"JAUNE!"

In a dark and quiet cave, the blue eyes of an unmoving and dusty body opened as he heard in his head the voice of seven different people call out to him, the only sound after that was of water running. He slowly and difficulty sat up, feeling the tension of his muscles after so long of not moving them… wait… how long hasn't he moved? It couldn't be more than a couple of hours, a day tops. He didn't know. Squinting his eyes to try and see his surroundings, looking around he noticed a slight glitter in the darkness. Slowly standing up and stretching, hearing a crack of his bones with every light movement. Stumbling slightly, he walked towards the glitter, when he reached it he saw a sword lying against a rock and a shield, it was his trusty weapon, Crocea Mors, picking it up he felt power once again cursing through his body, making it easier for him to move as he remembered everything he went through with it. Every battle, every training he did with his teammates and friends…

Remembering the last part his eyes widened with realization as a memory came to mind. He was on a mission that his team, as well as their sister team took. It was supposed to be an easy search and destroy mission… how wrong they were… they didn't expect to be ambushed by a horde of high class Grimm… He remembered how they fought as hard as they could, waiting for reinforcement to come and help them… but they couldn't make it in time, so a single bullhead was sent to pick them up… He remembered how tired they all were and what he had to do… when the bullhead failed to land do to the density of Grimm he did the only thing he could do… Ordering the others to somehow reach the bullhead he ran towards the horde of Grimm, ignoring his friends calling out for him. Hearing their calls, he stopped and looked back at his partner who looked back at him… hours seemed to pass while the two mentally talked, but, reluctantly, his partner nodded and forced the others to retreat. However, one of them ignored those orders and ran to him. Seeing who it was his eyes softened a bit. He remembered how hard she yelled at him that she wasn't going to leave him to die, so, he did the only thing that came to mind. Wrapping her in a hug and kissing her on the lips, surprising her by the sudden act, and told her that no matter what, he'd come back, saying that an Arc never broke a promise. Hearing this, the girl snapped out from her initial shock when she heard him and refuse to make such promise. Seeing that there was no other way he did one last thing. He apologized. Confusing the girl, before punching her in the stomach, making her fall unconscious. Catching her before she fell, he looked up and saw that his partner had crossed the distance between them and was now standing in front of him. Passing him the unconscious girl, he ordered him to take her to the bullhead. Reluctantly his partner obeyed, having known him for almost four years he knew that there was no changing his mind. Seeing as his partner gained some distance he turned around a ran towards the upcoming horde of Grimm.

As he fought the Grimm he could still hear his friends call for him, but he still ignored, he had to keep them save. When he saw that they managed to get in the bullhead he tried to make a way towards them, but before he knew it the ground under him shook and the ground started to cave in, before he could do anything he felt the ground under him crumble away as he, and a some of the Grimm, fell through the floor and the last thing he heard was his friends call out for him one last time along with the roar of Grimm before everything went dark.

He didn't know what happened or how to get out of the cave. The only thing he knew was where to go… Back to Beacon…

Chapter 1: It's been how long?!

Several days later

Jaune like to admit that he was smart, so that's why he knew without any doubt… that he was lost…

"Where the hell is Beacon?!" He asked loudly. It's been days since he managed to escape that cave… after he spent more time than he'd like to admit leaving a freaking hole on the ground… he kept walking, he didn't know exactly where Beacon was, the only thing he knew was that it was north from where he was… he thinks… Anyway, he kept walking looking for Beacon, not finding any sign of civilization that would have a transportation to Beacon as he walked, not that it would help anyway, they wouldn't find him in a bullhead, not even if they paid him over a million Lien. He knew he was close, from what he could tell he was somewhere in the Emerald forest so-

*Boom*

"What the hell was that?" He asked himself as walked towards the direction of the noise. As he walked he, once again, adjusted his worn down, ripped and dirty clothes, spending, however long he spent, in a cave, can pretty much ruin those.

"Ruby!" He heard someone yell, when he looks at that direction he could see, behind a couple of trees, a girl, wearing a red cloak, that was pinned down by a giant black feather…oh, and she was about to be turned into little girl pate by an old looking Deathstalker.

Before anyone could notice Jaune was now between the girl and the Grimm and raised his shield as the Deathstalker's stinger hit it and didn't go pass from that. Raising the shield higher, along with the stinger, he vertically swung his sword, making the Deathstalker jump back to a safer distance, for some reason feeling slightly warry of the new person. Seeing the distance put them in a slightly safer situation, Jaune turned around to look at the girl he just saved.

"Hey, you alri-!" He started asking before his eyes widened, that girl, the short black hair and ret tips, the pale skin and those silver eyes… without a doubt, that was her… "Summer?" He quietly asked.

"Ruby!" He heard another voice of someone who getting closer. Snapping out of shook he looked at the direction of the new person, only for his eyes to widen even more. The hair, even though it was a different colour, it was the same style, and the face, it was exactly like hers.

"Raven?! Since when are you blonde?!" He asked louder this time. However, the girl ignored him and went straight to the other girl.

"Ruby! Are you ok?!" She asked the shorter girl.

"It seems you were quicker than I me." Another voice said from behind Jaune, when he turned around he saw a smaller girl with pale skin, icy blue eyes, along with a scar on her left eye and snow-white hair.

"Wha-?"

"We don't have time to talk around! We have to get out of here!" The same girl ignored whatever he was going to say and turned to the Raven and Summer lookalikes.

"She's right." A girl, that was only slightly shorter than him, with deep red hair and emerald green eyes. "Hello, I'm Pyrrha Nikos, I guess that we're partners now."

"R-Right, I'm Jaune Arc." He introduced himself, not noticing the looks that the blonde and the short haired girl gave him when he introduced him, before processing what the red head said. "Wait? What do you mean with par-"

"The Nevermore's coming back!"

Meanwhile, in the cliffs overlooking Emerald Forest.

"It seems the few remaining students have gathered together." A woman with blonde hair and glasses said.

"Hmm." Was the other persons response. This one was a Silver haired man with green spectacles. Who was more there than here. Remembering when it was him in their place.

Flashback.

"Yo!" The sound of someone's voice got the attention of a younger version of the man. When he looked he saw a blonde-haired teen that was his age smirking at him. "You're the first person I've seen here, so I guess that makes us partners!" He excitedly said, the smile never leaving his face.

While seeing this he could only stare wide eyed, because while talking to him, his new partner was sitting on top of a decomposing Deathstalker, a sword pierced on the top of its head, and cut down Ursa and Beowolf's all around him.

End of Flashback.

"Ozpin?" The woman called, gaining the man's attention. "Who's that?" He heard her ask. Looking at his scroll he saw that someone has stopped the Deathstalker's attack. But what he was most focused was the one detail that he could see of the new person.

"A simple sword and shield…" He muttered loud enough for the woman to hear. "I haven't seen someone fight with something so basic like that since…"

Before the woman could say anything, they heard something that socked them.

"R-Right, I'm Jaune Arc"

After hearing the new person say that both froze, before the shocked expression of the woman was replaced by one of anger.

"He dares to use his name?!" She yelled. "Ozpin! Who is he?!"

"I don't know…" Ozpin said coming out of shock himself. "Probably a wanderer that got lost in the Emerald Forest."

"Either way! I will not allow him to use that name!" She yelled before jumping off the cliff.

Seeing this, Ozpin sighed and texted someone on his scroll.

[Go to the new students position in the Emerald Forest. Glynda has gone Berserk...Again.]

He sent it before jumping of the cliff himself.

Back with Jaune.

"The Nevermore's coming back!" A black-haired guy, with a pink streak warned as he points to the sky. Everyone looked to where he was pointing and saw a giant black bird flying towards their direction.

Blinking, Jaune looked back at the Deathstalker, that was reading itself to attack once again, before looking at the Nevermore again, he repeated this action a couple more times before looking at the group of teens around him.

"Seriously… What the hell have you guys been doing…" Jaune asked sweat dropping.

"Believe me." A girl with black hair, amber, cat like eyes, and a black bow said. "If you value your sanity, you won't want to know."

'A Faunus?' Jaune thought seeing the slight of her bow. "Anyway. I think the best thing to do know is to get out of here." Jaune said, he's been walking for too much time to want to fight a Nevermore and a Deathstalker, besides, he was starving and wanted to eat as soon as he could.

"Awww! But I wanted to crush them!" A small girl with orange hair said.

"Nora. No." The black-haired guy said.

"Okay Ren."

"Less talking and more running then!" The white-haired girl said as she and the others ran, all except the blonde and the short haired girl, the later turning towards the blonde.

"Yang… that name, why does it sound so familiar?" The short haired girl asked the blonde.

"I don't know Ruby… But I'm not leaving this forest without finding out, that's for sure." She said before the two of them ran after the others.

"I'm seriously hating this right now!" Jaune yelled as they ran.

"Who cares?! We finished the Initiation! Now we only have to reached Beacon to be safe!" The white-haired girl yelled back.

"What the hell are you- Wait?! Beacon?!"

"Look out!" Jaune heard the Faunus in disguise, before looking up towards the feathers that were coming towards him. Before anyone could do anything, the feathers hit the ground where Jaune was standing.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha yelled as she saw the features collide with her new partner. When the dust cleared they were all shocked to see that Jaune was still in the same spot, and all the feathers missed.

'They didn't miss…' The female Faunus thought socked. Her Faunus features allowing her to clearly see what had happened. 'Those features have the speed and the strength to pierce through almost anything, but he… he defected every single one with his shield like it was nothing!' She thought once again before some stories that her father used to tell her about his huntsman in training days, before he created the White Fang came to mind.

"Back in my days of training there was this one guy… he was seriously strong… He could block an attack from the strongest Deathstalker, without moving an inch, kick a Boarbatusk like a freaking soccer ball! Out punch a Beringel! Hell! He can even deflect the feathers of a Nevermore!"

"Who was he?" A younger version of the girl asked. At this her father could only fondly and sadly smile.

"He was a great comrade of mine… One of the few people I could proudly declare as my friend… His name was…"

"Jaune Arc…" The Faunus quietly said with shock, as realization dawned upon her.

"That's it!" Jaune yelled. "You guys take care of that mossy bastard! I'll deal with this flying chicken!"

Before anyone could say anything, they saw Jaune suddenly be covered in a white Aura, it was so bright that they had to cover their eyes, it's power was so immense that they even had trouble breading. Glaring at the Nevemore, Jaune, unsheathed his sword and expanded his shield before, to the shock of the others, two bright, aura made wings appeared on his back as he flew towards the Grimm.

Jaune was flying to the Nevermore, shield and sword in hand, dodging all the features that were coming his way, reaching the Grimm, Jaune flew pass it, the giant bird's gaze never leaving him, it kept looking at him before bringing its wings back to attack, before releasing a screech of pain. When Jaune flew past him, he cut off its left wing without it noticing it. Looking back at Jaune he only saw a sword before it went through its skull.

"I really am rusty." Jaune said as the Grimm fell from the sky, Jaune still standing on top of it with his sword on its head. "That attack was supposed to go for its head…" He said before jumping before the Grimm crashed on the ground. Landing with a hint of heavy breathing he made his wings disappear before looking at the others, who were in the process of finishing the Grimm.

"What the hell was that?!" The blonde, Raven looking, girl asked after they manged to slay the Grimm and when she got closer.

'Oh come on! Her eyes are now red! If that doesn't make her look like Raven then I don't know what will!' Jaune thought

"Who are you?" The bow wearing girl asked.

"I told you, I'm Jaune Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrccc! *Crash*" While talking, Jaune suddenly felt an invisible, yet familiar force that sent him flying and crash through the trees, making him drop his weapon.

Looking to the side, everyone looked shock when they saw the culprit of sending Jaune flying, standing there was a very pissed looking blonde woman with glasses. They all recognised this woman as Glynda Goodwitch

"Who are you?!" She angrily asked, her weapon, a riding crop, pointing to where Jaune was sent flying.

"What the hell is it with everyone asking me the same question repeatedly?!" Jaune asked, walking back to the clearing, the only sign of him being sent flying were the now healing scratches and the new tears on his clothes. "For the last freaking time! I'm Jaune Arc!" He yelled marching towards his attacker, when he got closer he recognised the new person. "Wait… Glynda?! WHY DO YOU LOOK OLD?!" He asked before he was sent flying once again. "God dammit!" He yelled as he flew to a new set of trees.

"You can't be Jaune Arc! Jaune Arc is dead! He died almost 20 years ago! You may look like him, but you have no right using his name!" Glynda yelled furiously.

"Dammit Glynda! How many times do I have to tell you to stop throwing me around like a ragdoll?!" Jaune yelled, coming back to the clearing again.

Seeing that the imposter was still standing, Glynda got ready to throw him as far as she could in her blinding fury.

"Glynda wait." A voice said gaining everyone's attention. When they looked they saw Ozpin, who was standing over Jaune's fallen weapon.

"Headmaster Ozpin?" The black, short-haired girl asked, when she saw the man. "What are you doing here? What's going on?"

"That's what I'd like to know?!" Jaune yelled. "Why is Glynda throwing me around the forest?! What does she mean with me being dead?! Why did she call you Headmaster?! Why do you guys look older?! And most importantly! What the hell are you wearing Ozpin?!" Jaune asked marching towards Ozpin. When he got closer he felt something wrap around his neck and pull him back. The sudden force of the pull making him fall on his back.

"Mom!" He heard, the cloak wearing girl, he assumed, yell.

"What is this Ozpin? A student is angry at you before they even start school… again?" A new voice said, and for some reason, it was slightly familiar. Still lying face up on the ground with his hands trying to remove the object around his neck, Jaune looked at the person that talked and was the culprit of this predicament of his. When he saw her his eyes widened, she looked like an older version of the short haired girl, but there was one key element. Her cloak was white. "S-Summer?"

Hearing her name being called, the now named Summer looked at the "student" that she was subduing, and her widened with shock.

"Ahhhhh!" Summer yelled, called back the rope that was wrapped around Jaune's neck, and jumped back before lifting a shaking arm while pointing at him. "A-A-A G-G-GHOST!" She yelled terrified.

"I'm not a ghost!" Jaune yelled standing back up.

"Are you here to haunt me?! Is it because I kept eating all the snacks on your secret stash all those years ago?!" Summer quickly asked.

"I told you I'm Not a-wait! That was you?!" Jaune asked while pointing accusingly at Summer. Making her shriek in fear. Before Jaune could take another step, he was once again sent flying to the forest by Glynda.

"Ozpin! What the hell is going on?!" Summer asked.

"Oh, now you pay attention to me." Ozpin said, but a quick glare from Glynda shut him up. "Look at what's laying by my feet." He said and the two Huntresses looked at Jaune's Weapon by Ozpin's feet. This brought two reactions, one of fear from Summer.

"HE REALLY CAME BACK FOR REVENGE!"

And one of Rage from Glynda.

"THAT BASTARD! NOT ONLY IS HE TAKING HIS NAME HE ALSO TOOK HIS WEAPON!"

Seeing the two-different reaction made Ozpin sweat drop. "Actually… do you two remember the unique thing about Crocea Mors?" He asked, confusing both, but Summer was the first one to realize what Ozpin meant.

Flashback

"Hey Summer." Jaune called a younger Summer, gaining her attention.

"Yeah?"

"Mind passing me Crocea Mors?"

"Sure!" She said before walking towards Jaune's sword, that was currently on top of a table. She picked it up and went back to Jaune… only to realize that the weapon didn't move at all and in fact made her fall on her back. "What the?" She asked as she stood back up. Reaching the sword one more time she tried to lift the sword once again, and failed. Confused, she tried once again, this time with both hands, she pulled and pulled but the sword wouldn't move an inch. "Why. Wont. You. Move!" She yelled trying to pull the weapon up and failing.

Back with Jaune, he was watching this while trying not to laugh. Ozpin, who looked younger, was standing by his side, watching Summer try to lift the sword.

"When are you going to tell her that only an Arc can lift Crocea Mors?" Ozpin asked.

"Eventually… Like in 10, maybe 15 minutes." Jaune said, still holding his laughter. Neither him nor Ozpin noticed Glynda and Summer's partner standing behind them, ready to punish them for making fun of Summer.

End of Flashback

"Only and Arc can lift Crocea Mors…" Summer said as realization dawned upon her.

"Exactly." Ozpin said.

"So, someone from his family is pretending to be him?" Glynda asked and Summer facepalmed at this.

"Seriously Glynda?" Summer asked.

"What?"

"Glynda, don't you remember?" Ozpin said gaining her attention. "Jaune was the last Arc." He said and realization dawned on Glynda.

"I just threw the real Jaune through the forest!" She yelled, her hands nearly ripping the hair on the sides of her head.

"Well duh."

"Shut up! You thought he was a ghost!"

"Well sorry for having a fertile imagination for my age!"

"Alright! What the hell is going on here!" The blonde girl said, gaining the three Hunters attention. They forgot that while all of this was happening the new students were present.

"Well, Yang… How should I put this…?" Summer said.

"It's a long story and it will be explained momentarily." Ozpin said, before his senses picked up and he moved to the side to avoid a flying tree. When they looked they saw an angry looking Jaune walking out of the forest. "He's pissed, isn't he?"

"Yup." Summer said.

"We're screwed, aren't we?" Ozpin asked.

"Once again, Yup."

"Will someone explain what the hell is happening?!" Jaune yelled before pointing at Glynda. "And Glynda! I told you to stop doing that! This the 176th time that you threw me with you Semblance!"

"Y-You kept count…" Glynda said while looking away and sheepishly scratching her cheek. Summer only looked at her with half opened eyes.

"And Summer!" He said and said woman jolted. "I also told you to stop tying me up with your whip!"

"I'm sorry!"

"Now, I'll forget what just happened, IF, someone actually explains to me what the hell is happening!" Jaune said.

"We'll try, if you join us and come to my office-"

"Your office?"

"Yes, my office. We can try and get out heads straight."

"Good. In the meantime." Jaune said before turning to Summer. The happiness she was feeling of one of her closest friends appearing after so many years of being "dead" disappeared the moment she saw her eyes and was now replaced with fear once again. Before she could run away Jaune grabbed her by her cloak and pulled her to him and started rubbing both knuckles on both sides of her head. Even though it's been years, Summer was still shorter than him. "What have I told you about stealing my snacks?!"

"WAH! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Hey!" Jaune heard someone call. When he looked he was met with a yellow gauntlet on the face that made him stumble balk while holding his nose.

"What the hell?!" Jaune asked, still holding his nose.

"Mom! You ok?" The red cloak wearing girl asked Summer.

"Wait, MOM?!" Asked a shocked Jaune.

"Oh right. Jaune, this is my daughter. Ruby Rose." Summer said. Before anyone knew it in a blink of an eyes Jaune was now standing in front of both Summer and Ruby, a hand on his chin as he looked between the two.

"Wow, no wonder I thought she was you." Jaune said. "But now that I see both of you at the same time I can see the difference… Your daughter is way cuter than you ever were."

"Isn't she? … Wait…HEY!"

"Umm… Excuse me…" Ruby said gaining their attention. "But can someone explain what's going on?"

"Later." Ozpin said gaining everyone's attention. "You all should head back to Beacon and get ready for the Team introductions. In the meantime, we'll have a talk with Mister Arc-"

"Dude, seriously? Mister Arc?" Jaune asked.

"-and we'll explain everything to you later." Ozpin said, ignoring Jaune's comment. Hearing this, the students, even if some of them were reluctant, obeyed and started to leave. The only reason both Ruby and the blonde left was because Summer told them too. "Now, shall we?"

Ozpin's office.

"Wow, nice place you have here." Jaune said looking around. "But you still haven't told me what's your thing with clocks…"

"Now that we're somewhere more private." Ozpin said, ignoring Jaune's usual question. You dismantle 37 clocks in your dorm room once and it follows you for life. "You can tell us what you've been doing for the past years, and how you haven't aged in a single day."

"How should I know." Jaune said. "A couple of days ago I woke up in a cave."

"You're kidding, right?" Summer asked. "You couldn't have spent almost two decades sleeping in a cave! Where's the tragic and heroic stories of the past few years?! Where's the Jaune level adventures you took?!"

"Nowhere." Jaune simply said.

"Do you have any idea what could have caused this?" Ozpin asked.

"Nope." Jaune said. "But I don't care about that right now." He said, and Ozpin immediately realized that something was up. "After hearing that Summer now has a daughter I got curious on what you guys have been doing the past few years." He said before turning to Summer, a Cheshire cat smile now present on his face. "Am I right to assume that he is the father?"

"There he goes again." Glynda said facepalming. "You know, that behaviour of yours is what influenced Ozpin in making as many "ships" as he calls it, between students."

"It's not that bad." Ozpin said.

"Because of you over 70% of partners end up in a relationship!"

"*Sigh* I know… It should be over 85% by now. I'm as disappointed in myself as you are."

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

"If you mean Taiyang, then you're correct, we've been together for almost 16 years now." Summer said, ignoring Glynda and Ozpin's conversation.

"If both of you had accepted my help it would be 20 by now!" Jaune said.

"After we found out how you brought Ghira and Kali together she thought it was best if you didn't intervene." Glynda said.

"HEY! It worked didn't it!... didn't it?"

"Boy, was Raven mad…" Summer started saying before covering her mouth.

"Raven huh…" Jaune said. "That reminds me, that girl, the blonde one, she looks a hell of a lot like Raven, I actually thought it was her." When he said that he noticed the looks the other three shared. "What?"

"Well… how should I put this… her name is Yang Xiao Long." Summer said.

"Xiao Long?" Jaune asked. "Isn't that Taiyang's last name?"

"She's his daughter." Glynda said. Hearing this Jaune's eyes widened and he turned to Summer.

"Wow, you have two kids already? But man, sorry to say this but she doesn't look like you."

'Dammit Jaune. You're one of the smartest people in this room, still, you're playing dumb even after realizing the truth.' Ozpin thought as he looked at Jaune. "She's Raven's daughter, not Summers." Ozpin said, making the two huntresses look at him in a mixture of surprise and shock at his bluntness.

After hearing that Jaune was completely quiet, at that moment the room would have been silent, if not for the two huntresses that were scolding Ozpin for dropping a bomb like that. After some time Jaune spoke once again. "I kind of figured…" He said gaining his attention. "When I saw that the Summer like girl- Ruby was it?- was Summer's daughter I realized that the only explanation for her to look like Raven was for her to be her daughter, and since they said that they were doing the Initiation I could only guess that she was a little over 17. And that Glynda said that I was "dead" for almost 20 years… How long exactly was it?"

"…Over a month ago was the 19th anniversary." Glynda answered.

"With that I concluded that she had to be Raven's and someone else's daughter. I wouldn't blame her for moving on after so long… But to be honest, the Taiyang part shocked me. I knew that he had a thing for Summer since our first year, so I can't quite understand how it was possible."

"It was… It happened on the one-year anniversary of you supposed death…" Summer said. "During that time… we couldn't believe that it had been one year since you sacrificed yourself for us… and that day, all of us did something stupid… We took a page from Qrow's book…"

"…Are you guys stupid?"

"We knew it wasn't a good idea, but most of us were still mourning… You should have seen it, Raven, one of the most lightweights in our group, managed to out-drink Qrow that night… And… in her drunken state… she kinda confused Tai… with you." Summer said and Jaune realized what she meant.

"I see… Wait, how did Raven, of all people manage to confuse Tai with me?"

"As Summer said, she was quite drunk, it was a miracle she didn't mistake some random guy with you." Glynda said.

"It was a miracle she didn't confuse a lamppost with you." Ozpin muttered before Glynda hit him in the back of the head.

"But that night was only a one-night thing between them. They did try to work things out to raise their daughter, but… she told me that no matter how much she loved Yang, every time she looked at her, she felt remorse for betraying you like that." Summer said. "After a while, she couldn't take it anymore, so she kept doing mission after mission. Barely staying home."

"Anyway, I know you have a lot of questions, but I think it's best you wait for the others to arrive. I already sent them a message to gather here tomorrow." Ozpin said before anyone could say anything. "I did in fact hid the reason for it."

"When did you do that?" Glynda asked.

"While you sent Jaune flying the third time." Ozpin said. "But there is a matter that we need to discuss." He said in a serious voice gaining the complete attention of the others. "Since the incident happened before you graduated from your fourth year on Beacon, you are not technically a Huntsman, so we need to talk about your re-enrolment in Beacon."

"Re-enrolment? What the hell are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you joining one of the new first year teams."

"First year?! Last time I checked I was already 20 and was finishing my fourth year!"

"You've been gone for almost two decades, a lot of things changed. This will help you fit back in." Ozpin said. While in the outside he was as stoic as ever, in the inside he was basically doing backflips from the sheer happiness he was feeling at the moment.

"Then put me back in the fourth-Son of a bitch! You're doing this because there aren't sufficient first years to form teams! I'm right aren't I?!"

*Silence*

"I knew it!" Jaune yelled. "You might be smart but you always fuck up when numbers are involved!"

"I'll admit, I did not expect for there to be that many students failing the Initiation…" Ozpin said.

"Well… Him having to be a student again might not be the worst idea." Glynda said in a professional tone, however, Jaune didn't miss the smirk that she was trying to hide.

"Of course it is!"

"What's better than four years of training to be a huntsman? Eight years that's what! Besides, after all these years you're probably rusty." Summer said, failing to hide smirk on her face.

"Please! I could be the crap out of al-motherfuckers… I just realized what you're trying to do…"

"Being able to have authority over your previous team leader is great of course, but that's just but a small part of it." Ozpin said. "No matter how much better of a reason it is in my eyes."

"Screw you!"

"We're running out of time." Glynda told Ozpin.

"Oh right, the Team introductions." Ozpin said standing up. "Come along Jaune, your new team awaits you." Ozpin said, smirking at Jaune's slight pissed expression.

Beacon Auditorium.

Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the White Knight Pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as… Team RWBY. Led by… Ruby Rose."

"She did it!" Summer said excitedly while on backstage. She was so excited that she was even shaking Jaune.

"Can't… breath…" Jaune said. With her excitement Summer didn't notice that instead of grabbing Jaune's arm as she planned, was instead grabbing him by the neck, despise the differences in height.

"And finally." Ozpin said after Team RWBY left the stage, "Jaune Arc… Lie Ren…Pyrrha Nikos… Nora Valkyrie." Ozpin called. "The four of you retrieved the White Rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as… Team JNPR. Led by… Jaune Arc." He said, shocking the blonde. When he was appointed leader he immediately heard the students talking about him. Some of them were normal things, but the most common was people saying that he looked like a bum.

"In hindsight, we should have given you new clothes and time to take a shower…" Ozpin said after also hearing the comments.

"You think?"

End of Chapter 1
