AN: Songs- Eddie; Planet, Schmanet, Janet; Planet Hot Dog
The music ended and Cardin pulled the blanket over the two right as Jaune, Neptune, and Ren came up in the elevator. Jaune had a whip and was beating Ren with it.
"Again with the cruelty, Jaune," Velvet winced.
Jaune just sighed. Ilia shuddered at the thought. It looked all too much like slavery to her.
Ren flung open the gate and collapsed on the floor with a yell, "Mercy!"
Jaune whipped him one more time. Jaune was wearing his lingerie, but also a leather jacket.
"And he received none," Winter sighed, "This is what I imagine Father's mines are like."
Weiss nodded, "Especially if the brand on Taurus is anything to go by."
Ilia looked at the Schnee sisters questioningly. Maybe the Schnees aren't all bad.
Neptune was in the blue robe, but it was closed so you couldn't see anything.
"How did it happen?" Jaune asked, "I understood you were to be watching." He whipped Ren again, but Ren didn't make a sound this time.
"Well, maybe if you were watching instead of fooling around you wouldn't be in this mess," Roman scolded.
"If you want something done right, do it yourself," Cinder agreed.
Instead he answered the question, "I was only away for a minute, master."
"Well," Jaune replied smugly, "see if you can find him on the monitor." He whipped Ren again.
Ren adjusted the monitor, but instead of showing Cardin, it showed a man in a wheelchair outside the house. He had a blanket over his legs.
"Father!" Penny stated with excitement.
"He's in a wheelchair in this universe?" Ruby asked.
"He's paralyzed in ours as well, actually," Winter noted, "His aura has been so significantly weakened that his legs don't work anymore."
As the rest of the room marveled at this revelation, Sun asked an important question, "So, who gets to tell him his daughters dead in this universe?"
The people involved in this universe went silent as none of them wanted that responsibility.
"Master," Ren started, "Master, we have a visitor."
Jaune and Neptune walked over to the monitor. They both looked at the figure before Neptune exclaimed, "Hey, Pietro!"
Jaune and Ren gave him a glare. Neptune laughed it off before saying his full name, "Dr. Pietro Polendina."
"You know this earthling," Ren started. Jaune slammed his whip against the monitor as if to tell Ren he said something he shouldn't have. Ren stuttered a bit before continuing, "This person?"
"Earthling?" Jaune asked.
"Given that Earth is what they call their planet," Ren started, "That must be what they are called, but why would they specify themselves like that?"
"Unless," Raven pondered before she shot up in shock, "They're from a different planet!"
"But space travel is impossible!" Weiss complained.
"For you," Gordeau noted, "Multiple universes, remember?"
"I most certainly do!" Neptune exclaimed, oblivious to Ren's mistake, "He happens to be an old friend of mine."
Jaune leaned against the wall, "I see," he started accusingly, "So, this wasn't simply a chance meeting. You came here with a purpose." He prodded Neptune in the side with the whip.
"No, the car broke down," Neptune noted, "What does he think is happening?"
Neptune looked at Jaune in shock, "I told you, my car broke down. I was telling the truth."
Jaune glared at him, "I know what you told me, Neptune. But this Dr. Pietro Polendina, his name is not unknown to me." He shoved Neptune backwards a couple of times.
"Well, he is a rival scientist," Yang noted.
"I think there is more going on here then we realized," Blake said with concern.
"He was a science teacher at Denton High School," Neptune explained.
"High School?" Nora asked.
"Like your academies, but for just learning and not combat," Gordeau explained.
"And now he works for your government," Jaune said, cockily, "doesn't he, Neptune?"
"What?" Neptune asked in shock.
"He's attached," Jaune explained while shoving Neptune down onto the stairs, "to the Bureau of Investigation of that which you call U.F.O.'s! Isn't that right, Neptune?"
"Unidentified flying objects?" Ozpin asked, "So they really are from another planet."
"And Father investigates them? That seems out of his expertise," Penny noted.
Neptune was still in shock, "He might be," Jaune raised the whip as Neptune finished, "I don't know!"
Ren, still watching the monitor, gave an update, "The intruder is entering the building, master."
Jaune thought for a moment and looked back at Ren, "He'll probably be in," he paused before looking on in shock, "the Zen room!"
"Not the Zen room!" Tai gasped before looking confused, "What's the Zen room?"
Dr. Polendina was in a room full of hookahs. He examined an ashtray.
"Oh," Tai noted, "Why was that so shocking?"
Jaune walked to the control panel, "Shall we inquire of him in person?"
He turned around and glared at Neptune before turning on a triple contact electro magnet.
Dr. Polendina's chair suddenly moved on its own. It sped up the stairs of the house, around a few hallways, around Nora and Ruby's room while the duo looked at it strangely, before finally bursting through the laboratory wall.
"That's not physically possible," Weiss noted.
"We just learned that Jaune and at least Ren are from another planet, Weiss," Ruby noted, "I don't think we understand how things work in this world."
"Great Scott!" Neptune yelled standing up.
The doctor's chair flew down the ramp and crashed into the magnet.
Pietro looked up and gripped his chair, "Jaune Arc. We meet at last."
"So, we only know each other through reputation," Jaune noted.
"So he doesn't know what your other self has been up to," Pyrrha agreed.
Neptune walked into the doctor's view, "Dr. Polendina!" He held out his hand for a shake.
"Neptune?" Pietro asked, before shaking Neptune's hand, "What are you doing here?"
"Shouldn't he be expecting us?" Neptune asked.
"Yeah," Qrow agreed, "You were headed to see him, weren't you?"
"Then what is he doing out here?" Summer asked.
"He is probably trying to find me," Penny answered sheepishly.
Jaune stopped the handshake, "Don't play games, Dr. Polendina. You know perfectly well what Neptune Vasilias is doing here."
Neptune jumped back in shock as Jaune continued, "It was part of your plan, was it not, that he and his female should check the layout for you?"
"He thinks that guy planned all this?" Emerald asked incredulously, "Is he really that paranoid?"
"Well," Jaune scoffed, "unfortunately for you all, the plans are to be changed."
Dr. Polendina sat with a blank expression as Jaune continued, "I hope you're adaptable, Dr. Polendina. I know Neptune is." He finished with a smirk while Neptune stared at the ground.
"Hey," Neptune pouted, "He promised not to tell!"
Yang laughed at both this Jaune's brazen attitude and Neptune's reaction.
"I can assure you," Pietro started, "that Neptune's presence here comes as a complete surprise to me."
"I came here," he straightened up, "to find Penny."
"At least it's not the General this time," Penny noted with embarrassment.
Winter chuckled, "Could you imagine what he would say if he saw this universe?"
Qrow chuckled, "It would be pretty hilarious."
"Penny?" Neptune asked looking up with hope, "I've seen her. She's…"
He was stopped by Jaune, "Penny? What do you know of Penny, Dr. Polendina?"
Pietro smirked, "I happen to know a great deal about a lot of things. You see, Penny happens to be my daughter."
Jaune gasped and released the electro magnet. Right at that moment Cardin moaned and Weiss gasped.
"Oh, no!" Weiss gasped.
"What's wrong, Weiss?" Ruby asked her.
"Jaune's about to catch the other me having sex with Cardin," Weiss explained as she went pale, "When Penny just looked at him strangely, he killed her."
"No!" Ruby exclaimed, "Not Weiss too!"
Weiss smiled a little bit at Ruby's concern for her.
Jaune gasped again. Neptune covered his face and was almost crying, "Dr. Polendina."
Jaune ripped the cover off and Weiss and Carding stood up.
Dr. Polendina was shocked to see Weiss, "Weiss?"
Weiss was equally shocked, "Dr. Polendina!"
Neptune was also shocked, "Weiss?"
Weiss was shocked again, "Neptune!"
Jaune was shocked as well, "Cardin!"
Cardin, not able to speak, just glared at Jaune.
"Weiss?"
"Dr. Polendina!"
"Weiss?"
"Neptune!"
"Cardin!"
"…"
"Weiss?"
"Dr. Polendina!"
"Weiss?"
"Neptune!"
"Cardin!"
"…"
"NORA!" the bomber shouted out.
The rest of Team JNPR and Team RWBY looked at each other strangely.
"Didn't that happen already?" Ruby asked.
Yang thought for a moment then nodded, "Oh, yeah! In the Emerald Forest during initiation."
"Right," Jaune said in revelation, "It was when we all just kind of fell into the temple."
"Did it?" Weiss wondered.
"You were still on the Nevermore," Ruby explained.
Weiss rolled her eyes when she remembered. Winter raised an eyebrow at her sister.
Jaune glared at Cardin, "Listen! I made you, and I can break you just as easily."
Suddenly, Nora appeared with a gong and rang it, "Master, dinner is prepared!" She grinned.
"Thanks, Nora," Weiss sighed in relief.
"What for," Nora asked as she tilted her head.
"For distracting Jaune away from me."
Nora smiled and nodded.
Jaune regained his composure, "Excellent." Nora's grin faded as she saw what mood everyone was in. "Under the circumstances," Jaune continued giving Weiss a death glare in the process, "formal dress is to be optional."
"I'm not even sure he owns formal dress," Weiss scoffed.
"Yeah," Jaune agreed, "The only thing we've seen this me in so far is lingerie."
He stormed off and we were back in Port's office. He was holding a glass of brandy. "Food," he began, "has always played a vital role in life's rituals."
"The breaking of bread," he listed, "the last meal of the condemned man, and now this meal."
"Is this really that important of a meal?" Tai asked, "I mean comparing it someone's last meal?"
"That's actually pretty grim if you think about it," Ilia noted.
The current group in the castle, save Nora and Ren, were seated around a table. It was set haphazardly, with un matching dishes and cups. Port continued, "However informal it might appear, you can be sure there was to be very little bonhomie."
"Bo… bon… what?" Ruby asked.
"Bonhomie," Weiss stated proudly, "Cheerful friendliness. Basically, your everyday mood, Ruby."
Ruby smiled at her proudly,
Nora and Ren entered pulling a cart of food. They lifted the covering to reveal what looked like a ham.
"Huh," Winter noted, "I expected meatloaf."
"Oh," Nora said in comprehension, "The universe bleed over. That would have explained it."
They set it down in front of Jaune and Nora handed him an electric knife. He began carving the ham, while Nora and Ren began pouring wine.
Weiss raised an eyebrow, "Wow, I've seen some depressing dinner parties; I've even been to some, but this is just terrible."
Ozpin nodded, "Even I haven't seen one this bad."
Cardin tried to drink his wine right away but Jaune threatened him with the knife so he put it back down.
Jaune finished carving and picked up his glass, "A toast!" he exclaimed getting everyone's attention, "To absent friends."
Velvet, Sun, and Neptune nodded, "To absent friends."
The room murmured in agreement as they all took a drink. Jaune sat back down before offering a second toast, "And to Cardin!"
Velvet grimaced, "Not so much that second part."
"Agreed," the Beacon students noted.
Jaune put on a little party hat while Nora collected the carved ham and placed it on two plates.
Jaune began singing.
J: Happy birthday to you.
J: Happy birthday to you.
Weiss and Neptune joined in.
W, NE, J: Happy birthday dear Cardin.
Weiss and Neptune finished the song but Jaune stopped, "Shall we?"
"Didn't even finish the song," Yang grumbled.
"He must still be mad at him," Blake sighed.
Ren passed out slices of ham. Everyone began eating. Cardin tried to pick up his piece with his hands, but Ruby scolded him and silently told him to use the silverware. He begrudgingly picked up a fork, stabbed the slice, and ate it off the fork.
Weiss let out a bellowing laugh that caused the whole room to look at her.
"What's up with you?" Neo asked, "Seems a little out of character."
Weiss dried her eyes from her laughter, "So is Ruby scolding someone on table manners."
"Hey," Ruby protested.
"It's true, sis," Yang chuckled, as Ruby continued pouting.
"Like you have room to talk," Blake bit back. Yang recoiled in fake shock.
Dr. Polendina decided to get back to the matter at hand, "We came here to discuss Penny."
Ruby lit up, "Penny?" she asked exicited, only for Jaune to threaten her with the knife.
He looked at Dr. Polendina and smirked, "That's a rather tender subject. Another slice, anyone?" He asked, even though everyone had just gotten their slice.
Yang and Tai threw up in their mouths.
"Yang? What's wrong?" Blake asked with concern.
"Jaune just made a pun," she explained, "But Penny is a rather tender subject. And they just started eating meat."
Everyone else suddenly got the meaning as well. Everyone, even Cinder and Ozpin (who had seen some shit in his time) threw up. Thankfully, the doggie bags showed back up.
Penny, not being able to throw up, just stared at the screen in disbelief, "They're eating me? W…Why would he do that?"
No one could answer her except Gordeau, who only had one answer, "Because this version of Jaune is a sick individual."
"I'll say," Jaune noted as he recovered, "This version of me sucks."
Realization hit the groups faces as everyone but Cardin set down their forks. Ruby set hers down slowly before storming off. She closed the doors behind her and let out a scream of sorrow.
"Thank you, Ruby, for caring," Penny said with both sorrow and happiness.
"Of course, Penny!" Ruby said softly.
Dr. Polendina looked after Ruby with pity before turning to the audience, "I knew she was in with a bad crowd, but it was worse than I imagined."
He turned to Cardin before stating, "Aliens."
"We'd already figured that out," Raven rolled her eyes.
"Aw, c'mon Raven," Summer teased "playfully", "Just roll with it."
Carding went slack jawed and Weiss and Neptune both stated, "Dr. Polendina!" at the same time.
Jaune looked unamused, "Go on, Dr. Polendina."
Music started up.
"Father's going to sing?" Penny asked amused.
"A strange sight, to be sure," Winter agreed.
D: From the day she was born
D: She was trouble
Penny looked down sheepishly. She knew she was naturally curious and it did tend to get her in trouble.
D: She was the thorn
D: In her mother's side
"Do you have a mother, Robo-Girl?" Neo asked.
"No," Penny said dejectedly, "Just Father. Specialist Schnee and Miss Calevera are the only things even close to that for me."
D: She tried in vain
Port was shown in his office before he contributed to the story.
P: But she never caused her nothing but shame
Back in the dining room.
D: She left home the day she died
The music picked up and Dr. Polendina started bopping his shoulders in time with the beat.
Pyrrha chuckled, "I wondered how they were going to get him to dance."
D: From the day she was gone.
D: All she wanted
D: Was rock and roll, porn, and a motor bike.
Blake nudged Yang in the ribs, "Are we sure this isn't about you?"
Yang would've laughed, but minus the porn part, it was pretty much dead on for when Summer died. If it wasn't for Ruby, she might have ended up that way.
D: Shooting up junk.
Back in Port's office
P: She was a low-down cheap little punk
"Port's a little distracting, to be honest," Summer noted, "He keeps cutting in at the weirdest times."
Dining Room
D: Taking everyone for a ride
Everyone except Jaune joined in and sang along.
A: When Penny said she didn't like her teddy
A: You knew she was a no-good kid
"Am I a no-good kid?" Penny asked.
"Of course not," Winter stated, proudly.
"Yeah," Ruby agreed, "You helped us out a lot! You're a great kid, Penny!"
A: But when she threatened your life with a switch-blade knife
"Well, now the songs about you, Neo," Roman teased.
Neo shrugged, "You're not wrong."
Jaune decided to comment, Weiss following shortly after.
J: What a gal
W: Makes you cry
D: And I did
"It is a rather sad story in that universe," Ren noted, "Especially to be killed and eaten by, no offense, a psycho Jaune."
"None taken," Jaune agreed, "This me is repulsive."
In Ruby's room, she was sulking. On the wall was a giant mural dedicated to Penny.
R: Everybody shoved her
R: I very nearly loved her
"Well, we already knew that," Sun shrugged, "The dance they did made it sort of obvious."
R: I said hey listen to me
R: Stay sane inside insanity
R: But she locked the door and threw away the key.
"I don't think Penny is the one that went insane," Tai noted.
"Yeah," Qrow agreed, "I think the blonde boy is the insane one."
"Jaune, my name is Jaune," Jaune commented, "You know that."
Qrow just smirked, "Like I care."
Back in the dining room Dr. Polendina continued.
D: But she must have been drawn.
D: Into something.
D: Making her warn
D: Me in a note which reads.
He pulled out a note and Weiss and Neptune ran to look. Penny's voice sang what was written on the letter. Jaune, Nora, and Ren glared at the doctor.
W, N: What's it say? What's it say?
"Well, if you give him a minute, he'll tell you," Roman sighed, "Kids."
PE: I'm out of my head.
PE: Oh, hurry, or I may be dead
Penny huffed, "I wish I would have gotten some notice in reality."
Roman and Pyrrha nodded.
Ruby looked down, "I tried, Penny. But Mercury got in my way."
Mercury smirked from his chair.
PE: They musn't carry out their evil deeds. WHOAH!
Ren and Nora turned their glares to Jaune, who straightened his face and tried not to look at the two.
"From everything we've seen, I don't think they have a plan," Winter scoffed.
"Jaune doesn't," Blake agreed, "But we know Ren and Nora are scheming something."
"But they don't seem to be working with the blonde," Emerald noted, "It seems like their playing both sides."
Neptune and Weiss turned to each other in remorse before the room began singing again.
A: When Penny said she didn't like her teddy.
A: You knew she was a no-good kid
A: But when she threatened your life with a switch blade knife
J: What a gal
W: Makes you cry
D: And I did
A: When Penny said she didn't like her teddy.
Dr. Polendina pulled out a teddy bear.
"Teddy!" Penny cheered as the room collectively raised an eyebrow at her. "Well, just because other me doesn't like him, that doesn't apply to me."
Ruby giggled at her childish friend.
A: You knew she was a no-good kid.
A: But when she threatened your life with a switch blade knife
Dr. Polendina pulled a knife out of the back of the bear and the music slowed.
J: What a gal
A: Oh, Oh, Oh,
W: Makes you cry
A: Hey, Hey, Hey
D: And I did
A: Penny!
The music stopped. Ren had a sinister grin on his face as he and Nora turned to each other. Nora began to chuckle, but Ren shushed her.
"Ren," Nora scolded, "Don't shush me!"
"Actually," Neo started, "I think you could stand to be shushed every once and a while. I've noticed you tend to ram…"
Neo stopped when she noticed all of the other students looking at her with wide-eyes, and Nora glaring at her with malice.
She sighed, "You know, for having been mute most of my life, I really need to learn when to keep my mouth shut."
Jaune stood up and grabbed the table cloth. He ripped it off the table to reveal that the table had been a giant coffin with a glass lid. Penny's mutilated body sat right under the glass.
"Uggh," the room recoiled.
"They ate her on her," Cinder smirked, "That's a whole new level of evil."
Everyone, except Dr. Polendina who simply recoiled, stood up in shock. Weiss screamed and ran around the table into Cardin's arms.
"Wow," Mercury smirked, "The sex must have been great to make you forget your fiancé."
Weiss glared, but Yang, surprisingly, defended her, "Well, she hadn't done it with Neptune yet, so the only other comparison was Jaune. I'm sure she hasn't forgotten him."
Jaune became furious, "CARDIN? How could you?" He ripped Cardin off of Weiss and threw him across the room. He then slapped Weiss as music started again.
"I'm sorry, Weiss," Jaune apologized for his other self's action.
Weiss shrugged, "That is definitely not you, Jaune. You don't have to apologize."
Weiss ran out of the room being chased by Jaune. Dr. Polendina, with the help of Neptune followed immediately after.
Ren and Nora began laughing before Ren's laughter turned to anger, "Shut up!" he yelled at Nora who promptly broke down into tears.
"I'm pretty sure this Ren's not all there, either," Pyrrha noted.
"I concur," Ren agreed.
Weiss and Jaune ran up the stairs while Neptune and Dr. Polendina made for the elevator. Jaune began singing.
J: I'll tell you once
J: I won't tell you twice
J: You better wise up
J: Dammit Weiss
He pinned Weiss to the banister.
J: Your apple pie
J: Don't taste too nice.
"Well, apparently she's not too good anyway," Emerald teased.
Weiss went pale at the accusation.
J: You better wise up
J: Dammit Weiss
She struggled to get away. When she couldn't, she kneed Jaune in the balls. He recoiled in pain for a brief minute. Weiss ran up the stairs, Jaune following shortly after.
Every guy in the audience winced, while Weiss smirked triumphantly.
J: I've laid the seed
J: It should be all you need.
J: You're as sensual as a pencil
J: Wound up like an E or first string
J: When we made it, did you hear a bell ring?
"Probably not, if she ran to Cardin instead of you," Blake sneered.
"She's probably right," Jaune agreed.
They ran until they came into the lab via the hole Dr. Polendina made in the wall,
J: You've got a block?
J: Well, take my advice.
J: You better wise up
J: Dammit Weiss
They ran until Weiss tripped on the raised platform the tank was on. Dr. Polendina and Neptune arrived shortly after.
J: The transducer will seduce ya
"The what?" Ilia asked.
Neptune backed Dr. Polendina up the platform before standing on it himself. Jaune pulled a lever and something happened.
W: My feet! I can't move my feet!
D: My wheels! My God, I can't move my wheels!
Yang chuckled, "That was a good joke."
"Strange that he made it about himself, though," Tai agreed.
"Doctor Polendina has always been a good sport about things," Winter noted.
N: It's as if we're glued to the spot!
All three looked shocked and angry while Jaune looked smug.
J: You are. So quake with fear, you tiny fools.
Ozpin sighed, "The villains always think their ambition makes them bigger people."
"Doesn't it?" Cinder smirked with malice.
W: We're trapped.
J: It's something you'll get used to
J: A mental mind-fuck can be nice
He bumped into Weiss, which would have caused her to fall down if her feet weren't stuck.
"Can it?" Velvet asked.
"Depends on whose doing it," Emerald smirked.
Neo got an idea though, "Please," she scoffed. Using her semblance, she disguised herself as Ilia, "You've got nothing on me." She noted her voice stayed the same.
Ilia was confused. On one hand, Sundae could turn herself into anybody she wanted. On the other, she chose her.
Neo smirked at the confusion on Ilia's face, "So, like what you see?"
Hearing her girlfriends voice come out of her mouth was disorienting, "Well, I'm mind-fucked alright. It's strange and a little nice, I guess."
Neo turned back into herself and smirked at Emerald, who growled that she couldn't use her own semblance.
The music continued in the background. Nora, Ren, Cardin, and Ruby all filed in through the hole.
Dr. Polendina decided to taunt Jaune, "You won't find Earth people quite the easy mark you imagine."
"This sonic transducer," he continued, "it is, I suppose, some kind of audio-vibratory, physiomolecular transport device?"
"A what?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know," Penny admitted, "It sounds made up."
Neptune clasped the doctor's shoulder, "You mean?"
"Yes, Neptune," the doctor continued, "It's something we ourselves have been working on for quite some time."
Neptune nodded as the doctor explained, "But it seems our friend here has found a means of perfecting it." As he said this, Nora and Ren made their way down to the control panel. Jaune looked smug at the compliment.
"That would be impressive if we knew what it did," Weiss scoffed.
"I'm sure they'll explain it," Pyrrha noted.
"They haven't explained much of anything so far," Raven rolled her eyes.
The doctor explained what the device did, "A device which is capable of breaking down solid matter, and then projecting it through space and, who knows, perhaps even time itself."
"That isn't physically possible," Winter sighed.
"It does not make scientific sense," Penny agreed.
"Do you two see where we are?" Roman questioned incredulously, "This place pretty much does that for us."
Winter had to agree with the crook on this one.
"You mean," Weiss said, concerned, "He's gonna send us to another planet?"
J: Planet? Shcmanet! Dammit!
J: You better wise up
J: Dammit Weiss
He began fondling the immobile Weiss.
J: You better wise up
J: Build your thighs up.
J: You better wise up.
Port's office was shown.
P: And then, she cried out.
W: STOP!
"Oh, now she gets some sense," Weiss critiqued her other self, "I would have said that hours ago."
"I hear you," Neptune agreed.
She pushed him with such force that he fell backwards into Neptune, who proceeded to punch him in the face.
The room cheered.
"Yes!" Sun slapped his friend on the back, "Great job man."
"He deserved that," Nora celebrated.
"And a whole lot more," Velvet noted.
Jaune flew into the wall with an evil look before continuing.
J: Don't get hot and flustered.
J: Use a bit of mustard
He walked until he was in front of Neptune but out of reach.
N: You're a hot dog
N: But you'd better not try to hurt her
"Finally standing up for myself here," Neptune beamed with pride.
"Better late than never," Weiss shrugged.
N: Jaune Archer
"Why 'Archer?'" Jaune asked.
"Probably to rhyme," Pyrrha noted, "It wouldn't make a lot of sense to use your real name."
Jaune nodded to Nora who gleefully pulled a switch on the wall labeled 'Medusa.' Neptune gestured into a fighting stance before the Medusa turned him to stone. All of his clothes fell off revealing his junk in stone form.
Neptune wasn't sure if he should be embarrassed or not. Sure, his junk was on display, but he was a statue. Was he technically nude?
No one else seemed put off by it so he shrugged and moved on.
D: You're a hot dog
D: But you'd better not try to hurt her
D: Jaune Archer
Same thing but, thankfully, Dr. Polendina's blanket stayed on his lap.
"That's good," Penny sighed, "I did not wish to see my father naked, even if he is a statue."
W: You're a hot dog.
And again, with Weiss's clothes, what was left of them anyway falling off as well. The music stopped.
Weiss glanced at Ruby to see if she was looking. She was, but Weiss couldn't tell if she was happy or just didn't care.
Ruby was appalled, "My God! I can't stand any more of this," she stated from the balcony. She walked down the ramp to confront Jaune.
Yang went pale, "Uh, oh! Angry Ruby!"
The rest of Team RWBY, Team RNJ, Tai, Qrow, and Roman all shuddered. They knew angry Ruby was not to be messed with.
"First, you spurn me for Penny," she listed, "and then you throw her off like an old overcoat for Cardin."
"That's what happened?" Ilia said with surprise, "This whole thing has just been Jaune being horny?"
"Seems like it, Rainbow," Neo sighed.
"You chew people up," she ranted, "and then you spit them out again."
She stopped briefly before continuing softly, "I loved you."
Ruby looked at Jaune and did her "Nah!" laugh again.
Weiss sighed in relief.
Jaune looked unamused, but his eyes went wide. Ruby saw his confusion and began yelling again, "Do you hear me? I loved you!"
"And what did it get me," she continued, on the verge of tears, "Yeah, I'll tell you, a big nothing."
She glared at Jaune, "You're like a sponge. You take, take, take, and drain others of their love and emotion."
"Do I?" Jaune asked.
"No," Yang noted, "You care about people, Jaune. Not like the sick bastard on screen."
Neo thought for a minute, "Actually, that part reminds me of Matchstick up there. She just used Roman and I for her own uses, then tossed us away when we couldn't help anymore."
Emerald went to protest, but realized the girl was right. But Cinder would never do that to her. She cared about her and what happened to her.
"Yeah," she pulled awkwardly on her pajama shirt, "Well, I've had enough! You've gotta choose between me and Cardin, so named because of the birds in his head!"
"A Ruby quip?" Yang chuckled as Ruby blushed in embarrassment, "That was really good, sis!"
Ruby smiled a bit, "Thanks, Yang."
She put her hands on her hips triumphantly. Jaune looked over to Nora and nodded, and Ruby turned to stone, her pajamas falling off.
Ruby immediately went to embarrassed again. Even stone her nude was too much for her.
Weiss now had an issue. Ruby was naked, but a statue. Was that hot, or not?
Jaune looked at the now Ruby statue with sad eyes, "It's not easy having a good time," he addressed the audience.
"Well, maybe if you didn't murder your partners," Sun scoffed.
"Or eat them," Neptune agreed.
"Or kidnap random people of the street," Blake nodded.
He looked at the balcony to see Cardin flexing, as if nothing disturbing had just happened. He nodded again and Cardin turned clothes falling as well.
He turned back to the audience, "Even smiling makes my face ache."
He bit his knuckle and turned away, walking towards the freezer door. "And my children turn on me, Cardin's behaving just the way that Penny did."
"Penny had an uncontrollable libido, too?" Weiss questioned, "I doubt it."
"Well, she did go after Red," Roman shrugged.
He began crying and leaned against the door before turning to Nora, "Do you think I made a mistake splitting her brain between the two of them?"
"Okay," Ozpin sighed, "One can not exist with physically half a brain. That is impossible."
"Yet somehow, he made it work," Gordeau sighed.
Ren smirked, but Nora lost her temper and decided to shout something she had been holding in for a long time, "I grow weary of this world! When shall we return to Transylvania? Huh?"
Ilia winced, "You don't say that to your master. It will never end well."
"Huh?" Nora asked obliviously.
She stormed over to Jaune, who was shocked by her outburst. Ren walked over calmly a few seconds later, the smirk still on his face.
Jaune regained his composure, "Nora, I am indeed grateful to both you and your partner, Ren."
"Partner, huh?" Yang smirked.
Nora blushed profusely.
Nora looked away slowly, realizing that her outburst was only going to cause them pain later. Jaune continued, "You have both served me well," he folded his arms, "Loyalty such as yours shall not go unrewarded."
He looked off into space before continuing, "You will discover that, when the mood takes me, I can be quite generous."
"If what Ruby said is true," Raven scoffed, "I doubt he's generous."
"I have to agree with you there, sweety," Summer smiled.
Raven raised an eyebrow. It'd been a while since someone called her that.
He glared at her as she whipped her head around and retorted, "I ask for nothing, master."
Jaune smirked before hardening his face, "And you shall receive it in abundance!"
Ilia sighed. This Jaune could easily be one of the Schnee foremen.
He slammed his hand on the door before storming off to the elevator, "Come," he ordered, "We are ready for the floor show."
He departed. Ren and Nora did their hand thing again before leaving via the hole.
AN:
Dr. Scott – Dr. Pietro Polendina: I mean, a scientist with impaired mobility who has connections to Penny? Was there another choice here?
One chapter left to this universe. Just hold out til then if this isn't your thing.
