"Let's get out of here." Ruby said, turning towards the others. "But, first; I need to know which way we came in."
Jaune patted the now closed steel door. "No way we're getting through here." He said.
"Hey, Pyrrha?" Ruby asked. "Mind opening that door?"
"I don't see why not." Pyrrha said, using her semblance to open the door.
"Thanks." Ruby said, ducking under the door, as Pyrrha could only get it up so far.
Once everyone but Pyrrha went through, Yang held the door up, and let her through. At this point, the others (excluding Ruby) were trying to find their weapons, which weren't where they left them.
"Where's our stuff?" Nora asked.
"How long was I out?" Ruby whispered, kneeling over the body of a dead man in a lab coat. She picked a gauntlet off of his skeletal remains, strapping it to her wrist, Blake asked, "What's that?"
Ruby waited, letting the machine boot up, the screen reading— "Pip-Boy." Ruby told her.
"Would you like the tutorial?" The green and black screen asked her.
"Yes." Ruby mumbled, pressing the "yes" button. "Yes, I would."
"Why's this thing so slow?" She asked no one in particular.
"Experiencing issues?" The device asked her. "Click here to find out why."
Ruby clicked the "here" and immediately regretted it. "God—" Ruby somehow stopped herself from cursing. "So much porn." She said. "I'd like to delete all."
Once she finished fiddling with the Pip-Boy, she looked towards the big vault door. "I'm assuming that's the way out?" She asked them. They collectively nodded.
Ruby looked down off the bridge that was currently folded up, preventing them from getting to the door. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a control panel, leaping over the railing, she slid across the panel. Reading the instructions, she discovered that she needed to plug her new gauntlet into the panel, and confirm her identity.
She hoped for the best, and plugged it in, the door opening as she pressed the button. However, the bridge did not go out, so Ruby backed up, and sprinted towards the door, limping as she did so, as the Stimpacks had focused themselves on her huge wound, and not her leg.
When she jumped, she fell a little short, and slammed chest-first into the side, grasping the grated floor, she managed to hold herself up. Yang let out a nervous, quiet squeal, as Ruby let out a wheeze.
"Long live the king!" Nora joked, earning a punch in the shoulder from Yang, as Ruby pulled herself up, rolling into her back to catch her breath.
After a few minutes of heavy breathing, she stood, and the others came across when she moved out of the way.
The eight followed the metallic hallway until they found a flight of stairs, Ruby leapt over the railing while the others went down the stairs. Except Nora, who did the same as Ruby.
Once they all got onto the elevator that brought them there, it went up, into the darkness.
