Hello again my dear readers. I am pleased to announce that i have updated so soon! I know there was at least one person that has been thinking to themselves 'I'm tired of reading 'The Live' over and over again.' So, i will make this clear on this chapter. And another poll has been put up. Dont worry, i know how to handle it this time. So no more mishaps. And to those of you who are confused about some of the aspects. Hopefully this chapter will answer at least some of the questions you have.
Nexonus: Shut up and start the chapter already
Konshiro: Oh yeah, he's still here
Nexonus: What the hell's that supposed to mean!?
Konshiro: Nothing. Nothing. Let's just get back to the story.

"So...how have you been?" 'The Being' Asked in a sort of awkward silence.
"About as good as an outcast child can be. You?" 'The Live' said quite coldly.
"Oh pretty good. Managed a few planets here, destroyed a couple of universes there. I'ts all really easy for me. And why all the seriousness. I'm just looking after my Son. And i haven't given you a proper name yet, have I?" 'The Being asked, gaining a confused expression...Or what would be a confused expression. 'The Being was actually just a figure of white that had a black outline. He was about Seven feet tall, and had an average build about him-er-or them, there really cant be a gender for their kind of...Anatomy. But in any case, his entire body had a black outline, as if to accentuate his figure.
"Then i suppose that you should give yourself one as well." 'The Live' said, trying not to get on his father's bad side. Because as strong as he was. He was nowhere near the level of strength his father was. Not even before he was stripped of his place in the heavens.
"Hm, yes. That seems only fair. Though i believe my name should be Dux Omnium. Has a nice ring to it don't you think?" 'The Being', now addressed as Omnium said. And if 'The Live' was amused at the narcissism, he wasn't showing it.
"Well. as for your name..." Omnium started to think, but this entire time, 'The Live' was growing more irritated by the second.
"What are you even doing here? Are you here to finish me off? Because i just want you to know that i wont go down without a fight." 'The Live' said, placing himself into a battle position. But all Omnium did was look on in what seemed to be amusement.
"Strait to the point i see. Well if you must know. i Came here to Help you."
"That's a load of lies. Why would you help someone who you banished for No apparent reason." 'The Live' said, voice full of malice. Omnium just seemed to wave it off.
"Well, from what i've seen, you have no chance of defeating me...At all, in the foreseeable future. So i thought, 'Hey, why not train up this lowlife to be a formidable challenge for me?' And so i'm here. And how about Jaune for a name? Jaune...Noir. Yes that shall be your name." Omnium said, snapping his fingers.
"Fine. Now how are you going to help me?" 'The Live', now associated as Jaune asked. And although he wouldn't admit it in front of his father, he actually liked the name. That, and he still has to keep in mind the gap between them in power...Even though he finds his fathers reasoning completely degrading.
"I am going to allow you some of your powers back. like controlling the elements, time dilation, and I guess i can allow a little something else. Here." Omnium said, snapping his fingers once again, and then Jaune felt a surge of power flow through him. And not only that, but he felt his mind become, much more...open? is that the word?
"I see your confused. Well, since i know just pure strength and speed aren't enough to even begin to entertain me. i have allowed that if you ever need information, just ask for it, and the answer will appear within your mind. And if i may suggest. tone down your power a bit. Because something like that" Omnium said, gesturing to the partly destroyed forest. "Doesn't just go unnoticed. And since you already did this, i will help. Firstly, when you speak to this woman again, i will want you to say that it was your Semblance. And that Your Semblance is to be able to amplify your strength. And before i go, i want you to say that your family was part of one of the settlements out here and they were killed by the Grim. Now i'm sure that you have many questions, But I have other business to attend." Omnium instructed, turning around to leave, but stopped to look at Jaune again. "Oh yes, i almost forgot. here. that should cover up your Semblance story. Now, i want you to train hard for our battle. Because i want the entire Multiverse to see you fall to your knees and admit defeat. For that is your Destiny." Omnium stated, stretching his arm out to point at him before Jaune was engulfed in a white light
And just like that, they were gone, and Jaune used his new searching capabilities to figure out what some of the things that his father had told him about while they were talking. But that last word left a bad taste in his mouth. So when time started to move again, he once again faced Summer and prepared to give the only information he got from his "All Mighty Creator" Because whatever Omnium says, is absolute. And any who even question His word will be dealt with in an ungodly amount of torture and suffering.
"..."
"I'm Waiting." Summer said, tapping her finger on her still crossed arms.
"well...That, was my Semblance. It allows me to amplify my strength speed, durability, and reflexes." Jaune said, going back to his calm and serene mood from moments ago. And While Summer caught on to this, she said nothing of it.
"Your Semblance? Well, it's nothing too new for me. But i must say" Summer said, looking at the destruction in front of her. "Its certainly something i wasnt expecting from a boy of your age." Summer concluded, looking back to Jaune. "But before anything else happens, i just want to get some things out of the way. So..." Summer started, calming dawn and kneeling down to Jaunes height. "What's you name?"
"...*sigh* My name is Jaune. Jaune Noir." Jaune said, looking from his feet to her eyes. He really couldn't think of another name for the life of him. And if his father wanted him to use the name, he's certainly not going to disobey. Not for now at least,
"Jaune Noir huh? So where are you from exactly? If you don't mind me asking." Summer questioned, keeping her voice soft, as to try and give some comfort to the 'Small Child'.
"i come from these woods. A small settlement that was trying to forge itself here. But sadly...the village was overrun with grim before we were even finished with the construction. My parents were part of the defenses. But they opted to try and protect me instead. They fought so hard. But just like everyone else...They were torn and ripped to shreds before my eyes. And their screams and wails of pain vibrated in my mind. So when the Grim turned on me, i was stuck between two things. To flee and test my luck in outrunning them, or fight." At this, Jaune clenched his fists and jaw, his Aura flaring up as he did so. And it was this that caught Summer off guard. He had a lot of Aura. Like, an uncanny amount of it...he had even more than she did...
"And it was on that day that i discovered my power. I didn't know what it was at first, but i can say for certain that it's my Semblance. But i don't know the full extent of it just yet; This is actually the first time i've applied it to another human being.(A/N:Hehe)" Jaune concluded, easing his muscled, and his Aura receding back into his body. "And although it may have been a brash but necessary call, i'm a bit...scared that my power can do that to someone. I don't want to kill anybody. I want to..." Jaune started again, thinking about his father and what they would do to his creations when they kill him. "I want to protect everyone. From any threat that may come their way." Jaune finished, a fire-y determination in his cobalt eyes. Summer just looked on and saw a bit of her brother in him...or at least when he was younger that is.
"do you really want to protect people?" Summer asked after a small while. And Jaune just nodded curtly. the fire in his eyes ever growing. "Well then, come with me. I want to introduce you to a profession that i am very fond of; and if your dream is what you say it is, then it's perfect for you." Summer stated, turning around to see a Flying machine coming towards them. And Jaune's curiosity was peaked.
"What would that be?" Jaune asked as the Machine reached their destination and landed in the clearing in front of them. Summer merely turned her head to him, walking towards the big construction of metal.
"What you want to be Jaune, is a person fully dedicated to defending Humanity from people like that Tyrian guy. A Shield to defend from the creatures of darkness such as the Grim." Summer said, making jaune think back to those two enemies he faced(and defeated) just a bit ago.
"You Jaune want to be someone like me..."
"A Huntsman."

Okay, another chapter done so quickly. But it was a short one, granted. I wont be updating this frequently though, so i wouldn't get my hopes up, sorry. And i know that this is seeming a bit cut and dry. And i'm sorry for that too. But i promise as time goes on, i will get better. So in the next chapter, were going to be meeting the Rose/Xiao-Long/Branwen family. Yay. And also, to put in a small bit of info, this story was actually made up when i first started high school. Back when i hadn't discovered this site. But there is something that i haven't addressed yet. and that's the fact that you guys have been such an inspiration. Every one of you guys has actually helped me with my confidence in this story. So keep being awesome people! I will be available if you want to PM me. This is Konshiro signing off for now, Toodles!
