Flynt along with Mercury and Sienna are walking together down the halls of the hotel
"You think there's hope?" Flynt asked them
"I've never seen this Tyrian fucker fight. And he's never seen us fight, so, yes, there's hope" Mercury told him
"I believed in him, Jaune I mean, he's lead us on the right path so far and we need to do this if we are going to survive," Flynt told them
"I felt the same about Adam. I thought he was the man to lead us when this shit would go down. But I was wrong" Sienna sighed
"Maybe that was our mistake, believing in kings," Mercury told her with a reassuring smile
Flynt chuckled "Jaune's not a king" he told them
the two smile
"No, he's not" Sienna replied
"I need a good drink to help me sleep the night before a fight. You want some?" Mercury asked Flynt and Sienna
"Might as well, could be my last drink
"No, thanks. sounds good, but I need to keep a clear head. I can never sleep the night before a battle" Flynt replied
"So what do you do all night?" Sienna asked
"I walk. Think and walk"
Jaune walks to Maria's room, he entered to see a sleeping Penny and Oscar on the bed
"Maria, You weren't at the war council" he told her
"I'm not a soldier and I'm no longer a huntsman" Maria told him
Jaune chuckled "right. Any advice though?" Jaune asked
"Don't lose" Maria chuckled and looked back to the fire
Jaune looked down and into the fire.
"If I do, if I fall, don't bring me back" Jaunr told her
"I'll have to try"
"I'm ordering you not to bring me back"
Maria looked to him and stood up facing him, "I am not your servant, Jaune" she told him "I serve the Light brother. I do what he asks of me"
Jaune scoffed "How do you know what he asks
"I interpret his signs as well as I can. If the Lord didn't want me to bring you back, how did I bring you back? I have no power. Only what he gives me and he gave me you" Maria told him
"Why?" Jaune asked
"I don't know. Maybe you're only needed for this small part of his plan and nothing else. Maybe he brought you here to die again" Maria said
"What kind of god would do something like that?" Jaune asked
Maria just gives a small smile "The one we've got"
Jaune stares back into the fire pit and then leaves her room.
The Arc and Callow armies sit across the battlefield from one another. Nora, Ilia and Neon along with 10 other fighters are manning their guns. Jaune slowly rides a motor-cycle through the ranks, looking at the men. He rides up next to Mercury and Flynt, at the front of the line. Across the battlefield, Tyrian walks through the ranks of his army with a rope in his hand. The is revealed to be tied around Ren's hands. Tyrian ushers him a little further out past the front line and stares at Jaune across the field.
