I guess I have to explain why I was away for quite a time, eh?

Welp, long story short, I had a surgery to remove my appendix, so I had to spend quite a time in the hospital to recover. Then right after that I got out, I got hit by work as hard as Truck-kun. Being a teacher is so damn tiring, gotta say.

Also, please don't expect too much about this chapter because to be honest, it's pretty low quality. I mean like, the section itself in the game was boring as hell too and I did my best to cook up something interesting for your enjoyment.

Anyways, that's enough of me whining about myself. Let's get right down to the story!

P/S: the hospital food in my place was so freaking good, holy hell.

"...May you rest in peace...", Ozpin said quietly as the screen turned dark. Everybody else also had the same thought as him, believing that the crew had sacrificed. Some sobbed for them, some sighed solemnly. But then...

The screen then lit up again, showing a dead soldier in German Empire uniform lying on top of a flat surface. His corpse jerked up a bit as the 'surface' he was lying moved up with a small creak, before he was rolled over and fell off said surface, revealing it to be Nora lifting up Big Bess's top hatch door. She then looked around and saw that the whole area surrounding the tank was scorched and still burning from the artillery barrage just now.

The Remnant's natives stared in shock and surprise at the sight of a person they assumed was dead came out unscathed. Their surprise was multiplied as the camera then zoomed out to show that the Mark V tank Big Bess was still intact despite being in the middle of the whole barrage.

"How...", Ironwood asked slack-jawed, unable to fathom just how that tank survived the bombardment.

"I can't believe it... They really just survived that...", Glynda said while she's still in shock.

"They're alive...", Ruby whispered, her voice wavered a little from the small emotional breakdown she had earlier.

"They're still alive...", Ruby said again but louder this time before it became an all-out cheer, "Guys, look! They're still alive! Yang, Nora, and Jaune are still alive! The crew of Big Bess are still alive!"

The students cheered with Ruby while the adults looked at them in amusement or let out sighs of relief.

"Haha! I guess you can say that we 'tanked' the artillery! Eh? Eh?", Yang, in her typical fashion, made a very bad pun, which earned herself a slap at the back of her head with a newspaper by Ruby.

"Well Torchwick, that's the miracle you were asking for.", Qrow smirked at the criminal.

Instead of getting angry for being proven wrong, Roman, surprisingly, smiled at this. "Ya know, for once, I'm actually happy that I was proven wrong"

The scene went back to inside of the tank and focus on the commander, Jaune. He then looked down at his bloodied hand which was covering a wound on his stomach.
