History Fanfic / TheBeaconCivilWar

** Pyrrha when she realizes the guys guarding the cafeteria are actually fakes [[spoiler:since the entire boys' army has gone out to take the now defenseless outer control points]].

* DogFoodDiet: Barely averted. After the girls capture the cafeteria (and thus the main food source for the game), Jaune and Ren chase after Zwei for his dog food. Luckily, this is when they meet Team CRDL and defeat a group of girl scouts, netting their snacks. Zwei gets to keep his dog food and Jaune is never that desperate again.

* TemptingFate: Jaune tries to convince Pyrrha to stand down and make peace in the final hours, saying there's no reason for them not to try considering the girls currently have the advantage, they haven't got any feedback from the teachers thus far, and that even if there ''was'' a rule, the teachers would rather let them learn than just give them the answer. Before he can finish his sentence, the school's PA system comes on and Ozpin clarifies that no, peace isn't an option, sorry.

* AnimalJingoism: Jaune ''weaponizes'' this by accident against Blake, who's a cat faunus and does ''not'' like Zwei.

* CovertPervert: Pyrrha goes positively {{luminescent|Blush}} as she thinks of what she could do with Jaune as her personal prisoner.

* FacePalm: Ruby's reaction [[spoiler:when Jaune tricks Zwei into fetching the girls' flag at the cafeteria, allowing the boys to win the war]].

* FateWorseThanDeath: Jaune and Ren choose to run away partly because they know whatever the girls would do to them (Nora mentions frilly dresses, Weiss would likely gut Jaune, and whatever Pyrrha would do to him is something Jaune prefers not to think about) would be worse than the risks of fighting the war.

* {{Irony}}: Every time Pyrrha is mentioned wanting to catch Jaune, he's petrified thinking what horrors she might put him through, when everyone else knows she just wants to be alone with [[ObliviousToLove him]].

** Pyrrha when she realizes the guys guarding the cafeteria are actually fakes [[spoiler:since the entire army has gone out to take the outer control points]].

* RousingSpeech: Jaune gives one to the boys gathered in the North Wing auditorium, and another to the guys that have been imprisoned in the library. Both of them are incredibly successful.

* TakeAThirdOption: Averted. Jaune tries to broker peace with the girls, but despite his moving speech on the subject, Ozpin tells him that there's no provision in the rules for that, so they have to fight. [[spoiler: Both sides came prepared to betray the other, anyway.]]

* TrojanPrisoner: [[spoiler: When Jaune releases the girl prisoners, he has some boys [[WholesomeCrossdresser dress up as girls]] and join in, going unnoticed in the confusion.]]

* FateWorseThanDeath: Jaune and Ren choose to run away partly because they know whatever the girls would do to them (Nora mentions frilly dresses, Weiss would likely murderize Jaune, and Jaune would rather not think what Pyrrha would do) would be worse than the risks of fighting the war.

* HypercompetentSidekick: Zwei is pretty much behind all of Jaune's victories in one way or another. Jaune ran into Cardin and gained his first followers chasing Zwei to get his dog food (the cafeteria was firmly under female control), and Zwei helps him distract the Valkyries when they corner him, and defeat Team RWBY. [[spoiler:And in the end, he helps Jaune capture the last point and win the game.]]

* MundaneMadeAwesome: The dramatics and pointlessly heated competition seen in Beacon's earlier food fight are enforced by the school's faculty for the duration of a full week. Rather than a training exercise and/or stock battle of the sexes episode, everybody except Jaune acts like it's a brutal conflict of LaResistance fighting hopelessly for survival against a tyrannical EvilEmpire, and Jaune's impromptu gathering is framed as religious deliverance ([[UnwantedFalseFaith to his chagrin]]).

* ObliviousToLove: Jaune, to the point where Lie Ren (who's editing the memoir) points out that they shouldn't ''have'' to tell him that Pyrrha has a massive crush on him.

Once upon a time, during a normal lunch period at Beacon Academy, Ozpin springs a surprise on his students: A boys vs girls civil war. The battle will start right after the announcement, last for a week, and whichever side controls the most capture points by the end wins some prize money to re-decorate their dorms. With Coco Adel (who brought her minigun-purse with her to the cafeteria) convinced by the prospect of extra fashion money and Pyrrha convinced by the prospect of... private time... with Jaune, the girls manage to capture the cafeteria in a landslide victory. The boys are reduced to scattered survivors around the school, but they do have a few tricks up their sleeve:

* BatmanGambit: Jaune pulls these off a lot, like using Zwei as a distraction (he's trained to start snuggling and licking people whenever someone says "Zwei, kisses!"). [[spoiler: He eventually wins the war by letting Weiss specifically go to Pyrrha with his peace offer, since he knew that she wanted to get revenge on him for humiliating her with bad poetry and would a) convince Pyrrha to betray Jaune, and b) pull in the majority of the girls' army to do it, leaving the control points ready for taking.]]
* BrickJoke: When Jaune's group moves to the North Wing and notices the girl patrols are using their scrolls to ID each other as female, and Jaune jokes about that saving them from a "dress like a girl" plan. [[spoiler:When he frees the girl prisoners, several boys dress like girls for a plan to cause confusion amongst the girls' army.]]

* FacePalm: Ruby's reaction [[spoiler:when Jaune tricks Zwei into taking off the girls' flag at the cafeteria, allowing the boys to win the war]].

* MundaneMadeAwesome: The dramatics and pointlessly heated competition seen in Beacon's earlier food fight are enforced by the school's faculty for the duration of a full week. Rather than a training exercise and/or stock battle of the sexes episode, everybody except Jaune acts like it's a brutal conflict of LaResistance fighting hopelessly for survival against a tyrannical EvilEmpire, and Jaune's impromptu gathering is framed as religious deliverance (to his chagrin).

* UnwantedFalseFaith: Much to Jaune's chagrin, CRDL starts a cult worshipping him for his (apparent) feats in the war.

* GodzillaThreshold: When Nora catches him, Jaune decides to trigger Magnhild's grenade launcher on account of escaping being better than the hit he's going to take to his aura.

[[spoiler: And in the end, he helps Jaune capture the last point and win the game.]]

* GoldenSnitch: The Cafeteria battle nearly decided the whole war in the girls' favor, since a) most of the students were there, b) Coco Adel carries her weapon everywhere in the form of a handbag, giving the girls a serious advantage, and c) it was the only source of food for most of the students.

* IKnowMortalKombat: The Kunoichis of Love most definitely do ''not'' get their techniques from Blake's porn, [[BlatantLies no sirree]].

* IShallTauntYou: An unusual variation; Jaune reads out soppy love poetry to Weiss, since he knows that she hates his crush on her.
* TheLancer: Lie Ren, who escapes the cafeteria with Jaune, fights by his side for the whole story, and eventually edits his memoir.

** Neither side can prevent the other from seeking medical attention. However, nothing prevents one side from staking out the nurses office and capturing enemies once they're discharged.

* ShaggyDogStory: Kinda- Team JNPR has an equal number of boys and girls, and the end of the story reveals that whichever side won was planning on sharing the money anyway (Team RWBY, not so much), and Jaune thinks that everything in Beacon is back to normal. The others look at the people practically worshiping Jaune and doubt that.

* WhamLine: The moment Ozpin reveals the training exercise is going to be boys vs girls is the moment everything goes to hell in a handbasket.

* AnimalJingoism: Jaune ''weaponizes'' this on accident against Blake, who's a cat faunus and does ''not'' like Zwei.
