Our Way

A Leviathan has emerged from the ocean depths and now threatens to destroy the city of Argus. With Cordo's Colossus incapacitated, the Atlas Base has little they can do to protect the people.

"Our Way" is the seventy-ninth episode of RWBY and the thirteenth and finale episode of Volume 6. It premiered for Rooster Teeth FIRST members on January 26th, 2019 and was made public on the Rooster Teeth site on February 2nd, 2019.

Summary
In a forest clearing, Neopolitan shows Cinder Fall a stolen Mistral airship. Cinder points out that it will get them to Solitas, but will not get them into Atlas, to which Neo responds by using her Semblance to disguise it as Atlesian. As they board, Cinder mentions Pyrrha Nikos's dying inquiry of whether she believed in destiny, and comments she still does.

In Argus, as Grimm attack, attracted by the fight resulting from Jaune Arc's plot to steal an airship, Caroline Cordovin, struggling to lift the badly damaged cannon arm of the Colossus, loudly assigns the blame to the participants in the theft. Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long return from their fight with Adam Taurus, and Weiss Schnee tells them that Argus is under attack by a Leviathan and that the hijackers have disabled the only thing capable of stopping it.

Maria Calavera suggests they use the Grimm attack as cover to take the stolen airship to Atlas, but the others refuse out of hand. With one of two perimeter shields destroyed, the Atlesian fighters prepare to evacuate the city, but Ruby Rose tells them she can stop the Leviathan. She is told that because her ship is flagged as hostile, she will receive no support, but attacks regardless.

After an ineffective attack from the airship, after which the Leviathan destroys the second shield, damaging buildings in the city itself, Weiss Schnee uses her Semblance to give Ruby a Summon of a Lancer to ride. She approaches the Leviathan and tries to put herself in the state of mind to use her eyes, but fails when her memories turn to the deaths of Pyrrha and Penny Polendina and the loss of Yang's arm. To buy herself time, she stops time by summoning Jinn, who warns she will not allow this again. Ruby's memories return to thoughts of life, ending with the face of Summer Rose, which lets her petrify the Leviathan.

Soon after, however, it becomes clear that the Leviathan is not totally petrified, but only encased in stone. As it begins to fight itself loose, Cordovin returns, having torn off the damaged arm, and kills the Leviathan with a drill fitted to the other. Ruby thanks her and apologizes, and Cordovin allows her and her co-conspirators to leave.

As they approach Atlas, the passengers congratulate one another on their respective efforts. When Ruby comments on Oscar Pine's feat of crash-landing the airship, he confesses that Ozpin guided him, but did not take over, and then went silent again. When they arrive at Atlas, which is seen to be on an island floating well above the continent, Weiss notes the strange formation of the air fleet, which Qrow Branwen notes seems to be expecting an attack. The ship is waved in.

In an after-credit scene, Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black watch Salem create winged Beringels. Hazel Rainart comments that anyone who wants something done right should do it personally.
