The Beacon dance was going very well. The students were dancing, if not talking on the sidelines or eating from the buffet (which the Lixers and Munchos helped to prepare). Team JNPR had just finished their dance when, suddenly, the power went out. The music stopped playing, the lights turned off, and the AC unit shut down. Everyone was in a massive panic.

"What's going on?"

"Why's the power out?!"

"What are we going to do!?"

Just then, the students heard speaker feedback, which was followed by a raspy voice coming out of the speakers (somehow). "Testing, testing. 1,2,3. Is this-s-s-s thing on? Zaptor, how are you doing on the lights?" the mysterious speaker said, lighting up the stage with his glowing electric body as he said the 's' sound.

"Almos-s-s-s-t finished!" said a mysterious voice from the catwalk, with harmless sparks raining on the students in a similar fashion.

"MUSICIANS ARE IN PLACE AND READY TO MIX-X-X-X IT UP!" shouted a third voice, raspy like the first voice but a little higher. He lit up the back of the stage as he stretched out the 'x'.

A spotlight turned the student's attentions to the stage, where Teslo of the Electroid tribe stood, talking into his tail like a microphone. "Alright, Zaptor! Way to go! Now get down here!" "Yes-s-s-s boss!" The second voice revealed himself to be the tower-like Zaptor as he jumped down from the catwalk into the second empty spotlight. A third spotlight on Teslo's right shown down on on the static-haired Volectro.

Teslo cleared his throat before talking into his tail again "Alright, first things first; the blackout only here, and not an accident. Now it's time for the main event!" each Electroid pulled out a yellow and purple cubit as Teslo spoke "Please put your hands-s-s-s-s together for the Mixel with a horn to toot, Trumpsy!" Tesslo gestured to his left as a spotlight shone down on Trumpsy, who was standing on a pedestal as he played a fanfare. the students applauded with a few approving murmurs mixed in the crowd. Teslo continued. "Give it up for the crushin' master of percussion, here's-s-s-s-s Tapsy!" A second spotlight activated on his right, revealing Tapsy as he quickly sampled his drum skills. He was greeted with a louder applause and more cheering. "And let's not forget the leader of this musical tribe. She's the star of the guitar. The lead singer who's a real z-z-z-zinger! The one. The only! JAMZ-Z-Z-ZY!" the spotlight behind him turned on as Jamzy played a sick rift and shouted "ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?!" while fireworks went off on her pedestal. She was greeted by a roaring applause and lots of cheering from the crowd of soon-to-be huntsmen.

But Teslo wasn't done yet. "And now, for the first time ever, the Mixies will now be preforming their songs..." The Mixies jumped down from their pedestals, landing next to the Electroids below them as they grabbed the cubits held by their electric cousins. "...reMIXed!"

Three speakers fell out of nowhere, crushing the Mixels, only to grow in size and explode, revealing three MIXes that looked like the regular Mixies, but with glowing Electroid-themed armor. The reMIXed Jamzy grabbed the mike in front of her and said "LET'S MIX IT UP A NOTCH!".

Needless to say, the party was a complete success.

In a hallway, Cinder discards two bracelets and her mask to change from her stealth suit into a black dress and enters the dance. Two guards following her crush the bracelets underfoot and are visibly confused at the sight of the crowded dance hall. Cinder walks up to Emerald and Mercury and taps the prior's shoulder.

"Oh, may I cut in?" Emerald steps aside.

"Of course.

Emerald leaves as Cinder begins to dance with Mercury.

"And how's your night been?" "Mmm... a little more exciting than expected." "Should we be worried?" "Hardly... They'll be scratching their heads long after we finished what we came here for." "So then what now?" "Enjoy the rest of the night. After all, it is a party."

Little does the villain know that, from the top floor of Ozpin's tower, two of the Newzers are uploading data into the Headmaster's computer. Camsta's eye is playing back the footage of Cinder's confrontation with Ruby as Screeno looks down at the building that the dance is taking place in.

"That's right. Enjoy the dance. Eat, drink, do whatever you want! Cause when tomorrow comes, you won't be able to do anything without us knowing everything about it. This is Screeno..." Screeno slides his finger across his throat with an angry look on his face "...signing off!"
