I got a message from someone, who will not be named asking if I really don't plan anything I write. The answer to that is "yup" everything that I write just seems to flow out of me the minute I start typing.
Jaune sat atop the motel and stared at the floating land of atlas in wonder. This was his first mission, he'd already received all the details of his assignment from his master along with a map of the terrain from watts. Recon sounds like a good idea, better to learn about the surrounding area just in case there's an emergency, jaune thought to himself as he hopped off the roof.
After walking through mantle for the last hour or so jaune still hated the place. The cold, the atlas droids and the way people seemed to want to avoid others really rubbed him the wrong way. Jaune made his way down a road that seemed busy for some reason, turns out it was the grand opening for the brand new office of the schnee dust company. Jacque schnee stood in front of the crowd and gave a speech that jaune ignored completely, his eyes locked on the guards that were currently being taken out quietly by masked individuals.
"Just my luck" jaune whispered as he pulled the hood of his coat over his head and moved towards the front of the crowd. Reaching under the back of his coat jaune drew a combat knife that could mechashift into a long sword when he needed it to. The Guard's at the front of the line caught sight of him and made to intercept only for jaune to break into a full blown sprint towards the pedestal where Jacques schnee was.
The Guard's yelled a warning for the people to get down but jaune had already cleared the space between them, jumping on top of one of the guards before jumping to the pedestal. A hidden huntsmen moved quickly, stepping in front of Jacques and extended his arm to defend the man from the frontal assault about to happen. Jaune jumped once more over the two individuals in front of him to knock the young man who jumped off the roof and was set to kill Jacques schnee, out of the air.
The assassin crashed through the buildings window as jaune landed behind Jacque. Jaune turned to the white haired man "your in danger here sir, the white fang I'm guessing have come for you". The huntsmen step forward and pulled his cloak off revealing his identity as General Ironwood "I don't know who you are but I'd stand down if I were you, your actions are interfering in huntsmen affairs". The decision was taken out of his hands when the white fang members began to open fire on everyone wearing a atlas uniform.
The General grabbed Jacque and pulled him down and out of the line of fire. Jaune ran quickly zigzaging his way past gunfire as he approached his targets, a few bullets hit there mark but jaune pushed through. Coming to the closest faunus, jaune pushed the man's gun away before slitting his throat, catching the body and using it as a meat shield, jaune moved on to the next person in line. One after another the white fang members watched there numbers get cut down by someone half there age.
The General watched what he believed to be a massacre as the smaller individual covered the streets in faunus blood. The last member of the white fang dropped his weapon and fell to his knees begging to be spared. Jaune reached down and grabbed the faunus by his collar and dragged him before the general "if you want to beg someone for anything do it to him" jaune pointed to Ironwood "after all it was his men your people killed".
The General didn't wait for the faunus to beg before knocking him out "I'd like to thank you for your assistance" the general turned to jaune. Jaune waved his hand trying to dismiss any kind of praise the General might offer only for Ironwood to shoot him in the back with a lightning dust bullet. Ironwood watched the young man collapse on the floor before turning to Jacque "are you alright"? Jacques smack ironwood's hand away "I am, no thanks to you and your men" Jacque dusted himself off.
The General didn't have time for this so he moved to tie up the young man who helped him. Once the captives were detained ironwood called for additional soldiers and huntsmen to help escort both the VIP and the captives back to Atlas. Once both of the captives were placed in holding cells the General escorted Jacques schnee home personally.
Arriving at the schnee manner, Jacque disembarked before turning to Ironwood "I wouldn't do anything unsavory to that boy General" Jacques sent a video file of the current news in Atlas to Ironwood. The General opened the clip to see himself shoot the boy in the back as the captions rolled on by saying in big bold letters (hero betrayed by General). Jacque enter his home and the General returned to Atlas Academy with hope that the boy was now awake so he could be questioned.
Waking up in a cell was bad news especially if that cell was in Atlas. Jaune checked his surrounding area but the room was bare for the most part until the door to his cell opened and the General walked in alone. "You know a simple thank you would've done just as good" the General smirked "sorry but I couldn't afford to take any chances on the off chance you were an enemy". Jaune couldn't help but sigh "I save you and the first thing you think is, he's a bad guy"? Jaune shook his head "that's some messed up logic"
"First off you didn't save me" jaunes smile said otherwise "and secondly you were illegally using a weapon within the city without a huntsmen license". Jaune just shrugged his shoulders "in case you haven't noticed everywhere is dangerous nowadays, take today for example". That didn't explain the boys incredibly skill with a blade and the fact he slayed all those men without so much as blinking a eye, Ironwood thought.
The General paced back and forth in the room, never once turning his back on jaunes. "Tell me where did you receive your training from" jaune smiled at the question "my departed master taught me how to stay alive at any cost" jaune lied easily. "Do you have any family we could contact" jaune shook his head "I've been a orphan for most of my life, my master was the only one I've ever considered family" he lied again.
The General couldn't help but smile "I see, well this works out nicely then" Ironwood stood a little taller. "I've read your file and apparently your only twelve with no family located in mantle or Atlas and no other legal guardians are listed" jaune was starting to feel uncomfortable. The General continued "by law I'm obligate to send you to are orphanage until your of adult age of eighteen but since you show such promise as a huntsmen I've made the legal documents to officially adopted you" now jaune felt incredibly sick.
Ironwood strode over to jaune and place his hand on the boys shoulders "I look forward to getting to know you better" the Generals smile grew "Son". Jaune thought of Salem, his mom was gonna kill him if the General didn't first.

Back in mantle cinder and vernal watched on the news how jaune got captured by the General of Atlas. Cinder knew they were screwed and vernal, well she was unconscious on the floor.

The young assassin escaped out the back of the building and into the sewers before anymore Atlas soldiers could capture him. Following the sewage back to the outskirts of mantle, the assassin made his way to an abandoned mine where there base was at. "Adam are you ok" a cat faunus asked, Adam nodded to her "Blake, the operation was a failure, I need to speak to Sienna" Blake nodded and guided him to a monitor.
The screen flashed and a tiger faunus appear before them. Adam and Blake knelt down "high leader khan I take it you've heard the news already" Sienna nodded in acknowledgement. "I accept full responsibility for this failure and will accept any punishment you give but I have one request" Sienna sat back in her chair "you dare ask me for a favor after all those faunus were murdered under your orders"? Adam flinched at Sienna's anger but continued "I would like to know the name of the person who interfered in are plan, so I can make sure it never happens again".
Sienna was still pissed but she agreed to his request "Adam, when we find out who this person is, I want you to make an example out of him". Adam bowed his head "I swear he'll regret the day he crossed the white fang" with a flash the screen died, leaving Adam and Blake in silence.
Life rarely goes the way we want it too, better to just roll with the punches.
