Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren all approached their scheduled bullhead, Nora and Ren talking about the upcoming mission while Jaune and Pyrrha discussed their training last night.

Jaune: "Oum, even when he's not here (Y/N) does not go easy on me."

Pyrrha: "That's probably why you've been making such massive strides in your training."

Jaune: "Yeaaa, speaking of how do you think his and Rwby's mission is going?"

Just as he finished his sentence a loud siren started screaming from the city before being quickly echoed by Beacons own alarms.

Jaune: "You don't think..."

Pyrrha: "The chances are low... but destiny has had crazier ideas..."

Jaune: "Alright we're changing our mission." He said catching the attention of the other two as they ran to the bullhead. He caught Ren by the shoulder. "We'll make it to that village another time." The two nodded and got into the bullhead and with a simple redirection sped towards the city.

Watching them go was Cinder, Emerald and Mercury who had been watching all the students leave to gather information.

Mercury: "You don't think..."

Emerald: "It's still days away." The two looked back to Cinder who was contemplating a plan. "What do we do?"

Cinder: "We stick to the plan. Follow me." She said before the three paced towards another bullhead.

Meanwhile Team Rwby we're surrounded on all sides by a near unending horde of Grimm, from blood-soaked Beowolves to a snapping King Taijitu, the mess of black, white and red began to circle the four girls.

Weiss: "W-What do we do?" She yelled to her teammates over the growing growls and snarls. Ruby quickly looked around at the certain death situation when her eyes were drawn to a mother and a baby in the second story of a building looking out the window terrified. Their eyes met and for a moment the mother wore a white cloak.

Ruby: "We take as many as we can down, buy time for the civilians." She declared while brandishing her scythe in a battle stance.

Yang looked over at her sister concerned but was only met with steely determination emanating from the young leader. The four team members nodded to each other before setting to work.

Ruby was the first to get into a fight, using her speed she swiftly sliced through multiple creatures, tearing their chests from their legs, until her scythe gave a loud clang as it failed to pierce the armour of a Beringel.
The large gorilla Grimm grabbed her scythe and threw it away, along with her, into another horde of Beowolves, who all snapped at her as she threw through the air, however before they could set upon her with claws and fangs she jumped up right and began swinging her scythe around her creating a temporary barrier that cut down Grimm who wandered to close.

Weiss had remained on the elevated position they had began on and, instead of charging in head first, let the Grimm come to her. She expertly struck them down, using her glyphs to keep her speed up so she could dart around and deal with the oncoming tide. She twirled like a ballerina between her opponents and with the grace of one penetrated their hearts with her icy sword before moving onto the next victim.
This was going well for the heiress but she was quickly losing precious aura for her glyphs and the waves of Grimm just kept coming. Her position was soon swarmed and she had to use glyphs to escape the crowd getting onto the top of a turned over car for a moments rest.

Blake was executing a well timed hit and run strategy, luring in the Grimm only to disappear in one place and cut them down in the next. She was the hunter and they were her prey as she chased them down before letting them think they had the upper hand. Dodging left and right of swipe and bite she took out another Beowolf before retreating into shadow again.
This continued on until she realised her mistake, she had become complacent in that type of combat and as such hadn't realised she had cornered herself against a wall. The towering creatures began to block out the light for the poor Faunus. With no moves left to fight she looked to her other option, flight, looking above her she saw a pole which had held a banner torn a-shred. Using the last of her dust she made an ice clone of herself just at the time multiple swings went for her, using the ribbon of her bow she caught the pole and swung upwards, narrowly landing on the pole. She was trapped against the building, balancing precariously on the pole, but temporarily safe.

Yang happily got into the thick of the fight, blasting Grimm apart with a simple punch that blasted and broke the black beasts. The monsters kept pouring in like a flood but the beautifully bright flame refused to be doused as she held of the Grimm with bullets and knuckles. One punch, one blast and a Grimm went down, pulling her arm back the shot-gauntlet primed again as she went in for an attack with her other arm before the same thing happened only mirrored. Occasionally a Grimm would land a vicious attack that would only add to her power as her semblance activated meaning she took the creatures down with increased vigour.
However this constant fighting was taxing on both her physical state and her ammunition. Both resources were depleting faster than she'd admit and that only came about when she went to blast a Grimm's head off and the gauntlet only made a loud click as it failed to fire. Suddenly the insurmountable odds she had enjoyed facing began to overwhelm her making her pull back desperately as the creatures continually clawed and bit at her.

Unable to hold off the Grimm any longer Ruby jumped upwards and shot her sniper propelling her further and towards Weiss who was happy to see the backup flying towards her. Yang and Blake saw this move and both made redoubled efforts to rejoin their teammates. Yang punching her way through a wall of black and Blake jumping from her pole onto the head of one of the beasts before bouncing from head to head forwards.
The four girls rejoiced at their reunion before the overwhelming sound of Grimm drew their attention again. They had cut down nearly a third maybe even half of the starting force of the monsters but their reinforcements just kept pouring in. The three teammates looked to their leader, who had almost lost her will to go on, however looking into her friends eyes she clawed back the hope and relit the fire of rebellion against the odds.

Ruby: "Yang, Blake make sure they don't get close! Weiss speed them up with your glyphs! I'll cover you all and try to take out any that are to armoured! I want their focus on us and away from any people that are left!" She ordered before stabbing her scythe into the ground to begin sniping down the more armoured of the tide.

Inspired by the younger girls will the elders obeyed her command without doubt. Blake and Yang moves in-front and started cutting down the hordes, their efforts increased by the energy and strength by the Schnee who had stabbed her sword into the ground to better focus on her allies.

The team gave it their all, all their strength, all their energy, all their will, and for a brief shining moment they were winning. But reality had its own trick and it came in the form of a King Taijitu.
The snake darted from the tide of Grimm and slithered silently around the perimeter of the girl's defence, it was upon their leader before anyone could register it. Ruby saw the looming shadow and put all her energy into one swing that might just save her life.

.
.
.

The swing missed.

However, as if destiny willed it to be so, the scythe got caught in the mouth of the creature, lodging itself in and locking the mouth open, Ruby held the scythe against the ground trying to hold off the snake when the distinct sound of a hammer being shot sounded out.

From the heavens the self proclaimed goddess of lighting and hammers descended, flying in on her hammer with a peace sign, she quickly spun, taking the hammer by the handle and bringing it down on the King Taijitu. The force forced it into the floor crushing its head in a loud crunch of bone. Ruby luckily had had the sense to let go of her scythe before Nora had impacted meaning she was unharmed as her scythe waited patiently in the impact crater the Grimm was now disappearing in. Team Rwby withdrew from the now frenzied horde of Grimm, Ruby grabbing her scythe along the way.

Yang: "Nora?!" The blonde cried overjoyed to see the ginger.

Nora: "Yup! And not just me!" She said before turning towards the main road that led to the city and from it walked the remainder of Team JNPR as well as Team CFVY and finally the first three members of Team CMEN.

Coco: "Mind if we step in?" She asked lowering her glasses to overlook the ruined streets as her eyes narrowed in on a store.

Blake: "Not at all!" She replies the exhaustion now clearly showing on her face.

Coco smiled and nodded as her team marched towards the recovering horde of Grimm. Cinder looked at her team and nodded before walking elsewhere as Mercury and Emerald split up to go deal with other Grimm and possibly Roman. JNPR rand towards their other teammate and RWBY.

Coco stopped a couple meters infront of the black wave and glared. She whipped out her handbag which quickly transformed into a mini gun.

Coco: "You all destroyed my favourite clothing store." She spat onto the ground beside her. "Prepare to die!" She declared while letting loose her ammunition into the monsters tearing through their flesh like cloth.

Her other teammates left the 'mourning' leader and went to deal with other pockets of Grimm that had began to build. Velvet jumping between Grimm and knocking them down in a feat of acrobatics, Fox darting between the downed Grimm and finishing them. Yatuhashi wielded his great sword and started striking down the larger Grimm that weren't taken down by the swarm of lead coming from Coco. He cut them down quickly and efficiently but accidentally sent one flying, instead of cutting it in half, straight towards Coco. It hit the floor and rolled towards her and without looking away from the horde she lifted up her boot and brought it down on where the Grimm's genitals would be, dusting it instantly.

The two younger teams watched CFVY take the horde head on in admiration before snapping back to the situation.

Jaune: "Don't worry guys we're here to help!"

Nora: "Just in time as always!"

Ren: "Nora."

Nora: "Alright, we got lucky we hadn't left yet."

Pyrrha: "I'm surprised there aren't any professional huntsmen here."

Weiss: "Well actually... they'd all be at Mountain Glenn by now..."

Jaune: "I won't ask... hey where's (Y/N)?" Thats when the two teams finally noticed the absence of their resident immortal.

Pyrrha: "You didn't kill him again did you?" She joked half accusingly but Ruby seemed just about at her limit.

Ruby: "Listen! There are still people evacuating and I don't want people to die because we were here in idle chat about some boy!" She half exploded taking all seven of them by surprise. Her own eyes widened after her outburst and she tried to stutter and explanation.

Blake: "S-shes right we should help."

Jaune: "R-right. We'll lead it. You're probably running out of ammo by now."

And without another word the two teams rushed to help CFVY.

Nora jumped into the fray with a mighty laugh as she created a crater in the ground and splatted the Grimm like they were moles in a arcade game. She began spinning around, easily batting away the different creatures that jumped at her with lethal precision.

Ren was darting between the different targets like a ninja, firing shots into them, weakening them, and peeling away as they got dealt with by the diminished Team RWBY.

Pyrrha was dancing in the horde, like a goddess of death she went untouched as she speared, slashed and shot her way through numerous monsters.

Jaune was left with nothing to fight and test his new 'skills' on. He let out a frustrated cry that drew the attention of an Ursa Major that he immediately regretted. He began duelling the beast in a private fight.

Team RWBY was left to pick off the stragglers, keeping close due to their diminished aura and ammo. They didn't let a single Grimm near the roads in fear of them getting near the civilians.

Near the rubble of the breach something finally managed to uncover itself. Metal scraped against rock as a single Atlas Paladin stood to height, scratches and damage clearly evident. Out from the Paladin popped Zwei and Doctor Oobleck the two looked around the battle zone in confusion before rushing towards the three teams beating down the Grimm. Meanwhile something else began to move in the dislodged rubble.

It was a stalemate that wouldn't last long as eventually the teams would run out of energy and bullets again and it was something that was slowly creeping up on them. However just as the advantage was going to slip to the Grim the sound of hundreds of bullheads roared in the sky.
Above them numerous bullheads let loose Atlas droids that landed on the ground weapons at the ready. The droids began firing in on the horde and with the added firepower began to calm the tide.

The hordes attention switched to the droids as they willingly walked into their lines allowing the three teams and the Doctor to leave their position and move back to the road where many Atlas Soldiers had just taken position.

Atlas Sergeant: "We've got the horde under control. You are all free to stand down."

Ruby: "What about the civilians?!"

Atlas Sergeant: "Teams are sweeping the area for any and all survivors. No need to worry."

Ruby: "But can we be of any more assistance?! I mean we're all ready to-" She was silenced as Coco put a hand on her shoulder and shook her head with a smile.

Coco: "You did good. Don't risk something happening by pushing it."

Ruby nodded sadly and they all turned to look at the horde began contained and destroyed by the Atlas Droids.

The loud roar from the tunnel snapped everyone's attention as a loud set of thuds accompanied it. From the hole of the crash came one last Grimm, it was coated in thick white plate with blood-like accents that shined against the sun. It's mere presence brought dread as it looked impenetrable, like a fortress on legs. It let out another mighty roar that bellowed and echoed in the hearts and heads of those who heard it.

[Picture this with two massive swords on its back.]

The colossal Grimm got up on its two hind legs and pulled from its back two large swords made of the same material as its armour. It began swiping and slashing, cutting down Atlas Droid and Grimm alike indiscriminately.

Atlas Sergeant: "T-t-thats a Taturus!" He said bringing the three teams attention. "W-we don't have anything ready to deal with that!"

The three teams made a short run forward to the edge of the road.

Coco/Ruby: "What have we got?!"

Weiss: "We're all out of dust and ammo."

Yatuhashi: "Our blades are all too dull from fighting to pierce that armour."

Jaune: "They asked what we do have not what we don't!"

Yang: "We have nothing Jaune!"

Ruby: "Calm down!" She yelled instantly shutting up the three teams drawing attention to her. "We'll fall back and setup a perimeter until we can get reinforceme-" She was cut off by the ear splitting sound of six fire dust bullets exploding on the Taturus's armour.

Everyone's attention, including the Grimm, was drawn to the breach where in the rubble stood (Y/N), blood-soaked and dirt-covered.

Your POV
The anger seeping from you was almost malleable, you had just fired all 6 shots into the giant-ass Grimm that now towered over you.

(Y/N): "I'VE BEEN STABBED, SHOT, BEEN IN A TRAIN CRASH AND NOW I'VE BEEN CRUSHED BY TEN TONS OF RUBBLE! SO IF YOU DONT KEEL OVER AND DIE IN THE NEXT 5 SECONDS I'M GOING TO BE PISSED!" You declared pointing your newly transformed blade at the behemoth. "1!" The Grimm leered at you almost mockingly. "2!" The ground began to rumble as the monster approached you with crushing footsteps. "3!"

The three teams watched in horror as the Grimm brought one of its blades down faster than they thought possible causing a massive dust cloud that made them all shield their eyes. Once the grainy dust had settled it was clear that the blade had made no impact to the ground and instead was held away from it by your own sword as you held off the Grimm's overwhelming strength.

(Y/N): "4,5! NOW I'M ANGRY!" You yelled quickly as you amazed your onlookers by parrying the man-sized sword. The Grimm growled in a low manner showing its own anger, in response you just pulled out your scroll and clicked the screen.

[Thanks @OrcaApe for the song.]

As the song started you sprinted from the rubble of the breach and towards the legs of the monster in front of you. The wind wildly whipped your coat and blood-matted hair as the Grimm reacted quicker than you thought, getting ready to take another swing.

Hey kid (hey kid)
Do I have your attention?
I know the way you've been living
Life's so reckless, tragedy endless
Welcome to the family
Hey
There's something missing
Only time will alter your vision
Never in question, lethal injection
Welcome to the family

A swift blur of white flew towards you, cutting the very air in two. Kicking your feet from the ground you flipped and avoided the blade as it slashed past you.

Not long ago you find the answers were so crystal clear
Within a day you find yourself living in constant fear
Can you look at yourself now, can you look at yourself?
You can't win this fight

In a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight

As you landed, you suddenly fell to the ground to avoid the other blade of the Grimm from cutting you in two. Meanwhile your onlookers watched with shocked horror, aside from Ruby that is who seemed more focused on the song.

Ruby: 'He said that it distracts him from the pain... but at the dance the songs meant something...'

Hey kid (hey kid)
I have to question
What's with the violent aggression
Details blurry, lost him too early
Welcome to the family

Hey
Why won't you listen?
Can't help the people you're missing
It's been done, a casualty rerun
Welcome to the family

After successfully avoiding two terrifying swipes of the creature you clambered to your feet, realising you'd never be able to reach it on foot you watched as the Grimm brandished its blades yet again and a plan formed.

I try and help you with the things that can't be justified
I need to warn you that there is no way to rationalize
So have you figured it out now, so have you figured it out?
You can't win this fight

And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight!

As the white Grimm sword rushed forward for round two you jumped yet again, only this time you caught onto the blade itself with your left hand, severely cutting it, latching yourself onto it as you were brought higher into the sky.

Ruby's head was spinning from trying to decipher the quickly sung sentences for any sort of meaning.

Ruby: 'Is this him trying to tell me about why he killed those White Fang Members? Or that he understands what I'm feeling now?'

Here for you and all mankind
I've lost my mind
Psychotic rounds in rabid dementia
I won't be fine

The blade went moderately stable and you quickly got to your feet and ran towards the Grimm's claw, you spotted a gap in the armour and jammed your own sword inside and ignited all your fire dust. This caused the monster to let go off the man-sized blade and let it fall several meters to the ground with a loud roar of anger.
Pulling your blade from the hand you jumped again, ever higher, your eyes locked the creatures as you dived towards it in the air, sword stretched ready to meet its target.
You hadn't noticed the Grimm bring its other blade over its head and slice at you.
All your momentum was ripped from you as you were cut from the air, you rapidly approached the ground and made a large impact crater next to the creatures discarded sword.

I see you're a king who's been dethroned
Cast out in a world you've never know
Stand down, place your weapon by your side
It's our war in the end, we'll surely lose but that's alright
So have you figured it out now, so have you figured it out?

Slowly you stood back up, your face, now adorned with a blood-gushing cut that ran over your now left eye, was twisted in anger. Your left arm was in a similar state, underneath your invincible coat was your broken and shattered arm that could now barley hold a fist without feeling like hell. Your sword lay near shattered on the ground, the intricate mechanisms that allowed it to function laid bare. It was useless now. Then your foot brushed up against salvation, the Grimm's sword.
Forcing your body to fight the pain you grabbed the sword and dragged it from the floor and gripped it tightly unable to lift it from the ground.

The teams stared in disbelief that you, seemingly, managed to shake off the attack but Ruby narrowed her eyes. You could barley lift the sword let alone get it in position for another attack.

Ruby: 'I don't have time, he needs me.'

Just like that her body began to move on its own and she ran towards you.

And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight

As you watched the Grimm bring its blade down for a final time, a white wave of waiting oblivion, the distinct sight of rose petals caught your eye.

You were suddenly pulled from your stance and into the air as Ruby grabbed ahold of you and propelled you both into the air with her semblance.

For a moment you were both just floating in the air as her aura dropped into the critical. The words of the song flew back into her mind as something shone in her mind about it.

Ruby: "We'll talk later."

You gave a weak smile as she gave you one last push as she fell back to earth. With that you turned your attention to the motherfucker about to die.

Deep inside where nothing's fine
I've lost my mind
You're not invited, so step aside
I've lost my
Deep inside where nothing's fine
I've lost my mind
You're not invited, so step aside
I've lost my

(Y/N): "PARRY THIS YOU FUCKING CASUAL!"

Holding the Grimm's blade high you began your screaming descent, the Grimm tried to block with their remaining blade but the sheer force of speed behind your attack easily snapped the defence and in one swift cut tore open the armour and Grimm itself before crashing into the ground.
