AN: So this is going to be fun! I'm pretty sure there are close to no fics with this pairing so I decided to be the one who starts this ship that me and my good friend Champion of Fate have dubbed, "The Ravens Knight!" Or, "Raven Knight!" Either one really doesn't matter to me but I know you are all here to read this story and not listen to me ramble on about useless info. So without any further delay let this ship set sail!
Beta Reader: Champion of Fate.
Jaune Arc was fucked. He was completely fucked. He brought his team to the breach to try and help but found that he himself was being nothing more then a burden. While everyone else was fighting Jaune was able to kill a few Grimm by himself but his luck turned south when a King Taijitu's tail smacked into him and sent him flying. Jaune smacked into a building that was next to the giant hole in the ground where all the Grimm came out of and he found himself falling into it. Jaune reached for the edge of the hole but missed it by an inch as he fell into the giant hole in the ground, and as he hit the ground he immediately fell unconscious.
After an unknown amount time Jaune awoke to pitch black darkness. His entire body ached as he forced himself up off the ground. He found his sword as well as his shield on the ground next to him as he began to traverse through the darkness. Jaune kept his blade and shield and blade out as he heard things moving around through the darkness. He saw red eyes in the darkness as they watched him and he felt fear begin to fill his entire being.
He then began to run, he ran faster then he had ever ran in his entire life. His fear had taken complete control over his entire body and he did the first thing he thought of doing. It wasn't long before he was hit to the ground by a Beowolf as it sunk its teeth into his shoulder. Jaune yelled out pain as he shoved his sword into the Grimm's neck and cut its head off. He then found himself blocking the strike from an Ursa Major that hits him into a nearby wall.
Another Beowolf somehow managed to sneak up on him sunk its claws into Jaune's left arm causing him to drop his shield and causes Jaune to yell out in pain once more. Once he felt the Beowolf release his arm he stabbed the Grimm in its mouth. He then bent down to pick his shield back up off of the ground and started to run again only for his back to be clawed and him be hurled to the ground once more.
Jaune managed to roll out of the way as a Beowolf major stabbed its claws into the ground. He then sliced off the Grimm's arm as he began to limp away from the massive group of Grimm that were still chasing him. He was bleeding profusely from the bites and claws marks he had gotten so much that his clothes were now stained red and blood began to drip down onto the ground.
As Jaune was running he was suddenly smacked into the wall of the underground cavern by the tail of a King Taijitu. Jaune was now bleeding from a cut he had gotten from hitting the wall of the cavern. Jaune slowly picked himself up off of the ground only to be met by the large group of grimm who stared at him hungrily.
'Is this it? Is this where I am going to die? Is this cave going to be my grave?' Jaune thought to himself.
Memories of his time with his family as a child began to flow through his mind. Playing with his sisters, cooking with his mom, training what little he did before he came to Beacon with his father and grand father, and the times he spent with his friends and his team at Beacon. He begins to weep as the realization of his situation begins to become apparent to him.
He was going to die. Die with no one around him and be forgotten as a stain upon the Arc name. A nameless nobody who fought a fleeting fight who will never be remembered whatsoev-!
"NO!" Jaune roared as a faint white light began to envelop him and the Grimm took a step back.
Jaune's wounds slowly began to heal as the light that surrounded him became more intense and lit up the cavern he was trapped in.
"I will not die here you hear me!? I will become a huntsmen, I will return to Beacon, I will make my family proud of me, and no soulless bunch of monsters is going to take that from me! So come on! Come at me!" Jaune yelled aloud.
Two Creeps lunged at Jaune and before they could get close to him a long red blade came out from the shadows and sliced both of their heads off and they began to wilt as they hit the ground.
Jaune looked to where the blade had come from and saw a woman begin to step out of the shadows. The woman had pale white skin, and black hair. She wore a shallow cut black dress, five necklaces with an assortment of beads, a red girdle-belt, and a pair of matching red gauntlets. She also wears black, thigh-length boots with a red splatter pattern. Her most distinctive feature is a fearsome, full-face mask that resemble a Nevermore.
She fully walked out of the shadows with her long red blade and her sheath that has a rotary chamber filled with different types of Dust. She brought out her blade once more and it extended into a long red blade.
Jaune looked at her and then walked up next to her as he held his left arm that was still bleeding profusely. As he walked up next to her she seemed to also begin to emanate a bright white light. The mysterious woman looked at Jaune who looked at her and shrugged. The two of them then turned back to the Grimm and charged at the same time.
The woman swung her blade horizontally and sliced several Grimm in half. She then began to spin and her blade was set ablaze and burned the Grimm that surrounded her.
Jaune seemed to be empowered for some reason with his new ally by his side. He began to fight more ferociously, more brutally, and more skillfully somehow. As a King Taijitu tried to bite him Jaune shoved his shield into its mouth and then ran his sword into its skull. He then pulled out both his weapons and flung his shield it found its way into the neck of an Ursa Major. He flipped his blade around and stabbed a Creep in its mouth before he kicked it away from him.
The mystery woman quickly sheathed her blade and when she drew it once more it now had a blue blade instead of a red one. She stabbed it into the ground and ice spikes shot up from the ground and impaled many Grimm in the cavern around them. She then took her blade out of the ground and put it back into its sheath.
Jaune had by this time gotten his shield back and put it back into its sheath form and placed it back on his hip. He was about to sheath his blade when he saw an Ursa bust through the ice with its mouth wide open and aimed for his mysterious allies head. He then threw the blade and managed to impale the blade into the Ursa's head, right between its eyes, stopping it in its tracks.
The woman looked at Jaune before she looked down at the blade. She reached down and pulled out of the Ursas skull and tossed it back to Jaune who managed to catch it. He then put the blade into its sheath.
Jaune then looked around the cavern to see if there were anymore Grimm and saw none. He then looked over to his mysterious ally who was about to step into a portal but before she did so she pointed to something and then left through her portal without another word.
Jaune looked to where she had pointed and saw what looked to be light coming down from a hatch above. He ran as fast as he could over to it and began to climb. The light came from a hole that led to outside of Vale city.
The sun was beginning to set as Jaune made his way back into the city with his clothes torn, and his body still stained with his own blood.
~At Beacon~
The members of teams RWBY and the rest of NPR were currently mourning their, supposedly, fallen friend in the Beacon court yard. They knew not what had happened to him during the battle. He just simply seemed to vanish during it and their was absolutely no trace of him anywhere. It wasn't odd that a student would sometimes fall while on a mission, in fact it happened more then you would think, but the fact that it happened to someone they were so close too was...was almost to hard to bare.
Ruby and Pyrrah sobbed uncontrollably as their friends tried to comfort them but it was no use. Ruby had just lost her first and best friend who had been their for her whenever she needed him. Pyrrah cared for Jaune more then anyone she had ever in her life. He was the first person to see her as just Pyrrah and not, "Pyrrah Nikos - the goddess of victory." He was her crush and her best friend that she could have ever asked for and now he was gone.
Yang tried to comfort her sister but it had no effect. She was inconsolable. Yang had never seen her little sister like this but she could understand why. She had just lost her closest friend and nothing in the world would be able to stop the flow of tears that were coming from her eyes.
Ren tried to both comfort Pyrrah and his childhood friend at the same time. Nora cried into Ren's chest as Pyrrah was on her knees with her face in her hands sobbing uncontrolably. Ren himself was also saddened by the loss of his friend and leader who was like a brother to him. The two of them were actually the only guy friend that one another had at the school and the loss of his battle brother hit Ren hard. Nora weaped for her fallen fearless leader, and how she could never joke around with him anymore, but mainly that he wouldn't be around anymore.
Blake knew Jaune very little but was saddened by his passing. He cared not that she was a faunus and defended faunus from Cardin when he would bully them. He was one of a kind and she would miss him greatly.
Weiss could care less about Jaune. He was always a nuisance to her and would constantly bug her about going out with him. She was glad that such a worthless excuse of a man and a huntsman in training was gone for good. But she wouldn't say that out loud less she be pumbled by those around her.
The professors were saddened that a student with such potential was cut down in the prime of their youth and on their watch no less! They were all saddened to certain degree with Jaune's passing but they all felt the pain that their students were currently going through.
Ozpin then saw something out of the corner of his eye and immediately turned his head to see what it was and was surprised to see none other then Jaune Arc standing in front of the setting sun with his clothes torn, his body mauled and bloody, and he wore a pained expression upon his face. Ozpin smiled as no one else but him had noticed the boy slowly walking towards them.
"Welcome back to Beacon...Mr. Arc." Ozpin said making everyone turn their heads to see Jaunes battered and bloodied body slowly walking towards them.
Jaune stopped to look at his friends and he smiled at them. Everyone, except for Weiss, ran towards him and surrounded him. Ruby got to him first and wrapped her arms around him and almost made him fall back onto the ground. He placed his hand on her head and pulled her close with his strong arm while the other one still hung limply to his side.
"I thought that you were...you were...!" Ruby said in between her sobs.
"I'm okay now Ruby. And can you stop squeezing me so tight. Its getting hard to breathe." Jaune said as his face began to turn blue.
Ruby quickly let him go and put her hand on his back as he keeled over trying to catch his breathe. Everyone, except Weiss, then came up and hugged him grateful that he was still alive. Ozpin then walked up to him and Jaune stood up as if to present himself but relaxed once he saw Ozpin smile at him.
"Its good to see your okay Mr. Arc. For the mst part." Ozpin said.
"Thank you...sir." Jaune said as he held his arm as a surge of pain ran through it.
"You've no doubt had a difficult time getting back here. It would be best if you rest until your injuries are fully healed. So come with me to the infirmary." Ozpin said.
Jaune nodded his head and followed Ozpin after he told his friends goodbye. They made their way to the infirmary where Jaune was taken into a room and put immediantly into a room for the severity of his wounds. He was put on an I.V. and then they gave him something that knocked him ut so he could rest. He needed it.
~To Raven~
Raven was feeling strange.
Ever since she helped that boy back in the underground railways beneath Vale and his aura coated her and him while they fought the Grimm together. She figured it must have been some side effect from teleporting too much but this had never happened before in the past. She took off her mask and wiped the little bit of blood that was stained on it from the battle letting her long flowing black hair down. She unstrapped her sword from her hip and laid it next to her as she put her mask on the other side of her. She then felt her eyelids get heavy and she resigned herself to sleep.
She found that sleep was near impossible as images of the blonde boy from earlier continued to enter her dreams and disrupt her sleep. They weren't sexual in any way, shape, or form but the fact was that it happened repeatedly to her throughout the night. She would have to get to the bottom of this soon.
As soon as she could get some actual sleep.
