*3RD POV*

As Atlas military forces continue to fight against the remaining Grimm that have been left after the destruction of the Monsta, a single lonely ship flies through the sky battlefield towards Atlas Academy. Inside the airship, Jaune, Ren, Nora, Sam, and Mako are waiting for the accurate moment, nervousness is written on their faces.

Sam: "Okay everybody, here goes nothing..." he sighs "Or everything" Mako nods and the others focuses on

At the front of the academy, Winter and Ironwood await. The latter received a message from Ruby saying that Penny will come alone, agreeing to their terms. However, General holds his pistols combined with a large cannon, and Winter waits with her sword as a precaution

Winter: "Sir, this course of action-"

Ironwood: "I hope you're not going to try to talk me out of it" he cuts her off. Winter looks him in the eye

Winter: "No sir... I believe that's impossible at this point" Just then, Penny flies in, alone and lands in front of them. Ironwood aims his cannon at her

Ironwood: "I didn't think you'd actually come alone" he hands a pair of handcuffs to Winter "I excepted at least some resistance from your friends" Winter walks forth towards Penny

Penny: "I just don't want anyone else to get hurt... I must open the vault" Winter puts her in the handcuffs and steps back later with her sword out. Ironwood eventually sighs, lowers his weapon, and walks up to Penny, putting a hand on her shoulder

Ironwood: "You've... done the right thing" Penny smirks

Penny: "I have..." Penny disappears, and Emerald takes he place, with Team JNR, Sam, Mako, and Oscar staining behind her in front of an airship thanks to her Semblance

Emerald: "Feels weird"

Ironwood is shocked, only for Emerald to deal him a backflip kick to the chin, causing him to release his weapon. Emerald lands and catches his cannon before using her semblance on him to disappear. The others charge in to attack, with Jaune making the first move as he swings his sword at Ironwood. Ironwood dodges the first two swings and catches the third before throwing a punch, only to get blocked by Jaune's shield that knocks him back. Oscar comes in and makes a few swings with his cane, only for Ironwood to counter with an uppercut to the chest and then a punch to the face. However, the second Oscar goes back is the second that Mako moves up. Ironwood throws another punch, but Mako catches it. Ironwood throws another punch with his free hand, only for Mako to catch it too

Mako: "I've waited for this ever since Vytal Festival, James" he smirks and throws a metal head-butt to Ironwood's face, followed by a left straight and then a dropkick to the chest

Meanwhile, inside the academy's hangar, Qrow and Robyn fight Atlesian Knights. One was about to strike Robyn from behind, but a single kama comes flying and cuts the head of the machine. She looks back only to spot Elizabeth, smirking

Elly: "Geez, I knew you two won't stay put forever. Need help?" Qrow slashes another one and Elly gets to his back, with both her weapons in hand

Qrow: "As much as I'm happy to see you back to being a Huntress, Elly. We can talk later" Just then, Vine, Harriet, and Elm enter the hangar, they are greeted by the sight of the trio making short work of the robots
