Okay here we go.
JAUNE
"SHIT!" He yelled as he was thrown through a wall.
He had ambushed another white fang cell, however, while the three had gone down easily. Unforturnately, he didn't realize there were four. The fourth one had come out while he was busy surverying supplies as to what he would need. And as if his luck couldn't get any worse. The faunus happened to be a grizzly bear faunus who was about eight feet tall. So he was at a severe disadvantage.
"Damn, you're big..." He said to himself as the bear just grinned.
"GAH!" He yelled as he brought a giant fist on Jaune's skull.
"UH! And apparently fast..." He said as he felt himself staggered by that blow.
Well this was not going to be as easy as he thought. This guy was obviously much better trained than his counterparts.
Jaune landed a punch to the face, then a kick to the torso. But the bear just smiled as he picked him up by the throat.
"SON OF A BITCH!" He yelled as he was thrown through another wall.
"I...Hate...this guy." Jaune said as he got back up and pulled out a hunting knife.
He waited for the faunus to get closer, and then he turned and stabbed it right into his gut.
However, the blade broke on contact with the armor he was wearing underneath it.
"Oh you got to be f-" He then felt the man pick him up by the throat and start punching him in the face.
Three punches to the face, then three to the body, and then back to the face. This was not a good day for Jaune. To get out of that position, he spat blood in the Bear's eyes.
"AGGGHHHH!" The grunt said as he finally was hurt by something, his eyes were sensitive.
Jaune fell to the ground, his face already swollen up, and his nose was bleeding and possibly broken by the force of the guy's punches. He looked around, and he saw that he still had a pistol he had gotten earlier. He crawled over to it slowly, hoping that the faunus wouldn't wipe the blood out of his eyes before he go there.
He was just about to grab it, it was in his reach.
But then the bear came back and dragged him back.
"OOOOHHH SHIT!" Jaune yelled as he was thrown backwards.
TEAM RNR
"What do you think Jaune's doing right now?" Nora asked.
"No doubt he's off trying to do something to make the world a better place." Ren suggested.
"I have no doubt he is out there doing something good, I just hope he's safe." Ruby said.
BACK WITH JAUNE
"Ugh.." Jaune said as the bear faunus was slamming a door shut on his head.
"Ugh.." It happened again, this was starting to get humiliating.
Finally he was tossed again. Again, he was like a paperweight to this guy. It was like he weighed nothing at all! Jaune had to admit, maybe he chose the wrong people to ambush this time. Because this was bullshit! But then a glimmering ray of hope came through. He saw that the Bear had thrown him closer to the gun. Finally, he had a chance to beat this asshole!
His fingers wrapped around the stock of the pistol. Victory was in his grasp, all he needed was one clean headshot.
He slowly turned around, ready to point the gun at the faunus.
However, the bear saw what he was doing. And he grabbed a giant piece of steel, grabbed Jaune's hand, pushed it to the ground, and smashed the barrel of the gun with the block of steel. He pulled back as Jaune had no hope left on his face.
He brought the gun up to his face, as he noticed that the barrel now had a significant bend in it. He couldn't fire it, otherwise it would explode in his hands.
He looked up at the faunus, with a look akin to saying 'Seriously?'
The bear faunus just laughed as he picked Jaune up again.
BACK WITH YANG
"..." Everybody was silent as Raven sipped a cup of tea.
Taiyang was in the kitchen preparing food, it helped him calm down. And Oum knows he needed to calm down. His ex wife just appeared out of the blue. She may have brought Yang that new arm, but it didn't mean he wasn't pissed off that she showed up.
"The Tea is good..." She said trying to start a conversation.
Yang just remained silent. She had spent her whole life searching for her mom. And all of a sudden she shows up, and all she could feel was pure anger. This was the woman who had abandoned her! The woman who she spent so long searching for, and now she just showed up like nothing happened! She didn't have a hint of regret on her face. In fact, the only thing she had done since she got here, was compliment the tea! That was all, no 'Hi Yang, I've come to check on you' or 'Hi Yang, I'm sorry for what I did', all she said was that the tea was good. And it made Yang furious.
"These cookies are decent." She said as Yang snapped.
"IS THAT ALL YOU'RE GOING TO SAY?!" She said with her eyes flashing red.
"Well, what do you expect me to say?" Raven said as calm as ever.
"Oh I don't know. Maybe, 'Gee Yang, I'm really sorry that I wasn't a good mother.' ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FUCKING TEA IS GOOD!" Yang said as Raven remained calm.
"If you think I'm here to apologize, you're mistaken." She said without missing a beat.
"Figures, I thought it would be too much to ask for!" She spat at the woman she called her mother.
"Look, I came here for a reason, you can either hear me out, or you can continue to yell at me." Raven said as Yang was struggling to keep calm.
"You have five minutes..." She said as she tried to resist the urge to punch the woman in front of her.
Raven took another sip of tea, and another bite of her cookie. Before she put both down and looked at Yang.
"I'm here to train you." She said as Yang scoffed.
"A little late for that isn't it." She said as Raven narrowed her eyes.
"You need training." She said as Taiyang walked in.
"She does have training." He said as he had personally overseen her training.
"It obviously wasn't enough, if her arm is any indication." She said as Yang glared.
"Are you just here to poke fun at the cripple?" She said as Raven sighed.
"I came here to help you get over this inconvenience, you may have skill, but this is a whole new ball game, the world is a rough place, if you don't adjust, you will die." She said as Yang was trying to keep calm.
'An inconvenience? I lose an arm, and its an inconvenience?" Yang said as Raven nodded.
"In the long scheme of things, yes it is." She said as she held out the arm.
"Now listen, I can teach you to use this arm, I've had far more experience with the world than your father, I can teach you how to survive, how to fight better than before, and how to kill...or..." Raven said as she stood up.
"I can take this with me, and I won't bother you again, and you can continue to wallow here in self pity for the rest of your life." She said with a glare.
Yang glared right back at her. Obviously this was an opportunity to get back into the game. But she would have to deal with the monster in front of her. And it made her furious. But then she remembered Ruby was out there, she may have been with Nora and Ren, but she was still alone. Yang would do anything for her sister, and she wanted to see her again. And fight alongside her.
"Okay...I'll take your offer." Yang said.
"But, if you think I'm going to call you Mom, you better leave right now, and never come back." Yang said as Taiyang sighed.
He honestly thought Yang was going to throw a few punches, he was shocked at her restraint.
"I wasn't expecting to be called 'Mom' anyways, that is not a title I enjoy." Raven said as Yang bit her lip.
"Fine, then I agree to your training." She said as Taiyang breathed out a sigh of relief.
At times, he was glad that Summer was such a switch from Raven. Raven used to be a nice girl, but then she grew colder an colder over the years. He wasn't sure what caused it, all he knew was that she left one day and didn't come back.
"So when do we start?" Yang asked as Raven held out the arm.
"Well first, we have to implant this...just so you know, this is going to hurt like hell.." Raven said as Yang unwrapped her bandages.
"I've had worse, as you can see." Yang said as she pointed to her stub.
The pain of having an arm removed. At first there was nothing, but then it felt like there was hot molten metal pouring all over one side of your body. The pain was enough to make her pass out. She woke up a day later, wondering what had happened. Only to find out that her right arm was gone. She was angry at first, and then she was depressed. That was the worst pain she had ever felt.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." Raven said as she got the arm in position.
She pressed the activation button as multiple wires and hooks forced their way onto Yang's skin.
"AAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!" She screamed in pain as she felt it forcibly attach itself to her arm.
She was wrong...this was much worse than losing the arm.
MEANWHILE BACK WITH JAUNE
"That...fucking...sucked." Jaune said as he was crawling back to the LAV.
After an hour of getting the shit kicked out of him. He finally won, as it turns out, the Bear had a gun in his waistband the entire time, he was just saving it for when he had utterly humiliated Jaune. But Jaune had managed to steal it when he was getting the life choked out of him. And he landed three shots to the chest, and three more shots to the head, just to make sure that the faunus stayed down.
However, he definitely did not make it out of the fight unscathed. His aura may have helped heal his wounds. But right now it was acting a lot slower than usual. Mostly because he was forcing himself to crawl back to the LAV.
"I..Really...Need...to be more careful." He said as the white skull on his shirt was stained with his own blood.
As he finally made his way into his home away from home. He laid down and used the bottle of whiskey he had to disinfect his wounds and started to sew them up.
He looked at the sewing kit, his sisters had taught him how to sew at an early age, said it would be a useful skill to have, who would have thought he would have to sew his own wounds shut?
Thinking back to his sisters made him frown. How long had it been since he saw them? He knew they hadn't come to the Vytal tournament, as they were all busy, and the airport was closed down. But they watched him on TV, still though, it had been awhile since he had seen them. What were they doing? Did they retreat to the forest? Like so many others had done when the cities were compromised?
It made him worry, what if they didn't get out? What if they were dead? But then he remembered.
He stole a scroll off the white fang grunt. His had been lost during the invasion of Beacon. But he still remembered his sister Joan's number.
Ring ring ring
Three rings, she usually picked up the phone by now. What if she was killed?
"Hello?" He heard her voice over the phone as he put his hand to his mouth.
She was still alive! If she was alive, then the others must be as well.
"Hello? Is anybody there?" She asked.
"Joan..." He said as he heard the voice gasp.
"JAUNE! Oh thank Oum! Where are you?!" She asked as Jaune realized the signal was going out.
Since the Schnee towers went down, it was hard to get any communication in, while you could try and call someone, it was a miracle if you could get a signal.
"I can't tell you that, just know that I'm safe...and I'm making a difference." He said as the line went dead.
"Hello? Damn scrolls." He said as he put it down.
He really hoped they were alright. But then he remembered why he was doing this.
He never wanted what happened to Pyrrha to happen to them. He was going to accomplish that goal.
Even if it cost him his life.
