Pyrrha stared out the window sadly while Ren looked over Stormflower and Nora bounced on the bed
"How come Jaun gets home so late?" Nora asked
"He has become rather scarce since he started fraternizing with Cardin" Ren said
"That's weird...doesn't he know we have a field trip tomorrow? we need our rest!"Nora spun mid air so she would land on her back
"I'm shore our leader know's exactly what he's doing" Pyrrha said with some resentment in her voice
Ren and Nora exchanged glance unaware the person they had been talking about watched them through a crack in the door
"Mmmmm I guess so"
Jaun closed the door hanging his head in shame before he was greeted by a familiar voice
"Hey! Jaun " startled he turned to find Ruby in her pajamas giggling slightly at his reaction "Long time no see! Did you lock yourself out again?"
Oh, uh, nope! " he raised his scroll with a bitter laugh " got it"
"so! where have you been lately?"
"I,uh"he tried to lie but it was pointless he sighed heavily" i messed up. I did something I shouldn't have, and now Cardin got me on a leash, and Pyrrha wont even talk to me, and "Jaun sighs heavily" I'm starting to think coming to this school was a bad idea" He pressed his back to the wall and slid down to the floor hanging his head "I'm a failure"
"Nope" Ruby said
jaun looked up at her in surprise"Nope?"
"Nope your a leader now, Jaun you're not aloud to be a failure" Ruby said
"But, what if im a failure at being a leader?" jaun asked
"Mmmm... Nope" ruby replied
the knight chuckled" you know, your not the easiest person to talk to about this kind of stuff"
"Nope" ruby said as she took a seat next to him" Jaun, maybe you were a failure when you were a kid. You might have been a failure the first time we met. but you cant be one now. you know why?
"uhhh because?" jaun said scratching his head
"Because it's not just about you anymore." the younger teen said standing back up " You've got a team now Jaun. We both do. And if we fail, then 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, Jaun. "She continued" And i think that can be you " opening the door to her dorm, she looked back at the blond with a soft smile. "have a good night, Jaun" with that the door closed
Jaun stood up reaching for the door handle to his dorm, before his scroll went off he sighed before opening it "Hey, it's your buddy Cardin. I know your probably still busy with that dust project i gave you. Buuuut, im gonna need you to go out and get me a bag of Rapier Wasps. "jaun squeaked at the request" And make shore they've got some really big stingers it's important, so dont screw this up!"
Sighing in defeat Jaun closed his scroll and began trudging down the hallway, his vision blurred for a second as he grasped at the side of his head his eyes flashing a dark violet before returning to normal groaning slightly Jaun steadied himself against the wall before continuing on his way

The next day the first year students boarded a bullhead that flew towards the forest of forever fall. a place where like the name was implied the fall season never seemed to never pass the leaves of the forest a bright crimson red.
professor goodwitch spoke up as they walked "yes students, the forest of forever fall is indeed beautiful. but we are not here to sight see professor peach has asked each of you to gather one jars worth of sap. however this forest is filled with the creatures of grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates we will rendezvous back here at four o'clock have fun" glynda finished
Jaun attempted to sneak back to his team but was quickly grabbed by Cardin "come on buddy - let's go" Cardin said jaun spared a hopeful glance to his team before he was dragged off

CRDL made themselves comfortable. while Jaun returned to the group with six jars of pink so, setting them down before collapsing out of exhaustion
"Hey, great work, Jauney boy! Now that wasn't to hard now, was it?" Cardin sneered
"I think im allergic to this stuff..."
"Greeeat, great, great, so Jaun i bet your asking yourself, " why did my buddy Cardin ask me to collect six jars of tree sap when there's only five of us?" Cardin asked
Jaun nodded "That is one of the many questions i have asked myself today, yes"
"we'll, come with me, and you'll find out" Jaun gulped as he was dragged off
Now perched on a small cliff over looking RWBY NPR and Alex, as they were in the middle of collecting there jars of sap
"Cardin wh-whats going on?" Jaun asked
there was a moment of silence before he answered "payback"
Jaun's eyes widened in understanding "Pyrrha" he said as his partner collected another jar of sap" wh-what are you-"
Cardin pounded the ground "That's the girl. Red-haired know-it-all thinks she's-so-smart... well look it's that fissure guy i guess its two for the price of one, alright boy's..." Cardin pulled out a cardboard box that was buzzing and shaking ominously"Last night old Jaun here managed to round up an entire box of Rapier Wasps, and now, were gonna put 'em to work. " Jaun laughed nervously at the statement" Now, according to one of the essays you wrote for me last week, these nasty things looove sweets. and im thinking it's time we teach her a thing or two"
Cardin then pulled Jaun up to his feat dropping the jar of sap into his hands
"and your gonna do it."
"do what."
"hit her with the sap!" Cardin leaned in close to him "Either that, or i'll have a chat with Goodwitch, and you'll be on the first airship out of Beacon."
Jaun looked down at the sap making a decision, he grit his teeth winding his arm back, aiming for Pyrrha
"No"
"what did you say?" Cardin asked
"I said... NO!"
Cardin's chest plate was suddenly covered in the pink tree sap. Jaun instantly recoiled realizing what was about to happen
"oh, you'v done it now "
Dove and Lark pushed Jaun to the ground, Cardin loomed over the terrified student before decking him on the face knocking him on his back
"you know that wasn't very smart Jauney boy" Cardin leaned down and picked Jaun up by the collar "I'm gonna make shore they send you back to mommy in teeny, tiny, pieces"
" I dont care what you do to me..." Jaun glared at Cardin. "...but you are not messing with my team."
Cardin looked shocked" what you think talk like that makes you tuff You think your a big strong man now"
Jaun smiled in defiance. An enraged Cardin roared and brought his fist down but just as the hit connected, a bright line shone from Jaun's body. Cardin cried out in pain, cradling his injured hand. Jaun, now completely healed, looked at his hands, as they glowed a strange dark aura his eyes began to glow slightly as he stood up changing to a solid violet
"HehehehehehehehheheehHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH" suddenly Jaun's body was engulfed in a purple flame CRDL looked on in shock as the flame licked and spread around his figure as they extinguished they saw what was before them a knight with dark violet Armour, spiked gauntlets and boots gold highlights across his chest plate with two silver wolf heads on each shoulder a small helmet with a black M like visor each tip leading of to a spike in his right hand was a large shield matching his Armour with silver highlights a sword sheathed inside
"w-What the hell?" Cardin said taking a step back
"let's who the real man is" Jaun said his voice like gravel drawing his knight saber ready for a battle
"ROAR!" a gigantic Ursa major leapt from the tree line into the clearing surprising all those present towering over them, it stopped for a moment sniffing at the air its gaze landing on Cardin chest plate where the tree sap was stuck to. the Grimm roared at Cardin as his own teammate's fled. The grimm swung its paw knocking Cardin to the side glancing at the knight before ignoring him and following its nose to its original target
"Hmm" Jaun sheathed the blade and turned to leave Cardin to his fate but he stopped a part of him was... telling him no, demanding him to help Jaun shook his head trying to rid the thoughts from his mind looking back at his former bully. the teen had pulled out his mace but it was swiped away skidding to a halt at his feat. The knight clenched his fist before giving a deep sigh

Alex was knelt down collecting the tree sap when a large roar echoed through the forest "oh no"
Ruby perked up "did you guys hear that?"
suddenly the fleeing members of team CRDL ran into the clearing
"Ursa! Ursa!" Russel yelled slamming into yang
"what!" yang hefted the guy by the shirt "where?"
he struggled in the air for a second but managed to point back to the direction they came from " back there! it got Cardin"
Pyrrha's jar of sap hit the ground "Jaun!"
Ruby suddenly became serious "Yang! you and Blake, go get professor goodwitch" Yang nodded dropping Russel and following Blake
Pyrrha pointed at Ren and Nora as she and Ruby unfolded there weapons "you two, go with them! there could be more!"
"we better hurry!" Alex said as he joined the others
Ruby, Weiss, Alex and Pyrrha began to run towards where Jaun and Cardin were at, as well as the Ursa.
After a few seconds of running they arrived at the scene and froze
The dark knight blocked the strike from the Ursa swinging his blade staggering the Grimm who swung it's large paw at him sliding under its attack he sliced the creature across the abdomen, the Ursa let out a pained roar swinging its masive paw landed a blow on him tossing him back. Jaun landed on his feat charging head on at the Ursa blocking a second strike and slashing it across it's bone mask
Both Jaun and the Ursa confronted each over, he gave a battle cry before charging foreword as did the Ursa raising his shield blocking the Grimm strike before swinging his blade and decapitating it.
"whoa" Ruby said
"no not whoa! defiantly not whoa this is really bad " Alex said as Jaun approached Cardin who looked up at him in shock
"holly shi-"
"Raaaagh!" Jaun brought his blade down Cardin but it stopped just above his heart a black glow surrounding it giving Cardin the chance to run
"Jaun!" Pyrrha yelled her hand outstretched surrounded by the same glow
The knight turned towards her growling slightly causing Ruby and Weiss to go for there weapons
"Alex what's going on?" ruby asked looking up at him
"Don't get any closer that's not Jaun" Alex said braking Pyrrha's concentration
"WOLF ATTACK" Jaun thrust his shield foreword as a compartment opened reviling a small gem resembling an eye a dozen spectral wolves shot towards the group. rolling aside the attack obliterated the treeline behind them
"what is wrong with you!" Weiss yelled as she got to her feet
Jaun charged at Pyrrha swinging his sword in an arc being blocked by Milo before Pyrrha delivered a swift kick to his abdomen staggering him back
"Jaun stop! I dont want to fight you" Pyrrha said
"hehehe you think you can beat me...Psycho pink's dark magic has given me more power then i ever could have dreamed!" Jaun yelled earning confused looks from Weiss and Pyrrha(the latter already aware of such ability)
"Who?" Weiss asked not receiving an answer
"Jaun you've got to fight it dont let them control you!" Alex said
"RAAAGHHH!" he charged foreword at them his knight saber colliding with Milo his shield blocking a stike from Myrtenaster and slamming the shield into weiis face before kicking Ruby into Alex turning his attention back towords Pyrrha he began applying more pressure pushing Pyrrha down onto one knee
"Beacon academy will fall by my sword starting with the mighty Pyrrha Nikos Uthe Sasto!" a dark seal appeared under the two both disappearing into it
"no!" Alex yelled
" where are they?...what happened?" Ruby asked running up next to him
"something very bad we need to regroup with the others " Alex said

Coco Adel sat inside professor Ports classroom bored out of her skull listening to another one of his story's or "lectures" as he put it trying her best not to fall asleep while her partner velvet sat next to her taking some notes. "Uthe Sasto!" a clash of thunder erupted from above getting everyone attention a dark violet glyph or what looked like a glyph appearing above.
Pyrrha was thrown from the seal slamming into the desk rolling off onto the floor Jaun leapt out from the portal intent on bisecting her Pyrrha quickly rolled to the side into a crouched position as the sword struck the oak desk cleaving it in two, professor port drew his bluderaxe, charging foreword attempting to strike the knight
the blade of his axe was blocked by Jaun's knight saber delivering a knee into ports gut before slamming his shield into Port's face staggering him back thrusting his shield foreword a pulse of dark energy shot out pinning the professor and the other students who had risen out of there seats to aid in the battle to the walls "ill deal with the rest of you later"
Jaun turned to face his opponent the two circling one another "training time's over, this is the real thing!"
Jaun threw his shield into the air before kicking it at her like a projectile , Pyrrha threw Akouo deflecting the shield off to the side embedding itself in the wall while Akouo returned to her in time to block three consecutive kicks Pyrrha slid under a slash from Jaun's Knight saber going for a stab, which he batted aside.
moving for another strike his blade was moved aside by some unseen force his violet eyes narrowed behind the visor as Pyrrha moved in to strike he parried the attack from Milo, knocking Akouo out of her hands before stunning her with a headbutt "those little trick's wont save you" he said grabbing Pyrrha by the throat and throwing her in to the wall across the room
Pyrrha shot back up to her feat slightly dazed by the attack her aura taking the brunt of the damage shifting Milo into it's rifle form and firing at Jaun who in turn rolled off to the side ripping his shield from the wall deflecting the Dust rounds as he charged foreword barreling into Pyrrha and the seal waiting behind her

Ruby Weiss and Alex were in a full sprint back in the direction of the bull head
"Alex what happened to Jaun?" Ruby asked as she ran along side him
"It's called Koragg an entity created using dark magic, who is using Jaun as a host" Alex said
"Magic please that is complete nonsense" Weiss said at the statement
"trust me it exists but only a few people actually know about it's existence look I dont have time to explain all this we need to regroup with the others" the three arrived back at the clearing where the bullhead was stationed
" hey!, guys where are Jaun and Pyrrha" Yang asked as she ran up to them her tone filled with worry
"ask him" Weiss said looking at Alex suspicion written all over her face
"what are you-" before yang could finish a clap of thunder erupted from above as the seal reappearing above
"what the hell is that!" Yang yelled as two figures emerged
Pyrrha slammed into the ground a few meters away from the others
"Pyrrha" Ren and Nora said running over to her, Jaun landed in front of Pyrrha thrusting his shield towards Ren and Nora a pulse of dark energy threw the first year students back Glynda slid back from the attack before readying herself for combat, yang eyes changed to a crimson red Charging foreword ember celica cocked only to plow head first into an invisible barrier slamming her fist into it in rage "what the hell!"
Jaun's gaze drifted over to them "I'll dealt with after im donehere" Jaun turned his attention back to Pyrrha who managed to push herself back to her feat "this is the end" he said
"your right.. we've fought enough" Pyrrha said as she sheathed Milo
"Draw your weapon!" Jaun demanded
"I'm not going to fight you Jaun" Pyrrha said placing Akouo on her back
" pick. it . up!" he raised his sword "or perish" the other looked on in horror unable to do anything
"I know your still in there Jaun you can fight this " she said he seemed to stop for a moment before shaking his head letting out a roar before he swung his sword only for it to stop a few inches from severing her head
"p-Pyrrha gaaaaaaahhhh" Jaun dropped the sword stumbling backwards "get...out of my...grr...head!" his hand gripped the sides of the helmet his head pounding as a dark essence began to flow out of his body taking forming into a living shadow it's piercing red eyes glaring down onto the students and professor below
"SSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" its form darted of into the forest Jaun fell to his knees the Armour around his body vanishing in a dark flame before he collapsed into unconsciousness Pyrrha rushed foreword catching the blond knight
"Is he ok" Nora asked she and Ren skidding to a halt next to her teammate he was breathing but barely.
"he's alive" Pyrrha said relived
"What the hell was that thing?" yang asked as she help carry Jaun
"you need to go now!" Alex said his voice was different he sounded afraid
Blake's amber eyes were followed Alex's gaze her eyes widened her hand simultaneously drifted towards Gambleshroud, Glynda raised her riding crop
"guys "Ruby said fear welling up in her chest getting the others attention who only stared on in shock
Alex glared dangerously at the three before them *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* "that was quite the display" Psycho pink said as she approached them flanked by Black and Crimson
"Psycho's" Alex said
"can we just kill them and get this over with. that one's head would look nice on my wall" Crimson said pointing the blade of his scythe at Ruby who backed up a little closer to her sister
"try it "yang dared as she stepped in front of her sister
"Ooh feisty" crimson said taking a step towards them his path was blocked by pinks outstretched arm
"no we dont have time for this you hear Reds orders observe them, dont worry youll get your chance" Psycho pink said the air around them become didtorted before the three vanished
"wha...who was that" Blake asked everyone's eyes focusing on Alex
" Glynda can you contact Ozpin I have some exsplaining to do when we get back to beacon " Alex said
