[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

Why Jaune Shouldn't Use Crocea Mors New
So, recently AJT posted about a Naruto based, "Why Jaune shouldn't use" over at FFN.net

And since we have another Shonen Protagonist who shares........scary number of similarities with Jaune(Sun is the only acceptable Naruto in RWBY), I decide to write my own little Prose. What I like to call -->

Why Jaune shouldn't use....... Crocea Mors!?

BAM! BAM!

Rang out two shots as they hit Jaune right in the chest, while his Aura protected him but the recoil from the projectiles' impacts, somehow, managed to slam him backwards. The surprising attack came from the latest of Salem's agents. A unnervingly pale, tall, lanky fellow, with green makeup following the tear streak of his eyes with similar colored green eyes.

Jaune quickly gathered his bearings, and tried to retrieve his Scroll and alert his friends, if only, but somehow his alert couldn't reach them!

"There is no use for your futile flailing", calmly, almost lazily said this unknown person.

"For no matter how hard a fish prays, despair would consume it still, on the Butcher's board"

Jaune wanted to really, really punch his stupid face in but the difference in their capabilities was too much. And somehow he had managed to isolate him and box him in this part of the Ruins, present at the heart of Vacuo's harsh deserts.

Now looking at certain death in face, all with the bastard's uninterested look, as if this whole ordeal was nothing but a regularity in is schedule was actively pissing him off. Yes, he knew he could get frustrated, get hung up on things, but this genuine rage he was feeling, it was much more recent, much more fresh.

'Heh, and here I thought if I could just be good enough to stand with them, all my problems would be solved, FOOL, ' thought Jaune to himself, now realizing that power was it's own curse. His weird Semblance, one he had taken to call Archetype, allowed him to gain some weird skills and personalities once he got in contact with a weapon, but strangely not on any weapon, only weapons of Huntsmen.

Through this he gained capability, and in that he believed that he could actually protect people, yet all it took was one slightly more capable monster in Salem's little army and here he was, separated from the rest of his team, as they were called to answer another disaster in Vacuo.

Through his Friends and Comrades and little tricks, Beacon still stood tall even after Salem's machinations after the Vytal Festival, but to placate the terror and fear of the larger populace of Remnant, Ozpin directed them to take missions alongside other kingdoms.

"I hope you have made peace, while it was certainly..... new to let myself act like this, I must move forward", and almost lazily he began to charge up his Lance/Cannon weapon, only instead of Aura or Dust, it was powered by what appeared to be liquid Grimm essence, the same essence that vaporized once you fell a grimm, now concentrated and coalescing, in the insidious sphere of verdant and dark glow.

Time stood still

What are you waiting for now, fool~

NO! Stay away from this!

Oh, that looks like fun, come on let me take a crack at it~~

I said stay out!

Let me out NO, let me NO, let meNO, let meNO, let meNO, let meNO, let meNO, let meNO, let meN-

OUT!
And everything moved


All at once, a brilliant yet terrible force exploded out from Jaune's bloodied, hunched body, armor broken at places and clothes scraped at some others, yet the show of power from his being contrasted absolutely with his broken form.

This force managed to disperse his opponents strong yet admittedly half heartedly created sphere of destruction, but this stranger managed to endure this titanic show of dominance with nothing more than a step back and covering his face.

Suddenly, Jaune rose, but in an eerie, unnatural manner, as though an animated puppet rather than a living being.

!

He immediately threw himself backward, still sending but now bending and back almost parallel to the ground, his arms were brought up, one hand twitching and clawing at nothing but air while the other clutched one half of his face as the dome of force around him grew, hi remaining upper body's armor and clothes explodes as he gave a final terrifying roar!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH-", he roared out and finally after an even stronger explosion the force around him suddenly vanished, raising a dust cloud.

Once it was cleared, he stood straight, Crocea Mors in its Great Sword form, merged with its Shield to make a larger, broader blade.

But something was different in his posture. It was uncaring, slouching at one side.

But the worst was his face. The immediate feature that stood out was a half of his face covered in a terrible, almost bone like, mask with red marking running from top to bottom, not unlike that of a Grimm. His eyes, stretched terrifyingly wide with darkened sclera and burning poisonous yellow irises.

And a manic grin on his face as he looked at his opponent with pure HUNGER!

Before the stranger could comment on this development, His lance moved, blocking and barely holding off an attack that came from Janue or whatever stood in his place as this grinning new entity, pushed and suddenly both were face to face, as if this entity's strength was enough to one handedly push against his guard despite the mechanical advantage he had.

This grinning menace looked at him, salivating from its mouth and said, "You know, I really want to kiss you right now. But all of that love is over shadowed by this overwhelming hunger, so please kind sir", he said, softly but the quality of his voice felt like two separate audio files echoing together, as he took his free hand and put it on the blade of the larger Crocea Mors," won't you feed this poor sinner?" he said as suddenly the blade glowed a darkened gold and an explosion of this....Aura(?) went off.



Jaune. Please I am begging, be alright.

Thought Pyrrha as she ran along with the rest of team JNPR, following the sight and sound of another explosion the fifth in under 40 seconds hoping that this constant activity in that area meant that at least some struggle was going on unless the perpetrator was a simple sadist doing it for their own sick desires.

Salem has no scarcity of those in her arms.

Said a terrified part of her psyche, even she destroyed another Beowulf that tried to block her path, with her Akuo.

She owed her life to her team leader, among many other reasons why she held him so dear, she wouldn't bear the thought of something happening to him.
Oh Gods, please, protect him.

Her Prayer sent, she again sped Ren and Nora along with herself with her semblance so that they may reach their leader quicker. Ren shouted a warning to conserve her Aura, but her turmoiled heart wouldn't let her hear anything till she managed to ensure his safety.

And removed whatever threat was posed to him

Noir Verde, was getting irritated, a first for him yet understandable as this animal kept leaping and bounding and swinging at him with that that giant blade of his, each hit carrying a thundering crack of Aura(?) that had forced him to regenerate his arms more than a few time, followed by his cackling laugh, sounding like the screech of a Nevermore, as he was forced to defend and bring out his wings, terrible bat-like wings, to dodge but when that vector of attack was covered, suddenly that animal started to leap around and use the frankly absurdly large pillars of the ruins and run on them, keeping up with him even at he ran at an acute angle towards the ground rather than perpendicular.

His wings given to him by his mistress, were tattered, and he couldn't even focus on healing them because as if this display of thorough degradation of sense and order wasn't done yet, that glowing mass of Aura(?) surrounding his blade now started to shoot like projectiles as he swung his blade from a distance!

The worst part was that this feral beast was learning, shrugging of his hits that he knew could level buildings and if anything managed to get through, his Aura(?) healed, but making sure that same pattern of attacks couldn't hold its potency against him for more than three clashes, even parrying and blocking somewhat strategically.

Why isn't his Aura depleting. And why does he feel like....us?
Thought Noir, as he tried to once again gain ground by launching another giant blast which that beast simply charged through, any minor wound healed instantly if he even took any.

He decide he had enough of this beast, and changed tactics.

He charged his lance with the grace of his mistress, and rushed forward as well, as if to meet him in a clash, but just when he was about to actually deliver the blow, he switched and feinted.

And this beast anticipated even that and moved to adjust same time as him! But that was fine, he decided to use a more uncouth tactic and as he got himself in position close to, he headbutted him, with all his might, something that in his hindsight was a certainly unwise decision.

It cracked his mask a little but seemed to affect more himself than this animal, and just about when he though another empowered slash of his would land on his chest-something that would cause even him problem healing- something came blindingly fast, too fast for Noir to notice and stabbed him in his chest!

But, instead of using this opportunity to chop him up, this beast looked at the projectile- A spear- and he hesitated, eyes widened, as if in recognition.

"Dammit not now!"

cried the beast as his hand seemed to clutch his ruined mask despite his struggling and rip the ruined mask off. Quicker than he could protest, and suddenly Jaune's eyes seemingly went normal, as he looked directly at Noir for a moment.

A moment in which Noir went to attack Jaune, now seemingly lucid, launching a small blast at him which launched him a little back but at the same time a flying grenade hit Noir straight in the chest, exploding in pink smoke.

While the grenade wasn't nearly as potent as the boy's slashes, he was already weakened, and was thus in great pain, yet he bit his lower lip to stave off the pain, heal a little while the smoke covered him, and used his wings to quickly fly off in the cover of the smoke.




Ren watched the wretched monster flying off like a scared rat, as he also shot at him with Stormflower, but his bullets seemingly doing no damage on him.

Maybe I really should switch to a higher caliber.

He filed it for later, making sure that Jaune was alright was important right now.

He looked over at his leader, while Pyrrha scanned all over a kneeling Jaune who was now clutching the handle of his enlarged Crocea Mors for support.

He was on one knee, hi eyes were wide as he panted, taking the support of his weapon, as Pyrrha looked over him with tears in her eyes. Then Jaune raised his arm and put it on Pyrrha's hand in a gesture of placation, which seemingly worked as she broke into a sob and went to hug and clutch to Jaune, with Nora following suite as it was clear that their precious leader was not severely injured.

An action he followed through as well. Finally calming his racing Heart down.

Jaune hugged his team back, feeling that sense of being torn apart finally settle as if parts of himself were re united with his body.

I should be dead. At least broken beyond repair.

His analytical mind went to work, as he confirmed that his team was safe, with no injuries and finally focused that he himself, while feeling as if all his bones were being flattened by a Hydraulic Press and blood Vessels seemed to be transporting fire, there was seemingly nothing broken or even too damaged, other than superficial wounds.

He hugged his team back tighter, knowing all four of them needed this and close his eyes. Jaune's tiredness started to catch up on him. With a pat he signaled Pyrrha, and looked at her.

She somehow understood his meaning, and along with Nora and Ren, carried him up and started to help him towards the Medic aid that just arrived behind the team.

Looks like Ren probably called them, thought Jaune as he forced himself to stay awake.

But what....... is happening....... to me? Jaune asked in his Psyche as the field medics stated to measure his vitals and tried to keep him steady, loading him up on the back of the ambulance.


.....This is.... Fine.

For now.

A few Halloween themed prompts:

-As it turns out, Penny's team has a mysterious fourth member. She wears a tight black suit, and a helmet at all times. What is beneath this mask? On a training mission, Ruby finds out-She stares into a face that looks exactly like hers.

Yes, someone in Atlas cloned Summer Rose. Her name is Garnet. She isn't treated like a weapon (Just like Penny), but she resents Ruby because where Garnet has to hide who she is, Ruby is free to be herself.

-Nora gets into an ancient grimoire... And accidentally causes the zombie apocalypse. Whoops.

-Ren does have one relative, though not exactly living: A jiangshi, a Chinese-style vampire. And she's come to Beacon to visit.
 
-Nora gets into an ancient grimoire... And accidentally causes the zombie apocalypse. Whoops.

Well, good thing that a man who took her and Ren in for a while when they were children taught her what to do in such circumstances. And she's going to make "uncle Ash" proud.

Or alternatively, big sis Juliet.

Yes, I'm referencing Evil Dead and Lollipop Chainsaw.
 
J_PR: DAMN IT, NORA!! NOT AGAIN!!!
Honestly, I can't help but picture Nora and Jaune just having a bunch of random magical things stashed in their teams dorm that Ren keeps watches over now. Only for Pyrrha, who is very new to this, and other people to do something that activates them. Cue Team JNPR running off to deal with it while Ozpin is trying to figure out what Salem is up to.

She is actually just enjoying the show with some popcorn while eyeing Ren due to him possibly developing magic.

As for such items, the doll of the Monkey King that animates itself, a demonic dragon statue, oni mask that summons shadow ninjas, and more. Including a set of books with a one eye triangle wearing a top hat in the illustrations.
 
Neuro Sama?

I know like 5 V Tubers total, and only watch their content through YT shorts.
You are correct sir.

Tbh I only know a bit about them because of shorts and because they have a funnyjunk account.

Saw a clip where one of them somehow figured out how to circumvent language filters and called a Vtuber they were on stream with a cunt.
 
Crawling Chaos New
To go with my idea...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Jaune? What's this?" Ruby asks as she pulls out a large crystal from the filled box that he and Nora keep in their closet. She ignores, again, the sign that says 'DO NOT TOUCH! ESPECIALLY TEAM RWBY, OZPIN, PYRRHA, AND EVERYONE!!' in big red letters.

Jaune, turning over and looking at it, pales as he recognizes what she had grabbed. "Ruby," he says in a pleading voice. "Please put that down and walk away slow..."

"Oops," comes from Ruby's lips as she drops the crystal, the myriads of cuts giving off infinite reflections for but a moment as the sunlight hits it. And as soon as it hits the carpet, a mass of figures burst out of it. Inhuman and unnatural shadows, mists, and more launch themselves from the gem, laughing and speaking in voices that makes the ears of everyone in Beacon start to bleed even as quite a few start to suffer seizures.

"DAMN IT!" Jaune shouts out as he reaches under his bed and pulls out a customized shotgun and a pouch full of special shells. "Not again! Please don't tell me they remember.."

"Remember my future husband? Darn right I do!" comes from behind Jaune as silvery hair falls around him. Ruby looks on in shock as from Jaune's shadow against the wall a girl in a black and white checkered dress, silvery hair, and green eyes manifests. "Thanks for letting me out! I'm the Chaos that is Crawling to Jaune with a Smile! Nyarl.."

"Please let my dear little brother go annoyance," another voice cuts the silvery haired girl off even as shadowy tenderils grab her and throws her out the window with a shout of 'GOTCHARD!' "Now then, let big sister Chiyo help Jaune."

The rest of Team JNPR rushes through the door, weapons ready only to freeze at the side of a tall, pale skinned woman with a necklace made of eyes, goat hooved feet, and horns atop her hair that frames her long black hair. She turns a gentle smile to them, "Oh hello there. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Jaune's big sister Chiyo."

Outside of Beacon, everyone can hear five voices, all but one being part of Beacon's now becoming more infamous team, shout out at once, "DAMN IT RUBY!!"

"You're part of the problem Nyaruko!" Jaune's voice could be heard seconds later..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: Wow! A actual threadmark and likes already! Thank you all!

-Ruby's Halloween/Birthday Party is gonna be lit! And she's asked Coco and Jaune to plan it! How spooky does it become? And is it sexy Halloween as well?

Yang is traumatized when Ruby would rather not do another sister-dress-up thing, mostly because Yang's costumes are all terribly dorky and she hasn't realized it.

Pyrrha comes dressed as Morrigan Aensland while Ruby, who arrived a bit too late to the costume shop, comes dressed as Lilith Aensland. Yang has a crisis because a) Ruby is a cute lil' sis and not supposed to have tits and hips, b) she and Pyrrha look like sisters and c) why did dumb Vomit Boy have to all out with the birthday bash?

Jaune gets a proper Radian bash going, up to the 'This is Halloween' song. Ruby is over the moon, while Weiss is more than a little jealous.

Werewolf!Jaune reveals himself, only for vampire!Ruby to squeal happily because she's not the only one. Cue most of Team RWBY and JNPR revealing that they're not human and delighted that they're not the only ones.

Pyrrha: *not even bothering to hide it anymore* *smiling hungrily* "Succubus. Virgin Succubus."
Jaune: *sense of impending yet highly anticipated doom*
Nora: "Draugr!"
Ruby: "Vampire! Jauuuuune, I wanna taste!"
Pyrrha: "Me too~"

Blake: "I'm normal! Perfectly normal! Just a faunus!"
Jaune: "Huh, you smell like werepanther. And rakshasa."
Blake: "The hell are those?!"

-Weiss doesn't really see the point in Halloween so Ruby and her friends try to show her how amazing it can be!

Weiss: "'Fun'? What is this...'fun'?"

Weiss: "'Fun'? What is this...'fun'"?
Cue Weiss being pushed to try all kinds of things that are considered fun, entertaining, and more.

A month later Jaune, Ren, Yang, and Pyrrha are sitting at a table playing Dungeons and Dragons with the insanity of the Legends of Avantis crew to the serious story beats of Dimension 20. Weiss is the DM who is having both fun and is about to blow a blood vessel.
 
Which one was Legends of Avantis?

The one in which the bard's attempt at seduction always ends with them playing a therapist?

Or the one with the guy who kills clowns while covered in a vat of peanut oil?
 
So a Gundam idea to throw in.

People are always messing with aura. Trying to make new techniques, new ways to unlock it, and better understand it.

Vale has come up with the newtypes - a form of awakened aura that discards the use of semblance but raises instinct and reaction times by a staggering 200% passively.

Atlas has created the cyberNewtypes - Atlas wanted their cake and to eat it too. They've managed to create a form of newtype that through the use of implants and enhancements during the aura awakening process, while holding less of a passive boost (125%) still retain some (very) weak semblances.

Mantel with their building resentment towards Atlas has (with some very shady backing and funding) created the innovators. While their reaction speeds aren't boosted their true value lays in their minds. Which can create and alter complex plans on the fly, they also possess a limited ability to mentally interact with technology making them a natural counter to the Atlas forces.

Vacuo and mistrel interestingly has seemed to go into a different direction. Instead of sacrificing semblance power and boosting technical skills they've instead created the Fighters. Much stronger semblances at the cost of each fighter being highly specialized. To the point that the academy is more a regular school with occasional sparring where huntsmen look for and poach students with similar enough semblances for apprenticeships.

And in a ironic twist Menagerie has rejected all of the aura projects and kept to traditional aura. Claiming that the altered aura projects are a bastardization of the soul and against the natural state of the world.

Legedns of Avantis is the one with the Ghost Clown Chuckles, the small deranged mouse named Bitsy that is a full on conspieracy theorist, and Torbek who is the bugbear equivalant of Oscar the Grouch from Seaseme Street. They also did these things...

-Jaune's powerful Aura and lack of control with it means he's a bit like a space heater who feels good in your soul. So when winter comes, there's a bit of a contest over who gets to sit closest to him... And a battle over his lap.
Weiss isn't interested in the fighting for seating, after all, she's an Atlas girl, and she's used to much colder weather, and there's no way he's that much warmer than an ordinary space heater. To prove her wrong, the others then conspire to make sure the only seat left is by Jaune, so she has to sit next to him. When she does, her assumption that Jaune is no warmer than an ordinary space heater is proven correct, but she experiences something she didn't expect at all: he isn't just warm, he feels like Home, and Safety, and the embrace of someone who loves you unconditionally, which is something Weiss has almost never experienced, and she probably breaks down crying and hugging him.

Weiss is now fiercely competing for Jaune's lap in all future scenarios. (The other girls are not the best at long-term planning, and so did not expect this)
Salem: "Okay, so I stole you away from your loving family and raised you as my own in my plan to destroy humanity. And I also lied to you about them abandoning you. But I had good intentions, really!"
It's going to break his heart, because he genuinely does love and trust his "mother". The interesting bit is going to be Salem's reaction. Was he just a pawn, or did she genuinely care for him? Did she take him because he was valuable, or because she wanted a son of her own?

Maybe he'll join the heroes and try to save the world… by finding a way to give his mother the final peace she seeks, because as betrayed as he might feel, I don't think she'll ever stop being his mother to him, not completely.
"My name's Nick, what's yours?" He asked.

"... Blake," she decided on.

"That's a nice name," Nick, the Rusted Knight, said with a nod.
So, if Jaune becomes the Rusted Knight in this timeline, will Blake mistake him for Nick? Blake knows the story of the Rusted Knight, so it implies Jaune still falls and gets stuck… unless the Rusted Knight isn't what we think it is? What if the Rusted Knight isn't a person, but a mantle? A role in a story that Jaune fit into, with him being just the latest Rusted Knight? It would fit the storybook nature of the Ever After and allow you to have the Rusted Knight without torturing Jaune.
Basically, Nick Arc finds and rescues Blake. Despite herself, she trusts him because while he's a little off in some ways, in his full Armor? He is a dead ringer for the Rusted Knight. He also read those fairy tales as a child. So they have something to bond over.

This could have happened before Jaune set out for Beacon, so Blake might go with him on the journey.
Well, your Sith family definitely won't be a fan of her, disliking the White Fang and Menagerie as they do, but I wonder what their reaction to realizing that she's been under the Fang since she was 12 (do we have a canon number?) and is trying to get better. Maybe Beacon gets a more balanced Blake, and, well, the Sith are based off of trickster spirits, so maybe they teach Blake a thing of two before she leaves.
Think of this Jaune as a mix of Harry Dresden and Dante sparda.
I thought I recognized that skull! So, how did it happen here?
Character concept: A tiger faunus named Colonel Sebastian Zaroff. He was a big Grimm and game hunter in Pandu, who killed many a Grimm. But he became twisted and obsessed with more challenging prey: Such as Hunters. When he was found out he fled to a private island. Salem entices him with the prospect of hunting powerful hunters.
The Most Dangerous Game. I remember that story. I wonder if Salem got his loyalty by promising him that he could hunt her/Ozma in the end?
Jaune ponders how to break the news to his team-

Nora: "JAUNE-JAUNE! You're going out with Yang?!"

Ah, right. He'd forgotten that he had to plan around Nora, not with her. As she announced this at the breakfast table. Weiss spat out her food in shock while Ruby gasped. Yang blushed. Pyrrha STARED. Blake blinked rapidly.

Jaune: "... Yes. We're going on a date. It's going to be fun and just us." He smiled at her. Yang smiled back.

Jaune's Brain: Good. I can't just say it's 'just a date' or it will hurt Yang's feelings. Like I'm not taking it seriously.

Jaune: "No reason to flip out, everyone."

Jaune's Brain: But I also need to not look too eager or I'll upset everyone-

Weiss: "I really don't know what you see in him! He's a brute, a ruffian!"

Yang: "You know, you saying that makes me want him more." winks at Jaune "I think I can take some roughness, how about you?"

Jaune: "I've seen you ride your motorcycle. I fear I may be in danger."

Yang: "HA! You wish I rode you like I did Bumblebee!"

Jaune: smiles and winks "Who knows? Maybe I'll find out."

Yang: bright red, but recovers with a giggle "Geez, you wax often, VB? That was a little too smooth."

Jaune: "Maybe not the best choice of words when it comes to riding a motorcycle. Good to know you're taking care of yourself though."

Yang is blushing so hard she might have steam coming out of her ears. She's covering Ruby's ears. Blake is very interested. Weiss is scandalized. Pyrrha looks very sad while Nora grins and Ren raises an eyebrow.

Jaune: "Gotcha." winks

Yang: "Geez!" snickers "Tone it down until after the kids are asleep, mister!"

Jaune: "Fair enough, Ma. Wouldn't want to scar them mentally."

Weiss: "YOU TWO ARE DISGUSTING!"

Ruby: "I don't know why you two are acting like this. I know all about sex."

Yang: "RUBY!"

Ruby: "What?"

After breakfast... Jaune meets with Pyrrha outside of the cafeteria.

Jaune: "You okay Pyr?"

Pyrrha: "Hm? I'm fine... Totally fine. You uh... You two seem very close."

Jaune's Brain: Oh shit... She loves Jaune still?! I am literally the opposite of a golden retriever! I'm like a grumpy terrier or something!

Jaune: "I mean... We're messing around. It's a date, yeah, but... We're not getting married. I do care about her, and uh... If we do get into a romantic relationship, then that will happen. If not? We'll stay friends."

Pyrrha: "O-Oh! I mean of course! I knew that."

Jaune nods.

Jaune: "Just in case you were... Concerned. About... Anything. I uh... I get the feeling you didn't have many friends. I-I mean, I could be wrong and I'm sorry if I'm presuming too much-"

Pyrrha: "You're... Not wrong."

Jaune: Bingo. "Well... I just want you to know that however things go, I do care for you Pyrrha. Very deeply."

Pyrrha blushes.

Jaune: "I mean... I care about everyone but uh... You're my partner." He takes her hands in his "I don't want to lose you."

Pyrrha: confused "You're not... H-Honestly? Um... I'm sometimes scared of losing you."

Jaune: "Me? Why?"

Pyrrha: "Well, uh... You talk a lot about... Um... Death. Like you nearly died. And you're so sad sometimes. I don't think you're suicidal or anything... Unless... Are you suicidal?"

Jaune: "I mean..." He sighs and rubs the back of his head, the memories from two people mixing and matching "... I thought about it once."

Pyrrha: eyes widen

Jaune: "It-It's okay. It's okay. It was a very dark time in my life. I just... I felt so helpless and useless and a burden on everyone. I wondered... I wondered if my family would be better off without me?"

Pyrrha: stares in shock

Jaune: "I'm much better now, Pyr. It's okay." smiles and hugs her to reassure her "All right? I won't give up my life unless there's literally no other way to... I dunno, save Vale. Or you."

Pyrrha: hugs him very tightly "I'll make sure that never happens."

Jaune: "Th-Thanks... Also... You can let go... Hard to breathe..."

Pyrrha: "O-Oh!" lets him go with a blush "S-Sorry!"

Yang: "Ahem."

Jaune: "Hey Yang." Wasn't doing anything wrong, don't act like you were! "Just talking with Pyrrha."

Yang: "Good... Let's go shopping!"

Jaune: "Huh?"

Yang: "Come on, would you rather go to a boring lecture on our light day or hang out with me?" wraps her arms around his and pulls him away significantly "Trying on clothes?"

Jaune: "When you put it that way, I'd have to be an idiot to turn you down."

Yang: "Yeah, and you're definitely not that!"

Yang and Pyrrha stare at eachother intensely. Jaune blinks.

Jaune's Brain: No way... Come on... They're not jealous of me. They're not. Come on...

Jaune: "See you tonight Pyrrha?"

Pyrrha: "Sure. Goodbye Jaune. Goodbye Yang."

Yang: "Later."

Yang drags Jaune off.

Jaune's Brain: Probably best to just tease her, clear the air

Jaune: "Didn't know you were the jealous type but it does fit."

Yang: "Wh-What?!" blushes bright red "No I'm not!"

Jaune: smiles "Didn't think so. But if you were jealous, we were just talking some personal stuff and we needed hugs. Hugs are pretty awesome, ya know?"

Yang: "Yeah. Totally."

Jaune's Brain: Okay so she might be a little jealous... Fuck.
So, the original post quoted at the top of this one seems to no longer exist. Do you know what happened there?
Maybe I was getting a clearer transmission from Remnant than Monty.
Nah, Monty was fine, it's his successors that bungled the rest.
Jaune: "Ummm... I think it was a mango? But again, it's all really fuzzy."

Ozpin: "At least it wasn't a peach then."

Jaune: "... Was... Was that a dad joke?"

Ozpin: "I think I'm entitled to make them."

Jaune: "Fair enough. Joke away."
I like this Ozma. He's old, but hasn't forgotten what it means to live.
No, I was just running on four hours of sleep when I began crossposting it over here so that's my bad.
I see the missing chapter is acknowledged then.
Ruby: "HA! Shows what you know! I got the idea WAY before I met her!"
…What order did she meet people in? I'm pretty sure Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha were all met after Blake, so a harem with Weiss and Yang? Interesting…
Jack's anger... Died away. His twin was crying like a baby, holding him so tightly it was almost painful.
So, Jack is seemingly accepting of this, at least a little, so how hard will he rationalize before he comes to the truth? "Jaune never abandoned me, he was young enough that his parents made the choice for him, but *he* didn't abandon me."
-Cardin and Coco have a family rivalry... From when they were both vassals of the Arc Dynasty of kings. So Jaune is able to bond with them a little over family history, but both Cardin and Coco have a tendency to let the family rivalry get out of hand.
Toss this one into the series where Jaune ends up king of Vale. Give them different roles and philosophies in how they respond to problems, both being effective but both being biased towards their own type of method. Cardin is the (eventual) Right Hand and general, aggressive and overt in his tactics, with a strong tendency towards simple tactics and solutions, though his application of them is not devoid of subtlety. Velvet is the (again, eventual) Left Hand and information master, being very content to wait for the ideal moment or strike or even to turn enemies against each other so they solve themselves. Her preferred solutions are indirect and much longer-term than Cardin's, and have more moving parts than his do.
What follows is Blake believing that Jaune's been corrupted and taking increasingly absurd measures to ensure he doesn't end up alone with the other girls.
Team RW_Y notice her behavior and stage an intervention: if she likes him, they'll just make her confess! (The fact that Jaune is still going for Weiss definitely doesn't hurt her desire to make sure he has another girl to pursue)
You have very good taste, my friend.
Blake: "It's porn-I mean-Ugh..."
Duck season fire!
Jaune: sighs "They're just roughhousing, Mister Duke. Don't mean anything by it, it's all just for fun."

Rooster: "... You're just as dense as your pa, Runt."
I feel like this Jaune understands what they feel for him, (especially after Pyrrha's breakdown trying to say "I love you," and what he said afterwards), and he's just not ready to sort through everything and make a choice.
Kali: "So do I~. Later!"
Oh? I'm sure Ilia wouldn't be too upset to find this out.
Blake: wince "Sorry. Old habits die hard."
I like Blake recognizing her issues and trying to be better, it's so much less frustrating than someone who is completely out of touch with what they come across as. (Or are)
"They're a corporate manufactured boy band whose musical talent could fill a thimble. Their composer's birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory that failed."
Ouch.
He found an eye of calm in the storm of his pain.



Of course... But why isn't it activating?!



He shut his eyes. He focused past the pain.



Come on... Come on... Activate, COME ON!
Well, this means that as long as his opponent has a weapon, so does he. That's a pretty neat upgrade.
Don't really know it well but I've been around enough to know most of the stands are song titles.... So couple of suggestions for Jaune's
Also band names, I believe.
Yes! It fits both with Jaune's character and insecurities at the beginning of his development, and is just a really awesome song. As for what he can do with it… I don't really know what the powerscale for stands is like, but maybe complete immunity to illusion and mental manipulation abilities and incredible endurance, so long as he has the will to keep going?
You know something I heard about that's a real mother fucker?

A Bastard Healer.

Basically they take disease and sickness from a person "healing" them. But the thing is they aren't actually healing shit just transferring the sickness to someone else.
That would be a nasty semblance to give Jaune, the ability to heal any wound… at a price. Sure, it's a terrifyingly powerful combat semblance, but if it's still touch-based he can't use it freely, and what do you want to bet the most common recipient would be himself? None of his friends would know, because his armor covers his wounds and his aura reserves are deep enough to heal him consistently, but when they find out? A semblance is the manifestation of something core to a person, and Jaune's semblance is the ability to sacrifice another's well being, usually his own, for another's sake.
