"Ruby Rose, a girl who admires Huntsmen, along with her elder sister Yang Xiao Long enroll into Beacon Academy, a training school for Huntsmen. Her talents were discovered by Ozpin, the school\u2019s Headmaster. Weiss Schnee, heiress of the world\u2019s largest Dust manufacturing company, the Schnee Dust Company (S.D.C.), has disagreements with her father, defeats Arma Gigas, and leaves. Blake Belladona, a former member of White Fang, a terrorist organization and sworn enemy of the S.D.C., also leaves her organization. These two girls also become new students at Beacon. With hope and secret passion in their hearts, the story of these four girls who dream to become Huntsmen, now begin."

"Young boys and girls wanting to become Huntsmen gather to attend Beacon\u2019s entrance ceremony. As everyone gathers, a shy Ruby is being urged by Yang to make friends. However, after being dismissed by Blake and angering Weiss, she gets depressed. Ruby begins to feel uneasy when she learns about her upcoming placement test, which will determine the team members she would spend the rest of her school days together. As all new students must enter the forest where dangerous Grimm lurk, Ruby, impatient with the test\u2019s rule of teaming up, pairs with the first person she sees, but\u2026"

"Based on the test results, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang form \u201cTeam RWBY\u201d, and their school life beings. However, the four are not able to open up to each other just yet. Weiss, unaccepting that Ruby was chosen as team leader, appeals to the professor that she is more capable of the role, but is advised to be \u201cbe the best teammate.\u201d On the other hand, Jaune had been chosen as the leader of \u201cTEAM JNPR\u201d, with Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren as his teammates. Feeling discouraged about his lack of skill and cowardness, he is possessed by the Grimm \u201cNightmare\u201d."

"On her snowboard, Ruby slides down the snowy field. Weiss, possessed by the Grimm \u201cNightmare\u201d, created a world in her dreams, which is a reflection of her mind. With the help of Shion, a Huntsman specializing in the Grimm \u201cNightmare\u201d, Ruby sneaks into Weiss\u2019 dream and heads toward the place where the \u201cNightmare\u201d had taken root. Those possessed by the \u201cNightmare\u201d will be entrapped in a nightmare where Aura and life will be deprived. Weiss was already in a dangerous condition. Ruby was so eager to quickly free Weiss from the \u201cNightmare\u201d but the world reflecting Weiss\u2019 mind, block\u2019s Ruby\u2019s way."

"Attacked by Weiss and finding herself cornered, Ruby is rescued by Shion. Even after she had awakend from the dream, Ruby starts to feel uncertain having heard Weiss\u2019 aggressive words. However, she decides to take on the challenge once again and returns to the dream, this time accompanied by Yang and Blake. In the dream, the empire, ruled by the Schnee family and protected by Nega-Weiss, had increased their alert levels due to Ruby\u2019s escape. Seeing how important the Schnee family is to Weiss and also her fear and hatred toward the White Fang, the three girls get confused but nevertheless make their way into the dream."

"Ruby\u2019s party reaches the inner depths of the dream, but Nega-Weiss attacks trying to eliminate Blake. Blake has a difficult timing fighting Weiss\u2019 relentless attacks and is also hurt from hearing harsh words that she and the Faunus were enemies to her. Although they were able to find the \u201cNightmare\u201d, they could not defeat Weiss, who had exploded in anger by Ruby and Yang\u2019s betrayal and hatred toward Blake. The three had no choice but to retreat to the real world. Ruby\u2019s party had become depress, hearing that sneaking into the dream which meant defeating the \u201cNightmare\u201d, had become more difficult because of this failure. Dark clouds had gathered concerning this mission of exploring Weiss\u2019 mind and heart\u2026"

"With advice from Team JNPR, Penny, and Sun, Ruby\u2019s party decides to try a new plan. Along with Jaune, who had acquired immunity toward the \u201cNightmare\u201d, the four sneak into Weiss\u2019 dream. Using the train they had rescued from White Fang, they were able to approach close to the center of the empire. Jaune, not being affected by the \u201cNightmare\u201d, was able to move freely, releases the Sillies, the residents of the dream who were locked away by the empire, and succeeds in obtaining a new relic. Suddenly, a large number of little Weiss jumps out\u2026"

"The city falls along with the deformed Sillies and the robot soldiers affected by the bugs\u2019 rampage. As the situation gets chaotic, Nega-Weiss shows up with a giant statute of Nicholas, capturing the Sillies one after another. Although Jaune bravely confronts the statue of Jacques, who is wearing armor that\u2019s reminiscent of Grimm \u201cGeist\u201d, he and Pyrrha, a resident of the dream, are captured. Meanwhile, Ruby\u2019s party manages to reach the core of the dream where the \u201cNightmare\u201d had rooted, but Nega-Weiss stands in their way. Yang and Blake are swallowed into the glyphs and disappear."

"In the dorm room, Weiss, smiling, hands Ruby a cup of coffee and the two talk. Weiss leaves the room saying, \u201cThere is a reason for everything.\u201d It was Ruby\u2019s dream, who was possessed by the \u201cNightmare\u201d due to her weakening spirit. Ruby awakes just in time with Jaune\u2019s help. Meanwhile, Yang and Blake had been sent to a mansion, which looked like it was symbolizing the history of the conflict between the White Fang and the S.D.C. Ruby, who had returned to Weiss\u2019 dream, and Blake each propose a new plan."

"Blake\u2019s plan was a much too dangerous one, making the \u201cNightmare\u201d possess Blake so that they could confront Nega-Weiss. Yang objects but Blake was firmly determined. Shion and Ozpin decide to accept her plan, considering Weiss\u2019s urgent condition. As Blake becomes covered with the \u201cNightmare\u201d, an ominous herd of shadows appears. Blake gives the word of command, \u201cBurry the Schnee Dust Company!\u201d toward the shadows, which looked just like Adam, who she had left behind in her past. Blake attacks Nega-Weiss along with the herd, and Nega-Weiss confronts them with anger. It was indistinguishable if the herd was Grimm or the White Fang. Meanwhile, Ruby uses this chance to head toward the center core of the dream, where the \u201cNightmare\u201d had rooted."

"As Yang fights the statue of Nicholas, Jaune and the Sillies fight the statue of Jacques. The robot army that had been created from Weiss\u2019s nightmare fight the deformed White Fang which had been created from Blake\u2019s nightmare. While battles are held in various places, Nega-Weiss clashes with Nega-Blake. Weiss is overwhelmed but tries to confront Nega-Blake, raging with Faunus\u2019 anger who were being continuously oppressed. On the other hand, Ruby reaches the core of the dream and attacks the briar that covers the \u201cNightmare\u201d but it quickly goes back to its original form and she is unable to destroy it. As she gets flustered, she remembers the words Weiss had said in Ruby\u2019s dreams."

"Freed from the nightmare, Team RWBY resume their school life. The teammates had opened their hearts to each other more than before. Ruby decides to do her best as leader, and Yang supports her younger sister\u2019s decision. Weiss and Blake promise to accept each other as teammates."
