Plot

Part One

Clark Kent awakens in the forest near Beacon academy on Remnant, where Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long are fighting against a pack of Grimm. On Remnant, Superman has gained a semblance that only works in sun light. The two sisters notice that the Grimm can absorb dust and fire lasers which is unusual. In Menagerie, Blake Belladonna meets Diana Prince while Weiss Schnee meets Bruce Wayne in Atlas. Inside Beacon Academy, Ruby, Yang and Clark unite with Blake and Diana and later find members of Team JNPR Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren and Mari McCabe, Victor Stone, Barry Allen and Jessica Cruz from the Justice league. The Justice league, whom all have become teenagers put what they remember together and deduce that they were fighting something mechanical while teams RWBY and JNPR deduce that events such as the fall of Beacon apparently have not happened, making them suspicious if this is the real Remnant.

Blake, Yang and Diana set out to find Bruce and Weiss who ultimately come to the conclusion that this is a Simulation of Remnant, Jaune remains with Jessica to help her find her ring while the others set out to find the cause of their current predicament. The third team comes into conflict with the Grimm, with a Wyvern amongst them and a fatal blow only causes a leviathan to appear beside it. Jessica and Jaune are suddenly trapped in a white space with a Seer Grimm which is unlike many other things was real and after getting out are lured into another trap by a simulated Pyrrha Nikos.

Blake, Yang and Diana along with Bruce and Weiss join Ruby, Clark, Nora, Ren, Mari, Victor and Barry with Bruce revealing that Barry is possessed by Kilg%re, who reveals that he turned the Justice League into teenagers and then trapped them and Teams RWBY and JNPR in this Simulation with the collaboration of someone from Remnant and Bruce learns from a conscious Barry that Kilg%re's collaborators have trapped him as well. With Jaune's encouragement, Jessica frees the two of them from the trap and join the heroes and together they exorcise Kilg%re from Barry, the latter giving Mari's necklace and Jessica's ring back to them. Kilg%re then possesses the Wyvern but is ultimately defeated. The Justice League and Remnant's heroes bid farewell to each other and return to their respective worlds, with teams RWBY and JNPR awakening in Atlas from what was supposed to be a training Simulation.
