Author note: Not much to say this time, enjoy the chapter.
I do not own Dauntless or RWBY so don't sue me :)
- Preparation time! -
More and more transfer students enter Beacon as Ozpin sips his cup of coffee. Watching their movement, innocence and care free natures. Glynda however had a strained look on her face.
"Ozpin, you told her? And without me knowing!? " She asked angrily.
"Glynda, can't you see? All these things the children have been put up against... Someone is in control" Ozpin says calmly as he once again sipped on his coffee.
"I know that Ozpin, Salem is out there. But why tell her so early? Miss Nikos might not be ready for such commitment" Glynda argues with Ozpin. She didn't like it that Pyrrha was going to be given the maiden's powers this early. For all they knew, this could all be a coincidence.
"Trust, Glynda. Miss Nikos will be ready in time, I just informed her of what role she might undertake. She agreed to it herself of course " Ozpin looks outside at the calm winds.
"When do you plan to give her these powers then Ozpin? " Glynda sighs as she stands back up to head to her next class.
"In time, preferably in her third year... But you know it probably won't go that well, considering Salem, she'd move as quick as possible... " Ozpin grips the handle of his coffee mug hard but relaxes "But I'm sure she won't be harmed"
"Then so be it Ozpin" Glynda walked out of the headmaster's office to make an announcement to the school.
Today was the day that the first years undertook their first missions. This would be a great learning experience for the students. She went over to the Communications room. She then took over the school intercoms and announced "Attention all first years... "
-oOoOoOo-
"Jauney, isn't it great that we get our first mission?" Nora Valkyrie asked Jaune Arc who was looking at the board of missions.
Guess their commission board is close to our own Slayer mission board huh? Jaune smiled "Of course Nora, Pyrrha how are you feeling?"
"I am well Jaune, did you need anything? Perhaps you forgot something?" Pyrrha giggled as Jaune smiled
"Nope! Got all the stuff we need in here! " Jaune pointed at his lantern.
"Well... Not all of the stuff" Ren said as he carried a backpack of supplies.
"Sorry I couldn't take it all Ren"
"It's fine, I'm glad I could help" Ren said as they went over to see what jobs they could take. Jaune saw one that said they could be "Junior Detectives", Nora thought it was cool but Jaune shook his head and put it back.
"Hmm? Apparently we can take this one, it's a guarding mission. Aurora Village? east of Vale" Jaune took it as Pyrrha's face brightened.
"Yes! We could take that one Jaune, it would be wonderful... "
"You like Aurora, Pyrrha? " Nora asked curiously, while tapping her finger on her lips.
"Why of course, my Uncle lives there" Pyrrha said energetically. "Uncle? " Nora replies
"Yes, my Uncle Andrew Nikos. He is a veteran, he fought White Fang in Atlas"
"Andrew? The modern war hero? The Clockwork Guardian? " Nora asked excitedly
"Yes" Pyrrha replied
"OMG! Jaune let's take this one! " Nora begged Jaune.
"Ren? " Jaune looked over at Ren who smiled and nodded. "To Aurora it is" Jaune took his scroll and scanned the code on the wall. His scroll beeped and team JNPR's scrolls all beeped with the message
"Mission Accepted
Departing time: 5:00 PM"
Jaune pocketed his scroll, it was 10 in the morning. They had time.
Jaune went over to Miss Goodwitch, who would give them an instructor as chaperone.
"Mister Arc, I don't think your group needs a chaperone from Beacon" Glynda just flat out says it. "We have contacted Mister Andrew Nikos if he could escort you, and he gladly obliged"
"That was quick" Jaune said
"You underestimate Beacon, Mister Arc. You are to meet by landing pad 4, you are dismissed Mister Arc" Goodwitch eventually went to handle other students.
Jaune looked over to his team, "So uh... you guys wanna get Pizza before we go? "
"Yssir fearless leader sir! "
"It would be grand"
"Ok"
They eventually left for pizza.
-oOoOoOo-
Trudging through rough and broken roads Ruby was with her team and Profe- Doctor Oobleck. "Girls, we are sent on a search and destroy mission for White Famg bases"
"Yessir" Ruby nodded, as she was laughed at by Yang.
"Do not stray too far from the group please, Mountain Glenn is teeming with gthem.. With the added danger of the White fang, I suggest we lay low" Oobleck advised the huntresses.
They all nodded and eventually they got to their drop point. Under them were a few Grimm that could be dealt with easily. Ruby and her team leapt out and killed the beowulves near them. Their mission is actually pretty hard.
"Come! Let us make haste! " Oobleck started walking north, and the girls followed him to a building. There were at least 10 beowolves in there.
"Girls! " Oobleck shouted as team RWBY nodded. Oobleck charged forward as RWBY split to do a pincer maneuver.
Ruby and Weiss took the right, targetting the two beowolves away from the group. They made quick work of it as Weiss used her time dilation glyph on Ruby as she sliced down both of the beowolves in break neck speed.
On the other hand, Blake and Yang were able to give their two beowolves a systematic beatdown. Yang punched a hole through one of them as Blake stabbed the head of the other. Oobleck blew three to bits.
Oobleck then handles the last three as he twirled his thermos and hit the head of one of them, effectively sending it over to Yang, who clothes lined it. She then proceeded to punch it's head off.
Oobleck shot the other that was charging at him, and was stalled long enough for Ruby to slice it in half. The last Beowolf was handled by Weiss and Blake, who charged the last one.
Weiss dashed and stabbed the beowolf multiple times but backed off as Blake used her clone to disorientate the Beowolf, as she took those few seconds of distraction to slice its head off.
"Good work girls, let's take a break here for a while" Oobleck started climbing as the girls followed him.
-oOoOoOo-
Unlike the bleak skies of mountain Glenn, it's Grey streets, lined with destroyed concrete and demolished buildings. The way to Aurora was clear, blue skies lined the clearly lush forests. Not a single dark cloud in sight, tall wooden walls outside of even taller walls of what looked like concrete stood.
"Welcome to Aurora kiddies! Get off when we land this time" the pilit told team JNPR
"Hehehe, sorry for the last time" Jaune scratched the back of his head "it's ok kid, y'all have aura anyway" he said as he laughed heartily.
They eventually landed, their mission would last for at least 3 days. Directives say to go meet with the head guard Jaune thought as he led his team forward to the gate.
"ID please" the guard asked. Jaune tapped his back pocket, then his side pockets Crap.
"Ren, I think my ID is in the pack" Jaune sighed, it was quite a hassle.
"I'll check" Ren said as he put down the pack to check but was stopped when a gravelly voice stopped them "It's OK, let them go"
A man with dark red hair, a scar on his neck and a sword on his back came out of the gates.
"Uhm, who might you be sir? " Jaune asked as Pyrrha however ran up to embrace him. The man returned Pyrrha's embrace.
Jaune looked confused and Nora was starry eyed. Ren just sat back and watched it unfold.
"Jaune, this is my uncle! " Pyrrha told Jaune as she introduced her uncle Andrew to Jaune.
"Ah, the leader of my niece's team. Nice to meet you" Andrew held his hand out and Jaune shook it.
"Welcome to Aurora, you'll be guarding the gates for three days. I'll be your commanding officer, I only have one rule. Follow my orders, is that understood? " Andrew said in a commander like voice.
Jaune and his team saluted "I'm kidding, nothing bad really happens here. However if something does, what I want you to do is to report it to me so we can reinforce. If you could, try to avoid fighting in the front" the man said with a smile.
Jaune of course was offended by this "What do you mean, sir? We are fully capable of fighting up front"
"Do you want to get hurt? Are you ready to protect innocents in exchange for your life" Andrew stared at Jaune with a deadly gaze as Pyrrha moved behind Jaune, she has not seen this kind of resolve from her uncle in a long time. She clasped her hands on the back of Jaune's hoodie and whispered "he's just worried probably"
"I am" Jaune defiantly answered with a steely gaze of his own as he stared at the taller man.
They had a staring contest as Pyrrha tried to do something about the tension, Nora and Ren decided to watch it from afar as to not get caught in the crossfire.
However, Andrew Nikos laughed heartily and put his hand on Jaune's shoulder "I like your resolve, boy. If the time comes, I'll let you fight in the front line. Pyrrha, come here" Jaune was confused as Andrew said something to Pyrrha and she blushed furiously.
"N-n-no! it's not like that! " Pyrrha said as she backed up from the laughing Andrew, who found it cute as she did so.
"Ok then, now that I know the conviction of your leader you all should follow in his example got it? Unending resolve, fight to protect, understood? " Andrew said smiling to Nora and Ren who nodded.
"Great! Let's go over to the Barracks, Next to it is my house. You will be taking refuge there" Andrew said as he and team JNPR started walking.
Along the way Jaune got curious "Pyr, what'd he tell you? "
Pyrrha blushed "Nothing"
Jaune wondered Hmm I wonder what it was he said...
Pyrrha however thought of what her uncle said. "Pyrrha, I think your dad would approve of the boy. I know I do, he's a keeper"
"We aren't like that! " Pyrrha quietly shouted.
Jaune was just confused and on the way decided to buy some bread from some store. "Pyr you want some? "
"Err, ok Jaune" She took some and felt better, it had a chocolate filling which she absolutely loved.
"Isn't that better? Your more calm now" Jaune smiled as he was worried for Pyrrha before.
"Thank you Jaune" Pyrrha said as the kept moving toward the house of Andrew
Author note: That's a chapter done! Thanks for telling me about the "why sid Ozpin tell her so early" I did it cuz I thought of Ozpin as paranoid enough, and with the reports of some woman working with Roman and stuff, he'd assume something something Salem.
Either way, thank you, Until the next chapter!
