The four head down the newly discovered path to find Elora standing in front of a closed door.
"You've collected the six talisman in this home world, now you can face Ripto and one of his minions, Crush!" She says upon seeing them.
"I thought you said we needed 14 talismans to fight the midget." Yang says bluntly.
"Well, yes but, Ripto is blocking the portals to the next home world, Autumn Plains. You will have to fight him if you wish to continue further." Elora tells them.
"Alright, team! Let's go take down this bad guy!" Ruby exclaims.
"Are they just though this door?" Weiss asks.
"Through the door and down the hole you will find them waiting." Elora replies. She then opens the door to reveal a small empty room with a hole in the middle. "If it helps, I can capture some sheep and throw them down there to help." Everyone stares at her as if she's crazy.
"Uh... that won't be necessary." Weiss says. The team then jumps down the hole and begins falling.
"Uh, wait. What's going to stop our fall?" Blake asks. Her other team members realize this and brace for impact. However, when they hit the ground their auras absorb no damage.
"It's almost as if its magic." Ruby says.
"What's magic? The hole or the floor?" Yang asks. The team's attention is then diverted to the big blue monster, Crush. Behind him, they spot Ripto on an overlook.
"Alright team RWBY, let's take em down!" Ruby exclaims. Yang fires a shot off at Crush only for a force field to form around him and deflect the shot.
"He's got an aura!?" Yang exclaims.
"No, I think its something different." Weiss calls out to her. Crush then roars at the team causing them to get into defensive positions. Crush then jumps, causing an electrical wave to be sent out towards team RWBY. They get hit and it sweeps them off their feet. They attempt to get up only to be hit with a second blast. Ruby then sees Crush's force field go down. He then moves to another small blue platform and the shield comes up.
"I have an idea!" Ruby calls out.
"What's your plan?" Blake calls out to her before she jumps over a shock wave.
"Just wait and see." Ruby says before, again, jumping over a shockwave. Crush then lowers his force field and begins moving towards another platform. While he's walking their, Ruby turns Crescent Rose into rifle form and fires on Crush. It hits which in turn angers Crush. He then starts smashing around his club until a small pile of boulders crash onto him.
"Well, that worked out better than I thought it would." Ruby says to herself.
"I get it, we fire after he's done attacking. Unless he changes his strategy." Weiss says aloud. The team then repeat Ruby's plan and it works. Then, The small platforms change colour to red. Crush takes position and fires. Yang expects there to be another wave, but she is hit by a fire ball mid jump causing her to go flying across the room. Blake attempts to see if hitting him out of his force field will still work and it does. The team continue this continues string, even when the platforms get multi coloured, until when Weiss hits him he starts charging at her. Not expecting this, she instinctively runs. He chases her for about ten seconds until he tries to crush her with his club, though ultimately failing causing more boulders to fall upon him.
This goes on awhile until, on another chase he misses Ruby and the boulders coming down on him completely bury him.
"NO! Crush!" Ripto yells. "You may have been able to defeat that simpleton, but Gulp will be more than a match for the four of you."
"Bring em on Shorty!" Yang yells. "I could have come up with something better, but he's really not worth it." She then whispers to her team.
"Yang!" Weiss whisper/yells at her. "I don't know if you noticed, but that battle really took a tole on our auras. I'm not sure we can face another monster in this state." Gulp then holds up the door behind Ripto.
"Yes, destroy them, and make sure it's painful." Ripto says to Gulp. However, it looks like the ceiling is going to collapse in on itself. "Gulp get me out of here!" He exclaims but before he leaves he turns towards team RWBY. "So long." He says before hopping on Gulps back and making his getaway.
When Ripto leaves the ceiling stops coming down and the guidebook begins glowing. Meanwhile outside, the flags Ripto put up have been changed to their original design.
Elora comes up to the group.
"Good job on defeating Crush! This portal here will take you to Autumn Plains. There will also be a similar one in Autumn Plains that will take you back her." She says.
"Thanks Elora." Ruby says. "But if you don't mind, we're just gonna rest here for a bit."
