The mission started as usual with the emblems of Beacon and A.M.C spinning around for a few seconds before moving aside to show the audience the location of the facility in Menagerie where Yang and her squad recently made their way into.

A square pointed at the location of the facility and there was something written on it's left.

Nuclear Launch Detected

"Saying that this is is bad would be a gentle way of putting it." Ghira stated.

"At least they already made into the facility that Yang mentioned earlier. All they need to do is just find a way to the control room or something like that." Summer pointed out.

It was just seconds before two missiles were shown flying upwards. The camera moved itself away from the map and followed the missiles. It focused it's attention on the two missiles, before showing the audience everything they needed to know about them.

It lasted several seconds until the camera moved away from the missiles and showed the audience what appeared to be Atlas' East Cost, because it was apparently where the missiles were heading. The number of how many lives would be lost if the missiles would end up hitting the East was slowly calculated and the audience couldn't believe their eyes when they saw it.

41,096,749

Sun's eyes widened after seeing the number of casualties, him being just one of the many ones disturbed by this number. He was the first one to say something, "How many?"

"This is worse than I thought..." Winter said, her eyes slowly widening in shock. The number of casualties was much bigger than she excepted.

"This is just wrong on so many levels." Pyrrha stated, shaking her head.

"And all of it caused by the death of a single person..." Fox said.

Tyrian chuckled in his usual creepy way, looking forward to see where this was going, "This is going to be very entertaining."

It was when the camera moved across the map back to the location where Ruby and her squad found themselves in the last mission.

A few seconds later, Ruby was shown running forward herself in the direction of the facility, with her M4A1 in ready as Command explained, "Bravo Six, we're still working with the Menagerians to get the launch codes. We should have them shortly. Keep moving. Out."

"You better get them fast, just like you said." Yang said to which many people in the audience nodded in agreement.

"I can already tell that it's not going to be easy." Coco said, crossing her arms.

"It'll surely last a while." Emerald agreed with her.

"Go! Go! Go!" Yang shouted, running along with her squad.

It was quickly followed by the sniper team assuring, "Bravo Six, Sniper Team Two is now in position. We'll give ya sniper cover and recon from where we are, over."

Ruby saw Arem was taking cover behind one of the containers a few meters ahead of her. He readied his Stinger and quickly leaned out of his cover before firing it at the helicopter flying in the distance. One second later, the aircraft exploded into pieces.

"Copy! Keep us posted! Out!" Yang answered as Ruby ran through the massive hole in the fence into a place with several containers around.

The first thing she did was killing one White Fang soldier running into the street in front of the container filled place as Sniper Team spoke up again to them, "This is Sniper Team Two. You've got hostiles and light armor coming to you from the north. Suggest you get some C4 or find some heavy weapons, over."

She took a quick cover behind a blue container as one enemy fired at her from his cover. She remained in her cover for a few seconds before quickly leaning out of it and taking out her enemy as quickly as his head appeared in her view. There was more of them out there and she knew it. She was about to start making her way forward herself but had to hide herself behind her cover again.

"Throw some smoke!" She heard her sister yell.

She quickly did as she told to, followed Weiss, Ciel, Barton, Arem, simply everyone that was with her here at this moment. The smoke overcame most of the area in front of her and she knew it was her chance. She finally moved forward and took care of every enemy that happened to be standing in her, but when she was about to step into the street, another problem appeared.

She saw a BMP moving along the street, firing at every enemy it's spotted. It kept them pinned down behind the containers and Arem wasn't afraid to voice his thoughts, "That armor is killing us! Use your C4!"

It was when an idea popped into Ruby's mind. She waited until the BMP would be close to her and threw another smoke grenade which exploded seconds after, blinding the BMP's vision. She quickly moved towards it and planted a C4 on it before moving into a hangar in front of her. She pulled out a detonator and pressed it. The BMP exploded shorty after.

"That was actually really sneaky and impressive." Port stated, impressed by it.

"I agree." Oobleck agreed with him, giving a quick nod of his head.

"Bravo Six, this is command, gimme a sit-rep, over." Command said as Ruby ran out of the hangar to see that the rest of her squad already made their way into the street and pushed further in the facility.

"We're inside the perimeter, approaching the gates to the silos! Out!" Yang explained.

Ruby decided to move in other direction than the rest of her squad did. She spotted a pathway between the hangar and two containers which would take her straight to the gate. She decided to take this path after a quick thinking about it for a few seconds. She quickly spotted an enemy firing at the rest from the balcony from the two floor building and she was quickly got rid of him.

She noticed another enemies firing at her squad from the same building, only this ones were firing from the roof. It didn't matter to her from which location they were firing from. She had some troubles with them because when she was about to take them down, they crouched down in front of the fence-like thingy on the balcony. Unfortunely for them, they didn't survive another attempt as Ruby made sure to quickly take them down before they'll crouch down again.

She moved forward a bit, hearing Ciel say to her sister, "We're gonna need more ground support!"

She didn't had to wait long for Yang to reply, "Already got it covered Soleil!"

She stopped next to the brown container and saw a single faunus leaning against the wall, using it as some sort of cover from her squad. She then spotted another one running out of alley behind the two floor building. She took him down with a single shot to his head, but it wasn't over, more of them came running from the alley and Ruby actually had to reload her weapon if she wanted to take out all of them.

"Jeez, how many of them are there?" Neo asked.

"How big is that alley?" Mercury asked shorty after.

"To be honest, they could always come out of the back doors of that building." Ilia pointed out.

It took her a while but she eventually managed to kill every enemy that rushed out from that alley. She took a cover behind the brown container and took a quick glance at how enemies were left to protect the gate. There wasn't many left, just like she excepted. She saw three faunus on the balcony where she took out a single faunus just a moment earlier. 

Making sure that they're not going to cause more trouble to her and her squad actually went worse than she excepted. One of them had an RPG and she didn't actually took him out in time. He fired the RPG rocket and received a bullet to the head shorty after but it didn't change the fact that he managed to fire a rocket before his death. The rocket hit the ground close to Ruby and she had to take a cover behind the container again for a second, before her ears started ringing.

When she could hear normally again, she leaned out of her cover again and saw that her squad managed to get rid of the guys on the balcony without her help.

"Cover me! I'm gonna blow the gate!" Arem declared as he pushed himself into run. She saw how he ran past her and approached the gate. He kneeled down in front of the gate and quickly planted charges on it. He turned away from the gate and started moving away from it, "Charges set! Get back get back! Fire in the hole!"

The charge exploded shorty after, blowing the gate open which was followed by Yang shouting, "Through the gate! Let's go!"

Ruby, Weiss, Ciel, Arem, Barton and the others quickly responded to her order and ran through the now opened gate, entering the facility's launch grounds.

They didn't got much time to catch a breath after struggling to get to this position because two more BMP's appeared in their sight, and Ciel was quick to confirm this, "More BMPs! Take cover!"

"Ruby! Soleil! Knock 'em out! GO!" Yang ordered quickly after hearing Ciel's words.

Ruby nodded her head to her sisters words and towards the closest BMP, coming across a place with several weapon and boxes laying on the ground. Most of them didn't got her attention. The only weapon that managed to get her attention was an RPG rocket launcher.

She switched her M4A1 to a pistol and then switched it to an RPG, leaving the pistol on the ground. 

"At least It'll be safer if she'll use this than a just running up to it to plant a charge." Velvet stated.

Coco nodded her head to that, "Yup."

Ruby passed by a destroyed truck and saw one the BMP's driving along the road. She didn't wait long. She made sure to aim the RPG at it and fired. The BMP noticed her but it was already too late. A single rocket was enough to take it down.

"Good shootin' there, Little Red!" Weiss said to Ruby.

Ruby loaded another rocket and switched it back to her M4A1. At first she had to make her way to another BMP. She ran back into the place where got her RPG from but didn't stay there even for a second. She then turned to the right and ran past Arem and Barton who were covering themselves from the enemy fire behind a truck. 

She spotted the second BMP in the distance and she made sure to make her way towards it as fast as she could, moving past an opened massive hole in the ground from which smoke was coming out. Ruby had no idea what would happen if she fell in there, and she honestly didn't want to know.

"They must have fired these missiles from here." Ozpin stated.

The road to the BMP wasn't that easy. Ruby had to kill a few faunus on her way, that were either running along the road, firing at her, hoping that any of their bullets were hit them, or taking a cover behind something. The BMP was finally close to her but with that came another problem she had to deal with. Unfortunely for her, this BMP managed to notice her before it was too late.

She hid behind another BMP, which unlike the one she destroyed a moment ago, or the one firing at her right now was already destroyed before she and the rest came here. She knew that trying to take it down with an RPG rocket would be too risky for her so she decided to use other way. She threw a smoke grenade which shorty after engulfed the area between the BMP and in smoke.

She quickly ran over to the BMP and planted a C4 before moving away from it. She pulled out a detonator and pressed it. The BMP exploded and the task given to her by her sister was fullfiled.

With the area clared of out of the BMP and the White Fang soldiers, everyone started moving towards the air vents. She saw a helicopter flying not too far from from the air vents. She saw how some people wearing white clothes rappelled down the rope into the ground.

A lot of people in the audience were confused by them. From their clothing they could already say that there were from Atlas, but it was actually first time when they saw them appear in this game.

"Who are these guys?" Neptune asked.

"I second that." Jaune added.

"They are the Ace Operatives. They are a group are the most elite Huntsmen and Huntresses from Atlas Academy." Ironwood explained, looking quite intrigued that the Ace Ops made their appearance and actually looked forward to see what role this elite group will play in this trilogy.

"Bravo Six, this is Strike Team Three inserting from the northwest." Team Three declared, "Repeat, we're movin' from the northwes. Check your targets and confirm, over." 

Ruby and the others reached the air vents when Yang responded, "Copy, Team Three. We'll meet you at the north end of the tarmac near the vent shafts, out!" 

She and Ciel quickly pulled out buzzsaws and started cutting the gate which was stopping from the entering the launch facility, with sparkes flying everywhere as they proceeded to cut through the thing that was holding the gate. Cutting it lasted a few seconds, but when they managed to do it, the gate fell straight into the air vent. 

Yang and Ciel dropped their buzzsaws on the ground, the latter declaring, "Squad, hook up!"

"Bravo Six. Two Hinds closing fast on your position. You gotta get out of sight, now!" Sniper Team Two informed as Ruby, Yang, Ciel and Barton all hooked the ropes into something and slowly rappelled down into the launch facility.

"Ok, we're in." Yang said.

Screen turned black just a second later.

"I think it's easy to say that their mission is halfway done." Blake said.

"They already are inside of the facility." Winter said, nodding her head in agreement, "All they need to do is to find the control panel and type the codes that the Menagerians are going to give them, sooner or later."

"I hope that they will give them the codes soon." Ghira said. If it was him, he would have given the codes as fast as he could to prevent the death of so many people

"With the Ace Operatives making an appearance in this mission, I'm curious about the role they are going to play in this trilogy, if they end up appearing again in the future." Ironwood said.

"We're so close to the end of the first one now and I'm calling it now, the next mission will be about stopping the missiles and the last ones will be about stopping Sienna." Coco said.

B just nodded his head to their words and pressed the button, starting another mission.
