Initiation
-
Jaune looked at the Emerald forest, looked as if it was untouched by man.
Probably teeming with Grimm though... Jaune sighed
Every first year was told to stand in one of the platforms and to not step off.
Which reminded him of the Starving Games.
Ooooh are we gonna fight in a battle royale of some kind? Jaune made fun of the thought.
"-The first person you make eye contact with will be your partner for the next four years" Ozpin declared.
Yeah, eye contact with someone to be their partner for the next four years... SHOOT, nononononononononononononononon... From no anxiety, to full on panic attack, Jaune thought of all the people he might be paired up with
"Pyrrha or Ruby wouldn't be so bad" Jaune whispered to himself
Not listening to the rest of the speech Jaune failed to notice that the boy who was next to him launched into the air.
Until he felt a sudden and strong push from his feet.
He instinctively braced with his aether and aura. As he was launched into the air WHAT THE HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLL Jaune was internally screaming
However, if years of jumping out of an airship taught him anything it would be that, to mitigate some of the velocity that he has gained, he should spread his body out as much as possible.
He started slowing down. The canopy is getting bigger! Jaune had to move fast if he didn't want broken bones so he took materialized his chain blades out of aether.
He threw one of the blades to a nearby tree and spun around said tree to kill momentum.
When he was slow enough he retracted the blade and rolled onto the ground. Easy peasy
He then heard gunshots and general 'there's a fight here' noises.
Jaune went to check it out, and to see if he could help, since it was nearby, he saw Pyrrha with her weapons out fighting a small pack of beowolves. Since she looked like she was beating them easily, Jaune decided he should help out and flank the remaining beowolves.
He materialized his gigantic war hammer and used the Cannon of the weapon to propel himself toward the 10 remaining beowolves.
He then spun around mid-air to hit the ground with as much force as possible and as he hit the beowolves with the hammer he pulled the trigger.
Which made the ground have a shockwave that made the ground shoot up, the shockwave itself killing a few beowolves, he then swapped them out for his War Pike and stabbed the last remaining.
"Hello again" Pyrrha waved at him
"Hello, guess we're partners huh? " Jaune said
"I believe so, shall we go find the relic? " she said as she gave a little smile.
While walking they found a cave with giant bird scratches on it. Wait... these seem familiar...
"Jaune, have you found the temple? " Pyrrha asked
"You think this is it? Cuz I sure don't" Jaune felt danger coming from the cave, but then he decided why not?
They enterred the cave, and after just four to five steps Jaune stopped. Shit shit shit shit shit this is bad... Jaune knew this because what looked like two floating orbs with slits in the middle.
"Pyrrha run, as fast as you can" Jaune thought as he retreated.
"Jaune? What's in there? " Pyrrha asked
"No time, just run! " Jaune shouted
As they ran out hurriedly, a piercing shriek could be heard.
"Jaune what was that!? "
"In the Slayer business we call that a Shrike! " he shouted to Pyrrha as they heard flapping wings.
Shrikes are giant owl-like behemoths with sharp talons and a big frame. They use raw aether from the surroundings to create strong vortexes and blades of wind that can cut you down.
And having a Shrike hunt you down is the most painful experience Jaune thought
They eventually reached a clearing with a temple in the middle, they were shooting the Shrike as they were running.
They headed to the temple to find Ruby and Weiss, Yang and the Black haired girl, later known as Blake, and out of the forest emerged a girl with a massive warhammer, not unlike his, and the boy he saw that morning.
heh, knew they were a couple Jaune joked as he ran directly toward the temple.
"The gang's all here! " Jaune shouted
"Jaune! " Ruby shouted
"Ruby! " he replied
"Pyrrha! " Weiss shouted
"Hello again! "
"NORA! " The bubbly girl with the warhammer shouted.
"Nora, quiet down a bit please" The boy in green was catchig his breath.
"Aww come on Renny, I'm sure it's fine" Nora grinned.
"Ok, now that we all know each other, take your pieces and book it, we really don't want to be in this clearing" Jaune warned them as another shriek erupted from the forest.
The Shrike dashed upward and struck downward to enter the clearing.
"Jaune what the hell is that! " Yang asked
"It's a behemoth, a Shrike just take the relics and book it! " Jaune shouted once more, knowing that this group could outrun the Shrike.
Then disaster struck, another hellish shriek was heard, but this time from the air.
"Tsk... Nevermore!" Ruby shouted
"Be on your guard guys!" Jaune shouted as they were about to Cross a bridge, the Nevermore smashed the bridge they were standing on, stranding Pyrrha Ren and Blake on one side to deal with the Shrike.
"Nora, we gotta get over there. " Jaune told Nora
She grinned, and Jaune knew what that hammer/rocket launcher could do.
Might as well he materialized his hammer out of his aether storage.
"Hey, don't go stealing my idea" Nora pouted
"Heh, sorry but we gotta get on the other side, and I'm not a fan of being thrown around." Jaune told Nora
She pouted but she grinned afterward.
Jaune ran up to the gap and shot backwards, using the recoil to send him to the other side, as he launched himself he changed his hammer to his repeaters and started shooting the Shrike
Nora hit the bridge itself to sent her sailing to the other side.
"Gotta admit, Nora that was cool" Jaune praised her
"Same to you, that was epic"
"Uhm, Jaune we could use reinforcements" Pyrrha told him
"Focus on it's wings and back legs!" Jaune told them
Blake was thrown off by the massive owl off the cliff, but she was able to stick her katana(?)/pistol to a wall and help out Ruby.
Jaune knew how to deal with Shrikes and told his friends.
"If it starts charging at you, move aside! And be mindful of it's movements! It can shoot out strong wind! " Jaune said
Nora charged toward it launching herself like Jaune did and managed to hit the Shrike's head with her hammer.
It made the Shrike recoil a bit but it was fine. Jaune had an idea.
"Pyrrha! Throw your shield to it's eyes! " Jaune shouted
"Done! "
"Nora hit it again! " When Jaune shouted this Nora grinned
The Shrike managed to hit Ren, who was peppering the Behemoth with bullets from his smgs.
Ren hit a wall but was back up in a second. This enraged Nora, who hit the beast harder this time.
Since the behemoth was distracted with Pyrrha's shield, Nora's blow was solid and Jaune?
He leapt into the air with his massive warhammer and struck the beast's head to crush it under the hammer
After the behemoth died, Jaune knelt down and put his hands together.
Though these Behemoths were beasts, they were still living beings, so giving them respect is important. Jaune knew this, and was taught to give thanks to the beasts by his master.
Jaune decided to help with the Nevermore situation with team Rwby by shooting it with his repeaters, good to say that it was afftected and was slowed enough for Ruby's plan to work. After their makeshift catapult which launched Ruby toward the Grimm and she ran the thing up the cliff and finally clipped it's head off. They were able to head back for the team naming ceremony.
At The Ceremony
"You will now be named Team RWBY, to be led by, Ruby Rose! " a round of applause was heard from the crowd.
Hahaha look at that, Weiss is salty Jaune laughed in his mind.
He felt bad for laughing at her, even if it was in his mind.
"Jaune Arc, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren, having retrieved the white Rook pices. You will be named team JNPR, lead by... Jaune Arc!"
Pyrrha gave him a playful punch to the shoulder, which he took laughing Dang, she has some power... Jaune rubbed his shoulder
There was a mandatory applause, but... everyone expected Pyrrha to be the leader, but there was nothing that they could do, now could they?
It was already the evening, the sun was setting and they were assigned dorm rooms, they were right next door to team RWBY.
"So...Let's unpack? " Jaune told his team
"You got it fearless leader! " Nora smiled happily
Everyone laughed as they unpacked their stuff, no problem. Jaune tried to hide his onesie but Nora noticed and laughed at him for it, Ren told Nora that it was bad to laugh at other people's clothing choice.
"-no matter how questionable they are" Ren said smirking
"Hey! For your information, onesies are very comfortable! Right Pyrrha? " Jaune asked his partner to which she giggled
"Yes Jaune" But in Pyrrha's mind she thought it was cute that Jaune, who had that much strength, wore cute onesies
I really made the right partner choice she inwardly grinned.
Jaune was oblivious to this though so he told his team that they should get rest.
To which, Ren replireplied with some enthusiasm "Finally"
He sighed and collapsed into his bed, and everyone did the same.
The next morning
Morning was upon them, like normal, Jaune was awake and preparing his stuff and was setting up the schedules.
"Huh, 8:40 is class start huh? " he whispered to himself as to not wake his teammates.
He checked his scroll to see that it was 6 am. I guess I'll wake Pyrrha up.
"Hey, Pyrrha, wake up it's morning " he said smiling
Pyrrha groaned, she got up really early yesterday! She didn't normally wake up at 5 in the morning so she answered Jaune with.
"Five more minutes"
"If you won't wake up, I'll wake Nora up, and she'll probably wake the whole dorm up, so... " Jaune told Pyrrha softly
While rubbing her eyes Pyrrha looked upon Jaune who was already preparing himself for school.
"Great, get yourself ready, I'll figure out how to... defuse Nora when she wakes up" Jaune joked
The morning was uneventful and it was at about an hour later, they heard construction noises in the RWBY dorm room
Power tools? how the.. . Jaune wondered how the heck Team RWBY got them.
But he shrugged as he brought his team for breakfast.
He got bacon and eggs ang a small stack of pancakes. Pyrrha had more healthy food which was a salad and some fish. Ren had a bowl of rice, with fried fish and Nora.. .being Nora had a huuuuge stack of pancakes
After they ate they went back to the dorm room to pick up books they needed.
"Grimm studies is our first class, with Professor team, and... we got a few minutes to spare, let's check on RWBY" Jaune told his team
Nora was up for it and the rest of JNPR just went along with it.
"Ruby! It's Jaune, just wanted to tell you guys classes start at 8:40!" Jaune told their sister team
"Wait, classes start at 8:40?" Ruby poked her head out the door
"Yep! " Nora replied enthusiastically
"Uhm, Jaune" Pyrrha tapped his shoulder
"Yes Pyrrha?"
"It's 8:30" Pyrrha told him
"Uhm... Ok then, Craterface last one to the classroom is a rotten egg! " Jaune shouted as he and his team started running.
In Vale
In a warehouse somewhere in Vale, there were vicious monsters, and armed Faunus. Roman Torchwick, a criminal and a master thief was smoking his cigar.
"ugh... still not enough for that bitch huh?"
