Jaune is known to be fearless, brave and heroic by anyone who has done business with him. But now the almost fearless warrior was unconsciously watching his back ever since meeting Miss Goodwitch.
"Goodwitch" doesn't even come close to fitting her. You're telling me. I thought I would have to come out and help.
Don't worry C! I admit, I was nearly about to shit a brick, but now we've been approved for Beacon. Yeah it I-. Hold on, someone's following us.
Jaune pulled out his gun, Dusty, and hid it within his jacket pockets.
"I know you're there. What do you want." He heard a voice clear its throat "Now now Mr. Arc, I only wish to speak business." Now turning to see said voice, he noted that it was a tall man, he had a bright red hair, and one of the infamous White Fang masks. "Huh, if it isn't the Hero of the Faunus" Jaune said with layers of sarcasm. Cind, check the nearby buildings. I know he's got reinforcements, need to know how many.
"Please, I only wish to speak business. And please call me Adam." "Then call me Jaune. Mr. Ark makes me sound old." There are seven snipers on the three buildings behind and next to us, several ground troops stationed behind dumpsters and some closed buildings, and a couple heavy gunners stationed behind him.
Thanks C.
"So then Adam what does the White Fang want?" "We know that you are being sent to Beacon Academy. We also know that a certain Weiss Schnee will be attending the school like you. We want-" "Me to kill her, correct" The blonde bounty hunter said, cutting him off.
"Well, there's no beating around the bush then is there with you Jaune." short breath "That is correct and we want you to know that you will be payed handsomely for the job." He pulled out a wad of lien from his pocket. "This is only a small cut of what you will be payed for. We will supply you with weapons, money, contacts, armor, dust. The whole deal."
Jaune made a big show of thinking, while he already knew the answer right when he saw the mask. "Hmm..how about no. The Schnee family may be bastards, but not all of them hate Faunus you know."
The red haired man grew impatient, "You say you care for the Faunus! You would help them in a heartbeat no matter what! Or are you just a dog with no bite?!" "Funny, I could say the same thing to you, you little lapdog bitch."
He saw the gunners and ground forces move out of there hiding places, and saw the beams of several sniper rifles on his chest and head.
Any normal person would have begged for forgiveness, or have agreed at the sight of the man. But Jaune Arc isn't like most people, and if this Adam is as smart as he is thought to be, than he should only have to rely on a bit of scare tactics to make the angered Faunus leave. He is carrying the object that strikes fear in any Faunus's heart that has known his past.
Slowly and loudly pulling out Crocea Mars from his sheath, he could see the sniper beams shaking, and the obvious fear coming form the soldiers. Heck, the heavy gunners looked about ready to bolt it.
Jaune was right, seeing his back up trembling had disoriented the poor fools courage. "Y-you win Arc. But I will be back!" Jaune blew a kiss back at the red head and humbly walked away.
Smooth. Very smooth Cind. Also, what's the Schnee family number we stole from that merchant guy? You gonna call the Schnee family? With no proof of the threat to the mans daughter.
Jaune then pulled out his scroll (given to him by Goodwitch) and showed he was recording the whole thing. Sneaky bastard. You know you love me~.
Three hours later~
Jaune had just finished his hour long talk with the head-honcho of the Schnee family and accepted the job to be wary of Miss Schnee's actions around Faunus people, just in case they're White Fang.
"Still don't see how I'm supposed to help. She comes from a high class family, what will make her listen to me AND not be rude to Faunus people. It's pretty much implanted in her brain. And, if I'm correct, she'll run into the White Fang eventually anyways, I mean she IS a Schnee." "Stop bickering, just help when she needs it and nothing more. Can't be too hard. And more important matters, you need to massage my ass remember. You keep skipping it when you massage me." "Sigh, fine C. Let me get the lotion."
Cind then returned to her human form, pretty much ripped her dress off and flopped onto his bed in their hotel they're staying at, giving him as many sexy looks she could muster and overly moaning at his touch.
Three members of the hotel staff had stopped, listened and promptly ran off, beat red at the feminine moans of "Harder!" or "That's the spot!"
Cind started laughing maniacally at the presences that were outside their door a minute earlier.
One of the three was actually the clerk at the front for the next morning, recognized who was in room 636 and couldn't stop blushing when Jaune showed up to check out alone. That was actually a feat, since the woman's smiles and cheeriness were all staged, only because she hated the majority of the rich pricks that showed up at the desk. Let's just say every employee silently praised the blonde man.
On the Bullhead to Beacon~
"Couldn't I just use my..wings.. to get to the school? The amount of people staring at me is making me annoyed." Jaune mumbled all of this, only heard by his shadow and she started to giggle. Jaune, like everyone else, was carrying his weapons, armor (if the students carried it), and wolf pelt.
Everyone was staring, not because he carried a pelt (plenty had seen them and gotten used to them from their lives and other combat schools they went to) but what the animal was.
People were muttering, pointed, snapped a photo or two (or twenty) of the handsome man with the pelt on the ground of the ship. Fortunately, it was only the people who could see him, everyone else was chatting.
"I just want normal knees!" Is that..? Yep, it's her. Jaune looked around and noticed the little red girl, a petite blonde woman was next to her. Both were chatting about something involving knees, and frankly he didn't care. It wasn't until a girl gasped did he notice that they had arrived. He droned out the tv, giving introductions from the renowned witch, Goodwitch.
He stood up, causing all discussions to at least dim down as they caught the sight of him and his cloak. He saw some reporters and journalists waiting at the drop off.
Deciding to do something flashy, he hacked into the controls of the door from the backside computer, surprisingly wasn't hard, and allowed gusts of wind to enter the ship as people started exclaiming things like "He's trying to kill us!" Trust me people, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it earlier.
He took a step back, then jumped out, using his flame dust abilities to push him up and towards the pad, did three twist and flips (much to the students and reporters delight) and landed dramatically, turning to his fellow students to give a polite bow. He was surprised and happy to see some students who could use dust do what he did, just lacking the elegant tricks and landing.
When the ship landed, everyone gawked at the pelted boy. Immediately, all the sixty or so reporters bum rushed him and were yelling at him for a interview. The students caught the words "Bounty hunter" and "famous" including some "bravery" and "power" coming from the mob.
All the students who heard decided to get to know this mystery boy some more.
Before anyone could so much as open their mouth, a deafening roar sounded above them. "It's a Night Fury!" "Authors note: I'm not sure if there is a dragon grimm in RWBY, but if there is, I don't know the name, so I'm calling it night fury) Everyone fled as the beasts pitch black flames scorched the earth below, all except for Jaune. While everyone was running for the building he was contemplating on how to take care of it. He came to the decision, he would kill it.
Already teachers were firing at it, not good. The beast wasn't even dented, just became more annoyed.
Jaune has kept it a secret, not just Cind, from the world, all except his parents. He has the powers of legendary warriors called Slayers, at least form what Cind told him and his family. They were a combo of man, Faunus and Spirits. They were either air or earth types, and Jaune was air. They had wings, punishing air attacks, and held powerful weapons.
Jaune had been told his ancestors were all Slayers, except for the tenth generation and beyond. They were famed for protecting humanity and that his shield was his weapon. But she didn't even know how to unlock it, nor did any other spirits they came across.
He could hardly train his abilities, so all he could do was fly, counter, and attack with his pure white flame abilities. Not to mention he could launch his feathers at enemies, just like Nevermore grimm could, and his wings were just like unbreakable shields. Magic is pretty much the same thing as dust fighting. Humans and Faunus required dust to use magic, all except a few selected groups, and they were called the Trinity's. Each continent held Trinity's, and they were all famous, and the groups were extremely powerful and were seen as religious or militant figures.
Jaune was a fire magic user, and could write it off as him being half bird Faunus. His family is known to be quite powerful, seeing as his mother and seven sisters are Huntresses, and his father is a military general. Also, the Faunus heritage isn't a lie. While there was powerful racism in most members and ancestors of his, he still had Faunus heritage. So his heritage could be the perfect excuse.
Having his seven foot long wings (14 foot wing span from tip to tip, and stunningly white) he folded them forward to block the flames form the roaming beast.
Damn! That burns! Cind started pouring some of her aura into his fists, creating pure white, armored gauntlets over his hands. He pulled back his wings as the beast landed in front of him, seeing his aura, it thought he would be valuable prey. The beast liked a challenge.
Ruby POV
Ruby had not been having a good day. She was way too different to the other students and was having quite the annoying chat with her older sister, Yang. All of the sudden everyone started looking at someone (judging from what she could hear in the whispers) and was quieter in the ship. She looked over and saw the boy from before. Still wearing the White Beowolf cloak, and had the air of confidence and strength coming from him.
He started walking towards the computer and was typing something. Suddenly the door opened, letting in biting cold winds. The co-pilot was pushing through, looking about ready to strangle the kid, and stopped when he jumped out. Everyone gasped and was quite shocked to see him flying through the air, leaving red smoke in his path and doing very elegant tricks. Then he landed and gave them a bow before being rushed by a mob of reporters.
Everyone pretty much had there jaw hit the floor at his bravery and some even did it as well before the co-pilot could close the door. The reporters were in a shouting contest, and it was audible that this person was quite important for all those people to rush him.
As the students got off, one of them grabbed a reporter and asked what was going on. He said, much to everyone's surprise, that this boy was a famous bounty hunter. Then came the roar, and black fire.
Ruby had never seen a Night Fury, except from pictures. Hell, those pictures didn't even match to the real thing. Suddenly, Yang grabbed her, snapping her out of her dream land and everyone was running towards the main building and side buildings along with the reporters.
The front buildings had massive windows, so everyone was able to see the boy have beautiful wings sprout from his back and, surprisingly, blocked the fire balls from the dragon.
While everyone was scared and, again, slack jawed, the creature of pure hate landed in front of him. Both were staring each other down.
Jaune POV
Jaune felt the stares. It didn't take much to feel it. So he did the most reasonable thing to do in his situation: he hit the beast in the face with super strength, stunning it out of their staring match, then turned and waved at the students before pounding on the things face.
The beast was surprised, but quick. And strong. He reared his head to the side, sending the human flying back, only to see him flip and land like a cat. Both started firing..well..fire at each other, before the boys shadow uppercut the beast.
Jaune had told Cind to hold down the beasts wings and attack too disorient it. She couldn't help but oblige. It wasn't everyday she got to fight a dragon.
This would have made a nice mid-evil story, had not the female been kicking ass. Jaune had thrown his shield at the beast with a lot of his aura, severing off the things pointed tail down the middle. Using blasts of fire, ripping its wings apart, he then used his sword to sever the wings as best he could without losing his sword. Knives would be pointless against the things hide.
He felt several presences behind him and saw twenty teachers lunging at the beast with guns, cannons, swords, hammers and axes. Along with several dust attacks. He picked out a female to be his partner, seeing she also had a sword and shield, benefiting his style and launched her onto its back, while the heavy hitters smacked its head.
Cind didn't like having to quit the fight, but she was happy to be of some help to her partner. "Back up!" Jaune yelled as he rose to the air. Luckily the teachers got the message and then he launched a shower of razor sharp white feathers at the things tough hide, each feather had a sliver of his aura, making them burn and explode a tiny bit.
Then, increasing in more height, he shot down like a bullet, spinning with his wings in front of him like a drill and shot through the beast vertically, making it slide into two pieces with a disgusting squelch.
Not taking any care to any of the students or teachers looks, he pulled out fire Ark and cut out a couple teeth and scales from the beast, put them in his sack and looked back at the awed teachers. "Aren't we suppose to have an evaluation or something?" He winked at the female teacher he helped, much to her embarrassment and walked off, letting the beast slowly dissipate into mulch and bones. He'd take the remaining scales later.
Ruby POV
Ruby was dumb strucked, then again everyone was at the cloaked boy. Nearly all the best teachers at the school fought against the Night Fury with a beautiful assortment of weapons. Their styles and ways of countering blows and their teamwork was stunning. Then the boy yelled something, the teachers moved, the boy then used his beautiful wings to launch a hailstorm of feathers that then made tiny explosions. She recognized this from some of her classes as softening the exo-skeleton. Then he rose and spun in a white drill shape and cut the beast from its head down to the tail.
Everyone was frozen as they watched the action then saw it split in half. Someone cheered, then all of the sudden the entire school became one huge cheer.
Ruby felt something warm blossom in her chest as she saw the boys cut up shirt, revealing chiseled abs, tattoos and scars. Every girl she saw from her peripheral vision was red in the face.
The boy was walking towards the main building with awe struck teachers following behind him. She noticed the boy seemed...tired. She also didn't miss the teeth and scales he took even from her distance. The boy walked in and was mobbed by nearly every first and second year that she could see. He pushed and wove his way through the crowd too her and she had to will herself not to look down, fearing she'll get a nosebleed from his abs like in some of her manga books she read before.
Instead he ruffled her hair and gave her the most beautiful smile she had ever seem. He looked sheepish, but reached in his sack and pulled out a black scale, roughly the size of her hand. He reached over and gave it to her. She realized this is an act of kindness and accepted it gratefully.
He smiled and walked away, leaving a bunch of people to crowd Ruby about who he was.
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god...
Jaune POV
That girl must be special for you to give her gifts Jauney boy~ Shut up Cind. She was a awesome fighter and pretty damn brave to go against that many opponents. I simply gave her a congratulation gift. Uh huh, right. Jaune you OK? You seem tired.
Yeah, the finishing move I pulled used up a lot of aura reserves. Damn, you have a lot of aura! That move is something I've heard of from the history tomes at our academies.
Jaune stopped for a half a second, You have schools? Uhh, yeah. How do you think we learn. Right...dumb question...
