The back half of the Argus Limited is completely derailed, with the train cars crashed in the snow. Qrow, Oscar, and Team RWBY all get back up.

Qrow: "Is everyone okay?"

Weiss: "I'm fine."

Blake: "Yeah."

(Y/n): "I'm banged up, but I'm ok."

Then, an unfamiliar voice is heard.

Old lady: "Still alive!"

Everyone looks up and notices the elderly woman, stepping out from the train.

Old lady: "That sure was a close one, huh?"

Flashback

Ruby: "We need to take the Relic to Atlas?"

Team RWBY, JNPR, and Qrow Branwen are seen back at the house in Mistral.

Qrow: "That's what Oz said."

Everybody looks to Weiss Schnee.

Weiss: "You've got to be joking..."

Nora: "I mean, bright side, we finally get out of this house!"

(Y/n): "Hey! I like my house!"

Weiss sighs.

Qrow: "Well trust me, I'm not crazy about it either. And without the Spring Maiden here to seal the Relic back in its Vault, it's our best option."

Ren: "Atlas may be the safest kingdom we have at the moment, but their borders are closed. General Ironwood called everyone back."

Qrow: "Eh, not everyone."

Qrow activates his Scroll, showing a hologram of a highlighted portion of land.

Qrow: "The city of Argus is a ways north of us and it's the primary trading port between Anima and Solitas. They've got the largest Atlas military base outside the kingdom. There's no way they'd leave it abandoned, and if we play our cards right, I think there's a good chance we could convince them to escort us straight to Ironwood."

(Y/n): "But how do we get into the base?"

Blake: "I mean, we do have the missing Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company."

Weiss: "Ex-Heiress, actually."

Yang: "True, true. But if there's a chance of reward money, I say we go for it."

(Y/n): "And nothing of value will be lost."

(Y/n) gets smacked in the face by a couch cushion curtsey of Weiss.

(Y/n): "Sorry..."

Weiss: "Ugh..."

Weiss just rolls her eyes.

Ozpin: "Hopefully the first option will suffice."

Oscar Pine, letting Ozpin take over, walks into the room.

Qrow: "Glad to see you're feeling better."

Ozpin: "Likewise, and while I'm sure we could all use more time to recover, I'm afraid time is of the essence."

Blake: "Right, as long as that thing's out in the open, its power could fall into the wrong hands."

Jaune: "Speaking of, what does it do exactly? Qrow never really told us."

Everyone looks to Ozpin, who turns around to face them.

Ozpin: "Of course."
