At the same time Jaune was being carried by a deathstalker by his stinger, Ruby and Weiss meanwhile we're on a nevermore for some reason...
"Ruby I told you this is a bad idea!"said Weiss as she began to wonder how did Ruby even convince her this was a good idea in the first place!
"We are fine! Stop worrying!"said Ruby who had to resort to yelling as the wind made it hard for her to hear even the sound of her own voice.
"I am so beyond worrying!"yelled Weiss in frustration.
"...In a good way?!"asked Ruby with a hopeful tone.
"In a bad way! In a really bad way!"replied Weiss with anger!
"Then why don't we just jump?"suggested Ruby.
"What are you insane?!"Yelled Weiss
What Weiss didn't realize was that as soon as we finished her statement Ruby had already jumped off of the Nevermore leaving her behind.
"Oh you insufferable little red!"said Weiss as she began to rant, tell, and curse words that were not appropriate for anyone below the age of eighteen.
Meanwhile Yang and Blake were on the ground back at the ruins but Blake had noticed something something falling from the sky.
"Hey Blake did you hear that?!"asked Yang as Blake responded by pointing towards the sky to reveal Ruby falling towards them.
"HEADS UP!"Yelled Ruby who really didn't think her plan through enough...!
"RUBY!"yelled Yang with worry wondering why her sister was falling from the sky.
Ruby was about to hit the ground when she was saved by Jaune inadvertently as he had been launched by the deathstalker around the same time.
This caused him to collide with Ruby midair which in turn caused him to go into a nearby tree which broke their fall thanks in no small part to their Aura.
"What was that?"said Ruby who was all dizzy seeing stars and Beowolves until she shook her head managing to regain her senses.
"That would have been me inadvertently saving you from what would have certainly been a bad fall."said Jaune as he was hanging upside down as he landed on a higher tree branch than Ruby.
"Thanks... I guess."said Ruby who wondered what was going on.
"Did your sister just fall out of the sky?"asked Blake and Yang was just as confused as her.
Before Yang could answer though an Ursa came coming out of the woods looking like it was running for its life as what looked like explosions were coming off its back before it fell to the ground dead revealing the girl known as Nora was writing its back.
"Ah it's broken."said Nora indicating this was not the first time she rode a Grimm on its back.
"Nora...please... never do that again."said the boy known as Ren as he was trying to catch his breath.
But when he looked to see where Nora was he saw that she was no longer there and that Nora was currently near the ruins where she picked up a golden Rook piece and began singing.
"I'm Queen of the castle I'm Queen of the castle!"sang Nora before Ren yelled out her name in frustration.
"Hehe coming Ren."said Nora as she skipped back to her childhood friend.
"Did that girl just right in on a Ursa?"asked Blake as she was just as confused as her partner and before Yang could say anything something crazy once again happened.
This being Pyrrah running towards the ruins being chased by the deathstalker from the cave hot on her tail. Pyrrah barely avoided getting pinched by one of its pincers as she noticed Jaune and called out his name.
"Pyrrah!"said Jaune.
"Wow."said Ruby as she got up and jumped out of the tree.
"Ruby!"said Jaune as Ruby rolled around on the ground before getting up.
"Ruby!"said Yang happy to see her sister.
"Yang!"said Ruby who tried to hug Yang before Nora came in between them for some reason.
"Nora!"said Nora who somehow got in between them without either Ruby or Yang noticing.
Meanwhile Pyrrah was still being chased by the deathstalker...
"Did she just run all the way over here with a deathstalker on her tail?"asked Blake once again but Yang was just shaking with anger at this point as things were getting a little too confusing for her taste.
"Ah! I can't take it anymore can we all chill for like two seconds before something crazy happens again!"yelled Yang as she activated her semblance and started doing breathing exercises to calm down.
Exactly two seconds past before something crazy happened again...
"Uh...Yang."said Ruby as Yang lowered her head a little bit before looking up to see what her sister was looking at.
It was Weiss hanging off the talon of the nevermore they were flying on earlier with only one hand looking like she was barely holding on.
"How could you leave me!"yelled Weiss as she struggled to hang on.
"I said jump."said Ruby and her defense as everyone was looking towards the sky.
"She's going to fall."said Blake.
"She'll be fine."assured Ruby.
"She's falling."said Ren aswice couldn't hold on to the Nevermore's talent anymore and indeed let go.
Jaune meanwhile notice what was going on from the tree. Now while Weiss was a spoiled uptight brat he couldn't well let her die or anything like that as that would dishonor him since he knows he could do something.
So how could he live with himself letting an innocent yet bratty girl die on his watch.
So without a moment of hesitation he jumped into the air and grabbed her before doing a somersault causing both of them to roll on the ground.
Jaune got up and it was revealed he was still holding Weiss princess style.
"You save me? But I thought you hated me?"asked Weiss wondering why the jerk who had been nothing but mean to her had saved her.
"Hate is a strong word and I don't hate you more like you annoy me but there's no way I could have let you fall to the ground and possibly die. That is just not my style."said Jaune as he put her back down on the ground.
'She weighs a lot more then she looks but there's no way I'm going to ask her how much she weighs as I don't want to have a death sentence...' thought Jaune as he secretly popped his back behind her so no one would notice.
Meanwhile the Deathstalker managed to land one on Pyrrah and knocked her over to everyone else.
"Great the gangs are here now we can die together."said Yang sarcastically.
"Not if I can help it."said Ruby as she pulled out Crescent Rose and ran towards the Grimm.
"Ruby wait!"yelled Yang as Ruby hit the deathstalker head on but the deathstalker knocked her back.
"Don't worry... I'm fine."said Ruby as she decided to do a tactical retreat but not before firing around from her sniper rifle at the deathstalker.
As she was retreating the nevermore from earlier decided to attack so I began to fly down towards Ruby. With a flap of its wings it started releasing its feather arrows trapping Ruby by her Cape with one of them.
"Oh you have got to be kidding me."said Jaune as he began running towards Ruby with Yang close behind.
But Yang was stopped in her feather never more stopped your hinder tracks..
Jaune meanwhile took off his trench coat and draped it over his shoulders and started rolling up the sleeves of his double-breasted jacket.
"Ruby get out of there"said Yang as she was getting up from the ground.
"I'm trying!"said Ruby as she was trying to get her Cape loose.
The deathstalker saw an opportunity and began to raise its stinger towards Ruby with the intention of skewering her.
"RUBY!"yelled Yang has Ruby closed her eyes waiting for the worst.
But the worst never happened...
"I swear you you are too stupidly brave for your own good!"said Jaune's voice as Ruby opened her eyes...
It was revealed that he stopped the stinger from hitting her by using Wado Ichimonji and his left arm infused with Armament Haki!
"Jaune why is your arm all mentally?!"asked Ruby.
'Great in saving her life I accidentally revealed my Haki! I can't say this is a skill I honed over years since no normal human without Aura should be able to do that so let's just tell a little white lie.' thought Jaune before he decided to answer Ruby.
"This is my semblance hardening! I can harden my body and weapons to an inhuman level. I discovered my semblance as I was walking through the woods with Pyrrah."said Jaune trying his best not to do that bad habit he does when he lies.
"Woah..."said Yang and she was impressed.
"Now as for you I think it's payback time for throwing me through the forest and trying to kill Ruby!"said Jaune as he used his right hand to grab Emna.
"I still can't fully control this sword but I know it's cutting power is more than enough for you!"said Jaune as he pulled out Emna from its scabbard and held it high in the air.
Sure enough within a few seconds of being pulled out of its scabbard, A purple flame like design appeared on Enma's blade. Withing seconds Jaune was surrounded by purple energy that seem to move like flames.
"What?!"asked Ruby as she was wondering what was going on.
Meanwhile everyone else at the ruins were just a surprise as Ruby as they couldn't believe what was going on as soon as Jaune drew Enma.
Weiss particularly was curious. When she saw Wado Ichimonji and Emna on Jaune's belt she assumed they were just some family heirloom katanas and that there was nothing special about them. Now she was wondering if they were some kind of secret project from Atlas?!
Pyrrah was shock as well. She knew from her skills and experience alone that Wado Ichimonji and Emna must have been made by some great sword maker as you could tell they were high quality just from the hilts alone. Now she began wondering if there was more to the story...
"What is going on with that sword?! Is it infused with some kind of dust or is it some secret project from Atlas?!"asked Weiss who just thought it was a normal sword until now
"Cool!"said Nora as while she was impressed she wasn't as shocked as the others.
Meanwhile Blake was shivering at the site of Enma, she didn't know why but her instincts were telling her that sword was dangerous.
"Look at his arm!"Yelled Ren as everyone looked at Jaune's right arm and began noticing that it was shrinking!
This caused them great shock as they couldn't believe what they were seeing as their friends arm was shrinking in muscle mass as he appeared to be losing muscle at an accelerated rate.
-=O
Meanwhile back of the cliff Headmaster Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch who had watched everything unfold through the cameras on the forest.
They were currently watching Jaune using Emna and were surprised as well to see that his arm using the sword was shrinking in muscle mass!
"Professor Ozpin what is with that sword?!"said Glynda as she was wondering how a mere katana could make a student's arm shrink just by holding it.
Ozpin had his own series but he knew he needed to ask Mr Arc in order to confirm his theories.
"I don't know Glynda but I'm pretty sure Mr Arc knows what's going on with that sword of his."
-=O
'Man I knew it...Emna is starting to act like the real Emna! Or maybe it has become Enma?.. Anyway I better cut that Deathstalker quickly before Enma completely drains me of my Haki!' thought Jaune as he get a slashing motion with Emna!
This caused a wave of slashing energy to hit the ground and start cutting the nevermore's feathers like they were nothing.
The Deathstalker was confused as to what was going on until it's right pincer was cut off clean in half by the wave of energy wave from Enma. This in turn caused the Grimm great pain as it began screaming!
Meanwhile everyone besides Jaune was wondering what was going on as to them, Emna was just a normal looking katana with no obvious appearances that that showed it used dust.
There were no signs it was a mecha shift like their weapons look just like a normal katana from before the Great War? But these abilities it was displaying?! If Enma is capable of that what is what is Wado Ichimonji capable of?!
"Is that sword infused with dust?!"asked Weiss as she couldn't believe what she just saw even though she saw it with her own two eyes.
"What is that sword?!"asked Yang.
"That sword...it's dangerous..."said Blake under her breath as she was holding her right arm tightly.
As for Jaune he was satisfied with what he had done but at the same time frustrated as he still hasn't fully tamed Enma.
"Good now... GIVE IT BACK!"yelled Jaune at Emna causing it to stop releasing it's energy which returned his arm to normal a few seconds later.
This cause the people behind them even more confusion as he had just yelled at his sword and by yelling at it like it was a person caused it to stop releasing it's weird energy and return his arm to normal.
They had a lot of questions they just didn't know if now it wasn't appropriate time to get the answers...
"Ruby that Deathstalker is only going to be confused for a few seconds let's get back to the others."said Jaune.
"...Yeah!"said Ruby who was distracted for a moment as she had more questions than answers about her friend Jaune.
Jaune and Ruby quickly ran back to the group as the grimm were preparing for their counter-attack. Jaune saw the shocked faces of his new friends and knew he probably had some explaining to do but that wasn't important right now.
"Ruby I'm so glad you're okay."said Yang as she hugged her sister.
"Look let's get out of here alive and let's focus on what I did later okay!"yelled Jaune snapping them back to attention on what is going on.
"I agree we need to get out of here as we have no reason to fight those Grimm. I say we just get our chest pieces and get out of here back to the cliff."said Weiss.
"Yeah come on Jaune."said Ruby as she and Jaune ran towards the ruins and picked up their own chess pieces with Ruby picking up a golden Knight and Jaune picking up a golden Rook.
With their chess pieces in hand everyone began making their way back towards the cliff where they had originally been thrown into the forest.
"What's wrong?"asked Blake has she noticed that Yang seem to be distracted.
Yang was looking at Ruby and noticing how she was adapting to the situation at hand and was actually quite proud of her.
"Oh it's nothing."said Yang with Blake having a knowing smile as she seemed to already know the answer.
The teens continue running and running until they made it back to the cliff where there was a bunch of ruins just beneath it.
The Nevermore fired more of its feathers and running Nora quickly evaded each and every one of them as Nora converted her weapon Manghild to bazooka mode and began firing at the nevermore with heart stamped rockets.
The never more retreated to the tower of the ruins as a deathstalker helped get surround the teens on both sides.
"Run and fire!"ordered Jaune as everyone began using their weapons on both Grimm to try to take them down.
Ren was using his dual weapon Swormflower to fire blast of concentrated dust at the deathstalker's wound, causing a great pain and damage.
Pyrrah, Blake, and Nora meanwhile we're firing at the nevermore.
Soon the group split up to two four-man team. One team consisting of Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang while the second team consisted of Jaune, Nora, Pyrrah, and Ren.
Ruby and her group would handle the Nevermore!
Jaune and his group would handle the Deathstalker!
As Ruby and her group began engaging the Nevermore in the ruins, Jaune and his group again engaging the deathstalker near the ruins.
Nora turned her weapon back into its Hammer mode and struck the deathstalker on its head causing it a moment of confusion as Pyrrah used her weapons Milo and Akouo and began shooting at the creatures eyes in order to blind it.
"Nora, Pyrrah, Ren keep it in one spot so I can cut it in half!"said Jaune as he took a fighting position from a sword school he couldn't remember the name of as it was too hard to remember.
Jaune took a deep breath and held his breath in his mouth causing his lungs to expand and his blood to start moving at a fast place as all of his muscles began working at the same time.
Slowly he pulled out Emna and once again it began radiating it's sinister purple energy
"Get out of the way!"yelled Jaune causing his group to get out of the way as he used the most famous technique by legendary sword Saint Sasaki Kojiro.
Jaune ran towards the Deathstalker lowering his blade as far as possible and as soon as he was near it's mandibles he released the legendary sword technique by bringing the blade up as fast as he possibly could!
"Tsubame Gaeshi!" said Jaune as he uste the legendary technique that could even cut a swallow in mid-air to cut the Deathstalker clean in two.
With Emna's power and the legendary move on his side the deathstalker fell dead revealing that it was split in half all the way to its tail, which was the only thing still intact.
"Hah... hah... hah... I'm still not strong enough."said Jaune as he was sweating and panting like crazy as whenever he used that technique it used a lot of energy making him extremely tired after he was done.
"Jaune are you okay?"asked Pyrrah as she and Ren helped him up.
"Yeah... it's just whenever I use that technique it uses every muscle in my body so I'm always very tired when I done using it."said Jaune as he was still panting like crazy.
Meanwhile Ruby and her group managed to pin the Nevermore to the cliff as ran up the cliff as fast as she could with the help of Weiss's semblance and blasts from Crescent Rose as she began running up to Cliff with the Nevermore's throat stuck in Crescent Rose's blade.
As soon as Ruby got up high on the cliff she did a swift motion cutting the nevermore's head clean off killing it instantly!
Jaune and the others were impressed as Ruby basically proved herself that she deserved to be here despite being two years younger with what she did at that very moment.
'I still need to get a lot stronger if I want to fully tame Emna as if it wasn't for Wado Ichimonji I couldn't even hold Emna properly...' thought Jaune as Ruby looked at everyone else from down below.
-=O=-
Hours later at the auditorium at Beacon Academy headmaster Ozpin was announcing the teams and Soon it was Jaune and his groups turn.
"Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrah Niko's, Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieve the golden Rook pieces. From this day forward you JNPR, led by...Jaune Arc."announced Ozpin surprising Jaune as he did not expect to be the leader.
"Congratulations young man."said Ozpin as Pyrrah playfully punched Jaune in the arm before they got off stage.
Ruby and the others were the final people to be announced to be a team.
"And finally Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieve the golden Knight pieces. Form this day forward you will work together as team RWBY, led by Ruby Rose."announced Ozpin surprising Weiss but exciting Ruby.
"I'm so proud of you."said Yang as she hugged her sister.
A short while later the ceremony concluded and everyone was heading to their assigned dorm rooms when team JNPR right into Headmaster Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch.
"Mr Arc there's something I want to discuss with you in my office... alone. Will you please follow me and Professor Goodwitch to my office on top of Beacon tower?"
Jaune could tell this was not a request but in order so he let out a sigh of frustration before answering.
"Yeah Headmaster."said Jaune as he began following the two professors as his team looked at him with worry before they walked into their dorm room as they were tired and they needed some sleep.
Pyrrah was the last one to go in the dorm room but Jaune just gave her a thumbs up before disappearing indicating he would be just fine.
"What a dork."said Pyrrah playfully as she walked into team JNPR's dorm room.
Meanwhile Jaune and the professors were on an elevator that led to the top floor of Beacon Tower and the silence with certainly starting to get to Jaune.
As they reach the headmasters office they all walk to the respective positions as Jaune took a seat next to Ozpin's desk well the man in question took a seat in his regular chair.
"I will get straight to the point Mr Arc. Why don't you begin telling me everything about your swords Wado Ichimonji and Emna."said Ozpin as he leaned on his desk with his fingers interlocked.
Jaune just swallowed a huge lump in his throat as he knew this was an interrogation... and he didn't know how he was going to get out of this...
Hey guys PrimusPilus here with some news.
I kept my promise when I said I would update tomorrow which is today and I did and I think I did it in a big way.
Jaune is strong in the story but he is still growing as a swordsman as he has not fully tamed Enma.
