This chapter was more fun to make for me personally because I feel like I haven't given jaune a hard enough challenge as of yet.

Nightfall came and most of the group had boarded the ship already, the ones who hadn't were inspecting the cove for any loose ends. Blake finished inspecting her area and gave the ok for her area before boarding the ship. Blake walked over to ilia "is something wrong" she asked.

Ilia reached up and pulled her mask off "I don't like this, that kid is no older than us yet Adam is treating him worse than a war criminal". Blake's cat ears fell slightly "he's just being cautious because he knows how dangerous that human is".

Ilia's eyes narrowed "If that was really true he wouldn't be having some of the white fang down there now to beat up someone who can't fight back". Blake's eye's widened in surprise before she headed to the stairs to go below the deck, there in the humans cell was three white fang members stomping on the boy who couldn't even guard himself. Even if it was Adam's orders this was too cruel even for her to be okay with, rushing to the cell she began to push the other members away from the prisoner.

"Stop it" she yelled as she put herself between the prisoner and the fang members. The grunts were surprised at first but quickly regained themselves "what the hell, we're just following orders" the first grunt said. The other grunts agreed and began voicing there own opinions but Blake didn't care cause this was wrong, there was no need for further violence. Blake began arguing with the grunts about following such orders but the grunts wouldn't change their minds about how they treated the human, with all the yelling taking place, no one noticed jaune slipping his hands under his feet.

His messy blonde hair covered his eye's which gave people the impression that he was unconscious but the truth was he was waiting for the perfect opportunity. This faunus girl seemed a bit better than the rest but regardless of how she felt, she still worked with the fang which ment she would suffer their fate. Jaunes eye's traveled up and down the girls back noticing she had a katana strapped to her left hip and what looked like a small knife attached to her pants leg.

Taking a few seconds to consider his options wasn't a waste as two of the grunts got fed up with the situation and left altogether. Just the cat faunus and one grunt left, this was his best opportunity to escape from the fang. Kicking the back of the cat faunus legs caused her to fall back on to him which allowed him to take the small knife she had on her leg. The grunt moved to restrain him but fell victim to the small knife that jaune rammed into his throat, jaune legs kept the grunts body from crushing him. While jaune dealt with the grunt the cat faunus climbed to her feet and tried to run away but jaune pushed with his legs and sent the body of the grunt flying into her.

Blake felt the force of the grunts body slam into her back, her face cracked against the wall before she could activate her aura. Fear was the first thing she felt and it's what drove her to try and escape, crawling out from under the dead faunus she made for the stairs when she was hit in the center of her back by something. She tried to scream for help but a hand that covered her mouth pulled her back and away from the stairs. Jaune wrapped his arm around the girls throat and squeezed tightly, cutting off her air supply until she passed out in his arms.

Once he was sure she was out and wouldn't get back up, he got to work stripping the dead faunus of his clothes and taking the cat faunus's mask to cover his identity. Now with the cat faunus's mask in place he took one last look around until his eye's settled on the cat girls face "I'll let you live because you tried to help me out". Jaune climbed up the stairs to see several white fang members just milling about without a care in the world, never once thinking he could or had escaped.

When they took him captive they also brought his sword here but it wouldn't be long before someone realized he was out and about. He shook his head, it was regretful but he couldn't waste his time searching for it plus this uniform had some blood on it and it wouldn't take long for someone to figure out why. He waited till there wasn't anyone around before he leapt over the railing but kept hold so he wouldn't make a big splash in the water.

A few grunts walked by "hey did you hear something" the other grunts just shrugged "your probably just hearing things"

Jaune waited till they moved on before lowering himself gently into the water, taking a deep breath he dived underwater and headed towards the mouth of the cove.

Ilia had been waiting for Blake to return for what felt like hours now but the only few people to come back were some of the grunts. Placing her mask on her face she headed downstairs only to walk onto a scene she couldn't have imagined. Blake laid a small ways away from a grunt who had been strip of his clothes with a deep knife wound to the neck.

Ilia knelt to check Blake and was relieved to see her still breathing, shaking her gently caused Blake to cough and regain consciousness. Blake took in her surroundings until her eyes landed on the dead faunus, her mind was hazy but the memories of the boy who did this came back. Her body started to shake as she remembered being pulled back and having been choked nearly to death "Blake, Blake look at me".

Blake did as she was told "where is the prisoner" Blake shook her head "I don't know". Ilia cursed quietly, she didn't understand how one person could do this and escape without anyone noticing "we better tell Adam about this". Blake nodded and had ilia help her to her feet, traveling up the stairs and across the deck drew the eye's the rest of the fang members.

Adam was busy on his scroll talking to the Albani brothers when ilia and Blake entered the room. Adam quickly put his mask on his face before turning to the two that entered his room "please excuse me brother fennic, brother corsac something urgent has come up". Adam hung up the scroll before the albani brothers could object "what happened" he demanded as he helped Blake onto his bed.

Blake seemed out of it slightly so he had her lay down before rounding on ilia "the prisoner escaped, I'm not sure how long ago but I barely found Blake a few minutes ago". Adam gritted his teeth in frustration, this was bad, really bad because they couldn't just go searching the forest for him blindly with the risk of running into the kids allies. "Ilia you'll be heading out there to find the target but I'm afraid you'll have to go alone, we can't afford to be discovered and your the best at stealth besides Blake".

Ilia nodded and made to leave but stopped when Blake's hand grabbed hers "don't go" she pleaded "he's too dangerous to take on alone". "Don't worry about me, no human will ever out do a faunus in the night especially one who can change colors like I can" ilia gave Blake's hand a reassuring squeeze before leaving the room. Adam sat on the corner of the bed near her head and pushed his hand through her hair gently "get some rest Blake, when you wake up she'll be back and we'll head back to mistral together".

Jaune pulled himself out of the water and on to the shore "this day just couldn't get any worse can it" a growl that came from down the beach proved him wrong. Rolling into a kneeling position before pushing himself on his good leg allowed him to get a good look at what he was facing. Three beowolfs, jaune tested his bad leg and winced when he put too much pressure on it.

"One good leg and a tiny knife verses three large beowolfs" he couldn't help but laugh out loud "I guess you would need a handicap to even have a chance against me". The beowolfs charged all at once while jaune lowered his stance "come on" he yelled as the beowolfs descended on him. A vicious grin spread across his face "I couldn't have asked for a better trip" he yelled as he duck under a claw before driving the small knife into the beowolfs eye. Using his good leg to push himself up and onto the beowolfs back, jaune rode the beast like a steed and used the knife that was jabbed into it's eye to Steer it while it thrashed around.

The beowolfs kept their distance from there thrashing brethren until their patients ran out and they charged. Jaune was thrown from the beowolfs back as the beast was toppled over by the other two beowolfs. Now without a weapon he decided it was best to move to plan B, teeth gritted as he ran at full speed through the forest with the beowolfs on his tail. He didn't have a clue where he was going but all he knew was that he wasn't about to be some mutts chew toy.

Ilia hopped from tree to tree until she heard a commotion coming from nearby, following the ruckus led her to her target who was being pursued by three beowolfs. "Guess I should save him before he gets himself killed" she sighed and made to assist but before she could the three beowolfs were shot down by a girl with a submachine gun.

Coco changed her submachine gun back into a carrying case "Guess I'm the first to find you huh"? Jaune leaned against a tree trying to catch his breath "I owe you one Coco" he said before falling over. Coco moved over to check to see if he was ok but jaune had passed out from exhaustion. "Better call this in" Coco opened her scroll and went to call velvet when a blade stabbed into her scroll and knock it out of her hand.

Ilia's blade retracted which revealed her location to Coco "that's are human" she said as she dropped out of the tree and onto the floor. "Well this is gonna be a lot harder than I originally thought" said Coco as she changed her handbag into its submachine gun form once more.

Alright that's where I'm to leave it at for now. I'm hoping to get the next chapter out quicker. I know people are going to comment on Coco's weapon but this is before she finalized her best weapon.
