The Offer & New Friend

Start from the beginning
                                        

"But-but, I lied my way into Beacon, to my friends, and I'm incredibly weak compared to them", Jaune said. He may not have much confidence in himself, but he knew that there were people who are better than him at many other stuff.

THE WORD WEAK IS NOT THE PROPER WORD I'D USE TO DESCRIBE YOU, SINCE YOU HAVE MANY POSITIVE QUALITIES THAT YOUR FRIENDS DON'T SHARE.

"Such as?", Jaune asked, trying to humor the creature since he didn't BELIVE he had much going for him.

FOR STARTERS, WHAT ARE YOU FEELING RIGHT NOW, ABOUT EVERYTHING?

"Guilt", Jaune said, his head down, his answer easy to answer since that's all he ever feels now when walking around the school or hanging out with his friends.

EXACTLY, NOT MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS ARE SO OPEN TO SAY THAT, THEY JUST HIDE IT INSIDE. A FEW DON'T EVEN HOLD GUILT OVER WHAT THEY DID, LIKE WITH YANG WHEN SHE TRASHED A NIGHT CLUB FOR INFORMATION. BLAKE EVEN HAS HER OWN SECRETS, BUT PUTS IT OFF AS BAD LUCK AND DOESN'T WANT TO BE CLOSE BECAUSE OF HER FEARS.

"What, like how she's a Faunus?", Jaune asked, referring to the ninja's hidden secret, mainly what was underneath her bow. Having grown up around Faunus his whole life, he can easily spot someone who's a Faunus, hidden or not.

(Amazing how he notices that, but not Pyrrha's crush on him.)
AMONG OTHER THINGS JAUNE, BUT THAT ALSO BRINGS ANOTHER POINT, WHERE YOU'RE NOT SCARED TO STATE WHAT YOUR FEELINGS ARE. YOUR INTENTIONS, WHILE BIZARRE AND CHEATING TO SOME, YOU DID IT FOR YOUR DREAM. YOU WANT TO HELP PEOPLE, THAT'S ALL, YET YOU DON'T ASK FOR ANYTHING IN RETURN. ALL YOU DESIRE, IS A CHANCE.

Jaune stared into the green and yellow eyes of the creature who stood back at it's full height and saw something he never saw anyone else have except for Pyrrha.

Belief, belief in him...

"You... you really want to help me?", Jaune needed to ask, his entire life he just needed to hear someone, anyone say that they indeed believe in him. This unknown creature said he knew about his whole life and all that he believed in, something that Pyrrha has yet to hear. He had doubts that she'll be as understanding as this guy, but he can hope too, if he returns to Beacon. All the creature did was place it's large clawed hand on Jaune's shoulder and stared straight into the knight's eyes.

I DO JAUNE, AND I BELIVE YOU CAN BE SOMEONE PEOPLE CAN COUNT ON AND SAVE THOSE WHO CAN'T SAVE THEMSELVES.

Jaune didn't know how or when, but he started hugging the creature with all his strength, the creature slightly stumbling back in mild surprise. Getting comfortable, the creature hugged back, patting Jaune's back as the teen slightly cried tears of joy.

5 Minutes Later:

After the crying, both Jaune and the creature took seats on the ground or a large rock, "Thanks, I just needed to hear that", Jaune said, whipping his eyes.

NO PROBLEM JAUNE, NOW, ARE YOU READY TO HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER?

"Yes, I'm ready", Jaune said, a new fire in his eyes, making the creature give a ghost of a smile to the teen.

ALRIGHT, SEE, IN ANOTHER WORLD, DIFFERENT FROM YOUR OWN, THERE'S ANOTHER LIKE YOU. ONE THAT HAS THE SAME SELFLESS IDEALS, BUT IS GIVEN FEW CHANCES TO PROVE HERSELF. MY GOAL IS TO SEND YOU THERE TO HELP HER AND HER JOURNEY TO BECOME A GREAT HERO.

Jaune was shocked that this being wants him to go to another world and help someone like him, which alone had its own set of questions. But the main one was what'll happen to his friends here, his whole life here, "But what about everyone here, will I ever see them again if I go?", he asked.

OF COURSE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIVE THERE FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS, I WILL BRING YOU BACK HERE FOR SMALL MOMENTS. BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WILL BECOME APPARENT WHEN YOU GO TO THE OTHER WOLRD.

Jaune sighed in relief hearing that he'll at least be allowed to return home, "Alright, what is it?", Jaune asked, referring to the one thing that'll happen when he's there.

YOU WILL BE DE-AGED 3 YEARS YOUNGER WHERE YOU'LL HELP THIS ONE OUT SINCE HER LIFE WAS NEVER EASY. THIS WILL ALSO HELP YOU GET BETTER SITUATED WITH THE WORLD SINCE IT HAS MANY MORE STRUGGLES THAN HERE. BUT WHEN YOU COME BACK HERE, YOU'LL BE BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL AGE, UNAFFECTED BY WHAT MAY HAVE TRANSPIRED IN THE OTHER WOLRD.

As he explained that, he pressed the small bracelet on his wrist, pulling up a small picture of a girl around Ruby's age. She had long, emerald hair, freckled cheeks, and a modern build like Ruby's, just slightly taller.

Jaune observed the picture carefully, "Is this the one I'm going to help?", he asked, getting a nod as an answer

Jaune observed the picture carefully, "Is this the one I'm going to help?", he asked, getting a nod as an answer. "What's her name?", Jaune asked.

IZUMI MIDORIYA, SHE HAS BIG DREAMS OF BECOMING A GREAT HEROINE, BUT TAHT'LL BE EXPLAINED ONCE YOU'RE THERE. AS SUCH, TO HELP YOU WHEN YOU ARE THERE, I AM GIVING YOU THIS.

The creature explained, pulling off his blue/green bracelet and handing it to Jaune, shrinking in size to fit his smaller wrist. Jaune put it on and waved it around, seeing that it had little to no weight to it at all, "What'll this do?", he asked.

IT'S LIKE AN ADVANCED FORM OF THE INTERNET, JUST ASK IT A QUESTION AND IT'LL ANSWER TO YOUR PREFERENCE. THOUGH DON'T BE EXPECTING IT TO GIVE YOU ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS, IT HAS A LOCK TO PREVENT THAT.

Jaune moaned sadly at that, 'Well, there goes an easier time at school', he thought in mild despair since it won't do much. "Alright, well, is there anything else I should know before I go?", he asked, standing up and cracking his back.

FOR STARTERS, YOU WILL HAVE YOUR SEMBLANCE UNLOCKED, AS WELL AS ANOTHER POWER TO FURTHER HELP YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY.

Jaune was surprised yet again hearing that his Semblance will be revealed, and that he'll have another power! "AWESOME, when do I get them?!", Jaune asked, sounding like a kid in a candy store, bouncing on the heels of his feet.

RELAX JAUNE, YOU'LL RECEIVE THEM BOTH ONCE YOU CROSS INTO THE OTHER WOLRD. WHICH WILL OCCURE PER YOUR REQUEST.

Jaune was thinking over the entire deal in his mind with both pro's and cons, seeing more pro's and hardly any cons. He would be stronger, help people, get more power, and he may be the first person to travel to other worlds!?

(Heh, he wishes.)

"I can go now, but how big of time difference will there be for the other world and this one?", Jaune asked. Even if he was gonna travel to a whole new world, he needed to know that time won't be as fast as the other.

BARELY COMPARABLE, SINCE A YEAR THERE WILL BE LIKE A WEEK AT BEST HERE, WHERE YOUR ABSENSE WILL BE EXPLAINED, SO DON'T WORRY.

Jaune nodded as he mentally prepared himself for the travel, but there was just one more thing he just had to know. "By the way, I don't think you introduced yourself yet, you have a name?", Jaune asked, the creature smiling.

MY NAME IS SPIKE, AND GOOD LUCK JAUNE ARC

With his hand placed on Jaune's head, the knight's form glowed as the light blinded the entire forest. As such, the journey for Jaune begins as both the Hero of Japan, and the Hunter of Remnant.

A/N: Next chapter will be Jaune meeting Izumi, who, among many others, will be gender-bent, so look forward to that.
