Nighttime at a forest clearing. A Mistral airship can be seen landing. The doors open, revealing its occupant as Neopolitan, who drops her disguise and is revealed to be wearing a new outfit. She looks to see someone step out of the forest, revealed to be Cinder Fall also sporting some new clothes: a cape which conceals her Grimm-ified left arm as well as an eyepatch that covers the left half of her scarred face. She stops to inspect the airship.
Cinder: It should get us to Solitas. After that, you might want to try materializing yourself some snow boots. *continues walking*
Neo rolls her eyes at Cinder's remark. She steps out of the airship and holds her hand out, and Cinder stops walking and has an irritated look on her face. Neo then places her hand on the airship and uses her Semblance to transform it into an Atlesian Manta aircraft. Cinder smiles at this. She then retracts the disguise and snaps her fingers with a smirk on her face.
Cinder: You know, Neo, someone once asked me if I believed in destiny.
The two of them board the airship.
Cinder: And I'm happy to say I still do.
Cinder smiles evilly as Neo looks away to look at some photo hidden in her hand. It's slightly torn at the corners as it shows a younger Neo with a small boy next to her, along with two adults, one woman with pink and blonde hair, the man with brown hair.
???: Cinder!
The two look up to see Midnight and Atlas soldiers running up to the Airship. They are all armed with rifles as Midnight's right arm becomes a blade.
Cinder: Midnight. Former unit of the Mercenaries that Salem lead. It's unfortunately you didn't die durning the fall of Beacon after joining Shadow.
Midnight: You don't have the right to speak murderer! You killed so many at Beacon, I made it my mission to find and bring you to justice.
Cinder: *hops off Airship and summons her fire blades* Well then, I'll let you take the first shot.
Midnight grits her teeth before she charges in to attack Cinder, while the rest of the troops go to arrest Neo. Back in Argus, multiple Manta aircraft engage in dogfights against Manticores and Sphinxs above the ocean. The Leviathan itself slowly trudges through the water approaching the city. Some aircraft fly by for a gun run on the towering Grimm. The Leviathan, however, simply dives below the ocean and swims.
Air Control: All units, be advised: Leviathan-class Grimm has submerged but is still on approach. Preparing hard-light shields, over!
Elsewhere, Ruby Rose and her friends overhear the radio chatter with looks of horror on their faces. Caroline Cordovin continues to struggle to get the Colossus' arm cannon out of the water with it being covered in ice and rock Dust.
Manta Two-Two: We're getting slammed by hostiles out here! Where is Cordovin?!
Cordovin: This is your fault! Do you hear me?!
Yang: Ruby!
Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna can be seen running out of the forest to rejoin the group.
Ruby: Yang! Blake! Are you okay?
Yang and Blake notice the disabled mech.
Blake: What happened?
ChaoticDementio: A lot happened. We'll tell you later after-
The group then hears the Leviathan roaring.
