Summary
Team RNJR walks along a path and discusses the duration of their trip. They come across an abandoned town which is not marked on the map. Worried, they run into the town in case anyone needs their help but quickly find out that no one is there. A sign reveals that the town was Oniyuri. Lie Ren tells the rest of the group its origin, revealing that his parents were among the people associated with it and how a single Grimm in particular managed to wipe it out.

In Atlas, Weiss Schnee sings at the charity concert. At the after-party, she examines a painting of Beacon Academy that is being auctioned to raise money for Vale. As she looks at it, Henry Marigold walks up and attempts to flirt with her. She gets angry when he tells her he doesn't know what the party is for and orders him to leave. Weiss overhears a woman tell the other guests that Vale had it coming. Weiss becomes infuriated and yells at the crowd. Jacques Schnee tries to stop her, but she accidentally loses control of her Semblance and summons a white Boarbatusk which rushes to attack the woman. James Ironwood shoots it down before it harms her. He refuses when the woman demands that he arrest Weiss, stating that she "is the only one making any sense" before leaving himself.

As RNJR makes their way through the town, Tyrian attacks. He tells them that he only wants to capture Ruby, but the rest of the team refuse to let him do so. They fight, but RNJR is clearly outmatched by Tyrian, who is revealed to be a scorpion Faunus. As he is about to strike Ruby with his tail, Qrow arrives and blocks the strike with his sword, revealing his presence to Ruby and the rest of Team RNJR.
