In an empty blackness, Qrow's voice can be heard.

Qrow: The City of Mistral...

Nora: Ugh! It's about time!

Qrow, Zach, Team RNJR, Rin, and the Percival Twins are walking through a stone brick tunnel illuminated by translucent lanterns.

Nora: Whose idea was it to walk again?

Ren: Well, we did face many obstacles. Broken airships, destroyed settlements...

Jaune: Oh, and, you know, all those people and monsters that tried to murder us.

Rin: Not to mention the amount of information that was thrown at us.

Ruby: Pfft, we were fine. (looking at Qrow with a smile) Only one of us almost died.

Qrow: Hey.

Zach: Well, it's the truth.

Briana: You're lucky our dad's a doctor.

Nora puts her hands on her hips and looks at Ren.

Ren: (looking at Nora) Hey.

Nora giggles in response.

Jaune: So, how much farther to Haven Academy?

Qrow: Almost there. But I figured I'd take you kids on the scenic route.

The group approaches a pair of large, wooden double doors, which Qrow opens, flooding the tunnel with sunlight. Ruby runs out onto a massive platform that doubles as an elevator, stopping at the railing to gaze out over the city in wide-eyed awe.

Ruby: Wow!

Ruby: This... is... awesome!

Below them, large crowds of people are going about their day - walking around, talking and buying merchandise legally and illegally.

Qrow: It's certainly something.

Ruby: (noticing a kiosk selling weapons) Oh my gosh, look at all the weapons!

Elena: The weapons of Haven are very well made. That's what makes our home very popular.

Qrow: Vendors here'll sell you just about anything... whether they should or not.

Jaune: They really made the most out of these mountains.

Elena: Anima is mostly a flat land, it's natural to make a city along natural fortifications, like mountains.

Qrow: Every inch. Stay away from the lower levels. The higher up you go, the nicer it gets.

Nora: And we are going up! (pointing upward)

An Atlesian cargo airship flies over an enormous lake.

Weiss: So, how much farther?
