Chapter 7

Sitting within the cafeteria of Beacon with his team, Jaune sat with both Emerald and Velvet on either side of him, the team plus one were joined by team RWBY with Weiss filing her finger nails while Yang was combing her hair with care, and Ruby rummaging through a toolbox with her insignia on it.

All in all… it was a normal Wednesday for the two teams, a normal day if not for Zecromac looking over Jaune's shoulder to see the perfectly sketches within of people Jaune knew, including himself.

"Is that the only sketch you've done of me or am I just too good looking one is enough?" Zecromac questioned with Jaune pausing in mid stroke of a pencil, looking up in thought Jaune went through his sketchbook, with a lone sketch of Emerald smiling genuinely gliding to Ruby who looked up from her toolbox, picking up the drawing she looked to Emerald as she spoke with Pyrrha, making Ruby hold up the sketch beside Emerald's head, looking to Jaune she saw his sketchbook in hand, showing two sketches of a scary man grinning widely, one with human lips while the other…

"Creepy" Ruby said with everyone turning to her in confusion, making them look to Jaune's sketchbook Ren spoke.

"Jaune… you draw?" looking up to his fellow male member of his team, Jaune took notice to his friends and girlfriend looking at him and his sketchbook, making him chuckle nervously while scratching his head.

"I have a hobby of drawing people I know, it started out when I was younger, I use to have a bad memory so a drew people with names as a reminder for later on" Jaune said as Zecromac lifted up through the table like a ghost, making a mock bow.

"Thanks to yours truly"

Ignoring the being before him, Jaune held it out to the others with Yang grabbing it with care, opening the front page her eyes had a look of astonishment before they focused at seeing a horrific show of violence and…. Erotic gothic scenes, looking up to Jaune with a blush she moved to the next page to blink at a sketch of Zecromac laughing with his mouth stretched beyond human levels with a tongue in the air.

"Jaune… you have, quite a mind" Yang said as she handed the sketchbook to Blake who held her nose at seeing women posing for a masterpiece if not for the eyes being dark and cracked.

"Blame my teacher for the influence" Jaune said with a shrug as Blake found a page of a sitting Zecromac beside a young Jaune, the being resting a reassuring hand a brother would give a younger sibling, especially the smile that looked more menacing due to lack of lips.

"Whose this guy, an imaginary friend?" Blake questioned as Weiss looked over to the book, making her stare at the man beside the young counterpart with Jaune chuckling nervously.

"That's… actually my teacher, the first drawing I did when we first met, think of it as a half photo album" it was this that made Weiss' eyes widen in alarm at the horrific man in the photo before she saw herself.

"Why am I in the book… smiling no less" Weiss said as she herself went through the pages until she came upon one where she was standing with her hands behind her back, smiling happily.

"I don't know, most of these just pop up in my head every so often"

"Even the exotic women?" Ren questioned as Jaune had a faint blush

"My teacher was a really semi-bad influence" Jaune said as Zecromac held his chest like he was shot, sinking into the table before he stood up behind Weiss and Yang, the two looking through the pages before they blushed at seeing Mrs Goodwitch smiling seductively.

"I'll say, does he make moves on hot school teachers?" Yang said as jaune looked up in thought, not one bit unnerved they found one of his many…. Private ideas.

"Well, there was that one time at Mistral where we met a white haired woman who wouldn't stop stabbing my teacher and cradling me like a prize, who was then rescued by said teacher, I think her name was winter" it was that moment, Weiss had her mouth held open in shock at Jaune, who sat beside Velvet as she smiled to a sketch of her, Jaune and Emerald sitting with big smiles, handing it back to Jaune Ren took it carefully with Nora skimming through the pages, it was when they found a shadow man with a skull face and red and blue eyes surrounded by many bodies in an alleyway that they spoke.

"What's this one suppose to be of?" Ren questioned as Nora looked through the pages, finally finding one of her and Ren with Pyrrha, Jaune and Emerald,the blonde looking to the alleyway sketch in thought.

"That one… was my first nightmare, something my teacher told me of what could have been if I was left to my own devices when my… skills awoke" Jaune said with a shiver going up his spine as he took back his sketchbook.

"So your teacher helped you control your powers, ultimately saving you from… becoming that?" Weiss questioned with Jaune shaking his head.

"He didn't prevent me from becoming it, he allowed that to happen, but it was when I was drunk on the power it was all taken away from me in the form of a small marble, which my teacher currently has in his possession… he told me that power can be both a blessing… and a curse, and it was my choice whether to take control or let it consume me, I chose to control it" Jaune said as he lifted his right hand with the fingers melting into his claws from the initiation, letting them grow into small elongated claws that he flexed them calmly.

"It has its benefits" Jaune said as his hand returned to norm, not noticing nearly all the cafeteria silent.

"Where's your teacher now…?" Ruby questioned with Jaune looking to the left, having a look of thought but in reality he was staring at a silent Zecromac who had a proud smile as he looked to Jaune, who smiled back he turned to Ruby he spoke.

"He's around at a moments notice" Jaune said before the teams and other students began to leave for class, leaving Zecromac in the empty Cafeteria he sat in silence before feeling the air ripple, making his eyes widen before narrowing in annoyance with a sigh.

"Great, this'll be a looooong headache"

Meanwhile

Standing at a small dock to the east of Vale, Roman Torchwick looked over the White Fang putting away the stolen dust crates in bullheads, a cigar in hand he sighed as Neo stood behind him, smiling at her scroll which showed a calender of a meet up scheduled, putting it away as Roman grunted in annoyance as he held his own scroll in hand. Looking to the video surveillance to show a fishermen at the docks… fishing, and it seemed he caught a good amount of fish.

"Perry we got some fisherman on the docks, can you be a good pal and see if he can leave… no witnesses" Roman said before hanging up hi scroll, sitting down on an employee couch Roman rubbed his eyes before looking to Neo as she poked his side.

"What is it?" Roman questioned before he was shown a graph of seismic activity in Remnant… and a very large one was approaching this current dock.

Eyes widening in panic he ran to the balcony overlooking the current heist.

"WE'VE GOT COMPANY!" Roman yelled before the entire dock began to shake, and not like continuous shaking, I meant shake pause, shake, pause, almost like footsteps.

Making Roman gulp as the giant footsteps grew close, it was when he got a call from Perry did he look to the calm Fisherman as the shaking stopped.

With said fisherman

Sitting on a stool with a bottle of beer to his left and a bucket of chum and fish with hooks, the elderly fishermen sat back as he held his rod towards the ocean, smiling at the night sky his attention was caught by his reel going crazy, grabbing the reeler the man tried to stop it before the thing shot out of his hands suddenly, making him frown before he heard a groan rising from the ocean below him, making him turn and bolt to the wire fencing, just as the pier he stood on began to rise up.

Making it to the fence he went to open it if not for something crashing against the cement foundation of the docks, turning his eyes widened as two giant arms made of stone broke the ocean surface, grabbing the cement they pulled up a head and torso, showing a Viking helmet with two horns on the side facing up with a curve.

Staring at the giant rising from the ocean it stepped onto the docks with a deep groan as it walked forward, ignoring a Bullhead rising up to shoot at it.

That is until the giant turned to it with a menacing growl, holding a hand out a round tower of stone shot up into its grip, lifting it from the ground, Roman's eyes widened to see it a hammer.

"Neo we need to go!" Roman yelled as the two moved to their Bullhead, the petite chasing after her boss, hearing a tired roar they made it outside of the building before a Bullhead crash landed by them, exploding into a cargo hold of Dust the two stumbled as a giant foot stomped just a mere ten feet from them, looking up the giant was slouched forward with the hammer resting on its shoulders, staring at the Bullhead it stood up straight to look around, its exposed mouth showing a line of thinking before it suddenly looked down to the duo, watching it kneel down the left over water falling from it in huge splashes.

"Am I in Remnant!?" the giant questioned with the crime boss stunned silent, Neo being the one to answer with an awed nod, making the giant grumbled in acknowledgement.

"Is this the city of Vale?" another nod was its answer as it stood up to leave the docks, leaving Roman, Neo and what remained of the White Fang under there control.

Perry walking up to them in stunned silence.

"That, could pose a problem" Roman said with a blink before he lifted his scroll up to take a picture of the stone giant to send to Cinder.

With said sexy villainess

Standing on the at walk of a warehouse the Maiden thief looked to her scroll to open it, rolling her eyes at seeing Roman's name she opened the message to see the stone giant.

Looking to the next message that popped up she was shone the sight of a crashed Bullhead with a giant handprint on the side.

"Hmm, interesting" Cinder Fall said with narrowed eyes.

Not noticing the news report on the television report of an increase of storms around Vale.

At Beacon

Sitting within the class of Glynda Goodwitch, Jaune couldn't help but let his eyes linger over the woman as she stood on the sidelines of a fight between Pyrrha and Sky from CRDL, the woman thrashing him with ease, it was when Glynda turned to the class did she see Jaune's eyes on her more then the fight, clearing her throat Jaune perked up with an awkward look.

"Mr Arc, if you are done admiring whatever it was that got your attention enough to forget the class I suggest you stop, I'll be having a word with you after class by the way" Goodwitch said with Jaune slamming his head on his desk with a groan as Zecromac sat beside him laughing softly while petting Jaune on the back, with Lie and Blake noticing the imprints appearing on his back, making Blake frown in worry before Jaune sat up with a sigh, watching Pyrrha send Sky out of the arena, making him clap for his partner as Emerald held a flag with Pyrrha's insignia on it with her emblem.

Watching the next few fights until the day with classes were done, Jaune was the only one left in the classroom with nothing but Zecromac for company as he walked on the walls in his own twisted train of thought, it was when the doors to the classroom opened to show Goodwitch with a cup of coffee in hand as she moved to her desk, sitting down she took her glasses off to rub her eyes.

"Mr Arc, you're a top student in my classroom, the first first year to get that title beside Ms Nikos, may I ask why you've been paying less attention?" Goodwitch questioned with Jaune avoiding eye contact while chuckling nervously.

"Uh, that is an answer that would make this awkward" Jaune said with Goodwitch having a look of mild annoyance, raising an eyebrow Jaune sighed.

"If it has something to do with your lingering eyes then I already know of your explorative mind" Goodwitch said with Jaune going dead silent, before smacking his head into the desk, making Zecromac laugh.

Making Goodwitch stand up and walk to Jaune's desk, leaning onto it with a stern gaze Jaune felt his cheeks redden as Goodwitch leaned forward.

"I may be lenient to you because of your excellent grades, I will not turn a blind eye to a student and his eyes" Goodwitch said, about to move back to her desk, but because of jaune's quick mouth he spoke on autopilot.

"It's gonna be hard to not admire your bod-" Jaune began before slapping his mouth shut, making Goodwitch turn to him with a raised brow, crossing her arms and lean on the desk in front of Jaune she looked to his notes as an after thought… before she caught sight of his sketch book, with a few sketches poking out… along with the one with her in it.

Reaching for the book Jaune froze as she held her drawing with a look of thought.

"Since when have you seen me smile, Mr Arc" Goodwitch questioned with jaune mentally cursing his friends for not packing it properly.

"Uh, well these things just pop up in m-"

"Especially a seductive smile no less" Goodwitch said with jaune chuckling nervously, staring into her bright green eyes he caught the sight of seriousness, maturity and… was that longing.

Putting the sketch down, Goodwitch sighed as she sagged, making Jaune tilt his head with a frown as she rubbed her forehead.

"It's bad enough I get men twice my age, but now students, curse you mother and this blessing that's a curse" Goodwitch said as she looked up to Jaune who had a look of question.

"I take after my mother's physical appearance, just not her fun loving attitude" Goodwitch said with Jaune nodding in understanding.

"I called one of my sisters mom if that makes it better" Jaune said with a suggestion with Glynda Goodwitch laughing softly with Jaune chuckling slightly as he ignored Zecromac's yelling of "Her MOTHER!" before looking back to Goodwitch who had a smile, making him blush at actually seeing it gracing her face.

"I'm gonna be cheesy and say you look way more attractive when you smile" Jaune said with a straight face, making Goodwitch clear her throat while adjusting her collar.

"Flattery isn't going to get you out of detention, Mr Arc" it was this moment Zecromac moved to control jaune's voice.

"Who said I wanted to get out" slamming a hand on his mouth Jaune's mentally threw a laughing Zecromac as he flew over the empty desks, making the two blush as they stared at each other, blinking Goodwitch had a more outwardly wanting look, smiling softly Jaune felt his mind go blank as she leaned forward towards him.

Making Zecromac watch with a raised eyebrow of shock as Glynda sent desks to the doors of the classroom as she enjoyed her current moment, it was an even bigger surprise as Jaune stood up and wrapped his arms around her, allowed to step forward as his desk joined the barricade.

Leaving Zecromac in silence as the two moved to the teachers desk, his left brow rising as Glynda's shirt came off with Jaune's shirt.

Making him stand up to leave for their privacy of… whatever illegal bullshit was happening.

Walking through the barricade and doors, Zecromac looked to the empty hallway with a frown, usually students were still going to their dormitories, narrowing his eyes as he stepped in the middle of the hallway his attention was caught by the soft rumbling of a thunder storm outside, making him groan as a being in silver samurai styled armor stood behind, a soft musical sound emanating from the figure as his helmet had a blank face.

"Can I be in one world where you all don't hunt me down to make sure I'm in check?" Zecromac questioned as he turned to the being who gave an off character shrug with the face smiling sheepishly.

"Well we have to keep you from causing a mass genocide"

"Hey, I've been well behaved for a while now thank you very much"

"Than explain the massacre in that one world with the vampires" the Samurai questioned with his arms crossed with Zecromac gesturing forward with a shrug before saying.

"I hate twilight" his response was the man before him smacking his face with a sigh.

"Anyway, want to explain to me why you walked out of that room like you just watched a school teacher secretly watched an adult rated movie in class?" the man said with Zecromac holding a hand up.

"One my host is in their and two… He's taking after my luck it is not even funny anymore" Zecromac said with the man shrugging.

"So what now, my brother dearest"

"I'm going for a walk in my physical state" Zecromac said as he began walking down the hallway, his body became shrouded by a thin layer of smoke before it faded, joining his side the samurai spoke.

"So how's Ozpin been since we've been gone"

"He's been managing"

Walking along the court yard, Teams RWBY and JNPR were walking with bags of precured foods for a team gathering, with jaune held up in detention they took it into their own hands.

With Emerald stopping at feeling a familiar aura with dread she took notice to the silence as the two teams stopped and turned to her in confusion.

"Oh oum" Emerald said quietly as Zecromac startled everyone as he stepped out from her shadow, wrapping an arm around her shoulders her look of dread was replaced by one of mild annoyance.

"Ello, long time no see Green jewel" Zecromac said with a greet before being thrown onto his back by an annoyed Emerald.

"What are you doing Zecromac?" Emerald questioned as she crossed her arms as team NPR and RWBY approached, team RWBY's eyes widening as Zecromac stood up while dusting himself off.

Playing along with a travelling teacher he shrugged.

"Just thought I'd visit my favoured student and his girlfriend, and this must be his team he told me about" Zecromac said as he turned to the teams, the looks of horror plastered on their faces due to his grin made it even more entertaining.

"Stop scaring the children brother" a voice behind team RWBY alerted them to a second being standing with his arms crossed, his face plate showing a raised eyebrow as Zecromac shrugged.

"Couldn't help it" Zecromac said as lips grew over his mouth, showing a handsome man as he sleeked his hair back with two strands falling between his eyes.

"So your this, teacher Jaune as told us of?" Pyrrha questioned with a strained smile as Zecromac crossed his arms as he tilted his head, his eyes similar to Jaune's glowing with a sadistic glee.

"Why yes I am, and I have to admit you three being able to put up with a Schnee is astonishing, especially me since the last one kept stabbing me through the head and chest to supposedly Save Jaune from my corruption" Zecromac said as his brother appeared behind him with a large cleaver over his shoulder.

"How does someone survive a wound to the head" Blake questioned with her head tilting in confusion.

"Simple-" Zecromac began before he was cleaved in two by his brother, making the teams scream.

"Like this" the man said as Zecromac's supposedly lifeless body moved back together before he rose to his feet like a puppet, shrugging his shoulders he punched his brother in the face.

"A little warning next time please Wakai" Zecromac said as the now named Wakai stood up with a chuckle, not even noticing the horrified looks from the two teams while Emerald sighed.

"And I thought we got a saner person" Emerald said with the two turning to her.

"That would be Fuyu and Oshanzu your thinking of, Terragon is just a silent genius" Zecromac said as Wakai added his two cents.

"Aeron is the most social though" Wakai said with Zecromac turning to him with a frown.

"Yes I know so is Oshanzu and Terragon"

"Then wat are we?"

"You're the adult child and I'm the blood thirsty lunatic with a hero complex" Zecromac said with Wakai nodding.

"CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?" Weiss yelled with the two hugging in fear before Zecromac held a shield in their defense, throwing Wakai to the ground
