Another chapter! Now I want people to take a stab at what's gonna happen in the fight. This will be more of a downtime chapter after the fight because I won't lie when I made this I was too exhausted to make a longer fight. Read and review!
Jaune smiled wickedly staring directly at the pyro user, getting the feeling that she was the leader of this group.
"You want to fight the boss? Tch, yeah right. You'd get crushed by her ya blonde dipshit." Mercury sneered making Jaune just narrow his eyes still keeping his smile.
"Permission to beat the shit out of him boss?" Merc asked and cinder motioned him to go ahead. He smirked before jumping forward with a front flip leg raised high to hit Jaune with an overhead leg hammer blow. Mercury's strike landed home colliding against Jaune just as he expected causing dust to fly up from the sheer force. His eyes went wide when he felt a hand gripped around his leg preventing him from making contact. The Slater simply yawned looking at his attacker with a lazy stare holding back the attack with no visual effort.
"Was that it? That's all you got? Man, color me disappointed. My turn now." Jaune locked his grip in, feeling steel and not flesh bend before his grasp. He swung Mercury around like a ragdoll, repeatedly slamming him into the tiled floor over and over again until finally, the sound of aura shattering filled the air. The Arc grabbed the bloodied Mercury by the back of his neck, the silver-haired assassins face swelled up, blackened with bruises and blood dribbling from his mouth and nose.
"So who's next? The rest of you better give me more of a challenge than this sorry excuse for an opponent." Jaune taunted before throwing the unconscious Mercury over his shoulder not looking back as his body impacted the ground in a loud crash. Cinder could only shake her head in shock. Mercury was one of her stronger minions and he was throwing aside like day-old garbage. She closed her eyes before regaining her composure glaring at Jaune with anger and fury.
"Emerald, Adam, stay back and let me handle him. He's more powerful a foe than what Roman described. I thought the invincible girl would be the most prominent threat but he...he's the one to take care of first Use your semblance on him Emerald, I'll need you assisting me." Cinder whispered so only her colleagues could speak. Adam nodded head-turning directly at Blake who froze taking a step back. Moments later rocket launchers crashed through the ceiling eliciting another frustrated scream from Junior. RWB and NPR armed themselves readying for the coming fight, their five opponents stood across form them doing the same in return.
"Alright, I take the fire chick and the other girl. Blake, seems like Taurus is zeroing in on you which you can explain later so have Pyrrha help you he's no slouch in combat from what I've heard. Yang, Ruby and Weiss you three fight that ice cream themed chick and nora and Ren take Torchwick." Jaune ordered receiving nods from everyone, breaking off and charging forward with his supershotgun. Cinder rose a hand sending out a stream of flames making Jaune roll out of the way and back up to his feet closing the distance rearing back his free arm to pulverize the woman.
"NOW!" Cinder yelled and Jaune swung down at her stumbling forward hitting nothing but air.
"What the fuck?" Jaune mubled under his breath spinning around only to be met with a face full of fire. He was sent sailing backward into a wall feeling pieces of concrete stab into his back making his aura flaire. He looked up to see four Cinder's walking towards him, all having confident smirks written across their face.
'This bitch can multiply? The hell kinda crap is that?!' Jaune gritted his teeth dusting off whatever pieces of debris were still on him only to narrowly dodge another stream of fire, then another before rolling behind a support pillar.
'Gotta think here. Barreling forward like I usually do isn't gonna work when she can multiply. But something wasn't right about that first shot she took at me after I got back up. I only barely dodged those flames but didn't feel any heat...could those other hers be illusions? Alright...I know what I gotta do now...'
He slammed his shoulder through the pillar sending shards of glass and debris in all directions before firing his shotgun at the nearest target and smirked in response when it shimmered out of existence.
'I was right, she can somehow make illusions. But why isn't her other crony attacking?' He looked over briefly staring at the other masked girl noticing she was narrowing her eyes gazing at him intently. The Slayer put two and two together realizing she was the one with the illusions.
"Alrihgt time to end this shit!" jaune vaulted into the air bringing his fist up once more and slamming it into the ground forcing the tiled floors up hitting all the illusions and the real Cinder. He smirked shooting his meathook at the pyromancer pulling her to him. The Slayter caught her by the throat taking satisfaction in her struggling gasps for air.
"Not so tough now that you don't got illusions helping you huh?" His grip tightened and Cinder brought up her arm up in an instant shooting a point-blank burst of fire right into Jaune's face. She gave out a gasp when his free hand cut through the flames wrenching her wrist to the side only coughing a couple of times before staring at her again.
"Cheap trick you bitch. It's my turn now." He growled bringing his head back and slamming it to hers, pushing the barrel of his supershotgun into her stomach and pulling the trigger making the flame wielder scream in agony. Her aura shattered from the blast making Jaune smile once more as she went unconscious from the pain.
"No more aura, time to die." His finger twitched toward the trigger when a green sickle embedded itself in his shoulder and a chain pulled his prey away. The illusion girl helps her boss close, her mouth twisted in utter rage. Jaune could see tears starting to leak down her face dripping out from under her mask.
"You...BASTARD!" She screamed letting her semblance go wild, conjuring a massive form that filled the entire room. Jaune stared on, unfazed until he felt rage start to course through him. The girl had summoned an illusion of the queen, the whore, the one who wiped out the Night Sentinels, Salem. The illusion flowed forward freezing everyone present in fear while Jaune leaped bounded forward and punch the fake image. He looked around noticing that their opponents were gone and nowhere to be seen, growling in frustration that his prey got away. Jaune gave a once over of his friends, Nora and Ren looked to be mostly unscathed but their clothes had some burn marks, Blake had a small cut across her midsection and Pyrrha's ponytail had become undone revealing her long flowing crimson hair that made Jaune blink in surprise at how beautiful it looked. Yang had a bruise on her face that was already healing while Ruby and Weiss looked fine aside from some dirt and grime on their outfits.
"Glad to see everyone's ok. Any idea who those guys were?" Jaune asked holstering his shotgun, everyone present just shook their heads.
"Aside from Adam and Torchwick...I didn't know who those other people could be. They were wearing White Fang masks which isn't a good sign..." Blake trailed off making Yang point out the elephant in the room.
"So why the hell does the leader of the White Fang in Vale know you and on top of that, why is he working with Torchwick?"
Blake went silent at her partner's words before reaching up to her bow and unraveling it, revealing two small cat ears making everyone go quiet. She looked at her friends waiting for their reactions.
"So you're a faunus? Well that doesn't mean anything to me. Just another folk that's got some animal features, doesn't make you any less of a person. There's something deeper that I want to know, like how you know Taurus." Jaune pointed out with Blake only giving a nod in return.
"I know him...but right now is just...I just want to talk about this tomorrow. I promise ok?" Blake asked but Weiss immediately spoke.
"No! If you have any sort of connection with the White Fang, you will tell us now!" Weiss seethed taking a step forward to get in Blakes face when Yang's hand caught her shoulder.
"Weiss, she asked to talk about it tomorrow. Plus Blake is my partner and our teammate so we should trust her." Yang voiced out with a smile. Weiss looked at Blake then back at Yang pulling away from the brawler with a huff.
"Fine. Tomorrow Blake and no later." Weis glared before moving back to their booth that somehow survived the fight.
"FUCKING DAMMIT! WHY?!" Junior tugged at his hair slamming his head into the bar. Jaune walked over leaning over tapping his head.
"WHAT?! What else do you want to destroy you fucki-" He stopped talking when a wad of lien chips was shoved into his face.
"Stop screaming or I'll give you a reason to. Pretty sure that fire bitch you saw me destroy is stronger than you. I'm gonna give you this cash as sorry for messing the place up. Call the number that's on the note attached to the money and you'll be able to get your club fixed no problem. I assume my firends still want to have fun tonight and I want them to be able to enjoy themselves. You got anything on the second floor that could fill that requirement?" Jaune pushed the lien into Juniors chest hard making the broker swallow from the impact and nod quickly pointing to the stairs.
"J-just take the stairs and you'll find multiple private rooms stocked with food and booze. Enjoy y-your stay." He sputtered out in fear as Jaune walked away. The SLayer motioned his friend to follow him and they did so, making it up the stairs and to the room quickly. They all found places to sit down and get comfortable while Jaune walked over to the fridge grabbing a hunter proof beer downing it in one go with a satisfied sigh.
"That's some good stuff there. I'll cook something up real quick, looks like they got some burgers in the freezer and other stuff. Give me forty minutes." Jaune immediately got to work catching the attention of both his team and RWBY who watched him move as if he was a trained chef, unthawing the meat, pounding it into patties and seasoning them with just the right amount of seasoning.
"You know how to cook?" Ruby popped up next to Jaune who simply nodded still focusing on his task.
"Yep. Dad trained me on how to fight and in my downtime, while mom taught me how to cook and a bunch of other small stuff. Not to brag but she makes the best food you'll ever eat and I'm a close second." He said briefly refocusing on his task. The time passed and he had plates of burgers and piping hot french fries resting them down on a coffee table which Nora immediately dove in grabbing two burgers scaring one of them down in seconds.
"Itf shoo good!" The Valkyrie talked with her mouth full already tearing into the other burger. The Arc received praise from the rest of his friends smirking at their kind words.
"Time to get this party started now that we got the food! Jaune throw me your empty beer bottle!" Yang ordered which Jaune did as she asked chucking the bottle to her. She took another bite of her burger and rested the bottle in front of her gesturing everyone else to sit in a circle.
"Alright people, since we're not at Beacon and can do whatever the hell we want we'll be playing truth or dare! I'll start us off choosing a dare! Lay it one on me!" Yang grinned cockily urging her friends to give her a worthy dare.
"OH! I dare you to put on Weiss's bra!" Nora leaned forward with a toothy grin staring at the brawler expectantly who gave the hammer wielder a smirk back in return.
"Easy, Weisscream gimme your bra." Yang held out her hand wiggling her fingers while the heiress covered her chest glaring at the blonde baring her teeth.
"What?! NO!"
"It's part of the dare! Now give it!" Yang tackled Weiss to the ground trying to deprive her teammate of her undergarment
"Get your hands off me you brute!" Weiss pulled at Yang's hair trying to keep the brawler away.
"SUBMIT TO THE DARE WEISS!" Nora jumped in pinning down Weiss's arms. Moments later, yang had her own bra unclasped and donned Weiss's. The smaller girls bra being insanely tight, making the top of Yang's breasts threatening to pop out and burst the bra entirely.
"OK YOU DID IT NOW GIVE IT BACK!" Weiss squeaked out covering her chest still making Yang laugh and hand the poor girls bra back. The night continued and more antics ensued, Nora being dared to lick ketchup off Ren's abs, Pyrrha being dare by Blake to give Jaune a striptease. Everyone was able to relax and forget able to lose themselves to the fun.
(Next morning)
Jaune's eyes blinked awake slowly letting out a groan bringing his hand to his face to rub the sleepiness out. He stopped suddenly when he noticed that crimson hair was strewn across his chest looking down to see a topless Pyrrha sleeping soundly on top of him. His eyes drifted to his other side to see a blonde mane knowing all too well that it only belonged to one woman and that was Yang who was just as naked as Pyrrha. The Slayer took in the situation before him swallowing dryly, memories from the night flowing back into him.
'Oh this is gonna be an awkward conversation when they wake up...'
Kinda wanted to break up the chaos, still, got some good fights in yeah? Don't worry, Cinder will have her end but this chapter just wasn't the right time. Let's just say she's probably gonna be crushed by the corpse of a Grimm dragon down the line. Also to address any confusion, everyone was disguised except Adam Neo and Roman. So those three are still good to be undercover at Beacon. Read and Review!
