Narrator pow:

"Now that's something I like to see." Maken smiled, looking down from the back of his Griffon as they flew high above the newly constructed railway line between Kuo Kuana and it's Bakugan City.

"Building projects?" Griffon asked, somewhat amused as he saw what looked like a Haos Juggernoid carrying a big load of rails for montage.

"No, dreams coming true."

"Close enough, creation is always a biggest obstacle."

"Now to come think about it, Menagerie might become overpopulated overnight." Prince added, looking to his left towatds the sea where at least a dozen of small vessels directed itself towards the nearest harbour.

"No need to worry sick boy." Griffon snarled, earning a doubtful look in response. "Blake's parents took this one onto their shoulders, you're needed elsewhere and they know it."

"They did? How sweet of them." Maken smiled, looking slightly upward and witnessing Blake grabbing herself a little bit of freedom as she Just dived between the clouds with her Ravenoid. "Also, don't you even try flying up to her. I can't play her wingman all the time."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Atlas, Vale and Vacuo want to do what?" Volt asked, as he and majority of higher ranked brawlers held a close meeting in one of Mistral's conference rooms.

"To attack us? Yes." Mylene added, sending him a dead serious glare. "Apparently they still view Grimm as secondary danger in comparison to Faunus."

"I guess Maken's idea was right at the core, Remnant must be united by force if it hopes to battle the Salem." Lync scoffed sadly, looking with empty eyes throu the window at the lines of construction sites where the public works were being held to convince local population.

"And by force we will crush those who aren't capable of understanding the importance this moment has." Adam added, bursting through the opened doors with malicious face.

"We shouldn't go radical about this." Emerald responded first, frowning at him.

"Exacly, that's why we crush instead of breaking beyond repair." Adam responded swiftlt, repelling her accusation. "Radicalism is their way of dealing with us. What we can do is moderate execution of orders and passive observation of their front crushing under it's own ambitious pressure and weight of Grimm hordes."

"So we're meant to look at them and defend what we get now?" Chan Lee asked from the side, rising an eyebrow in a sign of sparking intrest.

"More or less. We obviously grab every place and land they abandon first since civilains deserve the righteous treatment of ours."

"Sound reasonable." Sebastian nodded, looking left and right at the silent agreement that came between them all. "Now then, what do we do about the Salem?"

"She will obviously allow three Old Kingdoms to bleed out in a attempt to breach us and proclaim quick, glorious victory above anarchistic Faunus terrorists." Adam said, checking everyone with his stoned glare. "Given that we actually have forces needed to keep our Kingdom safe from the trio, we could send everything else above the safe level of home defense to destroy Salem."

"Just go after her in one go and defeat her?" Mylene asked. "You know what power she, and everyone who stayed on her side has, right?"

"Yes, I do. What I also know is that we can't allow her to stay around given her trickery and will to grab the relic Shun gave us." Volt opposed her, narrowing his eyes. "Listen, I also don't like unnecessary risk. But this one actually is necessary. We don't know what she does if given any more time."

"... I don't think we have any alternative options in this room." Sebastian added after a while of eerie silence. "How many of us have to stay behind for three Old Kingdoms and hordes of Grimm to back off?"

"All low ranked brawlers would be enough, but they still need a competent guidance from the top." Emerald responded, flicking her fingers. "Assuming that Maken and Blake want to go and do the thing, Sebastian and at least one more from us needs to help them while the rest do the heavy lifting and remain cautious."

"One more, huh? I volunteer." Chan said right after her, causing Lync to flinch due to sudden response.

"She's so eager to go with you, how cute..." Fall Hydranoid added from Sebastian's shoulder before he silenced her with a finger in front of her mouth.

"Now that's a worthwhile effort right there." Shadow commented with sarcastic snarl, finally adding something to the conversation.

"Indeed." Volt nodded. "But we still have to prepare for this raid, sudden and bold situations are always a high risk."


"Oh, so NOW we hear about this?!" Yang exclaimed as she and the rest of her group resided in Arc's family house, all of then engaged by Weiss's trying to explain why she allowed Shun to leave with the relic.

"What was I supposed to do? Fight them all at once?"

"Yes!"

"Not now. We don't need additional trouble." Qrow interrupted the two, stepping in between. "Ozpin, what do you suggest?"

"Given that Atlas will be joining on the military operation against Menagerie, I'll suggest we all earn the Huntsman licenses and join them in the attack. That's the best available way for us to take relic away from them and keep it in the safe hands of General Ironwood."


"Hey Maken." Griffon said, earning his brawler's attention. "What did we do with the relic lamp thing anyway? It sounded like an important item first time I heard."

"Oh, this useless piece of metal?" Maken asked him in response, causing the bakugan to land onto the rocky desert close to the Kuo Kuana for a sake of not colliding with anyone mid-air. "I smelted it with Volt's written acceptance in his laboratory. I figured out that this power shouldn't be accesable to anyone."

"Okay, you smelted it. But what after?"

"After? It was turned into a part of some new mechanical bakugan Volt wanted to make for a sake of us having more power when needed... Actually, I just realised something."

"What?"

"Volt's battleship disappeared."

"Excuse me?"

"I was only told that he brought him into his lab for repurpouse operation or other science project."

"And you didn't drilled this topic any further?"

"For a sake of not being a hypocrite."

"Aye, fair enough."
