Descent into Shadows (Blake Belladonna x Male reader) Haven Arc

Seeing Red (Vol 6)

Cordovin: You just couldn't keep this rivalry between us, could you, Calavera?! You had to rope in children to fail with you!

She yells at Maria, while Ruby eventually makes her way back up to the top of the cliff by using Crescent Rose's blade to climb back up. She regroups with Y/n, Vlad, and Weiss.

Oscar: (over comms) Ruby, can you hear me? Are you guys okay?

Ruby: Are we okay?!

Oscar: I know, we were supposed to lay low, but listen! I think I finally found a weakness!

Nora: Well, we're all ears.

Wendy, Jaune, Nora and Ren make their way to you limping.

Vlad: (relieved) Good, you guys are alright.

Wendy: Yeah somehow, but we still don't have a solid way to take that thing down.

Oscar: About that... The cylinder on Cordo's cannon rotates and locks in a giant Dust cartridge every time she changes attack styles.

Weiss: We noticed.

Oscar: Right, but her missile launcher doesn't lock in, it pops out! Without her shields, one well-placed shot could detonate the missiles while they're still in the launcher!

Jaune: We could destroy the entire cannon... Oscar, that's brilliant!

Nora: (looks to Ruby) Can you... make that kind of shot?

Ruby: We'll only get one chance before she catches on. I'd have to be practically staring down the barrel of her cannon.

You: You shot a missile out of the sky so I've got faith in you.

Maria: Well, I've got a way to guarantee she makes it.

Maria flies the airship back over to the group. She stops with the hatch doors open. Ruby runs forward. Qrow comes flying down before turning back to human form.

Qrow: Ruby, what are you doing?!

She hops into the airship and heads off to do her part. The others watch the airship heading towards Cordo's mech.

Qrow: She's going to get herself killed.

Vlad: Give her some credit, she'll be fine.

You: Besides Maria is with her.

From the comms you all could hear the conversation between Maria and Cordo.

Maria: Hey, Cordo! I've got one missile left and I know exactly where I'm gonna stick it!

You: (to Qrow) Okay~ not my most solid argument.

Cordovin: (chuckles) One missile you say? That's a shame, Maria, because I have plenty!

Cordovin has the missile launcher pop out from the mech's arm cannon while Maria continues flying toward her.

Oscar: ARE YOU TWO CRAZY?!!

Maria: Sometimes the best approach is simply the most direct!

You all watched in anticipation as the airship moves closer, Ruby gets into position and aims at Cordovin's mech cannon. But when Ruby pulls the trigger, the missile launcher retracts back into the arm cannon and the bullet is deflected. Everyone gasps in shock.

Cordovin: You thought you could fool me?!

You: She figured out the plan.

She readies the arm cannon again, this time about to fire a lightning Dust attack. Maria pulls up the airship, but it still gets partially caught in the blast. The rest of the group on the cliff move out of the way. The airship is affected by the electricity. The rest of the group emerge from the smoke on the cliffside, coughing.
