"Let me get this straight." Ironwood was feeling a tick mark appear on his head. "You've housed a creature, a lamia, and you've managed to hide it from society for years. Now you want to enroll it in Beacon." Ozpin was simply sipping his coffee as Glynda tried to subtly scoot away from the twenty foot long creature. The scales were white with a gold underbelly, and it ended in a V shape at the waist, leading up to a lean male body with short blonde hair and deep sea blue eyes that shone with confusion to the current predicament.
This..."lamia" was a snake-slash-human that was housed by the Arc family for a long time, signaling why the Mother, Jeanne Arc, was whistling innocently, her wolf ears twitching occasionally. Jeanne and her husband, Max, housed this creature ever since it hatched from it's egg and even named it! Jaune Arc ladies and gents!
Said creature had it's slanted reptilian eyes roam across the new people, and cock his head to the side as the big General guy was fuming.
He simply shrugged and slithered back to his thirty by thirty square foot room. As he entered, he took in the normal sights:
A huge bed that held him and his tail, a nice and soft red rug, several shelves filled with books, several racks with daggers, swords, spears, and whatnot. To the left is his closet filled with shirts, jackets, more shirts, some sweaters, shirts...and more tops. Being a lamia comes in handy when you only need a top. Thank Oum his manhood is protected in a compartment on his front.
There was his giant TV and X-One with all his games, his art, his giant compact bow, his shotgun, his little trinkets and Dust station. Pretty much a lot of junk and normal things...well, for a curious lamia.
As he laid on his bed, pulling the warm blankets made of silk and cotton on him, he heard muffled noises that sounded like an argument going on. Eh. Jaune simply hissed lightly and snuggled into his bed, searching his scales for any traces of something harming his tail. It would be terrible if he got a skin rash. Ugh.
As Jaune slithered back down the stairs, he snickered as the General sported a big bump on his head and Ozpin was still sipping his coffee, Glynda was brandishing her crop.
As Jaune put his black cotton shirt on, he went into the spacious kitchen and prepared himself a mug of his homemade coffee. As he turned around, he yelped and fought the urge to crush Ozpin in surprise as he appeared in front of the Lamia.
"M-Mr. Ozpin, ca-can I help you...?" Ozpin held out his now empty mug, "Some coffee if you would, please." Jaune nodded dumbly and shifted his long lower body to make room for the Headmaster, getting a bit unnerved by the stares from the others. As he whipped up some coffee, he swished his tail nervously. He sighed in relief as a ding from the coffee maker signaled it was done.
Pouring some coffee into the Headmaster's cup, he sipped his own nervously. Ozpin took a sip...then chugged the whole thing down. Everyone gaped while Jaune himself just fidgeted a little.
"My, this was splendid. I believe you will be coming with me to Beacon." Jaune just nodded dumbly, his brain still processing what was happening.
"U-uh, OK...I guess." Ironwood's eye twitched and he had a dumbstruck look. "S-seriously Ozpin...?" Ozpin simply gave a small smile and took the rest of the coffee. "Oh yes. I'm sure."
The Next Day~
Jaune placed on his armor and weapons: a thick mace head on the end of his tail, two orange gloves with spikes on the knuckles and layered with Aura Fusers, allowing him to project his Aura in blasts (courtesy of Ironwood and the Science team), steel plates with the Arc crest on his chest and back with round, black shoulder pads with a hood attached to it, plates in spaces running down the first foot of his tail and back, leather sheath on his back with a custom made katana/semi-automatic hunting rifle (courtesy of his adoptive parents) a foldable kite shield, several pouches and pockets for ammo and salves, a necklace made of pure Fire Dust in the shape of a coiling Dragon with the eyes made of ebony.
For clothes, he had a long black shirt with a pair of wings imprinted on the back with a rib cage imprinted on the front. He had some metal stranded cords wrapped around to keep the plates together on his waist, acting somewhat like pants. Luckily, with his scales, the metals didn't bother him to much.
Before he went to get his things, earlier, Ozpin said that the female heir to the Arc family would be accompanying him to Beacon, being an automatic partner for him. He accepted it, but said girl, Juniper, was nervous to all hell.
She is horrid at sword play and only had her Aura unlocked recently. Now she was going to Beacon! Thankfully, Jaune and Glynda reassured her that they would help, both painfully aware of her horrid swordplay. How she is going to be trusted with Crocea Mors-, that's a question for another time though. Not to mention she is seriously afraid of having Wolf ears on top of her head, and how people will treat her.
The Lamia and the human/Faunus walked and slithered onto the private Bullhead, Juniper's motion sickness kicking in, and Jaune rubbing her back as she took some pills to help, rubbing her back because it will take a bit for them to kick in.
Wait! Description: Juniper is 5'8, thin build, dyed purple hair down to her middle back, rather formidable bust, natural born speed and agility, golden slitted eyes, and lightly golden colored ears.
Jaune simply chuckled on the flight to Beacon, as Jaune's size would take up to much room on the Dust plane.
The flight to Beacon was rather awesome. And amusing. The flight took longer than expected and Juniper accidentally took the short term pills, thus making her start to puke into the nearby trashcan, Jaune laughing and rubbing her back.
Awesome because she finally took the right pill for the flight and got the chance to look at the awesome view. They got to see beautiful sea, lush land, a working and awesome city, and got to see Beacon from a personal view.
They arrived after the Dust plane began to unload students, and they got out as the last of the students got off the ship.
Jaune groaned, several students and big clumps of press were waiting there. He forgot that the public was told of his existence. As they landed, he pulled his hood up and waited impatiently for the doors to open.
When they did open, he was bombarded with flashing and blinking lights, and screams and yells of questions and gasps of surprise.
"Over here!""Is it true that you-""Have you ever eaten anyone?!""How old are you?-"
Jaune didn't bother to listen after these, the eating question annoying him. He rose up to eight feet up, his long tail curving and coiling as he slithered away. Juniper was blushing madly and fidgeting as she walked with her brother.
All it took was a heated glare from him to shut them up, but they continued snapping photos and rolling cameras. He projected his Aura in a controlled blast, creating an EMP and short circuiting their equipment. Jaune smirked and Juniper gave a nervous smile, still nervous.
As the crowd groaned and dispersed, Jaune gave a sigh of relief and lowered himself a bit, now just a foot bigger than Juniper. Jaune's tail was thicker than his body and got thinner as it got longer, so he simply placed Juniper on the base of his tail and he kept slithering. As he continued, an explosion caught his attention.
A curious and slightly amused look graced his face as a girl in all white berated a smaller girl in all red as they were covered in soot and in a crater. He decided to see what was happening and slithered forward, arriving as the girl in white huffed and left after a Faunus in black told her off with something. Red (until he knows her name) just slumped down and lied down on the ground.
As his shadow covered her, she looked up and gasped as she took in his long snake portion.
"U-u-uhhh...W-wha...?" Jaune chuckled and lowered his hood, showing his slightly reptilian/nearly full human face with an amused smirk.
"Sup, need a hand?" Red looked at the girl on his back and she gave her a slow and happy nod. Red looked up with shining silver eyes and took his hand, 'eep'ing a bit as she was lifted a foot into the air before being placed on her feet.
"Name's Jaune Arc. This is my sister, Juniper Arc." Juniper climbed off of Jaune waved a bit. Red fiddled with her cloak as she watched his gold and white tail, then was brought out of it by Jaune snapping his fingers in her face. "My eyes are up here."
She blushed. "M-my name's Ruby. Ruby Rose." Jaune chuckled warmly and ruffled her hair a bit, making her pout adorably. "No offense, but aren't you kind of young to be here?" Ruby took no offense to the age part, but she was effed by the silent notion to her height. "Hey! I'm growing! I drink milk!" Jaune whistled with confusion. Juniper was processing what she said.
"Um, OK...", Jaune began to slither off with Juniper/ Ruby 'eep'ed again, then began to follow the two. "Um, I have this thing." She pulled out her scythe.
Jaune whistled. "Damn, a scythe and a high impact sniper rifle? Impressive." Ruby began to glow and went into a little puppy cute smile. "What do you have?" Jaune pulled out his katana. It was longer than his arm and the handle could fit three hands on it, the blade was pitch black. "This is Reaper, my katana-slash-.303 hunting rifle." To show, he shifted it into a black hunting rifle with a folded scope on the top. "I also have my kite shield, Guardian, but I'll mainly use it for ranged attacks."
Ruby was ogling the weapons with hearts in her pupils. Then she went to Juniper and begged her with super amazing puppy eyes. "Uh, I have m-my family's heirloom, Crochea Mors...and u-uh, a collapsible shield." Ruby began to ogle it, looking for mecha-shifting parts. "What does it do?"
Juniper gave a sheepish smile, "It, uh, stabs, slices and cuts...and my shield becomes the sheath."
Ruby looked at the blade with fondness, "Well I like it. Not many people have appreciation for the classics.-Actually. Where are we going?" Jaune and Juniper stopped and looked around.
"Um, wait. I smell a lot of people over there." Juniper pointed in a direction away from them. Jaune smiled, then frowned, then smiled again. As they reached the door, he pushed Juniper and Ruby in. "Sorry, guys, be right back!" He wasn't going to tell them he spotted more press.
Jaune entered the room through a door into the locker rooms, slithering with a slightly annoyed Juniper.
"Sorry Ju-Ju, but the press were in there and it would've made a scene!" Juniper huffed and walked away, but gave a quick hug to Jaune before continuing down.
Jaune was about to continue down when he spotted a familiar white colored girl. He smirked as he decided to rain on her parade...and end the slightly not sane poses and looks she was making.
As he slithered there, he caught the attention of a Amazoness looking red-head. She was wide eyed and ogling him with curiosity and shock. It was a few moments before White realized Red-head wasn't paying attention to whatever she was saying.
"Greetings ladies, may I ask your names?" White turned around to berate whoever interrupted her, but stopped cold at the sight of Jaune.
"U-uhh..." Jaune chuckled and snapped his fingers (again) to get them out of their awed and shocked stares. "Eye's up here."
White stuttered then cleared her throat. "Greetings, I take it you are the Lamia that was rumored to be coming here. My name is Weiss Schnee and it is wonderful to meet a very fascinating creature." She curtsied, then snapped her eyes open, "I-I mean, I didn't mean to call you t-that!" Jaune just chuckled. "It's quite alright Miss Schnee. It's a pleasure to meet you as well. I'm Jaune Arc." Jaune bowed.
Jaune looked up and took in the looks of the Amazon. She was tall, flame red hair, bronze armor that showed quite a bit, if on purpose, he doesn't know.
"Hello miss, as you just heard, I am Jaune Arc. May I ask your name?" Weiss fought down the urge to reprimand the Lamia for not knowing who Pyrrha Nikos was, but she realized there was many reasons why a Lamia wouldn't know her.
"I-I'm Pyrrha. Pyrrha Nikos. It is nice to meet you Jaune." She gave a low bow. Jaune then chuckled. "If I may, what were you two talking about?" Weiss smiled brightly. "We were just discussing teams. As Pyrrha reminded me, the teams will be compromised of four people. In some cases, five." Jaune nodded. "Well, the Headmaster already told me that I would be automatically placed with my sister, but I think I get another partner as well. I wasn't informed if I do."
"Would you care to join us?" Weiss was glowing and Pyrrha was curious as well. "That would be nice, but I saw some launch pads outside when I was checking out the school. I believe we will be launched to some place in the forest if my guess is correct, which means it might be a find a partner type of thing."
Weiss visibly deflated, Pyrrha's smile was a bit flatter. "O-oh..." Jaune just chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find good partners if we don't find each other." Weiss and Pyrrha were a bit more happy at that.
"And with that, I will go place my things in my locker." Jaune slithered off and placed his armor and weapons in his locker, 636.
As Jaune walke-ahem, slithered out, he immediately felt all eyes on him.
He simply shrugged off the shocked and curious stares and slithered over to a nice spot next to a pillar. As he placed his pillow and extremely long sleeping bag, he saw his sister walk towards him.
Wait! Is Juniper CRYING!? Oh HELL NAW! "June! What happened!?" Juniper had some slightly puffy eyes and there was some bruises on her arm in the shape of a hand.. Ohhh no. He was definitively going to kill someone now.
"T-this guy *sniff* started pu-pulling on my *sniff* e-ears and called m-me a-a freak-*sob!*" Jaune began to comfort the emotional Wolf Faunus, glaring daggers as he found the culprits. A big guy with a mace and orange hair.
Jaune gave Juniper a warm smile, "You stay here, 'kay?" Juniper nodded.
Jaune smiled again then began to slither through the crowd of people getting ready for sleep, an aura of pure murder emanating off of him. Jaune's never been to a big town or city, but he knows damn well about Fauna racism. And boy was he pissed.
As he approached the guy, he had a shadow covering his face. The people around him were cowering in fear, sans the now annoyed brute, from the murderous intent Jaune had.
"I hear you decided to hurt a certain Faunus." Jaune's voice was deadly calm and his tail was lightly vibrating with the urge to crush this puny human. Said puny human simply scoffed and looked at Jaune with disgust. "Yeah, I grabbed the freak. I see your one of them as well." Jaune slowly leaned back. Cardin was thinking it was in fear, but boy was he wrong. Jaune was fighting the urge to unhinge his lower jaw and swallow this bastard whole like his snake cousins.
"Heh, you know her huh? Guess you freaks need to stick together." Cardin's sneer turned lustful. "By the time I'm done with her, that little whore will be all~ mine." Jaune snapped. With a low hiss, he grabbed the brute by the throat. "So, your Cardin eh. Heard the little whores in your group talk about you." Jaune lifted the boy up into the air a few feet, Cardin now grabbing at the Lamia's hand.
Jaune's eyes were now cold and hard. "You know, I am part snake. Maybe I should eat you...neh. You'd taste like the shit your parents found you in." Jaune reared his tail back and was planning on crushing the boy's chest, but purple chains stopped him before he could strike, forcing him to drop Cardin.
Glynda came rushing in, obviously pissed. "May I ask what's going on here?!" Jaune simply smirked, "Teaching this filth what happens when he crosses me." Glynda felt a deep primal fear as Jaune let out some more murderous intent. Cardin was busy gasping for breath and getting color back in his face to notice that Jaune was seriously contemplating crushing him.
"Mr. Arc, I take it you are very upset now, but please, refrain from performing any rash actions." Jaune simply scoffed. "Might be a bit hard when this filth is still alive."
Glynda started to reprimand a not sorry Jaune, Cardin now getting punishment for harming a student and making sexual threats. While Jaune was reprimanded for making death threats and was giving a not so bad reprimand as he was protecting his sister.
Jaune scoffed in disgust once more at Cardin and slithered away. Everyone dead silent around him. A certain bow wearing girl was staring at the Lamia with shock and awe, as well as suspicion.
Jaune simply huffed and kept on slithering to his sleeping bag, ignoring every look he got, whether it be disgust, awe, shock, or just confusion. When he reached Juniper, he used his Aura to heal her bruises, glaring death at Cardin. As he climbed in his sleeping bag, he gave one last death glare at Cardin and gave his sister a loving hug as her tears from earlier dried up.
A certain heiress, Amazon, bomber and sloth, sisters, and cat Faunus were watching the Lamia as it quickly went too sleep, disregarding everyone else as they soon followed suit.
The next morning, Jaune got up and washed up in a secluded spot, his body to big to fit in the bathroom, and then went and prepared himself. As he finished getting his stuff on, he noticed a certain Amazon looking at him.
"What is it?" Jaune's voice wasn't stern or angry, but just annoyed from last night. "O-oh! U-uh, I just wanted to say that...what you did last night was quite, um, admirable and brave. Not many people would stand up for a Faunus." Jaune chuckled, "In case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly a normal person." He waved his tail a bit for emphasis. Pyrrha just giggled a bit.
"Suppose that's true then. I think it's brave that someone would stand up for a Faunus." Jaune just smiled in agreement. "Hey, Jaune. *Hmm?* Is it weird that I and the others accepted you so easily?" Jaune just shrugged, not exactly caring, but still curious about it.
Jaune finished placing the correct ammo pouches and bullets on each pocket and slot. He placed Reaper in his sheath, then began to slither out.
He reached the launch pads and groaned as the not-so-well hidden press members were snapping photos of him. Groaning, his hand twitched to his sword. Tuning out Ozpin, he pretty much knowing how the partners are going to be made already.
Wait, did Ruby just shatter? How does that work? Eh. He tuned out Ozpin and figured out how to make a landing strategy and not break his tail. His Aura would protect him, but from this height, he would break something if it doesn't work. Eh. He'll wing it. Like usual.
And with that, he was launched.
How's this? Do you like Lamia Jaune!?
