Weiss walks down the steps to the Basement. Above her, the heavy door closes and is locked by a guard. She joins the crowd of women, children and elderly who are huddling in it, along with Nora.


The wind howls. The clouds of snow hang in the air. Dia with Jaune on her flies through. Jaune holds on to the powerful dragon as they crash through snow-covered treetops. Dia regains control of her flight. Jaune gasps for breath. He looks behind him at the peril they escaped. Suddenly, Raven with Yang on her, appears from the snow cloud in front of them, on a collision course. The dragons bank to avoid one another. Yang grunts as she is nearly thrown from her Dragon. Jaune strains to check that Yang is safe as the dragons pull side by side. The dragons struggle to fly against the wind and snow. The two dragon riders are constantly tested by the unpredictable and jerky flight. Once they have settled, Yang looks down through the blowing snow to take in the battle. The undead army continues to surge forward with inhuman stamina. she gasps in horror


Mercury looked upon the battle as he finished killing a hybrid, another rushes him and he shoots it head off, He looks to see that they are being overwhelmed

"Fall back!" He cried "Fall back!"

A Hybrids stumbles as it tries to attack Mercury from behind. He raises his weapon and delivers a powerful overhead strike. Sienna saw almost most of her White-Fang soldiers be slaughtered. Oscar and Whitely began to grow tired. Cinder was close to fainting, never had she fought like this before.

"Fall back!" Mercury cried once again

Any remaining fighters of the living heard and rushed back to the walls of Arktown.

Kali stands with her soldiers. She hears the cries from over the walls of the retreat

"Open the gate!" She cried

Her men run to the gate. Four soldiers remove the crossbeam and open the mighty gate. The injured and weary army rushes in noisily.

"Keep moving, fast! Keep moving!" Kali told the running men

Arslan watches as the army retreat through the gate. The Hybrid battle with the Dragon army nearby.

She looks to her men "Protect the retreat!" She cried "don't let a single one through!"

They fend off the ferocious attacks for the undead.

"Stand your ground!" Arslan cried

Men continue to pour through the gate, Sounds of the battle beyond ring through the blasts of wind and snow.



Jaune and Yang fight to fly against the storm.

Yang!" Jaune cried

Yang can't hear him and she later becomes blurred by the snow

Maria sits pensively with Ruby. Above, they can see Dia fighting to hover before the dragon lands heavily on a tower. Jaune looks around, he sees the Soldiers rush towards the gate.

"Grab your weapon now! Guard those barricades! NOW!" Kali cried

Jaune watches the rushing through. Near the gate, Ilia tries to maintain some control of the rushing crowd. She ushers Oscar and Whitley into the courtyard. Nearby,  takes command of those near him. Arslan and now only a quarter of her men are left, they run towards the gate. The Hybrids continues their slaughter of the army as men run, everyone flees in great numbers to the gate. The endless waves of undead continue. Soldiers run as fast as they can towards the gate. Mounted guns shoot through the air above them. Mercury takes down a Hybrids with a mighty blow. The snarling undead wrestles through the wooden palisades. Winter takes careful aim and shoots a Dust pistol, Killing three Hybrids pursuing the Qrow. He turns around in surprise, looks up to Winter and smiles, then back at the felled creature. They manage to close the gate, the Hybrids still rushing to them, and banging on the gate. hearing the sounds of what sounded like an ocean of undead beginning to pile up and hack at the gate. Kali saw this and grabbed some of her men,

"We need to protect the gate!" She cried

her men nodded and they went to hold the gate closed

Ilia walked up the walls and to see the Hybrid army, she looked to Winter

"Light the trench!" Ilia told her

Winter nodded and threw a dust crystal into the trench, It fell and landed on the wood, and She shot at it, but only managed to kill a Hybrid. She shoots again but there misses, she shoots a third time but with no avail.

"Fuck!" Winter cried

She shot once again and this time hits the fire dust crystal and the trenches shoot up in flames, creating a wall of fire, instantly killing any Hybrids in and around the trench. Ilia and Winter cheered but then Winter turned to her men

"Focus all fire on the Hybrids that are on the walls!" Winter ordered

the men did as they were told and began shooting at the Hybrids that made it past the trench before it was lit

Roman continues to pant as he watches the ferocious undead army. The seemingly endless undead army continues to surge forward, snarling and growling. For a split second all seemed fine. Until in the distance, they saw purple flames in the air and heading straight for them...
