Qrow Branwen X Reader

Seeing Red

At the Argus base, the Atlesian guards watch the screen as Cordovin's Colossus is trying to swipe at the airship Maria and Oscar are in, "You just couldn't keep this rivalry between us, could you, Calavera?! You had to rope in children to fail with you!"

The guards cheer on their boss as she fires another shot from the mech's arm cannon. Unbeknownst to them, a red dot appears on one of the radar's screens approaching Argus.

Back at the cliffside,  you were still holding onto Ajin. Oscar notices this from the airship, "(Y/n)!"

Ajin makes it on top of the cliff, Qrow rushes to you, pulling you away from the cliff, "Don't do that! What were you thinking?"
"Protecting my kids." You say while trying to dry yourself.

Qrow wipes your wet face; you felt cold to his touch. His hands were shaking, a dreadful feeling of loneliness was filling him, the same feeling he had forgotten many years, no- a feeling he tried to forget. He felt awful; he was scared for your safety, "Stay on the ground, I'll protect you."

Oscar through the radio, "(Y/n)! Are you guys, okay?"

"Are you okay? Why did you risk that?"

"I know, we were supposed to lay low, but listen! I think I finally found a weakness!"

"Well, we're all ears." Ruby and her friends notice Nora helping Jaune over, "Guys!" Ren runs over to his teammates.

"The cylinder on Cordo's cannon rotates and locks in a giant Dust cartridge every time she changes attack styles."
"We noticed."
"Right, but her missile launcher doesn't lock-in, it pops out! Without her shields, one well-placed shot could detonate the missiles while they're still in the launcher!"

"We could destroy the entire cannon... Oscar, that's brilliant!"
"Can you... make that kind of shot?"
"We'll only get one chance before she catches on. I'd have to be practically staring down the barrel of her cannon."
"Well, I've got a way to guarantee that."

Maria flies the airship back over to Ruby's group. She stops with the hatch doors open. Ruby runs forward, "Ruby, what are you doing?!" Ruby hops into the airship and heads off to do her part, "What is she thinking?!" Both you and Qrow watch the airship heading towards Cordo's mech. Ruby smiles at Maria and Oscar.

In the mech, one of the screens has a popup message saying, "ARGUS BASE INCOMING CALL." Cordovin notices this, but her attention is then drawn away, "Hey, Cordo! I've got one missile left, and I know exactly where I'm going to stick it!"

"One missile, you say? That's a shame, Maria, because I have plenty!"

Cordovin has the missile launcher pop out from the mech's arm cannon while Maria continues flying toward her, "ARE YOU TWO CRAZY?!!"
"Sometimes, the best approach is simply the most direct!"

As the airship moves closer, Ruby gets into position and aims at Cordovin's mech cannon. Cordovin gasps as she pulls up a screen, noticing Ruby and catching on to her plan, "You!"

Ruby pulls the trigger, but suddenly, the missile launcher retracts back into the arm cannon, and the bullet is deflected. Everyone gasps in shock, "You thought you could fool me?!"

She readies the arm cannon again, this time about to fire a lightning Dust attack, "Pull up!!"

Maria pulls up the airship, but it still gets partially caught in the blast. The rest of the group on the cliff moves out of the way. The airship is affected by the electricity, and Maria screams in pain as her prosthetic eyes closed shut, "I can't see! My eyes!"
"No, no, no!!"
"Take control!!"

Oscar grabs the joystick as he barely gains control of the airship, "We're gonna crash! We're gonna CRASH!!"

The rest of the group emerges from the smoke on the cliffside, coughing, "Look!"
