The opening ends to Joan Arc getting pushed to the ground of Forever Fall right after the events of the "Forever Fall", groaning as he looks up and sees a sap-covered Cardin looming over her. The bigger warrior picks Joan up by her front and grins while punching her back to the ground.

Cardin: You know that wasn't very smart, Joany girl. (picks up a bruised Joan again while the rest of Team CRDL watches) I'm gonna make sure they send you back to mommy in teeny tiny pieces.

Joan: (head hanging back) I don't care what you do to me... (looks at Cardin with fury) ... but you are not messing with my team.

Cardin: (looking momentarily shocked) What? You think talk like that makes you tough? You think you're a big strong girl now?

Joan smiles in defiance. An enraged Cardin roars and raises his fist again, but just as the hit connects, a bright light shines from Joan, and when the white fades from the screen, Cardin is crying out in pain as he holds his hand. Joan, now back on the ground but completely healed, looks confusedly at her hands as they faintly glow white. While she stares, though, Sky Lark kicks Joan in the back and gets her on her stomach, but she looks up and glares at the approaching Cardin.

Cardin: Let's see how much of a girl you really are...

Just as he says this, a low growl is heard, and a surprised Team CRDL turns around and sees a large paw crash onto the scene, belonging to a huge Ursa Major with dozens of jagged spikes sticking out from its wide back. It leaps forward and stands over the terrified students, lifting its head in the air to smell the sap on Cardin's breastplate. It lands back on its forelegs and roars at Cardin while his teammates heroically flee.

Russel: That's a big Ursa!

Cardin is rooted to the spot when the Grimm swings its claws and knocks him sideways, revealing Joan cowering behind him. The Ursa continues to sniff, uninterested in Joan and following its nose to Cardin. She watches as it towers over Cardin, who gets his wits and pulls out The Executioner only for the monster to swipe it away to Joan's feet. He looks conflicted, wondering whether to fight or run away.

Meanwhile, the roar of the giant Ursa is heard by the members of Teams RWBY, SCAB, and JNPR, still collecting sap on the other side of the forest.

Ruby: (getting up, concerned) Did you guys hear that?

Silver: it's an Ursa.

Adora: that was quick.

Silver: when you've dealt with Grimm, as much as I have, you start to memorize what noises they make.

Suddenly, the remaining members of Team CRDL are seen running the other way from the roar through the other students.

Russel: (looking back) Ursa! Ursa! (he runs into Yang accidentally)

Yang: What?! (completely unfazed by his collision, she picks him up by the front of his shirt) Where?

Russel: (struggling and still running in air, but points back from where they came) Back there! It's got Cardin!

Catra: good at that bastard die.

Pyrrha: (dropping her jar of sap) Jaune!

Silver: Shit! (runs towards Joan's location) Adora, Catra, 2B, go get Glynda!

2B: right away leader!

Ruby: (going into leader mode) Yang! You and Blake, go help them! (dropping Russel, Yang and Blake nod before following the orders)

Pyrrha: (to Lie Rin and Nora Valkyrie as she and Ruby activate their weapons) You two, go with them! There could be more!
