Ruby was in the house watching tv when there was a knock on the door, she opened it to see Maria standing outside but she also noticed that there were three white cloaked hooded figures that were standing behind her 

"Um... Maria? Who are they?" Ruby asked

"and here I thought you'd never forget my handsome face," said one figure

They took off their hood and Ruby was shocked. It was Roman Torchwick!

"hey Red, been a while," Roman said

Ruby was shocked but more shocked when the other two removed the hoods

"Hello Ms. Rose, I'm glad your well"

"Ms. Goodwitch!?" Ruby cried

However she was in tears when she saw the third figure

"S-Sun" Ruby said

Sun also had tears in her eyes, "hey... Ruby" Sun said

Ruby hugged him rapidly, "I missed y-you! I missed you so much!" Ruby cried "I missed you too..." Sun said. 

they all sat in the living room "I don't get it? how are you two alive? I shot you in the head and sun was shot in the Heart! so how...?" Ruby asked

"you'll have to thank the light brother for that" Glenda said

"you see when Roman died I was asked to make sure that it was really Roman and not another fake. when I saw that it was him, he told them and when they left to cut open the body I had said a prayer, just to give him a little peace, but when I was done, he rose from the dead"

when Maria heard that she looked to Roman

"you saw the other side!? what was it like!?" Maria asked

Roman looked to her, "all I remember was a golden deer leading me to a light but then turned to me and said I wasn't supposed to die yet and then I woke up in the morgue" Roman said

Maria looked at him with awe, "you saw him, that was the light brother" Glenda said

"it was the same for me" Sun told her

"so what now? are we still heading to Vacuo?" Ruby asked

"yes, and I'll be coming with, and the tribe will be heading to Vale, it won't be safe in Vert anymore..." Maria said

Ruby looked at her "Ruby, when we get there we need to tell Shades headmaster to activate the border between Vacuo and Vert. It will stop the Hybrids from crossing into Vacuo" Glenda told her

"what about Vale? won't they try and cross into it?" Ruby asked

"don't worry about that, I had activated it when Vale was taken," Glenda said

"well if we want to hurry then we need to get going!" Roman said annoyed, and they all looked at him and nodded

"the border is a day away from here" Maria said

"when we to the border, there is a town and it'll take us to Vacuo" Maria said and they all nodded in agreement. they packed everything they needed and said goodbye to the rest of the tribe and then left.


Jaune was near a small pond and he went to it and drank from it, he was thirst from walking such a long ways, and when he moved away from the pond he was yanked by some really strong and muscular arms, he was thrown into a tree, Jaune took out Croceas Mors and was ready to kill his attacker but then he was swept from under his feet and he fell, his legs were wrapped in chains and he was then punched in the face by someone else and he was then brought force in front of a masked Woman and the huge muscular man who was an Ox Faunas, the Woman undid her chains from his legs and she took off her mask to reveal long green hair and red eyes.

"Emerald?" he asked with a confused look and she looked at him

"Jaune!?" Emerald said surprised

"what do we do with him, boss?" said one of the masked figures

"we take him back with us along with the Half-hand" Emerald said and Jaune was shocked to know that she also had captured Qhorin

"get up human!" said another masked man and they tied Jaune up and they began to walk.

After an hour of walking, they had stopped at a camp that was filled with other Faunas folk as well as children. Jaune was then lead to a small arena, where he was cut loose and then thrown into the arena, Jaune was then handed back his sword, he looked around to see that there was a crowd of people watching him, in front of him was Qhorin with his sword in hand,

"Jaune!? what are doing here!?" he asked

"we got attacked by the Hybrids and I was the only survivor" Jaune began "then I was looking for more of the Silver hands and White Fang" Jaune said

Then a man with a Knight helmet with a Silver hand painted on it with Emerald next to him

"LADIES! GENTELMAN! WE ARE NOW GOING TO WITNESS SOME CATTLE SLAUGHTER EACH OTHER!!!!" he said and the crowd roared with cheer, "ONLY ONE CAN SURVIVE! AND THEN THEY WILL BE TAKEN TO THE TWO KINGS!" he said and the crowd cheered again

He looked at them and smiled, "YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO" he yelled

Without hesitation Qhorin rushed at Jaune with his blade and started swinging at Jaune, Jaune dogged but Knew he had to fight him at one point, so Jaune began to fight, Qhorin raised his blade at tried to strike at Jaune but Jaune cut his knee deeply and Qhorin dropped his sword, Jaune looked to Qhorin not wanting to kill a man who he respected highly but when Jaune looked back at him, Qhorin's eyes told him eerything he needed to know. his eyes said 'do it' and so Jaune ran to him and stabbed him through the stomach, Qhorins blood fell onto Croeas Mors and then Qhorin leaned on Jaune, as he was dying he whispered in Jaunes ear,

"for the Blue Fang...For Humanity....For the Knight of the Menageri" and he died there and the crowd roared with cheer

Jaune was saddened that he had to do it, but knew what Qhorin wanted, he wanted someone on the inside of the White Fang and the Silver Hands, the gates opened and he was meet with the man wearing the Knight mask and Emerald next to him

"that was Fine lad, you killed the Half-Hand, none of us could ever do that" he said

Jaune looked at him "yeah, well I wanted to kill that guy as much as you did" Jaune said trying to convince them

"oh? why's that?" the man asked

"the Half-hand had gotten my friend killed and knew that he would die..." Jaune said trying to sound sad

"well your in luck, Cause the Boss here said she knew you and wanted you to meet the Kings" he said

"the kings? are you talking about Adam Taurus and Mercery Black?" he askeda 

the man nodded "yes them, but the people on this side of the wall there known as the kings of West Menageri" he said

He headed to a room and pulled out a White and red cape with the White fang sigial but on the wolfs head was a silver hand.

"so you ready to head out lad?" the man asked and Jaune nodded 

"then lets get going then" the man said and they began to walk away and they were heading to another town two days from where they were.
