Point of View: None

Time in Show: Forever Fall pt 1 & 2

Bonnie looks out his dorm, seeing Jaune look into his. The rabbit frown at seeing Jaune looked defeated as Ruby walked out. He listens to their conversation, his eyes widened at Jaune's sentence. He had a feeling that Jaune had done something to get in despite his poor sword and shield skills.

"I messed up. I did something I shouldn't have, and now Cardin has me on a leash, and Pyrrha won't even talk to me, and… I'm starting to think coming to this school was a bad idea." The Arc slumped over, looked depressed, adding "I'm a failure"

"You ain't" "Nope" He and Ruby said. The blond and the rose looked at the insomniac rabbit, both caught off guard. He looked at the two before walking over, looking down on Jaune. "Want to know why?" He asked kindly, unaware of Goldie watching, his eyes widening as Bonnie spoke.

"Why?" "You are the leader of a team. If you say you're a failure, then they are. Do you not care for your team?" That got Jaune to look at Bonnie with a glare, anger welling up in his soul. This was the reaction Bonnie needed to be certain of Jaune's Will.

"What?" his voice was calm "You are letting your team fall by not being with them. It's no longer about you or Ruby or even Freddy. You put your team before yourself and if you can't do that," Bonnie began to walk back to his dorm before looking back at them with his magenta eyes glowing. To Ruby or Jaune, they saw it in a supernatural light.

"Then you aren't fit to be at Beacon, false or not." missing both Jaune's shock and Ruby's confusion, Bonnie left, hoping to see if Jaune's resolve is strong. However, Jaune and Ruby swore they saw a ghostly child, giggling as it floated next to the rabbit.

Chica looked at her scroll as she waited for a reply as she noticed the call from last night. Apparently, Bonnie's cousin actually responded to her message and said he'll be there. Hearing her cupcake laughing, she looked up in time to hear Foxy sounding confused.

"Sap makes them high?" "Well, they are bears" was the response as Chica giggled. Freddy had a glazed over look in his usually bright blue eyes, nose in the air smelling the sap, while Goldie seemed to be confused, stumbling a bit before the smell made him giggle.

Sighing, Chica walked over to Professor Goodwitch, who was explaining the assignment to RWBY, JNPR and CRDL. Clearing her throat, Chica spoke.

"Professor?" Glynda turned in time to see Freddy fall over and Goldie bursting into laughter, falling over as well. This unnerved her a bit, as she looked at Chica for an explanation "Apparently, They got high of the smell of the sap and I do not think they'll be helping us." Glynda nodded in understanding and used her semblance to lift the bears, moving them back into the bullhead.

"Mr. Kiryu, you're in charge of Team FNAF for this assignment." Bonnie nodded and grabbed a box of jars, motioning his friends to follow. As they moved, Foxy couldn't help but narrow his eyes at Jaune and Cardin.

Foxy was busy collecting sap before his ears twitched. The pirate fox paused before using his advance hearing to listen, his eyes widening as he heard Cardin state that if he doesn't throw a jar of sap at Pyrrha, he would tell Professor Goodwitch that his transcripts are fake.

Quickly and quietly, Foxy moved closer to the group, using the raising of voices to track them. He was about to climb a tree when he witnessed Jaune tossing the jar at Cardin, covering the latter's chest in sap. Sky and Dove attacked Jaune, pushing him into Cardin, who picked him up.

As Cardin slammed a punch into Jaune, his aura flared, reflecting the force back, Foxy had gotten into the clearing, hand on his cutlass as a roar rang out, alerting the other students and making them look at where the noise came from.

Foxy, Jaune and Team CRDL watch as an Ursa Major charges out of the woods, towards Cardin. Before any of them react, however, two spiked pinsers pick it up and, shocking the group, rip it in half. Standing behind it was a new threat, one that looked down on them at a devastating 8 ft 9".

"What the?... What is that?!" screamed Sky as Foxy spoke, looking panicked. "A Pincross!" It stood on two legs that connected to a black armoured body with a set of hidden wings that were sharp enough to cut trees. Two long arms supporting its weight from the front as its white pincers and black spiked horn protruded from its white exoskeleton head. Its red mirror-like eyes focused on Cardin, more importantly, the sap and let out an odd cry of insectoid noises.

As Sky, Dove and Russel ran off in fear and Foxy left to go get help, the Pincross raised a two fingered fist and threw it forwards, making Cardin and Jaune dodge from it. Jaune's eyes widened seeing Cardin land on his butt, crawling away as Jaune brought out his weapons when a roaring sound was heard. The two hunters-in-training and the grimm looked up as an orange motorcycle smashed into the Pincross's face, the front wheel upsetting its balance.

An orange booted foot landed in the dirt in front of them as a deep chuckle made Jaune and Cardin's eyes widen in surprise "A Pincross? Haven't fought one yet," The two saw the orange leather clothes and spikes as two orange rabbit ears bounced. It was amle in terms of build, focusing more on speed and swift strikes. He looked at Jaune with glowing orange eyes that had a sense of fire in them, one that was never to be put out. The Pincross managed to righten itself and glared at the offending party

"Jaune Arc?" the person asked, nodding, "Fight with me, let us take this Grimm out." Jaune hesitantly got into a fighting stance as the rabbit brought out a jack-o-lantern styled bomb and a pink 8-bit sword. The rabbit grinned before saying "Left leg back, right leg forward. Shield up, sword lax but not too lax for your swings to make it fly out of your hold." Jaune followed the instructions of this mysterious fellow to a T.

"Charge!" both rushed, unaware of Chica, Foxy, Weiss, Ruby and Pyrrha watching in the bushes. They were surprised to see the two fight the grimm as Cardin scrambled to get up. If it went for the rabbit, he would call out to Jaune, who would strike. If it went for the inexperienced Arc, a bomb would explode in its face. The rabbit then tossed another one of the bombs, which went off and exploded into forty-five other bombs, each landing a hit on the Pincross's chest and cracking the exoskeleton breastplate.

"Arc, High right!." Jaune looked and quickly blocked the punch before the Halloween rabbit summoned a ghostly version of the brown bear, which floated at the insectoid grimm. The pale blue ghost froze the Pincross's right arm before Jaune realised and quickly chopped off the limb. Because it was turned to stone, it made the job easier and the bug screamed.

But still, it wasn't giving up the fight and charged at the duo, wanting to impale one of them. It focused on the exhausted Arc, sensing weakness. As Pyrrha was about to help Jaune, raising a hand to use her semblance, when the fiery rabbit tossed his pixel sword. It went flying through the air before impaling the insect Grimm through the chest and out the back.

It paused and began to crumble into dust, leaving behind a wing patterned shield. The ghostly Freddy disappeared as the new guy assisted Jaune up. "Who are you?" the Arc asked, in awe and respect. The guy chuckled, before grabbing the shield and handing it to Jaune.

"Jackson Oliver Kiryu. But call me Jack-O-Bonnie. I'm your new tourtor in the art of the Swordsman. And Bonnie's cousin." Jaune looked stunned before hearing Cardin cough a bit, the dust from the punch getting in his face.

"Holy…." Jaune walked over to Cardin and spoke "I'll leave you alone if you leave my friends alone, got it?" Cardin nodded. Jaune began to leave as Jack-O-Bonnie grinned, following the Arc as the audience in the bush left, smiling in pride or awe at the tag team duo.

Team JNPR's door opened, startling Blake as she looked up from her book. It was nearing midnight and her team was asleep. Getting up ,the hidden faunus quietly went to the door and opened it, revealing Jaune walking down the hall.

Soon, she followed Jaune, curiosity pulling her along, into a training arena where Chica and Jack-O-Bonnie waited. Jaune walked over, nodded and withdrew his sword and shield, Chica doing the same with her greatsword. As both got into a fighting position, the orange rabbit faunus stepped back before yelling out.

"FIGHT" Blake watched as Chica owned Jaune quickly, utilising her stronger fighting style and experience over Jaune. The chicken faunus walked up and offered her hand to help him up. The Horrificator that was Jack-O-Bonnie then spoke up. "You have a long way to go Jaune, Prince of Arcadia. Let's try that again, this time with me teaching you what was wrong" Blake's eyes widened before relaxing, smiling and leaving the group unaware of Jack-O-Bonnie watching.

A soft chuckle escaped her lips on the way back "Good luck, Jaune Arc" as she walked to her dorm.

Bonnie sat on the roof, watching the moon with Goldie before both saw the air sparkle and shimmered. The two looked at each other and before looking back. Goldie gasped as Bonnie's jaw dropped. They couldn't believe their eyes.

This sudden phenomenon also caught the attention of the wolf, whose sapphire eyes widened in shock, and the plush rabbit, who looked stunned. They knew what this meant but wondered why it appeared.

In front of where the shattered moon was positioned, a tower was made. And somewhere, a person laughed.

And that's done. Yes, The Pincross is based off Pinser and Heracross from Pokemon (Owned by Nintendo) and yes, it killed the Ursa Jaune was meant to kill.

Hope you enjoyed another updated entry as well, got two more left to do before I return to the next story arc.
