In the underground, Ruby had been thrown across the floor by Roman.
Roman: *laughs* Wow! You are much more manageable without that oversized gardening tool of yours.
Ruby got up and charged at Roman, which he simply sidestepped, sending Ruby stumbling across the floor.
Roman: *laughs* Oh man. You know, Perry, I really did need this. Good thing that Black isn't here.
Perry raised his thumb in agreement as Roman laughed.
Roman stopped laughing, walked over to Ruby and aimed his Melodic Cudgel at her.
Roman: But seriously. How'd you find this place, Red?
Ruby growled and used her Semblance to escape Roman and started running for an exit.
Roman: *looks around, briefly startled* Whoa!
Smiling, Roman stood up, spinned Melodic Cudgel in his hands, and aimed the handle at Ruby. He fired the handle, which doubled as a grappling hook, at Ruby, catching her by her hood and allowed Roman to pull her back.
Roman: I see you've got some tricks up your sleeve! Let me make this clear: We're not through here yet.
Suddenly, a massive explosion sounded, causing Roman to look up.
Roman: Oh, what the... Perry, if you and the boys could take care of that? Kinda in the middle of something.
Perry nodded and went off to investigate the explosion just as another one sounded.
Roman: *annoyed* WHAT is going on here?!
A third explosion sounded and multiple White Fang members came running around the corner, some firing at an unknown enemy. Weiss, Blake, Yang, Byleth Zwei and Oobleck ran around the corner, much to Roman's annoyance. Ruby decided to take this moment to try and escape. She jumped on Roman's shoulders, pulled his hat down over his eyes, and then fled towards her friends.
Roman readjusted his hat and glared after Ruby.
Roman: Somebody kill her!
Roman and the White Fang members around him opened fire on Ruby, which she dodges and weaved between. He turned angrily to the White Fang member next to him.
Roman: Attach this cart and spread the word: We're starting the train.
White Fang Member: But we're not finished!
Roman pinned the White Fang member up against the wall with Melodic Cudgel.
Roman: Do it or you're finished!
The shot cuts to Ruby fleeing, but screeched to a halt as she realized she's running towards a group of White Fang members. A huge yellow-green explosion appeared behind the White Fang members, sending them flying and revealing Yang and Byleth behind them.
Yang: Ruby!
Ruby jumped into Yang's arms with Byleth ruffle Ruby's hair.
Byleth: They didn't hurt you, right?
Weiss: Are you okay?
Ruby: I'm fine, I'm fine! But listen! Torchwick's got all kinds of weapons and robots down there.
Blake: What?! *hands Ruby her weapon*
Ruby: Androids, mechs, they're all loaded up on the train cars!
Oobleck: Ahhhh, that's ridiculous. These tunnels are sealed, the tracks lead to a dead-end.
Roman: *across a speaker system* Get to your places, we are leaving now!
