Winter Break 33
Jaune recovered enough to see his friends cheery attitudes. However, the moment the got close to him, Jaune fell face forward and lost all feeling in his body.
"Huh…that's weird..." The blond knight thought as his entire body went numb.
"I guess that power up has some drawbacks," Yang chuckled at the sight of the tall blond being held up by her much shorter sister.
"How long do you think this will last?"
Jaune wanted to shrug his shoulders but couldn't as he said, "I don't know. Hopefully not long. I guess it's called Limit Breaker for a reason."
Ren stored his motorcycle and pulled out his car. After hauling Jaune into the back seat, everyone nearly fell to the ground.
"Uf…maybe it isn't his new Semblance but the massive increase to our Auras. Our bodies might not be strong enough to handle such powerful souls," Pyrrha commented as she felt the numbing sensation all over her body.
"If our Auras weren't healing us so quickly, we wouldn't even be able to move…Jaune is pretty low, so his Aura might not be able to keep up."
"That sounds plausible…" Jaune groaned as he watched everyone making jittery movements.
"Huh…I don't know if it's because my physique is so much stronger than everyone else's, or that I'm still being boosted my lightning magic, but I feel fine!" Nora chirped.
"I can't drive like this…" Ren mentioned with a pale expression.
Nora's grin grew wider as she suddenly picked up everyone and tossed them into the back of the Humvee.
"I got this," Nora said as she closed the car doors and stored everyone's vehicles.
"Guys, I'm scared," Jaune commented.
"Oh, no. Does Nora have a driver's license?" Ruby asked.
"Not in the last timeline, and not in this one either," Ren paled.
"Are going to die?" Weiss shook as the engine started up.
"I hope not," Yang tried to put on a seatbelt.
The car suddenly went in reverse at full speed before coming to a screeching halt.
"Oops, that's reverse! Tee-hee!"
"Oh god, we're all going die!" Blake cried with kitten tears.
"BUCKLE ME UP! BUCKLE ME UP!" Jaune yelled as the car suddenly took off.
It took them about ten minutes to regain motor control and strap everyone into their seats. However, Jaune had lost consciousness from a nasty blow to the head he got when Nora decided to try her hand at drifting.
One terrifyingly 140MPH car ride later, they arrived at the gates of Argus. Jaune was still unconscious. Normally, a blow like banging his head against the wall would be nothing to the Arc. However, while he had gotten over his motion sickness, he will never get over Nora's driving.
Jaune was hauled back to their summer home and put in bed. When he woke up the next day, he felt better than ever. So the first thing he did was check his status.

Jaune laughed as he said, "Ha, they've all gained about 2,000 points in Aura. If I can keep this up, I might be able to make Hunters with Aura levels similar to the ones I had in the future. If we had an army of Aura Monsters, we'd easily be able to safeguard Remnant…hmm…the only question is, who we should choose to grow the quickest."
"Sounds neat," The voice of Sun was accompanied by him passing over a plate of pancakes.
"Tha…when'd you get here?"
"Around, everyone gained about 2,000 points of Aura," Sun chuckled as he took a seat next to the bed.
While the monkey Faunus ate his plate of pancakes, he looked at Jaune and said, "Neptune, Sage, and Scarlet have a copy of my memories. They're downstairs waiting to see their General again."
"I see…so I suppose you'll be wanting me to put you guys in your own party."
"I'd appreciate it, I have to help them Level Grind."
"I guess it's your turn to drive the bus," Jaune chuckled.
"Seriously, what the hell did you have to do that? I got a weird title because of you,"
"We killed a few thousand Grimm to level up. The region around Mount Blackrock had plenty for us to slay," Jaune replied as he started eating.
"Ah, just like the good old days. Only this time, we level up like video game characters."
"If you can call killing Grimm nonstop for days at a time, then yeah, the good old days." Jaune rolled his eyes.
"Heh, so. I heard you can give me a major boost to my Aura. I was kind of hoping you do the same for my team."
Jaune titled his head and said, "I actually can't do that again for a full month…hold on, I have an idea. Let me see your Arc Clone."
Sun nodded his head as he summoned the clone made of Jaune's Aura.
Jaune grabbed the hand of the clone and used Reawakening on it.
The Clone glowed brightly as its Aura went from roughly 2,500 to 37,500. It also took Jaune's appearance and wore a full suit of armor.
"Huh…that's new…" Sun tilted his head.
"Did it receive my new mutations?" Jaune hopped.
Sun gave a thumb's up before saying, "Yeah…I can steadily increase my teams Aura with this."
The clone vanished as the monkey Faunus said, "It feels weird for my Aura Clone to have more Aura than me."
"Well, since it has my appearance, weapons, and abilities, it's more like a Aura Replica."
"I guess it is," Sun gave a soft smile before his eyes widened and he announced, "I got these now."
Clapping his hands together, clones constructed from his team and team JNPRRWBY appeared in front of Jaune.
"So I found out that it only takes 24hours for you to make a special clone, could you use your reawakening on them? There kind of weak with only around 500 Aura Points stored within them."
"Sure," Jaune proceeded to amplify all of them to having roughly an Aura Level of 7,500.
"With this, I have a whole team of special replicas that can mimic your teams! I'm a one man army!"
Jaune looked at his hands and said, "When the month is up. I want you to use Reawakening on me."
"So you're going to do it in a month?"
The blond knight nodded his head, "I'll take the test after we stop Cinder from destroying the city with the train."
"Right then…don't die on us, Jaune."
"I'll do my best."
Jaune finished his plate and headed downstairs to see his team chatting with the rest of Team SSSN.
"Morning," Jaune waved his hand.
"Jaune!" Ruby lept up and gave him a hug.
"I can't believe that love tap knocked you out," Yang shook her head.
"Hey! I can't help it. I started feeling sick, and I lost focus for a second or two," Jaune looked away from the blond brawler.
"Hey, Jaune. Been a while or is it that we just met. This is really confusing," Neptune called out.
"It's good to see you again, General." Sage nodded his head.
"Gotta say, Arc, you put us through quite the ordeal in the future. Hopefully your return can change the tides," Scarlet spoke up.
"It's good to you brothers," Jaune held his hand out and shook them.
"Man, he's cool," Neptune thought as he stepped beside his team and winked at Weiss.
Weiss blushed a bit as she turned to the side. She had a few memories of seeing them date and even some nights when Ruby and her went out for double dates.
Yang looked at Sage up and down before saying, "So you're supposed to be my husband?"
"That's one way to look at it. But at the same time, it could be different than before."
"So you'd say Xiao Long to all this?" Yang showed off her curves.
Sage snorted before laughing loud enough for everyone in the house to hear.
"Dang it, he likes my jokes and he's totally my type!" Yang blushed as she realized what memories Jaune kept from her.
A camera flash confirmed her suspicions as Jaune whistled and said, "Now that's a picture for the family album.
"Ugh, I still think your taste in jokes is absolutely dreadful," Scarlet made a disgusted expression.
"I like corny jokes. They're the best kind. Too 'bad' humor only improve with S(age)." Sage smirked as Yang busted up laughing.
