Crazy trouble with love part 9
RWBY's moms and Jaune
Series: RWBY
xxxxxxxxxxxx
-Remnant, Solitas, Atlas, Schnee Manor-
The mansion glowed with the ethereal light of the candles hanging from the walls as the camera zoomed closer to the main library, home to Atlas' ancient books of centuries past. And inside the matriarch was having some private time with her bottle of wine.
The matriarch, a tall fair-skinned woman with slate-blue eyes, long white hair that in a low ponytail going over her left shoulder and sporting a bun in the back, a E cup chest and wide ass, wearing a white cravat secured by a ruby encrusted silver brooch, a light purple jacket with light sleeves, a wide silver belt around her waist, a light purple pencil skirt, black tights and white slippers, sighed as she looked at the nearby portrait and sighed with content.
For the portrait was lacking a certain man, one that was outed from the company a few years back due to corruption and inhuman activities and well, she was now head of the SDC and loving the freedom of it.
"A shame you couldn't be here Jacques. Oh who am I kidding, I couldn't want you more gone than I ever could now." she chuckled while drinking her glass of wine. "Especially when my children are doing a lot better without your grubby hands ruining my father's company."
As she smirked at the notion of that 'worm' never bugging her again, she noticed a red portal appearing right in front of her and checked her Scroll's clock.
'Huh, right on time.' she thought as three figures walked out.
The first was a tall pale skinned woman with crimson red eyes, long bushy jet black hair that went down her back in a ponytail and held by a red bandanna, a curled cowlick on the top of her head, a F cup chest and wide ass, wearing a shallow cut black and red dress, black shorts, a series of beaded necklaces and a belt that wrapped around her waist, a long black feathered object attached to her sword's sheath, a red and white bandana hanging from her ass, red armored outward protruding gauntlets on her forearms, black fingerless gloves, solid black mid-thigh high leggings, black heels with a single red sole, and had a white full-face mask with four red eye slots hanging from her left shoulder by red strings.
The second was a tall semi tanned woman with short black hair, yellow eyes, large black cat ears with white fur in the inside and points, a G cup chest and wide ass, wearing a black gold-leaf trimmed shrug with a long right sleeve and a short left sleeve, long black arm warmers that extend to her middle fingers, a purple band tired around the top of the left warmer and golden bangles around the wrist, three golden piercings on her ears with twin the three left ear and one on the right, a black hakama, a black and gold sash around her waist that trailed behind her with a gold flower-shaped buckle at the end, white tabi socks and black sandals.
And the third was a short fair skinned woman with silver eyes, short shoulder length reddish black hair that was tied in the back in a semi half up and half down style, a E cup chest and small ass, wearing a white hooded cloak that was red underneath, a black high-neck décolletage blouse with studded wristbands on the arms, a black and white overbust corset, a black skirt with white tulle underneath, gray leggings, knee-high boots with red soles and had a silver and gold scythe hanging from her back by a white metal strap over her right shoulder.
"Ah, Raven, Kali, Summer." She said with a nod. "Great to see you three once more, especially you Raven dear."
"I was dragged along by these two." remarked the first woman rolling her eyes with Summer and Kali smiling.
"Right, and you weren't enjoying our company as well?" Kali smiled while Raven huffed a little.
"So Willow." Summer smiled at the white haired woman. "Is the room ready?"
Willow nodded while standing up and pulled a book down halfway, revealing a false doorway right where the fireplace should be as the lights flickered on, revealing a meeting room with a round circular white table and a blue hard light screen in the far center of the room as the word 'SWKR' flashed on said screen in white, navy blue, black and red colors. "Yes, after a little refurbishing and some decorative choices from Kali, I hereby say that the first meeting hall of Team SWKR is operational."
"It's a normal meeting, that's all." remarked Raven bluntly.
"Yes." Summer chuckled. "But it is better than any Branwen Tribe meetings."
"Hey, we aren't that bad!"
"Well…" Kali said with uncertainty. "You kinda never get anything done, at all."
"Like the White Fang are any better."
"True, but we don't brawl every ten seconds." she sweatdropped as they entered the room, the door closing behind them, as they sat in the respective chairs, with herself sitting right next to Willow.
"It makes character." Raven huffed while sitting next to Summer, who chuckled at her expense.
"Right." Willow said as the screen flashed on due to her having a silver projector pen in her hands, one she commissioned from Professor Polendina a while back, and assumed a more professional look as a picture of a blond boy appeared on the screen. "First order of business, and yes Raven it's an old one, is well, the detailed reports of one Jaune Arc. The ones we all have been collecting for the last few months now. Who wants to submit their findings first? Any volunteers?"
"Me first!" spoke up Summer quickly.
"Any one?" Willow teased as Summer kept on raising her hand. "Well if there's no one I'll have to pick Ra-"
"Me! I want to tell!"
"Really? No one? There's no reason to keep quiet."
"Pick me already!"
"Then I must allow Raven to go first."
Summer slammed the table as her eyes glowed silver. "Me! I want to go!"
"Just let her go." sighed Raven.
Willow nodded. "Alright Summer, you go first."
"Yes!" She grinned happily while her eyes stopped glowing.
"So what can you tell us about the young man?"
Summer smiled. "Well, he's sweet and a little like Taiyang, but not so punny."
Raven groaned as Kali snickered a little.
"And since we first met in Patch, which was funny since he was there visiting his grandfather. But any rate, we met while I was getting some groceries. He helped me out a little, told me he was going to be a Hunter and asked if I should teach him. It was cute, but I said no, I mean I am a mother of two children, one of which is Raven's daughter." Summer chuckled as Raven shrugged as she still visits them on days off from being the tribe leader. "So we exchanged some numbers, and became pen pals, and from that came my most recent report. He's in Beacon, team leader, just like me!"
"Congratulations." Kali smiled. "From what Blake's told me, he's part of a team called JNPR."
"Yep, and he has a partner named Pyrrha Nikos." Summer added while Raven scoffed.
"She's only his partner due to her title."
"Oh? Jealous?" Summer teased.
"No." She huffed. "But since you're done with your report. I'll tell mine. I met the brat one time during a mission for Willow, a simple scouting mission near Argus, and I found the guy getting ready for his trip to the bastard's school. At the time I was without my mask and he commented on my hair, which as all of you know is a treasure."
"Here here." the three said at once in agreement.
"After that he accompanied me to a few bars, which he didn't order any drinks thank the gods, and we exchanged numbers as well. But unlike Summer here, I went to his room in bird form and kept a very close eye on him."
"So you were stalking him." teased the woman.
Raven huffed while Kali chuckled.
"Well, for my report, I met the boy while visiting Blake at Beacon. She had a stern talking to after Jaune helped me find her room. Surprisingly he's fine with faunus, especially when Blake had to pull off her bow in front of him." she smiled. "That made me think back to Ghira and well, we exchanged numbers while also giving him some tips on being 'cool'."
"So flirty and flaunting his body?" Willow asked with a teasing smirk.
Kali nodded with a thumbs up. "Yep, never let me down before."
"And you turned out just fine from it." remarked Raven sarcastically. "I'm still amazed you haven't worn something Yang's been wearing."
"Oh trust me, my style is way more comfy then your daughter's clothes." Kali teased while Raven deadpanned at her.
"Yeah yeah."
"Anyway." Willow coughed, getting their attention. "As for my report, I have the fortune to meet Jaune Arc during a visit to Vale, one of Kali's 'Valian White Fang Sect Cleanups'. And to my luck, he actually walked up to me and mistook me for Weiss for a moment before apologizing."
Summer chuckled at that. "Did the same thing to me."
"Same." Kali smiled.
"Nearly kicked his ass for that." Raven huffed with a blush.
"Well, he and I enjoyed a calm day in Vale, had some coffee, exchanged numbers and he even asked me about Weiss' tastes in music." Willow rolled her eyes a little. "Which is always classical music, a Schnee never moved from that genre of music, for any reason. But back on track, I have kept tabs on him through Weiss' letters and I must say, he is persistent, but with the wrong person."
"He is dense." Raven shrugged. "But since we gave a report, if we have any other business, then spit it out before I leave."
"Wait a moment." Summer said while snapping her fingers. "I just recalled something."
"What?"
"Just the other day, Jaune told me that a new Haven student popped up, a Cinder Fall if I remember correctly." Summer said with a small frown. "And from what he told me, she's been...well…"
"What?" Kali asked with interest.
"She's been trying to 'talk'." Summer said while making air quotes. "With him, and not in the playful or funny way, I do mean 'talk'."
"That's your paranoia." Raven deadpanned at the girl.
"No, I mean the way she presents herself and her wording tells me something's off. Like when you and I just met and didn't trust each other entirely."
Raven raised her eyebrow at that. "I see, still think you're paranoid."
"I'm not paranoid!"
"Ahem." Willow coughed. "In light of this new evidence, I suggest we travel to Vale and make sure this isn't a one time miscommunication. Raven, I can count on you to make the necessary travel arrangements?"
"Yeah yeah, Kindred Link will be operational yata yata." she grumbled as she stood up along with the others.
"Ooh, maybe we can visit our daughters too?"
"Yang might be pissed." Raven said while drawing out her blade and slashed the air, creating a portal in the process. "Ok, this will lead us into Jaune's room."
"Yes! Another Team SWKR mission!" Summer cried out with joy while Willow shook her head.
'This team is so weird...I like it.' she thought as they entered the portal.
(Elsewhere)
-Sanus, Vale, Beacon Academy, JNPR's Room-
Zoop!
The portal quickly opened as the four women walked in, the red portal closing behind them, and looked around to make sure the coast was clear.
Although in Summer's case, she was busy rubbing her face against one of Jaune's spare hoodies.
"Summer? You're acting weird." remarked Raven with a deadpan.
"Eh? But I like doing this, it's soft."
"And smells." Kali deadpanned while noticing Crocea Mors resting on a table and picked it up, revealing it was infused with some fire Dust. "Ah, so this is what you gave him Willow, extra Dust."
"Well, I thought he needed the extra firepower." she blushed a little while becoming slightly sober. "Ugh, hangovers kicking in...ow."
"I keep telling you not to drink." Summer said while still rubbing the hoodie against her face. "We do NOT need you looking like Qrow."
"Yeah." Raven admitted while rummaging through Jaune's belongings. "We do not need an extra Qrow Branwen in the world...huh." she muttered while seeing a book entitled 'Faunus and Human Relationships, by Kali Belladonna'. "Looks like you're been turning him into a faunus lover."
"Hey, it's to promote peace between the two 'races'."
"Yeah, and half of this stuff is porn." Raven deadpanned while Summer noticed something on the bed.
That being a strange heart shaped letter.
She picked it up and read the contents out loud. "Dear Arc, I know you really have your sights on the Schnee but they are bottom feeding parasites, not worth your time. I want to meet you in person, because I find you attractive, especially after seeing you work out yesterday in the training halls. I hope you come, because I'm tempted to give you a more 'appropriate' gift~ From Fall."
"Parasites?" frowned Willow taking it and rereading it herself. "My ex-husband yes, but the rest of us? Hell no!"
"Especially after I helped with acquiring the data from his many illegal escapades." Kali frowned while re-reading the letter from Willow's left side. "Whoever wrote this either hates the Atlasian elite or has an ego matching Raven."
"I take offence to that, I'm a bitch that likes to survive, this...person is a bitch for being a bitch." Raven frowned while seeing another letter and read it outloud. "Dear Arc, I know we didn't see each other yesterday, as with my previous letter. But I really want to see you, and away from your friends, especially the animal from Team RWBY. Scratch that, I don't want you seeing the silver eyed brat, the animal, the parasitic Schnee and the...blond bimbo!? Ok! Me and Yang might not see eye to eye but THIS!? That's crossing it!"
"This Cinder girl is making me want to decapitate her!" Summer frowned. "No one calls my daughter a brat!"
"She is starting to make my blood boil." Kali frowned as Willow read the last part of the letter.
"I hope we can meet in a week's time. Preferably alone, I will be bringing some 'toys' with me, it will be a night you will never forget. Love, Fall. P.S. If you do come, I promise not to let the Fall of Vale ruin your good image." she raised an eyebrow. "Fall of Vale? That sounds almost like a threat."
"Possibly." Raven growled. "I wouldn't be surprised if...shit."
"What?" Kali asked in confusion as Summer went wide eyed as well.
"Um, this is a little bit of sensitive information." Summer said before Raven cut her off.
"Ozpin told me a while back that someone killed the Fall Maiden, well partially, her body is still in a coma under the school, even if she's technically brain dead at this point. But reading this Cinder Fall's letters just made me realize that she MIGHT be the one that attacked her, and possibly an agent of Salem."
"Wait a second, I saw her kill her! But...how did I forget her face and name!?" Summer said in shock, recalling that particular day when she and Qrow tried to stop a trio of assassins, only for the girl, Amber, to be placed into a brain dead coma.
"Must be one of her accomplices, might have scrambled your brain."
Willow groaned. "You mean the one that's trying to destroy humanity and is immortal?"
"Bingo."
"...by the gods, if this woman is part of that group, then Jaune's in serious danger."
"We have to warn him!" Summer yelled before Raven shook her head.
"If we tell him, it might cause this Fall character to catch wind of us and clamp down on him a lot sooner." Raven said while Kali nodded.
"Yes, we need to be smart about this."
"But-"
"Summer." Willow said calmly but with a hint of agitation in her tone. "We need to keep it in the shadows, we are Team SWKR, a team that hides in the shadows to make the world a better place. As such, we must keep our actions quiet and discrete."
Summer sighed. "True, but we still have to make sure Jaune's ok, if he dies it'll be like losing Taiyang all over again."
"And Ghira." Kali added sadly.
"..." Raven sighed. "Look, I have an idea. Why not use our influence to keep tabs on Cinder Fall, find out her plans and ruin them. We did that with the old White Fang and the SDC, why not with her?"
"Mmmm, that could work. We have the means and the resources for a long time operation of that scope, but we also have to make sure Jaune is looked after." Willow hummed. "That means we have to visit him, on different shifts, to not only give him the proper training but the extra weaponry, armor, Dust, and the right connections. Kali, Summer, Raven, are you up for Operation Save Jaune Arc's Ass?"
"Of course." Raven nodded.
"I'll get some tips from the White Fang here." Kali smirked.
"Yes! Let do this thing, go-"
Creak.
All four quickly turned as Ren walked in, stared at them and blinked at them.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...I'll leave you four alone." Ren said while closing the door and walked away. 'I'm not getting myself into that mess!'
(Some time later)
Jaune yawned while slowly getting up from his bed, a little tired and really wanting some breakfast, as he moved his hand to his alarm clock.
"Caw."
Only for him to turn and saw a raven sitting on the table.
"Caw."
"A bird?" he groaned while rubbing his eyes with his left hand, not seeing the bird transform into a woman or that his right hand was on her left breast.
Squish~
Boing~
"...are you going to start the day off by copping a feel?"
He blushed and moved away. "S-Sorry...wait. Raven?!"
"That's me."
"But...how?!"
"Let's leave that alone and get to the point." she said with a light blush. "I am here to train you, and no, I will not train you in the arts of wooing Weiss Schnee, I will train you in combat and combat alone."
"Uh….why not just send me a message?"
She shrugged. "Because this is a better way. Scrolls can be monitored, being in front of a target can't."
Jaune blinked while letting that sink in.
"Word of warning, my training is ten times as brutal as anyone in Beacon, and if you cry about it I will not hold your hand like a mother hen, I will beat you until you learn the lesson effectively. Do I make myself clear Arc?" she frowned while crossing her arms.
"Um, do I really have a choice?"
"No." she deadpanned while pulling him out of bed. "Now, get dressed. We will be jogging around the Emerald Forest, all day."
"But class-"
"Your team will take notes for you, now march! March!" she yelled as Jaune quickly got dressed, her eyes looking very closely at one thing.
The Arc ass, the very toned Arc ass to be exact.
'...just like Tai's.'
"Shouldn't I let the others know?"
"Yes. But exclude me, especially from your partner."
Jaune blinked while shaking his head. 'This is crazy.'
(A while later)
Jaune panted as he finally relaxed in his room, his body very tired as Raven, in her bird form, sat on his left shoulder as his team came back from a day's worth of class.
"Jaune? What happened?" Pyrrha asked while the bird glared at her.
"And what's with the bird?" Ren asked.
"A jog...around the Emerald Forest, lots of...Ursa." he groaned while Nora tried to pet the bird and got clawed in the face by its talons.
"Caw caw!"
"AH! Stupid bird!"
"Caw caw!" it cawed while Nora got her weapon out and ready.
"I'm gonna turn you into bird pancakes!" she yelled while raising her hammer up.
Poof!
Only for the bird to turn into a woman, pulled out a blade, placed it near Nora's neck and glared.
"The day that happens is the day I let my brother rejoin the tribe, and that will never happen." she growled before looking at Jaune. "And she's supposed to be the muscle? She's not even that smart for that job."
"What the hell!?"
"Who-" asked Ren before getting cut off. 'Wait...she was with those other women...better keep quiet before I get stabbed!'
"Call me a teacher for Arc here." she said before moving the blade away. "I will be here tomorrow, wake up at five for a jog around Vale, twice."
"What? But my legs feel like they're on fire!"
"So? In battle you have to be in top form." she said before walking to the window, only to look at Pyrrha. "You. I don't trust you and you don't trust me but you better make sure he's still alive by tomorrow or I'll end you, Invisible Girl."
Poof!
And like that, she turned into a bird and flew away, making Pyrrha feel very...jealous for some reason.
'Why me!?'
(A week later)
Jaune groaned while his legs were in pain, a whole weekend morning running around Vale had hurt him greatly and he was currently looking for a place to have brunch. 'So...hungry.'
But so far most places seemed packed with no seats in sight.
'Why me? Why did Raven decide to train on a weekend!? I need rest, not more training...still at least she didn't make me chop a Grimm in half with my legs.' he thought while taking a seat on a bench. 'Ugh…'
"Jaune?"
He blinked and looked to his left, only to see Kali Belladonna walking towards him while holding a small dagger on her left hip. "Kali? What are you doing here?"
"I'm here on business, the White Fang Sect here in Vale is a little...bad." she frowned. "I just came to check on things before reporting back to Sienna. What are you doing out here, and smelling like you just jogged a Kingdom's borders twice?"
"Well, let's just say someone paid me a visit and wants to run me through the wringer."
"Ah." She nodded while knowing who it was but kept her mouth shut. "Well, since you look hungry shall I accompany you somewhere to eat? I know some rather fond places, some of which are tolerant or down right accepting of the faunus."
GROWL~!
"Yes and thank you." He said with a light blush as he stood up.
Kali smiled at this. "I have to say, you are a gentleman. Although I must ask you, for Blake's sake, to stop wooing her teammate. She's really not interested in dating at the moment."
"Really?"
"Yeah, plus Blake is getting tired of the guitar."
"Why? I thought it was a good touch."
"Not to her sensitive hearing." She said as Jaune slumped a little. "But if you want to serenade me, I don't mind."
"What?" he looked at her in surprise, only for her to chuckle.
"I'm fine with it, I like a bit of flirting myself." She chuckled. "But we can talk about that later, lets get some food, you're treating~"
"Oh come on!"
"Hehehe." She giggled, her eyes glancing at his chest, which was sweaty and showed some muscle. 'Not as hairy as Ghira, but it's still nice and toned~'
"Why do I have to pay?"
"Because it's the gentleman's code. Feed the girl and pay for it too, don't you want to get a girlfriend?" She asked with a teasing tone, making Jaune blush.
"Well…"
"Then you have to pay, don't worry I'll repay you with some fun." Kali smiled. "Maybe even get you some faunus friends, it might be fun right?"
"I….fine." He said with a blush.
"Ok." She smiled while holding onto his right arm. "Let's get going, Jauney-poo~"
'Oh gods….is this a date?! But….HOW?!' He thought in embarrassment.
With that, Kali led him past the usual places and to what looked like a smaller and less crowded looking cafe.
Said cafe looked like it had a lot more faunus than humans, besides that it was a normal cafe.
Well normal if it wasn't for the White Fang members keeping the place nice and safe in the shadows, on Kali's orders apparently.
"Welcome to the Fox's Hole." Kali smiled. "The best cafe this side of Vale and maker of the world famous anchovy pasta."
"Anchovy what?"
"Anchovy pasta, it was originally my recipe but I sold it to this particular cafe and it's now world famous, even the elites of Atlas enjoy it." she said while smirking a little. "If only Blake was here, then you would've seen her stuffing her cheeks like a squirrel."
Jaune chuckled at the image in his head as they entered the cafe. There he saw a rabbit faunus at the counter with a smile.
"Hello, welcome to the Fox's H-Wait a second? Kali Belladonna?" She said with wide eyes. "Oh my gods, it's great to see you again."
"Same here, table for two please."
"Right away." she nodded before grabbing some menus and led them over to one of the empty tables and handed them the menus. "I'll be right back with your drinks."
Kali nodded as the faunus left, allowing her to look at Jaune. "She used to work for my former husband's White Fang, before it got too fanatical and I had to step in and fix it. And apparently she's the cousin of a Beacon student, Velvet if I recall. She's in her second year."
"Ah."
"So Jaune." She said while smiling. "Are you enjoying Beacon?"
"Oh it's great."
She looked around before whispering. "Even if it happened due to false transcripts?"
He groaned.
"Relax, my daughter got in because she was afraid of her ex. If Beacon can allow a 'terrorist' into its halls, they will allow you to stay as well." She smiled. "If anything, seeing you become a strong Hunter is more than enough proof that you belong there."
"Thanks, that means a lot actually." he said with a smile as the waitress walked back to their table, with a glass of water for Jaune and a glass of tea for Kali.
"Ok, I know that you want the anchovy pasta." She said to Kali before pointing to Jaune. "But I have no idea what you want, care to tell me?"
"Uh….I'll go with a tuna sandwich."
"With or without cheese?"
"Without."
She nodded. "I'll be back with your food, and Kali dear, try not to flirt with him too much." 'Even if it's funny as hell to see.'
"Oh? Are you saying an older woman can't flirt with her boyfriend?" she teased while Jaune blushed a little.
"B-B-Boyfriend?"
Kali turned to him and patted his cheek. "For today, although if you give me a good time maybe I could consider you as boyfriend material~"
And cue him turning a new shade of pink, like a salmon in heat. The waitress shook her head before walking off.
(A bit later)
Jaune blushed as he walked down the street back to the airship station, having just had a good lunch with Kali and even getting a few books from a bookshop she frequented, all the while Kali was currently making sure he was 'cleaned' up for his return trip to Beacon.
Aka he was currently getting his face wiped by her hands and the occasional sleeve.
"Um...Kali, I'm clean enough."
"Nonsense, you're still gleaming like a lightning Dust in use. Now hold still." she said while rubbing his forehead with her sleeve, oblivious to the people watching nearby.
'This is SO embarrassing!' he thought with a light blush while not noticing Blake walking out of an airship, currently on her way to get some books for her library, mostly steamly or otherwise hot titles. "Really, if you do anymore I'm gonna start shining."
"Relax, it will just be a moment." she said as Blake took notice of her and stomped towards her. "Oh? Ah, Blake, how are you doing?"
"Mom, what are you doing with him?"
"Just cleaning him up, he's a family friend." she smiled while getting Jaune's nose with her sleeve. "Really now Jaune, you need to better clean yourself or you might get blackheads on that nose of yours."
"Mmm-"
"Mom!" she yelled in embarrassment.
"Oh what's the fuss Blake?"
"It's weird! Plus it's Jaune, why-"
"Would I do this? Simple, we had a nice lunch date this morning." she said while wiping Jaune's chin and moved back. "There, you're now presentable enough for Beacon. I hope we meet up sometime before the Vytal Festival. I really want to spend more time with you. Mmmm, perhaps I could formally adopt you into the family~"
"MOM!" Blake yelled in shock.
"Kidding~ Really Blake, you need to lighten up a little." she chuckled as Jaune sweatdropped at this. "Although, I really think calling Jaune, 'my boyfriend' might make you even more embarrassed...but it's all in good fun, right Jaune?"
"Wait WHAT!?" Blake yelled as Jaune took this as the perfect opportunity to get back to Beacon.
"Well it was nice spending the time with you Kali, see you around, you too Blake!" he spoke up quickly before running off.
"Goodbye Jaune! Have fun training and if you're in Kuo Kuana, you're more than welcome to stay as long as you wish!" She called out as Blake still looked shocked at her mother's interest in the boy. "Oh relax Blake, we're friends. Besides, he's a nice boy once you get to know him."
"...just please don't do anything weird with him in public."
"Mmmm, perhaps~" she teased while Blake groaned.
(A few days later)
Jaune yawned as he walked down the hallway to the cafeteria, hungry as heck even if it's a saturday. 'That ten hour sword training was….so intense! Raven is a monster with that blade!'
GROWL!
'And at three in the morning no less.' he rubbed his belly with a sigh. 'If I don't get something big to eat, I won't last the day.'
As he made it to the dining hall, he noticed that it was a lot quieter than normal as in the far corner was Weiss and...her mother, looking a little on edge for some reason.
'Huh. Willow must've come to see me, or maybe check up on Weiss?' He thought before walking towards their table and sat across from them. "Hi Snow Angel, Willow."
"Don't call me that Jaune." Weiss frowned as Willow smiled.
"Hello Jaune Arc, fancy seeing you here."
"Why are you sitting with us?" asked Weiss, crossing her arms.
"Because I am acquainted with him." Willow said as Weiss looked at her in shock. "After all, he and I are friends."
"Yep." Jaune smiled. "So why are you here today Willow?"
"I came here to check up on my daughter, I heard that she and her teammate got into a fight, something about 'race', and I came to placate her on her actions." She said as Weiss looked away with a very embarrassed look on her face. "It is unbecoming of a Schnee and I do not want her to create another enemy."
"I said I was sorry."
"You don't need to tell me, tell that to your teammate, Blake Belladonna."
"I did!"
Willow sighed as Jaune gave her a look of sympathy. "Children, difficult sometimes."
"Well, it can relate a little bit. Given I have a nephew back in Argus, but I haven't checked up on him in a week or two." He chuckled slightly.
"You really should, even small visits have a big impact on a child's life." She said with sagely wisdom before pulling out a suitcase and placed it on the table. "Before I forget, I also came here to check up on you. More specifically about your suggestion from last month about turning Crocea Mors into a more, in your own words, 'badass weapon'."
He blinked in surprise.
"You did what?" spoke Weiss with a raised eyebrow.
"It was a silly idea, I mean I really thought it was a passing joke." Jaune said before Willow opened the suitcase, revealing that his ancestral blade was now a longsword with white edges, several barrels attached to the blade and hilt that allowed for canisters of Dust to be inserted and a seperate golden chain near the hilt that connected to a round shield shaped gold gauntlet. "Wow!"
"This is Crocea Mors V2. Capable of creating hard light constructs depending on the Dust used, it's powered by the gauntlet by several lightning Dust crystals that have been forged in such a way that it can hold a charge for ten years." Willow said with a smirk. "It's the finest marriage of weapon and Dust in all of Remnant and it's yours, Jaune Arc."
"It's amazing!"
"Mother, how much?"
"The cost was about ten thousand lien, which I invested into from my own account." She said with pride. "Consider it a gift, to show good faith between the Arcs and the Schnees."
Jaune looked at the weapon in amazement as Weiss stared at her mother in shock.
"Why would you put that much down on this!?"
Willow sighed. "Because Jaune Arc is a personal friend of mine. Friends treat each other with similar gifts, which you should be doing right now to make your friend accept you as a friend."
"But-"
"Thanks." Jaune interrupted. "I really do mean it Willow."
She smiled as Weiss grumbled at her mother's expensive investment. "Any time."
GROWL!
Willow blinked while seeing Jaune's blushing face. "Shall we make it a lunch date, between friends? Weiss, I hope you stay and chat with us."
"Do I have a choice in the matter?" Weiss asked.
"Not really, we haven't bonded in a while and I do require some….clarification on something."
"About what?"
Willow sighed. "About this Yang Xiao Long and how she flirted with Winter just last week. From what I heard she went off campus on the weekend and got herself, ahem, drunk while clubbing. But I don't know if she 'did the deed' with her or not." 'If she did, I'm going to murder her! No one deflowers my eldest daughter, not even Raven's child!'
"WHAT?!" She yelled in shock before Jaune noticed said blond walking in to get some lunch. "YANG XIAO LONG!"
"Yo, what's up Weiss?"
"How DARE you sleep with my sister!"
"..." she blinked while trying to recall that memory, only to snap her fingers in realization. "Oh yeah, the uptight lady. Wow, that was a fun night of-"
"YANG!" Weiss yelled in anger.
Willow sighed. "Yang Xiao Long, I give you fifteen seconds to run before I let my daughter maim you to near death. Starting now."
"Crap!" Yang cursed before running off, just as Weiss took out her weapon and ran after her.
"YANG XIAO LONG!"
Jaune sweatdropped at this. 'Damn it Yang!'
"Well now, it looks like it's just the two of us now." Willow said while calming down slightly, her smile becoming intoxicating to the blonde.
"That's true."
She placed a hand over her cheek and rested her elbow on the table. "So, want to talk about business, training or personal stuff?"
"Um... maybe personal?"
She smirked. "Good, because I wanted to ask you if you fancy coming to Atlas Academy once your Beacon days are over? It might get you some luck with the ladies."
"Wait, attend Atlas?"
"Yes, with your leadership skills and adaptable nature, you could become a Specialist in no time."
"But don't Hunters In Training become Hunters after attending one school?"
"Yes, but some retake their academy days in other Kingdoms, to gain experience and possible fame in some circles. It's not an uncommon practice." She said with a smile. "Plus seeing you in a suit might actually improve your image a little."
"Well, I'm not sure. I always figured after I became a Hunter I could say bye to school for good."
"Well, it's all up to you." She shrugged. "Although personally, you might thrive at Atlas Academy. Some discipline and a bit of proper training might help you on the field."
Jaune blinked while letting that sink in.
"But if you don't want to, I understand." She smiled. "My daughter chose not to attend either, and look at her now, she's a little undisputed but she has friends and that's what counts in the end."
"True."
"Oh I almost forgot. I heard from Weiss that you have a bunny onesie right?" She smirked with a teasing tone in her voice. "I want some pictures."
'Oh gods no!' he thought, going pale and gulped. "T-That's not true at all, not in the slightest."
"Then why are you so pale?" She teased back while poking his nose a little. "If you want me to stop, just give me the pictures. I won't laugh." 'Much.'
'Why do I NOT believe a word she just said!?' he thought standing up. "Well I better grab something to eat, I'm starving!"
Willow chuckled while watching Jaune quickly run off. 'Oh...how long have I laughed like that? Ten? Twenty years? Oh Jaune, you really know how to melt a woman's heart.'
(A few days later)
Jaune yawned, again in the last ten minutes, as he walked down the hallway to Professor Port's class, hoping that he wouldn't fall asleep again.
But as he entered the class, he was greeted not by Port, but by Summer Rose, who seemed to be excited for some reason.
'Yes! A substitute class with Jaune! Oh I'm going to enjoy this, wait is he here!? Calm down, just look professional and stay calm. Stay calm.' she thought while slapping her cheeks a little to compose herself. 'Don't look like a creep in front of him, or Ruby, definitely not in front of her of all people!'
'Summer? What's she doing here?' Jaune thought while taking a seat next to his partner Pyrrha. 'Something big must be going on.'
The woman coughed and turned to her class. "Welcome students. I am Summer Rose, mother of Ruby Rose of Team RWBY and former team leader of Beacon's best team ever, Team STRQ! Today, I'll be filling in for Port and well, after looking at the materials...we aren't going to follow them!"
The class looked confused as Summer continued.
"Instead, we are going to have some fun. All of you, against me. At the training halls!" She grinned. "And the first one to beat me gets free one hundred percents and cookies!"
"YES!" Ruby cried out as Weiss Facepalmed at her enthusiasm. "MOM'S COOKIES!"
'I knew I should have stayed in bed.'
Summer smiled before pointing to the door. "Ok class! Follow me!"
The class groaned as they walked out of the room.
(Later)
-Training Halls-
"Ok class." Summer smirked while pulling out her scythe. "Who wants to fight me first? Any volunteers in the audience?"
"Me! Me!" Ruby cried out as Summer pointed to Ren.
"You first. Also love the hair, ever thought of letting it loose?" She asked with a smile.
"Not really."
"Well I do!" Nora grinned as Ren walked to the center of the room. "Go get her, Renny! Break her legs!"
Summer smiled while making sure Jaune and Ruby saw her. 'Need to look cool yet professional. You can do this Summer!'
Ren pulled out his weapons and took aim, only for Summer to run towards him, kicked his legs and used her scythe to pick him up by the collar before sending him flying out of the boundary.
CRASH!
And right onto Cardin's face.
"AH!"
"One down, many to go." Summer smiled.
"Renny!" Nora cried out in shock.
"Wait." Weiss said in surprise. "Just how fast is your mother, Ruby?"
"Pretty fast, and that wasn't her semblance. It was all muscle." Ruby said as Yang nodded in agreement.
"Don't look down on her, she's not a real Huntress for nothing."
Weiss looked at this in disbelief as Summer pointed at her.
"Ok Miss Schnee, come up and show me your dancing moves." She taunted while knowing how she's going to fight due to her interactions with Willow.
"Very well, I accept." she said while walking to the center and took out her blade.
Summer smiled before seeing the glyph form right near Weiss' feet and quickly shot a bullet into the ground, letting her go airborne as she turned the scythe into a curved assault rifle that attached to her left shoulder, taking aim at the Schnee.
BAM!
And began firing at the woman with gravity bullets.
"Look out Weiss! Moms a monster in the air!" Ruby cried out. "Especially with her, especially Up Gravity Bullets!"
"Up what?" she asked before dodging a bullet, only to see part of the flow quickly rise up into the air and float like tiny clouds. "Ah crap!"
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
"No coaching Ruby!" Summer called out before dropping to the ground, turned her weapon back into a scythe, and charged towards Weiss' blindside, causing the girl to get hit, shattering her aura from that well timed hit. "And you're out! Always look at your blind spots!"
"Damn it!" Weiss cursed while amazed that she didn't last that long, much to Blake and Yang's surprise.
"Huh, she is like Ruby in a way, but a lot more strategic." Blake said while Ruby took offence to that.
"Hey! I'm plenty smart enough to make strategies!"
"Like trying to use ninja stars made out of Weiss' bad cooking?"
"One time!" she huffed while Summer pointed to Pyrrha.
"Come here champion." she smiled with a bit of falseness in her tone. "Let's see if you're really that special. Ok?" 'And to see if she's even worthy of Jaune! I will not share him with that champion!'
Pyrrha stood up and walked towards the woman, making sure her semblance was under control as Summer smiled.
"Ok, and before I forget." she said while smirking a little. "No, wait LOOK! Your team leader is stripping! Oh no Arc, why are you stripping!?"
"Wait what-" Pyrrha said while quickly darting her eyes towards Jaune, only to get hit by a scythe blade to the face, sending her back a few feet.
"No getting distracted!" she giggled while Pyrrha frowned at that, her face cut a little bit from the blade. "If you do, it could be your head."
She frowned before blocking a slash to the side with her shield as Summer quickly used her more superior speed to run circles around the girl, testing the limits of her quick reflexes.
'Mmmm, good form, needs some training near her right side but really good.' she thought before using the staff part of her scythe to slam Pyrrha's right hip, making her gasp in surprise before bashing her with the end a few times in the chest. "This hurts me more than it does you, oh wait. No it doesn't!"
"Oooh, that gotta hurt." Yang yelped while closing her eyes a little. "P-Money! Don't let mom fool you, she's quick and deadly with a pole weapon!"
"I said no coaching!" Summer yelled out before seeing Pyrrha using her semblance, trying to manipulate her own blade to curve in the opposite direction, something she had anticipated as she turned the blade into its assault rifle form.
BAM!
And shot the other way, making her collide with Pyrrha before changing the weapon back and pinned the redhead to the ground with her blade pointed near the neck.
"First rule of battle, always have a backup plan for the backup plan." Summer smirked. "Give up or do you feel lucky? Well? Do you punk?"
"Come on Pyrrha!" Nora called out. "Fight back!"
"You got this!" called out Jaune. "Don't give up!"
Pyrrha, her confidence now back to top shape, quickly kicked the woman up and turned her weapon into a rifle, which she used to fire upon Summer as she dodged the attacks.
"Sloppy! The bullets are sloppy!" She yelled out while quickly jumping back and smirked. "You really need to aim better, or you might lose an eye."
"Thanks for the tip." Pyrrha smirked before firing at the woman.
Summer quickly dodged and ran towards her, attempting to slash at the woman, only to be blocked by a shield. 'She's good. But I'm better!'
"You're almost there!" Jaune called out.
Slash!
Pyrrha slashed at the woman with her spear before attempting to jab at her chest.
Only to see Summer's eyes glowing silver as the woman's scythe began to glow with the same light, causing it to grow bigger and curve outwards.
"Pyrrha look out! That's mom's special finisher!" Ruby yelled out, knowing how that move means she's becoming serious in a fight. "It's a KO maker!"
"NO COACHING!" Summer yelled as she quickly swung the scythe around, causing the barrier to crack as she hit Pyrrha's shield.
Crack!
Causing it to crack as the force sent her flying out of bounds and right on top of Velvet.
"AH!"
Summer smirked while her eyes stopped glowing along with her weapon. "Invincible Girl? More like Invincible Noob! I win!"
"Booo!" Nora booed in annoyance. "Cheat! You used a semblance from a video game!"
"That wasn't my semblance, but I'm not telling~" she stuck out her tongue as Ruby and Jaune groaned at her childish nature. "So who's next?"
All the others kept quiet.
"Anyone?" She asked again before pointing to Jaune. "Hey, want to fight?"
"Um-"
"Great! Come-"
"Wait! I didn't bring my weapon to class!"
Summer blinked before moving the left side of her cloak to the side, revealing several bladed weapons, guns, Dust and bombs from within. "You can pick one of mine. I have plenty."
"Uh….I didn't stretch beforehand."
"Jaune!" Yang deadpanned. "Just go and fight mom before she comes up and kicks your ass first, she has a short fuse!"
"Ok ok!" He yelled while getting down and took a sword from Summer's cloak, not seeing her blush.
'He picked it! The one I used to masturbate to him at night!' "Ok, get ready because I won't hold back for anything except cookies. And I don't see any cookies."
"You got it." 'I'm gonna die!'
Summer smirked before running right at him.
(Later)
-Team SWKR's HQ-
"You did what?!" Willow yelled as Summer chuckled nervously.
"I might have broken his aura and...nearly cut his nose off."
"Summer! He was to be trained, NOT killed!"
"I got into the moment!" She blushed as Raven chuckled at her expense.
"I know the feeling all too well."
Kali sighed. "Well, at least he's still in one piece right?"
"Yeah, and I got to give him a hundred percent grade for compensation."
"And the cookies?"
"...damn it! I forgot to give him those cookies!"
"Our leader." Raven snickered. "The most scatterbrained woman in Remnant."
"I resent that!"
Willow sighed. "Moving past Summer's incessant endangerment of our target. The next order of business is our reports on one Cinder Fall. Who wants to start?"
And cue all three women raising a hand.
Willow sighed. "Ok, shall I pick myself instead?"
"No, let me!" Summer cried out.
"You go last, since you nearly killed Jaune." She deadpanned.
"Aw!"
"Kali, you first."
Kali nodded. "Well from what I gathered from the White Fang Valian Sect, the ones that Raven and I interrogated. This Cinder Fall has been using them, a Adam Taurus and local criminal Roman Torchwick to steal large amounts of SDC and local Dust supplies to create an explosive force near the city's boundaries, possibly underground to blow Vale up."
"And they had a few Paladins too. The prototypes." Raven added as Willow frowned at that.
"Was Sienna Khan notified of this?"
"No, not at all, just a set of fox eared brothers and a few extremists in the old White Fang. Other than that, nothing but rumors and gossip."
"Ugh."
"From what I could find." Raven said with a frown. "This woman used to be an Atlesian, adopted by the madam of the now destroyed Glass Unicorn. She was effectively a slave to her and her daughters before going missing a few years back. The body of a Hunter named Rhodes was found in the smoldering wreck but nothing more from the documentations."
"Sounds like we know what pushed her forward."
"Yes." Summer said with a serious tone. "I don't condone her at all, but no mother, even an adopted one, shouldn't even act like that. If I had known this before graduating, maybe I could've made her my daughter as well. Oh well, she's an enemy now."
"Unfortunately." Willow nodded in agreement. "And from what I gathered from several 'tracked' SDC produced products, including several illegal ones, she has been in contact with one Arthur Watts, Atlas' leading roboticists before 'dying' in a weapons test gone wrong. Her Scroll data contained a deadly virus that, if used, could destroy the mainframe of every CCT tower in Vale and possibly give them control over Atlas' Atlesian Knights and Drones. Effectively making her have an army of lifeless robots at her command."
"Well, sounds like Salem has thought of everything, with her little pawn doing all the work." Raven frowned.
"Yeah." Summer nodded. "And from what I gathered, she's posing as a Haven student by apparently Leonardo Lionhearts' certification. She is with two others, Emerald Sustrai, a thief with a semblance capable of creating illusions upon eye contact, and Mercury Black, son of the assassin Marcus Black who had no semblance but has a pair of prosthetic legs. From what I can gather, she is going to use them to make one of the teams at the Vytal Festival get eliminated in front of a broadcasted stadium. Possibly Yang."
"Which makes me want to cut off their heads." Raven scowled.
Willow sighed while taking a deep breath. "We know her motives, actions and plans. But what I don't understand is WHY seduce Jaune Arc?"
"Maybe Salem sees some hidden potential in him no one else does, or maybe he has a semblance that's extremely rare and could be useful to have on her side."
"True." Kali hummed. "I noticed it a little during our conversation at the Fox's Hole. His semblance was subconsciously filtering the toxins in his water, the one that makes people tell the truth."
"Same here." Summer nodded. "When we battled, his aura seemed to increase to block most of my attacks. It felt like hitting a brick wall half the time."
"Then it's all the more reason to keep that from happening."
"Agreed." Raven said with a nod. "I suggest we visit him one last time, together and 'act' like bickering fools for no reason. This way we can draw out the woman, possibly during one of her attempts and seducing Jaune and then one of us will quickly distract Jaune before getting that bitch's Scroll and adding some of Willow's data bugs-"
"Scroll viruses."
"Whatever. And get the bugs to copy her plans into a private folder, so we have evidence to convict her for treason and conspiracy to destroy the sovereignty of Vale."
"Works for me."
"Yes! Let's go Team-"
Creak.
That was when Klein, the family butler, opened the secret entrance and bowed.
"My apologies, Miss Schnee. Your daughter is calling, she wants to remind you that Miss Yang Xiao Long will not attempt any sexual acts on Miss Winter." he said while Willow groaned along with Raven.
"Fine, tell her it's ok." she said as the shorter man walked out and closed the door. "Ugh!"
"My daughter really needs to stop annoying the Schnees." Raven grumbled. 'Still, good job claiming your woman, you really make the Branwen Tribe proud!'
(Some weeks later)
-Beacon Academy, Courtyard-
"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY DAUGHTER!" yelled Summer while she, Kali, Raven and Willow were 'fighting' in the open, letting the students that passed them take notice with intrigue.
"I said she is weak and fat!" Raven snapped. "I want no part of her in Yang's life! I'm taking her to Mistral!"
"You try that and I'll decapitate you myself!"
"Try it." she frowned. "At least I can do a better job than the Schnee and her pet!"
"How dare you!" Kali snapped in fury as Teams RWBY and JNPR started to overhear their outbursts. "I am a faunus! Not the Schnee's pet!"
"Could have fooled me given how you follow her everywhere."
"She only follows me because I have business here." Willow snarled as her daughter and her allies came closer to them. "Such as getting her out of this academy, I do NOT want my daughter tainted by faunus filth or Branwen blood!"
"Funny, and here I thought the Schnees were completely pureblooded, must be all the inbreeding your class love to do, but don't want to talk about. I weep for your children."
"Why you-"
"Mother/Mom!" yelled Weiss, Yang, Blake, and Ruby as they got in front of them.
They frowned while each one made a small unseen wink to the other, just as they saw Cinder Fall moved towards their location. 'Part one complete, start part two.'
"What are you doing here mom!?" Ruby cried out. "And what's with all the fighting!?"
"Sorry Ruby, but you are leaving." Summer frowned. "Because I do NOT want anything to do with these women or their children, including the Branwen spawn."
"At least we can agree on that Rose." Raven frowned. "My daughter needs strong people, not weak willed brats like your daughter, she's not even worth my daughter's affections!"
"Weiss, pack your bags, you're going to start training in Atlas and away from these barbarians."
"Blake, you are going back to Menagerie. I do not want your reputation as chieftain's daughter soiled by an anti-faunus inbred." Kali frowned while pointing to Weiss. "Especially from a racist like her!"
"Keep your filthy animal tongue away from my daughter!" Willow snarled while Kali growled.
"Mom! What is going on?!" asked Yang. "What is your deal with Weiss' mom?"
"She and I are enemies." frowned Raven while pulling out her sword, along with Summer who pulled out her scythe. "And if these fools do not back off I shall sever their heads from their bodies."
"Same here." Summer narrowed her eyes as Willow grabbed Weiss' blade and Kali took her daughter''s weapons. "I should've kicked you out of the house when Tai died."
"Do NOT mention him, you, homewrecker!"
"Mom, stop!"
"Mother, this is insane!"
"Silence!" Willow yelled while her glyphs appeared behind her and a massive Queen Lancer appeared behind her. "As a Schnee, it's my duty to end anyone that ruins the family name!"
"Same here." Kali frowned while cracking her head. "I might be rusty, but I'll be damned before I let my daughter be friends with the enemy of all faunus!"
And just like that, a battle ensued as Cinder Fall seemed interested in this turn of events.
'Who would have guessed four grown women could act like such children, in front of their own children.' she thought with a smirk while not seeing Raven using a portal to disappear from the battle, the smoke and dust obscuring everything. 'Still, I guess I could watch them, it's better than watching Mercury's bad pickup lines.'
Summer slashed at the ice construct as Kali shot bullets at the Schnee, each one putting on an interesting front, making sure they don't hit each other or cause too much damage yet staging each and every attack like an actor in an action film series.
"This is crazy!" Ruby cried out as Yang frowned.
"How did this even happen?"
"I don't know." Blake said before turning to Jaune, who was trying to get Nora away from the battle for personal reasons. "But Jaune here might know. Hey, Jaune!"
He blinked and turned to the faunus. "Huh, Blake?"
"What is going on with my mother?"
"Yeah." Yang frowned while Weiss and Ruby mimicked the blonde brawler. "You somehow know them well, what's the big deal?"
"Well….I have no idea. I mean they seemed calm the last time we met." Jaune said while the battle started to 'escalate' to the point of nearly causing other students to get caught up in the chaos.
"Did they say anything that seemed out of nowhere?"
"No." Jaune shook his head. "They were very calm, and actually on good terms."
Ruby looked confused as a stray bullet nearly hit her against the cheek. "Ah!"
"Oh that's it!" Yang growled as her eyes turned red. "No one messes with Ruby-"
"Hold on." Jaune said quickly. "Maybe I should stop the fight? I mean if you went in, the school might get damaged."
"Are you sure?" Weiss asked.
"Well, they do know me. Plus if I get hurt maybe they will stop?"
"With mom." Yang deadpanned. "That's impossible."
"But it's worth a shot right?"
"...fine."
And like that, Jaune gulped and jumped into the fray, only to get himself shot, punched and slashed by the three women's attacks, nearly sending him flying in the process.
CRASH!
But it DID cause him to go flying into Cinder Fall and cause them to fall to the ground, the former in her chest and the latter on her ass.
'That didn't work.' RWBY thought in unison.
"Ow…"
"Get off." Cinder frowned before getting an idea. "Or are you wanting to meet me that badly?"
"Um…" he said while not noticing that the three older women had turned their attention to Cinder, and were not happy at all.
She trailed her left finger across his chin and smirked. "Don't be shy, I know you wanted a chance to talk with me since I arrived. I mean, you are in need of a friend like me, perhaps more?"
'What is she talking about!?' he thought while the three older women bristled with anger.
Cinder smirked while no one noticed Raven appearing again in the 'battle', a small chip in her hands as she pocketed it in her left sleeve. "Come on Arc, have a heart and just say you'll be my friend."
SLASH!
Cinder dodged the red bladed sword of Raven as said woman narrowed her eyes.
"Willow, Kali, Summer." she said with a less angry tone, but one that didn't mask her disgust at the Haven student. "The plan worked, you can stop play fighting."
And like that, the other woman sighed and became slightly more relaxed, much to their daughter's confusion.
"Uh….what just happened?" Blake asked while blinking in confusion.
"No idea." Yang said while Weiss saw her mother moving her left hand towards her Scroll and began talking to someone on the other line.
"Yes, Vale Police Department? Yes, I made contact with the suspect. Yes, yes. Right away, and tell General Ironwood to bring some bullheads, preferably with human based occupants." Willow said before hanging up, as Kali and Summer placed their weapons around Cinder's neck. "They will be here shortly."
"Good." Kali smirked. "Because I really was getting tired of spouting nonsense like that."
"Same." Summer smiled. "But first, ahem. Cinder Fall, you are under arrest for conspiracy to destroy the sovereignty of Vale, illegally aquiring Dust, stealing top secert Atlesian techology, conspiracy to murder, the murder of Tuskion, Amber and possibly many more people across Remnant. You have the right to remain silent or you will be detained with lethal force."
"Excuse me?" Cinder frowned. "On what grounds?"
Raven smirked. "Simple, your own Scroll history."
Cinder raised an eyebrow before the woman pulled out a chip from her sleeve.
"This has copied all of your personal data, every contact, evey translation, even those that you personally threw away." she said calmly. "And look at what I found while easily opening your Scroll? A virus, one that could destroy the CCT tower's mainframe in one go, and look who it was commissioned by? A known Atlesian traitor."
"And we know about your personal escapades with Roman Torchwick." Willow said sternly. "How you are going to blow up Vale with Dust bombs and then hack your way during the Vytal Festival to bring down the Kingdom. I dare say, you were a busy little bee, but you lost and the authorities will arrive shortly to bring you to a maximum security prison before being tried and executed for your numerous crimes."
Cinder narrowed her eyes, Jaune looking at her in shock and horror, along with every other student there who heard this.
Summer smirked while whispering in Cinder's ear. "How does it feel? To run away from the Glass Unicorns' mistress only to be trapped here?"
She glared before trying to summon a fireball in retaliation, only for Raven to stab her in the right hand, making her scream in pain as Kali used this opportunity to tire the woman's arms up with some rope she concealed in her sleeves.
"No use fighting it." Raven smirked while turning to her daughter. "Sorry for using you as a pawn but it was either letting this woman destroy Vale or having a clean sting operation."
She blinked while not seeing Ozpin and Glynda walking towards the four women, very much confused over the previous fight.
"Care to explain to us what's going on?" Glynda frowned while pointing her whip at the Schnee matriarch.
"Ah." Willow said while seeing them come. "Perfect timing, Goodwitch, please restrain Miss Emerald and Mister Mercury. They are this woman's accomplices and known assassins."
Said teammates, who had just appeared to see what was taking their 'leader', only for them to hear what Willow said and tried to run, only for Glynda's semblance to hold them in place.
"And try to mind the girl's eyes. They are part of her semblance." Kali said while seeing her daughter's confused face. "Sorry Blake, I really wanted to tell you but I didn't want to ruin the operation."
"Wait, still lost here!"
Summer chuckled at Ruby's antics. "Simple, we found out about Cinder's crimes and stopped them. Like real superheroes."
Raven nodded while eyeing Ozpin. "And did it without your interference as well."
Ozpin sighed as he knew about Raven's distrust of him, since he nearly killed Summer on a botched mission. "Perhaps, but next time try and inform us beforehand."
"The day that happens is the day I allow my daughter to fall for a Schnee." Raven deadpanned as Yang sweatdropped and Weiss glared at her. "Now if you excuse us, we have a bullhead to catch."
"With plenty of Atlas troops ready to take these three away." said Kali while Willow nodded.
"Yes." she said before looking at Jaune. "Consider this a debt to you. I hope you can follow through with your end in the foreseeable future."
"Um…" Jaune said while still confused as Raven dragged Cinder away, the other adults following soothe as Summer patted his head.
"See you next week. I'm going to see my daughter take part in the tournament." she smiled before walking away. "Bye Ruby! Bye Yang!"
The group stared at each other while very much confused at the entire event, and possibly having a mental overload.
"Uh…..what….the heck….just happened?"
"I have no idea." Weiss said while rubbing her head. "But I need a nap, badly."
"Same here." spoke Blake.
"Yep, but preferably not in the same bed." Yang tried to joke while still overwhelmingly confused as to why her mother showed up.
"Gross!" Ruby gagged.
(Elsewhere)
-Team SWKR's HQ-
Cinder groaned while currently waking up from a tranquilizing effect, made by a needle pricked on her neck during her containment, and notched very quickly that she was chained the the floor by her neck and limbs by heavy steel chains as she was in an unknown room with the four women behind her capture standing around her with a sickling expression of satisfaction.
"Well well well, look who's awake." chuckled Raven while holding a glass of wine.
"Ugh...wh...a?" she groaned out while Kali tisked at her.
"Such a silly girl. Trying to play the big girl in Salem's schemes." she smiled falsely. "From trying to turn my organization into a zoo full of terrorists to trying to frame my 'sister's' daughter in the coming tournament. You really have been a bad girl."
"And don't forget." Summer chuckled. "Trying to take something that didn't belong to her."
Cinder shook her head, frowning as she tried to heat up the chains.
Willow took notice and pressed a button on her Scroll, causing the chains to glow blue as an electrical current coursed through the chains into Cinder's body. "Don't bother. Those chains are made with one hundred percent steel infused lightning Dust. One click from my Scroll and you will be reliving your time with the madam, but ten times the power."
"And that's only if we're generous enough not to cut your limbs off."
Cinder frowned while her tongue began to move again properly. "What are your four hope this is going to accomplish?"
They looked at each other and shrugged. "Nothing much, just gratification."
That made Cinder's blood turn cold as Summer patted her head.
"You know Cindy." she smiled. "It wasn't the fact you were a Salem worshiper that annoyed us, that was a incentive to catch you before you did something stupid."
"Then what?"
"You tried to steal a treasure of ours." Raven said with a frown. "A treasure that all four of us agreed upon to share. The very reason why we haven't tried to kill each other in cold blood."
"...which is what?" Cinder asked before getting slapped by Willow.
"Jaune Arc, the boy you tried and failed to sway to your side." she frowned as her eyes seemed to be iced over. "Blonde hair, blue eyes, is a team leader of JNPR. Ring any bells?"
"...that's it? All this over some brat?" spoke Cinder with disbelief before smirking and began to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Summer asked while looking ready to pull out her scythe and chop her up, something Cinder didn't notice in her laughter.
"Four old women, going through all these lengths, ALL for a boy toy? Oh that's precious, and pathetic at once." she smirked while seeing Kali walk over to her. "Oh what-"
SQUISH!
Cinder's left eye went wide in shock as the faunus just pushed her right index and thumb into her right eye and pulled it out in one move, the woman looking rather annoyed.
"Old perhaps, but Jaune isn't." she said before squishing the eye in the palm of her hand. "A boy toy."
"A-A-AHHHHHHHHHH!" Cinder screamed as Raven slapped her face, making her quiet.
"Shut up, this was your fault. Mocking the most powerful group in Remnant in our faces. Count yourself lucky we took an eye, not your head at this moment." Raven frowned while Cinder started to gulp in fear. "Now you must be wondering, why are you here? Simple, we want to send Salem and your irk a clear message."
"And...what's that?"
Willow smirked. "No one takes Jaune Arc."
"But…"
"And." Summer said calmly. "No one ruins our fun. Not even you dear."
Cinder gulped while trying to act tough in front of these women. "I-I can get you in good graces with Salem. Yeah, I can make sure you all are presentable to her for any...business actions?"
They deadpanned at her.
"Unique requests?" she squeaked out.
Summer tisked. "Nope~ Won't work, especially when we already have the army, the resources, the lien and the information that could unite the Kingdoms together against Salem. But unlike Ozpin, we do it discreetly. Like you but better."
"So really, you have nothing we want." Raven said while looking at Kali. "Unless you have anything to ask for?"
Cinder looked at her with some hope, only to see the faunus shrugged and licked her bloody nails.
"Not really. I mean I have family and a daughter. Nothing else comes to mind...wait. I do have one request."
"That would be?" Willow asked with a smirk.
"I want to see her limbs slowly cut off with Summer's scythe. While Raven plays, break the fingers with her hilt." She smiled. "I want her to squirm like the worm she is~"
"Sounds good to me."
Cinder paled while seeing Summer taking out her scythe along with Raven as she tried to access her Fall Maiden Powers, only for Willow to press the button and shock her more.
"Kali dear, want to be the next Fall Maiden?"
"Nah, you can have it." she said with a smile. "You hit it more, especially with the maturity level."
"Oh thanks. Summer, Raven, you can start now. Slowly."
"With pleasure."
'A-AHHHHHHHHH!'
(Later)
-Grimmlands, Evernight Castle-
Salem tapped on her throne while waiting for Cinder's next update, having not heard from her in ages. She was getting so annoyed, she was half tempted to grab some wine just to pass the time.
Knock knock.
"Enter." She said while seeing Hazel walk in with a white package in his hands. "What?"
"A package arrived at the gates."
'Odd, humans never come here and why a package?' she wondered while taking the box as Hazel left her alone before she opened it up slowly.
Only to see a small letter on top of a velvet cloth that read 'For the Queen. Knight takes the Red Queen.'
"...eh?" She muttered before removing the cloth, only to see a cut off hand with a familiar heart shaped tattoo branded onto its delicate skin. She frowned and narrowed her eyes. "Oh, someone has quite the nerve to strike first."
"Salem." Hazel said while pointing to the back of the letter.
She turned the paper and read out loud. "Best regards Team SWKR. Bitch slayers."
"What will you have us do?"
"Find them and destroy them." She frowned before seeing something else at the bottom of the box, revealing it to be four naked asses pointed to her direction. "Scratch that. Bring them to me so I can END THEM!"
(Elsewhere)
-Team SWKR's HQ-
Clank!
"Cheers!" The four women smiled while taking a sip of their wine glasses.
"To a mission well done." Willow smiled happily.
"And to snuffing out a horrible influence to Jaune."
"Here here." Summer smiled while wrapping her arm around Raven, who blushed. "Another successful mission and as team leader I'll say that it was so epic!"
"And to moon Salem herself." Kali chuckled. "We are going to get another enemy on our plate."
"Nothing we haven't handled before." Raven smirked.
"Which means just one more thing to worry about." Willow said while drinking her wine. "Who will be the first to marry him?"
"Me!" the other three women said at once, only to stare at each other with annoyance.
"Um…"
"I wanted to go first." Summer pouted.
"You can go after me." spoke Raven.
"No." Kali frowned. "After me, I'll share once that happens."
"Ahem." Willow coughed. "As the one that organized the sharing schedule, I call the shots. And I choose myself as the wife, and you the mistresses."
"Hell no!"
"That's an unfair advantage and you know it."
"Yet we all agree to share him. It's a matter of being the wife in public."
"And I call dibs." Raven frowned. "He needs a strong woman in his life."
"I'm strong too!" Summer frowned. "I'm stronger than you, that's for sure."
"I'm better at being a mother to him then you two." Kali deadpanned.
"So am I." Willow deadpanned as well before they started a heated argument.
And so another day for Team SWKR comes to an end. Happy trails Team SWKR! Go forward and get your man!
