The Forest

After a long day with tests and other stuff in Beacon Academy, we were sent to our dorms to rest to tomorrows field trip, Pyrrha Nikos looks out the window sadly for some reason as Lie Ren loads StormFlower and Nora Valkyrie is jumping on her bed bored.

Nora looks at me, Have you guys noticed how Jaune is acting?"

"He's been weird lately, I bet is Cardin, I would help Jaune but he needs to grow some balls," I said while looking at the book selection I had to read today.

Ren sighs and said, "He's become rather scarce since he started fraternizing with Cardin, I don't why he would do such a thing."

'I don't know either, Ozpin already knows about his fake papers, so what is Cardin using to blackmail him?' I thought.

Nora hummed at that for a second and said, "That's weird... Doesn't he know we have a field trip tomorrow? We need our rest!" she proclaims this while twirling in midair.

Pyrrha angrily, "If he doesn't ask me for help soon I will go and break Cardin without his approval, he is our friend and he should rely on us."

Nora, Ren and I exchange glances.

Nora looks at Pyrrha, "Mmmm... I guess so, but if he doesn't ask we can force him, otherwise, we might do more damage, he knows NORA LOVES VIOLENCE, ALL HE NEEDS TO DO IS ASK BABY!."

"Let's sleep, for now, we need our rest, tomorrow we'll see what can we do for Jaune," I said getting on my bed while thinking what in the hell did Pyrrha saw in Jaune to care that much, he wants to be a warrior but never tried hard enough, he wants the rewards without sacrifice, while I don't hate him, I sure dislike the way he approach thinks.

Next morning we wake up and go straight to the room our professor told us to wait for Glynda that would be leading teams RWBY, JNPR, CRDL, and the teamless Jaune through the forest and avoid any of us to die.

Glynda to everyone seeing that the eighty percent of the class was in awe with the beauty of the forest, "Yes, students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sight-see. Professor Peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so."

'This place is indeed beautiful, if remember correctly Jaune will make a choice today,' I thought.

The group stops, and Jaune, grunting and carrying a large case with six empty glass jars on top, tries to catch up with them and ends up bumping into Cardin. The bully scowls at Jaune, who attempts to feign innocence by whistling tunelessly.

'God damn it Jaune grow some balls,' I thought, watching the pathetic show.

Glynda still instructing her group, holding up a full jar of their objective, "Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here at 4 o'clock. Have fun!"

While Yang Xiao Long and her sister smile at one another, Jaune attempts to noisily sneak away from Cardin to his team, but the blackmailer sees this and grabs Jaune by the back.

Cardin notices Jaune and grabs him, "Come on, buddy - let's go!"

Jaune miserably looks at us, where Nora and Ren are already walking into the forest's depths and Pyrrha is staring sadly at the scene, Jaune looks at me for a moment and I give him a look saying, stand up for yourself moron. Dropping his gaze at my look, Jaune turns and follows CRDL, to the disappointment of a sighing Pyrrha.

"He will come up to you eventually, just wait," I said patting Pyrrha back.

"Yeah I suppose, let's go we have an assignment to do," Pyrrha said smiling sadly.

"Wait for me!" Weiss said coming out of nowhere, "Hi Jack how are you doing?"

"Good princess good," I said smiling.

Now perched on a hilltop overlooking the other students, team CRDL, plus Jaune, squeezed between Cardin and Russel Thrush - peak their heads over the crest and watch as everyone is retrieving their samples of sap, they think I haven't noticed them, but I smelled them a long time ago, Weiss and Pyrrha were talking, gotta love my Faunus heritage cause I was able to hear what they were talking on the hill.

Jaune said in a somewhat uncomfortable tone, "Cardin, wh-what's going on?"

Cardin still staring at us, specifically Pyrrha "Payback."

Jaune said, "Pyrrha...? Wh-what are you-?"

Cardin pounds his fist on the ground, "That's the girl. Red-haired know-it-all thinks she's so smart. Alright, boys...Last night, old Jaune here managed to round up an entire box of Rapier Wasps, and now, we're gonna put him to work."

"Guys I don't think..." Jaune tried to say getting ignored.

'Come on grow some balls, stand your ground just once and I'll help you.' I thought, hearing them.

Cardin: "Now, according to one of the essays you wrote for me last week, these nasty things loooove sweets I'm thinking it's time we teach her a thing or two."

The members of CRDL get up. Cardin offers his hand to Jaune, only to painfully yank him up on his feet and shove the jar into his grasp.

Cardin said, "And you're gonna do it."

Jaune said, "Do what?"

Cardin said with a small laugh, "Hit her with the sap! Either that, or I'll tell everybody that you lied on your papers."

Jaune looks down at the jar of sap in his hands and then up at the four grinning teammates waiting to see what happens. Jaune turns towards the group and aims his throw at an oblivious and smiling Pyrrha, trying to steel his nerves and shaking hand to do the deed, but ultimately steels himself for what he's about to do.

'Come on, show them you might be weak, but you have some dignity!' I thought.

Jaune said fucking finally growing some balls, "No."

Cardin said clearly upset "What did you say?"

Jaune gripping the jar tightly, "I said... NO!"

I heard Jaune turn around and throw the jar at Cardin, instantly recoiling his hands to himself as he looks at Cardin's breastplate covered in sap. The other team leader, however, just looks at himself and laughs darkly.

Cardin approaches Jaune."Oh, you've done it now..."

"Pyrrha, Jaune is on need of rescue, two hundred meters top right, Cardin is beating him up," I said to which Pyrrha didn't even say anything, she just rushed to save his prince.

'I gotta see this,' I thought, chasing after Pyrrha.

☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

Cardin approaches Jaune as he picks him up, Jaune was bruised up, and bleeding, "You know that wasn't very smart, Jauney boy, I'm gonna make sure they send you back to mommy in teeny tiny pieces."

"STOP RIGHT THERE COWARDS," Pyrrha shouts arriving at the scene.

"Oh look at that, the shining knight is coming to rescue the lame bitch," Cardin laughs as he spits on Jaune.

I arrive on a second later, and before I get the chance to say anything an Ursa appears.

Jaune immediately stands up and looks at the Ursa that is about to attack Cardin.

"Jaune, deal with the Ursa," I said looking at Jaune, "You wanna show you are worth it, then stop pitying yourself and do something!"

Jaune looks at me and turns to look at the Ursa with determination.

"As for you four, I will beat the crap out of you, threatening to damage one of my teammates, is unacceptable, come on Cardin show me how much of a bitch you are," I said getting closer to them.

Cardin lunged forward in a blind rage, quickly sprinting towards me and coming closer, then jabbing out his hammer trying to smash me, but he was super slow so I ducked forward, punching him in the guts. Cardin teammates noticed this and when to help him and only to get knocked up with a single punch each, breaking their Auras with ease, Cardin stands up and tries to hammer me down again, this time I stop his hammer with my hand, and doing a swift motion I redirect the hit-making Cardin lose his balance and slamming him on the ground bouncing like a ball to a tree, He stands up once more and sprinted at me again, but this time I just raised my glaive and using the non-sharp end of my weapon I and broke his nose with a hit so hard that broke his aura in a rumbling echo through the forest, taking a step forward I grab Cardin by the neck and I started to repeatedly punch him in the face, blood splattering everywhere.

"You had this coming, racist bastard," I said readying a punch at full strength to the already beaten Cardin.

"STOP!" Pyrrha grabs my arm stopping me from making a huge mistake by killing Cardin.

I snap out my the trance of rage and hate, and look at her, "Sorry I let my anger guide me,"

Cardin is on the floor trembling, with a broken nose and a broken spirit, during the time I took to beat Cardin, Jaune managed to beat the Ursa with Pyrrha's help, of course, he didn't know anything about it, Pyrrha wanted him to have some self-love and thought this would be the best way to do it.

I see Ruby and Weiss looking at me with emotions and expressions I can't quite read, maybe they are scared of me, or questioning if I'm sane.
