The Hunters and their Valkyries

(Translation) 1: Last Order

The last of the ships was about to leave.

Blood soaked the streets of Vacuo.

It was everywhere, along with the bodies, and the thick stench of blood, urine, and other unidentifiable odors made Jaune Arc feel sick. He began to breathe through his mouth, though even that threatened to gag. He had seen bodies before, of course, but never so many. It was so bad you couldn't look away from them without seeing more, and they had to step carefully around them so they wouldn't trip .

Jaune Arc looked towards the horizon seeing how a great dark Wave began to cover the desert of Vacuo.

A tremor caught his attention before realizing that he was the one who was trembling, he looked at his hands and indeed he was trembling, he closed his fingers into fists.

And he took a step forward.

"¡Jaune!"

He stopped but couldn't look back.

"Come on Jaune, the last airship is about to leave"

An adult Ruby Rose spoke to her friend figure. A 25-year-old adult Jaune Arc with long blonde hair and a large white streak held in a ponytail.

"Ruby....I'm sorry"

"Huh? Wh-what do you mean by that? You... Look if it's about Penny once we're safe we'll talk, it's not a good time for your nonsense"

Jaune listened to every word and smiled sadly.

"It's not because of that...."

"JAUNE! THERE IS NO TIME-"

"Someone Has to Stay"

Ruby stopped speaking suddenly before the words registered in her mind, then paled.

"Jaune...No, you won't....I-I won't leave you here, I won't abandon you, I won't let you stay"

"Look up, Ruby," Jaune said. "Look up. It's noon, and yet the sun isn't shining."

The sun was blocked by thick gray clouds that he had seen before, but now there was something off about them. Little black wisps moved below them like bits of straw in the sky. Ruby stared, trying to make sense of it, until a larger shape made its way through the clouds for a moment, before rolling towards them again. A bird. A gigantic bird. Suddenly all the smaller shapes made a lot more sense.

Ruby watched that scene with terror.

"E-even so, I won't leave you, the ships are faster than the grimm, now come on, I can't leave you here"

"I know....That's why I do this"

Suddenly Ruby Rose was knocked out by Jaune, with a single aura-influenced punch.

"J-jaune..." Ruby's smaller form slumped against Jaune, who only caught her with a sad smile as he carried her in bridal style. Nearby was the last Bullhead with the rest of the RWBY and NR team along with Qrow .

"Sorry Crater-face "

I walk towards them with Ruby in my arms.

Now with them I leave Ruby with her team and then I get off Bullhead.

Weiss looked at him with a frown.

"What are you doing? Come up immediately!" She yelled at him in fear but still she knew what she wanted to do.
