A Knight's Vipers
By: RisingGear
Jaune Arc was a ten old-year-old boy living in the town of Arcadia. A small farming town between Vale and Mistral. With a population of eight hundred and like a small city. His mom Joan Is the town's mayor. His dad Max is a retired Huntsman and the principle of the school. His five older sisters are huntresses in training. Jaune himself being the third youngest and only boy. The youngest is his twin little sisters Rosalyn & Viola haven't chosen that path. The twins are a pair of newborn baby girls everyone spoils.
Jaune wants to be a huntsman to but nobody will train him. So he started acting out like any kid would. He thought his dream was unattainable and became a delinquent. A delinquent who beats up school-yard bullies. One day he was sent to his father's office after a fight. Jaune has a busted lip and bruises. Max chews him out for his temper.
"You can't just punch someone for picking on somebody! That temper could land you in serious trouble one day son!" Max angrily exclaims pounding his fist into his desk. "Yeah, so you keep telling me, dad! I also know I'm the only one getting punished! A really fair choice I might add!" Jaune says in a sarcastic tone.
"Don't be a wise-ass Jaune! And during school hours call me Mr. Arc!" Max places a hand on his son's shoulder. He may not approve of his attitude but does love him. "You're a good kid at heart son. I'm proud you try to do the right thing but please try a more nonviolent approach."
Jaune does smile at his father before his face gets stern again. "However you got detention for the next two weeks. Also at home, we are going to talk with your mother! Now get back to class!" Jaune just shrugs before getting back up. All things considered, he got off easy. As he leaves a huge tan man enters the office. "Mr. Basilisk, please come in." Jaune's father says in greeting.
As Jaune enters his classroom the class is crowded around a pair of desks. "Jaune welcome back to class. Would you like to greet our two new students?" His teacher Mrs. Vermilion asks him. She never gives him a hard time. So the two get along rather well. "Oh yeah, new kids?" He asks back excitedly.
"Twin girls in fact." She says. He approaches the desks to get a closer look. A pair of snake Faunus girls with jet-black scales on their cheeks. There hair equally black with one having a purple streak. Their lips are black but no makeup on them. One is a tomboy while the other's not one. A set of emerald green eyes glance up at him. Making the young boy blush before she opens her mouth. "You gonna open your mouth and say something? Or are you just gonna stand there and look cute?"
"I'm not cute and the names Jaune Arc! How about you gorgeous?" He fires back making the green-eyed twin smirk. "Jaune Arc ... nice name. Mine is Morgana Basilisk, charmed! And this is my sister Eve!" The yellow-eyed twin hides behind her sister. She has an eyepatch over her left eye. Something happened to this girl and it wasn't pleasant. "She's kind of shy sorry."
"Nice to meet you both!" He cheerfully says to them, him and Morgana fist bump. Eve nervously tries to shake his hand. When he gently shakes her hand she blushes.
During lunch, Jaune sets in the back of the cafeteria by himself. With his foul temper being infamous all over town making him an outcast. He just reads a comic book while eating a burger. The Basilisk twins approach him with a stack of junk food and candy.
"Want some company buddy?" Morgana asks him with her fangs showing during a smile. "A gentleman never refuses a lady." He replies in a nonchalant yet snide tone. The twins set down next to him. Big mounds of their unhealthy lunch hit the table. How two girls can eat like this and not be little butterballs is anyone's guess. "Thanks!" Morgana says with a mouthful of chips. "So you two are new in town?" Jaune asks.
"Yes our dad and us moved into town three days ago. So anything to do in this town besides watching paint dry? Jaune burst into laughter confusing the twins. "Oh shit, that's rich! Watching paint dry is the town's favorite past-time! But if it's alright with you guys want I'd like to hang out with you two." The two twins seem thrilled by the rather negative remark.
"If people have the luxury of being boring, then this place does a good job at keeping itself safe." Morgana says with Eve nodding meekly. He sees the scars that the two are covered in. Morgana has nasty ones around her wrist like the skin was scraped off. He then remembers that Eve wears an eyepatch. These two have clearly been through a lot. Jaune then tries to change the subject. "So you guys are fitting in well so far. Nobody giving the new girls any trouble?"
"Nope, and if they try I bust some fucking skulls!" Morgana proudly boasts while pounding her fist together. Eve mimics her sister yet thanks to her timid nature comes off as cute.
"Oh, you girls are just a treat! Let's bust some heads together sometime!" Jaune and Morgana give each other a malevolent grin. "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!" Eve says surprising the other two. Then going back to being shy.
After dentition Jaune sees a much larger kid waiting for him by the front door. The behemoth brought some friends. One of whom has a black eye.
"ARC! YOU SON OF A BITCH!" The big kid screams. "You think you can beat up my little brother and get away with it!" Jaune gives them all a Jerk off hand gesture while rolling his eyes. Then starts laughing at them as he flips them off. "Bitch please, Those Shit-heads ganged up on me and still lost!"
They circle around him. Jaune has a cocky smile the whole time. "You cowards think outnumbering me gives you a fair chance? I'm flattered!" The big kid grabs him by the hoodie. The lummox grinds his teeth in rage before kneeling over in pain. All because Jaune kicked him in the balls.
"In light of the fact you hide behind numbers like a bunch of pussies, you deserve that!" The other kids grab Jaune. Overpowering him with numbers as planned.
"Who's the Pussy now?!" The big kids boast as he punches Jaune in the face. Blood drips from Jaune's lips. "Still you, Pussy ass bitches!" Jaune says defiantly while headbutting one of them in the nose. "You're going to start regretting a lot of things, little punk!"
Morgana drop-kicks the big kid in the face before jumping off with a gymnastic flip. A smug grin on her face as she perfectly sticks the landing.
"Arc-Angel baby you start this little party without us?" She says blowing him a kiss. "Think you can save me a dance?" He snarks back while headbutting the kid behind him. Eve comes out of nowhere. Punching one in the back of the head.
"A piece of shit like you has some friends?!" The big says spitting out teeth. Jaune and Morgana laugh in his face. Eve has an uncharacteristically sadistic smile as she punches another kid off Jaune. The big kid tried to tackle Jaune.
"Oh, how unfortunate..." Jaune says as he and Morgana punch him in the face at the same time. "... For you!" Morgana finishing the statement. Her eyes changing color like a rainbow.
~Eight years later~
An eighteen-year-old Jaune is in Beacon Academy as the leader of his own team, Team JNPR. Without any real training, the wannabe punk from Arcadia looks like a clown. At least his teammates are fun.
Nora, the team's heavy hitter is a lot like his little sisters put together. Hyper but a nice girl at heart. Jaune wishes he can shut her up sometimes. Li Ren, Nora's childhood friend or boyfriend. He doesn't really talk much but he's a nice guy. Last but not least Pyrrha Nikos, The Pumpkin Pete's girl. Honestly, despite being world famous Jaune had no idea who she even was at first. But she is a fantastic friend to have. And if Jaune didn't know any better she may like him.
His scroll goes off during his homework. The caller ID says it's Morgana Farancia. After Jaune left home Morgana came with him. For reasons unknown to him she had her last name changed. She got into the advanced classes with the third and fourth years.
"Hey Archangel, you what to go to this club with me?" She asks him flirtatiously. Jaune rolls his eyes. "Like I would ever say no to you Rainbow Snake!" He fires back in an equally flirtatious tone. "Good boy, I'll pick you up in an hour." She hangs up after blowing him a kiss.
"Who was that Jaune?" His partner Pyrrha asking while getting out of the shower. "Morgana wants to go clubbing. So don't wait up." Pyrrha crosses her arms with a scowl. "Jaune, we have class in the morning. Furthermore, who is this Morgana?"
Jaune as he changes into his another hoodie. One with white fur around the hood. He then looks at with a raised eyebrow. "My Friend from home. We got a complicated history together. Hell, I'm probably all she has left in the way of loved ones. The fun way this time too! Don't wait up All-Star" He says with a wink as he leaves.
"Wait, can I meet her?" Pyrrha asks in a stern tone yet her body language show concern. Jaune puts on some sunglasses. "Then come on she's outside!"
The two wait outside for Morgana. "So what kind of girl is this Morgana anyway?" A worried Pyrrha asks twirling her hair. Jaune hears a motorcycle in the distance and smirks. "One of a kind!"
A chopper driven by an all grown up Morgana parks next to them. And boy did she grow up!She has a got a good few inches taller than Jaune is. She died her black hair to a light shade of purple. She is covered in tattoos and piercings. Notably, the large black snake coiled around her thick left thigh being the most eye-catching. She is wearing a corset/Biker jacket combo. Her pants are the most unusual part of her attire. Black skinny jeans with the left leg cut off, showing off the aforementioned tattoo. "Good god she makes Yang and me look flat chested by comparison!" Pyrrha screams in her head as she makes a mental note of Morgana's physique. Green eyes look at each other before Morgana Ursa-hugs Jaune. The tough looking snake Faunus has a goofy smile and blushing.
"Arc-Angel you motherfucker you got yourself a girl!" Morgana says positively thrilled. A goofy smile forms on Morgana's face. Yet it looks almost predatory from Pyrrha's perspective. Jaune has to break out of the hug because she is accidentally crushing him.
"So you are Pyrrha Nikos I've heard so much about! I hope you take good care of Jaune. He can be a handful." Morgana says to Jaune's annoyance. The two huntresses in training shake hands. "Well, it certainly is a pleasure, Morgana!" The two may act friendly to each other but even Jaune can notice the tension between them. He has no idea why though.
"I hope we can be friends Pyrrha." Morgana says to Pyrrha as she gets back on her bike. She throws a helmet at Jaune. He hopes on right behind her. "Yeah, this is not going to get awkward."
"Hold on tight Arc-Angel!~" Morgana says in a sing-song voice.
"Try to be back for class tomorrow." Pyrrha tells him. Jaune just shrugs it off. "Pyrrha I'll be fine. We won't get too crazy!"
~The next day~
Jaune wakes up in a hotel room bed with a massive hangover. The room is trashed with bottles of booze everywhere. "How did I not die of alcohol poisoning!?" He feels an arm wrap around him and someone kissing the back of his neck. He jumps out of the bed when he sees Morgana spooning him. She wakes up and has the same reaction as him.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" both scream at the same time. Then writhe in agony from the mutual hangover. A chicken runs across the room. "W-What did we do last night!?" Morgana whispers in disbelief. Both of them actually panicking.
"Oh my god, I slept with my best friend!" Both screaming again.
