Tyrian pulls his tail back from Qrow after Qrow had revealed himself to RNJPR. Qrow turns around, swinging his weapon and holding at the ready by his side.

Tyrian: As I live and breathe, Qrow Branwen. A true Huntsman has entered the fray!

Ruby gets up and sets Crescent Rose on its end and then straightens her hat. Qrow glances back at her.

Ruby: I don't know, this guy's weird.

Qrow looks at Tyrian.

Qrow: Look, pal, I'm not sure who you are, but you need to leave my niece alone.

Tyrian chortles.

Tyrian: Why, friend, my name is Tyrian. And I'm afraid that is not possible. My assignment from Her Grace was to retrieve this young girl. So, that is what I must do. One does not upset the Queen.

Ruby: Queen?

Qrow: Salem.

Ruby: Who?

Tyrian: Hmm, I think we've had enough talk now, don't you?

Tyrian assumes a crouching position.

Qrow: Took the words right out of—

Tyrian rushes Qrow before he can finish voicing the thought and the two fight in a way the author can't properly describe because he sucks at describing fight scenes. A roof gets damaged when Tyrian and Qrow clash blades and Tyrian uses the bullet capability in the gloves of his wrist blades to shoot at Qrow while running around him. Ren and Nora join in, but Tyrian easily gets them away. He moves to chase them, but Qrow intervenes by clashing his blade with Tyrian's.

Qrow: Don't come closer!

Ruby: Fine!

She takes Crescent Rose to the top of a building and waits for an opening to shoot Tyrian. However, both he and Qrow move too fast for her to get a clear shot.

Tyrian manages to uses his tail to disarm Qrow. This slows things down enough for Ruby to repeatedly shoot at him from the roof, but Tyrian just deflects each with his tail.

Qrow switches to punching Tyrian in face. With a final kick, he is successful enough to beat Tyrian down and casually move to retrieve his weapon from where it embedded in a wall. Tyrian waits until Qrow has his back turned before striking, but Qrow merely leaps on top of his own weapon and activates its scythe mode. The two continue to battle, their fight taking them to a roof top. They appear evenly matched until Tyrian descends into the building and uses his tail to drag Qrow down, too.

This is enough to make Ruby decide to no longer stay back. Just as she reaches the building, Qrow comes out through a wall, his body and his weapon bouncing. The weapon lands with its blade in the ground, and Qrow perches atop it. Red flickers of damaged Aura move over his body twice.

Tyrian comes out of the floating dust and grime inside the building, purple flickers moving across his body. As the two begin to strike again, Ruby jumps in between and deflects Tyrian's blades with Crescent Rose.

Jaune: Ruby!

Ren holds Jaune back from moving forward.

Tyrian: Do you wish to be taken?

Ruby: No! But I won't stand by and watch someone get hurt!

Both Qrow and Ruby move in to attack Tyrian and the three clash. His eyes purple again, Tyrian almost gets her with his stinger, but Qrow blocks it.

Qrow: Ruby! What did I say?! Get back!

Ruby: This is my fight, too!

She attacks Tyrian while he's still locked blade-to-blade with Qrow, but his legs arch away from the swing of Crescent Rose.

Qrow: No, it's not that. It's—

Ruby attacks again, and Tyrian moves to her. He flips and sends her back with a two-footed kick. She slides closer to the building and gains her ground, but the wooden beams near the roof have been shaken up too much and a heavy one breaks and descends upon her. Qrow slices it in half so it falls in pieces to either side of Ruby without touching her.

Ruby smiles at Qrow, and he raises his head from his stance to look at her. Tyrian tried to take advantage of this moment to thrust his stinger at Qrow. Suddenly, a scythe flies past Qrow and Ruby as it slices off Tyrian's stinger and they hear him screaming in pain. The scorpion Faunus takes a few steps away from the two.

Tyrian: WHAT THE HELL?!

They hear footsteps on the road. Qrow and Ruby along with JNPR turn to see Reaper standing in the street with enflamed red eyes.

Ruby: R-reaper?

Pyrrha: How...?

Reaper walks past Qrow and Ruby towards Tyrian.

Tyrian: YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!!

He gives a low chuckle as he backs away from the revived Reaper before getting punched in the face, causing him to spit out blood and fall to the ground. Tyrian looks up at Reaper and crawls backwards to get away from him. He gives a low maniacal laugh and speaks to himself.

Tyrian: It's okay, she'll forgive you.

Reaper grabs his scythe and aims it at Tyrian. The psycho flinches before seeing Reaper motion the scythe upward, gesturing for him to get out of here. Tyrian stand up and flees, knowing he doesn't stand a chance against Reaper and Qrow, especially now.

Reaper turns to face Qrow and Ruby only to get nearly tackled to the ground by Ruby as she hugs him. Reaper hears Ruby crying on his new outfit and he hugs her back.

Qrow: Reaper, you're... You're alive!!

Qrow raises his arms all excited that his friend is back. Reaper looks at Qrow and nods. Ruby breaks off the hug as JNPR runs up to them.

Nora: Who was that guy?

Ren: How did you two get here?

Pyrrha: How are you alive, Reaper?!

Jaune: Why are people after Ruby?

Ruby: Uncle Qrow? What's going on?

Qrow: What's your favorite fairy tale?

End Part!
