Hello, hello. We are back with a new chapter for all of you today. Our group of travelers are about to hit a devious lick involving an airship. So yeah, that's gonna happen. All right, let's get into it already!
————————————
*3rd Person POV*
The next day, Weiss is seen walking with Cordovin and Saphron, who is holding Adrian in her arm. They are also escorted by the two Guards. Weiss drags a large luggage case behind her.
Cordovin: "Ah, I was relieved to hear that you came to your senses, Miss Schnee. Many of us were devastated when we heard you would be attending... Beacon Academy. Knowing that you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart."
Weiss: (pretending) "It was... time to get my act together and go back to my roots."
Cordovin: "Oh, I can't wait to see you follow in your sister's footsteps."
Weiss: (unenthusiastically smiles) "Absolutely..."
Cordovin: "I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part." She winks and walks away.
Guard 1: "Allow me to assist you with your bag." He goes over to pick up Weiss' luggage. "My, what a heavy bag!"
Weiss: "That's alright!" She said, keeping her grip on the luggage.
Guard 1: "Nonsense!"
Guard 2: "Allow me to assist as well!"
Weiss: "I can take care of it by myself!"
As Cordovin walks away, she overhears Weiss and the Guards' conversation. She stops in her tracks and gains a suspicious look on her face. Saphron notices this and whispers to Adrian.
Saphron: (whispering) "Just like we practiced."
Adrian nods at his mother. The baby then lets out a loud wail that can be heard throughout the base. Adrian "cries" as he fusses in his mother's arms.
Saphron: (pretending) "Oh no! Look at that, he's just going to miss you so much! You should hurry on out of here!"
Guard 1: "A crying child?"
Guard 2: "We must console it!"
The two guards hup over to Adrian as they perform weird poses to amuse him. Cordovin continues walking with an unamused look on her face. While they are distracted, Weiss quickly gets onto the airship with the luggage behind her.
Weiss: "That was close."
Ruby: (earpiece) "Is everything okay?"
Maria: "Call me heavy... It's all muscle! I'll show them a thing or two about heavy!" She said from inside the suitcase.
Azure: (earpiece) "Just be glad you two got inside the airship."
Weiss: "We're on board."
Elsewhere, Ruby, Azure, Nero, Vert, Rosa, Jaune, Nora, Ren, Oscar, and Qrow wait along the cliffside between the forest and the ocean.
Ruby: "Alright, we'll all watch our Scrolls. The second Weiss is out of range of the comm tower, that'll mean she's out of range of the radar too."
Yang: (radio) "And that's when Blake steps in. We're almost at the drop off."
In another area, Yang is driving Bumblebee with Blake sitting behind her. Blake has her Scroll out receiving instructions from Terra.
Terra: "Okay, remember: one, the radar box is separate from the rest of the communications equipment. So if you disconnect it properly, it won't take out comms for the rest of the city. Two, this conversation never happened."
Blake: "Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've disabled Atlas security."
Terra stares back with an unamused look.
Terra: "Never. Happened."
Yang arrives at the drop off point. Blake steps off the bike and proceeds forward.
Yang: "You sure I shouldn't come with?"
Blake: "More intruders means we're more likely to be seen. Besides, stealth isn't exactly your, um..."
Yang stares back at Blake with her arms crossed.
Blake: "I mean, you're great! And I'll hurry back."
Yang: "Go." She said, softening her expression.
Blake smiles back at her before heading off.
Blake: (over comms) "Heading in on foot. Won't be long."
Jaune: "Yes! It's all going to plan!" He then looks to Ren and Nora, who just stare at him with neutral looks. He then clears his throat. "I mean, uh... roger."
Ren and Nora exchange a brief glance while rolling their eyes at their leader. Azure sees Ruby looking over with concern to Qrow, who is leaning against a tree with an uneasy look on his face. Azure holds Ruby's hand with reassurance.
Azure: "This is gonna work, Ruby."
Ruby: "Yeah."
On the airship, Weiss sits in a passenger seat. She looks down at her Scroll and notices her friends' signals slowly going out of range. Upon seeing this, Weiss makes her move. She gets up and heads toward the cockpit.
Guard 1: "Miss Schnee! For your own safety, we must request--"
Guard 2: "What?!"
Weiss can be heard activating a glyph.
Guard 1: "Traitor!"
Grunts from the guards are heard. The airship is seen flying by as the two guards are tied together by a black Schnee glyph as a parachute slows their descent.
Guard 2: "This parachute won't excuse you of your treachery!"
The glyph deactivates, causing one of the guards to hang onto the other guard for dear life.
Back on the airship, Weiss walks over to the controls with Maria taking the pilot's seat.
Weiss: "And you're sure you can fly this?"
Maria: "Missy, I was the Grimm Reaper! What part of "best Huntress of her generation" don't you understand?"
Weiss: "Right, but your eyes."
Maria chuckles as she notices a small device plugged in the controls. She takes out the device and plugs it into her goggles.
Maria: "You were saying?"
Weiss: "That you said your eyes were in desperate need of repair!"
Maria: "Bup bup bup." Maria held a finger out at Weiss.
Weiss: "But--"
Maria: "Bup!"
Weiss ultimately relents. She puts on her seatbelt as Maria starts to fly around.
Back on the ground, Ruby watches her Scroll as Weiss' signal disappears.
Ruby: "Alright guys, this is it." She places her fingers on her ear. "Blake, you're up."
No response.
Ruby: "Blake?" She looks back to her friends in worry.
Yang sits on the ground next to Bumblebee.
Ruby: (over comms) "Yang, what's going on?"
Yang gets up and looks over to the relay tower.
Yang: "I don't know..." She looks to her Scroll and sees Weiss' signal coming back on.
*Back on the airship with Weiss and Maria...*
Terminal Soldier: "Manta 5-1, this is Argus Base. We see you circled back. What's your status, over."
Weiss: "Why can they see us?"
Maria: "Somebody dropped the ball. Don't worry, I've worked with Atlas forces before. I know their jargon." She picks up the radio, clearing her throat before speaking.
Maria: "Argus Base, this is Manta 5-1. Feel free to gaff off. Thought we were going to scrub due to FOD, but we're back up and green across the board, over." Static was heard.
Terminal Soldier: "Manta 5-1, return to base immediately, or you will be treated as hostile, over."
Weiss: "I thought you said you knew their jargon!"
Terminal Soldier: "Jargon was fine, but our pilots aren't elderly women."
Maria: "Huh, well they got me there! Ooh, my mind really is going! Why would you kids let me fly this thing?"
Cordovin: (over radio) "Calavera! You and those insolent children are up to something, aren't you?! You thought you could undermine my authority? If you don't return my ship this INSTANT, I will make an example out of you. I will show you the true might of Atlas!"
A crunching sound was heard.
Maria: "You hear that, Cordo?" She was munching on cashews with her mouth open. "That's the sound of me not caring!" She let out a manic laughter as Weiss puts her fingers to her ear.
Weiss: "Ruby, Azure, we're in trouble. Cordo's onto us, and Maria isn't helping!"
Azure: (earpiece) "That doesn't sound good. And Grandma, the munching and manic laughing is not helping us at all!"
*Back on the ground...*
Weiss: "Why is the radar still up?!"
Ruby: "We don't know, Blake isn't responding."
Oscar: "What do we do?!"
Yang: (over comms) "Keep the ship in one piece."
Yang is seen revving her motorcycle. She quickly zooms over to the radar tower. Azure turned to Nero.
Azure: "Nero, can you go and help them out? If Blake's in trouble, then you and Yang can help her out." Nero nodded at him and ran off to help the two girls out.
Nora: "Maybe we should fly over to help Yang and Blake as well?"
Qrow: "Damn it! Cordo's gonna scramble her fighters. We've got maybe ninety seconds before they're in the air, and all over Weiss and Maria. This is all my fault..."
Jaune: "What are you talking about? Your Semblance?"
Qrow: "Every choice I've ever made has led me here, and I've dragged you along with me. Oz, myself, the others... We're responsible for the mess the world's in now. I shouldn't have come, shouldn't have let any of you come... What was I thinking?!"
Ruby: "We're all in this together, and we're all going to do the best we can. That's all anyone can do. And I know it's what you've always aimed for. We would've come whether or not you'd let us, so stop talking like we're your responsibility! We're not! But we could still use Qrow Branwen on our side."
Qrow ponders his niece's words as Azure smiled at Ruby.
Qrow: "Hm... How did you grow up so fast?"
Ruby: "I had good role models."
The two shared a smile.
Weiss: (over comms) "Guys? She's not sending fighters..."
The entire group look over to the Argus base. Suddenly, the mountain at the base retracts, revealing a colossal mech that overlooks the city of Argus.
Cordovin: "Clearly the people have forgotten that they live in peace thanks to the awesome might of Atlas!"
Rosa: "Is Cordovin... piloting that?"
Cordovin: "Consider this a reminder!"
Cordovin charges up the mech's arm cannon, which lets out an electric burst that fires at the ship Weiss and Maria are piloting. The controls go critical as Maria's eyes spin.
Weiss: "Are you okay?"
Maria: "I am, but she's clearly lost her mind!"
Cordovin: "And that was merely a warning shot! All Atlas personnel standby, and watch how your leader maintains order!"
Ruby and her group look over to see Weiss and Maria fly in, with Cordovin in her mech following close behind.
Cordovin: "It's time you asked yourselves, children... Do you truly wish to defy me?"
Ruby: "Hurry back, Weiss. I need you on the ground if we're gonna take this thing down."
*Over with Blake...*
Meanwhile, at the comms tower, Blake's Scroll is seen on the ground. Someone steps on the Scroll as they run. Blake is seen running behind cover. She looks next to her, only to discover a motionless body of an Atlas guard. Blake reels back in horror. Blake is forced to take cover again when a gunshot is heard. She looks to the floor below her, with Adam Taurus sheathing Wilt into Blush. He has discarded his Grimm mask and now wears a black blindfold to cover his eyes.
Adam: "It's nice to finally have time to ourselves. Don't you think?"
Blake: "Leave me alone!" She fires at Adam, but he blocks and absorbs the bullets with his sword.
Adam: "But I've waited so long, for you to be away from them."
Blake runs over and uses a cable to zipwire herself down, but Adam cuts the cable with his Semblance, causing Blake to land on the same platform he's on. The two proceed to clash blades, until Blake kicks him back a distance.
Adam: "Why did you have to come into my life and ruin everything?!"
Blake: "You stalked me across Anima! I don't want anything to do with your life!"
Adam proceeds forward and clashes swords with Blake again. Blake leaps up and uses her Semblance to land on the platform above. She looks over the rail and points her pistol down. Suddenly she looks behind and gets hit with hilt of Wilt. Blake swings around and clashes with Adam again. Blake lands on the rail and dodges out of the way of Adam's Semblance, landing on the platform above. Suddenly, Adam reappears and grabs Blake by the throat. He pushes Blake to the edge of the railing, but Blake stomps on his foot and both of them fall over the rail. The two crash through multiple tree branches, breaking their fall back to the ground. The two slowly get back up.
Blake: "Let go of the past, Adam. Do it for yourself."
Adam: "Just forget it all? Is that what you did to me?! You just threw our memories away?!"
Blake: "Adam!"
Adam: "I let you go once already, Blake. I'm never making that mistake again..."
The two former partners take defensive stances, and prepare for battle against each other.
*Now in 1st Person, Azure's POV*
Cordovin controlled the giant Atlesian mech, which trudges through the ocean, and goes after the airship Maria and Weiss are in.
Weiss: (earpiece) "You're joking, right? You want to fight this thing?!"
Ruby: "We've fought giant monsters before. This is just a tiny old lady... with one very big robot."
Cordovin: "You little spider-roaches thought you could creep your way to Atlas?! Well, let's see how your resolve holds out against the might of the Atlesian Military!"
Cordovin prepares to take down the airship with a missile that popped out from a slot on the arm cannon. The missile fires and tracks the airship, but it explodes harmlessly behind it. Cordovin turned to see Ruby with Crescent Rose out. She lowers her weapon and glares at Cordovin while the rest of us get ready to fight.
Cordovin: (growls) "SO BE IT!!"
Cordovin prepares to shoot another missile at us. Maria makes the airship dive and head to our location. When she got to us, the door opened to Weiss with Myrtenaster in her hand. She jumps off and raises her weapon, creating a rock wall, protecting us from Cordovin's ice Dust attack.
Oscar: "That was close."
Ruby: "We need to figure out how to stop Cordovin and protect the airship until we do."
Jaune: "Let's give her more targets to focus on."
Nora: "You mean us, don't you?"
Rosa: "He's right! Look at that thing! It's not designed for small enemies. It's probably meant for giant Grimm that come in from deeper waters."
Vert: "We can turn our size into an advantage. We just have to be smart."
Azure: "Grandma, can you keep the ship out of harm's way?"
Maria: "They can take my driver's license, but I won't let them take this ship!"
Ren: (deadpan) "Very reassuring..."
Oscar: "I'll be more useful if I go with her. From up high, I can try to spot a weakness."
Qrow: "Well, he's not the only one who can grab a bird's eye view." He smiles.
Azure: "I've been working on something that'll allow me to fly as well."
Weiss: "You said you needed me on the ground?" She asked Ruby.
Ruby: "Not exactly." She nervously smiled.
As our team strategizes, I see that Cordovin's keeping an eye on us. After we're done, we split up into three groups: Jaune, Nora, Ren, Vert and Rosa run down the left path along the cliff, Maria and Oscar fly the airship to the right, and Ruby and Qrow fly straight up into the air using her Semblance and his corvid form, respectively. My eyes turn gold as I activate Incarnation and form golden wings on my back, allowing me to fly into the air. Ruby reforms from her Semblance and fires Crescent Rose, cracking the mech's windshield. Cordovin fires a volley of missiles to Ruby's location.
Ruby landed on a tree branch and uses her Semblance to dodge the missiles. She eventually reforms and runs and jumps along the missiles before freefalling down to the ocean. An incoming wave is frozen by Weiss as Ruby slides along it.
Ruby: "Let's go!"
Weiss also slides off the frozen wave before using Myrtenaster to freeze small patches of ice for her and Ruby to leap on toward the mech. As Cordovin kept her attention on them, her mech is suddenly struck by a volley of pink grenades.
Jaune: "Hey! Over here!"
Cordovin: "What?!" She looks over to Jaune's group as they kept running.
Rosa: "Try to catch us if you can!"
Nora: "And you said it wasn't beach season!" She said to Ren.
The five then take cover behind a boulder for each of them. Nora fires off more grenades from Magnhild, but suddenly, a hexagonal shield pattern appears, protecting Cordovin's mech. The grenades did no damage to her.
Cordovin: (laughs) "Surely you knew Atlas was the father of hard-light Dust, or do lesser kingdoms simply lack proper education?" She charges up her mech's arm cannon again, this time firing rock Dust, forcing Jaune's team to abandon their cover.
Jaune: "Cordo just activated shields!"
Oscar: "I saw that. We need to find whatever's generating it."
Ruby: "You know, in video games, the weak spot's usually on the back of the giant boss!"
Azure: "Great idea! I'll try looking there!" I fly past Cordovin as she tries to swat me away, but I was too fast for her.
Weiss: "Ruby, this isn't a game!"
Ruby: "I'm just trying to-- LOOK OUT!!"
Cordovin's mech is stomping at a part of the ocean. Unbeknownst to her, Qrow flies around in his avian form while I fly to the back of the mech.
Cordovin: "You are ants! You are lower than ants!"
As Qrow flies through the clouds, he transforms back into his human form and takes out Harbinger's scythe form. I take my sword out as we both fall forward and grapple onto the giant mech's backside. This caused a thud.
Cordovin: "Ah! What was that?!"
Qrow: "Until the shield's down, we're gonna have to get up close and personal with this thing."
Azure: "I can do that easily."
Qrow starts to fire at the scratch he just made while I stab my sword into the mech three times. Suddenly, we notice the mech's giant hand starting to reach for us. Qrow dodges out of the way, transforming back into his avian form while I take my sword out and fly away from her.
Ren: "That's easier said than done!"
Ruby: "Weiss and I are on it!"
The two land on a patch of ice on the ocean together.
Weiss: "Hold on!" She stabs Myrtenaster into the ice patch, creating an ice attack that knocks Cordovin's mech off balance for a bit. We heard a frustrated yell coming from her. As the airship flies by, Oscar realized something.
Oscar: "Wait, that's it. When she..."
Suddenly, Cordovin aims her cannon at Ruby and Weiss.
Oscar: (gasps) "RUBY, MOVE!!"
Cordovin fires a volley of missiles at Ruby and Weiss, creating a large plume of water. From it, Weiss and Ruby emerge unharmed as they ride Weiss' Queen Lancer summon. Ruby leaps off and uses Cresecent Rose to propel herself onto Cordovin's mech, embedding the scythe's blade into it. The force of Ruby's strike knocks the mech back into the cliffside. Cordovin let's out an enraged scream.
Jaune: "Go!!"
Jaune, Ren, Nora, Vert, and Rosa proceed forward. Ren leaps onto the mech's arm and runs along it, while also using the blades of StormFlower to hang on. Jaune uses the two-handler form of Crocea Mors to slash at the mech's hip joint alongside Vert using his polearm, while Nora uses the hammer form of Magnhild to smash at the arm cannon with some help from Rosa's fiery battle axe. Cordovin manages to stand the mech back up, causing Ruby to be lowered down into her view on the windshield. Ruby hangs on to Crescent Rose as she nervously smiles and waves at Cordovin.
Cordovin: "Get off of me!"
Cordovin tries to grab Ruby with the mech's left hand, forcing Ruby to let go as she uses her Semblance to fly downward. I go to catch her, but Weiss flew past me on her Queen Lancer summon and catches Ruby.
Ruby: "Heh."
Weiss: "What if I hadn't caught you?"
Ruby: "Then Azure would've caught me." She grins widely at Weiss.
Weiss just groans. As we fly around the mech, Ren lowers himself down along the mech's back. He notices a panel with a humming machine sound coming from it. Ren uses one of his blades to pry the panel off, but almost falls as the mech kept moving around. Fortunately, Qrow appears and catches his wrist.
Qrow: "Gotcha. What'd ya find?"
Qrow tosses Ren back up as the both of them look at the panel he just opened. They see a whirring machine with the label "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY, SHIELD GENERATOR" written on top of it.
Qrow: "Well, alright then."
They draw their weapons and shoot at the machinery, disabling the mech's shields.
Cordovin: "No, no, no, no!!" She then feels a tremor as Nora fires a volley of grenades at her and Vert snipes at her.
Nora: "You get back here with my man!"
As Nora and Vert continue firing at Cordovin, Weiss, Ruby, and I fly over to Ren and Qrow.
Weiss: "Jump on!"
The two do so. Nora and Vert continued to fire until they runs out of ammo. Suddenly, Jaune and Rosa notice Cordovin lifting up the mech's arm. They run over to Nora and Vert.
Cordovin: "I've had enough of you ingrates!"
Cordovin slams the mech's arm into Jaune, Nora, Vert, and Rosa, knocking them back and breaking their Auras. The four struggle to get back up. I saw this and turned away from Cordovin.
Azure: "No!"
Suddenly, Weiss gasped as Cordovin fires the mech cannon at our group at point blank range, destroying the Queen Lancer summon and knocking herself, Ren, Qrow and I back over to the cliff. I look around and don't see Ruby, and with my wings gone, I ran towards the cliffside. I look down to see Ruby holding on for dear life with Crescent Rose embedded into the cliffside. I regain my wings and fly down to get Ruby. When I get to her, we notice Cordovin approaching us with her arm cannon aimed at us.
Cordovin: "This is what happens when you think you know better than those rightfully in charge!"
Just as Cordovin is about to fire her arm cannon at us, Maria flies by and fires a missile. Suddenly, the mech grabs the missile with its hand, causing Cordovin to turn the mech around to Maria's direction.
Cordovin: "Calavera..."
All of us watch helplessly as Cordovin throws the missile toward the airship's direction. The missile explodes in front of the airship, causing it to rattle.
*3rd Person, Blake's POV*
Back in the forest, Blake and Adam continue to fight each other intensely. Their blades clang loudly as they clash back and forth. As their blades lock, Blake hears a distant explosion from behind her. Blake's distraction causes her to dodge quickly from Adam's attack. Blake uses the kusarigama form of Gambol Shroud to grapple and swing from tree to tree. Adam gives chase.
Adam: "Can you do anything besides run?!"
Adam then jumps onto a tree trunk and leaps off of it as he continues to pursue Blake, who continues leaping from branch to branch. Adam then fires Wilt and it crashes into Blake's kusarigama just as she was about to grapple onto another tree. Due to her loss of momentum, Adam manages to catch up and slash at her, but he merely just slashes Blake's trench coat off. Blake then kicks off Adam, knocking him back. As Blake lands back on the ground, she fires at Adam, who blocks some of her shots but some manage to still hit him. The two then leap out of the forest and find themselves on a natural stone bridge in front of a waterfall.
The two then clash again, with Blake evading Adam's attacks with her own Semblance. Blake manages to catch Adam's sword with her own cleaver/sheath, leaving Adam to defend himself with Blush. Eventually, Adam catches Blake's wrist and blocks her katana with Blush.
Adam: "I wouldn't have to be doing this if you just behaved!"
Suddenly, Adam grabs his sword and flings away Blake's cleaver, before knocking her in the side of her head with the hilt of Wilt. Blake gets knocked back several feet.
Adam: "But you're SELFISH!!"
He knocks Blake back again.
Adam: "You're a COWARD!"
Again, he knocks her back a few feet.
Blake: "You're delusional...!"
Adam then points his sword at Blake's abdominal scar that he gave her before. Adam then uses his Semblance, which causes Blake's katana blade to break in half. The broken weapon clatters a few feet away from Blake.
Adam then stops to remove the blindfold from his eyes.
Adam: "People hurt me long before we met... All sorts of people in all sorts of ways..." Blake looks away sadly upon hearing this. "But no one hurt me quite like you..."
Blake looks back up to Adam as she sees his own eyes: his right eye a healthy blue eye, his left eye scarred permanently with a brand labeled "SDC".
Adam: "You didn't leave scars, you just left me alone."
As he continues talking, Blake hears a certain motorcycle drawing close.
Adam: "So... tell me, Blake... how does it feel to be alone?"
Blake doesn't pay attention to what Adam says as she hears the noise get closer. Suddenly, Adam raises his sword and lets out a loud yell in fury as he stabs Blake in the abdomen. Suddenly, her form disappears, another Semblance clone. Adam then looks behind him as Blake picks up her cleaver.
Blake: "I'm not alone."
Suddenly, from above the waterfall, Yang drives off the cliff and hurls her motorcycle, which crashes into Adam, knocking him down, before falling off into the river below. Yang lands a few feet away from Blake as she stares down Adam.
Adam: "You..."
Yang fires a shot at Adam, which he blocks. Yang then activates the shotgun in her prosthetic arm.
Blake: "Yang!"
Suddenly, Blake falls to her knee as she holds her stomach in pain.
Yang: "It's okay. Catch your breath for a second. I can hold him off."
Adam: "She's right, Blake. It's okay, we have... unfinished business."
The two combatants stare each other down. Adam makes the first move, delivering a series of quick slashes and Semblance arcs that knock Yang back a short distance. Eventually, Yang starts to strike back, managing to land some hits on Adam that he wasn't able to block.
Yang knocks Adam back a good distance before firing at him. He blocks and absorbs the shots with his sword. Adam then quickly runs in circles around Yang before letting out another Semblance attack that causes Yang to slide back a short distance.
Blake: "His Semblance is like yours! He absorbs energy through his sword, stores it up and then sends it back when he's ready."
Yang: "He gets to dish out damage without having to feel it?" She sighs. "That's just cheap..."
The two proceed to trade blows again. Yang lands a series of punches and kicks on Adam, but he manages to send her back when she punches his sword. Yang gets knocked back next to Blake and the two share a glance with each other. Adam notices this and lets out an angered growl. He readies his Semblance once again.
Blake: "YANG!!"
With a loud yell, Adam lets out a devastating attack with his Semblance. When the smoke clears, Yang is still standing, though her prosethetic arm has some small scrathes in it and her foot barely hangs off the edge of the bridge. She lowers her arm and glares at Adam.
Yang: "Leave. Us. Alone. This is your last chance."
Adam stares back at the two as he grips the hilt of his sword again. Yang's left arm trembles slightly.
Adam: "Heh, do you really believe that? Or are you just trying to scare me away so you won't have to die trying to protect her?"
Yang, angered, prepares to fight him again despite her hand still trembling. Suddenly, Blake takes Yang's hand with her own.
Blake: "She's not protecting me, Adam. And I'm not protecting her."
Adam glares back at the two of them angrily.
Blake: "We're protecting each other."
The two partners stand hand in hand in solidarity as they glare at Adam together. Meanwhile, Nero kept running along a faint path that Yang's motorcycle left behind.
Nero: "I need to get there, quickly!" He uses his Semblance on his feet to make himself go faster, with ice forming on the ground.
———————————————————————
We will pick back up on these two events in the next chapter. A fight against an old lady inside a huge mech? Very typical. Next chapter will wrap up all of this for the finale.
