"Ren, are you alright?" Jaune asked as they took a ship back to Beacon the next day. He looked at his best friend/right hand man in concern as Ren looked a bit frazzled when he came back the morning after the Malachite twins took him away.
"Yes, just fine," yawned Ren in reply, "Melanie and Miltia took me to go clubbing in a new dance club that just opened up. Flashing strobe lights, dance floors, drinks, etc. They then took the VIP seat where they proceeded to make out with me in front of everyone. Even did a three-way kiss somehow. They then dragged me to the dance floor to dance, only to eventually grinding up against me, pressing their breasts against both my chest and back. Some guys tried to cut in, but I... dealt with them."
"Wow, getting possessive now?" asked Jaune, getting the implication of a fight over the girls.
"You can thank the girls for that," sighed Ren, "I've never lost my temper like that. Though the girls apparently thought it was... hot. They decided to show their appreciation by making out with each other in front of Oum and everyone tight there on the dance floor before asking me if I wanted to continue this in private. I think everyone's mouth dropped to the floor and the men felt their pants tightening as I nodded as they dragged me to the private room upstairs, where my limits were tested."
Jaune nodded sagely before giving a trolling smirk, "Did you do the same thing you did with Octavia?"
Ren stiffly stopped before giving a very minute nod.
"Huh. Never thought you to be an exhibitionist," chuckled Jaune.
"I could say the same thing to you with Dew," argued Ren.
"Yeah, but I did it way up in the skies where nobody could see us. You were more daring than any of us, doing it right where everyone could have seen you."
"Not even going to reply to that. By the way, how are you faring with the Aura cuffs?" asked Ren, changing the subject.
"Much better now," answered Jaune, "I'm almost back at peak performance, which took longer than I expected. Who do you think should go next on our team?"
Ren contemplated an answer for a while before honestly answering him, "I think it should be Nora. I would like to go next, but she's the next powerhouse. Pyrrha is linked up with you already, getting a boost from the Mate Mark, but she's also someone important to you."
"I was actually thinking of risking two at once. Ozpin told me that he and Glynda would be willing to combine JNPR, RWBY, SSSN, and NDGO into one team. He wants us to mainly take on just one mission for the next semester."
"What mission could take us so long?" Ren asked, surprised.
Jaune sighed and looked at Ren with a serious expression and look in his eyes. "Retaking Mt. Glenn."
Back at Kuo Kauna, Ghira slowly woke up to find his beautiful sleeping wife hugging him. He sighed in relief as he hugged her closer to him, knowing she was his rock, his support through any rough times he had. As he breathed in her scent, he felt someone shift behind him and felt two very familiar "buns" press on his back, along with something that felt like arms and hand and when he glanced down, sure enough, the tanned arms were there, along with black stripes. He gulped as he slowly turned his head to see Sienna Khan snoozing right behind him, hugging him like a body pillow.
'Oh right, they decided to sleep here for the night,' remembered Ghira as he slowly tried to lift her hands away, but she just hugged tighter. Ghira started to sweat when he felt Kali close in and put her arms around him, just barely touching Sienna's.
"Breakfast is ready, it's good and hot," shouted Bal, walking right into the room without the slightest hesitation.
Ghira's heart froze as he saw Sienna and Kali both yawn and wake up, smacking their lips before looking at each other.
"Morning," greeted Kali, "I'm going to go for a shower. Didn't get to last night. Want to join me, Sienna?"
"I could use a shower and a good back scrub after all this," admitted Sienna, "You scrub mine, I scrub yours?"
"Sounds like a plan," smiled Kali, "I'll get the towels and clothes for us. You warm up the water."
As the two lovely women left, Ghira was left blinking as he tried to figure out what happened.
"You coming to eat breakfast?" asked Bal, "I'll save some for the ladies, but you have to be hungry after what happened."
"... Yeah, I'm coming," said Ghira as he got out of bed to grab some breakfast.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Sienna and Kali were laughing at the gobsmacked expression Ghira's face had. The two Faunus women stripped down as the water warmed up.
"My word, you don't look a day over twenty-five." Kali said as she admired the caramel beauty before her.
"I'm not the only one who kept my looks, you have a teenage daughter and are still quite the beauty," Sienna commented as they stepped into the shower.
"So, Ghira's birthday is coming soon. What do you say we give him a little birthday present at night, just between the three of us?" asked Kali as she scrubbed Sienna's back.
"I can't believe you're willing to even entertain with that thought," Sienna said with a blush as she leaned into Kali's massaging hands.
"The two of you had a little history together," shrugged Kali, "I'm not blind to the fact that you were attracted to him. And ever since you became High Leader of the White Fang, I'm betting that you've had a very long dry spell."
"Got that right," muttered Sienna, "But still, why are you so willing to share?"
"It's not only a gift for my husband, but also a way for you to relax. Plus, I would be lying if I didn't hold an interest in your body and how you look while you're in bed with us," smirked Kali before she reached from behind and groped her breast.
" #$%# !" yelled Sienna, her words cluttered before moaning at her ministrations.
"Mmm, yes, very interested," smiled Kali as she continued.
Jaune was laying in bed with Blake by his side, as it was her turn for the day. They were all sleeping in their old rooms. Jaune had just finished putting on some of the specialized training links on several of his friends. On his team, Ren had been given the Aura control cuffs while Nora had been given Aura reserve cuffs. Team SSSN was still keeping Sun with the Aura reserve cuff. On team NDGO, they voted to let Octavia get the resistance seals first.
Now what they surprisingly found out that anyone with the Mate Mark was actually unable to use any of the seals. Jaune had attempted it on Dew first, as team NDGO had first voted to let Dew get the Aura reserve seal. The cuffs went on when the Mate Mark on her chest suddenly glowed and blasted it apart. Jaune attempted it 3 more times before finally stopping. He conversed with his dragons and theorized that with the Mate Mark, it forbade the mate from being bound, even if it was for training.
"I guess it makes sense," nodded Fafnir, "We are very protective of our mates."
"Plus, they draw more power from it that the Dragon Marks,"added Aryz, "As long as they remain your lovers and mates, they'll grow stronger in time as you also get stronger."
"Though it begs the question, how is it the Dragon Marks and Jaune himself allows these restraints?" asked Andusk.
"For Jaune, it is our desire to see him grow stronger. We are linked with him, and witness how it's done. There was never a technique back in our clan," surmised Lung Wang, "The Dragon Mark's do help provide strength, but it is mostly a loyalty oath. One that can be broken at any time. It is also not heavily linked with us, either."
"So in the end for team RWBY, only Yang and Weiss will be able to have the techniques applied to them," sighed Jaune, both girls were debating whether or not to undergo the training and decided to sleep on it.
"Worried?" whispered Blake from his side, looking up to him.
"A little, yeah," nodded Jaune, "What if I prevented you guys from becoming more powerful just because we rushed the Mate Mark? What if when the cuffs are applied, they interfere with the Mate Mark process?"
Blake sighed before reached up to caress her lover's cheek and replied "I can tell you, none of us have any regrets. Not one of us. We chose to become your mates ourselves. None of us were forced to. If anything we forced you. And I can tell you with confidence that Yang and Weiss would rather join us than take those cuffs. For Yang, it's only a matter of time. I know my partner well enough that she's almost ready. Weiss may take a while longer, but she's also the same boat."
"How did I get so lucky with all you girls?" smiled Jaune, "Beautiful, smart, kind, patient, compassionate, and understanding… you all have those in spades."
"It helps that you're the perfect gentlemen," smiled Blake as she gave him a light kiss to his lips, which turned to a full blown make out session.
"We should get some sleep," yawned Jaune as he took a peek at the clock, seeing it was already past midnight.
"Of course," replied Blake, but she had a naughty smile on as her hand reached downwards.
"Mf! Here? Now?" asked Jaune as he felt her hands touch below the belt, "You can't be serious? What if they hear us?"
"I'm not saying we should do it," answered Blake, "But just for tonight, I want to sleep with you inside me. Don't worry, I'm on the pill."
The two of them shifted themselves so Jaune was spooning Blake, wrapping his arms around her waist. Blake wriggled and shifted herself before gasping as it made its way in.
"Good night," moaned Blake as she turned her head to give him a kiss. Jaune replied with the same loving gesture before the two of them fell asleep in that position.
Jaune yawned as he woke up just to find himself in the same position as before he went to sleep, even with his member still sheathed inside of Blake. Slowly withdrawing from her, he heard a small schlurp sound. The sleeping Blake immediately tried to use her hands to put it back in, but Jaune managed to slip away. She curled up in the blanket after fruitlessly trying to find what she wanted.
Jaune had gotten up at six once more even though they were on break to train. As he managed to put on his exercise pants and shirt, a voice whispered out.
"So, how was sleeping with your manhood inside Blake?"
Jaune looked to see Yang, minus her cybernetic arm.
"How long have you been awake?" asked Jaune.
"Long enough to see you move and hear that noise," grinned Yang lecherously, "Which I'm quite familiar with, as it's almost the same sound when you pull out of me."
"Fair enough. What are you doing up so early?" He asked her.
"Dunno. Just woke up and couldn't fall back asleep."
Jaune gave her a slight glare, to which Yang sighed, "My arm acted up again in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep afterward."
Jaune's gaze turned soft as he asked, "Didn't they fix it?"
"They did, but every now and then the pain just spikes through. The doctors tell me I'm imagining it, that it's phantom pain. Dad told me about a few Huntsmen that had similar injuries and that it goes away in time, but when I asked how long, he admitted it took a year or so," Yang told her lover before letting out a yawn, "I don't think I can head back to sleep. You're going out to train, right? Mind if I join you?"
Yang jumped off her bed, quickly taking her right arm off the bed table and put it on to her stump. There was a slight hiss and wince as Yang moved her right fingers to get the sensation back online. She grabbed her clothes and swiftly changed out of her pajamas without hesitation, flashing Jaune her nude body. Jaune slightly blushed but shook himself out of it as Yang finished putting those tight exercise short shorts and a yellow tank top that allowed a generous view of her deep cleavage and only went midriff but clung tightly to her skin.
"C'mon, I got some new moves I wanna try out," said Yang as she pulled him out of the room, but not before Jaune grabbed his exercise bag.
The duo went to the newly constructed gym to begin their workout, going for a light run first before hitting the weights. Jaune focused more on his core and lower body strength while Yang focused on her upper body. Part of being top heavy was that she needed to make sure her chest muscles were strong enough so her beautiful breasts wouldn't sag. After that, the two of them went to the arena, which was luckily located close to the gym, for a light spar, with the definition of light being that Yang punched the ground so hard that it formed craters as Jaune dodged her attacks. The match ended when Jaune caught Yang's arm in mid-swing and kicked, managed to land a hit to Yang's midriff. It stunned her for a few seconds, allowing Jaune used the recoil to swing up and trap Yang's neck between his legs. With the momentum, he spun and took Yang off her feet before completing his move and hurling Yang into the ground. He quickly pounced on her, landing on her midriff before sending a fist to Yang's face, stopping before contact.
"That's game," smiled Jaune as Yang huffed and pouted.
She looked down and grinned before replying, "Why if you wanted me to give you another titty fuck, you could've just asked. No need force yourself on me and sit on me like that."
Jaune blushed at Yang's bluntness and actions as she raised her hands to cup her breasts, forcing him to shift back a bit as a reaction.
'Now!' thought Yang as the weight had shifted from her stomach to her waist, allowing her to bend her body upwards and fired a right hook onto Jaune's face. Jaune went flying, but he managed to tumble on the ground and recover just in time for Yang to attack once more, spinning in the air to kick him in the face. Jaune winced as he put both hands up to guard, feeling the impact but standing firm before pushing it off. Yang used the push off to spin the other way and try to land a backhand, but Jaune had jumped back a little.
"What's wrong? Don't you like being the dominant one? You sure acted like it in bed," teased Yang as she went on the offensive, throwing punches at fast speeds. Jaune parried each one, guiding them away from his body. Yang tried a different tactic and spun, trying to land a high roundhouse kick. Jaune quickly did the same thing, only a bit later but faster and in the same direction as Yang's kick. His foot was on top of hers at the top of the arc and guided it down right on top of a stone pillar, trapping her leg.
"What the?" said a shocked Yang, knowing that pillar hadn't been there before, "You made a pillar! Cheater!"
"It's part of my own abilities," huffed Jaune, "Plus, you suckered punch me after you clearly lost."
Yang pouted and attempted to escape, but Jaune's leg was firmly on hers. Yang stopped attempting to escape and attacked with her fists instead. Jaune blocked them easily and countered, but Yang managed to still dodge. Yang was about to jump, bending her knees when Jaune decided to shift the tile right under her left foot while suddenly lowering the pillar back down, sending her right foot down.
Yang's eyes opened wide in shock as she felt her balance slip and fell forward. Reacting quickly, her hands shot out to latch on whatever she could grab to keep herself from falling on her face or breasts, whichever came first. Her hands caught onto Jaune's legs and steadied herself, but her face ended up right in front of Jaune's groin.
"Wow Yang, I didn't know you were so eager," smirked Jaune, getting his revenge back, "You could've just asked for it."
Yang blushed crimson at this before returning fire by actually nuzzling her face at his groin, "I can do it right here and now if you want. Nobody's up yet, and I haven't had breakfast yet."
The two of them stared off at each other before finally cracking up.
"So, wanna go another round?" asked Yang.
"Let's try something different," replied Jaune as he dug into his bag and grabbed granola bar for them to snack on, "Junior told me he added something interesting in this arena."
He went to the control panel and began to go through it, seeing different programs before choosing one. At once, several mechanical floating spheres floated in the air.
"Junior had some drones programmed in with some of the latest technology. They shoot lasers but at low intensity so it doesn't really hurt, just impacts on you. Our objective is to dodge and neutralize."
"So we just punch it into pieces?" asked Yang as she pounded her fists together.
"That's the other part. We're not allowed to destroy them. Instead, we have to tap them at 3 random weak points on the sphere that are randomly generated to shut them down. We train in dodging, observing, and controlling out strengths so we don't just flat out destroy them."
"Sounds like a good challenge," grinned Yang, "Together or separate?"
"Let's try it together first," said Jaune as he started the countdown. The two of them got to the center of the arena to wait. As the countdown finished, the sphere droids began to move at random and fire.
"Sheesh, that was intense," yawned Yang as they made their way to the gym showers. It was roughly 9 in the morning by the time they had finished their workout, and both were quite hungry.
"It was still good training," replied Jaune, "Even my dragons told me they liked it."
Indeed, the one who liked it the most was Othim, for he kept yelling dodge every time the droids fired.
As they got to the showers, Jaune went to a stall, expecting Yang to go to another. The showers were mixed gender to save room, not to mention that since they were training to be Huntsmen and Huntresses they needed to get used to the other gender changing in front of each other. Privacy was respected, but sometimes in the battlefield, there was no choice. Of course, there were a few private stalls for some to use if they felt uncomfortable with others. Lastly, the students could just decide to head back to their dorms to take a shower.
Jaune didn't really care and was about to enter a public one when Yang suddenly grabbed him and pulled him into a private one with her.
"We can save some time and water if we do shower it together. Plus I could use someone to scrub my back and hair. And if you want, my front too. And I could use these babies to wash your body." Yang whispered as she pressed her body against him, holding up her wonderful breasts.
Jaune smiled and whispered back "I don't mind if you don't, I could use mine to make sure to scrub those hard to scrub places deep within."
Yang replied by fervently making out with Jaune as they began to strip. The shower heads were turned on as Yang jumped up and wrapped her legs around Jaune's waist. She could feel the love between them and made a choice.
"Hmm, I wonder where they are?" asked Ruby as she nibbled on her breakfast cookie.
The four teams minus Jaune and Yang were eating breakfast, though the time was approaching 10.
"Jaune is most likely training, though he should be finished," stated Ren.
"Yang's combat arm wasn't in the room when we woke up," said Blake, "Maybe she went out to train with Jaune?"
"Yang never wakes up that early," frowned Ruby, "Not unless her arm acts up."
"It still acts up?" asked Sun.
"Sometimes, especially if it's cold," replied Ruby.
"I thought the surgery was successful," said Pyrrha, worried.
"It was, but the doctors say that she would feel discomfort still, but it would all be psychosomatic," explained Weiss.
"Psycho whatzit?" asked Nora, along with Ruby and Sun looking confused.
"It means related to the mind," piped Neptune.
"I know a person who lost a limb," sighed Sage, "Yang might still be experiencing phantom pains. There's nothing wrong, but her mind says otherwise. He says that he can feel his leg even though it's not there. It's just something she has to get used to."
Just then, Jaune and Yang entered the cafeteria together in their usual clothes with Yang having the biggest grin in her life.
"What's got you so chipper?" asked Weiss as they approached.
"Oh, just made one of the biggest decisions in my life that I won't regret," smiled Yang, "Also, you're the last one now, Weiss"
Weiss took a second to register that before shouting "WHAT!?"
The other girls immediately understood and congratulated Yang.
"Err, I'm still lost," said Scarlet the rest of the team, along with Nebula, Gwen, and Octavia, agreed.
"I'll show you," grinned Yang as she took off her coat and pulled down her crop top down a little.
"Whoa!" exclaimed Sun as he looked away as fast as possible, along with the other boys. Neptune would've gazed if Sun didn't know better and forced him to turn too.
"Relax, boys, I'm not flashing you," giggled Yang, "Though it'll be 50,000 Lien if you wanna see them, and that's if I feel like it, which would most likely be never."
The males turned back around just to see a dragon's head on the top of her left breast.
"Isn't that the same as Pyrrha's?" asked Sage, glancing at hers. Pretty much everyone knew about her mark as everyone witnessed Jaune giving her the mark on the television, along with the fact her armor didn't exactly cover all of it up.
"It's a Mate Mark," answered Ren, "Basically Yang has chosen to be with Jaune, which could be the equivalent of marriage."
"Huh. I noticed that mark on Dew but didn't know what it meant," thought Nebula out loud, "I thought she got a tattoo while we weren't looking. I know it wasn't there during our little party."
"I got it afterwards," confessed Dew, "I didn't feel like waiting any longer. Especially what's been happening lately."
"Am I the only one who doesn't have it?" moaned Weiss before pointing to Blake, Yang, and Dew, "I mean, why rush it? I know Ruby and Pyrrha didn't have much of a choice, but what about you guys?"
"Like I said, I wanted it sooner," said Dew.
"Same," nodded Blake.
"I decided I didn't want to live without him," said Yang, "I was scared that I might do a runner like my mom, but I'm not only Raven's daughter, but I'm also Summer's daughter in all but blood. She, along with dad, raised me and taught me everything I am. I won't do what Raven did, and I never will."
"Great, no pressure on me," sighed Weiss.
"Don't worry," smiled Jaune as he stood up to give her a light massage on the shoulders, "I would never force it on you. Just go on your own pace, to whatever you feel comfortable."
"Aww, thanks," said Weiss with a small smile as she placed her hands over his, "But I doubt it'll last long before I cave in. I have desires, too, Especially with our jobs, I don't want them left unfulfilled."
"So, what's the plan today?" cheered Ruby, "I vote we go somewhere fun!"
"The beach wouldn't be too bad," suggested Pyrrha.
"We can go to on an exotic luxury beach vacation at Weiss's island!" cheered Ruby.
"Ruby! I don't own an island, nor is there anything exotic," hissed Weiss.
The others turned to look at her with a slight deadpan stare.
"Well, I don't own one," said Weiss meekly, "It's a family island. And it's not exotic... kind of... maybe. I can't deny that it has good beds, though. And drinks... and food... and servants..."
"All vote that we go to that island?" asked Octavia, "Raise your hands."
Nearly everyone did, even Neptune.
"Where's it located?" asked Sun.
"On the very east side of Sanus, directly east of Vale, on the islands," said Weiss, "Father wanted to buy one of the Vytal islands, but they were all declared international landmarks. He was mad, but our other island is quite good."
"It's near the equator, so that means it's going to be warm. And the island is bound to have some wicked waves, so that means surfs up!" cheered Sun while Weiss confirmed the island did have waves.
"I want all the fish," chirped Blake, imagining a seafood buffet.
"Oh fine, I'll call my father to tell him we'll be using the island for our vacation," sighed Weiss, even though she was smiling.
"This calls for a shopping trip!" declared Yang.
"I don't think we'll need new swimsuits," said Blake.
"Errr, I might need one," said an embarrassed Ruby, "I had to get a new set of underwear because my old ones didn't fit me anymore. I grew a cup size."
Weiss glanced at Ruby's chest and saw that they did seem bigger than last year. She looked down at her own budding size and cried, hoping that it would kick in any day soon. Maybe she should drink more milk, as Ruby had still been doing.
"Oh yeah, I heard that since we're all going to be in the same group, we're going to need a different name," said Sun, "So what's our team name?"
"I doubt all of our initials would work," added Gwen.
"Maybe a letter from each team leader?" suggested Ren.
"How about... Team Beacon?" suggested Pyrrha.
"Nah, sounds like we're all from Beacon, even if we did transfer in," said Nebula.
"We should try to put all of our names in together!" cheered Nora, "JNPRSSSNRWBYNDGO!"
Nora had attempted to say it all in one breath, which came out garbled.
"How about... Team Dragon?" suggested Jaune.
"Hmm, dragon. Not bad, I guess," nodded Scarlet, "The majority of us are linked up to that legend."
"All in favor?" asked Octavia.
"AYE!"
"And obviously team leader is going to be Jaune," cheered Nora. Sun, Ruby, and Nebula quickly agreed to that.
"All right, but I'm making you three vice-captains," said Jaune, pointing to the other three leaders, "First mission, though! Enjoy our vacation!"
"Yeah!"
Natia was looking outside the cave for any signs of trouble.
"Nothing yet," she grumbled to herself. As soon as she woke up, Ezekial had already disappeared from sight. He left a note saying that because he had escorted her to the cave and stayed the night to help her bandage her wounds, his job was done.
"Jerk!" shouted Natia to the empty cave.
She slowly scanned the horizon when she heard the flap of wings above her. She looked up to see a crow and a raven circling around her before descending down towards her. The two birds suddenly shapeshifted to reveal Qrow and Raven.
"Raven!" shouted Natia in glee, "I knew you'd find me!" She quickly went to hug Raven and stopped when she saw Qrow. "You!"
"Huh, so you're the spring maiden," noted Qrow.
"Traitor! How dare you-"
"Enough," commanded Raven, "Natia, where is Vernal? We need to gather the tribe."
"She's in Anima, as you ordered, to help with the expansion."
"Then I'll head to Anima," said Raven.
"Yeah, with Vernal we can kick those guys' asses!" cheered Natia.
"No Natia, I said I, as in me only," corrected Raven, "You need to go with Qrow into hiding. Salem is actively searching for all Maidens now, and we have intel that says they've got the Fall Maiden. Summer is missing still, and I think she's been taken. That's two Maiden taken by Salem and we can't afford a third one falling to her hands."
"But I can help!" protested Natia, "I escaped, didn't I?"
"Yeah, with the help of a stranger," stated Qrow while taking a sip of his drink.
Natia glared at Qrow, unable to deny it. Though it was true, it didn't mean she had to like it.
"How'd you know?"
"Duncan told us before he died. Gave me the middle finger too."
"Qrow, you'll take Natia to Ozpin, to where it'll be safe. I'll go contact Vernal and gather the tribe." Raven said.
Natia was about to complain when she received a chop to the neck from Qrow and a punch to the stomach by Raven. Surprised and unprepared, she fell unconscious to the twin's attack. Qrow quickly wrapped her up while Raven cut open a portal that would lead back to Beacon.
"This is where we part ways brother," said Raven as she turned to leave, "Tell Tai and Yang... that I'm sorry. And that I won't be able to see them for awhile."
"You don't have to do this," said Qrow as he lifted Natia in a fireman's carry, "Jaune does have Junior and his connections."
"Those connections don't extend to the more desolated spots," replied Raven, "Plus, my people need their leader. To exact revenge onto Salem's forces. A small guerrilla strike team will be able to cripple Salem's forces for the long run."
"Fine. Long as you don't get yourself killed," sighed Qrow, knowing he wouldn't be able to convince his sister off her chosen path, "Just... try to avoid raiding some innocent villages."
"No problem," grinned Raven, "We'll be more selective of our targets. Choosing mainly the Blood Fangs or this new Cult of Drac."
Raven transformed herself back to a raven and flew off while Qrow walked through the portal, knowing he'd have to tell the others what happened.
"So she left?" asked Ozpin.
"Yeah," sighed Qrow, "She's set on doing this. You know how stubborn she is. Sometimes she's just like me."
Natia, of course, was upset and tried to escape, but a quick word from Ozpin and handcuffs that blocked off her Aura, she became more cooperative. She was quickly shipped to where Ales and Clodwal were, who would help her readjust.
"So what do we do now?" asked Goodwitch as she managed some paperwork. She was starting to find out why Ozpin's skill had rusted because of the overwhelming amount of paperwork that was coming in. Luckily, she was smart and hired two secretaries to help out with the paperwork.
"Nothing we can do. Raven has made her choice to become a guerrilla force specifically against Salem. This helps us as her tribe was neutrally chaotic."
"I just gotta tell my niece about this now," grumbled Qrow.
"You're going have to wait about a week then," said Goodwitch, "She left with her friends, who've dubbed themselves Team Dragon on a trip to one of the Schnee islands for a vacation."
"Is that alright, with what's happening now?" winced Qrow.
"It may be their only chance to relax," remarked Ozpin, "They're being dragged into a war our generation failed to prevent. The most we can do is to lower the burden before they have to take the mantle."
"Fine, but now I'm more depressed I didn't get to go and 'babysit' them," grumbled Qrow, "All those bar drinks that are sure to be there."
"Speaking of drinks, I'm thinking of heading down to Junior's for some," yawned Goodwitch, "I could use one, and I hear that he knows some good ones. Care to join me?"
"You asking me out on a date?" leered Qrow with a grin.
"Not on your life," scolded Goodwitch.
"I will tell the others of what has happened," sighed Ozpin, "Then perhaps spend some more time with my apprentice."
"Still in shock you have one after all these years," motioned Qrow, "Heck, Ruby kinda counts as mine since I taught her how to use the scythe."
Glynda shrugged and left the office to head to Vale for a drink. A girl deserved a night out every now and then, right?
Ghira yawned as he finalized some paperwork. The day had truly been a weird one. Besides getting used to Kali and Sienna talking to each other more for the past few days, Bal had left for Mistral to meet up with Hephaestus. And perhaps now, it was time for the Faunus of Menagerie to take a more active stance against Adam's Blood Fang. Being an old friend, Hephaestus could probably whip up some weapons for those who wanted to join in the fight.
The biggest surprise, though was that he actually received a missive from Jacques Schnee himself. He had requested for some of his people from the company to be allowed to stay in Menagerie. He heard rumors of a possible Dust mine at the island, and wanted to see if it could be excavated. In exchange for providing housing, they would construct a smaller version of the CCT in Menagerie, allowing the Faunus to have better multimedia communications without the usual delay or lag, which was something huge for the Faunus, and the fact Jacques 'Faunus Hater' Schnee was willing to fund for it was even bigger. The location of where to build it was still undecided, but the preliminary plans was to build it either at the highest point of the island or at the mayor's manor, aka his home.
Frankly, he didn't mind as the manor did need repairs after the fight. Perhaps having an office at the top of the tower like the Headmasters would be nice, and his home could be relocated closer to his people, so it didn't stand out.
"Must be because of Jaune that the Schnee is willing to do this," muttered Ghira as he denied a request asking for a bigger budget for hair dyes. Just because some customers had hairy appendages that could cost extra for the dye didn't mean it was important. They chose to build a hair salon in Menagerie, where the population was basically pure Faunus!
Stretching and cracking his neck, he left his study and decided to take a warm shower before heading to bed early. Humming to himself, he passed by Sienna and Kali, who seemed to be in a deep conversation about their favorite book. Quickly deciding to ignore them, he went into the shower.
Both Sienna and Kali noticed this and looked at each other.
"Are you sure about this?" asked Sienna once more.
"Oh stop asking," giggled Kali, "My answer still hasn't changed. Plus, you won't do anything to steal my big panther after this, right?" The usually kind face of Kali suddenly shifted from her kind face to a scary face that freaked Sienna out. She felt goosebumps erupting all over her body.
'Shit, I forgot how scary that face is!' thought Sienna, who would rather fight a Grimm Goliath without any weapons or clothes than see that face. "Of course!" Sienna said, with a bit of a cold sweat.
"Good! Then I see no problem!" chirped Kali as her face shifted back to her usual face, as if nothing had happened.
'Dammit! She's not a fighter, but she somehow scares me!' thought Sienna, 'How!?'
"Because I can," smirked Kali, as if reading her mind. Sienna would deny jumping in fright.
Ghira soon walked towards his bed, eyes blurry as he got into it. He noticed a bump on the bed and thought it was his wife and immediately hugged her. When he did so, he noticed something wrong. The scent was off, his hand didn't grip the waist as usual, and the ears felt different. He opened his eyes widely when he finally noticed he had been hugging Sienna instead.
"Sorry!" exclaimed Ghira, trying to get up when he felt someone behind him push him down. In a blur, he found himself on his back with Kali and Sienna on his chest, both giving him lustful looks.
"Shhhh," hushed Kali as Ghira tried to babble an explanation, "These past few days has taken quite a toll on you. You need to relieve that stress that's built up. Think of this as a birthday present as well as a thank you gift. For tonight, I'll let you taste another woman, as long as I get my usual share."
"You'd also be doing me a favor," smirked Sienna, "I've gone too long without a good fucking, being the High Leader."
"You sure about this?" Ghira asked his wife, making sure it was remotely alright.
"It was my/her idea," announced Kali and Sienna simultaneously.
"You may regret it," growled Ghira as he decided to allow his control go. Though Kali was mainly the dominant one, she did allow Ghira to control what they did in bed from time to time. And Ghira wasn't going to let them walk away from the bed that night until they were all completely satisfied.
"Woot! Exotic beach vacation!" cheered Ruby and Nora as they all descended from the Schnee private jet.
"Weiss, you understated just how cool this island was," stated Sun as he looked out at the beach to see beautiful waves lapping at the shore.
"The fish is going to be wonderful," Blake said excitedly.
"Hmm, the beach. Some potential training could be done here," stated Lung Wang.
'Of course, you think of training,' sighed Jaune, but agreed to do it. It wouldn't do to stop training and get lazy, not with the threats still out there.
"Let's put our luggage away first," suggest Pyrrha, "Then we can have fun."
"Last one into the water a rotten egg!" shouted Nora as she rushed to the beach manor to claim a room for herself and Ren, and probably Octavia. Miltia and Melanie had managed to find some time to come, and would probably also join them in the same room.
"Let's go!" cheered Ruby, using her Semblance to speed past Nora to claim a room for herself.
"I call top bunk!" shouted Sun in glee as he dashed forward too.
"Dammit Sun, take your own luggage!" shouted Sage as he was left carrying it for him.
"C'mon girls, we can't let them take the good spots!" ordered Nebula as she also began to run.
"Let's go!" shouted Jaune as they all charged towards the dorms. Soon enough, the beds were claimed and were all changing their clothes when Yang suggested out of nowhere they just go to the beach in the nude. The thought was contemplated before ultimately rejected as there were two single males in their party.
While in the manor, Weiss stopped at a room to stare at it. Ruby noticed her partner stop and asked: "You okay Weiss?"
"Yes, it's just that... this is Whitley's room," sighed Weiss as Ruby flinched at the mention of the name, "Just wondering what else he could have hidden here. My family hasn't been here since I was 14, but who knows what's in here. And how my... relative is doing now."
Weiss no longer considered Whitley to be her brother. Afterall, the stain he had left on the Schnee family had hurt not only her, but her precious partner, friends, and lover.
Speaking of which...
At Atlas Boot Camp
"Curse these plebeians," muttered Whitley as he scrubbed away in the bathroom. He never felt so humiliated in his life. Just because he told the truth didn't mean those imbeciles didn't need to take it out on him. What was worse that he was blamed for causing trouble and forced to do every menial labor they could pile on him. James Ironwood enforced each punishment, making sure there would be someone watching over him.
"Just you all wait! I'll work my way up this ridiculous chain of command until I'm the General! Then it will be you all that follow my orders!" cackled Whitley.
However, he forgot about the soldier monitoring him and shook his head in amusement as he added this latest report to the ever-growing pile of Whitley Schnee. The psychiatrist assigned to Whitley was admitting it would be very hard to break through Whitley, as he was extremely stubborn and unrepentant of what he had done. In fact, he was already plotting his revenge. If he kept this up, there would be no chance for rehabilitation at all.
Back at the Island
"So what should we do?" asked Yang as she spotted the other two.
"I say we go inside and raid it to make sure there isn't anything else that's hidden," suggested Blake.
"Of course you'd say that," sighed Weiss but without any real snap towards Blake, "But I agree. Let's make sure nothing else compromising is in there."
Getting the help of everybody else, they raided Whitley's room in the manor and depending on each person's view, didn't find anything except for a few adult magazines and some clothes that were too small for Whitley.
When Yang suggested destroying them all, including the furniture belonging to him, they eagerly carried it all outside.
"Pull!" shouted Ruby.
Sage threw a cabinet into the air as hard as he could, letting it fly through the air before it was blasted apart by Crescent Rose's sniper mode.
"Pull!"
They all decided to let Ruby do the most damage as she was the victim in all this. After it was all said and done, Ruby admitted that it felt very cathartic.
Soon enough, they were all in their swimsuits and playing on the beach. Even Neptune went into the water, albeit hesitantly. When they got tired of the water, they would play beach games, including limbo. Out of all the females, Weiss was the best at that, though she wasn't sure she was happy about that, as it did show that she had the smallest breast out of all of them. Yang kept making a show of her breasts bouncing up and down as she went down. Sometimes she would 'accidentally' hit the limbo stick with the underside of her breasts as she did her attempt. Unfortunately for Weiss, Ruby and some of the other girls encountered the same problem. For Weiss, it was as she won the battle but lost the war. She vowed up to increase her intake of milk and meat to make sure that her breasts would grow bigger. Winter had a decent size chest, so surely that meant that she would at least be able to grow to a similar size.
After that, they began to play other games while the servants that were living on the island began to cook up a feast with a variety of fishes. Jaune went into the ocean to swim with Pyrrha, Weiss, and Dew. Ruby and Yang were playing Frisbee with Zwei, enjoying the time together. Team SSSN was playing a tug of war against each other, where Sun started to cheat and make clones of himself. Ren and Nora were busy building a sand castle, along with NGO.
Miltia and Melanie decided to just lay out on the sand to tan themselves. They even took off their bathing suits to lay on the sand nude, so as not to have any tan lines. This distracted SSSN for a bit before they managed to look away and stay away from the twins. Blake decided to head towards the manor and relax, reading some other books besides Ninjas of Love, as well as be the first one on the table when the fishes were done. Needless to say, all the fish cooked that night was mostly consumed by Blake.
The next day most of them found themselves surfing or kayaking, enjoying the weather for a bit. In the afternoon, almost every boy that was dating at least one girl went their separate ways on the beach before completely stripping down to their birthday suits, letting their man see them in full glory. Though it was not about sex time, it did lead to the inevitable orgy for them all except for Nebula, Neptune, Sage, and Scarlet. It was through there that Blake learned another thing about her new Semblance if given enough time to focus.
As the days passed by, Neptune suddenly holed himself up in the library, looking up several articles.
"C'mon Neptune, we're here to have fun!" ordered Sun, trying to pull him away from the computer.
"Yeah, yeah, just a minute," waved Neptune, his eyes never leaving the holo-screen.
"What's so important that you're not having some fun?" asked Scarlet.
Sage was currently sparring against Jaune, swords only, so he wasn't part of the conversation.
"It's a new relic, I think," replied Neptune, "From your ancestor Sun."
"You mean another item for me?" asked Sun, "Cool."
"It's not, this time," said Neptune quickly, "I decided to look at the tome another way and found something that might've belonged to the monk that traveled with your ancestor. Something about a scroll? Not the Scrolls we use, but the old-time scrolls people wrote on. Not too sure what it can do, but it's worth looking into."
"Did you find out where?" asked Scarlet.
"That's the thing, I think it's already been found," replied Neptune, pointing at an old article with a photo, "This article states that 20 explorers, fully trained, went into some sort of temple. Only 4 of them made it out alive, and one of them is Sun's relative I think."
"Hey that's my great-uncle Hozhi!" exclaimed Sun, recognizing the photo.
"Yeah, well they found some ancient item and put it up for display," continued Neptune.
"So does that mean we have to try to buy it, ask for it, or like, steal it?" asked Scarlet.
"No, that's the other problem," sighed Neptune, "It was lost when the city it was on display went down. Though it might be lucky for us."
"How?" asked Sun.
"Because the last place it was known," declared Neptune as he pulled out the last article, "Was at Mt. Glenn. We find the museum, we might be able to recover it."
Next semester is coming yaa!
Reminder, I put up a poll for my next story, come to my profile to check it out and vote!
Also have a pat reon page, just look up azndrgn making fanfic! If your feeling generous, come support! Patrons get a little extra.
And lastly... I'm going to give this story a small hiatus, 3-4 months max. I promise I'll come back to this story, the muse isn't lost yet. Just ask theMischievousPuppyDog, I talk with him sometimes to bounce ideas. Though I feel like the quality of this story might have gone done a bit compared to my other stories. So instead of putting out another lackluster chapter, I'm going to use the time to look back, replan out what I have written, and complete the whole plotline if I can. Then carefully type it out, maybe make changes on some ideas I had.
The other stories will go on, though. Thanks for enjoying this chapter and my other stories, and I promise I'll update this story again in the future. Can't really say it's an Arc's promise, since Arc's don't got on their words, because in this story, Jaune isn't an Arc, lol. But I do promise to come back again!
