years later…

I got out of the bullhead that took us to Beacon. I was uncomfortable with that thing. I could have vomited if I didn't have control over my emotions… and a lot of motion sickness pills that my mother shoved in my backpack.

My first impressions of Beacon were that there were too many people and that it was an enormous campus, but what got my attention was a statue of all the royal families with the Arc and Rose families in front. I stared at it for a few seconds, almost a minute; I was mesmerized. I was nothing compared to the man depicted in that statue.

In an instant, Raven put her hand on my shoulder and snapped me back to reality.

Then we heard an explosion and a lot of yelling, but we decided that we were not going to get involved,

"so, Jaune," Raven said. I looked at her and forgot about the explosion. "I like your look; black jacket with that metal gauntlet on your right arm, and those dark blue jeans make your butt more noticeable. And well, your new weapon and old strapped to the left and right of your back is cool," she said, looking at the arc hand me down, sticking out from his right shoulder and his new weapon on his left, both weapons cross each other on his back making and x

I nodded. "I have the blood of the Arc family and my parents wanted me to remember... They don't deserve to be forgotten." I said, touching the handle of the sword.

For some reason, I guess someone is a big fan and wanted to get Jaune's autograph. "ARC!" a little girl from the sky roared the name of Jaune's family. She then darted towards him in a matter of seconds. The blade of my second weapon hit the blade of her scythe. Her strength was amazing for a little girl.

Jaune deflected the scythe's impact to the side and put his leg on top of it on the ground; since the momentum was carrying her, she went flying and face-planted on the pavement.

"Who is that?" Raven asks me, looking at the girl on the ground.

My smile was sowing, "who knows." I said.

The girl recovered and got into her fighting stance without a weapon. "FIGHT ME, ARC!" she said.

I got close to her and smiled. My smile was evil. "you are a weak little girl." Jaune said, "You are a Rose, aren't you? I'm not my people. The same trick won't work twice."

The girl looked at me, confused.

"Your eyes didn't even react, Jaune," Raven said. "you don't think she is a tread?"

"Yeah, she is fast but lacks experience," I said.

Then I heard some heels power walking towards me. "I'm not done talking to you, Rose!" I turned around, and the girl looked at me, shocked, "And Arc on the flesh."

"What? do I have a neon sign on my head or something?" I said, looking at Raven.

But the girl in white pointed at my face. "your eyes are dark blue; the legends say that the only ones that had those eyes were the Arc clan."

"Oh... Yeah, I forgot I'm the last dark blue-eyed guy in the world... Wait, hold on, how the hell did you know I'm an arc? You didn't see my eyes at all." I turn to the girl with the scythe

"Our families had always been at war for generations. Of course, I will recognize my mortal enemy from so far away." I raised one of my eyebrows. "the guard of your sword has the arc emblem, " she said, pointing at it.

I looked at it; there it was. I didn't hate my family; I felt that all that power was not mine to use; I felt unworthy of the Arc name.

But before I could say something to the little girl, "Mr. Arc, I am pleased to meet you." a woman said, looking at her. She wasn't as pretty as Raven, but she was almost there. "Professor Ozpin is waiting for you in the conference room," she said, asking to follow her; she was blond with an amazing body.

"I'm sorry, but who might you be?" I said.

"oh, I'm sorry, my name is Glinda, Glinda Goodwitch; I'll be your combat instructor this year," she said.

"I see, so why does Professor Ozpin need to see me?" I ask, looking at Raven.

"There is a meeting that all the royal families need to attend."

"My father will be there. Could I go?" the girl with white hair said.

"My parents will be there too; I request permission to go, " the little black-haired girl said.

"I'm afraid this meeting is for the leaders of the royal families only, now, if you excuse us."

I looked at Raven, and she nodded. "I'll see you later." She kissed me on the cheek and smiled.

I had never gone down that many stairs leading to a secret room. I found myself in an enormous room with a long table in the middle and 13 chairs around it. One was empty; some older people looked my way. Most of them looked surprised except for two people who looked like my mother and what I assumed was her husband. They looked terrified.

"so... This is what is left of the great and powerful Arc family, what a shame." an enormous man said with his arms crossed.

I smiled brightly. "Sorry for the disappointment, but let me tell you something... I'm stronger than you, big boy." jaune said, pointing at the man.

The man got up, enraged. "A child stronger than me that is not pocibl-" the man stopped speaking. He was looking at me with horror in his eyes.

My eyes turned pure dark blue, and my smile turned blank as I stared at him. "Please sit back down," I said. The man fell to his seat. He was shaking.

"Mr. Arc, welcome." ozpin got up and pointed at the empty chair. "Please sit."

I obliged and sat down with my arms crossed. "As you all might know, the sealing of la Muerte has been broken now that the arcs have been almost extinct. There is almost no one that can face her without being forced into a constant state of fear," he said. He looked at me and then looked back at everyone else. "I summoned you all here because the world is again in danger."

"Then send this kid. His eyes are perfect for the job." a man with a green cape said, an eye patch on his left eye.

"Please don't say stupid shit like that. Last time, 25 Arcs were needed to seal la muerte." a woman with pink hair and a purple dress said as she smoked a cigarette.

"Bitch"

"Manwhore"

I looked at both of them. "I sense some sexual tension between the both of them," I said, pressing my chin against the table.

Everyone looked at me. "anyways that is the problem." ozpin said

Jaune raised his head and said, "So why am I here? I'm a kid like most of you are saying; oh, let me see, you want to shove me to the most dangerous being in the world with what I can assume is a stick and make me kill it, right?" Jaune said, looking around.

"I will not sugarcoat it, Mr. Arc. From what I have seen from your combat skills, you don't need another Academy. You need real-world experience, so yes, I want to send you on team missions that will prove extreme for a normal student," Ozpin said, crossing his arms.

Jaune chuckles, "Okay, I like that, straight to the point, so what will these cowards be doing? Hide in their kingdom while I bleed and get torn to shreds by Grimm?" I said. "because I know all of you, royal families, are bitches compared to the Arcs." Jaune said, taking out the weapon that his mother had helped him create and slamming the pommel to the ground.

Everyone flinched except for ozpin.

Ozpin stood silent as everyone else. I looked around. "right, well, I'll leave you guys to your battle strategies," I chuckled. "what a joke I said, smiling while I started to go towards the exit. " , please find me after the introduction. I still need to assign you a partner as skilled as you to help you in your training because I'm afraid Mrs. Xiao Long is weak; you know what this means, right?" Ozpin said.

I looked back at him "as you wish." I said, bowing down to him as I exited the door.

"They said they would assign me a teammate as skilled as me," I said, leaning toward a tree with Raven beside me.

"that can't be; that is madness; I don't allow it!" Raven said.

"Raven, I know how you feel, but it's better this way. I don't like the idea too, but you must understand I'm weak. I can defeat la Muerte as I am right now." Jaune said, holding ravens hand.

"Then maybe-" she stopped talking to look at his eyes.

"Raven, I need you to forget your love for me; I want you to find happiness with other people because I'm sure I will die before I turn 25. I can feel it." Jaune, I said, and Raven listened. She understood his feelings. There was almost no way he would be unharmed from saving the world from a god.

"We are friends, and we always will be friends, but I can't reciprocate your feelings towards me," I hugged Raven.

With tears in her eyes, Raven gasped. "so this is the friend zone... It's painful." she said, chuckling as she said it.

"I know, and I'm not the one who can decide what is best for you, but I think this is the best for me because, that way, the suffering will be less for you if I don't come back with a smile on my face," I said smiling brightly towards her.

That same smile always returns to that same fucking smile that burns brighter than the sun, a sun that someday will be no more.

Jaune enters Ozpin's office on top of the clock tower after Ozpin's speech at initiation.

"Ah, Mr. Arc, you are finally here," Ozpin said. There was a woman in front of Ozpin looking toward him. She had a bow on her head that resembled cat ears. "This is Blake Belladonna; she will be your partner for the next four years and maybe after Beacon."

Jaune looked at her. Her eyes were cat-like… she was a Faunus.

Hello, back at it again. Raven will not be a main love interest for jaune, but she will play a big part in defeating La Muerte or Salem because she is Salem but more powerful; she is more a god now than in the show. I am sorry for the people who wanted jaune to end up dating Raven and Ruby. Oh boy, what do I have for Ruby. She will suffer. That is all I'm saying. Jaune and Ruby's suffering will be somewhat cannon to the actual show.
