Chapter 10

Sitting beside his brother like friend, Jaune had just simply stared at the bandages wrapped around Zecromac's body as he just laid there in thought, letting the information of his show down with the White Fang sinking in, with Jaune rubbing his eyes at how drunk he must've been to start a fight with the bitch that hurt the Fall Maiden who he was told just now to protect.

The night before

Downing another drink at the bar with Junior wiping his forehead of sweat at moving in overdrive the fact Roman was cheering him on with the few visitors of the club cheering even louder as he downed the drink, letting out a yell of victory as he dropped the bottle into the bag of trash he was given, standing up he began to make his way to the stage, feeling a little need to sing a good classic.

Punching a speaker the music changed to a fast paced rhythm, with Zecromac nodding to the music before he sang.

"She's got no soul, heart black as coal

She's from Hollywood Forever, dug her out of a hole

And here we go again, spinnin' me in her web

She said "there's just no rest for the queen of the dead"

There's just no rest for the queen of the dead

There's just no rest for the queen...

Another trick to treat her with candy apple dreams

Gonna rot her teeth cause I'm so sweet

One lick to rule them all

They crumble as they crawl"

Raising a mic with a yell while letting out a laugh he sang once more.

"She loves me cause I like to give head like a zombie

Eat, eat, EAT till her insides are on me

She loves me cause I give head like a zombie

Eat, eat, eat, and nobody's gonna stop me

And in the glow of the pale moonlight

She goes for a spin on my haunted hayride

Tried out the living but I don't believe the hype

Cause if she's got a pulse then she's not my type

Yeah, if she's got a pulse then she's not my type, yeah

If she's got a pulse then she's not my type, yeah

If she's got a pulse, if she's got a pulse"

Letting out a growl of joy at getting his voice going he lifted the mic once more.

"She's got a temper in stock, made of hemlock

Uses absinthe as a lip gloss

Death hawk, fresh New Rock's

She'll use your corpse as a catwalk

She'll use your corpse as a catwalk

She'll use your corpse"

Headbanging for a thrill of adrenaline he went on

"She loves me cause I like to give head like a zombie

Eat, eat, eat till her insides are on me

She loves me cause I give head like a zombie

Eat, eat, eat, and nobody's gonna stop me

And in the glow of the pale moonlight

She goes for a spin on my haunted hayride

Tried out the living but I don't believe the hype

Cause if she's got a pulse then she's not my type

If she's got a pulse then she's not my type

She'll use your corpse as a catwalk

Plays truth or dare in the mirror

Uses absinthe as a lip gloss

Undead, but won't shed a tear

She's my graveyard baby

She's my..."

"She loves me cause I like to give head like a zombie

Eat, eat, eat till her insides are on me

She loves me cause I give head like a zombie

Eat, eat, eat, and nobody's gonna stop me

And in the glow of the pale moonlight

She goes for a spin on my haunted hayride

Tried out the living but I don't believe the hype

Cause if she's got a pulse then she's not my type

If she's got a pulse then she's not my type"

"D-E-A-D

If she's got a pulse then she's not my..."

Dropping the mic with a cheer of a good Song Zecromac went to jump onto the crowd before the doors to the club blew open to show White Fang goons running in with weapons, making Junior look in shock as Zecromac held two revolvers, firing they scored a head shot with each shot before he was impaled by a sword, making him turn with a spin kick with enough force to break the neck on impact, turning to the stunned Faunus he grinned savagely as he rushed at their fleeing forms.

Leaping out the doors to plunge a hand through a chest, turning to the right Zecromac saw cinder Fall and her two followers turning to him in alarm, making them run as Zecromac tore his hand out of his victim, a savage grin growing with malicious intent as he followed, following the trio around a corner he saw Cinder surrounded by members of the White Fang with swords and the occasional firearms, making the deity grin widely as his eyes glowed before he rushed towards the Terrorists with a happy cheer.

Current time

Rubbing his temple to ease the growing headache as Zecromac smiled at the memory of his singing before he looked to the door.

Where Ozpin stood with an unamused look in his eyes.

"Exactly how long were you holding back your violent outbursts old friend?" the Headmaster questioned with Jaune blinking in shock.

With team RWBY and JNPR

Silence was the only thing present in the room as both team RWBY and JNPR, Emerald was sitting down in worry as the television showed a news report of last nights incident with the event called a slaughter house with a picture of a blood covered Zecromac looking like he was laughing while a White Fang member was struggling in his right hands grip, with the screen being replaced by a horrified Lisa lavender.

Making Weiss stand up

"Okay, it's official, we have a deranged psychopath in our school and no ones calling the authorities!" Weiss declared with a look of fear in her eyes as she stood before the two teams.

"For once I kind of agree" Yang said with a shrug as the news report continued further about past incidents, one being an entire town being…

"Wait, He protected an entire town from a horde of Grimm" hearing this the two teams turned to the Tv to see a sheepish Zecromac beside a proudly smiling Jaune when he was younger, the man looking pleasant for once in a photo.

Looking to the two they saw how Jaune looked so innocent even in the presence of the psycho.

Making Weiss frown in confusion.

"How can someone that noble be just as evil as the Grimm" Blake said before they felt the room slightly heat up, like they were near a bonfire.

"It is because he, for a short time, had lost his humanity through torture" turning to the voice, they saw a Samurai standing at a group photo of team JNPR on the wall, with Jaune holding Emerald with a smile, with the ghostly apparition of Zecromac in the distance photobombing.

Seeing his hair a fiery mane, the man turned to show copper coloured eyes staring at them, moving to an empty chair he sat down with his Katana becoming a Cane through embers, leaning forward with his hands interlocking he had a sad smile.

"What do you mean torture?" Ren questioned.

"To tell you this, I will have to explain as to why my brother chose Jaune to teach…" the man said with both teams paying full attention.

"When Jaune was younger, he was diagnosed with Osteogenesis imperfecta, leaving his bones near brittle, but the drive to be great drove the boy on, and it was this attribute that my brother saw within Jaune as he was growing up, so he did the best thing he could think of… he gave a portion of his power to the boy, a power that recued himself from a similar fate" the man said as he looked to Emerald with a knowing look as she remained silent.

"Wait…" looking to Weiss, the entire group looked to her.

"What do you mean by gave a portion?" Weiss said with the man smiling as he stood up, tapping his cane on the ground it stood still like it was built into the ground before it blew up into a portal like doorway.

"It would be best you understood his past" the man said as the portal swirled violently like a whirlpool.

"In the beginning, he was a king of a proud people, he participated in every war that threatened his people, and each battle he stood in triumph with his men behind him cheering" an image appeared on the portal that showed a dark golden sky with the outline of a man standing above men cheering him.

"His life was full of honor and peace, his wife and daughter helped keep him from falling to greed… until they were taken from him" the image then morphed into a dark trench with men, women… and children chained to the jagged walls in agony, with Nora and Ruby gasping as two people, a woman and girl with their faces shown in white among the black of their silhouettes.

Followed by faces of agony screaming as a being shrouded by a blood red cloak with a sinister smile showing.

"He was tricked into abandoning his kingdom to free them, but they were merely a lure"

With this the images became a man chained with many wounds bleeding heavily due to the spiked chains holding him down.

Ending the scene with the being screaming into the air.

"What does this have to do with Zecromac?" Weiss questioned with the man giving her a saddened look.

"He was the king" looking to the owner of the voice, everyone stared at Nora who had a sympathetic look, unlike her usual self.

"Yes, he was forced to watch his wife and daughter… die before him before his endless torture, which is the reason why he has that cow iron scar on his chest, a sign that… he is cursed"

"In his ongoing days of being tortured, his mind began to break, grieving the loss of his wife, his daughter… his freedom, his mind finally broke when he was freed, instead of taking the opportunity to leave, he turned back, entered his prison… and tore apart everyone." The man said as the image changed to a silhouette surrounded by corpses, a wide familiar grin.

Lifting his cane from the ground the man had a saddened look.

"He's…been a broken man ever since that day" the man said with a saddened gaze before he steeled himself.

"He found his true power through his mind shattering, He is simply a ghost of himself" the man said before leaving through the door, literally walking through the timber.

Leaving the girls and boy in the room in silence.
