In a black void, some voices are heard in the background.

Mason: Do you remember your objective?

Ember: Don't mess up. Don't screw around. Got it.

Violet: Three trains. Each with gear. We hit them each, get the gear and bolt. No huss no fuss.

May: We are in position.

Mason: Copy. Get to work.

Llew: Moving in.

Leia: Crap, crap! Stier, Stier, Stier!

Ember: Oh here we go.

Stier: (Chuckles) You have no idea the kind of trouble you are in.

Colonel Vincent Stier chuckles again as the scene cuts from black to Leia Burns slamming her clubs up against Stier's arms. After three hits, Ember Ignis appears and tries to kick Stier in the chest, but he fails as the Colonel leaps backward and avoids the attack. Stier throws out two punches towards Ember, who blocks them. Stier goes in for a roundhouse kick and barely misses Ember. Ember leaps back as Leia goes in for a strike. Stier flips her over his person. From his now metallic arms, Stier extends two chainsaw wrist blades and yells as he blocks an attack from both Leia and Ember.

The three continue to fight one another as further down the train, Berningals begin to board. One roars but is shot through the head by May Fumi. She cocks her sniper rifle and fires again. A Nevermore screeches and attempts to dive-bomb her but May backflips and runs along the mountain wall beside the train and cuts the Grimm's head off. May flips again as an Ombre bullhead comes into view and opens fire at her. She blocks a few rounds with her sword. Leia forms a shield in front of May and stops the bullets but is punched in the face by Stier.

Ember gets behind the colonel and suplexes him onto the train's roof. Ember grabs Stier's shoulders, flips over him and throws the colonel along the train. He then leaps back and joins Leia and May underneath Leia's shield. Another bullhead arrives and opens fire at the shield.

Ember: Violet! How we doing?!

All the way to the front of the train, Violet Eclairage and the rest of Team VILE are at the engine. Violet has several wires in her hand, using her semblance to short circuit them as her team watches.

Violet: Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want to short circuit a bullet train going 150 miles per hour?!

Leia: We could use assistance here! Two bullheads and the Colonel!

Violet: Understood! Eadwulf, see what you can't do with him!

Eadwulf: Right!

Violet: Llew! Takedown those ships! (Llew nods before she teleports away) Ing, I need you here with me. Your arm's still to jacked for this.

Ing: I know, I know.

Ing walks over and begins to use his semblance to freeze some of the wires.

Back on top of the train, the three members of FLME are standing under Leia's shield. Stier slowly walks towards them, his wrist blades at the ready. As he walks in closer, Llew appears on one of the bullhead's roof's and cuts the cockpit open. Stier turns around after he hears clanking and sees Eadwulf running towards him. Eadwulf dives past Stier gets to his feet and throws a punch towards Stier. Leia lowers her shield.

Leia: GO!

Leia runs towards Eadwulf as May and Ember start to fire at the bullheads. Eadwulf blocks a strike from Stier but is still kicked back. Leia flips over Stier and whacks him in the face twice until Stier pushes her clubs back and kicks her in the face. She slides back and stops right beside Eadwulf. Eadwulf takes his knives out and throws them towards Stier.
