Jaune Arc a hero wannabee. A hormone-driven teenager of the male kind. A blonde. And has a severe case of motion sickness.

During the airship ride to Beacon Academy, one of the most prestigious Huntsman Schools, Jaune has been doing his best trying to make sure that he won't encounter for a second time the miniscule breakfast he had earlier in the morning. Which is why when the airship docked and the doors opened his first instinct was to find a trash can to expel the contents of his stomach which is being held back by his closed mouth like a dam.

In his rush, he completely overlooked a fellow blonde whose shoes were blessed with Jaune's wretched vomit.

As Jaune Arc expelled his breakfast from his stomach memories hidden from the deepest of his soul flooded in his mind, a memory of his past life, identity, and a conversation with Remnant's most famous twin brothers.

/-/

I was in a white space of nothingness. I had no form. If I focus I can vaguely remember my most recent memory. Flames. Flames all around me, people screaming, cursing me as I looked up unto the sky and gave my everything to my own beliefs.

Who am I?

A name.

What is my name.

What's a name? An Identity.

Jeanne D'arc. Yes, that was my name! I remember!

And my formless self manifested. A humanoid form as white as the space I was floating in.

Then two more humanoid forms took form in front of me.

One had a rather darker color but inside his form bright light brimming with life shone.

And the other had a lighter color for his own form but within is a darker kind of light like death.

"I see that you've remembered who you are. Or were seeing as you have neither gender, currently afloat within the realms of life and death, and that you're a formless entity who once had a human body as a vessel." Said the lighter light

I tilted my head.

The darker light hit the back of the other's head "You forgot to introduce us you dimwit."

As if realizing late the one with the bright light within scratched the back of his head and just said "oops, tehee~"

"Ugh you're so insufferable." The darker light said. "Look. You don't need to know who we are, the only thing I'll tell you is we're brothers and we're pretty damn important." He huffed with pride.

"I'm Vitam he's Mortem." The one with the light explained.

Mortem took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose despite the three of them being faceless. "Look. You, whatever your name is, the god of your world sent you on a quest to hopefully unite your country and help build the foundation of people believing in him."

"And he's kinda guilty for you not having a pretty decent death so he asked us a favor." Vitam said

Mortem continued "That's why congratulations you're given a second chance." All of a sudden Mortem popped a party popper in a spiritless manner while Vitam held a banner that said congratulations.

"It seems that your birth gave the desired effect but you died to early cause' well you know humans and whatnot being pretty much the most unpredictable factor. Ever." Vitam said in an excited tone of voice while the banner that he once held vanished into thin air.

Then the two of them 'fused'. "We're gonna take a gamble. We're interested in seeing how this could change the fate of remnant that seems to be inevitable no matter how much we try to subtly intervene. Fate is a rather uncooperative entity. Just ask your god" The fused form of Vitam and Mortem snickered.

"And with that said, goodbye and may you enjoy remnant and have a much lighter ending than your last life."

Jaune Arc thought that the world was ironic. He loses the content of his breakfast but gained the memories of his past life. His past life as Jeanne d'Arc. Was it also considered irony if his current life his named almost the same as his past life?

Though memories returned he knew who he was. Jaune Arc son of Jonathan and Erica Arc. Both of which are trained Huntsmen and Huntress respectively. Jonathan graduated in Atlas Academy while Erica graduated in Beacon where Jaune plans to enroll. Jaune is also the brother to his 7 sisters. 4 older ones and 3 younger sisters.

Jaune gave an small internal chuckle at trying to remember the antics his sisters got him into, if not pranks or intimidating girls he tried to befriend it always involves shopping or being in skirts and wearing a wig.

He shuddered at the latter memory.

That's one secret I'll be taking to my grave Jaune thought to himself.

Once his breakfast was completely heaved out of his system Jaune stood straight and walked away from the trash can. By the distance he saw a rather noticeable figure of a girl wearing a black and red combat skirt complimented by a red hood falling on a luggage of what seems to be another noticeable girl in a white and sky-blue dress and a combat skirt.

Huh, I wonder if combat skirts are all the rage in fighting nowadays?

Jaune looked at himself to make a quick assessment.

Yup, armor, sword, and a shield. He sighed. Kids these days and there tootin' rootin' contraptions.

He laughed at himself as he noted that he 'died' the last time at the age of 19. 2 years younger than who he is right now.

Jaune heard a sudden explosion which cut him off from his internal thoughts. He looked at where the sound came from and to his surprise the two girls were covered by red smoke that formed a small bit of ice in the air and Jaune wasn't sure if he was hallucinating but he was pretty sure it crackled with electricity too. Plus, there was one more girl near them with a rather monochrome motif to her clothes but she just picked up the bottle of dust, gave it back to the soothe-snow girl, said a few words and left. The other two exchanged words as well and the girl clad in white left with some people carrying her luggage.

The red girl slumped on the ground and lied down with a sad flump in her body.

Before Jaune could think. His instincts kicked in and approached the girl

"Welcome to Beacon." The girl sighed.

Jaune's shadow loomed over the girl and she opened her eyes. Silver met blue.

"Hey, I'm Jaune." He offered a hand and gave a sympathetic smile at her.

Her eyes looked away for a moment "Ruby" the smiled back and accepted the offer.

When Jaune pulled her up he got a closer look at Ruby's eyes and was surprised at how beautiful they are.

He was mesmerized.

"Aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?" And the mesmerizing moment came to a rather abrupt halt at Ruby's question.

/-/

Ruby and Jaune was walking around Beacon's outdoor courtyard.

"Look, all I'm saying is that motion sickness is a pretty common thing. It's just rare for people because those who have it actually avoid vehicles." Jaune explained

"Look, I'm sorry but Vomit boy was the first thing that came to mind" Ruby replied.

Jaune smirked. "Oh yeah? Then Crater face was the first thing that came to my mind then." He crossed his arms and leaned towards Ruby to show how smug he is for the new nickname she gave her.

"That explosion was an accident!" she stomped her boot.

"Well the name's Jaune Arc." He pointed at himself. "I'd say something next but I doubt I have the confidence to say it."

"Say what?"

He sighed. "Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue. Ladies love it!" Jaune then gave the best pimp smile impression he could give, all it needs was that sparkle thing appearing on his exposed teeth like those in cartoons.

"Do they?" Ruby asked.

"not the point. And I have no idea." Jaune sighed again.

If it's not his sisters his parents would give the worst advice that would've worked in their time but wouldn't in his. Well its true about confidence being one of the things women would look for in a man but Jaune, seeing as how he was once a woman, (shudders) doesn't believe that confidence is all that mattered.

"Sooo… I have this thing"

Before Jaune could react to what Ruby said out of nowhere mechanical sounds were heard and a large scythe appeared and was stabbed into the ground by Ruby, the scythe had the same color scheme as her clothes and her name.

Jaune's mind was in overdrive as to what to ask first. Mainly;

1. Where the heck did you pull that out from?

2. IS THAT A SCYTHE?

"Whoa! Is that a scythe?!" And he chose number 2.

"Crescent rose is also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle" She said with glee as she held her weapon closer to her

"A wha?" Jaune clearly dumbfounded

"It's also a gun" she cocked the chamber back to make a point.

"So, what do you have?"

Jaune grinned and pulled his weapon out "This here's Crocea Mors obviously it a sword" he attached the scabbard to his forearm. "And a shield too."

"So, what do they do?" Ruby asked.

Jaune retracted his shield and turned it into back a scabbard. "It can turn back into a scabbard so it's more comfortable to carry. Not lighter but more comfortable" He smiled.

"Oh, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons so I guess I did get a little bit overboard in designing it." Ruby explained as her hand felt the body of her beloved weapon.

"Wait, you made that?!" Surprise clearly in the blonde knight's voice

"Of course! All students in Signal get to forge their own weapons. Didn't you make yours?"

Jaune grinned. "Sadly no, but its passed down from my family. My great great grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune exclaimed with a prideful puff of his chest his and lips grinning from ear to ear.

"Sounds like a family heirloom to me."

"Hey!" Jaune shouted.

"But I like it. Not everyone has a taste for the classics these days."

Jaune let out a chuckle "You'd be surprised at what Crocea Mors can do."

Ruby retracted her scythe into its gun form and put it behind her waist.

Oh. THAT'S where she got her weapon from. The cloak must've hidden it from view. I think?

As they resumed walking Ruby decided to ask "So, why'd you help me back there? In the Courtyard?"

"What kind of man would I be if I don't help a pretty girl who's down in the dust dumps?" Jaune stared straight into Ruby's eyes and gave her a toothy grin before Jaune could notice her flustered cheeks he returned his view to look at the path their walking on. "And besides, my mother always said; 'strangers are just friends you haven't met yet.' "

"Hm. Hey where are we going?" Ruby asked.

Jaune gave an innocent cat smile. "I dunno' I was following you. Ya' think there's a food court around? Or maybe some landmark to find our destination?"

Ruby gave a small snort.

"I'm guessing that's a no then huh?"

"That's a no indeed."

/-/

Once Jaune and Ruby entered the auditorium a rather buxom blonde called out to his female companion stating that she saved a seat for her. With Ruby saying her farewell Jaune just gave a smile and a nod at return waving at her as she walked backwards towards the blonde while waving at Jaune as well, before Jaune would leave he gave the female blonde a smile and a nod as well. Before blending within the crowd only to be ejected outside of the said crowd.

He sighed and decided to just lie back on the wall waiting for whatever happens, unbeknownst to him there were two people who were quietly observing him. One was a red-haired girl with green irises and another a black-haired girl with a bow on her head and amber eyes. Both curious and confused about the way Jaune carried himself. At one point when he walked the lack of confidence showed in his form. But the moment he decided to stop and stand still his back was straight and his shoulders as broad as can be. His chin was up having his head face forward arms crossed all the while maintaining a perfect straight form. The inconsistency he showed confused the two females.

Jaune being oblivious by the stares and unconscious about the habits that came from his past life, there were more pressing matter he must face.

He knew there was a Goliath in the room that needed to be brought up. His transcripts were fake. At least the recommendation stated that he was experienced enough to combat grimm and is legible to be trained which by all accounts he is, seeing as he had 2 years to fight in a war in his past life despite his body not being fully trained yet he was still guilty about the transcripts he gave the school.

"-Boys like tall, blonde and scraggly over there." Jaune heard that and looked at the direction of Ruby, the buxom femme fatale and the white snow girl who was pointing at him. "Hm?" He didn't pay attention to their conversation and before he could speak out regarding the insult someone tapped into the microphone to create a tapping sound from the speakers that took the attention of all the students in the room.

/-Insert Ozpin's speech and Glynda's blah blah-/

Jaune approached the trio and tapped the white girl's shoulder.

She faced him with a frown on her face. "What?"

He offered his palm towards her "I couldn't help but hear you talking about me, if I may. May I inquire your name?"

She rolled her eyes and put her palm on his "Weiss Schnee. Heir to the Schnee Dust Company." She gave a cold look towards Jaune. "I see." Jaune's lips touched the knuckle of Weiss' hand Ruby and the other blonde clearly surprised at the sudden exchange between them "Jaune Arc. But you can call me Jaune."

"Well at least someone has manners." Weiss pulled her hand back.

"Unlike you." Jaune said nonchalantly.

"Excuse me?!" Weiss shouted. Ruby's eyes widened and so did the other blonde.

Jaune smirked. "Yeah I kinda' heard how you insulted me right in front of my face. Not really a thing someone with manners would do."

Weiss merely stuttered. But Jaune continued. "And one more thing, before you'd say anything about someone make sure you know everything about that person. You don't know me, you don't have the right to judge me." Jaune turned around and walked away. Intent on preparing himself to sleep into the night.

Nighttime came and dinner has ended. Jaune was confidently strutting towards his sleeping area while wearing his light blue rabbit onesies. In contrast to the topless clothing of the same gender species around him trying to flex themselves and show off to the girls.

I love how comfortable these are.

He chuckled and took out a comic book from his bag and looked around for a lightsource where he can read it. And he found it. A small table with a lit candle on top. And a girl reading a book beside it. He approached the girl.

"Excuse me." He said.

The black-haired girl with a ribbon on top of her head stared at Jaune, his blue eyes met her amber ones that seemed to glow in this night. She was wearing a Mistralian yukata as her pajamas which exposed her creamy white legs.

"Yeah?" she replied and looked at his hand that carried a comic book.

"Hi, name's Jaune. Jaune Arc. Was gonna ask if you don't mind if I sit by the other side of the table so I can read." He scratched the back of his head and gave a sheepish smile.

"Blake Beladonna. And please, by all means."

"Thanks." He grinned, Blake nodded in return

A few silent moments passed and their peace was interrupted by muffled growls of a young girl in a black tank-top and polkadotted pajamas being pulled by a blonde in a yellow tank top that exposed her midriff and shorts that were able to emphasize her juicy behind.

Stop it! Why must you be driven by hormones.

"Helloooooo" The buxom blonde greeted and waved.

Jaune and Blake both put their literature down and stared at each other, sending the same mental message.

I think she's calling you.

No you.

I don't think its me.

Only one way to find out then.

They both looked at the female blonde at the same time.

"ooookay that was weird." She said. Obvious to the readers that Yang did not know the one thing bookworms shared. They didn't want to be disturbed when reading. Jaune knew seeing as he's a avid reader of comic books and 2 of his sisters are heavy bookworms. Monty knows how much he's gotten bruised over pranking them while reading.

"I believe you two." She pointed at Jaune and Blake "Know each other?" then pointed at Ruby, clearly feeling uncomfortable.

Jaune closed his comic and sighed. "Hey Ruby." He gave a small smile.

"Hey Jaune."

"Aren't you the girl that exploded?" Blake asked.

Jaune tried to hold back his laughter. Emphasize on tried. "Pfffft…" and began laughing.

"Jaune!" She pouted and Jaune apologized. She reached a hand for a handshake "So yeah, My name is Ruby." but Blake returned to her book already. She scratched the back of her head. Jaune grinned. "I call her crater-face." He whispered to Blake. Blake looked at him for a moment and raised a brow and chuckled.

"Shut up Vomit-boy!" This time the female blonde laughed and the Jaune's eyes narrowed. "But you can just call me Ruby." She continued.

The two whispered to each other.

The blonde asked for Blake's name which she replied with one word. "Blake." And The blonde female introduced herself and complimented Blake about her bow going well with her pajamas. Jaune stood up hoping to break the ice.

"Hi, Yang. The name's Jaune. Jaune Arc." Jaune offered his hand which Yang shook with a firm grip in which Jaune returned the squeeze earning a grin from Yang.

"Not bad lover-boy. Nice onesie."

"Thanks, I gotta say though." Jaune's leaned and tilt his head to the side. "You've got a really beautiful hair."

"oooh, mama likes." Yang grinned at Jaune who just blushed after realizing what he said meant and what she said meant.

"ew Yang!" Ruby pushed her sister aside. "Sorry about that." And scratched the back of her head. She looked past Jaune and stared at Blake to ask about her book. Blake explained it's about a man with two souls, which caused Ruby to talk about what being a huntsman is about.

Jaune was surprised at how mature Ruby actually was despite her age. Until she got tackled by Yang and the two went on to playfight. In which both blake and Jaune chuckled to themselves.

Jaune noticed Weiss coming towards their direction. Her collarbone deliciously exposed, tempting anyone to have a bite. Or her alabaster thighs unblemished and perfect. The best part was Weiss is akin to a mountain flower. One that unachievable and would have you dying of hypothermia before you can ever reach her.

Jaune waved Blake a goodbye and said goodnight to the three of them. Intent on wanting to avoid Weiss was obvious to Yang and Ruby.

"It was nice to meet you Yang." He smiled before walking away.

"You too Jaune!"

Hi guys! Shaniic here with a new story. Its just a 2 or 3 -part oneshot I plan to do regarding Jaune Arc and what if he used to be Jeanne d'Arc in another world in another life. I didn't want any complication so I decided to just improve Jaune's character via being a girl in the past and a well-known knight. Maybe the changes are to subtle or to bland but I am up for review and improvement. Who knows I may make this into a full-series if ever.

And regardgin Grimm Within, its still at work since I fail to finish it and I've been having bouts of Panic Attacks due to the upcoming board exam but hopefully I can recover.

Anyway Vote, and review please. :D

Until we meet again everyone
