Before I start a quick shout out to SantaSkull for all of his nice compliments as well as Danceman and Agent_North555.

The group had made it back to Beacon with little resistance and were now on there way to tell Ozpin about the success.

"It's nice to see that you all returned unharmed." Ozpin stated as the teams walked into his office.

"Thanks sir, but it's mostly because of these two teams that it was so easy to accomplish." Coco replied with a smile.

"Good to know, now that brings us to some other important news that needs attending to. The Grimm that are far south of Vale seem to be rallying so it will be important that we all start preparing for them to move toward Vale soon." Ozpin explained with a stern voice that struck a little bit of fear in the group.

"Are you sending us out again to try and remove the threat?" Weiss asked quietly and looked at him.

"No, we will actually be getting all the hunters and huntresses of Vale to report back here and get ready for a lockdown of the city to prepare for any assault." Ozpin replied as he folded his hands together.

"Ok sir, are we dismissed?" Jaune asked awkwardly to the headmaster.

"Yes all of you are dismissed except you Mr.Arc, we need to have a little chat." Ozpin answered and waved for the rest of them to leave.

"Um...what did you need to talk to me about sir?" Jaune asked shortly after the others left.

"It is about your past Mr.Arc, after you have arrived back from your disappearance things have seemed to grow worse with the Grimm and the local crime. Now I know that you have nothing to do with it but it does seem odd that Roman Torchwick resurfaced after you arrived back in Vale. So I would like to ask you if you had any involvement with Roman or any if his group of thugs?" Ozpin questioned as he got up to look out of the window of his office, looking over Beacon academy and the city of Vale.

"No sir I've never had any dealings with Roman, I don't know what gave you that idea." Jaune answered calmly, wondering if he knew anything.

"Nothing gave me any idea Mr.Arc, you may leave now." Ozpin replied ominously as Jaune left the office and went to go find Roman.

Ozpin then walked back to his desk and called Mrs.Goodwitch to the office.

"Yes sir what do you need?" Glynda asked as she walked in a few minutes after the call.

"I need you to prepare the students for any massive upcoming Grimm attack on Vale, cancel all other classes other than Combat classes, Strategic courses, and team exercises. Also I need you to call Qrow up for me and arrange a meeting with him." Ozpin ordered and Glynda left immediately, leaving Ozpin to stare out the window.

Back with Jaune

'Do you think he knows anything?' Jaune asked his ghostly companion.

'I don't know kid but be careful.' Tukson warned as Jaune got on an airship down to Vale to meet Roman.

Jaune eventually made it to the docks and met with one of Junior's henchmen who brought him to Roman's new base of operations below Tukson's old bookstore.

'Huh can't believe that Roman bought your old store and turned it into a hideout.' Jaune mentioned to Tukson as he was led into an underground bunker.

'Yeah it surprises me a little to.' Tukson replied as Jaune entered a room where he found Roman sitting in at a large desk lighting a cigar.

"So kid nice to see your back from your little vacation with Red and all her little friends." Roman said happily as he tapped a few ashes of the lit cigar.

"Look there is no need to bring any of them up in this conversation, I know the job already I just need the location and it'll be done." Jaune practically growled at the man who continued to sit comfortably in his chair.

"Awww your no fun you know that, just lighten up. How about after you do this job for me I won't bother you unless it is something vitally important." Roman said childishly as he looked at the young hunter in training.

"Fine that's agreeable, now where is this dust supply you told me about?" Jaune asked hoping that this would be the last thing he would ever do for Roman.

"Well actually I'm going to send Neo with you as back up and to show you the location if you don't mind." Roman answered as Neo entered the room.

"Actually I do..." Jaune was about to argue only for Roman to cut him off.

"Perfect, I hope you two have fun and don't worry it shouldn't take long." Roman said nonchalantly as Jaune was pulled away by his arm by Neo.

Jaune was brought back upstairs into the book store and finally pulled himself free from Neo.

"Ok your going to tell me what that kiss was about when you tracked me down right now!" Jaune demanded angrily as he glared at the girl.

Neo then just seemed to giggle with a small smile across her face as she turned around and walked off to lead Jaune to the location of the dust supply.

'Look kid don't get so bent out of shape about it, after this job you'll probably never see her again.' Tukson mentioned to try and calm him down.

'I guess your right but I still don't like it.' Jaune added as he continued to follow her.

'Well then suck it up.' Tukson said in a slightly annoyed tone.

A few hours later

The two were now on the southern outskirts of Vale and were walking into a marsh that was full of dead trees and other dying plant life.

"Well isn't this place just peachy." Jaune commented sarcastically as he stepped right into a mud pit that covered his shoes.

The two then continued to venture through the swamp with Jaune continuing to get filthier from the area while Neo somehow managed to stay completely clean.

"Hey are we almost there?" Jaune asked, slightly annoyed by all the dirt and mud covering his cloths.

Neo then stopped and pointed toward a group of Beowolves being led by one covered with bone armor and seemed to have a split jaw.

"Good now all we have to do is be careful and maybe we can sneak up on a few of them." Jaune said only to notice that she was already gone.

'You have got to be kidding me.' Jaune thought to himself after he noticed Neo had disappeared.

'Whatever kid we still have a job to do.' Tukson reminded him.

Jaune then pulled out his bow and readied a fire arrow. Then he released the arrow and sent it flying toward the leader of the pack only for it to be caught by the mutant Beowolf who then looked in Jaune's direction with a murderous glare.

"Aw shit." Jaune said to himself as soon as the Beowolf saw him.

The Beowolf then opened it's jaw and spread it's lower jaw in two as it let out a tremendous howl that sent a blast of air at Jaune who only managed to roll out if the way as it flew over him. As Jaune got back up he saw that several of the minor Beowolves were charging him so he dropped his bow and withdrew his sword and got ready for them to rush at him. As the first few got close Jaune would easily slice through them but eventually they had started to close in on Jaune forcing him to dodge several attacks as they continued their onslaught. Jaune continued to parry and dodge the attacks and even managed to kill a few more but soon he would be overwhelmed if he was not careful.

'Tukson a little help?' Jaune asked as he dodged another swipe from a Beowolf.

'Sure kid.' Tukson replied as he started to send some of his aura into Jaune.

Now with the added boost Jaune started to slice through the Grimm again either with his sword or with the claws that were an effect from Tukson's aura. Jaune had eventually managed to kill all the Beowolves except the mutated one who was just standing on the sidelines watching the battle. Now the whole pack of Beowolves were turned into black dust and absorbed by the Beowolf causing his bone armor to become sleeker with several red lines going over that eventually met at the eyeholes of a strange bone helmet that was made.

After it's transformation it had charged at Jaune with speed similar to Ruby's and slashed at his chest and made a large scratch in Jaune's chest plate as he fell backward from shock. Jaune then rolled backward to avoid being skewered as the Grimm brought his claw down on him.

'Any ideas?' Jaune asked Tukson as he started to panic while he tried to dodge several more attacks from the Beowolf.

'Try to get in close I think I have something.' Tukson replied.

Jaune decided to take the advice and attempted to retaliate against it only to have his blade be caught between the Grimm's claws. The Grimm then just seemed to stop and stare at Jaune as it held the sword as if it was starring right into his soul. But right as soon as it seemed like it was going to finish it a glowing arm made of green aura came out of Jaune's shoulder and pierced the Grimm's chest.

"What the hell?" Jaune said to himself as the Grimm fell back and green figure stepped out of Jaune.

The figure then turned around and was revealed to be Tukson who had made a ghost form of himself to attack the Grimm.

'Hey kid good job looks like we got him.' Tukson complimented only for a claw to stab at his ghost form.

'Ha like that's going to wor..' Tukson mocked only to start screaming in pain as he started to turn into a mass of dark purple aura that seemed to seep into the Grimm's wound like a liquid as it traveled up the it's claw.

The Tukson ghost then slowly started to dissipate as it turned into more of the dark aura that was quickly absorbed. The Grimm then slowly got back up and it's eyes turned black as it stared at Jaune once again.

"Let the hunt begin." Jaune heard a deep,dark, and disturbing voice say as the Grimm began to slowly turn into black dust that was carried away by the wind.

"What just happened?" Jaune asked himself as he stood frozen in fear of what was going to happen now.

Jaune then shook it off and tried to get a response from Tukson only to hear no reply.

"He must be gone." Jaune said to himself sadly as he slowly walked over to pick up his bow and find the abandoned dust supply.

Jaune eventually found a small abandoned mine that seemed to be loaded with dust crystals but then he heard a noise and turned around only to see Neo sitting on a rock twirling a small medallion on her finger.

"Where were you!" Jaune shouted as he looked at her with rage and snatched the medallion from her, seeing that it had the Arc family crest engraved with silver on a blue gemstone.

But even though Jaune thought he heard her almost speak up he ignored it as he stared at his lost family heirloom.

'I wonder... Hey is anyone there!' Jaune called out and suddenly heard a reply as a grey ghost appeared who was wearing an old set of armor.

'Huh who are you young one?' It seemed to ask as it looked at Jaune and seemed to go wide eyed as it saw Jaune's sword, Corcea Mors.
