Teams RWBY and JNPR continue fight in the war against Salem on Remnant, along with their friends from Earth. But the war will soon find its way to Earth and chaos will soon follow.
It is now morning and Blake, Yang, Allen, Rebecca, and Steel all disembark along with other passengers. The travelers all looked at the town as they walked. The town has many small buildings and homes set among dunes and palm trees. Several Faunus in summer wear meander casually at the dock, some waiting for friends or family among the new arrivals. The dock is also a commercial area, with mobile kiosks selling food and other wares. It is a relaxed atmosphere on a sunny day. They all start to proceed through the market together.
"So this is Menagerie? Seems pretty nice here. Crowded, but nice," Steel said.
"Menagerie is pretty much Australia and Hawaii put together," Allen said.
The group paused in their walk to look at the view of the town the road affords. The road they are on goes downhill and to the side, bordered by palm trees and homes that have either canvas or wood roofs. The vista of palm trees spreads out to the edge of mountainous dunes in the distance. Right in the middle of all this is a large house with an open courtyard that the road appears to lead directly to. The house is at least three stories and is the only building in the whole area with a sophisticated roof.
"Well, let's get going," Yang said.
A few minutes later, they all make it to the Belladonna household. They walk up the stone steps to the front door of the house. Blake hesitates when she moves to use the knocker. Yang puts her hand on Blakes shoulder.
"We are all here for you," Yang said.
Blake takes a quick breath for courage and bangs the door knocker. It makes a loud, heavy, resonating sound on the large door. The door opens to reveal a female cat Faunus with black hair and yellow eyes, she shares several physical features with Blake, although her ears are noticeably larger in size and have more fur details. She has short hair and three gold piercings on her cat ears - two on her right, and one on her left. She wears a black hakama and sandals with white tabi socks. Over her outfit, she wears a black shrug with a long right sleeve and a short left sleeve, gold-leaf trim adorning the opening on the front. She wears long, black arm warmers that extend to the middle finger. The left warmer has a purple band tied around the top and a pair of gold bangles around the wrist. Around her waist is a black and gold sash that trails behind her, with a gold flower-shaped buckle at the end. This is Blake's mother, Kali Belladonna.

She looks at Blake in shock and disbelief.
"Blake?" Kali asked.
"Hi, mom," Blake greeted with a nervous wave.
Kali steps forward and hugs her daughter.
"My baby girl," Kali said.
Blake hesitates, uncertain for a moment, before her face gentles into a smile and she hugs her mother back.
