"A SPARTAN!?" Jaune exclaims in shock.

"Yes, Arcbiter inside that ship is a Spartan." Zikan replies

Jaune then looks at Zikan worried before muttering to himself.

"...This could be a problem..." Jaune mutters worriedly, as he is in deep thought.

Things are getting more shocking for Jaune right now, first his return to Remnant, second the truth behind the Halo Rings, third his sisters, fourth the arrival of shipmasters and now an UNSC frigate drifting in space with an ALIVE Spartan inside.

A Spartan, alone in an abandoned and destroyed UNSC frigate, drifting close to Remnant space! Being honest it shocked Jaune hearing about a UNSC Frigate being close to Remnant, which concerns him, even though it's abandoned and destroyed.

Though UNSC Spartans are not what worried Jaune, he did fought a few of them and killed a few aswell. Hearing Spartan is not Jaune's problem, since he had experience taking down Spartans. But what shook him is the fact an UNSC frigate is very close to Remnant Space. Destroyed or not, it concerns the Arc thinking that the UNSC will soon discover their location, he cannot take the risk of being discovered by his former enemies! And Jaune has many reasons why.

Ever since Jaune became FleetMaster and started glassing many of the UNSC colonies with so much success, The UNSC has placed a huge bounty on Jaune for, 9,000,000,000 Credits, which considers him the MOST dangerous Covenant FleetMaster to ever live along with Thel Vadam' being first, and it doesn't help the fact that Jaune is also human, which shocks the UNSC higher-ups when they discovered the FleetMaster himself is human.

The UNSC Higher-ups were wondering why a Human, like Jaune, is helping with the extermination of Humanity. But apart from helping the enemy and being human, Jaune is considered one of the most dangerous strategist during the war against the UNSC, he's strategies are so unpredictable, that the UNSC were caught off-guard before they know what could hit them, which marks him to be eliminated immediately.

There were multiple times Jaune was nearly Assassinated, but the shots only bounce off from him even taking a headshot, while still being alive. Many of the Covenant Soldiers and UNSC soldiers, and Jaune himself were wondering how Jaune survive those shots, Jaune thought it was the armor protecting him, but unknown to the Arc, it was his Aura protecting him. And thanks to that, Jaune is now more aware of any future assassination.

Now back to important matters at hand, Jaune then looks at Zikan with a serious expression.

"Zikan, I want you to prepare out an extraction team, we're bring that Spartan here at Crocea's Light." Jaune said as Zikan looks at him as if the Arcbiter has gone insane.

"Arcbiter, is that wise to do that? Remember the UNSC still has a bounty on you." Zikan reasoned.

"I know, but I think if we were able to get the Spartan to understand that I'm no longer part of Covenant there's a chance that he will not try to kill me. And plus if he sees humans co-existing among different races, then he will spare me and maybe join us." Jaune countered.

"And if he doesn't listen?" Zikan asked.

"He will... He will..." Jaune reassured him.

Zikan was skeptical, but nodded in understanding before leaving the office preparing a Squad for extraction.

-Timeskip-

Soon, Jaune, Zikan and his squad of Stealth Elites(that consist of Human, Faunus and Sangeheili) are heading to the CCS Battlecruiser so they can get the Spartan in the abandoned frigate.

Everyone is geared up, I'm equipped with a Carbine and my Arc's Wrath. Zikan is equipped with his Energy Sword and a Plasma Rifle. Our troops are equipped with Plasma rifles, Carbines and Energy swords.

As Jaune and his troops board the The Battlecruiser as it's starts ascending from the ground to the sky before leaving the Planet's atmosphere as a Jaune start to brief his troops of the extraction.

"Alright men, this mission today is an extraction mission, today we are going to rescue a...Spartan" Jaune briefed them as the Sangeheili troops recoil in shock while the Human and Faunus Elites looks confuse. "Yes, I know this is a shocker to the Sangheili and a dangerous mission to rescue a Spartan, but it's important that the UNSC will not see me as threat. We need to make sure that they won't come here and kill us." Jaune said.

"But Arcbiter, we're human...wouldn't that be enough for them to be convince that you're no longer apart of the Covenant?" One of his Human Specs Ops pointed out.

"Listen, the UNSC will think that this is some kind of trick, and doesn't help the fact that I'm consider a threat, after all I did glass many Colonies... so any more objections?

Jaune's troops glance each other as they look back at me.

"Good, now let's save ourselves a Spartan." Jaune declares with his 'Arc's Wrath' out.

After a few minutes of tense waiting the pilot informs them.

":/Arcbiter! We are nearing the UNSC frigate in a few seconds, be ready!/:" the Pilot informed us.

"Alright, get ready!" Jaune Announces as his troops gets ready.

As the boarding hatch of the CCS connects to the UNSC Frigate, the doors opens and instantly Jaune's squad starts securing the Area.

After a few seconds Jaune then gestures his squad to follow his lead. As they continue into the hallways with caution, they can see dead Marines and dead Covenant troops everywhere, all dead. The Human and Faunus Elites look at the window and can't help, but gawk at the view they are seeing. They can see their planet Remnant from space!

"It's...it's beautiful..." one of the Faunus Elites said with awe.

"...yeah..." one of the Human Elites said.

"Seeing they can accomplish the impossible... I'm glad we're apart of the Covenant's Arc." One of The Female Faunus Elites said.

"Hey!" The One of the Elites calls out breaking out of their thoughts. "Quit your chattering, and be cautious! Even though we're alone in this vessel, we should be always be alert! Understand?"

"Sorry, Sir!" They said in Unison.

"Good.." He said as they continue their way to the Spartan.

Jaune looks at his motion tracker constantly making sure that's there's no surprise ambush waiting for them. As they continue walking they come across a cryogenic room, Jaune looks at his motion tracker and sees one life signal inside.

"Guys, we're here... this is the place... proceed with caution." Jaune said sternly as his troops nods in response.

When they enter the Cryo Room they can see twelve cryo chambers, eleven of them all inactive while one is currently being used, which means the Spartan is inside.

"This is it... come on, help me carry this Cryo Chamber back to the CCS..."

"Yes Arcbiter!" Soon him and his troops starts detaching the Cryo Chamber and starts carrying to the CCS and back to one of Jaune's Medical Facilities in the "Arc's Light".

~Timeskip~
Location: Medical Facility.

Jaune stands there as his troops place the Cryo Chamber inside the Room.

"Good job, now all we have to do is wake him up..." Jaune said as he walks towards the Cryo Chamber ready to wake the Spartan.

"But Arcbiter, wouldn't it be best he sees a different human other than you? Since you are pretty much a threat?" The Human Doctor suggested.

"Hm... good point..." Jaune nods and looks at his troops, mainly the Sangeheili and Faunus ones. "All Non-human troops, leave the room..." his troops nods and leaves along with Jaune leaving only the Human Elites and Doctors.

The Doctor sighs as he gestures his assistant to open the Cryo Pod, the assistant nods as she actives the pod to open. When the pod opens the Human Elites immediately reach for their weapon as the Spartan sits up as he held his head feeling a bit dazed.

"What?..." The Spartan he said as he looks around to see only two doctors and a few human soldiers. "Where am I? Who are you?" The Spartan asked.

"Well, you're in one of our medical facilities...luckily our leader was able to send a rescue team to save you."

"Well...I'm grateful for that...so who's your leader?" The Spartan asked curiously.

The door opens to reveal Jaune and his troops with him.

"That would be me..." Jaune said as he entered the room with his troops behind.

The Spartan looks at the direction where the voice came from and stared wide-eyed. Infront of him is FleetMaster Jaune Arc, one responsible for the billions of Human deaths. The Spartan's shock turns to rage.

"YOU!" The Spartan shouts in anger.

"Hello...Demon..." Jaune said with venom found in his voice.

The Spartan attempts to attack the Arc, but it was thwarted when one of the Human Elites swiftly activates her energy sword and aims it close to his neck stopping his advances.

"Don't even think about Spartan!" The Human Elite threatens as the other troops pulls out their weapons and trained it on the Spartan.

The Spartan looked shock at the actions of the Human Elites, and he can see Faunus Elites aswell, which confuses him to see humans with animal features. But what confuse him more is why are these humans defending a MURDERER! FleetMaster Jaune Arc! The only Human in the Covenant to ever fight against humanity and responsible for the deaths he caused, is now being protected by humans.

"What are you doing!?" The Spartan exclaims, "You're suppose to be fight him!"

"He's our leader and he's the one that saved you" One of the Doctors said sternly.

Spartan looks shock again, but composes himself and Glares at the Human and Faunus Elites, "Your leader!? You don't understand! That leader you're following and defending-!"

"Is responsible for the glassing of many of the UNSC colonies and responsible for the billions of human deaths during his time in the Human-Covenant war we know." The Human Elite replied back.

The Spartan looks shock again, and composes himself.

"How did you know that?" He asked.

"I told them everything..." Jaune said, getting the Spartan's attention.

The Spartan scoffs, "I guessed you brainwashed them to follow you."

"Ofcourse not! That's inhumane! I would never do that!" Jaune argued.

"Heh, inhumane? Says the FleetMaster who killed innocents!" The Spartan said in disgust.

Jaune was tempted to end the Spartan's life, but he calmed down.

"Listen, I'm not here to fight..." Jaune said with a clam tone making the Spartan confused.

"W-what?" The Spartan asked in confusion.

"I'm here to negotiate..." Jaune said.

Spartan looked at Jaune in disbelief, Jaune Arc? Responsible for the human deaths and the destruction of many colonies is willing to negotiate?! This shocked the Spartan because the FleetMaster is always considered merciless and never negotiate with the enemy. The Spartan composed himself before speaking.

"Negotiate? For what?" The Spartan asked, with slight surprise.

Jaune looked at the Spartan with hope in his eyes and he said something that will shock the Spartan even more.

"Peace..."

"What?" The Spartan asked again, making sure he's not hearing things.

"I said, I want peace... I'm no longer a part of the Covenant..." Jaune said with honesty, as the Spartan looked at the former enemy with shock.

"Is this some kind of joke!?" The Spartan asked, before he could answer one of the Faunus Elites interjected.

"No...it's not... the Arcbiter, is telling the truth."

"Arcbiter?"

"Look let me explain everything to you...let me start with the beginning." Jaune said as he tells his backstory on how he became what he is today. He told him he's planet Remnant and it's history. From the Humans and Faunus, the Grimms, the four kingdoms. Vale, Atlas who has strongest military in Remnant, Vacuo, and Haven. Needless to say, The Spartan frowned deeply about the Racism between Faunus and Humans. Also what surprises him is weapons that can transform into both Melee and Range. Also telling them about the Terrorist organization called the White Fang used to be a Peaceful group before they come an extremist group.

Next Jaune told him everything, from faking transcript, his initiation, the forming of Team JNPR with Jaune being elected leader, saving his bully from being eaten by an Ursa which proves that Jaune can be a huntsman, and next he told him his torment at the Academy, betrayed and abandoned by his team and his friends and disowned by Father, leaving Beacon for good and lastly, being transported to Sangehelios.

Surprisingly the Spartan felt sympathy for the Arc, he can see pain and sadness in the FleetMaster eyes, and next Jaune told him his recruitment to the Covenant, and climbing up to the Covenant's Rank and he's defection. Next he told him about the Forerunner facilities and the Truth of the Halo Rings, the birth of the 'Covenant's Arc' and offering the Human and Faunus to be part of his growing kingdom or Empire and also his current development that involves Cinder.

"...and that's all I have to say..." Jaune finishes his story.

"...I feel bad for you... I guess... there's a reason why your like this..." The Spartan said with sympathy.

"I thank you for your sympathy..." Jaune said.

"Well, what about that Cinder Fall you talk about?"

"Well, one of my non-lethal torture tactics failed, so I use one of my MOST non-lethal ones..."

Location: Grunt Breeding Chamber

This is one of of Jaune's most INHUMANE tortures ever, it was only used if the first Torture method failed and now Cinder watches in horror, and she's forced to watch Grunts...

.

BREEDING!!!

"MMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPMMMMM!!!!! MMMMMPPPPPMMMMM!!!" Cinder yelled through her cloth with muffles as she watches in horror as the Grunts breed and she trashes around hoping to get out.

Translation: OH SWEET MOTHER OF OUM!!! WHAT KIND OF TORTURE IS THIS!?! PLEASE SOMEONE END THIS!!!

On the outside of the Breeding Chamber, are four Honor Guards wearing their earphones as they listen to music while Cinder continues to yell out muffles of horror which is ignored by the Guards.

'I think she's traumatized...' One of the Honor Guards thoughts, but he shrugs it off as he listens to his music on his scroll.

-Back with Jaune-

"...and fortunately it's working so far..." Jaune said.

"That's good to hear..." the Spartan said.

"Oh, by the way, you haven't introduced yourself yet..."

"Very well, since I know your name already, I guess it's my turn..." The Spartan said as he takes off his helmet and stands straight and salutes.

"Alex-023 reporting for duty Arcbiter sir! Code name: Spectre!" Alex said with authority as I salute back.

Soon Zikan burst in with urgency. "ARCBITER!"Zikan yelled out catching the Arc's attention.

"Commander Zikan? What is it old friend?" Jaune asked in concern, as Zikan pants a bit before speaking.

"Sir! There has been a breach in Vale and it's currently being attacked by Grimms!"

Jaune cursed and Sangeheili and looked at Zikan "Get our troops to mobilize and immediately! It's time for us to reveal ourselves..."

"Arcbiter, is that wise?" Zikan asked as if the Arcbiter is crazy.

"Yes, I am and besides we have 3 CAS and 16 CCS ready for combat it's time for my friends to see me without my helmet." Jaune said sternly, "prepare one of our CCS for combat!"

"Yes Arcbiter!" Zikan said as he runs back to get the troops ready.

Jaune looks at Alex and said. "You wanna join?"

Alex smirked and put his helmet on, "you bet, it's time for me to get some action."

Jaune smiles at this as he starts running to the Phantom with his troops mobilized and entering the CCS to get to the defense of Vale from the Grimm threat. It's time for Remnant to see what the 'Covenant's Arc' is capable of.

~Timeskip~
Location: Vale

Meanwhile team RWBY, team PNR, team CFVY, team CRDL and Jaune's sisters were hiding behind rubble, with them holding the Grimm off as much as they can, they are holding them off well, but unfortunately they are running low on ammunition, and dust and they were beginning to become exhausted with their Aura being close to depletion.

"There's too many of them!!!" Ruby exclaimed as she takes down a Beowolf.

"We need to hold them out as reinforcements are coming, right?" Velvet asked with hope.

"They should be!" Coco calls out as she mows down more Grimms with her mini-gun.

"We need to keep on holding them off!" Yatsuhashi shouts as he kills another Grimm

"I don't want to lose hope guys!" Blake said firing her weapon "but were pressed against massive odds and it doesn't seem like they'll stop coming anytime soon!"

"We can still win though, there's always a way to win." Ruby said with hope and determination, despite the odds on their favor.

"Not all the time!" Lucy said a as she brings down her mace crushing the Beowolf. "But there's still hope!"

"Right!" Aria the fourth youngest of the sisters said as she kills another with her spear "We can't give up yet, we still need to defend Vale!"

But just as she said that an Alpha Beowolf jumped down next to them causing them to seperate, it then went for the younger sisters who were huddled together jumping at them.

Allison, Lucy and Athena gave out a cry of worry to their sisters when all of a sudden a plasma projectile hits the Grimm, killing it and disappears into dust, everyone looked at the direction where the shot came from, at first they didn't see anything but when the figure de-cloak himself, what they see made the Beacon students and Arc sisters utterly speechless and in pure shocked!
