Gen POV
You have got to be kidding me right now. Did we just doom all of Argus? I don't even know whose fault this could be? No. It is every single one of our fault for this. The radio started to blare with soldiers trying to make sense of the situation and gain control. Then Cordovin started to speak "This is your fault. Do your hear me?" Then we hear a voice we all miss "Ruby". We turn to see the people that were missing. Ruby wanted to ask them if they are okay but all of them were more interested in the robot behind us. Blake asked us the million lien question "What happened?"
I responded with "Shit went very very south." Then a massive roar was heard. Yang asked "Was that a giant Grimm?" And Weiss follows up in a blunt tone "Yes, and we just ruined the only thing capable of stopping it." We started to act fast, we each got into the airship, taking my car with out properly pinning it down and as far back as it could be. We started to head out, I look to inspect Blake, Yang and Neo. Yang had some gashes in her robot arm, Blake now had shorter hair than before with a shorter left pant leg. Neo had a more worrying change, she had a piece of cloth around her left hand. When I asked about it, it turned out someone from Blake's past had stabbed Neo through the hand. She would explain more at a later time. I went to my car and brought out the medical kit I got from Mistral. I go to Neo, and once she sees the medical kit, gives her left hand to me. I remove the cloth, definitely a bit of Blake's clothing. I remove it and it is coated in blood. I try my best to clean it, but it is all the way through. I gave her a wood popsicle stick I found in there so she doesn't chip a tooth from clenching her teeth in the pain. After cleaning it, I wrap it up with bandage as slowly and tightly as I could. When it was over I looked at her as she removed the stick. She smiled at me, and then I just hug her. Tightly. Whispering things like how I am sorry and how I wished I could have helped sooner. She just responded by hugging tighter. In the background Cordovin's cries began to become quieter as we left. I look to see Yang, Blake, and Ruby having an emotional moment. Then Maria spoke up " 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 strait for it. We may not get another chance like this."
Yang was the first to respond with "No way."
Weiss continues with "We can't leave, not like this."
Blake finishes it off with "It's like you said, a Huntress is supposed to protect others to the bitter end."
Maria looks at Ruby with a questionable look which Ruby responds with a pose that says "Oh well".
Maria smiles before turning back. Ruby starts to tell us her plan. Jaune and Ren would mask the ship so we can get as close to the Leviathan. When Jaune asks if she has any ideas, she responds with "I got one." Then Qrow alerts everyone that the Leviathan is back. I go to the cockpit and I see it rise above the water. Yeah that robot has got to be the only thing able to stop that thing. It roars into the air as it starts to walk to Argus. The radio lights up about a hard-light shield. Then poles came out of the sea and form a wall. First the Leviathan stopped after hitting it. Some of the air ships fired missiles but it does nothing. Then it blasted something out of its mouth, either fire of electricity. The moment it hit a pole, the outer wall collapsed. Oscar said what had to be on everyone's mind at that moment "It tore straight through." The radio chatters starts up again to start evacuating Argus. This was when Ruby tore straight to the radio, then said something I could not believe. "We can weaken it enough for you to attack it." WHAT!? ARE YOU SERIOUS? WE HAVE BARELY MANAGE TO KILL GRIMM THE SIZE OF ITS TOE. HOW IN ALL OF REMNANT CAN WE EVEN WEAKEN IT? Jaune decided to say what was in all of our minds "We can?"
Ruby responds with "I can." Maria looks at Ruby before asking "Ruby, when I said trial by fire--"
"I did it at Beacon and at the farm." Ruby what did you do?
"You really think you can do it now?" asked Weiss, concern that Ruby is about to do... whatever she is about to do.
She looks at all of us before saying "I don't have a choice."
Then the radio came on again. The voice saying how we are entirely on our own. Ruby says back we will do it ourselves if we had to. This is when we started to make our push to the Leviathan. Ren and Jaune help to mask the ship from the Grimm as we got closer to it. We try to get to it before it got to the next wall, but we are to late as it destroys both it and a building behind it. We still needed to stop it.
So Ruby tells us to try to distract it from the city on to us. At the same time Weiss will use the bug thing to move Ruby as close to the Leviathan as possible. Me, Yang and Nora started to fire our weapons at it, I mostly aimed for the eyes. Ruby got infront of it and closed her eyes. Then the Leviathan stopped paying attention to us. Then it got closer and closer to Ruby. With her as its goal, then I swear I saw the lantern on her hip. I look to Oscar to see... it is gone. Oh Crap. Yang has already tried to warn Ruby, but half way through, something happened. A massive white/silver light covered the area. My vision turns to a white/silver tint. Something in my head suddenly clicked in me. Ruby. Ruby was the one who did all of that, that white tint at Beacon, at Haven, and now at Argus. When if finally dimmed down, most of the airborne Grimm are now falling, evaporating corpses with the Leviathan now being a statue. Everyone started to cheer, we saved the day. Then the top of its head broke free, now its trying to get free from its "stone" prison. Then on speaker we heard "I'll take it from here!" We turn to see Cordovin coming around the bend, no longer pinned due to detaching the cannon and turning her remaining arm into a ... DRILL? Before stabbing it into the Leviathan. It struggle for a while till it got deep enough and evaporated. She opened up the hull, sharing an exchange with Ruby before going to help her soldiers. Weiss brought Ruby back to the airship where we celebrated.
But, before we could leave a massive chain of roars were heard. We turn to see.... so many airborne Grimm. I felt my eye twitch, then I got visions. Vision of every hardship and set back we have been through. Me getting poisoned, getting stuck in rubble, the sounds of the two that got ripped apart by an Ursa, seeing Penny almost getting ripped apart, and finally seeing Pyrrha almost die. I opened my eyes, grabbed Ruby's weapon and before anyone can stop me. I fired a round at one Grimm, it left behind a trace line of white. When it entered the Grimm, for less than a second, it started bouncing from Grimm to Grimm. Each one for only a second before coming out even faster into a different one. It even went to where the other Atlas soldiers were fighting, hitting each Grimm. When it finally finished, all of the Grimm immediately exploded and evaporated. I finally blink and my eyes kinda burn, and I feel like I had just sprinted for 50 minutes. My arms go slack as Crescent Rose's barrel hits the edge of the air ship. Everyone just stares at me before Maria says, in almost a whisper, "Another one?" At this point I eventually get my energy back and turn to look at them. I look to Ruby and asked "Was that a special round or ..... was that me?" I turn to look out, I can feel every single person in a 50 mile radius staring at us. I get up, gave Crescent Rose back to Ruby and just asked Maria "Can we... just .. go?" Maria nodded silently before turning and leaving. Heading straight to Atlas as quickly as we could before more shit goes south.
Author's Note:
I really did not expect me to be able to finish Volume 6 this early. I kinda expected to finish it by Christmas of 2020. But, no matter. Anyway I would like to apologize for the lack of consistency. I am quite terrible on planning things. I just write chapters whenever I feel like I could. Writer's block or laziness. Either way, I do hope you enjoy this book so far. Now as to Volume 7, I plan to deviate from it a tad bit. I am going to both use both Rooster Teeth's official version with the changes the youtuber Twiins iink used so that team RWBY is more important to the plot.
Twiins iink Video:
The changes are at around 20:58. Now I am really nervous actually talking to someone else that is a content creator. They by far need the attention more than me. A fat bastard sitting in there room at midnight wondering about their future when they can't do simple shit in the present. And its due to this fear of talking to people I am just going off of a hope that they would allow me to use the changes they use to rewrite Volume 7. And if they at all some how notice me using their version of Volume 7 and would like me to not. Just comment or text me or something. Knowing me I probably write chapter 1 of Volume 7 by October of something. P.S. I do agree with your points on how RWBY seem to be treated as if they are supposed to be the side characters while also being the protagonist at the same time. I would also like to apologize for any spelling mistakes as I mostly write these things either really early in the day or really late.
