Ruby is thrown across the floor by Roman. He laughs manically as he walks over to his newest punching bag. "Wow! You are much more manageable without that oversized gardening tool of yours." He stops to lean on his cane and look at Ruby condescendingly. Ruby gets up and charges at Roman with a yell, but he simply sidesteps, sending Ruby stumbling across the floor.

Roman laughs in sheer amusement. "Oh man. You know, Perry, I really did need this." Perry, standing next to two other White Fang members, raises his thumb in agreement as Roman continues laughing.

"But seriously." Roman walks over to Ruby and aims Melodic Cudgel at her. "How'd you find this place, Red?" Ruby growls and uses her Semblance to disappear into the distance. "Whoa!" Roman looks around, briefly startled.

Roman then notices Ruby running away in the distance and he smiles. He stands up, spins his weapon so the handle is aimed at Ruby. He fires the handle, which doubles as a grappling hook, catching Ruby by the hood and allowing him to pull her back.

"I see you've got some tricks up your sleeve! Let me make this clear." Roman uses the grappling hook to drag Ruby across the ground. "We're not through here yet."

Suddenly, A massive explosion sounds, causing Roman to look up. "Oh, what the..." Torchwick turns to his men. "Perry, if you and the boys could take care of that? Kinda in the middle of something."

Perry nods and goes off to investigate the explosion just as another one sounds, shacking the ground slightly and sending dust falling from the ceiling.

"WHAT is going on here?!" Torchwick yells in the direction of the noise, now extremely annoyed.

A third explosion sounds, this time with the blast being visible to Roman, as multiple White Fang members come running around the corner, some firing at an unknown enemy. Roman narrows his eyes at this, and Ruby gets up from the ground and looks on in hope.

Coming around the corner, chasing the White Fang members, emerges Weiss, Blake, Yang, Zwei and Oobleck, much to Roman's annoyance. Noticing that her captors are distracted, Ruby decides to take this moment to escape. She jumps on Roman's shoulders, pulls his hat down over his eyes, and uses him as a springboard to start her dash to reunite with her friends.

Roman readjusts his hat and glares after Ruby. "Somebody kill her!" He and the White Fang members around him open fire on Ruby.

Ruby dodges left and right to avoid being hit by the gunfire, causing Roman to grip his cane in frustration and do his best to snap it in half, only bending it slightly. He turns angrily to the White Fang member next to him. "Attach this cart and spread the word, we're starting the train."

"But we're not finished!" The White Fang Member complains.

Roman pins the White Fang member up against the wall with his cane, the sights aimed strait at the man's head. "Do it or you're finished!"

Ruby is fleeing, but she screeches to a halt as she realizes she's running towards four White Fang members.

As the White Fang Members are about to take fire, a familiar sound of a shotgun shell is heard, followed by an explosion sending the White Fang members flying and revealing Yang behind them.

"Ruby!" Yang yells in joy, as her sister jumps into her arms and is embraced in a hug.

"Are you okay?" Weiss asks in concern.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Ruby hurriedly answers as she is freed from her sisters grasp. "But listen! Torchwick's got all kinds of weapons and robots down there."

"What?!" Blake asks for an explanation as she hands Ruby her weapon.

"Androids, mechs, they're all loaded up on the train cars!" Ruby elaborates as she adjusts her weapon for later use.
