Qrow limps over towards the group and Helios growls "Sorry about that." Qrow shrugs "It happens. Actually, that was more my fault than anything else." Helios chuckles "I shoot you and it's somehow your fault?"

Qrow sits on the ground leaning against a tree "That's what happens when you have a semblance that gives everyone around you bad luck." Helios leans against a tree, coughing up black blood and he gasps for air "That woman did a number on me."

Ruby frowns "Everyone is hurt. Can we call Ironwood to pick us up? We won't make it to the next town." Qrow nods "Good idea." Qrow pulls out his scroll.

Weiss raises her sword high and a sigil appears on the floor, and from this sigil rises the knight. Weiss celebrates this too soon, as the moment she breaks her concentration it breaks apart like it was made of glass. She sighs deeply, taking a few seconds to catch her breath before reforming the sigil. Penny knocks on her bedroom window "Weiss!" Weiss drops her sword and nearly jumps out of her socks "Penny!"

Penny nods "Yep!" Weiss stares at Penny "Penny. My bedroom isn't on the ground floor." Penny smiles "Can you let me in?" Weiss nods a little and she opens one side of the window. Penny leaps in the room and stumbles a little, falling on Weiss' bed. She leaps back to her feet and salutes Weiss "Salutations friend Weiss."

Weiss puts a finger to her lips "Penny, keep it down a little. You are trespassing right now." Penny nods a little and Weiss sighs "What did you need?" Penny draws one of her swords and smiles "I've come to train with you on summoning glyphs. Also I figured we would get on our way and catch up with Ruby. It will take a few days, but I can move without rest."

Weiss growls "Well, you might as well go by yourself. My father forbade me from leaving." Penny giggles "Okay, then I'll break you out. Or, we can take the easier option. Maybe Ironwood could help." Weiss smiles, a finger to her chin "I'm listening."

A few hours later, James walks into the Schnee household with an escort of soldiers. Weiss' father runs over towards Ironwood "Ironwood, what is the meaning of this?" Ironwood sighs and pulls out a warrant "This is a warrant for the arrest of Ms. Weiss Schnee. And before you ask, yes, this is about her attempted murder of the woman from the fundraiser."

He goes wide eyed "We had an agreement…" Ironwood grins "Yes, well when the woman decided to press charges, that deal became null and void. You are not above the law." He watches Ironwood march into Weiss' room, completely speechless. Weiss screams out as Ironwood grabs her by her arm, half dragging her out of the house. Penny follows Ironwood and they get in the chopper together. Ironwood smiles over at Weiss "I wasn't too rough, was I?" Weiss smirks "Please, I may be a woman but I'm not some dainty princess."

Penny frowns "What about your fortune?" Weiss folds her arms "I was struck from the inheritance. I'm no longer the heiress to the Schnee dust company. As far as my family is concerned, I'm not a Schnee. I'm just a troublemaker."

Weiss turns when she hears a familiar voice behind her "Way to prove them right, Ice Queen." Weiss smiles wide "Blake." Blake gives her a small smile "It's good to get the family back together. We have Yolanda here in spirit, and we are going to be reuniting with Ruby. Kinda wish I never left to be honest."

Weiss folds her arms "Oh come on, we all know you ran away so you could read in peace." Blake smiles a little, pulling out a book from her backpack.

Ironwood pulls out his scroll as it rings "It's Qrow." He answers it "Yeah? Wow, that's rough. Yeah we are on our way to you. I brought backup… we will be-" A blast hits the side of the chopper and blasts apart most of the right side.

As everyone comes to, Penny uses her robotic strength to move aside the rubble of the chopper, pulling out a wounded Weiss and a severely wounded Ironwood. Not even a minute after Penny drags them all to safety, the remains of the burning chopper explodes. Penny frowns over at the burning wreckage "So… we won't be fixing that."

Ironwood holds his injured side, growling "This isn't good. Ruby said most of her group is injured and they may still be in danger. Now we are days away from their location with no transport. Anyone's scroll functioning?" Blake pulls her scroll from her coat "Looks like we don't get signal out here."

Penny nods "In that case, I'm going to run ahead and help Ruby. I'm a robot, I don't need rest." Ironwood nods "There is also another concern. Whatever shot us down is still here." Penny salutes "Good luck team. I'll make sure friend Ruby gets to Mistral safe."
