Hey guys! I'm back. I took a week off to rest myself. Days of insomnia plus my job was tiring me out. So I took a week to return. And return I have!
Ludens: Maybe. I won't do all movies like that.
Blake Tourdner: I was thinking...If we were gay or Dragonslayer.
The Black Wolf of the Arks: I never saw Campione but I'll have to look at that!
Dragongod54: No I don't think they will. Blake is happy with Sun.
IhateGenericCereal: Berserk is a sore spot for me haha, so that one is a maybe. Never played Xenoblade.
Man of Azure: Maybe. I was never good with horror.
Wind Dragon Master: Yes yes it is.
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
In a secluded area of the theatre.
"Neptune, what is wrong with you?" Weiss asked her boyfriend. She was tapping her foot on the tiled floor. Out of the corner of her eye she could see her friend down the hallway but don't approach.
"What do you mean snow angel?" Neptune asked, trying to play it cool.
"Do not call me that," she hissed. "Ever since you arrived, not only have you ogled every woman on the screen but everyone who came in through the damned door!"
"I have-"
"You even called that Grimm Queen sexy," Weiss growled. "We are dating Neptune. You shouldn't be looking at other women like that."
"And what's your excuse?" Neptune shot back. "You were ogling some Jaune's too!"
"I didn't do it as often as you! Maybe once or twice and I even kept it to myself. But you! You kept just saying things!" Weiss said. "Do you even want to be dating me?"
Neptune was quiet.
Weiss took a step back as if hurt. "I see..." she said deadly silent.
"Look Weiss I," Neptune tried to respond only to get slapped.
"I don't appreciate you playing with my feelings Vasilias," Weiss hissed. "Do not sit to me. Do not talk to me. If you so much as breathe within ten feet of me, I will stab your scrotum and then freeze it off." The white-haired girl turned and walked away.
Neptune grimaced, only to look up when he heard feet. The moment he did Yang grabbed him by the collar, and saw the rest of RWBY as well as one Winther Schnee glaring. "We may not be able to hurt you, but I suggest you step away from her for a bit," Yang threatened.
"I'll have Sun sit with you," Blake said coolly, but the fury was there.
"You won't know when but I will get you for this," Ruby said.
"I suggest Mr. Vasilias stay away for your sake," Winter agreed with Ruby. "Shall we go girls?" The team nodded before leaving. This left the wannabe all on his own.
A few minutes later everyone found themselves in the seats. Neptune regulated himself to the back, Sun joining him for the time being. The screen turns on.
Weiss Schnee was not having a good day.
"Seems like I'm not the only one that's having a shitty day," Weiss said, her eyes a bit red. Ruby hugged her and Winter, who had sat with her this time, held her hand.
Not only was her father being an ass, as usual, Whitely had leaked to the press that the singer was out and about on her own.
"The burdens of fame," Pyrrha sighed. Weiss nodded.
Now while the heiress didn't mind the paparazzi, without bodyguards they tend to be too much. If she did anything to even remotely cause trouble, they would have a field day running her name through the mud.
"This is why I prefer to not be known," Raven replied. "Or infamous since I wouldn't have to care about my name." Several people nodded at that, fame was something that not a lot of them wanted, at least not to that extent.
So here she was, hiding in a park away from everyone else. Weiss sat down on a bench hidden from view. Having run from the people who were trying to get an interview from her or take pictures. Next to her was her Myrtenaster, just in case anything were to happen.
"At least she's prepared," Tai nodded.
"Better safe than sorry," Summer said. The two parents, or rather all the parents, saw how the young woman came back and knew something big had happened. Especially with Neptune sitting far away from everyone.
"I'm hungry," she groaned. Even though she was in Vale she still stood out like a thumb. White hair and white clothes, it was just so easy to point her out in the crowd.
"We need to get you clothes that are more casual," Yang teased, hoping to get her friend to cheer up a little. There was barely a response.
Coco and Velvet frowned. They understood what that was like, having been through their own breakups.
Which meant she wasn't able to eat when the heiress just wanted to walk about and rest prior to her concert. "I should have stayed at the hotel." She didn't want to call Klein and seem needy. "What I would do to get something to eat?"
"Did not plan out your day off well huh?" Mercury taunted earning the glare of all of RWBY, JNPR, and Winter. The man didn't care except looking forward once again.
Suddenly, she heard something land next to her.
Looking to her right, there was an odd owl perched on the bench looking at her. It was pure white with indigo eyes. On its head was a family crest. The oddest thing though was the crest was on fire...with indigo flames that wafted off of it like mist.
"What an interesting creature," Salem purred. That seemed like an odd beast. Despite it looking normal, it probably was more special than that.
The two had a staring contest before..."Hoot."
"AH!" Weiss shouted suddenly scared by the animal. "What the heck is this?"
That got a few chuckles. Even from Weiss.
As she said that, the owl tilted its head before it preened at her. As if...
"That's not possible, animals don't know how to speak to like a person." The heiress said to herself. "It is not mocking you, Weiss."
"Yes there's no way an animal can understand sentient beings like that," Winter nodded.
Ilia nodded as well. "I know you're not talking about Faunus but I agree there's no way an animal like that can-"
"Hoot." The owl nodded its head.
That made the people stop talking.
"You are mocking me?" The owl shook his head. "You're not mocking me." The owl shook its head.
"I feel like stabbing something," Weiss mumbled as she watched the animal mock her.
"Hoot." Weiss felt her right eye twitch. What was this? The way its eyes glistened, how its feathers were ruffled, how the bird seemed to be so proud of itself and holding itself up as if it was above her. It reminded her of other high-class Atlaseans she's had the displeasure of knowing.
"No wonder that owl seemed a little familiar," Winter frowned. Weiss nodded. The hate they had for their high society was very palpable at the moment.
"You just met me and you're already thinking you're better than me?" Weiss growled at this...this...bird! Why was she even arguing with it?
"Can we find that bird and keep it?" Nora asked eagerly. Weiss sent her a betrayed look. "Oh no, not like that Weiss! I want it to bother people who annoy us!" It took a moment before the heiress nods. They were being rather accommodating with her at the moment.
"Hoot!"The way it nodded its head to her question. The way its eyes glinted. It looked like it was smirking at her.
"Listen here, I have fought people much larger than you. I will skewer you if you think you are better than me!" she raged against the bird on her bench.
"Wow, Ice Queen Jr. is rather angry right now," Qrow whistled.
"Please be a little sensitive to the moment," Glynda said.
"Please, some people want to be treated normally after a breakup. I don't know the girl so why would I change?" he countered.
"At least learn some tact," Ironwood sighed rubbing his forehead.
As if to mock her even more, the owl puffed its chest. "Hoot." The bird vanished into an indigo mist before appearing on her shoulder, making her scream again. "Hoot."
"Did that owl just use a Semblance?" Penny asked in surprise. Everyone was also curious about that.
"Ah!" Weiss grabbed her sword and was about to attack when something interrupted them.
"Mukuro, what are you doing?" a male voice called out. Causing both human and owl to pause. They turned their heads towards a blonde with messy black hair, blue eyes and in rather tacky hoodie and jeans. "I know it's your day to be roaming, but you're not supposed to be terrorizing others."
"Jan!" Adrian clapped his hands.
"Yes it's your uncle," Saphron teased her baby. Terra sighed still happy with the image of her baby applauding her brother-in-law.
The owl hooted again, this time looking bashful. Weiss didn't understand how that was possible. It flew up and landed on his shoulder and nuzzle his neck. The blonde laughed and patted the owl's head. "Yeah I know you're sorry, but it's not me you should be apologizing to."
"He can understand it?" Salem was even more intrigued. "This one we need to take note of as well"
Weiss felt a little more than a bit vindicated when the owl turned to face her and bowed its head. It was trying to say I'm sorry, but she could definitely tell he didn't mean it.
"Yes..." Weiss grinned at the sight. That image just made her feel a little better.
"I'll accept it for now," Weiss said haughtily. She then once again turned to the blonde who was laughing. She blushed. "W-What?"
"It's just I haven't seen anyone try to argue with an owl before," he laughed. That made her blushed and looked away.
Weiss blushed as well. That did get a few laughs from others.
Neptune meanwhile frowned, not liking the world. But then again he was just angry he got dumped.
"Well, I'll have you know that I-" Weiss stopped talking as her stomach gurgled and she clutched it. The blonde looked concerned.
"Oh I forgot the girl was hungry," Kali said.
"Hey you alright there?" he asked walking over to her.
"I'm fine..." she said but her hurting stomach grew more painful. She was really hungry.
"You shouldn't be skipping meals sister," Winter chastises her sister calmly. Weiss blushed but she felt some of the weight on her be alleviated.
"Look, I'm not stupid. You're probably hungry. Come on, let's get food in you." The blonde grabbed her hand to try and lead her away but she dug her feet in.
"I can't. If people see me, paparazzi will take pictures," Weiss said.
"Yes please don't do anything stupid Jaune," Ruby begged her friend.
"Uh...why?" the blonde asked, looking very much confused. The owl on his shoulder nodded his head.
"Do...do you not know who I am?" Weiss asked in surprise. That was surprising. People would have at least known of the name Schnee and their telltale white hair.
"This conversation seems familiar," Weiss said looking at Pyrrha. The other famous girl blushed.
"Of course I do," the blonde said.
Everyone who would have been surprised if he didn't know someone from the Schnee Family.
"You're the girl that's hungry right before me. That's not good." Was...was this guy some kind of idiot?
Only to feel either amusement or disappoint at his response. "Little brother..." Saphron groaned.
"That is like him," Nora giggled.
"Yes but...I'm a celebrity of sort. I'd rather not go out there and have people find me like this. It would not only besmirch my name and then they will try to figure out who you are." Weiss replied. "I'd rather not get a random person involved."
Weiss nodded with her other self's words. That would not do well with what was happening.
The young man and the owl looked at each other. They seemed to have a silent conversation happen before the owl relented. "We can help with that," the blonde smirked.
"Oh? What is vomit boy's plan?" Yang asked intrigued.
"Why do you keep calling him that?" Velvet finally asked since Yang kept calling him that.
"Blame Ruby. That was the nickname she gave him after he threw up on my shoes." Her little sister blushed. Dang it. She was the one who named him that.
"What do you mean?" The young man grinned.
"Mukurou return." The owl flew up and then towards Jaune. A bright flash later Jaune had a new earring on his left ear. It was silver in the form of three small spikes and an indigo crystal in the middle.
"Did...he just turn the owl into jewelry?" Coco asked very much intrigued.
"Looks a little tacky," Roman said. "But that jewel looks really good though. How much do you think it costs?"
"It is a family heirloom, it is priceless," the Curator replied. Now that made the thieves in the room more curious as to how much it would cost.
"Now hold still." Holding his hand out, Weiss found herself covered in the indigo mist. After a brief second, her clothes had changed to look like clothes the non-rich of Atlas would wear. A blue mini skirt was worn of black leggings and sneakers, while a red hoodie was over a black shirt. What was more surprising though was her hair. Gone was the snow-white hair, and in its was one black as coal.
"That...that is similar to what you can do," Roman poked his partner.
"Yeah, that was slick," Neo nodded her head.
"Was that your Semblance?" she asked as she inspected herself. The clothing felt so real.
"Kinda? It is...complicated," the boy shrugged. "By the way, those aren't real clothes. They are what one of my mentors calls Solid Illusions. As long as I focus on that, the illusion becomes reality. Hence why your clothes have technically changed as did your hair." She opened her mouth. "No I did not change your underwear. That would be hard since I have to...ahem...imagine it."
That made Weiss blush, while Neo and Emerald were surprised. He can make his illusions real? They would kill to have that ability. To make an illusion and then make it real would be a godsend on missions.
That caused both teens to blush. "My name is-" the white girl introduced herself. As she was about to say her name when he put his hand up to stop her.
"No. You don't want people to know you right? So we shouldn't use your real name," the boy said. "My name is Jaune nice to meet you..." Jaune looked at her as if to think of something to change her name to as to not draw suspicion to her. "How about I call you Noire while in that disguise?"
"He seems smart in this world too," Ozpin noted.
"Also looking out for someone he just met," Ironwood nodded. "Seems like most of these versions of him have the heart of a hunter."
Weiss blinked and tested the name out before nodding. "Very well Jaune. It is nice to meet you, my name is Noire." Jaune laughed and offered his arm to her.
"Very well my lady, shall we go get you something to eat?" Weiss giggled and looped her arm around this man.
"I feel like this thing is punishing me for some reason," Neptune said.
"Someone might be," Sun replied.
(Time skip)
"This tastes good," Weiss replied as they sat outside of fancy green and grey store, some placed called Malt Maison. In front of them, was two plates of food. Jaune's had some flavored fries, a double cheeseburger with bacon and a side of peanut sauce that he placed onto it that made Weiss gag for a moment.
"Is that any good?" Ruby asked. A lot of others didn't know what to think of it.
"Oh! It's like satay turned into a burger," Kali perked up. "I should try to make that!"
For herself, she had a Portobello Mushroom Burger with light sauce. Her fries were truffle fries and she had some malt vinegar to dip it in. That one made him gag. But she was happily eating her food right now.
"Why would you do that to a fry!?" Yang asked looking at Weiss with a horrified face.
"I'll have you know it's not that bad," Weiss rolled her eyes. She took a breath to calm herself again.
What they each had was the chain's world-famous shake to drink. They both chose vanilla.
"Really? Just vanilla?" Blake wondered.
"Vanilla is good..." Weiss defended herself. Velvet behind her nodded.
"It might be a chain but they are high quality," Jaune said pouring the peanut sauce onto his burger and taking a bite. Weiss made a face.
"Would you stop doing that?" she said as she dipped her fry in the malt.
"Only if you do that. You're ruining the fry." The two gave each other a glare before Weiss giggled and he laughed.
"See he agrees with me!" Yang shouted.
"Honey please," Tai groaned.
"But that sounds so disgusting!"
"It looks like..." Ruby stopped speaking. She didn't want to say what she thought. Especially not after what happened with Neptune.
"They look like they're on a date," she thought to herself.
"I haven't been this relaxed in months," Weiss told her new associate. He didn't seem to know or care who she was. And while that would have originally irked her, this was refreshing.
"I bet. To get away from my hectic world would be great sometimes," Weiss said.
"Really? I won't ask why but I'm happy I could have been some help, Noire," Jaune grinned. The smile on her face fell a little.
Oh right. He was calling her that. It didn't feel right. She wanted to be called by her real name.
"Does she not like that?" Penny asked.
"Penny you have to learn when a girl wants to be noticed, she wants to be seen. Even if it's a disguise I'm sure that Weiss wants to be seen as herself," Coco replied.
"What about you Jaune, what are you doing here in Vale?" she asked taking another bite of her burger.
"Well, my family is here on a business meeting," he made a face at that. "And while it's fun to see other people I would rather not be stuck in that meeting place for a long time. So I walked out...which means my family's associates are looking for me haha."
"Did...did he just run away from something important?" Glynda asked incredulously.
"You mean you ran away from something like that?" Weiss asked incredulously.
"Seems like those two are in the same mindset," Qrow chuckled.
"Yeah. My grandfather, who is the one going to the meeting, wants me to inherit our family business. I'd rather not. I want to become a hunter." The white-haired girl felt her heart stop for a moment. That was oddly similar to her own situation, but unlike her friend, Weiss wanted to inherit the family business.
"Oh my," Pyrrha gasped. She didn't see this turn of events.
"Why...why are we being shown this?" Weiss asked the Curator.
"I was not the one who chose this," he replied.
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked.
"Weiss's raging emotions affected the strip. The worlds changed because of it." The Curator said. "With your high emotions, the theater is trying to console you. This is a world that your heart wanted to see." The heiress blinked unsure what that meant.
"Why do you not want it?" she asked curiously.
"I'm barely seventeen years old, I only got my letter to Beacon recently and have my whole life to learn what I want. I don't want to be in a job I hate if I can find something else," Jaune replied. He frowned a little and made a fist. "Sadly, as much as I don't want to be my foot is already dipped into it."
"What is his family business here?" Ruby asked.
"That will be answered," the Curator replied.
He shook his head. "Sorry, I'd rather not bother you with that sort of talk." He took another bite.
"It's fine. Family...family is something that haunts both of us huh?" Weiss didn't elaborate when Jaune nods. The two quickly change topics to get away from that darker mood.
"Yeah! Don't bring down the mood!" Summer said nodding. Even she appreciates a nice date.
(Time skip)
Weiss found herself smiling as the duo walked. She had found out that Jaune didn't only have that annoying owl as part of his Semblance. He had summoned someone she had more fun with! Take that you stupid owl!
"You really didn't like that owl huh?" Ren asked Weiss.
"It was bothersome, so I understand my other's pain," she replied.
It was a cute dog with grey fir over white. On its left shoulder was armor that went over its chest with a family crest on it. It made a few barks and licked her hand. She was instantly smitten, even with the blue flames coming out of its armor. There was also a swallow resting on her shoulder. These were Jirou and Kojirou respectively. They had appeared from a necklace he had.
"So cute..." Weiss said, her pain momentarily forgotten. Ruby and Yang agreed. While not as cute as Zwei, Jirou was a cute dog. Blake thought the same but of the swallow.
However their introduction made Salem, and this time Ozpin, even more curious. What are these things that this version of Jaune has?
"Who's a good boy? You are!" Weiss said as she patted the dog's head. They were heading towards her destination, the Vale Stadium so she can hold her concert. She hasn't said that to him yet, namely because he'd be keeping her identity from himself. He even assumed that she was going to the stadium in order to watch the Weiss Schnee.
Oh, the irony.
"There's a level of stupidity that's acceptable and he seems to have passed it," Cinder said. Pyrrha glared at her.
As they were walking, Jaune suddenly grabbed her. Pulling her against him, Weiss blushed. "J-Jaune?" she stutters. Why was she suddenly nervous?
"Oh my," Penny gasped.
Weiss rolled her eyes. She knew it was a simple infatuation on her counterpart's end.
"Please be quiet," he said. They were walking through a less used district within Vale. It was a quiet area and they were in an alley.
"That is... a risque image," Winter said as she stared at the image.
His left hand was on her waist and other to his lips. Jaune's blue eyes were so intense and it made her gasp. "W-What are you?"
"Please, I need you to be quiet for a second." He peaked out of the alley and frowned. Weiss mimicked as best as she could and paused.
"Oh thank goodness," Weiss sighed in relief. She did not need to see that. But it slightly warmed her cheeks.
There was a bunch of White Fang getting into a car with weapons. "I count at least 10 of them," Jaune said.
"They are probably going to attack the stadium," Weiss guessed. She was here after all and that was all the excuse they needed.
"That sounds like a believable plan," Blake frowned. Ilia nodded.
"But why so little? With something like that it would be more of an assassination. Probably with the soldiers as distractions," the White Fang member said.
"I'm calling the cops," Jaune said as Jirou and Kojirou vanished. He took his hand off of Weiss and took his Scroll out. Dialing the number he started to talk quietly.
"That is the proper response," Ozpin nodded. "You guys aren't in Beacon yet so let the cops handle it." The students all gagged at that. They wanted to fight people after all! Stop bad guys.
Meanwhile, Weiss looked at the boy who had helped her relax today as well as the van that was about to leave. If she didn't do anything those terrorists would attack that stadium.
But if she attacked now this person she just met could get hurt.
"Decisions, decisions," Cinder taunted.
"This is why being a hero sucks," Emerald grinned. Mercury just nodded. The hunters glared at them.
Making up her mind, she turned toward him who was still on the phone before running towards the van.
"That was foolish," Raven rolled her eyes.
"Wait!" Jaune shouted but he couldn't hang up, especially since the call was almost over.
When she got out of range for him her clothes and looks turned back to normal. Drawing Myrtenaster, she used a glyph with some freeze Dust to freeze the van in place.
"Oh boy here we go," Summer said, leaning forward. This was going to be an interesting sight.
The White Fang goons walked out, eight of them. However, two more stepped out, one in heavy armor with a chainsaw and another a woman from the looks of things with long black hair. They seemed to tense as they saw her before the man grinned.
"Oh...this was still when I was part of them," Blake blushed. Her mother and father looked at her with some worry.
"Well," the armored Faunus grinned. "That actually saves me time from looking for you." The others pointed their guns at her. "It means we have less people to deal with, but I would have loved to just massacre all of them." A lot of the goons laughed, save for the girl in the back.
"Monsters," Winter spat. Others frowned, especially those who disliked what the White fang was currently doing. "Killing innocent lives."
"That was why I left, I can't understand why the people would do that," Blake said. Ilia frowned. Her mindset established by her parents blamed all humans regardless of their intent.
"Surrender yourselves," Weiss said to them. She knew that she was in a bad situation. "Then I won't have to hurt you. Please come quietly."
"Come quietly?" the lieutenant laughed. "There's one of you and ten of us. We can easily take you down."
"Oh he's going to eat those words," Weiss frowned. She knew she was better than most of the fodder. But with an officer and Blake. This was going to be hard.
Weiss easily moved her weapon and froze the eight goons in place, all the way to their neck. It was only the Lieutenant and the Cat that managed to jump away. Both Faunus rushed her, the Lieutenant revving his chainsaw from the right while the Cat came from the left with her a cleaver like a short sword.
"Finally! Some action!" Mercury cheered.
"I'm sorry about this," Blake apologized to Weiss.
"It's not you. Besides, how do you know you'll win?" the heiress grinned.
Weiss blocked the blade and had to duck out of the way of the chainsaw. The Cat Faunus kicked her in the face and she barely had time to get a Glyph up to speed her away. The mechanical blade hit down into the ground destroying it.
"You work well with the Lieutenant," Ilia replied. "Did you get along with him?"
"No. He was an ass," Blake replied. Kali and Ghira nods, not ever liking that boy.
The Cat mecha-shifted into a gun and shot at her. With the man charging her, the heiress didn't have time to dodge. This was going to hurt.
She then heard some feet padding on the floor and something landed in front of her. It was a tiny yellow lion, with a silver cap with the family logo on it and armor on its front paws. What was crazy was its entire mane was an orange flame.
"Another one!?" Penny gasped. The girls found the tiny lion cute.
"Gao!" he 'roared.'
"Ren change of plans! I want that one!" Nora shouted.
"We'll have to ask about that," Ren replied kissing her cheek.
Suddenly the man froze in place and the dust rounds froze in the air before getting destroyed. Jaune also leaped from the side and smashed his fist into the Lieutenant's face, forcing him back. The Cat Faunus froze upon seeing the blonde.
"Oh, what's this?" Kali asked surprised.
"She must know him somehow," Ghira replied.
"Jaune?" Weiss asked.
"You should have waited," he said. "Now we have to do this the hard way." She then saw on his hands were red metallic gloves with orange flames. Over the back of the hand was a blue jewel, with an orange cross over it with the name Vongola Famiglia. On his right hand were two rings attached to a chain. What's even more surprising was his eyes were now orange instead of blue, and has an orange flame was on his forehead. It matched the tiny lion's.
"What is that?" Ozpin asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
"That is Jaune's Hyper Dying Will Mode," the Curator replied. That got the attention of everyone. "It's when Jaune's...aura so to speak, releases the limits within himself. Within his mind, everything is freed up and his ability to fight is increased because he becomes calm."
"Does he get stronger?" Yang wondered since that looked similar to her Semblance.
"That's the normal Dying Will Mode when all his physical limiters are removed. He's not stronger but he can use those flames to enhance his physical abilities."
"He looks like a maiden..." Salem whispered.
"He is not though. This is a power independent of that." That caught Cinder's attention and made her smirk. So if she can become a Maiden and then somehow go Hyper Dying Will Mode, she would be unstoppable.
"Who the fuck are you?" the Lieutenant growled.
"Jaune Arc," he replied. "I'm just passing through." The boy said. Turning to the lion, he nodded his head. "Nuts, help out our friend."
"That's a cute name!" Ruby cooed at the lion.
"Gao!" the little lion growled before hopping up and landing on her shoulder, surprising her.
"Do you think you can handle the Cat, Weiss?" Jaune asked. That surprised her for a moment before she nodded. "Good, let's do this."
"Seems like Hyper Dying Will Mode would be helpful to leaders," Ironwood said.
"Actually anyone can use it, but only those within his family gain the ability that Jaune has, Hyper Intuition, which lets him see the truth and only really powerful illusions can trick it."
"Back up won't make that much a difference!" The Lieutenant shouted as he attacked. Jaune rushed forward and started to fight against him. The blonde was easily able to dodge out of attacks, with just the smallest amount of space, like right before he could hit, Jaune would dodge and counter.
Like right now, he managed to dodge a chainsaw. He ducked under it and his hands were aimed at the floor. Flames erupted from the gloves and he flew up letting him do a bicycle kick the man to the face.
"That's amazing," Pyrrha said clapping for her crush and leader.
Using the flames he flew and spun in the air and delivered a second kick, one hard enough to crack the mask and push him back.
"Nice!" Nora cheered and put a hand up to Penny. The former robot took a moment before she high fived the girl.
"Stop flitting about you dirty human!" the man shouted. However, Jaune kept quiet, easily parrying the attacks with the metallic glove. A flame enhanced fist smashed into his face, as Jaune smashed his fist into it.
"He's...better than me at the moment," Weiss frowned. "I had fought this guy previously and he was able to overpower me. This Jaune is putting him in his place."
Off to the side, Weiss was having her own fight with the Cat. Their blades clashed and were fighting at a pace that that heiress felt was off. It was like...the Cat wasn't fighting to her fullest potential. In fact, they were just blocking. In fact the Cat was more distracted than anything.
"Being distracted is not good Blakey," Yang teased. Said Faunus rolled her eyes.
"If you don't focus I will defeat you," Weiss growled. She didn't like how this was going.
"I'm not here to hurt you," the Cat whispered. That caught Weiss off guard.
"See something was up," Ghira nodded.
"Must have something to do with Jaune," Taiyang agreed.
The two fought for a few moments. "What do you mean?" Weiss asked as they pretend fought. Nuts looked over to the frozen goons and gave a small roar. This seemed to keep petrifying them.
"Such a good kitty," Nora cooed. "I want it!"
"I'm part of the family. I am the boss's Cloud Guardian. I infiltrated the White Fang to dismantle them," the Cat Faunus said. To prove her point she even showed off her spiked bracelet from beneath her sleeve. It had a purple jewel...also with the words Vongola Famiglia written around the center.
"Say what now?" Ilia asked surprised.
"What the heck is a Cloud Guardian?" Blake asked.
"How come she has bling!?" Coco groaned. "Why is everyone getting jewelry from Jaune! I want some!"
"Why would you do that?" Weiss asked. The two kept mock fighting now, the little lion growling every so often, always looking at the eight frozen guards.
"See! The lion knows what to do!" Nora nodded her head. "A good guard!"
"Nora I understand but please stop for now," Pyrrha asked her friend.
"Because they are misleading group of people. I believe that they can be saved but...the people need to see the light. The boss...I believe the boss can do that." The two split and clashed once more.
"So you exchanged one group for another," Cinder taunted. "What a good little follower." When a cup went close to her face, Emerald slapped it out of the way. Surprisingly it was Kali who threw it.
"Seems like you have two little followers yourself bitch," Kali said with venom. Ghira dropped his jaw, as did Blake. They never heard her curse!
"You keep saying the boss, who is that?" Weiss asked confused. The Faunus stilled and jumped back.
"You aren't..." The Cat paused and then looked at something to the side before shaking their heads. "I see. Very well. It seems like their fight is almost finished." Weiss looked to wear the Cat was looking and saw that indeed it was.
"She thought Weiss was part of this "Vongola Famiglia" that Jaune is part of," Pyrrha said.
"Seems like whatever this is spans nations then given that he got to Blake somehow," Glynda said.
The Lieutenant was badly hurt, various burns on his body as well as bruises. He kept trying to hit Jaune who was literally flying around the man, hitting him with punches and some fire. The flames gathered around Jaune's fist and started to swirl around like a storm as he slammed it into Lieutenant's gut having him careening into the van, even forcing the vehicle to tumble over a couple of times from the force of the blow.
"Whoo! I want to fight him!" Yang shouted. "It's like an inversion of me! Mama wants to test her abilities!"
She wasn't the only ones. A few people wanted to see how they dealt against this version of Jaune since it seemed like he was at least on their level, unlike the Saiyan one who was too strong and the photographer one who was a civilian.
"That takes care of that," he said. Sirens can be heard and everyone paused, well except the one that unconscious and those frozen in place because of the tiny roaring lion. The Cat turned her head towards Jaune who gave her a subtle nod.
"Teammates," Blake nodded. Seems like they had prior experience with one another.
The Cat threw a pellet down and smoke filled everyone's senses before she had vanished.
The flames vanish from Jaune's forehead and the lion hopped off of Weiss's shoulder and towards his leg. The lion nuzzled his leg before it vanished into his rings. Jaune's gloves also became normal gloves.
"How did that happen!?" Ruby asked. "Where? How? What made his gloves turn into gauntlets!?"
"Magic," Salem silently uttered. This version had a minor form of magic. That would explain the pets.
"How did you do that?" Weiss asked.
"Did you really forget that I said I got my Beacon acceptance letter." Weiss blinked before blushing. She did forget in the heat of the moment.
"Oh right," Pyrrha blushed. She and the others had forgotten that too.
"You should get out of here Weiss. If the cops arrive and have to question your last concert would be delayed. I'm sure you don't want to disappoint your fans."
"Ah, such a knight isn't he?" Saphron grinned.
"White Knight," Terra grinned. "Sounds like a good name for that little duo doesn't it?"
"You knew who I was?" Weiss asked.
"Not really haha. However the more we walked and the more posters I saw, I sort of put two and two together." Jaune gave her a sheepish grin. The young woman was deadpan before rolling her eyes.
"Of course," Weiss rolled her eyes as well. That meant the boy helped her out of the kindness of his heart.
"Dork," she sighed softly. "And...I think you are right. I thank you. This will keep me out of the sight of the public for a while later." The white-haired girl was about to leave before she turned and kissed his cheek.
"WOOO!" Terra yelled. Saphron pulled her down and gave Weiss an apologetic smile. Weiss meanwhile flinched at seeing the kiss. This was too soon, for numerous reasons. However...it was a nice look.
The blonde was frozen there blushing. "Thank you for the day off," she then ran off.
Jaune touched his cheek and blushed even more just as the cops arrived. "Oh..."
"Aw...the dork knight liked it!" Neo giggled.
A few hours later, Jaune was dressed in a three-piece suit. Beneath the black suit jacket was a burnt orange shirt. After answering the cops and leaving the station, his family had sent a car to pick him up. It was time for him to come home.
"So we get to see what is happening on his side of the story," Ozpin hummed.
"You were cutting it close today Blake," Jaune said to the woman before him. The cat Faunus was also dressed in a suit with a skirt. She had on a purple blouse. Her deft fingers were tying his tie and she nodded.
"What's this?" Sun asked. "So they are working together."
"Can he really not tie a tie?" Ruby asked her crush's sister.
"Oh no, he can. It seems this is a difference in that world," Saphron answered.
"I know, I didn't expect to run into you," she said. Blake gave him a playful grin."I was handling it well until you and the Schnee arrived. Enjoy your date?"
"Oh, catty," Yang grinned. She felt something wet hit the back of her head. "NOT THE HAIR!" she shouted as she saw grape soda dripping from her face. Blake grinned.
"First it wasn't a date. I was just helping her out. Sorry. I was hoping to not interrupt your mission but it seemed like fate was against us." Blake finished tying his tie and he smiled at her. "Thank you."
"Think nothing of it boss," Blake replied with a small smile. "Shall we go? The others are already waiting."
"So am I his right-hand man or something?" Blake asked.
"Actually his left hand," the Curator replied. "One of his best agents and closest friends." That made her blink in surprise before smiling.
Jaune nodded and left the room with Blake in tow. Walking through the halls of the mansion they were in, he opened two double doors. As soon as he did, dozens of people bowed down as he walked. He walked passed them before getting to a slightly raised platform to a small throne.
On the left side, standing was Ren, dressed with a suit and a blue shirt. The sapphire necklace Jaune was wearing earlier around his neck. A title appears beneath him. [Vongola Rain Guardian: Lie Rien]
"Rain Guardian?" Ren asked.
Blake joined him on that side, right next to the throne. The ornate bracelet being shown to all. [Vongola Cloud Guardian: Blake Belladonna]
"There it is again, what do those mean?" Blake asked.
On the right was Nora with a suit and a green blouse. In her arms was a black metal helmet with an emerald on the forehead. [Vongola Thunder Guardian: Nora Valkyrie]
"Fits," Nora grins.
Jaune slowly sat down on the throne and sighed.
A title appears on screen. [Vongola Decimo: Jaune Arc, Boss of the Sky. The Tenth Boss of the Vongola Mafia Family.]
"No...is Jaune a bad guy in this?" Ruby asked.
"Nope! He's a good guy," the Curator replied. "Their mafia family actually regulates every other family to keep them in line. They are the strongest around."
Oh...Roman may have to find them for some cover after this shit goes south. Raven meanwhile frowned, this was another obstacle. Ozpin, Ironwood, and Salem found them as a threat as well.
"So I'm still missing three Guardians," Jaune smirked. "I'd like you all to help me find good candidates."
"Guardians are basically Jaune's lieutenants," the Curator replied. "Those who he trusts the most and would all help him out. Each having a role to play."
"And the Rain, Cloud, and Thunder part?" Nora asked.
"The jobs you have. I'll tell you what they are if we visit this world again," he answered.
"Yes, boss!" The entire family shouted.
The screen fades.
"That was an interesting world," Salem said. "Those beasts are more than enough to keep me entertained."
"Agreed. Something about them was so cute!" Ruby replied, not knowing that the Grimm Queen meant something else.
"It did keep my mind off of things," Weiss sighed.
"So what's the next world?" Summer asked.
The screen turned on.
The image showed Jaune on his knees. Hands over his head.
"You are nothing." A lot of people flinched at the harshness of the word. Purple cracks started to appear all over his body.
"What?" Ruby gasped.
"I don't understand why mom and dad even had you." Saphron was horrified upon hearing those words come from her own lips. More cracks appeared on his body.
"I'm sorry Jaune, but...I actually love Cardin. I never loved you." Pyrrha felt sick by those words. A lot of girls did. The cracks also engulfed him.
"Jaune, please stop talking to me." Ruby almost vomited. Why would she say that?
"You are hereby expelled." Ozpin frowned. The cracks reached his face and his eyes started to glow red, white bone appearing on his face.
"Oh, this is interesting," Salem grinned. "He is turning into a Grimm. Never thought I can do that to humans." That was made everyone feel unsafe.
A pair of wings appeared on his back, looking almost draconic. His human form almost breaking until a single image appeared in his mind.
"Jaune," Charles Arc, Jaune's grandfather, appeared in a memory. "Never lose hope, my child. In this world, it is only hope and will that can get us through the darkest of times. To inspire those in others is what a being a hunter means."
"Wise words," Ozpin nods.
Jaune gasped, his mind latching onto those words. He let out a roared. The wings covered him but the purple cracks receded. A golden light engulfed him and where he once was, stood a Humanoid Grimm. It had draconic features like his white mask and red wings, that folded in on himself like a coat. Beneath that was dark muscled body, with more red scales acting as pants and sleeves. However, his golden hair jutted out from behind the mask and his eyes remained blue. The wings spread and he flew towards the screen before vanishing.
On the ground, two people were watching. One was Arthur Watts who frowned. "Another failure," he said shaking his head.
But Salem grinned. No, not a failure. After all...that boy was oozing magic.
So that the next world is going to be a mix of two different things. Kamen Rider Wizard and Devil May Cry. I think I'm going to call this world...Dark Hope. If you haven't voted on the poll please do so now! I'll close it on Wednesday.
