Austin's POV

After a long trip back to Earth, we arrived back at the Farm. I landed the ship next to a soccer field as we all got off. I looked around the place out of curiousity, hearing Ruby's excitement.

Ruby: Look what I found!

She had managed to find a soccer ball among the various scrap piles that were around the farm.

Yang: Awesome.

Sun: Let's play a quick match.

Weiss: Will you guy's focus? We're still on a mission.

Austin: No, go ahead.

Weiss: Wait, what?

Ruby: Yes!

Ren: What about you?

Austin: I'm going to be with the Vanguard, see if they have a plan ready.

Jaune: You sure about this?

Austin: Oh yeah, have some fun together. You guys deserve it.

Ruby: Awesome! Team RWBY vs team JNRS.

Sun: Juniors?

I began to walk away as they discussed teams. I opened the barn door to see the Vanguard talking among one another. They paused their conversation to look over in my direction.

Zavala: Titan. A pleasure to see you back.

Cayde: Where's your friends?

Austin: They're out in the field relaxing.

Ikora: Regardless, we have much to discuss.

Like old times, we stood around a table, discussing Ghaul and the Almighty. Cayde spoke with a chicken in his arms.

Cayde: So you're saying we're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't.

Zavala: On the contrary, now that we're back together we all might stand a chance.

Ikora: The fact is if we destroy that weapon, it will ignite a chain reaction that could send our sun into a supernova.

Cayde: Well....At least we have each other.

Zavala: Indeed. We all know what needs to be done. The Traveler must be freed.

Cayde: I'm thinking the four of us and a big, fat pile of explosives can get the job done.

???

Cayde: Look. I still have that Vex teleporter. It's got limited range so we'll have to get a little too close for comfort.

Zavala: Then we'll have to get through the City walls to use it then.

Ikora: But without the light, an outright assault on the City is doomed to fail. We could-.

Austin: Even with the Light, the place would be covered in darkness. We all would have one shot.

Ikora: There will be no coming back.

Cayde: It's worth the risk.

Zavala: But how do we get in?

Hawthorne: You know...

We all looked around to find Hawthorne sitting on the barn floor above us.

Hawthorne: The City is a lot like this barn. There are many places to slip in unseen, as long as you know how.

She jumped down from her spot and approached the table.

Cayde: You sure you're not one of my Hunters?
