The Jaune Multiverse

50: Jaune Rex 1

Qrow: hah my kind of guy.

Winter: of course, loud and obnoxious.

Jaune: You think I don't have what it takes?

Vandham: Nah, I mean... Maybe you could handle a normal Blade.
But a greenhorn like you with a beaut like her? Don't kid yourself.
C'mon boy. Hand her over to a grown-up.

Jaune: This crap is getting old.
Leave her alone!

Vandham: Y'got heart, kid. I like that.
Yew, Zuo, you take care of the others. I wanna squash the kid.

Yew: Heheh. Leave it to us, boss.

Zuo: We'll take real good care of 'em.

Vandham: What's the matter? Are you the Aegis or aren't ya?!

Pyra went in to shield Jaune

Pyra: Huh? Something feels different...

This man, he's...

Vandham: That all ya got, mate? Pathetic.

Rex: We'll show you! We'll show you what me and Pyra are made of!
He dodged?!

Vandham: Course I did, kid. Any slower, you'd bore me to death.

Mercury: Burn!

Qrow: *whistle*

Tai: man it's like a big and burly Qrow.

Amber: if the snark is any indicator.

Jaune: How about this then?

Vandham: Hmph.

Pyra: Rex, wait! I can't supply power this fast!

Jaune: Nowhere left to run! Eat this!
Uh?

He raised his sword but the flame went out

Clover: rookie mistake.

Harriet: we all went through that phase.

Vandham: Playtime's over. Take this!

Jaune: Ah!

Vandham: Hah! If you're a Driver, you're a new one for sure.
Drivers, see. We borrow our Blades' energy... channel it into our weapons...
And let rip with an Art! But you gotta be careful - there's a limit to it.
If you go in all bull-headed like that, kid, even that Aegis of yours...
is gonna run out of energy before long.

Jaune: W-what...?

Nia: H-huh?

Vandham: The name's Vandham.
I run a little firm out of the nearby village.

Jaune: A..."firm"?

Qrow: like Hired guns.

Ironwood: mercenaries?

Spectre: kind of.

Vandham: Come on! I'll treat you to some grub as thanks for letting me take a whack at the legendary Aegis!
Bwahahahaha!

Pyra: Just then... I realized while we were fighting...
I sensed from the very start that he didn't mean us any real harm.

Jaune: Hm, he sure is a strange old goat, that one...

Vandham: Helluva story.
So you headed to the World Tree to reach Elysium, but got swallowed up whole instead?
You got some crazy luck.
