*There's a moment that changes a life when,*
*we do something that no one else can.*
*And the path that we've taken will lead us...*
*One Final Stand.*
*There's a moment we'll make a decision,*
*not to cower and crash on the ground.*
*The moment we face those demons,*
*our courage found.*
*When we stand. with. friends.*
*and we won't. retreat.*
*And we stand. them. down.*
*And the taste is sweet.*
*I May Fall*
*But not like this,*
*it won't be by your hand.*
{*I May Fall*}
*Not this place.*
*Not today.*
*I May Fall*
*Bring it all in time,*
*enough to take me down.*
*I May Fall...*
*I May Fall*
*I May Fall*
*I May - *
*I May Fall*
{Oobleck}: Broadcast what are you doing?!
Kill the feed!
{Broadcast operator}: Something's wrong!
We don't have control over the camera's!
We can't even stop the broadcast!
{Oobleck}: What?! How is that possible?!
{static screeching}
{Cinder}: This, is not a tragedy.
This,
was not an accident.
This is what happens when you hand over your trust.
Your safety.
Your children.
To men who claim to be our guardians.
But are, in reality;
nothing more than men.
Our Academies headmaster's wield more power
than most armies.
And one was audacious enough to control both.
They cling to this power in the name of peace.
And yet, what do we have here?
One nation's attempt at a synthetic army,
mercilessly torn apart by another's star pupil.
What need would Atlas have for a soldier disguised
as an innocent little girl?
I don't think the Grimm can tell the difference.
And what - I ask you,
is Ozpin teaching his students?
First a dismemberment, and now this?
Hunters and Huntresses should carry themselves
with honor and mercy.
Yet I have witnessed neither.
Perhaps,
Ozpin felt as though defeating
Atlas in the Tournament would help people
forget his colossal failure
to protect Vale when the Grimm invaded it's streets.
*Zwei barks*
Or perhaps...
this was his message to the tyrannical
dictator that has occupied
an unsuspecting Kingdom with armed forces.
Honestly?
I haven't the slightest clue as to who is right,
and who is wrong.
But I know that the existence of peace is fragile.
And the leaders of our Kingdom's
conduct their business with iron gloves.
As someone who hails from Mistral,
I can assure you.
The situation there is...
equally undesirable.
Our Kingdom's are at the brink of war.
Yet we - the citizens - are left in the dark.
*sounds of Grimm growling*
So I ask you -
when the first shots are fired,
who do you think you can trust?
