Don't Cross Them
_
"Jaune!" Pyrrha ran over to him to see if he had any injuries. A few scratches here and there but nothing major.
Nora asked Jaune "Fearless leader, who's the old guy?"
"This is Thorin, he's my master" Jaune said
Nora, Ren and Pyrrha remembered the talk they had at the cafe "oh..."
Jaune introduced his entire team to his master. To which Thorin did enjoy, That hammer girl reminds me of someone Thorin thought
"Nice to meet you Thorin, sir. I'm Pyrrha Nikos" Pyrrha held her hand out as Thorin reached to grab it.
"Nice to meet you" Thorin flashed a smirk "I see that you've been taking care of Jaune, for that I thank you. I worried that I hadn't taught the boy enough social skills but I'm happy he has such good friends"
Jaune blushed "Hey! I have great social skills!"
Thorin laughed at his pupil's embarassment and continued on "I saw that you were worried for the boy earlier...Is there any chance that you and Jaune are-"
"Nope! Thorin we aren't like that" Jaune shouted, Pyrrha slightly blushed and Thorin gave a hearty laugh.
"I'm kidding... However if you ever become a couple, I send my blessings" Thorin said as Jaune blushed.
Jaune looked over to see team RWBY. As his friends he was worried for them I hope they have this figured out
He saw Weiss walking up to Blake to do something... Please do something good
"Weiss I-I'm sorry...I'm not with the-" Blake was cut off by Weiss
"You're not with them anymore right?"
"Yes..."
"Then that solves it, I'm just happy we have our teammate back" she said as team RWBY essentially got back again.
Yay team RWBY Jaune was cheering for his sister team for sure.
-oOoOoOo-
Roman was laying on a couch in one of his warehouses with an ice pack on his right eye. Presumably to lessen the bruising.
He stood up to pick up his hat "Hgnnnn I can't even stand properly..." Roman limped over to the desk near him and got his hat as he sat on a chair.
Neo just came in with food for her and Roman. "Hey Neo, glad you're back" he said as another person walked into the warehouse.
"Hello...Roman" A woman with black hair and a tight fitting red dress entered the room. She had quite the body... even Roman would consider her smoking hot plus one on that joke Roman praised himself, considering she had pyromancy.
"Yes Cinder dear?" He hissed as his back cracked just turning toward her
"It seems you've failed once again" She said as she threw a newspaper at Roman's desk.
"'Roman Torchwick and White Fang at the docks stopped by Beacon Students!' Tch...What an extremely uncreative headline" Roman joked
"Yes, well it seems that they don't need a more creative title...a better one would be 'Another Failure by Torchwick' Well it is quite disappointing..." Cinder tells him
"Hey I had it under control...until those damn kids and that old guy came in..." He truly had the heist until those dumb kids... that Knight and that old man ruining my god damn plans...don't even get me started on Red...
"Well, you've failed Roman"
At this, Neo went to get in front of Roman. Roman then set her aside, he whispered "Don't...Neo, I'll handle this" he said as he smirked.
Roman sighed inwardly "Where are the kids you said you'd bring?"
Cinder smirked, she told him she'd being in some new people. Damn...I'd have to deal with more people...
"Why might you be so curious Roman?" she asked
"Well...I'd love to know the people I'd be working with" He totally lied. They're probably as dangerous as her...
Cinder and her amber eyes tried to scan him. He knew what he was doing, there's no way she'd know that he was planning to book it after their operation.
"Worry not Roman... I still have a job for you. I just got more people for the job I thought you could handle ." Shit...I knew she was warning me but...one more then I'm a goner.
With confidence Roman answered "I won't disappoint you next time"
"You better not, Roman... Remember what I told you about crossing me. This is, as they would say strike two. One more then you're out" She says as she playfully puts her finger on Roman's chin.
Roman gulps This isn't good...
-oOoOoOo-
It's Vale, normal sunny day. After two robberies in the span of a month, an old man was hanging up a banner that says "Newly Reopened Dust till Dawn"
He was climbing down his ladder until a beautiful girl with dark skin and mint green hair bumped into him and knocked him down.
"Oh, I'm sorry I'm not really from here. Do you know where we can find this shop?" She said as she held out her hand to help him out.
What a nice lady he thought as he smiled and pointed her at the direction of the shop.
Emerald thanked the man and walked to Mercury who was stood in an alleyway.
"I knew you were lost"
"Yeah, well what about a few minutes of silence and you can have this" Emerald said as she pulled out a wallet that she stole from the old man.
"Hmmm...no deal" Mercury replied as Emerald hissed and took all the money from the wallet. "Fine" she replied
Emerald started walking and Mercury said "Whatever...you want me" as he gave a small cool guy-esque laugh.
They walked through the streets as people were minding their own business, the birds were chirping, there were people drinking coffee in cafe's, everything was at peace.
"How much farther?" Mercury asked
"Just a little bit more"
"Ughhhhh this place is so dull"
"I kinda like it you know. Tall buildings...diverse culture" Emerald said as she was cut off by Mercury as he said "and nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket"
They stopped "That's every city" Emerald replied cockily
Mercury found this funny and joked as he said sarcastically "Oh Emerald! Master Thief, please don't take my money, I barely have enough to get by"
This got a growl from Emerald as they continued walking through the city. Mercury sighed "You're no fun today"
They got to the bookstore "Tukson's book trade, home to every book uner the sun" the sign read.
Emerald opened the door for a little bell to ring. They stepped in, Mercury stayed by the door and Emerald went to ring the bell to call over Tukson, the owner of the establishment.
"Be right there!" a gravelly voice came from behind the doors and a few seconds later Tukson came out with a mountain of books.
When he set them down he said "Welcome to Tukson's book trade, home to every book under the sun, how may I uh-" as he looked at Emerald who was smiling at him and Mercury who seemed to be reading books.
His face became pale, they were here for him.
"How may I help you?" He said with a neutral expression
"Just browsing" Mercury slammed a book shut.
"Actually, I was wondering if you had any copies of the thief and the butcher"
"Yes we do"
"Thats great!" She responded
Tukson gulped "would you like a copy?"
*Slam
"What about violet's garden in paperback?" Emerald asked
Mercury answered "He's got it, hardback too"
"Ooh options are nice" Emerald said
Mercury asked "Hey, do you have any comics?"
"By the front" Was Tukson's answer They're probably going to kill me...
"What about third crusade"
Oh shit "I...don't believe we have that one"
With an "oh" from Mercury who slammed another book shut, Emerald asked "What's this place called again?"
"T-Tukson's book trade"
"And you're Tukson yes?" Emerald asked again.
"Y-yes I am" He answered and Emerald followed up "and you made the catchphrase?"
"Yes" he answered but was now asked by Mercury who said "What was it again?"
He sighed "Tukson's book trade, home to every book under thethe sun"
"Thats just false advertising!" Mercury said as he shut another book.
"You can't make a promise you can't keep Tukson, I hear you're planning on leaving. Going all the way to Vacuo" Emerald said as Mercury started dimming the windows so no one outside can see
I'm screwed Tukson thought.
"Your brothers in the white fang wouldn't be happy to hear that, and neither are we. You know who we are don't you?" Emerald asked nonchalantly
"Yes" was his answer
"And you know why we're here?" she asked again
"Yes"
"Are you going to fight back?" she asked for the last time
Damnit if I die, then I'll die fighting! Tukson growled and shouted "Yes!" as he extended his claws and jumped on the table and pounced to swipe at Emerald.
Only to find out it was just an illusion and he was now in mid-air flying toward Mercury who kicked his face in. He was done for, was his last thought as his face was taken clean off by Mercury's shotgun kicks.
The two then exited the store, Mercury had a comic book in hand.
"What's with that" Emerald asked
"Meh I like the pictures"
Author's note: Sorry that this chapter was just me writing about the villains and stuff I really did want to write some Jaune and other stuff. But I really couldn't think of any way to plug him into here without following canon timelines. Reguardless I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I'll try to make a new chapter as fast as I can
