Chapter 4: Origins


"What are you doing here?" said by Jaune, staring at Neo with cold eyes….

"It's nice to see you too Jaune" replied Neo with a pouting face.

Jaune just let out a deep sigh and change his expression. He also change his 'eyes' back to the normal oceanic blue colors.

He didn't meant for things to go this way but he couldn't just let the Aura he was sensing all this time to run around, it could have been a threat.

"Neo….. Fine it's good to see you too" Jaune gave pleasing smile.

"Hehe I know you'd miss me, I bet since we haven't seen each other for months. It probably made you all worry about me didn't you?" said Neo with a grin on her face.

Jaune replied with a serious face, "No"

"Hmmp..., well I was! Not only that, when I came back everyone said you left. You didn't even leave a note for me. I didn't believed them at first but the last few weeks, I've heard some rumors circling the underground. It was about a certain 'Knight' who enrolled himself to Beacon as a Huntsmen in training" Neo was trying to hold her anger with a pout and glaring at Jaune.

"Is that so? How many knew about it?" Jaune asked.

"Well, they were nothing but small time crooks and murderers but don't worry, they're all 'dead'. I hate it when I had to clean up someone else mess".

Jaune didn't said anything to what Neo just informed him, instead he looked at her with a concern and pity. He had to admit it, maybe leaving without Neo was a wrong idea. He should had brought her with him.

As well as the fact that he needs to be careful next time, especially from the underground networks, The 'Queen' could very well trace him here. Putting the rest of the Students and school Faculty in danger.

Jaune suddenly felt light punches coming from Neo and he was a little irritated about it. He couldn't helped it when Neo always tries to act like a kid having tantrums about not getting what she wants, "So what brings you here then".

"Well I wanted to see it for myself, cause I never thought you'd be crazy enough to join such pitiful school with pitiful people, with a pitiful ranks and pitiful Ice cream, I mean what's this for huh!?". Neo didn't noticed but she was already shouting at Jaune. So she calmed herself and turned around from Jaune with her arms crossed.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but I can't answer them right now. You just have to trust me, okay?" Jaune reached and pat her head.

Neo tried to pout even more and act like she's angry but couldn't resist it when Jaune started patting her head. If Neo had some kind of weakness this would be it. She treats Jaune as a big brother even without blood relation Jaune for her was her guardian.

That's why she was confused and surprised to know that he left the Holy Grounds without telling her, "I can't hear you…"

Jaune just simply smiled at her and pinch her cheeks while saying, "I'm sorry okay, can you ever forgive me?"

Neo smiled and came up with an idea how Jaune could make up to her, "Fine but only if you treat me with some Ice cream and I mean good ones. Not the kind your cafeteria serves. Seriously those things aren't Ice cream, they taste more like shaving cream"…


The time was 9:20 PM; when Weiss and Ruby were out to buy some snacks at the convenient store. At that moment Weiss was still bothered because of what happened this morning. She didn't get it, how can she be so clueless,

"I really don't get it, why didn't I saw it, I mean I'm the most rational one in the team"…

Ruby looked at her confused, "Weiss, that doesn't mean the rest of the world stupid, you know"..

"I didn't mean it like that" said by Weiss who was taking some bag of chips.

Ruby quickly added, "It's probably for the fact that you took it upon yourself that Jaune was going to fail at that test, you didn't even cared".

"What no—"

"Weiss, you didn't have any faith in him. You didn't saw his potential, and all you did was to judge like all the other students"…

Weiss was now angry, "Oh Fine! Rub it all in why don't cha"…

"Well I'm telling the truth here"….

Weiss thought for a moment, "Maybe his training with someone; he can't be that good. It's only been a month since the Initiation"… Ruby just ignored the idea, but it did made some sense if it was true.

After they've paid for the goods they immediate went back to dorm just before curfew catches them. On their way back, they passed along the corner where the best sweets can be found in all of Vale; 'Sweet Viscos Shop'. Ruby went to a sudden halt when she saw a familiar face who was about to enter the shop; Jaune and he was with a female.

Weiss looked back wondering why Ruby suddenly stop, "Hey Ruby we need to go back before curfew, come on".

Ruby didn't really understand it but something felt a missed. It was at the top of her tongue yet can't quite say what it was. Suddenly the idea Weiss spoke earlier was really making some sense now. Because she saw a girl who was about her height and maybe the same age maybe younger.

So Ruby quickly thought of a reason, like an excuse to get Weiss to come along, "Hey Weiss you're still upset about this morning right?"

"Wha-, tss, maybe a little"…. causing Weiss to cross her arms and putting an in denial face.

"Good, because I know what can cheer you up"….

Moments later Jaune was at the counter ordering the 'Deluxe Mount Everest Multi Flavored Ice Cream'. The sales clerk was surprised that someone would order such an item at this late.

While Neo was like a kid inside a toys store, picking one after another flavors of Ice cream.

Jaune didn't, mind after all he really meant it about making up to Neo.

For him, Neo was special. She was a family he never had, after all he owes his life to them or whatever's left to 'it'.

At the left side of the shop, a pair of eyes was watching them as if lurking for a prey. Weiss was too busy looking at the menu, she was still choosing what to order while Ruby had her usual treat; a dozen double chocolate chip cookies.

Ruby had her head low trying to hide from plain sight, but still able to see what was happening at Jaune and the mysterious female. Weiss wasn't sure what was happening to Ruby and to be honest it was kind of creeping her out. So she shared a glimpse over to the direction Ruby was looking.

To her Surprised, she saw Jaune who seemed to be having fun while watching some girl eat a pile of Ice cream.

"I knew he was seeing someone, she must be the one responsible for Jaune's training. Hey Ruby are you seeing th—". Weiss looked back at Ruby only to see her almost done with her cookies and just plain watching the two.

"Oh no….. I know that look, you're jealous aren't you!?"…

Ruby heard Weiss. For some reason as if by accident, Weiss hit a nail or something, "What! Cha- no! I'm not!".

"I can tell, you fancy him, I can't believe it, you two just knew each other for a month" Weiss was now just teasing her.

"No I don't! You said he was probably receiving some training. I figured that girl must be the one who's training him" Ruby said in denial but can't hide her pinkish cheeks appearing.

"So wait, he's the reason why we came in here for!?" Weiss said in surprised but Ruby was right, that girl could be the one training him. They need to know more.

The two girls waited and watched Jaune and her mysterious friend as if they were in a date. Ruby was growing impatient and Weiss irritated, "What could they be talking about?".

"I don't know, we're right here and we can't hear them well"….

This continued until Ruby looked to her scroll and saw the time it was already 11:15 PM, it was way pass curfew, "Oh no Weiss we need to go back. Look at the time, we're dead if anyone saw us out so late."

So they immediately stood and was about to leave when the two of them took one last look. This time the two was surprised to see the 'girl' glance back at them and winked, "She saw us, no she knew we were watching them!" said Ruby in a whisper yet exclaimed way voice tone.

Weiss just shrug it off, grab Ruby and left. She knew it was the second time she felt that way, it was another defeat.

Neo can't helped but laugh with the expression she just saw, "Hey Jaune I think you have some admirers".

"Neo don't be ridiculous. It's only been a month and can you hurry it up it's already 11:28—". Jaune eye's went wide as he saw the time, he almost jumped and quickly tried to leave but couldn't, he was with Neo.

"By any chance do you have a place to stay for the night, Neo?" asked Jaune

"Yes I do, if you're in a hurry you can go, I'll stay here for a while"…

"Are you sure?"….

"Yes! Now go! Seriously that's what you get for going to a pitiful school like that"...

Jaune immediately left and ran as fast as he can but still making sure no one will catch him way pass curfew. He arrived at his dorm room seeing his teammates was already asleep. He didn't want to make any noise so he walk and moved as quiet as possible.

As he changed his clothes to his sleeping attire then went to bed. He thought for a while about all of it. He had quite an epic day, Grimm, Neo and the underground intelligence, but he decided to just sleep and let the night pass.


Origins I

Jaune was standing in a dark room filled with children enclosed in a large liquid filled Pods. He strolled around to see just how many of this 'test subject' are in the halls of the Lab 5. Then he saw a data-bank scroll lying in the floor with a body. He reached downwards and took it from the hands of a dead scientist and quickly scanned it.

There were a total of 3,570 children that was there with the classifications and abilities as well as other information like blood type and results.

He further scanned the data-bank when suddenly he hit the tab that said 'failures'. His eyes widened in horror and disbelief at what he was reading. There were a total of 3,457,150 children failed test subjects and out of that number only 3,569 has passed the first stage. It was still missing 1 count.

He continued to read the list of names of the 'failed' test subject. Suddenly tears fell from his eyes as he read 6 certain names, Samantha Arc, Celia Arc, Katheryn Arc, Karen Arc, Diana Arc and Alice Arc.

However, one name was still missing, he wandered where was the name Neopolitan Arc. He searched and searched but there wasn't anything about that name in the 'failed' list. Which means she could still be alive.

He used the Data-bank to search for the Pod that has an 'Arc' name, the result returned 1;

'D SECTOR, SERIAL CODE T32F8G = 'Neopolitan Arc' status= PASSED, STAGE 3= PROCESS COMPLETE'

He quickly went to the location that was locked in a volt with 10 inch steel metal plates and 12 feet tall steel door. But even that couldn't stopped him, he was too determine to rescue the girl. He used his 'eyes' to see what was inside. From what it looked like, there was a circular room with a Pod in center. It had at least 9 other people. 4 scientist and 5 guards, no doubt they locked themselves 'in' to escape the genocide outside.

Jaune putted his hands over the steel door. Suddenly the Steel door changed in color, as if the composition change into something so friable; burning charcoal.

The people who was inside suddenly couldn't breathe due to the lack of oxygen. Each one passed out as if clawing for air to breathe but then ultimately died. He walked over the dead bodies and rushed to the Pod that contained an 'Arc'.

When he opened the Pod, he immediately covered her naked body with his cloak. Neo was still asleep so he carried her long past the dead bodies up to the first level. It was not until a few seconds later the little girl woke up.

Jaune hold her gently yet tight enough as he slowly caress her cheeks. The little girl opened her eyes and saw the face that looked familiar, "Hi Neo, good morning"

But the only thing he had in reply was, "Who….ar…. you? An….. Who's Neo?"

What she said brought tears to Jaune seeing what kind of horror she could have seen in such a young age, "Hi…. Your name is Neopolitan Arc … and my name is Jaune Arc, I'm… your Brother"…. Jaune can tell with her eyes. Her once cheerful eyes was now dark and empty; just like his.


Current day and time

Pyrrha , Ren and Nora couldn't believe what they were seeing, they woke up witnessing something they would never thought would ever happen, not after the talk they had last night.

On Jaune's bed lies the sleeping Jaune Arc and on top of him was a girl that had a pink and brown hair. She was wearing nothing but an underwear and a shirt that looks like Jaune's. Which gives an impression something happened last night.

Nora began taking pictures of the scene and Ren… well Ren just couldn't believe it, Pyrrha was a bit angry yet blushing at what she was seeing, "Ren are you seeing this?"….

"Yes, Pyrrha "….

Nora was giggling, knowing this would be going down in TEAM JNPR's history!. Pyrrha took the blanket off only to see how the mysterious girl was cuddling to Jaune's body while smiling. It was as if she's in heaven or as if she was eating another 'Deluxe Mount Everest Multi Flavored Ice Cream'.

Pyrrha had enough and decided to open the window as well as the curtain. Letting in the rays of the morning sun shining down at Jaune, after all it was already 9 in the morning. This cause Jaune to peak from his morning eyes trying to looked around, only to see his team around him, "Good morning guys, looks like I over slept last night"…

"Yeah we can see that"… Ren said in reply

Nora had her scroll and kept taking pictures with a grin that stretches from ear to ear.

Pyrrha quickly crossed her arms and said, "Jaune would you like to explain 'this'"…

"What do you mean?"… Said Jaune who just snap from the morning haze.

Pyrrha simply pointed to the female that was resting and cuddling at Jaune's chess, 'Oh hell no' Jaune thought to himself.

"Wait guys I can explain, it's not what it looks like!"…

All of them just glared at him as if they were stabbing him with killer eyes. At that moment Neo woke up due to the commotion and glanced up. She saw Jaune's face looking at her like an angel. For her it was a great sight to start her day.

So out of nowhere she leaned and gave Jaune a kissed.

"…." Everyone was silent and had their mouth dropped.

The only good thing was that Jaune saw it coming so he manage to evade the 'destiny-crushing-kiss'. Leaving Neo only managing to kiss Jaune's cheeks and said, "Uhh…. And just when I had a great sight in the morning" Neo said in a disappointed yet cute tone.

Then she looked at the other 3 people who was present in the room and watching her. This time she can sense one of them was jealous. So she gave a look of ownership to the red headed warrior as she hugged and cuddle more next to Jaune.

Ren sense an aura he didn't want to deal with and Nora for the first time was scared. Both of them felt as if Zeus was about to cast one of his mighty thunder bolts. Pyrrha went red as her hair and raise her hand. She was about to do one of her signature killing blows 'Reaper Death Chop'.

Jaune let out a loud cry of pain that can be heard all the way to Vacuo.

The loud cry of sheer pain echoed through the halls of Beacon. Even Ozpin heard it, "Wow what a great thing to hear in the morning" said by Ozpin with a sarcastic tone.

He was with Glynda, "What is it with young people this days".

"Glynda, don't you remember how it feels to love when you were young?"…

Glynda was surprised and was caught off guard by such question, "I don't know what you mean…. No" while trying to hide her pinkish blushed by looking away and fixing her glasses.

"That explains a lot"….

Glynda's reaction change to irritation and anger due to the comment, "Grrr!, you're the most ridiculous person I ever know!"

"My Students thinks I'm awesome"…

When all of a sudden Ozpin's scroll rang. There was a message coming from someone with the simple words that says "Queen has pawns". Which made the Head Master concern and think for a moment.

A few second later he suddenly remembered something else. There was someone coming this afternoon for a quick visit, it was an old friend, "Glynda is there any events of scheduled talk this afternoon?".

Glynda answered with an angry voice, "No!"…

"Good, I'll be meeting an old friend of mine. Perhaps you'd want to meet with him too?" said Ozpin while sipping his hot cup of coffee.

"And who might that be?" asked by Gynda who was still angry at him

"Ironwood, James Ironwood"….
