A Call

_

The Atlesian fleets were arriving onto the docking bays at Vale. Thorin was looking at these ships and wondering, Ironwood, why the hell are you here with an army?

Thorin was called by Ozpin to talk about Qrow's message. Of course he had no obligation to help Ozpin out himself, but if She's involved, then everyone in Vale is also involved. He can't stand back and watch his student suffer.

There he was, at Beacon Academy. Thorin Pendragon, a man of great achievements was walking through the hallways of a school being looked at by multiple students.

Tch crowds are a bother He thought as he eventually got to Ozpin's tower. Glynda Goodwitch was waiting outside.

"Thorin, it is quite good to see you" Goodwitch greeted Thorin

"As it is to see you Goodwitch, though I'm not here to see you. I'm here for Ozpin" He said, under normal circumstances Goodwitch would've thought this rude. But this was Thorin Pendragon, one of the greatest huntsmen ever. Thorin tried to correct them before by saying Slayer but no one really took it seriously.

Goodwitch nodded and sent him up the elevator which took him to the headmaster's office.

There he saw Ozpin and Ironwood. "Oh it seems Mr. Pendragon has arrived."

"Spare me the 'Mister' Ozpin" Thorin said with a steely gaze.

Ozpin gave a smile but Thorin said quickly "So, The General and The Wizard are together, what's this I hear about 'The Queen has pawns'?"

Ironwood frowned "It seems we have a new player in Vale, she has pyromancy. She was, most likely the cause of the Fall Maiden's near-death"

"It would seem as it was" Ozpin sipped on his coffee agreeing with Ironwood.

These men have no clue Thorin asked "So, is she the cause of the White Fang and Roman Torchwick's heist?"

"I...I'm not so sure with that one" Ironwood took a sip from his flask as he said that.

"Well, do you have any information about their whereabouts?" Thorin asked, being a bit impatient

"None at the moment" Ozpin said truthfully.

"Then that is this meeting adjourned" Thorin left and so did Ironwood.

-oOoOoOo-

"I used Atlesian Airforce to attack Mistral's walls!" Ruby shouted as she raised her card in the air.

Jaune was getting bored, staying with Pyrrha who was his pretty teammate, was great. But srudying, or at least being forced to study wasn't that fun. I know Pyrrha wants the best for me but...I already know this stuff

"You have just activated my trap card!" Yang shouted as she played GIANT NEVERMORE ahhh what a luck based card

From Ruby's moan of defeat, Jaune deduced Yang rolled a 7 or higher.

"Jaune, are you reading?" Pyrrha asked

"Of course..." Pyrrha took the book Jaune had and saw that he was reading X-ray and Vav instead.

"Busted" Jaune smiled sheepishly as Pyrrha took the comic book. She got curious and started reading.

Jaune found it kind of ironic, smiled and said "You know, if you wanted to read it. We could've read it together"

Pyrrha blushed a little and said "You should study"

The reason Pyrrha was making Jaune study was because she hadn't seen him hold any sort of school material ever since the first semester.

Of course, Jaune got bored and said "Hey, uhm Pyr, I'm gonna go check out what team RWBY is doing. I'll come back and study"

"Promise?" She asked

"An Arc never goes back on his word" he said as she nodded and he left to see what his other friends were doing.

Jaune looked over to Weiss' hand and saw She can win this turn "Weiss, can I play your hand once?"

Weiss knew the Arc boy had an edge to him when it came to strategy, so she let him have the turn "Jauney saw the three-turn ender huh?" Yang grinned

"Oh Yang, you don't seem to get it. Its not a three-round ender, I'm ending this right now" Jaune smiled

Yang's face contorted into one of confusion. It was Blake's turn, she set a face-down card and gave Ruby her turn. Ruby used "Replenish troops" which meant that her kingdom would be making more units in the next few turns.

Then it was Jaune's turn...

"I use... Sword of humanity" Jaune threw the card onto the field. This gave all units Jaune had and gained to have extreme augments, that let them travel from kingdom to kingdom. However the price was it would lower the morale of the people, thus making it harder to build up forces the next turn.

"So? What are you gonna do with your Augments? Weiss' army is too small" Yang said and Ruby agreed Heh noobs Jaune thought as he played another card.

"Call reinforcements, and Insurgency" Jaune put down two more spell cards. Call reinforcements gave Jaune a total 1.5 k attacking power, in comparison a (player's) kingdom's hp is at 2k.

Insurgency allowed Jaune to take up units from a separate faction, if he rolled a 3 or below, if he rolled a 1 he'd be able to double those forces.

But if he rolled a 4 or higher there would be an Insurgency in his kingdom and morale would decrease.

Jaune smirked and rolled the dice. Yang grimaced as Jaune rolled a one. He pointed toward's Blake's army. She had been building up a massive army at about 1 thousand soldiers. The card Insurgency doubled the amount therefore making it 2 thousand and putting it in Jaune's own force making it 4.5 thousand. Jaune's augments gave the fighting force 2 their fighting ability making it a massive 8 thousand attack.

This astounded Yang and Ruby HOW COULD WE HAVE LET THIS HAPPEN!?!?!?

Ill end it right here "For my last spell card I use...Divide and Conquer!"

This card allowed Jaune to attack all players on the board. The drawback is the kingdom's army would stack with the player. But that didn't matter, Jaune's attack force was enough for everyone.

"Nooooooooo!" Yang and Ruby shouted as their capitals became overrun with Atlesian knights.

Game over "Good game" Jaune held out his hand and shook Ruby, Yang and Blake's hands.

"Hah! I knew the Arc could do it" Weiss said

Pyrrha came up to him "That was a fun match wasn't it Jaune? Now your promise"

"Ok Pyrrha, anything for you" he flirted jokingly

Pyrrha had a light pink blush but "Come on you" she said as she pulled Jaune over to study.

Sun and Neptune entered "Sup losers"

He said as Neptune asked "Aren't libraries for reading"

"Shut up, don't be a nerd"

"Intellectual!" Neptune replied to Sun

"Anyway, Jaune how've you been?" Sun asked "Meh, fine. Just finished a game of Remnant." Blake left at this point

Sun looked at the faces of Ruby and Yang "He used the cheaty one-turn end huh?"

They both nodded and Neptune and Sun laughed "Nep here is the one closest to beating Jaune"

"Can't beat him though" Neptune said sadly.

Jaune asked "So, what're you guys doing here?"

"Oh you know, to see Rwby and You and your team-" Sun said

"Oh thats-" Jaune said as he noticed Pyrrha was still holding onto his arm...and Sun and Neptune were staring.

"Hello" Pyrrha waved as she once again tried to pull Jaune

"J-Jaune is that...Pyrrha Nikos?" Sun pointed

"Yeah, shes cool right?" Jaune said as he tapped Pyrrha's hand.

Neptune went over "Hey uh...Miss Nikos, are you free this Saturday"

Jaune's face scrunched up "Hey Nep, sorry bud but we got training on Saturday"

"C'mon man...just one" Neptune bugged

"I'm sorry Neptune, but I would decline your offer" Pyrrha put on a straight face

Neptune shrunk and Jaune pat his back "Sorry bud, why not take your chances with Weiss over there"

With that Neptune bounced back and went over to Weiss.

Pyrrha whispered to Jaune "You know Jaune, we don't train with each other right?"

"Yeah well...we're starting now I guess" Jaune said. Pyrrha smiled as she got a new sparring partner who was also her crush(?)

The Library door opened and in came Thorin Pendragon.

"Jaune Arc, come" Thorin approached Jaune

"Ask them to come, tell them it will strengthen their team. I'll meet you and those who went by the docks tomorrow. Those exchange student's teams should've arrived already." Thorin said as Jaune nodded.

"So what'd Mister Thorin want?" Sun asked

"He told me to take you guys to something, it'll help teamwork apparantly." Jaune said.

Sun and Neptune were on board so he went to ask his team.

"Sure! Let's go Fearless Leader!" Nora said and Ren sighed but gave the thumbs up.

"If you want to Jaune, I'll be there with you" Pyrrha said as Jaune smiled and went to ask RWBY

"Uhm...Sure! I want to see how that old guy fights anyway" Ruby agreed and Yang did too.

Weiss didn't have a problem with it and they'd ask Blake.

Jaune went back over to Thorin "They said yes"

"Good"

"What're we doing anyway Thorin?" Jaune asked

"I'll be teaching your friends a little bit of how to be a Slayer. Jaune, we're going hunting" Thorin said as Jaune went wide eyed.
