Betrayed by those they trusted and left for dead, Falke and Pyrrha are now on their own. With no direction and no help they must make their way through an ever-changing Remnant as dark forces make their move, but those aren't the only beings looking...
Falke and Pyrrha follow Ky as he leads them down the empty street towards a large warehouse. Unfortunately, they don't notice that the three of them are currently being followed by a group of individuals in military uniforms.
Falke: "So Ky, care to explain why everyone seems to think you've broken the law?"
Ky: "Well, that's a bit of a long story. But to keep it short, I dropped out of Atlas Academy, which is a big no-no. I also regularly conduct highly illegal ship races. But like I said, it's a bit of a long story. So anyway, we're here." He says, stopping a locked gate outside the warehouse, Falke using Rebellion to break the lock.
They walk towards the warehouse door. As Ky opens it, the two teens are stunned at the ship Ky bragged about. It takes its base design off a bullhead, but the one before them is heavily modified.

Ky: "Yep, I built her myself. Modified the engines to allow for Mach 5 speeds, pressure sealed the hull to compensate. I added several weapon modifications...for Grimm, of course. Slimmed out the bulk to allow for better aerodynamics. She's a real beauty, isn't she...Clover."
???: "Was wondering how long you knew we were following."
Falke and Pyrrha see at the large doorway stand five armed members of Atlas's military.
Ky: "Falke, Pyrrha, allow me to introduce you to ACE Ops. Altas's top operatives and a major pain in my ass. There's Marrow the Faunus, Harriet the short one, Elm the angry one, Vine the not angry one, and finally Clover the rulebook."
Clover: "Very funny, Ky. Mind telling me why you're with two highly wanted fugitives of all four kingdoms?"
Pyrrha: "We didn't do anything."
Elm: "Then why is it that the two of you suddenly 'die,' then Beacon academy falls, and all of a sudden, the two of you just re-appear."
Harriet: "Besides, nobody allowed to leave the kingdom without the generals say, so you're coming with us whether you like it or not."
Clover: "And you, Pyrrha Nikos, will be tried in a court for your involvement in the fall of Beacon."
Falke: "What about me, huh?"
Marrow: "You think your little transformation didn't go unnoticed. Everyone knows what you are."
Clover: "You'll be brought in and experimented on as your criminal sentence. Using what we'll learn, we can hopefully give our troops the tools to finally defeat the Grimm. Think of it as an honor."
Pyrrha's eyes light up red as she becomes enraged at what they'll do to Falke. Enraged to the point that her whole body erupts into flames as a pillar of flame surrounds her, the force and heat pushing everyone else back.
Ky: "What the hell is going on?"
Falke: "Nothing good. How long do you need to start up your ship?"
