Winter: Trust is something you earn not something that you can buy!

Edelgard: emotions are what makes us human

Ashe and Weiss finds out how Jacques won the election with the help of a disgraced scientist

Now

Jacques Schnee is surrounded by the council, General Ironwood, Edelgard, Winter, Ashe, Weiss, Josh, Sheyta and Alice

Josh: tell us why you wanted the seat so badly, Jacques.

Jacques: the reason why is so my business will go back to normal!

Edelgard: WHAT?! Someone hold me back.

Josh and Alice hold her back

Edelgard: let me at him! I want to kill him!

Alice: Edelgard. Please calm down

Edelgard calms down and leaves

Josh: Sheyta. Can you go with her?

Sheyta: sure.

Weiss: I'll go too.

Sheyta and Weiss follow her

Josh: Jacques. That is the stupidest reason I have ever heard!

Then Jacques stands and gets into his face

Jacques: This embargo is crippling my business!

Josh: all you think is your "business". When you've got the council seat to vote for what's best for Atlas.

Then Ironwood and the rest receive messages

Alice: what is it?

Blake: Mantle is without heating.

Josh: how?

They all turn to Jacques

Jacques: you have to believe me i didn't know what he had planned.

Winter: you are going to shut up and turn the heating back on.

Jacques: I've uh been told that we can't get in.

Josh paces back and forth with something on his mind and Alice notices it

Alice: something on your mind?

Josh: hmm? Oh sorry just thinking.

Ironwood: about what?

Josh: about how my father would react to me telling him about Cinder. But I know that now is the time.

He leaves them

Alice: would you like to join him, Winter?

Winter: yea.

Alice and Winter follows him when he calls his father

Elsewhere

Orsune had just finished with the meeting when he received a call

Josh: father.

Orsune: ah Josh. What's wrong?

Josh: are you alone?

Orsune: yes. Why?

Josh: it's about Cinder.

Orsune: what about her?

Josh explains about the attack at Beacon

Orsune: thank you for telling me, Josh.

He turns off his communications

Orsune: this is more serious than I thought.

Hubert: I've heard from Edelgard about it too.

Orsune: if Ironwood thinks that martial law in Mantle is a good idea. He's wrong.

Hubert: I've spoken with Edelgard if he was planning it. We'll have a big problem.

At the Schnee mansion

Edelgard was thinking then Team RWBY, Penny and the Ace ops ran past them

Weiss: Ruby. What's wrong?

Ruby: grimm has invaded Mantle

Weiss joins her team

Edelgard: Ruby wait

Ruby: what's wrong?

Edelgard hands her an circular scroll and continues with her team

Sheyta: I hope that everything will be ok

Edelgard: me too

Sheyta: what happens if it doesn't?

Edelgard: if Ironwood doesn't stop going down this path. He'll have a massive problem on his hands

Sheyta: i hope that it won't come to that

Edelgard: same
