After speaking to the survivors of the Kaiju attack, Marrow bumped into some old friends he knew from Atlas Academy while Zuko went to go meditate. This left Jaune alone.

Which wasn't the best idea. He grew tense every time he heard the sounds of the Walkers' footsteps. He tried taking deep breaths and mentally tell himself that it was just the Walkers not a Kaiju. He started tapping his finger a little to try and tune out the footsteps or else he'd go crazy and start shooting.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Huh?" Blinking, Jaune turned to the right and saw a Huntress. She was dressed in black and red clothing with a bright red cloak. Her hair was dyed red at the tips and she had silver eyes.

"You're one of the few that encountered the new Kaiju right?" she asked. "Are you okay?"

"Oh, yeah. Definitely." Jaune replied dismissively. "You sure? Because you look like you could use the company and my team is over there." She gestured over to where a large group of Huntsmen and Huntresses. 

Jaune sighed and got up and followed her. "The name's Jaune Arc," he said to both the Huntress and her friends. "Short, easy to remember."

"I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose." the young woman in a red hood said with a beaming smile. "I'm leader of Team RWBY. . . And yes, that does cause some confusion."

"I'm Yang Xiao Long, Ruby's older sister." the blonde woman with a yellow and black robotic right arm introduced. Jaune blinked. For a split second he thought he was looking at Raven with blonde hair. Eh. It's probably because her hair is a mane like Raven's.

"I'm Yang's partner, Blake Belladonna," the Cat Faunus said reading a book. Wait, what kind of book is that? Ninjas of Love? 

"Weiss Schnee, Ruby's partner." the snow white haired girl with blue eyes and a small scar over her left eye. Schnee? Jaune repeated mentally. Is she related to Specialist Schnee? "And yes, I'm related to the Atlassian-Imperial Specialist." she says as if reading Jaune's mind.

"Ah, that explains it." Jaune said as that really does explains it. But it did make him wonder why Winter's sister is a Huntress and not in the military like her. He turns to the three remaining Huntsman and Huntresses.

"We're Team PRN." the man with black hair. Is that a magenta streak in his hair? Jaune briefly thought. You don't see that, especially with most men. "I'm Lie Ren."

"Names Nora, Nora Valkyrie," the ginger haired woman said as she held a war hammer.

"And I'm Pyrrha Nikos," the red haired woman said politely.

"Nice to meet you," Jaune held an hand to shake.

"Excuse you, you're talking to Pyrrha Nikos!" Weiss exclaimed hotly. Jaune rose an eyebrow. "I know. She just said her name." he replied.

Weiss scoffed. "She graduated with the highest honors in Sanctum."

"And I'm a Scout Trooper," Jaune replied with a shrug. "I never heard of that."

"She won the Mistral Tournament four years in the row! A world record!" Weiss exclaimed. "The what?" Jaune asked. "I didn't watch much sports when I was younger."

He sees everyone else looking at him with surprised expressions while Weiss shook before she waved her arms angrily. "SHE'S ON THE FRONT OF EVERY PUMPKIN PETE'S MARSHMELLOW FLAKES BOX!"

Jaune let out a loud gasp. "That's you!" he exclaimed and imagined the mentioned cereal box behind the bashful Pyrrha. "But they only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters."
