The Arc Of Vacuo

The Arc moves to Shade

A/N: this story is based on the fanfiction: Jaune arc the student of shade academy. I did try not to use too many elements from this story but I did use only the plot of the first half of the fanfic.

I should also say that this story does have a few dark moments such as Rape, Abuse, killing, torture, and Selling one's body. So if you have problems with any of these things please do not continue reading. Thank you.

Jaune walked the steps of shade academy. It's been a month since he was kicked out of Beacon, his so-called friends betrayed him.

His family disowned him.

He was a pathetic Knight.

He cleared his mind and pushed aside those thoughts and he kept walking to the pyramid-like school. There, waiting by the door, he saw a girl with black hair and a purple dress, her hair was tied up in braid-like style in the back. He walked to where she was, praying that she would just leave him alone if she was here to threaten him or to at least be another new student lost, however, as soon as he walked to the steps, she stood in front of him and blocked his way

"are you Jaune Heahmund Arc?" She asked him

"yes" he replied

"Follow me to the headmistress office, she had wanted to meet you when you arrived," she told him

She began to walk and Jaune followed her, after a minute of walking Jaune looked at her "what's your name?" He asked her

"Gwen Darcy, I'm from Team NDGO'' she said with a smile

Jaune smiled back, "nice to meet you, Gwen, you already know my name and most likely why I'm here," he told her

She then looked at him with a puzzled look, "why would I know why you're here?" She asked him

Jaune then looked at her, and he could see the true and pure confusion on her face, he was about to tell her why, but then he realized that if he said anything about what happened in Vale, she might suddenly treat him harshly, "never mind" he said, "how far are we from the headmistress office?"

"not far, we just need to take the elevator," she told him and he nodded

Gwen looked at the boy, so far he didn't give off a bad vibe or act like most of the boys here and he hadn't even tried to flirt with her, which was sort of a plus since she didn't like getting hit on by random boys in his class, however, when she looked into the boy's eyes, she noticed that he looked...Tired. Like not in a sleepy way, but like he had just had enough of the world, she saw how he acted a little and she could tell that he seemed to be hiding something and Gwen could tell that I seemed to be like a great deal of pain.

Finally, after walking the large halls, they reached the elevator and Gwen pressed a button and the machine took them to their destination. The elevator stopped and the two got off, they walked only a couple of steps and they were in front of the office, Jaune walked in with Gwen following him, however, when they entered the office, Jaune saw that there were two teams in the room as well, one with three boys and one girl and one with three girls.

When Gwen saw this she looked at the three girl team, "what are you guys doing here?" She asked them

"Headmistress Shade called us here as well as them," said a blonde girl with what looked like a skirt and some fishnet sleeve and leggings

"So this is the new guy?" Said a dark-skinned boy from the other team with his hair in braids, he wore a green sleeveless vest with a black shirt underneath

"Yeah, I'm the new guy...The names Jaune Arc" Jaune replied sounding a little nervous

Just then, another dark-skinned kid walked up to Jaune and shook his hand, "it's good to see you Jaune" he said

"yeah...Good to see you to Brawnz" Jaune told him the same

Brawnz Ni, the leader of Team BRNZ, he and Jaune were old pen-pals, back in school. It was a.project that their schools had in place for a project.

"Brawnz, you gonna introduce us or what?" Said a girl with a red jacket and a beanie covering her left eye.

"oh right! Jaune this is my team, the girl with the beanie over her eye is May Zedong" he said pointing to the girl

"sup!" She smiled

"The guy with the saws on his wrist is Roy Stallion," Brawnz said and pointed to him

Roy just nodded with a smile to the Arc

"And the guy with the pink shades is Nolan Porfirio" he pointed at him

"Yo!" Nolan said with a smile

"Nice to meet you all" Jaune said with a small smile

Gwen then looked to Jaune with a bit of a smile as well, "Jaune I would also like you to meet my Team NDGO since it appears that their also here" Gwen said

Jaune looked over to her team

"the girl with the Trident is Dew Gayl," she said pointing at her

"Nice to meet you," Dew said with a smile

"The girl with the red hair is Octavia Ember," she said

"Nice to meet you!" She said with a smile and a wave and Jaune waved back

"and then there's-"

"I'm Nebula Violette" the purple-haired girl interrupted, "it's nice to meet you," she said holding out a hand to shake

"it's a pleasure to meet you as well," Jaune said as he shook Nebula's hand

"The pleasure's all mine handsome," Nebula said

'oh great...Another Yang' Jaune thought

Now that everyone was introduced, the doors opened once again and the room went quiet, a woman and walked in with dark purple hair and tan skin with light green eyes, this was Headmistress Lagertha Shade

"I see you've all now been introduced," she said and walked to her desk, "now the reason I have brought both teams BRNZ and NDGO here is that you'll be helping Mr. Arc here with his initiation here at Shade," she told them

"Ms. Shade? Why are we here to help? What's his test got to do with us?" Octavia asked

"Good question Ms. Ember, Mr. Arc here will be leading your two teams in the desert for ten days, and he will be the only leader, understood?"

That's when the room went silent, the team leaders were OK with this but their teammates were uneasy with it,

"ten days? Isn't that a little harsh Headmistress?" Nolan asked

"No, in fact, it's easy if you're careful. But here's the catch" she said and everyone listened to what she was going to say, "you have to find your way back" she told them

This brought more confused looks to all them all

"Now does everyone have their gear?" She asked them

everyone nodded,

"good because the test begins now" and with that, she exited the room.

"What does she mean by that?" May asked

Smoke then began filling the room and they began to cough, Brawnz and Nolan fell to the ground, followed by Octavia and Roy then May, Dew, Gwen, and finally, Jaune and Nebula fell unconscious...
