Third Person POV

We see a view of the golden sun in an orange sky over the tall grass and autumn trees. In front of Summer's Gravestone is a young girl with a cloak billowing petals in the breeze. Hands clasped and hood up, Ruby. and a H/C haired guy with a black trenchcoat and a giant katana on his belt. Y/N, they stand over the white stone memorial.

Ruby: Hey, mom.

She looks down at the inscription: "Summer Rose – Thus Kindly I Scatter"

Ruby: Sorry I haven't come by in a while. Things have been... well, things have been, pretty busy. Oh, Dad's here, too! He's, uh, you know... Dad. He's still teaching at Signal. But he told me that he's going to be on some mission soon. I think he misses adventuring with you. I miss you too... Haven't gotten kicked out of Beacon yet! So that's cool. I think being on a team with Yang helps. Keep her in line... That was a joke. She's actually a really great fighter! You can tell she's learned a lot from Dad! Oh, so are Weiss and Blake. Oh! They're my teammates! Together, we form Team RWBY! And yes, before you ask, that does cause a lot of confusion. Anyways, I made a bunch of new friends, and then I met some... let's just say, uh, odd teachers. Oh! We've also stopped some bad guys, too! I guess it's like they say: "like mother, like daughter"! I still wonder why Ozpin let me into the school early. But uh, I guess he'll tell me one day. You know how he is. It's funny, the more I get to know him, the more he's starting to sound like Uncle Qrow. Oh! Also I got a boyfriend! He would like to speak with you! His name is Y/N!

Y/N gets on one knee and lays his gloved hand on the stone.

Y/N: Hello Summer. Yes, I am Ruby's boyfriend.

Y/N found a chant in one of Ozpin's books on magic when he was looking around that supposed to bring people back from the dead, Ozpin told him that the spell has a 1% chance to work and if it doesn't the caster has a chance to get put into a coma with how much the spell takes out of you, but Y/N is willing to try and take this risk for his beloved rose.

Y/N: Ruby, can you please stand back?

Ruby is confused but obliges.

Y/N: Choono slalem denni tay'lori olee-ay. Lucheno vadem klavlane. Blenay vedi nalem koreem. Blenay vedi nalem koreem.

The wind is howling, almost blowing Ruby away and a light emerges from the tombstone as Y/N hair and trenchcoat dance wildly in the wind.

Y/N: VILLOS SUSKO KONO LAMAL! VLEMON TAGOO!

Light erupts from tombstone, breaking it as Ruby and Y/N get launched against a couple of trees. Ruby opens her eyes after a bit only to be met with Summer running up to her and hugging her tightly, alive and well.

Summer: Ruby!

Ruby: M-M-M-Mom?

Ruby has tears in her eyes and her hands are shaking.

Summer: Yes my little rose! It's me!

Ruby: MOM!

She suddenly wraps Summer in the tightest hug she can manage. Y/N smiles at the scene, being reminded of when he found out Ozpin was his father. They release.

Ruby: H-How are you here?!?

Summer: Your boyfriend brought me back!

Y/N: I hope you like your gift Ru-

Ruby suddenly slams her lips onto those of Y/N and tackle hugs him to the ground. Summer can't help but smile at the sight. They release after a good few minutes. Y/N and Ruby stand up from the ground and wipe any dirt off their outfit. Y/N then shakes Summer's hand.

Y/N: My name's Y/N Sephiroth Ozpin nice to meet you.

Summer: Oh yeah! You were the guy that taught me how to use my scythe to it's full power!

Ruby: What are you talking about mom? He's only a first year at Beacon!

Summer: Huh? What do you mean?

Y/N sighs.

Y/N: I think it's time I explain my...Special power to Ruby...The both of you.

Y/N then explains about his reincarnations. Ruby and Summer look surprised.

Summer: So you reincarnate every time you die?

Y/N: Yes.

Ruby: Why didn't you tell me this?

Y/N: I was afraid of what you'd think.

Ruby hugs Y/N tightly.

Ruby: I don't care! You're still my boyfriend and I'll still love you!

Y/N hugs back.

Y/N: Thank you my beautiful rose. Let's go, the tournament is about to start and I think some people will be happy to see Summer again.

They nod and all three of them go back to Beacon.

(SUPER MAGICAL MAGNIFICENT SUPER DUPER AMAZING RADICAL TIMESKIP!!!!)

We see a stadium of epic proportions. Crowds are cheering in the stands, visitors from all over the world. In the field of volcanic earth and icy glaciers below, Ruby fires and swings her Crescent Rose at someone as Blake exchanges blows with Reese Chloris, the blades of her Gambol Shroud colliding with the hoverboard of her opponent until she flips away, readies herself, and charges in again. Behind her, Weiss waves her Myrtenaster as the sound of her mystical power is heard, and finally Yang dodges the explosive force of Arslan Altan's fist before returning fire with her own Ember Celica. High above the action, two familiar teachers are sitting at a sportscaster's desk along with Anubis Deka, another teacher at Beacon, with a microphone between them and the holographic image of the four kingdoms' symbols united as one.

Port: Hello! It seems that we have another astonishing bout ahead of us! Wouldn't you agree, Professor?

Oobleck: Doctor. And yes Peter, I think it's safe to say this match may be the closest we've seen of the four-on-four round of the tournament!

Port: For those of you just now joining us, welcome to the Vytal Festival Tournament, broadcast live from the Amity Colosseum!

He waves his arm to gesture at the entire event from his place on the gigantic screen over the crowds. The Coliseum is shown in its full glory, as shuttle craft transport people to and from the various floors while the entire structure hovers around the airspace of Beacon Academy. Explosions are seen throughout the battlefield.

Anubis: If this is your first time watching, allow me to break down the rules. The tournament is divided into three distinctive rounds; teams, doubles, and singles. Age and school year are irrelevant! In this tournament, your only attribute being tested... is skill. The winners of this battle will elect two of their members to represent them in the doubles round, followed by the winners of that round choosing one member to advance once again. The remaining combatants will then fight their way through the final bracket in the hope of achieving victory for their kingdom.

Oobleck: And yes, Anubis, these certainly are some spectacular spectacles on which to spectate on! I don't think anyone tuning in around the world is going to disagree with me on that!

As they say this, the scene changes to their televised broadcasts all around the kingdoms, from a row of holographs above the patrons in the Mistral Distillery to an Atlas home with a group of friends seeing it together, a bar in Vale where everyone turns to view the screen, and outside a mobile home in Vacuo being watched by a few Faunus on a projection.

Port: Ahh, and why would they? Now, let's get back to the match between Team RWBY of Beacon, and Team ABRN, of Haven.

The announcements cut back to the action, as Reese steers her board through the ice. She twirls herself until the board gets launched at Blake, but she's able to knock it away, only for Reese to direct it back at her opponent. Blake blocks it again, but the board rotates back to its wielder just in time to defend Reese as Blake delivers several slashes and kicks. Reese deflects each attack and spins her weapon around until she can flips way and ride it again, rushing towards a smirking Blake. She collides with the frozen shadow clone, and Blake uses his opportunity to slice the board in two, only for the halves to become dual katars that in turn fold up into bayonet-bladed revolvers. Reese manages to fire off a few green rounds before her tailbone collides painfully on the cold ground. Blake winces with sympathy. Meanwhile, Yang lands mere feet away from Arslan, who backs away before being pounded by a flurry of punches and kicks until she delivers her own hits, ending with the two smashing fists and creating a shockwave of force from the impact. Yang and Arslan are both thrown back, but Yang reaches her and tries delivering more blows before Arslan uses her rope dart to tangle up her blonde adversary and land a kick of her own to send Yang skidding on the ground. While Yang tries to get her balance back on the slippery surface, Arslan rushes forward and knocks her back even further. Nearby, Nadir Shiko tries aiming with his assault rifle at Yang before a sudden burst of frosty blue explodes behind him and leaves the whimpering gunner in a block of ice up to his thighs.

Ruby looks up from her sniper scope.

Ruby: Got your back!

Bolin: But who's got yours?

Ruby looks up behind her as Bolin twirls his staff, right when a black snowflake glyph appears to his left and Weiss kicks him through it into a rock.

Ruby: My BFF!

Weiss: No.

She runs off.

Ruby pumps her fist, whispering to herself:

Ruby: Yes.

Bolin crouches with his weapon as he sees a white glyph appear in front of him. A second later, Weiss dashes by and slashes at him, then leaps up and attempts an aerial attack, which he's able to block. She readies her sword while preparing a glyph behind her, and Ruby uses it to launch herself straight up and come down spinning on Bolin, who manages to block the curved blade. Ruby grimaces and blasts herself away to Weiss' side, and Bolin rushes at them, rolling away from the shards of ice that rain on him and jumping over Ruby's swing as he continues running.

Ruby: Whaaat!?

Bolin manages to reach an orange crystal deposit and slice off a shard, which he throws to Reese over in the icy half of the stadium. With Dust in hand, Reese fuses it with her board, turning the aqua lights to a crimson shade. She winks at Blake, then uses the board's heat to free Nadir from his icy snare. She comes back to Blake and slams her board into her enemy's blade, but propels herself backwards and knocks Blake through a frozen pillar. Reese attempts to use her board to slam her foe into the ground, but when she dodges that, she spins around in a flaming arc that Blake narrowly misses thanks to her shadows. Changing tactics, Blake launches the pistol part of Gambol Shroud at a nearby glacier and launches herself behind it, as Reese follows her and sees Blake with her back turned to her under an arch. Reese grins before riding in to deliver a flaming spiral at the shadow clone, only to see the ribbon Blake is launching to trap her opponent a moment too late. She pulls tightly and causes Reese to slam body-first into the string, only to use a final kick to knock her out of the stage. Reese crashes into the wall of the stands before landing on the ground, defeated. As Reese's Aura level drops in the team display until her image is crossed out and she angrily slams her fist on the ground.

Port: Ooh, a double whammy! Reese Chloris is eliminated by ringout and Aura level!

Oobleck: Oh, she really should've worn a helmet!

Anubis: This is why you need to study your opponents. Had Reese known of Blake's semblance, she would've been more on guard.

Oobleck: Indeed Anubis!

Back in the fight, Arslan uses her rope to swing around and avoid Yang right behind her, using shotgun blasts to propel herself forward. Nadir comes into the picture, aiming his rifle at Weiss as she summons another glyph and launches Bolin at him. The two teammates are helpless as Weiss creates a whirlwind from underneath them and slamming the two together until she forms a giant ice fist straight up from the ground to trap the two. It reforms itself into a ball that rolls around the field, and when Arslan sees her team in this state, she rolls her eyes, annoyed, before changing direction and sliding into the path of the ball. She readies her stance and drives her hand into the sphere, which cracks under her power and frees her allies.

Weiss: Yang!

Yang turns to look just as she creates a large frozen slide-like shape.

Weiss: NOW!

Knowing what to do, Yang blasts herself forward and skims over the wall of ice, catching Blake's pistol as her teammate uses Ruby as a launch pad to jump off of towards the remaining members of ABRN. The three only have a second to look horrified as Blake whips a screaming Yang around to land a devastating punch that sends the trio flying into their elimination.

Yang: Yes!

Port: And that's the match! Team RWBY is victorious!

Weiss: We... did it?

Ruby: WE DID IIIIII-is anyone else starving?

Blake: I may have worked up an appetite.

Weiss: Gee, if only there was somewhere on campus to get food around here. Oh, wait.

Ruby: It's okay, Weiss, I forget about the fairgrounds, too.

Weiss: I was being facetious?

Ruby: Gah! Well if you were hungry, why didn't you say so!?

Yang: Come on! I know just the place.

Team RWBY starts to follow Yang, but Weiss suddenly stops as she hears a ringtone on her Scroll. Pulling it out, she sees the caller ID labeled "Amara" she smiles and answers.

Weiss: Hey love. What's going on? Really? We'd be glad to join _IAR. See you there! Love you!

She hangs up.

Weiss: Amara invited us to eat woth _IAR before their match.

Yang: I'm down!

Ruby: What are we waiting for? Let's go!

They go to one of the unassuming huts set up in the fairgrounds stringed with paper lanterns with a sign overhead saying A Simple Wok, Team RWBY, _IAR and Summer sit at the stools outside, ready to order.

Yang: I'll have a bowl of the regular, please.

A large bowl of noodles slides in front of her.

Ruby: Oohhh... I'll take the same.

_ large bowl of noodles slides in front of her, as she clasps her hands in excitement.

Weiss: Do you have anything with a low-salt ...?

A large bowl of regular noodles instantly slides in front of her instead.

Weiss: Um... okay...

Instead of saying anything, Blake merely gives a nod and smile to the Shopkeep, who returns the gesture as he rushes through one door of his shop and comes out the other to leave a large bowl of noodles topped with fish in front of her. Blake's eyes light up as she drools over her order.

Y/N: I'll have a bowl of (insert favorite ramen here.)

Amara: I'll have the ramen with shrimp!

Raviera: Me and Isabelle will share. One large bowl of the regular.

Summer: I'll have the regular

Shopkeep hands all five of them their bowls while Weiss looks strangely at Blake, she gladly offers her Schnee Dust Company credit card to the Shopkeep.

Yang: Aw, Weiss! What's the occasion!?

Weiss: Consider it thanks for sending me to the doubles round.

Her joy is ruined when the card is flung back at her, and the annoyed Shopkeep points to his register as it beeps "DECLINED".

Weiss: What?! How can my card be declined? I was barely into my monthly allowance!

Amara: Don't worry my snowflake! I'll pay for you!

She grabs her wallet and pays it off. The teams enjoy their ramen.

Ruby: So, you think you guys are ready?

Y/N: Our team is well prepared for combat. Me and Isabelle have been training each other, Raviera and Amara, while the brains of the Raviera and Amara have helped us study our opponents. So, I'd say we're ready.

Summer: That's good! Being prepared can push you more forward to victory!

The intercom rings.

Port: Would Team _IAR please report to the battlegrounds immediately!

Oobleck: Yes! Like they were scheduled to, several minutes ago!

Y/N: : Well, it looks like this is it.

Ruby: Go get 'em!

She kisses Y/N's cheek and Weiss Amara's cheek. Later on, RWBY enter the Coliseum through one of its tunnels and head to their seats. Down in the field below, the scorched ground and cold plains are no more, and only a layer of white mechanics is left, with a central stage on which the two teams gather.

Port: This match is between Team _IAR of Beacon versus Team UNDR of Atlas!

Both teams enter. Team UNDR consists of Comic "Sans" Schnee, Frisk Dreemurr, Chara Waterfall and Asriel Dreemurr. As each team readies their poses, a circle of holographic roulettes start spinning frantically through various symbols and colors before finally landing on a green pine tree and gray thunderstruck mountain. With these random selections, half of the field opens to reveal a tree-filled forest, while the other raises a small rocky outcropping to fill in the circle.

Port: Three, two, one, begin!
