AN: Well here it is! Finals week comes and I'm writing and editing this at Five AM! Yay me! Here we see two fights! Jaune get's smart. Mink gets pissed. Opal talks to Glynda about life and Bleu makes her entrance! All this and more on Game on.

Ps. If you think this fic is morbid trust me. I said it was going to be a brutal gamer. And it will only get worse from here on in.

Edit. Woke up. Tired. Deleted chapter re did it a bit. I like it better. Here you go.


"So let's get a move on meat sack! We got a demon to meet, and you need to look sharp!"

Mink said as the glowing staircase led to a swirling portal as she smiled firmly as her pink eyes shined with mirth as she grinned.

This is it! A favor! Dagon said she might do me a favor if I bring one human to her! And it's my human to boot! Now I just need to deliver Jaune to her, have him listen to whatever terrifying request as it was Dagon wanted and she was done! At the thought being alone with Dagon gave a shred of fear to her Mink almost, almost pitied the human an-

"Do I have to go?"

Jaune asked pausing as Minks face dropped.

"Have to? Jaune you should rejoice at the privilege! Of getting to meet Dagon!"

Mink said flailing her arms as the human blinked at her.

"Do I have to go?"

He asked again as a vein appeared on Minks foreheard, as sher ordinarily flawless mocha skin was stretched as she ground her teeth.

"Jaune you should see this as a privilege! No an honor to attend to-
"Mink. Do I have to go?"

Jaune asked his cerulean eyes staring into her as she ground her teeth as she flashed her perfect white molars to the boy.

"Jaune! You should be exuberant, enraptured, overcome with rapture that someone as great as Dagon would even take the time to notice you and-
"Mink. Do. I. Have. To. Go?"

The boy asked as min felt a purple fire grow in her hands as she swore this human had a grudge against her.

"No... You do not have to -
"Then no. I'm fine until I go back to the real world.'

Jaune said simply as Mink snapped.

"You insolent cur! Listen you-

"AHHH!"

Mink cried out in agony as she dropped tot he floor, that was not a floor. Her small legs impacting on the ground as a bright green flaming X? Of all things appeared on her chest where Jaune presumed her heart to be located as she cried in agony.

"AHHH! God Dammit!"

Minke cried as in pain as the X burst into green hellfire.

"Mink!? What's wrong?"

Jaune sked panicking as the demon cried in agony for another thirty seconds as she finally paused and calmed down. Standing back up as she grunted and cursed out loud.

"I... FUCK!"

She cried out shaking the plane of thier existing as Jaune felt fear drip down his back as the sweating demon got back on her feet.

"Jaune. I am bound by the Gamer contract that you signed ah!"

She cried wincing in pain as the large X burnt away as she glares them balefully, her eyes promising pain beyond his wildest imagination as she ground her teeth.

"And as such, I am bound by the rules of said contract."

She said calmly as he blinked his eyes.

"Which are?"

"For one. I can not lie. Not directly anyway. Any direct question about the Gamer you ask I must answer honestly and truthfully. I can misdirect and mislead, but I can not lie."

"And the others?"
Jaune asked as the thing glared at him.

"I am forbidden to directly harm you and I can not through inaction allow harm to come to you in this realm. I am also charged with protecting you from other denizens of my realm."

"Protecting me? When have you protected me?"

"Since we first met! I kept the lesser deities form your soul-

"So that you could take it for yourself."

Jaune said bitterly as she nodded.

"Winner! Winner! Chicken AH!"

she cried clinic in pain as she sighed.

"And lastly, I can not force, coerce or do anything other than simply offer you the chance to meet Dagon. She has requested a meeting with you that I highly suggest you take. But if you do not take it there will be no negative consequences for you and you will suffer nothing from it nor will your friends or family."

She said bowing her head as Jaune nodded.

"Who is Dagon? Or what?"

Jaune asked as Mink let out a heavy sighed snapping her fingers as the staircase dissipate in a moment.

"Dagon is an elder thing. A being from before time as you know it. She is inhumanly old and archaic. She is the ruler of the deep and master of all that lies below. She is enigmatic and compelling beyond compare-

"Stronger than you?"

Jauena sked as the demoness let out a low, tired sigh.

"Jaune I don't if I told you this but as strong as I appear to be I am very weak."

"Weak?"

"Yes, Jaune I am weak. I can bend reality to my wills, crate and destroy matter at whim and even annihilate your entire plane of existence with not but a thought, but still, I am the weakest of all my fellow denizens."

Minks said as Jaune saw what looked to be a hint of genuine sadness in her eyes. As she looked down defeated at the floors, Jauen began to felly pity for her?

He knew what it was like to fell week and-

Jaune! Are you crazy! She's a demon that ricked you or your soul! Don't feel pity for her! A voice in his head said Jaune grimaced Even still he knew what it felt like to be weak and it sucked. Majorly as he began to speak.

"Mink why do you want me to meet with her so bad?"

"Simple. Dagon is influential in my realms, insanely so as she might have offered me a favor if I would bring you to her. She is a fan of you, you know?"

"You say that but what does that mean and why is she such a fan of me?"

"Honestly? I have no idea. She's enigmatic as she is powerful. Her true motives or intentions are unknown to all but herself so even if I wanted to I could tell you, at least not honestly."

"What do you think her intentions are for me?"

"Honestly? She will probably ask for you to accept specific demonic quest with immeasurable rewards for success and unfathomable punishments for failure.'

"I see...

Jaune said as he looked at his screen as he saw the words missions available on it.

"Missions? The hell are missions?"

He asked as the demoness sighed as she floated over to hie dejected like a balloon with a hole in it.

"Missions meat sack is basically your endgame."

"Endgame? Go on...

"Simple. Evey time you come here, you can give you a mission or more."

"And missions are?"

"Think of them like you attempting to control you. You will tell him something to do, and he will fell a strong desire to do it. Basically, you can set goals for him to accomplish in a given week, and he will attempt to do them."

Mink said as Jaune blinked owlishly.

YES! This is it! Jaune thoguht as he finally! Had a direct line of control to the other hm. With this, he could finally start planning and make an nd achieving goals and-

"How does it work?"

Jaune asked stopping before he did something disastrous like selling his soul for another time.

"Simple. You click missions, and then you type in what you want him to do."

"What do I type?"

"Hell if I know. That's up to you."

Mink said as some of her flippant personality resurfaced as Jaune looked at the blank mission screen with 0/4 on its front.

"Zero out of four?"

"You can have infinite missions going at one time, but for now any number above four will decrease the overall efficacy of them."

"So I can't go over four?"

"You can. You just will lose efficiency on all of them the more you do. You know the saying jack of all trades master of none?"

"Is still better than a master of one."

"Yup."

"What does that have to do with this"

"Don't know. I was just asking but its like if you try to do everything you end up doing nothing. Think of it like that."

Mink said as Jaune frowned at her mind games as he began to type on the screen.

Get closer to Ruby.

He typed in pressing enter as roar? Of jet engines entered his head as the screen said Mission one: Get closer to Ruby.

"So he will attempt to get closer to her.?'

"More or less."

"More or less?"

"Depends. Missions are based on your intellect. The smarter you are, the more the other you will be able to gain from what you type."

"Intellect determines missions?"

"Yup. It's the main factor in them. Think of, missions like this. You have your character; you know his stats so you would most likely send him on a mission that he could succeed. For the time the more specific missions will work best as the looser your directives, the more likely he is to fail."

She said as Jaune gulped

"So what I just said-

"You said to get closer to Ruby. That could mean a lot of things. It could mean be her friend, learn insight, having sex-

"Sex!?"

"Yup. You gave him an extremely open or that was easily open to interpretation. Try not to do that in the future unless you have a very high intellect."

She has as Jaune sighed.
Gain insight into your friends.

Jaune typed as another roar of engines filled his head as Mission: Two. Gain insight into all social contacts.

"Wait! I didn't say all! I just want my friends!"

"I told you. Be specific."

She said as Jaune sighed.

"Fine. Let me see my stats."

He said as he flicking his screen as his stats appeared on the monitor.

"Got it!"

Mink said as Jaune froze as he felt different. It was like a light bulb went off in his head as he swore he felt his brain light up like an Oums'mas tress as he turned to Mink.

"Mink. You said I require a harem to win the Gamer?'

"Yup! Sure do meat sack!"

The thing said already back to her infuriating lackadaisical self as Jaune grinned.

"Mink you also said you could not lie to me if I ask you a direct question?'

"Sure can't."

"Ok then. Mink what is the bare minimum number of girls required to complete a harem?"

Jaune asked as the demon blink three as she began to grin wolfishly at him.

"Oho! Look who's using his head! Good on you Jauney boy! The bare minimum harem number is two! That is the absolute minimal amount of woman needed for you to be called a harem user."

She said as Jaune girned.

Mission three: Get closer to Coco Adel and Velvet Scarletina. Attempt to date them both girls. Establish a firm romantic bond with both of them by the end of the week. Jaune typed as the sound of jets in his head came against main grinned.

"Oh? Are you going to the bunny's honey and the fashionista? Good choice but why?"

The demon asked as Mink grinned.

"Simple Mink. You said I have to get a harem and this is by far the most efficient route to do so."

"Really now?"

"Yes really."

"May I ask why-

"Simple. It's the easiest way to so this damn thing and not die."

Jaune said as Mink gained a devilish grin.

"Elaborate on that would you?"

"It's a problem with polygamy Mink. Even in a world like this its clear that most women do not want to share. And trying to woo multiple of them would end in heartbreak and disaster. Only succeeding in raising my stress and theirs and probably ripping the causal continuum. But! When I have someone like Coco and Velvet, who are both willing to want a multi-relationship and both willing to share? It's the simplest most efficient solution that benefits everyone involved."

Jaune said as the thing took a second to digest what he just said before clapping slowly.

"Good job mesh sack. I am impressed."

"Thank you. Now tell me any other relative information for me to know."

Jaune said as Mink grinned.

"Well, you remember the crisis warnings I showed you."

"Yes. What about them?'
Jaune asked already not liking where this was going as Mink grinned as she snapped her fingers. As a screen appeared in front of him. WARNING! Multiple crises events activated!

The screen read as Jaune balked.

"Mink!? What the hell is this!?"

"That! Is what happens when you get a bit too big for yourself!"

"Mink! What the hell are all of these!? When did they appear and-

"Whoa! Whoa, their meat sac slow down! Look we are running out of time! And I need to say something so let me be blunt. Have you ever heard of the boy and the wolf?"

"No... why?"

"Because this matters! Your crisis with Yang is bad. With a capital, B. Yang broke you Jaune. When he took you on the Gym bench which was really hot by the way, she shattered your will."

"I don't like where this is going...

"And you should not. Bad as that was when you beat her, flawless no less? You escalated things with her to another level."

"And that would be?"

"She gained the sunder perk. If she defeats you in any sanctioned arena battle form now until you graduate you loss the Gamer."

"What?!"

"It's like the boy and the wolf. Little red riding hood walks through the forest to take cookies to his grandma. Wehn he turns home he thinks the guess that the wolf did not catch him. But as he goes to bed, he ears the deep, gruff voice for the wolf from outside as she leered in his window.

"She says: You got lucky today boy. But for how long? You need to make many trips to grandmas house. You need to travel through my forest all alone again and again. And while your luck needs to hold up time after time Mine does not. You need to get lucky every last time you are here while I need to get lucky only once."

"So if I lose to Yang even once in a sanctioned arena fight-

"You lose. Period. She breaks your will, and you drop out of Beacon to become a house husband."

"Dammit! Why didn't I know about this!?'

"It happened during hte week. You only come back here on Fridays so you could not do anything about it."

"Wait! You telling me that a crisis event can pop up in the middle of the week that could end my run and if I don't even know it exists I can just loose!?'

"Yup."

"That's not fair!"

"I never said the thing would be fair. In fact, I had the exact opposite."

Mink said as Jaune frowned before calming himself down as he glared other.

"Mink I want to make a deal."

"Oh? A deal?"

She asked eyes shining as he gulped.

"From now on. Whenever a crisis event like the one with Yang appears. That can ruin my chances ops up that night I want to be taken here so I can better deal with it."

Jaune said as Mink snapped her fingers as purple fame appeared as long piece of paper came out of it.

"Why didn't you say so! Now about what I want-

"If you give me this deal No BS. If you let me do this, I will consider the meeting with Dagon."

'You will meet with ger-

"No. I said I would consider it. I'm not just going to meet with some infinitely powerful creature that I know nothing about. That's ridiculous!"

Jaune said as Mink growled.

"Then we have no deal."

She said as her scroll went away.

"Then you tell Dagon that you failed to get me to meet with her. I'm sure that for someone who is such a big fan of mine will love to hear how you failed her."

Jaune said as Mink's eyes flashed in anger.

"Lister her you pice of-
'AH!"

She screamed as her green X came back to her chest a Jaune walked up to her.

"Mink. I am an Arc. Give me this. Let me come back here whenever this happens again sn I guarantee you! That I will seriously consider getting Dagon. Please."

He said a Mink glared at him before sighing.

"Fine. But I want you to meet her Jaune."

"You say that but is the really nothing you know of why she like me?"

"Well, she did place a substantial wager on you successfully completing the Gamer."

"Wager? What did she bet that was substantial?'

"Honestly? No idea. With her, it must be something unimaginable for the like mo I let alone you. But it must be considered for her to want to meet you so badly."

"Is there anything you can do to prove to me that she means me no harm?"

Jaune asked honestly looking to Mink as she smiled.

"Sure can!"

She said snapping her fingers as a bag? A large burlap sack paper carried on whit cherub wings came out of a purple fire as Jaune blinked owlishly at it.

"This!"

Mink said pulling out small glass vial with a cork in it. I looked like damn potion vile from a fantasy game with the round base and long slender glass tube wooden cork in all as Jaune sighed.

"And that would be?"

"This Jaune is a gift from Dagon herself."

"A gift? What is it?"

Jaune asked as Mink held up the lightly glowing blue liquid.

"This is a class S purifier!"

"And that would be?"

"A class S! S means safe for mortal mind you, is a special elixir that if you take one drop! You will lose all! Negative stats and traits! And you will be cleansed of any an all impurities in your body!"

Mink said as Jane jaw dropped.

She's not lying?

"No way. That's to goo to be true."

"It is! It is! Flesh sack look! You will suffer no! And I mean NO! Negative side effects of drinks this vile! If you take one drop! And I will make sure that you do! You will be rid of ALL! Negative quirks and traits, and be left with nothing but positive ones!"

"And the positive ones that I already have?"

"Completely left alone! You have nothing to lose here, this I swear!" Mink said as she raised her hand as no Green X appeared on her chest as Jaune glared at her.

If what she said was true and he did actually did surprisingly enough believer her was a golden opportunity! If he could lose all negative traits and quirks!? That was a once in a lifetime deal but-

"Addictive."

"What?"

"Is this thing addictive? If I drink form ti will I become addicted and need more of it to function?"

"Of course not! It is safe! Completely safe for mortals! It literally can not hurt you!"

She said as no green X appeared on her.

"Will this affect my impact on the Gamer?'

"Not really."

"Not really?"

"You will lose all negative traits and quirks but besides that? It should not do much."

"Should?"

"It won't negatively affect you or the other you! He will remain in full control of you in the day, and you will still come here at night ok!"

"Mink shake on this. No papers just you and me. I take this drink, you let me come back when there's anew crisis or shit hit's the fan and I will meet with Dagon."

Jaune said as Minks' hand shot out to embrace his own.

"You will meet with Dagon."

"I will."

"You Jaune Arc will on your life! Meet with Dagon to talk with her? This you swear?"

"In return for you bring me here as soon as the Gamer allows when a crisis that threatens me or any other event like that appears."

Jaune said as he grinned.

"Deal."

She sais as her hand flashed purple as Mink grinned.

"So! With that bit of negotiation out of the way, let's go to meet with Dagon right now and-
"Nope. I'm not going."

Jaune said one as Mink's eyes burst into pure fire as Jaune felt a shredding pain on him as a green x appeared on his chest making him cry out in pain.

"What do you mean you are not going!? We had a deal ad-

"When! I said I would meet her I never said when!"

Jaune said as his green X vanished as Mink blinked owlishly at him.

"You... You tricked me?'

"Gotcha!"

Jaune sais Mink fumed.

"Of all the things! God dammit!"

She cursed as Jaune crawled up.

"Not, so fun being tricked no is it?"
"Mortal I will ki-

"AHH!"

She cried as she fell to the ground as Jaune picked up the vial.

One drop should not hurt? Right?
He thought as he popped the cork of the bottle. As he did a soothing burst of air came from the vile as a soothing hand gripped his chin as he felt his mind began to slip.

I.. I need one drop...

He thoguht taking the bottle to his throat, without pausing as he made sure to only let one drop of the liquid fall into his mouth.

As the light blue liquid fell on him, he felt his brain began to melt as for a second Jaune was frozen like it was wrapped in stasis. As for some men, Jaune felt like he a ripe dot of reality before being sent back with no hesitation as he blinked owlishly.

"Well, that was anticlimactic-

"AH!?"

Jaune yelled as he suddenly fell to the floor with an unearthly shriek for his mouth, as he slammed to the ground as his eyes flew to the back of his head as his mouth began to foam as his stat screen began to shift violently.

"Trait Evolved! Passive changed from Kinetic telepathy to Empath!
New traits added! Heart on your sleeve! You will show all emotions freely and unashamedly!

Broken dream! Will seek consul with all social contact above tightly for emotional support! Dramatically raised all social levels!

New skill! Domination! Can now use your semblance to influence the minds of others around you!

New defining trait! True Mortal

The screen said as all the new traits came with bight blue and with a massive pad loc with the symbol of Dagon written on them. Like a bright blue hellfire enveloped them as Jaune twitched on the floor.

"Well... that was unexpected."

Mink said as she blinked owlishly to the boy.


Raven Branwen was known for many things. Being a strong, merciless fighter that was one of if not the most formidable bandits in all of Mistral. Being the former leader of the infamous Branwen tribe. The sister to the now long dead brother of hers Qrow. A brother who she had was will always love, and a death that haunted her daily.
The first wife of Tai Yang-Xiao-Long. And the mother of thier child. Yang Xiao-Long Branwen, the pride of her life. While also being the second mother of Ruby Rose, the daughter of Tai and Summer Rose. Her best friend and capable warrior. Raven was many things strong, brave compassionate and now a bit annoyed as for some assinine reason her husband was nowhere to be found when she awoke in the Beacon guest rooms.

As her husband and lover had left thier shared bed sometime in the night to do Oum knows what and Summer's endless worrying was driving her up a wall as they went to breakfast in Beacon on the final day of parents week.

"Oh, my goddess! Raven! Why won't you just open your portal! Tai could be in danger! Aren't you worried about him!?"

"Summer. Tai is our husband. I have seen him fight and kill a Deathstalker single handily. I'm sure he just went out for a bit. You worry too much."

Ravne said coolly as Summer fumed.

"No, I don't! He could be in trouble! What would you do if something happens to him!?"

"Nothing will happen Summer. You worry too much."

'How do you know that?!"

"I know it Summer."

"But how?! How are you so sure that he is ok and not dying in a ditch somewhere!?'

"I... I just know... alright?"

Raven said sighing as the first inkling of doubt crept into her mind. Tai was stong. Strong enough to beat her in a fight. There was no way something could happen to him in such a short span as one night. Right? She thought as the first bit of doubt crept into her mind and-
"I'm sure he will be fine. He looks strong."

The voice of Marcus Nikos said as the other parents visiting Beacon and her potential in-laws said as she looked at the man with black hair green eyes and an odd gait. The man talked like he had been injured recently, but she smelled no blood on him. Strange, Raven thoguht as she eyed the husband of Anetha.

"He speaks the truth. Beacon has good security there is no need to worry."

The warrior Anetha said as Summer pales.

"But! What if-

"Summer. Tai is your and her husband. He is fine. I mean he packs a helluva punch.'

Caitlin Arc the woman who touched her man in the arena sais as Ravne nodded in agreement.

"Tai is fine. Of this I am sure."

Raven said with grim finality silencing the conversation as she begged Oum to keep him safe.

As the group of parent finally came to the end of their journey, the Beacon cafeteria Raven noticed that it was oddly loud insides? As she heard scream shouts and other yells coming from the cafeterias as she opened the door and-

FWAM!

Raven paused as soon as she opened the door a pie? Of all things smacked her in the face as someone threw a pie at her making her seethe.

"What the?"

"RUBY!?'

Summer yelled at the top of her lungs as Raven burned the pie from her face as her eyes glowed red and-

"Your death will be swift! It will be just, and it will be delicious!"

Ruby yelled out loud. Stand tall amid a pile of broken tables covered in ketchup and guacamole as she pointed across the overhang chaos of the cafeteria as a massive food fight had erupted, as she pointed to her fellow leader and object of her own daughter's affection Jaune.

"Team JNPR! Stand as one!"

He yelled holding a baguette?! Of all things with a cafeteria tray in his other hand as he pointed to the enemy team right as Ruby began to twirl?

As she began to ran around and around in rapid circles creating a while wind of food, debris and evens students. As he shot forward sending the howling maelstrom at Jaune and-

Ruby cried out suddenly as Jane got beneath? Her tornado of condiments as he slid behind her taking out his hatched and slamming it into her hood yanking her off her feet and making her gasp.

"No capes!"

He yelled making Ruby fall flat on her face as all the food she was carrying fell on her and her team in a matter of seconds, in an avalanche of food. As Raven noticed her daughter was sent from the fight, but a large Yang shaped hole was int he ceiling that ended with a team JNPR victory as the food smeared members of his team shouted in joy.

"We stained their knees!"
"I knew we could win."

"I am the queen of this castle."
"Good work team JNPR! Now-

"PILEDRIVER!"

A familiar blonde voice yelled TAI!? Leaped out of nowhere slamming on a massive muscled Beacon student with a watermelon!? Of all things as he stood up covered head to toe in ketchup, mustard, mayo, and lettuce as he grinned like a fool.

"YEAH! WE GOT EM!"

The man yelled as Raven balked.

"TAI!?"

"OH! Hi, honey! I-

"Children! Do not play with your food."
The steely voice of Glynda came as everyone froze and gulped as the dean seethed.


Sunlight. Jaune thought as he opened his eyes yawning heavily as he awoke from his sleep. Another dreamless night huh?

He thoguht to himself as he tried to get out of his bed before a strong frorce gripped him by his shoulders and held him close.
"Stay."
A voice said in he mind as he turned around were a beautiful face slept next to him as Jaune blushed.

That's right. Pyrrha slept with me last night.

Jaune thought blushing as the beautiful partner of his wrapped a well-muscled arm around his waist and pulling him closer to her thin nightgown asking him blushing as his face ended up in her chest.

"Don't move. You belong with me."

Pyrrha thoguht in her sleep as he fought to extricate him for her bountiful soft grip and-

"Awake? You look cute when you struggle you know?"
Pyrrha thought as Jaune turned not to see his partner bright emerald eyes staring at him.

"Morning Pyrrha.

"Morning Jaune."

"Cutey. You look good when your hair's a mess. I just wish I could be the one to mess it up."

She thought as Jaune felt? A heat wave flows through him as his body's temperature began to rise. As he blushed at her.

"I-

Jaune froze as Pyrrha placed her lips to his making him freeze as she captured his lips in a moment making the boy's mind go blank as she pushed her insanely soft lips of hers to his own catching his with them before standing up. As she winked at the stunned boy.

"I have to use the bathroom."

Pyrrha said as her gorgeous figure left Jauen bed and-

"I would not mind if you joined me in the shower."
Pyrrha thought as Jaune froze.

The hell? How did I-
"In fact next time I will insist that you join me."
She thought from across the room.

Did my semblance change?! Jaune thought as the gorgeous teen walked inot the bathroom door as the turned to the sleeping forms of Nora and Ren both in the separate beds after their nightly activites.

As Jaune looked at Ren, he focusing his eyes as he felt a whip? Of some type is his head as he felt something fly off and latch onto Ren.

"Nora. I like Nora-
BLOOD! BLOOD! I WILL DRINK FROM YOU SKULLS! Nora is nice."

Ren thought in his sleep as Jaune froze as his telepathy had changed to some type of range mode. As he looked at Nora, removing the lasso as he was now calling it from Ren and drawing it back to him.

He focused his eyes on her before tossing it.

"Pancakes. Ren. Pancakes. Ren. Legs. Break. Food. Pyrrha. Jaune. Study. Ren."

I expected that. Jaune thoguht as he looked at his hand what am I-

Jaune froze as he felt it. A fist slammed into his stomach as he felt like he had been shot. As a horrifically terrible wave of nausea washed over him, he wanted to vomit as-

"Jaune! I'm done if you-

"Jaune?!"

Pyrrha said and thought as Jaune rushed past her into the bathroom slamming the door behind her and began to vomit in the toilet.


"BLERG!"

Jaune vomited in the toilet hurling the guts out form his inside as he felt his insides lurch.

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! What did I do!? What did I do!? Jaune thought as his stomach voided its contest as tears fell from his face.

I killed! I killed people! I killed the good guys! What am I doing?! Jaune thought as he vomited in the sink as tears fell from his face. Allow defeated moan left his body as he flushed the toilet crying openly as he stumbled on the mirror where his reflection was waiting.

"Jaune?! Jaune?! What's the matter?"

It asked as Jaune cried into the sink as he felt himself freak out his brain slapped himself.

"Get it together Jaune! Your semblance changed and this is probably just a side effect of it! Do not panic and sing!"

His reflection said as Jaune took a deep breath calming himself as he began to breath.

"~Said a scarecrow sitting on a pole~"

Jaune began to sing as he felt his stress drop.

It seemed like it took hours but Jaune finally did it. He finished reciting his song. As his breathing dropped as he felt calmness resurface in his body.

"That's it Jaune. Calm down. Let's think through this ok? Your semblance has changed. That's a fact. We can work with this, we just need to-

"Jaune!? Are you ok!?" The insanely worried voice of his partner came from the door as his brief lull form his storm left his body as he fell to his knees and began to shake.


"Jaune!? Jaune?!"

Pyrrha shouted as her partner ran int the bathroom where she heard vomiting followed by crying!? Of all thing as-

"Pyr? What's wrong? Where's Jaune?'

Nora asked sleepily as she rose from her bed as she got out of her bed.

"Nora? What's happening?"

Ren asked as he got for his bed as Pyrrha panicked.

"It's Jaune! He ran into the bathroom and-

Pyrrha froze as she heard a deep cry come from the bathroom. Like someone had just seen the death of thier parents as she now knew her partner was sobbing.

"Jaune!? Jaune! Are you ok?"

Pyrrha asked as she opened the door not caring for this privacy, his partner was in danger and-

"Pyrrha!"

The boy yelled flying out of the bathroom and wrapping around her wrist. Crying?! Openly into her chest as he will open in her breast as Pyrrha panicked

"Jaune?! Jaune what's wrong!?'

Pyrrha asked shaking her crying partner as Nora and Ren shot out of bed, both with worried looks on their faces.

"Jaune? What the problem?'

Nora asked as she walked over to them not noticing what the hell was wrong and-
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Jaune said sobbing into Pyrrha chest as the spartan panicked.

"Sorry!? Sorry for what?! What happened what did you do!?"

She asked as Jaube as Ren began to talk-

"Jaune! You need to call into work today!"

Ren said through gritted teeth as he made a slicing motion of his neck as Jauen began to seize as he fought to regain control.


Pyrrha was stressed. For one Jaune her partner and crush were shaking in his seat barely able to eat his breakfast as the boy had a literal mental breakdown in the morning. He had cried in her chest for over half an hour and while having a crying boy in her chest was usually her fantasy made a reality but this?

When, the crying boy, was someone she cared about? It was a draining and tiring experience. As she finally calmed the boy down even if he refuses to tell her what was soon making her worry only grow in size as they not aye their briefs and-

"Hey, there my fellow Blonde man! How the hell are you!?"

A happy voice belonging to Tai? Yang and Ruby's dad said as she slid next to the skin boy s Jaune blinked rapidly at him.

"Ummm good?"

Jaune said, lying through his teeth, as the shaking wide-eyed blonde boy that was making the entire table have a minor panic attack lied as the tall blonde mad grinned.

"Great to hear! With that long face, I just about asked you what was Blonde?"

He said raising his eyebrow as Pyrrha glared. Did he just pun at him? Does he know what he's

"DAD! Don't pun at Jaune!"

Ruby whined from across the label blush like mad as Tai arginine.d

"What's wrong Ruby? Are my little Rosebuds felling a bit wilted?"

He asked Ruby groaned.

"Dad! That's not funny! Jaune doesn't like it!"

Ruby said as Jaune froze as he began to girn.

"Actually Ruby. I think your dad is... Pretty Punny."

Jaune said as Tai frzoe as a large smile came to his face.

"Oh? Are you a fellow aficionado of the art of the pun?" Tai asked wiggling his eyes at Jaune who for the first time felt the tsunami of voices breaking down his head fall away.

"Not really. Although to be fair I did study them for two years on the road though."
Jaune said as Tai cocked his head his short blonde hair falling to the side as he did.

"You did? How was that?"
He asked Jaune grinned.
"It was kind of like that time I ate a watch."
"The time you ate a watch?"
"It was very time-consuming."
Jaune said as the man's face split up as a grin came across it as Pyrrha grimaced and Ruby groaned.

"Hey, there you go! You know a thing or two about puns! You are just like my daughter!"

"Really? I don't know. Don't you think Yang is like my book on gravity dust?"

"Gravity dust?'

Tai asked as Jaune grinned.

"She's hard to put down."

Jaune as the man began to beam as Yang leaped over the table

"Hey! You two want to hear a bad joke?"
Yang asked eyes shining as Jaune and Tia grinned as she sister groaned.
"Not again...

"Paper."
Yang said flatly as both Jaune and Tai blinked owlishly at her.
"Paper?"
"That' s a joke?"
"I know right! It's pretty tear-able right?"

Yang asked wiggling her eyes brow as Ruby face planted in her cafeteria try, Weiss looked affronted and Blake looked ready to stab her.
"My dear daughter. Did you just challenge me to a Pun war?"
"Only if you two can keep up."

Yang asked grinned as Tai began to smirk. "Well, then my dear I must inform you that just like when your mother buys me boxers, this will be brief!'
Tai said making Jaune and Yang beam as the rest of the table san Ren sighed, as the boy looked pleased as a murderous hummingbird.

"Hah! He said brief! Like the underwear! That's funny! Don't you get it, Nora?"
He asked poking his partner who growled in response making his hand lurch back as Jaune went on.
"Mister Branwen-
"Tai! Call me Tai! Mister Branwen sounds so formal!"

"Well, Tai, I think you need to go to the barber because your head has a bunch of running rabbits on it."

"I have running rabbits on my head?"
"Yeah! There's a receding hairline!"
Jaune said as the man grinned as Yang smirked.

"Oh please! That's not so bad! Did I tell you two how I lost my first job?"

"No."
They both said as Ruby pulled her ears as Blake pulled out her sword...
"Well! I was working at a bank in Vale, but I lost my job when my client asked me to check her balance and I pushed her over-

FWAP!

Yang froze as a tray cafeteria tray fully loaded with food slammed into her face as Nora tossed a fully packed cafeteria tray into her.

"No. Puns."

Nora said dry her teeth grinding against one another as Tai sighed.

"Oh, my...

He said as Yang's hair exploded into fire.

Yang yelled as her body broke into flames flipping over the table they sat on as the world turned into chaos.


"Squires! I have seen all I need to see. These interlopers have dared to commit the awful sin of puns. There can be no forgiveness. Knight Jaune I know you have strayed from the path of the righteous and this is your one chance at redemption. Show them no mercy, give no quarter. Your queen demands this of you."

Nora said in a calm, collected voice as she glared imperiously down to the flowing maelstrom ahead of her. All around her teens were flying food, and condiments at one another as the entire Beacon cafeteria erupted into chaos.

As the battle raged on Nora stood proudly above her subjects. Her knight, bishop, and rook stood ready to defend their queen and-

"NEVER! You will never break us! Your reign will come to a delicious end today!"

Ruby yelled pointing a milk carton at Nora as her sister burned as Weiss and Blake sighed picking up a line of sausages and a swordfish as they pointed them at JNPR as Nora nodded sadly.

"So be it. No mercy squires. They have trespassed for the last time. Now go forth! And show them why I am the queen of this castle."

Nora said as team JNPR nodded as Jaune pointed his sword at them.

"Team JNPR! Fight!"

Jaune yelled as the two teams began to charge.


"Valkyrie! You are mine!"

Yang yelled barreling forward in a ball of fire with twin roasted chickens!? On both of her hands as Nora rushed her. Swing a watermelon she impaled on a piece of rebar towards the enraged brawler.

"Too easy."

Nora said twirling her watermelon hammer as she swung into Yang's swing hitting the girl in the guts lifting her off the floor.

"Fore"

Nora shouted before sending Yang flying up and through the roof. With a mighty crash as she went soaring into the sky.


"Sorry, Weiss! I hope we can still be friends!"
Ren said holding his twin leaks at the heires who gave him a withering glare.

"Lie Ren! Don't you dare-

"AHH!"

Weiss shouted as the boy stomped on a bottle fo ketchup spraying the heiress hair with the condiments dying her immaculate dress red. And covering her hair in crimson syrupy liquid as the heiress felt a blood vessel pop in her skull.

"You are dead!"

Weiss cried, twirling her swordfish as a wave of cafeteria tray began to hover behind her as she raised well over three dozen trays at him before swinging her fish down. And sending them all hurdling at him at once.

"Hey! No fair!"

Ren said ducking and dipping out of the way of the tidal wave of gray trays, loaded with half-finished lunches. Diving and rolling out of thier path as he desperately tried to avoid getting creamed literally.

Only got so far as one of the trays found his face. Slamming into him with a wet whack! Painting the boys face white with mayonnaise before another discovered his stomach then another one found his chest and another as the boy was buried under a mountain of food. As the heiress grinned as she twirled her fish to her side as she smirked in triumph.

"Hah! That will teach you to mess with a Schnee-

"Ren!"

Nora said before leaping to Weiss's side making the girl's mouth drop as she slammed into her side with her hammer sending the girl flying across the room crashing into Ruby as the two smacked into the floor. Creating a mushroom cloud of condiments as Nora grinned at her handiwork.


"Blake."

"Pyrrha."
"Do we really have to do this?"

Blake asked ducking out of the way of Pyrrhas baguette strike as she grinned. Easily avoiding the girl's sharp bread thrust as Pyrrha smiled at her.

"Yes. Yes, we do."

She said not seeing reason as Blake frowned.

"If you say so."

Blake said before shooting out her chain of sausage in a poor imitation of her own weapons whip. As she tried to wrap Pyrrha's arm in her sausage links to disarm her, as the Mistrali grinned as the table glowed black? As a wave of trays hovered all around the faunus, before slamming into Blake sending her sitting back as he amber eyes widened in panic.

"Merrow!?"

The girl meowed!? As Blake was sent flying back as Jaune lept up, on the table looking down at a down heiress and a grimace reaper smiling at the downed girl as he held his loaf of bread to her.

"Give up Ruby! I have the high ground!"

Jaune yelled to the mustard-stained reaper as she grimaced.

"Never!"

She shouted as Jaune grimaced. "Give up Ruby! It's over!"

"You underestimate my power!"

Ruby said before taking a deep breath and twirling into Jaune in a tornado of roses.

"Now!"

His reflection said in a discarded cafeteria tray as Jaune slid back on the tray narrowly avoiding the twirling girl's insane attack as she attempted to kamikaze him with milk cartons.

"Sorry! Not sorry!"

Jaune said striking her with his baguette sending her flying back as she hissed at him.

"Enough is enough! Justice will be swift! It will be sweet! And it will be delicious!"

Ruby said running in a small circle as she began creating a tornado!? Of food trays, and even students as Jaune's mouth dropped.

"Jaune? What do we do about that?'

Nora asked as Ren finally got out from under the mountain of trays as balked he balked at the sight of the literal tornado of food debris.

"The hell?!"

"This is quite troublesome."

Pyrrha said frowning as Jaune grimaced.

"JNPR! To me!"

He said as his team fell back to him as Ruby came for him in a whirlwind of motion. Attempting to slam into them with a hurricane of food debris as the boy smirked.

Don't show off, Jaune thoguht smugly taking a try from an empty table and slid under her using it as a sled. As he charged the tornado of food tossing his tray to the ground sliding under the first wave of wind as he saw Ruby's weakness.

"No capes!"

Jaune said slamming his hatchet down into RUby's cape making her gak! As he yanked her off her feet as her males of fos slammed down covering her team in debris as team JNPR claimed victory.

"We win."

"Yeah! We stained their knees!"

"Victory."

His team said as Jaune smiled and-

"Children! Do not play with your food."

Glynda said with a vein appearing on he fore east eh family of RWBY and JNPR gave their children various stares ranging from incredulity, anger disappointment, and indifference as-

"AHHHH!"

A voice yelled as Yang fell through her hole in the ceiling slamming into the ground with w wet smack! As she groaned loudly

'Did... Did we win?''
Yang asked not able to raise her head from the her shaped crater in the ground as Raven shook her head.
As Glynda fumed.


"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so! So! Sorry! This won't happen again! I promise you!"

"I believe you, Summer-

"I know! But I'm still sorry! I did not raise her like this, and this will never happen again!"

Summer said bowing profile to Glynda as the dean sighed heavily. While most of the damage done to the cafeterias was superficial and the Beacon maintenance crews could take care of it, the waste of food was sad.

People starved in this world, and these children suit water dit about puns? That-

"I also apologize. I do not know the role my daughter played in this, but it must have been significant."

Raven said bowing once as Yang growled.

"Hey! She started it!"

"And you finished it. Not only that you lost!"
Ravne growled at her daughter before shooting up a hand and forcing Yang to bow with her as Yang gasped.

"Hey! Watch the hair!"

"We are so Sorry!"
Summer said and this time pulling Ruby's ear down with her making her squeal in pain as the dean sighed.

"It's fine. Just do try not to play with your food next time. Ok?"

she asked as Summer nodded rapidly.

"Thank you so much and-

"It is fine Summer. Just make sure your kids to the next calls on time. It is the last class of parents day, and I'd prefer if it lasted in one piece."

The dean said before turning around leaving the student and parent to go to class as she sighed as she began to fix the cafeteria.

"At least you won."

"Marcus. Do not encourage her. She acted like a child."

Pyrrha parrot's chided as they attempted and failed, to break the dark atmosphere of the groups. As the teen and pert owed back to the combat arent the last and only class of the day as parents week came to a close.

All eyes were on the shaking blonde boy as he looked ready to break.

Jaune was in agony. He heard them! He felt them! He had every thought in his head as after the fight his semblance kicked back into high gear as he heard all opinions of those around him. As he tried to calm himself down. He needed to think logically about this. Hearing all the voices around him was jarring and not comfortable. But when he was fighting in the cafeteria he lost that ability. Maybe it was time specific? Maybe it bleeds off in a fight? Maybe-

"What's wrong with him?"

Ruby

"Jaune? Are you feeling well?"

Weiss

"Jaune! Keep it together! You can't give us away!"

Ren
"What the hell did you do yesterday? You came back in blood with the worst half-assed lie I've ever heard, but this is ridiculous."

Blake

"Oh, please be ok! I know you are in trouble, so please tell me what's the matter! I want to help!"

Pyrrha
"The boy is in pain. He may need help, but his problem appears to be a mental spiritual and not physical. That is not my specialty, why is this so hard? Summer was always the kind one. I'm the disciplining parent."

Raven

The voices and thoughts of his friends and family filled his mind as he felt the twirling emotion of fear, anger, worry, anxiety, love, despair.

All of them flowing into him in one tidal wave of emotional angst as Jaune wished he was back in a fight where he felt his mind clear as they talked in the arena.


"For the next fight! I will ask for a volunteer form the parent of the audience-

"I will do it."

Raven said standing up in an instant as the woman answered before Tai got a chance to. As the man sighed in disappointment as she walked down to the arena as GoodWitch went on with her announcement.

"Now. This fight is a practice battle of trained huntress versus a student. Is there any student who wishes to volunteer-

"I will do it!"
Jaune shouted unable to take the swirling cacophony of voices in his head and wanted to test his theory if fighting could stop the wave of thoughts and emotions as he tried to cover his ears as the dean frowned.

"Jaune... are you sure you want to do this? Raven is a trained huntress-

"I'm fine!"
The boy yelled sprinting past his teammates as he ran to the arena floor.

"What?! Raven be nice!"
"Mom I swear to Oum if you give him so much s a scratch!"

"Jaune versus aunt Raven!? Yay!"
"Oh! Go get her Jaune! Just keep your shit together!"

"Brave. Not very smart. But brave."

"Please! Be ok! I don't know what wrong with you but please! Be ok!"

The thoughts of his team said in his head as he made his way to the arena.

"The ruse for this fight are simple. You will fight till one of your aura is down to a quarter. Nothing less."

The dean said as Raven nodded drawing a bright red sword as she smiled at Jaune.

"I agree. Come boy let's see how strong you are.'

"I have to hold back on him. He's only a child and my son in law. It would not due to make him lose a limb. ALthoguht I could chop off a leg or two. Then maybe he would be less inclined to make risky decisions."
Raven thought with what Jaune knew to be complete sincerity. As he squinted his eyes as the waves of voices and emotions began to fall off as he took a deep breath.

"Jaune... are you feeling well?'

GoodWitch asked as she rubbed his forehead. As Jaune nodded, narrowing his eyes as in concentration as he focused and forced his lasso around Raven's mind. As he felt the tug of it around her thoguht, the others around him ceased to fill his head as the pain left his temples and he let out a content sigh.

"I'm fine MissGoodwitch."

Are you ok? Jaune thought as the dean had dark long bags under her twin eyes as she looked like she had not slept in a week.

"I only need to focus."

Jaune said taking a deep breath as he felt his hand reach down inot his ankles. As he took out his hatchet and knife, ignoring Roman's advice as he drew his real weapons and pointed them at Raven.

"Good. You are using your real weapons this time. I don't know why you were holding back, at the earlier time but this is fine."

She said pointing her sword at Jaune as Glynda raised her wand.

"Branwen! ready?"

"Yes."

"Arc! ready?"

"Yes, mam."

He said as he nodded.
"Begin!"

She said as the fight started.


No one moved. Jaune and Reaven stayed perfectly still as he and the woman both drew their weapons and pointed them at one another. Neither moving as Jaune read her mind.

"Keeping a defensive position? Not bad. You know you are fighting a superior opponent and are waiting for them to make a move. A smart move if not for the fact that initiation wins battles."

Raven thought as she suddenly blurred forward at Jaune. Crimson sword raised high as she went for a neck strike on him.

She's holding back. Jaune thoguht as he ducked her first attack parrying it with his hatchet. Knowing full well that he had no hope of blocking it as her sword strike diluted as it was still nearly tore his limb from his socket as he gulped in pain.

Before slashing out with his knife attempt to stab her in her kneecap. A pointless attack as the woman easily jumped back from his attack. Easily moving to a safe distance and smiling at him.

"That was a good decision Jaune. Parrying but not blocking. You know how to fight."

Ravne said smiling as Jaune felt pride, joy, and contentment. Flowing from her as the positive emotions flowed off of her as Jaune smiled back.

As he backed up from the woman. Twirling his knife in his hand easily as he smiled at her.

"I try."

He said smugly as Raven smiled.

"Tyr to block this."

She said dashing forward as she sliced at him in what was nowhere near as diminished attack as she blurred faster than his eyes could follow land a devasting offensive strike on his shoulder. Making him cry in pain as his aura dropped twenty percent as she landed a knee to his gut. Making his eye pull out as he kicked him back leaving his aura at near yellow.

"Mom!?"

"Raven!"

Yang and Summer yelled out as Jaune felt anger, worry, and irritation. Followed by the long list of the myriad of emotions flowing from the stands as he grimaced seeing his aura in the high seventies. As he focused his lesson on Raven.

He needed to fight. And he needed to win. Raven was beyond him in every way shape and form as the woman smirked at him confidently.

"What's wrong boy? Are you getting cold feet? Cat got your tongue?"

Raven asked as Jaune remembered the advice of his mentor.

"Kid! If you are fighting someone bigger, better and stronger than you! The first thing you got to do is fight dirty!"

Qrow said as Jaune began to grin.

You got this Jaune. Just like Qrow taught you!

He thought running forward at Raven throwing caution to the wind in an apparent suicide attack on the woman who raised a lone eyebrow at him.

"Oh? Putting all your eggs in one basket? Not bad but pointless. I'll make this painless."

Raven said as Jaune charged her as she drew her sword to her shoulder angeling it at him like a spear as she grinned.

"This will end it."
She shouted as Jaune swung his hatchet down, in a brutal downward strike. That Raven easily moved around to strike past as her crimson eye smile in bemusement Jaune smirked.

Gotcha.

He thought as Raven jabbed her sword at his chest as Jaune fell. Raven's expression was almost comical as Jaune saw her eyes widen in shock as Jauen fell. He let his feet slip under him and allowed his body to collapse as he fell flat on his face. falling head first to the ground as the woman froze.

Raven's face widened in worry as she saw the boy fall dead on his face as she dropped her guard. Too easy. Jaune thought midway to the ground as he swung his hatchet to his left. As he timed the swing to hit her ankle right after he hit the fought as his hatched took her in her shins.

Taking her in her ankle, striking true as the woman cried out in pain, before falling to one knee as, Surprise. Wonder. Intrigue.

Jaune felt her wet as the hatchet made her knee fall as he stabbed his knife into the back of her knee. Making her cry out in pain as she fell to both knees.

As she cried, Jaune remembers the takedown Qrow taught him. As he took dawn Ravneks knees and swung his hatchet to her neck-
Shock. Confusion. Fear. Nostalgia?

Jaune thought as Raven felt an overwhelming sense of warm nostalgia? Of all emotions as Jaune stabbed her in the neck and-
Death.

Jaune felt the cold hand of death on his shoulder. As Raven blurred out of existence. Vanishing completely before reappearing as her red sword appeared on his neck. Poing his juggle making a thin line ob blood run down his neck.

"Give."

It was not a request.
The woman said as Jaune held up his weapons,

"That move! Where did he learn that!? I only taught that attack to one person! One! And Qrow is long since dead so where the hell did you learn that?!"

Raven thought as fear, confusion, and anxiousness fell from her face as Jaune blinked in confusion as he grinned.

"Qrow? He's a friend of mine."

Jaune said as Raven's mouth dropped as her blade left his that for only a second. A second was all he needed.

Too slow. Jaune thought as he spun in her grip delivering an elbow to her side making her grunt in pain before he turned around to face her. As he twirled around to see her bewildered face gasped in surprise and shock. Before he jumped, onto Raven climbing her like a tree taking her completely by surprise as he headbutted her.

WHAM!

Jaune headbutted the woman taking her comely by surprise as her face grimaced in pain as Jaune bit his tongue.

WHAP!
Another head but more pain.
WHAP!

He slammed into her head again as the shocked women's face glazed over as Jaune grimaced in pain.

WHAP!

Blood entered his mouth as he felt his nose break and burst in a bright bloom of pain. As hot blood poured over his face and-
"Enough!"
Glynda yelled as Jaune was wrapped in a purple energy field as he was yanked away from the student's women with aura in the low eighties as Jaune was in the mid-Seventies!?

He thoguht as he noticed the blood spilling from his face as he saw that his nose was broken and his face was cracked a bit as Glynda fumed.

"Mister Arc! Why on Monty's green Remnant did you headbutt your opponent!?"

She asked as Fear. Worry. Pain. Loss. Regret. Despair. Hopelessness. Filled her mind as Jaune shrugged.

"I was trying to win."

He answered simply as the dean frowned.

"You do know you were only fighting until seventy percent right?!"
She demanded as Jaune shrugged.

" I forgot."

He said as the dean rubbed her head as an armored hand came over his shoulder. "You are strong. My daughter chose well."
Raven said with Pride. Trust. Warmth. Respect. Come from her as she put a hand on his shoulder and she smiled peacefully at him.
"You made me feel a bit of fear there. I'm glad you are as strong as you are."
Raven said smiling as she bent down to whisper into his hear.

"You said Qrow when you fight. Who is that?"
She asked as Jaune felt, Loss. Fear. Anger. Doubt. Love. In her mind, as he blinked owlishly at her. "He was my old mentor. He's here at Beacon right now actually."

Fear. Sadness. Finality.

"I see. He is not my Qrow then."
Raven said frowning as she smiled as Glynda sighed.

"Class! As you can see! When fighting a superior opponent using unorthodox attack patterns can sometimes be of great benefit to you. Especially when you have little options."

The dean said as she sighed.

"Mister Arc. You are bleeding, but you are mostly fine. Do you wish to continue to fight?"
"He does not!"

The voice of his partner shouted as Jaune felt. Worry, Fear, Panic. Angst. Come from her as he sighed.

"Yes. Yes, I do."

"Jaune!"

"As you wish. Though I don't like it. Is there anyone who wishes to challenge-
"ME!"

Yang is jumping up as the dean nodded.

"So be it. Fight ill your aura is in the red. Normally I would not allow you to battle miss Xial-long. But you aura is actually less than his after your... flight I will allow it. This once."

"Hell yeah!"

Yang shouted jumping up in the air and grinning as she jumped off her bleachers and jogged down to the arena.

"Miss GoodWitch?"

"Yes, Jaune? What's wrong? Do you wish to not participate?"

Hope. Clarity. Reason.

"No. Can I get my other set of weapons? Please?"

Jaune asked as the dean blinked.

"Why do you want your other set of weapons? You seem quite competent with your kife and hatchet?"

"I want to mix it up."

Jaune said as the dean blink twice and nodded. "Very well I-

"I'll get them! Let me borrow your scroll!"

Ruby said whirling down tot he area in a shower of roses.

Worry. Panic. Fear.

"Thanks, Ruby. Try to run fast K?'

"You got it!"

She said blurring out of the arena ina torrent of roses as Yang walked into the floor.

"Sup Blondie! You ready to Yang?"

She asked winking at him educt as Jaune felt Irritation. Anger. Jealousy. Form the stands and. Confident. Trust. Lust?

Of all things as Jaune felt a rising heat in his chest as Yang licked her lip hungrily as Jaune loosened his tie on her mother and tossed his lasso on Yang.

As the cacophony of voices left his head as he latched onto Yang as her thoughts entered his head.

"Goddess dammit! I'm going to ruin you! You think your hot stuff? Just cause you got a hit on my mom? Oh, I'm going to have fun with you Arc. Just you wai-

"I'm back!"

Ruby said blurring back into the room with Crocea Mors in her hands as Jaune smiled.

"Thanks, Ruby. You're a lifesaver."

Happiness. Pride. Joy. Angst.

"Thanks!"

Ruby said before blinking twice and blurred back to her seat.

"Xiao-Long! Ready?"

"Yup!"

"It's Branwen."

Raven said tiredly form the stand as Tai rubbed her shoulders as Summer looked on to the fight worriedly.

"Arc! Ready?"

"As I ever will be."

"Very well. Begin!"

She said as Yang wanted to time slamming inot him into a ball fo fire.


THUD!

"KEGH!"

Jaune grunted in pain as he felt his arm snap! As Yang's punch landed on his shield with enough force to almost dislocate his joint as his aura dropped by seven!?

Percent with one hit. "That was just a block. Imagine if she really hit us."

His reflection said as Jaune grimaced as he slid back as-
Bang! Bang!

Yang fired twice. Blasting her shotgun gauntlets at him making Jaune grimace as he felt hte pellets dig into his aura. Taking it down by another five percent. As he was now firmly in the high sixties as Yang grinned

"What's wrong Blondie? You feeling a bit burnt out?"

"I'm going to take you to my room. Tie you to my bed and rip your clothes off you cute ass with my teeth!"

Yang thought to make Jaune blush as he raised his sword to her.

"Take you time Jaune. She's stronger and faster than us. We need to play this safe."

His reflection said as he nodded.
"Right."

He said as he picked up his sword placing it on his shield, pointing it over the top as Yang smirked.

"Your fancy shield won't' help!"

"Here I come!"

She thought as she shot forward traveling to him in a leaping arc as she slammed into him as Jaune dove to his right. Barely avoiding the WHAM!

Of Yang slamming into the ground. Cracking it apart and creating a five-foot hole in it. As Jaune dove back at her. Swingin his sword sharply to her prone form and slicing into the back of her leg.

Making her cry out before he rolled out of the way or a brutal return punch that split the ground in five as he narrowly avoided being pummeled by the girl.

"Nice one Blondie!"

"Don't get your hopes up! I'm going to get you back when I put you on your own!"

She thought slamming fore frig her gauntlets as loud Bangs!

Of shotgun, fire filled the air as Jaune grimaced not raising his shield fast enough as he caught a full blast of pellets to his face. Sending him flying backward in a skittering mass as Yang took his aura down to forty, as his vision blurred and his ears rang from the vicious onslaught of hot shrapnel as he heard Yang laughing at him from across the arena.

"Hey there Blondie! You're looking a bit wane-

Yang froze as Jaune began to glow. Literally, the boy was burning a bright yellow color as his body began to light up like an Oums'mas tree.

She watched as his aura began to glow gold? Of all things as the boy snarled at her before he shot, and Yang meant shot forward.

Moving at near Ruby speeds toward her sligh out with his sword, not giving her any time to react as he blurred past her guard making her blick twice and scream.

As he sliced her back making her cry out before a shield struck her face. Knocking her off her feet before a sword strike hit her gut. Making her cry out n pain as she flew back. Skittering back on the balls of her feet gripping the ground with her fingers as she spat on the ground as her eyes began to burn.

"What the hell!? How did you do that?!"

Yang thought as Jaune glowed. She saw it now the boy was glowing yellow as his cerulean blue eyes glared at her.

"You got some fancy moves Blondie! You seem to know how to dance but let's see how you tango!"

She said flying forward blasting pellets at the boy as Jaune dodged!?

Out of the way of the first round of buckshot, leaped around and towards her. Rolling into a ball popping out of it sword pointed out and stabbed her in the stomach. Maker her aura drop to the low thirties as she growled. Before planting her feet and delivering a brutal gut punch to the boy. Making his eyes bulge out of his skull.

As a sharp blast of air left his gut as he heard his ribs crack! As she left him off the ground before sending him flying backward into the back of the arena.

Dropping his aura to below twenty making him gasp as he was sent back as he began to shine.

Jaune was literally glowing gold as he raises his word that took on the shimmer close as Jaune heard all the voice int he arena at once.

"His semblance!"

The arena thought as-
"He never did tell us what his semblance was."

Weiss thought as-

"Oh! He has semblance! He's so cool!"

Ruby thought happily as Yang smirked.

"Oh? A semblance? So you decided to go all out huh? I wonder why you didn't use it before a-
"Unless!? You are just like me! You get stronger and tougher when you get hit! Blondie we are just alike! We are meant to be together!"

Yang though smacking her fist together creating a shower of sparks as Jaune girned He had no idea what the hell was going on. His semblance was mind reading, not increased power.

As he felt his body glowed yellow as he felt lighter, more robust and stronger. Like he was burning out. Like he was ready to die in a blaze of-

"Here she comes! Think later, act!"

His reflection yelled as Yang barreled forward as Jaune saw her move at a snail's pace.

As he spun around her direct spear attack. As he spun around her strike narrowly avoiding her devasting fist as she grinned.

"You also get faster?! Well, that's new! What else you got hiding in that cute shirt of yours?"

She thoguht before Jaune focused his aura to his foot and delivered a fierce kick to her ribs, making her grimaced before swing his sword taking her in the neck and clotheslining her with the sharp metal of his sword taking her right in the jugular. Making her aura pop! As it hit zero and she lost the fight.


"Match set! Winner Arc!"

Glynda said as Jaune panted his entire body glowing yellow. As Yang laid their blink owlishly at him, the Dean walked up.

"Splendid! Just splendid! Mister Arc I congratulate you on finding your semblance! I do not know exactly what it doses but you used it to great effect in his engagement!"

The dean said as Jaune nodded numbly as his body felt like it was on fire. He breathed, and moved like the world was spinning in slow motion as time em to freeze as a low groan filled the room as Yang groggily got up.

"Oww...

The girl sais the dean smiled.

"Miss Xiao-Long! You did well also! You had no idea of your opponent's abilities and still managed to make it a close fight! You need to work on your attacks though. You became predictable in the end Mister Arc was able to read you like an open letter."
She said as Yang nodded her mind surprising empty as the dean smiled.

"Good job both of you! Now go back to yo teams-
"MINE."

A voice said in his mind as Jaune felt a hand grip his shoulder as Yang pulled him around as her eyes glowed red.

"Yang!? What are-

Jaune froze as the girl lifted him off his feet, as she pulled him to her face and kissed him.

Jaune's world froze as the girls burning lips slammed into his making him groan as Glynda growled.

"Miss Xiao-Long!"
She yelled Yang waved her off as Jaune hands moved on thier own as she gripped her back, as his legs acted on instance wrapping around her waist as a firm hand gripped his ass making him moan into her mouth. As Yang growe force her on into his mouth as Glynda sighed seeing the act as consensual and-

Anger. Loss. Envy. Fear. Hatred. Happiness. Hunger. Thirst.

A myriad of negative emotions came from the stands of their friends as Yang finally broke their kiss with a wet plop! As Jaune gasped for breath as she grinned at him.

"You. You belong to me."

Yang said firmly gripped his read making him gasp as she grinned a toothy smile at him.


"Grounded!?"

"That is what I said."

A calm beatific voice said as the boy recoiled.

"But- why!? I'm nineteen! You can't ground me!"

"Can't I?"

A glowing pair of eyes said as the grey ones back off.

"Sorry.. mam...

The voice said as the grey eyes sighed.

"Mercury. You are hurt. You need to rest. You over exerted yourself on that mission."

"But I didn't! I was fine and-
"And then you decided to use your semblance as soon as you got home despite. Knowing your limits.'

Cinder said in a calm tone as Mercury groaned.

"But boss! They needed my help!"
"Mercury. You know what your semblance dose to your body. Yet even knowing that you decided to go and help no not, not two but three. Old ladies cross the street, rescue thirteen cats from trees and even ordered five boxes of girl scout cookies before coming here."

"Those people needed my help! And-

"And they do not need you more than me. Or Emerald.

Cinder said running a hand lovingly over her subordinate and technical son's head as she sighed.

"I'm fine-

"No, you are not! You always do this Mercury!"

He other child Emerald said as she came back into the room. With a box of bloody cotton swabs and bandages. Glaring at her boyfriend as Cinder sighed as the two began to bicker as they usually did every time Mercury got hurt-

"I'm fine Em-

"No, you are not! You came her coughing up blood for Oums sake!"

"It's not the first time, I've come in half dead after a mission."

"That does not make it better-

"Silence. I have a meeting with Roman I must attend to. Emerald.'

"Yes, mam."

"Watch over Mercury. Don't let him so much as take a step out of bed."

"He won't get more than an inch."

"Mercury."

"Yes, boss?"

"Do not. Leave this apartment."

Cinder said glaring at the boy as he nodded.

"Yes, mam.'

He said submissively as he averted his eyes to his boss.

"Good. Now I must be gong. I need to meet with Romana and discuss. His handling of my subordinates."

Cinder said as both her subordinates nodded as Cinder smile ina beatific way.

"Mercury. If you step one foot out of this apartment...

Cinder let the words hang out as her implied threat made a chill travel up the boy's spine as she smiled in a terrifyingly calm manner as she left the two alone.

"Are you really ok?"

Emerald asked sighing heavily shaking her short green hair as Mercury sighed.

"Well not really."

Mercury admitted as the girl red eyes shot open.

"What's wrong? Tell me where it hurts."

"My legs...

Mercury said grimacing as the girl began to panic.

"Your legs? What about your legs? Ar they in pain?":
"Emerald! I can't feel my legs!"

Mercury said gripping his legs in pain as the girl panicked.

"Clam down! I'll call the doctor and-
Emerald for asher mind began to catch up to her actions.

Legs... Mercury... Mercury cant fell his legs...

She thought before snigger came from behind her as she felt her aura flared.

"You ass!"

"Hey! Don't blame me that you believe everything I say!"

"I was worried about you! You dick!"

She yelled tossing her box of bloodied cotton at him as Mercury laughed openly as she fumed.
"Why are you such a dick?"

"Becuase you like my dick."

He said making the girl's face turn the color of her eyes.
"Mercury!"

"What? You know it's true. And he likes you too! So do I by the way."

Mercury said winking at the girl who called him hers as she sighed heavily. Giving up the fight and sitting on the small bed as the lone light that up the otherwise dark apartment bathed them in orange light as she laid down next to him on their bed.

"I was worried about you."

"I know."

"I don't like it when you go on missions alone."

"Emerald. I can take care of my self! You know me-
"I do! I knot that you have what might be the most powerful semblance in human history, but you refuse to actually fight with it."

"Hey! I fight plenty well with it!

"You hold back! Mercury, you never fight full out. And that's going to get you killed. Sooner or later."

She said sight into her hand as Mercury sighed knowing that whenever Emerald would get like this, there was only one way to cheer her up.

"And off we go!"

He said clicking a button on his knee as he legs clicked! And they powered down to recharge themselves, as he rolled onto his girlfriend's chest. Ignoring the harm she put on the back of his head as he began to sing.

"~OH Emerald! My beautiful mocha crystal~!"
"Stop."

"~My ebony goddess-

"Mercury. Keep singing, and I'll cut your tongue out."
Erald said raising one of her kunai threateningly as Merucy rolled his eyes at her.

"Call me crazy, but I doubt that. The only thing you like more than little me is that other part of my anatomy."

He said as my finally let her hair down. Figuratively of course as her hair was far too short she could into just let it down.

"Why are you such an ass to me?"

"Becuase you love me for it."

"You owe me a lot of head. You know that right?"

She asked staring at him as he finally sighed dramatically.

"Fine! Fine! I'll get right on it your majesty!"
He said as he began to move his head down her waist. Trialing his fingers in small circles on her smooth, creamy skin. As he lifted her shirt making her gasp as he planted soft kisses all over her stomach. , making his way down to-

"No. Not yet."

"Not yet? Does my queen wish for another song?"

"No. But she does want a hug."

She said pulled the boy close making him sigh.

"I missed you."

"Same here babe."
"I worry about you."
"Yeah Yeah. With a face like mine, it's hard not to worry. What if something happens to it? What would all the ladies stare at then?"

He said making her girl rap the back of his head as she rubbed it slowly.


"Three cracked ribs. A bruised sternum. And a slightly ruptured lung. Good work.'

The fox faunus nurse said as Jaune sighed.

Fear. Worry. Anger.

Came from his partner who still glared at him making him shiver under her green eyes. As she turned her baleful look at the nurse.

"How long until he is back to full?"

"Two days. At most. He's pretty tough if not that smart."

She said as Jaune grinned.

"See Pyr. I'm not dead yet."
Jaune said as she sighed heavily.

"You were still foolish! You should not fight without full aura Jaune."

Pyrrha said only half serious as Jaune smiled.

"Come on now. I know you like seeing me in action."

He said bait his partner who gave a rare true smiled as she rubbed his hair affection Tracing her hand along his short messy blonde hair making him croon his neck in response.

"I will admit to you being.. impressive in the arena."

She said as-

"And Sexy as hell. God when you shield bashed Yang? Or when you had batted her mom? I want to rip your shorts off and take you then and there."

Her thoughts entered he brian making him blush as the nurse came back with a clipboard.

"Your families leave in two hours. You should rest for about thirty minutes. I can watch him until then."

"Jaune are you ok? Truly?"

"I'm tired and sore, and I fell like I've been run over by a truck. But I'll live."

He said as Pyrrha gave him a playful slap on his shoulder that once again almost ripped it out of his socket as he grimaced in pain.

"FIne. I will be back in half an hour. Until then stay. In. Bed."

She said being him s she left the infirmary leaving Jaune to lay back in bed and-

The door swung open as Jaune sighed.

"Forget something Pyr? Or did-

"We need to talk."

A pair of Amber eyes said as he saw Blake glaring at him as he sighed.


"You know if you keep that up you will grow wrinkles. Right?"

Opal asked as her second had her head down flat oh her deal as the dean groaned din frustrations Opal walked into Glynda private Beacon quarters.

She held her own apartment in Beacon. On the upper floors of the tower. Where she lives in a modest comfort as she rubbed her head on the set Opal took careful notice of the empty wine bottles on the shag carpet floor as she sighed.

"Long night I take it?"

"You don't know the half of it."

Glynda mumbled as Opal sighed pulling up a chair that Glynda had knocked over as she sat in front of her.

"Would you like to talk about it? You know I'm a good listener right?"

Opal asked as the woman sighed.

"It's James...

She said Opal frowned.

"Glynda what happened in the past was just that. The past. You and James had a relationship that didn't work out. That is all."

The fact that it was entirely your fault is irrelevant.
Opal thought to herself sipping her mug as Glynda sighed.

"I... I saw him again last night."
She said as Opal felt the hairs rise on her hands.

"And? What did you do with him?'

"I... I asked him to dance."

"To... to dance?"
"Yes. I asked him for a dance."

"And why did you ask him to dance?"

"I... I was being foolish."

"Foolish how?"
"I.. I thought that if I could just talk to him. Maybe if I could explain myself and actions. Perhaps if I could just explain myself again, perhaps he could forgive me...

The woman said as Opal sighed. Glynda was not a student. She was her friend, and she deserved the blunt truth of this matter.

"Glynda. I must ask. I've held my peace for years now but why? Why did you vote against James in the general selection?"

Opal asked as she honestly wanted to know why. James was by far and above the most promising officer of the joint Vale Atlas expeditionary force. Loved and respected by all those that served under him. He was one of if not the most popular generals in history. And when a joint vote was needed to elevate him to full general status Glynda for some unknown reason voted no.

And if not for Opal's vote which was always going to be yes he would not have been allowed to become one. Opal wonder why the practically minded Glynda would vote against the best officer and-

"You know why."

"Was it because he was a man?"
Opal asked dreading the answer. Discrimination was a plague on humanity. Be it gender race or anything else. And even if Glynda was a traditionalist-

"No...

"Then why? He was the best-

"He is a fool!"

She shouted slamming her fist on the table as Opal sighed.

"This is about his aura. Right?"

"Of course it is! Opal, he can't unlock his aura! Yet he fights on the front lines like a damned rookie huntress! With more guts than brains!"
"It's not that he can't-

"He won't! He thinks that asking his men to fight without aura while having his unlocked is somehow unfair to them!"

"How he commands is up to him Glynda. Not us."

"He is going to get himself killed!"

"He knows the risks; he is no fool."
"And?! Am I supposed to just let him go out bellowing and rallying to his death?! How can we do that-

"Yes. Yes, you are supposed to let him go to his death, Glynda. That is our job."

Opal said fixing her second with a hard glare that made her ordinarily bright emerald eyes now tired and haggard.

"Opal-

"Five thousand, eight hundred and seventy-six. That is the total number of deaths that I have seen of my students while in my stead as headmaster of this academy. And that number is not including those who graduated and die in the field. Glynda that casualty rate for all first years is twenty percent. And it only increases as they get older. Every day we send our students to thier deaths."

"Every day I look at my pupils, and I know that some of them will not be there tomorrow morning. And I rest easy knowing that I am right-
"How?! How can you say that?! Opal! These are not your damn chess pieces! These are peoples lives! These-
"Tools."
Opal said calmly sipping her steaming mug as Glynda blinked owlishly at her.
"What did you just say?"
"Tools."
"Tools?"
"Yes, Glynda. I said tools. Not people, not students tools."

The enigmatic woman said taking a sip of her coffee as her storm cloud eyes never left Glynda.

"How could-
"Because I have to Glynda. I do not look upon my students as people. I look on them as tools. They are instruments that I use to serve a greater purpose. They are meant to be utilized, sharpened and if necessary broken."

"These are people!"

"No. They are tools. They are meant to be used."
The headmistress said as her hands glowed green.

"Opal! They are not damned objects! They have feelings emotions-

"I never said that they did not. I am just saying that I do not seem my students as people. I see them as instruments that through which I can safeguard the world. I do recognize thier individuality and will do my damnedest to protect them. But I am also willing to kill every one of them should I need to."

"That's... you are a-

"Monster? Maybe. I've been around long enough to have been called such a name, and it does carry some truth to it. But I prefer to be seen as a merchant."

"A merchant? Of what?"

"Death."
The women said sipping her mug as she sighed contently.

"Life is like currency Glynda. Especially human life. It is meant to be spent. Not stored for safekeeping. This school is full of the worlds most valuable currency, and every day I fully intend to go shopping."

The woman said as Glynda gripped her wand.

"They are alive Opal-
"I never said they were not. I just said that in the end. There are meant to be used, spent and eventually when they serve no more purpose discarded."

"How do you sleep at night?"

"On my back. But that is neither here nor there. Glynda. We are a part of something much bigger than ourselves. The lives of anyone and I do mean anyone are not important. We are here for the greater good. And the great good needs sacrifice."

"Of your friends?"
"If need be. I am not above reproach. Be they my students, my aides, you and even me are all disposable in the end. I know I may seem cruel, but I am here to win Glynda. I will take the best people for the best jobs. I don't care if they are men, woman, faunus human or even a damned robot that James loves so much.'

Not that I trust those soulless abominations for a second.

Opal that begrudgingly as she glared at her second.

"I built this academy under the firm belief that anyone and I mean anyone. Who is willing to die for thier beliefs will have a place here. And that as long as you are willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of the whole, you have a home with me, in this school."

The woman said as Glynda sighed. "I... I just want to protect him. I want to protect them. I want to protect all of them-

"Well, you can't. You can't protect all of them. Be they students, staff or James himself. The student knew the risk, and they will live and die with them. He's a grown man and the best man for the job. And despite what you think he is my friend. And I do not care for you insulting or harassing him. Do not meet with him alone again, lest you insult him further. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal. Mam."

"Good. Now clean yourself up. You look awful."


What. Is. Wrong. With. YOU!?"

Blake hissed gripping the human by the throat as she straddled his crotch as she chocked Jaune on his bed.

"Blake! Air! Please!"

Jaune wheezed as the cat faunus strangled him.

"I can't believe this! I really cant! You are going for one! And I mean one! Day! And not only do you join the White Fang you break out Adam!? Adam Taurus the one man who you should not be anywhere within a quarter mile of! Let alone you break him out of jail!? And now he's in Vale?!"

"That's the long short of it!"

Jauen wheeze as Blaek flet her viens pop.

Stupid! Idiot! Foolish! How can you boy be so foolish?!

The girl thought she released the strangled human making him violently hacked on his bed.

"I can't believe this! I'm never letting you out of my sight again!"

She hissed as Jaune gagged for air.

"Noted! But can we at least talk about-
"No! You don't get to talk! You get to sit there and listen to me while I debate how I'm going to kill you for being a damned idiot!"

Blake hissed through gritted teeth search mid-race.

Why!? WHY!? WHY!? How did you screw up this bad!? Adam?! Here?! This is the literal worst case scenario that could happen. If Adam is in Vale, I need to find him. I need to stop him. Only I can-

"Blake I-

"Where?'

She asked her amber eyes burning into him as Jaune linked in confusion.

"Where?"

"Where is he?"
"Adam?'

"No! Roman! Where do you meet with him?"

Blake asked Jaune narrowed his eyes.

"Why would I-

"Jaune I told you that I'm in and I am. Now tell me where he is Or I call Opal and I will tell her everything I know."
"She won't believe you."

"I busted Adam out of jail."

Jaunes voice said Blae held up her scroll with a bright red recording light flashing on it.

"You recorded me?!"

"I don't like chance."

She said coyly as Jaune blushed.

"Blake you can't just-

"No, you can't just! I let you go for a day! And you break out the worlds most wanted terrorist, killed dozens of Atlas guards! And blew up an Atlas jail!"

"Blew up!? We never blew up the jail!"

"Yes. Yes, you did. The record went up the moment you left. All guards died Jaune. They are dead, and you killed them."

Blake said as Jaune gagged as she sighed.

"Jaune. I know that you are being forced to do this. But please. Let me help you."

Blake said in a calm voice as she let her eyes soften as Jaune sighed heavily.

"Fine but-

"We aren't alone."

Blake said her bow twitching as she reached for her weapon.

"What do you mean we aren't alone."

"What does that mean!?'
Jaune asked as Blake glared at the door.

"Someones coming!"

"Then get off me!"
Jaune said the door opened on the infirmary and a woman walked inside.


I wish people would just listen. I know I might come off as rude, but I am right. I am only here to help. Opal thought opening the door of the infirmary to check on her most inters change Jaune Arc.

The boy who came home covered in snow dust. As he said obviously to know that snow us did not exist, smelling of gunpowder blood and engine fuel.

As she opened the door, she intended to interrogate the boy and-

Her thought stopped as she saw a most intriguing sight. The boy was ever being looked int. As Blake Belladonna straddled his lap kissing him on the lips as a small smile spread across her face.

"My my. You two look like you are getting along. I hope I'm not interrupting anything."

Opal said smugly as Jaune blushed as Blake broke thier kiss.

"Mam! I'm sorry-

"Don't be Blake. I've snuck into my fair share of boys bedsides in my day. I don't have any reason to judge you."

Opal said smiling softly as she frowned suddenly.

"Jaune? I thought you were dating Miss Xiao-Long? Not Miss Belladonna-

"Lover! I'm his lover at Beacon! We just started dating so were pretty shy about it!"

Blake said lying through her teet as Opal decided to have some fun. Jaune was here for four years. Literally. He was office property of Beacon. A ward of the school. She could and would do with him as she wished.

He was one of her best currency, and she was going to spend Jaune dearly over his time in her institution. As the boy might come to regret leaving his home as Opal was sure he had just traded one hell for another. Not that she cared about that. As long as Jaune served her purpose all else was secondary.

"Well, I must say that I approve. So long as it is consensual. It is consensual right Mister Arc?"

"Yes! Yes, it is!"

Jaune said blushing as he planted a kiss on Blakes' cheek making the faunus blush as Opal decided to push them.
As she reached into a Beacon medical drawer and gripped a small colorful box form it and tossed it at them.

"Here. A gift for you two."

Opal said Blake's faun reflexes caught the box as she gagged.

"Condoms!?"

"Of course. Unless you wish to be a mother so soon? Do you? If so Glynda does have a program available-
"No!"

Blake said blushing brightly as Opal sighed as she began to enjoy small pleasures in her life. Tormenting helpless children.


"Well, that was embarrassing."

Jaune said as Opal finally left the room after torment the two asking them for a perfect birth control, water the wanted to visit a Beacon guest room. Or what the name of the firstborn would be.

As Blake blushed brighter than Nora's hair before finally ducking her head in Jauen shoulder people laughed once before giving Jaune a disturbing look as she left the two alone.

As Opal left Blake sighed heavily. "I thought she would never leave."

Blake said as Jaune nodded.

"Well, at least we didn't get caught right?"

Jaune asked the beautiful cat girl straddling his wast as Blake sighed.

"You know if I knew I'd meat a human that would give me this much trouble I would have just killed you. You know that?'

"Sorry to burst your bubble. But I'm pretty hard to kill."

"Oh, I know you are full of surprises Jaune. Like how your sword shoots lightning, or fire or-

"How do you know that!?"

"Jaune. You are not slick. I saw you sneak off that night. What the hell are your weapons anyway?"

Blake asked as Jaune paused as he saw a chance.

"Secret."

"Secret?"

"Jaune! I'm back and-

A door opened in the room as Blake leaped off his bed as his partner walked inside.

"Blake? Why are you here?"

Pyrrha asked as Blae stood panting heavily in front of a blushing Jaune as she coughed into her arm

"Sorry, Pyrrha. I was just checking on Jaune. He looked hurt, and I wanted to check up on him.

"Oh. That's fine! I'm just there to get him. His sister is leaving now, and I think he wants to say goodbye."

Pyrrha said as Jaune nodded rapidly as he and Blake flushed.


"So Tai?"

"Yes, my future son in law? How is my floor blonde doing today?'

Tai asked as Jaune sighed. It was down to the long walk of Beacon students taking thier parents to the docks as Jaune decided to talk with the one male parent that he had a somewhat positve relationship with.

"Do you have a semblance?"
Jaune asked the man as he and he walked in front of thier friends and family as Tai nodded.

"Sure do! I can collect kinetic energy! I can take the stored energy of where I move my body and use it to accelerate myself! Why else do you think I'm always bouncing? I got to build up a charge!"

Tai said laughing happily as Jaune smiled.

"So that's how you move so fast."

"Sure is! Look I can also do this!"
Tai said as he opened his hands as-
KERZHT!

Bolts of lightning!? Flew between his hands as Jaunes mouth dropped.

"Pretty cool right? I can also use my stored energy to shock people!"

"Tai stop it. You're scaring the children."

Summer chided her husband as Tai grinned.

"What? What would I stop? You love it when I do this to you Sum-Sum!"

Tai said as the woman flushed.

"Tai! Not in front of the children!"
"Who Ruby and Yang? Summer, you and Raven, are not the quiets people in the world Unless they are deaf they have heard you moaning at night-
"Tai! Stop that!"

"Stop? That's not what you were saying last night Raven."

He said as Yang sighed.

"Dad. Don't talk about sleeping with mom's ok?"

"Why not firecracker? That the only reason you are walking here right now! You came out in a Yang and-

"Tai. If you keep talking...

Summer said zipping to her husband in a shower of white roses. Gripping him by his ear pulling him down to her face as she began to whisper in his ear making the man stop, flutter and turn a shade of red to beat his daughters cloak.

"But Summer-
Tai said as Sumber began to whisper more into his head. "That's not fair-
"That' only for Thursday!"

He said blush bright as Summer gripped him tighter finally making him sigh as Tai gave in.

"Fine. I'll be good."

"Good boy!"

She said as Tai said before he sent a look to Jaune.

"I sent you a text Jaune. Read it alone."

Tai said as Jaune nodded as the teens guided their parents to the docks. As the teens with visiting family members made a sad goodbye.


"Ruby! I'll miss you!"

Summer said hugging her daughter tightly as she returned the hug happily.

"I'll miss you too Mom! I'll write to you every day!"

Ruby said hugging her mother as Raven walked to Yang.

"Raven."
"Yang."
"Mom."
"Daughter."
The two woman said before Yang sighed deciding to be the bigger woman for once.

"I'll miss you, mom."
Yang said hugging her mother as Raven smiled as she hugged her back.
"And I you daughter."
She said hugging her daughter s she whispered in her ear.

"He is falling for you. Don't let this one slip through your fingers."
"I won't."
"Do not let your guard down. Your sister is the only one you may share with."

Raven said as Yang nodded as Summer whispered into her daughter's ear.

"Ruby. Do you remember what I taught you?'

"Yes. mom...

"Do you?"
"Yes, mom. I'll use my feminine wiles!"
Ruby said as her mother smiled

"Good girl. Remember Ruby; you got to be tough with a man! You can be sweet at first but don't; be afraid to use your whip! I bought one for you just in case, and I put it in your room. It's the same one that I use on your father so don't be afraid to try it out ok?"

"I won't mom! I'll be sure to use it on him!"

"Good girl!"

Summer said as the mother and daughter hugged.


"It was nice seeing you again Nora. I hope you will call your mother. She missed you" Marcus Nikos said as both his daughter and mother stared at him in confusion.

As the man had refused to say how he knew Nora or Nora him,

" Somehow I doubt that Marcus, but either way. It was nice to see you again as well and for what it's worth I hope life treats you well."

"You and me both."

He said smiling before tunning to Pyrrha who beamed as she wrapped him in a hug.
"Daddy! I'll miss you!"
She said as Marcus hugged his daughter who even almost twenty years younger than him was over a foot taller than him as he hugged her back.

"I'll miss you too baby girl. Do good things for me ok?"

"I will."
She promised as she turned to her mother.

"Mother."
"Pyrrha."
"It was nice seeing you again mother. Tell my sibling I said hello."

"Your brother misses you. And I know he will be glad to see you doing well, as well as a possible stepbrother. Pyrrha you have claimed that boy. Do not let him go."

"I will not."
"See that you don't. Now Marcus let us go."

She said as the walked away.


"Well, then Velvet this is goodbye."

"Bye, mom. I'll see you later."

Velvet said before turning to her father as a small tear fell from her face as-

"Aww! Don't cry Honeybuns! You can see your parents next time when you bring our boyfriend with you!"

"Coco!"

"Why hello Coco. Where were you hiding all this time?"

"Oh, you know me Miss Scarletina! I was just busy shopping! Chasing a boy of my dreams and being generally fabulous!"
Coco said grinning ear to ear as Velvet's mother sighed.

"As you say, Coco. Please take care of my daughter. I know you will."

"You can trust me! Our favorite Honeybuns is safe with me!"

Coco said poudly as Velvet whined.

"Coco! Stop...

Velvet said as she blushed.


"Arc."

"Raven?"
"It was nice to meet you... I... I am not good with goodbyes but... You make my daughter happy. And that is good. Do not make her cry. And do not! Let her bully you. Yand is a good girl, but she needs you to set boundaries."

Raven said curtly. Nodding once to the boy not giving him time to answer as Summer blurred up to him and gave him a tight bone-breaking hug.

"Bye Jaune! I'll miss you!"
Summer said ina happy cherry tone just like her daughter before she whispered into his ear.

"If you ever come into a room smelling like blood and dust again, I'm going t make sure the next time anyone sees you again will be at your and Rubys' wedding. BYE!"

She said blurring away in a blaze of white roses as jaune felt a cold hand of fear in his heart as-

"Jaune. You have my daughters hearts. I hope she proves worthy of it."
Anetha said bowing once walking away as-
"Jaune."

His sister said as he turned around to see his eldest sister smiling weakly at him as a frown came on his face.

"You... you are really leaving Cait?"

"I have to Jaune. I'm a huntress, and this is my job. You know I love you right?"

She asked as he gave her younger brother a tight hug as Jaune felt it.

"Fear. Loathing. Anxiety. Guilt. Shame. Pitty.

All came from her as she began to speak.

"Jaune... I just want you to know this. You. No matter what happens today, I will always see you as my brother."

Caitlin said as Jaune blinked owlishly as his sister left him quickly. Not bother to keep his sight as she walked away to bullhead, her claymore strapped to her back as Jaune frowned.

Why are you so nervous? He thought as she got on bullhead sperate from the other parents and left without waving goodbye.


As Pyrrha walked her partner back to Beacon, she gave a bitter smile to him as they walked into the Beacon hallway proper. She knew that he had a complicated family life. And Caitlin was one if not the only member he had a working positive relationship with. And seeing her go must have been rough for him and-

"WAH!"

A voice cried out as a small child with long yellow hair fell flat on her face. An obvious visiting younger sister of a Beacon student fell flat on the asphalt of the loading dock and began to wail loudly and-

"There. There. Don't cry little one."

Jaune said to the crying child on one knee bending down to look at her at eye level.

"B.. but it hurts!"

The small girl with pale skin a white dress and blonde pigtails said as Jaune smiled at her.

"Don't worry. You are fine it'll be ok."

He said in a gentle reassuring voice. Rubbing the child's head softly with one hand as the child sniffled once.

"You... you think so?'

"I know so. Now, how about you run along. I think your family is worried about you. You don't want them to leave you here now do you?'

Jaune asked as lightbulb popped up in her head.

"No!"

She shouted leaping out of his arm and running for the docs stopping once to turn around and shouted back.

"Thaks mister!"

She yelled as Jaune-

Warmth. Respect.

A flood of warm feelings came from behind him as his friends saw him interact with the child.

"You are good with children? Why didn't you tell me Jaune?"

Pyrrha asked smiling warmly at him as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"So not only can you cook but you are also good with kids? Gotta say blondie you are looked more scrumptious by the second!"

Yang said licking her lips as Jaune smiled

"Thanks. I think? I'm just a good child watching. I kind of learned from my elder sister when she took care of me."

Jaune said obviously missing Catilin as his partner rubbed his shoulder in a supportive manner.

Don't worry Jaune I'll cheer you up. Pyrrha thought happily as a shadow fell over them.

"Hey, there little Bro! How the hell are you!?"

A sharp voice said as Jaune was lifted up in the air by a bigger female version of himself. Clad in light blue combat armor. With a massive sniper rifle on her back and several grenades strapped on a long plastic bandolier on her chest.
Another sister?! Pyrrha thought as what had to be another sibling of Jaune appeared lifting Jaune up into the air and-
"Bleu!?"

Jaune gasped as someone clad in light blue combat armor with a massive sniper on her back, and many grenades on her chest smiled at him.

"It's me, little bro! Let's talk!"

The woman said smiling ear to ear with a smile that despite appearing genuine filled Pyrrha' blood with ice water as Jaune froze...


Fear. Panic. Confusion

Rushed through Jaune's mind as he was put down in a Beacon guest Room as Bleu of all people appeared at his school after parents week and took him from his team. Giving half-hearted introductions to his partner friends before spiriting him off to a Beacon Guest room before Jaune's panicked fueled mind could comprehend what was happening until it was to late and he was alone with her.

"Bleu is here?! Bleu is here?! Why!? Why!? Why!?"

Jaune thought as he began panicking as his body was wrapped in a cold sweat as his sister let him down. This was not good. Not good at all! Bleu was here! Here! Bleu was the worst of his sisters. If she was in Beacon that meant he was in deep. As his second eldest put him down Jaune found his heart beating out of his chest as he looked at an almost identical face to his own.

"Bleu... Why are you-

Thirty-seven.
Jaune counted thirty-seven rounds on the floor of the Beacon guest rooms carpet. As he laid face first on the ground as he tasted blood in his mouth as the world spun.

"Goddess you talk too much."

Bleu said tiredly yawing deeply in a lackadaisical manner as she wiped her younger brothers blood off on her light blue skirmisher armor. Looking at it in an annoyed manner as she finished slapping him.

Jaune felt his face cry out as a million needles dug into his flesh. Bleu slapped him so hard that his mouth filled with blood. As he looked at the yellow carpet now dyed red as his eyes spun as he felt the nasty effects of a fight with Bleu entered his face.

Bleu was always a bit of a sadist. And a talented engineer, as she had taken eh time to develop aura glove technology. The technology that encased the now glowing blue armored fist in a crackling field of energy as she flexed her fingers.

The crackling energy field was specially meant to dampen your aura's field. Meaning that any wound you took from that damn fist was an injury that you were going to heal without the help of your aura. And it was going to be damned painful.

As his sister smirked at him triumphantly, Jaune felt a rage grow in him before he instantly smashed it down. He was angry pissed. Someone had just slapped him so hard he dyed the floor red.

As there was even a tooth! On the ground. She hit him so hard she knocked out a damn tooth. Anyone, else that did this would have had one helluva fight, but this was Bleu and Blew was a killer.

And you did not fight Bleu. Jaune was angry he was not suicidal. Bleu had almost killed him several times in his life. Last time on his actual wedding day and she would take no qualms ending his life without a second hesitation-

"Get up."

Blue said dryly looking her brother in the eye. As an older feminine version of himself glared down pityingly at her bleeding bruised brother.

"Jaune. Don't make me start counting."

The woman said as memories of Bleu and her counting. Came into his mind as he shot up. Ignoring the crippling pain in his jaw and leaping on his feet before-
"OMF!"

Jaune screams as a knee for his gut as Bleu kneed him in his guts. Knocking hte air out of his lung as Blue sighed tiredly.

"Only one knee to take you down, Bro? What did I expect? You know Jaune, you really are pathetic you know?'

Bleu asked letting the boy fall to his knees gagging loud before landing a punch on his chest making him gag, as he slammed back on the floor before she delivered a punishing kick to his side break ribs and making him cry out as she sighed.

"W.. Why are you here?"

Jaune asked barely conscious and spitting up blood as she smiled.

"To help you, little bro!"

She said in a disturbingly cheery manner placing an armored boot on his chest and pressing down making him cry out as she crushed his ribs.
"Help! me?"

Jaune asked hissing through his teeth as Bleu took her boot from his chest and sighed heavily.

"Yup! I got you a present!"

She said reaching behind her with her glowing blue armored fist pulling out a small pendant with a lavishly embroidered skull on it as Jaune saw it as his face paled and skin lost all color as tears fell from his eyes.

"No...
He said in a disbelieving voice as tears fell from his eyes as Bleu nodded.

"Yup! Jaune Arc! For several! Acts of cowardice, deceit and dishonorable actions! I! Bleu Arc, with the support of three other of your family members, I banish you from our clan! From this day forth you are no longer Jaune Arc! You are at this moment stripped of your title! Rank! Inheritance! And all other parts of clan Arc except you weapons! As I now dub you Jaune Vesperax!"

Bleu said expelling Jaune from his family as tears fell down his bleeding face as his world came crashing down. As she tossed the skull pendant at him.

"Bleu! You can't do this! I-

"Sorry, Bro! I got four of us behind me! Carol. Saph. Clair and Star all want you out so you are gone!"

She said smiling as Jaune felt his world break.

"Star wouldn't do that!"

Jaune shouted back as he refused the fact that his closest age sibling would ever-

"She sure did Jaune. I don't know why it took her so long to get tired of you but she did."

Bleu said yawning as Jaune felt a tear fall from his face.

"Bleu... If I'm not an Arc how can I live? That's... that's all I have left. All I have is my name. What am I going to do without it?"

Jaune asked tears falling from his eyes as Bleu walked up to him lazily shrugging her shoulder as she put her rifle Merlin down on the floor.

"No idea. Honestly, bro that is the least of your concerns."

Bleu said cracking her knuckles as she shot him a predatory grin. As she rubbed her glowing fist together.

"You should really focus on the here and now bro, because unless you put up your fist and start fighting for your ass for two minutes. I'm going to beat you to death." Bleu said raising her fist as she grinned at him.


AN: Well there we go! Bleu is here! She does not like Jaune. And our boy is in for the fight of his life! This Fic is kicking up and is only going to get more brutal as it goes on so one warning! Otherwise thanks for reading. Shorter Omake Because I am dying.
