This is neat
Rain poured on the body of Jaune Arc as he laid down on the scorched ground motionless as Cinder Fall limped away clutching at her sides. The scars of conflict shared on both their bodies, but it would seem that Cinder Fall would once again walk away victorious from this encounter.
Jaune: ...
???: Get up.
Jaune lifeless eyes stared at the clouds.
???: Get. Up.
Moving his head ever so slightly, Jaune looked and saw... himself as the Rusted Knight.
Rusted Knight: No one's coming to save you...
Rusted Knight: Get Up!
Jaune: ...
Rusted Knight: It has to be you...it's all on you! No one else is coming.
Rusted Knight: You have to keep moving! Push forward!
Jaune: ...
Rusted Knight: You can't let them hold your hand anymore!
Vision of his friends danced before his eyes.
Rusted Knight: You have to do this by yourself!
Rusted Knight: You're all alone.
Rusted Knight: If you don't, everyone you care for is going to die... even her!
Jaune: !
The Rusted Knight faded, and the face of his younger self from his time in Beacon manifested.
V3 Jaune: So get up! GET UP! Please! Do you always have to let everyone down!?
V3 Jaune: You can't be weak this time. You have to keep going!
V3 Jaune: With everything you have! Keep going!
Jaune: ...
V3 Jaune: It doesn't matter if it hurts... it doesn't matter!
V3 Jaune: Get up gods dammit!
V3 Jaune: Get up!
His Beacon self faded before a little child manifested before him, and it was him as a little boy, the little boy who always wanted to be a hero.
Little Jaune: Please.

Cinder: That...damned Arc... when did he get this strong...
Cinder felt her wounds begin to heal up as the fall maiden powers worked overtime.
Cinder: Tch...the humiliation of someone as pathetic as him driving me to my absolute...I'll make sure to skin that girlfriend of his alive!
Suddenly, she heard rustling of the grass rustle behind her and, to her surprise, stood Jaune.
Jaune:
Cinder: ...
The Knight said nothing as he drew his blade to the stupefied Fall Maiden.
Cinder: You just don't know when to stay down, do you, Arc!
Jaune: ...
Cinder: I was content with letting you die in the rain, but I'll burn you away to ash just like I did to Pyrrha!
Jaune: ....
Cinder: She'll have nothing but the ashes to remember you by, and that's only for shortwhile before I kill her myself!
The man said nothing, and Cinder snarled flames exuding from her mouth in rage as she blasted forward to the Knight who met her halfway.
Cinder: DIE JAUNE ARC!!!!!
