Circle were met with a Machine walking towards them. They are described to have a Cyborg Body that is much smoother and streamlined compared to the bulkier designs of the original Prototypes of the Cyber Lin Kuei. He also has the noticeable Wire "Hair" Extensions emerging from the back of their Skull. Several Sections of their Armor contain small Rockets for Jet Propulsion and a Central Power Node is visible on their chest that glows the same color as their eyes. This Machine is none other than Arthur Watts.

Watts: Ironwood, it is not a pleasure to meet you.

When he heard Watts' voice, which sounds deep due to him being a Cyborg. Ironwood's eyes widened once again.

Ironwood: Watts?! You're alive?!

Watts: Ah, yes. My death, I would like to say those Reports regarding my death are greatly exaggerated.

Neo: Watts over here has offered himself to the Cyber Lin Kuei Initiative, allowing his body or mind to be turned into a complete Cyborg.

Watts: And it allowed me to achieve more compared to having a Human Body. The possibilities of Science are endless.

Before Ironwood was about to say something regarding the Cyber Lin Kuei Initiative, about turning them into Cybrogs. Neo stops him.

Neo: We didn't force Watts nor any of our People into this Program. They chose to be a part of this, and paved way for the Cyber Lin Kuei to flourish, and yes, Ironwood. My Cyborgs are far superior than your pathetic AKs.

That annoyed Ironwood, and as he was about to retort something back. Ozpin places his hand on his shoulder.

Ozpin: Now, now, James. It's best not to open old wounds and let us get back to the Main Topic at hand.

Jaune: Indeed, and I will get to the point, knowing how you work. I will not accept any of your proposals, especially those regarding your........Shadow War....

The minute he said that, Jaune sees all of Ozpin's Inner Circle's eyes widening.

Jaune: If you want to know how I knew about your Shadow War. Cinder, Mercury, Emerald, Hazel, and Arthur over here worked for Salem before joining with the Clan.

And again, when he said that, all of their eyes widened, with Ironwood about to bring out his Weapon, Due Process, to apprehend them, his Semblance going haywire when he learned of said Info, but was thankfully stopped by Qrow.

Qrow: Jimmy, don't.

Mercury: I'm surprised you're preventing the Tinman from trying to shoot us. Here I thought you're the one to make the rash decisions considering you're drunk all the time.

Emerald: Knowing what happened with Team RWBY, aka your Nieces.

Qrow: Look, I'm angry by what you did, especially what with Yang. Not even the Doctors can heal that large burn on her face, said it's permanent now.

Jaune smirks under his Helmet. In his head, Yang deserved the pain and suffering she got because of her actions.

Qrow: But I'm not stupid enough to attack any of you or cause trouble. Cause from the legal side of things, they're in the wrong. All of the Evidence of their wrongdoings has been shown to the Public, and from what I saw in Mistral-

Adam: The People want Blood, moreso the fact some Students got out of the punishment due to their connections with the Vale Council.

Emerald: Which allows the Mistral Council to charge the Vale Council with Obstruction of Justice, since this attack in our School can be considered as a Terrorist Attack.

Ozpin remembers the talk he had with the Vale Council. He recalls they were praising the Beacon Students for the attack on the Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu Temple, but were furious of the arrests that were made, stating they were in the right to attack them. He remembers this little dispute caused the Reputation of the Vale Council to plummet even further with both Atlas and Vacuo seeing Vale as harboring numerous Criminals, and the Reputation of Huntsmen and Huntresses turning from bad to worse. Seeing Vale is approving of such Terroristic actions.

Qrow: Like I said, I'm not stupid. The one you should be watching out for is Tai, their Father. Not only did you guys kill Raven, which I knew someday would happen, knowing Raven tends to bark up the wrong Tree, but you got his Daughters arrested and mutilated Yang's face. He was one of the few that begged Ozpin to bail them out or free them without punishment, aka, just a slap to the wrist. Best chance is, he may try to find you and do some damage.

Goodwitch: Qrow!! Why would you tell them this!?

Qrow: Because these guys know about Salem. So I'm playing nice so we don't make an Enemy out of them. I'm not Jimmy.

Ironwood: Ha, ha, very funny, Qrow.

Neo: 'But what he said is true. You like to make an Enemy out of everyone you meet'

Jaune: Still think I'm not worthy in your eyes, Goodbitch? I already proved you wrong numerous of times now, and yet, your deluded and fragile ego is preventing you to do so.

What he said made Goodwitch glare at him.

Goodwitch: I standby what I said. You were unfit for combat from the start, and now you being a Teacher. I don't see you have the means to make your Students strong, unlike what we can do in Beacon.

Jaune: That's where you are wrong. The Lin Kuei has the means of turning the Weakest Student into the Strongest. Everyone becomes strong in their own pace. You need to have the patience for it. And you, fail in that. What I see is you're all rushing out Huntsmen and Huntresses to send out to your Shadow War, where they will die for a Cause they don't even know about.

Ozpin: Mr. Liang, that is not my intention.

Jaune: Is it? And let me remind you, Goodbitch. You for one, never see potential in others, only seeing it through a Piece of Paper. Everyone is skilled in their own right, some being untapped where it needs to be awakened with the right guidance. I have seen many of those amongst my Students. Whereas you want this Teachings of yours to be over with it. My methods are harsh, but there is a lesson to be learned from it. As for you, it is nothing short of insults. I want you to remember that when the Lin Kuei defeats your Students.

Neo: And let me tell you this. From the Info we have gotten from the Council along with other Officials in the Huntsmen Guilds, majority of the Rogues that the Clan have dealt with, most, if not, majority of them came from Beacon, and they were your Students.

Goodwitch's response to this was to grit her teeth in anger, already hating that she is being mocked and insulted by the Fraud and his Allies. Thankfully, she was stopped from lashing out on them when Ozpin looked at her and shook his head "No". Then he turns his attention to the Ninjas.

Ozpin: But may I ask you all this, why did you forego serving with Salem and decided to join Mr. Liang?

Hazel: Jaune helped me see the error of my ways. That my actions will create the very People that brought me to this situation in the first place. I joined, to honor Gretchen's memory and fight for a cause she would choose to do.

Watts: The rest of us were offered a better choice in Life. I believe Salem would have discarded us if our use has been fulfilled, and compared to Jaune, he won't.

Ozpin: Does she know you left her Inner Circle?

Hazel: No, and we are going to use that opportunity until it's time to strike.

Ironwood: Then this can be the perfect chance to attack Salem!! Not when she knows her own People are against her!!

Cinder: Sorry, we won't be doing that just yet.

Ironwood: What? Why?! Salem doesn't know you've sided with Ozpin!! This is your chance to catch her by surprise!!

Jaune: First off, they sided with me, not Ozpin. Secondly, we have reasons, and I believe you should look at this yourself.

He gestures Neo to step forward as she presses a Button on her Gauntlet, causing a small Panel to open up as it showcases multiple Holographic Screens of the Vale Council. But what's noticeable in these Screens, is Salem's Seers speaking to the Council on numerous occasions.

Jaune: We have Video Footage of Salem's Seers meeting up with the Vale Council. It seems they are in liege with Salem. Explains why they love to screw your over.

This made Ozpin realized so many things. Why many of Vale's Huntsmen keep dying by the Grimm, especially the Council sending them on much dangerous Missions in the more High-Level Grimm Areas, why the Council kept sabotaging any means to upgrade or better the Training of the Students in Beacon, the rumors of them stealing so many of the Kingdom's Funds, keeping him on a tight leash, allowing the White Fang, mainly Tyrian's White Fang to do Operations in Public, even ignoring the supposed "Spies" that Lionheart sent to Beacon, while focusing more on Jaune's Transcripts, getting rid of a potential Student. It all makes sense now, the Vale Council were doing anything they can to sabotage Ozpin's means of getting an edge against Salem.

Goodwitch: And what makes you think we'll believe this Evidence? All we know this is a way for you to take out the Vale Council.

Watts: Fool, we worked for Salem. Of course we know who her Agents are.

Hazel: And we personally went to the Vale Council to threaten them to accomplish the demands Salem gave to them. So, yes. This Evidence is real cause we were there when it happened.

Ironwood: And what do you suppose you're going to do with this Evidence?

Jaune: Present it to the Council of Mistral, as we have plans to reveal Salem to the entirety of Mistral.

This made all of Ozpin's Inner Circle shocked.

Qrow: Wait, you plan to reveal Salem to all of Mistral?

Ironwood: Are you insane?! Why would you do that?!

Jaune: To show Mistral who the real threat is. Besides being an ally of the Military, I have People in the Criminal Underworld that can control them, keep them in line. The Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu will ensure nobody in this Kingdom will side with Salem. If they do, they will meet a swift end.

Cinder: Not only that, the Mistralian Military has the firepower and Weaponry to eliminate large Hordes of Grimm. You haven't seen what they are capable of, General. But we have.

Ozpin: Mr. Liang, even if you have the firepower to take out the Grimm in the Land of Darkness. Are you sure it's wise to do this? Salem is a force to be reckoned with.

Jaune: We know, and we're not afraid. The entirety of Mistral will know about Salem soon. We will use this to unite the Kingdom and take the fight to Salem in a matter of Weeks. There is nothing you can do to stop us.

Ironwood: You're out of you mind!! If we can't beat Salem. What more you?!

Jaune: Because we have the means to do it. You all fail to see the Clue you needed was right in front of you this whole time.

Cinder: As well as the one thing she wants.

She was then handed the same Lantern that was used to absorb the Spring Maiden's Powers from Raven. Ozpin sees the Lantern and felt the Magical Energy flowing through it, he does know what it is, but he has a feeling he is supposed to, but just can't find the answer to his question, and his reaction was noticed by Cinder.

Cinder: To answer your question, Ozpin. It is as what you think it is. This Lantern here contains the Power of the the Maidens.

This made Ozpin's eyes widened, how is this possible? There is no Device or Artifact in Remnant capable of such a feat. Well, Jaune has his ways.

Cinder: Those we have in our possession are Spring, Summer, and-

???: Fall.

A voice calls out as a burst of Flames appears on Jaune's side, revealing a Woman who is donning orange and black Ninja Garbs, along with Armor Pieces by her shins, and wears an orange Mask. This here is none other than Amber.

Amber being here shocked Ozpin's Inner Circle, especially the fact that they recognized her voice, mainly Qrow did.

Qrow: Amber?! You're with them?!

Amber: Yes, I am.

Ozpin: And may I ask why you decided to join with them and not inform us about this? As a matter of fact, how were you able to slip past us, knowing we needed to keep a close eye on you after the extent of your injuries.

Amber glanced over to Cinder, still not forgiving her for what she did and is still awaiting that Duel, as she turns her attention back to Ozpin.

Amber: They gave me a better means than serving a Shadow War where I will be nothing more than a Pawn and a Casualty. At least in the Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu, I can do more good and have the proper training to use my newfound Powers. By that, I mean something else that is not the Fall Maiden's Power.

Ironwood: Do you intend to tell us what these Powers are?

Jaune and his Friends looked at Ironwood like he was an Idiot. Why would he ask that when they are right in front of him?

Amber: No.

Before Ironwood can press this even further, Ozpin stops him and spoke to the Group. Despite Amber not being part of the Inner Circle or is supposedly not the Fall Maiden anymore, he is glad that the Power of the three other Maidens is in safe hands. Although some People say otherwise.

Ozpin: I take it you wish to acquire the Winter Maiden's Powers?

Jaune: Yes, it will be vital to our plan in defeating Salem.

Ironwood: Absolutely not.

Qrow: Really? The Kid made our Job a whole lot easier. Give him the Winter Maiden, Jimmy.

Goodwitch: I'm sorry, Qrow. But I agree with James. Giving him the Winter Maiden will be a big mistake.

Ozpin: No, it is not.

The two looked at Ozpin with shocked expressions while Qrow is in agreement with this. If the Kid has a way to defeat Salem and end this War, he'll take it in a heartbeat.

Ozpin: If what Mr. Liang said is true. That he has a means to defeat Salem, then I will offer him the Winter Maiden's Powers. After all, they have the three Maidens at their disposal, if all four are complete. Then they are in safe hands, and I trust Mr. Liang can keep it away from the clutches of Salem.

Amber: 'Unlike you'

Ozpin: But, I fear you have other demands you wish to ask of me.

Jaune: Not much, only that you let Team RWBY and the other Beacon Students get their punishment. Like I said, Mistral won't take kindly to letting you give them a slap to the wrist. They need to pay the consequences, and with us finishing off Salem. You won't need anymore Pawns for this Shadow War.

Ozpin: Very well, but expect Taiyang Xiao Long along with the Families of the Students to have a word with you about this.

Jaune just scoffs, he's not afraid of Tai or any of those Families in Beacon. If they try something in Mistral, their Lives and Reputation are over before they realized it.

Jaune: I will update you if I have anymore requests, Ozpin. In the meantime, we'll take our leave so we can enjoy the amenities here.

The Group bows, but Jaune had some words to say to Ironwood.

Jaune: Oh. And word of advice, General. If you dare attack the Lin Kuei or Shirai Ryu, it's an attack on Mistral. And I don't suppose you aren't foolish enough to declare War on a Kingdom?

He says so with a smirk that annoyed Ironwood as they took their leave, with Ozpin and his Inner Circle watching them enter the Mansion.

Goodwitch: Ozpin, it's a mistake in trusting him. And James, do you think you can get the Atlas Military to seize the Lantern from Mr. Liang? I don't trust he has the means to keep the Maiden's Powers safe along with keeping Amber in their Temple.

Qrow: Glynda, really? The Kid can do a better Job than we can.

Ozpin: Qrow's right, I trust Mr. Liang to keep both the Lantern and Amber safe from Salem's hands. He has the means to know what she has planned, and Glynda, if you have James and the Atlas Military go to the Lin Kuei Temple, it will lead to another Great War with Mistral. So please, don't do something drastic just because he proved you wrong.

Goodwitch: If you say so, Ozpin.

As the Inner Circle continues talking, Hazel was glancing at them before speaking to Jaune.

Hazel: You didn't tell them about Salem being Immortal?

Jaune: There is no point. It will further anger Ironwood and force him to take action, and I highly doubt Goodbitch will believe me.

Hazel: Very well, but it was entertaining to see you tear Ozpin a new one.

Jaune: I aim to please.

He says as the Group heads back inside the Mansion.

Timeskip

After that hectic conversation with Ozpin's Inner Circle, Jaune and his Group head back inside the Mansion, finally enjoying the pleasantries in the Dining Hall. But like with Jaune's luck in majority of these Timelines, they were met with his Family, his Parents; Johnathan and Angela, then his Sisters; Ophelia, Cecilia, Delilah, Saffron, Lilith, Brenna, and Viviana. Then his Uncle and Aunt; Jacob and Meredith. There was a stare down with the two Groups until Johnathan was the first to speak.

Johnathan: Son.

Jaune: Father.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jacob walks over to Jaune and bows in respect, with Jaune and his Group doing the same as Johnathan was confused by this.

Johnathan: What are you doing?

Jacob: Showing a sign of respect. Jaune's Clan practices values that learn and show the meaning of Respect. And I wish to do the same to show my gratitude on what he has done for Remnant and its People.

Johnathan: Oh right, his Clan.

He said "Clan" with utter disdain, which made Jaune and Cinder glare at him, as all the Family were surprised to see Cinder here, after she was banished from the Family.

Johnathan: And it seems you're here as well, Cinder.

Cinder: Yes, I am. But I didn't come here to see you nor accept any proposal to be taken back to your Family, nor will I let Jaune be taken away from me. We're sticking by each other's side and there is nothing you can do to stop us.

Before Johnathan was about to retort something back, Jacob interrupted him.

Jacob: Are you staying here for the night, Jaune?

Jaune: No, we will be leaving soon. I only wanted to see a few of my Family Relatives before I head back to the Temple to prepare for the next set of Lessons to give the Students. Although, I question why Ozpin is here after what the Idiots in Beacon did the other day.

Meredith: Ozpin is here because he is an acquaintance to some of the Military Officials in the Party. This Invite was before the Attack on the Temple happened.

Cinder: I see.

Meredith: Did he cause any trouble for you? If so, we will escort him out of the premises.

Cinder: No, just had a talk. Simple as that.

Jacob: Good. Speaking of which, Jaune. Meredith and I would like to congratulate you, first you made a
