Caroline Cordovin controls the giant Atlesian mech, which trudges through the ocean, and goes after the airship Maria Calavera, Watari Yoshisada and Weiss Schnee took before.

Weiss: You're joking, right? You want to fight this thing?!

Ruby: We've fought giant monsters before. This is just a tiny old lady... with one very big robot.

Watari: A robot that could kill us! This is a terrible plan!

Silver: I'm getting Pacific Rim vibes.

Cordovin: You little spider-roaches thought you could creep your way to Atlas?! Well, let's see how your resolve holds out against the might of the Atlesian Military!

Cordovin prepares to take down the airship with a missile that pops out from a slot on the arm cannon. The missile fires and tracks the airship, but suddenly, it explodes harmlessly just right behind it. Cordovin turns to see Ruby with her Crescent Rose. Ruby lowers her weapon and glares at Cordovin while the others get ready to fight.

Cordovin: (growls) SO BE IT!!

Cordovin prepares to shoot the missile at Ruby and the others. Weiss, Watari and Maria sees Cordovin doing so in shock.

Watari: Maria!

Weiss: Dive!

Weiss unbuckles her seatbelt and gets off from her seat while Maria dives for the landing. As Maria heads to the others, Weiss and Watari approach the airship door with Myrtenaster in her hand. They jump off and Weiss raises her weapon creating a rock wall and protecting the group from Cordovin's ice Dust attack.

Watari turns Super Saiyan and looks at the others.

Oscar: That was close.

Ruby: We need to figure out how to stop Cordovin and protect the airhsip until we do.

Jaune: Let's give her more targets to focus on.

Nora: You mean us, don't you?

Jaune: Look at that thing. It's not designed for small enemies. It's probably meant for giant Grimm that come in from deeper waters. We can turn our size into an advantage. We just have to be smart.

Pyrrha: He's right. If we can get her frustrated just enough--

Watari: She'll be completely exposed to a few surprising attacks.

Ruby: Okay. Silver, Terry and Watari. You guys fly around her and hit whenever you got a chance, but be careful.

S&T&W: Right.

The remaining members of SDOW&T turn Super Saiyan and flew towards her.

Ruby: Maria, can you keep the ship out of harm's way?

Maria: They can take my driver's license, but I won't let them take this ship!

Ren: (deadpan) Very reassuring...

Oscar: I'll be more useful if I go with her. From up high, I can try to spot a weakness.

Qrow: Well, he's not the only one who can grab a bird's eye view. (smiles)

Raven: I agree. (smiles)

Weiss: (to Ruby) You said you needed me on the ground?

Ruby: Not exactly. (nervously smiles)

As the team strategizes, Cordovin keeps an eye on their location keenly. Suddenly, her eyes widen as the group splits into three: Jaune, Nora Pyrrha, and Ren run down the left path along the cliff, Maria flies the airship to the right, and Ruby, Raven and Qrow fly straight up into the air using her Semblance and their corvid form, respectively. Ruby reforms from her Semblance and fires Crescent Rose, cracking the mech's windshield and causing Cordovin to growl. She fires a volley of missiles to Ruby's location.
