The Ripper's Redemption

Hello All this is the first story I'm putting on here! I was inspired by TheHumanoidTyrant to write this version of his Ripper story. If you haven't read it go read it it's really good! I do not own RWBY, Assasins creed, or Fallout 4 enjoy!

'Kill'

'Murder'

'Rip them all!'

'YOU ARE JACK!'

Jaune Arc clasped his head to force the voices back in their box. "No I'm not shut up!" He whispered quietly so all the people in the…well the only two people in the store would thisn't think he was crazy. The only two people inside 'From Dust Till Dawn' was the old clerk behind the counter and a hooded girl reading a weapons magazine with headphones on. This relieved him as only one person would have heard him, but he didn't seem like he was all there so he probably wouldn't have remembered. Jaune had a secret, a secret that he wish he didn't have. He didn't ask to not be normal, he really wished he could enjoy doing normal things a normal kid his age would do. One of those things was reading X-Ray and Vav! Jaune actually found them amusing and the nice old clerk had a rack of them and Jaune was reading his third one. He heard the bell ring to signal someone else was coming in but paid it no mind until, "Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a dust shop this late at night?" A male voice said with the sound of guns clicking. Jaune turns his head slightly to see out of the corner of his eye to see several black suited dudes with red ties and black hats with an orange haired man with a black bowler hat and a cream colored coat carrying a cane. 'Well isn't this just fan-fucking-tastic.' Jaune thought. "Please, just take my lien and leave!" The nice clerk pleaded. "Shh-sh-sh calm down we're not here for your money, grab the dust!" Cane man said to his goons. Jaune put his hood up so nobody would see him when things got ugly. He then slowly reached for Cherri, his knife but then stopped. 'They may deserve it but if I kill again...I don't think I'll be able to stop.' So he decided to settle for hand to hand which would lessen his chance of killing them...slightly. "Put your hands in the air!" A goon said to Jaune with a cute little gun leveled at him. "Put that toy down little man, you're gonna hurt yourself" Jaune said calmly without even turning around. 'Wound, don't kill, wound, don't kill, wound, don't kill' Jaune repeatedly said in his head. "This isn't a ga-!" With blinding speed Jaune spun around and uppercutted the goon so hard he was hanging by his head through a hole in the ceiling, with all his top teeth broken, all top teeth! Ruby, being unaware of what was going on because she was listening to music, heard that and turned around to see a guy in an all black hoodie, blue jeans, and white and black sneakers with his fist up and a body through a ceiling. "Is this a, robbery?" Ruby asked herself. She was then answered when identically dressed men came at the hooded guy. One goon raised his sword at Jaune for an overhead chop, only for Jaune to grab the man's wrist and crush it, sword falling out of his hand and the goon falling to his knees with Jaune still holding his wrist. Jaune then lets go and kicks the man out of the window. Jaune and Ruby both leap out of the window standing next to each other. Ruby activates her scythe "nice moves!" She said but not being able to see the guy under the hood. "Thanks, nice...farming tool." Jaune says without looking at her "Hey!" She complained. "Okay...well, get them!" Cane man said to the rest of the goons. "Mind taking them? I wanna make sure that man is alright" Jaune asked. While it was true he did want to check on the man, the real reason for not wanting to fight was because he didn't want to risk losing control and become him again. "Got it!" Ruby said and Jaune dashed through the charging goons with unbelievable speed and leapt over the counter and found the man cowering under the

cabinet. Jaune gently laid his hand on his back, "are you injured?" Jaune asked. The man looks up at him "No thank you so much young man!" He said. "Well you were every cent, truly you were." Cane man muttered from just outside the shop. "Stay here I'll take care of this." Jaune said and received a nod in return. Jaune leaps back over the counter and cane man just fired a shot from his cane at Ruby and when the smoke cleared, he was gone. Jaune looked around and saw the guy climbing a ladder. "I'll meet you up there." Jaune said as he focused on a shadow on top of the building and vanished in a black blur much to Ruby's shock. "Woah!" She said and then ran after cane man. Jaune appeared out of the shadow on top of the building and hid behind a brick wall to catch him by surprise. He heard running getting closer and closer. Jaune then leapt out and punched cane man square in the jaw followed by repeatedly quick jabs in the stomach to keep him from reacting. *hack!* cane man coughed blood and it splattered all over Jaune's face. Jaune then stopped immediately and, slowly he ran his finger down his chin to scoop some of it. He looked at the beautiful, red, metallic substance, the same substance he drew from so many others before. His vision started vibrating, and he knew all too well it meant the voices were about to speak.

'Draw more'

'Kill him'

'Take your knife'

'Rip him apart!'

'KILL HIM!'

He wanted to, he wanted to kill just one more time, to remember how it felt…'No! I can't! I spent too much time trying to repress these urges I have to-" *WHAM!* cane man used Jaune's hesitance as an opportunity to slam his cane on the side of his face. "Agh!" Jaune went flying into the side of the wall head first. Cane man didn't waist time trying to kill Jaune and while clutching his stomach, ran to the edge of the roof. Ruby finally got up to the roof and leveled her scythe at cane man. "Persistent" he muttered under his breath. Suddenly a Bullhead appeared in front of cane man with a light shining in Ruby's eyes. Cane man hopped on and took out a red dust crystal. "End of the line red!" He shouted as he threw the crystal at her feet and shot it. Ruby shielded herself with her scythe then suddenly a blond women dashed in front of her and created a purple glyph in front of her to shield themselves from the explosion."Whoo-hoo-hoo!" Cane man shouted until the dust cleared and he saw them. The women then shot out purple beams at the bullhead which caused it to shake but no other damage. Jaune's vision was clearing, and could make out a blonde women with the hooded girl fighting a bullhead. Jaune focused his aura to clear his vision and get himself back on his feet. He was thankful for his large aura reserves, it allowed him to use his semblance for a longer time and could heal a lot faster. There's a reason he's...or rather was the second most terrifying serial killer in all of Remnant. He stood up and brought out Cherri and charged it with his shadow, he then leapt next to the huntresses, and slashed his Knife in a horizontal slice sending an arc of darkness at the bull head. Unfortunently, this only managed to shake the bullhead, whatever it was made of was definitely not easy to crack. Over the hum of the bullhead Jaune could hear the faint sound of heels clicking with the source of it being a woman in a red dress with her head concealed in shadow but her eyes glowing bright orange. The woman's hand began emitting Fire and then shot it at the three fighters, only for the blonde to telekinetically pull Jaune behind her and shield them in a glyph. Jaune then makes a giant claw out of darkness and grabs the bullhead. He begins to pull it but the the woman makes an explosive wave of fire and Jaune couldn't keep the claw together because of the hit he took so the claw dissolved. The bullhead then flew off. Finally able to relax, Jaune slumped to his knees holding his head trying to dull the headache. "Are you alright sir?" The woman asks Jaune and he stands up. "Yeah, just took an unexpected blow to the head before you two got here." Jaune said with his face still concealed by his hood. "Sir if you would allow me to check to make sure you're okay?" She asks him and he complies and takes off his hood revealing himself to be a teenager, evidently shocking the woman. She then looks around his face to look for injuries. "Well?" He asks her. "It looks like your aura took care of any injur-" "THAT WAS SO COOL!" A squeal interrupted the dual blondes. "Real life hunters! Can I have your autographs!?" The girl asked earning a raised eyebrow from Jaune

Interrogation room: one hour later...

Jaune sat at the table and waited for whatever the blonde woman wanted with him. She said someone wanted to meet with him. He wondered if this person knew about him and was going to bring him to justice. The thought didn't scare him, he would accept his rightfully deserved punishment with dignity and hopefully, maybe...see them again. He considered it at first but he wouldn't resort to suicide, it was the easy way out. The people deserve to carry out justice on him. That is of course if they find out, turning himself in is the equivalent of suicide, he would live with the guilt for the rest of his life until caught. The door opens and at the door is a tall man with silver hair and light brown eyes. He had a black and green suit and was wearing spectacles. His expression was completely neutral but Jaune knew that look, that look was one of intelligence, of knowledge. This man has seen things, he was a challenge, Jaune liked challenges, they always distracted him. "Hello young man, my name is Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon academy. Might I know who you are?" The man asked. "Jaune Arc" Jaune said and Ozpin raised an eyebrow "Arc? If I recall correctly all of the Arcs...were killed" Jaune winced at the memory of hiding in a closet and...all that blood. "The killers missed one." Jaune said bitterly. "I am truly sorry for your loss." Ozpin said but Jaune just wanted to get to the point of why he was here. "Enough small talk, the woman said you wanted to meet me for a reason, what is it?" Jaune said coldly. Ozpin's eyes narrowed "I know who you really are, 'Jack The Ripper'." Ozpin kept his stoic gaze on Jaune. That was it! It was finally over!, Jaune was happy that his existence in this world was about to come to an end. Jaune simply closed his eyes and smiled. "Well then, it's finally over. I'll accept my death without a fight." Jaune said making his peace with it. So one can only imagine his surprise when Ozpin said "I'm not going to do anything to you Mr. Arc." Jaune's eyes opened, his mouth agape. "If-if you're not going to do anything then why bother bringing me here?" Ozpin simply smiled. "Tell me something Mr. Arc, when that man held a gun to you, you could have killed him in self defense with no repercussions for it. As a matter of fact you didn't kill a single person in that scuffle. Tell me why you went from brutally murdering huntsmen, to not even killing in self defense?" Jaune's eyes were on the table. "Not only did I like killing, I needed to kill." Jaune then looked right into Ozpin's eyes. "After I saw my family…, something inside me felt empty, at first I thought it was vengeance, but after I trained and achieved it, the need was still there. It was only satisfied when I killed but it never lasted. When I saw what I was, what I really was and learned that this need was never going to go away, I learned to suppress it and live with it. I didn't kill those men because I know that if I kill just even one person, I risk becoming a monster again." Although Ozpin didn't show it, he pitied the boy. He never asked for this and he's putting all this effort from murdering innocents again. Mr. Arc said that 'the need' would never go away, but perhaps he could channel it and use it in the everlasting fight against the Grimm. "Mr. Arc" Ozpin started "have you ever tried to focus your 'need' on the creatures of Grimm?" Ozpin asked and Jaune simply snorts in response and pulls out Cherri. "I was taught to use this to kill people, not Grimm. So no, I don't have a lot of experience with them." Jaune says putting Cherri away. Ozpin then smirks "Well, my school is designed to help with that." Jaune widened his eyes knowing where Ozpin was going with this. "You want me, ME, a retired serial killer to enter your school?" Jaune asks in disbelief. "Key word being 'retired' Mr. Arc" Ozpin said retaining his amused smirk. "What if you could achieve true redemption for all you've done, I'm the only one who knows your little secret and I shall keep it that way, you have the chance to do true good in the world, I believe you can find peace in the process as well." Jaune didn't know how Ozpin found out and he didn't want to, he had the chance to use his talents for the protection of the people and not the destruction of them. "So headmaster when do I start?"
