The next day at Beacon Academy a large and unnerving ship as it descends upon a landing pad. Two Bullheads fly by. At the top of a tower veiled behind clouds. Ozpin and Glynda can be seen through the window into Ozpin's office.

Glynda: Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels.

Ozpin: Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man.

Three more Bullheads fly in.

Ozpin: But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore.

A chirping beep sounds repeatedly. Ozpin turns to see a hollow-message "Access Requested" on his desk.

Ozpin: Come in.

The doors slide open to reveal Ironwood as Ozpin approaches to greet him.

Ironwood: (cordially) Ozpin!

Ozpin stands at attention.

Ozpin: Hello, General.

Ironwood: Please, drop the formalities.

Both approach and shake hands as Glynda also approaches.

Ironwood: It's been too long. And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met.

Glynda: Oh, James!

Glynda gives Ironwood a personable wave and then drops all pleasantries.

Glynda: I'll be outside.

Glynda walks away and leaves Ozpin's office.

Glynda: 'I got to give my weekly information on Ozpin to king David.'

Ozpin turns to his desk.

Ozpin: So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas?

Ozpin picks up a mug and a kettle, pouring as he speaks.

Ozpin: Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival.

Ozpin turns and offers the cup to Ironwood.

Ironwood: Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year.

Ironwood produces a canteen from his inside coat pocket and pours its contents into his mug.

Ironwood: Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up and I want to know about why a traitor of Atlas and my stolen assassin android is here in Beacon?

Ozpin walks around to his desk, kettle and a new mug in hand. Ozpin sits and pours himself some coffee.

Ozpin: I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however, a small fleet outside my window has me concerned and I'm keeping a close eye on team MCHI but for some reason they keep slipping from me.

Ironwood: Well, concern is what brought them here.

Ozpin: I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult.

Ironwood: Oz, you and I both know why I brought those men and what about this hidden kingdom that we have been trying to look for?

Ozpin: I think I might of found it but it's not time yet.

Ironwood: What are you not telling me Oz. We both agreed that we would take over that kingdom together!

Ozpin: I know James and I'm sorry I never meant to hide any information about the place we are looking for but lately I have been feeling like someone here is spying on me I'm starting to think on who to trust.

Ironwood: And who are the people that you trust?

Ozpin: You, Glynda, and Qrow. Speaking of Qrow I sent him on a mission to see if I really did find the hidden kingdom.

With RWBY, JNPR, and MCHI

In the Beacon Academy library, Team RWBY are shown playing Remnant: The Game.

Ruby: Hmmmmm... All right... All right!

Ruby points at Yang.

Ruby: Yang Xiao Long, prepare your kingdom for battle!

Yang is thrusting her elbow down as she balls her fist.

Yang: Bring it on!

Ruby: I deploy the Atlesian Air Fleet!

Ruby slaps her card down on the table. Yang feigns a look of shock.

Ruby: Looks like I get to fly right over your Ursai and attack your walls directly!

Ruby is making noises like airplanes flying and bombing as she makes a bird with her hands. Yang is feigning indignance as she points at Ruby.

Yang: You fiend!

Ruby is now ducked at one end of the table. The camera zooms across the table to show the board and its player pieces in detail.

Ruby: And since Atlas is part of Mantle, my repair time is only one turn.

Ruby peaks her head up. She gives a look of surprise. Yang is laughing arrogantly while raising a card up.

Yang: Pretty sneaky, sis, but you just activated my trap card!

Ruby is visibly disturbed.

Ruby: Whaaat?!

Yang: Giant Nevermore!

Yang slams the card down on the table.

Yang: If I roll a seven or higher, fatal feathers will slice your fleet in two!

A Nevermore flying over a field of swords impaled in the ground plays over the conversation. Ruby points at Yang.

Ruby: But, if you roll a six or lower, the Nevermore will turn on your own forces!

The Nevermore is shown to be turning back toward Yang.

Yang: That's just a chance I'm willing to take.

The two glare at each other. Yang is heard shouting triumphantly. Team JNPR and MCHI are shown as Yang and Ruby banter on about the game. Ren and Pyrrha are studying while Habib is resting his head on Pyrrha's shoulder, Mando and Cara are doing their homework, and Nora's snot bubble inflates and deflates as she sleeps.

Ruby: Nooooo!!! My fearless soldiers!

Yang: Eh, most of them were probably androids.

Ruby: Goodbye my friends, you will be avenged.

Yang: Not until I draw my rewards! Which are double this round thanks to the Mistral Trade Route!

Ruby: Bah!

Nora snores and talks in her sleep.

Nora: Oh. Have pancakes.

Yang: Oh, and what's this? The Smugglers of Wind Path?

Pyrrha clears her throat and then confiscates a comic book Jaune is reading while trading it for a textbook. Pyrrha starts playing with Habib's hair.

Ruby: Bah! Bah, I say!

Yang: I say, it looks like I'm taking two cards in my hand!

As Pyrrha reads Jaune's comic and plays with Habib's hair while he sleeps, a Nevermore player piece is tossed over Jaune's shoulder. Another piece bounces off of his head.

Ruby: Have you no heart?

Ruby collapses on the table, groaning.

Ruby: Nooo!
