RWBY: Jaune Arc, The Guardian

Chapter 20- Setting out

Helix In! I'm back, and in this chapter, we'll be taking things forward with the story and now, let's get into it!

(3rd POV)

(Two weeks after the previous chapter)

After a long two weeks, General Schwert and Headmaster Brando or better known as 'DIO' have been able to trade certain supplies into Vacuo's market under the guise that they are products from the other three kingdoms. 

Within their outpost, they just finished up on a meeting between them as General Schwert closed the com-link between them. 

The General let out a small sigh as he decided to take a small nap as he placed his hat on his face. 

Then, all of a sudden, a loud beep was heard throughout the room as the General was immediately awake, his hat fell down though. 

"General, the 2nd Wave is now coming in, they'll be able to assist our operations when they arrive, over" An officer said to the General as he picked up his hat as he let out a sigh. 

"Acknowledged, over." Schwert said as he wore his hat as he walked out of the room, towards to the Portal room. 

(Timeskip by three minutes brought to you by Chibi Jaune shanking a voodoo doll of Weiss as Chibi Weiss felt immense pain in the distance.)

And as the portal gate, connecting both Remnant and Caldaris together stood strong, out came a company of soldiers, a few Knights of their respective Orders,  and some vehicles that were big enough to enter the gateway. 

And the one that stood in front was a commander as they stood in front of the General and saluted to one another. 

"Kommandant Hermann Fegelein of the 10th Prussian infantrie, reporting for duty, Mein Herr!" Commander Fegelien said to General Schwert as he nodded, Schwert knew of Fegelein's reputation and his actions, particularly against one certain general. 

"A pleasure to meet you, Kommandant, please, come with me, we have much to brief you and your men on."  The General said to the Commander as the both of them began to make small talk on the mission. 

Then, a Female Knight-Captain or simply known as Dames approached both Knight-Captain Richter and Hartmann. 

"Knight-Captain Scarlet of the Burning Phoenix Order. At your service." The Knightess said to us as she curtsied to both Knight-Captains as bowed in respect. 

"A pleasure, Knightess." Von Richter started off, being polite to the Knightess as her hand was on her sword. 

"Same with you, Blades, but time is off the essence, we'll need to discuss things." Scarlet said as she directed her Knights to as she led them alongside the representatives of the Blades. 

'Lunarites and Solarites Orders doing a joint-operation, those never end well.' Erwin grimaced, knowing the bad blood between both religions and species still exists today.

And if Jaune could pick which one was better, he'd say anyone that isn't the Brother Gods of Remnant.

And speaking of the knight, he watched as Knight-Captains Von Richter and Von Hartmann led the Burning Pheonix Order, a Solarite-affiliated Order. they often specialized in melee combat, making them good for dealing with bandits and beasts that roamed Caldaris. 

Then as both Jaune and Scarlets' paths' crossed, she stopped to turn to him. 

"You're John Arc? The famous Watchmaster of the Blades?" Scarlet asked him as Jaune turned around to face the woman. 

Jaune nodded, acknowledging his status within the Knights as some kind Pyrrha Nikos rip off.

'I guess this what it's like to be in the shoes of Pyrrha.' Jaune thought to myself as he chuckled to his reference. 

"I am, pleased to meet you." Jaune said to her, being polite and all. 

"You have gained quite a reputation for yourself, Mr. Arc, and a young Vampire such as yourself, I'm impressed." Scarlet said to me as he nodded to her. 

"Thank you, I do my best." Jaune humbly said to her as a stoic face was all he got from her. 

"I do hope that you can uphold your reputation and your prowess in battle, but do steer clear from my Knights, they aren't comfortable with Lunarites, but they should be able to tolerate you guys." Scarlet said as she and her Knights walked passed the Blades as one of the newcomers shoulder-checked Jaune as he heard a snicker, likely from them. Naturally, his eyes began to glow a bit due to that. 

"Leave them be, Watchmaster. They're Humans, they still have bad blood with us, even after all this time."  Erwin said to Jaune as he nodded.

"Still doesn't make it better that one of them shoulder-checked you, Watchmaster. You can't take it lying down without hitting back first." Von Richter said to Jaune as he was a bit confused. 

"Uhm, thanks Richter, I guess."  Jaune awkwardly said to Von Richter as he chuckled. 

"What do you mean 'I guess?' I gave you advice and that's all you have to say, Arc?" Richter said, teasing Jaune as Richter had a stifled laugh writhing inside of him. 

They then laughed a bit and as they did so, a cadre of Knights came out, this time, ones affiliated with the Blades of the Moon and extra munitions for their weapons. 

And as they all saluted the Knight-Captains as they proceed to where the Burning Phoenix Order came from. 

Then, a female Knight came into view as Jaune got excited as his eyes turned back to blue.
