Alright first I would like to point out that this is NOT an April Fool's joke chapter. I have instead decided to grace you with another chapter of this story in the spirit of Easter, so your welcome!

Beacon Arena

'This can't be happening! This boy has become a demon!' Screamed Edward Arc in his mind as he tried to avoid the transformed Arc's attacks with no success, as evidenced by the various gashes and missing pieces of his armor.

Jaune's transformation was more than a simple boost in speed and power but he also seemed to possess multiple extra abilities as well. Sometimes he would give off an aura of red that seemed to increase his speed to the point that he left afterimages of himself in his wake. That wasn't the only power however, since he also at times would give off aura's of white, ebony black and yellow, each with their own abilities.

Yellow allowed him to tank any damage Edward dished out and return it back at him with ten times the power it had been received. The ebony black allowed him to create copies of himself that seemed to work similar to his own semblance in that they had some sentience but only lasted a second or two before dissipating, which Edward was thankful for. Finally the damn white aura allowed him to create glyph's, similar to the Schnee's save for that they were all the same silver color as Jaune's armor no matter their effect, and not only could they speed him up or slow him down but they also worked as a sort of short range portal that basically allowed him to move and strike from anywhere at any time or place.

It was only a miracle that Jaune only seemed to be able to use one at a time and whichever one he used could be noticed by the color of aura he exuded.

After another bone rattling blow that implanted the elder Arc into the arena wall Jaune just stood where he was and examined his claws as he flexed them. Honestly this was his first time using this form and the power it gave off was in one word... intoxicating. While using the armor Jaune was able to use the aura's of people he had seen using them so right now all he could use was the semblances of team RWBY and Pyrrha's, the latter of which he has yet to use.

When Tyrant first described this form to him he only assumed it was a boost to his physical abilities, but in actuality it was so much more. This form basically took what he already possessed and took it up another ten levels, both his physical abilities and his aura abilities. Meaning the semblances he could already used were improved as well. For Ruby's his speed was off the charts, Yang's made him able to take much more damage and sing his own aura increase it tenfold, Blake's cloning semblance now allowed his clones to last a few second and serve as more than just attack blockers as they could now either be used for a quick counterattack or to hold someone in place for a second or two. Finally their was Weiss glyph's which didn't improve much save for the fact that he could now create portals that he could physically go through though Jaune had yet to learn the limitations of the abilities and had yet to use Pyrrha's.

"You alright old man? Sorry but this is my first time using this form so excuse me if I decide to experiment a little bit." Taunted Jaune as he watched his father pry himself from the wall.

*huff* *huff* "cheeky little brat!" *huff* *huff* "I am far from beaten!" Roared Edward as he charged at Jaune once more as pride overwrote his sense of reason once more.


While this was going on in the arena, everyone in the stand practically had their jaws planted on the floor. While everyone was left in shocked awe, and a hint of fear, at Jaune's sudden transformation, Team RWBY was more in shock at the fact that the teen Arc was using their semblances as if they were his own! Granted they were improved versions but each recognized them as their own semblance due to the aura they gave off when each was in use.

"I can't believe this... it's just not possible!" Exclaimed Weiss as she was on the verge of a mental breakdown at the fact that Jaune had turned into a humanoid dragon on top of the fact he was able to use her families personal semblance but a much more advanced version of it.

"I'm with you Weiss Queen. Knight boy has just turned into a beast, not to mention he's using my semblance!" Followed Yang as she didn't know whether to be upset with the Arc using her personal semblance or honored for the same reason. She was so happy she was recording the whole thin on her Scroll right now as this was going online asap!

Blake was silent but she too was having trouble coming to terms with what Jaune had just done and continued to do. His sudden change made her question if he was even human and if not, then what was he? Cause she was certain he wasn't a Faunus and despite her initial fears of him thanks to her instincts her curiosity to discover his secrets overrode it.

Ruby was stunned much like the others but to a lesser degree as Jaune had told her how his new 'semblance' worked, but this Tyrant Drive and what it apparently does to his abilities was completely new to her. Sure she was a little hurt he hadn't told her about this beforehand but she figured he had a reason for it.

Pyrrha was a little different in thought's as she was upset at not only had her own partner/crush not told her of his private training ground like Ruby, but he had actually held back in their spar during class. Her pride as a warrior was officially hurt along with her feelings. Sur enough, when Jaune was finished with this they would be having a rematch in the near future and he would not. Hold. BACK!

With Ren, despite Nora yelling in his ear's so many things at such speeds she might as well have been speaking a different language, he was keeping an unreadable poker face but in his mind he was even more suspicious of his leader and the origin of his abilities. He didn't know what it was about the Arc teen but his powers just seemed to put the ninja of Team JNPR on edge. He trusted Jaune as a person but his abilities is what made Ren wary and until Jaune told them about his abilities he would continue to be.

Jaune's sisters were practically dead to the world as they saw their brother, their sweet, caring and noble brother just turn into a freakin dragon and start tearing their old man a new one with what looked like multiple semblances!

Olivia and Bianca were beyond stunned at the fact that their brother was now officially the strongest of the Arc clan. As the oldest and best fighter's of their siblings they of course knew of Incursio's abilities and history but, like their father, were unable to unlock it's power. To see Jaune do so spoke volumes of the potential he wielded and both sisters knew that Jaune would only continue to grow stronger, cause when Jaune put his mind to something, he went above and beyond to complete it.

Rose was also surprised and happy with Jaune's sudden leap in both skill and power but was also a little fearful over the fact that now that he had the power he could pay her back for all the pranks she had pulled on him in their youth. With all of the pranks over the years, retribution would be hell on earth for her. That fact didn't stop her from drawing the scene of her brother destroying her father however.

Karen was in her own little world trying to figure out a way to at least replicate her brothers armor abilities but coming up short. So instead she settled for making a list of the armor's abilities as well as a note to talk to Jaune about the armor whenever possible.

Aqua, while surprised, was more proud than anything else that Jaune had proved her right that he would become a great Huntsmen where her older sister's said otherwise. Not only had Jaune become a literal 'knight in shining armor', he was now a dragon as well! That made him even more amazing in her eyes! She then delved off into her imagination of Jaune saving her from bandit's in his Incursio armor before turning into a dragon and flying off with her into the sunset.

Violet, much like Aqua, was proud for her brother. Despite his slow start he had risen above and beyond what she had come to know. Yet, even with all of his changes she could still see the same caring older brother that always loved to listen to her theories on Grimm or whenever the students at school upset her and she needed to vent. No matter how Jaune changed physically he would always be her caring big brother.

Jade was ecstatic more than anything else and was wishing she had an awesome sword that gave her armor as well so she could fight with her big brother. She had always admired his determination and 'never say die' attitude before but her admiration had shot up insanely upon seeing how far her favorite sibling had come.

Ozpin and Glynda meanwhile were in a heated discussion about the repercussions of what was going on and just what this could mean for the future of Remnant.

"Ozpin that boy's abilities are something unheard of! If you know who ever sunk her claws into him I don't think we would be able to survive. That boy must be kept a close watch on!" Demanded/stated Glynda. Jaune's display of power and new form had driven her near the brink of insanity as the teen Arc had proven just how much power he currently possessed and just the sheer thought of what he could become in the future sent a shiver down her spine.

"Peace Glynda, we have nothing to fear of joining her side. He has already proven to have a strong and incorruptible sense of morality that not even she can twist to her desires. While not loyal to us per se, his loyalty to those he cares for practically guarantee's his support for our cause. Be assured we will approach him after this to talk about how he acquired his... 'gifts'. But we will give no mention of the ongoing war unless we absolutely must. For now lets us see the conclusion of this family squabble." Stated Ozpin as he took a sip from his mug and returned to the match which could easily be seen to be nearing its end.


The one-sided slaughter was continuing anew as Jaune was using Weiss semblance to throw Edward like a ragdoll around the arena as he was constantly teleporting around. Piece by piece Jaune chipped away at his father's armor making sure that Edward's suffering lasted as long as possible.

He didn't just want to beat him, he wanted to humiliate him. He wanted Edward to know just what it was like to be put down and crushed under heel like the weakling he was. Just like what he did to Jaune everyday of his life until he came to Beacon and unlocked Incursio's power.

The old fool deserved it and Jaune was more than happy to deliver.

"How does it feel old man!? To feel so weak in the face of a stronger opponent! It is the same feeling I had everyday of my life up until coming to Beacon! You made my life hell and I am here to return the favor!" Roared Jaune as he slammed his tail into his opponents chest and shattered the rest of his chest armor, and making what little armor remained vanish and Grand Chariot revert to it's sword form, while sending him flying into the wall once more.

Despite his battered form, Edward still managed to rise to his feet with Grand Chariot still held firmly in his white knuckled grip. Despite the armor taking most of the punishment Jaune had dished out Edward was far from unscathed. His clothing was in tatters, displaying the numerous cuts and blackening bruises on his skin that even his aura was struggling to heal due to how little of it he had left from using it to just survive Jaune's overwhelming assault.

Spitting out a glob of blood and saliva Edward's aura began to converge on Grand Chariot's blade. He was putting all he had left into this last attack. When this duel began the elder Arc had simply wanted to beat his spawn into submission and use him as a way to gain some military or political power. Now, he wanted nothing more than to kill the teen, and this attack was what he was going to use to do it.

"I... will not... be made a fool of... BY A WEAKLIIIIINNNGGG!" Roared Edward as he rushed a still stationary Jaune with murderous intent and hate clear in his eyes. Even so Jaune refused to move or react in anyway despite the various shouts for him to do so by the spectators.

Closer and closer he came until finally Edward leaped at the dragonized version of his son with an overhead swing meant to cut him down the middle.

The world seemed to slow as the glowing blade of the Arc head descended on Jaune's form. Then, as one all of the spectator's save for Ozpin and Glynda yell in fear, "JAUNE!" just before the blade made contact in which a shockwave exploded through the arena sending all the loose rubble of the arena into the air and blinding everyone to what was happening in the arena.

Looking through the dust in worry for their friend/sibling everyone waited with baited breath and worried eyes expecting the worst yet hoping for the best.

A sudden sound of flapping wing's was heard right before a large gust of wind blew all the dust away to reveal the occupants of the arena in an unbelievable position.

There, standing with no trouble whatsoever stood Jaune still in his armor, with Edward Arc in his tail's grasp and Grand Chariot in one hand. At the last second Jaune had lashed out and grabbed the blade effectively stopping his father's attempt to cut him down.

"Pathetic." Was all Jaune said before letting his now harmless sire drop to the ground.

"What now brat?" Gasped out a now thoroughly exhausted Edward.

Jaune was silent for a moment before looking down at the blade in his hand that was a pale imitation of Incursio and suddenly got a devious idea. In a surprising move Jaune brought the blade up to his face and took a bite out of it. He didn't stop at just one however, he then went on to devour the entire sword. Everyone could only stare in stunned silence, or in Karen's case in outrage, as Jaune ate the weapon like it was a piece of celery.

As soon as he finished all was silent for a moment until Jaune suddenly hunched over in apparent pain as black tribal marking began to form along all along his arms and legs before connecting on his chest where a symbol reminiscent of Tyrants head over the Arc symbol formed. The entire process took only a few seconds but for Jaune it felt like minutes as it felt as if a missing piece of himself had finally been returned.

"You bastard how could you!? That was my source of power and now you took it from me!" Screamed Edward as what Jaune had just done finally caught up to him. Jaune had just taken away his greatest source of power and what put him so high up on the scale of the Huntsmen community.

Instead of answering Jaune took a deep breath before in a flash of light he was no longer in the armor and Incursio was sheathed on his back. But his tribal marks had stayed with him and could clearly be seen on his bare arms and around his collar bone while the rest was presumably hidden by his clothing. Jaune stared down at his sire with little to no feeling as the man was nothing more than a shadow of his former power.

"I took what was never meant to be yours Edward, in fact you should thank me as by devouring Grand Chariot and absorbing it's power I no longer need to kill you as is meant to happen when two Teigu wielders do battle. But upon your defeat I am now the head of the Arc clan and I already have my first decree prepared. Edward Arc, for your blatant shaming of the Arc name I hereby banish you from our family and strip you of the Arc name. If I ever catch you on Arc family lands I will finish what I started here, now get out of my sight!" Declared Jaune with so much authority that it caught everyone off guard.

Edward hobbled to his feet and glared at his son with so much hatred that even a Grimm wouldn't want to be anywhere near him.

"You will pay for this one day boy. Mark my words, you. Will, PAY!" And with those words Edward, formerly Edward Arc, limped away in defeat with thoughts of vengeance on his only son running through his mind.

Jaune watched his father leave with utmost silence and when he was finally out of sight released the breath he had been holding. Finally after all those years he had finally achieved one of his goals in life and that was to free his family from the shame that was his father.

Hearing the approach of many steps he turned to see his sisters, team RWBY, his own team and Professor Goodwitch and the Headmaster approaching him with looks varying from relief, to worry and to downright anger. Jaune knew he had a lot of explaining to do to his family and friends but he was more than willing to do so.

"The weak die and the strong survive, so the strong must protect the weak until they can become strong." Jaune uttered as he had sort of made it his personal motto. Esdeath had lived by believing that only the strong lived, but he would make sure to prove her wrong in this lifetime, he swore it! And an Arc always keeps their word.

Unknown Location

"So that is the inheritor of Incursio hm? I must say he certainly lives up to expectations. What do you think?" Asked a shadowed figure sitting on a throne. Their face was hidden but the voice was distinctly feminine as well as the quite visible curves displayed through the black dress the figure wore.

In front of her was a screen showing the fight between Jaune and Edward Arc that was taken from one of the camera's one of her servants had hacked. Seeing the boy through the eyes of one of her creations and a camera were certainly different but the boy was no less impressive.

The figure she was speaking to stepped into the light to reveal a woman standing five foot seven with an extremely voluptuous figure clad in a form fitting light grey, with a long black sleeve on her right arm, as her left arm appeared to be mechanical in nature, uniform reminiscent of what a general may wear with a hat atop her head, a blue scar around her neck and high heeled boots. Her hair fell down her back to her calves and it was light blue with her eyes being a slightly darker shade. Her skin was porcelain white and blemish free with the top of her uniform undone a bit to expose a generous amount of cleavage along with a strange Y shaped tattoo on her chest.

"I say he reminds me so much of Tatsumi. His hair and eyes may be different but their is no denying that he is practically Tatsumi's reincarnation. That look in his eyes and that sheer determination is undeniable." Stated the women with a tone of longing and nostalgia as memories from a very distant past caught up with her.

After the final battle for the empire where she had thought she had died it turns out her Teigu's trump card saved her once more and had actually managed to keep her alive all the way up until the women she was speaking to found, and freed her from her near death state. She even gave her a new arm to replace the one she had lost in the final battle.

"Good, cause I want you to meet him. My sources say that soon enough his class will be taking a little trip to the Forever Falls, the perfect spot for you two to meet. You can fight him if you wish but do not kill him. He may fit into my plans just yet. Understood, General Esdeath." Responded the figure as the now named Esdeath nodded and walked away with a certain pep in her step.

'I may have failed to win your heart in a past life Tatsumi, but here is my second chance and I will not waste it!' Declared Esdeath in her mind as she prepared to meet her loves descendant/reincarnation in the near future. She will have her love in this life, no matter who or what stands in her way.
