*Finally the ending of this arc! Writing this took to long like 6000+ words long*
After 3 weeks of training, he suddenly receives a call one night.
A sudden ringing wakes Jaune from his deep sleep. Without getting of his bed, he reached out to his scroll located on the table beside his bed. Ruby's name was showing on his scroll. He accepted the call.
"Guhhuh…uhh…hello?", Jaune still drowsy laying down on his bed.
"Jaune? Thank god you picked up! We have been calling you this past week!", the familiar voice wake Jaune up from half sleep.
"I'm really sorry about that, Ruby. Been too busy in training", Jaune sat on his bed.
"I just wanted to see how you're doing, good gearing from you again", Ruby replied.
"Training is going pretty well. But hell it's hard as balls! My sister wasn't kidding when she said she gave up", Jaune stood up and walks across the room. After making his way, he sits on the frame of the big window in his room. He looks up in the sky and observes the stars above.
"So? How did the mission go?", Jaune asks about the mission that he was supposed to take part in.
"Uhhh…how should I say this…"
"Well… nothing happened…", Ruby said with a voice of disappointment. "We tried our best to get information, but the trail has already gone cold…"
"Were you attacked?", Jaune with a worried tone.
"Strangely no…it's as if… they're purposefully avoiding us"
"What a relief. But it IS strange, now that they have the Maiden Power, they don't have anything to fear"
"Ughh… I feel like we wasted time... Can we really do this?", Ruby expressed her disappointment.
"Hey! Hey! You're the one who told me we leaders aren't allowed to fail. Don't doubt yourself…I know you Ruby, you can do this!"
"Yeah…I guess so…", Ruby's tone expressed her doubt in herself.
A moment of silence passed, as the two of them said nothing.
Taking a deep breath Jaune said "How did the other thing go?".
"Oh…uh…at first they can't accept it", hearing Jaune's pained voice Ruby forced herself to answer.
"But when we gave them her circlet, it hurt them. They thanked us, we left after saying farewell", Ruby further told their experience.
"Jaune…can I ask you…something?"
"Go on", Jaune let Ruby ask.
"Why didn't you want to go with us…why not meet Pyrrha's parents?"
"I don't want them to face the man who led their daughter to death"
"What do you mean…"
"Pyrrha entrusted me her destiny, let me decide of the path she'll take…"
Ruby was dead silent.
"…and I led her to her death"
"Will you face them at all?"
"Not now, but someday. I feel like I can face them when I 'am the man Pyrrha wanted me to be. A different man than I' am now", as Jaune explains his reasoning, Ruby felt his sadness.
"Jaune…"
"That day will come someday. And I can't just sit here and grieve…So what's your next plan Ruby?", with that change of tone Ruby knew he was changing.
"Oh…uhhh…I haven't really thought about it… The main reason we didn't catch them is we didn't cover a large enough area. We need more people"
"What's the plan?"
"…I…want….want to reunite team RWBY. Don't get me wrong Jaune, JNR is a great team but I feel more comfortable with them, and we work well as a group. Jaune please DON'T BE MAD!"
"Nah, I don't mind. In fact, I agree. Your team is one of the greatest Student Hunters beacon has to offer", Jaune expresses his opinion.
"Jaune, you don't have to flatter me…", Jaune flattery softened Ruby's mood.
"It's the truth. Ok, I'll help", Jaune decides to help in Ruby's goal.
"But how? You still have a week to go through training"
"I'm going to get my childhood friend to help. You call Yang and talk about your goal. I'll have my friend find Blake. You go to Atlas and talk to Weiss' parents to let her go. Then we reunite your team at Atlas", Jaune proposes his plan.
"Blake is chasing after White Fang. And we can't even find a trace of them. Will she be alright?"
"Don't worry, he's the best tracker I know"
"See you in Atlas then"
"If I recall, it'll be winter when we meet in Atlas...", Jaune remembered the season.
"Snow ball fight?", Ruby broke all the seriousness of their conversation.
"Aghahah…Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Oh oh oh and also lets try some of those Atlas hot chocolate drinks"
"Ahhhhh…perfect for the season"
Their conversation continued and ended with both of them smiling at the end of it. The next day, Jaune didn't perform well on his trainings because of sleep deprivation.
*Chapter finished. I don't know if I can write another chapter for like a month, too busy in my studies. That's also why I made this so long. So what do you think of this fan-made continuation of vol. 3? I know there are other fics that have the same premise (but i haven't read one) so my progression might not be original
For the names of the sisters, I based some from famous knights, keeping with the theme of their family.
The Arc Siblings Outline: (For those having a hard time remembering) they are numbered according to eldest to youngest
1. Arthurias Arc – (not in this chapter)
2. Annie Arc – house helper, blonde.
3. Noir Arc – military trainer, black haired.
4. Andrea Arc – blacksmith chuni, black haired.
5. Jaune Arc
6. Alexandria Arc – blonde, helps in the farm.
7. Moly Arc – black haired. Nomnom is her dog
8. Aileen Arc – Andrea's assistant, blonde.
I felt accomplished and disappointed at the same time. Accomplished because I named all 7 of them and gave them personalities. Disappointed because most of them wont be used for future chapters. Like seriously what a waste of effort.
Story Conceptualization Shenanigans:
Me: so what to name the eldest sister?
Mind: so who are you going to base her off?
Me: King Arthur would be good
Mind: then try twisting the name
Me: hmm...Arturia!
Mind: that would make her Arturia Pendragon (Fate Series)
Me: then...Arturias!
Mind: so Artorias the Abysswalker (Dark Souls)?
Me: screw it! Arthurias it is!
Next Chapter Ideas: Jaune's BFF meets Yang. She thought that he is trying to track down Blake to kill her (she's also trying to find her). Then bar fight, the fight was stopped when Jaune called his BFF to check on his progress. Next Yang and Jaune's friend help each other to find Blake
I showed a next chapter sneak peak because of the same reasons as the first line of this note*
