it is early morning in Mistral. Ruby Rose is seen lying on the ground on the patio outside of the training room. She watches a group of four birds flying together, before one of them flies away from the group. As she watches it fly, Ruby sees Yang Xiao Long, Deira and Omega peek over her head.

Yang: You're up early.

Ruby: (smiles) Hey sis, bro and Deira.

Yang: Boop.

Yang lets her hair down and uses it to tickle her little sister's nose. Ruby giggles affectionately at her older sister's action. Ruby then sits up as Yang sits down next to her.

Ruby: (sighs) What are you doing up?

Yang: Can't fall back to sleep.

Ruby: Ah, me neither.

Weiss: Well, fortunately, coffee exists.4

Omega: Ya. 

Weiss Schnee carries a tray with three cups of coffee and walks over to join her teammates. She lowers the tray down so Yang can grab a cup.

Ruby: No, please!

Weiss: Don't worry, I put in blasphemous amounts of cream and sugar, just for you. (she holds the cup out in front for Ruby)

Ruby: Oh yeah! Nice Weiss strikes again!

Suddenly, Weiss pulls the cup away just as Ruby was about to grab it.

Weiss: I will pour this on you and it will burn.

Omega: Are you sure Ruby Dosen't have her aura actived.

She hands the cup to Ruby, who nervously giggles. Weiss sits down next her teammates and grabs her cup of coffee after placing the tray down next to her.

Yang: Can't believe we're actually in Mistral.

Ruby: That's what you can't believe?

Yang: Well, yeah! And all the other magic and stuff. But... Okay, you know what I mean!

Weiss: I honestly wasn't sure if I'd ever see you two again.

Yang: Well, here's to defying expectations.

Yang and Weiss clink cups together, while Ruby gulps her cup down in one go, opening one eye to glance at the others' cups.

Ruby: I just wish Blake could be here with us.

Yang: Yeah, well, she made her choice.

Omega: Choices can change Yang. She may come back

Yang: (showing bitterness) I mean she could've been here if she just stuck around. It's no big deal though. We'll be fine.

Omega: Yang she is your teammate since day 1. SO CALM DOWN

Yang: (her eyes turn red and to Omega) Don't tell me to calm down!

Omega: Yang. Did you learn anything from dad.

Yang realizes what she did, and her eyes turn back to normal. Her hand shakes while holding her cup.

Yang: Whatever.

She gets up and leaves. Once she was far Xero fallowed her. Soon We see yang look at the picture she took with her team even when there is a knock on the door

Yang: Yeah?

The door opens but Yang doesn't look up to see who entered.

Yang: Look Ruby, I really don't want to talk about it, okay? Can you just leave me alone for a bit?

Yang looks up, and is surprised that it was not Ruby But Xero. His face shown.

Yang: Oh. Hey Xero. Did you need something?

Xero: Talk. Now.

Soon Xero closes the door behind her and sits on the bed opposite to Yang. 

Yang: (sigh) I know she's our teammate, but I'm not just going to change my mind. I'm sorry, I just... I don't think you know what it's like to be left. You have a giant family, recitals to perform at, dinners to attend. I didn't have any of that. My mom left me. Ruby's mom left too. Tai was always busy with school and Ruby couldn't even talk yet. I had to pick up the pieces. I had to keep things together. Alone. (pause) Xero, if you have something to say, then say it.

Xero stays silent for a bit.

Xero: Ok. I see. If you think your ready for the past like of your brother, of mine, Of Askad and Of Kary-08. Then your ready. But if not. I will give you time.

Yang takes time to get ready. and then nods her head.

Xero: Good. (sighs) Me, Omega, Askad and Kary where Reincarnated form a world of Hell. Every Second our past selves been on mission after mission. It was only when we went to Bio Int things where not in Me and Omega's Favor. Once we enters a certain Room Askad Killed himself with a loner knife. Omega went to fight a Virus called XV. and at the end of it all. Kary went coco and betrayed us. After that Me and Omega wanted to escape. After gaining a more powerful armor and blasting our way threw scores of people and robots. We met at the train station only to fight Robots in our old armor. the same armor me and Omega wear. After then we used the same knives you saw at the forest during day 1 to blow them up. Then Me and Omega Fought kary-08. After a long fought battle, Omega was Killed by Kary-08 and XV gained control. It was only then I used Joy to snap him back to reality. He wanted me to kill him and gave him that mercy. After that My past self discarded the name I was given Xero, Gave his teammates a proper grave and left with little to no info of him existing. During that He went and trained a kid named Enid the death arts of Both His and Omega's past life. Soon the New order came and with that he fought in the heat of battle dying his own way. Now. All of us are connected by those memories. Our weapons, our armor is the same as them. The only difference is that we are here and they are dead. and that we are human and they where cyborgs. The fact that Me and the squad got this far with the knowledge we have from our past lives is amazing.

Yang: I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have assumed.

Xero: The fact that I still have (looking at his hands) my death arts feels weird. Because I know you or my sister will disagree on me using it. But Blake made her choice and they can change with time. Give it days or weeks and she will come back.

Yang: She doesn't have to be alone though. I was here for her. We all were! She chose to leave us.

Xero: She may have a family. She won't be alone where ever she is at. But the entire time Blake was at Beacon, she was afraid to open up to people. She tried to keep her past separated from us. She tried to protect us. Eventually, those walls she put up came down. And the moment they did, the one thing she was afraid of actually happened. The universe proved her right. Know you and Me saw why.

Ruby: Is, uh... everything okay?

Xero: Um.... Ya. Well. I guess that is our session.

Xero walks out and gose to find someone.

Meanwhile a scroll is seen vibrating on the table with Blake's portrait and the text "BLAKE CALLING" on the screen. Gunfire can be heard. Suddenly, the table is knocked to its side as Kali and a Menagerie Guard take cover.

Guard: Get down!

The guard gets up to fire back at two White Fang soldiers. He manages to shoot one of them down, but he gets shot down by the other. With the guard incapacitated, Kali takes his pistol and starts firing back.

Kali: Get out of my house!! Ghira!!

As she calls out to her husband, Kali is forced to take cover again from the gunfire. Meanwhile, Ghira and a couple of other Menagerie guards fend off some White Fang troops in the entry hall. One of them tries to kick Ghira, but he grabs his foot and slams him into the wall. Ghira dodges a sword slash from another White Fang trooper. A guard manages to knock out another trooper after a brief scuffle, and Ghira knocks out the troop that attacked him by punching him in the diaphragm and slamming his head into the ground.

Ghira: Go find my wife!

Another White Fang troop approaches Ghira with his fist drawn back, but Ghira grabs his wrist and knife hands him in the neck, and then tosses him aside. Another guard gets shot while protecting Ghira and goes limp. Ghira catches the guard's body and drops it to the ground, with Ghira wincing at his fallen comrade. He then growls as he turns his attention to the Albains, who have their weapons out.

Corsac: I believe it's time our dear chieftain stepped down, brother.

Fennec: Yes brother, I'm afraid I'm inclined to agree.

Ghira lets his claws out and rips his coat off. He bares his fangs and makes a feral growl at the two brothers, before letting out a mighty roar.
