Atlas Air Traffic Female: Manta 5-1. Welcome home. Please continue your approach to Atlas docking bay Omega-12. A security team will meet you there. Over.

(Ruby and the others aboard Manta 5-1 look around at the large military air fleet surrounding the kingdom's capital)

Ruby: I don't understand. What's happening here?

Onslaught: (Comms) well what ever it is. It's not looking good qrow he's your friend any ideas?

Qrow: I don't know.

Jaune: But we are here. We got the lamp to Atlas, so I guess we land and get some answers.

Weiss: I'm not so sure. I've never seen our forces deployed so aggressively before. If we land in a stolen ship, there's no way the security team will let us anywhere near Ironwood. They might even take me back to my father.

Blastoff: (comms) Weiss is right this is not looking good.

(Blake gains a saddened look, while Ruby and Yang look at each other, uncertain of what to do)

Blake: So.

(Weiss, having gotten an idea, suddenly looks up)

Weiss: Winter!

(Weiss brings out her Scroll)

Weiss: (to Maria) Put some distance between us and the fleet.

Maria: You don't have to tell me twice.

Onslaught: (comms) We're follow for behind. Team switch to cloaking mode.

(Swindle taps on his screen and their ship slows down and turns invisible as they fly behind them. As Weiss walks to the back of the ship, Maria steers the ship toward Mantle. As people wander the streets of Mantle, the group looks over the city through the Manta's windows. They fly past a giant screen on the side of a skyscraper. Ironwood's voice comes from the screen)

Ironwood: Cannot express our appreciation enough. Many describe these as uncertain times, and while that may be the case for the rest of the world, I can tell you what is certain. The Kingdom of Atlas will remain strong, and it will remain safe. That is my promise.

Onslaught: (comms) This doesn't look good.

Vortex: No kidding. Was it a mistake coming here?

Swindle: Well who knows? Only time will tell.

Brawl: Yeah but look at this place like they said it looks like they're ready for an attack.

Blastoff: (Dad what have you been doing?)

(On the mantle ship)

Weiss: This isn't right. None of this is right.

(Once again, the stolen Manta receives contact over the radio)

Atlas Air Traffic Female: Manta 5-1, we've noticed a detour in your route. You are to make your way to docking bay Omega 12 immediately. Do you copy? Over.

Maria: We're kind of running out of time here, kids.

Yang: We need to ditch the ship.

Qrow: Agreed. Get lost in Mantle and buy ourselves some time.

Weiss: I'm telling you, my sister can take us to Ironwood.

(Blake, who has been staring out of a window, looks over her shoulder and speaks up)

Blake: Uh, Weiss?

(Weiss walks over to Blake's side and looks out the window with her as a familiar voice plays from a giant screen)
