"NEO!"

Roman shrieked, as he saw his partner in crime as well as his best(and only) friend fly off into the Grimm-filled sky in a Mary Poppins manner that would've made him laugh if not for the context in which it happened

Meanwhile, Ruby was getting to her feet and faced the only other person fighting her. "I don't care what you think! We will stop them! And I will stop you! BET ON THAT!", Ruby shouts as she uses her semblance to charge at Torchwick at full speed.

Roman snapped out of his senses and then, using some of his Aura, sent off a powerful shot from his cane and then sent it out from the curved part of said cane towards Ruby, knocking her down. Ruby got up and charged at Roman again. Roman then proceeded to shoot her at point-blank with his cane, sending Ruby to the ground once more.

"You've got spirit Red, but THIS IS THE REAL WORLD!" *Roman hits Ruby with his cane". "The real world is cold!" *hits her again* "The real world doesn't care about spirit!" *Ruby manages to kick Roman a couple feet away*

"You wanna be a hero?! Then play the part and die like every other huntsman in history!" *Roman hits Ruby one final time*

"As for me, I'll do what I do best. Lie, steal, cheat, and SURVI-" *Roman gets eaten by a Grimm*

*The Grimm roars at Ruby and charges at her. Ruby jumps and knocks the Grimm into the ship, causing it to make a hole in the ship as well as an explosion*

*Ruby then proceeds to speed off the ship as more holes and explosions appear from the slowly descending ship*

Speaking of the ship...

*On the inside of ship, close to where Roman and Neo were earlier, there's the body of a Grimm disappearing and a human body can be seen with the human's white jacket slightly burned and the signature hat and cane of the human where they usually are*

Roman: Owwww. Wow. I sure didn't see that one coming. I guess things are GRIMM for me. *crickets chirping* Wow I can't believe I just did that. I guess I can't DIGEST that fact. *crickets chirp again* Alright Roman you need to stop this. You're turning into Blondie.

*Roman looks around him and sees that part of the ship is, for some reason, on fire*

Roman: Woah, ok then! I know that I didn't do any of this. I'm just going to guess the ship is going down. *Roman realizes the situation he's in* Well seeing as how this might be my final moment, and since there's no one else around, at least that is alive, I guess I'll just say my final-*ship crashes, knocking Roman unconscious as he crashes into a wall*

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Beacon.

*Neo just landed after her unexpected flight due to Ruby pushing the button on her umbrella and she pulls out her scroll*

Neo: *texts Roman* Finish the fight yet, Roman?

*No response from Roman*

Neo: *texts Roman again* Uhm, Roman? You there?

*Suddenly Neo sees the ship that she and Roman were on previously start to go down*

Neo: Ohhhh noooo. *Neo starts heading in the direction of the ship while avoiding Grimm and Huntsmen/Huntresses alike*

*The ship crashes into a building with the front part of the ship exploding*

*Neo arrives at the scene*
Neo: Roman! *begins looking through the rubble of the ship, hoping that she'll find her partner in her crime as well as her best(and honestly only true) friend.

*Neo eventually finds Roman's signature hat and cane*

Neo: Oh my gosh! *picks up the hat and cane* If these are here, then Roman can't be far away. Please Roman, please be alive!

*Neo turns as she hears some rubble being moved by a gloved figure*

Neo: *heads to see who it is* Roman?

*Roman's head as well as the rest of his body pop up out of the rubble*

*Roman gets all the rubble off of him and then he looks up into a familiar pair of pink and brown eyes*

Roman: Neo?!

Neo: Roman! *goes to pick up Roman and pulls him into a big hug* I was scared that you...you...

Roman: That I didn't survive? Neo, it's gonna take more than some overgrown bird and a ship going down to take me out. If I'm going to go out, I'll go out in a blaze of glory. *Roman is being crushed by Neo's embrace*. Neo I was scared for you equally as much but could you please lighten up, just a tiny bit?

Neo: *loosens her embrace of Roman slightly* S-Sorry.

Roman: *chuckles* It's quite alright Neo. If we switched positions I'm sure I would've done the same thing. *Roman looks around him and Neo* We should probably get to some sort of safe house before any more Grimm come at us or we're found by some of those huntsmen/huntresses.

Neo: *lets go of Roman* Yeah that sounds grand to me. Can we get ice cream on the way? *looks at Roman with pleading eyes*

Roman: *facepalms* Really, Neo? In the midst of all this *gestures his arms to the chaos and destruction*, you want ice cream?

Neo: *bumps Roman with her arm* I'm just kidding, silly Roman. *smiles at her antics*

Roman: *sighs but is slightly amused* Alright, alright. I know a safe house we could lay low in for a while. *leads Neo carefully through the streets of Beacon while they walk hand in hand*

About a half hour later, Roman and Neo are standing in front of the safe house outside of Beacon in a safe location.

Roman: Well, this will be where we live until the heat dies down, or longer depending on how things go.

Neo: *Looks up at the house*

The house is actually pretty impressive. It might only be one story, but it is well hidden and has several rooms. Including a bed room, a kitchen, a living room(with a TV obviously), a bathroom, etc.

Roman: *follows Neo inside* Well? It may not be the best but it's good for now. Do you like it?

Neo: *looks around* This is actually perfect! We have everything we need to survive, at least for now! Thanks Roman *Neo kisses Roman on the cheek*

Roman: *blushes* W-Well then, I suppose we should get settled. Let's take care of these minor injuries, have a little meal, and then get ready for bed.

Neo: Sounds like a plan!
