Rwby and others react to the future

"It was a trap and now we can't get out of that room without clearance," Weiss said

"I'm sure we'll find out way out and penny can handle herself for a while," ruby said

A small breeze picks up, blowing in the Ace Ops' direction. It grows to the point of Penny's enemies needing to brace themselves. Finally, Penny sends an air current barreling forward, knocking the Ace Ops off their feet. Vine grabs a nearby railing with his Semblance and Harriet and Elm land on their feet, but Marrow has to grab Elm's hammer Timber to regain his footing.

Harriet uses her Semblance to move against Penny's wind while Vine uses his to boost himself up out of the airflow, landing behind Penny. The Winter Maiden turns around to face him.

Penny: You will NOT hurt my friends!

"I keep forgetting how powerful maidens are," Blake said

"Plus the fact that penny is a robot with aura and has taken down a bullhead I'm sure she'll be fine" ruby said

"Yes and I have also a lot of training," penny said

The wind lightens up somewhat. Penny releases her Floating Array swords, using them to defend against Vine's Semblance. Behind her, Harriet zooms into her blind spot, hammering her with a barrage of high-speed blows. Penny finally catches Harriet in the chest with her swords, causing the Ace Operative to take a spill.

Before Penny can strike again, one of Elm's rockets hits her in the back, sending her flying. Marrow and Harriet keep the pressure on her, but she's able to counter Harriet's attack. Penny uses her Maiden powers again, a dark cloud materializing overhead. Chunks of hail begin to fall, distracting Marrow long enough for Penny to kick him off the walkway. Vine uses his Semblance to pull his teammate back to safety.

Vine: Harriet! Elm!

"I'm surprised you can keep up with Harriet's speed," yang said

"She doing well in a one vs four fight," Weiss said

"Poor marrow didn't want to fight and know he getting kicked off the walking way," ruby said

Elm moves forward, planting herself in place using her Semblance. Harriet leaps onto her hammer, using her Semblance to launch off as Elm swings. She catches Penny unaware, landing multiple hits. The Winter Maiden sends her swords forward, but Harriet blocks them. Behind her, Elm circularly swings her weapon as in a hammer throw, and Harriet backflips out of the way just in time to avoid the hammer as her teammate hurls it.

"Yeah they were holding back against us and we lucky they didn't work as a team against us," Blake said

"Yeah I'm not sure how long penny can hold on," yang said

"I think I could use my summon to break down the door," Weiss said

"That could work," ruby said

On the other side of the door, Weiss attempts to use her Arma Gigas to break it, but the electricity running through it proves fatal for the summon.

Weiss: Four versus one? Cowards.

Ruby: Penny's the Winter Maiden, I'm sure she can hold her own for a little bit.

"Well that didn't work," Weiss said

"It was worth a shot," ruby said

"Hmm maybe if I use my semblance I could break down the door no they wouldn't agree with that," Nora thought

Elm's hammer catches Penny in the chest, sending her flying back. Vine attacks with his Thorn blades but Penny holds him and Harriet back. Elm is able to catch her in a bear hug from behind and stop her from using her Maiden powers. The wind dies down completely as Elm tightens her grip. The Ace Ops are given a moment's reprieve before Penny's Maiden flames start up again. She knocks her enemies back in a brilliant flash of blue light.
