Okay guys, so finally got around to updating this. Sadly, because its been so long since I wrote anything for this, I completley forgot how I was going to write this story, so I'm pretty much starting over from scratch and making shit up as I go along.

Either way, I hope you enjoy.

Jaune had been having trouble dealing with the bloodlust. The last day or two, he had been feeling really hungry. No matter how much food he ate, it didn't help. He felt famished, he still retained his strength. But the feeling of starving wasn't helping. He felt so tempted to take a bite out of so many people. It didn't matter who. He could hear the blood flowing in their veins. And it looked and smelled delicious. So many times he had to stop himself from biting into Pyrrha whenever they kissed. She seemed to understand. He had claimed he had been having some stomach pains, which was true. But she wanted him to see a doctor. And he couldn't go to a doctor. As a side effect of drinking that blood, his heart beat had stopped for now. So it wouldn't do him much good.

His team had advanced further and further until it led to the conundrum they were in now. Penny was revealed to be an android when Pyrrha accidentally killed her. He had to admit, he wasn't expecting that. But then that woman started to speak, and he knew her voice. It was the woman he had heard from his dreams, the woman who had caused the destruction of beacon. The woman who was the reason Pyrrha died in his dreams. He had to stop her. And that was when everything went to hell. Grimm started to surround the stadium, and people were going crazy. And the white fang was ambushing them.

It was time now to show them what he had done.

"Pyrrha…." Jaune said as he prepared to fight.

"Yes?" She was still nervous, especially after everything had just happened.

"It's all going to be alright." He said as some black aura started to surround him.

"Jaune, what are you?" Suddenly Jaune took off.

Everyone saw Jaune take off with the same speed he used in the arena. But this time he was different. He wasn't holding anything back. Whether it was Grimm, Atlesian Robot or a white fang grunt. He was tearing through them like rice paper. Pyrrha couldn't believe it. Jaune was never this fast when they were training. And he certainly wasn't this viscious before! What was going on? Was this his semblance? Was it making him insanely fast and strong? She didn't know.

Needless to say, neither did anyone else.

"AAAHHHH!" A white fang grunt felt his spine break as Jaune threw him into a stone pillar.

This was what Jaune had been preparing for. This was the vision he had seen in his dreams. Being overrun by Grimm, White fang, and robots. But this time he was prepared. This time he was going to stop it. And this time there would be no one to stand in his way.

His friends joined in on the fight. But they couldn't believe just how fast Jaune was going through them. It was like he was a completely different man from the one who left to go visit his family those few months ago. Pyrrha smiled, apparently all that training was paying off. But she had to admit, there was something unsettling about Jaune. Something she couldn't put her finger on.

"Miss Nikos…." Ozpin said as she knew what she had to do. But she was afraid to do it.

Another secret she had been keeping from Jaune. But she didn't discuss it with him because she was afraid to. That and she found it hard to find Jaune during the day. For some reason, when she asked Ruby if she had seen him, she only said that Jaune didn't feel too good being out in the sun. So he had to go to the bathroom to throw up. Which Pyrrha found odd, but maybe he just ate something bad.

She ran with Ozpin to go and do the one thing she was terrified of doing. But maybe she wouldn't have to worry about it. Hopefully everything would be alright. But no matter how much she tried to placate her thoughts, there was still the nagging feeling that she wouldn't survive the aura transfer. And that scared her to death.

Jaune turned back to see that Pyrrha was following Ozpin, he remembered this was from his dream. And he couldn't let it happen.

But just as he ran to stop them. A giant nevermore got in his way. It roared at him as he glared at it, his eyes gaining a red tint.

"You fool….." He glared at it as he felt some fangs eloganting.

"You shouldn't get in my way."

Down in the secret room

Ozpin was beginning the aura transfer, he was not sure how this would go. He was scared of the results. But he knew it had to be done. So he clicked the buttons to start the transfer. He could hear Pyrrha screaming. And he knew he had to go through with it. But he didn't want to admit that he hated the fact it had to come to this. If there was anyway they could safely transfer the aura with no chance of Pyrrha losing herself, he would do it in a heartbeat. But instead he was taking a chance with her life, and he didn't like the odds here.

But it was too late to go back now. So he went through with it.

Only for an arrow to pierce the container that Amber was staying in. The aura that was going to be transferred to Pyrrha finding its way over to the woman all the way at the entrance.

She smirked as the power entered her.

"You really are-" Suddenly she felt herself thrown into the wall hard enough to break the stone walls.

"Mr. Arc?" Ozpin said as he saw Jaune with his fangs and his eyes which almost seemed to have a unholy glow amongst them.

"You fool…" Jaune said as Cinder pried herself out of the wall.

"You boy, you shouldn't get in my way." She said as she looked into his eyes.

"And you shouldn't try to hurt my friends." He said with an almost animalistic growl.

She lookd into his eyes seeing the strange glow and she smirked.

"There's something different about you boy…." She said as she formed a fireball in her hands.

"But it doesn't matter." She said as she threw it at him.

Ozpin didn't even react, he was too dumbfounded at the fact that Jaune somehow had the strength to throw someone with the power of a maiden through a wall. It made no sense, Ozpin knew about his transcripts, and despite his vast improvement in combat, this was someone completley different from the Jaune Arc he saw months ago. Even in the arena, he showcased abilities he hadn't seen before…or…maybe he just hadn't seen in a long time.

The fireball hit Jaune directly as Pyrrha screamed his name, believing he was killed. But imagine everyones surprise when Jaune simply walked forward, his skin completely unphased as any wounds he did have showed signs of healing while his shirt had been destroyed.

"Is that all?" He asked as Cinder glared at him.

"I don't know how you survived that, but it won't happen ag-" Suddenly she felt her face cave in from a punch as Jaune moved forward in a flurry of bats to strike her.

"Do you know how long I've waited for this moment?" He asked as she couldn't believe it.

How did he get that fast?

Meanwhile Ozpin's eyes widened.

"Bats….." He had seen this before.

"I had nightmares of this moment for months…..nightmares I couldn't change." He said as Cinder striked at him.

However, for reasons she couldn't believe, Jaune managed to avoid her and counterstrike.

"I knew these nightmares had to mean something…..so I looked for anything that could help me get stronger…" He said as he punched her in the ribs.

And much to her shock, he felt her ribs crack under the pressure until her new maiden's aura snapped them back into place and healed the damage.

"Do you know what I've sacrificed to stop this?!" Jaune yelled as he backhanded her again. Her aura being depleted slowly.

"Do you know what I did to save her?!" Jaune yelled as his anger was taking over as a red tint appeared in his eyes.

"And now….here I am, and I can end this once and for all." He said as he grabbed her by the throat and lifted her in the air.

Cinder continued to channel Maiden energy into her hands and struck him multiple times in the face, arms, and chest. But Jaune was just looking at her as he continued to choke her.

"Things will be alright, once you're dead…" He said with a cold look in her eyes as Cinder looked deep into his.

She didn't see a young boy, instead she saw a pale monster, with eyes as red as Salems, and a soul as black as night.

SLUNK

"AGGGHHH!" Jaune dropped her as Pyrrha gasped.

"Professor Ozpin!" She couldn't believe what she saw.

Jaune growled as he looked to see who had stabbed him.

And why did it hurt so much?

He pulled the knife out of his back as he realized something.

The blade was silver…..And Ozpin had put it there.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" He yelled as Cinder was gaining her strength back, her previous injuries healed.

"You're not yourself Mr. Arc…" Ozpin knew about this. He had seen it before, many….MANY years ago.

"I was about to end this!" He yelled.

"Mr. Arc, you don't understand what you've done!"

"What I've done?! WHAT I'VE DONE WAS FOR ALL OF YOU! WHAT I DID WAS TO SAVE YOU!" He yelled as the silver was draining him of his power.

"Miss Nikos, take Jaune, he needs his rest…" Ozpin was right.

"But Profes-"

"GO!"

Pyrrha took Jaune. Surprisingly his wound had healed up, however, Jaune knew his strength wouldn't return so quickly. A negative side effect of this power was his weakness to silver. And he had experimented with it before to see what would happen. If there was any trace of silver exposed to him, he would be temporarily weakened, eventually his strength would return. But there was another issue, the reason Jaune was trying to kill Cinder quickly was because his three days were almost up, if he didn't kill her by midnight, things could get bad. And Ozpin had just taken away precious time.

Jaune was growling at Ozpin with his fangs exposed. And Ozpin just stared at Cinder.

As they left the room. Cinder was puzzled, before she started the fight again, she looked towards the headmaster.

"Stabbing your own student to save me? I must say, I was not expecting this."

"You don't understand, I didn't do it to save you…..I did it to save everyone…" He almost seemed to speak with fear.

"Oh? You're scared of a boy?"

"No….not the boy….I'm scared of the monster he could become…" Ozpin remembered the old legends, and one was better left dead.

"Oh, well why don't I show you a true monster then?" Cinder started to levitate off the ground while glames surrounded her.

"You don't even know the meaning of the word…" Ozpin hoped he did the right thing.

Salem scared him, the thought of this psychopath with the power of the fall maiden scared him.

But the return of a Nosferatu?

That…TERRIFIED him.
