AN: Hello and welcome to the tenth chapter of the story!

I am so sorry that I wasn't able to update in a long time. Just know that it is now summer, so I might be able to update some of my stories, as well as make a couple of new stories in the process as well.

Where I last left off was dueing the fight on the docks, in which Jaune, Blake, and their backup was in the middle of fighting Roman and the White Fang. Not only that, but Roman decides to introduce Jaune to Neo.

I will definitely pair Jaune with Neo as well, because this story will have a harem, just to let everyone know.

Also, I might do a story where Qrow has an unknown son, tell me what you think about that.

Anyways, at the end of this chapter, Jaune will be called out for the things he did when he was an assassin.

Time to get this chapter started.

HERE WE GO!

Jaune's P.O.V. -

MERDE!

I am a fucking idiot! My grandfather would have my head if he ever learned of what I did tonight. After everything my grandfather taught me, I end up forgetting the fucking first thing he ever taught me: "Never underestimate you target". And what did I do as soon as reinforcements came in, believing that Blake and I took care of Torckwick?

I UNDERESTIMATED TORCHWICK!

When Roman called for his backup, including that girl -Neo - Junior, his boys, and the Twins began to fight the White Fang, Blake took Torchwick on her own, so that meant I was gonna fight Neo on my own.

As soon as I laid eyes on Neo, I immediately recognized a trained killer was in front of me. It kinda shocked me, learning that there was another assassin my age, maybe even younger than me. Then again, back on Earth, there were other young assassins like me, but they were only the protégés of other assassins, whereas I was a professional assassin.

But, while I noticed that she was an assassin like me, she simply smiled at me, meaning that she was underestimating me.

That's gonna be her downfall...

Third P.O.V. -

Jaune immediately rushed at Neo, throwing punches at the petite girl, who simply dodged or blocked the attacks.

Neo retaliated by performing a high-kick, aiming at Jaune's face, but he managed to dodge it. He then dropped down and sweeped her legs, only for Neo to actually backflip in the air, and land gracefully on her feet. She still gave Jaune that smug look on her face as she charged at him, using her parasol to hit the blonde.

As Jaune blocked each strike, he muttered to himself,

"Let's see if this is going to work..."

Neo raised her parasol above her head, and brought it down on Jaune's head, only for Jaune to block it with his left arm. He reared his right fist back, and activated the Dust in his jacket, and saw electricity covering his right arm. He thrusted his fist towards Neo, whose eyes widened as she felt electricity go throughout her entire body.

She stepped back a bit, and slightly glared at the blonde assassin, who had taunted her by copying the smug look she had.

It made Neo angry a bit, which was what Jaune wanted.

Neo rushed at Jaune once more, and tried to kick him across the face, only for the blonde to block with his left arm, and saw that ice was slowly forming around her leg. Jaune then kicked her in the chest, and said to her,

"What do you think of the jacket? Ice for defense, and lightning for offense? Pretty clever, huh?"

That was when Jaune pulled out one of his handguns, and fired a round at the girl, who actually shattered into a million pieces. Jaune was shocked at first, but luckily he reacted on instinct, and dogded an incoming attack from behind.

Jaune threw another punch at Neo, but she shattered again, this time Neo managed to get a hit in, causing the blonde to stagger a bit. Neo didn't stop from there, for she performed a series of kicks, jabs, and strikes from her umbrella, each attack connecting to a certain part of Jaune's body. He staggered back and fired another round at Neo, only for her to once again shatter into pieces.

From that point, Jaune spoke,

"I have to admit: You have some skill..."

Unknowingly to the blonde assassin, Neo smiled smugly from the praise she was receiving from her opponent, only for that to change when he added,

"...for someone of your caliber."

The fuck is that supposed to mean?

"Don't get me wrong: With that Semblance of your's, you could kill anyone you want easily. But then again, that's what makes you - "

Jaune's monologue was cut short as he grabbed the thin blade that came from Neo's parasol. The girl's eyes widened as she saw her attack being blocked instantly. Jaune looked behind his shoulder, and finished his statement.

" - Predictable. Not only that but you're - "

Jaune performed a sidekick, causing Neo to step back a bit, then pulled out his other handgun, and began to fire multiple rounds at the petite girl, who used her parasol as a shield from the bullets. She charged at Jaune, only to be thrown onto the ground by a judo-flip.

" - Undisciplined - "

The blonde holstered both his handguns, and began to easily deflect every attack Neo began to throw at him. Then he grabbed her arm, the one that held the parasol, and slammed her towards one of the containers.

" - and disrespectful. If you hadn't lowered your guard, thinking that our fight was gonna be easy for you, then you might've actually killed me. Speaking of which - "

Jaune pulled out his dagger, and pressed the blade against the girl's neck.

"You better tell me what you know."

He waited a few moments for the girl to speak, but she simply looked at him, sticking her tongue out at the assassin. Jaune immediately realized that she was mute. He mentally swore, considering that Neo was not literally able to give him information that he needed. The blonde sheathed his dagger, much to Neo's confusion, froze both her wrists to the container, and actually apologized,

"Sorry about that. You may be an assassin, but you're still a lady, a beautiful one at that. It's honestly a shame... I would've loved to hear your voice."

Neo processed what she actually heard, and felt her cheeks to warm up a bit. To be honest, it was kinda weird and arousing to see someone trying to kill you apologize and say you're beautiful at the same time.

Both the young Cat-Faunus and the criminal were engaged in a fight of their own. Blake uncharacteristically took Roman head-on, while he simply countered each attack that was thrown at him. Blake even went far as to use the KSG that Jaune gave her, trying to get very close to Roman to use the shotgun at its most effectiveness.

But Roman saw this and dodged to the left, kneeing her in the stomach and then swung his cane at her, each strike hitting her wherever on her body. Then he aimed his crosshairs at Blake, but a banana-peel that fell from the sky blinded him as he pulled the trigger, an explosion going off near Blake.

That was when someone shouted,

"Am I late to the party?"

Jaune looked at the source of the voice, and grinned as he saw Sun Wukong, sitting on top of the containers, looking down at the ensuing fight between Junior's men and the White Fang.

"Are you kidding me? You're right on time, camarade!"

The Monkey-Faunus then jumped from his spot, and landed inbetween multiple White Fang members. He then placed both hands behind his back, and pulled out two nunchucks, and started to attack as many of the members as he could. Jaune regrouped with his fellow blonde, and asked him,

"Sun! Why are you here?"

"I was in the neighborhood, when I heard something that nearly made my ears bleed, followed by a couple of explosions."

"Some of that was my fault, but glad to help us out!"

"Don't mention it!"

That was when Sun connected his nunchucks together and formed a bo-staff, using his new weapon to block multiple bullets aimed at him and Jaune, while Jaune had fired rounds in return. Jaune then rushed after Blake, seeing her showing some difficulty taking on Roman by herself.

He rushed in, and immediately started to open fire on Roman, who blocked each shot aimed at him while he also blocked Blake's attacks simultaneously. Jaune decided to rush towards Torchwick, grabbing the wrist that held his cane, and delivered a punch to the stomach, electricity going through Roman's body, then proceeded to throw multiple punches to his face.

But, Roman grabbed Jaune's fist with his free hand, and head-butted the blonde, and then fired a flare to his body, causing him to fly a few feet back. Blake suddenly lost focus, seeing Jaune taking a hit like that from that range. She helped him get back on his feet, and heard Jaune shout,

"LOOKOUT!"

Roman aimed his cane at a container that was being held by a crane, and shot the cable, letting the container fall on top of both Jaune and Blake. The two immediately moved from where it was gonna land, and watched as it fell to the ground. The three individuals were about to continue their fight, when they heard ANOTHER voice call out to them.

"Hey!"

They all turned to the source, and were shocked to see Ruby, standing on top of one warehouses' rooftops. Roman looked at her, and sneered,

"Hello, Red! Aren't you out passed your bedtime?"

Blake momentarily panicked when she saw her, while Jaune silently swore to himself as she had willingly revealed herself to Roman. Seriously, she has a SNIPER-RIFLE! Why didn't she use it to take out Roman then and there?

"Not to self: Teach Ruby the meaning of 'subtlety'."

Jaune was about to shout at Ruby for something, that was until he saw some ginger-haired girl that had green eyes, and a pink bow in her hair. Jaune was now momentarily panicking at the sight of her, considering that she could be some bystander. That was when Roman took the opportunity and shot his weapon, knocking Ruby back, causing Jaune, Blake, and the unknown girl to shout her name in concern.

"RUBY!"

Both Jaune and Blake were about to charge Roman again, only for the girl to walk closer towards the edge of the roof, and Ruby warning her to stop. However, swords had started to come out of the backpack the girl had on her, and she told Ruby,

"Don't worry, Ruby. I'm combat ready!"

That was when the girl jumped off of the roof, the swords that floated behind her launched themselves towards several White Fang members, it was as if the girl was controlling these blades. From the looks of it, the girl was indeed 'combat ready', and just began to eviscerate even more White Fang members.

Everyone, from Ruby to freakin' Junior, just looked in awe of how this girl was fighting on a whole other level.

Of course that was when Junior shouted,

"Oh crap! Gunships incoming!"

"Everyone take cover!"

As three gunships flew in, the girl had did something that seemed impossible, even for someone native to Remnant. She made two swords attach themselves to warehouse behind her, reeled her towards the building, and made the remaining swords she had form a ring, which spun faster and faster as a ball of green energy formed at the center of that ring.

That was when she released all of that energy, destroying two of the three gunships.

Roman and Jaune shouted respectively,

"The kids just keep getting weirder and weirder..."

"What the fuck is with this girl!?"

With the remaining Bullhead, the girl launched several swords at it, which Jaune noticed that were was a thin cable connecting each sword to the girl, who started to move back slowly, and had the damn strength to force the Bullhead to crash into several containers of Dust, which resulted in a massive explosion.

Everyone had looked at the scene in front of them, only to realize something:

Most of the White Fang that were on the docks were defeated, and others got away, including -

"Torchwick! He's gone!"

"So's Neo...merde."

Jaune simply swore as he saw that Neo somehow got out of the ice Jaune had her in. The blonde then heard multiple sirens coming their way, which nearly everone in the docks knew what they were.

"Shit! It's the cops!"

"Junior, you better get out of here! Go!"

"Alright then, let's get out of here boys!"

That was when Junior and his goons started to run before the cops had arrived. Well except for Melanie and Miltia, who winked flirtatiously towards Jaune as they ran at a slower pace.

"Well... I am pretty sure we broke every law possible out here."

Later -

As soon as the police arrived, they started to question Jaune, Blake, Ruby, and Sun about why they were at the docks. The girl that was with Ruby, who told Jaune that her name was Penny, and mysteriously disappeared. However, as Jaune made up some story as to why he was at the docks, he noticed Penny getting into the back of some car, who drove away, making Jaune suspicious about the girl.

That was when Pyrrha, Ren, Nora, Weiss, and Yang walked up to them, in which Ruby started to mumble at Weiss,

"Look Weiss, it's not what you think! She explained the whole thing, you see, she doesn't actually wear a bow, she has a pair of kitty ears, and they're actually kind of cute..."

However, Weiss ignored her leader, and walked towards Blake, who stood up, and said,

"Weiss, I just want you to know that I am no longer apart with the White Fang. Back when I was with - "

"Do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you? Twelve hours! And in that time, I thought about this whole thing, and decided..."

Blake and Jaune looked at Weiss, scared and curious about what she was gonna say respectively. But what she said threw them in a loop,

"I don't care."

"What do you mean you don't care."

"You're no longer associated with them, right?"

"Well...not since I was younger - "

"I don't wanna hear it! The next time something big like this happens - come to your teammates, not some...someone else..."

Jaune gave Sun a light punch on the shoulder, smiling at how Weiss was starting expand her views on things.

"...and especially not someone like him."

That was when the heiress glared at Jaune with so much hate and disgust, that Jaune remembered that she, Yang, and Ruby now know that he was an assassin. Jaune saw his team about to say something, but he said to Weiss,

"Let's be civil about this Weiss, I - "

"I don't want to hear anything coming out of your mouth, murderer."

"First of all: assassin, that's different. Second of all: I deserve that for the other night - "

"You lied to all of us! About your past! Did you really think that you could forget everything you've done in the past, and have a clean slate?"

Weiss was suddenly up in Jaune's personal space, Jaune simply standing there, not fighting back. He was just accepting the things that were being said about him, and he had to agree with some of it. Yang looked like she was about to say something, but that was when Jaune said,

"You're right. I can't forget all the fucked-up shit I did to people. But what I did, I did it because it was to give me some closure: for me AND my family. I didn't take any pleasure out of what I did. And I won't let my past define who I am, Weiss, you of all people should know that more than others!"

That last part Jaune told her made Weiss remember the reason she became a Huntress was so she could let people know that she was not like her father. She wanted people to know that she wasn't going to become like him, and when she inherits the SDC, she was gonna undo everything her father did, and bring honor back to the Schnee name. She honestly felt her cheeks burn a little from what Jaune said to her, but still,

"Jaune...you and I know that - "

"Excuse me, kid."

The teenagers turned around, and saw two police officers standing in front of them. Jaune saw no way of escape, and simply prayed that it was some other topic entirely.

"What is it, officer?"

"A few weeks ago, a boy named Lucas Marengo was found horribly beaten in his father's nightclub. He gave us a description of the attacker, and his description perfectly matches you. So, just be honest: did you try and kill Lucas Marengo?"

Well...shit. Jaune knew that at some point he was gonna get called out for that, but he didn't expect it to be right now. Pyrrha told the officers,

"There must be some mistake. Our leader - !"

Jaune raised one of his hands, and told her,

"Pyrrha, allow me, please."

"But Jaune - "

"Pyrrha."

She looked at her leader, desperately hoping that what the officers said wasn't true.

That was when Jaune made a snarky comment,

"I didn't try and kill him, I simply beat the living shit out of him to the point that he could've died. There's a difference."

That was when Jaune stood up, and allowed the police to slap handcuffs on him, letting the officers to take him to the precinct. He heard all of his friends shout something to him, but all he said nothing as he was thrown into the back of a police-car. Only as he was no longer able to see any of his friends, that was when he only muttered,

"Fuck me..."

Roman's P.O.V. -

Great.

Just great.

As soon as I escaped from those...freaky kids, I was now preparing myself to meet up with the boss. With what we got planned for Vale is gonna need a whole lot of Dust, and Cinder is going to be pissed when she finds out that I haven't made the quota for tonight.

"Roman."

Speak of the Devil...

"Cinder! I see you brought your...pets as well."

As I saw Cinder walking towards me, she was flanked by both her minions, Mercury and Emerald. So far, I couldn't stand Emerald the most between the two teens, considering that not only she has a higher position than myself, but Emerald is just a blindly following Cinder, no matter how crazy this plan of her's is.

Anyways, Cinder asks me,

"What happened at the docks?"

"To put it simply: a bunch of kids got in the way."

Mercury just simply laughed at how I was nearly beaten by those brats.

"Really, Torchwick? A bunch of kids nearly got you? And you call yourself a criminal mastermind."

"Watch it. Besides, two of those children were the same ones from that Cinder and I fought. Lil' Red isn't someone to worry about, it's Blue I'm more concerned about."

Cinder's eyes seemed to have slightly widened, remembering just who I was talking about.

"The boy? What about him?"

"He, and a 'stray cat', managed to derail the whole operation in a matter of seconds. Not only that, but it appears he has some connections with Junior and his crew, so we may not be expecting any help from him anytime soon. But, what I found the most interesting about him is the fact that the kid is a FUCKING ASSASSIN!"

The three in front of me looked at me a bit shocked, but Cinder regained her composure, and asked,

"How were you able to find this out?"

"He fought Neo on equal-footing, even giving her advice as to how to be an even better assassin than she already is. And, as it turns out, Neo actually has a crush on Blue - OW!"

I suddenly felt one of my feet being stomped on by my small partner-in-crime. She looked up to me, glaring at me for saying the truth about the kid and herself. I simply shrugged,

"Don't blame me kid, Neo. I'm just the - "

"Do you believe that this boy will be a threat to our plan?"

"...Possibly, if we keep him distracted."

"Good. By the way, Roman..."

That was when Cinder lifted one of her hands, a small flame coming out of her palm.

"If something like this were to happen again, I will be very upset."

AN: That was the tenth chapter of the story, please leave a review telling me what you guys thought about, and I am so sorry that this took me a long time to make.

Anyways, not much is there to say: Jaune managed to help Blake stop the White Fang and Roman from stealing Dust, Blake was forgiven, and Jaune got arrested for attempted murder.

Next chapter will mostly be about Jaune, and his time in the precinct...that is if he ever gets there.

Just know I am foreshadowing Jaune's predicament with Lucas.

Once again, leave a review while I work on Arc of Warfare (Reboot).

See ya later!
