Insane Scorpion and Cool Black Crow Fight!
Team RNJR-K are standing on their fighting stance as they ready themselves to fight this Tyrian guy who just showed up out of nowhere and claims to be taking Ruby away, but they won't let him take Ruby without a fight.
"Be careful guys, this could be seriously dangerous." Jaune whispered to his team.
"Oh, how right you are." Tyrian giggled insanely and suddenly appears right behind Jaune.
(Music: Rules of Nature, Metal Gear Rising OST)
"Jaune!" Ren shouted and Jaune reacted using his shield to bounces the bullets to Tyrian who blocks them with his claw-blade.
Kimi move around Jaune and swing her sword upward to the right at Tyrian's face though he leans backward to avoid the sword as it flew avoid his nose, then he jumps in the air rolling himself on Jaune's shield and using his claw-blade to spin himself and blocks another strike from Kimi. Ruby charges in to fight him as well, but Tyrian jumps off Jaune's shield pushing Kimi away and easily dodge a scythe attack from Ruby before kicking her away. Jaune swing his sword at the crazy man who simply dodges down kick the Arc boy on the head, Kimi jumps over and slashes her sword at Tyrian clashing against his claw-blades and kick Jaune away to her.
Then Tyrian starts running towards Nora, Ruby aimed her Crescent Rose sniper mode at the guy and fired a lightning Dust bullet though the shot passes his head and hit Nora instead knocking her down and dropping her Magnhild.
Tyrian was shocked that the red-hooded girl had shot her friend and laughs insanely of the most ironic thing he has ever seen.
"Well, if that isn't ironic." Tyrian said.
However, Tyrian's mirth fades from his face as soon as he saw Ruby and others are actually grinning with the hint of determination on their faces instead of sad and shock expression he was expecting and sense something is up.
Unnoticed to him from behind, Nora gets back up with her hammer in her hands as she is now charged up stronger thanks to the lightning Dust shot Ruby gave her.
"I think the ironic thing is that you're going to be in for a shock." Kimi dashed toward Tyrian jumps with her sword above for a strong downward strike.
But Tyrian was quickly as he cross slashes at Kimi in the stomach taking her out, or at least that's what he thought when he felt the force of his own attack reflected right back at him by Kimi's Dance of the Summit Semblance and Nora rushes behind him over the shoulder and hits him with her hammer that causes a shockwave blowing the air and dusts away as the other cover themselves. Just when they thought they had the upper hand on the crazy guy, the dust clears away revealing that Nora did hit him though not what they were expecting as it shows that Tyrian has block the hammer with his scorpion tail.
"Surprise!" Tyrian laughed and kick Nora twice, then he leaps onto a roof and leaving his coat behind.
"He's... a Faunus." Ren surprised.
"What? Are you telling me none of you ever notices the tail?" Kimi asked.
"Kimi, we were fighting the guy and he was wearing a coat. How could we even notices through all that?" Jaune pointed out.
"Jaune Arc, as a Huntsman you should always take notices at even the smallest things to be aware of things." Kimi lectured.
"Are you seriously giving me a "Wife lecture her Husband" thing now?" Jaune exclaimed.
"Of course, as your sexy wife, I have to make sure you understand the basic and means of being a Huntsman. My sexy noble knight." Kimi said as she kisses him on the cheek causing Jaune to blush.
"Kimi! What in front of the insane scorpion man!" Jaune grunted though that didn't stop him from giving her a quick kiss on the lips.
"Oh my, it would seem I stumble upon an affair." Tyrian laughed a little.
"What do you want? Revenge for the White Fang? Roman Torchwick?" Ruby demanded to know.
"Plastic soldiers and pawns. My heart and body belong only to our goddess!" Tyrian said.
"Cinder." Ruby glared.
"Hold on, Ruby. Perhaps it's not Cinder herself, but maybe someone both she and this man are working for." Kimi theorized.
"How correct you are!" Tyrian smirked and jumps back into the fight.
Tyrian uses his tail to knock down Crescent Rose but Ruby doesn't lose her grip on it despite being surprise, they attack while dodging until Tyrian kicks her away as he blocks an attack from Kimi as they both clashes their blades. Kimi swirl around strike at him from the side though her attacks are block by his tail and he was going to slash her on the head which Kimi would let that happen, but Tyrian actually stops his attack.
"Fool me once, shame on you." Tyrian wrapped his tail around Kimi's waist and threw her away.
Ren goes in for slashes with his weapon as Tyrian easily blocks them and thrust his tail at the boy who quickly dodges them, Ren tries to slash him again though got kick away as Jaune comes in with a thrust attack only for his sword to kick down and push back. Nora swing her hammer at Tyrian as his tail blocks it and pushes her back, Ren comes back throwing a few slash attacks only to leap away when Tyrian attacks him with his tail then the insane man went after Ruby. Ruby tries her best to block Tyrian's attacks, but he succeed punching her in the head and torso before sending her flying with his tail and rushes forward to meet her halfway and kick her strong before she could land.
(Music End)
Ruby groans in pain a little despite being protected by her aura as Tyrian walks up to her with his eyes changed color into purple and his tail ready to stab her, the others saw this knowing wouldn't make it to her in time as the stinger went right to Ruby.
"NOOOO?!" Jaune screamed, praying for his life for something, anything to save Ruby as he didn't want to lose another person close to him die.
But suddenly a man came right front a building and blocks the tail with his sword while his back is turn to the insane me.
Ruby looks up and surprise to see the man who saved her is someone she knew very well.
The man has graying black, spiky hair with the bangs down, brilliant vermilion eyes, and slight stubble along his jawline. Along with a red, tattered cloak, he wears a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants and black dress shoes. He also wears a ring on his right index finger, two other rings on his right ring finger and a necklace with a crooked cross-shaped pendant.
"Who is that?" Kimi asked Jaune.
"That's Ruby's Uncle, I think his name is Qrow." Jaune recalled Ruby telling him about his uncle a few times.
"Hey." Qrow greeted.
Tyrian retreated his tail as he recognizes the man who stop his tail.
"As I live and breathe, Qrow Branwen. A true Huntsman has entered the fray!" Tyrian said with a mocking bow.
Qrow glances back at Ruby getting back up with her Crescent Rose.
"I don't know, this guy's weird." Ruby shrugged.
"Look, pal, I'm not sure who you are, but you need to leave my niece alone." Qrow said in a serious tone.
"Why, friend, my name is Tyrian. And I'm afraid that is not possible. My assignment from Her Grace was to retrieve this young girl. So, that is what I must do. One does not upset the Queen." Tyrian explained.
"Queen?" Ruby confused.
"Salem." Qrow muttered the name out loud.
"Who?" Ruby asked.
"Jaune, I'm not sure why but this is starting to remind me of the night went that underground vault back in Beacon." Kimi whispered.
"You think so?" Jaune asked.
"Call it a woman's intuition." Kimi said.
"Hmm, I think we've had enough talk now, don't you?" Tyrian asked crouching down.
"You took the words right out of—" Qrow quickly blocked a rush attack before he could finish his sentence.

The two fighters start clashing and moving around fast on the center of the ruined city with their blades hitting each other and dodging strikes to counterattack, Qrow seems to be adapting well against the insane man with the scorpion tail as they causes a shockwave from a collision of their blades. Qrow blocking Tyrian's claw blades and tail before pushing him back then jumps in the air rolling himself fast and downward strike Tyrian as he blocks it that causes a shockwave slash to slice down a part of a roof. Despite down on his knees, Tyrian would not surrender as he smirks and unleash the built in guns on his weapon he calls them "he Queen's Servants" forcing Qrow to jump back and blocks the shots while Tyrian is circling around him.
Nora and Ren thought they couldn't just sit back as this was their fight from the start, they decided to attack the insane while he was busy fighting Qrow, but Tyrian saw their sneak attack coming and easily dodges them and spin kick them close so he can kick them away back to the others together. Tyrian runs to the teens to fight them again, but Qrow intervenes blocking him back with his sword and quickly looking back at Ruby and her friends.
"Don't come closer!" Qrow grunted before continuing the fight.
"Fine." Ruby said.
Ruby and up a small staircase and blast herself up on a rooftop taking a sniper position, she tries to get a good aim to shoot Tyrian either on the head or right between the legs, but the two adults are moving too fast for her to get a clear shot which makes her frustrated.
Qrow and Tyrian clashes each other their blades and dodging the bullets too, then Tyrian thrust his tail at Qrow as he narrowly dodge the stinger but it wraps around his arm and pulls on Qrow which forces him to let go of his sword and is thrown into a wall.
Qrow looks at his hand for a bit before looking at Tyrian again who give out his insane smile being still enough for Ruby to shot the guy but miss, this made Tyrian feel amuses as he deflect the other shots with his tail.
"Okay, now that man is just showing off." Kimi rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, it's like he has a second brain in there." Nora commented.
"Wouldn't that make him more insane?" Jaune asked.
"If that's even possible." Ren said.
Back with Qrow, he looks at his hand curling into a fist and shrug before he punch Tyrian in the face that made him groan in pain and Qrow lands another punch cross the face followed by an uppercut and finally a kick sending him flying back several feet. After that, Qrow just causal walks by with a smirk on his face and taking the halt of his sword to pull it out from the wall but Tyrian try to strike at Qrow unguard though the red eye man saw this coming and leaps on his sword almost changing it into scythe mode. He launch himself on the rooftop and Tyrian follows as their battle continues with them being evenly match again, Qrow notices a broken beam and trick the scorpion man into stepping on which he fell as Qrow jumps but got drag down by Tyrian's tail.
Seeing her uncle getting drag into the building was enough to make Ruby go into battle despite Qrow telling her not to come closer, she runs to the building to help Qrow but he seen crashing through a wall and bounces on the ground. He threw his Harbinger with the blade stabs the ground and he lands on his sword which force it back a few feet, his dark red aura shows the damage it has taken flickering twice. Tyrian still in the building with his purple aura flickering too before he comes out charging at Qrow who does the same to fight again, but suddenly Ruby comes between them and deflect Tyrian's blade with hers.
"Ruby!" Jaune gasped wanting to go help her, but Kimi stops him.
"There's nothing we can do at this point. We just have to prey that she'll come back, and the crazy bug is put to sleep." Kimi pointed out, hating herself for not going to help her friend too.
"I don't think scorpions are bugs." Ren said.
"Well, I hope he get squash like one!" Nora angered.
"Do you wish to be taken?" Tyrian asked sarcastically.
"No! But I won't stand by and watch someone get hurt!" Ruby determined to fight as hard too so she wouldn't be a burden to her Uncle and herself.
Ruby and Qrow charges at Tyrian swinging their bladed weapons as they are parried by Tyrian's blade for an instant struggle until the scorpion-Faunus turns Qrow around and kicks him in the back then pounce Ruby with his tail. She blocks them twirling her scythe around and tries to counterattack, but Tyrian knocks it away and strike her with his tail as Ruby couldn't react in time though Qrow knock the stinger away and they begun a power struggling trying to push each other back.
"Ruby! What did I say?! Get back!" Qrow grunted glancing at his niece for a second.
"This is my fight, too!" Ruby yelled and circle around Tyrian to attack him from behind, but he jumps over the scythe.
"No, it's not that. It's—" Qrow's sentence was cut off again when Tyrian left him to attack again.
Ruby slice at Tyrian's blade and counter his tail, but Tyrian flip himself up and it knock back by his two-footed kick sending her a few feet away. Ruby gains her footing and prepare to fight again, the wooden beam before her broke apart and fell as it was about to hit Ruby, but Qrow saves her by slicing the wooden beam in half.
The two smile at each other, but leaves Qrow distracted for Tyrian to slash on his torso with is stinger leaving the Uncle gasp and the other shock that he manage to poison Qrow as the crazy scorpion man chuckles evilly with his eyes turn purple. But Ruby quickly place the blade end on Tyrian's tail and gunfire slice the stinger right off causing Tyrian to scream in agonizing pain.
(Music End)
"YOU BITHC!" Tyrian cursed.
Tyrian was about to charge at her for revenge of his tail, but he stops when Jaune, Kimi, Ren, and Nora steps in to protect Ruby and Qrow.
"It looks like your off balance with the missing part of your tail, can you really fight like that with us still in top form?" Kimi asked rhetorically while pointing her katana at him.
Tyrian didn't want to retreat and let these brats get away with this, but it pains him to admit that he can't fight the way he was before his stinger was cut off meaning he has no choice but to abandon the mission.
"She'll forgive you." Tyrian said to himself and ran away.
"Something tells me we'll be seeing that guy again." Kimi warned.
"And next time, we'll be ready." Jaune determined.
Then Qrow fell on his knee and groans in pain from the cut on his left side of the torso.
"Uncle Qrow! Are you okay?" Ruby asked worry.
"I'll be fine. He just grazed me." Qrow tried to look cool despite the pain and his hand shaking.
"Who was that guy?" Nora asked.
"How did you get here?" Ren puzzled.
"Why are people after Ruby?" Jaune asked a little scare.
"Do you happen to know about the weird giant room under Beacon with the injured woman in the metal capsule?" Kimi asked if he knew about the Vault too.
"Uncle Qrow? What's going on?" Ruby asked concern.
Qrow knew he couldn't keep this a secret from them, especially with Ruby involve in this too.
"What's your favorite fairy tale?" Qrow asked smirking a little.\
