Jaune Arc's Bizarre Adventure

Highway to Heaven


Jaune stood at the docks, staring out at the ocean, his stand floating behind him, arms crossed. He had given the police a vague description, from what he could guess, the stand he had seen was called Sabatoge, and it did something to the shops security, breaking the door and then willfully triggering the alarm. Jaune let out a sigh as he stared at the grey waves, before turning back to his improvised training grounds.

Numerous steel barrels were smashed beyond recognition by far heaven, as well as a ruined shipping crate. Far Heaven seemed to have a great deal of destructive power. It's speed wasn't nearly as fast as Ruby's stand, but it made up for it with sheer force. Jaune still couldn't figure out what his stand was capable of. It had to have an ability beyond hitting things really hard.

Jaune then in a fit of frustration spat at the ground and pointed to a large wooden crate, Far Heaven surged forward and smashed the offending object. As he heard the crunch of the wood he scoffed and looked up at the cloudy night sky. His annoyance was interrupted by the sound of a slow clap. Jaune sought out the source of the noise and saw a strange girl sitting atop the shipping container. She wore a strange white, brown and pink themed outfit, with a lacy parasol resting behind her. Her hair was even an odd mix of the three colors. From what Jaune could perceive, her eyes bore the same colors, one white and one brown.

The girl slid off the end and landed, doing a mock curtsy before strolling over to him, closing her parasol and carrying it behind her, popping over and looking up at him. A small smile decorated her lips. Jaune looked down at the girl and raised an eyebrow. "Hey."

She gave a brief wave as she eyed his stand before flashing an OK sign with her hand. She mouthed the words, "House of Glass"

With those unspoken words a Jaune heard the sound of Glass shattering from behind him, and the boy dove past the short girl. He rolled and came back to his feet, Far Heaven appearing behind him. The girl's stand was strange, appearing to be made of fused shards of broken glass, all a strange shade of pink or white. It boasted a short diminutive figure much like it's user, but reminded Jaune of a ballerina, with a strange tutu made of glass, and the stand had glossy white eyes, and pink painted lips. The girl placed her umbrella tip against the ground and posed, her stand going en pointe. Jaune sauntered forward and turned around, crossing his arms across his torso, his left arm grasping at his waist, his left idle yet interested near his face. His head was turned slightly to peer at the girl with one eye, Hist stand mimicked his posture, but stared at the girl, forming a double helix of sorts with Jaune.

Jaune then turned and charged at the girl, his stand following his lead, the girl swiftly ducked and her stand twirled around her and planted a kick on Jaune's torso, the boy was knocked back but quickly recovered. Far Heaven went on the offensive against the stand called House of Glass. The yellow and white crusader threw a volley of punches, all of which the enemy stand seemed to evade. Jaune snarled in frustration as he attempted to rush the girl, only to be surprised as she fished out a small silver tube. Jaune continued his advance, until he saw the girl turn on the tube, revealing it to be a high power flashlight. The light hit her glass stand and the figure then pointed an open hand at Jaune. The boy swore as he dove behind a nearby barrel, hearing the sound of a hot laser firing into the metal protecting him.

Jaune vaulted over the melting barrel and sprinted off to the shipping containers, his stand following him. She had the advantage in speed, as well as range, he'd have to catch her off guard. He could hear the sound of her clicking heels and her umbrella tapping the ground as she strolled after him, the occasional blast of focused light burning shipping containers as he maneuvered through them, after rounding one, he yelled, "Far Heaven!" The stand slammed against the container, knocking it over, unfortunately the girl had rounded the corner, and had pointed the flashlight at the glass ballerina. Jaune grabbed his hair in frustration as he swung around a container. The blast of heat warming his back as the laser connected with another container. Jaune continued this pattern, attempting to get the drop on the girl, but she was just too quick. Finally, he found himself cornered. The girl blew a kiss as she pointed the flashlight at her stand, waving and wiping a faux tear from her eye as the stand's open hands glowed. Jaune stared the girl down, and ran forward. He would beat her. He wasn't going to die cornered by some mystery girl.

Jaune yelled, "Far Heaven!" and his stand manifested, flashing white and sending out what appeared to be a wave of energy. Jaune could hear the sound of a clock ticking slowly as he charged forward, the laser moving a tenth of the speed it had been moving before. Jaune's eyes widened in surprise, then triumph as he sidestepped the beam and moved forward with his stand. The boy cheered, "Checkmate!" as he closed the distance the field receded and the ticking sped up.

The girl's brown and white eyes widened in terror as Jaune landed a vicious right hook, sending her stumbling back, Jaune grinned as his stand zipped around him and began to lay into the girl. Jaune proudly chanted, "Muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda!"

The stand delivered a punch with each utterance of the word, before delivering one final punch, Jaune leaned back and screamed in victory, "WRYYYYYYYYYYY!"

The girl staggered to her feet, her stand clumsily floating towards her, Jaune strolled over made a tsk sound as Far Heaven batted House of Glass away. He leaned down to the girl, lifting her head by the scruff of her jacket, looking into her mismatched eyes. "Stay away from me."

The girl nodded, before rising to her feet, slowly, tottering on her heels as she stumbled away, her stand vanishing. Jaune watched as she left, before looking to his stand. He then began to laugh, almost uncontrollably. He had found his stand's ability. Slowing down time, if only for a few seconds. Jaune reached for his journal and produced his pen. Another battle, another stand user.


Jaune was tired of his classes already. He was only barely able to tolerate his history class because of the boy he sat next to, one Lie Ren. Boasting strange magenta eyes, long black hair, and a single pink street, Jaune had no idea of what to make of the quiet boy. He soon discovered after one lunch together that he shared Jaune's interest in history. Jaune also found Ren's choice in companionship interesting, a girl named Nora Valkyrie.

The girl was always clad in some shade of pink, and spoke at a mile a minute, but was an absolute savant when it came to mathematics and science. Sure she had the attention span of a goldfish, as she was demonstrating currently as she babbled about bearskin rugs while they ate lunch, but underneath that child like enthusiasm was a special kind of genius. Jaune merely nodded as he ate his sandwich, the girl prattling on about her best friend Ren and how he had appeared in the dream as well. Jaune smiled sympathetically to the well dressed boy, wondering how he hadn't been driven insane yet. "So what do you dream about Jaune?"

Jaune shrugged as he looked over to Nora, her turquoise eyes filled with curiosity. "Wizards and magical arrows."

"Whoa." Nora drawled, spellbound at the thought.

Ren simply picked up his bowl of soup and sipped at the broth, before turning to Jaune. "So, has anything interesting happened in your other classes lately?"

Jaune shook his head in disappointment, "Unfortunately, no Ren. History with you is the highlight of my day as far as classes go."

Nora then pouted and tugged at his arm, "Jauuuune, what about lunch with me?"

"Oh that beats out class easily." Jaune replied with a confident smile, noting how Nora fist pumped in victory. These two were the one anchor of normalcy as far as social interactions went, probably the only thing keeping him grounded in maintaining his status as a student. Pyrrha had been indispensible in the past few days, using her charm to find out more about Ozpin from the faculty, making sure the information made it's way back to him. There was still more than a week before Ruby's uncle came to town, and while classes dragged on forever, Nora and Ren were a pleasant distraction during what little downtime he had.

"So, should we catch a movie tonight?" Nora asked, rocking in her chair as she looked over to Jaune and Ren. Ren nodded in agreement, and Jaune finally shrugged before answering, "Yes. That sounds great Nora."

Jaune may not have been normal anymore, but it was nice to pretend with these two.


"I don't understand why you bother with those two." Pyrrha said as she flipped through a worn book. She had claimed her usual spot, sprawled across Jaune's bed, while he wrote in his journal at his desk.

Jaune shook his head in mock disappointment, "Pyrrha, Pyrrha. My life is now a tangled web of family secrets and arcane mysteries, Nora and Ren are a nice break from that."

"So you're using them? How cruel." Pyrrha said with a giggle as she continued to read.

Jaune laughed openly as she glanced over to the girl, "Hello pot, my name is kettle. I'd just like to say that you're black."

Pyrrha chuckled at his statement before rising to face the boy, "So you don't deny it then?"

"Honestly, I'm not sure myself." Jaune answered truthfully as he shut his journal, and turned in his chair. "Just as I'm not sure as to why you wish to tag along on my little search."

Pyrrha smiled as she reached a hand out to Jaune, tracing his jaw with her hand, "I'm curious to see where it leads. After all, the Arcs are cursed to forever lead interesting lives."

Jaune scoffed as he stood, walking over to his fridge. The boy removed two beverages, tossing one to Pyrrha and cracking his own open. He calmly sipped before saying, "Ozpin arrives in a little over a week, the same time Ruby's uncle is arriving."

Pyrrha's eyebrows raised as she sipped at her beverage, making her way to the door, "What a strange coincidence, the uncle from the family of stand users, who taught his nieces how to use their stands is arriving at the same time as the man who fought alongside our ancestors."

Jaune smiled as he affirmed her, "Indeed. We'll have to see what comes of this."

The girl nodded as she gave a wave and exited the room. Jaune smiled as he returned to his desk. Pyrrha was proving indispensable. Jaune was suspicious at first, but Pyrrha had proven to be surprisingly trustworthy. She was a master at keeping appearances up, to the rest of the school, she was Saint Pyrrha, taking pity on the blonde nobody who was struggling in his statistics class. Jaune was tempted to take this alliance beyond business, after all, while they knew much about each other's abilities they knew little about each other as people. Perhaps he would invite her to eat with Ren, Nora, and himself one day.

And there we have it. Chapter 7. Another short chapter, but still quite important. After all, I don't want to litter the story with filler. Now, as for Nora and Ren they are not currently stand users, but neither is Weiss. Before the end of this story, all three will possess a stand. Nora and Ren will be closer to their cannon selves, however since Beacon isn't a huntsman school in this, Nora will be a savant to explain how an obviously unstable girl is allowed at what is essentially an Ivy League school. And Finally, Jaune's updated stand stats. At the time of his entry to Beacon, Jaune's stand was considerably weaker, however it his improved immensely due to his training and the battles he has fought. That A in development is finally coming into play. As for his ability, much like Dio's time stop, Jaune's time slow down duration will increase by one second the more he uses it. Don't expect it to increase for a couple of battles. Many thanks to Echoes 1 and 2 for his suggested stand, House of Glass. I did feel the need to tweak it's appearance and abilities somewhat. Now housekeeping. Many thanks to everyone who keeps favoriting and following, it makes my day to see all of that, and I love reading the reviews. I'm glad people like Jaune as the Dio of Remnant. Feel free to let me know if you all want to see the stand stats for Guns and Roses, or any of the other stands featured thus far. Now, what to expect next chapter, well someone asked for JNPR to get together, so they will! Also, maybe we'll get to see Neo and Roman's employer?
