"I loved Cinder's reaction to everything falling apart with out her doing anything, I can just imagine her seeing the news and going "Don't you dare fall apart on your own society, I had a fucking plan and you will not take this from me." I love that it bothers her so much."

Yeah, this whole story is one bid butterfly effect. One small action has led to all this happening and I went to great lengths to express who, why, and how it affects various characters throughout the story. Showing that the main characters may drive the story but the whole world does revolve around them. In chapter fifty-six she had planted the seed, so to speak. But it did grow on its own.

Roland Arc was more frustrated than when his wife decided all that talk about making a ninth kid was for nothing and leaving him with a hard as nails boner the whole night.

"Jaune, where could you be?" He thought.

When he heard James had actually lost Jaune in a convoy incident with the White Fang and he was out here in the streets. Roland honestly expected Jaune to just come to them after a while. But he didn't.

Did Atlas find him again?

Did he get amazing at ducking and running in the past year he's been gone?

Did Jaune really become a White Fang supporter?

All Roland had was questions and absolutely no answers to show for it.

"Jaune please. Where could you be?"

Ring*

Ring*

Roland looked to his scroll and found it was from the same unknown caller from the last two calls.

Ring-*

He decided to humor whoever this was. Just to get them to shut up.

"Yes. What is it." Roland said clearly angry.

"...If you're mad I can just call later."

Roland would never admit it, but his heart skipped a beat.

"Jaune?"


"So I should have gone out to dinner or something?" Jaune asked.

"How could you not have!" Neptune cried in disbelief.

Jaune winced. "I guess it never crossed my mind too. We were happy with what was already happening."

He there his arms up in frustration. "Regardless, a relationship goes beyond moves in the bedroom. It's clear as day Sienna has feelings for you. But what about getting to know one another? What're her parent's names? What does she like to eat? What does she do in her free time? What're her treasured childhood memories? What does she like to wear? What's even her favorite color?"

"You think we should talk to one another and have gone on more dates like everyone else."

"YES!" Neptune yells relieved."Finally, it clicks for you!"

"You sure have a lot to say about the topic."

"Well, when you a successful ladies man. Who's dated so many women in life you tend to pick things up like how a relationship should work."

"...So you've dated a lot of women right."

"Right." He nodded.

"But uh... have you ever actually kept one for very long?" Jaune asked.

"..."

"..."

"Do you know anyone who's married?"

"Um, just my dad."

"Talk to him alright."

"Wait Nep!" Sun swiped the scroll and stared intently into the screen. "Have you ever had a girlfriend that stayed with you before!?"

"... Well, I've liked a lot of girls and have dated all of them." He replied quickly.

"Yeah, but have you actually had a real girlfriend you've been with for a very long time?" Sun more demanded than asked.

"Um... well I um... bye."

Beep*

"Ugh!" Sun groaned in disbelief. "Guess I'm back to square one. A box of chocolates is the best way to go for now... see ya Jaune. Good luck with Sienna."

"Thanks. I have a lot to think about and a scroll call to make."


"Jaune?" Roland asked.

"H-Hey, dad. It's me." Jaune said nervously.

"Jaune!" Roland cried. "Juniper! Juniper come on and get in here its Jaune! He's really on the scroll! Ah, wait. She left to get groceries. Damn it!"

"Dad!" Jaune hushed down. "Keep it quite. Atlas could be listening in."

"Oh please! As if Atlas troopers could do anything but be cannon fodder. Well, be fine."

"Regardless. Be a little silent please."

"Okay. Okay. I'll quiet down now." Roland sighed. "Now where are you? How are you calling me anyhow?"

There was a slight pause and several sharp noises coming from the background.

"I can tell you, dad. My friends think it would brig Atlas down on us."

"So you're hiding with your friends right now." Roland concluded.

"Um... forget I said that!" Jaune cried out. "Anyway. I needed to ask you something about marriage."

Roland got serious and leaned forward. "Did something happen between you and your wife before the two of you got caught."

"No. Um... my relationship with Sienna is more or less just kisses and sex. I wanted to know what you ad mom where like before you got married and them after."

"Well, how did you and Sienna Khan come to meet and marry?" Roland asked.

"...Well."


"If I knew anything I'd tell you!" A young Fang grunt screamed.

"I'm sorry but it sounded like you said 'Oh, please cut off my last remaining finger' but that can't be right now can it?" The red woman replied through her Grimm mask.

"Look, " He panted out. "His name is Adam Taurus, he's the leader of the branch here in Vale. That's AAAHHH!"

She stabbed her Katana down and remove his pinky. A ball of fire appeared in her hand and she burned the wound close and roasted his hand like the nine times before.

"W-Whyyyy!" Tears streamed down his face.

"You repeated information. I believe I already told you the outcome of such an action." She said nonchalantly. "Now if you really don't know who this Taurus is working under. I'll ask you this and I will receive a clear and satisfying answer." She pushed her crimson blade against his throat. "Ready?"

He nodded.

"Good. Now, tell me why Adam Taurus wants Blake Belladonna and Jaune Arc?"

"...I-I don't know."

The blade pierced the skin and a trickle of blood ran down his throat.

"THERE EX-LOVERS! HIM AND BELLADONNA! HE WANTS HER TO CAME BACK TO HIM AND THE ARC CUT OFF HIS CAT'S EAR!" He shouted.

"Is that all?"

"YES! YES! JUST PLEASE LET ME GO!"

The Katana pushed through his neck and out the other side. Before swiftly being pulled back out. Leaving his blood to leak out both ends and him choking for air.


Raven cleaned off her blade with a rag and left the warehouse. She had a name and motive now.

"With an entire army of heavily armed fanatical Faunus at his back." She sighed. "No one said being a fairy godmother would be easy."


"That's it really." Jaune finished the retelling of his and Sienna's union.

There was the longest pause before Roland spoke. "Jaune where do even I begin."

"How about what I need to do now." Jaune suggested.

"Okay. Well, now you need to just talk to her. Figure out who she is and let her know who you are. Take out to the movies or a restaurant. Get her a gift. Nothing too glamorous really. Just a box of chocolates in a heart-shaped box. Girls love their chocolate in a heart-shaped box I tell you."

"Can confirm!" A little girls voice shouted from the background.

"R-Ruby!" Another more orders female voice cried in disbelief. "Damn it, Weiss! Your cutesy stuff with Sun has corrupted my sister!"

"Hey, it wasn't me!" The supposed Weiss cried back in defense.

"Ruby!" There was a clear struggle as the second voice tackled the Ruby. "Ruby! Ruby, tell your big sis! Are you still pure! No one has dare date to taint my little rose!?"

"No Yang! It was just a gift and just one time but I really liked it!" The Ruby cried out in desperate grunts as she clearly attempted to remove herself from the one now know as Yang.

There was laughter that Ruby responded to. "Blake stop sitting on your bunk and help me!"

"Atlas still has your wife but they're getting desperate for assistance with Mistral. I think we may be able to negotiate something."

"What's been going on with Mistral?" Jaune asked genuinely confused.

"Just read the news sometimes okay."

"Okay, dad. Thanks for the help, but I need to take care of this. Bye, I love you."

"Bye I love you!"

Beep*

"So, Jaune is in a room with his friends. So he's at Beacon. His friends are Ruby, Weiss, Yang, and Blake. All first names only, but I can run all that through."

Jaune didn't tell him where he was, but that didn't mean Roland couldn't investigate for his location.


Ruby fell back gasping for air when she was finally pulled from Yangs vice-like grip.

"UGH! Yang why?! I just go a gift from a boy who liked me back at Signal. It was nothing!"

"That was clearly not nothing! I needed to make sure no one corrupted my pure Rose."

"So which one of you guys are going to the finals?" Jaune asked hoping to change the subject.

"We decided it'd be Weiss. She needs to be there. Any less would be seen as a sign of weakness and submission to the hate around her and her kind." Blake answered.

"Um kind?" Weiss raised an eyebrow.

"I mean Atlas of course." Blake corrected.

"Of course that's what you meant." Weiss rolled her eyes but grew a smile.

"I've got some things to plan for Sienna. If dad can really get her out of jail I need to be prepared!" Jaune thought.

Things were really looking up for everyone!


Cinder sat at a round table with Emerald, Mercury, and Neo. 'Her' plans were coming together. Adam already knew his task and was prepared to move on the signal. Mercury knew his part tomorrow and how it would go down. Hazel was willing to assist her with going into the Beacon vaults if only to take a swing at Ozpin before they search for the Arc boy.

Speaking of which.

"Emerald are you clear with your task?" Cinder asked.

"Look for Jaune Arc and sedate him as quickly as possible. Do not injure him in any way, shape, and or form." The girl recited her orders for the fifth time.

Yes, fifth.

One does not simply anger lady Salem. If one wished to live for very long.

"Neo, " The ice cream themed girl looked up from her nails. "Are you certain your illusions will hold when Mercury is hit?"

Neo confidently nodded.

"Mercury, will you do exactly what I told you to do?"

"Yup. You can count on me. Even if it's gonna hurt."

"Pff. As if!" Emerald snarked. "You'll find some way to botch this up. I just know it."

Mercury glared.

"Ma'am, why is Neo being the one who using the illustrious? I'm more than capable of-"

"No, you are not Emerald." The green haired girl paused and shrank down looking ashamed. "It's not that your powers are ineffective dear Emerald." She perked back up. "It's just Neo's glass illusions are more real to the touch and can easily fool the entire stadium. Cameras included."

"Of course ma'am."

"Good. The new virus will arrive today and with it, the Atlan machines will do their part."

The modifications would only prevent the bots from attacking Jaune Arc, Sienna Khan, and Qrow Branwen, where ever that man was, and their respective families.

Speaking of Sienna Khan.

"Neo, you will inform Roman about his extra task with Sienna Khan. Will, you not?"

Said girl begrudgingly shook her head in agreement.

"Good. With all that in order, we can now proceed with the final phase of the plan."
