Chapter 4

Jaune kept up his pace, it had been about four days now since he had left Team RNJR, he had turned off his Scroll so they couldn't track him and they couldn't phone him, he was following the feelings he had been getting, two of those things or people he needed to get to were now paired up, he had been following the trail for a while and two of them were starting to head towards him, but Jaune couldn't think about that right now he had different problems to deal with, deciding now would be a better time then any he sat down in a meditative state and closed his eyes and started to relax, soon he drifted off an arrived in his subconscious in front of his dragon, the rain was still falling and was still burning the dragon.

''You have nerve showing up hear again'' growled the Dragon.

''Yeah listen I want to make things right, dragon, err can I have your name?'' asked Jaune ''it feels weird just calling you dragon''

''Hmm, you have nerve coming back hear alone, but you have even more nerve asking my name, I told you when we first met I don't accept you, I still don't so why should I tell you my name?'' asked the Dragon.

''Point'' said Jaune ''listen I want to say I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make it rain or anything like that, so I want to say I'm sorry, I want to know how I can make my wrongs right, how can I stop the rain?''

''I doubt you could, you see this world it reflects you and your power, I am your power as of such anything like this is when your resolve starts to break and you start to show weakness, ever since that girl died you've been pathetically weeping to yourself'' said the Dragon.

''Don't you ever just call her a girl call her by her name!'' said Jaune strongly, the Dragon paused as the rain started to lighten ''and why do you have to be so hard, I just want to make things right, I want to be your friend!''

''YOU HAVEN'T EVEN GOT TO THE POINT THAT YOU COULD CALL ME A FRIEND!'' roared the Dragon ''you have allowed it to rain and in doing so cause me such pain, you still haven't shown me any impressive feats of skill or power, to me that doesn't really sound like someone I want to be friends with, your resolve has always been weak and fragile, if a chain is as strong as it's weakest link then the chain that you are would have been broken several times now

''Hey, that's not very nice'' said Jaune disheartened.

''Well I'm not a very 'nice' creature now am I'' said the Dragon ''point is boy, I don't like you, I don't want anything to do with you, but unfortunately I'm stuck with you now aren't I''

''THEN WHY ME, WHY PICK ME!'' roared Jaune ''WHY NOT PICK ANYONE BUT ME RUBY, WEISS, BLAKE, YANG, NORA, REN, PYRRHA, HECK EVEN CARDIN ARE ALL BETTER CHOICES SO WHY DID YOU PICK ME OF ALL PEOPLE, WHY ME!''

The Dragon remained silent only glaring down at Jaune, it then lifted its head ''wake up, you need to see something'' ordered the Dragon, Jaune did as he was ordered and saw a town on fire in the distance, the Grimm or the White Fang or something was attacking ''so what are you going to do, tuck your tail between your legs or fight?''

''Ok you want the truth, I don't like you either Dragon, I didn't want any of this, I don't want your amazing powers, I don't want this journey, I didn't want what happened to Pyrrha to happen and I didn't want to hurt you, I want to take that back more than anything, but I can't now can I, but were together and it doesn't matter right now does it, were together so we might as well work together!'' stated Jaune as strongly as he could.

The Dragon was silent until he said and he seemed to be pleased ''very well Jaune, lets do this''

Jaune started to run with full force at the town, he was running much faster than he ever had run it was amazing, he was wondering if the dragon could be contributing to this, but there was no time to think, for now he just had to run to where he was going.

-LINE BREAK-

Altair meanwhile was running along, he had seen a town on fire and he was feeling one of those something he was looking for headed towards it, he bolted at top speed, but he could feel another of these presences was headed for it, he'd find what he was looking for there, as he kept running.

''Yes keep moving Altair, they'll need our help when you get there'' said Burūbān

''They?'' asked Altair still running ''who is they?''

Burūbān's only response was ''you'll see when we get there''

Altair just shrugged it off and kept running as fast as he could, he'd just make it there in time possibly.

-LINE BREAK-

Meanwhile Jaune had gotten into the city to find out it was the White Fang who was attacking the town, trying to draw Grimm to the town, he had been fighting the White Fang off and he had been doing an excellent job too, fighting them with his typical sword and shield style, taking down one after another.

''Good work Jaune'' said the Dragon ''the training you've been doing has certainly improved you, but please try duel wielding''

''Ok I'm up for a challenge'' said Jaune shrinking his shield back down into a sheath.

Jaune then started to fight duel wielding style, he was using the sword to attack and the shield in sheath form to defend in a duel style blade fashion, Jaune was making pretty good progress too fighting them off and driving them back, he then decided to test out the upgrade, putting his sheath on his sword, it then transformed into the stronger double handed style, but by the time he had done this the white fang had started to retreat as the Grimm had started to arrive.

''Jaune keep your guard up, you can still win this'' said the Dragon ''use my power''

''Wait will it damage my sword or the sheath?'' asked Jaune.

''No don't worry, the Crimson Flames will not damage it, the Crimson Flames are powered by your determination and courage, they will not be able to be extinguished if you don't want them to, they will do as you want them to, now listen ignite your sword and I'll show you a little trick I know'' said the Dragon.

''Ok then'' said Jaune, he focused and did as he did before, the now broad sword ignited on Crimson Flames.

''Now slam it onto the ground'' ordered the Dragon, again Jaune did as he was told, slamming the sword into the ground, and three blasts for fire blasted from the ground, burning three groups of Grimm ''Trinity Flame, usually its used on fewer enemy's than this, but it still works, there are a few more techniques''

''Like what?'' asked Jaune slashing an Ursa in two.

Just then though a blast of Blue Flames came out of nowhere and someone walked up to Jaune, he had black hair and blue eyes and was wearing a black jacket with black cargo pants and boots, he wasn't wearing a shirt and was just strutting forwards ready, ''hey names Altair need any help?'' he asked.

''that would be great thanks'' grinned Jaune reigniting his sword.

Altair saw this and grinned ''Dragon's Claws!'' he called igniting his claws.

''what the!'' said Jaune in shock.

''Thats a special kind of Blue Flames, he's like you Jaune, only his flames are powered by his Empathy and his indomitable Willpower'' said the Dragon ''those claws are Blue Flames, super heated and purified to the highest degrees that they become claws like that''

''Who cares he's helping us, might as well jump in and help'' said Jaune cutting into another Grimm, just then he saw Altair releasing a roar attack ''wait can I do that''

''yes you can actually'' said the Dragon.

''I'm gonna try it then'' said Jaune taking a deep breath and then released it with a burst of Crimson flames coming out and burning a group of Beowolves stupid enough to attack, but then Jaune heard a familiar terrible 'caw' three at once in face, he looked up and said ''oh no''

Three Nevermore's flew overhead, Jaune and Altair got ready to fight them, but just then three lightning bolts shot down from the heavens and struck the three Nevermore's killing them, they crashed into the ground and Jaune and Altair turned around to see a woman approaching them, Altair steered at her for a little, a bit hesitant like he was in a trance.

''your welcome'' she said ''I am Kiran of the Valkyries''

''thanks'' said Jaune.

The three of them turned to see more Grimm charging towards them, the three of them looked to each other and nodded, taking his sheath off his sword Jaune put it to his side and charged with Altair and Kiran and they started to fight the Grimm together, Jaune was slashing using the Crimson flames at his disposal Grimm caught on fire as well as getting cut down, Jaune then took a deep breath in and unleashed his roar, while he was fighting he looked at the other two, Altair was slashing and clawing his way forwards taking out both big and small Grimm at the same time, Altair was honestly amazing.

'one day, one day I'll be strong, I'll be strong like him' thought Jaune as he watched Altair, he could easily tell Altair was stronger than he was.

Jaune then looked over to Kiran and she really amazed him, he hadn't seen someone fight like Kiran since Pyrrha and even then he could tell that Kiran was way better than Pyrrha, she was fighting using both her large claymore and her large triangular shield to get through them quickly, she was also using her lighting semblance to blast Grimm down before they got to her charging the lightning through it, she then took a deep breath and released a breath of lightning, amazing Jaune, who quickly snapped out of it and got back to fighting, the three of them then got together back to back, but then everything changed when they heard a...

ROAR!

All the Grimm scattered and ran away, then they saw what was heading towards them.

It was a Chimera Grimm, this Grimm was a black lion like Grimm, it had black fur that was similar to a Beowolves fur, it had a domino mask like Grimm Mask, it had a long black scorpion tail and it had black crustacean like armour on its back and it had white sharp sword like fangs coming out of its mouth like a sabertooth cat.

''guy's get ready'' said Jaune, as the Chimera let out a savage snarl.

It charged and tackled Altair and attempted to bite down on Altair's head, but Altair held it back, when that failed the beast attempted to sting Altair, but Jaune quickly ran up and slashed at it's tail, but Corcea Mor's blade bounced off the monsters armour, Jaune quickly backed off as the sting turn towards him and stung at him, Kiran then used this opportunity to pick the big cat up and throw it off Altair, she then helped him up.

''you ok?'' she asked.

''yeah thanks'' said Altair before releasing a roar which hit the Chimera while it was down, but the beast took the flames.

Jaune quickly fired the Crimson flames at it with a burst of flames from his sword, the Chimera screamed in pain but it continued to fight, it charged at them again, but this time they all dodged the attack.

''come on it has to have a weak spot somewhere'' said Altair.

''I'm trying to think, but Port always spent his time just bragging so I don't know how to kill a Chimera'' groaned Jaune.

''luckily I do'' said Kiran ''it's head is venerable from above so were going to need to strike the top of its head''

''wait I have an idea'' said Jaune ''at one point I glared at a Geist Grimm and it froze in its tracks''

''I did the same thing to a Goliath Grimm'' said Altair

''you both have used the Dragon Glare ability?'' asked Kiran.

''yeah can we use that?'' asked Jaune.

''yes, but it needs to be looking at our eyes'' explained Kiran.

''so it needs to be when it's charging us'' said Jaune.

''exactly'' said Kiran.

''well currently it's the best we got'' said Altair ''and if that fails back to the drawing board''

They then dodged a sting as the Chimera charged at them again, it started to slash at Altair and sting at Jaune, but then Jaune attaching his sheath to his blade then blazed the sword with flames and brought it down cleaving the tail clean off, the Grimm screamed in intense pain, Altair used this opportunity to unleash his glare on it, the Grimm slowed down a little, but Kiran quickly joined him and used her own glare her iris's becoming fully yellow, Jaune then started to help his iris becoming fully red and eventually the Chimera stopped.

''alright who wants to finish this?'' asked Jaune.

''your plan you do it'' said Altair.

''I agree, it was your plan you can take the victory'' said Kiran.

''no you guys helped so hows this we all kill it together'' said Jaune.

''alright on three then'' said Altair igniting his claws ''one''

''two'' said Kiran readying her claymore.

''three'' said Jaune taking out his sword and they all punched there respective weapons into its head killing the monster and causing it to disintegrate.

The three of them then dropped there glares and knelt down to catch there breath Jaune even sitting down and looking around, the people had been evacuating when he had been fighting, the White Fang, it looks like they had fully evacuated when they were team fighting, but Jaune couldn't care less, he looked at both Altair and Kiran and felt it, these were two of the people he was looking for the presences he had been feeling he had found them and Altair and Kiran had been looking at him the same way.

''well, we did it, we killed the Chimera'' panted Jaune out of breath.

''yes you did Jaune, to answer your question why I didn't pick Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xaio Long, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Niko's or Cardin Winchester, I picked you, because I felt your power before you were born, I sensed your power from within the womb'' explained the Dragon appearing in front of him in a sort of ghost form ''Jaune, you have earned the right to know my name, I am Overlord''

''Thank you, Overlord'' said Jaune, he then looked to Altair and Kiran ''do you two have Dragons too?''

The two of them didn't speak, instead two dragons showed up behind them, they're dragons, Overlord recognised them immediately ''Lyn? Burūbān? My old friends I've missed you, it's good to see you again'' he said.

''Indeed it's good to see you again'' said Lyn.

''I've missed you too Overlord, now we can finally decided who is mightier'' said Burūbān.

''I can't wait for it'' said Overlord.

''Ok now can you please explain something to us?'' asked Jaune.

''Yeah like why are we all together?'' asked Altair.

''listen it'll be explained later'' said Kiran.

''Kiran is right, you three need to stick together'' said Lyn.

''Don't worry when you find the final two we will explain everything, Kiran already knows, but we'd prefer to wait until your all together'' said Overlord, with that they disappeared.

The three of them looked at one another and Jaune just smirked ''well we came this far, better go thought it to the end''

''you got a point there'' grinned Altair.

''come on then, we better get moving'' said Kiran.

As the three of them started to move they didn't notice two young men there age watching them, one of them was dressed in armour and holding a bottle that contained what looked to be an aurora, the other one was the one who had watched Altair, Adler.

''I told you it was starting'' said Adler.

''Indeed you did Adler'' said the young man holding the bottle ''indeed you did, lets meet up with the others''

†††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††

so there, the groups of Jaune, Altair and Kiran and Thane and Kole will soon meet up and can you guess what's in the Aurora in a bottle? It does come into relevance later trust me.
