Volume 2 Episode 1: Best Day Ever

The shopkeeper from "From Dust Till Dawn" is on top of a ladder hanging a re-opening sign. When he gets off the ladder he trips and falls. Emerald appears and helps him stand up.

Emerald: Excuse me sir, do you know where I can find this store?

Emerald gives the shopkeeper a piece of paper, after looking at it for a while the shopkeeper gives Emerald some directions.

Emerald: Thank you sir. See you.

They wave goodbye each other as Emerald walks away. After walking for a while Emerald comes across Mercury, who was waiting for her.

Mercury: I knew you were lost.

Emerald: Would you shut up for 50 lien?

Mercury: That's not even your money.

Emerald: Like you're someone to judge.

Mercury: Whatever, you like me.

Emerald and Mercury walk into a store, the sign reads "Tukson's Ruby hatedom store, house of every official anti-Ruby merchandise under the sun". After getting into the store Emerald rings a bell. Tukson comes from the backstore.

Tukson: Hi welcome to…

Tukson recognizes Emerald and Mercury.

Tukson: Welcome to Tukson's. How my I help you?

Emerald: Do you have any green T-shirts of Ruby being eaten alive by a pack of beowolves?

Mercury is looking at the merchandise on display.

Mercury: He has it. Grey model too.

Emerald: Great.

Tukson: Would you like any?

Emerald: No, just wondering. What about those posters of Ruby crying while cutting her veins?

Tukson: Yes, we have them.

Emerald: Ooh, options are nice.

Mercury: Do you have any pins?

Tukson: Near the front.

Emerald: Oh wait! What about the poster of Adam from the White Fang holding Ruby's head while her beheaded corpse lies on a puddle of blood at Adam's feet?

Tukson: I… don't believe we have that one.

Mercury: Are you Tukson?

Tukson: Yes.

Mercury: Did you come up with the catchphrase of this store?

Tukson: Yes, I did.

Mercury: What was it again?

Tukson: House of every official anti-Ruby merchandise under the sun.

Mercury: Except the poster of Adam Taurus holding Ruby's head while her beheaded corpse lies on a puddle of blood at his feet.

Tukson: It's just a catchphrase.

Mercury: It's false advertising!

Mercury activates some switches, darkening the store's windows while Emerald talks with Tukson.

Emerald: You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep Tukson. Your brothers at the White Fang won't be happy to listen that you're planning to leave to Vacuo. Neither are we. Do you know who we are?

Tukson: Yes.

Emerald: Do you know why we're here?

Tukson: Yes.

Emerald: Will you try to fight back?

Tukson jumps onto the counter.

Tukson:Yes!

Tukson leaps at Emerald but she dodges and Tukson gets kicked in the face by Mercury. Mercury and Emerald leave the store. Mercury is wearing some anti-Ruby pins.

Emerald: What's with that?

Mercury: I like the slogans.

Mercury and Emerald walk away.

Ruby and Weiss are talking in their dorm.

Weiss: Please, don't go to the cafeteria, you will get bullied if you go there. Come with me, we'll have breakfast together on the rooftop, just you and me.

Ruby: But I want to spend time with the others, I don't want to live excluded from everybody else.

Weiss: Please, I don't want you to be hurt.

Ruby: Don't worry Weiss, I'll be fine.

Weiss: (Sigh) Alright, but if something happens get out of there and come to the rooftop; I'll be waiting for you there.

Ruby: Thank you.

Ruby kisses Weiss in the cheek and leaves to the cafeteria.

Hundreds of Beacon students are having lunch at the cafeteria. Yang, Blake and Team JNPR are eating together at the same table. Ruby opens the door of the cafeteria and gets in. The cafeteria gets silent as Ruby enters in and walks to Yang's table, sitting next to her.

Ruby: Hello my friends. It's been some time since we last had breakfast together and I thought that…

Yang punches Ruby in the face, throwing her onto the ground and making her cry.

Ruby: (Crying) Why? I just want to have a good time with you with you before the next semester.

Team JNPR, Blake and Yang stand up forming a circle around Ruby. They start smiling.

Yang: (Laughing) Don't worry Ruby; we're surely going to have a good time…

The scene fades away with a close up of Ruby's horrified face as Yang gets closer to her.

Sun is talking with a blue-haired guy outside the cafeteria.

Sun: And the best part is that she's a faunus. But that's a secret, understood?

Neptune: Yeah. It sounds like they're really cool people.

Sun: They are! That's why I want you to be cool too. Will you be cool?

Neptune: Sun…

Neptune does a cool pose.

Sun: Good argument.

Neptune and Sun get into the cafeteria. When they get in they find Ruby hanging upside-down from the ceiling and crying while all the students in the cafeteria are throwing their food at her and insulting her.

Yang: (Throws a tomato to Ruby) Leave Beacon and never come back!

Nora: (Throws eggs to Ruby) You're a disgrace for Beacon!

Sun and Neptune approach Blake.

Sun: Hey Blake. What's going on here?

Blake: (Throws a plate of spaghettis to Ruby and turns towards Sun) That girl is Ruby Rose. (Turns towards Ruby again) You're the most disgusting being in all of Remnant!

After finding out about Ruby's identity Sun and Neptune take off their shirts and start dancing on top of a table to cheer the students who are throwing food at Ruby. After a while Glynda and Ozpin get into the cafeteria.

Glynda: What's going on here?

Everybody stops. Glynda uses her magic to untie Ruby, making her fall to the ground. Ruby starts running towards Ozpin with her arms open to hug him.

Ruby: (Crying while running towards Ozpin) You saved me!

Ozpin: No.

When Ruby is about to hug Ozpin he dodges her and grabs her from behind.

Ruby: (Crying) What?

Ozpin does Ruby a German Suplex through one of the tables in the cafeteria.

Glynda: (In an angry tone) How dare you break Beacon's property? You're getting a punishment young lady.

Ruby: (Crying while rubbing her back in pain) It was Ozpin!

Ozpin: You shouldn't blame others for your actions Ruby, that will only make your punishment worse.

Ruby: (Crying) But…

Ozpin slaps Ruby, interrupting her.

Ozpin: Punish her, Glynda.

Glynda nods and takes off Ruby's skirt and underwear and throws them onto the ground.

Ruby: (Crying) Please stop, this is embarrassing!

Glynda: No. You have to take your punishment.

Glynda puts Ruby on her lap and starts spanking her with her riding crop in front of Ozpin and the other students. Ozpin and the students start pointing at Ruby and laughing at her while she cries and screams in pain. After a while Weiss Schnee gets into the cafeteria.

Weiss: Stop it!

Glynda stops and throws Ruby onto the ground where she starts crawling and rubbing her butt in pain. Glynda and Ozpin approach Weiss.

Ozpin: You disappoint us Weiss. We expected better from you when you joined Beacon but then you started protecting Ruby. Maybe Glynda should punish you too to get you back into the right path.

Weiss: I don't need to get back into the right path because it's all of you who are wrong. I don't know the reason why you hate Ruby but she doesn't deserve it at all.

Glynda: Do you think we won't punish you just because you're a Schnee? What you're doing is wrong, if you keep defending that (points at ruby who is still crying on the ground) you will get punished too.

Weiss walks to Ruby and grabs her clothes from the ground. Weiss dresses Ruby while talking to Glynda.

Weiss: Feel free to punish me as much as you want, that won't change the fact that I'm doing what is right.

Glynda: Alright young lady. You're lucky I have to leave for now. (Points at Ruby) I need to take a shower and clean my weapon after touching that, but next we see you won't have the same luck the next time. I'll punish you so hard you'll beg me for mercy and swear to never protect Ruby again, and I'll do it in public so everybody sees what happens to those who get close to her.

Glynda and Ozpin walk away. Weiss helps Ruby stand up and they leave after a while too.

The scene shows a military base on Atlas' border. The place is filled with blood and Atlesian soldier corpses, some of them have their chest pierced, some of them have been shot and some of them are completely butchered. Tyrian, with his clothes, tail and face covered in blood, is walking towards the last surviving soldier who is on the ground bleeding from a scar on his right leg and coughing a purple liquid. The soldier shoots at Tyrian as he approaches but the faunus blocks the bullets with his tail. Tyrian reaches the soldier and kicks his weapon away from him.

Tyrian: You know? Since the moment my poison entered your body, you're condemned to die in a slow and painful way. You can change that though. If you tell me where the Schnee mansion is I'll kill you already, relieving you from your pain. Either way you will die and I'll end up finding out the location of the Schnee mansion so the only difference between telling me now or not will be if you die a slow, painful death or a fast one.

Tyrian and the soldier look at each other in the eyes. The soldier tries to speak but he coughs as soon as he opens his mouth, causing him unbearable pain. The soldier buries his index finger into his bound and uses the blood to write the information Tyrian asked for on the wall. After telling him the location of the Schnee mansion, Tyrian uses his stinger to pierce through the soldier's throat, killing him instantly. The scene fades to black as Tyrian walks away while laughing.

Mercury and Emerald enter into an old warehouse full of dust. Roman is there with some members of the White Fang.

Roman: Oh look, she sent the kids again!

Roman hugs Emerald but she quickly pushes him away.

Emerald: What are you doing!?

Roman takes out a piece the same piece of paper Emerald was carrying before.

Roman: Just finding out where you have been all day. Why do you have this address?

Mercury: Cleaning up your problems, one of them at least.

Roman: I had that under control.

Mercury: Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise.

Roman: Listen, you little punk. If it were for me I would take you and your little street rat friend here and…

Cinder: And do what?

Cinder comes down from a platform above them.

Emerald: Cinder!

Emerald opens her arms to hug Cinder but gets ignored.

Cinder: I saw in the news that you confronted Ruby Rose again. I already told you the last time, we're not supposed to harm Ruby, at all. If you ever do anything against her again I'll kill you personally, we have no use for someone who doesn't know how to follow instructions.

Emerald: He was going to let a traitor get away with his betrayal too; Mercury and I had to take care of it.

Cinder: Shut up! Didn't I tell you to keep your hands clean while in Vale?

Emerald: I'm sorry.

Cinder: Anyway, we're done with the dust. Roman, I want you and the White Fang to clear out this building. I'll send you details and coordinates tonight.

Roman: Coordinates?

Cinder: We are proceeding to phase two

The scene fades to black.
