Ozpin and Glynda can be seen through the window into Ozpin's office. Glynda speaks "Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels." "Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man." three more Bullheads fly in. "But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore." A chirping beep sounds repeatedly. Ozpin turns to see a hollow-message "Access Requested" on his desk. "Come in." The doors slide open to reveal Ironwood as Ozpin approaches to greet him. "Ozpin!" Ozpin stands at attention."Hello, General." "Please, drop the formalities." Both approach and shake hands as Glynda also approaches. "It's been too long. And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met."
"Oh, James!" Glynda gives a personable wave and then drops all pleasantries. "I'll be outside." She walks away. "Well, she hasn't changed a bit." As Ozpin speaks, Glynda can be seen from behind Ozpin and Ironwood as she exits the room.
Ozpin turns to his desk and asks "So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas?" He picks up a mug and a kettle, pouring as he speaks. "Headmasters don't typically travel with their students for the Vytal Festival." He turns and offers the cup to Ironwood.
"Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year." Ironwood produces a canteen from his inside coat pocket and pours its contents into his mug. "Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up." Ozpin walks around to his desk, kettle and a new mug in hand.
Ozpin sits and pours himself some coffee. "I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however, a small fleet outside my window has me concerned."
"Well, concerned is what brought them here."
"I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult."
"Oz, you and I both know why I brought those men."
Ozpin takes a drink and sets down his mug. "We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression."
"But if what Qrow said is true..."
"If what Qrow said is true, then we will handle it tactfully." Ozpin emphasizes this as he holds up an index finger. "It's the Vytal Festival. A time to celebrate unity and peace. So I suggest that you not scare people by transporting hundreds of soldiers halfway across the continent."
"I'm just being cautious." "As am I. Which is why we will continue to train the best Huntsmen and Huntresses we can."
"Believe me, I am." Ironwood turns and walks away. He stops near the door and looks back at Ozpin. "But ask yourself this: Do you honestly believe your children can win a war?" "I hope they never have to."
"One more question." "You're nervous about the mixels?" "That's what you called them?" "that's what they call themselves. I assure you that they mean no harm towards us, just the grimm." Ironwood turns back to face Ozpin. "How do you know they won't hurt us, or that they can fight?" Ozpin smirks "I'd like you to meet the MCPD tribe." Ozpin pressed a button on his desk
"STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!"
Tiketz was in pursuit of Sun as the monkey fanus ran with his animal-like speed.
"YOU'RE NOT IN TROUBLE! YOU JUST NEED TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF! Oh what's the point. I'll never catch him!"
"Wanna mix it to fix it?" Next to him was compax of the Trashoz holding a cubit! "HA! Just what I needed! MIX!"
The MIX looked like a blue and green motor-trike with Tiketz's head. "TIME TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH!" The MIX caught up to sun in no time and took him back to the dock. The sailors from the ship looked like they were going to pummel him, but the MIX stopped them before un-MIXing "I didn't bring him here for you to punish him, I brought him to explain himself." the sailors replied "But officer, he's a fanus!" "So? what does that have to do with anything? I mixed with a Trashoz to stop him! Where I come from, differences are celebrated with MIXing. Now start talking boy, and I may let you off with just a warning." sun hung his head in defeat "Fine. I couldn't afford a ticket to vale, and I was going to be part of the Vytal festival, so I snuck onto a boat and stowed away." "Hm... well, I guess I should write you a ticket." Tiketz pulls out a pen and notepad before obviously throwing them towards Compax, who eats both of the items in one gulp. "Oops! well, I guess i'll leave you with a warning this time. Stay safe!" He waves at them before speeding off down the road. Sun looks at the sailors and says "Whelp! Gotta go!" Before running in the opposite direction.
Ironwood took a moment to process what he just saw. "Okay, fine. They're not here to hurt us, for now. But I've got my eye on them." to which Ozpin replied "All 81 mixels?" "81!? THAT'S A SMALL ARMY!" "Yes, well we've got them under our watch, so try to enjoy the Vytle festival when it's time, because they will be in it." "You're pushing your luck Oz." "Maybe, maybe not. Either way, you should get going now. I'm due for a check-up with the Medix tribe in 10 minutes."
Just then, the elevator doors opened, revealing a giant tooth creature with a toothbrush arm. "Hi. can you hurry up? We're ready for you now."
Ozpin is alone in his office and one of his windows is broken "Where's Ironwood?"
Outside, Ironwood has parachuted out of Ozpin's tower and is repetitively saying "Nope" in response to seeing Tuth.
