Jaune Arc: The Ultimate Weapon

Chapter 1:

When Jaune was let out of his solitary confinement, he was assaulted with the smell of fear and anxiety. He looked at the guards who eyed him with a cautious nature. Buried under twenty feet of rock and guards Jaune was content with his solitary. He embraced it for the haven that it was. Oh if Luke only knew that the reason Jaune wasn't going crazy in the solitary was because he felt safe. The man would think he had a break through. Jaune spaced out as he walked through the large hallway to the elevator.

The guard requested Jaune to move a little faster to the elevator. Jaune sighed. While he didn't mind some fresh air every now and again he preferred his cage. His cage was two pronged. An inner prison that he was kept in, then a larger one so that he could run and twist around should he want to. There was even basic work out equipment and a damn TV. To be honest he loved it here. No White Fang, no Military. No fighting. It was heaven. Jaune felt guilty though as he was loaded up on the elevator. His thoughts drifted to Luke as the guards took their positions in the elevator.

Luke tried his best to help Jaune. Jaune knew that. He thought he could help Jaune become better, to be fixed. Unfortunately, Jaune's soul wasn't anything like his body. It was scarred, beaten, and torn apart during his time with the white fang. Jaune had basically given up on humanity in general. He had a firm belief that people were stupid and horrific until proven otherwise. So far, this practice had saved his life. Luke was one of the few people that proved he was a decent person. The others….

Well they tended to die quick.

"…So…" said Jaune "How have things been?"

The guards stood silent. Their intense staring drilling holes into Jaune's metal encased head.

"….Jesus bub lay off will yea I won't cut yer throat."

The guards seemed to get annoyed at the jab of their skill. Jaune didn't blame them. These guys could probably knock out several inmates on their own. Too bad Jaune wasn't a normal inmate.

"Ok since you guys won't talk, mind telling me why I'm even getting out of solitary? I know Luke told me yesterday about being let out but I'm actually wondering why the hell I'm out?"

The guard on the left of the elevator spoke up.

"Don't know and honestly don't care."

Jaune rolled his eyes.

"Sure bub sure…."

Jaune looked around the elevator and whistled a bit…finally the silence began to start eating at him.

"Ok seriously how far did you guys bury me?"

The guards had the decency to look sheepish.

"About fifty feet."

Jaune turned around and faced them, arms crossed.

"I thought my cell was only twenty."

The guards gave him flat looks. It was the one on the right that spoke up this time.

"It was until you killed Julius. Then we moved you to a different cell that was deeper."

Jaune narrowed his eyes. Fair point.

"Wait we have deeper cells?"

Silence was his response. Jaune shrugged, killing a man in the facility usually meant there was going to be repercussions.

But to be fair Julius was a right bitch who pissed Jaune off by being an ass. Didn't help that the fucker was a crazy serial Rapist inside the prison. Nah that just gave Jaune more of an excuse to gut the dumbass in the middle of his game. In the end it worked out well. For a while Jaune assumed he was being tailed by White Fang. Turns out it was just good old paranoia, but you never know right? So in the end Jaune wasn't that torn up about killing Julius. The Facility was a serial rapist and Jaunew as buried away from people thereby lessening his chance of exposure to the wrong people.

Good plan great plan.

Till it turned out the facility wanted to study him. And now they let him out.

Jaune sighed. Dammit he thought he was done with this stuff. The elevator dinged and Jaune was introduced to the recreation floor. The area was huge, it had to be. To keep an eye on all the inmates this floor was both a cafeteria and a recreation center. Weights, basketball court, and even a large T.V was in this one area. The room went silent as Jaune made his way to the cafeteria. As he took his seat he had one train of thought.

Sit down, shut up, and eat some food. There was also the whole ignore everyone attempting to murder him with their eyes but they could be ignored. Jaune didn't consider himself a fighter. He never sought out a fight unless he felt he needed to. For the most part…he just wanted to be left alone.

Oh jeez who was he kidding. Jaune was built for fighting, hunting, and killing. His mind, the way he saw the world, and more importantly the way he moved reflected his killer instinct. It was a part of himself that he hated but it was the part of him that kept him alive, that showed him how to fight….

How to kill

"UH, your Jaune right."

….God dammit. Seriously how hard was it to find alone time?

Jaune looked up in shock and noticed some female inmate looking at him. Jaune looked around and noticed he was in the very center of attention. Many inmates stared at Jaune as he sat down at a table by himself.

"…Yes I am" said Jaune.

The female inmate smiled as she sat down. Jaune sighed and got ready for a conversation he didn't want or needed.

Jaune didn't consider himself too handsome, not with his current features anyway. Jaune wore the full green prison jump suit with his prisoner number on his left breast. His hair, once short and shaggy, had grown long and bushy from his years here, in captivity, and seeking revenge. His face, while youthful, was covered in a full beard that dropped to his collar bone.

He looked like a damn animal man. The funny thing was, is that in a way that was both true and wrong. Jaune couldn't help but smirk when he remembered how angry the Faunus were when they learned that while Jaune had more in common with actual animals due to his increased senses, bone claws, and some mental facilities, he was in truth, not Faunus.

It pissed them off a new one. Jaune was a mutant, beyond either human or Faunus. Jaune thought of himself as an anomaly, a glitch in evolution as it were. His bone claws jutting out of his hands and his body healing from all injury without the use of aura was evident of that much.

"I just wanted to say thank you".

Jaune looked surprised.

"What for?"

The female inmate smiled. She had striking blonde hair and a saucy smirk. She wore a white tank top and wore the upper half of a jump suit around her waist.

"For killing that Julius prick. That brat couldn't face any of us so he had to sneak it in, if you catch my drift."

Jaune gave a serious expression as he glared at the inmate before him.

"I don't think celebrating someone's death is exactly normal?"

THe inmate smirked.

"sure sure. The names Rachel. If you need anything in this dump of a facility let me know. I get that this whole place sucks so if you need any of the creature comforts let me know and I'll hook you up."

Jaune smirked.

"This place ain't that bad."

Rachel had to smirk.

"True that. But aside from that Luke guy everyone here is just shady as shit. Trust me I know a con when I see one and everyone excluding Luke and the Guards are as fake as can be. At least the guards treat you like a person if you're polite"

Rachel smiled at a guard who nodded back with a polite smile.

Jaune nodded and went back to his thoughts. Rachel seemed to get it as she got up.

"Well just wanted to introduce myself to the great Wolverine. You may have made some enemies with that move of yours but don't forget you've made some allies as well."

Jaune was confused until he looked around him. Sure enough a great number of both female and male inmates were sitting at the tables around his. Giving him his privacy but also acting as a buffer from the weirdos that were glaring at him from across the room.

"…Jesus" thought Jaune "how much did I miss just sitting in my cell."

Jaune sighed. He may not want to talk much, but he wasn't an ass.

"Thank you" said Jaune "I wasn't expecting…"

Rachel smirked.

"Don't worry about it. Like they say, there's honor amongst thieves. Not everyone here is a stone cold killer. Sure we got some blood on our hands or stole some crap but usually for a reason. Thankfully Luke gets that."

Jaune smiled.

"Seems like you're the one with a crush."

Rachel bursted out laughing.

"OH if only!" she laughed "The man's happily married. If he wasn't I would have jumped his bones by now!"

Jaune rose an eyebrow as Rachel waved goodbye. It was then Jaune sighed.

"I guess even I like social contact" muttered Jaune.

He'd forgotten how nice it was talking to someone. Jaune may not like to talk much but that didn't mean he didn't want to talk at all. He kept himself locked up so that others wouldn't get hurt by his…episodes. Jaune's ears rang as he heard a loud blaring sound come on.

"ATTENTION ALL INMATES. GUESTS HAVE ARRIVED ON THE PREMISES. I REPEAT GUEST HAVE ARRIVED ON THE PREMISES."

Jaune sighed as he got the burgers and went to join the others. Many of the inmates we're already leaving to go to their cells. While the guests would walk by the area, it would only be for a short while and as such it was best that they were there to limit their contact with these guests. Jaune himself, thanks to Luke, was being set up with a temporary cell. Well…he was until a little hiccup showed up.

-With Beacon-

The Bull head landed with nary a sound. Ozpin was the first off the Beacon airship and looked at the facility. Standing well over several stories the entire facility looked like an old fashion castle but on a much larger scale. The walls were dust treated as to prevent any form of magical or aura enhanced escapes. It was a marvel of architecture from across the four kingdoms.

And it was used to house young aura powered people. Ozpin never understood why the Facility remained the only building built in this manner. He understood the costs of such an endeavor, and the maintenance fees, but even so the benefits of such a building should have warranted at least some process into mainstream. Perhaps even used on the towers.

But alas it never came to be. Behind Ozpin were many of the Beacon first and second years. However, most notably was teams RWBY and NPR. Team RWBY, the fastest growing team in all of Beacon. This group's synchrony and prowess was growing quickly and efficiently. While they had a lot to learn, especially on an individual basis, their skills as a team was well beyond that of first years, maybe even second years.

Team NPR. The only three member team in all of Beacon academy. They use to have a fourth member, Pyrrha's in fact, but the stress of seemingly competing with Pyrrha's skill and Glory proved too much for Pyrrha's ex-partner. In Ozpin's opinion this was a turn for the better. Being someone's partner was never about competing against each other, but elevating each and helping one another to break their limits and achieve new strengths.

Pyrrha's ex partner proved incapable of that mindset, and as such was incapable of meeting Beacon's almost impossible standards of hunting. In fact his mindset was so off putting that Glynda herself requested his resignation of academics at Beacon Academy. Again and again the foolish man thought of Beacon academy as nothing but a game, thinking that everyone around him we're simple opponents and that the whole point of being a huntsmen was to win tournaments.

Even Cardin, a man with some rather despicable opinions, knew that this wasn't a game and deserved the respect and time to master. In the end, Pyrrha's partner, Victor Creed, was let loose and was transferred to Haven academy. The man was too violent anyway.

These two teams were the rising stars of Beacon academies junior years (First and Second).

"Are you sure arriving early is the correct thing to do Ozpin?"

Ozpin turned to Glynda. His partner in crime and in life. Their relationship was one best kept secret due to in part their positions in the school and in truth their intense desire for privacy.

"Luke told me to arrive as quickly and as efficiently as possible. He did seem rather frantic on the phone. As such I am inclined to know what exactly he is so anxious to show us. That and I believe now is a good time to take this trip. The students need to see this place, and understand the responsibilities that rest on their shoulders."

Glynda sighed.

"Too true" she muttered "while older they are in the end just children. Children with super powers. More then one of our students went high on their own power and went rampant, thinking they were exempt from the law due to their positions as Huntsmen in training. But even so why not simply give a lecture? Why come here again and again Ozpin?"

Ozpin smirked.

"Why Glynda, are you afraid your students may discover their strict Combat instructor was in fact once a young delinquent who spent time in the 'slammer'?"

Glynda glared at Ozpin, the smallest hint of red on her cheeks.

Ozpin chuckled as they were led into the facility. The old wooden doors of this ancient castle were removed and replaced with vibranium, the strongest metal in the world with Atlas having the only stock hold of it. Vibranium had the ability to absorb all sorts of energy, making it a fantastic shield against even aura. But due to the sheer costs of the metal, making droids or military equipment out of it was simply impossible.

Thus Vibranium's limited military presence.

But in the case of the facility, the costs were thought to be productive. So far they have been. The outside of the castle may have looked old but the sheer size of this old castle was well over two kilometers. The purpose of this building remained unknown. It was the purpose it now served that was important. For additions had been made to this castle.

For inside the castle was well over twenty floors of the same length. Many of these floors were retrofitted with cells for inmates. Other's for a variety of purposes and functions. Some of which was black listed.

Ozpin was not someone you blacklisted hence another layer of suspicion on the place.

While this sounded like a prison, which it very much was, the rooms themselves were spacious, had decent beds, and even television and other recreational forms of entertainment in the case of inmates with small offenses.

The idea behind this entire facility was to help young people off the path of evil. Unfortunately, some wardens strayed from that path and instead treated it as the prison it looked like, and felt like to some. but Opzin liked to believe that for the most part these inmates were treated fairly well.

Especially considering some of the inmates were capable of murder and worse at the drop of a hat.

Special treatment indeed.

In the end though the war on Grimm was literally neverending. New warriors are a must in this battle. As such the effort put in place reflected the need for new blood. Finally after walking for a short time Ozpin reached the entrance. Team RWBY and NPR flanked him as Ozpin allowed the security measures to be done.

Glynda seemed annoyed that the first years thought Ozpin was just someone they could talk to like another student but in the end it was Ozpin's decision whether he reprimand them or not.

"So what is this place" asked Ruby "seems rather large for a research facility."

Ozpin chuckled. Is that where these kids thought they were? While it was true that Beacon also made a trip to the greatest R&D department in Remnant (mostly for weaponry upgrades) this was not the place. However, Opzin could see why Ruby would think so due to the secretive nature of the facility. To be honest the trip to the R&D lab remained the most popular, no student liked going to this prison.

It reminded them too much of the consequences of their actions. That due to their powers and abilities that these kids were subjected to restrictions the average citizen was not. It was why Beacon was almost its own functioning city, that way the students could walk around and use their semblances however they want.

In truth the city cared little about semblance use in public. The problem came when said semblance was pure combat based. Many a Beacon student got in trouble for mindlessly using a fire ability to propel themselves. Many a semblance when used mindlessly were incredibly dangerous, hence the law. For cases like that Ozpin usually handled them. However, from time to time students got in trouble for using their semblance in more criminal pursuits.

There was also the sad fact that being around people as durable as you made one forget how fragile the average human is. Too many accidents over Ozpin's long life had occurred from sheer accidents. As such there were laws in place that restricted such dangerous use. Hence the visit to the facility. They knew the law.

Now it was time to learn what the consequences of those laws were.

"No Miss Rose, this is the Juvenile Facility for Aura Enhanced Individuals. We at Beacon Academy think it's prudent for students such as yourselves to be aware of this facility and what it represents."

Ruby seemed to be shocked at the fact. Not that Opzin blamed her. Ruby was a weapon's expert, she was probably looking forward to the R&D trip. She'd get it eventually. Besides Ozpin needed to speak to Brian about this whole scenario.

There was too much going on here that screamed conspiracy. Didn't hurt that all the screaming in his head was saying the same. Ozpin immediately became on guard as the massive doors opened. He blocked out the noise of the guards. Ignored the routine tour he's heard many times. Instead he focused on the things around him.

Guards with guns? Not unusual considering the electric ammunition they used. No instead Ozpin noticed they were armed with live ammunition, instead of non-lethal. Noticeable due to the lack of a blue glow coursing through the gun, a sign of electricity flowing through the cartridge. That was the first strike.

As they walked through the reception desk, Ozpin noticed several people in white lab coats. Scientists? Doctors? There's only supposed to be two doctors on site. One for the male inmates another for the female.

Ozpin saw six in the little room they walked past. Glynda too seemed to be growing more suspicious. Now Ozpin was starting to see why Brian wanted him to arrive earlier then intended. It was so he wouldn't miss these little signals.

The third and final strike was when they took the elevator. The elevator in this stronghold of a prison, because that's what it was to Ozpin now, was see through. Entire floors could be seen by the elevators, and this prison was nothing but several stories of prison cells, where at the bottom was the cafeteria and entertainment location. To Ozpin's anger the children were being corralled to their cells. Highly unusual since they were supposed to be roaming the facility during large hours of the day as each inmate visited Luke.

This was not what the facility was designed for. Many rules were being broken. It appears Ironwood would have to do a clean-up. Say what you'd want about the man Ironwood was all about efficiency and 100% completion. He was the only man Ozpin would trust to replace all the staff. After a few minutes inside this colossal elevator, Ozpin saw it.

"…it appears you have a problem" said Ozpin.

Both guards and students were immediately on guard, admittedly for different reasons.

The guards got on their talkies, while the students all pushed and shoved to see the ensuing chaos. What struck Ozpin was a single sentence from the guards.

"THE WOLVERINE IS OUT OF HIS CAGE! I REPEAT THE WOLVERINE IS OUT OF HIS CAGE!"

-With Jaune, not minutes ago-

As Jaune finished his third burger courtesy of a lunch lady that was really really young and stupidly hot.
No seriously like number ten hot. It didn't make any sense to Jaune at all what a beautiful red head named Natasha was doing at this stupid rehabilitation facility, then, he was stopped.

Standing in front of the elevator was a small gang of people. With a string bean of a man standing as leader. He was one of those people that tried to look threatening with tattoos and a, admittedly funny looking, sneer.

"Can I help you" muttered Jaune.

The man before Jaune seemed to sneer even more as he tried to be intimidating. Key word tried. The man was a Faunus that much was certain. Yet unlike most of the Faunus Jaune was used to dealing with, this man seemed weak. He had small ram horns on the side of his head that barely poked out of his hair. His body was scrawny while his eyes held a beady ambition to them. Yet on his shoulder was a White Fang Tattoo. The smell this man had on him reminded Jaune of rats.

….Son of a bitch they followed him even in here.

"So I heard you're the one who killed our boy Julius."

Jaune glared at the Faunus before him. It also became apparent that there were others surrounding him. What was once small, now became a larger group of eight people.

"Bullshit, this isn't about Julius" Jaune whispered.

The Faunus smirked and got into a stance.

Jaune scowled. Four men surrounded Jaune while the remaining number guarded the elevator door. Each of them seemed to be confident in what they were going to do to him. Jaune smirked. With little effort Jaune broke the cuffs. His skin was bruised but his metallic bones helped break himself of his confines. The bruising healed in the blink of an eye.

The Faunus jumped back, scared now that Jaune and free use of his hands. Jaune cracked his neck. Jaune laughed at their stupidity. Perhaps if they had the help of the female inmates they might have stood a chance.

Might of.

"You know, I really don't want to add to my record but this? I'm going to enjoy this."

The faunus sneered.

"KICK HIS ASS!" he yelled.

Jaune rolled his eyes. Of course, this would happen. The first grunt was a fat one carrying a butcher's knife, obviously taken from the kitchen. Jaune disarmed him easily and using his momentum and his feet, tripped the inmate and sent him flying a few feet. Of course, the idiot fell on the knife. Thankfully it wasn't anywhere lethal but the blood that was oozing out of him was scaring the man. As he screamed in anger Jaune stared at him.

How weak was his aura? If he even had one. If he were to hazard a guess some of these guys we're mercenaries. It was rare to find a mercenary with aura due to the massive restrictions that was placed on such power. Poor guy. But that was in the case of mercenaries in total. In truth if there was a warrior in their group capable of aura usage they would ordinarily unlock it for the rest of their crew. What the hell was going on?

Jaune turned around and the leader grabbed him by the shoulder's and headbutted him. Their heads collided but Jaune wasn't dazed. Instead the white fang infiltrator was staggered as he tried to regain his bearings.

Jaune cracked his neck as he smiled.

"My turn."

With that he reared his head back and smashed it into the White fang warrior. He was sent flying a few feat and collapsed on his feet. Unconscious.

"Jesus Christ you all suck!" yelled Jaune.

At the sound of laughter that was quickly silenced Jaune looked up. Sure enough there was a friggen audience in the damn elevator!

"What the hell?" muttered Jaune.

In that instance Jaune was stabbed in the back by the fat man who fell on his knife. Jaune screamed in anger as the man twisted the knife.

"yea that's right no one laugh's at the blob!"

Jaune turned around and pulled the knife out. He glared at the large fat man, now named blob.

"Really?" said Jaune "Really!?"

The Blob grinned as he began to charge at him. Jaune noticed that his wound had shut but wasn't closed. Instead the bleeding stunted due to the sheer fat of the man. A good claw to the head would solve this but Jaune seriously didn't want to be dug into a deeper hole.

Literally.

Jaune stood his ground, back to the elevator. Jaune was itching to use his claws, but not in front of an audience…and not in front of these damn cameras. The doctors in this damn place have been trying to make him pop em out for years. He wasn't giving them the satisfaction.

Wait…considering their group weakness, evident by the fear in the other men's eyes, Jaune hazard a guess that it was only this Blob and the other weakling that were in let in. Perhaps in an effort to showcase his full combat capabilities.

Jesus as much as Jaune enjoyed the solitude he wasn't worth staying to be experimented on.

AGAIN.

"Not to self" muttered Jaune "Make an escape plan."

Jaune crouched a little lower, a means of lowering his center of gravity, as he prepared for the point of contact with….Blob. Yet nothing could have prepared him for this. The Blob yelled as he reared his body and body slammed Jaune upwards with his fat.

Jaune was sent flying straight through the air and into the elevator. He shattered the glass on impact almost made a dent in the metal of the elevator. Students crowded around him. But Jaune ignored them. All he felt was anger. He wasn't losing, not to that damn…huh so the name actually works.

"Oh its on now" muttered Jaune.

He locked eyes with a beautiful red haired woman who seemed wide eyed at his arrival. He scowled as he got up. The guards had their guns trained on him but Jaune ignored them. With a war cry worthy of his ancestors Jaune jumped out of the elevator and hurtled himself at the Blob. The Blob himself seemed surprised that someone was still standing after his charge.

The elevator was silent until Yang spoke up.

"SO where can I get tickets for round two?"

The guards glared at her while Ozpin gave her a look.

"Ok shutting up now" muttered Yang.

Instead the students watched as Jaune decimated the other inmates with his fist.

"Who is he?" asked Ozpin.

The guards seemed hesitant to answer, until the elevator stopped. The door opened, with some difficulty as Luke barged in. Ozpin nodded to his friend and the elevator kept going. Ozpin sighed in aggravation as he watched the blonde man fight savagely against the other inmates. The guards seemed raring to go. However, much to Ozpin's satisfaction, the guards never attacked. They had live ammunition in their gun, not non-lethal. As such using it in this situation would cause several casualties. Instead the guards in the room were preparing some stun-batons and collapsible riot shields. To Ozpin's delight they were mumbling to themselves why they weren't allowed their stun ammunition.

It appears regardless of the rules the guards were still looking out for the safety of the inmates.

"So who is he?" asked Ozpin.

Luke seemed hesitant to answer but relented. They were closing in on the bottom floor.

"His name is Jaune. He's a good person who's here after…several murder charges."

Ozpin and everyone else in the room were dumfounded at good and murder being used in the same sentence.

"Why would you consider him a good person after he killed people?" asked Ozpin.

Luke's eyes took a dark edge.

"Considering they we're Faunus Terrorist and Human Supremacist I can say he is. It isn't right how he did it, it's why he's here. But he isn't a mass murdering Psycho. Besides before you and Glynda start, who are you to damn a man when your own hands are unclean."

Ozpin was surprised at the words Luke spouted. He was protecting Jaune, quite adamantly too. It usually meant that Luke was too attached to the patient. But in this…prison as Ozpin is forced to say, that's a good thing. For someone to be looking out for the them in this facility's current state.

Ozpin was also quick to notice Blake Belladonna's uncomfortable expression. He could fathom why, considering whose blood Jaune must have shed. In fact, many of the students were beginning to become uncomfortable. Ozpin sighed as he turned to Luke.

"I want the students out of the facility. When this elevator touches down I want your guards protecting the students on their way out."

The screeching of the elevator to the wall was getting annoying so Glynda scowled and with a wave of her hand the elevator was fixed. The ride went down much faster as they arrived in the scene of the gruesome beating. Jaune had his legs wrapped around the Blob's neck, the blob's arms too fat to reach Jaune's body, and was hammering away at his head. Eventually the Blob fell unconscious. Jaune turned around at the ding, instinct almost making him draw his claws.

"Stand down Jaune!"

Jaune stared at Luke but relented. The guards ignored him. One went to begin apprehending the blob and the white fang intruder, while the other punched a button and turned the elevator back up. Before the door closed more guards piled in, numbering eight in total. The students stared at Jaune, blood on his shirt from broken noses and scrapes. Jaune cracked his neck and turned to Luke.

"I don't know who these guys are but the string bean over there isn't an inmate. Neither is the fatass. If you'll excuse me, I have a cell to get back to."

Ozpin went to open his mouth but Jaune was already moving. It took him a second to realize that the elevator he would have taken down was in use.

"….Dammit" muttered Jaune.

Jaune turned to the guards and held his hands out. The guard seemed ready to cuff Jaune but Luke stopped them.

"Enough of that. Jaune isn't a threat. You know this, so hold up on Madam Hydra's rules for a moment."

The guard seemed hesitant but then sighed.

"You got a point. It was that warden of ours that let a nutjob like Julius run lose for so long. Don't expect me to back you up if she gets pissed about this."

Luke nodded. Ozpin approached Jaune and gave him a clinical look.

"So you are Jaune…hmm."

Jaune narrowed his eyes. He wasn't usually the sociable type. He liked the occasional discussion mind you but for the most part he was fine alone…

It seemed the guy didn't get the message.

"What did you want?" asked Jaune.

Ozpin smiled.

"You have a remarkable resemblance to a dear friend of mine. But regardless it seems that you're more special then you let on."

Jaune was confused until he felt it, the briefest, and dare he say it gentlest, touch on his mind.

"Get. Out" growled Jaune.

Ozpin placed his hand on Jaune's shoulder, unafraid.

"I'm sorry Jaune. With my gift I unfortunately get the occasional thought or image from people. The fact you can feel my presence already tells me you are used to…what I can do."

Jaune nodded while breaking Opzin's hold.

"I take it there is more to your situation then I am probably aware of. But I can sense it Jaune, you and me are both…anomalies in this world. Just in different ways. Luke brought me here, for reasons I have yet to understand. But I have a feeling they have to do with you. I sense from Luke his urge for me to talk to you, yet his fear of telling me to do so. Mind elaborating?"

Jaune narrowed his eyes.

"If you are what I think you are…you could just tear it out of my head."

Ozpin smiled.

"Gifts like ours should be used with restraint should they not? I'd like to avoid using these abilities when I can. That and I always like talking one on one with people, rather than learning everything about them in an instant."

Jaune looked at his hands.

"I'm no gift."

Ozpin smiled sadly.

"These gifts of ours come with quite the price don't they?"

Jaune looked at Ozpin and saw in his eyes for the first time someone that would understand.

"…yea…yea they do. Alright…I think this warden here's a putts."

Ozpin rose an eyebrow.

"I'll need more than that to investigate the warden. I already have many things I need to discuss with her…but if you have evidence then I will have the grounds to remove her immediately and put someone more…favorable in charge."

Jaune looked down and then stared at Ozpin.

"….Go in."

Ozpin looked at Jaune with surprise.

"Jaune…."

He waited for Jaune's last name….a name he didn't give.

"Alright then, Jaune I don't usually do this. My gift isn't something to use so carelessly. By that I mean I have no control over how many memories I may witness. Once I start…I may see it all."

Jaune swallowed hard.

"I know. But if the white fang was able to enter this place then they will enter again. I can't afford to be caught by them so just do it and get it over with so I can go back to my cell."

Ozpin sighed. His eyes glowed a slightly, a visible sign of his power use and dived in.

It assaulted Ozpin all at once. The suffering, the pain, the joy, the happiness, and the despair when he lost it all. He saw blood, claws made of metal. He saw a young girl, three long bloody gashes on her arm, his hand sticking out, his bony claws dripping with blood.

Then Ozpin jumped and found himself in a tank, metal tubes injected into his body, hot scalding metal flowing through the pipes and into him. As the pain hit him he found himself in the streets of vale, hunting down the white fang.

Then...he was back. He was kneeling on the floor, alongside Jaune, with Glynda helping him up.

"Are you alright?" asked Glynda.

Ozpin looked at her, his eyes losing their glow.

"I am fine Glynda, it appears Jaune was more…valuable then we first assumed. That…and he is not safe here."

Glynda was confused.

"What?"

Ozpin looked at Glynda.

"He is like me but..different. He was captured by the white fang and experimented on to create the Ultimate Weapon. They want a return on their investment and will not stop until they have him. Here he is vulnerable but with us…the White Fang won't dare to approach Beacon, not without an army or a plan. Both of which we already knew was in the wind."

Glynda swallowed.

"But…his record."

Ozpin sighed.

"I know…but can you say that we are clean?"

Glynda sighed.

"No…no I cannot. What else did he show."

Ozpin narrowed his eyes.

"It appears we have to have a talk with this…Madam Hydra."

Ozpin stood up and grabbed the walkie talkie from a guard. He thanked him for the radio.

"This is Ozpin Xavier Octavius of Beacon Academy. This is a code Black 3651, I repeat Black 3651. Authority of the entire facility has been transferred to Luke Alder."

The guards in the room, and on the railway, saluted at Luke.

"Orders Sir!"

Luke looked at Ozpin with shock but then quickly began belting out orders.

"I want the inmates secured and looked after. Make sure everyone is on the rosters then I want you guarding the ground and going on patrol. I want a halt on all projects. If anyone resists you assume they are hostile and arrest them. We have two intruders here, lets make sure we don't have anymore."

Luke let out a shaky breathe as the stress of it all hit him.

"If you'll excuse me" said Ozpin "I'll be making my way to the main office."

Suddenly the facility rippled as an explosion tore out a building.

"NO!" yelled Opzin.

Glynda and Ozpin glowed purple as the flew under Glynda's power. When they reached the top Ozpin was glad that the guards were surrounding the students, riot shields out, and slowly making their way to the door. They were almost out. Ozpin looked to the left and noticed that all the scientists were.

"Oh my God" muttered Glynda.

Ozpin cringed as he stared at their headless bodies. Their computer was destroyed with an explosion, hence the destroyed wall. A guard was caught in the blast but his armor absorbed the blow. He was unfortunately unconscious. The scientists, now headless, had probably outfitted themselves with explosives.

What was so important that they had to be killed over it. Ozpin sighed.

"What has been happening under our noses" muttered Ozpin.

He turned to Glynda.

"Get to the head office. If you see Madam Hydra, apprehend her, if not get the transfer papers done. NOW. We are taking Jaune with us."

Glynda nodded and with the speed enhancement granted by dust was gone in a blink.

Ozpin grabbed the walkie and got his orders through. He got to the students, them being his top priority. The guards opened the door and to the annoyance of Ozpin there was an airship leaving the airspace.

Ozpin glared at the ship. He sighed as he turned to the children. Most were confused, others were scared.

"I am sorry children. What happened here today was negligence on my part. I had not researched the safety of the facility in some time. I should have done more routine investigations."

Most of the students laughed.

"Come on headmaster you couldn't have predicted this! Don't worry about it. Besides isn't this what you're teaching us for?"

Ozpin smiled and shook his head. Leave it to Yang Xiao Long to brighten the mood.

"Be that as it may I have some…news. Due to the situation at this facility and some new evidence that has distorted his case, we have a new student coming with us. I would appreciate if you welcomed him."

Most of the students were on edge as Luke arrived with Jaune.

"Are you sure about this Ozpin? I mean making him a student was the furthest thing from my mind. He doesn't even…he doesn't even like people. I don't mean that half way I mean he utterly does not trust anyone. Any trust he has in me took three years to form! And its barely there. Not only that but I brought you here to solve the issues here and possible help Jaune with his mental traumas."

Ozpin silenced Luke.

"It is fine. Besides we've been needing a new student and Jaune is the only applicable applicant in this facility so far. The others are either too early in their sentence to bring in or have gone to other academies. The rest have either failed our entrance exams or are here for…crimes that need not mentioning."

Luke sighed.

It was true that Jaune being a student was the best way that Ozpin could protect Jaune…but it seemed to Luke that there was something else that Ozpin was after and Jaune was at the center of it.

"….I'll get the paper work."

Ozpin smiled.

"No need. Glynda is filling it out as we speak. What I need, is your consent, Warden."

Luke took a deep breathe. He wanted to help Jaune…but was being in a closed environment with thousands of young men and women really a good idea? Yet…Ozpin hadn't failed him yet.

"Ozpin…He will need help. Jaune is strong, unbelievably strong. But that strength of self is what separates him from others. He has shut himself off in every sense of the word. He will talk to you, hell in some cases he'll hold a civil conversation. But…but he is guarded constantly. He doesn't let anyone near his heart or his mind. He keeps everyone at an arm's length and will not trust anyone. He doesn't talk about it, but I think he has PTSD or rather a unique form of it. He seems fine, even around explosive noises and other similar sounds. He has no problems fighting either as you've seen. But when he is in the doctor's office…he becomes quiet. Very tense. He also has the occasional nightmare."

Ozpin nodded.

"I see" he said "I'll make sure to keep that in mind with our sessions."

Luke grimaced.

"He gets violent in those nightmares. More than one bed had to be replaced. But…sessions?"

Ozpin smiled.

"I will be having some sessions with Jaune to help in get used to his new environment. I won't be throwing him in there and he isn't the only student dealing with similar traumas. They may not be the same or of equal intensity, but I will try to help him all the same. Expect a phone call within a few days for some of your notes."

Luke sighed and nodded.

"alright. I hope this works out for him. I'll go and tell Jaune now."

Ozpin smiled as Luke walked away. He went to the airship to have the students sent back. Besides the few hours between him and the students travel time will give Ozpin some time to think on how he will address the situation. That and he needed to get the headmasters together to discuss their options. However, Madam Hydra was…she was a new player in this sick game. They had Salem, The White Fang, an unusual alias by the name of Cinder Fall, and now this?

The world was getting worse.

And they needed to be ready. But for now?

Time for Coffee.

End.
