Arriving at the coordinates that Ghira gave, Jaune and Scáthach saw dozens of White Fang members ready to fight. However, among these people, there was only one that was different from the others, and that was the tiger Faunus.
When Jaune approached the group of White Fang, they looked in his direction before they felt as if they were looking at a predator. All the White Fang members recoiled, including the tiger Faunus. However, said tiger Faunus was able to calm her nerves quickly.
"Who are you, Human?!" Sienna Khan shouted. "How did you get here?".
"Name's Jaune Arc," Jaune said. "I'm here because I offered my help to Ghira. I'm here to eliminate the Grimm horde. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some killing to do".
"Holt!" A White Fang member was able to calm himself. "Do not move, or I'll kill you, Human!".
"You can try, but know that if you do, I'm not the one dying," Jaune said. He can tell that the White Fang has no intention of killing him but merely intimidating him. "I'm being civil now, but if you provoke me with the intent to kill, then I will provide the same treatment. Do not test me".
"Are you really here to help with the Grimm horde?" Sienna asked. Jaune nodded. "That can't be right…The horde was only spotted this morning. Not enough time for Ghira to call for help".
"I didn't come to Menagerie to help with the Grimm horde. I'm here because of Blake's birthday, you know, Ghira's daughter," Jaune said. "Helping out with the horde is a recent development since I didn't want Ghira to leave his reunion with his daughter for a mission. So, I offered my help".
"Hmm…It is a plausible story," Sienna said. "I do know it's Blake Belladonna's birthday soon. Alright, I don't see anything wrong with your help".
"Good! Now, don't tell your people to get in the field," Jaune said. "Trust me, I don't want them to get hurt".
"Do you think you two alone can beat the Grimm horde?" Sienna asked. Jaune nodded. "Your confidence intrigues me, but this is the land of our people. I'm not willing to leave its safety in the hands of outsiders".
"Suit yourself," Jaune said. He then took out the Iron Destroyer and headed to the Grimm horde with Scáthach. "But don't say I didn't warn you".
Once Jaune reached where the Grimm horde was coming from, he dashed towards the horde and started his slaughter. Scáthach and the Iron Destroyer did the same. The White Fang, who was with Jaune before, heard massive explosions. Hearing these explosions, they made their way to its location.
Sienna can see the battle between the Grimm horde and Jaune's group. She finally realised why Jaune told her to stay out of the fight. They would only be in the way. Sienna stared at the iron giant. She saw how it could form micro missiles on its back, form swords in its hands and even four extendable arms on its back that can squeeze the Grimm to death.
"H-High Leader," A White Fang member called. "D-Do we h-help?".
"Help? What can we possibly do to help them?" Sienna said. "Tell me, do you have the ability to match their speed and strength? If we enter the fight, we would only be a hindrance".
"I-I…" White Fang member said. "I apologies for my stupid question".
"What kind of friend did that traitor make?" Sienna questioned. "Is this person even human? When I first saw him, I felt fear. Something I haven't felt in a long time".
Jaune, Scáthach and the Iron Destroyer were killing Grimm left and right. One of the White Fang started recording the fight against the Grimm horde. Although Jaune and Scáthach were Human, the White Fang who recorded the fight admired them. They both looked like a God of War.
"Whoa! This is amazing!" the White Fang said. "They're so cool!".
"Why are you admiring those humans?!" another White Fang member said. "They are the enemy of the Faunus race!".
"Hey! I can admire whoever I want," the White Fang said. "Besides, it's not like all Humans are the same. Didn't you realise that he didn't care about the way we looked? I've seen many humans outside the kingdoms that aren't against Faunus".
"Enough with your bickering!" Sienna said. "Let's head back to base. We have nothing to do here".
All the White Fang with Sienna left the scene. A few minutes later, the horde of Grimm was gone. Not a trace of them could be found. However, there was also a massive hole in the desert. Jaune was curious as to the power of the unibeam of Iron Destroyer. To say he was satisfied would be an accurate statement.
"That thing is a monster indeed," Scáthach said. "A great weapon for the future".
"Anyway," Jaune said. "Since we've obliterated the Grimm, let's head back".
Jaune stored the Iron Destroyer back in his Inventory and returned to the Belladonna Household. Once there, Ghira, Kali and the others were looking at Jaune since someone uploaded a video of Jaune decimating the horde of Grimm.
"I see now why Blake had fate in your capabilities," Ghira said. "You're unique to any human I've ever met".
"Jaune! Can I see the giant robot?!" Ruby said. "Can I? Can I?".
"I can show you later," Jaune said. He looked around and saw that Kali had made food for everyone. "Let's eat since I don't want to waste the effort of the chef".
Ruby agreed since if it was her mother's cooking, she wouldn't want to waste her effort in making food. And the others felt the same, except for Weiss. She's never had her mother cook her homemade food.
Later in the evening, Ruby was in the backyard of the Belladonna Household studying the Iron Destroyer. She wanted to know how it was made. So, Ruby asked Jaune, to which he replied with magic.
"Oh! Come on! Can you just tell me a bit about how you made it?" Ruby said. "I promise that I won't give the information to anyone".
"Ruby, when I said it was made with magic, I mean it," Jaune said. "But, I can teach you how to make nanomachines".
"You mean the same technology that my Crescent Rose is now based on?" Ruby said. Jaune nodded. "Thank you! This is going to be awesome! Can you imagine me making my own nanotech weaponry?".
"You know, Ruby," Jaune said. "During the end of our first year, I was planning to open a new weapon shop in Vale. If you want, you can join me to help around".
"That'll be cool!" Ruby said. "I'll be able to see how you make your weapons!".
"Well then, it's decided," Jaune said. "When we complete our first year, you can come to my shop every day and help around, and I'll even pay you".
"That's great! I've been trying to look for a part-time job before," Ruby said. "I wanted to earn money to make some of the projects that I've been working on since I was at Signal".
"I can even help you with it," Jaune said.
"Nah! It's fine!" Ruby said. "This is a project that I want to complete on my own".
A few days later, it was finally Blake's birthday. The party wasn't much of a party. However, everyone was having a good time sharing stories. Well, embarrassing stories when it came to Blake.
When it was time for gifts, everyone had one for Blake. Yang gave Blake a new book she believes Blake would like. Weiss gifted Blake a beautiful white coat, Ruby gave an experimental Dust combination that she was working on, Pyrrha gave Blake a beautiful necklace and Nora and Ren gave a tuna recipe that they thought Blake would like.
As for Jaune, he took out a few items and made Blake choose her gift. The gift that Jaune asked Blake to pick from were (Eight Spider Lances – Legendary), (Immolation Flame Arms – Legendary), (Wings of the Three-Legged Crow – Legendary), (Ice Phoenix Wings – Legendary) and (God Art Orbs – Legendary) x5. Of course, Blake knew nothing of the rarity of the items.
"Jaune? What are these items?" Blake asked. "They look like fancy bones and an orb".
"Ahem…Let me explain what the things are," Jaune said. "The things you said looked like fancy bones are External Spirit Bones.
And depending on what External Spirit Bones you have, it'll have different abilities. Most of the Spirit Bones here are wing type External Spirit Bones. They allow you to fly.
As for the God Art Orb, they give you something akin to a second semblance. The ones I took out are Darkness God Art, Light God Art, Lightning God Art, Fire God Art, and Wind God Art. The name tells you what element the God Art would be".
"A second semblance?" Blake said. "That's amazing…and also something that can cause chaos if people find out. But then again, it's you. I don't think they are going to do anything when they find out the hard way that you aren't easily taken down".
"So?" Jaune asked. "Which one are you going to pick?".
"I don't want to pick a God Art Orb since it might cause me to be a target for those researching Aura and Semblances," Blake said. "I think…I'll pick the (Wings of the Three-Legged Crow)".
"That's a good choice!" Jaune said. "I myself have (Fire Dragon Wings)".
Jaune then took out his (Fire Dragon Wings), and Blake, Ghira and Kali recoiled at the sight of the wings. Blake finally knew the source of her fear. A dragon External Spirit Bone.
"It's the thing that's making me warry of you!" Blake said as she pointed at the wings on Jaune's back. "That thing is making my instinct cry for mercy".
"Sorry about that," Jaune said as he stored the wings back into his body. "Huh? No wonder you said that you started feeling intimidated the day I brought you to Orario".
"What do you mean?" Blake said. "Did you get that thing the night before we headed to Orario?".
"That's right," Jaune said with a nod. "So sorry for the scare. Now, let's integrate the (Wings of the Three-Legged Crow) onto you".
Jaune helped Blake integrate with the External Spirit Bones. When done, Jaune instructed Blake how to call upon the wings and store them away.
Initially, the (Wings of the Three-Legged Crow) was golden in colour. However, it took on a blackish-purple colour scheme integrated into Blake.
"That looks beautiful," Weiss said. "It's quite a shame that I already received a gift from Jaune for my birthday".
"Jaune, can I have one of those!" Ruby said. "Can I?!".
"Don't be greedy, Ruby," Jaune said. "Didn't I give you an amazing gift on your birthday?".
"I-I…Yeah, you did," Ruby said. "Sorry…".
"It's fine, Ruby," Jaune said. "It's not like you only have one birthday".
Jaune and everyone then went outside for Blake to test out her new wings. Blake struggled initially, but she started getting the hang of flying. Though, it would take some time until she is proficient in it.
"Jaune? If you had wings for a while now," Pyrrha asked. "Why have you never used it?".
"Because I've never needed it," Jaune said. "I've never fought a person that can fly to do some air battle with me. As for Grimm, Nevermore and other flying Grimm can be killed with a single shot of my Dominator. So, I never needed it".
Pyrrha acknowledged Jaune's words. There was never a time Jaune couldn't kill a flying Grimm. As for people, they've never encountered a person with a semblance that let them fly.
