Thanks for the awesome stories. Hope you have a great new years


This sounds like an awesome semblance idea.

I wanted to make him strong as the leader but I also wanted him to be one of those fuck you bosses.

Armor and weapons you have to break just to be able to damage him, then his stupidly high defense you gotta get past.

Just to see his injury fade away in real time and his armor and weapons come back almost instantly.

Director: aaaand cut!

Cardin: you ok? I didn't hurt you did I?

Velvet: you kiddin? Cocoa is rougher than that when she gets handsy.

*Cardin turns cherry red with a blush*

*Yang is fighting Neo on the train*

Yang: ow fuck! Cut, cut damn it!

Director: what now?

Yang: she keeps hitting me in the tits!

Neo: have you considered wearing a fucking bra so they aren't bouncing in every direction?!

Yang: costume won't buy me one and all my good ones from home are compression bras and they don't like those.

Someone off screen: do not deny us the boobage!

Director: where's Penny and Ruby were supposed to be filming the docks scene soon.

Blake: Penny left.

Director: what?!

Blake: she figured with all the cuts we've been doing we wouldn't get to the scene today so she went on a date.

Director: And Ruby?

Blake: she's getting lunch with her mom.

Director: oh lovely it's always great having raven on set.

Blake: it's almost like she feels snubbed that you created a entire new character just to make Ruby not her daughter. And then made Ruby play her. And then turned her into a child abandoning bandit bitch.

Director: it's just show business.

Blake: right, and your divorce was just a small spat.

-The teams are in Radian for the New Year's Festivities! How chaotic do things get?

I'm thinking something like The Hangover, but on New Years day.

 

[Unknown_One]

And so, my last prompts for 2024:

-Jaune and Yang end up together for the Vale New Years' party, as the rest of their teams are off with other people or doing other things. They hit the bars, bond... And when the ball drops? They kiss. What happens after?

Click to shrink...

No need to add the bars or alcohol to the mix, IMO.

That being said:

Jaune stood on a bridge near the Pier in Vale. The cool air nipping at his face as he took in the serenity of the moment. He wore a dark blue Fatigues jacket, accompanied with his jeans and shoes.

Pyrrha had been out, unfortunately due to her sponsors being over insistent on her solo attendance to their function.

Ruby was with Weiss, enjoying the festive atmosphere of the moment. Blake was taking in the sights and sounds with Sun. While Nora was dragging Ren through the vendors.

As Jaune took a deep breath, he exhaled in a small sigh. Being this far from home did slightly pain him. But, he was enjoying the brief return to his normal.

"Hey VB, why are you standing alone?" Yelled Yang as she jogged to him. Her clothing being a Brown Waist-coast with a yellow and red scarf matching with Black pants.

Jaune looked at Yang and shrugged his shoulders before looking back up at the dark sky. "I loved watching the New Year's celebrations when I was a kid. The night sky being lit by fireworks, faint singing at the town square. It was tradition."

He then looked back at Yang, as she stood next to him. "Did you have any traditions on Patch?"

Yang nodded slightly as she also looked at the sky. "Yeah, we would all meet in the middle of the island. There would be a bonfire, music, and a countdown to the New Year. Couples would always end up kissing at the stroke of Midnight."

She said the last part with a chuckle, remembering how she and Ruby would act grossed out when they were children, then slowly turn hopeful they might have that moment.

Jaune huffed in amusement as a smile graced his features. "Yeah, I've heard the same. Saphron, my sister, would tell me about the kissing as well."

They heard a the loudspeaker from the pier call out one minute left, and Jaune looked back at the night sky. "Another year gone."

Yang nodded. "Yeah."

The countdown was on, as the New Year was approaching. The crowd from the pier began counting down. "Ten, Nine, Eight…"

Jaune began counting with them. "Seven, Six, Five…"

Yang joined in. "Four, Three, Two, One!"

Together, everyone exclaimed "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Fireworks were launched, dazzling the night sky. The old year was gone, a new future was upon.

Jaune and Yang watched the display, enjoying each other's quiet company.

Yang turned her head from the display and looked at Jaune. "Happy New Year, Jaune."

He turned and looked at Yang. "Happy New Year, Yang."

Yang lightly bit her lower lip and closed the distance between them. Lavender met Cobalt and an unanswered question lingered between them.

Jaune turned to her, and wrapped his left arm around her. He brought his right hand to Yang's chin and brought his lips to hers, angling his head before their lips touched.

The kiss lasted longer than they expected. Both pairs of eyes closed as the lip lock was going.

It felt good, it felt nice, it felt… right. After a solid minute of kissing, the pair split and opened their eyes.

Jaune took his hand off of Yang's chin and brought his right arm around Yang's shoulders in a loving embrace. Yang wrapped her arms around him in a similar manner.

"Happy New Year, Jaune." Yang said, after burying her face in his left shoulder.

Jaune looked down slightly at the head of Yang. He gave another light kiss to the back of her head. "Happy New Year, Yang."

Penny becomes a benevolent eggman.
Kinda.

See Penny wants a big family bigger than just her and her dad.

But Atlas isn't too keen on giving her the space or money for a big production of sentient AI.

So Penny does some....creative application of the truth and resources.

Penny is technically a member of the military after all so she should be getting a officers salary. Surely they just forgot to sign her up for it so she signs herself up, even arranges for the missing backpay. All properly filed and legal(ish).

Since there isn't space for her to make her factory in Atlas? Then she'll just make it outside of Atlas. There's plenty of unused land out there, in fact they send recon drones out to those areas often. She can just leave some equipment and robots behind when the drones gets there.

That nice dormant volcano in the mountain range would make a good base, should be easy to set up some thermal generators.

So fast forward a year or two and Penny has her first few family members. Some are AI, Some are Robots, and a few are Cyborgs.

There's her adorable little sister Sage the AI.

There's her big brother Robotic Rodent Robot Speed Tester Unit...He prefers to be called metal sonic.

There's the two faunus cyborgs Kit and Surge. They needed a LOT of repairs but they're all good now! Except surge keeps shocking herself in the shower. But they're a good big sister and little brother pair.

Penny even made herself a new body, a bit more mature with really cool glasses!

She can't wait to show friend Ruby her new family and form. And it looks like she won't have to wait! It appears some trainee hunters teams have been sent to say hello and check out her really cool lab home.

It's shaped like a smile!

---

Nora: "Holy shit that is creepy."

Ruby: "Really? I think it looks kinda goofy."

Ren: "I wouldn't call a secret fortress that just appeared out of thin air a few months ago goofy."

Ruby: "Maybe they're friendly?"

Surge: and who the H-E-double fuck are you guys?

---

Oh yes this can only end well.

Penny accidentally makes herself a new faction.

Holy crap, that fits SO much! And instead of chaos emeralds, we have dust Crystal's of unusual strength, the animal cores are really rescued animals from high-risk areas, and so on.

 

[SharkCultist]

Holy crap, that fits SO much! And instead of chaos emeralds, we have dust Crystal's of unusual strength

Click to shrink...

I would like to point out two things.

1. There are artificial chaos emeralds. They aren't as good as the OG but it at least shows they're something that science could make..so Penny could make a set.

2. The phantom Ruby is supposed to be a creation of eggmans so there are other power gems than just emeralds she could make, maybe a version of starlines warp topaz.

 

[Dragon Bob]

Or the animal cores are captured Grimm used as a power source.

Had a random AU idea where Menagerie was ruled by pirates for a long while. Along with a return to my High Faunus idea but the overwhelming majority of HF live underwater and only recently hit critical mass that caused them to become relevant to the global stage.

The issue is they've more or less been isolated from the rest of the world due to living underwater, combined with natural selection resulting in more inhuman traits to the point where some cannot survive on dry land. So with exception to isolated coastal communities nobody new about them until some started building reverse-submarines and anti-boats to secure territorial claims, after the Great War. Followed by my idea of them strong-arming Menagerie into submission since the whole issue was considered a "Faunus" matter. When in reality it was one of many underwater nations "surfacing" with the least push-back.

Only after did they start recognizing fishmen as a separate race for practical reasons.

Likely makes Blake a completely different person, not to mention changes the White Fang as a global organization since their "capital" doesn't become the haven promised because someone literally parked a boat on seaside property and threatened to blow it up into they got dibs for the master bedroom.

Professor Peach: "All right, Miss Schnee, you'll work with Miss Valkyrie!"

Weiss: "Oh no... Not in Dust class..."

Nora: "WOO! All right Weissy, let's get to work!"

Weiss: "Save me... I'm too young to die..."

An hour later...

Nora: "... So you adjust the mixture to 1/45. Add it in with a little shake of your wrist each time for even distribution."

Weiss: "All right..."

Nora: "Ooh! We should add some Lightning Dust in this layer to ensure that the detonation is within 1.2 milliseconds!"

Weiss: "Okay..."

Peach: "All right. Let's test your mixtures in the test chamber. Goggles, everyone!"

Each team has their mixture detonated and examined. At the end...

Peach: "Perfect score, Miss Schnee and Miss Valkyrie! Your mixture was spot on for precision!"

Weiss: "Thank you, Professor!"

Nora: "YAY! Do we get gold stars?"

Peach: "Just A-pluses, Miss Valkyrie."

Nora: "Oh. Guess we gotta do better next time for those!"

Peach: chuckles "Keep it up and I'll see what I can do."

Nora: "Okay!"

Weiss: Stares in Disbelief at Nora "How did you learn so much about Dust?"

Nora: "Well, we learned the basics of Dust from some old books we found in the village ruins. Renny's good but I really took to it! I had to learn to help keep Renny safe! Nearly blew myself up a few times but it was worth it!"

Weiss: "O-Oh... I see... You learned very well."

Nora: "Thanks! You too!"

Weiss: I want to be nicer... I want to show my gratitude... And I want to show that we're friends... But how? I know!

Later... In the common room... Weiss enters with a smile.

Weiss: "Nora! Here!"

Nora: "Eh?"

Weiss hands over a letter. Nora opens it.

Nora: "What is it?"

Weiss: "It's a job offer. Would you like to become an SDC Dust Quality Control Engineer?"

Nora: "What's that?"

Weiss: "Basically, you would test Dust mixtures for their volatility and effectiveness."

Nora: "Really? That would be great! But I gotta look at pay..." She holds it out to Jaune "Jaune-Jaune? Is that a lot?"

Jaune: eyes bug out "That's a LOT, Nora."

Nora: "Really? HEE! Renny! I'm the breadwinner of the family!"

Ren: "I knew you could do it, sweetheart."

Nora: "You'd better have dinner on the table when I get home and you'd better wear the silk underwear!"

Ren: "Year dear."

Jaune: "Er... It seems kind of sudden, Nora."

Pyrrha: "Also, don't you need to finish schooling and become a Huntress, Nora?"

Nora: "Eh? OH! Right!" smiles and hands the offer back "Sorry Weissy, I wanna be a Huntress!"

Weiss: "But I... Oh..."

Nora: "The job sounds neat though, so maybe I'll take it in the future?"

Weiss: "I... Oh... Um, sure."

Nora: "But, let's work on Dust Class homework together!"

Weiss: smiles "I... I would like that."

Nora: "That last mixture was all about precision, which is great! But sometimes you just wanna make a REALLY big explosion! Ooh! Maybe we can add in some Ice Dust and make giant exploding Snowflakes! Wouldn't that be great?!"

Weiss: "I... Suppose it would."

Nora: "YAY!"

stead of being a mealy-mouthed "survival of the fittest" loser who can't back up her own words, Raven genuinely believes it. Also she didn't abandon Yang at birth, but instead trains her until one day she tossed Yang off a cliff to see if she's strong enough to survive. The blonde did, but harbors a deep hatred of Raven even as she is raised by Taiyang, and becomes an adopted sister to Ruby. Her goal shifts from traveling the world to growing strong enough to take revenge on Raven, then throw her mother off a cliff.

Team JNPR and Team RWBY were returning from a joint training mission. They walked through Beacon's Star Maiden garden, which filled with beautiful fountains, flowers, and marble columns.

"Geez, after that training mission, this boring place is just what the doctor ordered!" Yang sighed happily.

"I will admit, serenity is very nice after dealing with all those issues," Ren sighed.

"Aw, it was fun!" Nora protested with a grin as she hefted up her hammer. "I got to smash those Grimm right in their stupid faces!"

"Along with the chicken coop behind it," Jaune sighed, brushing off some leftover feathers. Ruby grimaced.

"That was the worst!" She groaned. "We should be-be fighting super awesome evil Grimm and saving kingdoms and-and handsome princes or something!"

"Or handsome knights," Yang said with a wink at Jaune. Jaune coughed as his cheeks burned red. Ruby scowled.

"Yaaang! Enough flirting!"

"Did you want to get some flirting in, too?" Yang grinned. "Maybe we should make a sign up sheet!"

"Ease up, guys," Jaune siged, "I want a shower."

"Yes, please," Pyrrha cleared her throat, brushing some feathers out of her red hair, "A shower would be nice."

Yang sighed and brushed some stray feathers from her jacket.

"Fine, fine."

"Honestly," Weiss sighed, still scrubbing her hands with antiseptic gel, "I had no idea chickens were so disagreeable!"

"This is why I prefer fish," Blake said. "Also, do you always carry antiseptic gel?"

"Yes. Why, don't you?" Weiss asked curiously.

This is when loud music began to play over the courtyard speakers. Jaune paled as he heard it.

"What is that song? It sounds super old! 'Bye bye bye?'" Ruby exclaimed.

"I think Dad used to play it all the time... VB?" Yang added, noticing how Jaune tensed.

"Jaune?" Pyrrha asked, staring at Jaune's reaction as he pulled his weapons out.

"ARM YOURSELVES! NOW!" Jaune shouted.

"Are you kidding-?!" Weiss tried, even as everyone else obeyed. Just in time, too.

A figure in heavy combat armor, with curved horns on her helmet, charged in and swung her sword at Jaune. Jaune barely parried the first three blows, before the figure sidestepped his desperate counter attack and slapped him on the ass with the flat of her blade. This sent him flying headfirst through a stone bench, his Aura flaring brightly. Everyone else scattered, Pyrrha, Ren and Nora regrouping immediately.

"JAUNE!" Ruby however was the first to strike back. She leaped into super speed with her Semblance, and struck the armored figure several times. Each time the figure parried or deflected the hits with her sword, before yanking Ruby into range, punching her in the stomach, and throwing her into a column.

"URK!" Ruby gasped.

"A Lancer who gets too close and fights too predictably..." The Figure commented while blocking Pyrrha's furious counter strikes and then evading Yang's berserker rage. "Hmmm..."

She traded sword blows with Pyrrha while evading everyone else's fire. Yang then charged at her, her eyes glowing red and her Aura burning like fire.

She caught Yang's wrist and threw her into Pyrrha. Pyrrha tried to catch Yang... Which is when the figure closed the distance and slapped them both into a fountain with her sword. They smashed through the marble fountain and fell into the pool with a large splash.

"A Berserker without brains or agility and another Lancer who is far too showy and emotionally compromised-" She dodged around Nora's wild swings and slams, using her agility to disarm the hammer maiden and then kick her into a tree.

"Another Berserker who is too wild-"

Ren popped up from behind a stone bench and tried to strike her from behind, but the figure swung around and unleashed an Aura blast that sent him crashing through a statue.

"Assassin with shitty weapons-" She casually backhanded Weiss who tried to charge her. Weiss plowed into a flower garden with a screech.

"A Caster who thinks she's a Saber-"

She looks over at Blake, who was hesitating on top of a pillar. She swung her blade and unleashed an Aura blast. Blake used a clone to avoid it, sent two more in… Who the figure plowed through to backhand Blake into the recovering Yang, sending both back into the fountain pool.

"EEYAH!"

"And finally, another Assassin who thinks too much." She sighs, "JAUNE! Your teams are very disappointing!"

Pyrrha got up and attacked again. This time the figure was forced to fight a bit more seriously, having to parry and counter and even evade Pyrrha's furious assault. Pyrrha managed to get a hit on her helmet, cutting off the tip of her horn. The figure traps Pyrrha's blade against hers.

"Ooh... I may have misjudged you. You might be fun-" the Figure said, a feral grin in her voice.

At last, Jaune got up and yelled a threat.

"DAMNIT MORDRED! STOP IT RIGHT NOW OR I'M CALLING NANA!"

Mordred gasped and turned her head to look at Jaune.

"YOU WOULDN'T!"

Jaune held up his Scroll. Mordred huffed, and pulled back from the panting Pyrrha. The rest of RWBY and JNPR got up. Ren was slightly tense. Nora was curious. Ruby was scowling. Yang and Weiss were glaring hot death at Mordred, and then at Blake.

"You SAID you were gonna back me up!" Weiss accuses.

"Well, I-!" Blake tried to defend herself.

"I thought you were gonna do the same!" Yang interjected.

"Would it have actually mattered?! We all got clobbered!" Blake retorted.

"YES! YES IT WOULD! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHY DID YOU ATTACK?!" Ruby demanded.

The woman's helmet slid open with mecha-shift technology, revealing a rather strikingly beautiful older blonde woman with blue eyes, a ponytail for her slightly white streaked locks, and a cocky grin.

"I am Sir Mordred Arc! Knight of the Round Table! Heir to the throne of Albion! And... Jaune Arc's great-uncle." Mordred declared.

"WHAT?!" Weiss cried.

"Wha-You're Jaune's unc-but you're a-!" Ruby stammered, but Jaune held up a hand.

"DON'T! Don't! It's not worth it! Just call her-um, him, Uncle Mordred." Jaune sighed.

"Did you really have to attack us as a greeting?! Are you insane?!" Weiss demanded, shaking her fist.

"YES! It is how one should properly greet Hunters-in-Training! And given I mopped the floor with you all except the redheaded Lancer, you clearly need a lot of work! Jaune I can understand-His parents forbade him from training and he is catching up! But YOU! How the mighty have fallen!" Mordred exclaimed, standing at attention with her blade held downwards between her hands.

"Mordred, you are literally 80 years old and have seen more combat in a week than most of us have in a lifetime." Jaune pointed out, exasperated.

"BIG DEAL! If you'd worked together you might have stood a chance! Well, nothing for it! I shall have to train you myself!" Mordred declared.

"Oh wow... Jaune? Your uncle is cool and super hot!" Nora expressed in awe. Ren raised an eyebrow.

"DAMN RIGHT I AM!" Mordred boasted.

"She's a lunatic-" Weiss started to say before Mordred held a sword to her throat, "Urk!"

"Don't call me a woman, damnit! Just because I have a husband and have borne him children does not MAKE ME A WOMAN! It merely makes me very manly!" Mordred clarified.

"I-You-!" Weiss stuttered. Jaune again reached out and pulled Weiss away. He shook his head.

"Please. Don't. You'll only make things worse." Jaune warned. Weiss sucked in a breath and slowly nodded.

"S-Sure, um, Mordred. You are... Very manly." Weiss reluctantly acknowledged.

Mordred withdrew her sword, "EXCELLENT! Now, all is not lost! You have promise! But back in MY DAY, we were fighting bandits and Grimm beasts every single day for classes! None of this cushy boarding school nonsense! We shall go get alcohol-!"

"AHEM. Underaged? Ahem?" Jaune coughed.

"In Vale?!" Mordred demanded. Jaune nodded sadly. "DAMNIT! FINE! We shall go get drinks of some sort! And then perhaps get our nails done! I like the star designs on my nails, that's extra manly!"

"I like stars on my nails too!" Ruby said cheerfully. "I just learned how to do them!"

"WONDERFUL!" Modred declared with a grin.

Nora held up her hand.

"Question!"

"Yes?" Mordred responded.

"Why that old music?" Nora asked.

Mordred huffed.

"It's catchy and I enjoy listening to music while training!"

Nora gasped, her eyes bright.

"IT IS SUPER CATCHY! Right Renny?"

"The catchiest," Ren agreed in his usual deadpan.

"Why can't there be a normal Arc?" Weiss muttered. Blake grumbled in agreement.

Jaune looked over at Pyrrha, who was looking very intensely at Mordred.

"Pyrrha? You okay?"

Pyrrha turned to Jaune. Her eyes were sparkling, "That was the most intense fight I've ever had, Jaune! I can't wait for your uncle to train us more!"

Jaune sighed. He wore a wry smile.

"Yeah, me too..."

Since I established Arslan and Neptune as childhood friends (but not romantic at all, more like siblings), one possibility for their relationship is tension over who Neptune's leader is. Arslan was able to perform so well that Lionheart couldn't sabotage her team as he did others-At least not as easily. Team SSSN though is an utter disaster. And Arslan would have opinions on that.

Arslan doesn't hate Sun, but she does think he is a terrible leader.

In the past... At Haven... Arslan meets with Neptune halfway through their first semester..

Neptune: "Hey Arslan. You know, if you wanted to join my team, you already rejected my offer. And to be my girlfriend, too! That hurts as much as it did the five hundredth time as it did the first but-"

Arslan: "You should switch to my team."

Neptune: "Selections are final, but if you really want to try dating we could-"

Arslan: "Your team leader is dangerous, Neptune. He's unreliable. Reckless."

Neptune: "Sun? Nah... He would never! Sure, he's a flake sometimes-"

Arslan: "All the time."

Neptune: "But he would never abandon us when we most needed him! You gotta have faith! I mean... You've devoted your life to faith!"

Arslan: "I have faith in God. Faith in mortals is another matter entirely. Faith in Sun? No."

Neptune: sigh "You're really making a big deal out of this-"

Arslan: "He's going to get you killed, Neptune."

Neptune: "Yeah well... I'll just have to prove you wrong, won't I?" snorts "You can stop acting like I'm the snot nosed brat you picked on. I'm basically a man and I'm gonna do great!"

Arslan: "..." nods "Then I will pray you are right, and I am wrong."

Oh I just had a great dumb idea.

Jaunes semblance is different than canon and his family knew about it.

Jaune has a pajama semblance.

Wearing different animal themed footie pajamas gives him different effects.

That's why they sent him to beacon with a rabbit onesie.

+Luck and + jump boost

It's just a fun dumb idea.

"Why is he harder to beat in pajamas than armor?"

"More than that why are the blue hedgehog pajamas making him faster?!"

Vale, Dockyards

- - -

Cinnamon Berahard was nearly seven years old, and she was super bored. Her mama and papa had told her that a trip up to Vale would be fun and exciting! But most of the trip had been about Papa buying and selling and talking to boring old people. Mama had at least bought her a dolly. It was a beautiful china doll, and she'd named her Priscilla.

She held onto Priscilla tightly as she sat in the back of the car, bored. Their front left tire had gone flat and Papa was fixing it. She watched Papa and Mama work on it together while they argued. The world outside was dark except for street lights and big, grim looking warehouses. They were creepy, so she focused her attention on her parents.

"I told you we were lost," Mama sighed, "Why didn't you just buy a proper Scroll?"

"Feh!" Papa snorted. "My old Scroll works just fine! We just took a bit of a detour, that's all."

"A detour, he says," Mama groaned, "who knows what kinds of thieves and cutthroats could be around here!"

"Please," Papa chuckled, "This is a civilized city! There ain't no bandits or thieves or-"

There was a loud explosion nearby. Everyone jumped, especially Cinnamon. She saw a gout of flame rise up behind the buildings. She gasped in amazement.

Maybe it was like her CCTV programs back home! Hunters and Huntresses on the street, fighting against bad guys!

"... Let's call the police," Mama suggested. Papa nodded.

"I think you're right." He pulled out his Scroll, and made the call. "Hello, Vale Police? Yes, I'd like to report a-"

A ragged looking young Faunus with cat ears, black clothing, and a white mask jumped through a window in the building across the street. He landed hard on the pavement and sprang towards them faster than a horse! He slapped Papa and Mama, sending them both sprawling to the pavement.

"MAMA! PAPA!" Cinnamon shrieked. The Faunus man opened the door and checked the keys. He groaned.

"Great, I gotta fix the tire..." He glared at Cinnamon, and she shrunk back. "You're really fucking slow, you humans!"

"I-I-!"

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

Cinnamon and the Faunus looked back. Four young women in yellow, black, white and red leaped down, landing on the street. In an instant, the Faunus seized Cinnamon and yanked her in front of him. She screamed in fear and began to cry as he held a gun against her head.

"One more step, and goodbye little human!" He snarled. The girl in red, with black hair with red tips and a huge red scythe, froze. She shook her head.

"Y-You're bluffing!" She cried. "You're not gonna kill her!"

The Faunus grinned and jabbed the gun against Cinnamon's head. She whimpered. She wet her pants. She shook and trembled violently.

"You think I care?" The Faunus scoffed. "You'd better back up, nice and easy. Even you aren't fast enough to get to me before I pull the trigger!"

"Let her go!" The girl in black offered, "The White Fang is better than this!"

"FEH! Where have you been, Princess?" The Faunus scoffed. "Now, back off! Weapons down!"

"You're a scum sucking scoundrel!" The girl in white cursed, while the girl in yellow with blonde hair snarled angrily. The Faunus laughed.

"It keeps me breathing, darling. Now, you-HEY!"

Cinnamon stared through her tears. A man had appeared, jumping down from the same window. His poncho waved dramatically as he held onto his cowboy hat. He stared intently at Cinnamon and the Faunus as he stood up. The Faunus growled.

"YOU! Same thing, cowboy! You try anything and-!"

BANG!

The Faunus' body went limp even as Cinnamon's ears hurt. The Faunus dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. In an instant, the girl in red appeared and caught Cinnamon as she felt. She buried her face in her chest, sobbing loudly even as the girl in red rubbed her back.

She glanced up: The man was holding a revolver and pointing it at the Faunus. The Faunus had crumpled to the ground. He wasn't moving.

Cinnamon shivered and buried her face back in the girl's chest.

"Mama... Papa...?" She managed.

"They're okay," the girl said softly, "They're just... Just asleep."

"... The bad guy?" She asked.

The girl in red was silent as police sirens filled the air.

Yang was the first to recover from the abrupt end of the pursuit. Jaune barking orders into his Scroll helped take her eyes away from the dead Faunus.

"Pyrrha, Nora, make sure nobody else gets away, we caught one straggler," he stated, "Ren, sweep the area one last time. All of you, come to my signal location ASAP."

"Roger," Pyrrha spoke.

"Okey dokey Jaune-Jaune!" Nora replied.

"Understood," Ren said.

Jaune closed the Scroll as the cops arrived. He holstered his weapon, his face grim and stony.

"You... You killed him," Weiss said, soft and disbelieving.

Jaune very slowly nodded.

"Yes miss," he said, his voice devoid of its customary warmth. He glanced at the corpse briefly. "Let's check on the adults, make sure they're all right. Weiss, you got Healing Dust, right?"

Weiss kept staring.

"Weiss?" He pressed.

"Y-Yes, I'm on it," Weiss said, turning and heading over to the two groaning humans. Blake continued to stare at him intensely. She walked up close, her yellow eyes narrowed.

"Was that necessary?" Blake asked, quiet but angry. Jaune let out a soft sigh.

"... I hope so," he muttered.

Yang walked up and rested a hand on his shoulder. She gave Blake a very stern look.

"Threatening to murder a child is rarely something a good person does, Blake," Yang stated in a flat, angry tone.

"He was desperate, he was scared-" Blake tried. Yang glared.

"He had a choice. He made the wrong one," Yang practically spat.

Blake stared intensely at Jaune, who was still as blank faced as a cube of marble. A few moments later, Pyrrha, Ren and Nora jumped in. The cops were securing the area. One, a sergeant by her stripes, walked over to look down at the body. She then turned to look over the assorted Hunters-in-Training.

"Which one of you shot him?" She demanded, brushing a few stray black hairs behind her ears as she scowled.

Ruby opened her mouth-To what end, Yang didn't know. Jaune shook his head and stepped foward.

"That would be me, ma'am," Jaune replied calmly. Pyrrha's eyes widened. Ren and Nora stared intensely. Ruby shook her head and dashed forward, still holding the weeping girl.

"He was holding a girl hostage, he was going to shoot her-!"

The sergeant held up her hand and Ruby fell silent. The Red Reaper glanced at Jaune, looking distraught but over what, Yang couldn't tell. She could guess a few things, though.

"You can all give your full statements at the station," she stated, "What's your name, son?"

"Jaune Arc."

"Sergeant Matty Dillon," she introduced herself, "Under city policy when it comes to Hunters-in-Training, I'm going to have to take you into custody pending assessment of the incident and interviews with the witnesses." She held out her hand. "I'll need you to surrender your weapons and come with me."

"Hey! Hang on a second!" Yang argued, "That bastard was going to kill a little girl! You can't just arrest Jaune for that-!"

"It's all right, Yang," Jaune said quietly. He undid his gun and swordbelt, and handed it over to Sergeant Dillon-His revolvers and Crocea Mors hung from it. He pulled out a knife from his boot, and pulled his shotgun off his shoulders and handed it over too. Dillon raised an eyebrow.

"Anything else?"

"No ma'am," Jaune said politely. He held out his wrists. "Do you need to cuff me?"

"Yes," Dillon said, slapping them on, "It's just procedure."

"But he didn't do-!" Ruby tried, but Jaune shot her a look.

"It's all right, Ruby. I've..." A look of shame came over his face, before his determined expression returned.

"I've been through this before," he said carefully.

Ruby's jaw dropped. Yang gaped. Blake gasped. Weiss, still tending to the wounded, still shot a shocked look back. Pyrrha's eyes widened. Ren closed his eyes while Nora shook her head.

"You can all come along in another car," Dillon stated, "We'll try to get this sorted out as quickly as possible. I'll read you your rights on the way."

"Yes ma'am," Jaune said. He looked around at his friends.

"It's gonna be all right, I promise," he said, as Dillon escorted him towards one of the police cruisers. Ruby stared in shock, even as the little girl stared after him.

"Is... Is he gonna go to jail?" She asked.

"Not if we can help it," Yang growled.

"Cinnamon!"

The little girl looked over. She beamed as she saw her parents standing up, smiling.

"MAMA! PAPA!"

She dropped from Ruby's arms and ran over to them. They embraced the little girl happily.

"Well," Yang muttered, "I can think of a few people thankful Jaune took his shot."

Blake just scowled deeply.

Weiss approached, looking anxious.

"We-We should go with him," she said, "After all... He'll need our testimony... R-Right?"

"Let's go," Pyrrha said grimly, as they headed towards a second police cruiser.

I'm working on the other Cowboys of Remnant bit, but I wanted to try something a bit darker. Any thoughts so far?

 

[bazerkerking]

Blake I'm all for equality... and that goes for Equality under the law as well. And I am of the full opinion that anyone, human or Faunus, who threatens a child deserves to be shot.

 

[ThunderBasilisk]

Jaune: I'm all for equality but the second you threaten a child you lose that right.
Blake: something something rasism
