AN: OK! I know I said it would be something else but I was dying! So in a fit, of desperation have some Lovestruck while I stop hugging my damn bed...
"I... that's impossible." Jaune said as he saw two adults walk out of the bullhead. One a beautiful woman who looked like Weiss before Bleiss. She was taller than Weiss by around a half foot. Her eyes were the same crystal blue as Weiss but her chest was much more pronounced... Jaune gulped as his eyes trailed to the center of the chest where an arrow shaft stood out. Jaune froze Winter had been struck by a Hearts Bane! But that was not what caught Jaune's attention that and best her slightly pink eyes it was the man next to her. He had a mop of uncombed black hair, an open white shirt with a crooked cross on it. His chest also had an arrow in it?!
How the hell did he get the arrow in his chest?! Jaune's eyes locked onto the arrow in the man's chest that was the clear sign on the Heats Bane but where was the actual device!?
Either he used it on her or she used it on him, but where the hell is it!? Jaune thought as the man looked at him his head cocked to the side once as a small smile split his face, his eyes locked onto Jaune's wrist as he eyed his weapon. He let a smile split his face as-
"Weiss... you... you have decided to have a makeover..." Winter said her eyes wide in what Jaune did not know was either shock, revulsion or pure confusion probably all three and-
"Yo sis! You made it! Damn good to see you!" Bleiss said jumping into Winter's arms the older woman catching her sister easily her misease seeping away as she wrapped her altered sibling in a tight hug.
"I... I see that being away from home has changed you. Very well, I suppose it was foolish of me to think that Beacon being a new place would not change you at all, but this? You really did a one-eighty did you not? Have you found your Gothic side?" Winter asked going for a joke but failing as Bleiss only blinked owlishly at her in response.
"What are you talking about? I look the same as when I last saw you at the ball. Why do people keep telling me that I changed my looks?" Bleiss asked as Winter winced a bit.
"I see... maybe you need some time with your sibling, now who is this handsome man?" Winter asked a small frown on her face as-
"This blonde hunk on a man is my lover and future house husband Jaune Arc," Bleiss said instantly back to Bleiss mode and apparently trying to imprint herself as a future harem leader as Winter nodded.
"Well, Jaune it is a pressure to meet you. I can see that Weiss-"
"Bleiss."
"Pardon me, sister?"
"Bleiss."
"Bless you."
"I didn't sneeze."
"I... then what did you say?"
"Um, my name? Bleiss, I'm Bleiss Schnee, why do people keep thinking I'm called Weiss?" Bleiss asked as Winter and her husband shared a complex look as-
"Kids like to roleplay babe no biggie." The man said shrugging his shoulders as Winter frowned once before nodding.
"If you say so dear."
"I do love of my life." The man said easily making Winter blush, her cheeks heated up as she averted her head.
"Not in front of Weiss dear!"
"Bleiss! Who the hell is Weiss!?"
"I... I'm sorry Bleiss? You said this was a phase right?"
"I don't know you said that your dressing as a school girl was only a phase but that was over two years ago and you still like to be paddled for being naughty after class." The man said as Winter gagged.
"QROW!"
"What! Don't be like that! You know you like it." The man said with a shit eating grin as Winter groaned.
"I'm so sorry about this Jaune, he means well I hope you know that." Winter pleaded giving Jaune a desperate look as he nodded still wondering which one of them shot first.
"I.. it's fine I-"
"Don't worry about him babe but besides I think Jaune over here has good intentions with Bleiss, I mean he had to have good aim." Qrow's words were a clear signal as Jaune gasped.
"Good aim? Uncle Qrow?"
"Never you mind Bleiss, hey instead of being around some boring guys you and Winter go talk me and Jaune here have some catching up to do."
"Are you sure dear? We can-"
"It's fine! besides, I have some questions for Jaune and I know he has some for me." Qrow said as Jaune felt like he was about to break.
"If you say, ok sister shall we go and talk about your fashion sense?" Winter asked as Bleiss and she walked off the landing area as Jaune and Qrow waited for their woman to get out of earshot as-
"How-"
"Look, kid, I know you have a lot of questions but not here." Jaune wanted to hit Qrow.
"I need-"
"You think you need to know the answers right now and you do! But not in damn public! You don't know who is listening to us! We need to find a place far more isolated to do business." Qrow said as Jaune nodded the man smiled as he took out a small flask taking a long drink and gasping.
"Damn, now that's the good stuff, so tell me, kid, you know a good bar?" Qrow asked as Jaune nodded.
"Well, Oum damn it! Show me the way!" Qrow said wrapping an arm around Jaune's shoulder his skin touching as Jaune's weapon did not fire? The weapon did not so much as make a sound even with skin to skin contact!?
How the hell? Jaune thought as he looked to the man's arrow, it was buried deep in his chest and his eyes while blood had traces of pink on their outlines. Qrow was afflicted so was Winter the only question was how, and where the hell was the Hearts Bane?
"Two shots, enjoy." A gruff barman with a heavy pair of glasses and a thick beard said as Jaune and Qrow nodded, the twin brown liquids in glass bottle looked eerily liked blood to Jaune making him want to vomit as they raised thier glasses.
"Cheers! To new friends and-"
"How the hell did you-"
"I said! To new friends! And I don't talk to people who are not my friends and my friends drink with me!" Qrow said as Jaune groaned taking his shot clinking the glassed, downing the liquor, it burned his mouth making him gag in pain as he swallowed it down.
"AH!"
"There we go! That puts hair on your damn chest! Barkeep! Another!"
"As you say." The gruff man said again as Jaune groaned-
"So-"
"So tell me, kid, no wait lemme guess, you bought yours for twenty lien too?"
"I did!"
"Random old guy!"
"Yes!"
"Hah! He sold me mine to! Best damn money I ever spent!"
"Here you two go."
"Thanks, cheers!" Qrow paid and he and Jaune toasted downing their drinks as Jaune shudder the liquid burning his throat.
"But how?! How is it off your hand?!"
"How? Um... the same way they always come off." Qrow said like it was the simplest thing ever.
"And how is that!?"
"Wait... did you not read the instructions?"
"I! How does it come off!?"
"Well like the instructions say, you would know if you read you fire the weapon at the target then once your true love then they take it off your hand, then it shoots you with an arrow, it has one saved just for you, then you and her or him I don't judge will all in love for the rest of your lives. Simple, easy peasy shot em easy. Another round!"
Jaune was going to die.
That simple!? There is no way that it is that simple!? All this time I was almost dead and the answer was in front of my face the whole time!? Jaune thought as he gagged.
"That's all I need to do!?" Jaune asked disbelief in his face as Qrow nodded.
"Yeah, it's pretty simple really, just use the weapon on the love of your life if you know who it is. Hit her with the arrow then have her take the thing off of your arm and bang! The arrow goes right in you it's like she shot you with the thing and then you are with her!" Qrow said smiling widely his eyes reflecting a pink haze as Jaune gawked, shock, horror and pure incredulity shining in his eyes as he left his mouth agape.
"There's no way."
"There is a way, that's how it works! Don't tell me you didn't read the manual? You... you did read it right? Jaune? Jaune?" Qrow asked Jaune's eyes twitching as Qrow began to laugh nervously.
"Hey kid this thing ain't no joke if you don't use it responsibly then it's going to bite not only you but everyone in a ten-mile area around you in the ass!" Qrow said a sudden look of fear in his eyes as Jaune bit his lip.
"No fucking..."
"I didn't read it!"
"Why the fuck not!?"
"Because I never thought I needed it!?"
"Why!? The thing is sketchy as fuck! It's a literal love machine! Why the hell are you not reading the instructions!?"
"I don't know!"
"Oh shit! Kid this is bad! How many did you use it on? You know what? You look like a good kid you can't be worse than my old teammate." Qrow said shaking his head making Jaune pause.
"Your old teammate?"
"Yeah, the idiot used it on my sister and our leader! Can you believe it?"
"I mean... no?" Jaune asked as Qrow nodded.
"You are god damn right you can't believe it! The blonde bastard! Thought he was hot shit! Haha! You should have seen his face when they both became maidens!" Qrow said a shit-eating look in his face as Jaune paused.
There is that word again the hell does that mean?
"Maiden?"
"Yeah! You heard me! One second it's all hah! Look at me! I'm Tai! I have a harem! HA! HA! HA! Then the next is oh dear god please don't kill me! Rae no more lightning! Summer I'll give you all the kids in the world just please stop choking me!" Qrow said exaggerating choking sounds with his hands placed around his neck. Making the bartender look at Qrow like he had lost his mind.
"Qrow! Hold up-"
"And then there was the begging! Oh, Jaune let me tell you a story! Tai thought he was hot shit! He was the harem king! Had my, MY! Sister! Rae acting like a god damned housewife!? Do you know how hard that was?!"
"I... I can only imagine." Jaune said doing what he did best when he was in over his head, nod and move on.
"Exactly what I said! But do you know what he did?!"
"I don't."
"Good! Well, I'll tell you, he not only had her make all of our meals for wife training! Which was a shame cause Rae could not cook a meal to save her own life! Which matters more to her than anything let me tell you that right now." Qrow said leaning in to whisper conspiratorially in Jaune's ear the smell of liquor raked his nostrils making Jaune want to vomit.
"Well I'll be honest I don't know what's worse the fact that he had Rae dressed up like a damn Vacuo maid skimpy outfit and all or the fact that in four years she never once cooked a damn good meal?" Qrow asked scratching his chin before getting back on track.
"Then one day Sum, Sum! My sweet partner! Just happened to rub his neck and bam! He took her!"
"He took her?"
"He shot her down man! She was gone! Went from a nice cheerful Summer to Tai this! Tai that! Back the fuck up you edgy bird I will fucking cut you!" Qrow said tears in his eyes as he sniffled sobbing once as he shook his head wiping off his tears as he continued.
"Then there was the fighting! Dear god, I knew Raven could be possessive but Summer?! She might have looked small but she could have wrestled Ursa into the ground! The fights literally tore our dorm apart over the stupidest things! Who spent longer with Tai that day! Who breathed more of his aura!
Who got to sleep in his bed when they fucking shared it! I was the only one, not getting laid every day and look at me Jaune!" Qrow said yanking Jaune pulled him face to face making the boy yelp in panic.
"I tried, I was pulling as far as the eye could fucking see! Not even I could get laid every goddamn day! It was unfair!"
"I see! But how does this end!?"
"Well, that's the funny thing... I don't know how that story ended." Qrow said all traces of anger on incredulity had gone from his voice as he pulled back into his stool a serious look on his face.
"You don't know?" Jaune asked not knowing how the hell he knew so much about this interesting time in his life only to cop out now.
"Yeah funniest thing one-day things just stopped, no more fighting, no more battles and then..."
"And then?"
"Well... Summer died." Qrow's mood soured as Jaune paused a wave of sympathy washed over him.
"I'm sorry Qrow."
"Don't be it's not your fault, she died then Raven went missing on the same day."
"Wait Summer died and Raven went missing on the same day?"
"Yeah weirdest thing, Raven had been doing this whole shadow parent thing. Watching Yang from the shadows until she needed her, thought it would be more impactful if the first time she met her mom was when she was saving her life."
"That seems dramatic."
"Right? And she called Summer a fool."
Did he say, Yang? Like Yang?
"So when they died?"
"I don't know, you don't get it Jaune. I don't know if you know this or if I should tell you but to hell, with it, you would blab to someone else when a maiden think strong women like very strong die their power is transferred to another woman has to be a woman of thirty plus years of age. Can't be a man can't be younger."
"Ok, I get that but how does that make things weird."
"Let me tell you! You see I've been looking for maidens for a long time. I've seen a few come and go unfortunately but ever since Summer's death and Raven's disappearance there have been no sightings of a Spring or Summer maiden. I don't know why but either the power is lost forever which would be..."
"Bad?"
"Different."
"Ok, so either the power is lost or the maidens..."
"Are not dead." Qrow's words seemed almost bitter with a bit of fear in them. Like he didn't like what he was saying even if it was probably true.
"It's not right kid if the power was transferred as it always is upon death the recipient usually shows signs and with the machines we have in Atlas? We can find the maiden's hell we found the Winter one like that! And before you ask no Winter is not the Winter maiden. As ironic as that would be."
"I see... so there is a chance that the maidens are still alive?"
"If they are alive they would have to be frozen somehow, like in some kind of suspended animation! Or something like that!"
"Is, that even possible? Like a stasis field from a sci-fi movie?"
"I... I don't know we have gravity dust that can produce stasis like fields but it has never been fully tested, the odds of that are not impossible but not good either. And that would mean you would not only have to employ but keep that up for almost two decades now? That can't be cheap I'm talking big bucks."
"I mean can a hunter do it?"
" A hunter? Jaune you would need to be the living embodiment of the damned Grim reaper herself for you to be able to pull that shit out of your ass and even then that would be hard. Not, unless you were a damn genius with dust you could not make it work." Qrow said taking a sip of his refilled glass as he sighed.
"I don't know what's going on any more kid, I'm just glad that I met another guy who took up that old man. Speaking of which how many lucky girls you got in your entourage? And I hope for your sake Weiss or Bleiss the hell is up with that name?"
"Long story."
"Something about the manual or how you did not read it specially?"
"Yes."
"I see, well if you break her heart I stop yours ok? That goes double for Winter."
"I think if I broke her heart she would put me into several drums and dump me out into the Vale harbor."
"I... wow how many people did you use that fucking thing on?"
"More than two I'll tell you that much."
"What was I expecting? Blondes! Always thinks things are just gonna work out for them! Never thinking about the consequences! Well, I know the feeling. I was young once. If I had not let Winter take my device off years ago I shudder to think of the mess I would have gotten myself into."
"I wish I had listened to the manual."
"It's fine three or four is not that bad. It will be hard but they are not maidens there is a health and safety section in your device, especially for harem makers. That can help you out just open up your manual and give it a once over." Qrow said as Jaune wanted to beat he head into the floor.
"Well, the thing is I did not stop at three?"
"Ah, I got it you can make it work up till four and-"
"Qrow I stopped at nine." Qrow passed out then and there falling out cold in public.
"Qrow? Qrow? Oh, come on! Now how the hell am I going to-"
What! A hand slammed down on the counter as-
"Your bill please come again."
"Oh come one! Why me?" Jaune moaned as he reached for his wallet. Crying as he laid out what little money he had as he prepared to go home.
"So... Bleiss?" Winter asked equally wanting to support her sister's creative rebellious nature and also wondering who the hell convinced her to wear this... dramatic color scheme.
"Yeah, sis? What's happening?" Bleiss asked not sure why Winter seemed so put off with her name and outfit.
I've worn the same thing for years, why is she bothered by it now? Bleiss thought as she walked hallways with Winter the two had had a great time today. Eating, catching up even if there were some odd inconsistencies in Winter's story.
Apparently, father in all his wisdom or desperation had put her back in the running for the heiress of the company. A decision that surprised Bleiss to no end, she had no idea how or when or why this decision had been made.
She was quite sure that her father wanted nothing more to do with her after she burned his precious board of investors. It was their own damn fault! They should not have tried to set her up as some kind of damsel who needed rescuing by someone ass off a man who was twenty years beyond!
But that was then this was now, now Bleiss or as Winter and everyone seemed hellbent on calling her Weiss. Who the hell is Weiss? Bleiss sighed as Winter frowned.
"Bleiss, I know that Vale is a bit looser in their enforcement of dress codes especially compared to Atlas but don't you think that you are taking your dress situation a bit liberally?" Winter asked not upset, not really. Weiss looked great she always looked good, she was a Schnee, she was her sister. Her not looking good was all but impossible.
Weiss had simply dyed her hair black colored her dress the color of fresh blood and had adopted a red and black color scheme that while proud Winter preferred the more subtle monochrome one she had before.
"So tell me about your boyfriend I have heard quite a lot about him from you in the past," Winter asked a teasing smirk on her face, Weiss or Bleiss might have been growing but she could still tease-
"Oh he's fucking amazing, he is tall, knows how to fight and damn it he is a Cassanova when I need it!" Bleiss said not a shred of embarrassment or fear in her voice making Winter blush.
"Weiss!? Such language!"
"What? Uncle Qrow curses all day."
"But never around you!"
"And? People grow sis, it's just words calm down you might get another wrinkle."
"Another?!" Winter asked ripping out a small vanity mirror checking her face.
"I don't have any wrinkles!"
"Yeah, but I made you check for them."
"Weiss Schnee!"
"Bleiss!"
"Bleiss! Fine! Whatever! You don't have to tease your sister you know?" Winter asked as the two stopped the time they spent together was nice but it was time for Winter to get going she was here on business Vytal was approaching and she needed to be there for security. She needed to report to Ozpin and do several business items in her stay in Beacon.
"Winter may I ask you a more... personal question?"
"Oh? Of course feel free Bleiss..."
"Good! Well if you were in a situation where you were being forced to share something that you did not want to share what would you do?"
"Share something I did not want to share? What do you mean sister?" Winter asked a genuinely confused look on her face as Weiss let out a long sigh.
"As in let's say you had something, something that was yours, something that you know that beyond all shadows of a doubt belonged to you and you alone. But for circumstances beyond your control, you are being forced for the betterment of your and others." Bleiss growled out that last part before recovering.
"To share."
"Bleiss, while there are times in life when you must look around you if it is truly important or it is someone important to you then I would not give an inch. I love Qrow but do you think I would share him for even a second?"
"No, I do not sister."
"Good. Weiss, you need to know limits, sure there are things you do share, be they items, people duties but there are things that you will never share no matter what." Winter said using her sister's actual name roleplay had its time and place but this was not one of them.
"I... thank's sis I really needed that."
"Think nothing of it, dear sister, now tell me how long have you had problems with sharing of others?" Winter asked a wry smile on her lips. Bleiss paused trying to figure out the best way she could murder eight huntresses in training and one android in one fell swoop without being noticed and without going to jail.
"For some time but that is a story for another time sister. We can talk about that crap when you come back from your job, I'll be here."
Standing on a pile of dead bitches. Bleiss thought as Winter nodded.
"I see dear sister until we meet again I will me with Qrow, I hope he and Jaune had a good time."
"Oh? Loverboy and uncle Qrow, I bet they got along great! Jaune loves food and doesn't' mind drinking now and then"
"I hope that Qrow didn't drink too much he gets awfully chatty after a few shots there are some things that he should not be talking about."
"Calm down Winter, it's just Qrow and Jaune they are probably kicking back just fine."
Where the fuck is he!? Bleiss thought as she stood in front of nine angry faces, eight of which had cold dead eyes, devoid of anything resembling life. The other a pair of pain filled magenta ones as Ren? The boy if he was still a boy looked ready to faint.
"Oh, Bleiss! How is my favorite pet doing today!" Ruby's word's hurt to hear like they were being forced out of her mouth. Bleiss' leader, partner, and owner had an off-kilter grin and she looked ready to murder someone, specifically her with the oversized gardening tool she called her baby.
"Ruby!-"
"That's Mistress to you pet!" Ruby hissed as her blade came within inches of her throat the massive blade getting dangerously close to Bleiss' jugular as she gulped.
"Well! Calm down, Mistress Ruby! I know that you might not like what you see-"
"Not like? I don't like when I have to wake up early! I don't like when Yang eats my cookies! I don't like! When I trip on my own feet! I HATE when my boyfriend is not here! WHERE IS HE!?" Ruby shouted her eyes flashing a dangerous color of pink as Weiss felt a wave of murderous intent emanating from her.
The reaper was not alone all of the harem was more or less up in arms with the exception of Penny who seemed calmer but Weiss knew what a targeting computer getting its lock would chime as.
"Now Mistress, I can explain why-"
"You better, for your sake." Ruby's voice felt like a wave of glacial wind from the polar caps of Atlas itself. Weiss fought down a shiver as she nodded once.
"Ok! Well as I said I took Jaune to meet my sister and her husband."
"Ok. That was something we all agreed upon, then?"
"Then! He and my uncle hit it off, they got along really well and decided to go out into town for some guy time."
"Guy time?! What the hell does he need that for!? He has us!"
"Now Nora, it is important that Jaune have male friends too," Pyrrha said her voice outwardly calm but her eyes were firmly closed, her hands balled in a murderous stance. Her weapons glowed a light shade of black as she tilted her head in a decisively unhealthy angle. Snap!
"Weiss do tell us where Jaune and your uncle went you know the location of their date yes?" Pyrrha asked as Weiss felt her blood run cold as she squeaked.
Dammit! How did I not ask where they were going!?
"Well, snow princess the hell is my man?" Coco asked a very unamused look in her brown eyes, the pink hearts that outlined them locked in on Weiss as she felt death on her.
"I... I don't know..."
"You what?!" Blake snapped her book shut her eyes flashed up with rage as Blake began to stalk up to her. Slamming her feet to the floor as-
"Do you even know the fucking name of the guy!?" Yang demanded her eyes blazing as-
"Qrow! Qrow-"
"Branwen?" Ruby asked holding out a hand stopping the murderous Blake as Weiss paused.
"Yes?"
"Wait. Hold up! Qrow Branwen?"
"Yes?"
"Tall? Lanky? Red eyes? Always drinking?" Yang asked her eyes slightly dying down as she did.
"Uncle Qrow!" Ruby said her eyes shining as for some reason Bleiss felt like she just dodged a bullet and several sharp objects...
"So I just have to ask?" Jaune asked as he and Qrow walked back into Beacon. The two had paid of Jaune had paid for their drinks, they had taken a short bullhead ride where Qrow had gratefully taken the time to explain each and every little feature of the Hearts Bane. Showing Jaune every last thing that will happen if he picked at it.
Hah! And They thought I needed to use the manual! I learned this just fine! Jaune thought as he smiled warmly at his weapon.
"Now kid you do not have just free reign. You can't just be fucking around k?" Qrow asked taking another swig of his flask as Jaune nodded.
"Yeah I get you, I'll have to pick one girl."
"You need to pick one girl, and you need to do that sooner rather than later. The longer you wait to pick a girl the worse the effects of the device will be! You leave those arrows in them longer than you should and they will start to lose their minds!"
"But what about the girls I already have?"
"I don't know, that is something that you have to work on," Qrow said making Jaune sigh, he needed to figure out a way to deal with his harem.
"I... thank you Qrow. You saved my ass."
"I know I did now get in there!" Qrow said slapping his back and pushing Jaune forward. Jaune waved his new friend goodbye walking into the Beacon proper he was now armed with the most powerful weapon of all knowledge.
"Initiate search, parameters maidens," Jaune whispered into the device as-
"Scanning. Scanning. Maidens, found, locations." The device displayed a map there was one maiden in Beacon, under the tower? Then there were two in Patch.
"Patch? The hell? Ruby is from Patch." Jaune said as-
Oof! Jaune felt something soft slam into him as he tumbled taking another form-
"Watch where you are going!" A shape angry voice yelled as Jaune moaned, angry red eyes glared down as a mocha-skinned woman with green hair glared death at him as-
"It's quite alright Emerald, I was not watching my step." A burning voice said as the single most beautiful woman Jaune have ever seen stood up. She was taller than him by a quarter foot her hair long and flowing like Blakes, her eyes a burning amber, her form was a perfect hourglass, form and-
"Stand up, boy. I'm Cinder Fall a transfer student." The woman said holding out her hand touching Jaune's-
FATHOM! Cinder was shot dead in the chest before Jaune could react, he wanted to yell but he needed to run.
I don't need another harem member! Jaune thought turning away from Cinder as he began to sprint he did not get far. He barely got two steps out when a force slammed on him and yanked him off his feet.
WHAP! Jaune was flung into a wall, Cinder pulled him off his feet like he was made of feather s her eyes ablaze literal fire come from them as-
"Cinder!?"
"Mam!?"
"Help!?" Jaune asked as the woman with a cruelty beautiful face and eyes now fully dead, no life in them glared into him with a naked hunger that made his toes curl up in fear her lips twisted in a cruel smirk as she said three words to him in a voice so hot it burned his face.
"I want you." The woman said as a pair of burning lips slammed into Jaune locking his in a searing kiss...
AN: OK! There we go! Another day another chapter of Love Stuck and the introduction of Cinder! The false maiden is here and boy is she pissed! I don't know about you but she is going to be a hot wire in the harem. Also! We finally! Know how the damn Hearts Bane works! Just use and take off! Simple! It's almost impossible to mess up! So with Jaune finally in the know and with the mention of maidens in Patch? Well, let's just say things are going to get interesting... Branwen is next so until then? Omake...

Omake. Grimm Busters part 10 Champion.
There was an old saying once, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, that saying could apply to Jaune right now.
"Ok! What now!?' Jaune asked his proton back pulled up close to his chest Crocea Mors was fully charged and a low hum filled the air. As Jaune glance over the stone pillar to the old sports arena, they had been called to investigate.
"Just stay still! The Huntress we are after today is very powerful!" Weiss hissed in his ear, the friendly huntress was just as cool and sharp in a mission as she was lounging around thier dorm back home. Weiss hovered by his side looking over the human's shoulder frowning. She had not been in this arena in some time. The last time she was here she was still alive and the ruler of the arena was also alive and not slain by her own manager over a sporting loss.
"Just who the hell are we fighting and why no how is she so damn dangerous!?" Jaune hissed taking a deep breath before sprinting. The boy sprinted out his weapon pulled close to his chest, he double-timed it across the room not taking a second to pause as he slid into the cover of a new pillar. He crunched and crumpled ancient wrappers and old flyers depicting some kind of woman with red hair and yellow eyes? Jaune thought the posters were ancient far older than he ever thought were possible. The Mistrali coliseum was abandoned centuries ago, after the disaster of the breach the place had been shut down for good, it was a hot spot for Grimm but usually, the only Grimm that spawned stayed in the area so they were rarely in need at exterminating.
"Jaune! Can you be any louder!? Weiss demanded as Jaune groaned sticking out his gun as he smirked.
"There's no one here Weiss! Unless the Huntress can hear me!"
"She has heard you Jaune! I told you she would attack the moment we are vulnerable and I can not help you! She is too strong for even me to help!"
"Then I'll need Ren and Nora to help, you think Ruby is leading them ok?" Jaune asked and regretted as a look of fear crossed Weiss's face as she let out a nervous laugh.
"I... I think they will live... for now..."
"That is less than encouraging," Jaune said before spring out of his new cover running into the center of the area where a massive statue was center.
"Jaune?! Jaune?! Wait!" Weiss said as Jaune saw a massive statue of a beautiful woman, she was old, the statue was cover in cobwebs, there were wide cracks all over it, the stone was ancient older than him and-
"She's beautiful."
