OK, first off, thank you all so much for your reviews and suggestions. I'm going to watch those videos first to see if any of them are inappropriate but they will get on here. Also, it probably won't happen for a while though. I was planning to have YouTube videos appear every 3 chapters so the next one wouldn't appear until chapter 4 but stay strong. We will get through this. As for the movie IT, I have not seen that movie so until I see it, I wouldn't put my hopes up for it to happen. Anyways enjoy this chapter.
Same rules apply for the talking and 4th wall and stuff.
(AIDA's POV)
"So, how did you guys enjoy that universe?"
"It was really good, I loved how hilarious the videos were." Ruby exclaims with overflowing joy
"Not to mention how rockin that song was in that one video." Yang says
"Although he was somewhat loud from when he spoke, he had a lot of energy that really connects with you." Blake says with a small smile
"Whatever, he's just as ridiculous as our Jaune." Weiss says with contempt.
"Weiss, why do you have to be so mean to him?" Ruby asks exasperated
"If he just took his work more seriously, than I would be civil with him."
AIDA watches them with the (-_-) emoji until he gets another idea and brings up the next universe. Hopefully this will change her mind.
"Hey guys, the next one is starting. After this one is done, the portal should be fixed for you to go back." AIDA says with a happy tune.
(3rd P. POV)
The lights dim and the screen shows Jaune strapped to a table upon a syndical like pod. His shirt is of showing his thin and scraggly like body. Professor Ozpin is slowly walking towards the viewing area with a microphone.
"Can you hear me? Is this thing on?" Ozpin asks in an odd German accent to gain everyone's attention
"What's with the accent?" Weiss asks Blake while whispering
"I don't know but it makes him sound funny" Yang says from overhearing her question
"Ladies and gentlemen today we do not take another step towards annihilation, but the first step on the path to peace." He says as he looks towards General Ironwood "We begin with a series of micro injections into the subject's major muscle groups." He says as 2 assistants grab 8 blue serums leaving all but one and inserting them into the machine.
"The serum infusion will cause immediate cellular change. And then to stimulate growth, the subject will be saturated by enhanced Aura Infusion." He says as he then walks towards Jaune getting a shot from one of the nurses.
"I don't like shots…unless I get a cookie at the end of it." Ruby says
"That wasn't so bad." Jaune says with relief
"That was Penicillin." Ozpin says receiving a horrified expression from Jaune
"What's penicillin?" Ruby asks.
"It's a medication in their world that numbs the patient's body to not feel pain so that they can perform surgeries and such." AIDA explains
"But why do they need to infuse aura into him? Doesn't he have any?" Blake asks
"In this world there are no semblances and the only person who is going to be infused with aura is Jaune and the Main Bad Guy." AIDA says which gained shocked reactions from our favorite female team
"Serum infusion beginning in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." Ozpin counts down as he flips the switch inserting the serum into Jaune's body
"Now Doctor Oobleck" he motions the Dr. to activate the machine. Dr. Oobleck flips the switch raising the machine making it so Jaune is facing forwards as the cocoon like doors surround him and seals shut.
"Jaune can you hear me?" Ozpin asks as he puts an ear to the door
"Probably too late to go to the bathroom, right?" Jaune asks to get rid of his nerves
Of course, he would ask that" Weiss says as Yang laughs at Jaune's joke.
"We will proceed" Ozpin states as he signals Oobleck to begin the Aura infusion
"That's 10%, 25%, 38%, it's now at 50%"
"Vital signs are normal" Glynda states
"70%" Oobleck states as Jaune starts to scream in pain
The RWBY team stare in shock and sadness watching as their friend is being tortured with Oum knows what. Ruby starts crying her eyes out from hearing her very first friend hurting like that as she is being comforted by Yang.
The screen changes showing Pyrrha widening her eyes in shock and worry as she runs towards the lab down the stairs.
"Jaune!" Ozpin yells as he reaches the machine
"Shut it down!" Pyrrha exclaims as she reaches the stairs
"JAUNE!" Ozpin tries again only getting no response except for screams of pain
"Shut it down NOW!" Pyrrha states with a tear streaming down her cheek
"Kill the reactor Doctor Oobleck, kill it now" Ozpin states as he heads towards the powering station
"NO!...DONT!...I CAN DO THIS!" Jaune says with pain but conviction.
"Vomit boy's got guts" Yang says
After a brief moment in hesitation Dr. Oobleck continues feeding the pod with aura. "80, 90, that 100%" Oobleck states all electronics in the room break and spark dangerously. Within the pod, a voice that reverberate within Jaune's bones speaks softly into his ear.
""For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Thru this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite and distance unbound by death. I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee." It spoke as a flash of blind light bursts from the pod and shuts down all electricity for about a minute.
Everyone holds their breath in worry and anticipation to see what happened to him. Ozpin looks to Oobleck.
"Dr. Oobleck" he says motioning him to open the pod.
As the pod slowly opens, it reveals Jaune but not what he once was. In his place left a man standing at 6 foot 4. All the fat that used to be from his body is now gone, only leaving him pure muscle. Words cannot describe how he looked, but if I were to summarize him in one word… it would be Demigod.
The RWBY team all had varying reactions.
Ruby seeing him started to blush Ruby Rose Red slowly trying to shield her eyes with her hands even though she's looking through her fingers.
"Mama likes. Mama likes a lot." Yang says as she fans herself and rubbing her thighs together
Blake although not showing any real emotions shows a light blush as well as having blood come out of her nose in a steady stream.
As for Weiss, her brain had to shut down because she could not comprehend the possibilities of their Jaune becoming that.
"We did it?" Jaune asks as he stumbles out of the machine
"Yea I think we did" Ozpin says with a smile
"We actually did it." Oobleck states in awe
Pyrrha runs to him but stops in front of him not wanting to show that much affection around everyone.
"How do you feel?" she asks with a smile and with mild curiosity
"…Taller" Jaune finally says due to him being very tired.
"You look taller." She says as her eyes roam all over his new body.
Unknown to those around them, a spy from within the white fang had infiltrated their little lab and activated a small bomb they left on their chair disguised as a glasses holder. An explosion commences within the watching area which gave the spy the perfect distraction to take the last vile of the serum.
"Stop that man!" Ozpin shouts only to receive 3 bullets to his chest given to him by the spy's hand gun.
Team RWBY all gasp in shock from seeing her headmaster shot. They thought he would be fine but had forgotten that only Jaune has aura.
As Jaune moves his way forward to stop the spy he first goes to Ozpin. Ozpin, reaching for his last breath taps Jaune's chest reminding him to always stay true to his heart from the little pep talk he gave him prior to the operation. And with that action, Ozpin passes from the world and Jaune raises his head with determination to stop that man.
The screen turns dark for but a moment until it shows a new location. It now shows him in a forest, shrouded in mist within the darkness of night wearing both his costume and Brown Leather jacket. His shield hanging on his back with the design changed to that of red white and blue
"Why does his shield look like that and why doesn't he just collapse it?" Ruby asks
"I don't know, but I kind of like the design." Yang says
"What does it mean by costume?" Weiss asks confused
As he hides behind the trees, he sees a convoy approaching. He waits until the last car approaches and jumps into the back of the moving truck. As he looks up he sees 2 white fang members looking at him in surprise.
"…fellas." He says casually
The screen changes to the outside of the truck only to hear the sounds of punching and kicking as the 2 members are then tossed out of the truck unconscious. Waiting in the truck he prepares himself for action by grabbing his shield and waiting for the flap like doors to open. A white fang member slowly walks towards the truck to open the flap only to see a shield in a colorful display. He is confused for but a moment before Jaune shield bashes them in the face, causing the member to fly backwards unconscious.
"Dang, vomit boys got some power in his punches." Yang says impressed.
"He jumps out of the truck and slowly makes his way towards the large factory, performing many sneak attacks as to not be seen or caught. Finding a map of the different levels of the factory, he finds the Dungeon or detention center of the building. Reaching his destination, Jaune slowly looks behind a corner and sees a guard patrolling the corridor with the keys attached to the hip. Scanning the room to see if the coast is clear he then silently takes down the guard and grabs the keys off of him.
"Dang Blake, he's a better ninja than you." Yang says giggling a bit.
Blake shows offence to that statement but must admit that his skills are very impressive
One of the prisoners notice our hero and looks at him in confusion and curiosity.
"Who are you supposed to be?" the prisoner asks
"I'm…Captain America" Jaune replies as he tries to figure out how to get down there
"I beg your pardon" A Faunus prisoner asks as Jaune leaves down the stairs reaching them in 5 minutes flat.
"What's America? I never heard of that name before." Ruby asks aloud causing the screen to pause on that reality for a moment.
"America is one of the major continents in their world. It consists of 50 states with their own cities and capitals and is the most powerful country during this time." AIDA Replies to Ruby's question
"Wait, so there's no Vale or Atlas" Blake asks in confusion
"Nope, there not even on Remnant. The planet there on is called Planet Earth" AIDA says to the shock of the room and resumes the reality.
"Is there anybody else, I'm looking for a sergeant Lie Ren." Jaune says looking around
"Ren's in this? Is he like his brother or a friend?" Ruby asks
"I guess so? And I don't know…probably friend?" Weiss says questionably.
"There's an isolation ward in the factory, but no one's ever come back from it." One of the Faunus prisoners say
"All right, the tree line is northwest, 80 yards past the gate. Get out fast and give them hell. I'll meet you guys at the clearing with anybody else I find." He says with confidence as he heads for the isolation ward.
"Wait, you know what you're doing?" another prisoner asks
"Of course, I've knocked out Salem over 200 times." Remembering the fake Salem he had to pretend punch in all of his shows and movies before even coming to this place.
"WHAT! Are you saying that you went there with NO training OR backup and you're using your movie experiences to even accomplish this?" Weiss asks in anger, worry, and annoyance.
"Hey he's doing pretty well so far. Give him some credit." Yang and Ruby both said respectively.
"What I want to know is who this Salem person is" Blake replies having all of them curious as well.
As our hero searches for the ward, the camera changes to the escaped prisoner's charging into the Frey and grabbing as many weapons they can get. 2 of them wrestle a soldier to the ground and grabs the advanced weapon while the other one finishes of the enemy soldier. While another Faunus, this one with a monkey tale and showing abs, climbs into a motorized tank.
"Hey that's sun, wonder what he was doing as a prisoner" Yang says
"Well obviously he did something to be arrested. Probably from sneaking around" Weiss says ignoring the anger being shown from Blake
"More like Monkeying around" Yang says only to get some popcorn thrown at her courtesy of Ruby
"Gosh darn it Yang" Blake says
"Do you know what you are doing?" One of the prisoners asks the Faunus that is holding the weapon. He shrugs his shoulders just as a beam of energy shoots out of the gun and destroys the wall a distance away from them. Both look to the Faunus holding the gun and raise their hands to ease him down "Okay, I guess you do then."
Changing the camera again it shows the powerful Adam Taurus looking at the monitors watching as the chaos unfolds
"What is happening?" he asks in anger and confusion as he then pushes the alarms for security to solve their problem.
"A-Adam?!" Blake asks in shock
"You know him? Yang asks
"I-I used too." Blake responds with sadness showing across her face
Changing the screen again, it shows another prisoner climbs into the tank as well.
"Hey, not exactly a Buick isn't it?" he asks his prisoner friend who wears goggles on his head
"And there's Neptune." Ruby says
"What's he doing in there?!" Weiss asks
"Well obviously he did something to be arrested." Blake says thinking that teasing Weiss is actually funny especially when her face turns red with anger.
"That one. 'Zundung'." He says as he points to a button
"Zundung?" Sun asks as he pushes the button. Getting the giant tank started.
"Get this thing going, Sun!" another of his friend says as he climbs into the tank as well.
"Didn't know you spoke German." Sun says in surprise
"Three semesters at Howard, switched to French, girls much cuter." He says with a smile
Weiss face palms herself for the reason he switched languages. "Of course, he did"
"Didn't ask for a resume nerd." Sun says with a smile
"AP up up up up, intellectual." He corrects his friend as the other one fires the mounted gun destroying all of the other tanks and trucks in his path
"YAHOO!" Sun shout out in joy ant thrills.
Changing the screen, it shows Adam switching cameras on his monitors to see the damage until he stops changing them to watch Jaune clearing a path. Knowing why he was easily clearing the ground troops and feeling his aura, he starts to activate the self-destruct sequence.
"No-No, what are you doing?!" His Scientific Genius of a partner asks him wearing a cloak and boulder hat.
"Roman!" All of RWBY Exclaim, but then laugh at seeing how fat he is in this universe
"Our forces are outmatched" He says as he continues the sequence leaving roman to run to his laboratory. He then activates a machine to grab a glowing blue cube that pulsates with power.
"Wonder what that is" Ruby thinks out loud.
"I don't know, but it must be important to him." Blake says with curiosity
Changing the camera, it shows Roman stuffing his suitcase with blueprints and folders to take with him leaving a map behind showing many of his hidden factories. As he leaves his lab he spots Jaune looking at him in curiosity so decides to run. Jaune, seeing roman starts to go after him but hears moaning in the room so changes his goal to see who's in the lab. Walking slowly to not bring attention to himself he sees Ren strapped onto a table. Speaking about numbers and nonsense.
"Ren…oh my God, what have they done?" He asks himself as he then rips the bindings off of him to help him up.
"Ren, can you hear me? It's Jaune." He says to Ren
"Jaune?" Ren asks trying to focus on the blurry man in front of him
"Yea Ren, it me." He says smiling seeing that nothing is wrong at the moment.
"Jaune!" Ren says smiling yet weak.
Jaune helps him up and steadies him." I thought you were dead!"
Ren looks at him and follows his eyes towards Jaune's face "I thought you were smaller."
Jaune seeing as he is ok looks around the room and sees the map with the locations memorizing them to memory as they start to leave. "Come on, we gotta go."
"What happened to you? Ren asks as he is being supported by Jaune
"I joined the army." Jaune says
Explosions start to commence as they climb the stairs to get to higher ground. Reaching a catwalk Jaune tries to figure out where to go next when he suddenly hears his stage name.
"Captain America! How exciting. I am a huge of your films" He hears and turns to see Adam Taurus, Leader of the White fang and the one who ordered the spy to kill Ozpin. He walks slowly towards him just as Adam does the same.
"SO, Professor Ozpin finally managed it after all. Not much of an improvement but still impressive." He says to Jaune only to receive a punch to the face sending his white fang mask into the depths below
"Nice punch hot stuff" Yang says impressed.
"You have no idea" Jaune says in slight anger.
Adam shows his face showing how his right eye became disfigured a bit.
"Haven't I?" He asks as he throws a punch that dents Jaune's shield
Jaune surprised, lowers his shield to look at the dent only to receive a punch sending him to the ground. Adam comes forward only to receive a double footed kick that sends him to the other side. Roman seeing this flips a switch to activate the catwalk to retract as both combatants get back up
"No matter what lies Ozpin told you, I was his greatest creation." Adam says as he grabs his lower neck trying to pull it away
"What is he doing?" Ruby asks
"Ruby cover your eyes, I don't want you to see this." Yang says only to fail as the watch this horrifying act
His skin starts to peel back revealing how disfigured he was. Skin as red as blood, hair nonexistent. Horns doubled in size, eyes sunken in and his nose basically nonexistent. Jaune seeing this immediately covers his mouth to not puke but labels Adam as Devil Skull in his mind.
"Oh, my Oum!" Weiss says as a green complexion adorns her face.
"What the F**k is that!?" Yang shouts
Ruby skin becomes even paler because to her he looks creepy. And Blake can't even understand why he would want this power.
"You are deluded Captain. You pretend to be a simple soldier, but in reality, you are just afraid to admit that we have left humanity behind." Adam says as he tosses is skin mask into the depths bellow
"Unlike you I embrace it proudly without fear" Adam states as he enters the elevator
"Then how come you're running?" Jaune asks
Adam pushes the button to close the elevator leaving Jaune and Ren to continue climbing. As they reach the top Jaune has Ren walk across the balance beam to get to the other side. However due to the explosions, it has become unstable and breaks of into the depths. As Ren climbs onto the other side, seeing the predicament, Ren looks to Jaune.
"There's got to be a rope or something" Ren says desperately
"Just go, get out of here" Jaune yells motioning him to go
"No, Not without you" Ren Yells back with resolve
Jaune seeing his resolve looks at the bar in front of him and bends it forward to get a better opening.
"What's he doing" Weiss asks
"I have an idea but I don't like it" Blake responds seeing what he's planning to do
He backs up as far as he can and looks back at the opening
"He wouldn't" Weiss says understanding what he's planning
"He isn't" Yang says, doubting that he would
"He is" Ruby says pointing at him running
As he jumps, the largest explosion happens, consuming him in fire as the screen transitions from the flames to someone typing on a typewriter.
"What happened, what happened to Jaune?" Ruby asks worried about her best friend
"Senator Brandt, I regret to report that Captain Jaune Ark went missing behind Enemy Lines on the 3rd of this month. Aerial reconnaissance has proven unfruitful, as a result I must declare Captain Jaune… killed in action. Period." Ironwood says to the corporal typing out what he said
"No…NO!" Ruby screams as she starts crying on Yang's shoulders. Her best friend is dead in this world. She's never thought of that happening to anyone before, but now she's scared for their Jaune in this world. She thinks she's starting to like Jaune as more than friends because she was starting to see him in a new light due to this universe and wanted to see where things might turn out.
Pyrrha steps into the tent that they were in and shows the images from her report. "The last surveillance flight is back, no sign of activity" She says professionally yet sad at the same time
Ironwood still upset with her turns to the corporal and motions his head "Go get a cup of coffee corporal"
"Yes sir" the corporal salutes and leaves the tent
James moves a bit forward with his hands on his hips trying to control his temper "I can't touch Oobleck. He's rich and he's the Army's number 1 weapons contractor. You are neither one!"
"With respect sir I don't regret my actions and I don't think Captain Ark did either" She says with conviction
"What makes you think I give a damn about your opinions? I took a chance with you agent Nikos and now America's Golden Boy and a lot of other good men are dead cuz you had a crush" He says in a cool venomous voice that made her spine shiver.
Ignoring that feeling, she stands her ground and responds with "It wasn't that. I had faith in him"
"I hope that's a big Comfort to you when they shut this division down" he replies only to hear commotion outside. "What the hell's going on out there?" He states as he exits the tent along with Pyrrha
Walking towards the front gate, dramatic music starts to play as the soldiers move out of the way. Climbing up the hill was a man in his brown leather jacket burnt to the crisp falling apart at the seams. His face covered in soot from the explosions from the factory still showed yet his face still showed joy and a sense of victory. Yet his most recognizable feature is his shield, proudly worn across his back.
"YEA JAUNE! HE MADE IT!" Ruby exclaims happily with tears of joy falling down
"Son of a gun, he actually made it" Yang says impressed
Blake and Weiss don't show that much emotion but secretly they smile seeing him alright.
"Look who it is" one of the soldiers exclaim beginning a round of applause. Jaune marches on with Ren by his side smiling next to him until he comes face to face with General Ironwood. He first salutes him and then states his report.
"Some of these men need medical attention." Thinking very carefully he then solemnly states "I'd like to surrender myself for disciplinary actions."
"What!" Why would he ask for that?" Ruby asks
"If what I remember from Sister Winter is correct, the only reason he would ask for that is if he directly disobeyed an order. Maybe going there to save them was what made him disobey an order." Weiss says to her teammates
Looking at Jaune he sees that he regrets disobeying him but sees that he truly believed that what he did was right.
"…That won't be necessary" he finally tells Jaune and turns around to see Pyrrha smiling at Jaune.
"Faith huh" he says smirking at her as she blushes
Pyrrha walks up to him trying yet failing to look stern and upset at him "You're late"
Jaune smiles and pulls out a scroll from a pocket showing that it has been completely damaged. "Couldn't call my ride"
Ren seeing Jaune after getting some medical help shouts out "Hey let's hear it for Captain America"
Everyone screams in jubilation and joy until the screen fizzles out and turns off.
(3rd P. POV)
"Hey, what happen?" Yang asks
"Sorry, it takes a lot of energy to see multiverses. Give me about 10 minutes and I can bring it up again. Although a lot of time would have passed by then and you would only be able to see the ending" AIDA says while sounding sad
"It's ok AIDA. We understand." Blake says with a smile
"Besides, we have some things to talk about anyway." Yang says with a Cheshire smile.
"Oh, ok then." AIDA says as he goes into hibernation mode showing a timer for 10 minutes.
"So…Jaune became pretty hot huh?" Yang asks with a small blush
"YANG!" Ruby yells with a blush.
"I must say, he became very attractive after being infused with aura." Blake says with a blush surprising Ruby and Yang since she's mostly soft spoken
"He became pretty good with fighting, although I do want to know what happened to his sword or how he got his shield." Weiss says remembering all of his fighting skills so far
"Aww is Jaune melting your 'Weiss' cold heart?" Yang asks a now blushing Weiss while Blake just face palms
"Gosh darn it yang." Ruby says getting up
"Hey where are you going?" Yang asks
"To find a Bathroom, I'll be right back." Ruby says walking down a hallway
"I'm going, to find some food." Blake says getting up heading towards the cabinets
I'll join you, there must be something here for my high pallet like standards." Weiss says joining Blake
Yang however noticed how Ruby has been acting lately towards Jaune, even if it is this version. So, she decides to go interrogate her sister.
(Ruby's POV)
I sigh in relief only to jump back in fright when I sees my sister in front of me.
"Yang, don't scare me like that."
"What are your feelings towards vomit boy?" Yang asks me
I wasn't even prepared for that so I start to blush what people like to call Ruby Rose Red
"w-w-w-what?! I-I can't. I-I mean." I stutter in embarrassment
"I won't be mad. I just want to know how you feel about Jaune"
Hearing her say his actual name means that she is deathly serious so I take a moment to gather my thoughts.
"…He's my very first friend that I made here at Beacon. He's very smart and occasionally goofy. He's kind and compationet. Sweet yet dedicated. He inspires us when we need it and genually wants to help us when we have a problem of some kind."
"…Do you like like him?" Yang asks me in curiosity
"…I don't know. I never thought I would see Jaune like that at the beginning, and never really thought about us being together like that. But now, after seeing what he went through…" letting my mind drift off
"… well if you do decide to give him a try. I just want to say that ill support you." Yang says
I look up at her in shock but then smile to her
"Thanks"
"But that doesn't mean that I'm not going to go after him either" She says with a smile
"Yaaang" I say exasperated
"I mean did you see those abs and pecks. You can grate cheese off of those."
"YANG!" I yell as she laughs and goes into the restroom leaving me blushing into a tomato red.
(Blake's POV)
My mind has become a chaotic storm with all of these thoughts that are rampaging through my mind. The perpetrator for this chaos?
Jaune Arc
His complete transformation from what I associate him with to…THAT. His goal to find his friend Ren only to help All of those Faunus prisoners as well as fighting the white fang. And fighting Adam for a brief moment only for Adam to reveal what he did to gain an Aura in their world. So many thoughts running through my mind that I actually started to burn my fish that I was cooking without even noticing.
"BLAKE, YOUR FISH IS ON FIRE" Weiss exclaims while activating a glyph to dump snow onto it.
"Sorry, I'm so sorry. I've just been having a lot on my mind recently." I say very startled coming back from lala land.
"…Is it about Jaune?" Weiss asks
"…Maybe."
"…"
"It's just that…I can't help but think that he acts exactly like our Jaune…and I never even thanked him. For being our friend, for helping us out with our problems, even for seeing Faunus as just living human beings."
"…"
"…I just don't know what to do or how to act around him now that we've seen him like this in that universe."
"…(sigh) I don't know what to tell you. I think I can honestly say that Jaune has surprised me on more than one occasion in that universe." Weiss admits to me
"Just do what you think is right. Weather its telling you to give him a hug, I personally don't care." Weiss says as she heads back towards the chairs.
(AIDA's POV)
'Looks like everything is going according to plan' I think as I overhear what Weiss says about jaune.
"Ok, were all charged up. Everybody ready?" I ask
"WAIT" Yang exclaims as she cannonballs onto her seat "Ok, ready."
"Ok, HERE WE GOOOO!"
Jaune is seen driving his motorcycle down the road in the forest. On his back lays his round spherical Shield decorated in traditional red white and blue with a star in the center of it.
"Hey, what happened to his Shield? Why is it round now?" Ruby asks confused
His mind drifts back to when he first received his new Shield.
Flashback begins
"I've noticed you become rather attached?" Doctor Oobleck States as he Pats The Shield
"It's hand you than you might think"
"I took the liberty of coming up with some options." He says I see gestures to all the shields made onto the table some with machine guns some with rocket launchers
"Sooo cool" Ruby exclaims with stars in her eyes and floating towards the screen in her chibi form
And to be honest John didn't really like that at all
"What?!" Ruby exclaims in anger
He was a simple man he like simple things that's all there was to it
"This one's fun. She's been fitted with electrical relays that allow you to..." John ignores him because he saw a simple round shield on the bottom of the rack
"What about this one?" he asks as he grabs it
"No no that's just a prototype" Doctor Oobleck States thinking that he wouldn't care for it
"What's this thing made out of" Jaune asks noticing how light it was
"... Vibranium. It's stronger than steel and a 1/3 of the weight. It is completely vibration absorbent." Oobleck replies with a lecture like tone
"Woah" Ruby says in awe wondering if she can get some.
"How come it's not standard issue?" He asks shocked on how this metal worked
"That's the rarest metal on Earth. What you're holding right there, that's all we got"
Flashback ends
John comes out of memory lane by hearing motorcycles behind him. Looking back ec6 White Fang members chasing behind him. He faces forward to think clearly on what plan he should take, but while doing so the White Fang release energy blasts from the front of their motorcycles towards him. Due to his shield absorbing vibrations, the beams are canceled out. Now having a plan with in his mind, he activates his motorcycles Weaponry function and presses a button. This button-activated 2 Harpoon like wires to shoot out the left and right sides of his motorcycle attaching to two trees and letting it rest there. The first 4 WF members sees the Trap and Ducks below it, however the remaining two are caught within the wires and are launched backwards.
"That was awesome." Ruby exclaims while getting out of notebook to write the weapon down to use later on
"I gotta say, although that bike looks really old, it has some pretty cool features." Yang says with respect
Jaune than presses another button which activates its flamethrower mode. Scorching the leader of the WF members, he sets the lead bike aflame therefore having its Rider jump off it and crashing onto the ground. However, in doing so, it led to another of the members crashing into the motorcycle thus launching him into the air comically
"Seriously a flamethrower too?" Yang exclaims as Ruby continues to add new ideas to her journal
Looking behind him, he searches for the remaining members only to hear them in front of him. Thinking that they must have taken the shortcut, he increases his speed to catch up to them. Reaching them, he pulls one of the grenade pins from one of the motorcycles and speeds up even more to go ahead of them. 5 seconds later he hears immense explosion happened behind him and knows his plan worked.
Continuing on his drive for five minutes he comes across the tank driving up towards him. Understanding the danger that he is about to approach, he removes his shield from his back and places it in front of him. Hidden turrets start to fire upon Him however with his quick thinking he weaves to the left and right to avoid incoming fire. Lining up his shot he activates another button on the right side to activate his rocket launcher to fire upon the tank thus destroying it.
"Oh, come on. How can It have rocket launchers as well?! Weiss exclaims exasperated while Ruby adds that to her journal as well
Riding up the ramp which held one of the Hidden turrets, he flies through the air Landing with a crash. Activating a hidden switch within his vehicle he then jumps off it towards one of the White Fang members on top of tank. With his momentum key shield bashes the enemy into the air while rolling to a stop. Seeing another member about 3 meters away, he grabs his shield and tosses it towards him...
"That idiot! He just left himself wide open now. Why would he do that?" Weiss yells to the room in anger and frustration.
Striking him directly onto his chest, thus ricocheting the shield back towards him for him to catch.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"... did he just pull a Pyrrha out of nowhere." Weiss asks
"Yes and no. Pyrrha uses her semblance to bend it to her will while Jaune is using physics and his calculating mine to find the right trajectory in order for it to return to him." Blake says in awe
"Not only that, his shield is vibration absorbent so that must help as well." Ruby states adding her own comment to their observation
Going back to the motorcycle we see it driving towards the main entrance. Upon making contact with the main doors, it explodes in a fiery Inferno destroying the doors in the process
"So, let me get this straight, that hidden switch was to prime it as a bomb which explodes on contact!?" Yang says in shock.
Moving back to Jaune, it shows him deflecting 2 laser beams before knocking the gun downward thus pulling the WFM downward as well and launches his knee towards the enemy's face launching him in the opposite direction. Another WFM starts charging from behind so he turns around and uses that momentum to punch the enemy's face with the edge of his shield, sending the member flat on his ass.
Searching for another opponent, he sees one charging in, fist ready for a one-on-one fist fight. Jaune walks confidently towards his opponent using his shield to deflect a fist to the face to the left, punching the member in the face with a right cross, and then uppercutting him with his shield sending him flying away. Turning towards another one, he uses his shield to knock him onto the ground and then kicks him in the gut sending him flying away. Now noticing two more guards about 3 meters away, he tosses his shield to the left while running towards his target. The shield flies through the air ricocheting off of the metal tank and hits the secondary guard in the back of the head knocking him out as it flies into the air. Jaune knowing what will happen, focuses on the guard in front of him and tosses him away over a tank before catching his shield once again
"... is it just me or is anybody else turned on from watching him fighting like that?" Yang asks as she rubs her thighs together. Blake doesn't respond but a blush appears upon her cheeks as well.
Preparing for his next fight he's is unaware of the two White Fang members firing Flames from their blow-torched gauntlets, creating a wall of fire for him to not Escape. Trying to think of a plan of attack, the Flames disperse showing over 100 of the White Fang members aiming at him directly. He has been captured.
"Oh no!" Ruby exclaims, sad that he got caught
"Vomit boy was good, but even i don't think I can take them all on" Yang says shocking the rest of the team
The screen now shows Jaune entering the building as a prisoner, walking down the hallway into the main lab where Adam Taurus or Demon Skull waits for him.
"Arrogance may not be a uniquely American trait but I must say you do it better than anyone else." Adam states as he walks towards him.
"Ugh, ill never get used to looking at that face" Weiss says in disgust
"But there are limits to even what you can do Captain, or did Ozpin tell you otherwise?" he asks as he stops and stands right in front of me.
"Ozpin told me you were insane." Jaune says with defiance
"Ahh, he resented my genius and tried to denied me what was rightfully mine, but he gave you everything…so what made you so special."
"Nothing…I'm just a kid from Brooklyn." Jaune replies only to get a slap to the face and a punch to the gut. Jaune fighting through the pain looks up to Adam and says "I can do this all day"
"Oh of course you can, of course, but unfortunately I am on a tight schedule." Adam replies by pulling out a pistol. Sounds coming from outside draws his attention and notices that a group of men are ziplining to them
"So am i." Jaune says as he pulls one of the soldiers forward to take the laser beam for him. The windows shatter revealing Sun, Neptune, and a few others landing into the room and firing away against the White Fang.
"Arc, you might need this" Neptune says as he tosses Jaune's shield towards him
"THANKS" Jaune replies as he leaves the room to chase after Adam
The scene changes to reveal soldiers from the WF marching down a corridor to stop the threat only to stop due to an explosion as the American army moves into the building.
"Were in, Assault team go!" A Faunus soldier yells into a radio
The scene changes to the forest outside of the building revealing General Ironwood along with Pyrrha waiting for the signal.
'Were in, assault team go!' they hear from the radio.
"MOVE OUT!" Ironwood says
Scenes fly by as they alternate battles from within the enemy base as well as the outside. Both sides are losing men but none more than the WF being pushed back
"Oh my god, it's a full-on war isn't it." Ruby states realizing the significance of this battle. Blake is shown to have tears running down her eyes seeing ow much conflict is happening.
The scene changes to Adam grabbing a gun and firing upon the enemy forces, both human and Faunus alike to escape the facility.
"The white fang ssshall be eternal, kill one of usss and 2 more ssshall…UGH" A Snake faunus says only to be shot by General Ironwood
"Well, let's go find us 2 more." He says with a grim expression
The scene changes to Jaune chasing Adam through a corridor while deflecting his pistol beam shots with his shield. Knowing that he won't catch up, he attempts to stop him by throwing his shield towards him. He thinks it will work until he notices that it got wedged between 2 closing doors. About to retrieve, he suddenly dodges to a corner as a WF member appears and fires his flamethrowers.
Not knowing what to do he waits for his untimely end until he hears an explosion and a thud from the corridor. He slowly peaks to look only to see him on the floor, dead. In the corner of his eye he notices Pyrrha with her gun pointing at the dead body so walks up to her.
"Your late." He says attempting to flirt with her like they did a few months ago.
Pyrrha wanting nothing more but to kiss him reminds him of his goal. "weren't you just about to…"she says as she gestures to the doors
"….Right!" He says as he continues to run after Adam, grabbing his shield on the way.
Adam, arriving in the hangar, moves towards the incredibly large jet. Climbing up the ladder he then goes to the generator and activates the power source so he can take off. Jaune just arriving at the hanger sees the jet about to take off and runs through the battlefield that had appeared there and plows through the enemy at to reach Adam. HE runs as fast as he can but the Jet gains to much speed and he regretfully has to stop running.
"Aww MAN! HE was so close too!" Yang says as she slouches in disappointment.
The roar of an engine behind him makes him turn around only to notice Ironwood and Pyrrha inside Adams famous car.
"GET IN" Ironwood shouts as he punches the throttle to catch up to the jet. Adam looking in the side mirrors, notices his car and increases his speed. Seeing this happen, Ironwood looks around and notices a button that can only be the turbo so presses it and goes faster than any car has ever been driven due to the technology of their age.
Catching up quickly, Jaune proceeds to get onto the side of the car prepared to jump for it.
"Keep it Steady!" HE shouts to Ironwood
"WAIT!" Pyrrha says and as Jaune looks to her, musters up all of her courage, and kisses him.
"Way to go hit stuff." Yang says impressed as Weiss and Blake aww at the scene while ruby has mixed feelings about that
After finishing the kiss, Jaune is completely shocked and turns towards Ironwood for advice.
Ironwood seeing him look to him shakes his head and says "I'm not kissing you"
"Ptptptp…HAHAHAHAHA" Yang laughs after spitting her coke everywhere while the rest silently giggle at both Jaune's and Yang's expense.
Continuing on his path he slowly gets to the front of the car and jumps onto the Jets wheel bar mechanism as it starts to rise into the air. Seeing Jaune jump ironwood turns the car around and goes as fast as possible as to not drive off the cliff that was fast approaching them.
Jaune is now holding on tightly as the wheels rise into the plane so that he may carefully get off of them and move about freely about in the jet. Raising himself onto the cat walk he looks around and notices the bombs resting inside this jet and looks at where there meant to be dropped. Chicago, Boston, but most importantly New York. Realizing the imminent threat now he wills himself to give everything that he has so as to save the millions of lives that are at stake.
"(Gasp) does that mean that Demon Skull was planning to kill millions?" Ruby asks not realizing the effect of her words and what they mean to an ashened faced Blake.
Jaune then slowly hides in the rafters as some WF soldiers pass him. He then sneaks attacks the closest member and prepares to fight the rest. Throwing them into walls, opening hatches and tossing them off the plane, throwing knives, he did them all. However, he was to late, for you see, one of the WF members snuck into one of the bombs that acts like a plane and launched off. But not before he holds onto it as tight as he can and uses all of his strength just to prevent himself from falling off.
"WOAH! Vomit boys a bit nuts if he thinks that was a good idea." Yang says as she watches him hold on for dear life
Opening the hatch, jaune activates the pilot's ejector seat function and slowly climbs into the plane like bomb. Slowly turning the plane around he is the fired upon from the Jets Anti-Air Defenses. Avoiding all of the blasts he then aims for the back of the jet and crashes into it.
'Thank god that the bomb wasn't primed' He thinks as he gets out of the plane and heads towards Adam. Slowly opening a door, he sees the pilots seat and makes his way over to the controls only to notice that Adam was not in the seat. Hearing a gun priming to fire he raises his shield as he turns to negate the laser beam.
Adam smirks towards Jaune "You don't give up do you?"
"Nope!" Jaune replies as he charges towards Adam continuously deflecting the beams until he knocks the gun away and fights him in hand to hand combat.
Punches and kick land on both combatants. None of them look like they have the upper hand until Jaune knocks back Adam onto the steering wheel which causes the jet to dive, thus making it into a aerial battle and causing Jaune to lose his shield. After Adam kicks Jaune away, he moves himself closer towards the wheel and activates the ships autopilot. Once leveled he pulls out his pistol and lectures to Jaune.
"You could have the power of the Gods!" He says as he shoots at Jaune "Yet you wear a flag on your chest and think you fight a battle of nations!" He says as he fires again "I have seen the future Captain! There are no flags!" He says as he fires once more
"Not my future!" Jaune states as he lunges for his shield and protect himself from another beam. After doing so, he tosses his shield with all of his might at Adam and hits him, causing Adam to fly back into the main power supply and damaging the jets power.
"…What have you done?" Adam asks as he gets up and reaches for the power source. Holding the cube, it releases its power and reveals the cosmos all around them.
"Ooooo Pretty!" Ruby says with stars in her eyes as the rest of them look on with awe
However unaware of its true purpose, the cube begins to burn Adam, absorbing him into pure energy.
"AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Adam screams out in agony as he disappears in a flash. Leaving the cube in his place.
Jaune, trying to figure out what just happened, decides to think on that later and instead focuses on the plane. He reaches the pilot seat and looks at a radar seeing that their target was New York first and that he has only an hour left before it reaches them. Knowing what he has to do, he activates the radio.
"Come in. This is Captain Arc. Do you read me?" He says
"Captain Arc, what is your… Jaune is that you? Are you alright?" he hears Pyrrha interrupting the corpral
He silently chuckles at her antics.
"Pyrrha, Adams Dead!"
"What about the plane?" She asks
Oh how he wished that she didn't ask that.
"Why wouldn't he want her to ask that?" Ruby asks
"…I don't know" Blake responds gaining a bad feeling in her gut
"That's a little bit tougher to explain." He replies with a deep sadness
"…Give me your coordinates. I'll find you a safe landing sight." Pyrrha says to me
He looks to the status monitor and notices that 5 propellers are down as well as a jet turbine.
"There's not going to be a safe landing…but I can try and force it down." He says with a strong voice that is a moment away from breaking into sadness
"No…please…not again…I don't want him to die!" Ruby says as tears start to flow once more. The others don't say anything but their tears that slowly slide down their faces speaks volumes.
"I-I-I'll get Oobleck on the line. He'll know what to do." Pyrrha tries to say with confidence but ends up having her voice shaking a bit
"There's not enough time. This thing is moving too fast and it's heading for New York…I got to put her in the water." He says
"Please, don't do this. we have time. We can work it out." Pyrrha says with a little desperation in her voice.
Team RWBY is seen blowing their noses as well as cleaning their eyes as they each receive a box of tissue courtesy of one of the repair bots.
"Right now, I'm in the middle of nowhere. IF I wait any longer, a lot of people are going to die… Pyrrha…this is my choice." He says as he grabs his watch, opening it to reveal a picture of Pyrrha. Wanting to do this before his resolve breaks, he pushes the wheel forward causing the Jet to dive towards the frozen earth filled with ice and snow.
"Pyrrha?" Jaune asks wanting to hear her voice
"I'm here" She replies
"…I'm gonna need a rain check on that dance I promised." He says trying to remember all of the good times he spent with her as the ground comes closer and closer hoping and praying that he somehow survives this.
"…Alright…a week, next Saturday, at the Stork Club." She says through a sobbing laugh
"You got it." He says
"8 o'clock on the dot. Don't you dare be late. Understood?" She says trying to be brave
"…you know, I still don't know how to dance." He says to try and lighten the mood
"…ill show you how. Just Please be there." She says
"…Well have the band play something slow…I wouldn't want to step on your…"
BOOM
The screen turns dark.
"…is it over? Does that mean Jaune's dead." Ruby asks
"I guess so." Yang replies moving to get up, only for Blake to stop her.
"Wait…I hear something." She says
Although the screen still shows black the sounds of a radio plays in the background. It then shows Jaune slowly waking up and moving his body to sit upright.
"UGH, my Heart can't Take anymore drama. Either stay alive or stay dead, enough with this universe leading us on like this" Yang yells as her eyes turn red and flames start lo lick the chairs.
Listening to the radio about a baseball game, he instantly knows somethings wrong.
"What? How can he possibly know that?" Weiss asks
Hearing the door open he turns his head to see someone entering the room
"Good morning…Or should I say afternoon?" The women spoke.
"Where am i?" Jaune asks in slight wariness
"You're in a recovery room in New York City" She replies
"…Where am I really?" He asks a bit harshly
"I'm afraid I don't understand." She replies with a smile
"The Game. It's from May 1941. I know because I was there." He replies getting to the point
"OH SNAP, Jaunes been KIDNAPED!" Yang exclaims
The women pale's dramatically as she pushes a hidden button behind her shirt.
"Now I'm not going to ask you again…Where am i?" He says as he gets up and looms over her threateningly
"Captain Arc…" She says trying to calm him down
"Who Are You!" He yells at her only to see 2 men in black armor with guns enter the room. Jaune not knowing the difference between the WF and these men decided to beat them up and toss them through a wall only to reveal that the room was fake.
"Captain Arc Wait!" The woman shouts but he ignores her and runs through another set of doors.
"Run Jaune, Run!" Ruby exclaims not wanting him to remain captured
Running down the hall he hears the woman's voice echoing off the walls "All Agents, Code 13! I Repeat All Agents Code 13!" he hears and notices just about everyone start to face him and try to stop him. He runs as fast as he can and exits out of the building. Nearly having a car run into him he starts to run down the street when he notices that the cars look different. By doing so he realizes that he needs to know where he's going so looks up only to start slowing down at what he sees.
"OH" Weiss says as her eyes widen in shock
"MY" Blake says next triggering her Faunus ears so much that her bow fell behind her revealing them to the world
"OUM" Yang says as she looks at everything that she can in shocked awe.
"GRACIOUS" Ruby yells with fireworks exploding in her eyes from what she's seeing.
Buildings that stretch to the heavens, Music that is foreign to him but is catchy, talking build boards af many items, people walking with square objects that they talk into. Were they phones? Because last he checked, phones were on the walls, not small and compact like a walkie talky.
"At ease soldier!" An African American man yelled to Jaune as he slowly walks up. His black trench coat flows behind him while his eyes are of dark chocolate brown, or I should say eye due to him wearing an eye patch.
"Whoa… he looks both cool and intimidating." Ruby says
"Doesn't he look like Ozpin but younger…and taller…and black?" Blake asks
"Look, I'm sorry about that little show back there, but we thought it was best to break it to you slowly." He says with a calm, understanding voice.
"Break what" Jaune says with some kind of inkling to what all this was about
"…You've been asleep Cap…for nearly 70 years" The man says bluntly
Jaunes thoughts become chaotic as he takes in his surroundings. Memories flash before him but one memory shines brighter than the rest.
"You going to be ok?" The man asks Jaune
"…Yeah, Yeah I just…" he says as he looks at the memory of a smiling Pyrrha "I had a date."
The screen turns off and the lights turn on.
"Sooo, what did you guys think?" AIDA asks
"IT was really good. I'm just sad that he won't be able to see Pyrrha again since he somehow was asleep for 70 years." Ruby says
"Yea, talk about needing some beauty rest. He must be gorgeous now." Yang says as she streaches her back
A Green glow appears behind them signaling that the portal has been fixed, leaving all of the repair bots to crawl back into the hatch.
"Welp, it looks like you guys can head on back now. Showing 2 universes is very draining so im going to have to recharge for at least 16 hours." AIDA says with a tired voice.
"That's ok…thanks for showing us these universes to us. I think we have a lot to think about." Blake says with a smile
"No problem…Oh if you can, bring me about 30 lbs. of steel and some AA batteries please." AIDA says to them as they all leave
"You got it Buddy." Ruby says with a thumb up.
Team RWBY leave through the portal one by one, leaving AIDA to his thoughts
'…Buddy. I think I like that.' He thinks with a smile before putting himself into hibernation mode.
MAN, THIS TOOK ME FOREVER! But I'm glad that I finally finished it. I have to say, this might be one of my greatest chapters I have ever written since its about near 10,000 words.
Anyways, I'm going to take a bit of a break, but I wanted your guys' opinion on which chapter to do next. Should I continue the story with The Avengers or should I switch to the tale of the Book of Life?
Ill leave it up to you by voting for which one but it will only be open until the 14, which will be the day I start writing it so vote now.
