Kat held the artifacts she recovered from Morning Star's body in two air-tight, metal containers and carried them over to the nearest on-site Containment Unit.

"Director!" The commander of Containment Unit 247 ran over to her, his men not far behind.

"Take these two and lock them in separate areas. Do not tell anyone else the location of either of these." Kat ordered.

"What about SCP-2807? Did you recover it?" The commander asked.

"Here's the thing.." Kat's voice trailed off, covering the three glowing orange claw-marks on her right hand.

"You fused with it, didn't you?" The commander deadpanned.

"...Yes." Kat admitted.

"Okay, we'll get these out of your way. If anything else happens, contact one of the Doctors." The commander nodded, taking the package and running as five men in suits went in the front door.

"Are you the director of this organization?" One of the men asked.

"Yes.. Who are you?" Kat slowly answered.

"We're with the real SCP Foundation in Geo Omicron 4-13. We got the call soon after your operations in Cairo ended." The man replied.

"Shit." Kat face-palmed.

"We're here to offer you a deal. We can't have two Foundations running around, so you can either become this dimension's SCP division, rename your organization, or we could just hand you this cease-and-desist letter." The Agent offered.

"Fine, we'll discuss this later, tell your superiors we'll be ready to talk tomorrow." Kat replied.

"We'll be happy to hear that. Also, be careful. An organization called the Chaos Insurgency is insistent on attacking the Foundation and releasing every SCP they can." The Agent warned as he and the other four left the building.

"Hey, Miss Director.. We're ready for our interviews." Kat heard Hughes and Krieger walk in once the Agents left.

"Sure thing, I'll have someone with you soon." Kat replied, groaning slightly.

"Why did I agree to this?" Kat wearily thought.

*Interdimensional Currency Exchange; Crocus, Fiore; June 5, 2019; 1:48 PM*

"So, we have about 1,400 in Equestrian Bits, 945 in Remnant Lien, and... $6 in Adenien Marks. Can I have that converted into Jewel, please?" Alex asked.

"I doubt it's worth that much." Yang added.

"Yeah, but it should be enough for a small apartment somewhere with a bit less people. We'll find work where we can." Alex noted.

"Your total is about... 296,733.40 Jewel." The teller informed.

"Really..? Wow.. Okay, let's find a cheap apartment somewhere.." Yang grinned.

"Thanks for visiting Fiore!" The teller smiled as they left.

The Walker/Xiao Long family decided to head to Fiore to find work. Mostly because they could handle killing a few monsters, and the place was similar enough to Remnant.

"Well, that worked out." Cade commented.

"True. We should ask where to look for a place to live." Future Auburn added as the four moved along.

"Somewhere far away from other people, preferably." Alex nodded.

"Aw, C'mon! It'd be nice to make a few more friends, right?" Yang asked.

"Ah, yes. And how did that turn out for you?" Alex retorted.

"It turned out great!" Yang shouted.

"Yeah, people are so great..!" Alex sarcastically retorted.

"Mom, dad. We need to find a place where you two can settle this in a more private place." Cade interrupted.

"Kids these days, arguing out in public.." A man commented.

"You think they're bad, there's this Guild out in the country where crap like that happened constantly.." Someone else said.

"Really? Where?" The first man asked.

"My old place in Magnolia Town, this young girl across the river yelled constantly, 'What are you two doing in my apartment!!' At least there they didn't yell in front of a baby." the second man replied.

Yang obviously overheard, grinning at him.

"No." Alex scowled.

Yang smiled bigger.

"No.." Alex rejected, more worriedly than before.

Yang practically pleaded to find this town without even saying anything.

"No, no, no..!" Alex begged.

"Magnolia is 150 miles east of the city." Auburn told Yang.

"Dammit..!" Alex wailed.

"Lady Salem, the Nexus has dissolved." Cinder reported.

"And what of the Unity soldiers?" Salem asked.

"They've long since left, with Alex, Yang Xiao Long, and two of the Time Travellers in a dimension called 'Earth Land'."

"Good. You're doing well, my protégée." Salem grinned wickedly.

"Thank you, Salem. I believe it is necessary to report that three Huntsmen have discovered my group and are planning an attack." Cinder added.

"And who are they..?" asked Salem.

"Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren." Cinder answered.

"Hmm.. They were teammates with our... Test Subject, weren't they..?" Salem wondered.

"Yes."

"Let them suffer the same fate as their friend, and proceed as planned with the village in East Vacuo." Salem commanded.

"Yes, Lady Salem." Cinder nodded.

Cinder started to leave, and then turned back to face Salem.

"I have seen Walker's growth between his encounter with my Fall Knights and the Nexus. I imagine he will be looking for me." Cinder informed.

"As I have said, Cinder, he is brash and headstrong. He won't relent in a standard battle." Salem replied, as though their enemy meant little to them.

"And as for Zeta..?" Cinder asked, referring to Alex's current rival.

"Think of it like this, Cinder. Why waste a bullet when you can have the guard dog do all the work..?" Salem figured.

Raven continued to sharpen her many blades, sliding each brightly colored tool back into it's sheath once she had finished.

"Raven, a word..?" A gravelly, yet lighthearted voice asked in the doorway.

Raven stepped out of her small cottage into the fields, where a familiar face had been waiting.

"Qrow. It's nice to see you again." Raven nodded her greeting.

"You too, sis." Qrow smiled slightly.

"So, what have you been up to as of late..?" Raven wondered.

"Ruby needed to train with me for some mission in Cairo. She just got back and is going to meet with Tai soon." Qrow answered.

"I've been working." Raven said.

"On what? Y'know, you've always been pretty tight-lipped about your missions. What do you even do, anyways?" Qrow wondered.

"The Inheritors are growing, Qrow. My work is never over. I need to train them and now I need to doing high profile missions." Raven answered.

"I get 'ya. Training Huntsmen must be easy work compared to what you've been teaching 'em." Qrow nodded in response.

"I need to get back to this, we'll see each other again soon, right?" Raven asked.

Qrow smiled.

"Sure thing. See ya 'round." Qrow waved before transforming into a crow and flying away.

Raven walked back inside, grabbing her sharpening stone and a piercing red blade.

"Indeed, my work is never over. But it should be.. soon."
