The scene showed the fairgrounds in chaos as civilians ran away from the hordes of Grimm. Atlesian Knight-200s were seen firing at the dark creatures, and a vendor hided behind his booth when a group of Ursai ran past. Blake and Weiss were then shown watching in horror of everything going on around them.Civilians continued to flee as Grimm continued to run amok, and a dead Creep on the ground started to dissipate.
Weiss: I don't believe this...
Blake: *pulls out her Scroll* Yang, are you okay?
Yang ran in the hallways of the dorms with Zwei.
Yang: *responds* I'm fine. Is Ruby with you? She's not answering her Scroll.
Blake: No, she isn't.
At those words, Yang stopped in her tracks with a worried expression on her face.
Blake: Yang, I'm sure she's fine. She's our leader. She can take care of herself.
Yang closed her eyes and curled her fist into a ball
Yang: (hesitantly) Right.
Yang continued forward with Zwei and turned the next corner of the hallways. Cut back to Blake and Weiss at the fairgrounds.
Weiss: This can't be happening. *pauses* Penny...
Yang: I'm headed to the docks near the courtyard. The White Fang are releasing Grimm into the school!
Blake: *alarmed* The White Fang is here!?
Through her Scroll, Blake heared the sounds of Grimm growling, and her expression grew ever more worried.
Blake: Yang!
Yang: Ugh! Gotta go! Be careful! *ends call*
Weiss: Blake, what are we going to do?
Blake: *pensively* We're going to the docks, and we're doing our job.
Blake used her Scroll to call upon her rocket locker, which landed behind her and opened up to reveal Gambol Shroud. Weiss gave one last look at Blake before nodding in agreement.
Back at Amity Colosseum, the Nevermore screeched as it continued to weaken the force field that's keeping it from getting in.
Warning Announcer: Warning: Safety Barriers Failing.
As civilians ran past her in a panic, Ruby stayed kneeling on the ground with her head down, her expression in a mixture of shock and sadness. Maira tried to snap out of her state. As the Nevermore circled around the colosseum, Pyrrha struggled to stand as she looked in shock at the torn apart Penny Polendina.
Jaune: *in the stands with the remaining members of Team JNPR* PYRRHA!! Pyrrha, that thing's going to break in! You've gotta move!
Jaune, Ren, and Nora looked up and saw the force field flash as the Nevermore rised back up before diving back in. Wasting no time, the leader of Team JNPR jumped from the stands into the arena. Byleth and Azura rushed down from the stands and Byleth jumped down to follow Jaune. Azura stopped beside Nora and Ren.
Nora: Jaune! Byleth!
Azura: Oh no!
Jaune: *runs towards Pyrrha* Pyrrha, please snap out of it!
Byleth just grabbed Pyrrha by her shoulder and wanted to push her away. Suddenly, the Nevermore completely broke through the holographic barrier, and the force of it landing on the arena floor knocked back Jaune, Byleth, Pyrrha, and the pieces of Penny. The Nevermore screeched and lunged towards Pyrrha, but Byleth shielded her with his body. Suddenly, the Nevermore was knocked back by a red, twirling blur of roses, with the cause of the blur gripping one of Penny's swords and stabbing into the Nevermore, before jumping back down in front of the two.
