Here's my take on the universal theatre, nothing special.
And uuuuggggghhhhhh, literlary when I was nearly done, BLUE SCREEN OF FRICKING DEATH! And I was back to a measly 3k word count.
Anyway, all characters used here are from either Rooster Teeth or from other fanfiction creators. Props to them for making an entirely new genre.
I made a reference to another fanfiction writer, it should be blaringly obvious who so uh... I take no credit!
So, Imma be real here and say it once again. I defilently ain't the best at writing stories...or banter...or reactions-ah screw it. I try my best ok!
Oh yeah, I'm 14 now so that's a thing. Happy 2021!
Welp, that's all for now my little Arclings, welcome to the new chapter.
Inspiration: Magi The Kingdom of Magic
Just another day at Beacon, and a rather slow one at that. Team RWBY and team JNPR were just in the middle of a much anticipated lesson with Glynda's combat class after a long lecture from Port.
However the entertainment they have recieved today was something far from what anyone was expecting.
A yellow petal reminiscent of "Golf It" portals had engulfed our beloved characters into a theatre.
Understandably they-
"The heck is this?!" Yang yelled out in the theatre.
"The heck is that?!" Ruby points to a hooded figure looking at them from atop a stage with a screen behind it.
"Wait where is Jaune?!" Pyrrha turns her head in an alarmed manner.
-are rather confused about the situation.
"Ah." The figure reacts at Jaune's name "Do not fear. Your friend is perfectly safe, frozen in time, nothing can happen to him."
"Frozen in time? Explain yourself and remove your hood!" Weiss instantly attempts to reach for Myrtenaster.
The figure hesitates before responding.
"If it puts you at ease." The figure's voice itself was a deep male voice, however it did not command for intimidation nor had much oomph to it, the figure removes the hood to reveal a blank face of an older, gruffer Jaune. Think of The Question from DC comics as a comparison.
"Y-your face...its!" Ruby seemed to be afraid of the faceless Jaune and tensed up.
"I assume you all now realise why I wear this hood then?" The Faceless Jaune put the hood back up and shadowed his face once again "I believe explanations are due, but before that I must thank you, Ren. You have used your semblance to calm down your friends, for that I am grateful."
"..." Ren's eyes stayed narrowed suspicious yet did not make any movements that suggested a hostile action.
"So! Where are we and what was that yellow portal?" Weiss commanded as she moved closer to The figure, placing the tip just under his neck "Take us back immediately."
"Of course." The figure seemed unfazed at the blade "In due time I shall. However there is an incredibly important message I must send you. Do not worry, no matter how much time passes here, it will not affect you or your universe."
"Universe?" Blake treads up to the figure and lowers Weiss's blade "Weiss, I checked the clock feature on my scroll, time isn't moving somehow so it's either a really elaborate trick or this..."
"Ah forgive me. Call me Jay, I believe I look slightly familiar to your friend, Jaune Arc, so I took the initials of his name as my own, J and A which sounds like Jay." The figure, now known as Jay, answers Blake.
"...or this, Jay, really did freeze time." Blake's reasoning and Ren's semblance seemed to calmed Weiss down.
"I'll explain everything shortly, in the meanwhile would you like to sit in one of the seats? I assure you that you will be here for quite some time." Jay asks.
With a look from suspicion from all of the present hunters and huntresses-in-training, they eventually sat down in the seats.
"Now, before I begin I must first ask. Are you aware of the multiverse theory?" Jay voices.
All of the children there besides from Nora, nod, Nora just makes a face in confusion where Ren explains.
"The multiverse theory is the theory that every choice you make creates a new universe. Let's say, you had a choice to either get a soda or a water. A universe would be made where you got a soda and another universe is made where you got a water." Ren finishes his explanation to be head patted by Nora in gratitude.
"As your friend has explained it. He is correct, the multiverse does exist." Jay concludes.
Some of the students widened their eyes at the revelation or narrow their eyes, unsure of where this is heading.
Jay continues to answer whatever question they have in their mind "In the multiverse, despite the many differences in worlds overall, there has been something consistent. The roles people play, Miss Nikkos, in every universe you are an unbeatable champion. Miss Rose, In every universe you are a child prodigy who wishes to be a hero." Jay at this point then changes his tone a little "However, there is an anomaly in every universe."
"Anomaly?" Yang asks.
"Yes, this anomaly changes his role, in every universe seemingly at random. He is the vocal point of every universe and subjectively the centre of it." Jay continues "To your right and left armrests, you will notice a pen and a notepad, please makes notes on the videos I shall show you and morph the future into what you wish. And, as some of you may have guessed, this anomaly is Jaune."
"Jaune?!" Weiss exclaimed "How is that dolt the centre of the universe?!"
"Weiss! That's rude!" Ruby retorts immediately.
"I know your Jaune may not seem like much, all do. And that is what makes them an anomaly, due to all the potential of what they could be." Jay continues "To quote the esteemed master of the ever changing Velvet Room, Jaune is like the number zero. At first, seems like nothing, insignificant, and yet, has so much potential to be more."
"The Velevet Room..." Blake mutters to herself as she starts to scan her eyes around the room "The colour sceme of almost everything here is red and black. So that would mean..."
"I welcome you all to the Crimson Theatre. A place between dream and reality, mind and matter." Jay finishes.
Out of all people to speak up after this, Yang holds out her had as if she were in class, as if she didn't know of any other way to get attention from Jay "I'm sorry but, I just really can't see Jaune as the centre of the multiverse. Just today he came to class with his trousers inside out."
"As I mentioned, Jaune has the potential to become the greatest evil or the greatest good." Jay announces "Or at least somewhere inbetween."
"Then, show us one where Jaune becomes the greatest good!" Ruby exclaims.
"Yeah! Fearless Leader always wanted to be a hero, I wanna see what kind of hero he would become!" Nora yells alongside Ruby.
"I see..." Jay hums as if he is thinking deeply about something "While I shall comply to your wishes for now, you must understand it is of importance that I must show your friend in not such a flattering light sometimes. As it is something very possible in the realm of possibility for your friend."
The students collectively either look at each other or mentally note this in their minds before looking forward with conviction.
"I see you have steeled yourselves...Now, before we begin, some of these worlds have various cultures different to yours, so there may be many changes. And the world I'm about to show you this time merely is to show you how far the skills of Jaune Arc can go."
"I still am unable to see how that scraggly buffoon can show any ounce of skill..." Weiss whispers to herself.
And with those words, snacks appear from an foldable table like on planes, the lights darken, Jay fades away and the screen starts the film.
The setting starts with a small spotlighted stage within the centre of a casino, there are four marble pillars supporting the roof besides the walls.
"Woah! They're fighting for real! Anybody wanna make bets?"
"Are they wearing...bath towels?" Yang asks to no one in particular.
"This what Jay meant by different cultures probably." Blake responds.
"But Blakey...Bathtowels." Yang wasn't sure what to think about what she saw "One things for sure, if Coco saw this she would explode."
"My money's on Pyrrha, she's a trained gladiator who in their right mind would face her?"
"Well I put fifty on that boy! Just look at that knife of his, its regal just like his looks. I wonder what fighting style this foreigner will show us!"
The stage focuses on a Pyrrha who has her hair in her signature ponytail and seems to be wearing a red version of her armour, wielding a simple sword and shield.
On the other side however, stands Jaune. However is incredibly thin compared to the audience in the Theatre and the film as well as to Pyrrha herself.
"Ugh..." Ruby groans "While there is no problem with the classics, everything about this screams old! Where are the mecha shift weapons?!"
"Allow me to answer." Jay appears in the seat next to Ruby suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere which gets a mouse like noise out of Ruby.
"In this universe, there is no such thing as grimm-" Jay explains.
"LUCKY!" Nora yells "I wanna trade!"
"However the lack of a threat to the humans and faunus of Remnant, also means that nothing pushed Remnant to their limits. Causing the discovery of dust to have been delayed by countless millennia. Which is the cause of the lack of technological development in weapons, Ruby." Jay answered.
"A world without grimm means a world without dust?" Ren notes this down on the notepad he was provided.
"Yes, however due to the lack of grimm also led to other reasons why there was a delay in finding and utilising dust. Magic." Jay said.
"Magic?" Yang asks "What do you mean by that?"
"You see, in your world and in this one, before aura, before dust, there was magic. A single kingdom united by a king was filled to the brim with magic, however the grimm wiped out all the magicians who tried to fight, thus, saving the normal people of the kingdom but sacrificing the ways of magic to give enough time to the people, leading to the people of Remnant to actively try and find alternatives to fight the Grimm, and thus dust was found." Jay answered.
"Wait wait wait! So your saying in our universe, we used to be able to weild magic?!" Weiss exclaimed.
This got many of the students scribbling.
"Now's your chance to surrender, we've already battled once which ended with my domination. You know you can't beat me." Pyrrha smiles as she readies her weapon, showing no indication of taking Jaune seriously.
However, Jaune starts to swirl and twirl his knife in a skillfull and playful manner which to Pyrrha's trained eye, screamed experiance "You sure about that?" Jaune smiles as he continues to show off to the crowd "I had a whole entire apple, I'm well fed now!"
"He is awfully thin." Pyrrha mentions "Does he live in poverty in this universe?"
"It seems so." Ren agrees "The only thing about this Jaune that separates him from the audience is the fact that his knife seems awfully well crafted."
There was a lack of reactions other than a look of pity towards this Jaune, seeing this Jaune's smiling face eased any worries they had for Jaune.
"Such a smartass..." Pyrrha seeing Jaune's apparent arrogance angers her a little, moving into a stance before charging towards Jaune.
Despite being extremely skilled and strong, Pyrrha's weapon is a two-handed broadsword which forced her to telegraph her attacks slightly. Normally this wouldn't be a problem against a normal opponent as she swings upwards quickly enough, however this Jaune skillfully dodges her initial attack to the side with relative ease.
Pyrrha quickly replies with a quick overhead swing seeing as her sword was already in the air, however Jaune simply thrusts forward with a single hand to parry as he hops backwards.
"What the-" Pyrrha thought "Even if he did have enough strength to properly battle and dodge my attacks, that doesn't explain how a quick thrust from him cancels out a full swing from me. I don't sense any Qi from him either, it must be his knife! I should be wary of it."
With those thoughts, Pyrrha suddenly moves to the defensive. Jaune seeing this opening quickly steps forwards and makes quick thrusts towards her head, focusing on speed rather than power. This forced Pyrrha to dodge the best she can rather than block with her sword seeing as it was too large and heavy to block effectively.
In the crowd of cheers and laughter, stands an old man, Ozpin witnessing the battle calmly and analysing Jaune "Hm...that stance sure brings back memories, and that blonde hair...could he be a descendant of the Arcs?"
"W-woah, Vomit Boy's actually holding up pretty well." Yang mentions "But, why are they all so focused on not getting hit. Surely their auras would be able to tank at least a few hits."
Again, Jay appears beside Yang "Allow me-"
"Yaaah!" Yang jumps "Don't do that!" She punches Jay however he neither flinches nor moves, surprisingly sturdy which Yang takes a mental note of.
Yang however is ignored by Jay completely "While both Pyrrha and Jaune may be able to access aura, they both choose not to as using aura can only be done by fighters. Pyrrha assumes Jaune does not have aura and does not want an unfair match and as such Jaune is unaware Pyrrha has aura."
"Wait so their both doing this without aura? But those are real weapons, why are they both aiming at vital points?!" Ruby shows concern for the two fighters.
"Those are how fights are in this world Miss Rose, keep in mind this is normal." Jay says.
"The Arcs..." Weiss thinks internally "I'm sure I've heard of that name before but I thought nothing of it since the Arc I have is...questionable in some of his actions. But, now this is bugging me. Where have I heard of the name Arc before?"
Jaune and Pyrrha make quick exchanges in which sparks flew whenever their weapons collided.
While fighting, Pyrrha and Jaune both now realise that they are constantly analysing each other, Jaune notices Pyrrha is especially wary of his knife.
"It's called Crocea Mors." Jaune says with a smile "And in my opinion, it's a damn good knife, don't, you, think?!" With the last three words, Jaune was slightly more aggressive in his attacks which forced Pyrrha to release one hand from her sword to block a thrust from Jaune as she had a shield attacked to her arm.
"He's not weak at all! Does a single apple really change that much?" Pyrrha internally curses as she thinks about of the situation she's in "Damn, now that I've left go of my sword, if he dashes forward and attacks now I'll have to be purely on the defensive! He has the advantage now!"
Jaune seems well aware of this advantage as well, his smug smirk grows ever so slightly, however it should be noted that to the eyes of Blake and Weiss who were used to smiles like this, noticed it had hints of a scheme as he is about to move forward.
"Damn! Vomit boy really one upped you there Pyrrha!" Yang, who always loved a good fight was ecstatic at how this fight was turning out.
"Ya-ha! Fearless leader is super strong in this! He is about to actually hit Pyrrha at this rate!" Nora cheers.
Despite losing in the video, Pyrrha couldn't help but smile and have a feeling of pride swell within her chest.
"Pyrrha!" Ozpin yells which stops Jaune from his atack but Jaune did not move his eyes away from his opponent "Looks like this guy is the real deal, we may be outside Beacon right now, but I permit you to use your powers."
Pyrrha looks at Jaune who lowers his weapon slightly, indicating that he will allow Pyrrha to take the time to set anything up despite having to chance to win this battle then and there.
"I take it this is what they call chivalry in your kingdom?" Pyrrha asks Jaune with an unreadable tone "It's a refreshing change I must say, usually in Mistral everyone capitalises on a single moment of weakness."
Pyrrha then surrounds herself in a dim red glow, activating her aura. However, Pyrrha was not done there as her aura moved towards her sword and shield, she made a pose which also works as a battle stance before announcing "Qi Condensation Sword!"
"Oi oi! Are we really going to see Pyrrha's skills outside of Beacon! Amazing, go Pyrrha!"
The crowd eventually go into a chant, repeating "Pyrrha! Pyrrha! Pyrrha!" However Pyrrha was not concerned with the cheers, to into the battle.
"I love the fact that the place is booming...But please don't make too much damage!" The casino owner exclaimed.
"Now that's respect when I see it." Blake opens her eyes a little in surprise "Using yout aura in order to try and defeat an assumed civilian, if it happened here the civillian would defilently be treated with respect from then on."
"So that means Jaune is gonna activate his aura too and surprise everyone!" Ruby yells.
"Yeah! Fearless leader will make things spicier and will defilently win!" Nora yells.
"I'm honestly not so sure about that Nora." Ren says calmly "Look at Pyrrha's weapons, she just concentrated her aura into her weapons, manipulating your own aura like that is usually only an option available to the best of the best huntsmen or huntresses."
"Honestly, not even I myself have grasped the concept of Aura concentration." Pyrrha says "The Pyrrha in the video seems alot more skilled than me, granted she does look a little older than me."
Some eyes of the students widen at this revelation, now that the students think about it, the Pyrrha in the video would already be on par with some huntsmen as long as they didnt use their guns, and this is her without any aura too.
Jaune eyes the sword with wariness as Pyrrha dashes forward to strike the young Arc, however only using a single arm this time.
Jaune blocks it swifly but the sheer impact of the blow launched Jaune backwards into a pillar, creating a crater on impact, Jaune fell to the ground and coughed out blood "Seriously? What the hell is with that power?"
Pyrrha's thoughts within however are increasingly alarmed "I intented to finish that duel in a single strike, yet his knife doesn't have a scratch on it. My suspisions are correct, that knife either has magical enchantments or is of magical origin!"
"This is way too familiar!" Nora poits towards the screen "One time I snashed my hammer against Fearless Leader's sword and it didnt make a dent!"
Noticing the incredulous looks, Ren continues "Before you ask, no. Nora did not ask for anyone's consent, I heard the noise of the impact and headed towards Nora, we were unable to think of a reason why Jaune's sword was indestructible. But, if what Jay says is true and our universe did once have magic then..."
"Jaune's sword is magical as hell." Yang started to scribble this down.
"Oh, so your sword didn't snap even after recieving Pyrrha's signature technique? Quite the weapon you have there." Ozpin says.
Seeing Ozpin grab Jaune's attention, Pyrrha decides its an eye for an eye and relaxes her grip, not attacking Jaune.
Jaune's smirk is ever present as he coughs out more blood "So what's this Qi thing that makes everyone so worked up?"
"In your land, I belive they refer to it as Aura." Ozpin states.
Jaune's eyes widen slightly as his mind races "That means she's using Aura condensing, damn. Prodigies are scary." Jaune forces himself back upwards and Pyrrha starts to walk towards Jaune once again, starting with a swing that Jaune quickly ducks under and avoids.
However Pyrrha swiftly attacks once more, forcing Jaune to block, however a rave of red energy throws itself at Jaune and launches him a good 10 metres from the stage.
"Shit, what's with that insane power, geniuses are seriously scary." Jaune smirks.
Jaune struggles to lift himself back up as Ozpin wonders to himself, seeing Jaune limp towards the stage once again made the crowds roar and cheer, however this noise did not hinder the man's thoughts at all "If you take anymore hits from Pyrrha, blocked or not your body will not hold out anymore, I wonder how you will fight now."
"I must give compliments when they are due. Arc is defilently holding a decent fight up against Pyrrha." Weiss mentions in disbelief "And this is what our Jaune could grow up to be? He's rivaling Pyrrha! Granted he is relying on his knife too much though."
"I don't think the only reason Jaune is puttin up a chance is due to the knife, look at how Jaune holds himself. He holds himself with trained movements, he has taught himself skill despite having no talent for it, just look at his muscle or rather lack of it, whatever his training is, its more focused on skill rather than strength or speed. A knife is useless in the wrong hands but Jaune is holding out just fine." Pyrrha mutters this to herself but everyone hears her and turns to her.
Jaune's mind races once again as he climbs onto the stage "I can't face her head on like I am now, but I can defilently win if I activate my Aura and use my semblance to maximise it...No, I'm being tested right now. I have to win this battle with just my sword skills!"
Pyrrha yells out a warcry as she once again rushes towards Jaune and slash horizontally, destroying a marble pillar behind Jaune. Jaune ducks in order to dodge the attack and uses the falling pillar as cover to find an opening and thrust his knife, however it was blocked by an Aura infused shield.
"Geez! Her sheild too?!" Jaune sidesteps out of the way of Pyrrha's counter attack, still on the defensive.
Pyrrha once again goes for an overhead strike and Jaune raises his knife in order to block it, however upon impact, curved the sword in order to redirect the force of the attack rather than to challenge it.
The audience in the casino and the theatre both were largely impressed by that feat.
"An ingenious way to fight against an opponent with superior strength." Ren ezpecially takes note of this move as he always had trouble against physically stronger opponents.
"What an unbelivable amount of skill, and he isn't even using Aura in order to react quicker, this is all Jaune!" Blake almost yells "What kind of monster is Jaune when he activates his Aura?!"
Jaune continues to make sure his movements flow in order to redirect the strength of Pyrrha's attacks rather than to face them head on like he did last time.
Ozpin was noticably impressed by this "Oh, such fluid parrys. I thought you'd only mastered the Arc swordplay styles, but who knew you also mastered a completely different style?"
"Another style?" Ren perked up "Mastering one style of fighting takes years, but to master another one to the same skill is insane..."
"It can't be that bad can it?" Nora asks "I bet I can use your guns just fine!"
"It's like if Ruby suddenly started to learn bare handed fighting. She's not used to it and it would take too much time, it would be better to give her a hidden pistol." Ren states.
"What's wrong with learning some good old fisticuffs?" Yang eyes Ren.
Pyrrha and Jaune clash once again in exchanges that make it glaringly obvious that Jaune outskills Pyrrha, who is also rather frustrated she is unable to use her semblance to hinder Jaune in any way.
And at last, a single thrust from Pyrrha gives Jaune the opening he needs, tripping Pyrrha with a swipe of his leg and making a quick slash before he sheaths his knife.
Falling backwards, Pyrrha gets up almost instantly and is a little confused as to why Jaune placed his weapon away, as she technically was yet to be hit. However Ozpin calls out her name before she fight back "Pyrrha! That's enough!"
"But why? I can still fight." Pyrrha says back.
"Woah! Fearless Leader won!" Nora cheered.
"Impossible!" Weiss yelled.
"Improbable." Blake responded.
"This match has already been decided, just look at yourself." Ozpin states calmly. To which Pyrrha just makes a confused look.
"U-um...Well, I didn't want to actually hurt you since I know you have a match in Beacon tommorow, so this is the best idea I could come up with." Jaune had been scratching his cheek as if he was a child who had just had his hand caught in the cookie jar.
"Hm? What does Fearless Leader mean by that?" Nora asks, no one could find the answer though.
"I got a better one. Why does he look like a lost puppy?" Yang asks.
"I-I think I can see where this is going." Blake stutters as her mind starts to fall into the gutter.
Pyrrha stares at Jaune for a moment, trying to figure out what he meant by that, her mind remembers the last slash Jaune made, and yet there was not a single cut on her.
While deep in her thoughts, Pyrrha's straps that held together her armour had been cut and undone themselves.
Crowds roared.
Jaune looked away with a look of shame.
Pyrrha cried out in an embarrased manner as she tried to cover up.
The screen then dimmed until darkness and the overhead lights turned on.
"Ah...well it could've been worse." Pyrrha's faced became tinted into a colour similar to her hair "A-after all my body wasn't covered in A-Aura, I could've b-been injured."
"Th-th-that lecherous, p-perverted scraggly little...little!" Weiss's entire face was enveloped in a shade of red as she struggled with her words.
"You have to wonder how Jaune would fight if he wasn't being tested, if he didn't care about if Pyrrha got hurt?" Ren mentions "Its...scary if you think about it."
"And our Fearless Leader can be like that one day? I like it!" Nora explaims.
"Of course you would." Yang deadpans.
"Yes, in this universe, Jaune grows up to be a King. Kings in this universe tend to be the strongest people within their kingdoms." Jay appeared "He is seen as a hero among many, and to think he originally was merely a fruit escort. Another piece of info that you'll find interesting to write down is that different Jaunes can play different roles in the same universes."
"Jaune as a king..." Ruby says slowly "I think I have a better understanding of what you mean by potential now."
"Yes, I have mentioned that Jaune can grow to be quite the figure many times now." Jay says "Now, before we move onto the next video. I believe it is due that I...Invite more people in your universe that will affect you Jaune's growth."
"Oh, wanna place bets on whose coming?" Yang asks.
"While I'm certainly not betting any money, it should be fairly obvious that our teachers will be brought here." Weiss says.
A few yellow portals soon open as four recognisable people appear.
"Roman?!" Ruby yells.
"You!" Yang's eyes flare up in ager as she recognises the ice cream themed girl next to Roman.
"Red! Well, this is certainly an unpleasant surprise. Neo." Roman aims his Melodic Cudgel at the students who scramble in order to try and get a hold of their weapons. Neo raises her parasol ready to make a swift escape afterwards.
Jay makes no movement or action that would suggest his interference, he merely sighs "It seems the more skilled fighters have dodged my portals...perhaps it is finally the time to get an assistant like many other beings such as myself."
The other two students were recognised by team RWBY and the rest of team JNPR as two visiting students from Haven. Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black.
"You two, quickly get to safety!" Pyrrhe explains as she realises she is unable to get her weapons in time, ready to use her semblance to move an attack if necessary.
Roman fires an attack with all students almost completely unable to grab their weapons quickly enough, Yang grabs Ruby to try and block it and Ren does the same for Nora.
KAMEN RIDE
KABUTO
A large explosion ocured only to leave a puff of smoke, as it lifts a red kabuto themed armoured man suddenly appeared in front of the students taking the blow and absorbing the impact, protecting the students.
"Wooooaaaahhhh!" Ruby yelled out "A-A REAL SUPERHERO!"
"I'm not a hero. Just a passing through Kamen Rider, remember that." The armoured man glances at Ruby but despite his dismissive words, had ego within it.
"Tch, Vale just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Neo, were off." Roman say to which Neo nods and the two dissapear into glass shards.
"You know, it doesn't matter if you're invisible." The armoured rider held up a card and inserted it into his belt.
ATTACK RIDE
CLOCK UP
The armoured man walked around the theatre calmly and slowly as if he was an eagle slowly stalking his prey. Eventually he bumped into an invisible figure, the armoured rider reached for a new card and intended to knock out Neo's aura with a single attack so she wouldn't be too much of a problem.
FINAL ATTACK RIDE
K-K-K-KABUTO
The armored man then makes a single spin as he kicks Neo.
For all other people other than the rider, it looked like the masked man teleported next to a suddenly visible Roman as Neo flies and bounces off of the wall and onto the flow, her aura shatters as she flew.
Roman suddenly turns his can towards the rider, his eyes widen seeing as his muscle just got taken out in literlary no time.
"You know, countless Neos tried that dissapearing act on me. And all of their Romans reacted the same way you are." The rider says "Neo isn't hurt too badly, I held back on my kick so you two should head to some seats and let me heal her."
The masked man does not seem to be bothered by Roman's cane as he walked over to the knocked out Neo and moves her to one of the seats, laying her down before eyeing Roman.
Roman realises the situation he is in, lowering his cane with a grumble as he sits on a seat next the unconsious Neo "Well, hurry up with it then."
"Decade. What brings you to this branch of the multiverse?" Since the first time the students saw Jay, this was the only time his words held emotion in them, the more perceptive people quickly wrote down on heir notes that Jay seems to know the masked man and seemed rather happy to see him.
"I was just passing through, heading to the next dimension to record. Then I noticed this little predicament you are in, you're right though. You need an assistant to get stuff done since your so damn lazy." Decade then moves his hands to his belt and turns into civilian form.
"Wait!" Weiss yells as she points at the man who just saved her "You!"
"Fearless Leader!" Nora yells happily.
"Jaune?!" Ruby and Pyrrha yell out at the same time.
"Well, yes but actually no." Decade puts his hands on the unconsious Neo as he begins to glow, using his semblance in order to heal Neo who wakes up sooner than later and then remives his hands "I'm one of many Jaunes in the multiverse, since we all have the same name, we go by codenames. I'm called Decade."
The two Haven students sit on seats behind Neo and Roman, wary of the blonde man now known as Decade.
"Wait, multiverse?" Emerald questions as she looks at the rider, recognising him as an older version of a student she saw at Beacon. As the perceptive girl she is, she also noticed that the students from Beacon don't seem to doubt Decade's words at all.
"You're not gonna give then the run through?" Decade eyes Jay who stays silent, who is moving his arms to somehow fix the partly destroyed theatre "Hmph, lazy as ever. Well, as you know, I'm Decade, Destroyer of Worlds. This is one of many theatres where you are able to watch the many different universes out there, some invite you because they're bored but someti-"
"Destroyer of worlds?!" Mercury yells out.
Many pale at the claim, some are unable to accept it. or unsure how to react.
"He says Destroyer of Worlds, when a more accurate title should be Destroyer of Universes." Jay explains "Saying he was holding back while fighting Neopolitan just now would be a rather large understatement."
"Oi, don't be a so...you." Decade says with a frown towards Jay as he creates a grey portal "Well, I shouldn't keep my own watchers waiting too long. I guess I'll probably see you during the next Meeting of Jaunes."
"Until then, Decade." Jay says as Decade leaves.
"D-Destroyer of universes?" Weis stutters.
"Yes, as an anomaly in the universe, it is not uncommon for Jaune to travel to other universes or to gain the ability to destroy a universe." Jay says.
"S-so he's not a hero?" Ruby asks.
"It would seem we are lucky we aren't on his bad side." Ren states.
"I wouldn't say so. Afterall, Decade only destroys universes he sees as beyond saving. Let's say a universe where grimm conquer the world or a universe where there is a galactic level zombie plague. Decade would destroy those universes." Jay announces "Who should be my assistant though..."
"Neo, you're...surprisingly alright." Roman states "Geez that monster can heal people too? So even if you beat him it means nothing."
"Fearless Leader's armour is so cool! Can we see a universe where he's like that?" Nora asks.
"Perhaps when we are done with the main task at hand, for now what I must do is show you what can Jaune turn out to be like. I'll play another universe for you while I leave to find a suitable assistant." Jay says.
"But what about Torchwick and...Neo?" Blake asks.
"If the unspoken rules are broken, there shall be consequences." Jay says.
"But what if one of us dies?" Blake asks bluntly.
"This is the Crimsom Theatre, a place between dream and reality, mind and matter. Focus on the mind and matter part as my answer." The cloaked man continues.
"Oh, and there are actually different types of...LoserJaunes, as they are codenamed. After their schoolife days, they have many routes, some married with Salem, a girl with 12,858,051,967,633,862 unique semblances, some to Ruby, who weilds the semblace named The End...some, with a harem, some alone." And with that, Jay disappears and the lights overhead darken once again.
