Alright here's another chapter of slayer. Grimm eclipse mini-arc that will last two chapters in total. I also had quite the unique guest reviewer who wanted to talk bad and personally insult me and respond to a reader of the story. This will be the only time I address you so I hope your reading!
LiquidusSnake: Wow such a toxic answer to a genuine question. The technical answer as to why so many people use Jaune as a protagonist is that since his backstory/home life isn't known he is a perfect patient zero character to fabricate our own versions of his prior life to beacon. I use Jaune because of the above reason but also because he is the easiest RWBY character to change. The only other main male protag in RWBY is Ren and he's just not as changeable as Jaune, so Jaune is used more often. I use Jaune and not Ren because Ren himself just doesn't fit the bill with the stories I make. It's a personal preference in all honesty. Also I love arkos so I need Jaune to be front in center for my stories for the pairing to happen. Like I said before when it comes to using Jaune, he's a very adaptable character where you can very easily change his backstory to fill in for whatever role you need him to be, while with Ren you nearly almost always need to have Nora paired with him or she can't be in the story among other issues. Huge writers on the site such as ANZDRGN, Couer Al Aran, Laughing Lefou, SparkyDapperDab and Blaiseingfire also use Jaune as a central protagonist. He is not a self insert, if I wanted to do that I'd just make my own OC and blatantly state that he's a self insert. I don't need self-satisfaction or a power fantasy in writing a self insert to feel better about myself because I write this story basically as a parody of Doom and RWBY to have fun and make something that my readers love, it puts a smile on my face when a reviewer talks about how awesome the story is or how great a fight scene was because I take time out of my life to make this fic. Jaune is unstoppable just like the Doom Slayer, I have him paired with Pyrrha because Arkos forever and Yang as well because I wanted to try a different pairing with the three of them and also because a reviewer suggested it. The real little bitch here is an anonymous reviewer who doesn't have the balls to make an account, post this review or DM personally. I delete blatant hating/non-criticizing reviews because they are toxic but you were a special exception when you came after one of my readers. I did answer Death300043 question and he appreciated my response and reasoning. Now that this little rant is done, kindly take your toxicity elsewhere and don't bother me or my readers, have a pleasant day.
Apologies for that word vomit, now on to the chaos!
Jaune trudged through the Forever Fall forest, the all too familiar red growth dead silent as he held his heavycannon close. His newly acquired chaingun was strapped to his back, mechashifted to be more compact for carrying, the supershotgun always holstered to his hip. The Slayer was ready for war as he always was eyes scanning across the serene yet lethal forest.
"Communications test, Mr. Arc do you read me?" Ozpin voiced over the radio equipped to Jaune's helmet.
"Loud and clear dickhead. I'm not a fan of you adding stuff to my armor. Especially this camera." Jaune growled out tapping the side of his helm as a lone Beowolf lunged from the brush right at the Slayer. He kept his eyes forward casually ramming his right fist into the beast's throat not even acknowledging it's dying breath as he tore its esophagus out throwing the gore over his shoulder still marching toward the mission area.
Ozpin muted his microphone chuckling at the display rubbing his eyes with a smile. Glynda stood over his shoulder still puzzled by the actions of her superior.
"Headmaster...You said that this mission's purpose was to teach Mr. Arc restraint yet he butchered that Grimm like he always does. I'm confused and quite baffled by this." Ozpin shifted his eyes over to her nodding with his colleague's statement.
"Of course Glynda. That's what the mission is supposed to be, Mr. Arc learning restraint, but tell me do you really think he would listen to me? Of all people? The boy hates me nearly just as much as Salem and will do the exact opposite as I tell him. That's why I sent him on this mission because I suspect Merlot is still alive and kicking, conducting his experiments at Forever Fall." Gylnda's eyes widened in realization.
"You want him to destroy everything...You WANT Mr. Arc to show no restraint to ensure Merlot is never a threat again!" Ozpin gave her a knowing look smiling turning his attention back to the screen.
"Glynda if you could do me a favor, send teams JNPR and RWBY up here I think they'd enjoy seeing their teammate conduct his mission. Oh, and order some refreshments and food from the cafeteria, it'll be like a small watch party." Opzin held up his mug making Glynda sigh nodding already contacting RWBY and JNPR.
Jaune found himself standing outside what looked like a man-made facility kicking down the door without hesitation, cannon held tight against his shoulder scanning the interior intently.
'This mission has been complete ass so far. Only dealt with some fodder Grimm and finding an abandoned facility. I better run into something cool or I'm gonna be pissed.' Jaune huffed lowering his guard going deeper inside, narrowing his eyes at seeing a green light rapidly approaching him.
'The fuck is that?' He aimed his weapon at the approaching object to see that it was a green glowing Creeper.
'Oh for fucks sake really?! The literal bottom of the food chain of Grimm. No sense in wasting ammo.' He shouldered his weapon rearing back a fist and sending it right into the tiny Grimm's snout only to be sent flying back bursting through a wall from a powerful explosion
"What the fuck was that?!" Jaune audibly groaned sitting back up not sustaining any damage but head ringing from the burst looking at where he had struck the Grimm only to see gore and a burn mark on the floor.
'Ok, don't hit the green glowing Creepers with melee. Don't want to see myself getting blown the fuck up again.' He got back to his feet seeing that the sound had gathered the attention of even more Creepers. Jaune let out a torrent of gunfire down the hall spraying bullets at the oncoming suicide Grimm causing a chain reaction after hitting multiple ones simultaneously shaking the facility.
'Well fuck me that was pretty awesome. Now let's go a bit deeper down this rabbit hole.'
Back at Beacon Ozpin was sitting hn his chair sipping at another cup of coffee while RWBY and JNPR sat on two couches watching the screen intently as Goodwitch levitated the snacks onto her boss's desk before sitting down herself.
"Whoa! Brutal Jaune! I've never seen exploding creepers before have you headmaster?!" Nora scarfed down a handful of popcorn chewing away at the salty treat while her teacher shook his head at her question.
"No I have not. And I believe that creeper was not a natural Grimm, but one that was experimented on. Let us continue our viewing and I'll answer more of your questions as Mr. Arc investigates."
Jaune was much deeper in the building looking at the dusty consoles in confusion seeing test tubes all over the place and ripped wiring everywhere.
'Looks like a testing lab. Was someone testing on fucking Grimm? Why? What sort of twisted fuck would want to use Grimm? They're already a pain in the ass why make them even more annoying?' He shook his head coming upon a large open area that looked like a combat arena complete with an old viewing platform that was high aobe wit the glass window's broken in jagged pieces.
"GRAAHH!" The slayer turned his head to the left at a bulging door that continued to bulge outward until a massive paw tore the metal apart stepping through making him raise an eyebrow in interest and surprise.
'Alright, that's the biggest fucking Beowolf I've ever seen and it's glowing green too. Let's send a round to it's chest to see if it explodes.' He fired off a single round making the mutated Grimm stumble before it continued it's march toward him. Jaune slightly nodded his head stowing away the cannon and colliding his fists together.
"I prefer using my hands anyway. Let's go glowy!" He roared at the apex Beowolf, the Grimm standing taller than even a Grimm Knight and bulging with muscle mass like a Beringel. He drew back his fist crashing it into the Grimm's torso making it whine in pain but still remain standing making the Slayer raise an eyebrow in surprise.
'Looks like this asshole is a bit tougher than expected. Doesn't matter, let's rip him apart!' He came forward more serious than before jumping to the side out of the way from an overcommitted slash only to grip the extended arm and drive his elbow and knee into the large limb in unison compltetly bending the part in two different directions forcing the bone through skin. The Beowolf fell to it's knees cradling it's ruined arm not noticing that Jaune was now behind it. The Slayer brought both his hands around it's head and twisted violently spinning the Grimm's head back at him snapping it's neck completely. The corspe fell with a dull thud, the Beowolf's head facing it's own back staring at the ceiling fading away.
'Not gonna lie, that Beowolf was much more entertaining than normal ones but it's still a fodder Grimm. Need something with a bit more meat to it, more of a punch.
"Wow. He took down the strange Beowolf like it was nothing. Even though it withstood one of his punches and still fodderized it. Impressive even though he still fights like a savage." Weiss commented picking away at a piece of cheese watching on in curiosity. Yang hollered loving to see her man in action while Pyrrha smiled on cheering just as much.
"Now now students, he hasn't even finished the mission yet. We need to see more. Mr. Arc, find the exit to the facility and let us see what lies on the other side."
"Fine fuckface. Moving." Jaune's words made his friends double take looking at Ozpin only to see him smile and shake his head.
"He speaks like this regularly to me so it doesn't bother me. Though I wish he would come up with more creative insults."
"I heard that! Da prevratyatsya tvoi ushi v zasrantsy i sran' tebe na plechi!" This made Ozpion recoil back eyes wide as saucers completely taken aback by the insult.
"Professor? What did he say?" Ruby tilted her head and the Headmaster coughed into his hand.
"A curse in an ancient language...A very vulgar one at that...I will not say anything further..." Ozpin's hand shook as he brought his mug to his lips still reeling from the absurd curse.
Jaune smirked at the betrayers reaction walking out of the arena finding sunlight. He stepped out seeing a harbor with a large ship anchored next to the port. TheSlayer picked up his pace only to stop when a sudden flash of red came into his view and across him stood an imposing ten foot floating robot, looking to be much more advanced than anything Atlas or Beacon had.
'Ok...looks like robo boy here is a bit on the higher end.' Jaune parried aside it's initial slash countering with an elbow to it's shoulder joint forcing oil out of the fresh hole he made. The machine didn't stop wheeling around with speed akin to Pyrrha dragging it's blade across his armored chest only for it to snap in half as it reached the center of the praetor suit chest plate. It looked at it's broken weapon in confusion not paying attention to the threat in front fo it.
"Get the hell back to the scrap heap sparky!" Jaune yelled wrenching his fist into it's abdomen tearing out a bundle of wire making the bot explode into flames. More popped in seemingly out of nowhere surrounding the Arc, creating a 5 on 1 fight. Jaune slowly reached back for his heavy cannon gripping it's handle and brushing his other hand against his supershotgun. The drones surged forward, the fastest one stabbed forward with blindlyng speed but not fast enough earning a gut full of buckshot shattering into pieces, drone two produced a massive mace swinging it down on the Arc intent on pummeling him to the ground. Jaune whipped around quickly holstering his shotgun and catching the weapon in one breaking off the robots hand and smashing the mace into the side of it's head beheading it completely. The final three rushed in unison making Jaune smile chucking the mace aside stowing his cannon away and reaching behind for his chaingun. He stood in place for a moment before pressing the shifting button bringing the weapon into siege mode letting a quick but unending torrent of fire into the robots ripping them into nothing but scrap and oil leaving not a trace behind. Jaune shifted his weapon back to carrying mode slinging it onto his back.
"BWOMMMM!" The ships horn sounded off making the Slayer curse seeing a random bullhead fly overhead with a shipping container. He leapt up to the flying container breaking the latch and throwing himself inside closing it behind him taking a seat letting out a breath.
'Well looks like it's the waiting game until this thing takes me where I need to go.' Jaune thought lying on his back closing his eye.' Ozpin tried to contact but the connection was fuzzy, only able to see Jaune's last video transmission ass he entered the container.
"Heck yeah Jaune! Good to see all that work making those bullets paid off!" Ruby squealed in triumph making her sister pull her down giving the Rose a good natured noogie.
"Good work weapons geek! That's my little sister! Though his video getting cut off was a little concerning..." Yang trailed off making Ozpin answer her.
"It is a bit alarming but considering we saw him completely unharmed and well, we should be able to contact him once he arrives at whatever location he is being taken to. No need for alarm and we must simply wait." Pyrrha bit her lip glancing over at Yang with a worried look. The brawler locked eyes with her smiling bright giving Pyrrha a thumbs up and a silent message.
'Don't worry, he's gonna be fine.'
PYrrha looked away staring at the blank screen still uncertain.
'I hope you're right Yang.'
So this chapter was actually supposed to be at least a thousand plus words longer but unfortunately, my computer reset so I lost all of what I had written. The next chapter will start with Jaune arriving at Merlot's island. Let's see some reviews, I'm seriously so mad right now that I lost all that writing.
