I would like to thank SparkyDapperDab19 for writing this chapter with all the details in the fight scenes that I could have been able to do myself.

I hope you enjoy the chapter

"Hey!" Ruby stated with excitement. "It's starting up again!" Ruby grinned as she felt Summer pat the top of her head.

"I honestly just want to see something that isn't so… unusual." Blake commented and the others agreed to this. While the video showing Jaune as some prodigal engineer easily picking off white fang left and right, it felt too random for any of them to truly wrap their heads around.

"Despite it being somewhat random, it was amusing nonetheless." Summer said and Qrow raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't know you liked that sort of humor Sum." Qrow said while taking a swig from his flask and Summer narrowed her eyes at him.

"Well I find it more amusing than drinking." Her retort made the huntsman slowly put his flask away in somewhat shame while Ruby and Yang snickered at him.

"Just as long as it isn't tragic or horrifying like the first one, I think I'll be okay." Pyrrha said to Nora who nodded with understanding. Whether it was fictional or not, they still couldn't get the image of Jaune turning into a murderous clown and exacting revenge on Beacon.

"Here we go!" Coco shouted with enthusiasm as the others quieted down, all wondering just what they were about to watch next.

Snow slightly glazed the street while the midnight sky held no stars amongst it. The only light illuminating the dreary street was a streetlight and a few lights at the entrance of the building. No snow fell and the night was as quiet as could be. That was until a car eased into a stop at the entrance of the building. As the car came to a halt, words began to appear at the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

Prague, Czech Republic

"What's the Czech Republic?" Nora asked out loud. The others said nothing due to not knowing the answer to the bomber's question.

"I was just wondering why it was black and white?" Yang then pointed out and Ozpin chuckled.

"From what we can see so far, I think the colorless filter adds to the mood." Ozpin stated and Velvet's ears flattened against her head.

"I have a bad feeling about this." she stated and Coco put an arm around her, attempting to comfort her to the best of her ability.

The sound of the car door opened and the camera jumped to the entrance of the establishment where Cardin Winchester was revealed. He was wearing a thick overcoat, along with a suit and tie. Another hint indicating that it was cold out was the hat atop his head, it was desined with fur, most likely to keep the warmth insulated. What stood out the most however, was his paranoid attitude. His eyes darted all around, indicating that he was examining his surroundings for someone or something that could cause him harm.

"Kid's in trouble." Qrow stated as he folded his arms. Summer, Glynda and Ozpin nodded at this while the students were surprised to see Cardin on the screen.

"I think the only time I've seen Cardin that scared was during the Ursa incident." Pyrrha stated while Weiss looked over to her.

"That was more hysterical than this." Weiss said, catching the champion's attention. "Ive seen this look on some of my father's business partners. He knows he's done something wrong and I'm pretty sure that whoever he made mad, knows what he did." Weiss ended her statement with her arms folded, not wanting to remember that part of her childhood.

"It's still weird to see him kind of older." Velvet said, allowing everyone to notice that her statement was true. He was older, possibly late twenties or thirties. It still didn't shy away from the paranoia he was emitting.

The camera jumped to a moment where Cardin still retained his anxious look while riding up an elevator with a glass wall. As the elevator doors opened, Cardin briskly made his way across the walkway that led him straight to his office. It was a very luxurious office to say the least. Masks and various paintings decorated the walls and the room even contained a bookcase that had a few books postured on it.

Cardin made his way across the room and turned on his desk lamp. Soon after he made his way towards the back corner of his office. While he did this however, the camera panned smoothly to the right and slightly showed a figure sitting in one of the reclining office chairs next to the glass table.

"Aaaaaand the kid's fucked." Summer smacked him upside the head as he said this due to the language. Despite everyone being old enough to know and say that word, she still had a problem with profanity. "Agh! Fine, fine." Qrow muttered as he massaged the back of his head.

"Despite Qrows profanity, I will have to agree with the current scenario that Mr. Winchester is facing at the moment." Ozpin said as he somewhat smirked at Qrow who was still rubbing the back of his head.

"Still makes you think why people are after him." Ren said while he and everyone else eyed the mystery person in the chair, wondering who it was.

Cardin made his way to the back corner but stopped in his tracks and his eyes slightly widened while the look on his face showed a vague but also clear look of shock. The camera switched to show a painting that was on hinges, opened up to reveal a safe full of documents written and typed altogether.

"G really doesn't mind you earning a little money on the side Cardin." The camera quickly panned to the left of Cardin's shoulder to reveal Jaune Arc dawning clothes that were completely black. The only parts that stood out from the shadow he was sitting in were his feet and his head. "She would just prefer it wasn't selling secrets." a hint of venom was apparent at the end of his sentence as he gave Cardin a casual and yet, cold look.

"Damn. Jaune's attitude has certainly changed." Coco stated as she lowered her sunglasses to get a better look of their friend on the screen.

"I certainly don't mind." Yang jokingly purred as she wiggled her eyebrows. This in turn earned her stern glances from Qrow, Summer, and Pyrrha. "Yeesh tough crowd." the brawler stated while scratching the back of her head.

"Well, we now know why Cardin was in trouble." Blake spoke up as she looked at Jaune on the screen. "I just want to know who this G person is that Jaune works for." Weiss nodded in agreement and soon after, everyone turned back to the screen.

Cardin's look of shock morphed into one of frustration as he sat down at his desk. As he sat down however, Cardin opened a drawer on the left side of his desk to reveal what appeared to be a loaded handgun.

"This isn't going to end well." Ren said calmly as the others were a little shocked at the revelation that the possibility of a fight was rising.

"This could be cowardice on some accounts." Glynda Goodwitch said with a stern look and folded arms. "Not surprising considering that Mr. Winchester thought he could get away with what he was doing." Ozpin nodded in agreement as she said this and soon turned his attention to the screen.

"Are the theatrics supposed to scare me? You have the wrong man Arc." Cardin said somewhat boastfully as he took off his gloves. "If G was so sure I was bent, she would have sent a Double-0" Cardin set his gloves off to the side and somewhat smirked with his snide remark while Jaune's expression was still neutral and a bit too calming.

"Double-0?" Summer asked to herself. Ruby heard this however and looked to her mother.

"Do you know what that means?" Ruby asked and summer but her thumb to her chin, thinking about what the title could mean.

"I would have to say it would be some sort of organization that is known for combat." Summer suggested to the others. "Considering the tone of what we're watching and the situation at hand that involves selling secrets from one organization or country to the other, I would have to say that it would be along those lines." Summer smiled at her daughter while Ruby's eyes widened slightly.

"That sounds really cool! I wonder if Double-0's are better than huntsmen and huntresses." The rose asked and Qrow chuckled.

"I doubt it pipsqueak." Qrow said soon after his fit of chuckling. "Did you see that gun? That thing couldn't take down a Creep let alone a Beowolf." Summer's eyes narrowed at her teammate's arrogance, but she soon grew a sly smile on her face.

"Oh, and gigantic scythe wielder that is obviously compensating for something is somehow better?" Qrow froze while the others had burst into a fit of laughter sans Weiss and Ruby who were either rolling their eyes or were somewhat confused on why that remark was funny.

"Whatever." Qrow grumbled as he looked back towards the screen while wishing he could take a massive swig from his flask without Summer saying anything about it.

"Benefits of section chief, I'd know if anyone had been promoted to a Double-0 status. Wouldn't I?" Cardin's matter of fact tone reinforced his false sense of security as he leaned back in his office chair slightly. He let out a slight huff of amusement and looked back to Jaune. "Your file shows no kills. And it takes-"

"Two." Jaune said as he interrupted Cardin. The scene abruptly changed to a bathroom that was somewhat blinding due to the white walls along with the black and white filter. What was even more shocking was that Jaune who was now in a suit without a tie, delivere a forward kick to a man's stomach who soon after, crashed through one of the stall doors.

"HOLY SHIT!" Yang exclaimed while everyone else was taken back but remained silent at the milesecond of brutality that they had just witnessed.

"That came out of nowhere." Ren stated and Nora looked to her partner.

"Didn't you hear Cardin?" she asked and now Pyrrha's attention was also focused on her teammate. "It takes two kills. This is probably his first." Nora's teammate's eyes widened as she said this and soon after continued watching.

Jaune delivered a straight to the man's face who was now revealed to be Russel Thrush. Blood gushed from his nose and Jaune went in to deliver another straight. Russel shifted his body to the side, against the wall and wrapped his arms around Jaune, attempting to put him into a hold. Jaune ducked under Russel's attempt and in turn, tackled his opponent through the stall wall, and continuing onward until they reached the end of the bathroom.

"Russel?!" Ruby asked somewhat bewildered at the man who was being somewhat beaten on screen.

"I guess this a world where those two really didn't get along." Ozpin assumed as he looked to Jaune's team who were all worried beyond belief.

"Considering how he and Cardin have been treating Velvet, I certainly don't mind this." Coco said with a grin on her face. Velvet on the other hand was somewhat horrified that she was seeing two people she somewhat knew viciously beat each other.

Once they hit the tile wall, Jaune saw an opening and turned his back just enough so he could elbow Russel directly to the face. Once his opponent was stunned, Jaune took this opportunity to grab one of the stall doors and slammed it into Russel's face, causing him to be stunned again. Despite this, Russel's grip hadn't faltered and the two crashed out of the stall and landing onto the floor. Jaune however quickly got up and delivered a kick to Russel's face. Russel recovered however and grasped a nearby trashcan, to which Jaune kicked aside.

"I kind of feel bad for Russel's face." Nora said somewhat jokingly and Coco snickered.

"I certainly don't." she said and Velvet became a little irritated, but the leader failed to notice.

"Despite that," Qrow said, trying to ease the tension a bit, "the kid knows how to fight." He chuckled a bit as he saw Pyrrha shrink in her seat slightly.

"Have you taught him to do things like that Pyrrha?" Blake asked somewhat concerned to find out that the bumbling knight that they all knew was capable of such brutality.

"W-well we did go over some self-defense basics and some hand to hand combat." Pyrrha said somewhat anxiously. "I did discover however, he seemed to have a talent for it. Much more than his sword and shield." The others nodded and Coco snickered at this.

"I certainly don't mind a man who's talented with his hands." the fashionista's remark caused Velvet and Pyrrha to blush immensely and also caused Summer to give her a disapproving glare.

The scene of the bathroom cut back to the scene at the office and with quick action, Cardin drew his pistol and aimed it at Jaune who remained unfazed by this. in a certain light, it looked like Jaune was smirking just a bit.

"It's a shame really." Cardin said as he had a sneer on his face. "We barely got to know each other." as he said this he pulled the trigger.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha gasped as she saw this happening. The others were worried as well but didn't voice their opinions. Even Weiss was a little worried for the blonde as he just sat there, waiting for the bullet to pierce him.

*Click*

A look of horror slowly crept onto Cardin's face as he realized that the gun was empty. As Cardin slowly set his gun down, Jaune reached into his pocket and pulled out a magazine clip, housing seven bullets. His face was passive and unreadable as he showed Cardin this.

"I know where you keep your gun." Jaune replied with a hint of satisfaction in his voice. "So that's something." As soon as he said this, a smirk gradually showed at the edge of his lips.

"True." Cardin replied as his face grew a subtle but angry expression.

"Wow." Nora said, still wide eyed not by the risk of Jaune dying, but how many steps ahead he was of Cardin.

"That was certainly wise on Mr. Arc's part." Ozpin commented, but noticed the look of worry growing on Summer's face. "Is something wrong Summer?" the person in question nodded.

"What's going to happen now?" she asked and a feeling of dread seeped into everyone, not liking what they believed was going to happen next.

"How did he die?" Cardin asked as the anger slightly subsided.

"Your contact?" Jaune asked and the screen showed Cardin nodding in response. The camera jumped back to Jaune who's smirk disappeared and was back to a flat expression. "Not well." he replied and the scene jumped back to the bathroom where Jaune threw Russel against one of the bathroom mirrors. Russel's head smashed against the mirror and he fell to the ground, but not before crashing through one of the sinks first.

"Sweet Oum." Blake muttered as they witnessed the violence in front of them. "Aura or no aura, he has the potential to be a monster in combat." Pyrrha shuddered in response to this.

"I'll be sure not to teach him to do anything lethal if we ever get there." the champion soon said and everyone agreed to sans Ozpin. Pyrrha's statement made the headmaster a bit conflicted. Yes, what Jaune was displaying was a bit brutal, but perhaps it could be hidden potential that he would be missing out on. He was about to retort but decided not to dwell on it.

Jaune took this opportunity to use the button-down shirt that Russel was wearing and tightly wrapped one of the edges around Russel's neck. As Russel was struggling to break free of the hold he was in, Jaune dragged his sprawled body to a nearby sink that was overflowing with water and attempted to shove his head into the sink. Russel had other plans as he desperately struggled to be free of Jaune's grasp while letting out cries of suffocation and pain. He even used those moments of desperation to grab a nearby pistol that was disarmed during their skirmish and was now next to them. Russel grasped the gun and attempted to aim it at Jaune. The blonde noticed this at the right moment and pushed Russel's arm away from him as the gun went off, taking a chunk out of the sink next to them. Jaune then grasped Russel's wrist and smashed it against the mirror, causing Russel to let go of the pistol. With his full weight now in control, Jaune pressed down on Russel's head, further into the sink. A few moments passed and desperate gargles could be heard from him as he still tried to struggle.

"By the gods." Glynda muttered as they were all watching their friend and student slowly drown one of their not so fellow students.

"This is getting a little too brutal for my tastes." Yang said as she leaned back further in her chair and feeling uncomfortable at the calm but struggling expression Jaune was displaying for them all.

"Stone cold." Qrow said quietly as he looked on. "Can't tell if that's a benefit to us or a threat." Ozpin and Goodwitch looked at him with understanding.

"Agreed." the two of them said as they looked back to Jaune.

"Jaune." Pyrrha said softly as a look of fear was written across her face. Despite looking exactly like him and having the same name, that was not the Jaune that she knew and deeply cared about. This Jaune was cold and brutal, he didn't care what happened as long as the job was done. In those moments where she witnessed her partner and friend slowly drown Russel, she promised to do whatever she could so that this Jaune would never happen to her reality.

Russel's gargled cries of struggle soon escalated, but Jaune pressed on. after a few more moments of thrashing and struggling, Russel's body went limp and he fell to the floor. As this happened, the room went silent sans the running water and showed Jaune taking in deep breaths as he looked at Russel's corpse.

The scene changed once again to Cardin sitting in his office with a hint distain and sorrow on his face. "Made you feel it, huh?" Cardin asked somberly. Jaune gave no answer and Cardin took a quick breath of reassurance. "Well, no worries. The second is-" Before Cardin could continue, Jaune drew a silenced pistol and aimed it right at Cardin. Without hesitation, Jaune pulled the trigger and the bullet ripped through Cardin's head. As Cardin's body fell to the floor, he knocked aside a photo of him with a woman and a child, his wife and child.

"Yes." Jaune said as he held his pistol while looking at Cardin's corpse. "Considerably." Jaune holstered his weapon and got out of the chair.

No one said anything as they saw Jaune's actions. They were all stunned as to how cold and quick he acted, despite his target having a family of his own, it didn't stop Jaune from putting a bullet in his head.

"Guess that makes two." Nora said softly as she grasped Ren's arm with a tight grip. Ren looked to her and he saw an unholy amount of sadness emitting from his partner and he could understand where she was coming from. Jaune was the closest thing the two had to family and to see who they consider a brother mercilessly gun down another man was chilling to even think about. Ren looked to Pyrrha and saw a hint of resolve in her eyes, most likely promising herself to do whatever she could to make this Jaune not a reality to them and he couldn't help but make that promise as well.

The scene jumped back to the bathroom however, Showing Jaune's tired form pick up another pistol that was on the opposite side of the bathroom where Russel's body was laying down at. In those moments as Jaune picked up the gun, Russel got up from his prone position and grasped the pistol at his side, letting out a yell while aiming it at Jaune.

"Holy shit!" Yang said as she and Ruby jumped back a bit in their seats. Everyone was shocked and worried for the safety of their friend.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha, Nora and Ren shouted in fear of their friend, but their eyes widened and their mouths went agape as they saw what happened next.

In an instant, Jaune turned around, pistol in hand and let off a single shot. A look of cold determination in his eyes as his stance was broad but wide. But despite those qualities, the somewhat calculating and yet merciless expression that was expressed on his face was the one quality that defined him as cold blooded.

The room was silent as the video came to an end and no one dared to speak up. They had nothing to say. What could they say, the past videos showed Jaune kill people, but at least he showed emotion, whether it be extreme or nonchalant. This was brutality incarnate and only one thing was going through their minds. The thought that they never wanted to see this Jaune ever again.
