Ahem! (taking his Rod Serling voice)

Imagine if you will,

The head of one of the biggest company in remnant seeing his profit dwindle because the grimm are being contained by the hunters and huntresses. He might even be a manufacturer of droids and mechs but he doesn't have too.

He hatches a plan to drive the price up but he needs someone to carry out the dastardly deed. Enter an intelligent woman with a chip on her shoulder, she wants revenge but is only small time because she lacks the vision and financing to do serious damage.

This man recruits her and gives her purpose and before long, prices go up... way up! everything is right with the world again until everyhing comes crashing back down.

NOT because of RWBY and their friends but because a real threat appears: the grimms are back.
