[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

[AndrewJTalon]

Team CMEN (Carmen was the official title but some insipid idiots kept making the same tired joke) was sitting outside pretending to do some studying. Emerald didn't know why they bothered, but Cinder's reasoning that they couldn't let anyone suspect them was solid... Mostly.



"Hmhmhmmm... Mmhmm..."



Lately, Emerald suspected Cinder had other motives. Something even Mercury picked up on, as he sighed.



"You know Cinder," he said, "We could just leave you alone with the guy."



Cinder started, having been staring at... Him. She shook her head and glared at Mercury.



"Stop saying such ridiculous nonsense," she growled, "We are out here to maintain our cover!"



Mercury sighed. He glanced away.



"Oh look. Arc just popped a shirt button," he deadpanned.



Cinder glanced over... Then her cheeks turned red. She glared with fire in her eyes at Mercury, who, despite his fear, smirked.



Neo grinned and licked at her ice cream cone far more lasciviously than she had been before.



And Emerald seethed.



Emerald had devoted herself entirely to Cinder. Every waking moment of her existence was bent towards aiding her ambitions, in proving herself worthy of Cinder's trust and affection. No matter how terrible, how horrific, how difficult the task was, Emerald would accomplish it for her mistress.



And now, some ill-bred cowpoke was taking all of Cinder's attention!



"He's a potential threat to our operation," Cinder stated firmly, her cheeks still tinted, "And partners with Nikos. While his close range combat skills are poor, his ranged combat skills are very dangerous. The two of them could pose a significant threat, especially if Nikos obtained the Maiden Power."



"Perhaps we should test his skill then," Emerald piped up, barely hiding her anger and jealousy. Cinder raised an eyebrow and gave her a deadpan expression. Mercury smirked knowingly, while Neo tilted her head in a silent question.



"Oh?" Cinder asked flatly, "And how would you do that, Emerald?"



"Quite simply," Emerald stated. She stood up and turned, heading right for that guitar strumming lout. He was relaxing, as he often did, by a certain tall tree on the grounds. His hat was down over his eyes as he strummed away. His horse grazed nearby, though she poked her head up and stared at Emerald as she approached. Emerald paid the horse no heed, storming right up to stand ten feet in front of Arc. She glared and rested her hands on Thief's Respite.



"Jaune Arc!" She declared.



Arc poked his hat brim up to stare up at her. After a moment, he got to his feet, slid his guitar to his side, and tipped his hat with a polite smile.



"Miss Sustrai? What can I do for you?" He asked kindly.



It made her hate him all the more.



"I... Wish to see which of us is a better shot with a revolver," she managed, her calm tone somewhat ruined by her grit teeth. Arc blinked a few times.



"Well certainly miss," he said with a smile, "May I ask why-?"



"No," Emerald practically snarled. Jaune slowly nodded.



"Yes Miss. When and where?"



"Noon!" She spat. "The shooting range!"



Arc looked at her in concern. That it seemed be sincere just made her angrier.



"There something the matter, miss? I offend you in some way? If I did, I do apologize and would be happy to make amends-"



Emerald drew Thief's Respite and fired. Arc's hat flew right off his head. She fired a second time, then a third, then a fourth, making the hat sail higher and higher into the air. She then let it fall, like a crumpled leaf, right in front of him.



Arc blinked. He blinked again. The horse stared very intensely at the place between her shoulders.



"You... You...!" Emerald snarled. "You have this coming!"



Arc very slowly knelt down. He picked up his hat and examined it carefully, sticking a finger through the holes. He then calmly set it back on his head. He stood up. His eyes were shadowed... But the Aura surged through them, making his blue eyes glow. His face was as hard as stone, and his Aura felt like a thundercloud raging across the Vacuoan prairie before it unleashed its fury.



For a moment, Emerald was daunted, cowed... But she glared back in stubborn pride.



"Very well, Miss Sustrai," Arc stated, his voice as cold and hard as steel, "You've made your point. Noon. Tomorrow. We will settle this."



"Count on it!" Emerald growled. She turned and stormed back to CMEN's table. She took the time to calm herself, take deep breaths and regain her composure. She sat down, and bowed her head slightly towards the staring Cinder.



"This will allow you to truly gauge his ability, Miss Cinder," Emerald said, "And learn how to overcome him, even if he's paired with Nikos."



Cinder was silent for a few moments. She then slowly nodded.



"Inelegant, Emerald," she stated, and Emerald winced, "But effective. We will see what kind of fighter Mister Arc truly is."



Emerald smiled and nodded quickly.



"I-I will not fail you, Cinder!"



"Sure, that's one way to put it," Mercury muttered. Emerald punched him. "OW! What?!"

Orleans is the real danger at Beacon.

...I just had a ship idea and it's because of JoJo. Damn it.

Emerald + Neptune.

Jaune - "Dare, I ask what?"

Weiss - "A baker, to replace my beloved cake butler!"

Jaune: I am so glad I'm over you.

 

[SharkCultist]

I read Baker and my neurons got activated.

Beacon (and Pyrrha and Ozpin) survived cinders Grimm invasion. Unfortunately the school needed quite a few repairs that wiped out the budget.

So the teachers come up with a brilliant idea. Any student or students who can come up with a (mostly) legal way to make money get extra credit (and maybe a get out of detention free card).

Jaune gathers his friends and falls back on farm habits. He may not be able to grow stuff but he remembers good old home cooking, mose specifically he remembers baking.

Morning biscuits, cornbread, birthday cakes, regular bread, and whatever special requests his sisters bullied him into making.

Jaune is gonna run a bakery and his friends are going to help.

Wether they want to or not.

In Volume 5 after RWBY has reunited...

Ruby: "Yeah! We did it!"

Yang: "Yeah! We sure did!"

Blake: "Yes! RWBY is reunited! We're back together!"

Ruby: "I-Wait what?"

Blake: "What?"

Weiss: "What are you going what about, Ruby?"

Ruby: "I mean... Er... Yeah, we beat this bad guy and all but... Back together? As a team?"

Blake: "Yeah. I brought an army, we defeated White Fang and Lionheart-"

Ruby: "Yeah and that worked fine, but like, permanently?"

Weiss: "What do you mean? You're acting like you don't need us!"

Ruby: "I really don't."

Yang: "What?! Come on, I'm basically a Super Saiyan!"

Ruby: "Pfft. In short bursts, sure, but then you get carried away and then get beaten! Nora hits harder, her Semblance is easily recharged, and she's not making terrible jokes all the time!"

Yang: "They are NOT terrible! And who are you going to get for your tank instead of me, huh? Jaune?"

Ruby: "Yes Jaune! Did you NOT see him stop the Nucklavee? He's a freaking TANK! Also, Jaune's Defense and Support are super incredible! He's like a White Mage! He literally brought you back from the dead, Weiss!"

Weiss: "Which I appreciate but my Glyphs can-"

Ruby: "HA! His Dust Projector in his Shield lets him cast offensive blasts AND heal! And he can take a hit! You can't!"

Weiss: "I-I so can! I can move at super speed-!"

Ruby: "You did in your trailer. Never have since then."

Weiss: "I... I haven't needed to?"

Ruby: "Like when you almost died?"

Weiss: "HEY!"

Ruby: "Continuing on, Blake? Ren's way more useful than you as a ninja. He can manipulate emotions at range and while his weapon sucks, I'm gonna buy an upgrade for him in Atlas and he'll be complete. You? You just have your clones for a distraction and ninja tools that really needed an update."

Blake: "But come on, we have to get back together! We were separated for a while sure but-"

Ruby: "Oh? And why were were separated, Blake? Why don't you tell me? I mean, Yang joined me after she got over her PTSD... Weiss got kidnapped by her dad... And you...?"

Blake: "Umm... I ran off and... Kind of abandoned you. Um, but I had a good reason!"

Weiss: "Oh this should be good-"

Ruby: "We'll get to you too, Weiss. Blake?"

Blake: "Well, uh... I mean my psycho ex did maim my best friend and I thought you'd be safer if I wasn't... Around?"

Yang: "Oh gee, like he wouldn't have done to any other human?"

Blake: "It was personal!"

Yang: "He literally murdered a guy right in front of you! RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!"

Blake: "Yeah well... I still came back! With an army! To-To save you-!"

Ruby: "Yeah, sure that's great Blake, why didn't you bring your army to save Beacon? Huh?"

Blake: "Well I-"

Ruby: "You were still Menagerie's Princess! Why didn't you call in an army to help then?"

Blake: "I'm not really a princess-"

Weiss: "She's what?!"

Ruby: "Yeah, she's the daughter of Menagerie's rulers. Has been this whole time. No idea how we didn't figure it out sooner but she grew up in a mansion."

Weiss: "WHAT?!"

Blake: "It's not even that big a mansion! It's like half the rooms of yours, Weiss!"

Weiss: "YOU HYPOCRITE!"

Weiss has to be held back by Yang.

Ruby: "Plus, I would like to remind you all that during Vytal, Weiss got kidnapped, Yang got maimed, and Blake ran off. Even before then, none of you listened to me except when we were about to die! You all had your own personal dramas that were more important to you than the team or me!"

Yang: "That's not true! I totally rejoined you-"

Ruby: "After being in self pity and trauma for almost a whole year. I saw people DIE, Yang! I saw PYRRHA DIE! And I still got up and went off with Jaune, Nora, and Ren, who don't HAVE your drama queen bullshit! Hell, his trauma and quest for justice makes him sexier!"

Yang: "I mean... You're not wrong about Jaune."

Weiss: "That's fair."

Blake: "Bad boys are overrated."

Ruby: "ANYWAY! Team RNJR has been saving the day just fine and I'm sure if I max our gear and grind a little (especially on Jaune) we'll be able to handle it! You guys can stay in the backrow. Later!"

Ruby shoots off. Yang, Weiss and Blake stare at eachother.

Weiss: "... By that she means-?"

Yang: miserably "Back row... With the unpopular player characters nobody uses unless they're completionist weirdos."

Blake: "It can't be that bad-"

Cait Sith: waves his Mog arm "Hey."

Blake, Yang and Weiss: Scream in horror

Yeah I never liked Cait Sith in FF7 and after rewatching some of Volume 4-5? Jaune, Nora and Ren were ride or die for Ruby, whereas Weiss, Blake And even Yang... Weren't. Yang got a little better, sure, but their personal dramas still dominated over SAVING THE FUCKING WORLD. So I'm letting out my mean spiritedness a bit and playing up Ruby as a gamer for laughs.

Seriously, fuck Cait Sith in FF7 so much. His story is cool but the character in play? Uggggghhhhh...

If you like him, that's fine, but I'm old school about it and never found him useful.

Re: Zero Regulus Corneas from opinion on Salem:
"Hah! You mean to tell me—that after all my effort, after all my attacks, after the sheer perfection of my power—she's still standing?! Still intact?! Still daring to exist in front of me?!

How insulting! How infuriating! Who does she think she is to simply ignore my attacks?! To stand there as if my absolute, undeniable force is nothing?! Is she under some delusion that she's special?! That she's beyond me?! That just because some pathetic, arbitrary little rule says she can't die, that means she can just disregard my will?!

No! That's not how this works! When I strike, things break! When I will destruction, it happens! I am not some feeble, weak-willed fool swinging around a sword, hoping for an opening! I do not miss! I do not fail! And yet—yet!—she just stands there, as if my power is some passing breeze! As if she has the right to defy me!

It's the worst, the most infuriating thing of all—not just that she lives, but that she dares to act as if she is unaffected! That she doesn't even need to try to endure! What arrogance! What sheer, pathetic, delusional arrogance! As if she believes she is beyond consequence, that she can exist outside the reality that I decide!

But she's wrong. She has to be wrong. There is no such thing as something that cannot be ended! If force doesn't work, then there is something deeper, something more absolute that will shatter her illusion of invincibility! And I will find it! Because I refuse! I reject the very concept that anything could be beyond my reach!

She will break. She must break. Because I do not lose! And I will not be ignored!"

 

[SharkCultist]

Jaune Arc has always felt out of step with the world.

It's something he's tried to ignore, even get therapy for but nothing seems to work, despite all the progress Goodwitch says he's making.

She's lying to us.

He still sometimes sees the shadows flicker with hints of white and baleful red on his lowest days, and sometimes at his most peaceful he'll see a weak glow of white or gold without a clear source.

Trust your instincts. You know the truth.

But regardless of his issues he's on his way to college. Beacon academy the best college in Vale.

There's still people to save.

He's got his stuff together, got his Nikos sneakers and his Valkyrie headphones packed up and ready to go.

Your friends need you.

He's on his way to living the dream (a bathroom without seven sisters!)...so why does it feel so wrong?

You need to break free Jaune.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

Honestly?

Jaune probably wouldn't do a bad job.

The others though........

Jaune - "Why is the back of the truck only filled with tuna and cookies?!?"

Blake - "You said we needed to scavenge essentials for the Radian refugee camp!"

Ruby - "Yeah, essentials!"

Jaune - "Urrgh! Well, I'm sure Weiss and Yang were more sensible, and got those supplies & staff for the hospital."

Some time later.....
​

Yang - "Hey everyone, we're back!"

Jaune - "Oh, thank god! Ruby and Blake totally screwed up and..... what's that?"

Yang - "I got all the shampoo and conditioner the hospital pharmacy had. A girls got to look her best stud!"

Jaune - "Weiss, please tell me you brought back some doctors or nurses to help with hospital here in Radian...."

Weiss - "Why? There are already plenty. I found something far more valuable!"

Jaune - "Dare, I ask what?"

Weiss - "A baker, to replace my beloved cake butler!"

Click to shrink...

Some more time later...
​

Jaune: "Okay Ruby, first? Thank you for fixing all our vehicles and finding the spare parts."

Ruby: "Don't worry! I'll keep our fleet of vehicles running for years!"

Jaune: "But why did you turn one of them into a robot dog?"

Ruby: "His name is Zwei-II, and he's a good boy!"

Jaune: "He's humping the tractor."

Ruby: "He's young! He'll learn!"

Jaune: "He's going to wreck the transmission."

Ruby: "He's trying his best!"

Jaune: "We need that for food."

Ruby: "The tractor looked like a whore anyway!"

Even more later...​

Nick: "Well... That witch sure was a bitch. Unleashing an attack that devastated the planet. But hey! No more Grimm means we can rebuild! But we're gonna need a lot more people to do it!"

Jaune: "Sure are Dad."

Nick: "Which is why your mother and I are having another baby!"

Jaune: "Woah, really?!"

Isabel: "Yes! I used my Semblance and now I'm pregnant again..." Deep sigh "However, given how low the population is... Well..."

Willow: "HAHAHA! I WIN ISABEL!"

Nick: firmly "Willow."

Willow: "Ahem. I mean, I will be a loving and supportive sister wife?"

Nick: "Good."

Jaune: "What."

Isabel: "Well... I suggested that polygamy might be a valid method of increasing the population in the short term. We'll have to be very careful to avoid inbreeding or devolving back into a hunter-gatherer society ruled by harem keeping men, but it is something we'll have to make use of to ensure there is a tomorrow. So yes, Willow will be joining our family."

Willow: "I'm so glad, Jaune! Nick was... Well..." blush "I'm so glad I'll be here! Building a family! And having Nick's children!"

Isabel: "Just remember who was here first?"

Willow: "I'll try."

Glynda: "Ahem... I too will be joining the household, Mister Arc... I mean Jaune."

Jaune: "Professor Goodwitch?!"

Glynda: "It helps we're still friends. Plus, Nick is more tolerable than Qrow. Far fewer fart jokes."

Willow: "And he's hung like a horse!"

Glynda: blush "... That also helps."

Isabel: irritated sigh "Yes, well... It would be best to raise the children in a stable family unit so here we are."

Nick: "Don't worry Izzy! I love you! And I love you all!" hugs them happily "I promise, I'll love all of you and our kids until you get sick of it! Ahahaha!"

Isabel: blush, smile "Well... Maybe this won't be so bad..."

Nick: "And the rest of you young people will have to sort out things yourselves!"

Jaune: "Eh? You mean...? Um..."

Isabel: "Yes Jaune, you're probably going to need to take multiple wives as well. As will other surviving men."

Jaune: "Oh... Well... Can I talk to them one on one before that happens?"

Isabel: "Of course. This is a very serious discussion you need to have with the women in your life-"

Nick: "HEY LADIES! WE'VE DECIDED TO GO FOR POLYGAMY! YOU GUYS SORT OUT WHO WILL MARRY JAUNE AND IN WHAT ORDER!"

Isabel: "NIIIIICK!"

Nick: "What? Better to rip the band-aid off! Besides, I'm sure they're all very rational and reasonable young ladies-"

Weiss: "HE'S MINE YOU BITCHES!"

Ruby: "LIKE HELL! EAT SCYTHE YOU STUCK UP BITCH!"

Yang: "I'M NOT ENDING UP A LONELY LESBIAN WITH A CAT! TAKE THAT!"

Blake: "EXCUSE YOU BITCH?! HE'S MINE!"

Violence ensues.

Nick: "See? Totally rational!"

Jaune: moans

Survivor's of Salem, Part 3

At a indoor cafe in Radian.....
​

Jaune - "Well, this is an certainly unexpected meeting. I didn't expect to see you again Winter, or you Fiona! That goes doubly so for you and May, Arslan!

Winter - "Yes, well, it may be somewhat presumptuous for me to say so, but I don't think any of us are where we expected to be in life. Atlas gone, and my mother soon to be married to your father, pregnant no less..."

May - "I'm grateful that you rescued me during the fall!"

Fiona - "Your town is very nice!"

Arslan - "Your dad was one of my childhood heroes, so meeting him honestly let me cross a longstanding goal off my bucket list..."

Jaune - "I'm glad that you all made it through everything these past couple years, but what's this meeting about?"

Winter - "Of course, lets not forget why we're here. Your are aware, of course, of the current gender imbalance the world faces because of the war."

Jaune - "It's hard not to be, my mother actually caved on Willow being together with my father. If that doesn't say "potential looming societal collapse", nothing does..."

Fiona - "Yes, well, we talked amongst ourselves as to who we could all find as an acceptable husband, and well...."

Arslan - "You were at the top of our respective lists. May's in particular."

Fiona - "The little hearts she put around your name were very well drawn!"

May - *blushes*

Winter - "We wanted to meet to make our case to you, as to why we four are superior marriagable material, as opposed to my sister and her friends."

Arslan - "We're less disaster prone!"

Fiona - "Winter and I are grown women, and bring maturity to the table!

May - " I think... what's that noise?"

A pile of thrashing, biting, punching, and kicking bodies rolls into view...
​

Weiss - "Back off you sluts, I saw him first. First, I say!"

Yang - "More like you were the first to abandon him! Left him for dead, pinned to a tree in the forest during initiation!"

Ruby - "You abandoned me, your younger sister that day too! I never abandoned Jaune, we exploded together, and we journeyed across continents together for justice!"

Blake - "Jaune's first girlfriend was a faunus, that means he prefers me!"

Team RWBY rolls out of view...
​

Jaune - "Girls, you had me at maturity. Let's get hitched before they find us again."

RNJR ends up taking over all those side quests, usurping the rest of WBY's roles. Weiss is horrified when Jaune unlocks Whitley as a party member and, by proxy, the Winter route.

Raven and her tribe become a late game boss fight to unlock Ruby's final equipment tier and the last stage of personal side quests.

Menagerie becomes a new quest hub, after a relatively innocuous sidequest introduces Shere Khan.

Before that, they realize the obvious:

Yang: "GUYS! We missed a critical thing: A critical quest hub that Jaune unlocked early on!"

Weiss: "Stop speaking in nerd! What did he unlock?!"

Yang: "His hometown... IS WHERE HE, NORA AND REN GOT EXTRA TRAINING!"

Blake: "What?! They trained during the timeskip?! OF COURSE!"

Weiss: "Timeskip? What are you talking about-?"

Yang: "So we're gonna get Jaune in here to share what happened!"

Yang later drags Jaune into the room.

Jaune: "Uh, oh, hey girls! I don't know what's going on with Ruby but you're still part of the team! We need everyone!"

Weiss: "You-You mean that Jaune?"

Jaune: "Totally! Though... She's right, you guys do need work."

Yang: "We do, VB! Which is why we came to you! So... How did you train during the timeskip?"

Weiss: "Again, what is a timeskip-?"

Jaune: "Oh, well, my mom and dad trained me, Nora and Ren in Radian. We did some sidequests and worked hard!"

Yang: "Wait, really? But what about Saphron saying your parents didn't care-?"

Jaune: "Eh? Come on, that's silly! What parents would say they didn't care if their only son lived or died? That's like something a hack writer for an anime-esque show that lost its actual creator would come up with!"

Something breaks. They all look at Blake, who is standing next to a table. A broken vase is in pieces on the floor.

Blake: "Sorry. I had to do it."

Jaune: "But uh... Yeah. I mean, what were you guys doing during that the six months?"

Weiss: "Um... Well, I was kind of trapped in my mansion with no supervision except my loyal butler?"

Yang: "Recovering from losing my arm."

Blake: "Brooding in my mansion in Menagerie."

Weiss: "You bitch."

Blake: "I said I was sorry!"

Jaune: "So uh, yeah. That's how me, Ren and Nora were able to get stronger. You want to try?"

Weiss: "I mean... We did kind of want to go on to Atlas-" Yang grabs her "Urk!"

Yang: "The Atlas Arc can wait! WE NEED TO BACKTRACK! Jaune! WE'RE HITTING YOUR HOMETOWN!"

Jaune: "Wait, why me-?!"

Yang: "Because your broken Semblance will let us level up faster! COME ON! WE'RE SPEEDRUNNING THIS BITCH!"

Meanwhile, in Atlas...

Cinder: "... So... We do have an evil plot with an election... Shouldn't we get on with that?"

Salem: shrugs "Eh... I'm in no hurry. Watts? Find a way to delay the election. Maybe stir up some kind of subplot with some new villains. We've gotta have SOMETHING going on!"

Watts: "Why do you keep speaking like this is some kind of show?"

Salem: "If it is a show, it's a boring one! Get Doctor Merlot to make some evil monsters or something!"

Watts: sigh "Yes Mistress..."

Alas, Weiss had a suboptimal starter build that spread points in close quarter, acrobatic fighting on a caster chassis. Whitley being Level 1 means he can be built better and quickly becomes up to par with the rest of the party with a financial and resource discount passive.

And out of sheer spite, dumped a ton of points in the unique Schnee Necromancy skill line.

Weiss: *chokes in disbelief*
Whitley, standing on the back of a Leviathan: "Where's that self-righteousness now, sister?"

Also, Yang realizes that Ruby is stealthily taking over her role as fanservice.

The bwy crew even gets shafted with alternative characters.

They thought it'd be cool when they heard of the Another Arc update and alt character versions.

Unfortunately Another Yang is just a worse version of her mom since she doesn't have her maiden powers or teleport spam.

Another Weiss for some reason is trying to be a tank when she has the HP pool of a wet noodle.

And Another Blake draws all the aggro. Even from allies.

And even if they were halfway decent they'd still be overshadowed by Another Pyrrha and Another Rose.

Another Pyrrha tears through units like butter and has a one time on death auto Resurrection.

And Another Rose was a huge surprise. Everyone was expecting Ruby but it was a secret character drop of Summer!

Damn… if it was a video game Jaune would a pick for every line up ever. Because he can heal, boost, tank, and fight (CQB). And if it's V8 Jaune then he has crowd control abilities as well.

He's also the only one who can heal others outside the healing from aura lol

Things became a lot more peaceful at Beacon after Aqua departed. Jaune certainly appreciated it very much. He had enough to keep on top of, what with the Vytal Festival in a few months, homework, and training.



It didn't help his social life had suddenly become much more active lately. He was now training with Pyrrha, Nana, Papa, Mordred, his team, and RWBY! And all of a sudden more people were dropping in! Not that he minded hanging out with his friends and family, but sometimes a guy wanted a little time to himself!



So he'd hid himself away in the kitchen of one of the unused dorms. He'd closed the blinds and left only the basic lights on, to further conceal himself. His unpacked his groceries, arranged them neatly, then donned his favorite Pumpkin Pete's apron. His plan was to cook a nice chicken dinner for all his friends, and whoever else dropped in. He'd actually become very good at cooking, and doing that for his friends was the least he could do for all they had done for him.



He had prepared the chicken thighs, deboned and defrosted. He had them on a cutting board. He stood over them, checking them over.



He lifted up his knife, and brought it down slowly on the first thigh... Only for a hand to grasp his with an iron tight grip and hold him tightly.



"That's not the way," a man's voice rasped. Jaune trembled. Why hadn't he kept his weapons on him?!



"That's not the way," the man continued, his dark form leaning out of the shadows. A cigarette was held between his lips. He closed his mouth to puff on it, the end illuminating his face.



"... To hold a knife when you're cooking chicken!"



Jaune stared into the face of the older man. He was blond, tall, with a thin dark beard. One of his eyebrows was curled over his forehead, the other, along with his other eye, fully concealed by a shock of blond hair.



In an instant, Jaune relaxed. He held a hand up to his chest and grinned.



"Uncle Trey!" He exclaimed. "Geez, you trying to give me a heart attack?"



Trey chuckled, pulling back enough to slap his nephew on the shoulder.



"Nah, just wanted to have some fun. You're almost as stiff as your mom! Being tense while cooking ruins the food, you know?"



Jaune nodded.



"Ah."



"And cooking in the dark?" Trey scoffed. He walked over to the lightswitches and turned them all on, fully illuminating the room. Trey was dressed in a simple (if somewhat ruffled) black pinstripe suit with a maroon undershirt and black tie. Jaune grinned at him and shrugged.



"Sorry. Just trying to get some time to myself. It's been hectic!"



"Mm, so I've heard," Trey stated, taking another drag off his cigarette before taking it between his fingers. He held it as he scowled darkly at Jaune. "You've disappointed me, Jaune."



Jaune gulped. Despite the lighting, his uncle's face was dark with shadows. He walked back towards Jaune slowly, grim fury in his eyes.



"I-I mean, what did I-?"



"I can't believe you," Trey growled, shaking some ash off his cigarette, "after all I've done for you... All I sacrificed for our family... To be betrayed by my own flesh and blood...!"



Jaune shrank back, taking several steps away until he bumped into the oven. He looked back, and then looked forward. He held in a squeak of terror as his uncle loomed over him, face to face.



"But I-What do you-?!"



Trey then sniffled... Pulled back... And began to cry. He held up his arm over his eyes and sobbed.



"My own nephew! Collecting a harem when his poor uncle is still single!"



Jaune blinked. He blinked twice. He sighed heavily and his shoulders drooped as he stared in exasperation as his bawling uncle.



"Uncle Trey, I don't have a harem!" He insisted. "I'm very good friends with several girls but we're friends! That's it!"



Trey glared death at his nephew.



"Don't lie to spare your uncle's feelings!" He roared, "That's unbecoming of a man!"



Jaune held up his hands and waved them.



"No! Nonono! It's NOT a harem! We haven't done anything!"



"WELL WHY NOT?!" Trey demanded, shaking his fists, "ARE YOU STRINGING THEM ALL ALONG OR SOMETHING?!"



"N-NO! NO! OF COURSE NOT!" Jaune insisted.



Trey held up his Scroll and flipped through several images. Images of Jaune out and about with many of the girls in his life.



"WELL EXPLAIN ALL THIS!" Trey demanded, shoving the Scroll in Jaune's face. Jaune gulped and shook his head as he looked at the picture of himself and Ruby in cosplay as Knightmare and Vampire Girl. Ruby was hugging his arm very tightly as they posed for the camera.



"Those?! We-We just went out for fun! Ruby wanted to go to a comic convention!"



"AND THIS?!" Trey demanded, flipping to an image of him winning a stuffed animal for a happy Yang.



"Well there was a street carnival and Yang wanted to enter the dance contest!" Jaune explained, "And I got her a stuffed bear! As friends!"



"AND THIS?!" Trey seethed, flipping to an image of Blake and Jaune eating sushi.



"We just ate some sushi! She fed me some, I fed her some-As friends!"



"AND THIS?!"



"Pyrrha needed a ride to a meeting with her agent! Epona wanted to go for a ride! She held onto me because she doesn't know how to ride a horse! Again, all friendly!"



"AND THIS?!"



"I just made Weiss some cake to apologize for Cousin Alice weirding her out! As friends! How did you get all these pictures anyway?!"



"I have friends who are very good hackers when they're NOT MAKING OUT IN FRONT OF ME," Trey seethed. He scowled at Jaune and held his Scroll up again. "You seriously don't think any of this is more than friendly? At all?"



"NO!" Jaune exclaimed. "Not a bit!"



Trey stared at Jaune. He looked back over the photos. Each girl wore a blush, or a not-so-hidden look of longing or admiration. Even Weiss, though that may have just been the cake.



Trey sighed, and kicked Jaune in the face.



"OW!" Jaune yelped, rubbing his chin, "What was that for?!"



"For making life harder for the rest of us," Trey grumbled. He shook his head. "Still! Since we're blood relatives and I love you and your dear mother... I will help you out!"



"Er... Thanks Uncle Trey?" Jaune managed. Trey nodded firmly.



"Indeed... I have to admire you, Jaune," he said. He began to sniffle. "Like me, you have put aside love with beautiful women for a greater goal! For the greater good!"



Jaune blinked, but slowly nodded.



"Yeah... I want to be a hero, like Dad, Mom, Nana, Papa, Uncle Alex, Uncle Brand, Aunt Irene... And-And you!" He said earnestly.



Trey sniffled, manly tears running down his cheeks. He hugged his nephew and slapped him on the back.



"That's utterly inspiring, Jaune!"



He then tightened his grip painfully and Jaune yelped.



"BUT WHY DID YOU HAVE TO INHERIT YOUR FATHER'S OBLIVIOUS HAREM LEAD POWERS?!" He roared.



"I-I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!"



"EXACTLY!"

Second part will be up in a while. But how is this? I think I figured out how to fit Trey/Sanji in without too much bother.

 

[Darkatlas]

Are we sure that Uncle Trey isn't a failed insert or something?? I get the feeling that he tried to get a girlfriend or two but utterly failed and is now living vicariously through Jaune

 

[Frankie626]

Who is Trey? I have no clue who he is.

He is heavily based upon Sanji Vinsmoke from One Piece.

Sanji

For the chapters of the same name, see Chapter 43 and Chapter 843. "Black Leg" Sanji,[12] born as Vinsmoke Sanji,[21][22][23] is the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of the Senior Officers of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.[5] He is the fifth member of the crew and the fourth to join, doing so...

He isn't an Insert, he is Jaune's Guardian Angel because heaven knows that boy needs one or a dozen.

I can honestly see sanji as being part of the arc family. But I feel like he has had his "appreciation" of women toned down somewhat by them.

 

[Darkatlas]

And I think that you managed to pretty accurately get Sanji's personality.

He's better... Mostly. Here he ran off not because his family was abusive-Quite the opposite! After their parents died, Isabel worked very hard to support her younger siblings. They all went off to make money and lives of their own after they were old enough thanks to her hard work. Trey went to the sea and became a chef under Zeff, who became the father figure Trey needed. He loves his dead parents and his big sister Isabel very much. So he's not quite as big a horndog.

Though after being on the Okama island for two years, I can completely understand him going nuts over beautiful real women. Poor guy.

It's also a common nickname for the third. Source, I'm B III and Trey was my nickname to make it clear if you were talking about my Dad, who got the middle name, my grandad, who got the first name, or me.

Yeah now we need to do is find pudding and he won't be single anymore seriously those two are actually cute together

I would like to point out the scary precision of Glynda's telekinesis.

Spoiler: She's an Omega Level Mutant i swear

With her telekinesis, she can seed hailstorms by controlling the dust and moisture from atmosphere and rapidly induce ice crystal formation using the Joule-Thompson effect to cool down the atmospheric gases.

This absolute Beast of a fighter can easily rip out individual skin cells if she so wanted or most probably make a clean incision and sperate your Skeleton from your body and leave everything else intact.

Forget defeating maidens. She can pulverize them like fucking glass in an industrial grinder, melt them, and recycle their flesh.

Eh, way I see it she can't directly interfere with a person. Or directly control something too close to them. But everything else? Well within her abilities.
