(Dairoku's POV)
Atlas Air Control: Manta 5-1, welcome home. Please continue your approach to Atlas docking bay Omega-12. A security team will meet you there, over.
We all stared at the heavily armed city in concern... the times I've been up here... it never had looked like this... What's happening James...?
Ruby: I don't understand... What's happening here?
Qrow: ...I don't know...
Me: Me neither...
Jaune: But we are here. We got the lamp to Atlas, so I guess we land and get some answers?
Kuraime: I don't think that's the best idea, Jaune...
Weiss: Kuraime's right. I've never seen our forces deployed so aggressively before...
Kuraime: If we were to land in a stolen ship, then there's a fat chance they'd let us anywhere near Atlas Academy or James...
Weiss: They might even take me back to my father...
Celeste and Kuraime put reassuring hands on Weiss' shoulders.
Kuraime: We won't let them take you away from us again, Weiss.
Celeste: Yeah, you can bet on it!
Weiss smiled at them...
Blake: So...
Me: Wait... Weiss, don't you think...
Weiss seemed to catch onto what I was suggesting as she perked up.
Weiss: Winter!
Neo: I forgot your sister is in the military.
Me: Not only her. Lucy's there too... even Crystal and her team. If we could get a hold of them...
Lucifer: Crystal...
Weiss: Right! *to Maria* Put some distance between us and the fleet.
Maria: You don't have to tell me twice.
As Weiss and I pulled out our scrolls, Maria directed the ship towards Mantle, where it gave off... a real depressing feel... There was a giant display on James on a skyscraper.
Ironwood: ...cannot express our appreciation enough. Many describe theses as uncertain times, and while that may be the case for the rest of the world, I can tell you what is certain. The Kingdom of Atlas will remain strong, and it will remain safe. That is my promise.
Yang: General Ironwood... He looks...
Ruby: ...Tired...
Qrow: James, what have you been doing...?
Lucifer: Apparently not all good... The last time I was here, Mantle never looked so... depressing.
I was starting to get frustrated as Lucy nor Team CRSL wouldn't pick up their scrolls...
Me: Damnit, no luck over here... What about you Snowflake?
Weiss: Nothing... *looks at Mantle* This isn't right... None of this is right...
Atlas Air Control: Manta 5-1, we've noticed a detour in your route. You are to make your way to docking bay Omega 12 immediately. Do you copy? Over.
Maria: We're kind of running out of time here, kids.
Tyros: We need to ditch this ship.
Qrow: Agreed. Get lost in Mantle and buy ourselves some time.
Weiss: I'm telling you, my sister and Lucy can take us to Ironwood.
