Lurking Darkness

In Rancor Praesidium

"Uhm, Ruby?" You pull on her cloak.

"What's up?"

"Look at the base." The base is... opening?
And it's a giant mech.

"Ooooh that's awesome." You say out loud.

"What is that thing for?" Nora asks.

"I have no idea." Jaune says.

"But it looks like we have to bring it down." You say slightly raising your temperature.

"Weiss? I'm going to need you on the ground if we're gonna take this thing down." Ruby says over comms.

"You little spider roaches thought you could sneak your way into Atlas?" As Cordovan fires a missle at Oscar and Maria, Ruby snipes it out of the air with Crescent Rose, showing off her accuracy with the weapon.

"Uuuugh." Cordovan grunts angrily.

"Ooooh she's mad." You say. She charges up her cannon and aims it directly at everyone.

"She's VERY MAD!" You look around for something to hide behind. Just then Weiss appears and puts up a wall of stone and negates the blast entirely.

"We need a plan." Ruby says.

"I think I have an idea, we just need to give her more targets to aim at."

"You mean us don't you?" Nora says.

"Look at that thing. It's obviously not meant for small targets, it must be for fighting giant Grimm that come from the sea. We can turn ourselves into an advantage." Jaune says to everyone.

"Maria? Can you keep the ship out of harm?"

"They can take my license, but they won't take this ship." Everyone is silent.

"I'll be more useful if I go with her, from up high, I may be able to spot a weakness." Oscar says, willing to help.

"He's not the only one who can get a bird's eye view." Qrow adds.

"You said you needed me on the ground?" Weiss asks Ruby.

"Noooot exactly..." She blinks fast at Weiss.
"Ruby... Blake isn't answering her Scroll..." You sound worried. She nods at you.

"Just be careful."

"I will."

Blake's P.O.V

As your blades continue to clash, Adam continues to advance on you, you use Gambol Shroud to try and put some distance between you both.

"Can you do ANYTHING besides run?" You continue to put distance. He launched his sword at you and it hits a tree, blocking your path, you're forced to divert back. Right back into Adam. He slashes at you. He misses your body by inches, slicing your duster in two halves. You're able to kick him in the mouth.
As you land you fire multiple times with Gambol Shroud, hitting him twice, though he blocks the rest. You both stare. You take off running, he's in pursuit, you both arrive on a natural bridge formation. He gains on you and you have no choice but to fight. Your blades continue to clash. Each attack narrowly missing. You sheathe his weapon with your sheathe, you have the advantage. He continues firing his rifle, once point blank at your head, you used Shadow to avoid it. You end up both clashing and grabbing each other's arms.

"I wouldn't have to be doing this if you just behaved!" He snarls. He grabs his weapon and pulls it out of your scabbard.

"HRRAGGH!" He hits your temple with the hilt of his sword, knocking you to the ground.
