AN: And here it is! The long-awaited Pillar one finale of Bastion! The end to the first arc and a major reveal for all of team ARKM will take place! Or at least for the ones that do not die that is... Find out in this chapter of Bastion!
Kage was having a bad day, or scratch that Kage had a bad existence. He started off an orphan, got into a hunter academy, got his team killed, joined the military, got kicked out of the military, or he went AWOL. Then he landed up with an explosive collar on his neck in a school for sociopaths and murderers now in a semi-consensual on the best days relationship with someone that was a bit more than human on a team with two innocent allies that did not deserve to be here.
One a blonde boy who was innocent as they came or he was until he started to get into the murder thing. And the other a girl that appeared innocent until she began to enjoy murder, but that was neither here, nor there now Kage was face to face with what might be the single most evil being to ever walk the front of the plant a thing called Salem.
Her eyes glowed like red coals in her cockets her skin so white it was damn near translucent thick red veins appeared on her skin and she radiated a fearsome power that made Kage want to run away and put a bullet between his skull before she did much worse to the boy as she cocked her head.
"Tell me, boy, why are you here?" Salem asked her voice resonated into the air he felt her booming voice in his bones as he gulped.
"Well if I said I was here because I did not want to be? What would you say?"
"I would say that you have a horrendous series of luck."
"I see... Well, I would just like to say that I am very sorry for breaking into your castle if you do not mind I'll just walk out of here and-
"Oh, I don't think I will just let you go..." Salem said pausing as a pool of inky black liquid appeared on his feet several long dark hands appeared out of it as Kage gulped.
"Well I mean if you want me to stay I guess I have no choice!"
"No, you do not..."
"Kage... Venke Kage.'
"Ahh, Venke there we go. Do you prefer Venke or Kage?"
"I... does it matter?"
"Of course it does you are a guest in my house and unlike you, I am not so rude as to barge into another's house and not know the name of the one who I am attempting to... what was your intention in my domain again?"
"I didn't say?"
"Well spoken, I do not have time to dally with intruders. Especially ones not long for this world." Salem said more long, thin hands appearing out of the ground snaking up to Kage's side as he groaned.
"Oh come on, I don't want to kill anyone."
"So you did come here to kill me?"
"I... I did not really have much of a choice."
"So it was kill me, or you yourself will die then?"
"Yes."
"Well, I am sorry to say that whoever forced you is either hilariously misinformed or they are rather cruel for you see I can not be killed. I am immortal."
"Another one," Kage said as Salem paused as a look of genuine confusion crossed her pale face.
'You are not asking me questions? I just said I am immortal does that not peak your interests?"
"You are not the only one I know."
"Really?" Salem asked leaning in her chest pressing out of her black robe, Kage sighed, if he was going to die he was at least going to enjoy the view. Salem was beautiful her chest while not massive was far bigger than most women he placed her cup size at D. Her breasts were pushed out and in the same snow color of her skin, her body was oddly attractive... A perfect hourglass figure with curves in all of the right places and-
"You are distracted? Not a good trait for one in your position."
"Is it so bad? If you are going to kill me, I might as well take in a view." Kage replied not caring about his imminent death, he did not want to die of course, but he was prepared for his death. All the time in Bastion made death a routine thing, one to be avoided yes but not one to be feared. That was what rookies did, they feared death he avoided it.
"View? What view are you looking at that is so breathtaking that you can take your attention off of me?"
"You," Kage said simply shrugging his shoulders he was dead it was time to enjoy life.
"Me? Are you distracted by me? I am going to kill you."
"And? I always knew a woman would kill me I'm just glad that I got to be killed by a beauty like you. Almost makes my life worthwhile-
"Beautiful? You... you think I'm beautiful?" Salem asked as Kage paused.
No. Way. The boy thought as he swore on his dead teammates that he saw red. Her pale cheeks did nothing to hide the blush as she blushed... She the vilest creature supposedly most evil creature on the planet blushed as-
"You... you think I'm comely?" The woman asked as Kage's mouth dropped for half a second before taking a deep breath.
"No. I think you are gorgeous." It was true she was easily top ten beauties on the plane top three and-
"Why! I! What makes me pretty?" Salem asked a hand twirling her hair as Kage's mouth began to twitch.
"You have eyes that shine like my armor, and hair the color of snow. You are easily a person." He added to make sure he conveyed he thought of her as a person, not a thing as he spoke.
"A person of considerable grace and maturity. You are clearly a wise person, and you are drop dead gorgeous, and a blind man can see that."
"I... well your eyes work well I'll give you that much. But why the compliments? Are you just trying to save your life?"
"I would be lying if I said no but you are beautiful I don't need to lie to say without a shadow of a doubt that you are the most attractive person that I have ever laid my eyes on. And it was an honor to have your grace my field of vision. And if I have to be killed by the most beautiful woman on Remnant, I am glad I got to bask in her presence before I go." Kage said taking a deep before walking forward, Salem paused her hands looking irritated as he took her hand. It was warm? Not cold at all it felt like a geyser of magma as he took her hand and kissed the top of it making her blush.
"You Salem are the most beautiful person on the planet, and I am blessed to spend time with you."
"You! You don't mean that!"
"I do."
"You lie!"
"I do not. I am a liar, but I will never lie about two things, my preference for drinks and the beauty of women. You are beautiful Salem let no one deny that."
"I! If you are really serious then sing!"
"You want me to sing?"
"Of course! If you really think a woman is beautiful, you sing for her! Ozmah sang for me..." She said a wave of sadness crossed her face as-
"Ozmah?"
"Never you mind! Now sing!"
"I need an instrument-"
"Here." She snapped her hands as a jet black violin mode of bone and dark matter appeared in a hand. Kage gulped gripping it, the thing was sickly sticky and-
"Now play for me and make the song good have exquisite tastes," Salem said her crimson eyes glaring at Kage as he gulped his mind raced looking for excuses as he took a deep breath.
"I'll need-"
A thin bone like limb with a string in it appeared in his hand as Salem nodded.
"There you go no more excuses play for me, and I will see how sincere you really are."
Oh god, I'm dead. Kage thought sweat pouring down his forehead as he took a deep breath, bringing the violin up to his shoulder thanking his stars that he actually knew how to play one, dead ex taught him how a lifetime ago.
Thanks, Alice I owe you wherever you are. Kage thought as he put bone to string.
"Well? I'm waiting." Salem added as he gulped. Come on Kage think! Be romantic! What the hell is romantic for her!? I've only played once and... oh fuck me! This is the last time I'm going to be alive, so I might as well go out as I lived. Desperate and terrified. Kage thought as he put his bone to the strings as he took what he desperately hoped was not his last breath as he began to play.
"~When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's Amore!~ When the sun hits your feet, and you dance down the street that's Amore!~" Kage winced he hated himself more at that moment than he had his entire life. He knew it was a terrible song and one he did not know any more words-
"Yes? G... go on that's Amore?" Salem asked her cheeks a color to beat Ruby's cloak as he almost facepalmed.
This is working!? No way!? Ok, thanks Oum I'll make the most out of whatever the hell this is. Kage thought as he continued to play.
"~When the stars make you drool just like pasta fazool! That's Amore!~ When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet you're in love!~." Kage wanted to gag, he looked like a damn fool! Singing for a queen of the damned-
"That... that's beautiful... go on," Salem said two tears were falling down her cheek as he gagged.
It's working!? I don't know the rest of the lines!
"Kage? Why did you stop?"
FUCK! Time to do what Jaune does best bull shit his way to victory.
"~When the moon hits your knees, and you mispronounce trees! Sycamore~! When the sun hits the earth, and you mispronounce girth you're in love!~" FUCK! FUCK! FUCK~ This is going to get me killed-
"You... you love me? Are you serious? You are confessing with a song!?" Salme asked a smile splitting her face as Kage knew it. He was dead, he died and had gone to either a bizarre version of heaven of the outer ring of hell. Not quite at the inferno but not fully safe from the effects from it. As he took the violin and kept playing.
"~When! It lurks on a reef and has two sets of teeth?~" FUCK! What the hell lurks on a reef?! What are you thinking!?
"That's a moray," Salem said to finish the sentence taking two steps towards him as Kage now knew that he had died gone to heaven been demoted to purgatory and climbed his way back up to the pearly gates.
"~When you walk on a beach, with the sand at your feet?~"
"I'm in love," Salem said two hands snaking out gripping Kage making him freeze, she held him with more strength than should be ever possible. Gripping him firmly as-
"Venke Kage."
"Yes, Ma'am?"
"I have been judging you for this whole time, and now after a carefully decided choice I have chosen."
"Chosen?"
"Yes. I have chosen you. You are the one to stand at my side." Salem said her coal like eyes burning red as Kage froze, unable to move his limbs shook and he winced as-
"Me?"
"You. You are the one to be my side."
"Are you sure-"
"More than ever. You are more than Ozmah was, now have a reward for my service." Salem said taking his chin cupping it pulling him up like he weighed as much as a bag of flowers, and not a fully grown adult in full body armor as she panted a firm cool kiss right on his lips as the boy knew he was going to be dead and if he got to kiss the eldritch horror that had a beauty hellbent on bewitching him and killing him?
Hell, at least he was going to die in someone's arms.
The woman? Yes, she was a woman if the two masses of flesh on his chest said anything and the supple, smooth curve of her waists on her curvaceous form said anything.
Kage paused the exact type of his death was not how he had planned, in fact, it was a lot better. He thought he would be shot to death, stabbed, burned, or some other manner but now?
Maybe this will not be so bad? Kage thought tentatively trying to work out his problems. Salem might not be the worst? She might not kill him horribly in some terrifying way.
As she broke the first kiss a low pah! filled the air as Kage forced a smile on his face, even in the face of death his face hurt. A smile was not a natural expression to him and is still felt like all hell had broken loose the second he allowed it to come to pass.
"You have a nice face," Salem said running a hand on his right check her oddly warm hand seemed to melt his skin as he nodded weakly.
"Thanks, you are beautiful as well." His answer was oddly natural Salem was beautiful and the fact that he had several horrifying Grimm appendages that felt like they could and would rip his arms out of their sockets the moment he acted up and held him in mid-air like some kind of puppet.
"I must say you are not the first man to come to sway me and normally I would not give into a man's advances even when they are so passionate," Salem said running a hand on his chest as he gave the best-forced smile he could muster. Bearing with the advances of the woman queen? Of all that may be evil as she smiled.
"You know the last man who attempted this tried to kill me."
"He must have been a fool."
"He was a terrible horrible shortsighted, idiotic but handsome fool. He thought I was the bad guy! He thinks I am crazy! Really! When I just wanted our children to do well! Can you believe that!?"
"He sounds crazy."
"He was, is."
"Is? You still talk?"
"More or less, he tries to kill me I try to kill him, I actually kill him but he comes back you know how it goes relationships right?"
"I getcha."
I have no idea.
"So, honey-"
"Oh? Nicknames already? You are bold Venke, and I will think of a name worthy of a pet!"
"Pet?"
"What did you think you were? I'll make you your own small doggie bed for the day and at night...we can share one." She hissed making Kage wish he was being grabbed by his psychopath and not another.
Never thought that I would be missing Mika but I was somewhat safe with her. Kage thought as Salem gave him an off-kilter grin that made his skin crawl like a thousand insects were running across it as he wished he had his pistols, but they were masterfully taken apart and laid on the floor of the palace? If you wanted to call it that and-
"We are going to have such! Fun together, I will admit I am rather starved for male company, and I think you will help me make up for lost time."
Oh great, she's a horny evil queen, great now I get to be a sex slave. Well... if I have to be a sex slave being her sex slave seems like a good idea? Or better than nothing I guess?
"Um..."
"Salem, for now, call me Salem you may call me something more proper in private," Salem said as something flickering in her eyes something old, and hungry flickered as Kage gulped his hands flicker to his sides as she wished his friends were here.
Come on Jaune! What the hell are you doing?! Don't you dare die on me! If you leave me to be a sex slave I will haunt you from the fucking grave! I swear to god!
Kage thought his fist was shaking as he winced.
I swear if you are using this mission as an excuse to fuck your partner I will shoot you in the back of the fucking spine!
"Now what do you want to name our first child?"
"What?!"
"Our first child, I will need to name our child if it a girl I shall call her Selena, if a boy? will Karlyle work for you?" The woman asked as Kage felt like he was finally going to break.
"I! Don't you think it's a bit early to be talking about kids, baby?"
"What? Why would I?"
"I mean we just met! Don't you want to enjoy a honeymoon?"
Find me! Find me! Get me the hell out of here Jaune, or I swear to Oum you are dead! DEAD YOU HEAR ME!
"Why I do find that it would be nice to enjoy our free time I am on a busy schedule."
"Busy schedule? You want me to help you with that? You know I can do that! I know a lot of songs-"
"I know you do love, but there is no more need to sing. I have more uses for your tongue than to sing." Salem said licking her lips as Kage gagged.
"Well, I might not be a cunning linguist?"
"Oh, that is exactly what I am wanting to hear," Salem said bringing his lips up as she kissed him, he squirmed now wanting to get away from his odd seductress as he felt the air leave his lungs and his vision begin to see spots and-
BANG! The door blew open to the room, filling the air with smoke and ash as three figures blasted their way-
"STOP!"
"We-
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY MAN!" A voice Kage knew far too well said as he knew said as he sighed as he knew that this was going to get complicated.
Mika was angry, no she was livid!
"Get your hands off of my man NOW! JAUNE!" She shouted her voice undulated and took on a tone that was not human making Jaune snap out of the trance of seeing his friend making out with a succubus?!
"Uh... yeah! Ruby!"
"Sorry! On it!" The girl said picking up her dropped weapon as-
"Oh please," Salem said snapping her fingers as a mass of hands shot out of the ground knocking the weapons out of her intruder's hands as she disarmed them and restrained them with contemptuous ease. Her coal eyes rolled in their sockets.
"Um! Baby! Can you not kill my friends?" Kage asked trying to not have his friends murdered as-
"Baby?! KAGE?!"
"Oh fuck me. Kage growled as-
"Wait! Hold on! Can we talk!?" Jaune said as he finally had enough of this madness as he let his anger at this impossible situation run out.
"So... Kage... he is dating..."
"Me. Salem, Jaune was it?" The target he had come to kill said as Jaune nodded still strung up in her odd Grimm hands as he and the remains of team ARKM with the exception of Kage were hung up in her arms.
As Kage sighed.
"I DON'T ACCEPT IT! HE IS MINE!"
"I-"
Salem paused her gaze locked onto Mika as she paused.
"Kage she is not human, she is also not Grimm? What the hell is she?" Salem asked her gaze locked onto Mika as she frowned.
"What the hell are you talking about!? I am-
Mika froze a hand shot out from the ground gripping her neck, the hand squeezed her neck roughly as Salem glared into her irises her face scant inches from her face.
"No. No, she is not. Jaune was it? You are the leader of this merry band of infiltrators?"
"Yes, I am. They are my team their actions are based on my orders if you are to punish one punish me instead." Jaune said locking eyes with the woman his mask ripped off by a Grimm hand and now hung by him as Salem cocked her head a bemused expression in her face as she smiled.
"You seek to protect those close to you, even when you might bring harm to yourself?" Salem asked her eyes looking into Jaune searching for an answer as Jaune grit his teeth.
"I am the leader I will protect them no matter the situation. They acted on my orders any, and all punishments for their actions fall onto my shoulders. I take full responsibility for all of their actions." Jaune declared as Salem gave a firm smile on to her captive.
"Good. I like that, I might not seem like it Jaune, but I am a being that is fond of loyalty. I believe in loyalty from all of my subjects. And I return that loyalty in turn. You seem to understand that well. Tell me why are you so loyal?"
"They are my team, I am loyal to them because we are friends."
"I see and do you think that their loyalty is returned?"
"I... I know it is."
"Do you? Well, what would you do if I told you that this female is not a human?" Salem asked fixing Mika with a curious look as Mika froze.
"STOP! Mika hissed her arms pulling in her rest her thing arms pulling the Grimm arms that held her fast making another set appear gripping her down as she struggled against Salem's hold.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Mika is a human just like me."
"You think that, but she is... well I don't know what she really is," Salem said holing out a hand moving to cup Mika's chin-
"Don't you touch me you worm!" Mika shouted her voice boomed Jaune felt it in his bones, he felt the power in there as her eyes flashed.
"You dare insult me, child!? You are a horrid deceitful thing from beyond the heavens! How dare you insult me!" Salem shouted her eyes glowing a deep crimson red as Jaune squirmed.
"Wait! We can talk about this!"
"Talk?! You come into my home! My castle with weapons to kill me?! You burst in attack my minions, and you even bring her?! A silver eyed to kill me!? You will forgive me if I do not forgive you! Now before I kill you, tell me who sent you? Was it Ozpin? That fool never learns!"
"What!? Ozpin didn't' send us!"
"Really? Then pray tell who sent you? Who knew of my location in the heart of the Grimmlands and had the time and the resources to mount an attack of me?"
"We were sent by Ludo-
"Did you say Ludo?" Salem asked her eyes widening as Jaune paused.
"Yes? Why?"
"Do you mean Ludo Von Richthofen?" The woman asked her eyes widening to the size of saucers as Jaune nodded.
"Yes?" Jaune asked as Salem blinked once twice before her eyes flashed red she stomped her foot into the ground her black heels making the odd floor break as she yanked out a scroll from her side. It was as dark as her dress and longer than the norm as-
"Um... Salem do you know-"
"Silence!" She yelled as a hand appeared over his mouth making him instantly calm.
"OK!" Jaune hissed as Salem dialed her scroll waiting several times as-
"LUDO! Don't you what me! What are you thinking!? Sending your minions on an assassination mission for me!? What!? I don't care if it was training! You don't need to send your toys! What were you thinking you fool!? What if this had turned bad for both of us! I can't believe you would do this!"
"So you are just letting us go?" Jaune asked unable to believe this was happening. As it turned out Salem and Ludo knew each other…
They were not what you would call friends, but they had an open dialogue with one another. They had the other's personal scroll numbers if that said anything.
"Yes I am, I do apologize for Ludo's actions he can be rather eccentric as you know," Salem said rolling her eyes one long dark hand pulling Kage into her said somehow fighting with Mika how dug her feet into the ground as she fought tooth and nail to keep Kage by her side.
"JAUNE! She's touching my Kage! Tell her to stop!"
"You are touching my toy, you stop."
"He is not a toy! Not to you!"
"That's not what he will be saying after a night with me girl?" Salem asked still not sure what she was talking to only that it was definitely not a human.
"About that... Salem, Kage is on my team I can't just leave him here-"
"He will not be mistreated, three meals a day, and all the snacks he can eat. He will live in the lap of luxury, and besides a bruised pelvis he is in no danger here."
"I will bite you." Mika hissed through gritted her green eyes locked onto Salem as she held onto her man for dear life-
"As much as I am sure Kage would love that he is a valued member of my team. If he is not with us we lost a critical component I am afraid you can not simply keep him."
"Then we work out a schedule."
"Whoa. Hold up, babe I know this is new, but I have to say, Jaune is my friend. He is my comrade I know for a fact! That he will not whore me out and-
"You get him twice a week."
"I want him every Tuesday and Thursday."
"Have him back by the next day combat ready in the exact! Shape he was given to you, and we have a deal."
"Deal."
"What?! You can't just whore me out!"
"I am doing what needs to be done."
"I'll kill you!" Kage hissed as Jaune sighed.
"Now that we have that worked out we can go?" Jaune asked still unable to believe his luck he thought this was a suicide mission that was finally going to be the end of team ARKM but now? Now he made an ally and maybe a friend of Salem queen of the Grimm.
"Of course. You did give me quite a scare but seeing how Ludo did stretch his privilege I have no issue letting you all go. As soon as Watt's returns the fuel to your ship with your comrade you all may leave. I just wonder where Hazel and Tyrian are? Have any of you seen a scorpion faunus?"
"Um! They are probably out looking for us! Yeah, that's it!" Ruby chipped her red eye zoomed in on Salem refusing to look away from her as-
"You are a remarkably friendly silver eye. Tell me child do you know what your eye is?"
"N-no, ma'am. Should I?" Ruby asked as Salem paused taking a moment to think before responding.
"No... no, you should not... Jaune was it?"
"Yes, ma'am. That is me."
"I do not profess to know you well, but I must be honest with you. I see potential in you. I see strength in your face I know that look it is the look of my protege has."
"You protege?"
"He name is Cinder I see you in her and her in you. You are strong, but I fear your potential is wasted on Ozpin's side."
"Ma'am?"
"Jaune. After you inevitably return from Bastion consider talking to a woman named Cinder. She was raven hair and amber eyes you can recognize her by her beauty and arrogance. Ask her and say my Name and then have her speak to you in private. At that point, I offer you a deal."
"What kind of deal ma'am?"
"Jone me," Salem said as she held out a hand her eyes burned an odd red as Jaune froze.
"Join you?"
"I will not reveal all those who spoil are the worst at, but Ozpin has left you. He has abandoned you."
"What?"
"Jaune, you are Ruby are not where you should be. I know what Bastion is, we are not allies, but neither of you belongs there."
"But we-
"There is more to this than either of you knows. I do not know all but for what you have told me? There is much more going on. I would not be surprised to know Ozpin wanted both of you gone for some reason or the other and Ludo has saved your lives."
"What!? Why would Ozpin do that?!"
"He is not the man you know child. Ozpin is many things, but he is not your friend. Ozpin does not see you as people. He sees you as pawns in his damn chess game that he plays! Listen to me both of you, all of you. You might live in Bastion or Oum forbid Beacon, but you will not thrive. If you would like once you are more liberated and if you can return there you all have a future with me know this before you go. You all have a place at my side, and I reward those who show me loyalty something I doubt you will find hard at all..."
"Get us out of here!" Mika yelled as the bullhead pulled up. The Vesperia now fully fuelled and free from dragons lifted off as Jaune nodded. The door closed as the place of the damned was cut off as the door was slowly closed. As the ship flew away Jaune had to think, he was just offered a place at Salem's side? The most evil or maybe not so evil being in all existence offered him a position?
"Jaune?" Ruby asked as the girl walked up next to him.
"She said Ozpin might have wanted to kill us... why would he do that?" Ruby asked her voice soft and weak as Jaune frowned.
"I don't know Ruby, we can ask him later when we go back."
"Will we ask him?"
"You can count on him. I don't know if Salem was lying or not but I will find out what she meant one way or another."
"Stop being sappy and let us get the hell out of here before she figures out we killed her fucking men!" Uzepi said her purple eyes flashing with worry as the ship pulled away the castle falling into the distance as-
"Jaune?"
"Kage?" He asked as the boy fought to move Mika seemed welded to his arm as-
"What happened to the bomb?" Kage asked as Jaune blinked once twice and-
"Oh-
There was a flash of blue in the distances as the castle was engulfed in a bight blue light, a ripping torrent of a blue maelstrom of fire rolled out from the castle. As the ship flew a massive second sun flash out as it burned. The castle vanished in a massive plume of blue disappearing from existence as-
"Oh... I forgot about the bomb..."
Seven hours later a lone bullhead flew over the Bastion grounds. The ship fell down as two figures stop waiting for it.
"I don't believe it... they came back..."
"They are quite resourceful Miss Heil! I would even call them cockroaches." Ludo hissed as the ramp lowered, five battered figures came out as team ARKM plus their chaperone excited, they all looked tired.
Kage's arm was dented and pitted and look like it was tossed in a can opener. Ruby's cape was torn and dirty, Mika's fur was a mess coated in soot and Jaune's mask was broke in the eyes as-
"Jaune! So glad to see you back! I was worried about your return!"
"You don't need to worry about us sir, we are team ARKM we always complete our mission." Jaune hissed his cobalt eyes locked onto Ludo's grey one refusing to back down as the man smiled.
"I thought you might run you know?"
"I am an Arc sir. I don't run and besides, where would we go?"
"To you home Beacon?" Ludo asked as Jaune let out a low cackle that turned into a full-fledged laugh fall from his lips as he shook his head.
"Sir I don't know if you know this, but we are team ARKM, Bastion is our home, and we are not going anywhere."
AN: OK! And there we have it! The finale of the first pillar of Bastion! It's been over a year and I'm glad this all worked! In this, we see the talk to Salem. Some hints of where Mika came from. Jaune makes a choice Salem reveals that maybe just maybe Ozpin was more involved in Jaune and Ruby's placement in Bastion, and Ludo just might have saved them after all? Well, that's more to look into as the fall of Salem is complete! Kage's pelvis can rest easy and now? Well, the first pillar is done the next one will be called The Soliloquy and will have far fewer mission and much more classroom centered relationships as we get to see what the class schedule is like in Bastion... ALl that in the next part! Until then? The Apprentice is up next so enjoy!
Omake. Hero of Remnant part two part six Rest.
"Sir what will we be doing today?" Ren asked his commander as Jaune sighed. He honestly wanted to do nothing today. He wanted to sit back enjoy some Tanna and have a nice calm relaxing day-
"Today? Today we are getting drunk! There is this club called Juniors! You are going to love it!" Yang said putting together her combi bolter making sure that her underslung melta gun was able to fit comfortably with her flame thrower. The young Cannoness was able to make a smile so wide and bright Jaune swore that he would go blink if he stared into it for any amount of time.
"Yang! You can't just take the Commissar out to drink! He might not like that!" Ruby whined the young commander whimpered from behind Jaune making the man wonder what she was doing.
Do you think that I will protect you from her? Well, on one hand, you are right nothing kills my men or women that's not me without a fight. Jaune said as he shook his head. Not wanting to get between Yang and her sister as the man checked his pistol.
"We can go to the club.'
"Hell yeah!"
"But only after we check out the city. We have been sent here to check out a possible heresy in the city and we will do our job dammit." Jaune said shaking his head as he stood up. Making Ren stand with him, the man joined his leader as he checked his Melta pistols. As the two stood the sisters also stood. One willing to go out and party and possibly fight whoever came to get in thier way. The other out of fear of what her sister would do if she was irritated.
"We are going to get so drunk! Hell yeah!" Yang said making sure to check her extra ammo count. As she locked her last mag onto her waist, the ammo clips clung to her waist and mag locked to her side as Jaune walked up next to her.
"Ok. We do one run in the city. Then we can go to juniors? Was that the one?"
"Hell yeah! We are going to be gone! I can't wait to kick some ass again!"
"yang! You said you would be good!"
"I say a lot of things, that's what makes me so cool right Jaune?"
"THat's one of the reasons I hang out with you but until we end up in jail again let's get the hell out of here I am already feeling the need to drink something," Jaune said as he REn Ruby and Yang walked out of the command room and got ready to go into the city for some clubbing.
