AN: Short chapter! Running late tonight so tired Sorry about that! Next chapter longer so until then!

"Qrow Branwen. Nice to meet you."

The man said holding out a hand to Jaune who took it and shook. The man had a strong firm grip that made Jaune smile at him.
"Jaune Arc. Also."
He said with a slight smile as the man gave him one back. He was a tall man with jet black hair and blood red eyes. He smelled like liquor but showed no clear signs of intoxication as he grinned.

"So you are the one's Ludo sent to help me with my little problem then? I gotta say I don't know what he means when he said he was sending his best but he's never steered me wrong before. I'm assuming you were briefed on the situation?"

Qrow asked as Jaune shook his head.

"No. We were told that we would be helping you with a little problem of yours. But Ludo gave us no further details... I was hoping you could fill us in more. I don't like to fight blind. And I am assuming we are fighting."

Jaune said as Qrow? Gave a sharp bitter laugh reaching into his pants and pulling out a silver flask and taking a long swig from it as he swallowed heavily as he put it away.

"So let me get this straight. Ludo just picks you up sends you all the way to the literal ass end of nowhere. No information about where you are going. No knowledge of who is going to be meeting you there or what your goal is beside to quote "help."

"And he then he just leaves you to fight and die alone in the wilds?!"
Qrow asked incredulously as Jaune and Kage shared a glance.

"Ummm yes? That's about it."
Jaune asked nervously as Qrow gave him an unreadable look before giving another short bitter laugh as he drank from his flask again.

"Typical ludo! That bastard hasn't changed a bit! Gives you no information and still expects you to get the job done! Sounds just like him to."

Qrow said drinking again as Jaune chuckled.
"You know Ludo Qrow?"

"Know him! Kid me and Ludo go way back!"
Qrow said waving his arm out showing off his impressive biceps as he did.

"I've known him ever since I left Beacon and he's saved my ass more times then I can count!"
"You were at Beacon?"
Jaune asked as Qrow nodded.

"Sure was! You are looking at a proud former member of team STQR! Team strong if you liked us! Or team Stork if you didn't or knew how to spell."

Qrow said with a half laugh as Jaune grimaced.
"How long ago did you go to Beacon Qrow?"

Jaune asked as the light left his eyes as Qrow gained a tired look on his face.
"Kid I went to Beacon a lifetime ago. When I was a wide-eyed young youth with dreams of saving others and chasing skirts! That was before...

Qrow droned off as his face hung low as a pained grimace came over his face as painful memories washed over him.

"What happened at Beacon?"

Jaune asked as Qrow's lips turned into a nasty snarl.

"I trusted somebody I shouldn't have! That's what happened! I thought he had my best interest at heart with all his talks of maidens! And saving the world! But he played me! He played my team like the fools they are! And the worst part is they don't even realize it. They think it was all for the greater good. And I'm the disturbed the Oum damned immortal body snatcher! Bunch of lousy blind hypocrites!"
Qrow suddenly yelled slamming a monstrous scythe into the floor that looked disturbingly like Ruby's as Kage, unlike his pistol holders.

"Easy kid. No need for all that. I'm just a dusty old bird venting on the past and present stupidity of his friends and family. Now come on we have things to discuss."

Qrow said inviting Jaune and Kage to a small table at the far end of the hut as Kage gave Jaune a look at the blonde nodded to him. As Kage calmed down re-clicking his holsters as his black hair glittered int he fir light as the two boys walked to the man who was now busy serving them tea as they went to go sit by the roaring fire.

"Now I'm not going to sugar coat it for you two. It's not looking good for us." Qrow said as he pointed to a large white map on the center of the table. It was a well-detailed map indicating their current position with the word tribe. Written in bright red letters with the word them.

Written far south-east of the map with bright red arrows showing what looked like an attack that was coming and coming soon as Qrow pointed to the map.

"We are under attack by an enemy force. They have better weapons better equipment and are much faster than us. If my tribe my family is to survive we must destroy them. Soon."
Qrow said giving Jaune a steely look as he nodded.

"What do you know about them? Who are they and why are they attacking you?"

"They are a rival group that is in direct opposition to us. And will stop at nothing to see us eliminated. If we stop them, we stop them here. If not we die. Every last one of us including you two." Qrow said making Jaune grimace as he looked at the map.

"What makes them superior? Weapons? Training? Numbers?"

"Weapons kid. There ain't a man out there alive to outfight Branwen and live to tell the tale. But they got the numbers, and more importantly, they got the advantage of speed on their side."

"Speed? What do you mean?"
"I mean machines! They are chasing us in an armored column kid. I'm talking APC's, scouts, hell! They even have tanks! I mean main battle tanks! I'm talking about Tigers here! They have been hounding us for weeks, and now we are at the end of our rope. If we don't end this soon, it's all over for us."

"What advantages do we have then? We can't fight enemy armor with nothing but will and ice can we?"

"Kid I've won longer ods with worse but not like this. We are not all fighters. We have old, sick and young here. If we try to outpace them, we will leave many of our own to die. And I refuse to let that happen. The old tribe might have done that but not me. I changed things for the better."

The man said as Jaune looked at the map.

"Then what's the plan? And how can we be of help?"

"Eager? I like that! Even if you are blonde."

"What's that have to do with it?"

"My teammate was a blonde...

"Did you and he have no issues?"
"No.. I wouldn't say that he just never kept his dick in his pants. Even when it was our own team, be it, my sister! Or partner!"
He yelled slamming his teacup on the table but not breaking it as he sighed.

"They never even left the room... Anyways back to this. We do have one advantage right now that's shifting the fight in our favor. The enemy is getting hungry. They know we are starving tired and running out of room to run away. They are eager for the kill and that's made them sloppy. They think us weak."

"And so far they are right. At this rate, we would have starved in another week. But that's where you come in! We are going to change this fight and win the day!"

Qrow said pointing to a pass on the map with his finger and sighed.

"Heil fire pass. This is the nearest way to our camp by vehicle. They will be attacking it in full force in two hours. There is where we fight."

Qrow said as Jaune looked to the narrow pass of snow on the map.
"So we funnel them in and attack them while they are clustered?"

"Hey, you catch one quick! Even for a blonde but yeah. We have recently acquired some rather effective anti-vehicle weapons from a contact of ours and are having all available fighter mount a last-ditch defense of the pass."

"That pass is a natural choke point. If they try to force it and they will they will need to split their forces to avoid too tight of a cluster. That means the column will split along two lines allowing us to deal with them at half strength."

"How will we deal with them? What kind of weapons did you acquire?"

"State of the art tread-fethers kid! These things were made with killing tanks in mind, and they are so easy to use even a blonde can use one! Some offense."

"Some taken," Jaune said dryly as he went on.

'"Anyways! To pull this off, we needed a bit of help with this operation, and since Ludo owed me a favor, I'm calling it in. He sends me two of his best, and in return, the tribe helps him out in a moment of his choosing. So how about it kids? You two up for a little clash of tanks?

Qrow asked as Jaune and Kage shared a look before nodding.

"It doesn't look like we have much of choice."

Jaune said making a joke but regretting it as soon as he saw Qrows face go hard as grand as he spoke in a deep rumbling voice like crunching gravel.

"There is always! A choice. Jaune. Never! Ever! Let anyone, be they man, Grimm, or god! himself Tell you that there is never a choice. We decided our fate and destiny, and anyone who says's anything different is a liar and manipulator who you can only trust how far you can throw him and his damned cane!"

Qrow snarled as Jaune gave Kage a worried look as he shrugged his armored shoulder as his brown eye reflect the firelight as Qrow sighed.

"Sorry old habits you know? Now let's get you bys outfitted with some guns huh? You can't kill a tank with that word now, can you? Or those pistols!"

Qrow said as the boys grimaced as they prepared for an armored fight.

"This your first time dealing with armor?"
Kage asked as he and Jaune stood in a shallow blue tent as the looked over their new equipment.

In Jaune's arm was a thin beige tube. It was about one and a half feet long with a trigger, barrel, scope and spilled for loading as he held up the tread-fether. As it was called as he picked up the anti-vehicle weapon he recalled their plan.

The plan was fairly simple. The enemy armor would come at them at two places, and the bandits as they were called would launch an infantry attack on them.

They hade the terrain advantage and the ability to use cover. And it was also learned that their unit armor rocket outranges all but the tanks of the enemy giving them a significant advantage in the upcoming battle as Jaune opened his treat deather as he sighed.

"Yeah. Didn't really expect to fight against enemy tanks when I joined Beacon you know?" Jaune asked with a wry grin as Kage shot him one of his usual mirthless smiled.

"Really? What about armored Grimm? I mean just because they don't have tanks as we do does not mean that they don't have their fair share of thick armor that needs to be cracked."
He said as he folded and unfolded his tread-fether.

Already a master at loading and operating the gun as Jaune sighed.

" I knew that it's just...

"Just what?"

"It's just I don't know! I didn't want to kill people. I know that sounds foolish now but back then? Back then I just wanted to help people. I didn't care what happened to me or what I had to go through, but I just wanted to help others. You know what I mean?'

Jaune asked as the quite boy paused as he face became unreadable for a moment as what looked like a pained expression came over him.

"More than you know."
Kage said as he unfolded his weapon taking one of the may rocket on the table and fix it to his armor, as the magnetic lock on the projectiles made for easy carrying.

"Come on. We've talked for too long already. We have things that need to be killed."

The boy said as Jaune saw a dark look in her eyes as they left the tent and went into the snow.

"Jaune right you're with me."
The woman Vernal? Said as Kage gave him a look, and Jaune knew that Kage would go where the said go as he sighed.

"It's fine Kage. I'll be ok."
"You better. Ruby won't let me live it down if you get so much as a scratch so stay safe. For her."

He said as he went to join the other wing of the defensive perimeter as Jaune and Vernal walked together.

"Have you ever fired this weapon before?"
Vernal asked in a harsh, clipped tone as she and Jaune walked through the village. It was still a bustling community of children, elder people and some young adults not fit for combat went to and fro.

Collecting wood, water, and doing various other tasks that seemed to keep the tribe as it was called a float as Jaunr shook his head.

"Not one day in my life."

Jaune said as she sighed.
"I know you've killed. I see that look on your face, but have you seen a real conflict? Like official war?"

"Once... I don't like to think about it."
Jaune said as more of artillery fire and cold dead earth rushed him as Vernal grimaced.

"You won't have to. This is going to be bloody. The enemy is far superior to us in numbers and strength. The only advantage we have is range and terrain. Qrow is confident that we will succeed and I have utter faith in him, but I am not convinced as he."

She admitted her brown eyes falling as Jaune grimaced.

"Why do you like Qrow so much? What has he done to make him such a respected leader?"

"Qrow saved us. He turned us from a group of squabbling bandits obsessed with strength and power. Into a well organized self-sufficient fighting force that looks out for one another and is neigh invincible in battle. He's made us what we are today, and I will never forget that."

Vernal said reverently as she and Jaune made their way into the snow.

"This is it. We wait until they reach our firing lines then we open fire. This is where we hold. There can be no retreat."

Vernal said in Jaune's ear as the two sat in a snow-covered foxhole next to over three dozen more similar holes as Jaune unfolded his Tread feather.
It was a remarkably simple weapon to use in reality. It was lightweight portable and the rockets if fired only weighed ten pounds each.

As Jaune aimed with his weapon, the scope pooped up revealing its holographic nature as a small line of green popped up on top of the ting barrel point to the side that fired as Jaune stared it down.

Currently, the holographic scope glowed a bright green, and Vernal assured him that it would glow crimson when a target was in range and that he was not to fire until he saw that turn red.

As she and Jaune waited in the foxhole, it was quiet. Oddly quiet.

As the lightly falling snow filled the air resting on top of their heads, as the two were covered inf res falling layers of whited as Jaune aimed down his sights still not seeing anything before it came.

Jaune saw it at first and thought it was just an illusion. A trick of the light as the afternoon sun reflected off of the ice. But after a moment to confirm, he saw it was no trick of the light.

"There they are!"

Vernal said as raised her weapon as Jaune saw it. A small but ever-growing cloud of snow was approaching as the first wave of enemy armor approaching.

The enemy force according to Qrow was comprised of around weighty APC's making up the bulk of their troops along with eight heavy tanks. Tiger classes according to him. That made up their thickest armor and most damage.

Luckily the snow limited the amount of heavy armor they could field at any one time as Jaune was grateful that he had less armor to deal with.

As the collum approached the small cloud white grew in size until it was a massive storm cloud that was rapidly approaching them as Jaune sighed.

This was it. This was different than the badlands, different than the Kernel. This time he was not only killing humans, not fang. Not people who he could justify with but this was just business.

He would be taking part in military operational against those whose interest ran contrary to his and for all intents and purposes could be totally perfect people. People that he would soon be killing.

Jaune thought as he made out the first enemy APC. It was as hor fat thins, propped on six massive snow tires. It had a low framed with a small domed top that one long cannon stuck out of as the first of many came.

"Wait until they split."

Vernal ordered as the enemy armor broke apart and split in two. Half of them going to the side where Kage was and half coming to him. As Jaune raised his tread-fethers as he watched it's scope wink from green, to orange to red as he heard Vernal grunt.
"Hold...

She said as the roar of the engined could now be hard as Jaune thumbed his trigger.

"Hold...

She said as the first ten vehicles made their way onto the ice path that leads to the tribe.

"Hold...

She said as the vehicle got so close Jauen swore he could see the dark stan window as Vernal shouted.
"NOW!"
She yelled as Jaune pulled the training to his gun as a low whoosh!

Sound was heard as the rockets flew out as soon as the holograph turned red, as the rocket shot forward, two feet where it seemed to hang in mid-air.

It seemed to pause mid-flight as two dozen more rockets fired on the same thing hanging as one before onboard thrusters activated in them as they rocketed forward in angry red whisp as they slammed into the convoy.

It was an instant effect as a set of red dots appear in the convoy as the rockest slammed into them. Jaune watched as the angry whoosh! Of the tread-fethers slammed into the convoy gutting the APC's like they were made of paper.

One vehicle was hit in the side as a rocket blew part it's entire right side as it stuttered and lost traction losing all control and tumbling off the side of the mountain pass and passing out of sight only for a dull whump!

To be heard followed by a cloud of smoke as it felt. As it died much more met its fate. As one took a rocket to its front, its armor buckling under the impact of the hit as it tipped forward. Going face up in the snow before skittering to a halt.

As it crashed, the two on it's left, and right were torn apart. As rockets slammed into them blowing them into pieces. As one vehicle was ripped clear in two. As half of it fell off into the sky, it's ammunition reserves cooking off and firing wildly as it did.

While not was caused in on itself slamming head down inot an otherwise unharmed APC making them both explode into a bright orange cloud of fire.

As the one of the left had its wheels blown off, for it to skit to a scraping stop only to be rammed by the one behind it causing them to crash into one another, forming an ugly pile up, as one of them literally ran over its allies only to go flying off the side to disappear as another whump!

Was hear followed by smoke. Jaune saw his own rocket hit right through the cupola of an APC as the shot tore right inside before a sun appeared inside of it sending it flying high in the air before crashing down on another making that one up in a miniature sun.

"Reload!"

Vernal yelled as Jaune ducked behind her reloading her tread-fether as Vernal aimed and fired.

Whoosh!

Another whooshing sound filled the air as Vernal fired taking out another Apc in a bright plume of smoke as Jaune slammed in a new rocket as his holograph flash green.

"Reload!"
Jaune yelled as Vernal sucked behind him as Jaune stepped forward.

The path was chaos. As the first line of rockets had proved devastating to the enemy armor. Terina part and ripping them asunder. Tossing jagged flaming corpsed of metal off into the snow as Jaune aimed down his sights.

Whoosh! Another whooshing sound cam fire into a reversing APC blowing it off it' s high train fully half of the things top off as he did.

"Reload!"

Vernal yelled as he did. Thier plan was simpled. One fired one reloaded. This kept a steady rate of fire onto the enemy and never gives them time to recover. As Jaune and Vernal worked like a well-oiled machine.

As did all the other bandits as they rained a never-ending stream of angry red comets onto the enemy. The Armor as so bogged down that it could not advance as the road it was on was chocked with the bodies of their comrades making their advice paused and made them easy targets for the Branwen snipers.

But all good things came to an end. After killing around, sixty percent of the enemy armor what looked like an easy victory took a turn for the worse.

Several armored units made a break for it breaking past their wounder flaming comrades and rushing the enemy. This time they got in range as their Gatling cannons spooled up before firing.

FIT! FIT FIT!

The hillside exploded as shells impacted them sending up massive piles of snow and sleet as Branwen's went up in clouds of blood as the rounds tore them apart, as the enemy rained death to them.

"Hold together! Don't run and keep shooting! No matter what you do! Don't! Stop! Shooting!"
Vernal orders as the rocket fire were redoubled at the enemy as a shootout took place

Now deep angry roars came out from the approaching APC's as their Gattling cannons spooled up firing onto the bandits as they traded cannon fire for rockets with the enemy as they gunned down over a quarter of the tribe before finally being put to a fiery end as they final rocket was fired and the last of the enemy armor was crushed.

"We won!"

Jaune yelled punchin his fist as Vernal grimaced.

"Not yet look."
She said pointing to the back of the columns grind slowly over the fields a monster was approaching. There was a tank, long and massive as it rolled up the hill.

Over thirty feet long and half as wide, with a cannon that street its enter leaning that wimp grinned over the destiny APC's like they where nothing as its tread crush them.

Three more leviathans followed it as Jaune gulped.

"Vernal... What do we do?"
He asked the girl as she put down her rocket and sighed. "It's time for us to go Jaune. Let's see if Monty favors us this day."
She said picking up what looked like a string of Oum's mas decoration lights as she grimaced.

This was suicide! Jaune thought as he and Vernal along with several other tribesmen sprinted forward. The Tigers were coming and with them the end of the fight.

The tread-there could not break their armor at that range, so it was up to Vernal Jaune and a hand full of other bandits to make a miracle happen.

The plan was simple. Vernal had equipped them with something she called joy poppers. In essence, they were an anti-tank trap that you had to be very close to using. To use one, you simply laid it out entirely in front of a tanks tracks and hopefully it would run them over.

When it did the joy poppers, magnetic locks would engage and wrap themselves around the tanks treads before detonating themselves and immobilizing the tank making it impossible for it to move or follow them.

The plan was simple, but it was risky. They had to leave the relative cover of the tree line to make it work exposing them entirely to the Tigers filed of fire making them sitting ducks. Luckily for them, the sheer amount of smoke and soot from the annihilated APC's acted as an effective smokescreen for them as they ran forward. The air was cold and bitter. And every breath felt like you were inhaling a lung full of needles in your chest.

As Jaune grimaced through the pain as he approached the rung convoy.

"Spread out! One team per Tiger! Take them down!"
She ordered as the men and women sprinted out.

Jaune bit his tongue as the smell of cooking flesh, and decay filled his nostrils.

Don't think about it.

He thought as he saw the horrible wrecks of the APC's along with the horribly twisted cooking bodies of their crew.

They are the bad guys Jaune. You are doing the right thing.

He told himself as he and Vernal saw their first target.

The lead Tiger. It was massive. The things were over thirty feet long and over ten high. It's the main gun traversed the entirety of the thing's hull and stuck outward menacingly.

As a small machine gun swiveled left and right as Jaune glared at it.

"Watch me."

Vernal said as she took out her long jagged line of joy poppers as she stalked forward. The tank came on unopposed. Its dominance over the battlefield was unquestionable as it crunched the broken bodies of its comrade as Vernal moved.

She crept and stalked forward going from wreck to wreck. Taking her time as she got in front of the Leviathan. As she laid out a perfect line in front of it as the Leviathan came forward.

Forward Jaune watched with baited breath as it ran over the Joy popper. He saw as its magnetic lack wrapped around the tanks tread latching themselves on before-
BANG!

There was a blinding flash of light as the tracks glowed white as fully half of them melted off.

As the tank ground to a halt Vernal was already moving. Already she was on top of the tank, where she pried open the hatch with her strange discs before tossing some type of grenade into it as she leaped off it lands on the snow as a dull whump!

Was heard from, within the tank's interior as its machine gun dipped and went still as she did three more white flashes filled the air as the assault team teams attack as there where the more whumps!

And one BANG!

As one tank exploded into a massive fireball as Vernal sighed.

"Amateurs. But who can blame them? Killing these rich snobs always feels good in the end."

She said as Jaune cocked his head.

"Rich snobs what do you mean?"

Jaune asked the woman he now respected with all his life. He fought with her saw her lead and was content just impressed at how well she handled herself leading the bandits as she blinked at Jaune.

"Who do you think I mean Jaune? We just got through trouncing on the mightiest and most advanced militaries one he planet! I think a celebration is in order! What does everyone else think?"

She asked as the tank busting forces gather around Jaune felt something wrong. A ting sensation in his skin told him something terrible had just occurred and he was bear witness to it take place.

Most technologically advanced military on the planed? Why the hell would she say that? What bandit clan had that strong of a military?

Jaune thought as he looked around him. The bandits had regrouped around Vernal and they were all laughing and cheering their victory calling her name as if she was their personal savior as she checked Jaune over to her.

"Come Arc! When we feast tonight, you will sit with me! No other place for our honored guest who spilled such blood with us will do!"
She said laughing openly for the first time since Jaune met her as the growing sense of wrongness filled him.

Something was wrong terribly horribly wrong with the world, and he needed to find out what it was! As he looked around, he saw that the other side of the hill was in much similar to a state.

As a mass of destroyed vehicles APC's and Tigers filled the hillside as Jaune saw the mass of destroyed metal glowing in the distance something was wrong!

Jaune thought as his mind began to piece together the puzzle. They where helping bandits fight off a superior foe. The bandits where most likely criminals of some type and that was fine! Jaune assumed they were fighting other criminals and drew no issue with killing the bad guys.

But as he looked around at the charred wrecks burning twisted bodies and wrecks it was wrong! Bandits don't have tanks! They don't have APC's and if so not in this number! Jaune had been overlooking this fact before but now?

No this was wrong! Very very wrong! As he looked around past the metal, past the flames and cooking flesh, there was some glaringly wrong here but he as missing it! Is was so subtle but so obvious as Vernal called to him.

"Jaune come on! We might still be able to pull from these rich fools coffers! They don't have their precious dust to save them now!"

Vernal said as Jaune saw what he was looking for.
There on the body of a dead APC crewman. The first one he had shot was half of a body. As an arm attached to a headless torso spilled out. Spilling bright red blood onto the snow.

He saw it...

He saw the familiar white and blue emblem on his shoulder, the thin red lines of rank on him followed by a name.

"James Hart. Gunner first class. Atlas Third armored division. Bandit stalkers."

Jaune said aloud as his breathing hitched.
He ha not been killing bandit nor white fang. Jaune had been killing soldiers. Atlas soldiers... Jaune had been killing the good guys...

: AN DONE! I have not slept in twenty-three hours time for bed! Until next time! Game on is next! SHoter Omake because of I. Am. D.

Hero of Remnant. Parts Six. Bad times at the bloody midnight.

"Ren come on. It's not going to kill you wear a tux ok?"

Jaune asked his second in command as he adjusted his chain sword. Both he and Ren where off to a ball of all things and Ren was less than pleased.

Whether it was due to having to wear anything other than standard guard gear of the fact that Jaune had suggested, AKA ordered Ren to take the Falka girl as his date who knew?

Jaune was officially going with Ruby. The young woman refusing to leave his side after sparing the lives of her soldiers even it was in a penal legion for now. As the and Ren both approached the Gala entrance.

"Sir... Are you sure about this? Where are out dates?"

"They'll be here later. I told them to come later."

"But why?"

"So we can scope out the scene. Ren, I don't like these things and the wors branch of white fang are her. The followers of the light always use these places to usurp Monty's light so stay sharp.

Jaune said as the mention of Mony burned all doubt from Ren as the two opened the door into the dance.

It was a fancy thing. Men woman, human faunus dancing in all manner of extravagant and pointless outfits. As Jaune walked he froze as the most beautiful woman in all his life played on stage. She was a tall redhead with piercing early eyes that payle a harp as Jaune stared.

Who the hell are you? Jaune thought as he looked at the redhead who he had a sneaking suspicion was stain directly at him as he went to the bar.

"One whiskey. Straight."

He ordered as the fauns bar hand a cat man nodded.

"As you say, sir."

He said as he fixed Jaune a drink that he downed in one shot before ordering another.

As he realized he had to calm down. The regiment was fine, the troops loved him for some inexplicable reason and-
"Is this seat taken?"

A beautiful melodic voice asked as the drop-dead gorgeous redhead from the stage walked forward. As she did the bar hand gasped dropped his whiskey bottle the ground and ran away. As the woman smiled as Jaune frowned.

"Now that was unusual. It's like he's scared of you." Jaune said with a girn knowing that he was the only one to be feared at the bar.

As the red ea looked at him with a confused smile on her beautiful face and if Jaune was, to be honest terrifying smile as he felt the unusual urge to shoot her in the face. As a voice in the back of his head told him it would save him an innumerable amount of hardships in the future. As she gave the most beautiful smile to him

"I am Pyrrha Vale Nikos. It is a pleasure to meet you commissar Arc. I have heard so much about you but you already know me." She said in a melodic voice as Jaune looked her up and down and frowned.

"Ummm forgive me, Miss Nikos? Was it? I have no idea who you are."

He said as the woman's jaw dropped as she looked like he had just said Mony had risen from the throne.

"Commissar... Surely you jest...

"Nope. I have no idea who you are. And believe me. I would remember a pretty face."

He said smoothly as her smile became downright distrubing as Jaunes' inner voice said. Told you so...
