A/N:
denniskorares-Twins!? Are they something like an young Dora Milaje? Since they're sisters of this Giza, they gotta play a huge part, right? Especially when they don't seem to like Kova and vice versa, if they found out she's responsible for his and his team's deaths... they have share a bit of Simba as well
Kova liked Giza, but he didn't like her. HAH! Mufsa gets over on Scar yet again, even here!
Jaune being tricked and send into an Grimm Den
Get Joto as suit of armor!
Pretty accurate to call them that, actually. They've actually gonna play an even BIGGER part in a future arc.
He always does, no matter the timeline or dimension.
He's a Huntsman. Not hard to make him go into a Grimm Den if it's for the sake of the people.
I see what you did there!
Guest-I think your hqrem tropes and hate for weisst is holding you back from Making a breakthrough as a writer
Don't look at the characters simply Retcon/fix them.. Just blame the writers. You do know there's a couple of well written Jaune x Weiss Stories But I can argue that it would be better if Jaune is Written more Like A Shonen MC but Without The Stupidity and being dense Considering that he would know the social cues of Women Considering he grew up being the only male child. Surrounded by older sisters.
LGBTQ Always makes for weak foundation.. While I Love These Individuals as a person.. I do not respect or Approve of Their Liemfestyle.. It's even.
Disturbing that, they try to bring wash students into I see it happened because I work at the schools.. They try
So hard to suppress Christianity and other religions..But LGBTQ is No different than a cult or Religon.. Those poor children are simply brainwashed.
Back on How Jaune can be potrayed in Fanfics aka Fixes/Ideas.
1: Jaune Acually Have Self Respect and Save himself For Marriage. None of that womanizing stuff. Based on his ubringing , he's not looking for a girlfriend, But a Wife
2: Jaune Father Trains Him Not just so his son can become a most important so his son can survive and Thrive.. His father is confident that regardless of what path Jaune Choose He would at least have Foundation At least be able to defend himself.. Efficient excessive 's just say his training methods were excessive but also efficient and It payed off... He trained his son in all areas of combat mastering each Area on A Basic Level At the minimum. Jaune Is absurdly Sharp and Quick to Adapt in Countering Semblences. He is intelligent individual that thinks outside of the box..As Result If he was hypothetically in illusion semblence, He Would Know and Focus on his Other Senses. Keep in mind he Sense The Aura of Others As a result an illusion semblence Would have No Effect on Him And he would even see Aura Coming From the User.
The Results Of Training. In Overall Combat Ability he at the Level of Novice Licensed Huntsman.. But He Did Not Unlock His Aura Amp Semblence and New At Teamwork.. But is He is more experienced With Aura Mastery and Combat... Of course he is Naturally going to get stronger in the academy. His experiencecand Leadership Makes It Easier For Ren, Nora, and Phyraa To Agree Make Him Leader.
Phyraa and Jaune Rrlationship Think of their relationship similar From Pokemon scarlet Where Mc and Nemona..Best Friends and Rivals.. Phyraa While Kind, Loves The Thrill of Friendly Bout. He Treats Her Normally and She Loves The Fact That Jaune Doesn't Sugar coat things.. Their relationship can particularly be romantic depending on what type of Story
Jaune Friendship With Nora and Ren..He and Phyraa act as Wingmen Hoping Ren and Nora Be Honest with themselves.. Jaune and Phyrra Are Supportive of Ren and Nora Budding Romance. Jaune Regardless of what story will ultimately become the godfather/Honary Uncle of Ren and Nora Children.
Jaune and Ruby: Ruby First Friend. He acts Like Big Bro to Her and Helps Her and Bake Cookies For Her...His Warmth Reminds Her On How Her Faint Memories of her mother. He Actually helps her In Hand To Hand Combat..But He Is bit More Gentle with Her.. He Provide A valid point that she should take a more nutritious diet Because he is worried that her body would not keep up with Her Semblence.. A stronger and more resilient body Helps increase Aura efficiency... Since you are a fan of this ship..Then It Would definitely work..But Ruby Would have to Endure 3 Years beforr Jaune Court her..She is 15 and he is 17.. It all depends on the laws in Remanant
Jaube and Yang. Close friends..But Is Slightly Jealous of Jaune because How Much Ruby Look up to Him and Listen to his Advise... She connect the dots and realize Why Ruby is So Drawn To Jaune because His personality is Is similar to her Step Mother aka Her True Momny, Summer Rose.. He's warmth and Him Being SKilled Baker is What Got Ruby Drawn to him.. He has a protective and nurturing personality like Summer.. She's grateful When Jaune Ensure Yang That The Cookies He Bake For Ruby are Zero Sugar, But also Nutrient and Healthy Fat dense .. He impressed Yang pointing out that a huntsman Have a higher metabolism and As Result Needs Nutrient dense Meals..He points out Meals That Packed with nutrients are better then Junk Food That Won't even help sustain the body
My hate for Weiss. Is that how I wrote it? I don't particularly hate her. She's just not one of my favorite characters. I, certainly, don't have a love for White Knight. Don't get me wrong, I see the appeal and there is potential in that relationship, but Lancaster will always be my OTP.
Guest-Oh no, Kova hooked her claws into Jaune!
Twins?! Oohh! They're rare, hardly see them. Hope they're better and relative than those twins from Junior's Club
Joto wearing her suit of armor
She's an intelligent villain.
. . . Huh. Twins ARE rare. Hm. But yeah, they're very important, especially in a future arc.
RESPECT THE ARMOR!
Guest-We got twins here?! Notice! But they don't know Kova killed their brother. There's gonna be hell pay
Kova had feelings for Giza and he turned her down to get with Joto, classic sister hatred
Let the battle begin
Oh, you have no idea.
Heh.
Battle? No. No mere battle. TIS TIME FOR WAR!
Jaune rode threw the tunnel, amazed at how fast he was going without making a sound. Then, he saw the end of the tunnel. He reeved the motorcycle, shooting out of the tunnel and landing outside of the walls of Kiburi. Jaune looked back to see the tunnel close before looking forward.
"Whoa. It's like the sun is out," he said as he looked through the visor, seeing the land before him.
"Jaune, can you read me?"
"Loud and clear, Usiku."
"That's good. Scanners are picking up a pride of Leonidas. You should be able to see them."
"They're kinda far off. WHOA," Jaune went after his visor zoomed in on the crouching Grimm. "What just-"
"What? Did I forget to mention that you're basically wearing high-tech binoculars?"
"Um. Yeah."
"You're basically wearing high-tech binoculars. Now, you're at the perfect distance to use the cannons. There is a button on the side of the handles."
The two cannons popped out, charging as the handles popped out gun triggers. Jaune watched as the armor's helm locked in on the Grimm.
"FIRE," Usiku went.
Jaune pulled the triggers, sending out purple blasts at the Leonidas. Jaune watched in awe as they were sent flying, many of them already fading away, some fading when they landed. "Okay, that was seriously awesome."
"Vibration Dust is incredibly powerful. It's one thing to say it, but experiencing it is something else entirely."
"Is there a cool down?"
"No. But don't go too trigger-happy. It might interfere with the velocity of the Black Cat. Can't have you slamming into anything, now can we? Plus, overuse could aggravate the Vibration Dust of the rest of the bike. Though it can expel kinetic energy, it can only do so when struck. Charge the bike too much, and you might as well be riding a bomb that could take out Kiburi."
"Or take out the Graveyard."
"Jaune," Usiku went in concern.
"Not the plan! Not the plan!" The visor then had warning signs, and dots appearing on both sides and the bottom. "What the-?"
"Enemy warning! You're being chased!"
Jaune looked to the side to see a pride of Leonidas chasing after him. He looked at the other side to see another. He finally looked behind him to see the final group chasing him, one roaring, sending a sound blast at Jaune. He drifted in time to avoid it, but he got closer to the other pride. Because of this, a Leonidas pounced at him, but Jaune drew Nimueh in time to stab it through the head, killing it.
When the Grimm faded away, Jaune swung Nimueh to clean her of any Grimm Dust before preparing to defend himself.
"How far off am I from the Graveyard?"
"About five miles, but more Grimm are chasing after you! It's as if the legion is chasing you!"
"Chasing me? Grimm are usually afraid of me because I have the Sword of Destruction, the only Relic that repels them. Why would they be chasing..." Jaune then looked at his sword before looking towards the Graveyard, which he could see. "They're protecting it. They see me as a threat! Usiku, we were right! The Leonidas are coming from the Graveyard!"
"Alright, with that information, even the King will be convinced to send our forces there! You've done more than enough, Jaune! Come back!"
"NOT GONNA HAPPEN!"
"WHAT?!"
"AND IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE I HAVE AN ARMY OF ANGRY CATS CHASING ME, BUT BECAUSE I'M SERIOUSLY CLOSE! BESIDES, HOW MANY SCOUTS WERE SENT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE GRAVEYARD AND THIS AGGRESSIVELY ATTACKED BY THE LEONIDAS?!"
Usiku looked toward a fellow scientist, who handed her a report sheet. She quickly skimmed through it. "We've sent a total of three scout parties toward the Graveyard, and though they were attacked, none of the ambushes were this violent!"
"It's because I have Nimueh! They know that she's the one thing that can destroy the Grimm Pool they're bound to be protecting! And if she can't do it, I'm riding something that might be able to give her a hand!"
"Jaune, this is insane! This is too dangerous for one man, even one with a goddess at his side!"
"Maybe for a man, but not for a Huntsman!" Jaune then revved up the Black cat even more before accidentally pressing another button on the handles. "WHOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOHOOHOOHOOHOOHOOOOOOOO," he went after accidentally activating the Mach Speed turbo.
In just a moment, he was right in front of the entrance to the graveyard, a long, dark, creepy canyon. He rode down it before drifting to a halt, looking back to see an army of Leonidas chasing after him, plunging up the entrance and scrambling over each other to reach him.
"Jaune, what are you doing," Usiku asked as Jaune got off the bike. "Jaune?! Get on the bike! Do it now!"
Jaune stepped forward and took an overhead slash stance.
'Ready to blow Usiku's mind, partner,' Jaune thought.
'Do you really have to ask,' Nimueh giggled out?
Jaune then began to glow, showing the activation of his Semblance. His Aura began to become brighter and brighter as it flowed into Nimueh, making the dark blade begin to glow.
The Leonidas roared and snarled as they lunged toward Jaune, jaws wide open to chomp down on the Huntsman.
"JAUNE, GET OUT OF THERE, NOW!"
A Leonidas lunged at Jaune, claws out, mouth wide open, muscles bulging, and eyes glowing bright red.
"JAAAAAUNE," Usiku screamed in desperation.
Jaune then smirked.
With a battle cry, Jaune swung a blazing Nimueh down with all his might. He sent out a massive wave of purple energy that engulfed the entire canyon, illuminating it. The guards on Kiburi's wall saw it, their eyes widening as they saw the purple light burst from the Graveyard, seemingly reaching the very heavens. One of the guards even dropped his spear, both protectors' jaws falling past their masks.
The Leonidas Grimm were screaming in agony as they were engulfed in the light, burning away even the dust and smoke they would have left behind. In mere moments, Jaune took out a massive chunk of the Grimm legion, not a trace left behind.
When Usiku saw this, her jaw dropped before she plopped into the chair one of her colleagues left behind for her. "I could develop Vibration Dust weapons for centuries, and I wouldn't be able to develop ANYTHING that powerful."
"What would you say if I told you I was holding back?"
"I'd say: Fuck you."
Jaune laughed before getting back on the Black Cat, looking toward the Graveyard. "Not gonna lie, I expected a welcoming committee at the entrance."
"Jaune, I need to warn you that no one has been able to fully explore the Graveyard. Where you are is the farthest anyone has gone, not because of the Grimm, but because of pure fear of the unknown. You are about to enter uncharted territory. We will try to help you on our end, but this will be difficult."
"When has it ever been easy," Jaune sighed. "Well, at least I have a damn good team to help me out. You ready for this, Usiku?"
"You're asking me if I'm ready? I'm not the one going into a death trap... Huntsman," she said with a smile.
Jaune chuckled before riding into The Graveyard.
Kovu was leaning against a wall, around the corner from her sister's chambers, watching her scroll. She had one of her few loyalists, a scientist working under Usiku, bug the lab. She was watching Jaune riding through the plains toward the Graveyard. She decided to act when Jaune informed Usiku he could see the cursed land and walked toward her sister's room.
She took a few breaths to prepare herself, thinking of things... that made her mad. After a few minutes, she looked convincingly furious.
"JOTO," she yelled as she pounded on the King's door. "JOTO, OPEN UP RIGHT NOW!"
Not even half a minute later, Joto opened the door to her chambers. The tall Faunus looked down at her sister, looking less than amused, wearing nothing but her bra and panties. Though, her underwear looked more like armor as if she was saying she was prepared to fight even in the dead of night.
"Sister. To what do I owe this unexpected and frankly rude visit?"
"Owe? How about the fact that I received a notification that my motorcycle is missing from the lab," Kovu growled as she held her scroll in front of her sister, Joto reading the notification.
"I do not see how this pertains to me at all. Uriku is probably test-driving it again."
"Is that so? Then what about your missing Outsider?!"
Joto's eyes widened. "What?"
"I was informed by one of my attendants that your pet human is missing! What's more, one of MY scientists told me that one of Nyeusi's armors is missing! It may have been one of the older prototypes, but it is still armor created from Vibration Dust!"
"What are you trying to say, sister?"
"I'm saying, YOUR MAJESTY," Kovu went with angry venom in her voice. "THAT YOUR PET OUTSIDER JUST RAN OFF WITH OUR TECHNOLOGY!" Kovu then took a deep breath. "Not that it will do him any good. It is impressive that he left the kingdom, but the failsafe measures will kill him the moment he reaches the beach. I'm surprised an explosion has not awakened the kingdom yet."
"Bite your tongue, Kovu! Jaune Arc is a man of honor! Much like Giza! He would not-" Joto was interrupted by an explosion.
"You were saying?"
Joto's eyes widened. "That... didn't come from the beach. That sounded like it was in... No." She ran to her balcony and looked in time to see the light fade from the Graveyard. "No. No. No! NO! THE FOOL!"
"Well, I never thought we would ever agree so readily, sister. Did you not forbid any of our people from entering the Graveyard? Only The Guard were allowed, yet you didn't even have THOSE warriors to enter. But then again, the Outsider is not one of ours."
"HOW DID HE EVEN REACH THE GRAVEYARD?! IT WOULD TAKE HOURS ON HORSEBACK!"
"But not on my STOLEN motorcycle."
"AND HOW DID HE STEAL YOUR MOTORCYCLE?! HE WOULD NEED TO ENTER THE LA... Usiku," Joto said in disappointment before walking to a wardrobe. She opened it to reveal her battle clothes, her war boots, and her trusted spear, the Lion's Reach.
Later, she and Kovu were walking down the hall, servants quickly standing out of her way after seeing the anger in their King's eyes.
"Sire," Nyekundu called as she flew up and landed next to her King. "It shames me to ask this, my King, for even though I am your Royal Advisor, I must ask you what has occurred."
"Jaune disobeyed me. He entered the Graveyard."
"HE DID WHAT," Nyekundu and Mchnaga went in unison as soon as the Meerkat reached the group, Maji right behind her friend.
"The Graveyard," Mchanga asked. "THE Graveyard?! The most forbidden place on the entire island?! Where some of the worst Grimm are said to reside?! So terrifying and scary that not even the Kings of the past and The Guard have had the guts to enter?! THAT GRAVEYARD?!"
"Correct," Joto answered.
"Oh, he's dead," Mchanga went without thinking. She jumped in fear when Joto merely glanced at her angrily.
"MY KING!" She looked to see Nyeupe walk toward her before saluting as he walked alongside her. "My guards have informed me of a strange light by the Graveyard."
"It was Jaune waging war against the Grimm on his own."
"The Outsider?! Does he dare fight our war for us?! Does he see us as weak?! We did not need his help!"
"That is not the priority now. What is the priority is getting him back to Kiburi safely. Or at least until I get my hands on him," she muttered the last part as Hekima joined them.
As they were walking, Nyeupe slowed his pace to join Kovu. "My Lord?"
"It is going accordingly," she said as she handed Nyeupe a device.
He took a quick peak at it. "For those two?"
"If they do not comply."
As soon as they reached the elevator, they saw Nyeusi already there waiting for the lift, the Head Scientist turning toward them. He saluted Joto before turning back to the elevator. Wordlessly, they all entered it, neither Nyeusi nor Joto in the mood to talk.
When the elevator reached the floor, Joto walked out the moment the elevator doors opened, nearly pushing the doors out of her way as she stomped toward the lab.
There, the guards stood straight up in respect for Joto. They saluted her before turning to the side, Kito putting in the code to open the doors.
Joto was about to walk past them before she stopped and looked at the elder twin. "Kito, answer me truthfully, did you let Jaune Arc into the lab willingly?"
The two glanced at each other before glancing around until their eyes stopped on Kovu. Kovu held up a gem.
Unfortunately for her, the twins were fiercely loyal to the woman who gave them a new life instead of punishing them as the thieves they were, out of respect for their brother. If they only had to be loyal to Joto, they would have loved Kiburi, but Kovu made it a crapshow for them. And this was a chance to mess with the bitch, so...
"Yes, my King," Kito said.
"We allowed Jaune entry," Vito continued.
"He was with-" Kito then began to groan.
Vito was also groaning, feeling as if every muscle in her body was being frozen in place.
It was that horrible sound.
The twins were Cat Faunus, but their hearing was far more sensitive than a Lion Faunus like Joto. It's why the frequency device was harming them and not Joto.
"I am disappointed in you two, as would your brother would be if he was here. We shall speak of this later," Joto said as she walked into the lab, the group following her, except for Kovu and Nyeupe.
Nyeupe deactivated the device, freeing the girls. They were both panting, holding onto their spears to keep from falling before glaring at the Lord.
"And you wonder why we don't like you," Kito said.
"As if I care about what mere thieves think of me, especially when they are about to become Outsiders."
"The hell are you on about," Vito asked.
Kovu then tossed two bags at each of them, the twins easily catching it, despite being so weakened. They opened it to see more than enough of the gems they needed to get off the island and start a new life on any of the Remnant continents.
"You're fired. You may leave," Kovu said as she walked away, Nyeupe chuckling as he smirked down at Kito before following Kovu.
The twins glared at the two before looking at each other. They then looked into the lab at Joto's back.
"Sorry, Giza. My King," Kito began, she looked to her sister. "Since we're fired, we could-"
"We can't. Not now anyway. Come on, let's go," Vito finished.
The two then took off their masks and dropped their spears, running away from the lab.
Joto and the group stormed into the lab, Nyeusi spotting his sister. "Usiku!"
The Deputy Head jumped before looking behind her. "Oh, shit."
"What is the meaning of this?! I was woken up by an explosion that shook the entire island, notified that one of my prototype suits was missing, and now I find out that the King's Guest is fighting on The Graveyard ALONE?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!"
"Brother, I can explain-"
"Uh, Usiku?"
"Not now, Jaune. Wait-"
"What am I looking at?"
Everyone looked at the screen, everyone horrified, even Kovu and Nyeupe.
On the screen was a pit filled with some of the deadliest Grimm in all of Kiburi. The Leonidas was just the tip of the iceberg.
One of the first creatures was a snake even bigger than a King Taijitu. It slithered around the pit, not noticing Jaune at all, acting more like a guard than an attacking beast.
"A Grootslang," Usiku went.
"A what," Jaune asked.
"A legendary Grimm. It is said they protect caves full of diamonds or Dust. Its power was so great that before the creation of Vibration Dust, all of Kiburi was needed to kill one of those. Even with Vibration Dust, you still need a team of highly skilled warriors like The Guard to kill one."
"And it's blocking the entrance to the deeper levels of the Graveyard. Of course, it is. WHOA," Jaune went after something flew out of the pit and landed in front of him, growling at him as three more of its kind appeared. It looked like a dinosaur.
"Kongamato," Usiku yelled in shock.
"Things got harder for me, didn't it," Jaune asked as he drew Crocea Mors and readied his shield.
"FORGET HARDER! YOU'RE OVER YOUR HEAD!"
"You might be right."
"THEN GET OUT OF THERE, GENIUS!"
"About that. Getting in was easy. Getting out..." Jaune looked back, showing everyone why he couldn't leave.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me," Usiku groaned. "A Mokèlé-mbèmbé," she said as she looked at the massive long-necked Grimm sitting in front of the exit.
"At least it's not attacking me. WHOA! CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR THESE GUYS! GONNA HAVE TO TALK TO YA LATER, USI- WHOA!" The feed showed Jaune decapitating one of the Kongamato before jumping off the fading corpse and stabbing into the other. With Crocea stuck in the second one, he drew Nimueh and slashed the head off of the final one as his Crocea was freed from the fading Kongamato.
"Alright. That could have been much worse," Jaune said. "Oh, crap."
Usiku sighed as she face palmed. "You're an idiot, Jaune."
"I know plenty of girls who would agree with you, Usiku," Jaune said as the massive head of the Grootslang moved up behind Jaune, the man only as tall as the monster's lower lip. Its flickering forked tongue even created a strong wind behind Jaune. "Okay then," he said as he looked at the Black Cat. He then lunged at the motorcycle, landing on it, and speeding around the massive snake. "BRING IT!"
The Grootslang roared at Jaune, the force of what was supposed to be its hiss creating a quake that would have made any other motorcycle topple over, but Jaune was able to speed away from the creature. When he got at a good enough range, he began to shoot at the monster, aiming for the inside of its mouth and eyes. It looked more like he was annoying the beast, the creature striking at him at speeds that would have rivaled any speed Semblance, even Ruby's. Fortunately for Jaune, it bit too soon, basically headbutting him. Unfortunately, it was like getting headbutted by a skyscraper. Jaune was able to land on drivable land, a bit dazed before shaking his head, and continuing to drive around the massive serpent.
Joto growled. "Nyeusi, get my Lion's Mane ready!"
"What?! My King, I'm nowhere close to-"
"NOW!"
Nyeusi looked at the screen before nodding in understanding, running off while typing on the hologram keypad his watch brought up. Everyone looked to see a part of the wall move forward before opening up to see a magnificent lion-based armor set. The helmet was a lion's head made out of Vibration Dust, with woven hair as large and vibrant as a lion's actual mane. The purple coloring suggested it was also made of Vibration dust. The chest plate showed that there was enough room to fit even Joto's massive breasts, with lion teeth on the collarbone of the armor. The chest looked smooth and clean as if it had never even been so much as scratched by a pebble. It didn't even look like a speck of dust ever touched it. The arm guards had claws at the end of them that looked sharp enough to cut someone just by being looked at. Finally, the boots of the armor, with wind markings carved on the side of them. It was an artistic, incredible set of armor that any ruler would kill to have.
Kovu looked at it with wide, envious eyes. 'THAT was supposed to be my sister's armor?! It's magnificent! How can something so beautiful exist?! And it looks to be perfectly made for that giant I call a sister! Damn it all!' Kovu then took a breath to calm herself. 'Calm down. When you are King, that armor will be yours.' She looked at the screen in time to see Jaune being sent flying by the slam of the Grootslang's massive tail that looked as big as a King Taijitu. Seeing it made Kovu smirk. 'Which might be sooner than I think.'
Joto was already putting on her armor, easily putting it on herself as if she had done so countless before.
"Unlike the armor I made for Giza, The Lion's Mane is made out of Vibration Dust, even the woven hair. Heat resistant, cold resistant, electrically insulated to the point the wearer will not even experience so much as a tingle from electrical attacks, and virtually indestructible IF IT WAS COMPLETED. Most of the resistant features are far below expectations. Though it is self-repairing, it is nowhere near the level it would have been if finished. Enough damage will destroy the armor, much like what Jaune Arc is wearing."
Kovu liked what she was hearing.
"But there was one aspect I was able to complete. Point your hand at the wall." Joto followed her Head Scientist's instructions. "Now tell it to fire." Joto thought the order, her claws shooting out of her glove. She looked at her hand, watching the claws regrow. "That is the only part of the suit that regrows as instantaneous as I wish for the rest of the armor to do so. You officially have infinite ammunition at the palm of your fingertips. Snap your fingers."
Joto did so, a small explosion occurring. More like a firework pop. "Let me guess: you manually lowered the Vibration's power?"
"To about... 0.001 percent. I will increase it to one hundred when you leave Kiburi."
"That is all I need to know. Ready my horse."
"Um, My King," Usiku began. "We have plenty of vehicles you could use. Like, prototypes of my Black Ca-"
"My horse!"
"It's alright, Usiku. I had something prepared for this. Something I think you might approve of, My King."
Joto looked at Nyeusi, her raised eyebrow hidden by her helmet.
Joto's hidden eyes widened before she snickered, which became a full-on laugh. "By the ancestors. And here I thought you couldn't become more beautiful, Upepo." The armored horse whinnied as he reared up in what looked like a triumph.
"Pure Vibration Dust Horse Armor. It was much easier to make this than the Lion's Mane. This armor is absolutely indestructible. What's more, it protects the entire stead."
"Uh, his legs are bare," Mchanga pointed out.
Nyeusi took out a gun and shot four times at the horse's legs. All four bullets literally bounce off, with Upepo not reacting at all. He was trained to be as fearless as his rider, after all.
"The Vibration Dust is at its full potential, creating an invisible force field around its wearer. Something has to be extremely powerful to even so much as sting Upepo now, and unless there is a bomb comparable to the one used in the Death of Atlas at the Graveyard, nothing will harm your horse."
BOOM
Joto sighed. "What was that about bombs comparable to the Death of Atlas?"
"My King?"
"Yes, my Head Scientist?"
"What force of nature did you allow into our kingdom?"
"I am honestly wondering that myself."
"Usiku, what happened," Nyeusi asked into his watch.
'It's Jaune, brother. He defeated the Grootslang, but the fool is going deeper into the Graveyard! I'm monitoring his Aura levels. He just recharged to full power, but the suit is in critical condition. It's only a matter of time before it's nothing more than a skintight suit that will be torn apart, and the suit's scanners show that he's surrounded by the ACTUAL Grimm army!'
"Actual?"
'The Leonidas we were fighting? It was just a drop in the bucket. The forces surrounding Jaune. . . it's five times the size.'
That shocked everyone there. There's no way Kiburi's defenses would be able to handle a force that huge if it was unleashed, and Jaune's fighting it alone.
"I need to go," Joto yelled as she mounted her stead.
"Don't you mean WE need to, sire," Nyekundu asked.
Joto sighed. "My friend, this is too much for... Ooh," she went when she saw her Advisor.
Nyekundu was in her own armor, her wings covered by Vibration Dust plates, the feathers obviously as sharp as blades, her breastplate much flatter than her King's (since she was an A-Cup).
"You didn't need to mention that," Nyekundu yelled.
Her armor also had tail feathers that were as long as swords, gauntlets and boots that both had sharpened talons and an intimidating beaked helmet. Of course, she also had her trust throwing axes to finish her look.
"You look ready for war, old friend," Joto said with pride in her voice.
"Well, My King," Mchanga said as she walked up, also wearing armor, Maji walking up with her own armor. "We literally are."
Joto nodded before looking at Nyeupe with a serious gaze. "My general, right now you are my mightiest warrior. Can I rely on you in this war as well?"
"My King... I feel dishonored that you would ask me this. It shows how little faith you have in me! I am the General of Kiburi! It is my sworn duty to protect this kingdom from all, not cower as an Outsider protects our land FOR US! I AM GENERAL NYEUPE, HEAD OF THE WHITE GORILLA TRIBE AND PROTECTOR OF KIBURI! ON THIS DAY, THE GRAVEYARD SHALL BE CONQUERED!"
Mchanga couldn't believe it, but she actually wanted to cheer alongside Nyeupe, despite the two HATING each other. However, she and the rest of the team did.
"Nyeupe, I regret to say I never made armor for you, my friend," Nyeusi said with genuine regret. "Only Giza and the King."
"Save your sympathy, Panther." Chanting was then heard. They all looked at the entrance to see more Gorilla Faunus walk into the stables, carrying armor. It was of a cape with the upper jaw of a white gorilla, clawed gauntlets, and clawed boots. It was obvious that the armor was ancient and even more obvious that it wasn't augmented by even a sliver of Vibration Dust. Nyeupe practically quick-changed into it.
"Nyeupe, this will be far more difficult than the Great Battle of the Tribes that created Kiburi in the first place," Nyeusi began. "You have to at least let me-"
"DO NOT TOUCH MY PEOPLE'S BIRTHRIGHT," he roared. "You may rely on your new Dust and The Guard before then, but my tribe has always relied on the strength and power given to us by the God of Animals himself," he said as he raised his fist. "We need no aid in battle." His people cheered in agreement. "IN MY ABSENCE, YOU ARE TO PROTECT KIBURI WITH YOUR VERY LIVES! IF SO MUCH AS A GRIMM RAT ENTERS YOUR SIGHT, TEAR IT TO PIECES!" The Gorilla Faunus chanted their war cry, pretty much giving their chief their word.
Joto stared at the White Gorilla Tribe before looking at her sister. "Kovu."
"Yes, sister?"
"By right, you are in charge while I am away. Protect this kingdom in my absence."
Kovu stared at her sister before doing something that only Joto had ever seen her sister do: she saluted her King. "I love this Kingdom, sister. I will defend it with my life, but only if you vow to return."
Joto stared at her sister before getting off her horse and walking up to the much smaller Lion Faunus. She then hugged Kovu. "I will return, sister." She then leaped back onto her horse, her main group mounting their horses.
Nyeupe whistled, an actual armored rhino walking out, ready to be ridden by its master. Before Nyeupe walked away, Kovu grabbed his arm. He looked at her before kneeling down.
"Make sure my sister and the Outsider return alive."
Nyeupe looked confused. "The King I understand, but the Outsider?"
"You will be seen as a hero worthy of trust if you bring him back, Nyeupe. Earn the people's trust."
"I see. I understand, My Lord."
"Just use the Outsider as what he now is: a weapon. If he can rid our island of the Grimm without any of our people being sacrificed, then he has proven useful. With him and The Guard gone, there will be no more obstacles standing in the way. As for my sister, I want to be there... when she 'personally bestows the kingdom' to her rightful successor: me. She must not be a martyr if I am to become accepted and adored as King."
Nyeupe smirked. "As you wish... my future King."
