3rd Person POV:

The scene starts with Ruby being thrown across the floor by Roman.

Roman: (laughing) Wow! You are much more manageable without that oversized gardening tool of yours.

She gets up charges at Roman, which he simply sidesteps, sending Ruby stumbling across the floor.

Roman: (laughing) Oh man. You know, Perry, I really did need this.

Perry gives him a thumbs up as Roman continues to laugh.

Roman: (walks over to Ruby and aims Melodic Cudgel at her) But seriously. How'd you find this place, Red?

Ruby growls and uses her Semblance to escape him and starts running for an exit.

Roman: (looking around, briefly startled) Whoa!

He spins his cane in his hands, and aims the handle at Ruby as he fires the handle that doubles as a grappling hook catching her by the hood pulling her back.

Roman: I see you've got some tricks up your sleeve! Let me make this clear: We're not through here yet.

Suddenly he hears a loud explosion in the distance.

Roman: Oh, what the... Perry, if you and the boys could take care of that? Kinda in the middle of something.

Perry nods and goes off to investigate the explosion just as another one sounds.

Roman: (annoyed) WHAT is going on here?!

A third explosion sounds and multiple White Fang members come running around the corner, some firing back as Weiss, Blake, Yang, Zwei, Y/N, Aiden, Akemi and Oobleck run around the corner.

Ruby uses the opportunity to escape as she jumps on Roman's shoulder pulling his hat down on his face and then proceeds to run to the others.

Roman: (readjusting his hat and glaring after Ruby) Somebody kill her!

Roman and the White Fang members around him open fire on Ruby, which she dodges and weaves between.

Y/N: Move to the left Ruby!

She does as she says as Y/N gathers wind around her mouth before shooting a large blast knocking some of the White Fang members out.

Roman: (turns angrily to the White Fang member next to him) Attach this cart and spread the word: We're starting the train

White Fang Member: But we're not finished!

Roman: (pins the White Fang member up against the wall with Melodic Cudgel) Do it or you're finished!

Ruby finally makes it to the others and jumps into Yang's arm.
