Jaune Arc is Beacon's worst student and weakest Huntsmen in training. It's not all bad for our favorite huntsmen he has friends, people he can count on right? What happens when his secrets are spilled? How will the choices of those he consider frie...
The stars burned backwards. That's the first sign something was wrong.
Ruby stood at the helm of a multiversal waygate, The No-Space Corridor, an impossible arc of energy stitched by Qrow's spells, Harriett's speed force surges, and ancient divine runes from Nora and Elm. Raven's red cloak fluttered like smoke made sentient, Marrow's eyes saw through timelines, Sun Wukong twirled his Ruyi Jingu Bang with cosmic boredom; Lie Ren's third eye shimmered, already peering into the battle to come.
Their mission was clear.... tear through realities to confront Ironwood, who had hijacked a forgotten realm, the Beyond-Realm, one where thoughts manifested as matter. He was bending the rules of creation into his own personal dominion, and if left unchecked, would remake Creation and Existence into a world forged only in his image.

They never made it.

Midway through the 37th reality, an echoing, Escherian void where gravity wept and colors screamed, they felt it.

A scream.

A fire.

A rift.
The fabric of the multiverse tore like flesh. Out came Her.

The screen flickers, static forming into the silhouette of a man in armor. The camera zooms in slowly. Behind him.... galaxies swirl like mist caught in a storm. Ironwood stands in a throne-like construct, stitched together from fragments of destroyed realities. His mask glows with infernal runes. He looks directly at *****
Ironwood:" Do not judge me too quickly, mortal. You look at me with the disdain of the ignorant, the uninitiated. You say, 'Ironwood, why mind control the children? Your best men? Your soldiers? Why awaken their power by force?' You have no idea what they are capable of. What they could be. Take Pyrrha Nikos, here as an example, the great Champion Mistral. An extremelly versatile fighter. Physical strength unmatched by many of her peers. What was her downfall?......Love.......Love troubled the perfect warrior from achieving her peak... I limited those emotions so that you all could've witnessed my finest Celestial being...The mighty Fire of Creation and Destruction.... She is a cosmic inevitability. The Phoenix Force..... what fools call a 'power'.....is a primordial will. It is creation and destruction in one breath, the echo of the Big Bang itself. She has no limit. Not truly. Do you understand that? Do you understand what it means to possess no end to your becoming? I saw it. A future where she transcends linear time. Where her thoughts rewrite the laws of physics. Where her emotion births or erases universes. So yes, I bound her mind with sorcery and psionic chains older than your gods. I made her a weapon... because if she chooses to feel too much....grief, joy, rage.... existence ends. She is not a person. She is a decision point. And I intend to decide. Now, let us return to your so-called 'heroes'..." he said as he turns, his gaze like a blade through dimensions. He raises a gauntleted hand—and space shatters behind him, forming a glowing lattice of collapsing multiverses.
