RWBY and Earth III: The New Frontier

Unfold

Lecture Hall

Inside a lecture hall, Teams RWBY, JNPR, GRMA, CFDT, OBSA, and JAAR, and several other students were all sitting behind their desks as Roman Torchwick and Neopolitan walked up in front of the front desk.

"Kids, those of you that are new and unfamiliar to this class, I'm your teacher, Professor Torchwick, and this is my lovely T.A., Neopolitan. And to those of you that are familiar, welcome to another fun year of hell," Roman greeted as Neo waved to everyone.

"Roman Torchwick is really our criminal investigations teacher? And Neo is his T.A.?" Watson asked.

"Yep," Ruby answered.

"Awesome," Watson said.

"Yippee for us," Emerald sarcastically cheered as she twirled her finger.

"How did he get to be a teacher and why?" Mercury asked.

"It's a part of his and Neo's probation," Ren answered.

"I see a few of you are talking about yours truly. You guys must totally miss me!" Roman said.

"As if!" Emerald shouted.

"I'm starting to like this guy," Jacket said.

"That doesn't surprise me in the slightest," Jesse said.

"Whatever you say, leader," Jacket said.

"Neo, pass down the papers. Today is gonna be a pop quiz," Roman said.

All the students began to groan and complain.

"Why?!" Ruby asked.

"Because I can," Roman answered, then muttered under his breath. "And I enjoy watching these brats suffer."

U.H.L. Headquarters

Inside the headquarters of the United Hunters League, Keaton sits behind a desk looking into his computer having a video chat with General Ironwood.

"So how's your promotion to Major and new position of the American Branch of the U.H.L.?" Ironwood asked.

"Exhausting, but still holding out," Keaton answered. "I've heard you were planning to relocate Atlas."

"After going through the events of Volume 8, the Council and I have chosen to relocate the floating city in a different part of Solitas and then bring it down to the ground," Ironwood said.

"What about the military facility underneath? Won't it get crushed? Not to mention the float island itself is uneven once it's placed onto the ground. How will you solve that?" Keaton asked.

"Atlas is planning to place the island onto a stable rocky mountain terrain, and construct support systems to keep the city stable. Will then use the Relic of Creation to bring the city to that location and carefully set it down. Doing this will ensure that Atlas and Mantle will not be destroyed," Ironwood explained.

"That way, nobody can destroy both cities at once," Keaton said.

"Exactly," Ironwood said. "By the way, how is the new prison?"

"Still under construction, but enough of it is built so that we can move our top prisoners there immediately. Two of which will face execution there," Keaton answered.

"Good. The sooner, the better," Ironwood said. "Any sign of the new Fall Maiden yet?"

"Negative. We're having no such luck," Keaton answered.
