Jayden was in his private quarters. He had heard that Adam was going to kill another person on the last mission they did with Sienna, but was forced to spare them anyway because of Sienna
Jayden thanked her for that
But, right now, he was concerned on what came next. They've done lots for the Mistral branch of the White Fang, but it was becoming evident that they reached the potential of all they could do here
The next viable option for them to do would be to go and help the Vale branch. But, how would they do that?
Surely, Sienna wouldn't tell Adam to assume command, right? If she did, then she might order the same for Jayden and Yang, only, in different kingdoms
'Maybe, I would become Adam's second in command along with Yang, essentially sharing the leadership between us three.' Jayden thought
While Jayden was in deep thought, a hand was laid on his shoulder. Jayden, using the training that Yang taught him, flipped whoever it was on to the ground and went to punch them in the face... only to stop when he saw it was Adam, holding his hands up as if he was surrendering
"Woah, somethings got you on edge." Adam remarked. Jayden took a deep breath before getting up and extending a hand out to Adam so that he may help him up, which was gladly taken
"I'm sorry, brother. I was lost in thought. Did Sienna tell you what were doing?" Jayden asked
"High leader." Adam corrected
"Come on, Adam. Just tell me." Jayden said, using Adam's actual name
"Yeah, she did. You and I are gonna go with Yang to assume control of the Vale branch in the White Fang." Adam said, confirming Jayden's thoughts from earlier
"Hmm... well, no time like the present then?" Jayden said in a questioning tone of voice while gesturing to the doorway
"Hehe, indeed. Let's get our stuff packed." Adam said, going to walk out but turned around after he seemed to remember something. "Oh, I forgot, but Blake is coming with us too. It'll be like the old days! Just the four of us!" Adam said, throwing his hands into the air before walking off
Jayden chuckled and packed his bags quietly
[Line Break]
"Vale... I never thought I'd come back here." Yang said as she looked out the bullhead window with a sorrowful look on your face
"We never think we'll never do a lot of things." Jayden said as he looked at her. "I never thought I'd actually be here. Helping the faunus gain equality. Honestly, I never thought I'd leave the mines." Jayden told her, every word of what he said being true
"But..." Yang said as she looked over at him before looking back out the window
"Yang, I won't pry into what happened between your family and force you to talk, but you must understand that it's in the past now. Whatever happened happened... and now you're here. You may not have wanted to come back here or just never thought you'd never come back here, but you're here. So, you gonna get choked up by something you can't change? Or are you gonna continue doing what you want to?" Jayden asked her
Jayden saw the tiniest movement of her lips, curling upwards before she chuckled
"You know, I'm glad to have you as a friend, Jayden. I don't know what I would do without you." Yang told him. It was honest and Jayden knew it... somehow
"Yeah, I don't know what I'd do with out you either." Jayden said, turning to look out the window. Out of the corner of his eye, Jayden saw Yang slowly inching closer to him
The bullhead doors opened though, interrupting whatever she was about to do. Jayden walked out and looked around
"Well, time to find Adam and the stray cat, Blake... I never thought I'd ever say that in my life." Jayden said before walking off with Yang following behind
Adam and him went on separate bullheads with Blake and Yang respectively. That way, if security made them out, they wouldn't have the chance of all of them getting caught at once while still having a partner to rely on
Security would also be none the wiser about the other two White Fang members flying into Vale. Of course, they had to wear different clothing and couldn't wear their masks otherwise they'd be made out straight away
All of them still had their original clothing, but like it was stated earlier, they were wearing different clothing. It would be hard to find Adam and Blake without their normal outfits and vise-versa
Thankfully they didn't have to look very far as Adam and Blake were waiting for them. So, it was off to the camp
[Line Break]
Jayden went punch Yang when she ducked underneath the swing. Jayden immediately dodged backward before Yang's fist could hit him in the jaw
Jayden landed and switched his stance so that his left foot was forward and his hands were in front of his face. He kept an eye on Yang's movements for any indication that she might attack
Adam and Blake watched with interest in the background. This was really the first time they got to see Jayden training with Yang. Of course, Adam could see the results of his training as Jayden would switch to using his fists to spar with Adam rather than Bloom and Scatter
Jayden shifted to his left as Yang threw a jab his way, effectively dodging her strike and sending a kick aimed at her stomach so she'd be dazed. Yang put her shin up and blocked the kick before repelling it backward
Jayden barely had the time to process what happened as Yang shoulder checked him into the wall behind him before grabbing his wrist and flipping him over her back
Jayden hit the ground with a loud grunt before Yang straddled him, using her legs to restrain his arms from doing anything
Jayden, who was still dazed from not only getting shoulder checked with the force of a goddamn truck behind it, but also getting slammed onto the ground in such an exotic way, didn't even process what was happening
All he heard was something about Yang asking if he wanted to give up, which he replied yes to. I mean, Jayden does have a pride, but he knows when he's beaten
Thankfully, by the time Yang went to help him off of the floor, he was no longer dazed. His vision was just a little blurry and his head hurt a lot, which is why he was sure he had a concussion
"You ok?" Yang asked as she reached out her hand so that she could help him up
"I'll be fine in a little bit." Jayden said to her as he took her hand. Yang lifted him off of the floor and laid her right hand on his shoulder
"Let me know when you're feeling better, ok?" Yang asked. Jayden nodded in response
"I will." Jayden said before walking off
[Line Break]
It was a few hours later. Jayden's concussion dissipated quite fast thanks to his Aura
He was standing with Yang and Adam around a table. This was the place where they would conceive most of their plans. Right now, there were doing a basic check of their supplies of which there was very little
"We need to find out a way to get more supplies and quick. If we don't, then we'll be forced to go back to Mistral and gather the necessary materials we'll need there." Adam said
"I'm in full agreement, brother. But, how would we do that? We have no idea where the next Schnee supply train will be coming from or even when it's coming." Jayden said, echoing his thoughts
As Adam and Jayden thought of ways to get those supplies, Yang stood there. She looked very anxious at something. Jayden noticed this and spoke out
"What are you so anxious about, Yang?" Jayden asked. Adam looked over at her and noticed the exact same thing as Jayden did
"Well, I know a guy who may be able to get us in contact with someone who can get us supplies." Yang said, rubbing her neck
"Well, who is it?" Adam asked
"... Well, his name's Junior. Last time I was here, I heard that he was in contact with a man named Roman Torchwick." Yang said as Adam's and Jayden's faces dropped. Yang noticed this
"Do you know him?" Yang asked them
"We don't know this Junior, but we do know Roman. It didn't end well when we first met him and every time after that." Jayden answered
"Yeah, it'll be a surprise if he even listens to us." Adam added. Yang looked at both of them before shrugging her shoulders
"It's worth a try, right?" Yang asked
"Well, yeah. I guess. But you're coming with me since Roman would surely kill me if he knew I was looking for him." Jayden said, grabbing Bloom and Scatter
"And what makes you think that he'll be much more open with me around?" Yang asked him
"Nothing, but with you around, hopefully Roman will think twice about trying to kill me." Jayden said before walking out of the tent
"Jeez, you pissed him off that badly?" Yang asked
"Yes. Now, let's get going." Jayden said
"Just one thing before you go, Jayden." Adam called out
"And what would that be?" Jayden asked
"There's someone who wants to go with you. Now, normally, I wouldn't allow this. But, I figured you'd want him to come with." Adam said to Jayden
"Ok, I'll pick him up before we go." Jayden said back
So, Jayden and Yang walked to the exit of the camp. The one that lead towards Vale, of course. Yang still looked anxious and Jayden looked disgusted at the idea of working for Roman
His thoughts consumed him and he nearly missed the person that was supposed to go with them. Thankfully, he didn't
"Jayden!" The man called out. Jayden snapped out of his thoughts at the familiar voice and the very loud shout and looked at whoever it was
He looked over to see an old friend of his, Adam's, and Yang's
"Louis!" Jayden called back and ran toward him. When close enough, Jayden hugged Louis. They separated
"It's been forever, Jay!" Louis said in a very upbeat tone. Jayden chuckled
"That it has, Lou. That it has." Jayden said in a much more softer tone
"It's good to see you, Lou." Yang said to him
"It's good to see you as well, Yang." Lou said back. Jayden let them sit there in a comfortable silence before deciding it was time to go
"As heartwarming as this reunion is, we have business to attend to." Jayden said, walking away
Jayden not was looking forward to it though
[Line Break]
Jayden looked at Yang as they were nearing the club Junior was at. He had to admit, he was curious about her past. But, he understood. Understood that she would tell him everything when she wanted too. Not when he wanted her too
Jayden looked at Lou. It had been a while since they last saw each other. Since they had even talked to each other. Lou was a great friend... and a greater person
Jayden still remembered when he first met Lou. When he saved Lou's life
[Flashback, about 4 years ago]
Jayden ducked behind cover as bullets flew his way and whizzed by his head. Jayden wasn't expecting men to bust through their doors, guns blazing
Jayden was with a squad of grunts. That was it. No back up whatsoever. Jayden would have to single-handedly push back these attackers
Thankfully, he had Bloom and Scatter
Jayden snuck around the battlefield and was to right side of the leader. Jayden flipped out of cover and fired Bloom at him
Bloom's pommel hit the leader in the face. Jayden rushed to grab Bloom and did a giant sweep with his semblance and the blunt side of Bloom. It knocked down a few people behind the leader
Jayden immediately started to absorb shots from all around him. A woman ran at Jayden, a machete held in her hand as she was clearly aiming to kill. Jayden spun around and hooked the blade of Bloom right under the hand guard before jerking up as hard as he could, effectively disarming her
Jayden deflected a shotgun slug as he turned around. If was at this time that the grunts around him started to join him in fighting them. They raised their weapons and charged their enemy
Jayden noticed this and moved to cover the ones with close range weapons from any gunfire. Jayden noticed that the enemy was pushing up as well and saw two options
One, he would call for retreat and let the raiders have the supplies in this warehouse
Or two, Jayden could get up close and personal and give them a distraction
While the first had a better chance of Jayden surviving, they'd lose valuable resources. So, he figured they had no option. Besides, his men had a better chance of living if he did that
Jayden seemed to teleport as he left a rush of wind following behind him as he rushed the enemies. Jayden spartan kicked one into the wall behind him before spinning and shooting a non-lethal round in someone's face with Scatter
A grunt looked around with a sword in his hands. He was going to go support Jayden before his sword got shot out of his hand. The grunt got behind cover, making many unnecessary movements that made it obvious that he was very panicked
The grunt saw a chair leg nearby and grabbed it. The grunt made a noise as he brought it close to his body, making it known that it was a man. He looked around and lifted his head over the cover
He looked at Jayden, who was dispatching waves of troops. More and more were getting thrown at him. But, Jayden didn't seem to mind as he never lost his rhythm and pacing. The grunt seemed starstruck at this sight
However, he was soon brought out of his splendor when he noticed that a man was making his way behind Jayden and was planning on killing him. The grunt rushed out from cover, against the shouting of his fellow comrades
He ran at the person and swung the chair leg as hard as he could in the face. The man went down, but was only dazed and nog affected in anyway. So, the grunt kept swinging and hitting him
Jayden turned around and noticed the grunt with the chair leg standing over man. His eyes, which were underneath a grimm mask, then turned to two people. One, a woman, raised their revolver and Jayden noticed the red dust rounds in the gun that would explode on contact
He then noted how they were looking at that same grunt. The woman aimed at that grunt before the man standing next to her, holding a machete, put it down and threw the machete at the grunt
The grunt didn't know that he was currently staring at the face of death. Jayden, however, did and shot Bloom out of Scatter in the machete's path. Bloom hit the machete out if the air halfway to it's target, making a loud ping
The grunt looked back to see that the machete flying his way was knocked of it's path and stood there eyes wide at how easily he could've died
Jayden rushed to the location of where Bloom was and grabbed it. He sheathed it and turned around to absorb an explosive shot from the woman, causing the surrounding area to become covered with dust
All the grunts looked on in shock as they thought they're leader was dead. The humans... they started to laugh
"Hahaha! Look at the sheer stupidity of that faunus!" One of them said, a woman by the sound of her voice
"Hehe, sacrificed himself so he could save one measly animal. Idiot." A man said
The one grunt that was behind Jayden fell down to the floor, believing this was his fault. He listened to them laugh as he sat there in sorrow before he heard something else
A faint rumble in the air. A ringing that seemed to catch everyone's attention. Waves of energy started to radiate from the smoke. As the smoke dissipated, it became very apparent that Jayden was, indeed, not dead
The smoke cleared and ever inch of red on his body was glowing very vividly. From the banner on his waist to Bloom and to his hair, he seemed to light up the room as the humans stared in shock
Jayden sheathed Bloom and crouched down with his hand on Bloom. The humans, being very stupid, rushed Jayden
Jayden figured that if they were willing to kill everyone in this warehouse, then he shouldn't hold back
So, Jayden didn't
Jayden unleashed the full power of his semblance, letting all the bodies if the humans turn to wilting roses. The fear engrained on their faces before they faded away
Jayden always hated doing that to people, but they would've killed nearly everyone had he not taken a life himself
He hated to say it. But, sometimes, the only way to save a life was to take one
Jayden turned to look at the grunt who's life he saved. He saw him staring at him in shock. Jayden walked up to the grunt
"What's you're name?" Jayden asked him
"My name?" The man repeated
"Yes, you're name. What is it?" Jayden asked, again
"It's Louis, sir. Louis Grey." The newly named Louis said to him
"It's nice to meet you, Louis. Call me Jayden." Jayden said to Louis
"Uh... Ok." Louis said with an uncertainty. Jayden looked down to see a chair leg in his hand and chuckled
"You weren't to bad with that leg of yours." Jayden told him
"Thanks sir." Louis said
"Remember, it's Jayden. Not sir." Jayden reminded him
"... Ok." Louis said in response
"I'm gonna need a nickname for you though. Hmm... how about... Lou?" Jayden asked after a few pauses
"Sounds good. But, if I have to be called Lou, I'm gonna call you Jay." Lou said
"That's fine with me." Jayden said, smiling before he remembered something. "You know, you might get a promotion since you helped me." Jayden suggested and Lou's face lit up
"Really?" He asked with excitement
"Yeah! Come on. Let's go get you patched up." Jayden said, pointing to the gunshot wound in his leg
"Ok... Jay."
[Flashback end]
Jayden snapped himself out of his thoughts when he noticed that they were in front of the club. Jayden felt nervous upon seeing it
"Jay, what's wrong?" Lou asked
"Nothing. Just... I don't know. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to go to this club." Jayden answered. Yang turned around and put a hand on Jayden's shoulder
"Well, good idea or not, this was our only option." Yang said before removing her hand and walking into the club with Lou
"Yeah, I suppose so." Jayden said as he stood there. After a second or two, he followed them
When he saw the club, he had to admit that he was impressed. Junior obviously put a lot of work into the club
'More than a lot.' Jayden thought as he walked to the bar with Yang and Lou
Yang leaned on the counter and looked at the bartender. He looked back at her. Jayden noticed the shotgun underneath the counter because of the mirror behind him
Jayden bumped Lou and pointed at the mirror and gave the hand sign to let him know to be wary. Lou nodded
"Can I get a strawberry sunrise? No ice. Oh! And one of those little umbrellas." Yang said. The bartender nodded and looked at Jayden
"... Oh! A root beer, please?" The bartender nodded at Jayden and looked at Lou
"Give me a water. We had a long walk over here." Lou joked with a smile. The bartender nodded anyway and got their drinks. Or, in the case of Yang, made a drink
When Jayden paid for their drinks, the bartender delivered their drinks. Then, he went through a door that was to the right of Jayden
"Just a heads up, he's probably gonna get Junior. And he's probably not gonna be happy to see me." Yang said as she drank her strawberry sunrise
"Why's that, huh? Did ya grab him by the balls or something?" Lou joked. Jayden nearly spit the drink he'd taken and started to choke
"Well, that and I may or may not have... trashed the club." Yang said rubbing her neck with a nervous smile
"What?! I was joking when I said that! Why'd you do that?!" Lou yelled
"I was a different person 3 years ago, okay?! I'm not as calm as I am now! He wouldn't give me info on my mom so I got very angry!" Yang said
"Angry, is putting it lightly." A man said that brought their attention back to the bar. They noticed an extremely tall man in a suit and tie
"You must be Junior." Jayden said like it was a fact
"I am." Junior confirmed before looking at Yang. "What are you doing here, blondie? I thought you said you were never coming back to Vale." Junior asked
"Well, you remember how you said mercenary work would suit me? I started doing mercenary work and was eventually recruiting by the White Fang. Which who they work for." Yang said, pointing to Lou and Jayden
"The White Fang? I thought they hated humans." Junior said
"We don't. But, we don't let humans join our cause. But, when we hired Yang, we needed the extra firepower. We don't now, but Yang is friends with a lot of people in the White Fang, myself included. So, we decided to keep her. To boost morale and keep an amazing fighter." Jayden said
"... You're Jayden Taurus. Brother to Adam Taurus." Junior said after a close look at Jayden, who was shocked
"Don't looked so surprised. You two are all over the news and I'm an info broker. What'd you'd expect?" Junior asked
"Let's calm down before we do something we regret." Lou said, extending his hands
"That opportunity passed when you brought blondie in here. Get out of here before I have to make you get out." Junior said as many of his henchmen surrounded the trio
"Just hear us out. We have no quarrel with you. I only need to get in contact with Torchwick." Jayden said, putting his hands up to let Junior know he wasn't gonna harm him
"No. If he'd even say yes to coming here, he'd never listen to you. And we do have quarrel. We had a quarrel when you called yourself a friend of blondie." Junior said. Jayden threw his hands in the air
"Welp, I tried."
"What are you idiots doing?! Escort them out!" Junior ordered
Jayden, Yang, and Lou began to walk with them when a song came on
(Start playing: Born This Way, Thousand Foot Krutch)
Jayden let them lead his trio to the dance floor before he signaled them to stop. Yang and Lou stopped with Jayden
"Hey! Get moving!" A henchman shouted
Jayden smirked and whistled. Yang and Lou brought out their weapons. Yang activating her gauntlets while Lou pulled out a chair leg with what seemed to be a barrel in it with nails on one end of it
Jayden grabbed the hilt of Bloom, which was still sheathed in Scatter. The henchmen pulled out their weapons as well
They stood at a stand still for a second or two before Jayden chuckled and charged
Jayden sliced diagonally to the left or a henchman so that he would get hit in the face and get knocked back. Jayden turned and kicked someone behind him in the face
Yang rolled out of the way of a swung before parrying a strike from another and punched him into the air before sending him flying across the dance floor
Lou parried a strike into the ground before swinging his chair leg in an upward arc that, upon hitting the henchman, knocked the man off his feet. Lou started to watch his opponents for any openings
Jayden shot Bloom out of Scatter. Bloom hit a henchman in the face before spinning up into the air. Jayden dodged a swing by doing a handspring backward toward his blade. Jayden turned and ran towards the man he hit in the face with Bloom and jumped off of him, using Scatter to get a bigger boost. Jayden kicked Bloom at a henchman, which knocked him to the floor
Jayden landed and grabbed Bloom from off the ground before sheathing said blade. Jayden felt his back touch someone else's. He felt whoever it was heat up and immediately recognized it as Yang's semblance
Jayden, knowing he was safe from his flank, fired Bloom out of Scatter again. This time, Bloom came flying back at him when it hit somebody in the face. Jayden rushed to the person he hit and did a sweep that hit everyone near him
Yang tripped someone before putting her hands into a x to prevent an axe head from hitting her. Yang pushed her hands upward before spartan kicking the man in front of her across the floor
Yang parried a machete swing and punched the man in the face before using her gauntlets to launch herself backward and kick someone in the face. She turned and punched someone in face again before kneeing them and throwing a left cross into the mans face, which immediately sent him sprawling onto the ground
Lou parried a strike upward before using his chair leg to bat him off to his left side. Lou spun and slammed his chair leg into another henchman, who was sent flying. Lou spun his chair leg around and started to fire bullets out of the other end. They stopped a good dozen of henchmen from coming up to him as they were knocked out on impact
Lou shouldered his chair leg and built up momentum by spinning before slamming his chair leg into the floor, causing all surrounding henchmen to fall to the ground
Jayden and Yang regrouped with Lou and stood in a triangle
"So, wanna give up?" Jayden asked
"No!" A henchman shouted before he and his allies charged
Jayden rolled his eyes before he ducked, letting Lou knock them out with one swing
(Stop playing: Born This Way, Thousand Foot Krutch)
Jayden sheathed Bloom and went to walk up to Junior
"Hmm, that was one hell of a dance." Lou remarked with a smile on his face
"Really? We just fought what essentially is a battle and you're making jokes?" Yang asked
"Well, yes. Yes I am." Lou said with a smirk
Jayden was about to dash the rest if the distance to Junior when two women dropped down in front of him. Jayden immediately crouched back down into his stance
"You have three seconds to get out of my way before I make you." Jayden threatened. The women got into their stances when Junior cut them off
"Let him pass. We don't want a repeat of last time." Junior said as he put a hand to his forehead. Jayden walked up to him, a glare engraved onto his face
"You've pissed me off. Now, if I were my brother, I would order you to get me in contact with Roman. But, I don't like to do things that way unless I'm forced too. So, I'm gonna ask one last time. Will you get me in contact with Torchwick?" Jayden spat out
"Sure. If it means you won't trash my club, then I will. Give me a second." Junior said before going back to his office
Jayden grabbed his drink, which miraculously survived the fight that ensued shortly after it was given to him, and took a huge drink out of it before slamming it back down onto the counter
A few minutes later, Junior walked out
"He's willing to at least meet with you. Go to this address in a few hours. You'll find him there." Junior said, handing Jayden a small slip of paper
Jayden looked at it before starting to walk off. He stopped for a second however
"I would say it was a pleasure doing business with ya. But, frankly, it wasn't. So, instead, I'll say auf wiedersehen." Jayden said as he gave a two-fingered salute and walked off with Yang and Lou
Hope y'all enjoyed this chapter! Took a while, but it's at least decently big. Hope y'all enjoyed the twist of Jayden getting Roman's help far sooner than in the show as well as having more of Yang's backstory revealed
Another thing, Louis Grey isn't my OC. He belongs to Before_hours_Writing on Wattpad.
Love ya and see ya later
