Yo! How you all liking this? I have some votes for Weiss x Jaune, but I want your opinions on the pairing. I never tried a pairing with Weiss, but if you all want it, I'll give it a go! I have a few for Weiss, another couple for Blake. Keep 'em rolling!
Jaune woke up, cracking his back as he did so. Looking around, the early birds were rising, some chatting and others just trying to keep their eyes open. Then there was Nora being...well, Nora. She was practically vibrating and acting as if it wasn't early morning, yelling and Ren to get up and something about pancakes. Jaune was too tired to try and listen.
Walking like a zombie from mortal films, Jaune made his way to the locker rooms, where a cute Pyrrha in sleepwear was getting prepared as well.
"Morning Pyrrha. Got to say, your choice of pyjamas is quite adorable for a champion." Pyrrha couldn't hide the blush that took her face and neck. "T-t-thanks."
Opening his locker, Jaune took out his armor/gauntlets/boots. Placing them on, he felt the whir of the mechanics as the orange metal settled on his limbs. Using some telekinesis, Jaune activated his armor.
Pyrrha watched in awe as the metal armor slid out and spread across his body, round plates at the limbs spinning and locking the plates in place, his helmet forming over his head in a spread of small squares and folds, the armor spread like origami.
Now fully armored, Jaune put on his duster anf hat, placing several vials and potions on his belt. Placing BAI (his sniper) on his back, he took out his other weapons, placing the knives in several places in his waist and legs, putting his Crocea Mors katana on his back with his revolver, Luck, in his holster on his leg, his pistol/short sword on his other leg, and placing some grenades and small scry stones in pouches and packs on his belt and lower body.
He was done preparing by the time Pyrrha got into her armor. Taking his Stryder (flying broomstick) with him, Pyrrha looking in more awe at the ebony feathers, he took off for the cliff.
Jaune was the first one there, taking his place on a square pad in the ground. "Hello Mr. Ozpin, Mrs. Glynda." He gave a polite nod to Ozpin and a polite bow to Glynda. "Hello Mr Arc. I hope I'm not rushing you or anything here, but what if I could propose a teaching job here?"
Jaune was confused, "Sir, are you asking me to be a teacher?"
"Yes I am Mr Arc. You see, not many places would bother letting a witch work for them, no matter how beneficial they could be. And the money I gave you won't last forever. Seeing as you will be the only mage here, I was thinking you might take the job to teach in the arcane arts."
Jaune instantly brightened. Mortals wanting to learn his brethren' ways! Amazing!
"I will take it sir. But I have a few conditions."
"Of course." Ozpin nodded and Glynda was preparing her Scroll to write down the requirements. "I will need a room where I can teach alchemy and I can practice my scrying, hopefully in the same area. I would also like to be able to teach in any way I can, no way will I not take this opportunity and not be given what I need."
"Of course Mr Arc. We do have an extra room that we will set up with some of the best ingredients and objects you need. Just write down what you need and we will be all set."
Using his telekinesis, Jaune wrote down what he needed on Glynda's Scroll.
"Thank you Mr Arc. Now the other students are showing up, best to be prepared."
Jaune held onto his Stryder, holding Luck in his free hand. One by one, students filled the squares, all looking at Jaune. Most in disgust, some in curiosity, others in awe.
"Today is the day you take your first steps as hunters and huntresses. You will prove your worth today by landing in the Emerald Forest and clearing out all the Grimm in the area. I will also explain the rumors of partnering. Once you land, you will be given your partner."
Ruby, *Whimper*
"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with will be your partner for the next four years."
Ruby, "WHAT?!"
"Relics will be at the ruins to the north. Make sure to fight to your best or you will die. Good luck." And with that, the launch pads began to fire student after students. Jaune was last to go as a nervous and excited Ruby flew past his head. Suddenly, he was in the air. Now, he was gliding down, his duster trailing behind him in the wind, his hat making jerks and ripples from the oncoming ground.
Flipping, Jaune used his practiced grace and agility to flip, jump, roll and land off of several trees, using the suction glyph on his boots to hold him still. Standing up, Jaune pulled out Luck and began walking forward.
Only to meet several Beowolves.
Smiling psychotically, Jaune cocked his weapon.
Pyrrha spotted her target through the iron sights of her rifle. He was flying through the air and she was about to throw her spear and nail him to a tree. Don't ask why. She just thought of it as appropriate.
She was about to change her rifle to spear, but the golden haired witch began to flip and landed on a jutting tree branch with incredible agility and flexibility. Smiling, Pyrrha made her way over to Jaune.
Just as she reached the trees, she heard gunshots and smelled the smoke and discharge. Running, she was greeted with an incredible sight: Jaune Arc was spinning in a full three sixty turn, firing his gun to an imaginary beat that popped up in Pyrrha's head. His massive gun fired several large bullets that ate through the Beowolf hides like butter.
One wolf made it past the bullets, only to be shredded by a short sword, which then turned into a pistol and the boy continued killing the rest. For a good ten seconds, there were Beowolves. After that, dissipating corpses.
Pyrrha was impressed, her partner seemed capable enough. Walking into the clearing, she was met with a blade at her jugular.
Jaune stared at the red head in shock, but the quickly retracted his short sword. Mumbling an apology, Jaune used his Spirit of Remnant magic briefly to scan for any nearby threats. None for a good mile.
"So Pyrrha, I guess this means were partners, huh?" he said awkwardly. Pyrrha was busy trying not to ogle Jaune. In the light, he looked incredible. The way the wind caught his duster, making the tipped ends flutter in front of him, his hand on his hat rim to keep it up, the way the sun caught off of his armor. He was beautiful.
"Pyrrha." She was knocked out of her ogling by Jaune waving his hand in her face, making her blush brighter than her hair. "S-s-sorry."
Jaune smiled. "Let's go!"
A Few Moments Later~
"Think the relics are in here?"
"Probably not Pyr, look at the symbols on the walls. There's something big in here." Jaune was indicating to the cave paintings of several groups of people fighting and being defeated by a giant scorpion.
"Guess so. Let's go then." Just as they left, the cave entrance exploded and a giant of all Death Stalkers emerged, hissing and clacking its claws angrily.
"Run?" Jaune asked, calm. "Yeah." And with that, they bolted, Jaune picked Pyrrha up bridal style and hopped on his Stryder, using BAI to take pot shots at the scorpion as he dodged trees and rocks. Soon enough, they met up at the relics, a familiar blonde woman and black clad girl talking.
Stopping suddenly, Pyrrha was thrown into Jaune's back, surprised as even though he had such a thin and slightly muscular frame, he didn't even flinch as her body hit his.
"Hey guys." Jaune said, acting as if he didn;t even feel Pyrrha slam into him at over twenty miles an hour. Yang and Blake could only watch as Pyrrha stumbled off, while Jaune was walking on the thin stick portion with the balls of his feet, perfect agility and poise on the thin stick.
ROOOAAARRR!
Taking up fighting stances at the roar that stopped any conversation, a giant Ursa came charging through the trees, then dropping dead.
"Aw~ I broke it~" A familiar orange haired girl and her ever quiet shadow came stumbling through, Nora appearing at the Rooks, singing "I'm queen of the castle~ I'm queen of the castle~"
"NORA!" her partner was slightly green and panting heavily.
"Coming Ren~" she sang, skipping to her heaving friend, who she is not "together-together" with.
"So~ Nora do this often?" Jaune asked, not even perturbed at the entrance. "Yeah. A lot." Ren was tired and didn't look so hot, then Nora appeared and crushed him in a hug.
"HEADS UP~!" A familiar voice cut through the warm conversation about pancakes and ponies, making everyone look up. "RUBY!?" Yang yelled. Jaune sighed, summoning a speed glyph onto his feet and running up a tree at mach-5, appearing next to Ruby, then landing in a crater next to the others with a knee bent down, looking like a bad-ass.
"T-thanks Jaune." Ruby was slightly dizzy, Yang's bone crushing hug didn't help her either. "HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME!?" Another familiar scream cut through the air, Weiss was dangling from the talons of a Nevermore Alpha.
"I told you to jump!"
"She's gonna fall." Ren stated.
"She'll be fine~!" Ruby tried to convince the others.
"She's falling." Ren deadpanned. Jaune groaned and caught Weiss the same way with Ruby, startling Weiss as his sky blue visor filled her vision. Landing with another crater, Yang shouted "Can we go 2 seconds without something crazy happening!?" her hair lit up, after two quiet seconds, the Death Stalker let out a screech, at least fifty other Death Stalkers behind it, and the Nevermore was circling the group.
"You had to jinx us, Yang." Jaune stated. Everyone took defensive stances, Jaune was just cleaning a leaf off of his gauntlets, not at all caring for the Grimm in front of him.
"*Sigh* Let me deal with this." A orange fire glyph of duel axes appeared brightly on his forehead, Weiss paled even more, pretty much shaking away from Jaune.
"Uh~ Weiss? What's the big deal?" Ruby asked. Jaune was eerily quiet. Weiss was trembling, "T-t-that's B-b-berserker!" Everyone paled as Jaune let out a gutteral and primal growl, finally looking up and revealing his blood red eyes, black slits replaced his pupils.
Walking slowly, almost hypnotically, he unsheathed Wind and Crocea Mors, dual wielding the blades, both of them turning crimson red. With a evil chuckle, Jaune ran.
Towards the Death Stalkers.
With one slash of Crocea Mors, the first scorpion turned into hunks of meat, Jaune in the center of its used-to-be body.
grinning, Jaune held Wind in a reverse grip, jumping onto the next scorpion and ramming it straight through the heavy bone, like Ruby's scythe through butter.
Start: Get Outta Your Mid-Lil Jon.
With jerky movements, the next Death Stalker found itself impaled to the ground by spears of Aura, the blades were pulling, ripping it slowly apart until the sounds of cracking rips were heard, and the Death Stalker was ripped clean in half.
The next three were lit on fire from the inside by three Fire Arrows, the next was impaled with hundreds of holes from Ice Spikes, the next two were crushed under their own weight by Gravity Distortion, the next one was ripped to ribbons by Jaune's hands.
The rest saw Jaune as a huge threat, trying to run. But Jaune didn't allow that. With a bright green rope of pure magic coming from his hand, Jaune grabbed one by the tail and began to spin, literally spin it in the air, using its own bulk to crush the others. After crushing the rest, Jaune used his ropes to slowly rip apart the one he used as a weapon.
The others could only watch.
And try not to puke.
The Nevermore cawed loudly, grabbing the team's attention.
Jaune simply uttered a word as his Berserker glyph faded, "Inferno~"
Suddenly, an extreme heat invaded the teens, only for them to be completely slack jawed. Jaune was a living FLAME!
His body was encased in pure flame, black horns of ash curling from his hands as his hands doubled in size and his body doubled in size. Pure flaming wings jutted out, six in total.
He had a dangerous beauty to him. It was entrancing.
With a roar, Jaune summoned several glyphs of pure flame under his feet, lifting him into the air as his wings molded into two, at least the length of the Nevermore, if bigger.
With a evil smirk and dangerous growl, Jaune let loose volley after volley of pure flame balls and bolts into the Nevermore, who could only scream in agony as it didn't have time to evade.
With several large spears of flame swirling, Jaune used his wind magic to increase it until he couldn;t hold them anymore, each spear twice his height and thickness. Launching them, the Nevermore was ripped into two pieces, then exploding as the spears made contact.
The stench of burning and decay filled the air.
With a sigh, Jaune returned to being human, not a single part of his body or clothing damaged.
Too Ozpin, Glynda, Ironwood, and the entire Council, they had to try not to puke and close their mouths. Glynda whimpered slightly.
"Jaune Arc, Nora Valkry, Pyrrha Nikos, Lie Ren. You collected the white rook pieces, you will form team JNPR. Led by...Jaune Arc!" A round of applause filled the auditorium as Jaune was lightly punched on the arm by Pyrrha in excitement, only for Pyrrha to whine in slight pain as his shoulder was super hard and very hot. It actually left a small welt.
"Sorry Pyrrha, Inferno makes my body over three hundred degrees while I'm cooling down." Pyrrha was trying not to look scared. This was her partner after all.
Team RWBY was made as Jaune tuned them out, focusing his magic to cool his body back to normal heat. Apparently, RWBY is his sister team, led by Ruby. Who knew?
Both Jaune and Ozpin had the same thought, "This will be an interesting year."
Soo~. Let me know who to pair up who with who! Please with sprinkles on top!
