As team RWBY and some of the others rushed to mantle, Edelgard summoned Josh, Ashe and Alice to meet up with her on the way Josh received a call from an unkown number

Alice: Josh?

Josh: go on, I'll be there soon.

He answered

Josh: who is this?

Familiar voice: I thought i would be able to call you, Brother.

Josh: Cinder...

Cinder: You still don't have a grudge against me still do you?

Josh: no. But i want to know as to how you got this number.

Cinder: don't worry about that. I just want to talk with you. Can we meet up?

Josh:sure. Where?

She thinks for a moment

Cinder: how about a cafè?

Josh: sounds good.

They hang up and Josh notices Sheyta leaning against the wall

Sheyta: who was that?

Josh: don't worry, Sheyta.

Sheyta: something tells me that it was your sister and she wants to talk

Josh: how did you know?

Sheyta: don't underestimate the intelligence of a intelligent knight, Josh.

Josh: all the worthwhile to have you as my escort for the meet up

She smiles when he asked her to his escort

Sheyta: we better get going.

They meet up with Edelgard who explains about the situation in Mantle and his current activities and Josh was shocked

Josh: WHAT?! He's looking at a war on his hands?

Edelgard: that's what i said. But not with us.

Sheyta: can't we do anything to stop it from happening?

Edelgard:I doubt that he would stop in his course of action.

Josh: then what can we do?

Edelgard: when the time comes: protect those who matter the most.

Josh/Sheyta: understood.

Then Josh receives a message from someone else

Josh: what's this?

Message: project ANHILATOR is completed and is enroute to Atlas.

Josh: Anhilator? Wait. Does that mean what I think it means?

Sheyta: what does it mean?

Josh smiles when he realises what Project Anhilator is

Sheyta: (confused) Josh? What's project anhilator?

Josh: Don't worry just yet. I'll tell you when it comes.

He goes to tell Edelgard about it

Josh: it's on its way, Edel.

Edelgard: is this about a secret project of the first order?

Josh: yes.

Edelgard: how big will it be?

Josh: the biggest one of its kind.

Edelgard: wowl
