As we are with our group making haste towards a town to help their wounded get healed.

Clayton: Hang in their Weiss..

Qrow: Ruby..

Yang: Benjamin..I can see the dent in your helmet...jeez

Blake: He will be fine.

Nora: I miss Jaune...

Ren glances at her then takes her hand into his and holds it.

Marcus: Baird, how far are we?

Baird checks his coordinates.

Baird: Should be coming up on the entrance now.

Cole: There it is! -as he points-

The group hurries and finds it abandoned.

Clayton sighs.

Clayton: Scan the perimeter then meet back to here to address the wounded..

Everyone else: Done.

They spread out.

They all return to the others.

Clayton: Benjamin, you awake?

Benjamin remains knocked out still.

Ruby's eyes slowly open

Qrow: Ruby!

Qrow approaches her.

Ruby sits up and sees her Uncle coming to her.

Yang hugs Ruby instantly as she glanced at her and Blake also hugs Ruby as well.

Qrow:Ruby, you ok?

Ruby:Ya I'm fine, how's Benjamin?

Clayton: He's alive..just still out cold

Ruby looks at Weiss

Ruby: What happened to her!?

Marcus: Clayton found her knocked out after you went crazy with your silver eyes.

Cole: Rose bud you scary with them eyes..

Baird examines Benjamin.

Benjamin flinches.

Baird: Clayton! He's moving!

Benjamin: Baird...shut up..

Baird: You're welcome sir.

Benjamin: I'm joking..but thank you Baird.

Clayton comes and hugs his younger brother.

Benjamin: Careful don't pop me like a pop can

Clayton: You got hit hard by a sniper

Benjamin: How's my helmet?

Yang hugs him as does Blake also and Ruby joins in too.

Clayton: Got a decent dent in it.

Ruby: Seems...um -she is blushing- I do care about you Benjamin..

Benjamin: Is that how your eyes work?

Ruby nods.

Benjamin: That's actually pretty cool..

Yang: Are you sure you are ok Ben?

Benjamin looks at Yang:Of course I am -he hugs her and Blake-

Blake purrs.

Marcus: Did she just..wait no nevermind I forgot.

Benjamin: Where are we?

Qrow: Abandoned town..stopped here to find supplies..

Weiss slowly opens her eyes.

Weiss: mmh..where are we?

Ruby goes to her.

Ruby: We are safe, they found this town.

Weiss: How long was I out?

Marcus: Good while.

Clayton: How did you get knocked out?

Weiss: I cannot remember...

Benjamin: Don't worry about it, lets get ready for camp and we can discuss our moving plan some more.

Over to the Locust.

Salem: RAAM, I am sending you to Atlas.

RAAM: Good.

Salem: Gather your troops and go.

RAAM nods.

He and his troops board the bullhead and head off to Atlas.

Over to the gears and comrades.

Benjamin: We need to keep moving...next place Ozpin?

Oscar: He says Atlas, we can get the relic to Ironwood for safe keeping as we collect the others.

Clayton: Well that should work, Baird hows the truck?

Baird: What truck...we left it behind remember? We gotta go and get it back from where ever we were ambushed.

Qrow: I can search for it from above.

Marcus: And we will handle any Grimm or Locust that come at us.

Ren: Lets get a move on so we get this done and go.

Nora: Remember all of our ammo is with that truck..

Baird: ...damn it I forgot..

Ruby: Swear Ja-

Yang: No Ruby..not today

Ruby: Ok

Nora: Benjamin?

Benjamin looks at Nora

Benjamin: Ya?

Nora: Do you think we can get things back to normal...ya know before Beacon got destroyed and Shade?

Benjamin: Ya..ya kid I do

Jack beeps.

Cole: Whats up Jack?

Jack shows his screen as it comes down to show Ironwood.

Weiss: Ironwood?

Ironwood: Yes, listen no time to explain, The Locust are attacking Atlas. Killing all of my students and soldiers, I need your assistance now. -He ends the transmission-

Clayton: Now we really need to go.

Benjamin: You can say that again

Ruby: Think our time table just got a whole lot shorter

Cole: Like you pipsqueak?

Ruby puffs her cheeks out as she glances up at Cole.

Yang: Aside from size we better go.

Over to the Locust.

RAAM is killing everyone and thing in sight in the sprawling city with his troops fanning out going into houses and shops destroying and kill the people looking for Ironwood.

Back to Carmine.

Benjamin: We need to get our truck back...but how.

Clayton: You got an idea bro?

Marcus: I have an suggestion

A portal appears by random near Yang.

Yang: Mom?

Weiss: Raven?

Raven drives the truck into view out of the portal.

Raven: Lose something Carmine?

Benjamin: W..Ho-Thank you Raven

Raven: No problem, now get going.

Benjamin: Yes Ma'am.

Baird: EVERYONE INTO THE TRUCK WE ARE LEEEEAAVING!

Everyone piles into the truck into their seats.

Oscar: Damon.

Baird glances at Oscar.

Oscar: Drive.

Baird slams on the pedal throwing dust n rocks and speeding to Atlas.

Marcus: HELL YEA BAIRD LETS GET EM!

As they go down the road, everyone is checking their guns and ammo, Benjmain checks his armor and removes his helmet to check the dent in it.

Benjamin: The end is near...I can feel it.

Yang: And we will be with you.

Clayton: Ben.

Ben looks at Clayton.

Clayton: if we do not make it, I just wanna say at the end of the line we are always and forever will be brothers.

Benjamin: No worries Clayton. We will survive this. One way or another.

As Baird continues driving towards Atlas speeding through villiages smashing Grimm under his tires.

Baird: All of this roadkill and not a damn comment about it..

The others are resting as Baird is still driving.

Blake awakes as she was snuggling towards Benjamin.

Blake looks at Benjamin as he sleeps and she smiles brightly and looks at the others snoozing away and she sees Ren and Nora cuddling in their sleep.

Blake (whispers): aww they make a cute couple

Yang slowly begins to wake up.

Yang (whispers): Blake? Are you awake?

Blake turns to Yang.

Blake(whispers): Ya I'm awake, what's up?

Yang: Just had an odd dream...well not odd but..what's the word

Blake(Whispers): shh we don't wanna wake the others

Yang makes a frightened expression as she looks at the others.

Yang(whispers): My mistake..but still the dream was strange

Blake(whispers): Strange? How so?

Yang(whispers): Like we were back to normal with the school and the Gears were with us and the Locust were destroyed...I felt really at peace

Blake(whispers): Least your dream was normal.

Yang raises a brow(whispers): What was yours like?

Benjamin is awake but listens in on their convo.

Blake(whispers): It went back to the dance...I wasn't with Sun though. I was with Benjamin dancing and Delta squad did a dance number and stole JNPRs thunder with it.

Yang snickers(whispers): You really think they can dance in that armor?

Blake(whispers): I mean they weren't in their armor...they had dress uniforms on for it.

Yang(whispers): Oooh okay that makes a lotta sense.

Benjamin(whispers): Was I still good looking?

His sudden words scare the two girls almost to death.

Yang(whispers): Good Oum Ben you scared the life out of me.

Benjamin(whispers): Well not Blake she's got nine...well eight now

Blake glares at Benjamin with her ears down.

Benjamin(whispers): Ooh Blake relax,I'm only kidding

Yang ponders his joke for a bit before snickering.

Blake(whispers): I know how to use this Lancer now, so watch the jokes Benjamin

Yang(whispers): Blake relax like he said, he meant nothing by it for your race

Blake sighs(whispers): I suppose your right. I'm sorry Benjamin.

Benjamin(whispers): It's okay no harm done.

Qrow wakes up and stretches trying not to hit Clayton by accident.

Qrow(whisper): Don't wanna wake the brute...

Yang(whispers): Uncle Qrow good morning.

Qrow looks to Yang and the other two.

Qrow(whispers ): Morning firecracker, Tin man and Blake.

Benjamin nods as Blake gently waves instead.

The sun shines on Cole hitting his eyes as he tries to roll over and ends up on Weiss' dress, Weiss feels the weight difference in her sleep and once she felt a shift in movement she awoke to see Cole sleeping on her dress.

Weiss pokes him.

Cole's eyes slowly open to see Weiss staring back at him.

Weiss:Ahem. Cole what do you think you are doing

Cole instantly gets up.

Cole: Sorry Weiss...happened in my sleep, something I cannot control..

Weiss: I suppose you are right, anyone know where we are?

Gun fire and Locust battlecries are heard upahead.

Baird: We're here ladies and gentlemen.

Marcus: Now the fun begins.

Benjamin looks back at everyone standing behind him.

Clayton: Ready when you are brother.

Benjamin: ATTACK!

Everyone charges to defend Atlas from the Locust Horde.

RAAM is tearing apart the main office of Ironwood in search of him.

We go to Ironwood safely aboard his command ship.

Ironwood: This is madness!...

Atlas Capt.: Could we declare a state of emergency?

Ironwood: Why declare it if it is already bad enough Capt.

The Captain falls silent.

As the Gears and team RWBY and friends fight the Locust to save Atlas troops and citizens.

Benjamin: Kill any Grimm or Locust on sight! UNDERSTAND!?

All the gears and others: Yes sir!

Marcus chainsaws a Drone as team RWBY and others get a bit creative with their sembalences to make their attacks more effective.

Weiss uses her Rapier to freeze a Drone and lets Ren snipe it, as Ruby speeds past a squad of Locust and Yang blindsides them as Nora launches a grenade into the crowd killing them all making it rain red.

Oscar turns into Ozpin and pistol whips a Grenadier taking him as a shield and downs a Sniper and Ozpin takes his cane and places it under the Sniper's throat pulling his head off.

Clayton is doing what he does best as Grub Killer slaughtering his opponents.

Baird fires and downs one curb stomping it and levels his gnasher blows the head off another.

Cole shoulder checks a Grenadier and disarms him starting a fist fight between the two, the Grenadier tries to use his claws as Cole dodges and takes the Locust's arm and breaks it and grabs the Grenadier by the head and just a simple twist snaps his neck.

Benjamin is stabbing Locust with his bayonet and combat knife as he vaults over cover kicking them in the face.

As the battle rages the Locust are suffering heavy losses and RAAM sees this from the main office and is met with a predicament to either fight or flight to fight another day, RAAM decides to retreat while he still can leaving his troops behind to be executed.

Clayton: You Locusts really grind my gears! -he curb stomps his victim-

Ironwood contacts Benjamin.

Ironwood: Ben. Its Ironwood, I am safe aboard my command ship. That..thing in black armor is 10ft tall...how do you plan to kill him.

Benjamin: We have an idea sir. But we would like you to join our squad...its personal for you now right?

Ironwood ponders the thought.

Ironwood: Yes. It is personal now I suppose, but I will have to decline your offer. But I can provide airsupport whenever you need it ok?

Benjamin: I undertand sir and that sounds good thank you.

Ironwood: My pleasure. Ironwood out.

Comms ended.

Weiss: Well At..wait my home, I wanna see if my family is ok

Weiss runs off to find her home.

The group tries to keep up but Clayton and Benjamin keep up with her and see her stop at her front door seeing it torn down and blood everywhere on the floor and walls.

Clayton: Ah..damn looks like they put up a hell of a fight..

Benjamin: You're telling me..

Clayton goes to Weiss and just hugs her.

Weiss: My brother..my idiot of a step father..my butler...

Clayton: Your sis is with Ironwood is she not?

Weiss: Yes..she is always with him. But I wonder if she knows.

Clayton: Just relax and let yourself calm down before telling her ok?

Weiss nods and just continues holding onto Clayton.

Benjamin: Those Locusts will pay. For every inch in blood.

Clayton: You're damn right brother.

Weiss: I'm ready to go now. Lets go to the others.

As they walk away and find the others with the truck.

Marcus: Is she ok?

Clayton: Ya but her folks put up a fight..it was bad

Marcus: For them or the Locust

Clayton: Them. Not one dead Locust.

Marcus: Damn..

Baird: Yikes..

Cole: Poor girl..

Ruby: Benjamin, what's next on our list of tasks?

Benjamin: Unclear for right now so just collect weapons and ammo and rest up..we got a small victory here but sooner or later we will kill RAAM then Salem believe that.

The gang decide to collect ammo and maintain their weapons and get some rest for their journey that lies ahead of them.
