Hello!

It's here, the second chapter of JOTFS is here. Sorry it took so long, i had to get some advice form a fellow author named Lordhellphoniex on somethings and what not. Truth be told, i had thought of several ways to go about this and ultimately decide this would be the base course to run this with. Never the less, it's here so read, review and enjoy.

I don't own RWBY or Claymore.

Ps: spoilers for volume 6 is in here

Chapter 1: Consequences and an unexpected reunion

Jaune was sitting on a train, heading toward the city of Argus were his sister, Saphorn lived with her wife Terra and their son and his nephew, Adrian. Many people were looking at him but he ignored them all. It wasn't the first time he'd been stared at, back when he was Teresa, he got plenty of stares, usual filled with fear and hate. So the fact they weren't staring at him with simple curiosity was a welcome change.

Why were they staring you ask?

Well, it's not every day you see a young man wearing a skin tight gray two piece body suit with metal armor on his shoulders, feet, wrist and a black choker with a symbol of a 'T' with two lines going down it. To complete his look, he had a gray cape with a giant claymore sword on his back held in it's sheath. It too had the same symbol on his neck, engraved on the base of the halt. He had tied his still wavy pale blonde hair into a pony tail, but his hair was still parted out of the way of his forehead and silver eyes.

The former number 1 was looking out the window, staring into the endless white of the snow, deep in thought. What did he do now?

Make no mistake, he knew he had to stop Cinder's plans, but that wasn't the problem. Oh no, the problem was this: How did he processed?

He would admit, Cinder had a very good plan. Use Roman torchwick and the white fang to not only steal dust but dived attention away form herself and her subordinate's, but if by some chance they were caught, everything could be blamed on them. Cinder fall was nobody, just another face in the crowd while Roman Torchwick was Vale's best master thief. It was a no brainer who was guilty.

No matter how wrong they were.

Anyway, Cinder was not only making Roman play by her tune, but Adam Taurus a well know, POWERFUL terrorist, who hated human with a passion and would rather tear off his own arm then work with a human, was. That should tell you just what kind of power the maiden's have. Even a half a maiden. Not to mention just how skilled she is, to take down the previous fall maiden. Even if in his opinion, Cinder was nothing more then a parasite, sucking the lives out of others or using them to survive.

Never the less, with his decade's of experience, his yoma power, and of course his aura, he was more then confident with all these things, he could take on anything Cinder, Salem or remnant would throw at him. An interesting fact, after coming back to remnant, Jaune found out he had a few new interesting abilities. One being able to sense aura like he does with yoki and even able to sense the Grimm themselves. Another thing he discovered while using his yoki, was that he no longer felt the addictive feel and pull that made the energy so dangerous to use. Warriors who use it constantly have a much higher chance of awakening then those who don't.

Doesn't mean those who don't use yoki very often won't awaken, just prologue it.

A sad fact was this: Warriors would always become awakened beings.

Just a question of when and where.

"Except me, apparently." Jaune thought, smirking a bit at the thought. Though he hasn't dared try using the full might of his Yoki aura yet.

He's already proven to himself that he can beat the Grimm without it, when they tried to attack the train station. It's how he was able to get ride the train in the first place. It was there way showing how thankful they are. The fact he could use his yoki sense to sense the Grimm themselves, was a nice bonus. The fact he got a free ride was very good, as Jaune had no lien on him.

Evidently the deity forgot to give Jaune the much needed lien or simply didn't care.

Possible both.

Jerk.

However Jaune had a small problem. How was he going to processed?

He was heading to Argus city to make sure his older sister would be fine, as no doubt hear the news of his 'Death' and would hurt her badly. Team RWBY too, but his three plans depended on him staying out of sight. All of them were good, but had flaws.

The first one would involved him going back to beacon, but without curry favor. And by that, he means not only stopping the breach, but giving...certain info to the headmaster and not only would that bring suspicious onto himself but there was a good chance it get back to Cinder making him a bigger target before. Not that he wasn't prepared for it, but the possibility of Cinder tweaking or even changing her current plan could spell disaster. As much as he wanted to kill her, he needed her to reveal her true self first, before he could strike.

Things could get very messy otherwise.

The second one was a lot simpler: Find and destroy any and all white fang bases, in hopes of not only drawing out Adam Taurus but the red witch herself and with some luck deal with them both. Or at the very least kill one of them, as the plan then would fall apart. If he killed the bull fauns, the white fang in Vale would not only be left leaderless, but ensure Sienna Khan survive's. If he killed fall, then the REAL reason for the invasion would not only go up in flames(PUN INTENDED), but Salem would lose a potential maiden.

A real blow to her forces.

The third was probably the most dangerous and unpredictable of the three plans: Let things play. Remain hidden and help form the shadows. Let the world think he was dead and use that to stay invisible, using only his yoki aura to remain undetected by them and give team RWBY the evidence needed to expose Cinder and the others before it's too late.

"Well number three's out the window. That's for certain." Jaune thought, sighing and shaking his head. By the twins, he only had one shot, it has to be prefect. Because this time around, there will be no second chances. And he really needed his armor re-forged and new weapons too, this made him sigh again. So much to do, so little time to do them.

Ugh what a bloody pain. However Jaune mind wondered back to a certain little girl: Clare.

Was she all right?

Was she dead?

Would she be all right, now that Teresa was dead?

Would she seek revenge in her name? And what happened to the kid and the rest of the hunting party? Despite Irene hunting her, he. Teresa still consider the pointy eared number two(Because Irene will always be number two to her/him? Whatever.) her/his? best friend.

Not only that, but did the kid awakened? If she did, then what become of Clare, Irene, Sophia and Noel?

Were they alright?

Were they able to kill the kid or did she kill them?

Jaune knew the kid had the potential to surpass Teresa, but that didn't mean she could kill three skilled and powerful single digits, even if and that is a very big IF she awakened.

Right?

But even if she could, then what would happen to Clare. The thought made the pale blonde heart's tighten. He could do nothing but pray to the twins that at the very least, Clare would be alright.

And he did just that.

All the while, he never noticed a pair of eyes watching his ever move.

At beacon academy

The air was tense.

Thick tension and sadness.

It has only been about a day, but the fact is this: Jaune arc was dead.

While no body was found, his mangled shield and broken sword found out at a clearing, along with many signs of battle. With pools of blood, destroyed tree's and shattered ground. No one could survive that much blood loss. People who knew the boy, which weren't many where hit the hardest.

Namely team RWBY, Velvet scarlatina and shocking the remains of team JNPR.

In his tower, headmaster Ozpin sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. What a mess.

He long since knew of Mr. Arc transcripts and overlooked them, since he knew the boy had potential. Despite his father's doubts, Ozpin knew when someone had great potential. Mr. Arc just needed the right push.

He could't explain it, but something, even now, their was just something about the former arc heir that told the old headmaster: This boy would change things. He would make an impact so large, it effect all of remnant itself.

How or why?

He didn't know, even with his current skill level, the feeling just would't leave the man. One of the reason's Ozpin let the boy stay was actually pretty simple. Despite not having any aura or formal training he still survived initiation and even helped his team kill that large deathstalker. Even came up with a damn good plan on the fly and did not hesitant to help his...former team take it down.

Former team, as honesty, those three should have helped there former leader.

Did he lie? Sure, but so did miss belladonna and if his memory severed him right, being a former terrorist was far worse then forge documents. They accepted her, yet they turn on mister Arc for one crime? For the first time, in a long time Ozpin was disappointed and angry. He was disappointed in not only the way team JNPR acted, but his students and Miss Goodwitch.

He knew since day one, she didn't like the blonde. However it's only now did he read over the reports did he found out just how far she let her bisa she was toward the boy. More to the point, ignoring the bullying his soon to be former student, Mr. Winchester. Add in the fact, Mr. Arc only ever went up against the brown haired boy when the sparring selections should have been random.

Once, okay.

Twice, strange but fine.

Three times, rare.

Four times, something is up.

But EVERY TIME, Mr. Arc went up against Mr. Winchester?

Right then and their, he knew his deputy headmistress was doing this on purpose. This also included ignoring the soon to be former student bullying the fauns, when beacon has a zero tolerance policy against such things. Adding this along with Ms. Rose telling him early that day, about how Mr. Winchester blackmailed Mr. Arc.

Forgery while a white colored crime and a C-class felony at best, punishable form 6 mouths up to 10 years to the max if needed. Blackmail however is an B-class felony punishable to up to 20 years in prison. Not to mention, the so called,'prank' Mr. Winchester tried to pull could and would be consider attempted murder. An A-class felony, that is also punishable by death.

Normal murder charges would't be so severe like this, but it was an unspoken law between huntsman and huntsman in training: Those who deliberately try to kill a fellow hunter, without good reason, is consider a very bad crime. Rapier wasps were no joke and could have very well killed Ms. Nikos had Mr. Arc stopped the boy. The two were different in every way a person could image.

Day and night.

Strong and weak.

However this also included Mr. Arc being the prime example of what a huntsman should be. Honorable, true to there word and a burning desire to help people, human or fauns.

Mr. Winchester...was the opposite.

Sadly.

So with this and Ms. Scarlatina testimony, he gave team CRDL a choice. Have there aura sealed off and be blacklisted form all hunter academy's for their actions OR try there luck in court and with the overwhelming amount of evidence stacked against them, Ozpin guessed the jury would't take ten minutes to decide if their guilty or not.

He gave them the end of the week to decide, but either way he made certain they would not hurt anyone else again.

Anyway, he was anger at the now three man team at there actions and all but demanded an answer as to why?

Why would they act in such a manner to their former leader? It truly boggled the his mind and he wanted a reason as to why. The three remaining members of team JNPR had told him.

It all boiled down to basically Mr. Arc lying and not earning his way into beacon. Despite how they bad they felt, however at the time, team RWBY was in the office and Ruby tried to attack the three. She would have too, had Glynda not restrain the team leader. However, the glaring the three got form the other girls told them one thing.

Their friendship is over.

And Ozpin didn't blame them. Their reasoning was very petty and honestly, hypocritical in his mind. But there was very little anyone could do.

After the two teams left, Ozpin torn into Glynda about her own fault. She tried to deny it, but Ozpin saw through it and called her out on her bias nature. The two fought and almost came to blows, but soon the matter was dropped as did it really matter anymore?

The boy was dead and gone. Something that could have been perverted had Glynda done her job and actually taught the arc boy. Not just pointing out his flaws, but actually helping him move and improve. He gave Glynda(Told her) To take time off and think over what he said.

Hopefully this event will be perverted form happening ever again. But even now, after Mr. Arc's death, that nagging feeling in the back of his mind, telling him that the former arc heir would be something of importance in the future didn't go away. Oh no, it in fact returned ten-fold. Like a raging Goliath in his mind. But he had otehr pressing matters.

Namely dealing with the Arc family.

At this thought, Ozpin's lips pulled back into a thin line. Oh Oum, he wasn't normally a person to hold grudges or even hate someone. Salem not included, but Oum above he actually hated Nichols Arc.

That man in his own belief what he's done is right, got his son killed. His actions had lead all this to come to pass and honestly he could not wait for the man to leave his office and never see him again. But before he left, Nichols told him he never wanted this and would tell his eldest daughter what has happened. Ozpin was more then happy to see him go.

Ozpin sighed, as he looked out the window.

"I'm getting to old for this crap."

With Jaune

The crisp bite of the cold wind would make anyone shiver.

Unless you're a hybrid, to that end means cold and hot don't effect him at all. A thought and fact that made Jaune once again thank the twins for small favors. He arrived in Argus without any trouble and was thankful for it. That didn't mean he could't shake the feeling he was being watched. But he simply shrugged it off as his paranoia form his days as a warrior acting up.

Making his way out of the train station, Jaune looked around the white snow covered city.

Argus was in fact on the boarder line between Mistral and Atlas. It was a small frontier town, with a small Atlas base, that transport things be they items or people to the city itself. Now, you might think Jaune would want to stay far away form Atlas.

Due to him being a half breed and Atlas's history of dealing with things unknown...

Leaves much to be desired to say the least.

But by the twins damnit, Saphron was the only person in the family that didn't treat him like shit and actually tried to help him. After all the years of her helping him, he owned her that much at least to tell her that he was fine.

Walking down the street, with his armor making,"clinks" noise Jaune took in the city. Tall buildings, with steel replacing the wooden building. The streets were filled with chatter and the laughter of children and no one spared a second glance at Jaune.

Which was just fine by him.

No whispers or eyes turning to him in either fear or hate, made the former number 1 feel kinda happy he came back. As far as anyone else was concerned, he ws just another face in the crowd.

Nobody. Not a claymore, sliver eyed witch or monster in waiting, just another person.

"Though, if things go good, that'll change real damn quick." He thought, knowing when, not if, WHEN he stopped Cinder he would't be able to stick to the shadows for long. All eyes be on him, for better or for worse. Never the less, he hoped that meeting his sister would go smoothly.

Oh poor Jaune, you should know by now. Things never go as plan.

"Jaune?"

At that, the now sliver eyed blonde frozen in his steps. He slowly turned his head and saw six girls, a woman and man. All had blonde hair, with lightly tan skin and ocean blue eyes, staring at the former number 1 with wide eyes. He stared with equally wide eyes.

"Dad?"

For anyone.

Hey yo!

Yeah, i know this chapter is a bit short, but i felt like this would be a good stopping point, as i laid down what's going on. I do promise, the chapters will get longer and better, but for now, just enjoy these.

My next update will be either a new story i mentioned on my page or it will be the next chapter of watching the dark Keyblade master of remnant. As i said before the story itself will have many crossover's form different animes and games, as i do think this is an opportunity for a mass crossover and to show everyone just how powerful, how bloody broken a Keyblade wielder's power can become. I really want to focus on that story as i will more then likey need at least three more chapters to complete the viewing story and in turn, the story itself. Here's a couple of those crossover i mentioned:

Nier automata.

Claymore

Sword art online

Wolfenstein series

Final fansty

And that's all i'm saying about that. Some of the stories will be shifted and changed, but not very much. Also iv'e been thinking about renaming the dark keyblade master to the Ultimate Keyblade master of remnant, but i haven't decide yet. Also the snip about Cardin, yeah i'm going to get rid of that son of a bitch as in my mind, he got off way too easy after the forever all episode.

And who's watching Jaune? Is his plan doomed to fail before it begins, not telling~

Find out next chapter!

Devil out.
