Actor AU6

Ruby:You know what’s funny about filming a movie where you’re aged up? *steps aside*

Summer:*in DC costume* Sup.

Ruby:I wonder how many people are going to notice the difference.

Summer:They’ll know it’s me when the acting improves.

Ruby:Wow!

xxxxxxx

Blake:Excuse me ma’am. Where’s the bathroom?

Yang:Oh it’s just…*flexes bicep* That way to the left.

Blake:Haha, why thank you.

Yang:There’s also one to the…*flexes tricep* right over here.

Nora:Stop it before you pull something you dork.

xxxxxx

Interviewer: So, Yang Xiao Long, fans have noticed you got a few gains for this movie.

Yang:Yep! Never again haha!

Interviewer:What? Why not.

Weiss:She was such a baby off set.

Yang:Mad respect for personal trainers and gym enthusiasts. I like to feel a burn but I missed my arms not being sore. Adam would literally be nice enough to make me oatmeal and I’d just look at sadly because I don’t want to lift the spoon.

Interviewer:Was it as painful for the rest of you?

Blake:I actually think I like protein shakes now and that’s deeply upsetting.

Weiss:I’ve always lived the gym life. They wanted more squats so I gave them more squats.

xxxxxx

Ruby:*sitting sadly*

Superman:*sits beside her* It seems you have a lot on your mind?

Ruby:A lot has changed since we last met; big changes. Atlas fell, my sister and I got into a fight, now we’re here and…Jessica keeps asking about Jaune.

Superman:*tucks lips in* Mmhmm..

Ruby:Like…damn bitch, it was adventure. Let it go.

Crew laughing in the background

Ruby:I got dozens with this guy. Get in line!

xxxxxx

Ozpin:*swinging cane*

Ruby:*getting beaten*

Jessica:*off screen*…I’m actually the director on this episode.

Ruby:*having a panic attack*

Jessica:I wish I was joking. I needed the experience.

xxxxxx

Blake:Guys, I think I know where we are.

Beautiful wide panning shot

Blake:…I think we’re in Candy Land~

Weiss:Fuck ooooffff. *covers face* That was so random! Ahaha!

Yang:Honestly falling from your world into Candy Land sounds more terrifying than a place like Wonderland.

Bloop!

Blake:I think we’re in Wonderland.

Director Roman:Ever After…

Blake:*nods*…I said that so confidently to. Holy hell…

xxxxxx

Jaune:Today I met a little girl who was a RWBY fan. She asked me if there was any way to come back stage to pet Juniper. *bites muffin* I couldn’t tell her that Juniper was a prop.

Neo:So what did you say?

Jaune:I told her I actually don’t get to see him either. Now both of our days are ruined. This job is cruel.

xxxxxx

Pyrrha:Sup guys. It’s me, here to traumatize you again. *flips camera*

Penny:I’m here for the kill assist.

Pyrrha:You think we’ll be in final episode somehow?

Penny:Oh absolutely. I signed up for the role of “Ruby’s friend” and somehow landed “ghost of the narrative” by mistake.

Pyrrha:Saaame! Funny how that works out.

xxxxxx

Weiss:Where are Blake and Yang?

Jaune:Must’ve had bigger things to work out.

Meanwhile on storming bridge

Yang:Bl- what the!?

Adam:*draws sword* THIS ONE IS FOR ALL THE MARBLES!!

Blake:Sorry! The more I tried to not of the worst situation, the harder it got!

Yang:…*looks at camera* Can we keep this?

Roman:No.

Yang:But I want another cool fight!

xxxxxx

Oscar:*getting makeup done*

Penny:Ready to die on screen?

Oscar:Yeah. I took notes from the best.

Penny:So you’ve been looking at me?

Oscar:Whenever I can.

Penny:*giggles*

Coco:Hold still and stop flirting!

xxxxxx

Jabberwok:*crumbles into Neo*

Neo:*finger guns*…..*makes Adam*

Blake:Oh my gooood!

Yang:*grinning* THIS ONE IS FOR ALL THE MARBLES!

Adam:JUST WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR! FACE MEEEEE!

Ruby:At this point you should just put him at the tea party.

Nora:You don’t even canonically know him!

Ruby:But it would be hilarious!

Weiss:What kills me is an army of Adams would probably be more effective than the Jabberwoks.

xxxxx

Ruby:*in a bat suit* This is the secret life option the blacksmith didn’t want to reveal.

Weiss:Ruby calls on quits and chooses Gotham over Remnant.

Blake:Willingly going to Gotham City is crazy. Life is not that bad.

Ruby:I don’t wanna take this off.

[ficretus]

RWBY teams get reorganized.

CRWBY: Hello RWBY characters.

Ruby: Who are you? Are you Gods?

Salem: Please tell me you are destroying the world.

Cinder: What do you mean RWBY characters? Does that mean that brat is the protagonist?

CRWBY: No, no, yes. Higher ups in Viz demanded we make some changes to the show. So we are gonna reorganize the teams based on the origin of their fairy tale allusion.

Yang: I didn't understand a single word you just said.

CRWBY: Andddd... reshuffle!

*magic poof*

TEAM GERMANY:

Ruby: Why do I no longer like strawberries and cookies?

Weiss: Take this pretzel and shut up.

Ruby: Weiss? We are still partners?

Weiss: Of course we are, nothing can separate us.

Ruby: That's great. Where are the others?

Weiss: It appears they are not German enough for our team.

Ruby: Look! There is another one of our teammates! *turns into rose petals*

Weiss: Ruby, don't jump a complete stranger like that.

Ruby: *tackles them down* Hello, I am Ruby Ro... oh.

Salem: Somehow this curse keeps getting worse.

Weiss: Scheisse!

TEAM FRANCE:

Oscar: I hope ze Ruby is my partner, hon hon hon. Ugh, what the hell happened to my voice.

Ozpin: Oscar, you are taking a dangerous route I cannot follow.

Oscar: Oz, what ze happening?

Ozpin: You are turning French. *soul gets ejected from Oscar's body*

Oscar: Nooooooo. It feels like part of me is missing now. I have a sudden urge to fill it with cheese and wi... Sacrebleu, I am really turning into ze Frenchman. I need to talk to someone, where are my teammates. *hears loud noises* There they are.

*walks up*

Oscar: Bonj... Hello, I am Oscar.

Cinder: We know who you are Farm Boy. Now, as the leader of this team...

Jaune: Who the hell put you in charge of this team?! Why are you even on this team, Cinderella story has many origins!

Cinder: Because I am Cinderella with glass slippers nimrod! Only French one has glass slippers!

Jaune: Great, I'm on the team with Pyrrha's murderer.

Cinder: Oh give me a break, they revived her. She is over there tossing Mercury. You are just salty because now there is no excuse for you not getting laid.

Oscar: Wait, why am I the only one with ze French accent?

Blake: Because you are an impressionable kid.

Oscar: Blake! You are ze here too!

Blake: *chuckles* Yes I am.

Jaune: Oh shut up!

Cinder: Make me!

Blake: How long will it take before they start making out?

TEAM ENGLAND:

Yang: Of course it's raining. Can this place get any worse?

Jax: Hello peasant.

Yang: I am gonna pretend I didn't hear that.

Jax: Me and my sister need someone to observe our polo game. Now move your arse.

Gilian: Polo? I am not playing polo with you Jax. You always rile up my horse with your Semblance!

Jax: So what? Are we suppose to just sit here and drink tea?

Gilian: I wouldn't mind that. Peasant, bring us some tea! And make sure it is Darjeeling, otherwise I might throw up.

*Yang knocks out both*

Yang: Can't pretend twice in the row.

Blake: Yang, is that you?

Yang: Blake! Where are you?

Blake: I am on the other side of the Channel!

Yang: What's going on on the other side?

Blake: Jaune and Cinder fighting... scratch that... making out. Oscar is losing himself to his French side. Toss me some fish and chips before his Frenchness fully overtakes him. You know what, throw some for me as well.

Yang: Are we suppose to be enemies now that you are French and I'm English?

Blake: Yes we are, but that's so hot.

Yang: Oh yeah. Wait, someone else is here.

Robyn: *pickpocketing Asturias siblings* No time to explain, I'm repurposing their funds.

TEAM NORDIC:

Winter: This is something new. I... I've never had a partner or team. I just hope it's not...

Qrow: Hello Ice Queen!

Winter: Branwen...

Qrow: It turns out Ice Queen is based on Snow Queen, how original.

Winter: What are you even doing here? Don't you have some other places to be, other people to bother?

Qrow: Nope, I am as Nordic as it gets. It turns out I am based on one of the Odin's messengers. Other one being... oh crap.

Raven: Hello brother!

Qrow: Raven... Don't you have some other places to be, family members to abandon?

Raven: And miss out on this? No way.

Winter: Wait a minute... You kidnapped Weiss!

Raven: Oh please, she ran into me. Can hardly count it as kidnapping.

Winter: Oh don't worry, this will hardly count as a beatdown. *draws swords*

Raven: Pfff, another Maiden to beat.

Nora: Heya Qrow, what did I miss.

Qrow: Not much kid, just some of the reasons I started drinking.

TEAM USA:

Ozpin: Come on James, don't be a buzzkill, we are doing the Wizard of Oz walk.

Ironwood: I am starting to believe that it wasn't a coincidence I tried to kill you.

Ozpin: Ha ha ha, good old James and his deadpan humor.

*walks down the road holding hands with Glynda, Theodore and Lionheart*

Adam: So, drinking alone on the sideline.

Ironwood: What are you doing here Taurus? Aren't you suppose to be on Team France?

Adam: Well, I tried. But they argued I don't count since most of my allusion comes from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. And Blake filed a restraining order... typical.

Ironwood: You know I can have you arrested.

Adam: Arrest a teammate? Who does that?

Ironwood: I do.

Adam: Fair enough. You know, I stabbed a teammate before.

Ironwood: Cheers.

Adam: Cheers.

TEAM ITALY:

Penny: *sad lonely robot noises* Wait, who is there?

Neo: *signs* It's me, Neo. *sits next to Penny*

Penny: Aren't you based on an ice cream?

Neo: *signs* It's an Italian ice cream. Do you want to be alone?

Penny: No. *shifts closer*

Weakest link

Cinder: Hello.

Jaune: Cinder.

Ruby: What do want?

Cinder: Salem wants all of you gone so she sent me her strongest agent to take care of all you peasants.

Jaune: Wow really? She sends her weakest agent to deal with us. Pathetic.

Cinder: Um excuse me.

Jaune: I said what I said. I mean come on she could have at least sent a more competent ally.

Cinder: Competent? I am capable to take care of you.

Jaune: Ruby can stare you to stone and we can kill you after. Hell isn't that the reason you had Neo fight alongside you?

Cinder: um.

Jaune: Speaking of Neo, how did she end up falling into the Ever After? You can fly so you could have caught her.

Cinder: Um…

Jaune: Oh no, why? Why did you let her fall?

Cinder: She threatened me!

Jaune: How?

Cinder: You see, we made a deal to kill Ruby together. As long as I get what I wanted.

Jaune: Which was?

Cinder: The relic of course and the maiden powers.

Jaune: I mean that was your fault. You fumbled the bag on maiden powers twice. Regardless, Neo brought you the relic. Twice

Cinder: And?

Jaune: And did you keep your end of the bargain?

Cinder: Well-

Jaune: No. Especially since she fell with the target. Has she ever complained or defied your orders?

Cinder: I mean no- I mean she brought it up but still.

Jaune: You mother- so Neo was being a decent person to you. And you decided to repay her by killing her. For nothing.

Cinder: … …

Jaune: Not to mention you used knowledge and now it's useless to everybody. Meaning Salem, who is in Vale, probably looking for the relic of choice, vigorously. Because somebody, you, used up the last question which would have made it easier to find. Dumbass.

Cinder: I mean… it's not that bad.

*Somewhere else*

Tyrian: My queen. Are you sure?

Salem: Yes, Tyrian, I want you to kill her and make Gillian my new maiden. And if you feel the need to, kill Mercury as well.

Tyrian: But ma’am-

Salem: Tyrian, Watts is dead. Ozpin is still alive and now the relics are useless to me. Both of them are. Because I don't have a scientist to use creation, you know, in order to construct and build new ways to upgrade the Grimm because Cinder left him to die.

Tyrian: … oh.

Salem: Cinder has failed me not once. Not twice. Not thrice. Not four. But five. Five times that girl has failed me.

Tyrian: What is the fifth one for?

Salem: Team Rwby.

Tyrian: Ah.

Salem: I let her side too many times. Six will not be the last. If she makes another mistake, get rid of her.

Tyrian: Yes my queen.

*Back to Cinder and Jaune*

Jaune: You dumb as hell. You are most definitely the weakest link.

Cinder: I-

Jaune: Heaven Academy, you and Raven were working together so how was Yang able to get the relic?

Cinder: Because Raven betrayed me.

Yang: Then how did Vernal die?

Cinder: I killed her.

Jaune: You got to be f***** with me right now. You killed Vernal, why?

Cinder: Maiden powers.

Jaune: … … …

Emerald: I should have probably mentioned this but we had a plan before but she changed it at the last minute.

Cinder: Emerald!

Emerald: I don't work for you now.

Jaune: Y'all had a plan before. Why didn't you use it?

Emerald: Ruby.

Jaune: Of course… of course. Ruby. Ruby is the main reason. And you… … you didn't -*laughs* you still haven't killed her yet. *laughs in harder* You- you had so many opportunities and still didn't kill her. Heaven I can understand but Atlas. Atlas. You didn't even attempt to look for her. You had so much time on your hands and you didn't do shit. Wow. Oh my God. *Laughs even louder*

Cinder: *embarrassed* you still can't beat me though.

Jaune: Oh baby for how many times I topped you, it's only a matter of time before I am fully capable of taking your life. Shit I almost did.

Cinder: Damn it. Well since we're on the topic, you, Jaune Arc, are the-

Jaune: No. I'm far from being the weakest link.

Ruby: Well I mean-

Jaune: Yang and Blake decided to give information to Robyn who before was prepared to start a fight with the military. Which caused us to be deemed traitors.

Ruby: Okay but-

Jaune: Yang loses many of her fights and sometimes she gets an attitude which escalates the situation making it worse than it needs to be.

Ruby: True But-

Jaune: Weiss barely does anything. In fact there were moments she was completely useless. And she has a variety of skills in her reservoir.

Ruby: Well-

Jaune: Qrow is a weaker link than all of us.

Cinder: *laughs*Damn right. You're right Jaune. *laughs louder* Like he saved Amber at the last minute. He should have had a glimpse of who we are. Mercury remembered before he could remembered us. And what so crazy was we infiltrated your school right, which should have cameras. He couldn't even try to identify us. Not that he could though considering he was an alcoholic so he probably forgot about us.

Jaune: Yeah he was. He even started a fight for no reason.

Ruby: Jaune-

Jaune: And then Heaven he was horrible. He was getting whooped more than us except Weiss. She had it worse.

Cinder: In Mistral and Atlas. Speaking of Atlas, Tyrian was under his watch. Tell me, why would he work with one criminal and then Tyrian against another hunter on duty. Then when Tyrain kills them and gets away he turns himself in. For what?

Jaune: Damn. He is an idiot. Worthless ass mother f****.

Ruby: Okay, Cinder I can ignore, but Jaune, that's my uncle and my teacher, please stop insulting him.

Jaune: That explains a lot on how your such a f*** up.

Cinder: Damn! Oh no, how is it possible for the whole family to be filled with weak links? *Laughs* Oh God. Oh God. No wonder their family is messed up.

Yang: *tears falling*

Jaune: Anyways Cinder, you are Salem’s worst ally. You have screwed her and your allies so bad that you might as well be the hero of the story.

Cinder: Huh.

Jaune: I mean a lot of Salem's plans have been compromised because of you. You and Ruby might as well be same because you both are a hindrance to those who work with you.

Cinder: Okay I let some of what you said slide but -

Jaune: Oscar stole your girl.

Cinder: … …

Jaune: He stole your only bitch. He upgraded from loli to hotty. No effort. Neo, who I'm sure isn't dead, will return. With a vengeance. And not just her. You got Raven. You got Winter. And you got myself coming after you. You might as well give up cause you ain't going to make it and what’s crazy about this is you brought this upon yourself. You're done. Give up. You had multiple opportunities but you fumbled all of them because of your damn ego. Better run and make a new life for yourself because if we catch you, you're done. Game over. Finished.

Cinder: Oh shit.

Can the RWBY Character say the Bad word for Gay?

Based on those shorts by Jake Blennings

Ruby: Yes, But she won't.

Weiss: Yes, and Has, originally as an insult, but now as a matter of pride in her bisexuality.

Blake: Yes, but chooses not to.

Yang: I cannot fathom Entertaining the Idea that she can't. She's a sapphic that catches on fire, the word was LITERALLY MADE FOR HER

Jaune: Yes, And has, but only because he didn't know what it meant so he asked his mom, and when he learned what it meant he washed his mouth out with soap and threw up because he was scared he was homophobic.

Pyrrha: Yes, but won't, both because she personally doesn't want to, and she'd be cancelled faster than Ruby eating a platter of cookies.

Nora: Yes, uses it as both a compliment and an insult.

Ren: Yes, but when he says it he more likely means a bundle of sticks.

Oscar: Yes, but when he says it he more likely means a bundle of sticks.

Emerald: Yes. She hasn't, but she could.

Mercury: Yes, but he thinks he isn't allowed to. Does anyway.

Cinder: Yes. Like Yang, but. Evil.

Neopolitan: Yes, but she doesn't speak, so no? Like, she can speak, she chooses not to, but-

Roman: My Man wears eye-shadow and acts like a theater kid. He can say. Even if he's cishet, I'm giving him a pass for the word.

Qrow: Yes. This man is SO Bisexual, trust me.

Raven: On one hand I want to say no because of vibes, on the other hand I want to say yes because I enjoy Rosebird and Hellbirds, and in a third hand, there's the ones that REALLY ship Rosebird and Hellbirds pointing a .38 Colt Revolver at me, so I think she can say it.

Taiyang: oh he can FUCKING Say it, if it mean she can take me out to dinner.

Summer: oh GODs Yes.

Ozpin: Yes, he can. He won't, but he could.

Glynda: I'm gonna be honest ... I don't think so, not just a faculty member of prestigious school, she's just ... I dunno. Not strong vibes for or against her saying it.

Oobleck: No he can't, and he doesn't.

Port: No he can't, but does because he means a Cigar/Cigarette

Jacques: No, does anyway knowing FULL Well what it means.

Ironwood: No, does anyway but he means a bundle of sticks.

Winter: Yes. She doesn't know she can, but she can.

Willow: Can, has, and will.

Whitley: See; Weiss, but with the understanding he hasn't realized it yet.

Robyn: I'm sorry, this woman is fighting against the Government with a band of other, strong, smart, capable women Of course She can fucking SAY it.

Kali: Yes, Doesn't because she's married to a political figure.

Ghira: Yes, IF IT MEANS HE CAN TAKE ME OUT TO DINNER-

[akiraarabella]

Is it just me or the volume 9 ost is just perfect? I was saving the songs that i liked while watching this whole show and the most songs that i saved are from volume 9. Its either that or im just a sucker for this show which is also most likely but WHO CARES! I just finished the whole series in two days 😎😎😎 and after hearing the ost i wanna go back and watch it again just to pay attention more.

Also its fascinating to see how much the animation quality got better and better each season. Like in the first season they didnt bother to animate the NPCs but now! And dont even get me started on this story!

Chapter 1: Into the Flames

Abandoned Deceived Route

Jaune turned onto his side as the sun bled through the curtains, hitting his face. He opened his eyes to see his girlfriend, Weiss. His head began to hurt as his mind raced with the different options he'll have to face. He slowly dragged himself out of bed as he held his head.

Jaune: Ugh, this headache. What should I do...

His voice trailed on while he walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth. As Jaune was in the bathroom Weiss finally woke up and began to get dress.

Weiss: Jaune! Are you in the bathroom?

Jaune: Y-Yeah, I'm almost done!

Weiss: Alright don't come out yet. I'm still getting dressed.

Weiss slipped out of her nightwear and into her dress. The group had planned to meet with Haven's headmaster in hopes of enrolling. Jaune though... he had other plans. He looked at himself in the mirror, noticing the bags under his eyes he began talking to his reflection.

Jaune: This is it, huh? I knew they'd catch up to me soon... Cinder, I've come to a decision... I'm sorry, Weiss.

As Weiss strapped Myrtenaster to her waist Jaune stepped out of the bathroom allowing Weiss to enter. He walked over to Gan Jiang and Mo Ye sitting on the table. He stared at the rope connecting the two for a bit.

Jaune: ... Would a chain be better?

He shrugged before he tied his weapon across his torso.

Jaune: Weiss, I'm gonna go ahead and see if the others are ready. I'll wait for you out front, okay?

Weiss: Y-Yeah that's fine.

Jaune made his way through the halls, examining the burn scars on his hands as he did. In the living room he only found Ren, Nora, Ruby, Qrow, and Oscar to be ready.

Jaune: So we're just waiting for Yang and Weiss?

Nora nodded after looking around.

Nora: Yup! Seems like it.

With a sigh Jaune sat down beside Ruby. The girl blushed, clearly still not over her feelings for Jaune. She began moving a hand closer to the boy before Weiss turned the corner and moved to sit on her boyfriend's lap, glaring at Ruby. Ruby looked away, a look of shame on her face.

Ruby: S-Sorry.

The tension quickly dissipated as Yang turned the corner appearing to be in a rush.

Yang: S-Sorry I took so long!

Ren uncrossed his arms as he sat up.

Ren: It's fine... as long as we're all ready to go.

Yang nervously rubbed the back of her head as the others stood up.

Jaune: It looks like we're all ready. Oscar, did you manage to get some training with that cane.

Oscar: Y-Yeah... I still could use some work, but I should be good.

Jaune: That's good... You might need it soon.

Everyone questioned Jaune's vague statement. However, their trust in him was too great for their own good.

/ / /

Jaune steeled his resolve as the group walked to Haven.

Jaune: 'I can't fail Salem.'

The academy was just up ahead, the silence was still. There wasn't a single student chattering amongst one another. It was... ominous.

Ren: Huh... I guess school is still out.

Ren made sure to keep a lookout, his paranoia only grew with the silence. As the group entered the school they found themselves face to face with Leornardo, Haven's headmaster. However, the look on his face was a nervous on.

Ozpin: Leo... what is the meaning of this?

Jaune gripped the roped of his Meteor Hammer, a stern expression on his face. Everyone else quickly followed suit, grabbing their weapons as Leonarder grabbed his and Cinder walked out from behind him.

Ruby: Cinder... what are you-

Ruby cut herself off as Emerald, Mercury, and three new faces walked out. Raven, Vernal, and a burly man by the name Hazel. Jaune gritted his teeth as Cinder's group got down and stood in front of our heroes.

Jaune: So... this is what you meant.

Our heroes looked at Jaune.

Ruby: Jaune... is something wrong.

Ruby tried to reach out to the boy before he started to walk towards Cinder, Gan Jiang in one hand and Mo Ye in the other. Yang cocked her gauntlets.

Yang: Jaune, Cinder is dangerous you shouldn't face her alone.

Jaune: ... I'm sorry.

With a dark expression on his face, Jaune swung Gan Jiang towards Yang. As Yang is knock back Ruby quickly catches her.

Ruby: Jaune... what is the meaning of this?!

Jaune: I had a choice, Ruby. I can't stay with you.

Weiss tightened her grip on her rapier.

Weiss: So you're leaving us? What about me! You wouldn't just... leave me, right?

Jaune noticed the tear stream down Weiss' face. His expression however was indifferent.

Jaune: ... I have a larger role to play. I'm sorry.

Her heart broke at his words, at his indifference. She... thought what they had was special. Ruby took his words even harder though. Had all this meant nothing to the boy? No, he loved them there was no doubt in his mind. He simply owes his life to Salem.

Jaune: I can't play pretend anymore... I was never meant to be a hero.

Weiss used her glyphs to rush Jaune, but Emerald had wrapped a chain around the heiress and pulled her toward her.

Emerald: Sorry, but I'm not letting you near him that easily.

The standoff was over everyone had to pick their fights. Oscar/Ozpin went against Leo, Yang rushed Mercury, Nora and Ren had to face off against Hazel, and Qrow chose to stop his sister. Ruby... she had to face off against her former friend and Cinder.

Ruby: Jaune... were you ever really our friend?

He remained stoic, dodging the reaper's sweeps with ease. Their fight was no different than a dance.

Jaune: I was... but I don't intend to keep my true alliance a secret anymore.

His words merely fueled her anger towards his betrayal.

Ruby: You... so you don't even have a reason!?

Her sweeps grew sporadic, uncaring for any damage she'd have to endure. Tears welled up in her eyes and she was unable to endure any more blows. The boy used Gan Jiang to strike her side and send her flying; Ruby's aura flashed as she hit the wall.

Yang: Ruby.

As soon as Yang was distracted Mercury struck her open back.

As soon as Ruby was down Cinder signaled to Jaune and Raven to head to the vault.

Cinder: Let's go already!

Raven knocked Qrow to the ground as she and Vernal followed Cinder and Jaune. As the four got on the elevator Yang quickly stood up and knocked Mercury away with the help of her semblance.

/ / /

In the elevator Jaune was finally fed up with being left in the dark.

Jaune: Alright, Cinder... what in the world is going on?

Cinder: ... I suppose it's only right for you to know… Salem requires us to gather the four relics.

Jaune: The... Relics?

Cinder: Right... she never told you. The relics... the crown of choice, staff of creation, sword of destruction, and the lamp of knowledge. Our mission is to... stop Ozpin... and humanity.

Jaune: ... You mean destroy humanity?

Cinder: Sadly yes... I... understand if this turns you away-

Jaune: I'm in.

Raven: Wait what?

Raven looked at the boy with a confused expression.

Raven: Kid, you do realize you can die?

Jaune: So? Not like I can go back.

Cinder stared at the boy worried before placing a hand on his cheek.

Cinder: Are you certain this is what you want?

Jaune gently pushed her hand away and stared into her eyes.

Jaune: Absolutely... I'm done not knowing which side I want to be on.

She smiled at the boy's answer.

Cinder: That's... alright, I won't stop you.

Jaune: So, what do we need to do?

Cinder: Each relic is held in one of the four major academies. Each in a vault requiring a maiden to open it.

Jaune: A maiden? I think I remember hearing something like that during the fall of Beacon.

Cinder: Yes... the four maidens of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. I... have the powers of the Fall Maiden. We needed the Spring Maiden to open the vault here in Haven.

Jaune: I see... and I assume that's one of you?

Vernal: ... That would be me.

As Vernal spoke Cinder grew skeptical, but she chose to remain silent.

The rest of the elevator ride was silent, none of them choosing to utter a word. After a while they finally stopped, and when the doors opened they found themselves face to face with a long and narrow bridge overlooking a large chasm, leading to two large doors.

Jaune: Is this the vault, Cinder?

Cinder: Yes... this is it. Well, go on and open it.

Raven and Vernal walked ahead of the two. The elevator had gone back up as soon as everyone walked onto the bridge. Jaune could feel tension in the air the closer they got to the vault. Vernal took a deep breath as she placed a hand on the doors. Cinder glared at the "Maiden" before manifesting a spear of fire.

The bandit's eyes widened as she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen; looking down she saw it, a spear pierced through her gut. As the spear disappeared she stumbled back before clutching her abdomen and falling off the bridge.

Jaune's expression remained unchanged.

Jaune: You saw through her lie as well, huh?

Cinder: Yes... yes I did. Now, Raven... open the vault.

The bandit clenched her fist and gritted her teeth.

Raven: You... you killed her and expect me to just listen?

The boy pointed Mo Ye at her.

Jaune: You hear Cinder... open the vault already.

Raven: No...

The Spring Maiden's voice trailed on as the wind began to twirl around her. With fiery eyes she glared at the duo.

Raven: If you think I'm just going to obey then you have another thing coming.

Cinder's eyes narrowed at the maiden as she accepted the maiden's challenge.

Cinder: I'm not asking.

Cinder drew a bow of fire as Raven prepared to launch a ball of fire. Jaune was not about to back down and prepared to throw Gan Jiang at the spring maiden.

Jaune: Back down Raven... You're outnumbered.

Raven however was not about to start listening to reason. Before long the ball of fire was launched at Cinder, creating an explosion big enough to engulf the two.

Cinder: Gah!! Jaune!

Jaune was launched backwards, but he was still on the bridge. Cinder's flight was interrupted, and before she could retain stability Raven launched another at a stalacite that was overhead. A large chunk was chipped off, and hit the Fall Maiden, knocking her out. Before Jaune could react Raven kicked Cinder's unconscious body off of the bridge.

Jaune: Cinder!! You'll pay-

Raven: You're outclassed, boy.

He clenched his grip and attempted to hit Raven with Gan Jiang. She was too fast however, and she managed to hit Jaune off the bridge before he could react. His eyes widened as he felt himself falling.

Jaune: 'Was this it?'

Out of desparation he tried to wrap Mo Ye around one of the support beams, but the rope fell short. The last thing he saw before the darkness of the chasm engulfed him was Raven opening the vault as a blonde came out of the elevator.

/ / /

How long had he been falling? A minute? An hour? When he saw finally caught up to Cinder he knew he had to save her. With a sigh he accepted his fight and changed his trajectory, grabbing onto Cinder and pulling her close as soon as he saw the opportunity. As he held the maiden he used Mo Ye to hook onto the walls of the chasm.

Once they came to a stop the boy noticed a pool of water.

Jaune: Water? Then maybe...

His dissapointment grew as the only piece of dry land was directly across the lake.

Jaune: You owe me for this, Cinder.

He examined the heavy head of Gan Jiang before letting go of Mo Ye and dropping into the water. Still holding onto Cinder he swam onto the small piece of land, and he set Cinder down as he rested on his back, gasping for air.

Jaune: Gah! Hah... hah... jeez... my clothes are all... wet...

His voice trailed on as he sat up and noticed how Cinder's wet clothes hugged her body tightly. He blushed before looking away and seeing Mo Ye still stuck on the wall of the chasm.

Jaune: I should probably go get that.

Already wet he jumped back into the water. Once he was close enough he grabbed the head on Gan Jiang.

Jaune: Now... how do I get back? I feel like I'd sink almost immediately if I... got it.

He climbed up the rope to yank Mo Ye out of the wall. Once he fell into the water he hugged the wall, stabbing Mo Ye into the wall to keep himself from sinking. As he tossed his weapon onto the small platform he panted while holding on.

Jaune: Jeez, that thing is heavy... I refuse to make it lighter though.

He felt something soft once he climbed back on. With his vision slightly obscurred he gave whatever he grabbed a squeeze. As soon as Jaune heard a moan he quickly realized what he grabbed.

Jaune: C-Cinder! I didn't mean...

His eyes were drawn to Cinder's peaceful sleeping face, a slight blush on it.

Jaune: Still asleep, huh?

He shook his head in an attempt to remove the devious thoughts from his head.

/ / /

As Cinder woke up she found herself wrapped in a cloak next to a fire. She blushed as she realized the cloak was all she was wearing.

Cinder: Where are my- wait...

She soon heard the sound of someone wringing wet clothes. As she turned to face the noise her blush grew as she saw a shirtless Jaune on the edge of the water.

Jaune: Oh... you're finally awake. I went ahead and dried your clothes first-

Jaune was cut off by a fire ball zooming past him.

Jaune: Oi! What's the big idea!?

Cinder: Y-You undressed me! Pervert!

Jaune: You could've caught a cold! Besides at least you have something to cover up.

Cinder: That doesn't change the fact that you- you saw me... y-you know!

Jaune: Oh please, it's not like it would be the first time.

Cinder: Th-That's different!

Cinder grew flustered as she desparately tried to cover any visible skin with the cloak. She got up and grabbed her clothes that were hanging on a wire.

Cinder: H-Hurry up and turn around, p-pervert.

Jaune: Jeez, fine...

Jaune turned around, still blushing. He heard the sound of ruffling clothes shortly after returning to wringing his shirt. As he wrung his clothes he heard Cinder sit behind him before feel a hand on his back.

Jaune: Cinder?

Cinder: ... What was your past really like?

Jaune: ... I thought I already told you-

Cinder: Please... we're alone. You can be honest.

Jaune looked at his reflection in the water, the scars on his muscles reminding him of how far he's come.

Jaune: ... My father often thwarted any attempts I made to become a hero. He... He wasn't afraid to push things too far.

Cinder: What exactly do you mean?

Jaune: ... My family wasn't caught in a blizzard. I... I ran away.

Cinder: What? Why would you...

Jaune: We were... on vacation, yes. I had... gotten my hands on a knight helmet. I was so happy that I showed my father... he wasn't fond of it though.

He smiled weakly as he remembered the few good memories he had.

Jaune: He... told me I should just give up... that I was too frail and fragile to be a hero. That I just... wouldn't make it. I ran to my room and well I was at my wit's end. I had... learned to tie a noose a few months before and hid it under my bed. I... just stared at it.

Cinder was shocked and wrapped her arms around the boy.

Cinder: I'm... so sorry.

Jaune: It was a long time ago... I've grown to appreciate my life more. All thanks to you and the others... so thank you.

Cinder: ... So you promise to not try that again, right?

Jaune: Don't worry... I'm not leaving any time soon.

Cinder smiled before letting go and let the boy put his shirt back on. 

Jaune: We should get going... Raven probably gave the relic to Yang.

Cinder: Wait what?

Jaune: It's a hunch... but I saw Yang after I fell down after you.

Cinder: I see... where exactly are we?

Jaune: The lowest level of Mistral.

Cinder: I guess we really should get moving.

Jaune: I already checked this place out a bit while you were asleep. If we're gonna get any info then Lil Miss is likely the best place to go.

Cinder: You sure seem to know a lot...

Jaune: ... Nobles have their connections.

While confused Cinder just wanted to leave as soon as possible and simply followed Jaune's lead. The two walked through the crime ridden streets of lower Mistral. Eventually the came across a bar.

Cinder: Jaune... you sure this is the place?

Jaune: I'm certain...

Jaune and Cinder walked through. She pulled the her hood of her cloak as others stared at her. Jaune walked up to the bartender.

Jaune: We're here to see Lil Miss Malachite.

Bartender: Only one person per meeting.

He looked at Cinder before she spoke.

Cinder: I can stay out here...

The bartender opened a door and led Jaune to a meeting room. Meanwhile, Cinder sitting at a table, waiting for Jaune. Her eyes were drawn to an eerily familiar silhouette.

Cinder: ... Neo?

Cinder was able to jump back as Neo jumped from the rafters and broke the table.

Cinder: Woah, Neo calm down! I'm not here to-

She was cut off as Neo thrusted his parasol at the witch.

Cinder: Neo! Stop!

The witch deflected and dodged the young boy's attacks. Their fight broke multiple chairs and tables before Jaune stepped out of the meeting room.

Jaune: Alright what is...

His voice trailed on and his eyes widened as he saw Neo.

Jaune: Neo!?

Neo stopped in his tracks as he heard the familiar voice. Looking back he saw Jaune running at him. Before Neo could react he felt himself fall into Jaune's embrace. Tears welled up in Neo's eyes.

Jaune: Neo! Oh, I'm so glad you're okay!

Neo gritted his teeth before returning the hug and burying his face in Jaune's chest. He had missed the warm, safe, and reassuring embrace of Jaune. As the hug came to an end Neo looked up at the towering blonde.

Jaune: Neo, are you doing we-

Before Jaune could finish he felt Neo's lips on his. The kiss was full of passion. They had secretly longed for one another during their time separated. Their lips parted and they gasped for air.

Jaune: Hah... did you miss me?

Neo nodded, his eyes glued to his lover.

Jaune: No worries... so did I.

Placing a hand on the back of Neo's head Jaune pulled Neo into another kiss. This time Neo was a lot more prepared. Their tongues wrestled for control, becoming increasingly drunk on eachother's taste.

Jaune: Hah... I love you-

Neo pushed off of Jaune before signing.

Neo: 'Why are you with Cinder?'

Jaune: Oh, Cinder? She uh... we've come to a mutual understanding.

Neo: 'What!? But she killed Roman!'

Jaune: Well... sure she's responsible, but I do kind of owe her.

Neo: 'Owe her!? Do I not matter to you?'

Jaune: You do matter, trust me. I just... didn't realize you were still alive.

Neo: '... Yeah that's fair. Still... don't you wanna stay with me?'

Jaune: I want to be by your side, yes... but I'm playing a role bigger than anyone could imagine.

Cinder: Ahem, I feel like I'm being left out here.

Neo looked at Cinder before signing to Jaune.

Jaune: I see... she says she's willing to help us. Mainly to make sure you don't get any ideas.

Cinder blushed as she heard this.

Cinder: Wh-What?! Excuse you but I'm not some horny teenager.

Jaune: Doesn't matter she's still joining.

Cinder: F-Fine... whatever.

Cinder stormed out of the bar, furious and a blushing mess. Neo gave Jaune a smug look.

Jaune: Oh, shut it. You already killed any chances for some sort of threesome.

Neo pouted before following behind Jaune. As the three walked the streets of Mistral Cinder began to grow curious.

Cinder: Did you get any info from that place?

Jaune: Fortunately I did. Ruby has been spotted taking a train to Argus... My guess is they too have learned of the Relics and are heading to Atlas.

Cinder: Right... think you'll be able to pull through?

Neo tapped Jaune's shoulder and signed to him.

Jaune: Huh!? When did you- How did you get a bullhead!?

Cinder: I'm sorry, the gremlin has a bullhead?!

Jaune: Guess we have a ride.

Cinder sighed, disappointed at being one upped by Neo. Neo began to pull his lover by the sleeve and dragged him as Cinder followed. After a few hours of walking they had finally made it to a parked Bullhead on a cliff.

Jaune: You never cease to amaze me, ice cream... Ice Cream? Neo?

Cinder: Huh... where did the gremlin go...

Jaune: N-Neo! What's with that- mmph!

Neo kissed his lover once more before signing.

Neo: 'No questions love... just enjoy the eye candy~'

Jaune: R-Right... Will do...

Jaune's voice trailed on as his eyes were drawn to a suitcase Neo was holding.

Jaune: Did you seriously... no...

Neo: 'That's right... I kept that suit Roman gave you. Why don't you wear it? I made sure to wash it.'

Jaune: ... Alright fine.

Jaune: I still think the accessories are a bit much.

Cinder: You look fine, Jaune. More than fine actually~

Neo glared at Cinder before she put her hands up in surrender.

Cinder: Right right, I won't try anything.

Jaune rolled his eyes before stepping onto the bullhead.

Jaune: Well? Are you guys ready to go?

Cinder: Oh right right.

The three got on and Jaune started up the Bullhead.

Cinder: You sure you know how to fly this thing?

Jaune: Meh, it can't be that hard.

Alright FNDM, how are we all feeling about the RWBY news?

[somthing-lavender]

Rwby though (Rwby spoilers for my none Rwby followers)

So about the poor punching bag that is Oscar and Hazel in volume 8. When Oscar blasted Salem with magic it presumably killed Hazel as well. That means akward 15 y.o Oscar has technically killed a man.

And thinking about it the King of Vale fought in a war and has probably killed people. And we also Oscar views at least some of Ozpin's memories in first person ("I gave Leo the tea set" vs "Ozpin gave Leo the tea set"). If we where to ask Oscar how many people he has killed, what would he answer? How does he feel about the matter?
