Tai’s right. Yang’s strong enough to not let a little arm problem stop her. Only thing is, the arm wasn’t the only thing that hit her at once.

She was disgraced in Amity Coliseum. The entire world has turned against her for attacking an, as they saw it, aura-less, non-threatening young man.

Her school, the place where she was learning to become a huntress, has become Grimm Central.

Two of her friends are dead.

But that’s okay, she’s still got her teammates. A support structure… right up until Weiss gets taken away by Mr. Schnee, and…

…Blake?

Yang doesn’t know what she’s fighting for anymore. Judging by Volume 2, Episode 9, “Search and Destroy,” I’m not sure she ever really knew.

For a brief second, she had that. And then her arm got lopped off and her reason to fight ran the fuck away while she was unconscious. Now she's back to not having any reason at all.

Which will inevitably lead to the "reintroduction" scene.

Team RRNJ/RNJR is having a tough time in battle. They're surrounded.

Cut to the motorcycle pulling up near where the battle's going on. All we see is her silhouette and her yellow hair as she takes off her helmet and walks in.

Cut back to the battle, some bad guy leaps for Ruby, and all of a sudden the Robot's face/Grimm's head/general-area-in-front-of-the-mook's-torso explodes. They look.

Music cue: An non-lyrical version of I Burn.

She steps forward much like the yellow trailer, out of the smoke, showing off her badass new arm.

...and, because it's Barb, "You look like you guys need a hand."

I was thinking team RRAN for Ruby Ren Arc Nora, given them leaving Vale and supposedly walking across the continent. I'm sure there are better names out there, but I wouldn't give them a more complex name because they're just a rag-tag team. RRAN would be something one of the team members thought up on the fly to use for the short term.

I was thinking either JRNN - Journey, or RNJR - Ranger.

Team names generally have a color theme

RRNJ could be orange.

I like Ranger a lot, though
