The Hunt
_
Jaune walked onto the docking platform. He, his team, team Rwby and team Sssn were all equipped with their weapons.
"Hey Sun, the hell are we doing here at the ass crack of dawn again?" Sage asked, he was a big man, he had slightly dark-green hair, a long coat and a golden spaulder.
"C'mon Sage, he told you already. We were going to be meeting that old guy" Scarlet said. Scarlet was a boy slightly shorter than Sun, he had red hair and had a red coat hanging on his side. On his belt was his cutlass.
Sun yawned, since it was pretty early they were all tired... Barring Jaune, who was excited.
Jaune was smiling, he was giddy, he wanted to fight behemoths and not humans! Fighting those monsters are sooooo much better.
"Jaune, how can you be so energetic" Ren asked
"I don't know how you Can't" Jaune replied
Pyrrha agreed with Ren "Jaune, why don't we sit down over at that bench?" she asked. Ren and Nora sat separately.
"Hmm, good idea" They went over and sat. It was quite cold, since it was early in the morning. Team Rwby were all taking a nap in the bench next to theirs.
Jaune found it nice, peaceful even. Weiss was leaning on Ruby and Yang was resting her back on the bench, hands sprawled out behind it It's like she's showing off those massive... Jaune thought. Blake was off to the side, readig something on her scroll.
Pyrrha rested her head on Jaune's shoulder and took a nap. Jaune, of course blushed at first, but smiled and let her rest. He knew Pyrrha wasn't a morning person. Ren was laying on Nora's lap in a different bench Get together already!!!!! Jaune thought.
Jaune looked over and saw Thorin, he woke Pyrrha up.
"Pyr, hey. Thorin's here" He whispered
"Mmmm, five more minutes..." she said as she put her head deeper in Jaune's shoulder. Jaune's face became very red and team Sssn looked at him jealously.
"Hmmm, you came. Brave" Thorin said as he met them on the docking bay.
Team Rwby woke up first and greeted the man. Jaune couldn't move yet, Thorin knew this so he let it pass.
Team Sssn greeted the old man too "Good morning mister Thorin" Sage Ayano greeted
"Hm, you seem to be taking my recommendation to heart" Thorin said as he remembered telling Sage that the weight of the sword he had previously was insufficient.
It had already been five minutes so Jaune woke Pyrrha once more "Hey Pyr, Thorin's here"
Pyrrha sat straight and rubbed her eyes and gave a cute yawn. Jaune thought Wow...
"I'm sorry for leaning on you Jaune" Pyrrha said, averting her eyes.
"N-no, it's fine"
Thorin approached Jaune "Jaune, there have been sightings of three diferrent behemoths approximately 50 kilometers from the kingdom's walls. I'll send your team to defeat the Boreus"
"Wait wait wait wait, but master Thorin-"
"Just Thorin, Jaune" Thorin cut Jaune off
"Thorin, are you saying there's a Boreus here?" Jaune said
"Yes, it is indeed quite a bizarre phenomenon, but it has happened before. I'll be assisting the other teams with the help of-" Thorin said.
"Me! How are you Jaune!" Jaune was greeted by a man, he wasn't as thickly built as Thorin, but he was pretty big. He wore an orange chestplate and jeans, he looked like Jaune. If only Jaune was taller, had black hair and green eyes.
"Percy!" Jaune exclaimed, the man was named Percy Caster. He was older than Jaune by 6 years, making him 24.
Percy was here to help the other teams along with Thorin "Thorin said you got yourself a girlfriend" he said as he looked at Pyrrha.
Percy wiggled his eyebrows at Jaune who turned beet red. "We aren't like that..."
"Well, you should be. She won't be single forever you know" Percy advise Jaune.
They got onto the Bullhead and went off to the mission point.
-oOoOoOo-
Jaune jumped out of the bullhead with his team.
Jaune used Aether and Aura for a safe landing, he hit the ground and there was a small wave of dust as he landed.
"Superhero landing!" Nora shouted as she used her hammer to mitigate the damage from falling.
Ren used his aura too and Pyrrha did a graceful roll. Jaune instantly took off and let his team follow.
"Its over here!" Jaune shouted as he saw specks of snow. He instinctively threw a firework.
"Jaune why did you throw that?" Pyrrha asked
Jaune shrugged "Meh, I just got used to doing it I guess"
The beast roared, it looked like a massive disfigured goat, with two large hind limbs. It had two small wings, a large scaly tail and two huge horns. Around it were creatures that looked like bats. Some were small and agile, while others were fat and slow.
Jaune signalled the team to stop.
The beast turned its head toward their direction, however they are still unnoticed. A few silent steps got them to the back of the beast.
Jaune, with bated breath looked over at his team. They were ready to pounce.
Like alligators inside a drinking well, the strike swiftly! Jaune leaps in first hitting the Boreus with his massive warhammer.
Nora jumps in second to deal massive damage and throw the beast back. Pyrrha throws her shield at one of the bat looking things as it exploded and caused a chain reaction with 6 others.
That action damaged the Boreus. "Take those orbs!" Jaune told his team as the great Behemoth roared once more, activating a thick sheet of Aether and ice around its body.
Ren shot at the little bats to kill some, and Jaune took some orbs and he swung hard to knock the Boreus off to the side. However, the beast was unphased and charged at the Blonde Knight.
Nora, who had also taken one of the orbs gave a supplementary strike and halted the beast as it was toppled.
"Wail on it!!!" Jaune shouted as the team got close to do melee damage.
Jaune swapped over to his dual scythe/pickaxes and dealt great damage to the hide. Jaune and his team broke off a piece of its tail and Jaune noticed the beast twitch "Get back!"
He shouted as the beast got up and in a fury stomped on the ground and made a red, Aether filled shockwave. Nora wasn't fast enough and was sent back. Ren caught her, Jaune and Pyrrha backed off.
"Ren!" Jaune threw a potion at Ren. Jaune explained to his team what these potions did. He taught them that they shouldn't ingest any of it, but he told them to smash the bottle.
Ren did as Jaune instructed, and Nora was up and running.
With a resounding roar, multiple bats came down from who knows where. They followed their current strategy of taking the down the bats and taking the orbs and battering the Boreus.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha shouted. Jaune had his back turned as an explosive bat got him on the right side DAMN! Jaune shouted in his mind and rolled sideways to mitigate the damage.
The Boreus saw this opportunity and rushed at Jaune. Pyrrha saw this and threw Miló at the head of the beast and hit it in the eye.
This didn't stop the forward momentum, but slowed it enough for Jaune to be able to roll away.
"Nora! Nail it!" Jaune shouted
Things were about to go as planned. But the beast kicked Nora away, Pyrrha had no choice but to take Miló back.
"Wait wait wait! Guys back off!" Jaune shouted.
Ren and Nora stayed their ground, but slowly backed off, Pyrrha was staying close to Jaune. Jaune saw that the Behemoth was low on stamina, from its heavy breathing and the wounds it had sustained.
The behemoth roared and... Ran away!
"CHASE THE THING!" Jaune shouted
-oOoOoOo-
Pyrrha ran as fast as she could to chase after the Arc who tracked the behemoth down. Jumping over chasms and leaping from trees, they finally chased down the Boreus.
The air was more chilly now, the beast was drinking from an Aether to heal its wounds. Pyrrha saw that Jaune was not having any of it and started shooting with his Repeaters.
"Jaune, do we charge at it?" she asked.
"Yes! Come on this is our chance!" he shouted as the group of huntsmen/huntresses in training rushed the Behemoth. Ren took care of the minions that the Boreus had and the rest of the team went to battle the beast.
After it was staggered by Nora. Pyrrha noticed that there were wounds on its neck and looked over at Jaune who nodded.
"Cut its neck Pyr!" Jaune shouted and Pyrrha obliged. Running towards it she slashed downward to reveal red, flowing blood.
"GOOD!" Jaune shouted as he raised his axe and threw it at the neck of the Boreus. Decapitating it, the minions it summoned suddenly cried out in pain and vanished.
Everyone was panting tiredly. Ren was the first to lie down, next to him, Nora.
Jaune went over to his partner after praying for thanks to the gods.
He raised his hand and highfived Pyrrha, who smiled and sat down with him.
"So! That was quite a fight... I bought bread, you guys want some?" Jaune said as his team lit up, they then had a picnic while waiting for extraction.
