Age of Stars

[A/N: Retconned Morgott as Ironwood at the last minute so uhh... Have fun, I guess]
A few minutes after the last chapter...

"Welcome back! Now that we're all rested and ready. Shall we begin?" Saber asked as her audience reentered the room.

"So we still watching the same universe, right?" Ruby asked before speeding for her chair.

"Quite. Though, I feel were running out of time. As such I've elected to show you the summary of the Tarnished's journey. Followed by some of his more epic fights such as the two demigods post-Battle of Aeonia." Saber explained to Ruby as she set the stage.

"Let's get to it then." Qrow and Tai said as they took their respective seats.

And with that, everyone was now in their respective seats, and the stage was set... for probably the next five chapters.

Make of thyselves that which ye desires

An image of Jaune walking slowly under the moonlight as the scene transitions to him opening two heavy doors.

Be it a lord. Be it a God. But should ye fail to be ought at all

"Pretty cool not gonna lie." Yang said slackjawed.

The scene changes to the inhabitants of Leyndell looking towards the burning Erdtree.

Ye will be forsaken

Jaune dodges the gigantic hammer of the Tree Sentinel

Amounting only to sacrifices...

"Holy smokes! That guy was huge!" Nora said, making gestures to the screen.

"The narrator sounds like Pyrrha, doesn't it?" Jaune pointed out.

"The words she spoke however, were quite interesting. As if she was detached from all worldly attachments; cold, emotionless, and pragmatic, yet..." Ozpin trails off.

"Yet, her words hold a weight of affection few except those she intends to tell can spot." Summer finished for the professor.

"Exactly." Ozpin nodded

So it was thee, who would become my lord.

Weiss looked at Jaune.

I bid thee, travel the path of the lord.

The scene shifts to Jaune walking towards a familiar silhouette as embers fly in the wind.

And once all is done, we will see each other

Once more...

"Can't say I didn't see that one coming." Sun said with a small laugh.

"Weiss and Jaune, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Nora chanted simultaneously with... A mute Neo?

"I mean, spoiler alert?" Saber rolled her eyes awkwardly.

Thy kind are all of a piece

A gangly looking Ironwood swiftly grabbed his cane.

And the scene transitions to the bridge at Stormveil as Jaune and Ironwood clashed.

Then the scene transitioned again...

Ironwood unleashed hundreds of daggers as they fell from the sky, which Jaune responds with a lightning attack only for Ironwood to close the distance.

Pillagers emboldened by the flame of ambition

Jaune stabs a blood soaked Taiyang

"Badass..." Yang whistled in approval while Sun, Neptune, and Ruby clapped their hands.

"Not bad, kid." Tai said.

The only way to stand before the Elden Ring

Salem is shown crucified by a yellowish beam which began to crack.

Is to pass the thorns

Jaune stood at the entrance of the Erdtree only to be met with its indestructible thorns.

My purpose serves to aid in the very act

Pyrrha stood before Jaune as the flames spread to her body

I can set the Erdtree aflame

The flames began to spread around Pyrrha's body when the screen turned black.

Everyone stood silent as the watched the scene unfold.

"A kindling maiden. Who's purpose is only purpose is to burn." Saber said.

"Isn't there some other way?" Weiss asked clearly unnverved by the revelation.

"Sure, there is. But first, let me ask you..." Saber said to the heiress.

"What?" Weiss tilted her head at the goddess.

"What are you willing to sacrifice? To save one soul." Saber asked all of them. After moments of silence, Saber smirks in victory until Jaune spoke up.

"I'd sacrifice everything. If it meant saving the friend who believed in me." Jaune said with finality.

"A fool, then. After all, only a fool would deal in absolutes." Saber shook her head.

The scene begins as Cinder unleashes Destined Death against Jaune in a duel of finesse and a dance of blades.

Witless Tarnished. Why covet Destined Death?

To kill what?

The scene cuts to Jaune dashing away from the Elden Beast.

"The transitions are godlike." Velvet compliments.

"Really? That's what you're going with? How about What the fuck was that flying goo monster!" Qrow pointed to the Elden pupper.

Jaune clashed with Ozma as the memory of his first clash against the shardbearers clouded his mind and the nigh similarities of the fight.

"I have no words... Truly he's come a long way if that's all we have to go by." Ozpin said.

I know in my bones. A Tarnished... Cannot become a Lord.

Jaune stands in front of a black red mist as the Rune of Death is freed once more.

Not even. You.

Jaune now stands in the ashes of the old capital as the flames that Pyrrha created spreads throughout the Erdtree.

"Observe." Jaune said simply as the video continued.

I have given thee courtesy. Enough.

An elderly Taiyang roared as he stood between Jaune and the entrance of the Erdtree.

"No. Absolutely not." Qrow shut it down before Tai could suggest anything stupid.

"Look Qrow, all I'm saying is. I could totally do that." Tai shrugged.

Weiss arms are seen grasping the broken head of Queen Salem as she raises it parallel it to its body.

I do solemnly swear.

To every living being, and every living soul.

Weiss continued as Salem's body dissolved into dust in the winds.

Now cometh, the Age of the Stars

A thousand year voyage under the wisdom of the moon.

"Beautiful. Ruby muttered as she saw the moon on the video.

"Which one?" Yang teased her sister.

"Both. Both is good." Ruby replied still staring at the screen.

There is in mine service, a half-wolven warrior named Blake

Jaune approaches a tall wolf woman armed with a greatsword standing by the fire.

"Aw, hell nah! I am not a dog." Blake hissed from her seat.

"Well, technically you're a wolf." Sun pointed out.

"Same difference." Blake glared at the monkey faunus.

I would have thee join her, in searching for the hidden treasure of Nokron, the Eternal City.

Scenes of Jaune's several clashes with the Ancestral Spirit were shown, and then followed by her entry into Raya Lucaria Academy.

Into the fray, together mate. Just don't go dying on me... For Weiss's sake too.

"Aww.... Weiss cares." Nora cooed.

"That one maybe. But I for one don't care like that." Weiss denies.

I take it you've heard of the Eternal City of Nokstella? Well, it has a twin known as Nokron the other eternal city.

Jaune is shown taking the elevator as the image of Nokron hang above him

"Klein? What's he got to do with all this?" Willow tilted her head in confusion.

"Klein, is the war counselor of Weiss. And one of her ardent supporters." Saber answers.

"Its good to know that Klein hasn't changed, even in another universe." The Schnees smiled fondly.

The comets rained by the thousands as Jaune watched in awe.

The stars alter the fate of the Schnee Royal Family.

And the fate of your mistress, Weiss. If General Winter were to die...

The stars would resume their movement.

"Quite the tall order. This Winter looks every bit the strong warrior." Ironwood said.

"Hmmph. As if Winter could he beaten by some no name with a sword." Weiss scoffed.

"Hate to rain on your parade princess. But he did beat her. Thus the starss." Yang pointed out.

"Though to be fair she got ganked on by like 10 other guys with Jaune." Saber said in consolation.

The screen began to shake as a massive Winter sized comet came crashing down against Jaune.

A celebration of war! The Winter Festivaaal!

Jaune is shown narrowly dodging Winter's attack as she fends off her attackers.

Then it shows Winter howling at sky.

"The curtain is rising on the final act." Blake says to Jaune. And a flashforward of him narrowly escaping the barrage of meteors hurled by the eldritch horror, known as Astel.

"Holllyy smokes! Its like intiation on steroids." Nora gaped at the fast paced dodging.

Blake and Klein, both. Arth willing to give too much to me.

Jaune is shown riding away from a blue dragon.

Yet they both understand, what lieth beyond the dark path...

The dragon swoops in, with her frost blade.

"This guy fights demigods and proceeds to casually dodge a dragon wielding sword." Tai said impressed.

"I know right." King agrees.

That I must betray everything. And rid the world of what came before.

"You. And only you, are Lady Weiss's true champion. I pray that you serve her well... Unti the very end." Klein's words echo, as Jaune slips the ring onto Weiss's finger.

Here beginneth the chill night that encompasses all, reaching the great beyond.

Into fear, doubt, and loneliness...

As the path stretches into darkness.

Well then? Shall we?

She outstretches her hand for Jaune to hold.

My dear consort, eternal

••••••••

"Chills literal chills." Ruby breathed out.

"Congratulations Jaune. Now we know you end up with the ice queen in one universe." Sun pats Jaune in the back.

"Thanks?"

"Now then... Wanna see him fight stuff?" Saber said pulling out five recording shards.

"Heck yeah!" Nora cheered for Jaune.

"Why the heck not." Sun and Neptune nodded.

"Gents. Let's get this show on the road." King smirked as he immediately took hold of a flowery red shard.

•••••••••
A/N: So the next one isn't gonna be based on a YouTube vid but rather my own fight with a bit of narrative mixed in.

Also. Yes. It is the Malenia fight.

Have a nice day/evening/afternoon
