As Ruby walks back of her team, she notices only Weiss there, holding her scroll up to the sky.

Ruby: Hey Weiss, where'd Yang and Blake go?

Weiss: They went with Sarge and Simmons to find Lopez.

Ruby: Oh. What are you doing with your scroll?

Weiss: I've been trying to get a signal to call somebody from Remnant. But so far, nothing.

Ruby: Well, yeah. That's because we're in another dimension.

Weiss: There was no harm in trying.

~ Jeff Williams - Training Room Showdown ~

F.I.L.S.S: A new challenger has arrived. Today's match-up is Agent Texas versus Agent Carolina.

Carolina, accompanied by York, enters the training room. Tex is seen to the side of the room as a rack with weapons is deployed. Carolina and York stop as another weapons rack appears in front of them.

York: Okay, just pick a piece of equipment you know how to use already.

Carolina begins to arm herself with various items, not listening to York.

York: Or, just grab everything and anything, that works too, I guess.

North, South, Maine, Wash, Wyoming and Sigma overlooking the training room from the observatory. As Tex continues to arm herself, Omega appears next to her. Tex turns to him.

Tex: Hey, I've got this one, Omega.

Omega growls.

Omega: Next time...

F.I.L.S.S: Agent York, please clear the floor.

York: In a second F.I.L.S.S! Now at first the voice of the A.I- sorry, A.Is', it will feel like a tickle, okay? Just focus on that, and it will get clear. Trust them. I know that'll be hard, but I promise they'll help.

F.I.L.S.S: Agent York, clear the floor, please.

York: In a second F.I.L.S.S!

Tex's weapon rack retracts as she cracks her neck and fists.

FI.L.S.S: Clear the floor or enter the match, York. Your choice.

York: For the record, I would stay to support you, but she's really damn scary.

Carolina glares at York.

York: Okay, maybe you're both pretty scary. Gotta go.

York leaves the training room floor as Carolina watches him. After a brief moment, her new A.I's, Eta and Iota, appear next to her. They are identical, albeit one is gold and the other is teal. After sharing a glance, the two A.I's merge and disappear.

North: Anyone wanna bet one of them gets killed?

Washington: Are you kidding?! I'm hoping one of us doesn't get killed just by watching!

York arrives to the observatory. Carolina's weapon rack retracts as she and Tex slowly walk towards the center of the room.

F.I.L.S.S: Round begins in three, two, one, begin. Good luck, ladies!
