There was a trail of blood that just landed on Menagerie soil. Rarity, and the Belladonna's watched as Adam Taurus, Leader of the White Fang, right arm was cut off. A few seconds later, the Bull Faunus scream loudly as his arms was sliced out. 

Adam: "AAAHHH! You son of bitch!" He yells as he holds his right limb where his arm used to be. 

Jaune: "My ain't this site for sore eyes. The deadly Adam Taurus defeated and on his knees as his weapon lays their broken." He said with a smirk as he walked up to Adam and pulls out a double-barreled flintlock pistol.

Adam: "This wasn't supposed to happen! I was going to lead a new world without humans!!" He yells.

Jaune was just walking to him while loading the flintlock.

Adam: "She made a deal with us. We would help her and she would create the new world!" He yells as he officially lost his insanity.  

Jaune: "Now this is something that I need to know." He said as he stands in front of Adam and kneels down to his level. "Who is the woman you speak up?" He asked as his puts his pistol under his chin. Adam then began to laugh like a maniac.

Adam: "What good will that do? I don't care if you'll kill me so what's the point in me revealing her identity." He said with a smirk.

Jaune: "Because if you don't then I'll make you talk. Like this." He said as he brings his arm forward, sending the wires from Cross-Tails to his right limb.

Then Jaune slowly clenched his metallic fingertips slowly, making the threads tighten around Adam's arm, causing him to scream in pain. 

Jaune: "Talk." He ordered.

Adam: "Go fuck yourself!!!" He yells. 

Jaune didn't say anything as he just tighten the wires again.  Adam was in even more pain. Jaune kept tightening it for a few more minutes until Jaune was getting aggravated.

Jaune: "I'm a very busy man so let's make this quick. Tell me who this woman is or I'll cut the other arm." He said with a frown as he wraps thread around Adam's left arm and began to tighten it.

Adam: "WAIT! WAIT! I'll talk. But, beware of her mistress." He said with a warning as his mask fell from his face and looked Jaune in the eyes. "Her name is Cinder Falls. She claims to be the Fall Maiden, but we both know that it's a load of shit. She's always followed by her two lapdogs Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai."

Jaune: "Interesting to know. I'm grateful for the information Adam Taurus. Normally, I would help save your life, but we both know that you're too stubborn to accept my help and that if you escape, this Cinder woman would kill you for spilling the beans. So tell me..." He stopped talking as he takes out a cigarette, puts it in his mouth and snaps his fingers, which lit the cigarette. "... what do you want before your life ends."

Adam: *scoffs* "Not much of a choice if I'm going to die anyway. Just give me a cigarette." He said frown as he accepts his fate.

Jaune didn't say anything as he pulls out another tobacco stick, lits it and puts it to his mouth. Adam accepts it and smokes it. As the bull Faunus smokes his last cigarette, the head of Numancia Flamingo walks behind him and aims his gun to his head. 

Jaune: "Goodbye, Adam Taurus." He said as he pulls the trigger, and putting an end to the Leader of the White Fang.

Rarity and the Belladonnas walked up to Jaune as he looked to dead Faunus and continues to smoke his cigarette. 

Ghira: "It didn't had to be this way for him. He held so much promise and potential for the White Fang and his people." He said as he looked to his body with sad eyes along with Kali.

Rarity: "His actions were for the Faunus, but many of them were to make humans suffer for their actions against the Faunus." She said as she holds Jaune's hand.

Jaune: "... Looks like we have uninvited guests." He said as he continues to smoke and doesn't look to the intruders.

The others looked around to find who was with them. A few seconds later, they heard the sounds of people running to their direction. They looked and see two people who arrived in a hurry to them. One is a woman with medium-brown skin and dark-red eyes, her hair is a light, mint-green with a straight fringe and bangs as well as two long locks on each side in the back. She wears an intricate white top and an olive-colored crop top, on the back of which is her personal emblem. This was intended to be accompanied by white shorts, decorated with what appears to be a gold coin-plated belt with four gold chains draping around her back from two of the coins and what seems to be a green loincloth and lastly a pair of strappy high-heeled pumps. 

The male is pale with gray eyes and gray hair, partially slicked back while unkempt at the front. He wears a slate gray and black two-tone partial-zip jacket that covers his upper body, a single notched belt with what appears to be a sash or bandana draped over it and lastly a pair of black combat boots.

?????: "Damn it! We're too late!" Yells the female.

?????: "Cinder is going to be pissed!" Yells the man.

Jaune: "Cinder? Let me guess, you're Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black?"

Mercury: "How the hell do you know that?" He said as both him and Emerald got into fighting stances. 

Jaune: "Not important." He said as he decides not to reveal Adam's name and drops his cigarette and steps on it. "What's important is that you're not going anywhere as you have questions to answer." He said as he reloads his flintlock pistol and readies Cross Tails.

Ghira: "As Chieftain of Menagerie, I will not allow you both to escape." He said as he stands next to Jaune and brings out his claws. 

Without saying anything, Jaune and Ghira charged at them with their weapons drawn.
