Volume 3 Chapter 7: Why Can't We All Smile?

Start from the beginning
                                        

Ren: Griffons.

Neptune: Anybody got a plan of attack?

Ruby: Sun! I need your Scroll!

Sun uses his tail to flick his Scroll to Ruby, who catches and uses it to summon her locker, which opens up revealing Crescent Rose inside. However, Ruby is stopped when a Griffon lands on her locker, and roars at her before being slammed and stomped onto the ground by a lightning speed (Y/N).

Ruby: (Y/N)!

(Y/N) didn't look at Ruby as he turns and approaches to Penny's body.

Ruby: (Y/N)?

(Y/N) stops as he sees Penny's teddy bear, lying right next to her. He slowly grabs the teddy bear, as tears begins to drop from him.

(Y/N): ....

================================================================================

(Flashback)

(Y/N): What happened to the rest of the dolls?

Penny: Oh! I gave it to a little girl. She seems to have really wanted all of it. (holds out the stuffed bear) And all I wanted was this cute little bear.

================================================================================

(Present Time)

A tear drops on the teddy bear's eye.

(Y/N): All she wanted....

Pyrrha: (approaching) (Y/N), I...

(Y/N): No.... It's not your fault...

Sun approaches as he puts a hand on (Y/N)'s shoulder, until a Griffon drops in front of them and roars at them before being scared away at the sound of a gunshot.

Port: (holding his blunderbuss-axe in hand, with Oobleck holding his weapon in its club form) Students! I think it would be best for you to leave.

Ruby: But we did a-

Oobleck: Miss Rose! This day will surely go down in Remnant's history. I'd prefer it if my students could live to tell about it.

Ruby nods at the Doctor's words before grabbing Crescent Rose.

(Y/N): Let's go!

As all the students leave, (Y/N) gets distracted by the flash of Velvet Scarlatina's camera. She stops to look at the photograph she took but is interrupted when her leader calls out to her.

Coco: Velvet!

With the students clear of the arena, Port and Oobleck stand back-to-back with their weapons in hand as the Griffons circle around them

Port: (laughs maniacally) One final match, Barty! Place your bets!

================================================================================

The students are then shown exiting the arena entrance and gather together in front of Ironwood.

Ruby: What's going on!?

Ironwood: Grimm are crawling all over the city. The White Fang's invaded Beacon, and to make matters worse, some... vagabond has seized one of my ships. Until we regain command, the skies are out of our control. So I'm... (Ironwood is interrupted by a sneak attack from a Creep, which is swiftly dealt with from a bullet to its head.) ...going to take it back.

As Ironwood turns for his ship, he is stopped when asked a question.

Jaune: What should we do?

Ironwood:(turns and faces the students) You have two choices. Defend your Kingdom and your school... or save yourselves. (the students exchange looks with each other) No one will fault you if you leave. (Ironwood then proceeds to climb up on the dropship in front of him, as he addresses the crowd.) Let's move out!
