Previously on Jaune's Family Affairs:
"I can only do one massage today or else my fingers will cramp up.” Jaune offers calmly, trying to defuse the situation by making the offer open to everyone.
“Listen, I’m gonna clean up the table and you girls are all gonna talk it out silently between all of you.” Jaune says calmly as he starts to adopt a more light-hearted tone.
As befitting of fit and active huntresses-in-training, all girls unanimously decide on one way to solve their conundrum. Sparring. How can sparring solve a problem between 5 huntresses-in-training you ask? Easy. Battle Royale. Last One Standing wins.

Chapter 2: War of the Waifus
Chaos.
The uncontrolled disorder and confusion of the universe.
That is what is currently happening to Team JNPR's backyard right now.
Four years of learning and training in Beacon will take anyone's skills to new heights. What does that look like for five gifted huntresses?
Well, it looks like this.
The one with the most growth by virtue of going through puberty is Ruby Rose. Now 18 and turning 19 years old, she has grown up enough that she isn't being carried around by her scythe anymore. Her curves and muscles have developed enough that she now has complete control of her weapon, able to wield it in confusing ways against her unsuspecting enemies.
Though that isn't the only one that changed with her.
“Ha! You can’t catch me!” A very cute voice sounds out from multiple sources as the caller teleports from one place to another in quick succession.
Ruby Rose’s Semblance, Petal Burst, has transformed from a quick speed Semblance to one of short-range teleportation.
The Rose uses this ability of hers to great effect as she avoids any attack aimed at her.
“That’s it! Since we’re using Semblances anyway, take this!” Her partner, Weiss Schnee cries out as she stabs her sword, Myrtenaster, into the ground.
Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, improved her knowledge on the use of Dust and its application to the Huntsman life. While her physicality did not soar as high as others’ as to augment her physical skills, she uses her Semblance skillfully to close the gap in terms of combat ability.
As a glyph forms in front of her, a familiar figure made up of Dust and Aura appears. Ruby Rose, cloned perfectly to every minute detail, opens her eyes and chases after the original version with equal speed. Weiss Schnee’s creation, formed from the use of her Semblance and her very own knowledge of her partner’s fighting style, manages to corner Ruby Rose.
Before it could land a devastating blow however, figures made up of shadows interfere and sweep the feet off of both Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose.
“Oof!” Ruby Rose cries out before exploding into a burst of petals that teleports to another corner of the yard.
“Did you really have to do that?” Weiss complains, using her hand to twirl herself gracefully back onto her feet.
“Of course, you were distracted.” Blake Belladonna smirks playfully from behind five clones of her own before sweeping her hand forward as a signal. “Now on your guard!”
Five shadowy figures of Blake charge onward to both Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose who manage to hold their own. Still, clone or not, Blake’s Semblance still imbues these figures with the skill of the original.
Grunts, squeals, and gasp sound out as they fight before the sound of fire rushing towards them pauses the fight.
WHOOOSH!
Yellow fire burns bright and air crackles with heat yet none of them are harmed. Yang Xiao Long has entered the fray. Blond hair burning bright and red eyes full of fire looks at its main adversary.
“This is just not fair, you know. I can’t really hurt any of you with my Semblance.” Yang pouts as he crosses her arms in front of her after exchanging a series of clashes with Pyrrha.
Despite her Semblance evolving to be able to burn her enemies within a certain area around her, she just cannot label any of her opponents right now as an enemy.
“Sorry!” Pyrrha Nikos shouts apologetically, four years have past and yet everyone still knows she’s just as kind as before.
Yang chuckles goodnaturedly before putting her hands up in a stance.
“Nah, it’s fine, P-money. Just don’t pull any of our weapons and we are good.”
“Of course. I could do that.” Pyrrha says and she sticks to her word not to pull any of their weapons away from their hands.
Even without doing that however, Pyrrha Nikos was a force to be reckoned with. Her Semblance, Polarity, able to originally allow her command of magnetism has evolved into letting her be capable manipulating the shape of any metal she desires.
It is child’s play for her to choose to use this in such a way to turn her accessories into additional swords and shields. Her tiara lengthens and eventually turns into another spear floating above her. She could choose to change her earrings and grieves but she feels that would just be overkill for this fight.
As expected however, Team RWBY does not take this show lying down. Smiling wryly to each other, all of them choose to do what comes best to them. Teamwork. Ruby, Weiss, and Blake choose to abandon their own fight to stand beside Yang against what has always been obviously their strongest competition.
“Ah, I believe warmup is over now?” Pyrrha asks gracefully, turning her shield into a circular platform beneath her feet and manipulating it to float.
“Show off.” Yang rolls her eyes even as Blake bumps her playfully.
“Come on! Let’s get this started!” Ruby shouts excitedly, raising Crescent Rose upwards in her excitement.
“Yes, I suppose we have already sufficiently warmed up. Rules?” Weiss calls out, brandishing Myrtenaster as she flicks her hair back.
“None but put your enemies in red and be the last one standing. We are still after all fighting for that massage.” Pyrrha replies, smirking to herself at the sudden reminder of what they are fighting for.
Team RWBY might not fall to infighting but them already giving side eyes to each other is sufficient enough distraction for Pyrrha. She charges in, wide eyes and feral grin obvious on her face. She sees Team RWBY flinch back for a moment at the sudden start but they aren’t 4th years for nothing.
Just as Team RWBY was moving to surround Pyrrha however, something whistles through the sky. The world freezes as all the five huntresses look at each other with wide eyes before a bright light crashes right in the middle of them.
CRASH!
The world shakes as the impact throws dirt and sand all around it. Each huntress does their best to weather the force of the impact as dust rises around them. Pyrrha manages to manipulate the metal around her into cover. Ruby teleports up into the sky in a blink. Weiss wasn’t able to summon something but she manges to use Ice Dust to make an impromptu cover. Blake uses her clones to brace herself. Yang just crosses her arms and stands ahead bravely, burning pieces of dirt that threaten to hit her wonderful hair.
Eventually though, the world resumes as the dust settles.
Standing there in the middle of the crater is a figure wearing the finest armor with a greatsword that matches it in opulence stabbed into the ground.
“Cease and desist.” A heavy voice calls out and everyone sees blonde hair and blue eyes glancing towards each of them.
“What the hell is happening?!” Another voice however shouts towards them. This time from a much more familiar blonde hair and blue eyed person.
“Hello….son.”
“Dad?!”
