-In the early midday, all of the students had gathered around the hall of Beacon Academy as Team ASTR along with the teachers and Professor Ozpin were on the stage as Professor Ozpin was announcing to the students about the full scale evacuation. As he was speaking to the students about the evacuation, many of the students were mumbling and chatting amongst themselves as they began to worry about what was happening. Winter and & Qrow were at the Kingdom of Vale as they were also doing an announcement to the civilians about the evacuation. Arsene was standing behind Ozpin as he would then look up to the side to see the window at the academy hall and saw dark clouds and lightning, Arsene felt uncomfortable as he would then walk to the side as Ozpin continued talking, Arsene would jump up to the second level and look outside the window as Ozpin would stop talking and look at Arsene as everyone else did, the entire hall became silent as they watched Arsene look out at the window-
Ozpin: Is something wrong?
Arsene: I heard something. Hmm? -He gasped as his eyes widened at the sight of the trees falling down and he hordes of Grimm charging towards the Academy, he quickly turned back to everyone and yelled as he panicked- EVACUATE NOW!
Peter: What is going on?!
Arsene: The Grimm are attacking!
Glynda: How many!
Arsene: Hordes of them!
Ozpin: In that case, all students, head to the transports and prepare for evacuation, you have no time to take your belongings! Now go! -The students panicked as they would run out of the hall and head to the transport ships-
Arsene: Saber, Terra, Ray! Protect to the students as they board the transports!
Ruby: A-Arsene! What are you doing?! Let's go!
Arsene: I can't go just yet! I need to protect you guys!
Weiss: Are you crazy?! Let's just go! And you promised me that you wouldn't die!
Arsene: I will never get killed by a Grimm, that's one thing that I am sure of. -He said as he would smile at Weiss- Now go, I'll meet you at the rendezvous point!
Weiss: You better be there.. -She said as she ran with her friends. Arsene grabbed his phone and called Winter. In the city hall, Winter was standing on top of a stage with a few Atlas bots behind her as she was speaking to the civilians, her phone rang as she stopped talking and would then answer the call-
Winter: Hello? Arsene? Is something wrong?
Arsene: Evacuate the Kingdom! Beacon is being swarmed by the Grimm and there are Nevermores transporting Grimm on their backs and are heading your way!
Winter: W-What?! Why would they attack now?!
Arsene: I don't know but just get out of there! -He hung up-
Winter: Tsk! Change of plans! We are to evacuate immediately! The Grimm are on their way!
Civilian: What?! I thought it was one week from now?!
Winter: Well it has appear that the Grimm had the intention of attacking us before our prediction! Now go! -The civilians panicked as they ran. As some ran, their path was blocked by a pack of Beowolves. A Beowolf roared and charged towards one of the civilians but was shot in the head by the Atlas bots as the bots would run up to the front of the civilians and protect them as they shot whatever Grimm that came towards them as they lead the civilians to the transports- Qrow! We need to secure the perimeter!
Qrow: I know. -He said as he shot an Ursa in the head with his scythe-
Winter: Showoff.
Qrow: At least I'm not attracting attention to myself with my white hair.
Winter: Oh shush you!
-Back in the academy, there were a few Atlas bots fighting against the incoming hordes of Grimm as Arsene was still in the academy hall, he then felt a powerful earthquake as the building shook, he looked down behind him to see a Death Stalker had destroyed the walls as there were large number of Grimms running past the Death Stalker and were coming through the destroyed wall. Arsene's eyes glowed purple as a wall of ice would block the Death Stalker's path along with the other Grimm as he would then create a giant Ice King Cobra as the beast would hiss behind the wall of ice, the Death Stalker would crash into the wall of ice and charged after the Cobra as the two giants would attack each other. At the docking bay, the students were entering the transport ships as team RWBY along with team JNPR and Saber, Terra and Ray were holding off the Grimm as the students and teachers were entering the transport ships-
Weiss: There's just too many of them!
Ruby: We just gotta hold them off until Arsene can get to us!
Blake: This is just too much.
Jaune: Guys! We need to go! We have injured students here!
Weiss: I'm not leaving until Arsene is here!
"You kids sure are dramatic, I find it cute." -The sound of a familiar voice was then heard as the sight of a girl with a coco coloured outfit was seen walking out of the transport ship as she was holding onto a handbag as the bag would then transform into a gatling gun-
Ruby: It's Coco!
Saber: You ready, Coco?
Coco: Always am, Silver Princess.
Saber: Hmph! G-W-Tank! -She got into her fortified cannon forms and began firing out all of her weapons as Coco fired her shells from her gatling gun as the song "Caffeine" was being played in the background-
"Listen up, strap in, notify your next of kin,
You're about to take a ride a little on the blazing side,
Guzzle down your Red Bull, you're gonna need a bucket full,
You're watching me accelerate and tear apart the interstate.
A certified monster I'm an absolute trip,
Like Otis Redding, hard to handle so you better get a grip,
A super-fast, superfly, bonafide wise guy.
Call the morgue and say goodbye, write your will; it's time to die.
Caffeine. I'm caffeine.
Caffeine. I'm caffeine.
I'm a bad dream.
I'm a rad scene.
I'm a tad mean.
But I'm not afraid to take you out.
I'm a cheetah on the plains, I'm the highway star,
A supersonic princess in a million dollar car,
Blood on fire pumping through my veins,
Weaving in and out while I'm bolting through the lanes,
I'm hyperdrive, overdrive, hit the gas at fifty-five,
Breakneck, trainwreck, in my presence genuflect,
Track-roundin', speed-a-soundin', 'lectrifyin', pulse-poundin',
Heart-pumpin', brain-thumpin', watch me get the party jumpin'.
Caffeine, I'm caffeine.
Caffeine, I'm caffeine.
I'm a bad dream.
I'm a rad scene.
I'm a tad mean.
But I'm not afraid to take you out.[1]
Yo listen up, I hope you like it hot.
Grab yourself a mug, 'cause I made a fresh pot.
Come and get a dose of my kick-ass java.
Fuelin' your addiction with this thick black lava.
We can do up an espresso, or the cappuccino way.
Sure to get your fix, venti or grande.
Sugar, Splenda, Equal, maybe Sweet'N Low.
Everybody's happy when they hanging with Joe; let's go.
Caffeine, I'm caffeine.
Caffeine, I'm caffeine.
I'm a bad dream.
I'm a rad scene.
I'm a tad mean.
But I'm not afraid to take you out."
Yang: We got Dragons! INCOMING!
Ray: Leave them to me~ -The sight of a large number of Grimm dragons were seen flying towards the transport ships as Ray would take out a steel wand from his pocket and pointed it at the Dragons- Pew~ -He said as black magic circles would appear in the sky and fire beam of lights at the Dragons, thus killing them in a swift instant-
Yang: H-Holy.. -She was amazed at the sight of what Ray did- H-How did you do that?
Ray: Spells are my specialty after all~
-A large group of Griffons were seen flying towards the transports as Terra would transform her gauntlets into a rocket launcher and fire a missile at one of the Griffons. As the missile was flying towards the Griffon, the missile would split into multiple missiles and hit the Griffons, causing the flying beasts to melt from the corrosion of the missiles-
Terra: Go to Hell!
-The ground then shook as the ground in front of the students that were defending the transport would explode as a giant Grimm centipede would rise up from the ground-
Coco: It's a Ground Dweller!
Yang: Wait! Is this an adult!
Saber: It's a Young Ground Dweller!
Ray: Hold up! Look! -He pointed behind the ground dweller as the sight of a giant Ice Cobra was seen slithering towards the transports as it would then bit the Ground Dweller's back and wrapped its body around the Ground Dweller as Arsene jumped off of the Cobra's back and was firing his pistols at the Grimm-
Weiss: Arsene! You made it!
Arsene: We need to go! Now! -Everyone nodded as they were about to enter the transport but before they could, large wasp-like Grimms known as Lancers would fly down and grab Arsene as they pulled him up to the air- Agh! What the-?!
Weiss: Arsene!
Saber: Tsk! I hate bugs. -She said as she aimed her rifle at the insect and started shooting but it wasn't long till another Lancer grabbed onto Arsene once more to support the one that was already carrying him. Another Lancer would fly down and grab Weiss and lifted her up by the arms-
Weiss: Ahh! L-Let go of me!
Ruby: Weiss!
Yang: I'll shoot it down!
Ruby: No! Don't! Your explosions might hit her! I'll shoot it down! -She aimed her scythe at the Lancer and fired multiple shots at the Lancer that was carrying Weiss. After Arsene landed on the ground after being saved by Saber, he saw that Weiss was being carried away by the Lancer as he would then run towards it and jump over the edge and fire his shells at the Lancer and froze the Grimm's wing, causing it to let go of Weiss and drop her-
Weiss: Ahh! -She screamed as she was falling, Arsene jumped from one Lancer to another and caught Weiss as he fell down to the forests with her-
Saber: Arsene!
Ray: Saber! We gotta go! Now!
Saber: But Arsene! He's still in the forests!
Ray: Knowing that guy, it's not like a fall will kill him! Now let's go! We need to get the hell out of here!
Saber: F-Fine then.. -She would then enter the transport ship with everyone else as they took flight and the ships would quickly evacuate while the Grimm had stopped attacking the transport ships but turned their attention to the entire academy-
Terra: They stopped attacking us..
Jaune: Maybe there's something in the academy that they want.
Ruby: But Weiss and Arsene are still there!
Pyrrha: We need to go back and save them!
Ray: Don't even think about it, Sparticus. The whole academy was swarmed by the Grimm, if you head in there, you will die, no matter how powerful you are.
Ren: As much as I hate to admit it but he's right, Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: But Weiss...
Yang: Don't worry! Weiss will be fine! Since Arsene is there with her too!
Ruby: Let's hope so..
-Back down in the forests near the academy, it began to snow as the dark clouds covered the entire area in darkness. The sight of Weiss getting up from the ground was seen as her hair was down and her left arm was bleeding. She looked around to see where she was and saw that no one was around as she felt lonely while the song "Mirror Mirror" was heard-
"Mirror, tell me something,
Tell me who's the loneliest of all?
Mirror, tell me something,
Tell me who's the loneliest of all?
Fear of what's inside of me;
Tell me can a heart be turned to stone?
Mirror, mirror, what's behind you?
Save me from the things I see!
I can keep it from the world,
Why won't you let me hide from me?
Mirror, mirror, tell me something,
Who's the loneliest of all?
I'm the loneliest of all."
-Without looking through her surroundings, an Ursa appeared behind Weiss as it had its' right paw up as it was about to attack Weiss from behind, as Weiss turned to look behind her, she saw a frozen Ursa along with the sight of a tall male with white hair as he was holding onto two pistols in his hands-
Weiss: A-Arsene..?
Arsene: I'm glad that you're alright but can you fight?
Weiss: My left arm is hurt but I can try to hold out as much as I can.
Arsene: Don't. Just focus and keep an eye of our surroundings, I'll fight.
Weiss: B-But can you hold them off?
Arsene: I'll do what I can. -A Death Stalker would run through the trees and charge towards Weiss and Arsene with great speed, Arsene would aim one of his pistols at the giant Grimm and shot it at its' head once, freezing the entire Death Stalker from the one shot- We should get out of here, one way or another, if we stay here and fight, they'll swarm us.
Weiss: But where should we go?
Arsene: The closest place to Beacon, huh? It would be the Kingdom of Vale but we would have to cross the ocean to head to the Kingdom but I would only assume that the entire Kingdom is currently being raided by the Grimm. Where is your home?
Weiss: It's in the Kingdom of Atlas, why?
Arsene: Too far. We'll have to make a few stops if we were to head to your home, I'll have no choice but to head to Haven then.
Weiss: Haven?! What about Atlas?
Arsene: By the time we get to Atlas, I'm sure Ironwood would have shut down the borders and we won't be able to get it, no matter who we are.
Weiss: So Haven is a better choice?
Arsene: I have a few friends there that might be able to help us.
Weiss: How are we going to get to Haven anyway? On foot?
Arsene: Bike.
Weiss: B-Bike?
-Arsene took out what seemed to be a rectangular container from his pocket and place it down on the ground as it would transform into a black and white motorbike-
Weiss: Y-You have your own bike?
Arsene: It's actually illegal for me to carry one but I have my reasons. -He would then get on the bike as Weiss got on as well and wrapped her arms on Arsene's stomach as she put on a helmet that Arsene gave to her as Arsene would also wear a helmet and then rode out of the forest quickly before getting swarmed by the Grimm- Hopefully I have enough gas to keep going to Haven with this bike or we may have to stop by a few places before heading there.
Weiss: Just do your best, okay? As long as we can meet up with the others.
-The ground would then begin shaking as Weiss and Arsene would then turn their attention to the academy as Arsene stopped driving and saw a giant figure coming out from the ground of the academy as the Grimm ignored the two Humans and charged after the giant figure-
Weiss: Wh-What is that thing?
Arsene: Let's not stick around for too long to find out.
Weiss: I agree.
-The two would then continue to ride out and set out to Haven as the song "Ima Koko" was then played softly on Arsene's bike-
"For some reason I can't seem to get you out of my mind.
Our conversations are always filled with pauses,
Our hearts beating so fast we can't even breathe.
The moment our eyes meet I feel something pierce my chest yet again… right now!
The person I love is here, here with me now!
These outstanding days are like a parade of love beneath a clear sky!
Right now, I want to get closer to you than anyone else… even more so than I am now.
Following my heart, I'll go to see you. I'll go looking for your smile again!
When you laugh in the corner of our classroom, you shine brighter than everything surrounding you.
As we join hands for the first time, I can feel a storm building within me… right now!
Again and again, I fall in love with only you!
The more I realize, the faster this feeling accelerates.
I want to tell you exactly what I'm feeling, but for some reason…
…I always end up unable to express myself.
Why is it?
We're still incomplete—our future has only just begun.
Whether it's spring, summer, fall, or winter… I want to always be with you!
Where are you? What are you doing? Who are you thinking about?
I should just go, go, go… right now!
Go, go, go, go!
The person I love is here, here with me now!
These outstanding days are like a parade of love beneath a clear sky!
Right now, I want to get closer to you than anyone else… even more so than I am now."
Weiss: What's this song?
Arsene: It's a Japanese song. I've grown accustomed to the language so I tend to listen to their music.
Weiss: Sounds quite unique.
Arsene: Perhaps when we reach Haven, I'll show you some more music, if you'd like.
Weiss: I would love to listen to more. -She said as she smile under the helmet and laid her head on Arsene's back- By the way, what's the song about?
-Arsene got a little nervous as he blushed slightly under the helmet-
Arsene: D-Do you really want to know?
Weiss: I'm curious.
Arsene: It's a song about love.
Weiss: Love?
Arsene: Expressing one's feelings about another.
-Weiss would blush madly-
Weiss: M-Maybe you should not have told me that.
Arsene: Well you were the one who said that you were curious.
Weiss: Well that is...Oh never mind..
-Within the passing hours, the two would stop at a little cabin that was on the way to Haven. Weiss was inside the cabin as she was resting while using Arsene's coat as a blanket. Arsene was inside the cabin with Weiss as he was converting some of his dust into gasoline for his bike and as he saw Weiss sleeping soundly, he would then begin thinking to himself-
"She's a fragile girl, who is lonely. She's afraid of something, I don't know what she is afraid of but she is afraid of someone. I need to protect her at all costs and get her to the Kingdom of Atlas and bring her back home. I swear to you, Weiss. I'll bring you back to your friends and family, unhurt." -He narrated to himself as he looked at his palms and saw only dried blood on his hands as he sighed softly-
Arsene: When will this torment end..? -He asked himself quietly-
-TO BE CONTINUED-

Did you know that Arsene's bike was made by Saber's own technology? Just like her guns, Saber Moon, made her weapons on her own without the help of anyone and made the transformable bike for Arsene.
