Me: Hello everybody, my name is Tokuniverse11 and welcome to JRWBY: Knight of the Seasons!
Now we're going to start things is by having a trailer as the first chapter of JRWBY: Knight of the Seasons. This chapter covers our protagonist Jaune beginnings before his first steps into Beacon Academy, getting to know how different he is compared to canon.
Again I was so inspired by 'An Arc for every season' by vendetta543. The huge difference is that this story has a harem albeit just Jaune with Maiden RWBY (Lancaster/White Knight/Knightshade/Dragonslayer) and no one else while vendetta543's story doesn't do that, so if any of you dislike the harem here then go to 'An Arc for every season'.
Also again JRWBY has a thing with Role-Playing Games both Video and Tabletop.
And here with is my helper and beta-reader midnightson41

Let's begin.
Chapter 0: J Trailer
"This just in another settlement was forced to be abandoned due to recent spike in Grimm activity-"
"Haven Headmaster Leonardo Lionheart refused to comment on Pyrrha Nikos shocking decision to apply for Beacon-"
"Faunus Civil Rights movement plan to do the protest on Saturday-"
"Atlas has made moves in securing their borders-"
"Another robbery has occurred by the notorious criminal-"
The screen turned black before it zooms out to reveal it to be a television turned off by a frustrated customer.
"Come on, isn't there anything interesting to watch besides the news." He said, putting the remote down.
"I'm afraid, that's all we have right now sir." A waitress said as she poured coffee into the man's mug.
"Charlotte! Order up!" A man from behind the counter called out.
"Excuse me, coming Dad," Charlotte said as she left for the kitchen.
The location the customer is in is what looks to be a family owned diner that is rather down on its luck due to some unknown reason. The place is rather poor and rundown in its setting and doesn't seem to be attracting that many customers, only having just enough to get by. However, it seems their luck is about to change when suddenly the doors burst open revealing a blonde teenage boy with his arm leaning on the door and both hands grasping his stomach as it growls loudly.
Everyone stares in silence before Charlotte spoke up.
"Umm can I help you-"
"Please, I need to have food, I'm starving here!" The boy yelled as he ran to the nearest booth seat.
Charlotte soon brought over some breakfast to the blond boy who after a quick thanks immediately starts devouring the food like a Grimm much to the amusement of Charlotte and the cook. Having some fuel in his stomach for a bit, the boy made a relieved smile.
"Ahh I needed that"
"So uh, what's your name may I ask?"
"Name's Jaune Arc, short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, nice to meet you." He introduced with a goofy grin as Charlotte chuckled a bit.
"Nice to meet you too, Jaune. So what brings you over to these parts?"
"I was on my way to Vale but I got hungry and found out that my teacher didn't pack me any food, so I was just wandering around until I saw this place." Jaune explained.
"Really? What kind of teacher would do that?" Charlotte then takes another look at Jaune before finally noticing that he was carrying a sword and shield.
"Wait, are you a Huntsman?" Charlotte asked in shock.
"Sure am." Jaune replied.
"Really? Aren't you a little young to have your Hunters License young man?" The cook asked.
"... Well actually I'm a Huntsman in Training. I was trained under one for years and unlocked my aura from her."
"Really, so what's your story?" She asked with curiosity in her expression. Jaune sighs.
"Long ago there was a bandit group that continuously harassed my hometown and nobody had the courage to stand up to them, but my family, one day I couldn't stand for it anymore and fought back against them, saving my hometown in the process. That attracted the Huntsman's that was originally sent there to deal with the Bandits' attention and that impressed her enough for me to be taken in as an apprentice where I learned as much as I could before long I was scouted by a Beacon staff member while on my way to the school for initiation." He explained, giving his Beacon letter to show to Charlotte and the cook who both are intrigued by Jaune's story as he spoke on.
"Uhh hey kid, have you checked the date on the letter, look. The date was for July 25th today's July 18th, you're a week early," The cook pointed, giving Jaune the spot of his mistake.
Jaune facepalmed himself as he looked at the letter for this mental error.
"I should really read more closely..." Jaune lamented.
"Umm Jaune, you have some crumbs on your mouth." Charlotte pointed, giving him a napkin to wipe them off.
"Huh oh thanks, you know I'm still hungry. Mind if I order more? I can pay for it."
"It's on the house kid, besides you're going to need a place to stay for the night so save your money, Charlotte go bring the kid his food."
"Of course, coming right up." Charlotte said, walking away.
"Thanks but aren't you going to get in trouble with your boss for handing out free food?"
"Kid, I am the boss, names Mac and I'm both the proud owner of this establishment and it's chef." The cook named Mac laughed before heading back into the kitchen.
Wanting To kill the time, Jaune decides to go to the restroom to make a call while waiting for food just as a bunch of thuggish looking men enter the restaurant causing Mac and Charlotte to look with disgust and... fear clearly familiar with the men entering. While some of the customers were on edge at this.
"W-What do you want?" Mac asked, trying to keep a calm stance.
"It's about time to pay up Mac." One of them said,
"But I don't have the money!"
"Too bad because the boss is getting impatient so you either give us the money or else we'll take more than just that."
"That's because you jerks keep scaring all of the potential customers away with your presence around here, so what gives you the right to start getting money from us." Charlotte accused him.
That earned her a slap that caused her to fall on the floor causing some customers to flee. Mac's face turned from fear to anger as he grabbed a chair and attacked the one who hit his daughter, but being a middle aged man against a bunch of stronger men wasn't going to be in his favor as he is being held down while Charlotte tried to stop them only to be grabbed by one of them forcing her to watch as they continued to rough up her father.
"Please stop!" She begged as she saw how bruised and bloodied her father is, who is barely standing.
"That'll teach you some respect old man and once we're done with him, maybe we will have a little bit of fun with you girly."
This causes fear in both the restrained father and daughter. But before anything could be done of that, an object flew and hit one of the thugs in the temple shattering on impact
"Hey, why don't you pick on someone your own size!" A voice yelled out.
The thugs turned to see Jaune glaring at them. He came out of the bathroom after hearing a serious commotion and clearly he wasn't scared or running away from them which somehow bothers them.
"Take him out!" The leader ordered.
The remaining thugs quickly forget about the father and daughter and turn their attention on Jaune, who responds by taking the nearest plates and starts flinging at them which serves to annoy them as they're closing in. Jaune kicks one of them away then the other thug attempts to punch him only to touch a whiff of blond hair and countered a punch of Jaune that knocks the wind out of him. Jaune was then grabbed with his head slammed on the counter of the diner, Jaune looked and saw a mug with steam coming so he grabs it and tosses hot coffee at the thugs' face causing him to wheel back in pain on the floor. As Jaune continues to take down each thug one by one while tanking their blows that they actually landed on him until the leader is left.
"Don't move, that's far enough!"
Jaune looks to see the leader has taken the daughter at knife point
"I'll let her go, once I get out of here move and I cut her pretty little neck" The leader said but there is clearly a bit of fear in his tone as his men got taken down by this teenage boy.
Jaune was a stand still as he was trying to come up with a plan to save Charlotte and was hesitant since that would mean he revealed his 'secret', but if it meant saving the owner's daughter, then he must.
Jaune takes a deep breath as his hands glow a whitish yellow, not in aura, but rather a different power as the leader, daughter and owner as Jaune stares down at the thug. Outside of the diner, a flash of light brightens the windows and back inside, the leader is on the floor clearly affected by this power that Jaune unleashed as the glow on his hands and forehead vanishes as the whole diner was messed up from the fighting and power emitted as well. Jaune turns to the bewildered Charlotte.
"Are you two alright?" Jaune asked in concern.
"We're fine, thank you so much for saving us Jaune." Charlotte said in appreciation, getting out of her surprise. "What was that?"
"It's uh... my semblance, which lets me shoot powerful projectiles then aura." Jaune said, lying under his teeth before changing the subject. "So these guys have been bothering you?"
"Yes, these men have been doing this to us for a while and now I hope they get locked up and never bother anyone again." Mac said, using the opportunity to call the authority of the incident.
"I see, well, guess I gotta go, oh here is the money for the food and the repairs to the diner, sorry that I wrecked the place."
"Think nothing of it Jaune, thank you for saving us and good luck at Beacon."
"Thank you, goodbye."
Jaune hands the Lien to the owner and daughter who both nod in appreciation and watches as the boy leaves the diner ready to embark on his journey as a huntsman at Beacon Academy. The screen shows the shattered moon in the night sky.
JRWBY: Knight of The Seasons
Soundtrack: Let the Battles Begin! Ex-SOLDIER from Final Fantasy VII Remake when Jaune start to fight the thugs in the diner.
Me: And cut...
So midnight your thoughts?
midnightson41: Well I feel like we could have done a bit more but hey let's save that for later as we got a whole Story to go through and plenty of time to come back and make some changes but overall a Great Start I just hope everyone else will agree.
So yeah we're now gonna start writing the first actual chapter of our heroes starting at Beacon and how they start their relationship.
Also the other trailers are the same just add the story title at the end that's all.
If you want to know more about the outfit Jaune is wearing, it is based on this image I found on the internet that shows a collection of the Red Hood's outfits, so imagine that with an added yellow color, Arc symbol and excluding the helmet of course. If you're interested in what it looks like, I'll send to you link to the image via PM.
Remember folks if you flame or give me all negative comments that don't help me in anyway to improve, I will chew you out even if it is immature of me! I'll only take well constructed criticism and I'll be more lenient with the guest reviews as long as I'm not being flamed.
Me and Midnight will be doing two more chapters before I do Empireo University DxD then back to Toku to Hero.
Thank you so much for reading everybody. We'll see you in the next chapter, buh bye!
