XenoBlaze:Well, here we are with another chapter.
Jaune(depressed):Yeaaaa...
XenoBlaze:What's wrong with you?
Pyrrha:He's only upset because this chapter is centered around him.
XenoBlaze:Oh right. The one when Cardin makes you his bi-
Jaune:You don't have to say it like that!
Nora:Aw cheer up fearless leader!
XenoBlaze:Remember our deal Nora?
Nora:*Sigh* I'll be good.
XenoBlaze:I'll hold you to that. Ren?
Ren:XenoBlaze does not own RWBY, Asterisk War or the Fate series. All rights go to their rightfull owners.

Team CVFY turning to face the screen. Hakuno, Ruby and Jaune's teams eating together in the cafeteria. And finally, Hakuno and Ruby smiling while shaking hands. The two butterflies from earlier fly off again towards the shattered moon.
{Last time}
Hakuno:Today is the day.
Jaune:*Pant* *Pant*
We...made it.
Ruby:And in recorded time.
Yang:By the way, you guys kicked major butt yesterday.
Blake:It was impressive.
Hakuno:Thanks.
Port:So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?
Hakuno:I do sir!
Weiss:Ozpin made a mistake.
Port:Instead of fretting about what you don't have, savor what you do. Hone your skills, perfect every technique, and be not the best leader, but the best person you can be.
Hakuno:You might not have been chosen as the leader of team RWBY. But you can still do your part and help Ruby grow to be the leader she's meant to be.
Weiss:Ruby, I think you have what it takes to be a good leader. Just know that I am going to be the best teammate you'll ever have!
Beginnings Arc Extella 7-Jaunedice
-Beacon Academy/Combat Class-
Jaune Arc was a boy who dreams of becoming a hero. It's all he ever wanted. And he finally got his chance when he enrolled into Beacon Academy. Sure most of the students there -if not all of them- made him feel small in comparison. He was still here. But right now, he wishes he wasn't.
Cardin Winchester, leader of team CRDL and resident bully, was mopping the floor with his newest victim in today's combat class. His unfortunate victim? Jaune Arc.
Jaune looks at Cardin, who laughs at his opponent's tiredness. Jaune gathers his strength to charge forward and swing his blade at Cardin, only for him to jump out of the way. Jaune looks back, surprised, as Cardin's mace sends Jaune's shield - and himself - flying back. Now only armed with his sword, Jaune continued to try and attack, but is blocked by the mace's hilt. Their weapons locked, Cardin forces himself up, towering over a struggling Jaune.
Cardin:This is the part where you lose.
Jaune:Over my dead-!
Jaune is cut short as Cardin knees him in the gut, making Jaune drop his sword and fall to the ground in pain. Cardin raises his mace and is about to slam it down on a worried Jaune just when the buzzer rings, the lights come back on, and Glynda Goodwitch's voice causes him to stop.
Glynda:Cardin, that's enough!
Cardin relents and walks away as she comes onto the stage, tapping her tablet.
Glynda:Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's Aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament-styled duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle, and that the official may call the match.
Jaune still lays on the floor in defeat and Pyrrha Nikos looks sad. Glynda turns her head to look at the losing warrior as he pulls out a smaller tablet with his low, blinking stats and that of his entire team.
Glynda:Mr. Arc, it's been weeks now. Please try to refer to your Scroll during combat. Gauging your Aura will help you decide when it's appropriate to attack, or when it is better to move to a more... defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf, now, would we?
Cardin:Speak for yourself...
Glynda:Now, we have just enough time for one last match. Are there any volunteers?
?:Hai! Hai! Over here!
Glynda look up to see Tamamo with her hand raised.
Glynda:Very well miss Mae. Who would you like to fight?
Tamamo:Well...
If Winchester-san isn't busy at the moment?
Everyone turns their attention to Tamamo.
Glynda:I'm afraid has just finished a fight. Perhaps-
Cardin:It's fine. I'll do it.
Everyone looks to see Cardin with a smug grin.
Hakuno:(Tamamo? What are you doing?)
Tamamo gives Hakuno a faint smirk.
Tamamo:(Just showing mister hot-shot here that he shouldn't pick on people weaker than himself.)
Nero and Altera shake their heads in exasperation as Tamamo makes her way to the stage. But not before giving Jaune a comforting pat on the back. Cardin holds his mace over his shoulder.
Cardin:Don't you have a weapon? Wouldn't feel right beating you to a pulp if your not armed.
Tamamo:Oh, you don't have to worry about me Winchester-san.
Tamamo takes out a talisman.
Tamamo:This is all I need.
Gylnda steps back as the screens begin to display Cardin and Tamamo's Aura.
Gylnda:You may begin.
The second Gylnda said those words, Cardin was already on Tamamo. Tamamo however, had a confident grin on her face while she avoided Cardin's wild swings. All the while making Cardin frustrated.
Cardin:Stand still already!
Tamamo tilts her head as she "innocently" responds.
Tamamo:But if I did that, you would hit me.
Cardin finally having enough, charges Tamamo for another swing of his mace. Only for Tamamo to flash a devious smirk. Tamamo channel's her mana into the talisman and when Cardin get's close enough...
Tamamo:Curse:Chaos Heaven!
Tamamo summons a large tornado and Cardin get's trapped inside it. The tornado constantly reducing his Aura as he flails about screaming. When she thinks Cardin has had enough, Tamamo stomps her foot on the ground and the tornado dissipates. Causing Cardin to fall to the ground. Cardin try's to stand when his mace falls on his head. Knocking him out and putting his Aura in the red zone. The audience remains silent until Yang breaks it.
Yang:That was awesome! Way to go Foxy!
Nora:Hahaha! He got knocked out by his own mace!
Glynda mentally sighs at Tamamo's display. Having seen the footage of the initiation in the Emerald Forest, she was able to glimpse at team HANT's skills. Skills that Ozpin himself stated that he could never hope to achieve. From the minute Tamamo suggested she fight Cardin, she knew that his ego would gode him into accepting Tamamo's challenge.
Glynda:Winner, Tamamo no Mae.
The members of team RWBY and JNPR smile at Tamamo. Specifically Jaune, who is happy that his friend defend him. But at the same time he is disappointed at himself for being defended. Pyrrha notices his look and frowns. As Tamamo walks back to her teammates, Cardin who has recovered from his embarrassing lost, glares at Tamamo. Tamamo sensing Cardin's glare, turns to him and smirks before joining her teammates.
Nero:You do realize you've just painted a target on yourself correct?
Tamamo:*Scoff* He had it coming.
Hakuno:While I appreciate you sticking up for Jaune, Tamamo. You have to remember not to draw so much attention to yourself. We don't need people asking questions about how we're able to do the things do. We have to keep a low profile.
Tamamo slumps a little in shame.
Tamamo:Hai...Goshujin-sama.
Glynda:Remember, everyone, the Vytal Festival is only a few months away! It won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practicing! Those who choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale!
The bell rings, and students start leaving while Pyrrha continues to frown sadly as Jaune hangs his head in shame.
-Cafeteria-
After combat class, the three teams sit together while they eat. Well, some are eating. Blake was more focused on a book she was reading as was Altera. Yang and Nero were listening intently to Nora telling a story. Weiss was busy filling her nails and Tamamo was busy drinking her tea. Ruby, Pyrrha and Hakuno were politely listening to Nora's tale. Jaune who is still depressed, spent his time messing with his food. Ruby, Pyrrha and Hakuno managed to pick up on the young knights mood.
Nora:So! There we were, in the middle of the night...
Ren:It was day.
Nora:We were surrounded by Ursai...
Ren:They were Beowolves.
Nora:Dozens of them!
Ren:Two of 'em.
Nora:But they were no match... And in the end, Ren and I took them down and made a boatload of Lien selling Ursa skin rugs!
Ren:*Sighs* She's been having this recurring dream for nearly a month now.
Nero:A fine story Nora Valkyrie.
Now, I shall enlighten you with a tale of my own. The time I once rode a lion!
Nora gasp with stars in her eyes.
Nora:YOU rode a Lion?!
Nero crosses her hands underneath her chest in a prideful manner.
Nero:Umu! Tis a wondrous tale. Listen well.
While Nero began her tale, Ruby, Pyrrha and Hakuno decided to question Jaune about his sour mood.
Pyrrha:Jaune? Are you okay?
Jaune:Huh? Oh, yeah! Why?
Ruby:It's just that you seem a little... not okay...
Everyone reads the atmosphere and ceases their distractions. Even Nero stops her tale, but promises Nora to tell her the rest later.
Jaune(Nervously):Guys, I'm fine. Seriously! Heheheh...
Jaune focus is drawn to team CRDL. Who are currently messing with a brown haired rabbit faunus girl.
Pyrrha:Jaune, Cardin's been picking on you since the first week of school!
Jaune:Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah... He just likes to mess around! You know, practical jokes!
Hakuno:Jaune, don't try to defend him. We all know what he's been doing.
Ruby:He's a bully.
Jaune:*Scoffs* "Oh, please! Name one time he's 'bullied' me.
Ruby:The time he knocked your books out of your hands.
Pyrrha:The time he activated your sheild while passing you in the hallway, which caused you to get stuck.
Hakuno:And the time he pushed you into a locker and launched you out of the school.
Jaune:I didn't land far from the school!
Pyrrha:Jaune, you know if you ever need help, you can just ask.
Nora gets up from the table while sporting a somewhat insane grin.
Nora:Ooooh! We'll break his legs!
Nero raises her hand in support.
Nero:Second!
Nora and Nero high five each other.
Jaune:Guys, really, it's fine! Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me; he's a jerk to everyone.
They all looks over as the laughing grows louder, mixed in with cries of pain from the rabbit girl when one of her ears are tugged on by Cardin.
?:Ow! That hurts! Please, stop...
Cardin:I told you it was real!
Russel:Haha! What a freak!
?:Excuse me?
Team CRDL turns to see Tamamo with her hands behind her back and wicked grin.(Smile of Death) Back at her friends table, everyone is shocked that they didn't see Tamamo move. Her teammates however, sigh as they knew Tamamo would intervene. Cardin and his buddies however don't notice the wicked intent behind her smile.
Cardin:What do you want? Here to help your fellow animal?
You faunus do try to stand together.
Tamamo still grinning but getting slightly ticked off responds.
Tamamo:Could you be a dear and let go of that girls ears? She's obviously in pain from having them tugged.
Cardin, seeing he has someone else to harass, let's go of the girls ears. The girl in turn runs behind Tamamo. Completely forgetting his embarrassing defeat at Tamamo's hands.
Cardin:What? You wanna take her place? Bet that tail of yours is pretty sensitive. Or maybe YOUR ears?
It's rare for a faunus to have two traits. But it just makes them even more of a freak!
Cardin and his buddies laugh at Tamamo.
Tamamo:Okay. That's enough.
Tamamo points at Cardin.
Tamamo:Feel the wrath of the heavens.
Tamamo shoots a lightning bolt at Cardin that shocks him. While he's being shocked he screams like a girl.
Cardin:GYAAAHHH! Y-YOU'RE Z-ZAPPING ME ALL OVER!
Cardin falls out of his seat with a dazed expression. Crackles of lightning still flashing around him. His teammates look towards him with scared expressions. Tamamo, still smiling turns her attention to the remainder of team CRDL. Her finger still crackling with lighting.
Tamamo(Innocently):Does anyone else have something to add?
Cardin's team helps him back up and hightail it out of the cafeteria. Everyone else either cheers or laughs at Cardin's expense. Tamamo scoffs at them before turning her attention to the rabbit faunus.
Tamamo:Are you alright dear?
?:Y-yes.
Tamamo:That's good. Your name?
Velvet:V-Velvet.
Tamamo:It's a pleasure to meet you Velvet-san.
Velvet gives a small smile.
Back at teams RWBY, JNPR and HANT's table, team RWBY smiles at Tamamo's deed. As does team JNPR. Team HANT however just face palms at Tamamo's deed. Knowing that this is the kind of person she is. Still, that doesn't stop them from smiling.
-History Class-
After the incident in the cafeteria, it was time for history class with professor -Doctor- Bartholomew Oobleck. When team HANT first met him, they found him to be an interesting man with a curiosity for knowledge. In fact, they could say he was somewhat like Archimedes in that regard. Only without the whole wipe out humanity thing. Honestly he was quite pleasant to be around. If you could keep up with him. The man talks like he's had too much caffeine. And he moves around with speed you could only see from Ruby's Semblance. Hakuno and Tamamo are the only members of team HANT that have his class this period.
Oobleck:Yes! Yes, prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution-more popularly known as the Faunus War-
Oobleck zooms up to the front of the class and the map covered in papers behind his desk and points at the map of said area with his stick.
Oobleck:-humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie.
Oobleck then zooms off to the side for a sip of his coffee before appearing in front of the desk. He then continues to zooms around the classroom more, sipping his coffee again before continuing to zoom and talk.
Oobleck:Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day! Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?
Some of the silhouetted students raise their hands. Velvet, after a moment, does the same. Tamamo raises her hand with a frown as she remembers her past. Hakuno gives her a concerned glance since she knows of her past. She may not be a real faunus, but Tamamo knows what its like to be judged by appearances.
Oobleck:Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!
Oobleck takes another sip of his coffee before continuing.
Oobleck:I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang! Now, which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of the War?
Weiss raises her hand.
Oobleck:Yes?
Weiss:The battle at Fort Castle!
Oobleck:Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?
Unseen by the professor, Cardin flicks a paper football at Jaune's head.
Jaune:Hey!
Oobleck zooms over into Jaune's face.
Oobleck:Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?
Jaune:Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... that the Faunus...
Jaune looks behind Oobleck's focused face at Pyrrha, who coughs and motions to her lips as she gives him the answer.
Jaune:...had over that guy's stuff...
Pyrrha cups her hands around her eyes and Jaune goes for the most obvious answer.
Jaune:Uhh... Binoculars!
While Jaune looks pleased with his answer, the class laughs at him and Oobleck, who had zoomed back to the front of the class, sips his coffee. Pyrrha sighs and slaps a hand to her forehead as Cardin pounds his fist on his desk while chortling. Oobleck then zooms back behind his desk.
Oobleck:Very funny, Mr. Arc! Cardin! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!
Cardin:Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier.
Oobleck shakes his head in disappointment and Tamamo glares baring her fangs. She would've hit Cardin with another lighting bolt, if not for Hakuno telling her to clam down via their bond.
Pyrrha:You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, Cardin?
Cardin:What? You got a problem?
Pyrrha:No, I have the answer! It's night vision. Many Faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark.
Blake:General Lagune was inexperienced, and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured.
Tamamo:Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure.
Cardin gets up from his seat with his fist clenched. Tamamo smirks at him. Jaune laughs at his tormentor's embarrassment when Oobleck zooms up to him.
Oobleck:Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat. You and Mr. Arc can both see me after class for additional readings.
Oobleck takes yet another sip of his coffee.(Seriously, how much is in there?)
Jaune's shoulders slump as Oobleck zooms away.
Jaune(Depressed):Oohhhh...
Oobleck:Now! Moving on!
-Hallway-
When the lesson ends, Hakuno and Tamamo reunite with Nero and Altera. They had some free time so they took the opportunity to change clothes and spar. After a few hours they decided to call it a day and go back to their room.
Nero:So, Cardin Winchester continues to torment the Arc boy?
Altera:Bullies are the worst kind of people. In school and outside it.
Tamamo:Mikon! It took everything I had not to blast him in that smug face of his.
Hakuno:Doctor Oobleck saw how Cardin treated Jaune in class. Hopefully he'll take some kind of action.
Team HANT looks forward to see Velvet along with another girl standing by their door. She had dark brown hair and eyes and her clothing looked like something from a magazine. Guess Nero and Tamamo aren't the only ones with expensive taste.
?:This them Velv?
Velvet nods.
Hakuno:Can we help you?
The girl pulls down her sunglasses and examines the four saviors. After a few moments she speaks.
?:You girls are pretty styling.
Team HANT:Huh?
?:It's nice to see other people who know what style is. Your clothes are definitely cool. Especially brown eyes over there.
Hakuno:Uh...thank you?
The girl turns her attention to Tamamo.
?:Your the fox faunus that helped Velvet out and zapped Cardin?
Tamamo:Yes?
The girl smiles.
Coco:Thanks for that. I'm Coco Adel. Leader of team CVFY. You've already met my teammate Velvet.
Velvet waves shyly.
Coco:That guy has been a real pain to deal with. And the rest of us aren't always with her to help out. So thanks.
Tamamo smiles then bows.
Tamamo:My pleasure Coco-san. I'm Tamamo no Mae of team HANT.
Nero:I am her partner Nero.
Nero gestures to the rest of her team.
Nero:This is our leader Hakuno. And her partner Altera.
Coco:Team HANT huh?
There's a lot of rumors about you guys. The fact that Hakuno here uses a Dust sword that even the Schnee's know about. And the fact that you guys have some weird Semblances.
Hakuno is surprised for a minute but quickly resumes her normal expression.
Hakuno:Is that so?
Coco:Well anyway, I just wanted to thank you guys for sticking up for Velv here. Nobody messes with my Bun-Bun and gets away with it.
Velvet face turns crimson from embarrassment.
Velvet:Coco!
Coco:Well, we better get going. You guys need anything. just ask.
Velvet:Um. I didn't say it before. But thank you.
Coco and Velvet take their leave.
Altera:Rumors huh?
Nero:I thought we were being careful.
Hakuno:*Sigh* I guess it was bound to happen at some point. We'll just have to make sure no one knows what we can really do.
Tamamo's ears twitch.
Tamamo:Hm?
Hakuno, Nero and Altera turn to walk into their room while Tamamo stays still.
Hakuno:Is something wrong Tamamo?
Tamamo:Oh no. It's nothing.
I think I'll get some fresh air before bed.
Hakuno eyes Tamamo in suspicion before relenting.
Hakuno:Okay. Don't stay out too late.
Tamamo:Hai.
The remainder of team HANT goes inside their room while Tamamo waves with a smile. When the door closes, that smile drops into a serious expression. Tamamo then heads towards the roof.
-Rooftop-
While the other teams were busy settling in before bed, Jaune and Pyrrha were busy talking. Pyrrha has been noticing that Jaune has been struggling since he came to Beacon. As well as Cardin's constant bullying. Pyrrha had suggested to help him. But Jaune has took it the wrong way.
Pyrrha:Jaune, everybody needs a little push from time to time. It doesn't make you any different from the rest of us. You made it to Beacon! That speaks volumes of what you're capable of!
Jaune turns away from Pyrrha and lowers his head.
Jaune:You're wrong. I-I don't belong here.
Pyrrha:That's a terrible thing to say! Of course you do!
Jaune gets angry and faces Pyrrha.
Jaune:No, I don't!
Jaune calms down as Pyrrha looks bewildered. Jaune turns away from Pyrrha again.
Jaune:I wasn't really accepted into Beacon...
Pyrrha:Wh-what do you mean?
Jaune:I mean I didn't go to combat school, I didn't pass any tests. I didn't earn my spot at this Academy!
Jaune faces Pyrrha.
Jaune:I lied! I got my hands on some fake transcripts, and I lied!
Pyrrha:What? But... why?
Jaune:Cause this is always what I've wanted to be! My father, my grandfather, and his father before him were all warriors! They were all heroes! I wanted to be one, too. I was just never good enough.
Pyrrha:Then let me help you!
Jaune:I don't want help! I don't want to be the damsel in distress! I want to be the hero!
Pyrrha:Jaune, I-
Jaune:I'm tired of being the lovable idiot, stuck in the tree while his friends fight for their lives! Don't you understand? If I can't do this on my own... then what good am I?
Pyrrha attempts to reach out for Jaune's arm and console him, but he leans back from her touch.
Jaune:Just... leave me alone. Okay?
Pyrrha bows her head in sadness.
Pyrrha:If that's what you think is best...
Pyrrha walks away, her footsteps getting softer and softer until she leaves the roof. Jaune paces a little until he hears a mocking laugh and Cardin appears on the roof from his window.
Cardin:Oh, Jaune...
Jaune:Cardin!
Cardin:I couldn't help but overhear you two from my dorm room. So, you snuck into Beacon, huh? I gotta say, Jaune, I never expected you to be such a rebel!
Jaune:Please, Cardin, please, don't tell anyone!
Cardin:Jaune, come on! I'd never rat on a friend like that!
Jaune:A... a friend?
Cardin:Of course!
Cardin traps Jaune in a headlock under his arm despite his struggling.
Cardin:We're friends now, Jauney boy! And the way I see it, as long as you're there for me when I need you, we'll be friends for a long time.
Cardin finally releases Jaune, who gasps as he leans on the ground.
Cardin:That being said, I really don't have time to do those extra readings Dr. Oobleck gave us today. Think you could take care of that for me, buddy?
Cardin leans down to rub Jaune's hair and gets up with a grin.
Cardin:That's what I thought.
Don't worry, Jaune; your secret's safe with me.
Cardin heads back to hang onto the edge, then drops back down to his room as Jaune rubs his neck in pain and worry. No one was aware of a certain pink haired fox faunus listening in on their conversation with narrowed eyes. She then leaves silently.
-To be continued-
