With a dwindle of numbers of the White Fang despite a tactical victory this led to arguments between the two camps in leadership. One by Adam who wanted to continue the war to the bitter end while the other is Aero who wanted an end to the bloodshed.

Aero: We can't just send in more into what's already a death sentence.

Adam: I can and I will! Did you forget who is high leader?

Aero: I'm stating that we need retreat from all unnecessary sectors. We're spread too thin.

Adam: How is it that Azure managed to turn his defeat into a victory! We were so close!

Aero: Do you want my honest opinion or the lie?

Adam: Get our of my sight.

Aero judge by Adam's tone of voice that there was no point in trying to convince him. Going out the door Aero walks to his personal guard. This particular guard was picked for loyalty to him rather than the White Fang or Adam. As he passes by he slips him a note.

Inform Azure that the White Fang is planning for a decisive strike using soldiers from across what's left in Vale. Sadly there is one possible location to intercept that can be done to avoid any collateral damage or civilians deaths. This means regular soldiers.

Looking at the other side of the piece of paper said exactly how he will communicate. It also warned him personally to be careful as Adam will in no doubt be keeping an eye on any that is close to Aero given the disagreements. Now Azure will be skeptical but tell him these four words that I would never say to prove it. That he was right. Reading its last bit he went to go send Aero's message to the leader of the UFV.

Violet: What's with that stern look? You look almost worried there?

Azure: Prepare the soldiers and send word to our men in the city to return back to base. I'll notify our allies.

Violet: What's happening?

Azure: Adam is doing a Hail Mary of attacks. He's planning one last ditch effort to attack us once and for all with all he has left.

Violet: That's suicidal! How did you get ahold of this?

Azure: An old comrade and friend. I guess he must of doubted himself as he said those four words he would of never of said unless he was absolutely sure.

Despite what Azure told Violet he had to send word to one more person. He heard what this Team RWBY did and he cannot let it happen.

The four were making their way to go meet up with Team JNPR. Though they notice that the city had a eerie lack of Faunus. There was less after the United Front of Vale began to move operations into the city as well. A single figure wearing the traditional UFV uniform stood in the way

Aegean: You don't know who I am.

Yang: You got that right.

Blake: Yang, don't you recognize that he is a part of the UFV?

Weiss: More importantly is why he's wearing it in public? I mean won't he get arrested?

Ruby: Weiss, clearly he has all that covered.

Aegean: (thoughts) Now I understand what Azure meant when he said that this team may seem off. Wonder if Zero is a part of it.

Ruby: Wait I think he was going to tell us a message.

Aegean: Thank you.

Yang: Why do you have Y/N's emblem?

Aegean: Okay, okay I can do a quick history lesson. You see I was one of the originals UFV soldiers who trained under Zero or Winter.
