At the docks outside of Beacon. Airbuses are seen picking up the last few civilians and students. Port and Oobleck oversee the evacuation.

Port: That's it! Everybody is on board! This is a mandatory evacuation!

Oobleck: A safe zone has been established in Vale! Please, remain calm and listen to Atlas personnel! 

Weiss stares at what is in front of her, in disbelief. As Ruby comes running down the path, Zwei barks to alert Weiss to her leader's presence, and Weiss turns around to greet her.

Weiss: Ruby!

Ruby: Oh, I found you!

Weiss: Ruby, where have you-

Ruby: Don't worry, I'm fine! What's going on?

Unsure of what to say, Weiss lowers her gaze sadly.

Ruby: Weiss? What is it?

Weiss steps aside, giving Ruby a clear view of Blake and Yang lying on the ground. Both girls have bandages wrapped around their wounds, and the latter is unconscious. Behind them sit Nora and Ren, who are too battered and bruised to fight. Blake reaches over and places her hand on her wound.

Blake: I'm sorry.

Ruby reaches out and opens her mouth to say something, but she doesn't know what to say in her emotional state.

Blake: I'm so sorry.

Ruby: Yang...

Sun: Hey. She's going to be okay. The soldiers have a ship ready to take you guys to Vale.

Nora: But Jaune, Pyrrha, and Y/N are still missing.

Nora attempts to stand, but she quickly sits back down, groaning and holding her side.

Ruby: What!?

Sun: Look, guys, that giant Grimm is circling the school! Even the White Fang are pulling out! We all have to go, now!

Ren: We're not... leaving! 

He tried to stand up but then falls to his knees. Sun turns and casts a worried look at Blake.

Ruby: I'll find them... I'll find them, and I'll bring them back.

Weiss: No! We will find them. 

She turns to Nora and Ren.

Weiss: Watch after Blake and Yang. We'll be back. 

Ruby and Weiss run back toward the Academy, while Sun watches them go.

Sun: You better be! Idiots. 

Meanwhile

Y/N is running toward the Tower when he sees Pyrrha pushing Jaune directly into a nearby locker, which slams shut from the impact. She walks over to the locker and begins typing coordinates into it. She looks him in the eyes one last time, before stepping back and watching the locker fly away. Once it vanishes into the distance, she clenches her fists and, once again, adopts a determined demeanor as she walks toward the tower. But Y/N managed to catch up to her.

Y/N: Pyrrha! Wait!

Pyrrha: Y/N?! What are you doing here?

Y/N: I'm going to the tower! Why do you send Jaune away? Is it because of the maiden?

Pyrrha: Yes! Cinder now has the power!

Y/N: Oh fuck! Then we need to take her down.

Pyrrha: No, Y/N... I'll do it.
