As the classes moved on with time, the weeks passed, and the two teams of students grew close to each other while also finding their favorite teachers.

Nora found her favorite class to be Chandra's Dust Theory as both had caused several explosions within and without class going on. Nissa found out about Ren's personal herb mixes to the horror of his team, she appreciated them and even enjoyed the taste of the sludge. Ajani found Jaune's talented strategic mind a welcome surprise as the young man gave many insights upon some strategies.

Jace had yet to interact with Blake or Jaune, unfortunately, but the young leader of Team RWBY had visited his office a time or two to talk about the difficulties of leading her sister and the other two treating her as a child, and many of the older students regularly visited to chat and vent after missions. Jace held a tight grip over his magic as he could feel it want to take and change the memories of horror into more pleasant times, he refused to let that happen as those memories were needed… even his own. Liliana had also found a frequent visitor in Jaune frequently coming into the infirmary being beaten and bruised from spars and "accidents," as he called them. Although she knew he was being bullied he never told her who.

It was another day and classes continued with Jaune being beaten brutally by Cardin Winchester, the larger boy swinging his mace into the scraggily blond's shield sending him flying for a moment before aiming to finish it with an overhead swing as the buzzer blared as Glynda announced, "That's enough, Mr. Winchester. As you all can see, Mr. Arc's Aura has gone into the red. As per tournament rules, that would make him unfit for combat and has lost the match." She then looked at the blond in question and said, "Mr. Arc, it's been several weeks now. Please consult your Scroll to see if attacking would be a good idea or if it's time to… adopt a more defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf. Now, would we?"

"Speak for yourself." Cardin said as he threw his large mace up and over his shoulder and began to walk away from the arena before Glynda continued saying, "Now remember everyone, the Vytal Festival is only a few months away. It won't be long before students of the other kingdoms will arrive. So, keep practicing, those that choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale."

Jaune listened to this, still on his butt, feeling weak without noticing Pyrrha's look of worry. Then class was dismissed and they all went to the dining hall for lunch as Nora was talking about a dream she had been having with Ren correcting her here and there while Jaune simply stared at his plate. Then Pyrrha spoke up saying, "Jaune, is everything alright?"

"Huh? Why do you ask?" Jaune looked up towards his partner before Ruby spoke up saying, "Well, because you don't seem alright Jaune."

Jaune simply waved it off as they all heard an obnoxious laugh and turned to see Team CRDL messing with a rabbit Faunus which Jaune quickly looked away as Pyrrha spoke up saying "Jaune, Cardin has been bullying you since the first week of school."

"W-what? No, he hasn't." As he said that images of the accidents he had been suffering came to mind and walking by the dining hall window was a particular blue hooded mind mage accompanied by the nurse who both looked in as Liliana spoke saying, "You said you wanted to talk to Jaune Arc correct? Well there he is."

Looking in, Jace saw him and his eyes glowed for a moment allowing him to read the general thoughts of people, save Liliana from her own personal wards that were more powerful than the simple spell he was using. As he searched, he found Jaune's thoughts as he was walking through and could feel the emotions he was and couldn't help but sigh as he blinked dispelling the magic. "He is a strong soul, but he doesn't see any strength within himself"

"Well then perhaps a small boost to his confidence could help. He has told me many times he came here to help people. Well, I see a particular Faunus in need of a friendly face," Liliana smiled with cunning as she gestured towards Velvet who was being bullied rather roughly and they both couldn't help but be angry. But they couldn't do anything. Although this was a place for young warriors, if they couldn't defend themselves from bullies how could they defend themselves from Grimm. However, that didn't mean they couldn't give certain students a push to help others.

As that thought came to mind, Jace's eyes lit up again a piercing cool blue as he saw his intended target, Jaune Arc. As the youth was walking away from his friends and their table, he felt a sudden boost of some sort looking around as the deep blue of his eyes gained a small spark of coolness. He watched Velvet pulling away from Cardin and the others as he took a breath, meeting her at the door and opening it for her asking, "You okay?"

Velvet jumped at the sudden movement of the door in front of her as she looked up and saw the blond underclassman. She blushed before letting her bangs shadow her eyes saying "Y-yes, thank you…"

"If you ever want to talk, I know it isn't my place, but I'll listen." Giving a smile as internally Jaune was screaming in awkward horror as he was speaking to such a cute girl without stuttering or seeming nervous. Velvet couldn't help but blush brightly at the gesture before scurrying off saying, "Thank you…"

Letting the door close, the confidence faded as the glow also faded. Jace couldn't help but sigh in exhaustion and said to Liliana, "I will never get used to how limited our magic is on this plane."

She nodded as she looked down at her hand for a moment as the old marks gave off a momentary glow before they faded as she said "I know, but so long as we are able to do this we can still help them. Come on then"

Walking away, Jace and Liliana both had smiles in their faces while Jaune, on the other hand, was sweating buckshot as he returned to his friends. Pyrrha looking away flabbergasted, Nora smiled at him, and Ren as well said, "That was a kind thing you did for her Jaune."

"Y-yeah, I well… someone needed to at least be a friendly face, right?" Jaune rubbed the back of his neck as Team RWBY had their own reactions as Ruby threw up a thumbs up, Weiss simply rolled her eyes, Blake gave a rare smile and said, "It's much more than most humans would do for a Faunus."

"Yeah and I bet it earned you plenty of brownie points with the cute bunbun~" Yang wiggled her eyebrows before groaning at the feeling of Blake's elbow in her side, gesturing to Pyrrha who got up suddenly and started to walk away saying, "Class is starting soon, I'll see you guys there."

She gave a fake smile that she always did for photo shoots and public events, a well-trained smile that few could see through, as Jaune looked over at his partner saying "Um… okay, Pyrrha."

As she walked away, Jaune looked around at his friends who all sighed while he looked a bit confused at their expressions before they all went to Dust Theory. The class went as normal, luckily without an embarrassing moment with the teacher for Jaune, it ended on a high note with Nora going on about a new grenade mixture that Chandra promised to test with her after classes. Then during the next class the day simply seemed to go downhill.

During Doctor Oobleck's class, Jaune was dozing off before Cardin threw a paper football at him which caused him to become the center of attention and ending up becoming the butt of the class again showing his lack of study. After words he was given an extra essay to do. So far today was not going Jaune's way, then after classes were over Pyrrha in a very nice act pulled him to a roof on top of the dorms.

While there Jaune and Pyrrha began to talk without care to make sure no one was paying attention. After Pyrrha offered to help him catch up and train, he simply slumped down thinking he was a failure again. But she mentioned how he got to Beacon and how grand it was that he made it into the school that was for the best of the best. Jaune then let go and said, "But I didn't! I didn't make it to Beacon."

"What do you mean?" Pyrrha looked confused as underneath them a certain redhead became intrigued and leaned up to listen closer as Jaune said "I didn't make it to Beacon, I got my hands on some fake transcripts from some underground site and I sent them in. I didn't even think it would work until I received the email saying, congratulations. I don't belong here. I faked my way into Beacon so I could be a hero."

Pyrrha stood there in shock for a moment. Before saying "J-Jaune. Then let me help you."

"Pyrrha…No! I don't want help, I don't want to be the damsel in distress, I want to be the hero. Please just leave me alone, ok." He said as his voice cracked. Pyrrha then said, meekly, "If that's what you think is best."

She pulled back before rushing off with tears pinching in her eyes as Jaune sighed before he heard the voice he never wanted to hear saying "Oh, Jaune."

"C-Cardin!" Jaune looked over as Cardin Winchester pulled himself up and onto the roof from his room as he looked over Jaune with a victorious smirk. "I couldn't help but overhear you from my dorm room. So, snuck into Beacon huh? I gotta say I never took you to be one ballsy enough to do that."

"P-please don't say anything." The larger boy simply sauntered over saying "Oh come on Jaune, I'd never rat out a friend like that."

With that statement, Jaune knew his life would only become more of a living Hell from then on. To keep his secret and make sure he could become a hero he needed to keep on Cardin's good side. Over the next couple of weeks, Jaune pulled away from his team and Pyrrha seemed to become quite snappy to people. It was the day before the scheduled trip to the Forever Fall Forest for first years and Pyrrha found herself pacing in front of Jace's office door when it opened revealing the brunette psychologist, "Oh, Miss Nikos, good day. Can I help you?" He said, knowing she was outside his door as her thoughts were loud enough for him to hear. She looked up at the blue-colored man before nodding as he put on a kind smile and opened his door saying, "Please, come in."

"T-thank you, sir." Walking in, she was greeted with a simple office setting with a small sitting area which Jace took a seat in one of the chairs before pouring some tea he had made and asked, "Would you like a drink, Miss Nikos?"

"U-um… yes that would be nice." She smiled a bit nervously as she approached and sat down, taking the seat opposite Jace. He handed her the drink before saying, "So what is troubling you, Miss Nikos?"

"Thank you… well… It's nothing big." Even if he couldn't read her mind, he could tell simply from her body language she was lying saying "Are you sure? Has there been any issues with your team or maybe team leader?"

Upon saying that, and giving her a small psychic nudge, she began to spill everything to Jace. She told Jace about the conversation with Jaune, leaving out his false transcripts, and the current behavior of her team leader while Jace simply listened both verbally and psychologically. Eventually Pyrrha began to shake a little as she said "I don't know what to do, Mr. Beleran. I feel like our team could recover but only if Jaune could come back to us…"

Pulling back from his forward leaning position, Jace took a deep breath and said, "Well, I have to agree this behavior is not productive of a team leader. However, I can tell there is something else that is keeping you from going back to how things were. Whatever it is, think about how it all looks in the big picture. Jaune is here at Beacon and he has been rather open about his reasons. He wants to be a hero, correct?"

She nodded in response before he smiled saying, "Then help him remember that a hero is only as strong as the people that support him. So just be yourself, be the wonderfully supportive woman you are, Pyrrha, and Jaune will return to your team and I can feel that your team will do great things."

Listening to him, Pyrrha couldn't help but smile, before nodding saying, "Thank you Mr. Beleran."

As she left, Jace went back to his desk and scowled looking at a small pistol, not his own, which was strapped to his hip. The thing that caused him to scowl was a symbol branded onto the butt of the gun. Two geometric arrows pointing away from each other in a hexagonal pattern. That symbol meant only one thing to Jace, Tezzeret was on Remnant. He would need to thank Anne for allowing him to investigate the gun.

That night, Team (J)NPR was relaxing in their dorm sleeping and worried about their leader's whereabouts. But while they were asleep, Jaune snuck in, only after doing the latest task from Cardin. Going through the next day was just another blur for Jaune until the trip to Forever Fall, things changed. Professor Goodwitch and Nurse Liliana had both come as supervisors for the trip, sending each team out to collect sap. The two adults stayed by the EZ waiting for teams to return and in case they needed to, react to severe danger.

After collecting sap for Cardin and abandoning his team, Jaune was a bit woozy from his allergies acting up. Although he couldn't think straight, when Cardin told him to throw a jar of the sap at Pyrrha and his team, his mind cleared instantly as he looked back at the larger boy in fear. Then he aimed and threw the jar of sap that shattered against Cardin's chest plate. He couldn't help but smile at his little victory, feeling a new energy fill him. Then Team CRDL began to throw punches. As Cardin lifted up the bruised Jaune and glared at him Jaune could only smirk at the bully saying, "It doesn't matter what you do to me, just don't mess with my team."

Growling, Cardin threw one more punch and just before it connected Jaune's world went white as his Aura exploded outward in a flare of white. As Cardin reeled back. Clutching his throbbing hand as he yelled in pain, his flesh was boiled and burnt as Jaune had fallen back unconscious. Team (C)RDL could only watch their team leader in shock as his Aura slowly healed the mangled hand, otherwise they then froze in fear as they heard a low vicious growl from behind them.

A short distance away, Pyrrha heard the shriek of Cardin in pain and then Team CRDL running towards them in fear saying "Run! It's an Ursa Major!"

Nora looked towards Pyrrha and said, "Nora, Ren, go and find Professor Goodwitch and Nurse Vess! I'll go and find Jaune."

The partners nodded and rushed off as Pyrrha drew her weapons and charged off. A short time later Team RWBY had looked towards the direction of the fleeing team (C)RDL before ignoring them, then Ren and Nora came, and Ruby asked them shocked, "guys, what happened?"

"Ursa Major, we are headed to get the professors, Pyrrha went off to find Jaune." Ren said quickly before continuing towards where the professors were located. Ruby looked towards her teammates before saying, "Yang, Blake go with them, Weiss, come on."The three girls nodded as Ruby and Weiss both went off drawing weapons.

Pyrrha came upon a sight that horrified her, Jaune was on the ground unconscious as a large Ursa Major battered aside weak Cardin. The large boy was bleeding from a bad slash wound to his shoulder that left his arm limp and swinging his weapon awkwardly with only his right hand. Pyrrha growled and her face was set in a rare expression of rage as she charged forward throwing Akouo at the Ursa's head. The round discus like object slammed into the nape of the neck of the large beast that turned away from the falling Cardin to face the new threat.

Pyrrha jumped over the wild sweeping paw as she reached out and summoned back Akouo to her hand as she delivered a slash to the bear Grimm's neck with Milo. She slowly pulled the Grimm away from the two boys. Even though she didn't like Cardin, she wouldn't let him die to a Grimm. She was a Huntress in training, after all. As she moved further away from the two boys, Ruby and Weiss arrived to the area and saw Jaune and Cardin both on the ground, Cardin was holding his bleeding shoulder and panting from exhaustion as he looked over to the girls and he pointed to the side as he said "She went that way, it's a large Ursa Major."

He then hissed in pain holding his shoulder as Weiss and Ruby both looked over towards where Pyrrha went and Ruby took off with her Semblance launching forward in a burst of petals. Coming upon the area Pyrrha was holding her own against the bear Grimm as Ruby let out a battle cry as she swung her scythe towards the Grimm's throat as it cut deeply before she swung around and landed next to Pyrrha. Mech-shifting the large scythe into its rifle form, the two gunners hailed bullets at the beast. Before the Grimm fell it was impaled by a large spike of ice from the appearance of Weiss as she sighed saying "Are you both okay?"

"Yeah, we're good, bestie!" Ruby smiled before Pyrrha took off past Weiss, back to where Cardin and Jaune were but she was then greeted by the movement in the brush. Bringing up her rifle, she aimed and found herself aiming at Professor Goodwitch and Nurse Vess, who quickly rushed over to Cardin who was the one in more danger. Noting Jaune's unconsciousness, Liliana focused on her job as she kneeled next to Cardin looking over his bloody left arm and badly burned right hand saying, "This is going to hurt."

He grunted and nodded as Liliana took hold of the wound, with his Aura shattered it would take some time, and the pale look to his face told her he was suffering blood loss. Holding the bloody limb her dark violet Aura came to life as he groaned in pain as her fingers slowly moved the flesh like clay, her Semblance was macabre Flesh Sculpting. With her ability to move tissue and promote the production of new tissue she moved the skin, thinning it a bit, but it was a good way to close grievous wounds and seal broken blood vessels to stop the bleeding. Once she was done, Cardin was unconscious as well. She then slowly lifted the large boy and called for Nora's help and the expression from the younger girl was that of annoyance at the boy but she did as asked and helped move Cardin back as Goodwitch picked up Jaune as she looked at Pyrrha saying "What happened?"

On the way back, Pyrrha told everything she knew but only team CRDL and Jaune would know exactly what happened. The ride was tense as Teams RWBY and (J)NPR were glaring down (C)RDL who kept to themselves, and Goodwitch was ready to roll out punishment only to be held back by a cold-looking Liliana, a sight few ever saw as she was always pleasant and a happy face. Once back at Beacon, a still unconscious Jaune and a now awake but dazed Cardin were taken to the infirmary by Liliana as the three teams were taken to Ozpin's tower.

Sitting at his desk, Ozpin took a sip of his hot chocolate and looked over as the elevator opened revealing the overstuffed box of people as Goodwitch simply said, "Stand there and quietly."

None of them said a word so as to not incur her wrath, the three teams standing with Team RWBY in the middle and Ren and Nora keeping a very livid Pyrrha as far away from the remaining members of team (C)RDL as possible. Ozpin looked over the situation before saying, "So I assume the situation between Teams JNPR and CRDL has come to a head?"

He had whispered to Glynda who nodded before saying, "Now I have heard the side of Team JNPR save for Jaune and Team RWBY. Team CRDL, what happened?"

The three boys seemed to fidget and become nervous as they were under the scrutiny of the headmaster and vice headmistress before Ozpin nodded saying, "Alright how about we all calm down. I realize that two team leaders are currently in the infirmary. Instead of dragging this out longer than needed, I would like you all to return to your dorms and wait until Jaune and Cardin are both awake and in more… available situations. Understood."

It was clear Pyrrha didn't like this and wanted to hurt Team CRDL, but she kept herself contained for now. Team (C)RDL seemed relieved as Team RWBY just seemed a bit curious about the situation before Goodwitch said "Go on, you have heard the headmaster. I will retrieve you when you are needed next."

The annoyance but exhaustion was clear in the blonde woman's voice as the teams slowly left. Teams RWBY and (J)NPR pulled away from (C)RDL quickly as they all went to their respective dorms. Once there Pyrrha finally snapped and slammed her fist into the wall crying out before Ren said, "All we can do now is wait for what the headmaster says is the verdict, Pyrrha."

"Cardin and his team don't deserve to be here. They are not Huntsmen… Jaune…" feeling herself almost giving up his secret, she quieted herself and sat down on her bed before Nora came up behind her and hugged her saying "Jaune-Jaune will be fine Pyrrha, he's our leader. He'll wake up soon, and we can all have pancakes together. Right, Ren?"

The bright smile of his childhood friend couldn't help but be infectious as Ren allowed a small smile before saying, "She's right, he may not be the best fighter, but he is strong in character. He can make it."

"Yeah… yeah he is." Pyrrha smiled at them before Ren continued saying "Let's at least get some studying done while we wait to hear from professor Goodwitch and the Headmaster."

-Infirmary-

Liliana was finishing applying healing Dust compounds to Cardin's wounds and giving him a transfusion of Aura after some anesthetic as she examined his strangely slowly healing hand. The compounds and his Aura were acting as if it didn't exist. Or rather like they were slowly accepting it as it is now as the boils and redness slowly began to fade back into proper flesh tones. But not before a faint layer of greyish Dust fell down to the bed around his hand. Taking it up Liliana examined it and couldn't shake a feeling that it would be good.

Turning her attention to the blond boy, she examined him after removing his armor and folding up his clothing to have a proper examination. Everything was fine. Not a hair out of place, but what caught her attention was his Aura… It had changed. It felt strangely similar to her own. She then made a call to Ajani who arrived shortly after saying "Hello Liliana, how may I be of service?"

"Your magic is specialized in the soul Ajani, I'd like you to examine this boy, I believe you have spoken about him. His name is Jaune Arc." Ajani raised his good eyebrow saying, "Yes I know him, what happened to Student Arc?"

Instead of saying anything Liliana guided the large Faunus to Jaune's bed where Ajani looked a bit concerned before saying "What happened?"

"I'm not sure, but from what I heard and have been able to understand, Jaune has been having issues with Team CRDL and a confrontation happened today in the Forever Fall Forest. I'd just finished healing Cardin," she then gestured to the other cot. Ajani looked at her saying, "Something was odd about his wounds wasn't there."

Nodding she said, "His right hand appeared as if it was exposed to aether."

That got the large man's attention as he said "How?!"

"I'm not sure. But onto why I asked you here." She looked down to the sleeping blond as Ajani nodded and held out his hands. His eyes glowed brightly as golden energy gently rose from the corners of his eyes as his palms glowed a similar color as a mist slowly descended towards Jaune. As it made contact the boys Aura reacted and so did something else. A bright burning light that Ajani recognized easily as he canceled his spell as he gazed at the blond boy in surprise as he said, "Student Arc has a Spark."

That got Liliana's attention as she stared at the boy, the planeswalker, as she said, "But he didn't shift planes…"

The former Leonin said "No Student Arc did not, but he has an ignited spark. I will tell Friend Ozpin, until he wakes up and explains what Student Arc saw. All we can do is think over what we just learned."

Liliana nodded before letting Ajani leave to inform Ozpin as the necromancer held back and sighed looking over the blond who had yet to move or react to anything. At least he was alive, noting the time she saw it was getting late and decided to finish up paperwork on these two cases before turning in.

Well then, how do you all like that? I realize after the introduction of the main eight characters I have stuck fairly close to canon. Well fear not, the real fun begins :)

For those that might want a proper visual of the symbol for Tezzeret's logo, its the symbol for his duel deck Elspeth vs Tezzeret, how did i do describing it?

As always I hope you all enjoy this so far and how it is progressing, now on to the important thing. Jaune's first planeswalk. I currently have nothing set in stone, but thats where I would like your input. where do you want to send our Newest planeswalker? the options are Theros, Innistrad, Ravnica, Eldraine, or Bant. I have ideas for each of those five planes, so this is my first "Poll" just send me your vote via PM or Review, lets see how mean you all want to be to our pour boy.
