Dreaming of a better future
AN/ I am a person. Hello. Ok you know the drill.
Chapter 10
Velvet and Coco stood frozen in shock as they stared down at a young rabbit Faunus girl who had just declared herself the daughter of Velvet and the unconscious knight, Jaune Arc, who lays behind the Faunus girl, well unconscious. The two teammates slowly turned to each other sharing a confused and shocked look before looking back to Jasmine.
"Um, come again?"
The rabbit girl said completely confused as she stared at her supposed daughter, confused on what was happening. The young Rabbit though just smiled as she reached into one of the pouches of hers pulling out a scroll. The girl then opened up the scroll to reveal a picture of her and what looked like an older version of Jaune holding the young rabbit beside an older Velvet with two other young men behind them.
"See this is a photo of you and papa with me, Sam and Chase."
The young rabbit said happy as Velvet and Coco looked to the photo. In it stood a Jaune who looked to be in his mid or late thirties next to a similarly aged Velvet with the young rabbit girl before them held in Jaune's arms. To the side stood the a young brown hair man who looked to be about 17 with Jaune's sword on his waist and beside him a dirty blonde rabbit eared brother who looked to be around 20 with Velvets box on his hip and one of his ears was missing a piece of it from its tip.
Velvet winced interlay at the one older boy as he looked to have been through more than his fare share of fights as he had several scars along his neck and on his arms. The rabbit turned form the picture and looked back to the girl and then to Jaune again still confused on what was happening.
"I am sorry but what is going on?" The rabbit asked as Coco nodded next to her wanting to know the same thing. "I mean you show up saying you are my daughter, but how?"
The rabbit asked as the young rabbit let her ears fall as she smacked herself in the forehead.
"Oh, that's right I only told you I am your kid." The young rabbit said as she smiled at Velvet. "Sorry but I forgot to say I was also from the future."
The young rabbit said happily as Velvet and Coco stared confused and shocked again.
"Alright V lets call Professor Goodwitch and have her deal with this kid, I think she might be insane."
The fashionista said getting a small disapproving stare from the young rabbit.
"Hey, that's mean Auntie Coco, I am not insane."
The young rabbit said, causing Coco to turn to her with a raised brow.
"Hey, who you calling auntie?"
The fashionista asked, placing a hand on her hip as she stared at the young rabbit. The rabbit just smiled as she pulled out her scroll and pulled up a new picture on it. This time the picture was of Jasmine and Coco standing in front of a clothing store. The store was called "Fashion Haven", while an older Coco stood next to the young rabbit as the two had their arms spread wide as if unveiling the store.
The fashionista just stared as she lowered her glasses looking at the picture shocked. She slowly turned back to the young rabbit who was smiling smugly at her.
"This doesn't prove anything; how do I know you didn't just make that picture?"
The fashionista asked only she was surprised at the girl for knowing what Coco wanted to do after she stopped being a Huntress as well as the name she wanted to use for her stores name. The young rabbit girl just rolled her eyes as she sighed and looked back to Jaune who was still unconscious. The girl than turned back to her supposed future mother.
"If he was awake he could tell you that I'm telling the truth."
The young rabbit said only to get skeptical looks from Coco and Velvet. The two shared a look before looking back down to Jaune.
"Well if he does have something to say why not bring him into the room and we will wait for him to wake up."
Velvet said as Coco just said and rubbed the back of her head. As she looked into the room then back to Jasmine and Jaune letting out a tired sigh.
"Alright yeah let's bring them in, no reason not to see what the guy has to say when he wakes up."
The fashionista said getting a nod from Velvet as she turned back her supposed daughter, not completely sure what to think on the whole ordeal wondering if the girl really was her daughter. As the rabbit helped her team leader carry the unconscious Jaune into the room. Elsewhere in another of Beacon's dorms, Professor Glynda Goodwitch stood over the form of a cowering Cardin Winchester who was curled into the fetal position as he shook on the floor of his dorm room.
"Mother what happened to him?"
Grace asked only to get shushed by the professor.
"Do not call me that."
The professor said quickly as she looked down at the cowering Student before her.
"Mr. Winchester, what happened to you?"
The professor asked with only a slight idea of what could have happened. The brute cowered some more as he shook on the floor causing the professor to roll her eyes as she let out a tired sigh and stood up.
"Please Mr. Winchester just tell me what happened and I should be able to stop whoever did this and punish them."
The professor said trying to make to brute speak up. Slowly the brute raised his hand and pointed out the door.
"A-a B-blonde d-demon a-and its m-mini follower a-attacked me a-and threatened t-to do h-h-horrible unspeakable things."
The brute whimpered out as the professor just sighed and turned around waving Grace out of the room who was just staring confused at the brutes words. When the two were finally in the hall the young blonde girl spoke up.
"What did he mean about Blonde demon mother?"
The girl asked getting another sigh from Glynda.
"Please Grace; do not call me mother."
The professor requested getting a small disappointed look from Grace.
"What's so wrong with calling you mother, I mean you are my mother?"
The blonde girl reasoned only to get a sigh from the professor as she took off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"I still do not believe that, either way I rather the students not over hear you and start spreading rumors."
The professor said tiredly as she looked back to the young blonde who just sighed tiredly.
"Fine I will not call you mother for now, but please answer me, what did that boy mean when he said blonde demon?"
The young blonde asked getting a sigh from her future mother who just pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Mr. Winchester was probably talking about Yang Xiao Long."
The professor said offhanded as she let out a tired sigh.
"Wait why would Yang Xiao long do this?"
The young girl asked as Glynda just rubbed the bridge of her nose.
"I have no idea if anything Mr. Winchester would have brought it on himself if anything."
The professor said as she turned back to the young blonde.
"You know I have been wondering but how are you going to prove to me that you are my daughter?"
The professor asked still on edge about the whole daughter thing as she walked down the hall searching for Yang. The young blonde beside her just smiled as she walked a head of her.
"Now if I told you it would spoil the surprise, mother."
The girl teased getting a sigh from Glynda who just shook her head disapprovingly. 'It is impossible for this girl to be my daughter with that kind of personality.' The professor thought as she followed after the girl.
"Also stop calling me that, I am not your mother."
The professor said getting a small disapproving shake of the head from Grace who just kept on walking. The two began to continue on down the halls now on the search for Yang Xiao long in hopes of finding out why she had turned Cardin into a weeping little ball of fear. As the two began their search elsewhere in the school Ruby and her daughter Summer were still searching for Jaune.
"Summer did you find him!"
Ruby shouted down the hall to her daughter as she kicked open a store room door looking inside to see if Jaune was in there only to find brooms and buckets.
"No!"
Summer shouted back as she then shot down the hall towards her mother in a flash of red and white rose pedals. Ruby just stood at the end of the hall as she looked into an empty class room to see if Jaune was in there to find nothing. She let out a sigh as she turned to look at Summer who flashed up beside her. Ruby sighed as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Finding Jaune is turning out to be harder than I thought."
The little reaper said as she looked to her daughter who nodded and crossed her arms.
"This is really hard, why can't we just find him, I mean when I got lost when I was younger papa was able to find me without any trouble."
The young rose said getting a small chuckle from her mother.
"How often did you get lost?"
Ruby asked as her daughter puffed her cheeks at her angrily as she stomped her foot, crossed her arms and turned away from her.
"Every time you looked after me without him around!"
The young rose shot at her mother.
"Hey!"
The little reaper said hurt as she looked to the ground. The two stood there like that for a few seconds before Summer slowly turned back to see her mother who was looking at the ground hurt. The young rose slowly lost her angry pout and slowly reached down to the hem of her skirt playing with it. She looked at her mother a few times before speaking up.
"Mama."
The young rose spoke up getting Ruby's attention as she looked to her.
"Yeah Summer?"
The little reaper asked as the young rose walked up to her and hugged her.
"I am sorry, that was mean."
The young rose said getting a nod from Ruby as she hugged her back.
"It's ok you didn't mean it."
The young rose just hugged back but didn't say anything seeing as what she said was true as she remembered the times that her mother looked after her when her father was on mission and she would end up losing sight of her and her father would always end up finding her even if he was on mission just coming home as fast as he could to find her. It was like he had a sixth sense for when she needed to be found or was hurt.
As the young rose thought back on the times her father would find her when she was lost. As she thought out from her hood popped out pocket Penny.
"Wait Summer, I think I have a plan to find your father."
The little droid said catching the two girl's attention.
"Oh, pocket Penny, I forgot you were here."
Ruby said as she looked at the small droid. Summer put her hand out for the small droid to jump.
"Hey Penny, what do you mean you have a plan to find papa?"
The young rose asked her little companion. The small droid smiled as it held up her small USB tail.
"If I plug into one of the school's terminals I should be able connect to the to the security cameras, and I can possible track your father's locations."
The small droid said puffing its small chest proudly with a huge smile at her great plan. As the small droid did this Ruby and Summer share a look between each other somewhat impressed by the small droid's plan. Though the little reaper looked to have some doubts about the plan.
"Wait, Penny is that even legal?"
The little reaper asked not really willing to hack into the schools system. Even if the plan was like those out of spy movies, the little reaper didn't know if she could go along with it.
"No it's not legal but in a situation like this I don't think Ozpin would mind if we connected to the security feed."
The small droid said as it cupped its chin in thought. The young rose holding her up looked to her than back to her mother now thinking the same thing as her. The three stood in thought for a few seconds before deciding it would be best to go with Penny's plan and ran off towards the library to connect to one of the terminals. As they walked Ruby looked to Pocket Penny and figured she should ask.
"Hey Penny, what happened to you that turned you into I tiny robot?"
The little reaper asked as the small droid turned to her and gave her a small sad smile.
"I am sorry Ruby but I cannot tell you that. Please don't ask again."
The little droid said getting a small nod from Ruby who looked away somewhat disappointed as she worried that something had happened. The little reaper though decided she would do as her now tiny future friend asked seeing as she really didn't care. While the three of them made their way down to the library just a building away Pyrrha and her future daughter Helen were searching the training rooms to see if Jaune was in one of them.
"This is beginning to worry me, where could Jaune be?"
Pyrrha asked her daughter who just shrugged as she walked beside her just as worried.
"I hope he is ok."
The young Spartan said as her mother just smiled and wrapped an arm around the girl's shoulders and pulled her to her with a sideward hug.
"Don't worry, if anything he is just laying under a tree somewhere resting."
The Spartan tried to reassure her daughter who just looked down to the ground. The Spartan was worried about her and figured it would be best to distract Helen for now and cheer her up.
"Hey, you know I was wondering what type of family we are in the future, I mean am I a good mother and is Jaune a good father?"
The Spartan asked as her daughter looked up to her in thought for a second.
"Well I can't tell you much about the future, but I wasn't told I couldn't tell you about how you and papa raised me and the others."
The young Spartan said causing Pyrrha's eyes to sparkle at the mention of others.
"Wait I have more kids?"
The Spartan asked getting a chuckle from her daughter who smiled at her.
"Yes, you have four children counting me; I have two older sisters and an older brother."
The young Spartan said happily till she mentioned her brother as her smile somewhat dimmed. Pyrrha noticed this as she looked to her daughter confused.
"What's wrong?"
The Spartan wanted to know why her daughter got sad when she mentioned her brother only for Helen to shake her head at her.
"Do not worry about it, I will tell you soon enough, first I should tell you about how you and papa raised us."
The young Spartan said, changing the subject quickly as she began to go on telling Pyrrha about how she was raised. The young Spartan told her mother about the times when Jaune would take her out into a wheat field and play hide and seek with her. She even told her of the times she trained with Pyrrha and her older brother. Her sisters weren't Huntress, having chosen different paths in life, one wanting to be a teacher and the other a doctor. Though again when she mentioned her brother she got sad as she would pause some as she talked about him.
"You know Marcus was a strong Huntsman, he was able to make a name for himself long before he ever became a true licensed Huntsman where everyone knew who he was because of how skilled and strong he was."
The young Spartan said as she looked to the ground fondly though with a sad smile as she did. Pyrrha didn't like how she looked and decided she would ask what happened with her brother to make Helen so sad.
"Alright Helen, what happened to Marcus?"
The Spartan asked her daughter who slowly looked up to her sadly. The young Spartan didn't say anything for a few seconds before finally speaking up.
"He disappeared one day without a trace, he was off on a mission helping papa and something happened that made the two separate and after it was all done he was gone. No one could find him, let alone a body."
The young Spartan said sadly as Pyrrha just stared shocked at what she was hearing.
"When did this happen?"
The Spartan asked as she knelt down to her daughter leveling herself with Helen as she waited for an answer.
"It happened a year before people started noticing time was being messed with. After it happened you stopped taking missions, staying home alone not really wanting anyone around. You were always proud of Marcus, you seemed to think he was invincible; you even tried to make me stop training to be a Huntress. As time went on you got better and you started to take missions again after papa had talked with you but you stopped asking for help and when you trained me you never really were all there."
The young Spartan said giving a small summary of what had happened not really wanting to talk about the whole thing still upset about the memory. Pyrrha didn't have anything to say shocked at what she heard as she slowly pulled her daughter into a hug.
"I am so sorry; I didn't know; I shouldn't have made you talk about it."
The Spartan said knowing that she had just reopened old wounds for her daughter. She held her daughter for a few minutes before finally let her go as she looked at her with a sad smile.
"I am sorry I made you talk about something so terrible."
The Spartan said as she stood up and patted her daughter on the head and turned too looked down the hall.
"Why don't we go and grab you something to eat than we can start looking for Jaune again."
The Spartan said getting a nod from her daughter as they moved on. As the two began to make their way to the mess hall to grab something to eat on another path heading to the same place as them walked Yang and Sara while just behind them Glynda Goodwitch was heading to the same place alongside Grace. As these six all began to head towards each other off in the dorms with Coco, Velvet, the still unconscious Jaune and Jasmine the four just talked.
"Hey V, you know now that I think about it this guy ain't that bad looking, also he has a better sense of fashion than I thought with this new get up of his."
Coco said as she looked over the knights gear and clothing. She was impressed by his new look as well as interested in what the clothing was made out of confused by the material as it had a strange sheen to it.
"Look at these clothes, I have never seen fabric like this, do you know what it is V?"
The fashionista asked only to be ignored as Velvet and Jasmine sat talking.
"Why won't you believe me?"
Jasmine complained as she spun around in a chair as she talked with her mother.
"I am sorry but time travel isn't possible, it's just the work of science fiction. "
The rabbit said as her supposed daughter just pouted as she spun around in her seat. Behind them Coco was lifting up Jaune's right arm looking at the sleeve of his coat examining the fabric.
"Seriously what is this made out of, it almost looks like someone sprinkled dust over him."
The fashionista said again to be ignored while the two rabbits talked.
"Come now mama you have to be more opened minded, I mean what do I get from lying to you?'
The young rabbit said as Velvet sighed messaging her temples.
"I am sorry but I can't it is just too absurd."
The rabbit said getting an annoyed groan from her supposed daughter who just leaned back in chair as it spun. Coco still looking over Jaune behind the rabbit was now looking over the chest piece Jaune was wearing.
"You know this armor kind of has the same sheen as the coat, it has to be dust, I don't know what else looks like this."
The fashionista said as she slid a hand over the chest piece feeling the metal as she could feel a slight energy in it. As the fashionista was looking over the knight a groan was heard and everyone in the room looked to the knight as he slowly brought his hand up rubbing his face, as he sat up.
"Ok, what happened?"
The knight groaned as he sat up and looked around to room taking it in. With a confused stare he turned to Coco he was leaning over him. The fashionista was about a foot away from his face as she looked at him. The knight let out a tired sigh as he then turned to look at Velvet and Jasmine. When he saw Jasmine he groaned as he hung his head.
"Great, another one."
The knight said dejectedly, getting a confused look from Coco and Velvet as they looked to the knight who swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up.
"What do you mean another one?"
Velvet asked confused as the knight walked up to her and Jasmine.
"Let me guess, she said she is yours and my daughter from the future."
The knight said getting a small nod from Velvet causing him to sigh as he turned around to Coco.
"Did you get one too?"
The knight asked as Coco shook her head no as she just stared at him confused. The knight turned back to Jasmine who was just smiling at him.
"Hello papa."
The girl greeted as the knight just rubbed the back of his head as he thought about what he was going to do. After a few seconds of silence the knight just sighed as he walked back to the bed he woke up on and set down.
"So, do you two believe her crazy story?"
The knight asked Coco and Velvet. The two girls said no as the knight just rubbed the back of his head not really sure what he should say to them.
"What, do you believe her crazy story?"
Coco asked as she walked in front of the knight pointing a finger at him. The knight just pushed the appendage to the side slowly.
"Do I have to answer that?"
The knight asked as the fashionista just chuckled and put a hand on her hip as she stood up straight and looked back to Jasmine.
"I don't know, I mean you did say 'not another one' and she told us you would tell us she is telling the truth."
The fashionista said matter-of-fact as she smiled smugly at the knight who just sighed as he stood up. The fashionista slowly lost her smile as the knight stood up straight as he stood taller than her making her look up.
"Fine, I do believe her, what of it."
The knight said as Coco slowly took a step back impressed by him as she nodded.
"Well I don't know, but tell us, why do you believe her?"
The fashionista asked as Velvet looked to Jasmine who was smiling brightly at Jaune. The rabbit didn't really know what to do as thought about what the knight had said. She still found it unbelievable but here Jaune was saying he believed Jasmine's crazy story about time travel so it made her wonder.
"The reason I believe her story is a little complicated."
The knight said as he began to tell the girl's about the other daughters shocking them save for Jasmine who just sat happy, her father was on her side as he explained things. The girls were shocked at hearing about other daughters but what also shocked them was when Jaune mentioned the Nightmares while leaving out that they already exist and all and only giving some information on them as he just says that is what caused the commotion yesterday.
"Wait so that Grimm everyone is talking about? You killed it."
Coco said impressed by the knight as he just rubbed the back of his head looking off to the side.
"Not the point, look you see a lot has happened since yesterday so I have little reason not to believe the girl…" the knight paused as Jasmine interrupted. "My name is Jasmine." The girl waved and Jaune nodded. "I have no reason not to believe Jasmine after what I have been through so I can't make you believe but it doesn't really matter for now let's just go and find the others and we should be able to clear this whole mess up ok."
The knight said waving to the door getting a nod from Jasmine while Coco and Velvet nodded after a few seconds of thought as they all made their way to the door. The knight went first opening the door for Jasmine. The small rabbit smiled happily as she walked into the hall though as she stepped out there as a dread air filled the room freezing everyone as at the end of the hall at the stairs a thick black fog formed with bright flash's inside it till a huge form came to be from the fog.
The form a huge man stood only the man was covered in thick black skin and white bone armor with bright red grim marks. The Nightmare stood taller than Yatsuhashi with much broader shoulders. The beast was far different than the one Jaune saw the previous day not only in size but its mask was different as well. The beast had three large slab like bones over its shoulders with thick rib like bones over its chest with several large spins running down its back.
Its legs had the same slabs that were on its shoulders while its forearms had three large spikes running along them pointing out towards its elbows. The beast mask wasn't a full mask only covering the top half of the beasts face with large tusks sticking out front the sides. The mask looked like someone took a Goliaths mask off it and stuck it on the beast before the knight. In the beast hands was a hug bone like slab covered in Grimm marks as it looked like a make shift sword made out of a goliath's rib.
The knight turned to see Jasmine and the others staring at the beast in shock frozen by its presence as it stood towering in the hall hunched as it was. The knight looked to Jasmine who stood frozen in the hall and reached out quickly pulling her into the room just as the Nightmare at the end of the hall finished taking form from the black fog letting out an ear splitting roar that shook the building.
As the knight pulled Jasmine into the room he watched as the beast turned and locked eyes with him as it smiled, its black lips turning up as teeth came into view all crooked and broken. The knight literally felt his skin crawl at the sight of the things smile.
"Nope!"
The knight shouted as he slammed the door shut and dragged the girls to the window looking out to see they were only on the third floor.
"Everyone out the window now!"
The knight ordered as the girls slowly began to regain their baring as the knight turned to the door as he felt the room shaking.
"What the hell was that thing!? Why did that thing come out of that fog!?"
Coco shouted as the knight ran to her bed grabbing her hand bag which he knew was her weapon and threw it to her. The fashionista caught it clumsily as the room began to shake more and more as they could hear the walls creaking and breaking as screams could be heard from other rooms.
"That Coco was a Nightmare, now do as I say and jump out that window!"
The knight ordered again as he grabbed Velvets box still not sure what it was giving it to her as he then picked up Jasmine and gave her to Velvet. The girls all looked at Jaune confused for a second as they looked to the window than to him.
"What are you doing?"
Velvet asked confused and shocked while still terrified by the beast she had just seen. Even Coco looked afraid neither of the girls had seen such a monster, so for such a thing to exist was terrifying.
"I am going to draw the things attention while you three go and find, Aeron we are going to need him if we want to kill this thing."
The knight said as he pushed the girls to the window as the room began shaking more and more as they could hear the beast was only two rooms down now. The girls though were all looking at Jaune like he was crazy for wanting to fight the beast alone.
"Are you insane, what can you do against something that big, I doubt my Gatling gun would even hurt it, the best it might do is tickle the fucking thing!"
Coco shouted as she tried to fight against the knight as he pushed her out the window as she clung onto the window seal, Velvet right beside her as they were now sitting on the seal leaning back as the knight tired forcing them out it.
"Yeah well tickling it is better than nothing. Anyways you won't be doing anything, just go and look for Blake, Aeron should be with her, he is a tall black haired cat Faunus with a scar on the left side of his chin, you can't miss him."
The knight said giving another push on the girls as they hung out the window. With a grunt the knight gave up as he just ran to the door as he knew the girls couldn't get back in through the window with the awkward angle they were at as they just hung in the window seal. The knight ran to the door opening it turning back to the girls.
"Anyways what the worst that could happen?"
The knight asked as he stepped into the hall still looking at the girls only for as soon as he was in the hall a giant black fist slammed into him sending him flying down the hall.
"JAUNE!"
"PAPA!"
The girls all shouted, letting go of the window seal and falling out the window down to the bushes below at the bottom of the building. As the girls hit the ground they all groaned as they then looked up to see that Jaune had been sent through the wall at the end of the hall as the girls heard his screaming as they turned in the direction he went flying. The girls all saw as the building shook as the beast then came jumping out the side of the building after Jaune.
