Tale of the Blue Rogue Pirates

Taiyang Xiao-Long, a teacher at Signal academy, Huntsman, and father of two daughters was not feeling that well. The reason was that he was a man that had and lost everything. His first wife, Raven Branwen, disappeared without a trace, and his second wife, Summer Rose, had died, but he didn't just lose his two beloved lovers. He lost his daughters. His eldest Yang, who was as beautiful as her mother with his amethyst purple eyes and blonde hair, and his youngest daughter Ruby Rose, who was almost a clone of her own mother. He looked at the three graves that were now before him.

Summer Rose, Thus I kindly scatter
Ruby Rose, scattered before her time
Yang Xiao-Long, a sun that has set

'I've lost everything I loved. Why do I go on?' He thought to himself as he looked solemnly at the graves. Something kept him alive.

"So, here you are Taiyang" came the voice of his brother-in-law, Qrow Branwen, His messy graying hair was noticeable enough, but he took a drink from his flask.

"Yeah, I wanted to pay my respects" Taiyang answered. He had a feeling that kept him alive, a feeling that his daughters were alive and well, but he knew that feelings alone couldn't satisfy him.

"I know. Call it a hunch, but I don't think the girls are dead. Their clothes weren't found, and there wasn't any human blood where the Beowolves were found."

"It's been years, Qrow. I want to believe that they are alive. I want to believe that they're doing fine out there somewhere, but..." Taiyang just couldn't finished. He didn't want to admit it himself verbally. It would be like giving up.

"And that's why I'm still looking for them. Found out something interesting too." Taiyang gave Qrow a look as the individual drank from his flask and continued, "One of the people caught up in a recent Blue Rogue raid said they saw a girl in a red hood, using a scythe, with silver eyes."

(Scene Break)

Jaune gazed at Emerald's form as the sun was rising in his room at the Going Merry. Yang was right when she said he was getting 'lucky', and the only thing keeping Emerald covered was the blanket that kept them both warm after what happened last night.

Emerald groaned as the sun peeked onto her face and she woke up. She turned over and open her eyes to see Jaune. She grinned slightly and groaned out, but this was for a different reason. "I really needed that."

Jaune laughed slightly "Yeah I can tell."

Emerald smacked his arm and gave him an amused look "You're lucky you're good in bed."

Jaune grinned, "Are you sure it's not my cute looks."

"You don't pull off cute," Emerald told him. "Only when you were a little kid maybe. Ruby pulls off the cute look like a lost puppy. You? Not so much."

They laughed at her joke before they relax after stopping. Emerald rolled over and rested so her head was on Jaune's shoulder, arm across his chest and she was up against his side. Jaune noticed a look in Emerald's eyes and was concern, "You okay Emerald?"

She frowned, "Thinking of my time with my last crew. Your stupid sister had to remind me of one of my biggest mistakes."

Jaune was quite. He didn't know much of her time when she was off doing her own thing. He never asked as he knew how Emerald felt about it but this time he felt like she needed someone to talk to. "Want to tell me about it?"

Emerald was quite for a minute and Jaune did not push her. Finally, Emerald said "When I joined, it was because they were what I thought pirates should be. They stole, they did whatever they wanted and they weren't nice about it. I can respect you father since he is a strong fighter when he's serious but he's just way to layback." here she adds a glare, "tell him or anyone I said that and I am cutting off your dick to keep for myself."

Jaune nodded, looking nervous. It wasn't like he was going to anyways but it was still something he did not want to happen. Emerald stopped her glare and got back to her story. "I didn't even expect to get on anyways. I mean I was a thief that kept her head down, used her semblance and had no bounty whatsoever. Well I got in…and I hated it."

She closed her eyes, "Those guys are monsters. Hell, Grimm might not actually attack them seeing as how bad they are. Their power, their skill…it was at a whole other level. They have one woman who has a more powerful version of my semblance. I can make people see and hear what I want them to see but it is not flawless. Her illusions? They are so good they might as well be mind control, and worst is she can affect machines and capture several people at once. She made one nameless grunt jump off the ship when we were high into the air thinking he was diving into water a few feet below to catch a shark to impress her. She made another guy put a gun into their mouth and fire.

"The rest are just as crazy or monsters of their own. I've seen one take damages that would kill her. She didn't use any aura to stop it but just got back up. And the captain…" she shivers here. "The captain is the worst of all. She is worst then any Grimm. I wouldn't be surprise if she actually had a pet Grimm. She kills for amusement and lets everyone know. Worst is I think she is literally insane. I was lucky to get out when I did, I've seen some of them looking at me in ways I don't like. I might be considered the roughest of your crew when I'm here…but they're much worst then I am."

Jaune held Emerald close to him, knowing this was tough on Emerald.

(scene change)

"Are you sure this is the place?" Taiyang asked Qrow as they walked up to the building.

It was a simply building not far from the main part of town as well the ports. The large sign saying "Rip-off Sally's" made him think this was the wrong place. He looked at Qrow, "Is this a bar? Please tell me we are not here because you need your fix?"

Qrow scoff, "it's not just a bar. It is also one of the best bounty hunter's stations. You want information on any bounty then this is the place. Just don't get a loan from this shark. She charges at least a 200 percent interest."

Taiyang gapped, "200 percent? Who is crazy enough for money to do that?"

"Sally's crazy for money" Qrow informed him. "I think she gets it from her mother who taught her everything. Rumors are the woman had a pirate for a mother and she is just as bad if not worst then Sally."

They entered and found it mostly empty. A single woman stood behind the bar counter. Behind her were many wanted posters as well as files. The woman was fair skin and orange hair that was cut in a bob. She glanced their way, blowing some smoke from her cigarette. "So what can I do for you two gentlemen? Here for a bounty or a loan?"

"Hell no," Taiyang muttered scared at the idea of getting a loan from this woman.

Qrow however got her attention, "Actually we're looking for information on some pirates. The Blue Rouges pirates."

Sally laughed before she looked up over her shoulder at a wanted poser high on the wall. "He's not bad for a rookie. 50 million lien is hell of a place to start out. The kid's gonna go far, I can feel it."

Taiyang looked up at the poster. Besides the large 'Wanted' and the 'Dead or Alive' part seen on all wanted posters as well as the bounty Taiyang didn't think much of it. It had a close up picture of a boy about 18 with blond hair and a serious look on his face. "What's so special about him?"

Sally grinned "You mean besides the fact he seems to carry a special air about him? Not many know this but he's the only son of the pirate Red Scar Shanks."

Qrow blinked surprised at this. Taiyang however asked, "Who?"

Sally gave him a blank look of annoyance "Do you live under a rock? Do you know nothing about the pirate system?"

"Pirates have a system?" Taiyang echoed more confused than ever.

Sally sighed, "And I thought my father was stupid. Alright, here's a free lesson rookie. There are four pirates that are the strongest out there today. They are known as the Four Emperors. Each one is feared by the kingdoms and either have an armada or a really powerful crew. The first is Whitebeard, a pirate old enough to be seen in the Great War. He's as old as dirt and yet can still kick anyone's ass. A stubborn old man, and an old school pirate stuck to his way of thinking. Has one of the most powerful semblances that the kingdoms fear can crack the planet in half. Hell some rumors go that he was the one that broke the moon."

Taiyang was surprised that someone that old is still around and also still that powerful. Sally went on "There's also Ivo. A guy no one really knows about. Mostly stays in his flying fortress nowadays but don't underestimate his army. Deals in all sorts of robotic and cyborgs. Next is Shanks, he was a pirate breed from one of the strongest crews in the world. He's seems like a bit of a drunk and a partier but don't think he can't hold his own in a fight. He's as fierce as they come."

They noticed how she was smiling fondly when talking about Shank before her face turned into a scowl. "And last we have the captain of the Blake Blade Pirates, Captain Naruko. They are ones that really give pirates a bad name. What I wouldn't give to see her gone."

Taiyang and Qrow were quite since they didn't want Sally to turn her anger to them. Both have dealt with enough angry females before to know not to get them angry at you. Sally then turned to them "Then we have the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Warlords?" Taiyang asked.

Sally rolled her eyes, "Yes the Warlords, keep up rookie. They are the Kingdom's answer to the power of the Emperors. Each are a pirate given a pardon by the kingdoms. They were given power to do what they want to other pirates or Grimm and the Kingdom's would look the other way. They take a small portion of their treasure taken from pirates and pretty much had the kingdoms' backing. They just have to listen to the Kingdoms and are consider their attack dogs."

Taiyang stared at her, "That sounds crazy. Pirates under the kingdoms. I don't believe it."

Sally shook her head and blow a puff of smoke, "Believe it rookie. I personally know two of them. The only reason one was considered a pirate in the first place was because her dad was a famous pirate and after she defeated him she became the strongest swordsmen in the world."

"Cute," Qrow muttered though he did narrow his eyes at Sally thinking. "But back to our question about the Blue Rouges. Can you tell us much about their crew?"

"What about their crew? The Blue Rogues is part of the Armada of pirates with Red Scar Shanks as the leader. There's probably enough to not know all of them." Sally said, and Taiyang just sighed and knew this was going to be tough.

"Well, what can you tell us about the rookie?" He said, rubbing the bridge of his nose at trying to get information with Qrow, "Maybe you have more on him or his crew."

"That's info's not going to be cheap. The Kingdom's Warlords and the Pirate Emperors were free because I would think a huntsmen looking into pirates would at least know about them. If you want info on a bounty for that crew, then it's going to cost you."

"So, how much? We're not looking for the guy directly, just a certain member of his crew." Qrow asked directly and Sally smiled like the cat that caught the canary.

"50 grand in Lien for the individual crew members, any other additional information not known to most other bounty stations will cost you another 50 grand." Sally answered and Taiyang and Qrow definitely needed to discuss this further a bit. That was until, they both noticed one of the new batch of wanted posters just delivered. A girl with silver eyes, black and red hair, with fair skin. Taiyang's eyes went wide eyed at the 20 million Lien bounty on her head.

Ruby 'Red Hood' Rose

"That's the one we're looking for!" Taiyang shouted, and was even more surprised when he noticed next to Ruby's bounty picture was an equal amount for a familiar girl.

Yang 'Dragon' Xiao-Long

"Well, I sort of guessed if she was still around she'd be in trouble. She's a lot like Raven." Qrow commented as they noticed the bounties for the crew.

"Hey, you have to pay for the information!"

"That only applies if you actually told us. We're going to bring those girls home." Taiyang said and Qrow just smiled, knowing that they were alright. The girls were alive, but it was Taiyang said next that got him to groan, "And beat the living tar out of any guys that dare take their innocence."

(Scene Break)

"Morning everyone." Jaune said after he and Emerald had gotten dressed after their activities last night. Yang was waking up from trying to nap off a hangover after getting a shower last night. Ruby was already eating breakfast with everyone else.

"Morning Jaune." Ruby said as she looked over to Jaune and smiled.

"So what's the plans for today?" Emerald asked as she sat down, kicking her feet up onto the table. Yang focused on her before smirking slightly seeing the slight limp the girl had.

Weiss sighed, "We already have all the loot we took from our last raid into our storage base. We have all the lien, ammo and other treasures all split up between us. Besides relaxing and laying low nothing else is planned."

Ruby blinked hearing this before she got an idea. She looked embarrassed as she got their attention, "Umm I have an idea."

"What's that Ruby?" Yang muttered with a groan over her hangover.

"We can make a small trip to Patch." She looked down embarrassed "That's where Yang and I use to live before Shanks saved us. I know my mom's grave is there. We haven't been there in years and I want to visit her grave. At least say sorry for not coming to visit."

The others were quite, even Emerald. The young thief didn't see the purpose of seeing or speaking to a grave since it did nothing in her opinion but she could see this meant a lot to Ruby. Weiss smiled slightly recalling her own family. She wondered if they even miss her and hoped that they had some form of closure if they did. She wasn't going to turn her back on her crew and friends if she did find them but she still had wonders of 'what if' at times. Yang was quite since she knew Ruby was effected by this even if she hides it. She felt guilty since it was her fault she knew that Ruby hasn't even been able to see her mother's grave. Ren and Nora nodded seeing this as important to their friend and were willing to go and help.

Blake closed her book and smiled at Ruby. "That's alright Ruby. We can go see your mother's grave. Where in Patch is it located?"

Blake got out a few large paper maps of the islands and got the one for Patch. Ruby quickly got up and pointed to her home at one end of the island. Blake studied the map, "There's not many places we can land with the thick forests on Patch. We can land in the port in the town of Stitch. It is a short walk from there."

Jaune grinned, "Alright, lets finish eating and get ready to cast off. We're going to Patch."

Ruby sped to Jaune and pulled him into a hug. "Thanks for doing this Jaune."

Jaune smiled at his friend and rubbed her head, "Hey, I would do this is any of you guys."

Emerald rolled her eyes, but stretched as she stood up. "Well I think I will be tagging along this time. I might get something to steal while I'm there."

Weiss scoffed slightly "Is that all you can think about?"

(scene change)

The town of Stitch looked simple enough. A normal port town with a large fort not far from the docks, no doubt there the law enforcement stayed. Yang and Ruby went on ahead to visit their mother's grave while the rest decided to give them some privacy. Emerald scouted the town as she walked next to Jaune. "Well these people seem a little on edge. Think a Grimm attack happened?"

"I'm not sure," Jaune admitted looking around. He found that Emerald was right with the way people were acting. They were going about their day but he did notice that they were looking over their shoulders or down the street like they were keeping an eye out for something. "I don't think it was a Grimm attack. Even then I am sure anyone at that fort will stop them."

Then Jaune notice anyone that heard him stiffen before they looked around. Some looked at them like they were crazy and others as if danger was about to pop out. Some seem to be in even more of a hurry now. "Strange," Blake muttered watching how the people reacted. "Something's going on."

Weiss nodded but before she can reply someone bumped into her lower back and legs. She looked down to see a small girl rubbing her head while carrying a small basket. She looked up at Weiss and smiled, "Sorry Miss. I didn't mean to bump into you."

Weiss smiled and held her first reaction. The fact it was a small child and the fact she did say sorry made Weiss not react and tell the offender off for knocking into her. "It's alright. But do be careful next time."

The little girl nodded "I will. I just have to get these to miss Pyrrha." She held up her basket with a small napkin over it. "I'm sure she's hungry." And she took off again, heading towards the fort.

"Pyrrha," Emerald repeated, "I heard that name before."

"Really?" Jaune asked with a raised brow, "Where?"

"Honesty?" Emerald asked with a shrug "No clue."

"I believe you two have been under a rock the last four years if you don't know who Pyrrha is. She's the victor of the Mistral Tournament for four years straight. She's never lost a match and is said to be invincible." Weiss explained as Blake had a look of respect on her face.

"She sounds tough." The feline Faunus of the group said while Emerald and Jaune didn't quite recognize it.

"She's the girl on the box of Peter Pumpkin's Marshmallow cereal." Weiss said with a blank look, not knowing how they didn't know about the happenings of the Mistral tournament.

"Oh, you mean the busty redhead on the cereal box. She looked gentle but tough." Jaune replied, only for the Schnee to face palm herself. Why did her captain have to take after his father on occasion?

"Yes, that's what Pyrrha looks like. But what is she doing here on Patch?" Weiss wondered, and that was a good question. Patch was in the territory of Vale, not Mistral. So what was Pyrrha doing so far from home?

"A tournament maybe?" Blake suggested.

"No, she never competed in one outside of her kingdom," Weiss rejected.

Emerald thought for a moment and looked at Blake, "You're the navigator, are there any important places on this island or anywhere close to here?"

Blake closed her eyes thinking, "Nothing sticks out on Patch. Signal Academy is on the mainland a short distance away from here. And then not too far away from that is Beacon Academy."

Weiss snapped her fingers, "Of course. She must have been trying to get into Beacon Academy."

"Wouldn't it make more sense to go to Haven, closer to home?" Blake pointed out.

"And if she is trying to get into Beacon why is she here?" Emerald added.

Weiss frowned not sure herself. Jaune however suggested, "Maybe we should go ask her ourselves. If nothing else at least see what the little girl is doing."

The others agreed and started to head to the fort where the girl was running towards. They found her slipping through the metal bars of the gate due to her size before running out of view. They quickly ran to the wall and jumped up so they can grab the edge and look over the wall. The courtyard was barren with only a single pole tied like a cross in the middle and someone tied to it. The person was slumped over, her arms tied to the arms of the cross and her head low leaving her long red hair to flow down over her face. Her hair and skin were dirty as well as her bronze armor. The group were surprised someone was left like that before the little girl could be seen walking up to her. The woman raised her head and her hair moved to show her face, slightly dirty and her green eyes. She smiled softly at the girl who beamed back at her. "Back again I see? You really shouldn't be doing this Rika. You'll get into trouble."

The little girl just held up her basket and pulled the napkin aside to show the girl "I made you these rice balls Pyrrha. I hope you like them."

This stunned the group to know that this was Pyrrha that they were just talking about. Pyrrha stared at the rice balls, looking slightly hungry before she said, "Rika, you shouldn't do this. I don't want you to get into trouble."

"But I made them just for you," Rika said simply holding the basket out proudly "I even manage to make them all by myself."

Pyrrha smiled softly at the girl, even if she glanced at the rice balls hungrily. Back at the wall the others were surprised by all of this, "That's Pyrrha?" Emerald asked unable to help herself. "Not what I expected."

"Why is she even tied like that?" Blake asked concern.

"It is almost like she is being treated like a criminal," Weiss stated with a scowl, "But that doesn't make any sense."

Jaune noticed someone was walking into the courtyard and heading Pyrrha's way. The teen in front was a boy slightly younger than them with curly blond hair, pale skin and looked very skinny. He wore a fancy suit and gave the air he was someone important. Or at least think they were important as Jaune has seen plenty of people like him and figured he never did a hard day's work in his life. Behind him were two strong looking men acting as body guard. The boy noticed the girl with Pyrrha and laughed, "Oh are you cheating Pyrrha? It's been three days now. Ready to admit defeat?"

Pyrrha glared at the boy, "I'm not cheating. I never touched anything. And three days is not enough to affect me, I will be able to handle the last four."

"So confident," the boy said with a sneer. He then noticed the rice balls and grinned, "Oh rice balls. I would love some."

"No!" Rika cried as the boy took one of the rice balls from her basket. "Those are not for you!"

The boy didn't listen as he took a big bite from the rice ball he took. However, his eyes burgled slightly and he spat it out. "What is this!? Why is there sugar here? You are supposed to use salt!"

Rika looked down like she was about to cry while Pyrrha glared harder at the boy, "I thought they would taste better if I added sugar."

"Well they are worthless!" the boy cried before he knocked the whole basket down from her hands and dropped his own rice ball into the pile. He lifted his foot and started to stomp on them. "These are no good to anyone."

"No!" Rika was crying now as her hard work was being destroyed "I worked so hard on those."

The boy huffed as he brushed imaginary dust off his suit, "And now they are equal to the dirt they're worth." He snapped his fingers, "Throw her over the fence."

One of the guard grabbed the girl by the back of her dress and walked to the wall. Jaune and the girls ducked under so they would not be seen and the guard tossed the girl over. Blake quickly leapt off the wall and caught Rika before she could get hurt before she landed on the ground softly.

The boy turned back to Pyrrha to gloat but took a step back at the harsh and scary glare he was getting from her. He recovered and started to walk away calling back to her "Our bet is still going on and I will be the winner."

Pyrrha kept her glare as he walked away, "When I win I will be expecting that apology."

Once he was out of sight Pyrrha sighed and slumped over again. She closed her eyes taking deep breaths. When she opens them a few minutes later she saw a pair of shoes in her view. She looked up to see Jaune in front of her. "Hi," Jaune said simply.

Pyrrha blinked before she replied back, "hi".

Jaune turned his head in the direction of the boy that taunted her, "Why are you taking it from him? I can tell you are able to beat him or stop him easily. So why let him win?"

Pyrrha looked at him before she let out a small laugh, "I'm not letting him win. I just have to last four more days. And then I will show him that he could not make me lose."

Jaune raised a brow wondering if this was simply a battle of pride. He had a feeling it was more to it than that. He also had a feeling there was more to this girl than meets the eye. "Well then, I wish you the best of luck."

He turned to leave but… "wait."

Jaune turned to see Pyrrha looking at the stomped on and dirty rice balls. "Can you do me a favor? Can you give me that?"

Jaune raised a brow, "They're all ruined and covered in mud."

"I don't care," Pyrrha said evenly "Just put it in my mouth please."

Jaune looked at her before he reached down and gathered up the rice balls. He tried to not take as much mud and dirt but they were really grounded in. Finally, he reached up and offered the rice balls. Pyrrha opens her mouth and with Jaune's help manage to get the food into her mouth. She chewed with stuffed cheeks and bits of rice around her mouth. She then said as she swallowed, "when you see Rika in town…tell here…" she lowered her head and Jaune can see tears falling, "That they were delicious."

Jaune smiled and walked away having faith in the girl.

(scene change)

Ruby and Yang stood before the grave stunned. It was an odd moment standing before their mother's grave but even more so seeing their own graves. If they were expecting anything, this

was not one of them. "This is really weird." Yang said as she looked at the gravestone with her name on it. It was still strange that people thought they were dead.

"Yeah. I'm glad you're sober for this. But this is..." Ruby also noted her own gravestone, and it was still stunning to them that people thought they were dead. Even their pet dog Zwei.

"I know. It's so weird to see your own grave, and it wouldn't feel right to come here drunk." Yang honestly said and she also needed this. Ruby stepped first to the grave of Summer Rose.

"Hey mom. I know I haven't talked to you in a while...years, but I've been kind of busy. I know you wouldn't exactly approve of my career, but I've got great friends. I'm also kicking bad guy butt while taking their treasures. I've also been keeping an eye on Yang for you, because she needs it." Yang just huffed at Ruby's comment, but let her finish up, "I don't think I can stick around too long, but I'm glad I got to talk to you again, even if it's just here." Ruby started off towards the town of Stitch to meet up with the crew, but not before she laid a white rose on the grave of her mother. A gift to show she still remembered her.

"You go on ahead. I'll catch up later." Yang said as Ruby waited for a few moments before leaving. Once she was out of earshot Yang looked at the grave before starting, "I'm really sorry Summer…mom. I shouldn't have dragged Ruby into this. I don't think you'll hold against me because I learned a lesson from it, but it's still my fault that we're pirates instead of Huntresses. I guess we enjoy it, but my mistake hurt dad and uncle Qrow pretty bad. I know Ruby looks out for me, but I'm also looking out for her. I'm sorry."

Yang then started followed Ruby but she paused when she thought she felt a hand clasp onto her shoulder for a second. She turned but saw nothing there. She wondered and thought that maybe…maybe Summer was saying that she was happy because they were alive and happy. That maybe she was alright with them being pirates since they were happy. Yang smiled, feeling a lot better now. After that brief look back, she left to catch up with her sister and crew.

(Scene Break)

"Thanks for catching me lady" Rika said as she was showing Jaune and the rest to a restaurant to get some food. Nora and Ren were already there with Ren looking for a few new recipes to try out.

"Not a problem sweetie," Blake said with a smile rubbing the girl's head.

The girl's mother, who happen to own the restaurant, sighed "I really must thank you. Rika always worries me when she sneaks off to see Pyrrha."

Jaune smiled at the girl "I was actually talking to Pyrrha after they left her alone. I helped her eat the rice balls you made for her."

"She ate them?" Rika asked gleefully, happy Pyrrha got to eat her treat she made for her.

Jaune nodded, "Every last bite. Said they were delicious."

Rika bounced excitedly "I'm so happy she liked them. I better make some more for her when she gets back."

"I still don't understand that," Weiss said shaking her head, "Why is Pyrrha tied in a courtyard? Why is she being treated like some sort of criminal?"

"She's not a criminal!" Rika shouted standing onto her stool and had her hands on the table to both keep her steady as well as try and look serious, "Pyrrha is a good person! It's that meanie Cyan's fault and his uncle!"

"What do you mean?" Blake asked hoping to get some answers.

The mother sighed, "You all are new in town so you don't know yet. You see the town in being controlled by a pirate named Raleigh."

"Raleigh?" Emerald asked before glancing at Weiss, one of the best at recalling different bounties and status of pirates. "Who's he?"

Weiss closed her eyes and thought it over. "Raleigh Frogger, Aka 'Raleigh the Stormy Nobel'. Bounty of 10 million Lien. Was once a rich young man of the high society in Atlas. But he grew bored of the life style and took his hand at pirating. He enjoyed it so much he became one full time. Is said to have a weather machine his father invented to make storm and to attack ships and escape with."

Rika's mother nodded, "That's correct. Less than two weeks ago he came to our town and made the fort his base. He placed rules on the town to keep us from doing anything to him. We were just lucky he is more focus on his hobby away from us to really enforce stricter rules or demand money from us. Anyone who does not listen would be executed. But his nephew Cyan pretty much acts like the town is his playground. He demands free food and drinks and threatens us with his uncle to give into his demands. So far he has not force anyone to do anything we would regret but his uncle's hold on the town and the other crew members keep us at bay. Raleigh has been using his weather machine you mention to knock bullheads out of the sky or force them to land for their own safety. Pyrrha was on a bullhead that landed here and hoped to wade out the storm he made before returning. She was here when it happened.

"Cyan had this pet wolf that was almost rabid. It trashed the place, ate food off of people's plates and snapped at them. Rika tried to make it go away with a broom but it attacked her."

Rika looked down sadly while the mother looked at her daughter, remembering how scared she was that she was going to lose her only child. "Then a spear shot out and killed the wolf. Pyrrha stopped the animal but the men with Cyan confronted her. She defeated them easily but Cyan spoke of how he was going to have his uncle burn down our home and restaurant right in front of us. So she manages to make a deal; she was to be tied at their base and if she went without food or water for a week then not only would she be free to leave but also they would leave us alone."

The group were stunned. The reason for Pyrrha's punishment was hard to grasp around but they had a lot of respect for the girl. Rika then beamed at them, "It has been three days already and she is still going at it. I tried to help but I can't do much besides maybe make snacks for her even if she doesn't take them or a cup of water. I'm worried she will be hurt."

Jaune smiled at Rika and patted her head, "It'll be alright, I just meet her and I can already tell Pyrrha is very strong. She'll get through the rest of the week."

Rika beamed at him as the girls smiled at him for reassuring Rika. Their musing was put to an end when they heard out laughter. They turned to see Cyan has walked in and took an empty table, four men beside them. "I can't believe how stupid that girl is. You think someone so famous would be so smart. She's still sticking to our deal."

The group glared at him but otherwise did nothing else. Cyan went on not noticing them "With my uncle coming back with his treasure hunting trip today I must wonder what he is going to do. Maybe he will let me keep her as a pet." He laughed harder, "Oh yes that might be fun. But I think I will just have her executed. Shame as I am sure she would have been fun in bed. Maybe he will let me have her for a few hours first."

"Doesn't she have four more days of your bet?" one goon asked.

Cyan scoffed not seeing the crew growing more and more angry. "Like I would have listen. She was stupid for making the deal anyways. I didn't think she would still be going. No she's has been more trouble than she worth." He then grinned at them. "I can't wait to see the look on her face when I stand before her before I have the men fire."

The group were now shaking with rage, Rika and her mother were horrified. Jaune's eyes was hidden in the shadow of his hair as he stood up. He walked over to Cyan who noticed the teen behind him. "What do you want? Can't you see that I'm-"

Wham!

Cyan was knocked to the floor by the right hook that Jaune hit him with. He glared down at Cyan as the boy was surprise he was even hit, "You can't do that!" he shouted on the floor rubbing his cheek, "My uncle is arriving today and when he hears this he will kill you."

"I'm not afraid of your uncle," Jaune said in a dark tone "You went back on your word and plan on killing a good person. I won't let you do that."

The men with Cyan growled and stood up to fight him. "Oh, you and what army?" Cyan asked as one of the guards were smashed with a hammer, and another had been hit hard by what looks like a gun attacked to a black ribbon.

"Oh, I think an army would be too much for you. Just me and my pals." Jaune said as he drew Crocea Mors from it's sheathe and was ready to fight back. Another goon was shot by a pair of pistols, courtesy of Emerald, and Weiss decided to toss them all out with Wind Dust and a glyph.

Outside Ruby and Yang finally made it back to Stich. "I'm glad we got to talk to mom again. We should try to make more time for her." Ruby said happily.

"Yeah, at least I feel better about some stuff. Now, where's the Rum?" Yang said as Ruby just shook her head no, denying the blonde bombshell her fix of drink. It was at that point that a strong gust of wind blasted a curly haired blonde and four goons out the door of a restaurant. They blinked as the goons got and Jaune stepped out with the rest of the crew.

"We're telling my uncle about this! Don't think that just because your Huntsmen and Huntresses that you'll get away with this humiliation!" Cyan spoke as Jaune looked at the guy.

"We're not scared of you or Raleigh! No matter how fierce the squall, a Blue Rogue never gives up! We leave no man behind if we can help it either!" Jaune said as the group fled back to the fort.

"That felt good." Nora said happily as the retreat was seen.

"And what happened here captain?" Yang asked as Ruby was also curious as to what was going on.

"Nothing much. Just some punks that pissed the captain off." Emerald answered as now, they had to inform the two of what was happening on Patch.

They did not take the news very well. "That no good dirty, *growls* I don't think I can think of a curse to say how pissed off I am!" Yang was ready to smash and grab as she said that, slamming a fist into her palm.

Ruby didn't like the idea of anywhere on Patch being used like that. "Then we have to beat him up, First Mate and Gunner, Ruby Rose, reporting for duty captain!" Ruby said with a salute, and the rest of the group were ready to raid.

Jaune nodded, "This guy made a mistake coming here. Someone like him thinks he is beyond anyone to harm him. But now," he looked at the fort determined, "we'll show him how big of a mistake he's made."

He started to walk to the fort, his friend and crew behind him. People in the street, those looking from home or stores stared at them. Some wondering if they were insane, some wondering if they were going to even life to see tomorrow. The group was quite before they stood in front of the iron gate to the fort. Jaune glanced over his shoulder to his friends, "Yang…Nora…would you do the honor?"

Yang and Nora grinned as they stepped forward. Yang cracked her knuckles and Nora got her weapon out and twirled it until it unfolded into her hammer which she pulled back for a swing. Yang pulled her fist back as her weapon unfolded itself. Both swung forward and slammed into the gate.

What? A Cliffhanger? Man and it was getting good too. Don't worry as there will be plenty of action next chapter. So what did everyone think? Is it too much or do you think I didn't have enough changes and elements? Want to know more of the Emperors and the Warlords? They will be revealed as more goes on. Thought that brings up the question; should there be World of Remnant sections as filler or for added notes? Let me know and leave a review. critical reviews are always welcome and flames will simply be fuel to keep doing more stories like this and more.
