The Stories of Jaune Arc
Chapter 2 - Final Remnant
Welcome back for round two ladies and gentlemen!
The first universe is shown and by the request of 'HanKayona' who wanted a universe of the final fantasy series. And to be honest I love the series and just wanted to do it for nostalgia. And I thought the beginning of the game would be perfect for the start of this new story.
"Audience speaking"
"Universe speaking"
I only own the story series. RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum while Final Fantasy 15 belongs to Luminous Studio
A scroll swiftly appears in Isaac's hand as it was the first universe to be seen. Isaac unraveled the scroll slightly to see which universe it was. Seeing what it was he smiled and looked back to the students.
"You guys are going to like this one. Not too dramatic and not too intense" Pyrrah made a sigh of relief,
"Good, I was hoping we wouldn't see something horrible" the others nodded in agreement with her.
"Don't get your hopes up just yet" Isaac mumbled under his breath, before anyone could ask what he said he place the scroll into a cylinder container which closed once the scroll was inserted. Moments later the screen of the TV came to life and showed static for a moment until a noises began to be heard
"Huff… Huff" the sound of heavy breathing could be heard as a man in the shadows was slowly revealed to the audience. With closer inspection the man had long scraggly blonde hair with a small beard growing, he was surrounded in darkness with the light of small cinders dancing in the air, wiping sweat off his brow.
"There he is!" Ruby said with fascination, this new Jaune looked so cool! The others all looked with the same look of fascination at the blonde on the screen
"Man, gotta say, lover boy sure looks good in this universe. Looks more like a man now. What do you think p-money?" Yang asked the red head as she stared at Jaunes new look with a glint in her eye, never has she seen Jaune look so, dashing.
Yang's words barely fazed the red head, as Pyrrah had a massive blush on her face with her imagination going wild with her and this new Jaune in multiple romantic scenes with each other.
The camera slowly began to maneuver around Jaune aiming at what he was looking at. When the camera showed what he was looking at, the cinders in the air now all made sense.
"What"
"The"
"Crap!?" Ruby finished stopping Nora from finishing the sentence with the actual cures word. No swearing on her watch.
In front of Jaune was a large demon like figure sitting on a throne that was ablaze in a large thrown room which was engulfed in flames, the source being the figure on the throne.
'Jaune Lucis Caelum'
A small text bubble appeared on the screen, seemingly trying to show the identity of the new Jaune.
"Caelum? I thought Jaunes last name was Arc?" Ruby asked being confused with the new last name.
"Like I said, these will all be different versions of Jaune. Which also includes that Jaune may come from different families or even completely different beings entirely. Heck, some universes I've seen even had Jaune be closely related to one of you, it can be kind of weird." (Looking at you Jaune Branwen fans)
"I still don't know how I feel about watching all of this. Just doing this is giving me a weird feeling." Weiss said with a look of deep thinking.
"I'd normally make a joke about this but, Ice queen is kind of right, this does feel weird to me" Yang explained which was earned with a collective of nods and a single 'Hey!' from a white haired Schnee.
"ssssshhhhh! I'm trying to watch!" Isaac chastised the four girls, this was one of his favorites and didn't want anyone to ruin it
Two figures stood side by side with Jaune but were hard to see at first, they needed to stop this before things got out of hand. Jaune and the two other figures then charged straight at the demon, but were cut off when a shockwave of fire was emitted from the demon and pushed them all back.
Jaune's large cloak was engulfed in flames and threatened to burn him alive. In response Jaune began to roll on the ground desperately trying to snuff out the flames on him. One of the figure quickly ran up to him and helped him brush off the flames.
"No. Way" Yang said with her mouth open wide
"Sun?" Blake asked, and she was right, on the screen was there monkey faunus friend from Haven academy.
'Sun Argentum' another name label appeared and gave the new name of this version of Sun Wukong.
"Jaune! Hang in there buddy!" he yelled as the flames on Jaune were finally dashed out. Jaune tried to stand back up to begin fighting again but was stopped as Sun then started to push him down again,
"Stay down. We'll keep him busy."
And with that Sun made his leave, running back into the fight.
"Sun seems to be really close to Jaune in this universe." Ren analyzed as he saw Sun call Jaune 'buddy' and even ran into a fight trying to protect him.
"he kind of seems like a bodyguard if you ask me" said Ruby watching the fight play out but keeping a close eye on Jaune. Why did seeing this Jaune make her have a weird feeling in her chest?
Disobeying Suns orders Jaune stood back up and looked around the throne room looking for any of his other friends, the flames didn't help his sight as he had to squint to keep the ashes out of his eyes.
"Jaune! Over here!"
Hearing a voice call out his name Jaune turned to the voices source and say one of his others friends kneeling on the floor, the camera zoomed in on the person and showed Lie Ren in a nice fancy suit now covered in ash and dust with a pair of glasses as eyewear. His voice seemed to have matured into full masculinity with a little of a gentlemen's accent like a rich mans butler (I'm not good with similes)
'Ren Scientia'
"Oh. My. Oum! Renny! You're wearing glasses! Oh my Oum you look so handsome with them on, you should get some and wear them as you read! And that voice. Huba Huba." Nora ranted as seeing and hearing the new Ren sent her into a rush of words as she rubbed her thighs together.
'Perhaps I should look into getting new glasses after this. It would make reading better' Ren thought to himself trying to calm down the overactive Nora.
"Quickly! Before he attacks again!"
Not wanting to argue Jaune ran towards Ren and Sun as they themselves hid behind a large broken off slab of granite from the walls. The fire demon began to build up its power, wanting for another fire shockwave to finish them off.
When Jaune dove towards safety a large Asian man joined them by quickly grabbing Jaune and gave him cover as they made their way to safety, he had short black hair and large muscles were clearly shown through his tight jacket, leaving little to the imagination.
'Yatsuhashi Amicitia'
"Hey, check it out, it's Yatsuhashi!" Ruby pointed out as the new comer is seen as the tank of both team RWBY and JNPR's cousin team, CFVY.
"Huh, Mr. tall and silent is still huge as ever" Yang joked
Recently team CFVY had finally had their schedules cleaned from any missions lately and were able to interact with their cousin teams. At first it started out as Velvet being their friend when a certain 'accident' occurred which brought them together and soon enough her whole team came into the limelight. The extra free time helped with their team relations to grow.
As the four heroes were hiding the fire demon once again released a large sonic boom of fire, making the group of heroes huddle together to shield each other from the flames. When the flames died down they separated and jumped out from their cover and stared directly at their opponent.
"All right you guys. Lets take'em out, together!" Jaune yelled to his teammates. All together the four heroes charged towards their opponent, ready for the fight. But before the battle began the screen slowly faded to black.
"Hey! What the hell? Where's the battle?" yang asked disappointed that everything went black before any chaos was shown.
"Give it a second" Isaac stated and pointed towards the screen.
'Before the Calamity' a text appeared on screen
"Wait, what calamity?" Weiss was confused "They mean that big demon ,right?" she asked looking at Isaac, he merely shrugged. At this point, Weiss was very annoyed with Isaac and his lack of answers to everything.
The screen then showed a high view of a large city surrounded by large white walls of stone. The building within the city were well designed and seemed to be architecture of vale from a thousand years ago.
The next scene then showed a large castle of pure white marble. Within it an elderly figure was sighting in a throne, he hade sleek grey hair with a large beard to match his hair. In front of him were our four heroes, but they were younger than when they first appeared as they stood side by side.
"The time of the decree has come" the elderly man announced to the four, "set forth with my blessings, prince Jaune." Jaune bowed in respect towards who now is known to be the king.
"Fearless leader is a prince! He's royalty! Even more than you Weiss." Nora jumped up and down in front of the heiress.
"I-I can't believe it, Jaune I-is a-a-a prince. H-him of all people!" Weiss tried to process the new information but her brain refused to let it be true
"take your leave, and go, in the name of the Gods" the king finished
"Thank you, your majesty" and with that Jaune quickly turned around and rushed past Yatsuhashi, who then too bowed and left with Sun and Ren with him.
(outside)
"well, prince's will be prince's" Sun said to try and lighten the mood as the group walked down large stairs to a waiting car.
"So much for royal protocol" Ren sighed annoyed with how the kings behavior had changed.
"Your highness!" a voiced call out from behind them, looking back Jaune say his father walking down the stairs with a cane with one of his left hand guards.
'so that's what Jaune's father looks like. Noted.' Pyrrah thought to her self as she listed the information in her head to remember.
"What is it now?" Jaune asked with a heavy sigh and walked up to his father
"I'm afraid I had left out too much" his father explained "You'll be carrying a burden large enough for your friends to hold as well" he then looked to the three others behind Jaune.
"I do not wish for you to guide, my wayward son. Only to protect him when needed to be."
Ren bowed to him "Indeed. Your grace"
"We'll see the prince to Menagerie, if it's the last thing we do" Yatsu claimed standing firm.
"What he said" Sun replied.
"Menagerie?" Blake asked with wide eyes
"You know that place, Blake?" Pyrrah asked
Blake nodded "uh, yeah, it's where I was from" she said as she looked down at the floor in sadness, she still missed seeing her parents. It's been so long.
Jaune shook his head seeing hid fiends act this way, "Hate to brake this up, but Cal's got the motor running" Sun, Ren, and Yatsu made their leave and walked to the car. But Jaune stayed behind with his father
"And son. Please do mind your manners when your with your bride-to-be." Jaune's father pleaded.
"BRIDE TO BE!?" was everyone's reactions, mainly Blake who put the pieces together quickly and had a major blush on her face.
She wasn't the only one who put the pieces together.
"OH. MY. GOSH. BLAKE! YOUR MARRYING JAUNE!" Yang yelled as she tried to hold in the laughter, but failed as she loudly laughed while rolling on the floor. This made Blake blush even more and even earn the glares of Pyrrah, and for some reason the reaper of RWBY.
"Don't worry, I won't" Jaune rolled his eyes "And you be a good a host to our visitors from Mistral"
Jaune's father smiled "I won't as well" and with that Jaune joined his friends in the waiting car. The screen then turned black and the device that held the scroll popped open and the scroll flew out and went back to the library.
"Aaaaww, is it over all ready?" Nora asked seeing the story fly out of the room.
"I… guess so" Isaac replied. Strange, he was sure that they were supposed to see more than that. What the hell was Irene up to?
Weiss then took this as her chanced and made a loud "ahem" so everyone had her attention.
"Now that that's over, I have a few questions for you" she stared at Isaac intently.
He sighed, he knew they would want answers soon, "Alright, what do want to ask?"
Weiss held up a finger "One, why are we here? What is the purpose of our supposed kidnapping?" she asked. Isaac took his time thinking.
"Well most likely your seven are here now because of an up coming event in your history that will change everything. You guys aren't ready for it and neither are your friends."
His response did nothing but raise even more questions for every one.
Weiss held up a second finger, "Two, where is our friend, Jaune Arc?" Everyone now stared right at Isaac with dangerous glares warning him not to mess up.
Seeing this Isaac slowly backed away from everyone "Hold on, don't worry, he's most likely in a pocket dimension frozen in time until this all blows over. If he was here watching himself, the universe would most likely collapse. There can only be one of each person in a single universe. Never more than that."
"So, he's alright?" ruby asked.
Isaac nodded
Everyone made a sigh of relief knowing their friend was okay.
"Now, question three. You said there would be an big event in our history, what did you mean by that?"
"I-" but before Isaac could continue a portal opened up behind everyone and three bodies fell out of it.
"Ow! My ears."
"Ugh, that was quite unpleasant"
"Damn! Landed right in my crop."
Everyone turned around to see three familiar faces had joined them.
Velvet Scarletina of CFVY, Glynda Goodwitch, and Headmaster Ozpin.
"What the hell!?" Isaac asked himself and quickly opened his large tablet to find an unread message he did notice getting while watching.
'Be ready,
More watchers joining soon
-Irene'
Seeing the message Isaac could do nothing but mentally curse at Irene and watch the three new arrivals be helped up by the others.
"This is going to be difficult" he said to himself.
A/N:
