The Grimm knights awoke, seeing themselves chained to tables.

Geist:

Salem: Ah, you're awake.

The rest of the knights stirred, sitting up to look at their Queen.

Geist:

Salem: There will be no need, I know why.

The knights visibly relaxed.

Salem: You were weak.

Salem raised her hand, a red orb forming. The knights roared out of pain as tendrils from the red ball stabbed into their chests.

Salem: While it was part of my foolishness allowing you too take on Vader and his team. You severely disappointed me with your performance.

Geist listened to his teams cries of pain, trying to talk some reason into their Queen.

Geist:

Salem: I know you will not... your lifeforce depends on it.

Salem dispersed the red orb, The knights sagging out of relief.

Salem: You will prove yourself, make your way back to the castle. I will be testing you along the way.

With that, Salem turned and her image dissipated. She hadn't been there in person.

Their chains dissolved, freeing the Knights of Grimm. They stood, finding their weapons inside the room.

Lancer: (in Grimm)

Geist:

Tank:

They all nodded in agreement, the three knights found their weapon, Slicer still had his fused to his body.

They found a crude doorway, they weren't being kept in the main castle.

As they stepped outside, they looked around their surroundings, an army of Grimm looked back.

Geist: (loads bullet)

As the group flew, they took the moment to rest, recharging their Aura if needed.

Vader took the moment to reflect on the last time he was at Atlas, it didn't end well.

Behind him, each of them sat with their partners, excluding Maria.

Maul sat next to Oscar, they had learned that a force bond was placed in between the two of them. Oscar had passed out on the long ride, while Maul was meditating.

Yang and Blake sat together, their expressions relaxed incredibly after the death of Adam Taurus. They leaned on each other, lightly sleeping.

Weiss and Ruby were similar, Ruby had been slightly injured in the fight against the Grimm. Weiss refusing to leave her side, both were asleep as well Ruby laying down on Weiss's lap.

Ren and Nora had fallen asleep as well. Ren barely moved as Nora climbed onto his lap in her sleep, eventually resting her head against his chest.

Jaune sat alone, the spirit of Pyrrha comforting him.

Ahsoka sat on her own chair, meditating. Din sat next to her, his helmet dipping slightly. If you listened closely you could hear him snoring. Ahsoka questioned these strange feelings she was experiencing, looking at the sleeping Mandalorian.

The bullhead experienced some turbulence, shaking the ship slightly and awaking the sleeping people inside.

The Being: Good, you're all awake.

Everyone jumped at the sudden appearance of a god within their bullhead.

Jaune: W-Why are you here?

The Being: I have discovered something that I wish to share with you.

Vader: Is it about Pyrrha?

Jaune tensed when Vader said this, awaiting The Beings response.

The Being: ...Yes, it does.

The Being tightened his tie, before walking over to Jaune. He placed his hand on an invisible figure, a red light shining.

The red light was revealed to be Pyrrha's spirit, The Being kept his hand on her shoulder as he spoke.

The Being: I have discovered a loop hole of sorts. When I reincarnated you four on this planet, (motions at Vader, Ahsoka, Din, and Maul) the brothers didn't notice because you weren't born here. They only discovered you because they actively looked.

The Being: The problem, is that Pyrrha was born here.

The Being was silent, allowing the information to sink into the entire group.

Jaune: So that's it then? You can't bring Pyrrha back without angering the gods?!

His anger was apparent within his voice, he stood up to confront the god.

The Being: Of course I can bring Pyrrha back... it's the consequence that will be bad.

The Being: Since I did not allow Pyrrha's spirit to pass towards the other side, they will not know that someone has come back to life until they view the planet.

Weiss: And how long will that be?

The Being: It is difficult to pinpoint an exact time. While the god of Darkness will not look at Remnant, the god of light occasionally does. Whether it be days, weeks, months, or even a millennia, he will look upon this planet eventually.

The Being removed his hand from Pyrrha, still visible.

The Being: Until I can gather more information, I will make Pyrrha visible.

The Being turned from the group, his body disintegrating. Pyrrha looked down at her hands, before looking up at her friends and teammates.

Pyrrha: Hello again!

As Vader flew towards Atlas, he had a smile on his face.

That smile quickly faltered, however when he saw the amount of forces surrounding the flying city.

Din: We... should not run that blockade.

Vader: I agree.

Yang: Where do we go then?

Maria: I have a place...

Maria told them about the pharmacy in Mantle where they would be safe for the time being, since it wouldn't be wise flying a stolen bullhead through.

Vader nodded and brought the bullhead around, lowering it towards the city below.

Once they did that however, Vader stood from his seat and walked towards the door.

Ruby: Where are you going?

Vader: I am a liability, I will only be endangering the group.

Vader turned to Qrow, putting his helmet on.

Vader: Qrow, once you and the kids get to Ironwood explain the situation and come pick me up.

Vader then lept out of the bullhead, landing on the city below slowing his fall with the force.

Din walked towards the pilots chair, sitting down and turning off the autopilot he turned to Maria.

Din: Alright... where's this pharmacy.

Vader walked through the alleyways, observing the flying city above, its shape and how it was suspended within the air reminded him of cloud city.

Vader turned around, seeing a small child trying to pickpocket him. They had a terrified look on their face until he knelt down and gave them lien.

They thanked the force wielded and turned to leave, looking back once more before running out of the alleyway.

Vader strode down the streets, occasionally turning into an alleyway when a bullhead would fly to low.

Eventually, he reached a park. Unable to hide from the passing bullhead, he awaited the eventual confrontation.

It came faster than he thought, a specially made bullhead flew overhead, descending towards his location.

He read the logo on the side.

The Ace operatives.
