Maybe Mercury was waiting in a paramedic air bus... ship, just in case they needed him for anything. Emerald saw Ruby, watched Ruby take off, and called Mercury on her Scroll to alert him that Ruby was acting suspiciously.

For Ruby to be doomed, we'd have to have things like...


 * The maintenance hall doors are locked now, so she can't just run away and leave. This is a big one. If Emerald locks the door on her side, someone else (maybe Neo) could lock the door Ruby entered. Bam, Ruby's trapped. All she can do is run up and down the hall with nowhere to hide, while Mercury plays cat and mouse.


 * Mercury's Semblance could be something that would help him keep up with her or fight her more easily.


 * Mercury could direct the air projectiles he fires in a way where the way they burst on the floor messes Ruby up. He'd just need to fire a lot of them and direct them all to the general area that she's running to.
