02x08 - Field Trip

[bunniefuu]

There's a point where it tips There's a point where it breaks

There's a point where it bends and the 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

Other characters: James: They... were here.

Other characters: Ozpin they were here!

Glynda: We are very much aware of that.

Glynda: Thank you, James.

Other characters: Fantastic!

Other characters: You're aware.

Other characters: Now are we going to do something about it or should we just stay the course and continue to ignore what's right in front of us?!

[Beeping sound]

Ren/Ozpin: Come in.

[Door sliding open]

Ruby: Ruby: Sorry it took so long.

Ruby: Someone accidentally hit all the buttons on the elevator on the way up here.

Ruby: It wasn't me.

Ren/Ozpin: Thank you for coming, Ruby.

Ren/Ozpin: How are you feeling?

Ruby: Okay... I guess.

Ruby: I'd feel better if my bad guy catching record wasn't over three. [Laughs nervously]

Ruby: Okay... so that's the tone we're going for... got it.

Other characters: Ruby.

Other characters: I feel it's appropriate to let you know that I think what you did last night is exactly what being a Huntress is all about.

Other characters: You recognized a thr*at. You took action. And you did the very best you could.

Ruby: Thank you, sir.

Ren/Ozpin: Now.

Ren/Ozpin: The general here has already informed us of the events that...

Ren/Ozpin: ...transpired last night.

Ren/Ozpin: But now that you've rested, we were wondering if you have anything to add.

Glynda: Was anyone else with her?

Glynda: Did she look familiar to you at all?

Ruby: I...

Ruby: I don't know.

Ruby: She was wearing a mask.

Ruby: And she never said anything to me.

Ruby: But I know she fought with glass.

Ruby: I don't think that was her Semblance, though.

Ruby: Her clothing lit up when she att*cked.

Glynda: Save for the glass...

Glynda: That sounds like the woman I fought the night we met Ruby.

Other characters: Embedding Dust into clothing is an age-old technique.

Other characters: It could have been anyone.

Ruby: Ruby: Wait.

Ruby: You think this girl's connected to Torchwick and the White Fang?

Ren/Ozpin: It's possible.

Ren/Ozpin: But we still lack the required evidence to link the two together.

Ruby: Ruby: Actually, I...

Ruby: I think I remember her saying something about a hideout, or something...

Ruby: ...in the southeast.

Ruby: Just outside the kingdom.

Ren/Ozpin: Interesting.

Glynda: I thought you said the intruder never-

Ren/Ozpin: Thank you for your cooperation, Ruby.

Ren/Ozpin: Why don't you go and spend some time with your team?

Ren/Ozpin: You have a big day ahead of you.

Ruby: Anytime.

Ren/Ozpin: Ozpin: And Miss Rose...

Ren/Ozpin: Please try and be...

Ren/Ozpin: Discreet about this matter.

Ruby: Yes, sir.

Yang: What happened?!

Ruby: Uh... well, um, hehe...

Ruby: [Laughs nervously]

Other characters: Well, there we have it.

Other characters: We'll send as many troops as we can into the southeast,

Other characters: Find out exactly what's going on,

Other characters: And eradicate any forces that stand in our way.

Glynda: Why must your answer to everything involve a triumphant display of m*llitary bravado?!

Glynda: You treat every situation like a contest of measuring di-

Ren/Ozpin: Glynda.

Glynda: Well, he does.

Ren/Ozpin: She's right.

Ren/Ozpin: As much as I too would love to end this situation once and for all...

Ren/Ozpin: We must remember that this may go beyond Vale.

Ren/Ozpin: Beyond Beacon.

Ren/Ozpin: And if this truly is part of some master plan for which we know not the final move...

Ren/Ozpin: We mustn't be so bold.

Ren/Ozpin: Nor can we risk the spread of panic.

Other characters: I have served you faithfully for years...

Other characters: But if you mean to tell me that your plan is to hold the defenses, and wait-

Ren/Ozpin: It is not!

Ren/Ozpin: You're a general, James.

Ren/Ozpin: So, tell me.

Ren/Ozpin: When you prepare to go to w*r...

Ren/Ozpin: Which do you send in first?

Ren/Ozpin: The flag bearer?

Ren/Ozpin: Or the scouts?

Weiss: Weiss: That was a risky move.

Blake: No.

Blake: I think you handled it well.

Ruby: I hope so.

Yang: I'm sure everything will be alright, Ruby.

Yang: Oh! I know what will cheer you up!

Ruby: What's that?

Yang: I don't know yet. Dad sent it to us.

Yang: I thought we could open it together!

Ruby: [Shrills excitedly] Yes! Something from home!

Bark, Bark~

Ruby: Zwei!!!

Blake: He sent a dog?!

Weiss: In a mail?!

Yang: Oh, he does stuff like this all the time!

Blake: Your father or your dog?

Weiss: Are you telling me... that this mangy,

Weiss: Drooling,

Weiss: Mutt,

Weiss: is going to wiv with us foweva? Oh yes he is, yes he is!

Weiss: Oh, isn't he adorable!

Blake: Please keep it away from my belongings.

Gylnda (through speaker): Will all first-year students please report to the ampitheatre.

Weiss: Well, we can't exactly leave him here while we're gone for a week.

Yang: Look, there's a letter!

Yang [Narrating]: Dear girls:

Yang [Narrating]: I've got to leave the island for a few days, so I'm sending Zwei to you to take care of.

Yang [Narrating]: Enclosed is all the food you should need.

Yang [Narrating]: Love you both, Taiyang.

Weiss: What is he supposed to do with that?

Yang: Well! That settles it!

Yang: Come on girls, Zwei will be here when we get back!

Weiss: Oh, I'll miss you so much, we're going to be best friends, I can't wait to see you... [indistinct muttering]

Ruby: Hmmm...

Glynda: Glynda: Quiet. Quiet please.

Glynda: Professor Ozpin would like to share a few words before we begin.

Ren/Ozpin: Today we stand together.

Ren/Ozpin: United.

Ren/Ozpin: Mistral.

Ren/Ozpin: Atlas.

Ren/Ozpin: Vacuo.

Ren/Ozpin: Vale.

Ren/Ozpin: The Four Kingdoms of Remnant.

Ren/Ozpin: On this day, nearly eighty years ago,

Ren/Ozpin: The largest w*r in recorded history came to an end.

Ren/Ozpin: It was a w*r of ignorance.

Ren/Ozpin: Of greed.

Ren/Ozpin: And of oppression.

Ren/Ozpin: A w*r that was about much more than where borders fell or who traded with who...

Ren/Ozpin: But the very idea of individualism itself.

Ren/Ozpin: We fought for countless reasons.

Ren/Ozpin: One of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self-expression.

Ren/Ozpin: And as you are well aware, that was something many could not stand for.

Ren/Ozpin: As a result,

Ren/Ozpin: Those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself.

Ren/Ozpin: Color.

Ren/Ozpin: It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression...

Ren/Ozpin: But neither were the generations to come.

Ren/Ozpin: And it was a trend that is held to this very day.

Ren/Ozpin: We encourage individuality, expressionism and unity...

Ren/Ozpin: ...through diversity.

Ren/Ozpin: As I have said,

Ren/Ozpin: Today we stand together, united.

Ren/Ozpin: But this bond cannot exist without effort.

Ren/Ozpin: Which is why today, while the rest of this world celebrates peace,

Ren/Ozpin: Huntsmen and Huntresses will work to uphold it.

Ren/Ozpin: As first year students,

Ren/Ozpin: You will be tasked with shadowing a professional Huntsman or Huntress on a mission.

Ren/Ozpin: Some of you may be taken out of the Kingdom for several days.

Ren/Ozpin: Others may work within the walls for the rest of the week.

Ren/Ozpin: But no matter which path you choose...

Ren/Ozpin: Remember to be safe...

Ren/Ozpin: Remember your training.

Ren/Ozpin: And remember to do your very best.

[Students applaud]

Ruby: This is perfect!

Ruby: All we have to do is shadow a Huntsman working in the southeast!

Yang: Yeah! We'll follow them around by day and give him the slip at night!

Weiss: Let's check Search and Destroy!

Ruby: Here we go!

Ruby: Quadrant needs Grimm cleared out!

Blake: Well, it's in the southeast.

Yang: Sounds perfect!

[Beep]

Weiss: Wonderful.

Blake: Any other ideas?

Ruby: We mail ourselves there.

Ren/Ozpin: Ozpin: Well, that's one option.

Ren/Ozpin: Unfortunately, we determined that the concentration of Grimm was too extreme for first-year students.

Ren/Ozpin: It seems that particular region is popular.

Ren/Ozpin: In fact, I have the sneaking suspicion that the four of you will make your way there no matter which job you choose.

Ruby: Whatever makes you say that?

Ren/Ozpin: I'm still curious as to how you all found yourselves at the docks last semester.

Ren/Ozpin: I'm interested to know how you really learned about a...

Ren/Ozpin: ...hideout in the southeast.

Ren/Ozpin: And I certainly wonder why witnesses reported seeing robots and rose petals in a dance club some time ago.

Ruby: Uhhh-hum... well, well...

Ren/Ozpin: I doubt I'll ever find the exact answers I'm looking for.

Ren/Ozpin: So, how about this:

Ren/Ozpin: Instead of waiting for you all to break the rules...

Ren/Ozpin: Why don't we just bend them?

[Beeping sounds]

Ruby: We won't let you down.

Ruby: Thank you, professor.

Ren/Ozpin: Do not thank me for this.

Ren/Ozpin: Teamwork and persistence have carried you far.

Ren/Ozpin: But you must understand...

Ren/Ozpin: The things that await you beyond the protection of the Kingdom will not care.

Ren/Ozpin: Stay close to your Huntsman at all times.

Ren/Ozpin: And do exactly as he says.

Ren/Ozpin: He will be leading you on this mission, and he can have you sent back to Beacon...

Ren/Ozpin: ...if he finds your skills to be unsatisfactory.

Ren/Ozpin: Good luck.

Yang: That wasn't exactly uplifting.

Blake: But it's the truth.

Ruby: It's gonna be tough, but I know we can do it!

Other characters: Hey! Team CFVY is back!

Team CFVY = pronounced as "Coffee"

Blake: Velvet? Are you okay?

Velvet: I'm fine.

Velvet: I had Yatsuhashi to look out for me.

Weiss: Your mission was supposed to end a week ago!

Weiss: What happened?

Velvet: Nothing happened.

Velvet: It was just...

Velvet: There were just so many.

Velvet: Oh, but don't worry.

Velvet: You first-years are just shadowing Huntsmen, so you should be fine.

Yang: Riiiight.

Velvet: I should go.

Velvet: Be safe, okay?

Ruby: Ruby: We can do this.

Ruby: We've never backed down before, and we're not going to start now.

Blake: Right!

Ruby: Besides, it won't only be us out there!

Ruby: We'll be fighting alongside a genuine Huntsman!

Yang: Yeah!

Emerald: Why, hello girls!

Emerald: Who's ready to fight for their lives?!
