Nighttime in Vale at a warehouse on the Eastside. The group know as the Rippers has been wiped out. Police are on the scene looking at warehouse. Ozpin arrives at the scene and looks at the scene.

Ozpin: What happened here?

V. Officer 1: We don't know. All we know is that some witnesses say The Ghost of Remnant came in and rescued everyone held captive here.

Ozpin: How does one person do that by themselves?

V. Officer 2: Don't know. It's like he doesn't want to be seen or let his identity be known.

Ozpin: Or he trying to get someone's attention. Take a look at this.

Meanwhile

Roman: Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?

One of the henchman points his gun at the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper: P-please! Just take my Lien and leave!

Roman: Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, calm down, we're not here for your money.  Grab the Dust.

A henchman opens a case and removes one of several cylinders, which the group uses to take Dust from the tube containers on the walls.

Henchman 1: Crystals. Burn. Uncut.

The shopkeeper proceeds to fill the case. As another henchman goes for another tube, he hears the muted This Will Be the Day song from the girl's direction, and unsheathes his sword.

Henchman 2: Alright kid, put your hands where I can see 'em. Hey, I said hands in the air! You got a death wish or something!?

He goes over to her and turns her around, the hood dropping to reveal a surprised Ruby Rose wearing headphones. He motions for her to lower them.

Ruby:  Yes?

Henchman 2: I said, put your hands in the air, now!

Ruby: Are you... robbing me?

Henchman 2: Yes!

Ruby: Ooohhh...

Roman is waiting for his men to finish the heist when a "Hey!" and "Hyah!" are heard, and the threatening henchman flies past him. Roman calmly motions for another to handle Ruby.
