So, yeah. This is just another stupid story of mine. I hope you guys would enjoy it. :)
Notes: Jaune here would be quite... cold. But he'd warmed up eventually. Also, I don't know if Vale has a king or not, but since there are four kingdoms in Vale, I figured I'd just make their leader a King.


"Everyone, we'll handle the scythes while all of you attack with everything you've got!" Jason Arc commanded, he was leading the special tasked force that was created by the King of Vale. Grimms were attacking everywhere, that was pretty obvious, ever since they've lost against the humanity in the first war, they've always attack humans and devour them whenever they get the chance. However, nobody ever predicted the Grimm to become so...coordinated.

Few months before the Task Force was made, Grimm attacks were absolutely destroying the four kingdom's trade, supplies, and their military campaign against the unknown lands. They would attack at a very unusual pattern, then suddenly vanished like they weren't even there. Of course, at first everyone thought it was just some normal Grimm assault.

The only thing that the Kingdom of Vale could ever figure out was, whenever these 'Smart Grimms' attack, they'd be just a single area. Other attacks were getting more frequent all right, but one out of these ten attacks would be the smart ones. That could only mean one thing; Someone or something is controlling them. That's when the task force came in.

Their job wasn't like those normal Huntsmen, they were chosen, specifically by Jason Arc, the wielder of Crocea Mors. He accepted the job, but on one condition that he could take his seventeen year old son on his missions. Normally the King would deny this no matter what, but when Jason told them about Jaune's special ability, his Semblance, everyone else agreed to let him join, even the King.

Assuring the King that his son received special training, that Jason himself had trained his son, the King was forced to agree. After all, if it means more powerful people joining them just increases their chance of finding out who or what is this thing that's controlling these Grimms. Not to mention quicker.

At first, the boy felt like an outsider before everyone else. He was the only one who's seventeen after all. Everyone else were on their twenties or thirties, some even on their forties. But he never let looks deceived him, they were all chosen because of their abilities, not by their age. For him he was one of them, not on combat skills per se, but because of his Semblance.

His semblance was the ability to materialize his body, being able to pass right through anything was a very useful skill after all. Thanks to his father, he was able to figure out the consequences of his powers. First, is that he cannot dodge an attack that he can't see, should he be able to feel the weapon attacking a part of his body, that's the only time he could dodge it using his Semblance. Two, that his whole body cannot pass right through walls, his hand, head, feet, half of his body can pass right through, but he cannot fully apply his power at his entire body, only to just multiple parts. Doesn't matter how many, as long as a part of him stays materialized. Three, he cannot apply his Semblance on any living creatures, only to objects. That means that if a part of you would get shot at, the only thing that the bullet would pass right through is the clothes, should the targeted person have one.

He was depicted as a loner by the rest of the group. His clothes consisted of black pants with a black belt that had a large silver buckle, a black V-necked shirt that was worn underneath a black trench-coat with gray lining going down the sleeves and black boots with silver plates to protect his shins. He has a silver plate worn on his coat, which was on his left side, and a pair of black fingerless gloves. He wears two strap making an 'X' outline on that trench-coat, that goes over his right left shoulder and under it to wrap around his right and left side, that holds his dual sword.

The missions were easy and boring, they were scouting the borders of Vale, looking for any idea where that 'leader' would attack next. The entire task force consisted of thirty people, including Jaune. But how can a seventeen year old boy be out of place?... Alcohol, that's what the adults would drink every night they would camp, which his dad, being a very disciplined and strict father, wouldn't allow him near alcohol at such a young age.

His childhood wasn't fluffy and full of happiness. His mother died protecting him until soldiers and Huntsmen arrived to rescue everyone. That's when his father changed, he didn't became a drunkard or something like that, he became strict and trained Jaune until he puked, everyday. Despite living under that kind of life, he didn't regret it, he was looking forward to it actually. He can personally get his revenge on these so called 'Creatures of the Dark'.

The so called 'leader' of the Grimm was absolutely terrifying. It was thirty meters long, it looked like a Centipede that has a giant head, two scythes in front, and hundreds of spike all around its body. If the scythe wasn't bad enough, imagine those hundreds of spike tactically searching for it's prey, like it has its own brain. To make things much worst, it's strength was beyond their expectation, so did its speed. Despite its bulk size, its movement pattern was very difficult to read, to be much more clearer, it didn't have an attack pattern, it just gracefully rampaging his way against the Huntsmen that's trying to kill it.

"It doesn't make any sense." Jaune said, panting as he and his father took a short break to recover some stamina. The others were barely holding out, but they need an attack plan, otherwise they are dead. Inside a cave, they cannot use such firepower, it could collapse on them anytime. And they couldn't just go let someone blast himself sky-high just to kill this beast. The cave itself was a maze, after all. There are so many tunnels, all leading to different locations around... well, they didn't got that far yet. The Grimm could just escape, thus making that man's sacrifice in vain, should he do it.

"What is?" his father asked, five of them were talking to each other.

Jaune was still trying to breath as many air as he can "How can something so smart act like a mindless monster?" he asked "And this Grimm has never been seen before. Ever." after all those time his dad made him read everything there is to know about Grimms. "Or is it a trap..." his mouth wide agape, as thousands of Grimm crawled out from those tunnels.

"We need to get out of here. NOW!" even if his son has that kind of ability, it would only be a matter of time before he'd also fall.

One by one, Huntsmen fell, they can't simply pull back. Some men has to be left behind, buying enough time for the rest of them to escape. "Jason!" his colleague yelled, two Huntsmen on his back "Let's hold them off!" with a smirk on his face "Just like old times!" the four of them laughed, remembering the time when they were still a team.

"Everyone out of here now! We'll hold them off as long as we can!" Jason yelled, the Grimm not even giving him a chance to look at his son.

"Dad..."

"Jaune, out of here now!"

"But-"

"GO!" he screamed, just in time to block that in coming attack.


That was the last word he heard from his dad. Out of the thirty people, only six survived, three needed intense medical care, one with a dismembered leg, the last with a shattered elbow. Speaking of luck, Jaune was the only one who was truly lucky, just having some grazed arm. His Semblance saved him, thousands of times. While the team was falling back, back in to the surface, where the sunlight hits them, thousands of Grimm swarmed upon them, attack from different direction simultaneously.

Lives were taken that day, so many lives, including the life of his father. It's been a week since their raid, and no one came out from those tunnels, not a single one.
Then he was taken back to the military base, where it was discussed what to do with the boy. There were three people on that desk before him, one was a gray-haired man, the other was some military high ranking dude, maybe a General, the third was some old guy.

"He's still a child!" the gray-haired man yelled, "He have seen things no child should have!" he was getting angry over the fact that Jaune was allowed to participate in that mission. "I cannot let this happen... I will not let this happen!" he was steaming hot, literally, he was grabbing everyone's attention.

For Jaune it was heartwarming, that some stranger was fighting for his 'youthfulness' but in the end, it was all too late. He'd seen that 'thing', it's capabilities and every- No, it wasn't showing its tricks just yet. He's dad is dead, he's the only member in that task force who's capable to fight back, everyone else were...

"It's useless!" the General yelled back "He's not just some student anymore! He doesn't need to study anymore!" yelling back, they were fighting if Jaune was to be a Huntsmen who serves the Military, or him, attending a school called Beacon Academy. The boy was more to the General's side, he wants to fight back to that thing, but on the other hand: He's still not strong enough.

"What if... he attends Beacon as a teacher?" the man offered.

"And he'll teach the students about the Queen Grimm, right, Ozpin?" the General eyed him suspiciously.

"Of course. That is if he can still share something besides what he had told us." the man called Ozpin said.

"But he can teach them about its attack pattern? Or just simple idea just to increase our chances of winning."

Ozpin nodded. "Queen?" Jaune interjected.

"That's right, Jaune, we named it 'Queen Grimm'. Days after your raid, it was now showing up when it's controlled Grimms were razing our cities."

"And you can't figure an attack pattern?" Jaune asked, they can't be that stupid, right?

"We can't. It's not moving, or even attacking. But it's presence makes my soldiers morale... waver." he shamefully admitted.


The talk ended leaving Jaune and Ozpin in an airship towards Beacon.

"You're things will be delivered tomorrow." Ozpin said, he was not going to talk about what happened in that raid with Jaune. It was still too fresh for the kid.

"Woah.." he was caught off-guard, he didn't expect Beacon to be this magnificent of a school.

"Well, I bet you're hungry, let's go to the cafeteria." Ozpin suggested.

As they open the door they came first before a blonde monkey Faunus, and a pretty cool looking guy.

"Well... Welcome to Beacon." Ozpin said, after he and Jaune, and the other two behind them, witnessed how 'Food Fight' is done in Beacon.


Yes, this is the first episode of the second Volume of RWBY. Instead of Sun and Wukong witnessing the food fight mayhem, I added Jaune and Ozpin in the scene. Do you guys like it? :)
