Hey guys! I bet you're wondering, 'Wait he said CU made him cancel EP.' And that is true, but I decided to just say FUCK it. And write it anyways, what are they going to do? Bitch about it again to the site? They have no ground left to stand on. So screw them. I'm going to write more for this.

But there are going to be some changes. I'm not going to take random requests, especially since that would increase my work load and I'm in the Army, I'll be working a lot. Especially with Air Assault school coming up. I'm gonna be busy as hell.

Anyways, it's been awhile since I wrote this, so I'm starting off with something simple to help me get back into it. So here we go.

"Woah, what just happened?" Ruby felt like she had waken up from a long nap.

"I don't know, maybe whatever force that brought us into this universe decided to just say 'Fuck it' and continue our course through this event." Ozpin said as he sipped his coffee.

"So what universe do you think we'll see Jaune in next?" Nora was honestly curious.

"Hopefully not something nearly as depressing as that last one." Glynda hated seeing sad realities, she knew their world wasn't a a fairy tale, but every now and then it would be nice to see one that wasn't depressing.

"This is not battle Nora….this is slaughter.." An aged Jaune said from atop a horse as he was adorned in armor.

A battle played below him as his warriors were fighting off a band of Branwen raiders.

"Woah, Jaune got old." Yang pointed out as she took notice of his appearance.

"I believe the term is silver fox." Nora said as Jaune actually looked hot as an old guy.

Seriously how was Jaune attractive even when he was aged?

"Whats with the armor and crown?"

"Is he a king?"

"Well can you blame them? Your legend is known from Vale all the way to Vacuo, everyone wants to have their place trying to kill a huntsman. You are the Monster Slayer." Nora said as she looked down at the battle.

"We humans are the monsters now…The time of Grimm and Huntsman has ended Nora….The fall of Beacon killed it. Leaving man and faunus kind with nothing but weeping martyrs….and shame…" Jaune looked like a man who had seen too many battles.

"Wow, that's deep." Yang was blunt about it.

"What does he mean by the time of Huntsman and Grimm are over?" Pyrrha couldn't help but think that meant something else.

"Maybe the huntsman were no longer needed?"

"But then what happened to the Grimm?"

Nobody was really sure what happened.

"SHOW ME TO KING ARCWOLF!" A voice cried out as Jaune looked down to see some of his soldiers restraining a raider.

"What in the name of Odin are they doing now?" Jaune and Nora rode down to the site.

"Probably just another raider trying to get through, its nothing new my Lord." Nora rode down with her king.

As Jaune got closer and closer to the raider in question. He found himself becoming disgusted with his so called warriors. They were just mocking him and playing with him rather than killing him outright.

"HALT!" Jaune ordered as he rode up.

"What is this?! You call this battle?! Mocking your enemy in this fashion? Cut his throat while he still has some honor left!" Jaune yelled as he turned to ride away.

"I don't really like this so far." Ruby didn't like how Jaune talked so casually about killing.

"What time are they in? Has anyone else noticed that the only weapons they seem to be using are the non transforming weapons of the past wars?" Glynda noticed that almost all the weapons were normal.

No special transforming sniper rifles. No special gun nunchuks. Everyone was using swords, bows and arrows and normal weapons. It was almost as if this world was set in a different time. And Glynda wanted to know when.

"COWARD! KILL ME YOURSELF!" The man yelled as Jaune stopped his horse and refused to look back.

"Heresy! The king must not engage in direct battle! Cut his throat and put his head on a spear!" Nora ordered as the warriors pulled a knife.

"STOP!" Jaune barked out a command as he turned to look at the man.

He had dark hair and a beard and was carrying some kind of large broad sword with him. Jaune hopped off of his horse as he cracked his neck.

"Let him up…"

"My Lord…the king must not engage in-" Nora tried to say.

"Let…him…up…" Jaune ordered as the warriors let the man get up.

"Why do I get the feeling that Jaune is actually a bad ass and is going to absolutely destroy this guy?" Yang was getting that vibe.

"I don't know, but….hey that's Uncle Qrow!" Ruby pointed out as she got a closer look at the raider.

"Huh, I suppose we should have figured that out when they said Branwen raiders."

"I still find it weird seeing myself in these realities." Qrow took a sip of whiskey as he mused over how his life ended up like that.

"You want your name in the song of Arcwolf?" Jaune asked as the man got up.

"You think it should end with me being killed by some Branwen raider with no name?!" Jaune seemed angry but at the same time curious.

The man stood up to his full height as his hood came off of his head and he glared at the king with anger and determination in his eyes.

"I'm Qrow! Of the Branwen Tribe! And my name will be remembered forever!" He yelled as Jaune pulled his sword.

"ONLY IF YOU KILL ME!" Jaune looked prepared for battle.

"Damn, I've never seen Vomit boy so brave." Yang was honestly kind of impressed with him.

"I think he's been through more combat than we can ever think of." Blake was adding in her two cents.

"Come on! I want to see the fight!" Ruby wanted to see how good Jaune was.

"Otherwise you're nothing!" Jaune threw his sword down.

"Aww." Ruby was disappointed.

"You think, you're the first to try to kill me? Or the hundrenth? Hm?" Jaune was walking closer to the man who was confused as he held his bastard sword.

"Well let me tell you something…Branwen!" He was unstrapping his armor.

"THE GODS WOULD NOT ALLOW MY DEATH BY YOUR FEEBLE BLADE! THE GODS WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DIE BY A SWORD! OR BE TAKEN BY THE SEA! THE GODS WILL NOT LET ME PASS IN MY SLEEP! RIPE WITH AGE!"

As Jaune got closer and closer, he stripped off more armor and Qrow found himself becoming more afraid.

"What is he doing?!" Ruby shouted as she couldn't believe Jaune was leaving himself open.

"He's too cocky for his own good." Goodwitch did not like this Jaune.

"That arrogance will get him killed." Weiss knew from experience that pride could blind you.

"How could Jaune be so careless?" Pyrrha asked as she knew how careful he could be.

Suddenly Jaune ripped his shirt open.

"PLUNGE YOUR SWORD HERE! QROW BRANWEN! TAKE MY LIFE!" Jaune ordered as he motioned towards his bare chest.

"SOMEONE!...GIVE HIM A SWORD OR I'LL…..I'LL!" Qrow was freaking out, he expected an honorable battle. Not this!

This was not honorable, Lord Arcwolf was just giving him the chance to kill him with no battle involved.

"YOU'LL WHAT?! KILL ME? WELL KILL ME! DO IT! KILL ME! KILL ME!" Jaune almost seemed to beg him at the end.

Suddenly the group went quiet as they processed what was going on.

"Jaune isn't being arrogant…" Weiss was starting to dawn on a horrible truth.

"He is begging for death…" Ozpin couldn't believe it.

The boy was always so full of life and bright, but here he was begging for someone to kill him. Almost as if he was trying to make amends for some mistakes he had made. As if h was an old man just begging for death.

Qrow unable to kill the man without honor fell to his knees and seemed to almost cry at the oppurtunity being taken away from him. He just couldn't bring himself to kill Lord Arcwolf, it wouldn't be right.

Jaune sighed and picked up the sword and held it to the throat of Qrow as he made him look in his eyes.

"You know why you can't kill me my friend?" Jaune asked in a softer tone as Qrow looked him in the eyes.

"Because I died many…many years ago when I was young." The look in his eyes spoke of regret and heartache.

At this nobody made a sound. Just the way Jaune spoke those words was enough to silence them. What could have happened when he was young to make him beg for death. What could have made him want to pass on even when he was a king? Why did he seem to be full of shame?

There were so many questions they had that they couldn't answer.

"Jaune…" Pyrrha wanted to know what was wrong.

Jaune threw the sword away as he turned away from Qrow.

"Give him a gold piece and send him home, he has a story to tell." Jaune got back on his horse as he looked towards his castle.

Yet another day that the gods kept him alive.
