The Greatest Kingdom

Start from the beginning
                                    

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)

Winter: A reminder.

Weiss: Huh?

Winter: Failure to cooperate with Atlas military personnel is a punishable offense. If your sector is under lockdown.

Weiss: (shocked) Winter?

Qrow: No offense, Weiss. I'm not sure that's a good idea anymore.

(Weiss tenses her shoulders and turns to Qrow, fists clenched.

Weiss: There's obviously something very wrong. If we can just talk to her, then we-

Qrow: Look, I'm not even sure we should be talking to Ironwood until we know exactly what's going on with Mantle.

Weiss: But-

Maria: Everyone, calm down. (sighs) I know someone who can help with both.

Atlas Air Traffic: (angry) Manta 5-1, you are to make your--

(I get tried of this and just punch the radio braking it)

Megatron: boring conversation any.

Maria: i could of just turn it off you know.

Megatron: just land the ship.

(After landing the stolen Manta in Mantle, Maria cautiously exits an alley by slowly shuffling along with her cane. When she sees the coast is clear, she picks up her cane and walks normally, and everyone else exits the alley with her. In the distance, a small group of Atlas soldiers run down a street in the direction that Maria and the others came from)

Soldier: It landed over there, let's go!

(The group begins walking through Mantle together. Trucks drive past, and Atlesian Knight stand on various sidewalks. There is a hologram board displaying news articles with the following headlines)

Maria: Come on now, hurry! It shouldn't be much of a walk.

Jaune: Is this many soldiers normal?

Weiss: No. At least, I didn't think so.

(At the back of the group, Yang notices a whirring sound and stops to take a look)

Yang: Huh?

(There is a small drone hovering to her right. The camera part of the drone lifts up, focused on her. When Yang shrugs it off and resumes walking, the drone follows her. She stops again and looks at it in surprise and confusion. As she leans in to take a closer look, the drone takes a photograph of her face with a bright flash, which Yang recoils from. In response, Yang kicks the drone, knocking it out of the air and causing it to tumble into the street, where it is struck by a car)

Yang: Ooh.

(Yang turns to see everyone else in the group staring at her. She awkwardly shifts her posture with a sheepish smile)

Yang: Maybe we should pick up the pace.

Megatron: no one do anything to draw attention.

(Everyone resumes walking)

Maria: You have to remember, the Kingdom had just lost the Great War. The people of Mantle needed a sign of a brighter future, and that sign was Atlas. After all, a home in the clouds is as bright as it gets.

(They look up at the City of Atlas, while the earlier broadcast from Winter plays once again nearby. A pair of trucks drive by with miners, covered in black material)
