In Haven's Cross-Continental Transmit Tower, Claire, with her invisibility Semblance activated, swiftly takes out a rogue Tengu guarding a bomb.

Claire:
(whisper) It's clear

Claire notices that one was left unguarded, but believes that the rogue Tengu got careless. She looks down at the situation and sees the White Fang near Haven Academy.

Claire: We'd better hurry....




Ruby and Yang are facing off against Emerald and Mercury. The half-sisters switch positions and leap forward to take on their opponents. Yang knocks into Emerald while Ruby takes on Mercury. He uses his left boot to kick Ruby's scythe out of her hands, and proceeds to mock her sarcastically.

Mercury: Uh oh, what're you gonna do now?

Mercury tries to throw a left cross, but Ruby ducks and headbutts him upwards - in a similar manner to what Ozpin taught her what to do. Mercury steps a few feet backwards and holds his nose in pain, before growling at Ruby, who picks up her scythe nonchalantly.

Ruby: Whatever it takes to shut you up.

Meanwhile, Nora is seen holding her hammer up defensively protecting Jaune, who is still healing Weiss.

Nora: You guys doing okay?

Jaune: I-I think so. She's coming to. I just wish this would go faster.

Nora: How about you don't complain and just be thankful you unlocked your Semblance when you did.

Jaune: My Semblance?

Nora: How else do you think you're healing her, dummy?

Jaune stares back at her in disbelief before looking back down at Weiss.

Jaune: No. I don't think I'm healing her. Our Aura heals our bodies. It feels... it feels more like I'm using my Aura to amplify hers!

Nora: Wait, aren't you worried about running out?

Jaune: Pyrrha once told me I've got a lot of it. I still believe her.

Suddenly, Weiss opens up her eyes, stirring from her sleep.

Weiss: Jaune

Nora smiles before standing guard again. Meanwhile, Ren is taking on Hazel, who punches the former back into the wall. Hazel then launches an electrical charge from his lightning-Dust enhanced arm, electrocuting Ren, causing him to scream in pain before falling to the ground.

Nora: REN!!

Jaune: Go! I've got her!

Nora nods at him before proceeding forward.

Weiss: Jaune... what's happening?

Jaune: You took a heavy hit, you need to stay with me while the others fight.

Weiss: That's.... annoying.

Jaune: Heh, good to have you back, Weiss.

Qrow and the Timekeeper are facing Salem's Apprentice. They tried outmaneuvering her by using a pincer movement, but she managers to see right through them. They both swing their respective weapons at her, but the girl blocks all with great effort before she counterattacks, kneeing the Timekeeper in the stomach hard and kicking Qrow away with a roundhouse kick, knocking him back into the wall and then falls to the ground next to the downed Ren, who struggles to get back up as well.

Oscar, with Ozpin in control, uses his cane to block flaming rocks being fired from Lionheart's weapon. Sky, still in his Stormlight disguise, charges forward as he aims his weapon at Lionheart and then firing his shirasaya katana out of his sheath. Leo manages to deflect the katana out of the way, but Sky activates his Semblance and catches his weapon in mid-air and proceeds to fight the traitorous headmaster in the terrace at the top of the stairs.
