See what I tell you guys? In before midnight. Here's an actual chapter with reactions to it! Although it is late so I will not be replying to comments this time.
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or Noblesse.
"Oh! So this is all about Jauney? Or lives with Jaune in it?" Sun asked. He cursed that he didn't get to get amazing food from another world when that Chef was over. Maybe he had crazy banana recipes! After all that Jaune knew them in that world. Maybe he knew his Full Course? He sat on the other side of Blake.
"But why Jaune?" Neptune asked confused.
"Because that's the one we ended up," Weiss said sitting closer to her crush. She felt a little more at ease now that he was here. Neptune was happy to see this, but kept his mouth shut. He didn't want to ruin his chances with her after all.
Yang and Ruby, due to the new people appearing, decided to sit upon a different row, Penny joining them. After all, they wanted to give the couples some room. Pyrrha joined as well, giving Ren and Nora some space after the whole thing with the chef.
"So what sort of world is this one?" Taiyang asked as he took a sip of water. That last drink from the menu he ate made him feel energized, thankfully though the water was making the energy dissipate easily enough.
"Oh this one is...weird," the Curator said as he got the projector ready.
"How so?" Ironwood asked. From what he saw that most of the versions of Jaune he has seen they were all skilled and odd themselves. How can this one change?
"In all honesty, this Jaune is technically a villain." The Curator said as he looked at the screen as it flickers to life. "But he's firmly planted on the side of good."
"I don't get it," Nora replied.
"This Jaune does bad things but for the good of the people."
"That doesn't sound so good," Glynda said.
Jaune Arc sighed as he walked through the halls of the Schnee Dust Company in Atlas. He was dressed in a tuxedo and he didn't want to be here.
"You know we never got to see him in a tux," Pyrrha said. "He wore a dress because of our little bet."
"Where was I when he did that?" Ruby asked bewildered.
"Oh yeah! He looked hilarious!" Sun laughed. Neptune meanwhile felt a little uneasy about that night.
"He has long hair," Yang said touching her own. "Almost as long as mine!"
However, the twenty-year-old had to be here. His sister, Daisy, was here being honored for one of her works in the Dust stuff he wasn't caught upon.
"Is that one of his sisters for real? Or is it different in this world?" Yang asked.
"So far my records have only shown that only one name has been constant in the worlds and that is Saphron," the Curator explained. "So the names of other sisters will vary from world to world."
"How many sisters does Mr. Arc have?" Ozpin asked.
"Seven," Glynda replied. "He's the only male."
"Sheesh and I thought having one sister is enough, having seven? No wonder why he ran away," Qrow joked.
After all, he wasn't much of a Dust person. He preferred more of biology, anatomy, and engineering. Then again, he did dabble in it much to his family's...horror? Trepidation? Excitement? The young man couldn't tell any more. A mad scientist like him was the oddball in his family.
"Mad" Ruby gasped.
"Scientist!?" Nora yelled. The very idea was funny and cool at the same time.
Of course, he didn't experiment on them, no. He'd never do that to his family! That's why he experimented on himself all the time instead.
"That sounds horrific," Neptune blanched. "Self-experimentation? What sort of person would do that?"
"Dude, the older Jaune dude said he's evil! Of course, he'd mess around with himself!" Sun replied.
Penny laughed. "It sounds like an innuendo." That caused Ruby and Yang to snicker.
Oh, and the farm animals, after he had figured out exactly how to do it right. He didn't want to have dead animals after all.
"At least he's being responsible," Blake said.
"Right? Animal rights!" Sun cheered. This caused the Faunus in the room to facepalm.
Now heir horses ran faster, their cows can make flavored milk naturally, and their chickens laid large eggs without hurting them, and a few other animals enhanced to make their jobs easier, and to make a bigger profit. Of that meant he had to make ingenious ways to not only process them but to make the bi-products such as cheese, bread and the like. It put Arc Farms on the map!
"This version of Mr. Arc is...rather remarkable," Ironwood stated, blinking.
"If father invited them, it means he did well enough that it intrigued him," Winter said cupping her chin. "And that's usually a bad thing."
He still won't sell his blueprints though. Those were his and his alone, thank you very much.
But Brothers above he hated this. Being here at a party a whole continent away. He swore if he hadn't experimented on himself, he'd be freezing just in this damned tux. Also, there were way too many people. He'd rather not get agitated, lest his Semblance goes haywire. That explained why he left on his left to go explore on his own after he ate. Everyone was still mingling at the gala.
Winter sighed and nodded along with the boy's assessment. As much as she had to do that for both her father and Ironwood, the specialist knew what it felt like to go to those constantly.
Meanwhile, Yang focused on was said about his semblance. It could go crazy? That's interesting.
"I would so like to go home," Jaune sighed to himself as he brushed his shoulder-length blonde hair out of the way. It was still a mess but he couldn't do anything about it, his sister asked him to keep it like that. "I still don't understand why though." So lost in his thought that, he didn't notice where he was going. This had the blonde bumping into some person.
His hand shot out before the person could fall and pulled them into his person. In his arms was a tiny girl, with green eyes and a matching bow. Her hair was orange and she had some freckles on her cheeks too. "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," Jaune apologized as he slowly let go of her.
"It's me!" Penny exclaimed, looking at the screen. The proximity between the two made her blush. It looked like a lover's embrace as she had read about.
"That is fine! I too was not looking where I was going," the girl apologized. She blinked and smiled. "Oh! You're one of the Arcs who are a guest here! Jaune Arc if I remember correctly! Salutations, I am Penny!"
Jaune blinked and nodded. "Nice to meet you, Penny." He held his hand out for her to shake, or maybe so he would kiss her hand given that was what his sisters told him to do. So when Penny kept staring at the hand he coughed. "You're supposed to shake it."
"I thought we had Penny take social cue classes," Ironwood wondered.
"Maybe that one didn't?" Winter suggested.
"Right! I knew that!" Penny hiccuped. She took his hand and began to shake it, only for his Semblance to partially activate. Blue eyes widened as he stared at Penny.
"Let's see what this boy has now," Ghira said interested. These worlds were fun to watch despite some of the darker aspects. That and if what the Chef said was true, a good way to judge this boy's character.
"That is peculiar." The young scientist said making the girl look at him.
"What do you mean Mr. Arc," Penny asked looking confused.
"My semblance is weird and hard to explain, but part of it lets me feel the life forces of others." A thick black and purple aura began to cover Jaune's right hand as he gently cupped her face.
"What the heck!?" Nora shouted as she saw the hand became encased in darkness.
"Why does his arm look like a Grimm!?" Weiss shouted, holding onto Neptune.
It looked more like a claw than anything. A manic look came over his eyes as he felt the girl freeze. "You feel real yet artificial. Just what are you?"
"He figured out she was a robot rather quickly," Qrow said taking a sip of his smoothie. Huh, he didn't feel so tired even after drinking some alcohol from dinner.
The longer he held her the more his aura spread over his arm, looking like a demonic flame.
"That is a scary semblance!" Ruby shouted.
"Umm!" Penny stuttered unsure how to react. She knew this was weird, even based on what General Ironwood said! Was this the "stranger danger" that Specialist Schnee warned her about? If so she should deploy her weapons!
Penny blushed as she listened to her other-self. Was she like that too? Oh goodness, she hopes she wasn't so nervous like that that she froze!
Before she could alarms went off and Jaune frowned. The dark aura left his arm as he turned towards the elevators. "Penny was it?"
"Y-Yes?" the android stuttered. She felt relieved that he let go but the sudden change in demeanor was different.
"I guess that semblance of his is something if it changes his personality on the fly," Taiyang said rubbing his chin. "It's like an insane version of Yang's thing."
"I'd like to get to know you later. Pick you apart and see how you tick." That made the woman freeze and part of her felt scared. "But it seems like we'll have to do it later. We have some people crashing our party. Would you happen to be a fighter?"
"Yes! I am combat ready!" Penny nodded as blades came out of her back. That piqued Jaune's interest even more but he had to quell his curiosity for now.
"Good. Let's go hunt us some invaders." The grin on his face promised hurt and pain.
Everyone had shuddered at his look.
"Okay, I can get why he's a villain," Ruby said. "From how he looks and acts, Jaune is rather...intense."
"You can say that again Ruby," Pyrrha agreed. "And how he acts along with Penny showed he has no sense of personal space."
The White Fang unit that was invading this party was smart. They knew that there would not be much security given that this was more of a simple awards ceremony. Something that would be easy to do since it would mostly be the lab type of people.
"I can't understand why father would do that," Weiss groaned.
"Because he's so sure it will go his way," Winter replied.
So, of course, they got to the ballroom easily, after taking care of the guards and hijacking the computer system. They had guards everywhere holding the humans as hostage. They even set up a camera, they were going to execute these people to a live audience.
Blake and Ghira groaned. That's not what they wanted.
Jacques Schnee kept as he looked at the animals. He was here because of an innovated breakthrough from a recently prestigious company. The Arc Farms company was an up and coming produce maker in Ansel and it was almost insane their speed at almost destroying the competition. Then one of the daughters learned to refine Dust even finer and cleaner, making it more valuable.
"That's interesting. I'm sure if they learned how to do something like that in our world, Faunus would probably revolt less against the SDC," Kali commented happily.
But he honestly didn't care about her.
"Ouch," Nora said. "Rude much."
"I concur," Ren said nodding his head. "To only use them like that is rather mean."
No, he was curious about the sole son of the family, Jaune Arc. Supposedly the true brains of the family, who had single-handedly transformed the family into something noticeable outside of their hero heritage. It was he that Jacques Schnee wanted in his company, not this random girl.
"So that's the real reason father has them over," Winter said. "To get this Jaune Arc into the company somehow."
"You know, you're not coming out of this alive," a female voice said catching their attention. Jacques as well as the various White Fang here turned toward the Arc Family who looked both scared and calm at the same time.
"No! Don't say that!" Ruby shouted.
"Don't be a hero!" Yang agreed.
"And why do you say that human filth?" the commander asked the tall blonde currently sitting on the floor. Jacques was sure this one was named Marigold if his data was correct.
"My little brother isn't in the room, which means he's probably on his way here," Marigold said with a frown. "Which means you're people are either dead or mutilated. That means he'll do the same to you."
"That sounds...horrible," Penny said with a shudder. And her other was with this man at the moment? She hoped that she was not scarred for life because of that.
"You think I should be afraid of some human?" the grunt demanded pointing his gun at her.
"Some human," Saphron Arc laughed. "God that's not what we would say our brother is."
"That was not ominous at all," Ozpin said, causing his cohorts to nod their heads.
"I want to say he stopped being human around three years ago," Daisy shuddered. Stopped being human? That was an odd thing to say, Jacques mentioned. "He's more like a monster now."
"That's not a good thing to say," Sun frowned.
"That sounds terrible to even mention," Blake agreed.
"But for his own family to say it that, though. What do they mean?" Pyrrha asked.
"If you don't shut up, I will shoot you," the White Fang commander said cocking back the hammer of the gun.
"Do it then," Lily, Daisy's twin, laughed. "Do it you little bitch." Was there something wrong with the family? Jacques wondered to himself as he watched all of this happen. The White Fang took the bait and pulled the trigger. Everyone screamed, except himself and the Arc family.
Instead, Jacques watched in fascination as a black and purple aura extended from Marigold's body and literally absorbed the bullet. It then regressed, to a beautiful black necklace around her neck with a topaz in it. Now that Jacques looked, all the Arcs had it.
"Why do they have that? And why is it giving off Jaune's Semblance?" Neptune asked. He was also liking the looks these blonde women had. All of them looked homely yet beautiful. He made sure Weiss didn't see his eagerness.
"What the fuck was that?" the White Fang grunt who shot at Marigold demanded as he took a step back. His eyes widened in fear as the other members of the White Fang pointed their guns at the family, and the family alone.
"Insurance." Charles Arc, the head of the Arc family, replied with a frown. "Something to ensure we were safe while my son is not around." The leader of the group growled and pointed at the Grunt.
"So Jaune made those for his family," Ruby guessed. "That's good to know. He still cares."
"Rubes, the Curator said that he was still firmly on the good guy's side despite acting like a villain," Yang replied. "So of course he cares."
"You there! Take of their jewelry!" the commander ordered. The grunt approached and tried to rip it off Saphron who shook her head.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Saphron warned. Despite her words, the grunt still tried to do that. As soon as his hand was within a foot of her, the dark aura expanded from her black and yellow earrings. It expanded and ate the grunt's hand.
"Oh my god!" Neptune shouted. Everyone else jumped at the sight. The hand just vanished. There was nothing there anymore save the stump and the black aura.
The White Fang member stumbled back as he looked at the stub where his hand used to be. Screaming, he was rolling around the ground. There was no blood as the dark aura whatever that was ate his hand.
"I don't feel safe anymore," Penny muttered. What just happened? He shared his semblance and it ate the man's hand!"
"My aura! My aura is not healing or helping me!" the grunt shouted in fear as he watched. Jacques Schnee was both horrified but infinitely more intrigued now. What was that? How did the boy create such an odd thing?
"It cancels auras?" Qrow gulped. To be able to nullify one of the biggest weapons hunters had against the Grimm, that was scary.
"Shoot them!" the commander said. "Shoot all of them! Whatever they have can't probably handle all our bullets!"
"Oh they might not but I certainly can," Jaune replied from right behind him. Before the commander could do anything, a blackened hand grab's his face and casually tosses through the ballroom doors.
"Ah!" Ruby screamed jumping into Yang's lap. She wasn't the only scared one. Most of the teens jumped from the sudden appearance of Jaune, as did Kali who grabbed her husband's hand. People like Qrow and Ironwood rolled their eyes, used to surprise attacks like that.
It was quiet for a moment as everyone was surprised that they didn't even notice him enter. "Penny," Jaune said loudly. "Is everything secure the security room now?"
"Yes, Mister Jaune!" Penny responded over the intercom. Her usually chipper voice both seemed happier and scared at the same time.
"Whatever she saw probably affected her," Penny said about herself.
"All the floors we've been to have been cleared and the Atlas Military has been notified. They have fifteen minutes."
"I won't need that long. I'll try to keep some of them alive." He looked over to his family. "Please close your eyes. This is going to be a mess."
"We know son," Marie Arc, Matriarch of the Arc family, replied. "Just don't make too much of a mess."
"Should we close our eyes-" Ruby tried to ask but the world moved too fast.
"No promises." The blonde male became a storm of motion and darkness. He raised his hands and dark streaks of his aura shot out and impaled various White Fang members. Through the chest, limbs, some were even impaled through the neck. All of them screamed in pain. Oddly enough no blood dripped.
"Oh god," Sun gasped.
"I think I'm going to lose my dinner," Neptune said feeling dizzy.
Before the others could shoot, he runs forward and impales one through the chest with his darkened arm.
"Holy moly," Pyrrha gasped as she saw him murder people this time.
"Do you know what happens if you mix burn, freeze and shock dust in a mix of 40/40/10 mix?" Jaune asked in a patronizing tone. The blonde tore his hand out and easily dodged bullets by moving just slightly. The Fangs were trying their hardest as he maneuvered around the grounds easily.
"He's toying with them," Ghira said. "Staying just out of reach."
Jacques notices that the Arc boy was ensuring that the people weren't hit. That all the bullets were aimed at him and only him.
That caused Ruby and JNPR to sigh in relief. He was still in there, even if a little.
Jaune produced three crude crystals of Dust from his pocket, the burn and freeze significantly larger than the shock. His dark aura cracked them and their energies began to mix as the darkness encased all three into an orb.
"I know I shouldn't but I want to know how did he do that," Weiss stated. "How did he activate Dust so easily?"
"Well, he did say he experimented on himself," Neptune suggested.
"But we never saw what he did," Ren countered.
Tossing it, the thing exploded into a cloud of dust around the White Fang. It only took a moment before they started to cough violently and fall to their knees. "It makes a makeshift poison that stuns those who breathe it in. Oh, and it's really painful. Can't you feel it? Not only is your nerves endings telling you that you're dying, but your lungs are burning up too. Your skin should feel like its deathly cold."
"This...is creeping me out," Qrow said as he saw the eager look on Jaune's face. The twisted look of pleasure he had on when utterly destroying the White Fangs was one not meant to be seen by good people.
The ones who were shooting looked horrified and had to stop. This man, this man wasn't a hunter. The manic grin on his face was something they normally wouldn't see on a professional hunter's face. In their fear, they dropped their guns and was about to run, only for him to shoot out more of his aura. It pierced their legs and rooted them on the spot. The screams filled the air as he approached them.
"Tell me when it's all over!" Ruby shouted as she covered her face with her hood. Penny mimicked by grabbing the tail end of the cape and covered her face. This was not what she wanted to see!
"Don't worry little rats," Jaune chuckled. "You'll survive but this pain, this pain won't leave for a long, long time."
The Commander entered the room once more, eyes widened in horror as he saw his dead, mutilated or currently paralyzed members all struggling. Before, he could escape or comment he felt a blackened blade made out of aura stab him through the chest.
The sudden bursting of the blade through the man's chest had the people scream.
"I didn't want this to be a gorefest!" Yang shouted.
"Stop with the jump scares!" Nora covered her eyes.
Jaune Arc stood before him and growled. "You and your men tried to hurt my family. I only promised some will survive, and you're not part of that group."
"Help! God, please help me!" the commander shouted as the darkened aura spread around his body. He could feel the pain increasing as more and more of the aura covered every inch of him. His eyes panicking behind his mask as he tried to punch Jaune. Tried being the operative word.
"This is tough to watch," Taiyang said gulping. This version was not one he'd like to meet up with.
The farther the aura spread, the less that he could move. The commander felt as if he was paralyzed. "What are you doing to me?"
"This is my Semblance, its true name is Dark Blade, manifesting from my ever curious and hungry mind and body. It feeds off of things and pulls it into me. From dust to Grimm, to people."
Just like in the one with the strings, the thought of what he could do with that made a few of the audience want to hurl. That Semblance was...evil in all sense of the word.
"It eats them and adds their life force into my own. The more agitated I become the more it wants to feed. Originally it was only a small knife, but the more I experimented on myself the stronger and stronger it became. Of course, it used to be more crazy and I couldn't control it but now?" Jaune shoved the blade fully into the White Fang Commander as it completely covered him. "I eat what I want." A moment later, the body shrunk and shrunk until it vanished. Leaving only the blackened blade in Jaune's hand.
"Fuck," Ozpin said as he watched that scene. It reminded him of the days of old of dark magic. Ones Salem's old faction used to use.
"It's over Ruby," Yang told her sister and her friend. Ruby and Penny dropped their cover and looked, sighing in relief.
"I do not want to visit this world again," Penny said.
"Me neither," Nora agreed.
The manic grin returned to his face as he looked at the remaining White Fang who looked sick to their stomach, as did much of the other guests. Jacques Schnee meanwhile was even more fascinated. This boy was an interesting anomaly.
"You lad what's your name?" Jacques asked as he stood. Of course, he knew who he was but he had a part to play. No one was tied up but everyone was huddled to one another when they saw Jaune lost his psychotic look and became calm. They were still scared of him.
"God s, I would be too Neptune said."
"Me? Genius scientist, Jaune Arc, Heir to Frankenstein Arc, at your service."
The screen fades.
"I demand a world where Jaune Arc isn't evil or crazy, at least two or three of them next!" Weiss shouted. "Too many of these showed him off in a negative light and I'd rather not go to sleep having nightmares of the dork trying to murder me!"
"Agreed!" the students said.
"Well, there is one world ready to go but...uh...I'm not sure I should show it," the Curator said.
"Why?" Blake asked.
"It's not exactly PG-13." The Curator goes silent. "I mean Jaune isn't evil or crazy in this one. He's kind of heart and a hero of sorts but... it is rather lewd."
"Just play," Yang shouted. "If it's anything like Ninja Sex Party it will be hilarious." The adults looked at one another wondering what the heck was a Ninja Sex Party.
"If you say so. Don't say I didn't warn you."
I am going to take a stab at an ecchi scene next chapter. I already have one in mind so don't suggest any for this time. But do please leave a review!
