Battle in the Forever Fall!
"Alright team, tomorrow is the field trip class with Professor Goodwitch, so let's make sure we're all prepared and try to do anything crazy. That means you Nora." Jaune glared at hammer-wielding girl.
"Relax, Fearless Leader, it's not like I could set the whole forest on fire." Nora chuckled, which made him worry more.
"Ren, please make sure Nora behaves." Jaune asked his fellow male teammate.
"I'll do my best." Ren nodded.
"I believe the purpose of the field trip for helping Professor Peach with an errand in the Forever Fall, but she's too busy with her work to handle it herself." Pyrrha recalled what Miss Goodwitch at the end of today's class.
"I'm curious Pyrrha, why is it called the Forever Fall?" Jaune asked his girlfriend.
Girlfriend? That word still feels a little weird to Jaune ever since last week Pyrrha made her confession of love to him on the dorm rooftop and started dating since then, Jaune is still new to being in a relationship because he never been on a single date like EVER and Pyrrha doesn't have any dating experience either. Which is weird to him consider his partner is a celebrity he figures she must've gone out with a few guys in the past, but he guess that even super stars like her are having trouble finding love these days.
"It's called that because some explorers were walking in the forest admiring the beauty of all the trees with red leaves everywhere and no other color leaves in sight. It's like the red keeps going on, further to the horizon they say which dub the name Forever Fall." Pyrrha explained.
"Wow, you sure know a lot about forest than just your fighting skills." Jaune amazed that the red-haired champion's knowledge.
"Oh stop, it was nothing, I only read about those during my studies in Argus." Pyrrha blushed of her boyfriend's compliments.
"Well, then your brain is as big as your beauty." Jaune flirted and kissed her on the lips as she kisses him back for a few seconds.
"Man, I still can't believe Pyrrha actually made her move on you WAAAAAAAY sooner than me and Ren thought." Nora said.
"I'm still surprised that you two knew about her feelings for me all along." Jaune admitted.
"It wasn't our place to speak for her feelings, we wanted to give her the chance when the time was right." Ren explained.
"And the time was indeed right, I'm still embarrass of how I just kissed you like that." Pyrrha chuckled as her face is slightly turning red.
"I was surprised by that too, and I enjoyed every moment of it." Jaune pulled Pyrrha into a hug as she hugs him back.
"I can definitely here wedding bells in the future!" Nora excited, pretending to here bells at a church and also imagining the two having lots of babies together.
"Cool it on the extreme imagination, Nora. We're still new to the whole dating thing." Jaune stated.
"Yes, we're taking our relationship one step at a time before we can decide on anything else." Pyrrha added.
"But Ren and I will be invited to your wedding, right? I want to be the Maiden of Honor and Ren can be the Best Man!" Nora planned herself and Ren a big role.
"Yes, Nora, you and Ren have those roles if we do decide to get married." Jaune chuckled at Nora's hyper-childish personality that may never change.
"(More like "when" we'll have our wedding.)" Pyrrha thought, holding Jaune's hand.
"I bet Weiss faint again like when you two announced your official relationship." Nora laughed.
"Yeah, guess the Heiress of the Schnee Company didn't expect a like me to gain an amazing girlfriend like her." Jaune laughed too. Remembering the time last week when he and Pyrrha told everyone and Weiss was frozen stiff at first until she fell on her back to the floor.
"Well, at least everyone else took in the news well." Pyrrha reminded him of their other friends like team RWBY.
"Like Yang making the constant teasing and Ruby… actually, I notice was acting a little strange for the past week, maybe something is bothering her." Jaune wondered what's going on with Ruby now.
"Maybe she ran out of chocolate chip cookies and going on a withdraw." Nora guessed. Knowing how the red cape wearing girl loves her cookies.
"No, I think it's something more personally than her love for cookies." Jaune said.
"(Actually, I think I know what's bothering with Ruby, but I'll need to talk to her tomorrow during the field trip.)" Pyrrha thought figured out what's on Ruby's mind.
"Speaking of something personally, there's actually something I want to talk to you about Pyrrha." Jaune said.
"What is it, Jaune?" Pyrrha asked, hoping it's nothing serious or anything.
"Before I tell you…" Jaune turned his head to Nora and Ren. "Mind if we step outside, it's something that I want to tell Pyrrha first before anyone." He asked.
"Sure, just know that whatever is bothering you, you have friends who can help you." Ren reminded his leader that he's not alone.
Jaune smile, feeling lucky that he has made such great friends like team JNPR and RWBY, he holds onto Pyrrha's hand and they teleported out of the room to the rooftop of the dorm.
"So, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" Pyrrha asked.
"Well, it's… about my talk with Headmaster Ozpin." Jaune sighed, knowing it isn't easy to admit the truth to her.
"You mean about your last meeting with him?" Pyrrha asked again.
"Yeah, there's actually more than I let on… and I think you have the right to know since you're my girlfriend." Jaune said.
Pyrrha was nervous about what Jaune is about to say probably is a deep secret that is not easy to talk about probably something he did in the past and he's regretting it, but she's glad that Jaune can trust her with his secret and will promise to not tell anyone about it until he says it's okay.
"I… I never really went to any combat schools nor was I ever trained how to fight." Jaune revealed.
"What… what do you mean?" Pyrrha confused.
"You see, I come from a family of warriors who were heroes in their own rights to protect everyone and fighting the Grimm started from great-great grandfather. I wanted to be one too, but I was never good enough. Not even my own family believed in me" Jaune explained of his past feeling sad.
"I'm… I'm sure your family were just worried for your safety." Pyrrha reassured, knowing how parents can be for their kids.
"I know, even when they said not to worry if I end up moving back home, deep down I know they love me and are proud of me that I was going to Beacon. Maybe they're having a hard time that their only son is growing up to reach his dream though my seven sisters were very overprotective." Jaune chuckled nervous at the last part about his sisters.
"Wait, seven sisters?!" Pyrrha gasped.
"That's right, I have seven sisters and one my older ones is married with a son. Anyway, because my family not wanting to train, I decided to do some secret training on my own, but I still had a problem of getting into Beacon." Jaune said, looking up at the night sky.
"So, if you never went to any combat school and your parents never trained you then that would mean you got into by…" Pyrrha paused, realizing what Jaune did.
"Yep, I faked my way in with a fake transcript and you wanna know what the weirdest part is… Ozpin knew about it all along." Jaune revealed.
"Wait, so the Headmaster knew about your fake transcript?" Pyrrha surprised.
"He said that he saw a strong potential that I can become a great Huntsman one day even before I got my Chaos power." Jaune explained the Headmaster's reason.
"That's amazing Jaune, catching the eye of Headmaster Ozpin himself a great feat alone!" Pyrrha impressed.
"You think, I was surprised to here all that coming from a great man like him." Jaune said, scratching the back of his head.
"So, you okay what I told you… about my fake transcript and all?" Jaune asked.
"Well, Jaune, at first I was angry that you lied to me and our friends about this… however, hearing that the Headmaster is letting you train here makes me believe that it's your destiny to be here." Pyrrha smiled proudly.
"Destiny? I never consider that, but I guess it's something special." Jaune said.
"Jaune, I'm 100% serious about my feelings for you and I'll support in anyway I can." Pyrrha said and kissed him for a minute.
"Thank Pyrrha, I don't what would I do without you." Jaune smiled, almost like he's about to cry as he hugs her.
"And I wouldn't mind sharing you with other girls." Pyrrha chuckled.
"Yeah… wait, what?" Jaune confused of what Pyrrha just said.
"Oh, nothing." Pyrrha giggled as she walks away leaving a confuses Jaune.
(Tomorrow, Forever Fall)
"Yes, students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sight-see. Professor Peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so." Glynda instructed the students.
"Okay team, let's be sure gather as many saps as we can!" Jaune ordered.
"Yeah!" His team cheered.
"And make sure Nora doesn't eat them all!" Jaune added.
"Yeah!" Ren and Pyrrha cheered.
"Hey!" Nora angered.
"Jaune, mind if I go hang out with Ruby for a while?" Pyrrha asked as Ruby became confuses when she heard that.
"Sure, I don't mind." Jaune granted her permission.
He then notices team CRDL looking at him with dead-serious in their eyes, especially Cardin as he gave the Ultimate Arc the "follow me" single and they walk away from the group. Jaune doesn't know what Cardin is up to, but with his power there's nothing he can't handle, so what's the worst that could happen.
"So, Ruby… you in love with Jaune?" Pyrrha asked in a teasing tone making Ruby blushing-gasps.
Soon, Jaune follows team CRDL to a wide-open area.
"Okay Cardin, whatever you want with me, let's make it quick." Jaune said.
"Relax, Jauney boy, this will be short and… sweet." Cardin smirked sinisterly.
Cardin took out his mace and dash at Jaune for attack as he blocks it with his shield, turning this into a stalemate though Cardin seem to have other plans.
"Now!" Cardin shouted.
Russel, Dove, and Sky quickly act and threw three jaws of the raspberry-colored tree saps at Jaune shattering and splashing the saps all over Jaune.
"Now, let see if you can handle a few bugs as according to the essay I did myself these Rapier Wasps loooove sweets, I wonder how they like an extra Arc as the filling?" Cardin asked sarcastically as Russel handed his leader the box of wasps.
"So, that's your revenge plan?" Jaune asked, not impress.
"Let see how Pyrrha will like seeing your face all fucked up!" Cardin threw the waspsp box at Jaune as it slowly opens.
However, what Cardin forget is Jaune's power over the energy of Chaos as he took out the red Chaos Emerald.
"Chaos Control" Then the saps on Jaune vanished and appeared on three of Cardin's teammates.
The three were shocked to find the saps on themselves as Jaune caught the box and opens it, letting out all the wasps that were trapped inside and they smell the sweet scent of the sap on them then flew toward forcing them to run away while screaming for their life leaving Cardin alone.
"Well, well, looks like your plan backfired." Jaune mocked.
Cardin was so angry that he didn't even notice the strangle large Grimm behind him and got swept away by its large paw crashing into a tree unconscious. The Grimm looks like an Ursa but there is a big difference than the regular ones: it seems larger about 10 and a half feet tall, it has four arms with longer and sharper claws, more bone-armor covering most of its backside, few on the arms, and on the chest area, and its eyes are glowing red with red-mist aura emitting from it.
Then Jaune notice something that is attached to its forehead.
"(Wait, is that… a Chaos Emerald?)" Jaune thought gasped seeing a white Chaos Emerald and see that it has somehow powered up that Ursa majorly.
The Ursa roars so loud that it can be heard back at the group of students and Glynda while they were collecting the tree sap as they became worried.
"Damn it, looks like I'm off bear hunting this season." Jaune grunted as he took out his sword and shield ready for battle.
(Music-Burn it Down: Skillet-Unleashed)
The Ursa charges at with surprising great speed almosting hitting him with its claws if Jaune had not dodge it at the last second and spin like a top slashing at the arm striking the spots where it isn't covered in bone-armor then he ran away to keep the distance whole he thinks of a plan. The Ursa ran after him on all six catching up to him though not close enough to attack, Jaune led it to a tree as he ran up the wooden body and the "Chaos Ursa" as Jaune would like to call it leaps at the tree knocking it down. Jaune jumps off doing a backflip and lands on the back then starts slashing at blinding speed though it didn't do much damage to the armor, but he stiped the opening spot deep which causes the Chaos Ursa to roar in pain and try shaking Jaune off.
"Okay, I think I'm getting bored of this ride." Jaune said before pulling his sword and jumping off back on the ground.
"I need to get that emerald off that bear before it could cause anymore damage." Jaune said to himself as he starts running around the Grimm and slashing at the legs.
The Ursa didn't like that and jumps high a few feet above the trees and came down for a giant belly-slam as Jaune moved out of the way and the impact made some cracks an it's body-shaped crater and caused an earthquake for a couple of seconds.
"Chaos Spear" Jaune fired the Chaos Spears the Chaos Ursa impaling them to its right side and they exploded for the bear monster to roar in pain, but it wouldn't go down like that as it got turns to Jaune.
It charges at Jaune again swinging all four of its clawed-paws for a rapid strike, he manages to dodge all of them and reflecting them with his shield while striking at the exposed side of the arms that are not covered in armor.
"Spin Dash Attack" Jaune launched himself at the stomach below the chest-armor pushing the Chaos Ursa to stumble back several feet.
Then he jumps toward the stomach again piercing his sword into it then he runs to the left while dragging his sword to tear the side through making the beast roar louder in pain and getting angrier as it picks up some parts of the ground throwing the rocks at Jaune. The Ultimate Arc hatched a plan to get to the emerald; by jumping and running on the rocks its throwing using them as a path to get closer while slicing through some other rocks too until he finally made it on the forehead.
(Music End)
"Alright, now I just need… to…" Jaune tried pulling the emerald off only to find that it's really stuck and struggle to get it loose.
The Chaos Ursa saw a large, sharp-looking branch on a tree thinking that it could impale the human while he was trying to steal its shiny thing that made it more powerful than ever. The giant black bear ran towards it at full-speed and Jaune turns around to see that hurrying up to get the emerald off, but in vain. The sharp branch was getting closer and Jaune has to think of something fast.
Then suddenly Jaune felt something in his head like an idea pops out that will help him win, it was like Shadow was helping him, and so Jaune took a deep breath and shouted two words.
(Music-All Hail Shadow: Crush 40)
"Chaos Control" With that, the Chaos Ursa suddenly stop moving right when the sharp branch was an inch away to Jaune's back, along with everything stops moving.
Jaune look around seeing everything is frozen in place, like time has suddenly stopped.
"No fucking way, I can stop time? This is amazing!" Jaune shouted in joy then he got an idea.
He first pierces his sword between the emerald and spot of the forehead its on, moving it left to right until the emerald finally loosen and pulls it out. He jumps off landing safely on the ground and with just a thought he undid the frozen time, letting time move again the Chaos Ursa ends up impaling itself in the spot where the Chaos Emerald was right through the skull and snapping the branch off.
The Chaos Ursa's body starts to shrink down back it's normal sizes with the four arms and extra features disappearing then it disintegrates into black ashes then nothing.
(Music End)
"Phew, that bear was definitely not a hugger." Jaune joked as he looks at the white emerald in his hand and walk back to the group doubt worrying about him.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Once again, Jaune showed team CRDL is never mess with him by using their own revenge plan against them… and ended up fighting a bear Grimm that was somehow powered by a Chaos Emerald which was very difficult for him to deal with. Luckily, he also discovered that he can use Chaos Control to freeze time just in the nick of time and grabbed the second Chaos Emerald. But that will still leave him worry about if a stronger Grimm got a Chaos Emerald, or someone worse than any Grimm.
