Lady in the Shoe
Cordovin controls the giant Atlesian mech, which trudges through the ocean, and goes after the airship Maria and Weiss took before, "You're joking. You want to fight this thing?!"
"We've fought giant monsters before. This is just a tiny old lady... with one very big robot."
"You little spider-roaches thought you could creep your way to Atlas?! Well, let's see how your resolve holds out against the might of the Atlesian Military!"
Cordovin prepares to take down the airship with a missile that pops out from a slot on the arm cannon. The missile fires and tracks the airship, but suddenly, it explodes harmlessly just right behind it. Cordovin turns to see Ruby with her Crescent Rose. Ruby lowers her weapon and glares at Cordovin while the others get ready to fight.
"SO BE IT!!"
Cordovin prepares to shoot the missile at Ruby and the others. Weiss and Maria see Cordovin doing so in shock, "Dive!"
Weiss unbuckles her seatbelt and gets off from her seat while Maria dives for the landing. As Maria heads to the others, Weiss approaches the airship door with Myrtenaster in her hand. She jumps off and raises her weapon creating a rock wall and protecting the group from Cordovin's ice Dust attack, "That was close."
"We need to figure out how to stop Cordovin and protect the airship until we do."
"Let's give her more targets to focus on."
"You mean us, don't you?"
"That mech was meant for giant Grimm that would come from deeper waters. It was created after I left Atlas."
"We can turn our size into an advantage. We just have to be smart."
"Maria, can you keep the ship out of harm's way?"
"They can take my driver's license, but I won't let them take this ship!"
"Keep that promise!" You give Maria a thumbs up.
"I'll be more useful if I go with her. From up high, I can try to spot a weakness."
"Well, he's not the only one who can grab a bird's eye view."
"You said you needed me on the ground?"
"Not exactly. (Y/n)I'm going to need your help on this too."
"Just say the word." You say as Ajin manifests behind you.
As the team strategizes, Cordovin keeps an eye on their location keenly. Suddenly, her eyes widen as the group splits into three: Jaune, Nora, and Ren run down the left path along the cliff, Maria flies the airship to the right, and Ruby and Qrow fly straight up into the air using her Semblance and his corvid form, respectively. Ruby reforms from her Semblance and fires Crescent Rose, cracking the mech's windshield and causing Cordovin to growl. She fires a volley of missiles to Ruby's location.
Ruby lands on a tree branch and uses her Semblance to dodge the missiles. She eventually reforms and runs and jumps along with the missiles before freefalling down to the ocean. Weiss freezes an incoming wave as Ruby slides along it, "Let's go!"
Both you and Weiss also slides off the frozen wave before using Myrtenaster to freeze small patches of ice for her and Ruby to leap on toward the mech. As Cordovin keeps her attention on them, her mech is suddenly struck by a volley of pink grenades, "Hey! Over here!"
"What?!" Cordovin looks over to Jaune's group as they keep running.
"And you said it wasn't beach season!" The three then take cover behind a boulder for each of them. Nora fires off more grenades from Magnhild, but suddenly, a hexagonal shield pattern appears protecting Cordovin's mech, doing no damage to her.
"Surely you knew Atlas was the father of hard-light Dust, or do lesser kingdoms simply lack proper education?" Cordovin charges up her mech's arm cannon again, this time firing rock Dust, forcing Jaune's team to abandon their cover.
"Cordo just activated shields!"
"I saw that. We need to find whatever's generating it."
"You know, in video games, the weak spot's usually on the back of the giant boss!"
"Ruby, this isn't a game!"
"I'm just trying to-- LOOK OUT!!"
Cordovin's mech stomps at a part of the ocean, which separates you from the two girls. Unbeknownst to her, Qrow flies around in his avian form, "You are ants! You are lower than ants!"
"Not a nice thing to say, Cordo! Didn't I teach you better!"
"Since the day you left Atlas, I lost respect for you."
"That hurts my feeling." You jokingly say, placing a hand on your chest as if you were hurt by her words.
As Qrow flies through the clouds, he transforms back into his human form and takes out Harbinger's scythe form. He propels himself forward and grapples onto the giant mech, "Ah! What was that?!"
"Until the shield's down, we're gonna have to get up close and personal with this thing."
Qrow starts to fire at the scratch he just made. Suddenly, he notices the mech's giant hand start to reach for him. Qrow dodges out of the way, transforming back into his avian form, "That's easier said than done!"
"We're are on it!"
Ruby and Weiss land on a patch of ice on the ocean together, "Hold on!"
Weiss stabs Myrtenaster into the ground, creating an ice attack that knocks Cordovin's mech off balance for a bit. Cordovin let's out a frustrated yell. As the airship flies by, Oscar realizes something, "Wait, that's it. When she..."
Suddenly, Cordovin aims her cannon at you; he gasps "(Y/n), MOVE!!"
Cordovin fires a volley of missiles at you, creating a large plume of water. From it, Weiss and Ruby emerge with you unharmed as they ride Weiss' Queen Lancer summon. Ruby leaps off and uses Crescent Rose to propel herself onto Cordovin's mech, embedding the scythe's blade into it. Maria cheers Ruby on. The force of Ruby's strike knocks the mech back into the cliffside, the tremors being felt by the citizens in Argus. Cordovin lets out an enraged scream.
"Go!!" Jaune, Ren, and Nora proceed forward. Ren leaps onto the mech's arm and runs along with it, while also using the blades of StormFlower to hang on. Jaune uses the two handler form of Crocea Mors to slash at the mech's hip joint, while Nora uses the hammer form of Magnhild to smash at the arm cannon. Cordovin manages to stand the mech back up, causing Ruby to be lowered down into her view on the windshield. Ruby hangs on to Crescent Rose as she nervously smiles and waves at Cordovin, "Get off of me!"
Cordovin tries to grab Ruby with the mech's left hand, forcing Ruby to let go as she uses her Semblance to fly downward. Luckily, Weiss flies by on her Queen Lancer summon and catches Ruby, "Heh."
"What if I hadn't caught you?"
"I knew you would." Weiss groans.
As they fly around the mech, Ren lowers himself down along the mech's back. He notices a panel with a humming machine sound coming from it. Ren uses one of his blades to pry the panel off but almost falls as the mech keeps moving around. Fortunately, Qrow appears and catches his wrist, "Gotcha. What'd ya find?"
Qrow tosses Ren back up as both of them look at the panel he just opened. They see a whirring machine with the label "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY, SHIELD GENERATOR" written on top of it, "Well, alright then."
Qrow and Ren draw their weapons and shoot at the machinery, disabling the mech's shields. Cordovin watches her screen as the shields are reduced to zero, "No, no, no, no!!"
Cordovin then feels a tremor as Nora fires a volley of grenades at her, "You get back here with my man!"
As Nora continues firing at Cordovin, Weiss and Ruby fly by to Ren and Qrow, "Jump on!"
The two men do so. Nora continues to fire until she runs out of ammo. Suddenly, Jaune notices Cordovin lifting the mech's arm. He runs over to Nora, "I've had enough of you ingrates!"
Cordovin slams the mech's arm into both Jaune and Nora, knocking them back and breaking their Auras. The two struggle to get back up, "No!"
Suddenly, Weiss gasps as Cordovin fires the mech cannon at her group at point-blank range, destroying the Queen Lancer summon and knocking herself, Ren, Qrow, and Ruby back over to the cliff. Ruby uses her Semblance to fly back over to the cliff, but falls short. You summon Ajin to catch Ruby; she makes it over the cliff, "(Y/n)!" Qrow runs closer to the edge extending his arm to you; however, the reach was still too far as you fell towards the ocean.
Qrow's world became black and white as he watches you fall further away, Ajin dives to your rescue; however, your body sets submerged into the water. Everyone stayed quiet by sight; they couldn't process what they had witnessed, "No!" Before Qrow could jump after you, Jaune and Ren held him back, "Let me go!"
Ajin returns to the surface you with you in his arms, Ajin then proceeds to climb the cliff, as you began coughing up water.
Ajin was holding onto the cliff with you slightly pinned against it. You kept a grip on Ajin, "This is what happens when you think you know better than those rightfully in charge!"
"Drowning is not an easy way to go." You say as Ajin takes notice of your bruises forming on your back and arm by the impact. "Injury."
"Get me to the others." Ajin doesn't reply and continues to climb up.
From the airship, Oscar notices you in trouble and runs over to Maria, "We gotta do something!"
Maria flicks some switches on the controls and flies back over to the mech. Just as Cordovin is about to fire her arm cannon at you, Maria flies by and fires a missile. Suddenly, the mech grabs the missile with its hand, causing Cordovin to turn the mech around to Maria's direction, "Calavera..."
Everyone watches helplessly as Cordovin fires the missile toward the airship's direction. The missile explodes in front of the airship, causing it to rattle...
"Oscar!" You shout.
