it was early morning. Yang's army are camped outside the walls of Arktown. Bullheads and wardhogs enter the front gate. Sage, Flynt and Qrow are watching on as they walk.

"I hate to bring this up but it is a problem that we all can see. The Southerners are loyal to Jaune, not to Yang. They don't know her. The White-Fang don't know her. I've been up here a while, and I'm telling you, they're stubborn as Children. You want their loyalty, you have to earn it" Flynt said

Sage stops and thinks. He then catches up with Flynt and Qrow who continued to walk.

"I sense that you're leading to a proposal" Sage replied

Flynt nods and looks out over the castle wall.

"A proposal is what I'm proposing" Flynt replied "On the off chance that we survive the battel with the Hybrid Army, what if Vale, for once in it's whole shit history, were ruled by a just woman and an honorable man?" Flynt told them

Qrow and Sage walk forward to look over the wall with Flynt, they see Jaune and Yang standing and talking with each other.

"They do make a handsome couple" Sage said

"No, I don't remind them of an unpleasant truth" Qrow told them

"And what is that?" Flynt asked

"Nothing lasts" Qrow told them

Jaune and Yang walk together as men shout indistinctly in the background. Velvet walks up to Yang

"How many today?" Yang asked

"Only eighteen goats and eleven sheep" Velevet told her

Yang sighes and Jaune looks to her

"What's the matter?" Jaune asked

"The dragons are barely eating" Yang said

Yang walks off and Jaune follows her. Eventually Yang and Jaune walk up to Dia and Raven who are standing either side of a pile of bones. The dragons growl softly as they approach.

"What's wrong with them?" Jaune asked

"They don't like the Cold" Yang replied

She touches Raven's nose and Dia looks at Jaune and gets close, Yang climbs on Raven's back, smiling nods towards Dia.

"Go on, Ride her" Yang told Jaune

Jaune looks at the dragon, unsure what to do.

"I-I don't know how to ride a dragon Yang!" Jaune cried with a smile

"Nobody does. Until they ride a dragon" Yang chuckled

"What if she doesn't want me to?" Jaune asked

"Then I'm gonna miss you Jaune" Yang said with a smile

Defeated, Jaune walks around the side of Dia and then climbs on top while grunting. He manages to get on and steady himself.

"What do I hold onto?" Jaune asked Yang

"Whatever you can," Yang told him

Jaune grabs onto the Dia's horns, which Dia then proceeds to lift off. Yang watches and smiles, before leaning forwards, causing Raven to follow suit. The dragons continue to fly higher, Dia turns side-to-side causing Jaune to yell out, they flew over the soldiers outside Arktown and past Sage, Flynt, and Qrow who are standing at the castle wall, staring in disbelief as they watch. Raven flies ahead of Dia and continues higher before nosediving. Dia follows after her sister.

They continue calmly before reaching a canyon, where the dragons dive straight down, before flying along the canyon floor.

Once out of the canyon, Dia lands, so Yang instructs Raven to do the same. She lands down next to Jaune. Now dismounted from their dragons, the two walk together away from the dragons.

Jaune turns to Yang "You've completely ruined Motor-cycles for me" Jaune told her

Yang giggles and then notices a large waterfall in the canyon which flows beautifully into a stream, trees were covered in icicles and snow.

Yang turns to Jaune "We could stay here a thousand years. No one would find us" Yang told Jaune

"We'd be pretty old," Jaune told her with a smile

Yang chuckles and the two walk up to one another. Jaune wrapped his arm around Yang's waist.

"It's cold up here for a girl from patch" Jaune told her

"So keep your Queen warm," Yang told him

Jaune pulls her in and kisses her. The dragons start to growl softly causing Jaune to pull away. Yang looks to her Dragons and then back to Jaune.

"Don't be afraid" Yang giggled

They smile and continue their kiss in each other's embrace. Jaune opens his eyes to see Raven staring at them.

Oscar amongst some other people occupying the forge, using the furnaces to create weapons from Moonstone. Roman enters the forge

"Is Oscar here?" Roman asked

"He's here," said a woman pointing to Oscar

Oscar hears Roman and grabs a single-edged blade with a squared tip made from Moonstone. He hands it over to Roman.

"It isn't easy making a blade like that with Moonstone," Oscar told Roman

"You're saying you're good, is that it?" Roman asked

"I-I'm just saying it's a tricky material to-"

"I'm just fucking with you kid," Roman told him "Thanks a lot kid, really"

"no problem Mr. Torchwick" Oscar replied

Roman chuckled "Just Roman kid" and he left the forge

Oscar went back to work on the other things he was helping to forge. He was making a 2 new Scyth tips for Qrow and Ruby, plus Ruby's Raptor claw knife, a new hammer for Nora and a Similar Sword whip for Ilia, and double-edged spear for Sun.

"That was a nice sword you made for him" came a voice

Oscar was startled he jumped a little bit and turned to see a certain Rabbit faunas

"Thanks" Oscar replied to Velvet

Velvet walked up to him "would it be ok if I ask you to make me something?" Velvet asked

"Sure. What did you have in mind?" Oscar asked

Velvet hands Oscar a piece of paper with two claws on it that were similar to Fox's weapons, as well as a dagger that looked like Yatsuhashi's sword. The blade of each weapon would be made of Moonstone

"Can you make them?" Velvet asked

Oscar smiled "yeah, of course, no problem," Oscar told her

"Thank you Oscar," Velvet said and she kissed him on the cheek and walked away

Oscar melted into goo but quickly shook it off and went back to forging.

Oscar heads outside before being startled by a sword in his way. He stops and sees Joan staring at him. She puts away her sword and looks at Oscar

"What are you doing out here?" Oscar asked

"Waiting for you," Joan told him "I need you to do something for me Oscar"

Oscar followed her to her room where they sat down and Joan pulled out a small book

"This was my fathers Journal," Joan told Oscar "I read that Jonathan Arc married a woman named Dia Blackfyre"

"Are you sure?" Oscar asked

"Why do you ask?" Joan asked back

"The name..." Oscar began "I've heard it before"

Joan looked to him "is that something you could check? Ya know with your... Visions?" Sage asked

Oscar closed his eyes and that's when he saw them

.

Jonathan arc and Dia Blackfyre, they stood hand in hand together, getting married in secret

"No one killed her, He loved her and she loved him...Jonathan loved his lady Dia...And millions died because of it...And Jaune..."

Oscar looked back and saw the scene again

Dia whispers to Jonathan "His name is Rhaegar Blackfyre. If Anyone in Salem's council finds out, they'll kill 'em... you know they will...You have to protect...Promise me, Jonathan...Promise me..."

"He's never been a bastard...He's the heir to the Vale Throne"

Jaune blows out a candle and stands back to look at his father's painted glass monument. He sighs and hears a man grunting and a thud. He walks around the corner to see Oscar and Joan.

"Joan? Oscar? What are you doing?" Jaune asked

"I'm sorry, I know I'm not supposed to be down here, but she dragged me with her" Oscar told him

"Were you hiding from me?" Jaune asked them

"Yes/No" they both said

"What's wrong?" Jaune asked

Joan looked to Oscar and nodded

"Jaune, I had Oscar use his Semblance or power or whatever it is to follow father the day he went to rescue those Huntsmen in Vacuo," Joan told him

"It turns out that I had already seen your mother before when Ruby's mom gave me her semblance," Oscar told him

"What are you talking about?" Jaune asked

"It turns out your mother and our father were married in secret," Joan told him

"Can we talk about this later, right now we need to end this war" Jaune told them

"But we need to! This is about the Vale Throne. And about being a ruler" Joan told him

"I gave up my crown. I'm not King in the South anymore" Jaune told them

"I'm not talking about the King in the South. I'm talking about the King of Vale!" Joan cried

Jaune stops immediately, pauses and turns around.

"Oscar and I worked it out. I told him about your mother's name and he told me he had heard that name from Ozpin and that Summer woman. He then remembered the first vision he had, which was Father talking to Dia Blackfyre, a member of the Royal family who ruled Vale" Joan told him "You've never been a bastard. Your real name is Rhaegar Blackfyre, the true heir to the Vale Throne. I'm sorry, I know it's a lot to take in" Oscar told him "You're the true king. Rhaegar Blackfyre, first of His Name, Protector of Vale, all of it"

Jaune takes a couple of steps back whilst breathing heavily. He looks back to them

"Yang is our Queen" Jaune told them

"She shouldn't be," Joan told him

"That's treason," Jaune sternly told her

"But It's the truth! You gave up your crown to save your people. Would she do the same?" Joan asked

meanwhile, a cloaked figure rides a motor-cycle. The cloaked figure rides the horse up to the stable and dismounts as men around shout indistinctly. She removes her hood and Neo's face is revealed. She sighs and look's around the courtyard before Whitley catches her eye. Neo stares at him in disbelief...

Mercury and Sienna with a group of others walk into one of the damaged castles to find it deserted. Sienna walks in first. Suddenly everyone screams as they find Nora and Ilia and others

Ilia pulled out her Moonstone Dagger "Stay back, she's got red eyes!" Ilia cried

"I've always had Red eyes!" Sienna cried back

Everyone pauses and lowers their weapons.

"Did you find anyone?" Mercury asked

Ilia and Nora lead Mercury and Sienna through a large hall, faintly illuminated by some unbroken lights. When they reach the far wall there is a man impaled on the wall.

Nora gasped "that's Lord Caboose" she cried

"It's a message. From The Dark Brother" Sienna told them

"His army's between us and Corktown. We're on foot" Mercury sided

"No, we took Bullheads here. So we'll get there before the dead" Ilia told them

"Let's just hope The Dark Brother doesn't come fir-"

Caboose starts shrieking, the four backed up, Nora shoves her own Moonsteel dagger in the body, killing the corpse. The shrieking stops.
