Waves are crashing against rocks and washing over the beach. A bullhead lands on the ports of Beacon. Jaune, Flynt, and Weiss are walking onto the beach towards Sage, Arslan, and Qrow
Qrow smiled as Jaune stood in front of him "The bastard of Arktown"
"The Druken Crow" Jaune replied
Jaune and Qrow both stare at each for a moment, then break into a smile. They step forward and shake hands.
"The last time I saw you was when the battle started right here," Qrow told Jaune
Jaune nodded "yeah it was. You picked up some scars along the road"
Qrow nodded "and so did you"
Jaune nodded and the three people shook hands and hugged. and they walked their way up to Beacon. Jaune saw the new watchtowers and the courtyard. he looked to see that there was now a town down to the west of beacon, as well as one on the beach. he also saw the new monuments being built. there was only the old Statue of the two heroes of Remnant.
"This place has changed" Jaune sighed
Qrow chuckled and looked back at Jaune
"you have no Idea"
there was a roar and a gust of wind, Jaune, Flynt, and Weiss ducked to the ground. that's when two dragons flying in the sky, one had gold scales underneath while white on the back but the second one had Lavander pattern on it. the three of them looked in amazement
"I'd say you get used to them, but you never really do," Sage told them as he walked past them "Come on, Their mother is waiting for you"
Jaune entered the room with Flynt, Qrow and Sage entered along-side them. Inside Yang sat with Arslan to her left. Yang had her hair in a ponytail and wore a dress it had a black outside and the sides of the dress showed her thighs which were covered by white fabric. she turned to him and she smiled.
"Jaune," she said to him
"Yang" Jaune said
Yang speed-walked to him and hugged him tightly. Jaune did the same. Qrow grumbled and the two stopped hugging
"I think we have some business to talk about," Qrow said
the returned to their positions and began to talk.
"so what are you here for Kid?" Qrow asked
"Because right now, Me, Yang, Salem, everyone else, we're children playing at a game screaming that the rules aren't fair" Jaune began "Yang, everyone we know will die before winter is over if we don't defeat the real Enemy"
"Real Enemy? and who would that be?" Qrow asked
"the Dark brother and his army"
"He's gone, kid"
"No, I've seen him, outside of the wall in Menagerie. A woman from Vert had also seen them in the country. he has an army of Grimmified humans and Faunas" Jaune cried "You'll be ruling over a graveyard if we don't defeat them" Jaune turned to Yang
Qrow stepped a bit closer to Jaune
"The war against Salem has already begun. You can't expect us not to fight her and join you in fighting whatever you saw beyond the wall and in Vert"
Flynt grew a bit angry "You don't believe him. I understand that. It sounds like batshit nonsense" Flynt cried "But if destiny has brought Yang Xiao-Long back to our shores, it has also made Jaune Arc King in Ark Town. You were the first to bring Dragons into the world. He was the first to make allies with Faunas and Humans. He was named Lord Commander of the Blue Fang. He was named King in Arktown. Not because of his birthright. He has no birthright. He's a damn bastard! All those hard sons of bitches chose him as their leader because they believe in him!"
Yang looks back at Jaune with a smile, Jaune, however, looks a bit of ashamed
"All those things you don't believe in, he faced those things. He fought those things for the good of his people. He risked his life for his people. He took a knife in the heart for his people. He gave his own-!"
But before Flynt could finish Jaune looked at him to stop. Yang looked to Sage who just looks as confused,
Flynt then sighed "If we don't put aside our enmities and band together we will die. And then it doesn't matter whose skeleton sits on any Throne" Flynt told them
"If it doesn't matter you might as well kneel," Sage told them
"no, he doesn't have to kneel," Yang said walking to Jaune "I believe you Jaune, not because I've seen them with my own eyes, but because I know you would never lie to me..." She told him "but tell everyone else to come back here to vale, I'm sure we'll all be happy to see each other again" Yang chuckled
"Yeah, I'll give them a call...But we need to talk about another important matter" Jaune said looking serious at her.
Yang and Weiss are walking along a path outside of Beacon followed by members of the Queensguard. they talked like they use to back then.
"so, you're not worried about Neptune?" Yang asked
Weiss shook her head, "no, He's found me once, He'll find me again" Weiss told her
Yang smiled. "you must be so lucky to find someone you love. I still haven't found the right guy" Yang said
Weiss looked at her with a bit of annoyance, "well your not the only one..."
"what do you mean?"
"I mean Jaune... he had to kill Blake," Weiss told Yang
Weiss looked to see if yang had become angry but her eyes didn't change color. she just looked saddened.
"Jaune told me what he had to do... and I told him about Pyrrha. We understood what we did and what we did what needed to be done, even if we hated what we did. war changes people. some become strong. some become weak. while some lose themselves" Yang finished
Weiss was surprised when she heard about what the two had talked about. she was amazed that yang had changed this much in a couple of months. they kept walking down the path. as they later walked to where the cliffs of beacon were they found some Arc soldiers getting ready to mine the Moonstone, why Ozpin had built Beacon on the biggest Meteor that fell from the sky, she'll never know. Jaune then appears at the bottom of the path. he was walking and talking with Flynt and a soldier. he seemed to like it was beaming with joy. he glanced up and then looked to see the two.
"Yang! Weiss!" he yelled at them and ran up to them.
"I think you should it before we start hacking into it," Jaune told her
"see what?" Yang asked
Jaune leads Yang and Weiss into the cave. He grabs a Flashlight and leads them to the cave. He continues walking deeper into the cave with Yang while Flynt leads Weiss. Jaune shined the light on the fragments of the Moonstone on the walls. they shined but it was like something inside them was glowing. and that's when they saw it. It was a huge rock, the size of almost Beacon itself. but it shined too. shined like the sun in the sky. and it shines like the hope in her sister's eyes. and in his.
"So this is it, all we'll ever need," Jaune said with amazement.
Yang is looking up at the walls of Moonstone.
"all this to kill hybrids," Yang said
"yep," Jaune said popping the P
Yang looked to him "I will fight for you. when the time comes. always" Yang said
Jaune nodded "however, My people won't accept a Northern ruler, not after everything they've suffered" Jaune began
Yang steps even closer to Jaune until they're face to face.
"They will if their king does. They chose you to lead them. They chose you to protect them. Isn't their survival more important than your pride?" Yang asked
Jaune looked at her. 'It looks like the tables have turned, huh? Adam?' Jaune thought to himself
Jaune and Yang, Weiss and Flynt are walking out of the cave. As they exit Sage and Qrow are standing on the beach awaiting them.
"What is it?" Yang asked
"We took the southern beaches and bases including Jamestown," Sage said
"That's very good to hear" Yang smiled
she looked to Jaune and he nodded, she looked back to the two in front of her.
then Sage and Qrow look at each other.
"Isn't it?" Yang asked
The group are all walking along the beach of Beacon, and Yang has become furious
"You'll want to discuss this amongst yourselves. Perhaps-" Flynt Began
"You will stay. Now, most of my weaponry is gone as well as my food supplies and the last of my mother's tribe is gone! They've been taken from me while I've been sitting here on this island!" Yang yelled
"We still have the largest army!" Qrow asked
"Who won't be able to eat because Salem has taken all the food from them!" Yang yelled back
"Call Neptune and the rest back. We still have enough ships to carry the rest to the mainland. Commit to the blockade. We have a plan. It's still the right plan" Sage told her
Yang stops walking, turns to Sage and Qrow
"The right plan? bullshit!" Yang yelled
Yang begins looking out to the ocean. Three dragons are flying in the sky over the water.
"Enough with the clever plans. I have three large dragons. I'm going to fly them and kill Salem" Yang told them
"Firecracker, We've talked this" Qrow told her
Yang's eyes finally turned red, and she looked to Qrow "My enemies are in Vale. What kind of a Queen am I if I'm not willing to risk my life to fight them?" Yang asked
"A smart one" Qrow replied
Yang looks over to Jaune, she walks up to him and looks at him in the face
"What do you think I should do?" She asked him
Jaune looked at her "Yang I-"
"I'm at war. And now I'm losing! I need your help" Yang told him "What do you think I should do?"
Jaune sighed and looked to the three dragons flying over the sky
"I never thought that dragons would exist. No one did. The people who follow you, they know that you made something impossible happen. Maybe that helps them believe that you can make other impossible things happen. Build a world that's different from the shit one they've always known" he told her looking back at the dragons "But if you use them to melt building and burn cities, you're no different. You're just more of the same as Salem..." Jaune said with a sigh
Yang looked at her dragons and looked back at Jaune "your right..." Yang said
