RWBY V5 C13

## Plot

Mercury disarms Ruby, but she dodges his punch, headbutts him, and gets Crescent Rose back. Nora informs Jaune that he's healing Weiss because of his Semblance. Jaune says that it's more like he's using his Aura to amplify hers, as shown when the color changes from white to light blue. That was his ultimate move in the game *RWBY: Grimm Eclipse*. Nora asks him if he's worried about running out. He isn't, because Pyrrha once told him that he had a lot of Aura. Weiss regains consciousness. Ren and Qrow are easily beaten down by Hazel, and Nora leaves to help them. She uses her Semblance to throw him. Ozpin explains that Hazel's Semblance means that he can't feel pain, which is how he's able to handle infusing so much Dust into his body. Just because he can't feel pain doesn't mean that he can't take damage though. Nora sends him flying outside with her hammer. He injects fire Dust into his body. Blake shows up and asks Adam and the White Fang to surrender. Ghira and Sun show up with the Faunus army. Then Kali shows up with the Mistral police. He's hopelessly outnumbered, but Adam refuses to give up. He decides to detonate the explosives to kill everyone, including himself and his followers. Luckily, Ilia was sent ahead and disarmed them all. Hazel refuses to help Adam. He charges at Blake in a blind fury, but she uses her Semblance to dodge and hits him on the back. He orders the White Fang to kill everyone, and a fight breaks out. Hazel is impaled by the stinger of Weiss's new Queen Lancer summon and dragged back into the room, which Blake sees. Everyone freezes when they see her. Sadly, they don't have time for a happy reunion, because their enemies are still around. Yang heads for the vault while Blake goes back to the Faunus. Mercury tries to stop Yang by grabbing her robotic arm. Her eyes turn red, but they quickly go back to normal and she just detaches the arm. Weiss creates an ice wall so Emerald and Mercury can't follow her. Raven and Cinder have an epic fight. Seriously guys, go watch it for yourselves, because words cannot describe the sheer amazing–ness that is this fight scene. *This is the end Here's where you'll die Legends should scatter So just say goodbye No one will miss you When you're finally gone At your conclusion Sing your swan song Murder Unkindness Conspiracy Embers extinguished in effigy Black out the sky All things must die* Cinder's Aura can't protect her Grimm arm. Raven proves that experience is more important than power. Vernal is barely alive, and uses her last moments to distract Cinder. Raven uses this to push her off the platform. Her mask is destroyed, and she's frozen. Cinder has literally fallen, but we don't know for sure if she's dead or not. Her face doesn't look as horrible as I thought it would. I think Zuko's scar from *Avatar: The Last Airbender* looks better. Then again, his face was burned, and he at least has both of his eyes. Vernal is dead, and Raven thanks her for her loyalty and service. She opens the vault. The relic appears to be in some desert dimension or something. Before she can take it, Raven is distracted by Yang entering.

## Review

I loved this episode! In a straight fight, Raven would totally beat Yang, but the fight with Cinder depleted Raven's Aura. That being said, Raven is still the Spring Maiden, and Yang only has one arm to fight with. It could end up being a similar situation to chapter 9, where even if the audience thinks that a fight is going to break out, the creators go in a different direction and have the two factions make a deal instead. While Cinder really being dead would be an unexpected twist, I don't think it's going to happen, even if I really, *really* want it to.
