A/N: Well, now that Pyrrha's gone they just have to worry about getting through those doors.

Ruby turns to her friends, everyone looks just as bewildered and relieved as her.

Blake can't get the door open, even with the pipe. Ruby tells Yang to give it a shot. Yang still smiles lopsidedly, the red glow in her eyes seem to brighten a bit more, as she moves in front of one of the doors.

"Dude, no stupid door is gonna stand in my way." Yang punches through the glass with ease.

Yang turns to the group, that strange smile still present.

"ＴＨＥ ＤＯＯＲ ＨＡＳ ＯＰＥＮＥＤ."

Did Yang's arm just change into a CLAW THING?

Ask Yang if she's feeling ok.

"...Yang, are you sure there isn't something we need to talk about? Like, right now?"

Yang gazes at Ruby with that disturbing smile.

"What are you talking about?" Yang says while looking down at both of her hands. "I feel FANTASTIC. How do you feel? Haha haha."

Ask Yang if she is injured.

"I told you earlier dude! Not a scratch!" She says, presenting her arms out toward Ruby.

Satisfied, Ruby nods and turns to the rest of the group. If she had chosen to pay attention to Yang a moment longer she would have seen the blood that dripped from her mouth.

Yang wiped it away with the back of her hand. "What." However, she didn't bring the matter up.

Reach through the hole and ulock the door.

The hallway doors have electronic locks, controlled from the office. They're usually not locked, but the doors can be locked independent of each other to block off certain section of the school in case of an emergency. Guess that explains why the infirmary was relatively safe.

Inventory check.

Everyone still has their items. Ruby sees that she still has spare batteries, but unfortunatly Pyrrha had the flashlight ahd her transformation ended up accounting for its loss. Hopefully they won't be needing it anytime soon.

King finally sets Ren down, now that all the commotion has settled. Ruby and the gang proceed to climb through the busted half of the door and make their way to the armory. It doesn't take long for them to see the door.

There it is. Finally.

:y

"Dude." Yang says, causing Ruby to turn around and look at her. She has a crazed look in her glowing red eyes that frightens Ruby a little.

BUST DOWN THAT DOOR!

"Dude, we're busting it open." Yang says rather dramatically.

Everyone nearly face palms as Yang begins to approach the door.

"You wanna go, you piece of shit door?" She says while flipping the bird with both her hands.

Ruby waves her arms about frantically while standing between Yang and the door. "Yang, please don't fight the door!"

"Yang, no." Blake says from behind the blonde brawler.

King shakes his head before holding a hand against it, some spikes protrude from his arm in frustration.

"Ｇｕｙｓ, ｔｈｅｒｅ'ｓ ｎｏ ｎｅｅｄ. Ｔｈｅ ｄｏｏｒ ｉｓ ｏｐｅｎ." He says as he pulls on the knob, swinging it open.

"Welp." Yang says while scratching her chin with one finger.

"I told you." Ruby says exasperatedly, raising both of her arms in the air.

Quickly collect your weapons and regroup.

Everyone enters the armory and goes to find their respective lockers.

Retrieve Crescent Rose.

Smooch Crescent Rose.

Ruby rushes over to hers in a flash, quickly entering her access code. It beeps an affirmative and unlocks. Ruby looks inside to see Crescent Rose in its compact form. Reaching in and pulling it out she gives her "sweet heart" a smooch. She really missed her weapon, she felt utterly vulnerable without it.

Weapons get. King looks at the kids and their various weapons with a slight anxiousness.

After everyone retrieves their weapons the regroup in the center of the room. Ruby had released Crescent Rose into its scythe mode to ensure it was in working order, while the others did similar things with their weapons. Ruby noticed how King looked nervously at them and all of their dangerous weapons.

Check the other lockers.

Get Pyrrha's weapon and give it to King.

Retrieve Weiss' weapon as well.

Maybe someone is hiding in one!

Ruby actually considers these thoughts and starts to head to Weiss' locker. Then she remembers an important detail about the lockers. She slaps both hands to her head as the realization struck. "I am a moron."

The lockers are locked with combination codes. They cannot be opened by any other means. No one in the party can pry or otherwise force the lockers open. Besides, a weapon can't be used by anyone else than its owner anyway.

Head to the cafeteria.

Hopefully there's something edible.

Maybe find someone else that can help us.

Ruby feels her stomach rumble, reminding her that they haven't eaten in a while. Well, except for the chocolate. Everyone stows away their weapons and looks to Ruby, ready to head out. Giving them a nod Ruby turns toward the exit and heads out into the hall.

"Cafeteria trip!"

There's another hallway door along the way. This one is unlocked.

It's dark in there.

"Ren?" A familiar voice calls out from the other side of the doors.

Ren breaks out of the daze he was in ever since the incident with Pyrrha. He stumbles toward the doors, frantic and tears forming in his eyes.

"Nora!"

A/N: Oh snap! Nora's alive?! How will Ren fare in this new situation? Find out in the next chapter or read the comic. Thanks for reading!
