The Mask of Zorro 4
Jaune goes in as Zorro but in a improvise costume.
Disclaimers: I own nothing
That night, Jaune puts on a Zorro mask and looks at the his reflection in the water and says this.
"Zorro, you look better than ever." Jaune/Zorro then splash the water and then wipe his wet hands with his improvise cape.
"That's the Zorro costume?" Ruby said after seeing the costume looks nothing like in the beginning.
"Improvise Zorro costume first everyone", Hakaze said to Ruby and the others.
"Oh so they haven't made a new actual Zorro costume yet", Ren said.
"Not yet, but for now it's improvise."
"Usually when you need to take action, sometimes you need improvise when you got nothing on you", James understands some items need to be improvise when they don't have the actual thing.
Jaune/Zorro then gets a encounter from Pyrrha who was just out on her horse. Pyrrha gets a little startle after running into Jaune/Zorro and he kindly shush her and tells her this.
"Be careful, my Lady, there are dangerous men about." Jaune/Zorro warns her about dangerous men around the area.
"Well, if you see any, be sure to point them out." Pyrrha said before Jaune/Zorro leaves her but they glance at each one last time before he leaves for his mission.
For some reason, Pyrrha takes an unexpected interest and liking to him. Some in the audiences really like where this is going when it comes to Jaune and Pyrrha Arkos couple.
"Love at first site?" Yang ask which cause both Jaune and Pyrrha to blush.
"Oh my", Melissa said hoping to get Pyrrha as a Daughter in Law, even be a grandmother, even Pyrrha's parents feel the same too.
"Melissa you've been like that ever since we seen other films where are son is a couple with Pyrrha Nikos." Tyzone said to his wife.
Next Jaune/Zorro was able to find where the Black Stallion is being kept while Cordovin and her Nimbus Troops are busy chatting with each other not knowing Jaune/Zorro is there. Jaune/Zorro grabs the Horse ride back and quickly puts it on the black stallion without any problems.
"Listen. I'm going to give you the great honor, of being my horse." Jaune/Zorro said and the Black Stallion made a sound on the agreement and he then rides on the back.
"We are like one spirit." Jaune/Zorro but when he gives the Black Stallion the go time to ride, the Black Stallion instead rocks him back in fort.
"Damn it! Stop!" Jaune/Zorro has no avail as the audiences laugh.
"I bet he wasn't expecting that to happen", Sun said while laughing.
"Well it's rocking time", Neptune said while joining in the laughter.
"I just hope Jaune doesn't kill in this one", Pyrrha worried about Jaune safety in this mission.
"Not to worry Pyrrha, Jaune will be fine", Hakaze assures Pyrrha and everyone else that Jaune is walking out of there alive.
They smashes through the door where Cordovin and her troops are and many of them scatter while Cordovin hides behind cover. 2 Nimbus armed E-5 Blaster Rifles takes aim to shoot Jaune/Zorro, but the black stallion back kicks them both in the face. Jaune/Zorro falls off as the Black Stallion's ruckus keeps Cordovin and her Nimbus troops distracted, Jaune/Zorro did punch one out of the way before getting back into the horse.
"Go, go, go!" But Jaune/Zorro falls out the horse again after crashing into the broken door that easily knocks off and the Black Stallion leaves him behind.
Jaune/Zorro gets back on his feet and finds himself surrounded by dozens of Nimbus Commandos and Cordovin herself.
"Can he take them all on?" James ask if Jaune can handle all of them.
"If Cordovin and her Troops are incompetent, then yeah Jaune can take them all on", Hakaze said but also insults Cordovin because like the rest of Atlas, she doesn't like Cordovin's attitude.
"Get him!" Cordovin said as she and the her boys gobble Jaune/Zorro up but he was able get of there because the gobbling is keeping them distracted.
After getting out of that problem, he makes a run for it but more obstacles in his way and grabs a rope and gets up to the upper floor, but with more Nimbus Troops in the way and he had to get down to avoid them. Jaune/Zorro gets inside a barred fence gate which all the Nimbus shove all of their Skana Swords into the bars and Jaune/Zorro close the gate leaving all of their swords stuck in there. He then was able grab a Skana Sword and Sheev Dagger, after fighting many of them he was able to tangle all of their swords with his own while kicking anyone trying to attack him from the left or right.
"Whoa, they are so incompetent", James comment on how poorly Cordovin and her Nimbus Troops fights.
"Well I guess Jaune can easily get out there then", Sun said believe Jaune will get out of there freely.
Jaune/Zorro was able to break free and backs up to the exit but bumps into a big guy whom then rattles him causing to drop the sword and dagger in the process. Jaune/Zorro turns around but bumps into the big guy which turns out to be Hazel Rainhart, Cordovin and her Nimbus Troops laugh as Hazel grabs Jaune/Zorro and throws him in a distances away from them. Hazel gets stopped by Cordovin who ask him this.
"Hazel", Ozpin said after seeing on screen.
"Brother", Gretchen said after seeing on screen.
"I get this feeling that Arc boy is going to defeat me", Hazel commented with the feeling he will go down.
"Kill him." Cordovin said as Hazel prepares to kill Jaune/Zorro but he grabs 2 cannonballs in his hand.
Hazel grabs Jaune/Zorro by the color as he prepares to kill him, Jaune/Zorro counters by hitting him on the cheeks multiple times with the cannonballs and the final stuns Hazel causing him to let go, Hazel walks toward Cordovin and her Nimbus and he spits out all of his teeth and collapse on the floor.
"See? What did I tell you all", Hazel said to everyone.
"He knock all of your teeth out", Watts said to him.
"That we all saw Arthur", Hazel said to him.
Cordovin and her Nimbus Troops turn around to see Jaune/Zorro with a Artillery Cannon armed in ready which terrified them, Jaune/Zorro has a torch and lights it up. Then Cordovin and her Nimbus ran away as the cannon fires blowing a hole at the exit.
"Zorro! The legend has returned!" Jaune/Zorro celebrates but accidently lights some black gunpower up when he toss the torch aside.
"That black stuff is gun power and highly explosive", Hakaze said what that stuff is.
"It's not dust is it?" Weiss ask.
"No it isn't."
Jaune/Zorro quickly grabs the barrel of gunpower to get it away from exploding, but the flaming gunpower is following him because there is a hole in the barrel.
"WHOOOOAAA! WHOOOOOOOAAAA!" Jaune/Zorro bolts out of the garrison and toss the barrel away as the gunpower explodes destroying the entire garrison completely.
"Talk about a big explosion", Nora said laughing at the scene.
"Well at least Jaune got out of there alive", Pyrrha said feeling grateful along with the others who care about Jaune.
Jaune/Zorro takes cover somewhere, then moves on to hide somewhere until it's clear for him to escape the base. Well he choose the church where he sees Taiyang preaching until Jaune/Zorro quiets him.
"Don't yell. I need sanctuary, Father. You don't know me", Jaune/Zorro ask and said but Taiyang knows that mask even without the hat.
"Zorro! Of course I know you. Zorro, is it really you? The years have been kinder to you than to me."
"I have no time to talk now. Father, please, hide me."
"Come. It's just like the old days." Tai said and hides Jaune/Zorro in a confessing box like room.
"Still a priest Tai?" Summer ask him.
"I'm still like that aren't I Hakaze?"
"Yeah."
Jaune takes off his Zorro mask as rest up a bit until it's clear for him get out, but he wasn't expecting someone else in there with him.
"Father, is that you? Is everything all right? It sounds like there is a battle going on." It turns out to be Pyrrha, well most likely Tai was unaware that Pyrrha was there too
"Jaune, you better try your best pretending to be a priest because dad won't be there to help this time", Yang said to him.
"That Jaune can, not me", Jaune answer Yang.
"Well see how that goes", Yang said to him.
"Try your best Jaune", Pyrrha said to him while staying close to him.
"Don't worry, my dear. You are safe in the house of the Lord." Well Jaune does his best pretending to be a priest.
"Yeah, he's doing his best", Sun said after seeing what he got.
"Of course, Father. Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last confession." Pyrrha said to him knowing it isn't Taiyang she is talking to.
"How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, please."
"Excuse me?" Well Jaune will have stick around for a while after hearing Pyrrha ask that.
"Listen, my Lady, Please, go on."
"I dishonored my father."
"That is not so bad. Maybe your father deserved it."
"What did you say?" Pyrrha didn't catch that.
"I said, tell me more, my child."
"Well, I try to behave properly, the way my father would like me to. But I'm afraid my heart is too wild.
"Too wild?"
"Yes."
"Could you be more specific?"
"I had impure thoughts about a man. I did. I think he was a bandit or something. He wore a black mask." Pyrrha is talking about her first encounter with Zorro which she had no idea was Jaune and he's with her in that confession box.
"Is she talking about her encounter with Zorro?" Neptune ask if that what she's talking about.
"Mostly yes she is", Weiss said to him.
"He had a deep voice?"
"Yes."
"Ruggedly handsome?"
"His face was half-covered. But something in his eyes captured me." Pyrrha is really taken an interest in him.
"Captured you."
"I felt warm and feverish."
"Lustful?"
"Yes, lustful. Forgive me."
"I forgive you. Look over there, by the altar." Jaune said to Pyrrha but then Cardin and his Nimbus Troops enters the church.
"Search everything. The chapel, the loft, the rectory, all of it." Cardin gave them their orders as Taiyang confronts him.
"This is a house of the Brother Gods." Tai is trying to get them leave.
"Don't worry, Sir, we'll be gone by the time he gets back." Cardin said they will leave once Zorro is outside again.
"Unfortunately, someone like Cardin don't care that it's bad for Soldiers to raid a church", Hakaze said to the audiences.
Jaune realize he has to leave now and finish up with Pyrrha.
"My Lady, you have done nothing wrong. The only sin would be to deny what your heart truly feels. Now, go." And with that Pyrrha steps out while Jaune finds his own way out.
"Pyrrha. What are you doing here?" Cardin ask her after finding her there.
"I was confessing." Pyrrha said which gave Cardin some confusion.
"Confessing? To whom? The priest is here." Cardin said but notice the close door of the confessing room.
"Stand back, Pyrrha. Please." Cardin then pulls out his SE-14 Blaster Pistol and fires much to Pyrrha and Tai along with the audiences shock.
Cardin opens the door only to find nobody there expect for a cut open sealing and then puts his Gun away and turns to Pyrrha and Tai. Well everyone is grateful that Jaune got of there alive.
"Out of respect for Miss Gele, I'll deal with you later." Cardin said and the scene changes.
"Oh thank goodness Jaune manage to get out of there before Cardin can pull that trigger", Saphron said feeling grateful along with the others.
"I just want to say, what's with Cardin always pulling the trigger?" Yang asked.
"You already know", Hakaze tells Yang that she and everybody knows already.
Jaune/Zorro is back on the roof and finds the Black Stallion who's occupied eating from the grass.
"Horse! Come here. Horse!" But the Black Stallion doesn't respond to him for some reason.
"Blackie! Thunder! Storm! Stupid! Get over here now!" Jaune/Zorro said and still he gets no response while most in the audiences laugh at the scene.
"I warn you. I'll get another horse." Jaune/Zorro said until he pause for moment to think, until he whistle and now the Black Stallion got his full attention.
"Maybe you should have thought about that", Mercury said to Jaune.
"Hey it's not like the whistle came into mind first of all", Jaune said and some do agree that things don't come into mind first of all.
Jaune/Zorro jumps off the roof to ride on the Horse but that Black Stallion moves away causing Jaune/Zorro to hit the ground instead much the laughter of most of the audiences. Jaune/Zorro sits up and looks at the Horse who shrieks at him, anyway Jaune/Zorro gets on the horse and they ride away but not before Jaune pulls out his Krohkur Sword and carve a Z on the wall to let them know that Zorro is back.
"Well at least Jaune knows that he needs to leave and let everyone know that Zorro is back", Pyrrha said.
"And Zorro is going to save everyone like before", Sam said next.
"But before that happens, they need to know what Jacque is up to first, Sam has a plan for that", Hakaze said to them.
"Wonder what he has in mind for that", Ozpin wonders along with the others.
Back at the lair, Sam is whipping many of the candles light without damaging the candles until Jaune returns with the Black Stallion.
"So? What do you think?" Jaune ask but Sam turns and finish his last candle with whip and Jaune comes in front of him.
"Sam, I got the black stallion, I carved a "Z" in the", but Sam interrupts him but whipping sideways.
"The people will be speaking the name of Zorro again." Jaune said which was the plan that he and Sam wanted.
"You think stealing a horse and scratching marks on the wall makes you worthy enough with that mask?" Sam ask and whips that mask tearing and Jaune takes it off.
"Be careful."
"What is with you!?" Pyrrha ask her father.
"What is the problem with you?!" Pelina ask her husband.
"Don't mind him, because Sam knows Zorro all too well and Jaune is doing a opposite of it", Hakaze said to them.
"But you'll see what I mean by that."
"You're a thief, Jaune. A pitiful clown. Zorro was a servant of the people, protector of the innocent, not a seeker of fame or adventurer like you." Sam said who Zorro really is and not the style of Jaune before he whips the cape off.
"Oh so that's who Zorro really is, it's just because Jaune doing an opposite of that", Ruby said after hearing what Sam explained.
"But in time Jaune will do it the way it's supposed to be", Hakaze said next.
"Zorro did what was needed." Sam said to Jaune.
"Now he is needed again. I didn't ask for your help in the cantina, but I came here to learn how to fight like you. To have your strength, your courage. Now when I try to use them, you slap me down? Let me tell you something. I am tired of all your training, your lecturing. I am tired of waiting for you to tell me I am ready. I have my own scores to settle, a new life to find. I thought I could do it here, but I was wrong." Jaune mentions his attention on being here and being Zorro to begin with and leaves.
"I takes patience to be ready", Ozpin mentions that patience is a virtue.
"Always", Salem said to him while their daughters cradles on them.
"Jaune!" Sam stops him from leaving.
"En garde!" Sam said and Jaune turns to him
"Choose your weapon." Sam said and Jaune grabs his sword but Sam pulls out a spoon and then will tell him about their next plan.
"A spoon?" Emerald mutters after seeing Sam pull out a spoon instead a Sword.
"Sam is not going to fight him, Sam will tell Jaune what's the next move."
"Okay then", Emerald said.
"Jacque Gele has invited every Nobility in Shade to a banquet. If you want to be of service, you can join them as a spy." Sam mentions what's Jacque's planning before slapping the sword away with the spoon.
"I think I do not understand, Sam." Jaune said but Sam will give a full detail.
"You have passion, Jaune, and your skill is growing. But I must give you something which is beyond your reach."
"Yes? What is that?"
"Charm."
"And what is that?"
"Convince Jacque that you are a gentleman of stature, and he will let you into his circle."
"Me? A gentleman? This is gonna take a lot of work."
"Yes." Sam said while blowing his smoke.
"Please no smoking."
"I don't smoke Melissa."
"So that's the plan, Jaune will go undercover as a Noble in order to get Jacque to trust him and become a member of his Inner Circle and know what he's planning", Winter says what's the plan.
"Oh yes Winter, it's plan to get intel", James said to her.
End
Coming up next, it's to get Jaune undercover as a member of Jacque Gele's inner circle, even get a dance with Pyrrha.
