Author's note: Okay back in the game, probably gonna take a while for each chapter because I have many requests for other stories. But let me explain this quick little short because this happened to me. Also, tip for you girls, don't give your bf the nickname daddy. Here's why...

It was a normal evening as Yang, Taiyang and Tucker were sitting down for a normal dinner. Taiyang had begun to warm up to the fact that his daughter was dating someone like Tucker. And Tucker was okay with letting bygones be bygones so he didn't live in fear of Taiyang.

Things couldn't be perfect, Yang's Dad was on one side of the table, and Tucker on the other. Two of the most important men in her life, just 3 ft from each other. Nothing could be perfect, however her food was missing some flavor to it. She looked up, "Pass the salt, daddy." She said with a smile.

Taiyang reached for the white salt shaker, and was within an inch away from it when his hand touched another one. He looked up with a confused look on his face, to look Tucker in the eyes. They had a glance then turned to Yang for an explanation, then Taiyang had an idea. He grabbed his daughter's phone, "Okay, I'm gonna keep calm and explain this with technology," He clicked a button, "Sherry, Call Daddy." Taiyang grinned at his soon to be victory of dominance.

When the phone lit up it asked him a question, "Okay...Which one?" He looked at Tucker then turned off the scroll. Immediately Tucker left the room.

Okay, okay, just wanted to get that thought out of the way. And besides time for you team RNJPRL or JNPRRL, I don't know the team with Locus and Pyrrah now.

Nora and Ren were arguing about how to decide a team name that would make sense. Nora was trying to say team JNPRRL is better than, "All I'm saying is that there are way more members of team JNPR than team RWBY. It makes more sense to go with that one." She stated.

Ren retaliated, "But that's not even a color or a word, how do you pronounce it?" He asked.

Nora groaned as she couldn't get her point across, "How can I be more CLEAR." She said as she pointed to an imaginary sign of the letters for team JNPRRL, "One...Two...Three...Four. That's way more than two." She said.

Ren replied, "But we're helping Ruby with her objective, and Locus knows Church best." He said as he pointed to the new order of team RLJNPR, "Wouldn't that make her the leader?" He asked.

"-Guys," Jaune whispered to them from behind a downed tree, "We need to focus." He said sounding serious, "Also JNPRRL sounds way cooler." He finished.

Nora was relieved, "EXACTLY!" She shouted.

Ren just sighed, as he gave up the argument the ground beneath them shook with an amazing force. Jaune saw some pebbles next to him shake, "It's here." he said.

From atop the cliff's treeline Ruby came bursting out of the trees with a Rock Grimm coming after her. She fired multiple shots at the Grimm monster hoping it would at least wound it. She flew over the cliff leading the monster to a fall, she fell from branch to branch, "BAD-LANDING-STRADEGY!" She screamed on the way down.

Luckily she landed on a tree, but moved just in time to avoid being smashed as the monster broke the tree she was on. It smashed all the trees including the ones surrounding team JNPR. Pyrrah loaded her javelin/sword/rifle, "Let's keep that thing off her." she said as her and Jaune flanked right.

Ren jumped from tree to tree to get onto a higher branch above the ground. Nora followed right after, "Don't forget about meeee!" She said as she shot a grenade at her foot, spiraling her onto the same branch.

As Nora landed a cloaked figure came out of hiding to speak, "We need to draw it's attention away from Ruby," Locus said as he became visible.

Ruby flew by their heads, "-could use some help," she pleaded as she fired sniper rounds at the rock. Locus pulled out a sticky grenade launcher, while Nora fired a few rounds as they fired it at the monster's back. Ren leaped from tree to tree to get as many shots off as possible from his automatic pistols. The monster smashed the trees while Ren ran on it's arm, Ren then launched himself into the air. He then spun around trying to slash the rock, Ren tried to stab the rocks then but had no success.

Jaune tried to advise his friends, "We got to get in closer." He shouted.

Ren landed next to Jaune, "My blades don't hurt it." He said.

Nora realized they were fucked, "Crap." She said.

Ruby and Locus had a different idea, "How about THIS?" She asked as Locus was switching to his sniper rifle. Ruby loaded in a lighting clip, while Locus loaded up an explosive clip in his sniper rifle. Ruby zoomed up to it as Locus went backwards, she fired a single shot at it's arm. The stone arm began to spark, the stone giant slammed his arm as the group flew back from the force.

Most of the team landed perfectly, all but Jaune, who tumbled til his nuts hit a boulder, "You don't need a weapon, you're the Strategist." He said sarcastically in pain.

Locus suddenly turned visible next to him, "I offered you a gun, but you kept complaining about recoil." He said as he fired his sniper rifle.

Jaune started to get up, "Your guns are way too powerful," Jaune complained.

Locus shook his head, "I gave you a pistol, with a stock, a hand grip at the front, and a suppressor. How's that too powerful?" He asked as he disappeared again.

Nora had enough, "THAT'S IT." She said as she began to charge at it, making her grenade launcher into a hammer. She ran low and steady, when she was in range she smashed the boulders as hard as she could. So hard, the boulders making up it's right arm scattered all across the battlefield, some coming back to them. Jaune saw most coming in his direction, he did the five Ds of dodging things. But the last rock had managed to knock him back into a tree that had no leaves on it. However Jaune had no idea he was in a bad position at the moment.

The monster had a large red circle appear where his right boulder arm was once. It then showed a dark shadowed hand with claws attached to it, emerging from the circle. He reached his arm out and planted into a leafless tree, a tree Jaune was near.

Jaune saw the monster uproot the tree from the ground as he ran away, "His arm is a tree. HIS ARM IS A TREE!" He shouted as he avoided being swung at.

Ruby grabbed a hold of her scythe, "Big mistake." She said as she loaded in a fire clip. With one shot the bullet seemed to fly straight to the monster's arm.

Jaune looked back for a moment with cheer, but it ended when he saw the monster's arm on fire, "Big mistake!" He yelled as he ran away from the fire. He tripped, when he looked as if the journey was over, a pair of sniper shots made impact forcing it back. Jaune looked left to see Locus, and Pyrrah helping him up off the ground.

Jaune began to form a plan, "Okay how do we do this?" He asked himself.

"His body is too think to break through..." Locus stated.

"It doesn't care about its body..." Jaune added.

"Plus it can keep adding new limbs..." Pyrrah chimed in.

"But it's protecting it's face..." Jaune countered.

"We can't break it." Ruby finished.

A full plan came into place, "If we knocked all it's limbs off at once and went for the..." The plan was finally pieced together. He turned to everyone with the new plan, "Guys, I got it. We hit it, harder." He said as he felt pumped.

Ren as well as the others looked confused, "Is that it?" He asked.

Jaune made sense of his plan, "No, seriously. Its trying to keep us from it's face. If we kill the limbs, we'll have a shot to kill the whole thing." He explained.

Ruby was the first one to respond, "Alright, let's do this team."

Followed by Nora, "Yeah!"

Then Ren, "Right."

And Pyrrah, "Okay, then."

And lastly Locus who simply nodded in agreement, Jaune begun to give directions, "Ren, Locus, left. Ruby, Pyrrah, right. And Nora, ready to try out the new upgrade?" He asked as she nodded and leaped away, "Right, then I will-" He was about to say before nearly being crushed by the stone giant.

Ruby had begun to attempt to slash at it's back to divert it's attention from Jaune. She had put a few scratches on it before it back handed her, flinging Ruby away. Jaune looked back at Nora then nodded to Locus for a big distraction. Locus switched out a clip in his SAW light machine gun, and equipped explosive tipped bullets. He began firing a furious hurricane of explosive bullets at the beast making it fall back from his hits.

Ren landed on its stone arm and began to aim for its unprotected face. Pyrrah launched her javelin/sword/rifle, (Whatever her weapon name is) at it's tree arm to get it's focus on her for a split second. Ruby came in for another attack behind the beast's back in attempt to chip a few pieces off the rock.

Nora was waiting as patiently as she could be, "Ready." She said as her hammer was shocking electricity.

Ruby had landed next to Jaune who gave everyone the final cue, "USE EVERYTHING YOU GOT!" He shouted to everyone.

Ruby flew into rose petals as she picked up Nora, ready to finish this. The beast attempts to cover it's unprotected face with it's tree arm as Nora and Ruby are spiraling towards it. They smash through the arm as Nora dropped her hammer down upon that thing.

The beast was left with nothing but it's stone body, as it left the stone then transformed into a spirit like creature. Nora nodded at Locus, Pyrrah, and Ruby as they all pulled out their rifles and aimed at the spirit. It was retreating when all three of them fired aiming for it's head, killing it at the same time.

Jaune ran to the center of everyone to cheer, "Another win for team JNPRRL," Jaune realized how bad the name was, "Alright, y'know Ren, I think you're onto something. It...It...It's just not sounding great anymore." He said as they walked off.

A man wearing a red robe and wielding a spiritual cane, "We truly can't thank you enough." He said as he shook Ruby's hand.

"Just doing our job, sir." Ruby said humbly

"That Geist had been plaguing our village for weeks," He explained to the group, "We were beginning to wonder if we'd have to relocate."

"Well, we are on our way to Mistral..." Ruby began to invite, "You could always come along with us if you don't feel safe." Ruby offered.

The man looked at the team with a smile, "Heh, I take it you're not from these parts," He implied, "Anima is a large continent, I'm afraid our people would never survive the long trek to Mistral. It may be safer in the Kingdoms, but we prefer our way of life." He finished as he shook his head, "I just wish I could offer you more." He said.

Ren stepped forward, "Our previous arrangement is more than sufficient." He said as the group of 6 bowed to him.

[Timeskip]

At the blacksmith, Jaune was ready to get new armor, from Locus, a new friend they had acquired. It was once a friend's of his armor, a friend who had been corrupted by greed, violence, and vengeance.

The blacksmith came out with the white chest plate mixed with a black outline of black. He plopped the heavy armor on the table, "There you go, son." The man who was a bull faunus smiled, "It's gonna be heavier than you're used to, but you'll thank me the next time you go up against a set of claws."

Jaune was taken back by the details in the armor, "Wow...uh...I don't know what to say..." He said as he gazed at his new protection.

The bull faunus smiled, "Don't gotta say anything. Just put it on." He insisted, "I'll go get the rest." He said as he disappeared into the back room.

A long silence entered the room as the man left, "So...What are you waiting for?" Nora asked interrupting the silence.

Jaune hesitated for a moment, "Oh, uh right." He said as he took off his previous chest piece, "Guess I was going to grow out of it eventually." He said as he remembered how his old armor had many memories.

Ren smiled eventhough Jaune couldn't see it, "A sign of progress." He said.

Jaune nodded in agreement, "Progress." He said as he turned to face the group. Immediately he begun to hear chuckles from Ruby and Pyrrah, "Wha-What is it?" Jaune asked as a small smile formed on Locus's lips.

Through laughter Ruby was able to speak, "What is THAT?" Ruby asked seeing the bunny on his shirt.

Jaune looked down at his hoodie, "What, my hoodie. I've always had this." He said.

Ruby tried to say something else but was too busy keeping in laughter, "IT'S GOT A CUTE LITTLE BUNNY ON IT!" Ruby finally got out.

Jaune became slightly embarrassed, "It's Pumpkin Pete, y'know from the cereal." He said trying to protect his dignity.

Ruby's sides were hurting, "What did you do!? Send in a box top for a prize!?" She asked while nearly dieing from laughter.

Jaune nodded his head as Ruby kept laughing, "Yeah, fifty." He said as he turned his back towards them.

Locus gave a small chuckle, then a smile, "Even soldiers need something to hold onto." He said as he nodded at Jaune.

The blacksmith came back with a Jaune's new sword and shield planted them vertically on the table. He began to explain all he did, "Can't have a huntsman without his weapon. Made all the modifications you asked for." He said as the shield folded out, "That was some fine metal you brought me, accents the white nicely. Where'd you get it from?" He asked.

Jaune looked back at Locus as he was leaning against the back wall, "From a new friend." He said, making Locus crack a smile.

Pyrrah walked over to Locus, took his hand, and said, "Thank you, for everything. Otherwise not a lot of people would be here." She shook his one hand withwith both of his.

[Slight Timeskip]

Everyone was waiting to see Jaune suited up from the new armor he had received from a former mercenary. The black and small traces of orange went along the rim of the shield while orange made the crest in the center. Jaune took his sword from his sheath and faced his friends, the blacksmith came out to admire his masterpiece, "He cleans up alright, don't ya think?" He asked.

Pyrrah was the first to reply, "He certainly does." She said as Jaune walked over to them.

Nora was stroking her chin, claiming something was missing, "I still think a grenade launcher would've REALLY brought the whole look together." Nora recommended.

Ruby cheered as everyone was ready to go, "Nothing is going to stop team..." After a brief second of thinking she decided not to try, "You know what, I'm not even gonna try to come up with a name." She said as she slumped over.

Pyrrah got between the group, "Guys, it doesn't matter what we're called. As long as we're all together." She said as everyone shared a look of friendship together.

The blacksmith leaned against a pole, "You kids sure you won't stick around? You've been real good to this town." He asked just before they were about to leave.

"Sorry, but we've got another mission..." Ruby replied.

"...Make it to Haven Academy, no matter what." Nora finished Ruby's sentence.

"-We've heard the next village over has a working airship." Ren continued Nora's thought.

The bull faunus stroked his chin, "Hmmm, no way to know for sure. Scroll signals were bad enough out here when Beacon tower was still up. Haven't heard from Shion village in a while." He said.

Ruby and the group started to walk away, "Well...There's only one way to find out." She said as they headed to their next destination.

[Timeskip]

"Food?" Jaune asked as he did an inventory check on everything they had.

"Check." Nora replied.

"Water?" Jaune asked again.

"Check." Nora replied again.

"How 'bout ammo?" Jaune asked making sure they had enough.

"Locked and Loaded. Thank you Agent Washington and Carolina!" Nora said stating Church's friend's names.

"Got the map?" Jaune asked.

Nora hesitated, "Uh, Ren's got it."

"No I don't. You have it." Ren responded.

"Wait...What?" Nora asked.

"Guys, please tell me your joking." Jaune pleaded. He heard Nora laugh nervously, "Guys! Guys? Guys..." He whined.

"Nope." Nora finished.
