Jake Arc runs through a snowy forest woods, he crosses a shallow stream and then runs through the streets of the winter town. As he runs through the town, pigs squeal and chikens caw. He reaches the street and stands among a large crowd, struggling to see what is happening on the road. A man steps aside and Jake pushes through. Ruby Rose is smiling as she watches Jake run through. A large army is marching along the road and Jake continues to run alongside them. He finds a tree and climbs up it to get a good view. The army marching along the road from the winter town up to Arktown. A man's shout can be heard, and Jake turns to face the rear of the army. The large army of Yang Xiao-Long marches to Arktown. The army marching through the streets, above them the Airship carrying Yang and Jaune. A dragon roars and the villagers look up at the sky in fear. People start clamouring as Yang's dragons, Dia and Raven, fly overhead. Yang and Jaune get off the Airship and walk into Arktown with Flynt, Arslan, Sage, Qrow, Kali, Cinder, Weiss, Winter, Whitley, and Penny towards a crowd of people standing within. Oscar Pines is sitting at the front of the crowd. Jaune looks at Ruby who is standing next to him, with Sun to her left. He walks up to her and gives her a hug. Yang walks up from behind, She hugs her sister tightly and Ruby hugs back just as tight. Yang the looks at Sun

"you've been taking care of her, Sun?" Yang asked

Sun nodded"yeah, and just to let you know Yang... we are togethor" Sun told her

"glade to know that Sun. And I'm glad Ruby loves you" Yang said

Jaune looks around "Where's Nora and Ilia?" Jaune asked

"They headed to the Border" Ruby told him

"What for?" Yang asked

"The Dark Brother has your dragon" Oscar told her "He's one of them now. The Border has fallen and their marching North now" Oscar told them all





"As soon as we heard about the Border, Nora called your bannermen to retreat to Arktown" Sun told Jaune

Jaunenodded then he looked to Lord Caboose, "when can we expect your people to arrive Lord Caboose?"

"We need more Bullheads to get food out and the dust canons" Caboose said

"I'll be happy to lend you five or six" Yang told him

Coboose nodded with a smile "thank you, Queen Yang" Caboose told her

Carolinaappeared out of the meeting room and she then walked to Jaune

"Your Grace" she said to Jaune "But you're not. Are you? You left Arktown a king and came back a... I'm not sure what you are now. A lord? Nothing at all?" Corlina asked

"It's not important" Jaune told her

"Not important?" she scoffed "We named you King of the Arks! And now your just a lord, Serving under a Queen we don't know!" Carolina cried

Men cheered for Carolina

"That is enough!" Jaune yelled back "Yang is an My Friend! And I named her my Queen because I believe she is the right woman for the Job!" Jaune yelled

Yang smiled at what he had saidJaune sighed and looked to them

"It was the honor of my life. I'll always be grateful for your faith. But when I left, I told you we need allies or we'll die. I have brought those allies home to fight alongside us. I had a choice, keep my crown or protect the South and my friends. I chose the South and my friends" Jaune told them
