Reptar flew through the air, as Summer slowly started to come to. Everyone was on edge, keeping their weapons on Summer.
"What happened?" asked Summer, "Where's Tai? And Qrow?"
"Ironwood has them," said Dr. Bots.
"I don't believe it," said Weiss, "We helped save the world not once, but twice, and he still acts all paranoid."
Summer then got out her scroll, and dialed a number.
"Who are you calling Mrs. Rose?" asked Pyrrha.
"Ozpin," said Summer, "He needs to know Ironwood's gone rough."
Just then, a voice picked up, saying, "Hello, this is Professor Ozpin."
Ozpin was sipping his coffee, as he heard an all too familiar voice say, "Hello Ozpin. It's me."
Ozpin's eyes went wide, and he spat out his coffee, and it dropped out of his hand. He looked at the number, and asked, "Summer!? Summer Rose!? What the... how!?"
"Well, let me tell you," said Summer, "You remember Dr. Robotnik?"
Summer then explained everything Ironwood did, and how Shadow was meant to be a weapon to defeat Salem.
"I see," said Ozpin, "So, James is... now an enemy?"
"Yes," said Summer, "Just prepare yourself. We're all coming."
"I will," said Ozpin, "It's good to hear from you again Summer."
"You too Ozpin," said Summer, "We'll see you at Beacon."
On Ironwood's Flagship, Tai, Qrow and Winter were in cells, and unable to escape.
"I knew Ironwood was paranoid," said Winter, "I just... never expected him to sink so low. Sending a spy, trying to destroy Shadow, and... what he did to Summer Rose."
"Now you know why I despise him," said Qrow.
"Wait," said Tai, "You knew!?"
"It was by accident," said Qrow, "I didn't mean to find out, and ... let's just say, I'm not allowed to step foot in that Kingdom ever again."
Tai looked down, and said, "Ironwood, I swear, if you lay one finger on my daughters, I will-"
"Mr. Xiao Long," said Ironwood, "They are now with the enemy. They are traitors to Remnant."
"You mean to Atlas," said Winter, "Because someone who is part Grimm is instantly a threat."
Ironwood looked at Winter, and entered her cell.
"I am disappointed in you Specialist," said Ironwood, "I was hoping that you'd stay loyal to Atlas. If you help me capture the Monsters, and keep them locked up, and kill Shadow, I will be willing to let you back into my ranks."
Everyone looked at Winter, and Qrow just expected Winter to join him, seeing that Winter was practically Ironwood's lap dog. However, Winter just socked Ironwood in the jaw, and kicked him out of her cell, saying, "Over my dead body will I ever betray my sister, her friends and those poor people!"
Just then, a disturbance was heard in the main hanger, and the remaining Knights started to go crazy, shooting at all the staff. Ironwood left with all but two men to the hanger. As soon as they were gone and out of earshot, something came, and knocked out the remaining guard with ease.
"Penny?" asked Winter.
"We must go now," said Penny, deactivating the cell walls, "It will not be long before General Ironwood will return."
Everyone was guided by Penny to a Manta, and Winter, with her experience, managed to sneak away from the fleet, undetected.
At Beacon, Reptar landed at the landing pad, and let out a roar. All the students were freaking out, until they realized they were the monsters that saved the world. Down in front, was Ozpin and Goodwitch, who were happy to see them all again.
"Hello again," said Ozpin, "Thank you all for coming. This way to the medical facility. Summer, we will do everything to create a counter measure to James' virus."
"Thank you Oz," said Summer, "And hi again Glynda."
Glynda smiled at her old friend, and the Monsters, Team RWBY and JNPR all headed to the dining room. Ruby just barley fit in through the doors, and sat down.
"I got to say," said Ruby, "It's weird being back here."
"I know," said Yang, "Seems like yesterday that we were here."
Bendy wandered off into the kitchen, and found food. Dr. Bots was replacing Mater's broken lights after he was tossed on his roof.
"I'm looking back on this with bitter sweetness," said Weiss.
"Why?" asked Blake.
"Well," said Weiss, "We were looked at as the top team here, and just look at where we are now. We're almost fugitives now."
"It's not our fault," said Ruby.
"No, it's mine," said Shadow.
"Shadow," said Yang, "never blame yourself for what's going on. You were used to help save mom, and that is a forever debt to us."
"Yeah," said Mater, "Besides, you knew instantly the difference from right and wrong after our first encounter."
"Although," said Gerald, "It could've been a bit too morbid."
Shadow just punched Gerald in the gut.
In the medical center, Ozpin said, "It will only be a few minutes Summer, and then you'll have the counter code in your mind."
"Thank you Ozpin," said Summer.
Summer was then knocked out, and they started the procedure. After a few minutes, Summer came to, and saw Ozpin.
"Mrs. Rose," said Ozpin, "Do you know the code to activate the 'Winter Soldier'?"
"I remember a few things," said Summer, "And, I'll try my best."
Summer wrote down the code to the best of her abilities to remember, and handed it to Ozpin. Summer was then strapped down to a chair, and Ozpin said, "It's just a precaution."
"I understand," said Summer.
Ozpin looked at the paper, and read, "Winter, Longing, Five, Eight, Hive..."
Summer started to scream in pain, as she thrashed in her chair the best she could while strapped down.
"... Atlas, Second, Soldier, Activate."
Summer then calmed down, with a static look on her face, as she said, "Ready to comply."
"Summer," said Ozpin.
Summer's face then bore life, and said, "It works."
"Good," said Ozpin, "Now, to deal with James."
The monsters were currently looking out at Vale, and Summer walked up to them, saying, "It's in. The counter code is Summer."
"Perfect," said Shadow, "Which is good. We've got troubles."
A large ship landed before them, and Ironwood stepped out with the Ace Ops.
