A/N: Based on Moistmailman's tumblr prompt suggesting how powerful Pyrrha's Polarity could be if she got augmented by Jaune's Semblance…or, to put it bluntly, remember how Magneto escaped from his prison in X-Men 2? Original idea belongs to Moistmailman.

Apparently There's Iron in Blood

Jaune laid in the streets of war-torn Vale during the massive attack by both Grimm, White Fang, and the mysterious woman wielding fire. He groaned as he picked himself up and staggered towards the rocket locker that he came from, directly after Pyrrha had pushed him into it and sent him away.

Why…? he wondered. …Why did she send me away? Pyrrha can't…she would NEVER try to fight an enemy she knew she couldn't beat, not one that beat Ozpin! He looked in the distance and saw the massive Grimm Dragon flying around the top of Beacon Tower, the same place he knew Pyrrha was, confronting that witch that was the cause of all of the destruction around him.

Jaune placed his hand over his heart, and even with the sounds of Grimm, screaming, and destruction around him, he could hear his heart thumping loudly. Tears rushed to his eyes and his mind painted an image of Pyrrha dying at the hands of that witch, and deep down, he knew why he was feeling this way. It was not just because Pyrrha is his best friend––the one person in his life that he could call his best friend––or his partner, it was because he loved her, and he knew it straight away when she kissed him mere minutes ago.

Ever since the Vytal prom, when he danced with her while wearing that silly dress, unknown feelings began to brew inside of him and they were directed at Pyrrha. Jaune was quick to recognize that these were feelings of love, obviously so, hinted by the many teen drama/romance movies he watched growing up, but he rejected these feelings at first. "Of all the people I could fall in love with, why Pyrrha?" he would ask himself many times. It was not just because of her beauty alone, but because she is his best friend and partner; if it turned out his feelings were misguided or that she did not love him back, then he feared that it would only make things awkward between them and ruin their dynamics in future battles, and so, Jaune suppressed his feelings, instead wanting to remain just her best friend, that is, until she kissed him.

When Pyrrha's lips touched his, all the feelings that Jaune had been suppressing came out in full force, overwhelming his entire being and making him return it, which he did by wrapping his hands around her waist and pulling her close, returning that kiss. In that brief moment, the entire world dissolved around him and everything that had happened became an after-thought as he soaked in that moment and his mind merely told him "She loves you, you idiot!" before she shoved him into that locker with her polarity and sent him away.

"I was so freaking stupid!" Jaune yelled at himself, pounding his fist against the locker. He looked up at Beacon Tower and saw the roof had now exploded into pieces, the Grimm Dragon still flying about. "Pyrrha…" His mind conjured another image, this one of Pyrrha in tears, her body cut up and covered in her blood, with that witch standing over her with an evil smirk as his beloved begged for mercy, and it made tears rush down his cheeks again.

Jaune hit the locker again, but this time, he heard a faint blip coming from it, and when he looked up, he saw the hologram for its rocket coordinates flash onto its screen. Right there, he knew what he had to do. Pyrrha sent me away to protect me, but right now, she needs my help. He quickly inputted a destination for Beacon Tower and pinpointed its exact landing spot for the center of the tower, right where Pyrrha would be. He climbed in the locker with his sword and shield drawn and the locker took off.

Atop Beacon Tower, Pyrrha had already lost; her xiphos was shattered to pieces, her shield laid in a corner, her Aura completely depleted, and an arrow stuck out of her ankle, leaving her immobile. Cinder gave an evil smirk, content with her well-earned victory. She materialized her bow and nocked an arrow, aimed straight for Pyrrha's heart, but right before she let loose, a loud BOOM echoed from behind her, knocking her off-balance.

Looking behind her, Cinder saw Jaune Arc step out of the locker with his weapons already drawn and a mean glare on his face with dagger eyes pointed for her. Now what does he think he can do to me? she wondered as she bared a toothy grin.

"GET AWAY FROM HER, YOU BITCH!" Jaune screamed at her.

"Well, since your little girlfriend wouldn't beg for her life…maybe she'll beg for yours…" Cinder turned her bow towards Jaune now.

"NO! LET HIM GO! HE'S NO THREAT TO YOU!" Pyrrha begged, grabbing hold of Cinder's ankle, but the Fall Witch merely kicked her in the face and turned her attention back to Jaune.

"Let's see if he thinks he's a threat to me then." With that, Cinder let loose her arrow. Jaune barely had time to raise her shield when it imbedded itself through its steel, stopping short of his own face. Jaune raced for Cinder with a yell, and she in turn fired another arrow, which met Jaune's shield in the nick of time. Jaune drew close and swung, which met Cinder's bow, who split the two halves into their blades, forcing Jaune to jump backwards to avoid their swing. Cinder rushed at him, forcing him to block her strikes with his blade and shield, barring him from being able to fight back, but he soon saw his moment when he was backed into a corner against a wall. He saw an opportunity though: Cinder lunged forward for a stab with her left blade, to which Jaune sidestepped it, where it embedded itself into the stone wall. Cinder swung her other blade, but Jaune already saw it coming; he lifted his shield at the right angle, making the blade skid across it and falling downwards, leaving Cinder open, where he lunged his blade for her stomach, but before steel could meet flesh, a fiery explosion appeared before him, knocking him backwards against the wall and sending his sword and shield across the floor.

"So close, and yet so far," Cinder teased him, fire dancing on her fingertips. "However, you did well for such a weakling." With that, she materialized a fiery javelin in her hands. "Ready to die?"

Jaune looked upon his foe with a defiant glare, but there was no fear in his eyes. "You won't scare me that easily. I've been ready to die ever since I came to Beacon, and at least I can say I did my best against a witch like you."

"You kids never seem to fear anything!" Cinder growled. She lowered her javelin, but then she suddenly spun around and tossed it, where it impaled itself through Pyrrha's chest, puncturing her lung, heart, and spine before coming out her back. It happened so fast, Pyrrha did not even realize what happened until she looked upon the fiery shaft protruding in front of her. She felt her insides cauterize and burn, and she began choking to death as her major organs went into overdrive, desperate to save her life.

"PYRRHA!" Jaune screamed in horror. He dashed to her side while Cinder watched and relished in the pain the boy was experiencing. By the time he reached her, the javelin had vanished into fiery embers, leaving two massive, bloody holes in Pyrrha's body. He held her in his arms as tears ran down both of their faces. "Don't…stay with me, okay?" he begged her. Pyrrha breathed heavily, her life already running short. She placed her hand in Jaune's and tried to speak, but only gurgles would come out. "I love you, Pyrrha…please know that…" he whispered to her. "…I'm sorry I didn't realize it until tonight…I'm so sorry…" Pyrrha began to stay still and her breathing slowed down more and more as Jaune realized that she was going to die in his arms. He reached down and kissed her lips, despite that she could not muster the strength to return it, but that was when a miracle happened.

Jaune's entire body glowed with a brilliant and warm white light, which enveloped Pyrrha as well, making her breathe a little quicker. "Pyrrha?" Jaune took his hands from hers and placed it upon the massive hole in her chest, and he was marveled to see that inside, Pyrrha's vital organs were growing back, undoing the damage. The cauterized and burned blood vessels grew back, her shredded heart regrew and began pumping, at the very back, he saw the exit wound close up completely, her torn lung repaired itself and her breath increased and returned to normal, blood began to flow, and before he knew it, Jaune watched the hole in her chest shrink under repaired skin, until the only sign of damage left was the blood on his hands and clothes and the long trail that ran down her chest. "PYRRHA!" He hugged her tight, despite that she was still hurt, but she was alive.

"Oh, how touching, but you forgot that I am still here, boy!" Cinder called, where she nocked an arrow to her bow. "Doubt you'll be able to heal her again, not if I kill you first!"

Jaune held Pyrrha close and moved himself between her and Cinder, his body still glowing brightly with his Aura. Cinder fired, but when the arrow reached Jaune, his white Aura absorbed the arrow and disintegrated it into nothing, causing no harm to him. Cinder was shocked, but she merely readied another arrow and fired again, only for it to meet the same result. "Fine! I'll just slice at your head until your Aura gives out!" She tossed one blade aside and made her way for the two.

I see it now, Pyrrha thought as Jaune's Aura continued to unconsciously fill her up. Jaune's Semblance allows him to transfer his Aura to someone else to replenish theirs, and augment's their natural abilities, even shields and healing…could it also power up Semblances…? Pyrrha shifted herself in Jaune's grip to get a look at Cinder. I can hear the sound of metal all around me…in Jaune's armor, my armor, his weapons and my shield way over there, the cogs, the locker…I can…hear metal in our bodies…how…?

Pyrrha chose not to question this any further when Cinder reached them both and raised her sword to strike. Jaune held Pyrrha close, determined to use himself as a shield, but Pyrrha stuck her hand out, enveloped in her black Aura, and she felt metal––iron, to be precise––in Cinder's sword arm. She clenched her hand, and Cinder's arm suddenly exploded at the elbow in a shower of blood.

The witch screamed in agonizing pain while her arm, the sword still clenched in her hand, fell to the floor lifelessly. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" she screeched as she slapped her hand onto the wounds, desperate to stop the bleeding. Pyrrha did not answer, instead trying to focus on the iron in Cinder's blood again, but her aim was off and Cinder's left leg exploded now, sending her toppling onto the floor as her screams increased. "YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Cinder screamed repeatedly as she squirmed and flailed about. Finally, Pyrrha locatedthe iron in her brain and clenched her hand again, this time, Cinder's entire head exploded and her body went still in a pool of her own blood.

"Not done yet…Jaune, I need more of your Aura…" Jaune nodded and wrapped his arms around her tighter, filling her up with more of his Aura. Pyrrha reached both hands to the sky and she detected the iron in the Grimm Dragon's entire body. She clenched her hands, and the monster erupted into a massive explosion, sending a storm of blood upon Beacon Tower, coating it and the two Huntsmen entirely in blood.

Pyrrha collapsed in Jaune's arms while his body ceased glowing, instead he crackled with white energy, indicating that his Aura had fully depleted. "Pyrrha, you okay?"

"I am now, all thanks to you," she wheezed, herself completely exhausted. "I don't suppose you still have any Aura left for my ankle?"

"Sorry, I'm out. Most of my healing went into your wound."

"Your Semblance isn't healing, its Aura-sharing. You transferred your Aura to me to replenish mine and augment its strength, hence how I healed from such major wounds, and you did the same to your own shields to stop her arrows," she explained.

Still trying to play my teacher, even now. "Well, whatever it is, I'm glad I have it." He hugged her tight and the two smiled, despite that they both were covered in blood. "And Pyrrha, I'm sorry I didn't say this sooner, but, I love you."

"I'm sorry I tried sending you away like that, I must've hurt you so much, but I was trying to protect you…instead, it was the worst decision I could've made, and I can't believe I did that to you…" Pyrrha took in a deep breath. "…and I love you too, and I'm sorry I didn't say it sooner…"

With that, Jaune cupped her face and kissed her lips, despite the taste of blood. Pyrrha returned his kiss, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and his hands went around her waist, just like in front of the tower. This kiss felt so much better, so full of passion and love for each other, and once again, the world seemed to have melted away and they forgot that they were drenched in blood, at least until a voice yelled "What in the Gods' name happened here?!" snapping them both back to reality to see that Glynda and Qrow had arrived, and they both were shocked at the scene before them. Glynda strolled through the blood, but she gave a shriek when her shoe hit against something soft, which turned out to be part of Cinder's head, and Qrow came upon one of Cinder's arms.

"Um, I don't really know how to explain it either," Pyrrha remarked with a half-smirk.

"Well, first off, did you know that the human body, and even Grimm, have iron in their bloodstreams, because we just found that out a while ago," went Jaune, which only earned a puzzled look from Qrow and a disgusted look from Glynda. "Well, we can go into the details later."

"AFTER we get you two cleaned up!" Glynda added, waving her riding crop at them both. "Qrow, go down and get a medic team and a bullhead up here for these two." Qrow saluted her and flew off in his crow form.

"Also, I just want to add that while it was me who killed the woman and the Grimm Dragon, Jaune should get all the credit; I wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for him." Glynda rolled her eyes while Pyrrha turned her attention back to her blood-soaked partner. "You deserve the fame and glory for this one, Jaune."

"Aw, thanks, Pyrrha!" He hugged her tightly.

While Vale and the CCT were still destroyed with many casualties, the Grimm Dragon and Cinder Fall, who orchestrated the attack, were destroyed by Team Arkos, earning humanity a victory against evil, all thanks to their special Semblances and their love for each other.
