~Ruby~

Ruby is thrown to the ground as Roman laughs and stalks her.

"Wow! You are much more manageable without that oversized gardening tool of yours." Roman mocked.

Ruby gets up and charges at Roman, which he simply sidesteps, sending Ruby stumbling across the floor.

"Oh man. You know, Perry, I really did need this." Roman remarks with a smirk.

Perry raises his thumb in agreement as Roman laughs.

"But seriously. How'd you find this place, Red?" Roman scowled.

Ruby glared at the villain before bursting away, rose petals fluttering to the floor, surprising Roman.

Smiling, Roman stands up, spins Melodic Cudgel in his hands, and aims the handle at Ruby. He fires the handle, which doubles as a grappling hook, at Ruby, catching her by her hood and allowing Roman to pull her back.

"I see you've got some tricks up your sleeve! Let me make this clear: We're not through here yet." He said, his hook pulling the young Huntress in before massive explosion sounds, causing Roman to look up.

"Oh, what the... Perry, if you and the boys could take care of that? Kinda in the middle of something." Roman called to him.

Perry nods and goes off to investigate the explosion just as another one sounds.

"WHAT is going on here?!" The villain shouted in irritation

A third explosion sounds and multiple White Fang members come running around the corner, some firing at an unknown enemy.Weiss, Blake, Yang, Zwei and Oobleck run around the corner, much to Roman's annoyance. Ruby decides to take this moment to try and escape. She jumps on Roman's shoulders, pulls his hat down over his eyes, and then flees towards her friends.

"Somebody kill her!" Roman snapped.

Roman and the White Fang members around him open fire on Ruby, which she dodges and weaves towards her friends.

"Attach this cart and spread the word: We're starting the train." He ordered one Fang member.

"But we're not finished!" The member complained.

"Do it or you're finished!" Roman growled, shoving Melodic Cudgel under the faunus's throat.

As Ruby flees, she screeches to a halt as she realizes she's running towards a group of White Fang members. A huge explosion appears behind the White Fang members, sending them flying and revealing Yang behind them.

"Ruby!" Yang shouts as she catches her sister and holds her close.

"Are you okay?" Weiss asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine! But listen! Torchwick's got all kinds of weapons and robots down there." Ruby informs them.

"What?!" Blake asks, handing the young leader her weapon.

"Androids, mechs, they're all loaded up on the train cars!" Ruby replied.

"Ahhhh, that's ridiculous. These tunnels are sealed, the tracks lead to a dead-end." Oobleck comments.

"Get to your places, we are leaving now!" Roman's voice echoes from the loudspeakers as the train begins to move.

"Well, it sounds like they're going somewhere." Yang pointed out.

"We need backup. Let me call Jaune." Ruby says as she pulls our her scroll, only for it to flash and say low signal.

"I can't get through!" Ruby says in defeat.

"So, what do we do?" Weiss asked.

"I believe we only have one option..." Oobleck says.
