Alrighty so starting this one off with another little Q&A.

Saiyan Man: fraid there won't be any kind of tech from DBZ in this story, the only thing I'm taking from the DBZ universe is their abilities. Outside of that it only focus on Remnant. And besides Power levels are bullshit anyway

Werewolf2300: lol that wasn't intentional I can guarantee that I originally knew that he was going to be a boar Faunus and I was gonna name him Taurus, but then I was like "Fuck that's Adam's last name! Uh... Fuck it let's name him Tous" and that was the end of that. Though I will say that Jaune is going to meet someone in the next chapter that practices the Crane style.

Thanks again for the reviews guys! It's really what helps me to keep going in this so keep'em coming!

And with that we move on to the chapter!


"I'm really starting to hate today..." Jaune laid in his current tome as he thought on the new general's appearance. So one, the guy hit like a god damn truck. A quick cough and the taste of copper made him do a quick rephrase on that. "Okay, he hit's like a love child of Pyrrha and Yang... But something still feels off... Whatever, I need to get out of here and help out." He closed his eyes and started to gather his remaining ki.

For Sun and Neptune things were going about as well. By tag teaming they were able to keep Tous busy and not focus on either one of them at just one time. Every time he would go for Sun, Neptune would shoot him in the back. Every time he tried to just focus on Neptune, Sun would crack the pig over the skull with his staff.

"You little bugs are so damn annoying!" Tous was beyond fed up with these brats. With a quick burst he put distance between them and himself panting softly. They were much better then he had thought, forcing him to use much more of his energy then he had originally planned, he would need to for the fight. His body ached from their attacks and he could feel himself starting to stall. "To bad for you I'm on a deadline." He positioned his hands at his sides and started to build two green orbs of ki. "SO I'LL FINISH THIS HERE!" with a mighty yell he launched his arms forward and loosed twin blasts of green ki.

"Oh shit..." This was the best Sun could bring to mind as the beams twisted around each other before fusing into one massive blast. It was coming in too fast to dodge. Shit they were gonna die here! Both the boys closed their eyes and braced for the impacted only to not feel it come. Instead they heard a loud grunt and struggling of concrete to not break. Sun dared to open his eyes, only for them to grow to the size of dinner plates at what he saw. There was Jaune standing between them and the giant beam of death. Debris was flying as he held the beam in place.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!" They could hear Tous yelling over the sound of the beam. Jaune didn't falter though as it started to push him backwards.

"Well if I can't hold it..." He gave a heavy yell and pushed his hands upwards directing the beam into the sky where it parted the darkened clouds above and dissipated. Jaune dropped his arms panting heavily as he glared down the shocked General. "That...that the best...you got...?" He smirked at the man before composing himself. "Cause I'm just getting started..." Oh it was a bluff to say for sure, his energy hadn't fully replenished when he woke up and catching that beam had taken about half of what he had left in reserve. If he had to give a fair assessment of his condition, he's say he had about 5 minutes left in him before his body gave out. "...Guess that will have to do..." After mumbling that Jaune charged, kicking off the ground for a b-line at Tous.

How was this damn kid still standing after what he did to him earlier! Tous was beside himself in shock. No normal kid could have taken the amount of power he put into those two hits, and yet here the brat was standing before him. Wait... Shit no now he was coming at him. Tous quickly braced himself with a cross arm block as Jaune barreled a strong right hook at his chest. The man bit back a scream as he felt bones in his arms crack from the force. The kid wasn't playing.

Jaune didn't give Tous the time he needed to recover. He quickly grabbed the boar Faunus by his tusks, surprising the man, and forcibly pulling him into a powerful knee to the face. The sound of bones and a mask cracking could be heard as Tous' head was forced upward again. Parts of his mask fell away showing the anger and pain in the Faunus' burning purple eyes. But Jaune pressed his advantage. With a quick clockwise spin he brought his hands into a dual open palm strike slamming them into Tous' gut and sending him flying backward.

Tous crashed to the ground tumbling till he was able to get back onto his knees glaring like a mad man at the blonde as he clenched his stomach and blood poured form his broken nose. "Why you...damn brat..."

"I'm not giving you the chance!" Jaune called out as he shot into the air quickly, he flung his arms out and began forming multiple golden orbs of energy that simply hovered at his sides. "STARDUST SHOWER!" he quickly swung his arms inward, the action cause the multiple orbs to rain down upon the general.

"What the-!?" Seeing the orbs coming at him in an alarming rate he did the only thing he could. Dodge. With each near miss the area exploded, debris struck at him until he lost his concentration. A third of the left over orbs blasted into him exploding and helping him create a man sized dent in the warehouse wall. After a minute he pulled himself out and could hear his subordinates running to him.

Jaune for his part was doing his best to hide his heavy panting as he gently lowered himself to the ground once more. He was out, nothing was left in his tank, but he couldn't let his opponent see that. So he forced his body to stand even as his vision started to blur from the strain. Shit now there were more solders...

"General Tous!" Started one grunt that moved close to the man.

"Is the... warehouse clear...?" Tous stumbled as he tried to stay standing. His left arm was numb and bleeding from the jagged edges of the wall and he couldn't see out of his right eye due to the cut over it bleeding heavily. This kid was tough. If he hadn't had to deal with the other two as well he wouldn't be in this position. And this brat would be dead.

"S-sir?"

"I said is the warehouse clear, you idiot!"

"Y-yes sir! Everything is moved and we are what remains of the forces here." The grunt stated backing off slightly and standing at attention.

Good, then what they needed to do was done. "We're moving out... Tell everyone that's left...to retreat. This side of town may be a slum...but the police will still respond to the light show...And we don't have the man power for them..." He watched as the grunt saluted and began to give the final order as he turned back to Jaune. "I'll remember this you brat... No one makes a fool of Tous and get's to live long..." With that he followed his subordinates lead.

When the last of them disappeared Jaune finally listened to his body's cries. He quickly collapsed to the ground panting on his hands and knees. He could hear Sun and Neptune run up beside him as he spit blood out of his mouth.

"Yo man, you okay?" Neptune was the first to get beside the blonde. He looked to be in terrible shape. His school uniform was in taters most likely because of the trip into the crates, not to mention it looked like he had a head injury if the caked blood in his hair was anything to go by.

"Yeah yeah... *cough* Just can't move anymore..." Jaune himself was trying not to laugh. Partly because it hurt like hell, he was sure some of his ribs were cracked, but also because he couldn't help but feel he asked for this. 'This is what I get for wanting to go all out.' He would've thought that bitterly, but the taste of blood in his mouth was taking care of that, so he'll just enjoy the irony. Feeling a hand grab his arm and hoist him up he chuckled to the blue haired boy. "Thanks man... Sorry bout the blood."

Neptune shook his head and smirked at the blonde as he pulled his arm over his shoulder. "Don't worry about it. You saved out butts here tonight. A little ruined leather is worth that."

"Yeah man! That was like the most awesome thing I've seen in a long time!" Sun jumped in smiling like a mad man despite his own injuries. "I mean that last attack you did, I didn't know Adepts could control their energy like that." He smirked and moved to smack Jaune on the back, but stopped when he heard him coughing up blood again. Right, the guy was pretty beat up.

"So wait..." He started as they made their way out of the area, just in time as the siren could be heard coming closer. "You guys have heard of Adepts...? Most people in Vale don't know about us..." Jaune looked between the two of them receiving a nod in return.

Neptune hefted Jaune up a bit more to help the guy walk rather then drag along the ground. "Yeah, our teammate Sage is one of them. Their aren't that many in Haven, but of the ones that there are don't hide to much."

"Yeah man we gotta get you introduced to Sage. Heh, he'd flip to meet another Adept here." Sun smirked as he thought on the over exaggerated reaction he expected from his green haired teammate.

Jaune sighed and shook his head while smiling. "That would be cool... But can we keep it quite for now...?" He sighed as the two looked at him in confusion, he was just happy his breathing was starting to settle. "I was keeping it a secret till now, my team doesn't even know. But me and another got caught and we're going to put on a demo in like a week. I'd rather the whole thing blow on schedule. So only tell your team alright?"

The two looked at each other before shrugging. "Yeah sure man, we can keep it quiet for now. Now come on let's get you to the infirmary."


Jaune sighed as he was finally able to leave the infirmary, currently looking like a mummy with how many bandages were holding his ribs together. To say the nurse had been worried when the three of them walked in would have been an understatement. Jaune already knew he was in bad shape, a small cut on the top of his head possibly a concussion, about four of his ribs where cracked from the hits, his hands were pretty badly burned from catching the ki blast, and not to mention how low his energy was. He was actually surprised he was able to stay awake after how much he used today. While Sun and Neptune weren't in as bad a condition as he was they still had their own injuries. He just found it fortunate that they had been able to mostly play chicken with that Tous guy. Sure the guy got in a few hits on them, but nothing overly serious that the nurse found. And if it wasn't for that he really didn't think they would have come out of this alive. They had made the guy waste a ton of energy with the tactic and Jaune knew that was the only reason that he won. Figuratively anyway... They still got away after all.

Both of them had been released, but due to the mass injuries of his own and the fact that she didn't feel he was being truthful about what happened, Jaune had been forced to wait. He was sticking to training droid accident as they agreed. They had come up with the idea so that the girls didn't find out what really happened. Jaune knew that Ruby would have been devastated if she knew what she ended up leading Sun and Neptune into. So it was decided that Jaune was a bit over zealous with the training droids, since Pyrrha was at a movie and couldn't do training tonight. And their own dents were from when the Paladin threw them over the traffic barrier. So because the nurse didn't believe him, and given his track record he really didn't know why, she had gone off to get Ozpin and Goodwitch. Woohoo...

The talk had gone over smoothly with Ozpin at least, he of course explained the actual situation leaving out what RWBY was doing and just saying that Sun and Neptune had wondered into the wrong place while exploring Vale. Goodwitch hadn't been to happy with the news and the condition he was now in, but she was forced to let it slide after Ozpin said it was fine. After a bit more information was passed he was let free to go back to his dorm. So here he was, just after midnight walking through the halls of Beacon, undershirt draped over his shoulder and blazer left open showing the many bandages on his chest. "Oh yeah, my team is gonna take this well..." He could only sigh as he walked casually scratching the bandages that bound his head for the cut atop it.

"And then Blake was all like HEYA! And cut up all the rockets! It was sooooo cool!"

Great... Ruby was in the hallway. More then likely talking with Nora about their little adventure tonight. Well may as well face the wolves. Okay one very adorable puppy and the wolves, but who really pays attention. With a long sigh he walked out into the hallway.

"Hey there you are, Vomit Boy! We were just wondering-" She paused seeing him covered in bandages.

Shit, he hadn't been expecting Yang too. Wait, was that concern on her face? Wow, didn't know she cared.

"Whoa, Jaune what happened to you?" Her concern caught the attention of Ruby, Nora, and Pyrrha who were the only ones standing in the hall with her. The looks of shock and worry crawled across their faces in a mere instant.

Seeing this he did the only thing he could. Putting on a dumb face and scratching the back of his head nervously he smiled. "Heh, got a bit carried away with the training droids. But it's all good, the nurse says I'll be fine as soon as my aura kicks in." Okay so it wasn't a total lie. As soon as his aura decided it wanted to wake itself up he actually would be. If he was lucky he'd heal over night and be all good by morning.

Unfortunately, the others weren't buying it.

"Jaune, your covered in bandages. You are most certainly not fine." Pyrrha moved closer to him making a move to help him stand but he had stopped her with a hand. "Why did you go up against the droids by yourself? You could have been hurt much worse then this, Jaune."

Jaune had to hold back a sigh at her concern. He didn't hate the way Pyrrha treated him, no it reminded him of his sisters after a hard training session with his mom. But she was much more protective of him then he could really like. A little concern here and there was fine, but if she planned to trust him as her leader she needed to let him make his mistakes. "Pyr, I'm fine really. A good night's sleep and breakfast and I'll be right as rain come mornings end." He started to walk by her placing a hand on her head and giving her a bright smile.

"Jaune are you sure you're okay?" Ruby moved up to him quickly and gently touched his chest. Regrettably it did make him hiss in pain slightly causing her to pull her hand back. "Sorry sorry!"

Jaune gave a quick chuckle and ruffled her hair. "It's fine Rubes, I may be considered okay, but it still does hurt a bit." He gave her a reassuring smile and excused himself to go to bed.

Yang for her part wasn't buying it. She herself had gone up against the school's training droids, and they were tough depending on the setting. But they were programed with an override to shut down if the student was getting to badly hurt. His injuries where way to severe to be the cause of them. Not to mention that he was still in his uniform. Were others bullying the blonde boy again...?And if so why did they go this far...? And why was he keeping it quiet again? The whole thing just rubbed her the wrong way.

Back in the dorm room Jaune just ignored Ren's curious look and flopped right back onto his bed. Giving a slight groan from the resulting pain of the action he started trying to fall asleep once more. Of course one thing was prominent on his mind. That Tous guy may have been an Adept, and Adepts joining the White Fang was a scary enough thought as it was. But something was still bothering him about the way the guy fought. Something off about his energy. Damned it all if he wasn't too tired to think about it right now though. So with that thought in mind he let himself pass out again. Hopefully this one would last...
