Freinds meet
Jaune had been waiting for nightfall with Neo in an apartment Roman owned to stash some of his essentials.
"Jeez why does one guy need so many hats?" Jaune questioned as he looked into a closet filled with Bowler hats with Neo right behind him keeping as quiet as possible since yesterday.
"You really don't like to talk much." Jaune told her as he continued to explore the apartment as Neo only shrugged in response.
Meanwhile in Vale
The silent and bombastic members of team PNR had just left a store with the girl dragging her boyfriend around town.
"Come on Ren Ren if you don't hurry up we are going to be late for the movie." Nora complained as she dragged Ren through the streets.
"Nora the theater is that way and it doesn't start for another hour." Ren tried telling her as he was being held by his wrist.
"Oh right. Then what do you want to do Ren?" Nora asked as she stopped dragging him around.
"Well we could get the stuff Pyrrah sent us to get while we wait." Ren offered as he waited for a response.
"Oh that I asked Pyrrah to make that up so you would leave your room and not sleep the day away sleepy head." Nora told him with a wicked grim on her face.
"You gotta be kidding." Ren said not believing what he just heard.
"Oh how about we go to the The Hunter Hut, Ruby asked for me to check if they have her special bullets for Cresent Rose." Nora said as she lead Ren to the store.
"You know we won't be able to pick them up for her so why don't we just go to the arcade next to the theater." Ren suggested trying to keep his girlfriend as far away from the explosive section at the store as much as possible.
"Okay Ren Ren but then you need to make pancakes for breakfast tomorrow." She said happily as she skipped to the arcade with Ren behind her.
Back at the apartment
Jaune had been completely bored for the last few hours being stuck with the ever so silent Neo.
"Will you at least say something!" Jaune shouted annoyed at the mute girl once again gaining no response.
"Fine be that way." Jaune grumbled as he started to read a book on archery to occupy him for the next few hours as Neo just sat around the apartment.
'This is going to take forever.' Jaune thought to himself as he read his book.
'Don't worry kid it's not that bad.' Jaune heard Tukson's voice echo in his head again.
'Oh sorry I forgot that you were here Tukson, sorry.' Jaune apologized to the ghost as he closed up his book.
'Yeah I guess I haven't been talking to much since you took that job from Roman.' Tukson explained to the blonde knight.
'Well compared to her your a public speaker.' Jaune told the Faunus as he briefly looked at Neo.
'Don't worry hopefully after this you never have to work with criminals again kid.' Tukson told him as the sun started to go down.
"Okay we better start getting ready." Jaune told Neo as he put on the duster and the mask, as well as leaving Corcea Mors at the apartment, and grabbing the chainsaw sword that Roman was letting him use as he walked out with Neo right behind.
Approaching the hunter hut
"Okay you get the dust while I keep watch." Jaune told Neo as he stood by the door as she walked in seductivly.
'Was it the best idea to send the mute to rob the place?' Tukson questioned Jaune as he stood still.
'Oh yeah I forgot about that, oh well I think she can handle it.' Jaune told him as he leaned against the wall of the building as it was being robbed.
Meanwhile with the happy couple
The movie just ended and now Nora was dragging Ren once more to the Hunter Hut.
"Nora it's late don't you think we should head back." Ren said trying to convince his girlfriend to head back to the school.
"Nope sorry Ren but I wanted to see the new ammunition they have in stock." Nora said with a slightly evil smirk on her face.
"There is just no arguing with you." Ren said as he began to follow Nora until reaching the shop where a person with a white fang mask was standing in front of.
"Wait Nora I think it's being robbed look." Ren says as he points out the oddly dressed individual.
"What should we do?" Nora asked getting a little more serious now.
"Do you have your weapon?" Ren asked as he pulled Storm Flower from his sleeves.
"No I left them at the dorm but don't worry you can handle this Ren Ren!" Nora cheered as she pushed Ren forward to confront the stranger.
"Hey." Ren said as he stumbled forward right in front of the person.
"And who might you be?" The person asked trying to imitate a tough voice.
"He's the one who is going to kick your but!" Nora shouted as she got a camera from somewhere and started to record as Ren got into a fighting stance.
"Okay then bring it on." The stranger said as he activated the chainsaw and charged forward raising his sword to strike at Ren, who raised the knives on his gun to block.
"Go on Ren break his legs!" Nora cheered while recording the fight.
The stranger then pulled his sword back and went for another swipe at Ren only to be diverted by one of his blades and forced to move back as Ren used his other gun to fire a stream of bullets at him.
"This isn't going to be easy is it?" The stranger asked Ren sarcastically.
"It would be if you turned yourself in." Ren told him as he fired more rounds at him.
"Yeah I don't think so." He said while rolling away from line of fire and charged at Ren to try and swing his sword down on him only for Ren to dodge and cut the masked man's arm with his blades. The masked stranger then swung again only for Ren to roll behind him and shoot him in the back several times.
"Geez that stung!" The stranger said, dropping the tough voice for a second.
Ren saw his window of opportunity and charged forward and used his blades to separate the man from his weapon that clattered against the ground by Nora.
"Give up your unarmed and I would like to get home and sleep if you don't mind." Ren told him in a calm voice while maintaining a serious death like state on him.
"I don't think so." The man said as green aura covered his body as his hands turned into a set of claws. He then lunged forward and threw Ren to the ground several feet away. As the man walked to fight the academy student some more an airship appeared above the dust shop that seemed to be loading up on stolen dust.
"Well looks like it's time for me to leave." The masked swordsman said as he ran to pick up his sword and then grabbed a rope connecting to the airship that pulled him up as it took off.
"Ren he's getting away!" Nora complained childishly as she waved a pointed finger at the ship as it left.
"Nora it's fine I'm sure we will see him some other time. In the meantime lets just go to the dorm and get some sleep." Ren told the childish girl as they walked off.
Back to Jaune
Jaune was in the fleeing airship and sat in a chair as his aura healed the cut on his arm.
'Tukson, mind telling me what that green aura was about?' Jaune asked the deceased Faunus.
'I don't know kid, you somehow managed to use my semblance.' Tukson said curiously, wondering how Jaune managed to do that.
'Whatever we got away. We will discuss it later.' Jaune told him as focused on the flight.
In the morning back at Beacon
"So Ren I heard you and Nora went on a date." Yang said as they sat at their table for breakfast.
"Yeah it was great we went shopping, saw a movie, and then Ren almost beat up someone wearing a dogie mask!" Nora said happily as Blake froze at the mention of the masked individual.
"What was that?" Blake asked the bomber in a deadly serious tone.
"Oh Ren almost stopped some guy from stealing a bunch of dust only for him to get away in a ship." Nora explained to her.
"Wait is the white fang back I thought they shut down years ago." Weiss said with deep worry in her voice after what happened during their first year.
"I hope not they caused a lot of trouble last time we fought them." Blake said as she tried to access the situation.
"Should we tell Ozpin?" Pyrrah asked the group as she sat down at the table.
"No because it might just be someone in a mask pretending to scare people." Ruby explained as she stopped eating the cookies on her plate.
"Then what do we do?" Weiss retorted to their leader.
"Yang do you think you could gather some information on what happened?" Ruby asked her sister.
"Yeah don't worry I'll go tonight and talk to a guy who owes me some favors." Yang told the group as she cracked her knuckles.
"Ok then until Yang can tell us anything about the person we shouldn't bring this up." Pyrrah said to the group as the bell rang for first period.
Back with Jaune
Jaune was currently in the hideout talking to Roman about his weapons.
"Well Blondie I have your bow finished but your other weapon will take a little bit more time to finish." Roman told him as he handed Jaune a white bow with a yellow grip and a quiver that held a variety of dust arrows.
"So when will my other weapon be done?" Jaune asked while collapsing the bow and attaching it to the quiver.
"It should be done in a couple days, since the design is a little complicated." Roman told Jaune as he put his legs up onto the table he was sitting at while lighting a cigar.
"Well I guess it gives me some time to practice. Just come find me when it's done." Jaune says as he promptly leaves while giving Roman back the White Fang stuff.
Jaune left Roman's hideout and went to the forest to test out his archery skills on some Grimm.
"Okay let's see how we do." Jaune tells himself as he pulls back an arrow, aiming at an unaware Beowolf. When the arrow fired it a missed the Grimm and hit a tree in front of it, alerting the Grimm who turned around and ran at Jaune."
"Oh shit!" Jaune cursed as he quickly grabbed a fire arrow from his quiver and pulled it back sending it into the Grimm's arm as it exploded causing it to die a slow and painful death.
'Maybe you should practice on some targets instead before moving on to Grimm.' Tukson warned as Jaune left to get some stationary targets.
'Yeah your right. Oh and I almost forgot how did I use your semblance yesterday, did you figure that out?" Jaune asked as he left the forest to but targets.
'Yeah I did. I think it's because you absorbed my soul that had aura in it so when I run out I should disappear.' Tukson explained.
'But Alister wasn't in my body so how did he vanish?' Jaune asked the ghost.
'Well you were knocked out when you met him he must have been absorbed when your semblance activated for the first time.' Tukson told him as Jaune continued to look for a store to buy targets from.
'But he was still visible and could train me.' Jaune told Tukson trying to poke holes in his theory.
'Mayne he found out how to manifest himself outside of your body when you met. Wait a second while I try something.' Tukson said as he tried to leave Jaune's body and appeared in front of him.
'Wait so did you leave or are we still connected?' Jaune asked the ghost.
'No, you still have my aura, witch means after it runs out I will no longer be bound to you or where I died meaning that I should pass on.' Tukson proposed as looked pleased by the possibility of no longer being on Remnant as a ghost of his former self. (Yang pun)
'So until then me and you are partners.' Jaune said as he looked at Tukson with hopeful eyes.
'I guess so. It'll be a pleasure working with a sap like you kid.' Tukson said as he followed Jaune as he set up the targets.
