Distortion

It had been a couple weeks since Raven and Jaune had their informants become more active. They heard nothing from either yet but that was fine. They'd rather have their jobs done correctly, rather than a rush job and lose out on potential gains. The two were staying in the mountains and forests of Vale for that time. Their presence in Mistral and Vacuo would just add unnecessary stress to their informants during this crucial point in their plans. Atlas was still on high alert for them after they liberated a lot of sensitive materials and tech form them. And as much as they loved Menagerie, them not being Faunus would just add more problems than necessary. Vale was the most strategic place to stay at this point in time.

They camped out mostly but neither really minded. They had little to fear and the Grimm were just nuisances. They stayed in one or two of the local towns or villages if they could. How else were they supposed to leave bread crumbs for Ozpin? Jaune was curious what the Headmaster would do with that information. So far, nothing had happened but Jaune could be patient.

Jaune and Raven were standing on a hill and were looking down at the village they were just at. Or at least, the ruins of it. Buildings were on fire and Grimm were tearing it apart. They could hear people fighting and other's screaming. The two hoped to stay there for the night and leave another tidbit of info for Ozpin to find. That was until Raven was recognized by the Captain of the Guard there. Which lead to the scene in front of them. Jaune just turned to Raven, "That was not my fault."

She just looked at him with a glare. "What would you call beheading the Captain of the Guard, causing a panic and attracting Grimm?"

Jaune shrugged, "The asshole wanted to start problems. I decided to give him what he wanted." He then looked back down at the destruction. "Maybe this'll be a big enough clue for him." Raven just shrugged and put her mask on before walking away. Jaune looked for a few more seconds before speaking, "The weak die. The strong live." He placed his mask on and pulled up his hood before walking after his wife.

The two were walking for a few hours in the forest near Vale. They liked the relative peace and the weather was perfect, camping out shouldn't be bad that night. Jaune stopped walking for a second before he kept moving with a smirk under his mask. He just felt five different auras and they were all familiar. They were following them and were close by. "Looks like Ozpin made his move." Jaune said just above a whisper.

Raven nodded, "Good. We'll head to the nearest clearing before engaging."

"You'll take the threat. I'll deal with the other four." Jaune said.

Raven glanced at him through her mask, "Confident, aren't you?"

"Absolutely." Jaune said before getting serious. "Ozpin had his warning and he disregarded it. Time to show him I'm not just talk. I will no longer have to hold back."

"Any of them worth anything?" Raven asked.

"Besides your target?" Jaune asked and Raven nodded. "Not really. None of them have anything worth taking. But, one may be helpful later." Raven turned back to see where she was going and the two fell into a silence. Jaune used the time to think. 'May have to use my real abilities against them.' He smirked. 'Should be fun.' His mind then trailed back to his training.

It had been a few more weeks since Jaune was able to call on, what they referred to, his Negative Aura. It wasn't nearly as huge as his regular aura but it was much more potent. But because of it, he could up his strength training and started to work on his speed and agility as well. He kept up his hand-to-hand and sword training as well. Without his wounds holding him back and him able to heal quicker now, he was progressing very quickly. He was now able to beat the weaker members effortlessly and he had learned their fighting styles. He started to apply what he learned and was starting to develop his own fighting style. He was now working on the intermediate ones as well as learning the basic to firearms, as requested by himself.

Raven also had him start aura training and to try to get him discover his Semblance. They both had a good idea on what it could be but they wanted to be sure. He was understanding it fairly well and he was beginning to slowly master the basics. He could now send his aura to any place on his body reflexively. But there was an anomaly. After every one of his aura lessons, his aura would be a lot lower then when he started, even though he would be exerting very little aura during said lessons.

Aside from that, Jaune seemed to be getting along well with the members of the tribe. He had a way to lightened the mood around him. They felt a kinship with him and Jaune was starting to view them as comrades, maybe even friends. Every member of the tribe was different from the 'normal' people around them, that's why they congregated together. But they were all impressed that Jaune actually forged transcripts to sneak into Beacon and succeeded. That earned him respect. Although, there were a few that didn't like him and were convinced he would just either die or get one of them killed. Those were the opinions of the more seasoned members and they were always harder to impress.

After his aura lessons, Jaune went out to a nearby clearing with his sword. Actually, the sword wasn't his, it was just a random sword the clan had lying around. But that didn't bother him, he was here to train and grow stronger. He didn't need anything fancy. It was a simple broadsword, the entire thing was black but that just made it appeal to Jaune more, for whatever reason. He stood with his sword ready and a few minutes later, a few weaker Beowolves showed up. They growled at him and had their teeth bared. Jaune got into his fighting stance before charging at the Grimm.

He quickly cut off the lower jaw of the Beowolf in front of him before he kicked off its chest. He landed in a crouch and the Beowolf to his right pounce. Jaune brought his sword up and impaled it through the chest before spinning his body and throwing the Grimm off the blade. He quickly met the third Grimm in a charge. He dodged the beast's claws before stabbing it in the opposite shoulder. As the blade got stuck, Jaune flipped over the Grimm, tearing the blade through and removing the entire arm as he landed back on his feet, behind it. He then spun and decapitated the Beowolf. As it fell he turned to face the first Beowolf. It was still standing but could no longer bite. It charged at Jaune in a blind fury. Jaune lowered his stance and waited. As it was nearly on him, he kicked off the ground and sliced the Grimm in half.

After that, Jaune took a breather. This was a regular thing now. He had found out his Negative Aura attracted Grimm. He figured out that it was fueled by negative emotions, so it made a lot of sense. He accepted it and decided to use it to improve himself further. Because of three weeks of fighting Grimm regularly, he held no more fear for Grimm. They wanted him dead because that was their nature. So, he had to either kill them or die. Death was not an option, if he wanted to be strong he had to live. And to live, one needed to be strong. As Raven had told him before and what had become his mantra, "The weak die. The strong live." He said out loud.

Jaune heard another growl and turned to see an older Beowolf step into the clearing. It wasn't an Alpha but it was definitely more experienced than the ones he just killed. Jaune adopted his fighting stance again and the Beowolf growled slightly. The two charged and when they met in the middle of the clearing, claws and the sword were clashing repeatedly. Neither gave an inch and soon, Jaune was holding back the claws of the Grimm with his sword. The Beowolf took the opportunity to lunge forward, intending to bite into Jaune's shoulder and neck. Jaune instinctively, sent aura into the shoulder and as his shoulder had a black flame like appearance, the Grimm bit down. At that moment, the Grimm's jaws were snapped open and the jaw of the Grimm was broken. Jaune took this chance to take his left hand away from his blade. He sent his aura into his palm and it gained the same black flame appearance. He slammed it into the beast's chest and it was sent flying into a tree several feet away. It fell and slowly began to rise. Jaune sent aura into his legs and shot forward and impaled it through the throat. It gave a gurgling cry before it was dead.

Jaune stepped back and was relaxing until he heard another sound and spun around to look at that part of the clearing. Out stepped Raven, not wearing her mask because she didn't usually wear it within the camp. Jaune relaxed again and stood tall, "Careful, I almost attacked you." He said with a grin.

She had one of her own, "And you would've lost."

"True." Jaune stated before he wiped the sweat from his forehead. "How long were you there?"

"From the beginning." She walked into the clearing more. "Must you always do this? Or is my training not enough for you?"

Jaune shook his head. "It's good against people but I need to train against Grimm too. Besides, if I die to them then there's little point to this training."

Raven nodded, "Point taken. So, how's this 'Negative Aura' going?"

Jaune thought for a second. "It's the same as usual. Dark, cold and heavy but I don't mind it anymore. But, you wanna know if I figured out why it gets weaker after aura training, right?" Raven nodded and Jaune sighed, "I have a theory. Opposites attract. My aura is Negative now and everyone here is Positive, right?" Raven nodded. "Then I would believe that my negative aura is attracted to the positive aura's around me and is being absorbed."

Raven's eyes went wide. "Are you sure?"

Jaune nodded. "Would explain why everyone I fight has their aura last a lot longer. I believe they are absorbing it in close proximity. That's why my aura didn't return for so long, it kept being absorbed. And during our aura training, it is being absorbed more because we are both using our auras more than when I spar."

Raven was thinking this over and nodded. "That does make sense. So, how are you going to rectify this. You're not going to be able to do much if your aura keeps being absorbed."

"The only thing I can do is keep training my aura. Once I have complete control, I'll be able to stop it. That's why my reserves are getting stronger, my improved control over my Aura is starting to stop the pull from the aura's around me."

"That does seem logical. But wouldn't it be preferable to just use your regular aura? I know you can still use it." Raven ventured.

"No." Jaune said with full conviction. "I'm going to use my Negative Aura from now on." Raven was about to ask but he stopped her. "My aura was unlocked by Pyrrha. Using that to get stronger is like giving credit to her, relying on her." His words were filled with venom when he said the last words. "I unlocked my Negative Aura on my own, it's a power I discovered on my own. I will use my own power to grow stronger. Not something from any of them. I don't need pity." The pain and anger for those seven rose to the surface again and as it did, his Negative Aura grew stronger.

Jaune and Raven made it to the clearing they were venturing to. They stopped towards the center and Jaune felt the five people stop a decent distance from the tree line to stay hidden. Jaune took a breath before he spoke, "I suggest you five come out. I know you are there and have been following us." After a few seconds, the five people stepped forward, Goodwitch and Team CFVY. Jaune smirked under his mask. "So, Ozpin sent you, huh? Makes sense."

Velvet took a half-step forward, "Jaune? Is that really you?" she asked.

Jaune hesitated for a second before he reached up to his mask and took it off, revealing his face to them. He smiled, "Yeah. It's me, Vel."

Velvet brought her hand to her mouth in shock. Her team was on mission when Jaune returned and they were told all about it when they returned. She was hoping they were wrong, as crazy as that sounded. Jaune became one of her few true friends and she had developed a crush on him over time. She didn't want him to be like this. She felt Yatsuhashi place his hand on her shoulder but she felt no comfort from it. Goodwitch stepped in front of all of them. "Mr. Arc- " she was cut off when they heard the gunshot and the bullet fly past her head before hitting the tree behind her.

Jaune had drawn Souffrance Eternelle and fired as soon as he heard his old name. He stared at Goodwitch with restrained anger. "I am not Jaune Arc. I am Jaune Branwen, get it straight or the next one goes in your eye." He then holstered his gun but that didn't do anything to make them less worried. He just demonstrated how quickly he could draw and fire, it was terrifying.

Goodwitch pushed her glasses into place, "Fine. Mr. Branwen, you are coming with us."

Jaune snorted with that. "Not happening. I don't listen to you anymore. Besides, what did I do that was so wrong?" he asked with mock curiosity.

"What you did to Team CRDL is more than enough." She said with an edge.

"Oh yes, destroying a Team of would be Huntsmen, that would've used their position to do whatever they wanted. Throw the cuffs on me and take me away." He said sarcastically. Goodwitch growled with that. Jaune just ignored her and turned to CFVY. "I'm surprised you're here. You all hated CRDL, I thought you'd be happy with them getting what they deserved."

"They deserved a lot, but not that." Coco said.

"You see that's what people say when they aren't willing to do what is needed to be done." Jaune said as he looked at Coco.

"And your personal feelings had nothing to do with it?" Yatsuhashi added.

Jaune smirked more with that, "I never said that." He chuckled. "That was some real fun. Making those bastards suffer." He sighed before he grew serious. "Enough of that. Because I don't have any negative feelings against you four." His eyes trailed over CFVY but his eyes lingered on Velvet for a second longer. "I'll give you this chance to leave. That's your only chance."

They all stood resolute and Goodwitch spoke again, "We aren't leaving, Mr. Branwen."

Jaune sighed, "I hate repeating myself." He then flung his hand out as it was covered in his black aura. Goodwitch was covered in the same aura before she was sent flying into the forest, crashing through a tree or two. CFVY was shocked and turned back to Jaune. He was grinning. "I said those four, you weren't leaving, Professor."

Raven took off after Goodwitch with her aura after that. CFVY was about to go after her until Jaune landed between them and Raven. "Last chance." Was all he said before he put his mask on. "Otherwise, your dead." His voice took on an edge with that and they knew he was serious.

Fox shot forward and began his usual flurry of blows. Jaune drew Tourmentage Tordu and was deflecting every hit. The shape of the blade was sending vibrations up Fox's arms but that didn't stop him. Yatsuhashi came in shortly after with an overhead swing with his greatsword. Jaune quickly kicked off Fox's arms to send him backwards as the sword came down, missing him. Jaune landed before shooting forward with his aura. He was then fighting against the FY of CFVY. He was stopping Fox's furry of blows with his sword while he was deflecting Yatsuhashi sword, he could block his sword but it would cost too much stamina to do so. Jaune started to mix in his own hand-to-hand with his swordplay. He would hit them with elbows, knees, kicks and punches to strike weakened areas in their defenses. The entire time, he was slowly siphoning their auras, replenishing any aura he used.

Coco, meanwhile, had her minigun trained on Jaune the entire time but she had no shot. Jaune kept himself too close to her teammates and anytime they created space, he would close it. Whether that was on purpose of not, she wasn't sure. She condensed her minigun back into her bag before turning to Velvet, "I need to reposition. Get in there and give the boys a hand." Velvet stared at her before she resolved herself and nodded. She ran towards the fray. Coco took off to the side to try to get a better angle.

Jaune looked to see Velvet and Coco moving. 'So much as using these two as shields.' He thought to himself. He then saw Velvet create a copy of Crescent Rose and he knew he had to move. He delivered an aura powered fist to Fox's solar plexus. Fox kneeled over from having the air knocked out of him, Jaune jumped onto his back before kicking off him towards the giant and sending him to the floor. Jaune sheathed his sword and landed on Yatsuhashi's sword as he brought it up to defend himself. Jaune kicked off him and into the air. He flipped, drawing Sommeil Eternel and its twin, before firing all his bullets into Yatsuhashi. His sword stopped a few but few more made it past his defenses.

Jaune landed and quickly reloaded his revolvers with two speed loaders he had on his belt. He looked back up to see Velvet on him with her copy of the giant scythe. Jaune had no choice but to fall to the ground as Velvet swung, otherwise it would've struck his chest. Jaune spun on his left shoulder and fired a shot from Sommeil Eternel into the back of her leg, halfway up her shin. Eternel Sommeil had more bullet penetration but its firing speed was lowered from it. The bullet hit her leg but didn't break her aura. The bullet still stopped her from attacking and she fell to the ground in pain.

Jaune jumped back to his feet and heard a familiar revving sound. He turned in time to see he was in Coco's sights. He quickly holstered Souffrance Eternelle and ran towards the two male members of her team as she started to fire. The bullets were hitting the ground behind him and were gaining quickly. Jaune started to slide towards them and quickly used his borrowed Telekinesis to pull Fox towards him. Fox was yanked towards Jaune but before he could figure out what to do, Jaune wrapped his left arm around his neck and placed his revolver against the side of his head before turning them so Coco would have to fire through him to get to Jaune. Coco quickly stopped firing and Jaune smiled at that. Jaune charged aura into the bullet and pointed it towards her before firing. The bullet impacted the ground and exploded, sending Coco backwards.

Jaune had absorbed more of Fox's aura and the blind man was now sitting at two-thirds aura. He would've just absorbed the last of it but he didn't have the chance with the other two member's charging at him. He spun and kicked Fox in the ribs, sending him into Velvet and the two collapsed in a pile. He then charged at Yatsuhashi again. He holstered Sommeil Eternel before drawing his sword again and Souffrance Eternelle. Souffrance had a faster fire speed but lower bullet penetration. Jaune quickly fired three shots as he charged towards the giant. Yatsuhashi blocked the shots and Jaune used this chance to jump into the air, after holstering his gun. Jaune was about to deliver a two-handed strike to Yatsuhashi's dominate shoulder when an explosion caught his back. He was thrown through the air and landed in a heap. He looked up to see that Velvet and Fox were standing again, with Velvet having a copy of Magnhild.

Jaune got back to his feet and saw Yatsuhashi coming down with his own two-handed swing. Jaune brought up his blade to stop it and applied the last of his Telekinesis behind it to tank the hit. A huge crater was formed under them and both swordsmen's arms were shaking. Jaune felt the last of his borrowed Semblance fade away, 'So much for that.' He thought bitterly. He heard a noise and turned to see Fox had landed in the crater and was running towards him. Yatsuhashi had him pinned and he couldn't move. Jaune reached behind his back with his left hand and grabbed the bottom of his sheathe. He pulled it from his back and smacked Fox across the face with it, sending him sprawling to the ground. Jaune used the sheathe to cross with his sword to get better leverage and throw Yatsuhashi off him.

Jaune got a better grip on his sheathe and started to use it in conjunction with his sword to deal with Fox and Yatsuhashi. The whole time, he was absorbing more aura from the two until his aura was maxed out and he couldn't absorb anymore. At that time, he had to start dodging more weapons from Velvet, who had a copy of Penny Polendina's swords and was sending them into the crater. Jaune was being pushed back by the three-front battle and decided to reveal another part of his arsenal. He flipped his sheathe over his wrist and it magnetically clicked with his vambracer. It then folded out to form a black kite shield with a red edge, a half a size bigger then Crocea Mors. He used it to deflect the next volley of swords before shield bashing Fox and delivering a roundhouse kick to Yatsuhashi. He then jumped out of the crater and jumped back to gain some distance. He saw Coco standing up and firing on him again but he quickly used his shield to stop it. Coco stopped when she realized she wasn't doing anything. "The intel said nothing about you having a shield." She said out loud.

Jaune lowered his shield slightly and chuckled, "That's because I didn't need it against CRDL. I usually let my aura tank my damage while I fight but on the occasions where I can't afford to do so, I use this. This is Désespoir."

"Good to know." Coco nodded. "Now!" she shouted. Fox charged him at extreme speeds and Jaune quickly parried his attacks with his blade. Fox locked Tourmentage Tordu with his arm blade as Yatsuhashi was on his other side with a downward swing. Jaune stopped it with Désespoir but he was now a sitting duck. He looked forward to see Coco about to fire on him and he peeked over his shoulder to see Velvet charging a laser with her swords. 'No choice.' He thought and closed his eyes, soon his body was covered with his aura, giving him the appearance of being engulfed in black flames. The females of CFVY fired and Jaune opened his eyes and screamed. The aura erupted from him and sent the males of CFVY flying away. The bullets and laser hit the aura as it continued outwards, the bullets were sent flying in random directions and the laser was just being pushed back. A few of Coco's bullets rebounded at her and she quickly stopped firing. Velvet stopped because she was using too much aura to continue the attack.

The aura soon stopped and faded away, leaving Jaune standing in the center of it. He popped his neck before he sighed, "Haven't used that in a while, congratulations on forcing me to."

The members of CFVY were soon standing on shaky legs and Jaune started to sense their aura levels. Fox was at a quarter, Yatsuhashi was at a third, Coco was at half and Velvet was at two-thirds. Meanwhile his own was at three-quarters. "What was that?" Velvet asked in shock.

Jaune turned to her, "My Semblance." They all looked shock by this. "My Semblance allows anything that exerts a force onto my aura, to be hit with a force twice as strong as it, at minimum. It's a handy defensive Semblance and that maneuver I used is my ultimate defense, although it does use a lot of aura. But I've figures out ways to weaponize it. Like that explosive bullet I used on you Coco." He smirked at her shock face. "My Semblance is known as Distortion."

"But we were told your Semblance was Aura Siphoning or Semblance Stealing." Velvet said in shock.

Jaune shrugged, "I never said that and those details are classified." Before any of them could react, Jaune shot off towards Fox with his aura. He charged his Semblance into his right hand as he was holding his sword, his fist gaining that black flame appearance, and hit Fox in the stomach. He was sent flying and he smashed into two trees, that collapsed onto him and pinned him there. His aura was shattered and he laid there unconscious.

Jaune turned and ran towards Yatsuhashi. The giant went for a horizontal swing but Jaune slid under it and hit him in the stomach with the pointed end of his shield. He then slashed left across his stomach with it, the edges of Désespoir were sharpened so he could use it offensively as well as defensively. He followed this up with an upward swing with his sword across his chest. His aura broke and Jaune swung down, leaving a cut across his chest diagonally. Yatsuhashi collapsed afterwards.

Coco released her whole payload against Jaune with that. Jaune charged towards her with his shield blocking the bullets. He sent his aura and Semblance into it, the result was the bullets were being reflected at Coco, instead of random directions. Coco stopped firing and used her minigun to protect herself. Jaune jumped into the air and landed on the barrel, which shoved it into the ground. Jaune then kicked her in the chest and sent her skidding backwards without her weapon. Jaune then shot after her and kneed her in the stomach. She was lifted off the ground and the air was knocked out of her. He followed up with an elbow to her back, driving her into the ground. Her aura was about to break and to finish it, Jaune stomped down on the back of her knee; breaking it and her aura. She cried out in pain before she passed out.

Jaune turned to Velvet who now had a version of Coco's minigun. Jaune noticed she had a conflicted look on her face and that she was favoring the leg he shot earlier. He started to charge her and she was about to open fire but Jaune moved his sword to his left hand and drew Sommeil Eternel before firing into her other leg. Velvet screamed in pain and collapsed to her knees, her weapon disappeared with the loss of her concentration. She looked back up and Jaune was standing there with his sword at her throat. She stared at him in fear, believing she was going to die and by her crush no less.

Jaune just looked at her and growled slightly. He collapsed Désespoir into its sheathe form before sheathing Tourmentage Tordu and placed it on his back. He reached his hand out as it started to glow black with his aura but not his Semblance. Her brown aura came to the surface and was slowly being absorbed by Jaune. Her aura was in the red when Jaune was back at full. He lowered his hand and Velvet just stared up at him in shock. She froze when he spoke, "I recommend you call for your bullhead. Your team will survive but they'll need medical attention." He started to walk away and Velvet just stared at him.

Jaune walked to the other edge of the clearing and stopped. A minute or so later, Goodwitch was dropped beside him by his wife. Goodwitch's clothes were ripped and cut. She had a few shallow cuts and bruises. Her hair was disheveled, along with her glasses being cracked. He then turned to his wife, who had barely a scratch on her, "Looks like you had little difficulty." He smiled.

Raven just tilted her head, "Was there any doubt?"

Jaune just shook his head and knelt beside Goodwitch, "Just one last thing to do." He took her scroll off her and dialed Ozpin for a video call.

Ozpin soon picked up, "Glynda, how was the mission?" He stopped when he saw the mask face looking back at him. "Mr. Arc?"

Jaune growled again, "Branwen, Ozpin. And yes, it is."

"What happened to Glynda and my students?" he asked with an edge.

Jaune just continued on, "Your students are fine but will need medical attention. Glynda on the other hand," he stopped and angled the scroll to show her. "Isn't doing so great."

"Jaune." He said in a calming tone. "You don't have to do this. You ended up this way because of me and my choices. Don't punish her for my mistakes." He pleaded.

Jaune chuckled and pointed his scroll back to his masked face, "How wrong you are. I'm like this because of me, Ozpin. I chose to leave Beacon, to join and train under Raven. To join her clan, marry her and to fulfill our goal. I chose to become Jaune Branwen and I regret nothing." He handed the scroll to Raven with that and she started to record what would happen next. "And I warned you what would happen if you sent people after us and now, you'll see what I can really do." Jaune knelt beside Goodwitch and channeled aura into his right hand. He then placed it onto her chest and sent his Negative Aura into her.

Goodwitch's eyes flew open and she screamed out in extreme agony. It felt like ice and fire were being forced into her body. It traveled throughout her chest in a fast but meticulous way, covering all her chest in seconds. Any aura she had was snuffed out by it and she could feel this darker energy traveling through it to its source. When it met her pool of aura, her soul, it surrounded it and the pain she was feeling was amplified more than she could describe. The energy started to penetrate her soul and she kept screaming until she was hoarse. The energy then grabbed onto a piece of her soul and started to pull on it. She tried to scream but couldn't. She was screaming silently as tears trailed down her face and saliva was spilling from her mouth. She then finally felt that piece of her be torn away and she just stopped. Her screams just stopped and her body went limp as her vision went black.

Jaune stood up and held his hand out to the scroll. It looked like a black flame was in his hand and a smaller purple flame was in the center of it. "This is a piece of her soul, Ozpin. The piece that gave her, her Semblance." He closed his fist and the flames were gone. His entire body was covered in those same black flames before the shifted to purple before shifting back to black. Jaune called his aura back into his body as he smiled under his mask. "And now, it's mine."

After seeing all of that, Ozpin was stunned silent. He had no idea on what he just saw. Jaune took the scroll back before talking, "That is what'll happen to every person you send after me. I'll either break them or take what makes them powerful." He dropped the scroll and it was angled so it could see Jaune but not Goodwitch. He pulled out Sommeil Eternel and pointed it at Goodwitch. "The weak die." He fired his bullet into her chest, killing her. "The strong live." He said as he holstered his gun. He then walked over to the scroll. "Those are the rules." Was all he said a she stomped down on it, shattering it.

A/N- That was a long chapter and probably the best one so far for Distortion, at least in my opinion. Now, for the people wondering why Jaune didn't kill CFVY, I have my reasons. And there are a couple of clues in this chapter for what I have planned. I also put out a one-shot, Jaune's Inferno, feel free to give it a look if you want. And I feel like this needs a cover image/poster. If any of you wanna make one, I would appreciate it greatly and would love to use it. Again, a big thank you and shout out to Jauneforever for being the Beta Reader for Distortion. That's all I got for now. Catch ya in the next update.
