Alright time for chapter 2 of A Knight's New Fight. I hope you all enjoy this one. I do not own RWBY. If anyone has an idea on how Jaune can use Time Manipulation feel free to share it.

Chapter 2- Arrival at Vale and Reunions.

Jaune's POV

It's been a month since I got shot back in time and I've just arrived at Vale, it took less time than I thought since I was able to use Pecus's semblance to speed myself up. I've been delving into what I can do with Time Manipulation and it scares me slightly. I tapped into the… flow of time I guess and felt so much power, but I nearly got dragged in and I'd rather never find out what happens if I do. I've gotten to the level of physical strength I had before I died which isn't too bad, now I'm looking for a job to tide me over. The last time I just found an abandoned building to hunker down in and raided the grocery store's garbage, such waste. I found perfectly good food that was only a day past the sale-by date. I'm currently on a bench reading the help wanted ads in a newspaper a man was done reading.

"Hey human, that one offers room and board and it's perfect for you." Looking at the one Pecus seems to be indicating I read it to find it looks like the best option. A club called Junior's needs workers to help with repairs and to provide additional security, I can easily fix the place with Pecus' semblance Grabbing my knapsack I grab a map for tourists out of it and use it to try and find the address listed. "You might want to pick up the pace human, that position might be filled quickly." Pecus has a point. Focusing on his Semblance I accelerate myself through time and what looks like walking to me is Ruby speed to others, what is an hour of walking to me is a few minutes to others. I'm surprised no-one else is at the club when I arrive, you would think more people would want this job. Upon walking into the club I can see just how badly repairs are needed, it looks like a bomb went off in here.

"HELLO, I'M HERE ABOUT THE JOB!" a gruff voice answers a minute later. "I hear you, give me a minute." A few minutes later a hulking man walks out of the side a hallway and makes his way over to me, I recognize this man though. "Hei?" I look of recognition appears on his face. "Jaune?" Hei owned a bar at my "hometown". One of the few people there that wasn't an asshole he would let me stay with him sometimes and would feed me when he could. I was friends with his two nieces as well, he took them in when their parents died in a fire. They moved out of town when I was nine, a few months before I got grabbed by those scientists, after their place was burned down because they helped me out. That left a lasting impression on what happened to people who helped me. Let's just say some harsh words between the two of us, mostly him to me, were exchanged before they left and leave it at that.

"Sorry didn't realize this was your place, I'll go now." I turn to leave only to stop when I feel his hand on my shoulder. "And where do you think you're going kid? I got a lot to make up for now." My eyes widen and I turn to see the man looking at me with a regret in his eyes. "I said a lot of crap I shouldn't have to you when we left. I shouldn't have blamed you for what happened, hell once the girls found out what I had done they tore me a new one. I came back about six months later only to find no trace of you, and I looked in all the spots I knew you would hide out in. Mind explaining where you were." I'd rather never let people find out about Pecus.

"Let's just say it was no vacation and leave it at that." Hei looks like he wants to question me further but lets it go. "So what happened here?" Hei seems glad to move off topic and answers with a lot of controlled anger in her voice. "First call me Junior, it's what I go by now, second a blonde broad tore this place up, put most of my men in the hospital, and injured the girls. I swear if I ever see that brawler again…" Wait… blonde brawler? Oh please tell me Yang didn't do this. "You don't honestly believe there's a chance she didn't do this do you?" Honestly no I don't. "Well I can fix this place up for you." A look of surprise appears on his face. "And how can you fix this place up by yourself?" oh I can't wait to see the look on his face. Using Pecus's semblance I start to rewind the damage done. Pieces of rubble fly back into place while the crater in the dance floor fills in. A few minutes later and all the damage is gone and the place looks good as new. That was quite draining on me though, haven't done something that big before.

"I'll take my room and board now, I could really use a nap after that." He…Junior just nods with a shocked look on his face, leading me to a room in the upper floor I collapse on the bed and conk out. When I wake up I make my way to the bar area and find Junior talking to two girls, one dressed in white with long hair and the other in red with short hair. They turn to me when Junior signals me over, once I see their faces I can confirm they're the Malachite twins. "Good to see you're awake Jaune." I nod in response to Junior and focus on the twins. "Nice to see the two of you after so long." Melanie nods before sending a sharp look at Junior.

"We wouldn't have been separated if someone brought you with us." Milita sends a smile my way. "At least you look well Jaune and you matured pretty well. I don't think we can stick you in our clothes anymore." Right that was their favorite thing to do with me, stick me in their clothes and have a tea-party. Ignoring Pecus's laughter I respond with a smile of my own. "I'm not the only one to mature, you two must turn quite a few heads." A blush settles on both their faces and Junior smirks at them. "Well would you look at that he thinks you look…" I don't learn what he wants to say as Milita has some claws pointed at his face while Melanie is pointing a bladed heel at his crouch. They then speak in sync.

"Uncle, shut up." Junior pales and wisely shuts up. I then decide to broach the reason I came here in the first place. "So I know I fixed the place up but I need a place to stay for a month so is the security positon still open?" The twins are glaring at Junior but he waves them off. "Calm down girls, of course I was going to offer him the job. But why a month? You can stay as long as you want." I'm touched by the offer. "I've been given a chance to get into Beacon." All three's jaws drop at that. "Um no offense Jaune but how did you gain that chance." Because Ozpin wants to keep an eye on me but I can't tell them that. "Don't worry Mel I'm not offended. To be honest I don't know but I'm not going to turn this chance down." This time Miltia is the one to question me. "Um Jaune, where did you get that weapon?" I draw Crocea Mors and hold it diagonally in front of me.

"This is Crocea Mors, my grandfather's blade. I stole it from the Arc's while they were out. They didn't even have a security system to worry about." To be fair only an idiot would steal from the Arcs but I never claimed to be a genius. Junior laughs at that. "Oh boy, that's a good one. Now let's talk about salary." Same Junior, always trying to make a deal. I hope this doesn't change anything too much from the original timeline.

Time skip- two weeks

It's been two weeks since I started working at Junior's and so far things have gone well. I don't know the full extent of Junior's darker dealings but I could care less, his connections could come in handy later on. I've hung out with the twins during our off-hours to make up for lost time, it's been fun acting like a normal teen with them. Work's been peaceful, well as peaceful as working at a nightclub can be. I've had to deal with a few drunks and drug peddlers, one of the things that ticks Junior off, but nothing major so far. I've kept up my training so far, I wouldn't say my swordsmanship has progressed but I've kept the level I already had. Miltia and Melanie are good sparing partners and are willing to help me practice Time Manipulation. I can now stop time for a minute but its draining, even with the combined reserves of me and Pecus it takes about 40% of our aura for a single minute of stopped time, and I can't breathe during that time so it's not something I'll use often for now. Currently the twins and I are coming back from a movie and when we come in Junior is having an argument with Torchwick.

"Now you listen here Torchwick, I loaned you those men and they're in jail because of you. I expect you to pay for them and for you to not come back for a long time." So this was the aftermath of Ruby beating those guys Torchwick had with him the first time they fought. "You know I kinda wonder what happened to him in our original timeline." I agree with Pecus there but put those thoughts to the side when Torchwick starts talking. "Now, now Junior. I know you don't want anything to happen to those girls of yours now don't you. It be a shame if something happened to them." Rage fills Junior's face but I beat him to the punch literally. I accelerate myself through time and send Roman to the ground with a punch to the jaw. "I really don't like people who threaten my friends, want to correct your statement?" Torchwick looks at me with amusement. "Not really. Neo if you will." Roman's ice-cream colored subordinate appears behind me and places her blade to my throat. I can see from the corner of my eye Junior and the twins have their weapons but aren't willing to make a move with me in this situation. Torchwick stands up and dusts himself off.

"Now then make a move and Blondie here gets his throat cut." Heh, like I said it's draining but I can still stop time. With time stopped the world loses color (like bravely second from the Bravely series) and I take Neo's blade away, put it to her throat, put Crocea Mors to Roman's throat, and put enough pressure to just slightly cut them. When time restarts Roman is shocked to find a blade at his throat and Neo in the same position. "Now what was that about Blondie getting his throat cut?" Roman growls at me but stops when I push a little more and blood starts flowing. "Pay Junior and leave or die. I really don't care which you chose." Roman glares at me some more before reaching into his pocket and tossing a handful of Lien at Junior.

"Fine but I'm not paying the full price after how badly your boys failed." Junior shifts his bat into bazooka mode and points it at Roman. "Fine, just get out." Roman steps back away from my blade and makes for the exit. "Come on Neo." I move Neo's blade back from her throat and toss it to her while pointing my blade at her. She moves to leave but stops and then turns to me. Pulling out a piece of paper she scribbles something on it and puts it in my hand before winking at me and acting like she's talking on a phone before leaving. Looking at the paper I see she's left me her scroll number. "How did you accomplish this human?" I'm stunned myself. "If you figure it out tell me Pecus." I know Pyrrha was interested in me, and I was too cowardly to make a move, but how on Remnant did I gain the interest of that girl of all people. I'm brought out of my thoughts by Junior's laughter.

"Looks like you two have some competition girls." The twins share a look and then walk toward Junior with their weaponry still ready. Noticing his predicament Junior tries to calm them down. "Hey… Come on now. Just a joke." Seeing his attempts aren't working he makes a run for it with the twins chasing after him. They run out of my sight but I can tell the twins caught him by the cries of pain. I then head to the kitchen and start making dinner for the four of us, Junior's been teaching me some things so hopefully this won't turn out too badly. "One, if you managed to mess up canned soup you're hopeless. Two, why didn't you kill Torchwick and the midget before they can do anything?" I expected Pecus to ask that question at some point.

"The thought crossed my mind but that would be reckless. Killing them would cause Cinder to change her plans, for now we can rely on our past for a guideline but we can't change too much or we lose that. Now I have a question of my own, should we tell Ozpin about all this?" Pecus is silent for a while as I stir the soup. A few minutes pass before he answers. " Ozpin's smart so he'll probably figure something is up with us and I could see him trying to take us out if he thought I took control of your body, at the same time do we want to risk him doing something that could change the way things went too much. It's a gamble and one we'll have to decide on soon." He's right, I trust Ozpin but what if we lose the guideline of our past Cinder could do something much worse. Shaking my head I focus back on dinner, soup and grilled cheese. I call the others in and Junior limps in while the girls follow in, I've enjoyed staying with these three. It brings back a few good childhood memories back, although I don't ever want to have to play dress-up with the twins again.

Time skip- Day of Beacon arrival

What the hell.

I'm currently in bed with Miltia holding onto one arm and Melanie holding onto the other. Pecus is laughing in my head which just makes a headache I have even worse. "For the love of Oum stop laughing. Now what happened?" I'm extremely glad the three of us are still in our underwear at least, doesn't stop me from blushing so hard I can feel my cheeks burn. "We learned that you shouldn't drink human, that's what." Oh right, Junior insisted that we celebrate me going to Beacon by breaking out some of his private stock, his men really loved that. I had befriended most of the one who got out of the hospital a few days after the Torchwick incident. I objected saying I was too young to drink but Junior wouldn't let it go saying that since I was going to fight Grimm I might as well. Since he wouldn't let it go I tried a drink and it was much stronger than I thought it was, everything after that is missing from my memory.

"Ugg what happened." Melanie wakes up and Miltia soon follows. They blink and I put one hand over my crouch and the other over my face. "I DID NOTHING!" I prepare myself for a rain of blows only for nothing to happen, moving my hand from my face I see that both of their faces are redder then Ruby's cloak but Melanie has a scowl on her face. "Oh are you saying we're not good enough for you?" Miltia eyes are starting to water. "Are we ugly to you Jaune?" I'm going to die again, I just know I am. "What! No of course not, it's just…" I stop my babbling when they burst out laughing. "You're both screwing with me aren't you?" Miltia wipes away her crocodile tears and stops laughing long enough to answer me. "Yah, Junior always brings out that stuff for a celebration and no-one can ever keep their senses after having it. We had to drag you up to bed after you drank it and passed out, once we had you in bed we thought it be funny to see how you reacted in the morning." Pecus just starts laughing at me once more.

After getting over the fact my friends did such a prank on me I get a shower and then dressed I pack my stuff and meet Junior and the twins in the lobby. "It's been good to see you guys again but I've got to head for the airships now." Junior holds his hand out to me and I shake it. "You had better come back here Jaune, I'm going to want to hear about what you've been up to." I promise I will and the twins approach me. Mel goes first. "Hate to see you go but we can't keep you here and Junior's right you had better come back…" Miltia takes over after that. "So to make sure that happens we have something for you for luck." The twins each kiss one of my cheeks and I blush once again. "Dang human, now I have to raise the count up." I leave that for later as I thank them once more and then head out to get to the air docks. "What did you mean by the count?" Pecus speaks in a tone filled with humor. "The count of girls with an interest in you. Currently you're at eight." I nearly trip over myself when I hear that. "Eight!? I know about Pyrrha, still need to figure what to do about that, and Neo did give me her number but eight." Pecus refuses to speak anymore and we soon arrive at the air docks. We are now faced with my greatest enemy, worse than even Cinder.

Air travel.
