"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary. The dead of midnight is the noon of thought Some times there is no darker place"
_______________________________________________
As black dragon with dark Fire as Could be seen everywhere around the entire area as everything in his vicinity was being burned down by that corrupted and as dark fire as it destroys and burns as whatever it touches as that is All he can or he could see in the end of every loop as it was that very some fire All over again and all around him again and again as it just kept on repeating itself.
As he could still see an very familiar looking people as he could see that very same dark dragon and it very evil fire was now dancing around him as it was just taunting him as trying to just consuming everything around him as well his soul now as it "Nora!!! Ren!!! Noooooo!!!" He just screams as he can sees the very colors of familiar looking green and pink as it was like his close friends as they were just burn by the dark flame's together as they just while embracing each other in the end as they know it was there very end now.
As then he saw an very much an very much familiar looking house as well as it was now just falling down on the cold ground as it's was just started to just collapsed behind him now as the location and his surroundings as it just changed and as he just turned around just in time and saw that that very fire from before was burst out of the broken windows of the house as he saw who was inside the very house and as they were the people who just raised him as it was his very own family now as they all were being burned away by the dragon very dark flame's as well and it's very surrounding was just black as coal now as his very own much surrounding was just getting destroyed and as it was consumed by the black flame now completely as knight as doesn't know what to do now as he was just.
"No !!! Mom ! Dad !! Hold on I am coming to save you all !" As the knight started to yells as the warrior started to running towards the place as he knew them to be safe at that place as it was supposed to be safe but Yet he was just knocked off his feet as when he just confronted the wall of flaming in front of him now as then an pillar of fire was now behaving weirdly as it was showing a face of an then black hair with beautiful as a young looking women now was standing in front of him as he has seen her before as she was in as his dream's and his very nightmare as well as she was the main cause of his very much of his suffering now as she always is smiling towards him as it's make him angry.
As it was now looking at him as it was now just starting laughing at him as he was now getting angry just looking at it and started to punch it with his very fists on the wall as it did burn him at first but he kept on going as the pian was gone as he was getting more used to it as he was now just boosting his very aura and his semblance as pushing it further to it limit as he started to surpass it very much limit's now as then before as he was now punching with his fist's more with left and right as then left and right then left and as right more as he kept on punching it with as more dedication and ferocity in his very own punches as it was starting to hurt his skin and hands as they might be broken as the more he punches the wall as he knew.
But he did not care at all as he just kept on punching it hard as he did not care about the pain that he was receiving from it as he would not let her destroy his life as he will keep on fighting her no matter the cost as he kept on punching it and trying to break free as then the flames were getting harder to Punch by the minute as it was even getting hotter as time by as then but All of a sudden they entire pillar started falls in front of him now as it just started to disappear In front of him now as this was confusing him but he then let out a scream like a roar in the wild.
As it was Dazedly struggling to stand up, as then the knight just turn around as he heard a sound behind him as the very knight was saw something very familiar as the streaks of some blues and whites from the corner of his eyes now as he was turning around as he was Turning back around fast and as he just kept seeing nothing behind him as then he did it again nothing as he kept on doing as it to the out of some weird space as he could recognize another familiar color in this very burning hell of him as he saw someone that as knight did used to know her as long time ago in his life as she was as Weiss schnee a girl as he did used to have a crush as during his academy days but that was as before he realized the truth that he was an idiot back then going after the wrong person as he just considered her a acquaintance now.
As just then it just burst into flames After it's started to touched her skin as dark flames was now just consuming her more than as the minute passed by He tried to touch her to heal her and try to save her but it was all gone as she just disappeared completely at as the flame stopped raging on but the body has completely disappeared away as there was nothing but Ash remaining as her very weapons were left behind as he failed again to save as someone close to him as it did the same to his other friends as when will it just stop very rampage in It's surroundings now.
But then as his surroundings were changing again as it was now an snowing forest as it was snowing around him as knight can still Feel the burning ashes and as its very smell around him as something was still burning the trees around as knight could hear the very screams of many people that he knows as when he was young and he was stationed at Atlas as he still just remembered very day When it all went down as how he lost friend on the bridge and so many people with it as it was all nothing but burning away as they were just dying left and right as she led an entire grim invasion as how she destroyed just everything around her as she marked him as nothing but a failure and a loser.
"Weiss." As He Just whispered out the words so softly as he was in agony as well he was angry at his very shortcomings at his own abilities and skills at his own faults again as an and just again as the people are dying on his watch now and he is still not able to save them as he could not protect them as he was truly not capable enough to do very well in this very line of work now as so as his father always knew the truth and he was right but the knight was so prideful and idiot to just realize that he was right and he was wrong now and he should have listened to his very own father now and stayed back home now.
As at the time as who thought that he can do anything and achieve something in his life as he went to be a hero like his family was in the past as saving hundred of people but in reality as he was just nothing as he let the people down more because of his very own shortcomings now as he should be a shame with himself now as he has failed everyone now as he knows the truth now that knight should have never followed as his friends in there very own journey now as he can't do anything now and he couldn't helped them and help to back them up in their fighting as well as he can't save and protect anyone else
As knight was an lost cause in the end and as he should have done something and just anything to defend that dragon now as at all as his very own friends as they would have been better of without him to begin with as he was just a failure of a man as he should just quite but he can't give up now Not now Not after Not now Not after this deep in the war now as he needs to kill and defend her as he can dead in peace At least a little more
before he let out his very own frustration as he then started to punching the very ground beneath him hard as he kept on going now as left and right now as he was destroying it as much of the ground below him as his fist were being broken by the debris now as his very own blood was spelling around as then his semblance was kicking in and as it was now healing his injuries more it were being broken by the debris again by his punching now as his very own blood was now spelling more around him as then his semblance was kicking in more and as it was now healing his him as he kept on repeating this method and remembering everything that as he has now done with his life his failures and as his very own shortcomings now as knight was beyond frustrated now as he just then let out a scream like a roar in the wild.
As the knight has destroyed the ground with his own bare hands now as just everything around him now was started to just change again as he was panting hard as he was just tired by now but then he suddenly started to hear something very familiar as he tried to concentrate even more than before as He was hears a rustling and crackling sound as that was coming from his front direction of him as he looked up as with his blood rage eyes as he was looking at someone that was now in front of him as it was someone as he used to know back in the days and as he was promptly sees his very best friend now from beacon academy day's as it was Ruby rose as was the small girl with the an very much big dreams of her own now that she just wanted to be the hero Just like him but as there was one thing that he knew that He wasn't tough and he wasn't strong like her as she was and as she can become the hero that she always wanted to be in the end and as she did came the hero and saved everyone from Atlas to Mistral to the world She will be the greatest hero ever as he was truly nothing in the end as Those four girls matter the most as they are the light that the world needs as knight is truly nothing a burden as he should have never have existed in their world to begin with as he can live with that but can knight truly be that What he wants as he wishes.
As she was wearing her red hood that was gifted by her uncle as it was maintained by her as it was same fabric that her mother used to wear as it was one of the few things that was left of her and her gifts and as she then as Looked at him as with her hollow very silver eyes as she had a disappointing look on her face as she then had as her back toward form him as knight was tried to as follow her but he just fell down as she just kept on walking away from him as she was still disappointed in him again as knight has failed to safe her own friend's her team her family her people as it was all his fault all this time for his very shortcomings as it was hunting him failing him as the knight was an very much disappointment in there eye's.
As he was trying to chase her and as stopped her in her tracks as knight kept on falling as it was hard for him to get up and walk now as he just kept on calling her name now as " Rudy wait up please wait !!!!!! " She did not respond back to him and As he tried to run after her but knight couldn't stand up as the very snow was so thick as that the knight as couldn't run at all as he kept on falling down on the cold and hard ground in front of him.
" Hi Ruby wait up just wait up please, just don't go just !!!" as Jaune just whispers with tears in his eyes now as knight just kept fall down now Reaching out his hand to reach her "Please don't leave me alone here again" as the very knight try to grab on but it is just too late for him now as when she just turns around and says those very much words.
"I'm sorry jaune." A feminine voice says to him as She suddenly disappeared into the forest as everything started to change again as he could remember Tower At the highest peak as it was burning down as he could see someone he used to know he used to love as she was in impaled by an arrow as another dark and red figure as Golden eyes stared at him as she started to smile towards him and then disappeared completely as everything was going straight to hell as everything was burning His world was burning down as he was losing everything again because of her.
As Suddenly as knight isn't seeing his very friend Ruby rose now anymore as he can see familiar looking Green emerald eyes framed by red hair stare at him sadly before turning into ash in front of him as he could say one word at that very moment as it everything was now spinning out of control in front of him As you crawl down onto the ground as memories and of his failures of the deaths of many their screens and everything he could hear and see everything in front of him as one word could be spoken that very second.
"PYRRHA!"

THE WORLD OF EVER AFTER
POV
As then the Rusted Knight just get up from his bed as he was garps for some air at the very moment as he just sudden wants as too just screams into the very area again as very much as the knight was just panicking at the moment as he looking around his very own surroundings as he was looking for his very own enemies as he did imagined that knight will be surrounded by his enemies as he had just wake up from his nightmare as he was just looking around him as in the very least process as he was in a hut and he was laying on a his makeshift bed now as he was now just started to remember that he was at his home now and this was place he build with his friends in ever After now as a very long time by now.
As knight was having an panic attack just as now as he had just been having some of the these very discovering for some time now as he was now calming down by the very least moment now as he did not just realize as he just disturbing his very own loyal steed's as it was just rest beside him in the very hut of his now as in the process he was now awake and Looking around it's surroundings as it was getting prepared to fight some one now.
As the knight just get in to actions as he just grabs on to his old family swords as it was sit just beside his very bed frame and as he just started to jumps into his two feet as he was in an battle stance now as he was now just ready to leap into battle against his own opponent but as It takes a minute or five to then understand the situation as then few moment of just silence as before he is able to calm down fully as first and then knight Started to put back his very sword in to his sheathes as he just stumbled back onto the bed as he was just putting his hands on his face as the realization is that it was all just a nightmare and he just acted on his reflexes again as he put as the sword back on the side of the bed frame and as Jaune started to facings his very own steed and his very own friend juniper now.
"I'm just sorry, Juniper it just us and it was my nightmare again as I am sorry to disturb you when you are sleeping now as It's just you and me now as There all gone now ." He says forlornly as he was now just putting his hand on his loyal mount body as Jaune was now soothing his loyal mount as he did just remember that to sheathes his very broken sword now before going to his bed now.
As before he did go back to sleep jaune just looked around his very own surroundings as Jaune sees the remains of his only refuge that his friend's in ever since help build in this world as he still remember that day as when he fell to this gods-forsaken world of ever after as it is almost fifteen decades ago as he is still counting his day's in this land now as he looked around to see his Broken furniture now in his house as from his rage alone and his very own outburst at time's as because of his very own failure in the past now as he still remembers it as knight can see the Very own Holes in his the very walls of his home and some from him personally as when he punched them in frustration at times as The very much wooden doors was just smashed in by his mount as with their frames was in pieces as just to let Juniper in.
As Jaune just sighed as he just decided to as take a stroll outside his house to change his mind a bit as it as then Jaune started to get up instead decided to walk towards his door as when he did as the knight just saw the as the usual view as outside his little world of his now and as it's very own forest and as it's very much habitants as whole well now.
As he just kept on slowly walking outside to the open air around him as he did like the forest of Ever after as it was refreshing as it did remind him a bit of his home and as his very own time in beacon as well as then he started to look at to the side as then his own facial expressions started to change as Jaune was feeling a bit sad as he saw something as it did remind him of one of his other failures recently in this world as knight just looked at the remains of the Paper Pleaser's Village.
As he still remembers that very day as it all happened as how did the one people as that he has to call them people as in a very way as they might be made of paper as Who is he to judge as they were at least still breathing and very much talking being with somekind of intelligence as presence with them as that is one of the best lessons as Jaune Arc as did learned in as this world is that never judge a book by its cover as how may they look or as they might even just behave as they mights be different as they are still living being as they were the one who decided to help him in as his very crucial moment in life now as they did save him as When he was poisoned by Alex herself now a few years by now as the last time he saw her and her brother as they were just leaving with the Curious cat.
As his mount Juniper as well just joins him as she just started to maneuvers her way across his very broken house now as she was walking towards him now as she was now standing by his side now as the both of them together as a pair now as Jaune was started to feels a bit of calmer then before and as he reminisces the events of last few days now as It was still a mystery for him.
As rusted knight Jaune Arc as just he doesn't know as how did it just started or happened in his watch now as one day he was sleeping peacefully in his home now as then he just suddenly just woke up in the middle of the night as he can smell something weird as it was the smell of something burning as he just quickly wake up and as so did juniper his very Mount as at the moment as both of them as ran outside there hut as quickly as possible as they just saw and he did found something they both could not believe at all.
As they both did find the very much Paper Pleasers as whole Village that was made of paper and wooden now as it was just on fire now as he don't understand at all as it all as just how is this all even happening now as Jaune Arc made sure that the fire would not even ignite as if they try to do so as he made sure as there were many safety protocols for everyone to follow and perform then started to take some action in the situation as Jaune and his mount juniper started to jump in to actions as they run into the burning village but as the very much matter as It didn't just end there very situation as of course now.
As Jaune Arc just tried to save everyone in the very village now but things were not going as planned for him or as a situation was now getting more worser by the few seconds now as the houses were all fully as made of entire paper and wood as it was all comfortable and good from inside and out as it has a downside It was all flammable at best as well and it was now time that very flames as it was been setting everything on everything in it vicinity as the fire spreading it far and wide around the villages and by as the minute passed by As Jaune was trying to locate his friends and his true saviors but he couldn't see anything at all has smoke was everywhere as his vision was getting cloudy and as he couldn't breathe at all but he was still holding on to his own breath and as his very own senses now as Jaune Arc needs to complete his duty to protect them as they had saved him He must save for them back as they are the very reason that he is alive today and in good health as he was trying to locate and call out to his friends but to his horror none of them answered back at all.
As smoke was getting thicker by the seconds as it was hard to see anything now and that It's surroundings and structure was getting burned by the very flame's now as together It was burning the villagers one by one as it was consuming them as they were trying to say something to him as he's just ignore that and continued to do his job as Jaune tried to grab onto them but he failed to save them as they were getting burned away as even the houses debris was now falling down upon them and as it was even blocking his way to escape now as well and closing off any roots and rooms of saving them and himself at all.
As Time has want by every moment in there as it was an eternity for him now as for the very knight was starting to get low burns by the fire around him as it was surrounding him completely making sure that he cannot escape at all as it was now planning on just consuming him with the village as well and as Jaune was even getting a little dizzy by So every moment went to by as he did thought that this is the end for him as he should just accept his very fate now as the world might be better off without him as Jaune has done enough already now as his father was right about him in the past as Jaune should have not leave his home as he should have never chosen to become a huntsman as he was a failure It was too much for him to handle as now his vision was starting to fade itself as he will accept his fate now finally as he can rest now completely as he has done his duty.
As knight couldn't breathe at the moment at all now as it was Time to rest but then when Jaune started to feel something as the debris around him was getting lifted away or a just getting pushed over by something or by as someone completely as Jaune saw it was no other than his mount juniper as Jaune could hear her very voice now as she was calling out to him as it was being lifted and pushing over him as the very debris was gone now as a few minutes later as The Rusted Knight was being pulled back by his loyal Mount.
As after a few minutes later as he could see his surroundings again as everything were just burning away now as he saw his mount and friend juniper as she was standing on her four legs now as she was above him as she was tried to grab onto him by here very mouth at his shirt collar and then drag him out of the house over debris as she did then exactly that as He started to cough violently as he then saw and said one thing " juniper you came to save me" as the mount started to nodded at him as then It was signaling him to get on her now as They need to leave now as there was nothing here. As Jaune kept on looking around as he was trying to see if there are any survivors at the very village around here but he knows the reality that they might be dead as they were made of paper and this is fire it would have burned them they by now and as Jaune can't save them now as Jaune has been just too late now but at least he can at least now just escape and check for surroundings as other inhabitants didn't get get infected or caught in the fire storm as well.
As it was now became too much hard as for him to very much handle this much at once now it as Jaune had tried to settled it down a bit but the entire matter was too much for him to handle on it's own as he was trying to save at least some of them by now But it was No avail at all as how much Rusted knight as tried as it just becoming more worse by the minute passing by and now it was even that became impossible at this point as he tried to save just one but even then he failed now.
As Jaune was started to ride his mount as he was seeing the whole carnage that was now in front of him and destruction around him as the entire village was just burning and he couldn't do anything to save it but jaune was now in the center of the village as trying to find something anyone but then as he heard something as he knows what that sound is and it is not good at all as he looked towords the north side off the wall and saw it then.
As then saw something as It all just ended in that very moment with the tower of pebbles that the paper Pleasers made as it was now falling down into the dam that was nearby it very much location of the very village now and it then trash down upon it as it did just releasing all of that stored water inside of it and as it did help in extinguish the very fire and but then just now starting to wash him and everything away in it's very much path now as Jaune and juniper were in it's very much path now as He only survived because as Juniper did her very best and carried him out of the water and to safety as well now.
As we can jaune Arc as he was standing with his mount juniper by his side as the both of them were just Staring at the remains of the Paper Pleaser's Village, as the very sight that greets the Rusted Knight is a newly-formed lake with a bits of burned wood and paper floating on top of it as it was the signature that is left behind as that they used to be a village around here made of paper as Jaune knows the very much reality that as he just did failed again saving no one at time again.
After all these years of fighting and survival and everything as he still can't be a hero as he wants to be In the end as Jaune knows he should feel a little devastated, angry, or sad by this now but instead as the Rusted Knight was just feeling one thing and that was tired as He was tired of saving them He was tired of his very expectations in life as he was just tired of being a good boy and follow orders as he was tired that he could do things in his life and make a difference as he was tired of everything in his life now as he was tired of losing everything he Once Loved and cared about as he was to tired to care now.
As All the tears and anger in him was and were already spent on as when he destroyed his very own home and as that fighting that very jabbawockee during his breakdown as he just feels nothing now but then now as it very crushing emptiness of the world which has left him alone again as Jaune just knew that as he can't fix anything jaune can't save anyone as he doesn't even know where his friends are now as what to do with his life now as he was just confused now as What is his purpose in this very world now and why is he even fighting for now and as Why is he even breathing now as What is he after as he knew he won't get a happy ending as he can't even deserve or achieve it as there was truly nothing for him to understand.
As the very knight just doesn't react at all as he was just standing there on the edge of the lake as knight just want to call out but word would not come out but he just did onething and doesn't move a muscle at all as knight was now just watches as the very debris of the villages house floats on by the shore of the lake now as knight looks at it silently as he was Taking into situation and what truly transpired here as he could not do anything at all He can only just sit down and watch.
But now as Jaune was tired of that as well as he is now getting used to it as for the very as sight of this situation now And maybe he is cursed then and it just took this long for him to realize and just remember the very least the truth now and as this feeling of his very failure now. "Just another failure to add to the list now." As Jaune just sighs to himself as he lets the silence of the area with wash over him now as he decided to sit down on as the ground now near the edge of the lake and just watch over it as he could see and as hear the sounds that it was making as Jaune just watched it in silence with his mount it was sitting beside him now.
But then jaune just heard an very familiar whine as it did snapped him out from his very somber mood and it did reminding him of the presence of one of his remaining close friends and that of his loyals mount beside him as who has not just left him in this very wretched place and as Juniper, is with her bright yellow eyes looking at him, pleading him just not to forget about her now as she started to put her paw on his shoulder now to remind him that he is not alone.
As he Look towards her and said "I'm sorry girl I am Just really not in my right mind as right now as I had a lot of thinking on my mind right now I just guess now What does our future holds as I don't know where to go or what to do now cuz we're dead end" as he just Told her the truth as he was old and he was in a dead end didn't know what to do now with his life as he knows one thing for certain as the only reason he never tried to kill himself was because he had juniper by his side as she always gave him hope in a very weird way but as jaune still did likes her company and as she liked his company as well now as When the first day jaune still remembers when he found her when as she was basically a cub injured in the forest as you decided to help her and she decided to follow him from that very day forward as it's been more than ten years by now to that day as Jaune was and is still amazed by her.
But Or maybe there is just nothing is on his very own mind alone now as Jaune did just apologize to her and started to rubbing her head affectionately and massaging her ears to comfort the animal as it started to put her head on his lap now as she was now resting on it absorbing the massage it was receiving.
As he was decided to go somewhere else as it would just change his mind a bit "Come on, girl as Let's take a look at the market." As he now just Turning around from the very least remains of his last and as only known refuge now as the Rusted Knight was going back to his home as he was planning on just picks up his very things now and then walk back to his home to sleep now as beside his trusty steed to safety as then a few night late as he was standing near the lake as he was just questioning himself as What transpired here and as What did cause all of this now.
🎧
As the knight standing there at the edge of the lake as he was looking at it as "What do you think happened here and did started all of this Anyways ?" As Jaune was throws out absentmindedly and thinking of ways how the fire could have started in the first place and Why didn't anyone answer him as he was now things about it as to take it of his mind now and as the crushing of the silence of the forest and lake beside him was now as disturbing him as Rusted hero started to question himself and his methods of safety.
🎧
"I think I can answer that one." As mystery voice just came from somewhere and then with that silence was now shattered by an very much familiar voice and At the same time the very much the empty feeling as he just had earlier now ? Yes It's was all gone now, and it was replaced by something that as he doesn't like about himself at all now at time's more potent in one word, it fury.
"You." As Jaune said it with an very much an flatly expression as knight started to just go and clenches his fist tight and jaune get up from as where he was now sitting from and turning around towards the forest and then started to walk there as he stopped in front a tree trunk was now as he was looking at the tree above him and saw a very familiar looking old friend or cat as knight really doesn't like at all as they were now staring at one another now. "Hello, old friend." The Curious Cat greets him genially, as if they haven't been enemies ever since Alyx left.
🎧
"I should have known it was you." As Jaune replies flatly back at him and jaune doesn't draw his sword or just throw his shield at his direction now and He's has learned and he did learn that enough to know that as the Cat won't be caught off guard by moves like that at all It can morphed self away and and then reappear as he can even go through the walls and go invisible at times as well now.
The Cat only grins at his inaction from his perch above the tree as it was sitting on and looking down on him "now Me ? I didn't do anything wrong now as It was all them after all This was there real wishes as well." As it the curious cat just told him as it can see as that the knights expression was changing as he was getting very angry at him and as he was just enjoying it now everysecond of it as the very curious cat has found himself an new hobby now to help torture the rusted of knight and hit him with logic as whenever time he gets as they have on their world on fire Anyways now.
As Jaune was now starting to get a little bit angry at him "Lies! The Paper Pleasers were predictable! And As They all had a schedule! Nothing on that schedule was a surprise fire in the middle of the night." As he said this to the curious cat as it was now Just smiling at him as it looked at him and commented"Oh? Then Maybe as they have just learned from there mistake then ?" As The curious Cat just says to him as in it's very sarcastically way of talking and as he was trying to riddle his way out of this again like always As he loves this very game that they play together.
"What did you do?!" As the rusted knight asked demonically at the curious Cat.
As the curious cat just kept on smile at him "Why, I just do and as I just gave them some kind of advice and some knowledge of there very own situation as They were so eager to hear and please by that so I felt I should be able to repay them with something back." As he told him but then jaune started to get more argue now "You gave them death !" As he started to shout out towards him as he was getting very angry at him but as The cat came on smiling at him and as cat just said two words to him "It's Ascension."
"Ascension is death!" As he Started to shout back at him as he cannot accept this as this is not a game Life is precious as it how can they kill themselves like this as the cat just started to roll its eyes and said " ho now just Please on the contrary to what as you might think or claim that Ascension is not the very death you think it is, Jau-".
"JUST DON'T CALL ME THAT !!!" As it the very knight just snaps at the cat and he was just glaring at the very Cat's and he did not like it words that just came out of his mouth.
As the cat kept an smile on his face and as it can see "...I apologize. But you still don't just believe me about Ascension? Here, just read this." As The curious Cat apologizes after a brief conversation before pause and as With all it's whimsical grace As the very curious Cat brought out a paper and throws it out as the piece of paper as it in which floats down from the tree to the knight hand gracefully.
As then very knight Started to reading it out aloud to push back the crushing silence as that he was feeling right now as he clenches his fist's tight now as an very tears start to form in his eyes now as Jaune did know just who wrote this now it was purple pleaser.
"To our hero and Firend the Rusted Knight and we the paper pleasers are going to offer Ascension now and as Please do not blame yourself for our Ascension now as we Know that we will be forever be grateful to you as everything you have done for us till now We love you and hope to meet you in our next life. Signed. Paper Pleasers."
As Jaune was taking a pause for this and to get his breathing under control again, as he looks back to the Cat hovering above him as now and it was still smiling at him "What is this? What is this next life?" He says flatly as in a manner as he want jaune to question to himself and him to now this is fun now.
"That? That's is called Ascension in as other words it's afterlife for us as Exactly what the letter says but as what did you expect now hero." As the Just curious cat just told him as Jaune was now started to look at the cat and as he want to asked him about more of this again with another question as answer now.
"The afterlife that You fed them to the Tree." As Jaune told him flatly as the curious Cat started to laugh as Then started float around him as he starter to explain him everything now as he was very much confused what this entire ascension is "Well it is ever after after all and this life but so you're right just about one thing that But the Tree? Ha! You just don't even know what it is now !" As he said this him.
As then knight turned around calmly and asked him one thing "Then tell me what it is then." As knight wants to know what is this truly and as what is this giant tree actually is It's very existence as he's been told stories by numerous beings around here but they still can't tell what is it exactly and as he still doesn't understand after so long either now.
As the cat started to shake his head in denial "Oh no, you won't believe me even if I told you. If as you really want to know what it is and what it does, then Why not I'll show you something instead I'll explaining it to you as you can come back here in a few hours and you'll see for yourself." As The curious Cat explain this to the night as started to float around him and as trying to see something now. "I just have no such time for your very games now cat." As The knight replies back at him and as he will be just knowing he'll be back here regardless of the Cats advise or not not seeing that it is his only home here.
As he started smile again and comment "Oh knight this isn't a game You'll see now Come back here in few hours then we'll talk again" The Cat whispers as it Started to disappear away as then rusted knight started to pack up his very stuff now and just decided to go and to the marketplace now with his mount juniper by his side as it made some sounds as and as Jaune just started to Look around his very surroundings before he started to pack up his equipment Started to ride off to the marketplace direction.
As the curious cat as he just reappeared on the tree again as he just silently watches the knight ride off in the distance of the horizon as he knew that today was the day as very much the being known as the rusted knight the hero of Ever after will know the truth of there world of ever after as how wrong as he will feel was truly and he might be able to claim what he wants as to verbs in as one stone Or it was too birds and one word as it something like that goes to the line.

As this was this world's true purpose now a place of magic and imagination where the impossible becomes the possible were born into it and then it scattered around as little butterflies and with together created a new bright world for the others to live in as well.
🎧
As the clashing of hammers could be heard as being known as the blacksmith who was working on a species around here that just passed to Ascension now has it stopped for a moment and looked up and saw something else as it was him "Hmmmm." As The being hums as it sets it's sights into one particular rusted knight arriving at the Garden Acre.
As he and his mount Arriving at the market place inside the Garden Acre as Something was different about him as he was not feels the same things as before as it can sense its very presence and his very much emotions as something was different now as he isn't rushing to meet the deadline and the very much the schedules like usual as in order to protect the Paper Pleasers Ever Aftereuns.
As It was now feels...a little free and freeing in a sort of empty way now as Purposeless at best and That's the word he's looking for now as It might have lost all of his will and his purpose to fulfill in this world now as he is just riding away as there's nothing else to left for him to do now as One of the people pleasers decided to This other friends in as Ascension now Just a few days ago as it was a long process but now it is nearly complete there very own ascension was completely.
But now it was understand the situation of the knight perfectly as he was built to be a hero and without the very Paper Pleasers or other beings as similar to them to protect he doesn't have anything to do anymore other the than laze around and wait for...for his friends know as Team RWBY as before the two of them come to him sometime age as Those two did some damage but it was for the benefit of the Ever After as Very much future and it's habitants in total as it still remembers one of them made it out while the other one stayed back as it even knows her fate as well by the cats paw in the end.
As for knight as he was riding off as he was looking around the Grand acres as there's was any threat towards the inhabitants by the jabberwocky or problems that he could solve for them all but for his luck as there were none and then he thinking about his current situations as what will he just do now after as what did just transpired with the curious cat and the paper pleasers as it was right to trust that curious cat as he did mislead him Many times and even tried to push him off the bridge some time ago as it even had its paw's in the whole Alex and Lewis's situation as well and curious cat did many things to him in the past If jaune Arc remembers carefully and observed by now.
As curious cat did likes to just riddle his way through situations sometimes now and as he was thinking that what if the curious cat is as was actually telling the truth then what was as he the one depriving them up there very success as he was the villain in the end kept on denying them of their true fate and destroying what they could become as he just became like his own father and so many other people who never believed in him as was as he was at the wrong and did not let them achieve their very goal in the end.
As The thought just suddenly jolts energy into as his brain for an instant only for it to bleed away as a few minutes later as Jaune then taught as what does this makes him in the story then as He'll wait for Team RWBY to arrive here for how long and If jaune did find them and help them escape this land as then what ? He'll drag them down again? It's not like he's actually have found a way out of this nightmare of a realm by now as well You need to still find them as they haven't fallen by now as it was his own fault he's in this situation to begin with If he did not pick up that damn time fruit things would have been better as Jaune thought maybe but just who cares now what's done is done now He needs to move on as knight is just tired now that's what he can think of now.
As the very realization just forces his mind down and in thinking now deep into darker thoughts of his mind that he has been too hard on himself lately maybe jaune wasn't meant to be the hero of the story as Maybe those four girls were true heroes and he was some fake who was just getting in their way time by time as maybe it's time to move on as he needs to find those girls and help them escape and maybe he could stay here as this is his new home as he spend fifteen years of his life in this place anyways as maybe as it's his time to finally give up and just accept his own fate now as no one will or can save him
As then he was now looking down to ward his very hands as the knight thinks of his very failures by now as he couldn't defend beacon Academy as he couldn't defend his home as He couldn't defend his people He couldn't defend his love Pyrrha Nikos and He couldn't defend Penny and all the people he failed to save in Mantle and Atlas as now he couldn't defend his friends in Ever After he couldn't defend the paper pleasers now.
He is so deep in his thoughts that he doesn't realize that the market is being covered in darkness. He only notices the change when the darkness washes over him and suddenly he is being blinded by bright yellow light.
🎧
CLANG !!!
As the sound of hammer colliding against a very metal as catches his attention as Jaune was turning to the sound with his arms up in his shield as he raised it just to cover his very eyes, as knight saw a glint of an bright green light coming from a nearby wall. The source? A bright green metallic blade that has freezes the as knight's body to his core now as it was a weapon that used to belong to a certain girl that he used to know as he always respected her as liked her company as he had to murder her on the bridge as to save so many others and to make sure she did not get her powers as well as it was a very poisonous memory of his it always did brought nightmares to him as What he did.
"Does that interest you now knight ?" As an very melodic voice just called out to him as it gained attention again as Jaune started to look around his very surroundings and saw nothing but darkness he doesn't realize that the market is being covered in darkness. He only notices the change when the darkness washes over him again and suddenly as the knight is just being blinded by bright yellow flares off the furnace as even the hammers very blind collision against it again as again.
CLANG !!!
As the knight started to flinches at the very sound, again as he reached out his hand at the very green blade as he touched it as all of a sudden jaune could remember and he could feel all the emotions inside of it as He was holding it as for a glimpse as jaune just saw someone as he never thought he would ever see again In this lifetime It was Penny as she was smiling at him As she was now reaching out her hands and as grabbing his face and then making him smile with her thumbs up on his mouth and said just one thing "smile"
As he was now back to his senses as knight could see that he was now holding the green sword by its hilt and aiming it at the source as then what greets them his sight is a being silouheted by a bright light casting shadows dark enough to obscure its face as jaune just wants to reaches his hand to a another one of the blade on the display now but as jaune couldn't as He was being too attractive at the very green blade as he didn't know what to do now.
"I...uhh..thought this thing was lost forever as hoe do you have this now ?" As the very knight just answered her as he printer ally over whelemd by the object from a distant past now as Jaune never realized it It was this beautiful and he never gets to see this type of weapons anymore in his whole life.
CLANG !!!
" NO That is where you are wrong now as nothing, and no one is ever truly lost and alone forever." As The being knows as the blacksmith just to chuckles as it hammers an object lying on top of the very anvil now as Jaune started to think to himself as what does this mean for him then 'No one is lost forever, huh? Tell that to the list of all the people I have just has failed over the years now.' He thinks to himself at the very moment as just then as he saw a reflection of his friend Penny on the very sword now as He flinches at the sudden sight of blood on his hands again which only for it to just disappear as when he opens his eyes.
As the blacksmith just started it stare at him as It was kept on hammering the very object in front of him "You disagree?" The being asks, still not turning towards him as It was nearly complete it's one of him new project and It will still make a new standing.
CLANG !!!
"It's just that I've lost a lot of things already and just lost a lot of people already now Its hard to think otherwise." He answers as he started to sets down the green blade down on the table in front of him now as he face the blacksmith like being as it kept on just hammering down the object for him "Hmm And then what about you now ? Are you lost as well now ?" As The being asked him.
CLANG !!!
As with that kind of question for the first time in his life he was Take it back as is he just a little lost Maybe "What? No...I'm...I'm not..I don't know or Not sure myself now."
As The being asks, still not turning towards him as It was nearly complete "Hmmm..... then perhaps you are actually currently lost in your path and as You seem to be carrying a as rather large burden with you in the very much process." As it told the rusted knight as he was taken a back.
CLANG !!!
As Jaune was thinking at his statement and started to realize this situation better now "I guess you could just say that, yes, just yeah. But as I don't know what to do anymore in my life now ." As Jaune told the blacksmith the truth about his whole situation now.
"Then perhaps you could do one just lay down your burdens and as choose any of other path these are suitable to you now." As The being advised him and it was still not turning towards him as it told him.
CLANG !!!
As he was taking aback by her explanation and advice towards him "What? But I did already have a weapon with me now but it was been broken since a long time ago since I got here in the ever after" as knight just let out an explanation why he would not carry and doesn't need another weapon around him as this weapon has more of a history with his family than himself now.
As The being just nodded his head at him as then it was still not turning towards him as it told him. "And yet here you are in this world and Searching for something you don't even know and have Perhaps you'd like to get another weapon now ? Or fix what you currently have now ?" As it Told him as that is a really broken sword right there and it needed to be fixed or replaced.
CLANG !!!
But For him now as some reason now those very much words has just land heavily on the knight thinking state as he was Unable to discern the hidden meaning of the very question he was asked by it as knight looks around his surroundings and notices he's in a weapons shop. Eventually his eyes land on something that freezes his heart in the place and his very own cools his blood to ice now.
CLANG !!! CLANG !!! CLANG !!!
The hammer keeps on falling and colliding against the metal as he stares into a bronze sword and shield just above him and as he was Just frozen as it was belonged to some one Who was very much precious towards him as the one person He could never bring back no matter how many steps jaune might take as She made him what he is today as she is not here with him as she should have been at least he could have their own happy ending after all.
Jaune
And then just all suddenly jaune very much own surrounded by a bright white light! The next thing he knows he's laying down in the ground in the Grand acres as Jaune can just recognize the very place as he was looking around him As Jaune saw his trusted mount standing beside him as it was now hovering above him as Juniper was little worriedly as nudging him with her nose now as She had just blacked out for a moment there and has everything started to change for a moment when they came forward they were here in the middle of the marketplace as no one did just stopped to check on them.
As his very own Instincts born of years in this world now has him leaping into action and scanning his surroundings by now as He actually hate that goddamn jabbawocker as it will sneak up on you and try to take a bite out of you as it did once in the past and he had to make sure he killed the rest of his buddies Yeah he wasn't alone They used to be more than one around here as he had to make sure he took care of them personally.
As Jaune sees himself back in the middle of the marketplace while the Afterans do their business as usual with none of themselves just noticing his very own sudden lapse of consciousness. Perhaps it is a testament to how much bullshit he has been through that He was now hallucinating and as what next in his life now Will he just be getting himself drunk and then accidentally getting married to people now as he only sheathes his sword and sighs as he continues his day As usual.
As weird as that encounter was, it changes nothing for the knight. He's still lost in this world. The Paper Pleasers are still gone. And he still needs to get supplies and furniture to replace the ones he destroyed last night.
"Come on, Juniper. Let's get what we need and go back home as I'm planning on fishing today so what are your thoughts." As Jaune gently started to pats his very loyal friend of his and continues on with his day.
Do you believe in destiny
In the dark void of the Great Tree, the being of metal and magic as patiently just watches the knight through a shining portal as green orbs float around it has as it can tell he can be the better version of himself and achieve what he always wanted to be and he will be one of the greatest legends and hero around their very worlds now as He is a knight who protects the weak the one who will save the world but right now he is lost He just needs a little guidance and a very much push the right direction now till then he needs to be as the hero that this world needs right now and as to his friends that are arriving soon enough here.
CLANG !!!!
"Hmmmm. Perhaps you're not as lost as you think you are just yet." The hammer keeps on falling and colliding against the very metal As There's a pause for minutes now as before a singular orb flits up to its view."Now, what do I do with you?" The being asks as it holds a hand up for the orb to land on as a familiar color at best.
No reply was communicated to the being as know as the blacksmith but an answer was still reached "Something more durable as then now." As It chuckles as it lays the orb down on its anvil before raising its hammer.
CLANG !!!!!!

WORLD OF EVER AFTER
FORMAL PAPER PLEASER VILLAGE
DAY UNKNOWN
POV
As the rusted knight was now just returning back from his errands back to his little hut or a cabin that his friends helped him build some time ago as it was more than a few hours now since he had a conversation with the blacksmith and that's very slight curious cat as it was time for him to go back to his home and rest as when he came back to that verification where the paper pleasers used to live as he found himself a very shocking situation " Ok What the f***** hell going on around here ?"
It is a testament to his patience as to even now how shocking the sight he is currently looking at that it managed to surprise even the Rusted Knight now as the very last thing he very expected to see after coming back to the ruined village and his home now was a freaking crystal palace standing on top of as then the lake with a beautiful bridge around it now and it was next to his house as well now "What is going on here now ?" As Jaune just whispers to his mount juniper as then she was just started slowly nodded in denial to in awe as he drops a sack to the ground.
"This is Ascension." The Curious Cat appears and hisses from behind him has it was now smiling as well it knew he won the deal as it did wait patiently ass he knew that in the right time He will come back to his senses and realize how wrong he was now as the cat knew that as he was doing this for the last he has lost count of it by now but for a very long time by now Apparently as this is as what his true purpose was from the very beginning as he was tasked by his very own God anyways as it watched him slowly.
"No..." He whispers softly, awe starting to turn into horror as what was he trying to do all this time as he wasn't helping them He was denying them off there free rights as he has become just like ironwood and like his father now as he wanted to be different but he turned out to be the same as them in the end as he can't accept this at all.
"Yessss...You know what you've done, what you've been doing All this time" It whispers maliciously circling the knight in order to avoid the jackalope behind him as he knew one wrong turn that jackalope is going to kick the s*** out of him as Jaune flinches at the silent as he just witnessed accusation as from the first time in his life now but before he could reply, as Jaune hears a somewhat familiar voice as he froze at that moment.
"Hello there, brave knight!" A dark purple star-shaped gem as started to approaches him now It had a basket in his hands or whatever those pointy things are called at this point as his heart gets stuck in his very throat at the familiar call. He looks at the being so familiar to one he interacted with just few days ago as His hopes as that they would remember him are dashed by as its following words after it.
🎧
"You look like a brave knight! Do you need some assistance?" It asks cheerfully towards him as it was too much for him to be bear this now as he had to ask the questions as well "just What are you now ?" As He asks hoarsely, trying to stop himself from crying.
As then suddenly the red gem approaches from the other side to answer his question now as he recognized this one as well now.
"We are the Genial Gems now ! And we've arrived here to clean up this beautiful land and just then create something beautiful as and pleasing for the inhabitants now !" As It says proudly as the knight sees a yellow gem wade through as the very water and pick up the very least remains of the Paper Pleasers now "You understand, don't you jaune?" The Cat asks with obvious glee in its voice.
"...This is them...as They're back... But just how" The knight answers, tears in his eyes as Jaune sees a glowing light from the very gem's hands form a house made of crystals.
"Brave knight You appear to be upset about something as Would you be so kind as to tell us how to help you now ?" A blue and white gem asks him kindly now as The knight falls to his knees at the question, blood pounding in his mind as How could he let this go as he should be the one now helping them not the other way around now as He denied them as he was basically killing them slowly as he was driving them to be insane just like him self He wanted to be the one to protect them but he was the one who was denying them.
"Poor Rusted Knight. As You tried so hard to just save them but as you just only stopped them from becoming what they needed or what they meant to be in the end !" As The Cat coos at him, as then slowly gaining in volume until it is almost shouting at him in the end as He was going to win this time and he will have what he wants and he will get what as he just wants now.
"I...I.-" as the knight was speechless as what kind of an answer he should give back to the curious cat now as he was more ashamed as it is as he was the one denying them of their future as he was just trying to be a hero but in reality he was the real villain in the story.
As the curious cat then slowly start gaining in volume until it is almost shouting at him "You held them back !!! Not just once but as more than 100 times a day and night as you kept on implementing your very schedule as and very rules now as making sure that they don't have time due come as what they were destined to be now but as by now you Might have realized it that the truth as You aren't a hero !!! You're a fraud !!! As You just wanted the rush of rescuing someone like an idiot !"
As then very harsh wind just blows passed him only for the gems to hunker down and not get blown away like before now as it was now confirming for what he has done.
"N-no!"
As the curious cat was now then slowly start gaining in volume again as until it is almost time to end it shouting at him further in the end "Yes! You did what as you did for selfish reasons now !!! And even then you failed in what you wanted to do in the end! Look at yourself You're a failure as a human and as hero and now look at them! They don't need you anymore and They never did need you!"
A then small fire is extinguished as one of the very gem as just started to waves as it's very glowing arm at it as they were fixing there old village now and as they all will be rebuilt it soon. "Poor little Rusty jau, you fail at succeeding and only succeed as when you have fail again in his life now." As The Cat just mocks him slowly and finally....finally succeeds in breaking the knight even if only for a moment for as it did took him years to do now and as even for the strongest would crack one day and when they discover that they have fought for the wrong reasons for decades now and everything came to light.
"I...I'm so sorry everyone !" He cries as ugly sobs invading his speech as tears drop from his eyes as had his head on the ground as he was trying to apologize to gems as they all stopped what they were doing as they faced towards him and Started to surround him as They had one thing on as there crystallized minds now as They all agree on one thing.
Finally...I waited for so long. Who knew all it would take i-hrk!!! Who hit me !!! " As The curious Cat just stalks forward away with a predatory grin on his face, but only to be for a minute before as it was bonks away by the very gem with pink color as it was not alone as the others are coming to the very knights rescue as well as they had something in his crystallized hand now and very crystallized baseball bats as they changed at the cat now
"You made the brave knight cry! Go away, you meanie cat !" As The red gem shouts as with crystallized baseball bat as it just start to bonks and beating the Cat away from him as others joined in as well " HI as What are -OUCH ?! Do you know wha-OUCH!" The Cat replies in fury and confusing now only to be trampled and kicked away by the jackalope in the end as She never did liked that cat to begin with as the rest of the gems started to surround him and started to pin him down and beat him up and saying one thing "fight back I say fight back pussycat as fight back" as the pink and black one was enjoying this or some reason more than the rest of them as they all ganged up on him as pinning him down and barrage it with bats and as some were kicking it with there little crystallized feet now in the whole process.
_______________________________________________
An it was cold night in the regions of Japan as rain could be seen around him and as the foot steps could be heard as people were as walking around in downtown as neon lights of the city could be as they were shining as it was refected as yellow and black hooded shade figure as was being reflected by Rain on the ground as car's were moving around his surroundings as the mystery figure was just walking around and through the crowd of people as the dark and rainy as streets of Tokyo at the night time as the person was wearing a dark black yellow hoodie with a very black cargo style jeans and some white sneakers as well as it was looking like a very completely ordinary early adult as he was walking around while had his mask on his face as he walk the streets at night.
As It was not one of his only characteristics and as he was aside from the as very black hilt of a sword strapped to his waist at best and As the stranger just walked around the entire area as he was just needed to be some where right now or Just trying stroll around the entire region as he was trying to figure out what to do next in his life as the figure passed by a store with numerous televisions in it's very much display as it was all playing all the same station at the same time as He paused for a moment there as his very much dull and his cerulean-blue eyes looking at the newscast in an attempt to take his mind off the events of the previous few weeks by now as it just transpired in his very life now.
As an very much well dressed woman with lavender-colored hair turned towards the camera and spoke in Japanese "In other news and yet another one of the Japanese councilman has been outed for corrupt and he will be sentence to jail as the court will decide it's fate and it's actions against him and with very is numerous crime's that has been supported him and Reported by the authorities by a strange individual that has been claiming that has diseasing within legal immigrants as and enslavement from other country and stealing hospital money and numerous individuals present with him as it will be investigated in due time and after they have verified the culprit and connections to its companies and extortions and other
That as in other news the very frequently as new figuring over very much the very new I.S development industry that is opening in the city of Tokyo its visa to its own countries as well helping other and new students to research and develop in this new departure as even the prime Minister has allowed this in the grand scale in the Asian countries as a university scholarship and fraudulent and will opening in this summer's in the new technology ways for females and males and alike to work in as equals and that are now practices causing even more citizens to rally for a return to the old way of the country as the when men and women were equally as what equality meant in the end as paid and given rights over the years as I.S as now is starting to I put a divide between men and women and their relationship as women are starting to take advantage of this as they are superior gender compare to man now and As Japanese are requesting monarchy order even more now and the very recent poll shows that approximately 83% of the populace wish for the old government to return and then as According to legends of our kingdom that one day as when the whole country and the world would be in danger then the very least the descendant or there's successor of the Warrior Kings and with his samurais would return to reclaim the throne and bring world and it country to a new golden age and No one will knows for sure how to identify the coming king or anything this is precised as named as nothing but a legend or a rumor at best but it is said that he will have the mark of his family's house and be able to produce the four royal arma-."
As the young man just heaved as a another sighed before continuing his nightly walk through the busy streets of the city as The night was the only time that he was able to get to himself anymore as the rest of it was spent being an errand boy now 'Hmph,' he laughed to himself, 'Not like I've much else to do anyway now as This is truly an very strange compared to his own and from his last visit from another world as they did not have this much complications and so much rules and since when did he actually speak and listen to their language as it was like a common tongue for him but he still doesn't understand what's going on Why is he keep on happening to him of all people .' It had been about two weeks since he revealed the truth behind his very departure and as his new arrival in this new world as disparately tried to find a job and a shelter until a kind old man found him and as then decided to hired him in his store as a store clerk as he did tell him that he could speak Japanese perfectly as he was quite confused at the time now he was understanding what he meant but it's been morely a week and he's been working his butt at least he has a place to stay and eat and as Had the access to the bathroom as well as he was given a small apartment on top of his store as he wakes up early in the morning as he continues with his duty as it store clerk for a week now as he still makes money but it's still better to be homeless in this new world as this world has technology and he has no idea how to operate them at all as he were seeing weird things as cars were different From where he's belong to and cool bike.
As he could just still remember as it was as like yesterday as he was in his home as he was while fighting a giant dragon and as it's waves of monsters That was attacking his allies as what happened to him as it was like was yesterday in his life now turned around upside down as he was in very new strange world as he was find his way back to his old home now but until then he'll wait basically.
CHANGE LOCATION
As a lonely woman walked into the streets of a city of Tokyo say as where besides in the great continent of Northeast Asia or East Asia is the continent on which the Kingdom of old Japan was in east end it is located in it time as the old empire excited upon it.
As The very island continent has a range of climates that range from verdant forests and mountains in Japan to barren the forest a in Japan and it is ab mountainous countries as with two-thirds of its territory covered with forests and in Most areas have a temperate climate with four distinct seasons although Okinawa in the south is subtropical and as it was an Hokkaido in the north is subarctic as Therefore Japan has great diversity of plant and animal life. In addition and there are an remain a large number of valuable in it's as very ecosystems throughout the country as it was and with the four areas of Shiretoko, Shirakami-Sanchi, Ogasawara Islands, and Yakushima on UNESCO's World Heritage List at best.
As the Japanese territory is located in the region called Northeast Asia or East Asia as to the east of the Eurasian continent as It is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean as the Sea of Okhotsk as the very Sea of Japan, and the East China Sea on this world.
Japan's easternmost point is Minami-Tori Shima Island (153°59'12" east longitude), its westernmost point is Yonagunijima Island (122°55'57" east longitude), its southernmost point is Oki-no-Tori Shima Island (20°25'31" north latitude), and its northernmost point is Etorofu Island (45°33'26" north latitude).
As in the side of the city of Tokyo there was an Small island as in the entire region it was a like an school like facility as it was side of the small island as it's surrounded by a city known as the school of I.S academy it where young pilots are trained to use there I.S suits for sports in the future of human kind as it was a warm place in the morning but it was equally freezing at the night times as we can see the city as it was that was near it as it was booming with no other than business and its people all around it and with many different people from different countries as they were moving around in the city As a lonely woman as she wearing an office like suit as could be seen as she was walked down the streets of Tokyo alone as it was night time as she very exhausted from another day of her duties as a instructor and teacher of the Academy.
As Chifuyu was is the formal tournament and the champion holder of the former IS Representative of Japan and the first Mondo Grosso champion before she retired and as the 1st Year Dorm Supervisor in the IS Academy but later she did become the new teacher in German and then moved back to Japan and joined the academy when her dear friend yamada maya as one of the few of her close friends she had in the end and she was one of the main people who helped and convinced her join the academy in the first of all as it did provide good food's and hospitality forward it's students but the main catch is that it's a all girl school as the I.S was design as assigned and tested for woman as she told and tested by her old friend that damn thing know as a rabbit girl and you will be just wondering right now that what is a I.S as they are powered as exoskeletons, which were originally meant for outer space exploration and it was Designed by Tabane Shinonono, they, possess technology and combat capabilities far more advanced than any other weapon system and thus threatening to destabilize the world.
Faced with such an overpowering weapon, the nations of the world enacted the "Alaska Treaty", which stated that the IS would never be used for military combat and that existing IS technology must be equally distributed to all nations, to prevent any nation from dominating the others. And they also give the IS to other countries, but the US is the only country that didn't accept the IS, which is suspicious for most people. And this rumor was never confirmed.
The introduction of the IS does, however, have a major effect on society. As it can only be operated by women, the power balance between men and women is broken, with women coming to dominate society over men.
The reason why only females can activate the IS is because Tabane Shinonono built them that way, saying she created the IS "to give girls wings." The reason why Ichika Orimura can do it is unknown, but it might be because of his unique origins. It also had the side effect of setting the social standings of women above men by default, causing some women to take advantage of men in public situations.
According to Akatsuki, IS are machines built to fulfill their pilots' dreams as When an I.S pilot strongly wishes to do something, their I.S will often grant them more strength to do so. In some cases, they might evolve for the sake of their pilots, as seen in Ichikas' case. In more extreme cases, they might even take over their pilot in order to protect them or in order to make what they want theirs.
As she had just finished with the initiation and it's preparations for the new teacher and student for the new semester as the teams had been formed by initiation and the students very skills and determination and leadership they bring with them and So much potential they had with them as who she had to finish every paperwork and Even complete her own friends paperwork and her very personal daily workout was done afterwards and now it not the time to think of those memories at the moment as She should trying to relaxing a little now but there were still a couple of problems that she needs to resolve as well before she can call in the night as she needed to pick up several important items for the Academy, and check in the refugees as well and a few more tasks at hand but her back and neck were aching now.
As the lonely woman walked the street at night Tokyo was no other than Chifuyu Orimura as she hadn't be able to just slept properly recently as the not only due to worrying about these very discovering about an weird terrorist organization that is Knows as phantoms tasks as the kept on attacking the Academy grounds and it's very much Walls as well and people's lives tried to leave for work in the fields are to find some more tips as the residents from neighboring countries have been helping around in the city's and Academy in normal means as possible as many come here to live in peace in the end.
As she remembers the time when she was in charge of the situation at it first as she was as just nervous as she used to deal with so much Many with initiation and the safety of the students now at first as it as started to become a little tiresome at time's and but it was because of the attack on of the third world countries as the day before and the fact that they had a fifteen-year-old student attending there school in there school and in there countries as they attacked by some unknown organization at the time as it the very least as they were many casualties as in the result of it as the students and there very own teachers were attending that very day had just died by there very hand's as it was tragic day for many people in the world as it might be seen as that it's just an very much an normal day and others might just ignore it in the end as disclaimed as the very much the very country very problem in the end in it's very security problem but it was much more greater than that as would be first time wasn't a normal terrorist attack It was done with an I.S in hands of them as it did become a international problem in the end as who did it was the real culprit and it was no other than phantom tasks it the time and They might started world war three in there opinion in the end.
As She almost threw her superior officer at the time out the window when he decided on a whim to have her little brother attend one day prior to the first day at the Academy and She then had to chase down that very rabbit for permission, deal with her, and then have her brother records from his old school to just transferred to the I.S Academy and to deal with her again and then finally ensure that her brother would have a ticket to board the plane just landed in Tokyo and then transfer to the academy even though tickets had been sold out at the moment as she had work more in the process of it.
All of this within the span of five hours now! Only V.I.P or those in training at the Very in the Academies staff were just allowed on the very least the plane in the end without an very needing to purchase a ticket, making it harder as "yesses Good times "
And now She doesn't have the same position as deputy headmistress and anything like that but now she had to work double time as teacher and sister to protect the Academy and it's student as now Finally she is free of that duty's her.....blessed assets on her chest were also playing a big part of her backache and it did Add some to her natural beauty and she knew she easily attracted attention from both men and woman and while she strolled down the streets of city as it was still causing there necks to turn too fast and still creating severe whiplash at the moment and in Which was why she just now rarely ventured into city's and it streets at night or day as She already had enough from leering student's and stuff and At least a student knew not to be so obvious at the moment but otherwise as they would had suffer in combat classes but Civilians was a another case as they would gaze lustfully at her and just there was nothing she could do about it and unless they acted upon their gazes and Being a sister as well as teacher and formal soldier meant she had to keep up standard's, and even if she wanted nothing more than to smite those perverts at best at time's.

TWENTY SIX MINUTES LATER
STREET OF TOKYO
POV
As for right now as she had just finished her last task of the day and when it was time to leave the pain struck her back again as her body and her cells was incredibly useful for healing wounds as faster then other normal human beings as she was used to fighting as with out her armor on her body as she did blocking attacks from I.S enemies as it did help in empower one's ATTACK'S But for all the miraculous wonders it brought and as it did nothing against some sore muscles of her body now at best as many years has just passed of cell's research went into why her body was different than other's at best as it very much faction is still as mysterious and powerful it was at best and why it couldn't help the body recover from such pain as it was when Young as possible as but theory it was became that as it was not serious as her very body didn't just recognize the need to use her cell's as to heal it with and A person with some ability just could flood their body with there upgrade cell and it would relieve the pain for a bit until it stopped or ran out of power in it's response and as Then it did came down and back with a sword of might vengeance afterwards with a huge price for trying to ignore it best and So the very only reason a person did it now would be if they were to find themselves in a life-threatening situation.
But And Not only that in the end as but it is and was a bodily function that let the body know it was in pain at the moment and that the entire nerves system were working in full speed and Otherwise as a super soldier that would be hitting the gym in every day and for heavy painful workout sessions and use there artificial cells just to repair the very least the damage they receive with it, and keep doing it to get stronger in no time and The slight tearing of muscles and then healing there body and to create new and stronger muscles from exercising was an process that was done naturally at best and the body would and have recognized it as well as something very natural and so there cell's can wouldn't heal it instantaneously.
As the same logic was applied to there poor and that was sleeping posture and other sources As she put her hand on her back of her neck to relieve the pain she was feeling at the moment and as she still just blamed her boss and people around here for these pains in her mind by now and she looked up to see a little sign with a light on top of it as well She didn't concentrate where she was going as then as when she stumble upon something else or a weird place that she consider was destroyed with the other side.
THE CROWBAR REOPENING
As then Chifuyu was started to narrowed her very eyes at the very sign and started to quickly looked around as She was sure she wasn't in the shadier parts of city but rather in a more modest place and where crime wasn't the most prevalent and though with all the recent attacks and robberies and an smuggling as just nowhere in the very least continent was crime free and She looked at the sign again and pondered about it and that sign lead to a two-story building that have just seemed respectable at best but she suspected as very possible an underground level's facility at best.
And the very reason for her suspicions ? As the Massage that very parlors and bar were sometimes another code word for it in the end as the very underground brothels and terrorist base as a bar that has a record of many different drunken marriage and died n the past and Those places were just quite well known in world as she and yet almost impossible to eliminate due to how many would use and support them, and some of those with power and influence used them to relax.
In the major parts of the Japan as just did as outlawed these places in the past but it was a very difficult task to enforce those laws at time and as There were still some existing within shadier districts of the other towns and cities in Japan as but the police were as overburdened just with other tasks to even attempt to try to find them and as They also usually hid themselves pretty well in the end as well as from other and from the law in just planes site but they did managed to just attract some customers daily from here and there and some of them end up married to some complete strangers in the end and then they get murder in the end by them as Their source of income not only came from the daily routine of customers and but most likely the owners of this joint also had other businesses to help cover it up and this very bar know as very the entire Crowbar was very famous in back of the day in her home town as well and now it is here in Japan in the commercial district as in it plane site as they Might have just moved here since the beginning fell and there was nowhere to go back to and then they might Target the I.S Academy and city civilians in the end again.
And then Ultimately, there were other less onerous tasks to care about than finding these houses of ill repute that may or may not exist But as for Chifuyu had never seen one so brazenly held out in a decent part of city and It was her duty as a teacher and a older sister to put a halt to such a place at once! As she Whipping out her glasses and she confidently strode into the parlor as the very opening the big Brown door and just entering in, as she was inside and she was ready for anything but She did ignored the closed sign and wanting to catch them all by surprise put them in jail or she could have just expose them before they could even attempt to do anything wrong but what was inside the place just surprised her very at least.
As then Chifuyu just kept on blinked as she started to took in the sight that was just in front of her as the environment around her was just curious as she was met with just a very nostalgic feeling as She found herself in a waiting room and quite like a clinic's or a office room as where one can waited to be either see a physician or dentist or as there her boss or family members at best.
As the wallpaper was a light teal color and something pleasant to the eyes and tasteful. On the walls were photos to help the patient or customers to relax and along with a bar in the middle as and along with a magazine cabinet filled with some magazines of at the latest trends, news, etc and There were even a few comics or she was definitely sure that there was some manga place with them as she can see one of the manga such as Pearls Before Swine and Calvin and Hobbes and her favorite kind to as well But In a corner was a vase of flowers on a table that added to the decor and along with a few rather comfortable chairs for waiting patients at best as it bring back some memories now.
And of course that in the front of the room was a window and a door next to All in all and it certainly wasn't something expected to see in her entire life but she still kept her guard up and It could be just a front to trick her and the authorities from investigating further in this place as then Suddenly the door opened up in front of her, and a brown hair woman and green hair teenage boy as both started to walked out of the room just behind them as struggling to carry a rather large sign as then he just saw Chifuyu as she was standing there in front of the counter table and as he started to muttered "Hmmm, I thought Sarah just put up the closed sign few hours age ? Well hold on, let me finish this first or I can serve you some drinks"
CHANGE LOCATION
As the sun was starting to set over the city of Tokyo as it was a beautiful evening was as it sighting as he was seeing shining neon light as lively markets filled with customer as he could be children buying some food as they were hanging out with there friends as they were running around with drinks in there hand's as he could some girls with as white uniforms as they might be school girls and as he can see their faces as they were just relaxed and Clam as they were talking with there friends as they were just holding there hand's of each other as walking well as they even seeing happy as he even seen some of children or teenage with there mother's as some were walking around to one store to a another one as they were looking around it.
But as for certain person as for the first time in his life as he has seen a very active and as an functioning City like this one that doesn't hold any problems of any kind maintenance in reality as he doesn't think that they as the maturity would need anything like that's at all as it was just perfectly with the working conditions in the end as people we're doing their things as enjoy their lives ot the fullest as he was seeing couple more to as they all were happy and excited to buy himself new stuff and they were walking around hand's in hand and by side by side.
As all the very year's that he as spent as just fighting just countless horde of monsters as and it very frequent waves of them as they one by one as they were attacking nearby villages and towns for the last few years now and now seeing this after so many chaos and destruction of the kingdoms and it was much nearby related cities and towns were under attack by monsters and nearby countries and families alike by night fall as this was a site to be seen for him as there a was nothing as that can describe this feeling and sight in front of him as he could utter a one word it was peaceful as it reminded him of the city of Atlas and mantle were before the Grimm invaded the entire kingdom and burned it down to the ground or his very home at least as he knows as they might be dead and so is his kingdom and city now.
As to see civilians around the city as takes a moment to admire it as if it was his very old home they What has prepared for a war or as just preparing for a siege by humans and by monsters alike It was like an old memory unlike an old nightmare for him but now it was miracle as he's still workings on his two feet now and he was now Among the very live and in front of him we're civilization of this country them right now and it is a even an miracle that humans can manage to just coexist with one another and then function the some society and community together as the era of peace itself as what ozpin truly as wanted in the end for everyone in the world as he now truly believed What he is seeing right now is a miracle and that they could have work together to postpone and avoid that one method of choice that is war's and Devastation as it has just have caused just nothing but sadness and despair by now but now he's been proven correct by that they do have a chance of survival and living in harmony by seeing this city and as its very much inhabitants as they we're preparing to do there daily routine as it was almost as it nighttime as the business will pretty much boom at night as Usually but for one person He needs to go back to the store and do his duties as he did promise the old man that he would look after his boss shop now for some time before he returns back to his old duties and world now.
As Jaune was started to walked to the main street the connect towards the convenience store that he works in as It was his time for the second shift now as he has been Started to get used to it after a month stay in Tokyo as he started to explore the city more as he has came across many foreigners and locals around here as they some rude to and and some were kind to him but he get used to it now and as my was studying as its nearby another cities as well as there very is own history and thoughts at it very much in the end as well as checking for any applicants and scholarship for some University and it high schools at beat if he needs to know as about its regions and environment better.
As he he has been researching about there very own culture and traditions and a there history as well for some time now as he has wanted to know more about this world and how it is development start so he could use this way when he goes back home maybe he can introduce this to his son's more and help him build his little world better and help his very locals even more as when he is trying to speak with them often as Jaune has been visiting its very own libraries in this city for some time now when he has the cash when he was from his boss and time he makes for himself as he started to research about there very own religion now but as when it comes for there own history with war as "just wow " as Jaune just couldn't believe as he have was read and he try to just imagine it as he was seeing as there country was in war with entire world in world war II as in that time it was know as the empire and it's very own much crimes against its own people and the world as holy s*** as Jaune Arc just read it all and Just makes his people in this original world like the mad general ironwood and than Salem as saint compared to them as they were this violent in their past time in wars era just compared to now.
As he makes his world war in his own world child's play compared to what these people done in total as really they have master the art of war and death now as he's did even wondering by now how did they minus to rebuild everything even better than before now as how the bloody hell are they even still alive even getting bombed by another country two separate atom bombs as he did learn about Atom bombs as they're just like those dust combustion bombs that Atlas had readied themselves against Salem out their siege time and they fought the whale and he had to tank it In total.
As it is externative and impressive at the same time as they managed to just rebuild themselves after so much destruction and chaos and well his people from his home world would and should learned about this one or two of from them a bit to rebuild themselves to be better and start rebuilding the world maybe as when he goes back he should help them build the world again as he was good at building it and maintaining it in the end Maybe he should in the end.
As well he did learn there have an special class of tv series and it called anime as well he did started to watched them a little bit and he liked them a lot as One of the people he was talking to in the bookstore told him to try his story if he's free and he might like the plot points more as he checked out the manga that he just recommended to me as it was called Manga as in there country that it is not called not comic books as the very it's much the major difference between manga and comics are and on one hand as the very much the very manga feature the vision of a single mangaka or team. On the other hand, comics are published as "runs", or separate narrative arcs, that permit different creative teams to work with their own little of ideas interpretations of the characters.
he may made that mistake once and he got the stare from the store manager and very customers as well as they were glaring at him as He was surprised that even the baby that was in there mother's arm was glaring at him as try to signal him as he might split his very throat in his sleep as it was just one honest mistake now as he just get over it as he's a new to this business as he checked the cover page and it did say one word berserk.
As It had a cool cover has a man with black sword and He will be reading it later as he has work to do now as his shift time nearly going to start again as he needs to hurry up as he spank the man who gave him the book as his name was Haruto Yuto as he was the owner of the Manga store and the antiques store as He has cool looking mangas and as even some cool looking antique stuff with him as he even deals in video games as he was quite excited about these things maybe when he will be free he should come to visit him later As Jaune said his goodbyes as he as started to leave the store and head back.
As Jaune was started leave as when Haruto called him out and as then he start to turn around towards him and as Jaune catched something as it was throw at him As it gives him a box as Jaune was a little confuse at him at first as he asked "What is it" as he said to him to "Open it" as he did and then as what jaune saw was pack of Manga as they were binded together as they had Many different Kind of genres were in it as from there even an City Hunter or Dragon Ball and it completely series with him.
As Jaune just 'thank him' as he just left the store after as it was raining a bit outside and the best part was that his place was not that far away as it is twenty minutes walking a bit distance as he as received some mangas for free now as he was thinking about that peacefully as he was walking in the rain as alone as it was more peaceful then before now as he saw that some people were head towards the train and bus terminals as he was curious about the train's and bus's in this world now.
As Jaune understand a good gesture of a new firend and then bonus as on one would even try to read these type of mangas or as some light novel anymore and considering the modern age it's rough with the industry with he thinks I.S come out as it as started to complete destroy everything that some took pride in their work now but they said it's was good that I'm outsider so My opinion doesn't matter that much as he will be now
taking good care of the books that he as just received from his firend as in the end as he remembers that jaune was scrolling around the other day at the market place as One of his brave adventures in this new world now.
As he scrolling around the other day at the market place as he comes cross a store that deals in very different items from very old CD from DVD players with cassette player as well and with other type of media with it as very classic looking magazine and car and it very robot models as well as that had pretty much cool stuff as well as books that has to many cool quotes from variety in it as well.
the very difference was between it was in different kind of language at best but for as jaune could read it perfectly and as he can even understand it better as well some how now he can read different languages and he can understanding perfectly has it was his own language noe but he will questions it later as well he was patiently reading it as then decided to buy it as he read it when he went home to his workplace.
