Well, here we go. Another part of Conqueror! Jaune and his team meet! Jaune learns the ins and outs of Beacon and he learns to stand up for others and Jaune learns that even in the human world not everyone wants to be his friend as he meets his new rival...
Dying was not something that was suitable for Jaune. Dying was the end of life, the end of a life that he did not want to end. Dying was not something that someone of his pedigree was ever supposed to deal with, in short dying was a failure and Jaune did not fail.
"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Jaune let out a scream of shock as he was catapulted out into the air! Jaune screamed as the vast forest of trees the heir to Salem's throne screamed out in a most improper fashion, unbecoming of someone of his statue staring down his imminent demise and he faced it down like a true heir to the planet and its rightful ruler by screaming like a little girl about to be spanked for eating too much ice cream by her mother after bedtime.
"Someone help me! I command it! PANCAKE WENCH-"
FISHT! Jaune let out another shriek as something slammed into his side! Jaune yelped as a massive spear hit his collar pinning him to a tree as he blinked twice his heart briefly stopped fluttering in his chest as-
"Who dares assault the future ruler of this land!?"
"I'm sorry!"
"You have not even begun to be sorry you wench! When I get down from here your punishment will commence post-haste!" Jaune shouted before he let out a cough he was very high up. He was far too high to fall safely and someone of his upbringing lacked the necessary mutations to survive any time of controlled fall.
"If only I had the legs of Yang. Or the speed of Ruby, hell even Blake's non-corporate movement could work for me here." Jaune hissed as he began to squirm, he paused as he felt and heard the large tree he was speared to shake and shudder, branches snapped under him as he ceased his exertions.
"I better be still for the moment. I do not wish to agitate the tree that is keeping me afloat. The spear is of higher quality than most. I can appreciate a commoner that has enough wherewithal to afford and maintain this already precarious balance." Jaune sighed he was alive and for now? Now that was all that mattered.
"I can focus on getting out of this damn initiation after I find a way to safely get out of this damnable tree!" Jaune shouted, moving his arms violently before the tree began to crack. Jaune froze as he heard the tree branches crack and shake around him as he froze.
"Ok. Ok, Jaune take it easy you just-
"Jaune! Did you get taken by a nevermore again?"
"No Ruby! No, I did not! I do not need your- help?" Jaune paused and looked down as silver eyes flashed the image of Ruby left him, the now-dead hybrid vanished from his sight as he shook his head.
"A mirage. Nothing more. I can focus on that after I am free. For now, I shall wait for my rescuer to come and gently-"
"I'm sorry!" A voice shouted as Jaune's spear was yanked out of the tree! Another loud girlish scream was ripped from his mouth before he fell hard his aura flashed once as it was cut into by stray branches as Jaune screamed in fear before he was caught in a pair of massive arms Jaune saw emerald eyes flash before him as-
"Jaune!"
"YOU! The locker wench! Unhand me this instant!" Jaune shouted as Pyrrha groaned her thighs rubbed together as she let out a deep moan of pleassure.
Oh dear god yes. That's it! That's the way! Say my name! Call me that same thing over and over again! Pyrrha thought to shiver in pleasure as she felt her inner masochist streak triggered!
WHAPAW! Pyrrha shivered as she felt the lash land on her spine shook in pleasure as-
"Wench!? What do you think you are doing?!" Jaune shouted the girl had not even noticed that she had dropped him on the ground! Jaune had landed on the dirt! The dirt! His royal or soon to be royal ass was now sullied in the dirt of a common forest and that was not acceptable!
"Woman! What do you think you are doing?! If you do not pick me up this instant! There will be dire consequences!" Jaune shouted as Pyrrha shuddered the wench had a near orgasmic look on her face as her legs shook and knocked, her knees shook together as she let out a low whimper biting her lower lip as Jaune glared.
"Woman!"
Dear God, I am in love!
"Of course master! Let me help you right away!" Pyrrha shouted as she scooped Jaune up! Jaune gasped as the powerful woman pulled him up into her arms! Jaune gulped as his face was suddenly inches away from a woman that while beneath him was still beautiful in every sense of the way. Jaune blushed before he cleared his mouth.
"Please. Put me down."
"Right away"!
"Not on the floor! But my legs down first then let me stand alone ok?" Jaune asked as she did. Jaune was put down as he coughed he cleared his Beacon uniform before he inhaled deeply.
"Thank you for that. I appreciate you calling me master. And I am happy that you are already aware of my position. As my partner, you are expected to act like it. And I hope that we can be friends?" Jaune asked if he had never really had friends before. The closest thing he had to friends was...
Ruby... but I never thought of her as a friend. More like the less rough out of the abominations. And the least likely to accidentally put me into a caste if they decided to get pissy with me. Jaune gulped as Pyrrha smiled he saw her bosh shivering like she was in pleasure and he dearly hoped that she was not.
The last thing he needed was some reckless daredevil of a partner that would do her best to keep him in the thick of things just like Yang would often say.
"I! I think that we can go this way! Maybe we can find some friends along the way?" Pyrrha asked as she began to walk off Jaune narrowed his eyes at her before he let out a sharp cough.
"Excuse me? Do you walk before me?"
"NO! NO sir!" Pyrrha said as she backed off her body shaking as she felt her inner switch flipped. Pyrrha whimpered as Jaune gave her a seething withering look, the same type of trash that had been left out in the hot Vacuo sun all summer and was beginning to stink.
Yes! That's it! Look at me like utter dirt! Look at me like I am trash! Filth! And make me feel like I am worthless! Pyrrha thought as Jaune got the same odd shiver from her.
She is certainly something new. I will keep my eye on you.
"Good. Now let us move. I hope that we will reach our new destination before long. And do not stray or I will leave you. Do you understand?"
Oh God take me now.
"Yes! I understand my master!" Pyrrha said skipping in line falling behind Jaune as they began to walk.
"Ozpin. The first pairing is complete."
"Yes... Jaune... Arc? And Pyrrha Nikos is it?" Ozpin asked, his eyes narrowed on the boy. He felt like he should know something about him but he just could not put his finger on it.
How do I know that boy? He looks so familiar. It's like I have seen that face before.
"Ozpin? Do you have a moment? I am curious about that Jaune boy. He is not showing up on our long term records." Glynda said as she looked down at her scroll.
"And? Do go on Glynda. I am listening." Ozpin said as he sipped his coffee he knew that Jaune was either hiding something or he was something or someone that he should know about.
"I am not finding any records of him beyond a certain point of time... sure his academy record is flawless but he has no family records that I can find? It's like he just started to exist in Signal and then?"
"And then?"
"And then he was just there... He began his life in Signal and nothing else."
"That is curious. Are you sure there is nothing else to him? No backstory history with organizations?"
"No... but he is certainly making good time. The way he can order someone like Miss Nikos around? It reminds me of when Summer met Tai for the first time."
"Ah yes... A pity about their daughter. Died before her time to the monsters we all face."
"Yes. I hope she enjoys her teaching job. I did my best to make sure she had something to... take her mind off things." Glynda said as Ozping nodded.
"I do hope so. She is taking it as well as Raven has and that is... well."
"Not at all, correct?"
"Yes."
"SO! That is what I wanted to say! But- hey! Are you listening to me or not?!" Nora shouted as she looked down at the Grimm that that just decided that life was not worth it and died under her feet.
"AHH! Mister Fluffles stopped working! Ren! Can you fix him?" Nor asked as she hopped down she swung her hammer high as she somersaulted off!
"Ren! Where are you man? I thought you were right behind me?"
"Pancake wench!" Nora went still as a board as she gave a hard salute before practically teleporting jumping to Jaune's side.
"Boss!"
"Call me sir and just where the hell have you been!? I have been walking through this damned forest for half an hour without my first servant following me around for protection! You have some nerve letting that happen on your first day of the rest of your life!" Jaune shouted as Nora gave him a hard salute! Slamming her feet together the minuscule woman that seemed to radiate an energy on par with Yang's gave him a hard glare.
"I"m sorry sir! I got carried away on Mister Fluffels!"
"Mister... who?" Jaune asked as he looked past Nora the Grimm disintegrate as Ren came by choking and coughing and panting out of breath.
"Nora! I! I thought! I thought I told you to never do that again!"
"Sorry, Ren! I had to get to Sir in time!"
"Sir? Oh... you."
"Yes me Ren. You know that I am Nora's current, future and only employer-"
"And he pays me in pancakes!"
"And syrup. Don't forget the syrup. My men and women can't forget their paychecks, that will be unbecoming of those who serve under me. Speaking of being under me. You! Where are you!?" Jaune yelled as there was a low moan of pure ecstasy from behind him.
"H-here I am sir! I-I hope I didn't make you wait! If I did then I supposed that you would just have to punish me if I did huh?" Pyrrha asked as she walked forward her arms crossed and her knees shaking each other. She locked her lips practically rubbing her hands down her long thick legs as Jaune narrowed his look at her.
"I did not ask you for how you should be punished, wench! I asked you where the hell you were!? How dare you leave me unattended as well! How hard is it to find good service out here!?" Jaune shouted his temper rising really! This was totally unacceptable! He had been in charge of this small group for less than a minute and already his two best men or women as is the case had let him down!
I need to be more stringent in their monitoring. Or I have to increase the number of rewards that I can give to them to set them straight. Maybe a mixture of both? Wat's did tell me is that a mix of both carrots and sticks tends to work best with people you need to work with or under you.
"I remember you... you are from before," Ren said his eyes squinted before Nora jumped!
"Sir Jaune! Please allow your lowly squire to assist you as we go through the forest!" Nora said in her most professional tone learning a rare smile from Jaune.
"Now that is how you talk to your commanding officer! I like the attitude, Nora! Double syrup rations for the week!"
"YES! I am unstoppable!"
"What!? BUt! But! I can do that too! My sir! I will valiantly guard you as long as we are together! This pathetic worthless piece of filth will do her best to keep you as safe as possible!" Pyrrha shouted her cheeks burning with jealousy at her spot of being Jaune's doormat was suddenly taken away from her!
He is going to use me as a living doormat! Get lost! Pyrrha thought as Jaune stepped forward he had not even bothered to take out his blade; he was not above fighting he was just going to let his others do it for him. He was the planner, the one that did the strategy and tactics he would leave the actual fighting to those more suited for it.
I can leave it to Yang or Blake to get their claws dirty- Jaune shook his head, he had to learn to stop relying on the dead, they were gone and there was nothing that he could do about that. He would have to start learning to rely on his fellow humans and faunus that he could and would recruit to his side.
"I just have to learn to rely on what I have at my disposal. Now! We have relics to acquire! Pancake Wench?"
"At your service!"
"Her name is Nora."
"I know what her name is Ren. But I will call her as such when she is under my employ. She is, of course, free to leave at any point in time. But that means no more syrup-"
"Call me Pancake Wench! Call me Waffle woman! Just give me the syrup! I need it!" Nora shouted as Jaune sighed.
"As you should. Now follow me. You?"
"Yes!" Pyrrha said, her eyes shining as Jaune shook his head.
"Guard me as we go forward. I do not want a Grimm to come and abscond with me while I am under your protection do you understand?"
"Yes, Jaune! Nothing will happen to you while I am here!"
"Good it better not or your ass in on the line you hear me?"
Oh dear god yes! Put my ass on the line! Do terrible unspeakable things to it while you do!
"Sir yes sir! Nothing will happen to your ass while I am here!"
Pyrrha was a dirty liar.
"I'm sorry!"
"Don't say sorry CATCH ME!" Jaune shouted as Pyrrha caught him in mid-air! The woman picked him up as she leaped just as the Nevermore crashed into the ground! Nora's hammer broke its skull in the second it made impact!
"How did you let it sneak up on you!?"
"I"m sorry sir! I thought that you saw it!"
I totally saw it coming! Now do it! Yell at me! Call me worthless! Berate me like he filth that I really am!
"I! I! KILL THE OTHER ONE!" Jaune shouted as Pyrrha narrowly backed off as a stinger hit between them! The Deathstalker roared just as Ren cut the tip off its tail. It howled in pain the singer flew up in the air as Jaune narrowed his eyes.
"Pyr! The stinger!"
"Yes sir!" Pyrrha gently but quickly put Jaune down before she dashed in, blinding the things eyes with a barrage of gunfire before it howled! It backed off as Pyrrha heard Jaune shout.
"Kill it with its own body!"
"I see! Nora!"
"On it!" Pyrrha slammed the stinger up almost hurling it only for Nora to catch it mid-air! Repositioning the stinger in a stunning display of athletics that made Jaune think of Blake or Ruby when they were in their prime before she hurled it down at the things back! There was a single mighty crack!
As its carapace was shattered! The thing screamed before Nor slammed down killing it as she hammered its own stinger right through its spine!
"We did it!" Ren gasped as Jaune nodded.
"Exceptional work. All around, everyone pulled their weight and we all did our part. There will be bonuses for all of you once I have established myself in Vale more thoroughly."
"Not that you really helped."
"I have the orders Ren I kept it all under control."
"Sure you did."
"My liege! H-here you go." Pyrrha said as she humbly held Jaune a golden chess piece a king piece stared him down in the face as he nodded.
"Thank you, Pyr. You have done well today. You might be better than I originally thought." Jaune said smiling down to the beautiful redhead a-s
"What!? What did I do wrong!?" Pyrrha asked his sudden praise forced her to frown as she began to cry?!
"What!? Why are you crying! I complimented you!"
"I know! Take it back!"
"What!? You want me to take my compliment back?!"
"Yes! Insult me please!"
"I! No! I will not insult you for doing a job well!"
"Why not!?"
"Because that makes no sense woman! Now stop being foolish and help me get back to the school! I have a ceremony to attend and look sharp! You represent me when you speak and I will have no mess-ups you hear!?"
"Sir!"
"Lead by! Jaune Arc!" Ozpin shouted as Jaune nodded.
"It was only natural," Jaune said as he cleaned his hand. He knew he was going to be the leader from the moment there was an announcement that there would be one. After all, he was the only natural choice for it.
"Congratulations."
"Woohoo! Boss is the leader!"
"I am proud of you sir!"
"Yes yes. Dispense with the pleasantries at another time. For now? For now, let us get back to our dorm. I wish to inspect it for weaknesses before we make our beds. I will not have us be ambushed in our sleep! No tentacles will claim our bodies this day!" Jaune shouted as the rest of Jnpr suddenly fell silent as Nora coughed.
"What?"
Jaune would admit. He was taking to Beacon better than he thought he would. The classes were normal, the lessons normal, he had maintained and raised a straight-A average in all courses and his team of course. It would not do for even a single member of his team to get below an A. Luckily it seemed that the only one to give him a slight hint of error was Ren who got in the low ninety range and shockingly the second to his own grades was none other than Nora herself. Something that surprised Jaune.
No. Everything in Beacon was normal and there was little Jaune should want to change.
"Not that I should be surprised, to underestimate anyone is a fatal mistake. Something that my siblings learned the hard one." Jaune muttered to himself eating a succulent piece of pork as-
"OW! Please stop that! It hurts!" Jaune winced he had been ignoring this for several days but upon this day Jaune's patience had worn thin.
"Please stop! You are hurting me!"
"Really? Those dicks again?" Nora hissed her profanity ignored this time as Jaune thought that if there was anyone deserving of the word dick it was the group of bullies that were before him.
Jaune narrowed his eyes he had at one time considered working closely with the only fellow team leader of his year, he knew extending bridges was the first step to gaining allies and getting respect. Jaune had soon come to know that most people were not deserving of it.
"Winchester." Jaune sighed he had tried to get Cardin to straighten up the fellow leader was an absolute mass of a man. A damn mountain of hulking flesh but... that was where his compliments drained out, besides being just strong? Cardin had little going or him, sure he was good with his mace but he did not know the first thing of planning, class, talking with others who had an IQ over room temperature and overall?
"He's just a dick," Jaune said as Nora nodded emphatically.
"Yeah! You see! Even Jaune knows that! If Jaune says that then-"
"Then it means that I have to do something about it," Jaune said as he sighed he had let this go on for long enough and now it was time for him to put a stop to it.
"I have had enough of this. I will sort this out myself.' Jaune said as he stood up Pyrrha winced as she coughed once, his partner had taken well to her station as his guard and had so far kept most of the undesirables at spears distance from him.
"Sir... if I may please allow me to deal with him."
"Or me! Let me break his legs boss! Come on! Let me! Let me!" Nora said her teal eyes alight with sadistic glee, Jaune smiled at her oh how she reminded him of Yang when she saw a fresh bone with unmolested marrow fit to be taken out and sucked dry, but Nora had the benefit of not being a battle crazed monster that was somehow capable of rational thought. Nora was far superior to Yang in every aspect if you asked Jaune as he was glad she was on his side.
"Not now Nora. I will call for you if I need it. And I will call for you if I can." Jaune said as Nora and Pyrrha nodded.
"If you say so."
"I'll cheer you on from the side Jaune!"
"Thank you, pancake wench. But I will not be long. I will have this sorted out before you can tell Ren what you write in your notebook in bed."
"You have a notebook?"
"What!? No, I don't! Jaune is just being silly!" Nora said blushing wildly as Jaune stalked over to the hostile team his eyes narrowing as he approached.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
"You see! I told you they were real!"
"What a freak! Can you believe she really has animal parts?!" Jaune narrowed his eyes. He had no patience for racism, not in the least, he was here to rule this planet and as its chosen savior who had delivered it from the clutches of his mother, Jaune would not have his people killed over this insane thought of superiority!
Seriously! Yang had more tact than this! Weiss was worse but that was because she was Weiss. And Evil. And crazy. And liked to sing in the blood of her enemies.
"Now you are going to listen here to us freak. You are going to get out of this school and-
"She is not going anywhere," Jaune said as Cardin paused his eyes narrowed to the smaller boy as the taller man glared down at him.
"Arc. What the hell do you want? You want to join us? You can take a bit of her ear if you do." Cardin said, smiling sadistically at Jaune as he glared at him. Jaune narrowed his eyes before he coughed Jaune looked down at the bullied girl Jaune had to admit that as much as he did not like bullying Jaune did see why she was targeted, her name was Velvet Scarlatina and Jaune had little love for the woman.
Not only was she a second year and clearly superior to Cardin she was allowing herself to be bullied by someone that was weaker than her.
You can not let people walk over you. That is how you let this thing get out of hand in the first place. Jaune hated people that either would not or could not defend themselves and did nothing to better their setting.
"Cardin. I do not think that I can persuade you to leave her alone? Surely there are better things that a man of your standing would do during his lunch, correct?"
"Oh, sure there are better things than messing with her but come on man! You see this?" Cardin asked yanking up on one of Velvet's rabbit ears making the girl scream in pain again as she yelped.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
"You see I just like hearing it yelp in pain. It really helps me relax so as a fellow human and team leader why don't you just go back to your little tear harem and lea be and my boys the hell alone ok little white knight?" Cardin hissed Jaune narrowed his eyes and sighed he really did not want to resort to violence but it was the only thing that mattered to people like this.
"Then if you will not remove your hands from her I must force you to remove them."
"Who? You? You have not even fought once in Glynda's class! You think you can beat me?" Cardin asked laughing before Jaune shook his head.
"No. No, I do not think I can beat you in a fight."
"Then just what the hell do you think you are going to do then?" Cardin hissed as-
"Nora." Jaune snapped his fingers before Cardin could blink there was a dull thump crack! As she launched her war to him!
"YAHOO!"
WHAP! Nora's mallet slammed into Cardin's face as she landed a home run swing on the enemy leader! Nora landed right next to Jaune less than five seconds after he snapped his fingers belting Cardin back as-
"Boss!"
"You bitch!"
"Pyr." Russell never got a hit in as Pyrrha's spear hit him in his face. Her semblance was more unique than Jaune thought as before he could even sigh as she had crossed the distance to him, her spear flashing in mid-air as she broke down the few members of Cardinal that had still managed to be standing.
The fight was less than thirty descends Cardinal Was wiped out by surprise as-
"We got 'em!" Nora said, slamming Magnihild down on Thrusha's body, the boy let out a muffled oof of pain as Jaune nodded.
"Excellent work Pancake Wench. You will receive double your syrup rations for this."
"Hell yeah!"
"And me!? Did I do good?" Pyrrha asked eyes shining as-
"No. You were terrible. How dare you take that long. You are horrid!" Jaune said as-
"YES! Thank you!" Pyrrha said her inner masochist now well-known shot out as she whimpered and hugged her chest as Jaune sighed. He reached out a hand to Velvet, the admittedly attractive second year blushed her long floppy rabbit ears flicked a bit as Jaune held out his hand.
"You want to get up now? Or do you want to wait for them to get up and bully you again?"
"I! I'll get up now! I'm sorry!" Velvet said, taking his hand the woman sprang up like a literal rabbit. She was a few inches taller than Jaune as he gave the taller girl a sigh.
"Why do you let them bully you? Why don't you fight back?"
"I... If I do that then I'll just make everything worse. I'm a faunus-"
"And if you fight back against a human that makes all faunus look bad?"
"Yes... I'm glad you understand that-"
"I understand that you are a coward." Jaune blurted out as Velvet went ramrod straight. Her ears shot up as Nora frowned.
"Boss... that is a bit harsh ok?"
"No. No, it is not. Velvet let me be blunt. I knew a faunus like you once. She thought that just because she was different people would think she was a monster and a freak. She thought that if she did nothing then people would think that faunus were equals even when she should have done something."
"I... I don't know about her-"
"Well, you won't. Because she would not open her eyes to the threats around her. Do you know what happened to her Velvet?"
"N... no?"
"Well, she died. She was killed. And if you can't defend yourself from something as weak as them. Then you will never be worthy of Beacon. If you don't start doing better you might as well drop out of here right now because until you can learn to stand up for yourself? You are just wasting everyone's time."
"Jaune! That is mean-"
"It is true Nora. Now come on. Both of you. We are leaving." Jaune said leaving the trembling rabbit faunus alone as JNPR left her alone and to her own devices.
"Jaune I think you were a bit harsh to Velvet," Pyrrha said as Jaune sighed there was just a knock on the JNPR dorm and Jaune was going to see who the hell was knocking at ten pm.
"I did what I had to do, Pyrrha. I had to say that or she would never learn." Jaune hissed as he walked to the door flinging it open as-
"We need to talk!" Jaune did not get a chance to speak before he was yanked out of the room! Jaune knew the woman Coco Adel, the upperclassman and partner of Velvet; she yanked him out and slammed the door with a thud!
"Boss!?"
"I will handle this alone, Pancake Wench! Fear not!" Jaune shouted as-
"Yeah handle me alone? You got some balls kid. I have half a mind to punt you out of the fucking window making my partner cry like that! I got half a mind to kiss you for kicking that racist shit's ass! So here is what's gonna happen. You are gonna march your ass off to Vel. apologize in person and then we are going to be copasetic for the rest of our lives with each other and forget this shit ever happened K?" Coco asked her designed shades fell as her hard brown eyes glared holes into Jaune as-
"I have one question."
"Speak."
"Who the hell dressed you?" Jaune asked as Coco paused before she smirked.
"Oh, I see you have good taste."
"Better than you."
"Say what now?"
"I mean look at your clothes!"
"What about my clothes?" Coco asked a small vein appeared on her forehead as Jaune gagged! The boy almost vomited as he coughed.
"Who bought them?! They are hideous!"
And as you can see Jaune is not good at meeting new people. And now that this is happening Jaune and Coco will have one interesting relationship. If he survives the next five minutes of his life which is not likely! Sorry for the lack of updates on other stories! The virus is making life a bit hard so here is a small taste of an easier story! More to update soon!
