"Jaune Gets A Gun AU - Day 2"
WarHammer 40K - Bolter/Laspistol
Inspired by @howlingday's RU-JA-GUN-CON
Pyrrha was not happy as she followed behind Jaune, who was following behind Tiny Tina and Ruby. The pair of firearms aficionados (IE Gun Freaks) seem to have found common ground. The pair laughed and joked, remarking about weapons and military forces they had read about in their "Special" magazines.
Pyrrha: (Thinking) Ruby, you traitor! She's the enemy.
Pyrrha tried to refocus, to put her energy into finding a way to open herself up to Jaune. To take that next step. So lost in her own thoughts, she never noticed that Jaune had stopped walking. His eyes being drawn to a strangely placed display...
Pyrrha's face was crimson from embarrassment, and the fact that she was now nose to chest with her crush. His scent doing odd things to her...
Jaune: (Groaning) You okay, Pyr?
Pyrrha: (Sputtering) I'm sorry! I wasn't...
Ruby/Tiny Tina: Jaune! Are you okay?
Pyrrha: (Thinking) Oh so that's how it is!
Jaune: We're fine. I tripped up Pyr while I was distracted by... hey, where did that display go?
Tiny Tina: What display, J-Baby?
Jaune: The stack of Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes and Marshmallow Crunch? There was even the "Make Your Own Pumpkin Pete Mask" Halloween special box!
Ruby: Jaune?
Jaune: I'm serious! There was a whole display here featuring Pyrrha!
Tiny Tina: Say what now? Her face is on cereal boxes?
Pyrrha: (Ashamed) Yes, I'm sponsored by Pumpkin Pete... after my third Championship, they started putting my face on the boxes.
Tiny Tina: I see... so would you say you're like famous or something?
Pyrrha: You could say that...
????: Little Brother Jaune, are you alright?
Pyrrha/Tiny Tina/Ruby: Little Brother?
Ruby: (gasping) You said you only had sisters!
Tiny Tina: I KNOW you only have sisters! Who's the geriatric?
Jaune: (Totally ignoring everyone) Esteemed Brother Julius?
Julius: Aye. Good to see you again, little one. But I ask again, are you unharmed?
Jaune: Just a simple accident. No worries. We're perfectly fine.
Julius: Good. Now, what type of gentleman does not introduce his companions?
Jaune: Right! Introductions. Esteemed Brother Julius, these are my friends. Ruby Rose, Pyrrha Nikos, and Tiny Tina. Pyrrha and Ruby attend Beacon Academy with me. Tina is a childhood friend.
Julius: I greet you. May the God Emperor's blessings fall upon your shoulders, and his grace guide you in your journey through this life.
Tiny Tina/Ruby/Pyrrha: God, what now?
Julius: (Turning his entire attention to Jaune) So why do I find you amidst this chaos?
Jaune: My friends are helping me try and find a ranged option.
Julius: I see.
Jaune: Are you here alone? I only asked because last time you visited you had...
Heavy metallic sounds emanated from behind the small group. As one, they all turned...
Jaune: Venerable Grand Uncle Bob!
Ruby/Pyrrha: Say what now?
Tiny Tina: When did you get an Uncle J-Baby?
Uncle Bob: (Booming Voice) Little Brother Jaune, it has been a long time.
Jaune: At least ten years! How are you holding up?
Uncle Bob: I grow weary, but the enemies of the Imperium do not sleep, so neither shall I.
Ruby/Pyrrha: (Whispering to Tiny Tina) How did you NOT know he had an Uncle, especially one that looks like that?
Tiny Tina: (Whispering) I wasn't with him 24-7... though sharing his bed during sleep-overs was extra groovy...
Pyrrha/Ruby: What?
Tiny Tina: Plus my parents took me out on trips... a lot... so yeah I only know about his main family, yep like just them... no one else, nope, no one else.
Julius: So you are looking for a ranged option, I believe that is what you mentioned.
Jaune: Yeah. I'm mainly a melee combatant, but not all grimm come in close, so I need something...
Uncle Bob: To share the Emperor's Light to the heathens.
Pyrrha, Tiny Tina and Ruby just stayed out of the conversation, still trying to process everything they just found out, about their shared crush and love interest.
Jaune: You could say that. So why are you guys here? Every time Mom invited you to a family outing, you've been busy...
Julius: That is of no matter, Little Brother. What is your stated lack of a firearm. That will be rectified post-haste.
Jaune: Do you have suggestions on what I type of gun I should look for?
Uncle Bob: Little Brother Julius, it is time. He is of age.
Julius: Yes, as you wish, Venerable one.
Pyrrha/Ruby/Tiny Tina: What's going on?
Julius reaches behind his back and withdraws two items. Opening his massive gauntlet covered hands, he presents them to Jaune.
Jaune: No, this is TOO much. I can't.
Julius: Of course you can. This Bolter belonged to Venerable Grand Uncle Bob before his encasement ceremony. As did this, Laspistol. They are, by blood, rightfully yours.
Jaune: I understand that, and I'm so in awe that you guys would do this for me... but what you're forgetting is... MOM.
Julius: Oh, yeah... that.
Uncle Bob: I said I was sorry.
Jaune: Grand Uncle Bob... you crushed Mom's entire Ceramic Cat collection. The one she had been building since she was like five years old.
Uncle Bob: (Sounding Depressed) I said I was sorry, I still am. I just don't know how to make it up to her.
Julius: Little Brother Jaune... do you have any ideas?
Jaune: Helping her replace them wou...
Uncle Bob: A Gyrinx! No, a pride of them! She'll have to forgive me then!
Jaune: Brother Julius, what is Grand Uncle Bob talking about?
Julius: He's going to try and get your mother a xeno pet cat that will boost her psychic abilities, or by the sounds of it... several.
Pyrrha/Tiny Tina/Ruby: Say what now?
Jaune: That might work.
Julius: If we succeed, we will return, and if the God Emperor is benevolent we will have your mother's blessing, and you can receive your Grand uncle's weapons as he wishes.
Jaune: I'll be waiting.
The quartet watched Julius and Grand Uncle, Bob, move off. The milling crowd parting before them like water off the bow of a ship.
Ruby: Was that a Bolter combat rifle...
Tiny Tina: And a Laspistol?
Pyrrha: Grand Uncle?
Jaune: Yes those were a Bolter and a Laspistol, and yes Grand Uncle.
Pyrrha: is that anything like a Great Uncle?
Jaune: Sort of.
Pyrrha: How, sort of?
Jaune: About five generations, give or take.
Pyrrha: Excuse me?
Jaune: So, where to next, guys?
Tiny Tina/Ruby: (Almost in tears) He could have had a Bolter and a Laspistol... but mama Arc says no....
Pyrrha: Jaune, about this Grand Uncle...
Jaune: Guys where to next?
????/????: Hey kids. Over here! We know you wanna!
(So there's the Warhammer 40K addition. I know it's not exactly what was asked, for... but it is what flowed through my mind as I started to write it. Hope that doesn't upset anyone. Hope you enjoyed.)
Almost Forgot!
korben600 asked:
Consider for “Jaune Gets a Gun”, an old Astartes who landed on remnant tries to sell him a bolter.
Jaune settles for a laspistol since that is MUCH more his style.
Thank You for the suggestion/idea. @korben600

y’know, with the alliances we’ve been building up getting ready for final shape, I’m gonna be a little disappointed if our forces combined doesn’t result in a cabal frigate infused with sacred splicer tech to allow a guardian to thundercrash the whole thing straight into a pyramid with a cargo hold full of SIVA that Rasputin set to “~KICK ASS/CHEW GUM/RUN OUT OF GUM~” mode
Any crash mission whose purpose is to get Rasputin into the middle of the Pyramid fleet to raise hell is A+ Certified Good Stuff by me. Really just any situation that allows him to absolutely personally Start Some Shit. Everyone keeps breaking into his places! I want him to break into theirs.
I also want Rasputin to use a SIVA swarm to repair/modify the Dreadnaught just enough to take it into a fight with Leviathan.
Pros:
finally get to see SIVA do what it's supposed to do
SIVA/Warmind tech plated onto a Hive infrastructure would look amazing
Red finally gets to use everything he learned from fighting Xol
the parallels of the Dreadnaught being Oryx's throne and the King is not coming home but perhaps for now a Tyrant will do
(I am fascinated by the parallels between Rasputin and Oryx)
how do you fight a giant haunted derelict alien warship? with another giant haunted derelict alien warship! which is not a lot but it's weird that we have two.
because you know Rasputin wouldn’t tell anyone his plan in advance. They’d ask and he’d just be like "you won’t like it.”
and then their faces when the fucking DREADNAUGHT warps into the fight
their FACES!
Calus was not expecting that
neither was Zavala
I need it.
Cons:
absolutely none. Season 20 confirmed.
