They watched the carnage in shock. Alaska had let them continue watching and they'd since seen the city burn, Alaska one of the many still fighting.

After a while the camera focused on a brunette woman in a red dress and Alaska's growl of "Cinder" told them who she was.

She was fighting Pyrrha and, impressive as the redhead was, Cinder was stronger.

Also, a dragon!

They could see Alaska and a girl in red at the bottom of the tower, then the girl in red running up the tower.

She reached the top in time to watch her friend die.

Everything on the screen went white.

The video finished and the screen flicked to a list of articles set in two columns.

"Ok, we're done." Alaska demanded.

"What?" South exploded, "But, all these articles? What are they about? Why..."

"Because you don't need to know about these deaths. They aren't a significant historical event. I was just tracking the progress of my friends and who was still alive."

The room fell silent as she left. York pulled the files back up again and they filled the room. On the left were news articles about deaths and on the right were articles following a group calling themselves RNJR and a force moving underground.

North began to scroll through the names of the dead. A few of them were highlighted:

Taiyang Xao Long.

Qrow Branworth.

Yang Xao Long.

Blake Belladonna.

Fox Alastair.

Flynt Coal.

Neon Katt.

Cardin Winchester.

Sage Ayana.

Scarlett David.

Winter Schnee.

"Jesus," York muttered, "There are so many names. These will have been her friends. Her teammates. Her family."

North closed the list, "I see why she didn't want us to see."

"Pull up the other list, the one on RNJR and an underground force."

"South," North started, "I don't think we should..."

"Ala said they were alive, right? "

He nodded and pulled up the files.

The first was a series of news clippings following the group calling themselves RNJR but it had few details. All the clippings showed was the direction the team was going and that they were skilled fighters who saved village after village.

The second was a section of written communications between Alaska and a woman named Coco Adel. They detailed the plans of a fighting force ready to snap into action when the time was right. There were also plans to get Alaska out of the mansion she was trapped in but it appeared she was sent to their dimension before it could happen.

They hoped RNJR and this Coco could save Alaska's planet. They really hoped.
