Arc Of Embodiment (Hiatus) - Chapter 42

-Remnant Prime-

9 am. In the Bullhead port.

JNPR, RWBY and CFVY were ȧssembled in the Bullhead port. They were all waiting for Jaune’s arrival. JNPR and RWBY were patient but Coco was not. Coco was curious about the person that’ll be training them.

After few minutes of waiting, a Quinjet landed on one of the landing pads. Ruby (P) who saw this was excited to see something unique. Weiss on the other hand was curious who could be inside such fascinating bullhead.

Not long after landing, the door in the back of the Quinjet open to reveal another Jaune Arc. Coco and her team were staring at Jaune thinking that it was the twin or family member of Jaune (P). Since Jaune was just the same age as them, Coco thought surely this wasn’t the person that was going to train them, which is a universal thought throughout her team.

“Come in and take a seat,” Jaune informed everyone.

Everyone just did as Jaune said. When Jaune realised that there was not enough seat for everyone, he instructed Veronica to change the inside of the Quinjet to be able to accommodate everyone present.

“Uhm…Are you the person that Ozpin told us would be training us?” Velvet asked.

“That’s right. The name’s Jaune Arc by the way,” Jaune said.

Coco and her team were confused besides Fox since he could not see Jaune’s face, but he was having his own dilemma. Coco, Velvet and Yatsuhashi were thinking, ‘Wasn’t Jaune beside them? Then why is the person in front of them saying his name was Jaune.’

“Hah?” CVY said.

JNPR and RWBY were laughing at their confused expression. Ruby (P) then explained to everyone what was going on. Coco and the others were shocked to realise that parallel worlds exist. Meanwhile, Fox was looking at Jaune like he was a monster, he can sense an immense amount of Aura within Jaune, it was like looking at the sun.

“What the hell are you…The amount of Aura you have is frightening, it’s like staring at the sun or something,” Fox said.

“Ha-ha-ha! Don’t worry, after I’m done training you guys, you will all have massive Aura reserves, but it probably won’t come close to my level though,” Jaune stated.

“Anyway. Everyone, take a seat, I’m going to bring us to Mt Glenn. Oh…and Jaune (P). Please don’t puke on my Quinjet or else I’m going to drop you outside while we’re flying,” Jaune added.

After taking a seat, Jaune immediately took off in the direction of Mt Glenn. While looking outside, Ruby (P) noticed that someone was sitting in the co-pilot seat, she got curious and asked Jaune who it was.

“Uhm…Jaune? Who’s that?” Ruby (P) said while pointing in Koneko’s direction.

“Her name’s Koneko, she will be with us the entire time,” Jaune said.

“Oh. Is she a Huntress-in-training us well or a full-fledged Huntress?” Ruby (P) asked.

“Neither, but you shouldn’t look down on her since she can kick all your ȧsses combined without breaking a sweat,” Jaune stated.

“Is she a Faunus?” Blake asked. She saw the eyes of Koneko, it was slightly slitted resembling a cat. Ever since Koneko accepted her heritage as a Nekoshou, her eyes have changed to more cat-like eyes.

“Nope. She’s not a Faunus, but she isn’t Human either,” Jaune said.

“What?!” Everyone shouted. They don’t know any other race besides Human and Faunus, and for Jaune to say that Koneko was neither shocked them.

“What is she then?” Blake asked.

“If you want to know more about her, why don’t you ask her yourself? It will be a while before we arrive in Mt Glenn anyway, why not get to know each other?” Jaune said.

They took Jaune’s advice and got to know Koneko. They found out that she was quite shy and she didn’t like getting her cheeks pinch which Yang found out after she tried to pinch Koneko’s cheeks and got her hand swatted hard, if it wasn’t for her Aura, her hand would have been torn off. Though, Yang just shrugged it off.

When they arrived, Jaune told them to look for a camping area that they believe is relatively safe, he was going to help them, they need to judge the situation themselves since it was important for their future missions.

When they finished, Jaune told them how the training would work. Jaune would attract as many Grimm as he can and they will have to eliminate it as quickly as possible, but if they don’t eliminate the Grimm on time, their training regime will be increased by three folds.

It was then that JNPR and RWBY figured out why Jaune considered this training trip like a piece of bad news earlier on. Their current training regime was bad enough, now they risk increasing it by three folds.

CFVY didn’t understand why JNPR and RWBY were so shaken about their training regime increasing by three folds, they were huntsman-in-training for Oum’s sake. This was going to bite them in the ȧss later when they find out how hard JNPR and RWBY’s training is.

When the first wave of Grimm that Jaune attracted arrived, JNPR and RWBY were already ready to tackle it, on the other hand, CFVY had a slower response, but with JNPR and RWBY they were covered until they were ready.

CFVY were shocked at the teamwork of JNPR and RWBY, what was even more shocking was the two team’s ability to adapt to CFVY. Therefore, the first wave was relatively easy to deal with, but Jaune told them that it was just going to get harder and harder.

On the second, third and fourth waves. JNPR, RWBY and CFVY didn’t have much issue but they were getting tired of the constant horde of Grimm, therefore on the fifth wave, they failed to eliminate it making RWBY and JNPR weep in agony for their future.

After the fifth wave, Jaune opened a portal to allow Ddraig out. Jaune then instructed him what the plan was and Ddraig was ready to follow his instruction. Jaune went a mile away from the campsite that JNPR and the others set up.

After that Jaune signalled Ddraig to initiate the plan. Ddraig flew into the air and Roared with all his might scaring the three teams and all the nearby Grimm. JNPR, RWBY and CFVY got into action right away, but they could not see anything until they looked into the air and see a Red Dragon heading in their direction.

The moment the dragon attacked, everyone reacted correctly by retreating nearby since they don’t know how strong the enemy was. When Jaune (P) saw this, he decided to take command of his team right away. Up above the group of people fighting Ddraig, Jaune was satisfied that Jaune didn’t take a long time to take command of the group, it was like instinct for him to take command the moment he realises that they were in danger.

Ruby (P) was similar to Jaune (P), she immediately took command and led her team away from the dragon as soon as possible. Ruby (P) gave Jaune (P) and Coco a signal to reconvene to make a plan of action. They decided to make some distance between them and the Dragon.

Coco and her team followed JNPR and CFVY, she was amazed at how quickly both RWBY and JNPR react to the situation, she decided to up her game because if she didn’t, she could just be turned into Dragon chow. After letting the fight go on for a while, Jaune saw enough.

“Ddraig, that’s enough!” Jaune shouted.

RWBY, JNPR and CFVY just looked at Jaune. If looks can kill, Jaune would be dead. They could not believe that the Dragon was with Jaune. they all thought the same thing, ‘Since when did Dragons exist on Remnant?’. As far as they knew there wasn’t any dragon on Remnant, not even a dragon Grimm just a wyvern.
