A Twist in Fate

Chapter 1

A soft breeze washed over a small river with a single stone bridge passing over it. Along the bank of the river stood a young man with messy blonde hair dressed in a pair of faded blue jeans and a black short sleeved hoodie with a bunny on the front of it. This young man was one Jaune Arc and at the moment he was sulking as he skipped rocks across the river. Right now, Jaune was sulking because he had missed his chance to go to Beacon Academy this year. He had been waiting all year for the chance to take the aptitude test so he could send in his transcripts. It failed because he ended up sleeping in missing the only airship that would take him to the testing grounds. Now he was forced to wait another year before trying. It didn't help when his parents seemed relieved when he missed the flight. He knew they really didn't like that even if he understood why his parents were relieved.

Jaune's dad was a Huntsman and he has told him that being a Huntsman isn't being some fantasy hero who always saves the day. Jaune understood that, he had seen his dad come home more than once with wounds and blood stains on his armor and clothes. Jaune had played it off as a kid as bad dreams but he knew the truth now and he couldn't help understanding his parent's feelings; but that didn't change that he wanted to be a Huntsman. It was just how he was and that wouldn't change just because his parents worried about him. Well that and the fact his parents said if he couldn't be a Huntsman they would still be proud of him. That kind of hurt but he understood what his parents were getting at.

Jaune sighed as he skipped another rock across the river before reaching down to grab another. 'Well there's always next year.' He thought as he picked up the flattest rock he could find before smoothing off some dirt and bounced it in his hand. He turned to the river and pulled his arm back before chucking it across the river and in four long bounces it went right across. Jaune smiled impressed by his throw as the rock flew over the other bank and into a bush. His smile fell a second later as a low growl made its way over the river. He stared across the bank at the bush where his rock had vanished before watching the bush rustle as a large black furry form stood. Jaune's eyes widened in shock as he saw a giant Beowulf rear its head towards him. Its snout had a long gaged crack along its bone mask. Jaune quickly took note of the bone like rib armor around its torso as it spread its arms and growled.

Jaune didn't wait to see what else the Beowulf would do as he sprinted off to get back to the village gates to tell the guards. He wasn't stupid he knew what an Alpha Beowulf looks like and what it means when you see one far too close to a village. Beowulf's were pack like because they were the grunts of the Grimm. His father had always told him that no matter how weak a Grimm is it sticks to a pack for survival. He also told him that if he ever saw a Grimm near the village that meant that there was a pack close by that it was likely to attack the village. Jaune sprinted onto the dirt path leading to the village as he heard a loud howl slowly followed by several more. He felt his stomach drop as the howls went on for several more seconds. He cursed and began to speed up running at full tilt down the dirt road. He knew Grimm weren't smart and he knew more than a few of the Grimm would probably try and swim across the river.

Even if the river was weak and small it would still slow a few of the pack but there would also be those that made their way over the bridge. And when he heard the loud thumps of something hitting the ground behind him proved his thoughts right. He didn't want to look back, he could tell from the sound that the beasts weren't close enough to him to hurt him but if he slowed down even a little he would die. Sprinting on down the path he had only gotten just half way down the path before he saw someone. He cursed as he realized he was leading a pack of Grimm right to them. But he couldn't stop, if he did the village would be at risk. Still he couldn't turn into the forest in hopes of leading the Grimm away from the person in his path. He didn't know if a few would veer off to attack the person, so he could only hope that they would run the moment they saw him.

"RUN!" He shouted as he got closer just as he could see the person in the path as she turned to look at him. It was a woman who looked to be around 18 or 20 with tanned brown skin and long brown hair. Over her shoulders was a long ornate gold chain with blue gems on top of a pure white cloak, baggy black pants with holes in the front that seemed to start from her waist and reaching down to her knee's where the holes stopped. At her ankles, she had golden loops wrapped around them over top of the pants. Jaune noticed though that the woman also had a golden metal waist dress like a belt. He could see that she had more than ample breast and judging from the way the cloak hugged her she was very curvy. She looked beautiful, she almost seemed to shine. Her body seemed to radiate light. Jaune was amazed by her beauty so much so he almost forgot about the Grimm chasing him. If it wasn't for a loud growl that reached his ears he would have tripped over himself at the sight of such a beautiful woman. "Quick we need to run!"

Jaune shouted before coming to the woman reaching out to snag her arm. His hand gripped her cloak and pulled as he tried to run with her. Only his arm went back behind him and he practically flew backwards like he had just grabbed a pole. He turned around to look at the woman to see he had a hold of her cloak pulling it away from her chest to reveal that she was shirtless under the cloak. Jaune felt his jaw drop at the sight of her ample bare breast. He also took note of the black skin-tight sleeves she had on that looked to reach up to her collar seeming to connect over her shoulders under her cloak. But lucky for him, his sight went on to the four Beowulf's just behind the woman. He cursed as he saw how close the beasts were.

"We need to run!" Jaune went to pull the woman again before she simply swatted his arm away and faced the beast.

"As if a Pharaoh would run from some hell beasts!" Jaune stared in shock before the woman raised her left arm which Jaune noticed had a gauntlet on it. But what was far more catching being that a gold and blue staff with a curved question mark looking tip. "Now beast's face your demise!"

The woman flicked her long staff to the side as a giant pillar of light struck the Grimm burning them to death. Jaune just stared in absolute shock at the sight before the woman spun around and aimed her staff at him. He yelped in shock stepping back.

"Wow don't aim that at me!" The woman simply raised a brow at his words before pushing the staff forward making him take another step back. Jaune's eyes dropped to the woman's breast for a second before going lowering to her stomach which had gold plates on the side of it like some sort of armor. Her stomach was smooth and firm. He shook his head as he looked back up to the woman's face. At the moment, he shouldn't be distracted by her body seeing as he knew more Grimm were on their way, but he knew it wouldn't be long before the rest of the pack show up. Though he did get distracted by her eyes this time as they were deep pools of gold that seemed to shine. As mesmerized as he was he needed to focus and thankfully the woman spoke up breaking him from his stupor.

"You? Speak your name. What made you think you could lay a hand on me?!" The woman seemed angry and her questions seemed strange. He figured she probably didn't like being touched. Now though Jaune didn't care as he heard several more howls coming their way. He turned away from the woman looking down the path unable to see anything, but he could tell they were getting close. He turned back to the woman, not wanting to answer her questions, but he saw her kill the Beowulf's with ease so he could tell she was a Huntress.

"Look my name is Jaune Arc and I didn't mean to grab you without permission, but there's a pack of Grimm coming. If you're a Huntress please help kill the pack. If not my village will be attacked and innocent people will be killed." Jaune didn't hesitate to smack the staff away from his face as he stared down the woman. She seemed surprised by his actions before turning to look down the path as the sound of howls and growls came there way. She raised a brow before turning back to him.

"You ask my help after trying to drag me away?" Jaune just cursed at the woman's words not all sure what she was thinking.

"Look I tried to get you out of the path of the Grimm before I knew how strong you were. But after what you just did to the Beowulf's I can see you're strong so please help protect my village." The woman's eyes widened in surprise before she tilts her head to the side as she looked him up and down.

"So, you mean to tell me when you grabbed me you were just trying to pull me away from danger, is that right?" Jaune nodded at her before she looked back down the path. "I see so now you wish me to help you? Seeing as you had first tried to save me when it wasn't necessary, but I see you believe those beasts to be a threat, and for you being worried enough to try and help me I will do you a kindness and destroy the beasts that come this way." The woman paused before catching Jaune with the loop of her staff on his arm pulling him towards her. "But as payment you will serve me from this day on. I, Ozymandias the King of Kings, will destroy your enemies."

Before Jaune could say anything Ozymandias simply threw him back with her staff as she stood her ground smiling as a sight of what looked to be 40 Beowulf's charged down the dirt path and through the tree lines at them. Jaune stared in shock having not expected that many Grimm as he turned to Ozymandias who simply smiled as she held her staff above her head.

"You lightless beasts shall know the wrath of the sun!" Jaune watched her slam the end of her staff into the ground as a large glowing circle formed under the horde of Grimm only for a giant pillar of golden light to shoot up from the circle. It was a blinding light that left Jaune stunned for a second. When he could see again Ozymandias stood before him, her cloak fluttering behind her now where all the Grimm had been being nothing more than a giant burned circle in the path and tree line with nothing left standing. Ozymandias turned around smiling at him as her staff faded away and she put her hand on her hip and held her left hand up flicking her hair behind her ear. "Now Jaune Arc sing praise to your King for she has just saved you and your village!"

Jaune stared dumbfounded by the sight before him and more so by Ozymandias. Ozymandias stood before him her stomach exposed and her breast only slightly covered by her cloak as the sun shines down on her making her feature's glow. He had no idea what to say but sadly his mind could only think of one thing. "Beautiful..." The word came out before Jaune could catch it and he couldn't stop the deep blush that formed on his face as he turned away covering his mouth in embarrassment. "I-I me-mean..."

Jaune couldn't continue as he only heard a laugh come from Ozymandias making him blush more. 'Great now she's laughing at me, great job Jaune.' Jaune thought sadly only for Ozymandias to reach down and lift him to his feet.

"Well one word is very short praise but to call me beautiful is certainly the right thing to say." Ozymandias held him to her side as she smiled. "Now Jaune..." Ozymandias paused when the sound of growling reached her and Jaune's ears. Jaune looked past her to see in the forest as a large group of Ursa and Beowulf's slowly made their way towards them. Ozymandias just sighed before pushing Jaune to the side. "Return to your home. I will deal with these beasts, just come find me later I should be finished with this soon. Be sure not to come till tomorrow though, there seem to be quite a few beasts so if I miss any I'd rather you not be hurt."

Jaune just stared at Ozymandias as she smiled at him. She had a calm about her that almost made him think it would be perfectly fine if he left but he pushed the thought aside as he reached out grabbing her arm.

"I can't just leave you, what sort of man would I be to abandon you. No matter how strong you are or how weak I am I won't just abandon someone." Jaune stared her down before turning to see the Grimm getting closer. He cursed before feeling a hand rest against his. He turned to Ozymandias who just smiled before pushing his hand away from her as she turned back to the Grimm a wide smirk forming on her lips.

"You needn't worry about me. But I thank you for the concern and the show of your courage, but have faith that I shall slay these beasts without prejudice!" Jaune just stared as Ozymandias let her staff return to her hands as she glared down at the Grimm with a cruel smile forming on her face. He wanted to argue but her words stopped him as he took a deep breath and stepped back.

"Alright I will put my faith in you." Jaune had no idea why he was doing what she wanted but something told him that he didn't have to worry. "I will come looking for you tomorrow just make sure you stay on this path or I won't find you." Jaune turned away to leave only to hear Ozymandias chuckle.

"Who do you think you are ordering around." He didn't say anything as the faintest of smiles formed on his lips before he took off running only passing a glance over his shoulder as he saw a pillar of light strike the ground before Ozymandias. He knew that she would be fine, but it didn't stop his worry. He simply did as Ozymandias told him and ran. He ran all the way back to his village to tell them that there may be Grimm coming. It took him 20 minutes but when he got there he told the town guard how he saw some Beowulf's and Ursa but left out the part about Ozymandias. He didn't tell them how many or how bad it was because he knew they would understand the risk of simply seeing a few Grimm so close to a village.

He wasn't surprised when he heard a guard's rifle go off as they turned just in time to see a Beowulf's body begin to fade. The guard quickly pushed him away telling him he did good in telling them and he should go home. He just sighed and did as they said. But he couldn't stop thinking about Ozymandias and if she was ok. He didn't know why he was worried seeing as he knew she had the power to kill the horde of Grimm he saw but he just couldn't help being worried. He left her even if she had told him to he still felt bad about it. But he made sure or at least he thought he made sure to hide that concern. Sadly, he didn't do it well seeing as his mother and sisters all pestered him for what he was worried about.

He tried to play it off but they didn't let it go and he spent some of the night with his little sister Lily. "Come on Jaune what's wrong, you keep looking out the window. What're you looking for?"

Jaune sighed as he turned from looking at the night sky to his little sister who was sprawled out on his bed holding a comic over her head. She had shoulder length light blonde hair. She was dressed in a light green night shirt that was a size too big and sleeping shorts. He stood up from his spot on the window seal and walked over to her before falling on the bed next to her. She shifted moving a little to the side to give him some room as they laid next to each other. He looked over the comic as she moved it so he could see it too.

"Lily can you and the others stop saying I'm worrying. Because I'm not, I'm perfectly fine. Nothing's bothering me." Jaune stretched his hands over his head before wrapping one around her. She rolled her eyes at him simply trying to push away from him but stopped when she couldn't move.

"Come on Jaune, me and everyone else know when you're worried. You have the habit of looking into the distance. Mom calls that your tell." Jaune groaned at this rubbing a hand over his face before giving his sister a hug.

"Yeah well you should just ignore me. What I'm thinking about isn't too important." Lily pushed her elbows into his gut making him wince backing away from her. She smiled before turning over and sprawling herself out over his stomach as she set her comic down on his nightstand. He sighed at her before resting his arms behind his head. She didn't say anything else before standing up and moving to his rooms door.

"I'll ignore you for now but mom says you shouldn't keep things from family so if you're still upset about something tomorrow, talk with us. At least that's what mom says you should do." Jaune tossed a pillow at her which made her step to the side dodge it before sticking her tongue out at him.

"I'm not upset, now go to bed!" Jaune couldn't help smiling at his sister's behavior as she tossed his pillow back to him before waving and closed his door. He turned onto his side and looked out his rooms window again watching the shattered moon slowly raise. He couldn't help but wonder what happened with Ozymandias again before his mind shifted to wondering why she had such a weird name. He chalked that up to him being tired seeing as he just saw what looked like a boat make its way past the moon. 'I must really be tired if I'm seeing things.' He shook his head and turned over again before falling asleep.

Jaune woke up in the morning just as the sun came up. He went through his morning routine before running downstairs to see his mom finishing up making some scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. His mom had long light blonde hair tied back into a bun, some of her bangs hanging down around her face. She was dressed in a pair of grey sweatpants with a t-shirt that said "best mom" on it. Even dressed like she was she still looked surprisingly beautiful. He smiled at the sight of her before snatching himself some toast and bacon.

"I will be back in a few hours mom. Save me some eggs and bacon." Jaune quickly gave his mother a hug and kiss on the cheek before turning and running out of the kitchen to the front door only to stop when his mom shouted at him.

"Be careful! Your father called saying the town guard were warned about some Grimm nearby so don't leave the village! He said he would be on the town walls all day just in case there's a threat!" Jaune paused knowing full well he had to go to the bridge outside the village to find Ozymandias. 'Right I guess it's a good thing I never told her about the Grimm chasing me.' He quickly shook his head before leaning back into the house.

"I'll be careful mom!" He shouted before running out of the house towards the town. It took him 10 minutes before getting to the village. He went through seeing a few guards walking around watching the tree lines around the village. He went through passing by a few stores and a few people talking about how there were Grimm yesterday. He worried about the concern in their voices but when the guards walked by telling as many people as they could to calm down, that the threat was gone and that a Huntsman dealt with the threat. Jaune could only assume that was them talking about his dad. He walked out of the village down towards the river. He made sure no guards saw him. He knew if they did they would stop him. It was probably because the path to the river was outside the village limits.

Lucky for him he was used to walking out when the guards weren't looking. Though it was harder seeing as they were worried about the Grimm, but he still passed through without being seen. Which kind of worried him about how serious they took their jobs. He shook his head figuring the guards were just being lax because his father was there. He made his way down the path outside of the village before coming up to the area he first saw Ozymandias. The path still had burn marks from the crazy beams of light Ozymandias brought down. He had no idea how she did that but he didn't care now. He quickly turned to look around at the burned husks that once were trees. Most where gone but some still stood and the path was certainly just the same as the deep burn lines and circles stood out in the forest path.

Jaune scratched the back of his head at the sight, not sure what he should do. He wondered if he should follow the path of destruction but didn't want to get caught by a stray Grimm even if he believed that Ozymandias had either scared them off or just killed them all. He thought it over for a second before taking a deep breath and mustered the courage to walk into the forest and follow the destruction. That was till something caught his eye past the tree line. It was a small glint of something gold. He looked to where the glint came from before seeing some movement. He chuckled and shook his head. 'Well good thing Ozymandias actually stayed near the path.' He smiled before taking off through the trees towards her. Only the moment he got about half way towards her he realized that it wasn't Ozymandias.

He stopped in his tracks when he got a good look at the person before him. It was a woman who looked to be around 18 years old or maybe 20 just like Ozymandias. Only difference was this woman had light skin and long blonde hair. She was dressed in an incredibly short black shirt with long sleeves that only reached the lip of her breast. The underside of her breast where exposed as was her belly. Along her body though she had red tribal tattoos covering her stomach and the side of her waist. Over the top of her right arm she had a golden gauntlet with a large golden pauldrons over her shoulder. She had a golden bracelet on her left arm. She was dressed in a pair of short shorts that were cut open in front of her thighs but had an x-crossed string holding them together on both legs. Around her waist were golden tassets with a red waist cape. On her legs, she had thigh highs with leg armor that reached just as high.

Jaune was frozen both in surprise and awe. He felt the same thing he did when he saw Ozymandias. The woman before him was beautiful but her beauty wasn't the same as Ozymandias'. This woman had a kind of beauty that seemed to scream power, but what was most striking about her were her deep red eyes. He couldn't help staring at her before she turned around looking away almost like she hadn't seen him. Then he realized he was hidden from her sight by the trees. He shook his surprise off before he took note of something on the ground moving just behind the woman. He leaned forward to see what it was when he saw what looked like some sort of mouth thing with two legs lifting itself from the scorched earth. He noticed quickly that it was a Grimm, one he hadn't seen before. Jaune noticed the woman moving away but the Grimm started to move towards her.

He didn't know what made him move as he quickly sprinted forward towards the woman throwing himself between the Grimm and the woman. "Look out!" Jaune shouted just as he saw the beast jump. He dove forward towards the woman without thinking as he saw the things jaws open, its raptor like legs coming down towards him. He closed his eyes as he felt himself fall back into the woman expecting the Grimm to rip him apart. Only that never happened as he heard what was like a knife cutting through a steak. He heard the woman he was leaned back against huff as her hand fell to his shoulder gripping it tightly. He yelped and his eyes snapped open. He saw the sight of the Grimm fading into nothing as it rested on top of a sword that was just floating in a golden pool of light. He was shocked by this but shook the shock before he looked up to see the blonde woman staring down at him. Her eyes were sharp but not a glare just yet.

Jaune couldn't help impersonating a fish for a second before quickly clearing his throat. "Um, I'm sorry, but are you ok?" The woman simply raised a brow questionably at him.

"You ask if I am ok when you are the one who was in danger? Now tell me what makes you think you have the right to be so close to me!" The woman quickly threw Jaune to the side. He stumbled but caught himself as he turned to the woman. He stood straight and patted his shirt down before looking back to the woman.

"I-I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to fall on you. It's just when I saw that weird Grimm moving towards you I just acted, then I threw myself at you or really between you and the Grimm. I didn't want you to get hurt but I see that was completely pointless. Again, I'm sorry about falling on you."

The woman seemed genuinely surprised by his words as she looked him over and didn't seem impressed at all. She looked back to him tilting her head to the side slightly.

"You're a fool to throw your life away for a stranger. But I must say for you to muster the courage to not only defend me even though you know you are nothing." Jaune couldn't help wilting under her words feeling a little peeved but also understanding what she meant. She did step towards him as she looked him up and down again. "You tried to protect me, so then to give up your life up in hopes of saving mine is the same as giving me your life which means you belong to me." She paused as she chuckled. "Well everything in this world belongs to me already, even the people. You should know just who you belong to, my name is Gilgamesh, I am the King of Heroes. Now speak your name."

Jaune seemed confused by her words, but he shook his head as he looked over Gilgamesh before holding a hand out to her. "Um, my name is Jaune Arc and what..." Jaune didn't get to ask the question he wanted to when he noticed a shadow passing over them. He looked down to see that the shadow was in the shape of a boat. He looked to Gilgamesh to see her looking up to the sky. He followed her gaze to see a long boat with ores reaching out from the side making it look like the ship was swimming through the sky. "Well that isn't something you see every day."

Jaune noticed something moving along the edge of the ship only to watch the ship fade away into nothingness as something fell from it. The next thing he knew Ozymandias landed softly before him and Gilgamesh. She simply smiled at Jaune. "Well then I am glad to see you have returned Jaune, you will make a magnificent servant."

"Servant?" Both Jaune and Gilgamesh spoke at the same time the two sharing a look before turning to Ozymandias.

"Who said he is your servant? He belongs to me, and you have no such claim to him to call him your servant." Gilgamesh grabbed Jaune pulling him to her side while Ozymandias turned to her with a glare, her golden eyes glowing. Jaune yelped when he saw the glare before looking to Gilgamesh to see she had the exact same glare as her red eyes glowed just like Ozymandias'.

"Belongs to you? Please he is my servant and has been my servant. Who are you to speak up against the Pharaoh Ramses II, the King of Kings?!" Ozymandias let her staff form in her hand as she glared at Gilgamesh who simply scoffed at her.

"King of Kings you say, what arrogance! I am the one true King Gilgamesh and you dare take arms against me!" Jaune stared in shock as he saw several golden pools open behind Gilgamesh as swords, spears and axes slowly came out of them all aimed at Ozymandias or Ramses II. Jaune wasn't sure what was going on but he knew it wasn't going to be good.

End

AN/ Well looks like I wanted to waist my time again making a story I didn't have to. This time around I am making a story that really has no story because this is just complete and utter bullshit and for fun. It will be a comedy and it will be updated when I feel like it. Because it won't have plot for a long time and it will just be me messing around with two characters who are and aren't Fate characters because I can.

So do leave a review telling me what you happy little reader people think of the story so far.

Also follow and fav if you wish.
