Jaune Arc was many things, well in HIS mind at least. To the world around him he was always known as the "blonde, scraggly, kid". Heck even his parents agreed-course they didn't admit it- but you could tell they agreed, well except for the oblivious Jaune Arc. But one night at the age of 10 Jaune overhears his parents talking about him.

"Honey he's the only boy kid in this family you know I have to train him." Jaune's father(John) says to his wife(Joanne)

"But John you've seen Jaune, i know i never would tell him this but it's probably immpossible to make Jaune hunter material." At this Jaune froze. 'Wow even my own mother thinks im a failure, but i can prove the whole world wrong... right...?'

Then Jaune had this a~mazing idea. 'I could... maybe run away and train myself in the woods like some heroes did in dad's stories' Jaune thinks to himself.

Being a kid Jaune didn't understand all the risks during that time-Grimm and other nasty thingies in the forest and such-so Jaune stole Crocea Mors and the shield/sheath and trudged off into the wilderness. But not before bringing a whole bag full of his favorite snacks and drinks.

'I have the strangest feeling im definetly gonna regret this soon' Jaune starts 'But im gonna ignore it cuz this is most definetly the best thing to do.'

[Time skip day after Jaune left, Arc household]

"MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM" "WHAT!" Jaune's twin sister, sapphire, was banging on her mom's door. Said door got opened my Joanne and she was greeted by a teary eyed sapphire. "Honey, what's wrong?" Joanne asked this slowly fearing something really, really bad happened.

"Its...Jaune...he..." Sapphire just burst into tears and buried her face into the crook of her mom's neck. "H-honey, wh-what about Jaune?" 'Did Jaune somehow hear the conversation last night?' Jeanne mentally asked herself praying to the lords he didn't.

"H-he... lef-left into the...forest." Sapphire said between choked sobs.

Jeanne's eyes widened and she started bawling alond with sapphire, she couldn't help herself.

John just heard the both of them and ran up the stairs shouting "WHAT'S WRONG?!"

Jeanne and Sapphire just retold what the latter told the former. You would guess that he didn't care much at all by just looking at him, but inside he was mentally screaming his lungs off ' WHY WHY WHY?! ITS ALL MY FAULT GOD DAMMIT!'

They all retold this again to all the other 6 sisters-Joan,reagen,Ciel,Brooks, megan, and taylor-they all had seemingly the same reaction as sapphire's.

John got a team of hunters to go and find Jaune out in the forest to no avail.

It took 2 years for the whole family to start to become normal again and still Jaune hasn't been found. They soon gave up.

A hooded figure stood on a tree branch gazing at the house with longing eyes. Pulling back his hood to reveal his blond hair and blue eyes.

"I'm sorry i made this descision." ,he started somberly," But it was most definetly for the best." With that he jumped away on

the other branches with his hilt and sword at his side.

[Time skip 7 years after Jaune ran away]

A figure slowly approached a pack of beowolves, being as stealthy as possible while gripping the hilt of Crocea Mors.

He ran up and sliced one of the beowolves in half using the momentum to slash another. He backflipped and and stabbed forward at a third beowolf.

He made a gauntlet of aura and absolutley pummled the pack. Figuratively and literally.

He was met with slow clapping by a familiar face, his master. "Well Jaune that was certainly better than your last few attempts." a feminine voice said with a smirk.

"Raven~" Jaune groaned," I had a fractured arm remember?"

"And why did you have that fractured arm Jaune?" Raven said with an even bigger smirk.

"Uh I-I uh... SHUT UP!" He tried to retort but to no avail as he was red faced from embarrassment .

Raven just burst out laughing at Jaune's outburst and ruffled his hair affectionately. " Well at least you should have no problem getting into beacon with your skills and my reccomendation." she says with a smile.

Jaune just smiles back, happy he's finally gonna get some human interactions, but he is a bit nervous seeing as the only person he's ever talked to for 7 years is Raven.

They finally made their way out of the forest and into a city with a dust plane loading people in.

"Good luck." Raven whispers and turns to walk but gets stopped by a hand on her shoulder. "Thank you." Jaune says this in barely a whisper . Raven merely smiles and walks back into the forest.

Jaune finally starts to walk to the dust plane thinking, ' Why do i feel like im forgetting something that will knock my pride down by alot?' he mentally asks himself as he gets on the plane.

He gets this nauseous feeling as he sits down mentally remembering ' oh yea moti... HURGH' Trying his best not empty his stomach on the plane.

Ruby saw a blonde guy looking very, VERY uncomfortable. She walked to his seat and asked, "You OK?" The bonde just looks up and shakes his head mumbling ,"Motion sickness."

'ah that's why' Ruby thinks to herself.

"Anything I can do to help?" Ruby asks a bit worried, both because of Jaune's predicament and the fact that he might puke on her.

"J-just rub my back." He whispers. Ruby starts to rub his back somewhat awkwardly and Jaune instantly feels a bit better.

"Thanks miss...?" Jaune asks finally able to say words without whispering. "Rose. Ruby Rose.

And you are?"

"Jaune Arc. Short sweet rolls of the tounge, Ladies love it." Ruby snickers. "Do they?" Jaune just shrugs.

A blonde girl starts walking to Ruby and Jaune with a big grin plastered on her face. "I see your making friends already." The blonde girl says to which Ruby just sticks out her tounge. "Yang this is Jaune, I just helped him with a motion sickness problem."

"Oooooo~ sup vomit boy." Jaune groans, "Hey i didn't actually vomit." nevertheless he sticks out his hand, "Jaune Arc" he says to yang. "Yang. Yang Xiaolong"

"This is very rude of me to ask but aren't you a bit young to be in Beacon?" Jaune asks. Ruby looks down slightly and mumbles ," Yes im 15." Jaune just shrugs," Meh"

Ruby looks genuinely surpirsed. Jaune catches her wierd stare and says," What? This also might sound rude but just because your 2 years younger than us doesn't make you more

special than anyone. If you think about it everyone is special because they got into Beacon."

Ruby stares in awe ," Yea i guess your right." she says with a smile. Yang snickers ," My aren't you prince charming." Jaune just looks at Yang blankly and asks ,"Uhm what does that mean?"

Yang facepalms when they hear the intercom say,"we're landing grab your stuff."

"Cmon lets go." Jaune says to the two. They follow him outside and stare in awe at how

big Beacon is. "Wow thats huge!" Ruby exclaims looking at the school. "Yea it's bigger than signal!" Yang exclaims sharing Ruby's enthusiasum. Meanwhile Jaune has no idea why they think it's cool. He just ask," You guys ready?" "Yea/Hell Yes" Ruby and Yang call out respectively. "Then lets go." They start walking to the enormous building.

-Page Break-

In a time span of 2 minutes. Jaune and Ruby get ditched by Yang, leaving them clueless as to where they should go. Ruby accidentally falls over a certain icy heiress's luggage and makes a mess of things. Which leads to where Jaune and Ruby are walking now. Ruby currently asking about motion sickness.

"I'll have you know motion sickness is a more common problem than people let on!" Jaune says to Ruby to which Ruby apologizes saying," Im sorry vomit boy is just the first thing that came to mind."

'Revenge shall be sweet!' Jaune thinks to himself. "No it's ok...crater face." Jaune says trying his best. not to laugh at Ruby's face. "That explosion was an accident!" Ruby exclaims.

After their nicknaming session the talk went to weapons. Ruby showing Jaune Crescent Rose.

"This is Crescent Rose, She's my baby~" Ruby says cooing over her weapon. "What do you have?"

"Well my primary weapon is my trusty sword Crocea Mors and the sheath/shield. No special features just f..amily heirlooms." Jaune explains. "Oooo a classic!" Ruby exclaims. Jaune chuckles," Well if you want to look at it that way. Anyways my secondary weapons are the two dust pistols, sunset and horizon. I make all the dust rounds and the clips can hold 12 rounds each." Jaune says while handing Ruby the guns.

"Woah! The craftmenship is amazing!" Ruby says. 'Well Raven did say that a master forger made it' Jaune mentally muses then remembers something." Hey Ruby you know where were going?" He asks. "Oh no i was following you." She absent-mindedly replies. Jaune face-palms. Ruby uses her semblance to rush them back to the entrance and into the crowd.

"Ruby, Jaune, I saved you a spot!" Yang calls out to them. Ruby starts to recount what happened right after Ya left but Yang just laughed to her hearts content. That is until a certain heiress started to berate Ruby on needing to be carefull when being a huntress and all that jazz.

"Hi Weiss, I'm Ruby. Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies." Weiss's eybrow twitched as she oh so very sarcastically said," Yea and we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys like... tall blonde and scraggly over there." They all looked at Jaune to which he just shrugged. "Wow really!?" Ruby asks hopefully. Weiss just looks at her and says,"no".

Ozpin then comes out onto the stage to start his speech. "I'll keep this brief. You come here in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and aquire new skills and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your lives to the protection of the people. But i look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you from this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It's up to you to take the first step." with that ozpin walks off the stage and Glynda steps up,"You will all gather into the ballroom tonight. Tommorow, your initiation begans. Be ready."

"Did Headmaster Ozpin seem off to you or was it just me?" Ruby quietly asks Jaune to which Jaune replies," I noticed it too, it was like he wasn't even there." he mused

-Page Break-

Jaune was just lying his back against the wall, one leg out the other bent back, his head resting on the latter. He felt a tap on his shoulder and looked up to see Ruby in her pyjamas. "Aren't you gonna change into you pajamas?" Ruby asks him. "Oh i never had pajamas since I've been living in a forest for the past 7 years." Jaune replies like it's nothing. Ruby just says ," No seriously why?" Jaune looks up ," I'm not joking." he deadpans.

To this ruby's jaw drops and she's about to say something when she gets interuppted by her Yang and Weiss arguing. "I'm gonna try to stop them, night Jaune." Ruby says as she walks tomthe arguing students. "Night Rubes." Jaune calls out.

He slips on his earbuds and succumbs to the darkness.
