Aftermath

Leon only had enough lifeforce left over to regenerate his torso and organs after the huge consumption of his sharingan had drained away the majority. thankfully the mangekyou reverted back to the three tomoe state removing the drain on his life force. unfortunately the emptiness of his reserves meant that the less important injuries such as his limbs and the concussion that rendered him unconscious didn't get fixed. leaving him out of commission until he naturally healed enough to wake up and fix it manually. genesis swooped down to collect leon carefully before flying to the city in hopes of finding out what they should do now.

With leon and genesis gone the wyvern continued it's flight towards beacon unimpeded making the defenders of vale despair. shortly afterward the official evacuation of vale began with qrow taking both team rwby and team jnpr with him to take refuge at tye's country cottage. many people were displaced to the remaining kingdoms after the fall of vale as the wyvern had nested at the top of the now broken clocktower of beacon. those with a keen eye however would notice faint scars along the entirety of the wyverns body from the hellfire that had eaten away those areas permanently.

Cinder was very unhappy when she saw the state the wyvern was in when it arrived finally as she knew even at her current power that she would be nearly helpless against the beast. the fact that someone had the power to actually hold back the wyvern as well as leave it in such a state left her very uncomfortable. it wasn't mortally wounded or even badly hurt but it's skin and armor looked scorched and charred and unlike most grim the wyvern was actually left with scars from the injuries.

Salem on the other hand was incredibly conflicted since while cinder did indeed complete her original mission , leon had likely been rendered into a dreadful state as a result. this was one of the bad parts about her immortality and corruption , obsession. till now salem had only had a few things she had been obsessed with power , the gods , ozma and now leon. these obsessions were the reason she maintained her sanity despite the millions of years she had lived since the first civilization. her obsession with ozma had morphed after his betrayal into her wanting him to suffer as she has rather than her seeking to have him back again.

Ironically it had seemed as if the gods agreed in this manner as the method ozma used to reincarnate left him broken and in horror as he slowly subsumed the soul of the person he was sent into. sure if he didn't actively try and take over the process could be drawn out making the other persons passing less sad but the end was always the same , only ozma was left in the end. now salem wanted to posses leon for her own as he was special and she wanted to have that for herself in some manner or another.

Leon only showed up being carried by genesis unconscious and missing all of his limbs including his wings and tail at the cottage days later. tye and qrow were the first to see the wretched state leon was in and rushed over to help him. they had known that leon had clashed with the wyvern but weren't aware of what had happened to leon after that as he had been missing this whole time. the only reason genesis had been able to find out where to go was thanks to his ability to track elder dragons honing in on rubies familiar.

Genesis's arrival had created quite the commotion which got the attention of the two teams in the cottage who had been in foul moods since the evacuation. they were horrified when they saw the state leon was in and ruby and yang rushed over to make sure he will live. tye and qrow reassured them that leon would be good as new shortly after he woke up and that it was merely a waiting game at this point.
