Leonardo Lionheart sits in his office with his head in his hands. From offscreen, Arthur Watts opens the door to the room.
Watts: Are we ready?
Lionheart lifts his head to look at Watts as he closes the door behind him and steps into the room. A brief exchange of looks is made as Lionheart turns his head away from Watts who smirks in response. The two soon enter a secret hallway adjacent to the office. At the end of the curved hallway is a circular room containing a Seer Grimm.
Watts: After you.
Watts pushes Lionheart closer to the Seer Grimm.
Lionheart: Your Grace, are... you there?
The red smoke-like substance contained in the head of the Seer Grimm shifts to form an image of Salem and Cinder Fall at their location in the Land of Darkness.
Salem: Hello, Leonardo. Do you have something to report?
Salem and Cinder are also looking through a Seer Grimm to communicate with Lionheart and Watts.
Lionheart: Of course, ma'am. I would not waste your time, if not.
Watts: I'm still just so fascinated by this creature. Cinder dear, are we coming through? (tapping the Seer) Can you see us clearly? Well, as clearly as you can.
Cinder: (annoyed) Shut... up.
Watts: (sarcastic) Oh goody, you've recovered.
Salem: Your report. What is it?
Lionheart: I've... I've found the Spring Maiden.
Salem: Is that so? Well done. Arthur, had I known how useful you'd be in expediting this process, I would've sent you long, long ago.
Watts: As much as I'd love to take credit, ma'am, I can't say that either of us are to thank for this development. I guess you could say, a little birdie told us.
Salem: Explain.
Lionheart: You see, ma'am, Qrow Branwen arrived at Haven Academy earlier today. He believes Spring has taken residence with his sister's tribe.
Cinder: Is... the girl... with him?
Watts: Yes, Miss Rose was in attendance.
Salem: And you know of the tribe's location?
Lionheart: Yes ma'am! But you have to hurry! Qrow is already at odds with my--
Salem makes a face of annoyed concentration and in response one of the Seer Grimm's tentacles shoots out to wrap around Lionheart's throat and choke him.
Salem: Leonardo, do you remember the first time we met? I remember. I remember your fear. But, since that day, you've been extraordinarily brave. I won't forget all that you've done for me. Do not forget everything that I can do to you.
The Seer Grimm slowly brings the point of another tentacle close to the face of Lionheart before drawing it back. Within the orb of the Seer Grimm, Salem makes a gesture, and the tentacle simultaneously releases him from the chokehold. Lionheart coughs and gasps for breath.Salem: Cinder, you and your team will meet with Doctor Watts, and together, convince Raven Branwen that the survival of her people depends on her cooperation. Once you have Spring under control, escort her to the Relic and contact Hazel. The White Fang was promised the destruction of Haven, and they'll have it once we have what we need.
Watts: Understood.
Salem: Not you, Arthur. Tyrian's in need of a new tail.
Watts: What happened to his old one?
Cinder: Guess.
Watts: The silver-eyed girl?
Cinder looks stern and grunts as acknowledgement.
Watts: It will be done.
Salem: Good.
The image of Salem disappears from the Seer Grimm to show the connection has ended.
Watts: Seems Qrow was right, Lionheart. The students aren't pushovers.
In the Land of Darkness, Cinder is clearly unhappy.
Salem: You're free to speak your mind.
Cinder: I don't understand. Working with bandits? Keeping Ruby alive? What's the point? We're strong enough to take what we want by force!
Salem: Never underestimate the usefulness of others. Take Leonardo; he was one of Ozpin's most trusted, and yet now... (chuckles) You will have the power I promised you, when the time is right. But remember that it comes with a cost. If Ruby Rose has learned to harness her gift, then you must take care to protect yours. There's only so much I can do to aid you.
Cinder bows to Salem and goes to exit the room.
Weiss: Where are we?
Pilot: Nowhere good. Passing by some of Lake Matsu's floating islands. The gravity Dust that forms in these things is giving us a little turbulence. Nothing I can't handle, but the islands sometimes hide some nasty Grimm. (As Weiss walks toward the pilot, outside, an airship is seen quickly heading towards them, on fire, and leaving a giant trail of smoke behind it.) I'm just betting on our friends in distress keeping them preoccupied.
Omega notices to Him right the approach of the heavily damaged airships.
Omega: LOOK OUT!
The Bullhead dodges the burning Ship.
Pilot: Lancers, freaking Lancers! Alright buckle up-- Huh?
Omega is seen from the cockpit falling before he actives his Jet boots and summons Joy and terminator.
Pilot: (over an Omega's Com) What are you doing?
Omega: Fighting.
Pilot: ok.
Soon the Fenix's also Join in as A newly fresh batch Teleports in guarding the ship Soon Omega and the First batch Begin to fight the Lancers. The fall Soon the Queen enters. Omega Then Enters Overdrive unsummoning the weapons Before summoning his lone nights Before Rushing in and Blasting the Dust out of the Queen. With the Queen Dead. Omega Then Flys back to the ship. But Soon was out fuel.
Pilot: OMEGA!
Omega: It's ok. Go on without me.
He soon lands. Between Bandits.
Bandit One: What do you think?
Raven approaches from offscreen to take a position between the two bandit. But is shocked to See his Nephew.
Omega: So. (summons Joy Before dumping the Cases and Grabbing Some Experimental speed loader. They were flashettes made for the colt version of Joy before loading them in and Placing the Cylender back and aims at the Bandits Placing at the his left hand on the hammer) Who wants some.
