What the heck am I looking at?

Reed is all...glowy. He looks bigger too. Not just muscle size...but he looks just physically larger. Same height as Jaune or close to it.

Speaking of Jaune...is he okay? He's just on the floor...please...please don't be what I think it is...

"You. Pyrrha. What is that?"

Cinder seems completely disinterested in me now. She has her arms crossed staring down at Reed. There's smoke and little fiery bits coming off her body. Is that her aura while we're like this? Is that MY aura now?

"I don't think even Reed knows what this is-"

In the blink of an eye, he levitates off the ground and soars towards Cinder. He moves so fast! I've never seen something so fast before!

He moved so fast that I was blown away by a gust of wind, but that's nothing compared to the impact of the punch he lands on Cinder which flings her through the entire CCT. It was already mostly broken, but still.

"Get Jaune and Ozpin out of here."

There's no tone of voice from him. No confidence. No sadness. No happiness or anger. It's monotone. What the hell is he right now?

"B-But Reed! She's a Maiden!"

He remains floating in the air with barely visible wings made entirely of aura sprouting from his back. He grunts and flies through the tower chasing after Cinder. I guess that's his fight now...

I float gently down to Jaune and Ozpin. There aren't any wounds on either of them. But...Ozpin was injured. And why isn't Jaune moving? Please just be unconscious. Please please please.

"N-Nghh...."

Huh? Was that...?

Ozpin slowly gets off the ground and reaches for his nearby cane. He shakes his head and looks right at me.

"M-Miss Nikos? Did you defeat Cinder? Where is she?"

"N-No, Headmaster." I turn right to Jaune and crouch down next to him. I put two fingers on his wrist and try to find his pulse. "Um...Reed has...taken the fight from me..."

...

...

...

...there's no pulse. There's nothing. Absolutely nothing. But he has no injuries! H-He can't be dead!

"Reed? Why would he take the fight from...you...are...you okay, Miss Nikos?"

He's dead. Jaune...no....no no no no no NO NO NO NO NO NO NONONONONONONO!!!!

Ozpin walks over to me and puts a hand on my shoulder, squeezing it ever so gently. He reaches a hand out and places it on Jaune's chest. A green glow emanates from his palm. Is he transferring aura?

The aura washes over his body...but then goes back to his hand.

"...I am sorry, Miss Nikos. There's nothing we can do."

Then he stands just like that and slowly walks back to the CCT, probably to try and fight against Cinder again.

...

...

...

...So that's it. My friend. My leader. My crush. The one who gave me hope that things would be different here...is dead.

I feel steam coming off my body. Is that rage? Sadness? I barely know anything about the powers.

...

But...
