In the ruined remains of Kuroyuri, Team RNJR and Y/N are slowly backing away to the dead sakura tree that Qrow's currently resting on as the Nuckelavee approaches them.
The Nuckelavee's various body parts start twitching before it let's out a shockwave roar causing all the ex-students of Beacon to flinch from it's intensity.
The Grimm turns and looks at Qrow and begins running to him.
Jaune sheaths his sword and makes a run for Qrow. The Nuckelavee lashes out with one of its arms, able to extend it at a far reach. Jaune avoids it and gets Qrow upright, but the Nuckelavee is heading right for them.
Y/N gathers her Aura and launches a energy slash at the Grimm hitting it directly as it turns it's attention to the wolf faunus.
Y/N: (to Jaune) Get him to safety!
Jaune nods before walking away with Qrow while the battle resumes. He sets Qrow down behind a building and narrows his eyes at the wounded man before turning to leave.
Qrow grabs him by the hand, but falls unconscious before he can say anything. Jaune gives Qrow another look before rejoining the fight.
Jaune makes it back to the fight as he sees Ruby shooting at the creature before getting slapped into the ground by one of its arms. Y/N is grabbed next before the Nuckelavee lets them both go and turns around when Ren fires at it from its other side with StormFlower. It uses both hands to grab both of Ren's and prevent more shots.
Jaune: Guys, keep moving, go in a circle!
The team follows this plan as the Nuckelavee lets go of Ren when Nora fires at him. They all soon start circling the Grimm, with everybody using their guns as Jaune runs in slashing its foreleg.
The Nuckelavee uses its hind hooves to kick Jaune back, where he lands near Ruby. He then sheathes his sword confusing Ruby.
Ruby: What are you doing?
Suddenly the side-blades of his shield are released as Jaune then inserts a Hard-Light Dust crystal into an opening on his sheathe as the dust further extends his blade.

Ruby smiles at Jaune's development before firing at the Grimm, Jaune then runs in again and lands a slash on one of its hindlegs.
The horse portion of the beast roars while the torso uprights and its head cocks to look at Jaune a bit stunned. It then extends both of its arms and swings them round, creating a rotary attack that knocks aside Jaune, Ren, Nora, and Ruby as Y/N blocks the attack with her blade landing a slash on one of its arms.
The Nuckelavee pulls back its arms in pain before it's torso curls in on itself and the spines on its back extend several inches further out. It then roars into the sky, causing Jaune and Ruby to cover their ears.
