Betrayal: A Frostburnt Knight Epilogue
A time skip in the Frost Burnt Knight fic.
happy thanksgiving Everybody!
Slowly a bullhead proceeded into Atlas airspace, the pilot wasn't worried after all with who he was carrying if somebody actually tried to say something the guy would probably get lynched and the dishonorably discharged from service. Landing he turned to his ship's occupants finding two beauties fretting over one blonde who looked a bit wheezy but otherwise fine. The two were breathtaking the one on the left was a face everyone in Atlas recognized, Weiss Schnee president to the SDC just under the CEO himself. To say the woman of such high standings was stunning was a understatement to his right.
Her skin was pale and flawless with icy blue eyes like a frozen lake, her hair was as white and fair as snow most of which was braided into a off-center ponytail to her right side a icicle-shaped tiara. The only blemish on her was the crooked scar running down the left of her face over and past her eye. However, this didn't detract from her beauty but only served to exemplify it.
over her she wore a blue and white V-neck top over it she wore a vivid blue shrug with a raised collar, puffy sleeves, and her family's emblem on the left sleeve running down her slender gloved arms. A long white tulle skirt splits in the front held together by three white belts. The floor thumped as she stomped her pale blue wedge-heel boots while telling off the two blondes on something the man couldn't hear.
Honestly, he'd asked what two babes like them would be doing fighting over a guy if he didn't recognize the man. Despite how disoriented he looked he doubted most other men would even come close to the figure the blonde man cut. He stood tall and proud his well-built frame barely big enough for the tactical jacket over him. Open at the front was a thin reinforced plate of armor was pressed against his chest but below it the toned muscles strained against the black compress. His boots were heavy, and metal ended up beneath the white greaves of a similar material as the white chest plate.
A pair of black gloves with gold-colored metal armor plates over the top of his palm and along the fingers as well. Strapped to his back was a colossal blade well over five feet in length and over two feet wide. However, any who knew him understood it was the sheath of his blade a weapon in and of itself. His face though was something else, shoulder length locks of messy golden hair spilled down as he rubbed his chin a thick sheen of wheat gold stubble beneath. His eyes were the brightest azure only paling to his smile.
Just like the President of the SDC his face was just as recognizable, the only man to win the Mistralian Champion Pyrrha Nikos even if only by virtue of his semblance. Jaunes Arc Schnee, the current patriarch to his family and widely considered the strongest huntsman in Remnant equal to the strongest huntress Ruby Rose. Deciding he liked his life he promptly directed them out of the ship the biggest smile he could manage on his face.
"Well Mrs. And Mr. Schnee if you would." Beside them a third person spoke a cocky smile on her face as she brought her hands to her hips her organic one and robotic limb. She wore an open duster with showing off her two bountiful 'assets' straining against her own black compress. The sleeves were short only running halfway down her biceps while it ran down splitting into two square ended tails.
Her fitted black pants only served to show off her curves, knee high brown boots with gold caps on the heel and toe stomped on the floor as she smirked. The years had done her well as her voluptuous form had only become womanlier even beneath her duster her curves were obvious and eye catching, her mane of hair even longer now like a golden waterfall.
"Oh, no fanfare for me champ?" The pilot quickly shook his head.
"Of course not miss Xiao-Long I-" With a roll of his eyes Jaune spoke up.
"Stop messing with the poor man Blonde Stuff, or should I tell Yin you're the reason we were late." Hearing him the brawler quickly made her way to the two.
"Seriously Vomit Man? Can't let me have any fun?" Jaune sighed smiling down at her.
"Not if it means were late, I did give my word we'd be there as soon as we could." Beside him Weiss nodded.
"Yes, it was rather annoying for all three of us to go, I do hope their okay." Jaune gently patted Weiss's shoulder.
"Oh come on Snow Angel, there's no reason to worry with lil bro there watching them." Weiss gave him a sideways glance before sighing.
"I suppose your right, it's just things are still fairly 'difficult' between the two of us." Jaune shrugged he didn't really understand not getting along with your siblings, but he'd humor her. Stepping off the bullhead the three looked to their home a large white mansion, even to this day Yang and him were still trying to get use to the idea of living here.
The heiress of their little trio walked towards the building not a care in the world and seeing that all the two blondes could do was follow. It really had taken some getting use to, he still remembered the first time he'd come here when Weiss had attempted to make amends with her little brother nearly six years ago. Brothers above once the secret was out about their relationship her butler Klein was stuck between congratulating him, threatening him and baking him sweets.
Entering the house over a dozen butlers and maids greeted them, yeah he was never getting use to this. Quickly spotting their head butler he called out to the man always having seen him more like the father Weiss never had.
"Klein, do you know where the boys are at?" The man nodded happily.
"Of course sir, they're in the study with master Whitley, this way." Jaune nodded following him up the stairs and through the many long halls of the colossal home. He'd gotten lost quite a few times during his first year here with once him and Ruby having to camp out in the large hall. He chuckled at the thought before Klein stopped before the door that was formally Jacques or as he called him the bastards office. Opening it the three stepped in to find a young man with an appearance like his snow angel except rather well suited in a deep blue suit. He held a textbook in his hand as he spoke out loud some of the more complicated dust theories that honestly flew over his head.
However, sitting there two little figures furiously scribbled down every word he spoke as if utter obsessed. One was a slightly taller 4 year old with bright golden locks and the classical azure eyes of his family however his complexion was slightly tanned taking after his grandfather Taiyang. His son Yin Xiao-Long while in the other seat was a boy who appeared quite the opposite. The boy sat with a majest usually reserved for those several years older than himself.
His eyes were focused icy orbs so reminiscent of his mother's while his hair was as white as winter snow the exception being the slight shift to blonde at the ends. While not as tall as his brother he was no slouch either his skin pale like Weiss's, he was his and Snow Angel's pride and joy Nicholas Schnee II. Jaune and Weiss crossed their arms more than content with merely sitting back to watch their little men hitting the books enjoying their study sessions with their uncle Whitley. Yang however…
"Hey is that any way to greet your Ma's?" Both boys jolted before turning to see the three of them standing there and broke into huge smiles Yin practically bursting out of his seat to tackle Yang while Nicholas quickly schooled his excitement and walk up to his mother trying to settle with a handshake like a proper heir should before being wrapped in a hug by his mom and happily returning it. Jaune felt a bit left out knowing his sons were mommas boys at heart, but eventually he looked up to whitley all smiles.
"Yo bro what's up?" Said adult looked away from him for a second a faint pink dusting his cheeks before he coughed into his hands and looked back up to him.
"A pleasure Jaune, I hope your miss-"
"No way, none of that formal junk for you big bro Whitley." Quickly wrapping the small man in a embrace Jaune smiled probably the best part about marrying Snow Angel, well… besides the whole marrying Snow Angel part was finally getting the little brother he always wanted. Sure, he'd been all Weissy at first but much like Ruby for Weiss he'd melted that icy layer of the boy.
"L-Let go of me you Brute!" Jaune chuckled at the Schnee's flushed face, he was so easily embarrassed, seeing it he got why his sisters like to tease him so much if it was half as fun as this. Letting him go Whitley sighed somehow looking a bit... disappointed for some reason before he once more schooled his features and looked to him.
"A pleasure… Brother." Jaune cringed at the tone as Whitley spat out the term, he supposed he was still a bit uncomfortable around him it'd been that way since they'd met. Jaune smiled deciding to avoid the topic.
"So… How are my boys' studies going?" Whitley smiled at the question looking a bit smug about it.
"Above average of course. Then again could they be anything less with me at the helm of their educations?" Jaune smiled.
"With their uncle Whitley teaching them, no way." Whitley smiled, he'd taken to his nephews with haste once they'd been born going as far as to declare Nicholas his successor, he'd asked why'd he'd been so hasty to which Whitley replied him having a son with a woman was never going to occur. Ever since then he'd taken to personally grooming Nicholas himself and bringing Yin along for the ride. Though he wasn't technically the boy's uncle at least biologically you'd never guess by how he treated him.
Much like his wives Whitley wanted for his nephews the life he'd been neglected as a child, homeschooling them himself. Honestly, he was lucky to have the guy as a brother. Hard to believe this same boy had once been the little smug and bratty brother of his Snow Angel not that she was much better when they'd met. He looked then to his wives and children and smiled at the sight of them, yes he was a lucky man. If not for his beautiful wives who'd he'd argue were out of his league to this day and his precious children.
Yang rubbed her little man's head, Yin looked up to her eyes positively burning with excitement.
"So did you guys kick all the bad butts?" She chuckled making a show of flexing her robotic limb.
"You know it."
"Oh man! You gotta tell me all about it! Please!" Yin had always taken more after her despite his appearance, eager to rumble, loving puns more than life and all but babying his little but older brother Nicholas. An evil smile came to her face then.
"Oh but don't you have to finish your lessons with uncle Whitley?" In response Yin groaned.
"But studying's so boring! Can't we just spar instead, I wanna be able to punch things better!" Again she laughed but Yin with a pout focused on his fist reinforcing it with golden aura before looking back at her the biggest smile on his face.
"Besides I mastered that aura reinforcement thingy you showed me." All she could do was stare.
"B-but how? I only showed you that like two months ago!" Yin however smiled cockily.
"I just keep trying till I got it right." She wanted to yell, that was just cheating, channel aura like that took a crap ton of aura out of you. Oh she knew how he did it, after all Yin and Nicholas had the ultimate cheat… Aura Amplification, or in Yins case the amplified aura, during pregnancy Jaune hadn't been shy about fussing over the two of them.
after Ren told him about certain auric techniques he'd used when Nora had a bun in the oven, he never stopped boosting them. Funny thing though, as it happens it had some effects on their kid as well. Nicholas had hit gold his father's semblance going as far as to integrate with the Schnee's hereditary semblance while her Yin's aura levels more than tripled even his own father's massive ones a supposed trait of him being aura boosted since conception.
Frankly she couldn't be more thankful, after all Yin had made it quite clear he wanted to follow in his parents footsteps and be a huntsman and the thought of him going without literal OP levels of aura terrified her. Thank Oum her husband was a living cheat code, She smiled then.
"Okay we'll get started with some training once you finish up here, after all your uncle there took a lot of time off his important CEO jazz to teach you too." Yin pouted but nodded all the same.
"And when you're done we'll go to Pizza Overlords kay?" the boys smile was back as he shook his head.
"Kay!" Quick to turn back to his seat and finish Yang looked over at Jaune chatting up their brother-in-law. She smiled to the man who'd given her such a great life, sure things weren't always a walk in the park especially when she told her dad about her and Jaune. Gods did he come close to killing Vomit Man there and that didn't even come close to when they'd encountered Raven on their travels. Honestly speaking, seeing her man all but shit on her mom for leaving her for a bunch of pissant bandits that even he could take was a thing to witness.
She smiled watching her sexy lug of a man stand there and made her way up to him wrapping her arms around him and planting as wet one on him before he could think. Whitley of became a blushing mess at the sight, she felt a bit bad kissing her brother-in-law's crush, but fuck it Jaune was hers not the femboy Schnee's. And gods above did this dragon love her knight and have every intention of having him slay her tonight.
Joy, that was the only word to describe how Weiss felt embracing her little Nicholas, utter joy at his being, after all he was everything a mother could want in a child. Smart, kind and polite to a near fault. And utterly adorable! She blushed recalling the last time she'd played dress up with her adorable son, gods forbid she'd ever admit it but just like his father her precious son could pull of a dress and her and Yang had no qualms about making him their lil doll when the urge for a daughter hit much to his mortification and Yin's laughter.
"Mother… could you be so inclined as to release me." Her brows knitted at her snowflakes clear embarrassment, honestly why could her family be more honest with their feeling like her blondes. Was it hereditary like their semblance, with a rose brow she spoke her tone reflecting his discontent.
"Mother?" The pale child's face burned as he spoke, almost a whimper really.
"Momma…" She smiled releasing him who looked utterly embarrassed and twice as adorable, knowing the fun was over she inquired, arms crossed.
"So how far have you reached in your studies." Quickly schooling his features, the boy assumed a dignified stance like her brother before speaking.
"Quite well, my dust studies have been going rather well and of course I've begun basic arithmetic. And uncle Whitley assures me I'm reading at a sixth grader's level." Weiss blinked shocked but not entirely surprised, Nicholas had shown that he was rather intelligent very early on crawling, to standing and even walking a few weeks before the expected times. He'd taken to riding with gusto and always plead for educational shows over the boorish mind-numbing shows Yin obsessed with.
Her brother recognizing her son's genius held no hesitations about naming him the successor despite their less than stellar relationship. Speaking of said brother she looked over to the men of her life talking animatedly to one another, she smiled at the scene as her brother spoke to Jaune… Jaune, the boy she'd shunned for flirting with her on her first day in Beacon and proceeded to show him nothing but grief, the boy who was the butt of most jokes… until the Breach.
After that event and his betrayal by his now ex and partner Pyrrha she had took a chance and she can honestly say she'd never once regret it. Her husband had been everything one could want in a significant other, loving, respectful and utterly mad for her. He'd become a huntsman alright and so much more. She remembered heading home after Vale nearly fell if not for her partner killing that dragon Grimm with her apparent eye lights of Grimm doom as the cookie addicted leader dubbed it and of course Pyrrha defeating the mastermind at the top of the CCT. Yang of course had lost an arm but with her team by her side and Jaune they headed to Atlas and she'd quickly got over it.
At first she'd merely intended to get her blonde lover a new limb, the best technology money could buy. Then father had been made aware of her presence in Atlas. What followed was her being berated for her relationship with Yang and Jaune, being called a disgrace to their family's name and being dismissed as the possible successor to the SDC. It was once he'd slapped her that things changed, that the doors were slammed open and a furious Jaune without hesitation decked her father breaking the old man's nose.
She remembered him lifting her father by his collar proceeding to berate everything about him, his failing as a husband, father and basic human being. Finally, he promised that if he ever saw him so much as glare at his girlfriend, he'd beat him so bad people would think he'd messed with Yang's hair. Oh, they tried to arrest Jaune but neither her nor team RWBY would let that happen. And as it turned out having the Fall Maiden as your partner came in quite handy. Pyrrha had made it quite clear to the general if he'd so much as give Jaunes a slap on the wrist she'd never listen to Ozpin's inner circle.
Oh he'd been a idiot, she'd made sure to make that absolutely clear to him before they conceived Nicholas that night in her room. What followed was simply shocking, Jaunes seemingly overnight had befriended her little brother calling him the brother he'd always wanted and Whitley strangely to her shock didn't reject the blonde's offer of friendship in the slightest.
It would appear unlike her Whitley was more socially inclined and was quite adept at recognizing her boyfriend's earnest want to be close. Of course, Whitley was guarded at first but the boy could only last so long, after all when your only role model was their father somebody like Jaune was like an ice cold drink in Vacuo. Whiley had quickly grown close to his brother-in-law, perhaps even a bit too close if his making it a point to watch Jaune train shirtless was any indication. Whitley finally had the sibling he'd always deserved Jaunes taking the place for him that Winter had for herself. And when the time came to, he and Jaune had bonded over strategizing how to utterly decimate their father's name, standing in the SDC and got out all of his illegal practices. Of course they had fought over who'd be CEO but Jaune had quickly nipped it in the bud and after several long hours of debate she gracefully beseeched the position to her younger brother and anyone who said otherwise was a dirty liar.
She looked to her dolt then seeing him being embraced by Xiao-Long, well that wouldn't do. In Atlas she was her husband whereas Mistral Xiao-Long had claim to that honor thankfully the kingdoms were rather loose with their marriage practices. Giving her son another pat on the head before directing her snowflake back to his studies or more likely helping Yin with his she made her way to Jaune. Though it was a bit crude she pulled him down by his thick stubble eliciting a pained whine from her blonde but before he could really make a show of it she kissed him and as expected his arms quickly wrapped around her slender frame reciprocating the gesture.
Yes… this was what she'd always wanted even if she'd never truly known it, a family, not her cold congregation of relatives nor the war with her brother over her families name but this. A warm happy family even if a tad unorthodox. And she could honestly say she'd not want it any other way.
So I've been thinking do you want a extra girl to Join Cause I can do anohter chapter about Ruby?
