In the middle of the cold and quite night, Beacon Academy was completely silent as the Students and Staff had went to sleep for the night. Outside of the castle-like school was the Atlas fleet, floating around the boarders of the school to keep it protected. General Ironwood could be seen, standing on the edge of the cliff Beacon was situated on, gazing out into the distant city of Vale all on his lonesome, until a particular voice was heard.

Glynda: "Trouble sleeping?" He glanced back to her and chuckled, holding onto his left arm.

Ironwood: "Arm was acting up.

Glynda: "Ah, of course! So, logically, you get out of bed, dressed yourself completely and decided to gaze menacingly out into the distance." She summarized with obvious sarcasm. But then she dropped it and looked at him concerned. "What's wrong?"

Ironwood: "I've trusted him for years. We both have. I just... I can't help but feel... like he's keeping us in the dark."

(A/N: "Foreshadowing?")

Glynda: "Don't be ridiculous. You know very well that we are not the ones in the dark."

Ironwood: "That makes it worse. I refuse to believe a man I've trusted for so long would act so... passively."

Glynda: "You're a good person, James." She placed a supporting hand on his shoulder. "You've always done what you think is best for the people, even against strong protest. It's admirable. But it's high time you stopped talking about trust and start showing it. Ozpin has experience that the rest of us lack. And I think that's something worth remembering. Like what you did with Akito. Despite him being a former White Fang fugitive and had stolen your Gundam Exia, you decided to place your trust in him."

As she ended her sentence, she sound of thrusters could be heard in the distance, gradually getting closer. A silouhette of some flying object behind the moonlight could be seen getting closer and closer to where the two stood. While Glynda was on the defensive, Ironwood simply gestured her to stand down.

As it got closer, it suddenly began to transform, becoming a more humanoid shape with a glowing green orb on the chest and glowing green eyes

As it got closer, it suddenly began to transform, becoming a more humanoid shape with a glowing green orb on the chest and glowing green eyes. It's colors were similar to the Exia and Eclipse, it being primarily white and blue with bits of red and yellow. Attached to the left hand was a shield that resembled the nose of the flying object it once was. It looked like a kind of Gundam.
