*Jaune's Pov*

In the mindscape of a certain knight

'Ugh... What happened' I woke up with a massive headache and as I opened my eyes I saw that I was in a white void-like space. As I looked around I noticed my suit of armor and Crocea Mors in the corner in a display case. And in the middle of the room was Garm standing proud and tall, looking at me with his blue sapphire eyes. Garm in the mindscape is in his True Form, a massive red and black wolf with black smooth bone plates that looked regal for a Grimm all over his back and body. Garm had very big teeth that were about the size of his great sword form. His mask and armor adorned with red tribal stripes that glowed in an ominous manner, looking down at me with his feral grin in place.

*Third Person Pov*

"Welcome, Jaune, back to your mind where I reside. I had a feast from that abomination that you slew so I thank you, those small fries didn't even satisfy my appetite." Garm said in a booming voice that sounded powerful and ancient. 'Hey, Garm, what's up 'cause I'm pretty sure that you did not bring me here just to chat right after I killed the abomination' Jaune said in a tone that revealed how serious he was about the situation. Garm sighed knowing that there's nothing that could be done to keep Jaune from what he will undergo. "Jaune, I may have forgotten to tell you this when you were just a child but there is a change that will happen once the shattered moon turns full in a hundred years, this is that hundredth year and in five days time, the moon will be full and you will change. You, Jaune Arc, will gain so much once the change is done but the only consequence would be that the change would be extremely painful and you would no longer be human" Garm explained with a concerned and worried tone for his wielder. Garm over the years of being wielded and used by Jaune grew attached to him like a father or friend would and he did not want the boy to be hurt. At this Jaune's eyes widened for a brief second before his eyes softened and smiled at Garm. 'Garm, I know you're worried but I want you to not worry alright. If this change allows me to protect everyone then I'll gladly undergo the change, I chose this path now let me finish it.' Jaune said with a soft smile.

"I know that Jaune, you are the only wielder that I trust and during this time I've had this connection with you, hell your practically the cub I've never had!" Garm said with a few smiles and giggles. Jaune grins at his fatherly figure, noting how his dad and Garm were practically the same sometimes.

'Hey, remember when we first met? I remember seeing you there in that cave and you gave me enough power to save my sister' Jaune said to his father figure

"Yeah, I remember that day like no other," Garm said

place far from Vale, a young twelve-year-old Jaune was with his sister in the forest. Running around and playing tag not knowing that they were straying farther and farther away from home. "Hey, Big Bro aren't we getting farther and farther from home?" His younger sister Jeane Arc asked. "What do you mean? I know this place like the back of my hand! don't doubt your Big Bro just like that alright Jeane." Jaune said with a big grin that made his adopted sister blush. Unknown to Jaune his sister had felt feelings that a sister shouldn't feel toward their brother, but she didn't know that as she was still very young. As Jaune and Jeane went further in the forest, they started to realize that this maybe wasn't such a good idea after all. It was starting to get dark and scary, especially with all the noises and unfamiliar tree's that looked almost black in color.

'Wait, black trees?' Jaune thought confused, knowing that around the area where they lived there weren't any black trees. They then decided to head back home to the house but when they turned around they found that they wandered off the path that they took and ventured deep into the Forbidden Woods. But with their fear and negative emotions in play, they were like an irresistible scent drawing any wandering Grimm closer and closer to the siblings. Then Jaune heard the one thing that he didn't want to hear, the growl of a Grimm. As they turned around Jaune could make out about a hundred blood-red eyes looking at them in the dark. Out of the dark one of the Grimm came out, It was a Beowolf alpha, and it stumbled upon the siblings that were like a buffet to the pack. Jaune did the only thing that he could do at that moment.

"RUN!" Jaune shouted and picked her sister up bridal style and started to run like he was being chased by death herself. With the Grimm noticing that their prey was getting away they gave chase. Jaune kept running and running for hours, hiding himself and his sister away from the Grimm for a little rest before he started to run again to the exact direction of where he knew the house was. With him running out of breath and growing weak, he started to slow down, he didn't even notice the beowolf creeping and striking before it was too late. As the hit landed, his ribs broke with some of the bone shards stabbing his lungs, making him unable to breathe. He landed right in a cave where it was pitch dark. He couldn't see anything apart from the mouth of the cave where his sister was scared and frightened and was about to be mauled by the Grimm. He tried speaking but he only coughed blood, and could only watch helplessly as his sister was about to die. That was until he heard it a voice that seemed ancient and furious. "HELLO CHILD...DO YOU WISH FOR POWER?..." It questioned, with a booming voice. Jaune then noticed the surroundings have stopped. And as he turned around he saw a sword, a Gigantic Sword with a blood-red edge, glowing with the runes being red. Jaune for the lack of a better word was shocked and couldn't seem to find his voice. "I CAN GIVE YOU MY POWER TO PROTECT YOUR SISTER IF YOU GIVE ME SOMETHING IN RETURN." The sword said. "YOUR INJURED BUT YOU CAN TELEPATHICALLY SPEAK WITH ME. AND DON'T WORRY TIME HERE MOVES VERY FAST BUT THE TIME THEY HAVE IS SLOW. SO SPEAK IF YOU WANT TO PROTECT THOSE YOU HOLD DEAR." It said. The Jaune thought his answer to the sword. 'I accept'

With the sword answered, time returned as it originally stood. "GOOD ANSWER..." Jaune heard before everything burned and Jaune felt everything that was broken heal instantly. With the healing done, Jaune stood up holding the sword as if it was a feather and started growling. His eyes once which were once blue was now a dark red with a slit in the middle, his canine teeth sharpened to points looking like canines of a wolf. His eyes now held a fury of a predator looking for new prey to devour, and with the newfound power, he charged with a furious roar that sounded more like a beast that had been wronged and ready to tear apart the one that wronged him.

*Not gonna die-By Skillet*

Death surrounds
My heartbeat's slowing down
I won't take this world's abuse
I won't give up or refuse

Jaune reached the first Grimm that was about to maul Jeane and held it's throat. The Grimm started to thrash about with its jaws snapping at Jaune.

This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen
When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in

The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flatline

Jaune looked at the terrified Jeane and smiled. "Don't be scared okay sis, Big Bro will get the meanies alright."

No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight

Jaune then turned back to the captured Grimm and scowled. As the Grimm continued to snarl, Jaune took the upper and lower jaw and he ripped the top half off of its skull silencing the Grimm permanently. The Alpha noticed the prey's sudden change in behavior and became wary. Jaune then turned to more of them and said "Who's next"

Break their hold
Cause I won't be controlled
They can't keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free

This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back
When life pushes me I push harder
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger

As if sensing the challenge the Grimm charged. Jaune merely roared at them and charged them head-on. The first Grimm met its demise early by being slashed in half by the giant sword, another took the opportunity and bit his leg.

The last thing I heard is you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flatline

Jaune merely stabbed the sword straight through the Grimm's neck decapitating it acting like a guillotine. A Beowolf tried to maul the blonde from behind but Jaune sensed the incoming attack and ducked while swinging his sword upwards decapitating the Grimm. More Grimm came and tried to kill Jaune, completely ignoring Jeane as Jaune became the higher threat.

No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight

Jeane ran away to go to the house and get help, leaving Jaune alone to face all the Grimm. Nevertheless, Jaune just kept on fighting and fighting until there was only one Grimm left to kill, the Alpha. Jaune was barely recognizable as he was drenched head to toe in Grimm blood, his red eyes still blazing and looking for more prey.

Don't you give up on me
You're everything I need
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you fight back

Jaune saw the alpha running towards him, and proceeded to do the same. Once they reached each other, the Alpha went for a swipe to the blonde's stomach with Jaune narrowly avoiding the swipe but not coming out unscathed as one of the claws gave a deep cut to his side. Jaune went for a slice to the alpha's arms, which it dodged but unprepared for the kick that flew at its face.

No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight

With the Alpha disoriented, Jaune got the chance to slice off one of its arms, angering it greatly and making it roar in so much pain that it nearly deafened you due to it.

No, we're not gonna die tonight

Jaune then lets go of the sword and proceeded to punch the Grimm with a strength that no child should have at the age of 12 evidenced by the cracking bone mask of the monster. Jaune then took the other arm off the beast ripping it out of its socket from the Grimm. The Grimm roared in pain but was quickly silenced by its own arm going through its own mouth. The Grimm looked at the human that managed to kill its brethren one last time, only to feel fear as the Grimm saw a huge wolf's shadow from behind it and with that being it's last moments as the light in its eyes dimmed and went out signifying that it was dead.

Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die tonight

*End Song*

As Jaune saw what happened by the cause of his bare hands. He was amazed. "JAUNE!" a voice yelled but to Jaune, the voice sounded farther and farther before he blacked out.

As Jaune came back to his mindscape after reminiscing with Garm, everything started to shake and fade. "Well, it looks like we'll have to cut this short" Jaune said. "Yeah partner, wouldn't want your new sexy partner to worry." Garm snickered with a laugh. Jaune blushed and decided to leave then and there before any more comments were said. He then opened his eyes to see all of the girls awake and worried. "Well, I'm back guys, miss me"
