Fade-in to an image of a large castle.
Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past.
The gems in the image glow green and fade to show simple pictures of a man rising from the earth before being surrounded by creatures, barely held back by warriors.
Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness — creatures of destruction — the creatures of Grimm - set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void.
Black sets in, then suddenly lessens as a light grows brighter and brighter until a gem rises from it and lowers itself into the hands of man.
However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named "Dust".
The scene zooms out to show men shooting lightning, raising swords, and aiming rifles at the retreating beasts as a castle appears behind them.
Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life.
The scene then shows a map of Remnant, which houses other buildings until they disappear in flashes of white and the map is lowered to show the scattered moon over a city at night.
But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone... darkness will return.
We then see a man with a top hat, and four henchmen head down an alley from the shadows. They stop behind their boss, who reignites his cigar without touching it and grins before walking down the road, frightening nearby citizens as they make their way towards a shop, which is called "From Dust till Dawn".
So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called "free world", but take heed... there will be no victory in strength.
The man and his henchmen enter the shop, the camera lowering to a young girl wearing a hooded red cloak in the corner of the shop, reading a weapons magazine.
But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten. Things that require a smaller, more honest soul.
The henchmen look around and at the Dust crystals in the display when Roman approaches the elderly shopkeeper.
Roman: (flicking his cigar) "Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?"
One of the henchman points his gun at the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper: (raising his hands) "P-please! Just take my Lien and leave!"
Roman: "Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, calm down, we're not here for your money. (turns to the henchmen) Grab the Dust."
A henchman opens a case and removes one of several cylinders, which the group uses to take Dust from the tube containers on the walls.
Henchman 1: (placing another open case on the display to the shopkeeper) "Crystals. Burn. Uncut."
The shopkeeper proceeds to fill the case. As another henchman goes for another tube, he hears the muted "This Will Be the Day" song from the girl's direction, and unsheathes his sword.
Henchman 2: (pointing his sword at her back) "Alright kid, put your hands where I can see 'em. (no response) Hey, I said hands in the air! You got a death wish or something!?"
He goes over to her and turns her around, the hood dropping to reveal a surprised girl, named Ruby Rose, wearing headphones. He motions for her to lower them.
Ruby: (doing so) "Yes?"
Henchman 2: "I said, put your hands in the air, now!"
Ruby: "Are you... robbing me?"
Henchman 2: "Yes! What do you I'm doing?!"
Ruby: "Ooohhh..."
Roman is waiting for his men to finish the heist when a "Hey!" and "Hyah!" are heard, and the threatening henchman flies past him. Roman calmly motions for another to handle Ruby.
Henchman 1: (raising his gun at her) "Freeze!"
Cut to outside the shop, when the henchman and Ruby crash through the window, unaware that a hooded figure was watching this from in the store, before smirking and walking away. The other men look outside as Ruby gets up and unfolds her large red scythe. Roman scowls, but Ruby smiles back at them before twirling the weapon around, striking it into the ground and turning off her headphones.
Roman: "Okayyy... (to his remaining henchmen) Get her!"
The henchmen head out of the shop and run at Ruby, who spins around on top of her scythe and kicks the first approaching criminal in the face. She gets her scythe out of the ground and fires it off to hit another one with the butt of her weapon, sending him flying. She fires again and brings the side down on one attacker and dodges the next's gunfire with her rifle's speed, getting close enough to knock him into the air and follow him upwards so she can beat him away to Roman's feet.
Roman: "You were worth every cent. Truly, you were. (to Ruby, dropping his cigar and crushing it with his cane as approaching police sirens are heard) Well, Red, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around... (raises his cane and opens the bottom to reveal a rifle with a cross grid) ...I'm afraid this is where we part ways."
Roman unleashes a red blast at Ruby, who fires at the ground and leaps over it. When she lands and looks up, Roman isn't there, and is climbing up a ladder on a nearby building.
Ruby: (to the onlooking shopkeeper) "You okay if I go after him?"
The shopkeeper gives a short "Uh huh", and Ruby sets off, as the hooded figure watches this, while holding a strange-looking pocketwatch. Roman makes it to the roof, with Ruby high-flying again and landing right behind him.
Ruby: "Hey!"
Roman: (stopping at the edge) "Persistent..."
Ruby readies to fight him, but a getaway aircraft rises up and opens the hatch to allow Roman inside.
Roman: (turning around and holding up a red Dust gem) "End of the line, Red."
He throws it out at her feet and fires at her, resulting in a large explosion.
Roman: "Whoa-ho-ho-ho! (stops laughing when he sees something on the roof) Huh?"
We then see a mysterious figure now standing in front of Ruby, with her, Roman and his henchmen all surprised by the figure, who they all know far too well.
Also....there is one legend of which everyone of this world knows about. A legend, made real. One about a mysterious, masked warrior, said to come from the future, with the sole mission of defeating a great evil. One hellbent on eliminating all of life. A threat he claims to be far worse then the Grimm. A warrior, who fights for all, a symbol of justice, of light, of peace. A warrior, who would appear when the people of the world are in a time of need of his power, before vanishing, without a trace. This man....this warrior from the future, has became known as the first Huntsman. But, all know him by one name. And that one name is....
We see the warrior's, familiar-looking, helmet, which looks almost like a clock. The sound of a clock chiming is then heard in the background, as the visor of the warrior's helmet glows pink, showing strange symbols.
The "Kamen Rider"!
Roman: "The Kamen Rider?! I thought he was just a myth....Get us out of here, now!"
One of the Henchmen starts flying the aircraft away, but not before several streaks of purple appear across the craft. Roman is thrown around in the back until he goes to the cockpit, where one of his henchmen is struggling with the controls.
Roman: "What's going on?!"
Henchman 5: "I don't know! This thing isn't moving!"
Roman heads to the hanger bay to see a woman appeared.
Kamen Rider: "Little late to the party, don't you think, Glynda?"
Glynda: "I'm quite surprised to see you again, Kamen Rider."
Kamen Rider: "Hey, you know me."
Roman: "Great, now a Huntress too?
Roman then throws a second red Dust gem at the three, which the Kamen Rider shoots at with his Gun, as Glynda creates a purple shield over them. This giving Roman the time to escape.
Kamen Rider: "And he's gone. Bummer. Oh well, we'll get him next time."
Ruby: (looking at Glynda) "You're a Huntress! (putting on a pleading, awe-stricken face) Can I have your autograph?!"
Time Skip....
The scene cuts to Ruby's amazed face turn to one of shame as Glynda, with a tablet computer, paces around the table Ruby is seated at, right underneath a bright light in the otherwise dark room. The Kamen Rider is there to, sitting next to Ruby.
Glynda: "I hope that you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young lady. You put yourself and others in great danger."
Ruby: "They started it!"
Kamen Rider: "It's always started by the bad guys. And cut the girl some slack, Glynda, she did awesome out there, and nobody was hurt. Minus a few of Roman's goons, but they had it coming."
Glynda: "If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back... (she notices Ruby's smile) ...And a slap on the wrist. (she demonstrates with her riding crop, which Ruby barely avoids as she gives out an "Eeek! While the Kamen Rider was unfazed by this)
Kamen Rider: "Seriously Glynda? She did the right thing, she deserves praise."
Glynda: "However... there is someone here who would like to meet you."
She moves out of the way so a surprised Ruby can see a man in green come through the doorway, holding a mug and a plate of cookies.
Green Man: "Ruby Rose... (leans in to look at her face) You... have silver eyes."
Ruby: "Uh, um..."
Kamen Rider: (pushes the man's face away from Ruby with his finger) "And that was totally not a creepy way of making a first impression. Don't you think, you old geezer?"
This makes the man chuckle, with the Kamen Rider doing so as well, as the the two of them then shake hands.
Kamen Rider: "It's good to see you again, Ozpin."
Ozpin: "The same goes to you, Kamen Rider. It's been too long."
Kamen Rider: "For you, maybe. For me, it was like, what, only an hour or two since I last saw you? Time travel then that to a guy."
Ozpin: "I cannot doubt that, old friend."
Kamen Rider: "Hey, I ain't anywhere close to being as old as you."
Ozpin: "That is far. (looks at Ruby) So, where did you learn to do this?" (gesturing with his head at the tablet showing Ruby's fighting)
Ruby: "S-Signal High School?"
Ozpin: "They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?"
Ruby: "Well, one teacher in particular."
Ozpin: "I see..."
He puts the cookies on the table in front of Ruby. She tentatively picks one up, eats it in a single bite, and then, not seeing any rebuttal, shovels the rest into her mouth. This making the Kamen Rider place his handover his "mouth", while a snort is heard from him
Ozpin: "It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow..."
Ruby: (mumbles through her full mouth, while the Kamen Rider his hand over her mouth) "Oh! That's my uncle! (she then swallows and wipes her mouth, embarrassed, as the Kamen Rider lowers his hand down) Sorry. That's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm all like— Hooowaaah! Witchaaaa!" (proceeds to make some karate-style poses and noises)
Watching this makes the Kamen Rider look away, while covering his "mouth" with his hand again, as if trying not to laugh at Ruby's behavior.
Kamen Rider: (thought) 'Good Lord, why does this girl have to be so adorable?!'
Ozpin: "So I've noticed. (placing his cup on the table as he leans in, then sits down opposite Ruby) And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?"
Kamen rider: (recovered from Ruby's cuteness) "Really, Oz?"
Ruby: "Well... I want to be a Huntress."
Ozpin: "You want to slay monsters?"
Kamen Rider: "I can relate. Who wouldn't want to kill monsters?"
Ruby: "Yeah! I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon! (talking faster and faster with her enthusiasm growing) You see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, Hey, I might as well make a career out of it! (giggles) I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really, gosh, you know!" (flips out at the last part, staring at the three with a wide, crazy smile)
The Kamen Rider, Ozpin and Glynda all study her.
Kamen Rider: (thought) 'I swear, this girl's cuteness may someday become the death of me.'
Ozpin: "Do you know who I am?"
Kamen Rider: "No offense dude, but that was, like, the dumbest question you have ever asked someone since the day we first met."
Ruby: "You're Professor Ozpin. You're the headmaster of Beacon Academy."
Ozpin: (smiling) "Hello."
Ruby: "Nice to meet you."
Ozpin: "You want to come to my school?"
Ruby: "More than anything."
Kamen Rider: "I would personally recommend her."
Ozpin: (exchanging glances with Glynda, who shows her disapproval with a "Hmmph" before he turns back to Ruby) "Well, okay."
Ruby smiles, wide-eyed and open-mouthed.
Time Skip....
The scene changes again as a blonde-haired girl, who's name is Yang Xiao Long, tackles her sister in a hug aboard the large aircraft to Beacon, crushing the air out of Ruby.
Yang: "Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!"
Ruby: (gasping) "Please stop."
Yang: (releasing her sister) "But I'm so proud of you!"
Ruby: "Really Sis, it was nothing."
Yang: "What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees."
Ruby: "I don't want to be the "bee's knees", okay? I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees."
Yang: "What's with you? Aren't you excited?"
Ruby: "Of course I'm excited... I just... (sighing) I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything."
Yang: (going over and giving her sister a one-armed hug) "But you are special."
The girls' attention is drawn to the 2-D animated newscast on Vale News Network playing nearby, talking about the robbery and showing Roman's mug shot.
Cyril: "The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you, Lisa."
The mugshot changes to Lisa Lavender, who is at the scene of the robbery.
Lisa: "Thank you, Cyril. In other news, reporting witnesses have claimed seeing the infamous Kamen Rider. The legendary warrior who has appeared time and time again across Remnant for more then a hundred years, even long before the Great War began. This being the most recent sitting of the first Huntsman in history."
Yang: "Man, can't believe the Kamen Rider's back, again."
Ruby: "You should've seen him. He was as awesome and heroic as the last time we saw him."
Yang: (chuckles) "Okay, Rubes. Dial down on the fangirl mode, okay?"
The news feed is cut off as a hologram of Glynda replaces it.
Glynda: "Hello, and welcome to Beacon!"
Yang: "Who's that?"
Glynda: "My name is Glynda Goodwitch."
Yang: "Oh."
Glynda: "You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." (disappears)
Ruby: (among several other cries of surprise) "Oh, wow! Look, you can see Signal from up here! (Ruby and other students look through the glass walls at the town below) I guess home isn't too far after all!"
Yang: "Beacon's our home now."
Unbeknownst to the two girls, a boy wearing red sunglasses and red headphones with a Dragon symbol on each earmuff, listening to the "Don't Boo! Donbrothers" song, is seen watching them a few feet away, holding a familiar pocketwatch.
Boy: "Finished what I had to do. Now for the real fun to start."
The boy then turns the dial on the pocketwatch with his thumb, with it now showing a familiar face, as the sound of a clock chiming can be heard from the background, as the boy pushes the button on top of the watch with his index finger.
Pocketwatch: (digital beeping) Zi-O!
