(Y/N): Okay! We know where Stanley and his crew are, and that gives us the edge! 

Gen: WAIT! We have to be eally-ray careful right now! Suika and the others have been captured! And we know the enemy's general vicinity! Considering those two facts, a certain brave and valiant hero is guaranteed to run off and attack! 

Ruby: Oh come on Gen, what are the chances that Kohku will- 

A strong force of wind appeared in the area as Kohakuw as gone. 

(Y/N): HOLY CRAP! THAT WAS FAST! 

Ryusui: It's risky, but might be the best course of action. 

Sci-Twi: I agree. Our path to victory is this: Activate a petrifaction device before Stanley's group shows up. 

Senku: In other words, a little preemptive guerrilla warfare is the only way to slow down Stanley's gang and buy us time! 

And so... 

Suika and Francois noticed something on the ground. 

It was their footprints. 

Suika: It's scary how good Stanley's people are. Our footprints aren't even that deep! 

Kohaku had spotted them from above. 

Kohaku: Hmmm .... that soldier in the front is checking for wire traps. Just behind him, their leader is keeping watch in front and overhead. Their comms man is guarding their flanks, and another is monitoring the rear. Not a single member is out of place, and they keep a strict distance between them while on the move. 

Tsukasa: Yes, we're facing combat professionals. 

Hyoga: When you ran off half-cocked, I thought your brain had turned to mush. But the fact that you're gauging the enemy's capabilities and not diving headfirst into battle tells me you're keeping your wits about you. 

Kohaku: Tsukasa! Hyoga! 

Tsukasa: Their training has prepared them for any combat scenario. In a head-oe battle we'd have no hope of victory. 

Hyoga: But we've come prepared, too. 

They started pulling on a chord and- 

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG! 

The sound of gunshots rang out! 

Maya: AMBUSH! 

Stanley's soldiers fired as Maya and more soldiers went charging in. 

Kohaku: While those at the front are taking cover that other unit is zipping to the side! Did they spot us? 

Tsukasa: No, they're pros. So they'll probably deduce that our gunfire is fake. These soldiers stay behind and pretend to fight back, drawing our attention. But they're not so naive as to believe that we pose them no threat at all. So they've responded to this ambush just as combat theory dictates. While these other ones take a detour to attack the enemy. 

Kohaku: Then this is our chance to save Suika and the others! 

Tsukasa: That would still be a challenge since Stanley is nearby. A chaotic battle could result in dead hostages. 

Hyoga: More importantly, we need to destroy the enemy's transciever. That may be possible if a battle breaks out. Our golden opportunity if you will. 

Kohaku: Right, even I've learned that much. Communication is the key to modern warfare! 

Hyoga: More specifically, if we cut off their communication while maintaining our own, then we've won this war. 

Kohaku: How's that?! 

Hyoga: Think about it for a moment. Why not just hold a blade to Xeno's throat and demand that Stanley Snyder? Why exactly haven't we considered playing that obvious card? 

Tsukasa: Because back at their base, Weiss, Nikki, and all of our other friends are their hostages. The hostages on both sides have created a stalemate. 

Kohaku: Right, so if we do anything to hurt Xeno, they woudln't think twice about contacting their people in Corn City and telling them to retaliate against- WAIT! IF THEY'VE LOST THEIR LINE OF COMMUNICATION! THE HOSTAGE ON THEIR SIDE IS USELESS! 

Hyoga: Then we can take our sweet time, torturing Xeo until Stanley's team surrenders. 

Kohaku: That still wouldn't work! They have Suika, Francois, Ginro, and Matsukaze as hostages! 

Maya: FOUND YOU! 

Maya appeared before them! 

Hyoga: Well, our deaths are now assured, yet- 

Tsukasa: Yes, I'm not one to be shot down without a fight. 

Kohaku: Before we die, we just have to destroy their transmitter! 

Kohaku, Tsukasa, and Hyoga charged into combat with Maya and Stanley's soldiers! 

All three of them were easily overpowering the soldiers! Kohaku had her speed, Tsukasa had his strength, and Hyoga had his style! 

Then all of a sudden Maya knocked a tree down, and Tsukasa stopped it! 

Kohaku: TSUKASA! 

Soldier: OH SHIT! IT'S TSUKASA! 

Soldier 2: THE STRONGEST PRIMATE HIGH SCHOOL AND MMA CHAMP FROM JAPAN?! 

Soldiers: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! 

Maya: Is that so? Then I get to go all out! 

Maya started swinging her weapon over and over! 

Tsukasa: I'll give you credit, you actually pushed me this hard. 

He punched her in the stomach, and it knocked her out instantly! 

Maya: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! 

Soldier: OH SHIT! HE BEAT MAYA! THAT MONSTER! 

BANG!!! 

Another soldier shot Tsukasa right in the chest! 

Soldier 2: Up against guns made with science, it doesn't matter how strong you are! 

Tsukasa was pumped full of lead! 

Kohaku: NO! TSUKASA!!!! 

Stanley appeared and tried to shoot Kohaku, but Hyoga pushed her out of the way and was shot right in the neck! 

Hyoga: Kohaku ... why are you standing around? You've got a job to do. 

Kohaku began to weep, but nodded and charged right at Leonard, destroying his communicator! 

Stanley: You were after our communicator? 

Kohaku: Yes. 

Stanley: Not bad at all. 

He shot her right through the heart! 

Kohaku: (Y/N) ... I wonder if you've ever felt this scared ... or close to death. Well, I don't. Becuase I know, that you'll win. The power of science will ... prevail. 

Kohaku's vision began to blur, and soon enough, she closed her eyes. 

Tsukasa, Hyoga, and Kohaku died. 

Back at Fort Medusa... 

Taiju: 3000 METERS! ONE SECOND!!! 

The Medusa began to rattle over and over, but nothing! 

Gen: That shock cannon is rutal-bay! 

Ryusui: Once we get a working device installed here, victory will be ours. 

Sci-Twi: DANG IT! Still no luck with these diamonds! 

Chrome: We're running low on time! 

Sci-Twi: I know Chrome. I hope Kohaku, Tsukasa, and Hyoga can keep stalling for time. 

Back with Stanley's crew... 

Maya: Looks like we should hang back until the transceiver's fixed. 

Stanley: No, we're moving on. 

Maya: WHAT?! 

Stanley: Those three were some of the strongest members of the Junior Science Brigade. They knew scouting ahead was risking, and yet they went in. 

Maya: I know, it's kind of weird. 

Stanley: Must be a reason they gave their lives to buy time. 

Soldier: So we won't give them time! 

They all charged in! 

As night fell... 

(Y/N): Luna. Looks like it's up to you. 

Luna: M-Me?! (Y/N), are you sure? 

(Y/N): Suika and Francois have been taken hostage. And you're the medical expert. That's why you'll be heading out. Chelsea? 

Chelsea: Yes? 

(Y/N): Can you guide her? 

Chelsea: Okey dokey! 

You hugged them both. 

(Y/N): Take care, both of you. 

They both hugged you back. 

Chelsea and Luna: Yeah, you too. 

Carlos and Max both watched Luna go off with tears in their eyes. 

Chelsea was crying hard too. 

Luna: Chelsea, what's wrong? 

Chelsea: All this freaky crying ... I could lol at myself. Eveyrone knows that the device won't be finishe on time. 

Luna: WHAT?! 

Chelsea: Sci-Twi, Kaseki, and Chroe aren't making the cut. But even so, they're giving it all they've got until time runs out. They know you and I can't fight, so they wanted us to get away and survive! 

Luna: Wh-What?! NO! (Y/N)!!! CARLOS! MAX!!! EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE FOR REAL THIS TIME! NO NO NO NO NO NO! 

The lights then blared up! 

Stanley's men were tossing grenades! 

(Y/N): TAIJU! RUBY! BLAKE! YANG! HOLD THEM BACK!!! 

Ruby: YEAH! WE WOn'T LOSE! 

Stanley: REMIND THESE BRATS THAT PATHETIC EMOTIONS DON'T FIGURE INTO OUR WARFARE! SHOOT TO KIL! SHOW NO MERCY! 

Charlotte and Soldiers: YEAH! 

Ruby, Blake, and Yang were fighting off the soldiers as best as they could, but then out of nowhere- 

Taiju: NOO! 

Taiju shoved them out of the way, and was blown up by a grenade! 

Ruby: TAIJU! 

Yang: YOU IDIOT! WHAT THE FUCK?! 

Blake: (crying) WAKE UP TAIJU!!! 

Nearby, Ryusui held onto his gun, while also keeping watch over Xeno. 

Xeno: It's Science Kingdom vs. Science Kingdom. The battle for this world comes to a close at last. As you can plainly see, no one on this earth can possibly stop Stanley. Because he knows full well that Senku will never join us in our scheme to rule the world. That's his fate, or lifelong imprisonment. If only you would come to your senses, then perhaps some of you might yet live. 

Ryusui: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Who said it's all over? Hanging on for an extra second means another step forward! And two seconds gives us two steps! We keep moving forward with science! Or did you forget how the essence of science is all about carving a path to the future? It doesn't matter who we lose along the way, because we will still triumph! All thanks to science! We'll all be stone before we're saved! Thanks to Dr.- BLEGH! 

Ryusui was then shot in the chest by Stanley! 

You and Senku rushed into the lab as grenades blew it up, pushing Sci-Twi, Chrome, and Kaseki outside! 

Kaseki: The diamonds! 

Sci-Twi: We couldn't ... perfect them. And now they're all gone. It's over ... we failed. 

Chrome: I wouldn't be so sure of that. 

A call rang out. 

(Y/N): Wait ... is that- 

Senku: HEH! I bet I know who it is! 

You answered it. 

Joel: (from the phone) As a seasoned pro, whenever I complete a big job, I make a point of raising a glass to myself in victory. Nobody interferes with my little celebration. 0.03 meters, ten seconds.

 He poured in wine on the Medusa and into a glass. 

Joel: Here it is. Brand new science beyond anything from the 21st century. Humanity now owns this for all eternity. From this day forth, time is the only obstacle between me and more diamond batteries! A task night impossible without my prodigious skills! I have you to thank, Kaseki! Here shining brightly is humanity's first ever man-made Medusa! A joint effort indeed! 

Kaseki: (crying) I'm really glad to hear that it wans't all for nothing. 

But then, from Xeno's Castle, Brody grabbed the Medusa! 

Brody: You tried it out in that glass to keep us from confiscating it, huh?! 

He then destroyed the communicator! 

Brody: Sorry, but no can do. This is one thing we can't let you possess. Can't have a nasty weapon like that unaccounted for. 

The soldiers pointed their weapons at them. 

Weiss: Looks like it's do or die time. EVERYONE! LET'S GO! 

Weiss lead all the fighters to attack! 

Moz: FINE BY ME, MY BEAUTIFUL ICE QUEEN! I HATED PLAYING NICE WITH THEM! 

Magma: THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUR PLAN FROM THE START! 

Yo: We're so going to die, aren't we? 

Weiss: No, because (Y/N), Senku, Sci-Twi, Ruby, Blake, Yang, and the others always have a plan! See you on the other side, I love you guys. 

Weiss and her squad screamed out a battle cry! 

Joel: Well, as for me, I still can't go without a toast to victory, alongside Kaseki, the Master Craftsman. 

Brody: This is sure to get them killed! 

Magma: 1000 METERS, ONE SECOND!! 

Yo: WHAT?! MAGMA! HOW STUPID ARE YOU?! IT WON'T ACTIVATE UNLESS YOU'RE SUPER CLOSE! 

Weiss and Nikki: YOU'RE ONE TO TALK! 

Brody: WHY NOW OF ALL TIMES?! OH GOD! NO! THEY'RE GOING FOR THE TRINKET! DON'T LET THEM NEAR! 

The soldiers fired as Yo was shot hard! 

Yo: DAMN IT! 

Weiss: MOZ! 

Moz took down the soldiers in the way and knocked the keys out of Brody's hand! 

Weiss: HOMURA! 

Homura did gymnastics and grabbed the key, but Brody shot her arm! 

Homura: AAAAAAAARGH! 

It fell down, and- 

Weiss: GRAB IT MAGMA! 

Magma charged through and used it to open the vault to the Medusa! 

But then he was shot dead! 

Weiss grabbed it! 

Weiss: HA! I go- 

Brody slammed the vault on her arm! 

Weiss: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! 

Brody: Whoa there, can't let you go near your lips. Why did you have to betray us? 

Weiss: Heh, it's over anyway. Looks like those radio waves are coming. Right ... Joel? 

Joel: Yeah. 

Why-Man: 12,800,00 Meters, One Second. 

The Medusa activated, and Weiss smiled. 

Weiss: We've won. 

Back in South America... 

(Y/N): YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! It's starting again from North America?! 

Senku: Yep. In order to win, we have to start again. 

Gen: How many minutes until the Petrification Beam reaches us? 

Sci-Twi: They're going to pull this off! We need to ahve faith in th- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! 

Sci-Twi was shot before your eyes! 

(Y/N): SCI-

And then Senku, too! 

Matsukaze and Ginro saw the light! 

Matsukaze: THE WICKED LIGHT! 

Ginro: OH NO! WE'RE DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! 

At that moment, arrows hit the soldiers as Ukyo shot them down and then Ruby, Blake, and Yang freed the hostages! 

Ruby: SUIKA! GRAB THE PETRIFICATION CURE! 

But then Ruby was shot! 

Blake and Yang: RUBY! 

Xeno and Stanley stood there. 

Xeno: How predictable. That was your proverbial Noah's ark. 

Yang: YOU FUCKING BASTA- 

Stanley shot Yang in the chest! 

Blake: YANG! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 

Stanley: Looks like you're the last one left. 

Blake: No, we're all coming back. Aren't you forgetting someone? 

They noticed a discarded melon head. 

Suika was running with jugs of Petrification Cure! 

They shot at her, and she tripped, dropping several of them! 

Chrome managed to catch one, and threw it to Gen! 

Xeno: What's going on?! 

(Y/N): Isn't it obvious? We'll all be petrified. And it could take days, months, years even. It's going to rain down on us. 

Xeno: GRAB THAT LA- 

(Y/N): BLACKWHIP! 

You tied Xeno and Stanley togther! 

(Y/N): You both are staying there. See you, well, probably never. 

The Petrification Beam turned you to stone as you smiled. 

Nearby... 

Luna: Th-That's the Petrification Beam! 

Chelsea: Okay! All we got to do is toss the Petrification Cure upwards! We have a slim shot at reviving ourselves! 

Luna: Y-Yeah! And I'm a smooth operator! Here goes! 

Luna threw it, but it went over a cliff! 

Luna: OH SHIT! 

As it smashed, both of them were turned to stone! 

Xeno: This ... light. It's ... elegant. Senku, you planned this out all along, right? Just ... why? Even in the end, we don't walk the same path, despite being alike. 

Senku: Heh, isn't it obvious? 

Senku was there. 

Senku: I don't even have 1 millimeter of interest in ruling over everyone. Instead of taking the world, we're crafting it for the future. That's what gets me excited. 

Senku got petrified. 

Xeno: I guess you are the greedy one. 

Stanley: (tearing up) X-Xeno. 

Xeno turned to stone. 

Stanley: Well done, you won this war. You earned my respect. 

Stanley lit a cigarette of victory as he turned to stone. 

At Ishigami Village ... 

Kokuyo: What's that?! 

Ruri: It's the beam! 

All the Villagers braced themselves as they were petrified! 

On Treasure Island... 

Soyuz: EVERYONE! WE DON'T WANT TO BREAK WHILE BEING PETRIFIED SO GET IN DEFENSIVE POSITIONS! 

Soyuz and all his people got petrified. 

The whole world, except for animals, was petrified! 

(Y/N): Well, guess it's time for us to- 

Team RWBY: Start counting. 

Senku: Get excited! The new world is going to be great! 

Soon... 

A storm hit, and as it rained down, some Petrification Cure hit Suika! 

Suika: AGH! I'm out of stone! YES! EVERYONE! BIG BROTHER! SENKU! BIG SIS RUBY! I- 

She noticed that no one else was revived. 

Suika: So, it's just me? Oh yeah! Well, I guess it's up to me then! SUIKA TO THE RESCUE!
