Atlas's Heart

Operation Blunderbuss

Guitars

The camera zooms from Beacon toward Atlas.

———————Atlas's Heart———————

Ready Set Go!
We were racing to the goal line not long ago.

Y/n, Weiss and Alecks run through Atlas. Then the camera switches to a scene of Y/n staring out of a window.

Even though, there was so much we didn't know yet.

Y/n reaches his hand out, clinches and releases sadly and shakily.

Crossing that line!

Flip to Weiss, stuck in her room looking out the window.

We saw that there would be no going back in time.
Even though, there was so much we didn't know yet.

She pulls out Myrtenaster and practices her technique.

We're burning, and fighting, under the sun.

Flip to Alecks and Y/n walking and talking before a familiar face distracts Y/n.

Yeah, my skin is glistening.

Y/n and Ironwood are training in the combat area before the screen cracks.

From sweat dripping down my face.

He looks down with his hands before a tear falls.

As time will pass I believe,
There are many things that we may forget.

The camera zooms into the tear to show the trio falling through the air smiling and free with Ironwood looking overhead in Atlas.

Everyone, will become, a Silhouette.

Y/n thinks about Tyler, Alecks and Weiss, all back facing, before they turn into a dark figures and fade.

But why do we pretend we don't care
All about the things that we hold so dear?

Y/n opens his eyes and lands beside Weiss and Alecks, and Ironwood approaches from behind and pats Y/n on the back.

It's so when, it's hurting
We can laugh through the tears!

Y/n and co. look up at the nighttime Atlesian sky, glistening with stars.

"WAIT—!" Clover kicks the goon in his head, knocking him out before he could finish the sentence.

"Form up!" He shouts. Everyone surrounds Clover.

"Operation Blunderbuss can begin now that we're in the base. Harriet, recon. Elm, guard the door with Vine. Marrow, you will travel with me and Y/n as we head to the site. You still have the package?" Marrow holds a hand up.

"Sure do boss. In one of my pouches." You widen your eyes.

"It's not a bomb is it?" Clover chuckles.

"In a way, yes. It's a hard drive that Marrow will plug into their main computer, take their important information, like stuff about the General and us for example. And after it copies all of the data, it'll delete everything on the computer and the network, shutting them down for good."

"Got it, and I'm going so you can keep an eye on me. If you wanted me to have an easy job you'd put me on the door." Clover smiles.

"Elm, you and Y/n will switch. Be sure to let some visitors say hi. He can handle himself." Clover jokes.
