Zack (POV)
The iron curtains close and the lights get dim. Something begins to rise up in the middle of the room.
Ironwood- Ozpin believed the best way to fight Salem was to do so in secret. Whether that was the right choice or not isn't for me to say. But we find ourselves in the position of needing, well a new approach.
Qrow- And what do you suggest?
Ironwood clicks a button and a hologram of the floating stadium from Vale appears.

Instantly dark flashes of that night fill my head and there's a sharp pain in deep within that leaves me wobbly and light headed. Dante catches from falling.
Dante- Hey you good bro?
Zack-..........Y-Yeah.
Zack *mind*- Just what the fuck was that just now?
Jaune- That's Amity Coliseum.
Oscar- Where the Vytal Festival is held?
Ironwood- Indeed. When Beacon fell and everyone on Remnant lost contact with one another, I knew our current system was outdated. Amity was built to bring the nations together. And it will serve that purpose once again.
He clicks another button and the hologram changes.

Zack- A communication hub?
Penny- Exactly. Isn't it great? We're not just going to replace beacon tower, we're building a new tower on top of Amity Coliseum abs we'll reestablish global communications.
Winter- By launching the tower high into the atmosphere, our scientists believe we can create a sort of...satellite. Out of reach of the grim and capable of maintaining global communications even if we were to lose another tower.
Ruby- That is great.
Qrow- James, you don't need the entire military for this.
Ironwood- I will for the next part. Where I finally tell the people about Salem.
Zack- You wouldn't dare. Do you honestly think your little troops can contain the grim once widespread panic ensues?
Ironwood- Yes I do. Panic is inevitable but I believe we are ready. Once Atlas comes to grip with the fight ahead, I'll use Amity Tower to spread the message to all of Remnant.
Weiss- But everything will fall apart. Grim will be everywhere.
Winter- You're right. But Atlas is willing and prepared to assist.
Ironwood- Trying to hide the truth from the world will eventually kill us all.
He clicks a button and the room returns to normal.
Qrow- Ozpin spent his whole life, many lives keeping this secret.
Ironwood- I know. But since Beacon, things have changed. Without him here to guide us, all I can do is use my best judgment.
Zack- And that's where you're wrong because that asshole is still here. Tell him Oscar.
Oscar- Yeah Ozpin isn't exactly gone.
Qrow- Oscar here is Uh....he's the next Ozpin.
Ironwood- Oz? I'm so glad you're here. I didn't think-
Oscar- Not quite. He's kinda um...,gone...at the moment.
Ironwood- That's not normal. How did he-
Ruby- We don't know. We were in a train crash and ever since....suddenly Oz wasn't there anymore.
Zack *mind*- Lying to ironwood are we? I'll follow your lead.
Ironwood- That's the worst news yet. Did you learn anything from him about the relics before-
Ruby- He told us the lamp can answer three questions but all the questions were used up already.
Ironwood- Right right. Ozpin told us that too once upon a time. At least we have you Oscar. You're safe here in Atlas. Maybe together we can figure out how to bring Ozpin back.
Oscar- Thank you sir. I mean General....Uh ironwood?
With that, ironwood gives the lamp back to Ruby and Penny escorts us to the campus dorms where we will be staying. We ran into the ACE Ops but I paid them no mind. We were told we have a mission the next where we have to clear out an abandoned Schnee dust mine for the tower with the ACE Ops. With that in mind, I quickly collapsed on my bed and fell into deep sleep.
Timeskip to the next morning.
I was in my room alone getting ready for the mission when there was a knock on the door.
Zack- Come in.
The door opens and it's Ruby with her new look.

Zack- Hey.
Ruby- Hey.
Zack- You look good. I'm digging the new style and you even cut your hair some.
Ruby- Yeah I did. I'm glad you like it.
She comes and sits next to me on my bed and starts playing with my hair.
Ruby- You know I just realized how long your hair has gotten since Beacon. It's past your shoulders now.
Zack- Yeah. I wanted to grow it out some.
I get up and observe myself in the mirror.
Indigo: He's looks like this except the markings and his eyes are still red and silver 👇

Indigo: he also has a black undershirt so that his body isn't showing.
Zack- So how do I look?
Ruby- Handsome as always babe. C'mon, we got to meet up the others and get our upgraded weapons for the mission.
She grabs my hand and we walk out of the room and to mission headquarters.
Indigo: That's the end of this one. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. Later indigo fam. Peace.
