The air is filled with Atlasian Airships, but one of them attacked other ships. Roman was laughing about the chaos that was happening below him. But he wasn't alone, though. There was Sangria, Neo's replacement, as well who was disguised as Neo to fool Roman. While they were looking down at Vale, a loud thud could be heard above them.

"*Sigh* Go see what that is," said Roman in a slightly annoyed tone.

The fake Neo nodded and made her way out of the command room.

Meanwhile, Ruby just landed on the rogue Atlasian ship thanks to the help of her locker. She looked around the deck, only to see a giant Grimm dragon and countless Griffons and Nevermores flying past her and towards Beacon. Then, she heard a screech above her. When she looked up, she saw that a Griffon was about to land on her, but she quickly dodged it.

She then proceeded to uppercut it with her scythe, followed up by a couple of swings, sending the beast backwards. Ruby then sprinted towards the Grimm and started to attack it. At one point, the Grimm tried to attack Ruby as well, but she delivered the final blow to the Griffon.

What Ruby wasn't aware of is the fake Neo behind her. When Ruby turns around, she saw the fake Neo holding a Scroll and take a picture of her while changing from the atlasian outfit thanks to her illusion semblance.

Meanwhile with Roman, he just obtained a message from Neo, showing the image of Ruby with a message that said 'Guess who?'

"Oh, you cannot be serious," said Roman as he grabs the Scroll from the holder and started walking towards them.

While Roman makes his way towards the two, Ruby and the impostor where fighting against each other, but the fake Neo was dodging her attacks with ease. After a while, Neo did a couple of back flips to gain some distance. Ruby then used her scythes' sniper mode to shoot at Neo.

When Neo stood still and when Ruby got a clear shot on her, she took it and Neo shattered into peaces of glass and revealing Roman behind her. A red glowing bullet got shot out of his cane and shot it towards Ruby. The bullet was about to hit Ruby, but someone landed in front of her and used an umbrella to stop the bullet, causing a thin screen of smoke to appear.

"What!?" Said Roman in shock.

When the smoke started to clear up, it revealed that Neo had black the bullet to protect Ruby.

"Neo?" Ruby asked, clearly confused.

Neo turns around to face, but all that she did was smile and give her a wink.

"Neo, what are you doing protecting our enemy!?" said Roman in an angry tone.

Neo closes her umbrella and pointed it towards the fake Neo that was behind Roman. He turns around and saw what the original was pointing at the faker.

"I'm surprised that you're still alive without his help, Neo. Let alone, come up here," said the fake Neo, surprising everyone.

"Who are you?" Roman asked as he points his cane to the fake Neo.

She started to chuckle as her appearance started to chance. She chanced from Neo's pink and brown hair into long, blood red hair. Her eyes changed into dark grey eyes, and her clothes changed into a black and red fighting dress.

"Name's Sangria. I was sent by Cinder to replace that dwarf over there and to make sure that you did your part," said Sangria.

"To keep an eye on him? What are you talking about?" Ruby asked as she points her scythe towards Sangria.

"Quite easy, little red ridding hood. Cinder didn't trust him, so she decided to hire me to replace the dwarf and to keep an eye on him," Sangria explained.

At this point, Neo was pissed off that Sangria kept calling her a dwarf, but when she was about to attack her, a Griffon Grimm landed behind Ruby, Neo and Roman.

"Well, it looks like you guys have your hands full, so I'll get going now. Ta-ta," she said as she disappeared into dust.

The trio focused on dodging the Grimm, but Neo quickly signed something to Roman.

"A truce with red? I can live with that. Red, try to lure the big bird to crash into the ship!" Roman shouted.

"Got it!" said Ruby as she guided the griffon towards the hull of the ship.

The Griffon leaps towards Ruby, but she used the sniper function to jump over the griffin, causing it to crass into the ship. When Ruby landed, the ship started to shake furiously.

The ship started to shake so violently, that Ruby lost her balance as the ship started to decent fast. Ruby fell off of the ship, but with the help of her scythe, she managed to slow down her decent with constantly shooting to the ground.

-Streets of Vale-

Qrow and Glynda are in the city, defending the citizens from the robots and Grimms alike. While they were fighting, two atlas robots took their aim behind them. But when they were about to shoot, their heads got blown off.

Qrow and Glynda look towards the source of the gunshot, revealing a very damaged James Ironwood. His skin is ripped apart, revealing all his mechanical body parts. He was surrounded with Atlas Robots, but he shoots every one of them. Once the last one is down, he started to talk to them.

"This area is secure. We need to-"

He got cut of my Qrow deploying the scythe mode on his gun. Once it's done transforming, he struck the blade in front of him.

"Qrow, this isn't my doing," James said, a bit scared.

Qrow then started to drag the blade behind him and run up to James, while James took a defensive stand. Before he reached James, he jumped, ignoring James completely and focused on what was behind him. As James followed Qrow with his eyes, he saw that a Griffon was about to pounce him, but Qrow cut the best in half.

"You idiot. I know you didn't do this," said Qrow as he turns to face James.

James shook his head in disbelieve, while Glynda walk over to him and puts a hand on his shoulder.

Suddenly another three Griffons appeared behind the group. All of them were prepared to attack back, but before the griffons could take one step forward, they got shot by, what looked like, light arrows.

"Consider yourself lucky that we're fighting for the same cause, or else I would've done the same to you, Qrow," said a winged figure on a nearby roof.

The mystery figure jumped down to the group, using his wings to glide down.

"Apollyon! Thank you for being here to help us," said Glynda.

"You know him?" Qrow asked.

"Yes, this is (F/n)'s brother," she explained.

"Of course he is. So, what now, general?" Qrow asked.

"Someone's done the impossible and gained control of my machines, and that enormous Grimm seams fixated on the school. Glynda, form up with the local huntsmen and establish a safe zone here, we need to evacuate Beacon. Qrow, I'll leave that to you and my men. I still need to get to my ship," said James.

"I don't think that won't be necessary, James," said Apollyon, pointing towards the sky.

The group looks where Apollyon was pointing and saw the rouge Atlas ship crashing to the ground.

"I'll go around and send my armies to exterminate the remaining Grimms. You three, try not to get killed," said Apollyon as he took off into the sky.
