(Penny)
Penny enjoyed her walks around Vale, one of her rare moments of 'freedom'. She enjoyed these moments that let her feel like she was a normal girl, not a machine filled with nuts and bolts generating a soul. She was enjoying her current walk today but wished that Ironwood didn't have soldiers follow her around until they took her back. She wanted to sneak away and enjoy herself a bit more without her escort breathing down her neck every ten seconds. Luckily she remembered the two that were assigned to watch her weren't the brightest soldiers. She could easily get away if something were to distract the one watching her while the other used the bathroom. Maybe she could get them to argue over something when he gets back, that usually gets all their attention away from her and onto the topic.
"AAAAAAAH!"
"Get back here!"
"SUN GET OFF ME!"
"AAAAAAAAAH!"
She looked over to see a monkey faunus riding the back of a boy with blue hair and a red jacket. The Faunus seemed to be screaming like a little girl as she saw her friend Ruby chasing them along with her team, she saw another four she's never met before. She looked over to see that the soldier had pulled out his scroll and began recording the event taking place. Then a small crowd of people beginning to form around them. This was her chance to sneak away and enjoy herself more, she was a little upset she couldn't call for Ruby or else blow her opportunity to escape. She began to quickly walk away through the crowd making her escape.
After half an hour of sneaking, Penny had finally made it to her favorite place in Vale, the park. The park lets her see different people, animals but especially because she could act like herself and not worry about the soldiers or someone hounding her. She could look around at everything and study its appearances such as the flowers, trees, and animals. Even the small child falling asleep on the bench.
"Huh?" She looked over to see a blond little girl wearing a white dress with a blue ribbon. She could tell from her rubbing her eyes that she seemed to be tired. She looked around to see that there was no one around, she was confused. Shouldn't there have been a mother or father around?
She decided to walk over to check on the girl. She now stood in front of the child smiling.
"Hello, small child."
She waited for a reply but she just looked at her green eyes with those deep blue. Penny sat down next to her.
"Do you know where you mommy or daddy are?" She shook her head no. Penny scanned her face but found nothing in her records of who she was, not even a name. Maybe she was like her and wandered off looking around and ended up lost, but on accident unlike herself. She then felt something on her arm. She looked down to see she had leaned into her arm falling asleep. Her small chest raising up and down slowly as she slept. Penny felt funny as she looked at her sleeping on her arm. She ran a diagnosis on her system to see if anything was damaged or loose but everything was okay.
She then started to search up anything thing that was wrong until she came up with a wander.
"Adorable." She said as she began petting the blond on the head as she slept. She carefully picked her up and carried her out of the park in her arms.
(Sun and Neptune)
"Sun get the hell OFF!" He yelled once again, but this time tossing him off and into the street. He quickly got up and ran after his friend. They 'both' have been running for over an hour from teams RWBY and NPR. They never stopped running especially Neptune after Sun jumped onto him and wouldn't let go. Neptune learned as he tried pulling him off that either monkey faunus have a very strong grip or it was just Sun. But another thought was if he had seen Goodwitch but when he looked she wasn't there.
"Aaaah!" Sun screamed, again, as he dodged Pyrrha's spear. Then Neptune jumped as she pulled it back with her semblance trying to hit him as she did. She'd been doing that since she first found the two, they were lucky she hasn't decided to use the rifle mode on them yet.
"Sun if we live through this I am going to kill you!" He yelled at his blond friend but as he looked Sun was gone. He then looked to see him climbing up a fire escape leaving him.
"Dammit Sun!"
"Every man for himself dude, Ah!" Sun screamed as Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Pyrrha' jumped up and continued chasing him. He wasn't scared at the first three but the second he saw Pyrrha he ran like Nora when it's all you can eat pancakes. So that left Neptune with a raging Yang, a tired Ren, and a sleeping Nora that was riding on Ren's back mumbling something about clothes and a tiny baby.
"Stop and I'll have Nora only break one leg!" Yang yelled as her eyes turned blood red. Neptune just cried out running faster causing Yang to also speed up. It wasn't going to end pretty once she got her hands on him. Ren eventually stopped running and stood in place, he looked back to see Nora still sleeping.
He walked off deciding to wait for them to find Jaune instead of wasting time looking.
(Velvet and Coco)
"Man, how can some one so small get away so quickly," Coco questioned as she was rubbing her eyes under her glasses as they sat at a café. They had stopped looking a short while ago after running around most of the time looking for the kid. Velvet had her head down on the table, ears drooping as she was worried about what could happen to him being left alone in Vale for so long. He could have gotten hurt and it would be all her fault. She just kept her head down as Coco looked at her scroll. She saw that after less than an hour her blogs were blowing up from the one photo she took of the boy.
'I need more photos of him. He's the perfect model.' She thought to check the amount of comments and views in each blog.
"Coco."
'If one photo causes the biggest flood of viewers, then what would more do?'
"Coco."
"We need to find him."
"COCO!"
"Ah!"
The fashionista fell from her chair in surprise from the sudden shouting. She grabbed her glasses slipping them on before standing back up and sitting in her chair. She looked over seeing a blushing Velvet holding her hands over her mouth in shock. Other patrons were looking at her in surprise before slowly returning to their conversation or their drinks.
"Yes, Velvet?"
"I'm sorry." She quickly said before covering her mouth with her hands. Coco rolled her eyes, Velvet always got like this after yelling. The first time caught the whole team off guard because for being meek the girl's got a set of pipes on her.
"It's fine, what?" She rubbed her ears waiting for the ringing to stop.
"W-well I was going to ask if you had any ideas on where he would be." She said still embarrassed for shouting.
Coco shook her head as their order arrived. A small latte with a double shot of espresso and a slice of blueberry lemon cheesecake. For Velvet a small coffee and slice of carrot cake cheesecake.
"Let's just relax and enjoy our food. Then we can start looking again." Coco said taking a sip from her drink.
"Alright." Velvet said taking a small bite of cake.
(Glynda)
"I really need to buy shoes," Glynda mumbled as she sat in a booth at some Café. She tried keeping up but her heels were already killing her feet from walking around all day, the running didn't help that. She rubbed her foot waiting for her tea. But she just felt more worried the longer she can't find him. She was worried what would happen if she doesn't find him, but more so of what he's already been in.
"I should have kept my eyes on him and none of this would be happening." She stopped rubbing her foot and waited until they brought her drink.
"I'm a terrible auntie." As the words left her mouth her eyes shot open. She quickly looked around making sure no one heard her. Especially a student.
(Neptune)
Neptune was about to have a panic attack. He looked down from his position at a very angry Yang. She had finally caught him after trapping him at the docks. She used her babies to keep him from running anywhere else other than the shipping yard. So he decided to jump around on the containers then jumping back to the ground running around like a mouse in a maze.
He eventually lost her after repeating that for thirty minutes. He listened for the blond boxer waiting for gunshots or explosions, he heard none. He began to slowly sneak away until he was stopped by something suddenly falling on him. He looked back and all the color from his draining.
"Got you."
He was now in this situation of Yang dangling him off the crane by his ankle. He was being as calm as possible, which was quickly failing. He looked up from his upside down position to see the ocean. He was sweating bullets as he felt Yang's very strong grip keeping him up so he felt a little safe.
"Where is he?" She questioned him lessening her grip ever so slightly. Neptune instantly began to flail around screaming. She found this to her advantage.
"Where is he!?" She was honest about ready to just beat the crap out of him and go after Sun but she had to see if she could get anything out of him.
"Who!?"
"You know who I'm talking about, where is he!?" She screamed letting him go for a second. He screamed like a little girl almost wetting himself.
"I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!"
"Stop lying or I'll drop you!"
"Please in all that is holy, NO!"
He was about ready to piss himself as he looked at the demon below him.
"Jaune, where is he!"
He looked at her confused.
"What!? He hasn't been with us all day! We've had some kid that we lost and all-day we've been trying to find him!" He yelled hoping his answer would make her drop him away from the water.
Yang let her grip go and watched him fall as he screamed.
(Arc Women)
June sat in her seat waiting for their flight to reach Vale soon. She eventually blocked out her daughters whining so she could finish her book, in her opinion, it wasn't that good. But everyone else wasn't lucky to have the ability to block them out, Joan had begun to vomit more violently as she remained in the bathroom the entire flight. She was the most unlucky like Jaune because it seemed as if the airsickness affected her and Jaune the most whenever it started.
A female stuartist stood at the door with a worried expression on her face. She knocked on the door as it was quiet for ten minutes.
"Ma'am, are you alright?"
Joan gave no response to the attendant. She knocked on the door again a little louder.
"Ma'am, are you alright?
She was instantly cut off by the worst sound ever.
"BLUUUHHHH, UUUUUHH, UUUUUHH!" The woman stood back wide eyed as she listened to her spitting out whatever was left.
"Do you need something or anything to help?"
"BLUUUHHHH!"
The attendant just stood back wide eyed at the sound. But instantly a blur ran past her into the other one and the same sound came from it.
"Oh, sweet Oum! BLUUUHHHH! Please put me out of my misery!" Athena cried as she released the contents of her stomach. The woman just walked away not sure how to deal with this. As she did the sounds just continued and every passenger had earphones or earbuds in trying to block out the sound but it didn't work.
June just sat in her seat reading without a care of what was happening to her daughters.
(Penny)
Penny walked down the street just looking around with her usual smile but it had a bit more enthusiasm in it as she held Jaune in her arms. She would look down at him every now and then before continuing her walk. She had been getting a lot of attention from other women. They were commenting on the child in her arms. They had been saying how cute she was. She never understood it but continued walking as she held them.
But as she walked she'd been hearing about chases all over the city and a screaming girl. Maybe Ruby and her team are on or better the soldiers that were watching her somehow got sidetracked into it giving her more free time to herself and the child.
"Maybe I can find Ruby and show you to her." She said to the sleeping child who gave no response but a small movement as they shifted in her arms a bit. She felt funny as she watched this as the word appeared in her head again as she continued her walk.
'Cute.'
(Sun)
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh!" Sun had continued screaming like this through the chase. The others, not counting Pyrrha, were surprised he hasn't lost his voice yet. He was screaming almost like Jaune during initiation. Pyrrha had already started trying to shoot him but due to his 'dodging', he was able to not get hit. He was just running from the blood thirsty demon chasing him.
"Sun, wait! We promise Pyrrha won't murder you!" Ruby yelled as she chased him.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh!" Sun responded.
Weiss smacked her as she ran.
"Owie! Why'd you do that for!" She cried holding her head.
"For thinking that would work!" She yelled running as she held her bag from the store. Blake tried to use her weapon, mostly to try and shut him up because his screaming was killing her ears, but Sun had fallen off the roof and into an alley straight into the dumpster.
"WHY!?" He screamed jumping out and booking it to the street. They jumped down below before beginning the chase again, Pyrrha the most as the ground cracked below her feet as she landed. As she chased him metal around her began to slightly bend in her direction.
"Should we try and calm her down?"Ruby asked Weiss as they watched the warrior chase the monkey.
"You have any ideas?" She said as they looked at the angry red head.
"...No."
"Let's just figure it out when we catch Sun," Blake said as she saw Pyrrha turn her spear into its rifle mode.
(Ozpin)
Ozpin sat in his chair slowly spinning as he sipped from his cup of coffee. Today had been completely boring for him, he even finished all of his late paperwork from the last three months, even for the current month. He never did paperwork. He'd been waiting hours in his office for Glynda to come and yell at him about not doing his paperwork or for not properly punishing teams RWBY and NPR after their destructive activity today. But she never came or called him, not even a message.
He was honestly hoping for Ironwood or the council to call him and argue about something, maybe that could give him some entertainment. But sadly that never happened, he then started flipping through the cameras all over Beacon to see if anything was happening.
He found Oobleck standing in the teacher's lounge by the coffee machine. He rubbed his eyes before he took off his glasses. He looked at them closely before cleaning them. He then placed them back on.
"Maybe I need to go have my eyes examined. See if I need a new pair." He soon went back to waiting for his coffee to finish.
Ozpin switched cameras finding Oobleck boring.
He then found Port in his classroom sitting at his desk polishing his Blunderbuss.
"Ah, what a relaxing day. It's a shame though, no students around to tell my riveting stories to!" He finished polishing his weapon and put the rag down. He then pulled out a sharpening stone and used it on the ax blades.
Ozpin switched to the next class to see it was Peach's. He saw it was empty, he started switching to different cameras to get different angles in the room trying to find her. He remembered that he left the applications for new teachers to Glynda when he was enjoying his yearly launches of freshmen off the cliff into the forest and during that he guessed Glynda approved her and that was it. He never met or saw her, the only person who has seen the woman was Glynda. He doesn't even have a picture of the woman.
He eventually gave up trying to find the damn woman and switched to the forest cameras. He started flipping through the emerald forest seeing nothing but grim.
He looked through the cameras at Forever Fall, the red trees swaying in the wind. He started flicking bored with that, he quickly began seeing a pack of Beowulfs in one and then an Ursa in another camera as he looked through them. He then switched to another seeing a head of Boarbatusk with young piglets. He zoomed in at two piglets that were squealing at each other. The large one that was significantly larger than all the others seemed excited from the sounds it was making, while the smaller one that must have been the runt was just looking at it.
Ozpin shut off the cameras and put his head down on his desk.
"Why have things been so boring?" He shut his eyes deciding to take a nap.
(Ren)
Ren sat at his favorite café since they were the only one that could make his drink. He looked over at the sleeping Nora across from him in her chair, he had gotten her off and given her a pillow to clamp to so he could relax without her on his back. He was hoping he could enjoy his drink before they either somehow found Jaune or another clue to where he was and cause a whole chase again.
The waiter placed the glass in front of him walking away, he let go of his nose shivering on how he was going to drink that.
Ren grabbed the glass and took a gulp of the green liquid before placing it down. He took a breath before thinking about Jaune, why was it that every time he looked at him like he was reminded about something from a long time ago. It's like he remembered it but it was as if there was a fog over his memories as a kid. Maybe it was just because he couldn't remember his childhood like most people but he had a feeling like he's seen someone like that before. He looked over to Nora as drool formed at the corner of her mouth.
Maybe he can remember after his drink while ignoring the screams coming from far away.
(Alleyway )
"So...what do...we do...now?" Weiss asked as she held herself up against the wall catching her breath along with Ruby, Blake, and Pyrrha.
Blake was sitting on the ground against the wall breathing heavily, she had taken her bow off so her ears could get air. She honestly felt like her lungs were on fire each time she took a breath.
Ruby was laying face down on the ground panting as her legs gave out the second she stopped running, even with her semblance they both felt like jelly as the pain shot up her legs. She didn't want to move worried that if she did then her legs would fall off.
Out of them, all Pyrrha was the worst. She was on her hands and knees heaving as she caught her breath, her weapon lay on the ground still in its rifle mode but empty. Her hair clung to her skin as sweat formed on her once she stopped running, all the anger and bloodlust she had was gone after wasting her energy and aura chasing him. They were all in bad shape after running for who knows how long without ever stopping. They all maybe hunters but even they have their limits.
As they rested Sun lay on the ground gagged and restrained by metal pipes thanks to Pyrrha. She had wrapped his whole upper body and legs so he couldn't run. The gag, however, was complimentary of Blake, she wanted him to shut up so it was the gag or knock him out but being too tired and them needing him to talk, so she just gagged him with a rag she found on the ground. He was screamed as she walked to him with it. Once she got it on him it finally shut him up.
He tried to move but nothing budged as he tried. He tried to ignore the rag Blake shoved into his mouth that has Oum knows what on it. So he just sat breathing heavily through his nose now that he wasn't running away in fear and screaming at the top of his lungs.
(20 minutes later)
They finally caught their breath and began questioning Sun. Ruby crouch in front of him as he looked at Pyrrha scared.
"Sun, I'm going to take the gag off of you now. Do you promise not to scream if I do? Shake your head yes or no." He quickly shook yes not taking his eyes off of the red headed demon. Ruby reached over and undid the rag pulling it out of his mouth. He began spitting as he tasted the rag again.
"Ugh, tasted like sweaty fish!" He yelled as they waited for him to finish. When he finally stopped Ruby questioned him.
"Okay Sun, where is Jaune?"
He instantly looked at her questioningly. He hasn't been with Jaune or even seen the dude in days.
"I don't KNOW!" He yelled the last part because Pyrrha tightened the pipes crushing his ribs and lungs. She eased up letting him breathe and not break his ribs. He actually felt like crying after that one but he held it.
"Ah."
"Where is he." Pyrrha growled tightening the metal slightly.'
"I don't know! The only ones I've been with all day was Neptune and some kid we found! I swear I haven't seen Jaune!" He yelled before she killed him.
"Sun, that kid was Jaune," Blake informed him as she rubbed her eyes frustrated now more than before.
"...What?"
(Arc women)
June was just about to finish her book. She had to admit even though it was bad it helped her pass the time rather than sitting in her seat listening to her daughter's crying about flying. Then as she was about to finish the last part she felt a tap on her arm, she looked down, Angela was pulling herself up on June's armrest holding her scroll.
"It's dad." She handed the scroll to her mom before falling back to the floor holding her mouth shut.
June looked to see it was John. She placed the bookmark and set her book down, she then spoke into it.
"Yes...?"
"Hello dear."
"What did you do?"
"What," John said hurt, "What makes you think something is wrong? Can't I call my wonderful wife to see how she is?"
"..."
The silence was broken by both Joan and Athena from the bathrooms.
"BLUUUHHHH!"
"Yeah, that was a long shot." He said defeated and scared.
"What did you do now?" She began rubbing her four head trying to calm a headache that was forming. She was trying to remember why she married him.
"Well, my mother is coming."
"Okay, but I'm not there."
"Let me reword that. My mother is going where ever it is you are."
He waited for a response from her but he didn't get one.
"June, are you there? June?"
"...How does she know?"
"One of the girls." As he said that June's scroll began ringing.
"I'll call back." She hung up the phone and dropped it on Athena who gave a small 'ow' before rocking back and forth holding her stomach. She pulled it out and saw the name on the screen. She should have let it ring or rejected the call but she accepted the call and placed it to her ear not saying anything.
"Hello, June. How are my grandbabies doing?"
Well, that's another chapter for Little Arc I hope you enjoyed it. But now it looks like Grama Arc is joining the fray. What fresh hell is coming to Vale when she arrives with the Arcs. Will she get there before or after them? Well, that's all I got so enjoy this extra of Glynda's first time watching Jaune.
Glynda sat on the couch as she watched the Arc's rushing around the home of theirs. She was wearing a regular white tee-shirt and blue jeans. She looked down next to her seeing a small baby boy with blond hair and deep blue eyes. He was sitting in the corner of the couch propped up by a pillow while wearing a blue onesie with white print on his chest that reads.
'I cute. Mom is cute. Dad is lucky.'
She smiled at the little message as he tried to chew on his fist. She laughed a bit as she continued watching him try and fit his hand not paying attention to the family running around.
"Glynda."
She quickly looked to see June standing in front of her holding the other baby. A girl she thinks.
"I'm sorry about the last minute favor but we needed someone to watch Jaune as we visit John's mother and father."
That confused Glynda, why not take him with and see his grandparents. She looked at June to see the woman had a look of irritation and anger so she didn't bother asking her.
"It's, no worries I do owe you for dealing with James and Ozpin."
"Oh, yeah. That's right huh. Oh well, his name is Jaune and all you need to do is watch him. He shouldn't give you much trouble, he'll probably sleep most of the time and cry when he is hungry, tired or needs a change. You can handle that right?"
"Certainly."
"Great now it's time to go. And be stuck with that witch for the next two days." She mumbled the last part to herself before dragging John out the door by his collar while still holding Joan. The girls followed quickly not wanting to anger her anymore. Once the door shut the whole house was filled with silence. She just sat listening to the clock ticking and Jaune's random sounds as he stopped chewing on his hand and began trying to bite the pillow that was holding him up in the corner. As he tried pulling himself forward her fell onto the pillow, Glynda laughed at him as he kicked his legs.
"Come here."
She picked him up and held him in her arms. His deep blue looking into her emerald before reaching a hand out to her. He looked like he was reaching to try and touch her. She smiled as she leaned forward and he touched her nose with his tiny hand, he began giggling which made Glynda's heart just melt as the smile stayed on her face.
"Aren't you just the cutest little thing. I'm glad they didn't take you, cause now I can spend time with you and get to know you." She said to him as she tickled his cheek getting more giggling out of the baby. Not knowing what will happen once he can get around on his own.
