"And so there I was, surrounded on all sides by five men gunmen with nowhere to run. They told me hands up right where we can see them." said the grandfather in an exaggerated manner, mocking raising his hands into the air.

Enamored with the story the little blonde boy asked "Then what happened, next Grandpa?"

With a charming smile and a gleam in the eye, the grandfather continued on with his story "Well, I drew out my revolver quicker than any of those slowpokes could react and shot all dead before the sheriff could arrive."

"That's so cool!" the boy exclaimed, "can you tell me another story!?"

The old man stood and gave a solemn smile to the boy before replying "No can do kiddo. It's about time for me to leave anyhow… unless you can convince your parents-."

Before he could finish what he was saying, the 10-year-old boy rushed off to find his parents.

A few seconds later the boy ran up to his parents. With a confident smile on his face and look determination the boy asked " Mom, Dad, can I got to grandpa's house for the weekend?"

The parents just looked at each other before coming to a conclusion. The father stepped forward as replied, "Sure son, Grandpa's house is only a 10-minute walk from home."

"Thank you, mom and dad, you're the best!" the boy said before taking off.

"Grandpa Billy, guess what, Mom and Dad said I can stay with you!"

Smirking, the old man bent over and started to ruffle his grandson's hair "Well then back up your bags then we will get going."

30 Minutes later…

"So Jaune, you never did tell me why you wanted to come with me?"

"Well, Grandpa I was wondering about something."

"Oh, ask away kid."

"Besides telling me cool stories of your past, can you teach me to be like you?" he blurted out quickly.

The Old man freezes, slowly turning his head to look at his grandson, "Ehh can you repeat what you said, I swear my hearing must be going."

"Hhhmmm, ever since I was young you inspired me to be a hero and so I was wondering if you can teach how to be like you." his eyes sparkling with hero adoration.

A silence overtook the small country household as the Old Man thought to himself on what to do in this situation, unconsciously reaching for a drink that didn't exist to nurse a coming headache.

He wanted Jaune to take another path in life, a path that does not involve himself getting into trouble or fighting life and death battles every day. He had experienced being on the run from the law, on countless chases through the most arid of deserts, facing countless enemies and fighting grim for almost the entirety of his life.

"Look Jaune, being a hero, outlaw or whatever you envisioned yourself to be is not a life I would recommend, folks that follow that path don't tend to live past 30. It's only because I'm me that I lasted as long as I did, and even that was stretching my luck"

The boy's eyes begin to water as he pleads further, "But Mom and Dad where ex-hunters and my older sisters are being trained to huntresses, so why can't I? Plus, if you could do it without anyone to help you, I'm sure with your help I'll be even better!"

"So what, that does not mean I have to train you. Give me a good reason why I should train you then I might consider it."

Jaune took a deep breath before replying " I want to make our family proud, I want to be able to seen as not lil' baby Jaune but as just Jaune, but most importantly I want to make you proud."

Reminiscing about his own Childhood he could see many stark similarities between Jaune and him when he was the same age, the same potential for combat, the same spark of curiosity for adventure, but most importantly the same determination to become something greater.

"Hhhhrrrr, is there any way I can convince you to not go through with this?"

Jaune shook his head in confirmation that he would not back off from this path.

Rubbing the point between his eyes, the Old Man looked down to his grandson with steel in his gaze, "Well, I thought so… but why do you want me to train you instead of your parents? I am sure your mother and father have the time to train you? "

Jaune frowned before answering "They're not going to train me because they still think I'm still just a kid. Besides, they're always busy tending the estate or training my sisters."

"Do you resent them for that? For not training you when you when you have the desire and will to try?"

The boy doesn't even pause before shaking his head vehemently, "I don't grandpa. I can understand them a bit. They want to protect me from the dark things of the world, but it's too late for that. I can see on their faces, they worry about the future, the safety of our family and lost of other things. The newspaper always has stories on how a village was wiped out by the Grim, some extremist action of the White Fang and lots of stuff 'bout how the world is getting darker." the boy dips his head down before finishing, "People are losing hope, becoming scared, angry."

"I see then...your training will start tonight then"

"Really grandpa! Thank you, thank you so much"

Jaune then ran up to him and hugged in pure happiness. Returning the hug, Billy smiled before saying "Don't thank me yet kiddo, 'cause I'm not going to be easy on you, but I will give you the tools necessary to surpass me and then some. Before we begin, there is only one rule for this training. DO NOT under any circumstances tell your family that I am training you or your mother will beat the poor stuffing out of this old man."

"I won't grandpa, I promise"

"Alright then, let's get started."

Author's Notes:

Well this is is a new project I started up when I hit a sorta roadblock for my main project, but a chapter of A Grand Adventure should be up within a week or two. Anyway, I got an idea for this fic from the fact that I haven't seen a Billy the Kid story and the fact he seems to be a fun 3 star to use in JP. Hopefully, I can acquire him in NA NP5 without using all my friend point as I still want to roll for Angra Mainyu.

Not an update but I forgot to mention that my beta was rc48177 and is responble for adding in extra details and corrections that make the story all the better
