'I'm going to die.' was the only thing going though Jaune's head as he lay in the dirt bleeding out. In the final battle against Salem the entire world fought there hardest against the seemingly endless forces of the Grimm, Team RWBY and all her allies had fought their way to Salem's palace and like any animal backed into a corner she lashed out violently by ordering all of the Grimm in the world to attack all human civilisation. While Jaune and his Team along with Ilia, and Qrow all fought what was left of Salem's inner circle (being Tyrian and Hazel), Cinder and Neo fought with Penny and surprisingly Raven who decided to step up for once. Team RWBY and Oscar, now fully powered, fought against Salem herself. All four relics were with Salem and team RWBY, the plan was to summon the Twin Gods back to Remnant and have them destroy Salem, the world had never been so united, everyone human and faunus alike were all fighting for their lives, hopefully the Gods would help them. Jaune and his team were fighting Hazel while they left Qrow and Ilia to try and deal with Tyrian. Jaune did the job of protecting his team while Both Ren and Nora were on the offensive.

Hazel was like a monster… every swing he made almost knocked Jaune off his feet and He knew if one of those hits made contact with Ren or Nora it would be devastating. Nora Managed to get a good hit in on the back of his leg forcing him to the ground While Ren pulled his arms back using the cables of stormflower. Jaune saw his opening and rushed in, his sword aimed for the throat. Just as Crocea Mors made contact with the flesh Hazel broke free from Ren's hold and connected his large fist with Jaune's chest just before his head was cleaved off. Jaune hit the ground and felt the Shield protecting his body shatter. He got up and saw the fight with Tyrian was a failing one. Ilia had a deep slash on her arm as well as cuts on her torso, she was forced to fight with her non-dominant hand, handicapping her, and Qrow was only barely keeping up with the pressure of the madman's relentless and violent hits, he already had blood gushing from his left eye. Jaune looked at the rough shape his own team was in and saw the grim start to enter their battle field as well. He ordered them to go and hold them back as best as possible while he charged to join the battle against Tyrian.

Jaune berroled into the madman's side sending him flying a good few feet, Qrow had to stand and catch his breath letting Jaune continue his attack not letting up on the pressure. He ducked under vicious slashes and jumped over wild stinger stabs doing his best not to be hit. But he knew he couldn't keep up this pressure for long as he had no Aura and was running on empty. Jaune managed to dodge a wild swing and block another with his shield but his legs where suddenly swept out from beneath him and the stinger was coming for his face, Jaune managed to roll out of the way but that was his mistake he felt the blinding pain as sharp steel dug into his back and he quickly tried to crawl away but then Tyrian aimed for his legs ripping chunk after chunk of flesh. Qrow pulled him off Jaune and the two continued their grudge match as Ren and Nora ran up to Jaune, then a loose attack from Penny and Cinder's battle threw him far away from the fight while also burning his lower body especially.

Jaune lay alone for hours fading in and out of conscious thinking about how much it sucked he was gonna die… but at least he would be able to see all his lost friends. The thought of seeing Pyrrha again gave him the courage he needed to accept the fact he was going to die. After another couple hours of excruciating pain and waking up and passing out again he felt a intense pain in his legs and then saw Weiss place her hand on his shoulder frantically telling him it was going to be okay, he looked at her and saw the blood on her face and noticed how beat up she looked. She was crying.

"Did we win?" he asked wearily

"Yeah we did, we won Jaune." she said holding his hand tightly

"Good, Did we lose anyone?"

"When Salem died Ozpin went with her, Qrow and Ren were injured and Penny is missing a few parts, and Ilia... Tyrian killed her." she told him

"no…" he says quietly

"Hey Weiss… am I gonna die?" he asks as his delusion starts again. Making him see things such as his sisters and parents… he wanted to see them all so badly… just one more time.

"No Jaune, you won't." she says softly averting his gaze.

"Oh, I want to go home. I want to make cupcakes with my mom and sisters again. I promise I will make enough for everyone, and then we can have fun like we used to." Jaune says slowly, losing consciousness.

"That would be wonderful, I can't wait." she says hoping the Bullhead will be here soon.

"Hey Weiss."

"Yes Jaune?"

"Thanks for lying." he says smiling and closing his eyes to Weiss's horror.

"JAUNE!? Jaune you have to stay awake!" she screams and starts to slap his face, she had used Myrtenaster and some fire dust to stop the bleeding earlier… but he had already lost so much blood. For the next half hour she was now joined by her friend's managed to keep him awake till the medical bullhead came and took him along with Qrow and Ren to the closest medical care facility. Nora had gone with them in the Bull head while the others waited for another aircraft to arrive, Weiss couldn't help but feel on edge knowing her friend might die.

Jaune woke up in the bull head again and suddenly, there he was laying in the bull head searing pain through his entire body. Jaune started to scream and thrash around knocking doctors who were working on his injuries away, and breaking medical equipment as he flailed his arms around desperately trying to make the pain stop. Nora came over and forcefully held him down the doctors finally managed to get him under again. Having gotten to one of the only working hospitals left they left Ren, and Qrow behind as Jaune needed the most pressing medical attention. They rushed him into emergency surgery attempting to save his life. Once again Jaune woke up during the surgery his mind again clouded with extraordinary pain his Aura freaked out attempting to heal him and all his injuries it was as if it was constantly breaking and renewing in an attempt to fix him. The doctors panicked and had to pump the max sedative they legally could into him and finally he was once again asleep for only god knows how long.

The next thing he knew, Jaune's eyes slowly fluttered open as he looked up into a bright light. His hands tried to raise up to his eyes to rub them but he found they were restrained. He quickly sat up seeing a person enter the strange room he was in and look incredibly surprised. The woman called for people and soon people were all around the confused man poking and prodding him and all sorts of things until he started to yell at them to get off him. He frantically looked around the room scared and trying to figure out what was going on then he saw a familiar face.

"Weiss!" he cried out as the medical staff started to move out of the way leaving only him, a nurse who was doing some tests and Weiss.

"Jaune." she says looking at him with a saddened expression before she bent over the bed and hugged him.

"What happened?" he asked

"In the final battle with Salem you got hurt."

"Figures… how bad?"

"Bad,"

"Weiss how bad?"

"You have damage to your spine, and you took some head damage from the explosion that left you in a coma for a month." she said before hesitating.

"What else?" Jaune said desperately trying to take in the fact he was asleep for a month.

"It's your legs." she says quietly.

"What about them?"

"Your left leg was mutilated beyond repair… so the doctors had to amputate it at the hip, and your right leg has permanent nerve damage so they had to take out some dead muscle in order to save your leg." she explains sadly.

On hearing the news time seemed to freeze for a moment and everything was quiet. Then he frantically broke his restraints and pulled away his blankets looking and seeing his left leg was gone all the way to the hip... and his right leg maimed and full of stitches and scars.On seeing his missing leg he felt a rush of emotions, he wanted to yell, scream, cry, get angry… but he couldn't.

"Jaune." he hears Weiss say softly. Jaune starts to feel a wetness on his cheeks as tears roll down his face but then he shakes his head and forces the tears to stop. They had betten Salem, so it was worth a lost leg… right?

"Are you okay?" she says taking a hold of his hand

"No, but i'll manage for now." he says as bravely as he can. She covers his leg again before explaining.

"They had to take your leg, it was badly maimed and you took a full powered blast from Cinder right to it. There wasn't much of your leg left anyway."

"What about my other leg, what did they do to it? I feel weird."

"You had serious nerve damage and some of the muscle in your leg had to be taken out. There is also damage to your spine so you'll probably always feel a little funny."

"What are my chances?"

"Chances of what?"

"To walk again." At that question Weiss bit her lip and hesitated to answer him. "Weiss, is there a possibility for me to walk again. If I got a prosthetic?"

"Maybe, but the doctors think the chance of you walking again is almost impossible." again Jaune lost his sense of reality for a second.

"Then what's the point?"

"Of what?"

"Of keeping my leg attached?" he says, getting angrier "Is it to taunt me!?" he yells

"No! It's… I don't know… for hope?"

"What's the point in hoping!? They don't believe I can walk again and yet they expect me to!?" he says yelling, then he starts to scream out curses directed at her in his frustration and lash out pulling wires and stuff from himself while hospitel security comes in and holds him down while the doctors sedate him.

Jaune wakes up again this time alone in a room full of machines. He looks at all the wires and stuff attached to him and angrily starts ripping it all off. He ignores that pain in his entire body and lays there trying to get a hold of reality. He lost a leg… no he lost two legs. The thought of that alone was enough to plunge him into a fit of rage. He picked up the closest thing to him and threw it as hard as he could pain searing through his body as he did. He continued to throw things breaking everything he could get his hands on and as he threw things tears of anger dropped from his cheeks as he yelled and screamed curses to the gods. Eventually doctors pour into his room and yell at him trying to calm him down only getting him more riled up. But then he moves the wrong way and something in his back clicks causing him more pain than he has ever experienced in his life and he passes out from the sheer shock.

Jaune wakes up finding himself once again strapped down and once again in intense pain. Jaune bites his lip and looks around the dark room for some kind of medicine. He notices a morphine button and goes to press it only to feel himself restrained to greatly to retrieve it. He wiggles trying to reach the button but in doing so he feels a shock of pain go though his body and he yells out in pain lashing back into his bed only to be met with more waves of pain that made his vision go blurry. The doctors rushed in and Jaune could hear screaming only to realize it was him who was yelling. The doctors once again pushed him down and injected some stronger sedatives into him getting him to calm down.

"Are you okay?" a doctor asked him

"What did you do to me, you son of a bitch." Jaune snarls as his body shivers with waves of pain.

"Nothing Mr, Arc. it would seem your not responding as well to the medication since you woke up. "

"Can't you fix it." he says before moaning as more pain rushes through his nervous system,

"We can give you a stronger medicine but it would seem since your Aura is so strong it sees the Painkillers as an invasion of your body and destroys them before they make the pain go away." the doctor explains.

"Then give me enough to make the pain go away." he says in desperation

"I doubt there is a dose strong enough that could completely get rid of the pain without killing you."

"Then let me die."

"I'm afraid your journey is not yet done." the doctor says before exiting the room. Jaune lays back and does the only thing he can do, he cries.

After crying Jaune thinks for a long time partially to help keep his pain to a minimum and secondly he thinks about how his life will be now. He thinks back to how he treated the doctors, he knows it's not their fault… but he couldn't help but get angry at them. Jaune continued to think of ways to apologise to the hospital staff but then suddenly he thinks of Weiss… he treated her badly too yelling at her for no reason. At least she had come to visit, he didn't see any of his team mates around. He could only feel ashamed of the way he had acted and treated everyone around him and he now knew he had to apologise. Suddenly the lights flicked on and a nurse entered looking a little weary.

"Mr, Arc?" she asks

"Yes?" he replies weakly

"Are you okay?"

"No, isn't there anything you can do to make my pain stop?" he asks

"I'm afraid all we can do is give you your usual dose of medication and hope it starts to take effect."

"That's not fair" he says sadly laying back and trying to fall asleep again while the nurse works on him taking tests and giving him his medication.
