6 hours after Beacon Academy Fell. It was the morning of the aftermath as Team RWBY and Pyrrha watched while wearing a cloak as Arcadian Troops were burning the bodies of the fallen Huntsman and Huntress including students from Beacon Academy as the citizens cheered

"So this is how we fall. Our own citizen turning against us for one mistake." Ruby said whispering as Weiss looked at her softly

"Ruby, the huntsman and huntress were corrupt in Vale which was surprisingly. I guess the council greed here is far worse than in Altas." Weiss said ducking her head slightly as some soldier looked at them before moving on

"So what happens now. Do we still go to patch." Yang asked as Ruby shook her head

"As much as I want to see Dad. Uncle Qrow is with Arcadian so we will be turned in. Our best bet is head to Menagerie to lay low. Is it true Blake that your parents are against Arcadian after they slaughter white fang and Arcadian Faunus refused to help them only taking certain part of Faunus from their." Ruby asked as Blake nodded

"It is a safe haven. Arcadia has decided to leave Menagerie alone after they have slaughtered the white fang. We can regroup there and hide until the situation has calm down and we can return back to the kingdom
." Blake said as Pyrrha snap at her

"Calm down. Calm Down. My sister is dead because of our stupid mistake in betraying Jaune. It was your fucking fault. Hey Pyrrha let expose Jaune for his fake transcript when you were a former terrorist of the white fang. It's a good idea. Now look we are being hunted." Pyrrha snap at her as it gain attention as one girl approached them

"What going on here." Scarlett asked as few arcadian soldier followed up with her as Scarlett raise an eyebrow

"Nothing madam" Yang replied

"Really. Is that all you got...team RWBY." Scarlett said as Yang and team RWBY eyes widen in shocked

"You're going to turn us in aren't you?" Ruby said as Scarlett smirk and pulled out her sword as the soldier aimed at them

"Of course you harmed my boyfriend Jaune. Now surrender or die." Scarlett said as she aimed at Yang's head

"Wait Jaune your boyfriend?" Weiss asked as Scarlett look at her with disgust

"Yes and you betrayed him and look where that got you." Scarlett replied as she was about to execute Ruby but her aim was shot by a Huntsman who yelled

"FOR OUR FALLEN HUNTSMAN AND HUNTRESS!"  he shouted as all hell break loose but for the Arcadian it was a simple fight between the few rouge huntsman and huntress as Scarlett was forced to engaged her attention on the actual threat as she used her magic elemental ice magic freezing three huntsman and huntress feet in place. She stab one in the heart as he groaned in pain and tried to breathe but the blood coming out from his mouth make it difficult for him to do so. She broke the ice on two and impale one with her elemental sword and lifted it up killing another. As the others were watching in horror seeing their comrades being killed by Scarlett while the Arcadian soldier shooting at the last remaining huntsman and huntress as Scarlet turn to see Team RWBY and Pyrrha escaped as she growled wondering how a bunch of idiotic wannabe heroes escaped her.

"Lady Scarlett we have another problem. A rogue huntsman is leading a few more attacks at the hall." An Arcadian soldier informed her as she nodded

"Contact Arcadian Inquisitor to have them hunt down Team RWBY and Pyrrha now!" Scarlett ordered as she headed back to the main halls

_________

Ruby, Weiss, Pyrrha, Yang and Blake were running as fast they could

"Keep moving, we don't have much time." Weiss said as she used her glyphs to allow her and her teammates move faster

"Where are we heading to?!" Ruby asked as they were heading to the docks now to head to Menagerie.
"There!" Blake shouted as she was pointing at the ship to take them to Menagerie.

They ran as fast they could to the ship as they looked and paled no one was in the ship.
"Where is everybody?" Yang asked while looking around for any captain but they didn't found anybody in the ship.

"The only explanation is...we are the only ones left." Weiss said as she turned her head and saw Arcadian soldier heading their way.

"Can you drive?" Ruby asked Blake as Blake shook her head as she went to the boat stolls and tried to turn it on but nothing was happening.
"Damn it! It's not starting up." Blake said as she was trying to make it work again.

"We got company!" Pyrrha yelled as an Arcadian Inquisitor alongside few soldiers were at the boat
"Stop right there." A familiar voice said as Team RWBY and Pyrrha eyes widen...it was Coco Adel as she was the arcadian inquisitor. Ruby pook her head out and saw Coco wearing an arcadian inquisitor outfit

"Coco..." Ruby said as Coco simply scoff at her as her helmet was off but she was wearing her signature sunglass 

"Hello Ruby." Coco said as Ruby glared at her as she asked

"Why? Why betray us for Arcadia?!" Ruby yelled as Coco looked at her before taking her sunglass off  before speaking

"For  our people's safety." Coco replied as Ruby couldn't believe it...she couldn't believe that Coco would be willing to side with the enemy but now it's clear.

"We were friends Coco!" Ruby shouted.

"We were once friends. However my team joined Arcadia to help stable the future for our kingdom." Coco replied.

"That doesn't excuse Arcadia massacre against us." Pyrrha yelled

"Yes it does Pyrrha. The Huntsman and Huntress of Vale are nothing but selfish bastards and bitches. You never wanted peace but war and judgement. I will not be in a team that is going to protect people who didn't even cared for our kingdom and faunus!" Coco shouted.

"And how is siding with Jaune and Arcadia any different?" Pyrrha shouted back while pulling out her weapon

"Simple Arcadia has promised us a better future. They have the means to help us maintain the peace. But you huntsman and huntress, didn't even bothered with keeping the peace so we joined to keep the peace for Vale and all of Arcadia as well." Coco said while aiming her guns at them

"That still doesn't give you the right to kill all huntsman and huntress." Yang argued back
"Good Soldiers follow order." Coco said as Ruby cried in disbelief

"Sometimes even a soldier can disobey orders."
Coco scoffed "You never been a soldier, Rose. You have never witness the horrors of war or what a war can do to people."

"I just don't understand...what else are you gaining. The councils are dead. We need your help starting a rebellion?!" Weiss argued coming to support Ruby

"Even if I were to rebel? Who would join us? A bunch of teenage kids who don't know anything about war.  I am one of the few who saw the truth of corruption and we are the only ones who can change that." Coco said
"All you're doing is stripping away all hope that is left." Ruby said while aiming her scythe at Coco

"No we are creating hope, a new world without corruption and only a good future. You huntsman and huntress could never dream of achieving that." Coco said.

"So , that it." Yang said as coco nodded
"What friendship we have is gone. There's no more reason to be friends with you. Surrender now." Coco said as Blake started the boat smirking as Coco smile

"Very well then" Coco said as she shot her machine gun at Blake as yang used her semblance to block the shots but then Blake tossed an explosive at Coco and her soldier as it cause a small explosion as team RWBY and Pyrrha used it as the boat sped off toward menagerie as coco looked at them in anger and shot her machine gun at the boat.

"Head to the ships now! Stop them!" Coco yelled as  soldier were heading to the boats to chase Team RWBY and Pyrrha.

"Come on Blake go faster!" Yang shouted as Blake was increasing the speed of the boat

"I'm trying my best!" Blake yelled while turning the ship. They were surprise the boat was very fast as the Arcadian just got on their boats

"We are escaping! Oh my god." Weiss said surprised

"Take that you Arcadian." Yang said while sticking out her tongue mocking the Arcadian Inquisitor.

"How long will it take to reach your home Blake." Pyrrha asked Blake drove the boat.

Blake looked at her map and calculate how long it will take.

"It will take at least 8 hours with this boat. I can't believe we stole a speed boat" Blake said as Yang rubbed her temple knowing this will be a long trip.

"Well fuck. At least we are heading toward the place we should have go first." Yang said as she leaned back in her chair

"If Arcadia catch us..." Ruby began as Pyrrha finish her sentence.

"Then our fates are sealed." Pyrrha finished as Team RWBY and Pyrrha gulped knowing how dangerous Jaune could be.

1 hour later

Jaune was sitting as he remembered on how the sitaution of Arcadia revealing itself and the attack from the 4 council

Flashback

4 weeks after Arcadia reveal

Jaune was in one of the bases that Arcadia built in the 4 kingdom as alarm rang out as Jaune raise and eyebrow as his older sister Bianca joined in as they look over to see huntsman and huntress with the 4 kingdom council entering and attacking Arcadian soldier even though no damage was taken on Arcadia side

"Get every soldier ready!!" Bianca ordered as Jaune looked at her and nod as he alert every Arcadian soldier

"Code Red, Code Red! I repeat all soldier get to position. Huntress and huntsman are attacking us. The council is with them! Repeat Huntress and huntsman with the council are attacking us." Jaune ordered through the radio

As the soldier were getting into position the Arcadian soldier was ready as the Huntsman and huntress were closing in on Jaune and his sister

Jaune smirked as he decided to reveal something as he transformed into a dragon as they stared in horror as Jaune let out a roar sending out a wave of fire from his mouth as the screams

the screams from the huntsman and huntress as Arcadia soldiers alongside Bianca rushed to aid their brother/prince

"KILL THEM!!!" Jaune roared as Arcadian soldiers were opening fire on huntsman and huntress killing everyone

the Arcadian soldiers were enjoying themselves killing huntsman and huntresses. Jaune looked at his sister and nodded as she transformed into a dragon and joined her brother as they burned down the huntsman and huntress that turn against him as the 4 council stared in horror

"Please stop. We will surrender." Altas council member said as Jaune and Bianca transformed back

"You attacked us first." Jaune said glaring at them

"We're sorry, please have mercy." Mistral Council Member pleaded

"Why should I show you mercy? When you showed no mercy towards your own people being a greedy bastard. We offered peace to you" Bianca said as Jaune continued

"Yet you still refuse that peace and spat at it." Jaune said while looking at them with hatred in his eyes

"We have a solution. We can offer you everything we have." Vacuo council member pleaded

Bianca laughed while Jaune nodded as Arcadian soldier grab them

"Please, we beg of you we just wanted some more resources!" Vale council member begged but Jaune's eyes turn red as he snapped his finger

the soldier proceed to put gun in their mouths and fired their brains out as the others council members screamed but Jaune was not having it as Jaune grabbed one of the vale council member recognizing him having a son in beacon that betrayed him

"This is the price of greed. Guess what I have all the evidence to expose each of you. Once your death the 4 kingdoms will accept us more. While you are dying, remember this..." Jaune said while leaning close to his ears as he burns the council member as he snaps his finger as the soldier

"Your greed has cost you everything." Jaune finished as Arcadian soldier aims their weapons and fired

End Flashback

Suddenly two girls entered kissing Jaune

"Miss us, my love." Luna and Leni said as Jaune smiled

"Of course I miss you, my beloveds. So what is it?" Jaune asked

"Well..we got reports that Altas students have surrendered and only few were executed and killed from the councils of Atlas." Luna said

Jaune nod understandingly. "It's to be expected, Altas council is too prideful for their own good. What about Vacuo huntsman and huntress students?"

Leni gave her report as Jaune was smiling the news

"Vacuo huntsman and huntress students have accepted your offer sir and were given protection from their fallen huntsman and huntress families, and Rias has capture Team SSSN. I told her to torture them for a little bit." Leni said while hugging Jaune and kissing his cheek.

Jaune smirked while nodded. "Perfect." Jaune kissed Luna on the lips as his hand on her waist as Luna smiled seeing his action.

"Don't worry my lovely. You'll have some fun soon." Jaune said kissing her as she smiled but then stopped and put her hand on his chest.

"Now my handsome prince. We should have some fun after." Luna said seductively while giggling as Leni came behind Jaune and nuzzled his neck making him moan

Jaune laughed but suddenly his phone rang as he raised an eyebrow to see who is calling him but then he smiled knowing who it is

"Scarlett what up babe." Jaune said as Scarlett spoke as she explained about Team RWBY escaping Coco as Jaune was furious hearing this.

"You what?! Let me speak to Coco! Now!" Jaune said as he heard the voice of Coco

"Coco...what happened." Jaune asked as Coco was speaking as Luna and Leni looked as Jaune face looked serious but sighed and smiled

"You did well I am not mad. I will admit Team RWBY and Pyrrha are one tricky bunch but no worries I am just shocked that they escape. Don't worry your new its bound to happen fail mission we aren't perfect we make mistakes. Right now focus on securing all huntsman and huntress cadets or students they might be our future." Jaune said as he smirked and added "But no worries I do have something special for Team RWBY and Pyrrha now can you give it back to Scarlet." Jaune asked as Coco complied and handed the phone to Scarlett

" Jaune I-" Scarlett began as Jaune stopped her

"You did well don't worry Scarlett. I understand that they were other rogue huntsman and huntress attacking. You were focused on that don't worry. If needed to be don't worry about Team RWBY and Pyrrha they're are not a threat for now." Jaune said as Scarlett bowed her head even though he couldn't see her but she responded

"Yes love." Scarlett said as she hung up the phone as Jaune smiled

"Currently only 5 have been confirmed to escape out of Vale alive. I know Team RWBY and Pyrrha well enough that they will hide out for awhile. Don't worry." Jaune said while kissing Luna and Leni as he smirked and added. "Now then can you bring me Rias and Ashley." Jaune asked as they nod and went off to find Rias and Ashley.

In the ocean- Early Morning

Ruby was on watch as Blake drove the boat as Yang was sleeping as Pyrrha and Weiss were just talking and looking at the ocean

"What if we are wrong?" Ruby asked out of nowhere

"Wrong about what?" Weiss asked as Ruby answered her question

"That Jaune was weak? Why did we abandoned him? Even before he revealed Arcadia. We should have stood by his side." Ruby said as Weiss sigh

"I don't know maybe because we thought we would be risking our reputation being friends with Jaune." Weiss said while looking at the ocean

"That still doesn't give us right for abandoning him when he was in trouble." Ruby said

"There's nothing we can do. For all we know we might die or Arcadia will find us and we will be killed." Weiss said as Pyrrha joined sighing heartbroken

"I only revealed his transcript because my sister and I loved him and didn't want him getting hurt but I guess our betrayal hurt him and from the council attacking one of Arcadia base. I guess he just snapped. I just wished I haven't turned my back on him." Pyrrha said

"No one is at fault here but Arcadia. We do have to live on the run until the time is right." Blake said as Yang suddenly spoke.

"And then what? Fight. Blake I lost my arm thanks to Jaune girlfriend Rias. We are only 5 huntress in training against 4 kingdom plus Arcadia which has many faction. Face it we have lost." Yang said as Ruby saw something as she got up

"Ruby what wrong?" Weiss asked

"Boat! Turn the boat!" Ruby yelled as Blake suddenly realized what was happening.

A ship was coming close as Blake increased the speed but then they noticed it was a local boat from Menagerie as few faunus were curious as they approach.

"Is that Team RWBY and Pyrrha isn't that the girl who won Mistral tournament." A fox faunus asked as another one nodded

"I think so." Another dog faunus said as Blake smiled at the sight of friendly faunus.

"What are they doing here in Menagerie?" Another wolf faunus asked

"I don't know but they are welcomed." One said as they noticed they were escaping from something

"What are they running from?" A female lioness faunus asked as they saw blake and gasped

"Princess Blake!" One shouted as team RWBY and Pyrrha turned their heads in shocked.

"Princess?" Ruby asked while Yang's eye widen

"She's your princess." Yang asked as Blake nodded shyly.

"You never told us?" Weiss said as Pyrrha gasp realizing Blake is the princess of Menagerie.

"Sorry its complicated. My parents are the king and queen of Menagerie." Blake said as Team RWBY and Pyrrha eyes widen but then their boat stopped as they near the destination as the faunus followed the ship in the Menagerie Docks

"Welcome to Menagerie!" One lion faunus said happily.

They were in awe of the island as it was beautiful. Even Yang who was hiding her feeling about the fall of beacon was happy to see an island so beautiful. They noticed a lot of building closed as lion faunus recognized it and sighed

"Majority of the faunus here joined Arcadia and left but a small portion still follow King Ghira and Queen Kali but it's not enough. Don't worry a lot of us here are on your side." Thw lion faunus said walking beside Blake and Pyrrha shocking the other 3 including Pyrrha that most of the population abandoned their own home.

"I guess it better than nothing." Yang said while smiling.

They were at a villa as many of the faunus were watching them and whispering but then a brown fish faunus opened the door.

"Princess Blake, It is nice to see you again." The fish faunus said bowing before Blake as Blake smile seeing an old friend

"Hello, Roger, where are my parents." Blake asked

Roger nodded as he step aside while Team RWBY and Pyrrha entered the house

"Hello dearie" Kali said as she step out to see her daughter as she smiled

Blake smile happily while approaching her mother "Hi mom" Blake said hugging her mother

"It's nice to see you again, sweetie. I am glad you were able to escape Vale." Kali said while looking at her daughter with concern "Are you okay?" Kali asked as she notice her daughter look at her teammates and sighed

"Physically we are but mentally and emotionally exhausted." Blake said while Kali nod her head understandingly while turning to team RWBY and Pyrrha greeting them in an embrace

"So your leader of menagerie?" Yang asked while Kali nodded as she lead them to the living room

"Please sit down. So you have a story to tell me." Kali asked as Blake began telling her the events.

After several minutes Kali finished processing all the information while processing on how to deal with it

"I guess you and your friends cannot return back to Vale." Kali said while rubbing her chin "I'll have Roger check on any information on the state of Vale." Kali said

"That would be very helpful your majesty." Weiss said politely while Kali nodded and left to talk to Roger as Team RWBY and Pyrrha feel slump on the couch while awaiting any news

"We can relax now." Pyrrha asked hoping to get some good news.

"I can only hope." Ruby replied while Pyrrha nudge her.

"Hey at least we are safe." Pyrrha said comforting Ruby making her feel better.

"At least we have our own family here. Menagerie." Blake said with team RWBY smiled at the name Menagerie.

"Exactly. Now we should relax." Weiss said
