Jaune Pov
"Remember Jaune it's okay to come back home. No shame in backing down." Mom said.
"Mom I'm 17 now! I'll be fine on my own. Send the girls my love Mom. I got to go, Beacon is in sight now." I replied before hanging up my scroll.
Love the faith my Mom has in me. I tucked my scroll into my pocket and looked around the bullhead. Everyone was rushing towards the window. Trying to catch a view of Forever Falls before fading into the Emerald Forest.
Now a grand gray tower came into view. Beacon Academy. One of the 4 hunters academies in Remnant.
"Remember you are not students yet. Nevertheless welcome to Beacon Academy." A hologram of a blonde woman said before flickering off. And just like that the bullhead landed in the port. Light flooded my vision. It took me a second to gather my bearings and when I adjusted I was alone.
I gathered my belongings and stepped of the bullhead. Wow. Beacon is huge. It's like castle and a college campus had a baby. I walked into the court yard and took in everything.
BOOM
Turning to the explosion. I saw a white haired girl storming off. Leaving another girl laying in the newly formed crater. Jogging over I got a better look at the girl.
She was fair skinned. Her hair was choppy black before fading into red. Her clothes pegged her as little red riding hood and a gothic girl combined.
"Welcome to Beacon" the girl muttered tiredly.
"Hey are you alright? I didn't think the ground was that comfortable." I asked the girl. She shot up and quickly faced me. She had silver eyes. Standing at a 5'2 I towered over this girl. Myself being 6'2.
"No! It's rough and cold and I don't like it at all!" the girl ranted.
"Whoa take it easy. I heard an explosion and got concerned" I spoke cutting the girl off before she could continue.
"Why do you even care? It's not like I'm your friend." The girl mumbled. Her cheeks dusted with pink.
"My Mom always said, "Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet". You seem like a nice girl but, got off to a shaky start so I thought you could use a friend." I answered honestly while giving a small shrug and smile.
"That would be awesome! Names Ruby Rose nice to meet ya!" Ruby responded. She was practically vibrating with energy now.
"Jaune Arc same to you Crater face. Now come on we better get moving or will miss the introduction ceremony." I replied with a smirk. I saw where the other mass of students were going and started walking in that direction.
"Hey wait up for me! And don't call me Crater Face!" Ruby exclaimed before turning into a ball of roses and catching up to me in seconds. Huh must be her semblance.
We made it to the auditorium with the rest of the future students. It looked like hundreds of people were in this single room. Only a few colors stood out in the sea of black. Red, Yellow, White, White/Black, Green, Pink, and Bronze.
"Jaune I'll catch you later. I see my sister over there and oh boy do we need to talk!" Ruby explained than ran off to her sister. I watched her disappear into the crowd.
"Damn it. Now where am I gonna find a nice, quirky girl to talk to." I mumbled to myself. I found myself walking into the crowd and stopping dead in the center of the auditorium facing the stage. The room quieted down when Headmaster Ozpin and Miss Goodwitch walked onto the stage. A few other teachers were on the stage as well but, in the back. Ozpin than walked up to the mike and began the introductory speech.
"Wow. What a crappy speech. Really got me motivated to give it my all" I muttered sarcastically to myself. I had just finished changing into my pjs for the night and was making my way to the ballroom. Ozpin pretty much calling all of us a waste of space and to gather in ballroom to sleep for the night. Stating tomorrow morning initiation would be at the cliffs. To get a good nights sleep and prepare ourselves for tomorrow.
Looking around the room I saw the other guys acting like idiots. Shirtless and flexing their muscles for the few females interested. Moving past them in a hurry a flash of blonde caught my eye.
"Holy hell" I said as I paused to look at this girl. Standing at 5'8 and wearing black booty shorts and an orange tank top with a flaming heart on it. This girl was gorgeous. Long blonde hair, with stunning lilac eyes and fair skin. Wait is that Ruby next to her? I began to walk over and sure enough it was Ruby. She was laying down in her pjs and seemed to be writing something.
"Hey Crater Face" I spoke softly. Now standing in front of Ruby and the girl with the blonde hair.
"Oh hey Jaune! I didn't see you there!" Ruby stopped writing and spun to face me. Her face quickly dusted with pink after seeing me. Weird.
"Rubes who is this? You never told me you made friends." The blonde girl asked Ruby. She quickly gave me a once over. I gulped. Not use to a girl this pretty even looking my way.
"Yang I already told you earlier. This is Jaune the guy who helped me after I exploded remember?!" Ruby exclaimed.
Huh so her name was Yang.
"Oh right. Nice to meet a fellow blonde." Yang said while putting a hand out for me to shake. I returned the shake and holy fuck did it hurt. I swear her eyes flashed red as she crushed the ever living hell out of my hand. Take note. Yang is crazy strong.
"Wait how do you two know each other?" I asked. Shaking my hand trying to get blood flowing into it again.
"Yang! Don't hurt my new friend! Yang is my sister. A older, protective, annoying sister." Ruby responded while glaring at Yang.
"Sorry Rubes didn't mean to hurt your new boyfriend." Yang chuckled.
"He isn't my boyfriend!" Ruby shouted.
"Oh so he's on the market is he?" Yang said with a sultry voice. She looked at me more closely. I was wearing black gym shorts with a tight blue long sleeve shirt. While, I wasn't a beef cake the muscles I had were apparent.
I blushed. And simply nodded my head.
"Yang no! Jaune is my friend. So, no hitting on him or flirting with him or anything" Ruby exclaimed loudly. She rushed over in front of me, facing Yang. Arms crossed and obviously pouting.
"What is the meaning of this?! Some of us are trying to sleep." A girl screeched at us. Looking over it was the same white haired girl from earlier.
Man this was gonna be a long night wasn't it? Before she could make it over I walked away while waving at Ruby and Yang. Finding an empty space I laid my sleeping bag down and went to sleep. Ruby, Yang, and the white haired girl were still shouting at each other but, oh well. I need to be as ready as possible for tomorrow. I would find out if I was ready to become a huntsman! I drowned out the yelling and closed my eyes. I smiled to myself, not a bad first day at Beacon.
After changing and using the bathroom I made my way over to the cafeteria. Grabbing some breakfast I made my way over to an empty table and began eating. Alright Jaune. Initiation is today remember what Grandpa told you. "Ozpin is a crazy old bastard but, has a good heart. Any advice your Father said is garbage! So, just be yourself and you'll be just fine."
"Hey Blondie room for two more?" Turning to the voice I found Yang and Ruby with their breakfasts making there way towards me.
"Yeah. Take a seat" I replied. Waving to the seats in front of me. They quickly sat down and we all ate in silence.
"So Jaune, Rubes here told me a little about you. But, what made you go and help her?" Yang asked me. She had looked up from her food and now her eyes were on me.
"Well being honest Yang. Ruby reminds me of my little sisters. She looked lost and upset. Before I knew it I was jogging over and asking if she was alright." I stated embarrassed. I scratched the back of my head, now looking at the two sisters.
"Awe thanks Jaune, I knew you cared about me. Wait you said sisters so, how many sisters do you have?" Ruby questioned bashfully.
"I have 7 sisters" I responded.
"7 SISTERS?!" Ruby and Yang shouted in surprise. I chuckled to myself. I was used to this response.
"Damn Blondie. How'd you survive? I can barely handle having Ruby as my little sister! I couldn't even imagine 6 more of her." Yang exclaimed.
"HEY!" Ruby shouted with a pout.
"My Grandpa really. Me and him together were able to handle the storm called my sisters. And yeah things were rough sometimes but, I would't trade them for anything in this world. They're one of the reasons why I wanted to become a huntsman." I answered honestly.
Ruby cooed and Yang simply looked at me. Like she was trying to solve a puzzle.
"Alright guys we should wrap this up. We need to make our way to the lockers room. Initiation will start soon." I stated. I stood up and threw away my garbage. Making my way to the locker room I heard the sisters hurry after me.
The 3 of us split up and made our way to our respective lockers. 636. I think I would have remembered counting that high. Shrugging I made my way to my locker. In front of it was the same white haired girl talking to a red haired girl.
"Um excuse" I said softly.
"Excuse me, I am in the middle of an important conversation!" the white haired girl almost exploding at me said. She was 5'3 and pale. She had a scar over one of her light blue eyes. Wearing what I would call a dress and heels. Cute but, damn her personality needs some work. I rolled my eyes.
"You are in front of my locker Ice Queen. So, if you could move I'll get out of your way." I responded with some sass.
"You dolt! Do you know who you are talking to?!" she screeched at me.
"Weiss just move. We can continue this conversation elsewhere." the red hair girl cut in before things could further escalate. She was 6'0 with heels and had fair skin. Her eyes were vivid green and she was wearing some type of bronze amour. God damn. Another gorgeous girl and this was only my second day at Beacon!
"Thanks..." I said to the red head.
"Pyrrha. Sorry about Weiss she is just nervous." Pyrrha said with a small smile. I returned it and went to gather and put on my gear.
"You dolt?! Do you seriously don't know who we are?!" Weiss practically demanded. Stomping her foot for good measure.
"Sorry. I was pretty sheltered as a kid. Unless you effected me and my family directly I probably don't know you." I responded with a shrug. Pyrrhas smile seemed to become even bigger. "Now if you excuse me. I have a cliff to get to. It was nice meeting you Pyrrha and I guess you too Ice Queen." I gave a quick salute and made my way to the doors.
I saw Ruby and Yang already waiting on the cliff side with a few other students and Ozpin and Miss Goodwitch.
Hot. Yang in her huntress outfit. A small jacket covering her top. Wearing shorts and boots.
"Please line up with the squares." Miss Goodwitch asked us. We all complied and lined up.
"Welcome applicants to Beacons initiation test. You will be launched off the cliff into the Emerald Forest. You will need to find a treasure and bring it back with you. Whoever you first make eye contact with will be your partner for the next 4 years. Don't hesitate to kill anything that gets in your way. With that being said good luck" Ozpin stated while sipping his coffee.
And just like that we were launched into the forest one by one. As I felt myself getting launched I couldn't help but, agree with my Grandfather. Ozpin was a bastard!
Note* Jaune is wearing his volume 5 outfit and has the upgraded Crocea Mors. I know it's made from Pyrrhas old gear but, I don't care. RWBY already has a few gaps so it honestly doesn't affect the story too much. Oh and Jaune has his hood up as well. Not enough to cover his entire head but, it's up.
Hello and Welcome to Drive of an Arc. This story is if Jaune was a bit different from the goofball we all know and love. If my grammar and spelling are off I apologize! This is my first fanfiction so we will see how this goes. Updates will be random and frequent hopefully. Alright later guys see you in the next update!
