Guys, can we get back to being serious now?

1. Penny either dies completely because Cinder wrecks her core, or is destroyed yet again and Pietro dies bringing her back.

2. Ruby and Weiss fight Ironwood and lose, partly due to being extremely outclassed and partly due to a falling-out between the two about what to do - Ruby wants to prioritise stopping Ironwood, while Weiss thinks they should make sure the Winter Maiden is secure.

3. Playing off number 1, Cinder destroys Penny and holds her core hostage to threaten Winter into opening the Vault of Atlas.

4. Team ALPN fight Neo and do decently, but Jaune is stopped from striking a critical blow by Neo taking the shape of Pyrrha. In response to this, Nora goes full FMA-Brotherhood-Mustang on Neo's ass and winds up critically injured as a result.

5. Cinder and Winter fight using Maiden powers, with assistance from Blake and Yang (Blake loses a leg in the process and Yang's prosthetic is destroyed), and their fight disrupts the Staff's power enough to cause Atlas to fall. Winter is able to adjust its course so that Mantle is not crushed, but it lands hard enough that power goes out across the entire city.
