You Stare into the Abyss, and the Abyss stares back.

Our Way

Air Control: "All units, be advised: Leviathan-class Grimm has submerged but is still on approach. Preparing hard-light shields, over!"

Elsewhere, Ruby Rose and her friends overhear the radio chatter with looks of horror on their faces. Caroline Cordovin continues to struggle to get the Colossus' arm cannon out of the water with it being covered in ice and rock Dust.

Manta Two-Two: "We're getting slammed by hostiles out here! Where is Cordovin?!"

Cordovin: "This is your fault! Do you hear me?!"

Yang: "Ruby!"

Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna can be seen running out of the forest to rejoin the group.

Ruby: "Yang! Blake! Are you okay?"

Yang and Blake notice the disabled mech.

Blake: "What happened?"

The group then hears the Leviathan roaring.

Yang: "Was that a giant Grimm?"

Weiss: "Yes... and we just ruined the only thing capable of stopping it..."

The group wastes no time boarding the aircraft. It begins to fly away. Ruby watches with pity as Cordovin continues to struggle to move the mech. Cordovin herself yells out in anger.

Cordovin: This is your fault!! YOUR FAULT!!! This is...

She than gives up. One of the soldiers speak up in one of the radios.

Soldier: "Ma'am, what's your status? We need an answer, over!"

Cordovin: ... your fault...

She spoke, as she looks down sadly.

Blake: "I'm so sorry..."

Yang: "Don't be. This isn't on you."

Blake: "But--"

Ruby: "You're safe, that's all that matters."

Blake smiles at her leader and the two hug. Ruby looks to Yang and the two share a smile.

Maria: "I suppose I have to be the bad guy and say it, getting the lamp to Atlas is still our top priority, and right now we have the perfect opportunity to head straight for it. We may not get another chance like this."

Yang: "No way!"

Weiss: "We can't leave, not like this."

Blake: "It's like you said, a Huntress is supposed to protect others to the bitter end."

Maria looks to Ruby, who just shrugs and smiles. Maria smiles back and continues to fly. Papyrus than gets out, and unleashed a red magical slash. It hits the Leviathen, but it is only annoyed there. Kage than appears before them.

Kage: "It's no use. I cannot stop them from coming. Salem is holding more power than even I could do."

Ruby: "We need to head for the Leviathan. Jaune, can you and Ren be ready to mask our ship?"

Ren: "I think we can manage."

Jaune: "Got a few ideas?"

Ruby: "I've got one."

Qrow: Eyes up, everybody. It's back.

The Leviathan swims for a bit before resurfacing above the water, letting out a terrifying roar.

Manta Three-Four: "Argus Base, this is Manta 3-4! Leviathan has hit the shallows and resurfaced! We need those shields up now, over!"

From the city, a large crowd gathers as they look out to the ocean with concern. Terra Cotta-Arc is seen making her way through the crowd, eventually reuniting with her wife Saphron and their son Adrian, before looking out to the ocean again in concern. As the Leviathan approaches Argus, a hard-light Dust barrier is erected, halting its progress.
