Long ago when Gods played dominant roles across the multiverse, a war had sprung from two factions of divine beings, the faction known as "the guided temple" (temple for short) who sought out to control the multiverse through monopolising their existence to gain worship, manipulating the masses to commit whatever the Gods will was and for those who would oppose the worship of a God would be dealt with … brutally.
The opposing faction "the void" wished for the destruction of all dimensions until only one remained then upon the soul survivor dimension would then be used as a blank slate to create so the Gods of this faction could implement whatever they so desired.
Each faction had their individual differences but one common factor remained the significant loss of life across all existence so the great God of the Multiverse gateway- Dimella saw the squabble of her fellow Gods realising that the choice of all life was being dictated by her fellow divine she knew what must be done.
Soon as the battle of the factions of Gods began to reach the peak of bloodshed, a new faction appeared through a gateway this faction soon later to be known as the "Pages" laid waist to both factions wielded beautiful forms of magic that rivalled the Gods of their divine power. In less than 22 hours all Gods on the battlefield perished before the grand might of the "Pages" but in response to their victory the deal between the Pages and Dimella must be complied to.
For what Gods didn't know during their ego measuring contest of who should rule, Dimella scanned across the multiverse for a solution to defeat both factions to ensure the life of all living things. After a century of combing through the multiverse Dimella needed rest so she took it upon herself to rest on the closest sentient planet in dimension 10024022 known as Earth as she began to ponder if a solution would ever present itself the female God encountered a man no more than 20. He asked "Why do you look so sad?" then Dimella vented her anguish of the war, her fellow divines and what hurt the most finding someone, something to slay them upon the realisation she had broken the most sacred of rules of disclosing information to a mortal. However his response to what she had just revealed the existence of Gods more than one, the multiverse, life after death, the works he said "Well that was a mouthful, would you like some water after all that". A response like any other she continued to prod this man for what felt like days but only mere minutes finally after realising this man was genuine of his belief of what Dimella had disclosed she asked simple "Could you help me?" the man conversing with a literal God, simply snorted with amusement clear in his deep blue, cerulean eyes said "Did you think I'd say no". Never had Dimella found such a being before who could create such a plan so brilliant and unbelievably creative not one single God would expect it.
Although everything in existence can't go off without a hitch, the God of the gateway had to sacrifice a willing soul to create these Heroes but just like how that man once appeared like a hero himself stepped up when most likely no one else would. "You realise that for this to work your soul will be devoured into nothingness, no afterlife, no more light, no more time just nothing it would be as if you never existed". But this man, no this soon to be legend replied in kind "Truly that is disappointing but with my action, many will survive, plus as a kid I always wanted to become a hero so why the hell not". With his peace made a day later the God activated her powers to create the creations of the God and mortal the "Pages".
But before they could come alive the man would have to perish, Dimella hesitated which surprised her the most she either killed one man to save almost an infinite amount of lives, or not kill this one mortal person resulting in the genocide of the multiverse. Noticing the hesitation of the God the man stepped forward and clasped the Gods hand over his heart and said "You know I don't blame you for what is to come and above all I'd rather die by the hands of someone who hesitated than someone who wouldn't, cause this shows me that what were doing isn't right but neither wrong, I do not forsake you Dimella I thank you for allowing me to be a mark in history and that my death meant the salvation of Gods knows how may lives".
Dimella could not stop herself from hesitating even further but knew denying this man's choice were to be a grave insult to his courage. Whispering a "Thank you" and saying his name one final time as his very existence was erased the Pages sprang to life then Dimella did the most benefitting thing possible, she told the tale of the man who gave away his existence to bring forth the Pages and asked that when they complete their goal to spread the tale of this man across the multiverse.
As the Gods lay defeated the Pages bid farewell to the gate keeper, before embarking on a journey across multiple dimensions forging their own lives whilst spreading the tale of a man loved by a God so much she even hesitated to end his life so that their worlds could be spared the tale… of a mere man who's life brought forth peace at exchange for his existence, the tale of the creator of The Pages, the tale of the man who made a Goddess weep at his valiant soul. Finally the tale of the man who simply went for a walk only to become a legendary figure the next week and that is the story of Prophecy.
But whoever said being erased from existence meant there was nothing beyond even that, well, didn't think so.
-Multiverse branch 4, planet 17 aka Remnant, location Beacon Academy. Year 859.-
-Headmaster Ozpin's office-
Inside the office of the great emerald wizard was akin to a clock tower, many gears and cogs littered the ceilings creaking and turning. Underneath said ceiling the current Patriarch of the Arc family, David Sun Arc. This man was known throughout his career as a Huntsman of myth, the legendary Knight of the Sun due to his full-bodied golden painted armour reminiscent of a knight of old and a semblance dubbed Wrath of Sunlight.
The warrior of the sun currently stared down the emerald Huntsman with a heated gaze.
"I have very much patience Ozpin, despite what people may think, but you, you, of all people only disclose this information about my son now" The patriarchs calm demeanour began to deteriorate with the further along he proceeded with his venting. "After, he was revealed to have fake transcripts ,after, he was torn down by his fellow peers, AFTER he had been jumped multiple times by YOUR STUDENTS do you decide to inform me his father that shit has hit the fan". said the knight.
"My friend, you must understand, I did what I thought would be the best solution, as Jaune-"
"You do not get to say his name, after the failure that is your academy treated him this way". David spoke calmly sprinkling as much venom into his speech as possible.
"I thought your son would get through this ordeal and be recognised as what I saw in him, a man with unimaginable potential, that when the said potential is shown he would surpass all generation prior. However I made a miscalculation of the human factor…" Ozpin said sadly as he reminisced on the current situation before he continued "But that, gives you no right to waltz into my school, mock me about the way I handle my students" as Ozpin said this he spiked his aura to show his irritation with the elder Arc, but reduced it and calmly sighed and took a sip from his favourite coffee mug.
"I expect the students of your, oh so amazing academy, to be punished severely for their actions and I, demand I see my son within the hour or I swear by the Arc name that I will hunt down all your students until I find all responsible and slay them like the monsters they are". Raising his aura surrounding the whole room making it shake uncontrollably. "And you of all people understand that ARC'S, NEVER, go back on their word" David began decreasing his aura making Ozpin very clear of what will transpire.
To Ozpin's credit he kept his usual calm appearance but those close to Ozpin would understand that he was slightly terrified now that the Arc made that promise (threat).
"Of course my friend I'll have Doctor Oobleck find him post haste" Ozpin then proceeded to contact Oobleck via scroll message "would you like some coffee whilst we wait maybe a chess match for old times?" OZPIN said to defuse the already tense situation.
"No" the patriarch responded to the Headmaster.
A long silence took hold of the room before the chime of the elevator echoed, as the doors parted to reveal the right hand of Ozpin, Glynda Goodwitch.
"David." she greeted with respectful nod.
"Goodwitch." he greeted back. However due to Glynda's surname being used she knew David was a ticking time bomb. Due to experience.
"Headmaster, I have been given news from Dr Oobleck that Mr Arc is currently off campus near the edge to emerald forest". After relaying that message David set out for the elevator.
Gazing at the back of the Arc Patriarch began to make the wise wizard reminisce over days of old, more specifically the day Ozma met Jinn.
Flashback
- Over 100 years ago-
Ozma was standing in a clearing of the once prosperous city Oren that he use to frequent with his daughters before the incident. Held in the palms of his hands was a beautiful lantern with a large blue pearl in the centre whilst surrounded by a intricately designed golden material. This was the Relic of Knowledge. One of the four relics that hold great power that if united will bring forth the brothers of light and dark back to Remnant. For over a century this particular relic alluded the wizard having to go through 3 reincarnations to finally find it. OZMA chose a location where he will not be disturbed or seen. Soon he steeled his resolve and spoke.
"Relic of Knowledge, I have questions which, I seek answers for." presenting the lantern forward in front of his face. Then the relic began to flout from his out stretched arm, whilst the relic did this time came to a halt. No breeze, no rustling of grass just stillness followed by a turquoise smoke coming from the lantern as a large gorgeous woman with turquoise skin with golden jewellery clinging to her visage.
"I am Jinn, a creation of the God of light, where I provide three questions every century. It is nice to meet you old man." the 'Jinn' spoke in a sultry voice that would drive men crazy. "So my dear wizard what is your question?" she said as she crossed her arms increasing the size of her very large bust which she then proceeded floating around Ozma like a predator.
"How do I defeat Salem?" this was the moment of truth finally after all this time Ozma would finally be able to-
"You cannot defeat her." Jinn informed Ozma cutting his line of thought off completely. Ozma upon hearing this felt as if all the death he personally had experienced happened again all at the same time. He was broken, Salem was unstoppable. Upon seeing this Jinn felt at a loss, it was true however the old man couldn't defeat the witch. "I merely informed you old man that she could not be defeated by you, that does not rule out others, now only two questions may be answered". she said feeling a sense enjoyment of watching Ozma turn from hopeful, to broken, to hopeful once more it brought a smile of amusement to her beautiful features.
"Its true she, said I could not but others, others can possibly defeat her but how, who, where would I even begin". the finely aged wizard thought. Suddenly he got a dangerous gamble of an idea.
"Jinn." Ozma said softly.
"Yes, Old man?" she grinned knowingly exactly what was going to asked next.
"Who do I seek out in order, for Salem's defeat?" The moment of truth. Asked the finely aged wizard.
Jinn began by raising her left palm facing the heavens releasing the smoke of the lamp, engulfing Ozma. When the smoke receded, Ozma was presented with a battlefield surrounded by Grimm carcasses, faunus, human, women, men, black and white. All types of sizes, genders and race plagued the battlefield. However the most alluring sight among the carnage was the, what Ozma could currently depict, twenty individuals atop a hill surrounded by dead Grimm. Ozma couldn't see the faces of these people but what these people oozed out of their being was that of a 'True warrior'. Soon the battlefield erupted into the familiar smoke of Jinn.
"There're twenty individuals, who you have just caught a glimpse of they are your only hope of the witch's reign being stopped, but only together will they bring forth defeat, for together they are one being…" Jinn internally chuckled to herself. Sorry Old Man but, spoilers~. Jinn raises her hand flicking at the smoke getting a change scenery to that of a forest. "You are in need to search for 'someone touched by flame'…" soon the forest set ablaze, leaving only one person standing in the centre with the only noticeable characteristic was the left side of the persons face painted by a horrific burn.
The scenery then changed to that of a throne room foreign to the wizard. Sitting upon the throne was a shadowed out individual, what caught the attention of Ozma was the ring, a ring which was giving off power similar to that of a relic, which should be impossible. "…'the king of kings'…". After Jinn spoke. The 'king' rose from the throne, then the sound of glass being broken was heard followed by the individual being surrounded by a multitude of weaponry which seemed like they were made of glass. Soon the 'king' raised his right arm, causing the weapons to fly at Ozma. Ozma on reflex unsheathed his cane and prepared for the onslaught. However when the weaponry was in striking distance Jinn changed the scenery to smoke, with Ozma sending her a heated glare but she simply ignored it.
The location became that of an open space, surrounded by Grimm foreign to even himself, stood a humanoid figure wearing a worn/torn dark grey hooded cape. However before Ozma could notice one of the beasts lunged out for the individual but that action was short lived as the 'person' grabbed the beast by the throat with a quick snap of it's neck. Although Ozma has seen individuals perform such feats before, the shocking part was the person's arm or rather the metal arm belonging to the individual. "…'the machine with a soul'…" Jinn said further shocking Ozma as he originally thought it might be a prosthetic. The 'machine' then throws the dead beast in its arms to the remaining others then quickly drawing a rather unique hand cannon unloading bullet after bullet until no beast remained.
The new setting was that of unmarked gravestones of sizes and shaped, through deduction Ozma assumed this to be a graveyard. Ozma's gaze then landed upon the gravestone in front of him. The gravestone was reminiscent of a standard headstone most graves have, although Ozma couldn't make out the name as it was covered by plant life obstructing the wording, the only noticeable aspect was a drawing of a bell drawn with what looked like blood. Then from underneath Ozma's feet a hand burst from the soil grabbing at his ankle. " … 'a dead man walking'…" Jinn spoke after laughing at Ozma's panicked demeanour.
The scenery changed once again to that of a vast opening full of beasts similar to that of Grimm, soon the next individual of focus stepped forth causing the beasts to visibly step backward clearly showing signs of being intimidated then without the missing of a beat the person brought forth a chained whip striking the largest beast of all causing vital strike against its chest. Then unexpectedly catching the wizard off guard as the beast seemed to spontaneously combust, causing the lesser beasts to retreat with the individual following in pursuit. This person much like the others was covered by shadow not revealing gender, colour or if this individual was human or faunus but the back of this person showed a golden crest, clearly a family crest with what Ozma concluded. This observation was followed by Jinn saying "… 'a nightmare to monsters'…" Jinn then proceeded to flick her wrist indicating the change.
As soon as the scene changed a load roar of beasts unheard of by Ozma, came overhead then Ozma turn his gaze to the sky being greeted by a depiction of pure myth, dragons, dragons of colossal size flying above him. They're beautiful. He thought as the dragons landed before an individual standing atop a dragon in a snowy tundra. The dragons then proceeded to bow their long scaled necks towards the person in reverence. "… 'a person with the soul of a dragon'…" Jinn said getting looks of questionable doubt from the Old man however not caring Jinn proceeds the viewing.
Next was followed by a scenery of utter blackness, however Ozma had aura and could sense a presence all around him. This made Ozma very paranoid. "… 'a living shadow'…" Jinn said followed by the unsheathing of a blade and the cry of an eagle. Noticing the distress of her occupant Jinn quickly moved onto the next. What in Oum's name was that, that, that was as him a blade was at my throat the whole time yet I couldn't feel or see it. Sweat was rolling off of him like rain, whatever that individual was terrified Ozma more than even Grimm.
This time Ozma was floating in the sky, in his field of view he could see an isolated island with lots of forestry among some small critters that he could see at the current distance. However quickly the quiet scenery was being interrupted by a ever-growing sound of something descending from above. Knowing Ozma would regret his next action he looks up to see- Is that a Fucking Meteor!? he internally screamed. Just as Ozma was about to share his concern with Jinn, but a loud shout of someone at loud shouting "Room" with the meteor which was enveloped by a translucent blue dome. Then followed by a feet that even Ozma could not pull off was the meteor being slashed, slashed in half, something like that seemed so improbable. "… 'the surgeon of death'…" although Jinn preferred to hide her amusement, this time she burst out laughing hysterically as the wizard performed a great impression of a fish unable to comprehend what just proceeded. Having calmed herself, Jinn changed the scene again.
Composing himself Ozma, found that he was looking upon a barren wasteland thinking this maybe a place is reminiscent of the Vacuo wasteland. Further investigating the surrounding Ozma noticed a military shepherd (German shepherd) being boxed in by what appears to be two bandits wielding machete's, the dog growled in defiance against its attackers. Then out of thin air behind of the bandits, unnoticed at the current moment, was a large metal goliath which seemed to be 7 ft. 6 at a glance, the metal armour was the colour of a luminescent white. When the person appeared the dog seized growling but instead starting wagging its tail, tilting it's head playfully whilst its tongue flopped out of the dogs mouth as if there was no present danger. "… 'the wanderer' …" Jinn stated as the bandits noticed the presence of the 'wanderer' who proceeded to grab the heads of each bandit easily being crushed into bloody splatters, just before the scene ended the goliath patted the dogs head gaining an appreciative bark from the lively animal.
This new scene was that of an individual in a meditating state sitting a top a mountain with a view of the kingdom of Vale in the far distance, this new character had no defining features like the others, but that did not last for the person soon stood upward stretching wide. After a few moments the individual let forth off the mountain top, Ozma's body tensed up as he watched this person fall, but a bright white light came forth from the very individual, quickly receding to reveal a very angelic visage. As now the individual had continuously glowing wings similar to that of a depiction of an angel, then with a sonic boom the individual was gone leaving a trail of white energy. Witnessing Ozma's wondrous expressions Jinn spoke "… 'someone loved by aura'…". Jinn ended this scene moving forth with the proceeding.
Now Ozma was presented the setting of the sun along the horizon giving off a wondrous image, then he began to hear the clopping of hooves, turning around Ozma saw what appeared to be a group of individual riding on horse back riding towards the sunset. However the riders came to an abrupt holt as a individual wielding twin revolvers in which the wizard recognised as LeMat revolvers which were developed by an old gunsmith in his 4th reincarnation over 110 years ago. The other obvious feature was the persons black Stetson hat that seemed to have a noose like rope as an added accessory. Then the lone individual drew his guns causing for the opposing men to draw in kind but unfortunately were to slow as the gunman landed 9 consecutive head-shots against his opposing gunslingers. After the people lay dead the gunman twirled the side arms flawlessly holstering them whilst making way to what was clearly the persons stead riding towards the sunset whilst Ozma watched the individual ride off, Jinn appeared saying "… 'the gunslinger of the west'…" then when the sun finally set the scenery changed.
Now Ozma seemed to be located in what appeared to be the centre of what appeared to be a more well developed Vale, as technology seemed to be clearly more advanced with what he has access to at the moment. However soon the bustling streets of people began to stare upward following their gazes Ozma was met with what seemed to be a bust of criminal activities happening simultaneously being broadcasted on large screens attached to the buildings with the inclusion of glitched text stating 'I'm watching, always' before all the broadcasts cut off. Then Jinn made all the people become smoke leaving behind a singular person sporting a long coat, wearing a baseball cap with a strange logo on the front. "… 'the vigilante'…" when Jinn stated this the person in question pushed a button on his possible communication device causing all light to disappear from the scene. (Remember Ozma is being shown these visions from 100 years before the present, so in this story I've had scrolls not developed that long ago)
When the smoke began to take shape around Ozma, he witnessed that he was not standing atop any form of floor but rather standing in the sky. Out of nowhere gunfire was heard behind him, he quickly took a swift turn around to see a floating city, however Ozma looked onward to see a man taking fire from what appears to be the 'local' law enforcement. Then from what he could perceive he saw the individual equip some kind of single hand held motorised chainsaw, but the weapon wasn't what surprised him next but rather the man jumping over the edge. The wizard knew in some way that this was a last stand sort of situations however Jinn showing these individuals in impossible scenarios he had some guesses of how this person could escape defeat. So the person in question did do something unsuspecting by hooking his chainsaw device to some kind of sky way transportation lines similar to what trams and trains use escaping capture. "… 'the so-called false shepherd'…" before Jinn changes the scene a large 'creature' flies past the floating duo chasing the person, the creature had a resemblance to that of large bird but mechanised and looked suspiciously like a giant person.
Before the wizard could analyse anymore he was thrust into a new location back on the ground feeling relieved truthfully this reincarnation he possessed at the moment had a problem with heights. Although he may feel relieved about the change of location, truthfully when he looked around he wanted to hide as a large eye but instead of a regular eye it was more alike to a camera with black tendrils sprouting from it surrounding the city he was currently in. Soon gunfire was heard with a man rounding a corner, with what seemed to be sort of undead people with glowing red eyes and white spore like spots over their bodies. "… 'the nightmare walker'…" Jinn said unsympathetically for people clearly suffering the person in question was blowing their brains out as he dodged the horde chasing him.
The scene changed again to that of what could only be summarised as some form underground network of tunnels, then on the ceiling, walls and floor some kind of insect like creatures came out of the rippling blood portals. These creatures were reminiscent of large ants but with pincers and blades for arms that looked as if they could cut through any armour. The 'ant' at the front of the group looked along the tunnel at screeched loudly gaining the attention of its hive soon all eyes of bugs and watchers were set on a person casually walking towards them holding a silver bladed cane with some bird like creature flying around him. This individual just like the others was shaded out not allowing for any particular features to be seen but the person raised is left hand upward into the air swiftly clicking his fingers resulting in the once shaded out hair to become a bleached white hair similar in contrast to a Schnee's.(Just like how the arc's have been around for a long time so has the Schnee's). Then Ozma heard a thunderous smash looking back only to see the disappearing carcasses of the ants incredibly damaged bodies. "… 'a son of Sparda'…" Jinn spoke softly looking at the retreating image of the individual having a look of sadness in her eyes.
Once more the scene changed to the scenery of a city foreign to the wizard as it was then swarmed with large robotic humanoid shaped, well in lame mans term, robots, surrounding one person clad in usual attire having large robotic gun's pointed in the individuals direction. Soon soldiers of foreign clothing surrounded the person weapons pointed to the person as well. However soon the chaos began as a large crimson robot with the right arm similar to that of beowulf but the colour of silver descended upon the other robots destroying them by either using its irregular right arm. Then the soldiers on the ground looked fearful but stayed their ground keeping the weapons locked on the person not doing anything. But before Ozma could witness anything else Jinn floated behind him covering the wizards eye's for only couple of seconds "… 'the former prince of Britannia'…" Jinn whispered seductively into his ear making him unable to hear the command phrase from the person then released his gaze seeing the soldiers now holding their pistols up against their temples. Followed by a symphony of gunshots with the soldiers just committing suicide Ozma was astonished these soldiers who seemed as though they would lay down their lives to execute this person but instead executed themselves. In those few seconds I lost eye contact, what did that person do? Truly the wizard was very confused just as he was about to demand the Jinn to inform him of what transpired she changed the scene into smoke again.
Now the smoke created a scene of the interior of some kind of mansion. With a roaring fireplace in sight with two fancy looking designed furniture located in front of the fire yet no individual insight this time. The wizard of old looked towards the being of knowledge wondering what was going on, but instead of the usual demeanour Jinn presented was now that of curiosity as she too looked around like Ozma trying to figure out where she was as well. This thoroughly confused Ozma and panicked him as well, the literal being of knowledge appeared to have no idea where they were how in the hell was that possible!? "Oh bloody hell, more guests how many times do I need to tell you buggers to bugger off back to…" Ozma turned around to see a man, not some shadowed out individual with only some key features available to identify but rather a man that spoke to them, then the reality of the situation hit him How the hell is he directly speaking to the both of us Jinn created these scenarios and such yet why do I get the forbidding feeling that she lost control? The wizard kept pondering a multitude of questions inside his mind.
Looking at the two individuals he was yelling at he stopped in his rant to get a good look at what he was dealing with. "Now this new, I've been to many places, met many powerful deities, demons, angels, wizards, witches and yet when I look at you miss, I sense foreign magic from you, magic that is very primal in nature, so the million pound question is who are you?" the master of the occult questioned taking out a cigarette and lighting it with the click of his fingers using magic.
"John Constantine, I presume?" Jinn asked, the man simply looked Jinn up and down sure he did like the view but it was more that of caution.
"Yeah that be me love, but in who might you be… and your friend?" He asked as he took a drag from his cancer stick.
"I am Jinn, a creation of the God of Light, to provide knowledge to those who seek it and this, is Ozma Chrono the individual who asked the question of 'Who do I seek out' to defeat his enemy an immortal witch". Jinn spoke in a tone that gave the appearance that she had said this line of introduction before.
"So your the offspring of a deity that is not only named after the mythical race of Djinn a being that trick mortals into asking three wishes that in the end corrupt the souls of the wishers at the end of day." He stated matter of factly. "But I'm not one to judge someone by their race, however the 'God of Light' that's something I haven't heard in a long time." He said, finishing his cigarettes by putting it out in a floating ashtray next to him.
"For it certainly has been a long time since I've reminisced about dear old Remnant, how is the old shit hole?" John said mockingly, as he made his way in front of the fireplace.
Finally after a silent wizard collected his thoughts he began to join the conversation.
"You speak as if you do not reside on Remnant" Ozma said confused by the man's comment.
"Well, that be because I was once a resident of Remnant however after some…" John stopped for a moment having a expression of sadness and regret plastered on his face. "… situations, I was transported to Earth a planet with some similar aspects to Remnant but very big differences as well, no Grimm here for example" he said with a dry chuckle. As there are worse things than Grimm on Earth.
Ozma exc has officially shut down. Different world's with no Grimm and ways to travel between said worlds.
"But I'm afraid whatever, Jinn told you, won't probably come to pass, listen to my advice mate I'm no knight in shining armour who's going to appear on Remnant and save the day". Just before Ozma was about to speak once again John stopped him by casting a spell ending Jinn's grasp on the reality.
Jinn said nothing as the two men spoke enjoying the interaction between them but alas Constantine has always been an elusive fellow although him being able to end her control on viewing that world. The feeling of not understanding something gave her sense of fulfilment knowing she still had so much to learn. I'll be seeing you, John~. "Sorry about that old man, but John has always been a shy person so please don't hold that against him, anyway that was the 'manipulator of demons' now, only three to go". Jinn said not letting the old man speak a word.
Next Jinn brought Ozma to an office building in appearance but the scene was incredibly chaotic as civilians were running to escape whilst as armoured black clad soldiers were currently pointing there guns at a single person. The situation was very tense, one movement, one sound, one look would set off a chain reaction of destruction. The person took a long breath exhaling then inhaling, then the leading soldier commanded to open fire, that's when they began to litter the air with gunfire but when they all ran out of ammo they looked to see the man slightly crouched holding out his arms to create some kind of distorted barrier keeping the bullets in place. "… 'the champion of time'…" Jinn said as the man literally blinked away resulting in the stopped bullets to then continue their trajectory. Noticing that the person was gone the soldiers begin to panic becoming disorganised then the man blinks once more behind half a dozen of the soldiers releasing a destructive blast that Ozma could only presume killed those men. Then the lead soldier began to retreat whilst his fellow soldiers played down covering fire but remained useless as the person responded with blasting the soldiers slowing them down phenomenally as he began sprinting so fast that Ozma couldn't keep up as the individual slammed their fist into the retreating soldier breaking his visor knocking him old cold.
Whilst the scene changed Ozma began to ponder about the current people he has witnessed so far their power, atmosphere, will to continue fighting but most importantly these individuals needed to be persuaded to fight together to defeat Salem. How? How would he manage to do that? What does he say 'oh hello can you risk your lives to defeat a so called immortal magician' yes that would clearly go well, he internally sighed, this was shaping to be a little too taxing on his mentality.
The smoke began to take shape of a burning city, it was as though Salem had directly led this attack, so much destruction, so much fire… so many dead. It was awful, it was disheartening, could this be the fate of what will befall Remnant and it's people if he does not act, what will happ- Ozma's internal berating of himself was interrupted as he heard someone digging amongst the rubble clearly looking for something or someone. Like everyone shown before this individual had only a shaded out visage nothing visible at the moment, then he saw it, Ozma saw the person stop in place, then he dropped to the knees and dug furiously at one spot. Then Ozma got a look at what this person had discovered a young red haired child covered in injuries from head to feet but clearly most definitely alive. That was then, Ozma played witness to what this persons specific feature was, it was tears, tears that showed so much happiness to find this barely clinging to life boy still living. "… 'a Hero of justice'…" Jinn spoke but unnoticed by the wizard, the relic of knowledge shed a single tear for she knew what befell this 'hero', everything that was and what was to come from this moment as it broke her heart, that a relic such as this 'Grail' relished in the suffering. As Jinn looked onto the boy and hero, Ozma realised that this moment was why he fought and this person, no, this hero, brought hope to him as the person in question cried up to the heavens repeating a single phrase "Thank you, for being alive". Jinn could take no more as she changed the scene in a fit of anger and sadness, as this was her gift, but her curse just the same.
"Our final destination old man". Jinn said.
The scene began in a forest, peaceful. Sunlight shined down through the treetops. Animals frolicked in the background. The wizard took in the sights even if it was nothing more than an illusion it still calmed him, suddenly a crossbow bolt launched from over his left shoulder quickly turning around seeing an individual fighting some kind of creature that had the head of a deer skull and a body like a tree yet thinner instead of bulky. The individual spun a long sword around with great skill slashing, dodging and slashing once more before then setting the creature aflame as if the person had a flamethrower in hand, with his left hand creating weird signs with his fingers. After the creature appeared dead the individual returned the blade that was wielded to their back which had a second long sword already sheathed. The person then began to behead the creature, "… and lastly 'the white wolf'" Jinn said whilst the person in question hooked the head onto a their waist before walking off out of the forest.
Finally the relic and wizard returned back to the open area they began this journey. "Only these people stand the best chance at quelling the darkness and relieving the witch of her 'curse' so I ask you Ozma, do you seek another question to be answered?" Jinn spoke incredibly serious towards the wizard.
'So in conclusion I seek twenty individuals with incredible power, skill, experience and unknown intentions *sigh* I have my work cut out for me, don't I'. He gazed at the form of the relic steeling his gaze gathering thoughts before bowing at the being.
"Thank you, Relic of- I mean Jinn your insight has been most helpful and gave me back what hope I had lost oh so long ago, it was an honour". Truthfully yes Jinn was teasing, liked to cast jokes and get a rise out of him, but Ozma knew better than to mess with something as powerful as a Relic, that and manners make the man.
"One more thing before I return to my slumber, until next called, a little hint for the future" Jinn spoke getting Ozma snap up quickly to return eye contact. "Do not invest your trust of a cowardly Lion, seek a general of metal, alongside a good witch to help you on your quest. Now one final thing Old man…" Jinn proceeded to float directly in front of him planting a kiss onto his cheek causing Ozma to stutter and gain a pigment of pink on his cheeks. "… Don't be a stranger~" she then mockingly swooned as her form collapsed back into the lamp.
-Present, year 859, date March 9-
Ozma was back into the moment, now looked outward of the view of Beacon academy sipping casually on his mug of rich atlesian brand coffee. Over the long journey to the present Ozma, know going by the alias Ozpin has yet to find a single of the foretold warrior's although James did mention the production of a robot that could produce aura that did give Ozpin great pleasure knowing that most likely soon the changing of the wind would come. Honestly it was funny only after bringing the general into the circle did he realise Jinn's hint with the inclusion of Glynda with her last name being Goodwitch. Jinn truly liked to play with him, but that hint not only helped to bring those two into the circle but brought forth of slight amount of dread as the 'hint' spoke of his assistant and good friend the general but also spoke of a 'cowardly lion' with almost a hundred percent certainty that his fellow headmaster was that warning Jinn spoke of. But thanks to Jinn's warning Ozpin has other hidden circle members watching over said headmaster, well former headmaster, due to one of Lionhearts regular checks of his files did the agent discover a plan revolving around the Vital Festival and the fleet of Atlas.
After receiving the information the General placed Lionheart under arrest and is currently incarcerated in Atlas.
Ozpin took another swig of his brew thinking over recent events this year alone, firstly this years applicants were exceptional and would prove to become great Huntsman and Huntresses. Yet their attitudes towards authority and their fellow peers still remained an ongoing work in progress.
However the current predicament with the young Mr Arc has proven to be incredibly taxing on both himself and teachers. Mr Arc was a diamond in the rough all teachers at Beacon knew that even James headmaster of Atlas academy stated interest in Mr Arc as was trying to persuade for a transfer to Atlas but missed his chance when he had to make sure to properly imprison Lionheart.
It truthfully was becoming to disrupting for both the teachers and students as groups formed of those defending him whilst others demanding him to leave Beacon or else and saying more 'inappropriate' suggestions that disgusted the Headmaster.
Enough was enough.
The headmaster walked to his desk pressing a key that controlled the speaker system of the academy.
"Would all students currently on Beacon campus calmly make their way to the auditorium, this is requested by myself, Headmaster Ozpin, I expect everyone who can to attend, and if I discover that you did not attend expect punishment of the highest order, I repeat would all student from 1st to 4th years to make their way to the auditorium in the next 45 minutes". Releasing the button whilst grabbing his cane making way to the elevator.
Forever Falls Forest, year 858, date September 17-
"OH SHIT" yelled aloud by a young man wearing a very well tailored suit or was, as it was covered with burn marks, cuts, loose thread and dirt stains all over. "THE HELL DID I DO!?" the man yelled whilst continuing his retreat from his chaser.
"I. SAID. STOP… FUS RO DAH" the chaser roared as a great force launched the young man against a tree resulting in the world starting to become black as he faded into unconsciousness.
To be continued in chapter 2 - A robot, assassin and a emperor walk into a bar.
Okay first chapter is out, please let me know if its series worth pursuing as I will try my hardest to make this into a long series.
Sup readers and fellow writers names Prophecy, here to deliver some news so my first story is a Rwby fanfic following Jaune Arc or rather a multitude of Arcs as this will not be one of those Jaune multiverse reaction fic's but I do appreciate the work that those people do always get's a laugh from me.
However this fic revolves bringing over 20 and I mean that, different versions of Jaune from different universes to Remnant. This story will contain betrayal attributes as I do love me some drama but I'm a merciful writer so I won't have all the Jaune's hating everyone the whole time.
Although if you read this little prologue to the story you may be confused, well let me just say this is an origin story to the character that starts this whole story off and most likely I'll use this prologue for other stories later.
Now a big shout out to Masseffect- TxS, your stories got me into reading fan fiction just wanted to say your an amazing writer and hope you read my story/stories and enjoy the rollercoaster.
Now the plot of the story is this,
"Jaune Arc of team JNPR has been discovered as forger by the student body by someone (It wasn't anyone from CRDL) to clear his head Jaune goes to Emerald Forest to kill some Grimm. However after
slaying multitudes of Grimm a unknown being of Godly power shatters Jaune's soul, sending the shards of said soul to different worlds for saving said worlds, causing certain events to set in motion or simply for unknown reasons. Although the being is not done with Jaune yet bringing all his incarnations back to Remnant six months before said being shattered him across the multiverse, the day of initiation".
That is all I will say for now on the plot but I hope it gains a lot of interest of you the readers.
Now the 'Warriors' list, congratulations to those who managed to guess who each individual was but here the list of the different Jaune's that shall be part of the story-
Someone touched by flame - Is Zuko from the Avatar series, okay so I chose Zuko cause he was a favourite of mine plus a potential fight of Zuko vs Cinder would be awesome. Anyway Zuko will go by, Zuko Arc in this story as after the defeat of the fire nation this Jaune after returning to Remnant goes by his former last name when he was a native of Remnant.
The king of kings - This is pretty obvious but for those that don't, this is a Jaune that became Noctis Lucis Caelum from Final Fantasy 15 as it was an awesome game in my personal opinion. In the story there is no changes to his name and yes he can still use the ring of the lucii and eventually summons cause why not. Oh and a little note all the version of Jaune's have the same face only but different hair styles, hair colour, height, build, eye colour etc.
Machine with a soul - Dun Dun DUNNNN, Cayde- 6 is back baby all hail the true king. Yeah so Cayde from the destiny game series will be joining the quest to save Remnant your welcome. No but in all serious I feel Cayde will be exceptional Jaune Arc incarnation.
A dead man walking - So congrats to those that got this one, this is Ronan O'Connor from the game murder soul suspect this was a game not to wildly known but a game I enjoyed anyway rather than O'Connor as his last name this version goes by O'Arc because I want a certain amount of these reincarnations to have Arc as a last name to make more sense for the future Arc clan.
A nightmare to monsters - This was a tricky one for this is Trevor Belmont from Castlevania Netflix and yes I do know of the games as well cause I didn't want only magic wielding, one hit killing guys on Remnant no I wanted some Jaune's to have nothing more than be human with no powers only skill.
A person with the soul of a dragon - Rejoice for the dragon born has come, yes the main character from Skyrim is in this bitch. So quick thing a Jaune woke up in Skyrim and get's put on the cart to Helgen then it follows exactly like the game a thing explaining this will be in chapter 2. And since Jaune went by Jaune Arc in Skyrim now back on Remnant he goes by Dovahkiin Arc.
A living shadow - Now this is an assassin from the assassin creed games which one you ask well it would be from Assassin's creed 4 Black Flag. For this is Edward Kenway. I apologise for those complaining that it could have been any of the other one's but I loved Black flag and Edwards skill set of sea warfare and assassin skill set will greatly create some prime story arc's.
The surgeon of death - Law from the one piece anime will be in this but I own nothing of any characters used from games or anime/cartoons. Law is my favourite character aside from the straw hats so when I was contemplating characters BOOM here comes Law D Arc returning to Remnant so I hope this choice was well made.
The wanderer - Here's Dogmeat and his faithful companion the man out of time. Firstly yes Dogmeat will be in this so hooray and second the vault dweller goes by John Arc as this incarnation was dropped in America at the age he left being 17, then when of age joined the army met Nora had Shaun then entered the vault following the story line of Fallout 4 love you Bethesda.
Someone loved by aura - Now this is actually an originally designed version of Jaune Arc for this one focuses on being an aura master having full control over his aura able to manifest it into different aura spells that I have a decent list made of. Okay so this Jaune was instead thrust into a different Remnant where there was no huntsman academies or kingdoms this was a peaceful world where aura masters flourished. Then the day after graduating into become the highest recognised standing among aura masters Jaune was pulled back to his original Remnant now going by Nexus Arc. Since I decided no character version of Jaune gets to go by this name.
The gunslinger of the west - Well some may have guest John Marston but nope it's Arthur Morgan. I like red dead redemption 2 so I figured having Arthur around would be inspirational and entertaining for you the readers.
The vigilante - Hello Aiden Pierce from Watchdogs the game. Yes, yes Aiden has arrived for why you may ask cause having that skill set of his will be incredibly valuable and I have plans for him oh so many plans *cough* get Jacque arrested *cough*. Sorry about that.
The so-called false shepherd - Booker Dewitt is here to stay. Yes I like Bioshock infinite and thought Jaune as Booker being so cool, I actually read a fanfic story of a Jaune that got transported to Columbia and might I say bravo to the writer of that fanfic love your work. But my version is that this Jaune/Booker is has been on earth since birth not transported but rather was reborn as a child grew up had Elizabeth sold her then proceeded to Columbia. I swear on my life I'm not copying anything from other people's fanfics. I'd also appreciate some help down the line. Yes also to if there will eventually be an appearance of songbird.
The nightmare walker - So this incarnation is that of the main character from the evil with games Sebastian Castellanos now going by Sebastian arc in this story. Evil within is amazing always will be to me and I wanted to show my appreciation to the games.
A son of Sparda - This is an obvious one so yes this character is V from devil may cry 5 and the mange. I felt V didn't get much lime light and the fact he will probably never return again so I decided to have a V version Jaune so yeah. Also V is not dying in this story as thanks to whatever power that sent and brought him back stabilised his condition permanently.
The former prince of Britannia - All hail Zero. Okay so I'm only using the Code Geass series instead of the movie adaptations sorry not sorry. Lelouch was a tactical genius even without his power so having him lead the Arc clan would be perfect so in my story version it's Jaune Vi Britannia but when this Jaune goes to Remnant once again he goes by Zero Vi Britannia, yes I know its weird but hear me out so this Jaune was use to being called by his first name so he knew choosing a new name would have be something he could get used to being called quickly so why not go by one of his already created aliases, exactly so Zero was perfect in my opinion.
Manipulator of Demons - So John Constantine is a version of Jaune, yes I chose from DC universe I like marvel but John is an all time awesome dude in my opinion plus his accent and wit will be insightful and having a warlock in the clan raises survival by a lot. Also that little thing of John being able to talk to Jinn and Ozma was for entertainment value and show that John is on a very high level of arcane knowledge.
The champion of time - Jack Joyce from Quantum break game, simply put thought it be a challenge and amazing to have in my story goes by Jack Arc however in both the Remnant universe and Earth universe.
A hero of justice - So going to be honest real tempted to do Shirou rather than Kiritsugu but then I realised Kiritsugu does get much appreciation on other fic's so I thought what the hell. Plus having his origin bullets is going to be awesome when hunting a certain feathery prey.
The white wolf - This version of the iconic Witcher from the games is Jaune of Rivea now going by Wolf of Rivea on Remnant. Loved the games, loved the series on Netflix so yeah a Witcher is on Remnant so pore him some ale.
So that's the full character roster… for now and to make things interesting eventually a vote will take place choosing some new additions to the clan. Now onto the topic of getting other characters to show up on Remnant is some will show up but not every version of Jaune will have someone appear from their worlds.
Now be well my readers and writers live long, live proud and write more fan fiction. FOR THE PEOPLE!
