by Potato - Main

The Arc family line, generation to generation have many great warriors. Through there history, they are described as a knight on the battlefield. They can be batted around but still, stand up to face the incoming horde of Grimm or people. But Jaune didn't want to take hits and get smacked around like a toy, he really did like surprising people. (AU)

1. Chapter 1

Sup readers, Author dude here or well...you don't know me cause this is my first story on this website. I am not the best writer but I intend to not have crap writing so Positive criticism, No flames, please.

As for Jaune being a Ninja since ya know, the title alone explains it, He's not going to be running up walls and summoning Meteors from the sky, Basically he is not going to pull some OP ass power out of nowhere. Or I intend for him to not do that. I want to try and make this story serious at times but funny and action-packed because I'm writing this just for fun.

As for shipping, I'm not the best when it comes to Romance, actually, I suck at writing Romance because I don't even know how to start a relationship good. But ya know some good old fluff ain't so bad. The pairing will be a secret I guess is all I can tell you.

Expect some OOC character moments because you know it's fanfiction, Expect a dense but awesome protag, Expect awkwardness, Expect things teenagers do, and etc.

Chapter 1 - The Beacon Initiation

Most women want someone who makes them laugh and feel safe, so basically a dork ninja...or so my sister says.

Jaune Arc

A battle was raging, it was the worst pain anyone can feel.

*RATTLE*

He didn't know if he could take much more of this suffering.

*SHAKE*

He felt dizzy, and he just wanted to get up and leave, the loss of something so precious

*SHAKE*

He was going to die, the thoughts that were racing through his mind

*RATTLE*

Oh crap, I don't think I can hold it much longer!.

In the sky on a dust plane to the prestigious Beacon academy was a shaking body of a young man named Jaune Arc. Motion sickness was a common thing they said, Dust planes aren't death traps they said. Oh, how he was gonna give his sisters HELL when he went back to Ansel.

He wasn't gonna embarrass himself like this. First impressions are everything. If everyone sees me puke. That vile nickname might come back to haunt him. It was none other than...Vomit boy.

Shooting the floor a concentrated gaze his mind was running wild. He was thinking about a lot of things actually. But at the forefront his mind was thinking about bravery and heroics, actually, he was just thinking about why there aren't Trash bins in the plane.

Seriously they didn't even put a trash bin here, not a single one to be seen.

"Attention we are now arriving at Beacon Academy please stay seated until the plane is docked."

When the plane landed, many students started pouring out, running to the back of the ship Jaune was on a mission for a trash bin or bathroom. Spotting one and waiting for everyone to clear out Jaune barfed his breakfast out of his stomach.

Maybe I should have skipped eating cereal this morning

As he wiped his mouth, he looked up and saw the academy he found himself entering. The place was surprisingly very clean, ain't no regular school is this clean. Ruffling his hair and preparing himself to be ready he took his first step into Beacon.

*BOOM*

And in an instant, he felt a wave of wind blowing his hair everywhere and making him squint his eyes. Blinking and looking around he saw two girls arguing with each other. One in black and red on the floor and the other in White yelling at the girl on the floor. Eventually, someone broke it up with a bow on her head.

Did I forget to mention that these girls look like supermodels...Am I at a modeling school…

Considering that someone just blew up he pushed those thoughts aside, Girl in white walked off and the girl in black and white disappeared while I was thinking. The girl on the floor just laid there saying something to herself. She looked like a kicked puppy. And then suddenly brother instincts flared.

What did dad say again...Right confidence...don't screw this up Jaune

"Welcome to Beacon," Ruby said to herself, soon after a shadow loomed over her, she looked up seeing a boy with an outstretched hand.

"Hey...I'm Jaune, need help," the voice said, she grabbed the outstretched hand and was pulled up. Now getting a clearer look at the blond boy, he appeared to be wearing a pumpkin Pete short sleeve hoodie (The bunny shamelessly out) and a black backpack with a Kitsune mask strapped to the side of it, A katana that was in a sheath on his left side and what appeared to be a dagger holstered on his backpack. He had blue jeans which had a vertical black pouch that was strapped around a bandaged part of the pants on the right thigh. A pouch on the backside of his hip and fingerless black gloves. Did I forget to mention he towers over me, the milk is FAILING ME!

"Ruby." she said standing up before she giggled a little "Hey aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?"

The boy now known as Jaune paled at this comment.

Walking through the courtyard with the girl now known as Ruby, Jaune was having to explain why he threw up or what he was really aiming for was...

Quickly I must defuse the BOMB!

"Hey all I'm saying is that motion sickness is common, I swear my sisters even told me, It's much more common than people let on!" Please just buy it

Ruby was laughing at him, his first friend...AHHHHH ITS ANSEL ELEMENTARY ALL OVER AGAIN. "Look, I'm sorry! Vomit boy was the first thing that came to my mind...hehe."

And then a big light bulb formed over Jaune's head "Oh yeah well what if I called you crater face?" At this Ruby visibly paled, paler than she now was.

"Hey, that explosion was an accident! I swear the girl was being a Jerk!" she was stammering this out. Jaune laughed a little

"Well, then the name's Jaune Arc! Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue and the women love it!" Yes, that was so suave, smooth Arc, Real smooth.

It would have been smooth until she was looking at me with a questioning face asking me 'Do they?'

The bomb has been Defused!

An awkward silence falls after, it was really awkward cause we were walking in a random direction. Oh yeah, where were we supposed to go again?

"So uh, I got this thing!" Not even a second after she said that a scythe appeared out of nowhere, I'm serious I didn't even see her deploy it. Does this girl have Magic powers?

"Um, uhhh...that's awesome" I stammered out, in complete shock, not gonna lie the weapon did look badass.

"It's also a customizable high - impact sniper rifle!" she said adding more to the scythe's gloriousness.

"That's even more badass, kinda puts me to shame."

"So what've you got?"

At this I looked at my katana and unsheathed the blade, It was sharpened and its craftsmanship was nothing to laugh at, the local blacksmith in Ansel is God tier at smithing durable weapons. "I got this sword. I also have several kunai and shuriken, they can explode with powdered fire dust in them." I sheathed my katana and pulled out my dagger. "And then this dagger."

"OOOH, what does it do!" Ruby exclaimed intrigued by the instruments of violence being shown off.

"Well the dagger kills monsters and it swings around." Jaune deadpanned, what was she about to expect, The dagger somehow turning into a really big battle-ax. That kinda would have been badass but it's a classic.

"Wait but doesn't it turn into like a flaming dagger or spark electricity?"

"No, it doesn't..."

"Well I'm kind of a dork when it comes to designing weapons, I guess I went overboard in designing Crescent rose," she said giggling

What she designed THAT! Holy crap, Mistral is all classic but VALE!

"Hold on you made that?!"

"Yeah of course!" she said with pride but also confused "All students in signal were supposed to forge their weapons didn't you make yours."

"Well the dagger was a hand - me - down from my mom, apparently it's as old as the great war many years ago, and my katana was an idea from my sister but I made it." Must not tell her I didn't make this.

"Well the classics are always ok to me and the Katana, exploding kunai and shuriken are really awesome." She said smiling

"Yeah the classics…"

"So uh um...Why did you help me out?... in the courtyard back there?" she said curiously to know why a guy like him would help her.

"Well uh why not? My mom always said 'Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet." Actually, my sister revised it to 'Strangers are just people who haven't stabbed you in the throat' but she doesn't need to know that.

"Your mom sounds like a nice person," she said

Jaune meanwhile was having flashbacks

"Nicholas ARC! WHAT TYPE OF HORRID ADVICE YOU GAVE MY SON!"

"THE BEST ADVICE, REMEMBER ME BOY CONFIDENCE," My father said before he was hurled out a window

"Yeah, she is," Jaune said grinning a bit also having a cold sweat in the back of his head. The girl I asked out that day threw me out a window by the way, yeah it was that bad.

After sharing information about each other the Duo walked aimlessly around or actually running trying to find the auditorium for the speech. Eventually, they found it and then Ruby abandoned me to go with her sister. Well, now where am I going to find a nice, cute but quirky girl like her. I thought before walking into the crowd of students. Preferably at the outer edges of the crowd.

After everything quite downed, the Headmaster of Beacon gave us a speech about wasted potential and how we need to take the first step. It was very cryptic and honestly not at all motivational. If anything it was probably to decrease Morale in the non - confident students. Dad taught me better though, to be confident even if the odds are low. Which was honestly making me feel even more nervous, What if I didn't pass initiation, What if I didn't do good enough?

The negative thoughts were cast adrift when we were told to report to the ballroom for the day, it wasn't even night yet...maybe I can explore a bit. Who knows I can even meet another friend.

After aimlessly walking around I stumbled upon the cafeteria. It was huge, like very big and it was not too full. There were some students in a school uniform which were most likely the upperclassmen, and maybe soon to be students that were not in uniform socializing. I ended up joining the line and grabbed some cereal, now with breakfast…(again) in hand I analyzed who I could sit with and maybe make some small talk.

Let's see...There was a table with four people sitting in, a Faunus with bunny ears, Big tall guy, Girl with shades and a Beret, and a guy with Red hair and white eyes. If I sit there I would most likely get flamed by them, they are upperclassmen. On another table sat another 4 students that were initiates like me. There was a tall chestnut haired brute in armor, a rather odd mohawk green haired guy. A guy with dirty blonde hair and another guy with navy blue hair. These guys look more like jocks and I'm getting a bad vibe off of them so cross them out of the list.

And then there were two people sitting on a table by themselves, It was what appeared to be a man with black hair but an odd pink streak was randomly there, then there was a girl with ginger hair which seems to be the one out of the two talking more. They look friendly enough, and they are initiates like me. With that in thought, Jaune walked over to the table.

"Hey, is it okay if I can sit here"

At this, the guy looked up with a stoic face and the girl who was chatting in the guy's ear stopped and went wide-eyed. "Is...Is that the limited edition Pumpkin Pete hoodie!" the girl shouted gaining some attention.

"Why yes it is, it's rather stylish and good-looking don't ya say?" Jaune said with pride, No one disses this bunny.

The boy with the stoic face made himself known "Nora don't shout at people!" the boy scolded before turning to me "Sorry about that she usually doesn't do that, I'm Lie Ren but you can just call me Ren." the boy said with the same poker face.

"And I am Nora Valkyrie, Queen of all sloths!" the girl saluted

"Well, my name is Jaune Arc and its nice to meet you two." Jaune threw a thumbs up

With that Jaune sat down and the trio began talking to one another about random stuff, like arcades and then animals. Nora can really tell good stories too like about her and Ren traveling Mistral and battling giant hordes of Grimm, Ren was meanwhile correcting the story while Jaune was laughing a bit. Seriously these two are polar opposites, I wonder why they hang out with each other. But before Jaune could ask an announcement about initiates must report to the ballroom for the day.

It was getting late and Jaune was feeling tired, Jaune said his goodbyes and threw his tray away. Getting his luggage and changing into black shorts and a white T-shirt with his sleeping bag in hand Jaune made way for the ballroom. Finding a decent spot and hitting the pillow He was going to be out like a light.

The sun rose and everyone was up preparing for initiation, It was said that all initiates must be ready by 10:00 am so with that the locker rooms soon became crowded. And a bumbling fool was trying to find his locker.

Seriously who designed this place, I swear my locker was at the third row.

After a couple of minutes, he finally found it, entering the code and taking out his Equipment and backpack he was ready and closed the door. Teams were apparently to be formed today and that was good. Me, Ren, Nora, and Ruby could make an awesome team since the teams consisted of four people. They are the first people I have met and talked to in this place and they are funny and nice.

Looking at the floor and thinking, he wasn't watching where he was going and bumped into someone making them fall. Looking down he saw...uh - oh.

Anger was slowly building upon the face of the white-haired girl from yesterday, and in all honesty, she looked really scary and beautiful. She also looked like she was going to kill me, better apologize quick.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." I quickly stammered out

"You blind fool do you know who you're talking to!" The girl spat, quickly getting up and dusting herself off she sent an Icy glare at me. Before I could even reply she answered her question for me "You're talking to the heiress to the Schnee dust company!"

"Um…..Okayyy?" What was she expecting me to do? put a medallion of honor on her?

"Weiss I'm sure he didn't mean to bump into you, he did apologize." A girl with Crimson red hair said strolling onto the scene.

Although the white-haired girl now known as Weiss probably wanted to put my head on a pike and burn the rest of my body to dust, she seemed to restrain herself from doing so "Well make sure it doesn't happen again" she said sending me a glare which pretty much explained what I thought earlier.

"Well now that emotions are out-of-the-way, I'll properly introduce myself." I outstretched my hand to the crimson girl "I'm Jaune Arc what's your name."

The crimson girl looked a little confused but with a mix of shock? Jeez is she gonna blow up like Weiss because I didn't know her? The girl ended up smiling and introduced herself to me. "Well, it's nice to meet you to Jaune I am Pyrrha Nikos."

Weiss stretched her hands and pushed Me and Pyrrha away from each other. "Wait, do you even know who you're talking to?"

No

"No not in the slightest."

"She is Pyrrha Nikos," she said pointing at her as She waved at me again "The four-time Mistral tournament Champion!" She pretty much exclaimed

"She is the what now?"

"Has graduated top of the class at Sanctum Academy!"

"Well, congratulations to you."

Weiss started flailing her arms around "Oh for crying out loud...She's in front of every Pumpkin Pete's marshmallow and flakes BOX!"

Wait are you SERIOUS!

"...THAT'S YOU! Ah, now I know" The crimson girl's eyes dimmed a little "Your the cereal girl, the cereal I ate fifty box tops for my hoodie." The crimson girl's eyes lightened up a little.

"Yeah, but sadly the cereal isn't very good for you…"

"Of all things you recognize her for!" She facepalmed again "I'm in a school full of morons."

"Well, I heard teams are forming up maybe the three of us can be on a team together?" Jaune said

"No thanks, I'm fine the way I am," Weiss said while looking at Pyrrha

Pyrrha seemed like she was on board for Team Jaune "Well it would be wonderful if we can a team together."

"Well Weiss, the spots are filling up on the winning team quickly you sure you're fine the way you are?" Jaune said getting close to Weiss while he had a smug look on his face.

"W - what I - Pyrrha do something!" And not even two seconds later Jaune was nailed to a locker.

What did I do!

Weiss walked passed me while Pyrrha grabbed her spear from my hoodie saying a quick apology. Oh man, I could have died, She better watch where she throws that spear! I'm lucky I have an aura.

"Having trouble there Lady killer?" a voice said above me looking up I saw a girl, she had Long blonde hair and really big...figures, Lilac eyes and a very bold choice of apparel.

"Hey Jaune" A young voice I recognized as Ruby came strolling behind the blonde haired girl

"Hi, Ruby and um who is this?" He asked looking between the two, are they cousins, friends?

"Well this is my loving Half - Sister Yang," she said introducing Yang

"Sup Vomit Boy the names Yang Xiao - Long," she said in a teasing voice

Jaune paled and at some point, his hair was covering his eyes and a rain cloud formed above him. Why me "Not you too, it's back to being Vomit Boy again."

"Yangggg don't make fun of Jaune," She said but was giggling a bit, Liar she wants it to happen!

"Would all first-year students please report to the Beacon Cliff for initiation!" A voice came out on the speakers

"Well looks like we should get moving before we get kicked out of Beacon for lollygagging," Jaune said leading the two girls to the Cliff, Actually I was just following the crowd.

Putting on the Kitsune mask on his backpack he settled himself for the upcoming initiation.

To say Jaune was nervous was an understatement, He had many questions and one of them was now about the fact that they are standing on a cliff looking out at a forest that was very dense. Do they want us to climb down there or something?

"For years you have all trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Blah, Blah...come on when are we gonna start Jaune thought as the rather boring speech continued.

"...Each of you will be given teammates...today." Nice finally we get to pick our Teammates, I hope Ruby, Ren, Nora, maybe even Pyrrha would agree to be on a team with me. Jaune caught the snip bits of the team assignments

"...That being said, the person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." Wait….WHAT!

"Whaaaat?" Ruby screamed next to me, honestly, it sounded like her world just shattered, I was kind of shocked too.

"After you've been partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path...or you will die." With the tone the Headmaster put, in the end, Jaune's eyes narrowed at the forest.

"You will be monitored and graded throughout your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene." he continued "You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. Now then are there any questions?" Several questions actually.

"Yeah, I have a few actually?"

"Good now take your positions"

Did the bastard just ignore me! Does he know what's about to happen!

"So the whole part about getting down from the cliff?"

"You will be falling and using your own landing strategy"

I KNOW THAT YOU DUMB - "Wait so your just gonna make us go off into a forest filled with dangerous GRIMMMMMMMMM!" Jaune was cut off by being propelled in the air.

Now to say Jaune was unprepared was an understatement. He apparently didn't catch the part about being springboarded off a cliff and into a forest. This is why you pay attention kids. Jaune was screaming, manly screams! Spinning in the air he tried to steady himself which was not going well for him considering how he isn't positioned right for...you know being launched off a cliff.

Jaune didn't hear the incoming spear hurled at him and just for that it nailed him right in the hoodie. After the spear caught him and his body hitting the tree that was not soft at all, he looked at what nailed him. And saw that it was Pyrrha's spear. Is this girl CRAZY! She could have killed me. A cold sweat appeared through Jaune's mask, He heard a distant 'Sorry' but he was not gonna waste any time for her to reclaim her weapon. Yeah, imma just go and skedaddle.

After pulling the spear off with his own strength, he laid the weapon near the tree and ran through the bushes. With his left hand on the katana, Jaune ran a considerable distance from the almost crime scene.

"Damnit where was North again?" Great, he was talking to himself. Swatting many branches aside and walking into bushes with a lot of thorns. Hiking has never been so annoying and boring. Walking around for a little Jaune was becoming very familiar with a certain clearing he keeps on passing by.

Jaune sighed to himself, initiation wasn't going well. He might be lost and admittedly a little nervous. Why was he nervous...well when you are in a forest filled with monsters who seek nothing but the destruction of humanity it kind of tends to make you nervous. Also, he was getting graded on performance which was kind of scaring him the most but what he needed to worry about was finding a partner.

A bush nearby rustled but a sixth sense was telling him that it wasn't friendly. Not even a second after he thought that a clawed hand lunged out at his face. Dodging with a panicked step he somersaulted back and drew his katana. With the right hand on top of the hilt and left hand on the bottom. Jaune got into his stance and locked on the creature in front of him. He knew from basic Grimm studies that Beowolves tend to hunt in packs. He would need to keep a careful eye out while he was fighting.

And also because of his negative thoughts, the Grimm were attracted to him, dammit just my luck. What most people tend to believe is that Grimm would charge mindlessly into its opponent but that's not the case, at least for Grimm that has been born not even a day or two from now. The Beowulf was sizing him up and crawling around him. Jaune stayed silent listening for extra paws hitting the ground, this could either be a stray or just a very intelligent pack I'm up against.

The Beowulf ended up howling and with that, the rest of the pack came out, luckily it wasn't a big one. With all the other students roaming around he doubted they would stay in one big pack. Jaune counted at least eight Beowolves, that would be enough he didn't want to spend most of his time-fighting Grimm. He did have an initiation to pass.

A Beowulf lunged at him, Jaune ended up leaping back but in a stance to bounce back. The Beowulf overextended, too bad. Leaping forward Jaune swung his sword down on the arm chopping it off, the Beowulf stood on its legs exposing its neck. With that opening, Jaune plunged the katana deep and quickly pulled it out. He spun around and slashed at the incoming Beowulf's jaw. The sword struck true slicing the young Beowulf's lower jaw clean off. Sensing danger coming from behind, Jaune side-stepped spinning already winding up a slash striking the stomach of another Grimm exposing its insides.

With two Grimm slowly bleeding out and moving a tad bit slower Jaune focused on the 5 remaining Grimm. Reaching into his pouch with his left hand and sliding two shurikens into his index and ring finger. He threw the shuriken making them curve hitting two Beowolves. With the heavy impact on the Grimm and the volatile powdered fire dust in the air, it exploded the heads of the two Grimm. Jaune jumped behind a tree to avoid the shards of the shuriken. A light smoke surrounded the area and Jaune saw he injured an extra Beowulf with the shards. Jaune focused aura to his feet and jumped high on a thick tree branch. With the remaining two Beowolves Jaune stealthy jumped from tree to tree using the environment to his advantage.

He'd rather see than charge through the smoke, the Beowolves were slowly separating from each other.

Once the Beowolves got a reasonable distance from each other Jaune jumped down from the tree thrusting his katana into the Beowulf's head. The force from which he fell and the force he was applying on the sword. It easily pierced the skull essentially killing it, the smoke cleared and not wasting a beat Jaune charged at the remaining Beowulf. Sensing his approach it slashed at him only to find Jaune ducking and already thrusting his sword into the heart.

*THUD*

With the body of the last Grimm hitting the ground Jaune sighed in relief. It wasn't that bad but he'd rather get going on his way before anything else shows up. With that, he turned around only to hear more bushes rustling and tree's snapping. Something big is coming.

After that thought an Alpha Beowulf popped out of the dense foliage, Jaune still having his Katana out got into his stance. Only for the Alpha to fall...body already disappearing. Jaune stood there with the most confused face, not at the alpha dying but with the girl riding on the back of it. The ginger stood up dusting herself disappointment written on her face and she finally looked up.

To show the one and only Nora Valkyrie.

"Well your not Ren but I guess you're my partner now Jaune." blood still on my mask and my katana slowly sheathing to my side, Jaune stood there shell-shocked that his partner was a Grimm rider.

"I...uh...um well" Scratching the back of his head confused on what to say, Nora beat him to it.

"Well let's get going silly, the relics aren't going to wait for us! Onward to the north," she said walking to what Jaune assumed was north. With a shrug he followed, I was lost anyway.

After a 5 minute walk, they stumbled across a sleeping Ursa, Nora was having ideas that Jaune wasn't sure he was going to like.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking," she said in a quiet but in a tone that was excited.

"Um...sneak past the Ursa and continue north like we're supposed to?" Jaune questioned

She soon jumped out of the bushes making a full sprint to the Ursa. Then she did the craziest thing. She jumped onto its back and the Ursa fully awoke.

You have to be kidding ME!

"WOOOOO HOOOOO come on Jaune jump on hurry"

Was she MAD! Jaune knew that doing so is a death wish. But this was his partner now so he had to follow her...he also just didn't want to lose his guide out of the forest so he jumped on anyways hanging on one of the spikes on its back. Nora with immense strength guided the enraged and slightly confused Ursa north.

Jeez, this girl has strength, also how is she guiding the Ursa...WHY ARE WE EVEN DOING THIS!

"Nora...why are we riding on top of a URSA!" Jaune yelled over the roars

"Because why waste our energy walking through a dense forest when we can get this big guy to do it for us." She said with a tone that was pretty much saying she was serious.

Jaune didn't even argue, first, he almost got nailed to a tree by a crazy girl who was on every front of his cereal box and now this! Whatever god is up there...can I meet someone normal.

The Ursa eventually crashed through a rather thick bush and upon that a clearing, with that Jaune, pulled his dagger out and stuck the blade into its throat. Twisting it out with blood coming out he jumped off of the Ursa spinning his body around to see if it died. It fell with Nora still on it smiling like a maniac. Man, I thought Nora was a normal girl but boy how wrong I was.

"Aw you broke it…" she said in a sad tone.

Jaune just sighed and shook his head "Nora jumping on the back of an Ursa is very dangerous let's not do that again." Turning around he noticed two girls and he only knew one of them.

Yang and the girl with the black bow on her head from yesterday were standing there looking at what just happened. They looked about as shocked as I did when I first saw Nora riding in on an alpha Beowulf, normal reactions for something abnormal.

Yang coming out of her shocked state stated the obvious "Did you guys just ride in on the back of an Ursa? Or am I seeing things."

"Oh Jaune-y those might be the relics" a gasp was heard before Nora became a blur and when she was spotted again she was dancing in the ruins with a rook piece on top of her head.

She was saying something about being queen on the castle which made Jaune laugh a little.

Until something rumbling on the ground took the 4 teens attention. Two figures running out of the tree line were making a mad dash for us, not even two seconds later did a very very big Deathstalker emerged from the forest behind them.

"Um okay, first the Ursa now a Deathstalker...what is going on?" Yang stated even more shocked

"Well let's just hope nothing more happens to ruin our already horrible day," Jaune said looking at the two figures that were now recognized as Ren and Pyrrha. Did they just bring that Deathstalker here...I wouldn't be that stupid to get close to it. It wouldn't touch me because who would stumble across a deathstalker and get snatched by it?.

In a different universe a blond knight sneezed in the cafeteria of Beacon Academy, Man someone must be talking about me hope it's about something good.

"Are you okay Jaune?" Pyrrha asked

"Yeah I'm fine"

*CAW* *CAW*

"Heads upppppp!" a voice shouted from the sky. Looking up Jaune and the others saw Ruby falling from the sky at a very fast rate. Yang ended up shouting something out of annoyance.

Jaune getting out of his shocked state ran in position to catch the falling girl. Readying his aura on his arms and legs he waited for the girl to fall into his arms which she eventually did. "So wanna explain why you came falling from a nevermore?" he asked putting her down. Her silver eyes looked to his mask eyes which she couldn't really see cause they were slim like slits.

Before she could say a thank you, her sister crashed into her with a tight hug. Ruby was desperately trying to push her off. The young girl then realized something like she forgot something. "Oh crap, I forgot about Weiss!"

"HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME," Weiss yelled from the sky.

"I said jump"

Soon after a little white speck started coming down...rapidly growing in size. "Uh...is someone gonna do something about that?" Ren asked... Jaune sighed knowing what he had to do. That was until a pink blur flew into the sky and snatched Weiss from the sky.

Nora fell down and landed on the floor somehow cracking it. "Package acquired."

Weiss was then dropped and Nora was dusting her hands off. "I suppose I should say thank you for assisting me," Weiss said before sending a glare at Ruby. The girl in question was hiding behind her sister.

Wait isn't there a Deathstalker?

Jaune turned around to see that the Deathstalker was just standing out in the clearing, it was just watching them. What the heck is it doing? The oversized scorpion noticed that now everyone was finally done with there shenanigans it started charging to the group. Uh - oh

"Great the gang's all here! Now we can all die together!" Yang said shouted

"Not if I can help it!" Ruby said rushing towards the giant scorpion with a burst of speed, Is that her semblence? Jaune observed. Although it was an incredible show of agility, she needed backup and quick.

"Ruby, wait!" Yang shouted

Ruby kept charging forward with a battle cry she fired her gun - scythe at the Deathstalker which had no effect due to its frontal plate being thick. When she finally was upon the Deathstalker she was quickly swatted away. In slow motion, Jaune saw her red aura flare upon impact.

"Ruby I'm coming hold on!" Yang said running toward Ruby to assist her.

Ruby realized that the situation was bad and started running toward the group. But seemingly out of nowhere, a line of sharpened barbed feathers fell. Luckily she wasn't hit and instead got pinned by the cape. Unluckily the row of feathers prevented Yang from reaching her. Also, the Deathstalker was fast approaching behind Ruby.

A line of white circles started appearing and started spinning with an ice symbol. Looking back Jaune saw Weiss concentrating until she eventually shot forward like a bullet. Looking back at the scene, the Deathstalkers stinger was rising to strike Ruby.

Until the stinger was encased in ice. The white spinning circle things disappeared, everyone sighed in relief and then they heard Weiss berating Ruby for her recklessness. Weiss eventually walked toward the group. Ruby and Yang came not too far behind. But Jaune noticed something was missing...Where was that nevermore?

And then Jaune saw it, the avian creature with its massive black wings broke through the clouds heading straight for all of us."Looks like birdie wants round two." Nora said she was paying attention to the enemy. Well at least me and my partner never keep eyes off the enemy.

"There's no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us." everyone stared at the relics.

"Weiss is right. Our mission was to secure an artifact and make it back to the Cliffs, we don't need to fight these Grimm." Jaune stated to everyone

The pairs who didn't grab a relic piece grabbed one, Ren picked up the remaining knight chess piece and Ruby grabbed the remaining rook piece.

"Time we left!" Ren said causing everyone to run towards the cliffs.

Jaune was at the front of the group leading them out of the forest and into another abandoned series of structures as the Nevermore follows them from the air. The 8 teen group spread out when the avian Grimm passed above. Concealing themselves behind some stone blocks with their allies as the Nevermore perched onto the high column and cawed.

Soon after, the Deathstalker burst through the forest. "Well, that's great! We are sandwiched" The group soon ran out of there cover with no choice but towards the nevermore causing it to rise up into the air. The Deathstalker was fast approaching and it might hit us soon.

"Nora, distract it!" Ren shouted causing the girl in question to jump out of her cover through the feather projectiles before reaching behind her and launching several heart-topped grenade shells from her grenade launcher. Once the shells hit the nevermore it backed off. Unaware of the incoming Deathstalker behind her Blake and Ren perform a cross - slash with there weapons against the hard plated shell.

Weiss landed next to Nora and created one of those spinning circles acting as a solid platform beneath them and leaped to safety. The Deathstalker is now aggroed to Blake and Ren. Pyrrha fired a few shots at the Deathstalker to at least slow it down a bit, it wasn't effective. The eight of us raced over the ancient stone bridge. Until suddenly a force so great knocked Jaune over.

Jaune looked back and noticed the bridge was now gone. The Nevermore obliterated it with one of its wings. It also ended up separating the group leaving me, Nora, Weiss, and Ruby on the one side while Pyrrha, Ren, Blake, and Yang on the other. The latter was battling the Deathstalker on the other side of the bridge while a now circling Nevermore was above us.

"Ren, hold on I'm coming," Nora shouted and was readying to launch to the other side. I grabbed her shoulder and fixed her with a stern glare through my mask.

"Nora they can deal with the Deathstalker, we can't leave Ruby and Weiss alone to deal with the Nevermore." Jaune said with a serious tone "Let's get up the central collum and see what we can do."

Nora was contemplating whether or not she should listen. She looked at The Deathstalker and back to the Nevermore, Jaune hand tightened. She relented eventually trusting Jaune and that her fellow comrades could deal with there own problem. Jumping up onto the center meeting up with Ruby and Weiss, the four focused the gazes onto the flying creature.

Ruby opened fired on the Grimm and Weiss was doing her thing. Nora was trying to get a clear shot of the Nevermore with her grenade launcher but it was moving to quick for her to hit it.

"Everyone we need to lure it towards us, Ruby focus your fire on the head of the nevermore and make it disoriented" Ruby nodded doing just that. "Weiss I need you to focus on creating one of those spinning circle things and launch Nora at the Nevermore when it gets close." Weiss sighed and did as she was told. "Nora I need you to launch your grenade shells inside its mouth and hopefully kill it when you mount the Nevermore, Think you can do it?" Nora smiled

"Got it!" Nora said with a deadly tone

"Heads up the nevermore is coming in," Ruby shouted causing Nora to get into position and Weiss to start aiming for the beak of the Nevermore.

Once it got close enough Weiss launched Nora toward the Nevermore. Nora reached it and grabbed on to its beak forcefully prying its mouth open, Nora then held her grenade launcher with one hand and fired some shells into it and leaped off of it. After she landed back onto the central collum the nevermore crashed right into the cliff shrieking in pain. It was still alive which was the problem. Jaune needed to end it now but what would kill it fast.

That's right speed! Jaune looked toward Ruby and her scythe and then looked at Weiss. Ruby is fast which might be due to her semblence amplifying it and Weiss can summon those spinning circle things which can launch and make people go faster!

"Weiss I need you to launch Ruby at the Nevermore's neck and make more of those circle thingys to the top of the cliff, Ruby I need you to hook your scythe around its neck and Run as fast as you can up the cliff!" Jaune shouted which Weiss did and Ruby getting into position on the spinning circle thing.

The nevermore was stunned but was slowly recovering from the massive damage it just took, but it looked like it wasn't getting up anytime soon. Ruby was then launched toward the Nevermore and latched her scythe around the neck. Ruby with her speed started running up the cliff with the assist of Weiss' spinning thingys making her go even faster. The Nevermore was being dragged up and slowly the scythe was cutting through the neck. As Ruby reached the top the Nevermore's head was cleanly lopped off and the rest of its body came falling down. Ruby then looked down at us popping a thumbs up and pretty much was having her moment.

A big sigh was heard which was Jaune falling onto his butt, Weiss then joined him to having a strain from all the fighting and summoning. "Ugh, I hope no other Gri -" Jaune was cut off by Weiss slamming her hand onto his mouth. Well her hand hit his mask. But it shut Jaune up.

"Don't say anything Arc you might summon a hoard of Grimm on us by jinxing it." She also looked at me with a glare "Also those circles are not called spinning thingys, it is my semblance and they are called Glyphs."

"Hehe well, they do look like spinning thingys to me" Lasers were piercing through his head "But I'll keep it noted that they are called Glyphs now!"

"Hate to break the moment but," Nora said jumping between them "We got a long climb back up"

Jaune and Weiss sighed

"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, Sky Lark." The pictures of the said four students appeared on the screen. "The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward you will work together as Team CRDL (Cardinal), led by... Cardin Winchester."

The audience applauded as another pair of four students walked onto the stage and the former team leaving. "Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao - Long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward you will work together as Team LNBY (Lullaby)"

"Yeah we're gonna be the best team ever" Yang shouted, the rest of her Team smiled at the bombshell and walked off stage

Another pair walks onto the stage with the now named team walking off.

"And finally: Jaune Arc, Ruby Rose, Nora Valkyrie, Weiss Schnee. The four of you have retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JRVS. (Jarvis)"

Weiss smiled confidently getting ready to be positioned as a leader.

"Led by… Jaune Arc"

Weiss' world shattered into pieces

"Huh L - Led by…?" Jaune was confused about why he was appointed as a team leader

"Congratulations, young man," Ozpin said smiling at Jaune

"Oh yeah we're gonna be the best Team ever, were lead by a fearless leader no one can stop our crusade!" Nora shouted

"Nice going Jaune you got Team leader, I was kinda nervous on who was gonna be picked, I would have freaked out if it was me!" Ruby said with a smile on her face.

"Y- yeah I guess but uh um why would he pick me," Jaune said as he and his now newly Formed team walked off stage.

Behind them, Ozpin was grinning like he hit the Jackpot. "It looks like things are shaping up to be an...rather interesting year."

End Chapter

Author dude is back...now you may be confused or not and may be thinking

Why is Jaune a ninja

Why doesn't Jaune have crocea mors

Is Jaune Trained

Did he faked his way into Beacon

Etc.

Now I made him a ninja because why not, It's still Jaune. There's no tragic backstory or anything. Its just Jaune with no armor and different weapons. It is an AU.

Jaune doesn't have crocea mors because he is a Ninja I feel as if crocea mors should be kept more if Jaune was gonna be a tanky fighter. Yes I know crocea mors is a better sword than Jaune's katana and Yes I know that the blade is undoubtedly Unbreakable. Well, so what? Jaune trained his own way and adding a sword and shield into the Katana, shuriken, and kunai mix up would throw off his fighting style. He is more of an observer and environment based fighter and stealthy by hitting sneak attacks when he can in a smoke screen or from leaping out a hiding spot.

Is Jaune trained, Yes he is as you saw him fighting...He was confident in fighting a pack of 8 Beowolves and stated it wasn't that bad. He knows the basics of the everyday Grimm and he knows how to use the instruments of violence he has on him. He is a fighter that observes and waits. Just like in canon he is more on the caution side of things than reckless but when push comes to shove and things need to get done he can become a bit reckless like in the Nevermore fight when he was ordering Nora, Ruby, and Weiss...I mean he did launch two of them at a Nevermore but they were willing to do it. This chapter was just him and the gang meeting up and getting each other acquainted and then fighting Grimm. More info will be placed on Jaune of his fighting style against people in later chapters.

Did Jaune fake his way into Beacon? at least in this story no he did not. I assume Beacon would have a combat entrance exam and Jaune would take that to get his place into the school. His nervousness during the speech and the first quarter of initiation was perfectly normal. Because you know...being in a forest filled with monsters that seek the end of humanity tends to make you scared.

This was a pretty long chapter to write and I'm getting pretty tired writing this author's note. Well, it was the Initiation Arc (pun not intended) and I just wanted to get that stuff out of the way before I move further into the story.

Well with that said ima go to bed, Postive criticism, Review if you want, No flames, please.

Hope you enjoyed
