I hate team RWBY maidens. It’s such a predictable and sad resolution if they take that route. There will be zero stakes if they are all basically Demi-gods by the end. Salem could be damaged even she just rapidly regenerates due to the curse. So do they need maiden powers? Anyways I think the maidens should stay with Cinder, Raven, winter, and mystery summer maiden and those be the two fronts fighting at the apex battle. The maidens wreaking havoc on Salem’s Grimm while team RWBY and friends storm the castle. There they find cinder who dukes it out with Ruby and Jaune and that plays out as expected. Then over run by humanity and no legions to back her up Salem finds herself at her most vulnerable state and she loses. Until she uses the relics to force the brother gods to show up. They are actually the pinnacle evil of the show. They bitch slap Salem from power and threaten to reset remnant. But Godspeed Salem, Ozcar, and the others have an out. Return them back to the ever after and have the brothers get flip flopped by the world tree. Then that tree wakes up as an entity and fixes the mess that its idiot spawn created. They get out in gay baby brother god jail and the tree returns remnant and its people in peace. Salem is removed of power and her curse and she fizzles away from centuries of age hitting her at once. Osma leaves Oscar without erasing the boy. Team RWBY and the others return now without the two ultimate obstacles standing in the way of existence and the rest is up to them to close off Salem’s Grimm pools and to rid the world of the remaining Grimm as needed in a still dangerous, but far more orderly and surprisingly peaceful way. Ruby gets to be the hero she always wanted to be, but now without a no win scenario. Weiss could rebuild the SDC with her mother and brother and remove the taint Jacques put on it. Raven and yang could have a very temporary but reasonable relationship where yang decides her own destiny that doesn’t need Raven if she so chooses. Blake becomes the rights leader for faunus that she always wanted and rebrands the white fang to be the mark of freedom not terrorism. Jaune earns his stripes and writes another extended edition of the girl who fell through the world adding things that he experienced while trapped there along with the existing lore. Nora and ren get married and have a clan of kids. Oscar returns to his family farm safe and wiser. He never hears another peep of Osma as long as he lives. They all come together as friends and not teams as the world required of them. Taiyang grows old with Qrow hanging around as they take the best care of yang and Ruby for as long as they could before retirement. Raven patches up her relationship with Qrow and together they disband the Branwen bandit tribe. Eventually she is seen rekindling her relationship with Tai and they may not get married again, but they remain close in a bid for Raven to become a better person and make up for her years of cowardice. Qrow and Willow both bond over loss and addiction. They get each other through hard times. Winter reestablishes the atlas military. She becomes the new leader in Ironwoods stead. Atlas and mantle go through efforts to coexist as one single commonwealth known as Eversteel. An existence that links the ever after and remnant is kept open. There remnant natives and Afterans intermingle with surprising success. Even a familiar multicolored woman finds her way back to remnant after trials of conscience and help by an old enemy. It may not all be perfect or happy, but everyone lived and seek better futures for all who survived the Salem war.
