Cut Concepts (The Fallen Huntsman#1)


This concept was created last year while writing for the Fallen Huntsman. I have many ideas in mind they're more so "Spur of the moment" type of ideas.

Now years later, this concept doesn't bode well with the direction I'm going with these stories. Don't get me wrong, It still follows the idea of Jaune returning to Remnant but how it was handled isn't very satisfactory to my taste of the story or narrative I'm going with.

It feels generic and you can see where I base the entire scene of this chapter form. So I decided not to use it for a future chapter in the Fallen Huntsman and it's just another cut content.

So anyway, enjoy.

_____________________________

~Location: Remnant, Sanus, Arcadia~

In the continent of Sanus, a huge village known as Arcadia, far in the south-west of Vale, there within the huge settlement a walled up mansion is seen.

The Arc Mansion and the village is under the management and matriarchy of the eldest sister, Athena Arc. She took charge to continue the Arc legacy and was next in line to take the mantle.

Athena and the other sisters, excluding Saphron, can agree on one thing and they share their disdain; it was all Jaune's fault.

But Saphron disagrees. Not much of a surprise since she and Jaune share a strong bond.

Their father banished Jaune from the village and disowned him from the Arc Family after discovering his actions in cheating Beacon with a fake transcript. But following the months after his disownment, they heard of his untimely demise and death.

The two parents are in denial, while they did disown their son it doesn't mean they want him dead. But to their horror, it was proven to be true when a severed arm was presented to them, Jaune's severed arm and followed by a Bloodied Crocea Mors.

Both the father and mother felt so much grief and guilt for what they have done, it causes pain in their hearts to hear about the death of their son. There's no one to blame but themselves, thus their stricken grief eventually resulted in their deaths.

This leaves the Eldest Daughter to take the mantle as the head of the family and continue the legacy of the Arcs. Unfortunately, the six sisters also share their anger and disdain towards Jaune, believing it was his fault for their parents' passing.

In the front yard of the Arc Mansion, two of the sisters are seen sparring with each other while the Matriarch of the Arc Family along with her four Sisters watch the spar.

Lucy, Jaune's third oldest sister, sent a horizontal slash with her great sword at Jane, Jaune's fourth oldest sister, who blocks the incoming strikes with her two blades before pushing her back as she complimented.

"Good! Watch your form!" Jane said before going on to the offensive and sent a flurry of slashes at her sister, who parries all the attack before backflipping away from her.

"Not bad. Needs work!" Lucy said, before charging at her went on the offensive.

"Straighten it out!"

Athena watch with a small smile plastered on her face as her sisters sparred.

Unbeknownst to her and everyone else, outside the walls of the Arc mansion, someone is approaching the gate while three Arc Knights stood guard in front of the gate. When someone approaches the Gate, the three Knights stood in his way and demand.

"Halt, who goes there?!" One of the Guards demanded.

When the figure became clear to vision there is no doubt their eyes are deceiving them. The sound of stomping metal on the pavement is heard.

"J-Jaune Arc?!" The Arc Knights exclaimed in shock seeing the Arc alive but they did take notice of his cybernetics.

But that's beside the point. The Matriarch of the Arc Family gave them orders that if there's a possibility that Jaune is still alive and returns home, he is not welcome here.

They have orders to follow so they warned him, "Halt! By the order of the Matriarch of the Arcs, you are not welcome here!"

Jaune didn't listen, his frown expressing his anger and disdain towards his own family who pushed him away for something like a transcript despite his good intentions. He continues to boldly march towards the gate while ignoring the guard's warnings.

"Halt!"

Jaune didn't falter and continued.

"I SAID HALT!" The Guard shouted before he and the others unsheathe their swords. They then made an aggressive charge at the disowned Son of the Arcs.

But the Guard wasn't able to reach him when all of sudden Jaune whips out his RG-4D Blaster Pistol and he quickly dispatches them. Their aura is no match against plasma base weaponry thus the Knights died on the spot.

The Gate then opens as Jaune then enters, his sudden arrival and entrance caught the attention of the Arc Sisters, including those who were sparing stopped and looks at the intruder who dares enter without permission.

But when they see who entered, they exclaim in shock, "Jaune?"

The Arc sisters have a look of surprise and shock to see their brother now back alive but this with a cybernetic arm, leg, and new attire.

That look of shock soon turned to disdain at the sight of the disowned Arc; the man responsible for their parents' death even though it wasn't his fault, to begin with.

As Jaune continues to walk up to them before addressing them, "Good Afternoon, sisters. Now we got the pleasantries out of the way..." He gestures to the gate, "...I humbly implore you to welcome me back to my house."

The girls were baffled by such a claim before glaring at him, Jane questioned, "Your house?"

"Yes, don't you see the Arc symbol..." Jaune said without a second thought.

Athena steps forward and interrogated, "What do you want Jaune?"

"What is rightfully mine..." Jaune responded, "Arcadia!"

Lucy objects, "Arcadia is under the Matriarchy of the Arc Family and we will protect it. Even from you, a disgrace of an Arc. You are not welcome here!"

"Father made it clear you're disowned from the family and banished from the village!" Jessie added.

Jaune chuckles at their statement, "It is unfortunate you feel that way since I heard mother and father died due to a broken heart when they heard of my so-called demise, but at the same time it is good you feel that way." He then gestures to the gate, "Otherwise I just brought them here for nothing."

*CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK* *CLANK*

A loud clanking footstep is heard from the gates. The Arc Sisters Look at the gate once more and this time came with a huge surprise, a small Battalion mix of B1-Series, B2-Series, and BX-Series march up from the entrance in column with three AATs following behind. The small army stops after entering the gate and they now stood there idle.

"What is with the robots?" Athena interrogated, getting a foreboding feeling from the sight of the Small Droid Army behind Jaune.

"Oh, them?" Jaune asked, taking a glance at the Droids before looking back at her and he grins, "It's a gift."

"A gift?" Lucy asked skeptically.

"It's your parting gift. In that, it'll part you." Jaune clarified, the sister grew even more suspicious by that statement, he continues and gestures to the place around him, "...part of you here, part of you there, and part of you waaaaaaaaaaay over there, STAINING THE WALL!"

They took this as a threat before Jane shouts angrily.

"You insolent fool!" Jane leaps at Jaune with her greatsword drawn but unfortunately for her Jaune was prepared for this.

He fired his prosthetic hand in grapple mode thus he grabs her by the neck, catching her off-guard, before he smashes her down to the ground, temporarily disorienting her.

Lucy and Jessie see their sister getting hurt and they soon jumped into the fray they too leaped at Jaune with their weapons on hand. The former Arc immediately retracts his hand from grapple mode before he ducks under his sister's attacks and grabs their legs and throws them to the ground before he leaped and fires a few blaster rounds with his wrist blaster.

The Blaster bolts hit their arms, disarming and injuring them. The two sisters are in shock that the blaster bolts pierce their aura like they are nothing, thus leaving them out of the fight.

Jaune lands on the ground before he whirls around and grabs Jane under the neck, who was trying to attack him from behind with her greatsword but was caught off-guard when Jaune grabbed her by the neck.

Without a second thought or no care, he activates his electrified servo in a highly lethal discharge thus releasing a very powerful shock of 40,000 volts. Jane lets a scream of agony as she was electrocuted to death and her body soon falls limp before Jaune tosses her lifeless body aside.

He then gave the three Arc Sisters, who still didn't join in the fray yet and are unaware of their sister's death as they believe she was just knocked unconscious, an intense glare. He pulls out his electro staff before he activates it and gets into a defensive stance.

Two of the sister made their initiative while the Matriarch stood and watch. Aria, the fourth oldest sister with her halberd, swings her weapon at Jaune but he was able to intercept and parries it away from him before he a parries a spear thrust from his fifth oldest sister, Trisha, before he kicks her back.

Jaune then spun around and aims his prosthetic arm letting out a repulsor blast at Aria, knocking her back and smashing into the statue behind her, the impact resulting in her being disoriented.

He spun around and parries Trisha's spear away from him before he thrust his electro-staff at her, the shock causes her to scream in pain before Jaune kicks her away before swinging his staff at her.

Athena, being a smart strategist and analyst like her brother, observes the way how Jaune fights. Being experienced fighters that are a match to her, she always observes how her opponent fights. From her observation, he fights with a mixture of offensive and defensive combos with his electro-staff and prosthetic arm, she exploits this as his weakness.

After Jaune dispatches his two sisters, he turned to Athena and fires a spray of blaster bolts at her.

Athena uses the shield to block the incoming blaster and charges at him and the two clash as both the Crocea Mors and Electrostaff clash. But Athena was able to gain the upper hand and attacks the prosthetic arm, causing Jaune to grunt in pain which is enough for her to knock the former Arc back.

Athena quickly disarms Jaune and shield bashes him, knocking him back as he skids across the ground but remains standing. He recovers and mutters, "...show-off."

"This is your final warning Jaune. You are no match against us Arcs, Huntsmen, and Huntresses." Athena claims with the Crocea Mors aimed at the Confederate General while her sisters, excluding Jane, stood by her side.

Jaune just smirks at his sister's claim, "I agree..." he then gestures towards the Droid Army, "...but they are."

He then activates his rocket boots and quickly flew back to the Droid Army behind him and stood by their sides. Jaune raised his hand and his Droids aimed at the Matriarch and her sisters.

Athena, and her sisters, widen their eyes in horror. Realizing what is about to happen and the foreboding fate that will take place. And before they have a chance to react or defend themselves, Jaune gave them no time or chance to fight back and he shouted out a command that forever sealed their fate.

"BLAST THEM!"

The Droids opened fire and the sisters met a very bloody end.

Blaster pierces their aura like they were butter, any form of defense was useless as they could defend themselves from multiple blaster bolts hitting them and tearing them apart.

The Arc sisters were killed off and Jaune, and possibly Saphron and Adrian are the remaining Arcs in the bloodline.

Arcadia was quickly conquered by Jaune's droid forces. The village itself didn't even fight back as they are extremely outnumbered.

Some Arcadians look at the idea of the Confederacy of Independent Systems occupying them with a positive outlook while many are worried about this new management; this is the disowned son of the Arc Family and here he is taking out the Arc Matriarchy and taking over the settlement by this unknown force that looks a lot advance than Atlas.

It will take time for the people of Arcadia to tolerate or possibly even accept their new rulers; not much they have a choice, to begin with. They are heavily outnumbered and outmatched. Any idea of rising against the Confederacy might end up being bloody if the takeover was anything to go by.

Should they resist or rebel, Jaune will make it clear there will be extreme consequences.

He will make it clear to them all.

Perhaps a demonstration would be precise?

This is the cut-content I planned to use before scrapping this idea entirely. I did this because it didn't fit the whole idea of Jaune being a good CIS Military officer.
