Summary
In the courtyard of the Schnee Estate, Ruby and Nora help Penny realize she has a soul within her, that she’s always been more than a machine. Ruby calls Jaune over to empower Penny’s Aura with his Semblance, but he says: “I can’t just boost her Aura forever”
The eventual conclusion of this is to take Penny to the Vault where the Relic is stored, and then wish upon Ambrosius to “make a new version of her, using her exact same robot parts.”
But what if things went a different way?
Willpower is quite possibly the strongest thing at Humanity and Faunus-kind’s (peoples/persons) disposal—the tool that allowed them to survive and in some ways thrive in the presence of relentless Grimm attacks and total domination of the world by the creatures of Darkness.
Penny has Aura. Penny has a soul. Penny is a person. Penny has willpower.
It’s thanks to Jaune she realizes this, and thanks to Ruby and Nora that she realizes she’s been a person since she was first created. Penny doesn’t need to be ‘human’ to be “real”, nor be ‘real’ to be “human”. She just is, as she always has been. The miracle of Pietro’s work.

Summary
When Jaune Arc falls into the void, he thinks of his failure, his JNPR team, or what's left of them, and when the thought was about to die, he ends up in a strange place where dust doesn't exist and the gods are roaming the earth. Wait, is that a tree with a clock for fruit?
Jaune doesn't know what the hell he is, but he hopes he can return to his world, so he can stop Salem. All he has to do is wait for the RWBY team to arrive in the strange world.

Summary
The fight with Cinder Fall in the Central Location goes another way. A Maiden falls into a fairytale and in her grief chooses to be something else. But as the saying goes "the heart never forgets." The Tarnished Maiden will remember she once had friends. She will remember she was once a protector and a guide.

Summary
Who would have guessed that optimism could turn you into an enemy of the state? But this is exactly the situation team RWBY finds themselves in. General Ironwood plans to split the twin cities, Atlas and Mantle, abandoning the latter, to avoid a confrontation with Salem’s imminent Grimm invasion. The young huntresses believe they should stand their ground to defend both. Divided over this contention, the heroes face great difficulties to cope with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Is Salem going to attain the Relics and crush humanity’s last hope or will the Kingdom of Atlas prevail?
Ciel Soleil, a specialist of the Atlesian Military, present at the right place at the worst time, is shoved into the ensuing chaos, uncertain whether she — or her sanity — will survive this ordeal.
Team RWBY and their companions should hope they chose wisely, because the conclusion of this campaign is going to decide the fate of humanity.
This is an alternative timeline for the second half of the Atlas arc, where the heroes make different decisions from canon, leading to different outcomes. The story will have a bigger focus on Weiss’ struggles, while Ciel Soleil, Penny’s teammate from volume 3, gains a big role.

Summary
There’s a story Ruby really liked, before she started having a lot more on her plate than a fairytale girlfriend. A story about a princess looking upon a woman of no station in a crowd, and finding herself whisked into that woman’s body. And, in turn, the woman took hers, until they laid eyes on one another once again, blushing and gleeful on the parapets of the castle.
For a long time, Ruby thought her soulmate would come along as sweet and sure as a fairytale— A true love, with a Happily Ever After to fit.
Then, staring up at Salem as defiant as a dandelion breaking through the sidewalk, eyes flickering like a crystal turning the light, something… Shifts. -

Summary
Emerald's Semblance is all about lying, deceit. It's what allowed her to live on the streets for so long, lying and stealing to survive. Keeping her head down. People are not kind, and they are certainly not giving. Nothing is free, everything has a cost. If they can, they will take everything from you without a hint of remorse. She should know. She's a thief through and through.
That's probably why Jaune Arc baffles her so much. He gives his soul away every time he uses his Semblance. Giving it freely, healing and bolstering without a thought of what it might cost him. Even to someone he sees as his enemy. She doesn't understand it. People aren't like that. The world isn't so kind. Especially not to her.
Why then, when he and team RWBY return from the dead, is she so surprised and disturbed that it seems like his selfless giving finally took too much from him?

Summary
“You get to be the hero in their story, and I get to be the villain in yours,” She chuckles once more, and it’s grating. “That’s what they tell you, right?”
Ruby stiffens, just a little bit, but enough to be seen as an answer. Cinder nods mutely, turning back toward the edge of the rooftop.
“A kid sent to do the dirty work of hundreds who couldn’t,” Cinder clicks her tongue. “So many years, so many lives, so many heroes. They look to you for answers you don’t have–and why would you? You’re barely grown, and you still have so much more to learn. Is it desperation? Fatigue? Do they run from it so you can blunt the blow? Why do they put it all on you?”
Her hand comes up again, the one that’s battered and bruised, but still so clearly human. Her fingers play with the edge of her hood, caressing the material like one would a lover. There’s a moment, just one, where Ruby thinks surely not, and then–
“Is it because of Mother?”
The hood is pulled back, hair let free, and a pale face caught beneath the moonlight above, and the light of the city below.
It’s like staring into a mirror.

Summary
That one scene where the ship goes down and Tyrian kills Clover, except more dialogue is exchanged during the fight and we get to see more of a clash between Clover and Qrow’s ideologies, better setting up Qrow’s arc in volume 8 and extended said arc to be more clear, and cementing what he’s supposed to have learned from Clover.
“I see the goodness in you, Qrow.” Clover insists, lowering his weapon. “Whether you want it or not.” Qrow could cry. “Ironwood doesn’t do things for no reason, and I believe he’s a good person. I have to believe that. I have to believe that if we go back and talk to him, we can understand why he’s doing this and get you out of it. I trust James with my life… and I wanted to trust you.”
Clover’s luck had to run out eventually, it always does.

"But," Jaune gasped, "Grimm aren't that smart."
