RWBY: HERO (Volume 1-3)

Chapter 30

After the opening credits, the Dragonflies past the hijacked Atlesian Airship, as Ruby Rose looks on, with the surrounding Griffons roaming the skies. A Griffon lands on the airship, but Ruby easily cuts it down with Crescent Rose, causing to disintegrate into black particles. But suddenly, she hears a snap, turning to see Neopolitan, now changing into her standard attire with a wave of light washing over her from bottom to top, as she winks after taking a picture of Ruby, sending it to a certain crime lord with the following text:

"Guess Who?"

"Oh, you can not be serious!"

Having realized his old foe is interfering yet again, the wanted criminal quickly picks up Melodic Cudgel and walks up to the top of the airship.

Back outside the Beacon grounds, Velvet Scarlatina groans as she struggles to get up, only to get knocked back down when Coco Adel bumps into her after getting knocked away from a Paladin off screen. The camera pans with Neon Katt and Reese Chloris as they dodge and weave between groups of students fighting against the infected Atlesian Knights and Paladins. Yatsuhashi Daichi is seen fighting a Griffon while Flynt Coal uses his trumpet to hold back a Paladin. Weiss Schnee then arrives on the battlefield, but get knocked back another Paladin.

Neptune reach his hand out.

"Weiss!"

Yatsuhashi tries to hold back a Paladin's fist with his sword, but he gets knocked back. The Paladin then turns to and starts approaching a distracted Lie Ren.

"Look out!"

Nora pushes Ren out of the way of the Paladin's incoming strike, taking the hit instead.

"Nora! No!" (he reaches out to her, but gets knocked back by the Paladin too)

Coco and Neptune Vasilias fire their weapons at the Paladin, but it is unfazed.

"Uh, this is bad." says Neptune

"Well, I guess now's a better time than any. Velvet!"

"Really?"

"Just make them count."

Velvet nods. As she walks up to the Paladins, "I May Fall" begins to play in the background.

"What are you doing!? She's going to get hurt!" shouted Weiss.

"Just watch."

With her weapon, Velvet begins to replicate Crescent Rose, as she imitates Ruby's overhead spin, landing on top of the Paladin as she dodges its cannon fire. She then replicates Myrtenaster to deflect the Paladin's punch and land a few blows before pushing it back with the Ember Celica imitation. Once after she lands a few shots, she slides under the Paladin's fist, similar to Blake as she uses the Gambol Shroud copy and uses its string to trip over the mech, before moving to the second Paladin by lopping off its hand, and jabbing it in the head with the cleaver.

Before it can react, it is immediately peppered with imitation bullets, thanks to copying Coco's minigun. As it moves forward, Velvet switches to using Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang as a reference, as she lands another few hits while landing a downward blow from above with a copy of Magnhild, severing a limb.

As the first Paladin attempts to recover, Velvet immediately copies Penny's swords, as she leaps off the second Paladin and slices apart its legs before blasting it at full power. However, the first Paladin sucker punches Velvet.

"Aah!"

"Velvet!"

At this, Coco, Neptune, Nadir, Ebony, and Reese land suppressing fire.
