The group reached the cliff, where the Nevermore was circling, waiting their arrival. The group split up to hide behind pillars of stone. Shadow turned to Weiss to tell her his plan.
Shadow: If we're going to get up that cliff, that Nevermore has to die. We have to find a way to hold it in place though.
Weiss: What about the Deathstalker? You know that thing won't stay there forever.
As Weiss said that, the Deathstalker came through the forest. Knocking down trees and running towards the group.
Shadow: (irritated) Come on right now! You have to be kidding me!
Jaune: Aw Crap! Run!
The group started sprinting towards the cliff, making the Nevermore notice them and screeches before beginning it's decent.
Ran: Nora! Distract it!
Nora obliges, running out from her block and jumping through the feather projectiles before reaching behind her and launching several heart-topped shells from her grenade launcher, bursting into pink electricity when they hit the Nevermore and causing it to retreat. She is unaware of the Death Stalker rushing up behind her until Blake and Ren perform a cross-slash with their Gambol Shroud and StormFlower against its shell. Weiss lands next to Nora so she can create a jumping platform beneath them and leap to safety while Blake and Ren are now being chased.
Pyrrha: Go, go! *stops running beside Jaune and gets out Miló, firing red shots alongside Ren's green blasts for a second until it reaches them and tries to swipe, prompting the group to run again*
The eight race over the ancient stone bridge, not noticing the Nevermore closing in on them until it uses its giant wings to shatter the path right in the middle, forcing Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Nora, and Jaune closer to the central collection of columns and leaving Blake, Ren, and Pyrrha on the other side with the Death Stalker. Ruby fires at the retreating Nevermore while Blake is beaten back by the scorpion.
Jaune: *coming to the edge of the break in the bridge* Man, we gotta get over there! They need help!
Nora *running up beside him* Let's do this!
Jaune *looks down at the misty abyss* Yeah, but, uh… I can't make that jump.
Nora smiles diabolically at him, laughing as she knocks him back, turns her weapon to its full-length hammer form, and jumps to the edge of the bridge.
Jaune *seeing what she's about to do* Oh, wait! *too late, she slams the hammer into the bridge and throws Jaune to the other side, yelling* No, no, no!
Nora places one foot on the hammer and fires it off the collapsing section of bridge, launching her to slam its face right in the center of the Death Stalker's skull. She fires it just as the stinger comes down to get her, and blasts back again to avoid its reach, accidentally knocking into Blake and making her fall from the edge.
Shadow: Blake! (Runs to the gap and looks down) Wait, What?!
Shadow watches as Blake uses her weapon as a grappling hook to pull her self up, landing on the Nevermore, and attack the Nevermore with her blades, before jumping off and landing with Ruby, Weiss, and Yang. Shadow soon catches up to them, ready for battle.
Blake: It's tougher than it looks!
Yang: Then we just to give it everything we've got! *Unleashes Ember Cilica*
