The kingdom of Vale has fallen into complete chaos. Cinder's plan of using the 'Black Queen' computer virus to take over all communications, has been fulfilled with the bonus of the Atlas military being completely taken over. Now with the military under her control, Cinder captured all but a few students of Beacon. She instead focused on the professors overwhelming and capturing all except Ozpin. When Cinder and her allies attacked, Ozpin had tried to fly down to the city with team JNPR, but their plane was shot down over the Emerald Forest. This left team RWBY to face an entire army of robots, White Fang, and leaders, alone. At first they seemed to be holding the machines at bay, but then a tipping point in the battle split Weiss from the rest of the team, with her facing off against Neo, Roman, and the new Penny.
"Blake, you and Ruby get out of here, I'm going to help Weiss." Yang said, as she increased the out put of her aura. Blake tried to stop her but Yang flashed her a grin, with a wink and a flash yang charged the group of robots between them and Weiss.
Blake dragged Ruby away from the battle in front of them and began a swift retreat towards the out skirts of the city.
"Where are we going?" Ruby asked, pulling away from Blake's grip, "The fight is in the completely opposite direction."
"Ruby, there is no more fight!" Blake yelled, "Yang, and Weiss, are either captured or dead. Our only hope is that team JNPR survived that crash." Ruby looked back towards the city then she nodded and followed Blake towards the Emerald forest.
Ruby and Blake found the wreckage, with team JNPR and an unconscious Ozpin lying on the ground in the middle of the wreckage. Jaune and Pyrrah sat beside Ozpin tending to his wounds, with both bandages and Jaune's recently discovered semblance. Mean while Rin tended to a cut on Nora's head. Blake took the bow off of her head and tied it around a gash on Rin's arm.
"Ruby was right, your ears are really cute." Nora said, with a grin.
Blake glared at Ruby, "We have more important things to deal with, but we'll talk about that later."
"Sorry," Ruby said timidly, "How is Professor Ozpin?"
Pyrrah looked up, "Well seeing as he used his own aura to protect us from the blast I'm surprised that he survived." She stood and focused for a moment, then summoned her weapons with her semblance, "If Jaune did not have his semblance Ozpin would more than likely be dead now."
"Is everyone else alright?" Jaune said standing. "I've done all I can for Ozpin. He needs rest but we can move him now." He looked around and found his sword. "Why don't we go to that cave where we found that Death Stalker? We can rest and regroup there."
"Okay maybe we can make a plan to get the rest of the students back," Ruby said pulling together pieces to make a gurney for Ozpin.
"That gurney will not be necessary," Ozpin said sitting up, with a groan. "Also we should go to the deserted city. I have reinforcements coming in, and that is where they will most likely be landing." Everyone looked at him surprised.
"When did you call reinforcements?" Ruby asked.
"I told Team STQR that we might need help soon, and that if I don't make contact every two days to come and defend Vale." Ozpin stood a little unsteady at first, and he picked up his cane. Then he gained his footing and started moving towards the ruined city, leaning on his cane.
"Wait," Ruby said, "Who is team sticker?"
"They are Beacon Alumni, though their leader died several years ago." Ozpin said. "They are still one of the best teams I have ever had the pleasure of teaching."
After several hours of walking, Ozpin and his students arrived at the outskirts of the ruined south east quadrant. Ozpin, using hand signals, had his students quietly take cover as he observed the area listening for movement. When he was certain that the coast was clear he stood and lead them into the tallest building on the block.
"We will camp hear for the night," Ozpin said pulling his personal scroll from his pocket. "Now if you would all please hand me your scrolls, I have some business to attend to." Once he had the scrolls in hand he placed all but his in a pile on the floor. "May I barrow your hammer Nora?" She handed him the hammer, and he immediately swung the hammer with all of his might and crushed the devices.
"Hey," Ruby started, "I had a cute picture of the team with 'The Achievemen' on that."
"I am sorry Ruby, but in my office there is a way to track all scrolls." Ozpin said oddly contorting his scroll. When he had finished the scroll ended up with four legs and then it took off out of the building with purpose. His students watched with confusion, awe, wonder, maybe a little hunger.
