350 000 words for just 100 Favs with probably a half that were misclicks like mine: this is truly the epitome of shitty fanfiction.

Yeah, yeah, you don't like the fic. At least you won't ever read it again and won't leave a review on the next chapter showing you're still following it. I'm not holding a gun at your head to make you continue reading it, after all. If I did have a gun at your head, it'd be to put you out of your misery.

Guest-

Dafuq... so bad.

Uh-huh. At least you found out you didn't like it on the first chapter. No need to come back.

Guest-

IT'S GOOOOO TIIIIIME!

Have fun! It's gonna be a ride! Uh, question though, after reading this, do you think I'm abusing Arie? Remember, the kid's ten. And it's not like Ben 10 where Ben has the Omnitrix to change into badass, super-powerful aliens. Argent is still human at the end of the day and feels all the crap he's going through. And trust me, he's going through a LOT as you'll soon read.

"No safe words" Oh Jaune is FUCKED XD

Oh, you have no idea. Remember who his wife is. He's married to the Spirit of Destruction. Can you imagine what S&M Night with the literal goddess of destruction would be like, AND WITHOUT A SAFE WORD?! As hot as she is, I would NOT want to be in Jaune's position.

The soldiers were blasting and stabbing the invading Thulhus, trying to protect the civilians as best they could. The Grimm were flooding in as fast as the water. Under normal circumstances, the Sea Faunus would see the rising water as an advantage, but not only was the water rising at a snail's pace but Thulhu's are even stronger underwater. Only Trident himself would be able to handle a pod of Thulhus underwater. But outside the kingdom was an entire army of the Grimm. Grimm that would become faster and stronger than the soldiers once the kingdom was submerged.

As more time passed, more Grimm came in. Too many for the soldiers to handle. They were already beginning to be overpowered, a soldier holding back a Thulhu with his rifle as it roared in his face, keeping it away from the terrified civilians. Then, a Thulhu landed in front of a woman and her daughter, the beast roaring in their faces. When the monster raised his arm, ready to kill the two, the mother tearfully hugged her daughter protectively, wanting to at least keep her safe.

The Thulhu swung its clawed arm.

Then, as the daughter shut her eyes and hugged her mother, a sword stabbed through the head of the monster. Mother and daughter looked in time to see the dying creature, followed by Argent dropkicking it, finishing it off as he yanked his sword out of its head.

"RUN!"

The mother and daughter didn't hesitate, the mother lifting her daughter and running as Argent took his stance, three more Thulhus landing in front of him and roaring.

One Grimm lunged at Argent, but he jumped over it, sliding across its back using his shield. As he landed behind the creature, he stabbed its back before ripping his sword out to block a lunging bite from another Thulhu. He then raises his shield to hold back the second one, holding back two angry Thulhus. He activated his hard light to keep one Thuhlu at bay but had to continuously avoid being slashed by the other one.

Argent activated his Semblance, Enhancing the strength in his leg before kicking the Thulhu on his sword away with enough force to make it slam into a charging Thulhu, killing both of them. With his freed sword, he stabbed the Thulhu on his shield, killing it. A group of four Thulhu came charging at him next, Argent running towards them.

He slid past the first one, slashing its legs off before jumping up and kneeing the second one. Using it as a springboard, he jumped off the Thulhu and over the other two, the monsters trying to slash him as he sheathed his sword. When he landed, he activated the greatsword function and performed an Iai slash with his greatsword, a move he's been wanting to try for a while. It was more effective than he had hoped, the force of the slash creating a wind blade that slashed through other Thulhus that were attacking soldiers, saving them in the process.

Then, a larger-than-average Greater Thulhu landed behind Argent, surprising the boy. It roared at him as it raised its massive arms, ready to crush him, only to be stopped when the soldiers began shooting at it. Argent then Enhanced his arm strength and cleaved the beast in half.

"Oh, he's skilled, Charybdis," one Eel sister said outside of the wall.

"Indeed he is Maelstrom. It seems almost unfair to fight him outside of the water."

"Shall we fix that?"

"We shall."

The sisters pointed their hands towards the wall, their one yellow eye glowing brightly, the two seeing through the wall, looking right at Argent. Their eyes then sparked with electricity before blasting towards Argent.

Argent was about to run down the hall to see if anyone else needed help. "WHOA," he went after the wall exploded, water flooding in. It was at such a speed that he barely had enough time to take a breath before being dragged by the current of the waters. He slammed against many corners and walls before the current stopped. He shook his head, a bit dazed, but still had his breath.

Argent looked around, trying to get his bearings. When he felt himself sink, he looked to see Croacea Mors still in its greatsword mode, deactivating it to be a sheath to make it a bit easier to carry, placing the sheath back on his arm just in case. He then began to swim, Sebas's lessons coming in handy.

Unfortunately, before he could reach a corner, a Thulhu appeared from it, seeing him and roaring. Argent drew his sword, ready to fight. However, he received a shock when he found out how fast the monster was.

It shot through the water like a torpedo, zipping past Argent. What's worse is that Argent had never tried to swing his sword underwater before, finding out that it was far more difficult than he had thought. With the speed of his swing, he knew he wouldn't be able to so much as chip the wall, let alone harm a Grimm. As such, he was being slashed by the Thulhu or slammed into the walls, floor, and ceiling by it.

He was at a huge disadvantage, worse yet since most hits were making him lose his breath. Then, he got an idea. He sheathed his sword and readied his shield, praying this plan would work.

When the Thulhu struck his shield, Argent activated the Gravity Dust, sending both him and the Thulhu blasting away from each other. Though Argent slammed against the wall, it was still better than being near the Grimm. After shaking his head, he looked to see the Thulhu at the other end of the hallway, barely hearing it roar as it swam towards him.

Argent looked down at his shield before looking down both corridors. He then thought he saw a staircase.

Positioning his shield, Argent activated the Gravity Dust by smacking the face of his shield, shooting himself down the hallway just in time for the Thulhu to slam into the wall.

Argent grabbed the staircase before he was sent past it and swam up. Fortunately for him, the upper floor wasn't flooded, allowing him to take a relieved gasp of air, a coughing fit followed as he dragged himself onto the floor, panting out of exhaustion.

"He's quite resilient," Maelstrom said.

"And resourceful," Charybdis said.

"He will be such fun to break," the sisters said in unison.

Ambrosius was looking over Jaune's schematics that he took out of his scroll. "Mm. Mm. MMM! I like. Yes, this is very well thought out. Quite brilliant. This armor would defend you against practically everything."

"Dante's the best of the best."

"It's a shame this would be utterly useless against my uncle."

"What?"

"Hm? Oh, don't tell me you're surprised. The human who created this is indeed brilliant, but he can't compare to the God of Darkness. This is the same god who helped create your world, remember? Your human science is impressive, but it is still far behind True Magic."

"Damn," Jaune hissed.

"But I suppose that's why you're asking me to make it."

Jaune's eyes widened as he looked up at Ambrosius. "You can make it so it can withstand Darkness?"

"Well, yes, but there's a catch."

Nimueh sighed. "Of course there is. There's ALWAYS a catch."

"Oh, don't be like that, sis. Remember, you used to kill your users."

"Hey, I drained them of their Aura... and then their life forces. But that was only because there was no one powerful enough to wield me besides that old man, Ozma. Then Jaune came along."

Jaune smiled at his wife before taking and kissing her hand, making the beauty blush before looking up at his brother-in-law. "So, what's the catch?"

Ambrosius looked serious. "This armor may be my magnum opus. The greatest creation I have ever brought into existence. After all, it will be designed to withstand the wrath of the Gods themselves. That's something only my siblings and I should be capable of. Meaning it would take even me quite a lot of power to create. Armor like this would have been impossible for me to make before. What's more is that we want this to be permanent, meaning it can't disappear if someone were to, I don't know, have me add more flame to a fire."

Jaune looked angry. "Do NOT bring that up. EVER."

Ambrosius sighed. "Yeah, yeah, touchy subject. Whatever happened to that boring girl, anyway?" Jaune and Nimueh looked at each other, grabbing each other's hands. "Ah. That makes sense."

"Just be glad you weren't there, Ambrosius. It wasn't a pretty fight," Nimueh said.

"With you involved, I'm sure it wasn't. Anyway, this armor will need a lot of energy to make. Without Jaune's little boost, it would have taken me eons to perfect this armor. With his gift of Aura, it should take..." Ambrosius began to count on his fingers. "Just a few weeks or so."

Jaune's eyes widened. "Weeks?!"

"And that's if you keep charging me. Or, if you want, I can make the basis of the armor and you can add the finishing touches by merely channeling Aura into it. It will take the same amount of time, but you won't have to carry me around all the time."

"Okay, I like that option, but seriously, little brother, WEEKS?!"

"I don't know why you're surprised, Nimueh. This armor will be LEGENDARY. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't even be ALLOWED to make it. You really think either of our fathers would let me create something designed to challenge them?"

"I mean, you make a good point, but still."

"Nim," Jaune went. Nimueh looked at her husband. "If we're being honest, we should be amazed this armor gets to be made at all. If... well, WHEN Darkness finally returns to Remnant, this armor will help me protect everyone from his wrath. With it, I won't be turned to dust at the flick of his wrist. True, if he shows up tomorrow, the armor will be useless, but if we have a chance to make something that can defend against him, don't you think it's worth the wait?"

Nimueh thought about it before she sighed. "But you won't be with us?"

"That hurts, sister. You really want to be away from your siblings that badly?"

"Will you be with us or not?"

Ambrosius shrugged. "If you want the variant where it gets stronger with every charge from Jaune, then no. It honestly doesn't matter to me. I actually like staying in Atlantica. It is my largest creation yet. Most detailed, as well, in terms of pure scale. What kind of artist wants to be away from his work?"

"Somehow, that makes me really happy to hear," Marina said.

Trident laughed. "It would be sinful to take the artisan away from his glorious creation."

"Right? So, if you want me to stay here, I wouldn't complain. Just know that your armor won't be nearly as powerful as it will be in its completed state, Jaune."

"How will I know when it's finished?"

"Oh, trust me. You'll know. So, are you ready to witness my artistry?!"

"Of course."

With a smile, Ambrosius waved his hands around, magic swirling around Jaune. Then, when he snapped his fingers, a light flashed around him. "It's done," Ambrosius said with a wink.

When the light was gone, Jaune was in black medival-style armor. The tips of his boots were pointed, looking like a kick from them would slice through most opponents. He had gauntlets that had clawed tips that looked as sharp as Jaune's Beowolf claws. On Jaune's chest plate was the Arc symbol, the only thing on the black armor that was a different color, given that it was gold.

(A/N: Fun fact about Jaune's new armor, a pair of twins I care about made this comment about it- type in power rangers mystic force koragg that's how I imagine Jaune's armor. I LOVED this comment! Of all the Power Rangers antagonists, Koragg was my favorite of the all. He was just so cool. Besides, look at the guy. Tell me Jaune wouldn't look PERFECT for that armor! Guy even has a sword and shield! Jaune is Koragg, baby! Whoo!)

"Wait a minute, is that my symbol on his right arm," Nimueh said as she held up said appendage. Jaune looked to see that there was a sword that looked exactly like Nimueh on his arm.

"Yup. My symbol is on his left." Jaune looked to see that there was the Staff of Creation on his right arm guard. "And check this out. Say 'Helm, appear'."

"Uh, helm, appear? WHOA," Jaune went as a helmet appeared over his face. "Huh. Guess I'm the Vale Knight, after all."

"WHAT THE-?! WHY IS GLYNDA'S SYMBOL ON HIS HELMET?!" Nimueh then analyzed the rest of Jaune's body. "Oh, you little- You put Jinn's symbol on his right hip."

"He what?" Jaune looked to see that there really was a small Lamp of Wisdom etched just above his right hip. ". . . Jinn's going to love this."

"I like your cape," Melody went.

"My what," he asked as he looked behind him, seeing Melody flap a long, black cape attached to Jaune's shoulders. "It's so long and flowing." She then wrapped herself in it. "And it's really warm."

Jaune stared at his niece before looking at Ambrosius. "What's with the cape?"

"Oh, it will be useful. Trust me."

"SCREW THE CAPE! I DON'T MIND MY SYMBOL BEING ON MY HUSBAND, AND I CAN TOLERATE YOU, BUT WHY OUR SISTERS?!"

"I'm just welcoming Jaune into the family," Ambrosius said with a shrug.

"Why you little-" Nimueh growled.

"So, do I have to wear this all the time," Jaune asked.

"Oh, of course not. With that Aura boost you gave me, I added my own special touch. Now try saying this: 'Ambrosius Garb, retreat.'"

"Ambrosius Garb, retreat. WHOA," Jaune went as the armor vanished, leaving his old clothes behind like it was never there. "Oh, that was cool."

"Uh, where did the armor go," Marina asked.

"I don't know," Jaune answered. "Hello," Jaune went after Nimueh lifted his shirt, looking around until stopping at his back.

"Oh, you gotta be kidding me."

"What," Jaune went.

"HE GAVE YOU A TATTOO!"

Argent was running down the halls, looking for anyone needing help. He actually did find a few people trapped behind rubble from the attack, using his Semblance to lift the heavy debris and free the civilians. He protected them from Thulhus until he found soldiers, the armed Faunus leading them to safety. Of course, they tried to take Argent as well, but he would usually run off as soon as he made sure the civilians were safe.

"He's so heroic," Maelstrom said.

"Heroic indeed. But that heroism will be the boy's downfall."

"Yes. He is running towards it, after all."

"He won't be strong enough to beat it."

"He has been fighting too long."

"He will lose," the sisters said in unison.

Argent ran until he saw a door. He opened it to see a hall. It didn't look like the dining hall. More like a meeting hall or an Academy classroom. "Hello," he called as he walked into the hall. "Is anyone there?!" He jumped to the center of the classroom. He then heard labored breathing and followed it. It led him to a door.

He opened it to see a torn-up man, barely alive. One look told Argent that he wasn't going to make it.

"R-Run."

"Huh?"

"It's... still... here," he went as he lifted a shaking finger.

Before Argent could ask what, he felt something wrap around his waist. He looked to see a tentacle before he was yanked and slammed against a wall, then the other wall before being slammed on the floor. He was then lifted, looking into glowing red eyes. It was the largest Great Thulhu he had seen yet. The monster roared as it squeezed, Argent, trying to crush him as it tried to eat him whole.

Argent struggled before he looked to see his shield still on his arm. It may have been opened, but that didn't make it any less useful. Enhancing his chin of all things, Argent slammed his chin onto the shield, activating the Gravity Dust. It then blasted open, freeing Argent from the grasp of the Great Thulhu, and the boy landing on the stairway. The Great Thulhu landed in front of him, the boy looking like a mere puppy before a bear. The beast roared before swiping at Argent, but he jumped back to avoid the beats, making it angrier.

Argent drew Crocea, holding his shield forward, taking the Nikos stance his father taught him, thinking it was the best stance to use against the monster. "Bring it!"

The Thulhu's tentacles rushed at Argent, but he was able to smack and slash the appendages away before lunging at the monster. It tried to slash him, but Argent used his shield to ride across its arm and slash its face, jumping over it. It roared in pain as he landed behind it, but the monster shocked him by kicking him into a wall, making him gag as he landed, his Aura sparking.

'So fast. And that power. A few more hits and my Aura's done for.'

Argent tried to open the handle of Crocea to add Electric Dust, but he instead had to jump out of the way of the lunging Grimm.

'Too fast! I can't use Dust in this fight with how fast that thing is going unless I go after the legs. No. Way too risky. One good kick from that will shatter my Aura, then I'm done for. What to do,' Argent thought frantically as he hid behind the Nikos stance.

The Great Thulhu stood tall, growling at Argent before it roared. The roar was a sonic cannon that Argent defended against with his shield. Though he didn't take the full brunt of the volume, it was still enough to stun him. 'CRAP!'

The Thulhu growled before it roared, kneeling down to prepare to pounce on Argent. It then barked out in pain after it was shot.

"GET AWAY FROM THE BOY, BEAST!"

It looked towards the voice, only to have one of its eyes slashed out by Sebas's pincer, the soldier landing behind the roaring beast. It was then shot again, looking to see Flounder blasting it. It was distracted enough to not notice Sebas grabbing and running away with Argent before it looked. When it saw this, it roared in anger before noticing something with its good eye.

Argent pointing down.

It looked to see a beeping device.

The device then exploded, spikes of ice shooting out, taking the shape of a sea urchin that impaled the Great Thulhu's entire body. The creature groaned a bit before it hissed in death, fading away.

Sebas ran to the top of the stairs before placing Argent down, Flounder running up to them. "Are you alright," Sebas asked in worry.

"A bit banged up, but I'll live. Still have some Aura left, too."

Sebas smiled. "That's good."

"Ow," Argent went after Sebas bonked him on the head. "What was that-?!"

"Yuh stupid child! Yuh had mi worry sick! Wah yuh did thinking?!"

"I had to do something! The people were in danger!"

"Yuh did inna DANGER! YUH JUST A TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY! Wah yuh tink wud HAPPEN eff FLOUNDa an mi HADN'T ARRIVED?!"

"Uh, I might have found a way to win, but probably broke my Aura in the process?"

Sebas groaned as he pinched his nose. "Argent yuh nuh need fi be involved wid dis. Mi undastan yuh wa fi be a hero like yuh fada but yuh still young. Yuh nuh fi be putting yuh life inna danga like dis. Just let di adults handle dis okay?"

Argent was about to argue until he saw the look in Seba's eyes. They were filled with worry. Argent realized he might have scared the crap out of the old man when he just suddenly vanished. He then sighed in defeat. "I understand."

Sebas smiled before he picked up the boy. "Okay, let's head back to the War Room. It's one of the safest areas near us."

"Uh, Commander?"

"What is it, Flounder?"

"Why is there water leaking through the door?"

Sebas looked to see there was water pouring in. "Oh, no." He then kicked the door open to see it was flooding. "DAMN! WE NEED TO REACH HIGHER LEVELS! ARGENT WON'T BE ABLE TO-"

"Oh, dear. They seemed to have interfered, Charybdis."

The three looked towards the voice to see the sexy eel sisters.

"So they have, Maelstrom. Shame. The boy would have been easier to take had he been exhausted by the Thulhu."

Sebas and Flounder looked shocked.

"YOU!? From what bottomless pit did you two sea slugs crawl out of," Flounder yelled.

"Sea slugs, he called us, Maelstrom."

"These Atlanticans still have no manners, Charybdis."

"Sebas, who are they," Argent asked.

"Criminals, my boy. They ran away with their tails between their legs after your father and the King executed their witch of a mother."

"Here for revenge, you Sea Worms," Flounder asked as he aimed his rifle.

"Now he calls us Sea Worms, Charybdis."

"So rude, Maelstrom."

"It's fortunate we're not here for him," the sisters said as they pointed their hands at the soldiers.

Then, they shot lightning at the soldiers, sending them flying, but causing Sebas to drop Argent.

The boy groaned as he sat up from his side, only to look up and see into the sisters' golden eyes.

"Sleeeep," the two said in a soft tone.

Argent gasped before his eyes rolled back, the boy falling forward, being caught by the sisters. They giggled at each other as they lifted the sleeping boy.

"A tattoo," Jaune asked.

"It looks so cool," Melody exclaimed as she rubbed Jaune's back.

"Pearl, my back doesn't need a massage," Jaune deadpanned.

Melody blushed before swimming back with her hands held up in embarrassment. "Sorry, Uncle Jaune."

Jaune sighed. "So, what does it look like?"

"It's our family crest," Nimueh huffed.

"That's it?"

"I wish. On the right of it is me."

"He tattooed your face on me? I mean, I'm not complaining, but won't people think I'm too in love wi-"

"NOT LIKE THAT, YOU IDIOT," Nimueh yelled. "Besides, you can't be too in love with your pretty wife."

"Good point."

"Anyway, I meant me in my sword form. On the left of your crest is the staff. Above the crest is the crown and below is the lamp. He had all four of us tattooed onto your back around our family crest."

"I gotta admit, that sounds pretty cool."

"Well, it certainly looks impressive," Trident admitted.

"It looks amazing. Can I have one like that," Melody asked.

"No," all the adults went in unison, except for Jim, since he can't talk underwater. Though, he tried by accident, letting out a lot of air. Marina sighed before she kissed her husband to give him some more air.

Jaune sighed before looking at himself. "So, all I have to do to is say Ambrosian Garb?"

"Ambrosian Garb, appear, actually," Ambrosius explained with a raised finger.

"Ambrosian Garb, appear." The tattoo then began to spread until it covered Jaune's body as his armor. "Okay, that is seriously cool. I could get used to this."

"I thought you'd like it. There will never be armor like that ever again unless someone in the future has a Semblance like yours. Doubt it, though. It almost seems like only the Arc Family has an Aura Pool as large as yours, let alone a Semblance like yours. The Ambrosian Garb might very well be my greatest masterpiece."

"Keep on bragging, little brother," Nimueh said with a roll of her eyes.

"Oh, don't worry, big sister. I will. Oh, but I need to give you a warning, Jaune."

"Huh?"

"When you face my uncle... Do. Not. Lose."

"Excuse me?"

"That armor will be literal perfection when it is complete. On you, it will seem invincible, but if my uncle gets a hold of you, he'll get a hold of that armor, and he'll be unstoppable. Nothing will be able to stop him, not even my father."

Jaune looked at his gauntlets, Amrbosius's words sinking in.

"That armor is basically the Ultimate Shield, just as my sister of the Ultimate Sword. In my opinion, that armor is in the same class as the Relics, only it doesn't have a Spirit, unlike me and my siblings. It can resist and even deflect everything, making the bearer unbeatable, but only when complete. If my uncle gets a hold of that, no one would be able to stand against him. I won't be able to make a weapon to counter it, Nimueh will never have the amount of power needed to break it without you, and even my own Father would not be able to destroy it. If Darkness gets his hands on that, he wins."

Nimueh's eyebrow twitched. "Well, no pressure or anything."

Ambrosius shrugged. "Well, the man is the King of the Grimm, now. He's the only one other than Salem herself who defied our parents to such a degree. So, yeah, life is going to be hard for this man, even with you as his wife, sis." Nimueh's eyebrow twitched, hating the fact that her brother was right. "Enjoy the new armor, brother-in-law. Bye, sis." Ambrosius then vanished back into the staff.

Jaune stared at the staff before looking himself over. "Kinda gothic, but damn is it not cool. Honestly, Crocea Mors would fit well with this armor, but nothing like having you at my side, Nim. . . Nim?" Jaune looked to see Nimueh neatly folding Jaune's cape. "Nim, what are you doing?"

"This." Nimueh then placed the cape over her face and screamed. She screamed louder before she screamed "I HATE MY FAMILY," her voice muffled by Jaune's cape. "Phew. That was therapeutic."

"So, I take it we're leaving Amrbosius here and not taking him-"

Nimueh looked at Jaune with blank eyes. "Finish that sentence and this armor will feel like wet paper in the next few seconds."

Jaune raised his hands in defense. "I love you."

"I know," she said as she dropped the cape, letting it flap in the water. "I love you, too," she said as she swam over and pushed the staff back into the hole, covering it.

"But this armor really is cool, Uncle Jaune," Melody said as she swam around her uncle. "You look kinda dark but that's actually cool. Isn't it heavy, though?"

"Actually, it feels kinda light."

"Well, my question is, how are you still floating," Marina asked.

"Hm? I'm swimming, of course."

"But shouldn't that be harder to do in metal bo- YOU'RE BOOTS!"

"What about my-" Jaune began as he looked down, seeing his boots were gone, replaced by Jaune's webbed feet. "Huh. Guess the armor adapts to its environment. That's convenient."

"It truly is magnificent armor," Trident said. "Though, since that was your only objective, does that mean the Arcs will be departing from Atlantica?"

"Aw," Melody went sadly.

Jaune rubbed the girl's head. "Well, it would be a waste to not at least spend a day here. I'm sure I can convince Arie to-"

boom

Jaune, Nimueh, and Trident looked up the tunnel.

"Hm? What's wrong," Marina asked.

Boom.

This time, she and Jim looked.

BOOM

"It can't be. Atlantica is under attack," Trident yelled before he swam.

"Who... what could possibly be attacking Atlantica," Marina asked. "No kingdom developed the technology needed to attack at these depths, and no Grimm could possibly attack so much as our outer walls without being reduced to dust by our shields."

BOOM-BOOM-BOOOOOOOM

Jaune and Nimueh immediately took off swimming, both worried about the same thing.

"Arie."

Jaune and Nimueh reached the end of the cavern but were shocked when they swam past the pool entrance, the area submerged.

"We're still underwater. Why are we still underwater," Nimueh asked in worry.

The two then heard Trident's battle roar. They swam in his direction to see him stab a Thulhu, killing it instantly. He then held out his arm, a Thulhu slammed into it before Trident grabbed it by the head and slammed it into the wall with enough force to crush its skull. "WHY ARE THERE GRIMM IN MY CASTLE?!"

"No," Jaune went. He then looked around and saw a Thulhu rushing towards them. Jaune ignited a blazing fire underneath his feet and one hand, speeding towards the Thulhu like a torpedo and grabbed it by the throat. Before it could even try to struggle, Jaune began to Conquer it. "What. Happened. To. My. Son," Jaune asked angrily, his eyes glowing brightly through his visor.

He was so angry at the thought of anything happening to his son that he had more than enough negativity in him to Conquer the Thulhu, making the Grimm his. Jaune then read the mind of the creature, seeing its memories. His eyes widened in shock. "Impossible. Soheks is alive."

Trident's eyes widened. "Impossible! I executed her myself! I impaled her!"

"Jaune." He looked at Nimueh. "This isn't the first time the dead has been resurrected."

Jaune growled. "Darkness."

"Forget about my old man and the sea witch for now. What happened to our son?!"

Jaune began to skim through until he found the needed information. Information that Nimueh saw as well since she was linked to Jaune. Information that infuriated the parents.

Maelstrom and Charybdis were swimming past the Grimm, holding the unconscious Argent between them.

"Mother will be pleased," Charybdis said.

"She will. Unless of course, the boy drowns."

"Not to worry. We can still make his dead body ingest the serum."

"Indeed we can. He can be resurrected."

"Then mother will be pleased."

"Because he will be pleased."

The sisters then laughed.

Their laughing stopped when two enraged roars were heard. They looked behind them towards the origin of the roars, Atlantica.

"He knows," Maelstrom said.

"She knows," Charybdis went.

They then looked at each other. "THEY know."

"We must hurry, sister," Charybdis said.

"Yes. Mother will keep us safe."

"NOTHING WILL KEEP YOU SAFE!" They looked to see Jaune rushing towards them, Nimueh in her sword form as Jaune slashed the Thulhus in his path. He was so furious that even the Grimm were afraid of him, many of them swimming out of his way in pure terror, some of them even being Conquered by him without Jaune even looking at them. The Conquered ones even became enraged themselves and attacked their fellow Thulhus.

"Sister, we should use our magic to slow him down," Maelstrom said.

"I know a certain combination that could work."

"I think I know what you mean."

The twins then pointed their hands towards Jaune, a whirlpool forming in front of him. Jaune swam around it at first but felt himself being sucked in. He looked back to see that it was already doubled in size, growing stronger by the second before he was sucked in. As he was being spun around in the whirlpool, the twins froze it. They smirked when they saw the giant ice swirl, Jaune frozen in the center of it.

"Shall we take the boy now," Maelstrom asked?

"We shall."

Their smile soon vanished when they heard a crack. Then, an explosion forced them to cover their eyes, chunks of ice slamming into them, and unfortunately for them, a few chunks hitting Argent. Soon, the ice pelting ceased.

"Trident." The sisters' eyes widened in terror. They then lowered their arms to see black armor. They then looked up to see Jaune towering over them, the Huntsman looking down at them with one red eye glowing brightly through the visor. "Didn't these two have a bounty?"

"They do indeed," Trident's voice boomed as he was swimming towards them from the palace, his soldiers and the Conquered Thulhu dealing with the stragglers. "Fortunately for you, old friend, their bounty is worth more DEAD. And I promise you, after what they did to my palace, my citizens, and young Argent... THEIR BOUNTY IS INCREASED!"

"Good to know," Jaune said as he instinctively used a function of his new armor. The symbol of the Sword of Destruction on his arm, which was just Nimueh in her sword form, began to glow before it popped out of Jaune's arm, becoming a perfect replica of Nimueh. Though it was just a regular sword that was as black as Jaune's armor, it was still a powerful and unbreakable weapon. But more important than that: it was sharp.

Jaune then raised both arms, Nimueh shining with power while Jaune's Ambrosian Sword was surrounded by electric magic. Out of pure fear and desperation, the sisters held up Argent, using the unconscious boy as a shield. That only served to infuriate the parents, even more, Nimueh glowing even brighter while the Sword was surrounded by even more electricity.

Then, Jaune swung his arms down, his momentum in a way that allowed him to grab Argent into a hug as he slashed the boy's kidnappers.

Though both sisters didn't take a single hit prior to Jaune, meaning their Aura was at full capacity, it didn't matter. Nimueh made Auras practically null and void anyway, but the monstrous level of strength Jaune used would have shattered the Auras if he had just used a twig. The moment both of Jaune's swords touched either sister, their Auras were overwhelmed by his inhuman power, shattering instantly.

Then, there was the force of the slashes and the electric magic. Jaune swung with such force that he created water blades that rushed past the sisters at such speeds, they were creating whirlpools in their wake. Anything caught in their paths, from innocent fish to unsuspecting Grimm, was torn to shreds. The electric magic only made them suffer even more.

The sisters didn't even have time to scream as the electricity coursed through at such volumes, their skeletons were visible.

The vicious combination of the strength of both swords, Nimueh's destructive magic, Jaune's impossible strength, and the electricity magic caused the sisters to actually explode.

Holding Argent in his arms, his Ambrosian Sword returning back onto his gauntlet, and Nimueh transforming back into a human, husband and wife watching coldly as the remains of the sisters began to float down. They didn't even bat an eye as fish swam in and began to eat the remains, one lucky fish even eating an entire yellow eyeball.

Meanwhile, back at her lair, Soheks was watching the whole ordeal in horror. "M-My daughters. . . My babies. . . My... My. . ." She gripped the vial she was planning on shoving down Argent's throat.

"MY LITTLE POPSIES!"

The sea witch looked at Jaune with eyes filled to the brim with hatred and rage, causing the Grimm outside her lair to roar. But she didn't care... at first. Then she remembered what she had waiting in the trench below her lair, then looked at the vial.

She then gave a smile filled with madness and rage.

"For my babies."
