Opening my eyes, I gasped for air. "Hold him still!" I heard, with me looking down at a Mistral Officer as his arms were now a tin wire. "Its not easy healing this kind of wound!" He said, with me looking down and seeing his wire like arms were removing the burnt flesh controling the flow of the blood.

"What kind of weapon cauterizes instantly?" Another askes as he wiped the sweat off the others face. "I've never seen a clean, cauterized incision with almost immediate vaporization of tissue." He said, with me letting out a long breath.

"There isn't any major damage to his organs other than his kidney... it's completely gone." The first one said as as he removed something from my wound, with me guessing that it was what remained of my kidney. "The liver appears to be operating just fine." He said as he went back to work.

"How is he?" I heard, with me looking up at Kali as she was also here. I didn't notice her, nor the fact that her hands were holding my head steady.

"He will live, and at the rate I'm moving, he should be back in the fight soon." He said as he looked up the stairs as gunfire could still be heard. "As close as we are, the gunfire is starting to slow down." He said as he looked back at my gut.

"It would of been worse if he was cut in half... after seeing that fight, I don't think anyone would stand a chance against that person." The second one said as they picked up my lightsaber. "How does this even work?" He asked, with me grabbing his hand, scaring him as they dropped it with a scream.

"Dakota!?" Kali said as she looked down at my face. "Stay still, you-"

"I know." I said as I closed my eyes. "Just hurry up, I need to find her." I said, with her raising an eyebrow at me.

"Blake?" Kali asked, where I shook my head.

"No, Rika." I said, her eyes widened at what I said.

Later

Walking slowly with Kali and the Medical Officer holding me up, we joined up with Sun and Ghira. Sun looked concerned as they were helping me walk, with Ghira walking over and taking me from the officer. "What happened?" He asked as he helped me sit down on the broken wall.

"Rika happened, she was here." Kali informed, with him looking at her with shock before looking at me.

"I see that death in your family isn't as it always seems." He said as he looked at the hole in my shirt. "She stabbed you?" He asked, with me nodding.

"Yeah, she was too strong for me." I said, with him nodding.

"Its due to her experience, she has a few years over you." He said, with me looking away. "Where is she now?" He asked, where I shook my head as I didn't know.

"Dakota!?" We heard Blake, who ran over to us. She stopped next to me and got to eye level. "Are you alright? When they said that the person you fought went after Yang, I got scared!" She said, wrapping her arms around my head and pulling me into a hug.

"Careful Blake, he is still hurt!" Kali warned, where she pulled Blake away. "He was stabbed, by Rika." She informed, where Blakes eyes widened.

"That's who that was? Rika? I thought she was dead? No, we know she was dead, burned alive!" She said as she looked down at me. "Is she a clone as well?" She asked, with me looking down from her gaze.

"She... is posessing one of my clones." I said, shocking them. "They look like me, fight like her, but if she has everything of mine and hers... she most likely remembers what I do, and what she does as well." I said with a heavy sigh. "She is stronger than I am, by a long shot." I said, with us hearing footsteps.

Looking up, we saw the rest of Team RWBY and Team JNPR approaching us. "Dakota? Thats you... right?" Ruby asked as she looked concerned.

"Sort of." I said as I looked away. "I'm his clone." I said as I was most likely a disappointment for them. Suddenly, I was hugged from behind, with me feeling a large chest pressing against my back, as well as yellow gauntlets.

"I am SO sorry!" Yang said, where I let out a sigh as I recalled what she had to do. I could feel my shoulder getting wet, most likely due to Yang's tears as she was sobbing.

Placing a hand on her arm, I gave it a few taps. "I should be the one saying that... I told you that to stop me, was to kill me. So, I'm both sorry, and grateful for you." I said as I closed my eyes. "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't of been able to be here... I think?" I said as I shook my head. "If what Rika said was true, her death allowed her to possess one of my clones. It just so happens that mine allowed ne to possess this one." I said as I tried to figure out how it worked.

"So, you're Dakota, but NOT Dakota?" Weiss asked as she placed her hands on her hips. "How does that even work? Do you remember everything or just bits and pieces?" Weiss asked, with me waving my hand side to side.

"You okay?" Jaune asked, raising an eyebrow at me. "When that other person walked back into the room, we thought that you died again." He said, with me nodding.

"I'm fine, but a bit beat up is all." I said, where he nodded and held his hands over me. "What are you doing?" I aksed after a few moments, where he looked confused.

"I... thought I would heal you." He said as he looked at his hands. "That's weird... I can't connect to your aura... maybe it was just a fluke that I was able to use it on Weiss?" He asked, where Blake and Sun looked uncomfortable.

"Yeah... Dakota here doesn't have Aura." Sun said, shocking everyone after they all processed what he just said.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE AURA!? IS IT BECAUSE YOU DIED!? DO WE ALL LOSE OUR AURA WHEN WE DIE!? THAT IS SO WEIRD!?" Nora yelled as she grabbed my shoulders and shook my back and forth, where Ren pulled her off of me.

"Explain!" Ruby said while pointing a finder in my face.

"I don't think I ever had Aura, I think I covered it up to hide my family's secret." I said as I wasn't entirely sure myself. "I use what is called the Force. That in itself is hard to explain." I said as I looked towards the Kid and Older man as they talked amongst themselves. "Who are they?" I asked, with them looking back and seeing them.

"Uncle Qrow and Oscar, who has Ozpin inside him?" Ruby said as she looked at us and seeing our shocked expressions. "Yeah, we had the same looks on our faces when we found out ourselves." Ruby said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Wait... you said Rika? Is that who attacked me?" Yang asked, breaking the hug and standing up right.

"She attacked you?" I asked, with her nodding. "How-"

"She took the Relic and then... called out a name?" Yang said as she crossed her arms. "I cant fully recall what it was, because it was like it was cut off and then... she was standing somewhere else? Then she jumped off the cliff." She said, confusing us all.

"What was down there?" I asked myself as it couldn't be anything good. "It doesn't matter." I said as I stood up and shook my head. "She got what she wanted, and if I had to guess on where she was going next... Atlas." I said, with Weiss raising an eyebrow at this.

"Why Atlas?" She asked, with me holding up the saber for her to see.

"She wants the second one, which is locked away down below our family's estate." I said as I ignited it for them to see its blade. "Its the reverse of this one, and for some reason she cant use it, but I can. It chose me." I said as I put it away.

"So she can just make them, whats so important about this specific one?" Jaune said as he rubbed his head.

"Because it doesn't use Dust, it uses a Kyber Crystal." Blake informed, with them looking confused. "The way he put it, a Kyber Crystal is Dust that has been untouched for thousands of years, and evolved. While they look very similar, they are completely different. Dust can run out, but a Kyber Crystal-"

"Has an infinite amount of usage? Wow..." Ruby said as she was impressed by what she just said.

"No, it doesn't work like that." I said as I shook my head as Ruby was making it seem like it was an all powerful weapon. "She is following a specific path that she believes will put her on top, make her stronger than everyone else."

"Is that what she meant when she called herself the True Chosen One?" Nora asked as she tilted her head. Sounds dumb.

"She said that?" Ghira asked, narrowing his eyes. "Those where her exact words, The True Chosen One?" He asked as he placed a hand on Kali's shoulder's, where she placed her hands on his with wide eyes.

"Yeah, why?" Ruby asked as she looked concerned. "What does that have to do with anything? What's the Chosen One anyways?" She asked as I wanted to know as well.

"It's a prophecy spoken of long ago by the Feichko Clan, though it was just a story. A story that has been passed down through generations." He said as he looked up at the moon.

"What does that mean?" Blake asked as she looked up at him.

He took a deep breath before continuing. "The prophecy states that this warrior will possess a unique strength, one that is able to confront the source of the Grimm. It is believed that the Grimm arise from fear and despair, and the warriors light will vanquish that darkness, bringing peace to the world once more."

"What will happen when they come?" Ren asked, his curiosity now fully piqued.

"The warrior, with their wisdom and strength, will unite the people of Remnant. They will help us understand that our true power lies in our unity—our willingness to stand together against the darkness." Ghira said as he gestured towards the horizon. "And when the time comes, we must all be ready to support this hero, to find our own strength within." He said as he looked at me. "The signs will be evident to those who are paying attention."

"What is spoken, exactly? I feel like that was summed down to its core?" I asked, with Kali looking at me.

"In the time of greatest despair, when shadows loom over the hearts of many, a beacon will fall from the stars. A hero, marked by the light of hope, shall rise among mortals, wielding the strength of the Force. With weapons sharper than any blade, they will confront the source of the Grimm—born from fear and chaos that dwell in the hearts of men. Through trials and tribulations, they shall unite those fractured by sorrow, restoring harmony to the land. Their heart will shine as a guiding star, illuminating the path for all who seek peace. In their presence, bonds of friendship shall flourish, and the flickering flame of courage shall ignite within the hearts of the brave. When the last shadow is cast and the darkness is unveiled, the hero will stand as the embodiment of light. With a single act of valor, they will shatter the curse that binds the creatures of Grimm, ushering in an era of tranquility. Thus, it is foretold that through their courage and strength, peace shall return, and the world shall once again know laughter, love, and the warmth of the sun." Kali finished, having remembered it word for word.

Blake and I felt a shiver run down our spines as we looked at eachother. The weight of the words filled the air between all of us. "Blake, you called Dakota Hope!? She isn't the true hero, HE IS!?" Sun said as he pointed at me, where Blake hit him in the arm.

"Shut up Sun!?" She yelled while blushing.

"What's he talking about?" Ruby asked Blake, who was blushing now.

"She... Said that she was good at reading people, Ruby was Purity, Weiss was Defiance, Yang was Strength, and she called me Hope." I said as I shook my head. "Its just a story, just like Abeloth." I said with a shiver as I remebered my parents telling me that if I was bad Abeloth would take me away.

"Right, just a story." Jaune said, crossing his arms. "But... what if its not?" He asked, with all of us staying quiet.

"We will cross that bridge when we get there." I said as Qrow and Oscar walked up to us.

"So, I take it that person was Revan?" Oscar, no, by the sound of his voice it wasn't him, it was Ozpin.

"Yeah... you look different." I said as I could also feel him, both of them.

"That is to be expected." He said as he stumbld into Qrow, who caught him.

"We are going to make our way towards Atlas as soon as possible, the sooner the better." He said as Oscar passed out. "First, we all need rest." He said as he looked me up and down. "Who are you?" He asked, with he holding my hand out to him.

"Dakota, well... his clone." I said, making his sigh and shake my hand before walking away with Oscar. "He seems out of it." I said as Ruby gave a chuckle.

"Yeah, thats to be expected, we all kind of got beat up in there." Ruby said as she looked at Blake. "So, we're all going to Atlas... you coming along?" She asked, looking at me. "I mean... you have to get there before your sister, so who knows if you get there before she does." She said, with me nodding as I would travel with them.

"Sounds like a plan." Blake said as she took my hand in hers. "We will be crashing at the Inn, the Mistral Police said that they would cover the cost for stopping the attack on Haven." She said, with Ruby's eyes widdening.

"Oh my go, we forgot about Lionheart!?" She yelled as she and eveyone else ran back into the school, with Blake, Sun, Ghira, Kali and I staying behind.

"So... you two a thing now?" Sun asked as we looked at him, then at our hands, where she wrapped my arm around her shoulders and started walking me away.
