Hello there folks! I'm here again with a new history just to past the time and keep practicing my English this quarentine. I really hope you like this history it has been on my mind for a while so yeah hope you like it.
Honestly I don't know why I'm writing this A/N I don't think I will ever post this, but if I do well…. Yeah who knows?
As always sorry for my grammar and enjoy!
He was sprinting through the middle of the destroyed city passing through burning and collapsed buildings, the corpses of the citizens laying on the street where he was running, he was breathing hard, he was exhausted, after all he was escaping from a monster, he couldn't see it but he could feel it, it was close and every step he took the monster was two steps closer
He ran through the entire city reaching the gates that lead to the forest, at this point he could hear his metallic steps getting closer and closer, using all the strength that his legs could muster he ran across the forest and reached the lake ,a dead end, he could feel it now he was practically breathing onto his neck, he used all the will power in him and fearfully turned around ready to accept his fate against that monster but when he opened his eyes there was nothing behind him, with a long sigh he collapsed to his knees crying of fear he turned to the river to wash his face from the ashes and grime, but there in his reflection he saw it, its Green flaming eyes inside a black helmet that only mean one thing... Death.
Jaune woke up gasping for air, with cold sweat running across his body "it was just a dream, another nightmare" he looked at his side and saw his clock and shook his head "Better start the day early again I guess" he said to himself well knowing he will not get to sleep again.
-Signal academy-
"Jaune Arc! You're up kid!" called Taiyang Xiao Long the combat class professor. Blonde hair, blue eyes, a little stubble and a tribal tattoo in his right arm where the most notorious aspects of the teacher giving him the look of a very rude and stern man.
Jaune Arc blonde, blue eyes, not muscular or bulky but in a good shape the result of 2 years in signal academy and other 3 years training with his mother, if someone has to say something that describes Jaune Arc was…. average. His battle records weren't the best but neither were bad, he was easy in the middle of his class so yeah he was pretty much average. But something everyone knew about Jaune Arc was he never said no to a fight, he always wanted to fight against his fellow classmates, not that he was a crazy battle maniac like other students, but because he always wanted learn new tricks, test his limits, and try to surpass them.
But today something was different in Jaune, he seemed nervous and jumpy like something or someone will jump out of the shadows to attack him, it was very weird to his fellow classmates because while Jaune wasn't a social miracle he was almost always smiling his dopey smile at everyone, now he seemed scared. But what he said to the teacher gave all in the room the impression that something was wrong.
"Mr. Xiao Long emm can skip the battle today i really don't want to fight today" Jaune said with a hit of distress in his voice
"Well that is rare coming from you Jaune, do you feel sick or something do you want to go to the infirmary?" the teacher asked with a little frown in his face
"It's not like i feel sick but-"Jaune started just to the teacher cut him of
"If that's the case come to the arena Jaune it's been a week since your last fight and i really need you to have one more fight to grade you for this semester" the teacher remarked
With a sigh Jaune just nodded and went to the lockers to put on his battle attire that consisted in a white chest plate and pauldrons, a pair of leather gloves with metal knuckles and greaves. After dressing up Jaune took his weapon "umbra" a massive black claymore with a wide blade that holds sockets to put vials of dust and in the pommel of the sword a socket for a dust crystal.
He put his weapon on his back and sighed then looked at the little mirror in the locker staring at his reflection he whispered "It was just a bad dream, you're Jaune Arc no matter what you have to follow your path… nor curse or destiny will change that you'll be a huntsman, a hero" He said the last part with fear, it was his dream, a little childish but it was everything he ever wanted, be someone that the people will see and feel safe, proud and in peace, a Beacon of hope for the people. Jaune turned back and headed to the arena.
Taiyang waited in the middle of the arena for the students to appear he was thinking that something was odd with the Arc kid, he never refused a fight before, he never asked to be put in one like his daughter, but when he called his name he jumped to action ready for battle, at first the teacher thought that the kid was sick or something but no he simply seemed … unwilling to fight like if something bad will happen if he fight.
His train of though was cut with the arrival of the two students at his right Jaune Arc with his massive sword in his back at his left Zack Brant with his twin axes. Zack was a stubborn, prideful and foul mouthed kid, he liked to look at the others like they were below him and he never accepted an advice in the defeat. Taiyang sighed the kid was barely above the middle in the ranking of the class but his foul attitude and pride were something hard to change and in Taiyang opinion a very bad aspects to have for someone wanting to be a huntsman.
"So you knew you will fight me or why you were so afraid Arc?" Jaune didn't even responded to him, he knew Zack liked to talk to try to mess with his opponents and make them make mistakes. "What? So afraid that you can't even talk?" he smirked seeing that Jaune didn't answer "Don't worry Arc i will make this as quickly and painful as possible"
"That doesn't even make sense" thought Jaune releasing a big sigh
"Are you ready?" the teacher asked and both boys nodded readying their weapons "Begin!"
At the moment the teacher said the word both students clashed in the middle of the arena Jaune pushing his sword against the axes of Zack, Zack sensing the massive weight of the sword being pushed against him kicked Jaune in the gut to make room between them. Then he ran against Jaune firing the gun mechanism on the handles of the axes. Jaune blocked all the shots with the wide of his sword and ducked under de axe that Zack throw against him. Oh how he hated that pair of hybrid axes between a gun an axe and a freaking kusarigama. Before Zack could recover his axe Jaune grabbed the chain and pulled it making Zack lose his balance. Jaune took his chance and with the pommel of his sword hit Zack hard in the face then kicked him right in the middle of his chest launching him few meters away.
"You broke my nose you bastard!" Zack shouted while holding his nose trying to stop the bleeding "Forget about making it quickly you're going to suffer!" he grabbed the chains of his axes and started to use them like a whip to attack Jaune.
Jaune started to dodge but it was hard he moved his chained axes very fast and every now and then he used the gun too, he started to get some hits on the knight. "I really need to do something or I'll be doomed" then Jaune used his aura to make the green wind dust in the pommel of his sword activate, when he felt that the power of the dust was covering his sword he throw a slash of wind that took his opponent by surprise then he slashed three more times all hitting in the dead center in Zack that fell to his knees.
"The fight is over Zack's aura dipped in the red while Jaune's aura is in yellow" Taiyang said to the fighters.
"Fucking bastard" Zack muttered gripping his chest where the slashes of wind hit him and his nose that didn't stop bleeding "You must think that you're so good eh! I will make you pay Arc" Zack said being the sore loser he was. Jaune just shrugged and started to leave but then Zack made a mistake and while the professor was busy taking notes in his scroll Zack dashed and slashed with his axes in the back of Jaune that fell on his knees and give a cry of pain. Even with his remaining aura, Jaune was relaxed and when the slashes make contact with his back one of them actually cut across his skin. All the other students gasped and two of the friends of Jaune started to run to his side.
"ZACK BRANT WHAT THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU'RE DO-"Taiyang roared ignoring the fact that he cursed in the school but was cut by a sudden burst of aura that came from Jaune. Everyone was wide eyed looking at the almost instantly healed back of the blonde knight and the burst of aura coming from him, nobody seems to notice that the aura emanating from Jaune was different from
His normal white aura, this time his aura was pitch black.
Jaune got up and turned to his attacker that was completely shocked. Then the normally calm and kind Jaune grabbed him by the neck and lifted him "You fucking coward attacking from behind when the match is over" Jaune said with a cold voice then started to tight the grip in the neck of the kid that was struggling to breath. This seems to draw the teacher of his shocked state he ran trying to break Jaune's grip on the kid, but to his shock he couldn't even move a little the arm of Jaune.
"JAUNE LET GO! JAUNE! JAUNE!" the teacher yelled practically in the ear of the blonde while trying and failing to open make Jaune drop Zack, that seemed to make Jaune recover his senses and shook his head then looked at his hand and his eyes widened in horror drooping the now unconscious Zack to the floor, he started walking backwards at the exit of the arena.
"No… please no…" the voice from Jaune came out like a whisper then he turned and ran out of the arena. Taiyang was about to stop him but he needed to take the Brant kid to the infirmary.
"What in the heavens was that" was all that was in the mind of the teacher.
Jaune was running like a madman trying to get out of the school "I need to talk to Grandpa he'll know what i can do, oh god please, please! This can't be happening to me" he muttered to himself, suddenly he bumped in to someone that he really did not want to see.
"HEY! Watch it!" said the beautiful fifteen years old girl with a long blonde hair and a beautiful pair of lilac eyes Yang Xiao Long. For Jaune she was an acquaintance, but she was a good friend some of Jaune friends, the relationship between Jaune and Yang was easy to describe, whenever she decided to go to the table where he and his friends were sitting she will tease him and he will blush and stutter like an idiot, it was a nice and healthy relationship oh and the puns!
"Sorry Yang seriously but i need to go" Jaune got up and tried to start running again just to being stopped by Yang grabbing his arm.
"Hey wait a minute where are you going there is two more hours of school" she smirked at him "Don't tell me that Jaune Arc it's going to skip classes, i never took you for a bad boy type" Yang said with a teasing smile
"Yang please I'm begging you i need to leave now!" the fear and sorrow in the face of Jaune made Yang frown, she have never seen that face in Jaune, she liked to tease him because he was easy to embarrass but even with all the teasing he always gave her a sincere smile and he didn't even groan with her puns! So she considered him a friend not an amazing or a close one but a friend and she never let alone a friend in need.
"Jaune what's happening why are you running it's everything ok?" Yang asked with sincere concern about him that caught him off guard he didn't expect that Yang Xiao Long will worry for him. And in other circumstances he would feel joy for that but right now he needed to run.
"Everything is ok Yang but i really need to get to my house, so yeah see you later" he said with haste, Yang didn't believe him but she decided to let him go and ask Jaunes friends if they knew what is going on
"If you said so, be careful in your way home Jaune and i'll see you tomorrow" she said releasing his arm and immediately he started running again.
That was the last time she saw him in Signal Academy.
Jaune reached his house and slammed the door open running straight to the studio where his grandfather liked to read and listen to his old music. Reaching the third floor of his house Jaune was about to slam open the door but decided that startle an old veteran of war and renowned huntsman could be a bad idea and even in his hurry and fear he decided to knock the door. The voice of his grandfather sounded at the other side
"Come in!" Jaune opened the door and walked to the armchair where his grandpa was reading "Jaune my boy what brings you here so early, don't are you supposed to be at the school?" Julius Arc scolds him, his grandfather was a big man at 1.92 meters tall platinum hair and beard and green eyes like Jaune's mother. "Come on boy don't tell me you're skip-"he cut himself from scolding Jaune when he saw his face full of fear, sorrow and shame "Jaune what's happening son?"
Jaune looked at his Grandfather his hero the man that fought and won a war, the man that was his confidant on his family, the one that convinced his mother to give him the chance to achieve his dream, and couldn't help but start crying.
"Help me grandpa I don't want to, I really don't want to." Jaune said between sobs
"What are you talking about Jaune?" Julius said worrying more and more
"I feel it grandpa the hate, the rage and the darkness… grandpa… I'm… I'm…" he couldn't continue and fell to his knees crying
"YOU WHAT JAUNE!" his grandpa yelled
Instead of telling him Jaune opted showing him, he let free a little bit of the emotions that he have been suppressing after his fight and he could feel it again hate, rage and darkness in his heart his body started being covered in a pitch black aura after a few seconds and with all the control he could channel to don't let the bad feelings consume him a ghost of an armor started appearing in his hands all the way up to his elbows his eyes widened in horror again and he started to repress the feelings again using all his will power to calm down. When he was sure he wouldn't lose control he breathed hard and put his gauntlet hands in front of his grandpa and looked him in the eye.
Julius Arc has seen a lot in all his years of life and he knew what the gauntlets that suddenly appeared in Jaune's hands meant. In a whisper he said something that he would gladly give his life to never have to say it to Jaune.
