Fred and Yang hop inside Fred's car and quickly drive away from the hospital. Ember gets in his own car and grabs a radio.
Ember: All units, this is Detective Ignis. Follow a red muscle car, license plate "FFYY-5711". They know where our missing kid's case is and hideout for hostiles. The car is NOT a hostile. Treat it like one of our own boys!
Ember slams down on the gas and leads the Vale PD and Ignis PI towards the hideout point.
Inside Beacon Academy, Oscar looks out across the night sky. A beacon goes off on his desk and he walks over and presses it.
Oscar: Yes?
Ember: I'd assumed you heard from Ruby.
Oscar: I have. The others have too.
Ember: Then get your ass moving! We got a job to do.
The communication is shut off and Oscar grabs his cane and extends it. Around the city of Vale, bullheads all fly in from around the world. On one is Weiss, her sword already sharpened and dust is loaded. On another is some Menagerie guards and Blake and Sun. Sun places his nunchucks on his back while Blake sheaths her sword.
On the Burns Personal Airship, both Jaune and Leia are standing, moving towards the site. Lastly, on a far off hill, a motorcycle rolls up with a man on it. He takes off his goggles to reveal a much older and beaten Neptune Vasilias. He glares ahead and pulls his goggles back down and drives off towards Vale.
Back with Fred and Yang, Fred has an annoyed look to his face.
Fred: I swear, I'm going to strangle him!
Yang: Lavenza or Stark?
Fred: ...Both really!
Yang: Oh, now you're threatening my kid?!
Fred: OUR! OUR kid! And its metaphorical! But he just...he on my nerves! Both of them do!
Yang: They're kids! They're suppose to be dumb!
Fred: We weren't that stupid! Stupid yes but not that dumb!
Yang: We didn't have a choice!
Fred: Exactly! And I just...Geez! They really do get this from you!
Yang: I know! And I'm proud of them for it!
Fred: Your perspective is stupid, Yang!
Yang: Well I love you too!
Meanwhile, Amber is still inside Tealle's hospital room and watches on.
Tealle: They'll be fine. I wouldn't worry.
Amber: I know.
Tealle: Don't blame yourself. You didn't do any of this.
Amber: Yeah. But my Dad was right. My friends were right. I...I didn't stand a chance against those guys.
Tealle: Well...that shouldn't matter all too much. You're safe. That's what matters the most about all this.
Amber: What matters most is that my brother and my family friends get to live! That's what matters right now.
Tealle: What matters right now is keeping people safe. Stark and his close friends thought they could do that. Maybe they can. But it's still what he believed in. Right?
Amber: (Sighs) Yeah. Somehow.
Amber slumps down into a chair and sighs again. She again glances out the window and sighs to herself.
