Legends...
Legends…
Legends…
'Lege- Ah! Here it is! 'thought Jaune as he found what he was looking for as he looked over the books, taking out the book off the shelve. He was currently in the library, in the myths section that hold books like these here. Jaune wasn't sure why Gil would make him search for this particular book but he's only trying to help him right?
He looked at the book cover. Great Legends from Age of the Gods was the title of the book, it made him curious about what information it holds inside.
'Gil? Is this it?" he asked the heroic spirit.
[ Yup! This is it. Good thing your library had a copy of it.]
'Ooookay, not that I'm not happy that I found it but why was I searching for this book again in the first place?
Jaune was sure he could hear a chuckle echo in his mind.
[ Well it's better for you to know who you're talking to in the later future…]
'uh…'
[Just trust me Jaune, okay?]
'...*sigh*… alright..'
[Thanks, Jaune… now, why don't you sign this book out and then we can practice on using my abilities..?] Jaune agreed with that, he went to the front desk and signed the book out. He walked right out of the library.
He managed to find where one of the high-tech training facilities that Beacon boasted. Jaune, at Gil's request reserved one for an hour time slot earlier before going to the library. All of them ran through the same tech as the one in Ms. Goodwitch's combat class, along with some other features.
He began basic stretches together in a pattern before he got ready to train with the Archer class card.
Jaune then walked out of the arena and towards the controls, he began to type in commands.
You see, the 'other features' that the training facilities have is that they can make data constructs to make opponents in order to combat. This way students and teams can practice and train against grimm or even other teams and criminals.
When Jaune was finished putting in the commands for what he wanted, he walked out of the control room and into the area. The ceiling of the arena suddenly changed into a night sky and the training area turned into the familiar trees and ground of the emerald forest.
Turning his head, he saw a white circle appear before the blocks and numbers from before had appeared again. Once they disappeared, standing in the arena was a huge alpha Beowulf with what looks like heavy bone armor and behind it was a pack of Beowulfs, the pack ran from behind it and surrounded Jaune and the Alpha.
The alpha watched Jaune carefully as it tilted its head and craned its neck, snarling at Jaune before its ears perked up the close sound of his beating heart nearby. It wasted no time charging at its only prey within arms reach.
Jaune dodged it and leaped back from it, before the rest of the pack then begun to attack him. a portal formed in front of him as he draws out a greatsword and parries a claw swipe from the first Beowulf to strike at him.
Dodging the wide sweep of claws to his chest, he threw his weapon at it while he evades another swipe from another Beowulf, a gate appearing above it. A spear shot out and impaled it, Jaune jumped and grasp the shaft, he then tore it out of the Beowulf's back. Even without Crocea Mors, he was still able to deal more than enough damage against simple Grimm.
The pack of Beowulfs snarled angrily before swiping their claws in a rush frenzy, earning all a retaliating swing from the spear in the blonde's hand. Some were killed while others jumped back from the attack, pouncing back and forth around its prey. Jaune dodged the snarling slashes, picking it off with his knife as it passed by. Slowly, he was cutting them down,
Jumping back from the blade nearly grazing its nose, the Beowulf howled madly before jumping high up for a descending swipe. A portal formed above Jaune's shoulder and a hammer zipped past his head and into the Grimm's skull, Jaune grabbed the hammer's handle with his right hand. He pulled it back into a swing, smashing two other grimm that pounced at his back.
He called forth another golden portal as he jumped backward into it, disappearing from the Grimm's sight leaving them all confused before he appeared a good distance from them. Portals appeared behind him. One, two, four, seven, twelve, twenty and much more as he creates hundreds of them. With a wave of his hand, Immediately scores of weapons launched themselves at the creatures of darkness.
What happened next wasn't considered to be a fight or even a one-sided battle. No, it was a bloody slaughter as weapons rained down upon the remaining hologram grimm without mercy, Jaune watched with cold dead eyes until they were all dead and no more.
[Well well, it seems someone is getting used to little Gil's power it seems.] A familiar aloof voice echoed in his mind. Jaune froze at the voice in his head, it wasn't Gil that's for sure… it sounded familiar.
" I dunno… humans always seem to surprise me these days" came an aloof voice.
That voice...
He remembered it from his dream before!
[Hello? Hello? Coming in 1,2,3, anyone home?]
'huh?.. yeah! I'm here!'
[Oh good! For a moment there I thought you went brain dead or were just ignoring me like Assassin would do.]
' Oh well sorry for that then. Didn't mean to keep you waiting,'
[Nonsense you were probably in thought… well, that or thinking of a girl like most boys your age would]
'h-hey! was not!'
[Oh ho ho! It seems someone was having naughty thoughts]
'I was not!' the blonde argued, having a massive blush on his face.
[That's what they all say... though if it's women on the mind or you're having problems with, then I wouldn't use Lancer for a while if I were you, Jaune]
'Huh? Why?' now that confused Jaune, why should he have to worry about using Lancer?
[Trust me on this when I say that all Lancers have shitty luck in general, especially when it comes to women]
'…really? It can't be that bad, can it?'
[Kid…. pray that you never run into Diarmuid of the Love Spot… he's the embodiment of a love curse]
'...Why do you make it sound like it'll be the death of me if I meet him?' not quite understanding what's wrong with this Diarmuid guy? He sounds like someone he could ask for some tips
[Because, out of all of the other's heroes in the Lancer class, he's the worst one you could've gotten for a Lancer considering where you are...]
'Where I am...?'
[Jaune... You're in a school… Diarmuid of the Love Spot was able to make women fall for him just by talking and waving to them…think about that for a minute...]
….
…
'Oh dear Oum…' he realized in sheer horror of the possibility of what would happen if he has that Lancer as his own.
[There it is…]
'…..Not to sound rude or not like I don't like the guy but…please tell me he's not the Lancer I have?'
[Fortunately, no… you don't ] Jaune let out a sigh in relief, he like affection but he didn't want to die by it.
'Thank Oum for that… wait... before, you said heroes?'
[Hmm? Right you have only been informed about heroic spirits but not how they became heroic spirits.]
'yeah..'
[Well… the heroic spirits are ones whose deeds that were so great have become legends has been recorded by the world itself and have ascended to the Throne of Heroes]
'Throne of Heroes?' he raised an eyebrow at the title, he remembered Gil talking about it before.
[Yes, the Throne of Heroes where all heroic spirits reside after their death. From the common folk to they whom descended from the gods themselves, so long as their deeds, their very lives, become almost as legends to the inheriting generations that follow they become Heroic Spirits and thus earn a place of residency upon the Throne until such a time as they are summoned by whatever means calls for them…. That is how one becomes a heroic spirit]
'…Whoa... that's…pretty deep'
[Well they didn't become ones by doing anything kid. They didn't think about what would happen to them or their reputation like you kid]
'Hey!... I'm not like that!'
[Oh really?]
'…Okay maybe I am but I changed!"
[Is that so?]
'Yes… besides, now I have a goal.'
[And what is that?]
'You… and all the others in the cards…'
[Hmm?]
'I'll become a hero that'll be worthy of being a heroic spirit like you all'
[….]
'…uh was it something I said?'
[You want to be a hero worthy of being of a heroic spirit?] it asked.
'…Yes' the young arc admitted to the heroic spirit he was talking to, thinking he said something that he wasn't supposed to.
[….hehehahaha!] only for that notion to be thrown out the window as the hero began to erupt in laughter.
[You wish to become a heroic spirit like us? Hahaha!.. You humans always manages to surprise me no matter the reason…]
Jaune smiled at that exclamation, seems that he managed to get in the hero's grace just by being himself, feeling a bit proud that he did.
[That being said... You're still weak] now that brought Jaune's self-esteem down from the good feeling of pride he had earlier.
[ … For now anyway. You're coming along pretty well especially with using Gil's class card. Honestly, I can't wait to see what you do with my class card.]
'Speaking of class card… which are you?' he asked the hero in his mind, he was quite curious who he was talking to.
[Ho? Why aren't you the curious one? Well if you must know, I'm of the Caster class, even if I don't see why I am] the spirit complained.
'So that would make you a spellcaster right?'
[ Well, more or less… well, until you learn of my name when you use my card, I guess you could call me Caster or Casty if you want] the spirit said with a chuckle, Jaune copies his motion as well and chuckled as well.
[Well I guess we can talk later] he said, confusing Jaune.
[I mean, weren't you going to talk to the headmaster of the school?] Caster stated, reminding Jaune. [ Besides you don't want to make that Witch angry now would you, Jauney?] He teased Jaune,
Jaune could only chuckle at Caster's behavior, he then went to gather his bag and water bottle. Sheathing Crocea Mors, Jaune walked towards the door with a new goal to strive towards.
[Outside the training area]
Yellow eyes watched as Jaune walked out of the training room and down the corridor, hands in his pockets and whistling a light tune. It was light and happy, at odds with the massacre of training droids that remained in the training room. Blake Belladonna shook like a leaf, pressed into an alcove just out of sight. Her teeth pressed together, but it felt like she could feel those rattling as well.
All this time, something about Jaune had put her off. Some niggling doubt in the back of her mind that had made her feel on edge ever since his fight with team CRDL. At the time she'd attributed it to the shock of his newfound strength and the weight of his aura. She'd been afraid of what that might mean for her and the others – or so she'd thought.
Now she knew better. After seeing what she had just seen, peeking in through the window on the door… she knew something was wrong with Jaune.
She had to tell the others about what she found out.
Though she did wonder why he was standing there for no reason in silence for the remaining of the time, never knowing about the interaction of Jaune talking to both Gil and the other Heroic Spirit.
[Sometime later, with team RWBY and (J)NPR - JNPR dorm]
In the dorm of (J)NPR was both the team of RWBY and the remaining members of (J)NPR as Yang and Ren were comforting the crying spartan.
"Come on P-money, cheer up. I'm sure that vomit boy will turn around with us" Yang tried to reason with her.
It wasn't long since the group confronted Jaune as they all now felt depressed. The blonde Arc clearly stating that he didn't want anything with them
" How?" Pyrrha looked up to Weiss, as did everyone else, directing their gaze on the Shnee heiress.
" We basically left him to the wolves, we turned our backs to him. I know I treated him the worst out of all us and even I know that he wouldn't want to, from how he acted back there on the rooftop." She stated
"Weiss! How can you say something like that?!" said Ruby, angry at what her partner had said, for it cause Pyrrha to feel even worse than she was already. Before Ruby could say anything else at her partner, she was interrupted.
"No she's right, we all were taken back and felt hurt from him lying to us and cheating his way in while we all worked hard to get where we are currently," Ren stated, with a small frown marring his face.
"Honestly, I was mad too. Angry even, to think I was putting my and more importantly Nora's life, in the hands of someone who lied their way into Beacon." everyone winced at that jab Ren took but he continued as he looks on at his friends.
"If it wasn't for Nora here, I would still be thinking that way." Everyone looked at the bubbly hammer swinging redhead as Ren ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "She said if he didn't belong here, then we would have died when we fought the death stalker during initiation. What she had told me was right, and I realized that what I thought was foolish, for we had endured in a way similar to him," Now everyone was surprised at that.
Ren coughed getting their attention. "Look, beyond all that had happened, Jaune proved that you didn't need transcripts to be here because he proved that he'd care more than any other leader here."
" Hey!"
"Besides Ruby"
With that said, left everyone in thought, did they really thought that little of Jaune just because what he did?
"Well now I feel like shit.." commented Yang, as did some the others at how they treated Jaune so badly.
"We all treated him so poorly and now he doesn't want anything to do with us, he said so himself." Blake pointed out with a seldom expression. " What can we do to change how he sees us, since we didn't think to see from his perceptive?" she said.
Everyone was depressed, she's right. How could they change his mind about them, these thoughts went through their minds before Nora perked up with an idea.
"Hey, I have an idea! Why don't we try talking to those two faunus that Jaune hangs out with? We can ask..er… uh?"
"Nick and Judy" Ren remind her.
"Nick and Judy! To help us!" she said with a megawatt smile as the others were considering the idea actually with sparks of hope and smiles but Weiss thought otherwise.
"Are so sure about that? Yes, they hang out with Arc but that also means they know about us as well." Weiss reasoned, that stopped everyone. Seeing that they thought about it as she continued on. " At this point, they would probably see it as us trying to hurt again, since they're his friends at this point if not his only friends right now."
"B-But we can try, Weiss!" argued Ruby, she really wanted to be friends with Jaune again, she missed her first friend.
" Yeah she's right Weiss, besides we'll never know unless we try right?!" said Yang with a confident smirk, Weiss shook her head at the bombshell blonde but didn't stop her at all.
" Then what should we do to talk with Nick and Judy?" asked Pyrrha who was feeling a much happier than before.
"Leave that to me and Nora," said Yang as everyone looked surprised. " We'll talk to them during the field trip we have tomorrow. We'll be far from anyone and the teachers so, it'll be perfect." She said for she did had a point as the field trip to forever falls would be a good excuse to talk to them.
They just hope that this plan doesn't backfire on them.
[with Jaune, Beacon statue]
After his little training workout, Jaune thought he should go out for a nice walk before he goes back to his dorm. he could go back now, but it'll be awkward and very tense since Jaune and his team weren't on the best of terms right now.
Oh, who was he kidding! Whatever trust and bond he had with them was gone after his secret was out with them, hell the rest of the students sorta or do hate him as the rumor of him cheating his way into Beacon had spread throughout the academy.
Sighed... sometimes he wished things could be simple or go back to before he told them his secret. Then again, if it did go back to before he did, he would never have these cards or even made friends with both Nick and Judy. Two people that actually accept him for.. well, him and past the rumor, even if it's true about him cheating his way into Beacon.
Drawing away from his thoughts did Jaune realized where he walked to. It was the old statue, and not just any statue, but one of the one person he knew very well.
His grandfather, Julius Arc. A hero that fought in the great war that ravaged for twenty years until his grandfather ended it. Bowing his head in tribute to his grandfather as he had been the one that Jaune had looked up to the most.
After what seemed an eternity for the boy, he finally stopped as he looked up and watched the setting sun with a heavy heart, the sun just beginning to set on the horizon and basking the sky in a beautiful color orange hue.
Jaune froze for a moment as he heard something… A song?
Hmm? wait? That voice sounds closely similar to… Nick? he followed the voice as it started to become more lucid for him to hear.
I'll go anywhere with the things I learned here.
I'll show you that I can make the dream called happiness come true.
Even if I'm separated from you, no matter how far away we go.
I'm going to live in a new morning.
Jaune stopped in place as he listened to the song being sung from the faunus. It sounded so lovely… but it sounded so sad as well.
Even if I'm alone, I'll go, even if I want to die.
I can hear your voice, saying I shouldn't die.
Even if it's difficult, even if I cry from loneliness
I can feel warmth from deep inside my heart.
Jaune was sure he was in tears since he could hardly see. Jaune could feel the amount of emotion being let out into the song from Nick, he could see that he wasn't the only one that was in tears as twin streams flowed down the fox faunus's face.
Going round-and-round and flowing, time is ever-changing.
I can't remember what happened anymore, but
If I try and close my eyes, I can hear someone's laughing voice
For some reason, now, that is My Most Precious Treasure.
Hearing the song Jaune walked forward but he flinched once he stepped on a patch of branches from the bushes. Nick was quick to stop singing as he turned towards where Jaune currently is.
"Jaune?" Nick said with surprised, seeing his friend there standing behind a bush with an embarrassed expression on his face.
" Uh… hey, Nick!" he awkwardly greeted Nick as he walked into sight from the bushes. Nick wasn't sure on what to say, though he was embarrassed since his new friend heard him singing even when he took great precaution to make sure no one could find or hear him.
(Cue Don't speak her name! – Fire Emblem Awakening)
He sighed with a low head before lifting it up to Jaune with his usual smirk, only this one didn't carry anything but a hint of sadness, along with, what Jaune could recognize since he wore it many times himself, self-loathing. "Heh, never thought I see you here of all people, Jaune" he said, trying to put up a front.
"Yeah…" he said, looking away back at the statue, then he looked back at Nick.
"So.. what brings you here anyway Jaune?" Nick asked
"Me? Oh nothing, just on a walk. Needed to clear my mind and shuffled my thoughts."
"Is that so?" Nick said, blinking as he looked towards the sky. Jaune looked at him, a bit worried since this isn't how his friend usually acts, the calm and smooth fox faunus he was is entirely different from what he looked now.
"Hey... Nick?" he called out to the faunus.
"Yeah?" responded.
"What was that song you were singing earlier? I heard it before and it sounded… quite sad and lonely." Nick flinched slightly.
"Hmph, so you heard it huh?" Jaune nodding as Nick then sighed. Rubbing his eyes with his fingers before looking at the floor in thought.
"Y-you don't have to tell-"
"No…. no, it's alright, I'll tell you." He said, surprising Jaune as Nick motion him to come closer. Jaune did as small lights flew through the air around them, Nick sat down as Jaune did the same.
"*sigh*...It's already been ten years…"
" Ten years?" Jaune repeated.
" The song you heard... It was sung by my mother…" he said, shocking Jaune and made him feel guilty for bringing up bad memories.
"Oh… I'm sorry for bringing up bad memories Nick"
"Don't be Jaune… I'm over it… I can't dwell on the past anymore." He stared at the little lights that fly around them, they were fireflies. "This song... It's all I have left of my mother…ten years and a month after this day. The day that I left my mother and the same day that I lost her…"
"…." Jaune stayed silent, not expecting this from the Fox.
Nick chuckled, it sounded hollow. " This is the song my mother sang to me every night before... it tells a story of a girl who must be separated from a loved one... I never understood why it did. Now that I'm here, I do."
"…"
"Jaune… you want to know why I decided to become a huntsman?" He asked the young Arc. Not one word was uttered from Jaune but he nodded nonetheless.
"When I was a child… I wanted to become a lawyer, a police officer, a detective. Anything to become a famous person that faunus could look up too and help relations between humans and faunus." He revealed to Jaune, who has shock written on his face from this. He wasn't expecting this from Nick...Judy he could see but from Nick? Never could he have even imagined it.
"I didn't know my father. My mother said he was a great huntsman, a human huntsmen at that. He left us when I was young and never came back. My mother wept when she heard of his death and was given his weapon." Nick stared at the floor, while Jaune stayed silent as he knew what it felt to not have a father there for him.
"I'd tried to fit in with the others, but both humans and other faunus didn't trust me because of what I am. The one time I thought that I'd be accepted and be on my way to becoming something great… I learned how cruel this world really is. I tried to be a boy scout at first, a really good one...dear Oum, I didn't know how stupid I was." He said as his eyes shut tight with disgust.
"When I arrived for the meeting, I realized that I was the only faunus of all Boy Scouts. I took the oath, but the other boy scouts, that all had nasty attitudes, put a muzzle on me and began to laugh. I was so embarrassed and scared, that I ran out crying. After that, I never wanted to be a Boy Scout again, or anything at all. My hope and belief was lost after that night.
"That night was my first taste of discrimination from humans." Jaune clenched his hand at the mental image of a young Nick having his belief rattled and lost.
"Though… my mother... she was there for me after I began to lose my hope. This song that she sang to me every time that I was sad or was scared, it calmed me down and made me safe." Nick said with a soft gentle tone in his voice.
"It made you feel safe?" Jaune thought out aloud, his eyes widen as he slapped his mouth shut with his hands.
" Yeah…" he said, surprising Jaune that he answered.
" Itt made me feel safe that she will always be there for me and it was as if my dad was there too with us. Through the days, I felt that nothing bad could happen… I was wrong." Nick said as his tone grew darker.
" One day I came home to see our home, broken in. everything was ruined and broken, I ran inside to find my mother, hoping that she was alright and not harmed…" he thought as his voice became cold and colder with each word he said, tears were building in his eyes.
" I came to my mother's room to see her covered in her own blood, on the ground and barely holding on…, I was shaken and frightened at sight of the blood of my mother on the floor. My mother was dying and I couldn't do a goddamn thing about it. She touched my cheek and told me not to worry, she told me that even knowing that she was dying and that I won't ever see her again. Tears began to fall down his cheeks, Jaune listening couldn't help himself as he had a few tears shed as well.
"During her last moments with me… she sang to me once more...she sang with all that she had left in her body until the police came. Before she passed on… she told me, ' my little Nicky, don't be sad for me… I will be fine… so please don't shed tears for me. It'll bring me joy to know that I will be able to watch over you in whatever path you take. Both I and your father will be watching over you.' She told me with a smile on her face as tears flow down her face. She passed on in my arms as I cried" Nick told Jaune.
"So because of her, I sing this song as a way to remember her… so that her beliefs and compassion in me won't and will never be forgotten and in vain." He said tears leaking down his face as he turned to Jaune with a fierce look in his eyes, that showed both the pain he felt and the determination.
"….Nick… I…I didn't know you carried that much… sorrow… and misery " Jaune said, astonished at the story behind Nick's song.
" Yeah… I wouldn't expect you to... or carrots for that matter either" he said as he looked at the sky.
" Though… I can understand and relate" he said, catching Nick's attention.
'He can understand?'
" You see, you're not the only one that lost a parent" catching Nick off guard, not really expecting that from when he told him and Judy about his family with his mother and seven sisters.
" I lost both my grandfather and my own father, the one that I looked up to the most as well…and I can say that I understand what you've gone through…" Nick wasn't sure on what to say.
"Like you said before you're not gonna dwell on the past right? Then you have let go of your past" getting a furious look from Nick.
" But don't ever forget the ones that help you choose the path that you're on right now and cared for you. Don't let your past haunt you as you live in your present and in your future. Let their beliefs in you help you light your path of life and move on." Jaune said confidently with great compassion and emotion, never noticing the Caster, Saber and Berserker class cards slightly glowing in his deck holder.
"Besides Nick, you're not alone on your path" he said getting a look from Nick, Jaune simply chuckled. " You have me and Judy there to help you along the way. Just trust us as we do you, that's what friends do, " he said turning to Nick, with said faunus not saying anything… Jaune was beginning to worry that he said the wrong thing before Nick started to chuckle, he bursts into laughter.
Jaune wasn't sure if he should feel insulted or happy that he's laughing.
"Thanks for the laugh Jaune… you're really something." He said with a grin, this time this one was actual genuine than the one before, Jaune smiling goofy back at him.
Both the boys looked at the sky above their heads. Nick was in thought before he stood up, Jaune doing the same as Nick offered a hand, Jaune took the hand and pulled himself up.
" Jaune….thanks. I mean it…" Nick said with a gentle tone, Jaune nodded with a small smile. " Besides... it's better you help me out of my funk than carrots, Sir Dorks-a-lot," he said making Jaune groan at the new nickname Nick gave him.
" Hey… you're my friend, I would help you out anytime Nick" he said with a smile.
"…Well then, you can count on me to watch your back, Sir Dorks-a-lot. I mean 'that's what friends are for', right?" the fox faunus grins with confidence, both boys gave a handshake as they shook on it with savage grins.
They both laughed, sadness, regret and doubt all forgotten from each, as they both laugh...
(End Song)
[Later, JNPR Dorm]
Carefully opening the door to his Team's dorm, he saw that everyone was asleep. He let out a breath he was holding, he was hoping that they be asleep when he came back.
He was glad that he wouldn't have to talk to them or face any of their heated insults. Changing out of his clothes into his PJ's, they were different from his old ones since after a talk with Nick about how they'll remind him of home and his sisters, which he really did not want to remember. He wore a white shirt and white shorts, a necklace around his neck. It was a metallic black sword pendant with the Arc symbol engraved in it only in red and his name Jaune on the other side, before he climbs into bed and started to drift off into sleep, thinking about what'll tomorrow bring.
[?]
Jaune woke up to see only darkness once again. "This seems familiar," he said as he turned all around to see nothing in sight.
"Yeah I bet it does huh Jaune?" said a familiar voice, Jaune turned to the voice to see a boy that possesses blood-red eyes and golden hair that looks similar to Jaune's blonde hair and eyes that are the opposite of Jaune's blue sapphire eyes. He only wore a white hoodie, showing his bare chest which possesses blood red tattoos from his collar bone down to his waist and a gold necklace. He wore camo cargo shorts with blue and white sneakers, with golden armor attached to his waist and a waist cape.
Jaune blinked at the kid, he recognized the voice. " ...Gil?"
The young boy nodded with a smile. "Yeah, it's me Jaune." He said as he walked up to him. "Though last time we met like this, you couldn't actually see me before since you never use any of the class cards." He explained to the knight.
"Oh… that makes sense." He nods at the archer's explanation, though he did have one question.
"Uh…Gil, if you don't mind me asking… where are we? and where is this exactly?" he asked, Gil just chuckled at the question.
" Well, we're in your mind Jaune, this is your mindscape, the very place that myself and the other Heroic Spirits live."
"This...this is my mind? It looks a lot more… dark and blank then I thought.
Gil just chuckled again. " Jaune this is your mind. The only reason it's like this is because of you're thinking of it like this."
"So...if this is my mind…." he muttered as he closed his eyes as he began to imagine, Gil looked at him weirdly. " then I might be able to" he whispered as Gil looked as all the darkness around them fade away into light as the entire dark area changed.
What was once a dark void was now a grand hallway, similar to Beacon and yet similar to a castle. Gil looked amazed from the change of scenery of Jaune's mind, he wasn't expecting this from his vessel and he certainly wasn't expecting to see doors similar to the Beacon dorm rooms.
"Whoa…" was all he could say, as Jaune opened his eyes to see what he imagine was there. He smiled, satisfied with his work as he then looked at the amazed face of Gil.
"Well, you said it was my mind so I thought that I could change the look of it... What do you think?" he asked the young king of heroes.
Gil snapped back into reality as he looked at Jaune. " Well… I have to say Jaune, you surprised me once again, I wasn't expecting anything like this at all."
" Thanks… uh, why am I here again anyway?" he asked, not sure why he was brought here at all
" Well besides showing you where we, the spirits in the cards are staying for now… I wanted to talk to you about a few things. Your semblance being one."
"Oh sure, my semblance- WAIT! My semblance!?" Jaune stared wide-eyed at the small king of heroes. Said king looked amused at Jaune's expression.
"Yes Jaune, your semblance" Gil rolled his eyes with a chuckle, he looked at Jaune who had a flabbergasted at what he had said.
" What do you mean about my semblance? You know about my semblance? What does it do? What is it?" questions firing off like bullets, Jaune was acting like Ruby when she sees a new weapon.
"Whoa whoa. Hold your horses Jaune, give me some room" he said as he backed up from Jaune, who realized how he was acting.
"Heh, sorry about that." He was a bit embarrassed about how he acted, I mean how couldn't he? It was his semblance! The very power of his soul that he was close to learning about.
"I get that you would want to know about your semblance but you have to slow down my friend alright?" getting a nod from an embarrassed Jaune, Gil could only shake his head as he made a gesture for Jaune to follow him.
Both young huntsmen and King walked down huge halls that only fit a castle, Jaune was amazed at the interior of his mind but then again it WAS his mind after all.
It kind of reminded him of Beacon, only a few things were replaced, such as the emblems of the school were his family emblem. Certain photos of past teams of Huntsmen and Huntresses were of his family and those that he knew.
As they walked past the halls, they walked into what would be either a throne room or the intersection of corridors. Though what did catch his eyes were eight doors, each marked with different emblems, three were golden while the other five were silver.
One marked with a sword, one with a spear, one with an arrowhead. The other four had one with a grimoire right that was it called? one had a chariot. One had a dagger while the other two had a beast head covered in…darkness? and the other with chains.
Jaune stopped as he looked at the doors. " Hey Gil? What are those doors?" he asked, in wonder of what could behind the doors that stayed closed before him.
"Hmm? Oh, those?" Gil turned over to the doors that he and the other heroic spirits reside in. " those are our rooms, where all we live in. That one with the arrowhead is mine" he said, pointing at said door.
Now this surprised him, he didn't think that they would have rooms... then again he didn't know that the boy next to him was the young form of the greatest heroes ever born.
" This is where you guys stay in? " he said as he looked at each door, stopping at berserker's door. He jumped back as he heard a roar from the other side, Gil grabbed his wrist and dragged Jaune from the door.
"I wouldn't get too close to Berserker's door, even if he is sealed behind it. I wouldn't take any chances, there's a reason that one's in the berserker class." Gil said as he brought Jaune to an unfamiliar room blocked by twin huge marble doors chained up with iron chains and locks, the Arc symbol was stamped onto the doors.
"This is where your semblance is. Before it was chained up very tight that you wouldn't be able to see your family symbol but as you can see… there aren't many chains left." He said as Jaune looked at the twin doors, memorized by them.
"My semblance is behind these doors?" he said, looking at the chains that linger around the doors
"Yeah, I mean besides the huge doors and chains, It was pretty obvious… well, that and this anyway" Gil said gesturing to the gold plate with the engravings of Semblance behind him that's right next to the doors.
"Oh…" He looked a bit embarrassed since this was his mind, and he did create this whole place, Gil rolled his eyes before Jaune asked another question.
"Uh… why is it locked up?" he asked eyeing the chains and locks on the door.
" Well your semblance was going to reveal itself before, but considering what those mongrels did and the emotional harm they did, it's not going to…. It has been locked up pretty tight for a really long time, but since you started to use the class cards and befriended Nick and Judy. It's started to loosen." Gil explained as he leaned on the wall next to the doors.
Jaune was in deep thought, his semblance would've revealed itself if it wasn't for the others hurting him emotionally… he did wonder why? What was it? What would it give him? he truly wondered what his semblance is.
"How do I… I..I mean is there any way to unlock it?" Jaune asked Gil, he wanted his answers and he wanted to know what his semblance is.
Gil only got up from the wall and turned around. " follow me" he says, as he leads Jaune back to the halls to the class doors once again.
" Like I said before, your semblance began to loosen when you befriended both Nick and Judy as well as myself." That last bit had Jaune confused "Hey don't count yourself short about that, when you used my class card for the first time I saw your memories and I felt that you didn't deserve all this prejudice. The more we talked the more I saw you as a friend, which leads us here."
Gesturing to the doors that now are glowing, surprising him to see the door marked with a sword, the door with the book and lastly the one with the beast head.
"Well Jaune, I think your answer lies with these guys," Gil said gesturing to the doors glowing, Jaune looked a bit surprised.
"A-are you sure about that, Gil?" Jaune asked the little king of heroes as he gave him a nod.
" I'm pretty sure Jaune. These very doors started to glow during your talk with Nick in front of the statue. I think… no, I know you'll be able to discover you semblance with the help of these heroes when you meet them" Gil stated with confidence.
Jaune looked from the Gil towards the doors and thought back to his talk with Nick, about how they told their lives and how such things in their lives lead to what and where they are now.
"I..I-I need time to think about this Gil?" He really did. He needs to think about this some more if his semblance was going to reveal itself before his secret came out then what was triggering it then?
Gil sighed and nodded, he understood why Jaune would need time to think about this, considering this is one of the important things towards both his survival and his career in life.
"Don't worry about it Jaune, take your time. Besides, I think it's time for you to wake up now." He said, Jaune nodding as the room began to grow brighter and brighter.
Jaune opened his eyes to the glaring rays of sunlight that breaks through the curtains and into his team's dorm. Seeing where he is now and that today was his field trip into Forever Falls, Jaune prepares to get himself ready.
[Noon, at Forever falls]
Soon, they were at Forever Falls for an assignment for Professor Peach, traveling there by Bullhead transport. Glynda had volunteered to be the chaperon for the day. Since the trip took up a whole day, the 1st year students were to go in groups on separate days. Today, team RWBY, (J)NPR, and CRDL were the ones going. Some of the other 1st years had already gone.
"Yes, students, the forest of Forever Falls is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sight-see. Professor Peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so," warned Glynda, "Each of you are to gather one jar's worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm and they have been increasing recently, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here by 4 o'clock. Be careful!"
They all separated into their teams. As they were gathering the red sap, with Jaune going off from his team a bit, not really worrying about the grimm since he could single-handedly decimate them without effort.
'Really? Sap? We're here to collect sap? How is this going to be helpful when we defend others from grimm?'
[Jaune, the teachers wouldn't put you and the other students up to this if it didn't have something that could help you in the long run, besides this way you'll learn more about vital facts of the- is that Cardin?] Jaune stopped what he was doing immediately after Gil pointed out Cardin and his team in the middle of his speech.
'yeah… it is… what is he planning?' Jaune was suspicious, as he watches them closely before seeing them walk up a small hill just a few yards away.
[Jaune… that moronic imbecile is planning something dangerous, very dangerous] Gil warned him, Jaune could see Dove holding a box, buzzing a lot and Cardin had a jar of sap. He wondered what they were doing since he saw them looking at one direction. He turned his head away from Cardin to see where he was looking….at… Jaune turned to see in Cardin's sight was both Nick and Judy who for some reason were being bothered by Yang and Nora? It then clicked in his mind.
' He wouldn't'
[ Oh I believe he would. Jaune you have to stop them before he can throw that jar.]
Jaune didn't need Gil to tell him twice as Jaune ran up to where Cardin and his team was.
[with Judy and Nick]
Stabbing another tree and then pulling out, he filled up the jar he had in his hands. " Carrots, remind me how this will teach us anything again? Or help us in our future careers as huntsman and huntress?" Nick asked with half-lid eyes at the task they were given.
" Oh come on Nick, we're doing this for Professor Peach, besides we're seeing more than just our school now! I mean look at this glorious scenery!" the bunny faunus said waving her hands out wide, gesturing to the forest around them.
Nick rolled his eyes at her being so dramatic, but he nods his head as she was right with where they were, it was beautiful. " yeah… you're right about that Carrots… and what do you two want?" Nick remarked with a flat look, seeing both Nora and Yang.
"Hey, we just came to talk. We're not foxing around pal" Yang said, causing both Judy and Nora to groan and Nick's eye to twitch in annoyance.
"Oh you just didn't…" fox muttered, before jumping in surprise as Nora was up in Judy's face, who was feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Um… what is it that you want?" asked Judy, getting a good amount of distance from Nora as she and Nick looked at the blonde and redhead. Yang spoke up then.
"I was wondering if you could tell us about vomit-boy if possible, He's been avoiding us and... well you guys seem buddy-buddy with him right now so…." Both Judy and Nick seemed could see what she meant if the pain expression on her face and the sullen one on Nora was worth anything.
"Oh, sweet cheese and crackers" Judy was rubbing her temples as Nick was thinking about how to avoid the question or if they could just ignore them.
"Look we just want to make things right with Jaune." Said Nora that got both Judy and Nick's attention but Nick wasn't having any of it.
"You want to make things huh?" he growled, surprising the girls even Judy who never seen this side of him before. " Do you even know what happens to a man who wears his heart on his sleeve when those that he thought were his friends go and turn their back to him? Do you?" he said with a glare of hate, making both of them flinched.
"Well let me tell you, when that happens to anyone, no matter how strong they are both physically and mentally, eventually cracks will begin to form in their resolve from everything. After that, those cracks will completely and utterly destroy their resolve and their will." He said as he stared at them. " You broke his trust by turning your backs to him once he told you a secret that he told you. Sure what he did wasn't right, but his heart was in the right place since he has the will and determination to train hard to become huntsmen." Nora and Yang were taken aback before Judy agreed and spoke up as well.
"He's right, why should we let you people talk with him since all you ever did was stab him in the back when all he has been was honest with you? If you want to talk to him, then you should do it by yourselves." She stated.
"Now if you're done wasting our time Goldilocks, can you and miss break-legs leave us alone and go back to your teams" He said as he turned back to the tree he was collecting sap from, both Yang and Nora looked at each other but did leave them alone as they went back to their teams.
[with Jaune]
Jaune made it in time to seeing Cardin ready to throw the jar, Jaune called out to them.
"Hey!" catching their attention, they all turned to see Jaune there with a scowl on his face. Cardin glared back but had forced smirk on his face.
"So Jauney-boy, why you here for?" he asks, Oum he must think Jaune is stupid if he can't connect the dots of what they're doing.
" You must think I'm blind and stupid, right Cardin? I can see what you were going to do with that jar of sap." He said with a tilt of his head, gesturing towards where Nick and Judy was. " You really think I think I'll let you do whatever you have in store at them for no reason?" he said, Cardin's face was furious as he glares at him along with his team.
"What do you care!? They're nothing but damn animals that really shouldn't be here! Animals like them are like the White Fang!" he bellowed out in rage, Jaune just shook his head in disgust.
"I hate scum like you Cardin, idiots that think that because someone has extra appendages they're inferior. People just like you are the reasons the White Fang is what it is today!" He glares at Cardin, he looked past him to see his team who'd look just as pissed as they glared along with their leader.
Cardin's team all brought out their weapons, great…. looks like this will get ugly. Jaune brought out Crocea Mors and his shield.
[Jaune behind you!] He heard Gil's warning, only to not see a jar of sap nail him from behind.
The jar shattered, releasing its contents on Jaune. Jaune tried to put his left arm up to block most of it from his face, but it splattered over his hair and the front of his hoodie.
He turned to see Russell behind him with a grin on his face, Jaune turned back to Cardin and the rest of his team to see the Russell there disappeared.
"What the hell?! Semblance?!" Jaune said as Cardin and his team laughed at him, eye twitching and pissed off. Jaune turned to the rest of the team CRDL, he was really tempted to include Archer and go to town on them right now…
But he froze once he heard a familiar sound of growling. Turning around, Jaune was greeted with the sight of an Ursa major…. And he wasn't alone for there were more grimm...a lot more, just behind it.
Team CRDL were horrified and scared, they stopped laughing as they didn't take any time to run like a fucking chicken without their heads.
'ah…Fuck' Jaune quickly brought his shield up to block a swipe from the grimm, then ducked to avoid the jaws of another as well. Jaune looked to see that it wasn't just Ursa Majors there with him as well but Beowulfs and Boarbatusks as well.
Seeing the frightening amount of grimm, Jaune did the one thing he knew…. Besides, oh I don't know, including his Archer card? Jaune ran away from the grimm as fast as he could, the grimm already on his ass, hunting him.
He manages to climb to high ground, seeing them run past him, Jaune then went to hide close to a cave not that far off from the bullhead.
He stopped once he heard the sound of growling, how did they find him so fast? He watched them leave... Unless... Fuck his fear and panic brought them to him, like moths to a flame. Jaune looked around but the area was closed off thanks to the cave and trees, he was trapped!
The Grimm were getting closer and closer by the minute. It was only a matter of time before they find him and then tear him apart.
Closer to killing the young Huntsman in training, armed with nothing but a sword and shield along with a card deck holder.
' I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die.' the thought repeated itself in his mind as the huge crowd of Grimm closed in on the young Arc.
Jaune was trapped with no way of getting out. He took a step back, his trembling feet stepping back on the red leaves, he turned to see the grimm that had finally found him thanks tp his fear, they were glaring with red rage filled eyes, eager to spill his blood.
Crocea Mors in his right hand, he looked at the closing in Grimm. A few Grimm he could handle but this many? No way... He's not Nora, not Yang and he's definitely not Pyrrha
Is this how it'll end? All he's been through ever since he made it to Beacon?
It seemed more as though he had been cast the court jester than the aspirant hero he thought of himself as.
He had hoped for some recognition as his skills increased, and while he was no longer tripping over himself in combat, the gap between his peers remained the chasm it had started out as.
While on most days Jaune's bruised ego would be soothed by the patient reassurances doled out by a diligent Pyrrha before, but now…
He's all alone.
What had driven him to pack his bag, hop on the earliest bulkhead to Vale and lie his way into Beacon? Glory? Fame? Why did he go through all through the trouble of sneaking into Beacon if all he was going to be was a failure? He was mocked and belittled ever since he was there by friends and all? What was the point of coming here if he was just going to end up failing from the start?
What was it all worth?
He would've laughed if he wasn't scared for his life right now. It's truly pathetic that he made even thoughts of becoming a hero and had even gotten so far by other's strength…
'I guess Cardin was right…'
He didn't belong at Beacon with the others. He was a fraud, a fake, he didn't deserve to be a hero and now he's gonna pay the price for it...
And yet…
Jaune thought back to all that he's done…
He lead a team through initiation and defeated an ancient class Deathstalker…
He became a leader of a team…
He overcame his tormentors…
Created two new bonds and prove everyone wrong…
Was he gonna let it end here?
(Flashback)
"I kept you here because of the mass potential I see in you," Ozpin told his student.
"B-but why?! I mean I cheated my way into your school, unlike the other students who worked their lives to get here. Unlike them, I don't deserve to be here at all." He said in a sad and yet disgusted tone, Ozpin shook his head and lightly chuckled.
"I believe in the same philosophy that Lions have with their young." He said, getting a look from Jaune, He said.
" Lions would often throw their cubs off of cliffs in order to test their strength. I wanted you to experience the ordeals of my school and see if you had the will and determination to stay and try harder despite being weaker than the other students,"
(Flashback end)
…
...
No… he wasn't going to let it end… Professor Ozpin believes in him and he wouldn't let him down by dying here.
His thoughts traveled back to his friends…
They were his friends and all that he had back at Beacon. They didn't care about what he did or if he didn't belong there and he thanked them for that…
Nick….
"Well, then you can trust me to watch your back, Sir dorks-a-lot. I mean that's what friends are for right?" the fox faunus said with a confident grin.
Judy…
"Life's a little bit messy. We all make mistakes. No matter what kind of person you are, change starts with you and you already started that change Jaune." Judy said with kindness and confidence in her eyes.
He didn't want to hurt them and spit on their belief in him either by dying here…
No…
No!
He won't lay here and die like some beaten dog! He won't let what the others said about him make him quit! He's dead tired of that. Of everything! He hated it all. Being belittled and ridiculed, he hated it! Being called weak and a fake, oh how he hated it!
But most of all he hated how weak he was to think that he should just die here...
Dropping Crocea Mors as he stood more firm, his gaze more hateful, he wasn't going to die here, not now. Not ever!
"No," growled the teen as he pulled out a glowing card from the holder and caused a violent atmosphere to begin to fill the forest. "I won't die here, not now, not ever!"
"That's right, I can't just give up now, that would be an insult to everything I did to get here!" He shouted
The Grimm stopped in their tracks, they all felt an overwhelming power and rage emanating off the teen and the Grimm all suffered a shiver run down their spines as Jaune was engulfed in the card's light.
His pupil dilated... a dangerous aura began to form around him.
"I'm going to make you all pay for a number of lives you've taken Grimm! None of you are leaving this place alive, I won't die here!" promised Jaune as his rage-filled voice echoed across the now silent red forest. "Include, Berserker!"
The light finally died down and now the Grimm in the forest could see Jaune donning a black armor as black miasma emanated from it... in his hand, he held a sword that had a shine of that of murky water hit by moonlight… he quickly sheathed the sword as he grabbed the discarded Crocea Mors.
The heirloom blade was affected by Jaune's berserker state as it became warped, black smoke drifted off of its frame while red cracks spread over it like cancer.
From the ground as the same ground was shaking and craters forming from cracking beneath his feet with every step he took as he kept his gaze focused solely on the huge crowd of grimm.
One charging at him from the front, he jumped over it and swung the old blade around stabbed the creature in the back before continuing on to the next Beowulf. One by one he hacked and slashed his way through the Beowulves, slaughtering the rest of them.
A huge Boarbatusk tried to ram into him but he stopped it by its tusks with his right hand. He broke its tusks off, the tusk becoming warped as black smoke flow off it with red cracks spreading down its frame. Jaune then proceeds to use the new tusk club he just acquired and bash the Boarbatusk skull in.
He quickly blocked a swipe at his back with Crocea Mors without even turning. He then twirled in one sweep and bashed an Ursa behind him with the tusk club. Sending the Grimm into a few others.
Jumping over two Beowulf's, bashing one and cutting the other with Crocea Mors. Jaune ducked a swipe, before kicking backward, making the huge alpha Beowulf that was behind him to fall as he backflips onto its back. The alpha tried to get up but Jaune kept it planted to the ground.
The tassels on his armor stabbed into the Grimm's back as it roared in pain. It's form twisted and warped until it looked the same but more armored like a great big knight wolf with red vein-like cracks littering it's body along with its red eyes.
Jaune was anchoring himself with the tassels of his armor on its back as both controlled Grimm and Knight roar.
The control Grimm attacked and slaughtered its former brethren with its claws. The lesser Beowulf were cleaved in half while Ursa's were backhanded by Jaune's Grimm or sliced by Crocea Mors in his grip.
Jaune commanded it to jump as they avoid a trap from the other alpha Beowulf and then landed on top of the alpha. Jaune's Grimm tore its throat out after caving in its chest when it landed on it.
It grabbed the Grimm's body and then charge with it like a battering ram. Smashing other Grimm out of its way while Jaune who rode on its back took this as the time to cut down any that was sent flying by him in pieces.
As it went on, it was only a matter of time before the Grimm started to wither Jaune's Grimm's strength and durability down to the point that it was then killed by a Boarbatusk's ramming.
Jaune jumping off, landed from the corpse of his dead Grimm, he looked around him.
Grimm surrounded him from all around. Growling Jaune flung Crocea Mors into the air behind taking out a red dust Crystal he had in his pocket and then infused his aura into it within his fist. The Grimm all charged at the blackened knight before Jaune smashed his fist into the ground with the dust crystal.
A fire explosion erupted, engulfing the Grimm and Jaune himself. Only the Grimm that was closest to the black knight were caught in the explosion while most of the other Grimm were safe.
Flames brewing wildly, a lone figure walked through the roaring fire.
"I… can't die. I won't!... Not until I become a great hero like the others.. so until then…" he beats his chest with his right arm. " I won't let any of you kill me!" He shouted as he caught Crocea Mors from earlier while the Grimm pounces at him.
[With Glynda]
Glynda had been levitating through the sky at a hasty pace. It's been several minutes since she'd taken flight and during that time, she'd quickly made a circle above the areas where she knew students to have been in.
Having ensured their safety via an aerial bombardment of sheer power upon their attackers, she'd then directed all of them to a more abandoned area of Forever Falls.
A quick call to Ozpin with her scroll had also ensured a bullhead being flown to the location right now in order to get them all out of here.
The bullhead was ready for them to leave, she was just making a final check for any Grimm to make sure their departure is smooth sailing.
Seeing no Grimm coming by she returned to the bullhead.
[ With Jaune- Berserker included]
The Grimm… whenever they were slain, they always faded into a pitch black mist that either fell to the ground or was blown away by the lightest of breezes.
It depends on how long it took for the body of a Grimm to decay at times. It was usually from instant to a few minutes to an hour.
Standing on a stockpile of corpses comprising of Grimm was Jaune, catching his breath from killing the swarm of grimm.
His head perked up from hearing a familiar sound. The sound of the bullhead engine starting up!
They wouldn't...
Whipping his head towards the sound, Jaune quickly got up from the pile and began to run towards where the bullhead was.
[With Glynda and students]
Seeing that her students were inside the bullhead and with no Grimm coming their way, Glynda signaled the pilot to take off for Beacon.
Getting a nod in response as the engine of the bullhead started as it took off from the ground.
Glynda watched over the students and speaking of the students.
[RWBY,(J)NPR]
Pyrrha was worried. Really worried. She was sure she was on the verge of a panic attack right now.
Even with how Jaune treated her after what she had done to him, she still worried for him and not seeing him among the students in the bullhead had her worried.
Especially with how the field trip had ended.
The little field trip to Forever Fall was unfortunately cut short only an hour and a half since they touched the ground. From what the teachers were saying a large swarm of Grimm had appeared from the forests in large packs in search of prey.
They seemed to be drawn to the forest, which is troubling to think about.
"Hey P-money what's eating you? You look like you're about to drop" commented Yang, the others watching the Spartan-themed girl fret.
"I-It's..It's Jaune.." she said and as soon she had said those words did Wiess scowled.
"Why do you need to worried about that dunce? We all clearly know how he feels about us." She said with a small frown. " Not to mention what he said to you…" she said.
"I have to agree with Weiss-cream on this one Pyrrha, he doesn't want anything to do with us. Let's just leave it at that." Said Blake, who was looking around for the blonde knight.
She then notices that he wasn't anywhere in the bullhead with them.
"..Guys… I don't see Jaune anywhere in here with us" said Blake, getting everyone's attention as they all search for him, they didn't even see him with a distraught Judy and Nick.
"Wait where is he?!" asked Nora, feeling panicked along with Ren.
"We didn't leave vomit boy did we?!" Yang said, looking everywhere for the familiar blonde with growing worried.
" We have to turn back around for him! We can't leave him behind" said Pyrrha who was the most worried about her partner.
Ruby noticed Nick and Judy walking over to , probably to ask about Jaune. She was going to ask as well to see if they could go back for Jaune as her friends were growing worried and looking drastically for him by looking past the other students.
Just as she was going to, she noticed something in the window, she saw a black figure using the tree's to keep up with the bullhead. 'is that a…..grimm? and it's keeping up with the bullhead!?' she thought, she hurried over to past Judy and Nick.
"Um….miss Goodwitch? We left before any of the Grimm were near us or could follow after us right?" Asked Ruby, gaining everyone's attention.
" That is correct ."
"Uh...is it possible for a Grimm to be chasing after us?" She asked which got everyone confused on why she be asking that.
Some students looked out the window to see what she's talking about. Ren, Nora, Yang, and Blake did as well with their eyes widening.
"Preposterous , no Grimm would come after us and there aren't any Nevermore in distance. So in spite of your question, it's not possible." Glynda stated with a firm nod.
"Well, if that's true then what's that?!" Yang pointed out the window at behind the bullhead.
Glynda looked out the window to see what Yang would be saying only to see a black figure follow the bullhead by jumping from tree to tree.
The figure was covered in black armor with black fog like miasma and a red visor the same color as the Grimm's eyes.
It was catching up to them very quickly than expected with leaping from tree to tree.
It roared as it got closer and closer to the bullhead. The students were screaming and panicking, Glynda having enough of that, brought out her crop.
The moment the crop came out, the students were silent.
[with Jaune]
As he leapt from tree and tree, Jaune noticed as a tree was uprooted from the forest floor and then flew right at him. Jaune acted quickly and bashed the tree away with his tusk club, he looked up to see more trees levitating.
Jaune jumped onto one of the flung trees before he cut another one in half and then used another to dodged from one that was about to crush him.
After avoiding the barrage of trees, Jaune looked up at the bullhead to see if it got any farther from him, he was treated to the sight of glaring at him.
The blonde watched as the older woman simply glared at him, before she pulled back her arm and send it out again, a barrage of energy appearing in front of her.
' Ooooh, I'm not gonna like this' Jaune thought, as he leaps from treetop to treetop.
She waved her riding crop and her the barrage of energy turned into purple balls that were fired towards the Jaune, smashing against him in multiple places and knocking him around a bit. Hell! She even took to destroying some of the trees he was either standing on or gonna leap to.
The witch-like woman fired a purple shot at the trees around him again, instead of directly at him.
She just took away any ground for him to land on to reach them.
'Shit!' Jaune thought as he fell from his leap, but Jaune used Berserkers knowledge and adjusted himself to balance onto a tree's branch and use it like a spring to slingshot himself towards the bullhead.
Everyone's eyes widen at the maneuver that the Grimm just did as it's now flying towards them.
Glynda, on the other hand, wasn't going to have any of it, using her semblance to stop the Grimm from reaching them and had it levitate in midair.
The students were relieved to see the Grimm stop in mid-flight by Ms. Goodwitch's semblance.
Jaune, on the other hand, wasn't liking the look in Glynda's eye as she held him with her semblance.
With a simple flick of her wrist, Jaune was soaring away from the bullhead.
' I'm not liking that smile on her face'
With a simple flick of her wrist, Jaune was flung like a rock away from them and over the forest in an instant.
[with Glynda, students]
With a content nod as she saw the grimm flew off, she closed the door of the bullhead and then turned to the students.
"No need to panic students, the grimm has been taken care of now. Now please hold on, for we will be back to Beacon in an hour." With that, Glynda walked off towards the pilot's cockpit.
[With Jaune- Berserker included]
"SHIIIIIIIIITTTTT!" he yelled as his teacher thrown him away like a stone, and like a skipping stone he bounced off the treetops, through trees and branches, then finally off the ground before coming to a stop in a large stone.
'….Owwww…,that's gonna hurt for a while…" commented Jaune as he picked himself up, wobbling a bit as he stood up.. looking how far he was thrown, it won't be easy at all.
'….Damn, I was thrown far. really didn't want me anywhere near the Bullhead.'
[Well can you blame her?] Jaune's head perked up at the familiar voice.
"Gil? Haven't heard from you in a while'
[Well I tried to call out to you but it looks like you and Berserker were having a moment back there with all those grimm]
'oh… sorry about that- Wait me and Berserker?'
[Yeah… he's been here with you for some time from the beginning of your fight earlier, right Berserker?]
[ … ]
'…He doesn't talk much huh?'
[Well he is of the berserker class. Anyway, Jaune, how were you able to fight that well with nothing but Crocea Mors? I thought you're skills were bad?]
'Actually, it may be the only thing I was trained in, but not much. The rest was thanks to berserker I guess.'
[…yes…]
[Oh ho! he speaks!]
[…]
[Never mind… anyway, Jaune… you had training?]
'Yeah, my Grandfather and my dad both used to take me out hunting when I was a kid. they tried their best to teach me how to fight with what would work the best, sadly the only one I had potential with was Crocea Mors…that was the only time anyone ever actually trained me.' he looked down at the ground the thoughts of Pyrrha entering his mind as she offered her training, right before he told her his secret. A roar was heard far away as Gil and Berserker perked up.
[Jaune It's not safe here, even for you as you are right now, we have to leave now before more return] Gil said, Berserker, agreeing with him.
[ Not…. safe. Leave…. Find way. Back to Home…]Berserker said in complete agreement, asJaune nodded as he began to make his way back to Beacon. Throughout the night he encountered many more Grimm ranging from Beowulf's to Ursa's as both Gil and Berserker guided him through the dark forest, the crimson leaves that fell were now covered in blood as Jaune continued to make his way home.
…
...
[Two days passed]
...
Pyrrha stared blankly at the stack of pancakes before her, as she felt not the urge or motive to eat the delicious pastries. Around the table, many were just like her, as they too could not find the strength to eat.
Yesterday they confronted Cardin and his team with the two faunus that Jaune befriended. They told them that, after covering Arc in sap, an Ursa Major appeared along with a horde of grimm and Jaune was holding it off as best he could, Cardin and his team left him behind.
The others were quiet as they all couldn't believe that they all left Jaune behind to fight all those grimm without knowing…
Nick and Judy were devastated to hear what became of their friend.
Glynda was horrified that she left him behind and had both Professor Port and Oobleck along with herself search the forest for the boy, but could find nothing but tracks leading only deeper into the forest. By then it had gotten too dark for the search team to search safely, without encountering Grimm.
She was racked with guilt for leaving him behind without checking for if all students were on board the bullhead.
They called off the search and retreated back to the Academy, in order to continue their search the next day. As soon as CRDL got back they were instantly reprimanded by a rather rare display of anger from Headmaster Ozpin. He outright reprimanded them for their reckless behavior and threatened them with expulsion, if Jaune was not found by the next day or by the end of the week.
Ozpin rather hoped that the young man was found soon, he had known all along of his fake transcripts and still enrolled him into his school because he wanted to see if he had the same potential that his ancestors before him possessed. The ability to defy all odds before them and achieve what many deemed impossible...even at the cost of their own lives.
The boy had potential to become a legend like his predecessors and perhaps even more? But it would seem that fate wasn't meant to be…
"It seems the boy did inherit their ability to put others before themselves…a noble but stupid trait that all the males of his line hold" he said as he and Glynda stood in the cafeteria watching over the students.
"How are they taking it?" Glynda asked as she looked at teams RWBY and (J)NPR whose very presence reeked with depression, remorse, and guilt, Ozpin sighed as he shook his head.
He looked over to the two friends of Jaune's and could see that they were the same, Ms. Grey-hopps was in tears as Mr. Everwilde was comforting her as he tried to hold his own tears in.
"Better than I hoped, worse than it seems, as well as one would take to losing a friend to Grimm…especially one that was left behind" he replied, seeing the states they were all in.
Ruby had small tears in her eyes as she held her cape closed to her, covering up most of her body as if to hide herself from all as she released small quiet sobs that were unheard by everyone except those nearest to her.
Yang had a grim look on her face as her knuckles were nearly white as she too held in the emotion that she was feeling. Anger, rage, and guilt for not acting in time to save the boy. Sure she was angry that he cheated and lied to them all but she didn't want him to die.
Blake had a small look of remorse on her face as she tried her best to not seem affected by the event, but if you look close enough you could still see the hints of sadness in her eyes.
Weiss was living up to her namesake as she held on an icy appearance and cold behavior to mask the fact that she too felt the sadness of his 'passing', inwardly regretting being overly cold to the blond haired teen as small cracks could be seen on her cold exterior. He was a bumbling dunce that didn't deserve to be here but he didn't deserve a fate such as that.
Ren held a stoic face but in his eyes could be seen small amounts of anger and sadness as he felt ashamed for allowing his team leader and one that he calls a friend to die while cowards lived in his stead. It burned him up on the inside, as much as the guilt of turning his back to him. He and Nora grew up in less than pleasant conditions, so they should've understood why he did it.
Nora, the ever bright and bubbly girl that brought both a sense of laughter and confusion to the team, seemed almost lifeless as she only just stared at the pancakes, not even attempting to take a bite of fluffy cakes of goodness. She wasn't hungry at all as she just couldn't find her appetite for her favourite food. She just couldn't find the strength to try.
The two faunus on the other side of the cafeteria weren't in any better state.
Judy had tears leaking down her face, drowning in sadness and depression that she lost one her friends that understood her like Nick did.
Nick had bags under his eyes, probably evidence that he was up late searching for Jaune as his entire body looked close to collapsing from exhaustion.
The gasp of shock was enough for all heads to perk up and turn around as they faced the doorway, and what they all saw caused most of them to feel fear and dread at what was standing before them in the cafeteria entrance.
It was the Grimm they all had seen from before.
It was in a black suit of armor, the armor was emulating dark and evil intent which cover its entire being in black flame and air.
From the knight's back hung several black strips of fabric with ornate black metal tips which seem like a spear tip.
The helmet was dark with a slit for eyes ending with cross-like markings on either side. The mouth area was covered as well in smooth layers of steel.
It was as if the armour was created from the dark miasma that it generated. In its hand was a longsword and in its other a curved club, both weapons warped and covered in red crack like veins.
The room was silent as it slowly walked through the cafeteria, ignoring the looks of surprise, shock and fear as it passed them all, including both RWBY, (J)NPR as well. He continued past the few teachers who were there, as they looked at him in shock and yet were cautious and alert of it, none more than Glynda who thought she wouldn't have to worry about the Grimm after leaving it back at forest fall.
Ozpin himself looked more intrigued than the others of the faculty before it made it's way to the table that team CRDL was eating at.
It stared down at Cardin, who was at the moment trying not to piss himself from its gaze, but was already failing. It rose its arm with the club, CRDL tensing while the teachers watched and were waiting to jump in, readying themselves to stop should it try and harm their students.
It dropped the club onto the table which reverted back to a Boarbatusk tusk, it then stared at Cardin deeply before speaking in a strained voice.
"Don't Do that again… I'm warning you Cardin…" it said with a familiar voice, madness etched into it.
"J-Jauney boy?!" Cardin exclaimed, surprised and really frightening to hear the Arc of all people from this monster of a knight that was drowning in madness, making the rest of the onlookers shocked from what they just heard.
"Yeah...it's me…" he said again before he grabbed Cardin by his uniform as Cardin's team was scared shitless of Jaune to move and help their leader. " Don't you…. dare try that….. shit…. ever again! Or I'll copy the Grimm's idea when it comes to you" he stated, dropping Cardin, who fell on his ass. He glared at the other members of CRDL, hinting to if they're going to do the same to which they shook their heads so fast he thought they get whiplash.
Jaune then walked to gather food before leaving the cafeteria with a stack of food on his tray. He was then stopped by two familiar faces.
"Jaune!" He heard his name, turning around to see Nick and Judy with looks of relief, desperation and happiness.
Judy tackled him before he could do anything he froze as he felt her hit his armor repeatedly with her fist. Each hit was hard before they became lighter and lighter before she cried holding onto him, Nick looked relieved and sad as he walked up to them both. Nick looked annoyed but he was relieved that his friend was alright now as Judy finally let go of him.
"Nick, Judy," he whispered, he then unincluded the Berserker class card and reverting back to himself.
The two faunus gasped at what they saw. His shirt was covered in blood and chest plate cracked greatly, with his right sleeve completely destroyed and his sword secured on his waist. He had cuts and bruises all over his body, with a thin cut across his cheek as dried up blood streaked down his face and a claw mark formed under his left arm.
All in all... He looked like he walked out of a savage hunt only to fight through it to get here.
"Oh….dear...Oum" Nick muttered with wide eyes, seeing his friend in such a condition. Judy on the other hand had tears in her eyes, covering her mouth the moment she saw him like this.
Judy and Nick went up to Jaune and helped him.
"Okay Jaune seriously what the fuck happened to you man?!" Asked Nick as he holds on to one side of the tray.
"Trust me when I say that wouldn't believe it." was his response, to which he got a glare from Judy.
"Like we won't be able to believe that you didn't made it all the way back here looking like a black knight Jaune?!" Judy retorted with an angry glare, tears in her eyes as she helped Jaune stand with his left arm over her shoulder.
"Guys, you don't have to help, I'm fine" Jaune said and was going to protest their help but was silenced by the stares/glares of both Nick and Judy.
"Jaune… you're going to the nurse's office right now, so you can get treated."
"Judy-" he was cut off by Nick this time.
"Dude… I have to agree with Carrots on this one. We're bringing you to the nurse's office right now on the double." He said Jaune's shoulders slumped at that declaration.
"But...what about my food?" He asked with the tray in his hands.
"Nurse's office first!" They shouted to him as they dragged him to the nurse's office. Jaune sighed as they did, it didn't help with Gil's laughter and the Caster's laughter echoing in his mind.
[sometime later, Nurse's office]
"There that should do it," She said as she admired her own handy work, The nurse just finished bandaging him up as she looked at the boy before her.
"Please take it easy for the next few days Mister Arc, you suffered some major muscle strain and aura exhaustion trying to make it back to Beacon. Along with multiple small cuts and bruises. Honestly, I'm amazed you made it back with how you are. Any other man would've been dead by the amount of blood lost and injuries you have." she said as Jaune looked at the bandages around his face, chest, and arms, the bandaged boy nodded at the nurse.
"No problem Ms. Kitsune… just please no more needles" he said with a bit of fear as she smiled sweetly before leaving the room to fill out some paperwork.
Jaune shuddered from her smile, Nick chuckling as Judy giggled.
"What's wrong, sir Dorks-a-lot? Scared of ol' Ms. Kitsune?" Nick joked, seeing his friend frightened of the nurse.
"Nick, you don't know what she did." Jaune shuddered once again at the memory.
"Oh Jaune don't be so dramatic" giggled Judy.
[Come on Jaune it wasn't that bad] Gil added on.
'You're only saying that since you weren't the one she was 'treating' , Gil. You didn't feel the pain…' Jaune swore to never be harmed badly every again if he could never have to be treated by Ms. Kitsune again.
[Ozpin's office]
Ozpin's dipped his coffee as Glynda walked in with a small frown.
"Still stressed about Mr. Arc, Glynda?" He asked as she directed a glare at him.
"How can I not? From the absurdity that what I had thought was a Grimm, was really Mr .Arc or the fact that I left a student behind…"
" Glynda, it's all in the past. Mr. Arc is alive and well, even managed to make it all the way back here by himself. No need to fret." Ozpin said while looking over footage of Jaune walking through the school until he came to the cafeteria from one of the screens connected to his desk.
"But Ozpin, surely you can't be serious! A member of your faculty left a student behind and that's you have to say headmaster?!" she said, skeptical that he would not see anything wrong with it.
"As I've said before, he is fine and well. What does peak my interest is Mr .Arc's semblance and his appearance in the cafeteria. At first, I had thought that his semblance was the portal and that Arsenal of weaponry but now this? This is quite a puzzle that he has become." Said Ozpin, looking through footage of both Jaune's fight with team CRDL and when he walked into the cafeteria donned in his dark armor.
"A.. puzzle, sir?" she asked, curious on what is going through Ozpin's mind right now.
" Yes… a puzzle, from the moment you organized to have him put up against and his team in that match in your class, to now… Mr. Arc has become quite an enigma.." Ozpin took a sip of his coffee after that.
"Yeesh. The kid must really be something for you to consider him a puzzle Oz" a familiar voice rasped.
Ozpin smiled slightly, knowing what was coming next.
"Qrow, do you really have to, now of all times?," Glynda snapped, not surprised to see the dusty old crow in the room with them, "Do you have to be drinking right now?"
" Well I'm not one to procrastinate Glynda," Qrow said, holding his flask out, before taking a swing of it. He then turned to Ozpin with a stern look.
"and Oz, you calling that kid a puzzle is one way of saying it." Ozpin rose a brow, at the accusation while Glynda wondered what he meant.
"So you saw what happened then?" he said.
"Yeah I did, and all I can say is that kid is a brutal monster in a fight. I almost pitied the grimm he was fighting, well almost anyway" Qrow stated.
"I see," Ozpin said, sitting down in his large seat, "I guess Mr. Arc was a bit odd? I trust that you were able to gather information about him?"
"Seems like it," the other man shrugged, "Then again, all he turned to what I thought would be a grimm horde hunting him down before I had to jump into a slaughter of dead grimm bodies. Not like he had a chance to tell any lies."
"I would've found that hard to believe if I didn't see proof walked into the cafeteria earlier today," Glynda rubbed her forehead to cease her upcoming migraine.
"Yeah…I'm with you there Glynda… I'm still trying to wrap my head around what I saw." He said taking another swing of his flask, he took out his scroll and then handed it over to Ozpin.
"hmm?" Ozpin connected it to one of his screens as the video recorded on it played out for them to watch. It was a video of Jaune's grimm slaughter back at forever falls.
" Include. Berserker!" Jaune calls out
Light then envelope him and grew before it died down to show Jaune wrapped in the same black armor that they all saw before.
"Hmm…" Ozpin was intrigued for both times from his fight before and the recording that Qrow is shown as well. Jaune had said include before he fought...
"So… what's your take on the kid Oz? Honestly, I don't know why you had me watch some kid slaughter some Grimm, even if the kid's a monster at it from the amount he had piled up. I could be out on the field finding more info about the queen."
" The reason I had you watched over is because he wasn't that capable of a fighter before this. That and the fact that, for whatever reason, more Grimm were drawn to Mr. Arc during the field trip." Now that got Qrow's attention, the kid wasn't a fighter? What bullshit was Oz pulling?
Qrow cleaned out his ears before looking at Ozpin. "I'm sorry, I must've had some crazy shit in my ear, you must be kidding me Oz. That kid tore those Grimm apart as if he was a toddler ripping open his presents."
"Ozpin isn't lying to you, Qrow. Mr. Arc, before he is now was more... subpar than the rest of the students." Glynda explained
Qrow rubbed his temples out of annoyance. " I'm too sober for this shit.," he muttered, shaking his head before turning towards Ozpin.
"Alright Oz, what's the game plan you have in mind for this? Because this is already giving me a headache.
" You've done what all that you needed to do Qrow, Glynda can you watch over ? For anything…. new that comes up? I know you still would want him to go through your test you have in mind."
"Ah," taken back at being spoken too from the intense conversation." Yes I do. Here's the team I have in mind for Mr. Arc to face." She said as she hands him four folders.
" Hmm? Team CPPR? Quite an interesting….choice" he said, Glynda, nodding happily with him accepting her choice. He then turn back to Qrow, for whatever information he had gathered. "What do you have for me this time?" he asked the dusty crow
" Another White Fang recruitment ring. The third one I've shut down this month. They've been at it for a while, trying to build up their forces Oz"
"Curious," Ozpin said, steepling his fingers together. So the White Fang has been recruiting more to join their cause and this close to Vale as well… that is a dangerous fact for them to be this bold.
"And they've been this close to Vale," Ozpin admitted, "Yes, You're right. Ultimately what we gained from your little raids are quite informative. The White Fang would be more than willing to try again. Qrow I thank you for your help with our situation we have here. We can't have any risks with this queen, or any of her allies she may have"
[?]
"Sir!" Called out a person wearing similar clothing as others, all complete with a Grimm mask.
The person they were addressing was behind a desk.
"Yes, what is it?" Came a male voice, the man in question was a tall man with red and brown hair that spikes backward in a windswept way. While most of his hair is red, some of it in the back and several streaks were brown. He has small horns coming out from his head, showing his faunus heritage.
A noticeable trait of his appearance is the grimm mask he wears.
His mask is whitish-tan with red, Japanese style, flame-like symbols decorating the front, and two slits on each side, presumably to allow for vision. This looked to be a redesigned version of the Grimm mask the grunt before him wears.
The man wears a long-sleeved black trench coat with slit sleeves and more red designs and a white symbol on the left side. His trench coat is red on the inside with red flame-like accents at the bottom and a large emblem on the back, with a white tulip design covered by a red rose design. His trench coat is half-buttoned, exposing a red shirt with a black line running parallel to his collar under it.
He wears long black pants, black shoes with red soles, and black gloves with more red emblems on their forehand.
He was currently looking over documents for future operations.
" We have some…..humans… that wish to talk with you again" the White Fang grunt said with some disdain, the man nodded with a small scowled.
'Great…. Her again. *Sigh* might as well see what she wants' he thought with disgust, he's met the one that his fellow faunus was talking about and he hated her with such a passion.
"I see…" he let out a sigh before looking at the grunt. " Very well, see what they want and if it demands my attention, I'll be there." He said as the grunt nod and left the office.
' Tch. Humans… nothing but vermin the lot of them…' he thought.
Humans… it was those humans that ridicule them and discriminate them, it was because of them that faunus can never be free from being suppressed and treated as animals.
All humans are the same…
Well… that's not entirely true…
He thought back to a time when he was young and didn't know the cruelty of the world and the pain of his kind.
A time where he was at peace with the ones he calls family even if they were all human… especially the one that looked up to him when he was nothing but a toddler.
His hands found their way underneath his red shirt to pull out a necklace with a whitish shield with golden twin crescent arcs on it with the name Adam engraved on the bottom of it.
He turned around to open the blinds of his Windows and see the night sky, never noticing the two cards floating onto his desk under the lamp light.
Things were about to get interesting
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Well shit is going to go down on the next chapter to come. Also we found out a bit more on Nick's past and his family, also we got Jaune using Berserker! Congrats on those who guess who he was going to be… also to answer any one that was wondering how Jaune was able to keep using Berserker for two days… Well to be fair Jaune would be smart to use Berserker for a while before taking a break and then using it again for the two days to get to Beacon… anyway I wondered if you can tell who Caster is going to be.. anyway heres berserker's stats.
Berserker Include State:
STR: A (B)
CON: A (B)
AGI: A+ (B+)
MGI: C (D)
LCK: B (C)
Mad Enhancement: (N/A)
Usually, at a B ranking, this ability is sealed when in the Include state by the Class Card in order to protect Jaune's mind from its effects, but on the other hand, the card is not able to completely negate the effect of this skill. Because of this when Jaune Includes the Berserker card he will receive feelings of extreme rage and anger, which will act as a beacon for any grimm when he first includes the class card. This skill increases the ranking of all basic stats by one but at the cost of the user's sanity, since the skill has been sealed this enhancement is no longer in effect.
Protection of the faeries: A (B)
Is a blessing from Elementals; the capacity to increase one's Luck in dangerous situations. Activation is limited to battlefields, where it is possible to perform feats of arms. Lowered down due to being in include state.
Eternal Arms Mastership: A (B+)
Having a mastership of combat arts has reached the point of being said to be unrivaled in one's era. By complete merging of mind, body and technique, it is possible to make use of full fighting skills even when under the influence of any sort of mental hindrance. With this Jaune will be able to use any weapon that comes to his grasp with great skill.
Knight of Honor: A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands: A++ (B++)
Rather than an overt weapon, it manifests as a "unique ability" retained by his body. Once Berserker grabs hold of anything that can be even remotely conceptualized as a weapon by his own recognition with his gauntlets and he recognizes that he wishes to wield it, it instantly gains the property of "becoming his Noble Phantasm." Even control of other Servants' Noble Phantasms will instantly go to him should he grab hold of them. It can only be activated for objects recognized as "this is a weapon", so he could use a steel chair if he happened to be skilled in wrestling.
At this level, he can use any weapon with familiarity bordering on mastery. Due to the Include state, only things considered as actual weapons may be turned into 'his' weapons.
Magic Resistance: E (F)
grants protection against magical effects. Differently, from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether at this level it Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
Saber: ?
Lancer: ?
Archer: Child-Gil (Grand Order)
Caster: ?
Rider: ?
Berserker: Lancelot (Fate/Zero)
Assassin: ?
