As the titan that had been latched onto the ship was distrated... It gave
Giorno,
Shichika,
Connor, and any others who rushed into the crashed airship a very good opportunity to assess the contents within. While there were certainly alot of mangled androids that looked to have been outfitted for battle, including one that seemed to be piloting the ship... There was also a
large stockpiles of weapons and ammunition.
Rather high tech
swords...
Pistols, and what looked to be
rifles of some sort lined the walls, and a few of them seemed to have come loose and fallen onto the floor, accompanied with
ammunition for the respective weapons at hand.
The ship's lights seemed to be flickering a little, as power was slowly but surely, returning to its systems after the titan ontop of it had unlatched itself... Indicating that it must have been feeding off of the ship's energy... Somehow...

The titan had just begun to recover from its momentary blindness as Ruby and the rest of her team arrived on the scene... And reared back, letting out another shrill shriek as it charged towards those that were fighting it...
Seeing that it was proving to be quite the difficult target to hit, thanks to its erratic movements... Ruby stopped, rubbing her chin for a moment, with Blake stopping not far behind, who then seemed to begin to follow the titan's movements with her eyes... Somehow... Without saying anything.
"We've got to slow it down!" Ruby suddenly shouted, pausing for a moment as she ran through a few moves they had practiced as a team.
Then, she suddenly grinned, turning to Weiss.
"Weiss!-..." She shouted, before cutting herself off, realizing she had unwittingly yelled in her team-mates face.
"Oops... Um... I mean... Let's ice-flower it!" She called, a little less loud this time.
Though she realized that this alone may not do the trick, seeing that the titan seemed to regenerate considerably faster than the others.
"Aaand... Blake? Yang?" She said, turning towards them respectively as she spoke, pausing a little for a (melo)dramatic effect.
"Break its legs!" She said, rather enthusiastically.
While the young huntress in training usually didn't act like this, it seemed that she was getting a bit carried away in the heat of battle...
But together, they might just be able to pull this off!
"And how do you propose we do that?" Weiss called in return when her teammate declared they needed to slow the behemoth down, having followed her team down to face the titan with relative ease. But even their attacks seemed to be doing little, her assault briefly pausing as she landed just beside Ruby.
Just in time to be yelled at, right in her face.
Briefly glowering at her teammate, though she was quick to shake her annoyance off, Weiss sighed before nodding when Ruby finally finished her thought, thankfully more quietly. In fact, the heiress went as far as to grin faintly, pointing her rapier at the Titan without hesitation.
"Hmph." Without another word, icy glyphs began to appear in the air before her blade, grin remaining present as she looked to her leader, awaiting her move before contributing further to their well-devised attack.
"Fire when ready!"
Upon hearing her baby sister's instruction, Yang grew rather giddy. The blonde was the
perfect candidate when it came to breaking things, considering that she was incredibly strong. And with Blake along with her, they'd take down the Titan without much of a problem! Pounding her fists together, Yang stared her target down.
"Broken legs? Leave it to me!"
She then glanced over at Blake and a smirk grew on her lips.
"Bet I can break one leg before you break the other!"
And with that, she ran towards the Titan.
Blake smirked, seeming to take her teammate up to the challenge, uncharacteristically, before she rushed towards the titan, aiming to tear away at its left leg as Yang appeared to be aiming to break its right one with her sheer strength.
As Ruby, with the help of Weiss's help
opened fire on the titan, Weiss's glyphs appeared to turn the shots from her sniper scythe into an icy barrage of projectiles, which
froze up the titan's body momentarily, allowing for it to receive the full force of the numerous attacks sent in its direction.
First, came
Noembelu and
Huntress, who respectively dealt a blow to the nape of the titan's neck... However, it appeared that this titan had
mysterious growths protecting its nape, which absorbed the damage, rather than its nape itself.
As it broke free of its icy prison,
Blake and
Howlett began to
tear away at the titan's limbs, with Blake seeming to take particular care to slash away at its tendons keeping the titan
immobilized as its left leg was broken by
Eygon's hammer, with a second, resounding crunch coming from its right leg as
Yang's fists of fury pummeled it...
With
both legs immobilized, and little time to recover... The titan let out another ear piercing shriek, about to unleash a shockwave, but this time... It was
interrupted by Eevee's sonic attack, which seemed to have
slowed but not stopped the advancement of its shockwave.
However, fortunately, even when the shockwave would inevitably overpower Eevee's sonic attack, it was
completely dissipated when it was reflected by
Echo Echo's soundwaves reached it... In combination with
Rui's pokemon, that unleashed a combination of various attacks, wracking the titan's immobilized bodies with countless injuries... And had it not been for its regenerative properties, it might have been completely obliterated...
This allowed an opportunity for
Dio's assault on the nape of its neck which quickly
demolished the growths protecting its nape faster than they could regenerate as it was
struck with numerous arrows from Yoichi... This allowed the combined blows from a few of the group members in the form of
Link's
energy slash,
Azuma's axes, and
Noctowl's airslash, amongst who knows how many other blows to the nape of its neck finally
brought the titan down for good.
Letting out, one last, bellowing screech, it
collapsed to the ground, a thick cloud of black smoke erupting from its body as it began to vaporize... Leaving nothing but a
quickly fading puddle of black goo-like substance behind...
With the aberrant titan vanquished, it seemed that
everyone's powers were returning to normal... For now.

Well, fortunately the battle appeared to be
nearing its conclusion, so as a result... It wasn't really that hard for
Blaze to escape the carnage, seeing that there were
numerous civilians doing the same.
@LuckycoolHawk9
The woman seemed to have her attention focused on the exits, which had just recently been
unblocked on account of the titans being more concentrated on fighting (and losing to) those that were attacking them. That and their numbers had thinned, seeming to cause her frown to lift a little.
"As I said. I'm fine." She said, evidently not in the mood for conversation.
There was a slight pause as she seemed to think for a moment, before she stood upright... Appearing to be getting ready to leave.
"Now. If you'll excuse me... I have a ship to catch." She muttered.
With that, she was off... Appearing to be
heading towards an exit, intending to leave the stadium.

As those that fought the titans, both the extra dimensional arrivals and the local fighters worked together to fell the beasts... It wasn't long after the deformed titan was downed that the battle was over, for now. With the exits no longer blocked by hungry titans, minus the few bodies that were still in the process of desintegrating into a fine smoke, it wasn't long before civilians began to flood through them, seeing as the stadium itself had become quite unstable due the trauma it had endured up to this point.
For the moment, those that had been fighting the titans seemed to be able to catch a break, as those investigating the crashed airship joined the others.
Soon enough though, another airship, one that somewhat resembled the one that had crashed in the middle of the stadium flew in from the top of the stadium, where it landed... And someone that seemed to bring relief to many of the local fighters stepped out.
He had a weary, yet... Hardened look on his face as he surveyed the scene around him, his gaze seeming to rest on the crashed airship nearby for a moment before he spoke.
"Just moments ago, I re-established contact with my men on the ground; they told me more of these creatures are crawling all over the city... And my ships." He paused for a moment, frowning as he scanned the people around him.
It seemed that something got him puzzled for a moment... But, he seemed to dismiss whatever it was after a brief look at the group, not seeming to question the new arrivals. What's more is that, oddly enough,
Blake seemed to have been staring intensely at him throughout that entire moment.
"It is my duty to protect this city, but, with my ships... Incapacitated, the situation is beyond my control..." He finally continued, sighing a little.
It didn't look like he was very happy about the situation... Nor what he was about to say next, but considering the situation at hand, there was not much of a choice.
"I don't know what those... Things are..." He added, glancing towards the few bodies of the titans that were still desintegrating as he spoke.
"But. As long as my ships are out of commission, I can't properly evacuate anyone. So until then, my men have set up a safezone in the inner city, but... Word is out there is a large group of these creatures we will need as much help as we can get to hold them back..." There was another pause, as he held a hand to his ear, where he appeared to have some sort of earpiece on.
"... I just got word that there is second massive group of them headed towards Beacon Tower, but that's not all. My forces at the city outskirts have spotted a third group of those creatures headed for the walls..." He sighed, putting his hands behind his back before he turned, looking at the ship he had landed in.
"I'll try and take back our skies, but untill then... I'm afraid your only options will be to either head to the inner city, defend beacon tower, or hold off the titans at the city outskirts." The stadium shook again, as he spoke, but he seemed relatively unphased.
"Wherever you choose to go, I have airships by the south exit that will take you wherever you need to go, and... There are weapons in that crashed ship, if any of you still need them." He said finally, shaking his head a little.
"Now. Let's move out..." He said, addressing the people around him in general (minus the civilians of course).
With that, he climbed back into his ship, and was off, leaving everyone to their own devices, for the time being at least, but as he left... One might notice a
mysterious woman, with black hair, and orange tinted eyes... In fact,
Kara would most definitely recognize her as the same woman that she had
bumped into down a hallway not too long ago.
Unlike the other locals, who seemed to have split off, heading into three airships, each presumably taking them to the places the man that had addressed them earlier had aforementioned, she appeared to be
heading into an airship marked with a red cross... Some sort of emergency vehicle maybe? Except it didn't look very... Occupied, huh...
Seeing that she seemed to be in a hurry, it appeared that there may be a
chance to sneak aboard the airship with the mysterious woman just before she left.
Perhaps she knew of a way out of the city? Ooor she had some sort of agenda of her own? Hard to say...
Soo, in short, it seemed like once again, there were a few options in front of them, though it seemed that this would all stem from four of the airships currently docked at the south exit:
1) Take an airship
to the inner city, to protect the safezone that had been established there from what looked to be an titan onslaught, but considering that there were numerous guards stationed there... Perhaps it would be the "safest" location to head to.
2) Catch a ride to
Beacon Tower, as titans appeared to be rushing for that place as well. It was hard to get a good read on how tough that particular group of them would be to handle.
3) Ride an airship to the
City Outskirts, where titans appeared to be
preparing to swarm the city limits... This was likely one of the most dangerous locations, even with forces stationed there.
4) On the other hand, one could
sneak aboard the airship marked with a red cross, that a
mysterious woman had just boarded before it left the stadium... If they felt particularly adventurous.
