When all else fails, Ram it!
The Legend of Sky Captain "Aura Crash" Jian
Jaune hummed to himself as he piloted the airship. Spotting another Giant Nevermore, he smirked as he activated his Aura Crash ability and used it to knock the Grimm out of the sky. The first time he'd done it Blake had spent several minutes yelling at him for being 'reckless', but after the seventh flying Grimm had been run over she'd given up on trying to stop him. The feline Faunus was now hiding in her room, reading a book and pointedly ignoring the sudden bursts of acceleration that occurred whenever Jaune rammed into something, though she had come over to yell at him after he tried flying upside down for a bit. Even though that particular stunt had managed to level up his Driving skill, Jaune felt that it would be better for him not to try it again anytime soon. After all, there were some things even he was not sure he could recover from.
Seeing the Giant Nevermore recover and attempt to chase him, Jaune swung the ship around and ran into it again. The Grimm screeched as its wing broke under the force of Jaune's attack, falling rapidly until it crashed into the ground.
Repeated use of Aura Crash has caused it to level up!
You have maxed out the ability: Aura Crash!
Jaune closed the window and began cackling to himself. Oh, the things he could do with this...

Weiss staggered and tried not to fall as the ship lurched forwards suddenly. Once again the heiress wondered how the White Fang thought that they could get away with hijacking a top of the line airship, especially without anyone who knew how to pilot the blasted thing. Whoever was in the cockpit obviously had no idea what they were doing, repeatedly accelerating and stopping alarmingly, and even flying upside down at one point. A couple of times Weiss even could have sworn that she'd felt them run into something, though the ship didn't seem to have taken too much damage yet. Weiss felt that it was a minor miracle that they hadn't crashed yet, though it was probably only a matter of time with this madman at the wheel.
They had locked her into a room after hijacking the airship, but it seemed that the White Fang hadn't expected a spoiled high class heiress to be able to pick the lock. The turbulence and rocky piloting had thrown her off her game, but once she stopped throwing up it had only taken a few minutes for Weiss to break out of her restraints and force the door open. The Schnee heiress seethed as she made her way to the cockpit, her newly recovered rapier held tightly in her hands.
She was going to show these filthy terrorists exactly what happened when you messed with Weiss Schnee!
-
Weiss burst through the door and stalked into the room, her signature rapier held threateningly in her hand as she confronted the terrorist that had hijacked the ship.
"Oh, hi there, Miss Schnee." the masked man said cheerfully, not even fazed by the sharp weapon pointed at his throat. "Have a seat. Blake's resting now, but she said she'd drop by in a few hours with something to eat."
"What?! Y-you, how dare yo- LOOK OUT!" Weiss screamed as a massive Grimm appeared in the skies above them. The Giant Nevermore screeched loudly as it sent a wave of razor sharp feathers towards the White Whale before diving down to tear it to shreds with its claws.
"Oh, right! Give me a second..." the pilot said, seemingly perfectly calm as he caught sight of their impending doom.
Weiss once again struggled to maintain her balance as the airship moved faster then she believed possible, jerking to the side before rising rapidly to avoid the projectiles. The Nevermore itself barely missed, and Weiss could have sworn that it had a surprised expression on its face as it flew past them. For a moment, she thought that they were safe. It would take a few minutes for the Grimm to recover, time that they could use to flee the area. If they were fast enough, they had a chance to outrun the beast before it could attack them again.
Then she realized that the masked pilot was turning the ship around.
"What are you-"
"Relax, Miss Schnee. I know what I'm doing." he said, as he flew towards the Grimm why was he flying towards the giant Grimm oh god-
"Aura Crash!"
Weiss sat in the co pilot seat, pale and shaking as she struggled to process what had just happened. Beside her, the masked man began humming tunelessly as he flew them over a mountain range. He paused as he turned to speak to her.
"So, you ever traveled by airship before?"
"..."
The pilot didn't seem too bothered by her silence, continuing to speak cheerfully even as the Schnee heiress stared at him with wild, bloodshot eyes.
"Cause I noticed that you didn't seem too good when we first took off. If you want I could probably ask Blake to make you some herbal tea or something to help with the air sickness."
"..."
"You really should get something to eat later. No offense, but you're looking really pale. At your age you need to eat properly so that you can grow."
"... what." she asked, in a haunted voice.
"Do you like chicken?" he asked, oblivious to Weiss' tone. "Cause I think I saw some in the kitchen earli-"
"What the hell was that?!" she burst out, rising to her feet and pointing at him accusingly. "Y-you exploded a Grimm by ramming it with an airship! How is that even possible?!"
The man shrugged carelessly as he pulled a lever to drop their altitude. "Aura."
Weiss stood there, staring at the man in disbelief. "You do know that we have guns, right? You could have just shot it instead of doing... that."
"But where's the fun in that?" he said, almost childishly.
"Fun." she said flatly. "You decided to ram a Grimm with your airship because you thought it'd be... fun."
He scratched the back of his head nervously. "Well, when you put it that way..."
Weiss' fingers twitched towards her rapier. It would be so satisfying to stab the madman in front of her. What if it was contagious? She'd practically be doing the world a favor by stopping his madness from spreading into the general population...
The Schnee heiress paused as she noticed something. "Wait, what are you doing?"
"You might want to buckle up, Miss Schnee." he said cheerfully.
"Why are you flying us towards that mountain?" she asked, dread rising. He couldn't possibly-
"Going around this mountain range would take too long, and going over means running into more Nevermores. So I figured I might as well test out an idea that's been on my mind for awhile." he turned and gave her a thumbs up. "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure this'll work."
"Oh god." Weiss whimpered. "We're all going to die."
"Oh, relax." he said. "I know what I'm doing. AURA CRASH!"

Thus began the legend of the notorious Sky Pirate Jian, who flies through mountains because going around them would take too long.
