Caroline Cordovin controls the giant Atlesian mech, which trudges through the ocean, and goes after the airship Maria Calavera and Weiss Schnee took before.

Weiss: "You're joking, right? You want to fight this thing?!"

Ruby: "We've fought giant monsters before. This is just a tiny old lady... with one very big robot."

Cordovin: "You little spider-roaches thought you could creep your way to Atlas?! Well, let's see how your resolve holds out against the might of the Atlesian Military!"

Cordovin prepares to take down the airship with a missile that pops out from a slot on the arm cannon. The missile fires and tracks the airship, but suddenly, it explodes harmlessly just right behind it. Cordovin turns to see Ruby with her Crescent Rose. Ruby lowers her weapon and glares at Cordovin while the others get ready to fight.

Cordovin: "Grrrrr...SO BE IT!!"

Cordovin prepares to shoot the missile at Ruby and the others. Weiss and Maria sees Cordovin doing so in shock.

Weiss: "Dive!"

Weiss unbuckles her seatbelt and gets off from her seat while Maria dives for the landing. As Maria heads to the others, Weiss approaches the airship door with Myrtenaster in her hand. She jumps off and raises her weapon creating a rock wall and protecting the group from Cordovin's ice Dust attack. Mecha than fires the blaster, and Penny does the same.

But all this did was scratch it, and nothing else, though Penny's shrapnels did do more damage than Mech's weapons.

Oscar: "That was close."

Ruby: "We need to figure out how to stop Cordovin and protect the airhsip until we do."

Jaune: "Let's give her more targets to focus on."

Nora: "You mean us, don't you?"

Jaune: "Look at that thing. It's not designed for small enemies. It's probably meant for giant Grimm that come in from deeper waters. We can turn our size into an advantage. We just have to be smart."

Ruby: "Maria, can you keep the ship out of harm's way?"

Maria: "They can take my driver's license, but I won't let them take this ship!"

Ren just looks very emotionlessly.

Ren: "Very reassuring..."

Oscar: "I'll be more useful if I go with her. From up high, I can try to spot a weakness."

Qrow: "Well, he's not the only one who can grab a bird's eye view."

Qrow spoke with a smile

Weiss: "You said you needed me on the ground"

Ruby than smiled really nervously.

Ruby: Not exactly.

As the team strategizes, Cordovin keeps an eye on their location keenly. Suddenly, her eyes widen as the group splits into three: Jaune, Nora and Ren run down the left path along the cliff, Maria flies the airship to the right, and Ruby and Qrow fly straight up into the air using her Semblance and his corvid form, respectively. Ruby reforms from her Semblance and fires Crescent Rose, cracking the mech's windshield and causing Cordovin to growl. She fires a volley of missiles to Ruby's location. Summer and Pyrrha used their weapons in gun mode, and fires really explosive rounds. But it didn't scratch it

Ruby lands on a tree branch and uses her Semblance to dodge the missiles. She eventually reforms and runs and jump along the missiles before freefalling down to the ocean. An incoming wave is frozen by Weiss as Ruby slides along it.

Ruby: "Let's go!"

Weiss also slides off the frozen wave before using Myrtenaster to freeze small patches of ice for her and Ruby to leap on toward the mech. As Cordovin keeps her attention on them, her mech is suddenly struck by a volley of pink grenades.

Jaune: "Hey! Over here!"

Cordovin: "What?!"

Cordovin looks over to Jaune's group as they keep running.

Nora: "And you said it wasn't beach season!"

The three then take cover behind a boulder for each of them. Nora fires off more grenades from Magnhild, but suddenly, a hexagonal shield pattern appears protecting Cordovin's mech, doing no damage to her.

Cordovin: "Hahahahaha...Surely you knew Atlas was the father of hard-light Dust, or do lesser kingdoms simply lack proper education?"

Cordovin charges up her mech's arm cannon again, this time firing rock Dust, forcing Jaune's team to abandon their cover.

Jaune: "Cordo just activated shields!"

Oscar: "I saw that. We need to find whatever's generating it."

Ruby: "You know, in video games, the weak spot's usually on the back of the giant boss!"

Weiss: "Ruby, this isn't a game!"

Ruby: "I'm just trying to-- LOOK OUT!!"

Cordovin's mech is seen stomping at a part of the ocean. Unbeknownst to her, Qrow flies around in his avian form.

Cordovin: "You are ants! You are lower than ants!"

As Qrow and Summer flies through the clouds, he transforms back into his human form and takes out Harbinger's scythe form. They propels himself forward and grapples onto the giant mech.

Cordovin: "Ah! What was that?!"

Qrow: "Until the shield's down, we're gonna have to get up close and personal with this thing."

Summer: "Than find something that's making the shields.

Qrow starts to fire at the scratch he just made. Suddenly, he notices the mech's giant hand start to reach for him. Qrow dodges out of the way, transforming back into his avian form.

Ren: "That's easier said than done!"

Ruby: "Weiss and I are on it!"

Ruby and Weiss land on a patch of ice on the ocean together.

Weiss: "Hold on!"

Weiss stabs Myrtenaster into the ground, creating an ice attack that knocks Cordovin's mech off balance for a bit. Cordovin let's out a frustrated yell. As the airship flies by, Oscar realizes something.

Oscar: "Wait, that's it. When she..."

Suddenly, Cordovin aims her cannon at Ruby and Weiss.

Oscar: (gasps) RUBY, MOVE!!

Cordovin fires a volley of missiles at Ruby and Weiss, creating a large plume of water. From it, Weiss and Ruby emerge unharmed as they ride Weiss' Queen Lancer summon.

Ruby leaps off and uses Cresecent Rose to propel herself onto Cordovin's mech, embedding the scythe's blade into it. Maria cheers Ruby on. The force of Ruby's strike knocks the mech back into the cliffside, the tremors being felt by the citizens in Argus. Cordovin let's out an enraged scream. But Penny than fired an Abyss Shard, bypassing Hard-light, and damaged the arm as it is lodged in it.

Cordovin: "What?!"

Penny. "But one of the crystals can, and besides..."

She than looked at her colored fingernails with pride.

Penny: "I like these on me."

Jaune: "Go!!"

Jaune, Ren and Nora proceed forward. Ren leaps onto the mech's arm and runs along it, while also using the blades of StormFlower to hang on. Jaune uses the twohandler form of Crocea Mors to slash at the mech's hip joint, while Nora uses the hammer form of Magnhild to smash at the arm cannon. Cordovin manages to stand the mech back up, causing Ruby to be lowered down into her view on the windshield. Ruby hangs on to Crescent Rose as she nervously smiles and waves at Cordovin.

Cordovin: "Get off of me!"

Cordovin tries to grab Ruby with the mech's left hand, forcing Ruby to let go as she uses her Semblance to fly downward. Luckily, Weiss flies by on her Queen Lancer summon and catches Ruby. Summer than steps in and shoots fire dust at the mech, creating some explosions to stop it.

Ruby: "Heh."

Weiss: "What if I hadn't caught you?"

Ruby: I knew you would.

Ruby spoke with a grin on her face.

Weiss just groans. As they fly around the mech, Ren lowers himself down along the mech's back. He notices a panel with a humming machine sound coming from it. Ren uses one of his blades to pry the panel off, but almost falls as the mech keeps moving around. Fortunately, Qrow appears and catches his wrist. Mecha and Pyrrha are with them.

Qrow: "Gotcha. What'd ya find?"

Qrow tosses Ren back up as the both of them look at the panel he just opened. They see a whirring machine with the label "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY, SHIELD GENERATOR" written on top of it.

Qrow: "Well, alright then."

Mecha: That is just to obvious.

Qrow, Ren, Mecha, and Pyrrha draw their weapons and shoot at the machinery, disabling the mech's shields. Cordovin watches her screen as the shields are reduced to zero.

Cordovin: "No, no, no, no!!"

Cordovin then feels a tremor as Nora fires a volley of grenades at her.

Nora: "You get back here with my man!"

As Nora continues firing at Cordovin, Weiss and Ruby fly by to Ren and Qrow.

Weiss: "Jump on!"

The two men do so. Nora continues to fire until she runs out of ammo. Suddenly, Jaune notices Cordovin lifting up the mech's arm. He runs over to Nora.

Cordovin: "I've had enough of you ingrates!"

Cordovin slams the mech's arm into both Jaune and Nora, knocking them back and breaking their Auras. The two struggle to get back up.

Ren: "No!"

Suddenly, Weiss gasps as Cordovin fires the mech cannon at her group at point blank range, destroying the Queen Lancer summon and knocking herself, Ren, Qrow and Ruby back over to the cliff. Ruby uses her Semblance to fly back over to the cliff, but falls short. Ruby embeds the blade of Crescent Rose into the cliffside and holds on for dear life. She notices Cordovin approaching her.

Cordovin: "This is what happens when you think you know better than those rightfully in charge!"

From the airship, Oscar notices Ruby in trouble and runs over to Maria.

Oscar: "We gotta do something!"

Maria flicks some switches on the controls and flies back over to the mech. Just as Cordovin is about to fire her arm cannon at Ruby, Maria flies by and fires a missile. Suddenly, the mech grabs the missile with its hand, causing Cordovin to turn the mech around to Maria's direction.

Cordovin: "Calavera..."

Everyone watches helplessly as Cordovin fires the missile toward the airship's direction. The missile explodes in front of the airship, causing it to rattle...but Mecha and Penny jumped in and fight the Mech. First, Mecha made a shield around the Airship, than goes to face off against Cordovin.

Mecha fires his Mecha Gaster Blasters, while Penny utilize the Swords to blast as well. But it didn't even faze it. So Mecha used his Disco Bombs, and posed dramatically.

Mecha: Get ready to shine like a Star here, Darling!

He than throws the bomb, and the Mech takes a hate, which made Cordovin more angered.

Cordovin: "How about I turn you to nothing more than scrap?!"

She than fired a missile at Mecha, who used his shield. But it was still powerful enough to send him back.

Mecha: GAAAAHHHHH!!!

Mecha was than launched into the tree, and was rather knocked unconscious. But as that happened, the Abyss Crystal than enters inside of Mecha, and the Heart-Shaped aura enters the Crystal.

Penny: "MECHA!!!"

She than gets in front of Mecha, and prepares to fight off Cordovin to protect her beloved.

Back at the Forest..

Blake Belladonna and Adam Taurus continue to fight each other intensely. Their blades clang loudly as they clash back and forth. As their blades lock, Blake hears a distant explosion from behind her. Blake's distraction causes her to dodge quickly from Adam's attack. Blake uses the kusarigama form of Gambol Shroud to grapple and swing from tree to tree. Adam gives chase.

Adam: "Can you do anything besides run?!"

Adam then jumps onto a tree trunk and leaps off of it as he continues to pursue Blake, who continues leaping from branch to branch. Adam then fires Wilt and it crashes into Blake's kusarigama just as she was about to grapple onto another tree. Due to her loss of momentum, Adam manages to catch up and slash at her, but he merely just slashes Blake's trench coat off. Blake then kicks off Adam, knocking him back. As Blake lands back on the ground, she fires at Adam, who blocks some of her shots but some manage to still hit him. The two then leap out of the forest and find themselves on a natural stone bridge in front of a waterfall.

The two then clash again, with Blake evading Adam's attacks with her own Semblance. Blake manages to catch Adam's sword with her own cleaver/sheath, leaving Adam to defend himself with Blush. Eventually, Adam catches Blake's wrist and blocks her katana with Blush.

Adam: "I wouldn't have to be doing this if you just behaved!"

Suddenly, Adam grabs his sword and flings away Blake's cleaver, before knocking her in the side of her head with the hilt of Wilt. Blake gets knocked back several feet.

Adam: "But you're selfish!"

Adam knocks Blake back again.

Adam: "You're a coward!"

Adam again knocks Blake back a few feet.

Blake: "You're delusional...!"

Adam then points his sword at Blake's abdominal scar that he gave her before. Adam then uses his Semblance, which causes Blake's katana blade to break in half. The broken weapon clatters a few feet away from Blake.

Adam then stops to remove the blindfold from his eyes.

Adam: "People hurt me long before we met... All sorts of people in all sorts of ways...

Blake looks away sadly upon hearing this.

"... but no one hurt me quite like you..."

Blake looks back up to Adam as she sees his own eyes: his right eye a healthy blue eye, his left eye scarred permanently with a brand labeled "SDC".

Adam: "You didn't leave scars, you just left me alone."

As Adam continues talking, Blake hears a certain motorcycle drawing close.

Adam: "So... tell me, Blake... how does it feel to be alone?"

Blake doesn't pay attention to what Adam says as she hears the noise get closer. Suddenly, Adam raises his sword and lets out a loud yell in fury as he stabs Blake in the abdomen.

Suddenly, her form disappears, another Semblance clone. Adam then looks behind him as Blake picks up her cleaver.

Blake: "I'm not alone."

Suddenly, from above the waterfall, Yang Xiao Long drives off the cliff and hurls her motorcycle, which crashes into Adam, knocking him down, before falling off into the river below.

Yang lands a few feet away from Blake as she stares down Adam.

Adam: "You..."

Yang fires a shot Adam, which he blocks. Yang then activates the shotgun in her Ember Celia.

Blake: "Yang!"

Suddenly, Blake falls to her knee as she holds her stomach in pain.

Yang: "It's okay. Catch your breath for a second. I can hold him off."

Adam: "She's right, Blake. It's okay, we have... unfinished business."

The two combatants stare each other down. Adam makes the first move, delivering a series of quick slashes and Semblance arcs that knock Yang back a short distance.

Eventually, Yang starts to strike back, managing to land some hits on Adam that he wasn't able to block.

Yang knocks Adam back a good distance before firing at him. He blocks and absorbs the shots with his sword. Adam then quickly runs in circles around Yang before letting out another Semblance attack that causes Yang to slide back a short distance.

Blake: "His Semblance is like yours! He absorbs energy through his sword, stores it up and then sends it back when he's ready."

Yang: He gets to dish out damage without having to feel it? Haaaa...That's just cheap...

The two proceed to trade blows again. Yang lands a series of punches and kicks on Adam, but he manages to send her back when she punches his sword. Yang gets knocked back next to Blake and the two share a glance with each other. Adam notices this and lets out an angered growl. He readies his Semblance once again.

Blake: "YANG!!"

With a loud yell, Adam lets out a devastating attack with his Semblance. When the smoke clears, Yang is still standing, though her Ember Celia has some small scrathes in it and her foot barely hangs off the edge of the bridge. She lowers her arm and glares at Adam.

Yang: "Leave. Us. Alone. This is your last chance."

Adam stares back at the two as he grips the hilt of his sword again. Yang's left arm trembles slightly.

Adam: "Heh, do you really believe that? Or are you just trying to scare me away so you won't have to die trying to protect her?"

Yang, angered, prepares to fight him again despite her hand still trembling. Suddenly, Blake takes Yang's hand with her own.

Blake: "She's not protecting me, Adam. And I'm not protecting her."

Adam glares back at the two of them angrily.

Blake: "We're protecting each other."

The two partners stand hand in hand in solidarity as they glare at Adam together...

Back with Kage...

Kage is now using his Obscruo Gaster Blasters to try and make whatever giant Grimm is coming here.

"This is so frustrating! I should be helping them instead of staying here!"

But under the water, a giant Grimm is prepareing to surface back up.

At the Argus base...

the Atlesian guards watch the screen as Caroline Cordovin's Colossus is seen trying to swipe at the airship Maria Calavera and Oscar Pine are in.

Cordovin: "You just couldn't keep this rivalry between us, could you, Calavera?! You had to rope in children to fail with you!"

The guards cheer on their boss as she fires another shot from the mech's arm cannon. Unbeknownst to them, a red dot appears on one of the radar's screens approaching Argus. Penny is prepareing to defend Mecha, when suddenly, he began to shine...

Penny: "Oh my...Mecha?"

Back at the cliffside...

Ruby Rose is still holding onto Crescent Rose for dear life. Oscar notices this from the airship.

Oscar: "Ruby!"

Ruby eventually makes her back up to the top of the cliff by using Crescent Rose's blade to climb back up. She regroups with Weiss Schnee, Lie Ren, and Qrow Branwen.

Oscar: "Ruby, can you hear me? Are you guys okay?"

Ruby: "Are we okay?!"

Oscar: I know, we were supposed to lay low, but listen! I think I finally found a weakness!

Nora: "Well, we're all ears."

Ruby and her friends notice Nora Valkyrie helping Jaune Arc over.

Ren: "Guys!"

Ren runs over to his teammates.

Oscar: The cylinder on Cordo's cannon rotates and locks in a giant Dust cartridge every time she changes attack styles.

Weiss: "We noticed."

Oscar: Right, but her missile launcher doesn't lock in, it pops out! Without her shields, one well-placed shot could detonate the missiles while they're still in the launcher!

Jaune: "We could destroy the entire cannon... Oscar, that's brilliant!"

Nora: "Can you... make that kind of shot?"

Ruby: "We'll only get one chance before she catches on. I'd have to be practically staring down the barrel of her cannon."

Maria: "Well, I've got a way to guarantee that."

Maria flies the airship back over to Ruby's group. She stops with the hatch doors open. Ruby runs forward.

Qrow: "Ruby, what are you doing?!"

Ruby hops into the airship and heads off to do her part. The others watch the airship heading towards Cordo's mech. Ruby smiles at Maria and Oscar.

In the mech, one of the screens has a popup message saying "ARGUS BASE INCOMING CALL". Cordovin notices this, but her attention is then drawn away.

Maria: "Hey, Cordo! I've got one missile left and I know exactly where I'm gonna stick it!"

Cordovin: "hehehehe...One missile you say? That's a shame, Maria, because I have plenty!"

Cordovin has the missile launcher pop out from the mech's arm cannon while Maria continues flying toward her.

Oscar: "ARE YOU TWO CRAZY?!!"

Maria: "Sometimes the best approach is simply the most direct!"

As the airship moves closer, Ruby gets into position and aims at Cordovin's mech cannon. Cordovin gasps as she pulls up a screen, noticing Ruby and catching on to her plan.

Cordovin: "You!"

Ruby pulls the trigger, but suddenly, the missile launcher retracts back into the arm cannon and the bullet is deflected. Everyone gasps in shock.

Cordovin: "You thought you could fool me?!"

She readies the arm cannon again, this time about to fire a lightning Dust attack.

Oscar: "Pull up!!"

Maria pulls up the airship, but it still gets partially caught in the blast. The rest of the group on the cliff move out of the way. The airship is affected by the electricity, and Maria screams in pain as her prosthetic eyes close shut.

Maria: "I can't see! My eyes!"

Oscar: "No, no, no!!l

Maria: "Take control!!"

Oscar grabs the joystick as he barely gains control of the airship.

Oscar: "We're gonna crash! We're gonna CRASH!!"

The rest of the group emerge from the smoke on the cliffside, coughing.

Jaune: Look!

The group watches as the airship crash lands into the forest. As Weiss gasps, Qrow runs and transforms into his avian form and flies over to the crash site.

At the crash site, the engines can be heard shutting down.

Oscar: "We're... we're still in one piece!"

Suddenly, Oscar hears the stomping of Cordovin's mech. Ruby stumbles out of the airship before collapsing to her knees.

Cordovin: Hahaha..Very clever, but even the smartest apes can't compete with the intellect of man.

Ruby uses Crescent Rose to stand herself back up. She looks over to the airship to see Maria repairing her prosthetic eyes as Oscar watches in concern.

Maria: "Come on, come on!"

Ruby then looks toward Cordovin with a determined expression and walks forward. Suddenly, Qrow appears and takes his niece's hand.

Qrow: "Ruby, stop!"

Ruby looks back to her uncle, still bearing her determined expression. Qrow gasps.

Ruby: "I need you to trust me."

Qrow closes his eyes and ultimately relents as Ruby pulls her hand away. She walks to the edge of the cliff and stands face to face with Cordovin's mech.

Cordovin: "Surrender for your crimes, and accept your punishment."

Ruby: "No!"

Cordovin gasps in shock as Ruby's friends look to her.

Ruby: "We're going to Atlas. Bigger people than you have tried to stop us and failed, but we're supposed to be on the same side! We're supposed to use our power to protect people, but you just use yours to look down on everyone!"

Cordovin ponders Ruby's words.

Ruby: "We didn't want to steal from you. We did it because you gave us no other choice! Now I'm giving you one last chance to stand down and hear us out."

Silence for a moment.

Cordovin: "I've heard enough..."

Cordovin then aims her arm cannon at Ruby. Ruby's friends run over to her in panic.

Oscar: "Ruby!!"

Qrow gains a look of horror on his face as Cordovin fires up the arm cannon. Suddenly, an Energy Blast came out of nowhere, and hit the Mech in the arm.

Cordovin: "HUH?! WHO DID THAT?!"

Before she can look, a voice spoke out.

I did, Darling!

She looked, and was shocked at who it is.

Mecha has absorbed the Abyss Crystal, and also has access to the Abyss, and has repaired the damage that he had. In this chase, the hole in his chest has been repaired completely. He than used his Disco Gun, which has a Crystal at the barrel, and shot both an energy blast and Abyss Shards hidden inside it, causing immense damage to it. Penny joined in as well. But he wasn't the only with tricks. As Cordovin tried to aim at him, an Magical Slash of energy appears out of nowhere, and hits the Mech, as well as a fire bullet.

Papyrus and May had returned, after they had jammed the other radio signal from afar.

Papyrus: "You are not hurting anyone we protect!"

May: "Nor the ones that we had so depended on."

Using the distraction to her advrange, Ruby uses her Semblance and flies into the arm cannon.

Cordovin: "WHAT?!!"

Nora: "She's NUTS!!"

Ruby continues flying into the arm cannon.

Jaune: "The missile launcher springs out... but the raw dust gets locked in!"

Inside the arm cannon, Ruby plants Crescent Rose into the ground and takes aim at the buildup of Dust. She fires and uses her Semblance to quickly get out of the arm cannon. Suddenly, the arm cannon explodes, covering it in ice and stone.

Cordovin: "What?! No! NO!!"

As Ruby flies backward, her Aura runs out and falls unconscious. Her fall is slowed down by Black Glyphs from Weiss, and Qrow catches his niece in his arms. Weiss collapses in exhaustion as Jaune, Ren and Nora run over to her.

Qrow: Ruby? Ruby!

Ruby opens her eyes and smiles at her uncle.

Ruby: Told ya.

Summer: "That was so brilliant. Reckless, but brilliant, Ruby."

The Atlesian airship's engines can be heard coming back on as it hovers lightly above the ground. Maria managed to fix her eyes.

Maria: "Oh, don't tell me I missed it!"

Pyrrha: "You did, Maria. Really."

Meanwhile...

Adam: "You knew you couldn't win two-on-one at Haven. What makes you so sure you can win now?"

Blake: "I don't have a choice. I have people who actually care about me, and I promised I'd never leave them again. So I'm not dying now."

Yang Xiao Long smiles at her partner's words before glaring back at Adam.

Adam: "You know, she made a promise to me once. That she'd always be at my side. Heh, and look how well she's kept it."

Yang: "Did she make that promise to you? Or to the person you were pretending to be?"

Silence.

Adam: "So I wasn't just good enough for you?"

Blake: "You know it's so much more than that."

Adam: "I know you've made your choice... and I've made mine."

The three combatants then take defensive stances as they resume their battle. Blake and Yang rush forward together. The two of them work together to strike at Adam with a series of back and forth blows and slashes. Blake grabs the bottom portion of her broken Gambol Shroud katana and throws it at Adam, but he deflects it back at her. Yang notices this and grabs the pistol and uses the ribbon to swing Blake around. Blake uses her cleaver to clash with Adam's sword, but he sends her flying back. Blake's back hits the cliffside of the waterfall, depleting her Aura. She nearly falls off the ledge and hangs on for dear life.

Yang: "Blake!"

She then turns around and angrily glares at Adam.

Adam: "Moment of truth, Yang. Do you think you're faster than you were at Beacon?"

This causes Yang to gasp and tremble slightly. Adam notices this and chuckles.

Adam: "Me neither."

Adam rushes forward. Yang manages to dodge most of his attacks, but she is then knocked to the ground.

Adam: "Your Aura's bound to be running low."

Yang pants for breath as Adam angrily grunts at her. Meanwhile, Blake struggles to climb up.

Adam: "Hit me already!"

Yang dodges.

Adam: "What does she even see in you?!!"

Yang gets knocked back. Blake continues her climb.

Adam: "You're just a coward like her!!"

Adam unleashes an attack with his Semblance toward Yang. However, at the last second, Yang's eyes turn red.

The attack hits Yang, creating a cloud of dust. Adam rushes forward and swings his sword down.

When the dust clears, Adam looks in shock as Yang has caught his sword with her prosthetic hand. Her hair burns bright, activating her Semblance.

Yang: "Gotcha..."

Yang then cocks her left arm's Ember Celica. She pulls Adam toward her and punches him hard enough to disarm him and send him flying back. The force of the attack depletes Adam's Aura. Adam stands back up and tries to fight again, only to realize his sword is missing. Yang still has it in her hand.

Yang: "I may not be faster..."

She said, as her own Aura depletes.

"... but I'm smarter."

Yang then throws Wilt over the bridge.

Adam: "No!!"

Adam fails to reach his sword in time as he watches it fall. Suddenly, Blake reappears and uppercuts Adam as she jumps back on to the bridge. Adam stumbles backward. Suddenly, he notices one half of Gambol Shroud's katana on the ground. He and Blake rush forward to pick it up, but Blake grabs it before he can. Yang then runs forward and grabs the broken blade of Gambol Shroud. Both girls then impale Adam from the front and back, each with a piece of Blake's weapon simultaneously.

Adam looks down at his bleeding chest as he twitches.

Adam: "Oh..."

Blake and Yang both pull their blades out and watch Adam stumble towards the edge of the bridge. He falls to his knees and his eyes start to roll back. He slumps forward and falls off the bridge. On his fall down, his body hits the cliffside with a sickening crunch, before disappearing into the water below.

Adam Taurus is finally dead.

Suddenly, Blake starts to sob and falls to her knees as she breaks down crying. Yang runs over to hug her. Blake hugs back. She than speaks in a tearful way.

Blake: "I... I am not going to break my promise, I swear."

Yang than cups Blake's face, as she speaks, reassuringly.

Yang: "I know you won't."

The two girls continue to embrace as Blake continues to sob.

Back at the cliffside...

Cordovin is still struggling to pick up the mech's arm cannon.

No! No, no, no, NO!!! You! You're never getting to Atlas! Do you hear me?! NEVER!!!

She than presses a button on the controls.

"All forces converge on my position and eliminate these pests at once!"

Oscar: "Crap!"

Maria: "Everyone on board! We're making a run for it!"

Jaune: "What about Yang and Blake?"

Back in the mech, one of the screens read "ARGUS BASE CHANNEL OPEN".

Atlas Soldier: "Ma'am, we've been trying to reach you! Argus is in danger!"

Cordovin's expression widens in horror.

Cordovin: "What?"

At the Argus base, various Atlas personnel all rush to their battle stations. A pair of guards are seen looking out at the ocean. In the distance, a towering Grimm can be seen stomping in the water towards Argus. It lets out a terrifying roar.

The Atlas guards then turn around and notice a massive legion of Manticores and Sphinxs in the air above the city of Argus.

Atlas Soldier: "It's a Leviathan! It began its approach during your battle! We need you!"

Ruby looks back to her friends in horror, who all share equally concerned expressions. They look to Cordovin's mech, still struggling to lift up its arm cannon...
