"This time it will be a scene it will be different from the rest" Character commented.

"Different in what way?" Weiss asked.

"You better find out for yourself" Character points to the screen.

The scene shows to show Jaune looking at the night sky, he was wearing the Pumpkin Pete sweatshirt, you could also see a black tie tied on his right arm, his skin was paler almost white, his blonde hair had white spots, the hair and the bow moved in the wind.

"It's me again" Jaune commented surprised.

"You also look very different" Pyrrha said.

"That's because Jaune is a faunus" Character commented.

"That's great!" Nora yelled, Most of them were surprised, everyone took a look at the Jaune and then looked at the screen to see the Jaune faun, his appearance changes a lot.

"Whoa ... I always wondered how I would look if I were a faunus" Jaune commented in amazement.

"The laughter of the past" the camera is enlarged to show Jaune without the lasso, next to Jaune was Blake, she had paler skin and had white spots in her hair, both were walking along the flower path while having fun .

"that's me?" Blake commented surprised by the appearance of her counterpart.

"What happened to Blake's ears?" Yang asked.

"In this world he is a different type of Faun" Character explained.

"what type?" Blake asked.

"special one" Character said while glancing at Jaune and Blake.

"They're beautiful like you" the scene changes showing a snowy place, in a small tent was Jaune with his eyes closed, which was leaning his head against his arm.

"The beauty unsurpassed" Jaune opens one eye to watch Blake brush off the dust that fell on her suit from the snowfall.

"Wait Arc is singing?" Weiss asked incredulously.

"Jaune can you sing?" Ruby asked in amazement.

"Uh ... yes I guess" Jaune said nervously.

"not bad huh?" Yang asked as he lightly tapped Blake raising his eyebrows, Blake said nothing but just kept watching the screen.

"Gone with a whisper", Blake turns his back on Jaune and then disappears.

"You fall asleep like death" Blake bow fell into the snow.

"what does that mean?" Ruby asked confused.

"Man, I don't like where this is going," Sun muttered.

"Breaking through the earth", scene shows to see Jaune hand holding the lasso, Jaune tightened the lasso and carried it next to her chest while looking at the sky.

"Your smile shines again", Jaune had a memory of Blake beautiful smile, when the memory ended a tear from Jaune fell in the snow.

Students began to feel sad, as did some adults when they understood where the song was headed.

"This sucks" Qrow commented as he took a drink.

"What was Blake for vomit boy?" Yang asked curiously, Jaune moaned annoyed at his nickname as Pyrrha patted him on the back.

"Jaune is Blake older brother" Character commented.

Most surprised at this aspect, especially Blake.

The words CLOSE TO YOU are displayed on the screen as the location changes from a snowy biome to the judgment room.

"Close to you?" Winter released.

"So that's what the song wants to convey" Ozpin nodded.

"I like the tune," Summer said, several nodded in agreement.

"My empty gratitude" the scene changes to show Blake and Emerald chatting.

Emerald was surprised to see her counterpart on the screen "so this time I show up", Emerald muttered.

"If you already ruined the show" Mercury laughed getting hit in the head by Emerald, Mercury groaned, but did nothing.

"Another empty thank you" the scene shows Blake and Emerald hugging each other, then there was a blink and Emerald is seen grinning maniacally holding a knife, Blake doesn't realize this.

Most were surprised to see the scene, some even rubbed their eyes to see if they had not hallucinated.

"Did you guys see it?" Oscar said, some just nodded in silence

"I finally learnt regret" the scene changes to show Jaune leaning against a tree as he watches the scene.

"From words I've always said" Jaune narrowed his eyes at Emerald, but when nothing happened, he sighed and closed his eyes.

"Never meant to speak to hurt" the scene changes to show Blake leaning against a tree reading a book.

"I guess your reading habits go in all the universes" Yang joked

"Yet it hurts to put in words" The camera widens to Jaune watching Blake with a smile as he scratches his head.

"Goodbye wherever you are" the scene changes to show Blake say goodbye as he walked away from Jaune.

"Goodbye unbroken heart", Jaune watches Blake disappear, Jaune looks down at the ground when Blake soul breaks into several pieces, Jaune was wearing the bow on his arm.

"This is sad" Summer commented when some tears appeared on her face.

"what happened to me?" Blake asked.

"Dead", Character said simply making several shudder at the tone.

"I see", Blake muttered as he turned to look at Jaune.

Jaune lips were pursed, staring at the screen, though you could see that she had a clenched fist.

"In truth I want to feel" the scene shows Jaune with his eyes closed while imagining Blake death, Jaune eyes snapped open, Jaune left eye changed to cyan when he started burning.

"The truth i want to see" the scene shows Jaune reaching out to where Blake was with open arms, in front of Blake was Emerald with a knife with her red eyes shining maliciously.

"I'm trying to embrace your drifting heart and SMILE!" The scene shows running towards them, when Jaune hugged Blake from the back she disintegrated.

Several were shocked to see Blake literally disintegrate into powder, except for Raven, Vernal, Cinder, Mercury, although they also seemed amazed by the scene.

"This is getting dramatic", Mercury commented, causing several to glare at him.

"Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears" Jaune is shown in shock with his arm stretched as Blake bow dangled from his forearm.

"Overflowing from my eyes" Jaune started to laugh as he drew his arm to hold his face with Blake lasso, tears running down Jaune face without stopping.

The students' hearts skipped a beat when they saw their friend crying, the adults had a sad and friendly look, Taiyang and Qrow especially knowing how it feels to lose someone special to them.

"I keep on looking forward at you hoping that your light will never pass me by" Jaune is shown tying the tie on his right arm, Jaune frowns as he begins to walk through the snow.

"I wonder what the stars that sparkle in your eyes are hiding from my mind" the scene changes to show a memory of Jaune, where Jaune and Blake watched the stars.

"Hiding from my open heart and ..." the scene changes to show Jaune floating in the void holding his white soul with a golden outline, he was with his eyes closed and a smile "... from your hoping heart" the scene changes to show Blake floating in the void holding her white soul with a purple outline, she was with her eyes closed and with a smile.

"That was a backwards heart?" Weiss asked.

"no" Character replied capturing everyone's attention "it has the shape of a heart, but that was this soul" Character explained, everyone was surprised by the revelation.

"So this is what a soul looks like?" James asked curiously.

"Well at least it's that universe if" Character replied.

"interesting" Ozpin commented.

"Together, you and I will always ..." the scene changes to a snowy place where it was daytime and Jaune was shown looking over his shoulder at Blake with a calm smile, Blake watched Jaune over her shoulder with a cheerful smile "... be alive ..." there was a blink to show Jaune and Blake sitting leaning back to back with the black bow attached to their right forearms, "... connected close to you i'll stay", The place changed when it got dark , Emerald replaced Blake and was looking over her shoulder at Jaune with her red eye glowing dangerously, Jaune didn't even bother to see her, but he was frowning with a tight smile and his left eye was cyan.

"I have a bad feeling about this" Qrow commented.

Taiyang turned to see Qrow "What makes you think that?" he asked.

Qrow didn't reply, just took another drink from his flask.

"As long as i can hold your hand again and again forever I will find my way" the scene changes to show Blake grabbing Jaune over his man, they were both walking in the snow while talking.

"You may never answer back my call but ..." the scene changes to see Jaune with a sad smile reaching out for something "... you smile back at me with grace" the scene changes to show Blake waving with a happy smile .

"Aww they both look cute" Yang teased, making Blake blush slightly.

"Yang stop it" Blake growled.

"And everything remains the same this pain I'll soon awake from" the scene changes to show Jaune on top of a snowy mountain watching the stars, Jaune turns to walk away from the place with a sad smile.

"What i see will melt all away ..." the scene shows Jaune still walking away with a frown making her smile get too tight "... With my tears" a tear falls down Jaune eye into the snow.

Most of them did not know what to think, the song was really nice and gave the feeling of sadness, Ruby had tears in her eyes while Yang comforted her.

Pyrrha had grabbed Jaune arm surprising him, Jaune nodded with a smile to reassure her.

Blake was making an effort not to drop her tears, Nora usually always had something to comment on, but this time she just looked at the screen without saying anything

"A shape of broken line" the scene changes to show Jaune standing in front of Emerald as the snow fell on them.

"Will never be the same" Jaune stretches out his hand as Emerald shakes it.

"It'll never find new life ..." the camera shows Emerald giving a happy smile "... as a body of remain" the scene changes to show Emerald tied up in the void showing her soul red.

"What is that?" Oscar asked, but no one knew the answer, although they knew it was not a good thing.

"A soul without a from ..." the scene changes to observe Emerald trying not to leave the ball in her head while Blake and Jaune watched from a distance "... endlessly it'll chase" the scene changes to show Emerald open her eyes, showing the malicious glow coming out of them.

"That can't be good" Neptune commented.

"But will my broken heart" the scene changes to show Jaune in the judgment room watching Emerald enter.

"Find another place" Emerald looked directly into Jaune eyes as she started to smile.

"In truth i want to feel" Emerald pulled out her knife as she prepared for combat.

"The truth i'll never see" Jaune shrugged as he closed his eyes before sighing.

"It is definitely not good" Sun commented.

"Are they going to fight?" Ruby said surprised turning to see Emerald and then turning to see Jaune "Why?" Ruby asked.

"Jaune was waiting for Emerald in the courtroom so that he could take revenge on all the friends she murdered and make her pay for her sins", Character explained.

"I'm trying to erase how far we've walked in MILES!" Jaune snapped his eyes open to glare at his showing the flames in his left eye then smiled bitterly at his, Jaune raising his left arm, making five Draconic skulls appeared behind Jaune.

Most were shocked by what Jaune just did, some were more interested than shocked, even Jaune himself was wide-eyed in surprise.

"It's great" Nora and Ruby screamed with stars in their eyes.

"So, Mr. Arc can summon those skulls?" Ozpin asked curiously.

"Yes" Character replied "Jaune can use powerful magic, Jaune can be said to be one of the most difficult opponents to defeat"

Ozpin, Cinder and Raven were interested in power, Ozpin circle was curious about the kind of magic that the Jaune faunus could use.

"Jauney why not, you told us you could use magic" Nora shouted shaking Jaune.

"Nora, if Jaune could do that we would already have known" Ren tried to reassure her receiving a gesture of thanks from Jaune.

"Whenever i begin to feel ..." Jaune under his arm pointing at Emerald, the Draconics behind Jaune shot a beam of light from his mouth "... the burning tears as i look up at the sky" Emerald dodged the attacks, Emerald leaped to cut Jaune in two, but Jaune easily dodged it, Emerald hit the ground causing dust.

"Man, that was amazing" Sun commented excitedly

"Yes it was" Yang replied just as impressed.

Jaune blushed at the flattery towards her counterpart, although he couldn't do what his counterpart could, he had to admit it was impressive.

"I keep on looking forward at it hoping that" Emerald came out of the dust trying to hit Jaune from behind again, but Jaune dodged him and used his telekinesis to stop her, Emerald soul turns blue, when Jaune draws him in and stops her in front of his face.

Most shuddered to see the withering gaze with the bitter smile that Jaune faun shot at the other Emerald.

"Why is my eye shining?" Jaune asked.

"It is from the use of your magic" Character replied "it makes you look more intimidating"

"I'll find you soon enough in time" Emerald smile faded when she was dragged to hit her back against the wall, Bones came out of the wall going through various parts of her body killing her.

Most were shocked to see Emerald's death, even Jaune himself was shocked to see someone ruthlessly killed.

"I wonder if the stars that sparkle in my eye will eventually subside" the scene shows Emerald reappearing at the save point while smiling at Jaune.

"how?" Weiss asked in shock.

"Jaune is not the only one with powers" Character explained "No matter how many times Emerald dies, as long as she remains determined she will revive each time she is killed"

"That's unfair" Ruby complained.

"Life is unfair", Character shrugged

"Why you ..." Yang eyes turned red, she was going to get up, but Qrow stopped her.

"He is right, life will not always be as we want" Qrow said "there will be times when they will have to make difficult decisions", he explained.

That made the audit go silent, making the students think about the words they were told.

"Hiding from my endless heartbeat ..." Emerald cleared at high speed giving Jaune multiple attacks at inhuman speed, but Jaune dodges them with great ease "... from my endless heartbeat" the scene shows Jaune using his telekinesis on Emerald, Jaune moved his right arm from top to bottom, left to right as sweat ran down his forehead as he grimaced.

"It's fast" Sun commented surprised.

"Jaune reaction time is too" Blake commented

"Together you and i will always be alive" Emerald Reappears at her save point, Emerald who frowned at Jaune, sweat running down Jaune forehead and his smile faltering as he shrugged.

"Apparently he's getting tired" Cinder commented with a smile.

"Jaune may have powerful magic, but her stamina is not very good," Character commented.

"Too bad" Raven said, while Vernal nodded.

"Committed close to you i'll stay" the scene changes to show Jaune sitting in the void clutching his head, the black bow was attached to Jaune arm, but the black bow was also surrounding an amount of dust.

Most understood the meaning of the small scene making them feel sad

"As long as I can hold ..." the scene changes to show the fight at the trial, Jaune raised his arm making a lot of bones appear on the ground "... your hand again and again ..." Emerald jumped high to avoid them, but a bone that was thrown at her pierced her heart killing her "... then maybe I will find the way" Emerald fell to the ground without moving.

"I can never travel back in time but they smile back to me those days" Jaune spared herself remembering all the good times Jaune and Emerald had before entering their genocidal route.

"If he can't beat her, then why does he keep fighting?" Roman asked, hoping it's not the typical hero answer who wants to end the villain.

"This Jaune knows very well the power of Emerald keeper, but since he no longer has someone to follow his life, then he satisfies himself by killing her over and over again" Character explained.

"But if he keeps fighting then ..." Blake stopped to watch the screen knowing full well what would happen.

"And everything remains the same this pain I'll soon awake from" Jaune walks over to Emerald body and lifts her up holding her in his arms.

"What i see will melt all away" Jaune continues to carry Emerald body as he begins to walk, behind Jaune you can see all of Emerald corpses piled on top of each other, "With my tears" a tear falls from Jaune eye .

Roman whistled "he has his own collection" he chuckled, Emerald just glared at the thief.

"Replaying time again" the camera changes to show Jaune in a vacuum "Replaying time again" Jaune begins to remember all the good times with a big smile on his face.

"Repeating time again" Jaune remembers all the bad times by frowning "Repeating time again" Jaune smile turns sour and his right eye begins to blink cyan.

"Reflected in my heart", Jaune white soul appears before him, Jaune holds his soul in his hands "Reflected in my heart", Jaune eyes are shadowed.

"Your never ending LAUGHTER!" Jaune covers his ears trying to silence the sounds around his.

Most of them had a worried look at the blonde.

The screen darkens when Jaune softly utters a word "Blake".

Blake heart skipped a beat when called on the screen.

"Whenever i begin to feel the burning tears" Jaune closes his eyes accepting what is coming, Emerald launched an attack towards Jaune chest.

"JAUNE" the bright side screamed in concern.

*HIT*

Jaune gasped in pain at the large cut to his chest, Jaune watched in shock as the wound ran from his right shoulder to stop at his waist.

"No, Jaune." Pyrrha covered her mouth with her hand in shock, Jaune patted his on the back, but held the cup holder tight.

Nora was hugging Juane while she was crying, Ren was trying to reassure her, but he had ruined the cup holder so hard he did.

Blake and Weiss had tears in their eyes as they stared at the screen of their seriously injured friend helplessly.

Yang was comforting Ruby, who was tightly hugging Yang as she cried, Yang eyes had turned red as she clenched her teeth tightly.

The adults grimaced at the sight of the great wound on Fauno Jaune body

"Can you feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes?" Jaune spat out blood and touched his wound feeling the blood drain from his faunus body, Jaune looked Emerald in the eye and gave his a tired smile, Jaune winced at pain and clench teeth.

"I keep on looking forward at you hoping that in time your light will pass me by", Emerald begins to laugh maniacally, after dying so many times she had succeeded.

"She's crazy," Sun commented, frowning.

"Yes it is" Neptune agreed, Oscar also nodded.

Oscar, Sun and Neptune turned to see Emerald sneakily, who seemed indifferent, making them frown and see the screen again.

"Now i know the stars that sparkle in your eyes are guiding me to light" the scene changes to show the night sky with a blue flower planted on the ground, dust flying through the sky.

"Guiding to my open heart and ..." the scene changes to show Jaune holding his chapped soul with a tired smile, Jaune locks his hand in trapping his soul "... to your open heart" Blake took Jaune position showing her soul between your arms.

"the scenes are quite sentimental" Ozpin commented, James and Glynda agreed in agreement.

"Together you and I will always ..." the scene changes to show the battle ends the trial, Jaune said goodbye to Emerald with his tired smile and with the other arm he was holding his wound "... be alive ..." the scene changes to show the bond Blake around two amounts of dust "... connected close to you i'll stay" the scene changes to show Jaune still walking away, Emerald stops looking over her shoulder to go to the throne.

"Time will never hold my tears or hold my hand my feels down they pour like silent rain" Jaune continues to walk away more and more tired, Jaune vision began to fade, Jaune stops to look up at the ceiling with her sad smile.

"All the colors forming back the life i knew when all remained the same" the scene changes to show Jaune floating in a vacuum, Blake lasso was floating around him, Jaune held his soul that was beginning to crack in various places against his chest.

Nobody knew what to say most of the audience are sad about the scene that was happening, Even Neo held up a poster in which a sad face was drawn.

"Somehow in a finite time this time ..." the scene changes to show Blake back "... i'll find my way out" the scene changes to show Jaune back.

"And i see i barely reached you" Jaune stretches his arm towards the light trying to reach it, Jaune body began to fade.

"And your heart" Jaune can no longer support his body and falls to the ground, his outstretched arm completely disintegrating.

Jaune tried to get up, but to no avail "I'm sorry Blake" Jaune started talking "I failed everyone" Jaune took his last breath when it completely disintegrated, nothing was left of Jaune body just his Pumpkin Pete Hoodie and Blake Tie, the screen darkened.

Most were shocked to see their friend disintegrate just like Blake.

Blake ears flattened on her head as tears fell down her eyes, Jaune looked at Blake and patted her on the back to reassure her with her silent thanks.

"What happened?" Oscar was the one who broke the silence.

"In this world when a faunus soul breaks, this body disintegrates" Character explained.

Those who paid attention were shocked by the revelation, the others were calming their friends and others were crying, although there were people who were indifferent.

"well let them calm down" Character said "so see you next time"
