Hey everyone, so las time our knight had gone on his first mission with some weird but nice new friends. The mission? To burn a book. Sounds simple right? But this is going to be a crazy mission, can Jaune survive the insanity that is Natsu? Let's read and find out
Also, I have decided that yes... I am going to do a Polyamorous relationship between Lucy, Jaune, and Aries. but Aries will not join till later, possibly sometime after Oracion Seis, but we got a while before we get to that arc :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D
To Guest: Lucy never said dolt in the anime, I just put that in there as a joke. Jaune is not looking for similarities between his friends back in Remnant and those in the guild, he is seeing some similarities between some of them but is not actually searching for it, and I know Levy and Blake love reading, but I made a note that Levy was more open and cheerful than Blake, he is not going to be grasping at straws.
To iron-slayer-dragon: I agree with you, I feel like Aries does not get that much recognition as Loke, Taurus, Aquarius, or Virgo.
To LS14: Thank you, the Poly thing is what I am going to do. The pathways things, what do you mean? Just wondering. Plus with her involved, it will make Aries more open and less shy.
To deathcornfive: Come to think of it..you have a point. Why Aura is not considered magic, I mean it makes sense in a way, along with the maidens. But this is how Monty Oum wrote the story, so who are we to judge? But still, I like your opinion
RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P.)
Fairy Tail belongs to writer Hiro Mashima and Weekley Shonen Magazine and the anime is produced by A-1 Pictures, Dentsu Inc, Satelight, Bridge, and CloverWorks and is licensed by Funimation
Duke Everlues Mansion
the team was now behind a tree looking out at the mansion. Jaune thought that the mansion looked pretty nice.
"I still say we should just burn the whole place down." Natsu grumbled. Jaune looked over at him with a deadpanned look.
"And get arrested for arson, destruction, and possible murder? No thanks." He said as he rolled his eyes. Seriously, what was it with this guy and destruction?
"Hey, I haven't killed anyone before man," Natsu protested. "I always make sure that people are away whenever something breaks a bit."
And by that," Happy says cheerfully. "He means that little bit means he destroys alot of big things!" He said munching on a fish. Natsu glared at the cart and told him to shut up.
"I agree with Jaune, we can't just destroy this place." Lucy scolded them. "Luckily he made a plan."
"And it's very simple." Jaune said to them. "Lucy gets hired, she finds the book, grabs it, leaves before anyone notices we destroy it, collect our reward, and go back to the guild. Plain and simple." Jaune said.
"And how exactly are we going to know if Lucy did it right?" Natsu asked with his arms crossed annoyingly.
"Simple, I am going to go with her, I just need to get the armor off first, and tug my hoodie up to hide my mark." Jaune said as he was starting to get his armor off. Natsu eas grumbling under his breath aobut not just bargain in, but Lucy scolded him again.
"As Jaune said, we aren't going to jail for it...besides you're the one who suggested the outfit..." She said that last part with a hint of anger.
"We were just kidding about the outfit though!" Natsu said.
"Oh...I know you were." Lucy said while a dark aura was around her, causing Natsu and Happy to shake in fear. Jaune watched and rolled his eyes and chuckeld a bit. After getting the hoodie off he turned towards the others.
"Alright guys, are we-" But he was interrupted by some snickering and it was coming from Natsu and Happy. "Uh...whats so funny guys?" He asked with a confused look.
"It's just..." Natsu said as he was trying hard not to laugh. "Your hoodie has a rabbit on it.." He said while putting his hands on his mouth.
Jaune sighed in irritation. "Just like Ruby..." Jaune thought with annoyance. "So what? I like the hoodie." He said defensively.
"But you look so weird in it though." Happy said with a snicker.
"And you aren't? What with your blue fur and wings." Jaune said back. Lucy, however, saw it and blushed, she thought it was kind of cute.
"Well, let's get this mission over with." Lucy said as she dragged Jauen away before an argument could be brought up. Natsu stopped snickering for a moment to tell them not to screw up. As the two blonds started walking to the mansion, Lucy turned towards Jaune. "You know, I think it's cute." She said with a smile.
"Really?" Jaune asked surprised, with Lucy nodding her head. "Well...thanks Lucy, and I think you do look cute in the maid outfit." He said while sporting a small blush.
"Thank you, I know I look cute in any outfit." Lucy smiled at him, but she couldn't help but also sport a faint blush at his words. when they finally got to the mansion Lucy called out to someone to see if they can get some assistance through the gate. Jaune saw that there was no doorbell, so they both had to yell out.
"MY FRIEND HERE IS LOOKING FOR A POSITION HERE!" Jaune called out. After a few minutes, they stopped. "This Duke guy must not be here right now, maybe we should hang out around here and wait till he comes back."
"Yea, I gue-" but as she was aobut to agree, the whole ground started to shake a bit, prompting the two blonds to look confused. After a second a large big woman in a maids outfit and pink hair came from under the ground and landed right in front of them.
"What the...!?" The two thought with shock. The large maid looekd down at them and stared.
"So I see you're a maid?" Shen asked Lucy, who responded yes in fright and fear. "I assume that you're here because of the Master's ad right?" She asked, prompting Lucy to nod quickly. the large woman turned to Jaune. "and who might you be?"
"Oh..um...I'm Jaune, I am just here to give my friend some moral support." He said to the woman. Jaune would be lying if he said he was not nervous, but looking at this big gorilla woman, he couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated.
"BoyOYOYO!" A voice said as another figure emerged from the ground, he was a short man who wore a black suit, which had a rose where his heart and had a large yellow button in the middle of his chest, the also distinguishing thing aobut him was his mustache. "Did someone say, master?" He asked as he was twirling hsi facial hair.
"More like monster..." Lucy thought while shocked.
"That mustache...is that coming out of his nose?" Jaune thought with disgust. He shook the feeling off to introduce himself. "I'm Jaune, and this is my friend Lucy, she saw the ad in the paper you sent out and she is wondering if she can get hired. I came along for moral support." He told the Duke, who nodded and looked over at Lucy.
"Ok then...let's see here." He said as he inspected Lucy, who was getting pretty worried and creeped out.
"Well, I hope you like what you see." Lucy said, trying to stay calm. But the way the Duke was looking at her was not helping much thought. "This guy is seriously creepy! Just stay strong, stay cool and stay collected!" She thought. After a few minutes, the Duke turned away.
"I think I'll pass, so scram ugly." He said waving his arm.
Lucy and Jaune both face faulted at hearing this man's words. Ugly? Lucy was FAR from being ugly. Jaune was a bit angry and Lucy felt like she was hit by a pin. At that point, Virgo picked both of them up.
"you heard the man, get going ugly." She said, causing Lucy to feel like she was hit once again with a pin.
"Sorry, but a man of my standing has certain standards to uphold." He said as he gave them both a smirk.
"Like what? Lucy is beautiful, like a princess, and an angel even." Of course, Jaune was trying to get the Duke to change his mind, but Jaune couldn't help but blush a bit from complimenting Lucy like that, and he wpuldn;t be lying if he didn't think those. Lucy felt a bit better as she was also starting to blush a bit.
"You see my boy," the Duke said as then all of a sudden more figured emerged from the ground revealing other maids...who looked FAR from being called pretty. "That's why I only pick the lovely of the fair." He said twirling his mustache.
"LOVELY?!" Jaune yelled comically. "THEY LOOK FAR FROM LOVELY TO ME!" He said. Lucy was still not feeling too hay from the Duke's words. The other maids were swooning over the Duke.
"I never met such a kind-hearted man." One maid said.
"You're so sweet, master." Another said.
"Why don't you run along with home ugly," another maid said. "And take you're not so handsome friend with you."
The two blonds were shocked and all of a sudden, the large woman dropped them on the ground. Jaune was furious, he wanted to do nothing more but to argue, but he knew it was not worth it. He picked up Lucy, who was still upset and the two started walking.
A few moments later...
Lucy was sitting by the tree with her knees up to her chest, Jaune was rubbing his head in anger as he was putting hsi armor back on, and Natsu and Happy were staring with annoyance.
"So you guys couldn't do it could you?" He asked with annoyance.
This prompted Lucy to stop crying for a moment and look up at the Dragon Slayer. "I TRIED, BUT THAT DUMBASS DOESN'T KNOW BEAUTY IF IT BIT HIM IN THE BUTT!" She yelled out as she went back to crying. Jaune stood up for her though.
"She is serious guys, you should have seen those maids of his. They were FAR from beautiful, heck I felt like I went blind." He said as he got his stuff back on.
"Well then," Natsu said as he punched his fists together. "Guess it's time to go to plan T!" He said.
"Yea, that jerk is going to pay for this!" Lucy said with determination while clenching her fist, with Happy agreeing with them all. Jaune was all for it but was confused.
"I do have one question though...what's plan T?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Very simple," Happy said cheerfully. "Taking them by storm!"
Meanwhile, Duke Everlue was watching them all by a lacrima and he was sporting an evil grin, he was also accompanied by two figures.
"So..it seems like more wizards have arrived, and these are from Fairy Tail. Perfect." He said wickedly.
Back outside, the group was now on the roof and Natsu was melting the glass on the window to get in, something he was not happy about.
"This is not what I had in mind you know." He said irritatingly. Why did they have to sneak in? Why couldn't they just burst through the door and trash the place?
Jaune, however, rolled his eyes at his claims. "As we said, we are not going to jail just because you want to burst in. Look, we can do this easily, we just need to look in every room till we find a library, and that is where we will possibly find the book at."
"I agree with Jaune," Lucy said. "Now let's go in."
Everyone had gone in and split up to search, and after a few minutes, they had nothing. But Jaune did find something that was a big sight. A golden toilet with the Duke's face on it, something that made him cringe a bit. Like seriously how arrogant was this guy?
Now the three were walking in the upper hallway. "You know something?" Natsu said. "I think we should take a hostage and force them to tell us where they are hiding the book."
Both Lucy and Jaune sighed a bit though.
"The whole point of this is not to be seen, you dummy." Lucy said. "You need to be stealthy, like a ninja." She said as he made the Jutsu sign. Jaune looked in awe and Natsu and Happy both became enthralled by her words.
"Ninja..." Natsu said in a dreamy voice.
"Seriously, what's going on in that head of yours?" Lucy sweatdropped. At that moment, the ground started to shake and all the maids popped up from the ground.
"INTRUDERS!" They said as they had weapons with them. Lucy and Happy screamed but Natsu and Jauen were both ready. The maids all attacked at once but Jaune was able to block their spears with his shield.
"Natsu, you're up!" Jaune said as he pushed them back.
"GOT IT!" He said as his fist ignited on fire. "NOW FIRE DRAGON IRON NINJA POWER!" He then gave a punch to the maids, who all went down. But they forgot aobut another maid though.
"You think you can break into the masters home?" A deep voice said, at that point, the larger maid sprouted from the ground and was now in the air. but Natu jumped up and his foot ignited.
"TAKE THIS!" He said, as he kicked the maid and she also went down with a boom and crash. After that Natsu had his scarf wrapped around his face as he and Happy did the ninja sighed.
"We must not let ourselves be seen, for we are Ninja." He said he was a real ninja.
"Nin-Nin." Happy said. Lucy sweatdropped and Jauen smiled and chuckled a bit.
"That's funny guys, but you forgot that ninjas have to be quiet though." Jaune said with a small smile. Lucy saw him and raised an eyebrow.
"Why is he encouraging them?" She thought.
After that, they had all entered a room they have not seen yet. It was a really large room, and it was filled with books. Everybody's jaws dropped form seeing this many books.
"Wow!" Lucy said with wide-eyes.
"So many..." Jaune said with equal shock. If Blake was here, she would possibly want to read all of these books by herself. He then turned towards the others. "Alright guys, the book we are searching for is called Daybreak, so let's spread out and search for it." He said.
"Aye, sir!" Happy and Natsu said together as they went to one side. Lucy sighed a bit and looked on the other side with Jaune helping her.
"So Lucy, what do you plan on doing with your share of the money?" Jaune asked, trying to make small talk.
"Well, I do know that I will be buying myself some good looking clothes." She said with a smile. "Plus my share might be able to cover months of rent."
"Nice, if there is anything left for me, then I'll accept it, I just need to take a bigger job next time so I can get my place. I don't want to sleep in that gues room forever." He said chuckling as he looked at a book.
Lucy looked at him and thought about something. "Well...if you want..." She said while blushing a bit. "You can stay with me, for a while." She said nervously.
Jaune looked at her with wide-eyes. "Really? I mean I don't want to be a nuisance or anything like that." He said with a red face. It wasn't that he had an issue with it, he did share a dorm room with two other girls after all, but he didn't want to intrude on the home of someone he just met.
But Lucy insisted though. "It's fine Jaune, I do not mind." She said but then gave him a stern look. "As long as you don't do anything perverted." She said.
"N-No! Nothing like that!" Jaune said with worry in his voice. Lucy then smiled and nodded her head as she continued to look at the shelf. "Note to self, never make the girls in this world pissed off..." He thought. As he was about to search again. He heard something.
"Hey, guys!" Natsu said, prompting the two blonds to turn towards him. "I found a nice looking one." He said with a grin and Happy smiling. Jaune took a closer look at the title and smiled.
"It's Daybreak!" He said with a smile.
"Have we been there that long?" Happy asked cluelessly. Prompting Jaune to give the cat an 'are you kidding me?" look.
"No Happy...the book is called Daybreak, and Natsu found it." He said as he and Lucy walked towards the two knuckleheads to see the book, the book was colored yellow and had the title on the top. "Nice work Natsu." Jaune said with a smile.
"Two Million Jewel here we come!" Lucy said with glee. Natsu then ignited his fist.
"Let's light it up!" He said eagerly, but then Jaune stopped him.
"Actually, why don't we bring it back to Mr. Melon and destroy it right in front of him?" He suggested this caused the others to look at him confusingly. "I'm just saying, he might want some evidence that we did destroy the book." He suggested. Jaune was thinking about this idea while he was searching for the book. He was wondering that Mr. Kaby might want evidence that the book was destroyed, and since they had no idea how to get the evidence, Jaune thought about possibly waiting till they get back to Kaby's mansion till they burn the book
"Hmmm, good point!" Natsu said with his usual toothy grin. "Let's take this back to the Melon guy and burn it there!" He said.
"Man, that was so easy." Happy said with a grin. Jaune smiled and agreed, this was his first mission and it went off with a bang like that...guess he can get used to it, but then as they were aobut to leave, Lucy immediately took it from Natu's hand to inspect it a bit.
"Wait a minute!" She said as she looked at the book. "Oh my gosh, this is written by Kemu Zaleon!" She said with a large smile.
"Zale-who?" Natsu and Jaune asked in unison raising eyebrows. Lucy began to explain that this Zaleon person was not only a great wizard but also an amazing novelist. She said that she is a huge fan and that she has read all of his works except for dAybreak, so it must be an unpublished novel.
"Well, sorry about that Lucy, but the job explains that the book must be destroyed." Jaune said as he tried to take it, but Lucy then went wide-eyed and slapped his hand away.
"No way! This is a great work of literature, you better stay away from it Knight Boy!" She said holding the book close to her chest.
"Knight Boy?" Jaune thought while mentally face-faulting. "Well...at least it's better than Vomit Boy." He sighed, but he was still insistent on them having to complete the mission, but Happy took over for him.
"But what about the job though?" He asked her.
"Forget the stupid job!" She said angrily. Jaune sighed and looked over at her.
"Sorry, Lucy but this is our first job so we must do it." H said as they all walked towards her, causing her to step back and try to plead to them.
"Failure is not an option here." Happy said as they were getting closer
"C'mon you guys. Let's say we burned it! I won't tell a single soul I swear!" She pleaded, but the others were not listening.
"Sorry Lucy but this is our first job as guildmates," Jaune said. "And I don't want you or me to get a bad rep already." Jaune didn't want to do this, but he knew that they had to get the job done.
"Besides," Natsu said. "I'm not a lier." He said, with Happy agreeing with him.
"Hmmm, what do we have here?" A mysterious voice asked, a voice that Jaune and Lucy were familiar with, at the moment something emerged fro the ground and jumped in front of them all. Who was it? Duke Everlue. "So you no good thieves are here for the Daybreak book are you?" He asked as he landed in front of them.
Natsu sighed a bit and looked over at Lucy. "See? this is your fault Lucy!" He said.
"Sorry about that..." She said with a fae of embarrassment.
"Wouldn't have been easier to come in through the front door?" Happy asked, prompting Jaune to look at the cat with a deadpanned look.
The Duke, however, continued to glare at them. "I knew you wizard lowlifes want to take something of mine..but I never would have thought that it would have been that stupid Daybreak book though." He said.
Jaune looekd at the man with a raised eyebrow. Stupid book? But if it was stupid, then why did he have it? Decoration maybe? Lucy was thinking the same thing but unlike the others. This worked out perfectly for the Celestial Spirit Mage though.
"Oh?" she asked as she smiled brightly. "This works out then, if you think it's stupid, you mind if I keep it then?" She asked brightly.
"Lucy..." Jaune and Natsu deadpanned, but Everue was not having it.
"IT'S MINE YOU FAIRY TRASH! SO GET YOUR DAMN GRUBBY HANDS OFF!" He shouted childishly and flailing his arms around.
"Greedy mustache man." Lucy pouted.
"Shut it ugly." He said nonchalantly as he picked his nose, Lucy once again felt like she was hit by a pin. Natsu growled and ignited his hand.
"Ok. do you mind handing that book over already?" He asked Lucy impatiently. But she was still refusing. Finally, Natsu was agitated. "Lucy! This is our job, and we need to finish it!" He said. Jaune nodded his head, while he did feel bad for Lucy, but destroying that book was their job and it needed to be completed.
Lucy sighed a bit. "Fine, but at least let me read it first." she said as she got on her knees and opened up the book to start reading.
"YOU MEAN RIGHT NOW?!" Everyone shouted. Everlue, however, glared even more. "I have grown tired of this foolishness, now come forth Vanish Brothers!" He called. At that point, one of the bookshelves separated to reveal another passage, and out came to males. they both came up to the group as Natsu and Jaune both had hard glares at them.
"You called boss?" One of them asked.
the other brother sneered at the mages. "Can you believe that these has-beens are from the Fairy Tail guild? Talk about pathetic." He said. Happy saw their mark and went wide-eyed.
"Happy, are you alright?" Jaune asked as he was getting his sword and shield about.
"Yea, but I recognize their mark," Happy said pointing hsi paw to the brothers. "They are from the Southern Wolfs; a mercenary guild!" He said. Jaune narrowed his eyes at the brothers. So this world had other guilds then, and range from different occupations...interesting. He took notice of Lucy still reading the book and sighed a bit. Seriously what was teh big deal aobut that book?
Everlue chuckled. "The Southern Wodfs are always hungry for some action, say your prayers theives." He sneered.
Natsu and Jaune glared at them as Lucy got up. "Hey, stay here and deal with these guys, I don't know but I feel like this book holds a secret or something." She said to them. Jaune looked at her and thought he should go with her. He was not yet skilled enough in magic to take care of a situation like this, so it was possibly best if he went with her.
"I'll go with you, Lucy. Just in case." Jaune said to her before turning to Natsu. "You think you can handle these guys?"
"You got it Jaune." Natsu said as he nodded his head. Jaune nodded back as he took Lucy's hand and started to run out of the other room. Everlue heard what Lucy said and pondered aobut it.
"A secret huh?" He thought. "A treasure map maybe? I got to go after them!" The ground beneath him started to sink. "I'm going after the girl and the boy, you deal with this one!" He told the Vanish Brothers as he sunk further in the ground.
Natsu turned to Happy. "Happy, go help Lucy and Jaune." He told him when the cat asked if he was sure he didn't need helo Natsu started to flex his arm. "thanks buddy, but I'll be just fine." He said determinedly.
"Got it, sir!" Happy said as he flew out of the room in search of the two blonds.
Sewers
Jaune and Lucy had retreated into the swears where Lucy can read the book in privacy, Jaune had questioned how she can read the entire book right away but Lucy showed him her Wind Reader Glasses, a pair of magic glasses that can make the reader read at super speed.
"Darn, I bet Blake would love those" Jaune thought with a chuckle, he was watching Lucy read and he was surprised at how invested she was getting into this story.
"Oh my gosh!" Lucy said with a surprised tone, prompting Jaune to get surprised.
"Are you alright Lucy?" He asked concerningly.
"Yea..but I knew this book held a secret to something!" She said, but at that moment Everlue burst from the wall behind her and grabebd her by the wrists.
"A secret huh?" He sneered. "Why don't you just share it with me huh? After all, secrets don't make the best of friends now do they?"
(Eyecatch of Jaune drinking at the guild)
(Eyecatch of Jaune watching Natsu, Happy, and Lucy with a smile on his face)
Jaune saw the Duke and got angry, he got out his sword and ran right at the man.
"Get your damn hands off of her!" Jaune said as he ran to try to slash at the Duke, but the man simply saw and burrowed back in the wall, and Jaune missed. But he made sure he didn't hurt Lucy in any way. Lucy fell a bit and rubbed her wrists a bit, before looking up to Jaune with a smile.
"Thanks, Jaune." She said to the knight, who smiled back a bit.
"Anytime, but the jerk got away." He said as he looekd aorund for teh short man
"Oh, I didn't go away yet boy." Everlue's voice said as it emerged from the ground and tried to punch Jaune in the face, but when Everlue's fist made contact with Jaune's gut, he immediately winced in pain a bit. As he was looking over his hand, he didn't notice something coming towards him.
"HAPPY KICK!" Yes, Happy flew right up to the Duke and kicked him in the face, prompting the man to fall back a bit and the two blonds smiling at the cat.
"Nice work Happy!" Jaune said with a smile. Lucy smiled back t the cat.
"Yea, that as really cool." She said, but Happy's wings went away and he fell into the sewer water. Much to their shock.
Everlue turned his attention towards Happy and glared. "What's this? A flying feline?"
"I'm Happy!" He said gurgling in the water.
"Uh, Happy?" Jaune began. "I wouldn't stay there if I was you." But Happy was not exactly listening though.
"But the water feels nice though." He said as he was floating away, prompting Lucy to facepalm.
"That's sewer water Happy..." she sighed. But then she turned back to the duke and got out one of her keys, and Jaune got out his sword and shield. "Anyway, looks like the tables have turned, huh mustache man?" She taunted. "But if you let me keep the book, I might go easy on you."
Jaune pointed his sword at the short man while looking t Lucy. "We have to destroy it..." He thought mentally, as he then looekd back at the short man. "So just give up before I cut that mustache off of that face of yours
"Oh, a Celestial Spirit and a Magic Knight huh?" The Duke asked with curiosity. "You know blondie, for a reader, you have a knack for being deficient for your praise. 'The tables have turned' implies that the weaker person has rallied for a victory." He then gave them both a wicked grin. " But there no way that you both and that cat can defeat me and my magic."
"Oh?" Jaune asked sith a smirk. "Then why don't we just fight to see the outcome then?" He asked
CLIFFHANGER lol, so Jaune had gone on his first job, and he and Lucy are now face-to-face with a duke aobut a book, Lucy read the book and noticed something interesting aobut it. What is this interesting thing be? Can Jaune, Lucy, and Happy beat Everlue? Tune in next time as we wrap up the Daybreak Arc :)
Don't' forget to read and review, I am always happy to hear from you guys and always happy to answer any questions you might have
See you al next time and HAPPY NEW YEAR :)
