It was supposed to be a good day for Beacon as Jaune was returning from prison. A mix up led to Jaune getting arrested and accused of murdering a prominent faunus rights activist. Thus, his fake transcripts were exposed in the process leading him one a trip to the infamous Blood Prison in Atlas. He was shunned by all, but it come to a shock by everyone when it turned Jaune was innocent. The real murder had turned out to a White Fang member who framed Jaune for the whole thing. This lead to a mess of politics and confusion. They did get Jaune out of that hellhole…but it took three months. To twist the knife further, a mistrial got the real murderer to walk away scot-free.

(Now)

All the students were gathered in the cafeteria setting a party up for Jaune. Pyrrha was readying the cake hoping her beloved liked the flavor.

"I bet Jauney's still a total wimp." Cardin snickered.

BAM! The doors were kicked open and in walked Jaune. Jaune no longer looked the same. His blonde hair had dyed bits of black, his Pumpkin Pete hoodie now sleeveless revealing the tribal mark tattoos on his arms, and a dead-eyed expression on his face.

"I'm back, and y'all my bitches now!" Jaune said bitterly.

"Uh…ok." One student said.

"Jaune, what happened to you?" Nora said in a pained tone.

"Prison made me a bitch, so I made prison my bitch in return. The Blood Prison craved me into a fucking Ursa." Jaune said sharply.

"What, were you a prison wife to some inmate?" Russel jeered.

Jaune turned to glare at Team CDRL and had a twisted smile on his face.

"I need to ask. Who's the biggest, toughest guy in the room?" Jaune asked.

"I don't need to brag, but I…gahh!" Cardin said Jaune smashed a lunch tray over his hand.

Jaune viciously pummeled at Cardin, breaking his jaw and crushing his cojones with his heel. For extra measure, he set Cardin's teeth on the edge of table before jumping down on him breaking down the bully's teeth.

"Nora, as team leader, I have a decree. You are allowed free reign to break Cardin's legs or anyone who pisses me off." Jaune said as he emptied Cardin's wallet.

"Woohoo!" Nora said getting out her precious hammer. "It's leg breaking season!"

"Nora no!" Ren warned.

"I gave an order, Ren. Last time I checked, I am the leader. I call the shots, and I say Nora can break legs." Jaune said fiercely. "The kid gloves on these four are off."

Jaune turned to the rest of Team CDRL.

"Empty your wallets." Jaune said. "Now."

The three complied and Jaune put half of the lien in Velvet's hands.

"Go treat yourself." Jaune said to her. "And for what it's worth, I'm sorry I didn't shank that asshat earlier."

"T—thanks." Velvet stuttered.

Jaune actually showed a warm smile for once before walking back to his group. Weiss was horrified by the new Jaune, but Yang was eyeing the Jaune with interest. The party went on Jaune telling tales of being in prison. Blake had to hide her nose bleeding at some of the scenes Jaune described.

"Jaune, I didn't know what to say. It sounds like you've been through hell." Weiss said.

"But it shaped me. Hell, I befriended a now former White Fang member while I was there. He helped me out in my first few months. He died getting shanked to save me." Jaune said with a tear running down his face. "He asked me to do two favors for him when I got out. Mail a letter to some woman called Sienna Khan, and visit an island called Monte Cristo."

"What? Did it have a small fortune?" Blake asked.

"Just like in the book. I'm swimming in it." Jaune said with a smirk. "And I'm going to become the hunter to uphold the Arc name."

"Ah least, your record's clean." Ruby said innocently.

"But I won't be the same. My family is reeling still, but we can heal." Jaune said stuffing a few more slices of cake down his mouth.

He savored the flavor just glad he could have sweets again. The first thing Jaune had asked for when Qrow got him out of prison was the biggest bowl of Pumpkin Pete cereal. Jaune turned to Pyrrha and got up. Unlike the Jaune of old, he realized Pyrrha had the hots for him. And unlike months ago, he did not want to waste any time.

"Jaune, what are you….mmph?!" Pyrrha said before being pulled a heated sloppy kiss from Jaune.

Jaune's arms coiled around her waist pulling her close as their tongues danced. They broke up with the redheaded Spartan a blushing mess.

"Yes, Pyrrha, I'm aware of your feelings and I intend to make up for lost me. Our Room. 10 Minutes." Jaune said being rather blunt.

Jaune walked up leaving the cafeteria leaving everyone stunned stupid.

"Did Jaune just offer a booty call?" Yang said too shocked to make a pun.

Pyrrha's brain had to reboot before she realized what just happened. She ran for her room hoping and praying that was not a dream.

Things at Beacon were going to change as unknown to all at the moment, Jaune had a goal in mind, get revenge on the man who put him in jail.

(Challenge Rules)

Jaune can still have Crocea Mors as a main-line weapon. However, Jaune would have gained skills in hand-in-hand and knifeplay.

Jaune and Cardin's dynamic changes.

If you're going the harem route, keep the harem down to 4-5 girls.

Have fun doing this.
