*(Y/N) POV*

James is still discussing with the Atlas council and Jackass. Penny and Winter stand behind him while Clover remains at his side. I meanwhile lean against the wall.

Councilwoman Camilla: "General, since you were appointed as Headmaster of Atlas Academy, there have been some people in our kingdom that are concerned about one man holding two council seats"

Ironwood: "Yes, which is exactly why we have checks and balances"

Councilman Sleet: "We're supposed to, but for a while now, you've been acting beyond them. Making your own decisions without discussing them with us first"

Ironwood: "Councilman, I never intended-"

Councilman Sleet: "What people intend and what they actually do are two separate matters, James"

(Y/N): "This isn't looking good..." I say under my nose. Then I notice a servant whispering something to Jacques, which makes him show a look of surprise before sending the servant away. "Is there something you want to share with us, Jacques?" Jacques takes a moment to compose himself

Jacques: "There is nothing else to discuss except the matter at hand, (Y/N). I agree with everything that was just said"

Robyn: "I'm not satisfied yet. You're afraid of something, General. Aren't you?"

Ironwood: "Of course I am, Miss Hill. I'm trying to prevent Atlas from becoming another Beacon, another Haven"

Robyn: "But then why not involve your fellow councilman? Working in secret? These are the actions of someone who is hiding something, General"

Ironwood: "I'm not hiding anything"

Robyn: "Then prove it, right here and now. You're all aware of my semblance. Let's put it to the test then. Here and now" she walks over to James and offers out her hand. We all watch, waiting for what James will do, until... The doors slams open and in walks Sam and Weiss

Weiss: "Wait! You've got the wrong man on trial!"

Sam: "We find out who is framing the General and who rigged the election. What's more, Jacques Schnee has been in cahoots with this man, for a long time it seems" Weiss puts down a scroll and shows... the image of Arthur Watts sitting with Jacques

(Y/N): "Watts...?"

Councilwoman Camilla: "Is that really... Arthur Watts?"

Councilman Sleet: "That's impossible! Arthur Watts died in the paladin incident years ago!"

Jacques: "W-W-What is this?"

(Y/N): "Now we are getting somewhere..." I walk near Sam and Weiss, while James stands up

Ironwood: "Play it" Weiss nods and plays the video

Jacques: "That bastard is costing me more money every day with this embargo. I'd lay off every worker in Mantle if I didn't need their damn votes to get this council seat!" he starts to sweat

Watts: "What if I said you could have your cake... and eat it too?"

Jacques: "What did you have in mind?"

Watts: "James Ironwood never recognized my genius. Even after I gave him everything, he still disgraced me. I simply wish to return the favor"

Jacques: "What's in it for me?" James starts to walk around the table

Watts: "A seat on the council. All I need is your login credentials to the Atlas network. You promised to make Ironwood's life a waking nightmare, and I will guarantee you a victory at the polls by giving the voters down in Mantle a... digital push, if you will"

Jacques: "I always knew you were a good scientist, Watts. But, I never knew you were such a good salesman" he starts laughing

Ironwood: "That's enough" We all glare at Jacques

Sam: "I knew a person like you could never win the election fair and square. And now we have a proof. Looks like you didn't have time to enjoy your council seat, Schnee" Jacques begins to panic

Jacques: "That, that is... I can explain" he jumps out of his seat "That... isn't real"

Councilman Sleet: "Jacques, take your seat"

Jacques freaks out and triest to make a run for it, only for my to dash in front of him and grab him by a collar

(Y/N): "And where do you think you're going, Jackass? Oh my, just like they say, wait and it will come to you" I get a devilish smirk on my face, before I look at Sam "Sam, get the others. Wouldn't we want for them to miss the show" Sam nods.

A while later everyone enters the room. I, James, Robyn, Winter, Clover and the councilmen aroind the chair Jacques is sitting on. Team RWBY and the rest of Team CRMS watches from the side

(Y/N): "I always knew you are a scum from the bottom of the bucket, Jacques" Clover steps aside, probably to answer a call

Ironwood: "I knew you'd stoop low to get what you wanted. But this?"

Jacques: "This is a great leap, James. (Y/N) or Elizabeth must be-"

(Y/N): "Shut up and be thankful General didn't let me get to you by now, Jackass!"

Ironwood: "Breath, (Y/N)" I calm down "Well, I believe it. Now we know what's been going on around here. Now, I know that Arthur Watts is alive. Working with a madman like Tyrian Callows. It would've been easy for him to coordinate a heinous attack like the one in that warehouse. Watts designed Mantle's entire security network. He used that access to hack into the surveillance system, and frame someone else for the job" we look at Penny, while Ruby stands be her for support "All while stealing an election"

(Y/N): "When you cheated your way to council, Watts gained access directly into Atlas' secure network. You just gave him a free way to the kingdom" I grab the chair Jacques is sitting "And later you tried to frame me and my mom into this saying we fabricated the evidence. *tsk* You really are a pathetic man, Jacques. You don't care how many lives you destroy, as long as you get what you want" I get closer to his face, as he starts sweating bullets

Robyn: "The people that died on that night. Their blood is on his hands"

Councilman Sleet: "Jacques Schnee must be tried. Not only for treason, but as an accessory to murder!"

(Y/N): "That's only the beginning of his list of sins, Councilman Sleet" I pull off the flash drive "You can add conspiracy to commit murder to the list"

Ironwood: "What's this (Y/N)?"

(Y/N): "A proof. Proof of this scum of a man true character" I connect the drive to my scroll and pull up images of emails, reports and money transactions "Some time ago, the Faunus working in SDC mines spoke out against the conditions in said mines. They demanded a rise in payment and at least something like gas masks. Of course Jacques Schnee refused and fired both of them. It took me and my team some time, but we finally found the evidence... of Jacques Schnee conspiring to murder of both Violet and Thomas Nightgrowl"

Councilwoman Camilla: "What?"

Jacques: "Now this is just ridiculous. I would never do such a thing!" I smirk

(Y/N): "Then why was all of this found on your home computer? Huh? As you all know, I have my fair share in IT, so hacking his terminal was even too easy. Please, look closer at those emails saying money has been transferred, and the targets were killed. Normally, that would be enough, but..." I pull up a picture with the dead body of Thomas, Alice's dad with his wife lying on top of him. This image horrifies everyone "You wanted proof of them dead. And later you kept them as trophies. You just couldn't resist, could you? You never liked when someone stood up to you, let it be my mother or some of your workers" I get near his face "Have you planned to kill her too, you fucking psycho? Oh, wait, you couldn't paid the police later. She is too important person to our kingdom, not, like you would say 'a dirty animal' working in your mines" I get back away "There was only one thing you didn't expect. They had a daughter. Daughter which childhood was destroyed by you" I shut my scroll and give it to the councilmen "I made a copy of it. There's more than enough to put him in jail for life" Mako steps up

Mako: "Do you know how many nights it took for her to finally stop having nightmares? How much money did my family pay for her psychological therapy from the trauma you gave her? She was barely surviving on Atlas' streets alone. You took EVERYTHING from her!"

Jacques: "What are you-"

Mako: "Alice Nightgrowl is my adoptive sister, you monster. And I'm here to take revenge for her" he grabs Jacques by the shirt and punches him in the face.

Mako then throws him to the ground and pins him to it, throwing punch after punch to Jacques' face. We just sit and watch, through the councilmen are disturbed by the sight. Mako finally loses it and starts beating Jacques senseless. After a few punches I get him off Jacques

(Y/N): "Mako, I think that's enough. Let him rot in the jail for the rest of his pathetic life" I look at bloodied Jacques "You will die slowly. I won't let Mako free you from your punishment" Jacques sits up

Jacques: "You saw that... You all saw that!" I grab him by the collar and throw him into the chair before smirking

(Y/N): "I didn't saw anything. How about you guys?"

Sam: "I saw nothing"

Ryze: "Did something even happen?" Jacques looks around but everyone just glares at him

(Y/N): "I told you, you will pay for your crimes. I told you when the time comes, you will be alone and no one will help you. Just like now" I look at Ironwood and he nods "Jacques Schnee, in the name of the Kingdom of Atlas, you are under arrest for treason, accessory to murder and conspiring to murder of Violet and Thomas Nightgrowl. You have the right to remain silent" I turn to James again "General, is there any way to get Watts off our network?"

Ironwood: "No... And with enough time, he can do whatever he wants"

(Y/N): "Crap... maybe mom can do..." just then my, the councilmen and James' scrolls ring. I get it out to see a message from mom:

'Mom: (Y/N)! Something happened! The heat is off in Mantle. If you're near James, tell him that as soon as possible!'

(Y/N): "Double crap" Before I can say anything, Councilman Sleet shouts

Councilman Sleet: "What? Wait, what? What do you mean the heating grid has gone off?!"

Jacques: "You have to believe me, I didn't know he was planning this" Winter gets near his chair and slams her fists on the armrest

Winter: "You are going to shut your mouth and get the heating grid up and running again"

Jacques: "I can't. I've been informed that the system... has been blocked off"

Councilman Sleet: "Without heat down there..."

(Y/N): "The people of Mantle will die" I turn to Jacques "You just gave yourself another life sentence in jail, Schnee" I turn back to James "General, I assume you know what will happen next. Mantle will become a rioting battlefield, again" James sighs and checks his scroll

Ruby: "General Ironwood? How bad is it?"

Ironwood: "He's using Jacques' credentials. We can follow that activity on the network. If he's found his way into the Amity system... no, no, the secret is safe. But, if he learns about Amity, SHE learns about Amity" he walks by Robyn

Weiss: "Can we block his access? Aunt Elly for sure-"

Ironwood: "I'm afraid even Elizabeth can't do much now. Watts is locking us out of the system. Pretty soon, we won't be able to get in at all"

Blake: "Can we trace him somehow?"

Ironwood: "He's going to be mobile. He won't be in one place at a time. If we're going to get his access point, then we need to get him out in the open"

Robyn: "Okay, so let me get this straight" she gets our attention "Yeah, don't forget about me, people. How exactly do a disgraced scientist and a disappeared serial killer start working together? Why would they target you? And why are you working so hard to keep the Amity communications tower from them?" James gets surprised

Ironwood: "You know?"

Robyn: "I used to think that you were hiding something to protect yourself. But I can see that I was wrong. You're not trying to protect yourself; you're trying to protect Atlas, Mantle, even all of Remnant. And you're afraid of what might happen if you tell the truth" Then, Clover and Oscar storm into the room

Clover: "General, the Grimm are all over Mantle. The air fleet's doing everything they can to take out the Grimm outside the city, but some are already inside. They can't target those Grimm without risking civilian casualties"

Ironwood: "This... this is what I was afraid would happen"

Clover: "Sir, we need ground support now"

Robyn: "What we need is to start evacuating Mantle. If it's overrun by the Grimm, then no one will be safe there. We can use the fleet to-"

Ironwood: "If I move the fleet, then Atlas will be vulnerable!" he walks away "his is exactly what I was afraid of" he holds his head and places a hand on the wall "I wanted to keep our home safe, and now it's all falling apart" I nudge Oscar and nod to James. Oscar nods and steps forward

Oscar: "General? Once before, you asked me for advice"

Ironwood: "I was hoping for advice from Ozpin"

Oscar: "And he most likely would've told you to keep your secrets. But, you already knew that that wouldn't work anymore. You came up with a new plan"

Ironwood: "That plan won't work now. I don't know what to do"

Oscar: "The panic you were worried about has already arrived. The secrets you're keeping are about to be revealed anyway. It's time, General. Tell the truth"

Ruby: "You're not alone"

(Y/N): "You're forgetting one crucial variable in all of this, James"

Ironwood: "What would that be?"

(Y/N): "Take a look around" I gesture to everyone "One man can't make an army. You have allies here. You have friends. Lean on them. One person can't handle all of this by yourself. But together, WE can" James looks around as we all nod. He later nods too smiles

Ironwood: "Thank you. All of you. Oscar, I think it's time you get back to the academy"

Oscar: "I think you're right"

Ironwood: "Councilman Skeet, Councilwoman Camilla, Miss Hill, there are some things you need to know about. Let's go and save Mantle. Together"

Winter: "I've called a transport for us" she holds up her scroll

Yang: "What about Watts and Tyrian?"

Ironwood: "You leave them to me. Right now, the most good you can do will be down below, helping the people of Mantle"

(Y/N): "Break is over, ladies and gents. Let's do what we do best. Kick ass and save lives"

Ruby: "All of us" everyone looks at Penny

(Y/N): "You too, Carrot Top" I smile at Penny and she nods

Clover: "What they said. Let's make it happen, Huntsman"

We all rush out of the room. Heading out the front door, me and Ruby stop Oscar

Ruby: "Oscar?"

(Y/N): "Pine, wait!"

Ruby and (Y/N): "We-"

Oscar: "I- Oh, you two first"

Ruby: "Sorry"

(Y/N): "You two can't be more awkward, do you?" Ruby pinched my arm "Ow"

Ruby: "Be quiet Cookie. Oscar... We think we should tell Ironwood"

(Y/N): "I'm still not a fan of it, I just hope he takes it well"

Oscar: "I think you two are right. You guys are needed elsewhere. I'll take care of telling him"

Marrow: "Ruby! (Y/N)! Transport's leaving" Ruby puts her hands up in defence

(Y/N): "Good luck, Oscar" Me and Ruby run off and soon, Team RWBY, Team CRMS, Team JNP, Qrow and the Ace Ops fly towards Mantle in a Manta airship, piloted by Harriet. Clover looks out the windshield before turning around and addressing us

Clover: "Alright team, I need to stress to our new Huntsmen and Huntresses that our mission priority is rescuing civilians, not killing Grimm. Got it?" we all nod in agreement. Suddenly a Grimm lands on the front of the airship and roars at us

Sam: "Teryx..." Marrow turns to us

Marrow: "Hang on!"

Harriet starts to make maneuvers, trying to knock the Teryx off. Jaune in the meanwhile tries to hold a vomit

Ryze: "Come on Vomit Boy. Don't barf in here"

Grimm stays on, moving to the side and slicing into the hull with its claws, almost getting Yang and Blake

Harriet: "This damn thing won't come off!"

Then a second Teryx probably crashes into the wing, as all we can hear is engine explosion

Marrow: "I don't think we're staying airbourne"

Qrow: "It's time to go"

Clover: "You have your mission assignments. Let's go!" He punches the door and it opens, revealing the Grimm, who screeches at us. Later that Teryx gets hit in the face with a piece of damaged wing. Jaune, Ren, Weiss, Sam and Nora jump out

Elm: "Harriet, don't stay too long"

Harriet: "Yeah, thanks for the tip"

Marrow, Mako, Ryze, Yang and Blake jump out. Elm and Clover claps hands before she swings her way out. I turn to Ruby

(Y/N): "See you down there, Petals. Good luck" she kiss me on the cheek

Ruby: "Be safe Cookie" I gave her a salut and jump down

(Y/N): "Yahoo! Here I go killing Grimm again!"

*3rd POV*

Meanwhile, as Jacques Schnee is taken into custody, a female servant starts skipping away without anyone noticing. She enters a building in the city, entering a room with a large window showing the kingdom of Atlas with the shattered moon behind it.

???: "Took you long enough"

Cinder: "Don't be like that, Tick. She came back faster than I expected" Girl rolls her eyes "Tell me you found what we've been looking for"

The girl changes form, revealing herself to be Neo in disguise thanks to her semblance. Neo looks like she's thinking for a moment before she smirks with a flick of her hat. Tick chuckles

Tick: "Well then, I think it's about we start the show" she walks past them and to the window" I will get you this time, Grimm Reaper"

*Mantle*

Mantle is in chaos. Grimm swarm the skies and run through the streets, with more coming from outside the broken walls. In the air, Atlas military airships fight against Grimm dragons and Manticores while soldiers and robots fight against Goliaths and Sabres on the ground in the streets. Civilians run in panic to safety while the soldiers try to protect them, but they find themselves outnumbered and outgunned. A pack of Sabres race in from the broken hole in the wall behind the Goliaths and split off, quickly finding a few civilians trying to hide from them. Thankfully Mako quickly comes to their rescue, dropping from the air and smashing his fist into one Sabre before smashing the second's one skull with his mace. A third jumps up from behind, but he turns around and impales his mace's spikes into its skull.

Mako: "Everyone alright?" he turns to civilians and they nod "Don't worry, we will protect you" Weiss and Nora join him, just as more Grimm appear

Down another street, Blake races through the streets as a Goliath and a pack of Ursai chase her. She runs around one corner, and just as the Grimm run by, Ryze jumps in, skewering the head of one Ursa and drawing the attention of the other two while the Goliath continues to chase Blake. Ryze fires a round into the Grimm, trying to kill it, before the second Ursa swings its claws at him. He jumps into the air and switches his weapons back to blade mode, sending a wind ball into Ursa's skull and later into the ground, killing it. He looks back to see Blake still running away from Goliath and gives chase. Blake keeps running until she sees Elm ahead of her. She races past her, while Elm uses her semblance to hold her ground and smashes her fists into the Goliath's skull, stopping its advance

Blake: "Now!"

Yang runs by and slides under the Goliath while hitting it with some of her timer rounds. Elm throws the Goliath into the air and Yang pulls the trigger, causing a massive explosion that kills the Grimm. The three take a few breaths, but Yang sees a Manticore Grimm fly towards them. However, the Grimm suddenly stops and smashes into the ground. They look back to see Ryze using Guardian's powers to create a wind force on top of Grimm, keeping it in place. He later gets near the Grimm and using both his blades beheads it, with a satisfied smile

Ryze: "I always wanted to behead a Goliath" Blake looks to some civilians hiding behind a car

Blake: "Get to the shelter, now!" They do what she asked

Ryze: "Not to be a pessimist, but those shelters wont hold on against the Grimm for long"

Yang: "Not saying that they are gonna fill up soon"

Elm: "They're all we've got right now. We just have to hold the Grimm off until they can be safely evacuated"

Just then they see blue fire sprouting from another street behind some buildings a few blocks away. In another area, (Y/N) walks down the street as some civilians follow him. He got his scythe out and ready, while a pack of Sabrys turns the corner and charges at him

(Y/N): "Stay back. Ignition!"

(Y/N) gets enveloped in blue fire, only to soon send a flame stream, killing the Sabrys. However a few Goliaths take their place. (Y/N) turns the ignition down and closes his eyes. Soon he opens them, as white light fills the street. Goliaths turn to stone, only to soon scatter into dust. He turns to the civilians.

(Y/N): "Stay close to me and nothing will happen to any of you. I promise " they move on

'Damn, those Grimm just keeps coming and coming' he then feels a tug on his sleeve. He looks down to see a little girl

Girl: "Mr. Huntsmen. Can you... do that fire thing again? I'm cold"

(Y/N): "I'm very sorry, but I can't. I know all of you are cold, scared and stressed, but I need to make sure all of you are safe. Which I cannot do acting as a fireplace. There should be one when we get to the shelter. Just stay calm"

Meanwhile at one section of the wall, Sam and Nora are defending a large group of civilians that are pinned between the wall and the city full of Grimm. They see red lights come on and sirens going off, which only make the people more fearful"

Woman: "Please, take us to Atlas!"

Male Faunus: "Please, we won't last long down here. Why won't Ironwood help us?!"

Sam: "Everyone! We will get you to safety, but you must stay calm and give us a little more time!"

However, his voice seems to fall on deaf ears. Just then, a large screen comes online on the wall behind them, showing Robyn

Robyn: "Atlas, Mantle, I know you're scared... I am here now with General Ironwood and we have a message for you all" she shows herself standing together with Ironwood, their hands together and her semblance showing that what they will say is the truth "What he has to say may seem like a fantasy, but it is all true"

Ironwood: "An ancient and terrible evil lies right outside the walls of our kingdom, our home. This very evil is responsible for the Fall of Beacon, the attack on Haven, and even the recent attacks and chaos that are now plaguing Mantle. This dark, powerful force is known... as Salem..."

In one part of town, Ruby and Harriet double-team a Sabre as the broadcast goes on. Ruby smiles

Ruby: "He's telling them the truth"

In another part of tow, Ryze flies through the air, slicing the right wind off of Nevermore, before diving to the ground to slice a Beowolf in half before it could kill a civilian

Ironwood: "Salem's goal is to divide humanity. To have us do her dirty work for her by making us destroy ourselves and each other" Ren fires his pistols at one Sabre while Jaune knocks a second back with his shield before slicing through it with his sword "If she can incite hatred in us, we will lure in the Grimm, and destroy ourselves"

More Sabres prepare to attack the fleeing civilians, but Vine uses his semblance to create extra-long arms to stop the Sabres and then force them against buildings on the sides of the street. Ryze throws his blade as they spin in the air before impaling in the Grimm skulls

Ryze: "Everyone! Follow us! We will escort you to safety!"

Robyn: "Salem does not work alone. Her minions have already infiltrated our home"

Ironwood: "Arthur Watts. And Tyrian Callows. These men are the ones responsible for the recent murders in Mantle, and for sabotaging the heating grid" People watch the screens "However, we must not allow ourselves to give in to fear and panic. That is precisely what Salem wants! Instead, we must unite, and fight back, together. Every single one of us!"

Jaune: "Alright, single file line! Place a hand on the shoulder in front of you, eyes forward, move, move, move!"

As he issues his commands, the citizens look back at him and then begin following his instructions. A pair of small children stand in front of Jaune, who kneels down and gives them a thumbs up and a grin

Jaune: "Show them how it's done, kids!"

The child in a red coat salutes him. The two kids then turn on their heels, the kid in the red coat placing their hand on the other child's shoulder. They then begin marching with serious expressions on their faces

Ryze: "Easy there, Mr. Crossing Guard"

Vine: "Where did you learn to do that?" Jaune gets up

Jaune: "Uh, morning school route?"

Jaune places his hand on Ren's shoulder, and they both close their eyes and concentrate. Ren uses his semblance, which Jaune amplifies, allowing it to conceal the civilians' emotions. The two children grin while they lead the line of scared adults. Ryze meanwhile goes in the air, overlooking the whole evacuation

Ironwood: "This, my friends, is why I was forced to divert resources from Mantle. The Amity Communications Tower. The tower is now complete and is ready to launch"

Meanwhile (Y/N) slices a Beowolf clean in half with his scythe on orange flame as more civilians are escorted to safety. He puts the fire down and holds Mortem in his left hand, using it as a cane. He smiles at General's words

(Y/N): "About damn time!" he turns into an orange living torch, before hearing more Beowolf's growls "Come at me you overgrown mutts!"

Ironwood: "Because of the immediate threat to the people of Mantle, the council and I have decided to evacuate everyone in Mantle to Atlas. I am withdrawing all defenses from Amity to assist with the evacuation efforts in Mantle and repelling the Grimm threat"

Robyn: "We must put aside our differences and work together to defeat this common enemy. I support General Ironwood's plan and will fight with him to save all of us. Not just those in Mantle, but those in Atlas as well. For everyone!"

Their words cause the people to cheer for hope rather than cower in fear. Those looking out for them feel the change in the air and the negativity dropping

Robyn: "If you've made it to your local shelter, stay put. Help is on the way. For those of you in Sector 17, I'll be seeing you personally"

*timeskip, (Y/N) POV*

Soon the airships arrive and we can finally evacuate the city. I stand guard as civilians board.

(Y/N): "We will get you all out of this hell. Come on people! Move!" I then hear some noise. I turn to its source and see three Goliaths charging at the ship "Sorry, but I don't think you have invitations'' I get Mortem on its mobile form before closing my eyes and using them to kill the Grimm again "Hey, it's getting easier with every time. Grandma was right to train them" I look around to see everyone has been loaded. I call one of the pilots "You're good here?!" he gives me a thumbs up "Then I'll move to the next Landing Zone! Get them out!" I look up to see a green light coming through the air and run after it "I will be there soon, sis"

After some running I find Ruby and Harriet escorting a group of civilians to the next landing zone. However, before I can say or report anything, the ground shakes. We look over, just to see a Megoliath turn around the corner

(Y/N): "Great..."

The Megoliath charges at the girls, but Penny suddenly flies in and fires her energy beams to stop its advance. Harriet nods to Ruby and races ahead to help Penny. Ruby takes a deep breath and closes her eyes

'Come on Petals. I know you can!'

However, before she could turn the Grimm into stone, a roar disturbs her. I then get near her

Ruby: "Ugh! I was so close!" she whines "Why don't you use your eyes, Cookie?"

(Y/N): "You were close, but remember what grandma Maria said. We can't rely only on our eyes" I smile "That's why I mix it a little. Now, let's do things the traditional way!" I race forward to the fray.

I jump into the air with my fist in fire. I throw a right cross onto the Grimm's face, stunning it. Ruby nods and uses her semblance to fly to the rooftop of one building. She takes a sniping position and fires off a few shots. Harriet races around the Grimm's legs, dealing a few punches to try and knock it off balance while Penny attacks with her blades in the air. I fire off a few fireballs at the front, but all of our attacks don't do much to this giant

(Y/N): "Fine. I guess I have no choice now..." Just as I was about to concentrate, Grimm tugs on Penny's strings and later uses its tusks to throw her away "Penny!" I turn to the Grimm "Now I'm angry!" I rush it with Mortem on fire.

Harriet races around the Megoliath's legs, but she gets knocked down to the ground by one of them. Just as she gets back on her feet, the Megoliath attempts to crush her under its foot. Seeing this, I come and hold the foot with my scythe

(Y/N): "Hey Hare. Try not to get killed before we save our Kingdom" I smirk before grabbing her and jumping out of the way. However we get knocked by Grimm's long tusks. Ruby and Penny get near me

Penny: "Those tusk sure seem tough"

(Y/N): "Yeah. You okay, little sis?" Penny nods "Good" Ruby smiles

Ruby: "Glad you two are alright, because I have an idea"

(Y/N): "I'm afraid to ask. But, go ahead, Petals" I smile

Harriet races around the Grimm's legs again, trying to keep its attention away from the civilians, and it's working. Penny comes in and fires off a blast to the side of the Grimm's face

Penny: "Over here, you big bag of bones!"

The Megoliath roars and charges at her. Penny spins her swords around and fires a mega blast of energy at the Grimm. It holds it back a bit, but the Megoliath slowly pushes forth through it. Penny has a few of her swords fire another energy beam at its right tusk, heating it up. When the Grimm gets close, Ruby gives the signal

Ruby: "Now!"

Penny lets off her attack, and Ruby flies in to wrap her scythe around the heated section of the tusk and pulls the trigger. This causes the tusk to break off into the air. I jump up and grab the tusk, throwing it at the Grimm and stabbing its head with the sharp end of the tusk. I later put my hand on fire and later on immobilized Grimm to burn it as it slowly scatters into dust. With the Grimm eliminated, the sirens stop going off and the civilians come out of hiding. They look at us and cheer

Civilian: "They saved us. The Protector of Mantle and her friends saved us!"

(Y/N): "And with that we repaired your PR, Carrot Top" I ruffle Penny's hair and she smiles and giggles

Penny: "(Y/N)! Stop that!"

(Y/N): "I'm just glad my little sister is clean of any accusations" I get near Ruby, putting down Mortem back on its place "It's a nice display, ain't it, Petals?"

Ruby: "Yeah" we hug sideways, watching people cheer for Penny, with smiles on our faces. We then hear the rest of our teams in the radio

Yang: "Just sent the ship up. Heading to the next LZ" Penny turns to us. Ruby smiles at her while I give her a thumbs up

Sam: "Our ship is away"

Jaune: "Same here"

Penny: "Ms. Hill, the southern outskirts are clear. Is should be safe to begin evacuations now"

(Y/N): "Okay, we still have civilians to evacuate. Let's move!" Ruby and Penny nods and we run to the next LZ

A/N: We are slowly coming to an end of Volume 7. After that, Volume 8 will arrive during the hiatus (about 2-3 chapters) and the rest will be here after Volume 8 of RWBY ends.... and after that we will wait another half a year for Volume 9...

Anyway, feel free to comment and vote. Stay safe and I will see you in the next chapter!

Punkie out!

RWBY belong to Rooster Teeth

OCs belongs to me

(Y/N) belongs to you
