Chapter 15 Should I stay or should I go
Disclaimer: Well, I think I'll just casually stroll by an-SURPRISE! *Leaps for the rights to RWBY but gets tased by the electric gate*
I don't own the rights to RWBY.
AN: Annnnnnd there. Sorry about the slower chapter updates. And my casual fuck up in the beginning of first uploading the wrong doc. For those who know nothing of this, good! Stay oblivious. The long updates have been a mixture of me procrastinating like nothing, me trying to improve the quality of each chapter, and writing 3 other stories on top of school work. Once again, consider the flight of Jaune is over, we can now begin to transition to the next part. The actual plot. All trouble from the (grand)parents will, for the most part, be gone. As I recall, there's still one person angry who's name rhymes with Food Bitch! Also, seriously lancaster writers, make team LANC a thing.

Context, it makes sense
Now to the chapter! *Jumps out window*
Meep Fanmeepster: Seriously, we need to get stronger windows.
Flying in a ship with someone who left you hanging out to dry, for several hours to a high level Atlas prison, as it turned out, was extremely awkward. Emerald and Mercury both refused to talk to one another for the most of the flight to the Atlas prison, and it let to a very tense trip.
"So...what a have you been up to?" Emerald said cautiously.
"Nothing much" Mercury said, not making eye contact and seemingly intent on staring at the mountains as they passed over them.
Emerald was ticked at the assassin. She knew he would have still been angry from Cinder's fall, but now he was just being stubborn. They all had time to have their regrets. They needed to focus on the task at hand, after all both their lives depended on the mission's success.
The PA system crackled to life "We're approaching the drop site. Prepare to jump" addressed the pilot.
Emerald loaded her SMGs and Mercury finished the last calibrations for his deadly prosthetics. "Any Idea what we're breaking into a prison for?" Mercury as the doors opened, the cold wind blowing harshly, cutting into them.
Emerald merely shrugged "No idea. We just have a cell number and are told don't get caught. The Captain said anything else from there is up to us, just as long as we get out undetected and with the target alive."
"Great just, great" Mercury replied sarcastically "Do we even know where this cell is?"
"Yeah, it's in the maximum security wing as for where in the maximum security wing it is, we'll have to find that out by sneaking into the prison archives room."
"Oh joy, even better it's in the maximum security wing and we don't know where in the wing it is! This target better be worth it" Mercury grumbled
"Yeah, it's gonna be a pain; I can tell that already, but there's no going back now. Come on let's jump before we run out of flight space." Emerald replies calmly before leaping out of the plane
"Yeah yeah I'm coming" Mercury says before jumping out as well.
Landing in the snow drift the two of them stand up and start to gather their bearings.
"You got the recall beacon?" Emerald asks
"Yeah I got it. What about you, do you have the jammers?"
"Of course I got them. We'll need them to deal with any electronics that we come across as we make our way through the facility. They aren't the sort of thing I would forget." Emerald said while scoffing.
"Ok then let's get moving we have to get in and out of that facility in less than 3 hours, otherwise the drop ship will leave without us." Mercury stated in a way that didn't leave much room for argument as he started walking towards the facility before stopping with face of realization. "So uhh how are we going to get in anyways?"
Emerald stops with a look of sudden realization as she realized that she had yet to fully grasp a plan together. When they did work together all those years ago, it was usually Cinder who schemed. She shrugged "I guess our best bet would be to use my illusions to knock out some guards undetected, then grab their clothes and armor, then one of us goes to find the archives to locate the cell, then move on to the security room, take out the guards, and tamper with the recording devices so that there is no recording of us ever being here and then finally make it to the cell, and leave with the target. If all goes well by the time that they notice something is amiss, we will be long gone."
"You know we probably should have done this on the way here." Mercury laminated before deciding to save any complaints he had and give'em right to Captain Asshole when they get back. He nodded his head, then proceeded to follow Emerald towards the prison walls. As they approached the prison walls they saw a patrol of three, two male and one female, soldiers walking and conversing along the outside of the walls.
"-I swear man, I actually have a grimm cow trapped in a hole in the ground!" Said one of the men
"Oh come on, I call B.S. Ryan" Said the other male. "It's wrong to keep an a cow like that trapped in a hole, and let alone the fact that grimm cows don't exist!"
The other man, Ryan, rolled his eyes "Obviously you haven't looked hard enough to find a specimen like Edgar. Michael"
"YOU NAMED IT EDGAR?"
Finally the female spoke up. "You two idiots shut up and focus! We have a job to do."
Ryan rolled his eyes "What job? All we ever do is stand here and talk! That's all we ever do!"
"Fine, if you two seem to think that, then you two can enjoy patrolling over the courtyard!"
"But there's nothing there!" whined Michael "All there is, is snow, snow, and more fucking snow!"
"Good" The female, probably a commanding officer, "then you wouldn't mind giving me a review over it!" She barked, and then walked out of the room, leaving the two guards wide open for the two rogues.
Silently communicating the two designated which one of the guards that they would take with Mercury sneaking up behind one and taking him out with a kick to the back of the head from his prosthetic leg, while Emerald took the second out by hitting the soldier in the back of the head. Ten minutes, after the two rogues have dumped the bodies and switched out their armors the female guard returns.
"Well, have finished your reports yet?" She asks in an intimidating manner
"Yeah, there is only just snow out there, nothing but snow and mountains" Mercury replies in a sarcastic manner.
"Fine that's good enough, let's go and get inside you two." She said while waving her hand towards the door
"Right let's do that" The two rogues replied and followed her through said door.
-Time skip-
"Alright, this seems to be the right cell, the Captain wanted us to get the prisoner and get out undetected" Emerald said as they finally approached their target.
"Well, time to crack this bad boy open, take whoever this asshat is, and never see you or the head asshat never again" Mercury said. Without another word, he slid the keycard through the slot, then opened the cell door to reveal…`No. HE DID NOT JUST GO THROUGH ALL THIS SHIT TO FREE-'
"Awh, the kids finally decided to free daddy! About time you goons decided to free me." Roman Torchwick commented as he saw the two enter his cell. The man himself had hardly changed over the years, although it was noted he looked skinnier than before.
Emerald looked as ticked off as her partner "This has got to be a mistake. There's no way he would want you…" she mumbled softly in a state and anger and shock
Torchwick waved his hands around "You two do know I'm right here, right?"
"This has got to be the wrong cell."
"No, the numbers match exactly!"
"Then they must have moved him! No way Torchwick is our guy!"
Roman rolled his eyes "Ah, you two love me just as much as my own kids would love me if I had any. In all seriousness though, has it ever occurred to you two trigger happy thugs that I actually am usefull? Someone around here has to have a taste for subtle fashion; after all I know for sure that these soldiers and the person or people who designed this prison uniform certainly don't. I mean seriously, red and yellow stripes is just so gaudy looking and hard on the eyes. Now, what does Cinder want, and why the hell did she let me rot in jail for over 3 years!" He growled.
Emerald almost couldn't bring herself to look at Torchwick, and even Mercury felt a tinge of guilt. As much as he hated being out of a job, at least he wasn't in a cell, but then again Torchwick's rant removed a lot of the sympathy from his mind… "Torchwick...Cinder is dead. She's been dead just about as long you've been in jail." Emerald said slowly, trying not to piss off the thief.
Roman seemed quiet. Too quiet. No rage, no anger, no outrage. He seemed blank. Finally, he looked at the two, swallowing down the rush of emotions he was feeling right now "Well, if it's not Cinder, then who does want me, cause you two sure as hell didn't come here just because you missed me and my company." Roman asked. If he was getting back in the business, he wanted all cards on the table. He would not rot in jail again, he was Roman bloody Torchwick! He would not let himself be screwed over again.
"A man who goes by the name Captain. No, we do not know his real name, but he appears to be raising a small army, and an actual army at that, not just some angry faunus citizens and cheap goons with even cheaper guns" Emerald said.
"Sounds like a real stick up the ass and also don't knock on my men; some of them actually have good tastes in fashion." Roman said as Mercury broke off his cuffs.
"Oh, don't even get me started" The assassin growled
"Ooh, touchy subject Boot Boy. Though just so you know I can't leave this cell due to the prison implanting tracking chips in those who are under maximum security. If the sensor in the doorway detects me leaving this room alarms will go off throughout the facility.
"That will be a problem then, as we're not suppose to raise any alarms." Mercury laminated
"Wait! Mercury do you think that one of the jammers could block the signal from the chip?"
"You know, I think that might just work at the very least it is worth a try." Mercury commented before turning to Roman "Here hold this jammer, it should block the sensor's signals from bouncing off the chip."
"Ok let's go. We don't have all day to get you out of here." Emerald said as she left the cell.
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming" Roman replied as he got up off the bench following her out of the cell.
The new trio quickly fled from the cold cell. Running around the corners, Emerald checked her watch. They've been here an hour and a half and there was the roughly hour long run over the mountain side to get to the landing zone where they could than signal the dropship to land and pick them up. Meaning that they only had about 30 minutes to get out and get to the mountains, or risk getting captured, hunted down by the captain's men, and worst of all, having to hear Roman and Mercury bitch about it. Pulling out the map of the prison that they had stolen earlier Emerald started to guide them out of the prison. Running past the corridors, Emerald used her semblance to cover up the three of them from the occasional guard, while Mercury using the scrambler hidden in his bionic legs to get them past the cameras. Roman, however, was unnaturally quiet, and it seemed to catch Emerald off guard. The criminal from the past would always make self-claimed witty remarks and insults, making both her and Mercury want to punch him square in the face. But he was quiet. And it worried her.
"Why are you so quiet?" Mercury asked vocalizing her thoughts for her as the small group navigated through the prison halls, avoiding contact with the guards.
"None of your business, Legbreaker." Roman retorted quickly. "And we need to stop at the inmate item storage. I have things vital to me in there."
"Like hell we are!" Mercury growled
"Oh, and how would you work if they locked you up and took your leg." Roman replied, which silenced the assassin pretty quickly "Good. Now shut up and get me there. I can deal with any of the locks if needed"
Emerald growled. This was not part of the plan, and they could barely afford to risk it. They needed to get the pickup point now, but if her memory of Torchwick told her anything it was that Roman was more stubborn than ass. "I think the storage might be on the ground floor, near the laundry area. If we hurry, we MIGHT just be able to retrieve your crap before we miss our window of time. Now move your ASS!"
Wasting no time, the group of criminals made their way to the storage in a hasty quiet manner. Finally checking the coast was clear, Roman pulled out a hairpin and begin to pick the lock, till a click was heard. Walking into the room, Roman quickly went through the storage units, putting aside a pile of valuables, most likely to pawn at a later time. However, Mercury saw the box he was looking for.
"Yo, old man, that it?" He said, pointing to a box labeled R. Torchwick.
"Thank you. Now come to daddy" He said, breaking it open to reveal his cane and original clothes, bowler hat included "Oh, daddy's missed you so!" He said, throwing off his prison garbs and quickly putting on his regular clothes, not caring about Roman and Emerald being in the room.
"JESUS OLD GEEZER, WE'RE RIGHT BLOODY HERE! WE DO NOT NEED YOU STRIPPING!" Mercury yelled, covering his eyes
"Kid, you try being in a prison where privacy is nonexistent and having a sense of modesty." Roman snarked as he finished putting on his jacket "Ah that is much, much, much better!" He said, twirling his cane and placing his bowler hat upon his flame orange hair.
"Put your hands up now!"
Ah, crap.
Standing in the entrance to the storage, was a guard, his gun pointed a Roman "Stay right where you are, or I will open-"
The poor man never got the chance to finish his sentence, as a blade pierced his chest from behind. The man fell, revealing a short woman with pink and brown hair, holding an umbrella with a psychotic grin crossed her face.
"Neo! You little minx, I knew you were coming for me!" Roman said, sounding happy for the first time during this whole mission "What took you so long?"
Neo started at Roman, saying nothing, but Roman seemed to understand her much to Emerald and Mercury's confusion
"Well, that's understandable, they can be quite troublesome. No, I don't having any hard feelings. At least you tried Neo. More than these two have to say." Roman said, then turned to the duo "Now, before we leave this place, I want to make one thing clear. Neo stays a secret till I say kiddos. I don't like the sound of this Cap guy, and if I'm gonna be doing any business, I'm not going in without at least one ace up my sleeve, as gambling it all paid off sooo well last time."
Emerald snorted "Pfft, what makes you think you're in any place to bargain with us? We just broke you out of jail"
"That's where you're wrong. You got me out of my cell. What's to per say, stop me from alerting the guards and getting you two arrested? I would be more than happy to give you a taste of what I've been through these past few years"
Mercury eyes widened. That cocky little shit! If he would...but then a thought occurred to him. "Alright. Fine. We'll keep the midget a secret" He said as Neo frowned at him, crossing her arms.
"What?" Emerald said, looking at the assassin as if he were insane
"BUT" Mercury stopped her "We want a way out too. A whole contingency plan. I fucking hate this guy. Honestly, Cinder treated us better, and that bitch used the threat of disintegration like it was the next big thing. So if you plan on having a way out, we want in on it too."
Roman paused for a bit, thinking it over. Finally, he spoke. "It will be hard, and I'll need you two to give me as loose as a leash as possible from this guy. But I might, MIGHT, be able to pull it off."
Emerald nodded "Alright, this is all fine and dandy, but aren't we forgetting something?"
Both men looked at her with a look of confusion.
"OUR WAY OUT! MOVE YOUR ASSES!"
"Alright, geeze." Roman complained "Neo, get yourself out of here. I'll meet up with you when I can. You know where."
Neo nodded and disappeared from the room. And with this, the Assassin, Thief, and Mobster escaped the prison.
1 week later.
Ozpin looked at the reports laid out on his desk, the main headlines varying but the point was the same
Roman Torchwick escapes prison after years of captivity.
Now normally, Ozpin would leave business like this to the police, seeing as the council had restricted his possible actions to that of teaching his students, giving hunters missions, and hunting Grimm, but this was far too suspicious to leave alone, seeing as how this had happened in a maximum security prison with an undisclosed location other than that it was in Atlas, and the fact that the only person who had escaped was Roman Torchwick and no one else. There was simply no way Roman could have done it alone, and Neapolitan, despite her best efforts, had yet to succeed in locating him over the years, let alone break him out, that's just how secure and secret the prison was. Nobody wanted to risk another Cinder. No, this breakout implied that it was orchestrated by someone with strong connections with the criminal underworld as well as knowledge from within the Atlesian military, likely even connections within the council of Atlas: if not the other three kingdoms as well. The problem was that the only known person who fit that description, Ms. Cinder Fall, was dead. This new breakout only seemed confirmed his fears that there was a new player in this twisted game and they don't seem to mean well. While the world government had hunted down many of Cinder's former allies and contacts, Qrow and himself playing key roles, the investigations were still ongoing, and with time, had become low priority in the eyes of the public. People like Emerald Suantrai and Mercury Black were still at large. Furthermore this new player is likely combining their own contacts with those that Cinder use to have. This reinforces the idea that his order NEEDS to find the remaining three maidens.
However, despite all this, Ozpin was glad to have some good news. The new Fall Maiden had been located, earlier this week, and was already transitioning into the role. Mr Arc and Ms Rose managed to make peace with both their parents, and if the Beacon rumor mill was to be true, they would be sending him 2 hunters in 17 years hopefully, and could begin on his new work with helping Qrow soon.
Pressing a button on his desk Ozpin opens up a contact menu. He needed to get the drunkard on Torchwick's case while it was still hot, and someone as experienced as the criminal knew how to cover his tracks well.
Jaune walked up to the cabin his parents had given him as a graduation president. The cabin itself was nothing to impressive, something each one of the Arcs lived in after graduation as their hunter career hits full stride. However, Jaune knew for a fact that he actually had no intention of leaving the cabin. It was a decent sized house, one large floor, complete with a master bedroom and two guests, a small kitchen, and two bathrooms, and rent was something he was not willing to deal with. That, and his parents HEAVILY implied him marrying Ruby and using the house to raise the children. God, did he want to slam his head vigorously against a concrete wall until he forgot every bit of that awkward can of worms. For now the only thing he was willing to worry about was how he was gonna repaint the cabin to something… less feminine… Hot Pink was not a color for any respectable masculine man to have their walls. Which he definitely was and if anyone disagreed they could tell that to the end of his revolver (name pending)
Opening the doors to the cabin, slowly unbuckle off his armor. The one downside other than the color was that it was a hike to get here. Needless to say, doing any hiking in summer with armor on would leave most people hot and sweaty, and despite his extensive hunter training, Jaune was no exception.
"Nice color there Kid"
Jaune jumped up visibly, attempted to draw Croceas Mor only for the sword to fumble out of his hands. Facing the intruder, he looked to see Qrow's tall frame raiding his fridge "Shame kid. You think a man who can now legally purchase and consume booze would have at least some beer in the fridge." The tall man commented as he closed the door.
Jaune was still in shock "What are you doing in my house?! And where the hell were you at graduation!"
Qrow merely shrugged "Hey, Jones-"
"Jaune"
"Meh, doesn't matter. Look, I was very busy talking with Oz over important stuff. Now, kid have you turned on the news recently?"
Jaune looked confused "What does this have to do with breaking into my house and raiding my fridge!?"
The ashen haired man held a finger up to Jaune's mouth, shushing the Arc "Sshhhhhh. I'm not drunk enough to deal with your complaining. Long story short, this" He said pulling out his scroll and handed it to Jaune.
The blonde looked at the article displayed on the screen. Master Criminal Roman Torchwick escapes maximum security prison; police have yet to confirm how he managed to escape, nor where he was being held. Further information has yet to be found or released.
"Roman Torchwick?" Jaune said "That name sounds familiar..."
Qrow nodded "That's the crook Ruby and her team caught during the Breach 4 years ago. He was being held in a secret Atlas prison meant for the more dangerous criminals; only a select few even knew it exists after having confirmed connections to the deceased Cinder Fall, but now he's out"
"So what does that mean?"
"Well, kiddo, it means several things. 1, Eyeliner never much of a head leader. He was middle management for the higher up. Kinda like Glynda is for Oz. The actual leader could not be bothered dealing with the lowers, so Cinder employed him to carry out her dirty work. Plus, someone like him would have gotten out years ago if he could get out on his own will. No, someone wanted him out. Someone is in need of a skill set that Eyeliner has… 3. Neo, his known accomplice has tried and failed repeatedly to locate him, so she couldn't have broken him out."
Jaune nodded to Qrow. He himself had never met the criminal, but if the stories told by team RWBY were to be held true… "You would only be here if Ozpin believed that it was related to the maidens, since you already to tried to kill me a couple months ago. So tell me; how is this related to the four Maidens?"
"Ahh, there's that famous Arc intellect shining through that thick skull of yours; well you see kid, due to the facts that Eyeliner's affiliation with the deceased strip tease and the fact that he couldn't of gotten out alone, Oz believes that the person that broke him out has similar goals. Personally it is a bit of a stretch to me, but the order wouldn't have gotten this far without going on hunches and being a little paranoid over the small details"
"Ok so what will I do now?" Jaune asked, straightening out, prepared for whatever mission Qrow and Ozpin were gonna throw at him
"For you right now, nothing. You need to settle down with Ruby and your kids for now."
But what abou-" Jaune started, but was interrupted by Qrow.
"I wasn't done yet. I'll be out searching for information about our new game player as well as the remaining three maidens. In a few months, I may call upon you in order to get your assistance in a mission, and remember do NOT tell Ruby about any of this, do I need to repeat myself?" Qrow finished with a intimidating look on his face
"N-n-n-o-o-o Sir!" Jaune stuttered out, Qrow's look clearly having its intended effect on the young hunter "But one question...Why not?"
"It's because I know my niece, and if she catches wind of this, she will make it her duty to take action, regardless of her current condition" Qrow said, steel in his voice
"Oh and one more thing kid…"
"Y-Yeah?" Jaune nervously responded still slightly under the effect of Qrow's look even though he was no longer making it
"You're a fully grown hunter with your own license, weapons, and a powerful semblance on top of that. You shouldn't act like everything is so intimidating anymore, at least within reason. So grow a bloody pair. But don't take this as you're reached your maximum potential, kid. It would be best if you worked on mastering it over the time that I'm gone. After all there is a difference between discovering your semblance and mastering it. If you were to master it, you would become much more useful to us. And do yourself a favor and ask Ruby to take you out to a shooting range. I've seen you trying out your double barreled revolver and I'll tell you the truth without any sugar on it; you suck. Ruby was more accurate when she started training with sniper rifles. And she was 7."
Jaune scowled "My aim isn't that bad. And what person gives a 7 year old a sniper rifle?"
Qrow snorted "Kid, trust me, just work on your aim. And for the record, I was drunk."
"But you're always drunk"
To this, the elder man pulled out his signature flask and took a good drink from it "Touché Jerry"
Jaune facepalmed "Not even close that time"
"Welp, I'm gonna head out now. Oh, and one last thing? You might wanna get that window fixed"
"Wait, what window?" Jaune asked as Qrow walked out the door. Looking into his kitchen, Jaune saw that the window over the sink was broken, almost like a full grown alcoholic man went through it to conduct. "YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT QROW!"
Revenge of the Omakes!
Omake: Wait, I thought you did…
Mercury looked to Emerald as they landed outside the prison "So, do what do we do now?"
"Now you turn on the radio jammer...you did bring it right?"
"No, you I thought you had it." Mercury snapped at her
"No, you were supposed to bring it, without it this job will be a lot harder: not impossible but still harder. Do you at least have the Radio beacon?"
"Nope, again I thought you had it"
"Wait, so let me get this straight; are you telling me that we went all this way, throughout the whole 6 hour trip, and you not ONCE thought to check for supplies!" Emerald asked in a frustrated and tense manner
"Well I thought you had done it!"
"Obviously Not! Damit Mercury this is why we need to communicate better!"
"Well it's obviously not just my fault; communication is a two-way street!"
"You know what fine, let's calm down, stop yelling and get our heads in the game. We can still do this together...somehow." Emerald replies calming herself down and lowering her voice in the process
"Yeah ok you're right I guess let's just try to get this over and done with"
*10 minutes later*
"CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! RUN EM! THEY"RE GAINING ON US!" Mercury yells at Emerald as they run down the hall with alarms blaring and shots going off behind them
"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT! IT'S KINDA HARD NOT TO NOTICE WHEN THEY ARE SHOOTING AT ME! THIS IS ALL YOU FAULT MERCURY! I'M NOT SURE HOW, BUT IT I- OH CRAP!" Emerald exclaims as they round the corner running straight into 20 more guards these ones standing and kneeling in a firing line
"FREEZE!" A familiar voice yelled at them before repeatedly firing taser stun rounds into the two intruders, overwhelming their auras and paralyzing them in place.
"Junior Detectives, bitch!" Neptune said, blowing the gun smoke off his weapon then high fiving Sun.
"Man, who knew your crime senses would have led us here" Sun said, fake mustache included.
Neptune shrugged "Yeah….totally not a lead from the Nutcracker… It's Al' natural"
*few weeks later*
"Hello Vale I'm Lisa Lavender reporting to you live here from Local bar, and underground crime ring, Junior's bar, to tell you that yet another dastardly plot to topple our fine kingdoms and to end this peaceful time has been foiled. This time the plotter was not an individual who worked fully independently of our groups but was instead the once famous and respected, now infamous and detested [DATA EXPUNGED (AN: Tee Hee)] who worked under the alias of the Captain. As for what caused [DATA EXPUNGED] to go rogue authorities are remaining tight lipped on the matter and while further details are hard to come across what details are available point towards heroic actions of Beacon graduate teams RWBY and JNPR-" Lisa's voice is cut off as Ruby turns turns off the TV, turning towards Jaune, who was trying to nonchalantly drink a mug of coffee. "Did you have an epic crime busting adventure without me?" She questioned the knight
Jaune tried to give his best poker face "Ummm...No?" He said, Qrow standing right behind Ruby, gesturing wildly for him to play dumb
"Uncle Qrow, I know that you're behind me. You still smell of booze" Ruby said, turning around and scolding the man.
The older hunter sighed "Shit. My one weakness. Alcohol."
"Grrr...Both of you two!" Ruby exclaimed, shaking her fists "Well, at least I have Yang...Yang? Where is Yang? She was right here, where could she have gone?"
Meanwhile, on a rooftop in Vale
"I'M THE NUTCRACKER!"
"To quote your dad, God Damnit Yang"
"WHO IS THIS YANG OF WHICH YOU SPEAK? NEVERMIND THAT, COME MADAM MITTENS EVEN THOUGH THE CAPTAIN AND HIS EVIL HAS BEEN CAUGHT, THERE IS EVIL STILL AFOOT IN THIS TOWN!" Yang The Nutcracker yells toward Blake Madam Mittens before jumping off the roof they were on.
Omake: GraVale Falls
Qrow looked at his grand niece and nephew with pride. Ruby and what's his name sent them down here to train with him over the summer, and he could tell he was really bonding with them.
A 12 year old girl, with hair like that of a sunset, looked at him "Hey Druncle Qrow, I found one of the old weapons in the basement! Me and Rouge[1] are gonna go out and hunt grimm!"
Qrow looked to his niece, seeing her holding one of the older models of Crescent Rose left over when he first helped Ruby make the piece of beautiful death dealing art that she uses now. The giant scythe seemed to tower over the girl, and the silver blades looked sharp enough to rip through flesh and bone with ease. "Hmmm...Sounds like the kind of thing a responsible parent wouldn't want you doing… Good thing I'm a perpetually drunk uncle! AVENGE THE FALLEN, KIDS! AVENGE THEM!"
1: Yes, this is legit, the male will be named Rouge (pronounced rooshe, which lazy me, is just french for red. In my defiance, Jaune is yellow in french, so sue me.)
AN: Today's chapter is brought to you by the song Roundabout by Yes or aka To be continued. Now before I finish this chapter, I would like to give credit as this chapter was mainly written by my editor. So now like that one mom with their kid, I'm gonna shove 'em into the spotlight to stand awkwardly.
Meep: Well of course he does that, but I ain't just gonna stand around awkwardly; no I'm gonna do something. As for those of you who are wondering what Jaune's mother uses as a weapon when she is out on a mission, she uses her cast iron frying pan. Yes, the very same one that she threatened to castrate Jaune with (don't ask how that would work, you probably don't wanna know). As for how that became her weapon, there is a funny story behind that. Wanderer and I were talking about how certain objects seemed indestructible: things like Nokia Phones, George Foreman Grills, and of course cast iron pans. Then I (I think jokingly) suggested that Tai's weapon should be a nokia phone thus the conversation turned to using these household items as weapons and so that's how Jaune's mother ended up using a frying pan as a weapon in battle. Also the Captain's real identity is !... *gets hit in the back of the head with a frying pan*
Lone Wanderer: Sshhhh...you've told to much… *Looks over fallen body* Oh...shit. *Jumps out window...again*
Meep: *gets back up looks around and sees the broken glass in the window frame* dammit I just replaced that glass. One of these days I'm gonna put bulletproof glass into these windows and laugh when he tries to jump out of it and ends up smacking his face against the glass. Maybe then he won't jump out the window
*Lone Wanderer in the distance* NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!
Meep: *leans out the window* I will find a way! *turns away from the window while sighing* Oh well. We are glad that you continue to read this story and so for what I expect to be a one time thing we have decided to give you two omakes instead of one
