Attempting To Find A Solution.

This takes place on the same day as "The Beach Episode" and "Nefarious plans". After those events.

Inside Ozpin's office (late night)

Ozpin: The High Council is not cooperating. All active hunters are to not return home until the mission is done.

Ironwood: I dare not call the incident that occurred on the day of the tournament a blessing in disguise, but that has given Atlas an excuse to extend our stay here in Vale.

Ozpin: And even with that, you're recourses are handicapped due to a great number of units being stationed around small tribes outside the Kingdom. Not to mention the rest are back in Mantle.

Tai: You never suggested doing something like this before Oz. Why the need?

Qrow: Old Ozpin here believes that an attack is coming.

Ironwood: There is more to it than that... Every day more and more Huntsman/Huntress goes missing in Mistral.

Ozpin: Lionheart didn't bother to bring it up. In fact it may have seemed that his only purpose to speaking to me was to retreat the USB containing the virus. As well as proving a more than generous offer to the 4 individuals dubbed TRND.

Tai: I've met them as of recent. Don't know what they're story is, but from what Qrow tells me and how well our introductions went. Then I am glad that they are not against us. Not unlike that Mercury kid or Emerald girl.

Qrow: Those 3 teams managed to score a real victory as of recent. That building has been monitoring our every step that we have taken. Doesn't make it easy when you try to go undercover.

Ironwood looks directly towards Qrow and Tai

Ironwood: And what of Raven Branwen? She's been forced to migrate the entire tribe close to Beacon. We do believe she has the Spring Maiden under her protection. We must capture her and have her pay for her horrible crimes.

Qrow and Tai give Ironwood death glares. Ozpin speaks immediately to defuse the possible fight.

Ozpin: For now we must find a way to secure the streets. The police alone cannot handle a second invasion, should it come to that. We need Hunters. So how are we going to get Hunters?

Everyone seems to calm down and begin to think for solutions.

Qrow: So what is this dark energy that you feel Oz?

Ozpin: It's the same feeling we all receive when we are in the presence of power. The Maidens, the Artifacts/Relics... Salem. In all my past lives there has been this vision of a doomed remnant.

Tai: Aren't the Relics supposed to be full of positive energy?

Ozpin: Energy is neither good nor evil. It is the will of the beholder to use their gifts as they please. Whether responsible or selfish.

Qrow: And this unknown entity has different-yet-similar shade of darkness I suppose.

Ironwood: I'm sorry Ozpin, but I need more than a Vision.

Qrow: I'll put my faith in one of your visions any day Oz. We all would.

Tai: If Salem is up to something we'll get to the bottom of it and we'll stop her. It's what we trained for.

Ironwood: Back to the matter at hand gentleman.

Ozpin: I cannot give you more James... I am sorry.

Tai: It's not like we can't call in a few favors and gather some retired Hunters from our generation.

Qrow: But what story, motivation, or purpose could we give them to pick up their weapons once more? Unless we are conferrable with telling the tru-

Ironwood and Ozpin: NO!

Tai: What about an alliance?

Everyone: With?

Tai: ...

Everyone: ...

Tai: ... R- Ra... Raven!

Qrow: Are you out of your DAMN MIND!

Tai: Here me out! She holds a maiden, she pretty much has her own army, she will be dealing with someone she knows, and-

Qrow: We are not that desperate.

Ironwood: Yet.

Ozpin: To be considered at best.

Qrow: wait you serious! We don't know her exact location.

Ozpin: Nothing is being said and done as of yet Qrow.

Qrow started to calm down a little.

Ozpin: Hum... I do not wish to take away the young ones free time before the new school year... However it's not like they can forget everything.

Ironwood: At this point... they can no longer live as they once did. Now they can't even take a walk in the park without attempt of assassination.

Qrow: Ruby needs to master that silver eye power. For all we know theoretically or potentially it could match that of Maidens.

Tai: She doesn't even have a teacher, and being self-taught could take years.

Ozpin: Much like all silver eyed warriors before the Rose lineage. Salem will stop at nothing until she causes their extinction. This makes her a target that stands out over the rest.

Ironwood: It does give me comfort in knowing that Ruby Rose spends a majority amount of time with people that know how to fight.

Tai: But how long can we rely on 1st year students that will move on to the 2nd when summer ends?

Qrow: I don't want to rely on friends of the family alone.

Ozpin: The General and I prefer for it to remain that way. To be under the watchful eye of someone that she, and by extension us, that can be trusted.

Tai: I don't want my daughter to live in fear. As a father I want her to have her independence.

Ironwood: We've made a terrible mistake with an even bigger consequence when we left Amber to do as she pleased.

Ozpin: Tai/Qrow this is not taking away her freedom. This is us taking precaution.

Tai: To what extent?

Ironwood: Whatever it takes.

Ozpin: Until she can control her powers to truly defend herself.

Qrow: Ok so what about us? Surely you don't expect 2 Veteran Hunters alone to watch over all of Vale.

Tai: James surely you can set up a few cameras around.

Ironwood: And risk the virus infecting more of our technology? Besides I've already decided to have Winter help out the 2 of you patrol the streets.

Qrow: Absolutely n-

Ozpin: Absolutely you say Qrow? Then good, it's good to see you wanting to play well with others.

Qrow: FINE! What about Glynda?

Ozpin: Well now I still need my assistant to settle a few more matters with the other schools.

Tai: yeah... we might be here another 2-3 hours...

Back inside the laboratory (within the Base)

Thanks to the astounding fast improvement in scientific and technological advancement that Group 935 accomplished in less than a few decades, and the teachings of Dr. Maxis himself...

Richtofen has so far been able to reconstruct a severely battle damaged P.E.N.N.Y with only a few roadblocks along the way. Some of this worlds tech is new to him of course. But Richtofen will stop at nothing to find a way.

However... There is one obstacle that finally made Richtofen scratch his head in confusion... A source of power. NO! Not simple electricity where he could just attach the power core he managed to get his hands on... it's the Aura within.

The similar inner energy that he himself along with Nikolai, Dempsey, and Takeo had awoken within themselves back in Northern France.

Richtofen's thoughts: This is one of those "similar but different" situations where in this world... it takes an individual with Aura to unlock the Aura of another, whereas it took the 4 of us to gather (A/N: AKA Kill a bunch of zombies that had Element 115 in them) a ridiculous amount of Element 115 to open that reward chest and absorb the power. That is the Different part...

Richtofen's thoughts: The similar part is how Aura and 115 display the same results. Such as above normal strength, self-healing, speed increase, and performing abnormal exclusive abilities.

Richtofen's thoughts: I dare not assume anything without all the information presented to me first... but this robot girl seemed to have been worn out in some battle. Even if I complete P.E.N.N.Y... Will it still have its old Aura? Will the project even work without this Aura? Or will I need a... Replacement.

Richtofen's thoughts: Element 115! Alien in origin, capable of powering an entire Moon station, The M.P.D, The Castle, and nearly every Wonder Weapon, More... I could attempt to power P.E.N.N.Y with Element 115! But where to get a supply here... Oh of course! Our Staffs and Bows contain such a source!

(He thinks while working at the same time).

Some White Fang camp

Ilia: So what did Cinder's lackeys want with you?

Adam: To provide us with an offer we simply cannot refuse.

Ilia: What's the job and how much were we promised?

Adam: As you know our forces have been scattered and imprisoned. The ones that walk the lands free are awaiting orders.

Ilia: Yes I am.

Adam: Cinder needs Vale's satellites in order to transport something to Mantle. For now that is none of my concern. The true goal for us comes in 3 parts.

Adam: We will send coordinates via Morse code in order to regroup all forces into one place, to inspire all mistreated Faunus into rebelling against their oppressors from both Vale and Mantle, and have Cinder herself return to us with maps that lead to hidden prisons and SDC dig sites. (A/N: Schnee Dust Company).

Ilia: And you expect her to deliver?

Adam: Yes.

Ilia: ...

Adam: We move in a few days. For now we rest.

Authors Note: My number one favorite Zombie map is undecided as it is a seemingly never ending debate between Origins and Mob Of The Dead.

Authors Note: Seriously I played both for countless hours and the funny thing is... When I play Origins and reach round 30 or above I think to myself... Man I want to play Mob Of The Dead. And when I play Mob Of The Dead and reach round 30 or above I think to myself... Man I want to play Origins.

Authors Note: Also I do not understand the hate for Buried. To me that is a good map. Maybe I would place it at the 8th or even 7th spot.
