A/N. Hey guys Lazerwolf1 here and before you ask 'Is this based off of SAO?' the answer is no. They did not make that concept, it's been done before that show existed and if anything it's based more of Log Horizon, but just loosely with the premise. It's also gonna have a bit of its own thing after all, and add something to the story of thoughts in the theater.
This will have a focus on the Schnee sisters.
Also to those saying I'm making Ironwood look like the villain, I'm just showing him the way I perceive him. I see him as an asshole who wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice anyone or anything for the so called "greater good" even when only he believes in it.
He bypassed Ozpin when wanting to defend the tournament, thinks bringing an army to a festival is a good idea and acts with a might makes right way of thinking. I see him as a jackass with a stick way to far up his ass and doesn't think anyone can change from bad to good, instead he sees a criminal up to something. That's how I had written him.
So anyway this will be chapter 3 I hope you all enjoy it.
Also shout out to Phoenix Warehouse Productions for helping me come up with the usernames for some of the characters in this chapter. I'm not very good at naming so I really appreciate it. He also gave me some suggestions that i really liked so thanks dude you are a real help.
Inspiration: (loosely) Log Horizon
So while Wolf was busy sifting through different universes for everyone, trying to find a more light hearted one for them after the one they last saw made a few people either depressed (or jealous), everyone was trying to find something to do. Blake found the library while Weiss was still looking. Ren had found a place to meditate and Nora along with Pyrrha found the training room… it's gonna take a while the clean even with godly powers. Ruby and Yang decided to stay with their family so they could catch up with Summer. All in all everyone found something to do.
Meanwhile Ozpin's group were sitting far away from Ironwood for supporting what his alternate tried to do. While that was happening Qrow got up to go talk to Summer since it had been quite a long time since the last time they could have some time alone.
"Hey shortstack, wanna talk for old times sake?" asked Qrow.
Summer got up and walked over to him, "Sure thing stilts," she then wrapped him in a big hug, "it's really good to see you again Qrow I've really missed you."
Ok this has just been weird Yang and Ruby just can't figure this out, everytime their dad talked to Summer he's been acting like he is seeing an old friend not his wife, instead Qrow is the one acting that way and they can't figure it out. And now that they think about it, since Ruby and Yang are only two years apart, that means that Tai didn't exactly give it much time to move on from Raven and remarry with Summer, so now they're just confused to boot. Maybe Tai was in a relationship with both of them at the same time? That's probably it so they stop thinking about it, at least for now but it keeps nagging at the back of their minds.
What they don't know is that there is a secret that only Qrow, Summer and Tai know. However unbeknownst to even them, Wolf also knows the secret and wonders if he should tell them to reveal it or to do it himself.
But then Summer had thought of something and walked up to the god, "Excuse me Mr. Wolf but I have a question."
"Huh? Oh uh… go ahead." said Wolf who stopped looking through some of the universe's.
"Well I had just been wondering why it is you brought me back is all. Was it to let me reconnect with my family?" asked Summer.
"Wait did I not say?" asked Wolf to which Summer shook her head. "Shit I knew I was forgetting something! Well the reason I brought you here was because I intend to bring you back to life, as in when I send everyone back you go with them." the family was surprised to hear this revelation, "I think Ruby has gone without her mother for long enough don't you?"
Ruby was ecstatic to hear this, she was going to get her mother back after so many years. She couldn't stop her tears from being shed as she embraced her mother and didn't let go for some time. She then looked at Wolf with a big smile and tears of joy, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how happy I am to hear this." Wolf just returned her smile.
"Awesome, keep this up and I might convert to Wolfism." joked Yang.
"Please don't. I'm not the kind of god that wants to be prayed to if you don't mind." pleaded the god. Wolf has always prefered being a lesser known god if he had to be known, the whole people praying to you just seems like a headache.
Meanwhile Salem was wishing Wolf was around when she tried to bring Ozma back. If all it took was sitting in a movie theater and watching different universes to bring someone back then she would have done it.
"My goddess, are you alright?" asked Tyrian.
"I'm fine Tyrian." replied Salem.
Wolf had eventually found a universe to show and called everyone back. Nora and Pyrrha told them about how all their weapons were there and even lockers that had their names and said they were from different universes, the implications meaning that there are weapons from some of the other universe's there and they want to give them a try later.
When Blake came back she said that the library had books from other universe's and even a bookshelf for other universe's, but right now only had the book of the king Jaune universe and all the pages after the point they got to was blank. But the parts that came before it telling the history before all they saw was interesting.
Weiss then walked in the room with a smile on her face, "Hey ice queen, you seem happy. Find a room you like?" asked Yang.
"Why yes I did and it was quite enjoyable." replied Weiss ignoring what Yang called her. Weiss had found the game room, and no one knew this but Weiss was a huge gamer. She keeps this a secret from everyone because it is unbecoming for the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company to play such childish games, but it was the only time she could actually have any fun being stuck in her room most of the time. The head butler Klein had always sneaked games into her room so she would have something to do, and always made sure her father never knew.
"Hey Blake, why are you still wearing your bow?" asked Ruby and before Blake could open her mouth, "I think everyone already knows you're a faunus by looking at your parents." continued the reaper. Blake thought about it and realized she was right, so she had taken off her bow and she would be lying if it didn't feel better, sometimes having her bow on hurt her cat ears.
Nora found Blake's ears very adorable and asked if she could touch them, but then Ren had her sit down. Blake just kinda chuckled at that.
The screen turns on and we see a strange place that looks like it was ripped out of a fantasy game.
Weiss felt like that place looked familiar to her, but she couldn't place why so she decided to keep watching and hoped it would come to her.
In fact it was. This is the popular MMORPG, World of Fantasy Online or WFO for short.
Now Weiss knew why it was familiar! She played this game all the time, and this was the adventurer town of Gristal and she frequented there all the time with her friend she met online, G0ldCrescentKnight, the two of them made a great team in the game. She began to wonder if she would see him here- WAIT! What if everyone saw her here? They would find out that she is a gamer and then who knows what would happen, 'Calm down Weiss calm down, maybe they'll just think it's part of this universe. Yeah that's probably it. There is no need to worry.' What Weiss didn't know is that her sister Winter also played this game and was wondering the same thing.
"I knew I saw that place before!" shouted Ruby.
"Oh yeah I see it to sis." said Yang.
"Friend Ruby, you also play this computer game?" asked Penny.
"Yeah I do! So wait, you do to Penny?" asked Ruby.
"Yes someone I know introduced me to it." replied the former android while looking Winter's way.
"Wow so you guys play this? Cool depending how this goes I might try it out myself." said Sun.
Many others were just confused as to why they were being shown a video game.
Ironwood on the other hand felt like that was a massive waste of time, it's no secret he hated video games to some in his ranks.
Cinder especially thought it was stupid, she never had an interest in games thinking they were trivial.
The scene goes to the outskirts of Gristal, the scene shows a man laying on the ground in full plate armor and a white fur cloak and white trimming. The helmet appeared to have wings on the side. His class appeared to be that of a paladin.
'It's Crescent!' shouted the Schnee sisters in their heads. They were both happy to see him because he was always there for them when they needed someone to talk to, Winter thought of him as her best friend and closest confidant.
Weiss on the other hand used to have a crush on her online friend, and a part of her may still do. They both definitely had a lot to complain about given their father, so they both have always been happy to have him as a friend.
"*whistle* That's some nice looking armor he's got there." admired Coco. She could tell that the armor was both stylish and functional at the same time, something she could appreciate.
Crescent got up and felt his head and noticed he was in armor. He walked to a lake and saw his reflection and saw he was in his avatars armor.
What happened to him? The last thing he remembered was logging in to WFO and installing the eleventh expansion, then a flash of light appeared and the next thing he knew, he's in the game. "What... what happened? How did this happen?" asked Crescent.
"Awesome I wanna be inside a game, it sounds like so much fun!" Stated the pink bomber of JNPR. Ren had to ask her to calm down then when that didn't work he just had the theater summon some pancakes, thankfully that did the trick.
Many were very surprised to hear this, being trapped in a game sounds both interesting and horrifying at the same time.
The Schnee sisters were especially surprised by this and thought that would be amazing. But then Weiss thought he Crescent sounded familiar, almost like- no it couldn't be... could it?
"Interesting... I wonder what could have happened to lead to such a thing?" asked Oobleck.
"If that world has any strange and incredible beasts to fight, I wouldn't mind being in there." said Port.
He got up and tried to get his bearings. And then he noticed just how real the game had become. He could smell the moisture in the air and see how bright the sun is.
This was crazy, he was hoping this was all just a weird dream but no, this is real and he was really inside the game he loved playing. He didn't know whether or not to hope his friends Loy&leDu$t$oldier and L&dyDu$t were here with him. On one hand it would be nice to have his friends with him, but on the other he didn't want them to be trapped also.
The Schnee sisters were happy their friend was worried about them, but they would want to be there to help him through this.
Crescent went into town and saw he wasn't the only player stuck in the game, and they were just as confused as him if not more so. One player was even shouting at an NPC vender to connect him to the GM, and it was scaring the NPC who was trying to calm the boy down. This showed that even the AI in the game had become real.
"GM? NPC? What does that even mean? asked Port.
"Gamemaster and none-playable character. It's a thing with video games, especially MMO's." answered Penny. A few of the teens in the audience nodded in agreement.
In the confusion Crescent had tripped had tripped and when hit the ground something appeared before his eyes.
"Wait is that the menu? No it.. it's the status screen." he said. He reached out hoping if he could touch it. He could and he presses the settings screen, "Yeah hehe, show me the way out." Crescent said to the screen hoping it would work, but to no avail. He then tried pressing the logout button but nothing worked.
"You've got to be kidding, seriously?" asked the annoyed player.
"Well looks like he is really stuck, sucks to be him I guess." said an unsympathetic Mercury.
"Shut up! You wouldn't be so smug if it was you in there peg leg." spat Yang. Many of her friends agreed.
"So where is Jaune in all this?" asked Coco. That was a good question, one that the others wanted to know too.
After that failed he then saw something, "Wait what is- My friend list!" he immediately pressed it and saw that Loy&l, an elven cryomancer, and L&dy, an elven summoner, were online. He called them both and hoped they picked up.
The first to pick up was L&dyDu$t. "Crescent, is that you? Oh thank god, I'm so glad to hear from you!" she shouted.
Then Loy&lDu$t$oldier had picked up as well, "L&dy, Crescent! it's good to hear your voices, but what's going on?" asked Loy l.
"I don't know, but that's something I think we all want to find out. Meet me outside Gristal by the lake, ok?" asked Crescent. They had both agreed and went to meet up with him.
Weiss was nervous and started to sweat like a pig, she was going to appear now and she hoped that her avatar would make people unable to recognise her. She also hoped nobody paid attention to her voice.
Winter on the other hand was interested to see herself appear in one of these, though she does wonder what Weiss and her mother will think if they find out about her.
When Crescent got to the lake he sat down and tried to figure this all out, just why the hell did this happen and what could have gotten everyone stuck in the game, it just didn't make sense.
But then he is thrown out of his thoughts when he hears a voice, "Crescent, over here!" he turned around and was surprised by the face he saw.
"No. Way. Is that- it can't be can it?" asked a confused Yang. Ruby, Blake as well as NPR were equally confused. None were more surprised as Winter, she couldn't believe it. Willow was also surprised by what she was seeing, why was…
Weiss had now reached new levels of nervousness that she had not thought possible before, she was sweating bullets now and it wasn't stopping. Why did her avatar have her face, is it part of them getting sucked into the game
"Weiss it's you! What are you doing there?" asked Ruby.
"Well- I uh…" she then threw her face into her hands with an atomic blush on her face. Never in her life had she wanted to die as much as she did right now.
"It's alright Weiss, no one will judge you. Everyone has their own way of having fun, and we won't think less of you for playing video games. You looked past me being a faunus and didn't judge me for my past, so why would we judge you for your hobby?" assured Blake and the rest of her friends agreed.
"Yeah Weiss, it's snow problem we understand." punned Yang.
Everyone groaned at that but Weiss felt better hearing that from her friends but then she looked to her sister and mother, she was afraid of what they would think.
But then her mother noticed this and surprised her, "Weiss dear don't worry, I knew all about Klein bringing you those games to your room. Don't worry your father has no idea, he probably has his head to far up his… well you know, to even notice." assured Willow who then took a sip from her whine.
"Yes Weiss it's alright. In fact I think your in for a surprise in a minute or so." said Winter. She was happy to learn that she and her sister share an interest. Weiss was instead happy by what her mother had said while also confused by what Winter said.
L&dyDu$t, now discovered to be Weiss with elf ears, ran up to Crescent and hugged him, "Crescent, I'm so happy to see you! What's happened, the last thing I remember was logging in and then I'm here?" asked Weiss, but she then tilted her head when all Crescent did was stare at her.
"W-Weiss, is that you?" asked Crescent. This surprised Weiss.
"Do you… know me?" she asked, surprised by this.
Weiss was just as confused as her counterpart. How does Crescent know who she- WAIT if all these are about Arc and this has been focusing on Crescent then…
Crescent went to take his helmet off. He figured that if Weiss has her face then that would mean he would have his.
Crescent lifted up his helmet and when his face was shown Weiss was not prepared for what she saw. She saw familiar golden blonde hair and a pair of sapphire blue eyes. Crescent was none other than Jaune Arc, the boy who constantly asked her out and then blindsided her by helping her with Neptune.
"Arc, your Crescent?!" shouted Weiss
Weiss was just as dumbstruck, how was Arc and Cresc-, 'Wait, G0ldenCrescentKnight. Ugh it's so obvious, why didn't I put the dots together? I'm so stupid!' shouted Weiss in her head.
Winter was also surprised to find out her best friend online is the boy that her sister told her about in her letters. It seems things are very interesting to say the least, and she hasn't even shown up yet.
"What about you Weiss, your L&dyDu$t?" Jaune shouted back just as surprised.
Both of them couldn't believe this was happening right now, their friend online was someone they knew at beacon.
But then they were taken out of their confusion when they heard a voice.
"Well I'm not going to lie, this is… quite unexpected." said the voice. When Jaune and Weiss turned to see who it was, and when they did Jaune recognized by the clothes that it was Loy&lDu$t$oldier, but Weiss knew it as someone else.
Weiss' eyes nearly popped out of her skull when she saw who it was, "W-W-Win…"
"Winter?!" shouted Weiss.
When Weiss turned to her sister, Winter just smiled and said, "Surprise Weiss, it seems we share a hobby. It is quite refreshing to know I have something in common with my sister." said Winter who began to chuckle.
"But how- when…" stuttered Weiss.
"Well my job can get frustrating," Winter then turned to Ironwood, "for a number of reasons. So playing games has been a good way for me to relax and vent." she then explained. Weiss could understand given how she has had to put up with her father for years now. She actually felt a little relieved to learn this as well.
"You know now that I think about it, the usernames the three of you use are pretty obvious." said Sun.
"Yeah seriously, G0ldenCrescentKnight, L&dyDu$t and Loy&lDu$t$oldier? Why didn't the two of you figure that out, I mean your sisters shouldn't you know each other enough to figure that out?" asked Neptune
"Winter, what are you doing here?" asked Weiss.
"I think we both know the answer to that Weiss. Though this is still surprising to say the least." replied Winter.
"So wait you to know each other?" asked Jaune.
"This is my sister Winter." explained Weiss.
"Oh well that explains the resemblance." said Jaune. He walked over to Winter and held out his hand, "It's nice to officially meet you, and since I know your name it's only fair I introduce myself. My name is Jaune Arc."
Winter shook his hand a said, "Likewise, it's nice to finally meet you in person Jaune."
"I'm surprised he didn't use that dumb pickup line." said Weiss. Many who didn't know about it were confused by that.
"In his defence he doesn't know its a pick up line. Nicolas over here told him to use it when he meets a girl. Of course he interpreted that as every time he meets a girl not when he meets a girl." explained Wolf. Everyone even his wife and daughter then looked at the head of the Arc house hold, and he kinda shrank in his seat.
"Honey, no more bad love advice for our son understand?" asked Juniper.
Nicholas wanted to argue but then his wife glared at him, "...Yes dear." Saphron just laughed at how whipped her father was.
Weiss was still trying to wrap her head around all this and just walked off for a bit. Jaune noticed this and felt a little down at that, but then he was surprised was Winter brought him into a hug. This really surprised Jaune and he then look toward Winter.
"I just thought I would take this opportunity to thank you in person, for all our talks and helping me I mean." said Winter.
"Winter… what are you talking about?" asked a confused Weiss. Winter was a little surprised if not a little nervous, it looks like her other secret was about to come out.
"You helped me get the confidence to accept myself even when I was afraid what my father would think, and even helped me get the courage to tell Ciel how I felt about her. So I just wanted to tell you… thank you for being a good friend." said Winter with some tears in her eyes, when Jaune saw this he decided to return the hug.
"Winter I had no idea… but I would never judge you, I hope you know that." said Weiss who walked over and gave her sister a hug. Winter was happy to hear this and then looked toward her mother.
"Don't worry dear it's all right, in fact I'm happy for you this means you won't be trapped in a miserable marriage like me." assured Willow. Winter then turned to Qrow expecting him to have some form of comment.
Qrow noticed this and shrugged, "Hate to disappoint you Ice-queen but I may bust your chops about a lot of things, but someone's sexuality isn't one of them." said the dusty old bird who then drank some of his whisky. This had surprised Winter even further though it was a pleasant one at least.
Ironwood however wasn't as understanding, the man has always been old fashioned and that included being homophobic, "I must say I'm surprised at you Schnee, I wasn't expecting that kind of thing from you or for Ciel to be apart of it as well." said the general with ve on in his words. Before Winter would have been disheartened by that but after the last session, she couldn't care less what he thought. "Then there is the fact that Ciel is your subordinate, that is extremely unprofessional behaviour." he continued.
"Hey why don't you leave her alone?! It's none of your business who she loves so butt out!" shouted Ilia. Before coming here she would have been surprised that she stood up for a human, let alone a Schnee. But even though they only saw to worlds before this one they made her start to think about a few things.
And also as a lesbian herself, she can't stand someone being harrassed for their sexual preferences. She is actually happy that this Jaune person would help Winter come to terms with herself
"I don't need to be criticised by a terrorist." growled Ironwood. This left Ozpin and his group to give a disapproving look and everyone else to glare at him even the bad guys, they may be villains but they don't judge people for their sexuality. In Fact this gave Sienna a new reason to hate him, she had hated Ironwood for a long time for how much he stood against the white fang and being here she just finds more and more reason to.
"No problem Winter, what are friends for? This gives me even more reason to find some way to get us out of here, so you can see Ciel again." said Jaune.
Winter felt happy about this and was glad to have a friend like Jaune.
Winter in the theater felt the same way as her alternate. Jaune had been there for her in the past even when they didn't know each others names, and for that she was grateful.
Weiss was also grateful to Jaune for helping her sister, and she was filled with even more guilt for how she treated him in the past. Maybe she shouldn't have been so quick to judge him and think he was like her previous suitors.
Salem felt as though thinking were getting interesting and couldn't but wonder how this would progress.
"That does seem like something Jaune would do isn't it?" said Pyrrha, many of the students agreed.
After that they all went back into town and hoped they could find some info or clues or something to help them figure things out.
They had asked around but they couldn't find anything, no matter where they tried. They asked the NPC's who prefer to be called the people of the land, but they still got nothing.
Jaune noticed that Weiss has been looking away from him alot, and feels that she must be unhappy that he turned out to be Crescent.
Weiss was now flooded with guilt now. Had she really been so cruel to Jaune that he would think she felt so badly about him?
But then Jaune heard a voice calling him, one he recognized. He turned around and saw a familiar pair of silver eyes rush at him.
"Jaune I can't believe it's you, I'm so happy to see you!" shouted the ever recognizable Ruby, whose class was an elven hunter.
Behind her was what looked like a blonde half orc. She could clearly be recognized as Yang, and from the looks of things, her class was a monk.
And then there was Ruby's friend Penny, who appeared to be a clay golem geomancer.
He saw that their usernames were R0seRe&per, G0ldenLi0nGirl and &tlasGirl.
"Look it's me! I'm glad we found Jaune." stated Ruby.
"I had a feeling we would show up since we play this game too." said Yang.
"Yes and it would seem that I met up with you friend Ruby." said a happy Penny.
"Oh when we get home we should all play together. Wouldn't that be so cool?" exclaimed Ruby. Yang and Penny agreed, then Ruby looked to Weiss.
"I… suppose it would be nice." said Weiss, to which Ruby glomped onto her.
"Well hey there Vomit-boy, didn't expect to see you, and even more surprising to see you Ice-queen and… older Ice-queen?" said a perplexed Yang.
"Ahem this is my sister, Winter, Xiao Long." said Weiss in an annoyed tone.
"Oh Ms. Winter I'm so happy to see you, I have been really enjoying this game and I can't thank you enough for recommending it for me." said Penny.
"I'm glad you're enjoying it, Penny." said Winter.
"Wait, you're the one who introduced this game to Penny?" asked Yang.
"Why yes I was." stated Winter. "Ciel is Penny's caretaker and when I spent time with her, I got to meet Penny a couple of times. She always seemed bored because she never got to do much, so I suggested playing this game and she seemed to really enjoy it.
So as they all caught up and tried to figure out how to get out, Jaune believed that perhaps since they were sucked in here because of the eleventh expansion, what if they have to beat it to get out?.
"I mean, that could be it Jaune. But that would mean we would have to face several bosses and we don't know what happens if we die here, will we respawn like in the game, or will we die for good?" asked Winter.
"Hm... that is a good question. Many of the attributes of a game are still there, but what is the extent of that range?" asked Watts. Many wondered that too.
"That's a risk we'll have to take Winter, I can't think of anything else." said Jaune.
"Well then we're just gonna have to level up a bit so we can do it right? Let's get to grinding!" shouted Yang.
"Hell yeah other me has the right idea, get to a high enough level and you can take down any boss.
"Yang not all games are that easy, sometimes it needs you to do a specific thing or get a certain item or something." interjected Ruby, this just made Yang grumble in annoyance.
"Exactly, our others should try coming up with a better plan then that, who knows what could happen if they go in unprepared." added in Weiss.
"Ugh… you guys are no fun. You know that?" complained Yang.
Jaune noticed Weiss walking off and decided to talk to her. When he found where she went, he saw her sitting on the ground looking at the sky. He walked up to her. "The stars are beautiful aren't they?" asked Jaune, doing so startled Weiss.
"O-oh hey Jaune." said Weiss who still couldn't bring herself to look at him, this made Jaine wince a bit. "Yeah the stars are beau-"
"I'M SORRY!" shouted Jaune startling Weiss one again.
This surprised everyone in the audience as well. Especially Weiss, what could Jaune be apologizing for?
"I'm... I'm sorry for never taking no for an answer back at Beacon, and I'm sorry I turned out to be Crescent, I know you'd probably want it to be anyone but me." said Jaune with a sad look on his face. Seeing that look, Weiss felt a knot in her chest.
Weiss off screen felt the same, she felt like the worst person on the face of remnant right now, and wanted to make it up to Jaune somehow.
Jaunes friends and family also felt hurt seeing Jaune like that, especially his mother, his sister, Ruby, Pyrrha Velvet, and even Neo. They wished they could jump on the screen and give him a hug to help him feel better.
"Honey, was part of your ''romantic advice' or Jaune to be overly persistent?" asked Juniper.
"Uh may- maybe?" hesitated Nicholas.
"Dad it's official, you give the worst dating advice." said Saphron.
"And if I remember correctly, it was me who asked you out, not the other way around. Thank god for that, otherwise we would have never gotten together and had our children." said Juniper. His wife and daughter ganging up on him just made Nicholas slump in his chair in defeat.
Weiss told him that she isn't disappointed in him but in herself and she told him why he rejected him, she told him how she had many suited but they were all the same seeking her money or status. So when Jaune asked her out at Beacon she assumed he was the same as all of them.
Hearing this the rest of team RWBY gave Weiss a hug to help her.
"It's ok Weiss, you'll always have us to be there for you when you need us." reassured Ruby.
"Yeah Weiss-cream, that's what friends are for." said Yang. Blake gave Weiss a reassuring smile, this made Weiss feel better knowing she had such caring friends.
"Weiss I'm sorry to hear that but that's not why I asked you out at all, i hadn't even heard of the SDC when I first met you." said Jaune.
"I know, I found out after the dance when Neptune told me that you convinced him to dance with me instead of asking me while I was on the rebound. What I want to know though is why if it wasn't for my money or influence" asked Weiss.
"*sigh* Well when I first met you I just wanted to get to know you. You acted like you were proud and cold, but I could tell by looking at you that you seemed lonely…"
"Wait... what?" asked Weiss who was completely caught off guard, 'What does he mean by that, was I that obvious?'
"Well hearing how you grew up I guess thinking back on it, it does seem pretty obvious Weiss." said Pyrrha. "I should have seen it myself since I was basically the same way, people always trying to get close to me for my fame and those I was friends with before distancing themself from me."
"I'm sorry for how I acted when meeting you Pyrrha, I guess the way I was raised got in the way of me seeing it in you." said Weiss. Pyrrha gave her a reassuring smile to let her know it's ok.
"and then when I heard your song mirror-mirror, I learned just how lonely you really were and I know what that's like. I may have had seven sisters but I didn't have a lot of friends growing up. Somewhere either intimidated by my sisters or bullied me because I was the awkward guy or that they said I could never live up to my family." He continued.
"It's true. Jaune wasn't the most popular kid at home. *sigh* He always had trouble communicating with other people." said Nicholas.
"Yes my baby is a sweet boy but sometimes that isn't enough to make friends." continued Juniper.
"There had been times people took advantage of that and pretended to be his friend just to get close to us when he was growing up." said Saphron. "Though one good thing that came out of it was that thanks to him I got to meet Terra. She was one of the few if not the only one who didn't take advantage of him." She took Terra's hand and they gave each other warm smiles.
All of Jaune's friends felt sad hearing that and a few could relate. Blake and Velvet because of faunus discrimination, and Ruby being just as awkward if not more so than Jaune, and she also knew what it was like for people to use her to get close to Yang so she felt she could relate to Jaune.
"But as I got to know you I learned so many things about you. I know you're strong, smart, talented and determined. You have the voice of an angel which is kinda why I called you that alot. And though you view your scar as an imperfection, I see it as a way to show just how determined you really are. You're willing to put yourself at risk to achieve your goals and that's something I admire about you Weiss." said Jaune
Both Weiss' on and off screen had tears in their eyes at hearing that. To find out just how Jaune felt about her made the pain in her chest feel worse than ever before, she had thought no one would ever truly care about her like that but to find out someone did and realizing how she treated him. There were no words to describe how she felt.
She realized what a wonderful opportunity she had and might have destroyed, so she decided that when she got back she was going to throw away her pride and give Jaune the most heartfelt apology she had ever given and even give him a chance with one date, to see if things could work out between them. She felt it was the least she could do, she even started to blush at the thought of it.
It's funny how at first she had a crush on Crescent and disliked Jaune, but then she realized they are one and the same and that she may have feelings for both versions.
Weiss gave him a hug as she was crying and just kept apologizing, saying she'll give him a chance and make it up to him. He just returned the hug and they stayed like that till she fell asleep.
The four that have feelings for Jaune just groaned at hearing that, feeling like now they have more competition. Neo even crossed her arms and grumbled while Roman patted her back to help her feel better.
'Come on, first Roman's partner and now Weiss? I liked Jaune first so I got first dibs.' thought Ruby
'Why? You weren't interested in him before and now you have feelings for him? Ugh life just can't let me have something can it?' raged Pyrrha's thoughts.
'Ugh, this is so unfair, I like Jaune too.' complained Velvet in her head.
'If you touch him I will not hesitate to kill you.' mentally threaten Neo.
As the night went on Jaune just kept thinking about how he would try to get everyone back home, and he didn't care how impossible it was he would find a way. That was a promise and an Arc never goes back on their word.
With those last words the screen went to black and everyone got up to stretch.
"Aw man and we didn't get to see any cool fighting. I wanted to see what I could do with my characters abilities." complained Yang. Ruby and Penny agreed but still enjoyed it
Winter walked up to Weiss and asked, "Weiss are you ok?"
"Yes Winter I just have a lot on my mind right now." responded Weiss.
Winter nodded her head, "Alright but when you want to talk about it I'm right here." Weiss thanked her and went back to her thoughts.
Meanwhile Wolf was setting everything up for something special for everyone here. He just had to get everything ready.
And that's that everyone I hope you enjoyed, sorry there was no battling her but I thought I should make a bit more in the story department.
Also the gifts from PWP had arrived and that's gonna be the next chapter. Until then see you next time.
