Hey Guys Night here, I just wanted to say before you start to read the Fic that this is My very first Fanfic and this will mainly be in a Standard PoV but sometimes I will be using Jaunes PoV Also this is going to get dark and extremely OOC for Jaune but that is because I am doing my own take on Jaune and how Cardin and his life has affected him.
P.s - The Name of this Fic is Subject to change so if anyone has any good Ideas then please speak up ill happily give credit where credit is due :)

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or any of its characters.

- Night

(Warning this Fanfic contains Dark themes Rated T for now but could possibly be changed to M)

Jaune PoV

My hearts racing, I can feel adrenaline pumping through my body, every sound is so much louder, every action slower. 'God damn it my shields to low' I felt the Mace hit me on my shoulder and force me to the ground the pain was excruciating, but nowhere near as strong as the sense of failure that overcame me.

Standard PoV

"See Arc you're still just a little weakling, and here I thought you'd gotten stronger" Cardin said as he walked away Laughing with Dove and Russel following him out of the Combat Room. Jaune just lay there, he didn't have the energy to move or at least that is what he was telling himself but really he just wanted to lay there so that he didn't have to go back to his friends, friends who were probably laughing at him right now saying just how much of a failure he is how he should just leave beacon and let someone who was actually a fighter become the leader of Team JNPR.

"Jaune? Jaune are you ok?" A voice asked him. "yeah Pyrrha I'm fine, just give me a minute" Jaune replied in a half hearted tone. "Err Jaune it's not Pyrrha" Jaune shot up and noticed that it was actually Yang, He almost did a double take but realized that it was in fact Yang. "Oh sorry Yang it's just t-that, well you see I-I err" Jaune just began to stutter and ramble some incoherent sentences. Yang started laughing uncontrollably causing Jaune to snap out of his stutter spree and look at her in confusion until he remembered how badly he failed, he quickly got up and walked off ignoring Yang's shouts asking him to stop a second.

Jaune got out of the combat room and began to head to the one place in the school that nobody else went to, the schools roof or at least the south section of the dorms roof. As Jaune made his way there he passed Team JNPR and RWBYs dorm rooms. He continued on walking for a good 5 minutes until he reached a set of stairs that went straight up in a spiral, like the ones in children stories where a sleeping princess is waiting at the top for her prince charming. 'Except this time there wasn't a sleeping princess and there almost certainly wasn't a prince charming heading up there' Jaune thought as he started to head up to the roof.

Jaune stayed up there for about an hour just thinking about his life, the main thought was that of why was he even here. Why was he at beacon? 'Should I just leave beacon? What use am I to my team if I can't even fight?' Jaune clenched his fists and slammed then onto the wall lining the roof of the dorms

"WHY CAN'T I DO ANYTHING RIGHT?!" Jaune shouted at the top of his lungs causing some students who where outside to look up in confusion wondering who was shouting.

"oh look guys, little Jauneys angry" Cardin was stood behind Jaune with Dove and Russel all of whom were laughing at Jaune. Jaune stood there head down staring at the floor.

"Jaune why don't you just run along to your friends and let them protect you like they normally do" Dove said causing more laughter among them

Jaune stood there seething in anger 'Hurt them, Make them pay for what they've done to you' Jaune snapped, He rushed Cardin and with all his strength punched him straight in the stomach causing Cardin to double over. Jaune lifted Cardins face up and threw a haymaker straight into Cardins nose causing a sickening crack as Cardins nose broke causing him to stagger back towards Dove and Russel who were looking at Jaune with fear etched onto their faces. Jaune was just stood there with a manic grin on his face looking at his hand which was covered with Cardins blood. Jaune just started to laugh uncontrollably until something brought him to his senses.

"Jaune?" Pyrrha stood at the doorway leading to the stairs with a look of confusion " Jaune what's going on?"
