Ruby noticed Emerald in the crowd and quickly made her way to the maintenance area but was stopped by

Ruby: Mercury?

Before she could ask any question port announce the two combatants first was Penny

Ruby: what are you doing?

He didn't answer the second combatant was Pyrrha she then realized exactly what they were planning

Mercury: ow polarity vs Metal that could be bad.

Ruby reached for her scythe only for it to be still in the looker, Mercury got into stance

Ruby: mercury what are you doing? You were hurt why- * gets serious * what's going on?

He didn't answer so she do I figure it out by yourself the Mercury was not going to let her without a fight so she tried dashing past him but he kicked her right away she went for her scroll only for it to be shot out her hand

Mercury: let's keep this between friends.

Before he could attack again Mercury seemed to slip on something and was put held to the ground. Y/n appeared holding Mercury to the ground with the forked end of his scythe handle

Ruby: Y/n!

Y/n: whatever your planning to do, do it I'll hold him off for as long as I can.

Ruby: but-

Y/n: go! Time is of the essence!

Ruby dashed pash them and Mercury broke free of his hold and kicked up from the ground

Mercury: torchwick told me about you Mr. Vanishing boy.

Mercury went for a leg sweep only for y/n to lift the leg being swept blocked another kick with the handle

Y/n: don't wanna fight you, surely your leg isn't fully healed from a break like that with or without Aura.

Mercury only smerked lifted his pants legs revealing the metal prosthetic

Mercury: the wonders Atlas tech can do, worth every penny.

Y/n: oh so you're not injured.

Y/n then went on the defensive hitting Mercury on the side of the face knocking him off balance. Mercury tried to kick y/n but he tilted his head out the way and knocked Mercury on his back but before he could strike y/n heard the sound of gasping

Y/n: oh no...

Mercury took the opportunity and kicked y/n from on top of him

Mercury: love to stay but I've got somewhere to be.

Mercury kicked away causing y/n to spin his scythe handle for the on-coming bullets but by the time he deflected until he was out of sight. Sirens went off informing if oncoming threat level 9 Grimm attack. Y/n tan out and saw fright sight, penny was in pieces on the ground, Ruby was on the ground in the grief of her friend, knowing what it felt like but also knowing that the time of griefing wasn't now doe to the nevermore break through the force field he ran to Ruby's side and did what he could

Y/n: Ruby you need to get up, there's a Grimm attack on the force field!

Ruby: ...
