The Return of The Captain(on hold)

Chapter 24: Battle for Beacon. The end of a Beginning part 2 season finally

Coco: Well, I guess now's a better time than any. Velvet!

Velvet: *excited* Really?

Coco: Just make them count.

Velvet nods. As she walks up to the Paladins, "I May Fall" begins to play in the background.

Weiss: What are you doing!? She's going to get hurt!

Coco: Just watch.

Velvet holds her hand out as Anesidora glows, forming a scythe. Grabbing the copy of Crescent Rose Velvet leaps into the air, dodging cannon fire as she imitates Ruby's overhead spin, she descends slashing at the Paladin. She then replicates Myrtenaster to deflect the Paladin's punch and land a few blows before pushing it back with an Ember Celica imitation. Once after she lands a few shots, she slides under the Paladin's fist, similar to Blake as she uses a Gambol Shroud copy and uses its string to trip over the mech, before moving to the second Paladin by lopping off its hand, and jabbing it in the head with the cleaver.

Before it can react, it is immediately peppered with holographic bullets, thanks to a copy of Gianduja. As it moves forward, Velvet switches to using Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang to counter a blow, as she lands another few hits while landing a downward blow from above with a copy of Magnhild, severing a limb.

As the first Paladin attempts to recover, Velvet immediately copies Floating Array, as she leaps off the second Paladin and slices apart its legs before blasting it at full power.

Penny: *shocked and amazed* Amazing! She made a replica of my Floating Array

However, the first Paladin sucker punches Velvet.

Velvet: Aah! *she is sent skidding from the blow, landing on her back*

Coco: Velvet!

At this, Coco unloads her weapon on the Paladin to no avail, Neptune, Nadir, and Reese rush to her side and add their own firepower while Penny goes and checks on Velvet. But the barrage has little effect and the Paladin continues to loom over Velvet and Penny.

Furious, Weiss immediately rushes in past the others, as she instinctively uses a summoning glyph, confusing her. When she gets in between Velvet, Penny and the Paladin about to bring its fist down, she raises Myrtenaster defensively then closes her eyes and grits her teeth. A thud is heard as she looks up and discovers she summoned the arm and sword of the Arma Gigas she fought before, which blocks the Paladin's fist and bisects the machine in half. She takes a brief look at her summoning before being surprised by a camera flash, which was taken by a smiling Velvet with a star eyed Penny next to her.

But before they can take a breath, another advanced Paladin rushes in from the corner and begins to charge at them.

Sun: You have got to be kidding me!

As the Paladin quickly rushes at the teens.

An explosion is seen as it sent the Paladin back as an unknown figure appears in the middle of the students and the Paladin

Sun: woa who's that guy?- he said pointing at the newcomer that just arrived
