Aurelion Sol wakes up after having a nightmare about the Dark Stars to see a huge rift opening in space nearby. Fearing it could be the Dark Star, Aurelion Sol did everything in his power to stop the rift but ultimately failed. His fears dissipated when a planet with a shattered moon came out. It turned out that Zoe was the culprit that opened the rift and brought over the planet. Zoe explained that she opened a portal to another galaxy and found said planet. After exploring the planet, she became fascinated with the people of the planet which is called "Remnant". She was surprised that they spoke the same language as Runeterra to which Aurelion Sol doesn't believe. When asked what to do with this planet, Zoe said that she was going to merge Runeterra and Remnant into one planet. To see what would happen when the two respective worlds meet each other. After completing this task with ease, Zoe went down this the newly merged planet and to get some popcorn, leaving Aurelion Sol to ponder for what's to come.
Chapter 2: A New Situation
It starts out like in canon with Ozpin and his secretive group discussing how Salem's forces are approaching ever closer and they need to find their guardian. Then Qrow reports on strange seismic activity occurring and even stranger things that followed after; there are now two moons orbiting Remnant, the days/nights are getting longer. But the strangest thing about all of this is how there are new continents appearing with civilizations of its own. After throwing some theories to explain these unusual phenomenons, Ozpin noticed two objects outside on the clock hand; a single piece of popcorn and a very colorful strand of hair.
Chapter 3: Vision of Empire
Grand General Jericho Swain called in the members of the Trifarix (himself, Darius, and the Faceless) for a meeting as well as inviting Alyssa Roshka Gloriana val-Lokan (The Principles of Strength
). Swain tells them he had a vision, something on the horizon never seen before. A strange land where the technology was vastly futuristic. The Faceless suggested that he could be looking at Piltover, but Swain rebutted that theory as his vision goes beyond Piltover and overseas. He recalls a word being tossed around: "Vacuo". Darius proposed to conquer this new land for Noxus, but Swain wants to learn more about Vacuo; where exactly its location is, how big it is, what weapons they have, etc. Swain doesn't want to go in blindly like their previous invasion of Ionia. He lets Darius tell his men about the possibility of conquest and adjourns the meeting.
Chapter 4: Suspension of Victory
Team RWBY and Team JNPR had just won their respective battles against Team ABRN and Team BRNZ as the match between Team SSSN and Team NDGO goes underway.

She tells them that Professor Ozpin wanted to have a word with the two teams with Sun and Neptune tagging along. In the main hall, Ozpin recounts the conversation in Chapter 2, minus the part about the Fall Maiden. After answering their questions and concerns, Ozpin reveals the piece of popcorn and the colorful hair strand to everyone, asking if anyone knows what this is. Unfortunately, no one knows what this means. After concluding the meeting, Ozpin ponders in his office, needing Pyrrha to be prepared.

It begins like in canon with Pyrrha meeting with Ozpin and his secretive group. After asking Pyrrha to recall the Story of the Seasons, Ozpin tells Pyrrha that not only is that story true, but she is next in line to receive the Fall Maiden's power. Taking her all the way down to the vault underneath Beacon Academy, Ozpin's group explained to Pyrrha about the Maiden and the power transfer. But things go awry when Amber, the current Fall Maiden, has gone missing from the pod. Ozpin ordered Pyrrha to keep what has transpired a secret, even to her teammates. Pyrrha understood this and left Ozpin and his group to figure out what happened to Amber. Throwing around theories, they concluded that it must have been Amber's attackers as their appearances and actions match up to Qrow's findings and the attack on the CCTS tower. As the four searched the entire area, Qrow spotted an unusual creature hiding behind a corner and Ozpin captured it. Unbeknownst to them, it was a "Meep", a spirit that travels with the Wandering Caretaker, Bard. After handing the Meep to Ironwood for further studying, Ozpin and Goodwitch were left restless, trying to make sense of everything that has happened.

Her caretaker then informs Amber what has occurred the past few days and introducing herself as Soraka. Soraka found Amber lying in a coma after Bard led the Starchild to her. He also left behind his Caretaker's Shrines for Amber. After noticing some unusual markings on the Fall Maiden, Amber confesses her unknown attackers who stole half her Maiden's power.

Amber accepts Soraka's offer.

She later attracted a farmer after destroying his crops. After feeding off his misery while luring him to her charms, Evelynn subjected the farmer to unspeakable torture before slowly ending his life. Afterward, she headed to the coast where the demon found a garrison of Demacian troops boarding a huge ship. At the docks, King Jarven Lightshield III, Prince Jarven Lightshield IV, and Luxanna Crownguard were saying their goodbyes to Garen Crownguard as he and his men are about to venture into the new world.

Chapter 12: The Alternate Fall of Beacon Part I
- It starts off with Penny fighting Pyrrha in the second round. It goes exactly like in canon, right up to Pyrrha cowering before Penny's thousands blades. But suddenly the three giant Nevermore appear, causing mass panic in the colosseum. Ironwood orders his airships to fend off the Grimm, but Neopolitan takes down the crewmembers of one of the Atlas airships and freeing Roman Torchwick in the process. Roman then takes command over the airship and shoots down the other Atlas airships while on the ground, Adam Taurus and his White Fang forces arrive at Beacon Academy.
- The Fall of Beacon has commenced as the hunters and huntresses scramble around in the chaos, splitting off to stop the Grimm/White Fang invasion. To make matters worse, Roman activates the virus, causing all Atlesian Knights to attack the hunters. As Atlesian Knights' gunfire pins down Weiss and Blake, Ryze appears and quickly destroys the robots. Before the huntresses could question who the rune mage is, more Atlesian Knights appear and were quickly dispatched by the trio. The three then split up to take down the incoming Atlesian Paladins, Grimm, and White Fang where Blake, unfortunately, meets Adam.
- Meanwhile, Cinder and her group lament their original plan isn't going accordingly as the Grimm Dragon approaches Beacon. Back to Blake, she was fighting for her life as Adam began wearing her down. But before Adam could fatally wound Blake, a newcomer interrupts the battle, knocking back Adam. This newcomer is Atreus, Pantheon's former host, as he beats Adam to a near bloody pulp, causing the latter to flee. Yang arrived as the two huntresses asked who he was. Atreus introduced himself to the two women before aiding them in fending off the waves of Grimm.
- Meanwhile, Ruby enters the hijacked airships and engages a battle between Roman and Neo. Ruby pleads to Roman to stop this madness only to fall on deaf ears. The two criminals beat down on Ruby before the huntress manages to knock Neo out the airship. Roman gets angry and continues his assault on Ruby, ranting on about survival. But before Roman could finish his rant, the two were interrupted by the Atlas airship being sliced in two. Ruby manages to escape the ship, later seeing a golden object leaving the ship as well.
- Meanwhile, the hunters and huntresses were fighting off the onslaught of Grimm in the courtyard, courtesy of the Grimm Dragon. Even with the assistance of Ryze, the Grimm were endless. But nothing prepared them when something huge crashed landed in the courtyard, crushing a couple of Grimm and sending the hunters back. In the crater was a towering crimson demon armed with a gigantic red living sword. Everyone stopped what they're doing, including the Grimm. Ozpin did not know what this creature is nor did the hunters, but Atreus and Ryze knew exactly what it was.
- Back to Cinder and her group, they were standing in awe as they saw it sliced the Atlas airship in two. As the trio converse whether to intervene, they notice the same golden object floating down to them. Cinder felt its overwhelming power, grabbing the Meep and absorbing its energy. Suddenly, they heard a roar from the courtyard.
- Back at the courtyard, the demon began to scream, declaring its intent on destroying everything it sees. The Grimm, attracted to the negative emotion it emits, rushes to the demon only for the beast to swing its massive sword, killing all incoming Grimm. The demon then turns its attention to the hunters and huntresses, where Atreus and Ryze order them to engage the beast from afar. Despite their coordination, they inflict no damage to the demon. The beast then sends shockwaves at them, knocking the hunters and huntresses off their feet. Meanwhile, Ruby was running to Beacon Academy as fast as she could, hearing the demon's thunderous voice from miles away.
- The demon roared to the skies, noticing the Grimm Dragon. The demon then flew into the skies and struck down the Grimm Dragon, killing it. The Grimm Dragon's cries were deafened by its slayer's screams. The Darkin Blade, Aatrox, had come.
Chapter 13: The Alternate Fall of Beacon Part II
- Picking up from the previous chapter, Emerald cries out after watching Aatrox slay the Grimm Dragon. Mercury asks Cinder if they should be concern about the Darkin to which Emerald heavily agrees. However, Cinder tells the two not to intervene despite being stressed that the Grimm Dragon being slain. She reasons that Aatrox would kill the hunters for them, much to Emerald's dismay. Cinder believes that the new power she got from the Meep would be enough to lure Aatrox away once the Darkin slays their enemies.
- Back at the courtyard, Aatrox smashes the ground, creating Infernal Chains that bind and pulls in all hunters and huntresses as well as Atreus and Ryze. But right before Aatrox could swing his sword down on his enemies, Ruby arrives and shoots at the back of his neck, distracting him for a split second. Using this short window, Ryze teleports all the hunters and huntresses as well as Atreus and himself away from Aatrox, right as the Darkin slams his sword into the ground where they were. Aatrox turns to see Ruby rushing at him, barely scratching his tough exterior and enraging him further as he could not land a hit on the fast huntress. Aatrox manages to catch the quick Ruby, crushing her in his grip. Face to face with the Darkin, Ruby tries reasoning with Aatrox only for her pleads to be laughed at. No longer wanting to stand around, Ozpin rescues Ruby from Aatrox, but not before getting hit by the Darkin's massive sword. Ozpin then hands the injured Ruby over to Reese and tells them to run away as he prepares to fight Aatrox.
- Meanwhile, the hunters and huntresses emerge from the portal, trying to figure out what just happen. Ryze tells them he teleported all of them away from the Darkin, draining most of his energy in the process. Noticing that they're by the docks, Weiss and Yang lead everyone back to Beacon Academy. On the way, Pyrrha began thinking about the match between her and Penny as well as the responsibility of becoming the next Fall Maiden. When her teammates worry about her, she lies about her wellbeing and tells them to go ahead without her. Once alone, Ruby appears out of nowhere and asks Pyrrha for some help with something. As Pyrrha follows Ruby, she notices something was off about the huntress.
- Meanwhile, Ironwood, Qrow, Professor Goodwitch, Professor Port, and Doctor Oobleck arrive at the courtyard to find Ozpin exhausted and at the mercy of Aatrox. Qrow instantly rushes to Ozpin, blocking the Darkin's attack, but the power of the blow knocks back the two. Aatrox then turns his attention to the professors as they quickly realize they stand no chance at fighting the Darkin. Despite the odds, Ironwood and Oobleck distract Aatrox while Goodwitch and Port help Ozpin and Qrow. Aatrox easily defeats Ironwood as Oobleck is forced to help the Atlas general while Goodwitch and Port move Ozpin and Qrow into the main hall; the latter are heavily injured and barely conscious. Aatrox sees the professors hurry into the building, grows much larger than before, and begins to destroy the Beacon Tower, hoping it would bury them. The four could do nothing but watch the Darkin destroy the tower. Right before Aatrox could swing his sword down and kill the professors, something golden fell from the skies, blinding everyone in the area. Once the professors open their eyes, they see Aatrox petrify in a golden form. Ozpin praises to whatever put the Darkin in some sort of stasis.
- Back to Pyrrha, Ruby leads her to a dead-end alleyway and tells her about something she found there. Realizing that she is not Ruby, Pyrrha pulls out her weapon as "Ruby" disappears into thin air. She is quickly ambushed by Mercury who almost got the jump on her but is repelled despite the narrow surrounding. Pyrrha jumps onto a rooftop where Emerald is there to attack her with Mercury following after. The two manage to take down the "unbeatable" huntress, binding her in place. Cinder arrives as Pyrrha asks why they are doing this. Cinder tells Pyrrha that she is going to kill her since the huntress is a major obstacle in her mission. Pyrrha, realizing she is going to die, regrets never telling Jaune how much she loves him. The huntress then asks Cinder if she believes in destiny, to which the latter says yes and lands the killing blow.
Chapter 14: Standing United
- Continuing from the previous chapter, Jaune realizes something was wrong with Pyrrha and heads back to get her. Looking for her, Jaune sees Pyrrha's weapons in an alleyway and later her bound by Emerald and Mercury on a rooftop. He couldn't do anything but watch Pyrrha about to be executed by Cinder.
- Meanwhile, Adam laments White Fang's failure in Beacon's destruction and rages at his humiliation against Atreus while wondering about his fate when he returns back to Sienna Khan.
- Back at the rooftop, Pyrrha is saved when a purple colored aura surrounds her, deflecting Cinder's killing blow and restoring the huntress' health. Soon after, a ninja with a spiritual sword appears and examines the situation. Realizing Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury are the threats, the ninja orders Pyrrha to stay near the sword as he engages the trio. The ninja takes out Cinder while Emerald and Mercury shoot Pyrrha to no effect. The ninja then takes out Emerald and Mercury. After watching the brief battle, Jaune runs up to Pyrrha and embraces her. The two share a deep-hearted kiss, breaking up immediately when they realize the ninja was still there. Pyrrha thanked her savior, who introduced himself as Shen. The two then introduce themselves to the ninja as they ask Shen who he was. Shen gives a brief explanation about himself, why he saved Pyrrha, and agreeing to help them out.
- Meanwhile, it was revealed that Roman escaped the airship and began to question his life choices when he allied himself with Cinder.
- Back with Jaune, Pyrrha, and Shen, they arrive at Beacon Academy to see the battle is over and Aatrox froze as a gold statue. Nora and Ren reunite with Jaune and Pyrrha as the latter introduce Shen to the former. Ruby reunites with her team and Qrow while explaining their perspective to the Fall of Beacon Academy. Everyone at Beacon Academy ponders was going to happen next.

Sigvar gives in and hands the boy a few things for his journey to find his mother. Nunu thanks Sigvar as the boy and his yeti say goodbye to the Iceborn. A week later, Nunu and Willump arrive at a mile-long ice bridge. After deciding not to cross the ice bridge, the two feel the ground shaking and hear loud voices nearby, prompting them to hide behind a large boulder.

Salem also discusses the recent anomalies like how there's another moon or the extended days/nights. During the meeting, Salem hears sparkly noises a couple of times before sending Hazel to investigate where the unusual sound is coming from. Hazel finds Zoe just outside the room, creating said noises and was eavesdropping on their meeting. The Aspect of Twilight walks in the conference and playfully takes out Hazel and Tyrian. Before Salem could react, Zoe knocks her out with a sleep spell. She then chats with the rest of Salem's group who are afraid of her. As Salem wakes up, Zoe introduces herself and explains the causes of the anomalies; Remnant has merged with another planet and she's the one who's responsible. Salem and her group were stunned by this revelation as Zoe heads out. Tyrian tries to stop her but Zoe opens a portal, sending the Faunus to an unknown location.
