Winter pov...

Me: w-what happened?...

I slowly got up shakily...I was in the bridge surrounded by my now knocked out crew...

Me: is anyone up?...

No one responded... everyone was alright and breathing, but...no one was awake...but when I looked out of the window...

I was greeted by a sight of Y/N being carried away by a pack of Grimm...with Cinder guiding them...she looked up before making eye contact with me...

Cinder: your lucky he saved you!....that mountain is filled with dormant Grimm!- and he stopped you guys from crashing into it...I'm not even sure he knows!...

I wanted to go down there and shove my blade through her heart...but my aching body told me otherwise...

Cinder: give the general my regards...oh, and...the ship crashing is his fault alone~

She turned away, as I was forced to watch her leave with Atlas' most terrifying weapon...

Glynda pov

Me: can't this bucket of bolts go faster!?

Pilot: this is a bullhead ma'am, if we go any faster, the engines will blow. Then we won't really be a rescue team.

I looked out the pilot window before aiming my vision down through the clouds.

That's when I saw it...

Me: there!- get to the crash cite!

Pilot: on it!

I pulled up the small tracking system Y/N added to my scroll before watching it move away from the ship...was he running...no...he was being taken!

Looking down at the crash cite...I only saw the crippled frame of Y/N's Glare as it looked up at us...

I felt apples pop out from around my small cape before looking around...it seemed like Y/N was really here...but not anymore...

Me: Y/N...I swear I'll find and save you...

Time skip 3 hours...

(Corky: oh fuck...here we go...)
Salem pov...

Me: why...why must my child be put through so much...and why does he believe he must do these things for others...

Watts: your majesty, if I may....pacing back and forth with heavy stomps will ruin the floor, and won't make them come here any faster. They are already pushing thier transport to the max it can withstand.- any more and then the engine will blow, and Y/N won't-

I glared at Watts...and he looked at me with realization...and fear...

Watts: b-but he will make it- yes, definitely will make it... hopefully...

I turned my attention over to the clouds before seeing something pierce through them...it was Cinder!

A small transport vessel of Atlas manufacturing, came down with great speeds before quickly slowing down for a rough landing. Cinder immediately hopped out with a worried glance...this wasn't good.

Cinder: your majesty, I...I'm sorry...his condition got worse as we flew here...there isn't anything we can do now...

I rushed past Cinder with fury and sorrow before ripping open the hull to see...

Y/N: m-mom?...

my son...

Y/N: it's...k-kinda hard to talk...and I-...ah... I-I can't see or hear you...but I think your there though...right?

There, on a small hovering stretcher...laid my son...

The metal that encased him was cracked and broken... Turning it into scrap...dried blood covered his body as I could see the several patches wounds Cinder and the others had tried to mend...but it wasn't enough... I could immediately see blackened veins running throughout his body along with sever damage to legs...they were practically crushed...He looked in my general direction with open white eyes...either his vision was completely gone...of the side effects of his semblance wouldn't leave so easily...
.
.
.
But what truly caught my worry and attention...was his breathing...

A strained inhale, as his chest rose...before cutting short with a strained and chopped exhale...

Me: no...

Cinder: master?

Me: I WILL NOT LOSE ANOTHER!

Immediately taking him into my arms before using magic to increase my movements.

Y/N: M-mom... so-...........it's...cold...

I felt what might be my heart drop...would I truly lose another child under my protection?

I rushed further into the depths of my castle before finally reaching the Grimm pool...if normal "human" methods of healing wouldn't save him...then this would...

I kneeled down to place him in, but...a hand stopped me...

???: Are-...are you sure you want to do that to us?...

I looked over to the person that stopped me from saving my son, and found Y/N's Grimm...all though his form was quite weak...his eyes showed a great deal of incoming regret...

Tank: your majesty...he may never be the same again...sure we'll be healed, but-...the Y/N you and I truly know...will be broken...he isn't like you...he won't-...he won't recover...

Y/N: T-tank?...a-are...you th-

Y/N's words were cut short as he heaved in pain.

Y/N: is it...is it raining?

I set Y/N down next to the ledge of the pit.

Tank:...he...he doesn't have much time left...and... sadly I'm not qualified to do what you are about to do next...your his mother figure...either you let us go and let it finally end...or...*sigh* I don't have much time left...it's your choice your majesty...

Tank than disappeared before my eyes...

I leaned in over my son before letting him lean on me...I held his hand as his breathing began to slow down...

Y/N: M-mom...was...w-was I good enough?...

.
.
.
.

Me: Y/N....Tank... everyone.... forgive me...but as a queen...and as a mother...I will not allow another of my children to die by the hands of other's mistakes...

I stood up with Y/N in my arms...and walked into the pool...

Me: when you wake Y/N...I will not rule you...I promise you this much...

Y/N: l-love you...mom...

I winced as a burning tear streaked across my face...and began to submerge my son into the pool...his hand weakly held to mine...before going limp...his body slowly sunk down as I began to beg...

Me: please...
.
.
.
.
Me: with all the curses...and all the pain you bring- please...
.
.
.
.
Me: just this once...bless me with once...with something of hope...I beg of you...
.
.
.
.
Me: please....
.
.
.

Something bright began to shine in the pool ... And something gently grasped the hand Y/N had let go of...

Corky: and there ya go!- the consequences of y'all's fucking actions...and yes, I had three fucking chapters; each with the possibility you guys chose...but now...it's going to be fucking fun~...now then...let's see what comes out of it~
