An omake for Solvdrage's excellent "Beacon: Academy that wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it. Hopefully it'll inspire him to put out the next chapter sooner. Enjoy, especially you, Solv-pai!

New Game Plus

Jaune and Pyrrha smiled as they met up again on the bullhead to Beacon. Even though their last play through ended in victory, unlike the original, it was still a relief to be reunited after such a long physical separation.

They were still able to keep in touch with their co-op chatting ability, even though they chose to start their new game plus from the very beginning.

They both thought it was incredibly odd that they could still communicate, even during conception of all things; but chalked that up to another strange design quirk from PNKE.

Neither of them would be able to listen to Larry White music again though.

And Jaune was still surprised that he was able to swim so fast. Where was that speed during his middle school championship?

He and Pyrrha just agreed that it was one of Remnant's greatest mysteries.

Being able to tell each other about their day, often as it was happening was great for their relationship. Even if they couldn't be with each other physically.

And that was certainly frustrating!

Surprisingly, it was Pyrrha that discovered the way around that.

After a particularly intense training session, where she was trying to master a new technique for her first run through the Mistral Regional Championship this game, she was approached by one of the senior boys of Sanctum.

Pyrrha was unimpressed, and used the beat down she delivered as her post work out cool down routine.

Pyrrha's annoyance at the boy's arrogance was so strong that it came through the chat though. This discovery led to some very interesting post workout routines for the two.

They both now had an intimate understanding of what they each felt during their release. How many other couples could say that?

And so, with this new connection, the duo was able to stand the long wait until Beacon this time, if only just. Of course, they were both glad for the chance to level their flexibility and dexterity.

Jaune added baking to his skills, and Pyrrha learned to tie very intricate knots with silk.

Jaune even went a step further and dug up a copy of The Kama Sutra from Vacuo, complete with special Faunus fetish section, for when they wanted to be inventive.

And in case they felt like taking advantage of the relationship meter intentionally this time.

Plus, if that new menu was true, and they could theoretically change themselves to become Faunus, with total control over their traits?

Well, Jaune knew Pyrrha thought dogs were adorable. How much more easily could he stay out of trouble with a cute tail and ears? Plus, night vision!

That could definitely be worth a look on another game.

Now, however, the partners were more focused on each other than they had been in years in game.

They were finally reunited in person.

So of course, they did what any young, in love couple would do after a long time apart.

They shagged like bunnies on every surface of Pyrrha's private compartment.

They really got a lot of use out of their increased dexterity and flexibility stats.

After their now traditional christening of their compartment, they had lunch on Cardin's lien thanks to the deft touch Jaune's pick pocketing skill granted him.

Originally, he was just going to use it to slip evidence to Ironwood after stealing from Cinder, but this was more fun.

The only thing better than extravagant food was free extravagant food.

The partners had a very enjoyable three course lunch before finally getting down to business.

"So, the plan is still reverse pick pocketing Cinder with a thumb-drive that actually strengthens Vale's cyber-security, and then exposing her soon after when she gets angry and stupid?"

Pyrrha nodded as she savored another bite of fudge. It was glorious, and free.

It tasted like victory.

"Yes. That should do nicely," Pyrrha claimed as she reluctantly finished the last of her delicious chocolate, "Then we can take care of Cinder while RWBY fights Emerald and Mercury. I really like the game play options these new skills have given us."

Jaune nodded agreement as he sipped the most expensive non-alcoholic drink he could find on the menu, "Yeah. It's definitely weird focusing on stealth and a new sword style without a shield, but the techniques of that Kenshin guy I learned from the class are awesome! I can cut leaves in half as they fall!"

The redhead gave her partner an appreciative glance, enjoying the look of the comfortable pants and silk shirt that reminded her of something Ren would wear. It fit Jaune like a second skin, and brought out the color of his eyes.

She was too busy taking it off earlier to notice.

The blonde in turn sent his partner an over-the-top wink as he drank in the sight of her. She had decided to focus more on hand-to-hand combat the time, as seen by the well-fitting pants and tank-top that seemed more like something Yang would wear. The retractable claws in her gauntlets made for a deadly weapon. She still named them Milo and Akouo, though.

Just as the couple were entertaining thoughts about another round to start burning off their meal, there was a chime sound, followed by an automated voice, warning passengers that they would soon be arriving in Vale.

Pyrrha giggled at the frustrated look on Jaune's face before holding up her glass of juice to toast.

"To a wonderful speed run so that we can spend most of our game on a private nude beach in Mistral!"

Jaune smirked, "And to improving our kill/death ratio! It's time to kill Cinder more times than she's killed us!"

They clinked glasses, and took a last moment to savor the atmosphere of their own private world before grabbing their stuff and getting ready for departure.

On their way out of their room, Jaune made sure to slip Cardin's card back in his pocket as they made their way past. He and Pyrrha shared a laugh over their "party line" though when Cardin moved in the direction of their cabin before the door completely closed.

As they rounded the corner, they heard him turn to the rest of his future team and loudly enquire, "What the hell is that smell?!"
