After the briefing, the Assassins do their jobs as Altair is with Aveline, and Jun have arrived at Stadium. He orders the two to spy on the Templars and learn more about it. As Altair heard about the tournament of Penny and Ciel of Atlas against Russel Thrush and Sky Lark. Altair sees Ruby who is watching as he walks toward her and sits beside her

Ruby: Hey Altair, where have you been?

Altair: Well just do something else, So who's gonna win?

Ruby: Penny is gonna win this match.

Altair: Hehe, I know she would win.

Wasting no time, Penny does the same thing with another group of blades, homing in on the other CRDL teammate Sky Lark until he uses Feather's Edge to vault over another stone for defense. The two exchange a worried look at the sight of their rocks still pierced with multiple blades, and Penny grins in combat-ready fierceness as she looks to her partner, who simply taps her watch as if hurrying Penny up. Wasting no time, Penny raises her hands like a puppetmaster and uses the near-invisible strings attached to each hilt to lift the giant rocks up in the air, with the screaming Russel and Sky still hanging on. Bringing her arms down to her sides, the stones come crashing to the ground as well, leaving Penny's opponents in the grass. Her swords come back to her pack as the buzzer rings.

Oobleck: (over the broadcaster's system) And victory goes to Penny and Ciel of Atlas!

Penny: (placing a fist in her palm and bowing in respect to her fallen foes, still smiling) Thank you for a wonderful time.

The two victors turn to leave the stadium as Russel feebly reaches out, only to get hit in the head by an errant stone.

Ruby and Altair started to clap their hands as all the crowds cheered for them as he with Ruby is going to congrats to them 

Watching from the stands, Ruby Rose and Altair see them start to walk away and excitedly get up from her seat with the rest of her team to meet them at one of the exits.

Ruby: (catching up and spreading her arms as she calls out) Penny!

Penny: Ruby and Altair! (lifting up her own arms, she tackles her friend into a hug that leaves them both of them on the ground)

Altair sees Panny hugging her while he letting her tackles her on the ground and smiles at them behind his hood as they both stand up.

Penny: It's so lovely to meet you two how are you today Altair? your match against DGTL is so amazing!

Altair: Hehe Thank you, Penny, You with your teammate are very impressive.

Penny: Thank you very much. Ruby. Altair. This is my Teammate.

Ciel: Ciel Soleil

She said to both Altair and Ruby he and Ruby looked at each with shrugs as he started to introduce himself first.

Altair: Hello there, I'm-

Ciel: Altair Phoenix, 16, Hails from Atlas, Legendary son of Nikolai Phoenix, One Man Team, Status: Active. And Ruby Rose. 15. Hails from Patch. Leader of Team RWBY. Status: Questionable.

Altair and Ruby shrug each other and she started to tell Penny again about the fighting in the tournament with her teammate.

Ruby: Sooo... Penny! You two were incredible out there. How do you keep control of all those swords? It's so cool!

Ciel: Penny? (looks at her watch and gestures at it) I believe it is best if we move on to our next location.

Penny: (exchanges a look with Ruby and Altair before asking Ciel) Could we have just a minute to talk?
