Daytime in Argus. At the Atlesian Military Base, various soldiers and guards work on their jobs. Weiss Schnee And Shadow are seen walking with Caroline Cordovin and Saphron Cotta-Arc, who is holding her son Adrian in her arm. They are also escorted by the two Nubuck Guards. Weiss drags a large luggage case behind her.
Cordovin: Ah, I was relieved to hear that you came to your senses, Miss Schnee. Many of us were devastated when we heard you would be attending...*with disdain* Beacon Academy.
Shadow: *whispers to Weiss* I'm about to lose it from this extremely cocky commander.
Weiss: *whispers back* Well, get used to it.
Cordovin: Knowing that you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart. And..Shadow yes? You best treat Miss Schnee with the most respect.
Shadow: Don't worry, we've been together for a while. I'll make sure she'll be protected at all costs.
Weiss: *pretending* It was...time to get my act together and go back to my roots.
Cordovin: Oh, I can't wait to see you follow in your sister's footsteps.
Weiss: *with an unenthusiastic smile* Absolutely...
Cordovin: I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part. *winks and walks away*
Nubuck Guard 1: Allow me to assist you with your bag. *hups over to pick up Weiss' luggage* My, what a heavy bag!
Weiss: *keeping her grip on her luggage* That's alright!
Nubuck Guard 1: Nonsense!
Nubuck Guard 2: Allow me to assist as well!
Weiss: I can take care of it by myself!
As Cordovin walks away, she overhears Weiss and the Nubuck Guards conversation. She stops in her tracks and gains a suspicious look on her face. Saphron and Shadow notice this. Unknown to anyone, Zerneas is seen in the back smirking with two katana's on his back sheathed.
Zerneas: What fools...thinking Atlas is the greatest.
Zerneas unveils a watch on his left wrist and presses a button, making himself invisible. Shadow nods to Saphron to initiate the back-up plan.
Saphron: *whispering to Adrian* Just like we practiced.
Adrian nods at his mother. The baby then lets out a loud wail that can be heard throughout the base. Adrian "cries" as he fusses in his mother's arms.
Saphron: *pretending* Oh no! Look at that, he's just going to miss you so much! You should hurry on out of here!
Nubuck Guard 1: A crying child?
Nubuck Guard 2: We must console it!
The two guards hup over to Adrian as they perform weird poses to amuse him. Cordovin continues walking with an unamused look on her face. While they are distracted, Weiss and Shadow quickly get onto the airship with the luggage behind her, while Zerneas slips in undetected by anyone.
Weiss: That was close.
Ruby: *over earpiece* Is everything okay?
Maria: *from inside Weiss' luggage* Call me heavy...It's all muscle! I'll show them a thing or two about heavy!
