(Vale)

Another Beam of light collided into a rooftop and out of the dust walked an armored man, covered head to toe in what seemed to be cybernetics and metal. Light's illuminated all over his body as he gazed across the familiar city.

"What the hell is this? I was at Mountain Glenn trying to stop a White Fang operation why am I back in Vale?!" The cyborg shook his head as he tapped the side of his helmet. His helmet came to life as data started streaming across his visor and a voice sprung to life.

"Hello, agent Sparrow, I thought you had me shut down for the operation?" The A.I. spoke as her face popped in a corner of the man's visor.

"The situation has changed Mercy. An unknown energy force teleported me back here. I need you to splice into all channels to find out if anything similar happened elsewhere."

"Give me a moment...I'm scanning the energy beam residue that took you here and...Got it. One hundred meters to the north there was an exact energy flair identical to the one that brought you here. There is another problem however, your cybernetics have taken some damage from the beam and you're only running at fifty percent maximum efficiency. I would advise resting while I run diagnostics to find the sources to the problems." the cyborg silently cursed at the sudden news before putting a thumb to his chin.

"We'll do it later. Thank you, Mercy. I'm heading there now to investigate." he replied as he hopped off the building.

'I have no idea what is going on, but hopefully, I can have my answers when I get to the other signature.' The cyborg thought as he jumped from rooftop to rooftop, moving with efficiency but not as well as he usually did. His movements were more sluggish and more lethargic than usual as he flipped onto another roof.

'Mercy wasn't wrong, I really did take some damage. I'll need to find a workshop after this to work on my armor and limbs later. I wonder if anyone at Beacon would be able to help.' the cyborg's train of thought was halted as he was coming up on the source of the same light he was once encompassed in.

"GAHHHHH! FUCK! WHY IS IT BACK?! WHY DID THE PAIN RETURN?!" the cyborg halted all movement as a voice ripped through the serenity of Vale's skyline. A familiar feeling of dread oozed down the cyborg's artificial back as he noticed the familiar raspiness to the stranger's voice. He peeked over the chimney he took cover behind, only for his eyes to widen behind his visor.

"I had them! I had those fucking traitors nearly dead! Now I'm somewhere in Vale and lost my chance once more to kill those three murdering, disgusting, whores!" the cloaked figure screamed once more as he smashed his hand into the ground, wincing as his skin peeled from his limb and healed once more. Spiderweb cracks formed where he struck the ground and stood to his full height.

"Reaper," the cyborg growled as he leapt from the chimney and brandished his blade, there was no time for the cloaked man to react as the mechanized man let out a sharp roar while plunging the blade into his back. The cyborg's breath hitched as Reaper's back deteriorated into a black mist. This state of confusion was the opportunity needed for reaper to dive forward while pulling out his shotguns, firing them respectively at his opponent. Once the smoke dissipated, The cyborg could hear a grunt of confusion come from his foe.

"Who the fuck are you?"

"Stop playing dumb Reaper, you know exactly who I am. Because of you, I failed my last mission! Because of you my classmates nearly died! I will destroy you here and now for what you've done!" Reaper looked on for a few moments before lowering his shotguns, only to slowly and sarcastically clap his hands at the speech he just heard. The cyborg yelled as three shurikens shot out his hand and Reaper let them phase right through him.

"You're gonna need a lot more than something as pitiful as those if you want to kill me." Reaper snarled as he brandished his shotguns and peppered the cyborg with gunfire. The ninja pulled out his wakizashi and deflected all the pellets right back at him. Reaper growled as he threw away his shotguns for fresh ones and phased away.

The cyborg's eyes narrowed as he looked around rapidly, trying to find his enemy with his guard up to the best of his ability, though his sluggish demeanor didn't help him in the slightest.

"Too late." Reaper's raspy voice was all the ninja could hear before the deafening sound from the shotgun blast collided into his back. The cyborg refused to give Reaper the satisfaction of crying out in pain and rolled away, his back sparking as small pieces of metal echoed on the roof.

"Hmmm. Now you got me curious stranger. What's up with your aura?" Reaper asked as the cyborg raised an eyebrow? Did he forget about him so easily?

"Mercy, I need an analysis on him! He seems to be more powerful than last time!" He ordered before brandishing his wakizashi once more in a battle-ready stance and twitching his finger back, telling Reaper to come.

The psychopath growled as his shotguns mechashifted into two machetes and charged straight at his opponent. The cyborg had no time to react to the new upgrade as the two collided with their blades, sparks flying as the two pushed back against one another, fighting for dominance. The metal grated against each other and the ninja let go of his blade suddenly, making Reaper fall forward. The cyborg caught the blade in midair and slashed Reaper with it, making the terrorist's body spurt with black mist as he let out a cry in pain.

"Ok...I'll give you this, you're a smart little shit. But that attack did nothing. You can't kill me...because I'm already dead!" Reaper bolted in a stream of smoke and appeared before his enemy while he attacked in full force, overwhelming his opponent with quick successive strikes. The cyborg could barely hold off the onslaught of his opponent and the Reaper knew this. With one final slash, reaper broke through his opponent's guard and embedded his blade into the cyborg's shoulder.

"AHHH...DAMMIT..." He breathed weakly as the terrorist continued to push the machete deeper and deeper. The Ninja pulled out three ninja stars and completely cut off the Reaper's arm, giving him his chance to slip away.

"FUCK! Damn...no matter how many times it happens, it always hurts like a bitch." Reaper said to himself as he planted his eyes back on his enemy. The psychopath couldn't see it, but the Cyborg's eyes widened in complete disbelief as sweat brimmed on his forehead, dripping onto his helmet as the arm he just severed from the Reaper's body regrew completely.

"Analysis complete agent Sparrow. The only way to possibly hurt him is by an aura-based attack."

"There's one problem with that Mercy, my body is only running at half efficiency! I can't use my aura in this state!"

"Then you'll have to use your emergency aura supply. If you continue as you are, you will die. This adversary is too much for you at half strength."

The cyborg shook his head and breathed in deeply while gripping the Katana on his back. The Reaper walked forward slowly, smirking in victory as he grated his blades together, taunting his enemy.

"Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I unshackle myself and by my blade, vanquish thee!" The cyborg roared as his blade became enveloped in aura and charged straight at Reaper. The terrorist did the same and collided with his opponent's blade once more, sparks showering from the impact.

"So you think using your aura will save you?!" Reaper taunted as he pushed harder against the ninja's sword.

"SHUT-UP!" The cyborg grunted as he fell to one knee, feeling his leg give out.

"One thing I learned from this personal hell, stick to one handed weapons. Let's you use the other hand." The cyborg gasped as the psychopath gave out one last primal scream. Reaper ducked down and slammed his fist into the cyborg's chest and followed up by ripping the Katana from his opponent's hands before he sliced upwards with his blades, knocking the ninja's helmet off. The cyborg landed on the cold ground in a heap, feeling the cool concrete against his face as he struggled to get up. His body screamed in protest, his back still sparking, and his shoulder leaking blood through the metal.

Reaper stomped on his back, breathing hard as he leveled one of his shotguns with the blonde head of his opponent.

"You gave me a good fight." Reaper muttered as he pressed the barrel against the blonde's head. "But you never had a chance to begin with anyway." The Reaper turned over the cyborg and recoiled in horror. His red eyes widened to unprecedented proportions.

"What's your name?" Reaper asked slowly before his red eyes reverted back to blue for a brief moment. The cyborg coughed as he looked back at him with equal shock at his eyes through the mask and swallowed.

"Jaune Arc, and you?" cyborg Jaune noticed the grip on Reaper's shotgun tighten.

"...Jaune Arc."

The two sat in silence, staring at one another in disbelief before another familiar voice interrupted them.

"Both of you stop fighting!"

The two turned to see another Jaune Arc in a gray t-shirt and jeans who had a puppy next to him.

"These the two you saw fighting?"

"Yep. Told you they looked like weirdos."

"Did...did that dog just talk?" Cyborg Jaune asked in a disbelieving voice.

"Why does he sound like me… us." Reaper corrected as he got a blank stare from the other Jaunes.

"Oh for the love of...YES I can talk! And I'm also Jaune Arc but I'm cursed to turn into this furry monstrosity!" the dog yapped at both of them as the Jaune he came with looked down with a raised eyebrow.

"His semblance is that he can turn into a dog." Reaper blankly said as he holstered his shotgun in his coat. Re-Jaune tapped his own nose with a smirk while Puppy Arc just grumbled. Reaper was about to let out a short snort of laughter, but Cyborg Jaune took this opportunity to scramble to his feet and reach for his Katana. Reaper didn't do anything drastic, but was ready for anything at that moment. Re-Jaune took a breath and stepped forward.

"Seriously guys this can't be the strangest thing you've seen today, I mean who would think that you'd come face to face with yourself?" Re-Jaune chuckled as he and puppy Arc walked over to them. The other two got on their feet and stared at one another, still not believing what they were seeing. Cyborg Jaune wearily sheathed his blade as he picked up his helmet, though glaring at Reaper while doing so.

"Ok...let's lay down the groundwork here...did all of you get transported by a beam of light?" Reaper jaune asked as he shrugged off the tension and the other three Arcs nodded.

"And we have no idea why?" he continued. The three nodded once more.

"So is this Vale not the Vale from our respective... places. Whatever I have no idea how to rationalize this." Reaper finished as he shivered a bit, forgetting the pain that came with him. "Any of you get fucked up during the trip?"

"Language." Puppy Arc interrupted while Reaper flipped the dog off.

"I lost most of my gear." Re-Jaune said as he refused to tell any of them, he arrived stark naked.

"I'm running below my preferred optimal performance." Cyborg Jaune muttered.

"I haven't turned back into a human yet… and I can talk." Puppy Arc mentioned as he sniffed his new selves.

"Sweet Oum, This is messing with my head way too much," Reaper said as he was still trying to wrap his head around the situation. "Can't even make heads or tails of any of this."

"Me neither." Cyborg Jaune said as he looked over the rooftop to make sure the authorities hadn't come yet. During that time, Re-Jaune spoke up.

"Look we're just as clueless as you are, but I think our best bet is to head to Beacon and-"

"NO!"

The other three looked at Reaper Jaune with surprise as their fellow Jaune continued.

"I am not going back there..."

"It's our best chance at finding out where we are! What if there is another Jaune that lives here?! We need to find this out so we can see if this is one of our...universes, I'll just call it universes."

"So you're saying we all come from different universes? That we all are different versions of Jaune Arc?" Cyborg Jaune added and Re-Jaune sighed, rubbing his temples in frustration.

"It's just a theory here guys, I'm just spitballing. Look, Reaper Jaune,"

"Reaper." The masked Jaune grumbled.

"Fine, Reaper." Re-Jaune rolled his eyes. "If we want to find out how to get back home, we'll need to start somewhere. Beacon is our first good lead, so swallow whatever bad blood you have there because you're not the only one who doesn't trust Ozpin!" Re-Jaune quickly seethed, letting his aura pressure leak out shocking the other three from the sheer amount. He realized how much of his temper he let slip and calmed down quickly before he coughed, regaining his composure.

"Uh sorry. Didn't mean for that happen. Let's get off this roof and head toward Beacon." Re-Jaune could tell Reaper wasn't completely on board with this, but turned his attention to the cyborg who walked forward.

"How do you propose we all get in? Clearly, there is going to be concern if two masked men show up at a school." Re-Jaune nodded and scratched the back of his head, waiting for an idea to come. He suddenly turned to the two new Jaunes and snapped his fingers.

"I'll pose as Jaune and you two...will be my cosplaying friends from high school!" both the cyborg and Reaper looked through their masks with blank stares.

"That has to be one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard." Reaper Jaune sighed in defeat.

"Alright, let's go then." Re-Jaune started before wincing. "I only have a motorcycle soo."

"I could run there almost as fast as a car but my body is too damaged from fighting." Cyborg Jaune said as he glared toward Reaper. "We'll need transportation."

"We could always steal a car." Reaper Jaune shrugged.

"I think that'd be unwise. We just got to this world, we don't want to be breaking the law already." The cyborg chastised.

"Uh...Yeah! Don't wanna steal things that aren't yours!" Restart Jaune swallowed and tugged at his collar, being guilty of exactly what the cyborg said not to do.

"Well, there's always one thing you could use." Puppy Arc spoke up as the two looked at him.

"And what's that?"

(Twenty minutes later)

"This is humiliating." Cyborg Arc and Reaper Arc said in unison as they sat in the back of a bus. The two sat in silence as they tried to ignore the amount people staring at them. Reaper leaned in to whisper to Cyborg Jaune.

"Ya know, I could take off my mask and scare the piss out of them. It'd make them stop staring."

"We're already drawing enough attention, we don't need more. Besides we're only five minutes away from the docks." Cyborg Jaune mentioned as his back sparked a bit, earning a startled cry from a passenger.

"I believe you are stressed with the situation despite your calm demeanor." Mercy said to Cyborg Arc who sighed and rested his head on the window.

"Of course I'm stressed. I've been taken from my world and thrown into another...I'm worried about Pyrrha, she must be worried sick."

"Knowing you, you'll find a way back soon. You're too stubborn to let something like this hold you back." Mercy gave him a smile emoticon, making him smirk a bit, but didn't notice his reluctant compatriot looking away at the mention of Pyrrha.

"Stop for bullhead docks!" The bus driver yelled as the two Arcs stood up and upon exiting the vehicle came to face to face with their fellow Arcs.

"Man took you two long enough." Re Jaune chuckled as he ate the cone from the Ice cream he was eating. Puppy Arc was scarfing down a bowl of Pumpkin Pete's ice cream and looked up at them with melted ice cream on his snout. The two gave him a deadpan look and the puppy just shrugged his paws, continuing to eat.

"Are you done playing dog owner?"

"He was hungry. How'd you like it if you were a dog and couldn't buy any food for yourself?"

Reaper shrugged as the four of them walked to the Beacon bullhead area. It took them about an hour, but they finally found one and walked up to the pilot.

"Hello sir, I'm Jaune Arc from Beacon academy and I need a bullhead ride for myself and my friends here."

The pilot stared at the strange group, swearing on his life that a kid just like the one in front of him was on his previous flight, but being a pilot for huntsman and huntresses in training, he's seen weirder. Like one time when he saw a corgi bite a Beowolf's arm off at the breach.

"Alright get on," he sighed. "I'll need some Beacon Identification though."

"Uhhhh." Re Jaune said as he looked to the others for help, but to no avail.

"Guh, damn kids. Always losing your IDs. Tell me your name and year please." The pilot asked as he pulled up a tablet.

"Jaune Arc, freshman at Beacon."

It took a minute or two before the pilot nodded and waved them to get on the ship. He'd soon regret letting them on...

(One longer than usual bullhead Ride later)

"GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY SHIP!" The pilot screamed as the four sprinted out of the vomit covered bullhead, the ship reeking of puke and dog urine. The four Arc's let their insides out as whatever contents that were in their stomachs before were now one with the pavements.

"Huh. We really are all Jaune Arc." Cyborg Jaune mentioned as he wiped the vomit away and shakily put his helmet back on.

"It hurts… It fucking hurts." Reaper said as he had no idea why he regained his air sickness, though hurling what remained of his lunch up wasn't something he wanted to relive.

"Why did you piss inside the bullhead?!" Re-Jaune yelled at Puppy Arc as he stifled the vomit from rearing its disgusting head again.

"Dude I'm usually never a dog this long! I can't help it if my body does shit without me thinking about it!"

The four pocketed that bit information and shook off their vertigo before they all took a long look at Beacon tower.

'It's in one piece...I...I never thought I'd ever see it again.' Re-Jaune thought to himself as he bit back tears that threatened to leak out.

"Alright so what do we do from here?" the cyborg asked and Re-Jaune shook himself and smacked his cheeks.

"We need to get to JNPR and RWBY's dorms. They're the only ones that can help us. Plus, we have no money and can't afford to live anywhere soooo."

"Got it. Bumb off our teammates and hope that they keep us a secret." Reaper grumbled as he kept his arms folded, glaring at the entirety of the school.

"Exactly. So, let's see if anyone's home."

The four walked through Beacon's halls, Restart Jaune reigned in his emotions and stopped himself from reliving his previous life and all the good memories that came with it. The group finally made it to JNPR's dorm and cyborg Jaune listened to hear any noise.

"I don't hear anything. We're good to go in."

"Great, thanks man." Re-Jaune nodded as he barged through the door and immediately froze. All of them halted in their tracks as they could barely see with all the steam entering from the bathroom, though Re-Jaune's motor functions refused to move as he saw a sight he hadn't seen in so many years. Pyrrha Nikos, the one that kissed him before she died, the one that always was with his side until that Fall bitch took her away from him, the one who never left his memory, even after having a restart of his life…

Was in nothing but a towel right before him, confused out of her mind and a blush on her face.

Re-Jaune couldn't speak. His mouth opened and closed like a fish, trying to get a word out.

"J-Jaune?! I told you I was showering! W-why are you back?!" It looked like steam was coming off of Pyrrha's head as she looked at the entourage in front of her.

"Gah! Can't see through the condensation!" Cyborg Arc shouted as he pulled off his helmet and looked at Pyrrha as well, making a mental note that this version of his girlfriend looked the exact same.

That was the final nail in the coffin as the champion's eyes rolled back, fainting. Cyborg Arc dashed and caught her, not moving her towel to protect her modesty.

"Hello?! Earth to other Jaune? Wake up!" Puppy Arc shouted as he chomped at Re-Jaune's leg.

Restart Jaune shook his head and saw that Pyrrha was now unconscious laying on her bed.

"Uh...that could've gone better." Re-Jaune mentioned as his hands were still shaking, though it didn't stop him from glaring at the cyborg. "And you told me that no one was in here!"

"My cybernetics must've been more damaged than I thought." Cyborg Jaune scratched his head sheepishly in embarrassment.

The door opened once more and in came another Jaune Arc, who looked up to see two Jaune's, a blonde dog and hooded guy with a skull, all surrounding his unconscious partner who was in nothing but a towel.

"What the...who the hell are you guys?!" Jaune screamed as they heard footsteps run down the hall and in came Ren and Nora whose eyes widened when seeing two men that looked exactly like their leader. Silence hung in the air until a certain dog didn't learn to keep his mouth shut.

"Well this is awkward."

Sparky: Also, for the difference in Noble's writing style, I've offered my help in parts where we agreed detail could be used more. It's like a combination of both of our writing styles and story-telling. We hope you all enjoyed this.
