Holding the Ark Scorpion Progrisekey in his hand as it glows faintly.

Akira's voice is calm, but the weight of his conviction cuts through the tension like a blade.

Akira: (coldly) "Doubt isn't enough to break them. We need to crush their spirit entirely. Only then will they see the truth."

Adam: (stoic, resting his hand on the hilt of his weapon) "The people are starting to realize Ironwood's weakness. Let them stew in it. The moment will come when they beg for salvation."

Onyx: (smirking) "And we'll be there to give it to them. On our terms."

Amethyst: (stretching her arms, her eyes gleaming with anticipation) "Speaking of terms, we've got a schedule to keep, don't we? The academy won't breach itself."

Akira nods and turns toward his forces. With a subtle gesture, the Trilobite Magia under his command begin to mobilize, their synchronized movements echoing like a drumbeat of impending war.

Akira: "Adam. Onyx. Take your units and begin the encirclement. Ensure no one escapes."

Adam: (nodding) "Understood."

Onyx: (grinning) "Time to show these Huntsmen what real power looks like."

The two split off, leading their groups of Trilobite Magia into the streets, their paths diverging as they prepare to surround Atlas Military and Academy.

Akira turns to Amethyst, his expression softening slightly.

Akira: "Amethyst, you're my eyes in the sky. Maintain surveillance and disrupt their movements. Keep them off balance."

Amethyst's smirk widens as she pulls out her Forceriser and the Assault Nevermore Progrisekey.

Amethyst: "You got it, boss. Time to give them a show."

She attaches the Assault Grip to the Progrisekey, activating it.

Assault Nevermore Progrisekey : (shrill, mechanical screech) [ Screechs of Extinction! ]

Amethyst places the Forceriser against her belt, the device latching on with a surge of red electricity.

The activation announcement rings out, a gritty, industrial tone.

Forceriser: [ Forceriser ! ]

Amethyst raises her hand, preparing to grip the Force Executor firmly.

Amethyst: (calmly) "Henshin."

She slots the Assault Nevermore Progrisekey into the Rise Loader, triggering the stand by sound a industrial siren accompanied by a heavy drumbeat rhythm.

With a sharp pull, she activates the transformation.

The Progrisekey forcibly opens, releasing a colorless Rider model of a Nevermore.

The model screeches as it materializes and circles her, its mechanical wings casting an eerie shadow.

Forceriser: [ Forcerise! Nevermore Assault ! ]

The Model dives into Amethyst, shattering into fragments that attach themselves to her materialized undersuit.

The Restraint Cables extend from the Forceriser and undersuit, latching onto the armor pieces and locking them into place.

Forceriser: [ Prepare for the screams of annihilation ! ]

With a final surge of crackling energy, the transformation completes.

Forceriser: [ Breakdown ! ]

Amethyst stands tall in her Nevermore Assault form, her armor exuding a menacing, unstable energy.

The jagged, bird-like design of her helmet glows faintly, the crimson eyes piercing through the darkness.

She flexes her claws, her armor's energy conduits echoing in the air.

Amethyst: (smirking) "Let's paint the skies red."

Her mechanical wings spread wide, and with a powerful leap, she takes to the air, soaring above the battlefield.

The sound of her wings cutting through the air is accompanied by the haunting screech sending shockwaves rippling across the city below.

Akira watches her ascent, his expression resolute.

Akira: (to himself) "Soon, Atlas will kneel. Not to fear, but to the truth."

As the chaos unfolds, the camera pans upward, capturing Amethyst as a streak of crimson light against the night sky, her presence a harbinger of destruction yet to come.

Below, the Trilobite Magia advance steadily, their march relentless and unyielding.

The final shot focuses on Akira, standing amidst the storm of conflict, the Ark-Scorpion Progrisekey glowing ominously in his hand.

His voice echoes in the silence.

Akira: (quietly) "Everything is going accordingly 100% no 1000% perfectly and if going over the Data gather there should some type of Relic within the Academy."

[ Small Time Skip ]

Akira: (coldly, watching Amethyst disappear into the sky) "The storm begins now. They'll have no choice but to kneel."

As Amethyst vanishes, the chilling sound of her mechanical wings fades into the distance, leaving behind a tense silence.

Akira holds the Dodo Zetsumerisekey tightly, its faint red glow reflecting in his calculating eyes.

Akira: (to himself) "This world only respects strength. I'll show them the cost of defiance."

The Atlas Military gate looms before him. His strides are measured, purposeful.

Soldiers on patrol notice the intruder and immediately raise their weapons.

Soldier 1: "Halt! Identify yourself!"

Akira stops, his head tilting slightly, his gaze piercing.

Akira: (calmly) "Your weapons won't save you. Run, or be swept away."

The soldiers exchange uncertain glances before one of them steps forward, aiming his rifle.

Soldier 2: "Final warning! Stand down!"

Akira doesn't respond. Instead, he raises the Dodo Zetsumerisekey, pressing the Rise Starter.

Dodo Zetsumerisekey: [ Dodo ! ]

Red energy crackles around the key as Akira inserts it into the Rise Vice of his Forceriser.

The device hums to life with its harsh, industrial standby sound—a deafening siren underscored by rhythmic drumbeats.

The soldiers falter at the menacing sound, but before they can react further, Akira grips the Force Executor.

Akira: (firmly) "Henshin."

He pulls the lever, and the Progrisekey forcefully opens. A vortex of crimson electricity spirals outward, engulfing his body as the Force Factory initiates its process.

Forceriser: [ Forcerise ! ]

The Dodo armor begins to assemble. The Lazarotech undersuit materializes first, its dark, protective fabric clinging to Akira.

Metallic, feather-like plates shoot from the vortex, the Restraint Cables pulling them into place across his body.

Forceriser: [ Breakdown ! ]

The transformation completes with a resounding crackle of energy. Akira stands in his Dodo Armor, the avian-inspired design gleaming under the harsh lights of the academy's gates.

The glowing yellow of his Dodo Goggles cuts through the dimness, his menacing figure framed by the energy still sparking around him.

The soldiers, frozen in fear, hesitate before raising their weapons.

Soldier 1: "Open fire!"

Bullets ricochet harmlessly off Akira's armor. He doesn't flinch. Instead, he steps forward, his Discharge Feathers releasing a surge of lightning that dances along the ground, frying the soldiers' weapons and sending them sprawling.

Akira: (coldly) "You're in my way."

He raises his arm, the Strike Zapper on his armor's gauntlet charging with red energy.

A sharp motion sends a concentrated bolt of lightning toward the gate, obliterating it in a blinding explosion.

As the smoke clears, Akira steps through the ruins of the gate, his voice low and commanding.

Akira: "This is just the beginning."

Meanwhile, inside Atlas Academy, the sound of the explosion rumbles through the halls.

Weiss, Blake, Yang, Ruby, and the Ace-Ops pause mid-battle, exchanging worried glances.

Ruby: (panting) "What was that?"

Weiss: (alarmed) "It came from the main gate…"

Before they can react further, the comms crackle to life.

Penny (over comms): "Ruby! There's an intruder at the academy! They've breached the gates!"

Harriet: (glaring at Team RWBY) "What kind of stunt are you pulling now?!"

Yang: (defiantly) "It wasn't us!"

As the tension rises, another tremor shakes the building.

The distant sound of mechanized footsteps echoes through the halls—Trilobite Magia are advancing.

Ruby: (determined) "We need to stop this. Whatever's happening, it's bigger than just us."

Harriet: (hesitant but resolute) "Then let's finish this fight. Now."

The battle resumes with renewed urgency, even as the true storm begins to unfold outside.

Akira marches deeper into the academy, the faint glow of his armor casting an ominous light in the shadows.

Akira: (quietly) "Let the lightning cleanse this world of its weakness."

[ Atlas Academy ]

Elsewhere, Akira is moving through the academy halls, flanked by several Trilobite Magia.

Akira pauses, his voice cold and calculating.

Akira: "Spread out. Draw them in. I'll deal with the Lamp personally."

The Trilobite Magia scatter, Akira continues forward, his steps echoing ominously. He tightens his grip on the Attache Shotgun, its weight a comforting reminder of his power.

Back in the training room, Team JNR and Oscar are still reeling from their earlier fight with Neo. Jaune paces, his frustration boiling over.

Jaune: "First we lose the Lamp. Now there's someone else tearing the academy apart? How are we supposed to fix this?"

Ren, sitting on the floor, looks up with a tired expression.

Ren: "We regroup. Find Ruby and the others. We're stronger together."

Oscar shakes his head, frowning.

Oscar: "I don't think he's here to help us. He had a chance to work with us back there... and he almost killed Jaune before. He's dangerous."

Jaune stops pacing, turning to face Oscar.

Jaune: "Yeah, but dangerous might be what we need right now. If he's here, that means Neo's probably not far. We have to get the Lamp back."

Suddenly, a distant explosion shakes the walls, and the lights flicker. The group exchanges worried glances.

Nora: "Okay, that wasn't silver lining. That was bad."

Jaune readies his shield, and the group moves cautiously toward the source of the commotion.

As they turn a corner, they find a section of the wall scorched and smoking.

Standing in the wreckage is Akira, his Dodo Armor glowing faintly in the dim light.

The Attache Shotgun is resting on his shoulder, and his eyes lock onto the group.

Akira: "Still chasing after shadows, I see."

Jaune raises his shield defensively, stepping forward to confront him.

Jaune: "What are you doing here? If you're looking for another fight—"

Akira cuts him off, his tone icy.

Akira: "If I wanted a fight, you'd already be on the ground. I'm here for the Relic Stay out of my way."

Nora steps up beside Jaune, her hammer at the ready.

Nora: "You've got a funny way of asking for help, you know that?"

Ren places a hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down.

Ren: "We don't trust you. Not after what you did."

Akira tilts his head slightly, unfazed.

Akira: "Trust isn't required. Only results."

Oscar steps forward, clutching his cane tightly.

Oscar: "And what happens when you get the Relic? What are you really after?"

Akira stares at him for a moment before responding.

Akira: "Prevent the End all things and as they say The Ends justify the means besides this Salem has become a huge a problem for me."

The group looks at him in stunned silence, unsure whether to believe him. Before they can question him further, the sound of footsteps echoes down the hall.

Everyone turns to see Neo emerging from the shadows, a sly grin on her face. She spins Hush in her hand, the small tracker Akira planted now visible.

Neo twirls the umbrella mockingly before gesturing for them to bring it on. Akira steps forward, the Attache Shotgun glowing faintly.

Akira: "Stay out of this."

Jaune scoffs, gripping his sword.

Jaune: "Not a chance. She's not walking out of here with the Relic."

Akira doesn't argue. Instead, he inserts the Shooting Wolf Progrisekey into the Shotgun.

Attached Shotgun: [ Progrisekey confirmed. Ready to utilize. Werewolf's ability ! ]

Akira levels the weapon at Neo, the barrel glowing with energy.

Attached Shotgun: [ Shooting Kaban Shot ! ]

A massive, blue wolf-shaped energy blast surges from the shotgun, tearing down the hall toward Neo.

She flips backward, narrowly dodging the attack as it demolishes the wall behind her.

The group braces themselves against the shockwave, and the fight begins in earnest.

Akira: Guess things have become more interesting maybe I might need to use that...

[ MetsubouJinrai Hideout ]

The Ark has started looking at all the possibilities and has come up with more conclusions after looking at the data and paper records of the Ironwood

Ark: Now that I have become aware of Relics it self we should be able to take remaining Season Maidens Magic...

Ark: If all goes according to my simulations the full creation of a new Driver should be approaching.
