Author's Notes: I do not own Fate/Stay Night or Fate/Grand Order nor do I own RWBY
"You sure are on your last legs, Jaune Arc. what will you do now? The unknown figure said as he tossed Jaune through a window, the feeling of glass shatter against his back and digging into his skin causing him to yelp in pain. He continued to walk towards him without a care in the world as if the battle has already ended.
"Have you run out of you tricks Jaune? Because if so, well, THEN I SUPPOSE YOU'LL HAVE TO DIE!" the blurred figure said as he stared at the pitiful shape of his opponent.
'Grr, my right arm is broken, I have three bullets left in the chamber. Three shots to make it count!' Jaune quickly planned as death seemed to be inching closer and closer.
As Jaune aimed his gun, time seemed to all but stop before the world seemed to shatter into tiny glass particles all around, shocking he boy awake.
"Whoa, that was one weird dream. I really need to get some more sleep." he mumbled as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. 'Getting everything ready for my departure sure took a lot of energy but whatever. Now I'm in a floating metal contraception on my way to a world-renowned school that produces some of the best hunters and huntresses around, so I guess I can relax and get a bit more shuteye before we land.' he thought as he relaxed in his seat.
As Jaune was about to go back to sleep a loud conversation started between two women nearby, making him open up an eye to look. The two girls looked nothing alike but acted as if as close as siblings, hugging and giggling around.
Sighing to himself and with nothing better so he decided to eavesdrop on their conversation, making sure to close both his eyes to look truly asleep.
"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" the blonde said as she went to hug her apparently little sister. 'Adopted are Really weird Genes?' Jaune pondered as he listened on.
"Please stop."
"But I'm so proud of you!"
"Really, sis, it was nothing."
"What, do you mean it was incredible!"
"Everyone at Beacon will think you are the bee's knees"
At this point, Jaune was disinterested in what they were talking about and decided he was just going to move to a different part of the metal machine thingy until he overheard a noticeable point of interest come from the little gothic lolita.
"I got moved ahead two years."
'Two years huh, she must be some sort of prodigy better keep an eye out for her then.' He quickly dedicated her image into his memory. It would do for him to forget such a potential sparring partner, a good duel against a prodigy is always a nice opportunity.
His thoughts were quickly interrupted by a PSA stating to keep a lookout for the wanted criminal named Roman Torchwick. Followed by an update on the Faunus civil right rally which was disrupted by the white fang. Shaking his head at the news, Jaune mused that, in his opinion, though turning to violence is not going to earn you the mercy of aid with the general public, something that will only cause a further rift between the humans and the Faunus populations as things escalate.
But soon the news broadcast was interrupted by a stern blond huntress.
"Hello, and welcome to Beacon! My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who received the honor of being selected to attend this Prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace and prosperity and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and training to protect this world."
The students clamored and whispered about the announcement while Jaune was sitting in the back groaning at how sleepy he is and how loud the crowd was, tipping back his hat to block the sun.
About five minutes after the announcement, Jaune began to lay down on one the many benches at Beacon. He just wanted to get orientation over with, maybe ditch it or perhaps enter in later. no one will notice one kid missing after all, but before he could fall asleep a loud explosion brought Jaune back to his senses, causing him to groggily leap to his feet and walk towards the scene of the explosion, grumbling again about how people keep disturbing his peace.
As Jaune walked his way towards the site of the explosion he saw the girl from earlier trying to apologize to an elegantly dressed girl with white hair, her whole body covered in a layer of dust, the kind you wash off, not the explosive stuff.
"Unbelievable! This is the kind of thing that I was talking about !"
"I'm really, really sorry!"
"Ugh, you-"
After listening for a few seconds he felt like it would be best for everyone, and his eardrums, to intervene. I mean, didn't the girl in red apologize for enough? Plus, he still wanted to ask her if she wanted spar a bit to see how he stacks up against the rest.
"Shh, can you please keep it down people are trying to quick nap over here"
The snow-like girl, obviously angered by this rough-looking stranger barge into their conversation, shot back,"Who are you, and can't you see I am explaining to this child the dangers of knocking over my dust. What are you even wearing? You look like you belong on a ranch and not a prestigious school like this?"
"Well you see Snow Angel, the names Arc, Jaune Arc, and I'm just sayin' that if you're going to reprimand someone at least don't let the whole courtyard hear every little detail. Besides, judgin' by the looks of these glass container some of them are not properly secure causing the explosion. Loose seals burry miners after all"
The aforementioned 'Snow Angel' blushed in embarrassment before replying "Don't call me that, my name is-!"
"Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of dust in the world." a black-clad wallflower, who seems to somehow materialize out of nowhere said, her voice filled with buried but powerful emotions.
"Finally, some recognition." the heiress puffs up her chest, not seeing the setup for what it was.
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor force and questionable business partners."
"How-, how dare", Weiss stopped herself before regaining her composure and decided to walk away with her dignity intact while the other student with a bow and book made off stealthily, as if she was never there, leaving the little reaper and blond cowboy standing awkwardly in the middle of the crater dotted square.
Breaking the ice first, the girl mumbles "Thanks for standing up for me."
"Nah it fine, names Jaune Arc… so would your name be?" he responds with a good-natured honest smile.
"Well, my name is Ruby Rose."
The two remained silence till Ruby quietly yet awkwardly asked "Soooooo does this make us friends."
"I reckon it does."
She gave Jaune a smile that could melt the coldest of hearts, Jaune flushing a bit at the sheer MOE(Massive, Overload, of Emotion)while inwardly Ruby was thinking 'Ha! take that Yang, I can totally make friends' while a mini version of herself was doing a victory pose.
"Ugh Ruby, I think we should get going to the auditorium."
"Uhh yeah I almost forgot about that," she said sheepishly.
As the duo silently made their way to their destination Ruby decided to start up a conversation about her favorite topic….WEAPONS.
"So I got this thing."
She then brought out her massive sniper-scythe, showing Jaune all of its glory.
"So it's a Scythe? Ain't those meant for farmin'?"
Frowning a little bit at the thought of using her weapon for manual labor, she merely responds "It's a lot more than just a scythe. It is also a customizable, high impact sniper rifle." so what do you have?" She says beaming with pride.
"So its also a gun? Neat, I'm just using an old antique, nothing that special." Jaune tried to act falsely modest, the pride in his voice still clear to see for a weapon fanatic like Ruby.
"Ooh ooh can I see it please?"
"I don't know."
"Pleaasssseee."
"Fine." Though he left all his equipment and closed up in his luggage and he really did not want to show off the Thunderer unit the Vystal Festival so he decided to show her the other pistol he brought with him.
Jaune then brought out the gun that he had holstered on him currently. "This is my Colt Single Action Army, it can shoot 6 times before reloandin' and well there's nothing much to say about it besides being reliable and it highly customizable. It ain't one of those neat trick weapons that seem to be bees knee."
Cringing a little at having to hear that phrase twice in the same day by to different blonds, Ruby merely questioned "Wow, that really is old. Like, reeeaaalllly old, where did you get it?"
"Well my grampa has a lot these type of guns, he's always complaining about how they don't make them like they use to, you know, typical old man stuff, and so he constantly updates and maintains these guns."
"So...can I meet your, grandpa ?"
"Why?"
"Well, im sorta a dork when it comes to weapons and you grandpa sounds like an expert when comes to old weaponry. Most museums don't keep old weapons behind unless they're like heroic relic so I don't see old stuff like that anymore. Besides, it takes a lot to maintain a single weapon like my Rose here, I can't imagine having a whole bunch of them"
"He sure is."
"Um, Jaune."
"Yes?"
"Is this the right way to the auditorium "
"Ehh….I don't think so... you wouldn't happen to have a map of this place or something?"
"Nope. Ugh, maybe there is a directory we can use "
Sigh, 'this is going to be a long day,' Jaune thought to himself.
After a good 10 minutes of wandering around the campus, the duo finally made it to the assembly area.
Meanwhile, Yang was beginning to get slightly worried. She took a spot in the auditorium where she could easily spot Ruby when she enters the room but it had been more than 20 minutes and Ruby hadn't shown up yet, even though the speech starts in five minutes. Perhaps she shouldn't have forced Ruby too-
Before she could finish her thought, she saw Ruby and was about to call out to her, but another person appeared right after her, who was talking to her. Yang was immediately in big sister mode and began to size up the person talking to her sister.
He was a tall blonde guy wearing a hoodie and jeans combo, with a hat one that looked like it had come right off of a ranch. In Yang's opinion the guy was pretty hot and all but she wasn't concerned about his looks, she was more concerned what his relationship with her sister, after all, she believed that Ruby was a capable fighter and all, but she was still quite awkward when it comes to social interactions. While it nice that Ruby made a friend she had to make sure that he was not taking advantage of her or anything.
Putting on a carefree smile, she started jumping up and down to get her sister's attention, "Ruby, I saved you and your friend a spot."
"Thanks, Yang."
"Sooooo, whos your friend here?" making sure to overwhelm Ruby's personal space to get her to crack.
"His name is Jaune and we met after I exploded, then we talked, then we and tried finding the auditoriumalsodidyouknowhehasacoolgrandpathatknowsoldweaponryand-"
Grabbing her sister by her shoulders and giving her a little shake, she shot out"Slow down sister and can you repeat what you said?"
"Let me explain," Jaune spoke up.
"Well howdy, names Jaune Arc, I met your sister when I walked over to the scene of an explosion. We talked a bit then we sort of just hit it off, afterward, we somehow wondered our way here."
Yang gave Jaune a skeptical look and before she could ask any more questions the speech started.
"I will be keeping this brief. You all have here traveled here in the search knowledge. Here you will hone your craft and acquire new skills along the way. And when you finish you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But when I look amongst you all I see his wasted energy in need of direction and guidance. Your time at this school will prove to you that knowledge can only take you so far. It is up to you take the first steps."
After saying his piece Ozpin left the stage was followed by who had an announcement to make.
"You will gather in the ballroom and tomorrow your initiation begins so make sure to get a good night's rest. You are dismissed."
As the students grabbed began to grab their belonging and head off to the ballroom, Rub and Yang couldn't help but feel something was off with the head professor.
"He seemed kinda distant"
"Yeah it was like he wasn't even there, so what do you think Jaune?...Jaune?…."
Ruby turned where Jaune was only to find an empty spot.
"Ugh Yang, where did Jaune go?"
Yang shrugged in response.
Meanwhile, in the ballroom, Jaune was setting up his sleeping bag. Truthfully he did he feel slightly guilty leaving the girls without saying but hey, as soon as said the words; ballroom and sleep, he could not help himself. Luckily he took a picture of the directory with his scroll, otherwise, he would've never found this place. He would apologize to them tomorrow because right now, he was going to sleep and he going to enjoy no interruptions.
