Here's the second chapter, I'll have an actual author's note at the end enjoy!

Chapter 2: Don't Go

Yang set Jaune down on a makeshift operating table and looked up to Ren who started taking control of the situation applying his first aid knowledge and properly cleaned his gash fixed all of the smaller cuts while having Yang keep pressure on the gash then once he had finished he told Yang to grab his scroll so they could see his aura levels.

Yang did as she was told and grabbed his scroll out of his blood-soaked jeans and showed Ren with a look of horror on her face. His aura was at 1%, she had never seen anyone's aura drop below 10% let alone reach 1%, and the look of surprise on Ren's face showed that he hadn't seen someone's aura that low either.

While they were watching his aura levels, it jumped up to 5% to both of their surprises. They both shared a confused glance because aura usually takes longer to regenerate just 1% but Jaune had just regained 4%. Ren looked to be lost in thought for a moment before focusing back onto Jaune and becoming authoritative again telling Yang.

"His aura stopped healing him and just started maintaining his current condition in order to stop his aura from zeroing out which is why he started bleeding because if he hit zero percent his wound would have worsened and he would have died." He took a breath before continuing "But even at this rate his aura won't replenish enough for him to get to the point where he can heal the laceration before he bleeds out. I'm gonna need to give him some of my aura in order to save him"

As he went to start, a beowolf growl stopped him along with the readying of weapons, knowing a fight was about to start Yang pushed away Ren's hands and told him.

"Ren you'll need all the aura you can get because you use it heavily when you fight, I can afford to lose some aura if I need to come out and fight. Now go help them fight I can handle it from here" Plus I'm the reason he needs aura she added silently.

Ren left the medical tent to help the others fight the Grimm surrounding the perimeter that they had set up. Yang looked at a pale Jaune and placed her hands lightly on his chest as if he was made of glass. She took a deep breath and began to imagine her channeling her aura into Jaune, she felt herself being drained as Jaune's aura began to rise. When she saw that her aura levels had hit 60% she took her hands off and looked at Jaune's aura again, but his aura had only reached 25% because he had so much aura capacity compared to her.

She looked at his injury and saw it stop bleeding and begin to seal, but the important thing to her was the bleeding stopped. Knowing that he had stabilized for the moment she peeked her head outside the tent and saw that the sun had begun to set, and the Grimm began to pour out from the trees. The real fight hadn't broke out yet, just a few small skirmishes before the larger Grimm came. The 5 of them out there were all equally spaced out and fighting some small beowolves that had came. Weiss charged forward perforating 2 beowolves in one lunge then retreating back to the circle.

Yang took a spot next to Blake and cocked her gauntlets back ready for and unfortunate Grimm that came her way. As she got into a battle stance Blake raised an eyebrow questioning her as to what happened in the tent.

"Jaune needed more aura so he didn't bleed out." Yang replied casually as if it was no big deal. Blake looked at her one last time then shrugged and brought her attention to the battlefield.

Meanwhile Ruby yelled out commands and callouts to everyone stepping up for the incapacitated Jaune as leader. As a group of 6 approached Ruby she started spinning her scythe and building momentum slicing 2 in half and she got the third one's head under her scythe and pulled the trigger out of habit cutting it's head off, letting a shot echo across the forest before killing the final 2. Everyone paused and looked at Ruby whose eyes grew wide and apologized profusely before calling for everybody to get closer and make the perimeter more secure for the storm of Grimm they knew were on the way.

"We're going loud now guys," was all Ruby said before returning to battle.

They let a silence envelop the area and looked around waiting for the first of the bigger Grimm to rear their heads. On cue a Deathstalker appeared opposite Ren and Nora, and they began work on the beast. Ren rushed forward peppering the creature with bullets while Nora pelted it with grenades as she got closer until it rushed them and she had to transform Magnhild into it's hammer form and swing in a giant arc only to come in too high and deflect off of it's heavy armor. While she recovered the Deathstalker saw an opportunity to strike as it launched it's stinger towards Nora, but before it could strike her Ren caught it with his hands using aura to hold it taking a big chunk out of his aura. While Nora continued the missed the swing and demolished the top half of it's tail. Then Ren slides under it while it's confused and uses Stormflower to get at it's fleshy underside and kill it. But not before Nora gets bashed backwards by the pincers in a last ditch effort to save itself, not taking too much damage but it did take some aura out of her.

Elsewhere Yang and Blake were side by side waging their own small war on the Grimm, albeit with Yang glancing towards the medical tent every time she had a small break. Blake had to step up because of her distracted partner, even though she didn't understand why she cared so much for the Arc boy, she would confront Yang later when the time was right.

"Yang pay attention this is life or death!" Blake scolded

Yang just shook her head clearing out thoughts of Jaune with thoughts of the battle field. Noting that the others were having a rough time and that Blake seemed to be overexerting herself so she motioned for Blake to take a break so that they could switch off when Yang got tired. Which would probably be soon because she donated the aura to Jaune, nonetheless she focused on the beowolves in front of her which were closing in on her. Yang rushed forward using her gauntlets to punch the first beowolf right in the jaw killing it instantly, she then followed up with a devastating shot to the next ones face and the blast killed it instantly. She tripped the next one so she would have time to uppercut it while Blake stabbed the tripped one and tagged Yang out.

Yang sat down exhausted, her aura hadn't gone down but she still felt the toll of giving Jaune some of her aura. Speaking of Jaune she went to go back in the tent and check on him, when she noticed that her semblance was going off and that she had gotten really hot. So she decided against going in there for Jaunes safety and just sat down, since she tends to give burns to people who get too close to her when her semblance is going off. Yang still couldn't get over how Jaune would so willingly through his life away for other, while thinking about said knight Yang heard someone yell her name, but she couldn't discern who was yelling she saw Ruby get hit by a Boarbatusk. In a flash she recognized Blake's voice, she looked up only to get tackled and clawed by a stray beowolf easily taking an unready Yang's aura to 20% before Blake headshot it with Gambol Shroud. Feeling her semblance fighting to take control she yelled out.

"Get out of the way my semblance is gonna take over, I can't do anything. I don't want to hurt anybody" She whispered the last part to herself as she let the fire inside of her consume her.

_(felt like I should say this part is gonna be nailed to Jaune's 3rd person perspective because before I was just jumping around)

Jaune opened his eyes and sat up, only to feel a jolt of pain in his side and shoulder upon further inspection he saw claw marks and a dislocated shoulder. Suddenly he remembered diving in front of Yang, I'm so stupid, why didn't I use my shield at least I saved her. With a groan he got off of the table he was placed on and stood up checking himself for any other injuries, which he didn't have thanks to Ren unbeknownst to him.

Jaune peeked his head outside of the tent hoping to see his friends fighting side by side on a pile of Grimm corpses. Instead he looked outside to see PNR fighting all the smaller Grimm, while RWB stayed far enough away from Yang that they wouldn't get burned but close enough that they could try to defend her while she delivered constant haymakers with fire covering her. Jaune walked back into the tent and picked up his sword, since he couldn't use his shield he just put it in its sheath because of his bad arm, and hell if he died today he wouldn't use it again stop Jaune. He stepped out to the surprise of Ren and started walking towards the fiery blonde currently burning herself out.

"What's happening!?" Jaune asked

"She couldn't control the rage from her semblance, so now she's going berserk!" Blake responded out of breath from fighting so many Grimm.

"The real question is" Ren shouted from across the battlefield "how are you even moving right now?"

"I'm fine, I mean I'm standing right" Jaune added dryly before looking at Yang and asking. "Ruby! have you ever calmed Yang down in this stage before?"

"Nope, usually we just wait until she burns out, but her aura is too low, she'll die before she stops!" Ruby responded. Jaune watched as Ruby used her semblance and tried to knock Yang out, since shooting her might kill her Ruby attempted to just bash Yang with a folded up Crescent Rose. Only to get some intense burns when she got close, so she backed off and decided to let someone else try and calm down the blonde inferno. Jaune steeled himself for the heroic yet moronic act he was about to do, if I was stronger we wouldn't even be in this mess, you messed up now Jaune and now you've got to save your friends.

"I'll die before any one of my best friends do, I'm going in" Jaune spoke with a look of terror yet pride in his eyes.

"Jaune you're aura has to be in the red, you can't go in" Ren pleaded

"You know that I have to do this Ren. I simply cannot sit idly while Yang burns herself out."

With that Jaune started to run towards the barbaric blonde Yang with glowing red eyes and fiery hair. The the heat began to hit Jaune, at first it didn't bother him, but as he got closer he broke out into a sweat as the heat became unbearable. Suddenly a white light started to emanate and when it faded Jaune's aura was full, and he had glowing white armor similar to what a knight would wear surrounding him. His sword had electricity flowing through, but he put it away and opened his shield which had grown even larger and hefted it. Feeling rejuvenated Jaune sped up and got close to Yang, she turned to him with rage in her eyes as she screamed.

"Get away from me if you know what's good for you!"

"You don't mean that Yang, you don't want to hurt me right" He replied

"Don't test me Jaune, you don't know anything about me!" Was all Yang said before charging at Jaune with her weapons ready to fire.

Jaune figured she was gonna rush him so he sidestepped her rush and got into a defensive stance which consisted of him crouching behind his shield since he didn't want to hurt her anymore than she was already hurting herself. Yang turned around from her missed strike and unleashed a devastating punch dead center on his shield which made Jaune lose feeling in his shield arm making him drop his shield leaving him defenseless to Yang's assault. Yang looked scared for a moment before looking at Jaune and yelling.

"See, I'm a monster and you know it. Get away from me!"

Jaune just shook his head and replied "I'm staying right here Yang, we both know you're not a monster, no matter what happens here, you'll still be the nice and beautiful Yang Xiao Long." And with that Jaune hunkered down and prepared for Yang's careless charge. As her fist connected with his new chestplate he grabbed her arm and brought her with him which was a sizeable distance given the strength of her punch. As they flew through the air Jaune let out an unmanly scream as he skid through the dirt with Yang in his arms, his new armor dissipated and left him holding a still on fire Yang. He tightened his grip on her so she couldn't leave and focused on trying to calm her down by whispering soothingly.

"Just calm down Yang, Ruby's fine, your teams fine, everythings gonna be alright" He didn't think his words were getting to the angry brawler, but as his aura began to go down because of the fire covering Yang he felt the fire begin to die down. Until her red eyes returned to a nice lilac and her fire died out, then she promptly passed out with Jaune still holding her. Jaune grabbed his scroll with his good arm and sighed, his aura was right back to 20%, he just couldn't catch a break-not that he was gonna complain-he was still saving people it was just how he had gone about doing it. With that though in his mind Jaune too passed out with a rather warm Yang in his arms.

Sorry, this chapter was originally intended to be longer but I found that this was a natural stopping place. Eventually I want to get longer chapters going but I'm still going about getting a rhythm in my writing, since it's my first fic. Please leave a review if you liked and tell my if you see any really bad grammatical mistakes.

P.S the part about semblances and aura is just my theory on how they work
