Chapter 49: Father and Son Bonding
"What do mean, Jacob? Did you kill someone by accident or did you actually murder someone?" Keaton asked, hoping that it isn't the second one.
"I did murder two people," Jacob said.
Everyone stood in silence at Jacob's unexpected confession.
"Mr. Gordon, could you tell us what had happened and why you did what you did," Ozpin asked.
A long and hesitated silence had passed until Jacob spoke.
"Ruby. Yang. Remember how I told you about my dad being a serial killer and a Neo Nazi?" he asked.
"And also raped your mother which resulted in your mother being sent to a mental hospital for almost killing your baby sister, yes," Yang said.
"Wait, you dad is a what and a what?" Ricky asked.
"And he did what to your mother?!" Velvet asked in shock.
"Your father is a Nazi?" Blake asked.
"Our dad, Victor Gordon was responsible for several murders all around the city of Detroit because of his views on Jews, Gypsies, African-Americans, homosexuals, Mexicans, pretty much anyone who is not of Aryan origin" Keaton said.
"I'm afraid I do not understand what all of that means," Penny said.
"It means his father is a huge racist and a disgusting pig," Weiss said.
"Oh," Penny said.
"Well the story goes a bit deeper because I was the only one in the family who knew about him being a murderous Neo Nazi before he was exposed," Jacob said.
"What?" Keaton asked, not expecting that.
"It all started four years ago," Jacob said.
Flashback
Earth
Detroit, Michigan, USA
June 28, 2016
"My dad one day called me and wanted to have a talk with me," Jacob narrated.
Jacob walks up to a man who was sitting on a chair. The man was muscular and had a shaved head and blue eyes. He wore black shoes, blue pants and a black leather jacket with a white undershirt.
"Hey, Jacob. Glad to see you here, boy," Victor said.
"What is it, Dad?" Jacob asked.
"Jacob, it's time I talk to you about the family tradition," Victor said.
"Tradition?" Jacob asked.
"Yes, follow me to the car, son," Victor said.
"On the way outside the city, he told me that what he does is that he 'wipes the filth' away from the city and is trying to the same for the rest of the world. I didn't understand what he meant by that I thought he was talking about cleaning the streets or something like that," Jacob narrated.
Victor and Jacob both walked up to an old warehouse where they heard voices inside. As they both walked inside Jacob was shocked to see what he saw next. He saw a crowd of people and some red banners, each with a swastika on them. Victor took off his jacket showing off a tattoo of a swastika on his left arm.
"White power!" he shouted as he stuck his right hand out in the air.
"White power!" the crowd all chanted as they too stuck their right hands out in the air.
"Wait, what's going on?" Jacob asked.
"Son, you and I are the only perfect whites in the family. So it's time I teach you what we do," Victor said with a smile.
Jacob then realises the his father is a Neo Nazi and this was a Nazi rally. Victor walks up to the stage to greet everyone.
"Welcome, everyone," he greeted as the crowd cheered.
"I'm glad to see you all back here again. Now let's get down to business. Race mixing, a disgusting ideal to all cultures. It is the destruction of all humanity. It is a curse to use all. And those people that love those Jews, n*****s, f*****s, and all those imperfections out there, they think it's all okay, but it's not!" Victor said.
Jacob could not believe what he was hearing from his own father.
"We have a special treat for you all today. Bring them out here," Victor ordered somebody off the stage.
Just then, three Neo Nazies pulled a family of four up on the stage. The mother and son were black skinned while the father and daughter were white skinned. The crowd then jeered in disgust at the family while calling them a series of racial slurs.
"This white man here decided to marry and fuck this n*****, to which she spawned these two disgusting abominations," Victor said.
Victor then pulls out a pistol and shoots the mother and father in their heads, killing them instantly.
"Mommy! Daddy!" the children cried.
Jacob could only watch in horror as he watched his own father kill someone right in front of him.
"Jacob, come up here," Victor said. Jacob was hesitant as he slowly walked up to the stage with his father.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like you all to meet my son, Jacob Gordon," Victor introduced to the crowd as they cheered.
Victor put the gun in Jacob's hand and what he heard next made his blood run cold.
"Shoot the kids, son," he whispered in his ear.
"What?" Jacob asked.
"These people need to be made an example of," Victor said.
"I can't do this," Jacob said.
"Come on son. It's easy. It's like ripping off a band aid," Victor said.
"This isn't right, Dad," Jacob said.
"Listen you little shit, you do as you are told or so help me, nobody will ever find you again," Victor threatened.
"I don't care what you do to me. I won't do it," Jacob protested.
"Then if you don't, you mother and brother will die," Victor threatened.
Jacob didn't want anything to happen to his Keaton and his mother. He slowly raised the gun and pointed it at the frightened children.
"I'm so sorry," Jacob mouths to the kids.
"Do it," Victor whispered in his ear.
Jacob then fires a round at each child, killing them. The crowd of Neo Nazies then cheered at their deaths while Victor smiled in satisfaction. Jacob tried his best not to cry or shed a tear.
Flashback End
"And the worst part was that I witnessed him… do some things to the bodies like cutting their heads off, cutting them open, and... other shit that was so disturbing that I don't think you guys want to know what the they were. I guess some of those images that I saw from that day must have made me tell you to do all those things that I told you to do to the White Fang back at the Emerald Forest. After that, I made many excuses to make sure I didn't go back to another Nazi rally. My dad gave me many threats that if I told anyone about this, I'd never see Keaton and my mom again," Jacob finished.
Everyone was in complete silence after Jacob told them his story. Jacob could only bow his head in sorrow.
"Jacob? Jacob, are you okay?" Ruby asked.
Jacob collapsed on his hands and knees and broke down on the floor crying. Keaton ran up to Jacob and hugged him in comfort.
"I'm... I'm sorry," Jacob sobbed.
"Hey, it's okay. It's okay," Keaton said, rubbing his back.
Pyrrha had tears roll down her cheeks as Jaune wrapped his arm around her in comfort. Glynda wiped a tear away from her eye before anyone noticed. Ironwood could only look at Jacob in sympathy while Qrow drank from his flask, hoping to forget all the gruesome details.
"Your father sounds even worse than my father," Weiss said.
"Who the heck makes their own child kill other innocent children?" Sun asked in disbelief.
"A total monster, that's what," Coco said.
"Forget breaking Jacob's dad's legs. I'll break his everything!" Nora shouted as she had tears roll down her angry face.
"For once, I agree with you, Nora," Ren said.
"Jacob, we didn't know," Kelly said.
"We're sorry," Allen said.
"Mr. Gordon, words cannot describe how sorry we all are for you. Nobody should ever have to go through that," Ozpin said.
"Maybe it's probably best you sit this one out," Glynda said.
"I... I guess... so," Jacob chokes out.
"Stop by my office tomorrow and we can discuss your... family drama," Ozpin said.
"Alright," Jacob said as his brother pulled him up off the floor.
"You may all go now," Glynda said.
All the students then started to leave the Vault.
A few minutes later RWBY, JNPR, GRMA, and CFDT all walked back to their dorms. Just before Jacob could walk inside a hand grabs his shoulder. He turns around to see Britney.
"Britney, I-" Jacob was cut off as Britney hugs him.
"You don't have to say anything," she said.
Jacob was surprised at first, but then hugs her back in return. The two stood like this for a few minutes.
Cinder's Dorm Room
Meanwhile back in Cinder's dorm room, Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, and Neo are all talking about teams GRMA and CFDT's involvement in their plans.
"And finally, Kendra Tanner of Team CFDT," Emerald said, typing the name in her scroll.
"And?" Cinder asked.
"Same as the others, nothing," Emerald answered.
"Hm, no history and no background. They certainly are a mystery," Cinder said.
"They won't be participating in the tournament," Emerald said.
"That's a shame. I wanted to take at least one of them on," Mercury said as Neo rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"It won't matter. They don't seem to suspect us of our plans," Cinder said.
Author's Note: I will be trying to update to this fanfic a little faster and earlier then usual. Reason for this is because I'll be writing up plans and ideas for the squeal to RWBY and Earth which won't be released until somewhere after the release of RWBY: Before the Dawn which won't be released until July 21, 2020. Yes, I know I sound like I'm rushing this, but I want this to be on schedule until then.
