Weapon upgrades and a crush?
In the Republic base, things were quit busy. The remainder of Team RWBY along with Team JNPR were hard at work upgrading their weapons.
Yang was carefully adding new parts to Ember Celica.
Weiss was putting a new type of crystal in to Myrtenaster.
Blake too was hard at work upgrading Gambol Shroud but she seemed to be having trouble getting the parts right. She had a vision in her head on how she wanted her weapon to be. But this new tech given to them was difficult to work with.
"Having problems?" A familiar voice asked. Blake looked up and saw Jaina standing in front of her.
"Yeah, I just can't get these damn parts right" Blake said sounding frustrated.
"Let me help!" Jaina said before using the force to get the parts in to place.
"Thanks!" Blake said with a smile.
Jaina smiled back "You're welcome... That is a nice weapon you got there".
"Thanks, I call it Gambol Shroud! It has saved my life more than once" Blake said.
"I know what you mean. My lightsaber has saved me alot too. We jedis are trained to belive our weapons are our life" Jaina said.
"Those are some impressive weapons you got! In fact this tech and not to mention this metal you use sure is something" Blake commented.
Jaina nodded "This are some of the rarest metals in the world! Strong enough to block lightsabers. It should help even the odds against the empire".
"I bet they will" Blake said as she continued to work.
Jaina could not help but to look at a Blake. She didn't fully understand why, but Blake just really grabbed her sight.
"Ummm, Blake?" Jaina said making the cat faunus look at her "If you want, I can help you with the rest".
Blake raised an eyebrow "If you insist".
They got to work, unknown to either girls, Han Solo was watching them with a smile.
In the Empire base however things were not too nice. The imperial scientist were working on new weapons of their own, only these weapons were more... alive.
They were working on several projects.
Project: Nexu fast and vicious with deadly teeth and claws.
Project: Acklay a tall bug creature with great reach and hard limbs.
Project: Reek an unstoppable force with crushing hornes.
Project: Rancor a massive power house that would put an Atlas robots to shame.
And the most dangerous of them all
Project: Monoliths, monsters created using Grimm D.N.A.
Controlling these monsters would not be easy. But if they succeed, they will have a big advantage.
Back with the Republic, The teams were on their way to bed. The weapons were not finished yet, but it was getting late and they needed to sleep.
"Thanks for your help Jaina. I would never be able to complete the upgrades without you" Blake said.
"You're welcome. If you ever need help again, let me know" Jaina said.
Blake smiled "I'll keep that in mind" And with that the cat faunus walked away.
Jaina watched her walk away and could not help but to let her eyes linger at Blake's hips.
"Like what you see?" Solo said from behind her.
Jaina quickly turned around "What are you talking about?"
"You seemed to have an eye for that Blake girl" Her father said with a smirk.
"I-I don't know what you mean! She was having problems so I helped her" Jaina said with a small blush.
"Looks more like you got a crush" Han commented making his daugther blush more.
"N-no. It's not like that. Besides she is 3 years yonger than me" Jaina said.
Han raised an eyebrow "So? That is not a big age gap you know".
Jaina looked away knowing he was right. 3 years is not that big of an age cap at all.
"You should tell her. And don't say it's not like that, remeber I am your father, I can sence these things" Han said.
Jaina sighed "What does it matter? It's not like she feels the same way".
"But maybe she could if you two get to know each other a little better" Han suggested.
"I don't know, I don't want to give myself false hope" Jaina said.
Han placed a hand on his daughter's shoulder "Just spend some time with her. There is still time before the battle starts so use it to get to know her more. And who knows? I might soon have a daugther in law".
"Dad!" Jaina said with a large blush.
Han chuckled "Seriously though. At least talk to her and see were it goes".
As he turned and walked away, Jaina was left thinking about what her father said. He was right, she did have a crush on Blake. In fact... It was more than just a crush she had on the young cat faunus.
She was in love with her.
