An: And here it is! The next thrilling chapter of Game on! In this one we see Mink trolling Jaune even more! Jaune learns about history! Cinder makes a play! And we have one helluva fight! The next chapter is the breach! So look forward to it! Also! A refrance to one of the greatest movies ever!

Ps. I have another fic I write called Bastion, and it's linked to Game on and in that fic the plot is Jaune and Ruby sent away to a hell school to atone for crimes. This fic is interconnected with that fic and there will! Be a time when Jauna Ruby goes home for VYTAL in it. And in that time the regular Beacon crew will have to fight some Bastion students and well... Slight spoilers for that in this chapter... Not saying where! But if you read Bastion you will know.

PSS. Also! I am inspired to write more Game on like stories! Think similar plot, world, gender role reversal and overall violence! And I worked in a bit of them in the end! Tell me what you think and until then? Enjoy.


"I hate you." Jaune hissed as Mink grinned.

"Ha! Why the long face Arc? You look like you've been shocked!"
The demon said as Mini giggled at him as Jaune was about to snap! An-
"Don't. Calm down; you need to think. This is not the worst thing. Look at it." Jaune's inner voice said as he took a deep breath, as he began to think.
"All things considered? This is not that bad. Of all! The shit that Mink has pulled in the past months this is by far! Pegging is... inconvenient but not! Fatal. This thing won't kill us and-
"Hey, Arc! You look a bit surprised!"
MInk said as Jaune seethed.
"Not now Mink."
Jaune said as the demoness grinned.
"Aww! You are just like Poland in world war two!"
"What?"
"You did Nazi that coming!"
Mink said before rocking her head back letting out a shrill, sharp laugh that set Jaunes teeth on end as he blinked owlishly at her.
"What?"
"Hah! Don't you get it Arc! Not see? Nazi! It's great!"
"I... I don't get it...
"What? You don't like Nazi jokes?"
"What's a Poland?"
"Huh?"
"What's a Nazi?" Jaune asked Mink blinked owlishly her sharp pink eye blinking slowly as she stared at the human in the space between worlds.
"Jaune! Come on! You know! Nazi! " The thing sid floating over to Jaune elbowing him in the side as Jaune grimaced.
"I... I don't get it...
"What!? Did they not have Nazi's where you come from!?"

"I... no? I don't think we do."
"Wait! You are the Jaune Arc form universe C dash XKV6458 right?!"
"I... I don't know... still what's a Poland?"
"Oh lord let me start from the beginning. Poland is a country in Europe."

"What's a Europe?"
"Oh boy... Europe is a continent in the eastern part of the world."
"I've never heard of it."
"You wouldn't have. It is or was? I don't know what the state of it where you came from, I don't think! It's still there, but I could be wrong. Anyways! Europe was is? A rich melting pot of culturally diverse individuals, strong cultural values, beautiful art and more importantly very! Good beer."
"Ok... and Poland was in Europe?"
"Yeah! Poland was kind of like the tipping point for Europe...
"The tipping point?"
"Well! Europe was pretty cool! Until you dropped below a specific latitude line that is, then...
"Then?"
"Then you go form strong culture and moral treaties into a cluster fuck of genocide, oppression, and ethnic cleansings."
"That sounds awful."
"Yeah! Southeastern Europe is kind of a cluster fuck really! I don't know what went wrong there but it's just like a couple of people coudl not get their shit together. You know?"
"Ok... And Nazi's attacked them?"

"Yes! The Nazi's attack Poland in world war two!"
"And the Nazi's are?"
"Wow! What's a Nazi... now that' a question! Let me see if I can explain this to you... A Nazi... Nazi's are like the Whtie Fang! But good!"
"So they where the good guys?"
"Wait no, that's an awful way to describe them. They were not good... Well, they were! Good at thier job but they where not the good guys or I don't think you would like them."
"So they were like the Fang but good?"
Jaune asked as it shook its head.

"No! Think the Fang but... efficient! Yeah that' it! The Nazi's were just like the fang but good at their job!"
"So they where humans that didn't like faunus?"
"No... think the fang run by humans, but they didn't like other humans."
"Humans that didn't like other humans? Why?"
"Something about skin color, eyeshade and master race."
"That doesn't make sense."
"Neither did Nazi's."

"I don't think I'd like them very much."
"Yeah, but they would love you!"

"Nazi's would like me?"

"What!? Jaune! You are like the poster boy for Nazi's! I mean look at you! Tall, nice pale skin, Rich! Blond hair crystal blue eyes? Strong Aryan features? You are like the poster boy for Naziism! I mean Goebbels would have you on the nearest propaganda poster so fast; it'd make your head spin!"

"I... I don't think I'd like that...
"You wouldn't have a choice. Trust me Nazi's where not a big fan of those they did not see, eye to eye with. I mean you would do well with them, but that's a story for another time! Now any questions, are you a bit worried about your back door?" Minka sed as Jaune felt his bile rise and-
"Stop. She's baiting you. Don't let her this is a test. If Mink wanted to screw us over this is a minor version. We can beat her. Just play along."
"Hey! You got me, Mink!"
Jaune said using all of his charm as the demoness blinked owlishly at him.
"Oh? Aren't you mad? You aren't screaming with anger at me?"
"Nah! Why would I? I mean fuck! I didn't see this coming! Good one!" Jaune said grimacing internally as-

"You are taking this extremely well, flesh bag. I'd thought you be angry and screaming by this point."
"Well, I'm not happy! But, overall this isn't that bad. I mean hell! Pegging won't kill me! Right?" Jaune asked as a terrible premonition about an unfortunate way of dying entered his mind as-
"Now that's! The attitude I was waiting for! You finally let your hair down Jaune! I'm glad! Now let's talk."
"Talk? About?"
"Well! Since you are such a good sport about this! I decided to give you your last! Bit of patronage!"
"And that is?"
"A trait."
Mink said snapping her fingers as a box appeared in her small pink hands in a cloud of purple. It was a small brown box with a minor skull on it as Jaune stared at her.
"It's a trait?"
"Yup! Some lower-ranking denizens that are pulling hard, for you pulled thier resources to get you this trait." Mink said floating up to Jaune as he stared at it.
"What type of trait is it?" He asked not trusting the thing as she gave him that same off-kilter smile that he knew, she knew that he hated. "I can't tell you that! That would be a spoiler but! I can tell you it is a positive trait and you will love it! Cross my heart." Mink said running her hand over her chest as the small green X appeared on her heart. As Jaune glared at the box.
"So it's a positive trait?"
"Yup."
"It won't harm me in ANY way?"
"This can only help? Do you want it or not?"

She asked as Jaune weighed the options. Minks chest had not started to kill her yet, so it was true? That didn't' mean much to him, but he needed help.
"Fine. I'll take it."
"Great! let's see what you got!"
Mink said as a box popped! Open in a blaze of purple smoke as a bright gold lettering appeared with the word. Evasive in mid-air. "It's gold...
Jaune thought as a rare positive trait sprung up as mink gasped.
"Hah! Now that a helluva care package!"
Mink said as Jaune's traits appeared in front of him with as a new one came to the list.
Jaune Arc. Evasive trait added,
Skill learned Evade. When pressed for a decision that you might find uncomfortable you now have the chance to evade request making you able to avoid conflict altogether. The screen rea as Jaune paused.
"Mink? The hell does this mean? Is it-
"This! My now copacetic friend is as a game changer!"
"How?"
"Well! It looks like your supporters in the seventh realm went all, and I do mean all out to get ou this! You should be proud!"
"Mink... what are my supporters? I know most of your kind? Want me to lose but who supports me in the gamer enough to be a patron of mine?"

"Now that is an intriguing question!"
Mink said her eyes light up with purple hellfire as she smirked.
"Those who support you generally come in two sizes. The desperate, and the strong."

"Desperate and strong?"
"Oh! I mean Desperate! Bottom of the barrel demons who are so far down the shit creek that they need! A miracle! To get them back up. Most Gamers and by most, I do mean almost all! Of them end in the defeat of the player but! Those that end with a player victory!? Well, let's jsut say the rewards are... Legendary."
"Ok... and the strong?'
"Ah yes! The strongest! Of us also support you for a myriad of causes. Mainly the elder things will delve into your side but! ther are a few decent tier demons who either like you for your character, don't feel like watching another gamer end in a player death or who jsut like you for you. And want you to win. They are the vast! And I do mean the vast minority of all demons, but they are there. You have fan's after all." Mink said as jaune nodded as he looked at the Evasive trait.
"How is this, so game changing?"
"Simple! It counters your entertainment contract just like Stalwart does." Mink said as Jaune was all ears "How?"
"Simple! Now when pressed for a decision that you do not! Want to make the evasive trait takes over and give you the chance to get out! Of a situation without saying no. Just because you don't say no does not! Mean you have to say yes after all."

"Explain."
"Simple, when pressed for a decision you have the chance to evade. If you do it well, you can avoid saying no without! Being forced to say yes!"
"Mink that'' great!"
"Oh don't get to hyped! This trait is not perfect!"
"Of course it isn't, what' the catch?"
"Well, Evasion is a stat check! It comes in three levels. Simple evasion will allow you to dodge simple quest and it gets harder to evade the more important the question and the stronger the enemies will."
"So it's based on our will?"
"Yes! And the more you try to evade the more will is needed! And if you succeed you get XP relative to the level of question and power of the will of what you evaded!"
"So what's the downside?"

"Well, put it like this. No one likes to get no said to them. And the more you try to evade the more it will be obvious to people that you are trying to evade them."
"Go on."
"The more you raise the overall risk of what you are evading. If you raise evasion to its max! And you evade you will be given a lot of XP! But, if you raise and you fail? You will often have to do something worse than what was originally offered to you."

"So it's a sliding scale...
"Yes! When you get pressed with a decision you do not want to make or are reserved about the other you will make a choice depending on his will, the person or peoples will and will either try to evade or capitulate."
"But, if he evades and fails...
"Things will end up being worse than just saying yes."
'It's never simple is it?"
"Simple is boring! Let's be fun!"
"Fine. But since we are being so buddy, buddy can I ask you a question?"
"Ask away!"
"I... I need to deal with the Neo problem."
"Oh, I was wondering when you would ask about her! What do you want?"
"I need to talk to her. I want her to know that she and I can work together to all of our benefits. We do not have to be enemies."
"And how will I help you in this?"
"Can... can you arrange a meeting with her and me? Like this, in our own realm? Like this, where I can talk to he face to face?"
"That! Will be a bit hard. Neo does not want to talk to you. She is only interested in that version of Jaune. You are irrelevant to her."
"But she's hurting me!"
"She doesn't care."
"We can both benefit from cooperation!"
"She benefits from either, and she has no real reason to meet you."
"Can you at least try! Do something!"
"Well... maybe! I could but-
"What's in it for you?"
"Exactly."

Mink said showing off her far too many perfect white teeth as Jaune grimaced. "What do you want?"
"Simple. Since you are not in the contract signing mood, I'll take a mission!"
"A mission?"
"Yes, a mission. You let me put in one! Mission a week for you and I'll try to let Neo talk to you."
"Do better."
"Better?"
"Don't try; I want confirmation that Neo will meet with me."
"No can do meat rag. I don't control Neo, and she is... Neo... So I can only offer my services, now will you take them or not?" Mink offered as Jaune glared at her.
"Promise me you will put in a real effort to do this. You will do everything in your power without breaking your rules to get Neo to talk to me, and we have a deal."
"I promise. I'll use all of my verbal acuity to talk to her. And! As a show of good faith! Let me show you what mission you will get.' Mink said as she blurred up Jaune's mission screen where it had four on it as she typed in the final mission.
"Mon Keimph!"
Mink said as she typed in the missions the words glowed purple? As a low fire appeared around them.
"What the hell was that?"
"That was me saving your ass. Literally. Now its time to get up! You got a busy day ahead of you meat rag!" Minks id snapper her fingers and Jaune disappeared. As the mortal left her Mink's ordinarily happy carefree eyes took on a hard glare as she looked up inot the nothingness of the ceiling that was not as she grimaced.
"Someone likes to watch."
The thing said into nothing as she glared.


"Put the vest on."
"Is that really necessary?"
"Yes, it is. Unless you want me to kill, you put on the vest."
Zach said irritably as Jaune sighed. He was at Roman's main base for training purposes as he had been ordered by Roman under threat of Neo to come as soon as possible, as he gave Zach. His friend? Maybe a limited amount of information on his friends as his gun training started in Zach's warehouse of a room, that was still full of large empty and not so empty brown cargo boxes filled with all manner illegal weaponry as Jaune as now standing in front of the boy with thick black hair and sharp dark eyes as he sighed.
"Now we are goign to be practicing the art of the duel. I am going to teach you how to quick draw."
"Quickdraw?"
"Yes, quick draw. A single bullet can end most fights. If you can get yours off first, you have a better chance of winning."
Zach said as Jaune put on the bulky off lime color vest to keep him safe as he held his gauss pistol in hand as Zach walked over to the far sides of his room.
"Now! This is how we will progress! You will attempt to shoot me in the chest, and I will shoot you in yours. I'm not going to hold back so get ready."
"I'm ready!"
"Good. We will be dueling today. Your training ends when you can pull your trigger. Do that, and we've done some good." Zach said as Jaune blinked owlishly at him.
"The training ends when I can pull my trigger?"
"When you get a shot off. Do that, and we made some progress with your life." Zach said as he twirled his long custom silver pistol, a revolver type weapon with a dagger-like object sticking out from under its barrel as Jaune frowned.
"How will me pulling a trigger make me learn progress?"
Jaune asked as Zach smiled as a shiver ran down Jaune's spin as the boy twirled the gun with practiced ease.

"Just try it. You'll see why pulling a tiger might not be as easy as you think."
Zach said as Jaune sighed taking a stance in front of the boy the bulky lime green vest covering his entire chest as the boys face off.
"On the count of three, we draw. Try to shoot me in the chest, before I shoot you got it?"
"Got it."
"Ok. One. Two. Three!"
BANG!
Silver.

Jaune saw that the top of the ceiling of Zach's room was silver. With a large amount of hanging ceiling lamps that gave the room lumination, as-
Jaune cried out as a sledgehammer hit his chest, as the impact from Zach's bullet finally caught up to him. The bullet burned a hole the into the vest as Jaune knew his ribs had been cracked. By the bullet as a low cry left his mouth and-
"Told you that you'd have problems pulling. Now get up. We are doing this until you can get off one shot on me." Zach said as Jaune nodded letting out a low whine of pain as he stood up as Zach tossed him a new brand vest to replace the ruined one form a box of the vests saying "catch" as Jaune notice Zach had planned this training for a long time as Jaune grimaced.

Chocking back a yelp of pain from his lungs as he tore off his vest seeing a dark purple bruise under his shirt right, where his heart was as even though the vest the bullet managed to bruise his body. And Jaune knew without it e would be dead. As the boy put on the newer vest as he took his stance reaching for his pistol.
"Good. Now get ready, we are doing this until you shoot." Zach said reaching for his gun as Jaune reached for his as the day began...


Jaune wanted to die. His chest felt like it had been run over by a semi truck, his lungs burned like ther was a literal blaze in them as he chocked on his own spit. Jaunes' training was not going well, Zach was insanely fast inhumanly quick on the draw. Pulling out his pistol faster than Jaune could even think. Firing a shot right into his chest. Making sure to hit Jaune in the exact same spot time and time again. Making Jaune gasp, and shutter, as he knew his ribs were broken as his body now, had a softball sized bruise with welts under it as he stood up.

Zach had been drilling him on the tacit of shoot first think later. The art of having you weapons draw should be the first! Thing that you do in a fight, he wanted Jaune to be able to outdraw anyone, in Beacon. He said if Jaune could get the first! Shot off in a fight the odds of him living went up dramatically. A statement that Jaune did reluctantly agree with, as the boy got up for another round of beatings. And the hits just kept coming, Zach's pistol shot's felt like sledgehammer blows to his chest. As Jaune was lifted up form his feet time and time again.

Yanked up like a giant invisible hand was gripping him by the back of his collar and tossing him on his back. As the bullets slammed into his vest and cracked his chest. As the hours drew by progress was not just slow it was glacial. Even if Jaune had finally! Been able to get his pistol out half way from its holster. Not enough to aim it at Zach but enough so that he flew back with it in the air.
Not perfect but it was something right? As the bullets came and the vest whittled down, Jaune had used over half of the large box of vests as Zach readied for another round as he reloaded his revolver as Jaune breathed.
"Calm down Jaune. Breathe. You are overthinking this. Don't let him get into your mind. Just breath and do what Zach said. Feel the gun. Don't think just shoot." A voice said in his mind as Jaune took a deep breath and-
"Three!"
BANG!
VATHUM!
Jaune's gun fired. As another slide hammer hit his chest as he felt his legs yanked off the ground as blood fille this mouth the taste of iron rolled on his tongue as he slammed on his back a good twelve feet across the floor an-
'You did it! You actually got off a shot!"
"It hurts...
Jaune said barley conscious as Zach yanked him off his back, gripping his hand in his and pulling him up. "Ah don't sweat it, kid! You did well! You didn't hit me, but that was never going to happen! Now let's get you over to Hino for some strength training!" Zach said as Jaune groaned as the boy helped him walk.


"Hello, Jaune. You look well?" Hino asked a concerned look in her brown eyes as she saw the injured boy dragged in front of him. Jaune was currently coughing up a worrying amount of blood onto his uniform. If you could call what he wore a uniform that. As it looked like someone had found a damn stripper outfit and barely passed it off as a uniform as he moaned.
"I'm fine! I think!"
"That's why we are coughing up blood?"
His reflection said as Jaune glared at him.

"I'm fine! I think!"
"He took a few shots, but he's fine. He just needs a breather." Zach said as he let Jaune stood in the new room as Jaune smelled the familiar scent of fresh blood and raw meat. As the carcasses and sandbags hung lowly in the room of Hino's room? If you want to call the large warehouse area full of cow carcasses and sandbags, where a small white lawn chair with a small black radio? Comprised the entirety of her furniture of a room as Hino smiled warmly at him.
"Jaune. If you are not feeling well, we can always train later. We do not need to train right away, even if Roman thinks it is necessary for your excursion. I do not want you to be harmed."
Hino said warmly smiling calmly to him as Jaune felt-
Care. Concern.
Coming from her as he smiled.
"Thanks, Hino! But I'm fine! I can train for a bit!"
"Take her up; I think we are dying."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah! I'm good!"

'We can't feel out legs."

"You are a stronger man than me. Good luck! Don't kill the kid Hino. We need him alive, or Roman does, and he pays the bills! More or less...
Zach said waving his hand as he left the two alone as Hino smiled.
"Ok, since we are doing some light training let's check your shield arm."
"Shield-arm?"
"Yes. I want to see how well you block a strike so I'm going to punch you, and I want you to block me with your shield. I want to see how strong you are so I can better gauge out workouts. I want to put you on a weight routine, but I need to see what you are strong with first. So raise your shield."

Hino sad ben her legs that look wider than tree trunks in her tight black spats that clung to her brown flesh jealousy. Showing off her impressive leg muscles like a second skin. As Jaune blushed looked up at her face briefly stopping at her chest that was chocked! Under her low cut sports top as-
"She's like someone dipped Yang in milk chocolate change her hair to dandy brown cut it added twice the muscles and gave her bigger tits."
His reflection said as Jaune snarled at it and-
"Raise your shield. I won't be holding back so brace yourself." Hino said as she begna sprinting at him, moving at a low jog as-
"Dear god I've heard of sweater puppies but those things are sweater rottweilers."
"Will you not objectify my trainer!? She looks really nice!"
Jaune thought as the woman sprinted at him moving at a low pace before leaping in the air as he raised his shield.
"Ok! Plant your feet, grit your teeth! We got this!"
His reflection said as Jaune nodded bracing himself against his shield as Hino's fist crashed down on him and-
SKRT!
"AHHHHH!"
Jaune screamed at the top of his lungs as the woman's punch landed on his shield and his arm popped! Instantly his shield clanged! To the floor as his arm was ripped free of its socket. Her punch nearly tearing it off as his bone broke free of his skin tearing itself in two as a wave of hot blood poured out of Jaunes ruined arm as he screamed.


"I'm so sorry! Dreadfully sorry about all of this!"
The sharp, calm voice of the faunus doctor Malroque said as the faunus with two animal traits fussed over Jaune.
"Dreadfully sorry about this Jaune! Hino forgets her strength sometimes! You must forgive her! She is a good person!"
The man said as Jaune found it hard to hate anyone right now. How could he? Life was good! He was good! The doctor was good! An-
"We are high as a kite."
His reflection stated as the vast amount of painkillers begin pumped into Jaunes system took effect. After the woman had lightly punched Jaune, Hino's punch basically ripped Jaune's arm out of his socket, nearly taking it full off and shattering. His arm bone, as Hino briefly panicked over Jaunes screaming bleeding form before she rushed the bleeding boy to the doctor, as the man Malrouque quickly! Went about stitching up the wound putting Jaune's arm back in his socket and apply the goop.
The goop! As Malroque had explained to Jaune in his half-lucid state was an experimental type of healing substance that would greatly! Accelerate Jaune's healing as letting him go back to Beacon missing a dam arm was not! Something that Roman wanted as the man had nearly had a heart attack. After seeing Jaune nearly missing an arm, losing his shit yelling at Hino till his throat ran hoarse telling her to please! Not kill thier trainee!

As Malroque sighed putting the last traces of the goop, on to Jaune's arm and smiling.
"Good. He is healing well, the goop will reconstruct his damaged body, and he will be good as new! More or less...
The doctor thought as he remembered the only real downside of the goop. The goop! As it was known as the doctor named it. The goop was his invention after all as an experiential type of healing matter. It used a rare type of dust that if agitated just right! Using a number of slightly legal techniques acted as a rapid organic material replacement substance!
In short, you put the goop on a wound; the goop would flood the body, finding the damaged body systems and replacing them with well, itself.

The matter would literally find broken parts of the body seek them out removing the damaged parts and filling in as their replacements. The goop could grow into any type of organ, bone or orifice in an organic body so long as it knew what body it was going into. So far it was limited to only humans and faunus but! The doctor was pushing for veterinary testing as soon as Roman gave him the ok that was.
The matter would locate, assimilate and replace organic tissue with itself. Growing itself into whatever the body needed to have repaired and literally becoming a part of your body.
Now, this goop was a miracle substance it was not! Perfect, when the goop first replaced matter it took a while for it to gel with its host's form. The goop needed to wait two weeks for it to integrate with the body it was in fully. As it got used to its host's body before fully becoming a part of it, and during those two weeks, the replaced matter was vulnerable. Far weaker than the original organs, or whatever it replaced and much more susceptible to damage and harm.
"Doctor... I... I fell good!"
"That is good Jaune. Now...
The man stopped as he looked down to Jaune's bruised chest, as a frown crossed his face. As he saw an anomaly in his chest as he reached into his white medical jacket before putting a stethoscope to his heart.
"Cold!"
"Jaune. Do you have a heart problem?"
"Yes! Yes, I do!"
"Why have you not seen a doctor?"

Malroque asked not sure why Jaune would not have seen a doctor with a wound such as this. This type of heart damage needed to be seen to as soon as you could-
"They say that can't fix me! They said that I need to let it work itself out! If it odes I wile if not I die!"
Jaune said as a frown crossed his brow. As his cat ears went flat on his face.

"I see... Jaune bite down on this will you?"
The man asked as Jaune nodded as Malroque put a slim wooden stick in his mouth reaching under the medical table gripping a large object that he put on the table grunting as he put on Jaunes neck what looked, like half of a cone that you put on a dog after you take them to the vet. As the man pulled up a silver table to Jaune's side full of sharp silver surgical tools. As the man grumbled to himself attaching a series of white suction cups to Jaune's chest as the boy's vision was obscured by the cone, as the man reached for his tools as Jaune gasped.

The smell of fresh blood filled the air as Jaune bit onto the wood in his mouth. As Marloque bent over his chest, as he took out and put back a series of silver instruments as Jane felt a tingly feeling in his spine as the man hummed quietly for thirty minutes. Working on Jaune's chest as Jaune's still painkiller flooded mind could not make heads nor tails of what the man was doing. Barely noticing the smell of blood and the few sharp tings! Of metal instruments being placed back onto thier gurney covered in blood. As the doctor moved silently over his chest before sighing heavily. Moving around Jaune's chest one more time grunting as he removed the cone form Jaunes neck. Showing Jaune a freshly stitched up body as he blinked rapidly as the painkillers began to fade.

"Doctor? What did you do...
Jaune asked the painkillers finally! Wearing off as the man smiled.
"I fixed your heart! No need to thank me."
The doctor said calmly his crystal blue eyes shining as his faunus ears and tail wagged happily as Jaune balked.

"You fixed my heart!? How!? The doctor said that it couldn't' be operated on!"
"Really? It was not that hard. I just altered your aura sending it itno flux before I worked on the damaged heart, before replacing and repairing what was wrong and voila! Now you have a perfectly healthy heart! Hold your applause please." The man said bowing as Jaune balked.
"You... you really fixed me?"
"Of course I did! Now don't get hit in the chest or the arm for two weeks. You will die."


"So how was training?"
Blake as she chaperoned Jaune and Ren back to Beacon. Jaune's training with Zach and Hino had ended without incident thankfully. Although Blake could still! Smell fresh blood on him, and even after a thorough check of his body Blake found not a scratch on him. Making Jaune's explanation of hitting one of Hino's cow carcasses that she likes to punch make more sense.
If not for the fact that she smelled human blood on him, not an animal. And worse it was his blood that was spilled. Meaning either Jaune was keeping a vial of his own blood on him that he spilled or he was laying and doing a damn good job.
"If you think being cute will stop me from finding out the truth you have another thing coming." Blake thought trying to see if Jaune was reading her mind or not as the cute boy paid her no mind as they walked back to Beacon. The faunus narrowed her eyes as she went for a different approach. "You have a nice ass."
Blake thought staring at the boy as Jaune blushed as he spared Blake a flushed look his cheeks red as she smiled.
"That's what you get for being nosy." Blake thought smugly as the three walked back to Beacon. It was late at night well past seven Pm and it was time to go home. Blake had decided to take Jaune and Ren across a shortcut of the bad side of town. Taking them past the area that they had once fought the Fang at the docs, near what she knew was not the best part of the town. Not too concerned that they would find trouble and-
"Bad guys!"
Ren suddenly yelled as he pointed to his left as Blakes jaw nearly left he mouth. As the three students paused as they saw a wave of fang grunts unloading a series of brown boxes from a docked ship tearing apart another ship as the first terrorist saw them as the fang saw them and froze the two sides stared at one another for two minutes the two sides stared. Neither moving, neither making a move the Fang staring at the hunters and the hunters staring at the Fang. Both fixed in the spot as-
"Fang! Guys! The White Fang is here!" Ren said far too happy as he pointed at the Fang grunts as Blake balked. This was bad, the three were in the wrong part of town, but Blake was betting on the fact that Fang thought they could be allies. Before Jaune's words about their supposed double agent status in the Fang as most. Of the Fang believed that they were hunters in training and-
"I know those two! They broke up the rally!"
One woman said as the Fang began to draw thier weapons. As Blake took in their surroundings, they were in front of a construction site where it looked like a typical fang operation.

The three had literally walked past a scrap job. The standard way the Fang broke down raw resources for their organization. As Blake saw an old decommissioned warship hoisted in mid-air. Form the looks of it, it was an old skipper model of a naval flotilla. Not used for many years and-
"Ok. I'm only going to say this once. All three of you need to leave. Now."
An irritated feminine voice said as a leader walked forward. Blakes eyes instantly locked on to the girl as she noticed two things about her. One she was a human, not a faunus.

Two she had aura. The girl was wearing a Fang mask and walking with a calm confidence. She had light brown mocha colored skin and flowing green hair that went down to her waist and-
"All of you, leave. You don't have to die, and I'm not in the mood to kill anyone right now." The woman said in a low irritated growl as-
"You are all under arrest!"
Ren said walking forward as Blake began to growl.
"Ren don't-
'Give up now, and you won't be hurt."
Jaune said as Blakes jaw dropped and-
"Your funeral blondie."
The woman was walking in front of the fang draw a long sickle-like chain and swing it around lazily as the Fang pulled their weapons and the hunters began to walk.

"Jaune! What are we doing?!"
Blake hissed as she followed the two boys forward as Jaune glared at the woman.
"I'm trying to sell us as Beacon students!"
"Jaune! If we fight, we coudl all die!"
Blake hissed as-
"She's right kid. Leave now, you don't have to die today."
A faunus woman with bat ears sid as Jaune glared at her.
"We need to do this Blake. We don't have to kill them-
"Let's take the skin form thier skulls!"

Ren shouted as he jumped mid-air clicking! His heels together in a bizarrely cute manner as Blake sighed.
"We are all going to die."
"Not today. Now here's' the plan. Ren clear the perimeter. Don't let a sharpshooter get a bead on us."
"Got it!"
"Blake go high, look at those gantries, go up there and take down anyone that you deem to be a threat. Don't let any troublesome Fang live too long."
"Alright and you?"
"I got the one with brown skin. I'll hold her off."
"You mean you will die in the process kid. You came to the wrong part of town."

The woman said as Jaune glared at her drawing his real weapons. His knife and hatchet in both hands. As he raised his shield on his recently healed arm as he walked forward to the Faunus as the teens drew their weapons. Jaune with his knife hatchet, Blake with her strange Gun whip sword. And Ren with his eclectic assault rifle that shot out glowing electricity and-
"Ren? What the hell is that?" Jaune asked finally taking notice of the bizarre rifle in Ren's hands. As Ren held some type of energy weapon in his arms that crackled ominously with light blue electricity and-
"Future gun!"
Ren said happily as Jaune's jaw dropped.
"Where did you get a future gun, Ren?"
"AHAHHAHAHAHHAH!"
Ren laughed manically as Jaune nodded once, not having the time or will to question him further.
"Ok. I won't ask. Don't hit us with that thing ok?"
"No promises!"

"Great. What did I expect?" Jaune asked as-
"~X Gon give it to you! What!? Fuck waiting around X gonna-
"Ren? Why are you playing music?" Jaune asked as the boy begna blasting rap from his scroll and-
"We need fighting music!"
"No. No, we don't."
"But I want it!"
"Ren. Turn it off. Play it if we survive-
"Are you two done? Cause I got to get home. My boyfriend gets lonely if I'm not here, and I haven't seen him all day. And I don't trust him to be alone without burning down our apartment or hurting himself, so can we speed this along? I don't want to get that much blood on my weapons."

The girl said irritably as Jaune glared.

"If you say so."
"I do."

The girl said as she begna walking to Jaune. Her thing body sashaying up to him as she lazily hypnotically swung her scythe chin as Jaune gripped his weapons. Holding them up in a cross over his face as-
'Keep calm. She's strong we need to plan this one out.
His reflection said in his shield as he took a step forward.
"You don't have to fight. If you give up, you won't get hurt."

Jaune said trying to buy time to think of a way to defeat the brown skinned woman as she cracked her knuckles.
"Kid. You are the only one in danger of getting hurt.'
"You say that. But I'm not that weak."
"Oh, I don't doubt it! You are a big, strong independent man who doesn't need no woman! Right?"
"Listen to me you-
"Jaune? Who are you talking to?"
Ren asked as Jaune blinked as the woman vanished? Into thin air. She was gone!? She had been standing right there a moment ago and now-
"What the-
WHAP!
Jaune's face exploded in pain as a punch landed on his face as the woman appeared as she launched him back as Blake screamed. Running forward to help Jaune only to be forced back as a hail of gunfire washed her position. Making her teleport away as Ren laughed manically running into the ray as his guns coils charged up, as Jaune rolled to his feet spitting out blood and the shooting began as the fight was on.


"GAH!" Jaune yelled as he rolled to his feet, knife and hatchet out as he stared at the woman spinning her long golden chain as the sounds of sporadic gunfire filled the air. As Jaune seethed at the woman with green hair.
"How the hell did she do that?" Jaune thoguht as his reflection frowned.
"No idea, one second she was in front of us, the next she was gone! I didn't take my eyes off of her for a second!"
"Great. Now-
"You really should have listened to me, now you are probably going to die here."
The woman said in that same irritably smug voice as she swung her chain whips in a low loop as Jaune began to defend himself.
"Watch her feet. We can tell if she's going to move."
His reflection said as Jaune nodded.
"You got lucky last time, it won't happen again."

Jaune said as the two began to circle one another as the woman smirked.
"Kid, I am lucky, but luck had nothing to do with it." The woman said smirking behind her mask as she tossed her chain behind her back.
"Here it comes!"
His reflection said and-
WHAP!
Jaune face burst as the end?! Of the chain hit him from the left side of his face as he was lifted off his feet. As a freight train struck his face, as the woman vanished. Despairing from the air as he felt her chain wrap around his arm and-
"GAH!"
Jaune screamed as another punch landed on his face making his aura flare up as the woman laned two consecutive punches on him. One striking min squared his face the other his gut. Lifting him off his feet as he grunted in pain. Before another connected with his face sending him spinning as the woman laned a brutal haymaker that Jaune was sure, would dislodge his fake teeth as he hit the ground with a hard smack!
As the force of the punch made him bounce! And roll several feet his world spinning as stars bork across his face as he rolled to a low halt on the gravel of the construction site as the woman sighed.
"You dead yet? If not you can just lay down. I won't kill you if you do. FYI."
"Not an option. A Vesperax never quits!"
Jaune said as the woman sighed.

"Fine. have it your way. I'll make this one quick." She said as Jaune glared at her.
"It has to be her semblance."
"I know."
"Check her head."
"On it."
Jaune thought as he tossed a lasso on the woman as-
"Ok, just like that, keep talking to thin air buddy. I going to take your neck real smooth like ok?" A voice crept into his mind as-
"You really do not know when to quit!"
The woman? Said as Jaune hard twin voices as-
"On your left"!
The voice thought as Jaune ducked hitting the ground barely avoiding a sickle to his neck, as the woman appeared out of thin air her attack barely missing his jugular as she rolled on to the ground.

"The hell? How did you dodge?"
The woman thought rolling on her feet a Jaune balked.
"She can teleport?"
"No. We would have felt a disturbance in space-time, like when Neo pops! She's doing something else."
His shield said as the woman frowned.
"Well, I guess I can just beat him to death. Not elegant but it works out." The woman thought charging Jaune launching her strange scythe at him, locking it around his leg and yanking him off his feet.
"You really should have laid down!"
The woman thought as Jaune smiled as she yanked him to her. The other end of her chain scythe held high as Jaune grinned.
She missed her hit, as Jaune twisted under her strike at the last possible second.
As he slammed into the woman's legs, forcing all of his aura into his knife as he slammed it down into the back of her ankle.

Hitting her Achilles tendon making the woman cry out as Jaune's knife penetrated her aura digging into her skin nad-
"Fuck! You little shit! You are gonna pay for that!"
The woman thought as Jaune spun around her, clinging into her oddly soft flesh and climbing her back like a monkey. Making the woman's hands scramble to grip him as he yanked her long green hair making her yelp.
"Hey! You fucker! Watch the hair!"
The woman shouted as Jaune pulled out his hatchet and chopped her neck. His weapon slashing into her neck making her aura flare up bright green as she grimaced in pain, as he brought his hatchet up again, and again. As he slammed his stell into her neck.

Hacking at her like a mad lumberjack before a hand gripped his shoulder. Pulling him off her back and slamming him inot the ground. Making Jaune gasp as Emerald slammed him inot the ground and-
"AHH!"
Jaune screamed as she stabbed his recent heald arm with her sickle. As Jaune howled in pain as his aura flared up and-
BANG! BANG!

Jaune cried as twin bullets hit his neck. As the woman shot him dead center as she fired into his neck. Making his world explode in pain as his aura flared up to defend him and-
FWAP!
Emerald delivered a powerful roundhouse kick straight to his face. Her brown boot slamming Jaunes face causing his aura to pop! As his aura broke and blood flew into the air. As Emerald saw chunks of teeth on his face. As the boy screamed in pain falling on his back, Emerald wasted no time.
She ran forward to the boy read to slit his throat before-
"AH!"
Emerald cried as the boy dived forward slashing her ankle with his hatchet, striking right in her ankle. Making her cry out as he hooked her leg using her foot as a fulcrum to swing up to her face and slash it with his weapon.

"AHH!"

The woman yelped as Jaune's hatchet sank into her body, her aura fading as it powered through it and slashed into her neck. Taking a deep gouge of her flesh as Jaune yanked! It out of her flesh as she cried out as they were both covered in hot blood.

"Damn it!"
The woman yelled her body already stitching itself up as Jaune twirled his weapons at her menacingly.

"She uses some type of obfuscating ability, don't let her get the drop on you!"
Jaune's reflection said through the blood on his hatchet as he nodded. The woman apparently was having none of it as blood leaked from her neck as she growled.
"You are dead!"
She shouted before her chain lashed out faster than Jaune could think as it crashed into his gut. Making the breath leave his lungs as he gasped! As he felt is chest buckle and-
THWACK!
Emerald sliced Jaune in the face. Running her sickle down his face making him scream as blood pouted form his head as his aura faded and poped! As his aura finally gave out, Emerald followed up her attack with a devasting kick to his chest. Sending Jaune flying back as he gagged on is blood.
The boy hit the gravel with a hard Thud!

Sliding across the crunching heat as he sprung up Emerald was already on him.
She yanked her chain onto his left arm, pulling towards her only to stab him right in the gut. Her sickle going clean through the boy's stomach. Tearing through his beacon uniform and slicing open his stomach as she landed a critical hit on the boy.

Jaune screamed. The metal in his gut burned, as he felt his pulse quicken and dim, as he coudl tell a near fatal blow as it happened...
Jaune felt it coming the panic, the pressure the stress. It built up around him, as bullets flew and screams were heard around him. As the woman cruely twisted her kife in his gut making him spit up his own blood as he cried out.

Jaune heard them, he heard the voice and feeling around him, it was like a tidal wave of Anger. Pain. Fear. Suffering. Washed over him as lives were snuffed out and bullets flew as Jaune snapped!
His blood quickened, and his vision dimmed as all light left his eyes as a glowing circle appearing in his vision as a bell told a loud gong!
Was heard in his mind as a shock wave reverberated through his body as a voice spoke in his head.
"And now the true test."
An old and tired voice with the weight of eternity said as Jaune felt his stress checked and-
"Powerful!"
A booming voice shouted as Jaune glowed. His entire body became bright as his hair as aura begna to glow. His blood pumped! His pulse quickened! And a tidal wave of raw power flooded through his veins, coursing through his limbs reinvigorating his tattered body as his eyes glowed bright yellow as he passed a test as the voice shouted in his head.
"Anger is power, use it."
The voice said darkly as Jaune rose up from his downed state his hatched up and sliced down a mighty roar on his lips as he hacked downward. The woman screamed as his hatchet split her mask in half. Revealing a beautiful chocolate skinned face with hateful red eye burning it, as Jaunes blade split her face open.

The woman cried as a thin line was opened in her face as Jaune's hatchet traced down her skin before finally reaching her breasts. Where it lodged itself in her chest as-
Bang!
Jaune fire his regular pistol inot her mask, unloading three quick shots into her had. As her aura fizzled out as the woman fell back stumbling bleeding profusely from her wounds as Jaune kept firing on her.
BANG!
He fired again placing three shots into her body, not letting up as he emptied the entire pistol magazine into her. Every bullet dug into her flesh and sent her jerking as he advanced on the stunned woman her body shaking as-
WHAP!
Jaune punched her. His fist glowing yellow as he landed a haymaker punch to her jaw. Splitting her bruised nose open and filling the air with blood as-

WHAP!
Both combatants punched the other, at the same time. Twin punches landing on both faces as they knocked each other around. Jaune and Emerald swing before-

VISSXXTTT!
A wave of electricity filled the air making both fighters hairs stand on end as a lighting arc of electricity arced through the air. As dozens of voices were silenced in a moment. As a wave of bloody mist slammed over Jaune and his opponent.

Sending them both rolling back, their ears ringing and their hairs standing dead straight as a wave of ionized blood fell over them gagging thier mouths as thier vision swam with pain as the two began to brawl.
Instantly Jaune went into drunken boxing stance just like Qrow had taught him. Practically bounding on his feet as Emerald took her own unarmed stance as the two fought, charging head first at one another as their fists met flesh and blood was soon spilled it was a messy brutal drawn out affair.
As the heavy Thuds!
Of flesh hitting flesh filled the air followed by the hot red sprays of blood and spit filled the air as the two brutalized each other.
No one backed down, no one took one step backward, how could they?

Both combats became locked in a frenzy of blood and madness as flesh tore into flesh and bullets fired as Emerald placed more desperate shots into Jaune as her bullets landed only making him hit harder as Jaune finally!
Ducked on of her sing popping! The shield off of his arm and expanding it before planting his feet and deliver a home run swing with it that caught Emerald square in her jaw.
WHAP!
The thief was lifted off her feet as he mouth snapped! As Emerald fell backward, blood flying freely from her face as Jaune passed as-
A shadow fell over him as Jaune acted. He never felt his hand reach into his back ankles pocket as he drew Shorty.
Pointing the custom sawed-off shotgun at the Fang grunt trying to sneak up on him as he raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
VOOSH!
The sound of rushing air filled his ears as the woman's torso vanished. Evaporating in a wave of pink mist as her entire upper body disintegrated. As the sound of sucking air filled the battle zone as Jaune saw it. The woman was up, her pistol pointed straight at his face as she red the kill shot as she pulled the trigger hate in her red eyes and-
"Leave my friends alone!"
A voice said as twin swords slammed in front of Jaune.

FIT! FIT!
Twin swords hit as the woman gasped falling back as-
"Penny!?"
Jaune asked as the red-headed ginger appeared out of nowhere as she fired town laser at the woman making her flee back as she turned to Jaune smiling.
"Friend Jaune! I am back, and you will be pleased to know that I have acquired genitalia!"


"Dammit Jaune! You better live!"
Blake thought as she tore into the construction site. She had been forced out of the main fight and more importantly away from Jaune by a barrage of, and now she was running through the occupied enemy catwalks that the Fang were using to rain death down on Jaune and Ren. As she ran through the catwalks, Gambol Shroud was already out as she found her first target.
A Fang woman aiming down firing onto the center of the arena as-
"GAH!"
The woman cried out as Gambol Shroud stabbed into her leg as Blake launched her sword thankful that she had no aura. As her blade cut deep into the woman's thigh. Making her cry out and drop her gun before Blake yanked! The blade out in a shower of blood causing the woman scream before placing the tip of her sword at her neck and slicing her jugular.

There was a horrible gurgling sound as the woman died. Collapsing onto the ground into a still heap of limbs Blake was already moving. The sound of gunfire was only picking up, as she head d Jaune fought the woman in green, as the sounds of Ren being... him... filled the air as shrieks and cries of pain followed by shrill laughter reached her ears.
"Bloody psychopath."
Blake thought as she ran into tow more Fang woman. She wasted no time, rolling herself into a ball and pushing her self forward. Summersaulting into tyme punching one woman int he faces. Making her hiss as her aura blocked the hit as the woman fell back hissing in pain.

Blake drew her pistol and raised it firing twice into the other woman. As two sharp bangs! Filled the ait as she put two bullets in her skull killing her instantly. As the woman fell back, Blake focused on the other one. This time infusing her fist with her aura delivering a haymaker to her neck making the woman gag!
As she choked on her own spit before she raised her pistol and shot her in between the eyes. Her gun jerked as the woman did. Her aura gone as Blake was already sprinting, she needed to clean up any remaining snipers before-

VISSHXXTTT! A wave of electricity filled the air filling her ears with sharp knives making her howl in agony as she dropped to her knees and the world collapsed.
Blake screamed as her world fell, as someone shot out the gantry beneath her making her catgirl drop face first onto the cold metal. As she hit the metal floor beams with a hard whack!
Her eyes rolled in patina as her world spun and-
A gun barrel was at her face as a Fang grunt caught her off guard, raised her blocky assault rifle at her face and-
Bang!
The woman exploded in a shower of blood. As she was torn in two as her body ripped like a wet ballon showering the area with blood and viscera as a canon? Shot sounded and-
Blakes miracle was short-lived as three more Fang grunt came readying their assault rifle as Balke prep for the pain of bullets and-
Click!
"Jammed?"
Blake thought as all three weapons jammed? At once as the bullet never came as the fang experienced what looked to be a severe spell of bad luck before-
FISHT!
"GAH!

A woman screamed as a scythe!? Burst through her chest. Impaling her through her chest, as she cried as she was skewered completely. The blake cutting deeply inot her lifting her up before-
FSHT!
The woman's cries were cut short as she was ripped in half, as the scythe tore her in two. Ripping her into bloody halves as-
"Qrow!?"
Blake asked as the man Qrow Branwen? Appeared behind the fang. Slamming his scythe in another fang member impaling her leg making her howl before he yanked her up. Tearing out his cutter and most of her leg before running the though in one smooth motion. Splitt her in three before punching. The other woman in the face making her twist back before gripping and snapping her neck in a brutal pop!

As Qorw sighed wiped the blood from his pants as he smiled his burning red eyes and odd raven head totem glared balefully at her.
"Hey, kinky cat! You're sober!" Qrow said as he winked at Blake.


"Friend Jaune! How are you doing?"
Penny said bowing to Jaune as-
"Oh my goodness! You are severely injured! Please take cover behind me while I protect you!"
Penny said as she jumped to him arms out like a cross as the strange girl stood in front of his as her floating sword began firing at the few surviving Fang members as Penny started gunning them down and-

"Jaune! The weird girl's here! Make her go away!"
Ren whined as he popped! Back into reality as he wiped the blood from his pants and-
"Kid? You look like hell! Nice."
Qrow!? Said as he appeared behind Jaune mocking his apparent half dead form and-
"Jaune!"
"Bla-
"Hold still!"
Blake said rushing to Jaune tearing off her bow wrapping it around one of his wounds. As she bandaged his body. Making sure he would bleed out slower as-
Panic. Fear.
Came from her body and-
"Penny! Call a medical bullhead and-
"Already on it friend Blake! I have one on the way as we speak!" Penny said happily as a smiled broke her face and-
"Penny! Get down!"
Jaune yelled as he saw a bleeding out Fang member taking aim at Penny as he tackled the girl to the ground shield out. As he took a hail of bullets into his guard blocking some with his weapon the rest with his side. As he grunted in pain and-
Bang!
Qrow killed the woman instantly with a cannon shot as-
"Friend Jaune!? What are you doing?!"
Penny yelled as even if he coudl be read her mind, he saw the anger in her green eyes and-
"You risked nonfunctioning! Why!?"
Penny asked as she ripped open Jaune's uniform as he hissed and-
"Coco is going to kill us, you know?"

"Penny! What's the problem?"
"You! You did not need to put yourself at needles risk!"
She yelled as Jaune grimaced as a bullhead landed in the area filling it with light and dust as Jaune hissed.


"Jaune my boy! We really must stop meeting like this!"
The calm voice of Ironwood said, as he Jaune, Blake, Qrow, Ren, Penny, and Winter? All resorted in a medical bullhead belong to Atlas as they went somewhere? Jaune had no idea where the hell they where going as the Atlas medics had finished bandaging thier wounds. Jaune was the worst, looking like he had been run over by a damn truck. Ren was next looking like he had been tossed into a pit of bayonets. His face a mess of stabs and jabs as he smiled absentmindedly humming loudly on the sterile Atlas hull of the hips as Blake who was practically unscathed looked on as-
Guilt.
Flooded form her and-
"Sir? Where are we going?"
Jaune asked as the craft rocked in the air as the general smiled.
"Sir? Jaune my boy! Call me James! Or Jimmy! We are going to a friendly place! Where I am afraid, I must ask a favor of you three."
The man said somberly as he bowed his head to them.
"Oh boy, Jimmy is asking for favors again! Watch out!"
Qrow said tiredly as he took a swig from his flask as-
"Qrow, can you not drink while on a mission? I know you like your liquor but when you are under direct orders from me can you attempt to be sober?" Ironwood asked as he smiled? Warmly at the man as Qrow shrugged his shoulders at once.
"Hell, if I don't have crippling depression then yeah. I can do sober for-
Whap!
"Ow!"
"Don't be smart. You can drink later."
Winter said appearing from behind Qrow giving him a light whack on the back of his head before taking his flask away from him and rubbing his head in an oddly cute way and-
"What type of favor do you need?" Blake asked as-
"Simple! You see the three of you have been quite! The active campers and well, I would like it if you all could do a little press conference." James said as their eyes widened...


"Cinder Fall?" Opal asked as the woman Cinder? Walked in, she was a tall woman. Near six foot eight, with a long flowing raven hair that ran from her head to her feet. She had eyes the shimmered like hot gold, and her skin was literally flawless.
Opal squinted as she saw that Cinder? Was perfect, she had no blemishes on her skin whatsoever, her body was a literal perfect hourglass form. With an impossibly curvy waist that drew every set of eyes to it, as she wore a form-fitting silver dress that clung jealously to her figure. In a typical Atlas battle dress.
As she sashayed into the room, her long silver heels clicked! On the carpet, she smiled a beatific smile to Opal.

"Headmistress Opal. A pleasure to finally meet you." Cinder said in a rich, creamy voice that burned to listen to as Opal squinted at her.
"You too, Miss Fall? I am sorry, but I have never heard of you before." Opal said as her eyes narrow dangerously at Cinder as she raised a hand to her mouth and smiled warmly.
"Oh, that's fine mam. You probably would not have had a reason to hear of me."

Cinder said easily batting the topic away as Opal grimaced.
"You don't understand. I know many things, I pride myself on my knowledge. You are one of Jame's best and the fact that I have never heard of you is quite... intriguing. If I do say so my self."
"You have nothing to fear Opal! Cinder is my best student! I vouch for her myself!"
Ironwood said as Cinder nodded smoothly to him.
"The man speaks the truth, I am one of his best, but I am quite humble about it-
"Not so humble that you don't say that you are," Glynda said her eyes narrowed to daggers on the Cider woman as she smiled. "Miss GoodWitch. I have heard of you. I must say that I admire you more than I can say. You are quite the model for aspiring huntresses. In fact, you were my role model when I was young."
Cinder said as Glynda took a step back.
"I.. thank you?"
"No problem. You are an exemplary example of well one can handle the issues of age, without losing a step or two." Cinder said bowing as Glynda gripped her crop and-
"Enough. Cinder what do you wish to discuss?"
"Thank you, Mam. What I wish to discuss is simple. Vale and Atlas are allies. We need to strengthen our alliance."
"What do you mean?"
"I believe we need to show the people that we are allied. That we can give them a tangible example of our alliance and trust.'
"A real example? What do you mean?"
"In two days you will have the beginning of your annual expeditions. I suggest that you send off the students from your school from the generals fleet."
Cinder offered as Opal gave her a curious look, as she took a long sip from her mug as she eyed the woman.

"The fleet?"
"Yes. Remove the students from the school, and have them depart from the Atlas fleet. This will show our solidarity with Vale and show that we are actively working together to serve both of our nation's future."
"That... makes some level of sense...
Glynda said as Opal nodded.
"You have a point. You believe that showing a combined force of Atlas and Vale will strengthen out alliances?"
"Yes."
"Where will the fleet disperse my students?"
"I am thinking they do it from the edges of Vale, two miles out from the city."
"Two miles? That will remove every huntress from the city limits. That will leave the town defenseless."
Glynda said a worried on in her voice and-
"Defenslees? Mam, there is no danger in Vale. It is guarded by walls, and it had its own police force. How can you say defenseless? What will attack it?"

Cinder asked a light playful smirk on her face as Glynda frowned.
"There could be Grimm attacks."
"Grimm? In the city? How would they just appear inside? How would they get past the walls with no one noticing?"
"I...
"She has a point, Glynda. There is no reasonable way for a Grimm to breach the walls. They would have to burrow under the streets to get in here. Unless the breached from beneath the surface, I don't see how the city is in much danger."
"Thank you, mam."
"But Opal, removing any! Of our defenses is a bad idea and-

"Opal. I took a risk to bring my fleet here and keeping it here? There are many in Atlas myself included who want the fleet at home. If you don't help me get the public support I might be forced to recall my fleet."

Ironwood said in a threatening tome as Opal glared at him before sighing.

"Fine. We will have the vast majority of our students depart on the ships the day after tomorrow."

Opal said Cinder turned her scalding eyes to Opal with an intrigued look on them.
"The vast majority? Who will not be departing?"

"Oh. This team, as you may or may not know. We mix teams together for this operation. For this one one of our very own teacher Oobleck, along with Lie Ren, Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna and-
Cinder gasped as Opal held out a photo as her eyes died as her mask broke. The carefully constructed mask that Opal had seen easily enough for what it was broke as she looked at the picture in her hands as a low trembel ran through her body.

"Opal... this boy... will he be going on this mission?" Cinder asked her voice barely above a whisper as Opal frowned.
"Jaune Arc? Yes, he will be there. Why?"
"I... nevermind. That is good. I'm glad we see eye to eye on this matter." Cinder said as Opal nodded.
"So am I Cinder. So am I." Opal said as she eyed the strange woman in her silver battle dress with a wary expression.


"Ironwood! Tell us what happened out there today!"
A sharp voice said from a crowd of humanity as James smiled.
"Well! Let me tell you, mam! Today several Beacon students tracked and engaged a dangerous! White Fang terrorist group for the second! Time this week!"

Ironwood said to the gathered reporters as the room burst with energy.
"Really!? What happened to them!?"
"Are those the students behind you!?"
A chorus of voice asked as cameras flashed in a cacophony of light and sound as James smiled.

"Yes! Let me show you the heroes of Vale! Jaune Arc! Lie Ren! And Blake Belladonna! These three put there lives on the line for the good people of the city, and I am proud to call them my friends!"
The man said showing off the students like they were meat on the rack. The reporters gasped as Jaune and Ren took centerfold. Jaune's eyes black and purple as his face was covered in scars and bruises. As he looked like hell as held his head up high as a wave of light and sound crashed over him.
Ren looked like a chipper woodpecker that had been smack by a cheeses grater. As he waved to the crowd of assembled reporters and-
"What happened out there!?"
"Are the boys ok!?"
"Jaune Arc!? Of the Arc clan!? That Jaune Arc!?"
A reporter said as the room burst into chaos and-
"Calm down! Everyone! Calm down! Yes, that is the Jaune Arc, and he is a personal friend of mine." The man said smiling as Jaune waved nervously at him and-
"How long did you know him!?"
"What is his sta as a minor!?"
"Does your family know you are here Jaune?!"

The room burst into a series of questions and flashed of light as-

"Don't worry. I'm here for you, don't be scared."

Blake thought into his head as she held his hand, gripping it tightly. Oddly enough Jaune did not feel bothered by the reporters. In fact, he welcomed their questions. He was the one to fight the fang. He battled the Grimm. He was strong. He was powerful-

"Enough! These boys and girls are injured. They took severe injuries in the line of duty and where save but he quick acting Atlas support of Penny Polendina! And Winter Schnee!" The general said as Penny and Winter stepped forward. WInter bowing graciously to the crowd while Penny fakes smiled and shot daggers at Jaune.
"Why is she so mad at us?"
"How the hell do I know? She's a woman, they don't make sense."

His shield said as-
"General! Why did you save them? Where was Opal?"
A reporter asked as James grinned like a Beowulf.

"AH! Opal is busy running a school! I can't have her put out all her fires you know?"
"But this is her city! You are jsut visiting! How do you manage a school? The army and! The fires in Vale?"
"Well for one the trick is that you can never sleep."

The man said in a calm tone flashing the reporter an easy smile as a low laugh filled the room as he grinned.
"The real test is simple. You need to be honest with those around you. I do not lie, I am transparent in all things. I am a public servant at heart, and I will save the life of whatever public I may be at, at the time."

The man said bowing as the crowd ate it up.
"But what about you? You got injured in your last skirmish!"
"And? I am not here to live you do realize? I am an agent to protect people, and if I die doing that? Then it was a death well earned." The man said as the room burst. As cries and questions shout out to the man as even Ironwoods monstrous charisma could not beat down. As Jaune felt Blake double the grip on his hand as she smiled at him. Making his heart flush as he twisted the necklace on his neck grateful that she was keeping his semblance focused on her and not the maddening cacophony of voices in the room. As Winter shouted the crowd down.

"Enough! The general has taken all the questions for today! If you have any more please save them for later on!" Winter said as she pushed them all off stage as the crowd burst into even more rabid questions as they left the press conference.


"You all did great! We had them eating out of the palm of our hand out there!"
James said as the conference had ended and now the trip back to Beacon began as Jaune nodded as-
"Here. Put this on your wounds. All of you, it will help your healing." Winter said as she pulled out a small container full of blue liquid and-
"The goop?"
His reflection asked as-
"Winter? What is that?"

Jaune asked as he swore he saw the goop in her container, but that was ridiculous! Malroque made the goop and he was a criminal! Winter could never have it and-
"This is an invention of mine Jaune. I call Intelligent organic replacement material. It will heal your wounds for you."
Winter said taking out the goop. As Jaune knew it was the goop, putting it into a long silver syringe. Gathering a large amount of the goop into the syringe before-
"AHH!"
Ren cried out as Winter stabbed his arm, jabbing her needle into his arm going straight through his shit. Making him yelp! As she stabbed a half foot needle into him as Blake hissed before-
FISHT!
Blake cried as Winter injected her arm making the cat girl hiss at her, flashing her teeth as she came to Jaune.
"Arm please."
Winter said calmly as Jaune paled as the sight of a needle almost half as long as his arm as he gulped.

"I-
FISHT!
"AH!"
Jaune yelled as Winter stabbed him as he instantly felt his body heal. As his wounds already began to reknit to full health as Jaune sighed as he was healed.
"James...
"Yes, Blake? Speak your mind. You are among friends here."

The man said as he took out a small flask taking a swing after giving a brief toast with Qrow who was lazing in the back of the bullhead sneaking not so discreet glances at his wife as she bent over to deliver the injections.

"Diry old bird."

"Right?"
"Why did Qrow not get credit for the fight? He was there to save me?"
"I don't do public exposure kid. You know how it is right?"

Qrow said taking a swift drag from his flask as Winter shook her head slowly at him.

"Not really no. I'd think you would want the credit for your actions. Not to hide away after you did them."
"Oh? This from the ex-terrorist?"
Qrow asked calmly as Blake froze and-
"Fear not Blake. We know you are here to redeem yourself."

Ironwood said as Blake smiled as-
"But if you ever cross us you will be in jail for the rest of your long life."
Winter hissed in her ear making her cat ears go falt on her head as-
"We are here. Every one loadout! It's time to go home kids." Ironwood said as the arrived at Beacon as Jaune sighed.


"You know I'm getting a strange sense of dejavu you know?"

Jaune's reflection asked as he gaged. Ruby was cracking his head in a death grip in the cafeteria. Going between yelling at him and petting him. Furious that he got hurt but grateful that he was ok.
As Weiss, Yang, Pyrrha and! Nora laid into Blake who looked ready to teleport away or stab someone as-
"Excuse me. Children."
Glynda said appearing from behind them and breaking up the gaggle of students. A tired look on her pale beautiful face as-
"Friend Jaune!"
A chirpy voice said from behind her as a red-headed green-eyed girl that was not his red head popped out from behind her as Jaune balked.

"Penny? What are you doing here."
"Simple! I have stupendous news! Tell them to miss GoodWitch!"

The girl said practically bouncing on her heels as Glynda sighed rubbing her head as she mumbled under her breath.,.
"Yes... Team JNPR. From this day till the end of the semester you will have a ... auxiliary member."
The dean said as JNPR cocked ther heads.
"Auxillary mam?"
"Yes miss Nikos. From now until the end of VYTAL Penny is your new teammate. Please treat her well..." The woman said as Penny smiled at the table.
"Salutations future friends! My name is Penny! Penny Polendina! And it is a pleasure to meet you!" Penny said smiling happily at the table and-
"Penny?"
Ruby asked not sure if she knew the redhead's name still and worried that she might forget and offend her-
"AH! Friend Ruby! It has been some time since we last spoke! I am glad to see your body is healing nicely! Despite your damaged lung that is."
Penny said as Ruby grimaced as the awkward girl shuffled nervously in her char.
"Umm... yeah! I...
'Penny? What are you doing here?"
"Freind Jaune! As I said, I am now a temporary member of team JNPR! It is a pleasure to meet you, fellow teammates!"

"Ummm... hi?" Nora asked not sure how to deal with the strange bubbly ginger girl in front of her as she was briefly not giving Blake third degree and-
"Penny is it? It is grand to meet you." Pyrrha said calmly as she bowed to Penny.
"AH! You are Jaunes partner! Great!"
Penny said as Jaune swore! Her eyes flashed red as a targeting reticle? Appeared on her eyes?
"Did... did you just see that shit? Or am I just losing it?"
His reflection asked as Jaune nodded.
"No... I saw it too... don't know what the hell it was."
"It looked like a damn bullseye popped up in her eyes... that's not normal... is it?"

"Not that I know...
Jaune thought as he looked to the chirpy ginger.
"Penny? Why are you on our team?"
"Simple! I am here because of you!"
Anger. Jealousy. Worry.
"Me? What did I do?" Jaune asked as Ruby gave his arm tight with a squeeze! As-
"You saved my life. I might have been terminated if not for you. And I must! Repay you for that." Penny said bowing her head, as she got to one knee in front of Jaune.
"Penny? What are-
"Jaune Vesperax. I Penny Polendina, will swear this to you. For the saving of my life, I will repay you with my own."
"Repay me with your own? What does that mean?"
"It means that from this day on I will never leave your side. I will be a shield for you for the rest of your existence, and I will protect you no matter the cost."
"Hey already has a shield."
Anger.

Pyrrha practically hissed at Penny as-
"Oh! I am so sorry! I did not know you were his guardian. You can be his other shield!" Penny said in a far too cute! Voice as-
"Other shield? Why do you say-
"Oh! I meant other as in the lesser shield."
Spite.
"Lesser? Please elaborate on that Penny." Pyrrha said grinding her teeth and-
"Simple! You are a bad guard! Ever since you became his partner, he has been shot, stabbed, beaten, and lit on fire! You are a terrible partner and a worse teammate! That is all!"
Penny said as Pyrrha looked ready to snap her in half and-
"OK! That'ds enough! Penny how about we all go to bed ok?"
Jaune asked as Pyrrha looked read to draw Milo and impale the poor girl.
"That sounds exceptional! Lead the way leader!"
Penny said as Nora frowned and Ren pouted.
"What's his issue with Penny?"
"Hell if I know."
Jaune thought to his shield as they walked to thier room


"Guys! Where is Penny going to sleep? We only have four beds with five people?"
Ren asked as they stepped into thier room pointing out the obvious issue an-
"She can have mine. I'm used to sleeping on the floor.' Jaune's side as-
"Negative!"
"No, she can not!"
Penny and Pyrrha both yelled oddly in agreement as they blinked owlishly with one another and-
'Friend Jaune. I can not take what is yours. Nor will I take from our teammates, so! I will merely sleep with you to solve the issue."
Penny said calmly as Jaune felt Pyrrha snap! And-
"You will do no such thing! I sleep with him-
"Why? Jaune I want to sleep with Jaune. Alone. Do you want to sleep with me?"
"I! Yes?" Jaune asked as he felt cold chains that stopped? The chains seemed to be confused? And they stopped flowing around him as-
"You will not! I-
Ding!
Pyrrha and Nora's scroll rang at once as they both looked down and frowned.
"Pyr? What's wrong?"
"Opal wants me, Nora, Ruby, Weiss, and Yang to meet her in her office now. She says its urgent.'
Pyrrha said as Jaune frowned.
"You should check it out. Don't worry we'll be safe here." Jaune said as Nora sighed.

"Fine. Penny."
"Yes, friend Nora! How can I be of assistance to you!"
"I don't know you. I've never met you a day in my life. But I'm leaving you with my friends. Don't let anything happen to them ok?"
"You have my word! Not one hair shall be harmed on their heads!"
"Thank you.'
Nora said as Pyrrha sighed.
"Please watch Jaune and Ren. Don't let them get hurt."
"I will do my best."
Penny said bowing as Pyrrha and Norra nodded to one another before walking out of the room and-
"I'm going to bed!"
Ren said as he teleported into he bed changing to his night clothes in an instant an-
"Friend Jaune! Now that we are alone-
"Ren's right there."
"Now that we are alone!"
"So just ignore me. Great."

"Like I said before I am now fully equipped with a pair of functioning genitals so we can now engage in sexual intercourse!"
Penny said as Jaune gagged nearly choking on his tongue and-
"What?!"
"Did... did she say that want to have sex!?"
"Jaune. You are missing t the obvious! Point here. She said she acquired! Genitalia. Meaning that A! She did not have some before, and B! She got them for somewhere else... maybe someone else?"
"I...
"Jaune Arc! Please assume the position!"
Penny said as Jaune gulped...


"You will all be heading into Vale. I have a mission."
Opal said to the gathering of her students. A grim look on her pale face as the girls grimaced.

"Mam? What is so important that you called us here? Jaune is hurt and-
"Jaune is fine Miss Nikos. He is going to heal splendidly. Despite the severe trauma he and Mister Ren endured they are in oddly ideal health. Now onto why I have gathered you."
The woman said in a tone that held barely concealed anger as she sipped her mug.
"There are reports of Fang insurgency in town."
"What!? Why?"
"Miss Schnee I do not know but you five will put an end to it."
Opal said as Glynda stepped up.
"There is reports of supposed fang activity here. Downtown."
Glynda said as small blue hologram came from the headmistress desk as a map of downtown appeared in the room.

"You will go there and investigate any supposed Fang insurgency and report back. Do this to the best of your skills."
"What if we encounter any Fang mam?"
"Miss Rose if you do encounter any Fang you are to break and engage them. Disable them and render them incapacitated for capture."
"And try to look good when you do it. I want you to make yourselves shine!"

Opal said as Glynda sighed and the girls cocked thier heads. "Hah! You don't got to tell me to look good! I do that by myself!"
Yang said grinning ear to ear as Opal smiled. "Good. See that you do Miss Xiao-Long. I need you to shine tonight. Make not only Beacon but yourselves look good and. As an added bonus tomorrow is the first step of our yearly out of Beacon missions. And Miss Rose, Lie Ren, Miss Belladonna and Mister Arc will be going. I know from personal experience that young men do find a woman with a bit of pizazz much more enticing. If you put on a good fight tonight, I'm sure that Miser Arc will be impressed, to say the least."

Opal said aa Yang blushed as the girls except for Nora shared a look as Glynda sighed.
"Go now girls. You don't have much time until you Bullhead takes off and please. Despite what Opal says be safe." Glynda said as the girls left the off and she rubbed her head.
"Opal. Is this necessary?"
"Yes."
Opal said without hesitation as she rolled her eyes.

"Yes. The public has lost faith in us Glynda, and with James last little stunt? We need to show them that Beacons students are just as capable of holding thier own without the help of Atlas."
"But mam, the Fang are terrorist."
"That is why I sent this group. They are the best or the first years, and I rest easy with their power."
"What about the fourth years? There are far more qualified teams than them. And why not send Miss Belladonna? She could surely help them out in this."

"Miss Belladonna is healing and knowing her past... associations I find it best to keep her away from the Fang as much as possible."
"If you did not want a former Fang student in our academy why did you invite her?"
"The same reason I let anyone into my school. I see potential nothing else." Opal said as Glyaund sighed.

"I hope you are right for thier sakes." The dean said as she looked out of the window as the Bullhead touched down to take the girls to their target as Glynd felt a dark shadow on her chest as she had a feeling that this was going to end badly...


"What do you think the Fang will be like? If they are there." Ruby said nervously as she sat on her seat as the bullhead lifted off from Beacon and took them into the air.
"You should know Rose. In fact, we should be asking you that. You fought the Fang before. As far as I know, no one else here has any experience with them." Weiss said as she eyed her leader with an icy glare that made her eep! As Yang rubbed her head.

"Look everyone! This is fine! We are the best of the best! We can handle anything some punks without aura can throw at us right? I mean how bad can a few measly Fang really be?" Yang asked flashing them a toothy grin as the bullhead rocketed forward into the night...


"Look. I'm not saying that we need to burn down the house I'm just saying that we don't have to be here!"
"Roman said he wanted the dust tonight. So he gets them tonight. What's so hard to understand about that?"

"For one, we don't have to be in this damn place! I mean we are literally robbing in person! Without hands!"
Zach said as the boy picked the few remaining dust viles of the warehouse they had hit. Roman had ordered the two parts out of anger from nearly killing the blonde wonder and half out of practicality to clean out the next dust warehouse on their list.

Why the hell Roman needed this dust was beyond Zach's realm of comprehension and his pay grade. He was paid to put bullets, into peoples skulls and kill people without them ever noticing. Not, to steal things in person.

"I'm just saying! All we have to do is wait till the move the stuff hit them on the road and bam! I could have taken out the divers some Fang grunts storm the trucks, and we get all the dust! What's the problem with that?"

Zach asked irritably as he put the last few dust cylinders into a large black sack, that held dozens if into hundreds of viles of the multicolored glitter substance as Hino smiled.
Her soft brown eyes shimmering in the low light of the warehouse as she put over four filled sacks of dust over her back and sighing.
"Look. We can go out for drinks after this. Will that make you feel better?"
Hino asked trying to make her partner feel better as he sighed.
"Fine. Fine. Let's go, I might as well get something strong in me."
"That's the spirit."
"Hey don't sound so cocky, you offered you buy, and I'm feeling like forgetting my last name."
Zach said as Hino smiled warmly at her partner.
"You don't even know you last-
BANG!
The wall to the warehouse exploded in a shower of flame and metal as Hino and Zach both stared blinking owlishly at it. As a smoking hole appeared in the wall and-
'Stop terrorist! You are under arrest!"
A sharp voice said as both criminals slid on their Fang masks as five figures stepped out of the smoke.
"Stop! You are under arrest!"
Ruby yelled Crescent Rose out as she saw a woman and a boy!?
"I don't want to hurt a boy!"
Ruby thought as she saw the two Fang member in Grimm masks stared at her and her friends and-
"Oh come on! You got to be fucking with me!"
The boy said rubbing his head as she sighed.
"Of all the luck! Huntresses! Fuck me, I don't want to deal with this!"
"Do we have a choice?"
His partner? Asked as she walked forward and-
"Give up you shmucks! We got you outnumbered!"
Yand said knocking her fist together clanging them loudly as a wave of sparks flew out and-

"You want me to kill them?"
The boy asked in a far to clam voice as Ruby felt a shiver run up her spine as the woman sighed.
"No. We have to deal with them in a preferably nonlethal way."
"Fine. Flip to see who gets to take out the trash."
"Trash!? How dare you!"
Weiss yelled as the boy with black hair flipped a lien coin.
"Heads!"
"Tails."
"It's heads! Hah! You deal with this shit!"
The boy said happily as the woman sighed as she walked over to them.
"Please. All of you. Leave this place in peace. I harbor no ill will against you and do not see a reason for violence today. Go now, and this will be the end of it."
The woman said in a calm tone as-
"You are all criminals, and you will all be brought to justice."
Pyrrha said as she drew her spear as the woman sighed.
"Please. All of you. Go in peace now before I am forced to harm any of you." The woman said her massive arms that were even bigger than Yang up in the air as-
"No way! You are going down!"
Yang yelled as she shot herself forward ina shoer of fire. Comming down on the woman in a comment of fire rage and fury. As she slammed a flaming punch into her opponent. BANG!
There was a massive wave of fire as the two exploded as Yang crashed into her like a meteor and-
"Was that a punch?"
The woman asked in an inquisitive tone as she looked at a blinking owlishly Yang as she had caught her punch. Her arm was extended catching Yang's haymaker with contemptuous ease as she held the blonde brawler up in mid-air with a bored look in her brown eyes as Yang struggled.
"Hey! Let go of my arm!"
She yelled at the woman who yawned!?
"The fuck do you think you are?!"
Yang thought as she failed to budge her fist an inch from her grip.
"Please stop resisting. Just give up and-
"Screw you, lady! I'm got giving up!"
BANG!
Yang fired her gauntlet five times into the woman as her aura flared a bright orange as she sighed.
"Do you truly have no intention of giving up?"
"Hell no!"
"Well, I will make this quick."
Hino said as Yangs' red eyes opened as-
THUD!
"AHGH!"
Yang cried as Hino slammed a punch into her stomach making her eyes go from red to lilac as a wave of spit flew from her jaw as her mouth opened.
Hino's sucker punch took Yang to the halfway mark of her aura as a loud crack! Followed by a horrible scream was heard as she crunched Yang's captured arm. Breaking Ember Celica in her hand as the weapon shattered in a wave of fire and sparks-
Yang's semblance activated on instinct her eyes blaring red as-
Whap!
Hino Punch the girl square in the face. Her fist slamming right into Yang's jaw her body hit the floor with a dull thud! As her arm popped! In her socket and twisted in a decidedly unnatural manner as Yang fell to the floor blood leaking from her mouth her hair back to normal and-
Weiss was already moving. Yang was down, and she needed to act. Her body already creating her glyphs as she launched a wave of frozen ice shards at the woman who so easily felled her teammate.
She was not taking any chances as she flung her crystal shards at the woman.
Her glyphs aking over a dozen sherd sly into her direction as she cast twin glyphs on her feet allowing her to fly in the air as-
"AHH!"
Weiss cried as something with a piledriver force crashed into her face as an ice spear slammed into her body and sent her falling to the ground.
"Weiss!"
Ruby yelled as the women had literally caught. One of her partner's ice projectiles dodging the others and flung it back at her knocking her out of the air as Ruby glared at her.
"You'll pay for that!"
Ruby said as begna to spit aroudn her firing at her with her rifle.
BANG! BANG!
The woman shook as her aura flared a bright orange as Ruby fired into her as-
"Grenade!"
Ruby yelled as the woman took out a grenade from her back as she pulled the pin and-
"Orange?"
Ruby thought as the grenade glowed a dull orange color as more Bangs! Where heard as Ruby fired her weapon and-
'What?"
Ruby asked as a felling ow weightlessness filled her as her weapon was gone!? Cresent Rose was no longer in her hand and instead a green object that looked suspiciously like a grenade-
BOOM!
Ruby exploded into a wall of shrapnel as the hand grenade went off in her hands. Sending her flying back through the hole in a shower of shrapnel and fire as-
"Ruby! NO! What did you do!"
Weiss shouted as-
Bang!
Weiss screamed as the woman put a sniper round right in her face firing Crescent Rose into her downed form. Taking the heiress out as Zach sighed.
"It's her semblance! It's called a kinetic inversion. She can switch the place of any two objects that she sees, so long as they are of similar size and in her line of sight."
The boy said yawning as Hino placed two more sniper shots into the Schnee girl as-
Boom!
A shower of pink flowed as the ginger girl rocketed forward on a shower of pink. As Nora flew at Hino hammer out and-
Ding!
"What!?"
Nora shouted teal eyes wide with fear as the woman caught her hammer in one hand yawning loudly as she did. Hino held the hammer by the handle holding it up like a child's toy and not a massive Warhammer. As she stared at the oddly small looking woman, she gave a tired sigh as she punched Nora in the throat. The woman gaged as he throat collapsed as she dropped her hammer. Falling choking to the ground as-

THUD! Hino slammed her own Warhammer into her face. Cracking her jaw open and sending the woman down into the floor, as her teeth snapped! Apart as blood burst from her mouth. As Nora cracked, into the ground in a mess of her own teeth and blood and went out like a light.
"Nora! How dare you!"
A voice yelled as Hino dropped her ill-gotten Warhammer. Tossing it to the ground to pick up the sniper rifle only to cock her head as the weapon glowed black? As it was ripped from her arms and thrown across the room.
As the champion? Attacked.
Pyrrha hit the earth like a meteor. Slamming into the ground as Hino was forced to back up as a shield slammed up and scrunched her face. Making her grimace as Pyrrha shield bashed her face. Making her glare as she delivered two punches to her throat. Making her fall backward as-
THUD!
Hino blocked one gauntlet that had a surprising amount of force behind it. As Pyrrha shield slammed her stomach. Metal crashed into well-muscled flash as Hino gagged! As Pyrrha went to punch her face in. Only to be surprised as she gripped her arm in one hand. Blocking her punch and-

WHAP!
Pyrrha head-butted the woman with all her might. Making her wince in pain as Hino smiled at her. The woman gripped both of her arms. Locking her in place as she crashed her forehead into hers.
WHAP!
"AHH!"
Pyrrha cried out in pain as the worst pain of her life flooded her. It was like she was hit by a jackhammer, as her world exploded and-
WHAP!
Pyrrha saw stars as Hino slammed her face into her own. Making blood fly from her nose and-
WHAP!
One last punishing strike sent Pyrrha to her knees eyes spinning ears ringing and-
Crack!
Hino delivered a crunching backhand to the woman, no the girl. That was trying to be a woman as she slammed her face in a shower of blood and spit as she crashed into the ground and went still.
As she crashed into the floor, Weiss raised her rapier at the woman no the monster in front of her. As she began to cast-
WHAP!
"Oh no, you don't. Not today little lady." Zach said as he slammed the but of his rifle into Weiss's face. Knocking the woman clean out as he sighed.
"No one makes her life hard but me. Kapesh?"
He asked the unconscious heiress as he sighed.
"Hino! You finished being a bully?"

"I am not a bully."
"What do you call this!?"
Zach asked pointing to the decimated huntresses as Hino sighed.
"I gave them every chance to leave. They did not, I was acting as honor would indicate by fighting and the best of my capacity."
"Yeah, yeah. Let's just get moving before they wake up or the red one comes back in K?"
"I agree, but first I must make a call."

"Call? Fuck are you calling woman?"
"The cops," Hino said as Zach blinked owlishly at her.
"I must be dreaming."
"No. I am calling the police."
"Ok one. THE FUCK!?"
"Cinder want's this on Tv," Hino said pointing to the decimated huntresses as Zach sighed.
"Sure! Fine! Whatever! Damn woman."
He said as he picked up his dust sacks as the two criminals left the battered, broken, bruised huntresses to thier fate as they left the room...


"AND! WE! ARE! BACK! Fleshbag how you doing?"

"Mink!? The hell am I doing here!? I was just-
"You were just! Getting the shit fucked out of you by Penny! I know check it out!"

Mink said as Jaune blushed brightly his face turning the color of his partners hair as a screen popped up. Smack! Smack! The harsh sound of flesh slapping flesh filled the air as Jauen blushed brighter than he thought he could. As he saw a screen of himself on his back, his blue eyes rolled up to the top of his head as Penny!? Slammed her hips onto his crotch. Her inner walls swallowing his own dick as she slammed her body up and down on him her pink pert nipples erect as she crashed her hips into his own and-
"What the hell!?"
"Yeah! You got fucked so hard you went to sleep! Now let's talk. I need to show you something cool before you wake up!" Mink said as Jaune gaped.
"I got fucked unconscious!?"
"Sure did! And-
Smack! Smack!
More wet smacking sounds filled the air as Penny fucked Jaune's knocked out form and-
"How?!"
"Really? She fucked you so hard after your sixth orgasm you blacked out. Now pay attention! I only have you hear until she makes you cum again they fuck you back awake so listen up! I need to explain something to you!"
Mink said as more wet smacks! Filled the air as Penny rode his dick int he background as Mink flicked up a new screen of his stats that glowed? Yellow and-
"Congratulations Jaune! You passed your first stress test! And as such has been awarded a virtue!"
Mink said bowing bright gold letters under his stats said VIRTUE GAINED! Jaune arc is Now Powerful! Plus 20% damage to ALL attacks. Under it as-
"A virtue? What's that?"
"That! My sack of decaying matter with a bad luck streak wider then the eastern front is what happens when you pass a stress test! Your stress hit one hundred! Your will was tested! And you passed! Now you are twenty percent more damaging!"
"For the rest of the game!?"
"NO! When you gain a virtue, you start a virtue timer. That tracks your Vitrue."
"Go on."
"You see kid! Virtues are one of the only! Things in the gamer designed to work with you! When you get a virus, you get a timer. You are immune to ALL forms of negative stress so long as you have it and! Assuming you don't get a stress check in two weeks? The virtue becomes dim. And you gain half! Its bonus for the rest of the gamer!"
"What if I get a stress check?"
"If you fail? Nothing. You get no ill harm an the virtue dies out."
"And if I pass?"
"Then the Virtue becomes locked! You will gain another virtue within the same two week time and this! Virtue becomes locked in, and you gain its full effects for the rest of the game!"

"Mink that's amazing!"
"I know right?"
"I need to-
"Not now! You are about to be fucked asked! It was nice talking to you! Good luck with the breach!" Mink yelled as Jaune vanished into a ball of white light as she grinned as she flicked off the screen. "LIfe is good!" Mink said as she turned away from the flickering screen as her eyes locked on ahead of her.
"What the hell? What are you lazy shit's doing here? Go home! The chapters over! What do you mean you want to read more? Well... I guess if you want to I can show you some stuff. Do you want to take a gander into the life of me? Well, why didn't you say so! Let's roll!"


"And, one. Two. Three.' Mink thought as she found the perfect moment to jump in as she saw her prey. Jaune laying on the grassy hill of Mistral surrounded by three decaying corpses. One a corpse swathed in red and black with a shattered red sniper rifle in its palms. The other two, one a shot corpse with a halved Warhammer next to it, the other a broken crumpled thing. That was little more than burned green robes and twin viridian pistols. Decomposed as Mink watched the Grimm approach Jaune with a wide small on her face as her time was now.

"You look like you could use some help."

A strange sing-song voice said as Jaune jerked his head to the left only to open his eyes in shock. There in front of him was a kid. No a child. She stood three feet tall with light brown sun-kissed skin and a smirk on her lips. She had long flowing pure silver hair and bright purple eyes. She was wearing a hilariously oversized pair of silver cowboy boots and a searing white blazer the covered her upper and mid body.

"What are you doing here!?"

Jaune yelled felling in his grip on Crocea Mors tighten inexorably. If this child were here, then the Grimm would kill them both!

"Kid you need to leave! Ther's a Grimm here and-
Jaune began before the kid wave him off.

"You mean that thing?" The child asked pointing to the Grimm who was now curled up in a ball whimpering at the top of its lungs as it refused to approach the two. As Jaune paused as he saw a Grimm cower in fear.

"What the hell? Why is it so scared? Grimm doesn't get scared!"
Jaune said the child giggled. It might have been a child's voice, but to Jaune, it was the single most disturbing sound he had ever hear in his life.

It even put Cinder's damned haunting giggle to shame as he felt his blood run cold.

"They do if there's something more powerful then them in the area."

The girl said calmly as she stalked over to Jaune giving him a glimpse of a long purple tail coming from her back with a heart shaped tip to it as Jaune opened his mouth.

"Who are you?"

Jaune asked as he noticed the girls long purple tail and similar eyes as he decided she was not a human but also not a faunus. So what the hell was-

"The name's Mink! And I am here to make you an offer you can not refuse!"

The girl said as Jaune blinked owlishly at her. "Mink? What are you talking about?"

"Like I said! I am what you might call in layman's term... Well, I'm a daemon."

The thing said like it was the most obvious thing in the world as Jaune blinked owlishly at it.

"What?!"

"Like I said. I'm a daemon, and I'm here to help you."
The daemon said sitting down a few feet from his face crossing her legs as her tail came up to scratch her head leaving her with a deceptively innocent appearance.

"Help... how?'
Jaune asked still not sure he was not hallucinating this as another near death mirage as she smirked at him.

"Well let's see you just lost your friends, your family and all of your hope at life. Along with watching everyone you ever loved or cared about get butchered by a woman in red right? Well, I'm here to give you a chance to save them."

"How?!"

Jaune asked shouting at the thing before recoil as its mouth split open into a devious smile revealing far, far too many teeth as its tail began to swish happily.

"Simple. What would you do if I told you that I could send you back... back in time? Back to a place where you could train build to become stronger. And have a chance to save your friends?"

"You can do that?! Please! Mink! You have to help me!"
"And I will! I will! You just need to give me something in return."

"What do you want?"

"What do you have to offer?"

Mink asked cocking her head inquisitively at the human in front of her as Jaune reached for his pockets.

"I... I don't have any money."

"Jaune? Did you just try bribe a daemon with money? Really? I know you are not the smartest guy out there but seriously."

"I have armor! The clothes on my back! Th-
"Jaune come on. I'm a daemon! Think about it! What do I want?"

The thing asked as Jaune gulped as he lost all color to his face. "I... I have my soul."

"Your soul? I don't want your soul! Jeez! What is it with humans and always thinking that I want their souls of all things? What am I even going to do with them! Start a damn bobblehead collection!?"

The daemon? Ranted as Jaune stared dumbly at her.

"Then... If you don't want my soul or my money what do you want from me?"

"Well," she said sitting up again her still hilariously oversized cowboy boots near reaching her chin as she sauntered over to him.

"I have had a long day of working out with mortals, and it's made me famished! Seeing as I have yet to eat, I am quite hungry. You could always give me a bite to eat!"
The demon said going to the boy and pointing directly at his chest where his heat was and making him squeal.

"You want to eat my heart?!" Jaune asked his face blanching in panic as the demon sighed.

"No! Your fool! What do I look like a monster? Why would I want to eat a humans heart?"

"If you don't want my heart then what do you want in me? My Bones-

"No silly! Your emotions! Daemons love them!"

Mink said with a flourish of her arms as Jaune stared blankly at her.

"Let me explain flesh bag. We can't have them ourselves so when we see humans going through all this love, hatred, sadness, fear it's like catnip to us! The more powerful and strong the emotions the better they taste!'

"Do. Do you get off on watching us suffer?"

"More or less."

"You pieces of shit," Jaune said with a bitter tone to his words as the thing grinned an inhumanly broad grin showing off an impossibly large amount of teeth.

"Hey! Watch your language young man! Do you want a chance not to save your friends or not?'

"I'll do anything to save them. Name your price," Jaune said in a steely voice as the demon's eyes sparked to life and were filled with baleful purple fire.

"Now that's what I like to hear meat sack! I knew that you were a catch from when I first met you, but since your being a good boy I'm gonna to make you an extra special offer!"

"Extra special? Forgive me if I don't jump to my feet."

"Sarcastic? I like it! Anyways meat bag here's the deal. You are going to be sent back in time by me for as long as it takes to save your friends. But in return! You agree to let me and all of my... compatriots in the seventh realm of pleasure to feed off your emotion as you do so!"

The demon said making Jaune grimace.

"Fine. Just do it."

Jaune said the demon snapped her fingers like a piece of old smelling parchment as the paper fell out of her palm and shoved it into his palm.

"Sign on the dotted line. By agreeing on to this, you agree to allows us to monitor your everyday life and feast, on every last one of your emotions while I send you back time and time again until you finally save your friends."

"And once I do save my friend? What happens then?"
Jaune asked as the thing smirked at him in a smug manner.
"Then nothing! You live your life, with no hitches or hangups! You get to relish your victory until you eventually die."
"And my soul?"
"Your's to keep. This is only for the meal! Your soul is in no danger from us meat rack."

Mink said bowing slightly to Jaune as he gave the thing a hard glare staring it down before a heavy sigh left his mouth.

"Fair enough."
Jaune said taking an antique feather pen that Mink made appear somehow in a puff of purple smoke as he signed his name on the paper. Wincing as he saw his own blood on the document. Before Mink took the paper and did the same.

"Good job meat bag. I Hope you have better luck next time." Mink said as she snapped her finger and the word turned purple. As the human let out a scream that defied the limits of a human larynx as he was ripped out of reality and tossed back in time...

As the human went back in time Mink sighed. She got herself one entertainment contract now she needed five gamers and soon...


"I don't want to get married!"

An irritated voice whine as a shining pair of blue eyes shook with irritation as another equal pair of blue eyes rolled in a patient manner.
"Oh Jaune calm down! You are going to meet three nice girls! What's the problem?" Joan Arc asked her youngest child and only son Jaune as he sighed.
"Mom I don't even know these girls! How can you expect me to marry them?"
"Don't you worry about that son! I already carefully! Picked out the very best girls for you too wed! Don't you worry a bit!"

Joan said ruffling her son's short blonde hair as Jaune sighed. He knew this day would come. He knew it for all his life, but it was here... Jaune had just! Turned thirteen and that meant it was time for him to find a wife, like every boy his age in his position would be doing right about now.
"Oh, Jaune! Don't get that look in your eyes! You know I would never find a bad woman for you right?"

His mother Joan asked her blue eyes flickering with concern for her son as he smiled.
"I know mom I just... I've never even met these girls before! How do you know that I'll like them?"
"Don't worry son! I picked only the best for my boy! They all come from very! Prominent families with very progressive views of men!"
"Progressive? Really?"
Jaune asked as his mother nodded.

"Yes, they will treat you well. Now come, you can't keep your wife waiting forever now, can you? If you only chose one that is." Joan said winking at her son as he blushed brightly as she led him from the simple Arc waiting room well simple for them as the room was bigger and better furnished than most houses, with lavish couches cairn and rugs as he and his mother walked lock step into the guest chamber where his bride or brides to be awaited him.


As soon as Jaune walked in, he saw them he knew this was going to be a bad day. The visiting noble families who had brought thier daughters for him too wed had arraigned themselves on the opposite side of his guest room as he sighed. Left to right, the left family looked like living mountains. The matriarch was a massive barrel-chested woman with teal eyes fiery red hair and a smile that seemed to radiate mischief. The man was slightly slimmer but equally muscled wit the same fiery red hair and eyes, with freckles all over his face with a warm smile that seemed to melt Jaunes heart and oddly reminded him of maple syrup for some reason...
Next to them stood the second family. A tall, brooding woman with jet black hair and eyes redder than blood looked at him. Jaune felt his pulse lurch! As he felt his heart thump into this throat as the woman looked ready to slice him in half just by breathing. And if judging by the sword on her side, she could do just that...
The man at her side was the polar opposite thank goodness. A tall, thin man with blonde hair and lilac eyes which seemed to radiate positive and light the polar poppiest of his wife...
The final visitors where faunus? Of all thins. As a tall woman with shimmering golden eyes and a slightly shorter man with cat ears stood still on the side of the room. As Jaune walked in his seven elder siblings, all girls smiled warmly at him as his father nodded as he sighed and went to talk...


His potential brides waited for him in large red chairs, and he instantly knew each family they belonged to. The ginger girl who looked like she would fly off the seat at the drop of a hat was clearly the red hear couples daughter. She had red hair teal eyes and pale skin and was bouncing with what could only be described as pure joy.
The other girl was a blonde knockout if there ever was one. And was the daughter of the terrifying woman with black hair, luckily she took after her father personality and winked flirtatiously at him blowing him a kiss as he blushed.
The other girl, a cat faunus simply read a book? Not bothering to look up as he sat down opposite them and waited. This was customary, soon all of the girls would just say thier names and their intentions to marry him. Then they would take say a few rehearsed lines and-
"Hey, there cutie! Name's Yang! Yang Xiao-long! Nice to meet you!"
The blonde one said ignoring protocol completely much too both of the others girls surprise and-
"Yang!"
The woman hissed as Yang proudly armchair over to Jaune as she held out a well-muscled hand.
"I-
"Name's Yang! You must be Jaune! Got to say you are cute!"
The girl said holding out her hand as Jaune blushed taking it tentatively only to gasp as she yanked him off his seat. Flinging him up and landing him face first to her chest.
"So soft...
Jaunt thought before-
"See you like my girls! Can't say I blame you I like them to you know?" Yang asked winking flirtaciously as Jaune blushed wildly.
"I'm sorry! I-
"Don't be! Me and you are going to be married, so you are going to spend a lot of time with your face between them, you know?" Yang asked as Jaune blush brightly and coughed.
"How are you so sure I'm going to marry you?"

Jaune asked the aggressive woman who was running roughshod with him, hoping to gain a measure of control and-
"Becuase I'm awesome. Duh." Yang said like he was dull and-
"I'm the strongest girl here so-
"Wait a second! No one is stronger than me!"
The ginger said standing up no longer content to sit down as she started to stalk over to them.
"Name's Nora Valkyrie! And I'm the tastiest one here! And you look good enough to eat!" Nora said running a hand of Jaune's shoulder making him flush.
"What I would not due to slather you up with maple syrup...
She asked hungrily licking her teeth and-
"Hey! Back off! He's mine!"

Yang growled pulling Jaune away from her and once again placing his face in her bountiful chest and-
"I don't see your name on him yet!"
"I saw him first!"
"What!? Did not!"
"Did too!"
"You want to fight Xiao-Long?!"

Nora asked putting up her fist as Yang grinned as her eyes turned red.
"Bring it on Valkyrie! I'll take you down and prove that I'm the best-
"Marry me, and I'll let you sleep in peace.'

The other girl finally spoke pulling Jaune away from both of them as she sighed.
"My name is Blake. Marry me, and I'll give you all the love you could want and some peace and quiet-
"Forget her! She's as dull a doorknob!"
"And she thinks reading is fun! Fun I tell you!"

Yang and Nora said making Blake? Glare at them as-
"I like to read...
Jaune said making the twin girls pause as-
"Really? What kind of books?"
"I like comic books and-
"Oh. I thought you liked real books."
"Blake!"
The elder faunus hissed as-
"Comics! My little sister loves comics!"

Yang said seeing an in as Jaune turned his cute face to hers.
"You have a sister?"
"Sure do! She's awesome! Just like me and she Loves comic books! Especially The X-ray series!"
"I love that series!"
"Perfect! Marry me and not only! Do you get the prettiest girl in Remnant you get the best! Little sister ever! Sounds like a good deal huh?"

Yank asked waggling her eyebrows and-
"Forget sisters! Marry me, and you will get all the maple syrup you can drink!"
"You drink syrup?"
"Sure do! Plus! You get my best friend! She's super cool and calm! You'll love her!"
"I-
"Pick me, and I'll make you tea?"
Blake asked grimacing as Jaune, Nora and Yang's eyeballed her.
"Tea? Really?" Yang asked not believing if this girl was for real or just messing with them.
"Told you she was a wet blanket when we first got here."
"You where right Valkyrie. She's no fun."
"I am so fun!"

"You wouldn't know fun if it bit you in the ass."
Yang snorted as Blake hissed.
"Hey! Just cause I'm not some airheaded redhead or some ditsy blonde bimbo doesn't mean I'm not fun!"
"Who are you calling an airhead!?"
"You airhead!"

"Bimbo!? I swear to goddess I'll-
"Enough! No fighting, please?" Jaune asked as the girls settled down and-
"Thank you, Jaune. I was still trying to read."

Blake said as Yang snorted.
"When you are trying to get married? I know some people are called sticks in the mud but damn!"
"Reading. Is. Fun."
"No. It. Is. Not."
"You tell her Nora!"
"Idiots."
"What did you say!?"
"I said-
"I like your ears! The car ones, they are cute!"

Jaune said trying to diffuse the situation only to fail miserably as the girl blushed? Blake's cheeks became bright red as her ears began to twitch in happiness or excitement.
"You... you like my ears?"
"I think they are cute?"
"I mean yeah, you are adorable," Yang said shrugging as Blake glared softly at her before sighing.
"Look. Jaune you don't know me I just want to Marry you so-
"You don't want to marry me. I can tell." Jaune said smiling roughly as Blake froze as she begna to panic and-
"It's ok. None of you even know me. How could you want to marry me?"

Jaune asked trying to be honest with them and-
"That's why we are here! To get to know you! So how about we talk huh?" Yang asked as Jaune smiled.
"Sure I';-
"But only in my lap!"
Yang said making Jaune blush as the talks went.


All in all, it was a long but good time for Jaune. All the girls were beautiful in ther own way. Yang was funny and charming, Blake was calm and cool, and Nora was... Nora...
"At least I don't have to get hitched today. That's a few years off at least." Jaune thought as he walked into his own room glad to be alone and-
"Hey, there blondie! Why the long face?" A voice asked a pair of glittery pink eye locking onto his and Jaune screamed.


"Jaune?! Jaune what's wrong?"
"Nothing sis! Just stubbed my toe!"
"Are you sure? You sound like you saw a gohst!"
"Nah I'm cool! Thank's for asking though!"
"Ok... if you need anything jsut call."
"I will! Love you, Bleu!"
"Love you too little bro," Bleu said as Mink smiled uncoiling her tail from Jaune's mouth.
"Now just listen to me-
"What are you!?"
The terrified human asked as Mink rolled her eyes.

"Mortals." She thought as she rubbed her silver hair.
"I am a demon. "
"A demon!?"
"I'm here to help."

Mink said as Jaune whimpered and she grinned.


"So, you want to be a hunter huh?"
"I do! It's my dream!"
"Then why not do it?"
"I'm a guy...
"What does that have to do with it?"
"I can't unlock my aura... only women can do that...
Jaune said sadly as Mink grinned.
"I can unlock it of you. If you want that is."
"What?! You can do that?!"
"I can do anything! For a price."
"Done! Whatever you want! Just unlock my aura!"
"Deal! I like you flesh sack! Sign this."
Mink said as she snapped her fingers as a piece of paper appeared in her hands as Jaune signed his name.
"You know you just gave me your soul right?"
"And?! Mink I'm going to be famous! The first man with an aura! I can be a hunter! The first ever huntsmen!"
"You know what? You can do that and hey! Just cause I like you! How about I let you buy your soul back?"
"Buy it back?"
"I like your style kid so here's the deal. I have your soul, and I will sell it back to you for a price!"
"And that is?"
"You will do something called the Gamer."
"What's that?"
"Imagine your life as a video game. You-
"That sounds awesome!"
"It is! You can do your own quest you can level up!"
"I can be the best hunter ever!"
"You sure can."
"Mink I need that! I want to play the Gamer!"

"You sweet summer child."
"Good. Now sign here." Mink said as another piece of paper appear in the purple fire as Jauen signed.
"Good."
"Unlock my aura!"
"Not now! We can't just unlock your aura here! We need you to have a grand opening! Something that everyone can see the birth of Jaune Arc! The first male hunter!"
"What do you have in mind?"
"Let me see... AHA! I got it! You are going to come out in style...


"Mink! I think I'm dying!"
Jaune yelled as he ducked the claw of an Ursa as Mink smiled. Things were proceeding as planned. Jaune had been visiting, a town under the impression that he snuck out of his manner to the nearby village. A village that Mink may or may have attracted a horde of Grimm too. And now?
Well, he was cleaving his way through them like a hot knife through butter!
The mortal moved like water, his sword slicing limbs from bode and his shield saving his ass. As he fought his body was stuck, and his aura glowed.
Already a shocked crowd was watching as a news crew had him in ther sites as Jaune butchered the Grimm that Mink may or may not be making weaker to help him out and-
"Now!"
Mink thought as her opportunity came to make this gamer unique. As Jaune fought the last Ursa strike hit his back and took his aura to none. As he rounded killing the beast instantly it happened.
Another snake like Grimm slithered up to him hissing loudly. Jaune lept up to it slicking it in its neck killing it but not!
Before it could not vomit up its lethal acid spit that landed right on his now aura less left arm as Jaune screamed.
"AHHH!"
The boy howled in agony as the bio-acid of the Grimm viper ate his left arm. The green liquid eating into his flesh and liquifying his bone and muscle as he screamed a howl of sheer agony as half of his left arm bubbled off and-
"Now let's see if you are good for something."
Mink thought as the boy gritted his teeth. Planted his feet and stabbed forward, killing a Creep that was lunging for him with a quick lance strike as Mink smiled.
"Perfect. Good pain tolerance and a nice attack? He will go far." Mink thought as Jaune fought one-handed at the remaining Grimm killing them all before he stood alone. Victorious and-
"Jaune Arc!? Is that you!? Do you have your aura unlocked?!"
The female reporter for the local news asked the bleeding semiconscious Jaune as Mink smiled.
"Sure do! You are looking at the only! Man with an unlocked aura! The first huntsmen Jaune Arc!" The boy said as the crowd gasped and he popped!
As Mink teleported Jaune away as he gasped...


"Mink! The hell was that all about!?"
"You needed to get free meat sack! If you stayed any longer in that town, your family would have found you and taken you home! No hunting!"
Mink quickly explained as Jaune nodded.

"I... ok but where are we?"

Jaune asked pointing to the massive pine trees around them as they stood in the middle of a forest somewhere.
"Deep! Into the wilds! You, my friend, have just started your first quest!"
"And that is?!"
"Get to Beacon. It will take you a few years, but that scroll of yours is your interface to the gamer. It will have a map and keep you updated on all gamer quests! It will show you quest, let you allot skill points display your health and even! When you hit level ten let you pick a class based on your skill point assignments!"
"Mink I...
"Don't say it. You already lost your arm don't get sappy with me now."
"Thank you. I Just needed the chance! I can live my dream!"

Jaune said tears of joy falling from his face as his adrenaline-fueled nervous system was blocking the horrific pain that was his missing arm as the demon smirked at him.
"Then live it. Be free Jaune Arc and may the world be your oyster." Mink said as Jaune smiled as he began to walk away from the demon. His pace hobbled his clothes a mess and his left arm half gone as Mink smiled. As she watched the boy jog for ten minutes before running into a group of female bandits. Jaune lasted all of ten seconds before they pulled a sawed-off shotgun and shot him in the chest. Leaving him crying, dying and bleeding out on the ground waiting for a certain drunk bird to come in put the wheels in motion.
"You are going to suffer," Mink said as her Gamer took hold.
Mink was a pragmatist. Once she was told she needed to produce not one but five?! New gamers meant that she had to up her anty of selection and so she did! She figured out a way to streamline the gamer with simple technology! Most demons did not! Use it but she was not most demons, and with some help from Z she made the interface for the gamer!
It was, in essence, a simple scroll system that when used by the player would display all quest stats and level ups for them. It would also search thier universe and gave every, single one of them a unique twist to spice things up! This last Jaune had the summoner twist. Where every ten levels his scroll would summon an enemy from another plane of existence of comparable straight for Jaune to kill. And know how big the multiverse was? Jaune was in for a rough time of it to be sure. As espically since the first enemy would be a god damn Brumak? This Jaune was in for a helluva fight as his levels went up.
"This will be fun." Mink thought as she cracked her knuckles and her hunt began.


Timing was everything. You needed to make your entrance just! Right to impress mortals, Mink thought as she stood in the dark tree line. As she waited, she saw it a burst of blonde the heavy staccato of automatic gunfire as Jaune, or this Jaune fired into a tree line as he reached a cliff.
"SHIT!"
Jaune shouted as he stood at the end of a large cliff as the sounds of gunfire got closer ad he begna to panic and-
"You look like you could use some help!"
Mink said jumping down to him as Jaune froze.
"Who are you!?"
"Does it matter? I can get you away from those Fang."
Mink said pointing to the advancing flashlights as the human glared at her reloading his assault rifle as he sighed.

"I... I don't care! Get me out of here!"
"Sign here please."
Mink said as her contract appeared as Jaune signed it in one go.

"Good! Now get me out of here!"

He yelled as Mink smiled and snapped her fingers as her bait worked. Mink had a simple strategy for getting Jaune's help. Step one take their soul. A gamer contract needed a thorough explanation for a human to sign on but a soul deal? None so much.

She took a soul threated them with damnation and then had them sign up for the Gamer. This last Jaune was an assassin of his world. An ex-Fang sniper on the run after sabotaging a significant train attack. Attempting to escape from a deranged cult leader and a very! Angry ex-lover who had a bit of a mean streak and the claws to match.

His unique gamer twist was simple. He would get marks. Every month his gamer would tell him a person to kill, and he had to do it exactly! As his scroll said. He would get a minimum of one mark a month up to a max of three per day, listing off assassination targets for him to kill in spectacularly exquisite fashion. If he failed? Game over.
This Jaune reluctantly agreed to the gamer not that he had a choice and the second Gamer contract was fulfilled.


The third one was a bit different. This Jaune was also getting married to one of seven prominent female households as the other part of her gamer kicked in the gender role reversal. Mink did not know why but the reversal of traditional gender was vital! To making the Gamer tick. As she found another world like this only this time, Jaune ran away all on his own without her assistance.
Good thing to she found him alone surrounded by Ursa in need of desperate help which she provided. In these world men with aura where rare and while Jaune had always had his unlocked he was a political figure, destined for an arranged message and that was no fun! Mink had set the mortal off with fire in his belly and a new lease on life! And without his soul of course. His Gamer's unique feature was of a more personal matter...
There where several items that Mink needed to acquire in the mortal plane that she could not officially touch! This Jaune would need to fetch her items at random bring them to a specific! Location where worlds could bleed together and bang! The deal was on! His fetch gamer was looking great and Mink now had three out of five.


For the next Gamer Mink was a bit pissed off...
"So I can be the first male with his aura unlocked!?"
The boy Jaune in the bombe out snow-covered building in the ass ends of Atlas asked his rich cerulean eyes shining with hope as Mink bit her tongue.
"Yup! You sure can I mean...
The demoness said trying and failing to conceal her irritation as she ground her teeth

"You mean?"
"I mean...
"Mink? What's wrong-
"Fuck it! That's wrong! You don't' get you aura unlocked!"
"What!? But you promised!"
"I said you would be a hunter, but you don't need an aura to be a hunter!"
Mink said eyes burning with rage.
"That stupid shit! He thinks just cause he has that damn Esokenisis bull shit that he's so cool!? I'll show him!"
"Mink? What are you-
"Jaune!"
"Yes!?"
"You don't get to have your aura unlocked! I'll give you something even better!"
Mink said hellfire in her eyes as Jaune gulped.

"Even better?"
"Yes! You won't be the first male with an aura unlocked! You'll be the first male with a semblance!"
"A semblance!?"
"Yes! Yes! YES! That's it! That will show that cocky bastard what he get's for messing with me! I'll show him that Esokenisis is a stupid power!"
"Mink? What are you talking about?" Jaune asked nervously already regretting running away from home as the demon chortled.
"I'm going to give you a kick-ass semblance kid!"
"That's good!?"
"Sure is! I'm giving you the semblance of Kinetic dispersion!" "

The what now?"
Jaune asked as the shattered moon shone through the tree line as it grinned.
"You will no longer take any impact damage from attacks! Nor will you feel any type of kinetic assault!"
"What does that mean?"
"It means if you get hit by a damn Ursa, and you can block the actual attack of the thing the force of the attack has no effect on you! You will disperse it evenly in your body, and you will be just fine!"
"So no more fall damage?!"
"Nope!"
"Tha's amazing!"
"I know right! It's SO! Much better than some anime bullshit Esokenisis. Uptight mother fucker! Thinks because he's made to be broken that he can one-up me?! Me!? Mink!"
"Mink I don't know what you are talking about."

Jaune said as the demoness who had come to him in his darkest hour just when he was regretting running away from his arranged marriage meeting started to monologue.
"Don't worry about it kid! You are going to be better than that snotty son of a bitch, with is damn pet! Who even wants an Odagoron as a pet!? Who!? Snarky mother fuckers who thinks he's hot shit that's who! Am I right or am I right?!"
"You... you are right?"

Jaune said laughing dully as snow fell on his face as Mink laughed in the moonlight.
"Good! Glad we see eye to eye on this. You are a lot better than him you know?"
"Than who?"
"You!"
"I'm better than me?"
"Yes, you!"
"I... I don't get it...
"I... forget it. Now! To make this unique! Jaune you are going to Beacon!"
"Yes!"
"As a Janissary," Mink said as Jaune gasped. Jaune froze as the words left her mouth. He knew about the Janissaries, hell everyone knew about the Janissaries! They where legend made flesh! Before Huntresses academies, before the kingdoms, before dust! There was the Janissary corps. A group of men, men without aura or armor that fought Grim long before the first huntress ever arose. They fought Grim with fantastical! Weaponry with weapons and items that were years! Ahead of ther time and had been a group of legends made flesh for all time!

One Janissary was worth one hundred! Regular huntresses and only the most elite of men where rumor to be abducted into their ranks. And now this demon was granting him the power to not only become a hunter the first! Male hunter but a Janissary as well!? This.. this was perfect...
"Mink... I... Thank you...
"Don't mention it! Just never think a damn lemming is a good way to thank! Someone for not stealing the soul of your friend! He gave me a stuffed lemming! It doesn't even move! It's a lazy lemming I tell you! A Lazy lemming!"
"But Mink... I need weapons for the Janissary corps. I didn't bring my sword or shield-
"Don't worry kid! I got you!"
Mink said snapping her fingers as they appeared. Instantly a green glow appeared as twin long barrel rifles that glowed a healthy emerald green with large white domes on their tops appeared out of mid-air as Jaune gasped.
"What are those?"
"These are you Janissary guns with a demonic intervention."
"Demonic?"
"They are made in the hell forge of my realm. These guns channel emotions into energy attacks. Whatever you feel you can fire, the stronger the emotions, the more damaging the attacks." Mink said as Jaune picked up both guns and gaps.
"They are light!"
"Correction! They don't have weight. Period. These things are made form demonic alloys they don't weigh anything in planes based on reality."
"Do they run out of ammunition?" Jaune asked point one gun down his arm relish how easy they are to hold and use. As he felt like he had been using them his whole life and not just a few seconds.
"Unless you just stop feeling emotions nope! They will fire forever and they never miss! So you are guaranteed to hit."
"Mink! Thank you so much! I can't begin to repay you!"
"Don't worry! Just do your quest, win! This Gamer will prove to that cocky shit that Esokenisis is bullshit and stupid! While winning with my superior semblance and we are all good."
"I will. I promise and an Arc-
"Never goes back on thier word. Kid I know. Trust me on that but one last thing. Do remember you have no Aura. If you get shot the impact of a bullet won't do anything but that bullet is going right! Into your chest!"
Mink said poking his chest as she smiled evily.
"You are not strong. Not at all. You are already weaker because you are a male but now? You have no aura, no extra training. Your only boon is your weapons fueled by your own emotions that never miss. You are all offense no defense."
"A glass cannon...
"Precisely. You can dish out the pain, but all it takes is one! Slip up, and you die. Jaune if you want to win that gamer you need to be more than good. You need to be perfect!"
Mink said as Jaune gulped.
"I will be."
"I hope you are. You will face prejudice, suspicion, and awe. People will want to know where the Janisary headquarters are. People will come for you, and you will have to not only kill Grimm but humans as well. Can you do that?"
"I will do it. They won't stop my dream."
"Good to hear. Also! Just for fun! Whenever you use your semblance for anything! It takes the time you sue it and subtracts it from your natural lifespan!"

"What!?

"The more you use your semblance the closer you get to death so look out!" Mink said as she popped out of reality leaving a confused Jaune Arc reeling and gasping for breath.


Mink was beyond happy! She had just secured four out of five new gamers! As she opened her portal to the next one the-
"Oh... this one...
Mink said as she knew the universe before she even breathed its harsh smoke-filled air. All around her was fire, ash and broken wood. As she walked out, she saw it. The burning creaking moaning remains of a once proud Arc Manor. As the building collapsed on itself with a massive burst of flame, she saw them. Desecrated bodies lined the rubble. Corpses of things that might have once been human littered the ground. As the broken, annihilated and in some cases... desecrated corpses of the clan laid around her Mink made her way to her target in the middle of the flames.

It was strange seeing Jaune as a child. A tired crying child who was oddly perfect. Not a scratch on him as he cried his eyes out. Wailing into the night as he sat on his knees about a red mark on the ground that he once called mom.
There was a brutality here that Mink had rarely seen. Even among demons, this was... excessive. Mink never knew how humans could be so cruel to thier own kind but now? Looking that horrid twisting rotting bodies of the Arc family as the smell of cooking meat filled her air, this was a scene that gave her pause as she approached the crying human child. "Hey there."
She said as Jaune stopped crying as he turned to face her.
"Wh- who are you?" The boy croaked out as Mink smiled.
"I'm here to help you. Is that ok?"
Mink asked the balling child as he sniffled loudly.

"I... they are dead... mommy-
"I know Jaune they are all dead. You will never see them again."
"I... Are you an angel?"
Oh, the irony in that statement.
"Not exactly but I am here to help you. Is that ok?"
"I... I want my sisters...
"Jaune... that's not going to happen. They are all dead."
"It's not fair!"
"Life is not fair. But I am here to save your own. Jaune do you want to die here? Right now?"
"No...
"Good. Now here is what I'm going to do. I'm going to make you strong ok?"
"Strong?"
"Yes, Jaune strong. I'm going to make sure you can stop this from happening ever again!"
"I can help people?"
"You sure can. All you need to do is listen."
Mink said as she explained the gamer to him. Whether he got it all or not was up in the air. He was only served bu, in the end, he nodded his consent.
"Ok... I'll play if I can save people. I don't want this... happening to others."
"Good. Now just relax Jaune the gamer is here to help you." Mink said with full honesty as she rubbed the crying boy's head. The Gamer was not intrinsically evil. Nor was it good, it just wanted a show to make you go OH! And AH! So when it was activated here? In a universe almost designed to make Jaune suffer? The Gamer would actually actively help his life. Doing whatever it could to balance the scales and keep his fighting and in this world? The gamer didn't need to make Jaune suffer. The universe would take care of that for it.


An: And! We! Are done! Another day another Game on! in this one we see Jaune get a bit! Lucky! His demonic patrons came in to save his ass! Literally and next time is the breach! Hold on your seats ladies and gentlemen cause if I can do one thing well ti s do a good Breach! And this time? It's going to get ugly...

Ps. The five short stories you read are ideas for an eventual spin-off for Game on that will follow this template.

1. Gender-reversed world. I really like this plot device so any world of this story will be like that.

2. A gamer that has not! Been done before. Like Game on, they will be gamers with a unique twist. Aka summoning, the assassin, the fetch quest.

3. They will all revolve around Mink but she will not be the main character. These gamers are fairly self-sufficient and Mink would only! Come by to mess shit up for them.

4. Rough. None of the stories are for the faint of heart. And they will be pretty dark. Except for the fetch one. Those ones a more humor based story.

5. These stories will not severely influence the actual game on no matter what. They are their own separate universe. Also, it is a minor rule in all my Jaune stories that his family is either abusive and he lives with them. Or they are kind and caring and he is separated from them so that is a twist that will play into the storylines.

The time travel fic is coming! That was a brief! Snippet of it! It is delayed for reasons! But it is coming out! Soon...

Pss I am really leaning toward the number four story I mean come on! How many Jaune is the only man with a aura stories are there? Think about it! He gets no aura but a semblance instead? He has two powerful demonic guns that feed off his emotions? A story where he needs to be damn near perfect to win? I think it gels better and I might start writing a chapter or two for it soon. Tell me what you think but until next time and the breach? Have some stats.

Omake. The darkest Remnant. Part 15. Blood in the water.

"Buzzing... I hate mosquitoes."

"Do not worry about them, my descendant. They are not the threat here.'

Ozpin said as Oscar marched behind the heroes. Ever since the bugs came the town was abuzz! Literally, the droning swarms of the insects like a never-ending swarm of bees infested the hamlet! And now? Now Oscar was here to stop it. He brought with him Jaune, Tai, Velvet, and Adam. A man that came in right after the bugs came. His class was a Flagellant apparently and he wore no armor. Just a tattered robe and a flail and he followed Jaune as they walked into the muck of the bog.

Oscar had named his party for all that is good! A meaningless name but they seemed to like it enough. As the heroes walked into the shifty ill-paved mud that led into a placed that Ozpin called the courtyard. Oscar had a bad feeling that things were about to get ugly for him and his employees. As he followed Velvet from behind never once leaving her side it happened.

They came from nowhere. Men but not men attacked. They looked like men only their heads! They had some kind of monstrous tick!? On them, as they charged the heroes.
"Justice!"

Jaunce cried as he sliced one of the monsters in two. Cleaving it apart like it was made of paper. The monster gave a horrible gurgling scream as it died. Adam came next. He was a monster. He struck his own back with his flail and shot missiles of his own blood!? At the enemy. Making them scream as they had thier bodies broken apart and ripped asunder. Tai came next.

His dog Zwei his attack corgi tore apart the monsters with contemptuous ease a Velvet struck some down with her lightning Oscar turned to Ozpin.
"What the hell are these things?"
" A reminder of my sordid past. A reason why some secrets are best left buried."

The gohst said as Oscar frowned. As the last of the monsters fell the sound of droning insects filled his head. As the monster sank into the swamp their journey was just beginning. Even now as Jaune cleaned his long sword, Adam glared death at anything that moved and was not in thier party and Velvet prayed for thier safe journey. Oscar had a terrible sinking feeling that this was the beginning of some fresh hell for them.

As the heroes picked up the pace as they once again looted what ever valuables they could find and began to march again. Ozpin had told Oscar that in order to break the flock of winged pests! They needed to go to the courtyard and burn three special viles with a tar-like substance that Ozpin swore that he was the sole inventor of. Not that it mattered to Oscar. The monster had come and they would die all of them. This land was his home and the fiends must be driven back no matter the cost. NPC NPC reasoned as he held his can fast as he began to march as Velvet gripped his arm.

"Stay close to me. I won't have you hurt." The Vestal said her eyes scanning the are for danger as Oscar nodded.

"Ok."

"Come on you two. Plenty more things for us to kill!" Tai said happily as his dog barked! And the five of the heroes made thier way deep into the rotting twisting moray of swirling shadows bickering reptiles that slithered in and out of sight as the sound of dronning inscets came as they reached their first goal. A massive wasp nest like structures that Jaune put to the torch in the whole party sighed as the eggs broke and popped! As Jaune burned the nest a smile broke Oscars face. These things could be killed, they where not gods merely monsters. And they would kill them all...
