Hey guys Hawkeyes here and well I went back and read through the chapters and honestly I'm not happy with what I saw. It honestly felt rushed and half assed so I went back and this is what chapter 1 became. Let me know what you think in the reviews so I can go back and make the others match this.

Jaune awoke to the sun shining through his dorm window and smiled as he stretched eliciting a loud series of pops from his back and joints. Standing from the pile of mattresses, pillows, and blankets on the ground that he slept on since his team was gone for the week. *I'm a little sad that everyone left for the break but at least I can sleep normally instead of that onesie mom packed*, he thought to himself.

He walked into the restroom and looked at himself in the mirror. Jaune stood at 6ft3in tall with dark cobalt blue eyes, messy blond hair, a toned body with three scars running diagonally from his left shoulder to his right hip. Jaune ran his fingers over jagged scars and let out a long sigh.

30 minutes later

Jaune stepped out of the restroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and made his way over to his nightstand noticing he had a missed call. When he saw who the call was from he called back immediately and was greeted by a 13 year old violet haired little girl with sky blue eyes who had an ear to ear smile. Seeing her smile Jaune let a chuckle out and said "Hey Sapphire how's my little spitfire of a sister doing?"

Sapphire Arc blushed crimson at hearing the nickname her brother gave her and blushed harder at the giggle she heard from behind her. "Jaune. I asked you not to call me that anymore" she said in a whiny voice. She was joined by a girl who was a carbon copy of her except her smile was small and shy. "Hey big brother" Velvet Arc twin sister to Sapphire said.

Jaune looked at his little sisters with a loving smile on his face and asked "Velvet, Sapphire how are you two doing? Are you watching out for each other, Leonie and Mia like I said to?" Both answered in Unison "Yes big brother, and we're doing fine." Jaune nodded in approval and asked about how their training was going and other things about their lives.

Velvet left after a deep male voice called her away telling Jaune that she would call him later. Jaune looked at Sapphire with a serious look and asked "Are those older guys still giving you both trouble? I still have three days of break left and it only takes half a day to make it home if they are." Jaune said the last part with a protective growl at the end and flecks of gold in his eyes that went unnoticed by Sapphire.

"We're fine big brother they still haven't come any where near Velvet and I after you and Alex confronted them. What did the two of you even say to them anyways?" she asked with a tilt of her head. Jaune had a flashback of him running his claws through sheet metal, leaving deep marks and threatening to do the same to them if they didn't leave the younger twins alone. "Nothing much, we just reminded them about common decency" he quickly lied.

Sapphire rolled her eyes and gave her brother a disbelieving look, but still gave her brother a smile. "Even if you don't tell me, I'm still thankful Jaune. Anyways you might be on break but Velvet and I aren't. You never said mom and dad were such slave drivers."

Jaune chuckled and waved at his sister before hanging up. He stood looking at his scroll before tossing it onto his bed and absentmindedly tracing the scar on his torso. "I won't let anyone hurt them, even if I have to take the hits for them." He whispered quietly.

Jaune began getting dressed in the new armor his grandfather sent him which included a new white chest piece with gold trim that covered more of his torso, white gauntlets with gold trim that partially protected his forearms, and had small gaps at the fingertips so his claws could extend without hurting them or destroying the gauntlets. The new armor also included white armored greaves to protect his shins. Jaune looked at himself and smiled picking up the letter that was attached to the package.

"Jaune I hope this package reaches you in good health. I hope you enjoy the new armor and that it serves you well your grandmother would be proud of the man you're becoming just as I am. You're destined for great things Jaune. You'll do our family Legacy proud." Jaune smiled and put the note away in his nightstand.

Jaune strapped Crocea Mors to his belt and looked back into his drawer reaching in and retrieving a holster that he fastened to his right hip. Taking a deep breathe Jaune retrieved an Ivory white handgun with "blanc" engraved on the barrel from the drawer holstering it. *Guess now is as good a time as any to work of my aim with Blanc, Alex did force me to take him when I decided to run away*

Jaune smiled at the feeling having the pistol on his hip gave him. Feeling like he was whole for the first time in months he set out for the cliff that lead into the Emerald forest. Once Jaune reached the cliff from initiation he began repelling down to the forest floor. *Alright Arc, Pyrrah said that what I'm lacking most is experience. So all I have to do is use the holiday break to train against real opponents besides what's the worst that can happen. I'm only going to fight a few beowolves. Were the thoughts running through his head as he set out to begin his hunt.

Jaune's feet touched ground and he quickly unclipped the hook from his belt that fastened him to the rope he had been climbing. Looking around he closed his eyes to listen for any nearby Grimm when he was sure he was alone he unsheathed Crocea Mors and stabbed it into the ground before kneeling, with both his hands holding onto the grip of his sword.

"I ask the brothers to watch over me as I set out on my hunt.

I ask my ancestors to ready a place for me in their halls if I should fall today.

Brother of darkness guard my soul from all evil that would do me harm.

Brother of light bless me with the strength to strike down my enemy."

Jaune pulled Crocea Mors from the dirt and stood, raising his shield and smiling nervously into the darkness past the trees. "Will you keep me waiting all day, or will I have to come for you." His only answer was a multitude of growls and glowing red eyes becoming visible in the shadows. Jaune kept the cliff face to his back so the Grimm couldn't surround him, and began counting the sets of eyes while he went over what he knew of beowolves from ports lectures.

Beowolves

Bipedal werewolf like Grimm with a slight hunch. Have spikes sticking out of it's back to help keep their blindspot from being exploited. Mostly attack in packs preferring to overwhelm prey with a flurry pod fangs and claws.

The first Grimm to charge at him left it's stomach open giving him the perfect area to bury his shield into. Jaune slammed his shield into it's stomach using the momentum from it's charge to lift it over his head and slam it into the ground behind him quickly turning and stabbing it through it's open maw.

After making sure the Grimm started to evaporate he turned and was greeted by two beowolves slowly making their way out of the shadows. Jaune felt the little bit of confidence he gained from killing the first Grimm instantly leave him when he recalled all the warnings his grandfather gave of comrades who's overconfidence got them killed. *Ok Jaune you can do this it's only two more*

The Beowulf on the left charged and was greeted by a face full of steel when Jaune bashed it's head in with his shield stabbing it through the neck. Before he could pull his sword out of the Grimm he was tackled by a second Grimm. Jaune turned his shield back into a sheathe when he hit the ground and brought it up to keep the Grimm from tearing his throat out. Bringing his legs up Jaune planted good feet in the Grimm's chest and pushing with all his strength.

The Grimm was shoved off and before it could raise itself back up Jaune had drawn Blanc and fired off five shots into it's chest. The Grimm fell and began evaporating while Jaune sat to catch his breathe listening to see if any other Grimm would come. When none did he stood and reloaded the handgun before holstering the weapon and retrieving Crocea Mors. *Ok small break then head deeper into the forest to hunt more.*

(A few hours later)

"Alright I'd say today was a successful day of training" the blonde said to himself as he watched the last Beowolf fade into black mist. Jaune decided to head back to Beacon but froze once he heard the cries of a child and the growls of grimm. *How did a kid get into the emerald forest* his thoughts were cut off when he heard an Ursa roar.

Jaune rushed to where he heard the cries coming from, the sea of trees gave way to a clearing with a single tree standing at its center. An ancient oak stood tall and strong and at its base was a basket with a crying baby. Jaune saw a group of three Beowolves and an Ursa Major slowly walking towards the basket as if they were savoring the negative emotions coming off the child.

Jaune saw the grimm closing in on the basket and suddenly it wasn't a random baby anymore it was Sapphire the day Jaune got his scar when she was attacked by a Beowolf. Jaune saw red and charged the Beowolf closest to him surprising the grimm and cleaving it in two before shifting the sheathe into his shield taking a defensive position in front of the baby letting out a growl from deep in his chest.

The remaining grimm growled at the intruder. The Ursa growled and looked at both beowolves who began moving so they were on either side of Jaune with the Ursa keeping its position in front of him. Jaune glared and slowly backed up to the basket watching the grimm in case they rushed them. Once he reached the basket he knelt down and gave the baby a quick look over.

It was a little girl dressed in a pink onesie with red hair and a pair of red fox ears twitching as she cried. Jaune stabbed hos sword into the ground, keeping his eyes on the grimm he pulled the little blanket up to protect the baby from the cold.

Jaune stood and pulled his sword from the ground and said "Brother of light grant me strength, brother of darkness protect me. Black hound guide me." He looked at the beowolf to his left and gave a feral grin. "Come and get me mutt I'll tear you apart!" he roared.

The beowolf let out an enraged roar charging at the blond knight who used his shield to block the swipe at his head and swiped at the beowolves torso but it was deflected by its claws before it jumped back growling. Jaune was prepared to charge when he heard quick steps coming up behind him forcing him to roll to his left dodging the tackle from the second beowolf.

Jaune stabbed Crocea Mors into the ground before grabbing some dust crystals he kept in the pouch on his belt and tossing them onto the ground around the clearing. Drawing his pistol Jaune shot the ground in front of one of the beowolves causing it to charge him. Jaune let a feral grin grace his face as he shot the red dust crystal the beowolf was running over causing it to explode in a light show of flames.

The remaining Beowolf regrouped with the Ursa who growled lowly in patterns to the beowolf. Jaune watched them carefully keeping himself between them and the tree. The Ursa charged forward with a roar and swung at him with its paw, which he blocked with his shield, but was thrown back to the other side of the clearing. He slowly lifted himself up only to see the beowolf had ran around him while he was distracted with the Ursa it charged towards the basket.

Jaune roared and charged the Ursa throwing his shield to distract it while he slid underneath it and kept running ripping Crocea Mors from the ground, tackling the beowolf causing both to roll and land face to face. Both roared and swiped at each other, which both dodged by jumping back to gain some distance. Jaune switched Crocea Mors to his left hand and drew the pistol with his right. He charged the grimm going for an overhead strike that it blocked with its claws. Jaune grinned and shoved the muzzle of his pistol under its head and fired off two shots blowing it's head into mist.

Letting out a tired sigh Jaune stood and faced the last grimm, the Ursa Major. They circled each other each squaring up the other and waiting to see who would make the first move. Jaune looked the grimm in the eyes and saw a cruel, almost sadistic kind of intelligence. He saw a multitude of old wounds and scars meaning the grimm had been around for a few years. He knew he was at a disadvantage but stood his ground steeling his resolve for this last fight.

Jaunes irises began to glow a bright gold as he subconsciously released his aura into the air. He stabbed Crocea Mors into the ground and holstered his pistol. He extended his claws and crouched down ready to pounce on his prey. The Ursa stood on its hind legs and let out a roar as it hit the ground causing a fissure in the ground to appear heading straight for Jaune. He jumped to the right and rolled before straightening and charging at the Ursa, ducking under its claws he swung his at it's throat.

The Ursa stood on it's hind legs causing Jaune to only leave a shallow cut. It tried to slam it's heavy body onto Jaune but he rolled out of the way, and pounced at the grimm wrapping his arms around it's throat and began squeezing with all his strength. The Ursa began thrashing trying to dislodge Jaune from his perch on it's back, getting more desperate as he squeezed harder.

Finally it managed to shake him loose causing him to fly and slam his back into a tree. Jaune felt the back of his head slam into the tree and saw his vision blur. He landed on the ground in a heap and felt like his body weighed a thousand pounds, and his head was throbbing. Thanking the brothers for his aura as it slowly healed the concussion he probably had, he looked up and watched the Ursa start heading towards the baby. He shook his head to clear the cobwebs and noticed an electric dust crystal between himself and the grimm. Jaune roared out as he clawed the ground "Who said I was done with you over grown stuffed animal. Come on you bastard come and get me you ugly son of a bitch!"

The Ursa let out a roar and changed dirsections slowly making it's way to Jaune. He growled and began standing up on shaking legs. The Ursa let out a low growl, but instead of being scared Jaune grinned and drew blanc from his holster and shooting the electric dust crystal. It exploded in a shower of sparks paralyzing the grimm in place, long enough for him to switch the mag in his pistol for a fresh dust mag.

"One express ticket to oblivion, coming right up you son of a bitch" (Somewhere in the forgotten grimm lands Salem sneezed and dropped her glass of wine.) Firing an explosive dust round into the Ursas head causing it to explode in black mist.

Jaune let of a tired sigh and fell back against the tree sliding down till he was sat next to the basket holding the baby. He took off his armor and picked her up in his arms noticing how she immediately snuggled into his chest and stopped crying. He slowly rocked her in his arms and smiled at the way she snuggled further into his chest. Jaune let out a tired breathe and took out his scroll activating the distress beacon to alert the Academy to where he was and that he needed a medical team to evac him.

Jaune let his eyes close and drifted off to sleep while he waited for the bull head to arrive.

Alright guys here's chapter 1 of the rewritten story tell me your thoughts in the reviews please.
