Following the events of Volume 8, the gang falls deep into the abyss. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang... Yet what they find is not a land of fairytale, by a world so much like theirs... This is a retelling of Arknights' Reunion arc, but with the main cast of RWBY and primarily replaces the entirety of Volume 9. Note that this story will be written under the assumption that the reader has watched RWBY until volume 8, but has not played Arknights and has zero knowledge of the world of Arknights.
