What? Never Leaving the Curse Island?!
"H-Hold on, what do you mean I'm gonna be stuck on this island forever?" Jaune panicked from the way Raven said earlier about being stuck on Remnant Island.
"I could tell you, but long explanations aren't really my thing and the lectures our elder give us are pretty boring to listen to." Raven said scratching the back of his head.
"Sounds like a delinquent to me." Jaune said, earning a scary glare from Raven as she looks back that spend shivers down his Jaune.
"Anyway, if you want to learn about the island then you can either ask the elder or our leader Salem." Raven mentioned two people.
"You guys have a leader?" Jaune asked.
"Huh, duh, doesn't every country on the outside world have leaders like mayors and stuff?" Ruby asked rhetorically.
"Touché." Jaune said, seeing there she's going with.
"Salem is pretty much the big deal of the island; you could say she's a mix of horribly scary and sexy beautiful into one." Yang described of how she views Salem.
"I'm… not sure if that's even possibly to put those two together…" Jaune weirded out as he sweatdrops.
"Well, she's not far off from that. You see, Salem is known for being the most beautiful woman on the whole island with few rivals that could almost match her, but when it comes to fighting, she is like a monster destroying those who would dare to stand against her and leave nothing behind." Pyrrha detailed about the leader which made Jaune feel scared.
"Believe or not, Pyrrha is one of the rivals of beauty giving her in third place." Yang revealed.
"What… really?!" Jaune gasped.
"It's nothing to brag about, I'm actually more into becoming a strong warrior though I do like to keep my appearance clean." Pyrrha said.
"Though you should watch out for the one in second place, she's a really hard girl to impress." Yang warned the blonde boy.
"Okay, I hope I don't end up getting on her bad side." Jaune gulped.
"Don't worry, she's usually more friendly despite her scary appearance, so I'm sure you'll get along with her." Ruby reassured.
Even with the support and cheering from Ruby and Pyrrha, Jaune still feels nervous about that is happening to him right now like literally being dragged through the ocean until he washed up on a beach of an island that is apparently home to a female-only island. There is also the fact that Jaune is now the first male to set foot on this island in 400 years which is weird to him wondering on how the women on this island survived through the 4 centuries without any male to help to give to the next generations.
The thought of being surrounded by only females on the island is also making him extremely nervous upon all this, especially when it comes to his hormone when it comes to meeting cute girls like the ones he is walking with right now. Let's hope he'll be able to control himself, but that's going to be harder than he thinks.
"Hey Raven, I see you're back from your break." A girl called out to Raven.
They look ahead to see a teenage girl about a year older than Yang and Pyrrha standing in front of a red Torii gate. She has fair skin, short dark-brown hair and dark-brown eyes. She has wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts as a dark brown and transitions to caramel. She wears a long, cocoa-colored shirt with a dark brown waist cincher, black jeans and matching high-heels, and what appears to be gold-shaped bullets on the strap of her bag. She also wears sunglasses. Breasts sizes: E-cup.
"Hello there, Coco, thank you for taking over while I was away, anything to report?" Raven asked.
"Nothing as usual, which of really booorring for me… Although I did saw Nora running away from a very angry Weiss." Coco answered.
"Nora must've made Weiss mad again." Ruby sighed.
Coco notice Jaune standing between Yang and Pyrrha.
"Who's that? Don't think I've seen her around the island." Coco asked curious.
"That's because HE is not from this island, this boy is from the outside world." Raven revealed which caught Coco off guard.
"Wait, what… this one is really a male?!" Coco asked shock, Raven and the girls nodded in response.
"H-Hello, my name is Jaune Arc and I hope we get along!" Jaune introduced himself nervous and bow.
"Uh, I thought men would be the scary types but you're less scary and more friendly-looking. Cute too." Coco complimented making Jaune blush from being called cute.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, I'm Coco Adel, one of the Remnant Fighters." Coco greeted with a smile as she pulls down her dark shades a little.
"(Why is she looking at me like that?)" Jaune thought asked nervous.
"I'm take Jaune to the elder and is Salem there by any chance?" Raven asked.
"The elder is there, but Salem is off on her "Wandering the Island" walk now." Coco informed.
"I swear, that woman just doesn't know when to sit down and take her job more seriously." Raven sighed, knowing how the leader can be at times when she wants to do her own thing.
"That just how Salem is these days." Coco shrugged.
"(So, this Salem woman likes go out on walks. That's kinda relaxing to get your mind off the hard work part.)" Jaune thought.
"Come on, we'll just meet the elder then." Raven gestured the others to follow her.
"Tell her I said hi, and have fun surviving Jaune!" Coco waved goodbye.
"Surviving?" Jaune confused and scared of what she meant.
As Jaune follows the girls and the older woman he looks around as they just entered the village becoming amaze of seeing place up close, some of the buildings are small while others are bigger and there are other women working on the field like farmers in the old fashion way. Everything seem peaceful until Jaune went pale when he saw one of the woman pulling out a very large carrot that's about bigger than a man and she was able to lift it with one arm, then he saw another woman carrying a wheel-cart over her head as she runs to drop them off somewhere.
"Woah! The women here are strong!" Jaune shocked.
"Yep, here we do anything ourselves with just our bare hands even plowing the fields ourselves instead of using horses. We also train hard to become a Remnant Fighter which are one of the strongest fighters on the island, along with Coco you just met, me and Pyrrha are one too." Yang explained proudly.
Most of the women, or perhaps all of the, have stopped working when they saw Raven walking with the three young girls and became shock to see someone new walking besides them wondering who that is and started to notice the person doesn't much of a female like them which made them more curious about this one.
"Hey look, there's mom's workshop!" Ruby pointed at the store and seeing a woman waiting outside talking to a young girl.
This woman is Ruby's mom, almost appeared to be the spitting image of Ruby, having the same silver eyes, fair complexion, and graduating black-into-red hair. She has shoulder length hair tied back in a half-up/half-down style and wears a similar outfit to her daughter's but all-black, and a hooded cloak which is white outside and red underneath.
The other one is a teenage girl, long, brown hair and brown eyes. She also has a pair of brown rabbit ears. She wears a long sleeve red-brown shirt and black skinny jeans with a brown heart and few stiches on it. Breasts sizes: F-cup.
"(Wait, are those… bunny?)" Jaune thought asked, noticing the long bunny ears on the girl's head.
"There, your camera is all fix up, Velvet, and just try not to take any pictures on a steep cliff next time." Ruby's mom advised.
"I will, thank you, Summer!" Velvet thanked happily.
"Hey, mom!" Ruby called getting the woman's attention.
"Ruby, glad you could come!" Summer hugged her daughter.
"Hold on, you just said this is your mom, yet your sister is Yang with a different mom?" Jaune confused of seeing different moms sharing two daughters.
"I know it may sound weird, but it's true they're both our moms." Yang stated; this only leaves to more questions than answers for Jaune.
"Huh, Ruby honey, who is this?" Summer asked, Velvet is also curious to know as she has her camera ready.
"Oh, mom, Velvet, don't freak out or anything but this here is Jaune Arc. A male from the outside world!" Ruby revealed squealing as Jaune waves at them nervous.
Summer and Velvet just stood there shocked like statues as a wind blows upon them with silent consuming the group for exactly fifteen seconds, and then Summer did something that shock the other even more than Ruby revealing Jaune.
She lash her hand right Jaune under his pants and right between the legs grabbing his little 'friend' in a strong, tight grip causing him to gasps in both surprise and pain while everyone else became shock as well and the younger girls' face started blushing and Velvet taking pictures of the scene.
"OH MY GOD! HE REALLY IS A MALE?!" Summer shouted so loud, that the women in the area heard that and ran to the workshop surrounding the group.
"No way, is this for real!"
"I thought males were a bunch of fairy tales!"
"Oh wow, an actually male in the flesh! I wonder that their muscles are like?"
"He seems a little skinny, though he does have taste in cuteness like that bunny on his shirt!"
"I wonder how the men and women produce children?"
"He could also be a fighter; I would love to see him throw a strong punch."
Jaune was starting to panic as all the women, both young and old, are crowding on him closer and closer they all want to have a closer inspection as his face starts turning red seeing most of them having bigger breasts that their shirts could hardly contain them like Yang's and Pyrrha's wondering in his head why couldn't they wear something so simple to cover themselves. Ruby, Yang, and Pyrrha try to move the crowd away to give Jaune a breathing room but haven't succeed while Summer and Raven struggle to get out. Velvet hopes over the crowd taking pictures of everyone including Jaune.
"This is definitely going to be a great scoop!" Velvet excited.
"…Somebody… help me…" Jaune begged the Heavens.
Then his prayer has been answered.
"EVERYONE, SHUT UP!" A loud elder voice shouted getting everyone's attentions to the old woman.
The elder woman has dark skin and long silver hair, which she wears in a single braid down her back. She is of small stature and appears to be hunched over, requiring the use of a walking stick with a skull head. She wears a full-length dress in the traditional Tabasco style, consisting of a dark blue top with full sleeves and skirt comprised of alternating light and dark blue layers. In addition to her dress, she wears thick brown gloves and a heavy blue cloak trimmed at the edges with a pattern of white, hollow triangles on a light blue background. A similar white and blue trim is around the neck of the cloak. The cloak is secured to her shoulders with ornate white pauldrons. She also has goggle-like prosthetic eyes to see.
"Elder Maria!" Everyone surprised to see the elder here and Ruby finally broke out of the crowd to the elder.
"Granny Maria, were you going out for a walk?" Ruby asked.
"Something like that, just stretching these old legs and I heard shout about a male boy here. Show me." Maria demanded in a serious tone.
All the females including Yang, Pyrrha, Raven, Summer, move away from each other to create an opening for the elder showing Jaune standing there, surprise that one old woman could scare them just like that. He chuckles nervous hoping the old woman won't try anything crazy, like hitting him in the batteries with that cane of hers.
"Hmm, you come with me." Maria ordered the boy which he obeyed not wanting to be on this woman's bad side.
"And as for Ruby, Yang, Pyrrha, Raven, and Summer too. I want hear everything that had just happened." Maria said as she continues walking and they follow her.
(Maria's Hut)
"I see, quite the unexpected." Maria commented as she just heard the story of how Jaune ended up here.
"My god, Summer, I never expected you act like that. You're such a child despite being an adult." Maria scolded as Summer chuckles nervous and Ruby feels embarrass of her mom.
"And I can you wish to know how we women managed to survive this long." Maria said to Jaune.
"Well, huh… I didn't want to be rude saying it out loud." Jaune said.
"And nice fellow as well, to answer your question: 400 years ago, a few decades later after the men have disappeared from the island the women were struggling to stay alive, but it wasn't going so well. Until one day, two women tried to see if they can give birth to a child of their own without men's help, they failed a few times but they wouldn't give up and somehow they managed to bring a healthy baby girl, thus giving hope to all the women on the island. Life has been restored to the island though it felt like there was always a missing piece in our lives like the men, but we still live our happy lives here and because of the island's curse." Maria revealed the tale of the island to Jaune.
"Okay, that's good to know though still confusing a little, and what's this about a curse? Does it have something to do with Raven mentioning being stuck here forever?" Jaune asked.
"Well, no one knows how the curse started nor have there been any success of breaking it." Maria said as she drinks her tea.
"But I think it's best to show you than talking about it." Maria smirked.
(Beach)
"So, huh, what are we doing exactly…" Jaune asked panicking a little because he is strap to a giant slingshot being pulled by Yang and Pyrrha 5o feet into the forest.
"You want to know about the island's curse, then you're about to experience it yourself." Maria excited as she sits on her beach chair.
"Maybe this is a bad idea." Ruby worried.
"I'm sure he'll survive… maybe with a broken arm and ribs." Maria predicted the outcome.
"What…?" Now Jaune is becoming more scared of this.
"Let him fly!" Maria yelled and the girls let go launching Jaune flying through the sky.
Jaune screams for his life as he flies forward as his cheeks ripples rapidly from moving through the air so fast as he is now over 6 miles from the island and just enter the 7th mile.
"Here is comes." Maria excited while eating some popcorn.
Once Jaune has reach the 8th mile a giant tornado suddenly appeared trapping him inside spinning around inside of the strong wind for a few seconds until he got thrown out back at the island, his body hits the water a few times like skipping stones until he crashes into the sand.
"Jaune, are you okay?" Ruby asked running to his side with Yang and Pyrrha behind her.
"Did a… tornado just appeared on a clear sky?" Jaune asked with his eyes spin of dizziness.
"Yep, and not just tornados that stops you from leaving the island. If you try to leave by boat, then a whirlpool will appear destroying the boat and washing you back to the beach. That's the Remnant curse for ya." Maria explained as she walks to him.
"So, there's really no way of escaping?" Jaune asked, facing the reality of this situation.
"Yep, try as you might but it's impossible to leave the island. Might as well make yourself comfortable here because this will be your new home." Maria pointed out as she walks back to her hut.
Jaune just sat there hung his head in what looks like defeat, but his eyes are actually fill with determination as he clenches his hand into the sand.
The determination of getting back home, no matter what.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Well, Jaune got meet the village where Ruby and the others lives and nearly got squished by the crowd of lovely ladies until the elder of the village Maria came to see the young male boy herself and explained things about the island's history including about the curse. Which she gratefully showed him by launching him from a giant slingshot! Hahaha, that was funny! Anyway, now Jaune will have to figure a way to break this curse while calling the island his home now as he'll also get to meet more of the islanders.
KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!
