In an empty blackness, Qrow's voice can be heard...
Qrow:The city of Mistral...
Daniel
Daniel, Ruby, Team JNPR an Qrow are walking through a stone brick tunnel illuminated by translucent lanterns.
Nora: Whose idea was it to walk again?
Ren: Well, we did face many obstacles. Broken airships, destroyed settlements...
Jaune: Oh, and, you know, all those people and monsters that tried to murder us.
Ruby: Pfft, we were fine. (looking at Qrow with a smile) Only one of us almost died.
Qrow: (looking at Ruby, smiling back) Hey.
Daniel: Good one, Ruby.
Nora puts her hands on her hips and looks at Ren.
Ren: (looking at Nora) Hey.
Nora giggles in response.
Jaune: So, how much farther to Haven Academy?
Qrow: Almost there. But I figured I'd take you kids on the scenic route.
They all approaches a pair of large, wooden double doors, which Qrow opens, flooding the tunnel with sunlight. Ruby runs out onto a massive platform that doubles as an elevator, stopping at the railing to gaze out over the city in wide-eyed awe.
Ruby: Wow!
The others join her to take in the view of buildings and stone stairways perched on mountains.
Ruby: This... is... awesome!
Below them, large crowds of people are going about their day - walking around, talking and buying merchandise legally and illegally.
Qrow: It's certainly something.
Ruby: (noticing a kiosk selling weapons) Oh my gosh, look at all the weapons!
Daniel: Ruby, don't run away. And yeah, it looks like vendors here'll sell you just about anything... whether they should or not.
Jaune: They really made the most out of these mountains.
Qrow: Every inch. Stay away from the lower levels. The higher up you go, the nicer it gets.
Nora: And we are going up! (pointing upward)
The scene changes to an Atlasean cargo airship flies over an enormous lake.
Dark
Dark: So, how much further pilot boy?
Pilot: We're in the home stretch now.
Dark stands next to the pilot guy while Weiss stands at the back, leaning against a wall with her arms crossed.
Pilot: No more stops from here to Mistral. Sorry for the long trip. Keeping us off the radar's been harder than I thought. Lots of air traffic around northern Anima.
Weiss: It's fine. I... just hope we both haven't been a burden.
Pilot: (chuckles) You and your money are more than welcome on this ship, kid... and, your boyfriend too.
The ship's radio suddenly picks up a transmission.
Pilot: (looking at it) What the...?
He reaches over and adjusts a slider, evening out the wavelengths on the screen.
