Hey I know I usually do these two chapters at a time, but I decided to only do one this time, why, you'll see in the end.
Chapter 29
Jaune and Pyrrha road there Duel Runners across the streets, until they reached the point where they were suppose to meet Caesar, it was the edge of Neon City, where the city ended and looked out the sea to see the Satellite, Jaune looked at the Satellite longingly, he wanted to go back so badly, he wanted to protect the Satellite, Pyrrha saw this and put a hand on his shoulder and gave him a quick peck to the cheek to cheer him up a little.
''Ah, you made it'' said a voice, Jaune and Pyrrha didn't need to turn to see whom it was, it was Caesar.
''What do you want Caesar?'' asked Jaune.
''I just wanted to talk'' said Caesar.
Jaune and Pyrrha, turned to him and Pyrrha said ''were listening''
''Hmm I'd rather it not be hear'' said Caesar.
''Well, too bad, we came hear, so were having the discussion hear'' said Jaune.
''Hmm, very well I basically just wanted to give you a brief run through of the legend and ask you a favor'' stated Caesar.
''You've got nerve asking me for a favor after what you did!'' snapped Jaune.
''I guess, I do but I know you'll do it anyways Jaune'' said Caesar ''because it involves the Satellite''
Jaune froze, he looked back to the Satellite and remembered the vision, Pyrrha knew what Jaune was thinking and so quickly said ''Jaune it's fine, we'll get back to the Satellite, we don't need him''
''I know'' said Jaune.
''But you know that I can get you back easier and you know that I know things that you want to know'' said Caesar.
''I know that too so how's the Pyrrha we'll hear him out, listen to his stupid story and formulate a plan from there'' stated Jaune.
''Fine'' said Pyrrha ''tell your tale, then give your offer and we'll talk it over and decide''
''Thank you'' smirked Caesar ''now to the tale of the dragons its quite an interesting story''
''Yeah, yeah were all interested now can you please just tell it'' said Jaune.
''At the beginning of time there was a war'' said Caesar.
''Of course there was the beginning of anything can be peaceful can it?'' asked Jaune.
''there were two great army's, one of light, one of darkness, the army of light was not comprised of men, but Dragons or at least beasts claiming to be dragons as you've seen from your Firewall Dragon, Jaune'' said Caesar.
''Ha, ha, ha very funny'' laughed Jaune dully ''now tell the stupid story funny man''
''The army of Darkness, was comprised of monsters, that called themselves the Earthbound Immortals, they are still known today for the scars they have left on the earth, now the two army's went for one final confrontation'' said Caesar.
''Oh let me guess, the Dragons knew they couldn't win on there own so they combined there powers, created the Crimson Dragon and won'' said Jaune.
''Such a cliché story'' said Bitron appearing next to Jaune.
''yes, that is how it happened, the Earthbound Immortals were turned into the Nazca lines, but first they took a Prisoner, the Moonlight Dragon, Tsukuyomi'' stated Caesar.
''Ok, that's sort of a plot twist'' said Bitron.
''Bitron please go'' said Jaune.
''Going'' said Bitron before disappearing.
''Ok, now it's our turn to ask some question's'' said Jaune.
''Of course go ahead'' said Ceasar.
''Our marks what do they mean?'' asked Pyrrha.
''The Marks of the Crimson Dragon are there to show that you will always protect the world from darkness'' said Caesar.
''Oh, that's all then why did the marks choose us?'' asked Jaune.
''Because, you are both strong and selfless, you both care for others and put others needs before your own'' stated Caesar ''and it knows you will fight to protect the world from the Dark Signers''
''Wait, I met one of there Drones, he had a snake mark, wait, since when was there a Snake Nazca line?'' asked Jaune (I saw some fan art for a snake earthbound immortal and thought, ok that's pretty cool I'll do one for this, but seriously is there a snake Nazca line?)
''Then the first battle has already been fought and won, by you Jaune'' said Caesar.
''But how are they back?'' asked Jaune ''aren't they trapped in the earth or something''
''They were… until the negative reverse'' said Caesar.
''Yeah, your going to need to explain that'' said Pyrrha.
''Right, you see it was an idea, dueling generates some kind of energy called Ener-D, there was a plan to make a generator to collect the energy and send it out'' stated Caesar ''just imagine it, a whole city powered by nothing but a deck of cards''
''That is pretty crazy'' said Pyrrha ''but let me guess there was some kind of accident
''There was, the reactor pumped out a kind of negative energy and through that, it exploded and separated the city into two, Neon city and the Satellite, the satellite holds all this negative energy and as of such is a good place for the immortals to flourish, the negative energy was in fact so powerful, it awoke the immortals'' stated Caesar ''now you must believe me I never meant for this to happen I only wanted to help the people''
''Yeah, on the factor that you're the guy who gives them no help, constantly allows your security goons to bully them and makes them live like refugees I seriously doubt that'' said Jaune.
''Jaune, I think he meant the city'' said Pyrrha.
''Ah right'' said Jaune.
''Now the negative energy came from the satellite and it must end in the satellite, you must fight the dark signers there'' stated Caesar.
''What are we suppose to do, can't we just evacuate?'' asked Jaune ''I have friends their Caesar!''
''Where can we take them?'' asked Caesar ''the people need a hero and you can be that hero Jaune!''
Jaune looked down thinking about it, maybe he could do this, he did want to be a hero, but that dream was gone now, he saw it as just a dumb childhood thing, but he couldn't just leave all those people and besides he needed to protect the Satellite, he was the Lawbreaker! The Satellites protector!
''Fine I'll do it'' said Jaune.
''Good, now there was a data storm in the satellite a small one yes, but there was one and from it emanated a kind of energy we picked up, it's the same energy you, Jace, Pyrrha and Moon released when your marks were active'' stated Caesar.
''You think it's the final Singer?'' asked Jaune.
''Yes, I'd like to take you their tomorrow for you to investigate'' stated Caesar.
''Fine I'll go tomorrow'' said Jaune.
''Thank you'' said Caesar, a car pulled up and he got in and the car then drove off.
''Ok, now that's he's gone I can ask what happened to us talking about it?'' asked Pyrrha.
''Pyrrha I don't want to, I honestly don't, but I think at the moment it might be the fastest way to see what's going on'' said Jaune ''I can investigate from the Satellite and you can investigate from hear, look we need to find out what that Snake Mark meant, along with who these Dark Signers are, the faster we can do that the better we can do that''
Pyrrha hesitated for a moment, she seemed to be thinking out his argument, trying to see if there were any flaws, sure he could possibly get back to the Satellite the same way he got into Neon City, but not only would that be very tedious, but security would be trying to stop him every step of the way, besides they could possibly work better together split up, it seemed like a good choice, so hesitantly she said ''fine''
''Thank you Pyrrha'' said Jaune.
''You better be safe, not just for me, but for Moon'' said Pyrrha.
''I will be'' said Jaune smiling at her.
-LINE BREAK-
For few days Jace had been recovering in Makilla's apartment, his arm had fixed, his pride had fixed up a little bit too, but not too much, Jace was still lamenting about his loss to Jaune, he had mostly been laying on Makilla's couch just thinking and Makilla was starting to get tired of it.
On the third day she had decided it was getting ridiculous and so was going to try and talk some sense into him, she walked into the living room and saw, he was gone and a window was open, so she concluded that Jace must have left, she quickly got to her car and started to look for him, she found him headed for the train station.
''Where is he going?'' Makilla asked herself.
Jace managed to board a train; Makilla was following closely behind Jace, he got off at a lookout tower, that tourists used to overlook the city and looked out over the ocean, Makilla now knew why he came hear, she walked out and he turned around to see him.
''Your looking at the Satellite right now aren't you Jace?'' asked Makilla
''Yeah, I kind of always have really, I left behind everything just for a shot at fame, I got that shot at fickle fans who if I lost once turned on me, I left behind everything just for that and only now I see just how fucking stupid that was'' said Jace looking down.
''You can start over'' said Makilla ''think about it like this, Old Jace died when Jaune beat him and New Jace was born from the ashes like the phoenix, find Jaune, find all your friends and just apologize and try to make everything right again''
Jace paused and looked out to the Ocean and the Satellite again, maybe Makilla was right, maybe he could make everything right, Jaune was one of the nicest guys he had ever met, he pretty much forgave everyone, maybe he'd forgive him, maybe he could prove himself and make it right with everyone, no, not could, would he would do this, Makilla was right the self-confidence, egotistical, jerk him was gone! And new and improved him was hear!
''Thanks for the stay Makilla, I know I'm not an easy person to deal with'' said Jace ''but Thank you, I need to go now, I need to look for Jaune''
''Maybe I can help you there'' said Makilla.
-LINE BREAK-
Meanwhile Jaune had been taken by Security Airship back to the Satellite, he drove out into the Satellite ignoring the words the piolet had said when they landed and started to look for either Rowan and his friends or Ruby, eventually he saw the woman.
''Ruby!'' he called, the woman saw him and quickly ran off as fast as she could.
''Ruby wait!'' Jaune cried out as he chased after her, but she was as fast as ever and evaded him, but luckily Jaune had his Runner with him and quickly chased her into a corner, she turned and looked at him in fear.
Jaune slowly went up to her still wearing his helmet, but took it off revealing himself ''Ruby, it's me it's Jaune, I know I'm a bit older now and my hairs changed but its me I promise you!'' he said.
''W-wait, Ruby?'' asked the woman ''you mean Ruby Rose?''
''Y-yes I mean Ruby Rose'' said Jaune, wondering where she was going, this was Ruby wasn't it?
''How do you know her?'' she asked, this confirmed it, it wasn't Ruby.
''Wait, your not Ruby are you?'' asked Jaune.
''Answer, my question first how do you know her?'' asked the woman.
''We met at Beacon'' stated Jaune.
''She went to Beacon, oh baby I didn't want you to do what I did!'' cried the woman falling to her knees crying.
Jaune walked up to her and kneeled down ''listen, she ok alright, I think she is anyways, I don't know I haven't seen her for a year and a half, that's as long as I've been hear, I don't know who you are, but I know that I care for Ruby, ok and I can tell you care for her, so listen I want to help you in anyways I can, my name is Jaune Yu Arc what's your?'
''My name is Summer Rose, I'm pleased to meet you'' said the woman.
Yeah, sorry but it's not Ruby, its Summer, I planned it to be Summer from the get go and you guys almost did convince me to make it Ruby, but I decided to stick to my guns and keep it Summer.
