Sometime after Sienna signed the Peace Treaty
Jacques lay in bed, his arms over his head as he looked at the ceiling. In the walls in his prison cell were markers determining how many days it's been since he was arrested. He thought for sure Ironwood or someone else would bail him out. Unfortunately, he hasn't heard anything at all. Here he was, in a prison filled with countless rogues in Mushroom City. He wondered why they didn't take him to the Atlesian Prison, but then he remembered what that infernal thief told the prison warden.
"We talked it over, and we thought it'd be better if he were to remain here where no one knows about him. If he was in prisoned in Atlas, he would be busted out easily by colleagues." Anthony's voice echoed.
"Good enough for us! Come along, Mister Schnee."
"Rrrgh! You'll be hearing from my lawyers!"
Jacques growled. He still wasn't out and about. Apparently his best lawyers couldn't get their BS past these particular wardens. "Damn that Anthony Halyard!" He cursed his name for about the millionth time already.
Here he was, rotting away in some prison cell in Mushroom City where nobody knew about him or nothing. Not even these good for nothing rapscallions knew nothing of him or had the audacity to even care. He could still hear those words from the judge.
"We find the defendant… guilty."
"Very well. Jacques Schnee, you are to serve your sentence 30 Years to life with no chance of probation."
"WHAT?!"
"Take him away. Court adjourned."
"Tch… those good for nothing…" Jacques growled when he heard his cell door open up.
"Lunch time. Get your butt into the cafeteria."
"Hmph. Fine." He said as he got up and walked off, giving the warden a glare and walked off while the warden looked into his cell and saw the markings on them.
"Hmm…" He rubbed his chin in thought and then smirked, pulling out his walkie talkie. "Hey Janet, could you be a dear and get some paint buckets?"
"What for?"
"Oh, do a little sprucing up in a particular cell."
Jacques walked into the cafeteria, grumbling to himself as he was offered mashed potatoes and gravy, with sloppy joes on the side. "Hmph! You dare serve this filth to a rich man like me? I demand something far more appetizing."
"Oh, I am so sorry, your highness. Let me just get you a London broiled steak filled with lots of shrimp and a cocktail for your troubles."
"That's more like it."
"Oh wait, I just remembered… we don't have that." The server smirked.
"Rrrgh, do you know who you're talking to! I am Jacques Schnee, the rightful owner of the Schnee Dust Company!"
"Uh-huh, and I'm Princess Peach." She rolled her eyes. "Keep movin'. You're holding up the line."
"Hey, what's the hold up!"
"Can't you see we're hungry!"
"Move it, Karen! No one needs to know about your personal problems!"
"Rrrgh…" Jacques walked off in annoyance, sitting down on the hard cold bench as he started to eat. A Paratroopa, a Toad and a Leopard Faunus walked by him.
"Are you serious?" The Leopard Faunus asked.
"I heard it from the new prisoners that dropped in. Apparently there's a peace treaty that was signed by the High Leader of the White Fang." The Toad said. "What was her name again… Sierra something?"
"Dang, so I guess that means no more discrimination?" The Paratroopa wondered, unaware of Jacques eavesdropping on the situation.
"I wish." The Faunus sighed. "If only if it were that simple."
"Well, I heard that discrimination is frowned upon now, so… it's a start? I mean, hey, the guards let you in here with us." The Toad pointed out.
"Fair." He nodded.
"Tch… disgusting animals… they shouldn't have a peace treaty at all with the humans…" Jacques grumbled, loud enough for the trio to hear.
"Excuse me?" The faunus glared at him.
"You heard me." Jacques stood up and approached the trio. "You Faunus deserve nothing of the matter. You don't deserve freedom and you don't even deserve some damn treaty that worthless Sienna Kahn might have said. We humans are better than you, hell, these savages are better than you!"
The Faunus growled, his leopard ears lowering as the Toad and Paratroopa backed up. "Wait a minute, I know you…" He said. "You're that Jacques Schnee."
"Heh, finally, some recog-" The Faunus contracted his claws and slashed his face. "GAAAAAAAH!" He yelled, as scratches appeared on his face as some blood trickled down his face.
"That was for what you did to my little brother. And this…" He slashed him again, this time his mustache coming off.
"ACK!"
"-Is for what you said earlier."
"How… how dare you!" Jacques growled as the leopard grabbed a tray and smacked him in the head with it.
"Uh oh." A warden said and started chatting in the radio. "We got a Code 20."
"Again?"
"Yes!"
"Sigh… be right there."
The other prisoners all arose as they started beating the crap out of each other while the leopard started to inch closer to Jacques, cracking his knuckles as he tried to crawl away but the faunus grabbed a hold of him and started punching him repeatedly. "Rrrgh! You savage… you think you can kill me?!"
"I'm no killer… it's not in my nature. But I can make you wish you were dead!" He yelled, swiftly kicking him in the crotch as he started to pummel him, when eventually the wardens showed up and started to break everyone up. "Now that I know that you live here, Jacques, I'm going to make your life a living hell! Just like you did to my brother!"
"I don't even know what you're talking about!"
"DON'T BULLSHIT ME! You forced him to work hard labor in one of the Atlesian mines just because he looked at you in the grocery store!" He growled. "To make matters worse, there was an explosion that killed him! I'm going to make you pay… you took my bro's life from me and I didn't even say goodbye to him!"
"Hmph! At least I can rest well knowing that you good for nothing animals are where you truly belong."
"WHAT'D YOU SAY?!"
"Alright, to your cells. The both of you!" The warden said as the other wardens went to take the two away as Jacques would see that his room was completely spotless, free of any engravings. It also smelled like fresh paint.
"…Mmmph… you cannot be serious…" Jacques grumbled and then let out a chuckle. "It's no matter… at least I can live at peace knowing that my legacy will live on." He smirked.
Meanwhile, near the Schnee home…
"Thanks Whitley!" Velvet waved at him.
"Anytime, Velvet!" Whitley waved back, letting out a smile. "Hmm, some Faunus are actually nice compared to what father had taught me…" He said and then shivered. "Mmph… why do I feel as if father is nearby?" He asked, shivering as he walked back to his home, a worried look plastered on his face.
Back in prison…
"Schnee." A voice said as Jacques turned to see the warden. "We're running out of cells for the new prisoners, so you're going to have a cellmate from now on."
"Fine by me." He said as the warden opened up the door as Jacques would see that his new cell mater… was none other than the leopard faunus. His eyes widened in horror.
"Heh… well isn't this pleasant." He smirked.
"There must be some kind of mistake! Surely I can have a different cell mate!" He yelled.
"Nope. He was assigned to this cell. You boys behave!" He said as he walked off with a chuckle as Jacques looked back at him.
"You know… there was a game I always played with my brother. We would always tie… you want to know what that is?"
"N-no…" Jacques gulped.
"It's called Mercy. But, I'm changing the rules a bit. We continue until one of us passes out." He smirked devilishly as he approached the Schnee.
"No! Stay away! I don't want any part of this! GUARDS! GUUUUARDS! HEEEEEELP!" He yelled.
"COME HERE!"
"AAAAAAAH!" He screamed, as the Warden put on headphones over his ears while letting out a chuckle.
"Enjoy your new cellmate, you asssssss." He hissed, his snake-tongue flicking out of his mouth as he walked off, leaving Jacques alone to deal with his new cellmate.
He had it coming.
