He barely made it out of that wreckage, and he had no idea what even happened. He was on his way to Pyrrha and then he saw Ruby climb up on top of the building she was on. After that, there was nothing but white. He lost consciousness, and woke up in the wreckage of Beacon.

Jaune made his way toward the rescue ship, only to find it had been destroyed as well. He saw Qrow running towards the rubble that was left of the CCT Tower. Jaune ran towards him, desperate to see if Pyrrha and Ruby were okay.

"Qrow?" Jaune said, catching up with him.

Qrow turned around.

"You need to get out of here, kid." He demanded

"The rescue ship was destroyed, and I'm not leaving without Ruby or Pyrrha!" Jaune insisted. He couldn't just leave and not know if his friends survived or not.

"Fine, then follow me." Qrow continued to walk, Jaune following him.

When they got to the remains of the tower, Qrow spotted Ruby's scythe next to what used to be a door. He moved the door, and revealed an unconscious Ruby.

"Dammit, Ruby!" Qrow was angry. Why did she put herself in danger like this? She was only 15!

Qrow picked Ruby up and turned around to find Jaune staring at a pile of ash and a gold crown.

"Th-that's Pyrrha's crown." Jaune was at a loss for words. It couldn't be true. Pyrrha was too good of a fighter to be defeated. At least, he thought so.

Qrow sighed. He hadn't ever talked to Pyrrha, but Ruby mentioned her a few times. She seemed to mean a lot to her.

"I'm sorry. We should get out of her. Ruby's Dad is on the way here." Qrow advised Jaune, regretfully. He doubted Jaune would want to leave, but he needed to be brought to safety. The giant grimm dragon was frozen above them. Qrow knew how it happened, of course. It was Ruby's power.

"Okay." Jaune answered, simply. He didn't feel like talking.

"We have to find Yang." Qrow realized.

"The last place I saw her was at Beacon's landing area." Jaune said, picking up Pyrrha's crown and putting it in his bag.

Qrow nodded and they headed to their destination. Jaune immediately saw Yang in between two pieces of rubble. Her arm was bleeding, as it had been cut off.

"Oh my god, no." Qrow set Ruby down, gently, and ran to Yang. He crouched next to her and dug into his pockets, searching for some sort of cloth. Jaune walked over to them, and handed a medium-sized handkerchief to Qrow. He wrapped the handkerchief over Yang's wound, and looked over at Jaune.

"You gotta carry her." He told Jaune.

Jaune nodded and bent over to pick up Yang. He grunted as he lifted the blonde, and looked at Qrow.

"It's alright, I got ya, kiddo. I got ya." Qrow whispered, picking up Ruby again. Taiyang's airship arrived, and the two men walked toward it. Taiyang saw Ruby and Yang in their arms, and his heart sped up. His girls were injured, and he didn't get to Beacon fast enough, so by default it was his fault, as their father.

Qrow and Jaune reached the airship, and they flew back to Patch. Qrow showed Jaune where he could stay until he got ahold of his parents.

Qrow and Taiyang stood next to Ruby's bed.

"We have to try to communicate with the other kingdoms." Taiyang tuned the radio next to Ruby's bed, trying to find a signal. It was just static, no matter what channel he went to.

Taiyang sighed.

"Nothing." He sat in a chair behind him.

"Just turn it off. Without the CCT, there's no point." Qrow rubbed his face with both of his hands.

"Communication down across the entire kingdom, no way to contact the outside world...and Ozpin's still missing." Taiyang stated.

"Yeah." Qrow didn't really have any other answer. Beacon was destroyed, and the rest of Ruby's friends were nowhere to be found. This was not good.

"This is bad, Qrow." Taiyang read Qrow's mind, it seemed.

"Yeah. This is bad." Qrow agreed. He had no idea what to do. There wasn't much he could do.

"I'm going for a walk. Watch the girls, and check on Jaune." There was only so much Tai could take. He needed to get away for a little while. Tai left the room, and Qrow followed him, going towards Jaune's temporary room.

He knocked on the door, not sure what good he could do. He didn't really know Jaune. Ruby had spoken of him fondly before, but he'd never actually talked to Jaune.

"Hey kid, can I come in?" Qrow asked, after not hearing an answer. Jaune still didn't say anything from inside the room, and Qrow started to worry. He opened the door and sighed at what he saw.

Ooo cliffhanger!

Don't worry, I'd never kill Jaune.

Or would I?

You'll have to find out tomorrow.
