The group of seven teens eagerly watched the screen as it faded from the last scene and to another. The screen going black before continuing off where it left the group on a cliff hanger.
*Jaune teleported back on top of the village's headmaster head mountain. He appearing on top of his own and looking at the new situation. In the distance he could see the Kyuubi being attacked and held by red energy chains. He knowing it's his wife Pyrrha using her Aura Chains is about to go over and help her when all of the sudden the large Grimm goes to unleash its devastating attack once more. It facing its snout up and opening its mouth wide. The large purple ball of energy forming above him and it steadily growing in size. The older Arc curses and thinks 'Its going to attack Vale again, but this time Pyrrha is in the way. I don't have much Aura left so I'll have to teleport the Kyuubi away.' as he watches the beast. Jaune then disappears in a yellow flash and reappears next to Pyrrha. She having a Kunai of his in her pocket. The blonde than reaches out and touches the Kyuubi's leg where its armor doesn't reach. All three teleporting away from the village as in the distance it is seen that a large explosion envelopes the area they went to moments later. The camera pans to a smoldering wrecked house where debris and the Arc emblem are on the ground. The Kyuubi looking at the house and noticing the flash of yellow behind it where Jaune appears. One hand holding an orange bundle and the other around Pyrrha's waist.*
The teens gape at the fact that their friend had teleported that mountain sized monster away. They also noticing the fact that Jaune had teleported the Kyuubi to their house of all places, letting it destroy their home.
Xodia decides to explain by saying "Relax. That is just the Arc mansion behind the headmaster mountain. Jaune's family dies in the war with Salem so that place has been long since abandoned. In fact Jaune and Pyrrha live in an apartment complex in the city of Vale and were moving into the Mansion. Naruto of course being a baby stayed at the apartment. So this scene is saying that Jaune teleported to the mansion with Pyrrha and Kyuubi, then teleported away with Pyrrha and reappeared with her and Naruto with in the span of a minute to allow the Kyuubi to unleash its attack on the empty building." as he looks at the group.
RWBY and NPR all nod at the explanation and Pyrrha then asks "Why did he have to get Naruto?" as she was worried for her future son. The King of the Gods sighed sadly and said "You will see why in a moment." as he then turns his head back to the screen with the group following soon after.
*Pyrrha used her chains to subdue the Biju once again. She saying "Jaune I want you to use your seal semblance and seal the Kyuubi into me. That way when I die, I can bring the beast with me." as she looks at him and Jaune along with the group notice that there is a large wound in her side that is making her bleed out. The Arc boy gritted his teeth as he sensed that she was using her Aura to power her chains instead of her body. He saying "You don't need to do that Pyrrha. I can heal you with my seals and seal the beast into Naruto. When I was away there was a man who attacked me. He was the one controlling the Kyuubi. If we kill the Kyuubi here it will only reform some where else and be venerable to control once more. However if we can seal it into Naruto not only will our son be able to have the power of this Grimm, but we can make sure that the man I fought can't control it. I also want you to live so he can be loved by his mother. Vale should be fine with Ozpin back in control so I don't need to worry about that either." as he then placed his hands in front of him with his palms facing the air and fingers spread. A white seal with a yellow tint appearing in front of him in the air. Jaune then saying "Death Summoning Seal." and from the whitish yellow glyph appears what looks like the Grim Reaper himself. A black cloaked individual with their hood up only showing boney white hands holding a long black pole with a scythe attached to it. The Arc looked to the cloaked individual as he continued holding his hands out to the seal and said "God of Death I want to make a deal. My soul in exchange for your help in sealing the Kyuubi into my son Naruto." as he looked at the now named God of Death. The cloaked entity of Death faced its shadowed hood to Jaune and said in a deep raspy male voice "This deal is agreeable Jaune Arc. With your large Aura you would have lived a long time, but giving your life to me early? It certainly makes things easier for me, but I am not unkind. I will drain away your soul at a slow pace so you may have a little time to say your last words." As he then holds the scythe with one hand and uses the other to pierce Jaune's stomach. The hand comes out holding what seems to be a large rope colored white with a yellow tint. He holding the rope as he puts the hand back on the scythe. The weapon glows a white color with a yellow tint for a brief moment and then the rope slowly begins coiling around the end of the scythes shaft and moving up it to the blade at a snails pace.*
The group of seven were shocked at the fact that Pyrrha and Jaune would both be willing to do whatever it took to protect their son. They were also very gobsmacked when Jaune summoned The God of Death. When the Reaper had pierced Jaune's stomach with his hand everyone cried out in fear thinking that the God wouldn't honor the deal that He and Jaune made. However when Death pulled out a large white and yellowish rope they were confused and they all looked to Xodia for answers.
Xodia sighed and said "That rope you see there is the manifestation of the soul for the god of death. The color is Jaune's aura color meaning that is Jaune's soul. The reason why the rope is so wide and long is due to the fact that Jaune Arc's Aura is huge in reserves and density." as he looked at the teens.
Weiss decides to ask "I thought you were The God? The King? Why is there a God of Death?" as she looks at Xodia. The rest of RWBY and NPR also look curious now realizing what Weiss is saying and looks over at the God expectantly.
He looks at them and says "Yes I am The God and I am the King, but tell me if there were no other gods then how do you think I am King? In order for there to be a ruler then there must be people under neath him. In this case since I am the King that must mean that there are Gods below me. When I came into existence so too did the Stars in the sky. Lights piercing through The Great Darkness that once ruled completely. After battling The Great Darkness for a long time we eventually came to a stalemate. We could not kill one another. With out Light there could be no Darkness and with out Darkness there could be no Light. So we came to a deal. I would create worlds were life could flourish only if she was able to keep the balance and be the one to destroy them. Of course the same could also happen in reverse. After all the Grimm come from the Darkness and the destructive power of Dust comes from the Light. Anyways after a while we noticed that we could not be on all of our planets at the same time and again we made a compromise. Together she and I made The Minor Gods. We gave pieces of our power to our spawn and the were allowed to rule that piece completely. For example The God of Fire. Fire which is a mix between her Destruction and my Light and given to our son. He can control all types of fire and no other Minor God can. Only The Great Darkness and I can because we were the creators of Fire and our Son." as he looks at them and then looks at the screen.
The teens think about what Xodia said and then look back at the screen as well. They all watching what happens next.
*The God of Death than Strikes the Kyuubi with its scythe blade and from the Grimm beast it is shown there is a black, red and white watery energy coming from it and connecting to the scythe's tip. The Reaper then hovers the blade over the baby Naruto's body. Jaune next to him and placing a seal on the boys stomach. The essence from the scythe of the large Fox Grimm starts to go into the seal at a moderate pace. The Kyuubi roaring in agony as it glares at Pyrrha, Jaune, and Death. Due to Pyrrha's weakened state one of the chains around Kyuubi's left paw slackens and the beast tries to attack the baby as it is generating the most fear. However before its long claw could touch the baby. Both Pyrrha and Jaune lept in front of it and both were impaled. Jaune was behind Pyrrha as the bone claw of the Kyuubi pierced through their backs and out their stomachs. They stopping the claw from reaching their son by becoming his Jaune saying "Pyrrha why did you jump in the way too? I was already going to die. It is my job as a father to sacrifice myself for our son." as he looks at her. Pyrrha looks back and smiles as she says "Its my job as a mother to do that too, you know?" as they then both look down at their son. Jaune decides to add another seal to the one on Naruto's belly and says "Im going to focus some of my Aura into this new seal. I want you to do the same. This way a bit of our selves will be able to help Naruto if the seal should ever start to loosen or break." as then she rests her hand on top of his and an orange aura flows around their fingers and into Naruto. After thats done Jaune says "We won't be able to see him for a while. So lets say what we want to say to him now." as they stare at their sleeping son. His cheeks slowly gaining whiskers as the Fox Grimm is sealed into him. Pyrrha saying "Naruto don't be a picky eater. Just eat a lot so you can grow up big and strong. And make sure that you bathe every day and that you stay warm too. Also don't stay up too late. Make sure you get plenty of sleep. Don't forget to make friends as well. You don't need a ton of them ok? Just a few is fine. As long as they are ones you can really trust. And..mm..your dad wasn't very good at this. Make sure you study hard and learn your about Aura. Always remember everyone is good at somethings and not so good at others. So even if something doesn't go well don't get depressed ok? When your at the academy respect your teachers and your other classmates. Oh. Now this is important. Regarding the three prohibitions of a Huntsmen. Be extra careful about lending and borrowing money. Take your pay put it in a savings account. No alcohol. Not until your of age. Too much is bad for you so practice moderation. And another prohibition is women. Now I am one so I don't too much about it. Keep in mind this world is made up of Men and Women. Human and Faunus too. So you'll at some point start noticing women and thats normal. Just be careful not to fall for the bad ones. Just go out there and find some one who's just like me. And that reminds me. Speaking of the three prohibitions. You should be weary of Jiriya you know? Naruto I'm sorry to say there will be plenty of hardships and painful times ahead. Just be true to yourself. Make sure to have dreams and the confidence to make those dreams come true. Oh Naruto. Theres so much. So much more. There so many things I want to pass on to you. So much more I want to tell you. I wish I could stay with you longer. I love you. Jaune I'm so sorry. I used up your time." as she was speaking the camera panned around the couple slowly. It showing close ups of their faces and Pyrrha crying as she talked to her son.*
The group of seven were crying openly at the twos sacrifice and of the future Pyrrha's speech. They all getting together and hugging Pyrrha closely who had the most tears and was sobbing loudly.
Xodia paused the screen and waited for the teens to calm down. He silently closing his eyes and listening to the heartbreaking sound of a girl crying in sadness.
It took a good half hour for ever one to stop, but since no one wanted to leave Pyrrha's side due to them wanting to support her Xodia had to expand the NPR couch and make it big enough for all seven to sit down on it. They leaving one couch free for the taking and huddled closely together on the other.
The God looked at the teens and asked "Are you all ready to continue? Theres only a little more left to see." as he watched them nod quietly. He then turned to the screen and hit un pause.
*Jaune shook his head with a smile and said "No it's alright. Naruto. My words to you, well I guess your talkative mom said it all." as the sealing process finished and the two collapsed onto the ground when the Kyuubi disappeared along with the claw that impaled them. The two facing one another as their eyes connected. Jaune smiling at Pyrrha and she at him. They holding their left hands together showing off their marriage rings and they both saying "I love you." on their final breaths leaving Naruto on the blanket for an Older Ozpin to come along and take. He looking down at the two and said "No! Not again! I am too late! Jaune...Pyrrha...I am sorry. I swear to look after your son." as he cried and held the baby close.*
The screen faded to black on their older headmasters last word.
Xodia looked at RWBY and NPR and sighed as he watched them cry a little bit from Jaune's last words and the two's final breaths.
He snaps his fingers and behind the tv to the left there appeared a glass display case against the wall. In the display were two stands so far. One held the broken blade and gauntlet on the First Jaune and on the second stand it held two golden rings. The god saying "Now all of you can see the items from the other realities." as he then watched to see what would happen next.
The seven walked up to the display case and they all looked at the gauntlet. Then they all looked at the rings. Inscribed on the rings were: Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Arc-Nikos.
Xodia speaks up and says "The future Pyrrha would wear the one with Jaune's name on it and Jaune would wear the one with your married name on it." as he then stared at the blank screen and waited for the teens to sit again.
He heard the case open and close. Unsurprisingly when they all came back Pyrrha was wearing the ring on her left ring finger. They leaving Jaune's ring and the gauntlet in the display.
They all then watched as the screen faded into another reality.
