The people were shown to the lobby for a moment as some other people were being introduced. Stepping through a dimensional wall, were two women who looked to be between twenty and thirty years old. One was a blonde, the other was dark-skinned with glasses. In the blonde's arms was a toddler with dark hair and skin. That instantly had Yang and Weiss cooing.
"Um...where are we?" the dark-skinned woman asked.
"You are in my theater," the Curator said kindly. "Welcome Saphron, Terra, and Adrian Cotta-Arc."
"Arc?" Pyrrha, Ruby, Velvet, and Penny asked at once.
"Yes. This is one of Jaune's older sisters, her wife, and their son." Instantly, Ruby was before them catching them by surprise.
"Hi, there!" the younger girl said cheerfully. The two women looked surprised while little Adrian clapped his hand when he saw the petals. "My name is Ruby Rose! Jaune's best friend. It's nice to meet you."
"Um...it's nice to meet you too?" Saphron said. As she went to shake her hand, Pyrrha gently pushes Ruby out of the way. Her hand grabbed Saphron's confusing the woman. "Uh..."
"Hi, I'm Jaune's partner Pyrrha Nikos," the redhead said with a smile. "Your brother has been a pleasure to work with. He's rather inspiring."
"Sure..." Saphron shook her hand, while Terra giggled and Adrian laughed as well.
"So I take it what the older looking Jaune was true," Terra asked the Curator. "That we are here to watch the lives of Saphron's baby brother?"
"Yes. Why don't you get some food and we can have you sit down. We can even make some baby formula," the Curator replied.
"That would be lovely, thank you," Saphron grinned. She blinked and inspected him. "Wait a minute. Are you another version of my brother?"
"Yes, I am. But to differentiate, please call me the Curator."
"And how about the other one?"
"Call him the Cameraman. He has other titles too but that's the easiest."
The group all gathered into the theater again, the villains being forced back into their seats. Cinder was busy watching the multiverse spiral while they spoke, curious since previous warriors were able to interact with it. Emerald stood by, ready to do as her mistress wished. Mercury meanwhile was just relaxing, getting a refill of this time a slushy made out of some cola from another world. It was refreshing.
So far he, Roman, and Neo were the ones who were the least annoying of the villains.
They got back into their seats, with Terra, Adrian, and Saphron sitting with the parents. The teams were back in their teams for the time being.
"I wonder what we will see," Saphron said happily. Adrian cooed softly clapping his hand.
The screen opens up to Jaune, a little older, sitting at a cafe table. He seemed to be about in his early or mid-twenties. The blonde hair was a little wilder and he had a better fashion sense, to say the least. He had on a white blazer over a white shirt and black slacks with leather shoes. He had a nice gold watch on his right hand.
"What the fuck?" Coco whistled. "This one knows who to dress up!"
"Coco language! There is a baby!" Ruby chastised her.
"But I do agree, Jaune here looks well dressed. Maybe we need to speak whoever dressed him up to do so here too," Saphron laughed.
Meanwhile, Summer stilled in her seat. "It can't be..."
In front of him was a cup of tea and some biscuits. However, something else was on the table before him. Nine golden cards that were laid out in a three by three square.
"What are those?" Weiss asked. They looked pretty.
"Those are Servant Class Cards," the Curator replied.
"Servants?" Winter eyes widen. "He has servants?"
"Not like that," he said shaking his hands. "Servants in that world are special. They are Heroic Spirits, the souls of the heroes and legends, tied to a person known as a Master. Jaune happens to have nine of them. Class cards are special in that they allow the Master to equip the souls and use their abilities themselves."
"So cool," Ruby, Yang, and Penny gasped.
"So...like slaves?" Ilia glared.
"It depends on the Master. Jaune's chose him. Seeing potential in the young man, they chose him as their vessel on their mission."
"And what is that?" Ozpin asked worriedly.
"To stop a Beast. A monster that can eliminate all life on Remnant with ease. Jaune and his group managed to stop it twice already but it never fully awakened. They were lucky, to say the least. This one has been traveling the multiverse for five years now."
The entire time he spoke, Summer stared at the screen frozen in her spot.
However, Jaune's head immediately shot up and held his two hands above his head. His middle finger was up.
"What is he doing?" Glynda asked.
"Giving someone the finger obviously, teach," Neo mocked her. The strict woman glared at her but the criminal was not scared of her.
"What are you doing?" a voice asked. One of the cards vanish and the others floated and vanished as well. No one batted an eye. Jaune looked at the chair across from him as a man appeared. Sitting was an elderly man, he was dressed in a black pinstripe business suit, black gloves and had a fedora covering his head and face. Save for his glowing blue right eye.
Everyone immediately felt a chill as they saw the elderly man sitting the before them. Adrian began to whimper and Penny felt oddly scared.
"W-What is up with him?" Emerald stutters. Cinder was gripping her seat and this was the first time since meeting her mistress that she felt it. The terror of someone else.
Mercury gulped but felt weirdly at ease with his presence.
"He is one of the Servants given modern-day clothing," the Curator replied. "One of the most dangerous ones too."
"How dangerous are we speaking?" Qrow asked. If he was drinking booze he'd be upchucking it right now.
"He was able to make an immortal killable. He can kill anything he sets his mind to it, the stronger it is he just needs a little more time to do so. But once the bell tolls, this man will murder you. The First Hassan, the original leader of the first group that can be officially called assassins. The First Hassan."
"Huh...no wonder I feel some kinship," Mercury laughed nervously. "We're in the same profession."
"Uh, hate to burst your bubble kid," Tai said. "He's way above your station."
"Don't have to tell me twice."
"Ziusudra," Jaune answered as he kept his arms up. His fingers were still up and waved them around. "I felt it again. Someone is watching me."
"What?" Blake asked.
"This Jaune has, again, been using the cards for five years. A lot of them have started to impart their skills onto him," the Curator answered.
"So he has the abilities of some of them?" Neptune groaned. This one has the abilities of heroes? So not fair.
"Yes, and one of them can view the timelines and worlds. So he has a partial idea of people watching him."
"I see. Why are you doing that vulgar action?" the old man spoke slowly as he poured himself some tea and ate a sandwich.
"He doesn't have to do that," Glynda agreed, as did Winter and Saphron.
"That's a bad thing to teach his nephew," Saphron frowned.
"Don't do be too stuck up Saph," Terra laughed. "Besides I'm sure Adrian won't learn it."
"Because I'm pretty sure it's the immortal asshole or the dick wizard," he replied. After a few more seconds he put his hands down. "I'm just telling them how I feel about them spying on me."
"Immortal asshole?" Ozpin asked thinking what that meant. He hoped that wasn't him.
"I'm more interested in knowing what he means by dick wizard," Yang snickered.
"I understand. While I can tolerate the Magus, that vampire is a bit...annoying." The two men grimace, shuddering as they remember the man who set them on this whole thing. While he and the people he was close to thought it was because of the gods, in truth it was because of this vampire.
Summer sucked in a breath and then her eyes narrowed. She was sure now, that was her friend on screen. That was her Jaune. But it only had been five weeks since he's disappeared. He's been traveling for five years? That...that was crazy!
"Of course, but they've both been a big help." Jaune took another sip and nodded. "So what are you going to be doing today? I mean we just arrived in this world after all. The others are out to explore and gather info."
"Smart plan," Ironwood and the various leaders agreed. "In a new land, reconnaissance is the best thing to do."
"Most of these Remnants have been the same Jaune, only with a few differences." The old man turned his eyes to the crowd of people who were laughing and just walking the streets of Vale. "This doesn't seem too different."
"Well, it is," Jaune sighed. Looking at the newspaper in his hands, the blonde pointed at the date. "It's twelve years before I met you and the other guys at age seventeen. That means the version of me in this world is five."
"Huh, so time travel works?" Nora asked aloud.
"Each universe turns differently to others. Only those who are multiversal travelers such as the Cameraman and the one on the screen can figure discern the time differences easily."
"Mayhaps that the monster we are hunting is in this world. The King of Knights has asked us to gather to help chase down the beast. You were chosen as our vessel Jaune Arc." The blonde rolled his eyes.
"King of Knights?" Penny asked getting excited. That sounded interesting.
"Yes, one of his Heroic Spirits is the King of Knights. The one who has been personally teaching Jaune how to sword fight. The person Jaune wishes to emulate the most. His...ideal self to say the least," the Curator replied.
"Jaune always did want to be a hero," Saphron cooed and Adrian clapped his hands.
"But it took me four years to get enough mana and aura to provide physical bodies for all nine of you at the same time," Jaune sighed. He remembered all the training he had to do. All the fights, the wars, the battles, all the struggles he had been having to get to the point he needed to help out his team. "Sadly, you guys still don't have full access to your powers unless I Install you."
"Install?" Sun asked.
"It's what equipping their spirits to him is called," the Curator replied.
"Neat!"
"It is fine, we understand. We know you are still growing. We are proud of you." The old man nodded and put on a coat as he stood, making Jaune blush. They have said that often but he never got used to it. "I shall take a stroll. I do seem to remember a park here where I like to sit."
"For a killer, it seems like he likes the finer side of things," Velvet said.
"Not all killer kill for fun. Most assassins need payment," Mercury replied calmly. "Most have normal lives outside of their job."
"Oh," Jaune said surprised. "I thought you'd be the one stuck with me today." The old man chuckled.
"No Arc, I am not." When Jaune blinked, the man was already gone.
"We're screwed if he's ever after anyone we knew," Ghira said. He vanished in a moment.
"He's not even the sneakiest," the Curator told him. "Namely because he's usually in heavy armor."
"Damn presence concealment." He leaned back in his chair wondering who would be joining him today.
"Don't worry about him, you have me today," a sensual voice asked as he felt a pair of hands wrap around his neck.
Summer's eyes widen and then narrow. She remembers that voice. "Oh god it's her," Summer whispered already feeling a headache coming on.
"Did you say something Summer?" Tai asked her.
"I think...this is the Jaune from my world," Summer groaned. This caught everyone's attention. "And I have met the owner of that voice. She...is weird."
A curtain of red obstructs his view, as he stared up. A pair of red eyes look down at him as a smile looked down at his face.
Everyone who liked Jaune did not like how close this woman was to him right now.
"Oh my," Saphron gasped. "What's this?" Terra laughed and slightly shoved her wife.
"Shush you. We're watching your brother and a woman for once!" Terra laughed. "And she seems to like him!"
That got the attention of girls, maybe they can get info on how to get Jaune to like them!
"Nobu," Jaune laughed as he fixed how he was sitting. He turned to her and raised an eyebrow. She was dressed in a tight red shirt that showed off her chest and toned stomach. Black jeans that had a studded belt, and a pair of heeled boots. Huh, that's usually what her middle form used.
"What does he mean by that?" Ruby asked.
"Damn, she's just my type," Qrow mumbled.
"I did not need to know that you deviant," Winter gagged.
"Surprised it's you and not one of your other selves," Jaune laughed as she pouted.
"Now I too am curious, what does he mean by other selves?" Weiss asked.
"We all drew straws, even the men. I won, not them," she said tugging him out of the chair. "So I'm not going to waste our day off just sitting about."
"She knows what she wants," Neo grinned. "I can respect that."
Summer slightly simmered at the sight.
"Wait! I haven't paid yet!" Jaune shouted as he grabbed a few Lien and threw it onto the table. He may have paid more than he should have, but the woman pulled him away faster than he could count.
"That has happened more than a couple of times to me," Tai said. He glared at Raven and surprisingly Summer. Raven rolled her eyes, but Summer was too busy looking at the screen. Ghira nodded, knowing that Kali had done similar.
"How did your younger selves take it?" Jaune asked as the two of them walked down a sidewalk.
"The little King didn't take it well, complaining that it should have been her hanging out with you," Nobu smirked. "While the Fool is angry she can't see the guns of this world."
"Little King? Fool?" Ren wondered. "Maybe those are her other selves."
Jaune rolled his eyes. This person, one of the nine Heroic Spirits who inhabited his body, was different than the others.
Not only was she the only female in his body, she was special. Three different versions of her were with him, all of them were from different parts of her life.
"Interesting," Ozpin said, curious about that situation.
One was her youngest self, the one wanting to become the king of her nation. The one who had become the king, being called by the childhood title of Fool. Then there was the one walking with him, the one who became a Demon to reunify her country that lead to her death.
"What does that mean?" Terra asked.
"She...did evil stuff. Murdered, pillaged, destroyed others on her way to the top," the Curator replied. That had the audience blanched. "However despite that, her actions had unified themselves against her. She made her nation whole despite becoming the villain."
"Some people have done that as well," Ozpin sighed as did Ironwood. They knew how things like that would occur, it's always sad but it happens.
Each of them was different but he came to care for all of them and his other mentors.
That warmed the hearts of his friends but made Cinder roll her eyes. Raven did as well.
"Of course they did," Jaune laughed as they saw Beacon Academy across the water. "They want to hang out too you know."
"Of course, but if they want something they should fight for it. Claim it with their own hands." The woman pulled him closer. "Like I am. I am not going to lose to that woman who you've set your sights on."
"Oh my!" Saphron giggled as did Terra. Kali was surprised. Romance? Summer stilled even more.
Jaune flinched, being reminded of the love he had for a certain woman. A sad smile came to his lips. "You know I can't be with her. We're stuck on this mission until I die or we beat that Beast completely. I can't even control my world-hopping."
"That sucks," Nora said holding Ren's hand.
"That's usually not like you Jaune. This is like you from all those years ago," Nobu commented as they entered an ice cream parlor. The duo ordered their favorites, vanilla for Jaune and dark chocolate for her.
"Well, I did fall in love with a woman ten years my senior. I haven't seen her in five years too," Jaune sighed. "I wonder how she is doing?"
Summer's eyes widened. "He didn't..." she whispered.
"What's wrong mom?" Ruby asked.
"I think...he has a crush on me..." The woman said softly. "I only knew him sparingly for three years though...how did he..." That made Saphron immediately sit next to her.
"You must tell me about that version of him!" Saphron said. "When this is done after all." That caught Summer, and Tai, by surprise.
"Um...Sure?"
Nobu frowned and forced him to face her. "I am sorry I brought that up, let us forget about her for now. Just focus on me." Jaune looked into her eyes and chuckled.
Roman whistled. "She must not like you," the thief told Summer who glared at him. "What don't hate me. I'm just saying what I see."
"Sometimes I'm thankful there's a woman in our group. I don't think I can come to the guys for emotional stuff like this." Nobu raised an eyebrow but laughs.
"They'd probably give him some terrible advice," Yang laughed.
"I'll have you know we guys have great advice!" Sun countered. "Tell 'em Nep!"
"Right we do!" the blue-haired boy nodded, trying to act cool.
"I'm sure a lot of them can help you. Most of those men were married after all," Nobu replied as she began to drag him about as they ate their cones. "Except Gil. He may tell you to do something that won't or can't help."
"Gil?" Nora laughed. "Such a stupid name." She felt a shudder suddenly as something from the screen glared at her. "Uh...what was that?"
"That would have been Gilgamesh. The one who is imprinting his Clairvoyance onto Jaune." When Nora gave the Curator a blank look he explained further. "He's the one letting Jaune slightly see us."
"Oh! Then she shouldn't have a stupid nickname." Again she shuddered as it felt like someone was glaring at her.
"All of them would," he laughed. "But they all have the quirks. As do you." Nobu just rolled her eyes as they walked around the shopping district of Vale. Nobu would try on clothes, even lingerie, making Jaune blush.
Most of the men appreciated the view of the woman posing for Jaune.
"Red is really good on her," Qrow whistled.
"Agreed," Ironwood mumbled. Sun and Neptune ogled her too.
They looked at food, go into malls to look around as well as get info from CCTV as well as any form of media.
"Again smart," Winter mentioned again. They went through with what they were saying earlier, which was nice.
It was when they were walking back after lunch that something else happens. Jaune heard crying and looked around. "What's wrong?" Nobu asked as she hugged the man's arm. A smirk was on her face. She would use all this time to convince him that she was better than that Summer!
"I feel torn on this," Yang sighed. "On one hand, I want to cheer for this chick. On the other, she's dissing Summer."
"I know right?" Ruby nodded her head.
"There's a crying kid," Jaune answered as he walked toward the sound. He saw a young boy with blonde hair dressed in a hoodie and shorts. Approaching him, Jaune knelt and tapped his shoulder. "Hey what's wrong?" Nobu stood just a few feet away from him.
"He would so do that," Saphron laughed. Terra laughed with her wife and Adrain watched happily.
"He did that in another world too," Pyrrha told them. "He helped a kid find his mom."
That was when the boy turned around and Jaune froze. Standing there was a younger him.
"So cute..." Pyrrha gasped. Velvet took a picture of that and Penny found him adorable, as did a lot of the other women.
"That's indeed how he looked like," Saphron sighed remembering the good times.
Now Jaune had met various versions of himself. Some good, some evil, but they were usually around his age give or take a few years. This one was five. Despite that, Jaune smiled. "I lost my mommy and daddy," Mini-Jaune sniffled. "I was going with them to buy a birthday gift for big sis Saph and...I got lost."
"Aww..." Terra laughed before kissing her wife on the cheek. "Isn't he so sweet?"
"When he wasn't annoying yes he was," Saphron smiled.
"I can't take how cute he is!" Ruby yelled.
"I see. Do you want help finding them? I know what it feels like to not be with my family," the older Arc said, kneeling before him. He had to leave his family to go on this quest. He hadn't seen his actual family for five years now, but he did enjoy meeting alternate versions of them.
"That...sucks," Ren said, in a very ineloquent way. Having lost his own family, he knew how it was missing them.
"I know right?" Ilia agreed. She hasn't seen her family for months now. Blake looked at her parents and smiled at them.
"Y-You do?" the kid asked.
"Yeah, so I 'd like to help you." Jaune held out his hand to his younger self. "My name is Jaune, and the pretty lady behind me is Nobu."
"Hello," Nobu said waving.
"M-My name is Jaune too!" the boy replied a little happier.
"Gag me," Emerald said.
"It is a touching sight, but I thought we would be watching some action here," Cinder yawned. Mercury meanwhile stayed silent.
He felt jealous of the kid, hell of Jaune, for having a family who loved him. His father wasn't like that at all. But he was a sucker for things like this. For people having things, things he didn't have. the family was one of them and it always made him feel...better?
"That's so cool!" Jaune played up his excitement and Nobu giggled behind him. "So what do you say? Want my help mini-me?" The little Jaune wiped his eyes and nodded. He took Jaune's hand and he looked at Nobu.
"D'aww...this is nice," Kali smiled.
"Come on let's go find his parents," Nobu said. She was surprised when Mini-Jaune took her hand and gave her a shaky smile. "You wanted to hold my hand?"
"Uh-huh!" the young boy replied. "You're pretty. And daddy said that if I like a girl I should hold their hand." The older Jaune facepalmed when Nobu grinned at him.
"That does sound like advice dad would give Jaune..." Saphron groaned.
"Was it part of the whole, "Name's Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, ladies love it" package?" Ruby giggled.
"Maybe. Please don't tell me he said that."
"He did."
As they walked away from the spot, the screen glitched.
"What was that?" Tai wondered.
"Wait you saw that too?" the Curator asked surprised.
"We did," Summer said,
"Something bad is going to happen to that world," the Curator answered. His tone was grave. "If a glitch was visible to the audience, someone is interfering not native from that universe."
Looking around for the Arc parents, the child Jaune was eagerly speaking to Nobu and his older self about things he liked. Video games, comic books, dancing all of them were said with such earnest joy that Jaune couldn't help but feel happy with his younger self. Nobu even seemed interested in knowing about how this Jaune was as a kid.
"Looks like a family," Neo points out.
"Kinda cute in an odd sort of way," Roman agreed.
That was when a voice entered his head. "Mongrel," the voice said.
"Ah! It's the asshole who keeps glaring at me!" Nora shouted. She shivered once more. "THERE IT IS AGAIN!"
"Stop insulting the man!"Penny said worriedly.
"But I can't help that his name is dumb! AHHHH!"
"It seems like he knows something is up though," Velvet said.
"Yeah, Gilgamesh?" Jaune replied.
"Something just entered the world, like us. However, something about it feels off," Gilgamesh replied. "I have informed the Holy Sword Wielder as well as the others. You didn't give us enough mana for a fight, so we're going to be returning to you."
"Now that was stupid on his end," Cinder said. "Always be prepared for an attack."
"He went there thinking it was a reconnaissance day, I'm pretty sure he wasn't expecting a fight," Glynda retorted.
"As much as I hate to say it but I agree with the bitch. Constant vigilance," Qrow said drinking his smoothie.
"Got it. I'll be on the lookout," Jaune replied before he turned to Nobu, who also got the message. Thankfully she was close enough to him in case something happened and they can get into a fight.
"So not as stupid," Weiss sighed. "All the older ones seem better than the one we know."
"The one we know has only had months of training," Blake countered. "Give him a few more and as the headmaster said, he'll be on par with us."
"Sis?" mini-Jaune asked. The two looked up and saw standing there was Saphron. She was smiling at the little boy. "What are you doing here? I thought you were staying at home?"
"It's me!" Saphron pointed at herself and then the one on the screen.
"Mama!" Adrian cooed.
"Oh, I came here because I was worried about you!" Saphron replied. "I just couldn't leave my baby brother all alone can I?" The older sister looked at her baby brother before turning to both Jaune and Nobu. "Thank you for finding him."
"Definitely," Terra nodded, knowing her wife was like that.
"This feels off," Raven said out of the blue. "They say something is wrong, that woman is supposed to be back at home, and all of a sudden she appears looking for her younger sibling? Something is not right."
"As she said, I feel like something is off with the situation," Ironwood nodded.
"Maybe she's the one who's going to attack?" Ghira offered.
"I'm glad we could have helped," Nobu said. "Aren't you glad?" The redhead asked mini-Jaune who nodded his head. He turned to go to his sister, who had her arms open, only for his older self pull him back.
"What?" Yang asked surprised.
"Mister?" mini-Jaune asked.
His blue eyes were narrowed as he looked at Saphron. "Jaune stay behind me," the older blonde commanded. "Who are you?"
"The plot thickens," Mercury grinned eating more popcorn.
"What do you mean? I'm his sister Saphron, you wouldn't know me," the female blonde replied.
"He would though," Ren said.
"I know what Saphron looks like this year. You're far too old," Jaune growled. That tipped off Nobu who stepped closer to her Master. "I ask you again who are you?"
"Stranger Danger!" Penny shouted again, having slightly understood what it meant now. And this time the context seemed right. Who was this trying to get their hands on mini-Jaune?
"Jaune!" a different voice called out in his head. "There's an attack on the people in the city! It seems to be more than the cops can handle. Some weird ice beings are attacking."
"I know you don't have enough Mana," Jaune mentally replied. "Will you guys be okay, Arthur?"
"Whoever this Saphron is, she is bad news," Tai said. "No offense."
"None taken," the blonde replied. She hugged her son for comfort. "That version of me is scary."
"These people are in trouble. I'd rather not see them fail, even if they are not my people," a deep voice replied.
"I too wish to help," Ziusudra told him through their connection.
"He stumbled onto something he shouldn't have," Cinder smirked. Things were looking interesting.
"And it seems like it is a good thing."
"Fine but if you run out of mana, immediately return," Jaune frowned. He wasn't the only one. Saphron's kind smile vanished as she frowned and glared at them.
"She's scaring me now," Terra said, holding onto her wife.
"Just give me my brother," Saphron said, her voice deathly cold. "I am his sister, Saphron."
"I don't think you understand the situation you're-" Nobu was starting to speak before Saphron did something Jaune wasn't prepared for, nor was Nobu, despite having her defenses up. The blonde woman raised her hand and a single revolver made of pure ice materialized shot Nobu in the face.
"AH!" the people in the crowd who weren't prepared for the loud noise jumped from the loud bang. Adrian started crying.
"This is why I don't like babies in movie theaters," Sun sighs. "Sorry!"
"No I understand but say that again and I will deck your face," Terra replied.
"Just click the button on your seat Saphron," the Curator said. "It will dampen the noise of Adrian's cries for others until he stops." The Arc sibling found a button that said, 'dampen', and pressed it. To everyone else, it became back to normal. Only she and Terra could hear their son's cries.
Her entire head was frozen solid before it started to spread over her body.
"That's is terrifying," Velvet said.
The gun in Saphron's hand shatters and a second one appeared in her left hand and she took another shot this time at Jaune. The blonde grabbed his younger self and rolled out of the way. The bullet was embedded into a bench, freezing it completely.
"So her shots freeze anything it touches," Coco gulped. "I'd hate to fight her."
"Give me my brother," Spahron demanded. Her irises grew into a darker blue as her sclera turned black and she summoned another gun.
"Okay, she's a bad guy," Ruby said. "I mean she shot Nobu almost immediately!"
"I-I'm scared," mini-Jaune whimpered in Jaune's hand looking at this perversion of her sister in fear.
"I don't think I'll give him to you," Jaune replied. Saphron frowned before she turned to Nobu who roared and a dark red flame encased her body melting the ice.
"YOU BITCH!" Nobu yelled. Her flames melted all the ice and her red eyes were glowing.
Cinder's eyes widened. It was like the maiden powers she wanted.
"Tch," Saphron growled. "I don't have time for this." She threw her free hand up and several frozen humanoids appeared mid-air and landed before them.
"So we know for sure she's the source of the attack," Winter said.
"Damn, I don't think I can leave this kid alone," Jaune frowned. "Can any of you get him for me?"
"We had underestimated the people. Since we can't use our Noble Phantasms, we're having a slightly difficult time," Arthur replied.
"Shame. I would have liked to see how these Heroes worked," Ozpin said. Maybe if he could, he can summon them in their world to fight against Salem.
"Should have gone back instead," a burly voice grunted. "Now we're stuck here fighting, with you in there without help."
"He has Jaune's accent," Pyrrha said.
"His name is Napoleon and he comes from a country akin to Ansel," the Curator said. "He was a king there." Despite the situation, that a person was dimension-hopping like other Jaunes, he felt the need to explain to them.
"I just wished we thought this through," Jaune said as he began dodging the ice monsters, with Nobu having summoned a sword and cutting them down. "We didn't expect it to be like this on day one."
Throughout their movements, Saphron kept taking shots at them before dropping the gun and summoning another one. Each time they hit something, the item instantly froze.
"That is stupid," Nora said. "Why only have one shot?"
"Because she only needs one shot most of the time," Glynda answered her student. "Given how quick that ice forms and her accuracy, this Saphron seems to be a quick draw too, showing that she only needs one shot to win."
"Do you mind if I lend a hand then?" a different Jaune voice asked aloud. A dimensional wall came up and passed over the people in the mall, taking away the mini-Jaune vanished.
"WHAT!?" RWBY and NPR shouted.
"NO!" Saphron roared, ice creeping around her feet.
In place was the Cameraman glaring at her. "Don't worry I dropped him off with his family," he told Jaune, who was slightly relieved upon hearing that.
"Thank goodness," Pyrrha sighed.
"It must mean he booked it here upon feeling a disturbance," the Curator stated.
"Who are you?" Jaune asked, instantly on guard after getting over his relief.
"Just a passing through Kamen Rider, remember that," the Cameraman replied. "You should go to him, Spirit. If you don't take this seriously, we may just lose. That woman feels wrong."
"That she does," Raven nodded. Even she knew an insane person when she saw one.
"I just want my baby brother," Saphron growled as she glared at them. Nobu vanished and turned into a card in Jaune's hand. "Why must all of you get in my way!?"
"She wants mini-Jaune," Penny frowned. This Saphron was being weird.
In her hand appeared several watches that started to float. "Vanish with the blizzard."
"What?" the Curator asked, not knowing what those were.
All the watches clicked at the same time. "Aokiji!" "Winter Schnee!" "Zamigo Delma!"
"Why did it say my name?" Winter asked confused.
"Oh no..." the Curator said. "The first and last name are dangerous beings associated with ice. As you are Winter. If she's doing something, that means there's going to be a problem."
A blizzard kicked up around Saphron and obscured woman for but a moment. When it died down, everything within fifteen feet of her was frozen. Gone were the watches instead she was now dressed differently. On her head was a dark blue Stetson and she had on dark blue lipstick, and a white bandana around her neck. Her dress had become a white shirt underneath a light blue vest and dark blue pants with boots. All along it was a white outline that showed off things that represented the cold. Around her waist were holsters that had two revolvers on it.
"I'm sorry honey, but even though she is scaring me, that look is doing things to me that it shouldn't be," Terra said blushing.
"Hot," Neptune muttered, once again getting a slap to the back of the head.
"Must we do this every time Neptune?" Weiss sighed.
"Oh..." both Jaune's said surprised, having not expected that.
The humanoid figures suddenly stopped being so erratic and stood up straight. Their bodies changing and becoming more uniform. Just like their creator, they suddenly had a theme going on, becoming western-themed bandits. In their hands were knives and pistols as well.
"That's cool," Yang gasped. People groaned at that. "I wasn't trying to make a pun damn it! I've been holding back on those! That was pretty cool!"
"Indeed, much better than what I can do with that much detail," Winter said watching the sheer amount of minions, and knowing she had more out there, was a truly scary thought.
"Jaune! What's happening over there? The monsters we were fighting had changed." a new voice asked in his head. This one was calmer than the others but seemed to be a little out of breath. "I knew we should have gone back first."
"Too late for that now." "Include Avenger!" Jaune's right hand was encased in flames and a demonic blade came out. The black and red fires engulfed the blade as he cut his way through the minions. He didn't have time to Install!
"They have their backs against the wall it seems," Glynda frowned. This was starting to be a situation.
The Cameraman grabbed a white book and it turned into a sword.
Both Winter and Qrow glared at the screen. They remembered how that damned album became a sword and gun and how it easily trounced them.
A magenta energy covered the blade as he slashed through them as easily as well.
"Surprised he hasn't henshin yet," the Curator said.
"Henshin?" Emerald asked.
"It means to transform!" Penny informed. "Does that mean, Mr. Cameraman come from the same part of the multiverse as Gaim?"
"Yes, he does. He's the protector of that section."
The two raised their swords and slashed through the two ice bullets aimed their way and they looked at Saphron who had covered her mouth with a white bandana. "Where is my baby brother?" she demanded as she kept firing. The two men blocking the attacks saw that even like this they were beginning to freeze.
"Come on! Push her back!" Yang shouted.
"Seems like we'll have to take this seriously," the Cameraman sighed.
"Yeah," Jaune frowned. "But we need to capture her. Get answers."
"Can we recruit this one?" Winter asked. Summer turned her eyes to the solider, frowning.
"Oh? Why do you ask Specialist Schnee?" Ironwood asked his question.
"He seems to know the proper protocol in situations. We can use a man like him in our forces."
"If we ever meet him personally, I may indulge in that thought."
"Do not ignore me!" Saphron yelled and suddenly dozens of frozen rifles appeared all around the two, surrounding them in a dome. Within seconds, began their assault.
"They are fucked," Roman said. There were about fifty rifles all trained on them and firing at once.
"BITCH STOLE MY MOVE!" Nobu yelled from inside of Jaune's head.
"Now is not the time Nobu!" Jaune yelled. He was getting ready to summon a large flame, and the Cameraman was already summoning a dimensional wall when the unexpected happens. All the bullets froze in place.
"What?" the Curator gasped as he stared t the screen. He could feel it. The energy felt similar to the old man they had met on screen but it felt...purer?
Magenta bullets shot out from nowhere in rapid succession, destroying all the guns and frost bullets.
"That was some nice shooting," Ruby said, appreciating the move.
"Another one?" Saphron glared. On the other side of Jaune appeared a portal of golden clocks. Stepping through was a Jaune younger than either one of the other two. Unlike the other two, he wasn't as well dressed. He was in his normal Pumpkin Pete's hoodie, jeans, and sneakers.
Everyone who knew Jaune knew that outfit, it's what made him both ridiculed and his person.
"Yo," this Jaune replied. "Seems like I finally found one of you. Do you know how hard it was for me to search for even one of you and the problems you did across the multiverse?"
"Huh?" Summer asked confused.
"Another multiversal Jaune..." Raven gasped.
Saphron's eyes widen as she saw him. "You're the one who our leader saw. The threat..."
"So there is a group," the Curator said frowning.
"Oh?" He turned to his older sister, well a version of her.
"Zi-O..."
"That means...King of Time in ancient Mistralian," Kali said. Now that was throwing them for a loop.
Saphron growled. "I'll have to take care of you right now before you cause more problems for our cause."
"I wonder what they are planning," Ozpin said.
She gathered her hands and dropped a glowing ball of energy onto the floor. From beneath it, a large being was starting to break through the floor. A large claw appeared as a giant frozen body was pulling itself up. It was a large beast of a dragon.
"It's bigger than anything I've ever summoned..." Winter gasped.
"Master of Spirits, can you handle her? Me and Decade can do handle that big guy," Zi-O said. "Given that I saw a Nobunaga with you, that means you have the firepower to handle her right?"
"Damn right we do!" three voices yelled in Jaune's head.
"Yeah kick her ass!" Coco cheered! "Show them that more dakka counts as a viable strategy!" Velvet covered her face. Sometimes Coco was too much.
"And don't worry about your other Spirits my team is with them." Zi-O smiled as he summoned his driver. It was white with two slots on either side of it.
And image quickly passed by of a blonde knight standing next to Summer Schnee, who was summoning lights from her hands and shooting down the frozen monsters as the knight slashed at them.
"It's our kid!" Ruby pointed out, making Weiss blush. That made Summer, Tai and Neptune curious. Weiss quickly told them what they learned from that past universe and it made Tai dizzy from the thought. Neptune meanwhile was grinning. Summer, she was happy to know a version of her daughter found love.
But she kept looking back to the screen, hoping to see more of her friend.
Another image came up and this time it was Hei, fighting alongside a dark-skinned man in robes. He had a curved staff. As she used an ax, she cut them down as various lights from the sky started to rain down on their opponents.
"Now it's Yang's kid!" Ruby shouted. Both Yang and Blake looked away, and Tai felt even dizzier. He hadn't expected to see grandkids!
"Who's the father for this one?" Sun asked. When Yang and Blake looked at him, he looked pleased. "Aw shucks, I'd be honored to do that if we were in that universe too."
"Please don't say that out loud," Ghira said. He wasn't fairing much better than Tai. Kali meanwhile cooed at the image of her granddaughter. Raven was studying her as well.
The last one was of Sif standing to a nearly naked blonde with a tome in his hand. He was shooting laser beams from a staff, and she was swinging around a giant book. Enclosing and destroying monsters between its pages.
"I would have not thought that was our daughter's semblance," Ren said surprised.
"Would fit Blake's kid more," Nora agreed. That made the cat Faunus groan.
The Cameraman looked surprised before grinning. "You're a hard man to find Zi-O. You know your friends are worried about you right?" He summoned his Decadriver.
Ruby suddenly looked at the screen, understanding what the Cameraman meant. That was their Jaune. The one that kickstarted all of this.
"So we doing this or what?" The demonic blade disappeared from Jaune's hand as a golden card appeared once more. This one had the image of a person on his knees, covered in chains.
"That's not worrying at all," Glynda sarcastically said.
Zi-O clicked a watch, much like Saphron did, and it made an announcement. "Zi-O!" Placing it on the right side of his belt, he tapped the top and did a pose. Behind him, a clock made out of energy appeared.
"What are they doing?" Winter asked.
The Cameraman showed off his card, an image of his armor in front of it, and held it forward. Before slotting it into his belt that was turned vertical instead of horizontal.
"No don't tell me!" Sun got excited.
The golden card in Jaune's hand burst into red and black flames encasing his body.
"Oh god, it is!" Yang said happily. This confused a lot of people. Nora and Ruby caught on though and were exited in their seats. Ruby more so knowing that it was her crush on screen!
"HENSHIN!/INSTALL AVENGER!"
"A TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE!" the ones who knew shouted.
"Kamen Rider~ ZI-O!" The self-titled Zi-O literal spun his belt buckle counterclockwise. The clock behind him had its hand go to 10:10 and summoned armor around his body. A silver band went up the center of his body and then around his collar. The visor was white with the middle being blank before magenta-colored characters appeared on his face.
"That was cool!" Nora shouted.
"A watch theme," Cinder hummed. "Fitting for one calling himself the king of time."
"What does his faceplate say?" Ghira asked his wife.
"It says Zi-O," Kali replied.
"Kamen Ride! D-D-Decade!" the Cameraman, no Decade, had closed the sides of his belt making the buckle go back to its normal form. Twenty different grey silhouettes appeared around him before coming together onto his body. A magenta, white, and black armor encased him and his visor was green.
Winter and Qrow once again glared at the image before them.
As for Jaune, his entire body was encased by black and red flames before it showed his new clothes, much like Saphron did. This time he was dressed in all black armor with a golden sun on his chest. Black leather pants and boots appeared on his lower half and a red cape over his left shoulder. Lastly, his eyes turned red. In his right hand was a katana, and there was a rifle just on his side.
"Kind of looks like you're clothes Ruby," Summer pointed out. She was saying that however because she didn't want to say she knew where it came from. That it was Nobu's actual clothes refitted to be on Jaune's body. She felt irked for some reason, namely that it seemed like her friend, the one she made after her family died, was wearing someone else's clothes. Especially Nobu's.
Saphron was shocked for a moment before a palm grabbed her face and shoved her into a store to the side. Avenger (Jaune) slammed her into another wall, and they ended up in a shoe store.
"The fight is starting!" Mercury cheered.
Saphron summoned a few rifles and began firing at him, along with some pistols. Avenger mimicked her movements and several of his rifles appeared and shot back. The bullets of ice and fire collided and began exploding all around Vale Public Mall. Several stores were being demolished from the crossfire and walls were destroyed, making holes to the outside.
Even stray shots destroyed parts of the mall farther than was anticipated.
"Holy shit!" Qrow shouted.
"Can you please watch your language," Saphron asked.
"Sorry, but look at what they are doing!"
Through the steam, Avenger shot forward a blazing katana being swung already.
Saphron instantly summoned a frozen saber in her hand and countered. Their energies exploded around them, destroying the store they were in.
"Brothers," Roman said.
"It may not be on par with Saiyan Jaune but they are showing skills I doubt most of us can mimic," Ozpin said.
"Yes! YES! SHOOT EVERYTHING!" Coco cackled. Finally, someone was doing what she loved to do!
"Coco you're scaring me..." Velvet said.
The two exited the store as it began to collapse, both had guns aimed at each other and began to shoot again. Avenger had more skill and was able to deflect with his sword. Due to not having the skill to do, Saphron had to summon a shield to protect herself instead.
Every attack would either freeze something or instantly burn something else. The two siblings fighting for their life.
Saphron held her son close. She didn't want to see this occurring.
Behind them, the two Riders were having an easy time against the dragon. Decade was easily just shooting at with his gun and Zi-O was slashing at it with his sword. It seemed like their opponent's ability to use summons was no up to snuff just yet. While she can handle smaller things, one large one was not in her repertoire.
"Until she trains but for now it's a weakness they can exploit," Raven said. Summer meanwhile was hoping it went back to her friend. She wanted him to be safe.
"Attack Ride! B-B-BLAST!" Decade aimed his gun at the head. His gun shifted in place a couple of times before magenta bullets sped towards his face.
"Did anyone catch how that happened?" Ruby blinked.
"The Cameraman, or as we should now call him by his actual title of Decade, can manipulate space." the Curator said as he was watching the world intently.
"Space? Like the stars and stuff?" Ilia asked.
"No. As in the distance between places. He can travel to any place easily." That made him consider something. "That would make him a counterpart to Zi-O. While I know Decade more those two seemed to be connected. What with Decade being one who can travel through dimensions and space, with Zi-O being tied to time. Time and space being connected after all."
"Sure Sure Uchi!" Zi-O aimed his gun at the same place and magenta bullets shot out too. The dragon roared and reared back as it slammed its claws into the ground. The two Riders were able to dodge it almost nonchalantly.
"Are they even taking this seriously?" Neptune asked.
"Dude, they are taking potshots and dodging like pros, they aren't," Sun answered.
"The dragon must be below their skill level then," Pyrrha said.
"Decade," Zi-O said. "We need to end this."
"Agreed. Kick?" Decade suggested. Zi-O nodded his head.
"Kick? What is a kick going to do?" Winter asked, scoffing at the idea.
In another part of the building, Avenger was trading blows with Saphron. The katana and saber they used respectively clashed and another shockwave occurred. The two spun away and summoned a flintlock pistol and revolver respectively, before firing.
"That is scary indeed," the Curator frowned. "Using those watches together has put Saphron on par with a servant. And they are already demigods in their own right."
"And there is a group of them running around the universe," Summer gasped. Did that mean Jaune was going to get caught up in it?
The two bullets clashed, creating another explosion.
In the smokescreen, a large amount of clicking can be heard. When the smoke cleared, dozens of rifles of each side began to fire and the two siblings danced between their bullets.
"I know this is happening in that universe right now, but why do these fights have to look so spectacular?" Tai groaned.
"Right dad? Their lives are on the line and it looks just so badass!" Yang complained.
"Who are you!?" Avenger demanded. "Why are you after that young Jaune?"
"You wouldn't understand you fake!" Saphron spat back as they countered each other. "You, them, all of you adult Jaune aren't needed. I just need my baby brother!"
"What does she mean by that?" Ozpin narrowed his eyes.
The two moved away and aimed only for Saphron to stop. Her body began to become static and she roared. "NO! NO! I HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY BABY BROTHER! I NEED MORE TIME!"
"Okay, so she's obsessed with the younger Jaune," Saphron frowned. Why would she be like that?
"What is happening to her?" Ren asked.
That confused Avenger. What did she mean by that?
"Seems like we're not the only ones confused," Qrow said.
As she was starting vanish she glared at him. "You cannot stop us. We will get what we want! The Jaunes that we deserve, we will have them!" Saphron yelled as she vanished into static.
"What the fuck?" Avenger asked.
"Agreed," Ghira nodded.
"For some reason, I felt bad for her."
"Final Attack Ride: D-D-Decade!"/"Finish Time: Zi-O!"
The two Riders stood next to each other and jumped. Several weird letters appeared before Zi-O and spiraled around the frozen dragon. Large human-sized golden cards lined up towards the beast for Decade.
"I'm having a PTSD flashback right now," Qrow said as he saw that move. Winter agreed.
The two of them shot forward. Decade slipped through the cards and landed a kicked. The katakana for "kick" spiraled together and ended up before the face of the monster, and Zi-O kicked the monster too.
"Sweet!" Sun shouted.
The two vanished before appearing on the other side of the monster, each landing and sliding after their kicks. It took a moment before the dragon exploded into shards of ice. Alongside Saphron's disappearance, all the small monsters shattered.
"That was awesome!" Nora cheered. She and Ruby high fived.
The trio of Jaune gathered up and returned to normal. "Well, this place is fucked," Jaune said to Zi-O and Decade. The trio looked around the mall and the damage they did. It would take years to repair all of that.
"Shame," Roman said.
"It's not. It can be easily looted now!" Neo suggested, causing her partner to smile.
"Don't worry, I got this," Zi-O replied. "I'm going to be tired after it so our meeting will have to happen later. But since you two are some of the Multiversal Arcs, I need to inform you...our worlds are all in danger. "
"Is that what he meant..." Ruby said remembering that the elder version of Jaune was asking her Jaune a favor.
"What do you-" Before Jaune and Decade could ask. Tiny gold watches began to float up and the world started to move backward. Zi-O was focusing and the other two Jaune's could see that time was going backward. Everyone except themselves was going in reverse.
"Time Stop, Time Rewind, Teleporting," Ghira listed off. " I can see why he calls himself King of Time."
"Why isn't Saphron appearing?" the version of her in the theater asked.
"She was not part of that world, hence the power doesn't affect her, nor is it affecting them," the Curator responded.
When the mall looked like it was before Saphron's attack, Zi-O knelt panting. A scarf appeared and circled Zi-O before Sif appeared. "My Lord," she said. "You need to rest. You know how tired you get after reversing the flow of time."
"Her lord?" Nora asked.
"Seems like she's taking the whole King of Time seriously," Ren said surprised at how...tender their daughter sounded with Jaune.
"Thank you, Sif," Zi-O smiled and the girl blushed. He turned to his alternate selves and nodded. I" I shall come to you when I've rested. We need to speak to others." Sif used her scarf as it spun around before flying out the door to pick up Hei and Summer, before vanishing.
"Wait I thought her Semblance is a giant book?" Pyrrha asked.
"Maybe she has two?" Penny suggested.
"Does that mean our daughter likes fearless leader?" Nora asked her boyfriend.
"Maybe?" Ren whispered back.
"Well," Decade sighed shaking his head. "Things are going to hell in a handbasket. I'll come get you if you need help dimension-hopping. I need to speak to someone. Seems like we're more fucked then we thought we were."
"Is he coming here?" Ozpin asked, far more invested now that the multiverse seemed to be moving in a way the Curator didn't expect.
"I believe he will."
"Wait, I'm so confused," Jaune asked. Nine golden cards appeared and nine people soon took their place. All of them exuding power that would make people fall to their knees. Decade, having gone against people just as strong as them, didn't. "What is happening?"
"They look so amazing/hot," the teens said, enjoying the view of the Servants. They seemed larger than life and like truly amazing people. Even the assassin, in his full glory, looked like something they would respect.
"Yes, Mongrel," Gilgamesh frowned at Decade. "What just happened?"
"Ah, it's funny name!" Nora shouted. Red eyes turned toward the screen and she flinched. "Sorry!"
"Honestly, I don't know," Decade sighed looking at where Zi-O was previously. "But that person seemed to know what is happening the most. So once he's ready, we'll get our answers. Until then just keep doing what you are doing."
A dimensional wall appeared and Decade vanished. Leaving a very confused Master of Spirits. "Seems like our quest just got harder," he groaned.
The world fades.
Only for Decade to appear. "I think it's time we tell them everything up to this point."
"I concur. You may as well bring the final person," the Curator replied.
That's right! This chapter was all original and has the plot moving. The next chapter is going to be a brief interlude, like really brief, and then some comedy to take the levity off of the fact that I spent a few hours doing this and all the action aha. Leave a review.
