(3rd Person POV)
Penny sat alone on an examination table in Pietro Polendina's Atlas laboratory. A robotic arm reached out and gently patted her head, before moving away. She sadly looked at her reflection in a nearby glass wall.
The giant screens in Mantle played a message from James Ironwood, while a woman in a red coat nervously carried her child across a street.
Ironwood: Citizens of Mantle - Following the most recent Grimm attack, a temporary prohibition of assembly is in place.
The woman held her child in a more protective manner and watched as three Mantas flew overhead.
Some buildings in the city had soldiers stationed atop their roofs.
Ironwood: There are to be no public gatherings of any kind. Please conduct your business and return to your homes before curfew.
Two of the children Jaune Arc previously escorted to school were hiding behind a dumpster in an alleyway, while a soldier and a camera drone passed by.
Ironwood: This is for your own safety.
Two soldiers walked out from behind a corner and saw two civilians walking along a sidewalk.
Patrol: Hey, stop right there!
Civilian: Run.
The two civilians ran away, and the soldiers pursued them.
Patrol: Stop running! Wait!
Metal bars covered nearby TV screens, which were playing a news broadcast that showed Arthur Watts' edited footage of the attack at Robyn Hill's party.
Newscaster: Though military officials have gone on record to say the footage was doctored, many citizens are still insisting that the Protector of Mantle be deactivated.
An armored truck drove past the TV's and continued on its way down the road, while Robyn, Joanna Greenleaf and Fiona Thyme followed it via the rooftops. The Atlesian Knight-200 drivers brought the truck to a screeching halt when they found May Marigold standing in its path.
Driver: Civilian, you are obstructing an Atlas military operation. Please, step aside.
Down the road to the left, a pair of soldiers came running from around a corner to check on the source of screeching tires.
Soldier: Everything alright over here?
When the soldiers made it around the corner, they only saw an empty intersection.
Soldier: Uhhh, hello?
May was using her semblance to project a dome around the truck and the Happy Huntresses, which rendered them invisible to all outside the dome. Fiona was sitting on the truck's hood, while Joanna pushed the damaged AK-200 robots out of it.
Robyn stood nearby, overseeing them. Fiona placed her hand on the truck, and a shockwave traveled from the truck to her hand, which shimmered with aura. The truck began disintegrating from the back, forward. Fiona jumped down from the hood, and the powder flowed into a black hole in her palm, which disappeared as she made a fist.
Sometime later, Ironwood was in his office, reviewing footage of the truck becoming invisible.
Ironwood: This is the worst case scenario.
He angrily slammed his fist on his desk.
Ironwood: More people are dead, Penny's been framed, and somehow, Jacques Schnee is sitting on the council.
Ren, Nora, Ruby, (Y/N), Qrow, Winter and Clover were present in Ironwood's office.
Clover: That's the second shipment for Amity that was hit today. It seems election night was the last push Robyn needed to go from hometown hero to full-on vigilante.
