Hey guys, it's me, Shira, AKA the one who wrote this story. I know, I know, it's been a while since I updated this story and while I could bullshit you with an excuse about why I haven't updated…I'll just be blunt about it. I'm stopping. That's it.

Now, I'm sure Sagisitc said this in one of his chapters, but I'm not as passionate as he is when it comes to writing. Unlike him, it was just something I thought I could do to pass the time. I didn't have high expectations for my stories, and never really put my all into it. So I'll just say this one more time.

THIS STORY IS DISCONTINUED

Sorry to say this, but with my schoolwork picking up, along with work and my social life, I just don't want to devote time to write a story that I'm not really putting much effort into. However, that doesn't mean that I'm going to leave you on an empty note. Just in case someone, or Sagistic, would like to take on this story, I'm going to leave a few ramblings concerning certain parts about the story.

҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯Characters¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

So what I was going to do with the characters was mix a few of them with some characters from the Dishonored Series. Not all of them mind you, thus I decided to add more OC's do I don't have to make certain people OOC. Starting with…

-Salem-

Now this was a given. Since we, as a Fandom, don't know too much about Salem, I decided that it wouldn't be so bad to make her OOC. With that in mind, I figured that making her like the Outsider wouldn't be anything bad. And since she was mostly treated as a side character, despite being the main antagonist, it wouldn't be any different. She would, like The Outsider, communicate with people who she considers interesting and give them a little 'guidance'.

Salem would have access to some of her powers as the Outsider, however doing so used up a lot of energy, so he could completely act like the Outsider. Because of that, she recreated a few abilities she had with the Grimm, like the jelly-fish thing, that allowed her similar concepts. And unlike her canon, my Salem simply wanted to go back to the Dishonored world, so she tried to get the world to kill her off before eventually choosing one single person.

Also, since I always gotten the vibe that Salem doesn't give care in the world about who knows about her, she wouldn't be scared to bring in more people that work with someone like Jaune or Cinder. So eventually, Jaune's Team would learn of Salem and how Jaune is connected to her.

-Jaune/The Grimm Walker-

Since Jaune obviously the protagonist, I thought to make him more an anti-hero than anything else, someone who did everything for himself or his family. Sure, he went against the White Fang and would eventually cross paths with Cinder, but it was more so because they were getting in the way or hindering him. While Jaune did care for humanity, since he was going after Salem, he didn't join Beacon to be a hero like his canon self, but more so because it would help him train against the Grimm and Salem. This would lead to him having a few clashes with his own team as well as the higher-ups at Beacon.

In a way, it's basically how I figured Raven went through things when she attended Beacon. Going only because it would help her tribe to survive before she started to do her own thing. However, unlike her, Jaune would be able to convince his team to join him.

In addition, Jaune would also have to deal with issues outside of Beacon due to him having taken on another persona that the public would call The Grimm Walker…get it? Cause in the game anyone marked were sometimes called Void Walkers? No? Alright then moving on. The Grimm Walker was essentially how Jaune would be able to work outside of Beacon, allowing him to make mistakes he couldn't if he did it as a student (Being seen or harming people).

Jaune's identities would've been identified by a few things: how Jaune was dressed, what gadgets he had and what powers he used. While he was attending Beacon, he would be dressed like Corvo from Dishonored 2, sans the mask, used the more destructive gadgets like grenades and Spring Razors and used the powers that made him look more of wraith (Blink, Wind Blast, etc.). When he was the 'Grimm Walker', he would be dressed like Corvo from the first Dishonored with the mask, used the more non-lethal gadgets like sleep darts and stun mines as well as using Grimm-like powers (Far Reach, Shadow Walk, etc.).

That didn't mean that's what he was restricted to, just what he was focused on using so he can differentiate his persona. He would use Doppelgänger in both forms as well as Dark Vision and Domino and use a grenade or stun mine if he couldn't use anything else.

And since so much focuses on Jaune, he would interact with a lot more of the 'villains' as well as the 'heroes'. From Salem's side people like Watts would have been his source for lethal upgrades while someone like Port would teach him non-lethal techniques. That doesn't include his family since I didn't consider them to be heroes or villains, just Jaune's family. Speaking of which…

-Jaune's Family-

To keep word count down, I'm just going to group Jaune's family members together. Now to be honest, I wanted to make sure his family was kept in the neutral side of things and only got involved because Jaune did. They were also going to have a few tie-ins with Weiss' family besides being a competitor in the Dust market.

Noir, the one I made the leader of the Black Market, would've looked like a major player but was in fact was only doing everything for business. If she did get involved with the story, it would've been because Jaune asked her to or because she felt that it would hurt the rest of her family.

Blanc, Noir's Twin, essentially did the same however, unlike Noir, Blanc would handle situations differently, due to not having a criminal underworld at her beck and call. She would handle things top-side (Business records, deals, etc.) while Noir handled the under-side (Criminal activity). Aside from those two, I wanted to eventually introduce the other members of his family, primarily his oldest sister, Rouge(Red), his twin, Or(Gold), and his mother.

Rouge would've been a former Huntress-in-Training that never finished Beacon and is suffering PTSD due to witnessing both her father and half her team dying on a mission, *Cough*Mountain Glenn*Cough*. Due to this she would often try to get Jaune to quit being a Huntsman-in-Training, but ultimately fail each time. She was also going to have a tie-in with Winter, being the Schnee's partner when they were in Beacon before Rouge dropped out.

Or(Gold) would've been the Piero/Jindosh of the story, supplying certain Dust upgrades or new gadgets to Jaune while being an unrivaled prodigy when it came to technical and mechanical issues. She wouldn't have a big role but would often be mentioned by Jaune whenever someone asked about his weapons and or gear. She would've also met Salem, who gave her ideas over the years, leading to her prodigy status.

Jaune's mother had a similar role to Salem, mainly being there to give Jaune some guidance. This was mainly because she would be running Jaune's family's equivalent to SDC, D'ARC or Dust: Arc's Reserve Company…I know stupid name.

-Jaune's Team-

Like his family, I wanted to give a brief overview of Team Jabberwock (JBRW) so I can keep word count low. So first, if you didn't notice, I just replaced Yang and Jaune on the teams. This was because, Jaune was essentially taking Yang's place on Team Ruby, but he was going to be the main focus and not be a supporting character for the first three Volumes. I know some might argue that, but every time I've watched the first three Volumes, Yang didn't really do much except when it came to fights and setting Blake straight.

I swear, a lot of people make Jaune a decent character and the main focus but when they follow Canon, they just make him a side character while Team RWBY does everything else. Jaune is just there for moral support than anything else and is dragged into the story again. This isn't all stories, but I've seen this happen enough that it was getting to me as a reader. I wanted to make it so that Jaune was the one dragging people in, that included his teammates.

As for said teammates, they would've been the support characters and wouldn't have really changed to much except for not being included in everything. Ruby would be the second-in-command, due to her being a team leader in Canon. Blake would still investigate the White Fang, but would also look into why The Grimm Walker was interested in them as well. Weiss…well, she's just there, mainly because that's how she was in the show.

Not to say I hate Weiss, or any of the characters really, but aside from her family issues and position as Heiress, she really didn't have anything to do with the White Fang. Because of that, and how most of the other characters were never really given a spotlight, it would've been hard to include her. Though, I would've tried, if anything, making her and Jaune clash over family names, pride and other things.

Aside from that, Jaune's team would also be fighting against Jaune when he was The Grimm Walker, and conveniently be doing jobs with Roman and Neo. This would mainly be because he didn't want them to get hurt or interfere in something he knew was didn't concern them.

-Ren's Team-

Honestly? I never planned for Team Lynx (LNNX) to have any major role in the story, similar to other teams. With Jaune being more competent, I felt that it would've been an injustice to write the whole 'Transcripts Incident' and place it on someone else. Hell, just making a plot to include Cardin as an antagonist just felt…wasteful. It's kind of shameful that I couldn't really think of a way to use Team Lynx, but again, Jaune is my main focus.

-Ozpin-

Now here is where things get interesting. You see, I wanted Jaune and Ozpin to be at odd with each other from the get-go. Now, I could've made the issue just be petty, like Ozpin being the reason Jaune lost his dad and why Rouge has PTSD, but I decided that Jaune would be cautious of him because of his ties to Salem. With the 'God' giving Jaune guidance over the years, it would make sense that she would also influence his view on people like Ozpin. This is why I put Heroes and Villains in air quotes, Jaune doesn't really see that separation that someone like Ruby would.

To Jaune, everyone outside his family are considered villains to him, so that would make him weary of practically everyone at first, even his team. This in turn would catch Ozpin's attention and result in Jaune being as secretive as he could while Ozpin did his best to find out more about Jaune. What's more, Jaune's alternate persona would also catch Ozpin's attention and lead to The Grimm Walker's attempted capture.

-Beacon's Staff-

This is just to encompass Goodwitch, Oobleck and Port together. And to keep things quick: Goodwitch would join Ozpin and become suspicious of Jaune, mainly due to Noir's position as Head of the Black Market. She wouldn't outright antagonize Jaune, but be watching his every move in case he did something dangerous. Oobleck and Port would have been old friends with Jaune's father and, as a result, would welcome Jaune warmly. This would also lead to them sharing what they could if Jaune asked them anything.

-General Ironwood-

General Ironwood wouldn't have any direct confrontation with Jaune. In fact the only way he and Jaune would be at odd would be because of Noir. In the show, Ironwood basically made it so that he and his army were in charge of security in Vale and Beacon. Since Noir is technically against authority, more by business than anything else, she would start causing trouble for any Atlas soldier that tried to stop her operations.

A few shots fired, some people badly hurt and miscommunication would result in Noir and Ironwood butting heads, while Jaune would offer assistance to Noir as The Grimm Walker. This would lead to Ironwood wanting to get The Grimm Walker, since he would be the source of many problems, not to mention that Ozpin has his eye on him.

-Qrow and Raven-

Now why am I grouping these two together? Simply, they both want to convince Jaune to join them. However, while they would see Jaune using similar powers, it would be The Grimm Walker that they would want since he would have the more Grimm-like abilities.

Both of them would know of the mark on The Grimm Walker's hand, since Raven has a similar but not exact copy, and seeing how well he used his powers, would make them realize how valuable Jaune would be if he helped them out. Obviously Raven would simply want him so her tribe could continue on. Why have one marked person when you can have two?

Qrow would want Jaune to join Ozpin's Group, as someone who could replace his sister. Of course, with Ozpin's attention on The Grimm Walker, he would approve while Ironwood would be against it, mainly because of how The Grimm Walker has cause him problems. Goodwitch wouldn't have an opinion until after she met The Grimm Walker personally.

And just to make this less of a problem, the two wouldn't try to go after Jaune until near the end of the story, during Vol. 3.

-White Fang-

Now, you would think that the White Fang would be a major play with how Jaune was attacking their operations, but sadly no…they're not. The White Fang issue would mainly have to deal with Noir's group, mainly Roman and Neo who would be working with the group on occasion. It wouldn't be until Blake started to put her attention on them that Jaune would actively go after them outside of his role as The Grimm Walker.

Since they wouldn't be a major issue for Jaune, I thought I should at least create a group that could provide some conflict with the White Fang, which birthed the creation of my own faction…

-Howlers-

Now like I said, this was created purely to give the White Fang an enemy faction. Why? Because I believe that Blake is not the only one in all of RWBY that is strongly against what the White Fang has become. Sure, Volume 5 proved that with Ghira and a few others, but about before? As such, the Howlers were essentially another faction full of people like Blake. Faunus who were once part of the White Fang but left after it began to militarize itself.

They're main purpose was to oppose the White Fang, doing what they could in stopping the once peaceful group from doing more harm against humans. They would mainly be positioned outside the kingdoms as well, providing protection to settlements too far away. This faction would also have a few humans within their ranks that would show that humans and Faunus could work together.

Jaune's family would have close ties to this faction, being one of the reason's it was originally formed. As such, many of the higher-up members would know of Jaune and his alternate persona. Despite all this, the Howlers would've been tied to anything concerning Noir. So, who is Jaune supposed to go up against as an antagonist? Well…

-Cinder and Co.-

Here is where Jaune's main focus would be. You may be asking, why? Well it's simple, Cinder, like Jaune and Raven, is marked by Salem. This would give her powers like Jaune, resulting in Jaune trying to seek her out as The Grimm Walker. Since Cinder didn't technically reveal herself until the end of Vol. 1, The Grimm Walker wouldn't know who she is. As a result, the interaction between two will be minimal; only really happening when the two crossing paths when they happen to share a similar objective.

Eventually, Jaune would find out who Cinder really is thanks to Noir and learn how she was working against Jaune and his family. Of course, the two will eventually start to clash but it will be after Jaune notices what Cinder's willing to do to get to her objective. This would cause Jaune to do his best to stop her whenever he could, often times resulting in the two using their powers to trades blows.

Aside from Cinder, Emerald and Mercury would mostly be annoyances to Jaune due to him using his powers to counteract whatever they do (Emerald's illusions are useless against Jaune's Dark Vision. Mercury is caught by Mesmerize or Doppelgänger.)

A side note: I did consider Cinder as an option when it came to parings, the others being Blake, Weiss or Neo.

҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯Gadgets and Powers¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Not much to say here. Back in chapter 1, I put up a list of everything I wanted to use from Dishonored. Obviously Jaune wouldn't be getting everything, but he would have a decent armory of weapons, gadgets and powers to use. Over the course of the story, Jaune would upgrade his things but he still wouldn't have everything.

Can't say much here except for the fact that Jaune would've received his upgrades either from his twin or from Watts. One of them would focus on Non-lethal while the other would be Lethal.

Another thing I would've taken are all the traps and things that are used in the games; mainly Clockwork Soldiers and Tall Boys.

҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯Plot¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Okay so there wasn't much when it came to the plot. Sagistic told me that that when it comes to Fanfiction, most writers will use the Canon plot as a base for their own. They'll follow certain points of the story up to a point before they break off and do their own thing. When it comes to mine, I'm not different. Under everything I did, and all the things I added, it was still RWBY's plot that I was following.

The only difference is that Jaune would be doing EVERTHING. Aside from a few character specific things like Ruby's early enrollment or Blake leaving the Team, Jaune would be the one to either be involved or cause everything that happens in the plot. This is why I redid Ruby and Blake's trailers and added Jaune to them. But like I said up above, I wanted this fic to focus on what Jaune did and what better way, aside from making an original plot, than to just replace the main characters with only him? Don't answer that…ever.

Anyway, I'll just pick up from the last chapter and give you a quick overview of the rest of the plot. Keep in mind, this was supposed to take place over the first three volumes. Alright, so…

(Arc 1: Team Squabbles)

After initiation, things would go like they normally would in Canon, Team Jabberwock would get to know each other, classes happened and the four butt heads over certain topics. However, unlike in Canon, where Ruby and Weiss talk with a staff member and change their ways and the team bonds, Jaune doesn't do much about this, figuring that everything would resolve itself eventually. The lack of interaction from Jaune leads to the others slightly hating each other.

Jaune distances himself because his and Weiss' ideal often clash, Weiss hates that she's not team leader and Jaune's inaction as one, Ruby is slightly sad that the team isn't bonding and Blake is indifferent about the whole thing, further saddening Ruby and angering Weiss. The professors would often give their input, bringing the team close, but Jaune's lack of action keeps everyone apart.

This would continue for about a month, in which Cardin and his team begin to mock Team Jabberwock about their lack of teamwork and the members as individuals. Team Jabberwock decided to ignore them in favor of knocking them around during Goodwitch's classes. Despite that, it would be clear that the four of them aren't working well together, even more when Team Cardinal easily defeats them despite their own lack of teamwork.

After this revelation, Weiss heads to Ozpin and asks that she be made team leader. Ozpin however denies her request and tells her why, resulting in Weiss thinking over her actions. Once the team gathers for the day, Weiss tried to mend things with Jaune, but is quick to Weiss snap at Jaune, causing him to leave and head to Noir.

The team breaks up even more due to Jaune spending most of his free time doing his thing or doing jobs for Noir as The Grimm Walker. The latter action causes his reputation to grow to a point where even Beacon is talking about his alternate persona. This however, ends up fracturing his team more as he and Weiss clash over The Grimm Walker's motives and actions. After being unknowingly criticized by Weiss, Jaune's anger reaching its breaking point, causing him to use his powers to destroy his gun and crossbow. This causes the rest of the team to fear Jaune slightly, forcing the blonde to make the team take some time away from each other.

After explaining everything to Goodwitch and Ozpin, Jaune is given some time away and uses it to do some more jobs of Noir. This time, he manages to cross paths with Cinder, who is dressed like in 'Dance, Dance, Infiltration', and tries to question her after he managed to catch her. Cinder manages to escape, leaving Jaune even angrier than before. Eventually, Noir would notice Jaune's increased hostility and stress and decides to have a talk with him about it. Jaune would explain everything before spending a night doing jobs with Noir herself, where she explains the concepts of having a team.

This would calm Jaune down and let him understand what his position means. The next day, Noir forces Jaune to spend time with his team where they, once again, butt heads when it came to Weiss' attitude. However, before things could repeat, the four of them find themselves talking to someone; Jaune talks with Port, Weiss with Ozpin, Ruby with Goodwitch and Blake with Oobleck.

The four of them meet up once again and take a second to look at each other before Jaune apologizes for not being a team leader. From there, the others apologize for their own reasons before agreeing to sit down and talk with one another. This leads to Jaune explaining that he always tended to do things by himself and how when conflicts like this came up with his family, they usually sorted themselves out.

Weiss would explain a bit about her family and life style, Ruby would tell everyone her naïve expectations for the team and Blake would mostly repeat what Jaune said, leaving out her ties with the White Fang. Once everything was sorted, the four would agree to try and act like a team, assigning titles and position to themselves in order to stay organized. Jaune was the leader and strategist, Ruby was second in command and weapons maintenance, Weiss was the intel management and Blake was their 'spymaster' and intel-gatherer.

Once everything's set, the team would slowly bond together, each member easily fitting into their positions. This is shown when the team manages to work together to beat other first-year teams during Goodwitch's class. This Arc was mainly created to replace the one about Jaune and his transcripts, using a few characters, like Cardin, but focusing more on Team JBRW.

(Arc 2: A New Threat?)

This Arc isn't really too different from Canon…well, the direction isn't. Let me explain. With Team Jabberwock slowly bonding together, they decided to start spending more time with one another outside of classes. This leads Jaune to taking them into Vale where they run into Noir, Blanc and their old teammates, Ebony and Ivory Hardwood…another set of twins. Introducing everyone to each other, the eight of them decided to spend time with one another before they're interrupted by a White Fang attack near the docks. Yes, I'm talking about that dust shop.

With help from Team Henna (HENA), named after a dye from a plant called Henna, they managed to stop the White Fang. After they're done, Weiss starts to talk about the White Fang, but is quickly cut off by Ebony and Ivory, who are both Faunus and were once members before Beacon. Dropping the issue, the eight head to the docks when they realize a ship from Vacuo is arriving. Sun tries to make a break for it but is caught by the older team without much hassle.

With their time together ruined by the White Fang attack, the two teams decided to separate, Team Jabberwock heading back to Beacon while Team Henna separates to go back to work, with Blanc and Ivory handing Sun over to Beacon. Anyway, once Team Jabberwock gets back to Beacon, Weiss voices her concerns about the White Fang, leading her and Blake to fight.

Blake reveals her heritage and past with the White Fang and runs away, while Jaune stops both Ruby and Weiss from following. Instead, Jaune sends a message to Noir, asking if she could keep an eye out for Blake while he talks with Weiss and Ruby. The next day, Jaune heads back to Vale to meet Noir while Ruby and Weiss look for Blake. Once Jaune meets with Noir, he finds out that Ebony found Blake and invited her to spend the night.

Meeting up with Blake again, Jaune explains that he knew about her being a Faunus but kept quiet. He would then tell Blake about what he and Weiss talked about before saying that Weiss was looking for her. Blake accepts but stays, saying that she wanted to find out about the crimes involving the White Fang. Unfortunately, Noir tells them to forget about it, getting Ebony agree when Blake tries to be stubborn.

Calling Weiss and Ruby to pick up Blake, Jaune has Ebony take Blake somewhere else before he and Noir talk about the White Fang. Noir would let Jaune know about problems that Roman and Neo started to face because someone hired them to work with the White Fang. This will cause Jaune to offer his help, joining a group of fighters (The Howlers), hired by Noir, in a steak-out near the docks.

Instead of Blake and Sun going against Roman at the docks, it would be a small battle of White Fang members going against Howlers with Roman and Jaune supporting the latter. The commotion caused by the battle would catch the rest of Jaune's team's attention and lead to them joining in the fight near the end. Jaune would be forced to confront them after Blake notices him, as The Grimm Walker, fighting but would join Roman in escaping.

Once Jaune and Roman manage to retreat to a warehouse, the two are greeted by Emerald, Mercury, Cinder and Noir. Cinder threatens Roman, and by extension Noir and Jaune before leaving. After settles down, Noir calls Jaune and tells him how the Kingdom of Vale was under attack and how it would likely fall to the Arc Family to stop it.

(Arc 3: Investigations)

This Arc starts off on a dark note when Jaune, who has grown to trust his team more, decides that it would be time to let them in on his connections to the Black Market. On their way, the team notices a bookstore is being surrounded by police and decide to investigate. This leads them to finding out that the owner was murdered, before they run into Ebony. The Faunus tells them that she and Noir knew the owner and made a deal with each other and that the White Fang is the culprit.

After this, Jaune tells Ebony that he's ready to properly introduce his team to Noir. The Faunus then leads Team Jabberwock through Vale before leading them to a large warehouse. Jaune's team would be confused about what was happening before they see Roman and Neo talking with Noir. Getting their weapons ready, Jaune and Noir fill the girls in on the Black Market.

The reveal to the Black Market would simply be this: Weiss would be appalled by the idea due to living in Atlas, Ruby would find it amazing after hearing around the Black Market from her Uncle Qrow and Blake would be indifferent, having had previous dealings after she left the White Fang. After that, Noir would let some information slip Jaune would reveal how he is The Grimm Walker and had gone after the White Fang

This would cause a few different reactions from the team members: Weiss would be slightly afraid because of how easily she saw The Grimm Walker was able to kill some White Fang members, Ruby would be surprised and ecstatic to know find out how strong Jaune is and Blake would bee the same, if only a bit calmer about it. Though a bit hesitant, the rest of Jaune's team would accept the fact that Jaune is technically in league with a network of criminals and agree to help out if they could.

To get them introduced a bit more, Noir and Jaune would have Roman give the girls a quick rundown of how the Black-Market works, yadda, yadda, yadda. While this is happening, Noir asks if Jaune could do some more jobs for her since Atlas' arrival is making it a bit hard for the Black Market to do some jobs. The Grimm Walker starts to work again, causing problems for Atlas after a few jobs involve sabotaging their outposts around Vale.

After doing a few jobs, Team Jabberwock asks Noir if they could help look into the bookstore owner's murder but are rejected. When asking why, Noir tells Jaune that this kind of job is too dangerous for him and his team, and how it could easily lead to their deaths. Jaune surprises Noir by accepting the rejection before leading his team away. Once the team gets back to Beacon, Jaune would reveal that he was going to look into the murder himself.

Just like in the show, the team meets up and discusses what they're going to do. Jaune and Ruby would visit one of Noir's contacts for information before looking over the crime scene, Weiss would get any info that might relate the killings to dust robberies before switching with Jaune to look over the information while Blake would scout out a potential White Fang Rally before meeting up with Jaune and joining. Unfortunately, since Sun didn't help last time, he's not going to this time.

While at the White Fang Rally, instead of Roman presenting the mechs, it's actually Adam and his new partner (Insert OC). While there, the two spot Jaune and Blake within the crowd and a fight breaks out when members of the Howlers begin to attack. Roman also appears and manages to destroy and steal most of the mechs. Unfortunately, Adam's new partner goes after Jaune and Blake in one mechs and the chase happens.

The chase plays out the same, however Team Henna appears and easily takes out the mech before capturing Adam's partner. Before Team Jabberwock could get away, they are also caught by Atlas soldiers before being handed over to Goodwitch.

(Arc 4: Meet the Arcs!)

There isn't much going on in this Arc except for the dance and maybe the mission itself. That said, this might be the longest Arc, even if I don't write it out as long. So, continuing from the last Arc, Team Jabberwock is currently in Ozpin's office being reprimanded by Goodwitch and Ironwood while Ozpin reviews the footage. After being shouted at enough, the team is sentenced to a strict overwatch on Beacon's ground without access to Vale. Just as the team's dismissed, Ozpin calls Jaune back to talk to him about why his hand is wrapped up. Being in the spotlight of Ozpin, Goodwitch and Ironwood, Jaune tells them about his experience with Grimm and how it left a reminder his hand.

Seeing Jaune get defensive and withdrawn, Ozpin accepts the answer and sends Jaune on his way, telling Goodwitch to keep a particular close eye on him. After Jaune leave, a quick discussion between Ironwood and Ozpin reveals that they're both cautious of Jaune due to him being caught earlier and how he might know more about The Grimm Walker.

With Team Jabberwock, Jaune tells his team how it would be best if they drop whatever they're doing with the White Fang. Blake obviously opposes the idea, but Jaune brings up how without his sister's team they would've died, not counting how he and Blake willingly went into a White Fang Rally. Blake is still opposed to it and is surprised to see that Ruby and Weiss agree with Jaune, hurting her a bit when she thinks she'd being betrayed.

Before the issue could escalate any further, Team Lynx appears and asks if any of them were ready for the upcoming dance. Though caught off guard, Team Jabberwock make an excuse for not going before being introduced to Team Sun.

Over the week, Team Jabberwock learns that a dance is being held before students start taking missions. They also realize that Blake is still on the White Fang issue and is overtaxing herself with it, making them fear that they may break up like they did when they first came together. The day of the dance, Jaune is surprised to see Noir and Blanc and hear that they are attending Beacon's dance as representatives for the family's company.

Telling them about Blake's obsession, Team Jabberwock meets with the twins before the three Arcs reveal a bit about their past. Why Noir runs the Black Market and why Blanc is the next heiress among other things like how their older sister is suffering from PTSD. The main focus is to tell them how their father died because he was so obsessed with doing his job and saving people. Hearing about this, Blake agrees to take it easy and go do the dance, taking Jaune as a partner.

The Dance plays out like usual. But while that is happening, Jaune and Blake notice Cinder running around the campus and decided to follow her. After running into a few groups of Atlas soldiers that were taken down, the two confront her just outside the CCT tower. The fight is a bit one-sided in the beginning with Blake being more of a liability before she's taken out. This leave Jaune to let lose a bit more before he is caught off guard by Cinder using the Maiden's powers.

Cinder manages to infect the CCT but the fight from earlier manages to bring Noir and Blanc over. However, instead of fighting Cinder, the two sisters work together and shut down the CCT just before Ironwood arrives. After the dance, Jaune and Blake gave their side of the fight before Noir joins in and says that the CCT should stay down until the virus can be found and purged. Ironwood goes against this but grudgingly accepts when Ozpin joins agrees.

This is also when Blanc and Noir reveal that they came with a mission request from their mother and how she wants Jaune's team to take it. Ozpin's a little skeptical about it but accepts on the condition that they are joined by an additional team (LNNX, CVFY, SNNN, FNKI…any team really). The mission is 'somewhat' like Canon; the team heads to Mountain Glenn to find that Jaune's family wants to set up an expansion here and wants the Grimm to be cleared out.

Before the teams begin to work on that, they are introduced to Jaune's mom, older sister (Rouge) and his twin (Or), while the younger ones are introduced through a video call. This is the point where Jaune's Twin's technical wizardry is shown as Clockwork Soldiers and few Tall Boys join the family. The mission goes well enough, Team Jabberwock, alongside Oobleck, manage to clear out a large number of Grimm while the other team protects the workers as they begin clearing out or restoring what they can.

The mission is longer than canon, roughly 2 - 3 weeks instead of 1 day. In that time, everyone learns more out the Arc's and how they grew to rival SDC. Rouge also attempts to convince Jaune to stop being a Huntsman leading her to clash with his team, Noir and even her mother. Near the end of the two weeks, the group decide to begin exploring the underground, knowing of the caves beneath.

While there, Rouge joins Team Jabberwock and reveals to them what exactly happened at Mountain Glenn that caused her to have PTSD and why she wants Jaune to stop being a Huntsman. Eventually, the group finds the White Fang who, because of their failed attempts at gathering dust, are accompanied by Watts. The team watches as the group begins to set up charges and IED's on the train. Unfortunately, the group is found out and captured before being brought onto the train as it starts.

Eventually, the others notice that Jaune's team isn't around and go out to find them. This leads to finding the train as it begins to leave causing the other team and Noir and Blanc to jump on as well. Train things happen, all members fight a higher ranked White Fang member in pairs while Jaune and Rouge head to the front. The twist is that the White Fang begin to use similar powers that Jaune did; one uses Blink and another uses Doppelgänger, so and so forth.

When Jaune and Rouge reach the front, they confront Watts who greets with on friendly turns. The fight starts, and ends, really quickly since Watts uses Time Bend (Like Daud does in the game) to talk to Jaune. In that time, Jaune tries attacking Watts but is easily knocked around. After Time Bend ends Watts creates a Doppelgänger and uses it to escape just before the train crashes.

The Breach happens like normal with everyone on the train helping out before Atlas helps out. Once the fights are over and everyone is accounted for, Ironwood reveals that he turned the CCT back on with permission and demand of the Vale Council. When Noir and Blanc try to shut it off, they are blocked by atlas soldiers that are blocking the entrance. This causes Noir and, by extension, everyone with the Black Market to clash against Atlas Forces more often.

Another scene to include is how Jaune learns of a powerful ability that explains why everyone else is able to use powers like him…and how he can obtain for himself.

(Arc 5: Vytal Tournament)

At this point, the Canon take over again and things resume like normal; everything with the Vytal tournament happens with a few small changes. The Arc starts off with Team Jabberwock talking with Noir and Blanc. Noir reveals what Ironwood did and says that 'He gave the enemy back their advantage' and decides to gather the underside of Vale together for whatever attack that might come.

Blanc is a bit skeptical but trusts Noir due to who she normally deals with. Once Noir explains everything, she asks Jaune's Team to try and spread out the information as discreetly as possible, not to cause panic but unease against Atlas. The Team agrees begin to spread rumors of Atlas being corrupt. Surprisingly, it works and leads to many students becoming cautious or outright avoid any Atlas representatives, even the students.

The tournament fights happen like Canon but after their own, Team Jabberwock learn about representatives from D'ARC and SDC and head to main courtyard to greet them. Here, Jaune's family arrives under the pretense of striking up a deal with Atlas. On their way over, a few Atlas drones try to stop them but are quickly destroyed by a few Clockwork Soldiers. Winter sees this and goes to confront the family but is cut off by Rouge. The two then fight like Qrow and Winter in canon which ends in a draw.

After it's over, Ozpin and Ironwood invite Jaune's mother, Rouge and his twin with them while Team Jabberwock decides to look around. With Jaune's mother, after they reach Ozpin's office, he and Ironwood reveal who it was Winter was about to confront. Jaune's mother waves off the encounter without hassle before she brings up how Ironwood went against her family.

Ozpin would try to play Devil's Advocate between the two but is ignored when Jaune's mother decides to give Ironwood a chance to redeem himself in her eyes. Jaune's twin, yes I will continue to write this because people will get confused when I say 'Or', reveals that she already create an anti-virus that she was going to upload into the CCT before Ironwood turned it back on.

Ironwood accepts and leads the them to the CCT where Jaune's Twin uploads the program. Unfortunately, she learns that because Ironwood turn the tower back on, the virus spread further than expected. This means the while they can kill most of the virus, whoever set it up will still have some control over some things like the camera streams…convenient, no? T

From here, practically everything happens like normal; Mercury fakes his injury, Team Lynx is disqualified and it's Jaune vs Penny while Ruby runs into Mercury. The only difference is that Mercury starts to use powers similar to Jaune, while Ruby reveals the same, shocking Mercury. A Flashback shows Jaune taking Team Jabberwock into the Emerald Forest before he reveals everything about his powers.

When he does, Jaune takes them to the cave he found with Blake during initiation and leads them to the restore shrine. After he finishes explaining his powers and how he can give them the ability to join, Jaune offers them the choice to accept or not. Without hesitation, Blake, Weiss and Ruby accept and place their hands on the shrine. When they do, a mark is burned on their hands (Jaune's emblem mixed with the Outsider's mark).

With Jaune, as he fights Penny, he notices how much force Penny is using before he tried to talk to her. In response, Penny simply increases her aggression to the point where Jaune is forced to use one of powers more and more. It ends when Jaune uses his power to summon Grim to attack.

(Arc 6: Attack on Beacon!)

From there, Cinder begins her whole invasion and people begin to panic. Fortunately, before Cinder could record anything, Jaune's twin manages to shut down the CCT again just before anything bad is shown. As everyone begins to evacuate and call the Grimm, Noir makes her move and sends out everyone she gathered around Vale to stop the Grimm. In Beacon, an Army of Clockwork Soldiers activate and patrol the school just as the Atlas drones begin to malfunction.

Adding to this, Adam and the White Fang begin their portion of the invasion on Beacon, with many of them now using powers. Despite this, many of the huntsmen and Huntresses manage to overcome the supernatural powers and, unfortunately, kill a majority of the White Fang. During that time, Jaune and Blake encounter Adam, who reveals that he received his own mark from Salem.

The fight is pretty much a stalemate the entire time until Rouge and Winter join in and tell Jaune help elsewhere. They managed to get to the CCT just in time to see the Grimm Dragon appear and crash into it. While the two do their best to find any survivors, Jaune spots Cinder heading towards Beacon and decides to chase after her. The two start a chase fight as they head to Ozpin's Office, using their powers to keep up with one another. Getting to the elevator, Cinder manages to get in before it heads to the vault while Jaune is stopped by a few elite White Fang members.

Though a bit difficult, Jaune manages to defeat the members just in time for Pyrrha to exit the elevator and tell him about Ozpin and Cinder fighting. Sending Pyrrha away, Jaune head up to the tower and confronts Cinder. Trading ideologies and how they got their powers, the two begin fighting like normal; Jaune uses his sword and gadgets while Cinder uses her own weapons.

As the fight escalates, the two begin using their more destructive powers, both summoning Grimm or using Wind Blast. After a bit, Jaune manages to fire off a crossbow bolt that takes out Cinder's eyes while one of Cinder's arrow does the same. Seeing that they were both tiring themselves out, Cinder praises Jaune for lasting as long before she starts using the Maiden's powers. This result in Jaune's right arm, one that uses the sword, to be cut off.

Seeing Jaune in the losing position, Cinder decides to mock him and his misuse of Salem's powers. Jaune simply laughs at her before he looks up and holds out a pendant. Just as the rest of his team manages to appear, Cinder and Jaune are enveloped in a light before it fades to reveal them both missing.

-Epilogue -

A week or two has passed since Jaune and Cinder have disappeared. In that time, Vale manages to repel the attack with little damage. Most of the transfer students head back to their kingdoms while clean-up is happening. Team Jabberwock, or what's left, have spent their time scouring the ruins of Beacon and simply find Jaune's sword. The team decided to stay together, leading to Weiss being disowned and help out around Vale for a while.

After some more time passes, Noir tells them how she found Cinder had come from Mistral and posed as a student in Haven academy. With that, Team Jabberwock heads out with Team Lynx to see what they can find in Mistral.

Meanwhile, on beaches of Menagerie, a certain Cat Faunus stumbles across a blonde, missing an arm and an eye.

And that about does it for the story. Keep in mind that I really didn't include a whole lot of fight scenes, mainly in the beginning where Jaune and Cinder meet. There are obviously other things that I never mentioned again, such as Ozpin's interest in Jaune or Raven's recruitment. To be honest, I mainly did that so that whoever takes this story up can do what they want.

After I post this, I'm going to explain a few more things to Sagistic so if you do have any questions, hopefully he can answer them for you.

Honestly, if I had the passion, I would redo the everything I've written.

You could probably tell how much I changed Jaune from what I wanted to what I did. I would've made him more cautious around people and really secretive. I would've done Initiations differently too; making more a hunt for a certain Grimm that was chosen from drawing tickets. I would've redone the beginning a bit, if only to add Jaune's growth.

And many more.

But if I were to write down everything, this would be really long and I don't want to do that. So…I guess this is it. Sorry to everyone that enjoyed this story but I'm moving on. It was fun…for what I did. I also have a few story ideas but I'll leave them to Sagistic. Anyway, This is Shira saying, see you guys…I'll be reading from here on occasion, Fanfiction is my favorite thing to read.
