After Jaune returned the Beacon Staff and Ozpin went to speak to him about what happened
Ozpin: Mr. Arc. Is it true.
Jaune: about what?
Glynda: Salem is gone?
Jaune: yep she is stuck in the Sun.
Everyone: What?
Jaune: I lured her into a trap by using one of our Ships as bait and sent it flying into the Sun. Right now if this Immortality bit holds true, she'll be roasting forever or until the sun dies out.
Ozpin: what if she escapes?
Jaune: The Sun has it's own Gravity. And Last time I heard she can't go into outer space as Dust doesn't work there. Even with Magic, she can't defy a fuck ton of Gravity.
Ozpin: it is feasible. But what of her circle?
Jaune: she brought all of them there, with Emerald's information. Arthur Watts, Hazel Reinhart and Mercury Black were all with her before I yeeted them.
Glynda: so it's finally over........the Shadow War.
Jaune: yes. Now for Reconstruction.
Ozpin nods knowing it's about time
The Circle all discuss what to do next
All the while
Ironwood and those loyal to him are to be Tried for their crimes of attempted Genocide on Mantle's populace
Along with that Team RWBY was also in deep shit after everything they pulled
Spirit of Fire Brig
They were more dressed for their new dwelling place along with that their Weapons and Uniforms were put into lock up
Jaune paid them a visit to discuss their Trial
Ruby: Jaune we heard you got rid of Salem.
Jaune: yeah, that is one problem out of the way. And then another one is next.
They saw Marines took Ironwood and his men out of their cells as they were escorted away
Weiss: what are you doing?
Jaune: they will face Trial, same as you guys.
Yang: but we helped keep things together!?
Jaune: your Parents and Ozpin and the Beacons staff have argued. All Testimonies and Evidences will be reviewed and you will receive a fair trial.
Some asked the Death Penalty but Your Parents begged for it not to happen so it won't.
The Girls all gulped after hearing 'Death Penalty'
Jaune: but don't expect a slap on the wrist, the time you bought isn't worth all the possible civilian casualties if we hadn't Evacuated Both Atlas and Mantle.
They were all unsure of themselves now but their Parents won't allow them to die
( I am not a Law buff so I won't go through litigations and straight to the sentencing )
Ironwood didn't receive as much mercy as he would have hoped as the Jury was unanimous in sentencing him to the Death Penalty, Someone who Followed up on his Threat of Nuking Mantle for the sake of saving so little with no guarantee of victory didn't inspire compassion to the Jury
The Jury was fairly 1/3 Mantle to Atlas and some even in Vale the fact that evidence was clear that he was still bent on bombing Mantle despite evacuations were undergoing was the last straw in his list of crimes
Betraying the Public Trust, Wanton Destruction, Usage of a Weapon of Mass Destruction on a Civilian Populace and Finally Treason
The Defense that he was undergoing paranoia due to his Semblance was a feeble excuse to slaughter innocent people
He was to be hanged publicly to show that the UNSC was tough on crime
The soldiers and the Ace Ops especially Harriet who followed said order was also sentenced but not on the Death Penalty as they were Following Orders to the letter
They were though sentenced to Life in Prison for aiding and abiding a known Terrorist Act
Then came Team RWBY's Sentencing
After Listing their crimes but the Defense also Listed the Good they did, Preventing the Fall of Vital Resources to the enemies hands ( The Relics and the Maiden ), Their Operations in thwarting the enemies plans, The Battle in Mantle and the Battle at Haven
They were sentenced to 30 years in Prison with Hard Labor and with chances of a Parole on good behavior
The Girls were to spent the time contemplating, and doing back breaking labor with mining minerals and producing materials as a way to pay back
They were allowed conjugal visits by their family at the most
Jaune didn't do them any favors despite being friends, the law is the law even to the UNSC
Remnant was now established as a New Colony and Hidden Research and Development Site for New UNSC Tech
Master Chief was busy with his own battles as a New threat became present on the Horizon
The Banished
Remnant's Objective is to provide New Military Tech
And so a Project was born due to the return of the Mk III. Hrunting/Yggdrasil Powered Armor that Humans can use
The Spartans were Amazing but they need an Equalizer against most of the Banished Forces
The New Project was Called
Project Free Lancer
