Okay here we go next chapter. I would like to apologize again for this taking so long, but like I said, this is a fic where you have to be angsty and pissed to write. And since I have so much fun writing Out of Place, its hard to get into that mindset. But I got this one written, so lets check it out.

Anyways, its been months since I updated, so once again I'm sorry. I've forgotten a lot of the plot, so hope this works out alright.

YANG

"SHIT!" Yang was thrown onto her back.

"You're punches are still weak." Raven said as she had not moved from her spot.

"You need to stop seeing this as a game, I would have thought losing your arm would have taught you that lesson." She said as Yang glared.

"You think this is a game?! I haven't even begun to play!" She said as she prepared her new arm for battle.

In reality, Yang found the arm hard to adjust to. While she still knew the basic movements and attacks. The weight of the arm was an adjustment. She wasn't dealing with flesh and bone anymore. Instead she had steel and circuitry, in other words. She was in trouble. She may have gotten the use of her arm back, but now she was going through a training/rehab program from hell.

And her mother was her teacher. In all honesty, it pissed her off. While she knew her mother was a skilled hunttress. She had lost interest in meeting her mother. Must have been the arm, but she just didn't really care about finding her mother anymore. And then she showed up just as she gave up on her. And it pissed her off. But she admitted, she needed her help. And as much as she didn't want to say it, her mother was best for the job.

"If that's the truth, then you better show some improvement, I'm getting bored, I might find a new student." Raven said as Yang let out a barrage of punches.

"And this is your problem Yang..." Raven said as she sweeped Yangs legs.

"You spend so much time focusing on your upper body, that you leave yourself open for a lower body attack, I'm shocked that the man who took your arm didn't just cut you in half when he had the chance." Raven said as she was riling up her daughter even more.

"AAAAGGGGHHHH!" Yang yelled as she let out a blast into Raven's face.

Only for her to once again Dodge and land a punch to Yang's throat, followed up by slashing her across the belly with her sword, not shallow enough to not bleed, but deep enough to cause some damage.

"And you lose again." She said as she put her sword back.

Yang just glared at the woman who had birthed her. Seriously, she always thought when she was growing up, that her mom was some super amazing Huntress, turns out she was really just a cold hearted bitch. Hell, she hadn't even told Yang why she abandoned her in the first place. But something tells her it wasn't a good reason. Hell sometimes Yang wondered which side her mother was on.

For all she knows, she could have been working for the white fang, or the woman who killed Pyrrha.

She flinched at that memory. She heard rumors about Jaune lately. Apparently Ruby had been trying to track him down because he went on a one man mission against the white fang. But Yang shook her head of the thoughts. Jaune couldn't be like that? Could he? I mean, this was vomit boy they were talking about? The guy who wore bunny pyjamas during initiation.

But then she remembered, she had changed since the attack on beacon, so it wasn't unheard of of someone changing in personality. But Jaune was always so bright and fun, it was horrifying to think he had snapped.

"If you spent as much time training as you did thinking, you wouldn't have been caught off so guard easily." Raven was disappointed in her daughter.

This child in front of her was her offspring? How was that even possible?

"How could you have come from me?" Raven asked as Yang was ready to sap.

"I don't know, hard to tell when you haven't been here for years." Yang wanted to break this woman's face.

"Perhaps if you had been worthy of my affection, we wouldn't be having this conversation." Raven said as she saw a bird fly by.

"I have to go, continue practicing, maybe you'll learn something." Raven said as she turned into a bird and flew away.

"..." Yang sat in silence.

THIS was the woman she wanted to find? Something tells her she would have preferred to stay in the dark.

"Rough day?" Taiyang saw the look on his daughter's face.

"You have no idea." She suddenly wished she was being trained by him.

JAUNE

"Damn, even with Aura, these wounds hurt like a son of a bitch." Jaune had recently arrived into the nearest town.

He paid off some street orphans to give him information on the town. Based on what he could find, there seemed to be very little fang activity. But there was a problem with crime in this town. The orphans even told him it was a miracle he wasn't stabbed when he first arrived.

"What a nice place, come here to help, and stay because you got murdered." Jaune spat out as it really did piss him off.

People would come to this town with aid, trying to make a difference, but the problem with people who were too nice, this world would eat them up and spit them back out. It was just how things went, in a way, it was better to be feared than loved. Love may bring you gratitude from your people, but fear would bring you obedience. If only you could have them, but seemed like no matter what, it had to be one or the other.

It made him sick to his stomach.

"But the question is...where to go?" He asked as right now, he just needed supplies.

Preferrably some new bandages, maybe some medication, and then he would be off.

"STAY OUT!" He heard a voice say as he saw a grown man beating on a little faunus girl.

"P-Please sir! I Ne-" She was cut off by a kick to the stomach.

"Teach you to steal from me!" He said as he pulled out a knife.

BANG!

Only for it to be shot out of his hand.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you!" The man turned to see a blond hair man.

And his eyes filled with Terror as he saw the skull emblem on his chest.

"Y-You're him!" He said as he backed away.

"I don't know what you mean, but you better leave that girl alone." Jaune said as he took a step forward.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" The man yelled as he ran back inside his bar, leaving the girl alone.

"Well, good to see he could listen." Jaune said as he looked down at the girl.

"You alright kid?" He asked as she looked at him with wide eyes.

"Y-You're him..." She said as Jaune was confused again.

Why did people say that? Why did they refer to him as 'Him?' Did he do something wrong? Why did these people seem scared of him? Granted, he had done horrible things, but never to regular civilians, so how did they know about him.

"That skull..." She pointed to his chest as he looked down.

"What about it?" He asked as he had no idea why the skull was so important.

"You're him..." She couldn't believe it.

"Who is him?" What was this girl's problem?

"You're the punisher!" She finally got he words out.

"The Punisher?" He had never heard of such a thing.

"Thats what they call you, the man who exterminates the white fang.." Okay that was a pretty accurate statement.

"Look kid, I don't know about this whole punisher thing, I'm just here to pick up supplies." He said as the girl beamed.

"I can help you with that!" She said as she grabbed his hand.

"Wait...where are you taking me?" He asked not sure to trust this kid or not.

"I can take you to my father! He can help." She said as he was still unsure about this.

But he figured what the hell, what could her dad do? If his daughter was forced to steal, they must not be living well, so maybe he was safe from the clutches of death.

AN HOUR LATER

"Holy shit..." Jaune said as he noticed he was now in a cove full of weapons, food, and various other supplies.

"What is this place?" He asked as they had gone through a sewer to get here.

"Home sweet home! What, we got to make a living somehow." She said as Jaune narrowed his eyes.

"So you really are just a common thief." He said as he heard a voice from the shadows.

"On the contrary, we are excellant thieves." A male voice said from the shadows.

Only to reveal a white tiger faunus with scars all over his arms, and a pair of ears on top of his head, his hair and beard being a pure white, if it wasn't for the faunus ears, one could almost mistake him for a Schnee. But there was no way he would ever affiliate with those people.

"Good to see I didn't save an innocent girl." Jaune said as the man spoke up.

"Everyone has to survive, you may think that it was wrong, but sometimes you have to turn to crime to survive, as I'm sure you know...Punisher." He said as Jaune got irritated.

"See I don't know what that means, what the hell is everyone talking about?" He asked as this was the first he had ever heard of it.

"You seriously don't know?" The man said as he pulled up a news report.

"Reports of a man in a skull shirt and a trench coat have surfaced, he has been eliminating white fang cells all over Remnant, this has earned him the nickname of, The Punisher." Lisa Lavendar reported as there was an artist rendition of Jaune, but his face was hidden.

"Well how about that?" Jaune asked as he wasn't expecting this.

"I've seen your work, I have to say...its disappointing." He said as Jaune raised a brow.

"Oh, and would you like to do my job for me?" He asked as the man shook his head.

"No, but I have a better alternative, my daughter told me you helped her, is this true?" He asked as Jaune nodded.

"Yes, why, whats it to you?" He asked as the man sighed.

"I was a member of the white fang before, I know how they work, I know who they are, and your work has been sloppy, you've been killing small time members, those a civillian could kill, at this point, you're no mercenary, you're just a rabid dog on the loose." He said as Jaune crossed his arms.

"And your point?" He asked as the man looked at him.

"I can train you, to fight like them, put that ambition to use, and most of all, I can teach you to survive, after all, those wounds on your side show that you're not getting out without a few scratches." He said as Jaune didn't know how he noticed that.

"Faunus sense of smell, the blood is prominent." He said as Jaune glared.

"And what do I get out of it?" He asked as the tiger faunus smirked.

"Well you see, the white fang is bad for business, and I may be a criminal, but I'm a small time criminal, only taking what I need to survive. If you take them out, it will benefit me, and to top it all off, you get trained on how to kill properly, tell me, wouldn't that be useful?" He asked as Jaune thought it over.

On one hand, he didn't know if he could trust this guy or his daughter. But on the other, his deal sounded promising, one thing was for sure, he was locking his tank and his weapons up. Just in case this man thought to steal from him.

"Fine..I accept...but if you try and screw me out of anything..." Jaune said with a glare.

"I will kill you..." He was not a man to cross.

"Heh, I like your spirit, but I would like to see you try." The faunus glared back.
