"Wake up!" I felt something pumping on my chest, forcing air into my lungs.

My eyes fluttered open, "Yes!" Soma jumped up from beside me, I sat up slowly, my head killing me as the slight light stung my eyes.

I was at the front of Beacon, everyone sat around and waiting to evacuate as Port says.

Yang and Blake, "They made it..." I muttered, choking on the little air I had to begin with.

I tried to stand up, "Whoa! What're you doing!?" Soma grabbed my arm.

"Jaune... Pyrrha... Have to... Help..." I fell back down, feeling my heartbeat slowing as i moved.

"No," Ruby said, "I'll find them." Weiss joined in, saying she'll help, running with her leader off out of sight.

"Yeah, Trigger and I are going too, if worse come to worse we'll run." Soma let me go, running off with them towards the school.

I sat up, crawling slowly over to Blake, she cried, holding onto Yang's hand and desperately apologizing.

I fell forward, making what little of my arms that was holding together break under me.

"Crazy..." The blue and pink man stood over me, touching the metal arms, taking them back to top shape.

I looked at Yang, healing her once again to no avail, Crazy Diamond can't fix this without...

I fixed Blakes leg, having been cut.

I made The Fool drag me to the edge, "There aren't enough." Oobleck said under his breath, watching as the last ship left.

Dozens more people stood by, believing that we would help them, we can't...

I pointed down at the city, the 4 on my hand glowed, "Harvest..." Little bee like creatures, no bigger than my palm, swarmed from underneath me.

"Find... The crashed..." I coughed out some blood, sending then by the hundreds of thousands into the city.

Crazy Diamond followed them.

"Y/N." Velvet dragged me away from the edge, laying me down and placing her head on my chest.

After about a minute she spoke, "56." She sat up next to me, "Your heart rate is too low." Too low?

That didn't happen last time I... Tried Max Armor.

"Velvet..." I asked her about Astra, she said she's fine, and that she's taken the most Grimm here by far.

"...atta girl..." I chuckled, coughing more blood onto myself, looking at the tower, "...give her hell..."

My head throbbed, I dragged my eyes to the left arrow, ".... Away." What?

"Look away!" A white blinding flash burst from the tower.

I pulled Velvet down and closed my eyes, my ears rang as I stood up, barely holding myself up.

Crazy Diamond's fixed ships he'd found with Harvest flew in next to us, loading people on and flying them away, "More..." I ordered.

I fell down, seeing one last thing as i did. Someone stood in the towers direction, they were...

The silver masked swordsman from the Tournament. He walked by us all and looked out into the city.

Blood dripped from their gleaming blade. I saw them holding a... A pistol...?

"That's..." My heart sunk as i realized who's it was, "I'll...!" I reached out, passing out as he looked back at me.

---------------------------------------------------------

...

"Ugh..." My head...

I opened my eyes and saw my cat laying on my chest sleeping, "Stache...?" I questioned, this little guy should be at home.

Wait... This isn't my bunk...

This my room, My bed at home.

I held my head, questioning what happened.

I was hurt bad after Max Armor... I must've passed out, Velvet said my heartbeat was slow.

I can move just fine, I'm sore but can walk, my heart is normal now, and my brain only hurts the right amount.

"S-Sweety?" My mom came into the room, tears in her eyes, she ran to me.

Hugging me, "How long was i out?"

She said it's been a week and a half, she's been feeding me with my Stand. Harvest took the food right down so i didn't choke.

"I'm fine, mom. Where's Som- Sid, is he okay?" She nodded, "Although..." She trailed off, "Travis..."

She lead me down the street to his house, he laid in his bed, his Aura stuttering with bandages around his head.

"Something, it's got him- his-" The bandages only cover his left eye.

"Trav..." If that was way back then... It's long gone by now, no way an eye lasted that long out there.

I walked up to him, placing my hand on his chest, "...Y/N..." Astra looked up from her bed, eyes red with stains on her pillow.

Golden light enveloped him, Harvest cut the bandages, taking them off as he woke up.

He sat up, yawning, "How long was i-" he tried to open his eyes, "That long, huh...?" He said, slowly getting up.

My mom ran and hugged him, telling him to never do that again, "I didn't even get that." I joked.

I saw the scar over his eye, the flesh is still torn and raw, the cuts look like... An Ursa? But I thought...

Wait, that blood on his sword was the... Then why'd he take a pistol?

My scroll rang, I left, taking the call outside.

Rubles Rosé, its what i have Ruby as in my contacts.

I answered, "Hello?" Ruby spoke to me, I asked if she was okay, she said yes, asking me if i was.

"Yes, no worse for wear." She laughed a bit, clearing her throat to ask me something, "Y/N, we need your help. There's something going on in Haven."

I stopped her, telling her I need a second.

I opened the roster for the Tournament, finding the Silver Bullet and checking if they were from- "Haven..."

I told her I'm in.

I hung up and felt a small cold speck on my neck, it's snowing.

"I'm getting answers, Silver. You're not keeping them from me." I muttered, staring into the woods.

---------------------------------------------------------

Weeks later, Ruby, Jaune, Ren, Nora, Travis, Sid, Ashlyn and I all set off to Haven.

Walking among the cold woods, dead were the trees for the season.

I looked at my hand, the numbers were all dull, none glowing with potential.

"Y/N," Ruby spoke to me, "I was just thinking, about that girl you said you liked." Ruby asked if I really wanted to see her again.

I said yes, that i have to see her again, "But why?" She asked, "You know she's White Fang, you know she hates Humans, why would you-"

"Because she doesn't hate me." I said calmly, the snow crunching under our feet as we walked.

"Sylvie was vocal about her feelings. She could never lie about them. And when she said she'll be with me forever she meant it." Ruby hmm'd at me.

"Y/N," I grunted, "I miss Beacon." I ruffled her hair, "Me too. Me too..."
