Jaune is sitting with his sister Joan at the high table, with them is all of the Nobel houses in Ark Town and towns around it. The room was full of arguments, however.
"You can't expect Knights of House Tucker to side with assassins and terrorists! They will invade our homes!" Cried lord Tucker,
"We don't plan to invade anything. We were invited here" Mercury told Tucker
"Not by me!" Yelled Tucker
Jaune rubs his eyes and sighs, he stands up and everyone goes quiet
"The Silver hands, the Faunas, and the Knights of Ark Town fought bravely, fought together, and we won. My friend Raven once told me that we find our true friends on the battlefield" Jaune tells them
then a man stands up and looks to Jaune, "Tyrian Callows is defeated. The war is over. Summer has come. If the Seer is right, it'll hold the largest storms to be seen in a thousand years. We should ride home and wait out the coming storm!" Cried the man
Jaune then looked at the man as he sat down "The war is not over. And I promise you...the real enemy won't wait out the storm neither will the Grimm. He brings the storm and the new Grimm with him" Jaune said
The room began to shout and argue.
Then Lady Carolina rose up from her seat "QUITE!" She yelled
The room fell silent. Carolina looked to fellow houses
"Your son was butchered at the scorpion Wedding, Lord Tucker, but you refused the call of Jaune Arc. You swore allegiance to House Arc Lord Washington but in their hour of greatest need, you refused their call, and you, Lord Simmons, your father was eaten alive by Tyrian Callow's hounds. Still, you refuse the call. But House Church remembers! Ark Town remembers! We know no king but the King in Ark Town whose name is Arc. I don't care if he's a bastard. Jonathan Arc's blood runs through his veins!" Carolina yelled to the other houses "I don't know about the rest of you, but there's only one man I need to bend the knee too! And his name is JAUNE ARC! THE KING OF ARKS" Carlina cried.
The men began to murmur, then Lord Tucker stood up and the room fell silent again
"Lady Church speaks harshly and truly. My son died for Katelyn Arc, the full moon. I didn't think we'd find another king in my lifetime. I didn't commit my men to your cause because I didn't want more Tuckers dying for anything...but I was wrong. Jaune Arc avenged the scorpions wedding! He is the Black Moon! The King of the Ark's!" Tucker yelled and drew his sword, raised it and put the end to the ground and he kneeled in front of Jaune,
Lord Washington stood up and looked to Jaune, "I did not fight beside you on the field and I will regret that until my dying day. A man can only admit when he was wrong and ask forgiveness" Jaune looks at him
"There's nothing to forgive, my lord" Jaune told him
"There will be more fights to come. House Washington will stand behind House Arc as we have for a thousand years! And I will stand behind Jaune Arc! The King of the Ark's!" Washington draws his blade, then rests its point-down on the ground and kneels
"The King of the Ark's!" Lord Washington yelled again
Everyone in the hall stands and draws their blades. They all began to cheer for Jaune
"The King of the Ark's! The King of the Ark's! The King of the Ark's! The King of the Ark's! The King of the Ark's! The King of the Ark's! The King of the Ark's! The King of the Ark's!"
They all cheered again even the white Fang and the Silver hands
Jaune stands up and agrees to be the king of Arc Town, Joan smiles at this.
A Week Later:
.
.
Jaune stands at the high table. Weiss and Flynt sit at his sides. Mercury, Sienna, Neon, Nora, Ilia, and Carolina and the lords of the Sourthern houses are in attendance.
"I want every sourthern lord to find their records for any mention of Moonsteel. Moonsteel kills Hybrids. It's more valuable to us now than gold. We need to find it, we need to mine it, we need to make weapons from it. Everyone aged 10 to 60 will train daily with spears, guns, swords, any other Mecha-shift weapon" Jaune told them
"what about the nearest huntsmen? should we ask them to help?" asked lord Caboose
"yeah, I'll have Queen Cinder and Queen Winter also help. While we're preparing for attack, we need to up our defenses. The only thing standing between us and the Army of the Dead are the borders that seprate the countrys, and we need to set up guard towers, and I want Mercury and Sienna to do that near vert" Jaune said
"you got it man" Mercury chuckled
suddently a messanger walked in and walked to Jaune
"It's from Vale City" he said
Jaune grabbed the message and read it out loud "Salem of House Chynoble, First of Her Name, Queen of Vale, Protector of the land-"
"What does she want?" Nora asked
"Come to Vale. Bend the knee or suffer the fate of all traitors" Jaune finished
Weiss sighed "You've been so consumed with the Hybrids, you've forgotten about the one to the North"
"I'm consumed with the Dark Brother because I've seen him. And believe me, you'd think of little else if you had, too" Jaune sighed "I'll figure something out, and I will figure something out soon" Jaune said
Yang in beacon, a rainstorm had occurred. there was a knock on the door.
"come in" she said
and in walked in Arslan, she smiled at yang and Yang jumped out of his seat and the two hugged
"was the mission succses?" Yang asked
Arslan nodded, "yes it was"
"then where is she?" Yang asked "wheres weiss? and neptune?"
"Yeah... about that..." Arslan began
The room is filled with lords and ladies, including, Ilia, Weiss, Neptune, Whitley, Nora, as well as Carolina. Jaune is standing in the great hall holding a message up for the lords to see
"This message was sent to me by Yang Xiao-Long. She was Mine and Weiss's best-friend at the Beacon. I trust her as much as anyone in this world. and her body guard, Arslan Atlan, had also discovered proof that there is a mountain of Moonstone in the red forest"
The lords murmur amongst themselves.
"She intends to take the Throne from Salem. She has a powerful army at her back and if this message is to be believed, three dragons" Jaune told them "and she has invited me to Beacon to meet and I'm going to accept"
There is a negative outcry from the lords gathered in the hall. Jaune sighed
"We need the Moonstone, My Lords. it's one of the only things that can destroy both the dark brother and his army. We need to mine it and turn it into weapons!" Jaune cried "But more importantly, we need allies. Yang has her own army and she has dragon fire. I need to try and persuade her to fight with us. Me and Flynt will fly tomorrow to Beacon.
lord Washington stands up and turns to face Jaune.
"Your Grace, with respect, we called your Sister Queen, and then she rode north and lost her kingdom"
"The Winter storms are here! we need the King in the South in the South!" Carolina cried
The lords pound the tables in agreement.
Jaune slammed his fist on the table, all the lords stopped and Jaune sighed "You all crowned me your king. I never wanted it, I never asked for it, but I accepted it because the south is my home and Arktown is my home. It's part of me and I will never stop fighting for it, no matter the odds" Jaune cried "But the odds are against us. None of you have seen the Hybrid Army. None of you. We can never hope to defeat them alone. We need allies, powerful allies. I know it's a risk. But I have to take it" Jaune finished
"Then send an emissary. Don't go yourself" Weiss told him
"Yang is a Queen. Only a King can convince her to help us. It has to be me, besides, I'm sure she'll be happy to see us"
"Us?" Weiss asked
"yeah, your coming with me" Jaune told her
"but you're abandoning your people! Your abandoning your home!" Weiss cried
"I'm leaving both in good hands!"
"Whose?" Weiss asked
"Nora's" Jaune said
the room went silent everyone looked to Nora, she was looking around and looked a little nervouse
"Jaune I-I don't think-"
"You are like a sister to me, Nora. Your a Valkyrie, your house has always been a friend of Arktown. So, until I return, the South is yours" Jaune said
"Jaune, can I speak to you in private!" Nora gritted through her teeth with a smile
they left the room and went to a nearby room to talk
"I can't do this! Jaune I Can't!" Nora cried
"why? Nora look you can do just fine" Jaune told her
Nora shook her head, "no I can't Jaune!"
"why nora?"
"because... I just lost the father of my child..."
