To all fans of Skyrim Mods, Beyond Skyrim: Bruma is now out on the Nexus. The first mod in the Beyond Skyrim series is finally out. Unfortunately (for me at least) the full Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodil, will only be available for special edition. Because Oldrim won't be able to handle this much apparently.
Anyway now that announcement is out of the way, now for the main A/N, so fun fact about the introduction to Team CVFY last chapter. Originally I planned for Team SVGD to meet them after Getsuga helped Velvet and thanking him, but I thought nah, Coco teasing Kuyou and Velvet is much more fun.
Also something I've been meaning to say for a while but kept forgetting, at his point I'd like to see a Reading of this fic. I want to see Teams RWBY and JNPR doing the reading. Maybe add Qrow into the mix. If you want to do the reading send me a pm.
Also before I forget, for those of you who aren't already aware, I made another Skyrim x RWBY crossover called Third Branwen. I really recommend you check it out as some people like that one better than this one. So if you like this story. Chances are you'll love Third Branwen.
Also people seem to have misunderstood what the Make your own Dragonborn contest was for. It's not for this fic. It's for a multicrossover I'm planning called Magical Multiverse War. A crossover between Dragonfable, Star vs the Forces of Evil, Fire Emblem Fates, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Skyrim. Also thinking of adding Maplestory to the mix. Anyway since there is a battle and adventure across the multiverse, there is the possibility for Multiple Dragonborns. Hence the Make your Own Dragonborn Contest. Also I like interacting with you people. That's why I asked you to send it via pm.
The pairing's so far
Kyr x Serana (4-5 votes (lost track via third branwen lol))
Silver x Coco (1 vote)
Jaune x Pyrrha
Ren x Nora
Blake x Sun
Getsuga x Weiss
Kuyou x Velvet
Now somethings to be said about the pairings, well I just got my first (and possibly second don't know if it was the same guest lol I don't know this sites policy with review and guests) pairing vote for Kyr that wasn't for Serana. I got a vote for Kyr x Yang. Unfortunately Serana is still in the lead, and I'm making the deadline for Kyr's pairing be the time this chapter comes out.
Also I really wrote myself into a corner pairing wise when I made Silver's character lol. Apparently the way I wrote him the best ideal pairing's for him are either Pyrrha, whom I will only do if there is good reason and serious popular demand, and Ruby, whom I will not do period for plot related reasons I can't yet disclose. Luckily someone suggested Coco.
Anyway disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or Skyrim, if I did, we'd have a proper follow up to Raven's cryptic scene at the end of Vol 2.
Chapter 6: Jaunedice part 2: Hero
Jaune was suddenly hanging out with Team CRDL a lot lately nobody knew why.
Well nobody except for Pyrrha and Kyr, the latter of which was eavesdropping.
Jaune was in the library preparing to do essays for Team CRDL when he found himself approached by Kyr, "This no way for you to live," said Kyr.
Jaune nearly dropped his books.
"Kyr what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I overheard your conversation with Pyrrha," said Kyr.
Jaune was about to say something but Kyr cut him off, "I don't care about sneaking your way into beacon, I'm actually impressed by that. Sneaking your way into an organization without being detected is a very useful skill."
"No I want to talk to you about refusing training from Pyrrha," added Kyr.
Jaune was about to speak but Kyr cut him off again, "While wanting to do things on your own is admirable you need to be guided, trained, and given a push in the right direction before you get to that point."
It was at that point Jaune snapped, "That's easy for you to say. You're the strongest first year, if not the strongest student in all of Beacon!"
Kyr grinned, "Are you really so naïve as to think I became this strong over night?"
Jaune was silent at that.
"I never would have gotten to where I am without my many mentors, more importantly you are a leader now. How strong you are is irrelevant, your team mates depend on you. You don't have the luxury to do things on your own. Any decision you make can make the team rise or fall. It's not just about you anymore, you cannot just think of yourself."
At the last part Kyr gained a somber expression on his face, "I learned that the hard way."
"What do you mean?" asked Jaune.
"As you said I am the strongest first year, if not the strongest person in Beacon. I am a one man army and a force of nature, as a result I was once arrogant. However I usually went on missions solo, so I could afford to be arrogant. Then in my first time leading, my entire squad ended up dead, and I ended up in a coma."
"I'll let you know this Jaune, all of my friends from before Beacon are dead, but I will not wallow in self-pity, that would dishonor their memory, instead I aspire to become the hero they want me to be."
Jaune looked at Kyr in a whole new light.
"Let me sing you a ballad Jaune, this one is one of my favorites, an ode to the Stormcloaks of the Skyrim era. Age of Oppression"
We drink to our youth to the days come and gone
For the Age of Oppression is now nearly done
We'll drive out the empire from this land that we own
With our blood and our steel we will take back our home
All hail to Ulfric you are the High King,
In your great honor we drink and we sing
We're the children of Skyrim and we fight all our lives
And when Sovengarde beckons every one of us dies
But his land is ours and we'll see it wiped clean
Of the scourge that has sullied our hopes and our dreams
All hail to Ulfric you are the High King,
In your great honor we drink and we sing
We're the children of Skyrim and we fight all our lives
And when Sovengarde beckons every one of us dies.
Kyr then put his Lute away, "Think about what I said, and what it means to be a hero."
Jaune was standing outside his room when he was approached by Ruby.
"Hey Jaune," she said as Jaune turned around.
"Long time no see. Did you lock yourself out again?"
"Nope got it," said Jaune holding up his scroll.
"So," began Ruby, "Where have you been lately?"
"I… I messed up, I did something I shouldn't have, and Cardin's got me on a leash and Pyrrha won't even talk to me… I'm starting to think coming to the school was a bad idea…" Jaune said as he slumped to the floor.
"I'm a failure" he said.
"Nope," said Ruby.
"Nope?" said Jaune confused.
"Nope," agreed Ruby, "you're a leader now Jaune, you're not allowed to be a failure."
"But what if I'm a failure at being a leader?" asked Jaune.
"Nope," Ruby responded.
"You know you're not the easiest person to talk to about this kind of stuff," said Jaune.
"Nope," Ruby agreed.
"Jaune maybe you were a failure when you were a kid," began Ruby as Jaune sighed and slumped down further.
"And you might have even been a failure the first day we met," Ruby continued as Jaune groaned and slumped down even further.
"But you can't be one now you know why?" Ruby continued.
"Uhh because-" began Jaune before he was interrupted by Ruby again.
"Because it's not just about you anymore. You've got a team now Jaune, we all do, you me and Kyr, and if we fail we'll just be bringing them down with us. We have to put our teammates first, and ourselves second. Your team deserves a great leader Jaune, and I think that can be you."
Jaune chuckled, "You know it's funny, Kyr said something similar to me today."
Ruby smiled, "Kyr knows his stuff," she said, "good night Jaune."
Jaune then got a call from Cardin requesting a bag of Rapier wasps.
Jaune sighed going on a rapier wasp hunt.
(next day, Forever fall)
The students were on a trip to the forest of forever fall preparing to collect jars of sap for their assignment.
Jaune had to gather six jars for Cardin's crew.
"Heh great work Jauney boy, now that wasn't too hard was it?" asked Cardin as Jaune was laying on the floor.
"I think I'm allergic to this stuff," said Jaune dizzy.
"Great, great, great, great," said Cardin ignoring the comment, "Now Jaune, I'm betting you're asking yourself, 'why did my buddy Cardin ask me to collect 6 jars of trees sap when there's only 5 of us?'"
"That is one of the many questions I have asked myself today yes," responded Jaune.
"Well come with me and you'll find out," said Cardin grinning.
Jaune gulped.
Later Jaune and Team CRDL were watching the other teams gathering sap.
Kyr was nowhere in sight for some reason though, weird.
"Cardin," began Jaune, "what's going on?"
Cardin got a dark look on his face and just said "payback."
Jaune noticed Cardin was glaring at Pyrrha.
"Pyrrha?" Jaune asked.
"That's the girl," said Cardin, "red hair, know it all, thinks she's so smart."
Cardin then got out a box, "alright boys," he began, "last night old Jauney-boy managed to round up a box of rapier wasps. And now we're gonna put em to work."
"Now according to one of the essays you wrote for me last week, these things love sweets. I'm think it's time we teach her a thing or two."
"What about Getsuga?" asked Jaune remembering there petty squabble before.
Cardin just looked at Jaune like he grew a second head, "Are joking right, if I did this to Getsuga, he'd kick my ass."
Jaune noticed this was the first time he didn't call Getsuga mutt.
"Anyway you're gonna teach Pyrrha the lesson," said Cardin handing Jaune the sap.
"Either that or I'll have chat with Goodwitch, and you'll be on the first airship out of Beacon."
Jaune readied the sap but then Kyr's words began to echo in his head.
You don't have the luxury to do things on your own. Any decision you make can make the team rise or fall, it's not just about you anymore, you cannot just think of yourself.
I will not wallow in self-pity, that would dishonor their memory, instead I aspire to become the hero they want me to be.
Think about what I said, and what it means to be a hero.
"No," said Jaune.
"What did you say?" asked Cardin.
"I said NO!" shout Jaune throwing the sap jar at Cardin.
"Oh ho ho, you've done it now," said Cardin as CRDL grabbed Jaune.
Cardin then proceeded to beat Jaune.
"You know that wasn't very smart, Jauney boy," said Cardin.
He then grabbed Jaune, "I'm gonna make sure they send you back to mommy in Teeny tiny pieces," he said.
"I don't care what you do to me," said Jaune, "but you are NOT messing with my team."
"What you think talk like that makes you tough? You think you're a big strong man now?" asked Cardin.
Jaune just smiled.
Cardin then punched Jaune and was engulfed in a bright light.
Cardin's hand suddenly hurt and Jaune was covered in a glow that healed him.
"Huh?" asked Jaune confused.
"Let's see how much of a man you really are," said Cardin angrily.
Then a roar echoed through the forest as an Ursa Major appeared.
And it was attracted to the sap on Cardin's armor.
"That's a big Ursa!" shouted one of the members of CRDL as they ran and Cardin got swiped by the Ursa's paw.
The Ursa went for Cardin while he was on the ground.
Cardin tried to pick up his mace to deflect but the Ursa just swatted it aside.
Jaune was then suddenly realizing what it meant to be hero.
"Run! Ursa! Ursa!" shouted Russel as his teammates ran past everyone else.
"What where?" said Yang grabbing Russel.
"Back there it's got Cardin," said Russel.
"Jaune," said Pyrrha.
"Yang, Blake, you two go find professor Goodwitch," said Ruby.
"You two go with them," said Pyrrha to Ren and Nora, as she pulled out Milo and Akuo and Ruby pulled out Crescent Rose, "There could be more."
"Getsuga, Kuyou, you join them as well," said Silver drawing Goldbrand and Will of Tiber Septim.
Meanwhile he was thinking, Where the hell is Kyr at a time like this?
Kyr meanwhile was hiding in the shadows observing as the Ursa beat Cardin.
He saw Ruby, Weiss, Pyrrha, and Silver arrive.
Silver managed to notice him, but he put a finger to his lips, and Silver just nodded.
Meanwhile Cardin was still getting manhandled by the Ursa.
"Crap, crap, crap," said Cardin.
Was this how his bully victims felt?
"Oh no," said Pyrrha.
Silver said nothing.
He figured Kyr must have had a reason for not intervening.
It was soon he saw why.
Jaune defended Cardin with his shield.
Weiss prepared to attack, and Pyrrha said "wait."
"This is his fight," said Silver.
Jaune and the Ursa continued to exchange blows as Jaune got more damage.
Jaune looked at his Aura and saw he wouldn't be able to take another hit.
Jaune proceed to charge at the Ursa as it leaped at him.
Its claw was heading towards his head, but Jaune suddenly felt a power inside of him that he never felt before and it was begging to be released.
"Fus!" shouted Jaune.
Even Kyr was surprised by this.
The Ursa staggered off course but it's claw would still hit Jaune, that is, if Pyrrha hadn't used her semblance to move Jaune's shield into the right postion.
Jaune then decapitated the Ursa.
"What?" asked Ruby.
"How did you—?" Weiss began.
"Well," said Pyrrha, "Ruby has her speed, you have your glyphs, Silver has his gravity manipulation, my semblance is polarity," explained Pyrrha.
"Whoa you can control poles," said Ruby.
Silver just face palmed.
"No you dunce," said Weiss, "It means she has control over Magnetism."
"Magnets are cool too," said Ruby.
Pyrrha and Silver started to leave.
"Wait where are you two going?" asked Weiss.
"Yeah we have to tell them what happened," said Ruby.
"We could," said Pyrrha, "Or we could keep it our little secret."
Silver smirked, "If this was something we were meant to tell Jaune, then Kyr would have intervened sooner," he said.
It was then that Ruby, Weiss and Pyrrha noticed Kyr hiding in the shadows as Jaune walked up to Cardin.
Cardin meanwhile was going through many emotions, shame at what he did to Jaune, and gratitude, that Jaune saved him despite what he did.
Jaune helped Cardin up.
"Don't ever mess with my team, my friends ever again," said Jaune, "Got it?"
Cardin then proceeded to look shameful, but then he saw something, a creeper that was glowing green for some reason was heading toward Jaune from behind.
Cardin was about to warn him when they both heard a "Wuld!" and saw Kyr cu right through the glowing creeper.
"Man good thing it wasn't an evolved on this time," said Kyr as he sheathed the Storm Blade.
"Kyr?" asked Jaune surprised.
"That was impressive Jaune," said Kyr.
"How long have you been here?" Jaune asked.
"The entire time," said Kyr, "I was waiting to see how you would handle the situation, and how you could handle that Ursa. I was planning to intervene if it looked like you would go down, so you and Cardin were never in any danger here."
"Now go back Jaune, everyone is worried about you," said Kyr.
Once Jaune was gone, Cardin said, "Thank you."
"You didn't have to help me, neither of you did," said Cardin, "Especially when I've been such a jerk lately."
Kyr put a hand on Cardin's shoulder
"Nobody's perfect Cardin, you're not a bad guy I know you're not. But you can't be picking fights with everyone, I mean what would ancestor Galmar the Stonefist say?"
Cardin's eyes widened at the mention of his Nirn ancestor but filed that away for later.
"This was a lesson for both of you Cardin," said Kyr.
"Jaune needed a lesson in confidence, and you needed a lesson in humility."
(later that night)
Jaune was standing on the roof again.
"No Cardin tonight?" asked Pyrrha, who was accompanied by Kyr this time.
"I thought you two were best buds," said Pyrrha.
"Pyrrha," said Jaune, "I'm sorry, I was a jerk, you were only trying to be nice and I had all this stupid macho stuff in my head," Jaune rambled.
"Jaune," interrupted Pyrrha, "It's okay."
"Your team really misses their leader you know," she added.
"You should come down, Ren made pancakes, no syrup though, you can thank Nora for that," she said walking off.
"Wait," said Jaune and Pyrrha stpped.
"I know I don't deserve it, but do you think you'd still be willing to help me, to help me become a better fighter."
Pyrrha just smiled and walked up to Jaune and pushed him over.
"Hey," said Jaune.
"Your stance is all wrong, you need to be wider and lower to the ground," said Pyrrha.
"And he's not going to be your only teacher," said Kyr.
"While she's teaching you the basics, I'm gonna help you with more advanced techniques, as well as help you master your newly acquired semblance," said Kyr.
"I will also help you with your mastery over the Thu'um."
"Wait what?" asked Jaune.
"You unleashed the Thu'um against that Ursa," said Kyr, "I think you might be Dragonborn, or at least descended from one. So you don't need as much training as most people do."
Jaune and Pyrrha looked amazed, then a voice said, "Do you think you could train me as well Kyr?"
Everyone turned to see it was spoken by Cardin.
"Sure Cardin," said Kyr, "But you're gonna need to be nicer, and apologize to everyone you've bullied.
Chapter end.
This chapter is done! This Arc is Done! Also the bit about Cardin being descended from Galmar the Stonefist, I'm gonna confess I thought of that at the last minute lol. That's basically how a lot of my fics work.
90% is planned out ahead of time.
5% is adapting to future reveals
5% I make up as I go along.
Anyway, Jaune's character arc is now over, now the moment everyone has been waiting for, Kyr's character arc, also known as the Volkahir Industries arc, where Serana will finally make her debut in this story.
Also looks like Serana wins the pairing for Kyr.
Yang came so close though.
But no matter you can still vote for a pairing for Silver.
Anyway, I will now do a Q&A session. Ask me anything about this fic. How a came up with characters, how a came up with their semblances, where someone's name came from etc. I will answer them at the end of the next chapter.
Anyway if you have any questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, constructive criticism, or you just wanna say hi, please leave a review.
