Team RSPT - and their friend and ally Blake Belladonna - have survived their dangerous mission to Mountain Glenn and the ensuing battle for the fate of Vale. But the victory has not come without cost: Penny has been badly damaged, and must be taken home to Atlas to undergo repairs at the hands of her father; Blake has been scarred on the inside by the death of Adam Taurus, and by the fact that one of his last acts was to free Fluttershy from captivity; meanwhile Rainbow Dash, brought face to face with some of her inadequacies as a Team Leader, faces the challenge of moving forward and doing better by those who depend upon her.
Together, they are drawn to Atlas - home to some, new to others - along with Weiss Schnee, who must go home and face her father as the price for his assistance during the last semester.
But all is not well in the shining kingdom. In the shadow of Atlas, faunus dwell in poverty, questions surrounding Adam's SDC brand remain unresolved, and a desperate cry for help draws Rainbow, Weiss and Blake into a new struggle against the mysterious Merlot Industries and their army of androids.
