Chapter 2

The next morning, Jaune was in their workout room on the heavy bag, throwing hammer-like blows as he was picturing Cardin's face. 'Son of a Bitch!' He thought, 'he makes me ashamed to be human!' Pyrrha had seen him working himself to exhaustion, he was soaked in sweat, his punches didn't have the 'umph' as they once had. He was breathing hard, he collapsed to his knees.

She ran over to him and she heard him wheezing. She held him, not worrying about the sweat. "It's okay, he'll get his." She said softly.

"I just -huff huff- can't stand -huff huff- injustice!" He said tiredly, "I -wheeze- made a promise! To take care -huff huff- of her."

"Sh, it's alright." She said, "You're working too hard. I'm sure Professor Goodwitch will let you rest, you are already ahead of our classes."

"It's al'ight, I can get to class." He tried to get up but she held him down.

"No, you're getting some rest." Then she called out to Ruby, "get Goodwitch." Ruby nodded and went to get her.

Later, the blonde combat teacher came in and saw the young man she loved with all her heart damn near dead due to exhaustion. "What happened?" She said as she went over to him.

"Cardin," said Pyrrha.

"He… he." Jaune tried to speak.

"Just relax."

"He wa… wa."

"Jaune, relax." Said Goodwitch, "I don't want you hurting yourself." He laid back down as Glynda softly stroked his hair. "I knew this was going to happen." The others looked at her, "there is a reason why his family didn't want him to be a hunter. Jaune has a weak heart."

"A what?" Said Weiss.

"Yes, we need to get him to his dorm. Before he has a heart attack." So they picked him up and took him to his room.

Later Glynda had called his mother, who sighed over the scroll. [I knew this was going to happen. How is he?]

"He's resting."

[Should've slaughtered that damned clan when I had the chance! Let me guess, he wants to stay?]

"Yes, you know he wants to prove he's just as good as the others to you."

[Jaune has nothing to prove to me! He could be a quadriplegic and I'd still love him. Glynda? Protect him.]

"Is there any doubt?" With that, she went to check on Jaune. She met up with a doctor. "What's wrong doctor?"

"There's damage to his heart. He's gonna need surgery."

"My Oum, what surgery?"

"Basically he needs something mechanical in it." Just then, Jaune woke up.

"My bag… blueprints." He said, Glynda, looked in his bag and found blueprints for a device that has nano bites that could fix his heart.

"He knew," she said. "Jaune knew his heart was weakened."

"This is impressive," said the doctor. "Who are we going to get to this built?" Then they heard a *ding*.

They looked over and saw the 'party' group.

Fe-Night: Sis, I need you.

They waited and then something popped up.

Joan-d'Arc: It's time? Mom's worried.

Fe-Night: Yes, I need it or I'm dead.

Joan-d'Arc: We're on the way.

Fe-Night: Hurry!

Joan-d'Arc has left the group.

Jaune went back to sleep. "They need to hurry." Said the doctor. Glynda left his room and called his mother.

[Jaune did what?]

"He contacted Joan and came up with a way to save himself. He needs her to make it."

[We are on the way.]

(Arcadia)

The Empress of Arcadia, Rebecca Arc, was a very tall and beautiful woman. She was very powerful, super strong, fast and takes shit from no one. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes.

She was in blue and gold armor, brown slacks, boots and a sleeveless cloak. She rushed to the royal hangar and caught up with her daughter.

"WAIT!" She said a young woman looked over to her. She had shoulder length dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes, dressed in a T-shirt, shorts, boots, vest and was carrying a pad. There was equipment that would save their loved one's life.

"Yeah, mom?" She said.

"I want to go."

"Alright." So they took off and head for Vale and Beacon.

(Beacon)

RWBY and PNR were getting worried about Jaune. They had heard his heart was now bad. They knew something about someone named 'Joan-d'Arc' was coming to help him.

"Who is she?" Said Yang.

"His sister, I think." Said Ruby.

"Jaune has a sister?"

"Eight, actually." Said Pyrrha, the others were surprised.

"EIGHT?"

"Yeah."

"Wow." Said Weiss.

"And are they all coming here?" Said Blake.

"I don't know," said Pyrrha. Just then Goodwitch walked over to them.

"Only one of his sisters and their mother are coming." She said.

"His mother?"

"Yes, you haven't met her, have you? Well, she is the Empress of Arcadia."

"Empress?"

"Wait Arcadia?" Said Weiss, "That's one of the most powerful kingdoms in all of Remnant!"

"Yes and Jaune is heir apparent." The others paled and gulped. "Don't worry, you didn't do anything to him did you?" They shook their heads. "The you have nothing to worry about."

(Beacon's hanger)

The royal bullhead of Arcadia landed and out stepped guards, Joan and Rebecca. Ozpin and Glynda had met them.

"Your Highness," said Ozpin as they bowed.

"Hello, Oscar." She said, "where is he?"

"Resting in one of the ICU rooms." Said Glynda.

"I want to see him." So they went to see Jaune and Rebecca cried. He looked so helpless.

"Mom, we're going to help him." Said Joan. Rebecca nodded and started to walk out.

"Do what you can, save your brother." Joan nodded and Rebecca left. Glynda and Ozpin walked out with her, "I want that son of a bitch Winchester."

"Alright," said Ozpin. So they went to a room where he would meet up with her.

(RWBY and JNPR's workout room)

Cardin had walked in with all the swagger in the world. "So, you're the girl that wanted my autograph?" He said she turned around to him and he suddenly crapped his pants.

"Cardin Winchester," she said. "You're the little bitch that Harold called 'Daddy's lil disappointment'?" Cardin glupped.

"YOU'RE that failure's mother?" He said he didn't say anything else as his jaw almost flew off his face.

"I am so going to enjoy this one!" She shrugged off her robe and started to beat the ever-loving hell out of him.

(Three hours later)

Rebecca wiped up some blood off her nose and her lip, "now I hoped you learned your lesson." She said as she grabbed her cloak and threw it over her shoulder. Cardin was a mess, broken bones, cuts, slashes, was almost bleeding out. "You talk like that about my son again, EVER! This will be a dream to you, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"

"Yes… Ma'am." He said weakly.

"Good, I'm glad we could have this discussion." With that, she left.

'You'll pay for this Arc!' He thought.

Cardin, you got a lot to learn.
