Halo, it's time for the newes chapter. Enjoy the reading.


- Tyrion Callows, you are under arrest! - Clover warned the scorpion faunus.

Tyrion just started laughing maniacally, not caring about being outnumbered by Clover, Qrow and Robyn, who had absolutely no plans to let him go.

Qrow was enraged by the laughter of this madman, he didn't even wait for his answer, he just held up Harbinger and attacked him. Tyrion parried the first blow with the blades on his wrist and ducked away from the second and tried to counterattack the hooked Qrow with his mechanical tail.

He began to attack Qrow wildly, who was forced to defend himself, but only for a short time, because he aimed a powerful cut at him, which he dodged, then Tyrion took the initiative again, jumped towards him and attacked, but Qrow also dodged this and then swished back, which Tyrion dodged.

Tyrion went on the attack again and Qrow was forced to defend again until Clover hooked the Kingfisher's hook into his left blade and pulled back, Robyn shot another arrow at him which he caught with his right hand but still stopped inches from his eyes and still but Qrow punched him in the face.

Qrow followed up with hand to hand combat, kneeing him in the stomach, then using Harbinger's pommel to hit Tyrion in the chest, who jumped back. Tyrion was angry, these three Hunters were making it very difficult for him, but he didn't give up and grinned again.

He pulled out his submachine guns from his wristband and fired at Qrow, which he blocked with Harbinger, but this was only to buy time while he ran towards Clover. He charged at Clover, but he dodged his blow, but it didn't deter him and charged at him with his stinger, which he parried with Kingfisher, but this gave Tyrion the opportunity to turn around and continue attacking Clover with his blades.

Clover dodged the blows, slipped under Tyrion's weapon, released Kingfisher's hook, caught Tyrion's left arm and pulled him back. The faunus man tried to elbow the captain, but Qrow attacked again and Tyrion was forced to defend with his right blade.

Tyrion's left arm was held by Clover as he tried to push Harbinger's blade back with his right arm. He didn't let go, he pushed himself into the air with his mechanical tail and, accompanied by a backflip, kicked the two men in the face with his two legs, which caused them to let go.

Tyrion continued to fight, leaping onto the window ledge of one of the buildings, but Robyn shot another arrow at him, which he blocked with his tail. Tyrion targeted Robyn this time, but Kingfisher's hook caught in his tail and Clover pulled him to the ground and Qrow prepared to deliver the final blow, but Tyrion somersaulted backwards and was forced to constantly defend. He kept dodging Harbinger's blade, but on one occasion, Qrow tossed him into the air and while Tyrion's attention was fixed on the sword, Qrow delivered another punch into his face, sending him crashing to the wall.

Tyrion's eyes turned purple for a moment and grew angrier as he dodged Qrow's next strike. Qrow had already transformed Harbinger into a scythe and continued the fight, but Clover hooked Kingfisher's hook on Tyrion's tail again and pulled another one and Qrow hit him in the face with his fist again, causing him to fall backwards but stayed on his feet.

As Tyrion's blades and the Harbinger clashed again, Robyn fired again, this time firing two arrows, but not at Tyrion, the first arrow at a trash can, the second at a windowsill, where they bounced off. The first one whizzed past Tyrion's head, while the second bounced off Harbinger again, straight at Tyrion, which hit him.

The hit gave Qrow a chance to dominate the fight, but Tyrion dodged his blows again, leaping up into the air, only to be kicked by Qrow and followed up with a shot from his scythe rifle. Tyrion tried to counterattack, but Qrow parried the attacks, forcing Tyrion to retreat.

Clover tried to attack him from behind, he started to wrap it around with Kingfisher's fishing line, he managed to catch his left hand, but Tyrion tried to land a blow with his right hand, but Clover caught him and started to wrap Tyrion's whole body with the line, then Qrow punched him in the stomach.

Tyrion had had enough, his madness and rage had fully taken over him so much that he was able to break free from Clover's grip and unwrap Kingfisher's line from him. Then, like someone who had lost all of his sanity, he started laughing again, his eyes rolling back and forth like someone who was out of his mind and just couldn't stop laughing. He laughed so loudly and forcefully that Robyn aimed for his mouth and shot another arrow at him.

Tyrion caught the arrow with his mouth this time, but a faint beep and red lights on the arrow indicated that it was indeed a bomb that exploded right in his mouth.

As soon as the flame and smoke of the explosion cleared, Tyrion was still on his feet, but a purple flash around his body indicated that his aura was depleted, he was out of himself and like someone who had been hit in the head, he wobbled helplessly for a bit, then fell to the ground with a pleasant smile. He looked up at the pacing Robyn and was still laughing until Robyn kicked him in the face with her boot, knocking him unconscious.

- Where's your smile now? - Robyn told him, satisfied with herself, as she was happy that she could finally take revenge on this madman.

Clover and Qrow just watched in amazement at how cruel the always kind and joking Robyn was now. Qrow admired Robyn and smiled pleasantly when he looked at her.

- What? - Robyn noticed that Qrow was just staring at her for a while.

- Nothing, - Qrow just smiled and shrugged. - you just remind me of an old... - As he looked at Robyn, he realized how much she reminded him of Summer. - friend.

- This is Clover, - Clover gave instructions on his radio. - I need a prisoner transporter to my position.


Sneaking into the Atlas academy was child's play in the chaos, Cinder skillfully sneaked between the vehicles, Dust containers and ammo boxes while the Atlasian soldiers ran in and out of the academy to get equipment or transport the wounded ones.

Cinder was almost inside the academy when she looked back at Genna on one of the landing zone, hiding behind a damaged plane awaiting repair. Cinder gave her a confident nod, indicating how much she surpassed the big, armored woman, who put her helmet on.

Genna noticed this, pressed a few buttons on the computer built into the left gauntlet, before a cloaking field covered her entire body and she became invisible. Then she crept along as quietly as she could without any trouble. Luckily for her, the noise of the planes taking off and landing and the sirens drowned out all the noise and got to Cinder.

- Useful gadget. - Cinder had to acknowledge Genna's performance.

- Sorry fo-wah late, - Genna turned off her cloaking field. - aber ada amburi azsutel. - Cinder didn't understand much of it, but when Genna showed her an officer's license card, she pretty much understood what she was saying.

- Excellent. - Cinder took the card and used it to open the back entrance of the academy, which was left empty and unguarded.

They both made it into the academy, Cinder sneaking in the shadows while Genna moved forward with her cloaking field back on, avoiding surveillance cameras and possible patrols.

- What's the plan? - Genna asked. - Ya penelted ar na know where is en Maiden.

- I actually don't know. - Cinder answered with a smile.

- Than, kay were ya zsavunking about? - Genna was a little confused, they didn't have much time and if they stay long they will be discovered.

- We'll get the general to show it. - Cinder stopped in front of Ironwood's office.

- What?! - Genna shook her head in confusion. - How?

- With this. - After Cinder opened the door to the empty office, she summoned a black glass queen figure into her right hand.

- It's... - Genne's eyes wandered back and forth between the glass chess piece and Cinder. - gonna give a silalo shake to his bunny slapa.

Cinder didn't say anything, she just put the chess piece on the general's table and went back to the exit.

- Come on. - She instructed Genna, who simply didn't understand the plan.

- Szokeresz?! We should stay he-yah 'n wait!

- Would you keep quiet and do as I say? - Cinder started to get annoyed by Genna's incomprehension. - I told you, the general is like his robots.


As the army and the Hunters pushed the Grimm further and further out of the Mantle, Ironwood became more and more relaxed and relieved. He was so focused on the city map that he didn't hear or see anything other than the digital map.

- Tyrion Callows has been taken into custody. - Heard Clover on the radio. - We are just now delivering it to the academy.

- Excellent work. - Ironwood's last doubt disappeared and he felt relieved for the first time in a long time.

Two of Salem's men, Tyrion and Watts, are in custody and the Grimm horde will soon be repelled. Finally, he turned away from the map for a while and headed for his office to sit down and rest.

When he entered the office door, he saw something that froze his blood in his veins and he immediately reached for his radio in his ear.

- Schnee! - He immediately called Winter.

- Yes, sir? - The woman answered immediately.

- Did anyone try to get into the basement of the academy while I was running the army? - Ironwood knew that Salem's primary target was the relic, the Staff of Creation that could only be obtained by the Winter Maiden.

- N... no. - Winter wasn't confident and she was also worried.

- Are you sure? - Ironwood also felt the doubt in the woman's voice. - Go now and get the power. Don't delay! - The general was terrified and issued a new order to the army and the Hunters. - Attention, to all units, urgently stop all combat and evacuation processes and return to the academy as soon as possible. - He opened another channel to talk to someone else. - Penny, you go immediately to the Winter Maiden and protect Winter until she gets the Maiden's power from anyone who might pose a threat to her.

- Confirmed. - The robot girl answered.


Hiding in a classroom, Genna and Cinder just watched the crowd of soldiers swarming the academy's main square, like an anthill.

- Look. - Cinder spotted someone in the crowd who wasn't behaving the way they should. - The general found my present.

- Her? - Genna also noticed and checked with her rifle's scope at Winter, who was running nervously and worried.

- If you want to catch the prey, - Cinder explained. - don't follow the hunter. Follow his dog. - She had been waiting for this moment for two months since they arrived in Atlas. - Now, - She stared at Winter like a predator on its prey. - show me where you hide it.


Well, that's what I call a productive day! - Roman felt in his best as he led the Happy Huntresses and the people of Mantle. - It's already in our pocket. - It's been a long time since Neo saw Roman this happy.

The Grimms began to dwindle and more and more of the city became safe.

- The end is far from over. - May didn't want to be overconfident, but she was glad too.

- Hey, what's that?! - Joanna spotted something in the distance.

- What are they doing?! - Roman also noticed that the Atlas soldiers started leaving their positions, getting into their planes and leaving Mantle. - The battle isn't over yet!

- What happened? - Fiona was just as confused.

- I'll go and ask. - Roman angrily blocked the path of a group of retreating soldiers. - Hey, you! The Grimms who want to destroy the city, - He pointed forward, behind the soldiers. - are there!

- We have been ordered to retreat immediately! - The platoon leader answered.

- What?! - Roman could hardly believe his ears. - On whose orders?!

- General Ironwood! - The soldiers pointed their weapons at them. - Stand aside or we will be forced to use violence!

- Listen here, - Roman raised and aimed Melodic Cludgel at them, Neo and the Happy Huntresses did the same. - either you turn back and keep fighting or we will finish you off here and now!

Suddenly they heard a metallic thud, the source of which was two approaching Paladins pointing their weapons at them.

- Ours are bigger. - The soldier smiled confidently.

- You should protect the people! - Fiona shouted, her eyes zigzagged between the soldiers and her friends in confusion.

No one reacted to Fiona's outburst, Roman realized that against two Paladins and a platoon of soldiers, even with Neo and the Huntresses, they had no chance. They had to lower the weapon and let the soldiers through.

- And the evacuation?! - Roman added him to the soldiers.

- We'll stop that too. - The soldier answered. - The General's order.

"The General's order.", Mantle's bewildered residents couldn't help listening to this sentence when the army decided to retreat and stop the evacuation process already at the gate of victory.

They were suddenly deprived of the hope they had suddenly received, this resulted in greater fear and anger for the residents of Mantle, which caused the Grimms, who had been pushed back until now, to fight again and began to push towards the city again.


The Hunters also returned on the retreating transporters, including Team RWBY, JNR and LLMM.

- I don't understand, - Weiss just looked out of the window of the plane in bewilderment. - why did the general call us back without any reason?

- Especially since the evacuation is still going on in Mantle. - Ren said.

- That makes no sense. - Lance just shook his head.

- You don't need to understand the commands, kids. - Elm, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, explained. - You just have to follow them.

- Civillian transport won't stop in the future. - Harriet, who was driving the plane, answered. - If the general says he needs us now, then he needs us now.

- You go to the general and find out what is going on here. - Jaune suggested to Team RWBY. - We and the LLMM will go and meet with Oscar.

Ironwood's office was dark with the lights off when RWBY and the Ace Ops arrived.

- General Ironwood? - Harriet asked worriedly and curiously. The general, who had been sitting in his swivel chair, silently, now turned around. His face was hard and stern.

- We made a critical mistake. - The general placed a black queen chess piece on the table. He'd been confronted by many things in his life, Grimms, robots and criminals, but none of them scared him more than that tiny chess piece. - The Black Queen was the symbol that Salem showed before we lost everything. He rubbed his forehead nervously. - That's how she revealed that she was there and then it was too late. - He looked at the suitcase on the table, which he confiscated from Watts and made sure several times that the scientist was in a cell and Tyrion would soon join him. - We stopped Watts. We stopped Callows, but someone was here. - He pointed at the table, angry and terrified. - Someone put this in my office to tell me that... - He suddenly came to his senses and looked out the window at Mantle in alarm. - What if Mantle was just a diversion?! What if they just wanted to lure us out of the academy to... to...

- Sir! - It was Weiss who spoke up from the concerned group. - Everything will be fine. Mantle is now on our side and...

- How do we know this isn't part of their plan?! - The general interrupted him. - How do we know, - He slapped the table and stood up. - that it wasn't their plan to bring thousands of people here?!

- While we're trying to save everyone, - Vine saw through the general's reasoning. - we made ourselves vulnerable.

- Salem was one step ahead of us the whole time! - Ironwood hit the table with his fist, which cracked it and the chess piece fell on it.

- It's... - Ruby was familiar with the material from which the figurine was made. - glass. - All eyes are on her, because she knows exactly who put it here. - Black glass. It was Cinder.

- She's alive?! - Yang could hardly believe her ears. - And she's here?!

- If Cinder is here, then Hazel can be here too! - Ironwood began to panic.

- Sir, you are right that this isn't over yet -. Blake stepped forward. - But we are with you. - She assured him.

- Are you? - The general looked up suspiciously and stared hostilely at the four girls.

- Sir? - Vine and the rest of the Ace Ops looked a little confused at their superior, while Blake just backed away.

- How did Robyn know about the existence of Salem and the Global Communication Project? - Ironwood grew more and more suspicious and the Ace Ops also started to share the general's suspicions.

- Roman must have told her about Salem. - Ruby guessed. - But he couldn't have known about the project.

- We... - Yang and Blake looked at each other nervously before Yang told the truth. - we told her. - The general's eyes widened angrily. - While we had to supervise the construction.

- What did you do?! - Elm hardly wanted to understand that the two girls had committed such a level of treason.

- We tried to help! - Yang stood by their decision.

- By acting behind our back?! - Marrow wasn't thrilled either.

- And what about your friend Torchwick? - Harriet stood in front of Ruby.

- He's with us! - Ruby stood up for Roman. - He caught Watts and it turned out that Neo also helped us!

- We can't know for sure! - Interjected Ironwood. - How do we know they are no longer loyal to Salem?! What if this is just another trick on his part?! To earn our trust?!

- This makes no sense! - Weiss stopped him. - It doesn't matter anymore!

- LOYALTY'S ALWAYS MATTER! - But the general didn't stop and screamed at the top of his voice.

Suddenly, a pile of red tentacle-like arms appeared from Watts' suitcase, ending in spikes to open it and a floating black crystal ball in the shape of a death's head jumped out of it, the ball had several Grimm mask-like bones, spikes at the bottom they lined up and it spun for a while, then it stopped in the air and cast a red light everywhere. Everyone stared in horror at the terrifying and unknown relic as it ascended higher and higher in the office.

- General Ironwood. - A woman's voice spoke from it, which was as cold as ice and full of evil, as well as darkness.

The crystal ball's tentacles curled up, the ball shaking and cracking like an egg about to hatch. Terrified, the general leveled both pistols at it and took a few steps back, but as soon as he reached the window, he stopped.

Suddenly, the orb's red light went out, its tentacles relaxed and retracted, then fell to the ground and rolled into the middle of the office. Black smoke was pouring out through the cracks and spreading throughout the office, but it wasn't poison.

- The brave Hunters and Huntresses who surpassed Arthur Watts. - A female figure floated out of the smoke, her dark evening was as if she covered her body with a shadow, she wore a black cloak on her back, which also seemed to be made of darkness. Her skin was pale, no, it was white as lime, but her arms had red lines like blood vessels, she wore her long, white hair in a huge bun, but from what looked like spider legs six, smaller, but a longer bun. Her eyes were red, like blood, but the whites were actually black, a tiny black gem was embedded in his forehead, and the same red vein-like lines running from her temples to her chin were the same as her arms. Her voice was calm, but still, it sounded terrifying. It was clearly just an illusion or just a reflection, but it was still enough to make anyone's blood run cold. - Congratulations.

- We stopped Tyrion too. - Added Ruby, who knew exactly who she was talking to and bravely faced Salem's gaze. - And we'll stop Cinder and everyone else you'll send here.

- My dear girl, - Salem replied, as if she were teaching a child. - their goal was never to win. - Her gaze shifted to Ironwood. - They only prepared the stage.

- For what? - Ironwood still pointed his pistols at him. Salem just smiled, seeing through the general perfectly, he wasn't the first cruel leader who would sacrifice anything to stop her.

- For me. - Salem's reflection hovered closer to the general. - Time is not on your side, James. It's always on mine. - Ironwood stared with wide eyes and open mouth at this... creature, which was clearly not human and to the best of his knowledge, there was no weapon that could destroy it. - The people of Atlas have suffered enough. Give me the Staff and the Lamp and they will suffer no more.

This... - The general just froze and he could hardly find words in his fear. - won't happen.

Salem was already hovering there, right in front of the general, leaning forward so her face was right in front of his.

- Just accept the hopelessness of the situation. - Salem just smiled gently at the general, which frightened him much more. - And it will be over very soon.

- We've seen what you're capable of. - Ruby, who wasn't frightened by the witch and bravely stood up. - The Lamp showed us. - The smile faded from Salem's face and she stood up from the general. - It showed us everything. - Salem turned to Team RWBY. - We know you can't be killed. But we also know that you can fail. - Salem slowly began to approach, straight towards Ruby. - We don't have to kill you to stop you. - Ruby held Salem's gaze firmly. - And we will stop you. You can bet on that. - Salem was already hovering in front of Ruby and after a short silence she said something that scared Ruby.

- Your mother told me the same exact thing. - Ruby was suddenly confused and remembered her mother, Summer, the last time she saw her.

- My... mother? - Ruby began to breathe heavily and tears began to gather in her eyes.

- She was wrong too. - Salem assured.

Ruby couldn't take it anymore, tears started to flow from her eyes, she knew that Salem was the one who took her mother away from her and everything she believed was a lie. Her eyes flashed for a moment and she fell to her knees in confusion and began to sob. Yang quickly ran to her sister and hugged her.

Salem's reflection vanished like a ghost, leaving nothing but fear and doubt.

- Is that Salem?! - Marrow was the first to break the silence. - Is this what we're up against?!

- And it looks like she's on her way. - Harriet found out.

- But... we would be warned if any force approached the kingdom! - Elm could hardly believe it either. - We have a long-term monitoring and warning system along the coast and...

- They're all turned off. - Vine interrupted her. - We didn't even notice it in this chaos.

- Watts must have turned them off! - Marrow was sure of it.

- And they have already been destroyed. - This sentence of the general resulted in stunned silence in the office. He paced silently and looked out the window to survey the horizon.

- But... - Elm thought it was unimaginable. - all of them?

- You said in your speech that the Amity tower was ready to be launched. - Blake reminded him. - Was it true?

- You held Robyn's hand all the way. - Yang remembered Robyn's Semblance, the Lie Detector. - It was green all the time.

- Yes, for the launch, but the tower itself isn't ready yet. - Ironwood explained. - I originally intended to use it as a bait to catch Watts, but Torchwick got ahead of me so it wasn't necessary.

- General Ironwood? - Weiss worried and Blake and Yang stared at the general angrily.

- I sent your sister to get the power of Winter Maiden. - The general replied sternly, which terrified Team RWBY.

- What?!

- When I realized how much danger we were in, - The general only tightened his pistol. - I knew we couldn't wait any longer. The Staff and the Lamp must be closed.

- But... - Ruby, finally recovering from her sobs, wiped away a tear and sat up. - you said we can keep it.

- Well, - Ironwood couldn't help reminding her how much Team RWBY kept from him and what they did behind his back. - that was before you lied to me about the Lamp and Robyn. Before it was revealed that Salem is immortal and she's approaching our doorstep! Before Mantle was nearly destroyed and my army was exhausted! - He angrily knocked Watts' suitcase off the table. The General was fed up with all the betrayals and lies he had to put up with from Team RWBY, a bunch of kids who think they know better than what should be done. He already fought against Salem when they were born, so they want to tell him what to do. - Things have changed. - He put the pistol on the table and picked up the black queen. - Accordingly, we must also change our priorities.

- What are your orders, sir? - Harriet just pulled herself out.

- We'll take the Amity Tower plans, - He crushed the chess piece. - and we use it in the city of Atlas.

- What?! - Ruby jumped up in alarm.

- Originally, it was Oz's plan in a previous life. - The general scattered the remains of the glass piece on the ground. - But he didn't carry it out. - Team RWBY was getting more and more afraid of what the general was up to. - If we use the power of the Staff and lift ourselves above the atmosphere, the city's artificial climate, residents and food supply will remain intact. Far from anything Salem could send after us.

- But we haven't evacuated everyone yet! - Blake asked. - Would you let Mantle perish?!

- Yes. - Ironwood answered so simply. - I would. - Team RWBY no longer trusted the general who would let thousands of innocent people die to save his own skin. - We can't let Salem get the relics. This is our best chance to put the Staff, the Lamp and the Maiden as far away from her as possible.

- But... - Ruby could hardly believe her ears. - we still have a chance to unite the world. If we launch the tower, we could all be reunited, you said that. We could call for help. If we could hold out long enough to...

- Sometimes, - Ironwood interrupted. - for the sake of the right thing, difficult decisions must be made.

- You're right. - Blake said angrily. - I believe that the right decision would be to stand and fight!

- Me too! - Yang agreed.

- Me too. - Weiss too.

- Me too. - Ruby didn't back down either.

The general's face was as hard and stern as ever. Ruby looked over the faces of the members of the Ace Ops and their stern looks suggested that they were on the general's side.

- Tonight we went all out and exhausted ourselves, as did the army, to save Mantle. - Harriet concluded. - If we were to try again against a greater force...

- But you are Hunters and Huntresses! - Yang interrupted her. - You can't turn your back on the fight! We'd have time to prepare and...

- We can't focus on one battle, - Vine interrupted her. - if we have to win a war.

- And what will the Council say about this?! - Weiss tried to reason.

- Nothing. - Ironwood swept away Weiss's argument with a single sentence. - As soon as I order the martial law, they will have nothing to say.

- No... - That's what they feared the most, that Ironwood would declare martial law, not caring about the people he was supposed to protect.

- And what about Robyn?! - Blake tried to convince him. - Her Huntresses?!

- And Roman and Neo?! - Ruby was worried.

- Who exactly are you loyal to? - Elm wanted to clarify, because the border between enemy and friend was a bit blurred.

- To the people, - Ruby snapped. - who are counting on us to save them!

- We save whoever we can. - The general answered, and Ruby looked at him worriedly. - And now you are standing in the way. - It's clear, the general offered an ultimatum, team RWBY either leave Mantle behind and join him, or they'll be arrested.

- Roman was right about you. - Ruby whispered to herself. - As soon as it's not in your interest to help others, you'll surely turn your back on them. - She looked up and glared angrily at the general, who didn't budge at all.

Suddenly, Ruby's Scroll rang and it automatically answered the call.

- It's Jaune, we have a serious problem! - Jaune spoke on the other side.

Ruby would have liked to pick it up, but remembered that Ironwood was still waiting for a response to his ultimatum. There was a tense silence, both the general and Ruby staring at each other with nerves on edge, but Ruby stepped first.

With her Semblance, she quickly got behind Ironwood's desk, picked up the Scroll and tried to warn her friends as fast as she could.

- IRONWOOD'S DECLARES MARTIAL LAW AND LEAVES MANTLE BEHIND! SALEM'S ON THE WAY AND HE WANTS TO USE THE STAFF TO RAISE ATLAS! IF WE DON'T STOP HIM, MANTLE WILL BE DESTROYED! - Suddenly, the transmission was blocked. - What?! No!

Ironwood took out his own Scroll and turned off all Scroll transmissions except those of his men.

- I'm sorry it turned out this way, - The general was disappointed by Team RWBY's response. - but until Atlas and the relics are safe, you are all under arrest.

- We won't let you to arrest us! - Ruby nailed it and her team thought exactly the same thing.

The General headed for the exit of the office and stood between the Ace Ops and Team RWBY with the intention of protecting the General. Even at the cost of a fight.

- I know. - Ironwood took one last look at the girls before leaving the office for good.

Team RWBY and the Ace Ops were left alone and it was clear that none of them planned to back down.


- Ruby, are you there?! - Jaune was completely shocked by Ruby's message, but seeing his Scroll's screen, it was clear that the network was down. - Ruby?!

- Did you tell them? - Nora asked worriedly.

The JNR and LLMM team members made it to the academy, all the way to Oscar's room, but neither the boy nor the relic were nowhere to be found. Instead, they found a pile of broken robots and a few dead soldiers.

- Is it familiar to you? - Lance pulled an arrow from a broken robot.

- Isn't it... - Mike's eyes widened when he saw the arrow.
