Downfall.

Ruby and Severa are facing off against Emerald and Mercury. The cousins switch positions and leap forward to take on their opponents. Severa knocks into Emerald while Ruby takes on Mercury. He quickly kicks Crescent Rose out of her hands.

"Uh oh, what're you gonna do now?" Mercury tries to throw a left cross, but Ruby ducks and headbutts him upwards - in a similar manner to what Ozpin taught her what to do. Mercury steps a few feet backwards and holds his nose in pain, before growling at Ruby.

Ruby picks up Crescent Rose "Whatever it takes to shut you up".

Severa clashed with Emerald several times before she managed to touch Emerald briefly. They continued clashing their weapons a few times before Emerald avoids an attack by leaping over Severa. She turns around, ready to attack... Only to see Cinder smiling at her. Emerald hesitated, until she was punched square in the jaw by Severa.

"Oh sorry, don't you like having your head being messed with for a change? You will pay for everything you did!" Severa declared as she rushed Emerald.

While that was doing on, Líf was deflecting several arrows from Bernadetta and barely blocked a stab from Weiss, who kicked him back, allowing Bernadetta to hit him in the shoulder with an arrow. Líf was growing more and more frustrated... and tired. But his pure hate kept him from giving up, as he raised his blade and charged the two girls.

Meanwhile, Nora is holding Magnhild up defensively protecting Jaune, who is still healing Lucina.

"You guys doing okay?" Nora asked.

"I- I think so. She's coming to. I just wish this would go faster" Jaune answered.

"How about you don't complain and just be thankful you unlocked your Semblance when you did" Nora said.

Jaune looks up "My Semblance?".

Nora smiled teasingly "How else do you think you're healing her, dummy?".

Jaune stares back at her in disbelief before looking back down at Lucina "No. I don't think I'm healing her. Our Aura heals our bodies. It feels... it feels more like I'm using my Aura to amplify hers!".

"Wait, aren't you worried about running out?" Nora asked in concern.

Jaune smiled "Pyrrha once told me I've got a lot of it. I still believe her".

Suddenly, Lucina opens up her eyes, stirring "Jaune?".

Nora smiles before standing guard again. Meanwhile, Ren is seen taking on Hazel, who punches Ren back into the wall. Hazel then launches an electrical charge from his lightning-Dust enhanced arm, electrocuting Ren, causing him to scream in pain before falling to the ground.

"REN!" Nora shouts in worry.

"Go! I've got her!" Jaune instructed, Nora nods at him before proceeding forward.

Lucina groans a little "Jaune... what's going on?".

"You took a heavy hit, you need to stay with me while the others fight" Jaune said.

"I can't lay here... and do nothing... I need to help" Lucina said.

"And you will, after you are back in good shape" Jaune said.

Lucina sighed "What a pain in the bum...".

Jaune smiled "Good to have you back, Lucina".

Meanwhile, Qrow is getting knocked back into the wall and then falls to the ground next to the downed Ren, who struggles to get back up as well. Oscar uses The Long Memory to block flaming rocks being fired at him. Hazel charges forward and punches Oscar several feet back.

"Hiding behind the face of a child? A monster like you must be stopped!" Hazel said in rage, before Nora charges at him with a loud battle cry. She leaps into the air, but Hazel catches Magnhild and slams Nora into the ground. Hazel then grabs Nora's head, electrocuting her with his lightning Dust-enhanced arms. She screams out in pain "How many more children must die for you?!".

Suddenly, Nora grabs Hazel's wrist, surprising him. Nora, inadvertently enhanced by Hazel's electricity thanks to her Semblance, stands back up and flips him over her shoulder. He rolls back several feet away.

Nora then holds Magnhild up defensively, before Ozpin gets her attention "His Semblance... he can block out pain. It's how he is able to handle injecting so much Dust into his body".

Nora stares back at Hazel, who stands back up "I don't need him to hurt..." Hazel screams and charges forward again "I just need him to GO DOWN!".

As Hazel nears her, Nora preps to swing Magnhild. She then swings her hammer right into Hazel's chest, her counterattack launching him through the wall and outside onto Haven Academy's quad. Adam and White Fang soldiers look on in shock.

A White Fang Soldier looks at Adam "What's going on in there?".

"None of your concern..." Adam and his followers stare in amazement as they watch Hazel get back up.

He then takes out a pair of red Dust crystals and stabs them into his arms. He lets out another roar as Ruby watches from inside the building. She then looks back to her friends and allies, all of them looking tired and worn out from the battle they've endured.

"Stay focused! Our friends are almost done here" Adam and his followers get back to work, but then they hear a voice call out to him.

"ADAM!" They all look up and see Blake standing proudly on top of the roof of a nearby building.

Adam looked surprised "Blake?".

Hazel looks at her "Who is that?".

"Stand down!" Blake commanded and The White Fang soldiers aim their firearms at her.

"Wait!" Adam puts his hands up as the White Fang soldiers stand down, before laughing evilly "To think that I went through so much trouble to find you, only to have you deliver yourself to me".

"This isn't what's right for the Faunus! Stop what you're doing and we can end this peacefully" Blake said.

"You're wrong, Blake, and you can't stop us" Adam said.

"No, I can't. Not by myself" Blake agreed.

"That's why she didn't come alone!" Adam and his followers turn to the left in surprise, seeing Sun standing in front of a massive legion of Faunus all armed with blunt weaponry, their shields bearing the old White Fang symbol.

"We all came with her" Said Lyre from on top of another building, with Lethe standing next to her.

"And I am done following your madness, Adam" Lethe declared.

"What?!" Adam said in shock and anger.

"Who's there?" A White Fang Soldier said as they then turn to the right, and see Ghira leading another massive legion of Faunus.

"Your brothers and sisters" Ghira declared.

One of the White Fang Soldiers lowers his weapon, recognizing one of the Faunus in the crowd "M-Mata?".

Mata is seen in the crowd holding a club and shield "Please... stop this...".

Adam and his followers look all around them assessing the situation "Make no mistake, brothers! These are our enemies! And we will not let them ruin-".

Suddenly, Adam is interrupted when a Mistral airship shines its searchlight down on Adam and his group. The Mistral police captain is seen on the airship with Kali.

The Police Captain spoke "Adam Taurus, this is the Mistral Police Force! Lower your weapons and surrender peacefully".

More Mistral airships arrive. Back inside, Ruby knocks Emerald back a few feet. Emerald then hears the sounds of the Mistral airships as their searchlights shine through the windows. Everyone stops what they are doing.

Lucina leans up as Jaune continues healing her "What's happening out there?".

"I'm not sure. How are you feeling?" Jaune asked

Lucina sits up "I feel... Even better than before. Just a little more and it's payback time".

Back outside, Blake lands to the ground from the roof.

"How?! How did you do this?!" Adam demanded.

"Adam, it's over" Blake said.

Adam looks around as the crowds of Menagerie Faunus get closer to him and his group. He then pulls out a detonator "Then it's over for all of us".

A Female White Fang Soldier looked terrified "Hey wait!".

Adam's followers hold up their arms as they brace for the impending explosion. Adam presses the button, but nothing happens.

"Huh?" He presses the detonator button a few more times, nothing happens.

"What are you doing? Trying to get us all killed?!" One of his followers demanded.

Suddenly, Adam grabs his collar enraged "I am making humanity pay for WHAT THEY'VE DONE!".

Adam let's go and pushes the White Fang soldier back when Blake speaks "We sent someone over to confirm your explosives, and once we did, she disarmed them".

Ilia walks out from around the tower, dropping her black camouflage as she holds the wires in her hand that disabled the bombs. Adam seethes, realizing that the situation is no longer in his favor.

Adam turns to Hazel "What do we do?!".

Hazel cracks his knuckles "This... is your business. Not mine. Fix it".

"On the contrary" Came another familiar voice before Zelgius warps in to the middle of everything "Sienna Kahn has made it clear that anyone working with Adam Taurus is to be punished. That includes you, Hazel".

Adam just glares at him before turning to Blake.

"I told you, Adam. It's over..." She said calmly.

Adam, not having any of it, yells out in frustration and charges forward toward Blake. He takes out Wilt from Blush to slash at her, but Blake uses her Semblance to get out of the way and she knocks him down by balling her fists together and hitting his back.

Adam falls to the ground on his knees, before yelling out to his followers "KILL THEM!".

And thus, the battle between both Faunus groups begin. The White Fang soldiers draw their weapons and attempt to fire at the Mistral airships. Sun leaps around twirling Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang in its staff form, landing on one's shoulders to shoot them. A Faunus with a club battles one soldier, while Ilia fights two more with Lightning Lash. Sun knocks another down before shooting at a second, nearby a horned Faunus strikes her opponent and drives them back. Lyre blocks a blow from an enemy and Lethe kicks him away, the two sister then procceeds to fight of several other enemies.

Hazel observes the situation in front of him but suddenly Zelgius warps in front of him. Before Hazel could react, Zelgius punched him square in the chest, sending him flying back inside. The people inside were surprised, before Zelgius walks back in.

"You?!" Severa asked on guard.

"As much as I would love to see how you girls have grown since our last battle, I have bigger problems to deal with. Figuratively, and literately" Zelgius said.

Blake rushed inside and was surprised by who she saw "Yang? Severa?".

"Blake..." Severa said.

Yang stares back in disbelief, before her sister snaps her out of her trance "Yang! Go!"

Ruby points in the direction of the vault entrance.

"You're not going anywhere!" Mareeta declared as she attacks, but Yang grabbed her sword with her prosthetic arm.

"I'm sorry..." She said before delivering a blow square to Mareeta's jaw, sending her flying in to a wall.

Yang runs forward. Emerald and Mercury try to stop her.

"No!" Emerald tries to stop Yang, but Lucina slashed at her, forcing her to block with her weapons, but the force of the blow sent her back.

Mercury grabs her prosthetic arm. Yang's eyes briefly turn red before turning back to normal. She detaches her arm and continues forward, causing Mercury to lose his balance for a bit. She jumps down the hole leading to the vault. Emerald and Mercury attempt to give chase, but they are stopped by an ice wall that suddenly appears in front of them. They turn around and see Weiss, who could take a break from fighting Líf as a barrage of arrows from Bernadetta had brought him to his knee. Jaune watches from his position and smiles.

Blake looks at Severa "Severa, I...".

"Oh trust me Blake. You and I will have a talk later... But for now, we have trash to take out" Severa said.

"Right" Blake agreed before both girls went back to their respective battles.

Soon the heroes and villains were all facing of with each other one last clash to decide the fate of Haven.
