Mini Fanfic #1180: Strolling Down the "Wedding" Lane #2: Rosegarden (RWBY)

???? Unknown Area.........

After suddenly falling down from a planted trap floor from a few floors up above, in a last ditch effort, Oscar took this opportunity to swoop himself over and catches Ruby in his arms before both his feet lands on the solid ground below.

Oscar: GOTCHA!

'THUD'

Oscar: (Starts Panting Quite a Bit) That.....was way too close....For our own comfort.....

Ruby; (Gently Place Her Hand onto Oscar's Arm) Oscar, are you okay?

Oscar: ('Sigh in Great Relief') Yeah....I habe no idea what's going on right, but I'm glad we made it down here in one piece at leadt

Ruby: (Sighs as Well) Yeah, same here. On that note....(Happily Hugs Oscar in his Arms While Nuzzling his Cheeks with Hers and Wiggling her Legs Up and Down) My Sweet Herooooooo!!~ You're so cool and brave!~

Oscar: (Chuckles a Bit Ticklishly by his Girlfriend's Affections) Ruby, I only did what I could to try and save you. It's nothing to it than that.

Ruby: I know, but I couldn't help but be more prouder of you than I already am!~ I mean, look at you: you even did the Super Hero Landing and everything!!~

Oscar: (Looks Down to See his Knee is Laid Down on Back Side and his Foot is Down on the Front) Is that right? (Starts Getting Himself Back Up on his Two Feet) I.....somehow no-(Suddenly Felt a Small Cramp in his Knee, Causing Him to Bring it Back Down) ('Crack') Tice!

Ruby: (Immediately Gets Worried as She Jumps Off of Oscar's Arm to Go Check on Him) Oh no! Is your knee hurting you?

Oscar: Just a bit, yeah....(Sits Himself Down on the Ground) I forgot how painful it gets every time I stick to theses types of landings.......

Ruby: Yeah, it's usually get hard on your knees a bit. Now, hold still for a bit. (Sticks Both of her Habds Out, Creating a Red Light In Front of Oscar's Knee)

Oscar: (Eyes Widened a Bit as He Recognizes the Form Ruby's Making) Wait, you can heal now?

Ruby: (Smiles a Bit Sheepishly) Kinda? Jaune's been teaching me how to do Heaking Aura as of late, but I'm still a little rusty.....How is your knee's feeling right now?

Oscar: (Felt his Knee Slowly but Surely Healing Up to it's Regular, Functioning Self) A lot better actually, thanks. But....you know I could've done this myself, right?

Ruby: Yeah, but I wanted to return the favor. You got my back, I got yours, remember? (Lend a Hand to Oscar)

Oscar: (Stares at Ruby For a Brief Second Before Smiling Back and Happily Nodded in Agreement) Right. (Takes Ruby's Hand Let her Help Him Back Up on his Feet Before Looking Around the Pitched Black Area) Where are we?

Ruby: ('Sigh') That's what I wanna know. That host guy has been making us do that dumb Couple's Questionaire Challenge for twelves straight minutes and he just dropped us in here outta nowhere like that? (Crosses her Arms Together While Pouting) Is this some kinda elaborate their pulling? Cause I'm NOT giggling in the slightest!

Oscar: Or a trap waiting to get us when we least expected.('Sigh') I knew we should've brought our weapons with us before taking participating in that dumb game.....But either way we can't afford to let our guards down for even a second, with or without th-

The sound of all the lights getting turned on one by one was loud enough to ring the couple's eardrums in surprise as they turn their attention to the room now revealing itself to have blue, aurora filled skies, flower filled field, a vine carrying a portrait from the ceiling, and a road with a few sets of heart shaped wooden tunnels going up ahead, while the sound of organs suddenly starts playing out of nowhere, much to their dumbfounded surprise.

Oscar: ...........You know what? Nevermind. Maybe this is a prank after all......

Ruby: What....are we even looking at right now?

???: This, my friends.

The sudden mechanical sounding voice spooked Ruby well enough to make her quickly hug her boyfriend's arm while shaking a bit.

Mechanical Voice: Happens to be the destination you have finally arrived to.

Oscar: (Raises an Eyebrow) What kind of destination exactly?

Ruby: Yeah, you invisible jerkwad! (Angrily (And Shakingly) Points at the Air) Tell us what's going on right now and I won't have smash your dumb face in!....W-Whereever you are!!

Mechanical Voice: Patience, my friends.

Ruby: Who says anything about us bring your friend!?

Mechanical Voice: This sacred destination is where two lovers who met their destined partners, discuss their love for each other. What could be waiting up ahead?

Oscar: (Looks Over to the Road Ahead of Him and Ruby) That can't be our only way out.....can it?

Ruby: Hold that thought.

Ruby lets go of Oscar's arm and uses her semblance to dash her way to the other side of the room before coming straight back a few seconds later.

Ruby: (Starts Panting a Bit While Bending her Upper Body Down Close to her Knees) I.....can't find.....a single exit......around.....this....stupid place! (Sits Herself Down on the Ground) It's like an endless void or something.......

Mechanical Voice: In order to find out what lies ahead, you must step forth, hand-in-hand and embrace what this particular road will have in store of both of you going forward. Now, please step forth.

Oscar: ('Sigh') Well, that answers all that. Forward we go I guess. (Turns to Ruby) You feeling okay there, Rubes?

Ruby: Yeah. (Gets Herself Back Up on her Feet) Had to catch my breath for a second there. Now then.....(Grab Hold of Oscar's Hand) Shall we go forth, hand-in-hand, my good sir?~ (Forms Bright, Cheeky Grin on her Face)

Oscar: (Stares at Ruby For a Brief Second Before Snickering) You are such a dork, you know that?~ (Starts Walking Forth Along with Ruby)

Ruby: (Chuckles Lightly) Hey, you fell in love with one~ Besides, don't act like you don't have your dorky moments too, mister. (Forms a Teasing Smirk) Remember that sweet love song you sang a while back? A kiss from a rose perhaps?~

Oscar: (Rolls his Eyes a Bit) I was hoping to forget about that one, thanks......And hey, wait a minute. (Glares at Ruby) You sang a son about me afterwards!

Ruby: Yeah, but it wasn't even remotely close as being as romantic as yours, with that nice, angelic singing voice of yours.

Oscar: (Starts Blushing While Turning Away and Rubbing his Head) You're being too modest here....Your song was nice too, albeit short, and you're singing isn't bad ei-(Eyes Slowly Starts to Widened at What is in Front of Him and Ruby) therrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

Ruby: Oscar, what's- (Eyes Starts Widening Up as Well) wrrrrrOOOOONNNNG!!!?

The couple's shocked face speaks volumes as they witnessed a golden portrait of Ruby dressed in a dark red wedding dress, carrying Oscar, wearing a green tux, in her arms,

Mechanical Voice: Here, you will see the bride and groom's joyous commemorative photograph of their undying love and passion for one another.

Oscar: (Almost at a Loss For Words) ........Your kidding.

Ruby: (Places her Hands on Both Sides of her Head in Complete Disbelief) WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!? How? When? Why!? What kind of constant makes you answer a bunch questions, brings you down here with a trapped floor, and flat out assume you want to get hitch!? This doesn't make any lick of SENSE!!! AT ALL!!! .(Continues Ranting On)

Starting to notice something was off, Oscar walks himself over towards the picture to take a closer look. It took him thirteen and a half seconds later to find a few details before turning back to his distressed girlfriend.

Oscar: Hey, Ruby. Ruby!

Ruby: (Immediately Stops her Ranting and Gives Oscar his Attention) Yeah?

Oscar: Come over here for a second. Take a look at this. (Watches Ruby Walk Herself to The Picture Frame Before Turning Back to It) Notice something odd about all of this look? Like how big both our heads are compared to our bodies?

Ruby: (Starts Taking a Closer Look at The Picture Herself) Yeah......Our heads does look better in this......('Gasps') And they don't remotely blend in with the bodies at all!! (Turns to Oscar with an Angry Look on her Face) Those jerks photoshopped us!!

Oscar: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) Photoshopped?

Ruby: It's where they take a photo part of you and try altering and editing it into another one, hoping it could blend into the other photo's background. (Crosses her Arms) And they did s real lousy job on that front, that's for sure!

Oscar: (Looks Back at the Fake Photo) Yeah, no kidding. It doesn't look nearly look as believable looking back at it. And why exactly are you carrying me in your arms?

Ruby: To make it stand out I guess. (Slowly Starts Smirking Again) Which reminds me~

Oscar: ('Sigh') Oh God. What is it?

Ruby: I never did get the chance to carry you bridal style. (Playfully Shrugs) Now it seems like a pretty good time for me to finally give a go, don'tcha think?~

Oscar: Ruby, we're not even close to finding our way out of here, we don't have time for this.

Ruby: (Clasps her Hands Together While Giving Oscar the Puppy Dog Eyes) Pleaseee?~ I promise it'll be quick. I'll even teach you how to execute a Raging Demon properly!

Oscar: (Raises an Eyebrow) Really?

Ruby: Really ×1000 with a cherry on top~ (Rapidly Blanking her Eyes in a Cutesy Manner)

Oscar: ('Sigh') Alright. You got yourself a-DEAL!? (Quickly Gets Scooped Up into Ruby's Arms, Bridal Style)

Ruby: Gotcha!~ Right in the neck of time too~ (Winks at her Boyfriend)

Oscar: (Playfully Rolls his Eyes) My speedy hero. You're already enjoying this, aren't you?

Ruby: (Forms a Playful, Seductive Smirk on her Face) Not as much as I'm gonna enjoy kissing that cute freckled face of yours~ (Starts Kissing Oscar's Freckled Cheeks)

Oscar: (Chuckles Ticklishly) Sheesh!~ You're in a more romantic mood than usual, Rubes. What gives?~

Ruby: (Casually Shrugs) It's Valentine's and whatnot. (Starts Pouting Again) And whaddya mean "more than usual"? I'll have you know that I have been the most romantic young woman in our lovely relationship!~

Oscar: Are you really though?~

Ruby makes a cute angry noise at Oscar, causing him to chuckle even more.

Oscar: Kidding, kidding! You're very romantic in your own cool way and I love you a lot for it. (Kiss Ruby on the Cheek)

Ruby's heart starts to melt in pure happiness as she hugs Oscar close to her before suddenly notices something from afar.

Ruby: ('Gasps') Oscar! Look! (Points Oscar Towards....) A door!

Oscar: (Eyes Widened atvthe Door in Question) You're right.....(Smiles Brightly) That might be our one ticket outta here.

Ruby: (Smiles Brightly as Well) Well, what are we waiting for? Let's Cheese it!

Ruby was about to activate her semblance until the sudden sound of the alarm Starts ringing their ears.

Mechanical Voice: Halt. Halt. You two are not permitted to use your semblance and/or run towards the door ahead.

Oscar: Seriously!?

Ruby: (Glares at the Invisible Voice) And why not!? We're halfway to the ending point, aren't we?

Mechanical Voice: Indeed you are. But this road to enlightenment is an once and lifetime experience that cannot impatiently rush. Therefore, If you and your friends wish to leave this entire facility, then I advise the both of you to continue to walk this path as originally planned.

The couple groans in defeat and pure annoyance as Ruby puts Oscar back down on his feet before continuing their tedious quest, walking on foot.

Ruby: (Starts Grumbling On) ('Groans') I swear, I wish where that voice is coming from so I could punch him in his dumb face....

Oscar: You and me both. But the closer we reach to that door, the more time we'll have find the others and leave. We can't stop now.

Ruby: Yeah, yeah.....

'A Bit of Silence'

Ruby: Hey, Oscar, can I ask you something?

Oscar: Yeah, what is it?

Ruby: Do you hate Uncle Qrow?

Oscar: (Turns to Ruby with a Bit of a Confused Look on his Face) Not....really? What makes you think that.

Ruby: Well, for starters, always look uneasy whenever you two see each other, like you're trying to avoid talking to him or something. (Rolls her Eyes a Bit) Not like he's any better in comparison......

Oscar: ('Sighs Heavily') Yeah......That's not surprising.....Considering we don't really gotten along as much as we should. (Roll his Eyes) Mostly cause of everything Ozpin related.

Ruby: ('Sigh') Of course.....So, is that one of the reasons why you two fought in Vacuo in the past?

Oscar: (Eyes Widened as He Immediately Stops Walking) Wait, how did you-

Ruby: Emerald told me about during our lunch outing the other day.

Oscar: Really. That's the third time this week you guys been hanging out this week.

Ruby: Yeah, it's been an ongoing thing we do oddly enough. (Pouts at Oscar Again) And before you say anything, NO! This doesn't automatically make the both of us friends!

Oscar: You sure? (Chuckles a Bit) Cause it kinda sounds like you are actually starting to get along for once.

Ruby: AS ASSOCIATES!! (Crosses her Arms) That doesn't mean I wanna be buddy-buddy with her of all people! She know what she did.

Oscar: And she's more than willing to pay the price for it however she can, her words. Just try and give her another chance, will ya? As rude, harsh, and smart-mouthed as she gets at times, she can also be as cool and understanding once you guys get to know her more better. Hopefully.

Ruby: I still don't trust her. ('Sigh') But I'll try and get along for you.....Now, quit stalling and tell me why you and Qrow were fighting!!

Oscar: (Takes a Deep Breath Before Speaking) Okay, so......It all started when we reached to Vauco. We all assumed you, your team, Jaune, and Penny were dead at the time, so we arranged a funeral for all of you. It was an emotionally stressful time for most of us to endure, Qrow especially.......

Ruby: (Pinches the Bridge of her Nose) Oh no......Please don't tell me he was drunk during that time.....

Oscar: ('Sigh') Unfortunately. He seemed so....out of it the moment we saw him step into the room. Laughing, crying, freaking out and throwing out anything in the room he could find.........I tried calming him down, he shoved by the shoulder, yell at me, and said, and I quote: "I am nothing but a useless, puppet meat shield, who should've fell down and died instead."

Ruby: (Eyes Widened in Shock, Couldn't Believe What She Heard Just Now) ......What?

Oscar: It's the truth. He said it right in front of face...... And it got to me. Egregiously so. I have worked my hardest to contribute to the team, to try and fix Oz's mistakes and do better by him, surived and fought the hardest I have EVER done in my life, from Ironwood, Salem, Hazel, and anyone else who stood in my way of living my life!....And to have him call me useless after all of that just....struck a nerve in me. So I punched him. More than once. He started punching me. And before either of us know it, we ended fighting until Nora, Ren, and the others was able to break us up, ending the service altogether. (Sighs While Facepalming Himself) I know we've been through a whole lot to get to that point, some of which more life-threatening than the others, but it wasn't an excusefor either of us to act that way, especially when we were suppose to mourn for our loses. I'm really sorry, Rub-

Ruby: (Immediately Hugs Oscar Tightly) No! Emotions get the better of us at times, it happens! And that's absolutely NOTHING for you to apologize for! If anyone should be doing that other than Qrow, it's me for not helping or being there for you as much as I should be. (Starts Tearing Up a Bit) Especially when I knew for a fact that you were suffering way more than the rest of us combined. ('Sniff') You didn't deserve any of that, Oscar. Not at all!

Oscar: (Frowns Sadly at the Sound of Ruby's Soft Crying) Ruby, come on. Don't say that. You've done a lot for more than you think you did.

Ruby: ('Sniff') Yeah? Like that? Not yelling at you?

Oscar: (Gently Pulls Ruby Away From Him For a Moment) You know that's not what I mean. Remember that at we were staying at the dojo and I got so worked up over everything that's been going on with and Oz?

Ruby: Yeah. (Wipes the Tears Away) ('Sniff') You seemed so mad....and scared.

Oscar: (Simply Nodded) I was. But that pep talk you gave me about how i should keep fighting and moving forward, it inspired me a lot since: to be better, stronger, and more brave than I've ever been growing up. (Let's Out a Soft Chuckle) Heck, if anything, I highly doubt I would be standing here right now if I never took any of the advice you've given me since then, to heart. You've been an inspiration to me from the very beginning, Ruby Rose, and it makes me love you even more than I do before, believe it or not.

Ruby: (Heart Starts Melting in Happiness Again) You're real inspiration to me too, you know?

Oscar: I am? Really?

Ruby: (Giggles Softly While Hugging Oscar Again) Yes, really, you big dumb-dumb!~ You inspired me to keep going, make more better choices, be a better leader, a better person even. And be makes me so, so happy to meet abd eventually fall in love with someone as sweet, brave, and, wonderful like you in my life. I love you with every bit of fiber my heart and soul can carry, Oscar Everlynn Pine~

Oscar: (Heart Begins to Melt as Well as He Hugs His Girlfriend as Well) Likewise. And listen, please don't hold any of what happened against your uncle. What he did was completely uncalled for, but I can tell it was because of how heartbroken he was of losing his only two nieces, you and Yang.

Ruby: I'm not happy with what he did to you at all and I will DEFINITELY have a talk with him the next time we see each other again. ('Sigh') Buuuuuut I suppose I'll try not to be too mad at him IF you give lots of cuddles later on today~ (Smirks at her Farm Boi)

Oscar: (Smirks Back) Give me a Valentine's kiss and you got yourself a deal.

Ruby: (Places her Hand onto Oscar's Cheek) Done and done~

Ruby leans in to kiss Oscar until something flew over towards the white door in blazing, startling the duo into hugging one another as they turn to see a man I'm a black suit slowly sliding down off the door, groaning in immense pain.

Ruby: What in the-

????: RUBY! OSCAR!

The duo turns to see two very familiar faces making their way towards them.

Ruby: ('Gasps') Yang!~

Oscar: Emerald!

Yang: (Rushes Over to Hug Both Ruby and Oscar) You two had us so worried....Are you okay?

Ruby: Yeah, we good. (Happily Hugs her Big Sister) Even more so now that you're here!~

Oscar: How were you two able to get down here?

Emerald: We ran down the stairs. Like five to six of them in total I think? Anyways, he had to chase down the dumbass over there before he could get away. (Points the Duo Back to the Man Knocked Out)

Yang: Yeah, turns out him and his little friends upstairs were pulling the strings of this little Couple's Questionaire charade just try and throw us off courses to what their scheming. (Smiles Brightly) Luckily, everyone else are handling the rest of those punks as we speak.

Meanwhile in the Third Floor

Nora: (Glaring and Tightening Up her Mangchild Dangerously at the Rest of the Shaking Suited Men Tied Up, With Everyone Else Ominously Glaring at Them in the Background) I'm getting REAL of sick playong the silent game right now.....If you idiots don't quit your shaking, cut the bullshit, and tell us where have you sent my baby and his girlfriend RIGHT NOW, you six are going feel each and everyone of our WRATHS in the next thirty seconds!

Pyrrha: (Hovering Multiple Swords in the Air, Pointing the Blades Down at the Terrified Culprits) Start. Talking.

Back at the Bottom Floor

Emerald: It's a good thing the two us came down as quickly as we could. (Forms a Small, Playful Smirk on her Face) We can't have you two lovebirds go in and elope on us now.

Ruby: (Pouts at Emerald) Oh will you hush!? We're not dumb enough to fall for this stupid trap completely!

Yang: (Starts Smirking as Well) You sure? Cuz that picture frame we saw kind of says otherwiseeee~

Oscar: (Gives the Two Older Ladoes a Deadpinned Look on his Face) It's a photoshopped picture, Yang. (Turns Away While Rubbing The Back of his Head Back and Forth) Though, I do think that.....(Starts Blushing a Bit) Ruby does look pretty cute in that red dress. She's looks better in that frame than I do actually.

Yang: (Forms a Proud Grin) Of course!~ My baby sister can rock any dress she wears perfectly! But don't short, lil bro. (Playfully Pulls One Side of Oscar's Cheek) I think you would look pretty damn handsome in that suit~

Ruby: (Playfully Pulls on Oscar's Other Cheek) Right?~ My precious farm boi will be the most handsomest man in our very own wedding!~

Oscar: (Already Annoyed) Stooooooop......(Notices a Emerald Holding her Scroll Right I'm Front of Him and the Sisters) Really?

Emerald: Oh don't mind me. Just capturing the cuteness is all. Probably use it as blackmail or something later down the road.

Oscar: I hate all of you.

Emerald: No you don't.

Oscar: ('Sigh') I don't. I love you all a lot actually.

Emerald: Love you too, handsome.

Pyrrha isn’t Achilles.

Now, you say, if it walks like a duck and dies like a duck—the duck is lying to you. Also, it didn’t die like a duck.

The story of Achilles starts… well, it kind of starts with a prophecy and a forced marriage, but we’ll skip to after he’s born. When he gets dipped in the River Styx, giving him near-invulnerability. Pyrrha might be the Invincible Girl, but the one we see that happen to is Jaune—when his Aura is unlocked. “You have a lot of it.” He becomes, rather than being.

Achilles grows up. He’s great. Then this whole Trojan War thing starts to start and he ends up in disguise, and falling in love with the princess of Skyros, Deidamia. Pyrrha is not in disguise. Jaune faked his transcripts to get to the violence, and then he meets the coolest girl possible.

But, well, the story doesn’t end there. It ends at Troy. So Achilles goes, but then he refuses to fight. Patroclus, the one he loves, takes his armor and goes and dies—with his murderer, Hector, taking the armor from him—leaving Achilles in a borderline suicidal rage that has him dragging the corpse of Hector behind his chariot for days on end. Also he gets visited by Patroclus’s ghost a few times.

Jaune is kept from the battle, while Pyrrha—not quite armed with a new power—goes out and dies, that power being stolen by Cinder only moments before. Jaune spends Volumes 4 and 5 chasing after her killer, disregarding himself. Jaune finds himself face to face with her spirit in Argus.

It’s notable, also, that despite being Patroclus to Jaune, Pyrrha—the best of her people, the humble defender lost in the face of the more-than-human invading force—is Hector to Cinder.

Cinder is Achilles, and she is her own Patroclus—the rage that motivates her is for the loss of herself, for the taking of her own weapons. Patroclus only did meet Achilles after being exiled for murder, you know.

How do you think Pyrrha would act if she saw all the milfs hitting on Jaune? Like Canon Pyrrha?

Canon Pyrrha, huh? Well, let's look at Pyrrha's personality in itself. Pyrrha is a confident combatant with a bit of reservation when she has to socially interact with anyone she isn't familiar with, though she quickly warms up to people when they get on her good side. She's also very thoughtful of her friends, especially her partner when he needs a confidence boost himself. Then again, this is me going off what I think about Pyrrha, so I could be wrong on that.

HOWEVER, if we're assuming Pyrrha somehow managed to survive her encounter with Cinder, she and Jaune DEFINITELY end up together. Like, together-together. Things go easier during her trip with Ruby and her team to Haven, though they still have trouble against things like the destroyed villages, Tyrian, the Nuckelavee, and they manage to reach Haven no problem, and the fight with Cinder goes a lot better with her having to team up with Raven to fend off the couple. Weiss almost dies, again, and Jaune manages to save her while Pyrrha covers his retreat to help her.

They reach Argus with no problem, though RWBY still fall off the train. As they start considering where to stay the night, and since this is Pyrrha's hometown, they're almost immediately swarmed by the paparazzi. Thankfully, Mama Nikos comes in to save them, though she doesn't have enough room for JNPR, since it used to be just her and little teen Pyrrha. So they stay with Jaune's sister and Pyrrha falls immediately in love with Adrian. When Yang and Weiss show up, she shows them a neat trick she does to get him to laugh so much he hiccups. Pyrrha helps fight off Cordovin since despite being a "proud child of Atlas," she's not convinced to help someone she barely knows over Weiss and Jaune. There's a moment where Nora asks if Pyrrha could stop the Colossus, to which Pyrrha replies she's "never tried with something like his before," which could be foreshadowed with Pyrrha catching a robot toy Adrian throws at them when he's being ignored, but she mentions she had a few days of practice.

They manage to reach Atlas, get caught, and now we come to the answer to your question of what would happen if Pyrrha sees Jaune getting hit on by the moms. I'm not one to believe Pyrrha would get "yandere" levels of jealous, but considering how much she cares about Jaune based on how much she's willing to sacrifice for his safety, I'd say she would be very jealous about losing Jaune. Not enough to be hostile, but I do see the scene playing out as Nora saying "It's definitely the hair~" with Pyrrha giving a cute pout and replying, "I know."

Are You Alright?

Jaune: E-Excuse me?

Winter: Are you alright, Mr. Arc?

Jaune: …

Winter: Mr. Arc?

Jaune: …

Jaune: W-Why are you asking me this?

Winter: Why? Should I not show concern for your well being?

Jaune: …

Jaune: N-No…?

Winter: Why do you state that as a question?

Jaune: I… I don’t know…?

Winter: Are you not accustomed to people asking you this; ‘How are you oing?’

Jaune: N-N-No…? Y-Yes…? I-I-I-I don’t know…

Winter: Really? Well, doesn’t your team, your friends ask you this?

Jaune: Friends? I-I don’t have friends…

Winter: You don’t have friends?

Jaune: No… I never have…

Winter: How is that possible?

Jaune: Relatively easy…

Winter: But, I heard, Penny call you friend, isn’t she…?

Jaune: W-We’re not friends!

Winter: You’re not?

Jaune: Penny said because I am, Ruby’s friend, and, Penny is, Ruby’s friend I am her friend too. But… I’m not, Ruby’s friend… So… That doesn’t make us friends…

Winter: That’s a simple application of logic. But, is that really all there is to it?

Jaune: …

Jaune: Maybe… I-I try not to think about it too much…

Winter: Why not?

Jaune: I get lost in my head… I don’t like the thoughts I feel when it happens… and… and then she shows up, and… and…

Winter: She? Who shows up?

Jaune: N-N-No one! No one shows up!

Winter: …

Winter: Is she still here?

Jaune: N-No… she left when you showed up…

Winter: That… That isn’t what I meant, Mr. Arc.

Jaune: Is she… s-still alive… T-That’s what you meant isn’t it…?

Winter: (Nods)

Jaune: …

Jaune: N-No… No she isn’t it?

Winter: And, who was this person to you; A mentor, a lover, a friend?

Jaune: …

Jaune: She was a mentor… the first one who ever believed in me… whole heartedly believed I could be something… something more…

Jaune: S-She was my first… and, probably my last friend I’ll ever have… I-I never realized she was my friend until she was gone… ‘never realize what you have until it’s gone…’ Cruel truth isn’t it…

Jaune: We could have been… We could have been that, and more… But…

Winter: …

Winter: Does this loneliness make you desire to… hurt yourself?

Jaune: W-What?! Why would you ask that? A-And, why are you here? I’m just out here to enjoy my coffee!

Winter: Yes… Here… All alone… With a cold cup of coffee… Sitting on the ledge…

Jaune: What? Whoa?! W-W-When did I get here…?!

Winter: Nearly an hour ago.

Jaune: R-R-Really?!

Winter: Yes.

Jaune: And, why are you here?

Winter: I followed you here.

Jaune: You did?

Winter: Yes, I saw you grab a cup of coffee, and instead of joining us in the briefing room as you usually do. You just walked out here. You walked right past me, and yet you acted like you didn’t see me, like you didn’t recognize anyone in the whole world. I decided to follow you because I was concerned. I walked right besides you, and sat down right next to you. And, yet you never noticed me. You just looked off into the distance as if you were looking for something. You were still looking for that something till just a moment ago when I asked you: ‘Are you alright, Mr. Arc?’ So I ask you again, ‘are you alright… Jaune?’

Jaune: …

Jaune: Would you believe me if I said, ‘I’m fine?’

Winter: Would you?

Jaune: …

Jaune: No… No I wouldn’t…

Winter: Then what is wrong?

Jaune: W-Why do you care?

Winter: Should I not be concerned about your well being?

Jaune: O-Only one other person has showed concern for me… S-S-So… You… shouldn’t…? R-Right…?

Summary: Do anyone ever look at you two funny due to you two being female orc and male human in a relationship despite the bad blood between your races?

"Yeah," Jaune Arc nods his head, "we do. I never hear the end of it from that jerk Cardin." The swordsman groans at the mention of the inquisitor.

"Don't get me started on the comments I get from my own people," Pyrrha Nikos massages her face. "or Yang's 'quips' on our love life." She wraps her arm around the blonde knight, "But, I love Jaune with all my heart."

"Same here, Pyr," Jaune replies to his lover with a warm smile, leaning in to kiss her cheek.

RWBY COMBAT ANALYSIS: JAUNE ARC (VOLUMES 1-8)

“You're right, Ren. I… I did cheat my way into Beacon. And I'm glad that I had people around me to help me see that I was bigger than that mistake. You've got people around you too. You don't have to force yourself to be strong. The more you hide from what you're feeling, the more alone you're going to feel. Trust me.”

As I mentioned in my previous Versus Series match, this analysis of Jaune Arc's combative abilities will be focused on his appearances until RWBY Volume 8, prior to falling into the Ever After and being displaced in time. The strengths and limitations of Jaune before he became the Rusted Knight are simply more interesting to discuss, and, similarly to Maria Calavera, the significant gap in time between his being sent back and Volume 9 makes equating the two inappropriate. While Rusted Knight Jaune did display just enough in Volume 9 for me to have a good gauge of where he stands, this analysis is already stupidly long (over 6000 words and 11 pages) so pulling a joint profile like I did with Maria will likely bore you out. Although, If you want me to do a breakdown for Rusted Knight Jaune, let me know!

With all that out of the way, let's begin.

PHYSICAL

Jaune Arc is a human male, nineteen years of age when he fell into the Ever After two years after the Fall of Beacon. Born into a family with a history of distinguished Huntsmen and military service, Jaune grew up on stories of heroism and glory, seeking to emulate of his forebearers and dreams of becoming a great legendary hero. Despite this ambition, though the exact reasons are currently unconfirmed, Jaune Arc never attended a combat school, living a wholly civilian life alongside his parents and seven sisters. However, Jaune was determined to achieve his dream to the point of cheating, forging transcripts to gain admission to Beacon Huntsman Academy in Vale. Unsurprisingly, his nonexistent training left him severely out of his depth compared to his classmates, while his misguided belief in his need to excel on his own merits led to him rejecting offers for aid from his teammates. Fortunately, a short conflict with class bully Cardin Winchester led to Jaune eating some much-needed humble pie, and he submitted himself to private tutoring from his partner, the Mistrali prodigy Pyrrha Nikos. Pyrrha’s training greatly picked up the slack and helped Jaune truly develop his skills as a fighter and leader, making genuine contributions to the defense of Vale and Team JNPR’s Vytal Festival battles. Sadly, the Fall of Beacon and Pyrrha’s subsequent death cut his training short, and he found himself thrust headfirst into the war with Salem, his subsequent development coming from direct experience in the field and his being forced to cope with the mounting pressure of his traumatic experiences.

While Jaune Arc’s lack of combat training left him woefully underprepared for academy life and the Huntsman profession, he was ironically well-suited to the physical rigors he was bound to encounter. As the Arc family was known for regular camping trips in Mistral, Jaune was clearly able to develop a high degree of physical fitness and maintained a healthy lifestyle, standing as a surprisingly talented natural athlete. His past as an outdoorsman left him prepared with the harsh conditions of the battlefield, and his formal training ironed out his athleticism to leverage his body for fighting. Easily identified by the blonde hair and blue eyes shared by his family, Jaune stood at a robust 6’1”and sported an athletic, muscular build. In terms of physical performance, his primary attributes were strength and agility, expressed through his joint use of powerful stalwart stances and dynamic full-body maneuvers. Even before his training truly began, Jaune proved himself to be remarkably strong, deflecting aside a Deathstalker’s pincer during his initiation and holding back an Ursa Major’s mauling swipe in the Forever Fall forest. After proper training and combat experience, Jaune grew into a true physical heavyweight, his might, while not matching juggernauts like James Ironwood and Hazel Rainart, being easily comparable to heavy hitters like Yang Xiao Long and Nora Valkyrie. He has sent an Ursa flying with a shield bash, launched grown humans several yards into the air, briefly held back the crushing weight of the Nuckelavee’s hooves, and supported the weight of a Sabyr and Tyrian Callows when they held onto his shield, in addition to various displays of strength-based swordsmanship. In the realm of agility, Jaune may not have been a talented gymnast, but he more than made up for it in grounded speed and parkour even in heavy armor, traversing the battlefield with powerful jumps and running charges while avoiding injury with combat rolls and sidestep evasions. He has kept pace with most of his teammates without too much strain, dodged boulders thrown by a Petra Gigas, blindsided the Nuckelavee by rushing in while it was distracted, and even moved fast enough to intercept Neopolitan’s lunge at Atlas Academy. Though tripped up in sparring with Vine Zeki, he was able to effectively freerun with the aid of his shield through the treacherous landscape of the Solitas tundra while perusing the Hound. Jaune’s reflexes and dexterity were easily his least developed attribute due to his lack of training, though he was by no means slow or crude. Though he favored simple hack and stab bladework, his attacks were still executed with great precision when needed, aiming for one-hit kills. Defensively, he had no difficulty responding to projectiles or other incoming attacks, notably raising his shield in time to block most of the obsidian shards Cinder Fall threw through one of the Evacuation Central Location portals despite being right next to the portal at the time.

While Jaune’s high degree of physical performance was extremely impressive even compared to other Huntsmen, easily his most valuable physical characteristic was his incredible resiliency, stamina, and tolerance for pain and injury. Evan accounting for his large Aura reserves and the properties of his Semblance, the hits that Jaune has worked through are extremely impressive feats. In his initiation, Jaune, despite having no active Aura to protect him, endured the impact of being pinned to a tree after being launched into the woods, and showed no sign of injury until he got scratched by a tree branch a few minutes later. In Forever Fall, he suffered a serious beating from Cardin Winchester that left him with a bruised face, yet he was able to engage the Ursa Major almost immediately afterwards, soaking up more hits and ultimately decapitating the creature. During Team RNJR’s journey to Haven, Jaune worked through a flying rock to the face, physical combat strikes from Tyrian Callows, and numerous mule kicks and blows from the Nuckelavee, yet his Aura never broke or even flickered. In fact, the first time Jaune’s Aura was ever seen breaking in serious combat was when he expanded it to help shield Nora from a punch Caroline Cordovin’s Colossus mech suit (which I’d like to remind you was a giant robot designed to fight kaiju-sized Grimm), overtaxing his Aura and slamming him into a boulder. His stamina displayed itself during the Fall of Beacon, the Battle of Haven, and the Battle of Mantle, all of which were long term conflicts that he fought all through yet remained vital and fresh by the end. In Atlas, Jaune was slammed into a wall by Salem after he burned through his Aura amping Ren, yet was completely uninjured and stayed vital during their escape from the Monstra. It wasn’t until he was forced into close proximity to Cinder Fall’s explosion in the Evacuation Central Location that his Aura broke again, and yet he still had enough fight left in him to regain his feet and attempt to escape. Quite simply, Jaune has spent the bulk of his career as a human punching bag, yet he’s still going strong, wars of attrition being his bread and butter. Jaune was unfortunately saddled with his share of mental hang-ups, his early hubris leading to him making reckless calls before wising up while his traumatic experiences, especially Pyrrha’s death, left him with an inferiority complex that led to him overextending in a misguided idea of sacrificing for his friends. Fortunately, the influence of those same friends helped Jaune learn from his experiences and maintain his composure, trading away the macho badass for an incredibly strong-willed vanguard. Even after being forced to kill Penny Polendina following Cinder Fall’s mortal wound, Jaune Arc never faltered, holding his ground against the Fall Maiden’s savage onslaught despite the grief-stricken tears in his eyes.

Reflecting the irony of being physically prepared for Huntsman life despite having no training, Jaune Arc consistently supplemented his well-honed physique with heavy combat armor, providing him from a degree of protection from the dangers of the world of Remnant. He initially wore only a simple breastplate and shoulder pads, though like the rest of his skill set, his kit evolved and expanded over time. During his time as an Atlesian Huntsman, he wore a full-plated gold-trimmed cuirass, pauldrons, and gauntlets over a black high collared shirt, while his lower body was garbed in blue jeans and rugged calf-high boots. His earlier armor upgrade from an unnamed Mistral blacksmith was specifically noted to provide superior protection from Grimm claws, so the updated plating provided by Pietro Polendina was certainly just as durable, and very likely greater. Though he had no protection below the belt (seriously dude, Adrian needs cousins. get a cup! 😊), the lack of heavy plating still allowed full freedom of movement, maintaining Jaune’s agility. Easily the most sentimental wardrobe component was Pyrrha Nikos’s red sash adorning his belt, a final reminder of his lost love.

RANKING: Tier 2, Peak Human Fitness

Despite a severe lack of training at the start of his career, Jaune Arc still started out as a prime human specimen, and his numerous ordeals have propelled him to the Huntsman physical apex. He is a solidly built athlete with powerful performance levels in all areas that can match or even exceed many of his peers, and supplements this with both an extraordinary level of endurance and some of the best armor we’ve seen in the setting so far. While unassuming at first glance, Jaune’s physique serves as the vehicle for a one-man war of attrition, winning by leveraging his capabilities to stay alive and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike. But much like his friend Ruby Rose, Jaune’s greatest asset as a physical combatant is his resolve, maintaining his composure even in the face of staunch resistance. He won’t give up, he won’t break, no matter what.

MARTIAL

Jaune Arc’s primary weapon was Crocea Mors, a collapsible heater shield paired with an arming sword which was originally carried by his great-great grandfather during the Great War, eighty years before the Fall of Beacon. Despite being an antique compared to what his classmates carried, the weapon remained in excellent condition when Jaune took it with him to Beacon, and it has been further modified and upgraded as he continues his adventures. The sword was an approximately two and a half foot long double-edged blade outfitted with a golden crossguard and a lengthened handgrip wrapped in blue leather. The shield, when fully extended, had a rough area of 2.5 square feet and featured an opening at the top to house the sword, its primary feature being to convert into the blade’s scabbard when not in use. Following modifications from an unnamed Anima blacksmith, the sheath was upgraded to include retractable sharpened edges that could extend upward, transforming it into a stout zweihänder with a heavier blade, enabling far more powerful strikes in combat. The most recent additions to the shield came from Pietro Polendina in Atlas, who outfitted it with hard-light and gravity Dust generators. The former extended barriers to either edge to improve Jaune’s protective zone, while the latter functioned as a combat repulsor. Appropriate given its original owner was a soldier rather than a Huntsman, Jaune’s weapon remains one of the simplest and most utilitarian in the setting, form reflecting function even with its various upgrades. While perfectly capable of slaying Grimm, Crocea Mors was built for war.

As he had never attended a formal combat school nor had grown up with real-world dangers to address, Jaune Arc was woefully unprepared for his early education at Beacon Academy, enrolling on the back of forged transcripts and having amateurish understanding of the field’s basics. Despite this, Jaune was fortunate enough to survive his initiation, and his ability to coordinate Pyrrha Nikos, Lie Ren, and Nora Valkyrie in their takedown of a Deathstalker earned him leadership of Team JNPR. While his early blunders were quite obvious, falling behind in his studies and regularly getting stomped in sparring, Ozpin’s early assessments of the boy’s potential were eventually proven to have merit following his conflict with Cardin Winchester. After a peptalk with Ruby Rose and his successful killing of an Ursa Major in Forever Fall fed him some crow, Jaune accepted Pyrrha’s offer of private tutoring and began to properly develop as a fighter. Under her tutelage, Jaune slowly grew into a capable swordsman and began taking his responsibilities as leader more seriously, eventually qualifying for the Vytal Festival and leading his team to victory against Team BRNZ. While the Fall of Beacon and Pyrrha’s subsequent death cut his formal training short, Jaune continued to train rigorously with her prerecorded lectures during Team RNJR’s journey to Haven Academy and maintained his skill by sparring with his comrades. But more than anything else, Jaune’s greatest growth came through the trial by fire that was the war with Salem, the threats he encountered forcing him to learn quickly and build his skill set through experience. Appropriately for a beginner warrior growing through trial and error in the field, Jaune Arc’s fighting technique was an exceedingly simple and direct sword-and-board method, emphasizing the baseline reliability of the practical benefits of his weapon set. He primarily relied on his shield as the foundation of his technique, using it to intercept or deflect incoming attacks. He alternated between stalwart stonewall stances and active pushback deflections, holding his ground against everything from gunfire to pouncing Grimm while disrupting their own attacks with sweeps and bashes. When he did choose to take the offensive initiative, his bladework consisted of a simple yet powerful array of slashes, cleaves, and thrusts, aiming for one-hit kills. Together, the two weapons enabled a defense-and-counter fighting style, following up his solid blocking sequences with quick sword attacks to quickly disable or kill the target. Though friendly and kind, Jaune never settled for half-measure, always decapitating, dismembering, amputating, impaling, or otherwise seriously injuring his target. When utilizing Crocea Mors in its greatsword form, Jaune’s bladework became less refined yet far more powerful, using hacking chops to deal brutal damage, though at the cost of his defensive stance. Despite lacking variation as a swordsman, Jaune’s simple and loose style was extremely adaptable, allowing him to accommodate to virtually any situation or opponent. This technique was reinforced by his fluid use of his special abilities, most notably his Dust loadout and Semblance to augment his maneuvers. However, Jaune has displayed little in terms of alternative disciplines. Despite possessing a strong physical component in his style, he has never been seen employing hand-to-hand combat in any capacity, and his knowledge of firearms began and ended with blocking bullets. That being said, he has engaged opponents who do use these methods and survived, most notably Tyrian Callows and James Ironwood, so he clearly knows how to combat them even if he lacked proficiency in using them himself. Furthermore, he proved to be a competent mounted fighter, delivering strikes from Pietro Polendina’s hoverbike very effectively in Mantle.

For all the strides he made in his training and advancement in spite of his inexperience, what truly put Jaune Arc in step with his peers was his surprising natural talent as a tactician and strategist. Humbled by his first semester’s failings, Jaune recognized his limitations as one of the least developed fighters of his class, and instead focused on pouring his energies into learning to circumvent them with the aid of his teammates and friends. While his lack of book smarts would make the tactical display out of his element, his ingenuity and ability to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of both his troops and his enemy’s, even under dangerous high-stress situations, more than made up for it. Jaune Arc was not a grand strategizing general; he was a boots-on-the-ground frontline commander, and in his tactics, he heavily emphasized adapting to and subverting the opponent while holding out for the long term. He would open defensively to give him time to assess the threat and give his allies the opportunity to probe for weaknesses. Once an opening was discovered, he would order a swift and decisive response to exploit it, often by disabling the opponents’ defenses and weapons and forcing them to expose the Achilles Heel. Against the Deathstalker, Jaune worked with Pyrrha to defend against its claws while Ren weakened the stinger, and upon seeing this had Pyrrha sever it with her shield before propelling Nora into the air to drive it in. Team RNJR’s battles with the Petra Gigas and Nuckelavee played out similarly, with the beasts ultimately being killed by keeping their limps tied up while leaving its main body vulnerable to Nora’s blows. The Nuckelavee battle demonstrated Jaune’s ability to apply this thinking to wars of attrition as well, as he and Ruby were able to land several critical strikes on the legs while the head was distracted, wearing it down as they cooked up a decisive finishing strategy. As far as more intelligent opponents went, Jaune demonstrated his talents during the Vytal Festival match against Team BRNZ, ordering a retreat following the initial exchange before quickly reengaging, working with Ren and Pyrrha to fend off the bulk of the team and flush out May Zedong’s sniper nest so that Nora could blow her to Kingdom Come. While battlefield situations were Jaune’s specialty, he was still capable of contributing to larger strategic operations, and more importantly, demonstrated an ability to reevaluate and adapt if his plans were derailed. The best example of this was the confrontation with Caroline Cordovin in Argus. The plan was to commandeer an Atlas airship by having Weiss Schnee pretend to return home alone before she and Maria Calavera overpowered the pilots and picked up the others, hiding their return by sending Blake Belladonna to disable the relay tower. However, their hand was tipped when Blake was ambushed by Adam Taurus before she could complete her sabotage, and Cordovin responded by unleashing the gigantic Colossus mech suit. Despite this colossal setback (pun completely intended), Jaune quickly put together a plan of engagement, exploiting the mech’s bulk by having Weiss, Ren, Qrow Branwen and Calavera harass Cordo and chip away at her defenses while nullifying her firepower by evading her attacks. Though the final blow was delivered through Ruby’s initiative rather than Jaune’s his overall game plan and trust in his teammates still enabled them to survive and disable the weapon despite the shock of their original strategy failing.

However, while Jaune was a fantastic field leader and achieved several impressive victories, most of these were done through the strengths and abilities of his allies rather than his own. Jaune’s inexperience and underdeveloped technique left him at a disadvantage whenever he was confronted by a skilled opponent in single combat, his success predicated on his versatility and tactical supremacy rather than his ability to fight. His first true victory against the Ursa Major demonstrated his tenacity and the raw talent he did have, but he nearly lost his entire Aura during the scuffle and survived only due to Pyrrha’s interference. Despite pulling his own weight in the Vytal Festival and against Tyrian Callows, his personal performance mostly amounted to soaking up punishment while everyone else tried to make headway. While Jaune had improved significantly by the time of the Battle of Haven, the psychological strain of his experiences combined with Cinder Fall’s posturing triggered an outburst from the still-grieving Jaune, who recklessly charged the Fall Maiden with his greatsword. The only reason Jaune lasted as long as he did was because Cinder drew out the fight to play with her food, the closest thing he made to headway being when he scored a superficial graze on her face mask after she was stunned by Ruby’s Silver Eyes. Fortunately, Jaune managed to get into a much healthier headspace following his time in Atlas and learned from his experiences. In addition to improving his calm under fire, he managed to apply a solid measure of his tactical sensibilities to personable combat. This was where his heavy defensive focus truly started to express itself, shifting his focus to protecting himself, his allies, and his charges and only attacking when the blow could efficiently end the immediate threat. While his core technique was underdone, his tandem use of his alternative abilities allowed him to adjust to different situations even if he couldn’t win himself.

In Mantle, Jaune slew numerous Grimm in the streets by intercepting their attacks before immediately striking back, notably impaling a Sabyr after it jumped onto his shield and later throwing a hard-light Dust grenade into a pack of Sabyrs for them to faceplant into. While unsuccessful at evading Vine Zeki while sparring in Atlas, he achieved greater success when he fended off Flynt Coal’s Killer Quartet, enduring the assault before closing in and overpowering him. Against Neopolitan in the Atlas Academy dorms, Jaune managed to intercept her running charge and blew her backward with his gravity Dust repulsor, though he and the rest of his team were ultimately outmaneuvered by the assassin and forced to flee with the arrival of the Atlas security forces. When confronting James Ironwood two days later, Jaune immediately followed up Emerald Sustrai’s disarmament and kick with a slashing sequence, and though the general was able to stop him and counter, Jaune immediately turned it around with his repulsor, giving Oscar Pine and opportunity to run in and attack himself. In these various encounters, Jaune demonstrated great skill and fending off direct aggressors and using their energies against them, even when fighting opponents far above his own level like Ironwood. Rather than just enduring an attack, he brought it to a halt by disrupting their forward advance and landing devastating counters. Conversely, Jaune was less successful against more subversive opponents who could outmaneuver and undercut him, which is what he faced against Neo and ran into against Tyrian Callows in Oniyuri. Furthermore, his success was predicated on his ability to strike at the moment of greatest vulnerability, and if unable to get the drop on his target, he could get into trouble very quickly. Putting these strengths and limits on display was his second confrontation with Cinder Fall during the exodus to Vacuo. Despite seeing his old nemesis again and witnessing Yang Xiao Long’s apparent death, Jaune remained composed and focused on ensuring the civilians could escape, only engaging himself when the last were gone. He opened by flying in and blowing Cinder back with his shield and standing with Weiss and Penny Polendina, prepared to coordinate against their more powerful adversary. Unfortunately, Cinder divided her assailants and mortally wounded Penny, forcing Jaune to tend to her while Weiss was on her own. After Penny had Jaune reluctantly kill her to keep the Winter Maiden powers out of Cinder’s hands, an enraged Fall lashed out, but Jaune, despite his extreme emotional stress, stood his ground and repelled her. However, Cinder recovered too quickly for Jaune to properly retaliate, and he was quickly overwhelmed when the Fall Maiden destroyed his weapon.

RANKING: Tier 5, Standard Application

Jaune Arc’s inexperience and limited performance in single combat make it clear that he is not a master, but he still possesses a well-rounded and comprehensive skill set that covers his bases and improves his overall viability. His greatest asset is his intelligent tactical analysis on the battlefield, enabling him to adapt to situations and exploit weaknesses, even if someone else lands the killing blow instead of him. In single combat, he can contend with superior martial artists by leveraging his techniques to nullify their offensives and hit them where they don’t expect, though his battles with Cinder and Neo prove that this has its limits. Appropriately, Jaune Arc wears Pyrrha Nikos’s influence on his sleeve, both being talented albeit thinly spread fighters who compensate for their lack of development by using all of their skills together. The difference is that where Pyrrha built a special weapon to enable all of her attack options in her technique, Jaune supported his basic technique with strong support gadgets and good armor to provide a margin for error. Jaune’s feats make him seem better than he actually is, but unlike Volume 1’s macho dofus, Jaune is now aware of this, and has built his tactics accordingly.

SPECIAL

Jaune Arc was a late bloomer when it came to his Semblance, unaware of his abilities even after a year of formal training and thus making him an anomaly among his peers. It was not until the Battle of Haven that Jaune finally properly manifested his powers. Named Aura Amp, Jaune’s Semblance allowed him to amplify and enhance the Auras of both himself and others, bolstering the affect of the manifested soul power. All Auras bless their users with moderate protection from direct injury, mitigating minor wounds, and the ability to utilize their own Semblances. When amplified by Jaune, these abilities became far more pronounced, strengthening Aura shields far beyond their limits, enhancing the magnitude of a Semblance, and turning the mild regeneration into active healing, this last part easily being the most pronounced of Jaune’s powers. The first time his Semblance unconsciously activated in the Forever Fall forest, Jaune was able to recover from the beating he took from Cardin Winchester fast enough to immediately engage the Ursa Major. This went even further when he properly unlocked his Semblance at Haven. After Cinder Fall impaled Weiss Schnee in order to spitefully torment him, Jaune’s emotional distress over another friend being severely injured on his watch, coupled with his need to save Weiss’s life finally caused his powers to properly manifest. Despite the fact that she had clearly gone into shock and was suffering from serious blood loss, Weiss was able to regain consciousness after mere minutes of treatment, and after a few more had regained enough of her energies to Summon a Queen Lancer and fight through the remainder of the battle. Making this even more impressive was that Jaune was able to accomplish this instinctively and with little to no effect on his stamina. Jaune refined his abilities for active use in the following weeks, to the point where he could casually heal the Huntsman Dudley’s broken arm on the Argus Limited, and later treated the battered Oscar Pine after rescuing him from the Monstra. Beyond healing, Jaune’s ability to amplify Auras allowed him to empower the barriers of others to help them endure incoming attacks. In Argus, he bolstered himself and Nora Valkyrie to brace against the Colossus’s punch, and thought disabled by the hit, Jaune’s power still saved their lives. On a smaller though no less impressive scale, Jaune’s amplification proved instrumental in allowing Penny Polendina to resist the effects of Arthur Watts’ computer virus, allowing her human soul to overpower her circuitry. Most impressive by far was Jaune’s ability to enhance others’ Semblances by adding his strength to their own. Lie Ren was his most common partner in this, empowering Tranquility to the point where Ren could mask the entire Argus Limited train and whole mobs of civilians in Mantle, as well as conceal at least ten trained Huntsmen from detection by whole armies of Grimm. When Penny nearly succumbed to Watts’ virus, Jaune’s enhancement of Weiss’s Glyphs allowed them to restrain her long enough to offer aid. However, Jaune’s Semblance was not without its limits. Prolonged use could drain his own Aura quickly, and even his own substantial Aura reserves were not limitless. Furthermore, his healing powers could not mend all injuries, as Nora’s electric scars and the severity of Penny’s mortal wound from Cinder were beyond his ability to heal.

In addition to his Semblance, Jaune added to his arsenal with Dust gadgets during his time in Atlas, specifically the hard-light panels and gravity repulsor built into Crocea Mors’ shield. Pioneered by Atlas and therefore costly to obtain outside of it, hard-light Dust is most commonly used in the creation of advanced defensive technology, generating tangible panels of energy strong enough to withstand severe kinetic impacts. The projectors installed in the edges of Jaune’s shield could create barriers approximately a foot and a quarter wide and running down the full length, effectively doubling his range of protection, improving his ability to function as a defensive wall for himself and his allies. While the strength limits of these projections has never been tested, I do feel they are at least comparable in strength to the shields created by figures such as Weiss Schnee and Arthur Watts, who were able to hold back the White Fan Lieutenant’s brutish chainsaw blows and block high-caliber gunfire from Due Process respectively. More contemporary but no less potent, gravity Dust affected forces of push and pull in ways meant to facilitate adhesion, propulsion, and levitation, traits that made it an extremely common fuel in vehicles. When applied combatively, gravity Dust used these same properties to function as limited telekinetic attacks, usually through the guided manipulation of thrown weapons, enhancing the tactile striking power of manual weapons, or, in the case of Jaune, powerful offensive shockwaves. Outfitted in the center of the shield, Jaune’s repulsor enabled him to project bursts of power that pushed out in all directions, strong enough to repel charging enemies and deflect attacks though not enough to actively damage his environment. Though unable to injure Neo, Ironwood and Cinder directly, the repulsor was still strong enough to stagger them, potentially setting up for a follow up strike. This weapon in particular became Jaune’s most readily utilized combative tool, his favorite tactic being to activate it just as the opponent came within striking distance, essentially delivering shield bashes with a touch of a button. Despite only recently taking these gadgets up, Jaune quickly became highly profieient in their use, smoothly integrating these abilities into his overall fighting method and together with one another. In addition to combining the functions to turn his shield into a makeshift hang glider, Jaune could project the gravity waves to push back obstacles while activating the hard-light panels to cover his flanks, using this very method to clear away a pack of Centinels while infiltrating the SDC mine. This combination tactic further demonstrated Jaune’s approach of utilizing all his abilities together as part of a greater fighting method, getting around his lack of power and skill through versatility and logistics. At the same time however, Jaune’s Dust abilities had their own individual limits. The hard-light panels were a very specialized tool, and Ironwood’s ability to penetrate Watt’s barriers proves that even special Atlas Dust can’t take a beating forever. While the gravity repulsor gave Jaune an offensive option, the kinetic output wasn’t sufficient to injure or kill, forcing Jaune to rely on other means to decisively defeat his adversary.

Regarding Jaune’s use of his special abilities in live combat, he clearly emphasized versatility over lethality, sacrificing offensive might for tactical supremacy. While his Semblance’s properties have been most impressively demonstrated on external subjects, Jaune can and has used the power on himself to potentially decisive effect. While training in Atlas, Oscar Pine observed that Jaune’s Aura was recovering at a significantly faster rate than usual, which leads me to believe that, similarly to Hazel Rainart’s Numbing Agent, Aura Amp functions as a minor healing factor to help Jaune replenish his energies. Unlike Rainart, however, Jaune’s active use of his Semblance can allow him to do this on command and more quickly, which, combined with Aura Amp’s healing properties, makes him one of the only characters with the ability to mitigate his own injuries in the field. Both of his Dust gadgets follow similar patterns of improving Jaune’s survivability, the hard-light shields artificially bolstering his martial defense while the gravity repulsor adds a layer of counteroffensive. The latter has proven effective and giving Jaune a punch against opponents above his own level, successfully repelling Neopolitan, James Ironwood, and even Cinder Fall TWICE. However, much like his martial skills, Jaune’s effectiveness as an ethereal combatant is predicated on his breadth of tools rather than their magnitude of his native proficiency. His Semblance is almost entirely a tactical support power, and its various powers still have their limitations that make its efficacy in single combat suspect. While a number of factors were at play when Jaune was forced to euthanize Penny, the narrative framing makes it clear that the severity of her injuries would have been beyond his ability to repair even if he had time and shelter. As far as his Dust abilities are concerned, Jaune may make creative integrations of his powers into his fighting style, but neither his shields nor repulsor have the means to decisively end the battle on his terms. The effectiveness of the gravity repulsor is based around its ability to stagger the opponent and set up for a counterattack, meaning its effectiveness is significantly reduced if the opponent recovers quickly enough to exploit Jaune’s lack of skill as a martial artist. Against Neopolitan, the attack was able to disrupt her forward charge and launch her down the hall, prompting her to retreat. Against Ironwood, Jaune had the support of his allies, with Oscar rushing in to attack immediately after the Dust activated, while Weiss and Penny were clearly preparing to do the same against Cinder. Jaune wasn’t so lucky when he was forced to fight Cinder on his own, their final bout taking place when Weiss was already disabled and Penny was dead. With only his native abilities as support, Jaune’s final push against Cinder merely provoked her, and her quick recovery allowed the Fall Maiden to rally and shatter his weapon, Jaune’s survival owing entirely to the timely arrival of Winter Schnee.

RANKING: Tier 5, Limited Combat

Much like his fighting abilities, Jaune Arc’s special powers are comprehensive and versatile, but they lack the development to reliably set the battle on his terms. His Semblance offers various supportive abilities that improve his survivability in the field, while the traits of his Dust loadout add layers to his fighting style, all coming together to cover all of his bases for just about any combat situation. At the same time, he lacks the developed skill with these powers to properly control the engagement, getting by through the breath of his skill set and his intelligent use of all of his skills. Rather than mastery of his abilities, Jaune Arc relies on clever gadgets to artificially elevate his fighting style into something greater than the sum of its parts, and his baseline reliability hinges on circumstantial factors. However, Jaune ‘s limitations do not make him any less of a threat, and his cunning use of the various tricks in his bag means that he can still comfortably engage any situation even if he can’t always win.

OVERALL RANKING: TIER 5, STANDARD HUNTSMAN

Compared to the true masters of his era, Jaune Arc is not a particularly exceptional combatant, but he is still significantly above the rank-and-file. On the back of his martial skills and special abilities, Jaune stands as the archetypical example of a Tier 5 combatant in the RWBY setting. His foundation stands on his rock-solid physical attributes, his exceptional athletic performance levels giving him parity with better trained opponents and his inhuman resiliency giving him the ability to work through the hits he needs to take, further supplemented by top tier combat armor. With his versatile weapon set, solid general purpose fighting technique, potent empowering Semblance, and flexible set of Dust tools, Jaune possesses an extremely comprehensive skill set that leaves him prepared for just about any combat situation, but his lack of developed skill means that none of these attributes are elevated to a degree that can decisively tip the scales of the battle in his favor, leaving him spread thin and vulnerable against more skilled adversaries. However, being a jack of all trades/master of none does not make one an inept combatant, as Jaune’s attributes still give him a degree of adaptability and grit that many more specialized fighters tend to lack. Jaune’s saving grace is his tactical mindset, allowing him to circumvent his limitations by using all of his assets, be they his own or those of his allies, together as a layered combative tool to stay alive and win in the long term. Furthermore, despite his lack of formal training, Jaune has spent almost his entire career either on the battlefield or contending against opponents far above his own level, and he has still survived.

Jaune Arc’s ranking shows that he is not yet a true master combatant and still has a long way to go before truly matching his peers, but his track record also makes it very clear that he is growing very quickly and will undoubtably match or exceed them. He is a rising star, only held back by a series of roadblocks that continue to temper him. Jaune entered Beacon feeling that to be a Huntsman and a hero was to be a mighty warrior standing on his own laurels, though the harsh realities have not only shattered this narrow worldview but also brought out Jaune’s true route to greatness. Similarly, Pyrrha’s death led him to believe that self-sacrifice was all he was good for if it meant giving his friends a chance to survive, but those very friends made it clear that throwing his life away would only hurt them more. Instead of laying waste to armies of enemies as a one man badass, he has grown into a stalwart defender dedicated to surviving to protect those that cannot do so themselves. Rather than the lethal blade of his sword, it is the impenetrable shield in his off hand that has come to define the kind of hero that Jaune Arc is. He will stand firm against evil for the sake of others, holding out as long as he must while searching for ways to end the threat with as little lives lost as possible. The strength of this shield need only be gauged by what it and its wielder has endured. The Breach, the Fall of Beacon, the Battle of Haven, the Atlas Crisis; Jaune Arc survived all this and more, and he has emerged all the stronger and wiser for it. Pyrrha Nikos saw more in Jaune than the rest of them did, and I think it’s safe to say that she could not have been prouder of who he has become; as a Huntsman, as a leader, as a warrior, and more than anything else, as a man.

Project JP - A Call Home

/== Chapters ==/

Pyrrha sat on her bed in JNPR’s dorm. She was alone. Nora and Ren had left for a “club meeting” while Jaune mentioned something about “family business” he needed to take care of. So without anything else, she took the time to call home.

Athena Nikos: Pyrrha? Pyrrha! Is there something wrong?

Pyrrha: No, mom, nothing is wrong. I’m alone in my dorm, so I thought I’d give you a call.

Athena : Such a dutiful daughter I raised. So how is Beacon?

Pyrrha: It’s good. I’ve actually made some friends, and I have a cute… er great partner>

Athena : (giggling) Does this cute… I mean, great partner have a name?

Pyrrha: It’s Jaune. Jaune Arc he’s such a good…

Athena : (tone instantly cold) Did you say Arc?

Pyrrha: Mom?

Athena : Answer my question, please.

Pyrrha: Yes.

Athena : What is this… Arc’s parent’s names?

Pyrrha: I… I don’t know. Is there something wrong?

Athena : It maybe nothing… but find out who is parents are, and tell me as soon as you have.

Pyrrha: Okay… I guess…

Athena : (tone going back to warm) How is your diet?

Pyrrha: Good. I’ve had no cravings, Red Meat, rare twice a day.

Athena : Good. Good.

Mini Fanfic #1113: All in This Together (RWBY)

Pyrrha Nikos. A huntress very well known by many to have a promising future ahead of her. A future that was taken too soon by the hands of Cinder Falls during the Fall of the Becon Academy.

She was believed to be dead after that, as hard and heart shattering for her closest love ones to accept overtime. But in some, twisted miracle, she was given the second chance in the living....but as Salem's emotionless puppet whose sole purpose is to physically mess with our group of heroes, Jaune especially. But fortunately, after a long, emotional fight, the gang was able to break their friend free from the witch's control and get to live oit the continue her to live her previously taken life with the people she holds dear, but even that has it draw backs.

Recurring nightmares, anxiety over the future ahead.....It wasn't easy for the young woman to endure, even with the help her friends and family provides for her, which she is eternally grateful for. Try as she might, the past memories would always find some way to mess with her in her dreams until it was too much for her to handle. Like tonight for example. It was bad enough to make her wake up and leave her bedroom without waking up three of her teammates/lovers.

As Pyrrha sits herself down on the living room sofa, letting the TV play on mute, she closes her eyes and let out a sigh, wondering how she's going to handle her recurring problem for good.

?????: Pyrrha?

Pyrrha: (Quickly Opens her Eyes to See a Familiar Farm Boi Standing by the Hallway Entrance) Oscar? What are you doing up so late? Is everything okay?

Oscar: (Sighs While Making his Way to the Living Room) Not completely. (Sits Next to Pyrrha on the Sofa) I just woke up from another bad dream of mines.

Pyrrha: (Starts Getting Worried) Another dream of yours?

Oscar: (Starts Rubbing The Back of his Head Back and Forth) Yeah, it....has been ongoing for a while now I'll admit-ack! (Gets Pulled into a Loving Hug by Pyrrha)

Pyrrha: Oh my poor baby. Why didn't you tell anyone of us about it sooner? What have you even been dreaming about?

Oscar: Mostly everything Salem related. And everything I've been through up until we've finally took her down fpr this time. Kidnapped, tortured, being left for dead....It's a miracle I managed to survived all of that.

Pyrrha: And I'm very thankful for that....(Gives Oscar a Motherly Glare) But still, you should've told us about this sooner! You know as well as I do that we would've done everything we can to help.

Oscar: I-It's not like I wanted to keep this under wraps! You guys are already having a lot on your plate to deal with: rebuilding becon, forming new alliances, hunting down any remaining Grimms. (Looks Away While Frowning a Bit) The last thing I wanted to do is to have you waste your time worrying over me.....

Pyrrha: It's true that we all have been a lot more busier since the world is finally at peace. But you have been through just as much pain and suffering as the rest of us here, if not more. The least any of us can do is provide you all the care and support you need.

Oscar: I know. (Turns Back to Pyrrha) And trust me, I appericate everything you guys done for me so far. I just wish I could return a favor.

Pyrrha: (Smiles Softly) You've being in our lives is far more of a favor than we could ever ask for. And I don't think I need to explain how much we love you to pieces now, do I?~ (Starts Kissing on Oscar's Cheeks)

Oscar: (Chuckles Ticklishly by Pyrrha's Kisses) Okay, okay!~ I love you guys too~ B-But seriously though, what are doing up in this hour? You had bad dream too?

Pyrrha: (Frowns a Bit Sadly) I did unfortunately....It was sort of a back and forth between what happened back at the academy to me becoming Salem's pawn. Among other things I.....don't feel uncomfortable talking about right now.....

Oscar: I see. How are you feeling now that you're awake?

Pyrrha: ('Sigh') Well, I dom feel the need to cry my eyes out this time around, so there's that at least.

Oscar: But the thought of everything that happened to you is getting too difficult to ignore completely.

Pyrrha: Exactly. (Looks Up at the Ceiling) I should blessed, thrilled even, to be given another opportunity to live out the rest of my life with all of you. But as wonderful as this experience has been so far, these thoughts.......(Softly Balled up her Fist Together) the memories........They continue to find ways to haunt me and make me lost sight of what I'm fighting for and needless to say, I'm quite frankly getting tired of all of this

Oscar: Pyrrha.....

Pyrrha: So after giving it some thought, I figured.....maybe it might be time that I take Glynda in on that offer of hers.

Oscar: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) Offer?

Pyrrha: (Nodded in Agreement) It's high time I take therapy sessions. And I want you to do so as well, Oscar.

Oscar: Okay, time out for a second. You're telling me that Ms. Goodwitch is a psychologist now?

Pyrrha: (Happily Nodded) Mmhmm. She actually gotten a master's degree on psychology years before becoming becon's headmistress, even started doing this kind of profession as a part time occupation for quite sometime now.

Oscar: Good to see her do something other than trying to fix the acemdey up back herself. That must've taken a lot out of her.

Pyrrha: I couldn't imagine what she was going through during that time, but that's neither here or there at the moment. (Takes a Deep Breath Before Speaking Again) I know this will probably take a lot of getting used, but if we really want to continue living our lives without the harshness of our past holding both of us back going through, then we have to start from somewhere. I can't really guarantee that it will solve our problems completely......

Oscar: But it could us help us gain the confidence we need to conquer our own fears, am I right?

Pyrrha: Yeah, exactly. Or....at least I hope that'll be the case.....

Oscar: (Place his Hand on Top of Pyrrha's While Giving her a Reassuring yet Determined Look on his Face) Then let's give these sessions a fair shot then.

Pyrrha: (Stares at Oscar For a Brief Second Before Smiling Back With a Determined Nod as She Gently Squeezes the Top of his Hand) Right. Let's. (Let's Out Another Sigh) I'm really starting to feel a lot better now that you're here with me for tonight, Oscar.

Oscar: (Smiles Softly) I'm just glad I was able to help you in some way. You seemed really out it when I first saw you sitting here minutes ago.

Pyrrha: You weren't entirely wrong on that assumption. All this thought about the future has got me feeling on edge as of late.....

Oscar: Make sense. No one can tell what the future has in store for each of us. The best we can do now is keep living the present and see where it takes us from here. (Rests his Head Onto Pyrrha's Shoulder) And honestly, I don't really mind do that so long as I get to live it with you guys.

Pyrrha: (Heart Begins to Melt in Pure Happiness) Ruby was right about you.

Oscar: Hm?

Pyrrha: (Happily Hugs Oscar Once More) You really are the biggest sweetheart ever!~

Oscar: (Starts Snickering) And you're almost as bad as Nora when it comes to smothering~

Pyrrha:: (Smirks Playfully) Oh come now, how could Nora possibly be worse than me, hmm?~

Oscar: The woman literally declared that I'm her son the moment we first saw each other. And don't even get me started on all the times she hug tackled me so far.

????: Hey!

The duo turns to see the rest of their teammates and family standing by the living room entrance way.

Nora: (Pouts at Oscar With her Hands on her Hips) I thought you love my motherly affections!~

Oscar: I do. Doesn't make it any less embarrassing.

Pyrrha: (Smiles Softly at her Three Lovers) You three are finally awake.

Ren: We've noticed you two weren't in respective beds at the time.

Jaune: (Frowns Worryingly) Are you guys okay in here?

Oscar: We are now that we have each other's company.

Pyrrha: And you three are more than welcome to join watch TV for the rest of the night if you like.

Nora: (Smiles Brightly) Would I!?~ (Rushes Over to the Sofa Sitting Next to Oscaron the Other Side) Whatcha you guys watching this time of hour?

Oscar: Uh.... (Takes a Look at The Screen) A western movie I think? We barely even paid any attention to the to.it really.

Nora: (Notices Oscar's Head is on her Shoulder Now) What's this? (Playfully Crosses her Arms) I thought you said my motherly affections was embarrassing~

Oscar: (Already Has a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Nora, we both know that doesn't either one of us from loving each other any less. Besides.....(Starts Blushing a Little) I love having you as a mom.....

Nora: (Heart Begins to Melt in Pure Happiness) Oh Oscar!~ (Finally Hugs Oscar Very Lovingly) Momma Nora loves you sooooo much!~

Oscar: ('Sigh') Love you too, Nora.

Pyrrha: (Starts Pouting at Oscar) Hey!~ You're supposed to be my cuddle partner for tonight, you traitor!~

Nora: Oh don't be such a crybaby, Pyrrha, I don't mind sharing~

Pyrrha: Oh well if that's the case.....(Smiles Brightly With her Arms Spread Wide Open) Don't mind if I do!~

Oscar: ('Sigh') Oh boy......

Pyrrha happily joins in on the Oscar Hugfest.

Jaune: (Starts Chuckling at What's in Front of Him and Ren) Awwww~ It looks like the girls form themselves an Farm Boi sandwich~ Really wish my scroll isn't charging right now, I would've a billion pictures. Pretty sure you'd do the same too, eh Ren?

Ren: (Too Busy Staring at the Trio) ...........

Jaune: Uh... Ren?

Ren: (Immediately Comes Back to Reality) Oh! S-Sorry. I couldn't help but notice that Pyrrha is still here with us right now.

Jaune: (Smiles Softly) I know, right? We've been living together for a while and I still can't believe it. We'll do better in looking out for her this around.

Ren: (Nodded in Agreement) Right. In the meantime......(Pulls Out his Scroll his Pajamas Panrs Pocket With a Bit of a Sly Smirk on his Face) I believe we got some pictures to take, don'tcha think?

Jaune: (Smiles Brightly at his Boyfriend Next to Him) My man.

Greek Lotus Headcanons!

I decided to change the name of Ren's birth village form Kuroyuri to Bai Lianhua. Kuroyuri is a Japanese name, and follows the Japanese language of flowers, but Ren himself and his family are supposed to be Chinese, what. Since Ren's allusion is Chinese, his birth village reflects that, with a similar meaning in the Chinese language of flowers. Anyway, let's get into it.

Ren and Nora do not meet each other until later in my AU. Ren unlocked his semblance by himself when Bai Lianhua was attacked by a huge Nian grimm. This allowed him to survive as he traveled alone for weeks. He was finally found and taken in by an old couple native to Higanbana, which is where the Japanese elements in his outfits are from.

Pyrrha comes from a long line of powerful huntsman. The Nikos family is one that is well-known all throughout Remnant, and Pyrrha is no exception. Just like every generation before her, Pyrrha proved to be an excellent fighter, but unlike every generation before her, she decided to attend Beacon instead. By moving to Vale, Pyrrha hoped to leave some of her crushing fame behind, with no such luck, until-

Ren and Pyrrha meet in the Emerald forest during initiation. They were attracted to each other right away. While Pyrrha expected Ren to gush over her celebrity status, he didn't. Instead, he was simply kind to her, and never mentioned her fame. The two of them became partners, and worked together to escape the forest alive. They were able to work great together from the start, and eventually forming team WRAP with Sun and Sage.

They become close friends due to their partnership. Something about them just "clicks" so right in so many ways. They quickly found that they both now had someone to confine to, something they hadn't experienced before in their formerly lonely lives.

There's just a lot of mutual pining.

Pyrrha is canononically a few inches taller than Ren, even without heels, and you can pry this from my cold dead hands.

Such a classy duo fr. They both love to dress up.

Would totally take up ballroom dancing as a hobby.

Absolutely a pair of history buffs.

"Would you like to go to a museum today?" "That sounds lovely."

The above exchange can go either way tbh.

Once they start dating, they get into the habit of doing each other's hair. Kinda necessary when both you and your SO have glorious manes.

The domestic one: Both of them! While Pyrrha didn't have as much time to learn how to cook, she is a fast learner. Ren offers to teach her how when they're still in that "w-what if we kissed?" stage. They spilt cleaning and laundry duties, they both enjoy them for some reason. Also. They wash the dishes together at the sink, and it's too cute to be legal.

Infamous X RWBY

This is another idea I had after playing Infamous again on my PS3. Its a little crossover between the game and RWBY. Let me know if you guys like it or not.

--------------------

Pyrrha and Jaune are leaving the post office. They went to pick up what Pyrrha's fans sent her. Jaune carries the boxes that were sent to her, while Pyrrha has a basket full of letters.

Jaune: Wow, your admirers sure did send you a bunch of packages.

Pyrrha: What can I say, my fans love me too much *She laughs nervously*

Jaune: But it's good that I came with you. You would have made two trips if you had come alone.

Pyrrha: *Smiles* Yep, lucky me (Lucky me indeed~)

In the distance Jaune and Pyrrha hear someone crying for help.

Old Woman: Someone help me!

Thief: Give me your wallet, old lady!

Pyrrha and Jaune watch as the thief runs away with the old lady's bag. They then look at each other for a moment until Jaune speaks.

Jaune: Go! You are faster than me. I'll take care of your stuff.

Pyrrha: *Smiles* Okay leader.

Pyrrha runs off, leaving Jaune alone with the packages and letters.

Jaune: Well, it's time to find a bench.

Moments later:

Thief: Agh!

Pyrrha finally caught the thief and has him on the floor. She called the police to come and get him, and while she waits for them she texts Jaune telling him that she caught the thief.

Jaune (text): Good job! 😆 You've earned a chocolate ice cream🍦😎

Pyrrha can only smile at the message. Something that has not been mentioned, is that Pyrrha and Jaune have become closer. So close that one would say that they are dating. Unfortunately, neither of them has taken the first step yet. But Pyrrha thinks that today will be the day that will change, and they will be together together, as Nora says.

After a while, the police arrived on the scene and they arrested the thief.

Police: Thank you very much, Miss Nikos.

Pyrrha: You're welcome.

She was about to leave but the officer stops her.

Police: Excuse me, can I have your autograph?

Pyrrha: Sure.

The officer gives her his notebook and a pen, and Pyrrha takes them.

Pyrrha: In whose name do I make the autograph?

Police: Oh yes, it would be Daniel, that's my name.

Pyrrha: Ok, "Daniel, thanks for your support. Your friend, Pyrrha Nikos." Here you go.

Police: Oh thank you so-

*Kaboom*

In the distance Pyrrha and the people around her see a huge explosion. But it's not just any explosion, it was like a blue sphere that covered part of the city. Screams of terror could be heard, the ground trembled, buildings collapsed, and cars and other things fall from the sky. No one expected this, no one would want to experience this. They were all terrified. Pyrrha is terrified, but not because of the explosion, but because Jaune was in that area.

------------------

News Anchor: Good afternoon, we have been informed that part of the city of Vale has been attacked by what is believed to be a terrorist attack. The authorities are doing everything possible to help and take control of the situation. At the moment we do not have information on how many people have been affected by the attack or how this terrible incident occurred. We will inform you when we have more information. At this time the Vale government asks all inhabitants to evacuate and go to the Becon Academy for protection or to one of the posts created by the authorities. Please remain calm and follow the instructions of the officials. We will come back with more information.

------------------

Nora (Phone): Pyrrha, are you alright?! Is Jaune alright?! He doesn't answer his phone!

Pyrrha: *trying not to cry* Jaune was…

Nora (Phone): Tell me where you guys are. I'll tell Prof. Goodwitch to pick you two up!

Pyrrha: Jaune was there.

Nora (Phone): Huh?

Pyrrha: .Jaune... Jaune was at the explosion.

Nora (Phone): No, please don't tell me that. Please tell me he's okay. *crying* Tell me that he is fine and that he is with you, please!

Pyrrha: I went to catch a thief and he stayed there waiting for me. I got too far away from him and then… *Crying*

Nora (Phone): ...Please, tell me where you are, I don't want… I don't want to lose you too.

Hearing that, Pyrrha feels a stab in her heart. Jaune is really gone.

------------------

News Anchor: Good Evening, we have more information about the attack. The explosion is over. The authorities inform us that at this moment, they have found no signs of how this happened or if there is a possibility that the attack will continue. They also inform us that the explosion was a high intensity electrical explosion, as I mentioned before, the authorities are still investigating how it happened. They also found people injured and they where taken to the nearest hospital. they also found other people that past away in the attack. The number of dead has just passed 600 bodies until now, and it is estimated that this number will rise. The authorities are still looking for more survivors and the cause of all this. We will come back with more information.

------------------

Beacon academy.

A Bullhead arrived at the academy. In it was Prof. Goodwitch with a group of civilians and Pyrrha. Her mind was lost. She kept seeing the last message Jaune sent her. She tries to find a solution as to how she could have saved him. Maybe if she had caught the thief earlier, Jaune would still be alive. Or maybe they were able to be together when all this happened. But that does not matter.

After all the civilians came down, Prof. Goodwitch tapped her on her shoulder to get her attention.

Glynda: Pyrrha, we're here. Do you want me to walk you to your room?

Pyrrha: No, thanks. My team is waiting for me.

Glynda: If you need to talk to someone, I'm here.

Pyrrha just nodded her head and got off the bullhead. In the distance she could see Ren and Nora waiting for her. Nora's eyes were red from crying and Ren had a sad expression. She walks over to them and she hugs Nora. Once again the two of them begin to cry.

------------------

Ground Zero

In the middle of the explosion, Jaune is lying on the floor. His clothes are torn, but can still be used to cover himself. Little by little he opens his eyes and he can only see the sky covered with smoke.

Jaune: (What happened to me? Why does my body hurt?)

Jaune gets up with difficulty and sees that he is in the middle of a large crater and part of the city is in ruins.

Jaune: *Scared* What happened?

Jaune checks his body to see that everything is alright and reaches for his Scroll. But when he finds it he sees that it is destroyed, as if burned from within

Jaune: (I can't stay here. I need to move to a safe place.)

Jaune moves slowly. Although he is fine, his body feels sore. He begins to leave the crater through an underground parking lot, well what's left of the parking lot. Upon entering he passes through an electrical box that keeps running electricity out of control and electrocuted him. He feels like all the electric current running through his body, but it doesn't hurt him. After a few seconds he is released from the current and he walks away from it.

Jaune: What the fuck happened?! I should be dead!

In the distance he can hear someone's voice. He starts to walk towards her, but he doesn't find a person, but a walkie talkie. Around the device there is only rubble.

Jaune: (What could have happened to the owner?)

He takes the walkie talkie and looks for a signal where he can hear someone or something. Any kind of signal that helps you understand what is happening. Jaune tried every channel until he got something.

Walkie Talkie: Alpha team here! We have another survivor! Where are you? We are on the south side of the mall! Understood, we'll send the paramedics to your area.

Jaune is excited to hear that there are people around, although he still doesn't know what's going on, but it seems that too many people were affected by it. Jaune then tried to talk to them.

Jaune: Hello, does anyone hear me?!

Walkie Talkie: Who is this?

Jaune: I'm Jaune, a Beacon student. What happened?

Walkie Talkie: There was an attack, what are you doing here?!

Jaune: I just woke up, I don't know what's going on!

Walkie Talkie: A survivor! Where are you?!

Jaune: I am at the... *Looks back to the crater* well where there used to be a park.

Walkie Talkie: How did you survive-?! Forget it that doesn't matter now. You are close to one of the shelters. You have to go to the bridge that is in the direction of the Becon Academy. do you know it?

Jaune: Yes!

Walkie Talkie: Good. Go, and if anything happens let me know on the Walkie Talkie. I'll be on channel 4, the channel you're on is only for rescuers.

Jaune: Ok!

Walkie Talkie: Good luck

Jaune strapped the Walkie Talkie to his waistband and made his way to the bridge.

------------------

At Beacon, JNPR room.

*Knock Knock*

Ruby: Pyrrha, can I come in?

Silence

Ruby: *slowly opens the door* I'm sorry, but I'm coming in.

Upon entering she sees Pyrrha back and she is on Jaune's bed hugging his sword.

Ruby: Pyrrha, Nora told us what happened. I'm so sorry and I want you to know that we are here for you.

Silence

Ruby: Is it okay for me to stay here for a while?

Pyrrha just nods her head. Ruby sat down next to her and remained silent. After a time, Pyrrha began to speak.

Pyrrha: It's my fault.

Ruby: It's not your fault.

Pyrrha: If it is! I asked him to come with me! I left it there while I ran to catch that stupid thief! I was too late and left him there alone! I…*Hugs the sword tighter* I…*Begins to cry again* I killed Jaune.

Ruby: You didn't kill him. It was not your fault. Sometimes bad things happen when we don't want to.

Pyrrha: But why him?! Why did it have to be him?! Why wasn't that fucking thief?! Why did the man I love have to die?! He was so good to me. He always treated me like someone normal, we watched movies together, and sometimes he brought me my favorite sweets just because. I miss him.

Ruby: I miss him, too.

Ruby tries not to cry, but the loss of her friend was very hard. The first friend she makes upon arriving in Beacon and the first friend she loses in her life. She was going to say something else but suddenly yang appears with bad news.

Yang: Girls! Another attack is happening!!

------------------

Ground Zero, minutes before the second attack.

Jaune was able to move through all the destruction on his way to the bridge. He climbs a wall and on the other side he sees the bridge in the distance.

Jaune: *Takes a deep breath* Finally....

He gets down from the wall and starts walking towards the bridge. He sees a lot of people being treated at the entrance of the bridge and from there they are taken to a safe place. As he walks up to the birdge, a building collapses and hits a power line which falls into a large puddle of water where people are passing by to get to the bridge. One of those people was Jaune.

The current was so strong that all the people were instantly electrocuted, except for Jaune. The current was too much for him, but it didn't kill him. Suddenly lightning began to fall from the sky. They all fell near the bridge. People were screaming and trying to get to a safe place. It was chaos.

Police 1: We are under attack! Get to safety!!

Police 2: Run across the bridge! Don't stop!

They all started running, even Jaune, after he was able to free himself from the electric current. Lightning struck the entire bridge. The cars exploded on impact, people died electrocuted. It was a horrible image. Jaune keeps running, praying that he isn't next. He can see the end of the bridge and he starts to run faster. He feels tired, but he doesn't want to die here. As he crosses the bridge, he passes out and the lightning stops. The paramedics see him and approach him to treat him.

------------------

Beacon academy, RWBY Room.

The girls of Team RWBY and the rest of Team JNPR, see the attack on television, lightning falling from the sky and the screams of the people, but nothing in detail. Everything was broadcast from afar, but it was still horrible to see. Suddenly the signal is cut and the news anchor appears.

News Anchor: Good evening, we are sorry to interrupt the transmission. What you have just seen is the second attack Vale has received today. At the moment we have no information on how this happened or the situation of the citizens in the area. We will come back with more information.

Weiss: This is getting out of control. Who could do something like this?

Blake: It feels like it was very random. I mean, the attack was in a park, not in a historical place, not in a government building, it was in a park. Do they just want to cause fear?

Yang: Whatever's going on, we're safe in here.

Pyrrha turns around and heads for the door.

Ruby: Pyrrha?

Pyrrha: I'm sorry but I'm very tired, I'm going to lie down.

Ruby: If you need anything let us know.

Pyrrha just nods her head and opens the door. Upon doing so she sees that Prof. Ozpin is about to knock on her team's door.

Pyrrha: Prof. Ozpin?

Ozpin: Oh Pyrrha, I thought you were in your room.

Pyrrha: You were looking for me? I'm sorry but I'm very tired.

Ozpin: I understand, but this is important.

Pyrrha: I'm sorry but right now is not a good time.

Pyrrha walks straight to her room and grabs the door handle.

Ozpin: Jaune is alive.

Pyrrha turns to see him with a shocked face.

Pyrrha: That's impossible!

Ozpin: But it is, he was rescued from the bridge and is taken to a hospital in the center of the city. Prof. GoodWitch is with him at this very moment, but I thought you might want to see him too.

Pyrrha: Please take me to him!

Ozpin: *Points to de direction of the bullhead port* This way, please.

As you can see is almost step by step with the game (if you know the game), but with some changes. The story is not going to be fully like the game, but will have some things here in there. So, you guys like it?
