"Well, this is going to be a familiar world for some of you. The first one I showed to you all. Anyway, let the film roll!"
"Team RWBY!" Ruby said on a bullhead. "We are meeting with a team ARCN, aka Arcon. They won't give us names, but they should be meeting us at the gate. Joint mission is at the moment unknown, unfortunately. "
"Great. Just great. So we have no idea who we're going to be working with?" Blake grumbled, clearly annoyed.
"Ehh, don't be so pissy that we didn't end up in Haven with your boyfriend, Kitty cat." Yang smiled, cocking her Shotgun gauntlets.
"Ohhh, boyfriend? Blake, you never told me-" Kali started before Blake wheeled on her
"Sun is not my boyfriend. He is just a friend." She silenced her mother with a hiss. Sun looked hurt at that.
Blake gave her denials as the rest of the team laughed. "We're just teasing you blake. But, keep that up and we might get ideas." suggested Weiss with a smile.
"You've been hanging out with Yang too much." Blake said. The bullhead touched down, and the star team disembarked
"So, Jauney and RWBY are going to reunite after a couple years?" Nora asked, trying to remember the last viewing of this world
"Yup. it's going to be…. Interesting." Orb said, 'pacing' the back of the theater.
"What do you mean by-" Emerald asked, confused.
"SIgh. Watch and find out."
"Hello Team Arcoooo- Oh. Jaune." Ruby started, seeing the team
"Ruby. it's been a while. How has it been?" Jaune said with good nature. "How's whatever's left of my team?"
"Not bad. Called team Prawn now. They got a replacement member, one that did not forge his way into Beacon." Ruby snarled this last bit
"Wait, Jaune forged his way into Beacon?" Blake blinked. Pyrrha clammed up, worried that the secret might be out.
"He did. Your version of Jaune is a surprisingly skilled forger. He based his documents on his sister's application."
everyone blinked for a moment. Qrow whistled. "Balls of steel man. Not your everyday Joe that faked their way into Beacon."
Roman leaned over to Neo. "Put us into contact with this guy. If he can forge his way into Beacon, just imagine what else he might be able to do."
"How is that dolt skilled at anything at all? He can barely walk in a straight line without tripping over his own shoes, so how in the world was he able to fake his way into Beacon?!" Weiss practically screeched.
"If this is true, I will be forced to expel Mr. Arc. Headmaster, I will have to look over Jaune's application. If this is true-" Glynda said, peeved that someone managed to give her the slip via paperwork
"You will do no such thing Glynda." Ozpin said calmly. "While they were incredibly skilled forgeries and were able to get past you, I knew that he was not who he said he was. Despite that, I see great potential in Jaune Arc. He will stay in my school, Glynda."
"And there is the difference between this world and your own." Orb said, "now such. Other people are trying to watch."
"Guilty as charged Ruby. So, how have you all been."
"A lot better than you're about to be, you slimy cheating little waste of intelligence." Weiss snarled as she drew her Rapier.
"Now they have some fighting words." Sebastian, the other blonde, reached to his back to pull out a surprisingly large two handed shotgun.
"Cortez. No." Jaune said sternly, his hands at his side.
"But, she literally just said-"
"I don't care what she said. We are not here to fight. Now, for the love of the Brothers, could we please go get-" Jaune never got to finish what he was saying, instead being forced to draw a dagger, blocking Myrtenaster with it. "Now that was unnecessary." Jaune said.
"I entirely disagree." weiss snarled. She jumped back as it seemed everyone but Ruby on RWBY prepped their weapons.
"Guys, stand down. This is completely unnecessary." Ruby scolded, but her team ignored her.
"Arcon, disengage. This is neither the time or the place." Jaune sighed, pinching his nose.
"Jaune, dude, they just attacked you with a lethal intent. If anything, that is a reason to engage." Nikori said, flourishing her spear in its uncollapsed form. Her leader could only sigh
"I must say, I'm disappointed in all of you right now." Glynda scolded the team RWBY. "not you ruby, you're doing fine. But the rest of you-"
"Shhh. I'm trying to watch." Raven said, quieting the blonde.
"If they attack us again within the minute unprovoked, we can engage. If not, we leave it. Got it?" Jaune said.
"Aye, Aye, Cap'n!" Rasheem gave a mock salute.
"Great, now let's go. I'm starving." Jaune turned sharply on his heel. Blake saw an opportunity to strike at the faker, and took it.
Clang!
Jaune had turned, drawing his full length sword to block the Cat's blade. "Blake, Why?" he sighed, a tired look on his face.
"Because you don't deserve to be here." she growled, pushing harder against the unwavering wall that was Jaune Arc
"Blake, why would you do that? We could have avoided fighting them!" Ruby cried, pointing to the screen.
"It's not me! It's that version of me!" Blake defended herself, then stopped. "Man, that was a weird sentence."
"Comandante, can we engage the enemy huntswomen now?" Sebastian said, cocking his shotgun.
Jaune took a deep breath in, pushing Blake away. "Unfortunately, yes. Don't kill anyone, and keep property damage to a minimum." he sighed. "Rasheem, Your on escape duty."
"On it." Rasheem smiled, prepping his dust and 'doorways'.
"Nikori, have fun. And Cortez?"
"Yeah man?"
"No hospital visits."
Cotrez looked like Color day had just been canceled, and sighed as he cocked his gun.
The battle soon erupted. Cortez turned out to be a mid and long range fighter that likes to blast holes in… everything. Explosions and gunpowder was the name of his game.
"Oohhhh, he has a lot of guns." Ruby drools, being the weaponsexual that she is.
Yand and Tai just facepalmed
Jaune had started to go toe to toe with Wiess and occasionally Blake when Nikori had to disengage, using her shadow semblance to teleport around and get behind guards. Rasheem just opened portals to let Cortez and Nikori escape, and sent dust effects at RWBY. The white and black blades of RWBY could not find their mark, either being blocked by his shield, or pushed away by his sword. Weiss lept back after a counter attack by the knight, but it was not enough. She could feel her Aura drop significantly as the blade made contact with her thigh
"This version of Mr. Arc seems very skilled. Much more so than our own version."
Orb just coughed at that.
"ENOUGH!" Came a stern voice. "Mr. Arc, why is it always Arcon that seems to get into trouble?" a grizzled old lady with a cane came out from behind the battle. All of Arcon immediately froze. They turned to look at their headmistress, then to each other
"Uhhh, Rasheem? Beam us out, Scotty." jaune said, Hoisting Yang and Ruby over his shoulder.
"Gack! Let Go!" Yang said as she was lifted.
"Already on it." A large portal opened up in the space away from the Headmistress.
"GO, Go, GO!" Cortez yelled as he leaped through the portal. The pavement cracked under the Headmistresses cane. The rest of RWBY and ARCN jumped through soon after.
"She's like a really old and cranky goodwitch." Qrow laughed.
"Yes, Headmistress Vrenda was always… scary as hell." Ozpin said. Everyone looked at him in astoundedness that he just cursed in the open.
"What? I curse all the time when I feel like it." Ozpin said
"Yeah. anyway, next viewing anyone?" Orb asked. Most everyone nodded yes
