[Western Front: Winter 1918]

It was another cold day on the Eastern front as the Allied Powers push the Central Powers back further and further with the goal of reaching Berlin, Germany and the other capitals of the Central Powers.

It has nearly been four years of vicious brutal trench warfare as well as other innovative weapons used during the war including chemicals such as mustard gas and vicious attacks by German Stormtroopers in the hell holes that were known as the trenches.

It has only been about a year since the Americans and the American military entered the war after the Germans sent a secret telegram to the Mexican government with plans to do a two-way assault on the United States as well as unrestricted German submarine attacks on American vessels.

For many young Americans they thought it was the adventure of a lifetime as they truly did not know the horrors of what was later to be known as the Great war.

Luckily for one captain Jaune Arc, a pilot for the American air Force and one of the first individuals to be considered an ace with 68 confirmed kills in aerial dog fights, although the thing about Jaune Arc was that he wasn't American or even from Earth for that matter.

Currently the young eighteen year old flying ace was drinking up a cup of hot cocoa next to his modified SPAD S.XIII that was painted yellow with the symbols of the arc family crest on both wings as well as the tail in midnight black with the number seven painted nearby in a similar color.

'It has been eight months, two weeks, three day, and twelve hours since I added up on this planet and somehow ended up fighting in this vicious war.' thought Jaune as he took another sip of his hot cocoa as he was waiting for orders to go out again and fly to take out more enemy aircraft.

Jaune could still recall the day he ended up on Earth and the circumstances that allowed him to become an American pilot for what was possibly of war that rivaled the Great war on Remnant.

[Flashback]

Jaune was just a first year student at Beacon Academy training to be a future huntsman, the protectors of humanity against the creatures of Grimm that were considered the best of the best.

Unlike many of his fellow students Jaune had no actual training as he had never gone to a combat school before entering so the only way he got in was by cheating.

All Jaune ever wanted to be was to be a huntsman and to help people like the heroes in the stories his parents used to tell him about at bedtime when they were describing how great the Arc family is and the important events they played throughout the history of Remnant and the kingdom of Vale.

But unfortunately for Jaune, when it was time for him to enroll in combat class his parents absolutely refused on the basis that he was the heir to the Arc family name as the only male as the rest of his siblings were girls, all seven of them. Jaune tried to protest but his parents were not having it as they were what many would call extremely overprotective over their children and especially their young son.

So through less than legal means Jaune acquired fake transcripts that he sent to Beacon Academy as it was checking transcripts for the next generation of first years to join their ranks and luckily for him they managed to pass through the verification process with little to no issue.

With his deceit a success Jaune took the family sword and heirloom Crocea Mors and whatever else you could take with them and headed out towards Beacon without his family's knowledge.

Unfortunately for Jaune he never imagine how hard it would be at Beacon especially since he had little to no training that made him qualified to be there.

He was without a doubt the weakest of the first years as he had no technique or skills as they were never honed through the combat schools like a normal huntsman in training would.

Luckily for Jaune he had natural leadership skills and was a great strategist which helped him make up for the lack of skills to use his sword and shield properly.

He also had great friends which consisted of his team in which he was the leader team JNPR. Which consisted of himself, the pancake loving hammer wielding Nora Valkyrie, famous Mistralian champion and overall celebrity Pyrrah Niko's, and the quiet and stealthy childhood friend of Nora, Lie Ren.

He also had great friends in his unofficial sister team known as team RWBY. Which consisted of the leader of team RWBY and the first friend he made at Beacon Ruby Rose, the cold and harsh heiress of the Schnee Dust company Weiss Schnee, the mysterious and hardly talkative Blake Belladonna, and Ruby's powerhouse sister Yang Xiao Long.

To Jaune even though some of them never talk to him and we're straight out cold to him [Weiss and Blake] Jaune nevertheless considered them friends and sort of a second family while he was at Beacon.

But even with such great people by his side they were still many struggles that he faced on a daily basis thanks to his lack of skills. For one thing he was the favorite target of resident bully Cardin Winchester and his cronies of team CRDL.

He was also struggling in every single class especially in combat class led by the beautiful but extremely harsh teacher known as Professor Glynda Goodwitch. Jaune lost every single sparring match he was faced against and Cardin just couldn't help but humiliate him every single time they were pitted against one another.

He was also struggling and Professor Peter Port's maintenance class as Jaune had absolutely no idea how to maintain the sharpness of his blade or the metal mechanics of his shield.

The only class he seemed to be doing well in was in Dr. Bartholomew Oobleck's class on the history of Remnant as Jaune knew much of remnants history thanks to the many stories he was told to by his family about his various ancestors exploits.

But soon grades came in an Jaune knew he needed to make a very special device for Professor ports class in order to pass it otherwise he would end up failing the first semester.

Jaune could still recall the conversation at the cafeteria the day that led him to where he is now.

"Come on Weiss please!"begged on Jaune Arc who was on his knees in a gesture that said that he was desperate and out of options.

"For the last time Arc while I appreciate you not calling me snow angel the answer is still no!said Weiss who was extremely annoyed with Jaune as he has been asking her all day for some dust.

"And to this day you still wonder why people call you the Ice Queen."said Yang bluntly as she, her team, and Jaune's team looked at the pair.

"...I...I just don't trust this don't with highly expensive and highly experimental dust that my family has been working on..."said Weiss in a pout trying to justify her actions.

"Come on Weiss Jaune is on his knees begging since if he doesn't pass the next assignment and Professor ports class he's going to end up failing the first semester."said Ruby who was trying to help out Jaune.

"Ruby this dust it's still under development and even I'm not sure whether we'll do."argued Weiss.

"Jaune promise that he would be extremely careful with it and he only needs a little bit of it to finish his project. Come on Weiss try not to be so cold for once and help him out."said Pyrrah, who wanted to help Jaune put since she had a little not so secret crush on him.

"Yeah help out fearless leader Ice Queen, otherwise you're just going to prove Yang right."said Nora as she was taking another bite of the pancake she was eating.

"Nora please do not talk with your mouth full."scolded Ren.

"...Fine, but only because you're starting to turn everyone against me...so here."said Weiss as she handed Jaune a small vial full of the experimental dust.

"Thanks Weiss... I'll get to work right away since the project is due tomorrow."said Jaune as he quickly got up from his kneeling position, gently grab the dust from Weiss's hand, and made his way out of the cafeteria as fast as he could so he can get to Professor Port's classroom to finish his project.

"Dolt..."said Weiss as she finally felt comfortable finishing her lunch as she did what everyone was asking.

Meanwhile Jaune made his way to his locker where he quickly typed in the combination and opened it up to take out a box like device made completely out of metal.

"With this experimental dust I will finally be able to imbue my sword with long range properties allowing me to launch long-range attacks."said Jaune as he took the box and headed into the classroom.

Once he arrived where he usually Jaune pulled out several tools and began to fix the dust into the metal box. About ten to fifteen minutes later he was done as he screwed in the final screw to make sure that the dust file was nice and tight.

"Phew finally finished...now let's turn this thing on and see if it works."said Jaune as he turned on the device with the press of a button that he had installed on it.

At first everything seemed to be going well as the dust was glowing and by the sounds of machine was making everything seem to be completely operational. But soon problem started to rise as the machine began making sounds that it shouldn't have been making and cracks on the vial of dust began to appear.

"That's not good!"was all Jaune could say before the machine exploded creating many colorful waves of energy before it imploded on himself causing almost everything in the room to envelop upon itself.

A few minutes later the smoke dissipated and was revealed that little to no damage happened in the room as the only things that appeared to be gone was the machine...and Jaune Arc.

[Flashback End]

"And that's how I ended up in New York or as I would later know it as New York City when I woke up in that empty lot surrounded by all those children who are looking at me like I was some alien or something because of my weird clothing or at least that's what they told me."said Jaune as he took another sip of his hot cocoa as this particular day was extremely cold and he was glad he was in the trenches where his fellow Allied soldiers must be suffering by now.

"I spent weeks on the street, panhandling handling and stealing food from local markets just to get by."said Jaune as he recalled the events that got him into the military and eventually the air force.

As Jaune was hiding from a butcher who is chasing after him after Jaune had stolen some salami he ended up meeting someone who would change his life forever. As Jaune hey talked into an alleyway just as the butcher passed by chasing after him with the large butcher knife he let out a sigh of relief as he seemed to have gotten away until he noticed he wasn't the only one in the alley.

There just a few feet away from him clenching his chest from what appeared to be a bullet wound was a smartly dressed gentleman who looked like he was in clear pain.

Being the kind hearted individual that he is Jaune offered his help and the gentleman who he later learned was named Leo Falcone told Jaune to take him to a doctor who owed him some favors.

It took twenty minutes for Jaune to get Leo to the doctor and luckily he did it just in the nick of time as the doctor managed to successfully remove the bullet and close the wound successfully saving Leo's life.

Jaune left without saying a word and was later approached by two smartly dressed gentlemen kindly "persuaded" Jaune to come with them. It was later at a Italian restaurant that he learned that Leo was a Capo for one of the most powerful crime families and all of New York City.

Leo wanted to repay his gratitude as if it wasn't for Jaune he would surely be dead. Leo treated him to a meal and got Jaune some fresh clothes as Jaune had been wearing the same hoodie and jeans for weeks now and they started to smell.

Jaune could still recall the shower he took before putting on the new clean clothes and it was the best shower he ever took.

Leo took a shine to Jaune and even decided to get him into shape. Soon Jaune was taking boxing and wrestling lessons as well as Jiu-Jitsu lessons all courtesy of Leo. Jaune was a natural as he quickly picked up on everything it was time as for the first time in his life he was at the same level as his peers. Many of his trainers even said that he could go pro one day if he really dedicated everything to fighting and training.

Now while Leo was a Capo and a wise guy he didn't want that kind of life for his savior as he knew his enemies would go after Jaune so Leo decided to get Jaune and the safest place he could think of... the military.

With the help of a forger in his outfit Leo had a fake birth certificate identifying Jaune as an American as well as a fake social security card made.

Once everything was needed Leo had another meeting with Jaune who instructed him to go to a recruiter who was an old childhood friend of his who wouldn't look too past the fake birth certificate and social security and would quickly enlist Jaune into the military.

Jaune accepted it since he was tired of living on the streets and just wanted a nice warm bed to lay on so that day Jaune went to that recruiter and after a few questions he was enlisted into the military.

Around the same time America was preparing to enter the Great war after several incidents involving the Germans. Around this time Great Britain and France asked for assistance by not only sending soldiers into the trenches but also asked the Americans to train pilots as they realize that Aerial warfare would play a significant role thanks to prior experience from earlier battles and campaigns.

Jaune was one of the first of volunteer as it extremely interested him. Soon Jaune was one of the first who went to Canada to take the six week primary training where he learned a lot about gunnery and how to fly a plane.

Then Jaune was sent to Rockwell Field where he learned pursuit training. The nine weeks training was practical ground and air training. Jaune learned about that'll work in squadrons, the assembly of motors, airplanes, and radios. Formation flying as well as German military organization, German tactic, and German aircrafts. Finally Jaune and the other trainings who did not wash out yet learn fighting methods, maneuvers, attack, and come by while alone and in formation.

Once all the necessary training and paperwork was completed Jaune was one of the first pilots sent to the front lines to participate in the Great war for the Allied Powers, or better known as the Allies

"Jaune stop daydreaming and getting your plane stat! Some of our men have been ambushed by enemy Faulkner planes nearby!"Yelled a man who based on how he was dressed and how he behaved that he was clearly a commanding Officer.

"Yes Major Jensen!"Yelled Jaune as he finished his cup of hot cocoa and got into his plane along with several other pilots who were preparing for takeoff.

Once inside the cockpit Jaune make sure that his side on which consisted of a m1911 was fully loaded and operational. Once he saw that it's gone was ready and working Jaune began to check of the engines and gunnery on his plane were up to operational standards.

"Clear!"yelled Jaune as the blades of his propeller started turning faster and faster.

Once they were given the signal Jaune and a squadron took off and headed to the nearby coordinates that they were instructed to do to give support to their fellow allied soldiers that were currently overwhelmed by enemy air power.

"Well there goes yellow death."said one of the soldiers to the base to Major Jensen.

"Yeah and with someone like him by our side I doubt even the Red Baron can take him on in an aerial dog fight."said the major who was proud to have someone like Jaune under his command.

Hey guys PrimusPilus here to give his two cents. I decided to write this story since I am a huge history buff and I'm particularly fond of my knowledge of the Great War or as many know it as today world war 1. The planes of World War 1 are one of my favorite subjects as I love learning about some of the best fighter pilots of the war as well as the planes they flew that got them there.

Now the reason Jaune is flying a SPAD S.XIII is because it is one of the most famous planes used by the American side during the war as well as its French origin since Jaune is French for yellow.

Next chapter should be up soon and if you have any suggestions for the story I am all ears.

Until then this is PrimusPilus signing out.
