Jaune Arc - Dreamscape

Chapter 8

While Eve was trekking through the forest of Mt Glenn, she remembered something. She thought, 'Wasn't I asking that human...Wasn't I asking Jaune about Blake's whereabouts? I seem to have more reason to keep an eye on him when I can.'

To every White Fang member close to her, it looked like she was plotting something heinous. As they moved through the forest, they slowed down to keep their distance from Eve.

One of them whispered and said, "Hey, did someone piss off the head honcho?"

One of them shook their head and said, "Not that I know of. Besides, I don't think she is plotting anything heinous."

The previous one said, "Really? Then why did you back away?"

The other person did have nothing to say to that.

Another one said, "You lot got to keep it down. If she hears you, you are screwed! And there ain't nothing we can do about it."

Everyone kept their mouth shut throughout the journey. Best not to anger their leader.

With Oobleck and the others, they were interrogating Jaune about the events of last night. They wanted to know what happened. How was Torchwick here and tied up with his partner?

Jaune said, "I already told you guys! I was captured by one of the White Fang operatives patrolling the area. They brought me to their underground hideout, were sloppy with their rope work, and I escaped. Along the way, I fought Torchwick when I saw the train he was trying to start filled with bombs."

Weiss looked at Jaune and said, "Something doesn't add up. How could someone like you, who has displayed incredible feats of strength, be captured? Do you know what I believe? You got yourself captured to find the hideout. Along the way, you ended up dealing with Torchwick."

Jaune visibly sweated, and he spoke, "Pfft! C-Come on, Weiss. There is no way anyone would get themselves caught on p-purpose! That's just ridiculous. Especially to a human-hating group that would love nothing but to kill me on the spot."

Weiss glared at Jaune before saying, "That is true."

Jaune was glad that Weiss accepted his words. They let him go, and not long later, they had a bullhead picking them up as their mission was over. They found the hideout and took out Roman and his partner, which was a massive success.

Ruby pouted, crossed her arms, and said, "This was supposed to be our big adventure! How come only Jaune was able to do something cool? I wanted to capture him."

Jaune sighed and said, "Sorry, Ruby. Maybe I should have waited for all of you."

Ruby shook her head and said, "No, it's fine. I'm just being salty. Besides, if you weren't there, then who knows what Roman would have done with the train filled with bombs and the damage he could have caused."

While talking, they heard a voice shout, "Come along now! We need to head back to Beacon and hand in our report. Mr. Arc, you'll be the one speaking when we get back. You were the one that captured Mr. Torchwick, after all."

Jaune saluted Oobleck and said, "Will do, Dr. Oobleck."

While on the bullhead back to Beacon, Blake approached Jaune. She wanted to know he there was someone she knew he met.

Jaune knew what Blake was asking, "Beautiful Faunus with horns, red hair, and a voluptuous body? Do you mean Eve? Yeah, I met her."

Blake shook her head and said, "I know, Eve. Her hatred of humanity runs deep, but she would not harm you if she found you favorable toward the Faunus. No, I was talking about her twin, Adam Taurus."
