At the Argus base, the Atlesian guards watch the screen as Caroline Cordovin's Colossus is seen trying to swipe at the airship Maria Calavera and Oscar Pine are in.
Cordovin: You just couldn't keep this rivalry between us, could you, Calavera?! You had to rope in children to fail with you!
The guards cheer on their boss as she fires another shot from the mech's arm cannon. Unbeknownst to them, a red dot appears on one of the radar's screens approaching Argus.
Back at the cliffside, Ruby Rose is still recovering, holding onto Crescent Rose to keep her self steady. Cordovin notices the weakened group and aims the missiles at them. Oscar notices this from the airship.
Oscar: Ruby!
Ruby eventually stands up as missiles are sent to the group, however Yuskue and Rinoa shoot down the missiles sent to them before they regroup with Weiss Schnee, Lie Ren, and Qrow Branwen.
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!
Rinoa: Well, we're all ears.
Ruby and her friends notice Nora Valkyrie helping Jaune Arc over.
Ren: *relieved* Guys!
Ren runs over to his teammates as CD and Double A arrive with the group.
ChaoticDementio: Looks like this mech is proving more of a challenge for you all.
Shadow: So what happens to Zerneas?
AarenAero: He got away unfortunately, so let us try to help with this.
Oscar: Ok listen up, 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: 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.
Shadow: You're not doing this alone. I'm going as well.
Maria: Well, I've got a way to guarantee that.
Maria flies the airship back over to Ruby's group. She stops with the hatch doors open. Ruby and Shadow runs forward.
Qrow: What are you doing?!
Shadow: What need to be done!
Ruby and Shadow hops into the airship and heads off to do their part. The others watch the airship heading towards Cordo's mech. Ruby smiles at Maria and Oscar.
In the mech, one of the screens has a popup message saying "ARGUS BASE INCOMING CALL". Cordovin notices this, but her attention is then drawn away.
Maria: Hey, Cordo! I've got one missile left and I know exactly where I'm gonna stick it!
Cordovin: *chuckles* One missile you say? That's a shame, Maria, because I have plenty!
