Continuing the Legacy (RWBY x Male Reader, Ruby x Reader)[On Hiatus until Vol10]

Our Final Word (Volume 8 Finale)

Back in front, Mako continues to spar with Ironwood. He throws a punch, but James catches it and throws Mako behind him. Just then, Sam wraps vines around Ironwood's waist and swings him around, then throws him at Ren. Ren fires off his pistols, but Ironwood collects himself to block them with his arms and then throws a downward punch at Ren. Ren steps back and tries to attack with his pistol blades, but Ironwood catches his wrists and kicks him away. He looks back to see Nora in mid-air, behind a glyph made by Winter that gives her an electric boost. Ironwood is too stunned by this apparent betrayal that he leaves himself wide open for Nora to slam her hammer in his face, sending him rolling back along the ground. Mako jumps in the air, his eyes emitting a yellow mist, and smashes his weapon transformed into mace into the ground, sending out a wave of steel spikes in the direction of Ironwood. He jumps out of the way, only to start running as Sam fires his pistols at him.

Back in the hangar, Vine, Harriet, and Elm get ready to charge into battle, only for Marrow to appear out of nowhere

Marrow: "Stay!" he uses his Semblance, stopping them in their tracks as he moves towards them, pointing his finger at her

Back in front, Ironwood races around Sam's shoots to get closer, only for Winter and Oscar to charge at him atop of a Manticore summon. Ironwood is able to stop the Manticore by grabbing its horns, but its riders leap off. Winter hits the general in the back with icy projectiles as he slams her summon on the ground, destroying it. Upon landing, Winter summons a black glyph, which catches Oscar and propels him back at Ironwood. The boy unleashes a flurry of jabs at Ironwood's front, causing his Aura to shimmer. Ironwood stumbles back, and Osca presses on. However, the general catches his cane and prepares to attack with his free hand, only for Sam to send a single vine, catching it

Sam: "Now!"

Out of nowhere and too fast for Ironwood to react, Winter slashes him across the chest with her sword, causing his Aura to break down. He falls to the ground, unconscious

Back in the hangar, he detached, sparking head of an Atlesian Knight-200 hits the floor, one of Robyn's crossbow bolts embedded in it

Qrow: "Sorry guys, be we don't wanna fight"

Robyn: "We didn't wanna drop Atlas either, be we've all had to make some tough calls, huh?"

Elly: "The second I saw Qrow's scroll got back online, I knew these two broke out. Ruby and Yang miss you Qrow. Joanna, May, and Fiona miss you too, Robyn" the duo smiles "But I swear, if you get caught one more time, I will not come and rescue you drunk ass"

Qrow: "Yeah, yeah. So... you back in business, Elly?" Elly nods while walking to the Ace Ops and grabs one pair of handcuffs, only to get Elm into them

Elly: "No hard feelings Elm. But you made one mistake. You messed up with my family. Albert taught you all otherwise" she looks at Marrow "At least one of you understood his lessons"

Back outside (a lot of these scenery skips:v), Winter sheathes her weapon and straightens up. Emerald shimmers back into view again, hands Winter the weapon Ironwood dropped and has the bolas taken off her wrists.

Winter: "Go! Move to phase two. I'll take care of Ironwood" the group move into the academy

Mako: "While this plan is the craziest thing Ruby and (Y/N) thought in a while, jabbing an Atlesian authority makes it worth" he smirks, while Sam also smirks

Sam: "Yup. At least she convinced (Y/N) not to fly up here and kill him. Man, he would just burn the whole academy"

Mako: "Like his father did to Beacon?" he laughs, while Sam chuckles
