Teams JNPR, SSSN, and CFVY were taking the Bullhead back to Beacon. Ozpin was still at Haven, trying to find a new Headmaster or Headmistress for Haven with Oscar accompanying him, as he was still personally learning from Ozpin. Of course, when Dory and Ironwood found out about Lionheart's betrayal, they both wanted to come in guns blazing. Dory wanted to drive her foot up Lionheart's cowardly ass so deep that Lionheart wouldn't be able to sit while Ironwood wanted to interrogate Lionheart and learn everything he knew. Unfortunately for Ironwood, he would not be able to as Lionheart was from Mistral, and so an Atlesian General like Ironwood wasn't allowed due to international law. Instead, the Mistral council would be leading this case. So far, Ozpin found a potential replacement, Lionheart's nephew Raphael. A bit hot-headed, but ultimately fiercely loyal to those he cared about. When he heard of Leo's betrayal, he immediately cast Leo out of his life.
"Glad that's over with," said Jaune as he sat down, his hands gripping tightly on the bag, as the Relic of Choice was still buried inside. Once they got to Beacon, Glynda Goodwitch would be waiting for them, along with team RWBY and NDGO, where they would quickly be guided to the secret chamber containing the other Relic. They would be blindfolded, of course, so they wouldn't know the exact location.
"It'll be good to see the others again," added Pyrrha as she leaned her head on his shoulder, "Though I will admit, I will miss sleeping by your side every night now we're with the other girls again."
"I can't wait to see what Beacon looks like so I can brrreeak it in!" chanted Nora, emphasizing a favorite word of hers.
"Nora, no breaking," scolded Ren, "We're still in our two-week break."
"But you just said we're on break. So why not break stuff while on break?" Nora said to him.
Ren sighed and shook his head, Coco chucked at the scene before voicing "Once we get there I've got a date with my favorite store and you're coming with me, Velvet. We need to get you some new clothes."
"Fox and I will-" started Yatsuhashi, but Coco stopped him cold.
"You two get to be our carriers. We got a lot of shopping to do," interrupted Coco, snapping her fingers, "I have a whole closet to restock in the latest fashion. And you guys also need to get some new clothes, too. No skipping out of it!"
Yatsuhashi and Fox both groaned as their heads fell forward sadly, knowing this shopping spree would take all day.
"Aww, don't look glum," said Coco as she leaned forward, "I have a summer beach wardrobe that needs updating, and both Velvet and I could use a man's opinion about our swimsuits."
"Coco!" said Velvet, mortified at this while Yatsuhashi and Fox now seemed interested.
"Hey, I can see Beacon!" shouted Sun as he leaned out the door.
Everyone quickly rushed to the windows to see Beacon pulling up in sight. Though construction was still going on, the academy looked almost fully repaired. The CCT was standing stronger than ever, and they could see it had been reinforced with a few turrets around it. The arena was also fully repaired, as were the dorms. Only a few classrooms seemed to still be under construction.
"It's good to be back," smiled Jaune as the Bullhead was preparing to land.
"Be prepared for a hug fest," warned Sun, "I only got one girl tackling me. You got five."
Jaune shrugged while Neptune was off crying in a corner, ranting about injustice. As they landed, they all hopped off just to hear their names being called out. Sun was right as Jaune turned to the source. Team RWBY and Dew tackled Jaune onto the ground as soon as they saw him. Pyrrha just smiled as she saw her sister mates, the fellow wives of Jaune's beloved family.
Jaune wasn't the only one, as Ren found himself tackled to the ground not only by Octavia, but also by Melanie and Miltia, with Nora joining in because she could. Junior stood to the side chuckling at Ren's situation. Sun was merely tackled by Gwen but still standing as he hugged her back.
"We're going on a date as soon as possible," said Gwen, "It'll be a group date. You and me. Ren and Octavia. Jaune and Dew. Team NDGO is going out!"
"How'd you get Team RWBY to agree to let Dew get first date?" asked Sun.
"Easy. they drew straws, and Dew won," shrugged Octavia.
"Dang it! I'm so jealous!" cried Neptune, tears streaming once more until Nebula walked up to him and gave him her handkerchief.
"I'll give this back to you when I'm done," said Neptune in awe as he wiped his tears, but Nebula was still there as if contemplating something before turning her back to him but not leaving.
"Ask me out Neptune," commanded Nebula.
"Yes," said Neptune immediately.
"Wasn't a question, but I like your enthusiasm. I'll go get ready."
"I'll come with you."
"While you all have your plans," coughed Glynda interrupting all of them, "Jaune and some of the others still have a very important mission to fulfill at the moment."
Nodding in agreement, anyone without the Mate Mark or Dragon Mark left while the others were blindfolded and lead by Glynda into the secret passageway. They were only allowed to take it off when Glynda told them to, and found themselves staring at a huge vault door similar to the one in Haven. However, in addition to the door, they looked around and saw no visible entrances that they might have come in through.
"Part of the security measure," said Glynda with a smirk, "Even if someone manages to grab the image of the place from your head, they have no idea where to even start."
"Let's just get this over with," sighed Jaune as he began to do full link with his dragons.
As soon as he flashed his power along with the others, the vault door opened slightly.
"I'm afraid I'll have to ask Jaune to accompany me alone," insisted Glynda.
The others nodded and waited outside patiently as Jaune and Glynda entered through the vault doors. In there, Jaune saw a pyramidal object floating on a pedestal.
"The Relic of Knowledge," said Glynda before asking Jaune to take out the object she had given him earlier. Jaune nodded and took out several thick glass panels. Glynda moved the pedestal with the relic and connected the glass panels together to form a barrier around the relic, sealed up tightly. Jaune then took out the Relic of Choice with a pedestal, placed it a few feet away from the Relic of Knowledge, and let Glynda do the same thing once more.
"There," said Glynda as she lowered her crop, "That should act as a secondary protective measure. Even if they get through this vault, they'll need to have some serious firepower to break through these. James managed to get some for me just in time. They're very durable to almost everything, even Aura."
The crew was blindfolded once more before being lead out of the vault and back to the grounds on Beacon.
"Uhh, Jaune?"
Junior approached Jaune cautiously, "I may have made some decisions without consulting you. I-"
Jaune stopped him there, "Whatever decision you made, I trust you. You can tell me later, Dew wants to go out on the date soon."
"Will do, boss," said Junior, saluting him, "Also, we technically own half of Beacon now."
"Uhh, what? How?" A baffled Jaune asked.
"I helped out with the reconstruction and paid for a lot of it. Stuff happened, and I became the patron for half the stuff."
"... Sweet. Good job. Now I need to change into some regular clothes for the group date tonight."
Soon enough, Jaune, Ren, Sun, and Neptune were waiting for their dates. They were currently using the empty rooms for now, as the dormitories had yet to be assigned once more.
"Looking good," complimented Yang as she and the twins entered the hall, "I can't wait for my turn."
She winked at Jaune and moved to leave, putting a noticeable swing in her hips as she walked away.
"Us too," added the Malachite twins as they gave Ren a swift peck on the cheek before following Yang's example. Team RWBY, Pyrrha, Nora, and the twins were having a girls night at their dorms while the others were on a date night.
"Oh boy, I'm so nervous! What if it doesn't work out? What if-"
Neptune was panicking so much that Sun slapped him on the back to snap him out of it.
"We're ready, boys!" Said the voice of Nebula.
They turned around and felt their jaws drop as they were all wearing tight dresses of their color scheme that accentuated their figures. Dew was wearing forest green, Nebula with lavender, Gwen with black, and Octavia with turquoises.
"You boys ready for a good night out?" asked Nebula.
They all nodded at once and hooked arms with their date for the night.
Ruby and the other girls observed them as they left, and the silver-eyed Huntress asked, "Think they're going to do anything after?"
"Dew said something about making it special," answered Weiss.
"Huh, so did Octavia," added Nora.
"You don't think...?" asked Blake, her mind already going into the gutter while her hand was writing ideas.
"That the boys are going to get a good glimpse of other girls?" finished Pyrrha.
"Probably," shrugged the twins as they examined their nails.
"How are you so calm about this?" asked Yang.
"Easy. We trust our boy not to 'taste' other girls than the one he's dating," said Militia.
"We allow looking," continued Melanie, "After all, we admire movie star and their hot looks, don't we?"
"Long as we both know who's truly in our hearts, then it's fine," finished both of them.
The other girls stared at the twins for a bit.
"Damn, that's deep," said Yang.
"We know. Meanwhile, you girls have fun while we interrogate Nora so we know what to expect," replied Militia as the two girls suddenly grabbed Nora and dragged her away.
"Huh. Guess tonight's going to be an interesting night for Jaune and the others," blinked Ruby.
"Well, I get to go next," huffed Weiss.
"Hey Ruby, wanna make it a dual date when it's our turn?" asked Yang, "We can go to that cafe that serves those cookies you like."
"Yeah, that'd be awesome!" cheered Ruby.
"You're going to have to wait your turn for a while," said Blake, turning to Pyrrha, "You had Jaune the whole semester to yourself."
"I know," sighed Pyrrha, "Don't really like it, but I still demand I get my cuddles on my nights."
"I don't think any of us have any problems with that. By the way... how many times did you two make love?" whispered Blake, her nose practically about to bleed.
Pyrrha smirked and said, "Ohhh quite a bit, and while I'll leave the details up to your imagination; let's just say that Jaune proved to me he really does love me."
Pyrrha walked off, leaving a flustered Blake behind.
The dating group had finished their dinner and were now at a nightclub dancing away. Neptune's disastrous moves were luckily covered up by Nebula's sensual dance while Sun showed Octavia a good time with his wild moves, and Ren and Jaune were more restrained and romantic with their respective partners. They spent the next hour dancing away in the night and soon enough they were walking back towards the docks to the Bullhead, tired from the eventful night.
All of a sudden the four girls nodded to each other, and grabbed their dates and dragged them to a hotel, where they had booked the penthouse in advanced thanks to Junior's connections.
"Whoa, whoa, not that I'm complaining, but you sure you want to move this fast?" asked Neptune, "It's only been the first date."
"Relax big boy, you ain't my first," said Nebula as she rolled her eyes, "I just want to see if we're compatible. Unless you're feeling shy?"
"No, no, I'm good! I'll become a man tonight!"
"Good boy. Now sit and stay while we girls change into something... more comfortable."
As the girls disappeared into the bathroom, the others were already calling the rooms they wanted when they noticed there was a rather large round bed in the middle of the room.
"Errr you don't think?" asked Sun, pointing to the bed.
"They can't be serious... can they?" asked Ren.
"I knew they were all close as they went to the same combat school, but this close?" murmured Jaune.
Neptune was in the middle of hyperventilating from this information.
"You got that right, boys!"
They whirled around to see the girls come out and jaws dropped even lower. Each girl was now wearing only panties and bra again with their usual color scheme.
"You see, admittedly, Gwen and Dew are only the real virgins here. Me and Octavia fooled around a bit back at our final year at Shadow Combat School," answered Nebula.
"Sorry Ren, you won't be my first, but I do hope you'll be the only one I have for the rest of my life," waved Octavia.
He smiled and nodded, "I would be honored, my dear."
"Gwen admitted that when she wanted to lose hers, she wanted to do it in style, and that was with all her girlfriends together," smiled Dew as she hugged Gwen.
"Hope you don't mind, Sun," said Gwen shyly, "But in return, I'll let you see other girls. No tasting them, though."
"I wouldn't even think about it," said Sun gently and firmly, taking Gwen into his arms, grabbing her by the hips, lifting her up and kissing her lovingly.
"Guess we're doing this," sighed Ren before Octavia dragged him on the bed.
"Come on, stop breathing heavily and get to work," commanded Nebula as she dragged Neptune onto the bed.
"Hope you don't mind," said a blushing Dew as she hugged Jaune, "But I admit I feel better doing it with my friends."
"Long as you feel comfortable and don't do swapping, I'm good," answered Jaune.
"Holy crap you're lucky!" shouted Othim from inside his mind, "Such a kinky group!"
"This continues to bedazzle me," sighed Aryz, "But I guess they feel safer in a pack."
"Alright, everyone just turn away and head to sleep," waved Alaerth, "No point in us being here. Except for Aryz. He might put the Mate Mark on Dew today."
"I'm staying up to watch this!" said Othim eagerly, just for Andusk's fist to land on top of his head.
And thus, Team NDGO and their boys stayed in the penthouse suite. They didn't check out until noon time the next day.
Kuo Kuana
Kali and Ghira were enjoying their time together, sipping on some tea that Kali had made. It was a fine day as Ghira had finished the overwhelming paperwork for the day.
"I hope Blake is doing all right," said Ghira as he sipped his tea.
"I'm sure she's doing fine. She has friends that will watch her back, as well as Jaune now. Blake sent us a letter how they would be meeting back at Beacon," replied Kali as she took a fish chip from the center bowl that she laid.
The two enjoyed each other's company when Ghira suddenly shifted left to dodge an arrow aiming for his head.
"You might as well come out now," growled Ghira as he stood up, ready for a fight, "You chose a very bad time to interrupt my time with my wife."
Five cloaked figures revealed themselves, with the human palms of black and white on their back.
"The Children of the Brothers demand your death so humanity will prevail," rasped one of the figures.
"Oh give it a rest, I know you're not with that group," sighed Ghira as he rolled his eyes, "You're Adam Taurus's people, trying to kill me and my wife, frame that human radical group so the Faunus will flock back into the White Fang."
The five gaped at this, but one of them chuckled, "It won't matter much once your dead. Be proud, as the Belladonna family will become martyrs for the Faunus to ascend to their rightful position, above the humans. Just as the White Fang fought for."
"The White Fang fought for equality," spat Ghira, "Not superiority. Either leave or face the consequences."
"What consequences?" sneered another, "You're outnumbered, and your helpless wife is just another weakness for us to use. Maybe she could be used to help us in more than one way. Your daughter's next, and I look forward to some -"
He didn't get to finish as a knife embedded itself into the man's hand. He screamed in pain as he fell to the floor, his hood dropping to reveal weasel ears.
"I may be a housewife, but I'm far from helpless," said Kali as she sipped on her tea while her other hand held several throwing daggers.
"I see," said the leader, stepping forward, "A misconception on our part. But well in our plans to handle you. You didn't think we'd just bring so little to take you down?"
He snapped his hands to reveal five more people. He frowned at that sight, though. They had brought 20 White Fang members to deal with this. Where was the other ten? He had his answer as the wall burst open and a White Fang member came crashing through, knocking out four more.
"What!?"
"Bal, that's coming out of your pocket," groaned Ghira as he looked at the broken wall.
"Sorry. I hit her a little too hard," said Bal as he peaked through the hole.
The leader gulped and tried to order his assassins to attack, but another sound rang in the night.
"Stop right there."
From the shadows came out Sienna Khan. They all paled at the sight of her growling at them. Even if she wasn't their High Leader anymore, she still had a presence that demanded respect.
"So trying to kill me wasn't enough. Adam ordered the deaths of all the founders of the White Fang, is that right? Well then, Adam has another thing coming then."
At once, the Kuo Kuana security force arrived to arrest them.
"We must flee," hissed one of the members, "This mission has failed."
The leader hesitated but agreed, throwing down a smoke bomb with special properties. Each one of the assassins quickly put on a mask as the cloud spread. The smoke contained chemicals that would irritate the eyes and nose of anyone, but it was especially effective against Faunus. As the security department gagged and tried to get out of the cloud, one of them tried to go for Ghira. Sienna intercepted the assassin with her eyes closed, her hand gripping the assassin's head.
"Remember when I bragged that I could pop a man's skull with my bare hands? Well, let's put it to a test." She snarled.
The assassin's eyes widened as Sienna's grip tightened so much that he felt his eyes were popping out. His lemur tail drooped down as his hands clawed at Sienna's hand, but it was fruitless. Sienna was just too strong as her grip cracked through the face mask and digging into the man's skull.
"Sienna, let him go. We need one to interrogate as the others ran," said Kali as she grabbed Sienna's side.
Sienna frowned before tossing the man into the wall, where he would live but be unconscious for the while. On the man's head, they could easily see indents where Sienna's fingers had been digging in. They wouldn't be surprised if there were cracks on the skull, either.
"What about the other ones that ran? Can't we take them?" asked one of the guards.
"They ran towards the jungle area... and Ghira's already following them," replied Kali.
"We must assist him!" shouted one of the guards.
"Don't bother. He won't need help. He's in hunting mode," waved Kali.
Both Bal and Sienna shivered at this statement while the guards looked confused.
"Trust her," said Bal, "When Ghira's in hunting mode and its at the jungle, he's beary scary to fight against. He's so silent and swift even though his size doesn't seem like he would be like that."
"There will be no prisoners. Just dead assassins. The hunters have now just become the hunted. They are prey to the alpha predator," said Sienna, her voice shivering a bit. They had fought Ghira before in the jungle and lost badly. Only their old friend King had been a match against Ghira, but even he still lost. In the jungle, one could say Ghira was the king in there.
Kali, however, noticed that when Sienna stated that fact, she detected within that shiver a hint of lust. She thought about it for a bit before deciding on a perfect birthday gift for Ghira.
"Sienna, let's talk for a bit. I have the 6th volume of the Ninja's of Love and would love to have someone to talk to with," whispered Kali to Sienna.
Sienna blushed at that but agreed, not knowing what Kali was scheming.
"Where is he?" huffed a female member, scared out of her wits.
"Just keep running!" replied leader.
There had been eight of them that made it into the jungle. They thought they were safe when they heard a growl, followed by one of them flying through some trees before landing on the floor hard. It was easy to see from the way his neck was bent that he was dead. That made them panic and split off into different directions, some sticking together.
As the two members were running, they could hear screams, threats, gunfire, and finally people begging for mercy, only to be silenced in the next second.
"How is he so efficient?" sobbed the female member, her clock already off to reveal bunny ears, "I can't even hear him, and yet he's taken down others! He should be weak! Adam said so!"
"We made a huge mistake," gasped the male leader with a wolf nose, trying to sniff Ghira out. He looked much older than even Ghira. "We thought being the mayor of this place made him soft and rusty. We all forgot that despite his seemingly loving nature, he was still the leader of the White Fang as well as one of the founders. My Uncle once told me that before Ghira helped create the White Fang, he was described as the best assassin. Rumor has it he can hide where nobody even expects it. Even with Faunus bodyguards and hi-tech equipment he can go undetected and slip past defenses to slit his target's throat without anyone even knowing he's there. THe worst part is, that I asked him if he was just exaggerating. He gave me a look that told me everything."
"How?! He's huge!" cried the female, twitching and reacting to even the slightest sounds.
"Nobody knows. It might be his Semblance, but it also explains why Sienna respects him so much even though she took his place as... OH SHIT!"
"What!?"
"We fucked up. We ran into the jungle! Rumor has it if it's in the jungle, Ghira is a hundred times more deadlier!"
"How can he be a hundred times more deadlier?" asked the female in a hysterical tone.
"I'm not sure I should be happy or not that my reputation still remains."
Before the two could react, a hand shot out and grabbed the male by his throat before an eerie crack was heard. The male fell down to the floor gurgling with a broken neck.
"That was for thinking about threatening my family," whispered Ghira before kicking him into some trees. He slowly turned around to see the bunny Faunus had fallen to the ground and trying to scramble away, still facing Ghira. Ghira could see that the White Fang member had pissed herself, as there was a path of liquid trailing from her.
"Please, don't kill me!" squeaked the Faunus, "I'll do anything!"
As if to show that, she started to strip herself as she was even willing to lower herself to a sex slave. Anything to live and escape the wrath of Ghira Belladonna.
Ghira stared at the Faunus before his hand shot out. The Faunus flinched until she felt a gentle hand touch her head. She looked up just in time for Ghira to disappear before something hit the back of her neck, where she fell unconscious.
"Oooh, not looking forward to carrying her back." sighed Ghira as he grabbed her clothes, bundled her up, and started to carry her back to the village. He stopped by two more places and dragged two more members with him.
"Damn, you took prisoners?" whistled Bal as he saw Ghira coming back, "You used to never take prisoners back in the day. Especially when it's in the jungle and you're in hunting mode."
"Assassins or not, they're still Faunus. As Mayor of a major Faunus settlement, I had to give them a choice. Most of them just refused it, though," sighed Ghira, "Where's Kali and Sienna?"
"Inside your private study, talking about something. Not sure what, but sounds important."
"Sir, you're back!" saluted one of the security force.
"Take these to the jail cells, along with any other you managed to capture. Nobody is allowed to see them until my say so. I've had a long day, and I want some rest," ordered Ghira as he passed his three prisoners to them.
They saluted and put them on a wheel barrel along with the others and left.
"Kali, I'm going to take a shower first," shouted Ghira as he grabbed his clothes.
"Oh dear," said Kali as she stood up, breaking her conversation with Sienna, "I'm going to go in with him."
"Not that I should ask, but why?" questioned Sienna.
"Ghira may be one of the best assassins ever, but when he goes savage he isn't exactly left in a mentally sound mood. If I don't do something, he'll try to drown his feelings and scrub his hands as hard as he can to wipe off the blood that he believes is still on his hands, even to the point of bleeding," said Kali softly, "He's had this before we even dated."
"I never knew," whispered Sienna, "He's never shown that side to us before."
"He hides it well, but he can't hide it from me. I know him too well," said Kali.
As Kali left, Sienna sighed as she leaned back on the couch.
"Perhaps it was best that Ghira went with Kali," sighed Sienna, "Oum knows I would've been a terrible housewife. She handles him the best."
"Oh, and Sienna? Bring yourself and Bal to the bedroom. He'll need all the company he can get," added Kali, "And do think about what I said earlier."
Sienna blushed crimson at that last part before shaking her head.
"I will never be able to understand her. For a Cat Faunus, she's a real vixen," muttered Sienna before going to find Bal.
Kali swiftly stripped her clothes and entered the bath to see Ghira trying to scrub his hands with a sponge.
"Shhh, it's okay," said Kali as she hugged her husband.
"It won't come off. The blood. The stench. It's not washing off," said Ghira feverishly as he continued scrubbing, even though there was clearly no blood.
"It's all in your imagination. Just relax."
"I can't. I killed those people. Fellow Faunus. I, the mayor, killed them! I, I-!"
"You did what you had to do to protect not only your family but all the Faunus here. Such is the burden you carry."
As Kali began to gently wash his body, Ghira felt his body slowly relaxing.
"I don't know what I'd do without you," sighed Ghira.
"Don't worry, I'll always be here," replied Kali.
The two of them soon finished and went to bed. As Kali placed her husband's head towards her chest, he felt someone's chest hugging his back, followed by a soft paw on his head.
"We're with you," said Bal as he patted Ghira's head. He knew Ghira didn't like killing but hadn't known about how he dealt with the fallout.
"We know you. You're not a cold-blooded murderer. You're a protector, who's willing to do what needs to be done," said Sienna from his back.
Soon enough, Ghira's breath became soft as he fell asleep. Bal pulled out a sleeping bag and slept on the floor while the others laid on the bed, falling asleep into the night.
"WHAT!?"
The Albain brothers winced at Adam's voice before Fennec replied, "Mission failed. The Belladonnas had Bal Bloo and Sienna Khan with them. I don't understand how they managed to sneak into Menagerie without us noticing."
"This is unforgivable," growled Adam, "Sienna Khan. Ghira Belladonna. They were supposed to be the 'martyrs' for the revolution. The necessary sacrifice for the Faunus to assume their rightful position, above the humans. I understand Sienna and Bal can fight, but how did they not kill the foolish peace loving oaf? He's weak now! He's not a fighter anymore!"
"We promise we'll get them, but for now, we need to lie low," said Corsac, "Wait and recover for some months, maybe half a year before we start building our members again."
"...No."
"What?" gaped the Albain brothers.
"We cannot afford any more delays. Gather your forces here and leave for Anima. I shall be contacting all others branches to gather at the main headquarters. While you're leaving, convince as many as you can to join us. And make it they have no other choice but to join, or die for being a traitor. We will gather strength here and strengthen our current forces. We'll strike at Haven and for freedom for the Faunus near the end of the semester. From what's been told, Lionheart's been exposed, and so it is too risky to strike now."
And with that, Adam hung up, most likely to call the other branches.
"Wouldn't it be better to attack right now?'" asked Fennec, "Haven is in chaos right now."
"No, Adam is right," lectured Corsac, "Because of it, the security within Haven must have increased. Huntsmen and Huntresses of Mistral will have been called back and they'll have their strongest forces at hand. It would too risky and too costly to attack now. Better to wait and let their guard go down when they send their forces back out in the field."
"Then it is good we have time," smiled Fennec as he looked at the door for one of their members to walk in. He was significantly different from the other Faunus that was known in this world, for he had bat wings. Fennec and Corsac had finally found a flying Faunus.
"So, will your village fight with us?" asked Fennec.
"...Maybe," grunted the Faunus, "I'll have to ask and convince of the chieftain."
"Perhaps a meeting with High Leader Adam will help," suggest Corsac.
"No. My chieftain won't like someone who is so willing to draw his blade easily for his own sake. My tribe chose to be isolated from everyone to avoid all conflict. If the White Fang drags us in, we will most likely fight against you, as your organization is the primary offender."
"Then a more peaceful solution is needed. Bring me to your tribe, and I'm sure I can convince your tribe to side with us," soothed Corsac before turning to Fennec, "You will need to gather all the White Fang here and prepare them to head to Menagerie. If you can convince more people, all the better."
"I will prepare for our departure," said the Faunus as he left.
"It's a good thing he didn't hear what Adam said earlier," murmured Fennec, "Otherwise they would surely refuse."
"Indeed. I will be leaving this to you. Do as High Leader Taurus says. And if you can, free our members from their unjust prison and try to silence the Belladonnas. Though I don't understand how it failed."
The problem with that thought process was that many of the Faunus in the White Fang lived after the Great War, and did not know about the legends behind Ghira. Many took him as a naive has been with no real fight, even with his large body size. All they saw was him trying to advocate peace and equality. They did not see the other side of his face, the darker half. Those who lived during the Great War didn't know much about Ghira either, as he worked in the shadows. They only spoke of his other name, and never attached it to him. Only a few knew of his assassin's name: The Black Panther.
"So, how was it?" asked Yang as she dodged a punch from Nebula.
All the girls were sparring against each other without weapons for the day before heading to a spa. Sun had gotten the Aura Cuffs and was trying to just make it through the day. His Aura didn't shatter at night like he thought it would, but he was having a hard time moving much less fight. Team SSSN decided to just use the pool to swim for a bit, allowing Neptune to get more used to the water while helping Sun adjust. Jaune and Ren were off to see Junior and the twins, as they had business to deal with.
"Not bad. Neptune shows good potential, but room to improve," replied Nebula as she tried to kick Yang.
"I meant the whole thing of doing it while everybody else was watching," said Yang slyly.
"If you're asking it was a full-on orgy then no," answered Nebula dryly, "Nobody swapped partners. We did get an eyeful of each other and our boyfriends, though. After that, we split into our rooms to continue our fun."
"So, any of you girls ride your partner to exhaustion?" piped Blake as she leaned back from Octavia's kick.
"Oh, mine easily," said Nebula, "But it was Neptune's first time."
"I was surprised at Ren's stamina. He doesn't seem like the guy that has a lot of energy," added Octavia.
"That's because of me!" exclaimed Nora as she tried to hammer fist a squeaking Weiss. Her fists made contact with the ground and created a crater.
"That makes a lot more sense now," nodded Octavia.
"Sun was... eager," said Gwen, blushing "We both blew a short fuse in our bed."
"I'll say. It sounded like you were enjoying yourself a lot," commented Nebula, "Though I could've sworn I heard you moaning before something stifled it."
"One word. Semblance," answered Gwen, leaving it to their imagination.
"Damn girl. Who knew you were so kinky?" said Octavia hotly.
"What about you, Dew?" said Gwen, trying to push the spotlight off her now, "You must've enjoyed yourself."
"Oh, I did," blushed Dew, "Granted, Jaune's already been with almost everyone except Weiss in our group."
"And I have no plans on pushing it further than I'm comfortable with," added Weiss, though she admitted that she was nearing her limit to herself.
"And I admit, I don't think I can handle Jaune by myself," finished Dew, "He's just so... vigorous. And with a nice size, too. But I'd get too sore if I had him to myself. I saw stars before I knocked out, and he still seemed like he was able to keep going! I'm wondering how you lasted so long with him alone Pyrrha. Didn't he say that when he takes the Dragon Seed, he's in heat for 24 hours?"
"I admit, that was hard," coughed Pyrrha as she ducked under Ruby's dropkick, "I'd say that the Mate Mark helped out a bit, along with how eager I was to finally sleep with him. I almost went unconscious while he was still thrusting and barely managed to hang on before he called it a night. He was still inside me when we went to sleep, though. When we woke up, we were going at it again. Looking back, I'm glad we had a few extra days to rest. I was limping for a whole day while he went into a healing coma."
"Too bad we can't use it as an aphrodisiac," commented Yang before adding a teasing tone, "Then we'd force feed him it and let him go crazy on all six of us. Be a nice workout and stress relief."
"There are other ways to do that without putting him into a healing coma," said Blake dryly.
"True enough. Weiss, we need your Lien to buy some special items!" yelled Yang.
"Don't spend my money on frivolous things!" shouted Weiss.
"You'd call the love fest of a lifetime frivolous?" Yang said, aghast. She shared a looked with Pyrrha and Blake, both of whom blushed as they all began to imagine the erotic scene of Jaune making love to his entire harem, with their naked bodies shining due to being covered in aphrodisiac oil.
Yang absently licked her lips while Pyrrha covered her chest to calm her beating heart and Blake's nose began to drip blood again.
"You should really get that nose looked at, Blake," Octavia suggested.
"Oh, brother." Ruby said with a laugh before adding, "We should probably get ready to go, we don't want to be late to our spa appointment."
The girls all nodded and headed towards the showers. While doing so, Yang observed her fellow future sister-wives before noting Dew spotting a Mate Mark on her chest.
"Welcome to the club!" cheered Yang as she came from behind and cupped Dew's breast, causing her to squeak out in surprise from the sudden contact.
"Yang! Stop doing that!" admonished Ruby.
"Aw c'mon sis! I'm just welcoming the newest member! Dangit, I need to get it too, now," proclaimed Yang, "I call next!"
"Jaune! Welcome back," greeted Junior as he mixed up drinks for both Ren and Jaune.
"Junior, what you got for me?" asked Jaune as he sat on the stool with Ren next to him.
"Take a sip first," replied Junior as he poured out a drink for the both of them, "It's non-alcoholic. Testing out this cocktail I recently found. It's called Cinderella, from what I know."
"Not bad," nodded Jaune after he took a sip, "So what did you need to speak to me about?"
"Well... you know how Atlas had a prison break?" started Junior.
"Yeah, Adam escaped along with a bunch of others. Saw him and Mercury back at Akai Chirrupa," said Jaune darkly.
"They weren't the only ones. Two others escaped, but they chose to defect from Cinder's old faction. You're quite familiar with them. They're right in the other ro-"
"Dragon boy!" called out Roman as he entered into the bar and sat right next to Jaune, "Good to see you're still swinging!"
"Dammit Roman, I told you to wait," growled Junior.
"No need. I'll introduce myself, thank you very much," grinned Roman.
Ren and Jaune stiffened up a bit at seeing Roman before looking to Ren's right to see Neo sitting there with a bowl of Neapolitan ice cream. She saw them looking and gave a sultry grin before licking the ice cream off her spoon in a sexual manner.
"Stop trying to hit on our boyfriend!" growled the Malachite twins as they appeared and inserted themselves between Ren and Neo.
"This better have a good explanation, Junior," said Jaune as he turned to Junior with raised eyebrows and a small glare.
"I'll explain it," said Roman, interrupting Junior's attempt to talk and appease Jaune, "Basically, I've got some information about a few Blood Fang bases as well as their plans. I come in peace to work with you in exchange for protection. If it helps, I was the one who rescued all those Atlas soldiers and wardens before they blew up the prison."
"You think it's enough to make me ignore the fact that you helped Cinder almost kill my mate?" growled Jaune, his eyes turning into slits.
"Hey, I was being threatened to work for them," said Roman as he waved his hand defensively, "They came to me, not the other way around. They threatened to kill me and Neo if I didn't cooperate. Surely my other job would also persuade you to see that I can help."
"I'll take over from here," said Junior quickly, "One of your stepfathers, Ghira Belladonna, contacted me, asking for some help. He needed someone to sneak in and help protect Sienna Khan."
"Khan? Wasn't she the leader the of the White Fang before Adam took over?" asked Ren, "Isn't she dead?"
"No, she's still alive," answered Junior, "That footage that the news broadcasted is edited a little. I cut off the footage right after Adam started bragging. Neo and Roman were actually there to protect Sienna. When Adam stabbed her, Neo used her illusion semblance to protect Sienna while still making it look like Adam killed her in the video. Right now, she's at Kuo Kuana along with someone name Bal Bloo with the rest of the Belladonna family."
"We know Bal," added Jaune, "He was with us when... when Wong was killed."
A heavy silence fell upon them all for a bit before Jaune lifted his cup to the air. The others recognized the gesture and did the same before Jaune finished off his drink. At this, Junior started the conversation once more.
"Jaune... I know I haven't been honest and didn't tell you as soon as Roman and Neo contacted me, but-"
"No need. I'm not exactly pleased at seeing them, but I trust you. If you think they can help out, then I'm for it. Just don't let it be in vain," interrupted Jaune.
"Thank you!" bowed Junior, appreciating Jaune's trust in him.
"Well, glad that's out of the way," mused Roman as he ordered another drink, "Now, about my pay-"
"I'll deal with that," glared Junior, "You're under my jurisdiction. We can discuss that later, though. I've got other business to discuss with Jaune."
"Good, with that, we have business with Ren," said Melanie as she hooked Ren's left arm as Militia took the right, "Don't expect us to be back until tomorrow."
"Wait, what?" said Ren stupidly before being dragged away, "Girls, I'm tired! Can't I rest?"
"Nope. You've had enough rest. Now it's our turn," replied Melanie.
"Don't worry, we have something that'll get you up easily if you tire," added Militia, "Nora told us how you managed to handle her. I think you'll do just fine."
"Can't we talk about this?" pleaded Ren.
"We've been waiting patiently for a year," said both twins, "That's long enough."
"Make sure to use protection!" shouted Junior as the three left, "I don't want to be a grand uncle yet!"
"I can't tell whether to pity the boy or not," said Roman lightheartedly.
Neo pouted before sizing up Jaune before trying to sit closer.
"Not interested," deadpanned Jaune, "Junior what else you need to tell me?"
"Oh just some investments..."
Jaune spent the rest of the day with Junior going over their stocks and possible future plans.
Yaa another chapter through. Now on a side note, NO I did not get the Black Panther thing from the movie. Ghira is based off of the panther from the Jungle Book, and so I molded it from there. I had this written out before the Black Panther movie even came out.
Speaking of movies, finally watched the Black Panther and Infinity War. Not gonna say anything because spoilers. Will say they were good to watch.
Yes, there is a new chapter for the special scenarios for this story involving all of NDGO. Again, didn't write it in this story for reasons, etc. Damn its been months since I last wrote a new 'special scenario' scene. Enjoy.
Just a friendly reminder, I have a page! Just search azndrgn. otherwise (Pat reon) . coom/ azndrgn, removing the obvious o, (), and spaces. Come donate if you're feeling generous. Otherwise, enjoy the story. Also want to thank those that did donate!
Also got a challenge fic on my profile, go check it out if you're interested!
Also, very tempted to start writing a My Hero Academia fanfic. Been reading through quite a few, too, and got three different ideas for it.
And finally, totally bummed/hyped for KH3! Saw the newest trailer, excited for it! And yet bummed because they pushed it back to 2019 instead of their promised 2018.
