AN: OK! Here we go! Another day another chapter of Love Struck! In this one Jaune and Amber go to Patch to free some lovers! Tai gets one helluva bar surprise! Jaune makes a hard and difficult choice and an old friend pops up to shake things up. All this and more in this chapter of Love Struck!
"Amber? What are you talking about?" Jaune asked as he took a step back he took his sword in his hand, gripping it tightly as he gave his lover a glare. Amber smiled the recently healed maiden smiled warmly as she turned her almond skin shimmered freshly healed by the power of the device on Jaune's wrist.
Jaune glared at Amber her rich olive eyes staring back at him. Jaune gulped her olive eyes seemed off, the effect of the Heart's band in full display, the massive golden arrow implanted fully in her chest her eyes now had the sickly heart iris's of the weapons effect as the bleed out sickly purple hearts that popped on the side. She smiled in a sickly sweet motion the harsh antic smell of ozone filled the air as Jaune saw lightning!?
Amber's eyes literally began to turn into balls of fire as she cocked her head, her fists opened up like wisps of orange energy fell from her fingers. Jaune felt the hair's rise on his arms his eyes narrowed in onto her as he held his ground he knew that running from someone afflicted with the Heart's Band was pointless, he needed to stand his ground and be firm.
"Amber? What do you mean we need to go to patch? Why would Patch have something for us?"
"OH! Simple two of my... sisters are in Patch! They are held apart from their love and they need to be reunited! Come Jaune you will not stop the journey of love will you?" Amber asked a smile so wide and bright on her face that Jaune paused he took a second, to ponder.
If he went with Amber there seemed to be no issue with her, she was being friendly in a good way so far there was no reason to be afraid.
Besides her probably able to annihilate the girls. And if she can destroy them? She can do worse to me...
"I... what will we be doing in Patch?"
"Oh! Not much! There are two sisters of mine that are being held against their will! If we can save them then, I believe that we can help them along the path of true love!"
"I... what if they get in the way of our love?"
"Then I kill them." Amber's voice lost any trach of levity becoming cold as Weiss's dust as Jaune gulped. Taking a step back as he nodded.
"But they won't do that! They will be one, too thankful to do anything but thank us! They might even reward us for our efforts!"
"That... that sounds good? What type of reward do you think they will give us?"
"Oh! I don't know but from what I do know of them it might be something worth our time! Now, what do you say love of my life! Are you ready to take the first step on the journey of our lives together!"
"I... yes I'm ready," Jaune said picking his fight as Amber jumped a bit in the air.
"Yay! Now let's get moving, ow!" She winced gripping her side.
"Are you alright?" Jaune took a step forward Amber waved him off a slight smile on her face.
"Just some old pain! I'm good as new!"
"I.. if you think so. So how will we be getting to Patch? Walk, Bullhead, car?"
"Fly!" Amber said as Jaune smiled that was probably the quickest way to Patch anyway.
"Ok, so Bullhead?" Jaune asked as Amber gained a playful look in her eyes. Amber opened her arms several bolts of lighting flowed out pushing her off the floor as Jaune took a step back, "Baby? what are you doing? You look like you are about to just take off!" Jaune said a bit of fear in his eyes Amber grinned taking a move forward flying up to Jaune as she wrapped him in a hug. Smashing his face into her decent chest making a brief blush appear in his face as she rubbed his head.
"Oh, we are going to fly there Jaune! Me and you together!" Amber said not letting Jaune say anything as she focused her power and forced the two out of the vault.
Amber let out a yell of pure happiness! Her face open in a scream of pure joy as she flew.
"YES! I was stuck in that tube for so long! Now I am free!" Amber screamed her power forcing her through the air! She had gone from being stuck in a medically forced coma to this!
Flying through the air her body free as a bird! Her inhibitions finally melted away!
The woman dad a flip tossing herself headfirst into a cloud! Loving how the body broke for her letting her fly through it as if she was a spear!
"I forgot how good it was to fly!" Amber rolled the vast Vale landscape flew past her, everything looked so tiny!
Amber felt like a giant looking down on the world, the small lights of the many houses and small cars that rolled to and for on the country!
Amber had forgotten what it felt like when she was in her medical condition!
She had let herself be harmed injured an ambush had taken place and she was almost killed. She did not know who came for her life but she was not going to let this go.
They surprised me once, the will not do it twice. I do not know who you are but I will find you and I will kill you. Amber's thoughts forced her eyes to burst with flames. She knew what she had to do, that woman with golden eyes, and hair like pitch. The one with red eyes, mocha skin, and hair like grass.
And the boy with silver hair and grey eyes. They all had to die, and soon not just for her sake either. The love of her life was in danger as long as they lived and that was not allowed!
Speaking of the love of her life he was not enjoying flying as much as she thought. Jaune clung to her chest his face buried deep into her body, screaming as she whimpered.
"Amber! We are too high up!" Jaune screamed his eyes bleeding water Amber had forgot to give him eye protection a fact she did lament she pushed his face deep into her chest to shield his face his perfect, flawless face from harm as they flew.
"Amber! Please!"
"I'm sorry Jaune! But I'll let you down soon!" Amber said as she saw or really she felt her goal. Amber knew what she had to do, she had to free her siblings from their unnatural captivity. They were held against their will and worse! They and their true love were being forced apart!
That was something that Amber as a true believer in love could not allow it to go on any longer!
"Easy there my love! We are almost there!" Amber said as she began her descent her powers fading as Jaune felt his gut grumble.
"Amber... I think I'm going to be sick." Jaune groaned as she paused.
"Are you bad with flying?" Amber asked as Jaune's face turned green and be began to groan.
"There, there air sickness is not uncommon you know?" Amber asked rubbing Jaune's back her love was apparently weak to the air travel." Amber said as Jaune finished hurling on the grass Jaune whimpered as he stood up a large wooden house with a red door awaited them no lights were on as Jaune paused.
"Where are we?"
"At the place that we will soon set love free!"
"And how do we do that?" Jaune asked as Amber smirked waving her hands-
"Like this!" Amber said flicking her hands there was a flash of golden power as-
BANG! The front half of the house simply vanished, blown apart in a blow of orang Amber summon a wave of lighting blowing it apart making Jaune wince, falling back as he gulped.
"Amber!? What the fuck was that!?" Jaune shouted the front of the house gone the door barely attached to a creaky from swing wily ember settled all around as the creaking and groaning of wood filled his ears.
"OH don't worry about that Jaune! I just got our route in! Now come with me love! Let us go to free love from its jail!" Amber said skipping into the destroyed house.
Jaune gagged the harsh smell of broken metal and wood filled his nose, Amber skipped into the burning house humming as Jaune followed.
"Amber!? We can't just walk into a house we blew up!"
"Oh yes, we can!" Amber said as they skipped or she skipped Jaune scampered into the house. Amber walked forward the place was a wreck burning wood all around embers fell as she waved her had.
"Open says me!" Amber said as she flicking her wrist another bang! Filled the air as she blew open what looked like a basement? She blasted open an entrance to some below-ground staircase, skipping down leaving Jaune alone in the burning charred ruins of a home. The burning wood and falling picture frames scorched fully made him gulp as he followed his lover.
"Amber! Wait!" Jaune yelled as he followed her down into the well as she skipped down.
"Amber!"
"Follow me!" She said as Jaune gulped chasing her down taking the metal steps one after another, Amber hummed taking them three a step. As she skipped down Jaune saw the metallic walls take away from the woods, soon they were deep underground. At least three stories before the staircase ended at a smooth metal floor.
"What the hell? Where are we?" Jaune asked as Amber took her arm shooting a bolt of lightning at a smooth door with a number lock keypad on it. The lock was fried and the door opened as Amber grinned.
"After me!" She said as Jaune followed her, soon he was in a new wide clean room and-
"The hell?" Jaune asked as he saw them? Two women one with blood red eyes hair like midnight was screaming a silent scream a bright red katana drawn and lighting falling from her eyes.
The other a silver-eyed woman was holding two silver short swords, her eyes also shooting fire, both women were stuck? They were wrapped in a cold blue glow, frozen in time and-
"Do you see? Is it not a tragic fate for any who will seek out true love?" Amber asked a hurt look in her purple stained iris. She walked over to the two women rage in their eyes, they were held in a small room a small silver cylinder forcing the strange eldritch blue force field that kept them in mid-air.
"Amber? What are we doing?"
"We are going to free them," Amber said as she summoned a bolt of lighting. She took a deep breath as she focused her power into her palm before she forced it out there was another band the silver canister blew apart as the field flickered shimmered and died.
The two women hung for one second before they crashed to the floor, both gagging coughing, as they fell Jaune saw that they looked young? Barely older than himself and they were both and almost spitting image of Ruby and Yang? The blood-eyed woman looking like an older bustier Yang, the silver-eyed an older more mature Ruby.
They choked and spat up what might have been years of holding in the air, gasping coughing as they rolled around on the floor.
"My side." The blood one who was Yang but older said as she sat up forcing her up with her own blade.
"What happened?" Older Ruby asked looking up silver eyes bleary her head was spinning both had wide eyes that looked up for a second before locking on the other.
"YOU!" Both of them yelled as they drew weapons.
"Sisters! Please stop!" Amber forced them to stop with words alone as she walked in front of them her arms held up.
"Who are you!?"
"What did you do to Tai!?" The dark and silver eye woman asked both glaring deaths at Amber.
"I am your sister! Look!" Amber said showing her force, her lighting paused them.
"I... What's happening?"
"Where is my love?" Older Yang asked as Amber smirked.
"Sisters! Listen to me! Your love is alive and well!"
"Good. Then I can go to him and see my daughter! She is barely four and needs her mother.' Older Yang said growling as Ruby with breasts looked ready to flay her.
"My daughter needs her mommy! Now back the fuck off slut!"
"You whore! You gold-digging homewrecker! I will kill you!" Older Yang hissed as she raised her sword-
"WAIT! Sisters, please! There is much you do not know! Stay your weapons and let me speak! Please!" Amber said as Jaune saw them, buried deep in the women's' chest were arrows... older Yang had the first the gold one with orange spots on it, and Ruby with breasts that were her name now had the solid gold one.
She was shot second? Jaune thought as the two women glared at Amber.
"Who are you? What season?" Older Yang asked not taking her eyes of Ruby with tits.
Rits? Should I call her Rits? Jaune thought as he tried to shorten the name as the two women glared death at Amber.
"I am fall! Please listen to me! There is no need to fight in fact there is much to discuss! Please listen." Amber pleaded as both older Yang and Ruby with tits paused looking at her without something approaching respect. They regarded her for a moment before nodding taking a step back not putting away their weapons for a second.
"Ok! Now that you will listen, please! let me speak there is much to cover."
"So... it's been over ten years?" The woman Raven as her name now was know said her voice shaky fear full and present, her knuckles turned white and her face lost what little color it had.
"Yes. You two have been in stasis for over a decade."
"My baby!? Is Ruby ok!? How can she live without her mom!?"
"Ruby is from what I know fine. This is Jaune Summer."
Ruby with tits was a stupid name.
"She is fine according to Jaune, she is also his best friend."
"AH! My baby has a best friend! I am so happy!"
"Is my daughter strong?" Raven asked as Amber nodded.
"She will make you proud."
"She could do nothing else... I... thank you, Amber."
"Yes, we did not know that our own selfishness would hurt Tai!"
"It is a fact, your fighting drove your love to imprison you! You must learn to put aside your differences to be with you man."
"I will."
"SO will I."
"Good then go and claim your, man," Amber said smiling as Summer and Raven nodded...
"I'll take your best quality!" A loud boisterous voice said as a bartender nodded.
"Sure thing, you are drinking a lot tonight Tai any reason?" The man asked as Tai grinned the handsome single hunter smiled as he pointed to his scroll with a picture of his two daughters and him was front and center.
"This! My babies are going to be in Vytal! I'm so proud!" The man said holding back tears a wide goofy smile on his face as the barkeep smiled.
"Good on you Tai, I'm glad." He said as Tai grinned.
"Thanks, Mark nothing like-
Tai's scroll beeped, a single red warning flashed on it as a simple line read Containment Breach. Tai froze every last ounce of color drained from his face his eyes narrowed into slits as his knuckles began to shake.
"Here is your drink man-
"Make it a double."
"Big spender? All you." The man said as Tai froze his blood was cold as ice, the double bourbon poured was downed a second later as-
A portal opened up in the bar, a massive swirling red portal popped open and one of the most beautiful women in the world stepped out. A tall pale skinned woman with hair as dark as pitch and eyes red as blood, stepped out, a massive golden arrow in her chest as Tai smiled.
"Raven. Looking good there." Tai said as Raven Branwen, love of his life walked out the portal closed behind her-
"Where is Summer?"
"Tai..."
"Where. Is. Summer. Raven?"
"I know... we know that we were wrong... we acted rashly and did not take your feelings into account. I am sorry. Summer is too please come back with me?"
"Tai do you know her-
"Mark go home."
"But-
"This is going to get ugly."
"No. No, it is not. Tai, I love you, Summer loves you-
"How did you get out? I had stasis dust perfected."
"We were set free."
"By who!?"
"That is not important. What is important is you. Will you come quietly or do I have to use... persuasion?" Raven asked hoping against hope that Tai would pick the easy route. She did not want to harm him. She loved Tai but after what he did?
There needed to be a long talk about restrictions and behavior, they both had acted out of turn Raven knew this her and Summer were equally to blame for Tai's actions-
"I'm not going to be your Slave."
"I know! I know! We know me and Summer that keeping you as a lover-
"Slave!"
"I KNOW! Ok... please, Tai do not make me come over there, I love you and I do not want to hurt you so please come quietly?" Raven offered as Tai sighed.
"Mark another," Tai asked as the shaking man poured him another shot.
"Summer does not like you drinking."
"And she is not here is she? Scoping out the place?"
"Tai-
"Well to answer your question babe. No. I will not go quietly." Tai said downing the shot in one go slamming down the glass as he looked to the barman.
"Play my song," Tai asked as Mark nodded scampering out of the bar slamming a jukebox on the way out as Raven sighed rubbing her head but for some reason not drawing her blade yet.
"Tai. I don't want to hurt you."
"I do not believe that you know?" Tai asked as
"~And now, the end is near.~" The song began as Raven sighed.
"So we do this the hard way?"
"You know me."
"And I love you, let's get this over with," Raven said glaring as the two adults glared death as they began to charge…
"So what are we going to do now?" Jaune asked as him and Amber stood outside a small shack in the Patch wilderness, Amber had just freed the maidens of Spring and Summer from some type of stasis imprisonment. Amber had taken Jaune to a small shack that she had learned of its existence from Raven who was not surprisingly enough Yang's mother had told them to go for supply.
"We need to restock my love! After we do that we can finally be off!" Amber said opening the lock to the wooden shad pulling the door aside, fumbling for a second as she gasped.
"Aha! Found you!" Amber said as she flicked on a light switch, Jaune raised an eyebrow as he saw a room filled with-
"Guns?" Jaune asked as the small shed was filled literally stacked to the teeth with almost every type of gun, and weapon in creation was stocked high up in the stage. Shiny silver assault rifles with mean looking barrels the size of his head, shimmering smaller weapons smg types, a spattering of rifles, nasty shotguns, auto guns, blades, pistols, and every other weapon kept in immaculate condition as Amber smiled skipping inside as Jaune followed her to the door.
"Stocking up my love! Once we have some more protection we can afford to travel the world! Tell me what kind of weapon would you like?" Amber asked ruffling through the shed as Jaune paused looking down at the slightly smaller woman was bent down crouching as Jaune sighed he knew Amber loved him or was forced to love him.
The device on his wrist made her love him. It also makes her bat shit insane. If she keeps this up and as long as any other woman is infected with the curse then she will only get worse and worse. Sure she is good now but in a week? Or a month? How long until she finally snaps and comes at me like the rest of them? Jaune thought as Amber hummed a happy song as he gulped.
"I have my sword and shield Amber."
"Oh forget about that! You need another weapon! A ranged weapon will really help you out in the field!" Amber said as she gasped! Her hands flying up to her face as she smirked.
"Look! I found you this!' Amber said as she turned around a massive silver shotgun in her hands.
"Here!" Amber tossed the weapon in Jaune's hands he caught it the thing felt heavy and dense in his palms, he looked it over it was smooth perfectly smooth. Not a blemish or sign of dust on it.
"What's this?"
"Special Shotgun! You will need it when we travel!"
"What makes it so special?" Jaune asked looking it up and down, he did not know much of ranged weapons. He was not Ruby but from his rather limited knowledge of ranged weaponry, he did not see anything that was particularly special about it.
The weapon had a trigger, a barrel, and a slot to expel casings. The weapon's color was a hard silver but besides that, it looked normal enough.
"Oh! That's a Slicer!" Amber said excitedly as Jaune pause.
"A what not?"
"Slicer! It pierces aura when you shoot!"
"It pierces?"
"Yup! That gun's shells will tunnel right under it! Shooting someone with that unless they have armor will have the rounds go straight into them!" Amber said smiling as Jaune paused his hands gripped the gun as unreadable look came over his lips as a decision was made.
"Amber, tell me something."
"Yes, love?"
"Is this weapon loaded?"
"It sure is! Eight shells!"
"Is the safety on?"
"It should be, why?"
"Can you show me where it is?"
"Look on the right side of the gun! There is a slight slot that you can slide up or back, up means safety on the back means safety off!" Amber explained Jaune looked the gun, sure enough, there was a slot for a safety and sure enough Jaune took it off with a click!
"Amber."
"Yes, love of my life who I cherish above all else? What can I help you with?" Amber asked again looking down at a box of assorted weapons.
"What are we going to do now?"
"Now?"
"Yes after we rearm what will we do?"
"OH! We will travel the words! Fighting Grimm and being heroes! Well after I kill the fire witch."
"Fire witch?"
"Tall, eyes like molten gold, hair black as pitch and an evil a presence to her. she was the one to wound me and she will die for that."
"Cinder.' Jaune knew who she was talking about right away. Amber knew Cinder, and Cinder wounded Amber. That was not good.
FUCK! If that's the case we will end up back in Beacon, I will have to help Cinder fight the harem! She is strong but she can't beat them all.
"Why do we have to kill her? Why not just let her live?" Jaune offered an olive branch hoping that she would take it and spare him a hard choice.
"We have to kill her love. If we do not she will hunt us to the ends of the planet!"
"How do you know that? Maybe she will back off? Maybe she will leave us alone?" Jaune asked once again hoping that Amber would just take the out.
"Jaune. She is not your average woman. She hunted me down, she knows what I am she wants my power. And she wants you.' Amber paused her fist balling up as she took a deep breath.
"She will hunt us down, she will hunt you down. No matter where we go. No matter what we do. She will always be there. Watching us hunting us we can not run from them Jaune." Amber spoke with a hard finality, her words striking deep as Jaune sighed he knew she was right but he had to be certain.
"I... so we have to fight them?"
"No. We have to kill them."
"Kill them?"
"That's the only way! If you don't kill them they will kill me then they will kill you! Jaune trust me I know that they were once close to you but you really can not trust them!"
"I can trust you?"
"Of course! Me and you will travel the world! Fight Grimm! And..." Amber trailed off her words slurring as she went still.
"Amber? You ok?"
"I... I'm just thinking."
"About?"
"This is dangerous work love. I have powers, I am strong I am not saying you are weak! But what if you get hurt? What if you die or are injured? I can't let that happen! Maybe I can secure you in a safe place? Like a shed or a safe house? You would not mind that love would you?"
"No Amber, no I would not mind it."
"Good! I knew that you would see the logic in my ways! But tell me would you like to consummate our marriage before or after this? I can lay on my back here, or you on yours I'm flexible!"
"Amber, you said you traveled on a horse correctly?"
"I did, his name was Brutus why?"
"What happened to him?"
"Oh, he had to be put down sadly," Amber said a slight sense of dejection in her voice as Jaune paused swallowing a lump of spit so dry it scraped his throat.
"You had to put him down?" Jaune asked looking for a final confirmation as she nodded.
"Sure did! He broke his leg in the fight and you know what they say about a horse that breaks a leg!"
"You put it down right?" Jaune asked as he took a deep breath his decision made as Amber nodded.
"Yup! You need to put them down! It's for their own good!"
"For their own good..."
"That's what I said! If you don't put a horse down that broke its leg you are making it suffer and that is not right! You need to put them down once they have outlived their usefulness!"
"Thank you for that Amber."
"You are very welcome love!"
"Same here, just like a horse, you put it down," Jaune said raising his gun and pulling…
"You killed her!?" Ozpin shouted slamming his fist on the table his eyes shaking grey orbs rattling in their sockets as Jaune paused he did not know what to say to the man.
"I... I could not allow her to go on, she was going to force me to fight or not to fight the harem. She would fight them instead, she would lose and they would find me. Again." Jaune said his voice low and shaking as he balled up his fists.
"I didn't have another option then."
"You could have done something! Jaune that was a maiden!"
"I know!"
"And do you know what happens when a maiden dies!?"
"She transfers power."
"YES! Is that why Miss Fall was literally glowing!?"
"I don't know but that happened, sir."
"I... I see so after that? You ended up right back in Beacon? Please tell me if you spent so much time leaving why come back?"
"It's like Amber said. They would keep looking. Summer and Raven knew my face. Sooner or later they would get in contact with Ruby and Yang tel them I was alive and then it would be all be for nothing."
After dealing with Amber in a rather unconventional way Jaune found himself death marching back to Vale, his feet stomping on the ground as he gripped his shotgun tightly. Amber was not a threat anymore, but she was but the first of many.
"As long as I'm alive they will hunt me. As long as they are alive they will hunt me. I can not let this go on." Jaune knew what he had to do, as he entered Vale after a two-day march he saw that apparently, his death was to be a national holiday a tragedy that would go down in history as the worst event since the faunus war.
Posters of him were on every lamppost, street corner and-
"For a dead man, you look remarkably alive." Jaune paused his body went stiff as a board as a smile split his face.
"I'm feeling pretty alive." Jaune turned around rich dark eyes looked up at him, teal hair that was cut in neat tidy bags flowed. A sharp silver-blue uniform hovering over a green skirt, on olive skin that glowed like milk chocolate. And all topped off with a nice teal beret.
"Ciel?"
"Jaune. You look... well? I mean when I thought you were dead that was bad enough, but now that you are alive? I'll tell you, mother and sisters, to rest easy.' Ciel Solei Jaune's first friend from childhood smirked smiling at him in her usually smug cynical grin. Ciel was still in her Atlas uniform smiling at Jaune as-
"Ciel!" Jaune wrapped the smaller woman in a hug for a moment she bristled at the contact but relaxed Jaune was one of the few people she allowed to touch her like that and she returned the hug.
"It is good to see you as well you fool. But what the hell happened to you? You vanished for a few weeks, people think you are dead and since when did you have a damn harem?" Ciel asked a bit of sadness in her voice.
She was not a fool, Jaune was not hers did not belong to her. Sure she would have preferred if her childhood friend had picked up on the air of flirting but if he found another then she was more than ok.
"Ciel, I need your help."
"Of course what can I do?" Ciel asked as Jaune smiled taking his hand and purposefully touching her neck. Fitum! The arrow fired striking her clean in her chest she gasped, dark eyes running purple her iris going heart shape as Jaune smiled.
Only one. The only way this madness would end was with one. One lover. The Hearts Bane demanded that Jaune find one and only one lover. He had not followed the directions before and had suffered greatly for it. No more. From now on he was going to follow what the weapon asked.
"Jaune... you smell good." Ciel's slurred her words as Jaune smiled.
Ciel was a risk for sure but she was a calculated one.
AN: OK! That's it! That's all for Lovestruck for now! Jaune is going back to Beacon to put down his harem! He is finally listening to the demon on his wrist, picking a lover he can know. And Tai... he was a good man, Summer and Raven are back! And just as young as when he last saw them! Amber is out of the picture for now and life is getting complicated! That's all, for now, Branwen in next AND! The sequel for this story is set! If you like your Jaune harem's with a supernatural twist then you will love Lust V Snuff cumming soon! But until then? Omake...
Omake.
Grimm busters part 12 Assistance.
"UM! Excuse me!" Velvet shouted, actually shouted the shy secretary faunus screamed into the dining room where human and ghost appeared to be getting along. Everyone paused Jaune stopped the awkward flirting with Ruby, Ruby was doing her best not to blush. A failed attempt as her face translucent as it lacked all flesh was flushed with a color of red to match her ethereal cape.
All eyes turned as once making Velvet squirm! Suddenly wishing that she could walk back find the nearest table or hold dig herself in and cover herself fully in it before-
"Well? What is the problem? Velvet." Weiss used her given name and mot servant for what might have been the first time as Velvet gave off another squeal. Turning away from them taking a deep breath as she gulped.
"We have a burst of Grimm activity on the outskirts of the town!"
"How bad? Is it contained? Are people involved?" Jaune asked standing up all business the rest of the buster Ren and Nora stood up with a mix of stoic resignation and glee.
"How bad is it Velvet?"
"How many legs do we get to break!?"
"UM! Bad! VERY! Very bad! So bad that Beacon is going to be sending us help!" Velvet added the last part as Ruby and Weiss froze the ghosts of the table looking up at once as the meaning hit clear. Assistance meant other humans, hunters that would not know them who would attack them meaning-
"So we can not accompany them on this mission. Fair enough you are all competent enough to not get yourself killed on something as simple as this. And if you are careless enough to die?"
"You can come back as a ghost! And we can all still live together!" Ruby said pumping her fist the thought of Jaune dying while not necessarily good or not good at all did show Weiss that Ruby was thinking.
And when Ruby started thinking people started to die. Weiss froze here eyes raising as Ruby's plan started to make sense even if she had not sid a word the dolt's thoughts were easy to read.
"Ruby. NO."
"Eh? Weiss-
"NO."
"You don't-
"N.O."
"You don't know what I am thinking!"
"Ruby. That is not OK! Let nature take its course-
"Velvet who is our back up?" Jaune asked as the bunny faunus actually frowned.
"Atlas backup! You are getting two busters on loan from them! They will help you out!"
"They have names?"
"Ummm yes! Penny Polendina and Ciel Solei will assist us!"
"Ciel? Here? That's new."
"Ciel?"
"Jaune childhood BFF Ruby! She and him go WAY back!" Nora said as Ruby paused her neck tiling as she gripped her scythe materializing ift fully-
"RUBY!"
"I was just thinking! He would look good with see-through skin and if I helped him along..."
"You will not murder-
"Ok guys! We got Grimm to bust let's get a move on!"
