Ruby POV

Torchwick:
Haha, you really are more manageable without that oversized gardening tool of yours, Red.

I run at him to punch him in his smug face, but he just steps out of the way, and I trip over myself

Torchwick:
You know, I really needed this. But now I need an answer...

He aims his cane at me

Torchwick:
How'd you find this place, Red?

Ruby:
Fine, I'll tell you.

Torchwick:
Good girl.

He lowers his cane, and I use my semblance to run from him and the other White Fang soldiers. I don't get far before something grabs me by the hood

Torchwick:
Really nice try. "A" for effort, but we aren't done here.

There is an explosion nearby

Torchwick:
We're so close to being done, and you're just now blowing yourselves up? Go deal with it.

Before the soldiers can leave, there's another explosion even closer this time

Torchwick:
What is going on here?!

I see a couple of soldiers firing at something when there's another explosion, and Yang comes around the corner with everyone else following her. While he's distracted, I pull Torchwick's hat over his eyes and run to join them

Torchwick:
Grr... Will somebody kill her!

They all start shooting, but I dodge their bullets until they suddenly stop, and I jump into Yang's arms

Ruby:
Yang!

Yang:
Ruby!

Weiss:
Are you alright?

Ruby:
I'm fine, but that isn't important right now! Torchwick has a train full of weapons and robots!

Blake:
What?!

Oobleck:
That's ridiculous. The tunnels are blocked off. There is only a dead end through here.

Torchwick's voice comes out over a speaker system

Torchwick:
Get into gear! We're leaving now!

The train starts up, and (Y/n) rushes towards the tracks and claps

Yang:
You want to tell them that?

Ruby:
And there isn't enough signal to call for backup.

(Y/n):
I managed to stop two of the carts before it started moving too fast for me.

Oobleck:
Then, that only leaves one option for us.

3rd person POV

The group make their on top of the train, and Oobleck takes out a White Fang soldier

Oobleck:
Right, Miss (L/n), can you stop the train from here?

(Y/n):
I should be able to.

She claps her hands and touches the train before getting a shocked look and opening a hatch beneath her

(Y/n):
It's rigged to blow.

Oobleck:
What?!

It starts to beep

(Y/n):
I don't trust myself to disarm it in this state.
