26[[AC:Episode 1: Ruby Rose]]
27->'''Narrator:''' Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past. Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness — creatures of destruction — the creatures of Grimm - set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void. However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named "Dust". Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life. But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone... darkness will return. So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called "free world", but take heed... there will be no victory in strength.\
28'''Ozpin:''' But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten. Things that require a smaller, more honest soul.

84'''Ren:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I don't think sloths make a lot of noise.]]\

215'''Weiss:''' So you would just blindly accept his decision even after seeing how exceptional I am?\
216'''Peter:''' With all due respect, your exceptional skill on the battlefield is matched only by your poor attitude.\
217'''Weiss"''' How dare you!\
218'''Peter:''' My point exactly. I see a girl before me who has spent her entire life getting exactly what she wanted.\

220

236'''Ren:''' Two of 'em.\
237'''Nora:''' But they were no match. And in the end Ren and I took them down and made a boatload of lien selling ursae skin rugs!\

261->'''Pyrrha:''' Well, Ruby has her speed, you have your glyphs. My Semblance is polarity.\
262'''Ruby:''' Whoa, you can control poles...\
263'''Weiss:''' No, you dunce! It means she has control over magnetism!\

283[[AC:Episode 16: Black and White]]
284->'''Yang:''' Weiss, I think we should hear her side of the story before we jump to any conclusions.\

286'''Penny:''' And I think Weiss' hair looks wonderful today!\
287'''Ruby:''' Aaaah! Penny! Where did you come from!?
288
289->'''Yang:''' We're looking for our friend Blake.\

315'''Cinder:''' ''(Off-screen)'' How very disappointing, Roman.\
316'''Roman:''' ''(Turning around suddenly)'' Whoa! Hehe... I wasn't expecting to see you guys so soon...\
317'''Cinder:''' ''(Flanked by Mercury and Emerald)'' We were expecting... more from you.\

But when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long, you become separated from the people that put you there in the first place. Everyone assumes I'm too good for them. That I'm on a level they simply can't attain. It's become impossible to form any sort of meaningful relationship with people. That's what I like about ''you''.

But when you're on the battlefield, your judgment can become clouded in an instant. Sometimes you see things that simply aren't there. Even after the fight has passed.\
877'''Yang''': But I wasn't-\
878'''Ironwood''': That's ENOUGH! The sad truth is, whether it was an accident or an assault...it doesn't matter. The world saw you attack an innocent student. They've already drawn their own conclusions.

882-> '''Blake''': I had someone very dear to me change. It wasn't in an instant, it was gradual...little choices that started to pile up. He told me not to worry. At first, they were accidents, then it was self-defense. Before long, even I began to think he was right. This is all just...very...familiar. But you're ''not'' him. And you've never done anything like this before. So...I want to trust you. I ''will'' trust you.

891'''Jaune''': Uh... I dunno. I guess that depends on how you view it.\
892'''Pyrrha''': When I think of destiny, I don't think of some predetermined fate that you can't escape. But rather...some sort of final goal. Something you work towards your entire life.\
893'''Jaune''': Ok... uh yeah, I can see that, sure.\
894'''Pyrrha''': Well... what would you do if something came along that you never expected? Something that had the potential to stand between you and your destiny.\
895'''Jaune''': Like... what?\
896'''Pyrrha''': Or, what if you could fulfill your destiny in an instant, but at the cost of who you were?\
897'''Jaune''': Pyrrha, you're not making any sense.\

903
904-> '''Cinder''': This was 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' headmasters 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? Huntsman 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 its streets. 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 kingdoms conduct their business with iron gloves. As someone who hails from Mistral, I can assure you the situation there is...equally undesirable. Our kingdoms are at the brink of war yet we, the citizens, are left in the dark. So I ask you: when the first shots are fired... who do you think you can trust?

[[DivideAndConquer But divide them]]... Place doubt into their minds... And any ''semblance'' of power they had will wash away. Of course, they won't realize it at first.

We're just as capable of hate and violence as the humans, but I don't think any of us would jump at the chance to point that out. So why are we letting Adam do it for us? By doing nothing and staying silent, [[AccompliceByInaction we let others]] speak and act in our place. And if we're not proud of the choices they make, then we have no one to blame but ourselves. This is the message Adam Taurus will bring to the world if no one stops him. But we can stop him! You have to understand that all of you are looking for simple answers to a very complicated problem. And I can't give that to you. I don't know how to make hate go away. I don't! But I know this kind of violence is ''not'' the solution. I understand that to ask you to leave your homes and protect Haven Academy is asking you to put your lives at risk- but that's what's at stake. So I'm going. And I'll stand by myself if I have to.

And those responsible for organizing the attack managed to escape. As I’m sure you can guess, there’s a lot more to this report than I’m willing to say in this letter.

But, fear itself isn't worthy of concern; it is [[WhatYouAreInTheDark who we become]] while in its clutches. Will you be proud of that person? Will you forgive them?

Dr. Polendina can explain more later, but right now you all need to know that the Kingdom of Atlas is under attack. Things are dire, and we need help. But please, try not to panic. This isn’t some new enemy or invading Kingdom. This is a force we’ve faced before, for centuries… [[BigBad Salem]]. The White Fang, Atlesian drones, even the Grimm themselves have all been controlled and manipulated by ''her'', in order to tear down the Huntsmen Acadamies. I know the idea of the Maidens and Relics seems… well… crazy, but I promise [[BarrierWarrior Professor Goodwitch]] of Beacon and [[WildCard Headmaster Theodore]] of Shade  can verify all of this. They might even be able to help organize a way to fight back. But sadly, [[FallenHero General Ironwood]] can no longer be trusted. We didn’t have time to prepare for Salem. But now you ''do!'' Just because she can’t be destroyed, doesn’t mean she can’t be ''beaten''. If she really was unstoppable, she wouldn’t have acted with such caution until now. She knows we’re a threat. So even if we-- even if Atlas falls, you can’t give up. I hope Amity Tower will help bring us all together. Because in the end, that’s how we’ll win."
