The Bastard of RWBY

Magic of the Hot Springs

Jaune, Emerald, Mercury and Adam with most of their forces marched to the wall. Adam then stopped Jaune, Jaune turned to Adam.

"Was it hard for you to kill the Halfhand?" Adam asked

Jaune looked at him with a nod "Yes" Jaune said "he gave some good advice"

"You liked him?" Adam asked

Jaune nodded

"I like you. But if you're playing us false, it won't be hard for me to kill you. I've got WhiteFang blood in my veins. These are my people" Adam said

"I understand" Jaune told him

Adam looked at him and smiled "Well, how could you understand?"

"You want to protect your people. So do I. But we need to Protect everyone from them" Jaune said

Adam smiled then looked to the men that passed Jaune and him "Do you know what it takes to unite 90 clans, half of whom want to massacre the other half for one insult or another? They speak seven different languages in my army. The Thenns hate the Hornfoots. The Hornfoots hate the ice-river clans. Everyone hates the cave people. So you know how I got moon worshippers and cannibals to march together in the same army"

"No"

"I told them we were all going to die if we don't get East. Because that's the truth"

and with those words Adam began to walk and Jaune followed him.

Jaune and Adam walked up to Mercury gaurding Martain, who was glowing green

Mercury turned to Adam, "Shouldn't be long now"

Jaune looked at Martain, "What's wrong with him?" Jaune asked

It's his Semblance He can enter the mind of animals, see through their eyes" Adam told Jaune "He's scouting for us"

"Martain" Adam said loudly to wake someone up

Martain began to open his eyes and he grabbed his head and looked to Adam. Adam kneeled infront of Martain and put his hand on Martains shoulders

"Where were you this time?" Adam asked

"I was at Misty Falls" Martrain told Adam

"Good Job, What did you see?" Adam asked

Martain looked down and then back at Adam "Dead Men. Walking dead men" Martain told adam

they all Arrived at Misty falls only to find broken weapons in the shape of a broken moon

Adam looked down and spat on the Image "Always the artists... sick fuckers" Adam said

"there are no bodies" Jaune said

Emerald then ooked to Martain, "You said there was dead people here"

"There was..." Martain replied

Adam then looked to Jaune, "How many men were here?" he asked the blonde knight

Jaune thought again, "About 1,000 I think" Jaune replied

Adam then looked to Jaune and stepped closer to him "And you know what those men are now?" Adam asked him and Jaune looked around and then back to Adam, Jaune knew. and he nodded

"We're all the same to them. Meat for their army"

"Do you think anyone got away?" Mercury asked

"It's not impossible. You don't go far betting against Church" Adam said "But dead or alive, he took a big gamble coming West. And he lost. Her best fighting men are dead. And whether she's Lord Commander of the Blue Fang or a grimmified corpse, she's a long way from home" Adam said, He looked to see the wall close by. 

Adam turned to Mercury "Mercury, Martain" Adam called and the two walked to up to him "I want you both to climb the Wall. Take Emerald and 20 good men" Adam said and then looked at Jaune "And take this one. He knows Fort Petras defenses better than any of us. And if he's useful, good. If not throw him off the Wall. See if Humans can fly" Adam said

"We're finally going to war, old friend?" Martain said with a smile

Adam smiled back to him "Hide near Fort Petra. When I give the signal, hit them in the night. They've got a big old wall to hide behind, but it only guards one side.

Martain and Adam then hugged

"We'll meet again" Martain said as he and Adam parted from the hug

"If you do your job" Adam said

Jaune looked to Adam "How will we see your signal?" Jaune asked

Adam turned to Jaune but then looked to Martain "Send your eagle above the Wall every night. When it's time, I'm going to light the biggest fire the East has ever seen!" Adam said and he smiled and with half of his men they set up camp and Mercury, Martain and Jaune with Emerald and 20 other men walked to the wall.

Jaune and Emerald bring firewood to the newly set up camp that everyone set up. Mercury sits next to Martain, Who looks at the two with disdain.

"Martain says there are Blue backs patrolling on the Wall. Tell me what you know"

"There are four to a patrol. Two builders to check for structural damage, two rangers to watch for enemies" Jaune told Mercury

Martain the got up and looked to Jaune "How often do these patrols go out?" he asked Jaune

"It varies" Jaunr told him "If I knew where on the Wall we were heading, I could tell you" Jaune told him

"You'd like to know that" Martain said, Jaune then dropped the wood and moved closer to Martain

Mercury watched with boredem "There are 19 castles guarding the Wall. How many are manned?" Mercury asked Jaune

Jaune then turned to Mercury "six when I left" Jaune told him

"You sure of that?" Martain asked

Jaune looks at Martain with a scold, "yeah, Most of the old forts are damaged" Jaune told him

"which six are manned?" Mercury asked

Jaune looked back to his fellow bastard, " Fort Petra, Eastwatch by the Sea, Bards tower, Pathers cave, Fort Tourmond, and Fort Mastel" Jaune told him

"And how many men remain in Petra?" Martain asked

"since most of our forces were lost in misty falls, I wanna say 700?" Jaune said

Martain then looked at Jaune and grabbed Jaune by the rim of his hoddie, "Lier! Is there more there!?" Martain yelled

Jaune then head-budded Martain in the face and Jaune then Grabbed out his sword and pointed it at Martains neck, "What happens to your eagle after I kill you? Does he drift away like a kite with his strings cut or does he just flop dead to the ground?" Jaune asked

Mercury then stepped in and pushed the two apart, "Martain he's one of us" Mercury told him, 

"he's no Blue-Back" Emerald cut in 

Martain looked at her "Just 'cause you want him inside you don't make him one of us!" Martain yelled as he walked to her

Emerald then pulled out a small knife that looked like her sword blades and held it at Martains stomach, "I'm not afraid of you" she told him

Martain looked at her with anger but he backed away.

"I don't need you to protect me" Jaune told Emerald

Emerald smirked at him "Of course you do. Who stopped Martain when he was about to cut your throat? Who vouched for you with Adam? It seems you owe me a debt" Emerald laughed and Jaune just rolled his eyes

Emerald looked away from him with a smile and saw a hot-spring and she cunningly smirked.

Emerald walked behind Jaune and undid his swords Sheath from his belt and Ran off with it. Jaune noticing the shift in weight looked to see Emerald running off with his sword

"Give it back Em!" Jaune yelled

Emerald turned back to Jaune, "Well, I stole it. It's mine. If you want it, come steal it back" she told him and kept running for the hotsprings

Jaune ran after her and stopped to catch his breath, "Emerald! Oum's name! Emerald!" Jaune yelled and ran back after her

Emerald stopped in her tracks and Jaune caught up with her, He stopped when he saw her. "Is Martain right? Are you still a Blue-Back? It's time you proved yourself" she told Jaune and She takes off her shoes and then her cloak

Jaune looked at her with confusion, "Emerald what are-?"

"You swore some vows. To the Queen, I want you to break 'em. I want you to see me" she said. She then removes her jacket and shirt and then her pants. revealing herself, nude. "All of me"

Jaune looked at her, Emerald began to walk to Jaune. Emerald tried to kiss him but Jaune stopped her

"We shouldn't... Emerald you don't want this" he told her

Emerald didn't listen to him and kisses him. He resists her at first, but he cannot fight his feelings. They embrace and passionately kiss. He kisses her neck, her breasts and continues downward.

"Why are you still dressed?" she asked Jaune "You-" but then Jaune picked her up and kissed her again...
