In the Vault under Haven Academy, the sound of a weapon clanging is heard. Neopolitan stares at the door that once guarded the Relic of Knowledge; the door itself is now a stone wall since the Relic has been taken out.
Cinder: Now you understand.
Cinder Fall is sitting on a boulder, flicking her dagger and changing its form.
Cinder: I've got to get the Relic before it can be secured in Atlas. It's the only way that Salem... (sighs before she finishes) It's the only way we can accomplish our goal.
Neo looks back at Cinder.
Cinder: You're not the only one who wants Ruby dead. But unfortunately, Salem does not feel the same way...
Neo places her umbrella on her shoulder and walks toward Cinder.
Cinder: I've been... instructed not to kill her... (melts her dagger in her hand) But you... You have no such orders. You can do as you please.
Cinder's dagger disintegrates and she stands up to walk towards Neo.
Cinder: Help me get to Atlas, help me find her... and the rest is up to you.
Neo ponders Cinder's words for a moment before smiling at her and holding her hand out. Cinder takes Neo's hand with her own, sealing the deal with a handshake.
Wind is heard howling. In a mountainous region, a lone, cloaked feminine figure with a skull mask concealing her face crosses a rickety bridge.
