Cinder looked away and Weiss couldn't help but feel insulted at the ease of which Cinder rejected her. A beam of blue energy slammed itself into the dark haired woman, crushing her back onto the bridge. 

“Winter!” Weiss’ cheered. Her sister was here! And she had the power of the Winter Maiden! Winter flew through the air, her blue aura shimmering around her as she glared at Cinder.  

Weiss closed her eyes, a deep breath in. Then out. She could feel the combat rumble along the bridge. She planted her hands on the ground and pushed upward, her shaky legs struggling to stay under her, but the third try with Myrtensaster was enough to get her on her feet.

She ignored the fight high above and stumbled toward Jaune, who stared listlessly at Penny's remains.

Weiss placed a shaky hand on Jaune's shoulder. “We need to leave, now,” Weiss said in her Ruby-termed ‘Heiress Voice'. With Cinder distracted by Winter, they could escape with Winter behind them, hopefully leaving Cinder trapped.Jaune nodded stone faced and tear stained. They each gave Penny’s fallen body a final look before Jaune helped Weiss trudged toward the hopeful exit.

They could see the Vacuoan desert on the other side of the nearest portal. “Just a few more feet, Jaune. And than–”

Weiss let go of Jaune as she looked behind at the growing whirring noise, heat, and light. Weiss stumbled behind Jaune who threw up his shield. The ball of fire exploded on contact. Weiss fell onto her back as the heat burned what was left of her aura. 

A crack rang in her ears.

She turned her head. A chunk of white and yellow metal had slammed into the bridge underneath her. Steam from the metal clouded her vision.

Light illuminated underneath her, and despite the smoke in her eyes, she couldn't help but widen them as another crack rang out. One she felt.

“Weiss!” 

She heard her name screamed by two different voices over the ringing in her head. She rolled over onto her knees, ignored the growing cracks, and looked up. Behind the smoke she could make out another of Cinder’s fireballs.

Weiss scrambled back. Too slow. Too late. She felt the heat slam into the ground and envelope her feet and legs as the force sent her careening through the air. 

“Weiss!” 

She looked up, and saw her sister flying towards her. Dodging glass swords and fire balls launched her way. 

“Weiss!” Her sister screamed as she came to an abrupt stop.

Winter’s beautiful, glowing, ice blue eyes and tear stricken face were the final things she saw as the darkness of the void swallowed her whole.

Weiss felt warm, as if someone wrapped a blanket around her very soul. She felt at peace, safe and secure, like a child that was being guided by their parents, not that Weiss had much experience with that. She couldn’t remember the last time either of her parents willingly held her hand. 

“She’s strong in the force.” An unfamiliar voice whispered into Weiss’ ear, causing her brow to furrow. She was exhausted, which made opening her eyes feel impossible. Someone was carrying her as they walked, Weiss could feel every step. 

That was weird, Weiss always knew that she was a bit on the shorter side, but to easily be carried in someone's arms was kinda insulting. If it was Yang, Weiss was going to make her pay, especially if the blonde had taken off her prosthetic arm. Allowing her body to relax, Weiss finally managed to open her eyes after a few seconds of concentration. 

It nearly blinded her with how bright the world was. She blinked a few times to help her eyes adjust as she tried moving her arms. Weiss felt them wiggle, but they were firmly held at her side, something soft was wrapped around her body. Her eyes finally adjusted, allowing Weiss to look up at whoever was taking her captive. 

She stared up at a figure with deep blue skin with two tentacles sprouting out from the back of their head. The alien had a feminine, narrow face, which looked down on Weiss with bright pink eyes. They formed a small smile which revealed their pearly white teeth. 

“Hello youngling.” The same voice from earlier spoke again. The blue alien was holding Weiss like she was a baby, which was weird, she wasn’t that short! Where were the others?! They had fallen into the void first, they should’ve been here! Weiss’ eyes widened slightly as they started to tear up. 

Weiss needed answers, and she wanted them now. She opened her mouth to spout out a retort, but no intelligible sound came out. 

“Wahhhhhhhh!” Weiss cried like a baby, her words not forming correctly. What was going on here!? She must’ve been going insane. Y-Yeah, this was all a dream, a bad dream straight out of Jaune's comic fantasies. 

The blue alien wiped her tears away lightly with her thumb, and shushed Weiss’ cries away, her soul once again feeling like it was being wrapped in a blanket like the one that held her captive. 

“Hush little one, you’re home now.” The blue alien whispered low enough that only Weiss could hear. Weiss also heard a door slide open, with the blue alien stepping into a dark room. The stranger laid Weiss on what must’ve been a bed, as the white haired girl stared at her in confusion. 

This was the weirdest thing that had ever happened in her relatively short life. 

“You’ll make a fine Jedi one day.” The Alien caressed Weiss’ cheek, leaving her even more confused. 

What’s a Jedi? That just made her want to cry even more. 

“Waahhhh!”
