Spectre: Hey, been a while since I updated. I've been having health problems regarding the heart. Yes it was serious and I needed to cool off before I could resume. But hey, that doesn't mean I could gip up now, can I? The next chapter is based on your preferences of my previous ideas from the last few chapters to go take a look at them.
Inspiration: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Plus a mini scene from a movie!)
Chapter 23: A Blade's Purpose.
"So, what's going to be the next?", Yang asked the Observers present.
"Still looking for it. Give it a moment", Flit replied before Nora's eye caught to a certain scene.
"Wait, let's check that one!", she suggested as the audience's eyes were focused on the screen.
The screen shows Nora Valkyrie wearing a sleeveless armored, vest with dark grey pants and boots. Next to her was Emerald Sustrai, wearing a dark green and black outfit that consisted of a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and boots.
"Emerald, I thought the world of you.", Nora told her with a sincere look. "I thought we were going to fight side-by-side forever, but at the end of the day, you're you and I'm me. I don't know, maybe there's still some good in you. But let's be honest: our paths diverged a long time ago."
"Awwwww!", cooed the members of RWBY, JPR and CVFY at seeing Nora say those words while Mercury snickered in sarcasm towards the green-haired girl who scoffed at him.
"Let's just say their history involved inter-world invasions, endangering their home and deceit along the way. Even if they aren't related by blood.", Flit explained to them.
"Despite their history mentioned by Mr. Flit, Ms. Valkyrie always believed in the good of her sister, even if she is adopted", Ozpin remarked in pride for the ginger-haired teen.
Emerald on the other hand, felt touched by the girl's words and wondered what is like to have siblings who looked out for her despite her previous misdeeds.
Emerald sighed. "Yeah. It's probably for the best that we never see each other again.", she said in a straight tone.
"Its what you always wanted.", Nora added as she patted Emerald on the shoulder. The two remained silent as they stood at the elevator, and that is when an idea came onto Nora's head.
"I suddenly have the feeling this is far from from a light-hearted moment", Jaune said in instinct.
"We need to get help", Nora suggested.
"What?", Emerald asked, confused.
"Get help"
Realizing what she was up to she quickly replied. "No."
"Come on, you love it."
"I hate it!"
"It's great! It works every time."
"It's humiliating!"
"You got a better plan?"
"No."
"We're doing it."
"We are not doing Get Help."
"What's wrong about getting help?", Ruby asked, confused.
"I think that was a metaphor, not actual 'help', Weiss pointed out.
Nora gives Emerald a devilish smirk. Flash-cut to the elevator opening to a seemingly unconscious Emerald with one arm slung over a distressed Nora's shoulder.
"GET HELP! Please! My sister's dying! Get help! Help her!", Nora cried out to the guards who came to assist them.
She then yeets Emerald at the guards, knocking all of them unconscious at once. "Ahh, classic!", Nora happily exclaimed as Emerald stands up looking 100% done with this shenaniganery.
"Still hate it! It's humiliating!", Emerald exasparately said to her sister. "Well, not for me, it's not!", Nora cheerily replied.
The audience laughed at this entire display as some where holding their insides or were wiping small tears of their eyes.
"Hey, Emerald. Wanna do that as our secret technique?", Mercury sarcastically asked, wiping his tears while Emerald slumped as everyone around her laughed. Even Cinder could not help but let out a chuckle if the sight.
"Just like old times, Tai", Qrow reminded Taiyang, remembering their shenanigans when they were students. Raven rolled her eyes while Summer snickered at the memory of the two.
Nora turned towards Ren with an evil grin and the boy paled at seeing her like this, knowing she had an idea in mind.
"Nora, no!"
"Nora, YES!"
"Mr. Flit, can we please go through the next universe?", Jaune hastily asked, not wanting anyone to start throwing people at random. Flit immediatley complied as he pushed a button to his remote and a new universe flashed before their eyes.
The scene opened to the interior of a limousine in Menagerie. Ghira Belladona, the Prime Minister, look over the area. "We've come a long way these past years. More than I could have hoped for." The Faunus next to him, wearing a secretary's uniform, Sienna Khan, nodded in agreement, "The mark of a strong leader, sir."
"Prime Minister? That's new.", Taiyang mused at the unfamiliar title
"It is very likely a title for high-ranking members of the government, and it is likely that Mr. Belladona is the head.", Ozpin said.
Blake looked at the screen in wonder, thinking that this is before her father left the White Fang as Sienna was still functioning as his right-hand.
Ghira shook his head, "No. The mark of a strong people. And a good advisor."
"Thank you, sir.", Sienna Khan replied in respect for him.
"I like this version of Sienna", Ghira remarked, not seeing her as a radical type unlike the one he had. Kali likewise agreed with him as did Blake.
"Though…" Ghira turned to the seats in front of him, "I suppose we owe that to your team as well. Mr. Lightning Bolt"
Sitting opposite him was Lie Ren, operative of Maverick Security Services. He simply chuckled and waved it off after taking off his shades, "Just doing our job, Mr. Prime Minister."
"Didn't know you were a fashion-oriented type, Renny!", Nora fangirled hysterically as the said boy sighed with a slight blush while Jaune and Phyrra patted Ren's back in support.
"I say, it looks good on you at least", Coco added. "The shades are a killer!"
Ghira looked out over the city to see an armored transport driving down the street in the distance, "You were able to train our new military far faster than we could have hoped. Now, we might actually have some level of peace." Ghira laughed to himself. "And to think, I had my doubts about you and your group. Though, perhaps there might be hope for these… what was it? Private military corporations?"
Ironwood and Winter scowled at this. The idea of a privately owned and operated military is very dangerous even for any government. And they could not imagine what is like if Jacques managed to get his hands on his own army.
Salem and Cinder on the other hand, were intruiged on having a private army of their own other than the Grimm.
Ren shook his head, "We prefer, Private Security Provider, Sir. Most of Beacon's contracts do focus on security."
"Yes, security can mean many things...", Ghira remarked as the limo turned out to be escorted by numerous heavily armed and armored personel.
"Talk about VIP protection...", Roman mused at seeing this while Ironwood held his chin in interest at seeing the designs of the armored transports.
Ozpin held his chin in thought. They function similarly as Huntsmen like those of Beacon or the other Kingdoms, though in an organized group that could be akin to mercenaries, but he wouldn't want to imagine them operating simply for profit.
"There's a saying I like...", Ren began, putting back his shades while the camera focused on the case under him. "One sword keeps another in the sheath. Sometimes the threat of violence alone is deterrent. Sometimes by taking a life, others can be preserved."
"Good words to live by.", Raven complimented in agreement with the teem on screen. The other adults present somehow agreed to that point.
"A soldier and a philosopher", Ghira praised. "You truly are full of surprises, Mr. Lightning Bolt."
"I could say the same about you, Mr. Prime Minister.", Ren replied and then after a moment of driving, the limo suddenly stopped.
"Here comes the action...", Yang said in anticipation.
"What is happening?", Sienna inquired.
"Something's blocking the lead vehicle. Hold on...", Coco Adele replied as the camera pans to the two lead vehicles in front then to the front turret gunner.
"Clear the road! This is official state business!", the gunner demanded as the person in front of him, wearing a silver and white armored bodysuit suddenly unsheathed his katana, with red electricity sparking from it.
Ruby squealed at the sight of the weapon, wanting to know its schematics and properties while Ironwood looked with interest as the components looked to be way stronger and unique than any Atlas close-combat weapon.
"This guy has got to be insane!", Mercury said sarcastically at the sight.
"You do know he has something on his sleeve if he was going to perform a stunt like that.", Emerald pointed out.
"I said. Move out the road! We're authorized to use force if you do not-", the gunner couldn't finish as the man suddenly dashed towards him.
The gunner opened fire as the man dodged the shots before leaping up the air, using his sword to slice down incoming projectiles before slicing down the gunner and his turret in half before slicing down the corpse further.
The audience winced at the sudden display of gore and some felt their insides had already been violated.
"Whatever that is... that is no ordinary blade.", Ruby squeaked out while trying to keep herself from vomitting.
"I know what I said about action going to happen, but I never thought it would escalate like this!", Yang said in disbelief of the sudden bloody sight. Ironwood, though disgusted, kept a keen eye, knowing the setting of this universe is ought to be advanced.
The two other armored transports behind it stopped as Beacon operatives exited their transports and formed a perimeter behind Ghira's limousine. "Leopard One! U-Turn! Turning back!", Coco ordered as Miltitia Malachite revved up the engines of the limo in reverse to exit the combat area.
More Beacon operatives exited their armored transports as they formed a formation behind the man, who had red hair with bull horns, who turned around and formed a wicked smile. "Open fire!", ordered one of the gunners.
"Adam...", Blake uttered recognizing her former lover while Ghira and Kali frowned at the Bull Faunus who led their daughter astray.
"Calling it, these chumps don't have a chance!", Mercury said in confidence for the Bull Faunus.
"If he could slice down those shots with such skill and accuracy, I could see him winning this one.", Cinder said in agreement.
"Who was that?!", Sienna asked, frightened.
"A cyborg.", Ren replied in a calm tone.
"One of our competitors?", Melanie Malachite added before Coco's scroll went on.
"Coco! What is happening?", Ironwood demanded an explanation from her scroll.
"We got hit, sir! A cyborg. ", she answered him while Adam easily sliced down Beacon operatives and Menagerie soldiers attempting to take him down, deflecting bullets along the way as well as showering blood and gore all over. "XIFF comes up with unaffiliated!"
"A Cyborg? Like you Jimmy?", Qrow asked the general of Atlas.
Ironwood looked at his prostethics before answering the Huntsman. "It would seem so. Though I could be wrong."
"I'll notify all checkpoints! Get Belladonna out of there!", Ironwood ordered the team.
"Yes sir!"
However, a Cyborg carrying a rocket launcher took position in a nearby building and fired at them, blowing up one of the armored transport's wheels with their soldiers exiting their vehicles but were easily killed by enemy cyborgs. A truck drove into the area where it used its barricades to block the path between them.
"I'm guessing we have a whole army to worry about", Qrow added while Ironwood scowled, not wanting to think that an army of enhanced soldiers would be possible.
"Technology is way ahead of what we have at this point.", Glynda said in agreement.
Miltitia once again reversed the limo towards another route but another truck with barricades blocked their alternate route, forcing her to drive them to a seperate location where it crashed through a barrier where three enemy cyborgs surrounded the limousine in front of them.
"Talk about escape routes..", Jaune sarcastically stated.
"The operation is well organized if they have the means to assault the Prime Minister with what they have.", Winter said, impressed with the coordination.
"They got friends on our twelve!", Coco called out before Ironwood spoke.
"Raiden."
"Raiden? A codename?", Weiss asked, bewildered as did the other students of Beacon, thinking that Ironwood may have mistook his name.
"Probably. And it sounds cool I think.", Roman stated.
"I'm on it. Guard the Prime Minister!", Ren ordered as he took off his shades and calmly opened the door of the limo as the driver burned rubber to escape the area. He took his suit jacket in hand and tossed it aside, revealing his own cybernetic body
Ironwood and Watts had wide eyes. They were a little envious of the sleeker, less steel-shell-like design.This version looked far more advanced they had ever seen. Watts bit his nail at seeing how this level of technology has overlapped his own intellect in science.
Ren also had a long case in hand. As he held it up, the bottom of the case opened up and revealed a sword being held in a magnetic field. As he took his sheathed sword, he slowly removed it from its casing as electricity flowed through the blade. Ren performed a few slashes, slicing the concrete behind him for the containers to block the path between them and the limo.
Nora's mouth was agape, "So cool! Just how awesome would be Renny here?!"
"I think I'm in love...", Ruby fangirled at the sight of his weapon.
He lowered his stance, ready for whatever came his way. "Let's get this over with...", he stated as his left eye was covered by an activated eyepiece, beeping as it flashed red.
Blake blinked three times before she realized what she was thinking. Ren's stance is identical to that of Adam Taurus.
A set of three cyborg soldiers approached from in front of him. Each was wearing body armor and tactical vests, wielding shorter blades for the fight at hand with strapped rifles behind them. One of them thought it was a good idea to rush attack their cybernetic foe.
Ren swung his blade back before swinging the electrified blade through the enemy, who continued to run for a moment as the moment had yet to register for him. After a moment, blood flew out from his back and he fell to the ground in two pieces. Ren swung his blade toward the ground beside him to toss off the blood that had splattered onto the blade. He started to return his blade to its sheath as the other two began to rush him. When his blade clicked back into its home, his adversaries fell passed him in two pieces each.
Everyone was a shocked for several reasons. One, they'd just seen Ren bisect cybernetic men with a sword in the bloodiest way possible. Two, he had done so at a speed too fast to just be called blinding. Finally, he made it look so easy. Not just his skill, but also his emotional state. He looked like a man simply doing a job, not a man that just killed three people.
Roman and Mercury whistled in fascination on how advanced he is in killing. The grey-haired teen expressed interest in having a few more prosthetics after seeing the speed and precision he wielded while Roman would see this a way of making his thieving career even easier than ever.
Ironwood on the other hand, felt downgraded to the fact that Ren's cybernetics gave him an edge in fighting than him.
Ren stood normally and ran off down the street. As he did, his ear piece rang out again, "Raiden! The Prime Minister's car is under attack!"
Ren looked around, a small device clicking over his eye giving him access to a mapping system.
Meanwhile, the Limo stopped as Miltitia and Melanie sliced down two enemy cyborgs with their swords. Turning around, they glanced at the sea where a massive war machine emerged from it where it landed in front of the two operatives, screeching out an animallistic sound as they did.
"What in Remnant is that?!", Glynda almost shouted in shock at the machine's sudden appearance. The audience were awed at the sigh of a behemoth of a machine that shamed the Atlas military.
"That Ms. Goodwitch, is called a Metal Gear.", Aeralyn began as she explained to them its nature. "A designation to various models of bipedal tanks and they were behemoth machines capable of decimating lesser machines."
"And also a weapon of Mass Destruction that could be used for the military or anything that would require violence", Flit added.
The Metal Gear Ray launched a plasma cannon that devastated the area where it caused the limo to overturn. As Miltitia and Melanie attempted to go after the Prime Minister, a huge man jumped towards them, slicing down Miltitia's arms and violently bisecting her.
Melanie then attempted to attack the man behind with her blade but the man parried her attack with his machete. She attempted another counterttack but her right fighting arm was severed before she was decapitated by two combined Machetes from the man.
"Is that Lionheart?", Glynda inquired, recognizing the man. Salem's eyes widened in suprise at seeing her informant at the screen.
"It is. Ms. Goodwitch", Ozpin confirmed. "And he appeared to be the leader of the enemy group it seems".
Unfortunately, Ren arrived a little too late. Ghira was being held over the shoulder of Leonardo Lionheart.
Lionheart smirked seeing him, "So you're Ren, huh?"
"What do you want with the Prime Minister?"
"I want him dead. Nothing personal, of course. Menagerie's just getting too peaceful."
"What?"
"Business ain't the same since they shut down SOP. 'A clean break from the war economy!' But some of us happen to like that economy! How's an honest warmonger supposed to make a living?"
"So, this is your answer?", Ren spat in disgust as Lionheart laughed before pulling out one of his massive machetes over to Ghira. "Don't do it!"
Lionheart shrugged, not too bothered by it, "Don't worry now, I won't." Lionheart turned to the unconcious Ghira. "Not while he's still useful."
Blake and Kali were sliently praying that Ren would be able to rescue the patriarch from Lionheart. The students of Beacon hoped that he would succeed likewise.
"So long!", Lionheart stated as he jumped over one of the buildings as Ren sprinted after him. The cyborg waved his machete and the RAY landed between Ren and Lionheart blocking his chase.
He drew his blade and widened his stance. He didn't have a choice but to go through the mech in his way. As the RAY roared, Ren started to run toward it.
BGM: Rules of Nature
"What in the world-?", Ren began.
"What the hell is he doing?!" Mercury almost laughed to himself, very confused by his actions.
Several automatic turrets started to take aim at the incoming cyborg. As they unleashed their flurry of bullets, Ren would swing his blade to cut or deflect every bullet that came near him. He slid under the mech and to one of its legs, slicing the outer armor like ribbons. Knocking the mech off balance, Ren leapt up and sliced the turrets apart on that side.
The RAY jumped away from Ren and its 'mouth' opened to show a system within. After a moment to charge, it fired a massive laser of plasma, ripping the street and buildings apart. As the laser faded, the Ray roared over a scene of burning city.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. This thing was terrifying in concept and scale and they remembered the mobile suits earlier. Sure they were more destructive than this one but Ren is going against a massive machine where he's an ant in size.
After a moment of silence, Ren emerged from the smoke undeterred by the attack. As he approached, the RAY reared back one of its wing-like arms to slam a building sized blade onto Ren's head.
Ozpin's eyes narrowed, but he kept a grin, "Even something that large can be dodged, especially with how slow it's moving."
Rwn continued his charge, but the RAY was faster than anticipated, bringing its massive blade down on top of him. Ren brought his blade over his head, holding back the giant mech despite the massive size and weight difference.
Some students started to laugh in that way you do when you see something so ridiculous it loops back around to being awesome. At least to them.
Weiss was having a hard time making any sense of what was happening.
The RAY attempted to push Ren down harder. The black-haired cyborg adjusted his stance and grabbed the opened hatch panel on the other side of the blade. As seemed to strain for a moment as his body sparked and started to glow slightly. After a moment, he somehow tossed the mech over his shoulder and into the air.
Ren leapt up after the mech, slicing at the wing before reaching the primary joint between wing and body. There, he jumped again with his sword raised above his head. As he fell, he sliced clean the entire wing with one move. He landed on the ground with no difficulties and swiped his blade aside again before returning it to its sheath. All the while, the RAY and the pieces of its wing rained down in giant chunks of metal.
End of BGM
Nora jumped to her feet with a raised fist, "That's was so awesome!"
Phyrra asked in disbelief, "But how?! How is that even possible?!"
Penny smiled, "It's not that strange isn't it?"
Ruby thought for a moment, "That reminds me, Penny! Didn't you hold back a ship on your own?"
"At the docks to save friend Blake, yes. Mechanized individuals are often known for being stronger than organic beings. If friend Ren is a military cyborg, it's possible for him to do what we just saw. Especially with his technologically advanced body."
Ren started to run off down the street to chase after Lionheart, only to be blindsided by a massive wing from behind. The RAY wasn't dead yet and it wanted to make Ren pay for its wing. Ray's 'mouth' opened to roar again as the camera flew off to show Ren flying spine first into the edge of a building.
Every one of them could feel the impact in their backs at the hit, also thankful it didn't look any worse.
The RAY's other arm opened a set of panels to launch a flurry of missiles toward the building. Ren saw the incoming warheads not as a threat, but as an opportunity.
Weiss raised an eyebrow, "How, exactly, would that be an opportunity?"
Ren leapt off of the roof and onto the top of one of the flying missiles, only to kick off and onto one behind it.
"I seriously don't have any words to say about this.", Roman complimented at this.
Ren jumped through the other wing and sliced it apart on the way. The RAY seemed to fall over in pain but used the moment to grab Ren in its 'jaw,' tossing him into the nearby clock tower. But this did nothing to slow him down. Ren peeled himself out of the cracked brick and ran down the tower toward the mech. He fell upon the mech like lightning, plunging his blade into the RAY's head. Sparks flew out from the wound, a result of the high frequency vibrations running through his blade.
Ruby turned to her sister, but also leaning away a bit, "Um… what was that?" The vibrations! There was something about the sword I couldn't make sense of at the time, but that's what it was!"
"But how would that benefit for a weapon?", Jaune asked.
Flit explained once more, "High Frequency blades are capable of severing bonds on a molecular level. It cuts through almost anything if swung hard enough."
Ren started to run down the length of the spine of the RAY with his blade still buried in its back. As he reached the ground again, he returned his blade to its sheath and the RAY collapsed into two halves.
"Now it won't fight anymore!", Ironwood concluded.
Ren took off again down the streets. He saw Lionheart in the distance, surrounded by his soldiers. His target, unfortunately, was lucky enough to have a train passing by. Lionheart jumped from the street and onto the moving train. Ren growled to himself, but couldn't just let him get away with the Prime Minister. So, the leaner cyborg started to run along the buildings to the side of the train before leaping off to catch the train.
Blake was seriously getting creeped out now. This was a little eerie considering his fighting style and now the train. It reminded her too much of Adam.
Ironwood on the other end of Ren's ear piece chimed in again, "He's heading for the front of the train! Catch him! But keep an eye out. An unidentified dropship was spotted in the area."
Ren charged forward, leaping over cargo boxes until he reached the car with Lionheart waiting nearby; Ghira chained to the car in front of them. However, he wasn't alone. Sitting between the two was another cybernetic man, Adam Taurus.
Kali blinked in surprise, "I… don't think I've ever seen him without the mask."
Lionheart smiled as Ren approached. "Too little too late. I don't need my shield anymore." He dragged his blade against the underside of the Ghiras chin, drawing blood.
The Belladona family winced at the display of torture of the Patriarch's alternate seld.
Ren tried to rush toward him, but Adam stood in his way with his red blade.
Lionheart turned back to Ghira, "What about all the good things war has done for us? Why don't we ever hear speeches about that?"
"There are good things?" Ruby asked.
"Boosting the economy due to weapon production?", Roman mused.
"At the cost of life, Torchwick?", Winter snarked at him.
"Hey, she asked. I answered. And that's basically true", Roman defended himself.
"Where are your speeches about that? Jobs? Technological advancement? Having a common purpose?", Lionheart continued while Adam yawned in boredom.
"Raiden..forget me", Ghira uttered out. "Stop him".
"You ain't listening..." Lionheart cut him down before holding him up toward Ren by the back of his neck. The Beacon Operative attempted to go after him but was held onto the defensive by Adam, to whom he was forced to jump away from.
"Mind if I cut in?", Adam casually asked.
And everyone was back down from their earlier high. Things went from ridiculous to heavy in the blink of an eye.
"All we're saying is...GIVE WAR A CHANCE!", Lionheart shouted before stabbing Ghira through the chest with his machete, with blood spilling everywhere.
"Ghira/Dad!", Blake and Kali cried out as the Patriarch consoled them in an attempt to calm them down. The audience were likewise irked by the amount of blood spilled.
"I'm alright you two, I'm all right", Ghira assured them though he felt uncomfortable at seeing himself being killed.
"NO!", Ren shouted as Lionheart tossed the Ghira's body like a ragdoll to the ground, Ren lunged forward to try to get past Adam. But Adam was fast enough to stop him and pull him back again. The dropship appeared over the train and picked up Lionheart with a support line. "He's all yours Adam."
Adam smirked and adopted a true fighting stance. "Let's go", he taunted Ren as the Beacon Operative's eyepiece activated once more. He and Ren possessed similar fighting style's but their blades were very different. Ren's was a straighter modern look to combat blades, while Adam wielded a red bladed katana. The two started to trade blows, each parrying the other for a counter attack to be blocked. After a while, their blades clashed with a high-pitched noise and sparks emanating from the point of contact.
Adam nodded, impressed, "Self-taught and not too bad. But still…" He broke the stalemate and Ren tried to push off and over him, but Adam was prepared and swung his body around to slash at Ren while he was in the air. Adam had taken control of the fight and was pushing Ren back along the train. "You're technique lacks something...".
As they clashed again, Adam looked like he realized something. "I see now. You deny your weapon its purpose.", Adam again counterattacked as he broke Ren's defense and sliced upwards, slashing down's Ren's eyepiece and his eye.
"Ren!", shouted JNP as Nora hugged the boy at seeing him like this. Ren was irked at seeing his eye getting sliced like that, even in an alternate universe.
Adam tossed Ren off but didn't follow through. He wasn't taking this seriously anymore. "It yearns to bathe in the blood of your enemies, and yet you hold it back!"
Blake sighed and shook her head, "Very Adam…"
Ruby took in a sharp breath, "Yikes. I saw the guy was a jerk, butthatbad?"
"You'd be surprised what people are capable of… Especially if they feel wronged and out of options." Blake remembered Adam before he had taken his first life.
Ren shook himself back to his senses, holding his bleeding eye. "Wrong. My sword is a tool of justice!"
Nora and Jaune snickered, "That was pretty cheesy."
Adam rolled his eyes. He stabbed the tank beneath them and ran the blade along the form. Fire started to spit from the metal wound, revealing the contents as fuel, and along his blade. Adam swung with the now flame-covered blade; each attack blocked by Ren but pushing the Beacon Operative back with every hit. He swung the blade down to create a smokescreen as he returned his blade to its sheath, out of view from Ren. The camera moved close to show a trigger near the top of the sheath. As Adam pulled it, the blade flew out from its casing with the force of a shotgun.
Blake was officially freaked out by this world. There were too many similarities between it and the Adam she knew.
Adam took the blade as it flew and used the momentum to slice through Ren's arm with little effort. As Ren flew back, Adam decided to throw his words against him for good measure, "This is why you don't bring a tool to a sword fight."
Phyrra covered her mouth in shock on what's happenning to her teammate while Nora and Jaune had horrified eyes at seeing this. Yang and Cinder instinctively held their arms, while the adults winced at the display.
Ren caught the edge of the last container of the train, barely holding on. He pulled himself up, but it was difficult to do with one arm. Adam approached, holding his blade toward Ren. "It's over..." As he raised his blade to end the Operative, they left the tunnel. Adam laughed a little to himself. "Lucky Devil…"
The camera swung around to show Ironwood riding along the nearby cliff in an armored transport turret. Ironwood fired the heavy gun toward Adam, effectively saving Ren."Kept you waiting, huh?", Ironwood called out to the Operative as he and a few gunners continued to fire at the enemy swordsman.
"No shit, Captain Obvious.", Qrow snarked.
Nora pumped her fist in celebration, "To the rescue!"
Adam had to focus on the new attacker and deflecting the incoming fire. The dropship appeared again, giving Adam his escape. Ironwood attempted to shoot down the dropship with a rocket launcher but failed when flares were used against it. Ren could only crawl on the container, bleeding from his severed arm and eye, clenching his remaining fist. His mission to protect the Prime Minister had failed and he blacked out due to blood loss. The screen fades to black thereafter.
