All I know is, if that's really Mercury, Ruby's not getting out of there. Without her scythe, she doesn't stand a chance. Her sembalance is speed, can't she out run any of them? If not, please explain without brining it down to writers choice of narrative, or it's so obvious. She doesn't stand a chance fighting him, if she ends up forced to fight.

I can't help but wonder if Emerald, and possibly Cinder, are going to lock the doors so she can't leave the corridor until Mercury gives the okay.

Actually, on top of that, I can't help but wonder if the Emerald that Ruby saw in the stands was real or a hallucination. Uuugh...

It also depends on whether or not Mercury can get himself moving at a high enough speed by using the air that his prosthetics can expel/shoot to propel himself.

And, of course, there's the fact that he can, y'know, send balls of condensed air at her while she runs. He can also shoot at her, but the air bursting around her would cause more problems than bullets.
