Intro

The episode begins with multiple flashbacks with the Fall of Beacon from twenty years ago. 

A narrating voice sounds off in the background about it's past.

"Twenty years ago..."

The flashback sees The White Fang and Adam Taurus, along with Roman Torchwick and Cinder Fall destroying Beacon Academy as Beacon had multiple students as well as from different schools trying to defend Beacon as well. Grimm was heavily involved as well.

"Remnant, mostly in Vale saw a new era...A era that was truly experienced with..."

The narrating voice paused as a red background appears where Adam Taurus severely injures Yang Xiao Long by slashing his sword at the arm of Yang, a front of Blake Belladonna.

"Bloodshed..."

A black background would fade in as a background and it shows a flashback with Pyrrha Nikos sending Jaune Arc into the weapon pod away from Beacon.

"Sad goodbyes..."

Then, the darkness would fade in once more. Timeline wise, would go back to see at the Beacon Tower in the end of the Cinder vs. Pyrrha fight where Cinder shoots one of her arrows at the heart of Pyrrha and Ruby Rose sees this. 

"The worst of all...Death and heartbreak..."

Ruby was in shock as Cinder places a hand on Pyrrha's forehead as Pyrrha fades away. Then, Ruby cries out and screams out as the Silver Eyes activated and the whole background changes into all white afterwards.

"But, after all of that. A certain team was broken, later brought back together to stop one villain ahead of them that's caused The Fall of Beacon and the wars to happen."

The background would be painted in with color and it's in Salem's castle. Salem is shown.

"This woman, this dangerous woman...The darkness flows within her, because of her selfish needs. This woman's name is Salem and she won't stop at nothing until...The world is burnt down to the ground a front of her...."

What's next is shown with pages like a history book would be flipped and sees a war breaking out. The pages flip once more as the paint is being placed in the page with Team RWBY standing side by side with Ryuuto Yoshida, Gintoki Sakata, Zaveid, Shinsuke Takasugi, Shinpachi Shimura, Mutsuko Crowe, Velvet Crowe, Shoyo Yoshida, and two more people on their side along with tons and tons of allies by their side.

"A war would be engaged. One side was the legendary Team RWBY alongside with their allies, that came along for in their journey."

One more page is flipped as it's shown with The White Fang with leader, Adam Taurus and many more on his side and standing from a few minutes off of where they were was Salem shown standing inside from the castle, watching this from afar.

"As The White Fang and Adam Taurus was ready for war. Salem was watching from afar. Then, from there the war finally begun."


_________________________________________________________________________________


The episode begins off with no opening credits. But, Gintoki from the present asleep against a tree as he remembers every bit of what happened in the wars. He goes back to the days when it was the wars.

This takes place twenty years ago, the wars.

As Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long alongside with Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Nora Valkyrie, Qrow Branwen, and Oscar Pine were headed off to Salem's castle. They were on their base that was on outskirts of the warfield., they were in a tent discussing their next move. They were in the same room as Velvet Crowe, Shinpachi Shimura, Shinsuke Takasugi, Gintoki Sakata, Mutsuko Crowe, Benjamin Shimura, Ryuuto Yoshida, and Zaveid.

Zaveid was outside, keeping out on a lookout for more White Fang scum to clean out. 

"Has anything appeared yet, Zaveid?" A soldier asked.

Zaveid looked away from the binoculars and looks at the soldier. He shook his head. "Nothing yet." 

Ryuuto was in disbelief after the things that he found out about his brother, Shoyo. He was in a major argument with everyone else. 


"I don't believe in this shit! We need to go back there and save him! I will not let Salem kill my brother in that nasty experiment...IF that is even true!" He shouted out in anger. He wanted to go back out there to save him from Salem and The White Fang. 

Ryuuto tries to leave the tent, but Ruby Rose places a hand on his shoulder.

"Please, Ryuuto. Don't go. We need you on our team. I'll assure you, we will save him. Just please wait a little longer. Trust me. So, please. Don't leave." Ruby asked.

Gintoki nodded in agreement. "Yeah, Ryu. We got your back. We always got our teacher's back always. No matter what, at any cost. We will save him. And everyone in Remnant from a mid-life crisis. Right, guys?" 

"I second that. But, I don't agree with the "all at costs" thing. We cannot afford to lose anyone. Not anymore, that is..." Jaune says as he remembered what Cinder Fall to Pyrrha. His closest friend dying by her hand. To save everyone and the world from crawling with Grimm, The White Fang, and worse for Salem to rule the world

Nora and Ren agreed with Jaune. 

"It's for the better that we don't go in without some sort of plan." Ren wisely said.

Ryuuto sighed heavily, he didn't want to have time for this but to save his brother. But, he listens anyways. He goes back to sit down. "Fine...What's this "plan", then?!"

"How about a surprise attack? A surprise attack that The White Fang didn't see coming at all. We can keep contact making groups of two. One group goes to Salem's castle, while the other keeps The White Fang busy." Shinsuke suggested. He may not liked the idea of splitting up. What other choice is there, anyways when they have a good amount of people to pull this off.

Qrow disagrees with this but...He thought about it. 

"Okay. But, what if it goes wrong?" He asked.

Shinsuke looked over at Qrow. "Well, we don't have any other more options left. I guess we gotta make sure that...Nobody dies...Watch each other's backs. I suggest that...If things goes wrong, then...we'll bring the war inside of that damn castle if we have to." 

Ryuuto was totally against this...He shook his head. 

"That's not gonna work, Takasugi..." He said with a lot of serious doubt in mind.

"I can probably back Shinsuke up here. Think about it. We got the numbers on our side, to our advantage. The first group can have multiple escorts from our crew to make sure nothing goes wrong at all. While the second groups makes sure the pathway is closed for any White Fang members to step out of the surprise attack. It's probably the one and only option we got." Oscar suggested.

Ryuuto's eyes widened at this plan...He gritted his teeth, he just cannot believe this. Use other people's lives as a stepping stone to get towards for Salem. 

"Are you crazy, boy?! I'm sorry! But, I am against using people so they'd end up dead and it maybe because of--"

Velvet walked up to him as she slapped him in the face, as she was sick of hearing this sort of talk from Ryuuto... 

"Stop that, Ryuuto. That's not very characteristic of you to start doubting yourself and everyone here, who worked their ass off to fight for the world and keep the world pure from evil that lies ahead. I'm sure, if Shoyo was here right now. How would you think if he heard you say that? Huh?"

Mutsuko would exhale smoke from the cigarette. "Stop being so doubtful of yourself, Ryuuto...Don't you ever doubt us. Especially me. I will definitely freeze you right where you stand before you do walk out." She says with a cold, emotionless look in her eyes.

"You know, Velvet isn't wrong about that, Ryuuto. I'm sure he would've said "That's total nonsense. Never give up on anything or yourself, for that matter. Don't give up on anyone who has been there for you from the start.". Now, would he not say that to you? Do you believe in your brother's words?" Shinpachi asked

Ben smiled at Ryuuto.
"If we believe in his words. Then, you should too. I mean, that is why Velvet, Shinpachi, Shinsuke, Me, Gintoki, Mutsuko, and You stuck together because of him."


"We need you on our team. If your former classmates want you to stay. Please stay and continue the fight with us and for the world of Remnant and Shoyo's sake."

Ruby asked with a smile on her face, but she hoped that Ryuuto makes the decision to stay.

Ryuuto sighed. He nods slowly. "Alright. I'll stay."

"YAY!!! Happy ending to that sad stuff!" Nora yelled out randomly, as she would then ask this question. "Sooo? Who is in teams?" 

"Ah, yes. Okay, so team one who helps clear the pathway for team two would be... Me, Gintoki, Shinpachi, Velvet, Mutsuko, and Ben. Team Two is Ruby and Ryuuto leading the way with Blake, Yang, Weiss, Qrow, Oscar, Jaune, Ren, and Nora. Team Two will carry an escort team as we make the surprise attack." Shinsuke said, laying the full plan out.

"Oh? I'm not included?" A voice appeared as everyone else was shocked, mostly Ruby, Yang, and Qrow. She walked up to them. The woman revealed herself out to be as Raven Branwen.

Qrow blinked as he was at a loss of words. "R-Raven..."

Yang had a look of disgust. She just couldn't believe it. "Mom..." The last time she saw her mother was at Haven Academy in Vacuo. 

"What are you doing here, Raven?" Ruby asked. 

"What's with the long faces? I'm just here to help out." Raven says with a smile as she was mostly looking at Yang. 

"I doubt that...Why are you really here, Mom?" Yang asked, as she readied Ember Celica.


Nora, Ren, and Jaune got their weapons out. 

"I thought you had small ties to Salem." Jaune assumed since Raven did have possible connections with Salem, in terms of the relics and partnering up with Cinder Fall at the time.

"Relax, everyone." Raven sighed, but kept the smile on her face as she walked up to Shinsuke. "It's obvious, I know The White Fang has all info on you all. So, does Salem. But, Salem doesn't know about me. She doesn't know if I was added into the mix. But, also...I do know information that you guys aren't aware of yet."

Shinsuke looked at everyone else. "Calm down. Let her talk. Raven, like to explain...?"

Blake held Yang's hand and she shook her head at her. "Please stop, Yang. It's not worth it."

Yang sighed heavily, as she sat back down. "Fine. We'll hear her out."

"Okay...So, I'm sure as you people are aware of. Adam Taurus is the leader of The White Fang, now. After the uproars with what happened in Atlas. I heard what you four did along with you three, and Oscar Pine with Ozpin in him, as well as brother Qrow...Since I know you've just now found out about what happened with Shoyo and The White Fang. Right?" Raven asked everyone if they were aware with the situation of Shoyo being captured.

Everyone nodded. Gintoki and Ryuuto stepped up to Raven.

"What about it, Raven? What more info do you know that we don't?" Gintoki asked with a serious look on his face. His tone of voice was very serious.

Ryuuto got up close to Raven, as he had his hand on his sword's holster. "Spill it. Please."

Gintoki would hold Ryuuto back from Raven. "Calm it, Ryuuto."

"I will, I will. Damn..." Raven would sit down at a chair as she faced everyone else. "Okay, so...The White Fang seriously paid the cops in secret to arrest Shoyo and burn down the school that some of you attended. Shoka Shinjuku...What's worse...I overheard Taurus' conversation with Salem...They will be starting an execution for Shoyo, as a diversion. Just so you know, Adam is doing this to make a trap for everyone else to fail the mission at hand for when it comes to saving him." Raven explained as everyone else was shocked to hear this. 

Most people who were shocked about this was people who attended Shoka Shinjuku, like Gintoki, Shinsuke, Ryuuto, Mutsuko, Shinpachi, Velvet, & Benjamin.

"THOSE BASTARDS!" Ryuuto shouted in anger. 

"This is really war now....." Gintoki said with serious hatred in his eyes.

Yang got up as Blake tries to stop her. But, couldn't.

She tries to slap Raven after she fired up Gintoki and Ryuuto. But, Blake catches her hand.

"Stop..." Blake asked Yang, as she prevented her from slapping Raven. "Thank you, Raven. We needed that info. We need to change our gameplan now."

"Blake is right." Shinsuke agreed. 

Raven looked at Blake, Yang, and Shinsuke with a serious look, yet she had a small grin on her face.
"Oh, don't worry about that. I'll help out. Just this once...So, you all keep your plans. I will go after Adam Taurus. You just make sure you destroy Salem for good."


Qrow walks towards Raven with his hands into his pockets, as he walked past Ruby. "Sorry, kiddo. It's time that I need to settle this with Raven here. I won't let her do this alone."

"Ah, how very uncharacteristic of you, brother." Raven smirked at Qrow, as she never thought to this day that both of them would team up.

"Family sticks together...Right? We have a common enemy, anyways." Qrow says.

Oscar looked at both Qrow and Raven. "Bring me with you. Please."

Qrow and Raven looked at each other. 

"Since you have Oz. We need you, no. Team RWBY needs you." Qrow suggested to Oscar that maybe he should stick together with them.

Oscar understood. He nods. "Alright...But, don't die Qrow."

"I won't kid. Assure you of it." Qrow said.

Shinsuke looked at everybody. He hoped everything should be in place. "Okay. Does everyone know their role and is everyone alright with these plans?"

Everyone discussed at one time and nodded in agreement.

Zaveid would walk into the tent. "Guys. Wars about to begin. Get ready!" 

"Alright, Zaveid. Everyone! Let's GO!" Shinsuke yelled as Team RWBY, the former Shoka Shinjuku students, the Branwens, as well as the team of Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, and Oscar Pine heads out into war as the light fades into the scene.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Then, later on. Yes, Team One, with Team RWBY alongside with Ryuuto Yoshida, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, and Oscar Pine with their escorts did make it for Salem's castle as Team Two with Shinsuke Takasugi and Gintoki Sakata leading the charge alongside with Mutsuko Crowe, Velvet Crowe, Shinpachi Shimura, Benjamin Shimura, and Zaveid as well as their group of manpower.

Qrow and Raven Branwen had found Adam Taurus standing at a cliff, nearby at a sea which outside of the warfield, where they held Shoyo Yoshida for execution. 

Their plan was just only successful by little. Team RWBY did destroy Salem, but the twist was that..Ryuuto had disappeared. The White Fang's army was too much for the five former students of Shoka Shinjuku as well as Zaveid.

Raven and Qrow were defeated valiantly by Adam. The fight was mostly interrupted by having White Fang's men also forcing Qrow and Raven down.

Adam would then see the six being tied down by his men. He had a evil grin on his face to see them tied down. "I'm impressed men. Put those six down so they can see what will happen next." He ordered them to do.

The men had put Shinsuke Takasugi, Zaveid, Ryuuto Yoshida, Velvet Crowe, Mutsuko Crowe, and Shinpachi Shimura down as the five were tied up. 

"Taurus, you bastard! Let us go!" Zaveid says as he had a serious look on his face.

Velvet tries to escape. "Dammit!"

"We beg of you, Adam! Stop this!" Shinsuke begged.

Adam gave the five a evil smile, as they told his men on the other division. "Bring him in, men!"

The men had swords to the back of Gintoki's head, as he walks forward with his samurai sword in hand..

His hair had covered his eyes. His eyes weren't shown at all as they were dull.

Shinsuke's eyes widened in shock. "NO!"

"What the hell?! You son of a bitch!" Shinpachi tries his best to escape.

"No...No...Don't do it!" Ryuuto seriously begged, he didn't want to see things end up this way. Especially his brother may get executed in moments.

"YOU BASTARD!" Velvet growled at Adam in anger.

Adam grinned evilly at the six who was shocked and angered by this. He was enjoying every last bit of this...

"Gintoki! Stop! Don't do--!!" Qrow begged as he was interrupted by Adam shoving his boot at the top of Qrow's head.

Raven's eyes widened in anger and shouted out at Adam. "STOP! QUIT MESSING WITH HIM!!" 

Adam smiled evilly and spits in the face of Raven, taunting everyone. He looked towards at Gintoki. 

"Do it, Sakata...RIGHT NOW!" He yelled at him.

"Please! No! Gintoki, stop! Don't do this!" Shinsuke begged so much that he tried to escape from the ropes.

Gintoki walked up to Shoyo, as he raised his sword up in the air.

"NO!!!!!! PLEASE NO! DON'T DO IT!" Shinpachi yelled out to Gintoki.

"GINTOKI! DON'T DO THAT!!!" Velvet cried out.

Mutsuko was doing her best to escape as well. "STOP THIS!" She shouted out loud.

Zaveid was lost at words...He didn't know what to do...

"NO, GIN! PLEASE TO GOD! DON'T DO IT!!!" Ryuuto begged as well, as he tries to get up but is held down by Adam's sword as he stuck his hand with his sword. He yelled out in pain.

"Shut up..." Adam said with a dark tone of voice, as he watched Gintoki.

Shoyo looked behind him to look at Gintoki. "Thank you..."

Gintoki's shadow disappeared from his eyes as he had tears rolling down his face.

As soon as he would slash Shoyo's head off, clean with his own sword. Shinsuke Takasugi got up and he tried his best to stop Gintoki, but what stopped him was a small sword being directed and hit Shinsuke's eye. 

It was apparently Adam Taurus' new lover, and former student of Shoyo Yoshida, named Nicole Mayama. 

Velvet Crowe was shocked that...Nicole Mayama turned on them for this sick bastard.

Gintoki had dropped his sword as he was in tears. 

"Move out, men. Leave everyone else to rot...Nicole?" Adam looked over at Nicole, as he held his hand out to her.

Nicole grabbed Adam's hand as she evilly smiled at the six. "Let's leave the trash to where it belongs..."

"Yeah..." Adam grabbed his sword from Ryuuto's hand as he and Nicole walked away.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Later after all of that happening...

Gintoki was seen standing staring at the sun, as Shoyo's head was watching as well. Shinsuke looked over at Gintoki, as he was at a loss for words. Ryuuto was in tears as he was closeby with Gintoki.

Zaveid, Velvet, Qrow, Raven, and Mutsuko stood there as they felt horrible for what they witnessed.

Team RWBY, Oscar Pine, Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, and Nora Valkyrie finally made it but was too late. 

Ruby gasped. She was upset that she or her team didn't make it in time...

"Ruby..." Qrow looked behind him to see the eight reunite with their allies. He was glad that everyone made it alright. 

Ruby was saddened for everyone else, despite the victory over Salem. 

"Shoyo...He sacrificed himself for his students to live..." Qrow shortly explained but stopped at his tracks as Ruby hugged him with tears in her eyes.

Qrow embraced her hug, as Yang, Weiss, Blake, Jaune, Ren, Nora, and Oscar joined in on the hug, trying to comfort Ruby. Yang was also in tears as well just like his soon to be future husband was tearing up, Gintoki.

The scene would fade out into the light as a voice can be heard in these memories of Gintoki's.

She was calling out to Gintoki's name. Back in the present day.

"He's out asleep, mom." Kintoki says, looking at his mother. "How should we wake him up?"

Yang smiled, but she turned that smile into a grin. She would grab the bucket she had in hand the whole time. "This is why I needed a bucket, hun. Watch and learn on how I wake your father." She would splash the cold water at Gin.

Gintoki jumped up as he blinked and starting to shiver.. He looked over at Yang and Kintoki, as Kin started to laugh as well as Yang. "What's the big--?" He notices that they were laughing, as he woke up completely. He started to laugh as well. 

"We gotta get ready for Kin's graduation, Gin." Yang announced to Gintoki as she hugged Kin.

"Mom..." Kintoki's face began to glow in red, blushing...

Gintoki smiled at his son and wife. "Alright. Let's celebrate by going out to where Kintoki wants to go out to eat." He proposed to his son.

Yang nodded in agreement as she looked at her son. "So?"

"Oh, you guys. Alright! Let's go!" Kintoki said with a smile.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Ruby Rose is seen standing at the Beacon tower, looking outside of the window. 

''I'm still haunted by that day...I cannot have Emilia to get involved in all of it. I just can't...The losses aren't affordable. I don't see how could anyone from back then and ignore of what happened twenty years ago...That memory of seeing Gintoki and everyone else saddened because Shoyo was executed by force...It's just horrifying to look at again and again. This new generation cannot experience the same of what happened back at The Fall of Beacon and those wars...This new generation deserves better than the past."

The episode would soon end with her watching her students enter the building without the ending credits.

_________________________________________________________________________________

"There you have it guys. There's Episode Seven for you. My name is Kintoki Sakata, the son of Yang Xiao Long and Gintoki Sakata here. We hope you all enjoyed this episode. It was a sad one to see for me. Even seeing Aunt Ruby, Dad, and Mom cry, made me cry. Like--"

"Seeing everyone sad makes me want to cry!!!" Kita said as she walked past Kintoki in tears. Vanilla is comforting her.

Kintoki shook his head at that. "Well, um. Here's the episode title for Episode Eight. Graduation Day! Let's find out what school will I end up at. Here's the preview for the episode!" He went to go and check on Kita.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Preview: Episode 8 - Graduation Day!

Dean, Tony, Roman, and Tyler were in the Shoka Shinjuku dojo, sitting at the practice room during lunch time.

"Are you ready for the biggest day of our lives?" Tyler asked out of major excitement. He grinned to his best friends, Tony, Dean, and Roman.

Roman rubbed his hands together, as he nodded his head at Tyler. "Of course! I can't believe how much time had passed!"

"Now the question is...Where are we as a team, going to? Any predictions? My money is on Course Academy. Y'know the school that Tony's auntie run." Dean predicted.

Roman grinned at Dean. "I'll take part on that action. Fifteen bucks says we're headed to Beacon. The school for all huntsmen and huntresses all alike."

Dean take his hand out for a handshake, as a way to make the deal. "So?"

"Get ready to lose fifteen bucks, Deano." Roman shook his hand.

"Talking trash, I see Ro..." Dean joked and he laughed as Roman did too.

"Whatever you do, Dean. Don't doubt it. I mean, Roman can back his trash talk." Tyler whispered to Dean.

"I heard that, Tyler!" Roman said as he heard Tyler.

Tyler gave Roman an innocent look on his face. "Heard what, exactly Roman? I didn't say anything wrong. Not at all." 

Tony laughed at the three, as the three would begin to laugh as well.

"Not like how you were for five years straight, Deano." Roman joked right back at Dean.

Dean laughed sarcastically, but he took that joke very well.

"No blowup, Dean? That's a surprise." Tony spoke out to his rival.

"Oh, ha ha, T!" Dean sarcastically said as he couldn't hold his straight face back but laughed.

The four laughed as Vanilla and Kita were watching the four outside of the dojo.

________________________________________________________________________________

Velvet Crowe had visited Shoyo Yoshida's grave in the cemetery. She visited her and Shinpachi's graves as well. She tried her hardest not to cry.

"I'm sorry, Shinpachi...I wasn't able to...To...Save--"

But then, she heard a voice from behind her. 

"Well, I guess ghosts exist..." Cinder gave Velvet an evil smile, as she walked up to Velvet from behind.

Velvet turned around really quickly as she readied her herself with her gauntlet blade opened up. 

"So, I see sadistic bitches like yourself exist! YOU WILL PAY FOR KILLING MY HUSBAND!"
