AN: The terror of Jaune Torchwick begins. I hope you're ready.
Ps. The chimichanga's have come. Oum have mercy on Beacon's souls...
Pss Many, many people, humans and faunus were harmed in the making of this chapter.
Hands ran through hair as flesh met flesh. Bodies intertwined as flesh and squeezed around itself. A sharp intake of breath was heard as one neared the end. The sound of flesh slapping against flesh intensified as two bodies became one. Hands gripped the bed sheets as the end as both bodies shook and spasmed. Shaking violently then collapsing into heaps of flesh and sweat.
"That was fun," Roman said as he laid there panting heavily next to the sweat wracked body of Cinder Fall. "You could say that." She said through panting breaths as her sweat wracked body looked up to him. Dear Our she was beautiful! Roman thought as he eyed his partner's body. Her long flowing raven colored hair was a mess. Flattened and matted with sweat as it clung jealously to her dripping body. As her perfect skin moved up and down as she breathed rapidly drawing Roman's eyes to the hourglass form of her body.
"My do you look good." Cinder stated as she licked her lips making Roman chuckle. "You're not so bad yourself," Roman added already knowing what was coming next. As she took a shocked stance. "Not so bad? Roman, are you mocking me? Because if you are, I must teach you some serious lesson about respect."
Roman laughed as Cinder put a bare leg over his chest, signaling she wanted more. She always wanted more, as he looked into that beautiful sweat covered golden eyes. Matted with damp black luscious hair. He felt his pace quicken as the woman he loved Cinder fall that was in his bed with him and there wasn't a place he would rather be in the world...
"THERE!" Cinder cried out loudly as she gripped Roman's shoulder nails bypassing his aura and digging deep into his flesh, as hot water poured down onto her as Roman held her tightly agist the tile slicked wall in the shower. It was later that morning, and Cinder was as insatiable as usual. As Roman held her smaller but incredibly appealing form. Relishing the feeling of her soft, perfect skin as he body shook with her climax. As he led her eyes closed.
"That was perfect Roman." She said in a calm, sultry voice as Roman merely shrugged and smiled brightly. "I aim to please."
"And you did. Now get out. I need to actually get clean, and with you in her, that is a distinct impossibility." Cinder chided as Roman stepped out of the small shower and into her apartment.
Water ran down his face as Roman lathered his hair. It was already morning and after a successful day night and now morning with Cinder he was finally enjoying getting the sweat off from last nights activities.
As he let the hot water roll over his skin making clouds of steam form in the shower, Roman grinned like a child. Here was a man with a perfect set of hair, chiseled abs, light green eyes and a winning smile showering after spending the night with the love of his life and the most beautiful woman on Remnant.
Roman had it gon on, a beautiful partner tow amazing children. On who was current enroll in the prodigious school for hunters Beeaon. And the other was currently moping with the Malachite twins about the loss of her brother.
As Roman lathered up his hair, he noticed out of the assortment of pink and purple cleaning products Cinder had in her shower there were only two the stood out to him. The hair conditioner, on the left, was the one Roman was supposed to us. It was two foot high dark purple bottle that made his hair smell like peaches.
On the right, however, was the pink bottle and the one exclusively reserved for Cinder's own personal use. It was alight pink bottle that Cinder had forbidden Roman from ever touching. She said she wanted him in one piece after all. As he looked at the bottle, he remembered a conversation from the past.
"How!? You're supposed to be dead!" The shacking cowering faunus man said as Cinder calmy walked out of the inferno that she was previously engulfed in. "My poor man, you see me and fire have how you say? Mutually beneficial relationship. You would need a lot more than that to kill me." Cinder cooed to the man who looked ready to wet his pants.
"But how!? That was white phosphorus! Ther's no way you should be alive!" "My dear, did you say white phosphorus? I thought I tasted something familiar in there. But no sir, you should know that when it comes down to your white phosphorous, I should let you know that I use stronger stuff as hair conditioner." Cinder said as she put a hand on the faunus head and began to incinerate him as Roman watched in awe.
"If you use this it will literally melt your face off. And I have become unreasonably fond of it as of late so don't." Roman remembered Cinders words as he put the conditioner down with a smirk.
"What a lady." He thought as he lathered his hair with the safe conditioner, the last time I checked Neo was with he Malachites drowning her sorrows in liquor flavored cream she'll be alright for some days. I wonder what Jaune is up to? Roman thought as he washed his hair in Cinders beyond luxurious apartments shower.
Ruby was not happy. As soon as miss GoodWitch had said the words begin, she had been expecting an epic battle to the death! Will not literally at least. As she landed her tenth strike on Jaune with her blades flat end, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Here she was expecting a great fight but instead she had been knocking around Jaune who seemed to be flailing around aimlessly since the battle began. As she speeds around what bothered her most was how he refused to draw his weapons!
That's it! If he doesn't want to fight, I will make him! Ruby thought as she turned a corner and started to spin and then-CLACK!
"AHHHHH!" Ruby cried as she felt the single most horrendous pain in her entire life shoot up her leg. The small girl cried out as her scream pierced the arena walls and into the stands drawing a "Ruby!" Form her sister as she cried in concern. As she looked down, she saw what looked like a large steel jaw had bitten into her right leg with the force of a Goliath.
As the small girl saw the massive silver teeth biting severely into her aura, she cried out as she looked up to see what looked like a flying pear? Come her way as the small green object soared to her face before it turned into a small sun and her world exploded...
Ren had been paying close attention to this fight form the onset. Ren like Ruby had also been curious about his leader's weapons and was interested to see what they were. His leader had yet to actually draw any weapons during their battle with the Deathstalker, and nevermore and Ren was curious to see what his leader used in combat.
Ren had zero ideas of the weapons Jauen would use, but the things in front of his eyes defied even his wildest expectations. And after growing up with Nora that was not something he said lightly. What he was not expecting was the type of weapons his leader used. "He fights with Bear traps and hand grenades!?" Ren said aloud as he had watched Jaune who seemed to be stumbling around aimlessly only to have subtly been laying silver almost see through bear traps throughout the arena.
Ren had almost not seen them they were so translucent, so it came as no surprise when Ruby did not see them. As the girls first pain filled scream wandered into the stand the entirety of teams JNPR and RWBY flinched in pain as Yang's eyes went red as her hair went aflame as a grenade exploded in her sister's face sending her across the arena.
As Ruby flew backward, Jaune instantly went to work. Come on Jaune you have to work twice as hard as her! You got no aura and everything to lose! He thought as he tossed two more grenades to the reaper causing her to fly careening backward in a pile of smoke. As she careened away only to scream in unspeakable agony as she fell back first into two more silver bear traps.
CLANK! The traps closed around the reapers arms making her cry in pain as two more traps affixed themselves to her body, one to her right arm the other to her torso as the metallic teeth dug into her soft flesh. 'IT HURTS! Ithurts!It hurts!Ithurts!" Ruby cried aloud as she failed to walk as the massive bear traps weighed her down, making her drop Crescent Rose with a loud clatter. Before she could move Jaune was in her face with a pistol drawn. Start low Jaune thought as he pulled the trigger.
"Pull out a pistol and shoot you right in the face!" Jaune's gun said as he fired three times into the girls face, BANG! The girl jerked and shook as the mag rounds depleted her aura. As she fell back eyes water in he flicked his gun around and instantly pistol-whipped her in the forehead.
WHAP! The sound of his pistol but smacking the tiny girls forehead reverberated through the arena as he hit her fragile head three times causing her eyes to explode into tears. He wasted no time to grab the girl by the death trap hanging behind her head.
About time she learned. Jaune thought as he grabbed her red cape and pulled it over her head. The girl shouted a muffled cry as he wrapped her head in her cloak. "I did say no capes," Jaune said as he wrapped her head tightly. As he did, he drew his combat knife and stabbed her not one not two but three! Times into the top of her head, each hit eliciting a harsh muted cry from the girl and making her aura drop to the yellow.
Jaune wasted no time gripping the girls head and smashing it into his knee grimacing as his bone met aura. As the girl cried in pain Jaune prepared to finish her off.
Using her hood as a base he pulled her forward by her collar, punching her in the throat opening her mouth as she gasped for air. He then deftly pulled the pin on a grenade in his vest before shoving it into her mouth. He slammed the object into the young girl's mouth eliciting a pain filled scream and terrified gasp from the girl. As the large foreign item was shoved into her before she could retaliate, he had once again wrapped her cloak around her head in a tight ball, forcing her to be temporarily incapacitated before he raised his right foot and proceeded to viciously Sparta kick her away from him.
The girl cried aloud as she tried to get rid of her hood trap as Jaune tuned around in one fluid motion ignoring her muffled cries for help, he needed a smoke. As he took a cigar from his back pocket sniffing it once relishing the scent. "Vacuoan fresh," Jaune said before he struck a match to his knife and lit it at the exact same time the grenade in the young reapers face exploded. Scratch! BOOM! The girl exploded just as he lit his cigar as she was blown back in a fiery explosion as her aura hit zero.
"Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here all week!" Jaune said as he bowed to the class as the ball of fire that was Ruby burned in the background.
" I do nights!" Jaune said before he had an epiphany. RUBY!? Jaune thought as he spun around to see a motionless flamming body on the other side of the arena floor. "Did I kill her!?" Jaune asked as he rushed to the devastated reaper who was lying on the ground...
"Are you alive!? Please be alive! I can't be here less than twenty-four hours with a body count!' Jaune shouted as he rushed to the silent form of the young girl. She was on her back cloak burning, and silver bear traps eating into her flesh.
As Jaune slide to her side, he instantly undid her hood, "Come on! Be alive! Be alive! Be alive and not paralyzed!" Jaune added remembering Roman's words. "While prayer usually is for fools, if you do find yourself at the mercy of a greater power pleading for aid it never hurts to cover your bases. Just like a business meeting!"
The others words rang true as Jaune undid her scarlet hood as he saw her face. Her eyes were spinning, and her body was bruised, her mouth lolled open dipping long strands of drool. Putting two fingers to her neck, a low moan escaped her body. She's alive!
Jaune thoughts he saw on the projector at Beacon that she had just a sliver of aura left, she literally had one percent of aura left. As she moaned she kicked her legs- and she's not paralyzed! Jaune thought happily as the girl began to stir.
"What happened?" Ruby asked as she finally had the wherewithal to open her mouth.
As Ruby opened her eyes to see the concerned face of Jaune in front of her. The last thing she remembered was shining light, sharp pain to her face my legs! She cried as her body was too drained to articulate the sounds so instead it went for the simple question. "What happened?" Ruby asked as Jaune sighed in relief.
"You were defeated by Mister Torchwick Miss Rose. Who used a rather unpredictable fighting style. Students! Pay close attention! Using strange and slightly unorthodox tactics in battle can lead to great rewards! Keeping your enemy surprised is not only a great way to win a battle but an excellent way to stop yourself from being so."
"Good fight mister Torchwick. Even if your fighting style was a bit unorthodox, you pulled through and prevailed in the end. And I guess that's what matters most doesn't it?" As she spoke Jaune had the distinct impression that Glynda GoodWitch did not want him in her school. For whatever reason...
"It sure does!" Jaune said as a memory took him, it wasn't that Jaune didn't want an aura unlicked it was more like he was purposely forbidden from having his released mainly because-
"Jaune's winning," Roman said as he watched his son fighting the Malachite girl Melanie. As she slashed at him with her large silver claw gauntlet. Jaune easily ducked out of the way sweeping her off her feet in the process, before delivering the pistol hits straight to her face sending her flying backward before he put a knife to her throat.
"Yield." The Malachite stunned sat their blind for a minute before she sighed and gave up. As Jaune helped her up, Roman felt a well of pride rise up in his stomach. Here his son was fighting an opponent with all the advantages; she had everything on him. Better weapons, better armor, more training, and most importantly she. Had. Aura. And Jaune still won.
As he helps the girl off the brown floor of the combat club, Roman took his kids to spar at. Neo teleported down to her brother's side hugging him carefully as she helped him walk.
"My he has potential." Cinder cooed as she watched his son with her golden eyes flaming. She had paid especially interest to Jaune's combat training for some reason. She said she found something attractive about his fighting. The skill, the speed, the brutality of force. She cooed to Roman as he smirked at her. He knew his son was good and Cinder did too. That's whys she had personally requested that Roman not unlock Jaune's aura.
At first, Roman was shocked, utterly wrong-footed by her decision. After initially calming down, this was Cinder, after all, she never did anything without reason.
When confronted with this her reason was simple. "Jaune was like a sharpened knife. Edges sharp and fine, his skill almost unparalleled in subtlety and force. I want him to continue developing as he is. And if we unlock his aura he might grow dull. Complacent in his newfound security." You see in this world there were people with their aura unlocked and there were people without it unlocked. And when the two clashed the one with their aura unlocked always wins. But not here, as Cinder watched the boy Jaune clash and triumph! Over aura users it was unprecedented it was unfathomable it was how sill a force had not seen her entire life, it was a skill she would not let go to waste, it was a skill she would cultivate and mature so it would serve her and her alone.
She argued that unlocking his aura might make him relax and that the reason for his skills being as refined he was quite literally fighting for his life, with no margin for error. Cinder saw that had made him so strong. And if he unlocked his aura this might diminish his skills, and were that to pass well that would be a waste and Cinder did not waste...
As Jaune walked out of the area after the remaining member of team RWBY, specifically the WBY came to check on their downed lear. Weiss and Blake rushed past him while Yang shot him a menacing he strode out of the area, he could already hear calls of support form his team.
"WOOHOO! GO, FEARLESS LEADER!" Nora yells Jaune walked up to his times a shit eating grin on his face, today he was tested, and Jaune past with flying colors. Hunters could be beaten; their aura helped them, and it made no difference. Jaune fought one and won handily. He fought smarter, faster and more desperate and he had won. As he looked at his trusty weapons on his sides he was glad his strategy worked out. It was like Roman always said the number one way to win fights is to keep the enemy guessing.
Have as much weaponry of a varied amount as possible and be ready to use them all proficiently. After all a jack of all trades but master of none will always beat a master of one. Jaune repeated his own mantra silently in his head. As a shit eating grin broke his face as he walked back to his friends. As Nora cheered, Ren bowed his head and Pyrrha shot his cigar from his mouth, now the terror of Jaune would begin...
Jaune was unstoppable, in the three weeks since he had beat en Ruby in the arena, he not only was he a terror of blades and bombs Jaune was unbeatable... cue the montage...
"Stand still Torchwick! I-AH!" Weiss screamed as another hand grenade exploded behind her. Sending her flying forwards in a mass of fire and shrapnel. She had to wrangle herself in mid-air narrowly avoid the inhumane amount of beartraps on the ground as she flew forward. CLANK! "Myrenister!"
Weiss cried as her cherished weapon was caught int one of Jaune's many, many, MANY! Bear traps, as she slid forward to the sword, gripping the hilt casting several glyphs as a shadow fell over her face like a wrecking ball as a pistol but crashed into her face, making it explode in pain as her vision saw stars and sending her aura into the red and her body slamming into the ground. "Winner Torchwick!" Glynda said as Jaune stood confidently over the defeated heiress pistols in hand. Spouting a cocky smile as she glared daggers at him. "Torchwick I swear to Oum above if you-
"Good fight Weiss! I'd say you should you should chill out but as I snow, you already know, you are already snow cool! Snow angel!" He said making her slap her face in annoyance. That doesn't even rhyme! Weiss cried internally as she fought the urge to stab him in his Achilles' tendons. Why is he so infuriating! Weiss thought as Jaune pulled her up. At least he's a gentleman about it...
Damn it! Ren thought as he was blown away by another deadly pistol shot. He was already trepidation about his first fight with Jaune. Seeing how the boy had a plethora of seemingly never-ending weaponry at his disposal. Ren knew this fight would be a hard-fought battle and one he would probably not win but he had to fight. As he eyed Jaune he had studied him over the past few weeks and come to a sobering conclusion. Jaune was a monster.
He used an ever-expanding arsenal of strange and exotic weaponry and he refused to fight fair. He used every underhanded trick in the book to him. He swept legs, poked eyes, threw dust, split ankles, head-butted, stunned, he even once tasered Cardin in his testicles. A maneuver that had forced Ren to have some sympathy for the bully. Not even bullies deserve that. Ren thought as he eyed Jaune, he knew he was a massive disadvantage in his fight and Jaune knew it as well as he flashed that shit eating
Not even bullies deserve that. Ren thought as he eyed Jaune, he knew he was a massive disadvantage in his fight and Jaune knew it as well as he flashed that shit-eating grin he always wore when he knows something you didn't. At that moment Ren never wanted to punch somebody's teeth as hard or as often as he did his leader.
Ren eyed his cocky team leader who still sported that same pure white tuxedo who flashed him an infuriating grin and Ren charged. He knows from experience that Jaune could out shoot him for days but what about up close?
Ren had been watching Jaune's arena fights for days and was now aware of the strange circumstance that Jaune never seemed to want to get involved in melled combat.
Sure he used it to end the fight but he never really seemed keen on just rushing in and attacking. Preferring to set up traps and wait for you to work yourself out before delivering the coup de grace.
As Ren charged him, he was hoping that his sudden burst of speed would at least put him on the backfoot but to his incredible surprise and growing frustration Jaune merely smiled and charged him back.
"Let's see how you handle this!" Ren said as slashed upward with Storm flower just as Jaune brought two large knives out fo his tuxedo. CLISH! The blades clashed as sparks flew out from their meeting as Ren effortlessly disarmed the boy. He's so weak! Ren thought as he knocked the blades out of his leader's hands. There's no way somebody in combat school should be so soft! Not if they have their aura unlocked! Ren thought as he disarmed his leader in one strike.
"HA! Now I- CLISH! Before Ren could talk another pair of blades magically appeared in Juanes hands. As Ren still shocked the speed of their appearance easily disarmed those as well before charging at his leader again. Now back to- CLISH! Another pair of blades appeared in the blonde's hands as Ren disarmed him a third time before- CLISH! Another pair of blades, CLISH! Another pair of blades, CLISH! "Where do they keep coming from!?" Ren shouted as he disarmed the blonde for the eighth time before he opened his mouth. "I got blades for days!" Jaune said confidently before finally breaking Ren's attacks and slammed the two metal swords into his face.
Ren staggered backward as he moved to fire on Jaune only for the blonde to suddenly be in mid-air about to deliver a flying roundhouse kick to his face with two pistols replacing the blades in his hands. As he left dodged Ren's bullets. "Evades and more!" Jaune said before he kicked and fired into Ren's face into the floor before shotting him thrice sending him flying backward with his aura in the red.
"I'll kill you!" Yang shouted as she strode forward. Both of her legs ensared in multiple silver bars traps as her eyes glowed red. "Really? Kill me? I find that hard to believe honestly you know? It's not that I don't think you could!"
"I mean you can but just not now, I mean look at you! You have almost no aura left, three bear traps on each leg and one in your hair!" He said pointing to the real cause of the girl's anger as one massive bear traps were currently caught in Yang Xiao-Longs hair. Trapping her golden Maine as she struggled to go forward pulling her beautiful scalp back and revealing a tempting target.
"I'll kill you Torchwick! Just wait till I get my- VEEERRTTT! Whatever threat Yang was about to make never happened as Jaune walked up to her struggling form and slapped a wad of duct tape on her mouth WHAP! The blonde girl's eyes went wide as her voice was cut off thanks, to the piece fo plastic now resting comfortably on her mouth.
"Much better, now I know you wanted to quit but sheesh! There's' no reason to yell! But I must say if you wanted to end this fight so badly! I would be happy to oblige you." Jaune said as he pulled out a grey wad of plastic explosives and slapped it on her head.
The girl's eyes widened in fear as Jaune slapped the explosive bomb onto her forehead as a red 10 flashed on the screen. 9.. 8... 7... Yang made to scream before Jaune hushed her.
"Chill out Sunny D! You need to think ahead of every once in a while, or you will end up getting burnt." 6.. 5... 4... Jaune said as he leaped backward as the timer hit 0 and the device exploded send Yang flying backward in a tumble of limbs. "Winner Torchwick!"
You know Cardin for such a big guy you really need a better mace you know?" Jaune asked as he stared at the slumped form of Card Winchester who was barely breathing with several burns and scorch marks through his whole body. As he stared down to him, Jaune sat comfortably atop the man's mace which he had stood up for a better seating position and was now using it as an improvised stool as he stared down to him. "Torchwick! I'll! Get you!" Cardin spat before he coughed once and passed out on the ground.
"What waste," Jaune said as he stood up letting the mace fall on the boys head with a resounding THUD! knocking the boy out cold as he walked away. "Winner Torchwick!"
Jaune-Jaune look out!" Nora cried before slamming her hammer Magnahild into the arena floor where had leader once been standing.
"Not so fast Nora! We can't have you swinging that thing around can we?" Jaune aksed with cheerful smile one Nora returned twice as hard.
"Just try and stop me!" Nora shouted she fired her hammer and flew toward him. Thre.. Two. One.. Now! Jaune thought as he reached back one arm and tossed... Nor couldn't help herself but sing as she flew in a pink flowery burst like a neon-colored meteorite of sugar and pain on a crash course to her leader.
"I'll smite you down! "I'll clean your clock! I'll bust your tux! I'll- KAPEHF!?
Nora's words were interrupted as she was suddenly and rather violently ripped from mid-air and brought crashing down to the floor. As she coughed loudly on her back she looked down to her neck was a thin metal wire was wrapping itself tightly around her throat.
As she fought to breathe as the metal wire began whirring as it cut off her circulation, As Nora looked down she saw it was a long metal wire with three silver balls hanging off of it. It was a bola, and each metal ball had a rapidly depleting red timer on them. "Oh, crud!" Nora said before she exploded in a ball of fire and was sent flying away. "Winner Torchick!"
Blake, you do realize I will run you over in this Zamboni right?" Jaune aksed the currently tied up faunus girl who was struggling meekly to get away from Jaune was he casually rode the large Zamboni in the combat arena.
She was currently on all fours tied up due to Jaune beating her with own weapon and then turtle shell bondage the poor girl before he aimed a swift strike to her exposed and rather plump rear end. Tha strike and subsequent MARROW! From the girl in question had earned him an impressive jiggle of the Arc booty as well as a fierce glare from GoodWitch and a burning one from Yang. And also to his surprise, a slightly piercing and quite disturbing glare from his partner as he rode the Zamboni after the struggling faunus.
"Where did he get a Zamboni!?" Pyrrha asked aloud as she watched her partner chased the poor faunus girl with it.
She swore that just one second ago he was beating Blake handily before tying her up and much to Pyrrha's chagrin spanking the poor girls bottom with the flat part of Crocea Mors. As Miss GoodWitch glared and Yang seethed. Pyrrha felt a pang of envy at the girl.
"Why can't I tie him up!? I'll be sure to spank him extra hard when the time comes." Pyrrha thought silently as her more darker thoughts reached the surface as she stared at her blonde partner. As her thoughts and utterings gained an increase in pitch and tone a dark, malevolent aura surrounded Pyrrha's body as she whispered things like "He's mine!"
"Don't you touch him!"
"Soon it will be you who is tied up and in my clutches no less Jaune!"
"Just you wait! By the end of the semester, you'll be handcuffed to my bed and..." Pyrrha mumbled vehemently causing everyone one within ten feet of her to scoot away in fear.
"That can't be legal!" Yang shouted as he looked at miss GoodWitch for some support.
"There is nothing against riding a Zamboni after an opponent in the rule book. How he got down into the arena much less the school without anyone noticing is another issue altogether, but there is nothing truly against it. I Checked." Miss GoodWitch said as she put down the rulebook.
"You are going to get run over by a glorified street sweeper! In like ten minutes!" Jaune shouted to the girl as GoodWitch sighed once turning her head and leaving the poor faunus to her fate...
"Now tell me what's a pretty thing like yourself doing in an arena like this?" Jaune asked the prone form of the bunny faunus Velvet Scarletina who laid face first on the arena floor. Both her feet hogtied to her hands as she laid on the ground.
"Owwwww please let me up." She said as Jaune looked to her downed form. "Oh but of course! I could never keep a beauty such as you waiting!" Jaune said as he helped Velvet to her feet as miss GoddWitch called the fight for him.
"Thanks for the compliments but you don't have to keep lying to make me feel better you know? I know you're just trying to be polite and thank you! It's just you can be honest with me you know?" Velvet asked the strange first-year boy in the white tuxedo who had just wiped the floor with her. He used a spread of neigh invisible bear taps to hound her into a corner ber trigger a snare that tazed her body sending her aura into the red. Where or how he set up that snare she would never know as the strange undefeated boy looked up at her with a look of confusion on his face.
"My dear I may be a liar by nature but I would never lie about a woman's beauty!" Jaune said as Velvet blinked once before narrowing her brown eyes at the human.
"Listen Jaune I said it's ok. You don't have to keep pretending that you find me attractive alright?"
"Velvet I am not pretending when I say you are attractive. You are easily one of the most beautiful women at the school if not the city of Vale." Jaune said as the girl's eyes became piercing.
"Jaune I'm a faunus! And I am sick and tired of humans saying nice things like that only to take them away or trick me!"
"Velvet I assure you when I say you are one of the most beautiful people in this school I mean it. Your eyes are like dark chocolate, while your voice reminds me a soothing honey. You carry yourself with a dignity and grace that is years beyond yourself and the way you treat others especially the ones who are cruel to you deserves respect."
Jaune said as he immediately stepped into Roman Torchwick woman impressing autopilot mode! AKA don't let Cinder murder me or my entire family. A mode he went int whenever conversing with the opposite gender. It had been used to much in his life it was like second nature and now it was working as the rabbit fauns blushed fiercely as her eyes went str up and her foot thumped adorably against the ground.
"Yor really mean that?"
"With all my heart."
"You really think I'm beautiful?"
"Of course, you are kind, courteous and forgiving and it is nothing but a minor miracle the fact that I can keep my eyes on your face when the rest of you is so perfect." Velvet snickered at his corny lines as her foot thumped nervously.
"If you really mean that here's my scroll number. If you're not doing anything thrusday how about lunch just me and... you?" She asked shyly as Jaune bowed to her taking her hand and kissing the top of it gently making her blush and grin.
"I'd love to," Jaune said as the rabbit faunus grinned.
"It's a date!" Velvet said as she walked away smiling broadly. what had started out as an embarrassing thrashing from a freshman turned into a win in the most unexpected of ways. As she held her scrool to her chest this was her first real date in ever. And she hoped it would lead to something more, as she left th are on thoguhtenter her mind. I need to find Coco! She thoguht as she dashed out of the arena.
As Jaune watched the beaufti faunus girl walk away he suddeny felt an overwhelming and terrifying fellling of dread wash over him. As he gripped his pistols and scanned the arena. For some reason, a voice in the back of his head was screaming at him to be on the lookout for stray, Javelins, Parasols, Gun-scythe abominations, girls with gauntlets on their hands and strange swords on ropes that have no businees existing in the laws of physics. "I must be imagining things." Jaune said to himself as he walked out of the arean witha grin on his face before focusing on the brighter pars of life. "I can't wait to tell Neo I got a date! She'll be so happy for me!" Jaune said quietly as he exited the arena floor.
As the groups sat down on the table, Ren was already regretting coming to lunch. Juan had not only won every single one of his arena fights. He did so completely and utterly flawlessly.
He never even took a smidge of damage. Ending every fight with a full aura bar and an enemy deep in the red if there at all. So far only Nora and Yang and come close to hitting the bone and even then he always managed to evade and or distract them long enough before he ended the fight.
The only other person with a record that came close to Jaune's was Pyrrha's how was also undefeated, but unlike Jaune, she took a hit or two in the process making him technically the stronger opponent and number one in the record boards in Beacon.
While this was a sensible move on the teacher par he was devasting the area Ren could see Pyrrha's eye light up with competitive fire he never know she had. Guess she wasn't a winner for nothing.
He mused as the partner of his leader stared at him with a burning fire. That unlike Yang's equally burning gaze was not of a rival but frustrated and secretive passionate love. Although it would not remain that way for much longer.
Ren knew his leader and partners confession was coming soon, only then would their strange flirty awkward talk end. Until the Ren would have to deal with the worst part of his leader's personality. You see not only did Jaune win his arena matches flawlessly and with style, but Jaune also did something that infuriated Ren to no end. You see not only did he win. Jaune. Talked. Shit.
"That was a helluva match Weisscream! You almost had me for a moment, but as always you stood snow chance!" Jaune said as Weiss nearly stabbed the blonde through The table. The only thing stopping her from attempting to eviscerate the blonde and keeping her passive was the fact that she knew Jaune probably had the whole damned thing rigged with C-8 plastic explosives or some other equally deadly hazard.
"Oh come on now! Don't give me that face Snowangle! I mean look at Yang! She takes her beatings with a smile!"
"Watch it Torchwick!" Yang gowled as Jaune grinned.
"Oh? Is something the matter dragon blossom? I thought you like the comedy gold that I gave out for free? You know if you asked me I was always kind of punny!"
Jaune said as the girl nearly broke the table in half she was gripping it so hard. "What's the matter? Were your last trips to the ER not hot enough for ya?" He asked as the girl broke the table with her fist.
"Go Jaune! you tell me how you kicked their buts!" Nora said making Jaune grin.
"Oho! Nora! You are one to talk! After all isn't your neck still feeling the aftershock of the bola attack?"
" It! Was! AWESOME! We need to fight again!" Nora said loving the insult comedy her lead gave as Jaune shifted into the chaotic neutral pantheon he and Nora both so lovingly embraced. As the two teenagers practically kept each other alive concerning raw energy and boundless supplies of insults, practical pranks, and sheer unpredictability.
"That's the spirit! You see that guys! You all need to be more like Nora! Get some spirit!"
"Yeah, Renny! Just because you got Lieked in the combat area doesn't mean you have to be so grumpy about it!" Nora teased her friend making him growl as he wondered if there was a way he could kill a man with a spoon.
"Now this just one mo- Ruby! I almost forgot you were here! You keep hiding yourself behind that cloak, but it's like I always say! You can't keep the most beautiful things in the world hidden! Especially when there's two of them!" Jaune said making the girls face tun the color of her cloak as she babbled incoherently before blushing and turning into her hood.
"Don't be shy Ruby! You did great int he arena! You were adorable and cute- "I was not!" Ruby shouted as she could barely contain her embarrassment as she felt her heart pinch and cheeks flush at the bald-faced compliments she was getting. Form her not so secret crush, or as she called him her strange best awkward pinching feeling in her heart friend.
"You say that now but with a face like that it says you like the words coming out of my mouth," Jaune said making the girl give an indignant yell of "I do not!" As she hid behind her cloak.
"Jaune leave Ruby alone." His partner said with a hint of jealousy that Ren saw clear as day, but Jaune missed entirely. For being so perceptive on an arena fighter, he lost a lot of human emotion.
"How could I forget!? The most amazing partner and most beautiful woman o the planet and future wife if I'm lucky right?" "Sto that!" Pyrrha said happily before landing a hard smack on Jaune's back sending him flying face first into his burger. "Oww that hurts!" Jaune said before slowly getting up.
"Your aura will heal you," Pyrrha said smugly as she twirled her hair happily. As Ren saw the girl blush form the compliments, he noticed something odd. Jaunes recovery time when he did take some type of damage was exceptionally high... It was almost like Jaune took more damage for some reason? And his time to get back up was far too long for anyone with an aura to have... I wonder what's wrong with him? Ren thought as he looked at his leader as they ate lunch.
"What a perfect day! I got to fight in the arena! I got to beat hunters in training, and I-" Jaune paused as he heard the sound of rushing foot in the Beacon hallway.
AN ambush? Was Cardin trying something again? Not that Jaune was concerned in the slightest by a potential trap by anybody here in Beacon as he grabbed his pistol whose internal scanners and sensors instantly picked up on the threat. As the gun let it's opinion be known. "I say let them fight! All these bitches are pre-madonnas anyway!"
His pistol sang as the familiar voice of Millita Malachite entered the hallway. "They might bring the noise, but we bring the pain." His knife said calmly and collectedly as the sound of Melanie's cool voice entered the hallway as well.
"I agree, I thought after the last time I sent him to the infirmary- Juanes words were interrupted as he saw slammed into and tackled by the clumsy cat faunus Blake Arc.
"Jaune I need your help!" Blake said as she straddled the blonde making him raise an eyebrow.
"Look, Blake, I find you attractive too but if you to do this shouldn't you at least buy a guy dinner first?" Jaune said to the girl who was becoming painfully aware of their compromising positions as her face turned bright red as jumped of him with a frightened MERROW!
"That's not! I didn't!" Blake began to stutter before Jaune not wanting to cause the cat girl to have a sudden seizure hushed her.
"I Know you didn't come here for that so what's up Blake?" Jaune asked the girl as she blushed fiercely as she tried to hide her face in the corner of her trademark black bunny hoodie.
"Well, you see, I don't know how to say this but!" Blake stuttered to herself and mumbled incoherently causing Jaune to sigh.
"Just say it, Blake. I'm not going to get mad at you or anything. Unless you insult me or something, but I doubt you can. I've never seen you give somebody a mean look let alone insult them." Jaune said as he stared at the cat faunus.
"So tell me what's wrong? Is Cardin bullying you because you are a faunus again? You know I'll kneecap him for you right?" Jaune said as he stared at the cat faunus.
"Your the strongest person here and I would like you to train me! Please! I'm not good enough right now! And I'm a burden to my team! I came to be a strong hunter, but I'm just dragging them down... I can't go to my team for help, there already busy with their own classes and training, so I can't take their to help me-
"So you thought you'd take time away from my training instead?"
"That's not what I meant! It's just you are the best at Beacon. At least in the first years. Jaune, please! I'm tired of being a burden the one everyone looks ours for. I don't want to be the girl stuck in the tree that everybody has to take time out of their schedules to save! I want to do better; I need to do better so help me? Please?
Jaune sighed he knew why this was happening. He was undefeated in their duels, and Blake was not. She had entered the combat arena twelve times so far. And she had won three. She was quick on her feet, and she had a strong semblance with aura unlocked. All good things but that's where the good times stopped. Despite her inherent good combat qualities Blake also had many, many negative ones.
She was clumsy, ill-coordinated, unfocused and didn't know how to swing her sword worth a damn! She never knew how to attack or when to defend at the proper times, and her stance was all over the place! And worst of all she couldn't take a hit to save a damned life! I mean come on! Not knowing how to use her sword was one thing but not knowing how to take a punch then recover?!
Who trained this girl!? At this rate Jaunw was getting suspicious that she didn;t even go to combat school and she did something ridiculous like forge her transcripts to get her into Beacon! But then again that would be ridiculous.
Jaune looked a the golden pleading eyes of the adorable cat girl and sighed. Despite every Voice in his head telling him not to he knew what he was going to do. Not let a girl cry...
"Ok, meet me on the roof in an hour and then we can -
Yay, thank you so much! I promise you won't regret this!" Blake said as she happily hugged Jaune who sighed once.
I know I will. Jaune thought tiredly as the cat girl hugged him tightly...
This was not going as planned as Blake ended up on the ground for the twelfth time in a row.
"Come on Blake you got to work on your stance!" Jaune said as the girl huffed once before standing up. Her body was already shaking under the pale moon's light while the cool Vale air blew past them, she had truly trained herself to the bone since coming out and her determination was rather impressive. It was their first night on the roof, and Jaune was already putting her through her paces.
"You need to be unpredictable! I mean come on! You have a teleportation semblance and you can't even surprise me!" Jaune said trying to get an emotional reaction from the girl. He had been trained like this too.
By Roman obviously, almost all of his direct combat training came from Roman the man may be a lot of things but he knew how to train a man. First, you get a look at their skills; then you put them through the ringer. Go hard on them don't let them get the easy way out. After you get a solid base of their skills, you then make them angry.
Most people hold back even in fights. It's in human nature apparently, and unfortunately, you can't get a good look at people if they are keeping themselves in check so you got to get them out of check.
And to get people out of check, you get them angry. Get them mad make them show you their true selves then you can get a real fight out of them.
"Come on Arc! Is that really the best that you can do? I thought your family was one of respected warriors, not scardey cats! Or did that skip a generation?" He asked Blake as she hissed in irritation before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"Where are you... where are you... where are-aha! There!" Jaune said as he blocked a strike from Blake before catching her sword in his knifes blade and sending her sprawling to the ground.
"I can't take this!" Blake yelled as she laid tied up in her swords strange and clearly unnecessary rope. I mean come on! She literally tied a rope to her sword because it looked cool! Who does that!?
"Yes, you can now get up," Jaune said before a particularly Neo-ish idea came to his mind as he stared at the exposed rear end of Blake.
WHAP! Jaune smacked Blakes behind using Crocea Mors making the girl hiss in surprise and anger. MERORAW! She hissed as she shot up three feet in the air.
"What was that for!?"
"You were being a pessimist and taking to long to get up. I need you moving so you can train alright?" Jaune said as he walked around the violently blushing girl.
"Don't spank me!" Blake said shrilly as Jaune saw the red blush that was now spread across her face. Did she like it? Jaune thought as he eyed her up and down.
"Then don't let yourself get spanked then," Jaune said evenly as the cat girl got angry as she hissed violently barring her fangs at him before disappearing.
"There we go much better," Jaune said as Blake renew her attack with a vigor he had never seen. She teleported in and out of reality leaving behind several clones at once. Before she would appear at semi Random angels to attack Jaune all at once.
He smiled she was using her true power. Using her semblance to created a distraction before attacking him with all her might. Now they would get a true fight.
Well, as true as one can be with such varying power levels. Even at full strength, Blake was no match for Jaune. It wasn't even close. As the faunus attacked again and again only to be tossed to the ground each time tangled up in her own rope and given a firm WHAP!
To her bottom eliciting an angry MEROAW! From the girl and making her face burn red as Jaune sighed as he saw her plump rear end jiggled with the force.
This happened for half an hour or so as Blake gradually got better. Jaune was about to call it seen how the girl was nearing total collapse as she fell face first again. Sighing he decided to not let her go easy as he gave her one last WHAP! Putting extra force behind his swing as he smacked her rear end.
This time, however instead of an indignant screech he got a softer purring noise from the girl as she gave a soft Merow... To him as she ground her rear on his sword as the word harder escaped from her mouth before her hand shot up to cover it.
"Did you say harder?" Jaune asked as his mouth dropped open and the faunus face turned cherry red.
"She did indeed say harder."
"Oh my god she enjoys it." Jaune's weapon said as Blake went red as the weapons spoke. While his gun and knife usually kept a cool head all of his friends knew about his sentient weapons and their rather sharp tounges. Especially Yang who was a personal favorite target of his pistol and the two had developed a rivalry of sorts.
"N-n-n-NO! I didn't say harder! That's ridiculous! Why would I want you to spank me!? Even if you did hit hard..."
"Oh my god you're a masochist," Jaune said as the faunus paled.
"A-a-a what!?"
" You like getting hit." Jaune dead paned her as a light bulb flashed in his brain.
"I told you she was kinky. She's a real kinky kitty you know? It's always the ones you least expect you know?" His pistol said as it hung from his side its body glowing crimson in the bright moonlight.
"At least she figured it out now and not later you know? If she learns about her fetish now she can deal with it in a healthy manner!" His knife said as it's blue hilt glowed from his pocket as the Faunus's ears went flat and she let out a weak mewl.
"Ok, Blake how about this. If you can block three hits from me I'll spank you deal?" He asked as the girl turned crimson.
"I already said I don't like that stuff!"
" *Cough!* Bullshit!" His pistol said as it put it's two cents into the conversation.
"And Neo doesn't like tri-colored ice cream."
"Who's Neo?"
"My older sister."
"You have a sister!? I have seven!"
"Wow... That's... anyways if you block three hits I'll spank you ok? Or let you walk either way let's call it a night after this ok? My teams probably worried about me and the last thing we need is for Pyrrha and Nora, or Oum forbid Yang, to walk in on me bending you over on the rooftop you know?"
" Don't say things like that! And I already said-
Blake never finished that thought as Jaune charged her, he gave the girl no time to react as he was swinging his knife down full force in a downward arc. Huh? Arc to an Arc?
Do you get it? He thought as the girl barely blocked with her long sword. He instantly swung at her midriff with a reverse blade thrust as the used her pommel to stop it. As she swung down he brought his knee up to check her open stomach, just as she blocked it with her rope.
"That's three!" Jaune said as Blake smiled proudly golden eyes flickered with pride before he punched her in the face making her fly backward. "A fight isn't over till somebody is knocked out or dead."
He said as Blake mewled in pain. "Ok Blake good work out there! You want to train again just tell me until then I'll be in my roo-
"Wait! You said you'd do something..."
Blake said barely having the courage to speak as Jaune neared the door know leading back to the school.
"Huh? But I thought you didn't like it when I spanked you?" He asked already knowing where this conversation was heading.
"See I told you she was a kinky kitty."
" Oh stop that! Let her be! She's trying to talk!"
"I didn't- I DON"T! It's just... It's just... I am an Arc and an Arc keeps their word no matter what! And you said you would do something so you should do it too!" Blake said as Jaune smiled to her.
"I also said I would let you go if you wanted so what is it? Do you Blake want me to spank you or do you want me to just go?" He asked as the faunus was quiet for several long seconds ears twitching wildly as they were bated in the moons cool light, she stood still as a statue before she calmly walked forward and adopted a kneeling position. Presenting her bottom to him
"Please hit me. Sensei." She said quietly as Jaune sighed to himself "This is so weird." He thought as he raised his sword and prepared to bring it down...
As Jaune finished rewarding Blake a thought came to his mind. We can have our aura unlocked at any time. And it would do nothing but help him. So why don't we? Jaune thought to himself as he walked through the Beacon hall ways. As he looked to the dimly lit pale walls his answer was simple. You see Jaune inherited many things from his father.
Sense of style, mannerisms, ways of speech, charm with the ladies. But with anything there is good and there is bad. And Jaune inherited one of the worst things from his father, that was Jaune was cocky to the extreme. Oh sure Jaune could get his aura unlocked any time but where's the fun in that? Where's the danger where's the excitement of having your life on the line everytime you enter an area?
The thrill of beating and conquering an opponent who could destroy you in a moments notice? Jaune not only inherited his fathers sense of pride he also inherited his innate recklessness, his desire to take a chance and beat the odds. Jaune was an adrenaline junkie and fight stronger opponents than him was his fix, and currently, he was desperate for a fresh fight.
No matter how insurmountable they might be! But unlike his father Jaunelacked the experience of failure the soul-crushing defeath that humble the hears of even the worst gambler, no Jaune was young cocky and armed to the teeth, with no significant life failure to date he believed he was invincible and that was a dangerous combination for anybody period.
No Jaune did not need his aura to do well in Beacon. Not at all, Jaune just needed to be perfect and he would be...
WHAP! MEROWW! The sound of metal impacting flesh filled the air as Ozpin stared evenly at his screen. "Sometimes it doesn't pay to have monitors." He said as he watched one student rewarding his pupil. As he was about to turn away- "Ozpin what the hell are you watching!?" Glynda said as Ozpin sighed to himself it was going to be a long night...
AN: There we go another chapter done! Now the story's going to go into full swing, so I hope you are prepared! Until next time! Bastion's next so until then take care!
