Jaune Arc: Bearer of the Curse
A hour of walking in silence after their fight with Sif Jaune and Ren in front of Blake and Yang a ways because Jaune is still pissed at them, while Ren was inspecting the blade that was in Sif's neck 'where have I seen this weapon before?' with an idea he then turns to his partner "hey Jaune have any of your predecessors seen a weapon like this before?" Jaune looks at the weapon searching the memories of the past Curse bearers.
One memory of the previous Curse bearer reveals a woman similar in appearance to the girl from Jaune's dream the night before but wearing a fur like coat, was fighting the previous Curse bearer and he cut off her tail and the tail turned in to the weapon before Jaune and the curse bearer from that memory subdued the woman by breaking her weapon, a giant black scythe and tripping her up and making her land on her ass and having the tip of his blade at her throat, "you lose Priscilla, a deal is a deal, time for you to see the real world outside this painting world and sorry about your tail." He walks over to the weapon picks it up and gives it to her "here to replace your scythe cause your going to need it." They both head to a walkway that leads outside and a long drop they both jump and everything goes white and reveals them to be in some castle ruins of sorts with a man who looked like an adult version on Ren waiting there for them.
Jaune regains focus "that would be Priscilla's dagger, don't know why it categorized as a dagger when it's basically the size of a short sword, it's a weapon that was once her tail and before you ask she did not fall in love for my predecessor but for one of his comrades." Ren looks at the weapon 'my mother's weapon why was it in that Grimm's neck?' and Jaune tells Ren about the memory it brought up and Ren smiled now knowing how his parents first met.
Then a deep voice came out of nowhere "Well, well it would seem you survived the mutt companion of the Abysswalker and the Grimm he attracted, I'm impressed, now let's see if you can fight someone a bit stronger?" Blake and Yang rush up to Jaune and Ren and all 4 get in to defensive positions back to back.
Yang pissed off by the mysterious voice "come out of the shadows you freak!" she shouted.
"very well." As a figure in a grey robe with black and white runes and a hood obscuring his face, steps out of the shadows of the forest in front of Yang "here I am Brawler come and get me?" he goaded Yang and she let him as she boost lunged at him cocked her right arm to bash his head in. Her attack connects sending him back a few feat but he lands on his feat, he spits out a broken tooth then looks at Yang "my turn." He charges her low and fast catching her by surprise at his speed when he got close he sent up in to the air ways with an uppercut, he jumps up to her and slams her in the gut causing her to make a small crater in the ground from the speed of her decent from his attack. The mysterious stranger lands next to the create and looks to the rest of team BYJR, " next." He says.
Blake rushes him when she get close he does a round house kick that connects but her body disappears surprising him then he is attacked from behind by Blake with a double slash from her weapon but she doesn't let up her assault and continues leaving shadow clones that take his attacks and slowly chips away his aura, but he learns a patter to her attacks and blocks her next attack stunning her and counter attacks her in her stunned state and sends her in to a tree knocking her out, but during her assault on him Yang was able to recover and attack him again.
Yang with her hair glowing like a plasma cutter in the darkness of a cave and her eyes were red from anger and stuck him with an attack that would have killed an adult death stalker in one hit, but it just sent him flying in to a few trees, he just gets back up stagers a bit (that attack took a lot out of his aura) and then rushes her and hits her in the gut causing her to spit up some blood and all the air in her lungs causing her to black out. He grab her unconscious body and tosses her next to Blake.
He then turns to Jaune and Ren "well with them out cold we can have a decent conversation, Curse bearer and child of Priscilla." His words stunned Jaune that not only did this guy know about his Curse but that Ren is the child of Priscilla as he looks to his partner to see his stunned face.
Jaune then looks back to the mysterious figure and asks him the question on his mind "how do you know so much about us and why are you here?
The mystery man just laughs "first who do you think attracted Sif here and secondly I know about the both of you because you Curse bearer, you are being hunted by the Abysswalker." Jaune gained a look of fear and started to sweat then the mysterious figure looks to Ren "and you child of Priscilla you are aura lock to Jaune's Curse so if you die he can't get stronger but for some reason unlike the previous Curse bearers partners you seem to also get stronger with him, so before I gauge your respective strengths can you please power up Jaune from the souls he collected." Jaune and Ren look at each other and just shrugged and Jaune exposed his darksign and Ren used his aura to power up Jaune who focused on his adaptability, dexterity, and durability and Ren, now aware of it, sensed the same attributes that Jaune strengthened increase in himself. Putting his hoodie and armor back on then Jaune and Ren got in to their battle possessions weapons at the ready. Unknown to everyone Blake was still conscious and herd everything.
Jaune and Ren went in two separate directions Jaune went right and Ren the left so they could flank the stranger. They charged in early fast but he was faster by jumping in the air and kicked them both back and on to their asses. Jaune is the first to get back up and charges again but faster and strikes his target a total of 4 times severely damaging the mysterious figure's aura before Jaune was sent flying, by way of the mysterious figure's fist, in to a tree breaking his back, legs, and his shield arm. Ren got back up and unloaded both of Storm Flower's magazines in to the mysterious figure's back not damaging his aura very well and he spin kicks Storm Flower out of Ren's hands forcing Ren to draw her mother's dagger, the stranger stops to look at the weapon "huh so that was what was sticking out of Sif's neck, hope you know how to use it." He commented then Ren started attacking and each strike was like a dance move but each strike missed as the stranger dodged each one and on Ren's last strike, a vertical spiral cut was caught between the hands of the mysterious figure and Ren started to sweat real bad as the weapon was ripped out of his hands tossed aside and he was then KOed by the Buddha palm technique and landed on the other side of Blake.
Around the time Ren was attacking the mysterious figure Jaune with his good arm grabbed his estus opened it and downed a swig healing his body 'ugh that hurt like hell.' He thought when he was getting up and saw Ren go flying to where the others were "REN!" he shouts the turns to the mysterious figure "YOU BASTARD!" and he charged him and then the mysterious figure trips Jaune and makes him land on his face and then was kicked in the ass and he rolled to his teammates.
The mysterious figure sighs "you all need to train more, and Jaune you need a few more Souls to be able to fight Artorias and win for now I will take my leave till we meet again Curse bearer and child of Priscilla." And he turns around and leaves.
"*grone* is anyone else conscious and has Ozpin's number?" Jaune asked his teammates.
"I am and I also have his number." Blake answered " why do you ask?"
Jaune looked at her "because we need our ride back and I'm going to check Ren and Blondie for injuries and I can see you took you estus because look like you were not thrown in to a tree." He replied.
"Touch me I cave your skull in." Yang said returning to the world of the living then taking her estus and downing it and healing her internal injuries.
"I am also capable to see to my own injuries but thank you for your concern Jaune." Ren said getting up and taking his estus and downing it as well healing his broken ribs. And Blake made her call and got the bulkhead to pick them up in the clearing they were dropped off at as they got there.
A few hours later
Back at Beacon Ozpin was waiting for them "did you find what was drawing the Grimm to that area?" he asked.
"ya it was a Grimm-ified Sif." Jaune answered.
"Sif as in the great grey wolf and Artorias' animal companion?"
Jaune nods "and he was lured in by some guy in a grey robe with white and black runes on it and he knew about me being the darksign bearer and he attacked us just to gauge my power to see if I was strong enough to survive an attack from Artorias." Jaune debriefed leaving out the stuff about Blake and Yang's betrayal(which forgot how they did so just that he knows that that did) and the stuff mentioned about Ren.
"Take the rest of the day off team BYJR you deserve it from the battles you had." Ozpin said and turns to leave
Jaune, Ren, and Yang sigh in relief and head to their dorm or the gym but Blake heads after Ozpin to tell him what she and Yang did to Jaune on the mission " Prof. Ozpin I have something to mention that Jaune did not in his debriefing."
He turns to look at Blake " and what may that be Miss. Belladonna?"
She bowed her head in shame "Yang and I betrayed Jaune's trust in us by making him fight the Grimm on his own with out our assistance from us and Yang restrained Ren to prevent him from helping Jaune and when Sif showed up only him and Ren fought it and told us not to interfere saying we've done enough and when we tried to apologize he didn't want to hear it and said that we weren't and that Yang was happy for him getting hurt from pissing her off for some reason that only she knows and despite being basically immortal he told us that he still fells pain and can die only to come back only to fight on and experience more pain." Tears start to form in her eyes
Ozpin put his hand on her shoulder "miss. Belladonna you have learned a very valuable lesson this day, you can't always rely on one member of your team to fight all the battles you will face you all need to work together or you will fail in the long run."
Nodding she leaves for her team dorm.
In the bathroom Jaune in his shorts was thinking to himself as he looked at the new hollowing patches on his chest that he got from the mysterious figure they fought earlier. 'well thankfully the memory I've forgotten it how Yang and Blake betrayed me on the mission but alas I've forgotten my family again*sigh* I'll use another crystal if my hollowing get to serious.' he put a shirt onto cover the undead patches so no one starts asking unwanted questions and exits the bathroom. Upon exiting the bathroom he sees Blake was back and reading one of her books and Ren was meditating on his bed, Jaune goes to his bed and collapses on it and was prepared to go to sleep when Blake shot that idea out of the water with a question he was not expecting and gaining Ren attention "Jaune, Ren who is Priscilla?"
Jaune sits on the edge of his bed and had to ask "how much did you hear?"
She looks to them "all of it even your guys conversation before that guy in grey showed up, so who is she?"
Jaune looks to Ren who sighs and puts on a sad smile as he remember what few memories he has of his mother. "the better question Blake would be 'who was she?', she was a rare dragon Faunus and my mother."
Blake was shocked from this revolution from Ren about his mother, then something clicked "you said was as in past tense, what happened to her?"
Ren lost the smile and bows his head and his eyes lose their life as he remembers the day he became an orphan "about 10 years ago the purifiers The human version of the current white fang came to my family home and killed her when she was in her flower garden and then killed dad when he went to investigate the commotion after telling me to hide which I did by using my semblance to appear as a cat that shot out the door when dad was killed and hid in a tree and watched them burn my home to the ground." Blake and Jaune were stunned by his revelation as he continues his story, " a day later a friend of my parents came over to see them only to see the desolation caused by the purifiers and I got out of the tree I was in and shifted back and I told her what happened and she took me to the orphanage she runs, the very same one were I meet Nora." Blake had tears in her eyes she got up walked over to Ren and hugged him surprising both him and Jaune for her sudden action. " thanks Blake." Ren responded to her action.
She ended the hug and went back to her bed and looked at Ren with a smirk "so you're a cat shape shifter that is actually interesting."
Ren looked at her calmly " I cannot only turn in to a cat but also other animals, I can also make slight changes to my base appearance as well for example." He changed his hair color to brown, blond, platinum, grey and back to black. Jaune was looking at Ren curiously when his hair turned in to the same shade of platinum as the girl from his dream. "Alas I'm unable to change my eye color or the streak of magenta in my hair they stick with my no matter what form I take." Ren finished.
" who activated your aura at such a young age?" Blake asked.
Ren looked at her "that the mystery no one did for I was born with it active." Blake and Jaune were once again shocked. At that very moment Yang who was on the other side of the door listening to every thing walked in like she didn't just listen to them the entire time.
After resting up they left to get something to eat and after eating they went back to doing their own things till it was time to get some sleep for classes the next day.
Nightfall
In Ozpin's office our mysterious figure is briefing Ozpin on Jaune and Ren's current power is not enough to fight Artorias yet but they are close a few more Grimm and training for Jaune and some training for Ren on mastering Priscilla's dagger and maybe some training for the rest of team BYJR and maybe even team PWRN then the question on the mysterious figure's mind is asked "uncle can I please take this bloody thing off now I'm sweating my tail off in this thing?" Ozpin just nods then the runes glow a white and violate and the robe becomes a cloak and he turns his back to Ozpin and takes the cloak off revealing a Faunus male around 17 wearing a black muscle shirt, black denim pants and black combat boots and he walks over to the wall right of the elevator facing it, presses a hidden switch to reveal a hidden closest, he put the cloak away and closes the closet then speaks " I didn't know why you asked me to wear your old wizards cloak exactly, but I see the point in it now since what you have planned for me tomorrow, well night uncle."
"goodnight nephew." Ozpin responded as his nephew enters the elevator to go to the gust dorms.
The next day everyone was called back to the auditorium. "Wonder what were here for?" Yang asked to no one in particular.
"Morning everyone I am sorry to interrupt your morning classes but this announcement is important for we are getting a late arrival to Beacon who I have already put through initiation yesterday and he passed with flying colors." He turns his head to his left and nods and a male Faunus with handsome features, a long and powerful Nile crocodile tail, he looks to be around 17 years of age and around 6'2" in height, he was wearing the male's uniform, with no accessories from his normal attire, he had short, but not buzz cut short, jet black hair but had his eyes closed walks over till he was next to Ozpin.
He turned to his new fellow students and opens his eyes to reveal that they were a beautiful but piercing azure blue and many of the female students tried not to blush looking at him and most were successful but the ones that failed miserably were was the entire team PWRN, Blake, Yang, and Velvet from team CVFY for their faces looked like they were about faint from the blood rushing to their heads, although Yang does look like she was about to have a nose bleed.
The Nile Crocodile Faunus bows slightly then straightens back out " hello I am Jet Azure it is a pleasure to meet you all." Said in a firm voice that set alarms off in Jaune's head 'why does his voice sound familiar' he thought but he just shrugged the felling of unease off.
After Jet's greeting Ozpin stepped forward "with jet here we now have an odd number of students so he will not be assigned to a team but he will join any of the current first year teams for missions if he so wishes to lend his skills to that teams success in said mission." This got everyone's attention and talking amongst them selves.
Then Jet clears his throat getting everyone's attention again. "in other words to get my help on missions you must prove that you are worthy of it, so if you do something that is unbecoming of a hunter you will not gain my help at all and if you do gain my help don't expect me to do every thing I'll only be there to lighten to work load of the mission so you must pull your weight on missions otherwise you will not become the best of the best of your generation of hunters, and to those in the higher years you guys are doing fine and will make exhalent hunters when you graduate."
Then Gylnda stepped up as Jet and Ozpin left the stage, "ok students head to your current class that you have at this time."
Thought out the test of the day Jet has had the same classes as teams BYJR and PWRN and when it came to combat class he was chosen to participate in the first match against the entire team of team CRDL. "ready to meat your maker freak?" Cardin said with a smug look as Jet got to the arena in his battle attire consisting of a black denim cargo pants, an azure blue mussel shirt, black combat boots, Midnight blue segmented armor on his arms going from his wrists to his shoulders and a grey stone like sleeveless jacket.
Jaune and Ren are surprised by his jacket and both thought the same thing 'is that made of dragon scale?'. In Jet's right hand was a weapon grip with a guard. "Bring it small fry." Jet taunted.
Cardin irked signaled for Russel, Dove and Sky to attack Jet all at once, and Jet activated his weapon first from expanding from the guard with many moving parts that continue to coming till it takes the form of sort of gun with a primary grey color with midnight blue accents as he pointed the business end at Russel and pulled the trigger firing off 3 low power rapid fire energy blasts that takes him down to 50%aura and sending him flat on to his back and then sends Russel into the red with a blast of lightning from his left hand.
The rest of team CRDL stop stunned to see Russel eliminated so quickly so they switch up tactics to try to flank Jet. Jet in the mean time switch weapon modes, with a flick of his wrist the gun's 4 triangular sides slide forward and close off the barrel of the blaster to form a pointed weapon then it shifts along the guard to be alone with the grip vertically and a form of counter weight form on the other side of the pointed part becoming a lance. When Dove and Sky were in position they attacked only for him to toss up his weapon and jump in the air and kick them both hard in the face and taking out a good chunk of their aura and sending them back a way. When he lands and catches his lance Cardin hit him in the back causing a fire dust explosion.
Cardin backs up a bit and waits for the red smoke from his attack to clear and sees Dove and Sky get back up in till a blast of spinning green energy leaving a trail electric green leaves in it wake hits Dove in the chest piercing his aura and explodes on his armor sending him not only on to his back but in to the red, and a bluish glow in to could be seen in the smoke getting better by the second, and 7 seconds from when the glow started a beam of electric azure blue energy shoot out of the smoke, dispersing the smoke in the process and revealing Jet with his arms out stretched to his side's, he aimed his left unarmed hand palm out facing in the direction of Dove and Jet's weapon in its true gun lance form and in crimson mode with the business end pointing in the direction at Sky, and nails Sky and sends him in to the red and out of the ring, what was scary part was that despite the attack he received it actually did very little damage to his aura levels.
Let's just say Cardin pissed his pants and was scared shitless, more so when Jet pointed his gun lance at him and switched it to violate mode and charges the weapon a few seconds and fires the shot at the paralyzed with fear Cardin and blasts him to the red with some electric arcs course over his prone body that spasms every now and then. Gylnda then announces jet the winner and asked for some one to get the nurse as every one was stunned by the decimation that Jet cause on team CRDL.
Leaving the arena Jet stops looks at teams BYJR and PWRN with a look that said 'power and fear incarnate' for a moment causing ruby to jump in to her sister's arms shaking like a leaf and causing everyone else to flinch, then he continues on to his seat to watch who ever would be fighting next. There was a moment of silence between the two teams.
"Ok I'm going to say it, that guys actually scares me." Yang stated trying not to shake like her sister " anyone else feel the same?" every one nods but Jaune. Ren and Blake look at him.
"What's wrong Jaune did he not scare that bad?" asked Blake with a slight tremble in her voice.
Jaune looks at her with a "oh I'm terrified it's just he seems familiar is all and I can't quite place why."
Ren places a hand on Jaune's shoulder " don't worry about it to much the answer to that mystery will reveal it self in time." He said reassuringly.
"right," Jaune sighs 'I guess it is best not to dwell on it for now, I just hope I don't get picked again for a fight.'
"the next match is between Pyrrha Nikos and Jaune Arc." Gylnda said.
'Dame you queen of darkness why have you cured me with such bad luck?' Jaune mentally screamed and sighed in defeat.
Meanwhile in the badlands a set in queen of darkness sneezed. ' what was that about?' she wondered.
Back at Beacon Jaune and Pyrrha each got in to defensive combat positions.
