*POV: Third Person*
~Sanus, Vale, Vale City, Beacon Academy~
((Time: 6 Months after cannon. Episode 15 and 16. A week before school Fall break.))
{{AN: I figured that Beacon would have Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring break. Considering most schools start late Summer early Fall i will say that Beacon's initiation starts September 3rd or somewhere in September like most schools in the USA. Anyways i think this because Ruby in episode 1 of Volume 2 says its The Second Semester's start meaning that First Semester obviously ended, Fall Break happened, and Fall Break ended. With this in mind im going to say that 15 and 16 take place right before First Semester's end.}}
It had been a peaceful couple of weeks after the whole CRDL incident. Speaking of the bullies all four the young men had stopped their antics. Well physical antics at the least. They were all definitely still racist and made fun of people, but they never went out of their way to hurt someone like they were doing before.
Since the incident ended Jaune got closer with Pyrrha, Ruby, Weiss, Velvet, Coco Adel, and Yang.
The Arc Demi-God using his time with Ruby to get her to help him with upgrading his Gauntlets and Greaves. He melting down Corcea Mors' Sword and Shield as well as The Gauntlets and Greaves. Once the metals were melted down the two would combine them together into a redesigned pair of Gauntlets and Greaves. While they looked the same as Asura's weapons they now were much stronger than before and had added white, silver, and yellow coloring in the Godly Metal Asura used for his weapons. Of course this was not all what Jaune and Ruby did. They would go out hunting Grimm in the Emerald Forest together, go out into Vale for Cookies, play video games, read comics, and go out into Vale for Strawberry milkshakes. They spending a good amount of time together and enjoying themselves immensely.
Jaune's time with Pyrrha was much different than with Ruby's. In fact if the young multi hair colored male had to compare their time together he would call Pyrrha a mix of Yang, Ruby, and Velvet. The red headed spartan like Ruby in the way that Pyrrha loved to just spend time with him and do casual things together, however much like Yang and Velvet the Nikos would love to spar with him like Yang and was extremely shy like Velvet.
Speaking of Yang and Velvet, Yang's time with Jaune had her dragging him to Juniors to dance club, massaging her, them sparring, them hunting Grimm, they playing video games, and they just relaxing together. As for the bunny girl? Velvet was as Jaune said before was extremely shy. The faunus and the Demi-God just hanging out together normally, reading, playing games, and just walking around Vale together.
Coco and Weiss were the most unique girls to hang out with.
With Coco the brown haired young woman dragged him out shopping, teased him by wearing revealing/sexy clothing, had him carry her bags, spared with her, hunted Grimm with her, read books with her, massaging her, and just generally hung out with her. He and Coco actually got along really well after Velvet introduced them together and made sure that the Adel knew he had rescued the Rabbit Faunus from Cardin and his crew.
Finally was the time he had spent with Weiss. As Jaune and the white haired girl spent time together they actually had a lot in common. They spending their time singing together, dancing, hunting Grimm, Sparring, reading books together, studying together, talking about Dust, generally just hanging out, getting to know one another better, he listening to her troubles, and even he massaging her.
During this time Jaune would realize just how good he was at noticing things. His previous life as the warriors Yasha and Asura as well as the Commander Deus he was prone to being extremely vigilant. For instance he knew for a fact that Ruby, Pyrrha, Weiss, Coco, Velvet, Yang, and possibly Blake had feelings for him. Speaking of the Belladonna he was curious about her behavior towards the faunus as well as why she seemed to have so many cat like qualities.
The first thing he noticed was her cat like eyes before then noticing the suspicious shape of her bow. He realized pretty quickly the fact that Blake was a cat faunus. Being curious the young blond haired man decided to corner her away from their friends and in a private place. Once they were in a secluded area he stared into her eyes and said "Blake we have been friends for a while now and have grown close. So when i say this you know I won't tell any one about it. I know that your a faunus and before you do something crazy Blake for one thing you look exactly like the ex-white fangs leader Ghira Belladonna's wife Kali Belladonna so you hurt yourself by not getting a fake last name, also you have cat like eyes, have cat like qualities, and your bow is in the shape of cat ears." as he then waited for her response.
Jaune was smart enough to get her cornered in a dead end so that his body blocked any chance of her exiting. His arms at his sides and ready to launch out in order to grab her incase she made a run for it.
Blake looked pale as she looked back into his eyes and said "Well yes Jaune you are correct about us being friends and close as well as the fact that I obviously have not covered my tracks well." before she then said "Please dont tell anyone. I don't want to be judged by what i am and instead be judged by who I am." as she then waited for his response.
The Arc frowned at her and said "Well Blake I will not tell anyone, but you have to realize that you can't hide this forever correct? You will be spending four years with your team and they are bound to figure it out too. Also the longer you wait to tell them the more damage you will do to their trust in you. They will only start seeing you as your fake persona and not as Blake Belladonna Faunus woman and basically princess of Menagerie." as he then scoffed and began walking away from her. He did not like how she hid herself from her team or other friends. Jaune knew for a fact that the only one who would have a problem with Blake's heritage was Weiss and he doubted the Schnee would blame Blake for something only a few members of her race did.
Anyways besides spending time with the girls The Arc Demi-God made sure to train with all of the abilities and powers he had received from Asura, Yasha, and Deus.
He going into the Emerald Forest alone at times in order to train and to keep his true potential a secret for now. Because of the long time Jaune trained with his new powers and abilities he would gain as well as master Asura's Wrath Mode, Multi Arm Mode, and Beast mode. Jaune also mastering Yasha's energy as well as Deus' lightning. The only thing interesting that came from his training besides his new powers and abilities was the fact that Jaune discovered he could absorb energy from the Grimm much like how Asura could absorb energy from the Goma. This allowed for him to grow more powerful, stronger, faster, more durable, and get more stamina.
There were multiple good reasons for Jaune to train himself and gain control over his Mantra as well as the Mantra of Asura, Deus, and Yasha. These reasons were simple: One reason being that the Vytal Festival was coming up soon and he wanted to make sure that he was trained enough to hold back in his fights. The second reason was the fact that the Arc Demi-God could sense a fractured soul underneath Ozpin's tower meaning that there was definitely Magic and or Gods involved. If Jaune was going to possibly fight a God much like how Asura fought Chakravartin then the young multi hair colored man wanted to be as strong as possible. Killing an Immortal was no easy task after all. It would take alot of his energy and rage to kill any God involved in this. The third reason was because he wanted to be as strong as he could be. Why not be the best he could possibly ever be and push his new body as well as his abilities to their limits and beyond? The fourth and final reason was because he wanted to make sure he was powerful enough to protect those he cared about.
With the Vytal Festival approaching soon the government of Vale would begin to decorate the city preparing it for the arrivals of the foreign students, officials, and people. Because of the preparations and decorations Team RWBY wanted to go into Vale and look around the city. Due to Jaune's closeness to the girls of RWBY the Arc Demi-God would be invited to join them. Deciding to go along with the girls and take his team JNPR as well as Team CFVY with him the group of twelve would all walk together down the streets of Vale.
As the four men and eight women talked they would make their way to where the docks would be due to the fact that Weiss wanted to spy on foreign students because of the Vytal Tournament. While they looked around for any foreign students they would discover a robbed dust store where all of the dust had been stolen leaving behind just the money. The detectives at the scene of the crime talked about the possibility of The White Fang being the ones responsible for the dust theft and over hearing that sparked an argument between Weiss and Blake.
Jaune meanwhile looked at the detectives and growled while saying "You idiots! Aren't you detectives? Why not check the stores camera's? Or Investigate for any witnesses? Or maybe use the street light cameras? Or maybe even ask the store owner to see if he was inside while it happened? Maybe if you did your jobs you would get a raise." as he then gestured to the stores camera and the camera outside across the street on the light post. The detectives had the decency to look sheepish before then the first one said "Kids got good idea's. I'll check the footage from the light post camera and you check the footage from the stores camera. Then we will launch an investigation for any witnesses as well as question the owner." causing the second detective to nod and go into the store while the first went to the camera across the street.
As the detectives began actually doing their jobs Jaune smirked lightly and crossed his arms over his chest only then to notice that all of his friends were looking at him. Weiss and Blake's argument dying due to the fact that the multi haired colored young man had one upped the detectives. The Arc then frowned and asked "What? Its common sense. Those two should have been able to think of it too. Besides it should not be the White Fang. They usually target some racist people and from what i know from my time in the city this was a Faunus owned and run shop. Im thinking its that criminal Roman Torchwick. The same guy you told me you fought Ruby." as he then waited for their responses.
His seven friends nodded to his claim as well as his reasoning. Ruby then saying "Your right it must have been Torchwick. He did escape from me and Ms. Goodwitch after all." as then they all began to think on what they should do. Weiss in response to what Ruby said would still bring up the fact that there was a possibility that the White Fang could have done this. Her negative opinion of The White Fang made her accidentally say some nasty things about the Faunus as a whole.
Coco, Jaune, Blake, and Velvet would jump to defend the Faunus race pointing out the fact that just because some Faunus were bad for joining The White Fang that it didn't give Weiss the right to throw all the Faunus into the same bucket. Velvet being a key example since she was a second year Huntress in training. Jaune's statement was similar of that to Coco's and using Velvet as the prime example as a good Faunus. Weiss would of course agree with Coco and Jaune since she had a positive relationship with Velvet and she even apologizing to Velvet to which the rabbit Faunus said in return that she understood that Weiss would be mad at the Faunus due to the fact that The White Fang had targeted and attacked the Schnee's family as well as the company.
Because of Velvet's kind nature and understanding Weiss felt even more guiltier than she already did and promised the rabbit faunus that she would do her best to not treat the faunus badly from now on and to gather information about them before judging their character. This caused Jaune, Blake, and Velvet to smile at the Schnee. All three of the young adults telling Weiss that they were proud of her decision to be a better person. Coco, Yang, Ruby, Nora, Ren, Pyrrha, Fox, and Yatushi all voicing their agreement with the other three of their friends and making sure that Weiss felt better about her choice to have a new outlook on the Faunus.
The gang of twelve then all heard from some one "Hey! Some one stop that Faunus!" as then they all turned to look to see a blond male monkey faunus escape from a boat and leap onto a near by lamp post. Two near by security workers for the dock went up to the faunus and said "Hey! You! Your under arrest for being an illegal stowaway!" as then they pulled out their guns and aimed at the boy. The monkey faunus smirked at them and used his tail to hang down from the light post. He dropping a banana onto on of their faces to obscure their aim as he then dropped down onto the ground and began running towards the buildings where Team RWBY, CFVY, and JNPR were.
As the monkey faunus neared the group of twelve he looked at all of them while slowing down slightly and winking at Blake. Unfortunately for him he didn't notice the large golden gauntlet covered arm now in his path and was close-lined at the neck. Jaune then took advantage of the criminal's knocked down state and placed his boot covered foot down onto the faunus' chest and kept him pinned down. The Arc then pointing his fist at the boy's face and allowing the knuckles to glow with his purple Aura. Miniature sparks of purple lightning coming off from the metal before it then leaped towards the criminal's face and electrocuted him. The faunus crying out in pain and being knocked out.
Once Jaune was sure the criminal was knocked out he stopped his lightning attack and moved his foot off the boys chest and back onto the ground. The Arc then reached down and pulled up the unconscious body. As the security workers came over and then thanked him the Arc gave them the faunus' knocked out body and told them it was no problem.
After the security workers left with the knocked out criminal Jaune crossed his arms back over his chest once more and smirked slightly. He then noticed that all twelve of his friends were looking at him although it looked like Blake was a bit mad. He glared back at her and frowned at all of them before he said "What?! He was a criminal. Did you expect me to allow him to escape? He broke the law." as he then waited for their response.
All of them looked down at themselves a bit ashamed they were looking at their friend as if he was the bad guy. Although with Blake she was a bit more worried for herself since he knew her secret still and would most likely figure out her other one too. After they had apologized and Jaune had calmed down they all began walking into the city once more.
Unfortunately for Weiss she would accidentally run into someone and knock both herself and the person down onto the ground. Because of this the group would stop and look at Weiss in concern. When the group finally let Weiss know she was laying on top of someone that she knocked down the white themed girl would immediately get up and join her group of friends. The person Weiss knocked down turned out to be an orange haired girl with pale skin, green eyes, freckles, and was wearing a beige and brown shirt with green highlights, black pants with green highlights, and black shoes.
The girl had fallen over onto the ground because of the collusion and decided to stay laying down there. As Jaune looked at her he got a weird and disturbing sense from her. Due to his Demi-god status from absorbing Asura, Deus, and Yasha he could sense Mantra/Aura/the Soul passively or actively if he concentrated on the feeling. So he concentrated on the feeling he got from the girl and was left shocked at what he felt and saw. With his eyes enhanced with Divine Mantra he could confirm what he felt from the orange haired girl.
The feeling he got from her soul was unnatural. It felt as if it was created, man-made, cold like metal, and lacked what truly made a soul. It also felt like it was a bunch of Aura's combined into one. All frankensteined together into a one being. The sight he saw was even worse it was a green energy lines all inside her body looking like tubes and all connecting to one large source in the middle of her body. The source looked like a Mantra reactor core, but it was obviously designed for Aura in mind. However the source itself looked like a prison. The energy seemed to be erratic and desperate. It looked to be in visible pain through the prison's tight bars.
This meant that without a doubt the orange haired girl was an Android and the fact that someone could do all of this made him ANGRY.
Jaune's eyes glowed and turned white. They burning brightly with RAGE as he stared down at the Android named Penny. He tried his best to keep his anger under wraps, but he had Asura's WRATH inside of him after all. It was extremely difficult to keep calm or have control. Thankfully he was able not to snap on the young female humanoid robot. It was not her fault for being made so he wouldn't allow himself to harm the innocent creation. He clenched his hands tightly into fists making his knuckles turn white and causing his finger nails to dig into his palms.
Unfortunately for the multi color haired boy his eyes remained their current burning bright white for while he was a bit more calmer in order not to lash out he was still livid over the fact that Atlas would go this far. It was obviously Atlas as they were the only people capable of building an Android that can harness Aura and have a smart A.I. implanted into it. So he at least an outlet for all of his anger to go towards instead of letting it all out at Penny who didn't deserve his fists. Instead the honor of being introduced to his fists belonged to two people: James Ironwood and whoever made Penny.
As Jaune managed to calm himself down Yang would ask the person Weiss knocked down if she was alright causing the ginger haired girl to reply that Yes she was indeed fine. This caused Yang to ask her then if she was ok why hasn't she got up off the ground yet making the ginger fall silent as she thought for a moment and then jumped up to her feet. Once she was on her feet the ginger would introduce herself as Penny. This lead to Team's RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY to introduce themselves in return. From there the group of twelve would ask Penny where she was from which then lead to Yang mentioning that they were curious if she was a foreign student here for the Vytal Festival's Tournament. Because of Yang's question Penny would indeed tell her that she was going to participate in the fighting and that she was "Combat Ready" leading to the group of twelve to question to themselves if the ginger was actually someone who they would end up fighting.
Deciding not to show their doubts since that would be rude they would wish Penny farewell and Ruby saying to her "See you later friend." and as the group went to leave not even two seconds of walking later Penny somehow appeared in front of them and asked Ruby if she really did think of herself as Ruby's friend. This caused Ruby to look at the gang for help. The rest of Team RWBY to rapidly shake their heads no, NPR just shrugged as if saying it was up to her, CFVY and Jaune would shake their heads yes seeing how desperate Penny was for a friend.
Because of Ruby's kind nature she would agree with CFVY and Jaune's answer by telling Penny that she Ruby Rose was indeed the gingers friend causing Penny to squeal and hug the dark red headed girl. Due to the fact that Ruby made a friend in Penny the ginger would join their group making their twelve go to thirteen. With the new member in the gang the now nine girls and four boys would begin walking together all throughout Vale. They all just talking to one another and getting to know the newest member of their group as they hung out.
Eventually Penny would leave the group as RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY had to head back to Beacon. Each of the teams going to their respective dorm rooms.
Unfortunately for Team RWBY once they were alone in their room Weiss and Blake would somehow restart their argument involving Faunus and The White Fang from before. This causing Blake to reveal her faunus heritage and her past affiliation with The White Fang. Fear filling the cat faunus' body the Belladonna would run out the dorm and out of Beacon. She running into Vale in order to try and prove the innocence of The White Fang.
The next morning Ruby, Weiss, and Yang would recruit Jaune, Nora, Ren, Pyrrha, Coco, Velvet, Fox, and Yatushi to help them find Blake. The group of eleven venturing out into Vale. After a while of searching for Blake with Weiss both feeling guilty as well as slightly scared since she didn't know if the black themed girl was actually her friend or not. The group would run into Penny during their search for Blake. The ginger haired girl asking them whats wrong making the eleven reveal they were looking for Blake because she ran away causing Penny to ask if they meant the cat faunus girl. This lead to a revelation about why Blake liked certain things such as Fish and acted like a cat some times.
Anyways once the group confirmed that Blake was indeed the cat faunus they were looking for Penny would join them in the search for the girl. As they looked around Vale they would feel, see, and hear an explosion coming from the docks. This caused the twelve to rush over to the docks. Once they arrived they would see Blake fighting Roman Torchwick and The White Fang. Because of the large dust containers at the docks it was obvious what exactly the man and the terrorist organization were doing here.
This caused the group to join in the fight. Team RWBY getting back together and beginning to battle Roman as well as a few of The White Fang Goon's he had near him, Team JNPR dealing with the majority of the White Fang Goon's, and Penny along with CFVY dealing with the Bullhead's.
Because of Team RWBY's team work the group of four were able to easily defeat and capture Roman as well as The White Fang Goon's he had with him. Team JNPR due to their own team work were also easily able to defeat and capture the large amount of White Fang Goon's they face. Team CFVY and Penny being a second year team of Beacon and secret over powered robot girl respectively were easily able to handle the Bullhead's piloted by The White Fang. The group of five easily bringing the vehicles back down to the ground or blowing them up.
Once the fighting over soon the police would arrive. The police arresting Roman and The White Fang Goon's. With the man being driven away to jail along with the White Fang Goon's allowing for the group of thirteen to celebrate. Once they were done celebrating Penny would leave to go do her own thing while Team's RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY would go back to Beacon.
Of course as soon as all of them set foot back into Beacon the notorious Glynda Goodwitch and infamous Ozpin would be there waiting for them. The Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress questioning the group of twelve about their presence at the docks. This caused Team RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY to tell the two that they wanted to investigate the recent robberies of dust stores in Vale and found out that a large shipment of dust would be coming to the docks. The group of twelve would then explain that since they knew about the dust shipment that meant that the thieves of the recent robberies would also know about it. The Teams then went on to say that they investigated the docks because of this thought process which lead to a battle between them and The White Fang as well as their apparent leader Roman Torchwick.
Once the group was done telling their story Glynda and Ozpin would look at one another and have a silent conversation before then looking at the group. The two would compliment the Team's on their initiative as well as their fighting ability before then repremending them for not going to the proper authorities. Ozpin telling the group that he would let this incident slide this time, but the next time they decide to go off fighting that they should at least tell him first.
With the conversation over Ozpin would tell them to go back to their dorms and prepare for the upcoming Fall Break. This caused the group of twelve to nod and split up. Team RWBY, Team JNPR, and Team CFVY each going to their own dorms and beginning to pack up their things for Fall Break. As they did this Ozpin and Glynda would go up to Ozpin's office and message James as well as Qrow. Inside the messages Ozpin would tell his two allies that Salem most likely had her agents in Vale and that it was time for them all to meet up and discuss the defending of the city during the Vtyal Festival and Tournament.
After the messages were sent Ozpin and Glynda both decided to interogate Roman Torchwick in Vale's jail. The two making their way to the city and soon entering the building. Once inside they would go to Roman's cell and make him come with them to an interrogation room. With the thief in the interrogation room Ozpin and Glynda would begin questioning the man's motives and trying to figure out if he was working with someone. Roman did his best to lie his ass off, but Ozpin was not called The Strongest Man in The World for no reason. The Headmaster of Beacon easily seeing through Torchwick's bullshit and accusing everything he was saying as a lie. From that point forwards Glynda and Ozpin assumed the worst and began interrogating him about Salem.
This caused Roman to think they knew about Cinder since they used female pronouns. Torchwick deciding to cut his losses told Ozpin and Glynda about Cinder Fall, her powers, and her allies. With an in depth description about Cinder's powers and the two people namedL Emerald and Mercury that she worked with. Thanks to this information Ozpin and Glynda would figure out that Cinder was the Fall Maiden's attacker and that Emerald as well as Mercury were her accomplices. Because of their shadow war with Salem they would guess that Cinder most likely worked with The Queen of The Grimm.
Ozpin deciding to be a smart person offered Roman a deal: Tell him where Cinder's hideout was and Roman could go free. The Headmaster even offering Roman the chance to get back at Cinder by attacking her with him. It was clear that Ozpin was planning a situation in which He, Glynda, Roman, James, and Qrow could fight Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald.
This lead to Torchwick offering his partner Neo's help as well. The thief describing Neo's semblance and her skill set as an Assassin. This lead to Ozpin to think about what would happen if Neo was involved. If Cinder died and thought of Neo or even her companion Emerald would the fractured part of The Fall Maiden's Soul and Magic go to one of the two women? Or would it return to Amber? He didn't know for sure so he told Roman that if Neo could deliver a stealth attack on Cinder good enough that Cinder couldn't even think about her then Neo could join them.
Ozpin said this because he had a plan to take out Emerald before Cinder so that the woman could not think about her and grant her the Fall Maiden's power. The Headmaster wanting to come up with a good enough plan that allowed for Amber to get her power back and possibly heal herself. So with hope in Ozpin's heart he and Glynda made the deal with Roman Torchwick for the location of Cinder Fall, Emerald, and Mercury in exchange for the thief's freedom as well as the opportunity to allow the man and his partner Neo to join them in on Ozpin's plan to attack the woman and her two allies.
