Here's the story!

The ballroom was filled with the constant hum of talking teenagers. Jaune Arc was currently standing in the corner scanning Aura levels for any possible threats to his future operations. Currently, the only threats to his plans, were Ruby, the Schnee heiress, the black bowed faunus girl reading her book, Yang, Pyrrha Nikos, and both a calm guy, and a hyper girl. Jaune already had a plan to deal with everyone except Black bow and Ruby. However, those two were going to be problematic. Jaune refused to hurt a hair on Ruby's head. So he would have to somehow convince her to join him, or not turn him in. For the black bowed faunus girl however, he needed to gather more information to create a solution for her. Jaune walked up to the girl and began to speak.

"Hello there. The name's Ace. What's yours?"

The girl looked up from her book. "Blake."

"Can I ask you a question?" Jaune asked.

"Sure."

"Why are you hiding your cat ears?"

Blake's eyes turned to slits as she shot up and grabbed Jaune by his collar. "Who are you? What do you want?" She hissed. Jaune subconsciously reached for the hidden knife attached to the inside of his cloak. When he realized what he was doing, he stopped and moved his hand away from the knife. Jaune opened his mouth and began to speak in a calm manner. "I already told you who I am. The name is Ace, and as for what I want, all I want is for you to be my friend." Jaune gave a faux smile as he watched the faunus. "Nothing more, nothing less." Of course, this was not the case, but in order to get the information he needed, he was willing to become her friend.
"Don't lie to me. What do you want me to do so you won't tell anyone?"

"Absolutely nothing. I don't need anything from you. I just want you to be my friend."

"Ace was it? Fine. I'll be your friend. Just don't let anyone know about this. OK?"

"Sure. No problem." Jaune replied. "So why are you hiding your heritage?" he asked again. Blake paused, and turned to glare up at him. "Why should I tell you?"

"Because we're friends now. And I care about my friends," he told her, confidence oozing from his voice. Blake sighed as she looked up at him. "Please just leave me alone. I-I just don't want to talk about it…" A single tear slipped from her cheek. Jaune gave her a look of understanding. "Whenever you're ready, you can talk to me, OK?" Blake looked up at him in surprise. She hadn't expected Ace to give up like that. 'Maybe, just maybe… he could be different?' Blake just nodded as Jaune turned to walk away.

Jaune began to stroll back to his corner as he continued to look around. 'I suppose that's a start,' he thought to himself. He looked around until he noticed Ruby shying away from the heiress. Yang was nowhere to be found, leaving Ruby to fend for herself against the angry Schnee. Jaune narrowed his eyes as he began to walk towards the scuffle.

"We could have been blown off of the cliff! How could you be so reckless!" The angry white haired girl continued her angry rant towards the younger girl.

"I-I… I'm sorry-" Ruby tried to speak but was promptly cut off.

"Oh don't give me the I'm sorry treatment! Why, I should-"

"Should what Ms. Schnee?"

Both girls turned to see who had interrupted the one-sided argument. The red clad girl's silver eyes lit up as she ran over to Jaune. "Jau-err… Ace!"

Jaune turned to look at the younger girl. "Hello Ruby," Jaune turned to glare at Weiss. "I care very deeply for my friends, so answer my question wisely Ms. Schnee." Jaune flared half of his Aura as a display of power.
Weiss seemed to visibly shrink.

"W-whatever." The white haired girl tried to say, but it came out as a mess of stuttering. 'How the hell is this guy so powerful!' The heiress turned and walked away. Ruby quickly enveloped Jaune into an enormous hug. "Thank you so much Ace!"

" No problem. You should get some sleep. We've got a big day tomorrow."

Jaune walked back to his corner, and waited. Waited for the last breath to slow. Before slipping out of the ballroom and leaving the School, entering the forest.

Lie Ren's eyes fluttered open as his vision was enveloped by a hyperactive ginger.
"Wake up lazy butt!" Nora Valkyrie shouted. Ren sighed as he sat up. "It's morning! It's morning! It's morning! It's morning!" Nora continuously zipped around the room as she continued to ramble on and on. Ren just smiled as he watched her. Although being silent on the outside, his inner thought often raced. One of the most common thoughts, was a way to tell the girl in front of him how he felt about her. ' yeah right, like she'll actually accept.'

Ren sighed again as he stood up. "Come on Nora. Let's get ready."

"OK!"

As per usual, Ren was quiet throughout Nora's rambling. When the pair reached the lockers, Nora went silent. Ren turned and looked at her with a bit of surprise. All of a sudden, Nora popped out of her silence.

I know! We'll have some sort of signal! Like a distress signal!" Nora gasped. "A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest! Can you imitate a sloth?"

Ren closed his eyes and smiled before turning to look at his long time companion.

"Nora?"

"Yes, Ren?"

"I don't think sloths make a lot of noise."

Jaune was wide awake and ready for initiation. As he entered the locker room, he was once again embraced by the constant drone of voices. 'You know, if I had never gone on that initial killing spree I might have been one of those voices...oh well what's done is done.' He often pondered to himself what it would have been like to be a normal teen. Yet he always ended up giving up on the thought as he knew that it was an impossible task. He wandered on over to his locker, #636. As he began to turn the knob on the padlock, he overheard Ruby and Yang having a conversation in the aisle next to his.

"...Not the only one going through initiation, if you wanna grow up you're have to meet new people and learn to work together." Yang explained to the red reaper.

"Ughhhhh… You sound like dad. Ok first of all, what does meeting people have to do with fighting? And secondly, I don't need people to help me grow up. I. Drink. Milk."

Jaune burst out into laughter at his childish friend's response to the question. Returning his attention to the lock on his locker, he proceeded to open the locker and grab his weapon of choice, Twisted Whisper. He then pulled out his quarrel and slung it over his back. Jaune looked down at His weapon and unfurled it into it's bow form before having it return to it's spear form. Jaune repeated this action again. And again. And again. After about the 20th time, Jaune heard the click clack of high heels approaching his direction. 'Does the little rich girl want to play?'

"Ace was it?"

"What do you want Schnee?" Of all the things he hated, the SDC company and the Schnee family themselves. Although Jaune was not a faunus himself, he found himself disgusted by the by the way the SDC treated their faunus employees.

"I wanted to ask if you'd like to join my team, I think we'd make a great-"

"Let me stop you right there. I will not join your little team. I don't fraternize with idiots, let alone faunus haters."

"WHAT-I-I, COME BACK HERE!" Weiss screeched in fury. But Jaune was already on his way out. "Pyrrha a little help here?" Jaune quickly leaned a bit left as a spear flew right by him and embedded itself into the wall. Jaune smirked as he walked forward and pulled the offending weapon from the wall. He gazed down at the spear before turning around to return the weapon to it's owner. "Hello Ms. Nikos. I believe this belongs to you. I really expected better from you. Fraternizing with a Schnee like that." Jaune slowly shook his head. "Oh well. Guess that's just how the famous act. Spoiled and rude."

"I'm sorry…" Pyrrha turned away, tears brimming in her eyes. Jaune noticed this and started to feel a little guilty. Jaune's initial glare became softer as he he placed a hand on Pyrrha's shoulder.

"Hey that was really douchey of me. I'm sorry about that."

"I-it's ok," Pyrrha said.

Jaune smiled. "Let's Start over. My name's Ace, it's nice to meet you Pyrrha." Pyrrha opened her mouth to speak when she was interrupted by a voice on the intercom.

"Would all first year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation. Again, all first year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately."

"I'm gonna take off. It was nice to meet you Pyrrha." Jaune stated as he started to walk towards the cliff, ready to begin the initiation. 'THIS' he thought, 'is going to be fun.'

Beacon Cliff, a beautiful area overlooking the Emerald Forest. Currently, it was the spot where the first year students of Beacon stood. Ready to be launched into the forest to start their initiation.

Ozpin walked up to a little landing to the side of the students and began to speak.

"For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."

Glynda then walked up next to him and began to speak herself.

"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates. Today."

Jaune heard Ruby groan. Ozpin's voice began to speak again.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well. That being said, first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."

Jaune swore he heard a shattering from Ruby's direction. A resounding "What!" followed the noise he thought he had heard.

" After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern part of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path or you will die. You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one, and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions? Good, now take your positions."

As Jaune prepared himself for launch, only one thought ran through his mind. 'It's go time.'

So that's a wrap:) Like said before I REALLY REALLY REALLY need a BETA reader. PM me if you want to help out. Thanks in advance. Have a great weekend!
