Chapter 21: "Interlude" Pt. 2
Hey guys, long time. Now while I promised to have Terminator 2 up, I got a lot of pm's regarding the audience's reaction to Alice's revelation. So, here we are. Like always: Reviews!
BagusJoy: I do want to try the hitman's bodyguard at some point, but it would be awhile if I do. Got a lot of movies to filter through.
jc-montanorock: I have about 3 different 'last stands' scenarios in the works: Halo, Star Trek, and Halo again but in with a different setting. Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge with Undertale so I can't, sorry.
warrior of six blades: Oz is rather secretive like that, and I think that it makes sense. He was wandering around for centuries, so he probably has trouble believing in the conviction of people after so long of seeing people going back on their words. Glad you liked watching Jaune with his team and Alice joining the ranks.
keybladelight: Since I'm working on going over all of the Iron Man movies, along with the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy ones, I think I'll be quite done with Marvel for awhile. Thank you though for the suggestions. Haven't read the first one in a long time (favorite part for me was when Blake and Sun dined & dashed), but someone else made a reaction out of that one: "Jaune Arc's Multiverse" by LazerWolf1. You should read it, it's really funny! The second one is more focused on Whitley than Jaune so I don't think I'll be reacting on it, but the premise is rather interesting.
Valerious Lake: Yeah, some people did mention that. I do have plans for a gender bent Jaune, but like Alice, it won't be what people would think.
Argus456: It would be weird at first, yes. And you know Pyrrha would do something like that.
Guest: Gravity Falls huh? Hmm, I'll have to look into that later.
Wolfang21: You know, you raise an interesting point. Since Alice isn't Jaune's kid by blood she won't be getting powers like the last two. Gonna have to think of something up, but I don't think I'll be going the American McGee's route. First off, haven't played the game so I don't know what powers she has; and second, Semblances are manifestations of the soul, so with her loving family I don't think Alice would be crazy like the other one would no doubt be. As for the request, I'm not a huge fan of musicals. I mostly steer away from them so I'm sorry but I won't be doing the movie.
Dragongod54: Never watched the anime before, so I'll have to watch that before I can give a proper answer about that. At least the animation isn't all jacked up like with Jojo so I won't feel creeped out trying to watch it.
10792083: Well I had to do something different, if I tried to make her kinder then she'd just be a mini Yang and Raven would leave her as well. With Robin as she is, Raven wouldn't be as much a bitch since she'll see her daughter as strong (and growing up with her mom would have some of her strong personality rubbed off on her). Plus, she's such a hard ass to the others because they are complete strangers and past enemies to her beloved father. Remember how her sister forced her to open up? Altani only had to mention how upset their dad would be if she was rude to them, and she immediately caved in.
Arcanus the scribe: Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm good. I'm honestly trying to branch out from Marvel due to having almost half of the movies of the MCU planned (I think 10 out of 23-4 right now), so I want to go to other places of interest. I do hope you understand.
jessealvarez360: And miss out on all the hilarious/awkward moments?! Not a chance XD But I'm not a cruel guy, those too young to witness the more lewd stuff would be magically placed inside their little playpen where they would be completely oblivious to the mature content. Also, where's the fun be if I made specific orbs to hold the more erotic scenes? Didn't do that when I made that holiday special, plus I could get more creative when I do the reactions since no one would expect to see them.
Guest: Not a huge fan of musicals, sorry.
Guest: Well, that was just to show the audience how Jaune was willing to let Weiss go as a crush (keep in mind that that was a possible scenario, not a done deal). Weiss still has a chance, especially with how she won't be mean to him anymore.
WearyCurmudgeon: Nora seeing Ren as a brother is more to show how she felt when they first entered Beacon. With her constantly saying that they're "together, but not together-together", she had convinced herself that it was true. She would not have more deeper feelings for him until later on, which is now. Never did point out when the flashback was so that one's on me, forgot to put down that it was about a month into their first semester. Jus early enough for her feelings to not change, but late enough for her to be comfortable around Jaune.
Guest: That's the plan, they'll see Jaune go full Hollow mode, "Vasto Lorde".
Guest: Got a scenario where Salem and Ozpin switch roles, sort of anyway.
bagus joy t: Listened to the song, and I don't think I'll be reacting to it. I'm actually a bit worried for the singer to be honest. Still a great song though.
464315: Never liked rap music to be honest.
Reader: I am thinking of Yu Gi Oh, but only in the earlier seasons and it's not concrete yet. Pokémon does have more merit though. Pikachu was always adorable and having the little lightning rodent be with the audience could only be good (I don't want to imagine what Nora or Chibi Blake would do if either got their hands on the little guy).
LastPenis: I just type 'Celtic Song' in the search engine in YouTube and click on something that looks promising. It's really just guesswork, sorry if the answer isn't exciting. I do recommend you listen to "fill-iú oro hú ó", "Mo Ghille Mear", and "Óró Sé do Bheatha Bhaile". The first is just beautiful, but I could never find the lyrics while the second had some lyrics but isn't complete; and both are just awesome! I have a couple more, but they are mostly English with Celtic themes: "The Longing" and "Over the Hills and Far Away", both done by Patty Gurdy. Some of these I'm planning on using, along with others, but which ones I'll be keeping close to the chest.
Glad everyone liked the last chapter, plenty of positive feedback from Alice claiming Glynda as her mom. Now, onto the story!
Disclaimer in the prologue.
After her unexpected announcement, everything became quiet. No one could say anything, it was like their brains had shut down from shock.
The only one who wasn't affected was Alice, who was currently poking Glynda's cheek, worried over why her momma wasn't giving her the love like she got just a few seconds ago. "Momma..." Alice said with an adorable pout as she poked her mom's cheek harder to get her to respond. That seemed to do the trick, only it was for the wrong person.
Tyrian, after rebooting his brain, started to laugh uncontrollably.
The sound of his crazed laughter managed to snap everyone out of it. Some, like Raven and Coco, followed the guy's example and laughed as well; while others, like Pyrrha and Ruby, paled as Alice's words finally registered in their heads.
Nora cheered for Jaune "Bagging another one!" with Ren trying desperately to get his friend to shut up, less she incur the wrath the was about to come.
The ones Jaune 'bagged' felt great satisfaction over one of the most critical in them bedding a much younger man now being in the same boat as them. All of them smirked as they hugged their children, 'Heh, you're one of us now.'
Most of the single men grumbled at how fucking lucky the kid is in snagging beautiful women.
The students were a bit mixed. Coco, as stated before, laughed her tight little ass off. Yang and Nora joining her. Weiss and Velvet looked scandalous as they gaped at the teacher. The others with crushes felt their hearts clench (and maybe their fists). The rest were just numb to all.
The new people looked around in confusion, seeing some of the others' reaction to the news and wondered if this was a normal occurrence. Poor fools.
Whitley wondered what the orange-haired girl was talking about, suddenly fearing for his mother for some reason. Willow, on the other hand, felt her heart beating in anticipation.
Glynda though... Once she became coherent, and heard the laughter, she unleashed the harshest glare she ever made. Most stopped on the spot upon seeing it, many shivering in fear as their lives flashed before their eyes. One or two may have even pissed a little, though that knowledge will go with them to their graves.
Tyrian though, didn't stop, and instead pointed a finger at her as he started to have trouble breathing.
Emerald and Neo, pale as a ghost from seeing the glare of death moving towards their section, quickly moved their daughters and themselves away from the mad Faunus, not willing to have the teacher's gaze anywhere near their families.
Cinder followed her followers' lead, picking up her now awake pet dragon as she slowly inched away. NOT because she was intimidated, of course not! She was just unwilling to stop her coworker from committing suicide. 'Yeah, let's go with that.' She hoped no one noticed the tiny stain in her seat.
Glynda blushed as she grinded her teeth together. "..." She simply growled at the man, the noise causing many to tremble.
*Pff* The dead man simply grinned at her, not noticing Hazel and Watts waving their in a final farewell. "Well, well, well~. Did the teacher do the dirty with one of her students?" He wagged a finger at her, his grin growing, and shook his head condescendly, "Shame on you, he trusted you." He giggled as he saw the child glare at him.
Jack looked at the guy with morbid curiosity, and leaned to whisper to Susanoo. "Who knew this guy was such a glutton for punishment?" Seriously dude, the fuck?
Glynda was this close to throwing Salem's pet towards a nearby pillar, 'Maybe through it if he doesn't stop', when something unexpected happened.
Alice, after seeing her momma seemingly wake up, immediately smiled as she thought that she would get her much deserved hugs and kisses now.
Then she heard the laughter.
Looking around, she noticed a lot of people laughing and tilted her head in confusion. She smiled and giggled along as she looked at them, wondering what was so funny.
Then the weird guy with scary smile pointed at her momma.
She didn't know why, but what he said next annoyed her a lot. Looking back to her momma, she saw the anger on her face and quickly pieced together what was happening. 'The bad man is bein mean to momma!' She tried glaring at the bad man to shut up, just like her sweet, innocent momma taught her (1), but quickly saw that that wasn't working. So instead, she reached inside her apron's pockets, searching for something that her papa gave her.
"Remember sweetie," she remembered her papa telling her as he gave her a present for her second birthday, "make sure to only use this when your momma is in danger." He winked at her and grinned. The thing she remembered was her momma repeatedly whacking him over the head with her crop as her grandpa chuckled in the background whilst eating the last slice of birthday cake.
'Pwotect momma!' She grabbed what she was searching for, and pulled them out. She looked at her little hands, and smiled as she saw a small black ball with weird squiggly lines on it (2), and a red slingshot shaped like a heart with the words Queen of Hearts etched on the handle.
Quickly, she loaded up her weapon and pulled back. With a shout of "Don make fun of momma!" she launched the ball at the Faunus.
Tyrian giggled when the brat glared at him. He blinked in surprise when she took out a slingshot from her pocket and aimed it at him. He was shocked when she yelled at him and shot a little black ball at him. He didn't know what happened next after the ball hit him and launched him backwards into several pillars, quickly smashing through them as he lost consciousness.
After the dust settled, everyone looked at the devastation the girl had made.
Many of the parents looked at the rubble with wide eyes, shocked and a bit horrified over a tiny little angel like her having such a dangerous weapon in her possession; those who knew her felt that Glynda had finally created a mini-me, only even more frightening; and most of the students gaped as they looked at the now smug child.
Jack grumbled at the mess the child made, but calmed down when his droid beeped and went to clean it up.
Salem, Qrow, Cinder, Raven, and Ozpin felt the power behind the ball, and grew concerned.
'Whatever that thing was, it was definitely powered by magic! Where the hell did that brat get that?!' The twins thought.
Cinder looked at the two-year-old with jealousy. 'Ok, that's just not fair!'
Oz and Salem wondered how a small child got such an innocent-looking weapon.
The children looked at the destruction with awe. Robin and Altani even went over to a now stiff Glynda.
Sienna's kid reached her first, and looked at a curious Alice. With a warm smile, she reached out and rubbed the top of her head just between her cute little kitten ears, earning a bright smile and little purr in response. "That's my baby sister." She softly cooed with pride, "you really are an Arc." The child just grinned with pride.
Robin quickly shoved her sister aside and looked at the pouting child. "Heh, you surprised me brat." She nodded in respect, knowing she did what she did for her mom, just like she would've done for hers. She then leaned down to lay a surprising gentle kiss on her forehead. "I'm very proud of you sis." She said as she backed away and the two went back to their moms, Altani glaring at her sister while trying to get rid of the dust on her Miko dress.
Alice smiled at the two nice ladies, and turned to her still shocked momma. "Momma, did I do good?" she asked and shyly snuggled into her chest as the mean man was no longer around.
Once more, Glynda was brought back to the present, and she looked at the snuggling girl with surprise. After a bit, she smiled and hugged her baby sister, 'No, daughter', with as much love and care as she could. "You did fantastic, sweetie. Absolutely fantastic." Her child giggling when she kissed the top of her little head.
The two then went over to the seat as Glynda gently stroked her daughter's long wavy hair.
"That was sooo cool." Nora whispered as she cooed at the destruction her niece made.
Ruby, Weiss, and Penny wondered where she got that weird ball from, and if they could use it for their own weapons.
"Man, she completely wrecked that guy." Coco grinned as Velvet gulped and nodded, the two looking at the twitching form of Tyrian.
Once the new family sat down, Glynda took the time to look at the damage her daughter did to the idiot. What she saw made her gulp and looked down at a now confused Alice as she softly patted her momma's tummy. "Sweetheart?" She asked in a gentle voice, causing Alice to look up, "Where did you get those... things?" As soon as she asked that, everyone looked to the child. They all wanted to know.
Alice looked at her momma as she wondered if she should tell her. She thought back to the day when her papa gave her, her present, and how he got his ass beaten as a result. She didn't want her papa to get hurt again, he was her papa!
Seeing her clear distress, Glynda softly said, "Ohhh, it's ok, shhh, you can tell me. I won't be mad at you, I promise."
Alice nodded, and was about to tell her, until she remembered what also happened that day. Her eyes narrowed as she remembered her grandpa taking the last slice of that yummy cake, the slice that her papa had saved just for her! Finding a way to get sweet vengeance, and knowing her various aunties would be proud of her, she smiled up at her momma and pointed to Ozpin, saying "Gwanpa!" in a cheery voice (3).
Everyone stilled, before they all turned to stare at the now pale Headmaster.
Ozpin gulped as Alice pointed at him, 'Did I really give her that thing?' Salem thought the same as her ex if the glare she sent him was any indication. 'How reckless can you be, you idiot?!' He wanted to deny it, truly he did, but there was no reason he could think of for Alice to lie, no explanation he could come up with that would make sense.
Which is fair, as far as he knew, he and Salem were the only ones left who could gift others magical items/powers in Remnant.
His friends were looking at him like he was an idiot; the students glared at him for potentially endangering such a sweet, innocent, little girl, the more protective of them even growling at the man; the parents mostly shook their heads at him in disappointment, though Raven looked like she actually approved; and the villains, the conscious ones anyway, felt that the old man had finally lost his Oum-damn mind.
"I-" Ozpin began to say, trying to defend himself, when a sudden ominous feeling swept over him, causing the man to freeze up in terror. He gulped, and slowly turned his head to where he felt aura of doom was coming from. There, he saw Glynda, giving him a glare so terrifying, that it dwarfed the one she just gave a few minutes ago. '...' He thought as he shook in mind-numbing fear.
Glynda gently picked up her child off her lap, and placed her in the arms of a shaking Summer Rose, silently 'requesting' her to look after her for a bit. Then she slowly rose to her feet, and like the angel of death, slowly walked over to a now slightly hyperventilating Ozpin. "Sir," she growled, earning a little whimper in response, "care to explain why you felt gifting my baby girl such a dangerous weapon was a good idea?" "N-Now G-Glynda-" "Silence!" The man jumped, along with everyone else. "You have 'till the count of three to run..."
Seeing how much trouble he was in, he took what time she gave him to haul his ass out of there. If he dared to look back, he would've noticed Glynda raising her crop in preparation. If he looked behind her, he would've also seen Alice with a satisfied smile.
Jack looked at Susanoo as Glynda unleashed her Semblance. "Aren't you gonna stop her?"
The man looked to his boss with the most serious expression he could, ignoring the pleas for help and shouts of pain, and shook his head. "Sir, I may be an unkillable being, but even I know when to call it quits."
Jack shrugged, "Fair enough." and the two went back to watching Ozpin getting the shit kicked out of him.
END
Welp, hope you enjoyed that. I really tried to keep this with the Terminator chapter, but I quickly found out that it was just too long for the merge to be feasible (of course, it's a bit short to be a regular chapter, oh well). I also originally wanted to have Qrow be the one to laugh at her, but after looking at the dialogue, I realized that he would never be such a dick to her. He's an ass, not a crazy person with a death wish. But Tyrian sure is~. Lastly, I left a little hint, can you guess what it is?
Anyway, I'll see you next time, peace!
1. Her mom's Glynda, you really think she wouldn't teach her little angel how to use her patented glare to get any unruly people to fall in line?
2. An obsidian stone that's been shaped into a small ball, with runes carved into it to make sure the user, Alice, never misses while also dealing massive damage on impact! If she has to protect her momma like her papa asked, then she'll need to have something with a big punch. I'm personally a huge fan of the volcanic rock, and there are plenty of places that use the rock for magical catalysts.
3. Man, little Alice is really into the April Fools spirit, huh!
