The lieutenant charged at Kai swinging his chainsaw blade with ferocity, left, right, left, up, diagonal, right again. But Kai met each and every one of the blows with his own strike from Raze. The lieutenant grunted and gave a mighty wing at Kai's head. Kai parried the strike, directing the blade away from the lieutenant with Raze, leaving him completely open. Using this opening, Kai brought Raze back down with a heavy blow, then another and another. He then executed a spinning kick to the back of the lieutenant's head causing the giant to fall face down to the floor.

Kai stepped back, his blade resting on his shoulder, "Come on man, is that all you got?" The White Fang Lieutenant got up with a grunt, "I'm...going...to KILL YOU!". With a burst of energy he charged once more towards the blazing huntsman, who simply side stepped the attack and instead slashed at his back. Grunting in pain, the lieutenant turned again with another attack, but the result was the same. Each blow he dealt with his blade was dodged easily and the huntsman would counter with a strike of his own. Having taken a lot of damage, the lieutenant knelt on one knee, panting heavily.

Kai: "You know you're even worse off now that you were before. You're not thinking straight. Your attacks have become sluggish"

Lieutenant: "AAAAAARRRGH! SHUT UUUUP!!" Kai's eyes widened as the lieutenant seemingly grew bigger, his arms bulged even more and became filled with veins which looked ready to burst at any moment. The chainsaw blade that he was dragging around before, was easily lifted with one arm.

Kai: "Uh-oh, he's really pissed off now" He raised his blade just in time to block a strike from the chainsaw, but the sheer power of the attack was so much that it sent Kai flying and crashing into the door at the end of the train car. Kai got up and examined his opponent, who was slowly approaching him now, 'The speed and strength of his attacks have gone way up, and he's thinking clearly now, he's not rushing at me like before. He's being cautious'. He closed his eyes, cracked his neck and then reopened them to reveal glowing golden orbs. He then readied his blade which was now on fire.

Kai smiled, "Alright, big guy, let's dance" The two charged at each other at high speeds, and began to clash their blades with high intensity.  As Kai dodged a strike, the lieutenant's large beefy hand shot out to grab him by the throat. He raised Kai into the air and gave him a headbutt, before slamming him in the ground, raising his chainsaw blade with the other hand to deliver a final strike. Kai kicked upwards at the lieutenant's jaw, using the momentum to execute a backflip to get to his feet.

Kai: "Ow" he held his to his head, as he looked up again, a giant fist connected directly with his jaw, sending him crashing into the door once more. As the lieutenant stalked towards his opponent again, the boy got up, slowly, his head faced downwards to floor. When Kai raised his head, he wasn't smiling anymore. In fact, he looked pissed.

The lieutenant struck at Kai with his blade, but Kai simply moved his own blade, and with a clean swing, cut the chainsaw blade in half. The lieutenant stared in disbelief at his broken weapon, but before he could fully register what had happened, a flaming fist came from beneath to smash into his jaw, sending him flying upwards crashing into the ceiling. As he fell back down, time seemed to slow, as his huge mass was seemingly paused in midair. Kai took a stance ready to swing, his two hands tightly gripping Raze, whose flames burned more intently. His eyes gleamed brightly, the golden color converting to red for a second before returning, and then he struck. A mighty slash from Raze straight to the lieutenant's torso. The force of the strike blew away everything in front of him, the lieutenant, the machinery, nothing in the car remained standing. The lieutenant himself crashed through the doors, landing in the next car, startling Weiss and Blake who had just finished detaining Roman Torchwick.

Kai took a deep breath, and rested Raze on his shoulder, "Damn, I really underestimated that guy" He stepped into the next car to meet the girls. Upon getting there he noticed that the motionless body of the white fang lieutenant, had begun to shrink. It shrunk to its original size, and then the body began to thin out. Kai watched as the once beefy man was now as thin as a skeleton.

Blake: "What happened to him?"

Weiss: "Uh, you didn't kill him did you?"

Kai: "I don't...think so? He used some weird ability to power up, it must have had some nasty side effects. Anyway, you guys done here?"

Blake: "Yeah. Where's Yang?" Kai looked back at the room he just came from. Yang was battling in the car beyond that, "Right, I'll go get her"

When Kai stepped into the car, he saw Yang lying on the floor. There was no sign of Neo anywhere. But most importantly there was a woman dressed in red, about to leave through a red portal. A woman that looked somewhat familiar to him.

Kai: "Hey! Stop!" If the woman had heard him she didn't listen, as she stepped through the portal without even looking back at him, and the portal closed. His attention then went to Yang who was already getting up, and he immediately rushed over to her.

Kai: "Yang are you alright?"

Yang: "I-I'm fine, I'm okay" She finally got to her feet fully. Kai decided to ask, "What was that? Who was that?"

Yang: "Who?"

Kai: "The woman in red. Who was that?"

Yang: "You...you saw her too?"

Kai: "She left through some portal thing as soon as I got here" Yang sighed, "I don't...I'm not sure who that was. But I think...I think it was my mother"

Kai: "What? Your mom? Why?"

Yang: "Not right now, we have a job to do. But I'll tell you all about it later, I promise". Kai nodded, "Alright then, the others are waiting on us". After meeting up with Weiss and Blake and disabling all the bombs, from the control room the group made their way towards the front of the train. Opening a hatch and moving to the roof the train, they saw Ruby there already at the head of the train and ran over to her.

Kai: "Where's Dr.Oobleck?"

Ruby: "He's taking care of the mechs. Turns out he's a really good fighter"

Blake: "We have a problem" She pointed towards the front where the train was currently approaching a dead end, like they predicted earlier. They were about to crash.

Yang: "What do we do?". Ruby nodded at Weiss, who smiled and then stabbed her weapon into the floor, completely encasing the students in layers of solid ice. There was a loud smashing sound as the train crashed through the barricade.

The five students were thrown out all over the floor. Though the ice absorbed the impact of the crash, it didn't really help with the fall. They groaned and grunted, shaking off the fatigue that currently gripped them.

Kai stood up slowly and took a look at them. His eyes widened. There were people. People everywhere, alla round them. They had stopped whatever they were doing and were now watching the students who had just crashed in through the floor. Kai realized immediately, that they were in Vale.

Kai: "No no no, this is bad..." As he spoke, a King Taijitu emerged its black head from the hole which the students had crashed through. And it wasn't alone. The grimm hoarde that had been following the train were now running throuigh the streets of Vale. The resounding alarm that was played by the city's P.A. sytem was drowned by the screams of pure terror which could be heard from practically every direction as the people who had been staionary with confusion before, now ran for their lives.

Team RWBY and Kai looked at each other and then at the city with despair clearly visible on their faces. They had just unleashed hell on Vale.
