Iskandar stood before a sand ring where he watched Jaune practicing swordsman ship with a wooden stick. Iskandar smiled at Jaune as he watched him block several strikes by one of Iskandar's soldiers, Mithrenes. Jaune was tiny compared to the soldier but thanks to Iskandar's orders Mithrenes made sure to at least hold back enough so not to kill Jaune. Iskandar winced though as he watched Mithrenes kick Jaune's legs out from under him as Jaune flip and crashed into the ground with a heavy thump. Iskandar smiled though as Jaune stood up again panting as he brought his sword up ready to go again. 'Good, it's nice to see Jaune improving.' Iskandar thought happily. It has been a year sense Iskandar had arrived into this new world. In that year Iskandar, has done his best to help with Jaune becoming a better fighter after he took him under his wing. Jaune had taken to swordsmanship quiet well.
He also helped Jaune out to look for his mother and sisters. It was difficult but he made sure to help Jaune. As Iskandar thought that he looked up to see Jaune block several strikes by Mithrenes before getting knocked back onto the ground again. Jaune quickly got back to his feet. Iskandar nodded at him impressed by him before figuring it would be best to give him a break.
"Jaune take a break now it's best you don't over work yourself."
Iskandar said as Mithrenes stopped, lowering his wooden sword as he stopped Jaune who did the same.
"Alright I'll rest for now."
Jaune said as he sat down on the ground as he let out a relieved breath, falling onto his back. Iskandar walked over to him smiling down at Jaune.
"So how are you doing?"
Iskandar asked as he sat down crossing his legs.
"Thanks to you I have great teachers."
Jaune said smiling as he sat up.
"Of course, so now that you are resting, we best continue on with your combat history."
Iskandar said as Jaune smiled nodding at him.
"Alright we left off on the Trojan war."
Jaune said as Iskandar smiled at him.
"Yes we did, I am glad you remembered." Iskandar said cupping his chin remembering where he left off. "So I was talking about the battle between Hector and Achilles."
Iskandar said as he began to tell him of how the battle played out.
Present day.
Jaune and Nora rode Bucephalus through the forest trampling over any Grimm that got before the mighty steed with ease. Jaune and Nora both laughed in glee as they rode through the forest as trees zipped by in a flash.
"This is amazing~!"
Nora cheered throwing her hands up as she laughed exuberantly. Jaune just smiled at her joy glad that he had found such an interesting partner.
"I am glad you are enjoying the ride but it looks like we have to disembark here."
Jaune said as he pulled back on the rains as Bucephalus slowed down coming to a stop before a cliff face. Nora booed before looking at the cliff as she saw a cave before her as she looked around to see a painting along the side of the cave.
"Oooh, what's that?"
Nora asked jumping off Bucephalus running towards the cave paintings. Jaune just smiled at her as he pats Bucephalus' side as he jumped off.
"What do you see Nora?"
Jaune asked as he let Bucephalus fade away as he walked over to Nora looking at the cave and the painting.
"I found some art, it looks awesome!"
Nora cheered as Jaune nodded at her as he looked at the panting. It depicted people fighting off a giant scorpion. Jaune cupped his chin in thought as he looked over the painting before turning to the cave and smiled.
"Shall we see what lies within this cave?"
Jaune asked as Nora turned to him cupping her chin as she mimicked his stance staring into the cave. Nora hummed lightly before smiling widely as she turned to Jaune.
"We shall, lead the way Jauney!"
Nora cheered as Jaune smiled at Nora drawing his sword as he stomped his foot pointing his sword towards the cave smiling widely.
"Then let's see what this cave hides!"
Jaune shouted as Nora brought a grenade launcher as she smiled at him.
"Then let's go!"
Nora shouted as she ran into the cave Jaune right behind her. Jaune and Nora charged down the cave for several minutes, nothing happening till a glowing ball of light appeared before them. Jaune and Nora both came to a stop before the light as they shared a look.
"What's that?"
Nora asked as Jaune shrugged before walking up to the light and quickly grabbing hold of it. When he did, the glowing ball tried to pull away but it didn't pull hard enough so Jaune just stood refusing to budge.
"Ooh, Nora it moves it's trying to go farther into the cave."
Jaune said in amazement will Nora just ooed as well coming to look at the ball in Jaune's hand. As she did they both heard a shuffling sound behind the ball farther into the dark as they shared a look.
"What was that?"
Nora asked as Jaune just shrugged.
"I do not know, maybe it's what is pulling at the ball should I let it go?"
Jaune asked as Nora just smiled at him.
"No don't let go, if something wants to play tug a war then we'll win!"
Nora declared as she grabbed the glowing ball along with Jaune. He smiled at her as he turned staring down into the darkness.
"Whatever dares to challenge us to a Tug of war know that we shall win!"
Jaune shouted into the cave while he and Nora gripped the glowing ball and began to pull. Their first pull was easy as they felt little resistance only to hear a scratching noise as they felt a tug and then leaned forward from the strength of the pull. Jaune and Nora both smiled before pulling hard back against the glowing ball as they heard a creaking noise along with a low clicking before the sound of something tearing came to their ears as the then fell back with a heavy thump with the glowing ball in hand as a loud screech echoed down the cave. Jaune and Nora both looked at the glowing ball in their hands as the light of it slowly died down till the ball stopped glowing and a red light came from farther into the cave. They looked down to see the glowing eyes and red markings of some sort of Grimm.
"Well that is interesting."
Jaune said as Nora nodded. The Grimm let out a loud screech as it began to move forward towards them. Jaune just smiled as he wrapped an arm around Nora's waist and turned running down the cave.
"Come and get us if you can!"
Jaune shouted as Nora started to wave her arms violently back at the Grimm.
"Yeah what Jauney said!"
Nora shouted out as she laughed as Jaune carried her over his shoulder out of the cave running quickly. Jaune quickly ran out of the cave throwing Nora up as she laughed as she spun around sliding back towards the trees as he held an arm out catching Nora as she came back down laughing.
"Nora get your weapon ready!"
Jaune order as Nora salutes him as she took out her grenade launcher as it shifted into hammer form while Jaune lowered his stance as he drew his sword aiming the tip of it at the cave. They waited as they heard the rumbling of the Grimm charging out of the cave ripping the boulders around it out as it screeched at them. Jaune smiled as he finally got a good look at what he was facing.
"A Deathstalker, now this will be fun!"
Jaune shouted as the Deathstalker screeched again snapping its pinchers at them. Jaune just smiled as he leveled his sword at his chest.
"Nora I shall be the vanguard and keep its pinchers in check." Jaune said as he readied himself to charge while Nora nodded. "I want you to try and shatter its shell if not then destroy the rest of its tail, it seems that we had already ripped off its stinger but that tail still works like a wipe so it will not be good if we get struck by it."
Jaune said as Nora nodded at him.
"You got it captain I'll break its stuff!"
Nora shouted as she hefted her hammer over her head ready for Jaune to give the order to charge. Jaune smiled at her has he laughed whole heartedly.
"That is what I like to hear, now let's go!"
Jaune shouted as he shot forward Nora right behind him. The deathstalker screeched at them as it swung out with its pinchers snapping at Jaune as he slashed at them knocking them to the side before he came close aiming his sword at its eyes to blind it to keep the beast's focus on him. Jaune smiled as he cut out two of its eyes just as Nora leaped over him bringing her hammer down on its head.
"Smash!"
Nora shouted gleefully as her hammer crashed into the Deathstalker's head forcing its legs to buckle while Jaune slashed out cutting off one of the beast's pinchers. Nora just smiled as she pulled a trigger on her hammer's handle as it fired out an explosive blast sending her flying back away from the Deathstalker's tail as it came wiping around to hit her. Nora easily flipped back away from the tail while Jaune just slashed out with his sword cutting at the tail deflecting it from hitting him as he jumped back next to Nora. Jaune just smiled as the Deathstalker screeched angrily at them, it's right pincher sitting on the ground beside it.
"Nora have you ever heard the saying you be the nail I'll be the hammer?"
Jaune asked as Nora just looked at him confused as he bounced his sword in his hand with a small smile. Nora took a second but she realized what he meant as she gave him a toothy grin.
"Right, you be the nail!"
Nora shouted as Jaune nodded.
"With pleasure!"
Jaune shouted charging at the Deathstalker, quickly sliding under its left pincher as it tried to snap at him. He then jumped up shifting his sword into his left hand while bringing it down in a reversed grip stabbing it into the beast's head. The Deathstalker screeched before swinging its tail at Jaune causing him to smile as he moved towards the tail, easily catching it as it came at him.
"Now Nora!"
Jaune shouted as Nora smiled shooting forward jumping up into the air as she lifted her hammer over her head and swung down at Jaune's sword. Nora's hammer slammed into Jaune's swords pommel sending it clean through the Deathstalker's head killing it. Jaune dropped the Deathstalker's tail as its body fell to the ground with one last dying screech before fading away as he walked over to Nora patting her on the back.
"Well done, we make quite a great team!"
Jaune cheered as Nora smiled, slinging her hammer onto her shoulders throwing a hand forward in a thumb up smiling widely.
"Yep we do!"
Nora cheered happily as she collapsed the hammer into a grenade launcher and put it on her back. Jaune smiled at her as he turned around grabbing his sword from the ground as he turned back to Nora.
"Let's get going, the temple should be somewhere nearby."
Jaune said causing Nora to nod happily as she jumped onto his shoulders.
"Ooh ooh, are we going to ride the horsey?!"
Nora asked happily as she wrapped her arms over his shoulders as she hung off him. He just chuckled as he pats her head as he sheathed his sword.
"Of course."
Jaune said happily as he called Bucephalus back and jumped onto his back with Nora. They rode off into the forest Nora directing Jaune again.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jaune and Nora rode into a large clearing where some ruins stood with Yang and some girl in black standing next to her. Jaune smiled at this as he pointed.
"Oh Nora one of my friends is over there, I think we're in the right place."
Jaune said as Nora nodded at him till they heard screaming as they turned to look up to see Ruby falling out of the sky. Jaune quickly flicked Bucephalus reins as they charged forward leaping up into the air as they flew towards Ruby. Jaune quickly reached his arm out and caught her in the air landing down as Nora cheered happily as she jumped pumping a fist into the air.
"That was awesome!" Nora shouted happily as she wrapped her arms over him looking down at Ruby who sat in Jaune's lap. Ruby just stared wide eyed as she looked around before looking up to Jaune. He just smiled at her as he jumped off Bucephalus as Nora did the same. Nora just smiled as she hugged Bucephalus around his neck. "Nice catch horsey!"
Nora cheered as Jaune sat Ruby down as he just pat Nora's head.
"His name is Bucephalus Nora, not horsey."
Jaune said Nora just smiled at him nodding as she continued to pet Bucephalus. Ruby just turned to stare at the horse and then back to Jaune.
"How did you…?"
Ruby began to talk only to stop as Yang shot over wrapping Ruby in a tight hug.
"Oh my god Ruby you are ok?!"
Yang shouted as she lifted Ruby up looking Ruby over. Jaune just smiled at the sight as he turned to his left as the girl in black walked up beside him.
"Hello, who might you be?"
Jaune asked as he looked to the girl who just passed a sideward glance to him.
"Blake."
She answered turning away from him as she looked back to Yang but seemed to keep Jaune in her peripherals. Jaune raised a brow at Blake as he looked her over. 'She looks familiar.' Jaune thought wondering where he had seen her before. He lost that train of thought though when Ruby shouted.
"I'm ok Yang but where's Weiss!"
Ruby shouted as Jaune turned to look at her as she started looking around till she looked straight up. Everyone else did the same as they saw a Nevermore flying. Jaune just chuckled as he turned to Bucephalus as he neighed. Jaune nodded and quickly jumped onto the horse's back.
"You wait here Nora I will go and get Ruby's partner."
Jaune said Nora nodded happily at him giving a salute as Jaune turned patting Bucephalus' side.
"Let's go!"
Jaune shouted as he snapped the reins and Bucephalus took off trampling across the ground as he started to ride till they flew up into the air towards the Nevermore. It took only seconds to reach the beast in the sky as he drew his sword when he saw Weiss hanging from its feet. He just smiled as he flew under the Nevermore towards Weiss.
"Weiss let go now!"
Jaune called as Weiss turned in shock before nodding as she let go of the beast's talons as she fell off flying back towards Jaune. He caught her quickly shifting her behind him as he slashed out cutting along the Nevermore's belly causing the bird to screech in pain. The strike didn't do as much damage as Jaune had hopped as he pulled Bucephalus' reins as they turned in the air away from the beast as it tried to catch them with its talons. Jaune just smiled as he pulled on the reins for Bucephalus to slow down so they were behind the Nevermore when he smiled and snapped the reins as they sped up, lighting flying out from Bucephalus' hovels as they then rode onto the back of the Nevermore trampling along it.
"Come Bucephalus you can do better than that!"
Jaune shouted as he slashed down at the Nevermore's back cutting along it as Bucephalus' hooves ripped feathers and flesh from the beast's back. They flew off it as they rode through the air now circling the Nevermore as it tried to fire its feathers at them. Jaune easily deflected them while Weiss just screamed from behind him. He wasn't sure what she was on about but it sounded like she was telling him to go down. He thought about it for a second as he deflected feather after feather till he smiled widely as he snapped the reins on Bucephalus.
"We will attack if from below, now dive Bucephalus!"
Jaune shouted as the horse did a nose dive and then went straight up, Weiss screaming her head off as she clung onto Jaune. Bucephalus charged so fast that when Jaune passed it from below slashing out they split the Nevermore in two with a loud crack of thunder from Bucephalus' hooves. They flew into the air before turning back to the ground descending slowly till they landed before Yang, Blake, Ruby, Nora, Pyrrha and a boy Jaune didn't recognize. Seems Pyrrha and the boy had shown up while Jaune and Weiss where in the air.
"Hello Pyrrha, who is this? Your partner I take it?"
Jaune said as he jumped off Bucephalus, Weiss clinging onto him muttering incoherently. Everyone just stared at Jaune in shock not sure what to say or do as they all looked lost. Expect Nora who was just staring starry eyed.
"Jaune that was amazing!"
Nora shouted throwing her hands into the air smiling so wide that Jaune was afraid her face would split in two. Jaune just laughed smiling back at her.
"It was, wasn't it?!"
Jaune shouted as he began to laugh everyone just staring in shock. Ruby though was busy trying to pull Weiss off Jaune as she clung to him like a cicada. Jaune and Nora seemed like the only people to be unfazed by the who ordeal while everyone else just couldn't comprehend what they saw. After several minutes of laughter, the boy who had to be Pyrrha's partner just sighed tiredly rubbing a hand over his face.
"This is how world ends, isn't it?"
The boy asked only for Nora to wrap an arm around him pulling him down.
"Come on Ren this is going to be great!"
Nora shouted Jaune giving her a thumb up before taking a deep breath and shouting.
"THIS IS OUR FIRST CHAMPAIGN AND IT IS OUR VICTORY!"
Jaune shouted at the top of his lungs his voice echoing throughout the forest. Jaune just smiled at everyone ready for the test to be over.
