D-RWBY: Volume. 6

The Lady in the Shoe

Cordovin controls the giant Atlesian mech, which trudges through the ocean, and goes after the airship Maria, Dark and Weiss took before.

Weiss: You're joking, right? You want to fight this thing?!

Daniel: We've fought giant monsters before, and I punched a Nevermore straight through its body with my bare hands. This is just a tiny old lady... with one very big robot.

Cordovin: You little spider-roaches thought you could creep your way to Atlas?! Well, let's see how your resolve holds out against the might of the Atlesian Military!

Cordovin prepares to take down the airship with a missile that pops out from a slot on the arm cannon. The missile fires and tracks the airship, but suddenly, it explodes harmlessly just right behind it. Cordovin turns to see Ruby with her Crescent Rose. Ruby lowers her weapon and glares at Cordovin while the others get ready to fight.

Cordovin: (growls) SO BE IT!!

Cordovin prepares to shoot the missile at Ruby and the others. Weiss, Dark and Maria sees Cordovin doing so in shock.

Weiss: Dive!

Weiss unbuckles her seatbelt and gets off from her seat while Maria dives for the landing. As Maria heads to the others, Weiss and Dark approaches the airship door with Weiss holding the Myrtenaster in her hand. They both jumps off and Weiss raises her weapon creating a rock wall and protecting the group from Cordovin's ice Dust attack.

Oscar: That was close.

Ruby: We need to figure out how to stop Cordovin and protect the airhsip until we do.

Jaune: Let's give her more targets to focus on.

Nora: You mean us, don't you?

Dark: Look at that thing. It's not designed for small enemies. It's probably meant for giant Grimm that come in from deeper waters. We can turn our size into an advantage. We just have to be smart.

Jaune: Well, it's easy for you to say.

Ruby: Maria, can you keep the ship out of harm's way?

Maria: They can take my driver's license, but I won't let them take this ship!

Daniel: I'll take that as a yes.

Ren: (deadpan) Very reassuring...

Oscar: I'll be more useful if I go with her. From up high, I can try to spot a weakness.

Dark: I'll go with you too, Oscar.

Qrow: Well, he's not the only one who can grab a bird's eye view. (smiles)

Weiss: (to Ruby) You said you needed me on the ground?

Ruby: Not exactly. (nervously smiles)

Daniel: Alright, here's the plan...

As the team strategizes, Cordovin keeps an eye on their location keenly. Suddenly, her eyes widen as the group splits into three: Jaune, Nora and Ren run down the left path along the cliff, Maria flies the airship to the right, and Ruby, Daniel and Qrow fly straight up into the air with Ruby using her Semblance and his corvid form, respectively. Ruby reforms from her Semblance and fires Crescent Rose, cracking the mech's windshield and causing Cordovin to growl. She fires a volley of missiles to Ruby's location.

Daniel: Get ready, Ruby!

Ruby lands on a tree branch and uses her Semblance to grab onto Daniel's back, dodging the missiles together. Ruby eventually reforms, carrying Daniel along the way and runs and jump along the missiles before freefalling down to the ocean. An incoming wave is frozen by Weiss as Ruby slides along it, with Daniel flying next to her.
