(Volume 3 Finale) Chapter 30: The End of the Beginning

Summer: "Annd there, all done." She said, patting Blake's abdomen as she had finished up bandaging her wound. "This should be good enough to stop the bleeding until real doctors take care of you guys." She said with a gentle smile.

After saving them from Adam, Akito had brought Blake and the unconscious Setsuna and Yang to the courtyard of Beacon, where multiple students were gathering to be evacuated to the many shelters that are being set up by Glynda, Atlas Personnel and other authorities in Vale. Summer had managed to temporarily patch up the three girls with her basic medical skills. She was doing her best to remain positive despite the situation but the clear frown of sheer regret on Blake's face never left her. Her eyes never left the unconscious Yang or Setsuna as she felt bad for the fact that Adam injured them both.

Blake: "Yang... Setsuna... I'm so sorry..." She whispered as she held onto both of their hands, while quietly sniffling to herself. Summer's smile disappeared as she lightly sighed and stood up before turning to look at her brother, who was taking a seat, mainly to catch a breather as when he had used all of that Magic, he ended up exhausting himself quite a bit, showing his inexperience with it.

Akito: "How are they?"

Summer: "Physically stable... I'm not sure mentally however..." She spoke. He hummed and nodded at her.

Akito: "Well at least they're alive... That's all that matters." He said as he began to stand up but grunted as he held onto his right shoulder. That fight against Mio, despite him having on the Exia for it, her constantly putting strain on his right side due to him not being able to see from that side, resulted in his shoulder starting to have some noticeable pain in it.

Summer: "You shouldn't be moving up and about too, big bro. You've been overexerting yourself during this entire thing." She scolded.

Akito: "I'm fine Summer. Besides, we don't have time to dilly dally. We need to get to Beacon Tower and find Pyrrha. You said you can't feel Amber's life force either, right Autumn?"

Autumn: "Y-Yeah... It disappeared when we were getting cornered."

Akito: "Then I wasn't imagining things..." He mumbled as he remembered when he had entered that state of sheer focus and determination, or what Winter called, his Semblance, he felt a life force suddenly vanish. "That either means Pyrrha successfully gained her powers or failed... Either way, we need to find her fast."

Spring: "But...!"

Akito: "No buts!" He raised his voice slightly. There was silence before he sighed. He looked over to Winter, who was inspecting Gundam Exia, which was standing there, in standby mode. "How's the Exia looking?"

Winter: "Aside from the right shoulder pad being knocked off, some minor damage to the right arm and the shield being destroyed, Exia should be fine to use. However, I don't think you can use the Trans-Am for a while. You exceeded its operation limit."

Akito: "I see. That's good enough. Let's go. We're gonna find Pyrrha and hopefully... our father's with her. Hopefully everything went smoothly..." He spoke. Summer and Winter both exchanged a glance before nodding and disappearing back into their brother's mindscape. Akito began to approach Exia but paused. He turned around and looked back at Blake silently before taking in a deep breath. He approached her and gently crouched before her. "I'll be back, babe... I promise. I just have to take care of one last thing..." He said before he gently kissed the top of her head. Getting up, he turned around and began walking towards the Exia. But then...

Blake: "Don't die..." he froze for a moment. "Please..." Her tone broke his heart but all he could do was smile warmly and look back at her.

Akito: "No promises." he said and winked towards her before Exia's back opened up, allowing him to jump in. The Gundam's eyes glowed brightly before it took off into the skies and began to head towards Beacon Tower, where the massive Wyvern Grimm was circling around it.
