A few days after the news and reveal of the Vanguard and its allies, not much has really changed on Remnant. Most people thought the Guardians were going to rule over them but they realized that the Guardians were really just really really socially awkward and essentially huntsmen with space powers instead of semblances.

Right now Jaune and the other three were sitting around a table in the Dorm the Fireteam was provided with. Gerald was surrounded by a pile of books, Chan'cla was sleeping due to a caffeine crash, Jaune was reading "The Art of War" and Cayde was also sleeping.

The silence was interrupted by the door opening and Hunter Rose walking in.

Jaune: Hunter.

Cayde: Huh, wha... oh hey. *goes back to sleep*

Chan'cla: *still asleep*

Gerald: Greetings.

Rose: What you lot doing?

Jaune: Relaxing.

Rose: Cool. You know there's a bunch of children outside the door?

Jaune: Cayde?

Cayde: On it. *he throws his hunter's knife at the wall a scream and running away is heard*

Rose: Nice throw.

Jaune: What brings you here?

Rose: Just came to relax.

Jaune: Well you came to the right place.

Rose finds a corner and sits on the floor. She dematerializes her helmet and starts to inspect her hand-cannon "Rose".

Jaune: You have a thing for roses or what?

She looks up her one silver and one milky eye piercing through Jaune before she shrugs.

Rose: I don't know myself, I think they're pretty neat.

Jaune: You know you lok a lot like one of the students here.

Rose: That Ruby kid? Yeah I guess we do.

Jaune: Don't you find it weird how similar you two look?

Rose: Not really. I was first rezzed in the EDZ, so it's unlikely there's any correlation between us.

Jaune: Meh. Fair enough.

The group sit in silence for a few hours until a knock is heard on the door. Jaune goes to open it but it's burst open by an angry Yang. Jaune barely phased by the act just looks at the WWE goldilocks with anger problems.

Jaune: What now?

Yang: WHERE IS SHE?!

Jaune: Who?

Yang: You know who.

Jaune: Hunter Rose.

Rose pops out from a floorboard beneath Jaune.

Rose: Yeah?

Jaune: First off. What are you doing in the floorboards and secondly you can deal with her.

Rose: Oh, I was setting up a bedroll. Oh hi Blondie. What do you need me for?

Yang: Can you just come with me for a bit?

Rose: Why not?

She climbs out and leaves the room with Yang while Jaune stares at the floorboards.

Jaune: How did she even get under there without me noticing?

With Rose

Yang has taken Rose to Team RWBY'S dorm. Blake and Weiss were not in the room so now was a good time. They enter and Ruby stares at Rose.

Rose: Hey kid you gonna keep staring?

Ruby: Huh, oh sorry! It's just you look like my mom.

Rose: Ah, so that's why I was brought here.

Yang: Yeah, well are you summer Rose or not?

Rose: Possible but unlikely.

Ruby: Wait why?

Rose: I became a guardian back on Earth, so me being from here is possible but unlikely as I said.

Yang: But your silver eye, your hair, your name is Rose for petes sake!

Rose: Us guardians choose our names. Some having meaning others are just names. I call myself Rose cause I think they're neat. Their thorns hidden by the beauty of its flower. My Silver eye now that I can't explain.

Blake and Weiss enter the room and an uncomfortable silence falls across the room.

Ruby: So, what do you know about Jaune?

Rose: The old guy is a powerhouse I'll give him that.

Weiss: What do you mean "Old Guy"?

Rose: Right, he's been a Guardian for about 35 years. There are a few who are a lot older.

Blake: 35 years?

Rose: Yeah, he'd been a guardian for a few years before I joined up.

Yang: And what has he done?

Rose: Let's see: He punched a God, fought in the Red War, hated working on teams, became an Iron Lord, won the Crucible Championship a few times and a few more.

Yang: Wait he punched a God? You're joking right?

Rose: Nope, he has punched a lot of enemies over time. I once saw him beat a hive knight to death with a thrall.

Weiss: Sounds rather excessive.

Rose: Hahaha! No. Our enemies are stronger than your Grimm.

Meanwhile Jaune was now in the Beacon Gym punching a specialized punching bag designed for titans. He was in sweatpants and shirtless beating this punching bag until team CRDL walk in.

Cardin: So Jauney boy lives.

Jaune not looking away.

Jaune: And you're still a spineless cunt.

Cardin: How would your little "Vanguard" react if I told them about your papers?

Jaune: You honestly think I would be scared of your little threat B O I? You want to fight me? We can settle it in the boxing ring. Right here. Right now.

half an hour later

The gym is packed with students and guardians. The Guardians were all cheering for Jaune. A few even brought a coffin labelled Cardin. The students were mostly rooting for Cardin but a few were going for Jaune. Cayde enters the ring with a ref shirt over his normal get up.

Cayde: Alright buttercups! Listen up. This is good clean boxing, no cheating, dirty tricks, or foul play. In the left we have the Titan, the fist of havoc, the Iron Lord, the man himself Jaune!

Jaune slams his fists together as arc energy dances around his eyes as he grins.

Cayde: And in the other corner we have a brat, Cardin.

Cardin: Hey!

Cayde: Hey man don't get made at me. You haven't done much to earn a reputation. Anyway. 3! 2! 1! Fight!

Cardin rushes with a fist aimed for Jaune's face but he simply sidesteps Cardin. This happens a few times until Cardin gets angry and starts swinging wildly.

Meanwhile in the crowd Teams RWBY and JNPR were discussing the fight.

Ruby: Why is just dodging?

Yang: Just knock him out Cardin!

Weiss: Really siding with Cardin?

Blake: That's low even for you Xiao Long.

Nora: Break his legs!

Ren: Who are you rooting for?

Nora: No one I just want to see broken legs!

Pyrrha: What is he doing?

Jeane: Don't ask me. I barely know Jaune.

Chan'cla: Wow what a great sister you are.

Gerald: Explains him a lot now. You know.

Jeane: And you know him how?

Chan'cla: Well we're on the same Fireteam so there's that.

Gerald: You are all pieces of work you know that?

Ruby: Why?

Chan'cla: "Why?" She asks! Look you guys aren't painted exactly in a good light amongst the guardians.

Weiss: And why is that you bony...

Chan'cla: Oh we're going to start name calling? Well in that Red is now shorty, yellow is now anger issues, White's now Racist, bland, bitch and Black is now Smut.

Gerald: This is what we mean. You let your egos control you. You know you're not special Yeah?

Jeane: And you are?

Chan'cla: Did we ever say we were? If anyone here is special it's him. He still wanted to help people after all the shit you lot put him through.

The two leave and Jaune is still dodging Cardin's punches.

Cardin: Come on! Fight back Jauney boy show them how weak you really are!

Jaune: How weak I am? Very well. Thank you for flying Titan Airlines.

Jaune slams Cardin in the gut shattering his Aura and sends him flying a good 10 meters or 30 feet into the air. Cardin lands with a thud in the coffin. Some Guardians pick it up and start dancing.

The guardians cheer and leave as do the students. Jaune jumps out the ring and I'd approached by his Fireteam, Cayde and Rose who crawled out from a ceiling board.

Cayde: Good job kid.

Chan'cla: Should've messed him up more.

Gerald: Toying with him was funny.

Rose: The orange haired turd had it coming.

Jaune: I saw you climb the ceiling boards. But seriously thanks guys. Wanna get some Spicy ramen?

Everyone: Yes!

Meanwhile wither CME

Cinder: Argh! Those guardians are ruining our plans! Perhaps we can persuade them to join us.

Mercury: And how do you plan on doing that?

Cinder: We use Emerald here to create an illusion of that "Jaune" and make it convince them to side with us.

Meanwhile outside the Dorm a new Guardian was watching this.

Amber: I don't think so Bitch.
