Harriet: Please, nobody could do that.

Harriet said, they were currently moving inside the bullhead. It being ready for liftoff.

Harriet tried shoving Vader forward towards the seat, he only turned and scowled.

Facing the flying city above, he extended both arms. The Ace ops looked at each other questionably, wondering what Vader was doing.

They heard a rumbling and looked up in shock, Atlas was slowly moving towards the ground.

Vader: Now...

Vader shattered his restraints with the force, surprising the Ace ops as Atlas floated back to normal height.

Vader: Let us go see the general.

Vader sat in the bullhead, unmoving with his arms crossed. The Ace ops sat across from him, incredibly tense.

Vader: We have not ascended to the city above, where are we going?

Clover: That's classified.

Vader extended his arm, Clover gulped out of nervousness.

Clover: Fine... we have orders to bring Team RWBY and co. to Atlas.

Vader: Hm. For what reason?

Clover: The General had heard of their endeavors and want to graduate them to fully licensed huntsman. Early.

Vader remained silent, satisfied with the answer.

Pietro: My girl! How is it that you're alive?!

Pyrrha: A-Ah well, M-My death was... greatly exaggerated.

Pietro: This is great! She'll be so happy...

Pyrrha: M-Mr. Polendina?

Pietro: Yes?

Pyrrha: I... I'm sorry about Penny.

Pietro just smiled warmly and waved it off.

Pietro: Don't worry about it, I know it wasn't your fault.

Pyrrha smiled slightly when she heard this, glad to have the man's forgiveness.

Pietro: Well, welcome to the pharmacy! I volunteer to work here when I'm not up there.

Pietro said, pointing upwards to Atlas.

Pietro: I also make small gadgets while down here, like these shoes that make you dance. Would you care to try them on?

Nora pushed past everyone excitedly.

Nora: YES!

Ahsoka: I am sorry to interrupt, but we were wondering. Is it possible for you to help us get to Atlas? We must speak with General Ironwood.

Maul: But there seem to be complications.

Maul said looking out the window, he watched a small fleet of bullheads fly past. Nora crossed her arms out of protest.

Pietro: (coughs) Well, the Fall of Beacon took a toll on all of us. James was no different. I couldn't tell you exactly what it was he saw there, but it changed him. He's...

Qrow: He's scared.

Pietro: Paranoid would be the more appropriate term. You have to understand, it wasn't just the Grimm. Someone completely dismantled Atlas security code, made it their plaything, and made us look like traitors to some, and buffoons to everyone else.

Din: We know... Most of us were there.

Din said, motioning to the younger members of the group. Pyrrha remembering her death vividly.

Pietro: Well, yes. But whoever managed to do that is either a genius or one of our own. I fear the answer maybe both, and so does the general.

Ren: Maybe Atlas isn't as safe as we thought.

Oscar: We came all this way, we still have a mission to complete.

Pyrrha: Yes, we do. I don't want to anger the... person who set us here.

Pyrrha said, carefully wording her words.

Weiss: What does the council -

Weiss was cut off as a crashing noise was heard outside, everyone's attention being drawn when they heard several growls.

Oscar: I guess the city's defenses aren't as strong as we thought.

Nora: Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.

They ran down the street, hearing more growls. An Atlassian knight was thrown their direction, looking towards their attackers, and saw several types of Grimm.

Maul: How did this many get into the city?

Ruby: Doesn't matter! Kill them!

Ruby used her semblance to speed forward, attacking the nearest beowolf with her scythe.

Maul launched himself forward using the force, becoming a blur of red. Oscar trailed behind him, striking Grimm with his cane.

Din swung his rifle forward, taking aim for a second before firing. The bolt disintegrated the Grimm upon impact, letting Ahsoka leap forward and slice with her lightsaber.

The Grimm then all froze in place, this surprised the group, considering a beowolf had leaped forward to attack and was now floating in the air.

The Grimm then disintegrated, The Being walking forward.

The Being: Hello again.

Pyrrha: Hello? Why are you here?

The group turned to face the god, surprised.

The Being: I come with a warning. I have brought Pyrrha Nikos back to life, completely and fully with no catches or setbacks. It is as if she never had left.

Yang: Damn... Wish I knew about you sooner, I would've prayed every day.

The Being seemed to wince at Yang's comment, turning to her.

The Being: Please do not, I find prayers annoying.

The Being: As I was saying, I can only reincarnate a person once... that is my warning.

The Being turned into a bright white light, unfreezing time.

Before the Grimm could attack, a green laser disintegrated one. As the group stared confused, even more, green laser's rained down. Each Grimm facing the same end of incineration.

Once that happened, the alarms stopped and the lights returned to normal. A figure floated down onto the ground, with green jets attached to their feet.

The figure twirls, allowing their hair to dance as the cracked moon behind her shined brightly. Eventually, the figure lands, Ruby gasps as Pietro, and Maria join them outside.

Ruby: Penny...!

Pyrrha: What...?

Pietro: Darling, why don't you say hello to your friends?

Penny turns in the direction of her father's voice, she quickly gains a wide smile on her face as she notices Ruby. Ruby smiles widely as well, putting her weapon away. Penny leaned forward a bit before speaking.

Penny: Sal...

Ruby: Huh?

Penny lowers to one knee as a distant whirring noise is heard.

Penny: U...

Ruby: Uh...

Penny bursts forward gleefully, sprinting towards Ruby at high speed.

Penny: TATIONS!

Penny tackles Ruby in a hug, Pyrrha slowly moves forward. Everybody relaxed and put away their weapons. Penny pops her head back up, Ruby doing the same slowly groaning out of pain.

Penny: It is such a pleasure to see you all again!

Ruby: (shaky voice) Penny, I... I-I thought you...

Pietro: Died? I guess, in a manner of speaking, she did. But we were able to recover her core from Amity Arena once it had made its way back to Atlas. It took some time, but...

Penny: I'm as good as new! Better, even! And now I'm the official protector of the city!...

Penny's voice trailed off when she saw Pyrrha, she gasped in response. Pyrrha winced out of shame, beginning to apologize.

Pyrrha: Penny, I'm deeply sorry abou - !

Penny: PYRRHA!

Penny tackled Pyrrha, cutting her off as they fell to the ground as well.

Penny: I thought you died as well! Were you rebuilt into a robot as well?

Pyrrha lied there stunned, before smiling slightly.

Pyrrha: No Penny, I wasn't.

Penny: Well, (stands back up) It's great to see you again!

Weiss: This is...

Blake: Strangely wholesome...

Yang: (Did The Being bring back Penny as well?)

Penny: Well, the General will be so excited to see all of you! But who are you?

Penny said, pointing to the two force-wielders.

Maul: I am Maul.

Ahsoka: My name is Ahsoka Tano.

Penny's eyes flashed for a moment, before smiling happily.

Penny: Got it! You two are saved to my memory banks!

Penny: Now... I would wish we could catch up, but we'll have to wait for another time!

An Atlesian bullhead floated down to the ground, Penny flew upwards as the doors slowly slid open.

Maul rested a hand on his lightsaber, not knowing if he should be prepared for a fight or not.

Canons began prepping, spheres firing at the group. The kids weren't fast enough to escape the trap, Maul activated his lightsaber slicing his sphere in half.

Ahsoka was trapped as the sphere expanded. Din as well, the Ace ops revealed themselves as they exited the bullhead.

Harriet: What the - ?

A metal foot collided with Harriet's face, knocking her over. Maul twirled his double-bladed lightsaber, slicing Marrow's and Elm's weapons apart. Then force-pushed Vine back into the bullhead.

Vader emerged surprised, turning to Maul.

Vader: Maul? What are you... (see's the spheres) What is the meaning of this Clover?

Vader unclipped his lightsaber, a purple blade extending. Clover pailing in the face as Vader and Maul both turned to him.

Vine struggled and tried activating his semblance. Vader threw his lightsaber at him, stopping the weapon with the force making the blade centimeters from Vine's face.

Vader: Answers... Now.

Clover: The General wanted us to bring them in! We didn't know if they would be relenting or not!

An explosion was heard, as Din exited the damaged sphere. He had planted explosive devices on the wall to be able to escape.

Harriet took advantage of the distracted Vader and Maul, flipping her fists over, she tried charging her semblance.

A yellow bolt collided with her body shattering her Aura. She fell over yelling out of pain.

Clover looked over shocked, seeing Din reloading his pulse rifle. Before turning back to Vader who had his hand extended, using the force Vader knocked Clover unconscious and moved him inside the Bullhead, his lightsaber still near Vine's face.

Vader: Maul, watch these two. I will free the rest of them.

Maul nodded, still having his lightsaber extended toward the two Ace Ops members.

Vader walked out of the bullhead, still controlling the lightsaber with the force. Seeing Din deactivating the sphere nearest him.

Seeing a panel on the side of the cube, he pressed a button deactivating it. The sphere shrunk to reveal a stunned Ruby.

Ruby: Wha?! Oh! Mr. Vader!

Vader: Hello there, could you please help me deactivate these?

Vader said motioning to the spheres around the area. Ruby nodded and sped off, using her semblance.

Vader opened another sphere, freeing Nora. She ran off to free Ren, leaving Vader to open the other spheres.

His eyes widened out of shock, seeing the person in front of him.

Vader: Pyrrha?...

Pyrrha turned and waved at Vader, who still had an expression of shock.

Vader: ...Did he bring you back?

Pyrrha: Yes... He said it was time. I helped fight off Cinder.

This surprised Vader greatly, he had thought she was dead.

Vader: Do not fret, I will be by your side the next time Cinder attacks.

Vader placed a reassuring hand on Pyrrha's shoulder, she smiled as Vader began to walk away.

Vader: I am sure Jaune was overwhelmed?

Pyrrha: Yes... he was very happy.

Vader: That's good to hear... I remember him being devastated.

Pyrrha grew a saddened look, tilting her head to the ground.

Pyrrha: I know... I was there.

Once everyone else was freed, they moved back to the bullhead. Din found the hand-cuffs and attached them to each member.

Vader finally called his lightsaber back, allowing Din to restrain Vine.

Marrow: Why are you doing this? We just wanted to bring you too the general!

Ahsoka: And you thought the best course of action was to capture every single one of us?

Maul: Not a very sound plan, especially since we outnumber you two to one.

Vader: Think of it this way, huntsman. If you had simply asked, we would have complied.

Marrow shut his mouth, Elm and Clover exchanged glances. Harriet just looked pissed as always.

Vader flew the bullhead, the coordinates for the hangar already pre-entered.

Vader: Time to see the general.
