"Okay before I say anything Jaune you got to promise me to not get mad." Yang said to her fellow blond. Jaune just nodded his head, still confused as to why Blake wanted Yang to tell him something. Yang sighed at Jaunes innocence to the situation and told Jaune the truth. "Jaune…I hears what you said to Blake last night. I'm really sorry! I only wanted to stay and see what would happen."
Jaune took a minute to take in all this information. Once he thought through it all it just left him stone faced and serious. 'Why would she do that?! What gave her the right!?' Jaune thought. He was beyond upset at this revelation. The only people who he wanted to know were Pyrrha and Blake. Now TWO people just happened to overhear his confession. Blake moved to put a hand on his shoulder, but Jaune shouldered past Yang and left the room.
Now Jaune felt like he had some point to prove. What it was he didn't really know, nor did he want to. It could have been him wanting to make a point, or relieve stress, maybe even to gain stress. He didn't care though as he walked into his teams dorm put on his armor and got his weapons. "What's going on Jaune? Did we get a last second mission?" asked Nora, getting excited of doing a night time hunt, maybe with some s'mores.
Jaune was too hot headed to hear much at the moment though as he went out the door again and slammed the door behind him.

Blake only sat in her bed as she heard the door across the hall slam shut and footsteps heading outside the building. Yang had gotten her shampoo and was in the bathroom doing whatever it is she does. A few minutes later Ruby and a battered Weiss walked into the room. "Is something wrong with Jaune?" Ruby asked. "He completely ignored me and Weiss passing by, and he didn't look to happy."
Blake's response was to curl up on her bed and stare at the window. Off in the distance she could have sworn that she saw a glimpse of white armor heading into Forever Falls. 'Wait. Who am I kidding! That was white armor I saw…Jaune!' Blake thought as she rushed off her bed. She got Gambol Shroud from where it was hidden in the room and knocked on the bathroom door. "YANG get out here right now, we have a…situation."
"What's going on Blake? Does this have something to do with Jaune?" Ruby asked. Blake just nodded her head as ruby pulled out Crescent Rose. "Then let's go help him out!" she exclaimed.
"No Ruby. This is something that Yang and I have to fix." Blake said walking towards the red reaper putting her hand on her shoulder. "I…made Yang do something that upset Jaune?"
"What did Yang do?"The reaper asked looking lost and confused. Her best friend was angry because of something her sister did, and it didn't look like Blake was going to share that information any time soon.
"I'm sorry Ruby, but it's personal."Blake told her. Ruby's shoulders slumped as she looked at the ground. "Besides," Blake said, "your partner looks like she needs some help right now." Pointing at Weiss, she was trying to sit down on her bed but her legs wouldn't bend.
"Okay okay, the restrooms free now Blake. You happy?" Yang said walking out of the restroom. She stopped once she saw that Blake had Gambol Shroud in her hands. "What's the problem you had?"
Blake walked up to Yang and whispered to her, "Jaune went into Forever Falls." Yang didn't really see what was wrong with that so Blake continued. "He went alone and with his weapons Yang!" Now realizing what she meant Yang activated Ember Celica, grabbed Blake's arm and ran out the door.
JA – Just a foreword here but I'm going to be a bit more descriptive in the fighting than I've done before. Not too bad but just more of an FYI.
Jaune didn't know why he thought this was a good idea. Here he was out in the middle of the woods surrounded by Beowolfs. His combat experience could probably allow him to kill 4-5 of them but currently he was encompassed by 13 of them. 'Well I guess I did want to prove a point, and if it were anyone else this wouldn't even be a challenge.'
Jaune readied his sword and shield and waited for the enemy to attack. The first enemy came from his left. It charged his as he turned and stuck out his sword, promptly letting it skewer itself. He jumped back readying his shield as another Beowolf jumped from the same direction. The Grimm bounced off his shield as Jaune grunted and threw his weight forward; effectively shield bashing the Beowolf back. Without time to spare a Beowolf from behind him sprinted at him, and he barely had enough time to whirl around and slice his blade the knock it aside.
There's no way Jaune was going to lose this fight. He had to win to prove that he belonged at Beacon. He had to prove that he could defend others, and most of all…he had to prove he could stand up for himself. How could he protect others if he couldn't even protect himself? Jaune didn't want to be a hero; he wanted to be THE hero. The one strong enough to hold back an entire army to defend a cause that he believes in.
Jaune was tired of being the one people defended, tired of letting others do the fighting. HE had to do this! Something inside of Jaune snapped and he could literally feel his aura crawling through his skin. There was a brilliant white flash as Jaune could feel pure energy around his body. Jaune had finally unlocked his semblance.

"How do you even know where to go Blake? Did you memorize his scent and that's how we're tracking him?" Yang asked. Blake just blushed and said nothing as she continued on her way. Yang just gasped as she covered her mouth. "You totally did memorize his scent!"
"Sh-shut up Yang! I did not do that." Blake replied. 'Okay maybe a little.' She thought to herself. 'Yang doesn't need to know that though.' Blake continued to head East for a few minutes, and looked up in surprise as a bright white flash occurred. 'Jaune!'
"What was that!?" Yang yelled. Blake didn't bother to reply as she ran ahead towards the light. She was nearing upon a small clearing. She could see that there were signs of a fight going on. The sound of a sword hitting solid objects, the howls of the Grimm, and worse the sound of ripping. Right as she entered the clearing she saw Jaune standing in the middle…with the bodies of Grimm surrounding him. It looked as though there were around 27 bodies there. (More Grimm came at the white flash. I'm not being dramatic…maybe just a bit.)
She didn't say anything as he stood there starring at his sword. He was covered in so much blood that she couldn't tell if it was his or not. Yang walked up behind her as she then started to survey the scene. She let out a soft whisper at what was in front of her. Jaune apparently heard this turning to them. He didn't have a scratch on him from what Blake could see. "Dang Jaune, were you Yangry or something?" Yang said. Seeing how no one would laugh she just huffed and looked away.
Jaune was going to respond when something tackled him. He looked down to see a bow in his face. "What were you doing here all alone Jaune!?" Blake yelled at him. She just embraced him tighter as he rested an arm on her back. "Don't you know that scared me? What would I do if you had just disappeared and not come back?!"
Jaune didn't answer as he continued to stand there letting Blake hug him. "Hey I don't want to be the one to interrupt, but we should really head back." Yang said. Blake quickly let go of Jaune and blushed. Without a word she intertwined her hand with his and started to lead him back to Beacon grounds. "If you ever do this again Jaune I sweat I'm going to call your sisters." Blake threatened. Jaune just gulped and nodded his head furiously. He didn't want to invoke the wrath of his sisters.
JA
Okay so maybe he was getting a few stares but it was nothing Jaune couldn't shrug off. He was fine with the stares people gave him from his new sense of confidence; he was fine with the glares of Team CRDL. What did him in though were the stares he was getting from having a ball and chain around his ankle, and the jealous stares of other guys (and some girls) from Blake clinging onto his arm.
"So are we going to talk about the-"Ruby was saying. "Nope!" Blake, Yang, and Jaune replied. They weren't going to talk about this weeks after this day.
'Yup...just another normal lunch.' Jaune thought to himself.
