My name is Jaune Arc, one minute I'm excited about finding out I'm going to Beacon to become a proper huntsman like my kin, the next I'm holding my young sister to my chest crying my eyes out in the freezing rain that started pouring down making the scene cliché. And the last words my sister uttered to me were that she was proud of me for following my dreams. What good are dreams when you have no one to share them with. So here I am now standing on a rooftop overlooking Vale with a scowl on my face as I look for those who took my sister's life from her and us, but to do that I need to be something more than I am, someone more than I am.
Jaune was tossing and turning in his bed as he relived something he didn't want to. It was when Jaune had gotten his acceptance letter to Beacon. He was walking on cloud 9 as he headed for his favourite cafe that he goes to a lot with his older sisters and Rouge, today he was going to celebrate that he got into Beacon, by using fake transcripts. Nothing could knock the winds out of his sails; until he saw her Rouge Arc his sixteen year old sister slumped against the wall barely moving and looking like death.
"ROUGE!" Jaune shouted running over to her. Skidding the last couple of feet pulling Rouge into his arms
"Jaunney?" Rouge asked as her sapphire blue eyes tried to focus "Is that you?" she asked
"Yeah I am, it's me" Jaune started to get teary eyed as his sister's eyes started close
"Rouge, no pleas Rouge open your eyes please"
"ROUGE!" Jaune shouted sitting up in bed scared after the bad memory of the event that drove him to become his shadowy persona in his second yea to try and find out her killed his sister. Laying back down thinking about how he's activities as a vigilante; from the forging of Noire Chevalier and the creating of his uniform for the tunic poncho and the voice masker to hide his identity.
"Jaune, you okay man?" Ren asked waking up as well slicking his hair back
"Yeah, just a nightmare" Jaune said still shaken up about the memory of his sister's death.
"WAKE UP YOU TWO, IT'S A SPECIAL DAY" Nora shouted
"What's going on?" Jaune asked getting up
"the second years are going to be fight third and fourth year teams" Nora said
"Really who are we up against"
"We're going to met them in the courtyard with team RWBY" Nora said
"Wait there's two second year teams against a third and fourth year team?" Ren asked entering the bathroom to get change into his day clothes.
"That's right RWBY get the third years first before us, but we get the fourth years" Nora said
"Really do you have the team names?" Ren asked grabbing Stormflower from the dorm's workbench. Teams RWBY and JNPR were the only student dorms with weapon workbenchs, tehy were able to fold up and be put in storage.
"So where do we meet them?" Jaune asked pulling on his black hoodie before grabbing his armour
"The courtyard" Nora said "I said that before"
"Okay, come on" Ren said ruffling Nora's hair.
"Ren" she puffed her cheeks in annoyance.
Out in the courtyard team RWBY and Pyrrha were waiting for them
"Its about time you guys got here" Ruby said waving to them
"So who do we have?" Ren asked
"Teams VRDN and BLNC (Viridian and Balance)" Weiss said "And can we hurry up I have some business to take care of"
"Assassin's Creed" Yang 'coughed'
"Why do I know those names?" Jaune wondered as Goodwitch walked over with eight hunters, three of them Jaune knew like the back of his hand making him freak out and hide in teh nearby bushes before the two teams reached their goals.
"Teams VRDN and BLNC meet teams RWBY and JNPR, they'll be your opponents; where is the leader of Juniper?" Goodwitch asked
"He's busy with something important" Ren said looking bored.
"Very well" Goodwitch said "And now onto your oppnents: Team RWBY: Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao long meet Team BLNC: Blanc Arc, Lilac Rivers, Noire Arc, Crystal Rivers" Goodwicth said making RWBY and JNPR shocked that team BLNC had two of Jaune's sisters
"That's right we two of the famous Arc children" Noire said flicking back her raven hair out of her eyes, she wore a short black v-neck dress with the skirt longer on the right with white combat pants and black boots with elbow length fingerless glove which were white with a black stripe.
"It's such a drag being some famous" Blanc said looking like Noire only have the skirt longer on the left and an inverted colour scheme.
"And I'm Verde Arc, the leader of Team VRDN, and these are my team mates: Red Duster, Dark Solange, Nadeshiko Yamato" Verde said pointing to her team she lead.
"We're JNPR; Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren and I'm Pyrrha Nikos. And like Ren said our team leader is dealing with something" Pyrrha said
"He woke up from a nightmare this morning" Ren said
"What kind of nightmare?" Verde asked
"The bushes" Dark said creepily pointing to the bush Jaune dove into
"Really?" Verde asked grabbing her weapon a long spear she carries with her and lightly jabs in the bush
"YEOUCH" Jaune shouts jumping from his hiding place
"Told you" Dark said bowing his head,
"That hurts" Jaune said rubbing his backside
"Jaune is that really you?" Verde asked she and the twins were in shock
"Yeah it is, how's it going guys?"
"JAUNE" the three girls shouted hugging their younger brother crying
"Why are you guys crying?" Jaune asked.
"Because we haven't seen you in ages" Blanc said happily
"Even though you were right under our noses the whole time, how did you even get into Beacon" Noire said
"i'm sure that can be discussed at another time, just like the fights can be postponed, after all it isn't every day we reunite like this" Verde said smiling.
"Okay Jaune, now tell me how did you get into Beacon, consider you went to civilian schools?" Verde asked as she and Jaune walked around Beacon while the other went to the Combat Hall, but Verde and Jaune took the long way around
"Okay so I used Bleu's transcripts as a template and copied it only putting in my information instead of her's"
"Then its a good thing she went to Haven instead of Beacon! Seriously what were you thinking!" Verde said
"That I wanted to be one of our family's greatest warriors. Instead I got sent to the civilian schools while you four went off to be trained as Huntresses" Jaune said
"Jaune, please tell me this have nothing to do with Rouge's death; please tell me it doesn't" Verde
"It doesn't" Jauen said 'something else does'
"Alright, look I know you didn't get in here 'legally' but if your still here then that means you can handle it" Verde said hugging Jaune
"Thanks sis" Jaune said.
That Night when everyone was in their dorms, Jaune snuck out to his locker in the student armoury and changed into his Vigilante attire and grabbed his bow and Noire Chevalier sneaking out into the garage he uncover his vehicle: Night Ghost and took off into the night sky unaware that Ren had followed him to see what he was doing all this time
"Did you know about this?" Verde asked walking out of the shadows
"This is the first time I know about it" Ren said "You mad?"
"No I'm worried, plus I know where this came from. But I'm not going to tell you until Jaune comes to you" Verde said walking "Goodnight Lie Ren"
"Goodnight Verde" Ren nodded
The Night the vigilante went over to a ware house and went into it via the roof window looking at a drug deal
'It must be a deal for Spark. the new designer narcotic made using electric dust and an older drug called Starlight. The doctor that looked over Rouge's autopsy said that she had minute amounts of it in her system. I have a feeling that someone pumped it into her bloodstream to make her docile while they applied the real cause of death, and that there is Duke Highton a former scientist at Schnee Pharmaceuticals, a branch of the Schnee Dust Company' Jaune analysed the situation
"Duke Highton! You have failed this Kingdom!" he shouted drawing an ice dust tipped arrow and shot it at the drugs freezing it in a solid block of ice
"Shit he's here" Duke said dashing off
"Where are you, you snake?" the Vigilante said walking off to find his prey
