A/N: It's been a while, hasn't it? Funnily enough, I could have updated last week, but ended up uploading a Proud Family Louder and Prouder one-shot instead. Feel free to check it out and roast it. It's 2023. I'm know that one-shot is gonna trigger a LOT of people.

Also, by now, everyone has seen Vol 9 Jaune... AND I LOVE HIM! He looks EXACTLY how Grimm King Jaune does, except more tired looking and obviously has messier hair. My Jaune keeps his hair properly trimmed, but damn does Vol 9 Jaune look good. Warrior's wolf Tail, long hair, awesome beard; he's nearly perfect. Too bad he has obviously been through hell.

But if that's not bad enough, he has a glorious stead. We all know Jaune can't have anything nice or something to love. Something terrible is going to happen to Juniper. Mark my words.

And on that cheery note, onto the story.


Jaune walked into the hut. It was fairly large, about the size of the Belladonna sitting room, but as dark as night. Of course, Jaune was able to see as well as he could in the day, but that didn't change the eerieness of the hut.

"Excuse me?"

"Well, well, hello handsome." Jaune looked around. "Oh, no, no. Don't be scared. I won't hurt you."

"Scared? Me? Also, hurt?" Jaune chuckled. "You obviously have no idea who I am."

"Ooh. You're so brave. I like that. Are you lonely?" Jaune didn't answer. "That's not good. We should never be alone."

"Never said I was. I'm married and I have a son."

"How sweet. I always wanted a child. A son or a daughter. Never mattered to me. I just wanted a child."

'Where the hell is she? I can sense her, but it's like she's everywhere,' Jaune thought.

"Could you help?"

"I don't think I can."

"Don't be like that. I'll make you feel happy." Jaune then looked up to see a beautiful woman with eyes as yellow as the sun looking into his eyes, the woman slithering down a branch as elegantly as a snake. "I'll make you feel safe. Just you and me, sssweet thing," she said, her literally forked tongue flickering out of her mouth when she said the word sweet.

'So this is Peela,' Juaune thought as he looked over the Faunus.

Incredibly, she was taller than even him. She had long arms and legs, both of which were moving down the branch seductively. Her waist was pure muscle, abs were as toned as Jaune's. She had short, slick-backed hair that somehow added to her already seductive beauty, and on closer inspection, the hair on her head was the only area she had any body hair. The rest of her, her arms, legs, stomach, and back were all hairless. What's more, they looked as smooth as velvet. Finally, her eyes. Her beautiful, glowing, golden eyes, The slits in them that showed she was a Faunus gave her a dangerous beauty. A wild beauty. The woman before Jaune was absolutely gorgeous.

"Are you Peela Kaa? The current Serpent God?"

"So you know me? Why would someone so handsome want to meet me," she said as she slithered farther off the branch. She showed off her impressive muscle control by slithering off the branch, holding onto it with just her legs alone, holding herself in the air as naturally as any snake would. Because of this, Jaune was able to see her amazing abs and her surprisingly huge breasts.

"Well, you are the current Serpent God."

"Don't you know what you are? You're not a serpent. But, then again, you can become one, can't you. . . Grimm King?"

"You knew who I was from the beginning."

"I did. That golden hair. Those blue eyes. The power resssonating from you. And that sweet, dangerous smell to you. I've never caught the sent of one so... intoxxxicating," she said as she pinched the branch. She once again showed off her muscle strength when her legs released the branch, but she did not fall. She was holding onto the branch with just her fingers alone.

Then, seductively, intentionally or not, she stepped onto the ground, her long legs and her dainty toes getting a lot of attention. Then, she walked around Jaune, still seductively and provocatively.

"The Strongest Man in the World. The Vale Knight. Weilder of the Sword of Destruction. Slayer of Salem. Now her successor. The King of Grimm. So many titles. So many legends. Why would a man so great want to be taught by me?"

"I need to become stronger. My enemies are becoming mightier as the days go by. In one of my previous fights, I learned that I was a joke underwater. In a fight before that, I almost lost hand-to-hand. In fact, it was the Wolf God Style that helped me defeat one of my most powerful enemies to date. With this body of mine, I could learn all five of the Beast God styles."

Peela giggled. "Do that, and you'd become the first-ever God of Animals, the epitome of Beast God Martial Arts. Do you really think you're ready," Peela asked as she stood in front of Jaune, leaning forward to meet his eye level.

"I'm ready to try."

"Or, you could stay here with me. I'd keep you close."

"I'm already married."

"Don't worry about her. Don't worry about anyone. Don't worry about anything," she said, eyes still locked onto Jaune's. "Just... Trussssst... in me," she said, her eyes looking hypnotic to Jaune.

Peela then leaned in, her lips coming closer to Jaune's, the hero's eyes glazed as he remained unmoving.

Then...

"Ow," Jaune hissed after his tattoo began to burn. "WHAT THE-" he went when he finally noticed that Peela had coiled around him.

Jaune used his super strength to push Peela away from him before jumping out of her grasp. When he landed, he lunged at her, forming claws.

'Wolf God Style: First Fang,' he thought. 'Alpha Wolf's Bite!' Jaune tried to slash at Peela.

She smirked.

Before the claws could reach her, she closed her eyes and leaned to the side, perfectly avoiding Jaune's slashes. She then grabbed his wrists and used Jaune's own weight and momentum to spin him around before slamming him to the ground.

Jaune coughed in pain. "What? What just happened?"

"So you have basic knowledge of the Wolf God Style." Jaune looked up to see Peela looking down at him, her arms behind her back. "You know the Wolf God is best against multiple enemies, right?"

Jaune growled before he jumped to his feet. "Alright. How about this," he said as he took a stance.

"The famous Xiao Long Style, huh? I suppose it's somewhat better, for a human martial art, anyway."

Jaune ignored Peela's remarks and charged at her. He tried to punch and kick her, but Peela, despite being at least a foot, maybe even two feet taller than Jaune, easily dodged all of his attacks. 'Why can't I hit her?!'

Then, when Jaune threw a big punch, Peela caught it. But she didn't stop there.

She began to show off the flexibility of Snake Faunus by having her arm coil around Jaune's. Then, before Jaune could react, Peela sprung at Jaune, coiling around him completely, her legs locked around his, her torso wrapped around his, and her other arm holding onto his. Peela Kaa had completely constricted Jaune Arc, the man not even able to use his own strength to break free of her hold.

Peela giggled as she moved toward his ear. "You have much to learn, handsssssome."


Blake led Argent to his class, the boy looking at his aunt in confusion. "How do you already know what class I'm in?"

"Menagerie may be crowded, but some things don't change. Children in your year still attend the same classes." Blake then stopped in front of a door and knocked.

"Come in," a young voice went, making Blake's ear perk up. "That doesn't sound like Mr. Baloo." She then opened the door to see a beautiful Wolf Faunus in front of the chalkboard. Blake stiffened. 'CRAP,' she thought.

"Blake? It's been so long!"

"Hey, Raksha," Blake went nervously.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, just came to drop off this little guy."

"Whoa," Argent went after Blake yanked him in front of her.

"A human? Well, that obviously rules out him being your son. Who is he?"

"My nephew."

"So you DID marry a human. I guess I owe Yuma a drink. So are you only here to drop this little cutie here?"

"I'M NOT CUTE!"

Raksha blinked. "Furocious. . . I like him. Should have been born a Wolf Faunus."

"No. I'm also a teacher here. Temporarily! Junior Year 1."

"Hm. A few years above me, huh?"

"I guess."

"Well, don't worry. I can handle him."

"I'll hold you to that," Blake said as she pushed Argent in. "Bye. Have fun. Don't do anything your dad or aunt would do," Blake said with a wave before running off.

"What was that supposed to mean," Argent wondered.

"Well, then-" Argent looked up just as Raksha bent down to get a closer look at her.

Argent got to get a closer look at Raksha's features. Her golden eyes, her dark gray wolf ears, and her smile. As Argent stared at her, he could only think of one thing. "So pretty."

"Oh? You think I'm pretty?"

Argent turned bright red. "Please tell me I didn't say that out loud."

He got his answer when the class snickered. He looked to see a room full of Faunus kids. He saw tails, horns, scales, and ears everywhere. He also saw some who didn't look like Faunus at first glance, like a girl in the back. But when he locked eyes with her, she looked away and turned pink. 'Oh, a Chameleon like Big Sis Ilia,' he thought.

"Alright, cub, introduce yourself to the class."

"Um, alright," Argent said as he turned towards the class. "Hello. It's nice to meet you all. My name is Argent Arc."

That got the class to begin to murmur.

"Arc," a boy with donkey ears asked. "As in THE Arc?"

"Jaune Arc," a girl with hair a lot like Verde's asked.

"Yup. That's my dad."

"No way," a monkey girl howled. "He's the greatest Huntsman in the world! You're his son?!"

"Yup. Blood and all."

A big girl with tusks raised her hand. "Didn't he save Menagerie from a Devil Dragon infestation a few years ago?"

"He also saved Aunt Kali from one."

"HEY! WHO SAID YOU COULD ADDRESS LADY KALI LIKE THAT," a Honey Badger girl yelled.

"She did."

"Huh?"

"When I first met Aunt Kali, the first thing she did was hug me and gave me permission to call her my aunt. Actually, that's not true. She wanted me to call her Grandma Kali or Mama Kali. No idea why. She's not my grandma."

A Hyena boy was laughing so hard that he fell out of his desk.

"Alright, children. That's enough," Raksha said as she clapped her hands together. "Banzai, get back into your seat." The Hyena did as he was told, still snickering. "Argent, your seat is next to his."

"Okay," Argent said before walking towards the desk. As he did, he jumped over the leg of the same Ratel girl that yelled at him, the girl obviously trying to trip him. He didn't even look at her, which angered the girl.

He then noticed the Chameleon girl from earlier. She glanced up just for a second, the two locking eyes. She then immediately looked down again, turning pink a second time. Argent then blushed before shaking his head. He finally took his seat next to the still snickering Hyena.

"Hi. Banzi, right?"

"That's me. Nice to meet the famous Argent Arc."

"Famous?"

"Unlike most of the yahoos on this island, I actually follow Remnant news. I knew who you were the moment I saw ya. Not many kids can throw a big bitch the size of Honua there," he said as he pointed at the Elephant Fanus girl.

"That girl's not that big. Rauban was much bigger. Uglier, too."

Banzai snickered. "You're funny. I like that. Here's some advice, though. You see the oreo whore over there?"

"The chick that yelled at me and tried to trip me?"

"That's her. Oh, she tried to trip you? Anyway, be careful around her. Uju thinks she's the apex of the class. Funny, since she never beat Nala," he said as he pointed at the Lion Faunus. "But she's still the second toughest chick in the class."

"Who's the toughest dude?"

"You're talking to him."

"Oh."

"If you haven't noticed, I'm the only carnivorous Faunus in this room. One guy's a monkey, another's a deer, and the last one is a literal jackass. Sadly, the girls run this class, unless you're me. So, you want my advice?"

"Sure."

"Don't be a beta animal. Even among Faunus, we respect the strong. Hell, Uju has a massive crush on your old man."

"Of course she does," Argent sighed with a roll of his eyes.

"Just be as much of a badass as your dad, and you'll do just fine in he- OW," Banzai went after he was hit in the head by chalk.

"That's enough talking, Banzai," Raksha said. "Alright, class, back to our lesson." She then grabbed another piece of chalk and began to write. "The Importance of Senses. We Faunus have far more acute senses than humans. Our sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are far more advanced. What is one of our most useful features?"

Argent raised his hand.

"Oh? First day in class and already participating. Not bad, Mr. Arc. So, what's an advantage you know we Faunus have?"

"Night vision."

"An excellent one at that. And do you know one of the most famous uses for our night vision in Faunus history?"

"When the Faunus army easily took out General Lagoon's forces at the Battle of Fortcastle."

"Very good, Mr. Arc." Raksha went back to teaching.

'You seemed to really know about that old fight,' Banzai whispered.

'When my dad was attending Beacon, it was one of his most embarrassing moments getting that wrong,' Argent whispered back. 'Aunt Blake never let him live it down when she was teaching me about it.'

"Boys, I did mention how Faunus have enhanced hearing, did I not," Raksha said, not turning around.

"SORRY, MA'AM," they went nervously.

As the class went on, Uju continued to glare at Argent, the boy either none the wiser or completely ignoring her.

Either way, the human boy pissed her off.


It was the end of the day. Argent was waiting at the school entrance for his aunt and cousin. He noticed them walk out, Blake on her scroll while Verde looked exhausted.

"Hey, Verde. Hey, Aunt Blake."

"Hey, Arie," Blake went.

Verde didn't say anything. she just walked up to Argent.

"Ver? What's wrong," he asked.

"I'm going to borrow your chest for a bit," she said as she lifted him.

"Wha?! Hey! What's going-"

Verde took a deep breath, buried her face in Argent's chest, then screamed. She then let out a content sigh as she put the boy down. "Oh, GODS, I needed that. Hm? You okay, Arie?"

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I F-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-L L-L-L-L-L-L-L-I-K-E I-I-I-I-I'M -O-O-O-O-O-N A-A-A-A-A C-R-A-A-A-A-A-Z-Z-Z-Y-Y-Y R-R-R-R-O-O-C-C-K-Y R-R-R-R-O-O-O-A-A-A-D-D," he vibrated out.

"Makes sense. Verde, you know Lion Faunus have dangerously loud voices. You shouldn't have screamed at all, let alone on Argent. Why did you even need to do that?"

Verde glared at her mom.

"What?"

"Seriously?" She then sighed heavily. "I need some goddamn tea."

"Language," Blake went. Verde just sighed again as she trudged away.

"What's with her," Argent asked.

"No idea. So, how was your first day of school, Arie?"

"Alright. A bit harder than I thought it would be. Ms. Raksha wanted me to rely on my sense of smell WITHOUT my Semblance! I didn't know being a Faunus would be so hard."

Blake giggled. "You would never have gotten a challenge like that in Signal. Did you pass?"

"Barely, but that's only thanks to my new friend, Banzai."

"What did he do?"

"He... gave me wasabi."

"He what?"

"He told me it was mint to help clear my sinuses. At least he got the sinus part right," Argent said as he rubbed his nose. "But I think I'd rather use my Semblance to Enhance my nose. That wasabi was crazy."

"Sure sounds crazy. Anything else happen?"

"A girl named Uju hates me."

"Why?"

"I'm living with Aunt Kali and Uncle Ghira right now."

Blake sighed. "Of course. Jealousy. Sorry, kiddo."

"Ah, it's no big deal. I'm the son of Jaune Arc. I'm used to people being jealous of me at this point."

"Well, I'm glad you can handle yourself, Arie," Blake said as she patted his head.

"Shi-shi-shi. Hm? Hey, Aunt Blake, those mangos smell incredible," he said as he pointed at a nearby fruit bender.

"HAH! Boy's got a good nose," the Lama Faunus went.

"Think we should get some for Aunt Kali?"

"Well, she does like fruit. Why not," Blake shrugged. "You want anything, Ve-"

Verde was already at a vendor, buying some of the Guinea Pig Faunus's naturally grown willow bark, chewing on it the moment she grabbed it.

"What does that girl need aspirin for?"

Later, the three entered the Belladonna Estate, Kali already there to greet them. She gave Argent a little kiss on the cheek after he handed her the mangoes and went straight to making some lavender tea for Verde when the girl politely asked for a cup.

After a while, the four were sitting at the table, eating mangoes and drinking tea.

"Well, it's good to know that Argent is having a decent time at school. It's already improving him."

"Though, it had to be through a cruel prank," Blake said.

"Hey, I can handle wasabi just fine," Argent said with a pout.

"How about you, Verde," Kali asked her granddaughter. "How was your first day of class?"

Verde surprised everyone when her face slammed onto the table. "It. Was. Horrible."

"Did you hate having me for a teacher THAT much," Blake asked.

"Mom, you kept calling me for almost all of your problems! It was to the point that I felt bullied by my own mother!"

"Oh, don't exaggerate. You got all of my questions right, didn't you?"

"That's not the point! Just, please, call on someone other than me next class?"

"Fine, fine," Blake said before taking a sip of her tea. "Though, from what I saw, none of the other students looked very enthusiastic."

"Maybe that's because most of your questions were HARD! Best way to take down a Nuckelavee?! Seriously?! What to do in a Beowolf Pack attack on your own?! I was afraid you were going to ask how to take down a NIGHTMARE next!"

"I wouldn't ask that. I haven't even beaten a Nightmare yet."

"My dad has."

"No bragging, cub," Blake went. "Though, maybe a good question for my Huntsman Class would be how to best handle a man like Jaune."

"Nope! No, no, no! That's a question NO ONE could answer! Need I remind you that Uncle Jaune is literally THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD!? AND THAT WAS BEFORE HE BECAME THE GRIMM KING!" Verde then chugged her tea before her face slammed onto the table. "I don't think ANYONE besides Aunt Nimueh can handle him."

"No one knows my idiot quite as I do, after all," Nimueh said as she brought in a plate of chicken wings.

"Oh, right! We need to prepare dinner," Kali said as she got up.

"Those should hold them over until we're done. Hopefully," Nimueh giggled before she and Kali entered the kitchen.

"Do you need help," Blake called.

"We've got it under control," Kali called back.

"Just relax now that you're back, Mrs. Xiao Long," Nimueh went.

Blake sighed. "That reminds me. Not one of my students called me Mrs. Xiao Long. It was Ms. Belladonna. Ms. Belladonna. Ms. Belladonna. One even called me LADY Belladonna. Does this thing mean nothing," Blake sulked as she placed her head on her hand, holding up her left hand to stare at her ring.

"How is Aunt Yang, anyway," Argent asked.

"No idea," Verde answered tiredly. "We're not even sure if she's home yet. We kinda left everything behind when we found out you three were coming to Menagerie. All we did was leave a note to tell her where we went."

"But since I haven't gotten an angry call or my wife hasn't stormed through the door yet, I can only assume she's not home yet," Blake said as she took another sip of her tea.

"Wonder what she's doing," Argent said aloud.


Meanwhile.

Yang landed a punch on a massive man, knocking him out.

K.O. WINNER: FLAME GODDESS YANG!

"IS THAT ALL YOU PUNKS GOT?! GIVE ME A REAL CHALLENGE," she roared at the half-cheering, half-booing crowd of thugs.

A bald, fat man was looking down at her from his VIP lounge, along with other important-looking spectators.

"See if the Huntress can handle The Hunter."

"Yes, sir, Mr. Fisk," a grunt said before walking away.

"Woman doesn't know when to quit," a beauty said before taking a puff of her pipe, blowing out the smoke in the shape of a dragon.

"She's been fighting for days. She can't beat everyone," a dwarf with a long red beard said. "Not that I mind. She's makin' me a lot of lien."

The large man just glared at Yang, who looked up at him and smirked. "She'll break soon enough."


"I'm sure she's just fine. It's Yang," Blake said.

"True. Hey, where's my dad?"

The door then opened. Everyone looked to see Jaune walk in, eyes shadowed.

"Speak of the Grimm King, and the King shall arrive. How are you, Your Majesty," Blake asked as Jaune took the nearest seat, which happened to be right next to Blake.

Jaune then slammed his face on the table.

"You, too, huh," Verde went.

"Yup. I'll have what she's having," he said.

Blake sniffed Jaune and sighed. "You went to HER, didn't you?"

"Yup."

Blake sighed. "Alright. Tell us what happened."

"Well... you see..."


Jaune was trying to get out of Peela's hold. He didn't want to hurt her, so he was only using his base strength. Even before he became the Grimm King, he was always incredibly strong. As strong as Yang herself. Some thought he was even stronger. That famous strength of his was absolutely useless right now.

Peela was wrapped around him perfectly, and Jaune was not able to move a muscle. The Python Faunus had her flexible limps wrapped around Jaune's joints, making it impossible for him to move. He even tried to flex, but Peela's muscles were as impressive as his.

"As you might have guessed, this is called Constriction. A grappling technique that completely immobilizes the victim. Only those with monstrous levels of strength can escape. Hint, hint, handssssome."

Jaune begrudgingly took Peela's advice and increased his strength. He added Beringel and Goliath muscles to his body and flexed hard enough to escape Peela's hold. Once freed, he tried to hit her with a back fist, but she showed off her flexibility again by bending back and slithering away. She then stood at her full height, literally looking down at Jaune with her hands behind her back, giggling.

Jaune took a stance.

"I thought I told you Wolf God is most effective against groups."

"It's the only other Beast God style I know."

"Hm. Shame. They say Eagle God is most effective against Serpent God, but you can't exactly use it in my hut. However, I've only ever lost to the current Tiger God, Byakko. Maybe you should have gone to him before me."

Jaune rolled his eyes. "Thanks for telling me that sooner, Blake," he muttered. "Well, I'm here now, and I don't plan on running away."

Peela giggled. "Fiesty. You realize all female beasts like strong males, including Faunus. You're being incredibly sexy right now."

"Glad to know I'm pleasing you."

"In more waysssss than one."

Jaune then lunged at the giant woman, trying to use the basics of what Murua taught him, trying to use speed to slash Peela, but she was dodging all of his attacks easily. Jaue then tried to switch by using a sweep kick, which Peela avoided by raising just one leg. Jaune still used the chance to try and jab her with his claws.

Peela's flexibility struck again when her waist slid past Jaune's claw, the beauty spinning away from him. When Jaune turned towards her, she slapped him.

Her slap cracked like a whip, the force sending Jaune spinning in the air before he slammed hard on his back.

He groaned in pain as he sat up, rubbing his burning cheek, his Aura healing the damage done to him. "That felt like being hit by an actual whip. What was that?"

"That was the Sidewinder's Strike." Jaune looked up at Peela, still standing with her arms behind her back. "It's considered to be one of the fastest strikes in all of Beast God Martial Arts. By relaxing all the muscles in your arm, you can swing it at incredible speeds. And right at the moment your strike lands, you harden your muscles to whatever degree you wish. Fun fact: that whip you felt was its weakest."

"Feeling like being struck by a whip is weak?"

"Mhm. There was a Serpent God who was so proficient with Sidewinder Strike that it felt like being struck by lightning. Even left a nice burn and scar."

"Wow."

"And now that I've shown you the fastest Serpent, let me show you the strongest," Peela said as she began to coil her dominant arm, her fist beginning to vibrate.

"Oh, crap," Jaune went as he braced for impact.

"Titanaboa."

Jaune tightened his muscles to maximize his defense, without relying on his powers, of course. Still, the strike was incredibly fast. It was also incredibly powerful. Jaune felt like he was being punched by one of New Mantle's Titans. It had enough force to make him gag, coughing up spit before he was sent skidding away.

He groaned before his Aura sparked. Then, he began to cough violently before falling to one knee.

"Impresssive," Peela said as she walked up to Jaune. "The Titanaboa's Bite, the most powerful attack in all of Serpent God Style. It channel's all the muscle strength in your body into a single arm, charging the strike until it is ready to be released. Think of it like shooting a rocket. You should be amazed at yourself. Most humans Auras would be shattered if struck by that, along with some of their organs."

"Definitely feels powerful enough," Jaune groaned, knowing full well his Aura was in the red.

"You did well, handsome. You were holding back completely, except for that time I taught you how to break out of Constriction, not relying on your magic or your newly mutated body, but trying to fight as a human. You truly do deserve to be called the Strongest Man in the World."

"Thanks."

"But we've had enough fun for today," she said as she wrapped her long arm completely around Jaune.

"What are you-"

"I'd take a few days off if I were you. Or, even better advice, go to the other Beast Gods. You have the basics of Wolf God down pretty well, so I suggest going after Mahina. She'll teach you the rest of Wolf God. After that, you can come back to me, Kai, or Iani. Just don't go to Byakko. I may have suggested going to him before me, but that was mostly a joke. You're not ready to be trained by him. Not yet, anyway."

"Wait a-"

"Bye." Peela then yanked her arm with enough force to make Jaune spin like a top. She then opened her hut's door and let Jaune spin out the door before he slid across the dirt back first. He groaned in pain as he sat up.

"I also provide massages. Come by anytime if you're feeling stressed, ssssexy." With that, she closed her hut's door.

Jaune stared at the Serpent God's home before groaning as he fell back onot the ground, staring into the sky. "That. Hurt. Like. Hell. Ow."

His Aura then shattered.

"Ooof course."


Blake took a sip of her tea. "Sounds about right for her."

"And how did you know her," Jaune asked.

"I'm FROM Menagerie. She and I went to Ao Ana."

"Was she also part of the White Fang?"

"No. She was never interested in politics or equality. She always thought, 'as long as I do as I want and I'm not bothered by others, why should I care?' She was always a troublemaker, too."

"How so?"

"She used her Semblance on others to get whatever she wanted. Lien, food, drinks..." She then glanced at Jaune. "Men."

"Women," Jaune asked.

"Mhm," she said before taking another sip. "She's broken plenty of hearts and ruined many marriages. It's one of the reasons I didn't want you to go after her."

"Did you really think I'd cheat on Nimueh with her," Jaune asked as he sat up.

"Yes," Blake answered without hesitation.

Jaune jolted. "What do you see me as, lady?"

"A horny, lustful, excess-libido himbo who slept with my team leader and my mother-in-law and my own... damn... mother," she said as she glared at Jaune. She could practically see her own words piercing through Jaune like spears.

"She's got you there, uncle," Verde said with a nervous laugh.

Blake smiled in pride before sipping her tea with closed eyes.

"NYAAAH," she went after Jaune traced his finger up her back, starting from her butt. "YOU PERVERT," she went after she tried to smack him.

Jaune bent back, showing incredible flexibility. It was so surprising that Blake fell onto her face.

"Wow. I didn't know you were that flexible, dad," Argent said.

"I got the idea from my fight with Peela. Serpent God Style is all about flexibility, actually. I should have used these tactics sooner. Makes getting hit by enemies a lot harder," he said as he bent his neck to avoid Blake's next attack. She glared at him before sitting back down to sip more of her tea.


Meanwhile.

Yang's eyes turned red before she threw an excessively angry punch. Her fist almost went through her opponent, but the albino man was instead sent bursting out of the cage and into the stands.

W-WINNER: FLAME GODDESS YANG!

Yang roared in rage as the crowd both cheered and booed her again.

"She just took out Tombstone with one punch," the woman said as she took another puff. "So much for his Stonewall Semblance. Running out of champions, Fisky?"

"Keep talking, Deathstrike, and I'll rip your damn dead off."

Deathstrike giggled. "You can try, fat man," she said as she grew long, sharp claws on her free hand.

"Come on, now," the midget in green went. "We're making money off of the bitch, aren't we?"

"Is money all you care about, Smaragaid?"

"After Arc destroyed my empire, you're damn right it is. All me gold, me Dust, me weapons, ME ENTIRE FORTUNE! RUINED BY ONE MAN," he roared as he slammed his fist on his chair, making it break off, gems falling out of it.

Deathstrike laughed. "So much for your famous Leprauchan's Luck Semblance!"

"Oi! You lost to Arc, too!" That shut her up, the beauty frowning before sighing sadly.

"Enough! I don't want to hear about that man right now." Fisk glared at Yang as she was impatiently tapping her foot, ready for her next fight. "Send in... The Abomination." Fisk's cohorts looked at him in surprise.

"B-But sir," Fisk's assistant went. "The cage isn't designed for him. In fact, that monster is made for Jaune Arc himself. He's not even close to complete!"

"Then this is a good trial run for him. Send. Him. In."

"But-"

"DO IT," Fisk roared with enough volume to make the entire underground fight ring rumble, scaring the audience into silence.

Moments later, Yang raised an eyebrow at the sound of thunderous footsteps. Then, she saw a large shadow in her opponent's entryway.

The entryway then exploded, Yang catching a stone that would have hit her face before crushing it into powder.

Out of the dust stomped out a Faunus who didn't even remotely look human. He was at least eight feet tall, had fins for ears, green scales all over his body, clawed hands, and looked to be made of muscle. The massive Faunus towered over the beautiful Huntress, Yang looking up as the beast looked down at her.

"YOU'RE my opponent? A scrawny woman?"

Yang's eyebrow twitched before she held up and flexed her arm, her bicep bulging. "Do I LOOK scrawny to you, guppy?"

"Yes. You do. I was told my only opponent would be Jaune Arc. I was literally made in order to kill him. Instead, I'm fighting a woman? How disappointing."

Yang took a deep breath and let out a big, long sigh. "Yup," she went with a pop of her mouth, cracking her knuckles. "Looks like I'm having fish for dinner, tonight."


"I still can't believe you lost, dad," Argent said.

"Well, believe it. Faunus Martial Arts are no joke. I'm honestly shocked more Faunus don't train in it."

"Not all Faunus can learn a Beast God style, Arc," Blake said in annoyance.

"Coming from the girl who doesn't use her dad's Panther Style, I believe you."

"Jaune, I will hurt you," Blake said.

"You'll try," Jaune teased.

"Alright, alright, enough of all that." Everyone looked towards Nimueh's voice, seeing the beauty and Kali bringing in plates of food. "It's time for dinner."

The beauties placed down a plate of grilled meat and pineapple, a plate of grilled fish, a bowl of tropical fried rice, a bowl of diced fruit, and a bowl of salad.

"Wow," Argent went, silver eyes twinkling.

"Grandma's cooking. It's been so long," Verde said as she wiped a tear from her eye. "So long since I've had delicious cooking that wasn't takeout."

"Hey," Blake went.

"Wait a minute. Nim, did you help make this," Jaune asked.

"Uh-huh. That a problem," she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I thought you didn't like to cook. It's why you always made me do it."

Nimueh blushed. "I never said I didn't like cooking. It's just... I... never knew how," she said while looking away.

Jaune could only think of one thing when she did that: 'Cute.'

Nimueh closed her eyes with a twitching eyebrow. "I heard that," she said with an even deeper blush.

Nimueh was surprised when Kali hugged her. "She was a bit rough around the edges, but she is a natural with the knife. Took quite a bit of trial and error and I'm going to need new pots and pans-"

"I said I was sorry," Nimueh said in embarrassment.

"I'll pay for that," Jaune said as he bowed in apology.

Kali giggled. "Don't worry about it. The point is, my student here is on her way to being a top-grade Menagerian chef!"

"Student," Jaune asked as he looked at his wife.

"What? You thought I was going to sit around all day while Argent is at school and you're out training?"

"Kinda?"

"I'm gonna hurt you tonight."

"Please do," Blake said.

"Alright. We've had our fun," Kali said. "Let's eat! . . . Where's Ghira?"

"Office," Blake, Verde, and Argent answered in perfect unison.

Kali groaned before she walked off to grab her husband so her whole family could enjoy a nice meal together.

"Ghira, dinner," they heard her call.

"Not now, Kali! I need to finish these do-"

"GHIRA. DINNER."

Jaune, Blake, and Verde shivered at the tone their enhanced hearing picked up.

"Y-Yes, dear."

"You're mom's scary," Jaune said.

"I know," Blake responded.


A/N: And that's the end. But lo, what be this? Is it the continuation of the story my little sisters made? Why, yes it is.

Omake:

Julie smiled as she swiftly dodged attempted swings from the Maiden, she flipped away, but appearing behind her was Qrow who tried swinging his blade at her, but she jumped over him dodging it and landing on the light post

"That Semblance of hers," Qrow said "never seen one like it before"

"It seems as if she's able to manipulate the gravity around her" Winter observed

Shiv and Qrow then fired their bullets and ice sheds at her, she ran avoiding the attacks as she returned fire from her gun, when Julie wasn't looking Winter activated her glyph under her feet, launching herself at the girl in high speed swinging her sword, sending them both in the air, Julie blocked it with her gun smirking at her as she bends back, kick flipping Winter off her sending further in the air. Winter quickly summoned her manticore catching her as she rode on it, she looked to see Julie floating in the air, the manticore soared down at Julie as Winter fired ice shed blasts, but she outmaneuvered them (like Goku with Frieza's energy blasts in Resurrection F), when she was close enough to the ground, she saw Qrow with his weapon in scythe form him and Shiv on both sides, they swung their weapons, but Julie drove in between the weapons dodging them as she did she fired rounds at both of them, while Qrow spun his scythe deflecting her shots, Shiv ran to the side dodging using her glyphs increasing her speed, she leap up into the air spinning her trident preparing the pierce Julie, but she leap into the air dodging her, floating high in the air, Shiv used another glyph sending herself after the girl, who deactivated her Semblance sending her downward to Shiv, who blocked her, but the force send her back to the ground and into her father who caught her, when Julie landed aiming her gun she fired combustion dust at them, hitting them sending crushing to the mansion wall

"Qrow! Shiv!" Winter yelled in concern for her daughter and husband, gritting her teeth she charged at the girl in anger. Julie smiled, Winter yelled as the two engaged in close combat, swinging, dodging and blocking each others until Julie shot a couple of rounds Winter dodged and deflected them, Julie swerved back activating her Semblance floating back and rushing at the woman in full force, sending her flying back as Julie fired multiple combustion dust rounds at her, Winter tried zig zagging dodging them, but the force of the explosions were pushing against her causing her to misdirection and crash into the mansion wall as well, she groaned looking for Julie, until she heard an yawn, looking up she saw Julie sitting on the roof of the mansion

Jade spun throwing glowing dagger knives at Raven, who deflected them with her sword, she charged at Jade, who leapt over her spinning trying to swing her sword, but Raven turned blocking it, she skidded the ground on her feet slightly followed with her flipping forward as Jade backflipped, they clashed swords going back and forth rapidly sparks flying, Jade tried swinging her sword, but Raven flipped over dodging it, she tried over swinging her sword, but Jade blocked it with her blade hand, Raven swung her leg attempting to kick Jade, but she dodged swerving trying to swing her sword, but Raven jumped dodging it trying to her sword, but Jade dodged it trying to kick Raven, Raven dodged it, turning to kick her, Jade ducked dodging it, Raven then leapt spinning to downward kick her, but Jade swerved dodging her. Jade charged her trying to pierce her with her sword, but Raven blocked it, Jade jumped spinning her blades, but Raven blocked it, swerved going at her swinging her sword, but Jade spun her swords (windmill spinning style) deflecting/blocked them as sparks flew, Jade broke through swinging her sword downward, but Raven jumped over dodging it and they clashed back and forth when they broke, (this whole half was inspired by Kakashi vs Gotta - Naruto Shippuden) Jade saw the chance

"Got you!" she swung her sword downward, but Raven dodged it and tried swinging her sword, but Jade jumped back dodging it, charged at her again swinging her hand blade, but Raven ducked and delivered a kick to Jade's stomach sending her skidding back on the ground underneath an hut, when Raven went to it, Jade leapt over the hut spinning vertically with her blades, Raven deflected her sending to the other side, she landed on her feet, they clashed a few times, until she found a way to smack Raven's sword out of her hands and delivered a kick to her chest sending her skidding the ground next to her sword that pierced the ground, Raven groaned looking to see Jade on one of the huts, smiling down at her, mocking yawning

"This is the Bandit Queen and the Spring Maiden?" Jade said looked down at Raven with bored eyes

"This is the General of Atlas and the Winter Maiden?" Julie said looked down at Winter with bored eyes "I thought this would be fun" she closed her eyes turning away "but-"

"You're just so" Jade did the same with Raven. They opened their eyes narrowly with boredom at the two Maidens

"Boring" the girls said, striking a nerve in both women causing them look at the angrily with their eyes flaring while gritting their teeth "hmm?" the girls looked at them, Raven stood up grabbing her sword, channeling lighting ice around her. Winter stood up gripping her swords with wind and snow lifting her in the air

"Well" Jade smirked, twirled her sword

"Finally some excitement" Julie smirked, pulling out her other gun and aiming them both at Winter

A/N: And that's the end of this chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Hopefully, I'll be able to update next week.

Until then.
