Three Way Fight of Bitter Rivals
"(I swear, if she's a stick in the mud then I'm leaving.)" Jotaro thought promised while following Ruby and Weiss who went up to Winter, her older sister. Hopefully this woman better not get on his bad side or else.
"Winter!" Weiss called out as she runs up to her, getting Winter's attention after talking to a Atlas robot guard.
"Winter! I'm so happy to see you! Oh... Your presence honors us." Weiss quickly greeted properly with a curtsy.
"Beacon... It's been a long time. The air feels... different." Winter commented as she approached Weiss and looks at the school.
"I mean it is fall, so, eh, it's probably colder." Ruby pointed out and got a punch in the arm by Weiss.
"Smooth." Jotaro commented with a deadpan expression.
"So, what are you doing here?" Weiss asked.
"Classified." Winter answered.
"Oh, right. Well, how long are you staying?" Weiss asked another question.
"Classified." Winter repeated the same answer. Yup, this was really annoying Jotaro that he wanted to leave right now, but Ruby grabs his arm to keep him from leaving.
"Of course." Weiss nodded.
"(Seriously? Is Weiss really okay that she isn't getting a straight answer from this bitch?)" Jotaro thought was shocked with how cool Weiss is right now, guess that just how the Schnee sisters are with each other growing up together.
"Well... this is nice... I think." Ruby was confused by how Winter just answered Weiss' question with the same word.
"You're going to love it here! I know you travel a lot, but so much of Beacon is different from Atlas! Vale, too. The government and school are completely separate! Can you believe it!? I—" Weiss tried to offer a tour to her sister, but she cuts her off.
"I'm more than familiar with how this kingdom handles its... bureaucracy. That is not why I came." Winter said.
"Right! I'm sorry!" Weiss apologized.
"Nor did I come here to watch my own blood fail so miserably in battle. But it appears that I have no choice in the matter." Winter said with a disapproval look in her eyes.
"But we won!" Weiss puzzled from the reaction.
"Only a novice would refer to that as a victory. I counted at least three strikes missed." Winter scolded.
"I'll admit, even I thought it was a little cringe for you to pull that off." Jotaro commented.
"Umm, I was doing my best and you know it." Weiss pointed out to Jotaro.
"Leave us." Winter ordered the Atlas robots, and they leave her and the three students of Beacon alone.
"How have you been?" Winter asked in a softer tone with a smile at her little sister.
"Oh, splendid! Thank you for asking. I'm actually in the very top ranking of our sparring class! And the rest of my studies are going wonderfully, too! I'm—" Weiss was explaining her days only to get karate chopped on the head by Winter making a large lump on Weiss' head.
"Silence, you boob! I don't recall asking about your ranking, I'm asking how you've been. Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Are you making new friends?" Winter clarified on what she was asking.
"Well, there's Ruby. Then there's Jotaro who's here for some reason." Weiss gestured to the two.
"Would you believe me if I told you that I was curious?" Jotaro shrugged, now he wishes he didn't come here.
"Heh, boob." Ruby giggled while pushing the lump back into Weiss' head.
"I see. So, this is the leader you wrote of. How appropriately... underwhelming." Winter commented, though does raise some questions about this girl.
"Uh… thank you." Ruby felt a little confused if that was supposed to be a compliment or something else.
"Greetings, Ruby Rose. I wish to thank you for taking an interest in my sister." Winter greeted respectfully.
"Oh! Uh, yes, of course! The honor is in my... court!" Ruby tried to salute and curtsy at the same time, messing up a little.
"And you, Jotaro Kujo, I heard… things about you from the General. He told me of you being headstrong and collective but doesn't show much respect to others unless earned, not to mention being rough when things that make you angry." Winter mentioned.
"Only when it comes to any bastards that pisses me off, then they get it." Jotaro said with a very stern look.
"(He's serious, and yet this doesn't feel like anything a delinquent would be like when causing trouble for others.)" Winter thought was surprised of Jotaro being kind in his own way.
Winter learns more about Jotaro should she has the time to stay here for a little bit longer, but she mostly wants to spend time with Weiss after her meet with General Ironwood and Headmaster Ozpin about something that brought her here.
"I have business with the General and your Headmaster. But, seeing as I'm early, why don't you take me to your quarters?" Winter asked Weiss to go see her team's room.
"Really?" Weiss was surprised with a smile.
"Yes. I wish to inspect them and make sure that they are up to my personal standards." Winter nodded.
"Of course. Just so you're aware, the bunk beds only look unstable." Weiss warned as they start walking together.
"Bunk beds?" Winter was puzzled by this.
"I'll catch up- I mean, I will... reconvene with you both... at a later... juncture! At a juncture. Yeah." Ruby tried failing at speaking properly fancy for goodbye.
"At least she didn't piss me off." Jotaro commented, but then he caught a little scent in the air with his nose that he couldn't help but notice.
One Atlas robot guard is patrolling around the courtyard detecting no danger in the area until it was attack by a certain someone who is dizzy and beats up the robot and then kicks its head rolling to the Schnee sisters.
"The fuck?" Jotaro was confused by what just happened.
"Hey!" A guy called out, this causes Winter to stop and turn around.
"Yeah, I'm talking to you, Ice Queen!" The drunken guy glared at the older Schnee. Revealing to be the same guy from the bar.
Winter's robotic soldiers were about to approach the man that has just destroyed one of their own, but Winter halted their advancement fully aware that his man is stronger than he looks and would end up destroying them as well.
"Excuse me! Do you have any idea who you are talking to!?" Weiss asked angrily as she got closer to the man in a few inches, but his hand got on her face.
"Sssshhh. Not you." The man shushed the younger girl Schnee and pushed her away.
"You." The man said to Winter with a glare.
A black crow is seen sitting on one of the tall light poles and it flew off flying above a serious moment between the new man that has arrive on Beacon and Winter.
"Saw that gaudy ship of yours in town. I guess you're here, too." The man said sarcastically.
"I'm standing right before you." Winter stated.
"So, it would seem." The man said after squirting his eyes for a second or two at the white hair young woman.
"You realize you just destroyed Atlas Military property." Winter said, looking down at the beheaded Atlas robot.
"Oh, oh I'm sorry. See, I mistook this for some sort of... sentient garbage." The man said sarcastically and then change into a mocking tone.
"I don't have time for your immature games, Qrow." Winter said, revealing that she does know this man.
"Wait, you two know each other?" Weiss asked in surprise.
"Geez, you Atlas Specialists think you're so special, don't you?" The man named Qrow asked sarcastically.
Qrow is an older man with graying black, spiky hair, faded red eyes, and slight stubble along his jawline. Along with a red, tattered cloak, he wears a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants and black dress shoes. He also wears a ring on his right index finger, two other rings on his right ring finger and a necklace with a crooked cross-shaped pendant. Qrow's bangs are down, and his hair is made to look like it is composed entirely of feathers.
"(Huh, that guy almost reminds me of Ruby or Yang for some reason.)" Jotaro thought looked at the man's face.
"It's in the title." Winter pointed out.
"Well, you know what you really are? A bunch of sellouts. Just like your boss." Qrow said with an angry glare.
"I'm not sure what you think you're implying, but I've heard enough." Winter glared, hating this man the more she hears him talk.
"Oh, I heard, too. I heard ol' Ironwood finally turned his back on Ozpin." Qrow mentioned with a little hatred in his eyes.
"Ozpin?" Weiss wondered how this man knows the headmaster of Beacon.
"Weiss, it's time for you to go." Winter shoved Weiss to the side much to her shock.
"Listen to big sister, Weiss. She'll protect you. Just like Atlas is going to protect all of us, huh?" Qrow said, his tone and smirk showing that he is making fun of Atlas right now.
This isn't setting well with Winter as she could not stand how this man keeps on mocking the pride of Atlas, she knows that this man has connection to Ozpin but right now, she just wants to teach him a lesson.
"If you won't hold your tongue, then I will gladly remove it for you!" Winter drew her sword and pointed it at the ridiculous old Huntsman.
"Okay, I think you two being ridiculous with this. If you're going to fight, then I'll take both of you on!" Jotaro stepped in between the two.
"Young man, it's best for you to stay out of this or else I may have to arrest you for interfering with Atlas business." Winter warned.
"Not a chance." Jotaro cracked his knuckles as he looks at Qrow.
"Another thing I hate besides uptight bitches are the idiots who think drinking their problems away can make things better, but they're just making themselves sad even more." Jotaro stated at Qrow.
"Oh, if you don't like the kind of man I am, then you better do something about it." Qrow taunted with a grin.
"I intend to." Jotaro said as he gets into a fighting stance.
Jotaro, Qrow, and Winter glare at each other as the air around them feels intense for those who are watching this, none of them move for a moment until Winter and Qrow moved at the same time going at each other and Jotaro.
(Music: Yasha Theme Song, Asura's Wrath)
Jotaro ready himself and blocked both blades with each hand then push them back a little though Winter attacks again faster, swinging her sword to slash only for Jotaro to block and goes for a counterattack that forces her on the defense.
Qrow comes back with an upper clash that Jotaro was able to deflect it away from his head and tries to throw a kick, but Qrow blocks it and push the foot down that somehow slipped causing him to go down for the older man to attack that he barely dodge.
Winter jumps in slashing at the serious-drunken man who blocks and started clashing blades against her, the two seems to be even with their skills and such.
"No you don't!" Jotaro dashed back into the fray.
Jotaro jumps at Qrow forcing him to turn his attention to the kid blocking his strong push that almost pushes him down on one knee, but Qrow threw him off though not for long as he strikes again and Winter comes in creating a three-way clash between the three warriors.
"(These two definitely have the skills and power to make themselves Huntsman and special soldier, this is almost hard for me!)" Jotaro thought commended on how well they're doing.
But he wouldn't let that stop them from putting these idiots in their places.
"What's going on?" Ruby asked Weiss after getting through the crowd that appeared to have gathered for something.
"Some crazy guy just started attacking my sister! And Jotaro is fighting both of them!" Weiss answered.
"Oh no! Who would do such a th-That is my uncle!" Ruby shouted in awe to see that the man fighting Winter is her uncle.
"What?" Weiss was shocked to hear some old guy who just challenged her big sister turns out to be a relative of Ruby and likely Yang as well.
"Kick their butts, Uncle Qrow!" Ruby cheered for her uncle believing him to be the best Huntsman in the world.
"Teach them respect, Winter!" Weiss cheered too, hoping her big sister wins.
Jotaro fends off both Qrow and Winter well to counter their moves for a while until they both jump at the same time to strike him down, but Jotaro decided to get serious about this fight by bringing out Star Platinum to grab both swords shocking the two seasoned warriors before being tossed down on the ground.
"Feel like giving up?" Jotaro asked.
"Never!" Winter refused to back down from this fight.
"I'm just getting started." Qrow smirked excitedly.
Jotaro strikes at Winter throwing some strong punches that she parries and defends, but then Star Platinum came out throwing even faster and stronger attacks that Winter was not prepared for as she was sent flying to a pillar.
Then he goes after Qrow who jumps away and tries shooting at Jotaro with bullets from his sword into gun-mode, but Star Platinum punch the bullets away and grab his leg to toss him away.
But Jotaro wasn't finish yet as he uses his gloves to unleash give Star Platinum some flaming fists and go after Qrow, the two clashes again though Qrow is having a harder time fighting this weird ghost Semblance that almost singed his hair. Then just when Star Platinum was about to land a punch on his head, the gun barrel went off on its own to force the sword to deflect the punch.
"(Weird, that felt like it was something else.)" Jotaro thought noticed something a little off while focusing on the fight.
Qrow went back down the ground level with Jotaro right behind him, and Winter sends a flock of mini white Nevermores getting Qrow to slash the incoming ones and Jotaro does the same with Star Platinum easily punching all of them down.
Qrow tries to attack Jotaro while his guard was down, but Jotaro saw him coming and jumping down close to Winter with the rusty old Qrow right behind him.
Jotaro has Star Platinum throw a punch that she manages to block and pushes him off though it took a lot of strength to do so, but then Qrow started attacking him that Jotaro and his Stand started fighting back-to-back for a while.
"I think it's about time we end this." Jotaro said.
"Star Platinum: The World!" Jotaro froze time, then he moves out of the way with Star Platinum grabbing Winter to swing her at Qrow, then he goes "ORAORAORA!" on them before throwing one last punch.
"Now time flows again." Jotaro said, time flows again and the two are sent flying with lots of pain on their bodies.
(Music End)
"…I think he punched my lunch out." Qrow groaned.
"Well, he's about to lose his lunch when I"
"SCHNEE!"
Winter stopped her threat and attempted approach when she heard that shout, she turns around to see Ironwood with Penny behind him and other Atlas soldiers.
"General Ironwood, sir!" Winter stood in attention to her superior.
"What in the world do you think you're doing?" Ironwood asked as he approached Winter.
"He started the altercation, sir! And he tried to foolish by fighting both of us at once!" Winter reported, pointing at Qrow and Jotaro.
"That's actually half true. Both me and her attacked first and the kid, wow, he beat us." Qrow chuckled, and wince when the pain on his body kicks in again.
"Is that right?" Ironwood asked. Winter tried to say it was Qrow's fault, but she soon realized that Qrow is right and hated herself for allowing this man to get her like that.
"And you. What are you doing here?" Ironwood asked Qrow.
"I could be asking you the same thing." Qrow talked back.
"Now, now, everyone. There is a sanctioned fight happening just around the corner at the Colosseum, that I can assure you has better seats... and popcorn." Ozpin said to the crowd as he and Glynda came in to intervene.
"Break it up, everyone! We will take care of this mess." Glynda ordered. The crowd soon scatter to go back to what they were doing before.
"Let's go." Ironwood ordered with Winter to follow without any arguments, but she still felt a little angry at Qrow.
Penny follows Ironwood as well, but not before turning around to wave at Ruby with a smile, the very first best friend of Penny waves back at her as she hopes to hang out with her soon.
"Yare yare daze, I'm too old for this." Jotaro sighed, feeling like he had just stopped a fight between two kids in elementary school.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Jotaro stepped in when Qrow and Winter were about to have their fight with each other making this a battle with one trying to stop two of them, and it's a good thing that Jotaro still has the adult mind with the experience and Star Platinum to fight them off before getting in trouble with Ironwood.
