This was one of, if not the first story I started writing for this profile, I hope you enjoy, I put a lot of work into it. I've never enjoyed the planning, but it was actually pretty fun. The only part I don't really like was the start.
A red haired girl flies through the air, cackling madly.
"Wohoooo! Now, where is Renny." Still falling from the sky, nora puts her hand on her forehead like a salute and looks around, forming the most serious expression she could.
"Hmmm... Oh right!" She looks around, then looks down to see the ground approaching.
She pulls out a hammer as tall as her, made of pure metal and explosions.
"Hm, I feel like using landing two today." She winds her hammer back, positioning the back of it's head to her feet, and then she fires a grenade from it.
It explodes, launching Nora forward, and just when she's about to hit the ground, she swings her hammer.
*BOOM*
"Pyrrha!" The redhead hears someone scream, as the ground around her hammer's hit destroys everything around her, launching debree and a random girl around.
"Woah! What was that?" Nora points to the girl still falling through the air.
"That was! Uhm, a very nice girl, and you just sent her flying!" The blonde boy stuck in a tree by a spear said, looking directly into her eyes.
Into her eyes.
'The next person who you meet eye with will be your partner for the next four years, blah blah blah, I'm Ozpin' Nora remembered how the partner system works, then she fell to her knees, hammer imbedded to the ground.
And then she yelled
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME!? Now I'm stuck withyouuu!" Nora pointed to the blonde boy, tears falling from her eyes like a waterfall.
"Wha? What didIdo!? You were the one who crashed in here and sent my, err, my potential partner away! Are we friends yet?" He pulled the spear, falling off the tree and suprisingly not slamming face first into the ground. He muttered that last part.
"Noooo... Renny *sniff* I'm sorry! I didn't want to be with this- *sniff*This dumb blonde!" She wails.
Jaune was not happy with his new partner. Not at all.
"Well, I didn't want to be with you either! I would much rather be with Ruby, or Pyrrha, or that pretty girl from before." He humphed, looking away to where Pyrrha was launched to.
"Pyrrha! Are you okay!?" He yelled out, just to make sure the champion was fine.
"... Yeah! Are you?" She yelled back from wherever she was in the forest.
"Yeah, I'm fine! I'll give you your spear when we meet again!"
"Thanks! And I found a partner!" She thanked.
"Me too! Who's yours?" He asked.
"Her name is Ruby!"
"Come on Nora let's go to where they are." He breathed in "Oh, Ruby Rose!? She's cool, way better than my partner! And her weapon is, like, the best I've ever seen! Also, I think we should stop screaming!" Jaune didn't really think Ruby would be hearing, as he was a dense dumbass, seriously.
Nora flinched like her heart was stabbed.
"Oh, okay! Sorry!" Pyrrha apologized, again. Jaune wasn't going to scream 'Don't worry' because he had to stop screaming
"C-Come on, I'm not that bad!" Nora studdered, rubbing her arm.
"Ow, ow. You started crying when you made me your partner." Jaune said, clutching his neck.
"Uhm, yeah but... What's wrong?" Nora asked, getting closer and tucking her hammer away.
"Nothing that bad, I just, kind of cut myself in Pyrrha's spear. When she pinned me to that tree." He said, showing his bleeding neck.
"Wait what about your Aura? Didn't it protect you? You'd have it on if you were falling unless you didn't want to." Nora said, getting even closer.
Jaune backed away and tilted his head "Aura?"
Nora froze. There was no way right? Jaune surely has Aura, it was just a joke, ha, a funny joke. "Ha, you're. You're not serious are you?"
"I, uhm, yeah. It's a joke. Of course I know!" Jaune was sweating. Shit! His cover! It was blown! He can't lie to save his life, and he knows it.
"What is Aura." Nora asked, more as a command to make Jaune explain it.
"Well, uhm, you see, Aura is that one thing that, uhm, every huntress and huntsman has." The redhead didn't look convinced "And, uhh, it's something we learn about in combat classes?"
Nora took a deep breath "Welp, you got into Beacon, I'm not gonna question it. Let me just." Nora grabbed his hands and adjusted him to the right position, then she closed her eyes and started chanting.
"For it is in our strenght that we spark resilience. Through this, we become a paragon of greatness and energy to always protect the innocent. Infinite in power and unaffected by loneliness, I release your soul, and by my hands, support thee."
Jaune felt, incredible. He felt warm, protected and comfortable. Light surrounded his body and enveloped him whole, a white glow solified, then, it vanished.
"..." Jaune didn't know what to say. To tell the truth, he didn't even know what happened, but he thinks it was something he needed. He felt more whole.
"Thanks." He looked to his hands.
"Am I a good enough partner now?" She teased, panting. She looked tired "Even though I would like it much more if you weren't my partner." She added with some ammount of anger.
Jaune teased back "Nope. Still would rather have the pretty girl with the white hair."
"Are... Are you saying I'm not pretty enough to be your partner!?" She asked, tears pooling in her eyes like she felt hurt.
"W-what? Of course not! It's not like that!" He stopped and looked to Nora.
"Then what is it!?" She said dramatically, throwing her arms up.
"I- I, uhm, well, it's- It's-"
"WELL I'LL PROVE IT TO YOU! I'm gonna be the prettiest partner you could have!" She announced, pointing up to the sky.
Jaune blinked. This was not good. Not good at all.
Pyrrha Nikos flew through the sky, not really worried about where she was going, but more worried about Jaune's well being.
She stopped her fall with her semblance.
She looked around, at the place she landed.
Emerald eyes met silver.
"Uhm, well, hi new partner!" Ruby said, meeting Pyrrha's gaze.
"Oh, hi. I'm Pyrrha Nikos." She introduced herself with a wave. Ruby made an expression like she was examining her,
"I'm Ruby Rose! I swear I've heard your name before somewhere. Are you, like, popular?" Ruby asked. Maybe she heard Yang talk about her?
"Oh, I... I gue-" Pyrrha didn't really want to talk about her popularity of all things, but thankfully Jaune saved her from that.
"Pyrrha! Are you okay!?" She heard him scream.
Pyrrha and Jaune proceeded to have a screaming conversation, but Ruby was too busy dealing with the low level Grimm attracted by the noise.
"Oh, Ruby Rose!? She's cool, way better than my partner! And her weapon is, like, the best I've ever seen! Also, I think we should stop screaming!" Ruby froze, and not because the insane kickback of her weapon was starting to hurt her shoulders from shooting Beowolves.
'C-C-C-Cool!? B-B-Better t-than my p-p-partner.' Ruby started to blush. Who, besides Yang, jokingly, had called her cool!? And that ment that Jaune wantedheras his partner, it couldn't be anything else.
But that last part.
' And her weapon is, like, the best I've ever seen! Andherweaponis,like,thebestI'veeverseen!Andherweaponis,like,thebestI'veeverseen!Andherweaponis,like,thebestI'veeverseen! ' It repeated in her head as steam started to come out of her ears.
All her friends at signal said that her weapon was good.
But never the best.
He thought it was the best.
He appreaciated her craftsmanship like no one!
Maybe she could try to teach him to make weapons? They would be all alone, in a forge, while Jaune slammed a hammer down on a new weapon he was making just for her-
"Aahh!~" Ruby passed out, blood coming out of her nose.
"Sorry! Well Rub- Ruby!?" Pyrrha rushed to aid her partner.
Yang heard Pyrrha's and Jaune's conversation, while Blake read a book. 'Some things really don't change.' Yang sighed.
Blake was cool, but honestly? Boring. Also hot, but that's guaranteed to every huntress and huntsman.
Well, not every huntsman, just huntress. Why?
All the man in Beacon weren't. The girls though? No homo, but she would absolutely fuck any of the girls here (except Ruby you psycho!)
But thirsting for woman wasn't the point of this line of thought! She had just received prime blackmailing material.
'Your weapon is the best! You're cool! Hehehehe, I got the perfect ammunition. Or I can use it as trading material. Ruby does have that picture of me... Hm. Okay. That's an option. But I'm bored.'
"Hey Blakey, what'cha reading?" She asked. Grimm weren't coming near them because of Yang's malicious happiness. They were scared.
"You wouldn't know. Or care." She muttered the last part, but it clearly wasn't muttered enough! Yang could hear it clear as day!
She did a dramactic gasp "Blake, oh dear partner of mine, you would dare to say that I wouldn't care about your tastes! I'm offended- Is that fucking Ninjas of Love!?" Blake, trying to shield her reading material, reached her arms away from Yang's reach, but doing so, she tilted the cover enough to show that the book she was reading was very familiar to Yang.
"Blake! Reading smut! In the woods! All alone with your partner, the soon-to-be hottest girl of Beacon!?" The blonde brawler said scandalously, getting very close to her partner.
And thankfully, she had the high advantage. And it was advantageous enough for Yang to pull Blake into her also advantageous breasts "What kind of pervert would do that!? Having fantasies about the friend you just met, whomst you wanted to partner with so badly!? Shameful." Okay, maybe that was enough. Blake was red, really, really red.
And her bow was twitching. Eh, whatever, who cares? It isn't like Blake- "So you know the contents of my "smut" book?" Her muffled voice came out in a teasing tone.
Nope
Nope
Nope
No, absolutely not! Yang is the only one who can... who can... shit she was blushing. Dang it!
Chaos was happening. Lie Ren was right there to stop it.
That's what he's always been doing. Stopping his little sister from commiting war crimes, but now…
She was alone. Ren did not like that, but he promised to himself that it would be different.
It had always been Nora and Ren, and Nora would push Ren out of his comfort zone to engage in crazy shenanigans.
Burning down the fabled "Waffle House"? Discovering the cure to a deadly disease by invading the zoo and accidentally falling into the sloth inclosure? Entering a pancake cooking competition to earn enough money to afford the materials of a new weapon?
Ren did it all, and he did it for her. She was more important than family, passing anything that ever existed.
But Nora wanted something different. He knew.
Nora liked Ren. A lot. And it wasn't just like, it was like-like!
He didn't know what Nora saw in him, but he assumed that it was the same as he saw for her. The most important person in the world, and for Nora, that ment dating?
He didn't understand, after all, Ren didn't like-like.
He never felt it. That kind of love. It wasn't about finding the right person, it was about, everything.
The (not) dates Nora took him to, making him dress up and act cuddly and all.
Ren didn't like that. Ren wasn't dense as a rock. He knew what his partner did.
Well, future partner. He hadn't met with Nora yet, which ment she was probably commiting sins against all of Grimm kind. Like usual.
No! He had to keep his mind on a mission.
He liked Nora, she was his sister, but they can't only have each other.
She deserves more than that.
She deserves someone who can like her back. See her as a girl, like she talked in her diary.
Ren didn't really see the apeal of carnal pleasures, but everyone else, including Nora, did. It was another thing.
'I can deal with this later. Keep away from Nora, find a partner. Brothers know how much we need more friends!' He thought to himself, dispelling his thoughts.
He had been navigating this forest for a while now, and he hadn't met any other people on his way.
Until her. Someone was fighting with a hoard of Grimm, unloading magic attacks from the ground, moving like a ballerina.
He'd found her. A partner, and for that matter, someone who seemed graceful, no offense against her, but it was a break from the Nora-ness.
Snow white hair, blue and white dress, and a rapier tearing through Grimm kind
He charged into the fray, cutting and shooting Beowolves on his path.
Pink eyes met light-blue ones, he could feel her icy glare through his soul.
"I didn't need help, but it is appreciated." She said, with a sharp tone.
Ren had a feeling things would be difficult, but when had it not been?
Pyrrha was carrying Ruby.
She was still passed out.
She was still bleeding.
It was kind of concerning.
"I could really use a napkin now." She grimaced. Ruby had passed out all a sudden, and now… wait it stopped. Was she mumbling?
"Oh… Jaune…" Pyrrha froze, she almost dropped her from her bridal carry.
"Jaune… hit… me!" She paled, this was starting to sound weird. In truth, Ruby was in a dream, hitting a metal ingot with a hammer and telling him to "hit like me".
"Maybe it's better for me not to question it. It always worked before." She muttered.
"Your sword is too big! Are you sure?" Pyrrha blushed, his, sword?
Ruby was huffing now. Oh, this was not good, was she holding Ruby while she was having…
Was she having a naughty dream!?
She wasn't. But Pyrrha didn't know that.
Or, well, maybe considering the content of the dream she was having, it might be, but not inthat way.
In Ruby's dream
"Jaune! Jaune!" Ruby called him, but his shirtless form was too distracted with drawing something.
"Huh? Hey Ruby." He said, putting the pencil down.
"You've been sketching a concept for your newsword for a while now, but you're already made the same mistake you did before.It's too big!Itwouldn't even fit in my hands!" Ruby huffed, showing other papers Jaune had drawed on. The text was weirdly blurry, but it clearly said "14 inches" on a line besides the pommel of the blade. You know exactly where this is going.
"14 inches is waytoo bigfor a one handed sword! And you haven't even started on your shield! You want to go in the line of fire with no protection!?" Ruby bonked him on his head, just like Yang did.
Yang was awesome! Ruby looked weirdly like her, but it was just because she was older! 'The milk certainly payed off.' She thought looking down to a very particular aspect of her body.
She was tall as heck! But as she saw Jaune stretch, she knew it wasn't enough.
He was huge compared to her! And very muscly. And shirtless. Was it hot around here or is it just the forge? T-that was a dumb question, but hopefully Jaune wouldn't notice her blush.
"Well, I'm not the best on this, you are! Maybe we can make this baby together." Jaune tossed the papers to the forge, and they lit on fire and dissapeared.
They went to a table nearby. It felt colder. Why was the forge so far now?
In real life
BORING!
Pyrrha looked up to the set of eyes above her.
The multiple, red, glowing sets of eyes uppon her, and her uncontious partner.
In her distraction of hearing Ruby's mumbles about her dream...
She was indeed, very distracted. So distracted, in fact, that she walked into a dark, damp cave, without noticing.
She also awoke the Deathstalker that slept in his den. Without noticing.
And now she was running. And shreaking.
"AAHH!" Were Grimm her weaker point? Yes. Was she carrying a sleeping girl who is also probably not old enough to even be here? Yes.
Considering all that, it made perfect sense why she was screaming! What!? It's a giant scorpion made of pure evilness and dark substances!
And back in Ruby's dream, she just saw Jaune shrieaking and falling off his chair.
Yang awkwardly messed with her gauntlets. It was a habbit she picked up from her real mother, Summer, who Ruby was a carbon copy of. Whenever she got nervous, Summer started to fiddle with her axe-rifle.
Now, why was she doing this? It was pretty obvious. Her cover! It was blown! Damn you Blake!
No one was supposed to know that reading was her secret hobbie, reading is for nerds! But, worse of all, no one was supposed to know her reading material.
She liked smut! Why wouldn't she!?
It's hot.
But she wasn't supposed to lose her cool! She got,flustered. Yang Xiao Long did not get flustered, others did, and it was, gladly, because of her!
But... But...
BLAKEWASAHOTKUNOICHI! She couldn't take this- all the porn she read, and the personified character appeared right in front of her!
And also
THAT ASS! Holy hell, was it- WAS SHE DROOLING!? 'Get a hold of yourself! She isn't even a catgirl. If she was that act was excusable, but no!' Okay, so she had a type, no biggie.
'And besides, she wouldn't work with me. That over there, doesn't seem like a sadist.' ...
Okay, she had, sexual preferences. I-It was all her semblance's fault! It made her power upfrom damage! It's not fair! Ruby got to be a balistic missle, her dad could pack things well, her mom had magic portals, and she got stuck with a masochist's wet dream!?
And her hair turns into fire! That freaking hurts!
"Okay, I need to know- How do you know this series of books?" Okay, Yang hadn't told her but she was slightly paranoid!
She was blushing and studdering.Blushing. And.Studdering.
Yang Xiao- oh she already did that one. Huh.
"Stop staring at my ass and answer me." More blushes.
"I, uhm, have hobbies. And you're not letting a peep out about them, got it?" Her eyes turned red. It weirdly worked in threats. And turning weird people on.
"I read it too. I mean, I'm reading it right now. Wanna be reading buddies? I could use one." Blake said. She was starting to feel kind of lonely. It was hard not to, now that she left the White Fang and was on the run from a terrorist group.
Yang turned the same color as her sister's cape. Heh. She always gets mad when someone uses that phrase.
Wait hold on, a hot girl just asked Yang to read together.
A hot ninja girl just asked to read together.
Probably in a closed room.
All alone.
Reading smut.
She kept walking on auto pilot, but her brain had just turned into mush. But it isn't like she would pass out on the spot with a nosebleed and immediatly start fantasyzing. That can't happen in real life.
"So is that a no or-"
"YES!" Yang screamed so loudly that the author had to use up all his fonts.
Somewhere els- hey where the hell is the bold text!?
Ruby, still passed out on Pyrrha's arms, suddenly bolted up with a gasp.
"I heard that Yang!" She immediatly passed out again.
"Ruby no! You piece of-
Back with Yang
She was blushing again. Yang Xiao- brothers dammit, she never actually blushed that much for the line to not be able to be used again.
She cleared her throat "I mean, yes."
Blake sighed. Too late now.
"Is that a King Taijitu!?" Yang froze mid step, seeing two black snake heads lift up from a crater.
Two white ones rose after "Nope, it's two." Blake suddenly bolted off with a lighting clone left behind.
'Hehe. I'm funny.' Two pairs of snake heads lunged for Yang "Oh SHI-"
Ren and Weiss had finally goten rid of the Grimm hoard.
"Well, I would have rather been partners with Pyrrha, but you seem better than the rest of my options. I'll kindly have you on my team." Weiss declared, flicking some disintegrating tarr from Myrnaster.
Ren seemed calm and collected, way better than the blonde oaf, the weird girl with a giant bow and pure hatred for the Schnee name, the red hooded dolt and her sister whomst she did not give a single thought about. "Teams are made out of four people, anyway. Pyrrha is responsable enough to grab herself a responsable partner, and then our team will rule over any other opposing teams, crushing everyone and every thing that comes into our paths."
Ren had a bad feeling about this. "Right. I'm Lie Ren. You can call me Ren."
"Weiss Schnee, but there is a high chance of you knowing that."
He wasn't going to say he didn't. That was rude. "We need to go north. It would also be good if we could go higher above, to get a view to see if we can find Pyrrha or Nora, and the relics." Ren than quickly added "Nora is my best friend. I was hoping she could be on the team. We're practivally family."
Judging on what Ren seemed to be, a friend of his sounds like a nice addition to the team. "We can add her. And a bird's eye view could be useful." A gigantic Nevermore flew at that exact moment.
Weiss seemed to have an idea.
Ren knew that look.
He sighed "I've been on worse. Let's get on with it."
H-How did they get here!? They were at the ground a second ago and- and-
Weiss looked behind her, seeing Ren also mounted in the ancient Nevermore they were looking at some seconds ago.
Ren recognized that look, once again. It had been plastered on Nora's face before she got used to the constant shenanigans they suddenly popped into from thin air.
"Yeah, I don't know either. It kind of just happens once in a while. It did a lot when me and Nora were younger." Ren said, unfazed.
Weiss tried to ignore it and just tried to appreciate the view.
Emerald Forest from above was really breathtaking. Also scary. Very scary.
"There's a temple there. We should go check it." Wind blasted in his face, but he could get out the information.
"And how do we land!?" She asked. The Nevermore was starting to go down in rapid speeds, most likely trying to shake them off.
"Landing stategy!" They got flunged off.
Light shone thorught the trees, as a redhead with a vest and a combat skirt walked along with a blonde who wore a chestplate covering a hoodie, along with some jeans and a sword on it's hilt.
Jaune Arc and Nora Valkyrie were casually strolling along the Emerald Forest, with no threats nearby.
A Beowolf jumped from a bush, and Jaune hurriedly pulled out his sword, and the Grimm landed on the tip of it.
"Well, that was that." Jaune said, flicking the Grimm's body off it.
"The Grimm here are really tame. This place's nice! Maybe we should come back here eventually." Nora said.
Jaune sighed "If it's not by falling into my doom, than sure." Nora giggled.
The scene slowly changed into a clear field with only one building standing out. A temple.
Full with pedestals, who had chess pieces on them.
Nora gasped, and picked up the knight "Look Jauney! It's you!" She put the piece on top of her head and started humming.
"What?"
"A knight! You have a sword, and chestplate, and a shield, and yeah, you're a knight." She declared, hopping off from the pedestal she was sat on, and grabbing another knight piece.
"Here, have yours! Now, we wait." She said, handing it to him.
Jaune wasn't paying much attention to Ozpin's explanation, but he was sure that waiting was not a part of it.
"Why are we waiting?"
"Well Jaune-Jaune, I was supposed to be partnered with my dearest friend, Ren. Because ofsomeone, I can't. So I'll wait for him to tell that we can't be together. Not together-together." She quickly added. Jaune didn't know if that ment she wanted to be together-together with Ren, or if she wasn't together-together with him, but honestly, it didn't matter.
Jaune understood wating to be partners with a good friend, but Nora didn't need to bash it over his head that he wasn't needed! It honestly wasn't funny anymore. Not to him.
He huffed, then slipped onto the ground as a large crash came from the woods.
Someone was here. Two people. Two people Jaune recognized.
I'm not even gonna lie, I wanted to write Mecha Knight (Penny x Jaune, or Rusted Robot, both are good) and I also wanted to write Betrayal (Nora x Jaune, he broke the bro code.)
Lancaster is always fun too, but Arkos can't not exist.
Wait a minute, why does Jaune have so many fun ships with redheads? Woah, hold up, did someone do this before - yep. Ah, it's abandoned, I can make it! And it doesn't hurt to throw some more gingers into the blender.
I think I went overboard with the snobby Weiss thing. She isn't that insufferable. Sorry. Also, Aroace Ren. Not gonna touch much upon the topic, I'm not gonna be able to do it well.
I literally have three harem stories. I don't want to write it wrong if I know I will.
Also, poor Weiss! I do not hate Weiss, but I keep accidentally writing her like a bitch, and I am so, so sorry. It's not intentional! Like the bumblebee I wrote in this chapter!
Talking about that, oh my god, writing Ruby was so fun. It was one of the funniest things to write for me, ever. Team RWBY is so fun.
Also, I feel happy. Even with criticism, it improves the story. Like the way I'm getting cooked for saying that Weiss hates Jaune in fanfic net, yeah, hate is a bit much.
