– Arena waiting room–
Jaune was tapping his foot as he waited in his armor, his stats were set, his army was ready, his gear was up to par, and his inventory was stocked with potions for aura, magic, and health. He knew thanks to Neo this is the day that Cinder's plan would activate. He needed to be ready to heal anyone still tired or injured from the tournament rounds in a heart beat.
He sighs out in focus as he goes into his inner world to see the old fort in pristine condition as he finds all his summons building it farther out, making a fort town.
He looks for his hero units and finds them all in the throne room. But now changed to a round conference table where they can all sit comfortably with no one ousted as being higher or more important than the others. Jaune smirks at this as he takes a random seat and is joined by his hero units.
All his heroes were present. Baruka was at the table looking ready to meditate with his legs drawn up and crisscrossed up in his chair. Iron was at full attention with a straight back and eyes full of excitement at where Jaune was about to enter and who he was about to fight. Kaisel the Great Wyvern was laying on its belly on a nearby stack of pillows and was lounging while keeping its eyes trained on its prince of the light. Igris was actually standing on Jaune left and at full attention ready for any command Jaune might have for him.
Jaune looked around at his Heroes and decided to open things up, "So who here is ready for the operation of stopping Cinder and her plans for the school?"
All hands, and one clawed wing, raise in response. Jaune chuckles at the eagerness of his light soldiers before growing serious, "Now we have a choice, we must decide how quickly to fight off General Ironwood to allow our allies and friends to be in place for the incoming invasion. The more time we buy, the more time they get, but if we stall for too long, we can be ousted for hiding our true strength before it is time and might scare off Cinder. If she does spook at seeing a hint of our true strength then we will not find her so easily in the kingdoms again. And it is not like we can cover every school with our number of soldiers… Well technically we can if we divide into Squads, but that isn't the most efficient option."
Iron goes to argue the point but thinks it over before nodding in reluctance. While it sounds good in theory, they would all be separated from Jaune and they wouldn't know how long it would take him to reach them as backup while they use up his aura reserves regenerating against whatever threat was killing them over and over.
Baruka thinks it over before he gets the grin of a hunter on his face, "My lord. I believe I have the proper plan to show our might to the general while giving our allies the ultimate time frame to prepare for Cinders coming attack."
Jaune leans in along with the rest of the council, "I'm listening Baruka."
Baruka grins wider as he explains the plan to them all. Iron is all for it as Igris nods his head once. Kaisel is pouting as he won't be used at this time but he perks up at Jaunes promise of using him against Cinders flying Grimm to show them who the true master of the sky is. Kaisel preens at that and nuzzles Jaune for it.
Jaune turns back to Baruka while petting Kaisel and says, "Let's do it. We have our plan and we have our limits set. Let's show General Ironwood that even those with a few decades of experience can still learn a thing or three from the younger generation."
With a roar of approval from his hero council Jaune exits his light world.
He grins as he sends out the message on the guilds private server.
All over Vale his team members and guild members rise. The teams under them cover the school at key points. The full fledged hunters in their ranks all mobilize to key points across town. A certain red eyed crow flies off with a caw towards the tower of beacon. And a certain red sunglasses wearing gang mobilizes their troops for protecting the citizens from harm during the evacuation that will happen during the chaos.
And the shocking part is Blake forwards this message to a private forum she had on the side which is received by a certain Chameleon Faunus girl who smiles and blushes at Blakes other message to her. "Ilia time to mobilize the plan, good luck, and be careful beautiful."
With a slight blush Ilia puts on her white knight mask with blue highlights as she mobilizes a blue wearing battalion of White fang. Led by a man in full armor with an azure katana.
- Arena -
Jaune steps out at the same time Ironwood does to the ground shaking cheers of both sides. He chuckles as the General obviously is uncomfortable in this kind of setting as he brings out twin guns. One looks like a hand cannon while the other looks like an extended barrel heavy duty revolver. On his back on a cross harness is a pair of longer weapons, some sort of heavy assault rifle and a heavy duty anti tank missile pack with 4 shots in it.
Jaune whistles out at that as he notices the generals uniform is looking similar to his recent model of atlesian knight bots but fitted to be for human use.
Jaune chuckles as he readies his armor and sword, (The armor now looks like the cover picture of this book.) And looks out to Ironwood, "I hope you are ready General! This won't be a massacre like the last two rounds between our guilds, but it also won't be a close match like you are expecting!"
Ironwood thinks Jaune realizes his own weakness and calls out, "Agreed! I know you are a powerful tactician Jaune! But a tactician is only a smart man who can think on the fly and adapt to situations! Without the strength to keep up with the plans they think of it is all meaningless! So why don't you surrender now and show why Atlas is superior to Vale? And why your last two rounds were flukes simply because my specialists underestimated your guild mates?"
Jeers and boos sound out from Vale while Jaunes Girlfriends from their hidden spots all glare bloody murder at the General through their scrolls. Jaune simply laughs and says, "Welp, going to need to correct you on three points General! First! I am not surrendering! Second! I plan to show you that we were justified in our victories over your guild! And third! Who said I am only a tactician?"
At those words Jaune suddenly has another knight standing beside him, Igris is standing at his lords side with a powerful looking blue/white blade almost as long as his own body. It crackles with electricity as he readies the blade at his side.
Ironwood gulps nervously at seeing the element his armor and cybernetics are weak against come out, but he had insulation to help so he would last a while.
He hears the buzzer as the field finishes changing to a different type, the field is now a replication of down town Vale Square (From the original Breach in the show second Season).
He readies his twin guns as he rushes forward and begins to shoot at Jaune and Irgris with aura erasing rounds. These rounds were known to blow away at least 10% of specialists schnees aura with each hit, and able to eradicate her summons with little issue. He just needed Jaune and his summon to contact these bullets and he would be in the lead- 'How are they doing that?!'
That last thought was screamed out in the surprised Generals head as he sees Jaune dodging each bullet with little issue while also keeping his ready form with sword and shield held high. But his summon was actually deflecting the bullets off its sword edge just enough to have the bullets divert into the buildings around it or into the street. Each shot having enough force to destroy a window completely, break open a wall, or make a new crater big enough for a full grown man in each one.
Ironwood grits his teeth as he flips his guns around and presses the full auto option on each one. Jaune grins as his eyes glow subtly as Ironwood takes aim once more. He glances and sees a disappearing Igris who looks like it finally took some bullets and was destroyed. He grins at this turn and aims both barrels at Jaune.
He presses the triggers causing a torrent of bullets to explode from each gun as he unleashes the full remaining ammo from each pistol at his foe. Jaune stops and sees the nearly 50 bullets flying at him while out of the corner of his eye he sees ironwood doing a quick reload using a special spin technique. He grins at that knowing that the General was indeed very powerful and has perfected his skills for his guns to almost instantaneously reload. Meanwhile he grins at the bullets and raises his shield to come between him and the torrent of projectiles.
Ironwood finishes his reload as he glances at Jaune, just standing there with his shield up over the middle of his body, not guarding his legs or head. Ironwood shakes his head at this display and figures Jaune must have been taken aback by his move and shocked the young man with the skill. This round would go to him and he would recover Atlas's pride and prowess in the eyes of the masses- 'AGAIN WITH THE STRANGENESS!?'
The reason for the outburst from the general this time was that he suddenly saw a bright white tower shield erupt from the ground in front of Jaune and block all 50 shots he had unleashed on the hunter. The shield is held by a large and powerful looking arm before the rest of the 9ft tall body joins the shield with a large war hammer on its back.
Ironwood gulps at this display as Iron himself grins widely and brings his hammer ot bear in the generals direction as a direct challenge to the Atlasian headmaster.
Ironwood shocked by the original knights challenge movement realized that these light figures must have minds of their own and thus this lad must have some sort of magical ability! That dang Ozpin! Hiding this fact from him! This would bump this kids threat from the original B+ range to a solid A at this point!
He would need to step up his game!
James Ironwood would usually pride himself as a thoughtful and calm person on or off the battlefield.
But that's only against normal foes. He has spared against Ozpin before with the headmasters magic in play and had a 35% chance of beating him in any spar. And that is only from analyzing the old wizards spells and memorizing their casting times and effects. This was something new! A new form of summoning magic he had not seen. So it was of little surprise to the General himself when he brought out his rifle and combined it with his revolver to show the revolver actually fits into the rifle as the rifle had all its parts, except the handle area. A loud click is heard as the weapon mechashift and combine into a revolver rifle with extended ammo clips on both front and back of the rifle build. Ironwood holsters his hand cannon for now and brings his rifle to bear against the behemoth of a knight Jaune has summoned.
Jaune quirks an eyebrow and readies the combo he had prepared with Iron right as the general presses the trigger of his new weapon. The front ammo case glows a bit as a torrent of revolver 50 caliber rounds come flying out. The dust coating each of the bullets glow purple making Jaune gasp as he dives out from behind Iron.
Iron braces as the bullets hit his tower shield. However as each bullet hits hit shield seems to get heavier and heavier making it harder to guide it to the path of the next bullet. Until by the 20th bullet his shield stays grounded as it opens up his upper torso and head to the remaining rounds as the shred Irons upper body to swiss cheese.
Jaune gulps as he continues his dash to around the General as Ironwood is shredding his soldier down to mere wisps of light left. Before he is staring down the barrel of the generals combined weapons. He yelps as the back ammo holder glows yellow and sparks erupt from the barrel of the gun as it unleashes rifle armor piercing rounds now coated in lightning energy speeding them up and increasing their piercing damage.
(Author checking the science of the piercing increase form lightning. Looks at chidori from Naruto, the lightning dragon claw attack from fairy tail, and the lightning magica form from Negima sensei… Yep seems like the science in anime terms is solid! Proceed!)
Jaune activates Hunter mind for his body to flow between each shot. But these shots are easily three times faster than the previous bullets he had to dodge. He manages to dodge the lethal shots at his joints and major muscle groups. But he took a few that scraped and glanced off his armor and off his shield. But the lightning used this to shock him and chip away at his aura level.
He grunts in slight pain and stinging twitches from involuntary muscle spasms as he manages to get through the torrent of bullets. Only to come face to face with the hand cannon from Ironwood that he had combined with the missle pack as the anti tank packs handle. The general presses the trigger and launches the first of the missiles at Jaune nearly point blank.
Jaune raises his shield and floods his body with aura as Iron appears in front of him with his reformed body and with his semblance blazing. And thankfully right on time as the first missile hits.
A loud explosion rocks the stadium and covers the arena floor with smoke and debris as Ironwood stands there resolute in his aim and with his semblance helping him focus his mind and his will to make sure Jaune is down.
Atlas is cheering like crazy while Jaunes friends are all worried at how much that attack took out of him. They know he is still alive, but how much of his aura did it take to withstand an anti tank round?!
Ironwood waits as the dust settles and checks the screen for Aura levels. His is at a solid 93% so far from charging his bullets with the dust and with using his semblance to help him adapt to the situation since the start of Jaune summoning his soldiers.
He checks Jaune and finds a satisfactory level of 65% remaining.
He looks to where Jaune is on the ground groaning in pain as Iron is only a pair of boots and the bottom half of his shield left over from the missile.
Ironwood preps and loads his second rocket to finish Jaune off. Only to suddenly gasp and leap away as at least 15 arrows of light with blue tips are suddenly right where he was standing not two seconds ago.
Holstering his rocket pack onto his back again and swiftly switching to his revolver rifle with fresh ammo he looks to the side where Jaune and Igris had been at the start of the fight and gasps again at seeing a blue and white archer with a bow at the ready with 5 arrows already loaded. He grits his teeth at yet another soldier the arc boy could apparently summon and unleashes the lightning rounds at the archer.
Iron fails to reform as Jaune makes it continue to look like he can only have one summon out at a time. He makes a show of grunting as he hears the bullet and arrows flying at each other as he looks to where Ironwood is leaping and running and strafing all over the arena to avoid Barukas arrows.
He goes to check the screen to make sure his aura is at the appropriate level for such a blow and nods to himself in satisfaction.
He makes a mental connection to his guild using the soldiers he left in their shadows. 'Everyone almost in position and ready to counter Cinders plan?'
Everyone gives him confirmations of yes, yep, no problems here, and so on. With I love yous from his grilfriends.
He grins before frowning at the last message from Blake, 'Almost Jaune, need 5 more minutes before we can spring our counter trap. Trust me it will be worth it. Sun is helping me here. Can you give me 5?'
Jaune sighs to himself and finishes grunting to his feet as he goes, 'Yeah I can do that. Better make sure you make your amazing seafood medley curry when this is over though Blake. You owe me for enduring however many more missiles Ironwood has in that weapon of his. They are not fun to take on.'
Blake chuckles knowing Jaune would be fine with his potions but agrees that anti tank missiles are never fun to have flying at you, even if you can survive two or three with only bruises. She promises the curry and to hurry up with her portion of the mission as Jaune notices that Baruka has been 'defeated' as well and Ironwood is reloading his rifle for a third time after fighting such an agile and difficult to hit opponent.
James sees his foe back on his feet and readies the next rocket.
Jaune goes into his stance and grins as he goes half of his full speed zig zagging across the battlefield towards the powerful general. Ironwood widens his eyes and increases his semblance to maximum to track the blur that is his foe.
He manages to track Jaune and readies the rockets. He loads two to make sure if the first misses he has a back up. Jaune sees this and smirks as he knows what to do to ready the stalling.
He goes stock still as Ironwood prepares both missiles much to the shock of the audience and to his foe. Ironwood asks him, "What are you doing? I have a pair of rockets ready for you! You better dodge and get out of the way!"
Jaune tsks to Ironwood as he goes, "Yeah I know you have two rockets, and I also know that the blast radius will just blast me off my feet if I dodge and ruin my next attack. So let's see what is better! My extended kite shield that was reforged with the effort, blood, sweat, and tears of my guild. Especially one girl named Ruby Rose! Or your mass produced rocket launcher! Besides that my armor and sword were forged in the same way Ruby and I discovered! Let's see how your rockets fair against my friends design. After all they saved me from your first rocket!"
Off in the hidden spot where she is standing by Ruby is happily crying tears of joy and says, "My work is being recognized!"
Yang beside her smirks as she is readying the new gear she has from Jaunes store before she hears a loud gasp from Ruby who is looking at her inbox form Beacon chat forums from Students. Ruby has suddenly gotten 50 new forging commission orders from her peers. Ruby is crying louder now in happiness while her sister sighs in understanding and knowing at how her little sister finally feels more accepted by her fellow students.
They refocus on the fight as they hear through the shadows, 3 minutes left.
Everyone in their spots were tensing in preparation while Jaune got ready to end this fight and bring it to a close in the only way possible. The way a true champion of light should!
Jaune readies his shield as Ironwood readies his rockets and sees a large shine of aura coat the shields face and edges. He sighs as he thinks to himself, Typical first year, so cock sure of his aura, armor, and gear that he doesn't realize just how much it will hurt for him to be hit not by one but by two rockets of my personal design. Let's see how he likes this lesson from his peers about how wide and dangerous this world truly is!
Ironwood cocks his rocket launcher and shoots out the first rocket, quickly followed by the second rocket. He widens his eyes in shock before quickly closing them as a blinding shine takes over Jaunes shield and the rockets impact it. Two miniature mushroom clouds erupt from the impacts and Jaune is lost from view as the smoke and debris kick up and cover the arena once more.
James grits his teeth as he shields himself with his weapon and sighs as he gets his rocket launcher put away and readies his rifle again in case Jaune needs only one or two more small shots to finish his aura off. He waits for the screen to appear and the ringing in his ears stop as he is greeted not by the cheers of victory for Atlas but by the confused murmurs from both sides of the arena audience. He looks around confused as everyone has their eyes trained on the aura tracking board, drawing his eyes to it after a once over of the arena he is shocked into all thoughts stopping, by one simple fact he can't believe he sees.
Jaunes aura hasn't dropped at all by the amount he was expecting.
To block two personal rockets of the general was a possibility. To still be up and able to fight is unlikely but not unexpected. To use a bunch of aura, maybe at minimum 20% of his remaining would be plausible but not out of the realms of possible outcomes. What Ironwood and the audience were seeing though? That was deep within the realms of impossible.
Jaune was barely at 65% before the rockets hit. After they hit… he was only down to 63%. 2% drop?!?! Something didn't add up in the poor generals head.
Training his rifle at where Jaune should be, he slowly trembles and sweats as he turns pale in disbelief at what he is seeing in front of himself. He sees Jaune with his shield out, barely any movement from it, and the shield has apparently generated a large aura construct of the large shield knights tower shield in front of it. Completely protecting Jaune from the rockets as he has only a bit of dust in his hair and his armor is in the same condition. The blast didn't reach the blonde young man at all!
James has seen so many things. So many wonderful, horrific, and impossible things. But this takes the cake! Even his paladin mech suits would at least by missing a limb and some of the torso armor! Even Ozpin from their last match would need to use his barrier semblance and some defensive magic to withstand that! And that would still cost th eold wizard at least 20% aura!
Jaune lost 2!!! 2 fricking percent!!
Ironwood reloads his weapons quickly as Jaune makes a show of sweeping his shield to the side and hitting the dust off the face of it with his hands. He looks to the general who is looking flustered like nobodies business as he hastily reloads all his weapons and proceeds to prepare for round 2.
Jaune checks the time left. 1 minute and 15 seconds before Blake was in position. Just enough time to make his final gambit a flashy one so he scares Cinder, but still makes her think she has a chance against him.
Ironwood set his rocket launcher at Jaune only to see him making a show of breaking down the aura tower shield he still had up and the particles of aura is now flowing into his sword and making it glow as it reaches an extra 3ft in length making it closer to an old style cavalier hunting sword versus the claymore it originally resembled. Jaune raises the sword and Ironwood preps his rocket and launches it.
Jaune sees the rocket flying at him but to the shock of everyone he swung his sword downwards to clang into the floor of the arena. However at the apex of the swing where it was perpendicular to his body his sword launched not 10, not 20, not even 50, but 100 arrows of pure aura towards the general. The first 25 hit and explode the rocket. But also used their aura to smother the explosion. The remaining 75 fly towards James as he gasps and launches the remaining three rockets.
They each take out 25 arrows, and the mid air explosions take Ironwoods attention away from Jaune for just long enough for him to look back and widen his eyes in shock as the sword was no longer extended by the yellow light he saw when Jaune was using the arrow slash, it was now extended to having a pure white glow to it. Similar to the sword knights weapon form the first summoning.
He grits his teeth and readies his rifle as he tosses his rocket weapon to the side. However Jaune shocks the General once more by suddenly disappearing in a blur. James looks around trying to track Jaune but the boy is moving at almost 700 miles per hour! He couldn't catch him except for the brief after images that made him use up quick bursts of 3 shots per image he managed to catch a glimpse of.
Growling in frustration Ironwood misses it when the blurs disappear completely and he feels the presence behind him. He gasps and turns quickly bringing the rifle up to bear, only to have it suddenly kicked out of his grasp as Jaune does a swift chin kick to break the grasp Ironwood had on his weapon. Ironwood managed to activate the release button so his revolver breaks away from the rifle mecha shift mode and go back to a handy close range weapon once again. He closes in with Jaunes slash approaching and gets ready to fire. Only to suddenly feel 25 slashes hit him across his body from head to toes as Jaune slashes him without mercy or break.
James flies into the air from the force of all those hits hitting and breaking his aura so badly that as he lands, he feels the aura around him flicker and very nearly break apart. He glances at the screen showing he had dropped from his 93% aura left, all the way down to 1%. He shakes in anger at his weakness as the arena cheers.
Jaune approaches the downed general while making a show of having his aura read as 31% left from that match as everyone claps and cheers and hollers for such an amazing match between two guild masters.
Jaune goes to James and is about to bend down to give him his hand as they all suddenly hear a voice cackle over the intercoms.
Cinder in all her glory appears on the main monitor and looks at the confused and rather concerned arena goers who were unsure if this was part of the presentation of the Vytal festival or not.
She goes into her monologue, "Well done! Jaune arc! What an upset! Your guild managed to wipe out the best and longest running guild from Atlas so quickly! And so easily… honestly it was a bit boring to watch from my end as I could tell that your guild were all at minimum A ranked fighters. Oh yes you can hide your strength, but you can't hide all of it! That makes you as the guild leader the youngest S ranked fighter I have ever seen! And while that is impressive on its own. It has its own bad news… That means the strongest General in Atlas, has lost to a young man who barely turned 18 and who has barely reached S rank maybe a week or two ago! What an embarrassment!"
Ironwood grits his teeth in anger at that as she laughs evilly. People were starting to grow concerned at this as they slowly realized that this was, in fact, NOT part of the festival.
They could barely hear the professors in the back ground trying to counter hack Cinder and get her off the screen, but with very little success.
Cinder ends her laugh and goes back to her speech, "Oh but in all seriousness, you have been a thorn in my side Jaune Arc! Taking out the white fang! Capturing Roman Torchwick! Ending my supply of mutated Grimm from Dr. Merlot! That last one was just annoying!"
Jaune looks genuinely confused as he stealthily brings out a high tiered aura recovery potion and tosses it to Ironwood. The general looks to Jaune confused as he points to his own potion and drinks it, letting it flicker and show the general that it brings his aura to full power. James drinks it and feels his aura shoot up from the 1% he had all the way up to 81% now. He looks to Jaune shocked as Jaune motions to his discarded weapons and mouths to him, 'Grab your gear. You'll need them.'
The confused man nods but collects his gear anyway as Cinder is still distracted from finishing her speech as she is heard doing an off screen rant about how annoying Jaune has been to her plans. Jaune side eyes his shadow where he sees a pair of eyes from Iron and Igris looking sheepishly at him going, 'We… Will explain later. Short version is we found a lab on an island with mountains using the scouting from the archers and wyvern squads on your day off with lady Neo… and kind of took it upon our selves to end the lab for testing mutations of Grimm.'
Jaune thinks it over, shrugs, and then nods to himself as Cinder composes herself and returns to the screen ready to continue once again. He sends to his soldiers, 'Light punishment for going beyond orders, but also praise for doing well in taking out an enemy base without being asked after assessing the threat level. Great job my army.'
Jaune sighs to himself as he hears his soldiers cheering from within the world they had been forging within his soul as he refocuses on Cinder who had been being a blowhard and talking about how the academies were raising and training bullies and warriors with loose morals given how the festivals always ended with a few people severely injured, or in the case of one year, death. And how the kingdoms have been feeling so safe within their walls that it was time for a wake up call. As she ends this there is a loud screech from the grimm breach alarms as the guards over the intercom yell out, "WARNING THIS IS A LEVEL 10 THREAT LEVEL! REPEAT A LEVEL 10 THREAT LEVEL! ALL CIVILIANS ARE TO REPORT TO BUNKERS TO HIDE AND BE SAFE WHILE ALL HUNTERS AND SOLDIERS ARE TO AID IN DEFENSE OF VALE AGAINST THIS INCOMING THREAT."
Everyone who was a civilian immediately rushes out of their seats and run towards the exits to get to the bunkers in the city. Hunters rush to call for their lockers and weapon drop boxes while Jaunes hidden members are off to do their interference.
Jaune makes a show of readying his weapons as Cinder laughs evilly once more and says, "Good luck calling your gear hunters! I have already hacked the CCTV system! Your signals won't reach anywhe- eh?"
As she says this drop boxes of weapons, armor, and lockers full of gear all land in the arena and are quickly grabbed by said taunted hunters. They all look to Cinder with faces full of disbelief and are all basically asking, 'You were saying lady?'
Cinder sputters and yells out, "Well let's see how long you last once I have hacked your metal soldiers and unleash my army of 100,000 grimm on you all!"
The screen goes black as every one sweats at that number and they all rush to get to the bullheads and down to Vale.
Jaune smirks as he reaches for one of his archer units he left on Beacon academy itself while checking in with his friends for the other situations.
Jaune begins checking in as he is now appearing in Beacon courtyard through his soldier switch ability, he accidentally dragged ironwood with him who is looking very confused but also ready to fight as he is on his comms commanding his soldiers to control the skies as best they can, with Grimm flying in from all over the place dropping what look to be drop pods and even dropping in huge black water droplets that turn into limited grimm pools. He swings his sword as he calls out, "Hunters guild! Check in!"
Yang and Ruby answer from the ammo depot deploying extra gear and weapons to those who request them as they see Emerald rush in with a squad of what look to be bone covered grimm knights. She stalls at seeing them and readies her weapons while Ruby and Yang ready their new gear. They both yell out, "Ruby! And Yang! Armory secured!"
Emerald grins thinking she can keep them occupied from the armory by sending the squad by her at them and destroying it with her bombs. Only to go pale as light soldiers appear beside them, a pair of knights, archers, and healers all come out of the fires of the armory. Emerald grits her teeth knowing this wouldn't be easy.
Nora, Ren, and Weiss all call out as Mercury appears in the cafeteria ready to kill the civilians running and hiding in the bunker below this part of the academy. He stalls as he sees all three of them ready with another pair of each ground type unit Jaune has. He growls as his grimm knight units all appear by him through the doors. He calls out, "Look you are all A ranked, I am an A+ rank, and these knights are all easily A rank. How do you feel about surrendering and I'll keep you all alive while playing with the girls as we can all survive this invasion and not lift a finger to worry about it?"
Ren goes deathly silent as he glares at Mercury so hard that he makes the assassin shiver in pure fear. Mercury is confused as Ren points to him and yells out, "Ren, Nora, and Weiss at the cafeteria all set! And Mercury is mine to destroy!"
They all rush towards the now very scared assassin as the battle begins at this area of Beacon.
Jaune shrugs and prays Ren will leave Mercury alive to pay for his crimes, but if he doesn't… oh well no skin off his nose for pissing off his brother when talking about said brothers Fiance like that. Or his fiance for that matter either.
Now we was actually hoping that if Ren did kill mercury, that it would be painful and long.
He refocuses as he hears SLVR check in from the city with their remaining guild members, currently fighting off all kinds of grimm and grimm knights with the mechs and soldiers helping them make a solid defense line.
He looks to the skies as the wings of countless flying grimm darken the air.
He tells Ironwood, "I have back up for your flying units! Remember! The dragon like units are my allies!"
Ironwood nods and goes to make the announcement but stops in shock and double takes to Jaune, as Jaune calls forth his entire legion of Wyverns along with their Hero unit Kaisel.
His shadow extends as his eyes glow pure white as he calls out, "All soldiers to your prince of light!!"
His shadow explodes with light blinding and burning the incoming grimm allowing their friend units to take a few hundred down before the grimm recovered and resumed their assault.
Jaune is surrounded by his soldiers and commands them, "Defend beacon!"
With a roar Jaune charges forward as he checks in with his final members.
Blake says, "Don't worry Jaune! We have the walls!"
Jaune wonders about that, "The walls?! How do you have them all covered?"
Blake smirks and yells out, "Cerulean Fang! Show the world we are no longer the white fang! And that we are indeed hear to equalize the races by being one blade! One shield! One force! Attack all grimm!"
Jaune hears Nydus worm grimm screaming in pain through the link as he smirks at Blakes plan. Guess she managed to use her parents status and her personal strength to guide the white fang on the right path.
He goes to refocus as he hears Pyrrha and Ozpin check in, "We are done here Jaune, and we are going to be waiting for that false maiden bitch for doing this to these poor women!"
Jaune nods as he sees a flow of red Magic and green magic fly from the bottom of beacon academy to the armory where a certain blonde bombshell give out a whoop and a large explosion erupt from there. Along with a long and pained scream from a certain emerald haired assassin. The green magic flies up to the top of Beacon tower and glows allowing him to feel Pyrrha grow in magic ability through their shared bond through the soul linked gear he gave her.
Jaune smirks as they are making good headway and focuses on his fight.
