A few weeks has passed after Weiss and Ruby made it and to everyone surprise, Weiss was acting more nicer-ish to everyone. Team RWBYS and JNPR were in the Amphitheatre with some other teams, Glynda had decided to show everyone about the used of aura in combat. To demonstrate her point she had Jaune Arc and Cariden Winchester battle each other. Throughout the match Jaune is not doing well in mere minutes of the match he's out of breath his aura level is in the red as for Cardin is still in green barely any gone.
Jaune thinking for one more attack, he charges and tried to wing his sword at the brute but Cardin being confidently, stepped to the side, and knock his shield out from his hand. Jaune stumbles back to his feet, refusing to back down, he charges one more time and swings at him but Cardin easy caught his strike. Jaune pushes down with all his strength, but Cardin was stronger and easily pushed right back
"This is the part where you lose" Cardin said
"Over my dead-" Jaune was saying before Cardin kneed him...right where it hurts the most for any man
(Oh that's low man!)
Jaune fell back in pain and could only stare as Cardin raised his mace above him with a sick grin, almost like he wants to actually hurt him.
"Cardin that's enough." Glynda stop the match making the brute back away looking disappointed. Professor Glynda turns to the audience "Student's as you can see Mr. Arc's aura level is in the red now. In a tournament style duel this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle and official may call the match. Mr Arc it's been weeks now please try to refer to your scroll during combat gauging your aura will help you to decide when it's appropriate to attack or when it's better to move to a more defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf now would we?"
"Speak for yourself" Cardin commented before he looks at the teacher. "Can I have another match probably someone more stronger?" He asks
Glynda looks at her watch"...We have time for one more"
"Perfect" he grinned before looking around the Amphitheatre, and his eyes landed on the our one silver eye,who the only one who has his hand up begging to be pick. Alright, you one the blue cloak.
Daven fist-pumped in the air that he's only one wearing a blue cloak in the Amphitheatre "Yesss!" he says as he walks up to the stage, pulling out Mura, and entering a fighting pose
Cardin stared at Mura in his hand and laughed at his 'small' weapon "Ha you think that small knife is gonna help against my weapon?"
"It's not a knife it's a dagger." Daven stated "There's a difference"
"Whatever loser….face me with your semblances!"
"Huh?"
"I saw that stupid video of you fighting that rare Grimm, everyone talking how strong you are with that crappy semblance you have I wanna prove them wrong how weak you are with it right here."
That hit a nerve to Daven pride but didn't let it shown of his face as he stares at him with some disdain" I only use it on those who are worth fighting seriously." Daven stated getting a few oooo from the audience." And you…. are not one of them." Another oooo for him
"Tck!" Cardin didn't like the sound of that as he growls at him
"But since you requested it I'll oblige to it this time" Daven said before holstering Mura away"…..and remember you wanted this." He stated to Cardin, he extended both his arm and put his hands close a large blue arc orb appeared between them. Daven presses his hands together crushing the orb and slowly extended his arms out from his a short static curved sword was created.
A few in the audience ooooo and clapped at his light display as for Cardin stood there not even impressed by it he lets out an overly confident grin "Prepare to get beaten you freak!"
Daven just smirked at him " There's a problem for that...You cant see me!" He shouted doing a John Cena face wave to him before taking a few steps back as the blue arc light wraps around his body making him vanish from everyone sight.
Everyone's jaw dropped they did not expect to see that happen even Glynnda had her mouth open in shock before seeing the stage was filled with small particles of arc light
"Hey, Cardin let's play whack-a-Grimm!" Daven shouted "….I'll play as the Grimm!"
Just then Daven popped in front of him while wearing a knockoff Grimm mask "Whack me!" Cardin swung his large mace like a mallet at him but Daven vanishes before he could even hit him "Whack me! Whack me! Whack meeeee!" Daven repeatedly shouted popping in and out as Cardin can't even land a single blow
Cardin growled as he kept missing "Grrrr Hold still so can I hit you!" The audience were laughing it up even Glynnda chuckling a laughing stock Cardin grits his teeth in anger "Come out of hiding you, coward!"
"Awww I was just having fun here but I think your right, it's time to wrap this up., Daven said he emerges out from invisibility and dashes at Cardin from his side and swing his arc sword with one hit Cardin was sent flying across the stage that made him drop his weapon as that happens his arc glow and curve sword disappeared so did the particles around the stage
The one silver eye noticed he lost his weapon and quickly pulls out Mura and Akrai. To his surprise, Cardin was able to get up from that. The brute realizing he lost his mace, he try to reach for it but as he got close 2 daggers was thrown at his maces handle pinning it to the ground.
Cardin try to get his weapon out but unable to "You should focus on your opponent not your weapon!" Daven shouted making the brute look up only to be greeted by a powerful knee to the face that send him flying off the stage hitting a wall making a dent in his armor.
Everyone stood, speechless at what just happened except for Glynnda who just smiled impressed at how much he's gotten stronger over the years with his 'semblances' and skill before looking at the one silver eye picking up his daggers off the ground and tossing the large mace back to a barely conscious Cardin. She looks at her tablet to see their aura level not to her surprise Daven taking no hits is fully in the green zone as for Cardin getting hit only twice eye hers widened to see his aura level was almost gone.
"Thank you for the demonstrations for us Daven" Glynda said to him
"Anytime I enjo-"
GROWWWL!
Just then a loud stomach growl erupted in the Amphitheater. Everyone turns their heads at Daven whose cheeks are a little red "Haha whoops he sheepishly scratched his head in embarrassment I forgot every time when using that ability I get very hungry quickly."
….
….
"Hahahahaha!" Everyone in the audience burst out laughing at him but that didn't seem to bother him at all
Well that ruined the moment for him
Beacon Cafeteria
Team RWBYS and Team JNPR are having lunch together in the cafeteria as Nora tells everyone about her crazy dream she had but Ren is well correcting some parts of her dream
"There we were...in the middle of the night"
"It was day"
"We were surrounded by Ursai"
"Beowolves"
"Dozen of them" Nora shouted standing up from her seat
"Two of them"
"But they were no match! And in the end….Ren and I took them down and made a boatload of lien selling Ursa skin rugs" Nora sounding proud of herself
"Interesting dream Nora" Daven said as he's nibbling on a cookie like a squirrel"….how longs that dream been reoccurring Ren?"
"Almost a month now" he replies
"Jaune….you okay?" Pyrrha speaking up getting everyone's attention as they look at the knight.
He appeared to not be paying any attention just kept poking at his lunch "….huh… oh, yeah! Why?"
"It just that you seem to be…."
"Depress? Daven bluntly said making everyone look at him, "What? You've all noticed!"
"You don't have to say bluntly" Pyrhha said
"Guys, I'm fine seriously look!" Jaune said giving them a thumbs up but a forceful smile and laugh
"You're not fooling anyone with that smile." Daven said with a deadpan face, "It's because of Cardin I bet?" He asks making the knight twitch.
"I should've known" Pyrhha said with a sigh "Jaune, Cardin has been picking on you since the first week of school."
"What? Cardin? Nah...he just likes to mess around," Jaune shrugged it off "you know practically jokes."
"He is a bully" Ruby said to him
"Oh please name one time he's 'bullied' me? Jaune asking everyone
...
..
.
"He uhh knocked some books out from your hands in the hallway the other day" Blake said
"Second, he activated your shield that got stuck between the door to class" Weiss added
"And lastly, on the first day, Daven spoke up "Cardin stuffed you in those rocket propel locker that went flying which would explain you crash landing near me."
Everyone sat there silently staring at the blond knight making him feel uncomfortable "I didn't land far from the school…." he said
"Yeah and I almost got crushed"
"Jaune, you know you can rely on us if you need help." Pyrhha assures to him
"Oo I have an idea! We'll break his legs!" Nora happily offers sounding very enthusiastic to do that
"I like that idea!" Daven agreeing with Nora "Although how are we gonna do that without being caught?"
"Guys, really it's okay. Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me; he's a jerk to everyone." Jaune said
"Well, you're not wrong there." Daven commented
At the same moment, a faunas bunny girl cried out in pain "Ow! That hurts!" She said as both Teams looks at who can you guess, Cardin Winchester with his team "Please stop."
"Ha! Told you they're real" Cardin said with a grin while his team laughs
"What a freak!" One of them said
"…..Excuse me for second everyone. "Daven stood up from his seat "A certain team needs a little discipline." He bows his head making his teammates blushed as he walks off
"Yo Cardin!" All the boys turn to Daven walking to them
Well,well, well. Look who it is. Cardin spoke up, letting go of the faunas bunny ears, It's the other freak his team laugh out
Yeah I'm the other freak….who you couldn't even hit once in the match earlier. Cardin growled. Plus made you look like a fool, He even growled more at him "but nevermind that I'm here for that girl.
Girl? This "girl" is a freak like you. Cardin said as he reaches for the bunny ears again but Daven was fast as he grabbed his arm
Leave this girl alone. Daven said in a serious tone as he threw the arm away from her Just because she's different doesn't mean you have the right to pick on her
Don't tell me what to do Sirius. Cardin said before glaring at Lightbringer dangling on his lower back "Ooo nice sword you got there" Daven raised a brow as a smirk formed on Cardin face "How bout this you and me arm wrestle right here, if you win I'll leave this freak alone …..but when I win you give me your sword"
Daven stood there silent "My sword." he said placing his hand on Lightbringer until he smirked as well" "….Alright deal."
"Daven No!" Ruby shouted from her seat
The bunny Faunas didn't want him get involved "Wait you don't you have- She stopped when she felt a pat on her that made her blush
"Relax…. I got this." Daven assured them with a smile
Cardin being the large brute he is and Daven being smaller than him you think the outcome is obvious but you know looks can be sat across another and get ready to arm wrestle
"Say goodbye to your swo-" Just before Cardin could even finish what he was about to say his hand was already on the table.
"Best 2 out of 3?" Daven asks him with a smug on his face
"Grrrr i wasn't he ready yet!" He yelled
"Alright... haha" Daven chuckles
Round two commence our score now Daven 1- Cardin 0 "GARRRHH!" screaming with all his might Cardin couldn't even move an inch of him
"Shall I dial it back?" Daven asks him only making him angrier
"Grrr You know what?!" He grits his teeth " Screw the bet I'm taking your sword!" Using his other arm Cardin tried to punch but Daven being the cunning one quickly pick up an empty lunch tray blocking his punch that made a small dent in it
"Whoa, Cardin" He quickly stands up and backs away from the table " I thought you wanted a friendly match here not a brawl!
Cardin ignoring him quickly picks up a cream pie and throws it him and he's going to regret that. Daven ducks his head missing the pie only to hear a big gasp from the entire cafeteria. Confused at gasp but suddenly felt a sense of murder behind him. He slowly turns his head around only to see Glynnda who has the cream pie that Cardin has thrown stuff in her face
(Oh shit.)
Wiping her glasses she turns her head to Daven glaring at him "So...Mr Sirius care to explain what happen?
"I uhhh just merely defended myself Professor Goodwitch." Daven raising his hand in defense "Cardin and I were having a 'friendly' arm wrestling contest then suddenly he tried to attack me."
Glynda looks around the cafeteria seeing a few students nodding agreeing to Daven's claim "You and I will have a talk soon but first" the Witch turns her attention to Team CRDL glaring at them making them sweat: "You four need some discipline on respect!" Using her telekinesis semblance Glynda took away the not so poor victims
"Well I'm in trouble," Daven said with a sigh as they were taken away. "But kinda worth it haha." he shrugged it off before turning his head to the faunas bunny "Sooo….care to tell me your name miss?"
The girl looks at him "Velvet second year….and thank you. She answers shyly
"No problem Velvet I couldn't let someone cute as you be pick on and names Daven by the way." He introduced himself with a smile making her blush at little before looking around Where's your team?
"Umm..they're in class"
"Really?...Hmmm..."Daven raised a brow before placing his fist on his hand "Oh! I know! How about you sit with us?" He said pointing where his teammates and friends were. "Come on please?"
Velvets looks at him in surprise and nodded yes, she was about to grab her lunch tray, but Daven being the kind-hearted boy took it first Allow me he took her tray for like a gentleman "Let's go." He leads the way making the bunny girl to blush as she follows him
They reach the table, where everyone was staring at them with only Daven's team glaring at the girl behind him, but shook it off "Hello there!" Ruby greeted her.
"H-hello" Velvet said with shyness "N-name's….Velvet" She introduce herself
"Guys this is Velvet a second year and new friend be nice to her….that means you Weiss." Daven said as he sets Velvet tray down and receiving an angry pout from the Ice Queen
(F-friend he called me his friend!) In the mind of Velvet as she sits down
"Hi Velvet I'm Ruby Leader of Team RWBYS!"
"Weiss Schnee"
"Blake"
"Yang with the puns!"
"Pyrrha"
"Ren."
"Nora!"
...Everyone turned to the knight who is once again poking his lunch, before he senses the several stares on him causing him to look up"… Oh...Jaune Arc."
"Rolls of the tongue ladies-Pfffa hahaha God damn it! I can't do it! Hahaha!" Daven tried to add in but fail to cause everyone to giggle
"Hey, They will!"
After a while getting to know each other with their new friend and after a very stern talking Daven received from Glynda, A few of them got different classes next Weiss, Blake and Daven are together alongside with two members of Team JNPR, Jaune, and Pyrrha even Velvet their new Faunas friend.
"Yes, Yes prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution, or popularly known as the Faunus War, humankind was quite,quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie." Saids the teacher or rather Doctor Oobleck a spiky green haired man that drinks coffee like no tomorrow and zooming all over the classroom because of his high energy. "Now while this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why the repercussion of the uprising can still be seen to this day." He takes another sip of his coffee "Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage? He ask his class"
Velvet and a few other Faunus students raised their hands. "Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence! Doctor Oobleck exclaimed as he sips coffee yet again. I mean, I mean just look at what happened to the White Fang" he stated. "Now, which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorists believe to be the turning point of the war." Weiss being the smart one raised her hand "Yes?"
"The battle at Fort Castle!" She answers,
"You know... they should've thought more of the naming thing." Daven pointed out getting a few stares at him "I mean Fort Castle? Seriously?! They could've named after someone more meaningful and original."
"They could have Mr. Sirius but any case Miss Schnee is correct. Now, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?"
Cardin being the bully he is to Jaune and not even interested in the class subject. He decided to make a fool out of him again, by throwing a paper football at a sleeping Jaune "Gah..hey!" Jaune said, surprised when he got hit which caused Doctor Oobleck to appear in front of his desk.
"Mr Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent, excellent! What is the answer"
"Uh...the..answer..the advantage...the Faunus." He looks over Oobleck shoulder and saw Pyrrha moving her hands over her eyes indicating binoculars to the knight, he was about to say it but saw Daven above her rapidly drawing something and showed a pair of realistic night vision goggles something Sam Fisher will wear. "uhhhh Night….Vision?"
Doctor Oobleck stares at him"…..Correct! Good to see you're paying attention "He said, Jaune surprise he got it right even Cardin.
Weiss, Blake, Pyrrha turned their heads at Daven shock at him until he noticed their stares" What?" He says to them. Weiss and Blake sighed and rolled their eyes but knew what he did and smiled so did Pyrrha for him for helping out Jaune
"Mr Arc is correct, many Faunus are known for having nearly perfect sight in the dark." The doctor explained. General Laune was inexperienced and and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep." He took another big sip of his coffee...you think he should try decaf? "As a result his massive army was outmatched and soon later capture." He then looks above at Cardin who's unaware. "And Mr Winchester..."
"Hmm?" He raised a brow before noticing a hit on the forehead by the same paper football he threw at the knight
"Next time, I prefer you play your games outside of class rather than disturbed a student." Oobleck said as he stares in annoyance, getting a few students laugh at the leader of Team CRDL while he growls and glared at everyone laughing at him
Cardin then scoffed and slam his fist onto the desk. "Why does it even matter? I know it's easier to train an animal than a soldier!" He shouted loud enough for everyone to hear, causing a few to frown upon him, especially the Faunus
"Not very open-minded are you Cardin Huh?" the brute looks across at classroom at Daven
"What? You got a problem?"
"Kinda If you keep treating people like animals soon they'll act like animal."
"So what?!" Cardin growls at him "They're animals and should be treated as one"
"And isn't your team name CRDL (Cardinal) that's a bird which you should already know that's an animal and isn't there a bird image on your armor chest plate?" Daven pointed out receiving a few "oooo" Kinda ironic isn't…..Birde" He said only making the brute angrier
Cardin was about to get up and about to spit out more insults but Oobleck spoke up once again. "Mr Winchester, do sit down". The teacher told him before looking at the time "So it seems our time is about to be up class is dismissed everyone can go now except for you Winchester since you've shown zero interest in class today you can learn about it this evening with the additional reading I have for you." The bell rang, and good timing because the rest of couldn't stop laughing at the poor leader of Team CRDL.
...
...
...
"Daven thanks for helping out Jaune there and I didn't know you can draw so well." Pyrrha said to him as rest of their team walks back to their dorms
"Anytime and Hey you know we can't do this whole Huntsmen/Huntress thing forever when we get old. So it's nice to have a plan when that time comes." He said that made her chuckled "Anyway you should talk to Jaune he seems….well kinda down lately."
"I was going to when he gets out"
"I'm glad you're helping him out. He said before making a teasing smile and lean close to her. "And I know you have a crush on him." He whispers making Pyrrha blushed bright red
"W-what are you talking about i...don't have a crush on him!"
"Oh come on don't deny it anyone can see it, well expect for Jaune for some odd reason but I'm rooting for you!" He said giving her a thumbs up
Pyrrha blushed more in embarrassment but she's kinda glad that he knows maybe he could him help her get close to Jaune. "I...I want to help him" she said to him
"Well his fighting skills needs some work maybe you could...you know train him a bit..."making another teasing smile "just the two of you...alone." That made her blush even more "And speak of the Grimm" he sees a depress Jaune walking from behind her"….I shall leave you to him" he said patting Pyrrha shoulder before walking away.
"Hey wait Ugh!" Trying to stop him but he was long gone She quickly turns around to Jaune" Uh hey Jaune!"
…
…
...
Things didn't go as hoped for Pyrrha and for Jaune too. He told her about how he didn't exactly got accepted to Beacon the right way he got in with some fake transcript and lied his way in. Believing he doesn't need her help he wants to do this on his own that he's tired being one alway being the loveable idiot stuck in a tree while his friends fight for their lives he wants to be a hero like his father and his father before him.
"Just...just leave me alone. "Jaune said to her
"If...that's what you think is best." Pyrrha said before leaving
Thing's is about to get more worst for Jaune when he heard a snide laugh from the ledge climbing up was his bully Cardin
"Cardin!?"
"I couldn't help but overhear you two from my dorm room window. So you snuck into Beacon huh? Never expected you to be such a rebel" he said with a devious grin.
"Please! Cardin, please don't don't tell anyone"
"Jaune, Come on! I'd never rat out a friend like that!" He sarcastically said walking close to him
"F-friend?"
"Of course!" He armlock around the knight's neck "We're friends now, Jauney Boy! And the way i see it as long as you're there for me when i need you, we'll be friends for a long time." He lets him go that he falls to the ground gasping for air. "That being said… i really don't have time to do those extra readings Doctor Oobleck gave me today. Think you could take care of that for me...Buddy?"
"…."
"That's what I thought and don't worry Jaune: your secret's safe with me. He said as he went back to his dorm window"
This is very bad for our knight, Suddenly we move up above them on the other roof we seen our one silver eyed protagonist popping his head out from ledge looking down at them "Oh this is not good."
A week have passed since Jaune and Cardin became good buddy's Jaune's is mostly been away from his team and friends. Jaune now standing outside of his dorm room hearing his team talking a field trip they have tomorrow and noticing that he's been gone a lot lately
"Hey Jaune." Daven spoke up that startled him and turned around "I haven't seen you around in awhile lock out again?"
"Uh no I have it right here see." He shows his him scroll
"So where you've been?" He asks
"I uhhh..."He sighed Daven "I screwed up. I did something I shouldn't have and now Cardin's got me on a leash and Pyrrha won't even talk to me" He lets out a big sigh "...I'm starting to think coming to this school was a bad idea." Jaune slide down to the ground I'm a failure"
"I've noticed you and Cardin 'hanging out' a lot and Pyrrha not talking to you and….Nope."
"Nope?" Jaune looks at him
"Nope...Jaune you're a leader now, you're not allowed to be a failure"
"But what if i'm a failure at being a leader?"
"Uhhh...nope."
"You know, you're not the easiest person to talk to about this kind of stuff"
"Nope and i beg to differ, pal, I kinda had the same talk with Ruby like this." Daven said as he sat next to him "Jaune, maybe you were a failure when you were a kid "he said that made him sulk "And might've even been a failure when we met," making him sulk even more " Look I know I'm making you feel bad but you can't be a failure now. Jaune why did Ozpin made you leader of Team JNPR?"
"Ummm well because …."
"Because He saw a man that can bring hope to others and lead them to battle, He could've picked Pyrrha but he chose you instead... he made the right choice and he did...but I'm disappointed in you in these past few days"
"W-wha i did?"
"Jaune it's not about you anymore." Daven sounding serious " you can't just worried about your own problems you got a team now we both do. You and Ruby are leaders for a reason both of you two can't fail us now. You two have to put your teammates first and yourselves second if not you'll make us fall with you,...because you guys need us...as much as we need you two, I may not be the leader of team RWBYS but I always there when Ruby needs a hand even to a friend like you.
Daven stood up and turns to him giving an encouraging smile "You'll be a great leader Jaune,... even if you got here with fake papers"
….
...
"Hm?:
"Ohhh shit I didn't mean to say that out loud! "Daven shouted as sweat drop behind his neck
Jaunes eyes widen his jaw drop and quickly got up "How did you…"
"Well… funny thing" Daven sheepishly scratched his head "uhhh remember when You and Pyrrha was on the roof together and she offered to train you and such and you rejected and you'll told her about the fake paper?"
"Uhh...Yeah how….how you know about that?" Shock that he knows that too
"I was on the other roof above you guys." He bluntly answers with a deadpan face
"Gah!" He literately fell to ground hearing that "Why were you on the roof?!"
"I wanted to find a quiet place to listen to music!" He quickly shook his head "Look Jaune You're a good friend to me and I'll be sad if you had to go and it's not just me Ruby,...maybe Weiss, Blake, Yang, and your team will be sad especially Pyrrha"
He walks up to his dorm room "Anyway you should get sleep for tomorrow field trip we have with Professor Goodwitch." He said as he enters his room "And trust me by tomorrow you won't be worrying about Cardin anymore I got a plan"
Next Day
Today is day of the field trip, Team RWBYS, JNPR, and CRDL are being escorted by Professor Goodwitch to the Forever Fall Forest were the leaves have a very distinctive beautiful red color like Ruby. Some of the students were admiring the scenery
"Yes, students, the Forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we're not here to sight-see. Professor Peaches asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure that none of you die while doing so. "Glynda soon stopped and turned around. "Each of you is to gather one jar worth of red sap however, this forest is filled with the creatures of Grimm so be sure to stay by your teammates. We'll rendezvous back here at 4:00, have fun."
Soon after that everyone disperses, expect for Jaune who was pulled away be Cardin and taken away from everyone else.
"Okayyyyy! Let's start collecting!" Ruby shout as she took some jars, leading her team. After collecting some red sap our blue cloak secretly snuck away from them without any of them noticing, he's a sneaky one remember
...
…
...
Daven was now walking deep in the forest,"Oh this plan sucks already haha." He chuckles before reaching a large rock, he removes his blue cloak and wraps Lightbringer and his two dagger around it" Please watch over me mom" He prayed to it before hiding it inside a tree hole He sat on top of the large rock and began to wait….
"Look who it is boys…..it's the freak" Daven. He heard an angry brute calling his name, He looks behind him to see Cardin and his team walking to him, their weapons drawn out and ready to fight. Daven just simply smiled at them
"What you smiling about Daven? Remember something funny?" Cardin sarcastically ask as he walks closer to him. Like you making fun of my team name by calling us Birde? The boys and I thought we should return the FAVOR!. He yells and swings his large mace at Daven that knocks him off the large rock. He laid on the ground dazed a bit
"Ow" he only said
"We're not done yet, get him up!" Cardin order as two of them picks him up and hold him. "You think you're so tough with that stupid semblance huh!?" He yells as he drops his mace and punches him right in the gut, making Daven fall to his knees but Caridin's goons pick him right back up
Cardin releasing all his anger on Daven with punches and kicks hoping to teach this 'freak' not to mess with him.
After throwing a few punches Cardin lifted his head up to his surprise he's still smiling "Hmph that's best you got on? He mockingly asks making the brute more angry "Come on Impress me! Yang punches harder than you Haha!" And he's not lying.
Having enough of his tough guy act Cardin tell his goons to let go him he's still standing until he got sucker punch by one them to the ground as Team CRDL started to kick and punches him with all they got.
After a while they back off all of them feeling satisfied with their work when they saw Daven barely conscious barely moving at all "That'll teach that freak." Cardin spits at smiled smugly as he turns around and walks away "Time for some payback"
Meanwhile back with our favorite team not knowing what happen to our hero "Alright done! Ruby shout filled up the last jar before looking at her team noticing a boy is missing "Hey...where's Daven?" She ask that the girls look around that their fifth member is gone
"He was just here a minute ago." Yang said
"Daven!" Ruby calls out but no response she started to get worried for him
"Think he got lost?" Blake asked looking around.
"Perhaps..."Weiss pointed out "He still gets lost around Beacon...but i'm starting to get worried"
"Nah It's Daven we're talking here," Yang shrugged it off the guy who can apparently turn invisible with his awesome semblance…."She punches her hands together I bet he's fighting some Grimm now."
"If he is we should go look him now!" Ruby stated
"Eh so what, so you can save him and receive a pat on the head you love getting as an award?" Yang teased to her
"Yes!" She shouted but soon realized she became almost red as her cloak, earning a chuckle from the others.
Away from them, over the cliff, Team CRDL and Jaune were looking down at them, our knight having no idea what's going on.
"Cardin….what are you doing?" Jaune ask as Cardin glares at them
"Consequence" He then pulled out a small box that was buzzing inside. "Alright boys, Last night ol' Jaune here managed to round up an entire box of rapier, and now, we're gonna put'em to work
"According to one of the essays he wrote me last week, these nasty things love sweets, I think it's time we teach these girls a lesson or two." Cardin and the rest of his team got up,picked up Jaune to his and shoved him an extra jar of sap they have. "And you're gonna do it"
"Do what?" Jaune asked hoping it wasn't he thought he had to do.
Cardin points at the jar " Hit them with sap. Either that or I'll have a cat with Goodwitch and you'll be on the first airship out of Beacon"
Jaune looks down at the jar and then at girls below, his teammates were there too….his friends, He couldn't say no how could he? It's either do it and hurt them or get sent away.
Jaune...why do Ozpin make you leader...he could've picked Pyrrha but he chose you...he made the right choice.
He suddenly remembers what Daven said to him last night. Did Ozpin really made the right choice making him leader?
You and Ruby are leaders for a reason…..you two can't fail us now...because you guys need us as much we need you two.
Jaune hold the jar tight, Daven was right...if he does this now, his team will be involved with his own problems "No"
"What did you say? Cardin asked not believing what he said
"I said…" Jaune then turns around throws the far at Cardin No!
Covered in sap, Cardin was not happy Ohohoho you've it now. Two of them held Jaune as Cardin punches him sending him to the ground.
He then picks him up and punched him in the face "You know that wasn't very smart, Jauney-boy"
"I don't care what you do to you're not messing with my team and friends"
"What? You think talk like that makes you tough?" Cardin said as he lifts him off the ground. "You think you're a big, strong man now? Like that blue freak?"
Hearing the word blue freak he knows who he talking about. "Daven!...where is he!?" He asked worried for him Jaune remember he didn't see him with his team.
"I don't know….maybe he got gobbled up by a beowolf." He smiles sadistically at him "Maybe you should you too!" The brute threw a punch but before it connects a white light burst around the knight, and when Cardin hit it, it almost felt like a brick wall he punched that he dropped Jaune.
"Huh?" Jaune stared at his hands that they're glowing for some reason. In his distraction, he was kicked down and looked up at Cardin
"Let's see how much of a man you really are." Cardin threatens. Suddenly
ROOOOOOOAR!
They all stop in fear, they all look at behind them to see a giant black bear Grimm Ursa with red eyes and white masked coming at them. It's bigger than the one of the usual ones they've seen it had spikes on its back
It sniffed the air smelling the sap on Cardin. The other members of Team CRDL ran in fear as their leader got attacked leaving Jaune and him alone. The Ursa slowly approached Jaune but it ignored him it was more attracted to Cardin of the sweet smell of the sap.
The brute tried to run away from the large Grimm but it was much faster it jump over him and swatted him to the ground. He crawled away in fear as the Ursa got close. In desperation, he pulls out his mace but got swatted out from his hands. The Ursa raised its claws to end Cardin, but only to stopped by a white shield.
Jaune saved Cardin life as he struck at the Grimm pushing it away. The Ursa slash at him, Jaune jump over it but got hit by its other claws pushing him away. He reluctantly landed on his feet and ran back to it again but yet again get swatted away
He looks at his scroll his aura level in the red but he's not willing to give up now and run away. He charged once more at the Grimm as he got close, without noticing he's shield moved on its own blocking the claws as he swung up at its neck cutting it clean off. The Ursa stumbled to the ground and its body began to disintegrated into black smoke.
Jaune couldn't believe it he actually took it down on his own(Not really) he sheathed his sword, and turn around to Cardin who was shocked at his display "Holy crap..."the brute got up, suddenly was pulled face to face with Jaune
"Where is he, Where's Daven?" Jaune asked sounding serious
Cardin began to sweat"...he's"
"Heyyy! What I miss!"
Cardin almost shat himself as he looks to the side to see the one silver eyed walking up to them with his sword, daggers, and cloak.
"Daven?" Jaune surprise letting go of Cardin he thought he did something bad to him
"I got a little lost but when I heard that loud roar I thought someone was in danger and quickly ran here" Daven said before smiling at Jaune "But it looks like you got it under control. He then turns to Cardin who is just a shell looking at him "Hey what's the matter, Cardin? He asked deviously smiling at him….it almost looks like you seen a ghost.
Cardin stood there silent, how is he okay? After everything and his team did to him there's not even a single bruise on him. But one thing is for sure he's playing with him if he messes with his friends, his team, he will be the one who will suffer the most.
Daven just chuckles at Cardin ghost-like appearance guess he's not messing with Jaune any time soon. He then patted Jaune shoulder " You've still got a long way to go so do I, some training with a certain someone you will improve. He hinted to him looking over Jaune shoulder to see Pyrrha, Ruby, and Weiss smiling at them
"Yeah….I want to be strong enough to protect everyone..which is why." without noticing Jaune drew out his sword pointing at Daven "When that time comes...I will be strong like you."
"Hmph...I'm looking forward when that happens." With a smile Daven pulled out his sword as well both cross their blades together a promise is made.
Ozpin Office
After that whole ordeal, Cardin stops using Jaune as an errand boy and hasn't spoken a word about the fake papers to Glynda or Ozpin.
"To think he let Cardin do that to him!" The voice of Glynda walking frantically around Ozpin desk sounding displeased at what happen. "Sir is it wise to let this go unnoticed? Mr. Winchester and his team attacked Mr. Sirius almost killed-"
"Mr. Winchester and his team didn't do any major damage to him" Ozpin interrupted her"…. they just...roughed him up a bit and I believed he wouldn't throw a fit about it."
Glynda sighed and rolled her eyes at him "I still don't understand why the boy could've just used his power to stop them from hurting him She crossed her arms"...Sarah would've used it if she was in that situation"
"She would have but she had more experience with it than he has….He still needs time to understand it and it seems he's still learning it's true power but at least he was doing what a Guardian does …protect and he was protecting his friend. Ozpin said looking at Jaune transcript paper as a recording plays in front of him"... I just wish he could've done it in a more safer way"
On the ground was the body of a barely conscious Daven spying on him he was almost about to pass out but they noticed from his hand an orb light formed into the yellow-orange light he crushed the orb as that happen his entire body lit up for bit until it disperse his wounds all of them gone fully healed like nothing happen to him he gentle sat up rubbing his head smiling "Oh man that took longer than expected…. still learning though haha"
Night Time Rooftop
Daven laying down on the looking at the shattered moon while listening to music. He kept thinking about what today (I can create weapons out of light and heal myself with it…..man what kind of semblance is th-
From out nowhere Ruby's face popped in front his "Hey Daven!-*Pow*
Scaring the living cookies out him Daven accidentally headbutted Ruby forehead with his head both screamed in pain GARRHHHH!
"Ruuby! Daven groaning in pain "Don't do that!
"Ah sorry mmm oh that hurts!" Ruby rubbing her forehead "We were looking for you we thought something bad happens to you again"
The pain faded away "Ah sorry" he sat up "Just need some time alone to relax" he replied as he pull out his earbuds before looking at the shattered moon again "…..Ruby."Daven spoke up getting her attention "Do remember when you told Ozpin and Glynda that you always wanted to a Huntress the night we met?"
"Yeah, how could I forget!" Ruby answers as she sat next to him That was an awesome night I got to meet you and you showing off the cool semblance!
Daven just chuckled at her "Well you should know being a Huntsmen wasn't my first choice to be"
"Huh it wasn't?" Ruby surprised at him I mean who doesn't want to a Huntsmen/Huntress in this world where they could save and protect the innocent. "Then what did you want to be?" She ask him
"Don't tell this anyone even to our team." He told her that she nodded yes "I always…... wanted to be a singer." He hesitantly said to her
….
….
"Pfft haha! You a singer?!" Ruby burst out laughing falling down laughing, even more, letting out a tear "Gahaha!
"Hey, I can sing you just don't know what."
"Oh really?" she let out a teasing smile as she sat back up "Come on sing something to me"
"Nope"
"Please!"
"Nope!"
"Mmmnm "Ruby puffed her cheeks at him "As leader I order you to sing something to me!" She orders him pointing at his face
"Hey that abusing your power!"
"If you don't comply I won't share my cookies with you!" She threatens him with his love of cookies
"Gahhh okay fine!" Unable to say no and he doesn't want to lose his favorite snack food"…..just one and don't laugh this was my mom's favorite song. He cleared his throat and began to sing
The seasons die out one by one, their lives fade to gray.
Their cries of death, become the wind, and then blow away,
A man much too sober to, enjoy the city's view,
He wastes away, so pointlessly, looking at the moon.
This life that's slowed down to a stop - a stick in the mud,
With rain that's tainted with a taste of pure alcohol,
With apathy these eyes; they glow in the city lights
I know I haven't done a thing but I still feel guilty …
It's as though, I'm alone, just living life as a bare shadow,
And by now, I can't be sure, if I'm 'me' anymore.
If I sing out to the rain, will the sun come out again?
I'm nothing but a dried up life, in this busy summer full of light,
Dear, my most hated Past,
I'm ready at last - to leave you behind,
Even if these steps I make -
Lead to the last breath I'll take,
A path paved with nightmares and horrible days
the trail I've left behind me,
Someday these flowers will bloom,
and they'll float down to you - wiping this life anew,
Even through my suffering, even through my endless grief,
With no sunlight breaking through the clouds above,
The song in my heart, plays on!
These days they die out one by one
as time slips away,
and though we try we realize
it's always the same
The flame that fuels our fragile lives
No, it won't always shine as bright,
Someday the fire, it will expire,
And leave meaning behind …
Even if, you're unsure, and hate yourself for not doing more,
wondering if you're still you - after all that you've gone through,
If you sing out to the rain - the sun may come out again,
your life is just a rotten dream - so things aren't as bad as they seem!
Dear, my most hated Past,
I'm ready at last - to leave you behind,
even If these steps that I make
Lead to the last breath I'll take,
A path paved with nightmares and horrible days
the trail I've left behind me,
Someday these flowers will bloom,
and they'll float down to you - wiping this life anew,
Even through my suffering, even through my endless grief,
With no sunlight breaking through the clouds above,
The song in my heart, plays on!
Tired eyes and heavy feet,
dragged along the hot concrete,
I'm frowning at the sun's red rays,
glaring through the sunset's haze
I'm not sure if I should go -
Should I return to what I know?
Then I find I'm turning back,
to face my pain-filled awful past,
That's right! I know that I've got to fight!
I must try my best to live,
even if there's no purpose,
After all we've been spared,
saved and picked from despair,
We'll leave these fractured memories
scattered far behind ...
Dear my broken down past ...
I'm feeling now at last the nostalgia you've left,
Just like those god-awful days and nightmares that never fade,
As close to me as I thought they would always stay,
I realize they're behind me ...
Someday these flowers will bloom,
and they'll float down to you - wiping this life anew,
Even through my suffering, even through my endless grief,
With no sunlight breaking through the clouds above,
The song in my heart, plays on!
The seasons bloom now one by one, as they come to life.

Clap!
Suddenly a single clap that got both cloak teens to look behind only to see the rest of team in awe
"Oooo Daven that was pretty good." Yang said holding up her scroll recording
"I'll admit….that was impressive singing." Weiss said to him blushing
"That was beautiful Daven." Blake looking away from smiling
His face utterly turned tomato red as his entire team just witness him singing he turns his head to Yang who was recording but doesn't know how long she was recording "H-how long were you recording Yang"
"Oh i got most of it Pretty Boy." Yang repiled slowly backing away to the door. "Now excuse me I'm gonna show this to everyone I know! She shouted running out the door
"Hey wait!" Daven quickly got up and chase after her as the rest of team laugh "No you're not!"
Alright done with the main story part and next up is the RWBY CHIBI little series is here I said I'll do, now I don't know if these will be a thing for now on but I'll occasionally put these from time to time or put them in a separate story to not confused you guys with the main story and there is gonna be some time skip like we haven't seen Sun yet in the main story but he'll be in RWBY CHIBI for laughs. For this, I'm only gonna put one bit and let's begin...and I did hint "Trap" in the last chapter
RWBY CHIBI Episode 1 Trap
Team RWBYS, JNPR, and two members of Team SSSN Sun and Neptune are in the lounge area in of their dorm. Yang holding a board game showing everyone what she had plan for them
"So why you call us here Yang?" Daven ask her
"Well Since after the whole Grimm invading Vale thing and we saving the day I thought we should have a little RNR before the Vytal Festival comes up and what better way for us to do is to play a board game together!" She answers holding a board game Conquer of Remnants
"BORRRING!" Sun spoke up "Why would we play a board game instead of Video games? Video games are more exciting than board games and it doesn't have the word bored in them"
"Hey come on" Daven said to him "It'll be nice to change thing up a bit instead of shooting a blue power armor super soldier chasing you with an energy sword or somethin"
"Gahhh Fine I'll play the stupid board game"
"Hmmm, How bout we make interesting then? Yang offers to them
"Interesting like how? Sun ask
If you boys win we girls will wear a swimsuits just for you guys. Yang said making the girls blush a little even her before making a mischievous smile . "But If we girls win you boys have to wear a dress."
"Deal!" All the boys agree expect for Ren who's just in disbelief
"Sure...why start being sensible now?" Ren sarcastically commented
…
…
…
The boys lost "AHH RUN! The boys ran out of the room in fear except for blond knight who has accepted his demise
"Get'em!" Yang order the girls to chase after them
"I don't know about them but i look great in a skirt." Jaune proudly said wearing a white dress
Yes you do said Pyrrha her arm slowly reaches for him slowly pulling him back into the room well you might as guess what she did to him
The boys ran frantically across campus they got separated some of them separated Sun and Daven popping in and out bushes like jack rabbits
"I think we lost them...for now" Daven popping his head up from the hedges
"Yeah I think we have "Sun looks around to see a totally unsuspicious banana on the ground "Hey look a banana"
"No Sun!" Daven tried to stop but it was too late Sun was fling up into air and taken away by a black ribbon
All alone now and his spot compromise Daven tried hiding between some pillars as he kept a wary eye out for them as they're still looking for him he can even hear there voices calling out his name " Oh cookies they're really determine about the dress thing"*Tap* "Gahhh! Oh Ren its you. He turns around to see Ren but only his silhouette. Where Neptune I thought he was with you?
"They got to him and I'm afraid it's too late for me as well Daven….."Ren emerge from the shadows that he's wearing a bright pink dress…... he is one of them. Whypink? You know why "Nora caught me ….Save yourself!"
"AHHHHHHH!" Screaming in horror he runs away from him, Being the last one, running around Beacon he's been at every spot he could hide from but they keep finding him he's been at, The Library, cafeteria, the training area, even the men showers! But there's one place he knows they'll never look….He reaches to Ozpin office luckily he wasn't there he was away on an errand " Ahaha they'll never look there No one will ever come here!" ...Think again
"Daven?"
"Gah!" Hearing a female voice it was Cinder in Ozpin Offices with him " Oh Cinder hi!
"What are you doing?" She ask
"I'm hiding!" Daven replied hiding behind Ozpin desk " The girls are hunting me to do nefarious things to me!"
"Nefarious thing? What kind?" Cinder intrigued by that
"The girls are making me wear a dress!"
"A dress? How unbelievably stupi-" (Wait...him in a dress) Suddenly an image of him pop in her head wearing a maid outfit "How many I serve you master!~ He said to her in a cute tone, winking and smiling. A perverted smile forum on Cinder face, her nose started to bleed, she flicked her fingers as she slowly walk behind him.
Daven unaware of what's she doing to him "Good thing you're not into nerfar-"he turns around to the flames of horror behind him. "Oh shit."
…
…
...
"Grrr Where is he?!" Yang angry they fail to capture him her eyes red she almost ready to blow up the entire school just to find him " He can't hide forever until this bit is over!"
Suddenly the door slammed open tossing out a tied up Daven landing in front of the girl's feet "Looking for this?" Entering the room is Cinder wiping her hands of a job well done
Yang looks at Daven soon to Cinder before both making a perverted smile "As a matter of fact ….we were" The girls circle around him each of them holding an item to transform him. All of them devilish smiling and laughing evil at poor Daven as he tries to screams in horror….poor bastard.
...
…
...
"It's a little hard to wear because my tail" Sun adjusting his yellow banana dress to fit his tail
"Ehhhh doesn't look bad than I thought." Neptune said looking at his bright blue dress
"See I told you!" Jaune smiling at them as they accepted it
"I don't know about Daven though." Ren said as all of them turn their attention to the one silver eye away from them
We move to our poor hero standing in shame who's wearing a long black hair wig, some makeup "I've been violated." Daven said letting out a small tear wearing a long hair wig maid outfit he looks like an actual girl, And to make things worse for him one of Team CFVY was there Velvet rapidly takes pictures of him with her camera ready to share with the entire school
….
…
...
"Lookin Hot!" Nora shouted from the distance
Okay official done with this chapter hope you enjoy that RWBY CHIBI not the best but it was first so what expected?
First thing first the song Lyrics it's a cover song called 'Season Die One After Another' and I DON'T OWN IT all credit goes to the Youtuber LittleJayneyCakes She does covers of opening and credit songs of popular animes. This one is from Tokyo Ghoul second season credit song and the cover she did for it was amazing, it fitted so well with the story and the OC I planned and I kinda gave you all a hint what's going to happen way later in the series...it's called foreshadowing remember.
Second, Why didn't Daven just used his 'semblance' to beat up Cardin and his team and save Jaune? Because if he did Jaune would still feel like he's still a weakling if he was saved again and I didn't want that. And Yes I'm shipping JauneXPyrrha if you all were wondering
And Finally, thanks for reading see you all in the next the chapter!
