The scene opens with Shadow, who can be seen speeding down a dirt road as the sun begins to set in the background. The wind blowing past his face as the trees on his sides are but a green blur to him.
Shadow: Man, I didn't realize that I was so far away from Beacon. I remember passing out near Atlas...which reminds me. What even happened to Atlas?
Shadow makes a quick stop on the side of the road and pulls out his scroll. He searches for Atlas news only to find one report from the past 2 years.
"Atlas has fallen to the Grimm. Hero's gone missing after the tragedy."
Shadow: *shocked* Fallen? And Heroes gone missing....*becomes determined* If it's who I think it is, I need to get to Beacon and fast. I hope they're all ok. *reves up Fenrir* Hang in there Snowflake, I'm coming home like I promised.
Shadow begins booking it back to Beacon as fast as his bike will let him. Unknown to him, a Grimm Orb is watching him, as it relays the information to Salem. Salem's white hand clenches as she looks up from her Grimm orb in anger.
Salem: That little brat is still alive all this time?! I thought he was dead after what we did to him!
Salem sighs in annoyance as footsteps are heard behind her, revealing to be Sephiroth.
Sephiroth: It won't matter in the end. Shadow appears to have lost much of his power in his time away. It is unlikely that he will pose a threat for some time.
Salem: I can't afford to take chances after last time. *looks to the Grimm Orb* Where is he going?
???: It appears to be that he's heading for Beacon Academy.
Tyrian: Beacon? Why would he be heading there?
Salem: It doesn't matter. This might be our way to win the war. Send Grimm forces to stop and kill Shadow. I want his head on a silver platter.
Sephiroth: As you wish.
Sephiroth leaves to mobilize Grimm forces to put an end to Shadow as Salem returns to looking through her Grimm Orb.
Salem: Clock's ticking till the end Shadow....be ready to say goodbye.
The scene fades away as many hours later, Shadow arrives at Beacon Academy. The setting sun is behind the school as Shadow puts up the kickstand of Fenrir and gets off of his ride. He walks up to the school before he stops and looks at the school.
Shadow: This sure brings back memories...
Shadow closes his eyes as the memories of the early days of being a huntsman return to him.
Flashback
Ruby: Ohmygosh, sis! That kid's got a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword! *she tries getting closer, but Yang pulls her sister by the hood back into realistic proportions* Ow! Owww
Shadow: Chill out Ruby, their just weapons.
Ruby: Just Weapons? Shadow their an extension of ourselves! Their a part of us!
