Jaune stares at the corpse of the fallen huntsman and  huntress his eyes angrily staring at them before turning his gaze to Celina as he had an idea

"Emma get these corpses cleaned up. I have a plan." Jaune said Emma nodded as she did what she was told while he looked at Rias and spoke to her "Rias and Elena get the transmission to Vale ready." Jaune said

"Of course Jaune." Elena said as Rias nodded

"Shouldn't be too hard. Leave it to us. I can even add some words in your message if you want Jaune. Or should I say My beloved, dearest, darling, wonderful, glorious, noble, ever-so-handsome Jauney-." Rias said giggling making Jaune blushed deep red as she smirked but turned serious

"what is the message you want to said? Rias asked as Jaune nodded to her

"Actually we can post it I got the television live." Elena said surprising the three

"Is that a good idea?" Celina asked her as Elena nodded as Rias looks at the camera and nodded as she approached it ready

"Very well Jaune I am counting down...5...4..3..2..1" Rias said as she pointed to Jaune to speak

"People of Vale I am Jaune Arc of Arcadia we may look the enemy but in reality the huntsman and huntress and the former council of Vale is your enemy. What I offer is for you to surrender immediately Vale to Arcadia and I promise no more slaughter of your men and women. Think of your children and families. They would be safe then out there fighting a losing battle. But if you choose to fight you will die by the hand of the enemy and will cause Vale to fall and become extinct. Make your choice wisely. Also anyone who dares to be a traitor or refuses will be executed and their families prison. That all I have to say." Jaune said as Celina spooked receiving report

"Jaune I am getting report of citizen dropping their weapons realizing that the battle is a lost cause as many troops are easily arresting them. There is few resisting but are being arrest. It seems it was a success and it caused an uprising against the huntsman and huntress and cause the hunters and huntress to be retreating. My emperor the victory of Vale is in our grasp." Celina said happily as Jaune smiled at the news

"Excellent, now all we have to do is crush the corruption and those Vale Huntsman and huntress."Jaune said as Emma return dusting her hands

"Jaune the body have been burned. All that left are the ashes but we can scatter them." Emma said Jaune nodded

"Good." Jaune said as Elena receive a comm call as Elena answered it

"This is Lt. Colonel Elena what is the situation." Elena asked as a soldier reported back

"All is good. Vale is ours. Some huntsman and huntress refuse to surrender as they continue to fight us. So we are having problem with them they have retreated to emerald forest." The soldier reported but Elena smirked

"Tell our elite soldiers to assist you and crush them. Make sure they know who are their leader is." Elena ordered the soldier responded affirmative as the call ended.

"Jaune the battle of Vale is over." Emma said as Celina nodded

"what is our next step my emperor, what will you do to the traitors and hunters that are still defiant? Celina asked Jaune

"Well this is a sad day for Huntsman and Huntress show no mercy. We gave them one chance to surrender now we must prepare for our next moves and strengthen Arcadia now we go for Argus." Jaune said as Rias smiled

"You know I have an idea on what to do with beacon academy Ozpin has granted us permission to do destroy it." Rias asked as Jaune looked at her as Celina eyes widen

"You aren't talking about a full bombardment of the academy." Celina said as Rias nodded

"We are." Rias said with a smile as Jaune shock his head

"No. Only use if we have to." Jaune said but Celina stop him

"Jaune are you crazy we are already on the people of Vale side and we can win this, just bombard it and show Vale who is in control." Celina said as Emma agreed to her friend suggestion

"yeah we show them who is in control of Vale and make them regret rebelling against us. " Emma said as Jaune sighed as he look at them

"We are not going to do that." Jaune said shocking the 4 as he continue "I plan to turn Beacon from an academy to a prison. Imagine the place where you study is now your prison for those corrupt first year and second year along full fledge huntsman and huntress. This wI'll demoralize the student and the huntsman and huntress will helpless without there equipment and training room. We also can turn this place into an army recruitment station or torture center if we need to get information from the prisoner. Tell the fleet commander to inform Ozpin I have change my mind on the beacon destruction instead we will convert it into the new beacon prison facility." Jaune said making the 4 female understand Jaune planes

"Yes Jaune, we will see that be done." Rias said "and if any huntsman or huntress decide to fight back we will be there to punish them. " she finished

"That's great. We will move some of our troops into new base here in Vale after we can clean up this place." Jaune said looking at the chamber as the 4 girls nodded as the meeting was over as

Celina looked at Jaune with Rias, Elena and Emma as Jaune open a portal as the 5 entered it leaving the chamber.

Kiara was sitting taking a drink as Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren said in her chamber shocked as they learned that Lie parents are alive and working with Arcadian

Kiara looked at Nora and Ren and knew they were afraid she couldn't blame them. Lie parents are part of the Arcadian army, Kiara saw what happened to their former home and would have thought that Lie parents were killed by the Grimm

"What?! You are lying! My parents are dead. The Grimm killed them." Ren said as Kiara shook her head
"Believe me it is true Ren. Have I ever lied to you either you. Beside the fake transcript which you guys understand I have been loyal and caring to both of you." Kiara said looking at Lie and Nora as they calm down a bit but were still shock

"I can't believe my parents are alive this whole time, where are they?" Ren asked Kiara who gave a small smile

"Your Mother An was one of the big 3 before something happen your mother is an excellent warrior though crazy like Nora." Kiara said as Ren nodded remembering his mother as they ignored a hey from Nora

"So if they are alive why didn't they search for Ren." Nora asked as Kiara sighed

"The civil war between Black arms and Arcadia. Nicolas also Jaune bastard father also turned his mother, and few of his family also again against us. We were focused on defeating them and finally we did it and I was earlier sent by Jaune to find you. I found you in Beacon was luck and being a team made it easy to keep you safe and a loyal servants." Kiara said as Ren shook his head

"But I don't understand why not contact me, I would love to see my parents. I miss them." Ren said
"They have no choice." Kiara said making Ren and Nora looked at her in confusion

"What do you mean?" Ren asked Kiara who closed her eyes

"Jaune wanted to test if you betray me. You guys passed but Jaune has lost trust to outsider which is you guys in 4 kingdom so he wants to see if you two will join Arcadia. He will allow you to see your parents, Ren but know this Jaune won't let you see them unless you swear your loyalty to him." Kiara said making them think and at the same time remembering the savage slaughtering and hatred their own comrade showed to them when they tried to save the kingdom

"Ren. Nora, what do you plan to do? Remember they are your parent but also we are fighting a war to prevent the slaughter of our comrades." Kiara said as Ren and Nora remember seeing their classmate being  slaughter

"I will join Arcadia." Nora said surprising as she looked at Ren
"Nora." Ren said but he remembers the savagery of their fellow huntsman and huntress on protecting their families and turning their weapons against them.

Yes I want to join you and Kiara and protect my new family. Beside I haven't had parents since I was little and I would love to meet Ren parents. I know they are wonderful just like you." Nora said as Ren sigh knowing there is no changing his girlfriend mind as he nodded

"I will join Arcadia as well." Ren said as Kiara nodded as she press a button calling a servant

"Lia send a shuttle for Ren and Nora." Kiara said as she heard a yes mam and the connection ended as Lia prepared the shuttle
"If you two join me you will be fighting your former allies." Kiara said as Lie and Nora nodded

"We understand." Lie said as they wait for the shuttle

Jaune was looking at the infinity gauntlet as his childhood friend Lilly Ironblood smacked him as he looked up as Lilly jumped on top of him

"What the hell, Lilly!?" Jaune yelled as Lilly giggled

"What surprise to see me Jaune." Lilly asked as Jaune nodded

"Yeah, you been gone for a week without warning." Jaune said but Lilly rolled her eyes

"Oh, please don't play dumb. You know I was at the outland making sure that your so called mother will not attack us." Lilly said Jaune raised an eyebrow

"Juniper...how is she." Jaune asked as Lilly sighed at him

"She is broken. She regrets siding with Nicolas. Her subordinates have turn against her. Juniper is mentally broken right now." Lilly said as Jaune eyes widen

"What about Jeanne and Elizabeth." Jaune said asking about his former aunts

"Jeanne is the same thing Juniper. Elizabeth is having a hard time accepting it." Lilly said as Jaune sighed as an Arcadian soldier entered

"My lord we have found Pyrrha and her friend location in Mistral." The soldier said

"Excellent job private." Jaune said

"I will leave you and go help out my mother." Lilly said leaving Jaune

"Oh right I forgot your mom is taking care of Nora and Ren." Jaune said remembering and Lilly nodded

"yeah I will talk to you later." Lilly said leaving

"Okay Lilly. And good work. Tell her I say thank you and see her soon." Jaune said as he returned his attention to the gauntlet and teleported himself to Mistral

"Now then it time to crush Pyrrha for harming my friend Kiara and tried to kill me." Jaune said smiling evilly

—————/—-/——-

In Mistral Pyrrha, Ruby, Weiss and Blake were hiding in Mistral forest as Pyrrha was drinking water to soothe her throat as the group had ran from Arcadian trooper for 4 days

"Pyrrha you should rest. I am worried about you." Ruby said

"yeah I think so too you been on your feet." Weiss said agreeing with her team leader as Pyrrha nodded

"Sure thing just going to rest here." Pyrrha said as she started to drift to sleep as Weiss noticed her bowing up a bit but didn't said anything

"So what do we do?" Ruby asked Weiss who was thinking

"We should get away from Mistral. Hopefully Jaune is too busy with Vale to bother us." Blake said

"You know that is not going to happen." Weiss said as Blake sigh in frustration

"Well it is worth a shot." Blake said as she went to get water but notice the bushes moving she armed her weapon but nothing appear

"Did you see something?" Ruby asked as Blake shook her head

"No, I'm sure it is just the wind." Blake said as she lowered her weapon

"Oh okay." Ruby said

Suddenly a purple energy hits them sending Ruby and Blake off the ground and crashing into tree shocking Weiss. They look up only to be blinded by light but Blake quickly adjust her sight and notice a male figure as her eyes widen in shock.

"No its can't be." Blake said in disbelief as Weiss and Ruby turn their eyesight back as they see Jaune

"Oh no." Ruby said in horror at what she was seeing as Jaune notice her presence

"Hello, Ruby and Weiss. I didn't expect to see you two here but no matter I have a bone to pick with Pyrrha." Jaune said approaching Pyrrha

"Please don't hurt her. She is suffering." Ruby said pleading but Jaune ignore her and looked at the unconscious girl

"Hey Pyrrha wake up." Jaune said nudging her as she groans and wake up

"Huh, ." Pyrrha said as she was punched sending flying by Jaune and crashed into a tree as Weiss gasp

"PYRRHA!" Weiss cried out as she tried to heal her friend but Jaune uses his magic to freeze Weiss in place

"Stop. Don't you dare." Blake yelled at him as Jaune walked over to Pyrrha as he picks her up by her hair causing her to groan in pain

"J-jaune." Pyrrha said groaning

"Hey Pyrrha, you remember Kiara she sent her message revenge is sweet. Well I am here to give you hers." Jaune said as he then punched her again

"No." Ruby and Weiss screamed in unison but they couldn't break free of Jaune's magic

"Oh sorry I forgot." Jaune said snapping his finger as Weiss and Ruby were able to move as they tried to help their friend but were knocked back by a shockwave

"Oh man, what was that?" Ruby asked in pain as she saw Jaune using his energy to zap Pyrrha

"Come on now you can take more than that." Jaune taunted her as he sends a energy beam from his palm striking Pyrrha making her scream in pain as it caused a mini explosion as Jaune drop her

"Is that all you got you damn coward. You run away from Kiara and put Ruby, Weiss, and Blake in danger. For that I will make your suffering slow and painful." Jaune said as he teleport right in front of the dizzy Pyrrha and kick her in the ribs repeatedly causing her to cough up blood as Jaune use reality stone to change the area to a burning forest as he holds Pyrrha's throat choking her as he lifted her up high

"Who is the coward now? You think you can defeat me just because you are a champion. No this is what it takes to be champion." Jaune said as he slam her to the ground creating a crater.

"We have to stop him." Ruby said getting up as Blake agreed

"We can't let Jaune kill Pyrrha." Weiss said

"Too bad she has to die but it is alright now." Jaune said but a sniper bullet strikes Jaune making him be pushed back as Pyrrha was surrounded by an orb

"Who?!" Jaune said in surprise and anger as a team of Huntsman and Huntress entered

"Huntsman and Huntress are here." A voice said as Jaune notice they were part of the Mistral army

"Let's finish him." A huntsman said as Jaune used a attack that sent a huge energy wave at them. Causing the huntsman and huntress to be knocked out by the blast

"Jaune." Ruby said as Jaune was breathing hard but he manage to recover and growled

"You." Jaune said as he shield up by someone

"Run!" A female voice said as Ruby, Weiss, and Blake know it was Harriet Bree and she was alone

"No you won't. Reality stone. " Jaune said as the earth rumbled and roots pop up from the ground and coil around Harriet.

"HARRIET!" The three girls shouted but Jaune simply block their path and activate the space stone to stop them

"Going somewhere?" Jaune said darkly as Ruby was scared seeing him acting this way

"We can't give up. We have to help our friend and Harriet." Blake said

"I am sorry. Ruby, Blake, Pyrrha. This is the end. The faster we accept it the less painful it will be. " Weiss said

"Weiss you can't mean that." Ruby said in disbelief and shock as Weiss look at her in sorrow

"I am sorry. " Weiss said but as they were about to attack them an orange magic seal appears out of nowhere stopping them

"What?!" Jaune said surprised at what just happened as he turned to see a blonde haired woman

"YOU?! How dare you interfere traitor. I was hoping to find you for betraying us when you joined Juniper Diana. " Jaune said in anger at her presence as the girls look at her

"I am sorry Jaune but I noticed you are changing." Diana said as Jaune laughed

"And you are going to stop me? Don't make me laugh. You can't stand against me." Jaune said mockingly at her as Diana expression turned into cold glare

"Stand down Jaune, if you refuse I will be forced to attack." Diana said as Jaune looked at her

"For what is it worth I am truly sorry for not believing you over your father Jaune. That mistake will be forever regretted." Diana said

"Jaune wait." Ruby tried to plead but Jaune used Space stone to pull Diana to him and she did the same as both of them did a punch colliding with one another, causing a small explosion of energy sending the three girls off their feet, as the shockwave creates a massive crater in the forest. Diana and Jaune look at one another before charging at each other and engage in combat, while the 3 girls could do nothing but watch.

Jaune using his cosmic fire combine with the power stone as Diana took the hit screaming in pain as the attack sent her flying into a tree. She gets up, holding her left side, and takes a battle stance, which Jaune didn't hesitate to approach. Diana launched an energy beam but Jaune easily dodges it. He then grabs Diana's hand and swings her around, slamming her into the ground.

"You are making this far too easy." Jaune said, kicking her in the head, forcing her to stand up again. "You have gotten weak." He then grabs Diana and throws her into the air, causing her to cough up blood before grabbing her by the ankle, slamming her onto the ground again, and holding her against a tree. "Remember those training when we were in academy. Now look at you. It is pathetic, and you have no one to blame but yourself. I might have changed, but so have you." He then released her and kick her in the stomach.

Diana was holding her stomach in pain but Jaune didn't let up as he using his Divine Magic combine with reality stone causing a dark purple flames appearing out of thin air as he used his magic to make the flames take shape of a Wolf as the Wolf roared charging at Diana. Diana didn't have time to react as she was clawed by the Grimm and thrown into the air, she quickly recover and teleport out of the way as the Wolf dissipated into thin air

"This isn't how it is supposed to go. This isn't how it was supposed to end! We are not conquerors Jaune" Diana said as she was in disbelief but she was injured and bleeding as Jaune dominating the battle as Jaune laugh as she couldn't even land a good hit on him

"You can't even defend yourself. How do you expect to protect anyone else? You are far too weak. I can't believe I ever admired you for your strength." Jaune said as Diana began to cry

"Jaune I..." She tries to speak but Jaune ignored her and continue his assault

"Pathetic. When you chose them over us you choose to be weak." Jaune said as he launch a ball of fire at her but she dodges

"Jaune please listen to me." Diana begged as Jaune used his telekinesis and picked her up

"I think not traitor." Jaune said as he slammed her into the ground

"Argh." Diana yell in pain as the ground cracks

"Traitor. Your very existence is a traitor's existence. I have no interest in whatever excuses you may have to offer." Jaune said as Diana looked at him and told

"I will always love you my only regret was choosing the wrong side." Diana said as Jaune stopped and looked at her shocked by what she just said

"Huh?!" Jaune said as Diana embrace him as he looked at her in shock at her words

"Jaune I am sorry for everything. I understand what is happening but conquering the 4 kingdom is not right. Please understand." Diana said as Jaune looked at her

"I am doing this for the better of our home and the 4 kingdom are just a threat." Jaune said as Diana sighed

"It's not." Diana said as Jaune step away from her

"I am sorry Jaune. But I can't allow you to destroy the 4 kingdom. And you're my friend. " Diana said as Jaune laughed

"Diana my plans is to wipe out only the huntsman and huntress and the corruption and those who defied the Arc family will be dealt with." Jaune said but Diana shook her head

"Jaune all people are corrupt in some form. What is the difference between a monster and a person if there is no evil in everyone? In this world, in this universe, what makes anyone any different from each other? Everyone has a dark side, a negative emotion inside them that is always pulling at them, telling them to act upon their urges, desires, and to embrace their own inner darkness. Please let your anger go. " Diana said but Jaune scoff at her words

"Are you seriously talking about dark side? You have changed my friend. I am disappointed in you." Jaune said as Diana closed her eyes

"The only thing that separates humans from Grimm is the ability to control their emotions and the negative feelings and thoughts that stem from them. Darkness is in everyone's hearts. Those who suppress it the most are simply the best at hiding it." Diana said as Jaune continue to ignore her

"Enough talking. I am ending this." Jaune said as the infinty stone glow but Diana smirked

"Goodbye Jaune." Diana said teleporting away as Jaune look in surprise but noticed Ruby, Blake, and Weiss gone but Pyrrha still was there unconscious. Jaune growled in anger. Diana teleport in front of Harriet who was awake but in pain

"Thank goodness you are alright." Diana said smiling at her friend

"I am good Diana." Harriet said but cough up blood

"Are you sure?" Diana asked

"Yeah, but I will need to see the nurse after this." Harriet said as she hear Pyrrha screaming

"Please Jaune." Pyrrha cried out in pain as Jaune was using the infinity stone to torture her as Diana grabbed Harriet and teleport away before Jaune can see them as Pyrrha scream as her body was covered in red energy burning her as Diana look in horror at Jaune torture

"What have you become?" Diana said in disbelief at Jaune

——————/—-/——

Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Harriet, and Diana were in the Mistral forest as they look at burning forrest in horror as Diana was using her healing magic to heal Harriet

"Thank you." Harriet said

"Of course. Let's just hope we are far enough away from Jaune." Diana said but Blake and Ruby had tears in their eyes as Weiss was close to crying

"Oh Ruby, I am sorry about Pyrrha. But you know she brought it on herself." Diana said trying to comfort her as Ruby cried in Weiss's arms as Weiss had tears running down her face as she was trying to hold back her tears. "And Blake I am sorry about you and Adam." She then turn her attention to Harriet "Harriet, I am glad you are okay." She then hugged the three girls, who were now crying, and kissed them on the foreheads, trying to comfort them.

"Now then I am glad you two are safe. Ruby, Blake, Weiss, are you three okay no healing?" Diana asked in concern

"We are good." Weiss said wiping her tears

"Y-yes, we are fine." Ruby said calming down

"I-i am alright." Blake said but was in disbelief at what she witness

"Alright we need to go now Jaune will be hunting us down soon." Diana said as she notice Harriet was on her scroll

"Harriet is everything alright?" Diana asked as Harriet looked at her

"Argus is under attack." Harriet said shocking them as Ruby, Blake, Weiss, and Diana's eyes widen

"Jaune's army?" Blake asked as Harriet shook her head

"I don't know. I have been getting news of Atlas being attacked." Harriet said

"Uh, uh." Weiss said but Harriet looks at them

"We will save Atlas but I need to leave." Harriet said but she couldn't leave with the injuries she has

"No you can't fight in the condition you are in. I will stay and take care of Atlas." Diana said

"Are you sure?" Harriet asked

"Yes I am. " Diana said

"We are coming with you." Ruby said

"What, no it is too dangerous for you three." Diana said refusing her

"We have to go and help Atlas and I want to do something." Ruby said

"Me too. I want to help people. " Blake said as Weiss nodded

"I have to do something. I won't feel like I am able to look in the mirror if I don't." Weiss said as Diana look at them and knew they wouldn't change their mind.

"Fine but you have to promise me one thing." Diana said

"What is it?" Ruby asked

"We will fight and help people. But I will be keeping an eye on you three." Diana said

"Alright." Ruby, Blake, and Weiss agreed

_______________

Jaune was with Liana and Serena as they discuss about Diana return

Liana

Serena Rauthuell

"She is back." Serena said

"Indeed. And she interfered in my fight against Pyrrha and Harriet. Now Pyrrha is dead. " Jaune said in anger at Diana's appearance

"Jaune what should we do?" Liana asked but Jaune thought about it. Diana was part of the One-Five before she believed that Jaune was the one who did the gas attack and joined Juniper before the truth reveal

"I want her to face the truth at what she choose. She is not enemy but she is not an ally either. Her loyalty is now questionable so for now we keep her on radar." Jaune said

"But." Serena tried to speak but Jaune sent a glare

"For now just monitor her and don't interfere. If she try anything like fighting against us I will take care of her. For now she is neutral but no doubt she will join the 4 kingdom and try to make peace. I somewhat agree we can do peace but not until the council and huntsman and huntress are all about a past history." Jaune said as they nodded

"Speaking of the 4 kingdom. " Serena said

"What is the status report?" Jaune asked

"Mantle was easily able to join and majority of the huntsman and huntress student joined our cause." Serena said as Jaune nod

"That is good. Now to Mistral, Altas, and Vacuo." Jaune said as someone walked in

"Hello Jaune." Emma said as Jaune looked at her and gave her a hug

"Emma." Jaune said but he felt her sadness

"Are you alright?" Jaune asked concerned about his teammate

"Is it true Diana was here?" Emma asked as Jaune look at her

"Yes but she left with Ruby, Weiss, and Blake." Jaune said as Emma was surprise to hear Diana took Ruby, Blake, and Weiss with her

"Why?" Emma asked

"She claimed to be neutral but for now we keep her on watch but in meantime you will join Atlas operation. The rest will come back with me and Liana. " Jaune said as Emma nodded

"We need to hurry and deal with this." Jaune said as Emma looked at him

"You did it right? Pyrrha is..." Emma didn't finish but Jaune cut her off

"She is dead." Jaune said as Emma and Serena both looked at him

"That would demoralize the Mistral huntsman and huntress students, especially since Pyrrha was their biggest hero. Not to mention her fiancée. " Liana said but Serena looked at Emma

"Emma, I can tell do you want to hunt down Diana?" Serena asked

"Of course. She is responsible for the.." Emma said but was cut of by Jaune

"No you will not hunt down your former squad mate and friend." Jaune said as Emma was surprised to hear that

"Why?" Emma asked but Jaune put his hand on her shoulder

"Let Diana face what she choose and realize the reality of her choice." Jaune said as Emma understand why

"Alright. If that is what you think is best Jaune I will obey." Emma said

"Thank you." Jaune said as he look at the screen seeing Mantle being set in stone and saw Atlas surrendering to the army

"It is done." Jaune said shutting of hologram a

At night Jaune dream

Jaune shoots two peace trooper as he sensed Newt presence

"I AM COMING NEWT JUST STAY LONGER!!!" Jaune said as as he entered where Newt is, his fists clenching at the sight of his Adopted Daughter in pain. Newt is seen forcefully strapped to a Bed, lots of Tubes connected to her arms and Neurological Readers on her head, then a Collar around her neck to shock her if she tries anything, and finally, a Mask over her mouth to keep Newt from screaming. Jaune witnesses the Scientists running another Test as Newt can be seen struggling in pain, tears falling down her eyes.

"NEWT!!!!" Jaune yelled as the scientist looked up shocked

"YOU BASTARDS!!!" Jaune screamed in anger as he charged at the scientist. Jaune grabbed one by the throat and slammed his head onto the table, before crushing his skull, killing him. Then grabbing another by the neck, he threw him across the room, before he killed two more with a powerful punch. Then he grabbed a chair and threw it at a final one, killing him instantly. Newt was in pain and scared.

Jaune has killed the scientists and looked at the death around him as he didn't care as he begin to hook the machine suddenly her eyes open as she formed a small smile

"Daddy." Newt said as Jaune feels her dying as he frees her

"I am going to get you out of here. The others are nearby and they will get you help. Just stay with me." Jaune said trying to keep her alive

"Daddy please." Newt said but Jaune wouldn't give up on her as he put pressure on her wound as she grab his arm as he heard a beeping sound as Newt screamed as her mana exploded the room but Jaune using Cosmic creation blocked the explosition

"Daddy, you have to let me go." Newt said but Jaune shook his head refusing as his shield held long enough as Newt eyes glow as

"No I am not letting you go." Jaune said as Newt used her last strength to grab Jaune's wrist as Jaune felt his mana increase

"NEWT NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Jaune cried out as he knew what she was doing. She was giving him her last strength as he began to cry as he felt her life fading as he grew stronger

"I love you daddy." Newt said as she closed her eyes as Jaune couldn't help but cry as he held her in his arms and newt eyes turn dull as he hugged her as tears fall from his face as her body and soul begin to disappear in particle of lights as Jaune held tights but his vision begin to fade

Suddenly Jaune felt more stronger as his eyes glow red as the entire space station shocked as Nicolas soldiers entered...as Jaune looked at them AND HE OUT FOR REVENGE

Jaune woke up and gasped remembering the scene that happen few months ago. He stood up and put on his robe as he walked outside. He sensed someone watching him and turn to see Rias and Elena in their nightgowns looking at him. He was caught off guard seeing Elena in the nightgown.

"Is everything okay?" Rias asked

"Yeah just bad memory." Jaune said

"A dream?" Elena asked

"Yeah but it is fine." Jaune said but Elena knew it wasn't and she walk and hug him as she sense his sadness. Rias walked beside him and put her hand on his cheek. "Jaune, you're not alone anymore. " Rias said kissing him as Elena smiled as she kissed him but he leaned in kissing Elena as they were on top of him but Elena saw the mark on his shoulder

"What is that?" Elena asked as Jaune didn't hear her but Rias was surprise to see the mark

"Elena where is the mark?" Rias asked as Elena looked at her

"Jaune doesn't have it on his shoulder." Elena said but she felt Jaune body shaking

"Jaune what's wrong?" Rias asked but Jaune didn't say anything but then Elena heard crying as she looked to see Jaune in tears

"Jaune?" Elena asked concern as Rias was concern about Jaune behavior

"It's okay." Rias said hugging him

"It was my fault." Jaune said as Elena was confused at his words as Rias looked at him in concern

"What are you talking about? What was your fault?" Rias asked as she wipe his tears

"I killed her. It was my fault she died." Jaune said confusing Rias and Elena

"Who are you talking about?" Rias asked but Elena felt her body shake realizing what he is talking about

"Jaune, Newt dead is never your fault. It was that asshole." Elena said but Jaune continue to cry as Rias was trying to comfort him

"Is it Newt?" Rias asked as Elena nodded sadly

"It seems Jaune is blaming himself for her death." Elena said but Rias notice Jaune was no longer crying but his face was hidden

"Jaune?" Rias called out as Elena looked at Jaune as he growled in anger

"I should have been stronger." Jaune said but Elena hugged him

"It's okay." Elena said in his ear but Jaune disappeared shocking the two girls and Rias summoned her sword and Elena form her spear but she felt Jaune near as a huge cosmic fire hit the forrest below them as Jaune screamed

"I WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH AND SHE PAID WITH HER LIFE!!! I LET HER DOWN!!! I PROMISE HER TO BE THERE AND I FAILED HER!!!! I MADE HER A PROMISE TO TAKE CARE OF HER AND I BREAK IT!!!" Jaune said crying as Elena felt his sadness and she realize something important but what was it? She thought about it until she got the answer

"Jaune. Did you.." Elena said but then she gasped as Jaune appeared in front of her and Rias as they were looking sad seeing the sadness in Jaune eye suddenly a glow happen as Jaune felt Newt soul as it hugs him from behind as Jaune was now crying as he had his infinity gauntlet as he activated the soul stone as Newt soul glow forming newt body as her body appears

"Hello daddy." Newt said forming a smile on Jaune's face as Rias and Elena both cried but smiled

"Hey." Jaune said

"Newt?" Rias and Elena called out as Newt turned to them

"Hey Auntie Rias, Auntie Elena." Newt said waving at them as they gave her a hug

"Omg, Newt I thought you were dead." Rias said happy to see Newt alive and not dead but they were confuse as to why or how Newt came back to life

"Did you resurrect her?" Elena asked

"No I didn't." Jaune said

"But I am alive." Newt said as Jaune, Rias, and Elena all look at each other in confusion as Newt walk toward them

"Daddy.." Newt said looking at Jaune in tears

"Newt I am sorry for your death." Jaune said but Newt smile at him as she hugs him

"Daddy I am not dead my soul was in you. " Newt said making Jaune gasp in shock and Rias and Elena looked at each other in surprise. "Your soul was in me." Jaune said surprising Elena

"When we made the contract my soul enter your body and it stayed there for a while but I never told you but when I died I left a piece of my soul in you." Newt said

"My magic is strong enough to find your soul and bring you back." Jaune said as Rias and Elena didn't know what to do but Newt turned to them and gave a nod as Jaune hugged her tight

"Newt I promise from now on I will protect you." Jaune said but Newt giggled at him

"Daddy it is alright." Newt said

"No it isn't. You gave your life to save me. I failed to protect you and for that I will train you to become stronger than ever so no one can harm you again. " Jaune said as Rias and Elena both smiled seeing this but they were also thinking about it. "Yes we will become stronger." Elena and Rias agreed with Jaune as they began to smile at each other as Newt looked at excited at being trained by her dad

"I can't wait." Newt said as Jaune leaned in and kiss her forehead but Newt begin to yawn making Rias and Elena giggle

"Let's get you to bed." Rias said as Jaune picked her up in his arms

"But I want to stay with you guys." Newt said but Jaune wipe her hair as they looked at her lovingly

"It is fine. You are tired and need the rest." Jaune said as he lead her inside but suddenly Jaune, Rias, and Elena heard a whistle as Jaune felt Diana appeared as Rias and Elena despite being in nightgown had their weapons out

"Traitor." Rias said angrily as Diana flinched as Elena bow and arrow aimed at her

"I wish to speak with Jaune. Alone." Diana said but Elena release a arrow piercing her on the shoulder

"HELL NO ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN MIND!!!" Elena screamed in anger as Diana fell to her knee in pain but Diana looked at Jaune who just looked at her curiously as if he didn't care about the situation

"Just to talk." Diana said

"Rias take Newt and go to my room. Elena you as well." Jaune said confusing his two queens and adoptive daughter

"Jaune. Are you sure?" Rias asked but Jaune lean and kissed her lips

"Go on ahead." Jaune said kissing Newt head as the two queen reluctantly left with Newt

"Daddy wait." Newt said

"It is okay Newt. Just go and sleep. I will come and see you later." Jaune said as Newt looked at him but Jaune nod as Newt trusted him as they left him and Diana alone.

"You got guts coming here I will give you that. But I am in happy mood so let's talk." Jaune said walking away from Diana but Diana look at him in concern

"This war got to end. I know you promised the citizen of the 4 kingdom to be spared but still lives are being lost everyday." Diana said but Jaune stopped making her pause

"That a surprise coming from you. You hated these outsiders yet you defend them now. Why?" Jaune asked as Diana looked at him

"I was blind but now I can see. These people have families. I was wrong for the way I treated them. " Diana said

"Yet you were willing to kill me and our squad mates for Nicholas. What are you exactly? " Jaune asked

"You got stronger. The power that consume you it was frightening but now you seem in control of it." Diana said avoiding the question but Jaune summon his sword

"Answer my question and I might let you live." Jaune said but Diana looked at him

"I am tired of fighting conflicts for the wrong thing. Nicholas was never a leader he was a power hungry idiot that seek only power and his desire to destroy you cost his life. I wanted to be by his side but he was foolish. I admit he did made me realize the reality of being a true hero. I was a fool to follow him blindly and I want to fix my mistakes." Diana said as Jaune grip his sword

"And?" Jaune asked

"I am not asking you to forgive me nor I don't want it but slaughtering any citizen that aren't supporitive of Arcadian or fighting isn't that cruel." Diana said making Jaune think

"I have spared the children but this is war. They are the enemy. What is to stop them from rising and fighting us again?" Jaune asked

"Not everyone will but some will." Diana said as Jaune sword disappeared as he looked at the sky

"Why did you side with the 4 kingdom answer me that and I will think about it." Jaune said but Diana looked at him with a serious look

"The people aren't lying. Their lands are being destroyed. Their men and women are killed. Children and women are taken hostage. The Huntsman and Huntress are forcing them into fighting. Some are like a slave to them and some are forced to be used as test subjects and weapon." Diana said surprising Jaune

"Why should I believe you." Jaune said acting in front of her

"It is all true. Some are treated like animals." Diana said as Jaune looked at her

"Your acting a double agent for the 4 kingdom. You are the one who providing intel about secret location and freeing 4 kingdom citizen that refused to fight." Jaune said as Diana looked at him in surprise

"How?" Diana asked but Jaune looked at her

"In our fight you didn't use your full strength. If you truly were, you would have been able to give me a good fight. Plus I knew you weren't completely on the 4 kingdom side when you fought us at the fable town. Your weak for a 4 kingdom solider and an elite at that. Despite your training with us you didn't have much. You used your magic to make you have more aura and you barely scraped by when we fought you....Beside you think I am being cruel the truth is I am helping and rescuing them that refuse or forced to fight." Jaune said surprising her

"I was captured and they were torturing me until you showed up. That is when I realized this was wrong." Diana said but Jaune looked at her with a cold look

"So are you doing this out of redemption?" Jaune asked as Diana looked at him

"No. This isn't about redemption this is about doing what is right. . Nicholas hatred toward you is what started this war. I have betrayed your love...all I am doing is trying to save innocent lives." Diana said but Jaune smirk at her

"I respect that." Jaune said but Diana looked at him in surprised as did Rias and Elena as they listened to the conversation. "After the war is over. You will be sent to prison for your betrayal to Arcadia however but I promise a lighter sentence despite what you did" Jaune said surprising Diana

"That's fair." Diana said accepting her fate as Jaune nodded

"Thank you." Jaune said shocking Diana

"Why?" Diana asked as Jaune smiled at her

"For you honesty. I will admit I was tempted to kill you but after learning your reasons. I have no reason to." Jaune said as Diana smiled at him

"I shouldn't thank you." Diana said but Jaune teleport to her and gave her a hug shocking her and the girls who watched the whole time.

"Forgive yourself Diana. You are doing what is right and that is what matter. You didn't harm us to much you were only following order. It was my bitch of mother who forced the situation out of hand" Jaune said in her ear as she began to cry in his shoulder as she hugged him back as Jaune watched her as he told her

"Its time to go back Diana keep an eye on the 4 kingdom tell me if they are planning anything else." Jaune said as Diana nodded

"Before I go can I ask something?" Diana asked

"What is it?" Jaune asked

"Can we meet again like this and not as enemies?" Diana asked as Jaune smirked at her

"Yeah I wouldn't mind." Jaune said smiling at her as she smiled back as she leaned and kissed his cheek as he was surprise but she smile as she teleported away.
