tragic backtory (tm) au) the legend of jaune arc grows, slowly bringing more and more people into it, but when his little sister and overdramatic theater kid come for a visit, well apparently jaune's sword is magic now, and he's a master thief. he of course picked this time to learn the aura slash on his own time and now pyrrha is starting to believe there might be more to jaune than even she knew!
other stories include, jaune's lost love. his wife via arranged marriage who died tragically (tm) of a broken heart after he left her for his quest for justice. and how he's part of a secret order devoted to protecting the silver eyed warriors
Ruby: "of course! that's why he was so nice to me and just walked up to me out of nowhere!"
violet: "he's also supposed to marry you to make sure your magic eyes are passed down to the next generation"
... what? a little sister can't rig the game for her favorite ship? ruby's cute and she wants her as a sister in law. besides who ever heard about magic eyes?
Jaune sat in the lounge while his sisters, Violet and Indigo, sat on either side talking about their trip. Jaune nodded along as they explained their flight, the status of home, and ended by asking how his time at Beacon had been. Before he could answer, however, someone else spoke for him.
Violet: Ooh! Who is this, Jaune? Your girlfriend?
Jaune: (Sighs) Nora, these are my sisters, Vi and Indie. Girls, this is Nora. She's on my team here at Beacon.
Nora: (Gasps) Jaune's sisters?! You have to tell me everything!
Jaune: Ugh, please, no...
Indigo: Oh, stop being such a cry-baby, Yawny. Nora, right? We can meet up later for all the juicy details.
Nora: Yes! I'll bring some friends, too!
Indigo: Hey, the more, the merrier, right?
Nora: (Runs off) I gotta get the girls!
Violet: It was nice meeting you! And the reason you two aren't dating is because...?
Jaune: Are you really going to play matchmaker right now?
Violet: The last one worked out just fine, didn't it?
Jaune: Amber literally cried when she found out her "secret admirer" was me. Mom had to get between me and her dad when he found out.
Violet: You were fine! You were young, and her dad was just overprotective.
Jaune: We were twelve, and her Dad just got out of prison.
Violet: Oh, you're exaggerating!
Ruby: (Walking behind them, Hearing everything)
Jaune: I'm not dying just so you can say you guys were right.
Violet: But think of the wedding! Wouldn't you like to be Jaune Oakwood-Arc?
Jaune: No! Especially if that means I'm marrying into a family that doesn't want me!
Ruby: (Gasps, Speeds away)
Indigo: Hm? What was that?
Jaune: (Looks behind) Oh, that was probably Ruby. Her semblance makes rose petals when she uses it.
Violet: Roses? (Gasps) Like the love flowers?! That's so romantic!
Indigo: Anyways, while she's planning your wedding, tell me about why Nora wouldn't date you?
Jaune: Aside from it's me, Nora is already with somebody.
Indigo: So? Just because there's a goalie, it doesn't mean you can't score.
Jaune: (Covering his face) For the love of...
Ruby: (Barrels through the dorm room) Guys! We have an emergency!
Weiss: What is it? Torchwick?
Ruby: Jaune's getting married!
Weiss: (WBY faceplant, Gets up) You dolt! You said it was an emergency!
Ruby: It is, though! His sisters are here and they're trying to force him to marry someone he doesn't love!
Weiss: A sacrifice I'm sure is for the greater good.
Yang: Hey, come on, Ice Queen, I'm sure whoever Jaune gets with will be one lucky lady.
Blake: Even if it's a Schnee.
Weiss: (Blushing) I would never-!
Blake: But you said his sisters are here? What do they look like?
Ruby: Well, I only saw the backs of their heads, but they were both blonde, and one of them had their hair tied back in a ponytail with a blue bow, and the other one was wearing a headband, also with a blue bow.
Ruby: I couldn't tell, but they were talking like they're going to be the ones setting it up.
Blake: Probably older, then. Did you hear who he was marrying?
Ruby: Not really, but I heard them say, "Jaune Oakwood-Arc."
Yang: Wait, Oakwood? Like Chuck Oakwood?
Yang: Kind of. I remember reading in a motorcycle magazine about him going to jail. He used to harrass and assault people on the road with his gang. They called "The Biker Tyrant." I don't know why they would try to be setting Jaune up with anyone related to him, though.
Blake: Well, what if this girl they're arranging for him is trying to escape her family. If this Chuck is as violent as they say, and she's related to him, it's possible she's trying to live a peaceful life.
Ruby: But why would Jaune say no to helping her?
Weiss: Not to get involved in this game of spinning tales, but maybe he's connected to something higher, and the situation now is too delicate to get involved with now.
Yang: OH! The Biker-Kingdom!
Yang: It's an international crime-ring of bikers. They have agents all over Remnant. I bet if Jaune married into one of their gangs, he could rise up to be a head-honcho!
Weiss: (Laughs) Stop! Stop! Do you hear yourself? Arc, the Jaune Arc, becomes a gang-leader of a bunch of bikers! Can you even imagine him, black biker jacket, chains strewn about his shoulders, a helmet under his arms?!
Ruby: (Blushing) I mean, I can...
Jaune: Guys, these are my sisters, Violet and Indigo. You've already met Nora.
Jaune: This is Ren, Nora's partner and also on my team.
Violet: (Whispers) This must be Nora's man.
Indigo: (Whispering) I can see why.
Jaune: This is Pyrrha, my partner.
Indigo: Wait, isn't she from the cereal box?
Jaune: (Chuckles) Yeah, she is. Apparently, she was a champion over in Mistral.
Indigo: And she got stuck with you?
Jaune: Uh, I wouldnt put it like that-
Indigo: We are so sorry for our brother.
Violet: Really and truly sorry.
Pyrrha: Oh, um, it's okay. (Thinking) These are his sisters? Are all siblings like this?
Jaune: Anyways, this is Team RWBY, our neighbors and close friends... who decided to show up for some reason.
Ruby: We have so many questions!
Yang: Eheh, uh, what she means is that we had to meet you after hearing that Jaune's sisters were here.
Jaune: Right, because I'm such a fascinating subject.
Ruby: You are, though! (Everyone stares at her, She shrinks) Um... Hi, I'm Ruby Rose.
Violet: Oh, so you're the girl from earlier?
Indigo: Jaune told us about you after you left some petals on the ground.
Ruby: Oh, really? Hehe, my bad.
Violet: Oh, it's no trouble, no trouble! So, tell me, how do you feel about our brother?
Violet: What? I'm just trying to help you out here!
Weiss: With what, exactly?
Indigo: Our brother's so incompetent with girls, we decide to give him a hand.
Weiss: Such as arranged marriages?
Indigo: We don't go that far.
Violet: (Whispers) Because it never gets that far.
Weiss: Hm. Well, Arc, I think you should listen to your sisters more. Maybe then you would actually have some understanding of how romance works.
Violet: What do you mean?
Weiss: First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Weiss Schnee, and your brother has been obnoxiously trying to get my attention for months now.
Violet: (Turns to Jaune, Wicked smile) Oh?
Indigo: (Turns to Jaune, Evil smile) Really?
Weiss: Asking me out on dates to events with no interest to me, attempting to serenade me with songs that sound like a dying cat, and constantly standing in my way of achieving success!
Violet: Just letting it all out, huh?
Jaune: It's... a bit of a regular thing.
Indigo: Eh, you're better off, anyways.
Weiss: See, Arc? They understand.
Indigo: After all, you're too good for her.
Jaune: Uh, moving on! Uh, the girl holding back Weiss' murderous intent right now is Yang, Ruby's sister.
Yang: (Holding back the angry Weiss) Hey! Erk! Wassup?
Indigo: (Whistles) Dang, you are stacked!
Yang: Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself.
Jaune: Ugh, please no. Could you not?
Indigo: Don't mind him. He's always had an issue with how I talk to girls.
Yang: Probably because he can't talk to them like you do.
Indigo: That's what I said!
Jaune: Oh, great, there's two of them!
Yang: Relax, lady killer, I'm just teasing you!
Jaune: Ugh... And this is Yang's partner, Blake.
Violet: Hm... There's something off about her.
Indigo: Yeah, now that you mention it.
Blake: (Leans away) Uh, is there?
Violet: Yeah, there is. No doubt about it. (Points her index finger at Blake accusingly) You're a pervert, aren't you?!
Indigo: (Taps her palm with her fist) That's what it is!
Violet: It's so obvious. Her quiet demeanor.
Indigo: Those intelligent eyes.
Violet: Her tense, impatient posture, as if she's restless to go back to her debauchery.
Indigo: Be careful, Jaune; this kitten has claws.
Blake: (Digs into the couch)
Jaune: Will you two stop! Blake isn't a pervert! Right, Blake?
Ruby: Unrelated to anything, what would you think about any of us dating your brother? (Everyone stares at her) J-Just hypothetically! A crazy idea!
Violet: ...Well, since you asked-
Indigo: Oh, boy, here we go...
Violet: Based on my expertise in matchmaking, I can tell a lot of you have potential!
Indigo: Forget it, Jaune. Once Vi starts, she doesn't stop.
Jaune: (Scroll buzzes) Oh, thank goodness! I have to go. You two stop trying to hook me up! (Sprints away)
Vi: I wouldn't have to try if you just manned up! Now, where was I? Oh, yes! Starting with you, Miss Rose...
Jaune: Yes, they're fine, Mom. ...No, Mom, they're not sick. ...I really don't want to think about them like that, Mom. ...Fine, Mom, I'll make sure they don't get pregnant, even though half this school is full of guys too young for them. ...Mom, I really don't need to hear that from you. ...They're hanging out with my friends right now. ...They're all girls, Mom. Well, except for Ren, but he's already with Nora. I think. ...Oh, great, so that's where Indie got it from. ...They're fine, Mom. What's the worst that could happen?
Violet: So you think our brother is an orphan, sky-pirate slave, and we're trying to set him up with someone he doesn't love to benefit our status?
Nora: Well, not anymore. I mean, if you're his sisters, then that pretty much debunks the whole thing, huh?
Indigo: Oh, honey, (Places her hand on Nora's knee) there's so much more to it than that.
Violet: Indie, what are you-?!
Indigo: It's time, Vi. (Looks to Violet, Stealthily winks) They should know the truth about who he really is.
Violet: ...You're right. Now, let's start with the truth. Jaune isn't an orphan. Not anymore anyways. He was adopted by our family, but we never treated him any different. He's still our baby brother.
Indigo: Technically, he's our cousin, but his parents died while he was young. His aunt and uncle, our parents, adopted him, training him in the ways of the sword when he was old enough.
Violet: That sword belonged to our uncle, but when Jaune used it, it revealed his position. (Tears up) We were so scared when the raid began to search for him! We tried to protect him, but they were unstoppable!
Indigo: Shshsh, there, there. (Snickers, Coughs to cover it up) We didn't see him again for years until he returned home one day, with her.
Violet: (Sighs dreamily) Scarlet. She was the sweetest woman you would have ever met. She helped him escape, and the two eloped shortly after. She trained him to fight without aura, and so he did for the longest time.
Indigo: But then illness took her too soon, and she was buried before that winter came. He never moved on from her. He doesn't even like to talk about her. But his heart would always be hers, and hers his.
Indigo: (Cough) tm (Cough).
Violet: On her final day, she said to him these words...
Scarlet: (Faceless, Dying in bed) Beloved, my dawn, my noon, my sunset, please do not weep for me. Though my body may perish, my soul shall ever be yours. In times of great peril, I will aid the swing of your blade, and you shall be safe, and find love once more.
Blake: So that's his story...
Indigo: (Cough) tm (Cough).
Jaune: I'm back! I hope everything- WOAH! Why is everyone crying?! Indie, what did you do?!
Indigo: Don't look at me, Jaune! They wanted to hear about you, so we told them everything they needed to know.
Jaune: How do you make people cry telling them about me?! You know what, I don't want to know. I'm taking you guys to your hotel room. Good night, guys. (Walks away with Indigo and Violet)
Pyrrha: (Sniffs) The bravest boy.
Jaune: Hey, listen, I'm really sorry about my sisters. They can kind of be a handful.
Pyrrha: It's no problem at all, Jaune. After all, you can't choose your family.
Jaune: (Sighs) If only that was different.
Pyrrha: What do you mean?
Jaune: I know it's going to sound weird, since you don't have siblings, but, did you ever feel like you didn't belong? Like nobody understood who you were, least of all you?
Pyrrha: Actually, I have felt that way. As far as I can remember, I have felt different from everyone else, and I couldn't tell who I really was. That is, until I came to Beacon.
Jaune: I'm glad things worked out for you, Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: Give it time, and it will for you, too. And your sisters... They mean well. They love you, no matter where you go or where you came from.
Pyrrha: Anytime, Jaune. Now, onto sparring practice!
Jaune: Yeah! (Spars with Pyrrha for ten minutes, Unleashes a sword beam) WOAH!
Pyrrha: (Blocks it) What on Remnant was that?!
Jaune: I-I don't know! I was going through the motions, then I got distracted by that sunset, and all of a sudden, whoosh!
Jaune: What?! What is it?!
Pyrrha: Oh, uh, we, uh, just have a big test tomorrow, and we should really call it early tonight.
Jaune: Right! The test! Good thinking, Pyr! We better head down!
Pyrrha: Of course, of course! I'm right behind you! (Looks to the sunset) Thank you, Scarlet. I promise to take good care of him.
Cardin: (From the window sill below) Who the hell is Scarlet?
