What if Jaune was partner with Ruby. An slight chance to the story with a bit of humor and surprise for our blond. AU fic!
'This is just great!" Jaune Arc though as he finally manage to free himself from the tree, while he place the spear back into the tree so Pyrrha can find it. He can't stay in one spot or a Grimm may attack him. He did live in a village where Grimm always attack. Him to be more specific and he didn't knew why.
Maybe it the hair.
Anyway he started to move in a random direction in hope to find a partner to have his back if Grimm attack. He will amit he the weakest here and need help. He was barely skill thanks to his father swordsmanship and his mothers shieldsmanship lessons he learn from them, as well in a few others things. Like sewing for one.
But he didn't get far as a pack of Beowolfs surround him. He scream in surprise and started running away to ether get away or find help.
"I'm not tasty!" He scream on top of his lungs as he saw of them lick their maw as he look behind to see how close they were. Had he not look back at the moment he would have saw a certain Heiress, before she duck for cover from being crash into. Instead he ran past her as did the pack as they were fix on making Jaune their meal, ignoring the Heiress.
"Well. That was strange." Weiss said as she dust herself off and walk on to search for a partner. She figure the knight could take of himself.
(Back with Jaune)
"Why do the Grimm always try to eat me!? It just getting ridiculous now!" Jaune ranted as he dodge a swipe from a Beowolf that got a little too close.
"Maybe it the hair." A voice suddenly said.
"Yeah. Maybe that it! My dad is blond and kill many Grimm, so they must confuse me for him! Thanks Ruby! Wait Ruby!? Jaune said as he realize who was the voice was.
"Hey Jaune. Need help?" Ruby ask as she ready her weapon.
" That would be nice." Jaune reply as he pull out his sword and ready his shield.
He slash at the first Beowolf killing it and blocking a attack from his right with the shield and Ruby shot it dead and process to slash like a mini-hurrcan killing six of them before stopping and Jaune came up from behind her throwing his shield ,that kill two Beowolfs and stabbing the last one in the head as it try to charge him.
"Thanks Rubes." Jaune said as he panted a little.
"No problem. Are you okay? Your not hurt or anything are you?" Ruby ask as he put his weapon away.
"Yeah. Just a little winded from running is all." Jaune reply as he look at the sliver eyes girl.
"I'm glade to hear that." Ruby said relief as her first friend is safe and healthy. After a moment of awkward silent Jaune spoke up.
"I guess we're partners now huh?"
"It seem that way." Ruby said as she smile happily, glade to pair with someone nice like Jaune is and not a crabby attuide Heiress.
Some where else Weiss sneeze after partnering up with Pyrrha.
"Bless you." Pyrrha said.
"Thank you."
(Back to our duo)
"So which way do you think we should go?" Jaune ask as he look around trying to decide which way they were suppose to go.
"I say that way." Ruby pointed in a direction
"Why?" Jaune ask.
"I saw a cave that way. If nothing else, it should give us a hint on where we should go." Ruby said with a shrug.
"Okay then. Allons-y." Jaune said as he walk in the direction Ruby pointed.
"What?" Ruby ask confuse as she jog to caught up to him.
"It French for let go." Jaune answer as he smile at Ruby smile face.
"It cool that you know a different language." Ruby said with a shine in her eyes. Jaune couldn't help find it cute.
"I only know a little bit. I know enough to get directions. I also know a few others, but like french, I know little." Jaune said as he rub the back of his head with a blush on his face at the phrase.
"It still cool though." Ruby said as she skip a little.
Jaune smile at her response he going to enjoy working with her.
(30 minutes later.)
'Hmm. Now that I partner up with Ruby, what should I do. I know my fighting skill is barely average and all. But I want her to know she can reline on me for anything. Whether it in fighting or being a emotional problem. But how?" Jaune wonder. He was so focused in his thoughts that he didn't notice Ruby moving a branch that smack him in the face.
"Oww. Why do nature hate me?" Jaune said as he hold his face in pain.
"I'm so sorry Jaune! Are you okay?!" Ruby ask in panic, worry she just anger her partner.
"It okay Rubes. It wouldn't be the first time I get hit in the face. Beside, it just a scratch." Jaune said to calm his partner nerves.
"That a relief. But why didn't you use your aura to block that?" Ruby ask as she title her head to the side like a puppy. Which Jaune found cute, before realizing she ask a question.
"Active my what?" Jaune ask.
"Your aura. Don't you know what aura is Jaune?" Ruby ask in disbelief.
"Nope. Father never told me." Jaune reply with a sheepish shrug.
"Aura is the manifestation of our soul. It bears our burdens and shields our hearts. It basically like your shield and weapon." Ruby example.
"Wow! That sound awesome, how do one unlock this aura?!" Jaune ask with excitement.
" I can unlock your aura. Come here and close your eyes for amoment." Ruby said as she went over the chant to unlock aura to make sure she remember it right.
"Okay." Jaune said as he pick himself up from the ground and did as he told.
Ruby put a hand on Jaune chest and took a deep breath before reciting the chant.
"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality, through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee."
Then a bright light emerge from Jaune as his aura was unlock.
"Wow. So this is how aura feel huh. It feel amazing. Thank you Ruby." June said as he open his eyes to find his partner is missing.
"Ruby. Ruby! RUUUBBBBYYYY!?" Jaune call out in panic.
"I'm here." A voice came. It was Ruby!
"Where?!" Jaune ask as he look around for and sign of his partner.
" I don't know. I see everything fine, but I can't feel my body for some reason." Ruby reply.
"I can hear just fine, but I can't find you anywhere." Jaune said as he look down and froze.
" Jaune. Are you okay?" Ruby ask as she finally realize Jaune look.
Beside the knight she was use to seeing, stood a different looking Jaune. His hair was still blond, but now had red at his fangs. His right eyes was blue and left eye sliver. He was wearing her red hood and his light armor that was white with sliver rim was now black with red rim. His hooded was darker with long sleeves with red streak going down his arms and his gloves was the same except with red on it beside white. His jeans was now black with red streaks on both side of his pant. His combat boots change to hers boots, but bigger to fit his feet.
Both just stare at the sudden change to the knight, Jaune brought his head up to ask a question, but stop as he notice Ruby was ghost like in front of him . They both did the only natural thing to do.
Scream on top of their lungs.
Hahaha. So how was is. Surprises some of you didn't I? I decide to create the ultimate bullshit power for our knight. I was about to give him something else but though 'nah. Too many many gamer fic already. I'm already trying to make a gamer fic of my own for a different story. (Sekrei if your wondering.) ' So why not a something no one though of so far. To my knowledge as least. I also deicde to make Jaune somewhat skill. Just enough to do better in fights and last longer. But still weaker than most. So reviw and stuff. Please remember this is a AU fic. So anything could happen. Who should be partner with Nora to join the dou team. It could be anyone.
