Chapter three: Life was just not fair

After the incidents which included Jaune's dad running away from his wife and daughters before finally getting caught and Jaune saving Raina's life from strangulation. Jaune sits in his room relaxing, reading the newest volume of X-ray and Vav. Everything was peaceful until things hit the fan. His sisters came running into his room and grabbed him and began dragging him into their room as Jaune was confused for a split second before remembering every time his sisters dragged him into their room that meant that it was dress-up time. His sisters did have names; they were Jean the oldest, Olivia the second oldest, Maria the third oldest, Joan who is Jaune's twin sister, then there were the triplets Janette, Janel, and Jenna, the nightmares

'Oh please no!' Jaune thought as he was being held against his will while he sees his sister Janette started getting out the dresses and hair ties.

"No no no no no!" Jaune repeatedly said as he squirmed around trying to break free, but his sisters were far stronger than him, much to his distress.

"Hold him still Janel!" His third oldest sister Maria said as she did his hair, making him squirm more.

"I'm trying ok!? tell that to Olivia!" Janel pointed to her fellow sister who was attempting to hold his legs down.

"Hey screw you! You try dealing with his legs!. He's making my boobs jiggle like they are on an Ursa or something!" Olivia said as she was struggling to keep Jaune's legs down while her breasts bounce up and down on them.

"Let me go! I have rights!" Jaune yelled out as he continued to struggle to break free, but his efforts were in vain.

"Yeah, the right to remain silent and let us dress you up!" Janel said as they finally managed to put Jaune in a white dress with some yellow trim on the ends, while his hair was braided into two pigtails.

"Awww! Janette take a picture quickly!" Maria said to her sister as Janette pulled out her scroll and took multiple pictures.

"I hate you all." Jaune groaned in annoyance as he stood in the middle of the room in a dress.

"We love you too little brother," Jean said to him before hearing sirens coming from the village. The eight children look out the window and saw the village on fire, and people running and screaming in fear.

"Crap! Maria get the triplets, Olivia, come with me! Jaune and Joan, you know what to do. Operation: Code Red!" Jean yelled out as the Arc siblings quickly scrambled to their feet and went downstairs, with Jaune successfully ripping off the dress and freeing his hair.

"Is everybody here?" Roland spoke out as jasmine and the kids were all in the living room nodding.

"Ok good, Jasmine get the kids down in the basement while I help the town folks," Roland said to them while grabbing his armor and Thanatos.

"But we can help dad! Olivia and I can assist you to keep the village safe." Jean said trying to convince her father but Roland shook his head.

"No, the only thing you two can help me with is to protect this house, your sisters and Jaune." He told his daughter as he tried to leave the house.

"We're old enough to handle things like this dad, please, let us help," Olivia spoke out as she stood next to Jean giving each other a nod before looking at their father.

Roland sighed in defeat and frustration before looking at his two daughters. He knew that they were old enough and were close to graduation, but he was still their father. Roland called Evan told him that his two daughters were going to help him keep the people safe, before telling him to keep his daughters safe.

"I mean it, Evan! If I see a single scratch-" Roland was about to finish but got interrupted and Evan spoke out.

"I Promise on my life and my whole career of being your blacksmith Roland; I will keep them safe," Evan vowed Making Roland sigh before continuing.

"Alright, meet us at your shop," he said before hanging up and looking at his two oldest daughters.

"Ok, Jean, Olivia, you two will assist my friend Evan and protect the village. I'll take care of the Grimm outside the perimeter of the village. Do you understand?" Roland told them as the sisters nodded and got their gear ready. While Jean and Olivia get their gear on, Roland looks at Jaune. The young boy stares at his father with hope and awe as Roland smiles at him then walks towards him.

"Hey, Jaune would you do me a favor?" Roland said to his son as the man kneels down to Jaune's level and holds out Thanatos to him.

'You sure about this master? Once doing this, you will no longer be able to hear me?' Both Roland and Jaune heard Thanatos speak through the sash dart while the young knight was confused.

"Dad, what are you trying to do?" Jaune asked his father but before Roland could even respond he was cut off by a scream and window breaking coming from the living room.

Roland quickly turns towards the noise to see a Beowolf trying to break in but with a swift motion, Olivia's Claymore was planted into Beowulf's skull. Roland lightly loosened his muscles before turning back to his son. he doesn't have much time, he needs to do this Jaune was a little scared but he needs to be brave and help his family and make sure they are protected, Roland puts Thanatos in Jaune's hands before putting his giant hand on his head while the other holds his tiny hands with Thanatos then started to chant a ritual.

"He who holds this sash is the protector of all that is good and pure. I do not harm the innocent, he who harms the innocents has forgotten the face of his father. I do not shoot with my hand, he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father, I shoot with my mind. I do not kill with my sash, he who kills with his sash has forgotten the face of his father, I kill with my heart." Roland finished the ritual and see that his son is forming a bright white aura around him as Jaune opens his eyes to reveal that they are glowing as well.

'Child, your father has unlocked your aura and transferred me to you. You are now connected to me and can use my powers as you grow but right now I'm only gonna give you two percent.' Thanatos said to Jaune through his mind while Roland heads out with Jean and Olivia on his tail. Now it was just him and his five sisters and his mother.

"Well, this is gonna take some time getting used to but luckily I'm a fast learner," Jaune said aloud before his mom calls him from the basement. When Jaune was about to go downstairs he gets a text from Raina.

"Hmm? Raina, why is she texting me? Isn't she supposed to be at home?" Jaune said as he looks at the text. When he looks at the text he saw a pic of her behind a counter getting a glimpse of a beowolf looking around. Raina texted 'pls help, I'm scared Jaune...' which made the young sash welder heart drop to his stomach.

"Jaune, get in the basement now!" Jasmine demands but Jaune didn't move only to shake in anxiety and fear because Raina is in danger.

"Mom...Raina is in danger a-and she needs my help." Jaune told his mother but Jasmine shook her head no.

"No way! I'm letting you out there when there's a code red Jaune your friend will be ok as long as she hides, now come down here now!" Jasmine said to him which made him look at her with shock and disbelief.

"Mom, she's my only friend here in this damned village and only she understands what I'm going through ever since I was born! How can you say that to me when she's out there scared for her life Mom!" Jaune practically yelled at his mother for the first time ever in his life.

"I'm sorry mom but I can't leave her out there..." Jaune said to his mom before bolting for the door which made Jasmine scream in denial as she rushes towards her only son.

"Jaune don't!" Jasmine yelled out as she tries to reach him but Jaune suddenly vanishes. Jasmine was surprised with a mixture of shock that her only son vanished out of thin air before remembering that he has Thanatos now and became the new holder of the sash dart. Jasmine started to sob uncontrollably as she knew she couldn't do anything about it, fate has taken her only son away from her.

"JAUNE!" Jasmine gave one final cry as she roared his name before his sisters take her down in the basement and barricaded the door until they come back.

'You better keep him safe you pile of silk or I'll make sure that you will turn into a sweater!' Mrs. Arc thought as she sits down in the basement comforting her young children.


*With Jaune*

"Whoa!? How did I just do that?" Jaune said aloud as he is now on top of a roof of a house and looks back to where his house is.

'Hmm, it looks like you already know how to travel great distances at such a young age.' Thanatos said to him as the ancient weapon was impressed that his new master has achieved such progress.

"Well, whatever I did will help me reach Raina faster." The young sash welder said to himself as he runs towards Raina's house while avoiding nearby Grimm.

Jaune hides behind bushes so the Grimm can't see him while he inches towards Raina's house. He texted Raina back hopefully she put her scroll on vibrate and said 'Where are you?', Raina responded quickly saying she was at the flower shop that was behind her house. Jaune rushed over to the flower shop and quietly searches for Raina.

"Raina? Raina where are you?" Jaune whispered as he searches around the shop but couldn't see her.

"Jaune...?" A faint voice was heard near him and Jaune looked around to where it came from.

Raina, where are you? I came as soon as I can." Jaune whispered back as he searches for his childhood best friend while going in the direction where her voice came from.

"...un...der...the...coun..ter...floor..." Raina's voice sounded dry and distance as Jaune went behind the counter and found a hidden door underneath the floor.

Jaune opens the hidden door and was shocked and mortified when he saw Raina. Raina was covered in blood and is holding an apron against a wound on her stomach, cuts, and gashes all over her body as Jaune quickly tried to pick her up but every time he did she yells in pain, she covers her mouth to keep her from screaming too loud. Jaune was running out ideas as he tries to think of something quick before his friend dies of blood loss and other infections, soon Jaune looked at his shirt then at her before ripping it off. Tearing up his shirt into long sections to bandage up her wounds temporarily and help her ease the pain before trying to pick her up again.

"Ok Raina, your gonna be okay just stay with me alright? Just stay awake for me ok?" Jaune said to her as he carries her on his back with Thanatos wrapping itself around her to secure her to Jaune's back before trying to do his new ability but it wouldn't work.

"What? Why can't I do that traveling thing from before?" Jaune said aloud confused why it won't work.

'I believe that you can only travel great distances on your own. Carrying someone with you is too advanced for you and I can only give you two percent, if I give you anymore you will die. We are gonna have to walk master, it's our only choice if you want your friend to live...' Thanatos said to the young blonde as Jaune gave a frustrated sigh before taking a deep breath.

"Alright...let's just get her to safety..." Jaune said not liking the idea of speed walks back to his house in a middle of a Grimm invasion while his friend is slowly bleeding out on his back, yea no pressure there.

Not. One. Bit.


*With Roland*

Roland was holding down the frontline with other hunters as he decapitated an Ursa and bashes a beowolf with his shield. He then got a call from his earpiece, checked his scroll real quick to see it was his wife Jasmine. He accepted the call as it connected to his earpiece.

"Jasmine, what's wrong?" Roland said to his soulmate as he roundhoused kicks another beowolf before hearing her sniffling.

"Jas. sweetie what happened?" Roland asked again while he slices Grimm left and right.

"...Jaune...Jaune is out of the house Roland.." Jasmine said to him in a depressed tone which made Roland stiffen as he rips an Ursa head off.

"He went to help his friend Raina...Roland, please find him..." Jasmine said to him a desperate tone making Roland's heartache.

"I will Jasmine, I will find our boy," Roland told her with determination as he can feel her smile again.

"I know you will...Stay safe." Jasmine said to him with concern in her voice.

"I will, I promise and you know I never go back on my word," Roland said as he blocks a slash from an alpha beowolf before stabbing in it in the gut then cuts straight down letting all its guts fall out before ending the call.

"Come on Jaune, you know hearing your mother upset hurts me..." Roland sighed as he cleared the rest of the Grimm on the frontlines.

"Thanatos, keep him safe...Protect him like you protected me all those years ago..." Roland said aloud before goes on the search on finding his only son.


*Back to our blonde knight*

Jaune has been carrying Raina for a good 15 minutes and he starts to sweat and breathe heavy as he speeds walks through town trying not to get spotted by any Grimm roaming around. For a seven-year-old its difficult to carry another person for a long period of time. And every few minutes he shakes her a little to make sure she stays awake and doesn't fall asleep.

"Come on Raina, I need you stay awake for me a while longer okay?" Jaune said to her as he shakes her a bit making her whine.

"I know, I know, you're tired but you can't sleep just yet so when we get to the hospital you can sleep all you want," Jaune promised her as he sees a barricaded road near them and sees a glimpse of the hospital at the distance.

'Thanatos how far is the hospital if I keep a consistent pace?' Jaune asked the ancient weapon as the sash dart glowed dimly before responding.

'From my guess, I say about another twenty to twenty-five-minute walk.' Thanatos said to his master as the sash dart stopped glowing while Jaune continues to walk to the hospital.

While Jaune was carrying Raina he could feel something warm run down his back but he already knew what it was, as he can smell the metallic scent coming off of her before walking faster and securing her by tightening the sash dart a little bit. As he was walking the Grimm could smell the blood a mile away before a horde comes rushing towards the smell. Soon Jaune could feel the ground shake as he hears howling and roars coming in the distance and are getting closer. Jaune quickly picked up the paced and started to run to the hospital then heard some buildings behind him came crashing down making the ground shake violently before hearing a roar.

"Crap...Why must I have the worse luck on the planet right now?" Jaune groans in frustration as he thinks about why the world wants him to suffer while he sprints to the hospital.

"Come on Raina stay with me, we are almost there just stay awake for me ok?" Jaune told her as he holds onto her tightly and sees the hospital at the distance while seeing some hunters in the area.

"Hey! Help, Someone help!" Jaune yelled out as much as he could before tripping on debris and landing face first into the cold ground. This was enough to get the hunters attention and sees Jaune on the ground with Raina strapped to his back before rushing towards him until the horde Grimmimm coming closer.

"Grimm incoming!" One of the hunters yelled out as the rest of them readied their weapons as Grimm came in full force.

"Get the kids to safety while we will hold the Grimm at bay!" Another shouted as a group of hunters fought off the Grimm while a man and a medical team help Jaune get Raina to safety and medical attention.

"We're here Raina, we made it to the hospital you're going to be ok," Jaune said aloud as he tries to keep her awake as the medical team quickly and carefully try to get her off but Raina clings to Jaune for dear life.

"Raina?" Jaune asked her as he is confused about why is she still holding on, they made it to the hospital she's gonna be alright. Right?

'Master...I'm afraid she is not gonna make it...' Thanatos said to the young knight while Jaune undid the wrap and holds Raina in his arms as he sees a smile on her face.

"Jaune...thanks for being my friend...and I'm-" Raina was interrupted as Jaune covers her mouth.

"Don't...Don't you dare say another word.." Jaune said with tears slowly swelling up as he holds her in his arms.

"Jaune...we both know that I'm...not gonna make it..." Raina barely manages to speak as the medical team tries to he keep her awake and bandage her wounds up.

"No you are gonna make it, I promise you that, Arc's word," Jaune told her while he looks at the medical team trying to stop the bleeding of her wounds.

"She's losing too much blood we need to get her inside the hospital ASAP!" One person from the medical team said in a sharp tone as they try to pick Raina off the ground but a gunshot was heard and one of the medic people got shot in the head leaving many who were protecting shocked and horrified.

"SNIPER!" A Huntsmen yelled out before getting shot as well before everybody takes cover while Jaune is trying to understand whats going on.

"Kid! Come on, this way!" A man yelled out towards him while waving his hands towards him as Jaune sees him and Raina hiding behind cover.

'Quick master, move out of the way before you get shot as well!' Thanatos said in concern before Jaune runs toward them and dives into cover.

"Jaune..." Raina tried to speak but her throat was dry and worn when she sees a red dot moving up to Jaune's head.

"Save your energy, Raina they are gonna get us out of here," Jaune said to her oblivious that a red dot is crawling up his head.

'He's gonna die if I don't do something' Raina thought before summoning up all of her strength to move even though her whole body is in pain and saying stop but she can't, not when her best friend is in danger.

Raina slowly got on her knees and looked at Jaune getting ready to jump towards him. Then in slow motion, a gunshot was heard and the bullet of the sniper slowly comes out of the barrel, traveling slowly towards Jaune. But as the bullet flies through the air Raina got in the way and took the bullet hitting her lower back and coming out the side of her stomach. Time then went back to normal and loud screaming and roars filled Jaune's ear while catching Raina from the gunshot.

"R-Raina...?" Jaune was shocked that his childhood friend took a bullet for him and is now holding her bleeding out again.

"L-Looks like I...covered for you again crybaby..." Raina joked as she laughed a little before coughing up blood smiling looking into his blue eyes.

"Why...Why did you do that..." Jaune could barely speak out as he starts to cry seeing Raina slowly dying in his arms.

"Because...who else would have...done it..." Raina said to him breathing heavily as she has a few more seconds until she goes to the clouds.

"Promise me Jaune...promise me that you will...live and protect others like you did before," Raina told him as she grasps his hand while the young knight holds her hand tightly.

"How can I protect others if I can't protect my own friend..." Jaune said as he presses his head on her hands sobbing.

"Because I will always be with you Jaune...just promise me that you...will protect the others." Raina held out her left pinky finger for Jaune to seal the deal.

"I...I promise Raina...Arc's word." Jaune vowed as he hooks his pinky finger with hers making her smile before slowly closing her eyes and exhaling her last breath.

"Raina...Raina..." Jaune called her name but she didn't respond, he knew that she is gone now as he pulls her in and holds her in his arms shaking. Screaming with a mighty roar Jaune cried out in sorrow to have his childhood friend laying limp in his hands.
