In an alley down in Mantle, Tyrian stood before Robyn, Clover, Panne and Qrow, all with their weapons drawn.
Clover: Tyrian Callows, you're under arrest.
Tyrian began laughing maniacally, and Qrow angrily ran forward and swung his sword. Tyrian blocked with his blades, but the impact knocks him into a wall. Qrow slashes at him again, but Tyrian ducks and attempted to kick Qrow's feet out from under him, only for Qrow to jump over his leg. Tyrian rushed forward to stab Qrow, who blocked with his sword and then slashed at him. Tyrian dodged acrobatically, standing on his hands, then turning over and leaping into the air to stab down at Qrow with both weapons, but Qrow once again blocked with the flat of his sword. Tyrian hopped down, and Qrow swung his sword at him, missing due to Tyrian ducking down and propelling himself backward with his guns.
Tyrian began slashing at Qrow, but Clover hooked one of the blades with Kingfisher and pulled his arm away, causing him to turn around just in time to catch one of Robyn's crossbow bolts just short of piercing between his eyes. He at first looked startled but then grinned smugly and turned back to Qrow, who punched him directly in the right eye, sending him stumbling. Qrow then kneed him in the gut, turns his sword in his hand, and slams the end of the hilt into Tyrian's chest, knocking him away. Qrow turned his sword back around in his grip, and Tyrian slided to a stop and growled angrily.
He looked over at Clover, Panne and Robyn, then grinned at Qrow. He then ran toward them while firing his guns at Qrow, who spinned his sword to block the bullets. Tyrian leaped and slashed at Clover, who turned to the side to dodge before leaning backward to dodge a slash from Tyrian's tail. Tyrian slashed at him with his weapons, and Clover took a step past him and leaned back to go under Tyrian's attacks while grabbing the hook of his own weapon. As he moves behind Tyrian and straightens up, he maneuvered his pole and the hook to loop the fishing pole's wire around Tyrian's left arm and pulled on it. Qrow then leaped and slashed down at Tyrian, who blocked with his weapon on his right arm.
Qrow quickly pulled his sword away and punched Tyrian in the cheek, causing Tyrian to turn away. Tyrian put his right hand on the ground seemingly to catch himself but then brought his feet up and used his right hand to push himself up into the air. He pulled his left arm free of Kingfisher's line, turned upside down and kicked both Qrow and Clover in the head simultaneously. While the two recoiled from his attack, Tyrian stabbed his blades into the ground to catch himself and then pushed off, flying up through the air while Robyn aimed her crossbow at him.
He landed on a large pipe connected to a wall, and she fired a bolt at him, only for him to swipe it away with his tail. He turned toward Robyn, but Clover hooked his tail with Kingfisher and pulled him down. While Tyrian was on the ground, Qrow swung at him, but Tyrian rolled out of the way and got to his feet. Qrow began slashing his sword at him, but Tyrian dodged his attacks by jumping, ducking, stepping aside, and finally leaning back away from an attempted stab. Qrow tossed his sword into the air, the sections of the blade splitting from each other, and Tyrian watched it. While Tyrian was distracted, Qrow kicked him in the back of the head and then catched his sword.
The kick sended Tyrian stumbling across the alley to slam into a wall. He glared at Qrow, his eyes glowing purple, then moved aside as Qrow attempted to kick him in the face. Low to the ground, Tyrian moved past Qrow, who was now holding his weapon backwards with the blade curved. They turned to face each other, and once again, Clover hooked Tyrian's tail with Kingfisher and pulled, dragging Tyrian backward and giving Qrow an opening to punch him in the cheek. Tyrian went flying through the air but managed to land on his feet. He launched himself forward in an attempt to stab Qrow with his weapons, but Qrow blocked with his blade. Robyn fired two bolts, both of which ricochet off of pipes. Panne used this chance to attack Tyrian who moved his head to dodge the first, but the second ricochets off of Qrow's weapon and striked him in the chin, making his Aura flicker. Panne charged forward and kicked him in his gut with her sharp claws and made a salto.
