"Alright *cough* *cough* who's still alive?" Junior asked looking over his club in ruins. He saw that most of his men were on their backs groaning from getting the utter crap beat out of them from the twins, who were now peacefully sleeping tied up in rope that Qrow had somehow found after being able to take them down, which wasn't an easy task even for Drunkle Qrow himself.
"I literally just got this damn place clean…" Junior spoke falling to his knees tearing up.
"Qrow? Where'd you even find all of that rope?" Ozpin asked.
"I have my ways with women." Qrow shrugged.
"I don't particularly like the way that was phrased." Aoi joked.
"Oh get that damn mind of yours out of the gutter Aoi, jeez." Qrow said.
"I'm just saying Qrow, I'm just saying."
"Um gentlemen?" Keep began, "where's Jaune at?" The five men began looking around through the rubble to find Jaune, worried that he might have died in the fight.
"Guys? Is um….. Everything clear out there?" Jaune finally spoke up from behind the bar.
"Oh thank goodness you're still alive, I thought all this pain was gonna be for nothing." Aoi said.
"N-no not yet... I'm still here." Jaune shaking.
Aoi walked over to the shuddering boy and placed his hand on his shoulder to calm him, "Alright, I think it'd be best to get some food and calm down a bit."
"R-right…" Jaune said.
The men all sat down at the bar, well at least what was left of it after the fight. "Could we all get a drink Junior?" Aoi asked.
"Yeah…. Boys, could you all get us some soda?" Junior said still crying about the damages.
"Actually could I get some alcohol?" Qrow asked.
"No, Qrow you don't need to be getting drunk in a time of distress." Aoi said in an angered tone.
"Look Aoi, I need a drink in a time of distress, and alcohol is the best remedy."
"Yes but alcohol is what ruins lives Qrow, I get it but you're an amazing fighter, but being a drunk isn't the best role model for inspiring huntsman."
"Jeez Aoi why are you always on my back, you're just like Winter sometimes."
"Winter tolerates me more."
The two huntsman began to argue back in fourth with one another while the others are a bit unsettled by their argument. "Um….. Professor Ozpin?" Jaune asked.
"Yes Mr. Arc?"
"Do they not like each other very much?"
"Let no, they get along quite well, but there are times where they….. Disagree with one another." Ozpin explained.
"Right,"
"They've known one another all the way back to their years attending Beacon as huntsman in training, Professor Aoi was a good friends with the members of Team STRQ, they've gone on many joint missions with one another, but Aoi and Qrow always had different points of view on certain situations, neither men are perfect by any means, Aoi has a tendency to 'go off the rails' when he's stressed. He has a short temper at times, and Qrow of course enjoys pushing his buttons, even when they were younger. Their arguments are out of spite of one another, but mainly Qrows way of messing with Aoi."
"Wow…. That's a bit harsh don't you think?" Jaune asked.
"It may be, but they've been friends for years, so it's a normal occurrence for those two." Ozpin stated.
Jaune had never seen his Professor act this way in such an angered tone, Aoi was always someone upbeat and easy to talk with when you needed help. Learning that he has short temper and can "go off the rails" makes Jaune wonder how much he really knows about his mentor. Does anyone in school really know that much about Aoi? Jaune thought, he never realized how little anyone knew about their Professor and thought that this hell he's been going through could be a way to learn more about someone he looks up to. "Mr. Keep? Mr. Junior?" Jaune asked.
"Yes?" Both men replied.
"Why did you two have favors to fill for Aoi? Like what exactly did he do before he was a teacher?"
Oz, Junior, and Keep all looked at one another wondering why he had asked the question, but it was interesting. "Well," Keep began, "Before he was a teacher and sometime after he graduated from Beacon, he worked at my store as a cashier and an errand runner, he, to be honest with you, wasn't the best when he started. I asked why him why he wanted the job and he told me that he wanted to get enough money to support his family that had done so much for him while he was attending Beacon. He was very shy and was quiet, he never had his own personality when he started, and it seemed as an odd personality since he was huntsman at the time. Over time he grew to be more outgoing on the job, but there was an incident that made me respect him much more and the reason why I wanted to repay him. It was a late night during the Summer, it was a bit humid and dry outside and our shift was getting longer and longer, right before we were about to close some thugs decided to hold up the place while I was at the cash register and I thought I was going to be a goner, I gave them what they needed but they said they didn't want any witnesses of any kind, so they decided they would kill me, before the bullet was shot Aoi lunged in with his sword and beat the utter living cow crap out of the thugs. He had been so angered that they'd have the audacity to kill someone they had robbed and was defenseless. He didn't kill any of them but beat them senseless until the police came, after it all he hugged me and began to cry, he told me that he was sorry how he acted, but he didn't want someone he had cared about so much over the years get hurt, I told him from that day forward if he ever needed me to do anything for him, all he needed to do was call."
Jaune took in all of this information really intrigued in what his Professor was like, also to get his mind off of the opportunity of his death. "Wow….. W-what about you Junior?"
Junior took a sip of his drink, "Well, he came to the club to hang out every once and a while, but he never drank any alcohol and always had sat at the corner of the bar by himself. I always came over to talk with him, he was a nice guy and we eventually got to know each other more and I liked him a lot, he became a regular. This bastard was always a jokester, one day this huge drunk guy was trying to hit on this girl and was being really disruptive to the whole dance club, I wanted to stay away of the life of getting violent but I wanted to get this guy out, I tried talking to him but he caught me off guard and got me into a chock hold and wouldn't let go, moments later Aoi comes in and apprehends this drunk and throws him to the ground and gives him a abosulte help of a verbal beat down telling him to never ever treat anyone the way he did and seeing him act like that was different then how I knew him while talking and I grew an inate fear that he could kill me in a second, I don't know something about how he acted that night has me very paranoid of him, he's still an amazing friend and I'm glad he asked for his favor finally after all this time."
Jaune wanted to know why Aoi has his moments of anger and how he's able to live with it, maybe I'll ask him about this once everything dies down. Jaune thought. Jaune enjoyed listening to the men learning a bit more about his mysterious mentor, while the men were talking Aoi and Qrow had ended their argument with laughter, it seemed they made some jokes about Taiyang and began teasing one another, they'd made up which was a nice sight as they walked over to the others in laughter. "Finally, you two are done." Ozpin stated.
"Yeah, we're good now, I remembered why I liked Aoi." Qrow replied.
"Oh please, I had the high ground the whole time, you couldn't stand a chance." Aoi said.
"Ha, alright, whatever you say A."
The men conversed on what the game play from here on out would be, but something lingered in everyone's minds, which Junior was the one to bring it to light. "Okay, I gotta get this off my chest real quick." Glancing towards Jaune, "So all of these women are literally throwing themselves onto you and you decide to not even come close to even slightly take advantage of it?" He said raising an eyebrow, "Like do you not want something like Kirito's harem? Or what?"
"I do admit, even though I am your teacher and mentor I am somewhat baffled by it too." Aoi said as the other men joined in with their interest.
Jaune began to blush a bit and started to rub the back of his neck, "Well it's nothing like that, so you see I have seven sisters and well I know how it looks and feels like to see a women pretty ticked off. And once this hopefully is all over the girls from the school will most defiantly kill me if I tried to take any form of advantage over them."
"So you're telling me that it's not so much that you don't want to, just that you know you'd get your ass beat you wouldn't be able to feel it?" Junior said grinning a bit, "Man would Torchwick kill to have a smart man like you on the bad side, speaking of Torchwick, did you guys past by him on your way here?"
"Oh yeah," Aoi began, "He involuntary saved us from the women earlier, but I think they killed him."
"We know Jaune is hiding in there, and Jaune's Harem will see him delivered upon us!" Ruby's voice rang out from behind the massive doors that led into the club. A number of loud explosions shook the room but the doors held firm.
"Yep, I think Roman died." Aoi said.
"Oh come on!" Jaune yelled.
"Don't worry girls, I got this." Yang's voice rang out from among the horde on the other side of the door, a massive crash could be heard as the blonde hit the door with all of her strength but it had stayed standing.
"Ha, take that!" Junior suddenly jumped up and pointed toward the door. "The best defense money could buy, Atlesian military-grade metal, not even the strongest yandere will be able to break that door! Only the best defense for my boys and my balls." he crossed his arms and a smug look came onto his face.
"Yeah, you tell her boss!" his men called out.
Team JOKAQ gave Junior an odd look from his statement and Junior had token notice, "She um… it's a long story." Junior confirmed.
"Right…" Aoi began, "Well I think it's- wait why did it get quiet all of a sudden?" he questioned.
Nora slammed her weapon against the doors and growled. "Come on you stupid door! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GO BOOM! NOW GO BOOM!"
"Nora, I believe it would do you well to be calm, we will find a way past this door and…" Pyrrha stepped out of the way as Yang flew forward from behind and slammed both of her fists against the door. "… Save our waifu."
Blake growled at herself and crossed her arms, "I should've attacked as soon as I saw them walk into Dust Till Dawn, I knew that shopkeeper was shady."
Ruby put a hand on her teammates back. "You made the right move, we have every girl from Beacon backing us up right now, and all we need to do is get the door out of the way." She turned toward Weiss. "What's the status of the door anyway?"
Weiss sighed and looked at it. "It's the best grade military armor in the world, I don't think there is anything we could do to get past it without destroying the entire block."
"Is that an option?" Nora asked with a grin. "Because give me a few minutes and enough explosives…" all of the girls turned to glare at Nora. "What? Just sayin" she crossed her arms and pouted, mumbling about how she never got to have fun.
Ruby cursed mentally and looked toward Yang. "Do you think you can build up enough power to punch through it?"
Yang sighed and stopped her assault, turning around to look at her sister with a shrug. "I can't really get any build up off of it; the shield absorbs all of the energy off my punches so I can't even get a buildup of kinetic energy from it."
Ruby growled under her breath, annoyed that her Jaune was so close but also blocked. Until an idea came to her mind. "So how much force do we need to destroy this door?"
Weiss shook her head. "Probably a single punch worth a few hundred tons. Maybe we could call One Punch Man?"
"We don't have that much time Weiss." Blake said with a frown.
"Wait a minute, I have an idea!" Ruby grabbed Yang and walked toward the waiting group of girls out on the streets, each ready and willing to strike. "Do you trust me?" Ruby asked Yang.
"Of course," Yang smiled at Ruby and put a hand on her shoulder. "I trust you more than anyone, well expect maybe Jaune, but that's because I am in love with him."
Ruby smiled and hugged her sister. "Love you sis," Ruby got behind Yang and pushed her into the crowd. "Hey everyone Yang got Jaune's first kiss and she is bragging about it!"
All of the girls froze and turned toward Yang with murderous intent, raising their weapons and stepping toward the blonde.
"Meep…" Yang gulped as they descended upon her.
"What in the world are they doing now?" Junior asked, looking through on of the security camera's on the outside as the group of girls started attacking Yang.
"Oh no…" Qrow began. "This'll be bad…"
"W-what do you mean?" Jaune asked now more terrified then ever seeing him in this state.
"Well you see Yang's semblance allows her to absorb attacks she gets from her well 'enemies' and it basically makes her stronger and stronger with each hit… so if she gets into a fight with a whole crowd of other fighters who will clearly land blows on her… Well you get where I'm going with this."
Junior gulped and unconsciously cupped his balls, "I don't know if I can continue to help you Aoi."
Aoi bitch slapped Junior, "Hei! You better not drop out now! We work together we die together! Get a grip!"
"R-right." Junior said.
"We need all the costumes you got!" Jaune shouted.
Yang drew in a few breaths as the last girl in the crowd fell unconscious. Her entire body was basically a huge bruise and the only thing that kept her from falling over was her lust for Jaune. Also the nuclear reactors worth of energy she was currently carrying around inside of her after fighting off an entire lovesick group of women. She was completely covered in flames, "Ruby?"
"Yes Yang?" Ruby asked, innocently tilting her head to the side.
"I get first dibs on Jaune, and we are making the new A Million Shades Of Yellow." Yang walked past the still standing girls, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Pyrrha, and Nora. She stood in front of the door with a grin and pulled back her fist, slamming it against the door with all of her force. A massive explosion on the inside and the doors flying off their handles inward proved the plan a success.
The group of six girls entered into the club only to find a number of already fallen mooks, two sleeping girls, and what seemed to be six men under a blanket that was half invisible….
"It may be a hunch, but I don't think this is gonna work." Qrow whispered.
