Space marine is patrolling the city of Atlas, taking all alive soldiers into custody and taking AKs to examine them. Chaplain was right in front of his soldiers, making a speech to encourage his brothers, while lightbearer is giving orders, while the Jaune is still in the vault. Lightbearer didn't guard him, because ho knows about primarch's power, even space marines though, no one is injured. Yes, some thunderhawks are destroyed, but pilots, terminators and marines that are aboard was evacuated by the help of angler marines. They lead them in the one of the underwater mining facility under further notice. Civilians are scared though, they believes that space marines are here to hurt them, like they did to those soldiers. Underground vault opened, and from the doors, came the figure of the Jaune Arc, dragging Schnee family by the arms. They were kicking and struggling to get out from the powerful grasp, but not succeed. He dragged them to the chaplain and set them on the knees. From them came a voice, from a tearing heiress:

"J-Jaune... What have you done ?"

She said in the shaky voice. Jaune looked at her and said:

"This is the rules of war, little Schnee. I have a right to do this. If no-one could do that, because they are outmatched by the... "Superior" technology and amount of soldiers... Did you really think, that attempting to murder someone can't go without consequences ? You are fool!"

"I order you, to release me at once! Do you even know who are you talking with?!"

Jacques shouted, expecting something. Jaune groveled and said, with the angry voice:

"I am talking to the mortal... A common mortal, who have desires and needs in the amount of money and power. Do you think, that you are the powerful family, because you rule SDC? Don't make laugh. I guess, we should start sentencing."

He said while grabbing Jacques with the arm. Weiss quickly shouted:

"S-sentencing?! What are talking about?"

"You will see"

Jaune dragged screaming Jacques to the wall of the building and cuffed him to the street light's poll. Lightbearer came to him from the crowd of cheering astartes. Jaune takes his storm bolter and aimed him at the lightbearer's head, which make him nervous, but quickly spinned the weapon in his hand, to hold the barrels and offering to lightbearer the handle. Lightbearer quickly recovered and takes the storm bolter. Astartes are cheering, and shouting:

"Those who died will be happy"

Lightbearer comes to the whimpering Jacques, who's shouting in panic:

"Don't kill me, please! I can give you anything! Name you prize!"

Lightbearer stopped and said in the cold voice:

"Your death is my prize *BANG* *SPLASH*"

Storm bolter shot the bullet, that entered the Jacques's skull and detonated inside, splashing brains and head bits on the wall, poll and floor.
Astartes shouted:

"Those who died are happy, those who died are avenged."

All these happy cheers are heard in unison with the Schnees screaming and crying in desperation. Weiss can't even make a word from her mouth, because she is crying, in the lost of her own father.

"Alright, this is it. All who responsible for crimes against faunus and attempting to kill me, is dead. Atlas will be a simple city, without the garrison and will be restricted to make an army. James Ironwood will be local governor, until further notice. Space marines, load yourself in the vehicles, we are going home!"

Jaune said, before he and his fellow soldiers begins to move in the thunderhawks, leaving cuffed Schnee family, with their knees in the blood of the Jacques. Justice is served.

*One hour later*

Jaune is sitting on the throne in his room, behind his desk, making blueprints of new Solis construction. Solis will be a city, with the space marines and Adeptus mechanicus in the command. Jaune still have thoughts, that something must happen, something... Bizzare. Right after this thought, he heard sparkling noises and turned around. He saw purple warp rift, that was spinning in circles and spark some lightnings. He aimed his weapons at the portal and waited for someone, or something to come out. From the portal, cames two individuals, one is unknown to Jaune, but the second one is the one, who he knows. He was shocked. His voice was filled with the confusion and shock. He asked:

"Brother ?!"

(Guess, who it is ?)
