Your POV

Ruby and I turned a corner and emerged from the service tunnel, only to see with our own eyes that we are far too late. Ruby falls to her knees and said, "Penny..." I helped her up and hugged her as she begins to cry miserably into my shoulder. I rubbed my hand along her back try and comfort her. Suddenly I heard a voice rings out throughout the Colosseum and the rest of the world watching these events. The voice said, "This is not a tragedy. This was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust, your safety, your children, to men who claim to be our guardians, but are, in reality, nothing more than men. Our Academies' Headmasters wield more power than most armies, and one was audacious enough to control both. They cling to this power in the name of peace, and yet, what do we have here? One nation's attempt at a synthetic army, mercilessly torn apart by another's star pupil. What need would Atlas have for a soldier disguised as an innocent little girl? I don't think the Grimm can tell the difference. And what, I ask you, is Ozpin teaching his students? First a dismemberment, now this? Huntsmen and Huntresses should carry themselves with honor and mercy, yet I have witnessed neither. Perhaps Ozpin felt as though defeating Atlas in the Tournament would help people forget his colossal failure to protect Vale when the Grimm invaded its streets. Or perhaps this was his message to the tyrannical dictator that has occupied an unsuspecting kingdom with armed forces. Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue as to who is right and who is wrong. But I know the existence of peace is fragile, and the leaders of our kingdoms conduct their business with iron gloves. As someone who hails from Mistral, I can assure you the situation there is... equally undesirable. Our Kingdoms are on the brink of war, yet we, the citizens, are left in the dark. So I ask you: When the first shots are fired... who do you think you can trust? The screens in the Colosseum cut from red and black to complete static.
I was furious that someone had purposely caused Penny to get killed just to make a point. Then I heard the sound of a wailing alarm throughout the Colosseum. Ruby and I both looked up at the orange flashing screens reading "CAUTION". Then a voice announced, "Alert. Incoming Grimm attack. Threat level: Nine. Please seek shelter in a calm and orderly manner."
The crowds began to flee, wild and screaming, through the exit tunnels, then Ironwood said through the P.A. system, "Ladies and gentlemen, please. There is no need for panic." With that said, a Giant Nevermore appears atop the arena's domed force field, giving a series of deafening screeches as it claws and pecks at the defenses with its beak.

3rd Person POV

Yang was running in the hallways of the dorms with Zwei. Yang responded to Blake through her Scroll, saying, "I'm fine. Is Ruby with you? She's not answering her Scroll." Blake replied, "No, she isn't, and neither is Y/N. Yang, I'm sure she's fine. She's our leader. She can take care of herself. Besides she's probably got Y/N with her."Yang closes her eyes and curls her fist into a ball. Then she replied hesitantly, "Right."

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
