[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

Blake's team want to keep her from running off to fight every white fang she can find in Vale so they convince her she needs to do research and investigations on them first.

Blake researches everything and anything she can find and eventually falls into being a conspiracy theorist, she's even got her own connections board.

"You don't understand Ruby it's the tuna industry! Why is the leader of menagerie a cat faunus? The leader of the white fang? The little old lady who runs the knitting club? It's because the tuna industry is manipulating things to put cat faunus in power that they can then control with mind control compounds in the tuna!"

what people think of this. Its my attempt at what would happened if jaune was even more devastated about not being able to kill Cinder
At haven


The air outside Haven Academy still smelled of smoke and blood.The battlefield was over—but victory didn't feel like victory. Weiss had gone looking for Yang, and Yang had gone looking for Jaune. It was Weiss who spotted him first.

He stood apart from the others, near the broken edge of a shattered courtyard wall. The cratered city sprawled below him, lit by dying fires. His armor was cracked, his sword hung limp in his hand.

"Jaune?" Weiss called, uncertain. He didn't move. Yang came up beside her, limping slightly, Ember Celica dented from the fight. "What's he—" She stopped mid-sentence when Jaune raised the sword, point turned toward himself.
"No…" Weiss whispered. They ran as fast as possible. Jaune didn't turn until they were almost upon him, his eyes empty and glassy, reflecting the broken moon.

"She's gone," he said softly. "I had her killer right there, right in front of me. And I still couldn't do it. I couldn't even avenge her."

Weiss shook her head, voice trembling. "Jaune, what you did—what we all did—saved lives. You can't—"

"I failed her!" he snapped, sudden and raw. "I trained, I fought, I bled—and it wasn't enough! Pyrrha's gone because I wasn't strong enough to protect her. And now I can't even finish what she started."

Yang's tone softened, her fists lowering. "You think dying fixes that? You think she would've wanted that?"

He laughed bitterly, tears streaking through the grime on his face. "She wanted me to live. And I can't even do that right."

Weiss stepped closer, hands out, cautious like approaching a wounded animal. "Jaune… I lost people too. I've seen friends fall. You don't honor them by throwing yourself away. You carry them with you."

Yang moved to his other side, her voice low and trembling. "Look, I wanted Cinder dead too. But ending your story here doesn't bring anyone back. It just leaves the rest of us without you."
Jaune's grip on his sword wavered. "I don't deserve to be here."

Weiss reached for him, aura flickering faintly. "You do. You're still here because you were meant to be. Because Pyrrha believed in something inside you—and so do we."

Yang took another step, her voice breaking. "You're not alone anymore, Jaune. Not ever again. So don't you dare go where we can't follow."

For a long heartbeat, the world was silent.
Then Jaune's sword slipped from his fingers, clattering against the stone. His legs buckled, and he fell to his knees.

Weiss caught him, pulling him close as the sobs finally came—deep, shaking, years overdue. Yang knelt beside them, wrapping both arms around the two of them as the fires of Haven guttered out in the distance.

Three Huntsmen, scarred but still standing.
For the first time since Beacon, Jaune cried not because he'd lost someone—
but because someone had stopped him from losing himself.

You know, CRWBY never really got into detail WHY Crocea Mors was so important. Jaune keeps saying it is an Heirloom passed through generations, but we never really get any good pay out for it being a "really old sword". Someone could argue that it represents Jaune's Character drive, from trying to emulate being a hero, to revenge, to protecting the people he loves. (whomever is left) But let's be real, I expected more.

One way I keep thinking of making Crocea Mors special is by creating a connection between it and the Relic of Destruction. Imagine this: after Joanne Arc (the last Summer Maiden) used the Sword of Destruction to "kill" Salem in the Ages of Old. Looking at the devastation she created Joanne separated the sword into two parts. The Blade and the Hilt. Searching for a good replacement she embeds the powers of the summer Maiden into a new hilt and gives the blade to Ozymandias (Ozma's name at the time). Due to the blade's magic signature (less than it normally was but still suffocating) and it's recent use, the hilt was never questioned.

Now where does Joanne hide the real hilt? In Crocea Mors. This allows the family sword to be more durable than any other blade. This backstory would allow Jaune a Relic Retrival Arc of his own, getting some REAL character development in. Plus, we can still have Jaune falling into the Ever After, but he uses this time the train with the SoD and his swordsmanship to its peak. Hell, let him abuse the "fighting yourself" aspect of the tree. Instead of the Rusted Knight, we would get the Sword Saint. (Jaune could even ask the blacksmith to reforge the SoD into a new sword, one not connected to the brother gods but just as powerful.)

And perhaps it was an expression of her desperation to be free, she might never do it personally, but she clings to the idea that she could, that the only reason she doesn't is because she likes things as they are, with an unhealthy obsession.

Blake tentatively approaches NTR-play with Jaune and he sweeps her off her feet - a pirate captain stealing the princess away, a foreign knight ravishing a kunoichi clan heiress, an Atlesian specialist stealing away a faunus crimelord's woman...

I'd say something internal, like literally having the heart or voice of a lion. Blake obviously thinks it's his genitalia, does she convince the rest of her team?

Blake: "A-HA! I knew it! Your faunus part is...is...great googly moogly, it's like that when soft?!"
Jaune: "Blake, what the hell?!"
Blake: "If...if it goes into Blake...Blake will be...broken...domestic...only good for bearing kittens..."

Pyrrha: *at the gym* "How strange, I had this sudden urge to break every bone in Blake's body."

Yes it is glad someone got the reference.

Nora stole borrowed some of Weiss dust she was using in class for small experiments.

Weiss came looking for it and Nora panicked and buried it then promptly forgot about it.

A few months later and weird plants are growing around beacon. Like flowers that when you pick them let you throw fireballs.
