The team flew for hours, before seeing the city of Atlas, hovering over Mantle. The sight few truly see with their own eyes, but...now the island was protected by the fleets. Maria flew the group in low to Mantle, letting everyone jump off while they ditched the aircraft.

Delta was supported by Orchid and Willow, as Sandra was held by Qrow.

"You look like a doting parent." Jaune said to Qrow.

"I'm no good with kids." Qrow said.

The sisters looked at their reserves, seeing the low levels.

"That's not good." Willow said.

"What's up with you guys and Adam?" Ruby asked.

"It's the only thing that keeps them alive, Delta is old enough that his body is nearly 50% adam, so him running low is bad for his health." Weiss said.

"For us, it's basically like a bad headache, with weakness of body, we still function, but just now as good." Orchid explained.

"And I can smell the adam that grows in viens." Sandra said.

"Hm, neat trick, still isn't as bad as when she cried." Yang said.

"Don't get me started on that!" Nora said.

The group reached a office, when Delta finally gave out, and couldn't support himself. The sisters were beat, as their Adam had ran out, leaving the 3 outside. There was a short time, before an alarm went off, and people ran away.

Everyone waited, looking around. They saw grimm running down the street, Blake shooting at the grim with her broken sword, while everyone attacked the grimm. As a larger grimm appeared, a green laser cut around the grimm into pieces before a figure landed, her long red orange hair which ended with a curl. 

"Penny?" Ruby asked.

She turned before looking at the group.

"Sal-" She started, preparing to do something.

"-U-" She continued, Ruby looking nervous

"Tations!" Penny finished, launching at Ruby, only to have her slam into Delta, who moved in front of the girl.

There was a silence, as Delta groaned, slowly falling back.

"No. No. No. No. No!" Ruby said, as Delta fell back on her, leaving her pinned under the large man.

Penny lifted Delta over her head and set him down on the ground. She picked up the dizzy Ruby and hugged her.

"I can't wait to tell you about what has happened." Penny said

An alarm was heard in the distance.

"It will have to wait." Penny said, before flying away.

The team were suddenly attacked from unknown group, and were all trapped in Bolas ropes, with Delta trapped in his own suit's weight. They were loaded into a transport, by Atlas special forces.
