Battledate: 10232016- 6 months after Grimm invasion- good welcome citizens. It's been awhile since the last volume, but things have gotten off to a decent foot as it is. Let's review:


 * We start off in Bloodborne, where we see a standard Beowolf be born from what can only be described as the Primordial Soup.

Stop! Speculation Time. 
 * Apparently this is sensitive information as Cinder snaps at them (literally) to stop gawking and get back to the dinner table, where sits the league of extraordinary mentlegen, including but probably not limited to: Sabertooth, a failed attempt at the perfect Game of Thrones villain, Geoff Ramsey, and last but not least, Salem Massachusetts by way of Cortana.
 * Cinder is barely able to talk and has been reduced to one eye and one sleeve. She now relies on Emerald to be her normal translator and Mercury to be her anger translator.
 * Dr. Watts/Geoff despises Cinder for her "failure" while Salem congratulates her for her "success." Both are right and wrong, but Cinder's been forced behind because of her new sensitivity to Ruby's powers, being replaced by Watts, who will commence Operation Corpirate on Mistral next. Meanwhile Tyrion's been called away from stalking the Spring Maiden and taking lewd pictures of her eyes, and has been sent to stalk Ruby instead. He then cracks a joke that no one finds funny but him. And Hazel/Sabertooth has been sent to talk to the White Fang, and I assume we'll never hear of him again.
 * Cut to Ren and Nora, who are chipping away at the 4th wall by discussing Team names (Nora for JNRR, Junior, and Ren for RNJR, Ranger). Ren, fitting his role as the sensible one on the team, is the only one who opts for Ranger (at least at first).
 * Suddenly they start fighting a Golem Grimm called a Geist, while Jaune runs about looking like a fool because he left town before his equipment was upgraded like a putz.
 * The team destroys the Grimm's body and Ruby finishes it off with probably the only time her gun is actually used as a sniper rifle.
 * The town elder thanks the kind heroes, and they go to the blacksmith shop to get Jaune's equipment...but not before revealing his badass hoodie he wore for a year now had a bunny on it, much to Ruby's amusement (runs a little long to be honest).
 * We then learn Jaune smelted all of Pyrrha's bronze into his armor and weapons, making him stronger-ish. Gone but not forgotten.
 * The group then sets off into the great wide somewhere to a village that probably has a working airship...but are off without their map, which brings us to our current situation (No I WON"T ask for directions, I have the GPS that's connected to the... oh).
 * Meanwhile Clyde the Butler (for that is totally all he's going to be in this volume and not a supportive surrogate father figure) informs Weiss, who is in Atlas, that her father wishes to see him. *DUN dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNN* !!!!
