AN: Here it is! After many hours of soul searching and realizing that I started a fic with only a beginning and end and no idea how the hell to get there I finally got the plot for this story! As I now know how to actually progress it! I'll be honest I was debating retconning the whole thing scrapping it to start over from square one with a core idea intact and while I might rewrite the fic I won't do it now. I thought about it hard but that didn't feel right so I'm going to push through to the end! Until then thanks for reading and enjoy!
PS. About the Omake's.
I am experimenting with Omake's as a rule and while I do not currently intend to turn them into a full story they are more experiments. If they do well enough get a good enough response I will consider turning them into full fics if I get enough comments etc about them so enjoy...
Flesh met flesh it was an interlocking series of hushed voices and sullen sounds as hiss filled the air. Bodies merged and intertwined as a sharp intake of breath met the col air as two panting figures fell to their sides gasping and sweating as they laid in sweat-drenched blankets as they grinned at one another.
"My that was exceptional, if I didn't know any better, I'd think that you wanted something from me."
A beautiful melodic voice said as amber eyes flicker open regard the sharp green pair next to them.
"Me? Ulterior motive? Why would I have had an ulterior motive?" Roman asked in a cocksure voice as Cinder smiled beautifully at him.
It was around nine in the morning, and Roman was still panting hard.
Usually, Cinder was a tough woman to satisfy but years of practice and a natural talent gave him a small advantage it the field of keeping a smile on Cinder's lips and taking the breath from her lungs.
"This is a good question. Why would you Roman Torchiwck have an ulterior motive with me?" Cinder asked the thief slash lover who grinned a perfect smile at her showing row after row of white teeth.
"I can't see why I would, I mean besides spending the night with the most beautiful woman in all of the Remnant that is," Roman said as Cinder chuckled.
"Flattery get's you nowhere Roman. But please, do continue... Cinder said in her usual melodic tone as Roman did just that.
Truth be told Roman did, in fact, have an ulterior motive with spending this night with Cinder. I mean besides the sex and all. Which even after near two decades of being with the woman never cease being as thrilling and as addicting as the first night nearly twelve years ago.
Even after all this time, the strange and entirely unexpected relationship between a master thief and an enigmatic pyromancer had surprisingly been one of the more stable things in his life, and despite some minor hiccups and more then a few scorched pieces of furniture and cloth Roman was happy with his life.
Thought he would be happier if the love of his wife along with his daughter were not actively co-conspiring to murder his only son. Though the fact that they were both working together and seeing eye to eye was good. As Cinder and Neo never got along at the best of times and actively conspired against one another at the worst. Sure they respected each other more or less what was good...
One being the daughter of her lover and the other knowing she was hilariously outclassed she was by the other, and any type of hostility would end remarkably quick and decisively against her.
And while having two members of his family who were trying to actively either one up or straight up murder each other in Neo's case that is, while Roman did try his best to attempt to limit his inter family homicide ratings, he found that as of late that task had been increasingly difficult...
"Roman you are thinking... About what might I ask have those gears turning in your head besides the woman in front of you?"
"Only staring at the most engaging is in the world." Roam said with an easy smile as Cinder grinned.
"Not a lie. But not the truth. A good choice of words, that's why I like you, Roman. You don't lie, but you don't tell me the truth either. A rare trait in my opinion and one I find appealing, to say the least."
Cinder said easily seeing through his thinly veiled attempt at deception as the thief smirked.
"Why I would never!"
"Roman do not presume that after a decade of intimacy I do no know your quirks, to say the least."
"Perish the thought! I meant only to say that I was merely captived by ht sight in front of me."
"You were so enraptured you forgot to think?"
"What can I say you can't fault a man for being rendered speechless by such perfection can you?"
"Not that I don't find your praise appealing I do. But I do find it hard to believe that you would still be rendered speechless by a perfection that you have seen on a near nightly base for years?"
"I've seen the sunrise every day, and it still gets me speechless," Roman said as Cinder purred once accepting his praise as fact.
"You always were good with your tongue. I forget that from time to time."
Cinder said tilting her head as a confident smirk came to her lips.
"Really? Now, who is the one who is not paying attention to one of her partners best qualities?"
Roman said while frantically thinking about his situation.
"Well, in that case, why don't you remind me of why it's one of the better parts of your personality." Cinder said as Roman sighed and lifted the blanket that they shared.
On one hand, Cinder was right. Roman did have an ulterior motive with spend the night with her. Mainly distraction. Roman was trying to get the love of his life as far as away as possible from his son and then his daughter.
Who while having put aside their differences had done so only to plan his actual murder. Something Roman did not want despite how much the little shit deserved it.
As while Roman loved his son the shit had gone from prodigal to dead, to back from the dead! To rampaging through downtown Vale leaving a highway full fo dead bodies destroyed vehicles and one furious Cinder who was not happy to have nearly had her prized weapon lost from her, and secretly she was worried sick for her son's well being a fact that Roman felt a good deal of pride as the woman gasped.
A strong hand gripped the back of Roman's head forcing him forward as he sighed. Does she always have to grip the hair? It takes a lot of time to get it like this you know?
Roman thought before going back to his tasks mainly keep Cinder happy and his son alive.
Cinder who unlike Neo required a certain amount of finesse to please. Neo despite being the picture of elegance and pride. And despite having an enigmatic personality was remarkably simple to placate. All he needed was to give her a steady supply of ice cream, compliment her appearance and give her plenty of paternal affection and she was happy and content to forgive and not brutally murder her brother for making her worry.
Cinder though? She needed a bit of work. And while Roman was sure that Cinder would never really harm his kid that didn't mean he would come out without a few burn scars on his face.
And to keep his kids face as scar-free as humanly possible and maintaining Cinder's good graces in equal parts both happy and distracted. Something that judging by her sharp gasping and ever-increasing grip on the back of his head he guesses he was doing a rather good job at as after all Roman was many things a thief, murderer and a chat but he above all else he was a professional...
"Roman, I'll be leaving now. You can stay as long as you want just be sure to lock up the place." Cinder said in a calm humming tone as she always did after a good morning.
"As you say dear!" Roam said while checking his jaw doing his best I'm not hiding something don't kill my voice as his lover grinned.
"As you say. I'll see you in the warehouse. We still need to discuss the plans for Mount Gleen alright? Need I remind you that it is less than two weeks away, and I will be needing Neo for this so I hope you can get her to play nice with the faunus."
Cinder said giving Roman an appraising look.
"Don't worry I'll talk to her," Roman said as Cinder nodded.
"See that you do. I know how... enigmatic Neo can be. It would be a shame if things got complicated between us."
"Yes! Yes it, would." Roman agreed pulling the collar of his shirt as Cinder grinned.
"Good! See that you do. I'd hate to get into another disagreement with her. Especially after seeing how well we have gotten along. Especially as of late... Have you heard from our son yet?"
Cinder asked leveling a withering gaze at Roman who gulped as he began to sweat.
"None at all! I think he's still at Beacon."
"Think?"
"I know! I have some sources that confirm he is alive and healthy. More or less...
"That's good to hear. See to it that when he does inevitably come home to roost that you keep him there for me. I have some things that I need to discuss with him." Cinder said before Roman's scroll flashed and his face dropped.
"Ummm, Cindy... I think you might see him sooner then you think."
Roman said as Cinder paused her physics altering form-fitting dress spun with her as she cocked her eyes at her lover.
"Why is that?"
"He's coming home... tonight, and he's bringing a date...
Roman Torchwick was not a fool. He was a streetwise weel dressed intelligent young man who had not only been able to graduate from a hunter academy with honors. He had the proceded to stop that hunter life to being a career as a successful master thief, he had then added to his growing list of accomplishments as he had then added rasing not one but two children. From the streets that he had in more or less been a direct factor to their orphaning and had taken them under his wing as his own.
After that, he had proceeded to raise them as his own and been able to have a stable romantic life with one of the most dangerous beings in existence. All in all, he was a smart, well dressed, kind, charming and all around a great guy!
According to him but! Even one as suave as him was not perfect and could still err. He was human after all he was not some comic book hero he was but a man, a smart well-dressed man with an amazing outfit two perfect children loving partner and a stable job! But he still made mistakes and found himself in unfortunate situations, like the one he was in now.
"Do you people ever use the door!?"
Roman shouted looking at the ruined window that was now laying in a million small pieces on the living room floor. Roman grimaced at the inevitable lecture that would surely come from Cinder before jumping back as a thin metallic scabbard nearly took his head off as he swore under his breath as he glared at the man.
"You know I honestly sometimes wonder just how the hell I get myself into these situations you know?" Roman asked as he lept to his left grimacing as the sound of shattering glass filed the air as he broke Cinder's coffee table.
He was already ruminating the lockjaw what was sure to find him after he survived this particular debacle. As he rolled to form the remainder of Ciner's prized furniture bullets tore into the equally expensive and hilariously luxurious couch behind it.
"You know if you guys just knocked that would make this a helluva lot easier for me!" Roman shouted taking cover from the rain of gunfire that filled the apartment filling the air with the staccato of rapid-fire bullets and the air with the acrid stink of gunpowder as the thief rolled his eyes. "Why me?" Roman thought as he looked over the couch.
It had only started off as a normal morning. Roman woke up had sex with his girlfriend? That's the word and had given her an extra amount of care before she left only for her apartment to be hit less than five minutes later by two armed men.
Professional mercenaries judging by their weapons and armaments who were either completely blinded by money or had no idea who the hell they were trying to kill as most men with an iota of self-preservation would balk at any amount of money before attacking Cinder. Well, at least those without a death wish that is.
"Well, who says crime doesn't pay!" Roman yelled rolling out from the couch just in time as rotation bladed ripped dit tin two spray feather and upholstery all over the apartment's interior.
"She's going to kill me," Roman said aloud before reacher forward to the first mercenary and grabbed his arm and flipped him over the furniture and slammed him onto the ground with a heavy smack!
The man barked some type of an order this comrade whatever it was it fell wonderful short on his ears as Roman reached down to his head and with one brutal thrust snapped his neck.
As the man fell limp, a torrent of bullets sprayed into him knocking Roman back as he used the man for a makeshift shield as his friend charged him.
"Damn it!" Roman cursed as he saw his weapon Melodic Cudgel sitting across the room safe in an umbrella stand. Of all the time no tot have you!
Roman thought as the surviving mean swan kicked into his dead partner's body sending them both crashing into Cinders shower.
The next few moments of Roman's life were a blur of blood glass and metal as three bodies when it tumbled into the immaculately tiled floor of the bathroom spray it with blood bullets and shell casing.
"Why is everybody trying to trash the place?!" Roman yelled leaping back into the shower as the man picked up his deal allies slower and jumped at him.
Need to stall! Roman thought to grab the nearest bottle of hair care product in what was an admittedly juvenile tactic and squirted it into the man's visored face. In what was at best a few seconds distraction as a rope of peach smelling orange liquid sprayed over the man's goggled face. It was a stalling tactic and intended to buy the thief a few seconds more at best.
What Roman got in return was a horrible scream followed by the sound of melting metal as he watched as the man's face was literally melted off.
Roman stared slack jaw as he looked at man's now dropping face that was sloughing off from its perch in messy sludge as it poured off of him to form into a viscous soup on the bathtub floor, as he looked at the bottle in his hand. It was a bottle of Cinder's personal hair conditioner, and it melted his face off...
I need a favor... Four little words that Roman had learned to hate in his life. It wasn't that he was a selfish man. No! Far from it! It was just that especially after being together with Cinder the four words had gotten him into more trouble than he ever hoped to get into. So that was why it was with great trepidation and a generous amount of suspicion when Cinder had asked Roman before leaving that he needed a favor.
The favor in question, on the one hand, was not life-threatening at least not yet. In fact, it was probably one of the most innocuous requests Cinder had ever! Made of him and that's why Roman viewed it with such suspicion.
Not only was this request entirely out of left field it was entirely and if Roman was, to be honest completely unnecessary, as he sat in an uncomfortable wooden pew next to an elder smiling dear faunus woman as a man shouted of the gods of light and the faunus crowd cheered, Cinder had asked Roman to go to mass...
He had at first thought Cinder was joking when she had asked him to go to church, Roman was not a religious persona, and neither was Cinder and the fact that she wanted him to go to church? Of all thing in the faunus district in Vale's downtown slums? That was... odd.
"And the lord of light said! NO! I will not tolerate this insolence!"
The fiery faunus preacher shouted as he yelled to his huddled mass. "Praise the light!" The elder dear said next to Roman flashing him a smile.
"How are you doing today's sonny? I hope you are having a blessed day."
The woman asked as Roman forced a smile to her.
"I... am?" Roman asked as the elder woman smile nodding he head.
"That's good deary. I haven't seen you here before, are you a new member of our flock? If so I would love to bid you welcome."
The woman said through a small smile on her wrinkled skin as Roman forced another smile.
"No... I am here for a friend. She asked me to come."
"For some reason."
Roam added beneath his breath as he looked dot the kind elderly woman.
"She must be a smart woman then. Beautiful too if she caught the eyes of a sharply dressed young man like yourself."
The woman said as Roman cocked his head.
"How did you know me and Cinder where together?" He asked before clasping hand to his face.
Shit! He just said her name-
"I saw it in your eyes. You know the eyes are the windows to the soul right? I saw it when you said her. Your eyes shined with what I know to be love. It must be nice to be young and in love." The woman said as Roman grinned at her.
"That obvious?" He asked leaning back into his pew as the woman smiled back genuinely.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of. Love is a wonderful thing to be you know?"
"Yeah, I do...
Roman thought as his scroll ticked down.
"You are to go to the eleven am mass at the Firstlight cathedral in down two Beacon. Stay there for the majority of the mass but leave exactly five minutes early."
Cinder had told him as Roman had then been the good boyfriend that he was a still trying to save his son's bacon. Something Jaune would owe him for the rest of his hopefully long life.
Ha had agreed and left Cinder to go to mass of all things and hey! He found a new friend at lest! He had no idea how this elder faunus was, but he would like to get to know her more.
As Roman sat chatting amicably to the woman as he found himself enjoying his chat with the woman known as Candice, Peppermint as the two sat int he First light cathedral listening to the fiery preacher talks about the light and grimacing as he covered his ears at the church's shitty pa systems. I mean really!
This place needed a new speaker system! As the one installed was currently producing a light ringing in Roman's ears as he rubbed them completely unaware of the small camera watching him.
"This is going as well I could hope. " Cinder said as she turned up a knob on her scrolls she silently watched her boyfriend sitting in the church.
As she watched her lover talking to an elderly dear faunus as she turned up a knob as she watched the first effects of the Atlesian Dogwhistle begin to manifest themselves as she turned up the knob on the small devices as she watched the effects it had on the faunus.
Roman was only just beginning to fell the effects of the dog whistle as he began to rub his ears to get out a sharp ringing in his ears. As the elderly faunus seemed to be on a similar level as she began to fell the pain as well.
As Cinder raised the volume on the knob, she watched the church began to seethe as the members started to bite.
As the preacher's speech got more and more virulent more angry more spiteful Cinder smiled as the faunus parish members began to cry out in pain as blood seeped from their ears, nose, and mouths. They began to scream and howl in pain as the frequency of the dog whistle went up.
Cinder had to admit it was worth the effort to steal from the Schnee manner, that daring raid into Atlas that had been co aided by the Whtie fang had led not only to slew of destruction and dead bodies including a Schnee themselves.
It had also led to Cinder gaining access to one of the most influential and most controversial Atlas pieces of technology, the Dog whistle.
The Atlesian Dog whistle was one of the most controversial and quasi-illegal items in the world. It was no secret that Atlas was a colossus in the dust company famed for being the single most significant producer of dust in the world and for controversial labor practices.
And one of the lesser known things that Atlas had been doing mainly due to people who had been on the Research side and something that those scientists would rather not have their insights brought to the light of day. They built many and a variety of delicious items, tools, and devices that Cinder was more than happy to acquire for herself.
One of the most intriguing and very, very many. Controversial and plainly illegal devices was the Atlesian dog whistle.
It was a device meant to control the faunus workers n the mine in case of a rebellion or what not. It produced a super sonic sound wave that at it's highest volume would incapacitate the faunus with a soundwave that only their enhanced hearing could hear. In a quick clean and humane way to prevent damage to equipment and publicity.
It was an incredibly painful screaming sound that could quell a rebellion and was intended to put down a resistance in the mine without damaging any equipment and with as little collateral damage as possible. And they could avoid the negative pr of having a bunch of dead working faunus on their hands!
The sad thing about the whistle was that when it came down to it, it did not put faunus workers to sleep as it was intended to do, but it instead caused them such intense pain that they began to quite literally rip each other into pieces in explosive orgies of violence and bloodletting.
The dog whistle would create such pain in a faunus brain that it would override their sense of reason or compassion and they would soon begin in less than five minutes of hearing it at medium frequency would go quite mad from the pain and would soon start to literally rip each other's throats out.
As she pulled the knob forward a thin smile crept across her lips at the chaos that was the church as it was about to explode.
"What the hell!?" Roman side as the ring had soon become unbearable! I was like someone was scratching nails on a chalkboard but infinitely worse so. It was like a million blaring sirens where going off as a thousand knives where being put into his skull as he stumbled forward.
As he cupped his ears trying to stan up onto to tumble out of the pews. The church went insane! It was a madhouse as faunus men woman children! Where on the floor of the church crying out in pure anguish as blood seeped from their mouths, noses, and ears as they collapsed into bright wreathing piles onto the floor crying out in pain.
"The fuck!?" Roman hissed as he reached for Melodic Cudgel only to grimace as he realized one of the other things Cinder in her near infinite wisdom or lack thereof had demanded of him that he did not take his favorite weapon to the church.
Normally Roman would have never, under any circumstance traveled without his prize weapon but he was still trying to appease Cinder and protect his son, so he had reluctantly agreed to go without it. He had honestly felt naked without his cane like a piece of him was missing. As he jerked forward, luckily he had not come unarmed. He was not stupid.
He came locked and loaded with some guns, knives, bombs and just about every other conceivable weapon that he could fit onto his person as he attempted to struggle out of the church.
Just because Romans as master of the cane did not mean he was untrained in about every other weapon on Remnant. He had time to spare in Beacon and even after when raising his children that he become proficient in all manners of weapons and was a master of more than a few.
As he stumbled forward despite to get out of the church and the terrible screen that was enveloping it a strong hand gripped his shoulder as he turned around.
There in front of him was a tall tigress faunus. She had light brown skin and silky, luxurious dark hair and piercing red eyes. She wore a red dress and skirt and was howling at the top of her lungs. Spit flew from her rage infected mouth as her face frothed at the ends as white foam was turned pink by blood as the woman had a purely deranged look on her face as she gripped him.
Roman tried to get her back, but her nails dug into his flesh as he watched her hand rise up from behind her as Roman saw a large glittering knife in her hand. The thing shined and glistened in the night as the woman raged and unintelligible sound as she bought the knife down onto Ronan's head something snapped in Roman's head as his face twisted into a nasty snarl as he glared at the woman.
"Fine then!" Roman yelled reaching into his coat in a blur of speed withdrew a pistol as the woman's kif slid down wall past his chest as her red eyes widened in surprise as Roman raised his pistol and shot her in the face.
BANG!
The pistol fired, and the room exploded.
It was like a powder keg had gone off in the room as the church went form a room od baying painful faunus cowering on the floor into an orgy of blood and violence.
Roman had no idea what was coming over him and honestly? He didn't care! He was alive! His blood was pumping his heart was pounding, his lungs breathe in great chunks of air as he felt his pulse are. He was on fire!
Hie veins sang at the top of their lungs crying out for battle as he saw the carnage of the church, even as the first faunus fell backward her head blown out by a single dust round two more rushed him as Roman grinned.
Two shots rang out both blowing out the brains of the two men blowing their brains out in red pulpy mist as he jumped forward all around him was turmoil.
Men and women ripped into each other with reckless abandon as he saw necks sliced, limbs ripped off, and intestines ripped out of bodies as he fell forward.
Hot blood washed over his face as he continued to fire. Roman never stopped. Something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong with him. As hr fire bullet after bullet into faunus it was a slaughter!
A group of angry, mad civilians versus one aura unlocked master thief? It was a slaughter, and one Roman would happily oblige as a fist flew forward of a snarling bear faunus. Roman gripped the and pulled them forward with contemptuous ease putting a bullet into his head and splattering his face with blood and bone.
BANG!
Roman was on fire! As the acrid smell of gunpowder fille this nostrils as he tasted the blood on his lips a wicked smile gripped his face as he had already dropped the dead bear faunus and was singing quite literally into the fight as he dove into the anarchy around him knives and pistol drawn.
Cinder watched with a massive grin as she watched Roman fight. She knew that what was happening was only a small part of a larger agenda as she saw her lover fight. He moved like flowing water as he tore into the faunus civilians with the power of a wrecking ball.
He was like a force of nature, snapping necks, shotting heads, breaking limbs in two and stabbing eyes. She watched as he slashed knives into knecks spilling blood out on the ground before breaking necks and firing with practiced ease, rolling effortlessly along the floor firing twin pistols into skulls. One shot one kill was his way and he never missed a mark.
He fought with such a fluidity of motion and flowing nature it appeared he was dancing rather than engaging in a bloody brawl, as he stabbed one woman in the neck slamming her to the ground before shooting a man in the head and leaping at his feet to grapple the throat of an opposing lion faunus and sending them both crashing into a pew snapping the lions neck in the process.
Cinder grinned, she had meant to see if the dog whistles aggressive affects applied to humans as well as faunus and as for as she was concerned it was a smashing success!
While it did take a notably longer time for any effects to show in humans, the results were still there. It was only a matter of time before a human would descend into chaos and anarchy an attempt to rip and tear into their surroundings spilling as much blood as human possible an-
"Oh, my!" The woman gasped as a faunus attempted to impale Roman from behind with a long jagged broken piece of a wooden pew only for the man to duck the attack split a half with an aura infused punch.
Then in the same motion gripped one of the severed pieces of wood sliding it into the fox faunus neck before doing the same with the other while kicking the attacker in the chest caving in his ribs in the process.
It was madness and Cinder could not be more pleased. If she was, to be honest, and she was rarely honest. She had chosen Roman for this particular task for three reasons.
One she needed somebody she knew. Personally intimately a person who she had figured out down to the last mole on his skin and Roman was that person.
She had not been dating him for years and not paid attention to him, even if he did tend to boast and liven up his tales it was all in good fun and done rather tastefully if she did say so her self.
Two. She needed to see just how far one could go if given the proper tools. Sure any amount of raw fury could kill a man but the presence of firearms and other weapons did tend to speed up the process a considerable amount.
And despite what Roman said a cane was not a regular weapon. While she had no doubts the man's proficiency with Melodic Cudgel as it was called sh need to see the effectiveness of a human under the dog whistle proficiency with regular weapons.
Guns, knives and the like. And from what she could see it was a resounding success! Weter it was training or skills develop over his life Roman was able to utilize both ranged and melee firearms to great effect. Proving that anyone with subaerial training like a hunter for instance or an entire school of them under the dog whistles effect would tear into each other with remarkable efficiency and ease.
Landing head shot after head shot, stabbing into tendons and soft tissue. Never slowing never stopping and never miss a beat. As he wreaks a bloody trail of carnage through the church Cinder had to admit. While Roman was a good fighter, also any professional mercenary could have filled his shoes with roughly the same results.
And with the bonus of being somebody, she did not care about either. So why him? Why put someone she loved, care for in harms way unnecessarily? Especially after she was so hard on Jaune for it?
Well the answer was simple Cinder was a human, well Cinder was mostly human. Her mistress had seen to that little canvas what seemed like ages ago.
But still! She was still a living creature, and like all living mammals she had... urges.
As much as she was loathed to admit it, there was something about Roman killing that just did it for her. She loved it! She remembers the first time they spent together the night after the attack on his car.
Roman never knew, but it was Cinder who ordered the fang to kill him that night. He was beginning to become a problem as well as a meal for her and she wanted to see if he was up to snuff. So to speak.
And as time showed Roman killed the fang came to dinner and took her home where she invited him to her bed for the first but not last time.
After that Cinder noticed something, while Roman always performed well in the bedroom never leaving her wanting there was something missing after their first night.
Some spark some intangible unexplained light that was just gone! While it was not a game charger Cinder was a perfectionist, and she wanted that spark took her the better part of a year to figure out what it was and to grasp at its simplicity.
It was killing. Whenever Roman went through a life or death scenario, his bedroom performance skyrocketed and ever since before any bid day or anniversary. Cinder made sure to send a little package his way usually int he way of white fang extras under captivity tole to kill him to earn freedom or random professional mercenaries, would be sent his way to warm him up so to speak.
Roman would, of course, would kill them rather handily and if she was luckily in an especially brutal fashion then clean up come to dinner and after they would make love in the best way possible.
As she watched the chaos unfold on screen she was also saddened to see it comes to an end as the entire church shook as Roman in a shocking even to her display of brutality broken faunus neck before stuffing alive bomb into his throat and tossing him into a crowd of other faunus only to dive for cover as the entire church shook.
"I hope you rock my world like that." Cinder cooed as Roman fought up.
The rining in Roman's ears was now mercifully dulled as he opened his bleary eyes. Thorugh the smoke and screaming of dying faunus Roman sported a wicked grin as he stood up on shaky legs.
The damn ringing his ears were twice as piercing right now as the gooey remains of intestines and blood rained down around him.
The bomb had turned the majority of the protesters to paste, and now there was only a scant few dead and dying more left soon her would be none and-
"I see you!"
Roman shouted as he ducked past the spear thrust of a faunus with a flagpole. The snake faunus gave him a shocked look before he ripped the pole from his hands and stabbed into the man's chest impaling him into it and laughing maniacally.
"Lord knows I can't change!"
Roman shouted at the top of his lungs as the last faunus a bloodied frenzied dear woman lunged a desperate ax blow that Roman ducked below drawing a blade and breaking her knee with a knife making her drop to her knees in a pool of blood as she dropped her aze only for Roam to tear if form her grips twirl it once and swung it into her neck with a messy THUMP!
Sound as he nailed her to the wall as the light left her eyes as she died on the church floor.
As the ringing noise in his ears began to fade his heart slowed and his pulse quickened as the more ration part of him mind reasserted itself with a vengeance as Roman took in not of the sheer carnage around him.
Heaps of heaps of dead faunus, men women children all ripped to shred shot stabbed clawed to death the room as litter with the dead as the pews were now painted pink with grey matter and long messy ropes of intestines fell down into bizarre, grotesque, macabre flowers and lakes of blood.
Roman wanted to gag to throw up at the sheer madness and unnecessary nature of the slaughter that he had wrought before another, even more, sickening though fille his head as he looked at the piles of dead civilians that he had killed Roman fought the urge to keep his stomach from wretching as he knew deep inside he had enjoyed every second of it...
"Ok, Yang is honest. How bad is it?"
"I gotta say Goldilocks asking me how you look for a date with other girls? Bold move. I like it." Yang said as she eyed the blond boy appraisingly.
He was once again dressed head to toe in a searing white tuxedo as he prepares to invite Pyrrha to his home for dinner.
Jaune and explained the situation as it was more of a knee-jerk reaction and not him actually introducing her as his girlfriend to Yang immense relief as she had not known what to do yet.
She had not given up on her first crush so far, and she was not about to do so now.
"You look like great Goldilocks! You just gotta be yourself, and P-Money will be eating out of your hand! And maybe you'll return that sentiment for her?"
Yang aksed waggin ehr eybora Jauen smirk.
"I thought you wanted that for you? Or have you given up on me firecracker?"
"Don't press your luck Goldilocks. I mean I did help you and you dress as well you so there is no way you'd be anything but excellent!" Yang said nodding proudly as Jaune looked up hopefully in what had to be his Sunday best, sparkling new tux, glistening white dress pants, new boulder hat still fresh with the factory smell and a glittering pair of white shoes.
"Just because I'm helping you does not mean I am above pushing you down...
"Oh help! A strong woman is going to take advantage of me! somebody help this poor boy keep his chastity!"
"You chastity is long gone Goldilocks plus! This is P-Money's night, not mine. I'll get my chance soon enough." Yang said with a smirk as Jaune finally got up and gave her a long hug and walked out of team RWBY's dorm leaving her alone to sigh heavily as she took out her scroll and dialed.
Ring...
Ring...
Ring...
"What do you want Yang?"
A bright searing pair of red eyes asked as Yang grimaced.
"Mom! I-
"How much money do you need?"
"Mom I don't-
"What did you break this time?"
"I didn't-
"Dear Oum, did you get into a fight? Who did you hurt this time? Do you need me to bail you out or-
"Mom I'm not calling because I am in trouble!"
Yang yelled as Raven cocked her head in her scroll window.
"Oh? Then why did you call me?"
"Becuase I need help...
"With?"
"It's a boy...
Yang said as Raven's eye widened before a smug smile came to her face.
"I was waiting for this. Tell me about the lucky lad...
"This is it!" Jaune said sweating vividly as he finally showed Pyrrha to his warehouse home.
Pyrrha had been a bit adhesive coming out downtown Vale in a stunning crimson dress and high heeled shoes as she walked into the seedier parts of downtown.
"It's quite...
"Rundown?"
"No! I meant that it was just.
"Pyrrha calm down I know what my house looks like, trust me it's much better on the inside.
Jaune said alleviating his partner fears he knocked on the door. Before he could even hit the door, it flung open, and a man in a white suit jumped out.
"Jaune! How good to see my favorite son! Who I do not want to be killed or burned alive!"
Roman yelled gripping his son in a tight bear hug before hissing in his ear.
"You little shit! You are so dead!"
"Dad! So glad to see you!"
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"
"Sorry doesn't cut it! Do you know what I had to put up with for the past few days because of you!? Do you!?" Roman asked as Jaune broke the hug with his dad to show his girlfriend to his dad.
"Dad! This is my girlfriend Pyrrha!" Jaune said as Roman's face dropped before turning into a calm smile.
"My son said he found the most beautiful girl in the world and I can see he was not joking! Roman Torchwick! Please to meet you!"
Roman said talking the girl's hand and kissing the top of it making him blush.
"T- Thank you mister Torchwick! But I am technically your son's fiance an-
"Fiance?! Jaune! Something you want to tell your old man! You know before a certain someone hears this and become a bit stabby?"
Roman hiss to his son as Pyrrha regarded the man. Roman was a tall man with light blue hair and searing yellow eyes making him look quite the interesting man as she walked over to him.
"You know you have any juicy tidbits of information that might not get you killed!" He hissed to Jaune before the boy squealed at the top of his lung as a smoldering hand gripped his shoulder and he felt death.
"Jaune! How is my favorite son doing?" A smooth melodic voice said as Jaune quaked in fear.
"Mo- Ci- Mom! How are you!?" Jaune asked quaking in fear as Cinder stayed over to her son and dropped a smoldering hand onto his shoulder making him yelp out in pain as she leaned into him and whispered in his ears.
"We are going to have a long talk about the meaning of stay. Here. After dinner."
Cinder said in a purely terrifying voice making Jaune quake in fear before her face beam light and beatific as she turned to Pyrrha.
"Now! Tell me who is-
Cinder froze, gaged, and balked all in short order as she saw the redhead in front of her. She was prepared to give Jaune's potential girlfriend a full appraisal of competence.
After all, anyone dating her son would only be allowed to do so if she was of the highest of caliber! No random harlot would do as Cinder turned to the girls her jaw nearly fell off her face.
Bu this?!
He was dating Pyrrha, Nikos!? The maiden candidate herself!? Jaune just bought himself a stay of execution. For now...
"Pyrrha Nikos! A pleasure to meet you misses Torchwick!" Pyrrha said as Roman froze as he looked to Cinder who cocked her head.
Her red dress was flowing as she began to giggle at the way life still loved to surprise her.
"It's Miss Fall to you. Cinder is my first name, and Roman and I are not married. We just have our children."
"Oh! I'm sorry!' Pyrrha said evenly before Roman intervened.
"Anyways! Let's go inside yeah! Jaune! Neo has been dying to see you again!" Roman said as he ushered the three people inside before blows were dealt only for Jauen to bore down the moment he stepped inside my a multicolor blur and slammed into a wall.
WHAM!
"GAH! Neo! Please! Air!" Jaune wheezed at the top of his lungs as his sister bore into him slamming him into the wall with the force of a train.
As she forced her chest into him, it took every once of self-restain to not reach out his hands and grip her plump thighs as her pillowy chest was pushed into him as she began to sign.
"What the hell is wrong with you!?" Neo typed eyes clear as she glared daggers at them.
"Neo look! I just-
Jaune paused as he saw Neo's move coming. Years of avoiding her sneak attacks made her rare direct one almost child's play to dodge as she shot her lips forward to capture his own only for Roman to cough loudly as Neo looked ready to murder him.
"Jaune! Don't you want to introduce your sister to someone?" Roman asked glaring bloody murder at his kid as Neo briefly lept off him as she eyed the beautiful red-eyed stranger who looks oddly familiar to her as she took her in.
"Yes! Pyrrha this is my older sister Neo! Neo this is my partner Pyrrha!"
"Hello! It is a pleasure to meet you Neo! Jaune has spoken much about you! All good I assure you!"
"What else would he have to say? I am amazing."
Neo showed her scroll to Pyrrha who looked taken aback before Jaune spoke up.
"Neo is mute Pyrrha. She can't talk so she uses her scroll to communicate."
"Oh! I'm sorry! It's a pleasure Neo."
"Who are you and what is your exact relationship and intentions with my younger brother?"
"Neo!" Roman hissed as Pyrrha cocked her head before smiling broadly.
"I'm his partner and girlfriend!" Pyrrha said as Neo coughed once then froze. The world seemed to grind to a bleeding bloody halt as one tuner her head in a disconcerting manner as she turned it ina near owl-like fashion as she started at Jaune.
Every. Last. Survival instinct in his brain sprung to life as Jaune instantly went to self-preservation.
"Yup! She's my girlfriend! Who I care for with all my heart!" Jaune said strategically placing himself behind his partner while placing her in between his sister who was looking curious as to why Jaune was pushing her in front of him.
"Jaune what's wrong?" Pyrrha asked as her boyfriend began to stand behind her. As it looked like he was hiding? Behind her? In fact, it seems this whole family was backing down for the center as his father Roman?
Was taking several steady steps away from his own daughter as his mother?
Took a single step backward as they both stared at Neo like she was a ticking time bomb. A looks she had no way of understanding why as she cocked her head at her. Neo was an interesting sibling but she was Pyrrha's future sister in law so she needed to get along with her! She was a short curvaceous girl dressed in a tight form fitting white leotard with light green eyes and long black hair and-
"Why don't we go ahead to dinner huh? Yeah! Dinner sounds good!" Roman said as the user this family to an immaculate long dinner table covered ina thing white cloth.
"That's a great idea! Pyrrha! Come on let's go eat!" Jaune said as he began to pull the girl who cocked her head at him "But what about Neo? She looks disturbed an-
"She is fine my dear. Leave her be for now. I think we have many more pressing matters to discuss." Cinder? Said as her flickering amber eyes looked at Pyrrha who felt a sudden sense of dread in her soul.
She had no idea why but Jaune's mother this Cinder woman made her feel a chill fo dread in her shoulder that shook her to her very core as they walked to dinner.
The Spartan was forced to admit that the inside of the house was much better than the outside of the area. As she looked around despite, it is a plain warehouse it was well furnished.
If not sparsely so. There was a singular blood red couch that looked like ti was Vacuo customed made and probably cost more than any of eating in the warehouse. Followed by a large flat screen televised and a singular coffee table in front of it.
Thre where several stacks of archaic-looking music boxes that were stacked high up on the side of the metal stell walls.
There were a lone small refrigerator and a small kitchen that seemed to make up the bulk of the warehouses cooking material.
After that they appear to be a pair of bathroom int he far back and a small table that seemed to be the main area of room usage.
Following that Pyrrha felt a glow in her heart as he looked at the fridge. It was covered in numerous child's drawing that had the words Jaune+Neo on them. Showing what she assumed was her boyfriend and sister as a child as she saw two figures one blue one pink holding hands in harmony.
Thought the pictures did lose a bit of her char as the other pictures seemed to show the pink figure dragon kicking? The blue one and his crying out in pain or picker her up by her leg and slamming her to the floor.
As she walked past the odd childhood drawings, her gaze lingered around the well-lit house until she saw it and screamed.
"Is that a tank!?"
Pyrrha asked as what could only be described as a main battle tank stood proudly in the living room with panties!? Hanging off of it.
"Jaune? Why do you have a tank in your house? And why are their feminine undergarments hang from it?" The sprat aksed chuckling nervously as Jaune gripped his father.
"Oh, that?! That's nothing! Just decoration!"
"Decoration?" Pyrrha asked as Jaune hissed into his father's ear.
"Why the hell is that thing here!? I told you I was having a guest over!"
"Oh excuse me, your highness! Maybe if you had stayed on the Oum damn couch we could have talked about moving it! But since you did not you have no room to complain!"
Roman hissed as he and his son began to bicker as Pyrrha moved to the ding table wary of the tank and undergarments that adorned it, she found her seat at the large dinner table next Jaune and sat down on a comfortable plush chair as Jaune sat next to her.
"Ther we go! Pyr! Much better now right?"
'Yes. But what about her? Is Neo going to be all right?"
Pyrrha asked as the girl still stood affixed to her spot frozen like an ice statue, as she had still yet to move from her spot where Jaune told her that they were dating. As what looked like suspiciously like smoke? Was coming from her ears as she eyed the pictures of them together.
Maybe Jaune was a sheltered child? Pyrrha thought before Cinder spoke.
"She's fine my dear. Please. Let's enjoy our meal yes?" Cinder asked as she places a large silver tray of delicate meat that Pyrrha guessed to be ham of some sort on the table. This was soon followed by several large crystal glasses which Cinder went through the trouble of pouring wine!?
Pyrrha gulped as she was technically not old enough to drink but this was a special occasion after all and she did not mean to seem awkward around her boyfriends family especially when they where brin this accommodating to her.
"Thank you, miss Fall I-
Pyrrha jerked as the sound of shatter glass filled the air a Neo appeared on the seat across from her staring death inot her.
"Neo!? How did-
"Her semblance. She can teleport." Roman said as sat next to his daughter placing a placating hand on her should as hs looked to twitch in rage as she eyed Jauen like he was about to die.
"Hey Neo! How's my favorite-
"OWW!" Jaune hissed as steel toe boot connected with his shins making him yelp in pain as he was reminded of the other part of his sister semblance.
Not only could Neo teleport and make illusion she could also force her self to other places.
As she could literally tear open a hole in reality and force parts of her body into them...
Like she could punch him in the face when he opened a cabinet door while sitting lazily on the couch, she could grab ice cream thought the fridge walls and kicked him in the shin across the dinner table making him wince in pain as she stared bloody murder into his eyes.
As Jaune winced in pain, he caught the frantic signing that Neo began only for Roman to glare at her and stopped before tapping her fork against her plate in a blunt morse code that Jaune knew far too well.
"What the hell is wrong with you!? Girlfriend!? Girlfriend!? You got a girlfriend!? I thought I was your girlfriend!?"
"We never had an official grant and-
"Jaune!"
Neo yelled stabbing a fork into a pocket dimension and impaling her brother in the leg as dinner began...
"So Pyrrha. You must have your hands full in Beacon. It can't be easy being a young huntress in training now, can it? I mean it must feel like the whole world is being placed on your shoulders."
Cinder cooed as the gears began to turn in her head. This was beyond perfect! The literal maiden candidate in her house! All she needed to do was plant a few seeds in her mind and poison her thought against Ozpin and the maidens!
"Oh, it's nothing! I am handling it like I do most everything."
Pyrrha said happily as she flashed her a winning smile that Ciner returned fully.
"Oh, I'm sure you are! I mean you are not only able to balance a huntress career, being on a team but also looking after my fool of a son who can't seem to keep himself out of harm's way for an afternoon while his mother goes out to shop!"
Cinder added a bit more pointedly the necessary. As Neo stopped her under the table harassment of her brother as she cast a quick glance at her mother who nodded to her in approval and she continued her attack.
"I admit watching Jaune has not been... the easiest of tasks. Pyrrha admitted with a grimace looking over at Jaune who looked like he was in pain? As his sister glared daggers at him. Multi-colored eyes that looked oddly familiar to the Spartan like she had seen her before..."
"Oh? Do go on. Tell me exactly what my son has been up to in his tenure as a hunter in training."
Cinder asked voice dripping with honey as Jaune screamed to his soul.
"Well, when I first met him in the locker rooms he was flirting with not only me but the girl I was with."
"Who was?"
"Have you ever heard of Weiss Schnee?" Pyrrha asked as Cinder gaged as Roman did a spit take.
"I knew you were bold but really!? Jaune?" Roman asked as Jaune nodded before Cinder calmed down.
" I must say he gets that from his father. Never knows when to quit!"
"But I am glad you managed a stable, exclusive relationship."
Cinder added as Jaune and Roman tugged the collar of their shirts.
"Sadly it is not as exclusive as I first thought."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
" I mean he has the nasty habit of flirting with everything and anything with a skirt and two legs. Regardless of who is in the room. Significant other or not!"
Pyrrha said as for a brief moment both her and Neo shot baleful glares at the blonde boy who gulped as his father sighed.
"I raised an idiot...
Roman said dryly as Jaune glared at him.
"Hey!"
"He definitely gets that from his father. I remebr when Roma was considerably more wiley. Pyrrha you must keep a firm hand on a Torchwick man or they will run off on you."
"Is that how you keep Roman... in check?"
"Oh no. Roman is madly in love with me and I him. But I keep him in line thought mutual beneficial relationship. And fear."
Cinder said as Roman gulped and Pyrrha nodded.
"I see. I do not like using fear myself in my relationships."
"And nor should you. Pyrrha you said you are my son's fiance does that mean you love him?"
"Yes," Pyrrha answered without hesitation make Neo balked, and Roman sighed.
"Then if you are seriously considering being his wife that would make me your mother in law correct?"
"Yes... Why?"
"Because if I am to be your mother in law, I see it only fair to offer you some parental advice. Specifically, something that happened to me as a child like yourself. When I was young I was a lot like you, you know?"
"What happened to you Miss Fall?"
"Please! Call me mother!"
"Ok mother... What happened to you?"
"When I was young I was quite the influential person you know? My name was in all the magazines all the tabloids had my picture, and I was the talk of Vacuo! For a time."
"That sounds nice. What was the problem?"
"Well, you see I like you wanted to become a huntress. I wanted to save as many lives as possible! But in order to do that, I had to make a choice between my career which was as a model! Of all things, at the time if you can believe it."
"I know I can." Roman chuckled before Cinder batted an innocent hand on his shoulder that burned hot enough to cut steel making him yelp.
"Easy dear... As I was saying! Not only was I blessed with good looks I was blessed with incredible talent and skill. I could fight, think and act like a true leader and I was determined to use that skill for the betterment of others."
Cinder said easily relish the enratpre looks Pyrrha was givign her. Good I have her eating out of the palms of my hands. Cinder thought as she continued to work.
"That sounds grand! Mother! But why is this a problem?"
"Becuase Pyrrha I was soon to get a harsh reality check. I did not know that years and years of being lauded as sometype of an invincibel goddess of Remnant put me on somewhat of a pedestal."
"Everybody knew Cinder Fall! The supermodel turned huntress but at the same time despite everybody knowing who CInder Fall was nobody knows me. I was alone trapped on an isolated island. With no one knowing the real me. They all treated me like some kind of goddess made flesh!"
"Like I was this untouchable being that was somehow better than them just because I was born! It was ridiculous! It was so bad that I never got a chance to make friends. I was alone and lost in word that did not know and did not care."
"I understand exactly what you mean. More than you know...
Pyrrha said in a sad tone as Cinder nodded.
"But it was not so bad! I was put on a team with my associates. One was a bit of snarker, and the other had a serious case of sticky fingers but they where good people and the other had a taste for ice cream!"
Cinder said as Neo rolled her eyes and parroted her mother's mouth with her hand mimicking her motions with her own as Cinder ground her teeth.
"Anyways they became my new family. Ther treated me like I was just a person, not a celebrity. They saw the real me. It was amazing."
"I know the feeling. My team means more to me than anything."
Pyrrha said solemnly as Cinder grinned internally.
"Then please listen to me. If the truly mean that much to you then do not let them be taken away from you."
"What? How?"
Pyrrha asked as the table seemed to freeze as all eyes turned to Cinder as a hushed silence fell over the table.
"When I was young. My headmaster came to me and me alone with an offer. He told me that I alone could help people a lot of people! That I could save lives! All I had to do was sacrifice my self."
Cinder said as the table all stared at her as her family stared at her with a shocked expression as she pressed onward.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean I was a young girl, I was taken to a room alone and afraid, and I was told that if I did not make an impossible decision that the word might end."
" I was taken alone and away from my team and told by those that thought! They knew what was best for me to make an impossible decision that in the end cost me everything."
"My team fell apart, I tried to save everybody and I lost everything instead. I lost my real family, and until I met Roman I was left alone once again."
"I'm so sorry...
"Don't be sorry Pyrrha be smart. Don't be tricked. If someone comes to you with an impossible decision. When you are taken alone, and afraid don't let them make you their sacrifice."
"Don't let yourself be taken in stories of old and fairy tales. You are yourself. No one else. If you allow yourself to become merged or altered you will no longer be you. You could lose your friends, your family and everything you ever cared about."
Cinder said as Pyrrha stared a cold glare int her amber eyes as emerald orbs fixed onto her.
"I will not be anyone's sacrifice. This I promise you." Pyrrha said as Cinder nodded.
"Good girl." Cinder said as she clapped her hands.
"Now how about some dessert? I made a wonderful cake!" Cinder said as she unveiled another metal serving try with five slices of white cake with a cherry onto as she bowed her head.
"Dig in please." Cinder said as she served herself and took a sip of her drink...
"What!? Why is he going back!?" Neo shouted as Jaune was preparing to leave with his girlfriend. Neo hesitated to use that word as she nearly spat it out of her mouth.
She didn't care how beautiful this girl was Neo was far superior to her in every way shape and form! She was the perfect combination of cute and seductive.
With a cut pouty statute full hips c-cup breasts an hourglass figure, she was perfect! And this damned skank thought that she could just steal her brother away?!
Neo had been glaring dagger back and forth with his girlfriend after Cinder spent half the dinner spinning that wonderfully trite tail about her and being a supermodel of all things.
Neo didn't know who she was more disgusted with her mother or the girl. One for giving what had to be the worst and most conceded lie in human history or Pyrrha for actually believing her!
As the girl swooned over her story eating every bite of Neo spent her time greeting her idiot of a brother who was somehow blind to her own beauty and was refusing to meet her eyes.
Even if he refused to meet them, he could not hide from her toe heels as she began to kick him into his shin making him wince in pain as she did.
It was bad enough he had gone and almost gotten himself killed in the freeway now he not only had one but a multitude of girls he was hitting on when she specifically! Told him not to?
This was ridiculous! And now Roman was gon to send him back with her, and that was unacceptable!
As she glared at the girl jaune nodded his head as Roman walked over.
"Neo. Sweaty Jaune has to go home now. You know this right?"
Roman asked his daughter hoping to avoid another massacre, it was a damned miracle that this Emerald person semblance had held up during dinner and Roam did not want to press their luck...
"This is his home! We are his home!" Neo said in her scroll making Roman pull the color of his tuxedo as Pyrrha herself walked over to her.
"Neo I know that you are worried about your brother and I promise you I will take good care of him."
Pyrrha said as Neo glared at her and began to composed a scathing scroll message before Pyrrha bent down and gave Neo a hug of all things as she whispered in her ear.
"You missed your chance short stuff. He's mine. Don't get in the way; he's found another warm body of a lay down with at night."
"I hope you have a wonderful day!"
Pyrrha chirped as Neo balked as the girl's mouth dropped in shock an has the apparently oblivious champion smiled betifcally as she walked away from her with Jaune in arm.
Neo was too shocked as the two walked out of the door before Pyrrha turned around and waved at her.
"Good night everyone! Roman, Mother Neo! It was a wonderful evening and thank you for having me!"
Pyrrha said before opening her hand and dropping a bright red object not he ground as she held Neo's glare and brought her heel down on the shiny red object and popped it before slamming the door and walking away.
Neo stood there gawking like a bass flummoxed as she looked down to the shatter red object it was a cherry...
"Jaune! I need to talk with you!" Ruby said as she jumped onto the spare bed in the Beacon guest rooms.
Jaune and has been pulled by force mind you. From the bullhead docking area all the way to the top of Beacon in the guest rooms where Ruby had somehow succeeded in abducting him from Pyrrha and taking him to the top of the building.
As the two now stood alone in the top of Beacon in the most underutilized and secluded part of Beacon proper as Ruby sat on a rather comfy looking guest bed as she stared up at him with sharp eyes.
"What's up to Ruby? Why did you drag me here anyway?" Jaune asked the reaper who nodded her head and smiled brighter than the sun to him.
"Simple! I Want us to have a deeper relationship!"
Ruby said as Jaune cocked his head at the young girl.
"Deeper?"
"I want to have a mature relationship with you Jaune!"
Ruby said opening her arms as Jaune gave her a confused looked
"What does that mean exactly?"
"I want to have sex! Real sex with you!"
Ruby said as Jaune did a spit take as the girl grabbed his hand and pressed it to her chest.
"Jaune, I'm tired of people making fun of me. They call me a child they say I don't know anything. That I'm not ready for a serious relationship! With this, I want to prove them wrong!"
Ruby said as Jaune instinctively gripped her breast and kneaded it.
It was inhumanly soft and quite small but growing, and fit perfectly into Jaunes palms as the boy felt his breathing quicken.
Ruby was attractive; she was young but she was cute, had an adorable figure. But! She was just that. She was young! As in barely legal young and she was in almost Blake category of closeness with him.
It wasn't that he didn't want to have sex with her it was just that he didn't want to hurt the girl.
Ruby despite her words was an innocent girl. He did not want the first time to be with him if he was not ready to have a stable, exclusive relationship with her.
But as the girl pulled him down Jaune sighed as he realized that even if he had already stopped thinking, but he was not about to be a dick and hurt his friends felling. That would never happen. Period.
As he pushed the girl down to the bed layin small kissed all across her body, even if he was not going to have sex with her, there were still other things he could do as a girl came to face as Jaune remembered an old phrase.
They said life was a long and winding path, and that there was nothing wrong with now and then if you stopped to sniff the Roses...
AN" Well there it is! The next chapter of Jaune Torchwick! The dinner was a hit Neo was incensed and a certain green-haired thief is thrown into the mix! Now all that's left is to kick-start the next arc and we are good! Maybe a certain cat has an epiphany and realizes that the boy who she is madly in love iwth looks surprisingly like her family and put two and two togther... Or maybe not! Until next time! Enjoy and Omake.
Omake. Guardians of Remnant. Part two First encounters...
"Need some help?" An adorable girl with silver eyes asked as Jaune looked up at her.
"Who are you?" Jaune asked as he stared up at the girl in front of him. She was a short girl with a rep cape black hair, a punk-gothic attire with jet black combat boots red skirt and top with crosses? On her chest.
"Ruby! Ruby Rose! And I'm here to rob you!"
DODGE!
His helmet barked as Jaune rolled to the left barley doing a flash of silver as a massive scythe cut into the ground making Jaune yelp in fear as an incredibly too big gardening tool was implanted into the ground as several nearby civilians scream and run in panic.
"Hey! Watch the hair!"
Jaune yelled before firing two shots of Crocera Mors, into the girl who yelped in panic as twin bright yellow energy bolts bore into her as she fell backward in a twisting mass of limbs giving jauena gimpls of Beowulf!? Printed underwear as her aura flared out in a bright blue ball as Jaune began to sprint the other way before Ruby yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Get him Pyrrha!" The girl yelled as Jaune sprinted into a crowd of gawking civilians dashing between the starteld Vale onlookers before he crashed into a tall stunningly beautiful woman with green eyes, a burning red outfit and a solid stature.
"Excuse me! Out of the way beautiful stranger who I have no idea who you are!"
Jaune said dodging past the woman before a strong hand gripped his should as the ground left his feet before he was slammed to the floor as a spear appeared to his neck.
"Ow! Was that necessary spartan woman?"
Jaune asked as the redhead warrior flared at him before opening her mouth as she spoke in a melodic voice.
"You! Do you really not know who I am?!" Pyrrha? Asked as Jaune wheezed for an instant, as he stares into the beautiful woman.
She was ridiculously beautiful with long red hair, green eyes, and bronze plate armor. She held some type of mecha shift wear guns weapon as she glared at Jaune.
"Besides the woman who's holding a spear to my neck? Not at all!"
Jaune said flashing her a smile s she gasped before a shrill voice called out.
"Pyrrha! Now is not the time for you to star crush! He's our target and-
FIZZZTTTT!
Ruby stopped talking as a sizeable golden net of all things fell over her shocking her with the sound of firing electricity pumped into her body filling it with electricity making hte girl convulse in what was a decisively unhealty fashion as she fell to the ground. The smell of burrnig flesh filled the air as Pyrrha? Gasped.
"Ruby!" Pyrrha? Asked before a sudden force yanked her off of her feet and tossed her into a large burlap sack and-
"No, you ginger idiot! Not her! Him!"
A sharp feminine voice yelled as Jaune turned to see a tall faunus girl with amber eyes glaring at another taller girl in an absolutely garish white green and black outfit with red hair and freckles. Who was in the process of stuffing Pyrrha into a large bulaped sack despite the red heads shouts of protest and venomus glares.
"I am Penny."
The ginger girl said to the faunus who hissed at her.
"No you fool! She is not our target!"
"I am Penny?"
"What?! Of course not! You need to let her out!"
"I am Penny!"
"I am not blaming you! I'm just saying that-
"I. Am. Penny."
"look I-
"He's getting away!" Ruby yelled poking out of her electrocuted web as she pointed to what was now a rapidly sprinting blonde dot that was growing ever more distant as the cat girl sighed at the top of her lungs.
"Not on my watch! I'm out of tuna, and this idiot needs a software update!"
The girl said as bent her knees asn a whire of tubines filled the wair as her boots began to glow.
"What the hell is happening!? Why are the girls trying to abduct me! I mean usually this is the stuff I dream of but this is ridiculous!"
Jaune said sprint thoguh Vale despertelytrying ot get away with his life and paycheck intact, before a sudden force followed by the whine of turbines tackled him into the ground sending them both spiraling off the sidewalk and sent them both into a small fountain. As the two splashed into the fountain they both fell as the girl hissed at the top of her lungs.
"Great! Now I'm wet! Human, I swear if your bounty is not wort this you are dead meat!"
The girl hissed as Jaune glared at her.
"Who the hell are you, people?! You just come to me trying to rob me and-
"I am Penny!"
"Oh, what now?"
The girl asked as the other ginger was currently in the process of getting a variety of levitating sword arms?! Cut off by the red head as Pyrrha? Was it cut her swords off as Penny? Looked genuinely hurt by the actions.
"I am Penny...
"You said that before! Now stop trying to put me in the damn bag!'
"I am Penny!"
"Penny! Stop trying to-
FIZZTT!
The woman stopped talking s ball of blue energy crashed into her as Ruby fired into her back.
"Hah! That's for before!"
Ruby said triumphantly before a gold laser stuck her and then her companions as a wall of drones approached them.
"Attention criminals you are all under arrest!"
" A monotone novice sad As Jaune sighed.
"Why me?" Jaune asked as the damned Vale peacekeepers began to round them up.
"Name. Jaune Arclord. Abducted as a child from the Arc Household by the terrorist Adam Taurus. Served in the white fang for the majority of his life before defecting. Status wanted criminal and-
