With Cinder and Neo
Cinder and Neo are still trying to find a way to enter Atlas. At one point, they hear some noise, both turning around and getting their weapons.
"Show yourself!" says Cinder, and Adam just shows up still walking "Taurus."
"Cinder." Adam responds "What brings you two here?"
"We're trying to enter Atlas. What about you?"
"Going to save some people."
"Do you know how to get in?"
"No, I've never been here, never planned to make an invasion here, it was kinda made it up as it went along, never thought of coming here."
"Know any shortcuts?"
"There are things like trains that will pass in..." a train passes by and an echo is heard "now."
"We can get there."
"It would take the average person in Atlas 3 days to reach there, assuming no Grimm will attack us. Besides, whilst they are making some vehicles that can go faster than a jet, but it would take us more than 30 minutes. Even then, they are prototypes and there are none here."
"Too long... a patrol?"
"Do you want to get captured?"
"Some flaw in this design?"
"No, I never thought of a way to get in.... wait, you mentioned a patrol right?"
"Yes... oh" Cinder and Adam just now got the same idea.
To the opera
The opera is almost finishing, and Yang, Blake and Ruby still found nothing.
Yang in thought: Oh my God, why can't we find them?! Its so frustrating.
Yang then accidentally changed the settings of the frequency. The flat lines then changed and Yang heard a voice in her ear comm.
Yang in thought: What? I changed the setting and I heard something.
Yang then texts Blake about it.
Yang's text: Try to change the frequency.
Blake in thought: What?... Fine.
Blake changes and hears the conversation, but in a second later it changes.
Blake in thought: I found out. Their frequency changes into a different pattern in a second later. Let me find the pattern.
Blake changes the pattern constantly, trying to find the pattern. After awhile she did and is hearing the whole conversation.
Blake texting Ruby and Yang: Yes! I found them. The pattern is up up down down left right left right right left.
Yang and Ruby do so and all of them are hearing the conversation, moments before the opera finishes.
To Weiss and Riley
Weiss and Riley are going downstairs, after opening that secret door.
"My God, what is this?" Weiss wonders quietly, both of them jaw dropped at what they are seeing. It's like an entire facility, with cryogenic pods, all of them empty except one, computers showing security camera footage from everywhere in Atlas, soldiers walking around like an entire army, there also seems to be yells in the background, but it's too faint to be heard properly.
"Who is that?" Weiss and Riley heard some noise in the background, thankfully, they saw an empty room right next to them. Riley got a multi purpose key, unlocked the room and they entered.
"What is it Jim?" a soldier asked.
"Thought I heard something." Jim responds.
"Maybe you're not sleeping well. Let' just continue patrol."
"Right." Jim and the soldier then continued to patrol.
"That was close." says Riley.
"Yeah... An office?" Weiss wonders.
"What?"
"It looks like its from my father."
"It is." Riley points to a picture of Weiss' family.
"No, he couldn't." they hear some noise outside, sounding like it is Jacques "Don't tell me..."
"I think so Weiss, your dad is the man behind it all."
"Impossible." Riley looks at Jacques' table as quickly as possible. He opens a drawer and sees a bunch of files.
"What are these?" Riley wonders and Weiss looks.
"It seems to be some form of file of the soldiers that attacked us."
"Same for me and your friend Blake." they analyze and the soldiers seem to consist of people who were presumed dead or poor children who lost their families and have nowhere else to go. They also seem to be enhanced with steroids, all except two, trained in all forms of combat, and trained to be ruthless killers. Riley then looks a bit more at the drawer.
"Why do you think dad did these?"
"Not sure Weiss." Riley found a camera of a sorts "let's see this." They turn on the camera. There are several videos. Riley looks at the first one. The video plays and shows someone getting tortured.
Jacques in video: All you know is loyalty to Atlas. You have no friends. No family. None of that. Failure is not an option.
They stop watching. Riley clicks the second video. The second one shows a pov video of one of the soldiers. He seems to have entered a White Fang base. During that, it shows him brutally killing a member of the White Fang, by doing a choke hold on him then stabbing him in the back several times.
"We need to show all of this to the General." says Riley.
"Right, I'll make copies of the files, just in case." Weiss suggests.
"Go ahead." Riley sends the videos to Ironwood, as Weiss makes copies of all the files.
Back to the opera
Yang, Blake and Ruby are walking to the entrance.
"The opera was great." says Yang.
"We were even able to find the soldiers." says Blake.
"Go us." says Ruby.
"I'll be right back. Need to do something." says Yang.
"Alright, we're waiting for you, we still have time." says Ruby. Yang walks off. Blake is in deep thought. She reflects on how, after she found the frequency of the soldiers communicating, and texting Yang and Ruby about it, she got this feeling that someone was watching them, she couldn't tell because whenever she looked it seems like no one was looking at her.
Blake in thought: Am I going crazy?
"Hey Blake." Blake then comes back to reality "Are you okay?" Ruby asks.
"Yeah." Blake responds "I just got this weird feeling."
"What is..." Before Ruby could finish her sentence, she passed out and got carried by someone.
"Hey..." Before Blake could say anything, she also got stunned. She got a look at both of the people holding her and Ruby, and they are 2 girls, one more was also there, seemingly for Yang. Blake and Ruby were barely able to hear what they were saying.
"Where is the blonde?" says one of them through radio. The radio was too muffled for Blake and Ruby to hear properly.
"Where is she now?"
"Got it. We need the blonde, get to the toilet." two of the women left and the third one is keeping an eye on them.
Ruby: No... Sis...
Ruby and Blake passes out.
