WEISS.

Weiss ran down the brightly lit hallways of beacon Academy running as fast as her legs would carry her. Blood caked in her clothes as it dried in the wind as she ran to the headmaster office. Running past the receptionist and into the elevator and UpTo the headmasters desk.
"Headmaster Jet's been seriously injured I called ahead to my team and his. He lost his arm headmaster we have to do something!" Weiss said frantically as she paced back and forth fidgeting with her hands and clothes.
"Calm down Ms Schnee everything is in good hands but I do have some grave news Jet Holiday as you have said lost his arm but as well as a leg to an unknown attacker." Ozpin said in a calm tone betraying how he truly felt.
"Where is he headmaster will he be ok?" Weiss asked the shock of everything not leaving her.
"Jet is in the infirmary receiving surgery to stop infection from taking hold in his wounds along with replacement limbs from Atlas everything will be fine Ms Schnee go to your dorm room and rest if you need to talk to someone about what has transpired we can set up something for you." Ozpin said with a calming tone as Weiss walked back to her dorm room to get cleaned up.
TEAM JNPR

Jaune sat on a chair in the infirmary looking to the right he saw Pyrrha with red eyes and tears stained checks. Looking to his left he saw Ren holding Nora who was despondent. The news hit the team hard yes jet was an asshole but he was their asshole and was getting better and trying to reach out but then this happened right after they left maybe if they tried to ask jet to come with and poor Weiss who saw all of it happen.
"Guys when he gets out of there let's do something to show that we care." Jaune said stealing his voice.
"Yeah Jet should know that someone cares I mean he's an ass but he bought me pancakes from a dinner he can't be that bad." Nora stated her voice muffled by Ren's clothes.
As they were talking dragons maw could be heard yelling at each other. the yelling being carried by the walls and the aquatics of the infirmary.
"It's terrible what happened I mean Jet has devoted his life to protecting the people of Anemia how could someone do this?" Pyrrha asked trying to block out the yelling.
"Most people don't see it that way and often feel like they have been slighted by others and take their aggression out on other people." Ren said his voice was melancholy.
"Doesn't make it right but all we can do is sit here and wait for the doctors to finish and let us know that jet will be ok and ready." Jaune said as he leaned back in his chair.

"Well we can't sit around and do nothing we have to find that bitch and fuckin kill her!" Heart yelled at Talon.
"I am not saying we do nothing but Jet needs us and we are going to stay out for the time being until he is able." Talon said seething with anger.
"We should hunt that hore down and rip her heart out and feed it to her not sit in some fancy pants school doing nothing about it Talon. She cut off Jets arm and leg we can't leave that unpunished damn it!" Heart stood up as well as Talon.
"I gave an order we stay and protect Jet and when Bishop gets here we hunt no sooner no later understand."
"Fuck you and your order!"
The yelling stopped as Talon sucker punched Heart causing him to fall to the ground.
"You will sit and you will shut up." Talon stated a cold look in his eyes.
Heart got up and sat down looking away from Talon.
Meanwhile Eyes was on the phone.
"Sir I have bad news." Eyes stated his tone even.
"Speak I'm getting everything ready so we can head to vale on the double." Bishop said in a rushed tone.
"Jet was injured while walking back to beacon with Weiss schnee he lost his arm and leg sir. He was found by Qrow and taken back to beacon post hast and rushed into the infirmary and he is now in surgery sir."
"This happened while you were guarding him what happened where were you!" Bishop yelled.
"Jet gave us the day off sir he was celebrating with his team. Reports are inconclusive on who did it but my suspicion is that it was Raven Branwen sir."
"Damn Alright thank you for the report I'll be there within the week with more men and more guns we are bringing halo with us in the meantime stand guard over jet and don't let anyone other than medical staff in that room can you do that or do I need to replace you." Bishop said as he hung up on the other side of the phone.
BISHOP
(/)
Bishop stood still for a long minute until he kicked a crate and stormed into his office. he walked down the halls of the H.C. the marble walls polished to a point they gave off a reflection the walls were tall leading to a very high roof on the other side of Bishop was reflective windows all along the hallway. Bishop walked past the tech wing filled with the latest tech for the H.C. Bishop looked down as he passed the Hall of Stone that being a place of honor for those that have fallen in combat or the family members of the holiday family.
Bishop made it to his office sitting at his desk he powered up his computer and set an email out to a group of people.
TEAM RWBY.

Ruby was running to the infirmary after receiving the message from Weiss they were worried even Blake was. As they past the headmaster tower they bumped into Weiss who looked like she just got done with a murder.
"Weiss what happened!" Ruby skidded to a stop as she exclaimed and her eyes wided.
"Jet he's in the infirmary with an arm and leg missing and is currently in surgery Ozpin told me to go to the dorms to rest but I can't not after...so much blood and his arm just fell off and it sprayed everywhere." Weiss's eyes looked hollow as she looked through Ruby.
Ruby held Weiss and walked her back to the dorm.
"What about jet?" Yang asked.
"Jet has his team we need to help Weiss they will understand but send them a message just to be safe." Ruby ordered.
Blake walked with them her heart pounding in her chest.
'What if they think I did it what would happen.!' Blake screamed in her head.
JET HOLIDAY.
(/)
Jet awoke on a green field of verdant grass and trees he looked around only to see that he was alone. He looked down and saw his right arm and left leg encased in a white light.
"Beautiful isn't?" a voice behind jet said.
Jet spun around so fast that he fell face first onto the grass trying to catch him self but couldn't. He looked up to see a man with his arm and leg the rest of his body was encased in the same light as on his body.
"Who are you and why do you have my leg and arm." Jet growled.
"Well let's get that second question answered you lost them and they now belong to me."
"Who are you damn it and how do they belong to you they are mine." jet growled out feeling intense pain flooding his body.
The being looked at Jet as he spasmed and flopped on the ground like a dying fish.
"Correction they used to be yours now they belong to me in the forever." the being gestured with jet's arm to the area that surrounded them.
"And for your question on who I am well let's just say that I am something you tried to kill off when you began you quest for revenge stupid child. I am your conscience your very being ha isn't that funny." The soul began to laugh at jet.
"Quite your laughing you fuckin maniac before I kill you!" Jet screamed as he reached for his pistol only for it not to be there.
"Why am I here what is going on." Jet despaired as he looked at the conscience.
"ho now stupid child shut up and listen I have something to say because I am tired of you not listening to me. The real Reason you are here is so you can see what happened what is happening and what will happen so shut it and flop like a fish while I talk or something." The conscience said as it kneeled down and sat next to jet and helped him sit up.
"First we look at the past."
"Why I know what happened it was shit the only saving grace was Laila." Jet said.
"Stupid boy there was good as well you just remember the bad because your stupid and it works for your narrative so shut up and listen."
"Let's start with the past your mother and father.."
"Mother was a druggie while my dad did his best to save the company and bring us back to a prominent position again next." Jet said then screamed in pain.
"Everytime you interupted I will flood your body with the pain of the surgery that is happening to you understand good now shut up."
"Your mother tried her best wanting to give you the world but all you saw was her addiction yes she was a druggie but none the less your mother." a visage of Jet's mom showed next to the soul she was nothing but skin and bones her hair shaved off leaving her bald her once beautiful face covered in sores her arms covered in track lines she looked dead.
"She ran and left the family for drugs I don't care what you say that woman is not part of my family." Jet said while panting for air.
"Yet when you took over the company you could have helped your dear mother save herself from a life of ruin and drug abuse."
"Your father the man who left a legion of bodies in his wake innocent or deserving it didn't matter if the council commanded him to kill he killed the man you idolize was nothing more than a murder." a visage of Jet's dad showed he stood tall with very masculine features broad-shoulders a wide chest average height ash black hair that was cut into a crew cut he looked strong for a dead man. Then the visage change to his headless body crumpled on the ground.
"He died the way every murder does beheaded by the enemy. He died alone with out anyone to hear his last words he died a coward." both of the visages of Jet's parents disappeared.
"Your sweet little sister so sickly that she can't even walk with out the help of crutches or a Cain the doctors say she won't live to be thirty but hopefully she will live a long and full life." the visage of just sister showed her bright smile lit up the area she looked like his mother beautiful brown curly hair beautiful facial features that of a model she wore glasses and was slightly leaning on her cain to assist her to stand.
"But in truth she will end up dying young in a hospital without anyone around her." the visage disappeared to show a mutilated faunus man with a white fang tattoo on his neck fingers missing his chest cut open and a bullet hole in his head.
"Your first kill a man fighting for what he believes is right the rights of the faunus people but you tortured him until he gave you what you wanted then killed him honestly Jet your just as bad as you dear dead dad." The conscience snikered.
the visage disappeared to show roughly 30 burning body's the smell of burnt hair and flesh filled the air and jet for the first time looked away.
"Ah Ah Ah look at what you did jet these people had families waiting for them you know when the bodies were sent back to the menagerie they couldn't recognize them and had to bury them in a mass grave it's wonderful what napalm does to the body."
the scene changed again this time to the cell Jet and sigma squadron took out their bodies filled with bullet holes and burns. One thing made jet sick to his stomach was that there was a young teenager
"Ah yes the teenager died when your men threw in Molotov cocktails burned to a crisp the others you gunned down as they ran."
A single tear fell down jets face.
"They joined a terrorist organization bent on destroying humanity they have done far worse." Jet said as he glared at the conscience.
"So that is what you tell yourself to help you sleep at night well let's move onto the present now shall we?" The conscience said cynically
"Well let's see ah the red knifes a group of people who the council deemed as bandits but where people who simply tried to start a village without the council's permission and were slapped with false crimes. So what do you do you go in and bomb them to kingdom come seriously jet do you ever do your own research." The visage of body parts laid across the field pools of blood where bombs have dropped heads that were removed from bodies all looked at Jet.
"You killed us."
"Murder."
"You should be dead not us."
"Die in hell fire."
"Wow jet such a lovely crowd right." the conscience taunted jet.
Jet covered his left ear the voices still being heard.
"Shut up your not real your dead, You where bandits the local villages even had reports of you attacking them so shut up!" Jet yelled.
"Let's not forget the Branwen tribe that you sent Bishop to kill oh my he was thorough with it."
the visage of bombs being dropped and blood falling from the sky as tents went up in flames people running to grab weapons to defend themselves being gunned downed the lieutenants surrending and being executed some with grenades being shoved into their mouths other being shot so much that limbs fell off of the body. Heads rolled over to Jet.
"Kill us Jet you Killed us."
"I can't wait to see you in hell boy I'll make sure to have my way with you."
"They attacked first and killed Bishop's son they deserved everything they got and then some if you're going to try and make me change my ways then I won't stop yes I feel bad about having to kill these people except the Branwen's. The white fang are a murder cult that killed my father who worked to keep everyone safe, the bandits that you say where nothing more that settlers they killed and raped people for pure enjoyment, the Branwen's lived their lives by some stupid rule so if you think showing me this will stop me from enacting justice for crimes they have committed and just letting them do what they want then your dead wrong." Jet seethed venom as he spoke looking at his conscience with a hateful glare.
"And there is Weiss do you think she would love you if she knew what type of person you are I know for a fact your cold dead heart beats faster when she is around and the fact that you even think about her quite a lot but does she think the same for you, does she feel the same for you hmm."
"Why are you even here." Jet asked his glare ever present feeling everything that his conscience was telling him.
"So you can be a human again, you have forgotten what being alive was all about, You stopped being a kind boy who saw the good in everything, you stopped showing mercy to the beaten and you became something akin to a monster to people Jet. I wanted you to see what you have caused but I don't want you to stop, you hurt people but you help as well." Jet's conscience said his voice soft holding out jets right arm.
"So let's make a deal to work together from now on and not try to kill each other I'll help show you what mercy feels like and I'll help bring you back to the light while you still do everything you have to do, kill if you have to but show mercy when it's necessary, deal?"
Jet looked at his conscience with a quizzical look.
"Weren't you just yelling and torturing my mind?"
"Stupid boy I could never hurt you, hurting you means hurting myself but yes so let's leave that in the past and look to the future."
"What happens if I shake your hand do I cease to exist or what?" Jet asked his eyes narrowing his paranoia taking over.
"We merge into each other again you split us when you had your first kill when the faces became too much for you to handle."
"Will it hurt?" Jet asked wincing at how he sounded.
"Not at all well not me at least."
"Great." Jet deadpaned as he shook his consciences hand then reeled back as a bright light shined blinding him. He then grabbed his head as the faces of the men and women he killed directly or indirectly showed in his mind then it went blank.
Jet's eyes flutteres opened a bright light shined in his eyes as he made to move his right arm to block out the light but noticed nothing changed.
"Great my arm is still gone." Jet said his voice horse and croaky.
"Jet!" Talon exclaimed rushing to his bed side with a glass of water helping jet drink it.
"How long was I out?" Jet asked feeling refreshed but not better.
"Two days." Talon said helping Jet sit up.
"They gave you a prosthetic leg but the arm will take a while to get ready."
"ugh my head hurts and I feel like crap so let's get out of here and get something to eat." Jet said with a smile.
