AJ: Ah, this is a personal favourite of mine.
Glynda: Why?
AJ: Just watch.

Jaune was seen leaving a cabin while RWBY, Nora, Ren, and Qrow waited for him. Ruby and Nora snapped their heads up hearing Jaune and sped towards him giving him a hug.

Pyrrha: Where am I?
AJ: Just watch.

Ruby: Good to see you back on your feet, Jaune. Ready to get this show on the road?
Nora: I knew Fearless Leader would be fine!
Jaune hugged them back; smiling as he did so and replied.
Jaune: Yeah. Let's ge-.
Qrow: Wait a sec, kid

Yang: Oh, that can't be good.
Blake: Why?
Yang: He's using his serious voice.

Everyone turned to Qrow looking confused.
Qrow: This is gonna sound harsh but I'm not convinced we should keep you around.

Nora: HOW DARE HE!?
Ren: Calm down a bit.

Ruby dropped the hug to fully face Qrow.
Ruby: What?! Why!?
Qrow: Look squirt. I'll be the first to admit that Jaune has been catching up to you kiddos but that coma he was in for, what half a year? Has widened that gap between you guys.
Nora and Yang seemed to get increasingly angry at Qrow downplaying Jaune.
Nora & Yang: But that wasn't his fault!

Qrow: OK, that I agree with even if the coma wasn't his fault he still fell into a coma and everyone's gained more experience while he was gone.

Qrow turned his head to Yang and Nora acknowledging their point.
Qrow: I know that's why I'm going to  test him.
Qrow turned back to Jaune who seemed slightly grim.
Qrow: Show me your resolve.
Jaune just seemed confused.
Jaune: What do you want me to do?
Qrow activating his aura said,
Qrow: Attack me as if I was responsible for Pyrrha. If your attack is too weak. I'll replace you with another huntsmen.

Ozpin: Sounding quite militaristic there Qrow.
Qrow: Not me.

Weiss, Blake and even Ren looked at Qrow in anger.
Weiss: You can't use Pyrrha's death like that!.

Pyrrha: I'M WHAT!?
AJ: Dead.
Nora: HOW!?
Ruby: WHEN!?
Pyrrha: WHY!?
AJ: WATCH.

Qrow grimly replied, eyes not leaving Jaune.
Qrow: I need to see if he's ready for this.
Jaune stared at Qrow with a dark look on his face.
Jaune: You want me to attack you for real?
Qrow grew incensed at this and yelled.
Qrow: Don't insult me! If you hold back in the slightest, you're off the team!
Jaune simply nodded
Jaune: Got it.
Jaune seemed to stare into nothingness as memories of Pyrrha's passing played in his mind. Flashes of the events playing on loop. The kiss, the locker, the desperate climb, and the arrow. All culminating at the point at which he saw Pyrrha turn to ash in front of his eyes.

Pyrrha felt conflicted as she saw that she overcomes her shyness and made the first move on Jaune but she launched him away only to die afterwards.

Qrow seemed disappointed for a sec and turned away from Jaune.
Qrow: It seems you don'-
The surrounding animals all went dead silent as the temperature seemed to drop 15° and a overwhelming pressure seemed to close in on Qrow.

Tyrian: Oh ho ho! Is that bloodlust I see!~

Qrow snapped back around to look at Jaune only to see his eyes change to this horrible black. So black it seemed to drink in the light causing a shadow to form around them.

Jaune drew his blade and seemed to begin filling it with his aura while breathing heavily. As he continued pumping aura into his blade, the wind appeared due to whatever Jaune was doing.

As his blade flashed brighter and brighter the wind kicked up more and more and started peeling the roof off the cabin. Qrow had to take a step back from the wind and pressure Jaune was extruding.

Qrow looked nervous for himself.
Qrow: I'm pretty sure that's a fatal blow if that lands.

The ground underneath Jaune cracked as his blade flashed more and more rapidly. He began to gnash his teeth and was about to lose himself. Ren appeared behind him and simply but his hand on his shoulder calming Jaune down.

Nora: Renny to the rescue!

Ren: Jaune...that's enough...
Jaune snapped out of it seeing Qrow looking unsettled and the rest of his friends appearing frightened.
Jaune: I lost myself again didn't I.
Ren: I'm afraid so.
Jaune simply looked away staring into the sky mournfully.
Jaune: Damn it...
