In this chapter we finally meet Dagon! We see what Mink was doing for a minuite and Jaune get's a new friend... Oh! And Hacks galore! So get ready for some Game on!
"Knuckelevve!"
Qrow shouted as the monster Grimm gave an ear-splitting roar that shattered the air. The monster screeched so loud that Jaune fell to his knees screaming as nails dug into his ears. His hands leaping to his ears to try to protect them as the beast screamed and Qrow snarled.
"The fuck is that!?"
Fox shouted blood dripping from his ears as the faunus cried.
"Not good! That's what the fuck it is!"
Qrow said aiming Harbinger as-
"Doctor?! What do we do?"
Velvet asked aiming her minigun at the creature, her sole good eye squinting in pain as Oobleck balked.
"A Knuckelevve!? What is it doing outside of Mistral!?"
The doctor asked mouth agape as-
RAGE.
"The fuck?"
Jaune thought as he felt pure rage from his left as-
"Die!"
"Ren!?"
Jaune yelled as his best friend suddenly charged the monster as-
"Kid! The fuck are you doing?!"
Fox yelled as Ren sprinted at the monster.
"Mister Ren! Get back here this instant!"
Oobleck yelled before the monster turned a weary head to the boy as one of it's long snaking hand shot out, fast as a whip gripping Ren by his leg. Lifting him up high in the air before slamming him down on the concrete where half of his face cracked into the ground as a part of his head popped!
His head seemed to explode on the concrete as blood leaked out of it as the monster raised its hand away from Ren as the boy laid unmoving and bleeding on the ground.
"Ren!"
Velvet yelled as Velvet's stress piled up as the boy moaned on the ground.
"Fox! Find Lisa! Ask her for the goop and give it to Ren!"
Jaune yelled as the wounded faunus blinked owlishly at him.
"What? Blondie what are you talking about-"
"Just do it! He's going to die!"
Jaune yelled a Fox tisked as-
"Blake take him to Lisa! We'll hold it off."
Jaune said as Blake glared at him with a piercing glare that stabbed his soul as she fixed him with her searing amber eyes.
'We'll be back in three minutes. Do not die."
She said once before sprinting off.
"Wait for me woman!"
Fox yelled chasing after Blake wincing from his wounds as the monster coked its head at them.
Rasing another long arm and-
It's face cracked as Qrow laned a clean shot on its face with his cannon making its head snap back at him as it let loose another ear-splitting roar. That brought the hunters to their knees.
"Fall back! We can wait for Atlas! Back is almost here!"
Velvet said her hands covering her bunny ears as the drone hovered recording thier battle as-
"NO! That's what it want's us to do! We can't run away! We need to get up close and personal if we don't want to die!"
Qrow yelled as he put Ruby behind them, placing the slightly bandaged girl by a pile of rubble as the drone zoomed in on him.'
"Are you insane!? We can't fight that!"
"Qrow is right Velvet. We need to get close. Running away will only lead to our deaths."
Oobleck said crouching her feet as Jaune had an idea. As he saw his satchel on the ground as he gained a savage grin.
"Die!"
The boy yelled reaching into his satchel as he drew his last ion detonator.
"Kid!? The hell did you get that!"
Qrow asked jaw gaping as-
"Mister Vesperax! That weapon is illegal!"
"Really!? You don't say!"
Jaune yelled before primming the detonator tossing it at the monster. As the familiar beep! Beep! Filled the air as the silver ball sailed forward.
"Come on! Come on! Die you bastard!"
Jaune thoguht as the disc said to the monster as-
A blur of black came out as an arm shot out as the thing caught it, the monster grabbed the bomb mid-air before chucking it at a passing Atlas gunship that had returned for a strafing run. Tossing the ball clear to the ships winds causing the ship to vaporize in a shower of dust. As Jaune's face dropped as the gunship crashed into a building, it's weapon systems firing off as it turned into a shower of fire and metal. As half an apartment building turned into a fire ballas rubble, glass and several charred objects that looked disturbingly like bodies fell out and tumbled.
"Fuck."
Jaune said as Qrow laughed.
"You can say that again! Nice throw by the way. Nine out of ten on the form. A bit less for effect though"
"Enough talk! Charge!"
Oobleck yelled as the teens nodded as Jaune pushed back stress as he gritted his teeth drawing his hatchet and charged.
It was brutal.
The monster kept them at bay at first swinging its arms like a merry go round. Crashing into them sending them flying backward. Making them attempt to engage it at range. A bad idea as the monsters arms was more than happy to reach out and crush them.
A lesson Jaune was learning the hard way as he dipped back to fire on the monster only for his body to be gripped, pushed, and crushed into the ground.
Making him scream as the monsters arms pushed him into the concrete crushing his ribs making his vision blur with pain. Before Qrow chopped off the arm in one fluid motion making it cry.
"Kid! You alive?!"
"I wish I wasn't!"
"That's the spirit!"
Qrow said laughing loudly once rushing the monster again as it bellowed. He dashed forward slashing its legs and back with his scythe as Oobleck lite it on fire with her thermos. Making it screech in agony as Yatsuhasi slashed into its hind legs. Forcing it to fall down as Jaune hacked at hit's sides with his hatchet.
Chopping off chunks of its thick hide as-
"DIE!"
A furious voice yelled as Ren appeared out of thin air popping into reality behind the thing and stabbing the monster in the neck. Slashing at its throat making it rear up before tossing him to the concrete with its good arm, before delivering him a crunching backhand into his face that sent him flying to Velvet.
As the two hit the ground with a messy thud. Becoming a tangled pile of limbs as the monster raised its arm. It's long dagger-like claws poised for a hammer blow as-
'NO!"
Yatsu yelled appearing in a blur of green and red, his claymore raised high blocking the monsters attack with his long sword. Making the attack halt as for one moment! One shining moment The big man held the monsters attack back before-
Crack!
A terrible cracking sound filled the air as Yatsu's sword was torn apart, his long sword shattered in a shower of metal as the monster's claws proceeded to rip clean through his upper chest. Its claws surged forth breaking past his guard and tearing apart his chest, ripping his armor like a tin can.
Proceeding down to his legs and gouging them open exposing the bone as the big man gasped and fell in a puddle of blood.
"Yatsu!? NO!"
Velvet yelled as her partner went down, like a sack of bricks falling into a bloody pile on the ground and laid still as-
Velvet snapped. It was too much! Her partner was dead!? The big man's body shredded like a tin can after being tossed through a meat grinder as time stopped.
Time stood still for her and came to a screeching halt. As life seemed to pause as fear, uncertainty, pain, suffering flowed through her mind as her will was put to the mettle as her stress was checked-
"PARANOID!"
A booming voice yelled as Velvet fell to the floor, her hands covering her ears as she began to scream.
"NO! NO! NO! This is too much! Too fucking much! The Grimm! The city! It's too easy! Too convenient! We must have been sold out!"
She screamed as-
"The fiends close in, the walls whisper of conspiracy!"
A voice yelled as Velvet screamed on her knees-
"Velvet!? What are you doing!? We need to move!"
Ren said pulling the girl up as-
"YOU!"
"Me?!"
"You! You sold us out didn't you!? You let the Grimm into the city! It was YOU!"
Velvet yelled as Ren balked.
"ME!? What are you talking about?! I didn't let the Grimm in! What are you talking about!?"
"Don't you dare lie to me! I know it was you! Traitor!"
"I'm not-"
Ren was cut off as Velvet bucked her fists as she formed Ember Celica in her hands. As the blue version of Yang's gauntlets formed as she slammed one into Ren's leg.
Bang!
"AHH!"
Ren let out an agonized scream as half of his leg was sheened off as Velvet blasted it apart in a red mist. Before she jammed her fist into his gut and fired.
Bang!
The wet breaking of flesh would stay in Jaune's dreams for months.
"REN!"
Jaune yelled as the still body of Ren fell back as Velvet stood there panting wide-eyed, her faunus traits flickered wildly as she started to laugh?
A shrill laugh left Velvet as she fell to her knees covered in blood as the drone zoomed in on her before she began to cry.
Velvet wailed as she put her hands to her head and screamed.
"Traitor! TRAITOR! We have been forsaken! It's-
"Get down kid!"
Qrow yelled tackling Velvet to the ground trying to get the girl into cover before a massive black hand slammed into them. Taking them both back and sending them flying into a store window.
"Mister Ren!"
Oobleck yelled falling to Ren's side as-
Crack!
The sound of Crescent Rose firing filled the air as a somewhat healed Ruby fired at the beast with one arm. Screaming at it as Fox looked at his team. As his nose sniffed and his ears flickered as gasp left his face as he growled.
"Yats!? Vel!? Where are you!? What's happening!"
The boy yelled as the monster screamed Blake appearing on its back. Stabbing down into its spine repeatedly as she tried to cut off its nerve endings.
As she did Jaune was already running. He was a sitting duck alone, as he ran to Ruby and Fox. As the monster screeched.
"Fuck! Red! Yat's and Vel are down! We need to get out of here!"
Fox yelled as Ruby's wide silver eyes once filled with a fierce determination saw the sight of a still hopefully not corpse of Yatsuhasi that laid reaved on the ground. As Oobleck desperately did some type of battlefield triage on Ren as-
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! This can't be happening!"
Ruby cried falling to her knees tears falling from her eyes as she wailed.
"Red! What are you doing!? We got to move!"
"Why!? We are all dead anyway!"
Ruby yelled crying into her gun as the sound of something wet smacking into the ground filled Jaune's ears as he saw the shadowy form of Blake sam into the side of a car. Crunching into the door before rolling onto the ground and going still.
"Red! This is not the time for a damn mental break down! We need to GO!"
"NO!"
"Red!"
"NO! It's over! It's all over!"
"Goddammit! Come with me!"
Fox yelled gripping Ruby's shoulders as-
"NO!"
BANG!
In a moment it was over.
"Ahhh..."
Fox gasped as Ruby fired Cresent Rose point-blank into his chest sending him skirting back as a damn softball sized hole appeared in his chest. As he looked up to Ruby once cloudy eyes blinking owlishly as he coughed up blood once and fell without a sound.
Thud!
As he fell, Ruby fell to her knees crying into her gun as the monster raised its hand again.
"RUBY!"
Jaune yelled acting on instinct as the monster's hand shot out as-
"AH!"
The sound of broken armor and tearing flesh filled his ears as Jaune froze.
"Of fuck. We just died."
His reflection said in his hatchet. As Jaune froze, he stood like a T in front of Ruby as five long spindly fingers plunged him in his stomach. The monster ran him through its claws digging into his armor making him gag as he felt his vision swim as the beast lifted him up slowly.
Making Jaune scream in agony as it raised him up. Dragging him up horribly slowly. Pulling him up to its face.
As Jaune screamed in pain the damn news drone hovered next to him capturing his misery in high definition as it pulled Jaune to its face. The white Grimm mask as it glared at him.
"Die!"
Jaune yelled as he got closer to its mouth glaring death at the beast and swinging down his hatchet, slashing down into its mask. Cracking it in two making it scream in agony as Jaune slashed out with his knife. Slicing the things odd stitched mouth. As it let out a bellowing roar that causes blood to drip from his ears before he dug his knife into its thin vulnerable neck.
Slicing past its jugular or whatever passed for it on a Grimm. As the monster gaged once rearing up as it's grip on Jaune loosened as it flung him off its hand. Before falling back, dropping Jaune like a sack of bricks. As the monster fell back as it began to vanish into a thick black mist.
Jaune hit the ground like a sack of bricks. His body crashing into the ground with an unhealthy thud. As he bounced once taking him into the air. As he felt his world dim as a shadow fell over him.
"Deathstalker? Really?"
Jaune thought as the monster Grimm roared at him, its slathering jaw opening to reveal row after row of salivating mandibles as-
The thing popped. The monster turned into a messy chunk of chitin and flesh. As it was ripped apart under a hail of gunfire.
"Hah. Go to hell."
Jaune thought as he forced himself to sit up his world spinning as-
"Jaune!?"
"Pyrrha?"
Jaune asked as a wave of red overcame his face as crying puffy emerald eyes flooded his vision as his partner's beautiful face flooded his own. "Jaune?! Jaune?! NO! Hold on! The medics are almost here!"
Pyrrha said gripping him so tight he thought she would tear him in half.
"She's going to kill us before the blood loss."
His reflection said as Jaune's vision swam.
"On the precipice of death, terrifying vista's of emptiness reveal themselves." A booming voice said in his skull as Pyrrha lifted him up. Carrying him prince style as she began to sprint.
As Jaune saw through blurred visions, several bullheads all from Atlas landing. As he saw a burning Yang picking up Ruby, Weiss was ordering a medic to Blake tears in her face.
As he turned, he saw Coco? Screaming at an Atlas medic at the top of her lungs. Her usual calm cool demeanor nowhere to be seen. Her designer shades cast down and hurled to the floor. Her brown eyes red and strained as-
"She's crying?"
"Didn't think she had it in her."
His reflection said in his hatchet as Pyrrha carried him to a bullhead where Jaune saw Opal with a furious glare in her eyes that softened ever so much as she saw him as his vision failed him and he passed out...
"AND! WE! ARE! B A C K!"
The cheerful voice of Mink said as Jaune gasped.
"Mink?!"
"YO! That's me!"
"What the hell happened?!"
"You are almost dead."
Mink said in a steely tone as Jaune balked.
"My team! Are they-
'Ren is going to die."
Mink said plain as day as Jaune froze.
"NO! I have to save him!"
Jaune said as Mink shook her head.
"Can't sorry kind. On the other hand! You got some skill points to spend and."
"Let's make a deal!"
"A deal meat rag? A deal for what?"
"Yes, a deal! I don't care what I have to do but save Ren!"
"Can't."
"Why the fuck not?!"
"He's outside of my jurisdiction. Sorry."
Mink said shrugging as Jaune snapped.
"I don't give a shit if it's outside of your jurisdiction! Fix him!"
"Can't."
"Can't or won't!?"
"Can't."
"I'll do anything-"
"Anything?"
Mink asked suddenly appearing in front of his face. Large purple eyes glaring at him.
"I knew you could help. You just wanted to fuck with me first!"
"Actually I can't help you. But I know someone who can!"
"Who?"
"Someone who has been absolutely dying to meet you!"
"Dagon."
"Dagon."
"I... can she help me?"
"Honestly? She can do a lot! But control over the living is definitely something that is in her repertoire."
Mink said with a Cheshire grin as Jaune glared at her.
"Fine. I'll go see her."
"Great! Also just so you know."
Mink said as a glowing gold staircase appeared in front of Jaune as he gulped.
"Dagon is a patient being, but she does not like it when you ignore her," Mink said as Jaune glowered to her as he walked up the staircase and into a glowing golden portal...
"Cold"
Jaune thought as he felt a chill run up his spine, as he did not remember the last time he felt the coolness come over him. Mink's realm was without temperature as he stepped into something else.
He now stood on a smooth blue floor. That looked like there was sand? Piled up everywhere as he looked up a pitch black void greeted him as besides the bright blue level the area as this place was clearly bigger than Mink's realm was pitch black.
As Jaune walked he noticed it was difficult to walk, like his limbs where being weighed down by some massive weights. It was like moving in syrup. As he felt a crushing pressure on the back of his skull an-
"My, hello."
A deep resonating voice that seemed to come from all directions at once filled his ears. It came from all directions clawing up the floors, scaling his body and stabbing itself into his ears. As Jaune shuddered turning around to see her. The being in front of him was odd. It had a distinctly feminine face human face. With light pale skin, long flowing black hair and scales? Her legs looked like those of a snake? Bipedal in shape but covered in bright blue scales much like her arms and-
"Her eyes!"
Jaune thought as he saw them. Deep and fathomless like the void in her realm. They were such a dark all-encompassing blue orbs that pulled him into them like a black hole.
He found his breath leave his lungs as he felt himself drowning in her eyes, he felt his body his mind his very being subsumed by those all-encompassing blue eyes as-
"Hello Jaune, It's been a while since I requested you. Are you the type of man who likes to keep a lady waiting?" Dagon asked as Jaune tore his eyes away from hers, a clawing feeling all over his soul as he looked down.
"Jaune? Is it not impolite to not look a woman in her face when she's talking to you where you come from?"
Dagon asked her voice sounding like it was infinitely far away like it was crossing a great distance to come to him. That or like it was underwater as Jaune gagged.
"I was told you can help me."
Jaune said keeping his eyes firmly on Dagon's feet as she smirked.
"Oh? And what makes you think that I can help you?"
"Mink told me you are powerful."
"She speaks nothing but the truth. What is it that you need of me?"
"I need you to save my friend's life. His name is Ren."
"I know of him. And I can save his life."
"Really?!"
"Yes. But I will not simply do you a favor."
"Figures."
Jaune spat as Dagon laughed, it was a low rich sound that seemed to gurgle from all around him as the shadows shifted in front of him as something shifted.
"Don't sound so glum chum! If you had simply accepted my invitation when I first asked I might have been more inclined to help you."
"I... what do you want from me?"
"Simple. I just ask for a moment of your time. Once every two weeks, you will accompany me for a period of time at a location of my choosing. "
"Like a date?"
"Exactly."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why do you want to date me?"
"You interest me Jaune Vexperax. I think me and you can have a wonderful partnership." Dagon said as Jaune gulped.
"Will you save Ren?"
"Of course."
"What about Fox, Yatsu, and Ruby?"
"Well, one of thier lives is not in danger but sure. I'll save the lives of all your little friends."
"And all you ask is for a date?"
"Once every two weeks."
"Deal."
"Excellent. Now get back to Mink she's waiting for you."
Dagon said as her golden staircase came up as Jaune grunted moving through the syrup of the realm as she trudged up the stairs and vanished. As Mink did vanish, Dagon grinned letting row after row of sharp razor teeth fall out of her jaw.
"Excellent."
She purred as she waited for two minutes before walking up the stairs herself. As she came into Mink's realm, the lesser demon grinned.
"How did it go?"
Mink asked as Dagon grinned.
"Excellent. We have him right where we want him."
"Good! Now, where is he?"
Mink asked as Dagon froze.
"Where is he?"
"Yeah, where is Jaune. You did bring him back right?"
"He isn't here?"
Dagon asked looking back as Mink frowned.
"No... you wanted to come first right? Make an entrance right?"
"No. I let him come first. He's not here?"
"He's not behind you!?"
"No!"
Dagon said turning around as the portal vanished leaving nothing but space as-
"If he's not with you and he's not here, then where the hell is he?!"
Warm...
It was warm when Jaune woke up. As instead of a cool realm in the depths of somewhere, or Minks chamber Jaune was awoken to sunlight?
Bright, warm sunlight hit his face as he felt grass? On his hands as he stood up.
"What the hell?"
Jaune asked as he looked up to an idyllic surrounding. Jaune was currently sitting on a grassy hill next to a lazy babbling brook. As stream water flowed past him, he was on a lush grassy hillside in what looked to be paradise?
He was sitting down on the hill as-
"Where the hell am I?"
Jaune asked as he stood up and-
"Hello!"
A bright, cheery voice said as Jaune turned to see a girl?
A short girl with long black hair pulled into a tight ponytail stood in front of him. She had blood red eyes, healthy tan skin. And an oddly cute form? The girl as she was apparently a human with red eyes black hair and dressed in tight black shorts, that showed off plenty of her pale legs. And her thin black jacket that showed of a shapely pair of breasts barely concealed in her dark leather chest coverings, all covered in a bright red hood as Jaune balked at her.
"Who are you?"
Jaune asked as the girl giggled cutely at him.
"My name's Bella!"
"Hi, Bella? My name is-
"You are Jaune Arc! I know you!"
"How do you know me?"
"Jaune! I'm insulted! You've known me all your life!"
Bella said as Jaune frowned.
"I... I'm sorry I don't recognize you, Bella."
"You would not! Sorry about that let me show you my real form."
Bella said taking off her cloak as a massive scythe?!
Appeared on her back that made Ruby's look like a potato peeler came from her back as-
"What are you?"
"My official names Beladarux Cardinal! But you know me as death! I am a Grimm Reaper!"
"What?!"
"I'm death! And I am a huge fan of you! It's actually nice to meet face to face finally!"
"You are death?!"
"Sure am!"
"I died?!"
"Nope!"
"I... then why am I here?"
"Becuase you are in the gamer! And I can help you."
Death said as Jaune blinked owlishly at her.
"How... why do you want to help me?"
"Easy! After all the souls the other you sent to me over the years? Jaune I am your biggest fan! You do great work, and I can't let my favorite mortal bite the big one so easy! I can't let some demons take you down you know?"
"You don't like demons?"
"Hell no! They mess up the ledger! They make mortals immortal, and it messes with business! That's why we are going to screw them up, and I'm going to make you win." "You... you are going to make me win?"
"Sure am! Me and you are going to shake these useless lumps of ectoplasm down a peg or two!"
"How?"
Jaune asked as he felt a faint sense of hope in his chest as Mink smiled at him.
"Simple. You see the gamer is all about stats! And I!"
Bella said as she snapped her fingers as Jaune's screen popped up.
"I can hack!"
Death said as a grin came to Jaune's face as he saw his ending and it was good.
"What do you think that hacking will do?"
Jaune asked as Bell pulled up his stat screen.
"Check it out! First of all, you are looking at things the wrong way!"
"The wrong way? Like what?"
"Like literally. You are looking at things the wrong way. I mean you need to change your sight."
"How?"
"Simple! Let me show you."
Bella said as she snapped her fingers and Jaune froze as electric pulses filled his body.
"What the hell was that?"
"That was me giving you a skill!"
"A skill?"
"Yup! You just got sight beyond sight!"
"What does that mean?"
"It means that you can now see the Gamer as a demon see's the Gamer. You can't be tricked!"
Bella said as Jaune saw his stat screen and-
"What the hell?"
"Right? Your Gamer is ridiculous! It's all over the place! There are errors, bugs, there are traits that should be quirks and quirks that should be traits and it's impossibly convoluted! Who the hell is the demon that set this up!?"
Bella asked Jaune his stat screen that barely looked like it usually did as it was covered in what looked like ice? As Jaune frowned.
"Mink."
Bella froze like she had been put it ice as her head snapped so fast Jaune thought her neck would break.
"Did... did you just say, Mink?"
Bella asked in an incredulous tone as Jaune nodded.
"Yeah... her name is Mink last time I checked..."
"Mink? The crossroads demon?"
"Yeah, I think that's her."
"You mean short tail, hot white cowboy boots, blazer purple eyes silver hair?"
"That's her!"
"Well, what do you know? I never expected that."
"Never expected it? Why?"
"One she's a crossroad demon. She should have no business organizing a Gamer. She could barely take the soul of a mortal last time I checked on her. And now she's organized an entire Gamer? Suspicious."
"I... I wouldn't know."
"No, you would not. Anyway, let's optimize you Gamer profile so that we can make you kick ass!"
"Optimize how?"
"Jaune I must ask you a favor. I need you to trust me."
Bella said giving Jaune a firm glare as he held her baleful red eyes.
"And that means?"
"I'm looking at your profile, and it's bad. Like your entire screen is messed up. There are bugs, jitters and most of the interface's key features are missing. Your stats are all messed up for your class too!"
"All messed up?"
"Jaune you are a Survivalist class. You are missing bare minimum stats for that class. You need an overhaul on your entire class for me to fix you."
"Fix me?"
"I'll fix your class giving your actual! Class abilities and traits and I'll give you a few boosts to help you out. I need you to trust me to give you stats that you will need."
"How can I trust you?"
"By not freaking out when I fix your class. You have over a hundred skill points to give to your class. Let me assign them and reassign your current ones, and you will thank me for the rest of your long life."
"I trust you. Do what you must."
Jaune said as he had no idea if he should trust Bella but she proved an option, and if his gut was right she might be a friendly denizen. As Bella nodded bowing once as Jaune gasped. As he felt something pull from his chest as she screen flashed as a bright new screen appeared in front of him as his screen popped up.

"What is a Dagon trait?"
Jaune asked pointing at the blue chains with long reptiles on them.
"Those are traits put in you by Dagon herself. I can't remove those only she can."
"Alright, what about class traits?"
"Those are traits unique to your class. You are given those at the start."
"Ok. But I'm missing some traits."
"Oh ho! No, you are not at your skills and abilities yet!"
"Skills and abilities? Mink told me about those."
"She did not tell you the whole thing."
"She lied?!"
"No. She explained it as best as she coudl, but her Gamer was so messy that her version of skills and abilities were woefully lacking. Let me show you."

"I think I get it."
Jaune said as he went to the bottom of his stats.
Passive. Bind dominator.
"What the hell is that? It has the Dagon mark on it."
"That is the upgraded passive that you got from drinking the serum from Mink."
"What does it mean?"
"It's an upgraded version of your original passive. It allows you to not only read minds at a distance but, it also allows you to enforce your will on others."
"Enforce me will?"

"And that does?"
"Same thing but once you get off point five health you have a sixty-six percent to survive any fatal blow until you are heald. It's useful."
"Sounds like it."
Jaune said before frowning as he looked at his new ally. As much as he would like to he did not trust Bella. And ignoring the literal free will ending passive he needed to ask Bella some questions.
"Bella, you are helping me out a lot. Is it just because you are a fan or do you want something from me?"
Jaune asked as Bella frowned before sighing.
"You are right. I do expect something from you."
"At least she's honest."
"And that is?"
"First let me show you what I can do."
Bella said as she snapped her fingers as Jaune's screen vanished as-

Jaune stared nearly frozen for over two minutes before he turned to Bella.
"You can change people stats!?"
"At will. And I will do that at will for you."
"I! What? Why!?"
"Becuase Jaune you are going to be killing people for me," Bella said as Jaune froze.
"You want me to kill people?"
"Yes. I need you to kill for me. Do this, and I will hack the Gqamer for you. Simple huh?"
"Yes?"
"Yes? Why did you say that like a question?"
"You are death! Why no how can I be of assistance?"
"Jaune I must be honest with you, I'm a reaper. Death! But I am not all powerful. I do not kill people perse. I basically approve of thier deaths."
Bella said her baleful red eyes that now seemed to sparkle with flame as Jaune gulped.
"You are not all powerful?"| "I'm Death. I have weaknesses. I can not kill people, but I can only approve of their deaths. And recently the amount of death has been... lacking for lack of a better word."
"And you want me to fill in the missing bodies?"
"In short? Yes. You are already going on the combat route so why not? You are in deep; death is all around you why not benefit? Agree with my deals, and I can help you! I can hack! I can change any contact traits, quirks and most others! All I need is you to kill."
"Who. Are they good people? Please tell me that they are criminals at least."
"Either or. I'm not picky. I need bodies. I don't care if they are terrorist or missionaries. I need death."
"I... ok. I can help you."
"Good! But..."
"Just tell me is there where you give me the hook that makes a golden egg become a snarling Ursa?"
"Not entirely. You see as much! As I like you Jaune, I have a problem with you."
"And that is? You don't even know me."
"Jaune I know you more than anyone else. Your Gamer contract has a clause that makes you immortal. I don't like that. You are going to give up your immortality, and in return, I'll make it damn near impossible for you to die until you complete the Gamer."
"What do you mean?"
Jaune asked as Bella waved her hand as a beautiful yellow flower appeared in it.
"I'm going to give you a quest. It's a special quest that only a Reaper can give you. I'm going to make you Death bound."
"And that means?"
"It means that you are not immortal. You are hard to kill, but you can be, only under certain situations."
"Certain situations?"
"Yes. If you accept this, you can rest assured that unless one or all of these situations is present, you cannot die."
"What are they?"
Jaune asked as the flower bloomed. Showing bright yellow petals as Jaune stared at it.
"You are should you accept the quest; you will be Death bound. You will be virtually immortal unless one or more of these four situations occur.
"One. You must be in a duel, a fight between you and another. Two. You must be in this fight of your own will. Three you cannot be forced into this fight. You must be witnessed; people not only need to know you are fighting and be able to see it. They must also know why you are fighting. And finally, the fight must be desperate. You cannot retreat from this fight. It must be a do or die battle." "If one of these situations is met ever. You have a quarter chance of death. If more the chance goes up until it is near assured that you will die."
"And if none of these are met?"
"Then rest assured you are under my protection and no harm shall come to you. You are Death bound Jaune; you are going to die but not until you meet the requirements. Do you accept?"
Jaune thought for a moment before sighing.
"Yes."
"Excellent. Jaune me, and you are going to make great partners!"
The reaper said before Jaune decided that if he was going to be working with Bella he needed to know more about his newfound ally. Specifically why she hated demons so much.
"Why do you not like demons?"
Jaune asked innoculously as Bella growled.
"They mess up the stats. They make humans immortal and immortal humans don't die. And that means they don't come to me! Worse they take souls, and when they take souls that messes up my quotas!"
"You have quotas?"
"I have a job!"
Bella said increulously as Jaune backed off hands in the air.
"Ok! Ok! Calm down; I get it. But what will I say to Mink?"
"Nothing!"
"Nothing?"
"Nope! You are never going to see Mink or Dagon ever again! They can't touch you!"
"How!?"
"You are with Death Jaune! Demons quake in fear of me! I can bring you here any time, and I can let you level up! Discuss your plans and do everything Mink does but more."
Bella said as Jaune's smile broke his lips.
"Thank you, Bella. I don't know what I did to make you like me-"
"Want to see?"
"Pardon?"
"Do you want to see why I like you so much? Or why I know you?"
"Yes?"
Bella snapped her fingers as a screen popped up. On it was him! Jaune saw Jaune, but it was not him. Like Jaune, hs had short blonde hair and blue eyes but unlike Jaune, he didn't have his typical armor instead he had on a clunky shiny plate armor? He looked like some type of medieval knight.
And he was currently screaming? Running away hysterically as a Beowulf chased him through a forest yelling and shouting in a far to feminine voice before the monster cornered him on a tree as he finally stood his ground as the monster ran at him. Making him shout as he stepped forward swinging down a long sword striking it in its shoulder and cleaving it in two.
As the monster was split in two Jaune yelled in triumph pumping his fist in the sky as Jaune a word floating above his head in bright red lettering. "Partisan?"
Jaune thought as Jaune jumped into the air as he also saw his stats, and level which was 14 and other things about him before a giant Beowulf appeared it was at least four stories tall and half as wide. With legs thicker than tree trunks and a jaw that could swallow a minivan as Jaune's smile vanished like cookies on Ruby's birthday before he bent his knees as a cocky smile in his face as he let out a cry and charged it.
"You see that Jaune knows how to get a woman all hot and bothered."
Bella said growling as she snapped the screen shut as Jaune saw a word under the screen.
Sir Robinson.
"What was that?"
"That! Was the Jaune I wanted to reap, but he is a stubborn little mortal. And his passive makes it inhumanly hard to kill him. I got a bit! Irritated that he keeps teasing me and since his actions are putting a damper on my quota I came to you."
"So you want me to kill people because of him?"
"Yes."
"I... ok I'll do it. But how do I get home?"
Jaune asked as Bell a began to sweat as a nervous laugh left her lips.
"Bella?"
"Well! About that..."
"Bela..."
"I can send you home!"
"But?"
"I can't just send you home."
"Figures."
"No! I'm not trying to be mean! It's just mortals are not supposed to be here! I got you in through back channels, and I have to get you out the same way."
"And that means?"
"You will need to pass a test to go home."
"A test?"
"You will be put into a dream world of sorts, that shows you a future. If you can navigate the world and find out it's a dream you will wake up in your body."
"And if I don't?"
"You will be stuck there and the other you will go on without you. You won't see you family again. Won't see your friends and will be stuck in a dream for all time."
"No pressure then."
"Not at all!"
"Before I go anything else you want to show me?"
"Oh yeah! Did Mink explain missions to you?"
"Yeah but I'm guessing she left things out."
"You are learning! She told you to focus on one thing but do you know what that means?"
"I'm assuming you will tell me."
"Allow me to show you."
She said bringing up a blank? Mission screen and showing Jaune a blank screen.
"Watch this, let's say our mission is to get closer to Ruby right?"
"Ok."
Jaune said as he saw Bella pulled up the screen put in get closer to Ruby on it.
"Now what would you do next?"
"I'd probably say look into Blake-"
"Nope! That's a trap!"
"A trap?"
"Yes. Mink said you need to focus right?"
"She did."
"This is what she meant. When you say to get close to Ruby, your other missions need to support it!"
"Ok."
"Now let's put in instead of what you had, how about get ammunition for my guns? Work on my blades in the forge of Beacon. And go out to get comics."
"How does this help me?"
"Becuase Ruby loves all of these things! All of these missions will support your first one which is to get closer to Ruby! By putting yourself in close proximity to her, you can aid your first mission for maximum efficiency! So put this like this! Your overarching mission is to get closer to Ruby. By making yourself be in positions where you are already close to her it makes your first mission much easier!"
Bella said as a light bulb went off.
"She needs all of them! I can focus my missions for better results!"
"Yes! That's how you do missions."
Bella said closing his screen as a glowing yellow portal appeared.
"Tha's me huh?"
Jaune said as Bella nodded. "Sure is. I don't know what dream world awaits you, but I hope you can get out."
"How do I come back here?"
"Don't worry. I'll come for you when you have over a hundred skill points saved up or something has gone down."
"And you'll bring me here?"
"Yup!"
"And you'll send me back home via a dream world?"
"Dream is a technical term; it's more of a reality that has yet to happen. It's the future for the other you or at least one of them."
"I got it. I think."
Jaune said before stepping to the portal and smiling at Bella.
"Thanks, Bella. I think I might just have a chance because of you."
"Don't thank me yet! You still need to get you kills!"
The Reaper said as Jaune nodded to her and stepped into the portal.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Warm. It was warm no it was how. Sweltering heat filled Jauns mind and worse his body as he was covered in a thin sticky layer of sweat as he rolled to his left, the massive crimson blankest covering him fighting to keep him locked in as he slammed a hand down on his blearing Alarm clock.
"Too early for this.'
Jaune said yawning loudly already know that it was time for him to start the day. As he looked up, he was greeted by his typical morning view. Lush marble walls and floors greeted him as he leaned out of bed. Bright crimson banners hung from the ceiling showing victories of years past as his feet touched the cold marble floor. Making him wince as the cold marble contracted the sweltering heat.
"Mistral."
Jaune said yawning as he walked on his now slick with his own sweat floor as it was time for Jaune Nikos to start the day.
Jaune Nikos... the words still felt strange on his tongue even after over a decade of marriage. As the man walked to his bedroom mirror lavishly embroidered with gold outlines, he saw himself and smiled.
Jaune had grown since Beacon. Not that much but he was taller almost five seven now with a decent amount of muscles on his chest. Even if was still hideously scarred or as Pyrrha put it, battle weary. His body would never grow out of the malnutrition he suffered when he was young but besides that, he was better.
He had earned some thick muscle on his arms as did his legs. His wedding ring that's was made of pure gold with a red sapphire on it that burned like blood int he sunlight.
Really when Pyrrha proposed to him in the fourth year, Jaune was taken aback.
She did it on the rooftop after a particularly grueling training session when she just plopped down and said-
"Jaune Arc, will you do me the honor of making me the happiest woman on Remnant?"
A voice said behind him as Jaune smiled.
Turning round reveling his wife of ove ten long happy years Pyrrha Nikos. She had changed too. She was taller nearing seven feet without her heels and gong over with. She still had long voluminous red hair and her green eyes never lost their sheen.
Her body was also, different years of training had paid off for Pyrrha as she was way more muscular than ever before. Her body was filled with bulging muscles on her arms and legs and her chest was also larger.
Barley concealed in her custom pink nightgown as Jaune took a minute to admire the chest he spent almost every night with his face firmly sandwiched in between. Much to Jaune's not so secret approval as he still found himself staring at his wife's doubled breast as she giggled.
"My eyes are up here Jaune."
Pyrrha said with a faux angered look in her eyes as Jaune grinned.
"I'm not looking for your eyes."
"Oh really?"
Pyrrha asked walking up to him and kissing him roughly on his lips. As he melted into his wife embrace-
'You look good in that, why don't you put on something sexy so I can fuck you in it?"
Pyrrha thought as Jaune smacked her head playfully.
'Stop it."
He said as Pyrrha grinned, his semblance was well known with her for over ten years. He couldn't keep it a secret really as she giggled at him Jaune saw a blur of gold in her back arms as he smiled.
"Hey there little guy, how are you today?"
"BLAH!"
The ball of gold replied as green eyes and blonde hair looked up to him as his youngest child Patrolkos Nikos looked up to him.
"He missed his father that's what he is. He wanted to see you, so I picked him up."
Pyrrha said as Jaune lifted his now laughing son up in the air as the boy squealed and giggled.
"How is he today?"
Jaune asked rocking the laughing child gently as Pyrrha sighed.
"Good. He just needs some company."
Pyrrha said taking the child back into her arm and smiling radiantly at it. At times like this Jaune was forced to stand in awe at how much his partner had changed.
Ever since Beacon he and Pyrrha had a rocky relationship. It was tense and awkward with her desire for him to marry her and him not knowing what he wanted to do. Then there was the White Fang. Roman and Neo and not to mention Adam mucking things up but that's also when things changed.
After the breach, Pyrrha changed, almost overnight her personality did a full one-eighty. Overnight all her jealousy clinginess and desire to control just vanished. She apologized profusely and often for how she acted and vowed to do better. And she did, Pyrrha became the most loving supportive person he had ever know.
She was there for him when he needed it, she trained him every night on the roof and when she finally said that she did not care if he told her anything about his past. That it was his own, and that she was just happy to be a part of his life?
Jaune fell in love right then and there, and the rest was history. Good history mind you but history none the less. As Jaune smiled at his wife as she locked her arm in his.
"Now let's get some breakfast, I know the children are working very hard to cook for their father today."
"Today? Is there a special occasion?"
"No, they just wanted to show how much they care for you."
Pyrrha said a Jaune sighed walking over to his blood red dresser to put on something that was not a pair of grey boxers, with the word Return to Pyrrha on the front and back.
"Fine let me get changed first. Don't want to walk around half naked do I?"
"Well, I Wouldnt mind."
"Eyes up here Pyrrha."
"I'mn not looking for your eyes."
"Not in front of Patrolkos."
"He's a baby! He won't remember anything."
"Gah?"
Patrolkos asked with a confused look in his green eyes as Jane grinned.
"You will wait Pyrrha; you can take me when the kids are asleep."
"Or on the washer when their cartoons are on. I'm just saying!"
"You are just horny. Now calm down and help me get dressed ok?"
"Fine! You are lucky I love you so much."
"Or I'd rip your boxers off right here.'
Pyrrha thought as Jaune sighed as he got dressed.
"Daddy!" A sharp, happy voice said as Jaune was nearly bowled over as a wave of red hair and blue eyes slammed into his chest as oldest daughter and child jumped into her chest.
"Athena! How is my best big girl?"
Jaune asked rubbing his daughter's long crimson hair as she l wrapped her arm around his chest. Atena was eight years old there first born almost directly after Beacon. Two years of hunting along let Pyrrha and Jaune having a lot of alone time together. And they occupied themselves as best as they could and two years later bam! Athena was born, and June was a father.
"Did you make me breakfast?"
"Yeah! Me Asther and Limone made you breakfast!"
Athena, the spitting image of Pyrrha in all but her eyes, said as Jaune smiled.
"Good girl."
He said putting her down as-
"Athena."
"Mother."
The two said in a crips tense tone as Jaune sighed. Pyrrha was hard on Athena. Unreasonably hard in Jaune's opinion. Sure she was the eldest and Pyrrha held her to a much higher standing than her siblings. Especially her son's Limone and Patrolkos, but Patrolkos did not count for her was a baby.
And he could literally crap his pants and Pyrrha would act like he solved world hunger.
"I made breakfast for dad today, as per instructions."
"Good. I am pleased to see you taking the initiative."
"As always mother."
Athena said with a slight edge in her voice that Pyrrha did not miss as-
"Dad! Limone spilled the syrup!"
The sharp irritated voice of his second eldest Asther said as Jaune sighed as he saw the argument before it happened.
"I did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Kids! It's ok."
Jaune said walking up to his children grimacing as he ignored the absolute war zone of a kitchen. His kitchen too. Jaune might not have liked to fit the mold of a house husband but the kitchen was his, Pyrrha might have carried the final word in most of the Nikos, but the kitchen was firmly Arc territory and seeing it... ravaged like this brought tears to his eyes as he sniffled.
"Asther, Limone, it doesn't matter who spilled the syrup."
Jaune said in his best loving father trying very hard not to strangle his children with his bare hands as he supposed an eye twitch as his kitchen fell apart. The stove was bathed in batter, there were scorch marks on the marble. The floor was filled with flour there was cooking oil on the spoons!? And-
"The ceiling?! How the hell did he spill syrup on the ceiling!?"
Jaune thoguht gritting his teeth as he patted Asterhs head. The blonde hair green eyed girl with medium long straight blonde hair was the spitting image of her aunt Carol with Pyrrha's eyes as Jaune sighed. "Asther don't blame Limone. He did his best."
"Ok..."
"Lemon."
"Yes?"
His son asked hiding behind his own shaggy blonde air his emerald eyes blinking wildly as Jaune sighed. "You did nothing wrong."
Jaune said as-
"But the syrup!"
"It's ok Limone. I'll clean it off-"
Plop!
A glob of messy syrup fell on Jaune's face. Covering the right sigh of his mouth with a thick slather of fat as he suppressed a shudder.
"I'll clean that dear.'"
Pyrrha said quickly as she used her semblance to lift a pan with a cloth wrapped on it and began scrubbing their marble ceiling as Limone quaked.
"I'm not mad at you Lemon."
"But!"
"No one is mad at you. I'm just happy you thought to make me breakfast."
Jaune said as relief flooded from his son as Jaune sighed taking his youngest children to the table as the Nikos family began their breakfast.
"They burned the toast."
Jaune thought to crunch into his burned toast as he ate his children breakfast of pancakes burned toast and orange juice. Which was thankfully the one part not burned in the meal.
"Are you ready for your camping trip Limone? Aunt Nora and your Uncle Ren will be by later to take you all out. Are you excited?"
Pyrrha asked her face beaming as Patrolkos suckled on his mother's chest.
"At least they couldn't burn his food."
"Y- yes..."
Limone said blushing as Pyrrha frowned.
"You don't seem excited, Limone what's wrong?"
"He's just scared that Helga will be there!"
Asther said with a smug look as she bit into a piece of toast darker than Ren's hair making Limone flush.
"No, I'm not!"
"Yes, you are!"
"Mom! Asther's teasing me!"
"Asther! Stop teasing your brother!"
Pyrrha glared as Asther back off cowed by her mother's angry glare.
"Sorry, mom."
She said before sneaking in mamma's boy. Under her breath at her brother.
"But honestly Limone what's wrong with Helga? She's your age, and she loves you. What is the matter, dear?"
Pyrrha asked making Limone's cheeks flush the color of his mother's hair as he tried to hide his face behind a stack of black pancakes.
"I... nothing..."
"Oh boy, he's lying."
Jaune thoguht as Pyrrha frowned. Pyrrha might have gotten better with secrets but direct lies? And from her children? That was something she did not let go.
"Limone. What have I told you about lies?"
Pyrrha asked in a warning tone giving Limone a chance to atone before she had to push.
"That they serve to do nothing but divide and weaken a family. "
"Good. Now, why are you worried about Helga?"
"Becuase she has a crush on him."
Athena said smugly making her brother blush.
"Athena! Stop it!"
"And he likes her too."
Asther added as Limone looked ready to curl up in a ball and die.
'Oh, that's wonderful! Limone that is part of growing up! I'm sure you will make her very happy one day!"
"Mom!"
"Don't mom me young man! You will have a number of wives one day, and I'm just happy for you!"
Pyrrha said making her son blush.
"Pyrrha please do not sell our son out for marriage before he's eighteen."
"I'm not selling him! I'm just saying the Helga is a wonderful girl! She's his age her mother is my best friend; her father is your best friend! What's the matter in pushing them to a guaranteed ending?" "Why do I bother. Limone, your aunt, and uncle are coming right after breakfast so get ready. Athena, did you pack for your siblings?"
"Yes, dad! I packed for all of us!"
"Good girl."
He said making Athena giggle as while Lemon was a mamma's boy she was definitely a daddy's girl. As Pyrrha sighed as Patrolkos finished his meal. As Pyrrha began to rock him to sleep as the Nikos family ate there charred burnt but delicious breakfast.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A rapid series of knocks came to the door as Jaune sighed.
"Comming!"
He said walking over to the large door opening the door and regretting that decision instantly as a ball of green slammed into his chest almost knocking him off his feet.
"Jaune!"
Ren yelled the slightly older man crashing into Jaune with the force of a wrecking ball as Jaune grimaced as his best friend wrapped him in a bear hug.
"Hey, Ren! Nice to see you!"
Jaune hissed as Ren's constrictor-like grip doubled on him. As his best friend tried to choke him out.
"I haven't seen you is so long! I fell like we never meet!"
The man said his flowing green robes wrapping around Jaune as he sighed.
"Ren I saw you last week! And the week before that and-
"I have so much to tell you! Let me start-
"Down Ren. Jaune needs to breath just as much as you."
Nora said yanking Ren off of Jaune. The tall woman sighing as she held her smaller husband in one hand. Her seven-foot stature was towering over his five-ten as she smiled warmly.
"I'm sorry about that Jaune. He get's excited."
"I do not!"
Ren pouted as Nora sighed.
"I'm going to put you down now ok? You are not going to bowl over Jaune right?"
"I won't."
Ren pouted as Nora put him down the boy now man's long black ponytail pulled tight on his flowing green robes. That wile hanging loosely were oddly enough. As Ren like to share his clothes every now and-
"Where is my friend!?"
A blur of orange said as miniature bowling ball ran into his house. Slamming into his second youngest child making Limoe blush.
"Limone!"
Helga said lifting Jaune's son up without any effort as Limone blushed profusely.
"Helga! Don't lift me up that quick!"
Limone said as Helga crushed Limone in a Ren like constrictor hug as the small girl rubbed her face into his son's neck.
"Limone! I missed you!"
Helga looked almost exactly like her mother. Same short red hair, teal eyes but her build was thin like Ren's, and her personality was a dead ringer for her fathers. As she lifted Limone up ignoring his protests as Jaune smiled.
'Helga! Let your friend down now!"
Nora growled as her teal eyes burned into her only daughter as Helga almost dropped his son as-
"Now it's ok Nora. She's just being friendly."
"Aunt Pyrrha!"
"Hello Helga, how are you doing today?"
The small girl in black spots and a white Tshirt saying save the sloths! On it smiled widely as she rushed up to his wife.
"Great! You are gorgeous!" Helga said as running up to Pyrrha leg and wrapping in it a death hug as Pyrrha smiled.
"Why thank you, Helga. That is very kind of you to say."
Pyrrha said making Helga blush.
As she let her go-
"So if my mom is gorgeous what is my brother?"
Asther said walking in with a blue backpack on her shoulder and a smirk on her face.
"Asther."
Pyrra wared as-
"He's beautiful! He's my Limone!"
"Hey! I'm not beautiful!"
Limone squeaked as Helga gasped.
"Yes, you are! You are my Limon, and you are beautiful!"
"Helga! That's not true! I'm not beautiful!"
"Yes, you are! Who said you are not?! Who insulted my Limone!? I'll stab them in thier kneecaps!"
"No, you won't. No taking your best friends kneecaps today. Helga take Limone to the car ok?"
Nora asked as Helga lifted Limone up with no effort as she carried the blushing squawking boy with a slight smile on his face outside.
"Aunt, Pyrrha. Uncle Jaune. A pleasure to see you."
A pair of searing red eyes said as Yuki Valkyrie walked inside, clad in the same green robes of his father as he bowed calmly to them.
"You too Yuki."
Pyrrha and Jaune said at the same time as the albino child of Nora and Ren and their only son walked inside.
"Yuki."
"Athena."
The two said smiling at each other warmly. Small talk an unnecessary factor in their relationship as the grinned mischievously at each other before bowing once as they walked outside side by side talking amicably to one another.
"They are going to make cute couples."
Pyrrha said before handing over Patrolkos who was sleeping until then soundly to Nora.
The ten-month-old glowered not like being woken up from his nap, but his tantrum was averted as he saw his aunt's teal eyes and squeaked.
"Gah!"
"Well hello, there little man. How are you?"
Nora askes calmly smiling as Patrolkos instantly went to play with her hair.
"He just ate so he's not hungry. I put formula in Athena's bag for him. It should last the weekend."
"No problem. You aren't hungry are you little guy?"
"BLAH!"
"That's what I thought."
"Thank you again for taking them. We really needed this time alone."
Pyrrha said as Nora smiled.
"No biggie. Yuki and Athena are inseparable, and I think Helga would combust if she coudl not see her special friend four times every week."
"Wait till she hits puberty. We'll be grandparents in a weekend."
Jaune said as all four adults laughed, but silent acknowledged that once puberty did hit the four of them might all be in-laws in Helga was not watched.
"They will make a grand couple."
Pyrrha said as Nora nodded.
"Come on babe! Let's get going! I want to ride an Ursa!"
"No riding Grimm honey. It's a bad influence on the children."
"But I like riding things!"
"No one else does dear."
Nora said smiling before-
"You like riding me."
Ren deadpanned as Nora gagged her face turning beet red as she blushed.
"Ren! Not in front of friends!"
"But you like being watched!"
"Ren!"
Nora said Jaune and Pyrrha laughed as-
"Don't you dare! Toss a lasso on me Jaune Arc Nikos! I'll toss you to the moon and then break your legs!"
Nora said with mock anger as Jaune smiled cockily at her.
"Don't need to read your mind, you face says more than I could ever glean."
Jaune replied as Nora flipped him the bird before taking Ren and Ptorlkos who waved bye to his mom and dad as Pyrrah gushed.
"Bye, sweetie! Mommy loves you!"
"Say bye to your mom little one."
"BELGRH!"
"Close enough. Bye guys!"
"Guy's night out Jaune! Don't forget! Yang, Neptune, and Qrow are coming! It's going to be great!"
"I'll be there!"
Jaune said as the door closed. "Well now let's get moving if we wait any longer that grease is going to calcify on our ceiling and-
"That's one option."
Pyrrha said as Jaune sighed.
"Pyrrha it's not even noon-"
He never finished that sentence as his wife latched her lips to his as Jaune shuddered. Pyrrha lifted him off the floor forcing him into the wall as her breast mashed to his chest as he wrapped his legs around her back. Pyrrha was never one to mince words as she pressed her thick lips to his. Making him groan before she lifted him up and sprinted to thier bedroom.
Ever since Pyrrha and he first got into making love, Pyrrha made it clear that she was the one to take the lead in the bedroom. As Jaune felt his wife's hands gripped his back making his lips press further into her own as-
"I'm going to fuck you till you scream."
Pyrrah thought bursting into their room and tossing Jaune onto their bed.
"You know you could just let me walk in right?"
Jaune asked after clawing his way out of the mountain of red covers before Pyrrha tore off her house clothes pouncing on him before removing his own.
"Don't feel like it."
Pyrrha said practically yanking off Jaune's clothes as she exposed his now rock hard erection to her.
"You could take it slow just for once. I-
"AH!"
Jaune hissed as Pyrrha's mouth swallowed his cock. Making him moan as she took his cock to the base of her mouth. Making sure to deep throat him as best as she could.
Making his dick hit the back of ther throat before painfully dragging her mouth up his cock. Making him hiss as she dragged her teeth on it. Before reaching his tip and biting it lightly making him groan. As she repeated the process on his cock three times. Dragging her tongue down slathering up his cock, as he groaned openly Pyrrha finally had it as she finally let go of his dick with a wet plop! As she towered over Jaune, her dripping puffy slit quivered with anticipation as-
"Jaune can-
"Just fuck me."
Jaune said not having time for his wives still asking for his consent before sex even after sucking his cock and over a decade of marriage as she nodded slamming her hips down as Jaune groaned. As his wife's tight cunt enveloped his dick.
Even after all these years and with a sizeable buildup of fibrous tissue Jaune still, felt a jolt of pain as his wife's tight insides enveloped him.
Her dripping cunt swallowing his cock like a python her hips slamming down to his, as her hands shot out her fingers interlocking with his own.
As she attacked him.
Hip ground onto his, not even bothering to bounce on his cock. Her insides gripping and pulling him up. In a wonderfully hellish feeling. As Jaune shuddered as he felt her cunt tighten and grip his cock as he stretched out her insides.
"FUCK ME!"
Pyrrha thought grunting in exertion as Jaune grimaced in pain and pleasure as Pyrrha's lips never left his own as she began to thrust.
Her hips blurred forward, filling the room with wet smacking sounds.
As she began to fuck her husband.
Smack! Smack!
The sound of flesh slapping flesh filled the air as Jaune groaned. His wife loved to do this. She loved to fuck him. Pyrrha as kind as she was needed to be in control in bed. And while she did it much more livingly than she did in Beacon, she was just as rough in the bed, and Jaune loved her for it.
Smack! Smack! Pyrrha hips rarely left his own. Her pleas shooting up and crashing down making Jaune moan as she hammered him into her bed.
Jaune screamed internally he felt like his dick was about to be ripped off as his wife came.
Her orgasms always felt like a mix between heaven and hell. QAs her cunt did double it's already harsh tightness on his cock. As her well-muscled insides milked his dick.
Jaune moaned into her mouth as her emerald eyes burned into his and-
"AH!"
Jaune shuddered as his own climax rocked him as Pyrrha smirked.
"Good boy."
She thought as Jaune filled his loves privates. Cumming inside of her making them both groan as Pyrrha broke their vacuum seal lock with a wet plop! As Jaune gagged.
"Pyrrha is today a safe day?"
Jaune asked worried about what they had just done-
"Nope."
Pyrrha replied smugly as Jaune blushed.
"Do you want another kid?"
"I wouldn't mind one. We can afford one, and we have the rooms to spare. Plus I don't want Patrolkos to grow up without a younger sibling. I'm hoping for a girl." Pyrrha said making Jaune smile, It was true money was no object for the Nikos household. With Pyrrha, a tournament fighter and Jaune a local hunter for Mistral money was no issue for them. As Jaune smiled at his wife before-
'AH!"
Jaune gasped a Pyrrha began to bounce on his dick. Her already full insides sloshing with cum as Jaune moaned.
Smack! Smack!
Pyrrha was taking her time now. She had already had her quickie now she was going to take her time as Jaune shuddered.
His wife loved doing this. She loved taking her time to bounce on his cock. As she slammed her wide hips onto his pelvis.
Smack! Smack!
Jaune moaned as Pyrrha's insides sloshed around as Jaune groaned, his wife took her time with this one. Once Pyrrha got her quickie out of the way she likes to make love. Bouncing on his cock, with a steady rythm. Never giving him time to rest but not going rough either. As both adults moaned as they enjoyed each others body as time went on...
"I'll be in the shower. Come and join me!"
Pyrrha cooked as Jaune smirked. His life was perfect. He had an ideal wife. Perfect children and perfect friends.
He could not ask for anything else as he stood up walking to the shower eager for clean up time as-
"This is fake."
A voice said as Jaune froze.
"Who said that?"
"Who said what honey?"
"Nothing dear-"
"This is not real. Don't fall for the trap."
"Trap? Who are you?"
"Jaune? Honey?"
"Comming dear! I-"
"Jaune Arc, you are not supposed to be here."
The voice said as Jaune snapped! His mind came back as he gagged as memories flooded him.
"I have to go home."
Jaune said as-
"Jaune?"
Pyrrha but not Pyrrha asked as Jaune smiled.
"I'm on my way Pyrrha."
"I'm waiting!"
His wife said as Jaune frowned, walking to the glowing archway of thier room as he stepped outside.
BEEP! BEEP!
The harsh sound of a medical device beeping filled Jaune's ears as the sharp smell of antiseptics entered his nose.
"Where am I?"
Jaune thought opening his eyes where a wave of red awaited him.
"Pyrrha?"
Jaune thought as his partner's red hair flooded his sight.
"Great. I'm in the hospital. Again."
Jaune thought as he looked at his partner head laying on his chest. Her hands gripping his sides as she slept on his chest.
It was dark outside, and Jaune had no idea how long he was out for.
"Might as well get some info.'
"Pyrrha? Pyr?"
Jaune asked as his partner groaned.
"Pyrrha!" The red head's face shot up as her red puffy eyes locked onto his as she gasped.
RELIEF.
"Jaune! You're awake!?"
Pyrrha asked in a shocked voice gasping once before wrapping his neck in a hug as Jaune groaned. "Fine. Let me-
"AH!"
Jaune gasped as knives stabbed into his hands. His right arm was in a solid cast, and both hands were tightly bandaged. Tubes and wires of all types ran into his chest. Carrying and taking fluids from him as-
"Don't move! You are still hurt!"
Pyrrha said holding him down as-
"Pyrrha! The breach! How are-
"You all lived... Ruby is severely hurt, and she has some psychological issues apparently, but otherwise ok. Ren is badly injured it's a miracle he's alive. He should have suffered fatal brain trauma, from his attack but he lived. Nora won't leave his side.'
"Good."
"Blake is ok. A few broken ribs and busted lung. Oobleck lived and Qrow? Is it is badly wounded but stable. Weiss is with him now she won't stop crying... Yatsu is... alive..."
"Alive... yes... He suffered severe trauma and is on a heart-lung device, he's touch and go. Fox is stable, but his right lung needs to be replaced. Velvet's face will most likely never fully heal. Coco is livid. I've never seen her so... angry."
Fear.
"Will her team be ok?"
"Fox will; Velvet should be, Yatsu is touch and go."
"I should have done more on the train."
FURY.
A wave of raw fury came from Pyrrha as the bed's rail glowed black and bent.
"You did nothing wrong! What happened to you on the train was!"
Guilt. Fear. Anger.
Pyrrha wiped off tears as-
"On the train? How do you know what happened on the train?"
Jaune asked as Pyrrha ground her teeth.
"I... Don't worry. You need your rest. Please. Go to sleep. I won't leave your side."
Pyrrha said as Jaune nodded feeling faint and going to bed.
When Jaune awoke, it was not to a welcoming sight as Opal sat on his bedside.
"Mister Vexperax."
"Yes, mam?"
Jaune asked as the woman took a sip from her mug as Glynda stood behind her with a horrifying look on her face, as she bent her riding crop. "Firstly I must say that you saved many lives in the breach. On behalf of Beacon, you have my gratitude."
"Thank you."
"But. On the train, the news drone was broadcasting your... adventures..."
"Is that good?"
"For evidence? Yes. Mister Vexperax, I know this is going to sound rough but when you are fully healed. You will be going to the Vale police, and you will file a complete and detailed report on your assault."
"Oh. This is what he meant."
Jaune thought as the lack of a reflective surface meant his reflection could not chime in.
"Mam I-
"Jaune. You are not getting away from this. You will file a report. You will answer all of the questions the police have of you. And you will press charges this time. Don't make me make you. Do we understand?"
"Yes, mam."
"Good. Now get some rest you leave the infirmary today, and before you get any ideas, you are banned from any combat until Vytal. And your teammate Ren is potentially not fighting."
"I see."
"You will need to personally clear him for combat. And I think Miss Valkyrie will be quite against that choice."
"If he can fight he will fight." "Jaune Ren-
"If he is cleared he will fight."
Jaune said again as Opal nodded.
"As you say, now Miss Nikos Miss Xiao-Long is coming to help you take Jaune to his room."
"What about Ruby?"
"Surgery. She does not want to be forced to wait. She needs a distraction."
"I see." Pyrrha said as Glynda walked up giving Jaune a pair of crutches."
"Here you go Mister Vesperax..."
"I'm so sorry."
Glynda thought as her hand brushed Jaune's as he sighed as he got up.
"Hey! Looks who's walking!"
Yang said as she and Pyrrha took one side of Jaune. The two girls escorting him back to his dorm. Jaune felt the stress form Yangs mind.
She was not joking; her eyes were red with massive bags under them. And her hair was a mess.
"I'm fine. I can't fight for a while, but I'm ok."
Jaune said as Pyrrha held his side gently not letting for a moment. Jaune noticed that... Pyrrha was being gentle far more subdued, she didn't mind Yang touching him, she didn't seem angry at him for the breach. In fact, she just seemed glad that he was ok as the three walked they passed an intersection of the Beacon halls as-
"AH!"
Jaune hissed as his body flared up as someone ran into him as-
"You!?"
Both Jaune and Emerald said as they recognized one another as-
"Jaune?!"
"Mercury!?"
The boy said as-
Fire.
Time stopped. Beacon stopped. Life stopped. Reality shuddered to a grinding halt as Jaune-
"Cinder?"
Jaune said his mouth dropping the breath left his lungs as tears formed in his eyes as a pair of burning orange eyes looked down to him as the most beautiful woman he had ever know gasped once her hands flying to her face before-
"I missed you." Jaune froze as a pair of burning lips met his. As Cinder kissed him roughly her face melted him as her hands ran roughshod down his back making him moan as Jaune felt a leg lift and-
"Hey! Did he say you can touch him!?"
Yang growled eyes turning red as she tapped Cinder's shoulder.
WHAM!
Yang was in the wall on the opposite side of the hallway less than a second later as Cinder sent her flying with the flick of her hand.
"Yang?! Who do you think you are?!"
Pyrrha growled at Cinder as her eyes sparkled.
"My name is Cinder Fall child. And I will do what I want with my fiance!"

Life could be worse. Was becoming a slogan Oscar was getting far too familiar with as he crept behind the heroes. The Noble was not in a good mood. Even if they were successful in the courtyard, Ozpin claimed this Salem person would be after thier heads. And thier blood, not something Oscar like to entertain. As the party from the courtyard was not available for battle all of them needed to relax and numb thier minds to the horrors.
Jaune and Velvet where at the tavern drinking thier cares away. Spilling meed and grog while praying to thier god. Tai was at the poker table, not caring if it was blackjack, darts, craps or roulette. As long as there was a dice to throw and a prize to win he needed it. Oscar had giver him some money and prayed he did not lose it all. Adam for his part was in the abbey. The man was cleansing himself with the pain of his whip for some reason...
Leaving Oscar with his current party that was venturing into the ruins. At the lead tanking was Pyrrha, the helion wife of Jaune smiling wildly as she held her glave out ready to cut down the next undead that jumped in thier path.
Behind her was Blake. The Graverobber faunus keeping a firm eye out for an ambush. Her night vision was already a great asset in the gloomy tunnels as she had prevented two enemy ambushes so far. Behind her was Ruby. The Arbalest taking thier third spot. Her massive crossbow primmed and ready for action.
And lastly was Wat's. The Occultist healer brought up the rear as he surveyed the group from the back. His hand never leaving the polished human skull in them as Oscar walked behind him.
"Are you ok child? You are keeping up right?"
Wat's asked as Oscar nodded.
"Yes, I'm fine. Just gathering the loot."
Oscar said as-
"Stealing the loot you mean. We don't pay them."
Ozpin said as Oscar sighed.
"We will pay them after. This quest will yield great favor in thier chosen fields."
"If you say so."
" I do."
Fighting was not Oscar's strong suit.
"Get down!"
Wat's yelled as Oscar threw himself to the floor just as a massive arrow whizzed past his head.
fathom!
The bolt impacted the concrete of the ruins so hard it embedded itself in it as Oscar cursed. There was a bone archer and a noble, along with a vanguard and a rabble. Basic undead that posed little threat on thier own. As-
"I will feast on your heart!"
Pyrrha yelled doing an impossibly complex sweep with her glave and striking the bone noble in the back. Killing it in one blow before-
fathom!
Ruby fired killing the archer crushing its head in a moment. As the enemy backline died Wat's mumbled a string of words that made Oscar's ears bleed. As he cast a curse on the vanguard. Breaking its armor as Blake dove in with her pickaxe. Caving in its skull as Pyrrha recovered slicing down the rabble in one blow as the heroes returned the bones to dust a smile crept on Oscar's face as the light gained purpose and the path was laid clear.
Sleep by some arcane miracle was easy that night. As Oscar closed his eyes, Ruby slept next to him. The elder woman not wanting an NPC to sleep alone. As the groups fired died down Wat's placed some kind of eldritch ritual to keep them all safe in the dark as Oscar closed his eyes knowing that tomorrow was a fight for the ages. The hamlet was already in a panic over the swarms of flies and bugs and with a madman casting doom prophecies? That just would not stand. They would slay this prophet and be done with it.
"We are the Flame."
Oscar whispered as he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
"Down in front!"
Wat's yelled as the ceiling fell.
THUNK!
"Spirits take you!"
Pyrrha hissed barley dodging the falling debris from the ceiling as the prophet attacked. He was a massive man, with no eyes, and locked in broken stocks. He was gibbering and mad as he screamed at them.
"Wat's! Mark him!"
Blake hissed tossing several viles of sickly green liquid at the madman. Making him scream in agony as his skin was blighted and began to melt.
"On it!"
Wat's yelled casting a curse making Oscar's ears throb as the prophet shouted in agony.
"Got you!"
Ruby yelled firing an arrow that lodged itself between his skull making him howl before he retaliated covering the heroes in caustic spit?! Making them scream as a blight was cast.
"Die!"
Blake yelled tossing a dagger at the man. Hitting him right above Ruby's arrow. As he fell back he shot out his hand as glowing red lights appeared on Ruby.
"It comes! Death will find me"!
Ruby shouted before a massive chunk of masonry fell. Crushing the girl's legs, like they were made of paper rendering useless as Oscar screamed-
"You shall not fall!"
Wat's yelled holding up his skull as Ruby glowed green. As her legs were repaired. The eldritch energy from Wat's skull fully healing Ruby from a life as a cripple as the woman glared.
"RUDE!"
Ruby yelled before firing another arrow right into her old one driving it home and out of the back of the fool's skull. Killing him in an instant. As the heroes cheered Oscar slowly went around picking up the Lien to steal as he saw it. A blue paper littered the ground as he dusted it off.
"A blueprint? I can use this."
Oscar said pocketing the item as he and the victorious heroes left the ruins to the few remained undead as they went back home.
