Knight of Fish here, it has been awhile since I have posted anything that closely resembles a story on here. Soo sorry about that kinda, writer block on my other fan fic and the list of games I had come out on me hurt my writing. Also I spent a long time catching up on a lot of animes I was watching. Also work has been going through a ton of changes on me all these things combined knocked my will and time to write out. Now I am back and better then ever. Maybe anyhow...well this being said don't expect fast updates on this story. I will post it when it is done. So with that being said here is my new story set in once again the realm of RWBY. Why you ask? Because it is RWBY and why the heck not.

The Bullhead flew through the snowstorm towards Beacon Academy, both the pilots sighed in unison as they tried their best to pick out the landing site through all the snow. This was made even harder by the fact, that it was around midnight and both of the pilots were exhausted. "So Dave, what is so important about this passenger that they had to be delivered tonight?" the co-pilot asked the captain.

"Damned if I know Raphi. All I've heard was that we were supposed to get him here tonight through rain or snow," Dave said.

Both of the pilots took their eyes off of the cockpit for one second to look behind them at their scruffy and blonde haired passenger. Who seemed to be asleep.

"Hell he doesn't look very important to me for us to have to deal with this huge snowstorm and not get paid extra," Raphi grumbled as he turned his attention back to the cockpit and continued to try and make out Beacon Academy's landsite.

"Quit your bitchin, and lets just get this job done so we can go back to Vale proper and see our families for a bit," Dave scolded his co-pilot.

"Yeah? Well, the higher ups can go to hell if they tell me to fly a mission like this and not give me a little extra pay for it," Raphi complained again as he completely ignored Dave.

"Why is it every time I fly with you, as my co-pilot, you find something to complain about?" Dave asked Raphi in a annoyed voice.

"Because every time I fly with you it is on a extremely hard and annoying mission," Raphi answered in a irritated voice.

"So what you're insinuating is that I am bad luck or something!?" Dave questioning his voice getting hard.

"Well I was not gonna say it that way, but I am!" Raphi answered back in a angry voice.

Meanwhile, in the back of the Bullhead the blonde man woke up from all the yelling that was happening in the cockpit. At first he woke up disorientated and confused as to all hell as to what was going on. Where was he and how did he get there? Then it all came back to him as his brain woke up. He was on a transport ship on his way back to Beacon Academy after being away for two years doing special training.

Though why was he awake now? It still felt like they were flying. He had willed himself to sleep to fight off his nausea that always hit him whenever he flew or was on a ship in the middle of water. Ah, wait they were still flying, with that his stomach also woke up and a wave of nausea hit him hard, but he shook it off. Which he could do for awhile now due to his training he completed over the last two years to become a better Hunter.

"Why the hell don't you just transfer to another transport ship then you annoying bastard!" one of the pilots yelled at the other.

'Maybe I should get up and go check to see if there are any problems' the blonde man thought to himself and he got to his feet and gulped down another wave of nausea that hit him. He then slowly made his way to the front of the transport ship and stopped as soon as his head ducked into the cockpit. He looked out the big window of the transport ship to see it was pitch black outside. He felt bad for the pilots knowing that trying to see through this pitch blackness could not be very easy for them.

"Welcome to the cockpit sir is there anything we can do for you?" the main pilot asked him as he looked away from the cockpit towards where the blonde man was coming up behind him.

"Uh, no, I was just wondering if there was a problem up here due to all the yelling and such," the blonde man replied.

"Sorry about that Arc sir, it was just my co-pilot Raphi, being stupid is all," Dave replied to him.

"As long as everything is okay then it is fine, I was just worried that something broke on the ship or a creature of Grimm was attacking us or something," he replied to Dave.

"Yeah, well, even if those things did happen and we somehow completed the flight I still doubt we would get any extra pay," Raphi grumbled.

"Oh, would you shut up about it already? We know how unfair the world can be sometimes, so lets just get this flight done so you can go complain to the higher ups about getting paid more all you want," Dave said to Raphi who only grunted in response.

"Seems like you two are stressed out. for which I am sorry if I could I would tell you to land this ship somewhere else for the night but I cannot even go against the words of my superiors," the blonde guy said to the two pilots. He meant it, knowing that it had to be stressful flying through this weather for one passenger who did not seem all that important at all. Well not, that he didn't consider himself special. Though if he was in either one of their shoes he doubt he would see himself as special at all.

"You are fine Mr. Arc don't worry about our arguing with each other none. We are always like this when we are near the end of a flight. It helps us both stay awake on the end of flights like this," Dave told him.

"Do you know if we are almost there?" he asked Dave.

"We should be there now, but we have been circling for the past few minutes looking for the landing platform," Raphi spat out after holding his silence.

"I can try and help out and spot it for you two…" Mr. Arc told them and with that, he looked out of the window into the blackness and began to search for the landing platform. Where oh where could you be landing platform? If only it was not so dark out and with the snow no wonder they are having problems. Though I know I can do it if I put my mind to it he thought to himself..

"How the hell could you possibly find something that two people have been looking…" Raphi began to protest Arc's help but was stopped midway through.

"There is the landing pad right there. To our left and down a 45 degree angle," Arc cut Raphi off with that.

Dave scanned the area that Arc has pointed out and saw it for himself. "Well I'll be damned. It's there. What were you about to say about how he would not be able to find it, eh, Raphi?"

"Go to hell," was all Raphi said before he went quiet with a scowl on his face.

"Well, Mr. Arc, I would get your things ready. We will be landing in five minutes, tops," Dave said to him.

"Thank you, both for your effort in getting me here, you both deserve a vacation after this," Arc said to both the pilot as thanks and went back to gather his things up.

He fastened his sword to his belt, and hooked his compact shield to his other arm. The heavy cloak came next to ward off the cold that he was about to endure when he got off the Bullhead. The last he did was slung his travelling sack over his shoulder and he was ready to depart.

As the Bullhead hit the landing pad, a wave of nausea hit him. Once again he gulped it back down and was left with a season of nothingness. The problem as it stood was he did not know how he was supposed to be feeling. Not after he had left two year ago from Beacon Academy. No, right now he should be feeling a sense of dread as to what might happen.

Then again maybe he should feel relieved considering, he only had a few months here before he technically graduated from this academy, and became an official Hunter for the Kingdom of Vale. If all went according to plan he would not have to see any of his old so called friends who all had betrayed him in his or her own way when he attended this academy. His thought process shattered as a wave of frigid air hit him hard in the face. This wave of icy air had suddenly came to be because the hatch on the Bullhead had opened up indicating that it was time for him to get off.

He waved at both the pilots signaling his thanks, to which only Dave waved back. While he could hear Raphi mutter something about how he still had twenty minutes of flying left, and how after this the higher ups could go suck it if they were going to make him fly missions like this again. Arc smiled at that as he jumped off the transport ship which then closed its doors and started on it's way to Vale proper. He hoped that both pilots made it back to their families safely, and that Raphi got the raise that he deserved so that he was not always so grumpy.

Arc then covered his eyes with his arm to shield his face from the torrent of snow that fell around him as he surveyed his surrounding. Facing him was a huge facility made up of different building. And behind him was a huge cliff that went down for miles upon miles. It seems that most of the building had their lights off which meant that most of the students and teachers were asleep which made his life easier. Now there is less of a chance of me meeting someone I do not want to tonight, he thought to himself and a sense of happiness washed over him at that thought.

Now all he had to do was locate the headmaster's office, which should be the one with lights on considering he should be up still. He started searching for a building that had it's lights on. At last after standing in the one spot for about two minutes he spotted it. A building with one bright light in a room on the upper floor. It was one of the buildings to his left, and about a three hundred feet walk for him.

He began the long trudge to the building through the intense snowfall. I hope they kept the door unlocked for me and have not forgotten I am coming tonight. If not, well, the they will find an Arcicle. I would also regret not being able to die a heroic death. He got to the doors of the building, and thought 'well here is the moment of truth'. He broke into a huge smile, and chuckled to himself, as the doors opened before him. He stepped inside and warm air latched onto his body like a warm hug.

"Stay where you are!" One of the two guards, who had probably thought they snuck up on him, warned from behind him. Man if they want to sneak up on someone they would have to be quieter than that, Arc thought as he turned around with a smile on his face.

"Hello there, good sir. I am here for an appointment with Mr. Ozpin," he politely said to the guard who had tried to sneak up on him. He noted the stun gun pointed at him by the guard. He also noted the other guard had an electric baton. Well at least they are armed enough to take on a common thug he surmised in his head.

"At this time of night? No, I am not buying that at all...hands where I can see them," the guard who stood directly in front of him commanded again.

"I almost forgot! I have papers right here to confirm it," he replied while mentally slapping himself for almost getting himself into a dumb situation. He then pulled a sheet of paper from the flaps of his cloak and handed it over to the guard.

The guard took the papers and looked them over and then gave them back with a slight bow to his posture. "I am sorry, Mr. Arc, for taking up your time, the headmaster's office is up those stairs over there and down the hallway a bit to the right."

"Thank you," he replied to the guard with a bow. He did not hold it against them. In all actuality he was glad the guard had been so on edge it meant that nearly nothing would catch them off guard.

He followed, the guard instructed on how to get there. A few minutes of walking and he stood in front of a oak door with light coming out from underneath the crack between it and the floor. You can do this, all you have to do is knock and report that you are back. For some reason the nervousness that had escaped him as he landed, it was finally coming to him. Maybe it was the fact that after he finished talking to Ozpin he would be once again enrolled in this academy again. For the next five months of his life before graduation hit. Or maybe it was because he was about to speak in person to someone who was there two years ago when everything had gone down here at this academy.

No there is no room to be nervous anymore if I continue to be nervous then all my personal growth and training these past few years will have been for nothing. With that determination in his thoughts, he knocked on the door to Ozpin's office.

"Come in," said a cool and calm voice he had not heard in two years. He had lost touch with everyone at Beacon Academy when Ozpin had transferred him two years ago to the special training school. The only form of contact he had with Ozpin and anyone at Beacon Academy was a week ago in the form of a letter with a date, location, and time on it for him to catch the transport ship back.

Jaune sighed and stood there in front of the door for a few more seconds trying to clear his head of any of the nervousness. Like he had told himself as he left the Bullhead there was no need to be nervous. He opened the door and stepped into Ozpin's office which looked exactly as his he remembered it. Well mostly anyways there seemed to be a few more clocks posted around the room. Ozpin looked up from the papers which he put down on his desk and he then grabbed the mug. he always had on him, and took a sip of whatever was in it.

"Welcome back Jaune, it has been awhile," Ozpin greeted him and Jaune could see a smile play across his face for a second before it disappeared only to be replaced by a neutral expression.

"Yes, it has been awhile Mr. Ozpin sir," he replied.

"You can take a seat and make yourself comfortable," Ozpin said to Jaune as he gestured to the chair in front of his desk.

"Thank you sir," Jaune said as he took a seat in front of Ozpin's desk.

"So Jaune…" Ozpin began as he put the mug back onto the table and Jaune tried to peer into the mug and saw that Ozpin had finished whatever was in the mug with the last sip.

"Yes sir?" Jaune asked as a sense of disappointment filled him; knowing that he may have lost his one and only chance to see what exactly Ozpin usually drank from the mug.

"I wanted to know if you have any doubts at all about being back here at Beacon Academy," Ozpin said

Jaune had known that subject may come up in this conversation so it did not knock him off balance as much as he thought it might. "I do have my doubts about being back at Beacon Academy sir. I mean why would I not? Considering the circumstances that lead to my departure from this academy two years ago, how could I not have doubts?"

"Then why did you come back?" Ozpin asked.

"Because the academy you sent me to right after the incident taught me to not give into doubt or personal emotion anymore, " he told Ozpin.

"Yes, the secret Greenlight Academy. It is because of the training that you received at that academy that I summoned you back here Jaune," Ozpin stated.

"I will use all my training to help you with whatever you need sir," Jaune replied and he meant it.

"I wish you could have finished your training. I did not have to pull you away from Greenlight Academy right before you were going to graduate," Ozpin apologized.

"It is fine sir, you don't have to apologize at all considering I came back on my own free will," Jaune replied. It was true considering he could have just ignored Ozpin's letter requesting him to come back to Beacon Academy. It was because he had made a vow to himself that if Vale was ever in trouble he would come back to protect it. Considering Ozpin was more or less the protector of the kingdom he knew that when he messaged Jaune to come back it had to mean Vale was in a dire situation.

"I will say this, I would have left you there. Had the situation here not been so dire," Ozpin said.

"How dire?" Jaune asked.

"The Hunters I have at my command are being run ragged with how many requests we get here for help and support. This is because the Grimm attacks on the outer colonies have become more frequent, and the White Fang has become more active and ruthless in the years you were gone," Ozpin told Jaune with a grimace on his face.

So things were worse than I thought. I am now glad that I decided to come back more than ever Jaune thought to himself. Though there was now one question nagging at me, why didn't Ozpin just use the higher level students in Beacon Academy for some of the missions? "Then I am at your full disposal."

"I am glad. With your training, you will be a huge asset in restoring peace and security to Vale," Ozpin said with a light smile playing across his face again.

"I hope I can help though I do have one question why don't you send out some of the student teams to deal with some of the requests you have?"

"I do have most of the higher level teams on requests, but the requests I need your help with are far more dangerous in nature than the ones I sent them on," Ozpin said honestly.

"Do you think that even with my training at Greenlight Academy I can do any of those requests alone though?" Jaune asked doubts of how best he would be alone working on those requests considering how dangerous some of them could be.

"Considering Greenlight Academy is a school used for teaching Hunters how survive on their own, without a team against any odds. I have an extremely high expectancy, you will be able to complete any of the missions I give you to do," Ozpin replied.

"I will try my best to live up to your expectations, sir," Jaune replied still with doubts about how long he was now going to survive alone here at Beacon, now that he was going to have to take on challenging missions due to his training. Though if Ozpin said he could do it then he why was he doubting? Usually Ozpin was right about everything.

"That is all I can ask for Jaune," Ozpin said.

"Well sir, will I be taking classes or will my last few months here be filled up with missions to do?" Jaune asked hoping that the latter would be what happens. I mean if I only had to requests then I would never really have to worry about running into any of them in a class or anything.

"You will have classes to attend between the missions I give you, considering you are still a student and have yet to graduate. So with that being said, I have already put you back into the system and your first class back here at Beacon will be tomorrow morning. That being said I will pick out a request for you to do in about a day or two. I welcome you back to Beacon, Jaune Arc," Ozpin said getting up out of his chair and extending a handshake towards Jaune.

Well this conversation went a lot better than expected, it was less awkward then I had built it up to be. In my mind he did not say any of this outloud. Instead I smiled and shook Ozpin's hand. "It is a honor to be back to help you out sir."

"May I suggest you go get some sleep so you're not exhausted for tomorrow morning's class?" Ozpin suggested to Jaune.

"I think that is probably a great idea sir. Good night sir," Jaune said with a bow and then began to walk towards the exit of Ozpin's office. As he was about to leave Ozpin's office Ozpin said something that made Jaune crack a smile.

"Also stop calling me sir there is no need to be so formal with me. Ozpin works just fine. I also almost forgot to tell you, your dorm room is two hour and eight."

Well I should probably really try and go get some sleep now. It seems I am gonna need it with how busy I will be, Jaune thought to himself as he shut door to Ozpin's office. He then pulled out his scroll and opened up a map of Beacon so he could locate where his dorm was.. So if this map is correct my dorm room is in the building to the right of the building I am currently in and on the second floor. Ah hell, that also means I have to brave the freezing cold again damn it.

Apprehensively, he went back out in the freezing cold and was assaulted anew with snow. Man, I hope it lets up by tomorrow morning so I don't have to walk in this anymore. He walked the fifty feet it took to get to the building that housed his dorm. He opened the door and, was once again, glad that it did not get locked after everyone went to sleep. As he shook the accumulated snow off he heard the guards, for this building, coming towards him. I won't almost be in the stupid situation of having to fight the guards again. With that thought, he pulled out his scroll and showed before they got super close to him. As they appeared in his vision, he handed the guard, who was closest to him, the scroll. The page indicating he was a Beacon student was shown on the screen and the guard handed him back the scroll.

Well at least this time things went more smoothly, but then the guard behind Jaune had returned the scroll spoke, and he sighed internally knowing he might have spoken to soon.

"Hey George isn't it awfully late for a student to be out right now."

"He does have a Beacon student ID on his scroll though Jim," George replied.

Great, even with a ID they still suspect me of being a person who is up to no good. Not that I can blame them considering how late it is. Though I have to say something to both of them so I can dissuade this situation from going out of control.

"I am sorry, being out this late good sirs but Headmaster Ozpin requested my presence really late, and so I went and we had a meeting. I was also just going back to my room now just as soon as I find it that is…" Jaune said.

"How do you not know where your own dorm room is?" Jim asked.

"Well, you see, I just got transferred into the room I am trying to find right now, just a few minutes ago, so that is why I do not know," Jaune replied sheepishly.

"That seems pretty suspicious to me...doesn't it seem suspicious to you George?" Jim asked George.

"Well it does sound pretty dang suspicious, but still he has a student id on him so maybe he is telling the truth," George said as he scratched his head.

"Then maybe we should detain him and bring him to the commander for questioning as to why he is really here," Jim said as he put his hand to the holster of his stun gun.

Ah crap this may get really ugly really fast, Jaune thought to himself as he prepared himself to disarm Jim. But he did not have to use any of his skills on the two guards. The one named George sighed and put up a hand to tell Jim not to do anything.

"Don't do anything rash Jim, I am gonna call this in to the commander considering he has his own post to guard by the Headmaster's office," George said.

Oh thank god Jaune thought to himself as he knew that George had just saved this situation from going way downhill.

George pulled out his communication device and radioed for the commander. "Sir, we have a strange blond haired man who seems to be posing as a student of Beacon here. He says that he went to see Opzin tonight and that is why he out here so late...Ah so he did come and speak to Ozpin then sir and you saw him yourself? Well then sorry to disturb you for nothing sir!" George then got off his device and sighed.

"So am I good now?" Jaune asked in a hopeful voice.

"Yes, you are good. It seems your story of going to Ozpin's office checks out so I am sorry that we stopped you," George said.

"I still don't trust him I think we should detain him," Jim spoke up.

"Oh shut up Jim the commander vouched for him so I don't care if you trust him or not," George told Jim.

"Ah well I know I am still on thin ice but may I ask where room two hundred and eight is?" Jaune asked quietly.

"It is down the hall and up the stairs at the end of the hall on your left," George told him as Jim just stood there eyeing him with a distrustful look.

"Thank you for the directions sir," Jaune said to George and he slipped by the two guards as fast as he could hoping to get to his room before those two guards decided to change their mind and try and fight him. He sighed as soon as he got to the end of the hallway. He could still feel Jim's glare on him even from this distance. Man I haven't even been back at Beacon for three hours and I am already making enemies oh well I should just find my room for now and hopefully I won't see those two guards ever again he thought to himself.

Now that I think about it is has been along time since I have been into any of the dorms in Beacon. The last time he had been in one it had not be for long as he was there to pack real fast then leave. That had been because he was trying to rush out of there before his old team came back from wherever they went without him. That had been one of the most stressful days of his whole life.

Jaune pushed those thoughts from his mind and tried to clear his mind of all negative thoughts that were coming up from being back at this place. He had to keep himself calm at all times and think rationally about everything or his training would have been for nothing. Though a sense of dread hit him a bit no matter how hard he tried to keep it away. It was the new thought that he could run into one of his former so called friends tomorrow during the day if he was not careful. As much as he wanted that kind of drama in his life for the last few months he did not at all. And if he remembered correctly everyone at Beacon well everyone he knew here thought he had died or so that is what Ozpin told him would be the official story.

So even if he did run into one of his old friends they would not recognize him at all considering he had grown quite a bit in the last two years. With that he was able to push down his dread just as he made it to his new dorm room. He unlocked it and entered the dorm. It was a pretty nice size with a bathroom, a desk that was by the window in the left corner of the room, a bed that sat along the wall opposite of the desk, and to finish it off was a bookcase that stood right by the desk with a meter gap in between both of them. All in all it was a better room than Jaune had at Greenlight Academy.

Jaune put his pack down upon the desk and sat his sword by the foot of his bed. After doing that he walked up to the chair and pulled it out of the desk and sat in it and looked out into the snowy covered night. He knew he should probably try to sleep right now but sleeping through the flight from Greenlight to Beacon had messed his internal clock up. His thoughts soon drifted off to when he thought of a time when he had been too trusting of others and naive on how the world worked. He remembered all the fun times he had when he was the leader of team JNPR, and the adventures him and his team would share with team RWBY.

Jaune shook himself out of his thoughts, maybe it was not such a good idea to take up Ozpin's offer to come back here after all. Maybe I should have stayed and finished my training at Greenlight Academy. Being back here only brings up memories that I don't want to think about he thought to himself.

Too late for regrets now. Though, I came back and I will just have to live with that fact. Plus, now that I am back I can finally test myself against those who messed with my life.

Jaune got up out of the chair and went and pulled out his blade. Which he forged during his days at Greenlight Academy. He unfolded his shield into its full glory and aimed the tip of the shield at his desk and fired a dust bullet into it. He had remade both his weapons when he had arrived at Greenlight Academy, considering he had left his old weapons behind to make his death story more believable.

He had used blueprints he and Ruby had come up with together to make the shield/gun and the blade he forged. Not having a weapon for the month it, took to create both weapons had been stressful. Thankfully the Headmaster of Greenlight had understood what he had to do with his old weapons so he gave him full access and use of both the forge they had there, and the full use of the weapon workplace. He also handed him over to a master weapon's maker who had been invaluable in helping Jaune forge and make his new weapons.

Greenlight Academy had a lot of weird features to it. Like it having a forge, and a workplace to build weapons. Then again it was an Academy build for the sole purpose to build superior Hunters. Thus, if need be and a Hunter lost his weapon he would have to know how to make a new one or not be a Hunter anymore. Then again the Headmaster had told him also that both places were out of date; the only reason they were kept around was to keep the Professor, who was also a weapon making master, happy. It didn't really matter in the end because since they had both those things there Jaune had created a weapon set that he could call completely his own.

Jaune took up his battle stance and worked his way through technique after technique. His blade whipping through the air at super fast speeds. Sweat started trickling down his body as he continued his practice hoping that the physical activity would allow him to finally be able to sleep considering he had his classes for Beacon Academy to attend in the morning. He finally stopped after going through all his basic techniques he had learned while attending Greenlight Academy.

Fatigue was finally starting to settle over Jaune as he put his weapons away, undressed and got ready for bed. He fell on his bed and opened up his Scroll and checked what class he had first. Battle tactics with Glynda Goodwitch. Ah man, well oh well hopefully he would not have that class with anyone he used to know when he first went to Beacon Academy. With that thought Jaune put his Scroll on the nightstand by his bed and fell asleep.
