Y/N POV

Manta airships patrol the skies around the City of Atlas, keeping in communication with each other over radio. As Maria Calavera pilots the group's stolen Manta toward the city, they receive radio contact.

Atlas Air Traffic Female: Manta 5-1. Welcome home. Please continue your approach to Atlas docking bay Omega-12. A security team will meet you there. Over.

I was terribly confused at what I was seeing.

Y/N: I don't understand. What's happening here?

Qrow: I don't know.

Jaune: But we are here. We got the lamp to Atlas, so I guess we land and get some answers.

Weiss: I'm not so sure. I've never seen our forces deployed so aggressively before. If we land in a stolen ship, there's no way the security team will let us anywhere near Ironwood. They might even take me back to my father.

I looked at Emily as she shrugs at me.

Amber: So...

Weiss: (to Maria) Put some distance between us and the fleet.

Maria: You don't have to tell me twice.

As Weiss walks to the back of the ship, Maria steers the ship toward Mantle. As people wander the streets of Mantle, we  look over the city through the Manta's windows. They fly past a giant screen on the side of a skyscraper. Ironwood's voice comes from the screen, catching my attention.

Ironwood: ...cannot express our appreciation enough. Many describe these as uncertain times, and while that may be the case for the rest of the world, I can tell you what is certain. The Kingdom of Atlas will remain strong, and it will remain safe. That is my promise.

Ruby and Yang look saddened.

Yang: General Ironwood. He looks...

Ruby: Tired.

Qrow: James, what have you been doing?

Four Atlesian Knight-200s are seen walking down a street in Mantle, while civilians around them complain about their presence.

Weiss: This isn't right. None of this is right.

Once again, the stolen Manta receives contact over the radio.

Atlas Air Traffic Female: Manta 5-1, we've noticed a detour in your route. You are to make your way to docking bay Omega 12 immediately. Do you copy? Over.

Maria: We're kind of running out of time here, kids.

Yang: We need to ditch the ship.

Qrow: Agreed. Get lost in Mantle and buy ourselves some time.

Blake, who has been staring out of a window, looks over her shoulder and speaks up.

Blake: Uh, Weiss?

Weiss looks out the window which made her eyed widened after she saw who was on the screen.

Weiss: W-Winter...

Amber: She should be dead.

Winter: A reminder. Failure to cooperate with Atlas military personnel is a punishable offense. If your sector is under lockdown...

Weiss: There has to be someway to talk to Ironwood.

Qrow: Look, I'm not even sure we should be talking to Ironwood until we know exactly what's going on with Mantle.

Weiss: But--

Maria: Everyone, calm down. (sighs) I know someone who can help with both.
