Chapter 2

"WHAT!?"

Jaune shouted as he looked to the young girl hugging him and then back to the headmaster who just let out a sigh as he ran a hand through his hair.

"I said that this young girl is your daughter, from the future."

The headmaster said again in the same tone that said he didn't completely believe his own words. The knight simply stared at him wide eyed in shock as he tried to figure out what was going on. His mind was spinning with thousands of crazy explanations as he looked down to the young girl who was staring up at him with a huge smile as did so.

The young girl let go of his leg, taking a step back from him as she patted herself down lightly as she then stood straight spread her arms wide at her sides.

"Hello papa I am Summer, your daughter and I have come from the future to see you and mama to save my timeline!"

The young girl declared in a gleeful tone as she smiled toothily at the knight as he just stared at her in shock. The young girl held her pose waiting for her 'papa' to say something for a few more seconds before her smile began to falter and she slowly lowered her arms and stared at Jaune worriedly. She turned around to look at Ozpin questionably as she seemed to not understand why Jaune was acting the way he was. The headmaster just sighed as he shook his head.

"Summer remember what I said when you told me that, you have to explain yourself to him or he won't understand."

The headmaster said to which the young rose nodded in understanding as she turned back to Jaune and reached behind her back and pulled a small ovular pouch from her belt Jaune hadn't noticed earlier. She opened up the pouch causing an odd sound to come out of it like that of wind as she reached in and pulled out what looked like a scroll.

She opened up the small looking scroll and set it on the floor before her and Jaune. She then stepped to his side and coughed into her hand.

"Forgive me papa, here I want you to watch this and then you will understand."

The young rose said in a somewhat worried voice but continued on as she reached into her pouch again and pulled out a little clicker device. As she aimed the small clicker at the scroll on the floor it lit up activating a projection before them. The knight just stared in milled amazement at the cool device before it flickered slightly and appeared what looked to be a video feed.

The video was a prerecorded video log, it seemed as though someone could be heard setting up the camera that was recording. With a few clicks the camera shook slightly before settling and a person walked before the camera. The young knight couldn't see the persons face as their head was above the cameras range of view for a few seconds before the person sat down.

The moment though the person on the camera came into view Jaune felt his jaw drop to the floor as the person who was sat before him looked identical to himself only older. The older Jaune had slightly longer hair that was in a bit of a mess almost like he had just woken up. The older Jaune had on a form fitting long sleeved black t shirt that showed off his built form. The video paused for a second as Summer looked up to Jaune.

"That is you papa, you made this for me before I left to help me prove to you who I am."

The young rose said happily as she then began the video again. The older Jaune coughed into his hand before he began to talk.

"Hello younger me. Now I understand that this may come as a shocker but what that young girl beside you is saying is true." The older Jaune paused as he reached up and ran a hand before his hair. "Summer there is my daughter… your daughter. Now I understand that this is a lot to take in and sounds completely insane but please I want you to just listen."

"Summer there has been sent back in time to meet you to save our timeline, your future. Again while that may sound insane you must understand it is true. Now if you don't believe me then let me tell you something that only you know, something that you never shared with anyone." Again the older Jaune paused as he looked off camera at something before taking a deep breath and continuing.

"You spent a year and a half in a village named Arcadia, a year before you arrived at Beacon were you met a man name Uther Pendragon." The moment the future video of Jaune said this the young knight watching the video flinch as his eyes widened. The headmaster and young rose did not miss this as they shared a look before turning back to the video as the young knight seemed to ball his hands into fists.

"Now I won't say any more on the subject because I understand what it is you feel about the things that happened in Arcadia but I hope that this will be enough proof to you that what Summer is saying is true. Now I would love to go on a tell you all that awaits you in the future but I can't, if I did you wouldn't grow so I will only tell you why we sent Summer back in time." The future Jaune paused again as he looked down sadly at his hands before looking back up at the camera.

"You see someone found a way to time travel obviously but what you have to know is who ever found this power is trying to use it to change history. Why, we aren't sure, who we have no idea, but what we do know is, is that there are a few people who are immune to the effects of what this person is doing to history me being one of them. You see this person is using the ability to travel through time to remove people from it."

"People who should be alive with me in my time line are dead having died years before. At first it wasn't noticeable but when we finally started to notice history had already begun to shift. Now with collaborations between the Vytal military and Atlas we were able to replicate the process this unknown entity used to travel through time. Though we only were able to make it work for one person and while I would have been more than willing to go through the time machine we have made it wouldn't have been able to send me because it wasn't strong enough to send me, it can only handle a small package."

The future Jaune paused as he looked down sadly bringing his hand up to his face for a second covering his eyes. The young Jaune just balled his hands into fists even tighter as he felt his nails slowly dig through his aura and into the palms of his hands. The future Jaune shook his head taking a deep breath before continuing.

"Now you see Summer there was the perfect fit while also being immune to the time distortions that are happening. She was chosen to be one of the possible candidates to go back because of this. Now I was against this, till I noticed while she may have been immune to the effects it wasn't as strong of an immunity as mine. She was slowly starting to fade from time like many others. So when I found out she had a chance to be sent back in time to where she wouldn't disappear I decided I would make damn sure she was chosen, because from what you know, is that once she goes back the effects of the time erase will be removed seeing as she will now be existing in two different history's countering the erase."

"Now we only had enough knowledge and power over time travel to send her back meaning she won't have a return trip if she succeeded in her mission to save our time line…" The video paused as for a second before beginning again. This time though the future Jaune was leaned back in his chair holding a picture frame staring at it sadly. He reached up and rubbed his eyes with one hand before putting the picture frame down and continuing again.

"Forgive the pause, but you see if she succeeds she won't come back because we can't bring her back and technology of the past isn't capable of making the time machine." The future Jaune's voice was rough now like he had been crying. "Now you see I want my daughter to have a future even if that means I myself don't get to see it. Well I guess I will but not like a father really should." He paused giving off a sad chuckle. "I want you, my past self, to take care of Summer and let her help you to save our timeline so please protect her." The future Jaune finished as he slowly reached up and turned off the camera ending the video.

Jaune and Ozpin stared off at were the projection had once been in silence while Summer stood beside her father's younger self looking down at the floor sadly playing with the hem of her skirt waiting for the two men to say something. Jaune let out a shaky breath as he turned to look at the young rose as she shuffled in place before she looked up to him. The knight slowly knelt down before her looking her over.

He opened his mouth to talk only to close it as he takes a deep breath.

"So you're daughter."

He said as he gave her a sad smile.

"You gave up so much, I am so sorry."

He reached out and wrapped her into a tight embrace as he waited for her to say something. The young rose slowly returned the embrace as she nestled her face into the crook of his neck.

"It's ok papa, I did it because I wanted to help save everyone."

The young girl said shakily before her eyes began to tear up and she slowly started to cry. Jaune held her for several minutes while Ozpin just sat behind his desk letting the two be while he thought about what he should do. The headmaster figured he best help with the young Arcs situation seeing as he would help him sustain the future. When the young girl finally calmed down Jaune stood and looked to Ozpin before speaking up.

"Alright what are we going to do?"

The young knight asked in a determined voice as he stood tall before the headmaster. Ozpin was slightly take back by the knight's change in character before smiling fondly at the young man.

"For now Jaune, we will look into the people who are supposedly removed from history." The headmaster paused as he looks to Summer who gave a small sniff before taking on a persona like Jaune's. 'She is indeed is daughter.' He thought before going on again.

"Summer I take it you have the names of everyone who disappeared."

The headmaster said to which the young rose nodded and reached into the same pouch she pulled her scroll from and withdrew a small USB that she handed to Ozpin. The headmaster took it happily as he then set it on his desk to which lit up slightly before his monitor screen came to life with the file of names that began to slowly load into his terminal.

"With that we have a starting point to begin with saving your timeline, it will take some time to get through all these names so I would like for you two to wait till I go through them all before we do anything, in that I want you to try and enjoy yourself here Summer, you have earned that… you have earned so much more for what you have given up."

The headmaster said sadly to which the young rose just smiled.

"Thank you."

She smiled brightly at him as she turned back to her father who smiled down to her before a look of realization hit him.

"Oh yeah, hey Summer um, who is your mother?"

The young knight asked slowly as he rubbed the back of his head as he thought he might know.

"Oh, I didn't tell you yet did I." The young rose said in a ditzy manner as she smacked herself on the forehead before smiling at him. "My mother is Ruby Rose Arc!"

The young rose declared cheerily as she smiled toothily at her father who just chuckled slowly as a look of dread hit him. 'Oh god Yang.' Ozpin just stared with a small smile hidden behind his hand as he looked at Jaune.

"Best of luck young man."

The headmaster said knowing full well what might happen soon.

Beacon mess hall.

Team RWBY and three of the members of team JNPR sat in the mess hall enjoying their lunch as they talked about what to do during their break only to stop when they saw Yang freeze for a second and drop her fork.

"Yang you ok?"

The blonde brawler's sister asked as she looked over her.

"Yeah Rube's I just felt an unusual spike of anger swell up deep inside me telling me to kill someone for doing something terrible."

Those around her all stared wide eyed in shock and confusion at her words. Weiss had a look that said she thought the brawler was insane while still questioning her with her gaze. The brawler's partner Blake had set her book down in bewilderment as she looked over her partner. Ruby just stared confused at what her sister said ready to ask her what she meant when she herself paused as she felt a small warmth fill her.

'Huh, what was that?' The little reaper though as she brought her hand to her chest then to her stomach as she thought she might have eaten something odd. Across from the brawler Nora just slide behind her partner Ren with a confused look as she thought about what Yang said. 'Does she know I was planning on stealing some of her food. Wait is she a psychic!?' The Valkyries mind began to try and make up tons of strange things as she smiled behind Rens beck.

Said green Ninja just stared with a small questioning gaze before turning away and drinking his tea. Pyrrha just gave a small chuckle as she looked to the blonde brawler.

"Come now Yang, tell us why do you feel that way?"

The Spartan asked, hoping to understand what had just happened.

"I have no idea I just felt it out of nowhere, I think I might be losing my mind."

The brawler said to which her partner quipped in.

"I wouldn't be surprised."

The Faunus in disguise smiled lightly as she went back to her book as Yang turned to her in a mock her fashion.

"Blake that hurts, I'd of thought you of all people would be more kind."

The blonde brawler joked as she brought a hand up resting the back of it on her forehead as she posed in a hurt fashion. Ruby chuckled at her teammate's antiques and slowly began to go back to eating her lunch only to stop when as small white and red rose petal fell down before her. The little reaper slowly reached down to pick up the rose pedal as it brought up memories of Ruby's mother only for the pedal to fade away and a voice come from her side shocking her.

"Eep!"

The little reaper let out a girl squeak as she turned to her right as everyone else around her was also drawn to the voice as they all came onto the sight of a young girl with black hair with blonde tips. The young girl was adorable to say the least as Nora let out a gasp as she pointed her finger at the small girl.

"Oh my god she is so cute!"

The Valkyrie squealed as she prepared to dive at the young girl before Ren gripped her shoulder holding her in place.

"Nora please calm down."

The green clad ninja said calmly as he looked over the young girl wondering where she came from and how no one noticed her arrival. The young girl just looked around at everyone as she then turned and smiled brightly at Ruby who gushed internally about how cute the girl was. Weiss was about to ask who the young girl was and how she got her only to stop when the young girl spread her arms wide wrapping Ruby in a hug.

"Hello Mama."

The young girl said cheerily shocking everyone at the table.

"MAMA!"

They all shouted in unison as they all stared at the small girl clinging onto Ruby.

"WHAT!?"

Ruby shouted as she looked at the girl clinging to her in shock as the girl smiled toothily at her again. The girl let her go and stood up walking to where she was standing where everyone at the table, including the three members of team JNPR, could see her as she coughed into her hand before she spoke up.

"Hello everyone my name is Summer Rose Arc and I am the future daughter of Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc."

The young rose declared cheerily to everyone at the tables shock as they all stared at her as she posed for them cutely. Everyone slowly turned to Yang whose hair had caught fire as her eyes flared bright red. Everyone around her slowly slid back just as the doors to the mess hall shot open drawing their attention to Jaune as he ran in out of breath.

He looked around ignoring the strange stares he was getting from the students till his gaze landed on his friends, more specifically Yang, as she stood up cracking her knuckles. Jaune quickly looked to Summer who just waved at him smiling as he then looked back to Yang who was slowly making her way towards him.

"Yang calm down, I can explain."

The blonde knight said as he slowly took a step back as Yang got closer. He gulped as he saw the flames in her hair growing while her red eyes screamed bloody murder.

"You can explain… WHEN YOU'RE DEAD VOMIT BOY!"

The blonde brawler screamed at the top of her lunges as she shot forward like a bullet towards the poor knight who could only shriek like a little girl before she crashed into him slugging him in the face so hard he was sent flying.

Back in Ozpin's office he sat looking out the large window behind his desk as he heard the shrill shriek of one Jaune Arc as he watched said boy go flying past the window off towards the dorms where he crashed landed. The headmaster simply took a drink of his coffee as chuckled. 'I knew this year would be interesting.'

The headmaster thought with a small smile as he turned back to his terminal as he watched the names from the USB Summer had given him finish downloading. It was time to start investigating into why these people would be targeted by someone to be erased from history.

Back in the mess hall the RWB of team RWBY stared in shock at Yang who had just sent the only person who might be able to give them answers flying away with a single punch. The other three people at the table just stared in complete shock for similar but different reasons. Ren was shocked at Yang's rage hoping his team leader was ok, while Nora was staring shocked at the fact that she didn't know Jaune could scream in such a high pitched tone chuckling lightly at it before wondering if she could make him scream like that to.

Pyrrha on the other hand was worried for Jaune but at the same time was shocked at hearing that the small girl who came out of nowhere was Jaune and Ruby's daughter. 'Why is she Ruby's daughter and not mine?' The Spartan asked herself, internally jealous of the little reaper. As everyone watched Yang, a small hic caught their attention as they turned to the girl who called herself Summer who was now teary eyed as she glared at Yang.

Again another cute action if not one that pulled at their heart strings seeing as they wanted to stop her crying. Yang, who had calmed down some, had turned around to see the odd expression on the young rose's face immediately feeling guilty for being the one who caused it.

"Oh no don't cry."

Yang said as she started to run over to the young rose who started to rub the tears from her eyes.

"Y-you hurt p-papa."

She said hiccupping in between her words as Yang got closer. Yang came up to the girl, ready to apologize, only to stop when she saw the girl's aura flare around her in a white glow as her hair slowly changed from black and blonde to white.

"I HATE YOU! YOU HURT PAPA!"

The young girl shouted out as her aura exploded like a flare blinding everyone who was looking at her. Slowly the members of team RWBY and the three team JNPR members regained their sight as they looked around dazed till they noticed that Summer was gone.

"Where did she go?!"

Ruby asked worriedly as she looked around till she saw white and red rose pedals falling towards the ground by the doors.

"Oh my god she ran away!"

The little reaper shouted as she pointed to the doors as everyone looked there to see the rose pedals and gasp.

"Oh my god we have to find her!"

Yang shouted as she started to sprint out of the mess hall, Ruby quickly catching up with her semblance while not far behind the rest of the crew was following. Everyone else in the mess hall though that got caught in the flash were sadly still blind from it as some stumbled about unable to see.

Outside Beacon dorms.

In the court yard laid the unconscious form of one Jaune Arc who at the moment was in a small crater about three feet deep. The poor blonde knight was completely out from the crash as he laid in the crater. Slowly though a shadow fell on the unconscious knight's form as someone stood over the crater. Said person was a young girl in white who flicked her wrist lightly, casting a glyph under the knight and began to carry him away.

End.

AN/ OK so like I said before this is inspired by "yomero choice" but this is not an actual cross over it just has similar story ideas which I have changed certain things to make this story more unique to me. Now I also want to say again I want this story to be plot driven but still funny so the part where Jaune talks to his future self is me giving the story a plot. Also I am not a scientist so I will not have any real sciency mumbo gumbo in this so if you find my time travel logic is flawed than it is because I really don't know much about just saying so I do hope everyone enjoys and I am surprised that in one day I have over five hundred views on this story and an equal 32 favs and follows. The favs and follow one just makes me happy to see they are equal to one another.

So again please leave a review, I just want to know what you readers think it helps me know what I did write.
