Things have calm downed since Jaune's and Ghira's battle between Mercury, Emerald and their unknown partner. Jaune then gathered up the unconscious White Fang members and tied them up so that when they wake up, they won't attack him and Rarity. They also took Sienna to Ghira's home where she could recover. Once the Faunus residents came out of their homes, Ghira made an announcement about Adam's Death. He explain how he changed the purpose of the white fang and how he tried to have Sienna, the current Leader, killed so that he could takeover. The Faunus were horrified how Adam would try to murder his own people just to claim leadership. Ghira also explains that the White Fang will be disbanded until further notice and that the unconscious members will be in prison for being Adam's followers. The people of Menagerie were shocked that the powerful organization is disbanded and decided to let things play out since he's the Chieftain. After the bad news was revealed, the Faunus cheered up when Ghira said that their will be Numancia Flamingo stores opening in Menagerie and that all of them will have prices they could afford. Who knew clothes and fashion can cheer people up. Anyways, the next day Jaune and Rarity were heading to the docks with, Ghira and Kali following them, to sail back to Vale since negotiations with Menagerie was pretty much finished, if you count killing a high-rank member from a terrorist organization and defeating some no-name grunts.

Ghira: "Once again, I'm sorry your stay here in Menagerie was short and that the White Fang attacked you both." Said the chieftain.

Jaune: "Like I said Ghira, it's not your fault. We're both busy men and you can't always keep up with what's happening with the organization since you have so much on your plate already." Said Jaune, who's wearing his everyday outfit.

Kali: "I do hope that whenever you need a vacation, you both can come back here in more pleasantry matters." Said the female faunus.

 Rarity: "That sounds nice. We'll contact you whenever we plan to visit Menagerie." Said the purple hair beauty.

Ghira: "Until then, Jaune Arc." He said as he brings his hand out.

Jaune: "Goodbye, Ghira Belladonna." He said with a smile as he grabs Ghira's hand and both shake on it.

Both the CEO and his assistant then went on board the ship, waved goodbye to the Belladonnas and the ship began to head to Vale. Both CEO and his assistant spend some together since they know once they get back to the office, there is a lot of work to do. After a day, the ship finally made it to Vale and Rarity contacted the company to send a ride for them. They waited for about 15 minutes until a black limo with pink pinstripes arrived. The chauffeur greeted them and open the door for them. They got inside and the chauffeur drove them back to Numancia Flamingo headquarters.

Jaune: "So, are there any appointments I have today?" He asked his assistant.

Rarity: "Luckily no. You have 3 of them tomorrow, 2 on Friday, and 5 Next week." Said the assistant as she looks through her scroll.

Jaune: *sighs* "With all these meetings with other fashion companies, it's going to take a lot of my time when designing new outfits." He said with a scowl.

Rarity: "I know, but more partners equal more profit and more customers." Said the purple hair lover of Jaune.

Before they could say anything else, the limo unexpectedly stopped leaving some tire marks. Both Jaune and Rarity were confused on what's going on. Jaune pressed a button near him, which was an intercom to the chauffer. 

Jaune: "Tony. What the fuck is going?!" He slightly yells to the chauffer.

Chauffer: "Sir, there's a Grimm invasion outside! People are running around frighten!" Yells the chauffer.

Jaune: "What?!" He yells before stepping out of the limo and seeing civilians running from the Grimm.

Jaune gritted his teeth and brings out his double-barreled flintlock. He quickly aims and shoots a beowolf that almost pounced on a man, killing the Grimm and saving him.

Jaune: "All civilians! Quickly go inside the Numancia Flamingo headquarters, where you will be safe from the Grimm!" He yells to all civilians, who quickly headed inside the fashion company building. "Rarity, make sure all security protected the civilians and building!" He yells to his assistant. 

The purple haired beauty nodded quickly and went inside the building with the civilians and headed to the front desk to contact the security team to protect them. Meanwhile, Jaune headed to the center of Vale, with his flintlock and Ito Ito no Mi powers. He used his firearm to shoot normal Beowolves and save people, while also telling them to head to the Numancia Flamingo where they would be sheltered. He continue to make his toward the center of Vale. On his way, he come across a huge King Taijitu, with both heads looking at him with their fangs raised.

Jaune: "You're a big son of a bitch ain't you." He said with a smirk as he quickly reloads his double-barreled and stretched his fingers, revealing sharp white strings from his fingers and raised his killer intent.

The King Taijitu had both heads hissed at him, which was actually a signal to all Grimmm around the area. A minute later, there were a lot of Beowolves, Boarbatusks, a few Ursas, and one Death Stalker. All of the Grimm are growling at him, with the intent to brutally murdered him. Jaune just smiles darkly.

Jaune: "So, you called a lot of help huh." He said with his curved sunglasses glowing red. "Well then, peasants." He then raises his voices as his spreads his arms and spreads his fingers.   "COME BATTLE THE KING AND SEE WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF!!!!!" He yells before laughing darkly.

   "COME BATTLE THE KING AND SEE WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF!!!!!" He yells before laughing darkly
