Helloooo Everyone! Happy 2020 to all of you! I'm glad that I can relax for a bit and bang out a new chapter. Speaking of a new chapter this will be beginning of the new Arc in Volume 1, as you guys notice I already derailed from the RWBY canon so don't expect things to flow the same way as in the show.

This chapter will be focused on Jaune's conversation with his sisters, some training montage with Goku, followed by Team RYBN talking to him about the events that transpire in the Underworld and finally his broadcast message as the Underworld King which will have a reaction from major players in Vale..

Without wasting more time let's get this chapter stared

RWBY Opening 1

Volume 1: Rescue Arc

Chapter 18: A King's Order

Sapphire's and Coral's Apartment.. Kingdom of Vale.. Remnant..

"How do you like your eggs Jaune?" asked Sapphire towards her youngest brother who was sitting down in the living room couch, staring at the sealing with a blank expression as he felt the tiredness consuming his body from not sleeping at all yesterday..

"The same as always sis..! But try to make extra in case I eat more" responded back the Saiyan as he kept staring at the ceiling, not bothering to look at the eldest Arc sister who 'hummed' at his answer

"You know, I could of sworn that you didn't eat as much before what gives?" asked the blonde-haired Huntress towards Jaune

"Let's just say that my travels around the Kingdom have made me more hungrier" explained Jaune vaguely towards Sapphire, not wanting to explain that his reason was because he became an alien from another reality

"Speaking of travels? How did you got into Beacon Academy?" said Sapphire towards her brother in a 'innocent' tone as she kept cooking "As far as I know, you barely knew how to hold a sword few months ago when I visited you. Developing a technique for a couple of months can't get you into an Huntsmen Academy when others had to train for years!"

"What makes you think that I go to Beacon?" asked Jaune somewhat surprised that his sister was able to deduce that he was attending at the prestige academy of Vale

"Jaune, the people who tried rescued you at the Underworld are Beacon students! If Coral and I hadn't arrived on time to get them out, you and the rest of them would have been crushed by the rocks!" exclaimed Sapphire with irritation and concern towards Jaune who just 'tch' in frustration knowing that it was true "The only reason a bunch of Beacon students tried to rescue you is because they are your team-mates and friends, am I wrong?"

"No, you're not wrong.." simply stated Jaune, finding no reason to lie to his sister who just sighed at his response

"Jaune listen, I know that your dream was always to become a Huntsman and be a hero.. But you're not ready, look at the state you are right now for fighting in the Underworld! I can only imagine all the scars you have gained from that fight! And let's not even talk about the fact that you're wearing an eyepatch!" exclaimed the eldest Arc sister towards the Saiyan

"Hmph! I can assure you that I'm not the same weakling boy that I was few months ago. By the way I got these injuries by fighting a powerful opponent that could give dad a run for his money so I don't regret engaging in that fight.." said the black-haired Arc with annoyance

"Even if you somehow gotten stronger you can't just fight everything in front of you, that's not what a Huntsman do! If we hadn't arrived on time you would have certainly died from blood loss!" responded Sapphire with a serious expression, then her expression turned into a softer concern one "Please Jaune.. Don't keep going in this path, you can comeback home where you are safe from the dangers of this world.."

"You know I can't abandon this path Sapphire, all my life I wanted to be something I can be proud off and prove to everyone that I can do it! Even if that dream entails getting myself in dangerous situations then so be it! It's not like I haven't experience it before embarking into this journey.." stated Jaune with bitterness as he cracked his index finger to calm himself down, however his action didn't go unnoticed by his sister but decided to put it on hold for now..

"I knew you were going to say no, you were always as stubborn as our father..." said the blonde-haired Huntress with a sad smile "And I'm sorry if I brought up some bitter memories from the past, I know you didn't have the best childhood in school or in Ansel.."

"Understatement of the century.." said the black-haired Saiyan within his mind, if she knew what truly happened those ten days he went missing thanks to a certain hokey-masked monster. However he was not ready to tell her that yet.. "Look, what happened in the past stays there so no need to remind me.."

After that comment, the two Arc members stopped talking for each other for a couple of minutes, the only thing that was preventing the situation become more awkward was the sounds of cooking Sapphire was doing

"Come on Jaune keep talking! I know you still have some questions you want ask!" said the Saiyan God within his mind, trying to encourage Jaune to speak again

"Do I have too..?" responded Jaune tiredly but nonetheless he gave in to Goku's request as he was staring at his oldest sister "Hey Sapphire.. How's mom and father? Are they at home?"

"Mom is at home, she has been depressed since your disappearance three months ago, it came to the point that she stopped taking jobs for the Kingdom. You should try to visit her or even give her call to calm her mind.." said Sapphire neutrally as she went to get the plates to put in the food "And about Dad.."

"What happened to him?" asked Jaune with slight concern at hearing Sapphire stopped taking mid-sentence

"Dad has been missing.. He took a solo mission to Mistral days before your disappearance and he hasn't been seen since then..! We asked Saphron and her wife to help us since they have connections with the military base in Argus but even the scouting team they offer hasn't been able to locate our father.." responded Sapphire with clear distress in her tone voice

Jaune couldn't believe what he was hearing, his father one of the most powerful Huntsman of his generation and maybe one of the few people who could fight Rob Lucci in equal grounds, was missing somewhere in the Anima continent. Just thinking about this situation was making him have a headache..

"So the situation is really that bad? My mom has depression and father has been missing for months..!" thought Jaune in frustration as he clenches his good fist "Have they at least found any clues that could lead to his whereabouts? What about his weapon Areadbhar, if he was truly ambushed then his lance must be somewhere where he fought.."

Areadbhar, along with Crocea Mors and other weapons his sisters wield are known as the Arc Relics. They might look simplistic at first compare to the other weapons that modern Huntsman posses but they have resisted over the centuries with their endurance and they have never needed maintenance like other ordinary weapons.

"Unfortunately, there's not a single trace of Areadbhar in the spots the scouting team has been. And I doubt he would leave his most precious weapon on a random forest or village in Anima.." responded Sapphire sadly as she turns her gaze at her little brother "I know what your thinking about Jaune, you want to help to find father.."

"Am I really that predictable?" responded Jaune with a sadden smile on his face

"Well your my brother after all and I was the one along with Saphron that took care of you all those years ago before we went to the Academy.." replied back the eldest Arc to Jaune "Anyways, there's nothing you can do for the moment since we don't even have a clue where to find him.."

"But I can't just stay here and not do nothing when everyone is looking for him! Come on Sapphire! I'm strong enough to protect myself and go look for him" exclaimed Jaune with a hint of anger, if it wasn't for this stupid broken arm he would have flew to Anima and start to look for him. Unfortunately, his body was still recovering along with his Aura so he was very limited

Not to mention that he would unintentionally dragged his team into another mess

"Now you are being delusional Jaune..!" stated the blonde-haired Huntress in annoyance as she grabs the plates of food and puts them on the table.. "First of all, you need to heal all your injuries from you're adventure in the Underworld. Secondly your just only a first year Huntsman-in-training and this rescuing mission they require Professionals"

"She's kinda right Jaune.. At this moment your weaker than before thanks to those injuries, you would only get in the way.." added Goku to the conversation, this of course made Jaune get more frustrated since he knew that his master and Sapphire are right..

"Alright fine! I won't go look for him for now. But the moment I'm healed then I'll go to Anima to look for him, rules be dammed.." responded Jaune towards the Saiyan God with no room for argument

"Look Jaune.." spoke up Sapphire once again which caught the attention of the black-haired Saiyan "Even if your unable to do anything at the moment. I would recommend to go to Ansel and visit mother. It would brighten her mood to find out that at least her son is still alive after missing all these months."

"..Okay, I'll visit mother next week. However, that doesn't mean that I will stay there! I have ambitions that I want to achieve in Beacon" responded Jaune with a serious expression towards her sister who just nodded at his answer

"That's reasonable enough, I knew that you weren't going to leave Beacon for my sake.." stated Sapphire with a tired sigh "Just be careful.. I don't want you to die"

"Don't worry Sapphire.. I'm not planning to die anytime soon." said Jaune with a smirk on his face, he won't be dying yet until he has become the strongest Huntsman in Remnant, along with changing this society into a better one where people don't have to suffer the same fate as him...

Before the eldest Arc sister could respond back, another familiar voice came in to the kitchen with a tired expression

"What's with all this noise Sapphire? I never recalled you being this loud unless we are discussing about something.." exclaimed Coral Arc tiredly as she walks in to the kitchen in her pajamas, the Huntress stared to rub her eyes once again to see more clearly and saw that Sapphire was finishing cooking a great amount of food which confused her. Then Coral's gaze landed on the black-haired Arc that was sitting on the couch, thus making her eyes go wide in shock "Wait! Aren't you the kid that we have to save from the Underworld?! I thought you were still in the hospital laying unconscious after all those injuries!"

"Hello to you as well Coral.." responded Jaune towards his second oldest sister "You know, Sapphire gave me the same answer. At least have some faith in your little brother in healing quickly"

"What the...?! Jaune?!" shouted Coral in shock as she was staring at the black-haired Arc for a good bit, then she could notice his face structure looking similar to how Coral remembers him, along with his lone blue eye that are a trademark in the Arc family. The only difference being his long black wild hair and eyepatch covering one of his eyes.. "Holy shit! It is really you!"

"It's good to see you sis" said the Saiyan with a soft smile as he stood up from the sofa and went to hug his second eldest sister with his good arm, in which Coral responded with her own tight hug which made Jaune flinch in pain..

"Don't go missing ever again you brat! Do you have any idea how worried we were all these months?!" stated Coral in a shaky tone of voice, as she was feeling overwhelmed by the fact that her little brother was alive all this time..

"I'm sorry.." simply stated Jaune as he let Coral hug him as much as she wants, even if they are hurting his broken arm "I already received an earful from Sapphire, so you don't need to repeat me the same stuff.."

After hugging him for a good minute, Coral cleans her face from the tears she spilled and then looks at Sapphire "Why didn't you tell me that our brother that has been missing for months was here the entire time? you could of have woke me up!"

"I know, I just didn't want to bother you. You came tired from your last mission at the borders of the Kingdom so you deserved to sleep more.." responded Sapphire with a apologetic expression "Besides, Jaune came in early in the morning so I wasn't expecting him to come at all"

"Yep, so it was kinda my fault to come in unannounced.." said the Saiyan with a nervous laugh as he scratches the back of head, similar to a certain Saiyan God within him

"Why don't we talk about this after we finished eating, Jaune must be starving from the waiting" said the eldest Arc sister. At the mention of his name, Jaune's stomach stared to rumble loudly which caught by surprised both Sapphire and Coral as they were staring at Jaune with astonishment..

"Damn little brother, I know you still are a growing boy who needs to eat but I never expected to hear a monster coming from your stomach, must be from that growth spurt you went through" responded Coral with a teasing tone of voice which made Jaune rolled his eyes

"Oh haha, laugh at my hunger Coral" stated the black-haired Saiyan in a sarcastic tone

"Alright both of you calm down, let's go eat before the food gets cold" added Sapphire to the conversation with a smile as she led both Jaune and Coral to the table where all the prepared food is located..

Scene Change.. Few minutes later..

"I knew that Jaune was hungry when I heard his stomach growl.. But I wasn't expecting this" said Sapphire with a astonished expression, not even taking a bite of her breakfast

"Tell me about it! I was only joking when I said his stomach sounds like a monster.." added Coral to the conversation, with the same expression that her sister also held

What caused those expression was how Jaune was eating at rapid speeds that would shock anyone, not only that but he was in his sixth plate of breakfast which baffled the Arc sisters. Never in their lives saw something like this coming from their little brother!

"Just where does that food fit him?!" thought both Sapphire and Coral at the same time, as they kept staring the Saiyan with wide eyes who just finished his last plate of food..

"Wow that was some great food Sapphire! The flavor on it hasn't changed at all.." responded Jaune happily as he puts his empty plate on top of the other plates.. "Too bad that it hasn't filled me enough.. But I don't want to scare them with the amount I eat so I'll just wait until I go back to the Hospital"

"I'm glad that you still love my cooking J-Jaune.." said the eldest Arc sister, still not sure what to say about Jaune's eating habits "So.. When did you get such a strong appetite?"

"Yeah! You just ate triple the amount father eats and he's bigger than you!" added Coral to the conversation, these questions made the black-haired Saiyan scratch the back of his head sheepishly

"I like said before, my appetite became bigger through my travels before arriving to Vale.. Maybe it has to do that now my Aura is unlocked?" half-lied Jaune towards his sisters, it was true that his appetite become bigger in his travels because that's when he fully became a Saiyan..

"Speaking of Aura.. I think it's time to address the elephant in the room" responded Coral seriously towards her little brother "I know that your dream has always been becoming a Huntsman, but escaping from Ansel and travel all the way to Vale without any formal training or even Aura unlocked, just so you can enter the Academy is certainly a stupid decision from you Jaune.."

"Indeed, you could have been killed from a low-level Grimm at any moment.. The only reason you are still alive is that you somehow manage to unlock your Aura in your travels" added Sapphire to the conversation

"Actually, I didn't unlocked my Aura until Beacon.." stated Jaune casually which made both of her sisters drop their jaws in shock "I was trained by my master who taught me how to survive in the wilderness.."

"Impossible! People can't survive outside the borders without any Aura to protect them!" exclaimed the second eldest Arc, not believing Jaune's story

"Well I wouldn't be standing here talking to both of you if that was true.." responded back the black-haired Saiyan with a smirk on his face, feeling proud that he's one of the few people who can survive outside the borders without Aura..

"Then who trained you? It must have been a Huntsman who is experience in survival.." asked Sapphire with curiosity, wanting to know who is the mysterious man that trained his little brother

If she finds him one day, she would thank him for saving him..

"His name is Son Goku, he found me when I was surrounded by Grimm and he defeated them with his own fist, no need of weapons at all! He taught me how to properly fight as a Martial Artist for the next two months before I enrolled into Beacon, it was thanks to his training that I was able to become something I can be proud of, which is to become a Huntsman and a Hero!" responded Jaune proudly, he might have lied in the beginning since it was him who defeated those Grimm but thanks to Goku he has been able to push himself to the limits and become strong..

He was the first one to believe that he could become a Hero and a Huntsman..

"Wow little brother, he must be really powerful to get you into a competent level of skill.." said Coral with interest, as she recalls the conversation she had with his friends back at the hospital three weeks ago.. "I really want to see if all those skills you learned are real.."

"Coral! Don't even think about in challenging Jaune! Can't you see that he's still recovering from his injuries!?" exclaimed the eldest Arc sister as she points out the bandages that Jaune has around his body

"It's okay Sapphire.. If she wants to know what I'm capable off then I'll gladly show my abilities!" responded the Saiyan with excitement, as he was letting his primal side take over "Just give me a few weeks to heal properly and then I'll prove that I have become stronger.."

"Careful Jaune, a Professional Huntress like myself can beat a first year in training with ease.." exclaimed back Coral with a small smirk on her face, even if Jaune had gotten stronger thanks to this 'Goku' guy, he wouldn't be able to match her at all! Hell it wouldn't even be considered a spar..

"That might be true if I was a Human.. However, I'm a Saiyan who can become stronger each time I'm healed from a near-death experience. When I'm healed I'll be able to fight her in equal ground or even surpass her with my Semblance!" said the black-haired Saiyan within his mind, excited at the fact that he would be fighting another powerful opponent. Coral might not be a Top-Class Huntress like Rob Lucci but she was a damn strong Professional Huntress, her weapon Freikugel along with her Semblance made her a dangerous foe..

"Anyways.. I wanted to ask you some questions Jaune" stated Sapphire in a casual tone of voice towards her brother "What's with the black hair, why did you dyed it to black when you could have kept your blonde hair?"

"I agree with Sapphire, and also what's with the black cloak? Kinda makes you look like an edge-lord" added Coral to the conversation, this comment of course made Jaune pout in annoyance since he thought that wearing a black cloak makes you look cool "Why don't you take off that cloak? after all it gets hot in this apartment.."

"I rather not take off my cloak Coral, not because I don't want to but because I'm not wearing any clothes underneath it.." responded Jaune embarrassed, unfortunately his Team forgot yesterday to bring some spare clothes he could of have wore instead of the hospital ones, so the Saiyan was force to buy a cloak to cover his entire body.. Another reason was because it covers his tail which he was not planning to show to them at the moment "About my hair.. Let's just say that I kinda idolized my master too much that I adopted his hairstyle"

"Hmm.. That might explain as to why you have all of the sudden spiky hair at the back of your head" said the eldest Arc sister with curiosity "But what about the eyepatch..?"

"I... Would you believe me that my eye changed color all of the sudden?" asked the Saiyan towards Sapphire which took her by surprise, she was about respond back but Coral beat her to it..

"You're kidding right?! It's impossible for someone to change their color of their eyes unless they are born with it or their Semblance is the cause of it.. And I know for a fact that you were born with a pair of blue eyes like the rest of us" exclaimed the second eldest Arc towards Jaune, not believing what he's saying is true...

"Well, your about to be in shock then.." said the black-haired Saiyan as he removed his eyepatch and exposes his lone silver eye he gained after Goku fused his soul with his.. This of course shocked both of his sisters

"Holy shit.. You weren't kidding, it looks like the real deal to me.." responded Coral in awe as she kept staring at his silver-eye

"Indeed.. How did you manage to obtain a silver eye Jaune?" asked Sapphire with a concern expression in her face "What happened to your original color, I doubt that this was cause of a natural development"

"I wish I could tell you more but that's all I know about this.." responded back Jaune with a weak smile on his face, rather feeling bad that he didn't tell them how he actually got his Silver eye, he rather not look like a insane person and being forced to go back to Ansel because of it

Before Sapphire or Coral could say anything, Jaune's scroll went off like an alarm which interrupted the conversation. The Saiyan pulls out his scroll to turn off the alarm and notices the time which made his eyes go wide comically

"Shit! I only have ten minutes before Ms. Liz checks me up at my hospital room!" thought the black-haired Saiyan comically as he stood up quickly from his chair which caught the attention of his sisters "I'm sorry Sapphire! Coral! but I need to leave soon!"

"And where do you think your going? Are you trying to evade more questions from us?" asked the eldest Arc sister with a suspicious glance towards her brother

"No not at all! It's just that I have to do something important and I could get in trouble if I don't go back!" responded back Jaune with some sense of urgency towards her sister.

"...You escaped from the Hospital without permission didn't you?" asked Coral with a deadpanned expression, which makes the black-haired Saiyan coughs nervously

"Um.. No?! What makes you think that I would escape from the Hospital?!" said Jaune with a nervous expression towards Coral who seems that she didn't believe his statement, the same could be said for Sapphire who was staring at him. With a tired sigh he gave up the lie and responded "Alright fine! I escaped from the Hospital.."

"Do you realize how much in trouble you can get from doing something like that?!" exclaimed Sapphire with a annoyed expression towards Jaune who laughed nervously at her. This just made the eldest Arc sister sigh tiredly "I knew that hanging out with Saphron you would tend to pick up a thing or two from her.. Besides, She was a troublesome kid back then.."

"Sorry.. I promise I won't do something like that again unless is absolutely necessary" stated the black-haired Saiyan towards Sapphire and Coral, unfortunately it seems that the both of them didn't believe him..

"Hmm.. Somehow I highly doubt that.." responded Coral with her arms crossed as she was staring at Jaune with a deadpanned expression

"Alright Coral, stop bothering him. I think he already got the message across" said Sapphire towards her sister who just shrugged her shoulders. The eldest Arc gaze then landed at her little brother "Jaune, I think you should go back to the Hospital. I really don't wanna hear that you got in trouble with them.."

"Okay! I'll talk to you girls later!" exclaimed Jaune as he stared to lightly jog towards the exit..

"Don't forget to call Mother and let her know that your going back to Ansel to visit her this upcoming weekend!" shouted the eldest Arc sister towards Jaune who just gave her a thumbs up and left the apartment, thus leaving the two sisters by themselves

"That Jaune.. He might have changed when it comes to physical appearance but he still acts like a goofball" said Coral with a nostalgic smile as she remembers some instances when Jaune used to act like that back then when he was a kid..

"Yeah... However, I'm worried about his subtle actions.." responded Sapphire in concern which caught the attention of her sister

"What do you mean?" asked Coral in curiosity

"When you were sleeping, I told him about father being missing. He immediately wanted to travel to Anima by himself and look for him despite being badly injured.." said the blonde-haired Huntress "Another fact to add is that he also looked like he hasn't slept well.. It could be one of the main reasons as to why he acted so rashly about father being missing"

"Hmm.. Now that you mention it I could see that he had small eye bags on his face.." commented back Coral with a thinking expression

"But that's not all, there's another fact that has me concern.." added Sapphire to the conversation as she stares at Coral "He stared to crack his finger loudly.."

"Wait don't you mean...?!" exclaimed the second eldest sister in shock

"Yeah.. He only did that when he was having nightmares ten years ago" said the blonde-haired Huntress with a serious expression "Jaune would have those nightmares for months until it disappeared all of the sudden. He told me that by cracking his fingers he calms himself down.."

"You know, he never told us or even the others about how he stared to have those nightmares.." stated Coral with a saddened expression "Maybe it was because we were at the Academy studying to become Huntresses, we only found out about his nightmares when we came back to Ansel for break"

"True.. Whatever is consuming Jaune we have to get into of this.." exclaimed Sapphire with determination on her face. Back then she might not had the time to know about her brother's problem thanks of her being in the Academy, but this she was determined to find out what was consuming his thoughts..

Along with other things like his physical change because it was impossible to get into Beacon with just two months of training! She didn't wanted to asked him because he would likely not respond or he would snap at her..

"What are you hiding little brother..?"

Scene Change.. Hours later.. Jaune's Mindscape..

After his daily check-up with Elizabeth and changing his bandages to clean one. Jaune decided to use this free time to train with Goku inside his mind, not wanting to be left behind by the others. In these couple of hours his training consisted in mastering Taekwondo to it's fullest extend, so he won't need to rely on his arms which are still injured and will need some time to recover. Not only he was training in bettering his technique as a Martial Artist but also he was strength-based exercises with wristbands on his legs that weighted two tons each piece, at first it was very difficult to even move but thanks to his Saiyan biology that allows him to adapt fast he was able to do these strength-based exercises normally..

Despite not feeling any increase of his Mana yet, Jaune could definitely feel that he was getting stronger and sharper when it comes to physical strength. He was confident enough that a week of practicing with the heavy wristbands and sparring with Goku he would be able to go on equal grounds with Yang or even surpass her with just pure strength alone, that's including her Semblance as well..

He was so glad that being a Saiyan allowed him to develop at a crazy speed.. Just imagining how strong he would get when he gains his Zenkai on top of the training he's doing just motivated him to become even stronger so he could reach his dream as Huntsman..

However, another new reason Jaune was working much harder this time is that his father, Nicholas Arc is missing. He couldn't fathom that someone as strong as his father who is a Top-Class Huntsman could of have disappear out of nowhere. Jaune hated the fact that he couldn't do anything at the moment thanks to his injuries and not having enough Mana to protect himself..

He needed to get more stronger so when he's completely healed he would be ready to fight whatever bastard that took his father without needing to abuse his Aura Amplification..

"998...! 999...! ...1000!" shouted a shirtless Jaune as he was doing one-hand push-ups with his un-broken arm. After he was done the Saiyan did a one-hand stand, followed by a front flip in which he landed in a standing position but with difficulties thanks to the weighted wristbands on his legs "Phew! That was more difficult than I thought.."

"Well that's because you're wearing four tons of weight in total on your legs" commented the Saiyan God of Universe 7th who was a few inches away from Jaune watching his training with his arms crossed

"True, but I need to increase my strength quickly if I want to become stronger than ever" responded the black-haired Arc as he stared to throw a flurry of kicks into the air, so his legs can be more adapt to the weight "Besides, My father is out there missing or even capture in Anima by who knows who, so I need to get stronger so I won't lose against the person who defeated him.."

"And that's good and all.. But I recommend you at least take a break every once in a while. Training your body non-stop in your mindscape can be bad in the long-run if you think about it, all that muscle memory that you gained will be transfer into your physical body and it will be too overwhelming for you that your mind could shut off.." stated Goku with a serious expression in his face. He knew very well that his student/friend was taking his training more seriously after the news of his father's disappearance so he decided to train more harder. It reminded him of the situations he has been in the past like his 6-day training trip to Namek where he torture his body to the point he mastered the Earth's Gravity Times 100..

He couldn't tell Jaune to stop training like that because he also did it in the past. He just needed to take a break so his mind can process all the muscle memory he gains from training here..

"I'll cross that bridge when we get there, but for now I want to keep training" responded Jaune casually as he got into his Taekwondo stance "Come on Goku! I want to spar for a bit, I need to get used to these weighted wristbands"

"Alright, suit yourself.. But remember use only your strength.." responded the silver-haired Saiyan with a smirk on his as he got into his own Taekwondo stance. Both student and master were staring at each other intensely for a couple of seconds, however that silence was broken when Jaune shouted

"Geppou!" exclaimed the black-haired Saiyan as he kicks the floor multiple times in a single second which allowed him to rush at Goku in incredible speeds. However, the Saiyan God as calm enough that he didn't even bother to go on the offensive for obvious reasons.. As Jaune was closing by, he was about to deliver a roundhouse kick at Goku, the Saiyan God gracefully blocks it with a single finger which made Jaune grit his teeth in annoyance. Without stopping his momentum Jaune followed up by delivering another powerful kick, unfortunately Goku easily dodges as he slightly jumps back..

"Come on Jaune! I thought you were better than this! Don't you want to get stronger?!" taunted Goku at the black-haired Saiyan, these words slightly made Jaune frustrated as he gave a warrior roar and rushes at Goku. Jaune stared to give a barrage of kicks that look blurry for the human eye, but in Goku's eyes those kicks look as slow as a turtle and it didn't help that his Ultra Instinct was allowing body to block and dodge all of Jaune's attack gracefully..

"Oum damn his Ultra Instinct! If only I had enough energy or even stamina to activate mines..!" said Jaune to himself frustrated as he jumps back to get some space which made the Saiyan God raised an eyebrow

"What's the matter? Giving up?" asked Goku with confusion as he crossed his arms casually "You know, you could have a better chance if you remove those four tons on your legs.."

"Just because my speed is reduced by these weights that doesn't mean I will give up yet! On the contrary! We are just getting stared!" exclaimed Jaune with excited grin on his face, as he extended both of his arm and stared to created multiple blurry versions of himself around Goku

"The Zanzoken..." said Goku out-loud as he closed both of his eyes "You know Jaune, I gotta give it to you.. With your power level still being slightly stronger than when I participated in my first tournament, you are able to preform a technique like the Zanzoken with so much weight on you meanwhile I had to removed all my extra weight to just preform it.. It just goes to show how much you have improve!"

"Unfortunately for you, you still haven't mastered the Zanzoken to surprise me" stated the Saiyan God as he appeared in-front of a blurry Jaune he knew it was the real one and went for a fist attack. However, what he didn't expect was his punch to go through the blurry Jaune which meant it wasn't the real one, this of course brought a surprised expression into Goku's face "What the..!?"

"OVER HERE!" shouted Jaune from behind as he was about to deliver a powerful kick at Goku's face. The Saiyan God however quickly blocks it with one of his arms, their collision created a shockwave that if were to preform in the outside world it could have created a small earthquake in their surroundings..

"Tch..!" was the sound the black-haired Saiyan made as he jumps back to get some space "I thought I had him there but of course his Ultra Instinct would block it.."

"I have to admit Jaune, I was impressed by that last move! I was sure that I had caught you but it seems I was wrong" said Goku in a surprised tone of voice, but he had a wide smile on his face. This was the second time he was fooled by Jaune's Zanzoken but the difference is that he didn't used his Silver Eye to gain a slight advantage

He was progressively getting better

"Well to tell you the truth, you almost got me there Goku.. The thing is I preformed another technique at the last moment which made look similar to the Zanzoken" responded Jaune with a smirk on his face "A technique that I took straight out of Rob Lucci, Soru!"

At the mention of it's name, Jaune disappeared from the spot he was and reappears behind Goku but not facing him (A/N: This scene is similar in where Goku and Frieza were next to each other but were facing at a opposite direction)

"I see.. That's a neat technique, similar to the Hiraishingiri you learned back at Shion" stated the Saiyan God with a smile, as he was feeling proud that Jaune was learning faster than before

"Yeah, I thought I would have difficulties in preforming it but the concept is more simple than the Hiraishingiri so I was able to do it.." responded Jaune with his own smile.. "Hey, why don't we keep going? I'm feeling confident that I can get catch you off-guard despite being millions of times stronger than me"

"Don't get too cocky Jaune! I won't fall for the same trick twice.." exclaimed back Goku with a excited grin on his face. Despite Jaune not having the same power level as his and he doubt he would even reach his unless he's trained by Whis, but his uniqueness in using techniques like Geppou, Zanzoken or even Soru can bring some excitement into these spars..

At this both Goku and Jaune jump away from each other and went back to their respective fighting position they stared with. Without wasting time both Saiyans went back to their sparing session, however what both didn't notice was Shiro's unconscious body was staring to emit a small darkish Aura thus surrounding his body..

Scene Change... Vale's Downtown..

"Oooh! I can't wait to see the Fearless One!" exclaimed Nora with clear happiness in her tone voice, as she was walking in downtown Vale along with the rest of Team RYBN where Jaune was currently resting "I bet he would be excited at seeing us again!"

"He better be!" responded Yang with a smile, she as well was excited in seeing Lover Boy awake from his coma. According to what Ruby told them yesterday when they came back from the hospital, he was able to walk already which meant his recovery was going smoothly "He still owns me a date to the nightclub"

"Don't you think that's unnecessary?" said Blake with a deadpanned expression towards Yang "He barely just woke up from his coma, I doubt he would want to go to a nightclub right after he gets out from the hospital"

"Nah! I doubt it! Lover Boy would rather be doing something instead of being in bed doing nothing but recover" responded the blonde bombshell casually towards Blake who just rolled her eyes and kept walking next to her partner..

Meanwhile, behind the three Huntresses-in-training Ren was walking with a stoic expression. However, his train of thoughts were completely focused on the events that transpire three weeks ago in the Underworld and the aftermath..

"I'm glad that Jaune has been conscious since yesterday if what Team JSPR said was true.. Unfortunately, that doesn't answer the fact that we weren't ready to face the opponents back in the Underworld.. If it wasn't for Jaune or even those two Huntresses who got us out we would have been dead.." said the leader of Team RYBN as he quietly clenches his right fist. Frustrated at the fact that he wasn't able to save his teammates/friends from an impending doom by himself.. Ren has been training his fighting technique, sensing abilities, Aura and Semblance for the last three weeks so he would be ready for stronger enemies in the future..

He needed to be a strong leader protect his team when they need him.. Just like Jaune..

"What are you Jaune Arc..? How are you so strong when you have the same age as us..!" thought Ren within his mind as he slightly bit his lip, trying to come up with an answer that makes sense but came with nothing

"Hey Ren, you alright there bud? You been really quiet this whole trip" asked Yang with curiosity as she, Nora and Blake stopped walking as they stared at him

"Yeah Renny! Is there something wrong? You know you can trust us" asked the orange-haired girl with genuine concern to her childhood friend. Blake just nodded at their statements since she was curious as to why Ren was acting more quiet than usual

"It's nothing.. I was just wondering how Jaune would react by our surprise visit" lied Ren towards his team-mates but kept his stoic-expression which won't give away his true feelings, luckily it seems that they bought his lie easily

"I bet he's going to be happy that his friends are visiting him by surprise!" responded the blonde brawler with a grin as she puts both of her hands behind her neck "According to Rubes, he was wondering why we didn't come with them yesterday"

"Speaking of Ruby, where is Team JSPR anyways? They weren't at their dorms when we looked for them.." asked Nora out loud, wondering where their 'sister' team was

"They volunteer to patrol at the Docks. With criminal activity on the rise thanks to the collapse of the Underworld, the Docks became a hotspot for thieves to steal goods that came from the other Kingdoms" answered Blake about the absent of Team JSPR, the only reason she knew about this is because she overheard their conversation as she was passing by the hallways

Faunus enhancing-hearing can be really useful for hearing conversations..

"So they are going to be busy for a bit huh.." concluded Yang as she got into a thinking position for a few seconds until she spoke up again "Who would of thought that the collapse of a criminal structure could cause such chaos around the city"

"None of us knew that this would happened.." commented Ren with a serious expression "All we can do for now is to help in what we can.."

"Indeed.." said the black-haired beauty with the same expression Ren has on his face "We need to be on our guard as well, who knows what kind of criminal would be after us"

"Come on guys! Can we not talk about what's going on around Vale, I'm tired of hearing it for the last few weeks!" complained Nora towards the group "We are supposed to have fun visiting Jaune!"

At first nobody said anything for a couple until Ren stared to chuckle which attracted the attention from the three girls

"You're right Nora, let's drop this conversation and visit Jaune.." commented the pink-eyed leader with a soft smile at Nora, without wasting more time he stared to walk where the hospital is located, followed by Nora who had a happy expression on her face, feeling glad that her childhood friend wasn't acting all broody..

"Well... That was a sudden one-eighty our dear leader pull off" stated Yang out-loud as she watches both Ren and Nora walking towards the hospital "Come on Blake! Let's go before they hog lover-boy all by themselves..!"

"Right.." simply said the black-haired Faunus as she followed her partner "Ren seems to be hiding his true thoughts about Jaune and the situation we went through a few weeks ago.. It's good to know that I'm not the only who has similar thoughts"

After walking silently for a couple of minutes, Team RYBN arrived to the hospital where Jaune was staying for the time being. After a quick check-in for visitors the students made their way towards Jaune's room. When they reached their destination, Yang was the one to knock the door so she could make sure 'Lover-boy' was awake

"The door is unlocked!" shouted a familiar voice from the other side. With a smile on her face, Yang and the rest of her team opened the door and were received by a surprising sight they weren't expecting..

Next to the bed, Team RYBN saw Jaune Arc doing one-hand push ups shirtless and just wearing his hospital pants.. Despite Yang and even Blake blushing at the sight of the Saiyan well-toned body, they were still baffle at the fact that Jaune was training despite just waking up from his coma yesterday..

"He's doing one-hand push ups like it's nothing despite just waking up from his coma?!" thought Ren amazed as his gaze was clearly focused on the Saiyan "Is this the type of training he goes through to get strong? Or could it be that he's not a mere Faunus and his unique body allows him to do that..?"

"Holy shit! I always wondered what kind of training Jaune went through since he's clearly more stronger than us" said Yang within her mind as she was staring at Saiyan "But I never was expecting this, training with such injuries.. However, I can't deny that it has done wonders to his hot body.."

"Wow... Even his body structure reminds me of the protagonist description from Ninjas of Love Vol. 4..." thought Blake with a tint of red in her cheeks, however she shook those thoughts away quickly "Wait! I shouldn't even be thinking about that! How is Jaune able to train like this when he's still recovering?!"

"Badass!" was the word that went through Nora's mind at seeing Jaune working out with a broken arm

"999... 1000...!" shouted the black-haired Saiyan as he easily stood up from his push-up position, wiping the sweat out of his face. Jaune then suddenly noticed that he was being watched by different expressions from Team RYBN that he decided to break the silence "Hey guys! Sorry that I didn't noticed all of you, I was really concentrated in my training.."

However, Jaune was interrupted by the sudden excited shout from Nora as she launches herself and hugs the Saiyan tightly which made him feel the pain from his arm "Oh come on! Not again!"

"Oh fearless one! How we missed you so much! I'm glad that you're okay!" exclaimed the orange-haired girl, not noticing that she was crushing Jaune with her strength

"Nora.. Can't breath.." said Jaune in pain as he was having some difficulties breathing and it didn't help that his broken arm was hurting from the pressure..

"Nora, let go of Jaune. Your crushing him with your strength" stated Ren calmly towards his partner who notice that Jaune had a pained expression which made the orange-haired girl quickly let go

"Sorry Jaune..." said Nora shyly towards the black-haired Saiyan who just smiled back at her as he adjusted his broken arm into a comfortable position again

"It's alright Nora, you were just excited in seeing me awake again. Besides, your not the only one who has done it" responded Jaune as he scratches the back of his neck casually

"Glad to have you back into the living world lover-boy" commented Yang happily as she walks towards where Jaune was standing and gave him a warming hug, in which he replies back with one of his own "By the way, you still own me a date to the nightclub.."

"I know.. When I get better we'll go somewhere to have fun" responded Jaune with a grin on his face, as he remembered the fond memories he had when he went out with Yang for the first time.. Meanwhile, the blonde-haired girl just grinned with excitement at hearing his comment

"It's good that your awake now Jaune.." responded Ren with a small smile as he extended his arm to shake Jaune's hand, in which the Saiyan responded with a smile on his face as he shook Ren's hand with his 'good' arm

"Indeed, we're glad that your recovering faster than expected" added Blake in a stoic tone of voice, but the black-haired Arc notice a small smile forming on Blake's face which meant that she was relieved that he was okay

"Thank you everyone for visiting me.. I'm just glad that I have a group of people that I consider my friends despite being in another team.." exclaimed Jaune with happiness towards Team RYBN who nodded at his comment with a positive expression. However, Jaune's expression formed into a frowning expression "However, I also want to say I'm sorry from dragging you into such dangerous place like the Underworld, specially to Yang and Nora who gained scars from fighting criminals in my behalf, it must have been a traumatic experience.."

"No need to be sorry Jaune-Jaune! We're friends after all, and friends are supposed to look for each others back even if we have to risk our lives.." responded the orange-haired girl wisely as she was staring at the Saiyan "I won't deny that I was afraid of dying against that leopard Faunus and it has gave me some nightmares in the first days. However, if I have to go through it again to save you Jaune then I won't back down until I have rescue you or anyone else that is my friend..!"

"Nora.." murmured Jaune in awe, not expecting a speech like this from the hyperactive member of Team RYBN

"Besides, I gained small badass scars around my neck! It makes the other students who spar with me at the professor's class to be intimidated.." added Nora proudly as she points out her small scars on her neck that she gained from Lucci, Jaune also noted that Weiss probably also has new similar scars around her neck after being choked by the Assassin

Just remembering that scene made him more angrier that he just wanted to 'pay' him back for the same price. Despite not showing his anger through his expression, Blake and to some extension Ren notice how the Saiyan cracked his finger loudly, which reminded them of the same action he did in Port's class the first day

Before Jaune could continue with his dark train of thoughts Yang spoke up once more "I couldn't said it better myself. Look Jaune, the reason we went through all of that to save is because we consider you a good friend.. I know you would do anything in your power to save one of use as well if we were in danger.."

"O-Of course! I wouldn't hesitate to save any of you from danger!" exclaimed Jaune with vigor towards the blonde-haired girl who felt relieved at hearing his comment, despite knowing that he would say that

"There's your answer, you would do the same thing for us so it feels right to respond back by doing the same" stated Yang with her arms crossed under her chest

"I would also like to add that even if you weren't our friend and you were just a mere innocent bystander we would have save you. Huntsman are the beacon of hope in this dangerous world where normal people can't defend themselves so it's our responsibility to bring them protection from the Grimm and criminals" added the pink-eyed leader with a wise tone of voice, despite Blake not saying anything about the matter at hand she agreed with everything they were saying so far, so she just nodded at their statement

"You guys.. I really don't know what say, I'll say it once again thank you for saving me and helping my team.." stated the black-haired Saiyan as he slightly bows at Team RYBN "I'll try to find a way to repay all of you someway"

"Well, you can start repaying me by saying what caused you get kidnapped in first place" said Blake with a serious expression towards Jaune who's eyes went slightly wide at her request. However, he wasn't the only one who was surprised by such comment

"I wasn't expecting Blake to ask that question.. I was planning to ask him the same thing in private so he won't be dealing with the pressure from others but, it seems that we get to learn what truly happened.." thought Ren with a serious expression as he slightly looks at Jaune with a suspicious glance

"Blake?!" exclaimed Yang with a shocked expression as she was staring at her partner "Don't you that's a personal question? He might not know how he even got to the Underworld"

"I think it's a fair deal to be honest. We infiltrated to one of the most dangerous place in the Kingdom to save Jaune, at least we deserve to know what made him get capture by dangerous criminals like Torchwick.." responded back the black-haired Faunus with a calm tone, however this just made Yang and even Nora get slightly irritated at Blake

"Oh man.. I wasn't expecting such a specific question from you Blake, to be honest I was expecting Ren to ask me that since he's the leader.." said Jaune with a nervous smile towards Blake, however the Saiyan's expression turned into a serious one as he spoke up again "You guys deserve to know the truth after saving my life, besides I already told my team about it so I see no harm in telling all of you what I know.."

"Wait lover-boy! Before you start explaining don't you think you should put on a shirt? I mean not that I mind of course!" asked Yang somewhat nervously as she felt her cheek get slightly red at seeing his body, she will never get used to it at this rate..

"I wish I could, but my hospital shirt right now is being washed by one of the nurses so I have nothing on me.." responded Jaune towards the blonde-haired girl "I could use my black coat that I wore early in the morning but that will bring unwanted attention from them.."

"I'll doubt the rest of us would get distracted from you being shirtless.." commented Ren neutrally, not even realizing that Yang and even Blake once in a while kept gazing at him, specifically his body..

"Welp, it can't be bothered" simply said the Saiyan as he sat down on his bed "I recommend you guys to sit down, it will take a while to tell the truth"

At hearing his comment, Team RYBN grabbed a couple of chairs and sat around where Jaune was sitting and staring at them directly

"Let's start from the beginning so you guys can understand why I was 'captured'.." with that, the eye-patched Saiyan stared to tell the same story he gave to his Team yesterday, his childhood being tormented at school and neglected by his parents who would always go on Hunting quests, being tortured by a hockey-masked man which made Blake's eyes go wide for a second, repressing his true thoughts and locked them away in the depths of his mind, so he could create a more happier version of himself for his goals in the future which is to become a Hero by going to the academy..

Of course this angered and sickened the members of Team RYBN, finding it hard to believe that such a despicable person could torture a child.. Even Blake was disgusted and angry at this since she knew personally who that 'hockey-masked' person

After all, she used to be Adam's right hand in the White Fang branch of Vale so she knew the high-ranked people in the organization

Jaune also told them that he wasn't always this strong and few months he was a weakling, which made Team RYBN ask questions as to how he got so strong, not believing that it was possible to get stronger in such short time. So Jaune told the same thing he told his team, he went through some type of 'metamorphosis' that changed one of his eye colors to silver and allowed him to become stronger in such a short time, of course he showed to them his Silver-eye that was being covered by his eye-patch to prove his point

Then the black-haired Saiyan dropped the bomb of forging his transcripts so he could get into Beacon Academy, to say that Team RYBN was shocked at hearing this was an understatement. Jaune could see in their expression screaming 'impossible' or 'explain yourself', similar to the reactions his team had

The silver and blue-eyed Saiyan explained that the only way for him to get into Beacon was with forged transcripts, because he didn't want to wait another year to start his huntsmen career

"Now that I think about it more carefully. It really was selfish from my part in involving everyone just because I wanted to get into Beacon this year.." stated Jaune with shame as he stared down at he floor for a couple of seconds until he looked up at Team RYBN "I won't be mad if you guys don't want to associate with me anymore.."

"Why would we want to stop talking to you?" asked Nora genuinely to the Saiyan who's eyes went wide at hearing her comment "Didn't I mention already that we are friends..!"

"But you guys should be mad at me! You guys had to risk your lives to save me because of my petty actions in getting into the Academy!" exclaimed confused the black-haired Arc towards Nora

"Jaune, we decided as a Team to help Team JSPR to rescue you from the Underworld because we consider you as our friend.." explained Yang with her arms crossed and a serious expression "Even if what got you there was your selfish actions to get into Beacon, we just couldn't leave you alone there.."

"Besides! me and Ren have done some selfish actions in the past just to get where we at right now, so don't feel ashamed that you got into Beacon illegally! Either way, you're already strong enough and an awesome leader that Beacon wouldn't get rid of you!" added once again Nora to the conversation, along with Ren who nodded at her comment with a small smile..

"Some of us have done actions in the past that could be considered 'immoral' in the public eye, but we knew it was the only way to achieve our goals.." commented the amber-eyed Faunus towards Jaune who just kept listening to their statements

"What she said! So don't go all mopey on us lover-boy, it doesn't suits you!" responded the blonde-haired brawler with a grin as she puts a hand around Jaune's shoulder "Also, take off that eyepatch! There's no need to hide it from us anymore since you already told everyone about it!"

The black-haired Saiyan just smiled softly at Yang's comment as he removes his eyepatch, thus revealing his silver eye.. "Thank you guys.. I'm glad that I can call you my friends despite what I put everyone through in the Underworld"

"Just don't try to get into much trouble from now on" commented Ren in a joking tone, along with a small smile on his face towards Jaune

"Can't make any promises!" responded back the Saiyan with a grin on his face, this comment made the members of Team RYBN laugh at his 'joke', including Blake who usually doesn't show a lot of emotions was softly chuckling..

After that heavy conversation, Jaune and the rest of Team RYBN discussed what transpired the last few weeks meanwhile he was in a coma. Obviously Nora was exaggerating the events that went down but Ren and sometimes Yang would butt in and say what truly happened, which made the orange-haired girl pout cutely in annoyance.. Without realizing it, their casual conversation lasted almost to sundown..

"Holy crap, we have been for hours talking with Jaune that we haven't even realized it until now!" exclaimed Yang with a surprised expression as she looks at the clock that is located above the door

"Indeed.. If we don't go back soon then we might miss the last Bullhead going to Beacon" commented Ren calmly towards his team-mates who just nodded at his comment, then he looks back at the black-haired Arc "Unfortunately we have to cut our visit short Jaune.."

"That's okay Ren, I understand you guys have to go back to the Academy.." responded back Jaune as he was sitting down on his bed "Either way I'll see you guys tomorrow since I'm going to be discharged by the hospital"

"That's right! I totally forgot that fearless one is coming back to Beacon tomorrow!" exclaimed Nora with excitement "We should throw him a welcome party!"

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea.." said Yang in a thinking position as she then turns her gaze at the black-haired Saiyan "What do you think Jaune? Are you down for the idea?"

"Of course! As long as there is good food and we have a good time then I don't mind..!" responded Jaune with a grin on his face

"Then it's settle, we should go buy the food and drinks now before we miss the Bullhead to the Academy" stated Ren as he stared to make his way towards the door "We'll see you tomorrow Jaune.."

"Bye fearless one!" said Nora with a cheerful expression as she hugs the Saiyan tightly, without realizing that she was hurting his broken arm again. After finishing hugging the martial artist, Yang was next as she gave him a more careful hug so she could not hurt him, followed by a quick peck in his cheek which surprised the Arc fighter.

"Goodbye lover-boy, don't forget you still own me a date in the nightclub.." replied Yang in a teasing tone as she winks at the Saiyan before walking to the door. Before the blonde-haired huntress left the room she noticed that Blake was still standing in the same position, not even moving an inch.. "Hey Blake? Aren't you coming with us?"

"Just wait for me at the entrance of the hospital. I just need to ask Jaune a question in private.." responded Blake towards Yang who was slightly surprised by the sudden request, even Jaune was wondering why the quiet member of Team RYBN wanted to talk to him..

"Oh okay.. Just don't take too long.." said the blonde-haired brawler somewhat suspicious as looked at Blake one last time before leaving the room and closing the door, thus leaving the two huntsman-in-training alone..

"Is there something you need Blake? I'm surprised that you wanted to ask me something in private, knowing you this must be important" asked Jaune with seriousness but at the same time with curiosity

"Indeed, there's something important I need to talk to you about Jaune... or should I say King of Vale's Underworld.." responded Blake with a serious expression towards Jaune who's eyes went wide, but his face morphed into a stone cold expression as he stood up from his bed in wariness..

"How do you know that information..?" asked the Saiyan coldly towards Blake who kept her own serious expression

"You're not the only one who has to keep dark secrets from everyone.." simply said the amber-eyed huntress as she stared to remove her bow and reveal an extra set of ears, this action of course surprised Jaune as he wasn't expecting it

"You been a Faunus this whole time?" asked Jaune towards Blake who silently nodded at his question "Why are you hiding you're heritage from your team? I mean why showing it to me when I'm not even in your team"

"I'm still not ready to reveal to them about my heritage, the only reason I'm revealing it to you is because you're the only person who can help me in this situation so I made an exception" responded the cat Faunus towards the Saiyan "The reason I know your identity as King is because I used to worked in the Underworld as part of the White Fang.."

"The White Fang..?" murmured Jaune in shock, finding it hard to believe that someone quiet as Blake was part of a terrorist organization that tortured him ten years ago.. "Wait! That means that she knows him.."

Just thinking about that person made him grit his teeth tightly, followed by cracking his index finger to calm himself down. He needed to calm down before he does something that he will regret, just because Blake knew his torturer personally that doesn't mean that he will blame her for what he did to him..

"Before you continue that train of thought, just because I knew 'Jason' personally that doesn't mean I agree with his actions. Torturing children for his sick pleasure, to believe that such despicable person is a lieutenant of the White Fang.." commented Blake darkly with a sneer on her face..

"So.. What do you need my help for as King of Vale's Underworld?" asked Jaune as he wanted to get straight to the point, his cold gaze staring at Blake's "If you think I'll help those bastards after what they did to me then you can forget it.."

"I'm not asking you to help the White Fang, even I know you wouldn't lend a hand after what they did to you.." responded Blake calmly, despite being bothered by that comment that Jaune made about the White Fang she didn't show any facial expression.. "What I'm asking is to help me track the moves of the White Fang. In the last month, they have gone strangely quiet so they must be planning something big.."

"I see, so you need my help as King to track down the movements from the White Fang?" stated Jaune with a serious expression towards the ex-White Fang member who nodded at his question "But what do I gained from this? Why should I help you track down the movements of an organization that I hate.."

"By helping me tracking down the White Fang's movement, I'll work as your shadow to collect intel about anyone from the Underworld of Vale. You're still a new King so you don't know what the position entails and you need all the help if you want to survive such position, by having me on your side it will make things easier for us. Trust me when I say the Criminal World is more dangerous and complicated than you think.." explained Blake her proposition towards Jaune who got into a thinking position

"By helping Blake tracking down the White Fang movement's, she will help me get used to my position as King of Vale's Underworld which can result a great benefit for me since she knows what truly goes on in the Criminal World. As much as I accept the help from Torchwick and Neo, they are still thieves who can't be trusted and I need allies that won't betray me if things starts to get troublesome.. Maybe Blake could help me find the whereabouts of my father" said the Saiyan within his mind as he was thinking the benefits of accepting Blake's aid "Yes.. She could be a great ally.."

"What is your decision Jaune?" said Blake with a stoic expression towards Jaune who looked back at her with a serious expression

"I accept your proposition. I'll help you track down the White Fang movements as long as you help me get used to my position as King." responded back Jaune towards the amber-eyed girl who slightly nodded with satisfaction "Since we are going to be helping each other in the long run, I will tell you what my plans are.."

"Then let's hear it.." said Blake as she stared to hear Jaune's plan of controlling the entirety of the Underworld so he can prevent more violence and riots on the streets. It was a noble plan but it was going to be difficult to achieve it, however if this is for the benefit of the people, then she will try to help Jaune achieve his goal. As long as he keeps his word in tracking down the White Fang, she won't mind helping to get the city back to normalcy..

"I'll find out one way or another what is truly going on behind the scenes with the White Fang...!" thought the ex-White Fang member with determination, willing to do anything to find out why the White Fang went silence, even that means working as the Underworld King's shadow..

She will not be standing at sidelines anymore!

Scene Change... Night-time.. Outskirts of Vale

"From what I can sense, Neo and Torchwick location seems to be nearby.." murmured Jaune to himself as he was traveling through the skies by using 'Geppou', along with using his black robe that covers the entirety of his body and face. As Jaune feels the presence of the thieves getting closer, he could see ahead an abandon warehouse that looks huge enough to fit dozens of truck storages, however what caught his attention the most was the radio antenna spotted at the roof of the warehouse "I see.. So that's how Torchwick is planning for me to talk through the radio.."

Without wasting more time, Jaune stared to descend from the skies and lands in front of the warehouse gates. Before the Saiyan could knock the gates, his sensing abilities stared to off in his mind as he felt someone was coming to attack him. Before he could get into his Taekwondo stance the gates of the warehouse were suddenly open, which was followed by a certain pink-brown haired assassin coming to his direction with her parasol weapon..

"What the..." Unfortunately, Jaune couldn't finish that train of thought as he saw Neo closing in with her parasol towards his face. Noting that he couldn't afford to get any kinds of injuries, Jaune dodges gracefully to his right and quickly respond by disarming Neo with his good hand palm which stunned the petite assassin for a second. Luckily, that second was enough for Jaune to reappeared behind Neo and puts her on a standing half-nelson which will prevent her from moving.. "What's the meaning of this Neo?! I thought we were working together!"

"We are working together Eyepatch!" said the voice of Roman Torchwick as he was emerging from the warehouse thus making his way towards where Jaune and Neo are standing, the former staring at Torchwick with a angry expression but unfortunately it didn't affect the orange-haired thieve.. "The thing is Neo dearest wanted to test your reflexes, she wanted to make sure the new Underworld King of Vale hasn't lost any power since the last fight."

"Isn't my victory against Rob Lucci and the performance on the tournament enough to solidify my strength?" asked Jaune with annoyance as he let go of Neo who flirtatiously winked at him as she went to get her parasol weapon

"It did in the beginning, however with you being in a coma for almost a month has made the people in the Underworld think that your victory in the tournament was all a ruse, others think that you are dead after disappearing.. Fortunately that wasn't the case since you're now here" responded Roman in a casual tone as he took a drag of his cigar..

"That's ridiculous! Why would they think that I'm dead?!" stated the black-haired Saiyan incredulously towards Torchwick..

"Who knows, that's their problem and they will be screwed when they find out that all this time their majesty was alive.." responded the international thieve with a smirk forming on his face

"I told you to not call me majesty..!" said Jaune comically with annoyance towards Roman who just laughed at his attitude, before Jaune could follow up with a comment he felt Neo jumping onto his back which made the Saiyan almost fall face front.. "Neo! Get off me! I'm still injured from my last fight..!"

At hearing his comment, Neo pouted cutely as she got off from Jaune's back and went to stand next to Torchwick..

"Before you enter the warehouse, I need you wear this" responded Torchwick as he went through his coat and pulled out a familiar creepy half-mask that he wore in the Underworld Tournament..

"My mask! How did you guys recovered? I thought it was destroyed in my battle against Katsuki!" exclaimed the black-haired Arc in surprise as he grabbed the mask with his good arm

"It was destroyed, however I asked Neo if she could get another one since you don't have any mask to cover your face" explained Torchwick as he took another drag from his cigar as he watches Jaune, with the help of Neo putting on his half-mask..

"I understand that I need to cover my face to protect my identity from others, but why do I need to wear one right now? I thought it was going to be the three of us pulling this off" asked Jaune as he was now wearing his half-mask that exposed only his silver-eye which made him more intimidating, the only thing he didn't do was pulling his hair back like Shiro did, one of the reasons being not wanting to completely show his forehead scar he gained after his fight with Lucci

"At first it was going to be the three of us. However, there has been a change of plans so we are going to have some company with us.." commented Roman with a neutral expression as he turned around and stared to walk inside the warehouse "They work under me so you don't have to worry about them at all.."

"That's weird, I thought Torchwick and Neo were the only ones that I sensed in the warehouse ." thought Jaune in curiosity as he expanded his sensing abilities through the warehouse, instantly he stared to sense three more presence deep inside but compare to Roman's presence, their's felt pretty small "Either they are just average people that work for Torchwick or they are repressing their true power.."

Before he could ask Goku about this, Jaune's was suddenly interrupted by the pink-brown haired assassin who was pulling his black cape as she pointed at the direction where Torchwick was heading, which made the Saiyan realize he had to go in "Sorry Neo, I tend to get distracted with my thoughts that I forget that I have others things to do"

Neo just crossed her arms as she gave Jaune an 'really?' look for a good second until Roman spoke up from the inside of the warehouse "Hey you love birds! We are on a schedule so you better get your asses inside now!"

Not wanting to get into a banter with Torchwick, Jaune stared to made his way into the warehouse followed by Neo who was walking besides him with a content smile on her face.. Despite the walk being completely quite, Jaune was scanning his surroundings to see if anything could catch his attention. However, all he could see was the amount of containers stack up against each other, some of them had the symbol of Weiss's family which piqued the Saiyan's curiosity

"The Schnee Dust Company, could it be that all these containers are filled up with Dust?" said black-haired Arc to himself "If so then why does Torchwick needs so much of it? Could it be he's doing this for the Witch person?"

"Oi Eyepatch! You have been really quiet this walk so far" asked Roman without looking back as he was walking in front of the duo "Are you not going to ask about the structure of the Underworld here in Vale?"

"Hmm.. I was going to ask you after I gave my speech but you can give me the information now " responded back Jaune towards the international thief who took a drag of his cigar before staring to explain

"As you can see, the Criminal World in this side of Remnant is composed by multiple mafia organizations, gangs, and syndicates. Of course most of them you wouldn't hear them in the news since they pay journalists to not cover them.. With the fall of the Underworld black market where commerce was booming for every organization, it has forced them to find other means to get income.." explained Roman towards Jaune who was listening closely to his words

"Like stealing, shoplifting, killing and street wars.." murmured Jaune out loud in realization "But don't they realize that creating all this chaos would attract the Grimm thanks to the accumulation of negativity?!"

"As far as they know off, they could give less of a shit on what's going on outside the walls of the Kingdom. If it doesn't affect their pockets or their way of living they won't care about the bigger picture.." responded Roman in a serious tone of voice as he took another pull from his cigar "However, some small organizations are not participating on creating more negativity in the Kingdom.."

"What are the name of these organizations.." asked the Saiyan with interest, if he could get the aid of these groups who aren't participating then it could make things easier for him to control the Criminal World..

"One of them is controlled by Junior, they are called the Red Axe Gang. Instead of ruling the streets like other bigger gangs, the Red Axe gang works as a hiring organization.." commented the orange-haired thief with small smirk on his face, remembering the times that Junior always nag him about hiring his men to steal Dust "The next organization is the Kuzuryuu Clan, they follow the Yakuza law to a 'T' which is considered one of the most strict rules within the Underworld, one of those rules is protecting their members and family at all cost. Even I had a hard time to convince them to work for me despite the amount of clout I possess.."

"The Kuzuryuu Clan.. If what Torchwick said about them is true, then it would be harder to get assistance from them.." thought Jaune in his mind as he was digesting all the information he knows so far "Oi Torchwick, what was Rob Lucci's role as the Underworld King? Am I going to have the same role as him..?"

"I was wondering when would you asked that!" exclaimed Roman as he stopped his tracks and turns around to stare at the Saiyan "When Rob Lucci was an Underworld King, he was considered a figurehead amongst other top organizations. Even if his strength was acknowledge by powerful individuals in the Underworld, he didn't have any power to rule other organizations.."

"So that's it huh? The position of an Underworld King is nothing more than a figurehead.." said Jaune slightly annoyed that his position as King meant nothing when it comes to control the Underworld or the organization that are composed by it..

"However! I forgot to tell you that despite the Underworld King position being just a figurehead, it can give you the freedom to do whatever you want.." stated Roman with a smug expression "With the clout that you have gained by just being the new Underworld King and having a 50 Million Lien bounty on your head, you will have an easier time to create an elite group that can help you control the Criminal World within the grasp of your hands. That's how Rob Lucci managed to stay on the top of the food chain for the last ten years"

"Rob Lucci has an elite group that allowed him to have some control in the Underworld huh? So far I only have Blake on board but she's only going to be my 'shadow' so she wouldn't count as an official member, regardless I need a group of trusted individuals that will aid me in this journey.." said Jaune within his mind as he got into a thinking position for a few seconds until he spoke up towards Roman "Speaking of Rob Lucci, is he still unconscious right now?"

Before the international thief could say something back, his Scroll stared to ring and quickly picks it up "Hey.. Yeah he's already here with me inside the warehouse.. We'll be there in a minute.." with that, Roman puts his Scroll away and looks at Jaune once more "The others are waiting for us, we already wasted enough time"

Without wasting more time, the trio stared to resume walking towards where Jaune is supposed to give his speech. After a minute of silent walking Jaune, Neo and Roman reached to their destination which was a red door on the second floor of the warehouse.. Not wanting to waste more time, the international criminal just opens the door and announces himself as he enters the room

"Helloooo! My beautiful people! You're favorite thief has finally arrived!" exclaimed Roman out loud in the room, which made Jaune slightly cringed at Roman's entrance, even Neo felt slightly embarrassed at hearing such statement

And it seems they weren't the only ones as one of the individuals who were sitting in the couch spoke up..

"'Favorite thief' my ass! That was the most cringiest shit I have heard in a while" exclaimed a certain silver-haired assassin who was covering his face with his full-on mask he wore back in the Underworld Tournament..

"As much as it pains me to say I have to agree with the idiot here, that was pretty cringe Roman.." added to the conversation a certain green-haired thief, who also was covering her identity with the mask that she used in the Tournament

"Deny whatever you brats want, I know deep inside you both thought it was cool" responded Roman with a smirk as he took another drag from his cigar before putting it away "Now, where is that women!? I thought she would be here with the both of you"

"Looking for me Roman..?" stated a womanly voice that caught the attention of the Saiyan as he turned his gaze towards the source of that voice, and what he saw made his lone silver-eye wide in surprise. Jaune had to admit that the women he was looking at was quite attractive, specially with her black tiara mask along with her stealth-like outfit.. (A/N: Cinder is wearing the same outfit she wore on Volume 2 when she infiltrated to the CCT tower)

Despite that attractive appearance, Jaune couldn't shake off the 'Aura' that she was emitting even if she was trying to repress her presence..

"You notice too, right Goku?" asked Jaune with a serious expression towards the Saiyan God residing in his mind

"Yeah, that girl is repressing her energy and yet her presence can be still be felt.. Be careful around her Jaune, I can sense something inside her that makes her similar to Ozpin, but it feels unnatural at the same time.." responded Goku with a serious tone of voice towards Jaune who just nodded at his warning.. He needed to be careful around her if what Goku said ends up to be true..

"Soo, you must be the infamous Eyepatch that became the new Underworld King of Vale?" asked the mysterious amber-eyed woman towards Jaune, who's train of thought stopped at his gaze landed on her "I have to admit, you look quite handsome and mysterious with that scar on your forehead.."

"She's really straightforward, reminds me of that Cana girl.." thought Jaune on his mind as he couldn't help to slightly blush at his comment, a beautifully women who might be older than him calling him handsome was something he wasn't expecting, he was glad that his half-mask was covering his blush.. However, he didn't have the time to indulge in that train of thought "How come you know who I am? I haven't introduced myself to any of you.."

"Word runs in the criminal world pretty fast, specially when it involves an unknown young individual who can defeat the former Underworld King.." responded the half Fall Maiden with a 'smile' on her face as she extended her hand towards Jaune "The name is 'Ella', I work with Roman behind the scene making sure that everything runs smoothly like right now with the radio broadcast.."

"Eyepatch.." simply said Jaune as he shook her hand with his good one, at the moment he touched her hand Jaune's expression morphed into a surprised one as he could now gauge 'Ella's' energy more clearly "I was right.. She's definitely holding back a great amount of power but how much? However, her energy feels so unnatural to the point that I can tell she forced a second source of energy inside herself.."

"As expected from Eyepatch, he seems to be trying to sense my Aura and how strong I am..." said to herself Cinder as she smirked internally, feeling proud that even the new Underworld King was having difficulties in trying to sense her true power "However, he's forgetting that I can also sense Aura to a high degree and I can say with 100% confidence that his 'Aura' is truly different than the rest of these fools.."

"It's nice to know you Ella.." stated the black-haired Saiyan in a neutral tone of voice as he removes his hand from Cinder "Who are those two behind you?"

"Oh, those two work under me so you don't need to worry about them" responded casually Cinder towards Jaune who just raised his eyebrow in curiosity and suspicion

"Hmm.. Despite repressing their Aura, I can still sense that those two are strong.." stated the youngest Arc to himself as his gaze moved towards the unknown individuals who were doing the finishing touch for the radio broadcast..

Before Jaune could speak up, he felt Torchwick touch his shoulder and spoke up "Alright enough talking both of you, we have a broadcast to do..!"

"Indeed, I don't have enough time to stay here I have places to go to.." stated Jaune out-loud as he got the attention of everyone in the room, he wasn't lying that he doesn't have enough time since he has to go back to the hospital before Ms. Liz checks on him like she usually does. Without wasting more time, Jaune went to sit down where the microphone and radio equipment is located meanwhile the rest of the group went to sit at their respective spots..

"You'll be going live in one minute so you better be prepared to speak" said Mercury behind his mask as he puts on a pair of headphones "If you're worried about being recognized then don't worry, the microphone has installed a voice alteration which makes your voice deeper so nobody would be able to recognize you.."

"I see.." responded the black-haired Saiyan as he unzips his half-mask 'mouth' which allows him to speak more clearly, followed by putting on a similar set of headphones Mercury has "I'm curious as to how are you going to hijack the Radio Broadcast.."

"When you been in the Underworld for a while you tend to get contacts that can help you in certain tasks, one of them being able to hijack the Radio Broadcast System.." stated the silver-haired assassin as he was adjusting the sound system "However, we are going to hijack it for at least 5 minutes since we don't want the authorities to track us down."

"Are you going to be able to get the message across in that short amount of time?" asked Roman towards Jaune as he was sitting next to Mercury across him, meanwhile Neo was on his right side eating ice cream peacefully and 'Ella' was on his left side

"I'll see what I can do.." simply said the Saiyan as he felt slightly nervous since he was about to speak up to millions around the Kingdom. However he can't show any type of weakness in front of these criminals, specially when he's the Underworld King..

Sometimes he wondered how his decisions got him into this situation

"We're going live on 5! 4!..." stated Mercury as he stared the countdown which made Jaune sit up straight and bring the microphone near him "3! 2! 1!... We are live!"

From that moment and on, Jaune went with the flow..

"Good evening citizens of the Kingdom of Vale, you must be wondering who's this person speaking behind the microphone all of the sudden. Well let's not waste more time and get to the point, I'm the new Underworld King that dethrone the Assassin Rob Lucci from his position, I'm known as Eyepatch. Some of the big shots in the Criminal world must be surprised that I'm announcing myself to the public now, they thought I had disappeared, desperately wanting me to be six-feet under the earth. Unfortunately for them, I won't be going away anytime soon.."

"As I notice the last three weeks since the destruction of the Underworld, there has been a lot of civil unrest that is being caused by multiple criminal organization which is causing a great amount of negativity in the Kingdom and will attract Grimm to our borders. I'll be saying this once towards every criminal organization in this Kingdom so everyone better listen clearly."

"From this moment, every activity that is creating chaos in the streets of Vale has to be ceased immediately..!"

Scene Change.. Beacon Tower.. Headmaster's office..

"I will not be tolerating meaningless squabbles in the streets that involves innocent people that don't want to be involved in the criminal world.."

"It seems that Mr. Arc is now making his move in the Underworld.." thought Ozpin to himself as he was listening the broadcast from his scroll in his office "Let's hope he's able to find more clues from the Queen's pawn.."

Scene Change.. Beacon Academy Dormitories..

"This message also goes to the Council of Vale, I know that some of you are also contributing in this madness by creating more fear through statements so cease those thoughts at once!"

"So Jaune knows about the darker side of the Council as well.." said Blake seriously within her mind as she was laying down on her bed, listening the broadcast in her Scroll along with some headphones so her team won't be able to listen "It's good that he wants to protect the citizens that are suffering from this, but declaring the Council as his enemy will make the situation for us harder.."

Scene Change.. Downtown Vale..

"Leaders from each criminal organization in Vale, you better keep your underlings in a leash because the moment I hear citizens still being terrorized by petty squabbles, then you will know why I gained a bounty of 50,000,000 Lien..!"

"Jeez, it's good to know that Shiro is safe and sound but that arrogance of his is still present as ever.." thought a certain brown-haired girl that fought Jaune in the Underworld with a smirk on her face "I mean, already trying to assert dominance against the biggest criminal organizations in Vale along with the Council? He really is ambitious.. and one of the things I like from him.."

"Hey Cana! Can you bring me a mug of beer? I don't think I'm drunk enough to be hearing this madness!" said a person as he was sitting at bar across her..

"Coming right up!" responded Cana automatically as she stared to served her customer beer on a mug.. "Maybe I should invite Shiro here, by allying myself with him can bring benefits for myself and my Bar.."

Scene Change.. Southern side of Vale

"Let me be clear that I'm not doing this for my amusement, I'm doing this to protect the lives of the citizens that have nothing to do with this mess. As a King I should be able to accept the responsibilities of my actions which caused the destruction of the Underworld and led to this moment.."

"For an arrogant bastard, Eyepatch seems to have a goal in reestablishing order in the criminal world. A plan that I can actually get behind since it can benefit us in the long run.. I have to talk to father about this if I want to have enough man power" thought a unknown male individual as he was sitting down on his red sofa, listening to the broadcast with interested expression

"Young master, it seems that you have a plan that involves the Underworld King.." said a female individual next to him with a monotone voice which results to be his hitman

"I do.. However, let's see where this leads too. I want to know how the Underworld King will be able to handle the shit-storm he's about to receive.." simply stated the male individual with a grin as he kept listening to the broadcast..

Scene Change.. Warehouse.. Outskirts of Vale..

"I hope this message was able to get across everyone in the Criminal World, I would really hate to kill an individual because he was too much of an idiot for not following my rules.. Let's hope it doesn't get to that point shall we, I'll be watching every move.." said Jaune as he moved away from the microphone and looks at Mercury with a knowing look, which the assassin caught quickly as he turned off the Broadcast "So, how was it?"

"It could have been better, but I gotta admit you indeed got the message across! including the Council which are now going to be tailing your ass for it" exclaimed Roman with satisfaction as he was surprised that Eyepatch for speaking in public for the first time was pretty decent..

"I'll deal with them when the time comes.." replied the black-haired Saiyan as he cracked his good index finger to calm himself down.. Then he turned his gazed at everyone in the room "I hope I can count on you in lending me a hand by being my 'ears' in the Criminal World.."

"I'll gladly help you Eyepatch, just hearing your message was enough to convince that you are destined to become a good King in the future" said Cinder with a 'pleasant' expression. Despite lying to him about being convinced from his message, the half-Maiden knew that Eyepatch can become a good leader that could control the entirety of the Underworld in the future..

When the right time comes, she'll be the one controlling him from the shadows but for now she will build him up to become a proper King..

"Wherever 'Ella' goes, I'll be following behind so you can count me in.." stated Emerald behind her mask towards the Saiyan who just nodded in satisfaction, then he turned his gaze towards the silver-haired assassin

"Meh, sound interesting. I want to see where this leads too, so you got my aid.." responded Mercury nonchalantly towards Jaune..

"I guess I don't need to ask about you in aiding me huh?" asked Jaune with a humorous tone of voice as he looked at Neo, who just nodded at him with a small smirk as she laid her head on his shoulder and gets closer to snuggle with him.. "Despite lending me help towards my current goal, I need to be careful around them.. I need to form my own team that I can trust and that knows the ins and outs of the criminal world.."

"I wonder if my speech is able to make an effect on those criminal organizations.." thought Jaune to himself as he wonder what would be the consequences of his speech. Not realizing that his words are not only going to change Vale itself..

But the rest of the Kingdoms are going to feel the presence of the new Underworld King of Vale, Jaune Arc or known by his nickname Eyepatch..

And cut! I know this chapter was supposed to come earlier like around February, unfortunately a lot things came up over the last couple of months that prevented me advancing. The first one being the current pandemic going on around the world and affecting my semester as a whole that we have to do online courses. The next one being that I had writer's block once again, it is really frustrating that what I have in mind for this chapter is difficult to put it in words, good thing that I moved passed that. And lastly, I have been playing new games over these last five months that it got me hooked immediately. Those games being Fire Emblem: Three Houses and the Danganronpa games, I have to admit that those two have become my favorite games in quarantine, specially Danganronpa 2 with their characters like Hajime Hinata, Nagito Komaeda, Mikan Tsumuki and Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu which have become my top 4 characters..

Moving on from that, let's go over some facts from this chapter..

1. The last time Sapphire and Coral saw Jaune before today was six months ago when he was still a weakling..

2. Jaune hasn't been able to sleep properly since he woke up from his coma, one of those reasons being his nightmares from the past are staring to become more common, we will see an example of this next chapter..

3. 'Areadbhar' Nicholas Arc weapon and 'Freikugel' Coral Arc weapon look exactly like their counterpart from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, those being Dimitri's and Hilda's respective weapons. In this story those weapons are known as the Arc Relics and each Arc member posses those weapons

4. Sapphire and Coral are way stronger than Jaune since the both of them are Professional Huntsman, which is another ball game compared to Huntsman-in-training. The only way for Jaune to surpass them at the moment is using his Aura Amplification, but since he can't use his Semblance then he has to wait until he's completely healed to get the Zenkai

5. Sapphire and Coral knew that Jaune has never been mentally good since he was a child, they just don't know what caused it..

6. Since Jaune's physical body already surpass human limitations he can preform techniques like Soru which is similar to the technique he learned back in Shion..

7. Nora and Weiss now have similar scars on their neck after being choked by Rob Lucci. Yang also has her own scar on her chest thanks to Roman's 'Shigan'...

8. Blake knowns Jaune's torturer in person since he's the White Fang lieutenant in the Vale branch, she detests that person and would not seem him ever again..

9. As you guys notice Blake is becoming more proactive than her canon self in Volume 1 when it comes to the White Fang, she's aware that the organization is stealing a great amount of Dust and she wants to know the reason about it, that's one of the main reasons she allied herself with Jaune and to get him on her side she revealed her heritage and former position, knowing that Jaune wouldn't be able to say anything since she knows that he's the Underworld King

10. Jaune knew that if he didn't accept Blake's help he would have a harder time in the Underworld since he doesn't know a lot about it

11. Neo wanted to test out if Jaune hasn't gotten any weaker since he woke up from his coma, that's why she delivered a surprise attack towards him.

12. Jaune is becoming suspicious as to why Torchwick has so much Dust containers in a warehouse

13. Criminal Organizations will play a prominent role in this Arc, some of them were mentioned in this chapter as you can see ..

14. Roman gave Jaune a new mask so he can hide his face from Cinder, Emerald and Mercury

15. Speaking of Cinder, Mercury and Emerald, the trio are also wearing a mask to hide their identities especially now that the three of them are Beacon students

16. Cinder has her own plans to sway Jaune into her side for Salem, but she also has her own plan to control Jaune's authority from the shadows.. Her personal goals will be revealed in future chapters

17. Jaune was feeling nervous since he was never good in public speaking, it also brings back bad memories in where he was the center of attention from the bullies..

18. The characters that I showed when they react to Jaune's speech on the radio broadcast will play an important role in this coming Arc

19. Jaune doesn't consider Roman''s group as part of his own group since he barely knows them, they are just considered as an temporal alliance. So far, Blake is the only one who he can trust in this journey but don't worry more people will be joining his small circle in future chapters

Well since that's out of the way, I want to thank everyone who kept waiting for this chapter to come out for months, y'all are the real ones! Next chapter will mostly be focused going back to the Beacon lifestyle so don't expect a lot of heavy stuff.. Review what you guys think about this chapter! Follow or Favorite this story if you guys want know what's going to happen next

Ja ne!
