Episodes

 * 1) The Outsiders (November 6 2020)
 * 2) *Turolin, Team RWBY, Team JNR, Oscar, Penny, Maria, Pietro, and Team FNKI arrive at Turolin HQ, where Wylie Haddock, the founder of Turolin and father of Miles, awaits them. Though upset that Atlas has been taken over by CRANE, Wylie is glad that Miles & the others got out of there safe while also reuniting with Maria & Pietro, who are revealed to be good friends with Wylie. Team RWBY, Team JNR, Oscar, Penny, and Team FNKI are then introduced to the rest of Turolin. During the tour, Team JNR reunites with Pyrrha, who was revealed to have survived Beacon via cloning abilities and has taken the mantle as Pamela Brown. While the other heroes are sleeping, Miles has a nightmare regarding his past and the death of his mother at the hands of Deckard. The next day, Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Penny, Pietro, Maria, and Turolin have a private conference regarding CRANE’s arrival and their possible alliance with Salem. They come to the conclusion that they have to warn the rest of Remnant and to prevent another great war between Turolin & CRANE, but in order to do so, they need to take back Atlas from CRANE Control.  Meanwhile back in Atlas, Salem & her forces have arrived just as CRANE has taken over the city. Though aware that Deckard killed Cinder Fall to gain her fall maiden powers, she and her army agree on the alliance after Deckard gives her the Relic Of Knowledge, though Salem warns him that any set-ups would get him killed immediately. CRANE then finish occupying Atlas, as Mordecai / Ironwood looks on approvingly.  Elsewhere in an area near Atlas & the ruined Mantle, it is revealed that Cinder Fall has survived Deckard’s attack, and is later arrested by the police force of a small city nearby.
 * 3) I'll Make Warriors Out Of You (November 6 2020)
 * 4) *Turolin, Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Oscar, Penny, and Team FNKI train for the taking back of Atlas, while Deckard tests out his fire maiden powers as CRANE continue to occupy the city. Mordecai / Ironwood later confronts Winter, the Ace-Ops, Robyn, Jacques, and Qrow in their prison cells and tells them the truth: Ironwood was killed in the invasion of Beacon, and that Mordecai, who had escaped from Earth to Remnant, took the disguise of Ironwood so that he can enact his plan into motion at the right time, and the right place. When the other Atlas council members confront Mordecai for his actions, Deckard kills one of them before CRANE arrest them. Salem, meanwhile, senses that Cinder is still alive and in custody, then commands a Grimm to capture Oscar so she can find out how to activate the relic.  Meanwhile, Turolin, Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Oscar, Penny, Maria, Pietro, and Team FNKI leave HQ to take back Atlas, but find out its being patrolled by CRANE ships. To avoid getting caught, they make a pit stop to Ovalo, a small city near Atlas. There, they are greeted by the city’s police force and a couple Grimm.
 * 5) Divide & Conquer (November 6 2020)
 * 6) *The Grimm are dealt with by the heroes, the Ovalo Police Force, Ozzie Saigon, and Niko McGillius, who reveals that Grimm are captured to be served as good pets to the citizens of the city. After returning the escaped Grimm to the pet store, the heroes interrogate Cinder Fall, who is surprised to learn of Pyrrha and Penny’s survival before telling them of CRANE’s plan. As they leave, Wylie tells the police force to make sure she doesn’t escape, much to the suspicion of head officer Suzie Collins. They then head to McGillius’ Bar / Laboratory, where Niko’s wife Judy awaits them. They also meet Pietro’s scientist friends George, Marcus, and Bert, as well as reunite with the Happy Huntresses, who got out of Mantle before Colin Jordan sacrificed himself. After a conversation of the current situation going on, Wylie announces that the team will be splitting up: he, Miles, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Nitro, Nora, Harvey, Marty, Danielle, Freddie, Riley, Laura, Bruce, The Buggles, and Penny will sneak into the military base to launch Amity Tower and warn the rest of Remnant about the alliance between Salem & CRANE. The rest of the team, consisting of Yang, Dory, Oscar, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, Team FNKI, Niko, The Happy Huntresses, Maria, Pietro, Russell, Wayne, Tim, Danielle, Jekiva, Timothy, DiXiE, BENNi, Ulrich, Reeds, Eiffel, The Slingshots, Adox, Jett, Sembello, Roxette, Montana, Angel, and other Turolin members brought to the mission, will remain in Ovalo and help disrupt all Atlas communications before heading into the city to assist them. Both teams would then work together to drive CRANE out of Atlas control. After Team 1 leaves for Atlas, Team 2 is soon confronted by more escaped Grimm, but they are saved by Brian “Seedwalker” Mordecai, high-ranking Turolin warrior and father of Alistair Mordecai who was presumed dead in The Great War of Earth. Meanwhile, Deckard and Salem sense Turolin’s plan to take back the city, and Deckard sends an elite team of CRANE associates to go after them, while the founder of CRANE, Emperor Yzma (through hologram), lets Mordecai know that his father is alive and is living in Ovalo.
 * 7) The Refuge Supremacy (November 13 2020)
 * 8) *Wylie, Miles, & Ruby’s team sneak into Atlas by stealing an Atlas ship that was taken over by CRANE associates. As they prepare to sneak into the city, Penny expresses her discomfort of being the new Winter Maiden, as well as her love for Colin Jordan, to Ruby and Miles. Back in Atlas, Qrow, Robyn, Jacques, Winter, and the Ace-Ops argue with each other from within their prison cells before Deckard, Watts, and Friar confront them. Meanwhile back in Ovalo, Oscar struggles with the idea of his soul eventually fully merging with Ozpin. Suddenly, Seedwalker and Yang’s team are attacked by the elite CRANE team sent by Deckard. During the fight, Oscar is knocked out and kidnapped by Lewis Petey, and the villains head back to Atlas with Oscar in custody, but the Grimm that was sent by Salem is captured by Seedwalker. After the Grimm (which can speak) tells them of Salem & Deckard’s plan, the other heroes chase after CRANE to rescue Oscar while some stay behind to protect Ovalo from any further damage, much to Harper’s suspicion. Back in the Ovalo prison, Salem confronts Cinder Fall for her failures and banishes her from the court, much to Cinder’s rage and dismay.
 * 9) I've Got No Strings To Hold Me Down (November 20 2020)
 * 10) *Wylie, Miles, & Ruby’s team sneak into the Atlas Military Compound, now controlled by CRANE, with help from May using her invisibility semblance. After getting through some CRANE members, they reach Ironwood/Mordecai’s terminal and Pietro hacks it to send a launch signal when Penny reaches Amity, while Nora expresses her feelings of inadequacy and lack of individuality without Ren. While leaving, they notice CRANE members, led by Friar, testing something. Penny, who is feared by Friar and some members as they know she is the Winter Maiden, confronts them. Friar tries to escape on his own, but the Ace-Ops, who have escaped from their cells, prevent him from leaving. A fight ensues between the Ace-Ops & Penny against CRANE. Wylie, Miles, & Ruby’s team soon join the fight, and Friar & CRANE escape after they witness Wylie, but not before Leechy, who arrived once hearing what’s going on, steals one of Penny’s floating swords. While the Ace-Ops stay behind to rescue the other prisoners, Nora uses her semblance to help the heroes escape the base, but injures herself channeling too much electricity. Meanwhile, Deckard, Watts, Mirius Caldro, & Mordecai investigate the damage before Leechy gives Deckard one of Penny’s floating swords he stole. Deckard then tells Watts to find and hack Penny so that he can obtain the Winter Maiden powers.
 * 11) The Fault In Our Stars (November 27 2020)
 * 12) *Yang, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, Dory, Brookfield, Roxette, Montana, and Jekiva fail to save Oscar from CRANE due to CRANE and Grimm interfering in their rescue mission. Ren argues with Yang and Jaune, claiming they’re in over their heads and have only made things worse since coming to Atlas and joining Turolin. While the Ace-Ops try to find a way to break out Qrow, Robyn, Winter, and Jacques from their cells, Wylie, Miles, & Ruby’s team take shelter in the Schnee manor (which has since been abandoned by most of its staff since Jacques’ arrest) much to Whitley’s scorn. Salem, Hazel, and CRANE torture Oscar for information on how to activate the lamp. Deckard, knowing that Penny is heading to Amity, sends an elite CRANE team to go after her with Emerald going with them. Yang & Dory’s team take shelter in Brookfield’s home while the ground outside begins to crack. Meanwhile, Seedwalker, hearing enough information from Turlock, heads to Atlas to confront his son, with Eiffel, Angel, Wayne, Tim, and Hubbard joining him while the others stay behind to protect Ovalo, while Pietro and Maria head to Amity to help Penny access the tower. Cinder escapes her prison cell to confront Salem & Deckard, but not before seeing the elite CRANE team heading for Amity Tower.
 * 13) Chariots Of Amity (December 4 2020)
 * 14) *The Elite CRANE Team, with Neo & Emerald with them, infiltrate Amity Tower to capture Penny. Cinder Fall soon arrives to help the heroes fight CRANE, but she is knocked out by Microndas and taken back to the CRANE ship hostage. Though Penny & Maria defeat the villains, Amity is unable to reach the broadcast signal. Despite Pietro’s protests, Penny holds Amity in place, successfully broadcasting the recorded video of Wylie, Miles, and Ruby warning people of Deckard, CRANE, and Salem’s alliance with the sinister group. However, Petey attacks Penny, who is then hacked by Watts through her sword while also stealing Ironwood’s scroll. CRANE is sent by Deckard to guard the vault, while the Ace-Ops disguise themselves as CRANE members to try and free the other prisoners. Meanwhile, Seedwalker & his team arrive at the Schnee Manor and reunites with Wylie, while also giving him secret files regarding CRANE’s future plans. Dory & Yang’s group and Danielle’s parents discover that a river of Grimm, mainly caused by a CRANE member, is flowing towards Atlas.
 * 15) Midnight At The Roxbury (December 11 2020)
 * 16) *A captured Cinder dreams about her childhood, where she was sold as a slave to a hotel owner in Atlas. Taking pity on her, Rhodes, a Huntsman, trains her to become a Huntress, but after her owners discover her weapon, she kills them all, Rhodes included. When Cinder awakens, she is confronted by Deckard & Salem, and is forced to watch the successful testing of a new CRANE weapon, The Acolyte, which destroys the capital of Remnant and several minor cities (located far from Atlas) upon fire. After sensing Seedwalker testing his powers, Salem and Deckard send their followers, with Salem using the river of Grimm to help even the odds, to attack them. Meanwhile, Oscar plans on working within CRANE & Salem’s Group to sabotage them, the Ace-Ops manage to free Winter Schnee (who was in another room cell away from Jacques, Qrow, and Robyn), while Yang & Dory’s team, as well as Danielle’s parents, escape the Brookfield home before it is destroyed by Caldro & his Elite CRANE team.
 * 17) War Of The Worlds (December 18 2020)
 * 18) *While the Grimm are sent to patrol the city and find Turolin, CRANE unleash Caldro’s Mechas to patrol Atlas, forcing many citizens to flee to the subways. Meanwhile, Yang, Jaune, and Ren are nearly captured by Caldro & his Elite CRANE team, but are rescued by Danielle’s parents via hacking into their jetpacks. However, Caldro unleashes a CRANE clipper-bomb which kills Danielle’s parents, but the other heroes manage to escape back to Ovalo. Once returning to the city, they try to use a Ovalo Police Force ship to save Oscar. Though hesitant at first, Suzie Collins allows them to borrow one of their ships, which Yang, Jaune, Ren, Pyrrha, Team FNKI, Ulrich, Danielle, Dory, Jekiva, Roxette, and Montana use to head to Atlas and rescue Oscar.  Oscar reveals Salem’s origin and true goal to Hazel & CRANE and tells them how to activate the lamp, trusting they’ll find the right thing to do on their own. Emerald overhears this and tells Mercury, but Mercury remains indifferent and flies to Vacuo with Tyrian and CRANE.  Back at the Schnee Manor, Ruby & Miles share a tender moment leading to their first kiss, while Whitley calls Klein to help heal Nora leading to Weiss and Whitley finally making amends. The heroes then hear a loud crash, which belongs to a malfunctioning Penny as Petey and several CRANE members surround her. The heroes capture 4 CRANE members but Petey and several other CRANE members escape in time. As a weakened Penny is taken back inside the manor, Wylie, Miles, and Ruby look on at Atlas under siege, fearing the worse has come.
 * 19) Dark Shadows (February 5 2021)
 * 20) *Wylie, Miles, & Ruby’s team interrogate the 4 CRANE members as Penny is being tended to. After getting the answers needed, they are attacked by a Hound Grimm and an Elite CRANE team led by Leechy, Bomber, and Microndas. As the heroes fend off CRANE and the Grimm, a hacked Penny awakens and tries to leave for the vault before being knocked out by Leechy. Ruby & Miles use their silver eyes / silver eye lasers to weaken the hound before crushing it with a statue, while CRANE escape after being overwhelmed by the heroes, but not before Leechy steals one of Wylie’s scrolls. The heroes investigate the dying Hound, which, to their shock, is a human Salem experimented on as he dies. Meanwhile, Winter & The Ace-Ops find and rescue Qrow, Robyn, and Jacques, but they are soon confronted by Caldro and his team.
 * 21) The Witches (February 12 2021)
 * 22) *While Team FNKI, Ulrich, Dory, Jekiva, Roxette, and Montana stay behind to assist Winter, The Ace-Ops, Qrow, Robyn, Jacques, and several freed Atlas forces in fighting off Caldro & his team as well as oncoming Grimm, Yang, Jaune, Ren, Pyrrha, and Danielle enter the Grimm Whale. Having begun to doubt Salem and her alliance with CRANE, Emerald and Hazel release Oscar but are watched by Leechy and Neo. Oscar and Emerald eventually reach Yang’s group but are cut off by Deckard and an enraged Salem, who reveals the lamp has been stolen. As Deckard & CRANE fight off Yang’s group, Salem displays her immortality by healing from any injury, but Hazel intervenes and holds her off for the heroes to escape, but Oscar refuses to let Hazel fight alone and uses the cane to explode the bomb inside Monstra, killing Salem and Hazel. However, Deckard knocks out Yang’s team and Jacques before he and CRANE leave back to the city with the group in their custody. Qrow, Robyn, Dory, Jekiva, and Oscar give chase, while Winter, Ulrich, The Ace-Ops, Team FNKI, Roxette, and Montana stay behind to plant / detonate a bomb inside the whale.

 * 25) Trapped In Paradise (February 19 2021)
 * 26) *Susan Stardust is interrogated / tortured by CRANE members who demand information regarding the location of the Turolin HQ. After being returned to her cell when she refuses to answer, she is visited by the spirit of her father Jay Stardust, who explains her hidden powers before encouraging her to break free and fight back. Once being interrogated again, Susan unleashes her powers to knock out / kill some CRANE associates, allowing her to escape the ship. Upon landing in Atlas, she is surrounded by CRANE associates until she is rescued by Dory’s team, who are informed by her of Jay’s death at the hands of CRANE. Meanwhile, Deckard and Alistair Mordecai interrogate the captured Yang, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, Danielle, and Emerald, but all 6 prisoners defy Mordecai’s attempts at demanding the Turolin HQ location. When being told of the info about the prisoners, Emperor Yzma orders Mordecai to bring them to him.
 * 27) The CRANE Ultimatum (February 26 2021)
 * 28) *Deckard & CRANE plan to use the time of Salem’s temporary demise to deal with Turolin and their allies. Yang, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, Danielle, and Emerald escape from their cells after Danielle mind-controls one of the guards. Oscar rescues them while Qrow, Robyn, Winter, Ulrich, Dory, Jekiva, The Ace-Ops, Team FNKI, Roxette, Montana, and Susan stay behind to deal with CRANE together. Cinder Fall manages to survive the explosion, but is berated by Watts for her reckless behavior and consistent failures. Just as she is about to kill Watts, CRANE apprehend her. Neo messages Cinder, threatening to escape alongside CRANE with the lamp if Cinder does not help them kill Ruby and Turolin. Ruby & Yang’s teams reunite, along with Emerald despite their distrust of her. However, what’s left of Mantle (as one area of the town did survive Jordan’s sacrifice) is soon attacked by CRANE, and as CRANE ships approach Ovalo, Deckard, via live hologram, demands their surrender or face more lives lost. Seedwalker and Willow soon find out about a deadly hidden truth about the relic of creation: the relic is a bomb capable of destroying the city if activated.
 * 29) Maximum Risk (March 5 2021)
 * 30) *Deckard orders a bombing attack on Ovalo, forcing Wylie to announce their surrender. Once Deckard’s hologram disappears, Wylie tells the heroes that the surrender is secretly a risky plan to drive Deckard & CRANE out of the city. Jaune heals Nora, and she & Ren become a couple, while Ruby & Yang swear to avenge the death of their mother by killing Deckard. Seedwalker soon tells the heroes, much to their surprise, shock, and anger, that the Relic Of Creation is a bomb and its capability of destroying the city if activated. Ozpin, who was not aware of the Relic’s true intentions, apologizes to everyone for his actions. Penny tries to escape to the fault, but Jaune uses his semblance to amplify Penny’s aura, the human part of her, temporarily holding off the virus. A Large CRANE ship soon arrives at the Schnee Manor, but they are attacked and defeated by the heroes before they steal the CRANE ship to head to where Deckard is. Meanwhile, as Qrow, Robyn, Winter, Ulrich, Dory, Jekiva, The Ace-Ops, Team FNKI, Roxette, Montana, and Susan overview the CRANE HQ of Atlas while avoiding contact with CRANE, Qrow plans on killing Mordecai despite the other heroes’ protests, as they might need Mordecai for interrogation, while Neo meets up with Watts and Leechy while also staring down an imprisoned and tortured Cinder.  In a post-credit scene, Mercury, Tyrian, and CRANE head to an unknown area to deliver the Relic Of Knowledge to artifact collector CC Calavar, who, unknown to them, plans on collecting all 4 of the relics for himself.
 * AC: Artificial Creation (March 12 2021)
 * 1) *Wylie’s group arrives at the Atlas Vault Building, where they fight and defeat multiple CRANE members, including General Phil Royale and Lieutenant Shannon Spade, before reaching the vault where the relic of creation is. At their request, the staff’s guardian, Ambrosius, deactivates the bomb hidden in the staff and makes Penny human, leaving her virus-consumed robot form to fight off Penny. Bruce quickly requests to Ambrosius to give Penny superpowers, allowing her to defeat the robot form and sending it falling to the abyss. However, this causes the staff to stop holding up the floating city of Atlas, leaving only a few moments before it collapses on top of what’s left of Mantle. After giving Penny the superhero name Twilight, the heroes ask Ambrosius to create doors across the two cities leading to the Turolin HQs in Vacuo, Vale, Jayra, and Ovalo, to evacuate the citizens. Seedwalker notices Mordecai on one of the security cameras, and secretly goes to confront him. Meanwhile, Deckard senses Turolin obtaining the relic and Penny becoming human, and goes to confront them with an elite CRANE team. Qrow, Robyn, Winter, Dory, Jekiva, Ulrich, The Ace-Ops, Team FNKI, Roxette, Montana, and Susan soon enter the CRANE control panels, only to be confronted by Mirius Caldro, Gy Kalahan, Dr. Watts, and their elite CRANE team.
 * 2) The Worthy Suspects (March 19 2021)
 * 3) *Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, Emerald, Oscar, and Turolin evacuate some of the civilians to Vacuo before realizing they can’t return and get attacked by Grimm in a sandstorm. Deckard, Neo, and CRANE, as well as a mecha controlled by Luthor, soon attack Turolin & Team RWBY while also attacking civilians in the process. During the fight, Yang is impaled by Deckard after saving Ruby from him, causing her to disintegrate and leaving behind her robotic prosthetic arm. This enrages Ruby and Blake as they fight several CRANE members while Wylie duels with Deckard. Mordecai, after killing Jacques, is soon confronted by Seedwalker, who implores him to abandon his CRANE life. Mordecai seems to consider it at first, but ultimately refuses and kills his father. Devastated, Heavy shoots at Mordecai and sets off several explosives planted by him around the CRANE-controlled building. Qrow, Robyn, Dory, Jekiva, Ulrich, The Ace-Ops, Team FNKI, Roxette, Montana, Heavy, and Susan fight Watts, Caldro, Kalahan, and their CRANE team, but Winter stays behind to deal with Mordecai. Meanwhile, the Turolin Fighter Force, as well as Sunny, Bruce, & Haddaway (arriving via portals through the portal area), arrive to deal with CRANE in both Atlas and Ovalo, while Bruce teleports onto Adox & Brandy’s fighter ship to hack into CRANE fighter ships.
 * 4) Across The Universe (March 26 2021)
 * 5) *Qrow, Robyn, Dory, Jekiva, Ulrich, The Ace-Ops, Team FNKI, Roxette, Montana, Heavy, and Susan continue their fight against Watts, Caldro, Kalahan, and their CRANE team. Several CRANE members are killed by the heroes, while Watts is frozen into ice by Ulrich before being vaporized by Dory. However, Caldro activates a CRANE bomb before he, Kalahan, and CRANE escape. Vine sacrifices his life to save them from the bomb, and the other heroes escape onto Adox & Brandy’s fighter ship while Ulrich stays behind to assist Winter in her fight against Mordecai. During the fight in Ovalo, Xyra is killed by a CRANE member while he and Redhead fight CRANE together, causing Redhead to go on a rage and attack CRANE at full force forcing them to retreat. However, this also causes an avalanche, forcing Turolin and its citizens to flee into several Turolin ships led by Turolin Pilots Al and Macy before the city is destroyed by the oncoming avalanche, with Suzie sacrificing herself to save her comrades from being enveloped by the snow. Meanwhile, during Turolin’s fight against Deckard, Penny sacrifices her life by saving Pyrrha from oncoming blasts of Luthor’s mecha, which Ruby and Jaune destroy shortly after with Turolin bombs. Before dying, she transfers the maiden powers to Winter, who uses this to defeat Mordecai before she and Ulrich head through the portal to help Turolin battle against Deckard’s team. However, Deckard overpowers the heroes and grabs the relic of creation. Before he leaves with what’s left of CRANE, he creates, much to Ambrosius’ horror, an Interdimensional Rift that sends people to different universes outside of Remnant.  In the chaos, Neo, Jaune, Pyrrha, Weiss, Blake, Ruby, and several citizens, including several whom already teleported to Vacuo, are sucked into the Rift, while the rest of the heroes manage to escape through the portal to Vacuo, where Winter clears the sandstorm for the survivors just as the rift closes. The remaining heroes, Turolin, and citizens enter a Turolin Pilot ship, but the Rift suddenly explodes, sending everyone flying and causing the ship to crash land / explode onto the deserts.  Back in the ruins of Ovalo, Sunny & Haddaway, along with the Turolin Fighter Force, despite facing casualties, have defeated CRANE as Susan, taking command of Adox’s ship after Adox is shot in the hand by Luthor, makes one final shot through the Acolyte, destroying the weapon and Atlas in the process. As CRANE escapes the city before its destruction, Emperor Yzma tells Tim Luthor to bring Mordecai, who has survived Winter’s attack, to him in order to complete his training. Sunny & Haddaway return to Turolin Pilot Al’s ship, which is headed to Vacuo after hearing about the crash landing. Bruce, Dory, and Jekiva teleport to Turolin Pilot Al’s ship while the rest of the Fighter Force, Qrow’s Group, and Turolin Pilot Macy head back to Jayra. Deckard & his team manage to escape back onto his ship, where Salem waits for them. After being given the Relic Of Creation by Deckard, she leaves Deckard in charge and leaves for the Boiling Isles to deal with the Owl Lady. Elsewhere, Cinder Fall has managed to escape her cell before the destruction of Atlas and, knowing where CRANE will be next, leaves for Vacuo.  Back at Vacuo, Leroy’s Turolin Team and Turolin Pilot Al’s ship arrive at the crash site to tend to the wounded while Wylie & Miles Haddock are dragged out of the wrecked ship by May, Joanna, Fiona, and Dory to be taken care of. Wylie witnesses the aftermath of the crash / explosion before passing out.  In a post-credit scene, Ruby’s scythe washes up on a Garbage Island, where it is picked up and investigated by Janna Ordonia.
