Chapter 5.

Disclaimer: On the 12 day of christmas Rooster teeth gave to me
A middle finger for asking for RWBY.

AN: Damn we are just climbing! Thank you all so much for your support and keep it up! And thanks to LoverForeverNow for catching my mistake with Cardin's team. I will be getting to fixing that.
Now to answer some questions.
"Will Raven be in this?" Well, I haven't decided yet if Mother of the year should show up, but if you guys keep asking, then I'll see what I can do.
"What happened to doctor patient confidentiality?" Well, they are still in school, and a combat school at that. Student parents and family need to be updated on life changing medical conditions. This was how I reasoned with it. So Sue me.
"Anyone know how to play amazing grace on the bagpipes? I think Jaune's gonna need that." No, but I can get team FNKY on board for the funeral.

Now you guys seem to forget. I NEED YOU GUYS VOTES ON THE PREGNANCY! Feel free to leave your vote on gender and number of babies. (Once again, 7 sisters, the Arc seed is potent.)

Without further procrastination, onto the chapter!

UPDATE: 6/23/2017
And I'm back. Been meaning to do this for some time now, and why not now? Should I probably release the new chapter first? Probably. But I haven't stopped doing impulsive stupid things yet!

Winter sat at the cafe with her sister, enjoying so much needed time off. With her career, it had become increasingly difficult to stay in contact with what little family she respects, and was nice to talk with her younger sister. The two had been catching up most of the day, catching up on lost time. To anyone else, the temperature physical dropped 30 degrees, but the sisters where just catching up in a very Schnee like way. That being nit picking at each others small mistakes. However, all pleasantry the two were having were cut off as both of their scrolls.
"SHE'S WHAT WITH HIS!"
"HE'S ATTACKING WHO ON WHAT!?"

Both sisters looked at one another with questioning looks. After a minute of awkward silence, Winter was the one who broke. "An old...acquaintance was seen attacking someone on a civilian ship. Command wants me to go rein hi-the person down." Winter replied coolly "Now what was your dilemma about, sister?"

Weiss gave a defeated look. There was no hiding this from her sister. The younger Schnee let out a sigh. "One of my teammates, The blonde one with that dresses very...loosely, just informed me that my partner may have just gotten herself into a problem because of some... very annoying Idiot."

Both got up, and gave each other a quick sisterly hug, and went to solve the problems, heading in opposite directions.

Why do you always get into the biggest messes, you dolt!? And remind me to kick Jaune in the crotch. Or better yet, get Yang to do that...Yes...Mwha hahaha! Weiss thought as she paced towards Beacon, most likely to bail out Yang when the police finally subdued her. That is, if they managed to. If the past years had been any indication, Vale's police force was not the most efficient.

Damn it Qrow, you drunken bastard of a man. Just once I would like you not to make a god damn scene while I'm trying to enjoy myself. Do you know how hard it is to go through the amount of paperwork these childish acts generate?! Christ, I hope you better have a good reason for this. Winter fumed as she made her way to her ship.

Jaune was currently running for his life. Well, as much running as being in an airship would allow. Which to say, is not nearly enough to dodge cannon fire from an angry drunk uncle. He did manage to get out of range of that the blood thirsty blade by sacrificing Ren's...thing. Whatever it was, edible was not one of them, and it did serve to slow Qrow down. But as Qrow began to corner the Blonde Arc, Jaune quickly began to see his options narrow down rapidly.

Looking towards a window, Jaune looked down to see miles of forest. They where 30 minutes away from Haven by airship, but in 30 minutes, Qrow would have his head on a pike.
Letting out a groan, the Arc prepared to do one of the dumbest things he had ever done. Well, right next to going into combat school with no real training and his family's old sword. But hey, that worked out well, so hopefully this would to. Jaune looked down below, seeing the forests down below.

"I hate my life"

And with that, the Arc jumped out the window, his aura shielding him from the broken glass. Quickly falling towards the forest floor, Jaune tried to remember Pyrrha's lesson on landing.

The Two stood on near the high jump on the Beacon pool, preparing to work on landing and changing momentum when falling

"Now Jaune," Pyrrha said "Today we're gonna work on landing. One of the key things to a good landing is to be able to-"

Suddenly, Ruby walked in, wearing a rather... Yang-like bikini "Yang, are you sure this is only swimsuit you have?"

The Blonde Brawler followed behind, wearing a similar bikini that highlighted her boo-Bad Jaune, think, landing. Listen to Pyrrha

"-and that's should cover the basics" The champion finished off "You ready?"

"Wait, what? NOOOO" He was cut off however as Pyrrha gave him a encouraging push off the deck, only to see the knight flail his arms uselessly and belly flop into the pool

"Sorry!"

The Arc's flashback was cut off as he landed hard on the forest floor. His aura had taken the brute of the hit, but reduced him down to dangerously low levels.

"OWW, It was be observant of your surroundings, why is it always that I forget the most important step first!" Jaune groaned as his entire body ached in protest.

Getting up, Jaune cracked his entire body. Nothing was broken, save for his pride, which had been shattered enough over the years of put through humiliating shenanigans. He still could shuttered at the many food fights caused between teams JNPR and RWBY, nearly all involving him flying through the roof at the very beginning.

Looking up to check if he was safe, Jaune froze in terror. There, falling from the ship with much more grace then him, was Qrow. That man was determined to punish the Arc. Jaune did the only thing that came naturally to him in this situation. Run. Run for the god damn hills. Who knew, maybe he could make it to Haven, that which is 50 miles away through dense, grimm infested forest. Yup, He's screwed.

Bolting with as much speed his legs could bring, Jaune ran. After what seemed like forever, Jaune finally stopped, bringing his head down, panting hard. Maybe Sarge's deadly version of exorcise helped him after all, because Jaune didn't see Qrow anywhere. The only thing he did see was a black bird circling above. Letting out a sigh, Jaune went to a stream for water, exhausted from the sprint. Looking down at the calm stream, Jaune saw reflection. Taking a sip from it, the water began to show a large black mass behind him, similar to that of a grimm. No, Jaune's luck couldn't be that bad, could it?

Unfortunately, it was. Behind Jaune was an Ursa Major, and a rather large one at that, towering over the Arc. Reaching for Corcea Mor, Jaune was shocked to see his hand come up blank. "Don't tell me I left it on the ship" Jaune groaned as he leaped out of the way of a massive paw strike.

Great, now he was stuck in the middle of a forest, low on aura, no sense of direction, no weapon, a homicidal drunk after him, and an Ursa wanting to use him as a chew toy. Seriously, did he just walk by a black cat while breaking a mirror because tripping over some salt? Actually, something like that did happen a couple months ago, but there was no cat, just Blake who stood by, watching the Arc bumble over. Oh well, Jaune hard more pressing matters, such as the giant grimm who wanted to rip his face off.

Jaune began to duck and weave through the grimm's attacks, the beast's strikes seemed slower to the Arc than the past death threats he dealt with that week. Finally seeing an opening for an attack, Jaune curled his fist. He'd seen Ren take down grimm before with his bear hands. Hey, Yang might have appreciated that pun.

If only she wasn't trying to kill him.

Pulling back his fist, Jaune brought it down on the grimm's skull with all his might, his eyes closed with effort.

He opened one eye, hoping it worked.

It didn't.

The grimm, rather than be defeated by the punch, seemed unfazed, and if anything, agitated at the pathetic attempt. Raising it's claws, the Ursa prepared to end the Arc. Jaune could merely stand and look frantically around, but his attempt had left him closed in with the grimm.

"HELP, ANYONE!" Jaune called out, desperation forcing the Arc's hand.

SWISH

Jaune was shocked to see that his plea worked, and he was now out of the Ursa's reach, suspended up in a tree by a familiar silver blade.

"Corcea Mor!" Jaune said, grinning "But wait, I left you on the ship, then..." Fear began to return to the Arc as realization hit him.

There standing in the clearing, was Qrow, and Jaune was now stuck in a tree by his own sword. With a flick of his wrist, the more experienced hunter reduced the dark bear to ashes in a single slash of his scythe. Dropping his stance, but not yet sheathing his weapon, the drunk man faced Jaune.

"So Jauney Boy." Qrow said, raising his blade towards the hunter in question. "I want you to explain, word for word, what happened 2 months ago, in the next 30 seconds. If I deem it right, I'll let you go. And if I don't...well Tai and Yang are gonna be really disappointed they didn't get a turn." He said, planting his blade dangerously close to Jaune's crown jewels.

"EEP! Wait really?" Jaune said, his face full of hope.

"25..."

"Okay, Geez!"

Thankfully, Jaune's story had passed Qrow's check. Apparently when he first found out, he was the only one who had thought to contact Ruby first, rather than go on a death hunt for him. After Qrow got the story, THEN he went on the death hunt. Cutting the tree Jaune was stuck in clean in half, Jaune found himself free in the most overkill way.
Pulling the tree off of him and pulling out his family blade, Jaune turned to Qrow. "Hey, why are you so mellow about this?" Jaune asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
Qrow looked at him. "Well to be honest, might be because I'm drunk as hell right now. Or could be that Yang and Ruby are here literally for the same reason. But eh, who knows. One last thing before I go. If that baby doesn't have a father when it's born, there will be a fate worse than death for you if you choose not to." And with that, Qrow jumped over the clearing, bolting off at speeds only a veteran hunter could have, disappearing from sight in seconds.

"Well, now that he's gone, I can finally make my way to Haven...SHIT I FORGOT TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS!"

Qrow stared off blindly as Winter began bombarding him with logistics.

"-A priceless vintage airship destroyed, hundreds of angry civilian complaints, several witnesses gave reports of unprovoked violence, and intoxicated in the line of duty! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!" Winter ranted off at the the dusty crow.

"Nope" Qrow said simply. Winter stared at Qrow as hard as she could, but eventually the glare broke, her expression softening.

"You can't keep doing stuff like this Qrow."

"This was just a one time thing, Ice Queen. Now, how about we pick up where we left off last time?" Qrow said, a grin rising from his face.

"Right now? but-"

"Ssssshhhhhhh. Less talking, more naked."

Ruby was beginning to get some peace. It had been a day since Jaune had left, had Yang was nowhere to be found. This was both a good thing and a bad thing. Good because the problem of her sister was out of sight, out of mind. Unfortunately, this also meant that she had begun her Arc hunt. Ruby could only hope that her long term distraction proved to be effective. Ren's hair dye was not cheap to replace.

Letting out a yawn, the pregnant redhead stretched out on her bed. For the most part, it had been an easy day, the classes flying by. A nap in Port's, a coffee infused lesson on history with Oobleck, thankfully dodgeball with Sarge (Red team, again. Now if only the lazy freshman on her side would quite taking naps and getting Sarge mad at them) and surprisingly no sign of her teammates. Normally Ruby would be against this, but now she was glad to not have her teammates. She could not handle the lecture Weiss was going to give her, or the judging stares from Blake. She wanted to end her last year at Beacon on a good note. With Graduation just 2 months away, the deadline was approaching. She still had to decide her main plan. Before the events, it was to stay with her team and be heroes. Maybe get a boyfriend, or get enough parts to give Crescent Rose an AI program to help run some of the upgrades she been wanting to add. But alas, her future just got thrown a huge wrench thanks to that one night. It was moments like these that made Ruby truly miss her mother. Wiping a single tear from her eye, Ruby made note to visit her mother soon. It had been to long since the last time she went.

"Awh great, now I'm all emotional.." Ruby said with a low laugh. Ruby began to ponder what life would be like with her baby. Would Jaune be a good parent? Would she be a good parent? Would she be able to continue her dreams, or would Jaune be held back by her? She had to admit, the image of her and Jaune standing beside a girl with blonde hair and silver eyes was a comforting thought...

"RUBYYYYYYY!

WHAT

DID

YOU DO!"

"Oh...Hi Weiss..."

Weiss held up her message from Yang. "EXPLAIN. NOW!"

Omake: Blood Gulch Gym.

Simmons and Griff ducked as a hurl of rubber balls flew past them. Running to the corner, the juniors hid in the arena. Unlike a regular school gym, Beacon had a full out arena, simulating a boxed off canyon, complete with two bases, fitting the man in charge of the gym's color spectrum. Red, and Blue. Griff fell on the floor with an audible thud, his orange aura glowing as it absorbed possible damage.

"Griff! What are you doing! The Blues could be here any second! OR worse Sarge! I don't want him to see me with someone slacking off" Simmons said frantically as he tried to get his partner up.

"Oh can it you Kiss Ass! My lungs are trying to kill me!" Griff said, refusing to get up.

"Griff, we hardly did any running!"

"Keyword running. And running requires energy. Energy that I am not willing to spare."

"I know a drink that will fill you right up! It's here in my cylinder!"

"NOT NOW DONUT" Both Griff and Simmons yelled at the teammate the been ignoring.

"I DON'T SEE YOU RUNNING DIRTBAGS! BLAMOE!" The team looked p to see Sarge in the standing above them, shotgun aimed at Griff.

"IT'S ALL GRIFF'S FAULT SIR"

"OH SHUT YOU KI-OW!"
