These chapters are being fueled by the outlines done by Brave Kid.

All Credit goes to them.

As for NinjaNinja appearing, he originally served as one of the two guardians of the world, guarding the wearer on the No. 2 Headband. The movie took a smarter approach with making him a figment of Afro's imagination, but for the purposes of this story, he will serve as a guardian.

Salem's hands shook. Her eyes glowed in something she had not felt in many years; fear. Cinder had told her... and she wished she didn't.

"I don't think we'll be needing the maiden's power anymore. I have found something much more powerful." Salem cocked an eyebrow at her apprentice.

"And what might that be?"

"The Number Two headband." Salem froze. It couldn't be. The headbands were taken by the Bringer Taurus is in possession of the Number Two as we speak. He refused to give it to me. But if we can separate him from it we can-"

"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Cinder took a step back, surprised by Salem's outburst. The white skinned witch looked as if her own life was in danger. Her left eye twitched before she gathered herself. "If you even attempt to take that headband you will die! Stay away from it, Cinder! That is an order!"

"But- If we get our hands on the Number One, Ozpin won't be able to stop us! Why are you-?"

"Because there are some things that must remain in the shadows forever. Things that are much more than even Ozpin can handle..." Another Seer manifested itself next to Salem. "We're going to need help if the headbands have truly returned... I'm going to send a message to someone capable enough for this."

"But who might we need...?" "Lionheart can't help us! He's just a coward!"

"This is not going to Haven. It's going to Beacon..."

Adam gripped the handle of his sword with both hands, lifting it over his head. His posture was perfect, and his breathing calm. Cinder watched from a distance, along with her cohorts, as he trained. His movements were quick and almost too fast for them to keep up. Cinder narrowed her eyes as the front of the headband came into view.

"He looks... different than before..." Mercury nodded, agreeing with Emerald.

"I bet he could kill an Ursa just by looking at it. I swore my heart nearly stopped when he talked." Emerald rolled her eyes but agreed nonetheless.

"That's because, unlike yo sorry asses, he ain't gonna hold back anymore!" The voice of the afro haired ninja caught the group off guard, bringing their attention to him.

Jaune walked down the halls of Beacon, the No. 1 headband tied around the handle of his sword. His mind occupied with the state of the world, and the looming threat of his once best friend coming for him. He shook his head, removing the thoughts from his mind. He could see his friends just ahead, waiting for him just outside the cafeteria. He smiled as the thought of having a full stomach sounded nice. Ruby ran up to him, the same optimistic smile on her face.

"Hey Jaune."

"Hey Rubes."

"Hey Jauney-boy!" And there went his smile. He turned to face Cardin. He brought his team with him, and none of them looked happy. Students around them stopped and looked on as the spectacle began to unfold

"He ain't gonna play nice no more. 'Specially now that he has the No. 2 headband with him. It's a death sentence to wear it, so anyone who DOES have it better make sure they're the one on the right side of a blade." He took a drag from his cigarette. "Just watch him now; Iaida isn't something to scoff at. Only the most skilled can use it without fail. A quick draw and slash. Clean the blade and sheath it. He has more discipline to preform it now."

Adam swung his blade around as if playing with a light stick. His movements where smooth and precisely in front of himself.

"He won't need his semblance to cut down some fancy robot anymore. And he sure as hell wont need it against the No. 1. If he can beat him that is." Cinder narrowed her eyes at the Ninja, her own confidence swelling to stupid levels.

"That means nothing to me. I could take him out with one hand with my power." NinjaNinja broke out in laughter, falling over and holding his sides before getting up. Cinder glared at him, anger building up.

"Bitch! You have NO IDEA who trained him, do you!?" He chuckled and jumped up to a tree branch, pulling out another cigarette. "The Afro Samurai could wipe out an army of you maidens with one hand in this world. Two hands if he's impatient! Now imagine what a man with that power could show, not teach, SHOW a student willing enough to learn! Imagine what kind of SKILL that student would have with his already amazing power!"

Adam swung down, splitting the earth beneath his feet. Not a single drop of sweat falling from his forehead.

"Now imagine what a motherfucker like that could to to someone who only has HALF a maiden's power. You wouldn't last the hour." Adam sheathed his blade looking to his right at his road dog. "Where to?"

"Beacon."

All Jaune could hear was the muffled voice of Cardin and his cronies. His expression was calm and collected while Winchester's was furious and annoyed. Ruby stood next to him, not having said a word the entire time. Jaune didn't want her to in the first place. He felt her tap his shoulder.

"Let's just go..." He nodded, still feeling hungry and wanting to eat. He turned, but suddenly leaned back as a fist flew by his face. Sidestepping and gently kicking Ruby out of the way, Jaune spun around, swinging his right foot down and hitting Cardin at the back of his knee. Students cheered as the fight commenced.

"Can we not do this? I'm kinda hungry." Cardin shot up, attempting to tackle him, but was sent down by a kick to the face. Jaune jumped back, raising his hands with his palms facing the floor.

As his skills with wielding two swords increased, his mind was set on being able to defend themselves without them. Although it probably wasn't the best way to learn, he began watching videos on Judo, and practicing with Ruby every chance they got. Grated they still had allot to learn, they had at least gotten one or two movements down.

Jaune's heart pounded in his chest, his breathing becoming somewhat panicked. Cardin got up again and ran at him. Jaune planted his feet firmly on the ground, his arm muscles tensed, and his pupils dilated. Just as Cardin was getting ready to throw his punch, a purple aura surrounded him, stopping him in his tracks.

"Mister Winchester!" Jaune let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh thank Oum..." He looked over at Goodwitch, who had made her way through the crowd and stood in front of the two.

"Mister Arc, please see that situations like this are resolved in combat class." He nodded. "And you, mister Winchester, will be serving your lunch in detention along with your team!" Jaune grinned as he walked past the still frozen Cardin. He smiled as he wrapped his arm around Ruby, making her blush brightly.

"Come on Rubes." Cardin watched him leave, his anger increasing. A plan was forming in his mind. Something to make him pay. Of course that plan would fail miserably, but more on that later.

Qrow sat in front of Ozpins desk, his arms crossed and a look of concentration on his face.

"Are you one hundred percent sure it's the real deal? There have been fake ones made to scare people in the past." Ozpin took a sip from his coffee, his eyes showing the feint emotion of fear.

"I felt the power radiating from it, Qrow. It was all too real." Qrow leaned forward, concern written on his features.

"He's not wearing it, is he?" The tone of voice Qrow was using became all too serious. It was as if he had sobered up at how worried Ozpin sounded. "You do remember what happens if he wears it, right? Never mind actually having the damn thing."

"No. He is forbidden to wear it. But I don't know what will happens if he actually puts it on." He took a sip from his mug. "And we can't just take it; the guardian of the No. 1 headband will do everything in its power to defend it."

"And the only one who can take him on, is the currently unknown No. 2... Just great." The grizzled huntsman took a sip from his flask, staring out the window. Somehow, the sky seemed clearer, the colors brighter. He blinked, realizing the influence the kid was having.

He was broken out of his thoughts by Ozpin, who stood from his desk, knocking his chair back, holding his cane defensively. Qrow turned quickly, spitting out the whiskey he didn't have in his mouth before jumping up and pulling his weapon out.\

The seer floated near them, its tendril moving around the air gently. Ozpin stepped forward, readying himself to strike it down before it spoke it suddenly began humming, gurgling growling. Slowly, Ozpin lowered his cane, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"Ozpin... what's going on?" Ozpin simply lowered his cane, gritting his teeth and closing his eyes. The headmaster took a seat as the seer floated in place and Qrow stood between them. Ozpin downed his coffee and opened his drawer and pulling a bottle of scotch out.

"We're going to need some professional help" Opening the bottle and taking a drink, he loosened up somewhat. "An associate of Salem has the No. 2. And he's not alone..."

WOOOO! I think this is the longest chapter I worked on.

Sorry for the delay, but I'm a lazy writer. Hopefully I can start getting into the meat of the headbands and how Afro plays into this aside from bringing them into the world of Remnant.

I'm hoping that's the case because I've just been winging it this whole time and hoping you all like is.
