Everything Stays: Frederic Scorch X Yang Xiao Long

Wrath of the Gods

Inside the Argus base, the Atlesian guards watch the screen as Caroline Cordovin's mech is seen trying to swipe at the airship Maria Calavera and Oscar Pine are in.

Cordovin: You just couldn't keep this rivalry between us, could you, Calavera?! You had to rope in children to fail with you!

The guards cheer on their boss as she fires another shot from the mech's arm cannon. Unbeknownst to them, a red dot appears on one of the radar's screens approaching Argus. Back at the cliffside, Ruby Rose is still holding onto Crescent Rose for dear life. Oscar notices this from the airship.

Oscar: Ruby!

Ruby eventually makes her back up to the top of the cliff by using Crescent Rose's blade to climb back up. She regroups with Weiss

Oscar: (over comms) Ruby, can you hear me? Are you guys okay?

Ruby: Are we okay?!

Oscar: I know, we were supposed to lay low, but listen! I think I finally found a weakness!

Nora: Well, we're all ears.

Oscar: The cylinder on Cordo's cannon rotates and locks in a giant Dust cartridge every time she changes attack styles.

Weiss: We noticed.

Oscar: Right, but her missile launcher doesn't lock in, it pops out! Without her shields, one well-placed shot could detonate the missiles while they're still in the launcher!

Jaune: We could destroy the entire cannon... Oscar, that's brilliant!

Nora: Can you... make that kind of shot?

Ruby: We'll only get one chance before she catches on. I'd have to be practically staring down the barrel of her cannon.

Ember: Copy that. Jaune and I will see what we can do. Oscar, Maria. Move in along the waist line. If she wasn't mad before, make her angrier!

Maria: Ha! Easy!

Maria and Ember pilot their ships around the Colossus and continue to fire at it. Ember moves around the back of the ship as Maria stares right down the barrel after picking up Ruby. They gun it towards the mech as Ember provides the only distraction for it.

Oscar: ARE YOU TWO CRAZY?!!

Maria: Sometimes the best approach is simply the most direct!

As the airship moves closer, Ruby gets into position and aims at Cordovin's mech cannon. Cordovin gasps as she pulls up a screen, noticing Ruby and catching on to her plan.

Cordovin: You!

Ruby pulls the trigger, but suddenly, the missile launcher retracts back into the arm cannon and the bullet is deflected. Everyone gasps in shock.

Cordovin: You thought you could fool me?!

She readies the arm cannon again, this time about to fire a lightning Dust attack.

Oscar: Pull up!!

Maria pulls up the airship, but it still gets partially caught in the blast. The rest of the group on the cliff move out of the way. The airship is affected by the electricity, and Maria screams in pain as her prosthetic eyes close shut.

Maria: I can't see! My eyes!

Oscar: No, no, no!!

Maria: Take control!!

Oscar grabs the joystick as he barely gains control of the airship.

Oscar: We're gonna crash! We're gonna CRASH!!
