Jaune was running around Emerald forest he was jogging with his sword in hand. He had been training since morning and it felt like the day will never end for him but at least now, when evening is here, there are no classes to attend so that's good news. Jaune knew Nara was getting stronger so he is training his body to be ready as he stare down at a pack of Beowolfs as they charged at Jaune from all directions as Jaune notice something different about this pack.

"Come at me" Jaune yelled while dodging one after another before swinging his sword at a few of them who were charging towards him. The Beowolves tried attacking him by using their claws or biting onto him but Jaune quickly dodged most attacks which resulted into some small minor cuts on his arm. "I need more speed!" He said looking down at himself as he got hit multiple times during the battle. His clothes tore apart because of how much damage he took from those beasts. But despite that, Jaune still continued fighting until finally, he managed to defeat every single Beowolf inside the area as he smirked as he continue running in the forest.

After finishing his workout session, he went back home where Coral greeted him with a smile even though she looked exhausted due to her long day of work. She immediately noticed the injuries on Jaune's cuts along with the torn clothing. "What happened?" She asked concerned about her partner

"Beowolf." Jaune said simply while taking off his shirt showing her his wounds which were already healed . "They attacked me again today. They just kept coming and they seem to get stronger each time" He explained while scratching his head.

"Perhaps Salem is making them stronger? Or perhaps you're not giving your full effort during combat training?" Coral suggested as she walked closer to him. She then touched the wounds on Jaune's arms. "These aren't serious right? I mean we can heal these easily enough..."

"Coral this isn't serious wound. I allowed them to hurt me." Jaune said as Coral looked at him crazy.

"You let them do that?! Are you out of your mind?!" Coral shouted angrily as she stared daggers at her partner.

"It let me know how strong they are." Jaune said calmly as he scratched his chin. "So if anything happens next time, I won't underestimate them anymore ."

Coral sighed deeply seeing what she thought as an idiot act from her partner. "Well... as long as you don't get hurt." Coral muttered before walking away from him.

Jaune then went to go for a shower after putting back his clothes on. He didn't want to take a bath yet since he knows Coral would scold him later for being dirty. After washing up, he came back wearing only his underwear as he sat beside his bed. As soon as he laid down, he fell asleep instantly for a nap. 1 hour later A loud sound woke him up. He saw that someone is trying to open his door as Jaune loaded his pistol

"Who goes there?" Jaune said as he pointed his gun towards the person standing outside his room. It turned out to be Ruby.

"Ruby! What are the hell?!" He exclaimed happily seeing his friend.

"Hey Jaune" Ruby replied as she entered his bedroom scared as she jumps into his arm

"Woah what wrong?" Jaune asked confused.

"Nothing really.. I'm sorry I disturbed your sleep" Ruby answered nervously as she looks at him.

"No problem" Jaune smiled as he petted her hair gently.

Ruby blushed hearing that and hugged Jaune tightly.

"Are you okay." Jaune asked worriedly as he felt something wet on his cheek.

"Yeah.. I just wanted to see you...I had a nightmare about Nara killing me " Ruby said sadly as she hugs Jaune tighter.

"Don't worry...you're safe with us now" Jaune reassured her.

"Thank you...for protecting us" Ruby said as tears started flowing down from her eyes.

"It's my job" Jaune said as he wiped the tears from her face.

"But I feel bad...that I couldn't protect myself...and everyone else...I should've fought back...but I-" Ruby stopped herself as she held onto Jaune.

"Stop worrying Ruby. We'll always keep you protected." Jaune said reassuringly.

"Okay" Ruby nodded.

The two friends stayed silent as they just hug each other.

"I Promise Nara is going to pay for everything." Jaune said confidently as he pats Ruby's head.

"Thanks Jaune" Ruby whispered as she got up to leave as Jaune got dressed to go get dinner as he meet up with Gwen, Monica, Jade, and Anna

They sat down together as they eat their food which consisted of pasta with meat sauce as they talked about various stuff.

Jaune then told them how the Beowolves attacked him today since he wanted to talk to someone who won't think of him like an idiot after he revealed that he allowed those beasts to hit him to see because they were report of them getting much more aggressive and stronger.

"It seems they are getting stronger." Monica said after hearing what he said.

"Yes but it might not be due to Salem..." Gwen answered worriedly. "Maybe she's teaching them some new skills?" She suggested as they all look at each other.

"So it can't just be her right? So what if Salem's magic didn't do anything?" Jade asked curiously while everyone was confused.

"Well we have no way of telling that.. but could it that these Grimm have gained intelligence." Gwen proposed as everyone stared at her. "We know there are a lot of different Grimm out there from the old times and we've seen a few of them. There were a few that had human features but they all were very stupid. They were just following their instincts."

"What you're saying means that these Beowolves actually started thinking." Jaune said as everyone looked surprised by the answer.

"Yes it is possible but it also could mean that there are more things we don't know about Grimm yet." Anna added as Gwen nodded.

"We need more info...I guess it's back to hunting the Beowolves again to see." Monica said before taking a sip of her coffee.

Jaune agreed and said. "Yeah...I think I'll join the hunt. It will help me to get stronger too"

The others nodded seeing how strong the man is even without any training.

"I heard some of the Grimm in the forest aren't even the normal Beowolfs." Anna added.

"Well we will hunt them down." Gwen said as she takes another sip of her coffee.

Jaune looked around at the girls as they smile at him with his eyes full of determination to defeat the Beowolves.

***

The next day, Jaune and the rest of his team went on their hunts to the forest. The team split up into smaller groups so they could cover more ground and search for more Beowolves. They were able to find a few but they were still just ordinary Beowolves and not the new kind that Salem supposedly used to make.

Jaune and Ruby decided to work together. It was good for both of them since they could train in combat together, which also helped them build their relationship again. After searching for almost a whole day they found nothing so the two friends decided to go back and head back to Vale.

"How's it going?" Ruby asked as they walk along the road heading back.

"Nothing yet" Jaune replied as he pats his back pocket where he keeps the silver coin. He's been looking everywhere to find Salem but he can't seem to find her anywhere.

"Well at least you haven't seen Nara today" Ruby giggled.

"Yeah..it looks like she doesn't want to fight us" Jaune smiled back as they continued their walk together.

They arrived back to Vale after getting dinner with the others. Jaune and Ruby decided to stay back in their room since they needed some time alone to talk about various things.

"You look worried" Ruby noticed.

"Yeah..I'm just worried. Nara has aura now and multiple semblance.. That should be impossible since she wasn't born with aura. What if this is someone experimented on her...or what if some scientist is working for them. I mean it does look like it." Jaune said worriedly as he rubs his chin.

Ruby sighed and patted Jaune's shoulder. "We will stop them Jaune." She said reassuringly.

"I know..but we can't just leave Nara alive now. She to crazy and it starting to drive me nuts." Jaune complained as he looked away sadly.

"Don't worry Jaune. If anyone is going to stop them, it's us" Ruby said as Gwen, Monica, Coral and Amber joined them and smiled.

"If she does come we will deal with her." Monica said as the rest nodded in agreement.

"She right if she shows her face again we fucking kill that crazy bitch." Gwen said with a smirk

"I have to agree with her." Amber said as all of them looked at her in surprise.

"After what she did to Jaune and the innocent people she deserve to die." Coral said

"Alright then, lets just stay alert and try to be careful so we can find any clues of where she's hiding out" Jaune said before taking a sip from his beer.

Ruby and the others nodded and took another drink as they looked at the city. They could hear some kind of commotion in the streets below them. Ruby put her cup down and looked at the group with concern on her face.

"What's wrong?" Amber asked concerned.

"They are here..." Ruby said looking outside at the streets below them. The sound was getting louder by the second. It sounds like it came from a couple of blocks away from the building.

Jaune looked around at everyone. "Well I guess its time to see who this guy is" He said as the girls nodded and got up from their seat.

"Alright! Let's go." Amber said excitedly.

The team went down to the lobby to see what happened as they look out the windows. On the streets there were a bunch of people screaming and running away from the center of town. There was a single black car stopped at the end of the street as a large dark figure walked towards it with a gun in one hand while he held the other over his head.

There were some guards in front of the building but they had ran off and left their post so the rest of the civilians had no chance to run away from him.

Jaune's eyes widened seeing the person as Jaune reach for his weapon as he glares at him as the man looked at him

"Well hello Jaune Arc....I am.." the man was cut off

"Jacques Schnee.." Jaune said angrily as Jacques looked at him curiously.

"Well you know what I Have come for where is my daughters." Jacques said arrograntly as the others looked at him with confusion.

"You are wasting your time Jacques. There isn't a daughter of yours anymore." Jaune said sternly as Jacques smiled coldly.

"Oh is that so...and why would you say such thing boy?" Jacques asked as he looks at Jaune.

"Because they chose to disown you as their father." Jaune said as Jacques glared at him

"Watch your tone boy." Jacques said angrily as Jaune aimed his weapon as Jacques guard aimed their weapons at him

"Oh no you don't" Gwen and Monica said aiming their guns at him.

"Kill him." Jacques said sternly as the guards shoot at Jaune but to their shock Jaune stop the bullets with his hands glowing

"We have been waiting for you for a long time" Jaune said calmly as he aimed at Jacques chest.

"What?" Jacques said with a wide eyed expression as his face turns pale as he tries to talk, but his words came out in gasps.

"It doesn't matter." Amber said as she shot him between the eyes. The others nod as they walked up to Jacques.

"Let it be known. We will take any chance we get to hunt down the scum of our world. Those who abuse and mistreat children like your daughter should be treated the same way they treat us. May all the souls in Hell burn in flames for eternity!" Gwen shouted as the others nodded in agreement.

"This make it much easier to kill you now." Jaune said as he activated Black Flames as he aim at him again.

"Nooohhhh!" Jacques said in pain as his body was on fire. The flames were so hot they even seeped through his suit of armor to burn away his flesh as the burns were so severe he couldn't even feel any pain.

Jaune walked away with the girls back to beacon as the dead corpse of Jacques was ashes away in an instant.

***

They arrived back at Beacon and took off their gear before heading inside.

"That was close. If we would have been caught then I don't know what could happen..." Ruby said nervously as the group looked at her and nodded in understanding.

"Well we have to thank Jaune for helping us out there." Coral said as the others laughed in agreement.

"Yeah thanks Jaune." Amber said happily.

"Thanks Jaune..." Coral added.

"You are all welcome...but please keep in mind this will not be the last time we'll see that crazy bastard" Jaune said as he sighed.

"Good to hear." Coral said as the others nod.

Timeskip

Jaune was sitting with Jade as they were alone because Jaune Team was on a mission with Winter acting leader because Jaune stayed behind to train his grimm side once again as they were resting two people came with Pyrrha as it was Jade and Pyrrha parents as Jade notice them to be their parents

"Mom, Dad." Jade said looking at them with uneasy as Pyrrha stood their smirking

"Why are you here? Jade asked looking at her mother

"To talk." Athena said

"I heard what you are doing to your little sister Jade." Katsuki said angrily as Jade glare back

"I have no idea what your talking about." Jade said

How dare you steal him away from your younger sister!" Katsuki yelled out, looking angry and his arms were crossed, looking like he didn't care about their daughter.

"Jaune didn't want to date her. That is his choice." Jade said looking angrily at her father

"Well he shouldn't have choose you as his girlfriend." Athena said

"You're a bad influence on Jaune."Pyrrha said

"Yet Jaune choose me over her." Jade said as her father looked at the ground embarrassed while looking at Pyrrha, clearly enjoying herself. "And it's not as if we haven't dated before this."

"I know that, but you need to stay away from Jaune!" Athena said glaring at her older daughter who looked like she had something to say.

"Typical you always siding with Pyrrha!" Jade shouted out, looking pissed off at her parents

"Plus your daughter Pyrrha betrayed me. Jaune said angrily as Pyrrha flinched in response to him yelling at her.

"Pyrrha didn't betray you! I'm sorry for her being so rash and impulsive." Athena said as Jaune glared at her and his jaw clenched.

"It doesn't matter now. You can all rot in hell!" Jaune said glaring at all of them. "If I had to choose between Pyrrha or Jade to be my girlfriend. it would be Jade, she knows how to treat me right."

Jade look at him with loving gaze as Katsuki glared at his oldest daughter as if she was a complete stranger. Katsuki felt his face burning as he raised his hand at Jade as Jaune saw it and grabbed it

"Oh no you don't" Jaune said, looking at him sternly as Katsuki tried to pull his hand free but he held his wrist tightly. "What do you think you're doing?"

Katsuki wince in pain as his hand throbbed.

"You tried to hit Jade for what. Me not dating your golden child." Jaune said angrily

"I Knew this would happen it always with you taking her side." Jade said as her father looked angrily while she walked towards her father and slapped him on the cheek.

"That's for trying hitting me!" She shouted as he glared at her with tears in his eyes. "And this is for trying to make Pyrrha date Jaune! You never did anything for me that again!"

"You are a mistake. I know I should have abandoned you" Athena said looking away as Jade begin to tear up

"I always knew you saw me as a mistake mother! And now look at me!" Jade shouted, looking around at her family as they stared at her like she was something to be ashamed of.

"I am someone who strong and brave enough to fight villains and Grimm." Jade said as her father scoffed at her

"You were always an embarrassment whether you become a huntress." Katsuki shouted out, feeling his rage rise.

"Well I am sorry but I don't see myself as an embarrassment! I'm not like Pyrrha , you always try to ruin my life! All because I was born first! first daughter! It makes no sense!" Jade said angrily as she felt angry tears welling up inside her.

"You are no longer our daughter." Katsuki said as he pulled away.

"Fine I didn't ask for any of this! And I hate you all! I just want to be left alone!" Jade said, standing up as Jaune watched her and felt a rush of emotions coming from her that was hard to contain as he hugged her tight, tears pouring down her face as he kissed her right there

"I'm sorry that this went way overboard" Jaune whispered, looking up into her eyes

"Jaune, don't say that." She replied softly with his hand still on her cheek

"It's alright" Jade said as Jaune look at them as his eyes glow showing his Grimm side shocking Pyrrha and her parents

"Pyrrha I think it's time for us to go." Katsuki said in fear looking back at them as Jaune glare hardens and he growl at them, feeling a dark aura emanating from him, he looks around to see that they were all frightened, Athena looked back at Jade in shock as her daughter and husband  too as Katsuki looked scared of what he was about to do next.

"Don't even think about coming at us! Or else you'll regret it!" Jaune snarled, his hands glowing with a black-ish aura as Katsuki began to tremble before running away from there terrified. "Now if you want to live you better not come at me or my girlfriend." Jaune then release that blacklish aura as he turned towards the other two"Now leave or I promise you will feel my rage." he mother and daughter stare at him fearfully, knowing he would do anything to hurt them.

"Please, let me leave" Athena begged him, holding her hand out to him, but Jaune just nodded to them

"Leave now while we don't have to kill you." He said as he stared at his family as he held Jade arms "And no matter where you run off to. You'll always be in my shadow, I will make sure of it."

The family left in fear as Jaune Grimm eyes was more scary as Jade brave face fall as she begin to tear up as she look at

"Why can't they ever support me." Jade asked as he held her.

"I don't know Jade but know this you are the one who won my heart not your sister." He said as he kissed her on the lips softly as she blushed looking down as he pulled her back to him tightly, tears began to stream down her cheeks as she hug him tight "It's okay sweetheart."

He whispered in her ear before they kissed again, tears running down their faces as she hold him tight, feeling her body shaking

"Jaune?" Jade said in between sobs

"I'm here, I got you" Jaune said as she hugged him tightly as she begin to cry loudly as she feel ashamed that even after her all these year her parent still see her as a mistake

Jaune hugged her tighter, whispering words of comfort into her ears before she slowly fell asleep, holding him close with her eyes closed, he felt her warmth as she began to tremble, her body going limp, as he carried her to his room since it was closer as he placed her on his head

"Jaune" She whispered weakly before falling asleep as He looked at her beautiful sleeping face as his heart broke, he wanted to kill those that made her suffer as he held her tight, she began to shake in his arms as he gently laid her down on the bed and laid down beside her, placing a hand on her chest as he stared at her

"She is safe now. She's my world now." Jaune whispered as he held her tight as she slowly began to sleep, closing her eyes and her breathing steady as he watched her until he fell asleep.

Few hours later

Jaune woke up to see Jade practically using chest as her pillow as she was sleeping happily, smiling as she look to be in peace

Jaune begin to cuddle with Jade, holding her close, kissing her on the forehead as he smiled to himself "You're safe."

He whispered softly as she smiled, closing her eyes before she yawned

"What time is it" She whispered as she opened them seeing Jaune looking at her

"6PM" He replied

"It's evening already!" Jade asked as she look around, rubbing her eyes as she yawns more

"Let's go to the cafe for some dinner then you can have the night off, I'll handle everything tonight, just stay in bed and relax." Jaune said but she grabbed his hand

"Don't leave please.' Jade asked as she kissed him quickly and blushed as he blushes back

Jaune blushes as they head towards the cafeteria together as they were met by Gwen Monica, Anna who joined them at the table

"Glad to see you both back, did anything happen while we were gone?" Gwen asked as they began to eat their meal

"Jade ex family." Jaune said angrily

"Really? So how'd it go?"

"Bad" Jaune sighed

"You're so lucky to get away from those people." Anna said as Jaune nodded and takes a bite of his burger.

"How bad was it." Monica asked worriedly to Jade.

"They disowned me because they found out that I won't share Jaune with Pyrrha." Jade said as everyone looked at each other in shock.

"But... Why?" Gwen asked angry

"They always take her side over me." Jade said as she began to cry quietly as everyone looked at her in surprise

"That it the next time I see them I am killing them." Gwen asked as Jaune nodded

"I think I can make it happen with a Grimm attack." Jaune said coldly as the girls looked at him

"Wait does that mean.." Monica asked as Jaune smiled

"Yes I managed to finally control the Grimm."Jaune said proudly as he yelped as he was tackled by all four of his girlfriend.

"Now We can control the Grimm as a last resort if we are really in danger" Anna cheered

"And you can protect us better now." Monica added as Jaune blushed

"I'll do my best." Jaune said smiling as they kiss

"So what are we doing now?" Anna asks as everyone looks at her

"Well I guess we should try to plan what the white fang might do " Gwen said as Jaune sighed

"I swear those extreme Faunus were once good..What caused them to go down this path." Jaune said as he sighs

"I don't know babe." Monica said sadly

"Maybe we find their leader Sienna then we talk to her." Anna said

"That would be great but the problem is she on Menagerie." Jade said

"True but we could send someone to contact her and negotiate a deal." Gwen suggested

"Alright let's do that first, we need to keep ourselves busy until the meeting with Sienna." Anna said as everyone agreed

After finishing their meal they decided to return to their rooms, planning on waking early tomorrow morning to meet with Sienna and her menagerie.

***

Everyone wakes up early and prepare themselves for the meeting, having breakfast and getting ready.

"Are we sure about this? It seems like an impossible task to get through a group of armed Faunus." Monica asked nervously

"We've faced worse than these guys before, plus I'm sure the others will help us." Jade said confidently as everyone nods

"We're going to need a lot of luck though, hope we don't run into any trouble today." Anna says

"No such thing as bad luck only poor judgement." Gwen says cheerfully as they smile

"You guys are going to need my help too since I have a way to contact Sienna." Anna said as everyone look at her surprised

"What is your secret weapon?" Jade asked as Anna smirked as Jaune was walking in with his wolf quirk

"Is this really necessary." Jaune said with his wolf tail and ears flicking behind him

"Yeah it is, trust me." Anna said as Jaune sighed and gave in

"Alright but don't blame me when Faunus girl come after me." Jaune said as the group went to the front as Jaune opened a portal to Menagerie.

Menagerie is the city where the white fangs along with Faunus live, it's surrounded by a huge wall and is filled with many shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, markets, and even a few museums. There are also large parks scattered across the city with lots of trees and flowers planted everywhere.

The place is very peaceful and quiet compared to Vale. The main difference being there is no sound of traffic or cars, and the buildings are built with wood rather than metal.

Anna and Monica walked through the streets looking around and admiring the buildings. They noticed a lot of Faunus and white fang around, some carrying weapons while others had no visible weapons. A lot of them seemed friendly enough as they walk past and greet them.

Monica notices a female, Bengal tiger-based Faunus with amber eyes, dark complexion and wild black, chin-length hair with an asymmetrical bob style. She walks up to her and approaches her cautiously

"Hello there. Can I help you?" The girl asked with a beautiful voice

"Hi, umm... My name is Monica, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Sienna, nice to meet you Monica." Sienna said with a big smile

"It's nice to meet you too." Monica replied as they shake hands as Jaune turned off his wolf quirk as Jade, Gwen, and Anna meet up

"So why did you seek me out." Sienna asked as Monica explains about the situation of the white fang in vale as Sienna is mad

"THOSE TRAITOROUS SONS OF BITCHES! WHAT THE HELL DID. THEY DO TO KILL THE INNOCENT" Sienna yells as everyone gasps

"Calm down please, we don't want to start another fight here." Gwen said soothingly

"I Apologize and your there." Sienna said pointing to Jaune "You were the one who killed Adam and his men." Sienna said as Jaune nod

"I'm sorry about that madam but it was either that or let innocent die." Jaune said with a sad face

"Don't worry about it, I understand and behalf of the white fang leader aplogizes for our actions. We won't cause anymore trouble and I will make sure that my troops know ." Sienna said calming down

"Thank you for understanding madam, we will leave you alone from now on" Jaune said as they all bow respectfully

"Okay thank you!" Sienna said smiling happily

"If you ever need anything please let us know, we can offer assistance if needed we are a group that support Faunus and if ever need help don't hesitate to ask." Anna said as Sienna looks at the group excitedly

"Thanks a lot, I'll remember that" Sienna said smiling

They continue walking through the market place, passing by stalls selling food, clothing, accessories, and more. As they enter a park they see a small stage and a crowd gathered, watching a performance of Faunus dancing. They watched the show as Sienna and Monica talk to each other while the girls watch the show, amazed by the Faunus' dance moves.

Jaune and Gwen sat down on a bench nearby, watching the people pass by and enjoying the scenery.

Gwen turns to Jaune smile leaning on him as he wrapped his arm around her.

"You seem happy today." Gwen said looking up at him as she smiles

"Yes I am. It's been a while since I've seen something so interesting."

"I guess that's what makes travelling fun." Gwen smiled

"I agree. Where would you like to go next after all this over?" Jaune asks as Gwen thought for a moment

"Hmm, I haven't decided yet. Let's just enjoy ourselves first before deciding." Gwen replies

"Sounds good to me. After all, we're on holiday right? No work, no worries." Jaune says with a grin

Gwen smiles back at him, wrapping her arms around him as they cuddle.

After a long day of sightseeing, shopping and meeting new friends, they decide to head back to the hotel to rest. As they get back to their room, Anna, Jade and Gwen are already inside resting while Monica stays outside the door waiting for them.

"How was your trip?" Monica asks

"It was amazing! I really enjoyed myself, thanks to you guys." Monica replied with a smile as she got dressed

"No problem. Anyways, it's time for bed." Jade yawns stretching her arms above her head as Monica smiles as they all went to bed
