Welcome back! Here the chapter of 'The beginning of the end' I promised.
"Hello brother, Hello Pyrrha ." Said an older Ren standing at a grave marker at a hill overlooking Beacon. "I hope you two are enjoy your afterlifes together. Sorry I didn't bring Nora with me today, she's busy clearing the emerald forest out of high rank grimm for the first years."
"How much time has pass since my-uh that me's death." Jaune ask.
"Please don't remind me. I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight." Pyrrha reply. She still see Jaune being ran through by that clawed in her mind, hell she barely contain a scream when they first saw that. Pyrrha unknowingly tighten her grip on Jaune's arm. Jaune feeling this look at her face notice it look trouble then he realized that scene from earlier is affecting her more than he thought. Jaune lower his head onto her shoulder to comfort her, Pyrrha visible relax after Jaune's simple but meaningful gesture.
"I don't have too much free time coming up this maybe the last time I'll be up here for some time." Ren sighed. "The school will need it's headmaster after all, it still doesn't feel right for me to have a position meant for another. Ozpin want you to take over his position, Jaune" Ren chuckled remembering the mission to save Ozpin from Cinder. "I recall the first time we fought Cinder to buy time for team rwby to rescue Ozpin and Nora scream on the top of her lungs 'YOU TOOK TEAM MOM AWAY FROM TEAM DAD!'"
All of team rwby look at Nora as if she has grown a second head while the rest jnpr shared a small laugh. "Nora out of anything you could have said why that?" Ruby ask.
"That's easy because she took team mom away from team dad, duh!" Nora said as it was the obvious thing in the world.
"Well...she's not wrong" Ren add.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Weiss said catching interest.
"Well Jaune and Pyrrha are so dad-friend and mom-friend. In that timeline that witch took team mom away from team dad silly." Nora explained.
"What Nora meanings that on our team as Nora puts it Jaune and Pyrrha are 'dad-friend and mom-friend'. It's like what Yang does for your team and then some. For us we need Jaune and Pyrrha when we formed team jnpr. Without Jaune we'll be more of distance and colder to each other or without Pyrrha we would seen Jaune more as a friend than a leader. To put it simply without one or the other we'll less than a team more like group or unit."
"That surprising make sense" Weiss with a little of understanding tone in her voice.
Ren chuckled "Then after we regroup with team rwby and Ozpin explain the maidens to us and what he planned to do to Pyrrha with the aura transfer. I still can't believe what you did; as Nora put it 'Lay him the fuck out' then you start yelling at him about well everything; Using us and Pyrrha as weapons to use however he saw fit, what he put Pyrrha through, what he put us through, his failure as an leader, how many lives were lost because of him."
"What the hell happened there?" Yang ask wondering what caused all of that.
Ren look at the rebuilt Beacon. "Everyone one still misses you two. Nora now and then has an episode about being alone it takes myself, Ruby or Blake to snap her out of it. Yang still can't believe everything that has happen. Blake has stop running from her problems and now pick up Jaune's stubbornness. Weiss is well more open with everyone now. Then there's Ruby unlike everyone else is still like her old self expect not caring about being a hero only about being the best huntress she can. It's a shame she never got the recognition of a hero but we all decided that the world can't learn of Salem and what almost happened, but the world needed a hero so we make you two into heros Pyrrha Nikos the guardian and Jaune Arc the paladin." Ren sigh. "The both of you don't deserve the hand that fate has given you both. You two deserve to be happy, none of this was supposed to happen." He look at his watch. "Damn, I need to go now a school can't run itself, goodbye." Ren follow up with a small bow and then left.
Just because you lost people you care for doesn't mean you can stop, you have to keep moving forward if not for yourself but for those around you and the ones you lost.
