Arcadia, Throne Room

Jaune was holding Elena and Rias cuddling

"Everything is going well, you both are the best." Jaune said as Elena smiled and nuzzled her head into his chest "Thank you." Rias said with a blush on her face

"No problem, I need you two more than ever." Jaune said as he kissed Elena passionately. 'Wow. He really does love me.' Elena thought. The door then opened, surprising Rias and Elena.

"What's up guys." Jaune greeted.

"Hey Jaune." Scarlett said as she and her sister Holly entered the room

"What is it?" Jaune asked as Scarlett said "The preparation for the funeral is almost complete, We will be leaving now to continue setting things up." Holly said as Jaune nodded

"See you soon." Jaune said as his wife and wives-to-be left to prepare the funeral as he relaxed "I love them so much." Jaune said

"Maybe you should have a child." Rias said smiling at the idea of children running around. "Yes, I could do that." Jaune said smirking at the idea

Arcadia Prison

In a isolated cell in a high security prison cell was Summer Rose, former . She was no longer the person she once was. She was tortured mentally and physically by her enemies and even her former friends had a part in it. She had no remorse, no pity, no hope, nothing. She had been here for 5 months, with no friends or family coming to see her. She had not eaten since she was brought in, she was starving but that was the least of her worries. She had lost everything, her mind, body, and soul.

She was heavily beaten and broken, not physically but mentally. Every single day for five months she was being tortured, interrogated and mocked. All in hopes of extracting information out of her. She didn't tell them anything. They told her many different stories about why she was here. Her enemy kept saying it was her fault, and to her it was true.

"It's all my fault." Summer Rose mumbled to herself

"Aw, Poor Summy. Nobody cares about you anymore." Jaune said entering the room with Scarlett and Holly alongside Leaf, Rias, Gwen, and Elena. Summer felt her body jolt when Jaune said that. It was true, nobody cares about her anymore. Her friends turned their back on her and even her own daughter couldn't save her from her fate. She didn't deserve a happy ending.

"So this is her confirm correct." Scarlett asked as Holly nodded

"We did a check on her when she was sent to the Empire. Her weapons were confiscated but we still have some." Holly said as Rias nodded "This should do. But should we add some of our own?" Rias asked

"We only need enough to make it look convincing. Just add a few pieces here and there, like blood splatter and cuts and gashing." Elena said as the girls agreed

"Will see you later sweetie. We are going to leave now to get the remainder of the preparations for the funeral ready." Gwen said kissing Jaune on the cheek

"I can't wait." Jaune said kissing Gwen on the lips

"We will see you soon. Summer...for the death of my girl Violet Evergarden you betrayed Arcadia for the fools of Remnant you shall suffer till death." Jaune said to her as he left with Rias, Holly, Elena, Scarlett, and Gwen as Summer only watched

"Don't leave me!" Summer shouted out to Jaune to stop him in his tracks "Please don't go." Summer begged him. He slowly turned around, and looked at her with a blank expression on his face.

"You didn't care about us 2 years ago, and you don't care about us now. So why should we care about you, that's something you should be asking yourself, not me. And even if I did let you go, what then? You would go back to hiding like the coward you are, just admit it Summer, your actions killed her! YOU KILLED VIOLET!" Jaune screamed at her as Summer was silenced and began to cry

"You shouldn't have done that." Scarlet said as Jaune yelled "Enough of this. Jaune its time we go bury Violet." Rias said as Elena gently grabbed his head and forced him to look at her eyes "Hey, I know that you're angry with her, I am too but you have to remain strong for us, you have done that before, and you can do it again. You can get through this and we will be with you." Elena said

"Yes, we will remain at your side no matter what." Holly said as Scarlett agreed "I will always have your back Jaune."

"We are a team. We must remain together, stronger than ever." Gwen said as Jaune smiled a little "Your right Gwen, I've gotten this far because of all of you, so it's time for me to keep moving forward, Thank you girls." Jaune said grateful for his loved ones

"Don't worry about it." Rias said hugging him along with the others "Now let's get this funeral over with."

Arcadia, Cemetery

Elena and Rias were at the front of the funeral that was held for Violet Evergarden. Violet was the girlfriend and best friend to Jaune most of the one-five couldn't make it due to battle on Arcadia. Violet Evergarden was one of the original 15 and the last few that survived after the defeat of Nicolas Arc. Jaune was there at the funeral wearing all black Rias Leaf, Scarlett, Holly, Gwen and Leaf behind him.

"Before we bury Violet. We must remember her one final time. We will have a moment of silence." Elena said

"I remember when we first met. It was love at first sight and soon we grew closer and soon fell in love. And then one day we kissed. " Jaune said remembering the last memory of Violet alive

"I know how you felt about her. " Leaf said holding Elena hand "She was a beautiful girl." Gwen said with Scarlett nodding in agreement "I know she is watching over us." Holly said "She always will." Elena said as everyone looked down at the coffin as Violet's parents was silent as they cried for the loss of their child. Jaune looked at the coffin, and knelt down. "It's alright Violet, I will be waiting for you, when we see each other again, I will never let go." Jaune said

"Farewell Violet." Elena said

"Thank you for being our friend." Gwen said as she and Holly remained silent as Violet parents cried out for their child

"We will remember you always." Leaf said

"I know your hurting." Scarlett said

"I am sorry we couldn't save you." Rias said in sadness

"We will see you later, when we see each other again... we will have fun, we will always remember you." Gwen said

"Rest now in peace." Jaune said as tears rolled down his face

"All that we love are already in the heart." Elena said

"God speed." Rias said as a small device on her side beeped "We will see you soon. And we will miss you." Elena said as she took out the detonator as the Arcadians buried Violet to the ground

"See you soon. " Jaune said as Elena pressed the button as the coffin closed as. a light appeared as Violet soul travel to the afterlife as Elena had tears roll down her face as Jaune hugged her from behind "Its alright Elena." Jaune said trying to calm her down

"I will never let anyone hurt us again. I will protect all of you." Jaune said

"Rest in Peace my child." Violet's parents said sadly

"I loved you since the first moment I saw you. And now it is all gone. I will miss you forever. Goodbye. " Violet's mom said sobbing

"We will meet again some day." Violet's dad said

"Yes, we will." Violet's mother said as the funeral was over with Elena was helped by Rias and Gwen to their destination "Come on girls we got work to do." Jaune said as he and his women left leaving Violet's parent who was sadden at the burial of their daughter

_______________________-__-

Jaune then turn towards Holly Rias and Elena pulling them with him gently

"What are we doing?." Rias asked

"Something to relieve my stress." Jaune said while winking at Elena

"Ohh I like the sound of that." Elena said

"Come on ladies. " Jaune said as his eyes twinkled

"Yep we are definitely going to be release Jaune's stress" Holly said giggling as they entered his private room

Later

Scarlett watched as Alas and Newt played as Jaune adopted children's were happy several manga guard along with 2 dozen Arcadian and clone trooper stand on guard keeping their eye on them.

Newt and Alas were playing tag as the 9 year old chased her two her old sister and the clone trooper with her chasing them playing a game of tag.

Alas was laughing and so was Newt. Scarlet could not help but smiled at Jaune daughters as they continue to play. She then feel someone pecking her neck and she then realized who was the one kissing her neck

"Jaune." Scarlet said smiling

"Scarlet how are you hold up?" Jaune asked as he was rubbing her back in comfort and hugging her from behind

"I'm doing fine but I could be better but overall I'm doing okay. How are you?. " Scarlet asked

"Meh I'm doing fine. The men are enjoying their 5 day break before we advance into Vacuo. " Jaune said "Soon their will be peace " Jaune said

Scarlet lean into him enjoying his warmth as she then looked at him "Come on I made dinner." Scarlet said taking his hand but then she noticed his eyes widened as he held his head in pain

"Jaune.. are you okay?. " Scarlet asked

"Yeah just killer headache Rias rode me like there is no tomorrow." Jaune said smiling at his 3rd wife as she blushed " I am quite vigorous in bed. " Scarlet said giggling

Jaune smiled " I've had worse." Jaune said as he cannot his thumb rubbing her knuckles as he and his harem went inside the mansion

Later at night

Rias was cleaning up the dishes alongside Jaune and his wives as Jaune was talking to his eldest daughters Alas and Newt as Elena was monitoring them.

"Your majesty the Vacuo kingdom forces has amassed 200 miles outside of the fort we captured in Vacuo." A clone commander informed but Jaune is not worried as his plan is unfolding

"Increase the number of the clones patrolling the surrounding area and have an army of droids guarding the entrance of the fort. Give me the report at dawn." Jaune ordered but the clone nodded but didn't move. "Is there something else your need to inform me?" Jaune asked as Rias looked at him in question. The clone trooper shook his head no but Jaune raised an eyebrow knowing that it is something that has to do with Alas and Newt "lets take this outside." Jaune said and the clone trooper followed. "Excuse me for a moment ladies." Jaune said turning to his wives and they nod in acknowledgement

Outside of the mansion Jaune looked at the clone trooper wondering what he had to say to him.

"My lord Commander Elyisa and Durandal are in that location shall I give them the order to help the others with the traps?" The clone trooper informed

"Yes" Jaune ordered

"Yes sir" The clone trooper said and walk away

Jaune looked at him with a sense of pride in the clone trooper. He trained them to become more than a weapon and an army but a force to be reckoned with.

Jaune looked at his home and see his daughter Alas and Newt and saw the happiness in their eyes and doesn't want anything to take it away from them.

With Elyisa and Durandal

They were dreaming when they will see their love and husband Jaune when their communicator in their belt rang and the clones reported seeing Vacuo troops near the location. Elyisa and Durandal grunted and yawned in annoyance.

"The trap has been set. Should we fire on their commander?." A clone trooper asked

"Nah let's lead them in." Elyisa said in glee

"Guess we have a lead in hunting and slaughtering the poor schmucks in the vacuo kingdom." Durandal said smiling as her friend smiled evilly "Contact Bronya tell her to wake her troops and take the southern wall. Tell her we will deal with the main Vacuo forces." Elyisa ordered as clone trooper Elyisa nodded and the clone left to contact Elyisa

"Do you think Jaune will be mad we woke Bronya?." Durandal asked "Only if we killed her or lost, don't worry about it. She isn't going to get any sleep anyways." Elyisa said smiling while hugging her friend "Come on its time for hunting" Elyisa said laughing like a mad woman

"Gosh this is gonna be fun." Durandal said laughing as she and Elyisa gear up for battle

Few days later

Elyisa Durandal, their group of clones along with Bronya and her group have annihilated several pockets of the vacuo forces as they are being pushed into the forest by Bronya and her squad as Bronya was leading an assault against the vacuo criminal the crown and their goal consisted of restoring the collapsed Vacuan monarchy of the Kingdom by constructing an army of powerful Semblance wielders as Bronya was leading the raid as she stand near the crown base

"All troops focus all your firepower on the right side. The left is overpowered by those tuskens and the air force needs to blast them with laser fire." Bronya commanded

"YES MA'AM ." Several clone troopers replied as they charged with arcadian troops as Bronya leads her attack alongside her group

In the other areas Elyisa and Durandal gunned down the enemy forces as they run in speed seeing several prisoners they managed to rescue in a tree before going back to slaughter the crown member's who have aided the Vacuo kingdom to stand against Arcadia.

Durandal was cleaning up the other faction who are called the hollow and Elyisa was glee in her section with several other Arcadian and clones gunning down the vacuo army as Jaune's plan worked like a charm.

"Don't let these terrorist leave here alive." Bronya said in anger

"Yes ma'am" several troopers said as they proceeded to slaughter the enemy as each second many of the terrorist's/monarchist are being cut down by arcadian and clone forces alike.

In the battlefield Bronya kills the enemy with her guns as her eyes have pure hatred in them.

"Is this the best you got!." Bronya challenged as one of the terrorists attempt to shoot her only for Bronya to kill him and two other terrorists

"Give it up for you Arcadian bitch!" One of the terrorist shouted as he charges forward alongside 10 other soldiers but were gunned down

Bronya looked at her combat screen with several ships on air bombing the terrorist locations, sending troops to kill terrorists and vacuo kingdoms troops alike. She smirked as She looked at several bunkers as they have been blown up with their occupants dead as Arcadian and Clones have infiltrated the enemy lines and slaughter them or drive them out as they storm the compound.

Her droids alongside Arcadian infantry storm the base with Jaune's other girlfriend Olivia

Olivia soldiers invading the compound alongside other soldiers.

"Break the defenses and slay all terrorists in your sight. Gun down every solider or criminal you see." Bronya ordered and she fired her rifle several times killing at least 40 enemy troops and then with her superhuman strength she ripped a member of the vacuo kingdom who wore an orange and white suit alongside orange head gear and blue armor alongside googles. As she was busy ripping a person apart while shooting other members of the terrorist cells she didn't notice a high ranking vacuo solider wearing white with an orange as Oliva engaged the enemy alongside her men alongside others

As the battle continues on Bronya commands her soldiers to fight on. She is very proud of how they are taking the enemies with ease. Her soldiers had already shot down 4 warships alongside destroying every weapon systems in the location

Bronya heard a loud explosion from where Olivia is but ignore it as she smiled in joy at the massacre happening in front of her. As the fight goes on Oliva sensed some magic the summer maiden was siding with the enemy forces as she detected large traces of magical energy coming from that area as she decides to kill the summoner and then kill the woman before her power would cause destruction and chaos around the battlefield.

Oliva with Bronya tracked the origin of the magic and find them. Seeing a large glowing magic circle and sensing several people, Olivia charges and attacks. The masked man defended himself but is overwhelmed by Oliva's skill with her weapon. He collapsed onto the ground as Bronya and Olivia destroy the enemy soldiers and the enemies magical being. Oliva held her saber on her chest as she was about to deal the finishing blow.

"Wait.... Just wait...." The man in black mask said panting

Oliva was hesitant but kept her blade on him as Bronya sense something more to the man "Who are you and why were you giving Vacuo kingdom soldiers information regarding your Arcadian troops and vacuo solider forces in an e-mail?" Bronya demanded but the man smiled "I'm surprised you got that info and you took down those other idiots who tried to ambush you and your soldiers. They really thought you guys will fall for such a thing like that." The man in black said his hands touching the floor as he noticed a round shaped object, Bronya and Oliva tried to stop him but it was too late.

He then detonate it causing an explosion of green flames but Bronya and Oliva manage to survive the blast

"Well, you defeated me, congrats" The man in black said smiling as Oliva looked at him with disgusted look in her face but before she could finish him off he chanted but the blue blade cut him in half

"I don't know who you are but you were a traitor now to find the summer maiden location..." Oliva said as she concentrated to find her she did as she did see 5 magical blimps far off in the distance "come on Bronya, we need to go." Oliva said and she took flight with Bronya holding onto her leg "where are we going?." Bronya asked "To find the summer maiden." Oliva said in determination

34 minute later they burst through the door to see a child as they realize this child was the summer maiden as oliva deactivated her lightsaber as Bronya put her guns away

"This is her." Olivia said as the child was tied up as the maiden power could do more damage as Oliva's light blue eyes gazed upon the child as she then walk over towards her, untied her and kneeled beside her and whispered in her ear

"Listen, I need you to use your powers for a mission just a small one but you have to listen to me closely alright...can you do that?" Olivia asked softly and calmly. The child looked at her nodded and she waited for her orders

"Good girl, I need you to leave your home, that means your mommy, daddy, and anyone who means anything to you. You are going to do so without saying goodbye or telling them where you are going." Oliva commanded

"Why... why do I have to leave them?" The girl asked

"You saw what happened just now yes? Do you think these men will not come for you? Your very important to them, you were special but if they get a hold of you they would do horrible things to you. You are in danger and I'm telling you this because I don't want to see someone as young and cute as you get hurt or worse." Oliva said in concern while cupping her cheeks and staring into her eyes as the girl felt better that this lady cared about her but then her tears flow down her cheek and sniffed

"W-what will I do?." She asked as she wiped her tears while crying softly

"Shh.. Shh..." Oliva whispered in comfort as she hugged her in a motherly manner "Your safe, I won't let anyone harm you I promise..." Oliva whispered with a reassuring smile.

Bronya looked at her kind affection to this child, making her believe that vacuo deserve to be turned into a scorched land. All of them deserve it all of them were terrible monsters who sell children, violate them and abuse them. No one will take that away from them. She smiled at her kind, caring girlfriend and hoped one day she would be able to give birth to her own child. She even imagining getting a baby for herself. The image of her holding a tiny life in her hands filled her mind as she smiled to herself as she admired Olivia as she hugged and comfort the crying child.

"You don't have to worry about where you would stay or what you eat, there are people there who would take care of you, you don't have to go hungry or thirsty again...as long as you follow my instructions everything will be alright." Oliva said kindly

"Can... can you come with me?" She asked

Olivia smile "You'll be okay, there are nice people at the place you will be going, but no one will protect you better than yourself. Don't worry though, we have already ensured that you will not be alone. You must trust us when we say that we have set up an environment for you to grow in. We have designed it with children like you in mind. You don't have to be afraid, nor will you have to cry anymore. So please tell me what you want me to do, and I will do everything I can to fulfill that wish." Oliva said while the child still cried. Olivia wiped away her tears with her thumb and held her chin with her fingers, looking straight into her eyes and smiling kindly to reassure the young girl.

Oliva could sense that the child's trust in her increased and she sighed softly as the child looked up at her
"I...I want to be...happy...I don't want to be hurt anymore." She said sniffling.

Oliva smiled but Bronya was on guard as she walked behind them, looking around her surroundings seeing if there are any enemies outside waiting for them

Oliva closed her eyes and let her thumb rest against the soft skin of the child's lips before moving to trace the outline of them. As her fingertip moved, a sensation washed over Oliva like a wave crashing onto the shore, pulling away and withdrawing back into the deep abyss. It was beautiful. There was something about that feeling that she loved; it gave her comfort, security.

"it time to go." Bronya said in a demanding tone

The young child nodded as Bronya brought her finger to the side of her head activating her communicator

"This is Bronya commanding 3 armored bullhead with an escort of 6 starfighters with laser cannons. Do you copy?" Bronya demanded
"This is high commander Krysta at the fort Teth coordinates 1032 confirming." The comms officer said as she closed communication
The two women escorted the young girl outside of her home and took off towards a warship as several fighter pilots and a soldier enter the girls house with 4 soldiers being armed with g-108 rifles alongside 4 clones as one of them hold a pouch of what they see was fairy dust as they put them on every corner and lastly they put one in the main hall before they then cover the floor and walls with fairy dust, afterwards they get out of the home with one of them guarding the door until it was time for the self destruct as they got far enough away from the girl's house as they pull a device out of their belt buckle as one of them threw the device towards the home and run as fast as they could

Back at the warship
The young child watched as the Shelter exploded from the fbomb all around them as tears fell down her eyes as she saw her house get destroyed she saw her neighborhood being destroyed along with her school and she cried a little harder but it was stopped when she felt warm hand on her head she looked up to see the warrior smiling down at her with a sympathetic smile before she put her hand on her cheek

"Dry your tears, you're safe now, you can be happy here." Olivia said kind heartedly

The girl wiped her tears and nodded as Bronya stand near them. As the three got on a bullhead it was all a matter of time before they get to their destination

———____

Jaune was reading the last message from Furlan one of the original 15 member as he read it before Furlan was killed by Juniper... his eyes had tears as he read it he never had a times since the war and being emperor now he wanted to this. To read Furlan last letter to him and One-Five
***To whoever finds this letter,***

***If you're reading this, either I'm dead or fighting my last mission.***

***I know I've always spoken about being prepared for anything, but I also know that no of preparation can soften the blow of losing someone you care about. I'm sorry for the pain this letter will bring you, and I wish I could be there to comfort you, to tell you that everything will be alright. But if these words are all I have left to give, then let them be a final testament to what you've meant to me. Words cannot fully capture the depth of love and gratitude I hold in my heart for each of you, but I will do my best to convey what you all mean to me in these final words.***

***Every battle I fought, I fought knowing that I had something—no, someone—worth fighting for. You gave me a reason to keep pushing forward, to come home after every mission. I can still feel the warmth of your embrace, hear your laughter that cut through the darkest nights, and see your smiles that lit up even the bleakest of days. I never told you enough, but you were my strength, my anchor. Please know that every decision I made was with you in mind, striving to create a safer and better world for us all. I regret any pain my duties may have caused you, but I hope you understand that my love for you was the force that drove me forward, even in the darkest times. Take care of each other in my absence. Lean on one another for strength and comfort, and continue to live your lives to the fullest. Carry on the traditions we started, tell our stories, and keep our memories alive. Know that wherever I am, my love surrounds you always.***

***To my cherished friends, you have been my comrades in arms, my confidants, my pillars of support throughout this incredible journey. Together, we have faced insurmountable odds and emerged victorious time and time again. The bonds we've forged are stronger than steel and will endure beyond the boundaries of time and space. Thank you for the camaraderie, the laughter we have shared over drinks after long missions, and the unwavering trust you've placed in me as your friend. Each of you has taught me invaluable lessons about courage, loyalty, and what it truly means to stand together in the face of adversity.***

***If I've fallen, and I probably will, I want you all to promise me something: Live for me. Live with the same courage and determination that we have fought with. Keep each other safe, hold each other close, and never forget that you carry my memory with you. Let my death not only be a reminder of the cost of peace, but also the love and hope that makes every sacrifice worthwhile. In my final moments, know that I thought of you. I thought of the life we shared, the dreams we had, and the future I wanted us to build together. My body may be gone, but my spirit will sail with you, in every breeze that brushes your cheek, in every sunrise that breaks the horizon. I am with you, always.***

***Thank you for everything. For the love, the friendship, the laughter, and the tears. I was a better man because of you, and I will love you until the stars no longer shine. Farewell, my dearest ones. I'll be waiting for you among the endless afterlife.***

***Forever yours,***
Furlan

Jaune remembers that day. Before the last battle he and Furlan took on a suicidal mission to  storm and  capture Jeanne and Elizabeth. They needed information and the last battle took a heavy toll on the remaining One-Five and Arcadian army even with his system from his Eikon of creation. Jaune needed to find a way so he and Furlan agree to go for the heart of his formers aunts. The mission was successful until Juniper came as he remember Furlan words to him

"Live to fight another day brother. Live to fight another day......For the one-five." Furlan said knowing he had to sacrifices his life as he remembers his shock seeing Furlan shoving him into his ship with his clone trooper dragging their leader to safety as it blast off

Later he and few others went to retrieve the body. Jaune had cried seeing Furlan body. It was mutilated by his bitch of a mother. Furlan body look mangled and ripped in piece but he saw Furlan smile. He knew whatever he did must have taunted Juniper.

He had a funeral for Furlan once they recovered his body. All the soldiers came and paid their respect. Many of the One-Five and the last original 15 cried. They lost a brother. But Jaune took it the hardest. His friend, one of his important part his family was gone. The only one he has left is the remaining members of the One-Five his sisters cousins and kids.

Jaune wiped the tear that fell on his face as he closed his eyes.

"How many live have we taken. How many lives have we ruined. Is it all worth it. Are the sacrifices worth it?" Jaune said silently.

He heard footstep and it was Rias

"I...I can't answer that question." Rias said as she heard her boyfriend saying this "All we can do is move forward and do what we can. And right now, you need to focus on the people who needs you the most. You are an Emperor now and you need to put your personal feelings aside and make the hard decisions." Rias said

"I know." Jaune said as he was silent "It just feels like we're becoming the same thing Nicholas was."

Rias had a saddened look on her face, as she knew her boyfriend had a good heart. But she had to tell him the harsh reality

"Jaune, listen to me. We are not becoming like Nicholas. He is a monster. A man who thinks he can do whatever he wants. Who cares about no one but himself. He doesn't care about the lives of his people. You do Jaune. Sure we are conquering the 4 kingdom but sooner or later that problem will come if we don't end it now." Rias stated with a emotionless voice.

Jaune stayed silent and nodded as he hugged his girlfriend who was the last person who cares about him

"Lets do it...together." Jaune said while making eye contact with his girlfriend, as both their hands glowed a bright red hue before it went away after 5 seconds

As both Jaune and Rias where just relaxing before they heard the alarm going off. Both their eyes widen before they quickly got dressed as they grabbed the rail-gun assault rifle and went to the control room.

Mistral

Currently at the city of Argus
Two girls of Jaune Royal guard take one of Jaune harem member Rose a royal high elf

Rose

Jaune Royal guard

Two of Jaune Royal Guard wear guarding Rose their names were Hope and Hannah

They had been given orders to protect her at all cost by their Emperor, Jaune.

The two girls had taken their positions near Rose. They were currently inside a small room which was located inside the castle, the two girls stood in front of a large window. The view from their room was incredible, the whole town was visible, from the buildings that were close by to the people who lived there.

Rose sat in the corner of the room, looking up at her bodyguard in confusion.

"Please Hope, Hannah.. I appreciate you keeping watch, but this room is plenty safe." Rose said with a small smile as Hannah waved away the girls request

"Our Emperor has ordered us to keep watch until we can determine it's safe. We're sorry Miss Rose."

She's tried arguing, but the girl's words cut through whatever she had to say.

The three of them waited in the darkness as they listened to the sounds of their safe home.

Suddenly Hope pulled her sword sensing Huntsman and huntress was attacking the Argus

Hannah drew her rifle and aimed it at a window

A shot was fired out of nowhere, the flash blinding Rose momentarily. It hit Hannah's upper arm, but due to her armor it had no effect.

After the initial flash of the gun Hannah returned fire, a storm of bullets sent toward the shooter, hitting him square in the chest. The figure slumped over and fell off the roof they had perched on, crashing onto the ground below with an echoing crack.

Rose then send a burst of fire trying to stop her assailant as it simply hurt the rogue Huntsman and Huntress as they retreated

Hope returned fire as Hannah charged with Rose seeing a bunch of figures wearing armour and hoods appeared to be taking position

"Protect! You both have your assignments! Go!" Hope shouted to her partner, Hannah giving a sharp nod before moving to the right side of the building to deal with more incoming Huntsman and Huntresses

Rose then scream activating holy fire magic as she sent several burst of golden flame towards their assailants

An explosion of light came from within the room and created a cloud that was impossible to see through.

A female figure walked through the smoke, wielding an odachi, glowing blue and gold. Her piercing blue eyes, looking into Roses soul as the high elf stared down the blonde in front of her. The Huntress collapsed after as Rose spoke.

"Wow after all that and she dies insteally coming out of that powerful spell... just my luck. Teehee!" Rose laughed herself at the irony as she stood and faced down the small swarm of hunters and huntsmen. As she stood there, a small giggle began to rise in her chest, it soon became chuckling, and then howling cackles as she laughed wildly.

"DIE!!!' Rose shouted to her assailant hearing a couple of screams

Hope uses her force strike breaking the weapon of a hunter and cut him apart with her sword as she heard a female huntress get bisected into two pieces and a male hunter was split in half vertically as he landed to the ground.

Hope then blocked another Odachi blade who was her opponent

"What!? We were told the maidens were here. What are you!?" The masked Hunter said in disbelief, earning a grin and shrug from her opponent.

"Just a warrior protecting the emperor girlfriend. I suggest you all leave, now." Hope said in a no nonsense manner as the hunter ran trying to escape, but it was already too late for him

Meanwhile Hannah was putting more round through the skulls of hunters and huntsmen

Her job was simple, neutralize any potential targets and threats. Protect Rose, and make sure they aren't followed.

Rose used several magic spell to finish the last few hunters

Hannah scanned the scene, dead bodies littered the street and dark crimson blood flowed freely out of the numerous corpses.

The stench of fresh entrails lingered in the air, the strong smell assaulting her senses and causing her eyes to water.

It wasn't pretty, but as a Hunter-Warrior herself she understood how cruel the world can be. This was their true reality, and she wasn't afraid to embrace it

Rose chuckled and said "Contact Jaune tell him to begin the next phrase for Mistral."
