WhiteKnight Week 2026: Day 1- Knights and Angels
"Divine Intervention"
Jaune, what's a paradox?
Part 8 (Part 7, Part 6, Part 5, Part 4, Part 3, Part 2, Part 1)
Ooblack: -Okay, to summarize:
Basically, the laws of physics prohibits anything with mass to accelerate towards the speed of light. That’s because, as Ozmuth’s equations show, the faster you move towards that speed, the more mass you acquire, and it reaches the point where you’d need infinite energy for a body of mass to accelerate to that point, which is why it’s impossible for anything to approach light speed besides protons and other forms of radiation. The mass would just become too large, and time dilation would basically make time freeze for you as you reach that speed.
Weiss: eyes twitching. the question was about dust professor....
Ooblack: Doctor actually, but you are correct. Now as I was saying, the great war effected-
Teacher?: effected all of Remnant might not have been so long ago, your parents witnessed history that will be taught for generations.
Jaune: raising his head. Huh? What?
Jaune looks to the right and see Summer and Qrow, then looked to the left to see Taiyang and Raven.
Qrow: oh look, the bastard who abandoned us.
Summer: Jaune? What are you doing here? Don't you usually show up in our room?
Raven: thinking, then smirked. That bastard is sleeping in class.
Jaune: flustered. W- well, it's his problem.
Jaune points to Ooblack in the front seat, who's currently writing everything down.
Taiyang: huh, Bart as a teacher, I can definitely see it.
Jaune: the man talks in super speed, barely anyone in class can keep up with him.
Summer: well, he does like his history I'll give you that...
Qrow: the man is a nerd Summer, just like you with those childish fairytales.
Summer turns to Qrow.
Summer: those fairytale came from somewhere, don't you think it interesting how they all could be connected, or that it shows us the mystery of our world.
Summer said, her silver eyes shining.
Raven: aaannnndddd her she goes again.
Summer: I mean just look at Jaune, he's from the future, doesn't that make you exited?
A flash of worry came to Raven, but quickly masked it.
Raven: how about we talk about the reason he just left us hanging while team JNBR beat us up, again.
All eyes turned to jaune.
Jaune: nervous. Well, Ruby woke me up, and we went to fight R-
Jaune cut himself off.
Taiyang: who?
Jaune: ahh, some thug who was stealing dust.
Ozpin: excellent segue students, so I implore you to pay attention.
They all froze and look at Ozpin, and team JNBR took notice of Jaune.
Ozpin: as team STRQ said, Dust is considered one of the greatest raising invention in humanity and faunus history, and I like to interduce you to the man who's helping make that clearly by the day, Nicholas Schnee.
Jaune looked up to see the embodiment of a knight. The man wore white armor and carried a helmet in his left arm, his white hair and last name was a clear induction for who he was.
And the girl besides him helped too.
Jaune: ...Weiss?
Nicholas: hello there. Future huntsmen and huntress, my name is Nicholas schnee, and I'll be staying with you for a while, to teach you about the dust and how it can be used to combat the Grimm.
The man smiled charmingly as he went around the class shaking the students hands, his daughter stood to the side, away from the students.
Summer: Shaking hands. H- hello sir, thanks for your company, I managed to make my weapon come to life.
Summer pulled her mech shift axe as Nicholas eyes shined.
Nicholas: it is an impressive weapon young lady, I'm sure the creature of the Grimm will fear you.
Qrow: shaking hands, not breaking eye contact. I've heard about you, might even stole some of your shipment, gotta say good stuff.
Nicholas: eyes nerrowing. Hmm Branwean I presume, indeed, the shipment in Mistral has been hit pretty hard, however, you being here, is enough to quell my heart that you will do the right thing in time.
Qrow's eyes widened in shock as the man walked towards jaune to shake his hand.
Nicholas: eyes squatting. Pardon me young man, but it seems I do not recognize your face from the students files, what's your name?
Jaune: taking his hand. Jaune arc sir, and ahh, I'm pretty impressed by your legacy.
Nicholas laughed wholeheartedly, while Nathan eyes widened, then nerrowed.
Nicholas: well I certainly hope so, legacy is an important thing, and I hope she'll be ready when it's time for her.
They both glanced at the girl who looked like Weiss, as Nicholas tight his handshake.
Nicholas: I sure hope she finds the right person who can make her happy.
Jaune: nervous. haha, I sure hope sure.
Ruby: Jaune wake up class is over-
Jaune: oh, ruby? Did the class end.
Jaune looked to ruby, who stood frozen in her place.
Jaune: ahh, ruby?
He wanted to wave his hand in front of her, but it was clutching something else, his head turned, as realization dawned on him.
Nicholas: what the-
Nicholas eyes widened as his eyes met another person.
Weiss: grandfather...?
Before any of them could say another word, black matter started to spread all over him, taking momentum as it spread all over Nicholas.
Weiss: panicked. Grandfather!
Weiss rushed in, as Nicholas tried to remove the strange matter but with no use, as it consommed him, an explosion destroyed everything around him.
Jaune stood up, looking at the aftermath, while team rwby and the rest of his team hugged Weiss,
Jaune: ...what the hell just happened.
Penny: I told you friend Jaune.
Jaune jumped back as penny suddenly appeared.
Penny: pardon my language friend Jaune, but I FUCKING told you not to break the rules we made.
Jaune: nervous. We still didn't make the rules?
Penny stared into jaune for a long moment, then Jaune suddenly got a message.
Penny: Ok that one on me. I sent you the rules, try and follow them. And we will start testing tomorrow.
Penny left the room, leaving jaune standing in a crater, Weiss crying to the side, and the rest of his team and his friends waiting for an explanation.
Jaune: murmuring. Fucking paradox.
Ruby took a deep breath then Looked a jaune.
Ruby: in the nicest voice she could muster while holding her rage: Jaune, what's a paradox?
Something Stupid
Yang: Hey, Blake?
Blake: Yeah?
Yang: You ever get those feelings to do something stupid?
Blake: No.
Yang: Well I feel like doing something stupid…
Blake: Okay.
Yang: But, I don’t know what to do…
Blake: Alright.
Jaune: Hey girls! What’s up?
Yang: I’m trying to think of something stupid to do, but I can’t think of anything to do.
Jaune: Something stupid? I’m stupid! Do me!
BY: …
Jaune: :D
Yang: Alright then~!
Jaune: Yay!
Blake: …
Blake: Holy shit…
Blake: That actually worked?!
Jaune, what's a paradox?
Part 7 (Part6, Part5, Part4, Part3, Part2, Part1).
*Juane and Ruby arrived just as the fight finished.
Ruby: rushing in. Blake, are you ok?
Blake: looking reliefed. Ruby, Jaune too.
Roman: well well, if it isn't our little red here, and what's that, a new blonde... Friend.
*Roman grabs his head in pain.
Roman: huh? Hey you kid, name.
Jaune: confused. Huh, me?
Roman: angry. Yes you, I'm already busted here, no way to escape, might as well know the people who stopped me.
*Jaune looks at Blake, Sun and Penny.
Jaune: pointing at them. But they stopped you.
Roman: oh gods you're just as dense, let me guess, an Arc?
*Jaune eyes widened.
Sun: wait, you know this guy?
Jaune: I just met him, also who are you?
Sun: oh my bad, name is Sun, oh and this is Penny.
Penny: waving her hand. Salutations Friend Ruby and friend Arc.
Jaune: it's Jaune actually, nice to meet you too Penny, also Sun, this is Ruby.
Ruby: waving her hand. Hello the guy who got on a ship illegally.
Sun: winced. Oh right, you were there.
*Blake looking between them and then back to Roman on the ground.
Blake: guys... We kinda in the middle of something, introduction later.
*Blake looks at Jaune.
Blake: any idea why he knows your family's name?
Jaune: ahhh, it's pretty famous family in Vale?
Roman: the Arcs are famous for being oblivious idiots.
Jaune: offended. HEY.
Roman: smirking. Am I wrong though?
*Blake and Ruby turned to jaune, then begrudgingly nodded.
Jaune: NOT YOU TWO.
Roman: sad smile on his face. So you are Nathan's kid huh?
*Jaune looks back to Roman confused. And Juniper too.
Roman: eyes sparkling. Are you know, took him long enough to notice. I am happy for them, truly.
*Roman stood up and dusted himself off.
Roman: listen kids, and I'm only saying this because I know like-
*Roman started to count them.
Roman: -i know all of your parents, except the monkey and the weird Gingar head girl. Don't get involved any more than this.
*sound of broken glass echoed.
Roman: welp, my ride is here, so long kids.
*Girl appeared besides him, then both broken to glass.
Blake: ...what just happened?
Ruby: did he say he knows our parents?
Jaune: ...not the weirdest thing I've seen today to be honest.
Sun: I saw Penny shoot Lazer from her swords, this is pretty tame.
Penny: with a smile. I could have ordered an orbital strike on him if you wanted, but I thought it would be inconvenient to find the bodies.
*Everyone slowly turned to Penny.
Blake: ...I better make up with Weiss, let's go Ruby.
*Blake dragged ruby away.
Sun: ...I better go and inform Beacon I came early for the festival.
*Sun winks at Jaune as he runs away. Leaving Jaune and penny staring at each other.
Penny: and you friend Jaune, you have anything to do?
Jaune: ...I can travel to the past when I sleep.
*long silence.
Penny: smiling. You Have a proof? If not, I can recommend multiple hospital and psych ward for you to check if you have head injury... Or something else.
*Jaune stared at her, then remembered his scroll.
Jaune: here, I somehow took my scroll with me, and took a picture.
*Jaune showed penny the photo, which was a selfie from kid roman with team STRQ in the background looking shocked while Jaune looked panicked.
Penny: extended her hand. would you mind?
Jaune: ahh sure.
*hands the scroll over, and her eyes started to glow green.
Penny: hmm, it seems you're not lying, this picture was taken almost 70 minutes ago, and at that time, Roman torchwick was fighting friend Blake.
*Penny's eyes started to blink as she continued talking.
Penny: the team in the picture is team STRQ, lead by the now deceased Summer rose [MIA] Taiyang Xiao long [teacher at signal academy], Raven branwean [missing] and Qrow branwean [teacher at signal academy]-
Jaune: surprised. Wow, how did you get all that information from just holding my scroll.
Penny: Roman torchwick, member of team- oh well... It's my semblance, it let me access the internet.
*Penny hiccupped.
Penny: Now what's important is to make sure this paranormal phenomenon doesn't result in a paradox.
Jaune: confused. yes, definitely, we don't need... paradox on our hands, right?
Penny: affirmative, however, further testing would be required, so we need to set some rules so you won't accidentally create a paradox.
Jaune: still confused. I've already started some test to not let the paradox thingy happen.
Penny: that is admirable friend Jaune, however, I would suggest to add another observer to your testing to see how it works, I will request to stay in Beacon until we can confirm no paradox happening.
Jaune:... Penny.
Penny: Yes friend Jaune?
Jaune: what's a paradox?
Jaune, what's a paradox?
Part 6 (Part 5, Part 4, Part 3, Part 2, Part 1)
Summer: smile disappearing. We're gonna lose this.
Jaune: HEY.
Taiyang: listen Jaune, we like you... Well, you exist and unexist, and you barely can move around Beacon before you disappear, so we can't really count on you.
Jaune: deadpan look. Oh thanks Tai, feeling real appreciated right now.
Qrow: Hey, I take any chance to beat up Roman, that sly fox keep winning our Remnant bored game matches, and I'm 80% sure he's cheating.
Jaune: in his mind. Roman? Where did I hear that name before?
Summer: fine, I'll take any chance to beat Juni.
Jaune: who?
Taiyang: right, so the team we are fighting is our sister team, literally. Team JNBR's leader and Summer are sisters, adopted, so we don't have the motherly caring they have.
*Summer punched Taiyang on the arm.
Summer: HEY.
Taiyang: smirking. See.
Raven: studying Jaune reaction. The team is lead by Juniper evergreen, and the rest are Nathan Arc, Bartholomew Ooblack, Bart for short, and Roman torchwick.
*Jaune froze in his place.
Taiyang: ... Yeah we figured as much.
Jaune: Nathan and Juniper...?
Summer: ... Yeah, we figured if you're from the future, then Nathan must be related to you, and by your reaction, Juniper and Bart still in contact with you.
*Summer smiled sadly.
Jaune: MOM AND DAD WERE IN THE SAME TEAM?????
Raven: WHAT, THAT BITCH GOT MY NATHAN.
*Taiyang cringed as he looked away in disappointment and little hopeful.
Summer: Juni married Nathan? LETS GOOO, I'VE BEEN SHIPPING THEM FOR SO LONG.
*Raven glared at Summer.
Raven: of course you did, you and yours sister are all about blondes.
*Summer blushed, then suddenly froze.
Summer: to her self in a low voice. Wait, Jaune didn't know who I was when he came here, does that mean me and Juniper will fall apart?
*Qrow stare at Jaune.
Qrow: thinking. Hmm, yeah I can see it, bet Roman is helluva an uncle huh.
Jaune: regained some kind of sense. I- I don't know Roman, his name sounds familiar though. And Bart... Dr. Ooblack is my teacher in Beacon, he never mentioned he was on a team with my parents.
*take a moment to breath in, then freaked out more.
Jaune: oh gods, I knew my dad went to Beacon, and I knew mom was a huntress, but they never told us they were on the same team. Wait, are they partners too?
Qrow: Nope, Juni with Bart, while Nathan has Roman, weird I expected you to know him, Nathan and Roman finally started to get along.
*an alarm went off as team STRQ stood up, prepared.
Jaune: confused. what's that?
Summer: someone got passed our defenses. They are coming.
*they all reached for their weapons. Summer with mech shift axe, Taiyang with gauntlets, Raven with what looked like a katana, and Qrow with some kind of mech shift sword that turned into a scythe.
*Jaune stared at the scythe, then Qrow.
Jaune: ohhhh, that make sense I guess.
Qrow: eyes nerrowed. What?
Jaune: nothing, oh mind if I take a picture?
Qrow: knock yourself out.
*Jaune started to look for his scroll but couldn't find it.
Jaune: I swear I had it somewhere here.
????: neat thing, really advanced too, never seem anything like it before.
*They all turned back to face an orange hair boy holding a scroll.
???: aaaannnnddddd here's your picture, savor it, because this room will become rubble in a few seconds.
*throws the scroll at Jaune, who barely catches it.
Taiyang: growling. Roman, you tripped the alarm, that means the rest are coming too.
Roman: smirking. Nope, I'm not the planner, Juni is, and she knew you will be prepared for a flank attack.
*the wall get smashed. As a blonde hair girl with emerald eyes walks in.
Juniper: and so obviously, you won't expext this.
Summer: dammit, Jaune, the plan-
*Jaune dematerialize in front of them, but team JNBR didn't notices thanks for the rubble.
Summer: ...fuck.
.
.
.
Ruby: JAUNE WAKE UP.
*Jaune blinking into consciousness.
Ruby: come on, we gotta go, Blake in trouble.
*Jaune looked around, they were in the library.
Jaune: what? When did I sleep.
Ruby: frustrated. While reading about the Beacon civil war, I didn't want to disturb you so I was on my scroll seeing if they found Blake. Looks like she's in trouble.
Jaune: standing up. Where?
Ruby: the Docks, she was hunting down white fang and insisting it was Roman torchwick.
*Jaune stared blankly at her.
Jaune: ...Roman torchwick?
*Ruby nods.
Jaune: the criminal you stopped and the reason why you got in early...?
*Ruby nods.
Jaune: ...fuck.
Ruby: flabbergasted. BAD WORD, also not the time, let's go.
*Ruby grabbed jaunes hand as she sped towards the exist.
Jaune, what's a paradox?
Part 5 (Part 4, Part 3, Part 2, Part 1)
Ruby: pouting. Are you listen Jaune?
*Jaune looks at ruby.
Jaune: confused. What?
Ruby: dammit Jaune, now I have to start again.
Jaune: sorry Rubes, I got things on my mind.
Ruby: like what, how to ask Weiss out? Actually, that's a good idea, might actually help the situation we are having.
Jaune: confused again. What situation?
Ruby: rolling her eyes. the Blake is a faunus and is missing situation, ever since she and Weiss start that stupid fight.
Jaune: ohhhh that. I don't know ruby, sound like this should stay in your team, and maybe not tell me that...
*Ruby blinked twice, thrice, then slapped her face.
Ruby: Jaune...
Jaune: you didn't tell me anything.
Ruby: smiling. Thank you.
Jaune: anyway, the reason I came to talk to you, do you have any stories about your parents team?
Ruby: annoyed. Is this about the whole traveling to the past thingy? Because I still don't believe you.
Jaune: just humor me for now.
Ruby: sighing.fine, but just one, I still need to find blake.
Jaune: and team JNPR is already helping you.
Ruby: right... Oh ok, so one time my mom and dad convinced my uncle to wear a skirt to their classes.
Jaune: ahh, maybe something around their later years perhaps, like what they did after graduation.
*Ruby's finger started taping on her mouth as she thought. Then her eyes shined.
Ruby: grabbing Jaune's arm as she sped through the hallway. I have the perfect story.
.
.
.
Taiyang: We need a plan, or JNBR will win this.
Summer: yeah, and I can't have Juni rubbing this in my faces, as a team leader I command you not to let that happen.
Qrow: oh sure, how about you deal with their tank then command us, last time I fought against Nathen I felt like hitting a brick wall.
Raven: smirking. At least a brick wall won't fight back, besides, it's part of his charm.
Summer: Raven, focus. They might have the advantage in strength, mind, trickery, and know us too well...
Taiyang: oh gods we're so screwed.
Qrow: talking about the advantage, I really hope our residents time traveler is-
*in the middle of the room, Jaune arc just materialized.
Qrow: -here...
*Raven punshes Qrow.
Raven: you couldn't just say we win.
Jaune: ... should I come back later?
Summer: nonononono. You came just in time.
Jaune: I feel like it's a bad time.
Taiyang: well, you're our ticket to win this-
*Jaune cuts him off.
Jaune: civil war?
Taiyang: stunned. Yes, how did you know that?
Jaune: shrugs. Well, i literally just got a vague story about it, a team called JNBR won it.
Summer: DAMMIT IT.
Raven: well, anything more? Like how they won, what they did and all that.
Jaune: well, the story just had how Beacon became a war zone, and that they won. But don't worry, you guys have an advantage.
Summer, Taiyang, Raven, and Qrow: which is...?
Jaune: smirking. You have a time traveler here.
POV: You are a Beacon Team leader during the weekly Team leader reunion when you see Cardin entering the room
Jaune, what's a paradox?
Part 4 (part 1, part 2, part 3)
Pyrrha: How long are you staying up again?
*Pyrrha, Ren and Nora wearing their pajamas
Jaune:*holding a cup of coffee. I'll be studying all night, don't worry about me guys.
Ren: Well, it is admirable you want to study hard jaune, but keep your health in mind.
Nora: Yeah, team RWBY is heading to Vale tomorrow, we can go to the Arcades then catch up with them and have dinner.
Jaune: yeah sure, doesn't sound like a bad idea.
*they all went to sleep as jaune made a pot of coffee.
Jaune:*over a note book. Right, each time I go to sleep, I find myself back in time, around probably 20 or so years, I'm not sure when team STRQ was formed, but knowing Yang's ago, it must be between 20 to 30 years ago.
Jaune:*holding the cup of coffee. Alright, know that is done, I need to experiment, see what I can do, to see if this is my semblanc-
Summer: what you got there Jaune?
*jaune flinches back as Summer looked at him curiously.
Jaune: S- Summer? What? I didn't fall asleep... Did I?
Summer: at this point we accepted that a random person just keep showing up in our room.
*she looked to the side and huffed.
Summer: even Juniper doesn't believe me, and Professor Ozpin keep smiling like we made an imaginary friend... Are you?
*Summer silver eyes stared into him.
Jaune: I'm not a hallucination, I am real. Wait, did you say Juniper?
*Jaune said with voice raised, his cup of coffee spilled on the floor.
Jaune: what the? I can take things with me!!!
Summer: oh, is that coffee??? GIVE ME.
*Summer snatched the cup of coffee and inhaled the liquid, it all disappearing in a second.
Summer: oh it so GOOD!!
Raven: hey Summer, do you know- oh it's you again.
*Raven waved passively as she walked closer, noticing the cup on the ground.
Raven: *face turning pale. Is that coffee...?
Jaune:*confused. Yes?
Raven: did Summer drink it?
Jaune: yeah, she snatched it from me and- HEY.
*Raven dragged Jaune as she open a portal and jump in while still holding jaune.
Taiyang: Raven, what did we say about opening portals without an emergency- oh it's Jaune-
Raven: Summer drank coffee.
*Everyone froze, even the students around them as they ignored his existence.
Qrow: shit.
Taiyang: FUCK.
Jaune: ahhh, what's happening?
Qrow: nothing much, Sum just goes super crazy super fast and no one can stop her, like at all.
*Red tornado approaches from a distant.
Jaune: ...I hope one of my teammate wakes me up right about now.
Raven: hell no, you caused this, you're fixing it.
Jaune:*yelling. how the hell am I suppose to fix this?
Raven: also yelling. You're from the future right? Do something.
Taiyang: alright, we need to evacuate everyone not yell at each other. Qrow come with me.
*Qrow looks between jaune and Raven, and decided to go with Taiyang.
Jaune: oh I'm sorry, I have classes so I can't actively look for what happened in the past.
Raven: oh what a great excuse, you can travel through time and you didn't think of looking what the past holds?
*Raven starts get anger as she holds her weapon.
Raven: you said you know a girl like summer in the future, did she never mentioned her mom to you?
Jaune:*anger matches Raven. Of course she did, she's my best friend!
Raven: THEN TALK ALREADY!
Jaune: HER MOM IS FUCKING DEAD.
gettt dunked onnn
continuation of this lolol
Jaune, what's a paradox?
Part 3 (part 1 and part 2)
Ruby: ahhh jaune?
Jaune:*staring at Ruby. Say Ruby, does the name Summer rose mean anything to you?
*Ruby frezzes in her place.
Ruby:*shocked. Yes, that's my mom's name, how did you know that?
Jaune: ahhh, you won't believe this, but I think I can travel through time every time I sleep.
*Ruby glares at him.
Jaune: ... that's a fair reaction yes, but I'm not lying.
*Ruby stares at him without any words and walk away.
Jaune: ...yeah I jumped the gun here, I might have better luck convincing team STRQ.
.
.
.
Qrow: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*Qrow rolls over on the ground from laughter.
Jaune: ....welp, I was wrong.
Qrow: oh brothers, that's hilarious.
Taiyang: come on Qrow, don't laugh like that
Raven: come on you Tai, you believe that yellow rug.*points at tied up jaune to the chair.
Summer: I'll give him A for creativity, and A+ for somehow keep on getting into our room.
Qrow: oh that was fun, let's kill him now.
*Qrow stands up and reach for his weapon.
Jaune: wait wait wait, I can prove that I'm from the future, just ask me anything.
Taiyang: oh really? Then please tell us what's going to happen in the "future".
Jaune: W- well, I'm not exactly familiar with your time, I know Summer is the mom of one of my friends, and another one shares the last name as Taiyang here.
*Summer and Tai share a look, and Summer looks away blushing.
Tai: you're saying me and Summer will get together?
Jaune: Well, I think so? Raven does look like Yang but with black hair inside of blonde.
*a long silence followed.
Raven: ...so, one of your friends looks just like me but with blonde hair?
*jaune nods
Raven: and Her name is...Yang?
*jaune nods.
Raven: and she's Taiyang's daughter.
*Jaune nods
Jaune: yeah, Yang Xiao long.
Raven: ...I need to kill my future self.
Summer: huh? Why?
*Tai couldn't hold his laughter as he fell to the ground.
Qrow: oh brothers this is getting better and better.
Summer:*a pout on her face. can someone please explain this to me.
Raven: Yeah, this going to take a while.
*Raven eyes widened as she looks at Jaune.
Raven: wait, does telling us this now change the future? Like, now that we know I would have a kid with....him, does that mean I can change it.
*Jaune thought about it for a second.
Jaune: well, I never tested this, so I don't know if you would name your daughter Yang now or not.
Pyrrha: ...I won't name my daughter Yang, I mean, it's too early to think about that jaune.
Jaune: ...dammit. sorry Pyrrha, I had a strange dream.
*Pyrrha looks at him strangely.
Pyrrha: ....a naughty dream?
*Jaune blushes.
Jaune: NO, I WAS TIED UP AND-
Nora: OH GOD JAUNE HAS-
Ren: it's too early for this shit.
Evil RWBYJNPR au where the two teams are composed by criminals, terrorists, bandits and so on. They barely like each other but have to work together out of survival because they are hunted down by the forces of Salem and Ozpin and by accident they become a somewhat heroic bunch of misfits, deep down enjoying it.
They’re composed by:
Ruby, the (unknowingly to her adopted) daughter of the terrorist Cinder Fall, sent away by her mother to save her from Salem.
Weiss, who murdered her father in an act of rage during a gala and is now wanted for his murder and chased by her sister (who doesn’t want to arrest her but is forced to by her superiors).
Blake, who just like canon is on the run from the White Fang… but this time there’s a bounty on her head, making her paranoid of everyone.
Yang, the daughter of the bandit clan leader Raven Branwen who left her mothers clan after the last volley of insults shouted at each others followed by a brutal beatdown at the hands of her mother and now has no idea of what to do with her life.
Jaune, whose forged documents didn’t work and he got permanently kicked out of Beacon, becoming a thug under Roman to repay his debts, getting increasingly jaded and surprisingly good at his new job to the point that he’s ascending quickly in the ranks at the cost of losing himself more and more.
Nora and Ren, two fellow bandits of the Branwen clan who have been sent by Raven to recover her daughter, only to run away with her because they saw a chance to be free and took it. Close to the point of codependency.
Pyrrha, who snapped after years of being forced to be the perfect champion everyone wanted her to be and went on a murder spree, starting with killing her mother and ending only after hours of her tearing people apart with her semblance. She would hate her current status as the “Champion of Murder” is she wasn’t pretty much dead inside (and hadn’t embraced it out of resignation to a degree).
And finally the two very reluctant mentors Roman and Neo, who just happened to be at ground zero of these kids meeting and now they’re forced to help them because Ruby, being the daughter of their chief, threatened them to.
Oh my, this is gonna be interesting. A lot of ground to work with, even.
Hope you don't mind if I 'cheat' and jump for a scene instead of an origin story. After all, the ask already works as that.
Also, shout out to Gail Simone's Secret Six, which is a very influential comic for this piece.
Enjoy:
--
The place looked like it had lost a fight with the weather decades ago, but no one wanted to demolish the ruins. The sign outside was barely readable, sun-bleached and worn out.
It had been a couple of weeks since the Breach of Vale. Enough time to scatter to the four winds, avoid detection, rest and heal, and then make their way to the rendezvous point in Vacuo. Jeanne's idea to have a back-up plan, but Ren's pick. South Vacuo was easy to reach from Vale, and with barely any law to be a problem.
Inside the joint, the air smelled like burnt grease and bad decisions.
Fitting.
"Real work of class you picked," Weiss commented idly, looking around before glancing down at her plate of chili con carne. "I also asked for a salad."
"Maybe that's what passes for a salad in these parts," Yang replied. But her smirk died as she looked at her ribs, eyes watering from the heavy spices. "…Are these safe, Nora?"
Nora didn't answer. She was already halfway through her meal.
A second later, she shot up.
"Ugh, it's--" She gulped. "It's fighting back."
Ren handed her a glass of something greenish brown and with bubbles. She downed it immediately.
"Not that I'm ungrateful for the food," Pyrrha started.
"But why are we somewhere where the food counts as a war crime?" Blake finished.
"We already went over this," Jeanne said, rolling her eyes. "Ozpin knows our faces. Cinder knows we messed up her plan." She cracked her neck. "We either lie low, or we lie dead."
That settled the table. Not in agreement, but in acceptance.
Yang leaned forward. "So. What's next?"
Ruby hadn't spoken. She sat hunched over her mug, fingers curled tight around the metal like it might slip away if she loosened her grip.
"We can't keep up like this," she finally said.
Weiss frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Jeanne and I have been thinking about it," Ruby said. "We spent the last several months just been taking my mom's orders through Roman." She sighed "Just 'following orders'."
"As always," Yang muttered.
"But then…" Ruby hesitated. The words were stuck for a second.
"Then we realized what we were really doing," Jeanne continued for her. Her tone was steady, too steady. "And we didn't like it."
Silence followed.
Yang looked away first. Nora's grip tightened around her fork hard enough to bend the metal slightly. Blake's ears flattened, not in fear, but in shame.
"There were children at Vale," Pyrrha said, looking up for the first time. "Entire families." Her voice was calm, but Jeanne knew what was behind that. Out of all of them Pyrrha was the most chocked when they realized what they were doing.
"I know." Ruby nodded.
She also remembered. Not the fighting, or the orders. It was the sounds. The destruction and death released in the middle of a populated city.
That THEY had released.
"We may lie, steal, cheat," Jeanne went on, as to cut the tension. "But unleashing a train full of Grimm into a city?" She shook her head. "Apparently that's too much for us."
No one argued. They all remembered when they saw the break, and the Grimm pouring in. How Ruby was the first to react, but Jeanne the one who organized them into saving people for once.
"We helped stop it." Yang said but didn't sound convinced.
"After we caused it," Blake replied, her tone far grimmer.
Pyrrha's gaze lowered onto the table again. "People still died."
No one argued that either.
"So, this is about drawing a line?" Ren asked as he set his glass down with quiet precision.
Ruby snorted. "We're way past that part."
The admission felt heavier out loud. Like she was confessing all of their sins together.
"We're not monsters," Ruby said. "But we're not heroes either. Not after Vale." A pause. "We're too dirty for that now."
She set her mug down with a soft clink.
"That's when it hit me," Jeanne picked up, preventing another guilty silence. "Why are we even trying to pick a side?"
Ren's gaze sharpened, attention locking into Jeanne.
"We don't," Jeanne shrugged. "From now on, we're professionals."
"Professionals?" Weiss raised an eyebrow.
"It's practical," Jeanne explained. "We take jobs. We get paid. We survive."
She made it sound simple, clean and detached.
"And when a job looks like the Breach?" Blake asked, carefully to not sound confrontational.
"We just turn around," Jeanne’s tone remained calm. "And walk away."
"Or we change things," Ruby added.
"Change things how?" Yang frowned, but Ruby met her gaze.
For a second, something uncertain flickered between them.
"If doing the right thing helps us sleep at night," Ruby said, "Then we do that."
"Wait." Nora blinked. "We're allowed to do that?"
A small smile tugged at Jeanne's mouth. "Why not?"
She tapped the table with her mug, grounding the moment.
"We don't need to overthink it. We just do what feels right." A pause. "And we look out for each other, as we agreed before."
That landed in all of them. They were low-lives, criminals, even killers. But they also were alone before meeting each other. For better or worse, they gave each other something to loose.
Something to care about.
Ruby looked around the table, confirming no one had moved, or looked like they were about to argue. But most importantly, no one was making a move to leave.
That was enough.
"To being free." She lifted her mug.
Jeanne raised her glass. "To being safe."
Weiss hesitated, then sighed, like she was giving in to something inevitable. "To… not making things worse."
"To doing whatever we want." Yang smirked, tension gone.
"Together," Nora added quickly, almost spilling her mug.
Ren leaned his shoulder on hers. "To staying alive."
Pyrrha studied her reflection in her drink for a moment. Her expression didn't change, but her shoulders dropped, as if releasing a weight.
"… To us."
Seven mugs met at the middle, but didn't touch. Not yet.
They all turned towards Blake's direction
"You know this won't last," she said, holding her gaze to her companions.
"We can't keep tiptoeing that line forever," she went on. "Someone's going to make us pick a side. Eventually."
Ruby and Jeanne slowly looked at each other, then smiled. It wasn't warm or reassuring. There was no joviality or hope in how they displayed their teeth. What they showed as they both turned back to Blake was sharp and reckless.
The kind of sharp smile people give when they know the odds are against them, and simply do not care.
"If someone ever tries to force any of us to do anything." Ruby lifted her mug slightly. "They're welcome to try."
Blake held her gaze for a moment longer. Then she exhaled, almost amused.
"Figures," she rolled her eyes, then reached for her drink.
"To dumb luck."
This time, the clink came easy.
Jaune, what's a paradox?
Part 2 (I know the first one made everyone a little confused, this one)
Jaune: ...not again.
*Jaune find himself back in the "new" room.

Jaune:*his face turning red, W- wait, I didn't mean that.
Taiyang: Summer, Raven, Qrow, this guy literally just appeared in the room, no clue where he came from.
Qrow:*smirk on his face, or, your stupid blonde head didn't see him come in.
Raven:*chuckling, yeah that probably it.
Summer: how about we start over. Hi, I'm Summer rose, leader of team STRQ, this black hair rude girl is Raven branwean, and the other guy is her brother, Qrow. I presume you already met Taiyang.
*she gestured to her teammates one by one, while Jaune stared at them.
Jaune: Oh... Oh.... AHHHHHH
*Jaune screamed in his head as he tried to collect his thoughts.
Jaune: W- well, I'm Jaune arc, leader of team JNPR and-
Raven: stop fucking lying.
Jaune: what?
Qrow: the last male Arc is in our sister team, and it sure as hell you ain't the leader of team JNBR.
Jaune: I'm the leader of team JNPR, not JNBR.
*jaune took a deep breath before talking again.
Jaune: I think I somehow-
Nora: RAISE AND SHINE FEARLESS LEADER!
Jaune: -Traveled back in time...
Ren:*pulling Nora away from jaune's bed, must've been a good dream. Good morning by the way.
Nora: oh oh, did you meet your parents and told them how many kids they're gonna have?
Jaune: ....bad Nora.
To be continued...
Jaune, what's a paradox? (Small idea might be a fanfic).
Jaune: huh? What time is it?
*he looks outside to see the sun is already up.*
Jaune: shit I'm late, I need to brush my teeth and get my uniform- *opens the bathroom door.
*a black hair woman stares at him.
?????: GET THE FUCK OUT TAI! *throws her toothbrush at him.
Jaune: what- ouch, I'm sorry.
*get out of the room after realizing something is wrong.
Jaune: what the hell, why is everything look... Newer?
*he goes outside and finds the statue in front of Beacon still being built.
????: Tai, are you ok...?
Jaune: what the? Ruby? Thank god.
*rushes to her and gives her a quick hug
Jaune: something wrong is happening, there's a black hair woman in my room, I can't find my stuff, and Beacon looks new for some reason.
*she looks at him strangely.
????: you look... different somehow.
*a voice call for them.
??????: Mr Rose, Mr Xiao long... I mean Mr Arc, how are you doing today.
Jaune:*in a hopeful tone, Headmaster?
Opzin: Headmaster? I'm afraid Headmaster Rean is still too young to take his place, nonetheless, I appreciate your vote of confidence Mr Arc.
Jaune: ...what the fu-
Pyrrha: wake up jaune, we're gonna be late.
*jaune opens his eyes to see Pyrrha waking him up, finally back in his room.
Jaune: -ck...
*Everyone sitting in the Cafeteria minding their own business
Yang: Sooo I have a confession to make.
Blake: Yang, don't say something stupid.
Yang: Hey, I'm serious.
*Ruby with concern: What's up Yang, did something happen?
Yang: well, I'm sorry Nora, I was the one who eat your pancakes, not Ruby.
*long silence as Nora looked at Yang emotionless.
Ruby: IT WAS YOU.
*Ruby stood up and looked at Yang.
Ruby: NORA HUNTED ME DOWN FOR THIS YANG.
Yang: I know I know, that's why I had to put it off my chest.
*Nora kept staring blankly.
Nora: you know what Yang, that's fine.
*everyone looked shocked at Nora as she continued eating.
Nora:*between bits. you know, I was the one who replaced your shampoo with hair dye to match your sister.
Yang: THAT WAS YOU.
*Yang's eyes turned red as she stared daggers at Nora.
*Jaune walks in.
Jaune: Hey guys, I was-
*jaune got slammed with what left of Yang and Nora's breakfast as they start fighting.
Weiss whispering to Blake: should I tell her that I paid Nora for this or...
Blake: *sharing a knowing glance with Ren. No, or Nora would find out it was Ren who put Yang up to this.
