The Mask of Zorro 5
Time to get Jaune into becoming a member of Jacque's inner circle.
Disclaimers: I own nothing
Jaune and Sam in disguise arrive at the Jacque's household with many guest going into the party, well this certainly a good plan to get Jaune into Jacque's inner circle.
"Look at me. I look like a butterfly. This is the most stupid thing I've ever done." Jaune said muttering on looking like a real noble.
"I doubt that." Sam said to him.
"We'll never get away with this."
"Yes, we will. A nobleman is a man who says one thing and thinks another." Sam knows they can keep Jacque fooled as they get into being part of his inner circle.
"What if Jacque realizes who you are?" Jaune wonders what will happen if Jacque realizes who Sam really is.
"Jacque thinks of himself as a true nobleman. He will never look a servant in the eye. Listen to me. Listen to me! Most important thing of all, do not let the Nobles leave the table without you." Sam says to Jaune on what the plan is.
"Yes, Sam."
"Good luck tonight."
"Thank you."
"Stand up straight. Charm."
"Charm." After that, they get inside to meet with Jacque who's with Pyrrha.
"That's quite a outfit for a noble", Coco said like their outfit, but somewhat.
"As long as they poise as Nobles, they keep Jacque fool and figure out what's he planning while being part of the Inner circle", James said knowing what their plan is.
"The question is, how can they gain Jacque's trust which will get him to allow the both of them into the inner circle", Winter wonders.
"I pretty sure they already have plan already for that", Nicholas said to Winter.
"Sir Jacque Gele? Good evening." Jaune takes off his hat and kindly bows to him like any proper nobility.
"I am Sir Jaune Cotta." Jaune introduce himself but only using a fake family name which is cotta which surprises both Saphron and Terra.
"Whoa, he's using my family name", Terra comment.
"They can't allow Jacque to know about Jaune's real family name as an Arc, so for now it's Jaune Cotta", Hakaze gives out the details.
"Oh and Sam is posing as Jaune's servant."
"Servant huh?"
"Now's not the time Sam", Pelina said to him.
"The formal Atlesian greeting. I have not seen that in years."
"My father was very strict."
-"Who is your father?"
"Tyzone Cotta."
"I have heard of him, but never had the pleasure of meeting him."
"I arrived last week from Atlas. I am inspecting my family's holdings." Jaune makes up what he can to fool Jacque on who he really is.
"Good, Jacque is falling for it", James said liking that the deception is working just fine.
"I guess this plan is going to work after all", Weiss said with a smile while Jacque quietly growls for his counterpart falling for the trick.
"What brings you here?" Jacque ask while still falling for Jaune's deception.
"I heard you were back in Shade and knew I must introduce myself."
"And you are a man of vision?"
"I am a man in search of a vision. But my timing is unfortunate. I have interrupted a party. Perhaps I could call again?"
"No, it would honor me for you to join us.
"No, it would honor me to do so, sir."
"Please allow me to introduce my daughter, Pyrrha." Well Jaune takes Pyrrha's hand and gives her the proper greeting.
"Charmed. I'm afraid I have brought no gift for the hostess, but wait a moment." What Jaune does is do a magic trick that shows a red flower that he gives to Pyrrha who kindly accepts it.
"Thank you." Pyrrha thanks him and smells the red flower.
"That's sweet of you Jaune", Pyrrha said to him.
"Yeah Pyrrha", Jaune said blushing red.
"Jaune knows magic tricks in this movie", Nora said wagging her legs around next to Ren.
"A pleasure. Bernardo, pick up your feet." Jaune and Sam get on with the party.
"Oh Sam's disguise name is Bernardo", Hakaze said to everyone.
"Well as long as it keeps our cover."
Next scene is Pyrrha out looking for Jaune and found him in a table alone.
"Sir Jaune. My father and I would like you to join us at our table."
"I would be delighted, my Lady." Jaune accepts it and they kindly take each other's hand and walk to the table where Jacque is gather with all of the members of his inner circle who also Nobles.
"Jaune, I'm so pleased you could join us. Gentlemen, allow me to introduce Sir Jaune Cotta. Recently returned from Atlas. This is Captain Cardin Winchester. Not a Noble, but a kindred spirit." Both Jaune and Cardin shake hands, well Jaune was able to keep his cool and pretends that he doesn't know him.
"Are you not the man who was chasing a legendary bandit recently?" Jaune is referring to Roman Torchwick.
"He was hardly legendary."
"So you caught him?"
"It's only a matter of time. The bandit may have escaped, but the rest of us will think twice before going to confession.
"Thank you."
"Well it's good that Jaune was able keep cool so he doesn't blow his cover", Pyrrha said knowing that Jaune wants revenge on Cardin for what he did Saphron.
"I wonder what happen to me", Roman wonders where has he been.
"Oh will see you again Roman", Hakaze said to him, although she knows what he's final fate will be.
"Until these people are free to govern themselves, I think we will see many more Z's carved into walls. Jaune, what do you think?" Pyrrha is now referring to Zorro and wants to know what Jaune thinks, but he doe have something say to keep his cover.
"I think sheep will always need a shepherd. But certainly not this Zorro creature. He probably wears the mask to hide his bald head and unsightly features." What Jaune said made many the inner circle members to laugh, although that's not funny for the audiences who support Zorro, but understands that Jaune is just trying to keep his cover.
"Some would call him heroic. Heroism, a romantic illusion. Much like nobility." Pyrrha says her opinion about Zorro.
"Pyrrha, that is enough." Jacque gets to her to stop now.
"I would think heroism is something to aspire to, not sneer at. All that playing swords, shooting guns, racing around on horses, gives me a frightful headache. Such sweaty pursuits are hardly the work of a gentleman."
"And what is? Climbing in and out of carriages?" Pyrrha ask him what it is.
"No, my dear. But increasing one's holdings so as to provide lavish comfort for ladies. Such as yourself.
"A woman's grasp of politics."
"What can I say?" The conversation ends with Cardin stands up from his chair.
"We're at a party, aren't we? Pyrrha, may I have the honor of this dance?" Cardin ask Pyrrha to dance with her much to the audience who do not like that sort of idea.
"If I want to dance with somebody, I prefer it was Jaune", Pyrrha said that only Jaune she would dance with.
"Not to worry Pyrrha, you'll get your chance with him", Hakaze mentions.
"You mean Jaune will dance with me right?"
"Yep."
"I would be glad to." Pyrrha accepts but it won't actually last long.
Everyone is enjoying the party while Cardin and Pyrrha are dancing among the others but stop when Jaune is standing in front of them.
"Yes? Were you looking for something?" Pyrrha ask him.
"A sense of the miraculous in everyday life."
"Oh, really? Look someplace else. The lady and I were trying to dance." Cardin said but Jaune is trying to get Jacque's trust which will allow him to part of his inner circle and learn what's he planning.
"You were trying. She was succeeding. Forgive me, captain. A shameless joke at your expense. I hope it will not be the last. Jacque wants you back. Now." After Cardin leaves, Jaune and Pyrrha dance briefly until the song is finished.
"Short dance for Vomit-Boy and P-Money", Yang said after the song just finish when they started dancing.
"Jaune has something mind to be sure that he dance with Pyrrha longer and gain Jacque's trust", Hakaze said to her.
"Well let's hope it works", Blake said to her.
"Oh it will work."
"Should we try something more robust, or do you feel unequal to the task?" Jaune ask her.
"No, on the contrary. I think only of your distaste for perspiration." Pyrrha said to him and he goes to the conductor.
"Maestro." Jaune said as the rest of the other dancers get into the ground.
Jaune and Pyrrha dancing in a better way while Sam among the crowd watches them and smile as Jaune spins Pyrrha around and makes some stands. Lastly Jacque walking with inner circle spots Jaune dancing with Pyrrha and walks up to them after the dance is finally over and everyone cheered.
(Notes: The Dance with Alejandro and Elena is hard for me to know what their moves are, but I still remember the entire scene)
"I never seen that kind of dance before", Ren comment about the kind of dance that Jaune and Pyrrha did on screen.
"I think it was very romantic", Weiss makes her comment next.
"Different kind of dance we did Jaune", Pyrrha said to him.
"Yeah, I was wearing a girl's dress, but there I'm disguise as a noble." Some have some thoughts when they saw Jaune wearing a girl's dress for his own reasons.
"But this better get Jacque to put Jaune in his inner circle and learn what he's planning for Shade", Glynda said to them.
"Well, that is the way they are dancing in Madrid these days. Excuse me, Jacque, I need to catch my breath. Your daughter is a very spirited dancer." Jaune said as Pyrrha leaves the dance floor.
"Spirited. Thank you for putting it so delicately." Jacque thank Jaune for saying something very kind.
"I apologize if you're offended."
"No, no, no. Completely unnecessary, I assure you. She is young and impulsive, but her beauty is beyond compare. And she has her father's commanding presence." Jacque said and was about leave but Jaune has something else to say to him.
"Jacque. Was there anything else you wanted me to know?"
"Join us in the courtyard. There is something I want to share with you." Jacque will now accept Jaune to be part of his inner circle.
"What is that?"
"A vision."
"Looks we are going to see what Jacque's plans are now that Jaune is accept into his inner circle", Ruby said.
"We all wonder what it could be?" Yang wonders along the rest.
"Also it could be the vision that Jacque is planning for Vacuo", Ozpin said next.
End
Coming up next, Jaune now part of Jacque's inner circle gets to see what Jacque's planning and sees the mine full of slaves.
