Hey what's up ladies and gentlemen, Silver here. I love all of you guys! Over 30 follow and near 30 favs in 1 day! That is crazy. Anyway, this chapter is uploaded late because I slipped on my apartment staircase and fell 3 flights of stairs, knocking myself unconscious. I was unconscious for 2 days. So sorry for the delay, anyway, I'm not sick anymore. Chapters will be a lot faster to upload so yeah. Let the chapter begin!

Chapter 1: Initiative

Nothing much happened. Weiss yells at Ruby again, Ozpin gives his speech, Goodwitch tells us where we sleep, and Weiss arguing with Yang at night. It is now the next morning. Jaune wakes up and sees that most people are getting ready already. His sleep ware was nothing different at all from his original clothing. Just without the overcoat for his tux and the tie is gone. After about 10 minutes, Jaune was ready to go, now with his overcoat and tie. He didn't need to go to the locker rooms, but he wanted to see what cute girls there are and at the same time see the competition. He already knows that Ruby, Blake, Weiss, and Pyrrha are in, but whom else. Suddenly, a pair of people came pass him. The girl was chatting nonstop while the guy in green just listened.

'I feel sorry for the poor dude, she might be cute, but she talks too much.' Thinks Jaune as the 2 gets out of his sight. Suddenly he hears shouting from the locker room. He looks around to see a blond well developed girl talking to Ruby about 'Breaking Shells?' Jaune mental asks.

"If you want to break shells, I recommend a hammer." Jaune says as he approaches them.

"Very funny Jaune." Ruby says with a pout. Jaune then suddenly had to hold back an urge to hug Ruby with the cute damn face, but the blonde did not.

"Aww, you look so cute like that Ruby!"

"YANG LET ME GO!"

"But you look so cute!"

"Noooo!"

"Ok fine."

"Now that you two are done, Ruby mind introducing me to this lovely lady here?"

"Aren't you a charmer?" Yang asks with a grin.

"I aim to please." Jaune responds.

"Jaune this is Yang, Yang this is Jaune."

"Oh, you're the one Ruby kept talking about last night!" Yang exclaims.

"Oh really? Ruby did you miss me that much?" Jaune teases. Ruby only blushes and tries to retaliate, but couldn't form proper words. Yang and Jaune only laughs at the reaction.

"Now it's nice to meet you, Yang, but I got to see who else is taking the initiative." Jaune says as he turns around to leave.

"Same goes for me! See you later!" Yang yells.

Jaune looks around for more interesting people and finally spots Weiss trying to get Pyrrha on her team. "Hey Snow Angel! Hey Pyrrha!"

"Hello" responds Pyrrha, but all Weiss did was scream "YOU AGAIN!"

"Now, don't be like that. I know you enjoyed me yesterday, I know Pyrrha did!" was all Jaune said.

Pyrrha and Weiss blushes at the misunderstanding meaning of his sentence. "We never did such a thing!" Weiss yells.

"What are you talking about? I was talking about the conversation we had yesterday. Don't tell me, you wanted that to happen?" Jaune says with a smug smile.

"I…I…No…N…" Weiss had her face entirely red, not being able to form complete sentences. Pyrrha only sighed, now understanding what he meant. After the 3 females near him had left, she had approached him. They had a 1-sided conversation where she kept blushes at his praises.

"Nice to see you not all red faced like yesterday. Maybe you can now speak?" Jaune says after Weiss had completely shut down and was now mumbling words quietly that they couldn't hear.

"Well, I guess I'm sorry about yesterday." Pyrrha says as she thinks 'Thou I have no idea what I'm sorry for.'

"Not a problem, I get that kind of reaction every time!"

"I think I know why…"

"Now, I know when someone has taken an interest in me. I'm not dense, especially when it's you that approached me." Jaune says as he took 1 step farther. Not knowing why, Pyrrha also stepped by 1 step. Jaune takes another step, Pyrrha backs up 1 more step. Jaune takes a 3rd step and once again Pyrrha steps back, but her back ends up onto the locker. Taking action quickly, Jaune walks up and puts his right arm next to her head and places his left hand onto her chin and lefts her face to look at him straight into the eye. "You know I don't mind right?"

Jaune then moves his face closer. Pyrrha's heart pounds at a rapid pace. Her face was flustered and red as Crescent Rose. Her thoughts were going all over her mind, but one thought struck her, 'I'M NOT READY FOR THIS.' She had not mentally or physically prepared herself for her first kiss to be taken quite so suddenly. She closes her eyes as she notices Jaune's face now close enough for a single movement for a kiss to happen. Near them, Yang, Ruby, and Weiss watch it slowly happen. Suddenly, they see Jaune pull away at the last second. Pyrrha noticed that also and opened her eyes to see Jaune's face with a amused smile.

"You know, you're going to have to try harder than that for me to kiss you right?" Jaune asks, amused. Pyrrha could not respond, she slumps down onto the floor as she tries to make sense of what had just occurred a few seconds ago. Her heart was still pounding nonstop. Weiss, for some odd reason let out a sigh of relief and a breath she did not know she was holding. Why? She did not know.

"Nice going there lady killer!" Yang yells. Jaune only shrugs and leaves the locker room as the PA system announces where they were to report for the initiative.

***Please Review***

By the time Pyrrha arrives, everyone else was already there. She had taken a bit of time to understand the event that had occurred to her. Now she can't look at Jaune without blushing. Ozpin gives a speech about how they are being paired up (A big shock to Ruby), and what their goals were. Jaune standing all the way at the end waits for his turn; he pulls out a sunglass that like Yang had pulled out. What he did not expect was Ozpin to start from his end first. Fixing himself in midair, he soars as his as he can, before the altitude starts dropping. From his height, he sees Ruby and Yang using their weapon's recoil to their advantage. For some odd reason, no one saw how Jaune landed, other than the huge explosion indicating that he did land at all. How? That was a mystery for them. Ruby was paired up with Weiss, the overly hyper girl in pink was with the guy in green, Yang and Blake had hit it off despite the difference in personality, while Jaune had met up Pyrrha, much to her shock and nonstop blushes she gets when she looks Jaune in the face. Traveling together in silence, Pyrrha tries to get her thoughts together and stop the pounding of her heart. Jaune on the other hand, was whistling a tune while looking around. His posture said he was relaxed, but his face and the tension of his body tell her he's on alert. Suddenly, a Nevermore flies overhead with a strange white and red on it. Examining more closely, they see Ruby and Weiss hanging on for their dare life on the Nevermore.

"Aww, Ruby's so lucky. I want to ride a Nevermore too." Jaune says in a childish tone. Pyrrha only wonders exactly what his true personality is. First he acts like a boy who takes too much attention on the opposite gender, and then he acts more mature as if he was a trained Huntsmen, and now he's all childish. Behind then came an explosion of trees. They turn in time to see a Deathstalker running behind them. Acting quickly both of them started to run.

***Please Review***

Pyrrha and Jaune ran as fast as they can from the Deathstalker, but it stayed on their tail. In front of them was a cliff, but behind they see Yang and Blake at a ruins behind the cliff. Not stopping, both ran faster towards the cliff. Normally, people would stop and see the height of the fall before they jump, but they were not normal people. Both jumped at the same time down the cliff. Lucky for them thus if they didn't the Deathstalker's pincher would have gotten them. Falling at the rate of 30 feet per second at a 500 feet drop both had to do something or become a big red puddle at the bottom of the cliff. Pyrrha takes out her sword/javelin/rifle and turns it into its javelin form. She then shoves it into the cliff wall. The speed of the drop slowly declines as she slides down rapidly. When the speed drops to a slow speed and she was nearly at the ground she turns to see Jaune still falling at a fast rate.

"JAUNE!" she shouts in alarm. Jaune only grins as he takes out what seems to be fingerless gloves. It was black and like the name suggests, it was fingerless. It was plain besides the white line running up each finger at the back of the glove. The lines go from the base up to the tip where the fingerless glove ends. Strangely enough, the middle of the back of the glove had a white circle. Any line that was there simply merges into the circle. Suddenly the circle changes from a white circle into a star image. Before a Jaune hits the ground he rises his right hand straight in front of him. He shouted something, but a huge explosion at where Jaune fell zoned it out. When the dust cleared, Jaune was on one knee in the middle on the crater. Pyrrha examines closely, to see the star image gone from the glove's circle and back to its original from. Did the symbol have to do with his ability? Suddenly they hear a "HEADS UP!" and they look up to see Ruby falling straight at Yang. However Yang was still busy trying to piece everything together. Jaune suddenly gets into a jumping position and jumps. At the position where he was on the ground was a small crater created from the jump. Jaune flies at where he thinks Ruby's course is headed and meets her there. He catches her in a bride style and continues his course downward. He lands next to Yang who had gotten out of her confusion of what Jaune had done (Which was survive a 500 feet drop by doing nothing but putting his right arm in front of him) and ran to hug her little sister. At the same time a Ursa roar could be heard. As the roar had stated, an Ursa came out of the forest, but was a very peculiar sight. The hyper girl was on it, riding it, with the boy in green holding on for his dear life. The said boy gets a chance to take a breather when the Ursa drops dead quite literally. The hyper girl runs up, takes a white rook piece and starts singing, 'I'm the Queen of the Castle.'

"NORA!" yells the boy. So we know now her name is Nora.

"Coming Ren." So the boy is Ren.

Suddenly they heard a shout. "How can you leave me here!" yells Weiss as she still was on the Nevermore.

"I said Jump!" Ruby replies back. The others watch the heiress fall. The only one who took action was Jaune. He jumps at where he thinks her trajectory will get her and grabs her into a bride style. Unlike the last time, Weiss was much higher than where Ruby was. Panicking, Weiss forgets about her glyphs. The ground approaches at a fast pace. Weiss only closes her eye, waiting for the doom awaiting them. Her mind was ready but her heart convinced her otherwise. 'I DON"T WANT TO DIE!' screamed her heart. Jaune like before puts his right hand in front of him. He screams something, but it fell into deaf ears when the explosion happens. The group only saw a quick white flash of light before the explosion happened. The cloud of dust cleared, another crater had formed, and Weiss and Jaune were standing in the middle of it.

"I guess angels really do fall from the sky." Jaune says casually as if he didn't just survive to falls that would've killed most Huntsmen. Weiss didn't retorted to his comment, but merely blushed into a new shade of red. The sun had shined onto Jaune, making his hair glow and along with the smile; Weiss could only think, 'Handsome…'

"Are you guys ok?" asks Ruby

"We're fine!" replies Jaune. As they arrive to the group, the Deathstalker from before crashed through the trees.

"Great now we can all die together." Yang says.

"Not if I can help it." Ruby says as she rushes in with great speed towards the Deathstalker. She, however, did not expect the armor of the Grimm was hard enough that Crescent Rose couldn't pierce it. Unfortunately for her, the Nevermore had returned and had shot its feathers at her. She ran, but one of the feathers caught her red hood. Behind her, the Deathstalker raised its stinger, ready to kill.

"RUBY!" yells Yang as she ran as fast as she can towards her sister. Weiss had also tried to attempt to reach her in time, but couldn't. The group was about to witness a death until a blur ran pass both Weiss and Yang. The blur had kicked up a bit of dust behind it, blinding Yang and Weiss. When the blur reached its destination, a explosion of dust exploded as it abruptly stops. The dust cloud had covered up where Ruby was. Before the blur had reached, they all saw the girl put her arms in front of her. However, they all, including Ruby, heard a voice yell, "Eclipse!" When the dust cleared, a white glyph of sort was in front… Jaune! He had his hand out, and the middle of the glyph was exactly where it was.

(A/N I named the defense move Eclipse because eclipse means 'to cover', which I think is the perfect name for a barrier type like defense.)

"You got to be more careful you know that Red?" Jaune states as he turn to face Ruby. A wind blew through, making Jaune's hair flutter around. He finishes his sentence with a smile. The thought that went through Weiss's head went through Ruby's. She only blushed and looks down. Jaune, not caring, picks her up bride style and hops away from the Grimm. Breaking out of its daze, it roars in anger, that it let its prey get away. The glyph disperses right after.

"Holy Shit, what the hell was that Jaune?" ask Yang.

"One of my defense, Eclipse."

"Eclipse?" Blake questions.

"I call it Eclipse. Eclipse means 'to cover' so I thought it would be a fitting name for a barrier that Coversme and/or a bunch of people."

"Is that how you survive those falls?" Pyrrha asked.

"Yep, Eclipse prevents most harm from reaching me. You'll need a blast or something like it powerful enough to break through it." Jaune replies with a confident grin. A roar from the Nevermore reminded that they were still in the initiative.

"Ozpin only said we need to get the relic, not fight them. We just need to get a chess piece and get up that cliff." Said Weiss.

"She's correct, but he did say to destroy everything in our paths." Jaune said.

"Only when they get in our way. If we're fast enough we should be able to do this without fighting." The boy named Ren said.

"Alright! Now let's go!" Ruby exclaims as she took a white knight piece, while I took a white rook. She ran up ahead of the group and motions us to follow quickly. Grinning, I only ran after her. 'This one, she has a lot of potential. She just needs to get more experience and learn to utilize her strength.' Was all Jaune thought.

***Please Review***

The Nevermore was smart enough to patrol the ruins under the cliff. Quickly hiding behind pillars that were there, the group waited patiently. But that was all in vain when the Deathstalker crashes through the trees behind them.

"RUN!" someone yelled. The group got up to the middle of the ruins, but they still had the Deathstalker to worry about.

"Nora! Distract it." Ren ordered. Nora took out what could be called a grenade launcher. She dodges all the feathers shot at her and counter stacks with her own projectiles. Pink explosions hit the Nevermore as the grenades explode upon impact. However, she didn't notice the Deathstalker behind her. Luckily Blake and Ren were watching her back. They both slashed at the Deathstalker who took no damage, but it did distract it from Nora. They group ran across the bridge quickly, but the Nevermore had other ideas. It crushed into the bridge, separating the group, Ruby, Yang, Weiss, Nora, and Jaune on one side while the other side held Blake, Pyrrha, and Ren.

"We need to get over there." Nora says as she watch her best friend get knock back by a pincher.

"I can't make this jump in anyway. Do you have any idea how to get…?" Jaune trails off as he sees Nora's grenade launcher turn into a hammer. Preparing himself, Nora slams the hammer down, launching Jaune up in the air and she used the recoil of her weapon to get her across. Jaune landed on his feet, but Nora landed near the Grimm. Taking her chance, she slammed down her hammer onto the Grimm's head. The Deathstalker only roared out in anger. It struck its stinger right where Nora landed, but she blocked it. However, she was not prepared for the strength behind the stinger so she got knocked back right into Blake. Blake stumbles and falls off the bridge, but a few seconds latter, Jaune sees something shoot out from where Blake fell and the something hooked onto a part of the bridge. Deciding that Blake was alright, Jaune joins the fight with Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha. The outcome was not what he expected. The Deathstalker had used its stinger and Ren got onto it. Ren released a barrage of bullets onto the joint that connects the tail and the large stinger, but before it could be destroyed he was thrown off. Pyrrha and Nora was occupied by a pincher for each of them. Jaune takes his chance to help, but another Grimm intercepted him and took him to another battleground. It was a Taint Golem. 7 feet tall, made of rocks that are a mix of purple and black color, its red eyes pierced into Jaune soul. The golem opened its mouth and roared. With that it charged straight towards Jaune. Meanwhile, Pyrrha had directed the group to finish off the Deathstalker and had watched Ruby drag a Nevermore up a cliff as a human slingshot. Both groups watch Jaune battle the Taint Golem.

Jaune jumped to the left when the golem charged. 'Damn it! Last time I remember, Taint Golems are Rank 4 in the Grimm measurement scale. But this one is way too fast to be a Taint Golem. This one's at least a Rank 3.' Jaune thinks. He needed to find a way to kill the Grimm, or he might actually die.

Explanation Corner

What Jaune is talking about right now is the measurement of danger level of Grimms. Lowest is a 5 and highest is a 1. Rank 5 are very common, like a Beowolf and Boarbatusk. Rank 4 are usually Deathstalkers and Nevermores. Rank 3 are mostly Ursas and Rank 2 contains Major Ursas and Grimms that only very skilled and experience Huntsmen go after. Finally Rank 1, I think you get the idea, but Rank 1 can be consider for Grimms that are near impossible to kill. Often Grimms that survive for a long time or legendary Grimms no one has ever killed before. Sometimes a Grimm can be a bit irregular. Like, too fast, too strong, or too wild and etc. Taint Golems are only Rank 2 due to their strong attacks and defensive armor. This one, however, is 3x faster than normal, making it go up a Rank. There are rumors of Rank 0 Grimms. They are commonly 300 feet tall and are basically gods of Grimm. However only 12 has been seen, but never fought before. The only way to gauge its power was by the destruction it left behind.

Explanation Corner End

'I have not mastered this yet, but might as well.' Jaune mentally says. He slams his knucklestogether and drops to 1 knee only to punch the ground with his right hand. As soon as he did that he yells,

"BURN: FLARING FLAMES!"

A total of 4 glyphs surrounded him, 1 where under him, 1 on top, and 1 on each side of him. A second later the glyphs spin at a quick pace and closes in on Jaune. The glyphs hit him and go through him before it disappears. Where Jaune was standing before was a new figure. Jaune, still with his blonde hair, now lost his tux, but was replaced by some other clothing. Now he wears a black shirt and long black pants. The shoes were now black boots. On top of his shirt was a red trench coat that goes all the way down to his ankles. Another difference was Jaune's blue eyes were now red and his glove's white circle, that was on the middle of the glove on the back in case you forgot, now was a skull with flames behind it. (A/N imagine the glove symbol Rukia from Bleach had in the early episode, like 2 or 3 I think) The white lines were now red instead. All in all, this figure could have been someone else, if not for the trademark blond hair.

"Let the Party Start!" Jaune yells as he charges at the golem. The golem put his arms out in front of him into a cross, but that did little good when Jaune's hands suddenly burst into flames. Jaune pulls back his right hand and releases a straight jab at the golem's arms. An explosion followed, knocking the golem back, leaving Jaune unharmed. Without a pause, he races after the flying golem.

"BURN: FIRE VORTEX!" yells Jaune when he reaches the golem.

He upper cuts the golem while spinning, creating a vortex of fire that went upwards. Jaune jumped up using a bit of aura and drop kicks the golem. The golem lands down with a crash. It tries to get up, but stumbles a lot.

"This is the finisher, BURN: PHOENIX BURST!"

Jaune's right hand busted into flames that was raging, he runs up at high speed and releases the punch onto the golem's stomach. The result was pure awe. The punch had exploded on contact, leaving the golem's midsection empty. That's wasn't what was amazing. It then a second after let out a phoenix of fire out from the back of the golem, like them name says. The golem then disperses into black particles and the group can only stare in awe at the power of Jaune.

"What's up guys? Let's finish this initiative!" Jaune yells nonchalantly.

*** Please Review***

Ozpin smiles as he watches Jaune's output of power on his scroll. 'This is definitely going to be 4 interesting years. We'll be ready for the upcoming danger if we can properly train them.' With this he closes his scroll and waits for his soon to be new Huntsmen and Huntresses in training to come up.

[The End]

So what do you guys think? Not all romance, but action too. Review if you like this or not, I would appreciate the positivity. If you have any questions PM me about it or put it into the review section. On the next chapter, I'll explain to you about what you are confused about. Anyway, here is one thing you guys have been pestering me about:

MyNinnaBrow: So if this is rated M does that mean there is going to be smut?

Answer: The answer is yes, only because I have never done anything like it before so I want to give it a try. Another reason is because it will give this story something spicy onto it.

That is all, this is Silver and I'll see you NEXT TIME! :)
