Taking advantage of the opening, Akira launches a devastating punch, his fist glowing with dark energy as it slams into Raven's sword.
The force sends her skidding back, her expression shifting to one of frustration.
Raven: "You're stronger than before. But strength without purpose is nothing."
Akira: "My purpose is clear. You're not walking away from this."
Akira then pushes back and pulls the "Force Executor" activating another Finisher
Forceriser: [ Howl Dystopia ! ]
Akira's "Howl Dystopia" is interrupted as the bright light from Ruby's light explosion disrupts the Grimm Beowolf armor.
Sparks erupt across Akira's body, and the armor's unstable components begin to malfunction.
His unstable Grimm Beowolf armor emits flickering red energy, further destabilizing his movements due to the silver light
Despite this, Akira presses on, his clawed gauntlets slashing at Raven's sword with relentless force.
The two are locked in a deadly rhythm, each strike generating shockwaves that reverberate throughout the chamber.
Raven: "Impressive, But brute strength will only get you so far."
She sidesteps Akira's overhead slash, countering with a precise diagonal strike.
Her katana, Omen, cuts through his armor at the shoulder, exposing sparking wires and damaged plating.
Akira stumbles back, clutching the wound.
Akira: "Damn it… Aura… Why didn't I figure this out sooner?"
Raven: "You're fighting with borrowed power. You can't win like this."
Before Akira can retaliate, his Grimm Beowolf armor begins to malfunction, the dark energy leaking out in bursts.
Raven sees her opportunity and closes the distance, delivering a series of swift cuts that further damage Akira's suit.
Akira: "I'm not done yet."
Raven: "You're going to destroy yourself if you keep pushing that thing. Do us all a favor and quit while you still have something left."
Akira doesn't respond. Instead, he deactivates the Grimm Beowolf armor, staggering as the restraints release with a hiss of escaping energy.
His breathing is labored, but his rage and hatred burns brighter.
Taking advantage of the opening, Raven swiftly closes the gap, her katana "Omen" flashing in a blur.
She delivers a precise diagonal slash across Akira's shoulder, cutting through the weakened armor and forcing him to stagger back in pain.
Akira: "Tch... Not bad... But this isn't over yet."
Akira retracts the "Force Executor," causing the Grimm Beowolf armor to disassemble into flickering remnants as he takes the Progrisekey out
He takes a deep breath, his aura gradually repairing his injuries to its best of it's capabilities
Akira: "If darkness can't take you down... let's see how high I can rise!"
Jaune cradles Weiss's motionless body, his face contorted with anguish.
Around him, the chaotic battle momentarily halts as everyone processes what has just occurred. Cinder smirks triumphantly, standing above the scene with an air of superiority.
Jaune: "Weiss !!!"
The air grows tense as Jaune's aura flares in a burst of white energy. He glares at Cinder, his grief giving way to fury.
Jaune: "You'll pay for this!"
Cinder chuckles mockingly, raising her hand to conjure another obsidian spear. Before she can strike, Qrow steps forward, his scythe "Harbinger" gleaming in the dim light.
Qrow: "You're not laying another finger on him."
Behind them, Hazel, now fully enraged and enhanced by Dust, barrels toward Oscar and Nora.
The duo barely manage to evade his thunderous strikes as bolts of lightning crackle around him.
Hazel: "Ozpin!!! You'll die for what you did to my sister!"
Oscar stumbles backward, his grip tightening on
"The Long Memory." Ozpin's voice echoes in his mind.
Ozpin: "Run, Oscar! Now!"
As the chaos unfolds, Yang exchanges a glance with Nora, both realizing the dire situation.
With Ruby still unconscious and Weiss critically wounded, they must act quickly to save their team.
Back with Akira and Raven
From his belt, Akira retrieves the Rising Hopper Progrisekey, its vibrant green glow contrasting against the dim, battle-torn room.
Akira: "If the Grimm can't cut it… I'll rise above it."
Pressing the Rise Starter, he activates the Progrisekey.
Rising Hopper Progrisekey: [ Jump ! ]
The Forceriser's industrial siren blares again, drawing everyone's attention.
Forceriser: [WOOOON… WOOOON… WOOOON…]
Sliding the Progrisekey into the Rise Vice, Akira grips the Force Executor and pulls it decisively.
Akira: "Henshin!"
A massive, translucent mechanical grasshopper materializes above Akira, its segmented legs clamping onto his form.
As it disintegrates into pieces, the armor forms around him with sharp, precise movements.
Forceriser: [ Forcerise! Rising Hopper! ]
Forceriser: [ A jump to the sky that turns into a Rider Kick ! ]
The vibrant green and black armor settles into place, the restraint cables locking everything together.
The insect-themed design gleams with a renewed energy.
Forceriser: [ Break down ! ]
Akira takes a step forward, his movements now fluid and precise.
Despite the visible strain on his body, his resolve remains unshaken.
Raven pauses momentarily as the Forceriser's announcement rings out, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.
Raven: "You're going to destroy yourself if you keep pushing that thing. Do us all a favor and quit while you still have something left."
Shifting back to the rest
Qrow: "This kid just doesn't know when to quit."
Yang: "What is he trying to prove?"
Ruby: "He's… fighting for something…"
Jaune: "But is it enough?"
As Raven steps onto the descending platform with Cinder, Vernal.
Akira doesn't hesitate. He leaps into the elevator shaft with unnatural speed, landing on the descending platform just as it to moves down.
