Some things in the world will never change. The sky is blue, the grass is green, and dogs can turn into fireballs. But there is one thing above all that will never, under any circumstance, change, Jaune hates flying. Can you honestly blame him though? The last time he was in an aircraft he had died.

Well, that isn't entirely true. You see Jaune is what most people would call an extremely odd person. That's not to say that he is a person that would stand out in a crowd. If you saw him on the street, you might notice his eyepatch, but after that easily move on with your life. No, what makes Jaune odd is not who, but what he is. Jaune is a person with what many would call a weak grasp on society, a head of hair that can decide if it wants to be blonde or black, but there is one thing that Jaune is not. Jaune is not human. Not entirely, at least.

Jaune is the result of some of Remnant's greatest minds put together to create a super soldier. Unfortunately, there were complications. Unbeknownst to the rest of the team, one of the lead scientists had decided to use a rare Grimm as part of the genetic makeup. This lead to the creation that is, Jaune Arc.

When it became clear what had occurred during the creation process, many people had become angry and distrustful. Inevitably Grimm had become attracted to the laboratory. Jaune was the only survivor of the attack that followed. But that's not entirely true, is it?

You see the real Jaune Arc died about seven years ago, on a flight from Vale to Atlas. It was a simple flight that shouldn't have had any problems. But there was a sudden lancer attack, an attack that the ship had no chance of surviving. The few weapons on board were useless. Running wasn't an option either, the Lancers were easily faster. Nobody survived the attack.

The "Jaune" that lives in his place now is but a remnant of a child, who had died far too young.

But that doesn't matter right now though. What matters right now, is that Jaune is currently hurling his stomach out, wishing he was dead. Why, well that's because there is one thing that will never change about the world.

Jaune hates flying.

And he just took a flight from Vale to Beacon. And, while not the longest flight in the world, it's long enough for him to Question his life choices.

As he finally got his head out of the trash, there was an explosion. So naturally, Jaune did what any huntsman would have done in his position. He walked straight towards the explosion.

...Nobody ever said Huntsman were the sanest of people.

When he got there, he found was a young lady, laying on the ground. Jaune, being Jaune, couldn't bring himself to leave her there, so he reached down to her.

"Hey, need a hand?" With a smiled she reached up,

"Thanks," she tilted her head then asked, "aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship?"

Jaune chuckled, "wow, we haven't even introduced ourselves, and already you wound me."

The girl's eyes widened, "Oh gosh, I didn't- I mean I-." she dropped her head with a groan.

Jaune quietly chuckled, "Relax I'm just messing with you. My name's Jaune, Jaune Arc."

"Ruby Rose. I, um," her eyes flickered over to the left side of his face before looking down, "thank you for helping me up."

Jaune frowned slightly before smirking, "It's the eyepatch isn't it?"

Immediately Ruby blushed, "what, noo, I didn't even see, I mean um," and again Ruby couldn't help but let out a groan, "I'm sorry, its just I've never met someone who's had one."

He chuckled, "It's fine, I don't mind." There was a beat of awkwardness in the air as Ruby squirmed in place before lighting up with a smile.

"So, I have This." with the sound of machinery as the only warning, a scythe far too big for the girl wielding it had appeared.

Jaune couldn't help but jump back a bit, startled, "That's a scythe."

The small Reaper giggled "Its also a customizable, high impact velocity sniper rifle."

Jaune sighed, "Its also a gun, Got it." with a shake of his head he pulled out the sword at his hip. "My weapon is just a bit more simple than that. Crocea Mors, the Family heirloom of the Arc clan." seeing the girl's wide eyes he explained further, "The Sword itself doesn't do much, But the sheath can expand into a shield."

Once again the Reaper let out a giggle, "Well I like it, not many people have an appreciation for the classics." she looked around quickly, "Do you know where we're supposed to go?"

The Swordsman glanced around,"Nope, do you?"

"Nope."

The Swordsman let out a groan, "Are we lost?"

The Reaper groaned, "Yup."

Jaune grinned, "Aha, I can just use my semblance!"

Ruby tilted her head, "What do you mean?"

With a smirk, Jaune explained, "My Semblance allows me to see a person's aura. I can use it to see where all the students are."

Ruby gasped, "If you can find where everyone is at then you can tell where we need to go."

"Exactly," Jaune closed his eye and let out a slow breath when he opened his eye Ruby gasped.

His eye was glowing a deep blue, slightly darker than the color of his eyes. But there was also a deep red glow coming from behind his eyepatch. "They're over there." He said, pointing off to a building next to the tower.

Ruby blinked owlishly before rushing off, rose petals left floating in her place "What are you waiting for, let's go!"

Yo, yes I am still alive, No I haven't done anything fun while I was gone, and no I don't have a good excuse for disappearing.

For those of you that have read the original version of this story, the reason I have decided to remake it is simple. I didn't like it. Not only did I find my writing there horrible(as if it is any good here) but I felt it was going too slow. anything that happened there is technically canon to this story but you don't really need to care about it anymore [spoilers(kinda maybe)] it is probably going to come up in this story again anyways.[spoilers(kinda maybe) over]

anyways have a nice day/night or whatever when I decide to actually post this.

Oh yeah I got a Tumblr now, it's the same name as my FF name cuz I'm not creative or somethin
