RWBY V5 C10

## Plot

Ozpin and Qrow are talking about humanity and the recently deceased huntsmen. Ruby comes in to talk to them. She asks them if, since Cinder is now the Fall Maiden, does that mean that Salem has the Beacon relic? Ozpin says that she doesn't, because he made the relic at Beacon a bit more difficult to find than the others. She, like most of the FNDM, thought that Ozpin's cane was the relic, but he confirms that it isn't. While it's far from an ordinary cane, it's also a precious object to Ozpin, but not a relic. Qrow gets a call from Lionheart. He claims that he had a breakthrough with the council and wants them to meet with him tomorrow night. Ruby is excited and runs off to tell the others. However, Ozpin and Qrow are suspicious. It turns out that Raven went to Mistral to see Leo, because she's in his office. He's feeling quite a few emotions in this scene, like fear, regret, etc. Raven claims that by saving his own skin, he's being smart like her, and that there's no shame in that. He asks her who she's trying to convince. The fact that she leaves without another word is telling. In Menagerie, the attack on the Belladonna home continues. Kali is still alive, and is fighting some of the White Fang with some guards present. The gun she took runs out of ammo though, so she uses a tea tray to block a bullet. Yuma comes in and attempts to strangle a guard, but Kali smacks him with the tea tray. Ilia attempts to attack Blake, but she just gets her shadow clone. The two girls fight. Or rather, Ilia fights while Blake tries not to because she doesn't want to. After Ilia turns the lights off, she uses her camouflage abilities to blend into the darkness and attack. Blake uses some fire Dust to ignite some plants on the second floor balcony, revealing Ilia's location. She uses ice Dust and fires some bullets at Ilia, which she blocks with her electrical whip-sword-gun. However, that was Blake's plan, since the ice Dust froze the weapon. Blake disarms Ilia and pins her to the ground. She tells her that there's always another choice, that her parents wouldn't want this for her, and that she's still a good person, but she's making all the wrong decisions. Ilia breaks down crying, admitting that she doesn't know what else to do. Suddenly, Corsac is thrown through the wall, dropping his and Fennec's daggers. Ghira jumps into the room after him. When he sees Blake, Fennec takes the opportunity to stab him. This in turn distracts Blake, which leads to Ilia kicking her into a chair, knocking her out. Ghira throws Fennec off of him and takes the dagger out of his back. He and Corsac trade blows, neither being able to land a hit. When Ilia shows hesitance about attacking, and possibly who to attack, Fennec yells at her to fight. He and Corsac take on Ghira, who uses his own weapon to knock Corsac out. Sun kicks Fennec away from Ghira, who tells him to go help Blake, who has regained consciousness. Sun angrily attacks Ilia, knowing she must have hurt her. Also, the shotgun nunchucks return, and they are still awesome. Sun is able to pin Ilia against a pillar, which starts cracking. However, Blake pleads for them both to stop with tears in her eyes. Ilia pushes Sun off her but falls to the ground. Sun hits the pillar, which starts to collapse, along with the balcony it was supporting. He moves out of the way, but Ilia… Is unexpectedly saved from being crushed by Ghira, who holds the whole thing up, just like Atlas. The one from Greek mythology, not the kingdom in the show. Sun creates two clones to help him. Fennec takes the opportunity to try and attack Ghira with both daggers, but Blake uses her ribbon to pull her dad out just in time. Instead, Fennec is crushed by the balcony, and the Dust in the weapons results in an explosion. He's definitely dead from that. Because this is not *Die Hard*. Kali comes in with an unconscious Yuma in tow. She and Blake hug. Corsac is absolutely livid from his brother's death, and attempts to attack Sun and the Belladonnas while unarmed. However, Ilia electrocutes him with her weapon and knocks him out, cementing whose side she's on now. Outside the manor, a huge crowd of Faunus have gathered. The Belladonnas, Sun, Ilia, and some guards come out, along with injured White Fang members, who are promptly arrested. Blake gives a speech to the crowd, saying that the Faunus are just as capable of hate and violence as humans, whether to humans or to themselves. By doing nothing and staying silent, they let others speak and act in their place. If they're not happy with the choices those people make, then they have no one to blame but themselves. They're looking for a simple solution to a very complicated problem, which just isn't possible. She knows that asking them to leave their homes and risk their lives is asking a lot, but that's what's at stake, and she'll stand by herself if she has to. Ilia loudly proclaims that she'll stand with her, if they're willing to have her. Saber Rodentia is against the idea, but Blake forgives her, and Ghira is proud of her for doing so. Mata, a ram Faunus from an earlier episode, says that he'll go too, as well as a female aquatic Faunus. Lots of people volunteer to join the fight. Sun points out that Ilia stabbed him, but he just pinches her to get even. Aw! Forgiveness! They have work to do. There are only two weeks left until Adam's attack. They need to train everyone on how to fight, and get transportation. Luckily, Blake and Sun know a ship captain who owes them a favor.
