Sun: He sees us...
Sun tries to smile and wave.
Blake noticed the junction box on the wall.
Blake: He can't see in the dark.
With that, Blake unsheathes Gambol Shroud, transforms it into a pistol, and shoots at the box, making the lights go out for the whole building and turning the screen dark.
Roman: Don't let them get away!
Blake: Sun! The window!
Roman: Stop them!
Before the two student Huntsmen crash through the window and start running as fast as they can, the mechanized sound of running power signals the Altesian Paladin's activation, and it crashes through the wall of the building in pursuit of the runaways, who leap off of a car and manage to get on the roofs. The Paladin follows beside them on the street as Blake and Sun run, jump, and flip from rooftop to rooftop.
Sun amidst twirls in the air.
Sun: So you wouldn't happen to have... oh, I don't know... some form of backup?!
Blake: On it!
Blake grabs her Scroll and puts it to her ear as she continues to jump. Unknown to Sun and Blake. Mando, Cara, and IG-11 are on top of a rooftop.
Mando: Cara you were right team RWBY is interfering with Roman's mission.
Cara: What do we do Mando?
Mando: We have to fight team RWBY from afar and someone text Habib.
IG-11: I already texted him.
Mando: Good. Now let's follow them.
Weiss Schnee is seen leaving the Cross Continental Transmit tower's elevator when she grabs her own Scroll and listens to Blake's message.
Blake: Everyone! If you can hear me, we need back-
Sun: HEEEELLLLP!
Weiss rolls her eyes and starts running out the door, a little smile on her face as she does so. At Beacon Habib and Pyrrha arrived back at her dorm after a date.
Pyrrha: I had fun today Habib.
Habib: So did I Pyrrha. I'll see you tomorrow.
Pyrrha: See you tomorrow Habib.
Habib and Pyrrha kissed and Pyrrha went inside her dorm. Habib is walking to his dorm until his scroll dinged. He grabbed his scroll and read the message from IG-11. Habib sighs and texted back. He puts his scroll away and ran to his dorm to get his hoodie. Ruby is still beside the dumpster (which is boarded up, possibly to keep the rat imprisoned), staring at her Scroll.
Sun: Big robot! And it's big! Really big!
Ruby: (Excitedly) Oh, I am not missing this!
Ruby runs off to join the fight.
Yang is back on the motorcycle in her helmet and sunglasses with Neptune looking at the Scroll in her hand over her shoulder.
Sun: That Torchwick guy is in it! But not, like, it didn't eat him; he's, like, controlling it or something!
Yang: Where are you guys?
Right on cue, behind them, Blake and Sun can be seen running through the street with the Paladin hot on their heels before they all disappear from view.
Sun: HURRYYYY!!!
Neptune: I think that was them.
Yang: Yeah, I got it.
Yang is putting her Scroll away and she quickly circles her ride around - much to Neptune's alarm - and drives off to follow them. Blake and Sun somehow make it to the highways, jumping down into the busy street and continuing their escape by hopping on cars while the Paladin follows them by pushing vehicles out of the way. Sun pauses to look at their pursuer's path of destruction and offer a quick "Whoa!" before leaping onto more cars, much to the anger of Roman inside the robot, his face surrounded by blue holographic screens.
Roman: 'Are they seriously not going to get the citizens to safely first! Isn't saving citizens more important than chasing the 'criminal?'
Yang and Neptune are able to follow the mech suit on their ride, coming up next to it as it runs.
Yang: We've gotta slow it down!
Neptune: Got it!
Team MCHI are on a rooftop watching.
Habib: Mando, Cara get the citizens to safely! IG if they shoot at the Paladin try to block it with your own bullets!
Mando, Cara, IG-11: Yes Habib!
Mando, Cara, and IG-11 went to do their jobs.
Neptune reaches for his gun, but Roman notices the pair on his sensors and crashes into a multitude of cars with the Paladin's strong bulk, sending them flying towards his chasers.
Yang: Hold on!
Neptune: Wuh-oh...
Yang swerves, leaning her bike to the side in avoidance of flying debris while Neptune flails in a panic. Back on two wheels again, Neptune unslings his weapon, aims as sparks start flying, and fires several bolts of blue electricity at the Paladin but it was blocked by IG-11's bullets.
Roman: 'Thank Oum that help is here.'
Neptune was shocked that his attack was blocked.
Neptune: Roman has a sniper with him but I don't know where!
Neptune flips the gun and it grows a shaft and an energy blade at the end, then jumps from Yang's bike as the spear's head splits in three and tries to drive it into the top of the Paladin but stopped quickly because IG-11 was shooting at Neptune's direction. Neptune starts using his shaft and energy blade to block the bullets.
Sun and Blake pause in their car-hopping to look back.
Sun: Neptune, hang on!
Neptune is trying his best, but the bullets are firing fast. Sun smashes his palms together, and from the golden Aura around him, his Semblance creates two glowing outlines that copy their creator, leaping off and going back over the tops of vehicles to collide into the Paladin's front but IG-11 used his second gun and starts shooting at sun. As Blake looks on from her spot, she hears a voice from her Scroll:
Weiss: Blake! I'm in position!
Weiss is seen twirling over a highway and landing in the middle of the road, holding Myrtenaster at the approaching Roman.
IG-11: Mando I need help!
Mando: Got it IG, Cara continue getting the citizens to safely.
Cara: Got it Mando!
Mando used his jet pack to go to a roof and fired some Whistling Birds at Weiss. Ruby used Crescent Rose to cut the Whistling Birds in half.
Weiss: Great Torchwick doesn't just have a sniper with him but he also has someone else helping him.
Habib: Roman can you hear me?
A video image of Habib appeared on the Paladin.
Roman: Yes I can hear you prince Habib.
Habib: Get the Paladin to Auradon! I will deal with team RWBY.
Roman: Got it prince Habib.
The video image of Habib disappeared and Roman starts driving the Paladin away from the scene.
Weiss: Where is he going!
Ruby: Freezer Burn! Quick before Torchwick escapes.
Ruby and Blake jump back out of the way as Weiss performs her same ice-circle trick, but backs out of Yang's way when she jumps into the air and hits the epicenter with her Ember Celica and was about to create a wave of mist to surround Roman but and ice wall appeared.
Yang: Weiss why did you do that! Torchwick is getting away!
Weiss: I didn't do that!
Blake: Weiss! Yang!
Weiss and Yang: What?!
Blake: Look.
Team RWBY looks at where Blake is pointing and they saw the same hooded person that they fought last time.
Weiss : Oh great.
The ground starts shaking and the sword in the stone appeared. Habib took the sword out.
Ruby: Checkmate!
Blake and Weiss go in this time, each girl going for the feet until Weiss jumps up and stabs a sensor before leaping off of a white glyph. Habib ran to attack Blake but Weiss summons another glyph under her teammate to launch her backwards before a hit can land.
Habib: Let's see if my training with my friend, Ty Lee payed off.'
Habib ran to Weiss and before she had a chance to block and attack Habib hit her on certain spots. Weiss became paralyzed and both her aura and semblance were now blocked. He did the same thing to Blake and Yang. Habib turned around and was about to do the same thing to Ruby but she started to attack him with Crescent Rose. Habib kept blocking Ruby's attack with Excalibur. Habib used Excalibur to hit Crescent Rose and it landed on the ground. He hit Ruby on certain spots. Just like the rest of her team, Ruby became paralyzed and both her aura and semblance were now blocked. Excalibur disappeared and Habib froze team RWBY's feet. Team MCHI left to go back to Beacon.
Sun and Neptune are sitting in the middle stools of the "A Simple Wok Noodle House" eating their plates of noodles with the Shopkeep behind the counter and their weapons leaning on the other two stools.
Neptune: They're probably fine, right?
Sun: Probably.
His question answered, Neptune turns back to his noodles, and the two eat in silence.
