"Confessions Within Cumulonimbus Clouds" is the sixth episode of Volume 9 and the 112th episode of RWBY. It premiered on Crunchyroll on March 25th, 2023.
Summary[]
The episode opens up with Jaune Arc falling through the void under the Evacuation Central Location. He is scared by the fact that he is falling, but as soon as he sees Crescent Rose falling nearby, he launches himself towards it. The scene cuts to Jaune climbing to shore in the Jungle Acre, curious where he is at. He slashes some vines and arrives at a tree with a ticking clock. He plucks the stopwatch from the tree, and time starts to travel backwards. Jaune panics, and he tries to figure out how to stop the clock, and eventually manages to destroy the clock with Crocea Mors.
Jaune explains how he thought that he would forever be separated from Team RWBY. Some time later, he looks up to see two blue beams of light falling from the sky. Jaune is suspicious and asks Team RWBY if they are real, while they reassure him and hug him. Team RWBY asks many questions, and asks about what happened during the fall of Atlas. He explains what happened off screen.
The group exits the Garden into the Field Acre. The team discusses what Jaune previously explained, while Jaune stresses that they need to get to shelter before the weather gets worse. The team asks Jaune where they are going, and he explains that they're travelling to his village. He is also surprised that the team escaped from the Crimson Castle, and thinks that they escaped by themselves. Blake explains that they did actually help, and shows concern for the safety of the Curious Cat, which upsets Jaune. The group exchange looks with each other before the Curious Cat emerges. The cat is greets Jaune and tries to reconcile with him.
This angers Jaune and he tries to threaten the cat with his weapon. Jaune wants to quickly go to his village, and he also asks the cat to not guide the group. He explains that the team wanted to go to the massive tree, and Jaune is shocked by this. He explains how the tree is where ascension happens. Jaune also explains how the tree changes you into something else entirely; this change happens a changed purpose. The team connects the dots, and realizes how the tree took the Herbalist. The cat thinks that the tree won't affect Humans in the same way that it does with Afterans. Jaune is then curious what happened to Alyx's brother; Lewis. The Curious Cat explains that he didn't mention him to the group, due to the fact that they were more focused on Alyx.
Jaune decides that it's time to leave and thinks of a plan. The cat insults Jaune by saying that his plans aren't helpful, but Ruby decides that she needs time to think. The cat says that the group is stuck at a 'Crossroads', and they are transported to an area of pathways. Jaune explains that they are in a "Punderstorm", and that it makes an issue literally physical. Weiss claims that she's in the 'pit', before she falls into an actual pit. Jaune explains that the ways to escape a Punderstorm are to either solve the issue at hand, or wait for the storm to leave. Ruby questions where Blake and Yang are at. Jaune explains that they have another issue to solve.
Yang and Blake wake up on two separate bridges in the Punderstorm. They decide to travel to the center platform, and figure out how to get to it. The scene changes back into Ruby, Weiss, and Jaune all walking along a path. They try to figure how the story was made with some real/fake elements. Jaune summarizes what happened. He explains how Alyx and Lewis fell before Team RWBY. He explains how he helped them, and figured out his role as the "Rusted Knight". Jaune also explains how Alyx and Lewis were polar opposites. He described Alyx as 'selfish and cruel', while Lewis was described to be 'kind and clever'. He explained how something had happened at the Herbalist's domain, and that Alyx no longer trusted the two. Alyx poisoned a soup, and gave it to Jaune.
Ruby is curious why Jaune no longer trusts the Curious Cat. He explains that his role is to change the role of Afterans. Jaune also explains how while both Lewis and Alyx made it to the tree; only Alyx escaped back to Remnant. The scene transitions back to Yang and Blake on the bridges. Blake and Yang figure out that complimenting each other creates more platforms to cross. They continue complimenting each other, and even more platforms appear. The sun starts appearing and they are taken back. They confess that they’re in love with each other, and they share a passionate kiss on the central platform.
The scene switches back to the crossroads, and the Curious Cat finds the group. The group is mad at the cat, and asks why they've been hiding the truth from them. The cat confesses to the group that he only takes Afterans to ascend, and that he just wants information from Humans. They figure out the Cat lied about not knowing about the story, and the Cat says that Jaune remembers it wrong. Ruby asks what happened when Alyx and her brother went to the tree. The cat doesn't have an answer, since he doesn't even know. The cat also tells the group about how Alyx planned to take the cat with her, but betrayed their trust. The Curious Cat decides to leave and wanted the group to stop talking to him. The Punderstorm then ends.
Everyone is found at the field, and Yang and Blake are shown to be kissing. This shocks the entire group, and Yang asks if anything happened while they were seperated. The group ignores Yang's question, and is happy that the moment finally happened. The group arrives at a house in Jaune's village. Jaune decides to gift Crescent Rose to Ruby. Ruby stares at the weapon as Jaune's voice fades out, and a black void starts to consume the area. This is interrupted by Jaune calling Ruby's name. Ruby thanks Jaune, and asks what happened to Lewis. Ruby then decides to closes the box with Crescent Rose.
Transcript[]
There are sounds of fighting and screaming off-screen.
Jaune: (off-screen) Penny! J-Just Hold on!
Eyes open in Jaune’s point of view of him falling while being surrounded by floating red balls. Jaune panicks as he sways his arms. He shuts his eyes. He opens them again, only to see a burning up Crescent Rose falling a few meters away. He pulls his arms in and propels himself towards Crescent Rose.
Somehow, Jaune landed in the Ever After, and can be seen pulling himself forward on the ground, with his Crocea Mors behind him. He eventually runs out of stamina and collapses on the sand before pulling himself up and letting out a cough.
Jaune: Where… am I?
The camera pans out to what looks like a jungle. Moments later, Jaune can be heard slashing away at what can only be assumed are leaves and branches. He then takes a little break and leans on Crocea Mors beside a rock. He looks up to see a little pocket watch on a tree, ticking away. Jaune walks towards the ticking watch and inspects it, pulling it off where it was held in place. The pocket watch suddenly stops and turns counter-clockwise as the sun suddenly disappears.
Jaune: Hey… No, uh… Wait… Wait, wait! Stop it! Please stop!
As time in the Ever After continues to reverse backwards, Jaune struggles to stop the fruit-like stopwatch as he shakes it before throwing it to the ground. He destroys it with the sheath of Crocea Mors. Time in the Jungle Acre suddenly stops. Jaune pants and looks around before looking down at the pocket watch, now broken with a pair of crooked hands and glass cracks.
Jaune is then seen sitting on a rock overlooking the ocean, suddenly, the sun goes down with a flash and he saddenly brings his hands to his face.
Jaune: (to Team RWBY) I thought I’d never see you again…
Time seems to have continued as Jaune's armor rusts and his physical appearance looks older.
Jaune: But I knew if I waited long enough, then you would fall…
Jaune stands up and brings his hand up to the sky as he sees what can only be described as two falling stars.
Jaune: Just like I did.
Back in the Garden's Acre...
Jaune: It… It’s really you, right? When I saw you in the market…
Jaune hesitantly pauses and looks down. Team RWBY look at each other before looking at Jaune.
Ruby: Jaune. It’s us.
Team RWBY warmly hugs Jaune. Little, who appears on top of Jaune’s head, also hugs him. Jaune smiles with tears of joy.
Ruby: How did you find us?
Blake: How are you the Rusted Knight?
Yang: And when did you get so…
Weiss: (grinning with her hand on her chin) Mature?
Ruby, Blake, and Yang all stare at Weiss; Ruby raises her brow while Blake and Yang smile wryly at Weiss.
Weiss: Uh… (blushes and collects herself)
Ruby: What happened in Atlas... after the rest of us fell?
Jaune: (sighs) I, uh… Guess we've all got a lot of catching to do…
Later, Team RWBY, Jaune and Juniper have already left the Garden's Acre and arrive in a flower field.
Ruby: She's... got two Relics now?
Yang: And with Cinder, the ability to get another.
Blake: She doesn't know where the Beacon Relic is!
Weiss: Well there's that to be thankful for at least.
Jaune sighs. Ruby sits on a small rock
Ruby: We lost Atlas and the relic...
Blake: (assuringly) But we got everyone out safely. Jaune said so.
Weiss places her hand on Blake's shoulder.
Weiss: We've risked their home to save the Relic... And we failed.
Blake: Getting everyone out has to count for something.
Ruby: (angrily) What good is saving anybody if Salem just destroys the world anyway...
Yang places her arms on her sister's shoulder and leans in.
Yang: That's how Ironwood thought... you don't mean that.
Ruby looks down.
Jaune: You done?!
Jaune waves his arm and Juniper prances behind him and stops.
Jaune: We need to move before the weather turns, or it's gonna take us a lot longer to get to safety.
Team RWBY is silent and Jaune takes a deep breath, exhaling.
Jaune: There'll be plenty of time to lick your wounds later. Come on.
Jaune, Juniper, and Team RWBY are seen walking in a large field of grass.
Yang: So… Where’re we going again?
Jaune: My village. Heh. I still can’t believe you made it all the way from the Crimson Keep on your own.
Blake: Not on our own. We had help. The… Oh. (notices the Curious Cat isn’t with them now) I hope the Cat is okay.
Jaune stops as the sound of thunder is heard.
Jaune: (grimacing) What Cat?
Blake and Yang turn to each other, confused.
Little: (jumps and points in their direction) That Cat!
The Curious Cat is running towards the group through the grass, their bottom half picking up the rear before reuniting with the top half, causing them to tumble.
Curious Cat: Oh! Woo! I found you. (catches their breath for a moment) Why is it you always find the thing you're looking for in the very last place you look, hah!
The Cat notices Jaune with Team RWBY.
Curious Cat: Jaune! Oho-my! It has been an indeterminant amount of time hasn't it? (beat) So, how've you been?
Weiss: Wait. You two know each other?
Ruby: Well, they'd have to. From the story.
Jaune angrily unsheathes his broken rusted Crocea Mors sword. Blake and Yang stop him.
Yang: Whoa, Jaune!
Blake: I think there’s a misunderstanding. The Cat can get us all out of here.
The thunder returns, louder.
Jaune: We don’t have time for this! We've got to get to my village! Don’t worry, we don’t need a guide.
Curious Cat: But your friends wanted to go to the tree.
Jaune: (to Blake) That’s where you’re letting them take you?
Blake: Well, yeah. That’s... that's how... Alyx got out. Right?
Jaune: (to the Cat) You didn’t tell them anything.
Curious Cat: No, that’s simply not true. I told them plenty of things. A few any things and lots of somethings.
Weiss: Can somebody please make sense?!
Jaune: That tree is death.
Ruby and Weiss turn to Jaune.
Jaune: It absorbs you, takes your memories, and turns you into something else. If you go there, it’s going to erase you! They call it “Ascension” here. That’s really what it is.
Ruby: Wait. The tree is what causes the Ascension?
Blake: That’s what got the Herbalist. The roots of the tree.
Yang: (glares at the Cat) Pretty curious that you neglected to mention that...
Curious Cat: (chuckles) Excellent pun-manship. But, you are not from here. It won't do that to you guys!
Jaune: Oh yeah? Then what happened to Lewis?
Ruby: (to Jaune) Who?
Jaune: Alyx’s brother.
Team RWBY looks at the Cat in disbelief over the shocking revelation.
Blake: That… That can’t be right.
Yang: She had a brother? Why didn’t you mention him?
Curious Cat: Well, you never asked, silly. It was always “Alyx this” and “Alyx that”.
Weiss: We’ve been following the story the whole time, and it’s not even true?
The thunder returns the third time, louder than the previous as the wind begins to pick up.
Jaune: Let’s go. I've got a plan.
Curious Cat: (scoffs) A lot of good that's done after... what? How many years?
Ruby: Can everyone please stop! This is a lot to take in…
Curious Cat: Huh. Looks like we’re stuck at a crossroads then…
Jaune: No!!!
There's a sudden flash of light and everything goes black.
Jaune: (sighs) Damnit.
The scene returns to what appears like a rollercoaster of connecting stone pathways, all featuring blue arched doors at the end.
Jaune: Welcome to a Punderstorm. A uh... weather pattern that creates a physical manifestation of a mental, or emotional problem. So we appear to be at metaphorical and literal crossroads.
Weiss: How perfectly stupidly Ever Afteran. (sighs) This place really is the pits.
A hole suddenly appears below Weiss and she falls, screaming. The hole quickly closes.
Jaune: The only way out is to solve the problem... (looks upward, holding his hand up) Or wait until the storm passes. Let's just get moving...
Jaune lowers both his hand, and his head, hanging it down. Weiss can still be heard screaming and eventually lands on her back, startling Ruby.
Weiss: Okay. I asked for that.
Ruby: Where’s Yang? And Blake?
Jaune: Must've had something bigger to work out.
Another sudden flash of light appears, transitioning to Yang who seems to be in the middle of another part of the storm. The clap of thunder and wind awakes her as she realizes she's on a swaying bridge.
Yang: Huh?!
Yang struggles to understand what exactly is happening as she can't stay still on the swaying bridge. She looks forward, only to see Blake on the other end.
Yang: Blake!!
Blake and Yang are on each of the bridges swaying, equal distance from a circular platform in the middle.
Blake: Yang!!
Yang: What do we do!?
Blake struggles to stay afoot on her end of the bridge.
Blake: We need to get to that platform!
Yang: (looking down) But how do we take the next step...
The scene spirals, zooming in on the abyss below Yang...
Back to Jaune, Juniper, Ruby, and Weiss, they stop at a crossing sign, displaying a drawing of a Human on the left side, and a drawing of a claw on the right.
Jaune: Y’know this would go quicker if you make up your minds…
Ruby and Weiss chuckles sheepishly; Ruby gives a sweatdrop while Weiss blushes and looks away.
Ruby: I just don’t get how the story is both real... and not.
They continue walking and seem to pass through one of the doors. Ruby's back is turned but a faint reflection of an apparently young Summer Rose can be seen.
Jaune: It all happened. (stops and stares at the watery reflection of Penny smiling before continuing walking) Just not the way Alyx said when she wrote it.
Ruby stops and sees Weiss in front of the watery reflection of the destruction of both Atlas and Mantle. Weiss walks away, with a guilty look on her face.
Weiss: (to Jaune) So what? She just lied?
Jaune: You have... no idea…
He passes another watery reflection as the camera stops and slowly zooms in, beginning a flashback.
Jaune: I waited for you to fall. For years, but... somebody else showed up first.
The scene shows Alyx and Lewis, backs facing each other.
Jaune: It was Alyx and her brother, Lewis, two siblings from Remnant. I told them I was from there too. I was waiting for my friends.
The scene shows them in the Garden Acre where Team RWBY found the Herbalist. Jaune with his hand raised, Alyx behind him, looking around.
Jaune: Once I started helping them, it didn’t take long for me to figure out I was in her story. I... was the Rusted Knight. But things weren’t always the same as the book.
The scene shows Alyx staring forward.
Jaune: Like Alyx... she wasn’t just a little petulant or inconsiderate.
Alyx shows a smirk.
Jaune: She was selfish... cruel. Like this whole word was simply make-believe and the rules didn’t apply to her.
The scene switches to a worried Lewis, before facing forward.
Jaune: Lewis was the kind one, the clever one.
The scene shows Alyx and Herbalist laughing, Lewis upset, with the Curious Cat laying beside him.
Jaune: We went places she didn’t mention in the story. Like the Herbalist. Something changed there.
Alyx is staring down.
Jaune: Whatever he said to her, she wasn’t the same after that.
The scene changes to Alyx looking behind her, almost paranoid, Jaune and Lewis behind her, Jaune raising his hand in hopes of stopping Alyx.
Jaune: She lost all trust in us, started accusing us of things. The more I tried to get the story back on track, the more she distrusted me…
Jaune is seen sitting at a campfire with his hands on his head, very confused and paranoid.
Jaune: Was it my fault? Did I change the story? I couldn’t even be the make-believe hero. I didn’t have time to make it right.
Alyx drips a poison into a cup and then hands it to Jaune. He accepts it with a smile on his face. Jaune drinks.
Jaune: The Rusted Knight drank the poison in her stead.
He collapses, with an angry Alyx staring down at him.
Jaune: She said she wouldn’t let anyone get in the way of her leaving. That she’d do whatever it takes. And then she was gone.
The flashback ends, the scene returns to them back on the path, Jaune staring out, Ruby and Weiss staring at him.
Jaune: So… not exactly my favorite story anymore.
Weiss: I’m so sorry.
Ruby: Wait. Why don’t you trust the Cat then?
Jaune stares at his past self in the water reflection before giving a sigh.
Jaune: The Cat’s role in the Ever After. I figured it out later, but the Cat came back for me once Alyx left. (turns to Ruby and Weiss) When people lose their way here, the Cat... convinces them... somehow. Either to keep performing their role, or... to go to the tree, get a new one. The Cat calls it “healing”, but… it’s manipulation. The Cat was never helping Alyx or you. Their purpose here is to feed the tree, to keep the cycle going.
Ruby: How can you be sure?
Jaune: Because the Cat took Alyx and Lewis there. Only one of them made it back to our world.
Jaune turns around and continues on, looking down. Weiss stares at Ruby.
The scene returns to Blake and Yang, still on the swaying bridge. The wind is howling, Blake struggling to keep her grip.
Yang: You alright?
Blake: (struggling) I'll feel a lot better, when we're together? On that platform.
Blake looks down as another step of her bridge appears as if indicating something. Blake then takes the step forward and stares across at Yang, who looks down at her side.
Yang: Uh... (tilting her head) Is it a password or something? Together!
It doesn't work.
Yang: Platform!
That doesn't work either.
Blake: No luck?
Yang shakes her head.
Yang: (looking back at Blake) I'm sure you'll figure it out though. (tilting her head, almost smiling) You're good at that.
Blake: (looking up) You think so?
Yang: Well... yeah! You've got a really good... brain.
Yang chuckles as a piece of her platform appears.
Yang: Okay, that did something! (steps forward) Uh... I talked about you! So... (clears throat) You have cat ears!
One of Blake's ears flap and she smiles, but it doesn't seem to work as Yang looks downward. She then looks back up across at her teammate.
Yang: I think your cat ears are cute.
Another piece of Yang's bridge appears and she happily jumps to it.
Yang: Nailed it! Even though I don't know what... "it" is yet...
Blake: (looks down on the bridge steps) Maybe it's... saying things we never said. (looks back at Yang) To each other.
Yang shrugs and motions towards Blake to have her turn.
Blake: (looks shyly to her left) I... think, you're an extraordinary person.
Yang smiles, then her face changes as Blake continues.
Blake: You're... always the first to lighten a situation. You act bravely, when you're afraid. You do what you say.
Four steps on Blake's side of the bridge appear and she walks forward to the end where they stop and she looks up at Yang.
Blake: (chuckles) Try to keep up! (smiles)
Yang: (smiles then stares down) I like that you've never been intimidated by me. (looks back up) Even when you didn't like me all that much.
Blake: I was a little wary of people in general. (She looks back at Yang, then downward.)
Yang: But you never gave up on them.
Blake turns her head back towards her.
Yang: Even when they hurt you. You never give up. You know what matters to you.
Three steps appear on Yang's side and she walks towards the edge.
Yang: Let’s make things quicker. Any big truths we haven’t dropped each other yet?
Blake smiles at Yang and blushes as the clouds begin to move away. The sunshine appears. Yang stares at Blake before she flusters and looks away. Suddenly, the bridge enhances the length, forcing both of their sides further back, completely ruining any ground they made.
Blake: Did you... just think of something, but didn’t say it?
Yang is visibly flustered and motions her hand to brush her hair away, looking left and right, then back at Blake.
Yang: This can’t be what this is about...
Yang: (in thought) It's like a cliff. And if I do it, I'm just going to fall.
Blake: (in thought) I think we're already falling. (turns to Yang) Just, say it, Yang.
Yang takes a deep breath.
Yang: I think I love you.
Blake: I love you, too.
Yang and Blake stare at each other, surprised. They are now both on the grassy platform. Three lines of vines appear and wrap around the platform, pink flowers blooming out of them. Blake and Yang both blush and smile at each other. They embrace each other and finally kiss as flowers bloom in the grass below. The camera rising upward to the sunny sky.
The scene returns to Jaune, Juniper, Ruby, and Weiss continuing their treck along the path. The Curious Cat is seen walking upside down, eventually noticing the group.
Curious Cat: (gasps) Oh how odd. (dropping down) This time you were in the first place I looked, rather than the last!
Ruby and Weiss angrily step towards the cat.
Ruby: Jaune told us.
Curious Cat: (scoffs) Oh, I thought there was more to the story. (shrugs) You're accusing me of something. Same page now.
Ruby: You’re the one who gives Afterans to the tree. Why haven’t you been telling the truth?
Curious Cat: When Afterans get all higgledy-piggledy, I help them return to the Ever After, yes... but you're, not, Afterans! I'm not taking you there to ascend! I'm taking you there because you all have such delightful information for me!
Weiss: You pretended like you'd never heard of the story when you met us. But Jaune had already told you.
Curious Cat: I think ol' Jaune's... maybe a few sand berries short of a picnic these days... Wouldn't you say?
Jaune growls at Cat with his reflection of his past self on the water mirror.
Ruby: What happened when you took Alyx and Lewis to the tree?
Curious Cat: I… I don’t know. She had told me she’d take me with her through the door to Remnant, but… she tricked me. Just… Just like all of you.
Weiss looks down.
Curious Cat: You only want to use me, in the same way I've only seen others as sources for knowledge and entertainment.
The Cat turns around, Jaune staring down at the cat while Ruby and Weiss become upset.
Curious Cat: Well... at least now I know what not, to do.
The Cat walks away from Ruby, Weiss, Jaune and Juniper.
Ruby: We… We just want to get home.
Curious Cat: Thank you for this lesson, Ruby. Rose. Huntress. I’ll be on my way now. Stay with your friend.
As the Cat disappears, the watery mirrors turn into ice and shatter in pieces.
Ruby, Weiss, Jaune and Juniper find themselves back in the flower fields. Ruby, completely clueless as to what Weiss and Jaune are staring at, realizing what's happening with a little peep. Blake and Yang are still kissing, Blake holding her leg up. Little is the last to notice and breaks the tension with a gasp.
Yang: (still with her arms around Blake) Did we miss anything?
Jaune: Feels like I’ve been waiting forever for that. (lets out a small chuckle and turns around and waves at Juniper) C’mon.
Night came after Team RWBY and Jaune arrive at his village. Juniper is sleeping outside of Jaune’s hut. Yang and Blake are seen sitting next to each other in front of the fireplace, Ruby is sitting at a table, arms crossed, and Weiss is getting ready to take a sip of tea, blowing on it first. Ruby notices that Yang's hand is on top of Blake's.
Jaune appears out from his room, holding a chest.
Jaune: Hey, there's... something I've been holding onto for you.
Jaune sets the chest down on the table in front of Ruby as she sits up straight.
Jaune: It was the first thing I saw. (opens the chest) When I was falling.
Ruby's eyes widen, seeing the folded form of Crescent Rose inside the chest.
Jaune: Years later, when I finally found it, I knew I'd caught back up to the t...
Jaune becomes inaudible as Ruby zones out, closely staring at her weapon.
Jaune: Ruby?
Ruby snaps out of her daze and looks up at Jaune before turning to her teammates.
Yang: Hey!
Yang smiles and holds up her prosthetic arm, Blake claps and Weiss smiles.
Ruby: I… (sighs) Thank you, Jaune.
Jaune: Don’t mention it.
Jaune walks back where he came from but stops as Ruby asks him a question.
Ruby: Jaune. What did happen to Lewis?
Jaune looks down with a sigh and he turns to Ruby.
Jaune: I think... Alyx traded him to the tree, in order to leave. And then she wrote him out of the story. Good night, everyone.
Jaune leaves as he heads inside his room. Ruby stares down at Crescent Rose in the chest, gives a sullen look and shuts the chest containing her weapon.
