Team RWBY entered the Amity Colosseum after getting a well earned lunch and went to find their seats so they could watch Team JNPR and root for them during their fight with Vacuo's Team BRNZ (Bronze.) Emerald and Mercury entered as well and went the opposite direction of the four, missing the glare that Yang was giving Emerald.
Once everyone was seated, Emerald and Mercury sat and observed the fight that was about to happen. Mercury had a massive tub of popcorn on his lap and was currently eating out of it.
"I wonder who's gonna win?" He asked while chewing a mouthful of popcorn.
"Tch. As if we didn't already know." Emerald scoffed.
"Oh, come now." Cinder said, getting their attention. "Even if you know how a story ends... That doesn't make it any less fun to watch."
Cinder sat down behind the two and observed the battle below, before her Scroll buzzed getting her attention. She answered it, knowing who was calling her.
[We have a problem.] The Stranger said.
"What kind of problem?" Cinder asked.
[The kind that puts the whole plan at risk!] A second voice sneered.
"Well well, so the great Arthur Watts has joined our call." Cinder said snidely. "To what do I owe this pleasure, Doctor?"
[It's the virus you planted in the CCT. For some reason it's stopped uploading a few hours ago.] Watts fumed.
"What do you mean it stopped uploading?" Cinder asked, the smirk all but wiped from her face.
[I mean that something's stopped it, you imbecile!] Watts jeered. [Either Atlas made improvements to the security system that I designed, or someone found it and purged it from the system.]
[Both are unlikely, but... Ohh... Heheheheheheh...] The Stranger chuckled. [It seems that I've misplaced my Shadow Drive.]
"What?" Cinder asked.
[It would seem that even in death that Roman Torchwick is still a pain in our ass.] The Stranger replied. [There's only one person I know that could understand the significance of that device, and he's currently at Beacon.]
"Silver Rose." Cinder concluded.
[Indeed.] The Stranger replied.
"He knows?" Emerald asked, now very concerned.
"So it would seem..." Cinder snarled.
[Without that virus, the entire plan is at risk!] Watts shouted.
[Calm down, Doctor.] The Stranger replied. [The loss of your virus is a mild inconvenience at best. Besides... I have an alternative plan that will have the affect we desire.]
"What kind of alternate plan?" Mercury asked.
[I need to make the necessary preparations.] The Stranger said, ignoring Mercury's question. [The next time we speak will be in person, Cinder. For now, play your role. It's almost time.]
The call ended and Cinder glared at the Colosseum as Emerald glanced at her, no longer certain of how this story would end as the match was about to begin.
"Team JNPR of Beacon versus Team BRNZ of Shade!" Port announced.
Several holographic images popped up around the arena and images began to move around like a slot machine, before it settled on a picture of a forest, and a picture of a mountain with a storm cloud on it. One half of the surrounding field opened up and a lush forest area appeared behind Team BRNZ, which made May Zedong smirk, before the ground behind Team JNPR opened up, revealing a massive mountain with some trees jutting up from the mountain's base. With the stage set, Port initiated the countdown and when he shouted begin, both teams engaged each other.
