Iskandar stood on the edge of a cliff staring out over a forest with the sea just beyond it. Iskandar had a smile on his lips. It has been two years now sense he showed up on Remnant. In those past two years Iskandar had learned quite a bit about the world as it was and met many interesting people. Not only had he learned and seen new things in this new world, he also had a surprisingly good time raising his new son.
"So the sea here leads off to a new country. What was it called again?"
Iskandar asked turning to Jaune standing next to him. Jaune was dressed in a black long sleeve shirt with black pants. He also had a red caught on with a gladius like sword on his hip. Jaune cupped his chin in thought to his father's question.
"I believe it was called Sanus." Jaune said pointing out to the sea. "I heard a story from my dad that Sanus is full of deserts with large o-oieses."
Jaune said having trouble with the last word. Jaune seemed sad when he mentioned his father but quickly changed when he got a laugh from Iskandar.
"Oasis'?" Iskandar asked getting a vigorous happy nod from Jaune. "That reminds me of my old home Macedonia."
Iskandar said causing Jaune's eyes to sparkle.
"Really, then let's go!"
Jaune cheered getting a smile from Iskandar.
"Easy Jaune we will go to Sanus someday but for now we need to keep your training going."
Iskandar said patting Jaune on the head.
"Alright, well we better get started?"
Jaune said with a smile. Iskandar just laughed joyously quickly clapping Jaune on the back making him stager forward some.
Present day
Jaune stood beside his partner Nora with her childhood friend Ren beside her. Beside Ren was his partner Pyrrha. Before them all stood the headmaster, who was busy naming off their team.
"From this day forward you four shall make up team JNPR." Ozpin paused to look over Jaune and his team. "You shall be led by… Jaune Arc."
Ozpin said causing Jaune to smile while Nora jumped onto his shoulders happily. Jaune didn't seem to care as he just smiled back at Nora.
"Nice job Jaune!"
Nora cheered with a bright smile hanging off Jaune. Ren just shook his head at his child hood friend's actions but seemed relieved that Nora wasn't on him. Pyrrha just gave a polite smile at Jaune and Nora. Ozpin went onto end the team naming ceremony. After that Ozpin excused the teams so they could all go to their rooms soon. Jaune just smiled at this as he carried Nora away on his shoulders with Ren and Pyrrha beside him.

Jaune walked into his team's new dorm a smile on his lips as he looked over the place. Behind Jaune stood Pyrrha, Ren and Nora who sat on Ren's shoulders.
"So this is our room?"
Nora asked from Ren's shoulders getting a nod from Jaune. Jaune walked into the room Pyrrha right behind him both looking at everything.
"This is a good room, and we get to spend time together and get to know each other more now that we share a room."
Jaune said turning to Pyrrha with a smile.
"That is true; we should share something about ours."
Pyrrha said causing Jaune to snap his fingers as he pointed at her.
"Right why don't I go first?"
Jaune said throwing his arms to the side getting a chuckle from Pyrrha. Nora quickly bounced up over a bed towards Jaune.
"No I want to go first."
Nora said a small pout getting a laugh out of Jaune.
"Sure why not."
Jaune said smiling at Nora as he waved her to share something.
"Alright, well I am Nora Valkyrie… wait you already know that, oh I know I love explosions and pink!"
Nora cheered causing Jaune and Pyrrha to laugh at her.
"Alright let me share now."
Pyrrha said getting a nod from Nora and Jaune. Ren just waved her to present.
"Well I guess I will start like Nora did." Pyrrha said with a smile getting a chuckle from Jaune. "Well I come from Mistral and my semblance is polarity."
Pyrrha said sheepishly while she looked down to the floor.
"Well now that is a pretty nice semblance." Jaune said only to pause cupping his chin in thought. "Well in all honesty though if you have a semblance like that what good is it against the Grimm who don't have metal on them."
Jaune said waving a hand to the side getting a nod from Pyrrha.
"That is a valid point, but you see I wear metal armor so I can use my semblance to put more power behind my attacks."
Pyrrha said getting a nod from Jaune.
"Well let's move onto someone else, Ren would you like to share?"
Jaune asked pointing at his silent teammate. Ren just shrugged before walking up into the center of room.
"Well I'm self-trained in martial arts and I grew up with Nora."
Ren said giving a bow before walking over to his bed and sitting down. Nora just cheered as she bounced over to Ren wrapping him in a hug.
"Yep Ren's like a ninja! You should have seen him when he was younger. He would practice his kicks, only to fall over every time."
Nora said laughing while Ren just rolled his eyes at her.
"If I remember Nora you asked me to teach you to do a high kick once and you ended up ripping your pants in front of everyone from the orphanage."
Ren quipped causing Nora to blush madly.
"I told you to never tell anyone about that!"
Nora shouted embarrassedly slamming her fists onto Ren as she hid her face in his chest. Jaune and Pyrrha laughed at the display. Jaune smiled at his partner and her childhood friend fondly. 'He said orphanage, best not push them for more just yet.' Jaune thought before shooting to his feet throwing his arms wide.
"Well then now that you all got to share something allow me to share as well!" Jaune cheered looking over his team. Nora pushed down her blush pulling her head from Ren's chest. Pyrrha just sat on her bed ready to hear about Jaune smiling at him. Ren nodded at Jaune. "Alright, well Pyrrha already knows this but I hail from New Macedonia and my father is King Alexander or as he prefers to be called…" Jaune paused for effect before shouting. "Iskandar the King of Conquerors!"
Jaune shouted exaggeratedly as he stuck a pose throwing his hands to his hips, smiling wide at the ceiling. Pyrrha just clapped at Jaune's little display having already known who he was from her first encounter with him. Ren and Nora on the other had varying reactions. Ren was that of shock and slight confusion. He had heard of Macedonia; he just didn't know that Macedonia worked on a monarchy. Ren just stared in shock at his team leader who turned out to be a prince. Nora just stared in amazement her eyes sparkling as she shot to her feet jumping over to Jaune.
"Oh my god does that mean you have a castle?!"
Nora asked excitedly causing Jaune to laugh.
"Of course."
Jaune said happily ruffling Nora's hair. Ren shook off his shock quickly while also rolling his eyes at Nora's question. Pyrrha just laughed at the display before telling them all that they should get some sleep. They all agreed and moved off to their own beds calling it a day.

Ozpin walked down the stone paths on Beacons grounds, lamp posts hanging over head illuminating the path. Ozpin walked slowly down the path his cane clicking lightly on the stone path. As he walked the path the lamps light flickered as a loud thumping could be heard. Ozpin stopped in the middle of the path looking around to see where the thumping came from. Ozpin stared confused when he saw nothing only to hear the thumping get louder. 'That sounds like a stampede.' Ozpin thought till he turned and looked up to see something unreal. Before Ozpin rode down from the sky was a giant chariot pulled by two giant oxen walking through the sky on lightning. Ozpin just stared in both shock and confusion before taking his glasses off and rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Ozpin just watched in shock after he put his glasses back on as the chariot landed before him. On the chariot stood a giant man with large muscles that scream strength. He had blazing red hair and beard. He had on bronze armor cuffs and greaves with fringes that leaves his arms and thighs unprotected.
Ozpin just stared as the large man jumped down from the chariot. The man towered over Ozpin standing over two meters tall. Ozpin had to admit the man before him had an aura that screamed power.
"Well hello there, who might you be?"
The giant man asked smiling widely at Ozpin.
"Hello sir, my name is Ozpin. I am the headmaster of this academy." Ozpin said nodding at the giant. "Who are you?"
Ozpin asked waving a hand at him causing the man to laugh jovially.
"My name is Iskandar!" The man shouted at the top of his lungs his. His voice echoed throughout the dead courtyard while Ozpin stared at him in shock. "That or Alexander, seeing as people prefer that to Iskandar."
Iskandar said waving his hand to the side dismissively. Ozpin just coughed into his hand as he fixed his collar.
"Well then, you are the king of New Macedonia?" Ozpin said getting a nod from Iskandar. "So then what do I owe this great honor of meeting you?"
Ozpin said getting a chuckle from Iskandar.
"Well that is pretty nice to hear." Iskandar said turning to look over the academy. "I must say this place is pretty grand for a school."
Iskandar said smiling at Ozpin who just nodded at him.
"Well thank you for the complement, but I doubt you came to our academy to simply complement it."
Ozpin said causing Iskandar to laugh jovially.
"You are right for two reasons."
Iskandar said causing Ozpin to raise a brow at him questionably.
"What are those reasons?"
Ozpin asked causing Iskandar to smile at him.
"I came to see how my son did on his initiation."
Iskandar said with a proud smile.
"Your son?" Ozpin said before a certain blonde with a flying horse came to mind. "So your son, that wouldn't happen to be Jaune Arc, would it?"
Ozpin asked getting a surprised look from Iskandar.
"Really now, you know him?"
Iskandar asked getting a nod from Ozpin.
"Yes I had just been with him a few minutes ago."
Ozpin said getting a wide smile from Iskandar.
"Now, tell me did he pass your test I heard you put the students through?"
Iskandar asked as he smiled at Ozpin.
"Yes he did, he also was appointed as leader of his own team."
Ozpin said causing Iskandar to laugh exuberantly as he quickly claps his hands onto Ozpin's shoulders.
"I knew he had it in him, thank you for telling me that!" Iskandar cheered before turning and looking around the path they were on. "So tell me where is he, I would love to see him?"
Iskandar said looking around as if he might see his son just by chance.
"I am sorry but its late, so all the students might be asleep right now."
Ozpin said getting a disappointed look from Iskandar.
"Oh shame I really wanted to congratulate him and meet his team." Iskandar said sadly only to brighten up a second later. "Oh well I can congratulate him tomorrow!"
Iskandar shouted with a laugh as he turned smiling widely at the sky. Ozpin just stared at Iskandar in confusion before he coughed into his hand to get Iskandar's attention.
"I am sorry but you said there were two reasons you came here, one was your son." Ozpin said waving his hand at Iskandar. "What was the second reason you came?"
Ozpin asked getting a wide toothy smile from Iskandar.
"I happen to have proposition for you. Care to hear it?"
Iskandar asked getting a questioning look from Ozpin.
"Yes, but why don't we head to my office to talk about this "Proposition"."
Ozpin said waving a hand towards the emerald tower in the center of the school. Iskandar smiled at this as he quickly waved a hand at the chariot causing it to fade away.
"Lead the way then."
Iskandar said letting Ozpin take the lead so he could follow him towards the tower. Ozpin just walked on down the stone path wondering what this proposition Iskandar had for them.

The next morning Jaune woke up before dawn to do some early morning training. Jaune walked out of his room dressed in his normal gear. Jaune walked out of the dorm building where he did some stretching and began to run around the school. Jaune took a running stance in front of the dorm building where he then took off in a sprint. Jaune ran as fast as he could, pushing himself as he easily lapped the entire school in under 8 minutes when it would take a normal person an hour. He continued his run doing 7 more laps before coming to a stop back in front of the dorms panting some as he did. He quickly took several deep breaths before moving off to the side of the building. He went on to do some exercise from there doing a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit ups and a hundred pull ups. After he finished his all his exercises he was sweating some as he took a few breaths to take a break. 'Alright time to get some actual training done.' Jaune thought with a smile as he closed his eyes and called upon the Ionian Hetairoi.
After a minute a purple flame formed on the ground before him. The flame grew till it turned into the form of a man. Jaune smiled at the Roman soldier who now stood before him.
"Been a while hasn't it Mithrenes?" Jaune smiled at one of his long-time teachers. "When was the last time you and I trained together?"
Jaune asked reaching his hand out clapping it against Mithrenes' forearm while he did the same.
"A few months back if I remember correctly."
Mithrenes said with a small smile.
"Really now, well then shall we get some training done?"
Jaune asked getting a smile from Mithrenes as he nodded quickly materializing a sword in hand. Jaune just smiled at him as he drew his sword and the two men prepared to fight.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jaune walked back into his dorm room stretching his arms as he winced a little. 'Damn Mithrenes never holds, back does he?' Jaune thought glad he could get some training in the morning. Jaune had spent 3 hours total with his run and then his training with Mithrenes. Jaune just smiled as he walked past his partner sleeping on her bed, arms and legs spread wide drool dripping off the side of her face. He just chuckled kneeling down using her blanket and whipped her drool off her face. Jaune patted Nora's head and moved towards the bathroom to quickly shower before everyone woke up. Jaune took 10 minutes to shower then dried off and got dressed. When he walked out of the bathroom he was met with the sight of Pyrrha waking up.
"Good morning."
Jaune said lightly so not to wake the others. Pyrrha on the other hand didn't seem to mind waking them as she yelped turning to look at Jaune in shock. She quickly covered her mouth and looked to Ren and Nora to see if she had woken them up. Luckily she didn't. She turned back to Jaune a surprised look on her face.
"Why are you up so early?"
Pyrrha asked causing Jaune to chuckle.
"I am surprised you are asking me that when you are awake as well."
Jaune shot at Pyrrha, causing her to roll her eyes at him as she stood up.
"Very funny, I'm just surprised that you were awake before me." Pyrrha said walking over to a dresser in the corner of the room. "Normally no one ever wakes up before me."
Pyrrha said looking over Jaune.
"Well I normally wake up early to get some training and exercise done."
Jaune said getting a nod from Pyrrha.
"That's good but you shouldn't work yourself to hard."
Pyrrha said getting a shrug from Jaune.
"No worries, I only work myself till I drop on the weekends."
Jaune quipped causing Pyrrha to roll her eyes at him. Pyrrha just went on to shower herself while Jaune figured he would just wait till the rest of his team woke up. It didn't take long for the rest of his team to wake up as within an hour all three of his teammates were up and showered. Jaune was about to speak up to his team as Ren walked out of the bathroom. He stopped though as shouting echoed from across the hall. Jaune looked to his team confused getting a shrug from his team. They all quickly ran to the door opening the door to see Weiss running down the hall the rest of team RWBY chasing after her.
"I guess we should follow." Jaune said as he quickly grabbed hold of Nora throwing her onto his shoulders. "Charge!"
Jaune shouted running out of the room Pyrrha and Ren behind him. Nora cheering happily as she pointed forward as Jaune sprinted out of the dorms. Jaune quickly caught up with team RWBY, his team hot on his heels as they ran down the courtyards quickly passing Ozpin and his vice headmistress. It seemed that the vice headmistress was shouting at Ozpin for something but Jaune couldn't tell what for. 'I wonder what that is about?' Jaune thought as he and his team continued to run on towards their class.

Jaune and his team sat down next to Pyrrha, letting Nora sit on his left. In front of them on the row below sat team RWBY. Weiss seemed to be scolding Ruby now so Jaune could only give Ruby an apologetic look. Beside her Jaune could see Yang doing the same. Jaune passed a glance to Blake only to see her reading. He just chuckled at this as he turned to look over everything else in the class. He saw chalk drawings of Grimm on the chalkboards and a bust of some man with an impressive mustache. While Jaune looked everything over his attention was drawn to the door as it swung open slamming into the wall with a bang. Jaune just stared in confusion turning to Pyrrha and Nora for an answer only to see them shrug. They all looked to the door as a large cage was rolled into the room. A small portly man pushing the cage in kicking the door shut.
The man had short gray hair with large puffy eyebrows and a magnificent mustache. The man was dressed in a double breasted brown coat with gold trim. He had on brown pants that were tucked into his olive-green boots. The man quickly pushed the cage into the corner of the room before walking back to the center of the room.
"Hello class I am Professor Peter Port, it is nice to me-..."
Peter began only to stop as the door to the room was kicked open again, only this time it went flying across the room behind the professor. Everyone in the class just stared in shock at this except for Jaune who looked almost excited to see what was going to happen. In the doorway, a hand came through grabbing hold of its frame as a giant man slowly entered the room. Everyone in the room just stared in shock as they watched a giant man with blazing red hair and beard. Everyone just stared wide eyed at the giant man while Jaune just smiled widely at the sight of the man.
"Hello class!" The giant man cheered throwing his arms out wide presenting himself to the class. "I am Iskandar, your new strategy teacher!"
Iskandar shouted at the top of his lungs making anyone in the front of the class to cover their ears in hopes of not losing their hearing. Nora and Jaune seemed to be the only people to be ok with this as they smiled widely at Iskandar. Jaune just shot to his feet slamming one foot onto his desk throwing his arms wide just like Iskandar did.
"Father!"
Jaune shouted causing everyone in the class to stare at him in shock as well. Jaune just smiled at his father, not caring about the stares he was getting.
