Chapter 10

At the Beacon Cliff, Glynda and Ozpin are monitoring the students.

"Well, appear to be that Mr. Arc is full of surprise," Ozpin said as he watching Jaune and Nora riding Ursa across the forest.

"Sir, can you explain how his sword talk?" Glynda asked.

"Well, the sword was created with magic property to protect the maiden. They were others as well, all of they are destroyed or so I thought, until today." He responds. "I also heard a different story about a hero with a legendary sword I never bother to see if they have any connection."

"Do you think they know that the maiden is here?" She asks.

"The sword can sense the maiden nearby, so it's possible that Mr. Arc already knew." He responds.

Meanwhile, at the Emerald forest, Jaune and Nora are riding Ursa across the forest until they reach the end of the forest where the both Ursa collapse.

"Aw, it's broken," Nora said in a disappointed tone. They both get off the Ursa and see Yang, Pyrrha, a back hair guy with a magenta streak on his left side and a black-haired girl with a ribbon at the temple. "Hey Ren!" she yelled at the only guy at the temple as she rushes toward him leaving Jaune behind.

Then he notices Ruby falling from the sky. He immediately sprints toward her and activates Air manipulation then release a gust of wind to catch her. She falling slowly to the ground then he helps her up.

"Thanks, Jaune." She said as she gets up.

"You're welcome, but why are you falling from the sky?" He asks.

"Oh, we were riding a Nevermore." Her response.

"Cool, wait what do you mean we?" He asks.

"Me and Weiss," she responds then she realizes that Weiss is still up there. "Oh my God Weiss is still up there!"

"RUBY, WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!?" She yelled at her while still on the Nevermore.

"I TOLD YOU TO JUMP!" She yelled back at her. Weiss let got of the Nevermore.

"She's gonna fall," Ren said with a blank look on his face.

"She'll be fine," Ruby reassures him.

"She's falling," Nora said.

"She's not slowing down," Yang said.

"Why she's not using her semblance to catch herself?" Jaune asks himself as he was about to release another gust of wind to catch her until Nora grab him.

"CATCH HER FEARLESS LEADER!"Nora yelled as she tosses him to Weiss. He quickly catches her in mid-air then land while carrying Weiss like a princess. "NICE CATCH!" she said with her thumbs up.

"Nora, why did you throw me? I could have saved her as I did with Ruby." Jaune said as he walks toward the group while still carrying Weiss.

"PAYBACK!" She yelled back.

"Ok, fair enough."He said as he still holding Weiss.

"Umm sir, I mean Jaune, could you put me down?" Weiss is blushing.

"Oh sorry," He put her down. Then they all notice that the nevermore is circling back at them.

"Well, now the gang all here we can all die together," Yang said.

Jaune launches a gust of wind at the nevermore. "I give us some time. Grab to artifacts and run." They grab the artifacts and then run to the summit instead of fighting the Grimm. However, the Grimm quickly catch up with them. "Looks like we can't outrun it." Then another Grimm shows up. It's was a chimera.

"What do we do now?" Nora asks.

Jaune thinks for a sec. "Nora, Ren, Pyrrha, and I will take care of the Chimera while you guys take care of the Nevermore."

"Roger that fearless leader!" Nora yelled as Ren and Pyrrha nodded.

Weiss looks at them worry. "Wait, that S-class Grimm. I-" "Don't worry about it." Ruby cut her off. "This isn't his first time he fought that." Weiss was about to ask her something but Ruby cut her off. "You can ask him later, we have a Grimm to kill." She said as she got her weapon ready while Blake and Yang follow. Weiss sigh and follows her.

Meanwhile, at the cliff edge overviewing Emerald forest, Glynda and Ozpin are watching the students. Glynda was a worry when she saw the Chimera. Ozpin ensures her that they will be fine but she still worries.

"But sir, that's a high-class Grimm. This is a way to advance for them." Glynda plead.

"They will be fine, Glynda. Plus, I like to see what Mr. Arc will do." Ozpin said.

"I hope you know what you're doing coz if anything happens to Lelie's son, I don't know what she'll do to you." She warned him. He remembers the threatening letter from her that send chilled down his spine.

Back to Jaune's group, consist of Pyrrha, Nora, Ren, and himself are fighting the Chimera but the Grimm is tougher than he fought the previous one. He is trying a way to think about how they could kill this Grimm. He looks at his group and asks. "Guys, what's your semblance?"

"Polarity"

"I can mask negative emotion."

"I get stronger by absorbing electricity through my body."

Jaune thing for a sec then he asks Caliburn telepathically. 'Do you have any electric type semblance?'

'Yes, but it will take time to charge it up since it a clear sky.' Caliburn telepathically responds. 'Plus, it will take a lot of your aura.'

"Ren, Pyrrha, hold that Grimm off. Nora, stand back and get ready." Jaune orders them. They do what he said. Ren and Pyrrha are keeping the Grimm at bay while Nora stands back waiting for Jaune order as he raises his sword pointing at the sky. The sky is starting to get dark slowly and then a lightning strike his sword which shocks them even the Grimm a bit. Pyrrha shook it off and look back at the Grimm preparing any advance the Grimm will make, while Ren and Nora knew what his plan is as Nora is grinning in excitement. "Pyrrha, Ren, fall back. Nora, get ready." They do what he said as Nora is shaking in excitement. When Pyrrha and Ren are in the safe distance, Jaune fire a string of lightning at Nora.

"AHHHH!" Nora yelled then charge at the Grimm. She jumps to the air as raise her Magnhild then slams it at the Grimm creating a huge explosion of lighting blinding them. As soon as they can see again, they saw Nora in the middle of a huge crater and no Grimm on sight. "That was AWESOME!" She yelled as she raises both her hands in the air.

Pyrrha and Ren were looking at the crater in awe until they heard a loud thump. They turn around and saw Jaune is laying facing ground. Pyrrha rush toward his while Ren helping Nora gets out of the crater.

"Jaune, are you ok?" She asks as she rolls him over.

"Yeah, that attack just takes a lot of me." He responds.

A few moments later, after initiation, Ozpin assigns their team. Ruby ends up teaming up with Weiss, Blake, and her sister Yang forming team RWBY and she's the leader. Meanwhile, Jaune is team up with Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora forming team JNPR which he is the leader. After that, they went to their respective room except for Jaune. He told his team that he had to talk to the headmaster and he will explain it later.

He catches up with Headmaster and his deputy in the hallway. "Prof. Ozpin,"

Ozpin turns and saw Jaune walking toward them. "Yes, what can I help you, Mr. Arc?"

"We want to talk to you remember?" He reminds him.

"Ah yes, do you mind if we talk in my office?"

"Sure, lead the way," Jaune responds.

"Oh, and Glynda, you can the night off. You need a good night rest for tomorrow and don't worry about the paperwork, I'll handle it." Ozpin said to her. Glynda is shocked. The headmaster never does his paperwork and always passes it to her. She was suspicious about this but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and she finally gets a good night sleep, so she complies and then leaves.

A few minutes later they're at the headmaster office. Ozpin sits at his desk while Jaune set a tripod for Caliburn before his sit down.

"So, what would like to talk about Mr. Arc?" Ozpin asks.

"Well first allowed me to introduce myself. I'm Caliburn, the sword of legend and now serve Master Jaune Arc as his sword." Caliburn introduce himself. "Second, I sense the maiden is here but only a half of it. What's going on Ozma?"

"Before I answer your question, how much did he know?" Ozpin asks.

"He knows about the maiden and Salem." Caliburn respond.

Ozpin worried a bit then remember that they only knew Salem as an evil entity not his history with her and her immortality. He took a deep sigh. "The Fall maiden was attacked. My colleague manages to save her but she's severely injured and she only had half of her power."

"So the Queen made her move," Jaune said. Ozpin nodded. "Sir, where's the maiden exactly?"

Ozpin raises an eyebrow. "And why do you ask, Mr. Arc?"

"I might able to heal her." He responds. Ozpin was shocked, but before he could ask him how Caliburn cut him off.

"NO! If she's severely injured healing her might kill you." Caliburn said.

"I was talking about my Aura Manipulation semblance, not link semblance," Jaune argue.

"Oh, I guess that ok." Caliburn said.

"*Amen* would you mind filling me in," Ozpin said. So they explain to him about his semblances. "I see, but we should continue this tomorrow. It getting late and you must be exhausted after the initiation and you have classes tomorrow."

"Ok, thank you, sir," Jaune said then walk out of the office.

After he left, Ozpin takes a looks at the mountain of paperwork and immediately regret it. "I need a strong coffee for this."

A few minutes later, Jaune made it to his room. He slowly opened the door and saw his teams are fast asleep. He yawns as he walks up to his bed. He places a tripod next to his bed and put Caliburn there before he lay down. 'Goodnight Caliburn.' He telepathically said to Caliburn.

'Goodnight Sir Jaune.'
