Chapter 6: Moving Forward
The drive back home was tense and quite if Jonathan could describe it and their is a reason for it. Not too long ago he and Weiss had pretty much stood up to Weiss father and the rest of those people back at the charity event and not only that Weiss had the courage to walk out on her own father with Jonathan.
Now Weiss is no longer the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company and her father practically disowned her and for now Weiss would be staying with Jonathan and his father for now. Jonathan looked at his girlfriend and he noticed that she had a mostly blank look on her face. No doubt that she dealing with all kinds of emotions right now and Jonathan wanted to reach out to Weiss so bad but he figure now wasn't the best time to try to talk to her.
A few minutes later it wasn't long until Jonathan George and Weiss made it inside the Joestar manor and Jonathan and Weiss turned around and looked at George no doubt that the older Joestar would want to speak to them about what just happen at the concert charity event. George sighed a bit.
"Jojo that wasn't what I wanted you to handle that you shouldn't have let your anger cloud your judgement like that" George said to his son.
"I understand father and I apologize but I couldn't stand them talking about Vale and I couldn't let Jacques treat Weiss like that" Jonathan said.
"Sir I would like to apologize as well..I didn't mean to dragged you or Jojo into my problems with my family...now their a chance that my father might not do business with you again you could" Weiss started to say but George held up his hand stopping Weiss from continuing.
"There isn't really need to apologize while I don't approve of Jojo actions it was his choice to stand up and defend you and the people who risked their lives at Beacon and I couldn't be anymore proud of him for sticking up to what he believed in" George said.
"Father" Jonathan said.
"Also Weiss you must not be worried even due to recent events we will be fine as of right now since that man practically kicked you out of your own home you can stay here as long as you want and our maids will give you the necessary clothes and will show you to where you be sleeping at" George said to Weiss with a smile on his face.
Weiss was nearly in tears she just got kicked out of her home and was no longer the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company and her boyfriend father had just allowed her to stay in his home showing how considerate he was.
Weiss wiped her eyes "thank you sir you I'm so greatful I promise I will repay you somehow" Weiss said.
"Oh dear you don't owe me anything I'm doing this because I want to however if could please look after Jojo in case he gets into any trouble or danger" George said.
"You don't have to worry about that I promise I will look after Jojo and protect him" Weiss said causing Jonathan to smile at his girlfriend resolve.
"I'm glad to hear that Weiss now then its has been a long night why don't we all try to get to sleep" George said as a few maids came into the room.
George then turned to look at the maids "please show Weiss where one of the guest room is upstairs and prepare fetch her a nightgown and other clothes as well" George said to the maids.
"Understood sir Joestar" the maids said.
After that everybody had went upstairs and went towards their own rooms expect for Jonathan because he wanted to walk with Weiss and bid her goodnight before he heads to his room and get some sleep as well. Once Jonathan and Weiss made it to the guess room the maids have left in order to get some clothes for Weiss.
"Jojo I don't really know what to say these pass few hours has been eventful to say the least" Weiss said.
Jonathan had lightly touched Weiss's face and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Weiss I know things have been difficult and trust me everything will get better soon enough and besides that your free you can finally make your decisions your not held down by your father any longer" Jonathan said.
Weiss gave Jonathan a soft smile thankful that her boyfriend gave her those soothing words of encourgement.
"Thanks Jojo I really don't know what I would do without you your my knight and shining armor" Weiss said as she held on to Jonathan hand causing the large teen to chuckle a bit.
"Oh really if I'm the knight then that must mean your my princess who I just rescued and eventually fell in love with and we get married" Jonathan said causing Weiss to giggle.
"I susspose so you did save me and...I wouldn't actually mind if we did get married Jojo" Weiss said as she blushed a bit.
"I feel the same way Weiss I really do and I hope that eventually that day will come soon but not until this entire mess is over with and I have a plan" Jonathan said as he had a determined look in his Weiss and Weiss know that look all too well she seen the same look from Ruby when she was determined to do something and nothing was going to stop her.
"Jojo just what are you planning exactly?" Weiss asked her boyfriend.
Jonathan smiled at Weiss "don't worry I'll tell you about it tomorrow for now we should try to get some sleep like father suggested" Jonathan said.
Weiss sighed a bit "I suppose your right" she said she then did something uncharacteristic that would make Yang proud if she was here. She then got closer to Jonathan grabbed him by the neck and pulled into a kiss which shocked Jonathan a bit because Weiss was usually never this bold before.
It wasn't long until Jonathan kissed her back the two were in that position for a moment until Jonathan slowly pulled away from the kiss.
"Wow that was...intense" Jonathan said.
"Well consider it as thanks for saving me and being the best boyfriend ever goodnight Jojo I'll see you in the morning" Weiss said.
Jonathan nodded "goodnight Weiss sweet dreams" Jonathan said after that the blue haired youth turned around and headed straight towards his room while Weiss merely watched him for a moment until she heard some footsteps behind her and she turned around and saw the two maids who was carrying some outfits.
"Pardon us but these are the outfits that master George sent us to give them to you" one of the maids said.
Weiss nodded "of course and thank you for that" she said.
Weiss then went inside the guest room and it was pretty big it had a large bed a closet and some dressers as well they even had a bathroom in the guest room as well.
"Just put the clothes on top of the dresser" Weiss told the maids and the maids did what they told and looked at Weiss.
"Is there anything you need ma'am?" one of the maids asked.
"No that will be all thank you so much for helping me" Weiss said to the maids who bowed in response.
"Its our pleasure we hope you have a great night" one of the maids said after that they turned around and left the room leaving Weiss alone in the guest room.
Weiss sighed a bit she then went towards the dresser and looked at the clothes she revived from the maids she then looked and saw a white nightgown and she chose to wear that to bed. Weiss then undid her hair loosen it from the side pony tail she wore and letting her hair slide freely always down towards her back and near the ground she really did let her hair grow in the past year or so she could cut it a little short in the future but as of right now she doesn't have any plans to cut it.
She then went into the bathroom in the guest room and turned on the shower and took off her dress and once she did she took a nice relaxing shower for a couple of minutes. Once she got out of the shower she had set her blue dress she wore to the side and started to dry herself off
Once Weiss did that she began to put on her white nightgown and left the bathroom. Weiss had set her dress on the dresser and she simply went under the covers on the bed and begun to think everything that just happened recently and she had a small smile on her face as if she was finally at peace after that Weiss simply closed her eyes finally having a good night sleep in the first time in ages.
It wasn't until hours later and way early in the morning that Weiss slowly opened her eyes she then sat up and then began to stretch before yawning again.
"I must say its been forever since I had a goodnight sleep" Weiss said she then heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" Weiss said to the person who was knocking on the door.
Opening the door was Rebecca and Weiss saw that she was a dog faunus and she smiled a bit that George doesn't discrimante against faunus and he was more then happy to have them work under him.
"Good morning I'm just here to inform you that breakfast will be ready soon" Rebecca said.
"Ok thank you um" Weiss said as she didn't really know Rebecca name.
"Oh I'm sorry ma'am my name is Rebecca at your service" Rebecca said as he gave a bow towards Weiss.
"Thank you Rebecca and I'll be right down I just need to get ready first" Weiss said.
"Of course Ms Schnee I guess I will let you get ready" Rebecca said as she left and closed the door.
Weiss had a small smile on her face "well she seems nice" Weiss thought not wanting to stay in bed longer she got up from the bed and looked at the clothes she had received and looked at the different clothes she could wear for today.
Weiss then chose and outfit and once she did she set it to the side and she went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. Once she did Weiss had gotten out of the shower and wrapped herself around the towel and left the bathroom. Once she was outside Weiss discarded the towel around her body and put on her dress.
Weiss decided to wear a white like dress with a white slash similar to the blue dress she usually wears at home. Once she did that she then tied her hair around in her usual side pony tail by looking into mirror on the dresser.
"You know its been sometime since I'm worn all white not since Beacon" Weiss said as she had a sad look on her face.
She probably didn't wear white because it brought back the painful memories of what happened at Beacon her time over there was one of the best times she ever had and it was all taken away due to some outside force.
Weiss shook her head thinking about the past wouldn't do her any good for right now she should just head down stairs and greet Jonathan and George and get some fixing herself up a bit Weiss went downstairs to the dining room to meet with Jonathan and George.
Since Weiss knew where the dining room was it didn't take long for her to get there and when she did she already saw Jonathan and George. Jonathan was simply wearing a white dress shirt and a blue vest over it while he was wearing black pants and from what Weiss could tell George was wearing blue suit and blue tie. Both of the Joestar men saw Weiss walk into the dining room and Weiss noticed that three plates of food sitting on the table.
"Hey Weiss good morning" Jonathan said to his girlfriend with a smile on his face.
"Did you sleep well" George asked as Weiss took her seat next to Jonathan.
"Good morning Jojo and yes I did sleep well thank you" Weiss said with a smile on her face.
"That's very good to hear my dear now then now that your here why don't we start eating" George said as he Jonathan and Weiss started eating their breakfast which was eggs bacon french toast sausage and two stacks of pancakes.
While they were eating George had asked Jonathan and Weiss some questions.
"So what are you two going to do today" George asked.
"I was actually hoping Weiss would instruct me today on my swordsmsnship after we eat" Jonathan said.
"Sure its a shame I don't have Myrtneaster with me" Weiss sadly said.
"Don't worry Weiss we will get your weapon back we just can't do our spars today" Jonathan said
"I see well Ironwood is coming over soon I'm not exactly sure what he wants but it sounded serious" George said as Jonathan and Weiss looked at each other with worried looks on their faces.
"You two don't have to worry I will fill you in after I finished talking with him" George said.
Jonathan nodded "all right father I'll leave it to you" he said.
After that Jonathan George and Weiss finished their breakfasts and once they did they went on their separate ways with Jonathan and Weiss going to Jonathan room and getting the passion and getting luck and pluck from his room. He then changed out of his vest and white dress shirt and simply put on a white t shirt. Once he did that he Weiss along with Danny and went out into the court yard to train.
Weiss has intrusteced Jonathan on his swordsmanship and has been doing it for the last three hours and Weiss was impressed Jonathan is improving very quickly and it was astounding really everything he makes a mistake he works hard to try to fix it. He was slowing mastering everything Weiss was teaching him it was scary actually. Weiss said it before but her boyfriend is going to be a monster as a huntsman especially when he reaches his prime.
"Good Jojo that was excellent" Weiss said as Jonathan did one last thirst with his sword he then sighed a bit and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I believe this would be good time to stop for today wouldn't you agree Weiss" Jonathan turned to look at his girlfriend and smile.
"Of course Jojo" Weiss said.
Jonathan put up luck and pluck along with the passion and he and Weiss had sat down on the two didn't say anything at first until. Weiss started to say something to her boyfriend.
"Jojo you told me you had a plan what did you exactly mean by that?" Weiss asked.
Jonathan sighed but he turned to look at Weiss.
"I'm know your aware about the fall of beacon obvisouly" Jonathan said.
"Yes but what's your point Jojo" Weiss asked.
"I'm saying what if its not Beacon what whoever attacked Beacon is going to attack the other schools as well" Jonathan said.
"Your saying that they would attack the other schools as well?" Weiss asked.
"Yes as of right now Beacon as fallen which means that Haven Shade and Atlas haven't been attacked yet which means that the enemy and the white fang who is working for them are going to try attacking those areas next" Jonathan said.
"That makes sense Jojo if they attacked Beacon there no doubt they would attack the other schools as well especially with CCT down" Weiss said.
"Exactly and here my plan I trust that Ironwood and the Atlas military will be alright for the moment in protecting the academy and with the conditions in Vacuo they are probably going to attack them last" Jonathan said.
"So your saying they are going to attack Haven next" Weiss replied.
"Exactly and my plan is that we take a plane to Mistral and warn the school of a potential attack by the white fang and the people they are working with and hopefully stop them so they can hurt and kill any one else it also gives you a chance to see your team again" Jonathan said.
"Jojo that is a big plan you been thinking about this for some time haven't you?" Weiss asked.
"I have" Jonathan replied.
"I see you were thinking about my own needs you want to reunite my team together while also trying to stop the guys that caused the fall of beacon from hurting and killing everybody else incredible Jojo you always put others before yourself" Weiss said with a smile.
"But isn't that what a huntsman is about putting others before yourself after all our job is to protect and save many lives as possible" Jonathan said causing Weiss to giggle because that statement reminded her about her mission with Oobleck and them stopping Torchwhick and the white fang.
"Yes you are right sorry you reminded me back then when I was on a mission on my team where I learned what it means to be a huntress you know Yang Blake and I didn't get it but Ruby did but that's because you two are alike in wanting to save everyone from danger" Weiss said.
"I see you told me a lot about Ruby I can't wait to meet her soon if she at Mistral as well" Jonathan said.
"But Jojo how in the world are we going to get to Haven and when are we going?" Weiss asked.
"Tonight if possible father has some connections to the airports here in Atlas he could hire a pilot and they could take us to Mistral and also we can try to get your weapons as well we should go talk to father right away but what do you think Weiss" Jonathan asked the former heiress.
"I think that's a great idea Jojo dangerous and maybe foolish but it's a good idea anything to get out of Atlas and be with my team again I will miss your father and Klien but I'm glad your coming with me" Weiss said as she held Jonathan hand.
"I feel the same way Weiss" Jonathan said as the two stood up while they were still holding hands and Danny woke up and sat up as well.
"Come on father should probably still be in office downstairs" Jonathan said he then grabbed luck and pluck and strapped it on his back and he had each of his shot gauntlets on his wrist. After that he and Weiss made their way towards George office.
.Once the duo made it towards the front door of the office Jonathan knocked on the door.
"Yes" George called out.
"Father its Weiss and I may we come in" Jonathan said to his father..
"Yes you two can come in" George said.
Jonathan opened the door and he and Weiss went inside the office and it was pretty big Weiss had to admit it was probably just as big as her father office. When they got inside the office both Jonathan and Weiss looked and saw that George had a bit of trouble expression on his face.
"Father you seemed troblued is something wrong?" Jonathan asked his father.
"Yes Jojo I just talked with general Ironwood he was just here over an hour ago" George said.
"What did you two discuss exactly?" Weiss asked.
'ironwood is going to close Atlas borders soon" George said.
"What!" both Jonathan and Weiss said
"He said this was the best possible outcome ro protect Atlas for the upcoming battles I tried to reason with him a little maybe he was being a bit paranoid but he wouldn't budge though I could understand he doing what he thinks its right to protect the people in Atlas" George said.
"Then that means we have to leave tonight then" Jonathan said.
"Leave what are you talking about Jojo" George asked.
"Father Weiss and K believe the same people that are going to attack Beacon are going to attack the other schools we want you to hire a pilot so that they can get us to Haven at Mistral right away" Jonathan said.
"Are you crazy Jojo its too dangerous!" George yelled.
"I known father but I can't just sit around and do nothing all my life I train to be a huntsman because I wanted to carry the family legacy and help and save a lot of people to prevent incidents like Beacon from ever happening how can I if I'm just stuck sitting here while huntsman and huntress like Weiss and her team are risking their lives for the greater good!" Jonathan yelled.
"Jojo" George said.
Weiss was the one to speak up next.
"Sir do you remember what I said last night our promise I promised you that I was going to look at jojo and that I wasn't going to let him die please just let us go I promise you that no harm will come to Jojo on my watch" Weiss said.
George looked at Jonathan and Weiss and sighed knowing that they were determined to do this no matter what plus it was another sign that Jonathan is maturing and George can't hold back on some stuff from him forever.
"Very well I can hire a pilot from the speedwagon foundation from Vacuo to get you two Mistral luckily some are station here for the time being I'll give them a call in the meantime you two should get ready for the trip" George said.
Jonathan and Weiss smiled glad that George was able to say yes.
The two then left George office and both Weiss and Jonathan left so that they could get ready for their trip. It took a couple of hours but Weiss and Jonathan were both ready and night has already fallen Jonathan was wearing his blue tank top shirt with shoulder pads and grey pants with a red belt with the letter J on opposites sides and black boots he was wearing the passion on his arms and he had luck and pluck strapped behind his back. Weiss was wearing her blue skirt like dress and a white ribbon tied around her heels only difference unlike Jojo she doesn't have Myrtneaster with her.
About an hour ago one of the servants alerted them to meet George in the backyard because that is wear the plane will pick up them up at so Jonathan and Weiss had went to the backyard and they saw a very large plane with the speedwagon near the end and Weiss and Jonathan saw a piolt inside the plane and George was their and he was carrying a suitcase.
"Father what is that suitcase your carrying?" Jonathan asked his father.
"Ah this is actually for Weiss" George said he handed the suitcase to Weiss.
"For me?" Weiss said as he grabbed it and started opening it.
"Yes one of your bultees came by and gave it it me and said it was for you...he has quite the personality if I do say so myself" George said.
"Klein" Weiss said as she opened the box and she found Myrtneaster and a couple of dust and dust bullets inside her suitcase and Weiss smiled.
"Thank you Klien" Weiss said Klein basically risked his job all of that because he wanted to give Weiss her weapon back he truly did know what she wanted and was truly a better butler and father figure. Jonathan smiled at the display while Weiss closed her suitcase but before that they had to say their goodbyes to George.
Weiss then went up to George and gave him a hug "thank you so much for taking me in" Weiss said as George smiled and returned the hug.
"Of course dear as far as I'm concern your already part of the family just know you have a home here to return to never forget that" George said as they separated themselves from the hug.
"I won't and I promise we will make it out of this alive once all of this over" Weiss said.
"Alright good luck Weiss" George said as Weiss nodded and she went on towards the back of the plane leaving George and Jonathan to talk.
"Be careful son it looks like your going to be part of a huge war and something that might be hard for you to understand" George said.
"I know father but I can't just watch as they destroy people lives like this but I will be careful and try to stay safe as well Atlas might be their next target after Mistral" Jonathan said.
"I trust James I'm sure he will do a fine job in protecting us" George said with a smile after that both Jonathan and George gave each other a hug and after a moment they separated themselves from the hug.
"Now get going its quite rude to keep a fine young lady like Weiss waiting" George said.
"Right good bye father" Jonathan said.
"Goodbye Jojo and take care of yourself and Weiss" George said.
"I will" Jonathan said after that Jonathan had went on the back of the large plane and once he did the door close and the plane slowly lifted up in the air and once it was high up in the air it quickly took off leaving Atlas and was heading straight towards Mistral with George looking on as the plane was disappearing into the distance and George silently wishing his son and the girl he deeply cares as if she was his own daughter a safe trip.
A/N: Finally done with this chapter it took many days but its finished hope you guys enjoy the chapter. You could say this chapter here ends the events of volume four and we will go to the events of volume five and Jonathan will meet and spend some time with Ruby and the others since...they don't really do anything at all in volume 5 so one good thing it gives Jonathan some time to get to know everybody.
