Blake's eyes were widened in shock as she saw her old friend and former leader in front of her eyes. Deep in her mind, she was happy that she saw her old friend again, but she was also questioning why Vortech had brought them here, especially when Ironwood and one of his specialists were in the theater

"I know that you wonder why they're here. Just know that I don't always get to choose who enters my theater." Vortech said inside her head

"How did you..." Blake questioned

"Telepathy, Blake. Please, do catch up." Vortech said

"Ok, why do you bring me here then?" Blake asked

"Because I need you're help in calming these two down for when they get with the other audience members. I can deal with Sienna, but I need you to talk down Ilia. Can you do that?" Vortech asked as he started to walk to the chained up White Fang members

"...I guess I can try." Blake said, uncertain on how to speak to Ilia, following Vortech, albeit a little slower

"Who the Hell are you and why do you have-?!" Ilia started but Vortech slammed his staff onto the floor, silencing her

"Now. I know you two are wondering what's going on here, and believe, I have it within your best interests to tell you. However, just so I only have to speak with one person, I've decided to bring Miss Belladonna along with me. You see she's in the same predicament as the two of you, along with several other guests, though unlike the others, you two definitely like to use... colorful language." Vortech said

"Who are you?" Sienna demanded with a scowl

"Call me, Vortech." Vortech said as he tapped his staff on the floor, causing the two faunus to be rid of their chains as they landed on the floor, luckily on their feet.

"Now, are we at ease? Can we calmly communicate with each other?" Vortech asked, only to be met with glares from the two White Fang members

"Close enough. I'll talk to Ms. Khan, Blake, you speak to Ms. Amitolia." Vortech said as he tapped his staff on the ground two times.

Suddenly, the room stretched, Blake and Ilia on one side, Vortech and Sienna on the other. Right after that, a wall emerged from the floor, separating both groups of two.

"What the?!" Ilia said as she went towards the wall, only to be stopped by the voice of Blake

"Wait... just wait. It'd be pretty pointless to try and find him in this place." Blake said as she walked towards the chameleon faunus. "He pretty much controls this place with his mind."

"What- who is he?" Ilia asked, still stumped

"...No one knows, really. He's sort of an enigma." Blake said as he started to rub he right arm with her left hand. "So... how have you been?"

"How have I been? What kind of question is that? What about you?" Ilia asked as she walked toward her old friend

"Adam sent us a report of his activities in Vale. He says you turned tail on him and vanished, leaving him behind during a mission." Ilia said as she got up to Blake. "Then, some of the Fang in Vale declare that they saw you working with the huntsmen in Beacon, they say that you're even on a team with Schnee of all humans." Ilia said with disdain in her voice

"Please, tell me there's a reason for all this. Some of the Fang think that you've turned on you're own—" Ilia started but was cut off

"I will always fight for our people, but the White Fang... Adam... we've been going down a dark path, and there may be no going back if we go too far." Blake explained
