Winter (POV)
I'm in the medical ward with General Ironwood. Across the room through a see through window, what's left of the Ace Ops are looking at the dead body of Clover who was killed as the sun rose today. The culprit being Qrow Branwen. An officer enters the room.
Officer- Sir, the prisoners have arrived. They're being processed in Stockade B.
Ironwood gives her a nod and she leaves.
Winter- Qrow and Robin?
Ironwood looks at me as doctors continue to examine my injuries.
Ironwood- Could you give us the room please?
The medical leave.
Winter- I'll be fine.
Ironwood- Thank you Winter. I don't know what I would do without you. I've never.,.,no one has seen a Grimm force this large before. Not to mention two other large scale hostile forces that came out is nowhere. The city's hard light shields will hold but not forever:
Winter- What will you do.....sir?
Councilman Sleet and Councilwoman Camilla can be heard approaching from the hallway.
Ironwood- I am going to do everything I can to defend this Kingdom. No matter the cost.
Ironwood exits the room, takes out his gun and shoots Councilman Sleet, killing him instantly.
Salem (POV)
I enter my inner sanctum with the lantern.
Salem- I have questions for you.
I show the lantern to my new pet that I have created to catch the scent of the relic

Salem- But first I need the one who could show me how. Bring him to me.
Qrow (POV)
I'm in a jail cell across from Robin and all I can do is look at Clover's bloody pendant.

Robin- This is your fault. You realize that. Don't you? All I wanted was to bring people together. To give them a chance at a better life. But you-
She wasn't talking to me thankfully. The one getting the earful was Jacques Schnee in the other cell.
Jac- Me? I am a victim. I'll admit I was duped. Used! And although my hands may not be clean, at least I am not a murderer.
Robin looks at me in my grief stricken face.
Robin- He didn't kill anybody. And I am not gonna stand here and be lectured by some shake with a mustache who helped that man tear us all apart!!
In the cell next to Jac was Watts.
Watts- Yes well. I suppose we're all stuck in it together now.
Jac- Just speak for yourself. I know the right people. I'm sure Whitley has reached out to my legal team and will have me out of here before you can say-
Robin- Shut up!!
Atlas soldiers come in the room and approach Watts's cell and deactivate the barrier.
Watts- You do realize you've already caught me.
One of them hits Watts with the butt of their gun and they drag him away. The door closes and it's back to the silence.
Robin- I hate not being able to do anything
Qrow-..........We can do something. We can kill the men who put us here.
Yang (POV)
We got hover bikes from Peatro's office and began to help the people move to the Mantle Crater while also killing Grimm or demons we come we come across.
Oscar- Has the Grimm and Demons already pushed this far in?
Yang- No. I think those were more from last night's battle. Still...
We look at the corpses in the snow. Both Angels and Demons.
Yang- Ren. If Jaune hits you with his aura amp, think you can mask everyone?
Ren- We can give it a shot but it is a lengthy trip through Mantle.
???- Maybe we can help.
We look to the voice to see four different descending from the sky. We ready up for a for a fight as soon as the touch ground.
Angel 1- Woah woah woah. Hold on.
Angel 2- We are not your enemies.
Angel 3- We are the protecters of the light and all things good.
Angel 4- We have come under the command of the Angelic Goddess Iris to help you friends of the Sacred Son, Zack Fullbuster in anyway.
They all kneel before us.
Oscar- So you're with the Angels?
Angel 1- Yes child. (Stands up) I am Archangel Gabriel and my friends are Malachi, Evangeline, and Samuel.
Archangel Gabriel

Malachi

Evangeline

Samuel

Gabriel- We four make up Squad 1 out thousands of our brothers and sisters in arms.
Jaune- How do we know we can trust you?
Evangeline- If we were to attack you or the innocents here, we would be labeled as Fallen Angels and we would be sent down into the realm known as Purgatory. There we would spend the rest of eternity living our nightmares.
Yang- What do you plan on doing to help us if we allow you to?
Malachi- We will provide aide to the injured and sick while also helping in deterring Grimm, Demons, and Ironwood's Androids and Soldiers alike.
I huddle up with the group to see what they think.
Yang- So what do you guys think?
Ren- I say no. We just met them. They could be putting on an act for all we know.
Oscar- But what if they are who they say they are? We need all the help we can get escorting these people.
Yang- Ren might be on to something yet the Angels have done nothing but fight Ironwood's, Salem's, and Astaroth's forces since they arrived here.
Ethan- I'm with Yang on this one.
Ren- Jaune?
Jaune- All of you have compelling arguments. So here's what we're going to do. We'll allow them to help us but the instant they do something suspicious or anything detrimental to our mission, we make them leave. By force if we have to.
We all break from the huddle and stand before the group of Angels.
Yang- You guys are welcome to help us but you do anything detrimental to our mission, you're gone. Is that clear?
Gabriel- Crystal.
Indigo: That's the end of this one. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. Later indigo fam. Peace.
