[Girl]: Excuse me! Sorry!

I'm not really from around here.

Um, would you mind pointing me

in the direction of this shop?

[Boy]: I knew you were lost.

[Girl]: Mercury! I will seriously

pay you to shut up.

[Mercury]: That's not your money.

[Girl]: But it could be yours

for five minutes of silence.

[Mercury]: Mmm... No deal.

[Girl]: Hmph. Fine.

[Mercury]: Whatever. You want me.

[Mercury]: So how much farther?

[Girl]: A few blocks.

[Mercury]: Uhh, this place is so dull.

[Girl]: I kinda like it.

Tall buildings, diverse culture.

[Mercury]: And nice, dopey people

who are easy to pickpocket.

[Girl]: That's every city.

[Mercury]: Oh Emerald! Master Thief!

Please don't take my money!

I barely have enough to get by!

You're no fun today.

*ding*

[Man]: Be right there!

Welcome to Tukson's Book Trade!

Home to every book under the sun.

How may --uh...

How may I help you?

[Mercury]: Just browsin'.

[Emerald]: Actually,

I was wondering,

do you have any copies

of The Thief and the Butcher?

[Tukson] Yes, we do.

[Emerald]: That's great!

[Tukson]: Would you... like a copy?

[Emerald]: No. Just wondering.

*slam*

Oh! Oh! What about Violet's Garden

in paperback?

[Mercury]: He's got it.

Hardback too.

[Emerald]: Ooh, options are nice.

[Mercury]: Ehh, no pictures.

*slam*

Hey!

Do you have any comics?

[Tukson]: Near the front.

[Emerald]: Oh! No, wait.

What about

Third Crusade?

[Tukson]: Umm...

I...

don't believe we carry that one.

*slam*

[Mercury]: Oh.

[Emerald]: What was this place called again?

[Tukson]: Tukson's Book Trade.

[Emerald]: And...

You're Tukson?

[Tukson]: That's right.

[Emerald]: So then I take it

that you're the one

who came up with the catchphrase?

[Tukson]: Yes.

[Mercury]: And what was it again?

[Tukson]: "Tukson's Book Trade:

home to every book under the sun."

[Mercury]: Except the Third Crusade.

[Tukson]: It's just a catchphrase.

[Mercury]: It's false advertising.

[Emerald]: You shouldn't make a promise

you can't keep, Tukson.

I hear you're planning on leaving.

Moving all the way to Vacuo.

Your brothers in the White Fang

wouldn't be happy to hear that.

And neither are we.

You know who we are, don't you?

[Tukson]: Yes.

[Emerald]: And you know why we're here?

[Tukson]: Yes.

[Emerald]: So.

Are you going to fight back?

[Tukson]: Yes!

[Emerald]: What's with that?

[Mercury]: I like the pictures.

[Yang]: Whatcha doin?

[Blake]: Nothing.

Just going over notes

from last semester.

[Yang]: Lame!

*thud, silverware clatters*

[Ruby]: Sisters! Friends!

Weiss...

[Weiss]: Hey!

[Ruby]: Four score and seven minutes ago,

I had a dream.

[Yang]: This oughta be good.

[Ruby]: A dream that one day,

the four of us would come together,

as a team, and have the most fun

anyone has ever had,

ever!

[Weiss]: Did you steal my binder?

[Ruby]: I am not a crook.

[Blake]: What are you talking about?

[Ruby]: I'm talking about kicking off

the semester with a bang!

[Yang]: I always kick my semesters off

with a Yang!

Ehh!? Guys? Am I right?

[Nora]: Boooooooo!

[Ruby]: Look guys, its been a good two weeks,

and between more exchange students

arriving and the tournament

at the end of the year,

our second semester is going to be great!

But classes start back up tomorrow.

Which is why I've taken the time

to schedule a series of wonderful events

for us today.

[Weiss]: I don't know whether to be proud

or scared of what you have in store.

[Blake]: I don't know.

I think I might sit this one out.

[Weiss]: Sit out or not,

I think however we spend this last day

we should do it as a team.

[Nora]: I got it!

[Weiss]: I for one think that--

[Blue-Haired Boy]: Man, that's harsh.

[Sun]: So then we were fighting side by side

and she was super fast

and I threw a banana at a guy,

which sounds gross, but it was awesome!

[Blue-Hair]: Nice!

[Sun]: Right?

And the best part is

she's a Faunus!

But that's a secret, okay?

[Blue-Hair]: Got it.

[Sun]: And not a "I'm gonna go tell Scarlet

the second Sun turns his back" secret!

I'm talking secret secret!

[Blue-Hair]: Woah, chill out man, okay? I got it.

I got it.

[Sun]: You better.

Pfft.

I just don't wanna screw this up,

ya know?

The people here are the coolest!

No offense to you guys.

[Blue-Hair]: None taken.

[Sun]: Okay, they're just in here.

I'm really excited for you to meet them,

so be cool, okay?

You're gonna be cool, right?

[Blue-Hair]: Dude.

[Sun]: Good point.

[Students]: Food Fight!

[Nora]: I'm queen of the castle!

I'm queen of the castle!

[Ruby]: Justice will be swift!

Justice will be painful!

It will be delicious!

[Nora]: Off with their heads!

[Ruby]: Yang! Turkey!

[Ruby]: Weiss. Weiss! Don't leave me!

No!

[Sun]: I love these guys.

[Glynda]: Children, please.

Do not play with your food.

[Ozpin]: Let it go.

[Glynda]: They're supposed to be

the defenders of the world.

[Ozpin]: And they will be.

But right now they're still children.

So why not let them play the part?

After all--

it isn't a role they'll have forever.

[Roman]: Oh look, she sent the kids again.

This is turning out just like the divorce.

[Emerald]: Ugh.

Spare us the thought of you procreating.

[Roman]: That was a joke. And this

just might tell me

where you two have been all day.

[Emerald]: What?

[Roman]: I'm a professional sweetheart.

Pay attention,

maybe you'll learn something.

Why do you have this address?

[Emerald]: Wouldn't you like to know?

[Roman]: Yeah, I would.

Now, where have you been all day?

[Mercury]: Cleaning up your problems.

One of them at least.

[Roman]: I had that under control.

[Mercury]: Two packed bags and a ticket

out of Vale said otherwise.

[Roman]: Listen you little punk,

If it were up to me

I would take you

and your little street-rat friend here,

and I would--

[Woman]: Do what, Roman?

[Roman]: I'd uh... Not kill them?

[Emerald]: Cinder!

[Cinder]: I thought I made it clear

that you were to eliminate

the would-be runaway.

[Roman]: I was going to!

[Emerald]: He was going to escape to Vacuo.

Mercury and I decided

to take it upon ourselves

to kill the rat.

[Mercury]: I think he was some sort of cat, actually.

[Emerald]: What, like a puma?

[Mercury]: Yeah, there ya go.

[Cinder]: Quiet.

Did I not specifically instruct you two

to keep your hands clean while in Vale?

[Emerald]: I just thought--

[Cinder]: Don't think.

Obey.

[Emerald]: Yes ma'am.

It won't happen again.

[Cinder]: And you.

Why wasn't this job done sooner?

[Roman]: Uh...

Eh?

Ehhhh?

EHHHHHHHHHH!?

Sorry if I've been a little busy

stealing every speck of Dust in the kingdom!

[Mercury]: You're an inspiration

to every punk with a gun and a ski-mask.

[Roman]: Look around, kid.

I've got this town running scared.

Police camping out at every corner.

Dust prices through the roof.

And we're sitting pretty

in an old warehouse

with more Dust crystals, vials, and rounds

than we know what to do with.

Speaking of which.

If you guys wouldn't mind

filling me in on your grand-master plan,

it might actually make my next string

of robberies go a little smoother.

[Cinder]: Oh, Roman. Have a little faith.

You'll know what you need

when you need to know it.

Besides.

We're done with Dust.

[Roman]: Okay. Then what now?

[Cinder]: We're moving.

Have the White Fang

clear out this building.

I'll send you details

and coordinates tonight.

[Roman]: Coordinates?

[Cinder]: We're proceeding to phase two.

There's a point where it tips

There's a point where it breaks

There's a point where it bends

and a point we just can't take

Anymore

There's a line that we'll cross

and there's no return

There's a time and a place

No bridges left to burn

Anymore

We can't just wait with lives at stake

Until they think we're ready

Our enemies are gathering

The storm is growing deadly

Now it's time to say goodbye

To the things we loved

And the innocence of youth

How the time seemed to fly

From our carefree lives

and the solitude and peace we always knew
