This is when thing's get interesting.
Jaune yanked his blade free of Knight, grunting from the strain. He looked over at Pyrrha, and saw her running up the stairs of the CCT building, Ozpin standing at the top of the stairs. He cocked his head to the side, and ran after Pyrrha.
Ruby stood on the top of the ship, gaping as a huge Grimm dragon soared past the ship. Griffons and Nevermore's were clawing their ways out of the dragon's scales, screaming and screeching as they took to the skies. Black, ink like goo was falling from the dragon's scales as it flew.
Ruby jumped out of the way as one of the Griffons landed, roaring at her. She scowled at it, taking a stance. The Griffon leaped at her, its beak wide open. Ruby swung the sword with a yell, feeling the blade slice through Griffons head. It collapsed with a thud, and Ruby sighed in relief.

Ruby turned around, cocking an eyebrow in confusion. A woman in an Atlesian uniform stood behind her, smiling playfully as she took a picture of her. The woman waved at her, a blood stained knife in her hand.
His scroll chimed and he pulled it out, sighing in annoyance at the contents of the text.
"Of course she would show up," Roman said. He grabbed his cane and left the room, heading for the hatch.
Blake's hand rested against her cheek, feeling herself begin to back up. Adam smiled at her.
"Are you going to run away again, Darling?" He stepped towards her, his smile growing. "Have you become a coward in the time we've been separated?" Blake scowled.
"Why are you here? Why are you doing this?" He gestured to the burning building around him.
"I always envisioned us doing this together, Blake, leading Remnant into a new order, side by side." He chuckled "You can consider this, the spark of our revolution. The humans will know the fear we live with daily." His smile grew. "And I will kill the Schnee this school has been harboring."
Blake's fear dissipated, a fire replacing it. Blake drew her sword, jumping through the window and leaping from the table she landed on, screaming as she swung at him. His blade sprung out, catching her blade, sparks leaping between them. Blake growled, pushing forward, his smile disappearing.
"I won't let you hurt her!" Adam pulled back, swinging his blade. Blake ducked down, spinning as she swung. A jolt ran up her arm as their blades collided. "I will never run away again!" Adam smiled.
"Good." Blake grunted as he kicked her in the gut, the wind getting knocked out of her as she slammed against the ground. She snarled up at him as he spoke. "You're coming back with me, Darling. But not before I punish you for leaving me."
Velvet grunted as gunfire rained over her head. Coco and Neptune were crouched down on either side of her, bullets slamming against their cover. Neptune popped up for a second, firing at the Paladins before ducking back down.
"This is bad!" Neptune yelled. Velvet peeked out of cover. Weiss dashed between the legs of a Paladin, swinging her sword, ice shooting up the mech's legs. Ren leapt onto the mech, stabbing the blade of one of his guns into the mech's hide before shooting at its face at point blank. The other Paladin turned towards its comrade, its chain guns spinning. Yatsuhashi and Nora sprang forth, Yatsu cleaving one of the mech's guns off with a roar as Nora crushed the other one with her hammer. The guns fell to the ground with a thud. The mech spun its arms, its fists colliding with Nora and Yatsu and sending them flying. Yatsu landed on his feet, grunting as he got to his feet. Nora cried out in pain as she slammed against a pile of rubble, her aura crackling pink around her.
"Nora!" Ren shouted. The Paladin grabbed a hold of him, ripping him off of it and tossing him to the side. He groaned in pain as he slid against the concrete.
"Velvet!" She looked over at Coco as Coco popped out of cover, resting her Gatling gun on the cover as she fired. "Take em down!" she ordered. Velvet nodded, vaulting forward.
Velvet ran toward the mech as its chain guns spun, aimed at Ren. She held out her hand, a hard light copy of Ruby's scythe materializing in her hand. She leapt into the air, swinging the scythe with a grunt, slicing off the gun. She landed, Myrtenestar materializing, and spun around catching the mech's punch with the blade. She leapt onto the mech's arm, running up it and jumping towards its face, stabbing into it. Sparks danced around the stab wound as Velvet back flipped off, Ember Celica materializing. She fired several shots, blowing holes in the Paladin's armor.
The Paladin raised its arms, twirling them, kicking up dust and gravel. Velvet ducked under its swinging fists, Gambol Shroud materializing. She stabbed up with the sheath, grunting as she was tossed off her feet and spun in the air. She glanced over at the mech's legs and tossed the sword into its leg, the ghostly ribbon in her hand. The mech spun and spun, the ribbon growing taunt around its legs. Velvet smirked and leapt off the arm, yanking on the ribbon as she hit the ground. The mech toppled over, whirring as it thrashed its arms. Velvet's ear twitched at the sound of the other mech and spun around, slashing with Gambol Shroud, slicing off the mech's hand.
Coco's Gatling gun materialized in her hand and she opened fire, her bullets ripping holes in the mech. The mech raised its fist, and Velvet jumped toward it, Magnhild materializing. She swung the hammer, grunting as the mech's arm broke at the elbow. Velvet swung again, the arm snapping off and going flying.
The Paladin backed up, sparks raining down from its severed arm. Penny's swords materialized around her, floating around her head. She held her hand out and swung up, the swords mimicking her movements, slicing through the mech's legs. The mech collapsed onto the ground, oil spurting from its severed leg. Velvet pulled her arms back, the blades circling in front of her, spinning, plasma charging. She shoved forward with a yell and a beam of plasma shot forth. The plasma sheared through the mech, leaving it as a melting husk.
Sweat ran down her brow as the blades dissipated. Her eyes shot wide as she heard the other mech rush her and she yelped in pain as its fist collided with her, sending her flying, her camera being tossed into the air.
Coco and Neptune rushed past her, Coco shouting Velvet's name. They fired as they ran, their bullets indenting on the Paladin's metal hide. The mech ignored them, raising a fist as Velvet lay crumpled on the ground, her camera out of reach.
Weiss dashed forward, sprinting as fast as she could, laying glyphs down as she ran to speed herself up even more. She had already lost Penny, she wouldn't lose anyone else. There was a spark, and Weiss felt electricity course through her body as she ran.
She slid to a halt in front of Velvet, her sword held out in front of as the Paladin's fist came crashing down. She grit her teeth, holding her ground. She gasped in surprise as a huge white sword materialized above her head, the Paladin's fist slamming into it. The sword swung, retching the arm up before stabbing into the Paladin's torso. The sword jerked to the side, ripping the mech open. Oil gushed out, electricity sparking as the mech collapsed, the red lights dying.
Weiss looked behind her, her eyes widening. A large white glyph was above her, a large armored arm protruding from the glyph and holding onto the sword. The glyph faded and Weiss fell to her knees, suddenly feeling exhausted, her limbs a heavy weight.
Velvet picked up her camera, and looked at Weiss in disbelief. Velvet crouched down next to her, brushing a stray bang off her face.
"You? Saved me?" Velvet asked. Weiss nodded, offering a smile.
"Of course, dost." Velvet's eyes went wide, her mouth parting. Dost; Ishvi for friend. Velvet smiled, helping her to her feet.
The ground rumbled and Weiss looked over to see another Paladin arrive, its white armor coated in blood.
"Mother. Fucker." Sun said with a groan.
Roman threw open the hatch door, climbing out. Griffons were choking the airs around the ship, their cries echoing around him. Red was dodging Neo's swings, her stained knife glinting. Neo was smirking as she slashed and swung at Red. Red had a sword in hand, using it to parry Neo's stabs away. Neo saw him, and smirked as she jumped to the side.
He strode forward, frowning as he raised his cane and fired. Red's eyes shot open as the grenade landed near her, and she leapt out of the way as it exploded. He strode through the smoke; Red was struggling to her feet, grasping the sword and pointing it at him. He frowned at her.
"Why are you here, Little Red? Are you that dead set on playing the hero?" Red swallowed.
"Why are you doing this? Without this ship the Grimm are gonna kill everyone!" She said. He raised his cane and fired. Red leapt out of the way, gasping as she landed at the edge, swinging her arms as she tried to keep her balance.
"I know that, Red," he said. Red pointed her sword at him.
"Then why! What could you get out of this?" Roman chuckled darkly as Neo surged past him. Red gasped, ducking under Neo's swing and running away from her. Neo spun, grinning like a devil.
"It's because I can't afford to lose."
Neo swung her knife, and Red's sword shot up to catch the blow. Neo yanked her arm back and danced around Red's blade as she swung at her. Neo lunged forward and Roman looked away as he heard Red cry out in pain. He looked back when he heard the clang of metal. Neo and Red's blades were interlocked, fear and pain etched on Red's face, amusement on Neo's. Red's sleeve had been slashed open. Neo's foot shot out and kicked Red in the shin. Red buckled, yelping as she fell.
Neo pounced, tackling Ruby to the floor, knocking her sword to the side. Neo raised her knife and stabbed down. Red's hand shot and she screamed as she grabbed a hold of the knife, retching it out of Neo's grasp and tossing it aside. Neo snarled and head-butted her, Red grunting in pain as her head slammed against the metal.
Roman walked over to Red as Neo pounded on her, hearing her yelp and cry as she was beaten. He stopped next to them and closed his eyes, crossing his arms, listening as she was beaten to death.
"This is the real world, Red. The real world is cold. In the real world, people don't care about how much spirit you have. It doesn't care about fairness, it only cares about power. And like it or not, the people who hired me have the power to change this world. I can't stop them and neither can you. So play the part and die like every other hero."
Roman's eyes shot wide in horror as a Griffon soared past, knocking Neo off of her and pinning her to the floor. Neo's was screaming soundlessly, beating at the Griffons talons as its beak opened, saliva drooling onto her face.
"Neo!" He screamed. He rushed forward, slamming his cane into the side of the Griffon, his arms jolting as he struck the bone armor. He saw a red and black blur and the Griffon roared in pain. Black blood gushed from the Griffon's neck, splattering onto Neo, as the Griffon's head was cut off. The Griffon slumped to the side, and Neo scrambled away.
Red stood in front of him, breathing hard, her sword coated in Grimm blood. She snarled at him.
"You're wrong." She pointed the sword at him. "I will stop them. I can't afford to lose either." Roman laughed, his cane slipping from his grasp and clattering to the floor. Red didn't lower her sword. "You said you can't afford to lose, and that you can't stop them. But if you stop this, if you let this ship stop the Grimm, we can beat them." He saw Neo cock her head to the side in confusion as she looked from him to her.
"I've always liked your spirit, Red. It reminds me of someone I used to know." He smiled. "But I'm in too deep, Red. It's too late for a villain like me." Red lowered her sword, and stepped towards him, shaking her head.
"You're wrong." Red stopped in front of him, holding out her hand. "It's never too late."
Roman looked at her hand, and then at her eyes. Confidence, courage, hope swam in her silver eyes. The same look in Eon's eyes when they fought together. Roman grasped her hand and Red smiled.
Roman squeezed and spun his body, hearing Red scream as he threw her off the side of the ship. He sighed as he picked up his cane, and went to Neo's side. Neo smiled at him as he crouched down and started to wipe the blood off her face. He smiled lovingly at her once her face was clean and helped her too her feet.
"Get one of the escape pods ready." He said. Neo cocked her head to the side, confused.
"Why?" she signed. He looked over the side of the ship he had thrown Red off of, and then over at Vale City and Beacon. Plumes of black smoke were billowing from Beacon, swarms of Grimm surging through the city. He sighed as he went to the hatch.
"I'm going to make your mother proud."
The wind whipped around her as she fell. Ruby's eyes watered as the winds ripped past her. She struggled to get her scroll out, keeping it close to her, her grip a vice as she plummeted to the ground. She punched in the keys, praying it reached her in time. She tucked her scroll into her collar and threw out her arms, trying to slow down.
She grunted as the locker hit her, her aura absorbing the hit. She clung to it, her cape twirling around her as the locker flew towards the ground. She grit her teeth as it crashed into the top of a building, throwing her off it and skidding against the concrete roof.
She struggled to her feet, wincing in pain, her entire body sore. She went to the locker, prying open the door. She smiled at the familiar sight of Crescent Rose.
Yang couldn't move, she couldn't scream, she could only stare. She saw confusion on Drey's face, and then fear as the Nevermore screeched. One of the talons burst through her chest, her aura breaking, her blood spraying into the air. Blood ran from her lips, she was coughing, her eyes wide in shock as she looked down at the talon in her chest. Drey's eyes darted over to her, tears welling.
"Ya-" The Nevermore took off, screeching in victory.
Yang's legs gave way beneath her, falling to her knees. This couldn't be happening. This wasn't real. This had to be a nightmare. She looked up; everything was burning, dark figures moving through the black smoke. She swallowed, her throat dry. She got to her feet, swaying, unsteady as she looked around. The smoke was enveloping, everything indistinguishable. She started to run; she had to get out, there must be a way out. The screaming had stopped, the only sound the crackling of the fires.
She ran past a stall, and yelped as she tripped and fell. She looked back, her breath hitching in her throat. A girl with purple hair and long purple dog ears lay on the ground, an assault rifle off to the side. Her face was smeared in Grimm blood. Her body had been ripped in half, her legs missing and her organs spilled out all over the grass.
"V-Vio-" The word's stopped in her throat as the smell hit her. She covered her mouth, gagging. She felt the vomit on her hand and she bent over, retching onto the grass.
Her blood went cold when she heard a roar. She spun around, letting out a scream as she was knocked to the ground. The Ursa roared in her face, spit splattering across her face. Yang screamed, throwing a punch and pulling Ember Celica's trigger.

Glynda flicked her wrist, purple light arcing from her riding crop, shooting through the air and piercing through the pack of Creeps in front of her. They slumped to the ground with a groan, smoke billowing from their corpses. She could hear Qrow grunting as he slashed at the Knights with his scythe. She spun around at the sound of a Beowolf growling, and smirked as a snow white wolf sprang forth, tearing into a group of mech's.
Ironwood and Winter strode forward, their clothes tattered and torn, half of Ironwood's shirt missing, his mechanical prosthetics visible. Ironwood drew his revolver, and Winter her pistol as the Knights turned to them and charged. The duo opened fire, Ironwood's shots blowing gaping holes into the mech's.
The mech's fell to their gunfire, their bodies crumpling to the ground in broken heaps. The cylinder to Ironwood's revolver swung out, and he dumped the empty shells out before reloading, snapping the cylinder back into place. They came to a halt in front of them, and Qrow leaned against his scythe as Ironwood spoke.
"Is this area secure?" he asked. Glynda nodded, walking up to Qrow's side. Qrow motioned with his hand as he spoke.
"So what are we supposed to do now, General?" Ironwood holstered his revolver, resting his chin in his hand.
"Glynda, I need you to set up a safe zone here. Have all the local Hunters converge here." Glynda nodded. "Qrow, Winter. I need you two to lead the evacuation. My men will help. That Beast seems to heading for Beacon, we can't afford to leave those people behind."
"And you, sir?" Winter asked. Ironwood rested his hands behind his back.
"I need to get to my ship and put an end to whoever hijacked my machines." Ironwood said.
A fireball erupted in the sky, a thunderous boom hitting her a second later; she could feel the blast in her chest. Ironwood's jaw dropped as his flagship fell from the sky, flames and explosions erupting from it. Qrow snickered.
"Don't think you'll have to worry about that, Jimmy."
Weiss grit her teeth, struggling to stand as the Paladin charged forward, its chain guns spinning. The red lights faded, and the Paladin collapsed to the ground, skidding through the concrete as it slid to a halt.
A cheer went through the group as Weiss fell to her knees, gasping for air. Sweet Dust that took so much Aura. She felt a comforting hand on her shoulder and looked up. Coco smiled down at her, Velvet and Fox standing behind her. Coco gave her shoulder a squeeze.
"Thanks Weiss. I don't know what I would do if I lost Velvet." Weiss smiled back. She stumbled a little as she stood, leaning on her sword for support. She scanned through the crowd of students, knitting her brow. She turned to Coco.
"Where's Blake?" she asked. Coco frowned and looked around. Weiss started to leave, her body sluggish. "I'm going after her." She felt Coco grab her by her collar and drag her back, shaking her head. Coco flashed a smile.
"Time for me to repay the favor. I'll find your girl. Where'd you see her last?" Weiss hesitated before answering.
"She was heading to the cafeteria. She was after an Alpha." Coco nodded, releasing her shoulder. Coco turned, cupping her hand over her mouth.
"Fox!" His head jerked over to her, his blind eyes staring at her. "Follow me!" Fox nodded, rushing over to her side. Coco gave Weiss one final smile before she turned and ran off, shouting over her shoulder. "I'll be back, Weiss!"
Weiss waved at Coco before slumping to the ground, exhausted.
The elevator door slid open, and Ozpin and Pyrrha dashed out in front of him. He ran after them, struggling to keep up. They were in a black hallway, torches with green fire lighting up their path as they ran.
"What is this place? Why were you taking Pyrrha here?" he asked. Ozpin said nothing as he ran, and Pyrrha looked back at him, an apologetic look in her eyes.
"This… is the school's Vault." He cocked his head to the side.
"A Vault? What would this school need a vault for? What are we-" He started to slow down, his eyes widening at the large machine in front of them. He could see a woman in some type of pod thing, and heard a beeping, like in a hospital. He looked over at Pyrrha as she ran to the other pod. "Pyrrha, what is this? Who is that?" Pyrrha stopped in front of the pod, and looked back at him. She opened her mouth to answer, before shutting it, looking away.
"Mr. Arc, if you're going to be here, stand guard." Ozpin said. Jaune looked at Pyrrha before nodding. He spun around, raising his shield, his sword at the ready for whatever may come.
Pyrrha set her hand against the glass, looking into the pod. She sighed, and looked over at Ozpin.
"What do we do now?" He shook his head as he typed away at the console.
"We do nothing. You, however, have a choice to make." Pyrrha stepped back as the pod opened with a hiss. She glanced from it to Jaune. She shook her head; this was her destiny. She entered the pod.
Blake sprang to her feet, swinging at Him with a yell. He parried her swing, growling.
"This could have been our day! This is what I have been dreaming of! Come back to me!" Blake spat in his face, pulling her blade back and stabbing at his stomach. He dodged her stab, and swung at her head. She raised her sword, sparks raining on her face as she struggled against his blade.
"I never wanted this!" She pushed his sword to the side, kicking him in the chest. He grunted in pain as she swung, slashing into his jacket. "I dreamed of equality!"She slashed at his chest, ripping open his shirt, his aura crackling, blood spurting. "I dreamed of a world without you!" She screamed, tears welling in her eyes as she swung at his head.
Adam snarled, blocking her blade with his own before kicking her in the chest, knocking her to the ground. She grunted and Gambol Shroud took its gun form, firing several shots at him. His blade glowed as it took the shots. His foot shot forward, slamming into her chin. She grunted as she slammed against the floor.
"What you want is impossible! There's no such thing as equality!" She took aim at him, firing another shot. His blade glowed angrily as it absorbed the bullets. Blake snarled, Gambol Shroud's blade springing into place as she stood up. "There are those on the top! And there's everyone else! We can't have peace as long as the humans exist!" Adam yelled as he charged her. She ducked below his swing, jabbing at his back. He spun around, knocking her blade to the side. Blake gnashed her teeth as they swung at each other, sparks raining down as they parried each other's blows, the fires consuming everything around them. "I want you more than anything else, Blake! I want you by my side as we bring about the justice humanity deserves!" Blake lunged at him, swinging her blade downward, aiming at his head.
Blake saw a red blur, her eyes widening as it slammed into her stomach, the blade piercing through her. Gambol Shroud slipped from her grip, and clattered to the floor. Her skin felt clammy, blood dripping down. He lifted her chin up, their faces so close.
"I want you to know, Blake, I love you. And I will not rest until you are back by my side."
He typed away at the control panel, his finger hovering over the final key. He looked over at Pyrrha's pod.
"Are you ready?" Ozpin asked. Pyrrha nodded at him. His finger twitched and he shook his head. "I… I need to hear you say it."
"Do it," Pyrrha said. Ozpin pressed the key, closing his eyes as the process began.
"Thank you, Miss Nikos." Pyrrha began to scream in agony, the beeping from Amber's pod increasing. He opened his eyes, and squeezed his cane as Amber's soul was ripped from her body and traveled down the tubes, bright orange in color.
"Pyrrha!" Jaune yelled, running over to the pod, banging on the glass as Pyrrha writhed. Ozpin's eyes widened as he heard glass shatter and the beeping from Amber's pod cease. He spun around, sucking in a breath; a long black arrow was sticking from Amber's pod, the arrow piercing her heart.
Ozpin turned, scowling. Cinder stood across from them, her body illuminated by the green torches, her long black bow in hand. Cinder smiled knowingly at him.
Yang's eyes went wide as her fist hit the Ursa's face. She was out of shells. The Ursa growled, pinning her left arm to the ground. Yang strained against it, throwing a punch at the Ursa with a yell.
The Ursa's jaws clamped down on her arm, saliva running down, and its teeth sinking into Ember Celica. The Ursa jerked its head back and Yang screamed in pain as her arm was painfully pulled up. The Ursa kept its massive paw on her other arm, keeping her pinned to the ground. The Ursa yanked its head to the side, excruciating pain shooting through Yang as she screamed in agony, hearing a sickening crunch as her arm was twisted. Her aura broke, shimmering around her. The Ursa yanked its head in the other direction, Yang's screaming growing louder, thrashing on the ground as she tried to free her other arm. Her arm broke, her humorous jutting out of the skin, blood running down her arm. The Ursa jerked its head back, and Yang closed her eyes, screaming her throat raw. She felt her skin and muscles tearing as her arm was ripped off.
Yang continued to scream, blood gushing from her stump. She felt the Ursa's grip on her other arm lessen and she retched it free, scrambling away from the Ursa at it bit into her arm, ripping into her flesh, blood soaking its muzzle with each bite. Her body was growing cold, black spots appearing in her vision as she scrambled over to Violet's rifle. She grabbed it, fumbling with it as she turned. The Ursa looked up at her, blood and drool dripping from its muzzle as it glared at her. It tossed her arm to the side and charged at her with a roar. She screamed, pulling the trigger, the recoil kicking her like a mule. The bullets slammed into the Ursa's face, ripping through its bone armor. The Ursa convulsed as she fired, its face being reduced to a pulp.
The Ursa fell to the ground, smoke rising off its body. Yang gasped for air, her world growing dark. She collapsed, the rifle falling from her hand.
Pyrrha screamed as she felt Amber's presence get ripped from her. She saw an orange light burtst from Amber's pod and go towards the Red Woman. She smiled as she absorbed the orange light, laughing as she began to ascend into the air, the torches on the walls snuffing out, her body being consumed by fire. Jaune charged forward with a yell, and Pyrrha began to beat against the glass of the pod, the glass shattering under her punches.
Jaune yelled as a fireball was launched at him. He threw up his shield, grunting as it slammed into him, throwing him back and slamming into the machine. She could hear him groaning in pain as she pounded on the glass.
She grit her teeth, and the front of her pod was enveloped in a black glow. She pushed forward with a yell, the pods front being ripped off and launching at the woman. The metal melted, splattering onto the floor when it hit the woman. Pyrrha dashed out, her spear and shield sliding into place.
Ozpin's arm flew out in front of her, halting her in her tracks. She looked over at him in confusion.
"Grab Jaune and get out of here! Get Glynda and the others! We can't let this tower fall!" Pyrrha frowned.
"I can help!" Ozpin looked back at her, his half-moon glasses resting on his nose.
"You'll just be in the way." Pyrrha looked over at the woman as the fires around her began to die. She slowly began to float down to the floor, smirking at them, her orange eyes glowing.
Pyrrha sheathed her weapons, and ran over to Jaune, helping him to his feet and started to run, practically dragging Jaune behind her as they fled.
Blake screamed, pain shooting through her as he pushed his blade further in. Her screams were muffled as he shoved his mouth over hers. He shoved his tongue into her mouth, moaning into her mouth. Blake's eyes watered. Oh Gods he was in her, he was in her, oh Gods this was wrong. He pulled back, licking her blood off his lips.
"Your kisses are just as sweet as I remember." She felt the tears run down her cheeks, bile at the back of her throat, her body going cold.
"BLAKE!" Blake craned her neck, her breath hitching in her throat. Coco and Fox stood in the doorway of the building. She gasped as Adam pulled out of her, and she collapsed onto the ground, her hand going to her stomach. She raised her hand, her body trembling. She coughed, tasting copper.
"Please…no…"
Fox and Coco charged forward. Fox leaped, his arm blades catching the light of the fires. Adam smirked and swung his sword, Fox's arm flying off, his blood spraying into the air, a huge gash in his chest. Fox fell to the ground with a thud, his blood pooling around him, his body twitching. Coco swung at Adam with her purse, screaming. Adam sidestepped her swing, punching her in the face, her glasses shattering. Coco staggered back, letting out a strangled gasp when Adam grabbed her by the throat.
Blake locked eyes with Coco; the terror in Coco's eyes chilling her to the bone.
"Run!" Coco yelled. Blake glanced up at the broken windows and then back at Coco.
She ran.
Coco grabbed at his hand, kicking her legs as he lifted her up. He tightened his grip, and she gasped for air, struggling to breath. Her purse fell to the ground as she struggled against his grip.
He raised his sword, the red blade soaked in blood. He grinned as he stabbed forward. Coco's breath hitched, her body growing numb, blood soaking into her sweater. Her aura crackled around her. He yanked his sword back, specks of her blood flicking onto his face. Her vision started to go black, her head swimming, barely feeling the floor as he released her. She coughed, blood filling her mouth as she stared over at Fox's limp body. She saw Him leave before the world went dark.
Ozpin straightened his back, tightening his grip on his cane. Cinder's smirk fell, a scowl replacing it.
"Salem was right about you." He glowered at her. "Hiding her below everyone's feet." Cinder snorted. "You truly are as much of an arrogant fool as she said you were."
