(Haven Academy, 'More the Merrier')
Skyler walked towards the office of Lionheart to arrest the man, he needed a way to draw Cinder and the others out, he brushed off his arm, and then he heard something as he rounded a corner.
"Raven…" Yang growled as Skyler turned and looked out into the main hallway.
Yang, who was probably just walking around the school and looking for something to do had found the leader of the Branwen tribe.
"I was beginning to wonder if you would ever figure out, I was here… And I shouldn't have been surprised that your fiancée couldn't find out I was here unless I showed up myself," Raven said, Skyler blinked and slowly put his hand on Centurion Lazuli which he started to draw.
"I wouldn't have guessed that you'd attack a school, Branwen. You get bored with all that terrorism you did up till now?" Skyler asked while he faced Raven who held up her sword.
"I'm here for the relic… Hand it over and I'll spare the school what it has come." Raven said as Skyler drew his weapon and faced her.
"You think I'm going to give you something I don't even entirely know what it is? I'm not crazy, Raven." Skyler said as Raven turned to see Yang crack her knuckles and then flex her left arm while Ember Celica extended.
"He's not going to ask again… Stand down, mom," Yang growled out before Raven kicked Skyler who slide back despite blocking her kick with his human arm. He flexed his free arm and looked at her.
"You seriously want to fight both of us?" Skyler asked, Raven, said nothing and swung her sword at Skyler who blocked it before Raven turned to slice a bullet from Ember Celica in half.
"You both I won't need backup to deal with…" Raven said while Skyler sliced at her head before Raven leaned back and parried one of the swings before Skyler rolled under a lunge from her and then flipped over the railing to land next to Yang who nodded before she looked at her mother.
"I seriously can't believe someone as arrogant as you are my mother." Yang hissed before Raven leaped down and looked at the duo, Skyler turned to Yang.
"Where's your sister and the others?" Skyler whispered, Yang, nodded towards outside, and then fired another round.
Raven blocked the round from Yang's right arm before a punch from Skyler's cybernetic arm caused her to slide back when she blocked it. Skyler cracked his knuckles and then leveled the blade at her.
"Back down, and we're going easy," Skyler ordered, Raven rolled her eyes and faced the couple.
"You have gotten weaker after Vale… I'd feel sad if I wasn't so surprised." Raven spat out, Yang growled and then her left arm trembled.
Raven grinned and lunged at Yang before Skyler blocked the hit with his sword which slammed him into Yang and knocked them both to the ground.
Skyler went climbing up while Raven prepared to stab Skyler with a smirk before she heard a caw and then a clang.
Qrow stood with Harbinger before he forced Raven back with a kick to her face before he went after her.
"Yang, relax, she isn't going to get to you, ok? I'm here." Skyler said, patting Yang on the back as she blinked slightly before she focused on Skyler.
"You good?" Skyler asked, Yang, nodded, and Skyler nodded and then grabbed Centurion Lazuli before he rushed back into combat.
Sparks flew from Qrow and Raven's swords while both of them dueled, Skyler flicked a switch that turned his blade into its shotgun form while he rushed Raven and fired at her.
Raven felt 2 of the bullets slip through her deflecting while she went to slash at Qrow before Skyler blocked the blade, causing sparks to fly off it.
"I thought you were family…" Qrow hissed before Raven kicked at his head before Skyler punched her back before she slammed into him and threw him to the ground.
Yang flipped off Skyler's back and clotheslined Raven before she growled and faced the trio.
"You came here to steal the relic, killing Huntsmen and innocent people isn't enough for you?" Skyler asked, Raven was silent and then she turned and slashed the air.
"Vernal, help me… They can come in once they're dead." Raven said while she faced them, Vernal and a group of Bandits. Skyler watched a group of Atlesian soldiers rush in.
"You're not getting the relic, Branwen… Walk away and I won't have to bring my uncle into this." Skyler said before Raven flipped onto the railing.
"Your uncle would be here if it was important enough for him… But he sent you… Vernal, take them down…" Raven ordered as more bandits and a squad of AK- 130s stepped through the portal.
"AK-130s? They teamed up with the White Fang?" Skyler asked and Raven dusted off her armor.
"My sister stopped caring about fighting fair a long time ago, kid. You and Yang handle her buddies, I'll handle Raven. Oz and the others will be here soon." Qrow said, Skyler, nodded and looked at Yang.
"You bring her down, we're handling the Branwen tribe, and those scrap heaps we replaced with AK-200s," Skyler stated, he pointed his blade at Raven and turned to his men.
"Take down the bandits and AK-200s, me and Specialist Xiao Long will take care of Vernal," Skyler ordered, he rushed at the thugs and ended up kicking off one of the thug's shoulders, knocking him to the ground.
Yang shoulder checked another bandit before she rushed Vernal, Skyler turned and saw that Winter and more Atlesian reinforcements were coming along with Ruby and the others.
"You ever get sick of losing, lady?" Skyler asked before he watched the bullets and rifle shots went flying through the air.
Skyler heard nothing from Vernal and looked to see Raven go to open another portal before Qrow stopped her. Skyler chuckled and continued to battle Vernal.
