An Atlas soldier walked towards the cell that Dylan had been confined to, the dragon faunus' first meal of the day in hand. The dragon didn't cause as much trouble as Roman Torchwick, who was in a cell on the airship above him. The teen remained rather docile, having conversations with some of the soldiers who were told to guard his cell. "Dragnox, your breakfast's here." The soldier called out to him, sliding the tray of food through the slot in the middle of the door. After a minute, the sound of footsteps and chains were heard on the metal floor. "Gratia" the dragon faunus said, forgetting to speak english and instead having spoken in his native draconic tongue because he spent most of his time in the cell talking to Mávros The guard looked at him questioningly but said nothing, returning back to where he came.


"I'm going to go see how Dylan's doing. I think I've had enough fighting for the year." Blake commented to Ruby and Weiss as she started to walk towards the courtyard. "Ditto." Weiss agreed and went to go get coffee while Ruby went to the Coliseum to watch in case Pyrrha was selected.

"-And here I thought your dark haired friend was the emo one." Qrow commented towards Yang, whose face was a mixture of emotions. "Which one?" She asked her uncle, her voice unusually soft. "The one thats not in jail..? She seems more emo while her little boyfriend seems more seriousish and just a buzzkill in general." He started rambling a bit, stopping when he saw his neice's unamused face. "Didn't appreciate that, got it." He corrected himself, waiting for Yang to continue speaking. "I thought I saw my mom." She said, looking to Qrow for answers. "Let me guess, said nothing?" Yang nodded, "How did you know?" The red eyed man let out a sigh, "You're not crazy. You really did see your mom."


Blake weaved past students who were walking in the opposite direction towards the Coliseum. Dylan was allowed to have visitors, but he told them that it was best if they didn't come too much, it would arouse suspicion between the guards. The airship he was being held in came into view. It was docked on the far side of the courtyard. She stepped in about 5 feet before being stopped by one of the Atlesean soldiers. "Why are you here?" He asked, his voice completely monotonous. "I was told that we were allowed to visit Dylan while he was under arrest." She said, confused as to why the guard hadn't known before. "Fine. You get 7 minutes." He said, moving away from the entrance to the airship.

Blake walked past a few empty cells, before reaching a larger cell that looked a lot stronger than the ones she passed.

"Dyls..?" She asked the space in front of her, expecting him to dash forward in excitement. What she got was the sound of metal scraping against metal as the dragon faunus dragged his chains across the floor when he moved up. "Kitten?" The Black Dragon Emperor asked, his voice having changed from its previous bored tone he took whenever he spoke to the guards. "Yeah, it's me. Hi." She said, unsure of what to do. "My team came here earlier, told me about some of the things that happened in the 15.8 hours I've been put in this cage." He said, his voice filled with malice when he said 'cage'. "It gets pretty lonely in here, having only Mávros to talk to. Most of the guards are dicks, except for Gabe. Gabe's cool, bring me a bit extra food thats left over after the other prisoners are fed." Blake rose an eyebrow, "Other prisoners? There was no one else on the ship." "Roman Torchwick's in the main airship 2 miles above us." Dylan explained, still a few feet away from the bars in front of him. "Why haven't you moved up all the way, it's still a bit hard to see you, even with my night vision." She said. Dylan sighed. "This is the most I can move up. Any further and then this happens." The dragon walked forward to the bars, the strain on his face evident as the shackles became heavier as he moved towards his love. Suddenly, he was yanked back by the chains, hitting the back wall with a strong thud, cracking the wall. "Dylan!" Blake exclaimed in concern. Dylan growled and cracked his back, "I'm fine love. Did they announce who was fighting yet?" Blake shook her head.

"What about Yang, how's she doing?" He asked her, knowing that she had seen his fight with Rick. "She's doing good. Well as good as you can be when you've been put under house arrest." She answered, pausing for a moment before continuing. "As for the Rick situation, she hasnt talked to him since you did... whatever it was you did. He was taken by his team back home to recover. Speaking of the fight, what actually happened?" The amber eyed girl asked the dragon, who was hidden in the darkness of his cell, his red eyes glowing. "I unleashed an immense amount of energy through my anger, Mávros' feelings having been the same as mine. Our energy combined, and she granted me the power of the DragonScale Armor. Basically what it does is boost my power and grants extra protection alongside my aura. Its only a temporary thing, seeing as how Mávros said that at my current level I'm only able to hold that form for a month straight before I'm drained completely." Blake nodded her head, "I meant the things he said. Have they been affecting you?" Dylan audibly growled, but said nothing. "Please. I want to see if I can help-" she was cut off by the guard coming back to his cell. "Times up kid, get out now. Peacefully, before you are forced."

The sound of flesh hitting metal drew both their attention to the dragon faunus who could be heard growling lightly. "She stays. 3 minutes." The guard rolled his eyes behind his helmet. "Fine. Three minutes exactly. After that, I'm going to personally drag you out." He said, walking away.

"So, about what he said. Yes, it's been affecting me. Well us technically, since Mávros was and is still pretty pissed off. She's been going off in angry rants and such." He explained, looking towards the ring on his left middle finger. "Is there anythig I can do?" She asked him, internally smiling once he nodded his head. "Tell everyone I'm ok. That I'll be out of here soon." She nodded, turning to leave. "Wait." The dragon said, his voice sounding strained. Blake turned and saw Dylan walking all the way towards the bars of the cell, reaching his arm out to cup her face. "I love you." He said, his thimb brushing her cheek. She smiled and leaned into his touch. "I love you too." And with that, she walked away.

'Blake, they're planning on taking him back to Atlas. Ozpin can't do anything to stop Ironwood, who wants him incarcerated for his actions. I'm trying to work something out, see if I can figure out a way to get him out of this place. Don't worry.' Mávros told the black cat faunus telepathically, surprising her and making the ravenette turn around, not seeing Dylan by the entrance of his cell anymore. 'Alright, I'm trusting you, Mávros' she thought to herself before walking out of the airship and going to the cafe where Weiss was.


"For our next match, we have Penny Polendina from Atlas ,against, Pyrrha Nikos from Beacon!" Port yelled through the microphone, acting as if the days' previous events had not bothered him.

Dylan was watching from a scroll provided to him by Gabe. "If I get out of here, I'm taking him with me. He's a good guy, doesn't deserve this shit." He told himself, then going back to focusing in the screen. 'Wait... Penny's made of metal... Pyrrha's semblance is Polarity. This should be interesting...' Dylan thought to himself, still having a very strong dislike for the robotic girl after she had killed those faunus back at the docks.

The fight was somewhat boring. Then, Penny drew all her swords back, which were around 14. Pyrrha had a look of terror on her face, concerning the dragon. The red headed champion's hand started glowing black as she swiped her hand, causing the blades to go away from her in the oppsite direction. The cables wrapped around Penny's limbs and viciously ripped them from her torso. "HO-HOLY SHIT" the dragon snickered a bit before realizing that what just happened was televised and children saw Penny get annihilated. He saw Ruby's tearfilled eyes in his mind, the poor girl devastated that her friend was killed. He saw all his friends look at the scene in front of then with wide eyes. Then he looked at himself, his only response a small laugh. He was ashamed of himself, but still held resentment towards the dead robot.

The sound of footsteps interrupted him from his thoughts. "Hey! Where are you guys going?" Dylan yelled out at the guards, Gabe turning and simply saying, "Emergency."
