I am so sorry if I get the spelling of some names wrong. Please let me know what their actual spellings are in a private message and I will correct them. Thanks.

Ruby stared at the tower above her. Pyrrah was up there, at least, that's what Jaune said. The dragon was gone, it just seemed to have vanished, but that meant less work for them. "Get me up there." Ruby said to Weiss, who merely nodded, before casting glyphs up the side of Beacon Tower, which was almost in ruins. Ruby activated her semblance: speed, got out her sweetheart of a weapon, Crescent Rose, in gun form, and blasted her way up the wall.

Sometime earlier...
...
The library filled with a low thrum, the sound of familiar engines resonating in the air. The man left the building, cloak billowing in the wind as a Bulwark* landed nearby, the only thing setting it apart from all the rest was a red stripe down the middle. A screech echoed in the distance, and the man quickened his pace. "She's early!" he shouted to the pilot.
"I know Breydon! That's why we're doing this now!" the pilot shouted back as he quickly took off towards Beacon Academy.
"Then let's get this ship moving, Ronan!" As they sped over the city, the destruction was apparent. King Tiagau's roamed freely in downtown Vale, the giant serpents wreaking havoc and chaos wherever they went. Packs of Beowulfs and their Alpha's killed as they pleased, slaying human and faunus, men and women, old and young, without distinction. Members of the White Fang, the faunus resistance group joined the battle, but fighting with the Grimm creatures. The skies teemed with activity, Nevermores and Griffons attacking any who dared to venture too close and those who merely were in front of them.
"Curse that scum. Cinder will pay for this. I will make sure of that. You holding up okay?" Ronan asked, glancing over his shoulder to Breydon, who took his cloak off.
"Oh yeah! Just get me close, and I'll be able to kill her. I'm sure of that."
...
Ruby was firing her way up the wall still. Surprisingly, it was taking her a long time, even with her speed, Crescent Rose, and the glyphs. A Bulwark flew nearby, a red stripe down the middle, circling the tower with one of it's bay doors open.
...
Pyrrah was losing. Badly. Her armor was only slowing her down, and each hit she took felt like she was hit by an Ursa Major. She watched as Cinder vanished and reappeared behind her, bow drawn. A burning pain embedded itself into her leg, causing her to cry out in pain. Pyrrah collapsed, unable to stand and aura drained. Cinder strolled around and face Pyrrah, bow drawn again.
...
Ruby finally shot above the tower, landing swiftly on her feet, Crescent Rose now in it's battle scythe form. She watched as Cinder released the arrow, but even Ruby wasn't fast enough to do anything. Time slowed down, and the arrow seemed to inch closer. Six inches away, and Ruby watched in horror as realization dawned on Pyrrah's face. Four inches now, and Ruby couldn't move, merely shocked by what she was seeing. Two inches left, and Pyrrah could almost feel the arrow in her skin, feel her life slipping away, feel her semblance disintegrate. A bright glimmer of white blasted out of nowhere, zipping past Ruby, and collided with the arrow, not just hitting it, but destroying the arrowhead completely. The now tip-less arrow bounced harmlessly off of Pyrrah's armor, not even scratching it. The white object was a spearhead, with a very thin cable attached to it, almost invisible to the human eye. It embedded itself into one of the remaining walls on the tower, and the cable snapped taut.
...
"I got it! See ya! Good luck!" Breydon shouted as he got yanked from the Bulwark, and towards the tower.
"Be careful! It's collapsing!" Ronan shouted back.
...
Ruby, Pyrrah, and most of all, Cinder were all shocked. Pyrrah lived, the arrow destroyed. Heads slowly turned towards the source of the spearhead, and they all saw a man in dark blue clothing hurling himself towards them. The cable whizzed next to Ruby, only inches away from her face. The Bulwark she had seen earlier was circling closer now, bay doors closed. The strange man yanked on the pole he was carrying, and the cable loosened; the spearhead was dislodged from the wall. He flipped in the air, sailing over Ruby, boots colliding with Cinder's bow. Ruby snapped out of her trance, and ran over to Pyrrah, who was clutching her leg. "Can you move?" Pyrrah shook her head, on the verge of tears. Ruby moved to help her up, but the sound of metal clashing with metal made her stop. The strange man was not just holding his own against Cinder, but was beating her. His weapon was a pike, just a bit taller than he was, but it was the way he used it that intrigued her.
There was only one tip, but he used it for blocking blows, as well as crushing swipes. Ruby stood, anger welling up insider her as she remembered all the things that had happened because of Cinder. Crescent Rose at her side, she struck. Hard. Cinder was now outnumbered, but certainly not outmatched.
...
Breydon struck again and again, each blow harder than the last. "You can't win Cinder." He said quietly.
"That's what you think." She said back, sending a volley of arrows towards him. Cinder's aura protected her as the red-clad, scythe-weilding, Grimm Reaper-like girl slashed at her back. Now flanked, Breydon took the opportunity to strike at Cinder's back, but she was too good, somehow twisting and turning her bow to block him. He watched the girl out of the corner of his eye, observing her fighting style. He noticed how she attacked very aggressively, but was proficient at blocking blows as well. When she would strike, she used a series of swipes and shots combined, but wouldn't leave herself open to attacks. Finally, he saw an opportunity. He thrust out with his pike, but Cinder caught it, just like he had hoped. He jumped around his pike, turning it in place as he soared, then yanking it free of Cinder's grasp, breaking her guard.
...
Ruby saw what he was doing, and took careful aim. Just as the strange man broke her guard, she shot her last bullet: her ace in the hole, her last resort: a single bullet, lined with fire dust. The shot made it's mark, sending flames all over the tower. In the moment that Cinder was stunned, the man grabbed her by her dress, lifting her off the ground, and hurled her off the tower. Ruby watched for a few seconds, before she fell from view. The man walked over to one of the last remaining parts of the wall, and slouched down, panting. "It's over. She's gone." he said. He started chuckling, even smiling. "Thank you. I couldn't have done it without your help. What is your name?"
"I'm Ruby Rose. What's yours?"
"I am Breydon Wulv. It's pleasure to meet you."
