Yup another Arcalibur chapter honestly wracked my head over writing this but hey at least its out hope you like it

Jaune Arc had never been the greatest fighter hell he would have called himself the worse trainee huntsman in Beacon, even with his training from Pyrrah he could only barely squeak out a win against his fellow trainee huntsmen.

Jaune told himself that he just had to keep pushing keep on training and he would catch up with them, but he knew he was too far behind no matter what amount of training he did he wouldn't be able to catch up to any one of his classmates even someone like Ruby who was 2 years younger than him was a better fighter than him.

Sure without Crescent Rose, she was easy to take down but that's if you could catch her first, her semblance allowing her to outrun anyone before they even got the idea, this led to another problem with Jaune, his lack of semblance. Sure not everyone in his class had discovered their semblance but most of them had, leaving the blonde to rely on his larger than average Aura pool to win against his super-powered classmates with the strategy for either tanking hits or dodging and it wasn't very effective if his win to loss ratio was anything to go by.

But Jaune Arc would catch up no matter how hard he tried the blonde refused that to be true that he would be stuck at the bottom, he continued training, harder than before in the hopes that he could close the gap and after a while he did. When it came to his pure physical strength and size, he had most of the first years besides Cardin, Yang and Nora beat in that aspect, but then he ran into another roadblock.

His weapon, Crocea Mors had been in the Arc family since the time of his Great Great grandfather, a weapon that seemed to withstand the passage of time. Remaining sharp and pristine in the hands of every Arc heir that ever wielded it.

Every Arc that takes up the blade is taught how to properly wield the sword and shield, Jaune never got that training. His parent's adamant refusal of his want to be a huntsman, deprived him of the training he needed if he ever wanted to use the blade properly. Jaune never said this to Pyrrah during their many spars, but he always felt like he was using Crocea Mor's wrong whenever she taught him how to use her style of combat.

Jaune had nearly given up on catching up with his classmates his lack of experience and familiarity with his weapon was what held him back, that changed when he found Excalibur. The sword that fused with Crocea Mors felt right in his hands every time he fought with it, he could feel like it was leading his strikes, though he hadn't had the blade for long he knew with its pointers he had improved leaps and bounds than what he used to be.

The blade though different still felt like Crocea Mors in his hands just added with something else, with the weapons "teachings" Jaune had beaten a Petra Gigas even when the apparent sword had turned into a shield when he switched into Galahad, it still taught him but the person who felt different than Excalibur, but they were just as good as it.

Then weapon had helped him beat Torchwick, sure he had caught the man off guard when he didn't expect how fast Pendragon made him and mostly overpowered the man with his strikes, but hey he won sure he got away but that was because of Neo getting the jump on him, yeah definitely Neo's fault.

Then the weapon changed again when he had fought Yang, while normally Jaune would be dreading fighting his fellow more hot-headed blonde but with Pendragon or Galahad he felt like he could at least give her a fight.

Although instead of getting either of the forms he was more experienced with he got a new one and it was really different from the other two, instead of a sword or even a shield, he got a pair of bronze-colored clawed metal gauntlets, and a white lion with a golden mane that was made from his Aura. One true thing was that the gauntlets looked sick, but there was a major problem no matter how cool they looked, Jaune didn't really know how to fight hand to hand.

Panic of course ensued but then the "teacher", of this new form settled in but it was different instead of it feeling like another person was giving him advice or guiding and reassuring him like the others.

This one was more like it was his own body giving him the advice, it was more instinctual. Jaune knew how to block and how to dodge he moved his body around, and he fought like he always used his fists.

But it wasn't like he was fighting like a master of hand to hand no, he fought like an animal fast and hard, and when Yang had given both him and his lion an opening they took advantage of it not letting up on the girl.

During that whole fight, Jaune had to admit it was great, the rush of the battle getting knocked around and hitting her back, hell even when he saw her semblance build-up he wasn't afraid like he would normally be no, instead he was excited at the idea of her becoming stronger, at the thrill of a tough opponent.

Jaune had never felt like that before but he just embraced it he relished in his new bestial instincts he didn't say much during that fight as he was busy focusing on winning the form gave him an urge to win, he needed to win he was no longer satisfied with just giving a good fight, he now wanted to win with everything he had.

After he and his lion had Yang on the ropes they both roared, it wasn't really a battle cry it was a roar of victory, a roar that said that it was their win, it felt right to Jaune to do at the time.

Then the final blow and confirmation from Goodwitch had felt great to Jaune he had actually beaten Yang, he had beaten one of the best first years in the school, sure it was by the skin of his teeth but he had won. He had removed the helmet of Ywain and celebrated with his Aura lion it was made from his soul so it must have felt what he felt the taste of victory. But his newest form hadn't just granted him a fancy new armor, gauntlets, and Lion, it gave him more… animal-like characteristics.

"Whoa fearless leader, you have kitty ears now!"

Which has led to his current situation, surrounded by his team and team RWBY during lunch, with Nora messing with his new Faunas traits. Petting his new ears, but he wasn't opposed to it, in fact, the scratching felt nice, not that he would say that.

"Nora, think you're making Jaune uncomfortable."

To the surprise of most of the group it was Blake who spoke up, for Nora to stop her shenanigans, huh usually it would be Ren. Nora in response just stuck her tongue out to the other girl.

"Well fearless leader, want me to stop?~" god he didn't but he had to put his foot down he must have looked so dumb with his body trying to get closer to the girl for more scritches, but he was too weak to resist them, Jaune turned towards his Aura lion, who he had decided to name Fang, sure it wasn't really creative but Fang didn't seem to mind.

Said Lion was close to Pyrrah where he was suffering the same fate as he was by the champion, but while Jaune wanted to escape the assault of heavenly scratches Fang merely embraced them. The lion felt his call for help and merely gave the blonde an amused look.

'Traitor' As Jaune resigned to his fate and the betrayal of his own soul lion, his savior appeared.

"Nora, I feel like Jaune would like for you to stop" Ren Juane's brother from another mother, he would have to get the guy something after this.

Nora merely pouted before reluctantly stopping, to both the relief and disappointment of the young knight. Jaune recomposed himself a blush still dusting his cheeks and let a silent thank you to Ren, he was sure he would never break out on his own.

"So Vomit boy, you sure that was a good idea, saying that it was your semblance"

Yeah, after the fight and the subsequent reveal, questions of course came, like how did he do that, and what's with the ears and fangs so Jaune answered what first came to his mind. That it was an effect of his Semblance, yeah yeah but it was more believable than saying his sword did it.

Professor Goodwitch and some of his classmates were suspicious, but they accepted the answer, considering how some people can have outlandish semblances.

"I mean what was I supposed to say, Yang, that my sword is magic and did it, people would think I was crazy."

The girl had to agree with him, they thought he was when he had told him, Yang then gained a predatory smirk.

"Oh vomit boy don't think I forgot what you did to my hair, you're gonna be eating dirt next time"

Jaune smirked at Yang's declaration, his eyes burning in anticipation at the challenge.

"Oh, really Yang, last time I checked I put you in the dirt."

Yang's eyes widened, she expected June to back down, but look at him manning up. Her eyes turned from their usual lilac to red, matching Juanes own zeal.

"Oh really Vomit-boy you get one win and now you think hot stuff, well you got lucky you can't handle me." both blonde hair fighters stood up and got in the other face, neither backing down, Nora and Ruby cheering for their respective team member. "Well yang, I think can handle you, I can handle you all day long~" He gave her a toothy smile, which the other girl returned ok she wasn't expecting this.

"Well, well Loverboy~" The girl's smirk had turned it a full-blown hungry smile " I might take you up on that offer."

"Xiao-long, Arc!" Both blonds were broken out of their own little world Weiss's voice, Jaune realizing what he was doing stumbled back and fell flat on his butt. The young knight turned his head and saw Fang snickering at him, damn lion, he then stood up rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. Yang still held her smirk, while Weiss looked like a tomato, with an annoyed look. Ren held an amused look

while Nora was upset that he had backed off, then there was bBake who was still staring at him and had been staring at him ever since he had changed in Ywain, weird.

"Ow!" The group turned to see Cardin, tugging harshly on the ears of brown-haired rabbit Faunas.

"Hey, look told you they were real, haha what a freak!"

Everyone looked on in disappointment, well everyone besides Cardin and his team who were laughing it up at the girl's plight. Jaune clenched his fist and Fang growled at the boys. He wouldn't stand for this, he couldn't stand for this, Jaune walked towards the group.

"Huh, what you want Jauney-agh!"

Jaune had pulled back his fist and buried it into Cardin's face sending the bigger teen rolling away, his eyes burned with animalistic fury. Cardin got up and clutched his sore cheek and glared at Jaune.

"I see how it is, you change into one of those freaks and now you feel some sympathy for them huh!?" The older boy scrambled up and walked over to Jaune. Both refused to back down, a fight was about to break out.

"What is going on here!?"

Or one would have if not for the appearance of one Glynda Goodwitch, the entrance of the combat instructor caused both teens to back off, but they still glared at one an other.

"Mister Arc, Mister Winchester I expected the both of you to be more mature than fighting outside of combat class, detention for the both of you and Mister Arc, follow me to the headmaster's office."

Detention Jaune could deal with, but the mention of going to the headmaster's office made his heart sink, was his transcripts found out so fast, oh god he was about to be kicked out wasn't he?

Jaune reluctantly followed Glynda to the headmaster's office with Fang trailing the both of them, as Jaune entered he resigned himself to the fate that he would be kicked out. Ozpin sat at his desk with a mug of hot coffee next to him.

"Ah Mister Arc, take a seat please"

Jaune pulled a seat as the Headmaster took a small sip from his mug and let out a content sigh before facing Jaune.

"Now Mister Arc, I believe you're wondering why I called you here"

Jaune was pretty sure it was about his false transcripts but held hope it wasn't.

"Why I'm here to ask you about you're sword, and where you came to find it I see it's not the Arc heirloom Crocea Mors."

June let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding, ok not about his transcripts he could deal with this. Besides, he could trust the headmaster with how he got Excalibur.

"It's quite the story sir." and so Jaune regaled the tale of how he came to find Excalibur, including the run from the Petra Gigas but leaving out his encounter with Torchwick, he didn't want to get in trouble for fighting a criminal.

"So you found it, in a cave?" If Jaune didn't know any better he sounded annoyed, but he must be hearing things, he nodded and the headmaster continued. "And it allows you to change into different armors with different weapons and abilities, and the one you are now, Ywain, is what gave you the traits of a lion Faunas"

Jaune confirmed again " I know it sounds crazy but it really happened, let me power down and show you." Jaune turned to Fang who he gave a silent goodbye but the lion merely gave him a look that said they would see each other again, the young knight powered down, with the fangs and extra ears disappearing, and Fang turned into wisps of Aura that he absorbed, leaving him in his usual clothes with Excalibur sheathed on his hip.

He readily unsheathed the sword and showed it to the older man as he did, Excalibur glowed slightly and Jaunes eyes widened a bit.

"Um sir, Excalibur says it recognizes you." this caused Ozpin to raise his brow before smiling and letting out a slight chuckle

"Well, that would make sense mister Arc, considering I was familiar with Excaliburs' former wielder" he answered in a somber tone

The headmaster's answer caused Juanes eyes to further widen "You knew him, wait so that means." Jaune's expression turned somber, a former wielder could have meant that he merely could have found a different weapon, but Ozpin's tone suggested something else.

"I'm afraid you are correct Mister Arc, Arthur is long gone, but I'm sure he would be content that his weapon is serving another young knight."

Jaune gazed into Excalibur's blade, the metal reflected a face simial to his own but the key difference was the determined green eyes, Jaune steeled himself he knew what he had to do.

"Don't worry sir, ill live up to his memory, I promise" Ozpin saw passion burning in his eyes mirroring, someone he knew from long ago.

The headmaster led out a chuckle, looks like the sword has a type, seems like it's blonde bright-eyed knights who want to prove themselves.

"I believe you Mister Arc, now go on then, you don't want to be late for your detention if I am correct?"

At the mention of his detention Jaune visibly deflated, he had forgotten about that, bringing a chuckle out of the headmaster as he watched the blonde somberly walk out of his office to his fate.

When Jaune exited his office the man closed his eyes, seeing Excaibur had brought up long-buried memories.

Ozpin allowed his mind to wander into those memories, remembering a young man dressed in armor staring off into the horizon his piercing emerald eyes looking on into the distance sword in hand, he gave off a feeling of confidence and hope.

Then the scene changed, Ozpin was still looking at the same blonde but his blonde hair had been caked in blood his bright green eyes dulled, and his armor was damaged with a gash across it as blood leaked from the wound.

'Arthur, forgive me, if I was a bit faster I may have been able to assist you, the least I can do is help the boy'

Jaune liked sleep especially when he had a nice snug warm pillow, like the one he had right now, it was nicely soft and seemed to pull him closer he buried his head deeper into his pillow. Yup Jaune loved to sleep and he loved his pillows, so nice soft, and warm, he never wanted to leave.

"Fearless Leader who's that!"

And Nora had to ruin it, and what was she on about, it was just him and his pillow, he reached up and grabbed the softest part of it, the place he was shoving his face into.

"Hmmm~"

Ok that was weird but he was sure that it was nothing, Jaune continued to snuggle into his comfy pillow.

"My My, someone bold~." Jaune felt a finger trace up his body sensually before stopping at his face, and he felt hot breath blow into his ear "Not that I mind.~"

"Who are you and what are you doing in Jaunes bed!?"

Ok now Pyrrahs yelling and he was pretty sure pillows cant do that, Jaune darted up from his bed and rubbed his eyes and saw there was indeed someone in his bed.

He saw a beautiful fair-skinned woman with snow-white hair, with slight bits of pink in them, her eyes were bright pink, and she was breathtaking.

But what Jaune noticed was what she was wearing in his bed, or what she wasn't wearing, she was naked and Jaune was in his boxers, he had switched from his bunny onesie after enough jokes from Yang and others, mostly Yang.

Jaune then looked where his hands were, the softest part of the pillow, being the mysterious woman's wonderful cleavage. She held slight blush but didn't seem to care, Jaune pulled back his hand his mind trying to comprehend what was going on. The woman sat up with all her glory showing, she pushed her face towards Jaune and tenderly clutched his head.

"See something you like.~" and planted a chaste kiss on the boy's lips, yup he could die happy now and the blonde passed out with a dopey smile on his face with the woman giggling and his team screaming out his name

Yup Proto merlin, why? cause we need more proto merlin besides she's cute and im using Arthur not Artoria abd Jaune needs a teacher besides a sword. Goddamn this getting farther from Kamen Rider and leading into Fate , eh don't care im just using names and characters for inspiration for suits, so shes probably the only one that'll show up
