"HIIIIYAAAAAAAAAA!" Nora swung her mighty hammer, striking poor Sky Lark dead into his chest. The force being hit was so devastating that it shot the boy out of his boots, through the roof, and high into the sky. "FEAR THE PANCAKE QUEEN!" she exclaimed, pumping her hammer high in another swift victory.

Professor Goodwitch held the urge to face palm. Great, another potion to add to the ever growing budget. If things went on like this, she will have to limit the spending on Vacuo coffee brew by at least twenty-five perfect from the school budget.

Meanwhile, in his office, Professor Ozpin felt that something horrible will happen very soon that might threaten the balance of the world…

"Very good as usual, Ms. Valkyrie, although I thought I specifically told you not to remove students from the class." she clicked her tongue at the sheepish look on the girl's face.

"Sorry, Prof! Won't happen again!" Nora saluted. "I'll just break their legs!" As soon that left her mouth, Sky fell through the roof, making a second hole.

"AAAAAAAA-omph!" his shout was interrupted when he hit the floor.

He wasn't moving except for the slight twitch here and there.

"Mr. Winchester, please take your teammate to the nurse." Glynda said with a sigh. "We have time for one more match, Miss Nikos, Miss Xiao Long, please step to the ring."

The students looked at the stern teacher with surprise. The duel between two top students was going to be a sight to behold.

"Begin!"

The area quickly turned into an amazing battlefield between two top huntress in training and describing it could take a while, so here's shot version.

The area exploded.

The people were cheering for one side or the other, placing bets on how long Yang would last against the force of nature that happened to be called Pyrrha Nikos.

Jaune Arc, the resident goofball, looked at the awesome display of skills with awe. Despite seeing it every two weeks, each time it struck him how far apart he is from the very top.

That stung.

He also noticed how much Pyrrha was holding back against him.

That stung even more.

On his side was his brother in all but blood the mostly silent, Ren… Jaune guessed that his recent silence was due to the voice change he was going through.

"Say, Ren… don't you feel plain?" Jaune said, drawing the other boy's attention.

The boy looked at his leader quizzically.

"I mean all the girls are insanely powerful here, they all have all those cool semblances or skills…" Jaune sighed. "While we are… you know."

Ren nodded, agreeing with Jaune. While Ren was never the one for flashy moves, the fact that Blake Belladonna stole his role as an awesome ninja was unacceptable. Not to mention her badass clones, that he would never, never forgive.

"Now that I'm thinking about it, isn't all the females really OP here? Look at Professor Goodwitch; she can fix the whole building with just one move of her crop! I mean how insane is that, has Professor Ozpin ever done something awesome like… ever?"

"No, he has not," Ren spoke, furrowing his eyebrows. "In fact, all I've seen from him is him drinking his coffee from the same mug every day."

Meanwhile in his office, Ozpin fell to his knees, clutching his chest, feeling that the faith in his leadership was leaving his students. He looked at his desk to where his salvation stood, his beloved coffee.

With a trembling hand, he slowly reached for the liquid of life.

"Yeah, I'm starting to think that Professor Goodwitch is the real deal here while Ozpin is just a poster boy." Jaune said, crossing his arms.

The mug shattered into a million pieces as the coffee of life was pooling around the prone unmoving body of the Headmaster of Beacon. In right ligh,t it took the shade of red… most of been almond flavor.

"But that's my point exactly! I'm a noob when it comes to fighting since I've only been doing this only a few months, but I doubt that I can do explosions like Yang or have strength like Nora…" Jaune sighed.

"My speed is not nearly like Ruby's and I can't make clones of myself." Ren frowned. "I can see your point here, Jaune; we indeed seem plain in comparison."

Both boys sighed.

"We need to do something, Ren." Jaune suddenly said. "Or else we will fade into background and Monty forbid, become C-hunters like team Cardinal!"

Ren had to admit that Jaune made him worried. For some reason he used his semblance only in Forever Fall during the test and never used it ever again after that. It would've surely help him during food fight where Yang sucker turkey punched him.

"What do you suggest?" Ren asked, gripping the railing.

"We have to get stronger, Ren." Jaune said with unusual seriousness. "That's why we need to go on a training trip!"

Ren raised his eyebrow. "Training trip?" he parroted.

"Yes, you see, I've been thinking about it. Here in Beacon we got everything we need and basically all we have to do is attend classed and kill the occasional group of Grimm… but being in the wilds every day would be a fight for survival, our skills would grow leaps and bounds!"

"We might die." Ren pointed the obvious flaw.

"Do you prefer to exist in the background?" Jaune waved off Ren's really valid concerns.

"You have a point here." The pink eyed boy agreed." Yet such journey would take a lot of preparations."

"Don't worry my friend, not only have I've been thinking about that, but I've also made some preparations." Jaune smirked smugly. "We can set off tomorrow."

"How is it possible that you've already made preparations for two not knowing if I would agree?" Ren couldn't help but ask.

Jaune put his hand on his shoulder. "I heard you sulking about Blake usurping your resident ninja status a few weeks back…"

"… Oh."

"Yeah, also that you never could beat Nora in arms wrestling…"

"Wait? I was saying that when I was taking a shower..."

"Or when you were mumbling about people thinking that you were a cross dresser."

"I don't remember that!"

"You were sleeping then…"

"You watch me sleep?!" Ren felt slightly disturbed by that, but somehow the soothing look that Jaune gave him calmed him down.

"Sometimes… it helps me thinks." Jaune admitted abashed with a slight blush.

"Oh…" Ren rubbed his neck awkwardly.

Again silence befallen on the boys.

"Sooo…. Are you in?" Jaune asked after a tense few minutes.

"I'm–"

"YOU CUT MY HAIR GYAAAAAA!"

"I'M SORRY!"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

"–in." Ren finished flatly at the display of skills completely out of his reach.

"MY MAN!" Jaune gave him a mighty pat on the back, making him stumble.

'Seems like Pyrrha's training is starting to pay off?' Ren felt slightly sore… what? He has delicate skin.

"Winner, Ms. Nikos." Glynda announced as the Champion disarmed Yang by ripping off her gauntlets with her semblance.

"Medic!" Yang wimped, "I need a doctor!"

"Ms. Xiao… slightly burnt hair is not a reason to call a medic." she berated her sternly.

"At least call a barber!" she cried, but was promptly ignored by everyone… "I need my hair…"

Yang knew that Professor Goodwitch was a prey too strong to defeat, but she knew of one person that would sate her lust for Blonde hair….

"You know what Ren; I think that we should take off first thing in the morning." Jaune suddenly said, suppressing a shiver that came out of nowhere. Ren looked at him. "Trust me; I've got a feeling that if we don't do it now, we will never be able to…"

"Very well, fearless leader…"

Next day early morning

Both males sneaked out of their room, leaving a note that they went to the city do some stuff. Before the girls manage to discover that they've been tricked they would be long gone…

"I have one question… where the hell did you get horses?" Ren asked, bewilder at seeing two fully saddled mounts. "They're extremely expensive…"

"Funny story, you see, once I went shopping to the Vale I stumbled across a horse race I placed a bet on some horse since I had a few lien to spend… you see it was the horse that never won any race before and the organization as a joke, placed stakes numbering some stupidly large number to drag people like me in. The horse by some miracle won and I happened to be the only one who placed a bet on it, so in short I won a shitload of money… so much that I could've bankrupted whole racing gig, so the owner made a deal with me, two of his best horses plus some cash instead, and since I have been planning my training trip, it was a gift from heavens."

Ren stared at him in silence.

"Only you Jaune, only you." he finally said, climbing on the horse back, noticing that Jaune handled him a thing that happened to look like a cowboy hat. "… Why?"

"Put it on, I'm telling yam" Jaune said, producing a second one and putting it on his head.

Ren hesitantly took the hat from his leader and put it on his head, only to feel… absolutely nothing.

"What was the point–" Ren started to speak but suddenly the voice was stuck in his throat.

The rising sun illuminated Jaune's face giving him an almost angelic look against the retreating darkness of the night. His blond hair gently swayed on the morning breeze with a gentle smile on his face. Ren wondered if his leader always had such a glimmer in his sapphire blue eyes.

"Come, Ren, we have long way before us." Jaune hurried his horse, leaving his teammate behind. After a second or so, Ren followed, knowing that this was the right path.

Thus began the journey of a thousand miles, laced with dangers and traps yet beautiful in its own right. The journey of two kindred souls, united in singular purpose of discovering themselves. Set to discover the true strength and what it means to be a Hunter.

The fact that Jaune packed only one small tent was not a problem; the brothers in all but blood would share it like true bros.

No matter what! They will complete this trip and return changed men.

"IT'S THEM!" Nora yelled with fury.

"JAUNE!" Pyrrha roared.

That is if they manage to lose the woman chasing them. Suffice to say, the girls weren't pleased to find that they were dumped…

How you might have asked? Well when Pyrrha did her usual Jaune check with great displeasure she found that his scroll and by extension him, were way out of the city walls. The empty wardrobe only supported her thesis… but the late sent message from Jaune explaining the reason of their trip tilted the scale.

You can imagine Team RWBY's surprise to find two livid females of team JNPR bolting out of the room, screaming bloody murder.

"YOU WANTED REAL DANGEROUS TRAINNING!? I WILL GIVE YOU REAL DANGEROUS TRAINING!" Pyrrha lunged forward, pushing Jaune off the horse back with ease. She straddled him with her waist and gave him her best death glare.

"Run, Ren!" Jaune cried, seeing his death in his partner/killer's eyes. "Save yourself!"

"You should worry more about yourself, Jauney-boy." Pyrrha said out of breath. Chasing after a person on a horse back was no easy feat, but like the saying goes, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

In the corner of his eyes he could see Ren pinned to a tree with Nora glaring down at him. Their eyes met.

Pink with Blue converting one message… their bond will never break.

"HAMMER TIME!" Nora exclaimed raising her Magnhild high.

But their bones would.
