Jade had part of her arm cut off. Soon, the scenario registered in her brain.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Jade screamed in pain.

Jaune stood over her, his kodachi dripping with blood. In his other hand, he holds the missing piece of her arm.

It took seconds for what happened to register for everyone else.

Jean became furious. She sends a gust of wind to send Jaune flying several feet back closer to the huntsman and huntresses.

Jean, Alex, and Morgan went to help Jade, who was bleeding out. Jade ripped off a piece of her clothes, and tied it to the top of Jade's arm, stopping the blood loss.

"Alex! Use your flames and burn the wound!" Jean shouted.

"What?!" Alex shouted in confusion.

"We need to cauterize the wound to stop the blood loss!" Jean shouted.

Alex nodded and her hands shined with fire. With some reluctance and fear, she put them to Jade's wound and burned it.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Jade screamed in pain, fainting from the pain.

Jean checked Jade's pulse, sighing in relief when she felt the beat.

"She's alright. Just passed out," Jean said.

Alex shook with fear. Although she helped her sister's life, she felt sick at the sight of her handiwork.

Morgan, on the other hand, had experience with this because of her missions. However, she felt worse since it was her sister who was hurt.

"H-How did he cut off her arm? Her aura should have protected her," Alex asked.

Morgan looked at Jaune, focusing on his kodachi.

"His sword. That's how," Morgan said.

They had questions about how it could cut through aura and how Jaune obtained it, but other priorities mattered more.

"We need to contact a medevac for Jade and the others," Jean said as she took out her scroll.

*SLASH!*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Someone screamed, garnering the attention of the Arc sisters.

It was Jaune. He had slashed a huntsman across the chest, letting out a geyser of blood from his body.

A huntsman rushes Jaune, intending to punch him. However, Jaune catches the punch with ease, much to the boxer's surprise. Before he could react, Jaune stabbed the kodachi into his chest. Soon, the boxer's fist went limp as his arm slumped to his side and he stared at his wound. Jaune took out the blade, causing the huntsman to fall to the ground.

He turned his attention to the other huntsmen and huntresses, sensing their anger, but abundant fear. He dashes at them, unleashing a barrage of strikes.

*SLASH!*

Hitting the side of a huntress's neck.

*SLICE!*

Taking off a huntsman's arms.

*SLASH!*

Across the face of a huntsman.

Many fell to the ground in a vain attempt to attack him. As he was done with one of them, three others dropped their weapons and began to run away. However, they didn't get far as Jaune appeared right behind them.

"Who said you could leave?" Jaune asked.

As one of them turned around, Jaune sliced him apart with great force and ease.
