1 - You run and Atlas falls.

2 - You fight, you die, and Atlas falls.

Does that about sum it up, or am I missing something? I think Ozpin's help is going to be the Deus ex Machina. Whatever trick Ozpin has up his sleeve, whether it's a way to stop Salem's army and make her leave or it has something to do with how CRWBY have said "Ozpin's cane stores time", he's gonna be the one who brings victory for the good guys.

Cinder and Ironwood both said "The timeline has changed" in this volume, and we finally saw the cane itself in action, being used for something other than slapping and poking enemies. The last thing we hear from Oscar in the finale is him demanding that Ozpin tell him how to save Atlas.

It's simple.
