Revision is now in effect. Tried to fix previous issues.

Chapter 1: Divine Destiny

So long has been a time when Tamriel is truly at peace.

The Mede Dynasty fell and a new dynasty emerges from the ashes. A new Dragonborn Emperor.

After Alduin's defeat, all dragons surrendered to the Dovahkiin and offered their loyalty to him, as his Thu'um overpowered theirs. Some dragons resisted this subjugation, but they were soon slain by the hands of the Dragonborn. And with this, warfare evolved. Air superiority now has been established and this helped to make the war shorter and unite Tamriel as it once was.

The Imperial Legion improved during The Second Great War. The new Talos' Batallion used shock tactics and smaller platoon groups making them easy to maneuver and deadly in combat. The battalion led the way for victories in Black Marsh as moving troops in large columns there are near impossible.

And with this, they began their final assaults and offensives to end the Dominion's grip on Tamriel, reconquering Black Marsh, Elsweyr and Valenwood all in just six months. After that, they began their Invasion of Summerset Isles which ended with a remarkable success. The Thalmor unconditionally surrendered to the Empire of Tamriel, bringing an era of warfare to a close.

His armies defeated the Aldmeri Dominion. The Empire of the Elves crushed by the Empire of Man. And without the influence of the hated Thalmor, he gave Skyrim the freedom to worship Talos. Thus the Era of Elven Supremacy came to an end, and a much needed new peaceful era emerged.

He restructured the land, appointing those who are loyal to him but with the mind of rebuilding at hand. Road systems to connect remote parts of the Empire to its populous cities, infrastructures destroyed from the Second Great War is being rebuilt. Valenwood, Hammerfell, and the Eastern and Southern parts of Cyrodiil also is in the process of having their infrastructures fixed and reconstructed.

It has only been three years since this happened, yet the Empire is at the peak of its power and it is still growing. Some historians compare this time to Tiber Septim's, Pelagius IV's and Uriel VI's. The Empire is strong, united, yet diverse, all thanks to its ruler. Yet, they are now weary of war.

The Synods and the College of Whispers were abolished and the Mages Guild was reformed. But it didn't come without opposition. Some try to persuade the Emperor into bringing back those two, even giving him very expensive gifts. But all of those are futile, the Emperor is adamant to abolish the two since they withhold information for the sake of influence and power.

The Fighters Guild was also re-established due to the need of manpower to protect the people of Tamriel with Lydia being its Guild Master.

Improvements in Magicka, Dwemer Technocraft and Tactics were developed. Communications using magicka like Crystal Orbs and Telepathy were also developed and rediscovered.

Truly those last six years happened incredibly fast. From the Dragon Crisis and the Stormcloak Rebellion to the death of Titus Mede II. Then to the Interregnum and appointing the Dragonborn by the Elder Council as the new Emperor of the new dynasty. And finally, the Second Great War and the Unification of Tamriel under one banner.

6 months ago. In Remnant.

Pyrrha woke up groggily from her bed. She took a glance at her scroll and there it said, "5:30 a.m." This is would be a typical day for her. Ever since she got into Beacon, life became less about impressing others but more about just helping her team become what they dreamed to be, Huntsmen and Huntresses. And every typical day was extra special due to her team leader and secret crush, Jaune Arc.

Even though that he "needs improvement" in combat and can't even win a single fight during combat class, he has that charm that makes her heart covered in warmth. He may be weak, scraggly or even goofy looking, but it is part of his charm. She constantly helps him every day whether it can be academics or combat, she always does her best to help her secret crush. Giving away slight hints that she likes him but those always end in a failure.

A certain heiress, however, caught Jaune's heart. Her name being Weiss Schnee. He constantly tries to court her, but everytime those attempts fail. Weiss wants nothing to do with Jaune but still, he serenades her, asking her out on dates and even tried cooking for her. It breaks her heart to see that Jaune doesn't notice her feelings but if it makes Jaune happy, so will she surrender to it, sacrificing her happiness in the process.

She stretched her arms up high and got ready for her morning routine exercise at the gym. She went to the bathroom to change into her workout clothes and when she is done she stepped out of it. Pyrrha looked at Jaune's bed and noticed that it was empty. His scroll was still there on his bed but there are no parts of his armor anywhere.

She wondered why he woke up earlier than her, knowing that he is dead tired after their training last night. But she just shrugged and thought that maybe he is either training on his own or just at the kitchen, cooking something for Weiss. She sighed on the latter thought and went to the gym for her exercise.

After she is done with her morning routine, she took a bath and changed into her uniform. Once again, she looked at Jaune's bed and still, it was intact. It looks exactly the same as what she saw earlier.

She then glanced at her scrolls and read the time. 7:00 a.m. Enough time to have breakfast. Maybe Jaune's in the cafeteria.

She went to the cafeteria and grabbed her salad for breakfast. She then noticed Team RWBY in their usual spot, eating their breakfasts. Ruby was munching happily with cookies and milk. Weiss was eating a balance of meat and vegetables. Yang had a hamburger while Blake just ate tuna.

"Good morning, guys!" Pyrrha happily waved at them.

They all said their greetings to Pyrrha and she sat there eating her breakfast without her partner.

"Say, P-Money, where's Vomit Boy at?" Yang questioned her as she took a bite of her burger.

She sighed, "I don't know. I haven't seen him since I woke up."

"What? Does he plan to serenade me again? Ughhh." Weiss said in disgust.

"Come on, Weiss. His singing isn't that bad." Pyrrha reasoned to her.

"His voice isn't bad but every day he just constantly asks me out on a date! It just makes me...ugh!" Weiss ranted.

Pyrrha chuckled nervously, "Well..." She just sighed and ate her meal. Sometimes, she just wants to slap Weiss for insulting Jaune like that. She constantly asks herself, "Why doesn't she see that Jaune is a kind man? That even though he may look like a weakling, he has a mind of a tactician?"

Nora and Ren joined them as well, greeting team RWBY and Pyrrha. But still, Jaune didn't appear. "Ren, did you saw Jaune this morning?" Pyrrha said to the stoic boy.

"No, I didn't saw him." He took a sip of his tea, "Why?"

"I haven't seen him since I woke up. His scroll is on his bed so there's no way I could contact him." Pyrrha said as, at this point, she is getting worried.

Ruby saw this and put a hand on her shoulder, "Relax, Pyrrha! Maybe he just went to Vale for an important thing or had a talk with the professors."

Pyrrha slightly calmed down, "Yeah. Maybe. But there are classes today so why would he go to Vale?" She then stood up from her seat, "I'll go talk to Headmaster Ozpin."

Before she could even leave, Ren wrapped his hand around her wrist, "Aren't you overreacting a bit, Pyrrha? We know, Jaune. Maybe he just went somewhere that he just doesn't want us to know."

"But Jaune has never been secretive to us, Ren. Maybe the transcripts but other than that, he has been open to us. So I have to find him." Pyrrha went to the door, leaving a worried Ren and Nora staring at her.

Headmaster Ozpin was having quite a relaxing start for a day. No reports from Qrow, or even his students destroying something that he needs to pay for. No, just his coffee brewer and his mug. The Headmaster hummed as he prepared his coffee. Pouring black ground coffee on his expensive coffee brewer and some water.

He waited for a few minutes until the decanter was full of delicious brewed coffee. He poured a generous amount into his mug and took a sip. Satisfied with the taste of the coffee, he relaxed on his swivel chair, staring at the view of Vale.

His solitude was broken when someone entered his office. He turned his chair and saw that it was Pyrrha Nikos.

"Ms. Nikos," He straightened his posture and placed the mug on the table, "How can I help you?"

"May I take a seat, sir?"

"Sure." Pyrrha then took the seat.

Pyrrha breath deeply, "Sir, where's Jaune?"

"Mr. Arc?" Ozpin raised his eyebrows, "I don't know Ms. Nikos. Isn't he on your team?"

Pyrrha shook her head, "No, sir. He hasn't been in our room since morning. I looked at the cafeteria, the gym, even in our room but still, I can't find him, sir. I can't also contact him since his scroll is on his bed. Please, sir, I need your help." She begged.

Ozpin took out his scroll. He then reviewed and search for any signs of Jaune on every security footage in Beacon. He then noticed his last appearance was last night with him entering their dorm. After that, there was no sign of him. Strange.

"I have searched and reviewed all the footage with our security cameras, Ms. Nikos. The last time that Jaune appeared on any footage was him entering your room at 10:00 p.m. And the first one that got out of your room was you, Ms. Nikos."

"WHAT?!" She then saw the footage. She viewed and reviewed it over and over again but still, there was no sign of Jaune. She pulled her hair and growled in frustration, "How did he just disappeared like that?!"

"We share the same sentiments, Ms. Nikos." Ozpin then took a gulp of his coffee, "How did Mr. Arc disappear? Beacon has top notch security but still, footage from the Emerald Forest and the Bullhead Platforms suggests that he disappeared out of thin air."

Ozpin then took another sip, "Ms. Nikos. Find Jaune Arc, together with your team. I would exempt you from any class today since you need to use that time to find him. I would also include Team RWBY to your search team. Find him. That is an order. Understood?" The headmaster said firmly.

Pyrrha was glad that the headmaster was on her side. She nodded, "Thank you, Headmaster." And took her leave down the elevator.

Ozpin relaxed on the chair and emptied his mug of coffee. He needs Jaune. On the surface, Jaune might be a terrible fighter, but he saw in him a talented tactician. Even though he enrolled with fake transcripts, he took interest in what the boy might offer for his battle against Salem. His talent shows promise and he wasn't going to allow destiny to meddle in his affairs.

Pyrrha was worried sick about Jaune. When she informed Nora and Ren about Ozpin's mandate, they too had the same reaction. Nora, scarfed her morning pancakes quickly to search for her so-called "Fearless Leader." While Ren considered Jaune as his brother and he wasn't going to let him disappear like that.

They then informed Team RWBY that Jaune disappeared. Yang, Ruby, and Blake were ready to help on searching for him, especially Ruby. But Weiss, when she learned of this, was quite happy that he disappeared. She no longer has to listen to his subpar serenades and words of courtship! She felt somewhat free! But the fact that she too has to search for him was a bummer to her.

They then searched every nook and cranny of Beacon but Jaune was nowhere and disappeared without a trace. They tried searching at Vale but still, it came to no fruition. But deep inside them, except Weiss, was a lingering hope that they can still find their friend.

But that hope was being tested as days became weeks and weeks became months. Still, no sign of him. No phone call, no anything. Nothing. They tried contacting his family if he went home. They then were met by an angry Arc patriarch and a grieving matriarch who were calling for Jaune to go home and return Crocea Mors.

His disappearance took a toll on the morale of Team RWBY and the remaining Team NPR. They deeply missed him and the mystery of his disappearance just makes it even more frustrating to find him.

Ruby tried to distract herself from this and kept to herself. Weiss, even though that she hated him with passion before, somehow misses him. She is still adamant to admit it but deep inside her heart, she at least wanted to say sorry.

Yang supported Ruby throughout all of this. She already faced her father being depressed and she still has the capacity to do so to her sister. Blake was sad a few days but still, she supported her team leader despite Jaune not interacting with her that much.

Nora, for a whole month, didn't eat pancakes and didn't seem all that lively anymore, while Ren thought he lost a real brother, that for a month he didn't seem to meditate that well.

After a month of no lead, Pyrrha reluctantly accepted her new role as the new leader of Team NPR. But she became more distant with her teammates. There are nights when she cries alone in the balcony where the two of them trained and prayed there to whoever Supreme Being listens to her plea. She prayed and prayed that one day her partner would come back. But now those days turned to six months, but every day she prayed. Her hope that he would come back never faltering.

They didn't understand why Jaune disappeared like that and half of them blamed themselves for his disappearance. Even mentioning his name is quite taboo to them that they would shut up and contemplate for a while. They all missed him so much.

But little did they know that his destiny lies in another realm, to face a foe mightier than the Grimm could ever imagine. The Nine Divines knew of Pyrrha's pleas but he is needed to save Tamriel from Akatosh's unruly son.

6 years ago, Border of Cyrodill and Skyrim.

Jaune rose up from his deep slumber. He groaned in discomfort as he noticed that he didn't sleep on a bed. Rather, he slept on a tree. He saw his armor and clothes still with him, but his weapon and scroll were gone.

"Where...am I?" He muttered to himself. He speculated that maybe he is in Emerald Forest...for some reason.

He walked through the woods, searching for any sign of anything. Pyrrha, Ruby, just anything that would help him. But he didn't notice the watch tower that he was going to cross.

Then he noticed that there were arrows that are being shot at him. He then ran fast for his life, but soon enough his stamina waned and he flopped to the ground. A guard then approached him, pointing his sword at his throat.

"STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!" The guard was wearing an armor reminiscent of the Great War of Remnant. His armor has an outline with chiseled abs and pecks and he has a steel helmet. "Nobody crosses the border to Skyrim in my watch without a permit! And oh? No gold? It's off to jail then!"

"Sir! I'm just lost, I don't even know where I am!" Jaune pleaded to the guard.

"You are at the border of Cyrodiil and Skyrim, specifically between Province of Bruma of Cyrodiil and Falkreath Hold of Skyrim."

"Cyrodiil? Bruma? Where in Remnant is that?" The guard growled as he heard this but Jaune quickly raised his hands up, "Please! I really don't know those places! Please, can I just ask one question?"

The guard nodded cautiously, "D-Do you know the Kingdom of Vale, sir?"

"No." The guard's gaze hardened, "And the Kingdom of Vale? I don't know what you're talking about, criminal scum. Now stand and put your hands on your back!"

"But-!"

"Just do it!"

"Okay! Okay!" Jaune stood up and did what he was told. The guard tied his both of his hands together so that he couldn't escape and commanded Jaune to follow him. When they got to the gate, there was a wagon with three prisoners. As they were about to depart, Jaune was loaded on that wagon and it then went to Helgen.

Jaune didn't know what is going to happen to him. Last night, he was having a training with Pyrrha. Now, he is being treated like a prisoner. They don't even know the Kingdom of Vale, despite it being widely known in Remnant. Jaune never even heard of Skyrim, the place where he is right now. He is just confused and scared at the same time on what is going to happen.

A land where Dust, Semblance, and Grimm don't exist and he is just put on the table to turn the tide. A threat far greater than the Grimm could ever imagine will strike fear into the hearts of mortals. A thing that they thought was only a legend would appear in front of their eyes as a part of an actual history. But it is Jaune's destiny to save Tamriel from this threat. And the Nine Divines summoned him for this threat to be dealt with. The Last Dragonborn.
