Jaune sits on a seat on the pelican, simply waiting. He isn't sure what he is waiting for, silly that he is waiting. Waiting for a Covenant transport to pop out. Waiting for a portal to take him to a certain Remnant of a planet, waiting for Jorge. Jorge. The gentle giant, the muscle of Noble team, the heavy weapons dude, the one who cared, at least, cared the most. He was the most sentimental out of the six. 'But he isn't here anymore.' Jaune thinks, absentmindedly puling out Jorge's dog-tags and reminiscing about the big man. Thought he didn't know him for that long, his death still stung, what made it worse is that he died thinking he saved Reach. Even after everything he had done to protect Reach, it was useless. But Jaune wouldn't let his sacrifice be in vain, he would remember him, keep him in his heart, along with Grace, George, Macy, Jack, and Pyrrha. He wouldn't let all of their sacrifices in vain.
Jaune looked out, to see a Banshee making a diving run at their side. Jaune quickly jumped into action, manning the machine gun and blasting the damned thing to dust. Many Banshees and Seraphs attempted their best, but were all taken down.
Minutes later, Jaune was dropped off to charge missile batteries to destroy a Covenant Corvette. Jaune hopped off the Machine gun and mover forward in the direction he was told to, mission is sight. Jaune spotted a Warthog ahead and hopped in the driver seat. A marine spotted the Warthog too and decided to man the gun. Jaune spotted the first missile battery and armed it. Jaune used the jetpack to reach the second missile battery, and when it was primed, ruched to the command console to fire it.
The Covenant were relentless, but Jaune sheer determination to save the civilians was too much for any Covenant that were willing to face him. Jaune reached the command console and fired. Not a second later, Pelicans could be seen flying everywhere. "Do you copy?...Repeat, this is Noble Two. Noble Six, Noble Five, do you copy?" Kat said over the static radio. Jaune hailed her call "This is Six. Go ahead Noble Two." "We picked up your transponder about a hour ago but couldn't risk opening comms. Covenant have the city. We haven't heard from Jorge." "He didn't make it Kat." "Understood...what's the situation at starport exit?" "The last transport is away." "Alright, were bringing you to us." Jaune lighted a flare and tossed it next to him as he waited.
New Alexandria, Eposz August 23, 2552 1857 Hours
Jaune is sitting in a Pelican, as the city burns around him. Flames cover building as smoke covered the sky. Jaune ponders all that has happened to him. From his time at Beacon, to the Fall of Vale and the death of Pyrrha, to the adventures of team RNJR (JNRR, it sounds cooler in Jaune's mind) to Lionheart's betrayal at Mistral, to the truth of Ozpin, thought the journey to Atlas, to the rescuing of Oscar from Salem, to the evacuation of the civilians, to his fall through that Slipspace portal and his deaging to 'Destiny's Call', to 'basic' training, through the adventures of Yellow team, to finally here, at the events of Reach. Will he ever get home, or will he simply go MIA?
Jaune thinks about this all while he sees New Alexandria burning. Jaune soon arrives at the landing pad and steps off. And walks toward Carter. Carter claps him on the back. "Your report will half to wait Lieutenant. The Covenant are jamming all comms to command. Kat needs your help running a counter-op... It's good to have you back Jaune." "Sorry I came alone Carter." "Honor his sacrifice, make it count."
