Ruby and Jaune Tg/Tf Part 5 (Patreon)

Around an hour later Jaune found himself waking up in a bed in the medical ward. “What happened I had the strangest dream that I turned into Yang and Ruby turned into an older version of herself.”

“I’m afraid that wasn’t a dream Jaune.”

Jaune rolled over to see if that Ruby was there, and she was in her older appearance. He also noticed that he still had long blond hair and a pair of giant breasts.

“Ruby sorry about before I didn't mean to break down like that. The stress of being trapped in this form forever was just too much to handle at the moment. I sorry that you had to see that.”

“Jaune, no one is blaming you for freaking out after what happened. Better the two of us you got the short end of it.”

“You know, I always wanted to be a hero, though after what happened I don't know if that’s even an option anymore. I know that I was never that good and at I could be classified as mediocre. However, I trained my ass off to get to where I was and now it’s like I'm starting at zero again. How can I expect to accomplish anything in this form?”

“Jaune I can’t say that I fully understand how you feel, but you have to know that there is nothing stopping you from trying again. I know that it may seem easier just to give up, but the Jaune Arc I know is no quitter. You may not have the natural talent that the rest of us have, but you have the heart.”

“The best thing that you can do right now is believe in yourself. I have seen you belittle yourself too many times and I won’t stand by when my friend needs my help. You're stronger than you realize; stronger than most people realize. If you were as weak as you thought you were you wouldn't have even lasted the first week at Beacon, even though you cheated your way in.”

“So you know. I knew I couldn’t keep it secret for long, though it was pretty obvious wasn't it. I'm guessing Ozpin told you.” “Yeah Ozpin told us, but don't worry only Yang and I know this. Ozpin only told us to help you, I promise we'll do our best to keep it a secret.”

“I doubt that matters it was pretty obvious from the beginning. Though I guess since the both of you know now that means I’m probably getting expelled right?”

“Jaune, Ozpin doesn't want to kick you out, he wants you to stay.” “Even though that this entire time I was acting like someone I wasn’t? Even after I betrayed everyone’s trust? Ruby how can I continue to look my team in their faces knowing that’s I’m a fraud?”

“Pyrrha barely forgave me because she understood that I wanted to get stronger for them. How will Ren and Nora react? How will they react when they see me like this?”

“They’ll accept you for who you are because you’re not going anywhere. Though there is a catch to all of this. After today you can no longer be Jaune Arc.”

“What!? Who am I supposed to be if not me!?” “I’m sorry Jaune, but Ozpin was insistent that until we can find a way to turn you back Jaune Arc has to disappear. “

“Ruby I have a family. How will they react if I just end up disappearing all of a sudden? I can’t do that to them? It isn’t right.”

“Ozpin knows that, but he says that detaching yourself from you family is the best thing for everyone.” “You mean the best thing for him.” “Jaune you do have the option of announcing to everyone what happened to you, but there is no doubt that you will face more hardships if you do. Living as a woman is already a big enough change, I doubt that you would want the entire school knowing as well.”

“Ruby my entire life has been nothing but hardships. From having seven sisters, to having cheated my way into Beacon, none of it has been easy for me. This may just be another one of those trails.”

“Jaune there is another option that that you can choice. I didn’t want to tell you this, nor did I even want you to even think about it, but I promised Ozpin that I would at least let you hear all of the options before you choose.”

“Ruby, whatever it is I promise that I will trust you.” “The last option that you have is something that you can’t come back from. There will be no going back ever.”

“Ozpin has a way to erase your memories. Though it’s more than that. He has a way to rewrite everyone else’s memories in the school to make it so that Jaune Arc never attended Beacon in the first place. He said that he would do the same with your family as well to make them believe that they never had a child named Jaune Arc.”

“So, that’s his way out then isn’t it. Ozpin just wants to hide what happened and make it look like you were the only one affected. I should have known that someone like him would try this.”

“By choosing this Ozpin will erase everything that makes you, well you. Your personality and memories would change and you in sense would no longer exist. Jaune he’s basicially asking you to die!”

“I didn’t want to tell you this, but he didn’t give me a choice!” Ruby started to cry and Jaune just looked down in regret.

“Ruby, you don’t have to blame yourself for this. None of this was your fault. Ozpin must know that. That’s why he’s insistent on making me take the full front of the punishment. Ruby it was my choice to make you fight that Grimm, but you didn’t even bother to tell them.”

“You could have told Ozpin, you could have told Yang, but you didn’t. Ruby you are the first friend that I made when I came to Beacon. In fact you were my first friend in general. I can’t hate you for telling words that aren’t yours.”

“Jaune, I’m sorry!” “Don’t be. Though if I do end up choosing this choice what will happen to me afterwards?”

“I don’t know the full details. All I know is that Ozpin has it planned out. He didn’t want to tell us without you being their with us. Jaune Ozpin said that he’ll give you until the end of the day to choose. Please don’t doing anything foolish.”
