Jaune and the Beanstalk
chpt.2: Beacon Land
Jaune took a moment to wipe the sweat from his brow. His arms and legs both ached from spending what felt like forever climbing the Beanstalk, though in reality it had only been a little over three hours. Furthermore, he was getting hungry and worried his quickly draining strength would effect his judgment and lead him into making a potentially fatal mistake.
"Whoa, what an amazing view. Jaune, are you looking?" yelled Ruby from higher up.
"Not really" he yelled back. "My attention's being given to something a little more pressing right now."
"Like what?" she yelled.
"Like NOT falling."
"Don't be such a worry wort, Jaune. You're just missing out on seeing so much cool stuff" yells Ruby, seemingly still filled with energy. How she had so much was a mystery to him. Honestly, he was a little jealous.
"Maybe I should look..." he said to himself, allowing his eyes to look away from the beanstalk itself for the first time since starting the climb. For a moment, he had to admit the sky around them was breathtaking. And then he looks down towards the ground, immediately becoming dizzy which forces him to hug himself against the beanstalk tightly.
"Nope, bad idea...REALLY bad idea" he says, feeling like he was going to puke. Looks like motion sickness wasn't his only weakness after all. After a moment to compose himself and settle down, he yells out "So, any chance you can see the end of this thing, Ruby?"
After a moment, he hears her shout back "Nope, the beanstalk is passing through some weird looking silver lined cloud a ways up from us. You should be able to see it too from down there."
He admits that's true, as well as looking up would be better than down. Besides, he needed to see where he was going and what he could grab next, right? He finally allows himself to look up, seeing Ruby way above him. And then he sees something else, something that makes him blush madly as he turns his eyes back to the greens before him.
"Hey, what's wrong?" she yells down.
"Nothing, nothing at all" he stammers. After a moment, he yells "Listen, Ruby, maybe I should take the lead in climbing up this thing?"
"Huh? Why, Jaune? It was my idea to climb this beanstalk to begin with so I'm technically the leader here" yells down Ruby.
"I don't mind you being the leader. It's just that..." Jaune goes quiet for a second then mumbles to himself. "...it's just that...well...you're wearing a skirt and..."
"What, I didn't catch that?" she yells.
Jaune shakes his head, then shouts up to her "Never mind, just be careful and watch what you're doing. The last thing either of us want or need now is to fall."
There was a pause, then he hears the words "To late", sounding closer and louder than before. It only takes a moment for Jaune's brain to understand the words he had just heard. Looking up, he panics as he sees Ruby dive bombing head first right at him, a big grin plastered on her face as she squeals with glee.
"RUBY...YOU NUT CASE" he screams, knowing she had intentionally fell. His body goes onto auto pilot as he somehow pushes his upper body out while using his legs to hug the beanstalk with as much strength as he could muster. He also uses one hand to grab a portion of the stalk while the other is held out in the hopes of catching the little red riding hood. As she gets closer, Ruby somehow manages to turns her body right side up just in time to come into grabbing range of Jaune.
The tense, breath holding, heart stopping second arrives as he catches her and pulls her against him as ever muscle in his body is pushed beyond the limit; her momentum threatening to send them both falling the rest of the way down. Yet, despite the odds against it, somehow, Jaune manages to keep his grip, both on Ruby and on the beanstalk.
"Woo, that was AMAZING, a total THRILL. Jaune, you have to try that OOOWWW" she cries as Jaune headbutts her as he had nothing else available to conk her with. She tears up and rubs the sore spot. She looks at him, confused, and says "Jaune?"
"YOU IDIOT, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOURSELF KILLED, GOTTEN US BOTH KILLED. DID YOU FORGET WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW?"
Ruby's eyes go wide, realizing he was right. "I'm sorry, Jaune. I just wanted you to tell me what it was you had really said so I decided to come down and join you. I didn't think about the risk before I did it though. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
"Ruby..." he says, bringing her into a close hug using the hand that was holding her. "I know, I know. You just scared me when I saw you falling towards me. I was scared that I would fail to catch you, scared that I would see my best friend fall to her death and not have any way to save her. Just...just promise me you'll never do something like that again, OK." And, in addition, he was REALLY scared of having to tell Yang as she would no doubt KILL him for failing to save Ruby.
Ruby wipes the tears from her eyes before hugging Jaune, saying "I promise, Jaune. Sorry for scaring you like that." After a pause, she pulls away then places a kiss on his nose. "You're my hero, you know that?"
He gives her a warm smile, saying "Only because you really need one, little red. Especially to keep you out of trouble."
Ruby nods, smiling as well. "So, what were you saying again? I thought I heard you say 'skirt' or something?"
Jaune blushes. "Well, I said I think I should be going first since you're wearing a skirt and every time I look up, I can't help but see...you know...and that makes me feel like I'm being a bad friend to you and all. I feel like a pervert, like I'm taking advantage of you and I don't like feeling like that."
Ruby tilts her head, confused, before she realizes what he was talking about, making her cheeks turn a slight shade of pink. "Oh, I understand. Well...don't worry about it Jaune."
"Huh?" he says.
"I said don't worry about it. You're my BFF after all so I'm not embarrassed if YOU see 'that'. In fact, I'd rather it be you than anyone else" said Ruby, sounding genuine.
"Seriously?" asked Jaune, finding it hard to believe how nonchalant Ruby was about this.
"Yep" she says, nodding before turning her attention to the beanstalk. She looks back and says "Well, enough of this gooey, mushy stuff, let's get back to climbing. I'm starting to get hungry so the sooner we reach the super magical land in the sky, the sooner we can find some grub."
Jaune watches her as she climbs up at her above average climbing speed, then sighs, shakes his head, then smiles. "Ruby, want am I going to do with you? Seriously..." He then begins to follow after her, occasionally looking up to make sure she doesn't decide to fall again though he still did his best to avoid looking at the rose patterned...'that'.
(scene shift)
Yang takes a deep breath, mentally putting herself into 'the fund zone' as she like to call it. Allowing for a quick smile before turning her features dark and angry looking, she balls her right hand into a fist then sends it knocking SUPER hard against the wooden door she stood before.
"OK ARC, I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE AND I KNOW MY SWEET, INNOCENT, BABY SISTER IS IN THERE WITH YOU. YOU BETTER OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW BEFORE I BUST IT DOWN THEN I BUST YOUR BALLS, BUDDY!"
She internally grins again, proud of how scary she had sounded. No doubt Jaune would be freaking out right about now. He should be opening the door right about...NOW...NOW? OK, right about... "OK, where the hell are you?" she wondered aloud. She places her head up against the door, trying to hear signs of movement inside. Was he trying to stay quiet, hoping she'd go away, assuming he wasn't here? Well, that wasn't going to fool her, not one bit.
"This will make him crap his pants" says Yang with a evil, quiet glee. Sure, Ruby might scold her for doing this, both to the door and to Jaune, but it would be worth it. The boy could sure scream like a girl when scared which she found HILARIOUS! She brings her fist up and back, preparing to use the strength that made her the undefeated champ of fighting here in Patchwork to bust down the door.
"Salutation's and good day, friend Yang" comes the ever chipper voice of Penny, making Yang jump. Penny then notices the position of Yang's hand and ask "Are you planning on busting down our door...again?"
Yang's reply is to chuckle nervously as she turns back to Penny, now using her right hand to rub the back of her head. "No, no, of course not...hahaha, I wouldn't do that to you guys again. I was just trying to get Jaune's attention as I know Ruby came here earlier to hang out with him."
"Oh, I see. Please step aside so I can unlock the door then we can both go in and see brother Jaune and friend Ruby" says Penny. Yang takes a step to the side, allowing the 'strange' girl access to the door. "May I ask why you delight in torturing brother Jaune like you do? I thought you were fine with him being friend's with friend Ruby?"
"Oh, I am, I am. I'm just teasing him, nothing special. I'm also trying to help toughen him up, especially if he intends to make my baby sister his someday. After all, I can't allow myself to have a future brother-in-law who scream is more girly than how any girl these days screams."
"Oh, I believe I understand. So, does that mean you see wedding bells in brother Jaune and friend Ruby's future?" asked Penny as she unlocks the door.
"Eh, never know with those two" says Yang, already pushing past Penny as she runs into the house, going from one room to the next, in search of her target and her sister. Penny steps in, moving towards the kitchen.
"By the way..." yells Yang. "Weren't you suppose to be at old man Port's all day today?" She then enters Jaune's room, quickly by the sound of her trashing the place as she looks for him in the weirdest of spot, like inside his bed mattress and dresser.
"Indeed I am. Farmer Port has decided we all get a two hour break for rest, including me. So I decided I should return home and make brother Jaune so lunch. Shall I make something for you as well?"
Yang comes walking into the kitchen and slumps down besides the table. "Sure, it'll give me time to think where else 'brother' Jaune could be right now." Her eyes then spot a note laying on said table which she picks up and reads.
"Penny, should you come home early later, know I went into town to see if Oobleck needed any help today so I could earn a few extra lien following what happened yesterday. Not sure when I'll be back though knowing Oobleck, it won't be until late afternoon at the earliest, signed Jaune."
"So he's down at old Blecky's huh? Well, guess I'll go there after lunch, see if Ruby might be hanging around too" says Yang.
"Oh my, what a strange sight out in the back?" says Penny suddenly, her large eyes looking out the back window.
"Is it Jaune and my sister?" asked Yang, jumping from the chair and rushing for the back door. If it really was them and, based on Penny's words and her own WAY to overactive imagination, Jaune had gotten Ruby to 'play games with him' out back in the open. Pretty ballsy of him. Kinky too.
"OK YOU SICK PERV..." Yang's voice fails her as she looks up, up UP into the sky. Her eyes widen in disbelief as Penny joins her as they both look at the beanstalk. "OK, I'll just go ahead and say it."
"NOW THAT, without question, is a KATANA!"
"No, I believe it is a beanstalk, friend Yang. From the family..."
"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!"
"But it looks nothing like a Katana...or a dick, knowing you were probably infering that" says Penny.
Yang groans, shaking her head while resting a hand against her forehead. 'How does Jaune deal with her sometimes? I really need to ask...' It is times like these, she actually feels bad for him.
(scene change)
The beanstalk pierced through the silver lined cloud, reaching up another thirty feet or so before ending in a curl. Within moments, Ruby's head comes popping up from the clouds followed a few seconds later by her shooting upwards as Jaune's head comes poking out; Ruby now sitting on his shoulders. They both look this way and that, seeing rocks and a gravely path leading upwards along the rocky mountain like wall.
Ruby hops off Jaune's shoulder, landing on the ground then taps a foot against the path. "Seems solid enough." She turns back to Jaune and sees him fully emerging from the clouds then hopping off to join Ruby. "So, what do we do now?" she asked.
Jaune looks around as well. "Well, not much to see right off the bat though I guess the fact we have an actual world floating around in the sky is plenty to see as it is. I guess we follow this path and see where it goes. Hopefully, we'll find some food to eat."
Ruby nods as she begins to trot slash skip forward merrily. "Think we'll have to climb back down once we're done up here?"
Jaune shrugs. "Probably though that could be even more dangerous than climbing up."
"We could always make parachutes, assuming we can find the materials."
"Yeah, like I know anything about making a parachute and I doubt you do either." Jaune sighs. "I can't think straight on an empty stomach. Let's just find food first then we'll cross that bridge after."
"Works for me" says Ruby, turning back and smiling at him while still moving forward. She then turns again and continues leading them up to the top of the incline, the sight they see beyond bringing them to a dead stop.
Beyond the mountainous wall of stone was a massive, unending forest as far as the eye could see, with leaves of red, blue, yellow, and purple covering the various trees. The red leaf trees were the closest to them, stretching out a good ways. The yellow leaf trees along the west, the blue to the east, and they could make out the purple leaf trees on the far side of this magic wonderland. And at the center of it all was a silver castle with an equally large tower rising high into the sky.
Ruby's eyes go wide as she yells out "AMAZING. THIS PLACE IS LOOKS AWESOME." She then looks back at Jaune, asking "Don't you think so?"
"Well, it's...different. I wonder if anyone lives here?" said Jaune, his attention on the silver castle like structure. "I guess we should head..." He didn't get to finish as he feels Ruby grab hold of his hand then his body jerks forward as she runs down the path into the red leaf forest.
"COME ON, COME ON, WE NEED TO EXPLORE THIS PLACE" she cheered.
"And find some food" adds Jaune, trying his best to keep pace with her.
"Oh yeah, that too" says Ruby as they reach the bottom of the path and now begin to run through the red forest. They proceed for several moments before the path opens to reveal a large metal vessel laying crashed upon the ground, damaged, with several equally damaged trees just past it. Ruby comes to a dead stop while letting go of Jaune's hand while Jaune, still being moved forward by the momentum ends up slamming head first into the metal vessel.
"Jaune, just what is this?" asked Ruby, not noticing he had slammed head first into the machine.
Jaune groans as he stays planted against the machine for several seconds then pulls away and looks back at Ruby, his face looking like it was flatter than a pancake now which makes Ruby laugh. "Next time...Ruby, warn me when you're about to stop."
He then shakes his head, making his face return to normal, for the most part. He then looks at the machine. "Why's a Ramhead doing up here?"
"What's a Ramhead?" asked Ruby.
"You know what a Bullhead is, right?" asked Jaune.
Ruby nods. "Yeah, Bullheads are the name of those airships that people use to travel around from place to place."
Jaune nods then looks back at the machine. "Well, a Ramhead is essentially the same thing, just smaller and more personal. This one, in particular, is a two seater. Probably meant for leisurely flights and joy rides. But why is it doing up here? If my guess is correct, we're even higher than what Bullhead's can reach when in flight. Ramhead's can't even fly THAT high."
"Hey, look" says Ruby, running past him and brushing some of broken tree branches clear, revealing a symbol painted onto the Ramhead; resembling a snowflake with a crown at its center. "What does this mean?"
"Hm..." Jaune examines the symbol for a few seconds before his eyes light up. "Wait, this is the symbol of the royal family of Atlast. That means...so that's what must have happened?"
"What?" asked Ruby.
"Well, I read in the paper this morning that princess Weiss of Atlast and the Mistrial champion warrior Pyrrha had gone missing. Many believed they had ran off together, eloping, so they could engage in some sorted and scandalous love affair. But it looks like they somehow flew all the way up here then crashed on this floating island."
Ruby looks around then back at Jaune. "You think they're still alive?"
"Possibly" says Jaune, climbing onto the Ramhead and looking into the cockpit. "I can't see them inside the Ramhead..." He then looks around the area. "...can't see any bodies lying around either. I'll take that as a good sign and say they're likely still alive up here, some where in this place."
"Maybe they saw the castle from before like we did? Maybe they went there, searching for help and food?" said Ruby.
"I agree. Let's go ahead and head there as well and find out" says Jaune, preparing to hop down when something slams into his head from behind, sending him crashing into the ground beside Ruby while a little ball of light, the thing that had hit Jaune, goes spinning out of control and crash's onto the ground as well. Ruby was quick to kneel down to check on Jaune who had a large pump growing from the back of his head. "Ow...what hit me?" he asked as Ruby uses a finger to push the bump back into his head.
The little ball of light groans as well before the light fades, revealing a tiny girl with butterfly like wings who also seemed to have a rather stylish eye for fashion. She was wearing a golden brown beret, a kneel length coat with the same coloring and big black buttons, black leg hugging pants, golden high heels, and a black handbag. She also had some stylish black shades and hair cut too.
"What the heck did I hit? Felt hard as a rock" she said as she clears her head. Her eyes then see Jaune, still laying face first on the ground, and quickly zips over to him and touches his head. "Yep, thought so. Incredibly thick skulled with a tiny brain inside."
"HEY" yells Jaune as he begins to finally pick himself up. The tiny winged girl tries to fly away but Ruby is just a tad bit quicker as she reaches out and grabs onto the back of her garments, taking her hostage.
"Hey, what gives? Let me go you oversized brute" yells the little girl as Ruby brings her closer to better examine her.
"Whoa, this is incredible" she then looks back at Jaune who had finally gotten back onto his feet. "Look Jaune, it's some sort of fairy girl. You think she'll give us her pot of gold in exchange for her freedom?"
"Pot of...Ruby, that would be a leprechaun, not a fairy. Fairy's are the ones who cover you in magic pixie dust so you can fly around so long as you think happy thoughts" said Jaune.
"Hey, I take offense to that...both of those things actually. And just because I'm a fairy doesn't mean I can make you FLY so either you let me go or there will be hell to pay" yells the girl.
"No way, make with the magic first" commands Ruby.
Jaune grabs the girl from Ruby and sets her down on the ground. "Sorry about her, she's gained quite an active imagination from reading to many fairy tales. I'm Jaune, by the way and she's Ruby. Mind telling us at least just where we are anyways?"
The fairy huffs as she brushes herself off, mumbling about Ruby. "Hard to believe the thick headed one is the nicer of the two", getting a "HEY" from both Jaune and Ruby for different reasons.
The girl sighs as she looks up at them. "Well, let's see what we have here. Humans, huh? Been a while since I last seen your kind up here in Beacon Land."
"Beacon Land? So is that the name of this place?" asked Ruby.
"Gee, let me think..." says the girl, taking on a mock thinking pose before yelling "OF COURSE IT'S THE NAME. WHY ELSE WOULD I HAVE CALLED IT THAT, DUMMY?"
"I was only wanting to be sure" mumbles Ruby in a huff, crossing her hands over her chest as she looks away with puffed cheeks.
"Anyways, my name's Coco Adel, a fairy as you can tell. Now, if you excuse me, I need to be off. Got places to go, people to see, buying the newest trending styles of clothes to wear. Have to stay with the times you know? I am the leading edge of fashion around these parts so I can't afford to fall behind. Besides, my current outfit is so last week."
"Could have fooled me" said Jaune. "You look very fashionable from what I can tell."
Coco blushes at his compliment. "Well, I thank you for that though I must confess I find it hard to believe either of you would know good fashion when you see it. I mean, no offense, but your style of dress is SO last century. You need to get with the times, kids." She then rises into the air, preparing to fly off. "Anyways, I need to hurry. See ya around..."
"HOLD IT" says Ruby, grabbing Coco before she could fly off again which irritates the fairy. "Before you leave, mind telling us about THAT?" Ruby points towards the Ramhead. "Know anything about what happened to the people who were inside?"
Coco grumbles something, then says "Yeah, I know something. I know I'm going to be LATE...fine." After a huff, Coco says "Word on the grape vine is that old giant who lives up in the castle at the center of the Cardinal Woods here on Beacon Land was doing a little sky fishing..."
"Wait, sky fishing?" asked Jaune.
"Yeah, sky fishing. You know, to catch some sky fish for dinner" says Coco.
"I didn't know there was fish in the sky?" says Ruby, her eyes wide.
"And I didn't know there could be a girl who would dress as GAUDY as you do" throws in Coco, making Ruby give her the 'evil glare.' Jaune, off to the side, says "you should meet her sister."
"Anyways, old crazy giant was doing some sky fishing and bagged a whopper of a catch, namely that weird metal bird we have laying right here. Apparently, there were two human girls inside and the giant took them back to the castle, probably to eat them or something? I don't know as we fairy's rarely interact with the giant. We have a little something called manners which that...brute is clearly lacking. The metal bird was tossed to the side, crashing here from the looks of it" says Coco.
"Oh no, Jaune, we have to do something" says Ruby.
"While I'm in agreement, just what can we do, Ruby? I mean, look at us. We don't have any weapons nor any combat training or even any magical powers. We'd just get ourselves captured and turned into a meal too" says Jaune.
"I agree with thick skull here" says Coco. "Trying to take on that freak as you are now would be suicide." She then sighs, saying "Well, I guess I have no choice then."
"What do you mean, no choice?" asked Ruby.
"Before that, tell me how you two got up here?" ask Coco.
"I found some weird beans covered in blue spots that turned into a beanstalk. Me and Ruby climbed all the way up here" says Jaune.
"Oh, that makes sense. You must have used some of Beacon Land's famous Amaze-a-bean. When planted here in Beacon Land, they grow like any normal bean would but when planted down on the surface, and following a full moon, they'll grow into a tower of a stalk, always bringing anyone who has the strength to climb it here to this place" says Coco. "Anyways, seeing as you both came up here under your own power, I have to abide by the laws of my kind and awaken your Aura's."
"Awaken our Aura's?" Ruby cocks her head to the side. "What does that mean?"
"I'm really need to explain this, don't I? Fine, just let me go and I tell you" says Coco. Ruby looks at Jaune who gives her a nod, so she lets Coco go. "OK, so Aura is the name we fairy's use to describe the power you humans have; a power that comes from within ones soul. By calling that power out to the surface, you'll become stronger. Minor injuries will heal super quick and you can use your Aura to enhance your body to a degree; making you have better stamina and endurance when running for example. Having access to your Aura will make this foolish little rescue mission possible I guess."
"That's great. So, what do we do then?" asked Jaune.
"Well first, be thankful there are two of you as I'm really not skilled enough to unlock a human's Aura all on my own. Not that I can't, mind you. It's just touching my fairy Aura to yours would be like me buying a new pair of clothing only to immediately jump into a muddy puddle and rolling around in it."
"HEY" yells both Jaune and Ruby.
"BUT! Since there are two of you here, I can work a little side thing that might be even better served for you both. I'll cast a Aura seal onto the ground, under your feet. I'll just need you both to follow my instructions. First, take your left hand and place it against the cheek of the other person and take your right and place it over their heart."
"OK" both Ruby and Jaune say though Jaune finds this a little embarrassing as it means he'll need to touch Ruby's chest. He finds Ruby in blushing just as hard as he is. "OK, what next?" asked Jaune.
"Wait..." Ruby breaks away suddenly. "Before we do this, what did you mean by it might be better served for us doing it this way?"
"Huh? Oh, right. Well, this method, which will form the Aura unlocking seal beneath you will make your Aura's momentarily available despite still be locked up deep inside your bodies. You'll use your Aura's to grab onto the others Aura and pulled it completely out onto the surface. If this is done between two people who share a strong bond with one another, it'll make both your Aura and the special power connected to it all the stronger."
"Special power?" asked Jaune.
"First, we'll unlock your Aura's then we can talk super power, kiddies. Now hurry up and take up the pose. I have places to be after all" commands Coco.
Jaune and Ruby look at each other again, placing their left hand on the others cheek and their right over the others heart. Coco then chants a few words in her own fairy language, making the seal appear beneath them which gives off glowing sparkles of light that rise into the air while a gentle breeze blows around Jaune and Ruby.
"Now, just say the awakening chant and we'll be done here" says Coco.
"What's the chant?" asked Jaune.
"You tell me? Look inside yourselves and find it. Only the two of you can know the words that shall bind your souls together forever" says Coco. Jaune and Ruby stare deep into each others eyes, each feeling the others Aura mixing in with their own. It is there they find it and from that, they speak the words aloud.
"Oh virtuous soul, oh innocent light
take hold my hand as we brave the night
And through this embrace, thus you'll be
a beacon of hope for all to see
Then shall your Aura shine bright and true
as our hearts connect us, me and you"
As they speak as one, the light from the seal begins to glow brighter and brighter, kicking up a strong breeze. And as they finish the chant, the light of their shared Aura is released with a powerful force, making even Coco be sent flying back from its power. Jaune and Ruby look at each other, feeling they were now even more closer linked than ever before.
"Man, that was intense. You two must have one heck of a bond to produce that kind of reaction" comes Coco, feeling impressed. "Maybe you two can actually...OH CRAP, WHAT AM I DOING? I NEED TO GET GOING BEFORE ALL THE GOOD ITEMS ARE GONE."
"Wait, what about how we use our Aura and what about that special power that comes along with it?" asked Jaune, yelling towards the fair as she goes to leave.
"FIGURE IT OUT! I'M DONE WASTING TIME ON YOU OUTLET SHOPPER'S" yells Coco, quickly flying off before they could stop her again.
"Hey, get back here. Don't make me scream 'I DON'T BELIEVE IN FAIRIES.' I'LL REALLY DO IT!" yells Ruby.
Jaune places a hand on her shoulder, getting him to look at him. He shakes his head, saying "Just let her go. We'll figure it out...somehow."
"OK" she said, sounding annoyed. "So, do we head to the castle?"
"Might as well" says Jaune, turning and beginning to walk while his attention is still on Ruby. But his walk is stopped as he goes crashing into something soft. He sees Ruby's eyes go wide which makes him shake as while his hands reach up and feel the soft thing he was standing against.
"Um...Ruby...is this good or bad?" asked Jaune.
Ruby begins to back away, saying "Bad, very bad...and VERY BIG..."
Jaune gulps as he turns to look at what he had pumped into, finding it to be a face with his full height being from the chin to the eye brows. He backs away as the giant grins at them before standing tall, casting them in shadow.
"I thought I smelt some human's near by and felt human Aura being awakened" comes the giant; a girl better known as Nora Valkyrie. "Now Fe fi fo fum, come with me and we'll have some FUN!"
Jaune and Ruby scream as the Nora reaches down with her massive hands to capture them...
To be continued...
AN: Well, here we are with chapter two. Seriously, who didn't see Nora being the giant here? Thing's will obviously get more entertaining next time, especially as Weiss, Pyrrha, Ren, and Blake will be joining the fun. And what about Penny and Yang? Will they be climbing the Beanstalk as well?
Throwing Coco Adel, from Team CFVY, was a last second choice as I needed someone to play the fairy who would...sort of help Jaune and Ruby. I chose her due to her high sense of fashion and equal attitude (she did kick a Grimm in the balls after all). Her design, well think of what she was wearing in ep 12 of vol 2, just with butterfly wings added. Yang's look, short shorts and a yellow T-shirt with exposed stomach area and sporty boots.
The Jaune and Ruby Aura chant is of my own creation and I'll use it in other RWBY based stories, like Remember Me as I Remember You (well the revised chapter 1 and chapter 2 when it releases September 1).
And the Cardinal Woods is not connected in any way to Cardin Winchester or his team. Rather, it's connected to the Cardinal Witch's (based on the four Wicked Witch's of Oz) who will be showing up in a future RWBY series fic I'll be releasing next year, called "If Only..."
Any hoot, till next time, nates...
