AN: Hello. And if you don't know on what is happening, let me summarize what has happened. Ever since I rebooted this, I slowly got reviews where it was simply on how they wanted it a story THEY wanted to read. But, not a story I'M proud of. I know I am being selfish about what I did, but when I look back on the rebooted story, it had some gaps in the story-line.

It had multiple parts on where it could show improvement, but there were parts that were also grammatically incorrect. I even showed completely random sentences to try and see if anyone would question it! When writing it, I was trying to add a comedic spin to the story, but it went in a completely different direction of what the story originally intended.

So...I decided to improve the reboot.

Here are the changes for the third reboot. Jaune will still be a Jäger, and he will have his friends from Earth to tag along as well, meaning that Team JAGR will still be here. That also means that Abraham and his posse will also be with them, and they will still be evil.

Also, as I previously mentioned in the second reboot, it would have some elements from G.I. Joe, but it didn't have that much elements. So instead, I will have a story where it would mostly have technologically-advanced warfare, but Marcus and Ryo will still be ninjas, just with more advanced technology. But there won't be any energy weapons, until they get to Remnant.

Jaune, will revert to a younger age, but will be taken a step further. He'll have his Aura suppressed on his time on Earth, until he returns on Remnant. But he will have no nano-bots, because when thinking back on it, someone asked me about the nano-bots and Aura, a concept that I am really confused about. But he will still have SERENITY. This will also take place after Jaune's confrontation with Cardin. Meaning that Jaune will miss a lot on Remnant.

Also, I have decided that I will be the one that will decide the semblances for the OCs and Jaune. So that way, I won't end up having reviews on how they wanted something completely different from others.

Finally, this is an Arkos Fanfiction. I have decided this ever since the very first attempt at the first Arc of Warfare story. Ruby and Jaune will have a brother/sister relationship.

Now that I have said everything that was on my mind. It is now time that I get this reboot started.

HERE WE GO!

'Jäger', the German word for 'Hunter'.

'Bestie', the German word for 'Beast'.

To some, they are nothing more but words. But to others, they have meaning.

My name is Jaune Arc, a Jäger...

Beacon Academy -

It was an ordinary day for the students of Beacon Academy. However, for a first-year team of huntsmen & huntresses, this day was a great day for them.

The team was consisted of two boys and two girls.

The first girl, was dressed in red and gold armor, with a sword and shield that was also red and gold. She had long, red hair, tied into a long ponytail, and emerald eyes. She was one of the top fighters in Beacon Academy, and was practically a celebrity in Mistral.

Meet Pyrrha Nikos.

The second girl was shorter than Pyrrha, with short, orange hair, and turquoise eyes. She wore clothing that was black, pink, and white, with a hammer strapped onto her back. She was an orphan, alongside one of the boys, since her childhood.

Meet Nora Valkyrie.

The boy that was an orphan alongside Nora, was by far the most quietest person they've met. He had long, black hair, with a magenta streak, and magenta eyes. Even though he had no weapons on him, he has dual pistols with blades, concealed in his sleeves.

Meet Lie Ren.

Finally, there was the last member of their team, a blonde boy with dark-blue eyes. He was dressed casually, with a hoodie, jeans, and some white armor. Strapped to his side was an old sword and shield.

Meet Jaune Arc.

They formed Team JNPR.

It was nearly twenty-four hours since Jaune had stood up against Cardin Winchester, who threatened to have Jaune kicked out of Beacon. But, after kicking the ass of an Ursa, Jaune made sure that he and his team, were safe. And so, Jaune decided that they entire team would head to the Emerald Forest, and train harder than before. It was also the day that Jaune revealed his transcripts to the rest of his team.

He thought that Ren & Nora would see him differently, but it was quite the opposite. After telling them that he ran away, trying to prove himself, and his parents telling him it was okay if he didn't became a huntsman, Nora had him in a bone-crushing hug, bawling her eyes out. Ren, was at first surprised to hear this about his leader, but continued to see Jaune as his friend and leader.

Jaune, was lucky he had friends like them.

Emerald Forest -

As soon as JNPR got to the Emerald Forest, they all began to train, which slowly went down hill. Jaune, was getting his ass handed to him, to say the least, by everyone in his team.

Ren was fast, Nora was strong, and Pyrrha was skilled, everything he wasn't. He was on his knees, growling in anger, and Pyrrha slowly walked towards him, a hand offering to get him back on his feet. But, he swatted the hand away, and spat,

"I don't your pity."

"Jaune, we're - "

"I SAID I DON'T WANT IT!"

Pyrrha flinched when her leader raised his voice, and was looking at him with sad eyes. She was helping him the best she could, everyone was, but Jaune, he was the only one who didn't see it that way. He saw that he was the weak link in the team, something the three people didn't saw him as. Jaune rose to his feet, and continued to rant,

"All my life, I was weak. All of it. I knew, I always knew that fact. So, don't stand there and tell me that I'M NOT!"

"But you are! Jaune, please! Why can't you see that?"

Pyrrha had tears leaking out of her eyes, as she was desperately trying to prove her love-interest wrong, trying to show that he was strong. See walked closer to him, and said,

"Jaune, I know that you ARE strong. But, you need to - "

SLAP!

Pyrrha stumbled back, as a red hand-print was on her face, eyes widened in shock, as well as Ren & Nora's eyes. Jaune just slapped her, and seethed,

"Don't tell me that 'I need to know that I am strong'! After all, how could you know what I went through - "

Before he could even finish his sentence, Pyrrha ran towards him, and hugged him, crying her eyes out. The blonde, was numb, before realization slapped him across the face. He mumbled,

"Pyrrha, I'm - I'm so sorry."

As she still hugged him, he returned the hug. He felt his eyes were all dripping in tears. Tears of regret, pain, and sadness.

"Jaune, you're right. I don't understand what you went. But now, what you'll go through in the future, me, Ren, and Nora would be right alongside you."

As they slowly separated from the hug, a roar snapped JNPR back to reality, and saw a horde of Grimm after them. It was mostly Beowolves, and an Alpha one. They weren't surprised when they saw the Grimm, knowing that all of the negative emotions Jaune and Pyrrha created would attract them to their location.

Team JNPR took out their weapons, and stood their ground, as the Grimm began to charge at them.

Jaune's POV -

"Hold on guys, the Bullhead is on its way!"

What happened? This was supposed to be a simple training mission! Damn it! This horde came to us, because I was weak, and now my team has to help me clean this disaster. As I decapitated the head of a Beowolf, I took a few steps back and looked at my team. Nora was smashing Grimm with her hammer, and Ren was behind her, shooting and slashing at the Grimm, and Pyrrha was taking on multiple Grimm at once, barely breaking a sweat.

She looked at my direction, and had her sword in 'rifle-mode', and shot in my direction, killing a Beowolf that was behind me. She told me,

"Jaune, you need to more aware of your - "

But she didn't finish her sentence, because the Alpha slashed at her, sending her flying a few feet away, and her weapons were no longer in her hands. Everything around me slowly faded into black, until the only thing I saw was the Alpha. It began to charge at Pyrrha again, but I ran straight for it, getting on it's back as I did.

I didn't care that I was going to die because of this. I didn't care if we were going to survive this with a few scratches. But, what I do care, is seeing my partner getting hurt because of me.

I'll be damned.

The Alpha Beowolf was smarter than it looked, and began to run towards the cliff, hoping that I might've let go as soon as we reached the edge. But, the Alpha stopped, realizing that I wasn't planning on letting go, so it began to buck back and forth, trying to throw me off it's back. Pyrrha was running towards me, yelling at me to get off, but then it happened.

The ground beneath Alpha's feet gave away, and it took me down with it. The only thing I hear was Pyrrha screaming.

"JAUNE!"

As I was plummeting to my death, I began to think about the choices I made, bringing me to my inevitable death.

I can't believe it. I'm actually gonna die.

Why did I do this?

I ran away from home, bought fake transcripts from this guy in an alleyway, became the leader of my own team, and didn't even see it through all the way. I can't believe that I wanted to live a kid's fairy tale.

I can't believe that Pyrrha wasted -

Pyrrha. Pyrrha Nikos.

I JUST saved Pyrrha Nikos!

If I'm going to die, at I'm gonna die saving someone, rather than being saved.

Sorry, guys. Looks like you have to go on without me...

Pyrrha's POV -

"JAUNE!"

As I saw Jaune plummet down, I was about to run towards the edge, but two Beowolves got in my away. I continued to run, heading towards them, and as I was close, I threw my shield at them, hitting one in the face, where I proceeded to decapitate the head, and lodged Miló in it's 'rifle-mode' in the mouth of the other Beowolf, unloading the entire clip inside.

With the Grimm dead, I peered over the edge of the cliff, and tried to see if Jaune was down there. I turned around, and saw that the horde was now gone, Ren and Nora running towards me. I told them,

"Get the Bullhead! We have to check if Jaune's alright!"

"Pyrrha...no one - not even Jaune - can survive a fall like that."

"Don't say that Ren! Jaune's our leader, and you want to abandon him - "

"We aren't abandoning him! It's just...we have to accept the fact... that he's...dead."

I looked at Ren with anger, but it changed, as I saw that his eyes had tears running down his face as spoke. Nora, wasn't even trying to hold in the tears, as she wrapped her arms around me, crying her eyes out. Then, I began to cry as well.

Crying that our leader was gone.

Crying that our friend was gone.

Crying that Jaune was gone.

Beacon Tower -

Sitting behind a desk, was none other than Headmaster Ozpin of Beacon.

He was a middle-aged man with white hair, brown eyes, and wore a black and green suit. Next to him, was his Deputy-Headmistress, Glynda Goodwitch. She was a middle-aged woman with blonde hair, and green eyes. She wore a white top, black skirt, and has a tattered, purple cape on her back.

Both the Headmaster & Deputy-Headmistress, looked at the remains of Team JNPR, with shocked and saddened expressions. After hearing the tragic lost of Jaune Arc, they both had similar reactions.

They both stayed silent, and showed empathy in their eyes. Jaune Arc, even though he wasn't a great student, he did show promise. It was something Glynda didn't saw in him at first, but Ozpin did instantly. Jaune was a leader, and friend, who was willing to put his life on the line for his friends.

Sadly, it costed him his life.

Ozpin, slowly uttered,

"I am sorry for your lost. Mr. Arc, was a great student, leader, and friend overall. I just wish that he could still be here."

"Thank you, sir, we all do."

"Tell me, Ms. Nikos, did you acquired his family sword?"

Pyrrha walked towards his desk, and placed a white sword and shield onto his table. It was an old weapon, one that had serviced in the Great War, Crocea Mors. It was the only thing that was left of Jaune Arc.

"What's going to happen to his sword?"

"Beacon will have it returned to Mr. Arc's family, with a letter to explain what has happened of him."

As Ozpin heard the words come out of his mouth, he winced at how it sounded. How was a letter going to explain the death of the eldest son in the Arc family? The elevator doors opened, and out came Team RWBY.

Ruby Rose was the young leader of the team, dressed in black and red, with matching hair and silver eyes.

Weiss Schnee was the heiress of SDC, dressed in white, and has pale blue eyes, with a scar over her left eye.

Blake Belladonna was the hidden Faunus of the team, dressed in mostly black, with a bow that occasionally twitches.

Yang Xiao Long was the blonde brawler and final member of the team, dressed in brown, black, orange. Her hair was long, and has lilac eyes.

As they entered the office, they immediately felt the tension in the air. Weiss, was first one to break free from this feeling, and looked at Ozpin,

"Did something happened, Headmaster?"

"Sadly, yes. You see, Jaune Arc...is dead."

As soon as Team RWBY heard the words come out of his mouth, they tried to deny it. But, they saw the sword laying on top of his desk, and their reactions varied,

"N-no..."

"How...?"

"H-he's dead...actually dead?"

"This isn't funny, sir."

"This isn't a joke, Ms. Xiao Long."

Ruby, immediately ran to her sister, and began sobbing onto her shoulder, while she tried to comfort her. Both Weiss & Blake, simply looked at the floor, sad expressions on both their faces. Even though they didn't knew Jaune that well, they were still considered as friends to the blonde, and felt sad knowing his fate.

Somewhere in Vale -

A married couple, both in their mid-forties, looked at Crocea Mors, and the letter attached to it.

The man, had dark-blonde hair and green eyes. He was dressed in casual clothing, with two crescent moons on the back of the jacket. The woman, had brown hair and blue eyes. She was dressed in black pants, and a blue blouse, with her hair tied in a small ponytail.

They were Benjamin and Elizabeth Arc, the parents of eight children, the oldest in Beacon.

Or was in Beacon.

The letter read:

Mr. & Mrs. Arc -

I am sorry to inform you that your son, Jaune Arc, has been killed during his time in Beacon Academy.

However, the letter was immediately destroyed, as soon as it said that Jaune, their son, was killed. Elizabeth, had set the letter on fire, then proceeded to destroy the living room she and Benjamin was in. Her husband, had instantly stood up, and was stopping his wife from causing more damage.

"Lizzie! Calm down!"

"Calm down? Calm down!? HOW!? Jaune is dead! How can you be okay with this!?"

She looked her husband in the eye, and saw that he was full on crying. He enveloped Elizabeth in a tight hug, and said,

"Lizzie. I'm not okay, I will never be okay. But, I - we - have to be strong for our girls."

"The girls...Oh, Ben..."

The two just stayed in their hug, silently crying for the loss of their son.

Jaune Arc, was gone on Remnant...

Unknown Area -

Jaune Arc, was slowly waking up, groaning in pain, as he stood up in a hospital bed. He opened his eyes, but immediately regretted so, as he was blinded from lights in the room he was in. Then, in a dry voice, he talked to himself,

"Uh...what happened?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he had closed his mouth as fast as he did. He slowly opened his mouth again, and spoke two words,

"How the..."

Jaune got out of the bed, and noticed that he was shorter than the hospital bed. He began to search the room he was in, and finally found what he was looking for: a mirror. He looked at his reflection, and his eyes widened at what he saw. He was younger, and way younger.

He was seven years old. He looked at his body, and noticed that his clothes were gone, and in their place was a hospital gown. Before he could even process what was going on, the door opened, and Jaune turned around, and saw someone on front of him.

There was a man, who appeared to be in his late-forties, and was dressed in a olive green uniform. He had an average build, with graying hair on the sides, and his eyes were a dull-grey. It didn't take Jaune to realize that he appeared to be a general. But he didn't knew which Kingdom the man before him was affiliated with, so it made him nervous looking at the general. The general looked at him, and spoke to him, in a surprisingly calm voice,

"Hey, kid. I know you have a lot of questions, they'll be answered, but not right now. My name is General Ezekiel Hawk. And what I'm going to say to you, is going to sound confusing but..."

He reached into one of his inner pockets, and pulled out a small tablet. He pressed a button on the tablet, and a hologram of multiple diagrams opened up. But, what really caught Jaune's attention, was an emblem.

A wolf's head, and underneath the head was a single word. A word that he muttered, and will forever, change his life.

"Jäger..."

AN: And that was the first chapter of the new Arc of Warfare! So, what did you guys think?

Also, thank you guys for reading the story for a third time, and once again, sorry for doing this again. Anyways, the next chapter will have Jaune's entire life on a completely different planet. And that means, he'll meet his friends, and his enemy.

See ya later!
