Our group is on its way to the Schnee Manor. Jacques decided to hold a party to celebrate his win in the election.

Emily: I can't believe that scumbag won the Council seat.

Y/N: There's something fishy about this... Jacques was losing the election but he suddenly got ahead? I don't buy it.

You arrive at the Schnee Manor as a white haired boy answers the door.

Weiss: Whitley? Where's Klein?

Whitley: Good to see you as well... Klein was let go. No idea why...

The youngest Schnee turns his attention to you.

Whitley: You must be Y/N.

Y/N: Yeah. Is there something wrong with that?

Weiss laces her fingers through yours.

Whitley: No... Come now, enjoy yourselves.

Your group walks in and you look around.

You lean and whisper to Weiss.

Y/N: I want to figure something out. Your dad have a home office or something?

Weiss: He has a study.

You look at the others and Nora in particular looks really excited.

Y/N: Let's go...

Nora starts walking around, grabbing all types of food and the others try to act casual. Weiss and you reach the base of the stairs but Whitley intercepts you.

Whitley: So, Y/N, was it? Tell me about yourself?

Weiss: ...

Y/N: Not really too much to say. Just grew up in Vale. My parents ran a bath house there.

Whitley doesn't look impressed.

Whitley: I see. I suppose Weiss had to lower her standards while she was away.

Vice appears in his ghostly form.

Vice: I'm starting to get pissed off!

Weiss: My standards are perfectly fine.

Whitley: Is that so?

Nora drops her food on a woman's dress and she yells, splashing her wine all over Whitley.

Whitley: ... Excuse me...

He walks off and you have Weiss lead you to Jacques study. You sneak in and look around.

Y/N: There has to be something here...

??????: Weiss?

You turn to see an older woman. You could tell she was Weiss' mother with the Schnee hair and eyes. She has both a wine glass and bottle in her hands but instead of pouring the wine in her glass, she takes a swig from the bottle itself.

Weiss: Mother...

??????: Who's your friend?

Weiss: This... Is my boyfriend, Y/N. Y/N, this is my mother, Willow Schnee.

Willow: ... Are you good to her?

You look in her eyes and you can... Feel her sorrow. Considering who she's married to, the wine makes sense.

Y/N: I would never do anything to harm her.

Willow looks into your eyes for a moment but gives a small smile, setting her wine bottle down.

Willow: Thank you.

Weiss: Mom, are there any cameras in here?

Willow: Yes. All over the manor. I keep them hidden for... Safety reasons...

She shows Weiss and you video footage of Jacques talking to a man. The two talk about rigging the votes in exchange for credentials.

Vice: That snake!

Y/N: We need to get this to Ironwood.

You run for the door but Willow stops Weiss.

Willow: Weiss, will you take Whitley with you?

Weiss: Whitley hates me.

Willow: Look who you left him with...

Weiss: ...

You rush to the dining hall and run in.

Y/N: General Ironwood!

Jacques: What is the meaning of-

Y/N: Shut it!

Weiss shows Ironwood, the two Council members, and Robyn the footage Willow showed you.

Ironwood: Watts?

The video plays and Jacques looks more and more anxious.

Jacques: I... I can explain.

Council Member 1: Jacques, stay quiet.

Jacques tries to run but you stamp yourself, letting Vice pop out and tackle him.

Weiss: Jacques Schnee, you're under arrest.

Vice: Can we do that?

Ironwood: This is bad... With Jacques credentials, Watts can completely shut down Mantle's heating system.

Y/N: What idiot gave the the controls to an entire city's heating system to this idiot?

You point at Jacques.

Jacques: ...

Ruby and the others run in.

Ruby: General... We need to talk...

Meanwhile, Lucius is in his office and a red wisp appears beside him.

Vail: Remember our deal...

Lucius: Right.

He opens a portal and the silhouette of Giff glows as the wisp takes on a physical form.

Vail: Hehehehe...

Lucius: Once Watts has disabled Mantle's heating, that will start attracting Grimm. You are to deal with the ones Ironwood sends to fight them.

Vail: Deal.

Lucius: Allow us to give you a bonus.

He picks up Vistamps and starts stamping Vail with them, making his body glow ominously.

We cut back to our group. Ironwood has explained the Amity Tower plan and what it is for, telling the world about Salem.

Robyn: Why keep this secret?

Ironwood: I was... Concerned with who I could trust...

Y/N: Grimm are going to attack Mantle.

Ironwood: You're right. Go join the Ace-Ops. Rescue as many people as you can.

The group runs out the door and onto airships and fly down to Mantle.

Thunder Gale!

Y/N: Henshin!

You jump out of the ship you're in as you transform.

Kamen Rider Revice!

You land on a Sabyr and smash its head into the concrete. You look up to see several people, utterly terrified.

Revice: We're here to help, we're going to evacuate all of you to Atlas.

You slice a second Sabyr in half with the Ohinbuster and punch a Teryx in the face with the Rolling Vistamp. As you fight, you notice Vail walking up.

Vail: There you are, Boy...

Revice: Vail?!

Vail: Where's your old man?

Revice: Stay away from my family!

You rush at Vail and the Demon glows before launching a fireball at you.

Revice: What the?!

Vail: I have some friends who gave me quite useful gifts.

He glows again as he launches a tornado at you. You use the Rolling Vistamp to paint your own tornado and they cancel each other out.

There is a green beam of energy that Vail dodges and you see Penny, Ruby, and Weiss run up.

Weiss: What IS that?!

Y/N: Vail... Long story...

You stamp the Ohinbuster with the Rolling Vistamp and place it in the Vistamp slot.

Stamp-by!
Hissatsu Shonin!

You spin the roller on the Vistamp and the weapon charges with energy.

Revice: Let's see you counter this!

Rolling Stamping Strike!

You fire at Vail who takes the blast head on, when the dust settles, he has vanished.

Revice: I doubt that will keep him down... Let's get everyone to safety.
