The opening ends to an overhead view of Emerald Forest, where a black bird is flying slowly and magnificently, right up to the moment it gives a final shriek and Ruby crashes through it in a burst of feathers as she plummets downward.

Ruby: Birdie, no! Okay. I need to focus! I summon Aria the Melodious Diva!

Aria the Melodious Diva: Level 4- 1600 ATK/ 1200 DEF

The monster catches Ruby and they land safely. Weiss, armed with her duel disk, prepares to summon a monster.

Weiss: Since I control no monsters, I can special summon Windwitch - Ice Bell!

Windwitch - Ice Bell: Level 3- 1000 ATK/ 1000 DEF

The monster catches Weiss and they land safely. Ren descends

Ren: I summon the Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves!

The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves: Level 3- 1000 ATK/ 500 DEF

Ren lands safely thanks to help of his monster.

Yang: Woo-hoo! Yeah! Time to shine! I activate the spell: Machine Angel Ritual! I Ritual Summon! Cyber Angel Dakini!

Cyber Angel Dakini: Level 8- 2700 ATK/ 2400 DEF

Yang's monster helps her land.

Yang: Nailed it! (runs off)

Pyrrha, her deck in her duel disk activated, prepares to summon a monster.

Pyrrha: I summon Amazoness Swords Woman!

Pyrrha's monster grabs her and they then crash through several trees and rolls on a branch, immediately sees Jaune as he continues to scream and fall helplessly. Pyrrha prepares to summon again.

Pyrrha: I show an Amazoness in my hand so I can special summon Amazoness Spy!

Amazoness Spy: Level 3- 800 ATK/ 1200 DEF

The monster throws its dagger deep into the forest until a "THUNK!" is heard.

Jaune: (in the distance) Thank you!

Pyrrha: (waving) I'm sorry!

JP is falling but he has an unimpressed look on his face.

JP: Can't summon any Cyberse Monsters so I can keep my identity a secret. What monster? (Pause) I got it! I summon Goblindbergh!

Goblindbergh: Level 4- 1400 ATK/ 0 DEF

JP: Its special ability allows to summon Gagaga Gardna!

Gagaga Gardna: Level 4- 1500 ATK/ 2000 DEF

JP: I overlay my Level 4 Goblindbergh and Gagaga Gardna to build the Overlay Network! I XYZ Summon! Number 39: Utopia!

Number 39: Utopia- Rank 4- 2500 ATK/ 2000 DEF

JP lands on his monster's shoulder and they land easily. In the middle of the forest, Ruby lands in a crouch, then darts off with a single mantra in her mind being followed by Aria the Melodious Diva.

Ruby (thinking): Gotta find Yang! Gotta find Yang, gotta find Yang, gotta find... (shouting) Yang! Yaaaang! (internally, now seeing herself partnered with various people) Oh, this is bad, this is really bad... What if I can't find her? What if someone finds her first? Well, there's always Jaune. He's nice. He's funny! ...I don't think he's very good in a fight, though. Ooh! What about Blake?! So mysterious, so calm... Plus she likes books! Then again, I'm not sure I'd be able to hold a conversation with her... Ugh! (shakes her head of daydreams) There's JP. He said that he would be on my team. He's such a great friend. And cute. (Ruby shakes her head) Okay... Who else do I know in this school? There's Yang, Jaune, Blake, JP, aaaand...

Time seems to slow down as Ruby skids to a halt in front of Weiss as she is turning to face her. She stops just in time for their eyes to meet and a pregnant pause follows. This ends when Weiss turns on her heel and walks the other way followed by her Ice Bell.

Ruby: (following her slightly) Wait! Where are you going?! (stops and kicks the ground dejectedly) We're supposed to be teammates...

Weiss is seen struggling through the forest, giving an occasional grunt or "Ow!" as she pushes plants out of her way. She brushes herself off and sighs in relief when she hears a voice above her.

Jaune: (apparently struggling to free himself) Come on, come on! Stupid...!

Weiss sees Jaune hanging a few feet in the air by the spear embedded in his hood and the tree behind him. As he gives up trying to pull it out, he looks down and sees Weiss, giving an embarrassed wave. Weiss simply heads back in the direction she came from and Jaune groans in dejection.

Weiss: (as she passes Ruby and pulls on her hood) By no means does this make us friends.

Ruby: (overjoyed as she's dragged away into the bushes) You came back!

Jaune: (seeing the scene and waving his arms) Wait! Come back! Who's going to get me down from here?! I should've summoned a monster.

Pyrrha (below): "Jaune?" (he looks down at his savior) "Do you... have any spots left on your team?"

Jaune: (crossing his arms) Very funny... (he eventually looks down at her and gives a smile, which she returns)

The scene changes to Weiss trudging through the forest, with Ruby back a ways behind her.

Ruby: What's the hurry?

Weiss: I will not let my mission be delayed because you're too slow! I swear, if I get a bad grade because of your- (a smiling Ruby suddenly appears next to her) What the...?

Ruby: I'm not slow, see? You don't have to worry about me!

Weiss: (looking back, slightly amazed) When did...?

Ruby: Weiss, just because I don't exactly know how to deal with people doesn't mean I don't know how to deal with monsters! (gets an arm around a skeptical Weiss' shoulders) You're about to see a whole different side of me today, Weiss, and after it's all over, you're going to be like, "Wow! That Ruby girl is really, really cool... (somewhat mousily) and I wanna be her friend!"

Ruby disappears in a shower of rose petals, which Weiss waves away from her face just as she hears crackling and rustling in the bushes around her.

Weiss: (calling out to Ruby) You may be fast, but you still excel at wasting time! (silence, save more noises) Ruby? (the forest darkens, forcing Weiss to lean in to try and find her new partner as a pair of red eyes are seen glaring behind her) Ruby...?

The camera revolves around Weiss, as multiple pairs of red eyes stare at her from the bushes and a deep growl is heard. She turns around until she spots a large, jagged Beowolf emerging from a bush and approaching her.

Weiss: Ruby!

The Beowolf roars as the scene goes black and the ending credits play.
