(An air horn sounds loudly. The black screen cuts to an offramp being lowered on the ship bearing Blake Belladonna and Sun Wukong to allow passengers to disembark. The town has many small buildings and homes set among dunes and palm trees. The town bell that has been ringing is shown in its belfry)
(Megatron Sun and Blake make their way from the deck to the offramp. She proceeds without pause while Sun stops to look at the town.
Sun: Huh.
Megatron: this place sees nice and peaceful.
(Several Faunus in summer wear meander casually at the dock, some waiting for friends or family among the new arrivals. The dock is also a commercial area, with mobile kiosks selling food and other wares. It is a relaxed atmosphere on a sunny day
(Sun is looking around while he and Blake disembark and walk through the market area together)
Sun: I've never seen so many Faunus in one place!
Blake: This is the one place everyone can feel safe, no matter who or what they are.
Megatron: and beautiful too.
Blake: yes it's that too.
Sun: sure is, uh, crowded, huh?
Blake: Yes. Yes, it is.
Megatron: um I don't mind the crowd.
Sun: Is it always so... cramped?
Blake: Well, when you try and take an entire species and put them on an island that's two-thirds desert, yeah, it tends to be cramped.
Sun: What! You guys have that much more space? Why waste it? A little desert never hurt anyone!
Blake: It's not like the desert in Vacuo, Sun. The wildlife here is more dangerous than most other regions.
Sun: So, they give us a terrible island, in the corner of Remnant, to try and shut us up.
Blake: That's a pretty good summary, yeah.
Megatron: (thinning in a way i know how all you feel but at lest you have something and didn't have to start a war)
Sun: Huh. Jerks.
(Then looks at Megatron)
Sun: um no affect megs.
Megatron: I agree with you but they are more then jerks their scum.
Blake: We try to make the best of things.
(The three pause in their walk to look at the view of the town the road affords. The road they are on goes downhill and to the side, bordered by palm trees and homes that have either canvas or wood roofs. The vista of palm trees spreads out to the edge of mountainous dunes in the distance. Right in the middle of all this is a large house with an open courtyard that the road appears to lead directly to. The house is at least three stories and is the only building in the whole area with a sophisticated roof)
Sun: Whoa...
Blake: This, is Kuo Kuana.
Megatron: it's is breath and (looks at Blake) beautiful taking Blake why would you want to leave?
Blake: That's not the point, Megatron! We asked to be equal, to be treated just like everyone else! Instead, we were given an island and told to make do. So we did the best we could. We came together and we made a home where any Faunus could feel welcome. But this island, this town, will always be a reminder that we're still not equal.That we're still second-class citizens.
(Megatron putting his hand on her shoulder)
Megatron:Well if it makes you feel better this place makes me feel at home an any where else.
Blake: Alright, time to go home.
Sun: Oh yeah? Which one's yours? Can you see it from here?
(Sun uses his free hand like a visor to help him peer at the houses)
Blake: Kind of.
Sun: Is it that one? What about that tiny one down there? I like the paintjob.
(taking Sun's arm by the wrist and directing it toward the large house)
Blake: It's... that one.
Megatron: impressive.
)Sun stares for a second before pointing his finger at her with a questioning expression. Blake nods. Sun looks at her for a beat before taking his arm off her and stepping back. He covers the sides of his head and crouches a bit, staring wide-eyed at the house and making a comical, amazed noise)
(We the. Start to make are way to the house)
Sun: hey megs I don't think any of us know but what is you home like.
Megatron: well I was like this beautiful alive and filled with life but then the Grimm destroyed it all leaving nothing but dead blood and destroy homes and I am it long surviver.
Blake: that's that's horrible I'm sorry.
Sun: yeah sorry I brought up that.
Megatron: not be.
(Megatron Blake and Sun walk up the stone steps to the front door of the house. Blake hesitates when she moves to use the knocker)
Megatron: what wrong?
Blake: I um... it's just been a long time since I've seen my parents.
Megatron: they your parents and your their daughter.
(Blake takes a quick breath for courage and bangs the door knocker. It makes a loud, heavy, resonating sound on the large door. Sun stares up, stepping back while Blake politely backs away from the door a few paces)
Sun: Okay, if we're being honest, that's kind of intimidating.
(The three give a start at the sound of the door being opened. Kali, a short, female cat Faunus is behind it, looking around at the visitors. Her ears perk and she moves the door out of the way so she can step forward when she recognizes her daughter)
Kali: Blake?
Megatron: Blake you have a sister?
Blake: What no um Hi, mom.
(Kale steps forward and hugs her daughter)
Kali: My baby girl.
(Blake hesitates, uncertain for a moment, before her face gentles into a smile and she hugs her mother back)
(They stand in front of open doorway. From inside the house, footsteps come closer and a shadow falls onto the carpeted entryway. Kali lets go of Blake and turns behind her at the sound of Ghira voice)
Ghira: Kali? Who is it?
(Ghira stand with his hands on his hips, waiting to greet the visitor. His quizzical expression changes to wide-eyed surprise, before his hands, shoulders, and face all fall in a clear, emotional reaction to the sight of his daughter come home)
(Ghira says nothing, but smiles, clearly happy. Blake smiles back, but then he see a firmly face)
Ghira: Megatron is that you?
(4wall brake Face palms myself I just realized what I did)
Megatron: yes ghira it has bin a long time.
(I then walk up to him and we shake hands)
Blake: wait you two know each other?
Ghira: yes blake Megatron here saved my life as well as others.
Megatron: I was the right thing to do.
(We then move to a table and Kali sets down her cup on the table. Megatron, Ghira,kali, Sun and Blake all sit on the floor at a table)
Kali: We were horrified when we heard the news. The Kingdom of Vale isn't perfect, but it certainly didn't deserve what happened. Oh, we were both so worried.
Ghira: Please, I knew she'd be fine!
Kali: (scoffing) That isn't the slightest bit true. You should have seen him pacing.
Megatron: Well you have nothing to worry about. I've seen your daughter in action and she quite skilled!
(Blake, who was sipping from her cup while Megatron spoke, abruptly lifts her head and blushes and swallows at his last choice of words)
Ghira: And what exactly do you mean by that, Megatron?
Megatron: well as a gladiator I have see my far share of fighter you see I definitely one of the good one I've see.
Kali: (leaning in to ask quietly) Why are they here again?
Blake: They just kind of followed me home.
Kali: I see.
Megatron: and with her body advantage such as her cat ears and ability to see in the dark she can be quite the warrior if I do say so myself.
(Megatron then stared at all three Belladonnas watch him as he then drinks his tea)
(In the awkward silence, Sun uses his tail to pick up the tea kettle and pour some more tea into his cup)
Sun: This tea is really good.
Kali: (not quite quietly enough for an aside) I like this Megatron.
Blake: Mom! (Blushes)
(I hearing this too also blush too)
(The loud sound of the front door knocker resonates, catching everyone's attention)
Ghira: Darn it, I completely forgot about the meeting!
(Ghira hits his fist onto the table and Kali quickly covers it with her hand)
Kali: Ghira...
Ghira: Give me a moment.
(He gets up and walks out)
Blake: Is everything okay?
Kali: Yes, dear, just poor timing. He can reschedule. It's just been hard dealing with them lately.
Blake: Dealing with who?
Kali: (sipping) Hmm? The White Fang.
Sun & Blake: (rising to their feet) WHAT?!
(Megatron Blake and Sun rush to the door, where Ghira is speaking with two fox Faunus, Corsac Albain and Fennec Albain. The two visitors maintain respectful, formal postures, keeping their hands clasped before them)
Blake: Dad!
Ghira: Blake, what's wrong?
Corsac: Miss Belladonna.
Fennec: We had no idea you'd returned.
(two Albain brothers speaks, they gesture with their hands and end with clasping their hands before their chests again)
Blake: What are you doing talking to these people?
Ghira: This is Corsac and Fennec Albain. They represent the White Fang here in Menagerie now.
Sun: Those psychos are here, too?!
Megatron: I agree what are they doing here.
Fennec: Young man, I'm not sure what you've heard of our organization, but I can assure you, we're not nearly as ferocious as the media would have you believe.
Blake: What we've heard? We've seen firsthand. Your fanatics slaughtered people!
Ghira: What is she talking about?
Corsac: Precisely what we came to discuss with you, Your Grace.
Kali: (approaching) Is everything alright?
Sun: Wait, you guys seriously don't know?
Ghira: (dangerously) Know what?
Blake: The White Fang was at the Fall of Beacon. They attacked innocent civilians and they released Grimm into the school.
Megatron: and they where lead by Adam and he cute off are friend yang arm right after he stabbed Blake.
(There is a brief silence. Fennec makes an innocent, sideways glance at his brother. Ghira slowly turns to face the two White Fang representatives)
Ghira: WHAT! Is this true?
Fennec: Sadly, Your Grace, it is.
Blake: Don't act like you're s-
Ghira: Explain yourselves.
Corsac: Though it pains us to admit, it has become apparent that the Vale branch of the White Fang is no longer operating under orders of High Leader Khan. Rather, they've elected to follow the rule of Adam Taurus. I believe you're all familiar with the young adept and his... extreme philosophies.
Sun: You know, Beacon wasn't the first time the Fang started shooting up Vale!
Fennec: The High Council had their suspicions of a splinter group, but they could prove nothing until this latest incident.
Blake: "Incident"? People are dead!
Megatron: and beacon is now filled with Grimm!
Corsac: And they both are a tragedy.
Fennec: Your Grace, we came to assure you that Brother Taurus and his followers do not represent the will of the White Fang.
Ghira: And how can I be sure of that?
Corsac: We understand if you bear any skepticism towards these claims. The White Fang's tactics are admittedly, more aggressive since you stepped down as High Leader and became Chieftain of Menagerie. But this, this is no way to make our message heard.
Fennec: We have ample documentation from the council meeting, as well as several strategies to apprehend and punish these strays if you care to review them.
Ghira: I will, but another day. I'd like some time to reconnect with my daughter.
Corsac: But of course, Your Grace.
Fennec: We completely understand. It was a pleasure to see you again, young Blake. And it is also a honor to meet they Megatron.
Corsac: We were saddened when we heard of your departure from the White Fang, but understand if you can no longer support our cause. And Megatron we have heard how you help us and I would be a honor if you like to be the first human in the white fang.
Megatron: thank you but no!
Fennec: Barry well but Blake It is a wearying fight, after all.
Blake: Who says I'm done fighting?
Corsac: Hmm...well If you ever do wish to join and return, you need merely come find us.
Fennec: Sister Ilia would be elated.
Ghira: Goodbye, gentlemen.
(He firmly closes the door on them. Kali moves to stand closer and face her husband while Blake walks off)
Sun: So... those guys were creepy.
Megatron: yes but I have a feeling it won't be the last we see them.
Ghira: I really don't like you. And Megatron I fear you maybe right.
