After being Fed up with the way the Kingdoms do things the people who wanted something better founded a little city that one day became the Federation.
A citizen and aspiring Helldiver named Jaune Arc was chosen amongst his fellow divers for a top s...
Jaune walked towards a crater no bigger than what their he grenades can make
To see a young little girl in the center of it
Ruby: *ugh* welcome to Beacon.
Jaune: a future Huntress shouldn't be laying on her butt on the first day.
Ruby looked up to see

Ruby was staring at him
Jaune: what loss for words?
Ruby: have we met before?
Jaune: I don't believe so.
Ruby thought he looked somehow like her father so she dismissed it
He gave her his hand
Jaune: come in this is no place to be lollygagging around.
Ruby: hey thanks for you know...
Jaune: just doing my job citizen.
He helps her up as the two take a walk and talk
Ruby spent the time venting on how her sis just left her behind
Jaune: all I'm saying is you need to learn to socialize Crater Face.
Ruby: hey! All I need for companionship is Crescent Rose!
Jaune: that's not healthy.
Ruby: what!? She's my baby!
Jaune: No Ruby. I lived alongside war veterans, those who refuse to socialize tend to end up in really bad shape.
Ruby felt something about that more on a Melancholy feeling coming from Jaune
Ruby: oh.....I'll try.
Jaune: that's the first step.
Ruby: oh! Speaking of Crescent Rose! Here she is!
She deploys it and shows her baby off
Jaune: a gardening tool?
Ruby: HEY!!! It's a scythe! But it's also a Gun!
Jaune: a high impact sniper rifle, impressive.
Ruby: so? What about yours?
Jaune just drops his duffle bag and pulls out a case where the contents was one
Ruby: whoa! An Anti-Material Rifle!? I was planning to do the same thing with Crescent Rose so she could be a cannon.
Jaune: but your arms wouldn't be able to handle it I suppose.
As he squishes Ruby's thin arms causing her to squeak swatting his hand away
Ruby: I'm not weak!
Jaune: I didn't say you are, just saying you can't fight through your weight class.
Ruby just pouts at him as the two made their way towards the auditorium
Ruby: sorry Jaune but there's my sister so I have to go!
She speeds away leaving the diver behind
Jaune: don't be a stranger now.
Jaune then just finds a secluded place to listen to the orientation and as the headmaster spoke Jaune took stock to what he said
After all that it was fairly normal for any Academy
Later that night everyone was getting comfortable trying to get some sleep and while others
Jaune shakes his head seeing the other 'boys' flexing to get some attention while he himself prepared for tomorrow as he disassembled his weapons and cleans the parts
Meanwhile a few inches later
Ruby: for the last time Yang I did make a friend and that's after exploded.
Yang: yeesh meltdown much?
Ruby: no I meant it literally exploded!
She noticed Jaune sitting in a corner and a lot of weapon parts all around him as he seems to be cleaning and reassembling his gear
Ruby: there's one of my friends now!
Yang looked to a young blonde cleaning and assembling his weapons
Yang: alright, why don't you introduce me to be sure.
Ruby: hey Jaune!
He looks up to them and gave them a wave
Ruby: see?
Yang was not convinced as she drags Ruby towards him
Yang: hey there handsome.
He looks up to see a Blonde girl who could be mistaken for one of his sisters
Jaune: yo.
Yang: my little sister here is shy and needs help making friends.
Jaune: you should let her be, she needs to learn that by herself like everyone else.
Ruby: see Yang, he gets it! Oh hi Jaune.
Jaune: sup.
She noticed his gun in pieces
Ruby: *gasp* Jaune! How could you tear your baby apart like that!?
Jaune: you need to know how to field strip Ruby.
Yang got a dirty thought with that word
Ruby: I can't bear to do that to Crescent Rose!
Jaune: Ruby, if something happens and your weapon jams, are you just gonna let it be?
Field Stripping saves lives, Over heated barrels, jammed magazines or clogged up mechanisms can kill a person.
Ruby thought about it and sure Uncle Qrow told her she needs to do that as well and sadly nods
Ruby: so what do you think about the initiation test tomorrow?
Jaune: nothing much, as the Academy want to keep it a surprise for the newcomers.
Yang: hey why don't you join our team, we could use a guy.
Jaune: we'll see.
???: can you keep it down some people are trying to sleep!
Ruby: AGH! It's happening again!
Weiss: ugh, you again! Can you keep yourself out of trouble for once! Blowing up my Dust isn't enough for you?
Yang: oh my oum, you did explode!
Ruby: well excuse me miss crabby! I didn't mean to blow you up!
Jaune: if you want to go to sleep maybe you should keep it down, your the one shouting here.
Weiss took a quick look at Jaune and decided to at least respect a diligent student seeing that he was preparing for tomorrow
Weiss: alright, excuse my outburst but please can you guys keep it down.
Ruby: *in a quiet voice* okay.
As the group was dispersing He noticed a familiar cat faunus that was reading in a corner that caught Jaune's eye
Jaune: ( what is a traitor doing here? Must be a spy for another attack.)
He keeps an eye on her as he wasn't ordered to take down targets
Jaune: ( if she does anything....)
She then blew out the candle signifying it's time to sleep as Jaune puts away his things and gets ready for the initiation
