The Guardian's Ship: Austin's POV

Austin: How we looking Ghost?

Ghost: Ruby and the others have moved to a different location. Estimated time of arrival: 10 minutes.

Austin: Thanks.

Weiss: What happened to your old suit?

Austin: I umm.....

Ghost: We lost everything to the Red Legion when the Tower fell.

Weiss: Ouch. So no fancy guns, no giant ship, no powers?

Austin: Well we still have our powers. Unfortunately Yang, Ruby, and I are the last Guardians alive....I think.

Weiss just blinked, not really knowing what to say. I don't blame her. It's an odd yet dangerous situation.

Ghost: Well Guardian. I found a few things lying around the farm.

Austin: Such as?

Ghost: A few guns and a set of armor.

Austin: Really? Show me.

Ghost: We'll have to wait till we get out. It's too crowded in here anyways.

Austin: Good point.

Ghost: Something's wrong.

Austin: What?

Weiss: What's wrong now?

Ghost: It's Ruby. Someone's hurt but she won't say who.

Austin: Dammit!

Ghost: Step on it!

Weiss: Wait! I'm not even-.

I pulled the throttle, accelerating the ship.

Weiss: YOU IDIOT!

A few minutes later. Oniyuri.

I teleported out of the ship as I saw the group, a person on the ground. Ruby and the others have worried looks.

Austin: What's going on?

I moved Nora and Ren aside to see Ruby's uncle, a stab wound on his side as a mix of blood and toxins leaked from him.

Ruby: Uncle Qrow is hurt. He needs a hospital.

Qrow: I'm fine.

I looked at the wound. Something clearly injected him.

Austin: Ghost. Scan the wound.

Qrow: I said I'm fine. *cough*

Ghost emerged from my head, scanning the wound.

Ghost: There is a neurotoxin present in his bloodstream.

Austin: How long?

Ghost: Judging by the spread, not too long ago.

Ruby: We were fighting a man. A scorpion faunus.

Ghost: That would explain it.

Austin: Where'sthe nearest hospital?

Qrow: Look kids.

He stood up and bowed, acting the pain off.

Qrow: I'll make it alright?

He nearly collapsed as Yang grabbed him.

Yang: Vale, but it's gone.

Austin: Shit.

Out of impulse, I had an idea. I thought of the first place to take him.

Austin: Ghost. Get the ship here.
