You:
Come on, Claire. Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!

You were standing before the door as you started pacing back and forth, your popcorn still in your hand, untouched. As soon as you heard that Pyrrha was fighting against Penny, you knew what was about to happen, so you decided to call the ones closest to the arena's entrance, which were unfortunately Tealle and Claire, that's why you are trying to contact Claire and Tealle..... For the 4th time. Meanwhile, Claire picks up her Scroll, grumbles at how persistent you are, and was about to reject the call when Tealle's hand went to grabbed her wrist to stop it.

Claire: Tealle! What are y--

Tealle: I know you have a grudge on our leader, but no matter what you do and no matter what you think, he's still our leader. I'm sure it must be something important. I mean, why would Cap even call you so many times despite rejecting his calls?

As much as she'd hate to admit it, but her Faunus partner is right. But just before she could talk back at her, her Scroll was snatched out of her hands.

Tealle: Oh, for Grimm's sake, Claire! Just give that to me already!

She stopped her partner just before she could reach it and answered the call.

Tealle: Hello? Cap?

You: Tealle! Thank the gods, you guys finally answered. What took you?!

Tealle: Well, Claire was behaving rather...... out of place.

You: Yeah, I get that she's still mad at me and Sky, but listen: You have to stop the, match! 
 
Tealle remained silent for a moment, out of shock, before she literally shrieked....

Tealle: WHAT?!?! But--

You: I know it's a crazy idea, but I'm having this feeling that Mercury and that green-haired friend of his are still here in Vale. 

Tealle:
A-Actually about that.... Emerald is two levels below us.

You: I knew it! Which is all the more reason why you two have to stop that match pronto or it'll be like Yang's accident all over again! or even worse!

Tealle: J-Just calm down, Cap. I get it. But how can we stop it exactly?

You:
Ask Claire. If she's having the same feeling as I do, then you guys will have no problem on what to do, because Claire knows her way 'around' gaps.

Tealle: B-But---

You:
Look, we're losing time here, and I still have to find Ruby. Just do what you guys have to do to stop that match by any means necessary. I trust you two on this. Good luck.

When you ended the call, Tealle remained silent as she just stared at the Scroll. Claire then inquired her about it.

Claire: Tealle, what did the Cap say?

Tealle: Cap told us to stop the match.

Claire blinked as she stared at her partner in incredulity, not only because of that, but also the way on how she delivered it so bluntly.

Claire: I-I'm sorry, what?

Tealle: Cap told us to stop the match! H-He says you'd know what to do since, "You know your way 'around' gaps." he said.

At that moment, Claire beamed and started laughing.

Claire: Hahaha! FINALLY! There's my decent Leader right there, Tealle. This feeling's been literally killing me for hours. Come on, I know what he meant by 'Around the gaps'. Give me your hand.

Tealle: Uhm, what?

Claire: Give me your hand. We can't exactly get pass the problems if we're seen, right?

Tealle thinks this about it for a minute until she finally understood what they both meant. She smiles and nods, and grabs her hand. She glowed as the same color of Claire's Aura before they slowly disappeared among the seated crowds. When you ended your call with Tealle, you decided to call Sky as well, but a 'No Signal' appeared on your Scroll.

You: Darn it! Did they jammed the communications here?! Doesn't matter, I have to get Ruby.

Putting your Scroll back to your pocket, you entered the door discreetly and went off to look for her. Concurrently behind closed doors, Ruby Rose is still facing down an up-and-standing Mercury Black, who's smugly smiling at the younger girl's confusion.

Ruby: Mercury, what are you doing? You were hurt! Why..... What's going on?

Mercury doesn't answer, still grinning with malice

Ruby: Fine. If you're not going to tell me...

She attempts to move around him, but he blocks her path, then does it again when she sidesteps. Then Oobleck's voice sounds over the announcement system to draw Ruby's attention away.

Oobleck: Fighters, are you ready?

Mercury smirks at this.... and then.

Oobleck: BEGIN!!!

Mercury: Showtime.

He goes forward, blocking Ruby's path with his arms outstretched, restraining her movements no matter where she moves. Panicked, she grimaces and spins forward, becoming a blur of red and petals rocketing toward Mercury, only for the villain to kick her mid-dash with his boots and knock her to the ground. He advances on her just as she gets her out Scroll, about to push the button to call for help when a bullet shatters the device into several shards.

Mercury: Let's just keep this between us friends. 

He dashes forwards, but was suddenly intercepted by a small frozen projectile in the face. Mercury reels back from the sudden attack, and manages to catch the next incoming one, only to see it was just a frozen kernel of popcorn.

???:
Friends? Since when?

Ruby and Mercury turns towards the sound of the voice in surprise to see you leaning against the wall, a bucket of popcorn in hand, with frozen kernels of it floating circularly on your hand, signifying you were behind the 'assault'.

Ruby:
(Y/N)!

Ruby leaps into your arms, nearly knocking the both of you to the ground, but you kept your footing as you held her with your free hand. You separated yourself from her as you glared at Mercury, who returns the gesture more.

You: Get out of here.

Ruby:
B-But---

You: I'll buy you some time! Goddamn it! Just go! GO!!!

Ruby was surprised by your sudden raise in voice, but her face quickly turned into determination as she nodded to your in response and she rushed by as fast as she could. He was about to intercept her, but he heard the sudden sound of an ice forming below him. He looked down to see one of his boot frozen to the ground firmly, then launches himself up to get free. You turned back towards Mercury, who had taken up his battle stance.

You: You didn't think I would let my girlfriend get hurt by the hands of you, or feet in your case, now did you?

Mercury: She was being a pe--

Mercury was cut-off mid-sentence, the bucket of popcorn was thrown towards his face, but he obliterates it with his boots, sending all the popcorn in all directions.

You: Now that's just good popcorn you've wasted there, mate.

You said this as you unsheathed your sword from your back.

You: You and your group are really pissing me off.

You quickly rushed at him using your Semblance by turning yourself into your snow form then suddenly turning back right in front of him. He reels back by the sudden appearance before you started unleashing flurry of attacks. You swatted the side of his head by using the blunt side of your sword, then sweeping him off his feet. Ice began forming around your sword, turning it into a heavy sword. Just as you brought it down towards Mercury, he blocked it using his boots, creating a small shockwave around you. In a split second, you summoned your ice sword swung it towards his feet. Your strike made its mark as you hear the clang of metal as it did. In retaliation, he kicked you back, before doing a backspring away from you.

You: So, was the Lien worth for gaining you your Prosthetic Metal Legs?

Mercury remains silent, shocked at the sudden revelation.

Mercury:
How do you know that?!

You: Let's just say 'The only man who could only beat your old man' gave me every bit of information about you and your father.

Mercury: Th-That's impossible... The only one who would've beat him was.... Don't tell me you had contact with "The Timekeeper"?!

You: Why not? He's my dad after all.

With this, Mercury glares even more as he started rushing towards you, starting his own all out attack against you. You were able to block most of his attacks easily enough, only needing to use your semblance to  enhance your speed up a few times. But continuously doing this made your Aura level to drain down.

Mercury: Getting tired?

You: Don't.... screw with me!

Seeing an opportunity, you grabbed his incoming leg with your ice fists and threw him back. You were desperately keeping your emotions in and the Power of the Winter Maiden in check of not unleashing it, that it took all of your willpower to keep it in control. You had no choice, and you were getting weaker because of the fact that almost all of your Aura is connected to it. 

Mercury rushed towards you again, by jumping up as he is about to send an axe kick towards you. You blocked the boot with your blade, sparks flew between your weapons as you pushed him backwards. Mercury, however, was just able to recover quick enough to dodge the incoming slash you that were about to send towards him, backflipping away from you to get earn himself some distance.

You: You... You know.... you can't..... win this. I'm stronger than you.

Mercury: Oh, really? You're frequent panting says otherwise.

You: I said... don't.... screw.... with... me.... You have no idea how much power dwells inside me. 

Mercury: Then why don't you show it?

He mocks as he goes back to his battle stance. You weren't able to contain your anger any longer as you bowed your head down, and closed your eyes.

You: (In head) Mother, Uncle, and everyone who has given their life in the past to protect me: Forgive me.

With that, you suddenly raised your head at him with a scowl on your face, your eyes glowing intensely at Mercury. Meanwhile with Emerald still squinting down on the arena, the sharp sound of Emerald's Semblance is heard as Penny's eight swords double, then triple, multiplying into an unreal thicket of blades. At the sight of this, Pyrrha unsteadily steps back, both in reality where the eight swords are ready to go forth and in the hallucinated world, where the cloud of weapons thicken to even block the crowds around her.

Claire and Tealle, invisible, finally arrive on the stadium. Tealle narrows her eyes, and sees that Pyrrha wasn’t looking directly at her opponent, she was looking around. With the arena being above-ground level, Claire uses her own aura to enhance her jump and grabs Tealle's hand, forcing Tealle to use more aura for her grasp. 

Claire: Take Pyrrha, I'll get Penny.

With a nod, Tealle runs to Pyrrha and Claire runs to Penny, but it was too late. Penny sends them all forward, few in reality and hundreds strong in Pyrrha's mind. Tealle's body slowly appears on the arena as she tackles Pyrrha to the ground after she unleashed her semblance on Penny under an illusion. Penny is ripped apart when Claire, who was beginning to slowly appear on the arena grounds, was inches away from Penny, her hand outstretched towards her.

Meanwhile, Sky, not being able to understand what was going on relying who was currently relying only on his hearing, puts on his extra set of glasses with the same functions, and becomes so shocked that he was brought down to his knees.

Sky: No..... This... This can't be...

Just then, the sound of cries and screams of shock and horror was enough to halt your revealing. Something bad seemed to have happened. Your eyes have gone back to their original color as you turned to Mercury, who had also heard the cries, and now had a triumphant smirk on his face.

You: What did you do?

Mercury: Oh, nothing really. Why don't you see it for yourself?

You quickly turned back towards the direction Ruby had gone, with Mercury slowly tailing behind you, laughing coldly at the situation. After a few moments of sprinting you charged the door of the service tunnel out of your way and turned to a corner. You were greeted by the sight of Ruby on her knees, tears filling up her eyes. Worried, you ran up to gaze down at the arena field and your eyes widen at what you saw.

You: No...

As you stood there, you saw the figure of Tealle, who seem to have knock Pyrrha to the ground, with Claire standing solely by herself as she gazes down at Penny in pieces on the ground.

Ruby: Penny...

You: No.. No, no, no. No!

You shook your head unbelievably as you started walking backwards. Then you broke into a full sprint yet again as you ran back to the service tunnel.

You: Mercury, come back you little piece of--

Just as you opened the door, you were greeted by him, only for you to get kicked hardly on the stomach, which was enough to drain your remaining Aura, then towards your head, strong enough to be kicked to the wall hard and lose consciousness from the impact. Ruby sees this and runs up to your unconscious body, desperately shaking you to wake you up.

She stops when the displays around the arena suddenly changed. They showed a reddish background with a black queen chess pieces over it. All the crowds' eyes were on the monitors as the speakers began to ring out a message around the stadium. 

???: This is not a tragedy. This was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust, your safety, your children, to men who claim to be our guardians, but are, in reality, nothing more than men. Our Academies' Headmasters wield more power than most armies, and one was audacious enough to control both.

Ironwood, realizing who she's talking about, grimaces and rises from his seat, marching up the steps. Sky rises up from his knees was about to follow him, but he shook his head and decided to look for you instead.

???: They cling to this power in the name of peace, and yet, what do we have here? One nation's attempt at a synthetic army, mercilessly torn apart by another's star pupil. What need would Atlas have for a soldier disguised as an innocent little girl? I don't think the Grimm can tell the difference.

When Tealle and Pyrrha got up, the latter holds a hand to her mouth in dread as she continues to stare at the remains of Penny, eyes watering, a single tear falling, with the former running up to her partner, as she sobs in Claire's shoulder. 

???: And what, I ask you, is Ozpin teaching his students? First a dismemberment, now this? Huntsmen and Huntresses should carry themselves with honor and mercy, yet I have witnessed neither. Perhaps Ozpin felt as though defeating Atlas in the Tournament would help people forget his colossal failure to protect Vale when the Grimm invaded its streets. Or perhaps this was his message to the tyrannical dictator that has occupied an unsuspecting kingdom with armed forces. Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue as to who is right and who is wrong. But I know the existence of peace is fragile, and the leaders of our kingdoms conduct their business with iron gloves. As someone who hails from Mistral, I can assure you the situation there is... equally undesirable. Our Kingdoms are on the brink of war, yet we, the citizens, are left in the dark. So I ask you: When the first shots are fired... who do you think you can trust?

As the woman finished her announcement, the monitors around the stadium turned to static as the crowds stood in silence. Then the sound of a wailing alarm throughout the structure, with Humans and Faunus looking up in alarm at the orange flashing screens reading "CAUTION".

Warning Announcer: Alert. Incoming Grimm attack. Threat level: Nine. Please seek shelter in a calm and orderly manner.

The crowds begin to flee, wild and screaming, through the exit tunnels, while Ironwood enters the announcers' box and grabs the microphone from between Port and Oobleck.

Ironwood: Ladies and gentlemen, please. There is no need for panic.

With that said, and ironically, appears atop the arena's domed force field, giving a series of deafening screeches as it claws and pecks at the defense with its beak. In the headmaster's office, Ozpin is gripping his cane tight, watching the city come under attack with a horrified expression. Just then, Qrow and Glynda enter the office

Qrow:  Oz!

Ozpin: Get to the city! And make sure (Your Dad's/Name) is there!

Qrow: But-

Ozpin: NOW!

Qrow and Glynda exchange a look before going back the way they came. Back in the stadium, Sky is making his way through the crowd as he squeezes himself between the people who are going towards the opposite way. After a couple of struggles, Sky finds Ruby kneeling next to someone.

Sky: Ruby! There you are! Have you seen...... Cap!

When he sees that it was you, he kneels himself down next to Ruby.

Sky: What happened, Ruby?

Ruby only kept herself silent, as if she'd lost her sense of hearing. Ruby stays kneeling on the ground with her head down, her expression in a mixture of shock and sadness, with Sky gazing at her out of confusion at her attitude....
