"Speach"
'thoughts'
"voices in a persons head"
Professor Ozpin sat at his desk late at night with his assistant Glynda Goodwitch who was pacing angrily as he read through the files on a new ''student" at beacon. This rather uncomfortable silence lasted no longer as decided to say what was on her mind. "Ozpin I've known you for many years and I've never doubted your judgement but this seems highly irregular." Ozpin lowered the papers down to the desk and pushed them a little of to the side as he drank from his mug. "I honestly don't see what the problem is I've told you these files have been checked multiple times by all of my sources and are one hundred percent right." Ozpin paused as he took another drink. "I know for a fact he will be a fine addition to the school."
huffed and angrily snatched up the papers as she speedily read through them. "Why does he even need to be at beacon with credentials like these, he could easily be an S-class hunter." Glynda looked up to see that Ozpin had moved from his chair to staring out the window at the night sky. "Not to mention his terms for enrollment why he would ask you to search for these people? Who is this Son Wukong character and why is he so important? Not to mention the person he want you to find first but he only gives you her first name and general physical description. It could take months to find these people."
Ozpin turned to her as she finished her moment and resisted the urge to chuckle this was so unlike her she seemed so wound up over this maybe he was working her to hard or maybe this person that they were discussing just had that effect on people. Either way he answered her. "You said it yourself he's easily an S-class hunter but you didn't see how he was when i found him. He was running himself ragged and losing hope fast while it would have taken him years he eventually would have lead himself down a self destructive path. I see no reason to let such a promising youth pass on so soon as I truly believe he has yet to reach his full potential."
Seeing her slump slightly Ozpin decided this conversation could be continued later. "Here" he said as he fished a pair of keys out of his pocket and tossed them to Goodwitch. "You seem tired and while I would normally ask you to get some sleep you seem to need to clear your head so why no take my vehicle down to Vale it may help clear your head and you just might find something interesting." Smiling at the gesture made her way to the door as Ozpin's eyes followed her when she was gone he turned his head to the file on the desk. 'You really are an interesting person, Jaune Arc.'
A FEW DAYS LATER
Jaune slumped against the wall and slid down to sit against it as the airship prepped to take off to Beacon his new home for the next four years. He groaned as he swallowed the bile building up in his throat back down as he eyes became heavy with the need to rest. The airship hadn't even moved and he was getting air sick it wasn't normally a problem but it became a big one when he was exhausted. He knew exactly why he was so tired, he hadn't slept in over a week and a half, not since he had accepted Ozpin's deal to come to Beacon. He had done so on his own terms and it made him feel much more hopefull about finding his friends. Jaune was many thing but stupid was not one of them naïve was one that was a bit up in the air though.
Jaune had made the smart move to accept Ozpin's deal for one reason and one reason only, influence. Just from the way he walked you could tell he was a learned and well connected man. More so than even he was. Jaune sighed to himself a little bitterly as he still felt he had still played into Ozpin's hands but was content to stay there for now. As long as he got what he wanted he'd keep his end of the deal. Be part of Beacon and become a hunter, again. He technically already was an official hunter and an S-class one at that, even if he hadn't told him he was sure Ozpin had done his research and knew almost everything. Keyword being almost he didn't know about his semblance, Jaune was sure of that and wanted it to stay that way for a little longer. He pushed those thoughts aside as he focus on his priority, sleep.
He reached around and removed his two 'Special' swords from their compartment in his back armor piece and then removed the sword and shield-sheathe, his family heirlooom from his back as well as he relaxed without their ever present weight on his back as he decided to catch some shut eye since he was one of the first ones on. Instead of a dream however Jaune was having a nightmare.
NEARBY SEVERAL MINUTES LATER
"Ooohh i'm so glad my baby sisters going to beacon with me!" shouted Yang as she squeezed the life out of one Ruby rose. "Please stop." Ruby weakly groaned out. Separating herself from the blond brawler wasn't easy but she managed. Before she fully regained her footing however the airship lurched violently from turbulence and sent her and Yang off kilter and tripping over themselves towards the wall one Jaune arc was sleeping against. Before they slammed into it however the sleeping knight shot up into a standing position and caught them both.
"You know when i came here this morning i didn't think women would start throwing them selves at me." Jaune said as he righted the girls positions. Now that they were standing on their own two feet he offered his hand out. "How about we get to know each other first Jaune arc short sweet rolls off the tongue nice to meet you." The blond brawler offered her hand and gave him a firm handshake that told him one thing, she was powerful while Ruby's was softer Jaune could tell she had just as much strength if not more. "Hm interesting. I can tell you two are strong and you'll only get stronger."
"Well okay then I'm Yang and this is my sister Ruby." The brawler said pulling her sister close. "Hi" was Ruby's short sweet and in Jaune's opinion cute reply. 'Why do i get the feeling i know them from somewhere?' Jaune thought. "Question." Jaune turned back to Yang. "What did you mean by 'only get stronger'?" Jaune adopted a sheepish expression as he looked down at the ground slightly cursing at his out loud thinking. "Eheh well you see, lets just say it's part of my semblance i would tell you more but i don't want to bore you with the details." Jaune looked up from the floor to see he had that he was being stared at by the two sisters.
"Or maybe your not bored, okay here goes,...um how out a demonstration." Jaune raised his arms and held his hands out palms up and about a foot away. Suddenly a fireball that looked like and was about the size of a baseball appeared in his right hand and was soon joined by two more as the three were balanced on top of one another. Jaune threw all three into the air and began juggling them with practiced ease adding a fire ball every once in a while till he was at ten fireballs and went further still by suddenly putting him right arm down and began juggling them with only one hand. Jaune turned his attention away from the fireballs to see he had drawn a bit of a crowd who were staring out wide eyed and jaws hanging open.
Jaune turned his attention then to Ruby and Yang to see them faring no better. 'Time to showoff a little.' Thought Jaune as he went back to juggling with two hands. As he did so he began to do all sorts of tricks like juggling them behind his back, throwing the fireballs in wide ludicrous arcs, and even juggling with his foot like they were hackie sacks. 'Time for the finale.' Jaune thought excitedly. He pursed his lips and blew what appeared to be a fine mist of sparkling crystals into the air above him and as the fireballs passed through it everyone noticed them slowly changing color. By the time the mist was gone Jaune was now juggling electric blue and white fireballs and not the orange and yellow ones he started with.
Jaune launched them at the high ceiling of the airship and when they hit it they exploded into confetti. Jaune clapped his hands twice and the confetti became a rainbow of vibrant fireworks as everyone stared in awe as jaune shouted TA DA. There was a roar of applause as Jaune took a low polite bow. It took awhile for the crowd to clear out but soon it was just Ruby Jaune and Yang left once again. "Wow" Was Yang's intelligent reply. "Soooo that was you semblance? It was really impressive but don't you think that was more of a party trick? Um no offense" Asked Ruby. Jaune chuckled at them. "Actually it was more of a clue." They look at him quizzically.
"How about a hint, what i just did was many things but its what it wasn't that reveals what it truly was." Jaune replied cryptically. Jaune watched as their faces scrunched and admitted to himself that the two were not blood sisters but obviously related if the cute thinking face was a family trait. "First you made fireballs and stacked them on top of each other -Ruby said as they pieced it together "You even changed the color of them and turned them into confetti so it's not controlling fire."-Yang said as she added her two cents. " nothing got burned and it didn't get hot in here." Ruby added another piece to the puzzle. "Not to mention we could breathe just fine despite the fact that on a sealed airship it should have had all the air burned away and theres no smoke."
Guess who said that. "And finally the fireworks when they exploded they should have released even more heat then the flames but everyone was fine." Ruby added eyes widening, pupils shrinking in realization. "So all in all it... wasn't... possible" Yang seemed to reach the same conclusion. "You create illusions!" The two yelled out at the same time. Jaune began to laugh out loud when they came to the wrong conclusion, they were so close yet so far Away. "Close but not quite." Jaune said after regaining his composure. "A little story is necessary. Once when i was little i was having a snowball fight with a Faunus friend of mine by the name of Son wukong." Jaune paused and for a split second saw girl with a black bow look up before going back to reading her book. "After awhile he got the upper hand and I was about to lose." Jaune continued.
Jaune then muttered something that Yang and Ruby could have swore sounded like 'using your tail is cheating' "Anyway in that instant I imagined a giant snowball landing on him making me the victor and having unlocked by aura at a young age I ended up using my semblance and a giant snow pile fell on him out of nowhere Even though we were in an open field." Jaune continued as he studied them while they listened and then he dropped the bomb. "My semblance isn't creation illusions, its altering reality!" Yang and Ruby seemed stunned, then skeptical. "Prove it" said Yang. "Okay turn around for five seconds would you." Jaune challenged.
While Yang did as instructed Jaune quickly whispered into Ruby's ear and got a nod. When Yang turned around to see a tall grown women with black-rec hair, silver-grey eyes, and a figure that made her feel inadequate who pulled her head into chest and snuggled her like a teddy bear. "so this is what it fells like to be the big sister i really like it" The woman said in a smooth silky voice. Yang pulled herself free and stared as she recognized her. "Ruby!" She almost yelled. "Of course who else would I be?" Asked the aged up Ruby as she grabbed her sisters hands and guided them all over her body, from her beautiful face to her smooth toned thighs that men and women alike melt at the feel. "Is this real enough for you?" She whispered in her sisters ear.
Ruby stepped back as Jaine snapped his fingers turning her back to her usual self as he whipped out a camera and took a picture of Yang's stupified fish out of water face. Jaune quickly handed the picture to Ruby who hid it in a secret compartmen in her cloak. Just in time too as Yang finally came out of it. She shot them a look that screamed she'd get them back for that. Ruby shot her a look that said dream on. "Looks like we've arrived." Jaune noted as the airship docked at beacon. As the two sisters turned to see the doors open Jaune turned back to his stuff and picked up his 'special' sheathing them in an X formation into his back armor plate, then he unsheathes his family heirloom and pressed the button turning the sheathe into a shield before sheathing the sword and placed the shield over the back plate of his armor the tiny yet powerful magnet locking the shield in place on his back.
By the time Yang and Ruby turned back around Jaune was gone already making his way to out of the airship leaving the two sisters staring at the space he had occupied to them only a second ago. "Well that was a thing." Yang said simply. "Ya he seems nice." Ruby said adding in her mind 'and a little cute.' As they made their way towards the exit.
WITH JAUNE
Jaune was phasing through the crowd looking for a certain bow wearing black haired girl however Jaune couldn't shake the weird vibe he was getting from the two girls he'd met on the dust plane something about them seemed off, he like them he really did but he couldn't shake the feeling he'd met them somewhere before. 'Dammit what is this feeling of remembrance?' Jaune fought took keep focused as he searched for that girl. He had to find her no matter what, he wasn't a stalker by any means but he'd noticed her on the airship reading while he was talking to Ruby and Yang. He noticed three things about her with his split second observation. First her bow twitch when he'd mentioned Son being a Faunus with meant she had heard him. Second that meant she could only be a Faunus herself. The third thing was the most troubling it was her aura, it was subtly activated not enough to glow but enough to instinctively do whatever it was doing. Jaune knew from experience using that much aura outside of battle was used to do one thing only, stopping pain. That raised the question why was she in pain and why it hadn't healed.
That meant she was most definitely seriously injured and it worried Jaune. "You know you cant do this all the time right?" Jaune rolled his eyes as a voice in his head made itself know. 'What is it now Julius?' Jaune thought in his head as he continued his search, ever since a few months ago they'd been stuck sharing a body and unfortunately they hadn't found a way to permanently reseperate. "I just saying man you can't play knight in shining armor to every damsell in distress." 'I know already jeez' Jaune snapped at him before coming out of his thoughts when he saw Ruby being yelled at by a girl in white waving around a dust container clearly leaking. 'Definately wouldn't want to be her knight in shining armor.' Thought Jaune as he watched the scene unfold the girl continuing to yell and flick dust into poor Ruby's face. "More like her bitch in shining armor".
Julius noted with sarcasm causing Jaune to chuckle as he watched poor Ruby sneeze into the cloud of dust causing an explosion of fire and Jaune noted to had a little lightning and ice in it as well. 'Well speak of the Grimm.' Jaune noted as the girl he was looking for had arrived. Jaune only got snippets of the conversation but apparently the girl in white was the schnee dust company heiress. "Ya that's not gonna win her any points in your book is it?" Julius noted. Jaune nodded to himself not able to refute that statement. If you had asked him he'd say the Schnee weren't all bad but they had the amazing ability to shot themselves in the foot without even realizing.
'Well time to start the plan' Jaune noted as he was her walking away from Ruby and towards him, using him semblance Jaune created a note in his hand but as he past her he had a vision. Memories not his own flashed before his eyes thats when he realized they were hers. One memory stood out from the rest however, from what Jaune saw it was her talking to a little blond haired blue eyed kid in an alleyway as a Faunus protest turned violent raged in the back ground. 'Impossible is me!?' The memory faded before Jaune could make sense of it. Coming out of it he noticed she had almost completely past him so he whirled around into her path and got in front of her while altering the note slightly. "Can i help you?" She asked. Jaune smirked and did his best dark and evil intent face. "I believe you dropped this and that if you know what's good for you you'll read it and then dispose of this." Jaune handed her the note and quickly made it over to Ruby. He felt her eyes on him a few seconds later and turned slightly to give her his best nice guy impression. Before walking and joining Ruby.
WITH BLAKE
He knew but that wasn't possible she didn't know how but he knew. She stared back at him while he walked away and he turned and gave her a smile that just had to be fake. Her mind was racing as she read the note again and again as if it was some kind of trick but it wasn't. He knew her darkest secret and she would have no choice but to do as he said. Of she could make him dissappear.
WITH JAUNE SEVERAL MINUTES LATER
"Did you really have to make such an evil sounding note Jaune?" Julius asked as Jaune and Ruby made it to the assembly hall. Just before Ruby went off Jaune pulled her close and whispered into her ear. "Please keep quiet about what i showed you okay." Ruby happily nodded and ran off to join her sister. "You didn't answer my question." Julius deadpanned as he grew irritated at being ignored. 'Think about it she's a Fuanus she's obviously use to discrimination and hatred and has probably been tricked into a false sense of security before, she would logically be allot more suspicion if I didn't seem to have an obvious ulterior motive.' Jaune explained with logic. Julius absently nodded in Jaune's head unable to refute the logic.
Jaune was always the smarter one being able to beat him at chess without losing any unnessassary pieces despite Julius' ability to create as it was often called controlled chaos that could decimate even the greatest chess prodigies. Julius focused back on Jaune senses when he noticed him glaring at the Schnee heiress. Who once again seemed to be bitching at Ruby. "Whats the dagger vision all about?" Julius asked. 'She just called me tall blond and scraggly.' Jaune clarified with a little distaste. ''Wow she may be a Schnee prodigy then. She shot herself in the foot not once but twi- what the hell are you doing'' Julius Asked as Jaune prepped his aura. Jaune shot a miniature undetectable burst of his aura that impacted to just behind the heiress and commanded a huge sudden burst of wind that flipped her skirt up then faster then lightning Jaune took a picture.
'That will make excellent blackmail material.' Jaune thought as the flustered heiress looked around to see what had caused her wardrobe malfunction. "U know she would probably respect you more if she knew you were an S-class hunter and easily stronger than nearly every person in this room put together." Julius noted not thrown off by Jaune revenge tactics in fact he was a little proud. 'You know how incredibly arrogant that sounds.' Jaune replied. "You know its true though she's not even trying to or she outright cant hide her aura levels and considering that aura can only be increased via combat ability and it can be use to accurately measure overall combat potential it's easy to see she's only low B-class at best. While Ruby, Yang, and that Faunus girl were mid B-class at least. Hell that up on stage right now is at best only a borderline S-class and you could still take her easy enough And remember here your an S-class hunter even without your semblance." Julius reasoned showing his idiot savant nature.
Jaune smiled as he listened to Julius while Ozpin came on stage after hearing about their current living arrangements for the night Jaune decided to mess with the Schnee heiress a little more so he walked over to where she Ruby and Yang were and leaned over a bit to be at eye level. "I'm a natural blond by the way." The Schnee heiress groaned and looked away while Jaune made a Herculean effort to contain his laughter. Something Ruby and Yang apparently noticed but didn't comment on. Jaune walked away to explore the school before turning in and so he didnt look crazy staring into space. 'You saw that too right Julius?' Inside his head Julius nodded as he sat down on one of the many furnishings in Jaune's mind as he appeared sitting in the chair opposite of him. "Im so glad restructured this place it was pretty terrifying floating in a black void of information memories and everything else." Jaune chuckled before getting serious. "You saw it didn't you?" Julius grimly nodded. "Ya that girls memory or lack thereof is troubling to say the least."
Juane reclined his chair as he thought about it, she had a five year gap in her memories something thing that while itself was troubling the major factor however was it was trauma induced memory loss. To suppress five years worth of memory meant all kinds of horrible things had been done to her. Jaune didn't know why but he felt guilt well up inside him because of it. 'Why do i feel so guilty why do i feel like i let her down i dont know her do i?' Jaune felt regret worm into his heart as his eyes became downcast. 'I dont know what this feeling is, that i didnt do enough, that i failed that should have saved her, but i know one thing i wont fail again.' Juane leapt to his feet eyes burning with resolve as he turned to leave. "I'll promise you this Julius i will help her and i will fix your body." Julius nodded as Juane faded back into the real world. "Thank you brother."
THE ROOFTOPS THAT NIGHT
Jaune was laying with his hands under his head on the rooftops waiting for Blake to show herself. He had found out her name when she had introduced herself to Ruby. Admit ably he was ease dropping, but he learned something interesting. 'A man with two souls huh' Jaune thought as he closed his eyes. Jaune also felt as if he knew someone by that name along time ago but it was all to fussy. Jaune relaxed as he drifted off to sleep thinking Blake would be there soon. Only to be awakened when he heard to feather light foot steps of a person making their way to him. Either way Jaune feinted sleep as the person drew closer his aura at the ready to defend him in less than an instant. Good thing too as Blake's blade slammed down onto his throat a second later. Jaune's aura absorbing and reflecting to blast back into her weapon throwing her away. "You now its not very nice to try and cut someones head off while they sleep right." Jaune asked in a slightly scolding tone.
If Blake heard him she didn't make any indication of it as she charged him. 'Sigh this is gonna be a problem' Jaune thought. Juane dodged around her initial strikes with ease as he talked. "Look i didn't come here to fight or blackmail you i want to help you." Blake stopped for a second as she caught her breath. "And why should i listen to you?" Blake asked her quiet voice even yet stained. "Because i can, and will make the pain stop." Jaune said with sadness and conviction. Blake however didn't seemed convinced as she renewed her strikes. Jaune was a little sad she hadn't listened but he was determined to help her none the less. But first get her to stop moving. 'I gonna hate myself for this.' Thought Jaune.
ONE MINUTE LATER
Blake was laying on the ground exhausted with three large bruises forming on her back, her chest and her right eye. He had beaten her in three hits and was just staring down at her with false regret. It had to be false. Theres no way it could be sincere. Jaune continued to stare before lowering his hand down towards her then she used the last of her strength to raise her head up and bite him. "A-are really doing this right now?Seriously? " jaune asked almost incredulously. "Uh what ever it wont stop me from doing this." Jaune's aura flared to life and enveloped Blake. Jaune concentrated erasing what seemed to be years worth of abuse Blake's body. When he was done he pulled his hand free and began to walk away.
"Why" Blake asked causing him to turn around as she slowly rose from the ground, she felt different the pain that forever wrecked through her body for over five years gone in an instant. He'd done what no member of the white fang had done he'd healed her. "Why what?" Jaune asked slightly amused. "Why did you lie about the note, the face, and everything else just to get me up here?" asked Blake. "You're a Faunus Blake would you have honestly believed me when I approached you saying I wanted to help you out of the kindness of my own heart. Even if it was true?" Blake seemed to find the ground very interesting for a few seconds before answering. "No it would sound to good to be true years of waking up having to constantly use my aura to just be able to move my hands never truly relaxing lest it overwhelm me then my night in shining armor appears to make it all better." Jaune chuckled.
"Well when you put it that way" Jaune was suddenly in front of her and pulled her into a warm embrace. Blake was stunned if felt right being here it felt familiar, he felt warm and she felt safe. "That's so cute you really do purr." Blake blushed into his chest not realizing she was even making that noise. "Don't worry for now i'll be your knight in shining armor for as long as you need it." Jaune said as he pulled away before handing her a little remote with a single button on it "Just press it if you need me for any reason and all be there in an instant." Jaune said as he began to walk away. "Who are you exactly?" Blake asked bewildered by the person in front of her. Jaune turned slightly allowing her to see the side of his face as he smiled mysteriously. "I'm Jaune Deus Arc, I'm the man with two souls. And now i guess im your guardian angel." With that said and his task done Jaune disappeared from sight Leaving Blake alone to her thoughts. 'He's a strange one' thought Blake. 'But I like him.'
