Penny now was heading to her dorm, after having a great training session with team JNPR and RWBY, she enjoyed it a lot and she was able to make new friends. She was just curious about the feelings that she got earlier when she was not training with them and seeing them so happy interacting with each other. In the next moment, she received a scroll call coming from her father Dr Polendina.
"Hello, Father. How can I help you?" Penny asked.
"Hello, Penny. I just wanted to ask how you are doing in Beacon." Dr Polendina asked.
"I'm doing wonderful, Father. I met a friend that I told you about, and she introduced me to her friends and we had a wonderful time. I only had one issue, before I joined them and was just watching them train I had a weird sensation, I felt anxiety, anger and confusion at the same time while watching them training happily together, but when I joined them it disappeared." Penny told her father.
"Oh, Penny. What you felt was Jealousy, I guess since you see people around having fun with their friends you were jealous and wanted to experience what they experience, that is why, when you joined them you no longer felt jealous since you were having fun just like them." Dr Polendina said.
"I guess, it's probably because I just want to be a normal girl just like everyone else." Penny said to her father.
"I know Penny, I am trying everything I can to make the General to let you have the most normal life possible, but since he sees you as a property of Atlas, it is a big problem since he sees you as an asset to the military. But, I promise you Penny, no matter what I will do what I can to try and give you your freedom." Dr Polendina said.
"Thank you, but… I don't want you to get in trouble with the General, Father." Penny said worried that her father might anger the general.
"Penny, you are my daughter, I will do what I can for you, I don't care if the general gets mad at me since he knows that there is no one smarter than I am in Atlas, I am a very important asset for him." Dr Polendina said.
When the called between Penny and her father ended she headed back to her dorm. Meanwhile, Dr Polendina was planning to search for a person that he heard about that can help him solve Penny's problem, he heard of a person who a few months ago would help villages outside of the kingdoms who would help them with the technology he has never seen before, he believes that that person can help him, even if it was a long shot he would still try since it was for his daughter.
Back with Jaune, after they finish training, he cooked them dinner had a conversation about the changes to their training such as the fact that Jaune would increase it, to prepared them to learn to use Accel Turn and Tempest Turn, and when they headed to bed Jaune started a project to help Penny become human, even as a synthetic human, Jaune can see the sadness in Penny's eyes, longing to be just like everyone else. So, he is making a device that will create a perfect artificial human body without any soul, so that when he asks Penny if she wants to be human, it would be ready or if something happens to her current body, he can just extract her soul using the power of separation of Yamato and place it on the new body.
Meanwhile back with Ozpin, received a message from Roman telling him that he was told by Cinder that they are soon heading to MT. Glenn to set things up, telling Ozpin that they are using the old railway that is heading towards Vale for something but was not yet told what it was.
Ozpin was thinking what it was they are doing there, or what they might be using the old railways for since they are blocked and is a dead end, so he was not entirely sure what it is they are doing, but Ozpin was thinking maybe they are the reason why the Grimm in the area seems to be increasing or why no matter how many huntsmans and huntress they send the amount of Grimm is not decreasing in number. So, he called Qrow to try and find out what they are doing but Qrow was not answering his scroll, so he let it be for the next day.
It now has been three days since the training with Penny, and Jaune is sitting down with one Pietro Polendina, apparently, Pietro tracked him down by going to the villages that he helped and asked them where they got the technology they had such as the appliances and the houses they have, and at first, Pietro did not get anywhere since they were all not wanting to give information about Jaune but, he was about to get some information on Jaune due to some kids who saw him save them, and the kids were able to tell him what he looked like but did not have any name but Jaune being the youngest teacher at Beacon was in the news, everyone from Vale saw the news, and some other kingdoms but not all, that is why until now Jaune's parents still have no idea that he is in Beacon and well they don't have good news coverage back home, that is how Pietro was able to locate Jaune.
"So, what can I do to help one of Atlas greatest mind." Jaune asked Pietro.
"I'm here because I have seen some of the villages that you have helped, you have technology that even Atlas does not, I'm here to ask you for your help regarding Penny." Pietro said.
"Oh, and what's wrong with Penny." Jaune said.
"It's now what is wrong with Penny, but what she is not." Pietro said.
"You know, you can tell me that she is a synthetic person." Jaune said.
"How, how did you know that Penny is not Human." Pietro asked Jaune.
"It is not actually that hard if you are very observant, I mean she does not even breathe, when you touch her she is cold, and when you look closely at her eyes you will realise that her eyes are not real, but I know for a fact that she is indeed alive and has aura." Jaune said.
"I was hired by Atlas because of the technique I created to use my own aura to make a new aura and place it in an inanimate object, when Atlas hired me, I saw this as a chance to have my own daughter since I could not have any of my own, when I completed the project Penny was born, but Atlas or more specifically general Ironwood see Penny a property of Atlas, not as a living person but as a weapon." Pietro told Jaune.
"I understand your problem but you should have known that, once you finish the project that it was going to be treated as a weapon since they are military, and I know for a fact that Ironwood care nothing more than a massing power for Atlas, he will do anything to protect his rise in power, even if he has to do the most morally questionable thing, it is exactly why he got himself appointed as both a general and headmaster of Atlas academy, he treats huntsman and huntress in training as if they are soldiers, his soldiers. But, that still does not explain what you want with me." Jaune said.
"I wanted your help, in trying to help Penny be more human, it is the one thing Penny desire the most, but it is also something that I don't have the capability of achieving but I was hoping that you may have a way to do it." Pietro said.
"I see, but you are wrong, I don't have anything that will make Penny anymore human like, as she is now." Jaune said.
"If that is the case, I want to apologise for wa-." Pietro was saying about to say but Jaune interrupted him.
"I have not finished speaking, but first I want you to promise me that what I'm about to say won't be getting to Ironwood, if you agree with that them we can continue talking." Jaune said to Pietro.
"You have my word, I don't ever plan to tell anything to Ironwood in the first place, especially now, after I know that he only sees Penny as a weapon." Pietro said.
"Then I will say this, like I said, I have no way of making Penny any more human than she already is, but, I have a way to make a human body for Penny that we can transfer her soul, aura and memory to and lastly with your DNA we can make a body that is actually blood related to you." Jaune said to Pietro.
"What do you want in exchange for your services." Pietro asked.
"Nothing, if Penny asked me to help her become Human, then I would have help her, since I see her as a friend, and the fact that my friends would have hated me if I did not help her." Jaune told him.
"How long will it take for you to be able to make Penny human." Pietro asked.
"Not long, if you leave me with a DNA sample from you, then I will be able to make a human body for her in about a day, then we can transfer her soul and memory to the new body." Jaune told Pietro.
"Then take my DNA, and tomorrow I will try and get Ironwood to let me have a personal day with Penny, then we will come here." Pietro said.
"That is fine, just make sure that Penny is okay with this, and that it's her choice to become human." Jaune said.
"That I will do, but the last problem is the fact that once we remove her soul for the synthetic body, it would no longer have aura, and that might cause some suspicion from Ironwood." Pietro said.
"You don't have to worry about that, I already have a device that can emulate aura, and it extremely hard to tell the difference between real aura and the artificial aura." Jaune said to Pietro."
"Thank you very much for helping MR. Arc." Pietro said to Jaune thankfully.
"Don't thank me yet until we actually complete the procedure, and lastly I want to give you this." Jaune said while handing the same pill that he gave to Amber.
"What is it." Pietro asked.
"It is a soul repairing pill, I can tell that whatever you did to use your aura as a source to make Penny is affecting you badly, with this it will help you heal the damages done to your aura." Jaune said. Pietro took the pills and immediately started to notice that when he flared his aura the dark patches in his aura was disappearing at a visible rate. Pietro thanked Jaune for his help and decided to leave to head over to Penny and ask her for her decision on the matter.
Jaune after talking with Pietro had taken out a box that he has been holding on since he was talking to Pietro, the box that he was holding was a lie detector just like the one he gave to Ozpin, and he was happy that everything that Pietro told him was true. Jaune then when on with his day just like usual, while waiting for the next day when he will finally be able to help Penny.
The next day, after classes, Pietro brought Penny to him as soon as he can since Ironwood is keeping a close eye on Penny. Jaune did everything he told Pietro, the previous day after getting Pietro's DNA he used it to make a human body for Penny, he made it just like a real human body using Pietro's DNA, she will be able to do everything a human can, even reproduce like a normal person. When Pietro so, that he was able to make a body for Penny he asked Jaune how are they going to transfer her aura and memory to the new body, and Jaune informed him that, there was no normal way of transferring it, and he took out a sword and showed it to Pietro, and told him that, the sword has the power to separate Penny's soul and memory with it and he took out a second sword saying with that second sword he can combine the new body with the soul and memory that was separated from the synthetic body.
The whole procedure did not even take a few hours, but when Penny woke up it took her a few hours before she was able to properly move around and talk, but other than that she did not have any issue. The next thing Jaune did was install an aura emulator to the synthetic body and a controller so that Penny can control the synthetic body from afar after everything was over, Pietro asked Jaune if he could take care of her, and Jaune agreed, now Penny will be staying with Jaune while Penny controls her old body pretending as if nothing happened so that Ironwood would not notice, then when they have a chance they would fake 'Penny's' death during a mission.
It has now been a few days, Jaune had to teach Penny some common sense such as the need to eat and go to the toilet, he also started training her with team RWBY and NPR, which he explained to them the situation and they were understanding but did not question it since Jaune was always doing the impossible anyway, so, what is the problem with a synthetic person becoming human.
Now, Jaune is preparing for his date with Glynda, he plans to bring her to Menagerie, and use one of the restaurants there to set up their dinner away from Vale so that he can have a good time with Glynda without anybody disturbing them. He planned to cook her dinner, have a stroll, then just talk to get to know more about each other.
