AN: Remember kiddos, all suggestions are takin' and put into consideration. I'm one guy, but I'll do what I can when I can. And remember, I've got relatives (figuratively, since there are other authors with multiverse stories to check out), so check them out too.
Now someone asked if this was original content and yes, most of it is, but there are chapters belonging with other authors works, used with permission and it will say so on the chapter. Also, I've used some suggestions, so I can't take all the credit. Other people thought of this and I was like "Yeah, I'mma write out my interpretation right now since I'm feelin' it". That, or they were concurrent with my thoughts and that encouraged me even more.
Also, a string of people encouraging me to write a chapter of Jaune as Jiraiya. All three are guests, so a tiny part of me is a bit skeptical but at the same time, it could be three diffrent people, so I will tell you, when I can, when I'm feelin' it, I will. The same rules apply with everyone else's suggestions.
Also, read couer's latest chapter for his newest story concerning Jaune and time travel, and as you'll see, I wanted to pay a little homage to it, a specific scene really. Because it was awesome!
Anyway, enjoy. Big thanks to my beta The Unknown Plague! And Guikoi for the encouragement and inspiration of such a piece!
The lights came on and now in the room with our default viewers were Adam, Penny, Neo, Neptune and Sun, Ozpin, and... Sienna Khan?! Le gasp!
Everyone was shocked. Except Ozpin, cause death and rebirth really wasn't new or exciting for him. Honestly, he found her resurrection given the circumstances a bit bland.
She was in the same outfit she was in when she died except she had a halo above her head and tiny angel wings on her back. "What?! Where am I?! What is this devil magic?!" She yelled and looked around frantically until her eyes landed on Adam Taurus. "You!" She roared, pouncing on him and gabbing him by the throat.
Now, Adam was no slouch in hand to hand combat, but he had to stage a coup on Sienna for many reasons. One of them being her skill at taking down assailants of recognizable skill in close combat. Including people like him.
Acting out the usual nature of wild bulls and tigers, Sienna had Adam by his windpipe and was crushing it hard. The only real difference was the lack of fang usage. "Enough." DB told them. "Kill Adam on your own time Sienna, this is movie time."
"He killed me!" She roared, paying little mind to the other inhabitants of the room, including Blake's subtle cheering to finish him. "I literally have no better time than this."
"Sounds like a you problem." DB drawled. "Now get off!" He growled.
Sienna Khan wasn't a woman who would back off easily, but she knew better than to annoy what amounted to a god. She got off of him to take her seat, but gave him a powerful kick to the ribs for some satisfaction. She believed she heard a crack, so this wasn't totally a disappointment. "So what nonsense about this Arc man are we watching?" She grunted out.
"You know?" Blake asked her. Everyone else was curious as to how she knew too.
"This disembodied diety informed me of my purpose here before the teleportation." She answered. She saw Ruby raise her hand and she nodded to her. "What else is one your mind?"
"What's it like being dead?" She asked. That was a question that garnered both curiosity and slight fear.
She opened her mouth to speak but DB cut her off. "Ah, no, you all will figure that out when it's your time, not before." Everyone swore they heard him mumble about laws. "Anyway, enough idle banter. A majority of you remember the time I displayed Jaune and Neo as powerful Faunus right?"
Neo's eyebrow rose at the news. Why wasn't she here for that one? Then she shrugged it off.
"Tell me, have any of you played the game Monster Hunter World?" DB asked. "Probably not, so I took the liberty of giving Penny some files and-"
Penny perked up as her data banks surged with info on the subject. "Monster Hunter World, the latest generation in the Monster Hunter series by Cap-"
"Thank you." DB said, cutting her off there. "Rather than a full chapter devoted to one version, we'll see some snippets in a documentary style manner."
"A documentary." Ruby groaned in disappointment. She came here to watch movies about the universes, not learn.
"If they were about guns and swords you'd be all over it!" DB snapped a bit quickly before he took in a breath. "Just... here's the video."
The scene starts with an overhead shot of the planet Remnant. "Throughout the many alternate realities and timelines, many strange and powerful creatures lurk in the land of Remnant. Some strong, some ferocious, some gentle, many fascinating. From a relatively select few universes, the strange continent holds a natural form of wildlife known simply as monsters. And from them, a select species of faunus are made. Powerful faunus with powers bordering on supernatural."
"Intriguing." Adam muttered, taking a sip of his Heatap and ignoring Sienna's glare. Having a Heatap probably didn't help.
"Despite it being Adam, I agree." Blake had to admit, this type of stuff did hold her interest. Gives her a lot to think about regarding her people, their treatment, and etc.
Penny just liked learning and being involved.
Sun turned to Neptune and smirked. "So my dude's gonna a be another super cool version of us? Right on."
Neptune took this opportunity to tease his bro. "Yeah, and once again he may have better abs than you." He chuckled.
Sun gave him a serious glare. "Never again speak of such blasphemy. You know there's no such thing."
"You think he'll be as hot blodded as before?" Yang punned. Everyone who knew what she meant groaned and/or rolled their eyes.
"Hey, dosen't that guy speaking sound familiar?" Ruby asked, pretty sure she heard that guy before.
"Now that you mention it." Blake muttered, getting the same feeling.
Ozpin rose an eyebrow. 'You'd think they would remember.' He mentally sighed.
"Today, we'll take you into the lives of Jaune Arc, faunus of the New World." A title card appeard and beneath the title of the film read "Narrated by David Antenborough".
""Ooooohhh." The younger viewers said, remembering the famous narrator.
"Lets take a look a one of the monsters." The camera rushed down to the planet and ended up in an open field. A cow was grazing before something big and red snatched it from the air.
A wyvern from the looks of it, having wings instead of arms and legs with powerful talons. It was red with black markings with a dull tan underbelly and furious blue and orange eyes. The tail ended in a powerful stinger and its maw housed powerful flesh ripping teeth.
"This is the mighty Rathalos, king of the skies."
"That thing looks so cool! I wanna ride it!" Nora bounced up down excitedly at seeing such a a beast. It wasn't as cool as a sloth mind you, but still pretty awesome.
"I will admit, this wyvern certainly looks like a king. But can it truly back such a claim?" Sienna asked, more than ready to see such a title holder put to the test.
"Now, let's take a look at his relative." The scene changed and next we saw Jaune in his mostly usual outfit, save for it being sleeveless, walking down emerald forest, but without any weapons. And he had some changes. His skin had similar black markings, his eyes had a little orange in them, and he had talons. He also had a small stinger tail just like the Rathalos.
His most surprising feature were the foldable wings on his arms. They started at his pinkie and the wings ended by his elbows.
"A faunus with the capability of flight?" Sienna stared and pondered. "Not bad, not bad at all."
"Guess Jaune must've had a Red Bull." Yang joked, earning a glare from Adam. His annoyance wasn't necessarily towards her but more so the mentioning of Red Bull.
'I could've made so much money.' The bull faunus internally lamented.
He was whistling to himself as he walked with a confident purpose. "As an apex predator of the skies, Rathalos have little to fear. They are more than armed with the necessary skills to fend off would be attackers."
Out of the forest came a king taijito. It quickly made lunges at him as it surrounded him.
"Woah, hey!" He stumbled around goofily in an effort to dodge the strikes. He stumbled as he nearly tripped and was tossed in the air by lunge and toss combo.
Sienna scoffed. "Some king." She muttered distastefully.
Weiss shook her head. "The dunce, with immense power, is still a dunce." She groaned.
Pyrrha let out a nervous giggle. "Come on, this is Jaune. Given the situation and how its played out so far, he'll no doubt pull something off."
Weiss looked at her and she shook her head. "I know, but still." She groaned. Even in a universe where Jaune is freaking god, she could still picture him goofing up as usual. Even in times where he shouldn't such as this one.
The moment Jaune was tossed up in the air, his wings unfolded and he rebalanced himself. His attitude took a 360 and his eyes narrowed at the grimm. With a feral snarl, he descended towards his attacker.
"The Rathalos could be considered less than graceful upon the ground. But in the air, his power is on full display." Jaune flew around in a series of patterns, dodging the snake beast's weak lunges as he encircled it.
The white taijito head struck up first, but it missed. Jaune countered by gouging its right eye with his talons and throwing the white head into the lunging black one.
The black head tried to recover but the white one was twitching as purple foam leaked from its mouth.
"Is... is that grimm poisoned?" Sienna asked, disbelief in his voice. Grimm could be poisoned, but only by intense toxins could have an effect.
"It is." Ozpin and Penny confirmed simultaneously. Both with a rather nonchalant tone too.
"But how?" Ren asked. Jaune didn't have any weapons on him that could contain any toxin in it.
Neo nodded her head, giving this faunus species some credit. Toxic wasn't a bad option when it came to murder. Ultimately though, she, like Adam and Ozpin were hardly stuptified. Toxin strong enough to poison such grimm was impressive, but hardly new.
"Rathalos not only have strong limbs, but inside their talons were powerful toxins that ravage the brain of any victims whose bloodstream it got into."
Jaune hovered just above the black and as it tried to lift its head up, Jaune breathed out a small torrent of flame on its head, making it writhe in pain.
"They're also known for their superior fire power, able to rain down burning death from above." As David narrated, Jaune proceeded to pick up the taijito with his tail, impaling its midsection.
"What's up with Jaune and always breathing fire!" Yang shouted in exasperation. This was motivated by genuine curiosity and slight jealousy. 'Fire's my thing, dammit.'
"This boy breathing fire is frequent?" Sienna asked. 'If true, that's not a bad sign."
"Who cares about the fire, I wanna see Jaune - Jaune here to take this grimm to super suplex city!" Nora cheered, eagerly awaiting to see what her monstrously cool leader do to this beast.
"The bigger question is what's with this girl and wrestling?" Weiss muttered before sipping her lemonade.
Jaune flew high above the great trees, rising three times their height at a fast speed. "Hope you learn how to fly!" The faunus growled, a sneer forming on his face as the grimm weakly struggled.
"Rathalos, despite their lithe looking frame, are quite strong and well adapted to carry off prey of large size."
Jaune did a midair flip and tossed the taijito from his stinger tail. The grimm plummeted to the earth, knocking down trees and blasting up dirt as it made contact with the ground. It dispersed in black fog before it even really stopped crashing.
"Yes!" Nora cheered, accidentally knocking popcorn all over her two teammates.
Sienna shrugged. "I'll admit it, that was an exceptional display." Her eyes hardened a bit. "But I'd hardly call that kingly."
"Jaune's always been a fly guy, but seeing him kick ass like this is a breathe of fresh air." Neptune jested, earning some giggles and chuckles for his word play. Yang chuckled too but silently wondered what Neptune had that she didn't.
Jaune snorted with a smirk on his face. "One grimm down, more to go. Far as I'm concerned, this forest is mine." He flew off, most likely in search of more prey.
"Rathalos are rather territorial, but that isn't an uncommon trait among monsters. But this brings up the next topic of a far more threatening monster." The camera shifted a desert area. Nothing but sand. Until something burst forth in a violent spray of sediment and rock.
A monster with the Rathalos' similar body design, except sand colored. Its tail ended in a club axe, its wings were heavier and had claws meant more for digging. Its head was frilled, the maw having fierce tusk like teeth, but the scariest of all was its two majectic horns.
"The Diablos, tyrant of the sands."
"That is one angry lookin' bastard." Sun uttered, off put by that things looks.
"Rather impressive looking beast." Adam whispered to himself, admiring the horns on that one.
"Now, let's see another version of our dear boy." This time, Jaune had two horns on his head, his claws were a bit more blunt, and two fangs protruded from his mouth. His animalistic traits were sand colored just like the Diablos. He was sitting alone in the cafeteria, sitting a table away from team JNPR. On his plate were small cacti.
"Despite being herbivores, Diablos are be far one of the most territorial and highly aggresive monsters. No trespassers of their space are safe from their wrath."
"That thing is a herbivore?" Ruby asked in disbelief. From the looks of that monster, it seemed like a vicious carnivore.
Penny wasted no time in visiting the data banks. "Confirmed, friend Ruby, Diablos diet consists of tough plants such as cacti."
Blake gave the artificial girl a deadpan look with a light smile. "I think we could all infer that given what's on his tray, but thanks for the confirmation." Penny happily nodded in response. "But the question I'm wondering is, why is Jaune sitting alone?"
"Remember the part of highly territorial?" Sienna asked rhetorically. "Clearly he wants nothing to do with the others and it appears you're no exception when it comes to his space."
"No way, right guys?" Nora asked her team. They nodded, though understood that Sienna was most likely right. Even Nora understood that, but no one wanted to validate such a claim.
Pyrrha and Ruby felt a deep concern for this version of Jaune.
Meanwhile, Adam was subconsciencely measuring his horns up with Jaune's. 'Huh... whatever.' He internally grumbled.
"Hey freak!" Cardin Winchester yelled as he and his team walked up to Jaune, clearly looking to harass the young man. The arc growled, but kept to himself. Until Cardin and his team were a foot away from the table. He growled much louder and showed more teeth.
The room was filled with groans from the Beacon teams and the annoyed growls of the faunus present.
The other parties were simply interested in seeing how this played out.
"Did anyone just hear Jaune growl." Yang asked, looking at the screen with perplexion and feeling slightly put off. "Vomit Boy didn't do that when Cardin came."
"Ah, so he isn't a beta here." Sienna purred. "That's good to know."
"It wasn't that Jaune was a beta." Pyrrha argued back lightly. "He wasnt... as capable at the time and shy."
"As I said, no longer a beta." Sienna scoffed, paying no mind to his teams and RWBY's displeased looks.
"What, think you have the right to reserve a table, animal!" Cardin mocked. Cardin then put a hand on the table and Jaune Immediately got up, slamming a fist down hard enough to crack the the object.
Everyone in the cafeteria was watching them now. Sky and Russel flinched, Dove opened his eyes up a bit, and Cardin visibly shook but held it off. "You threatening us?" Cardin asked with a sneer.
"Warning." Jaune hissed, his voice a bit deeper than his original self.
"Bro." Sun said, crossing his arms and raising a brow. "Puberty his the voicebox hard or what."
"No kidding." Yang muttered in agreement.
"I like it." Sienna said, leaning back in her chair. "A powerful voice for a hopefully powerful male." She turned to see Neo making a hand gesture of agreement.
"A warning from a faunus, huh?" Cardin muttered, looking down at the floor. Instead of backing down, he moved with an unexpected and foolish motion, punching Jaune in the face. Jaune recoiled and his face looked sideways towards the floor. "You should know your place, animal." The bully said, glaring down at Jaune.
Jaune looked back at him and stared for a second. Then he truned his head back down to the floor again as he shook it, his hair covering his eyes. Cardin and his team smiled while NPR looked ready to intervene.
"Don't tell me he's about to cry." Sienna, a look of scorn crossing her. "If so, he-"
"YYYEEEAAAAARRRRGGH" Jaune lifted his head back up and unleashed an ear splitting roar, black smoke being puffed from his breath and his eyes looking more bloodshot.
Most of the viewers had to cover their ears from the blasting sound assualting their ears. If Jaune's roar was loud here, imagine what the people onscreen felt, especially CRDL.
"Gods on a gondola." Ozpin said blandly, sipping his coffee despite the slight discomfort in his head.
"Ow!" Yang groaned. "Guess Vomit Boy isn't very sound on temperament control." She managed to pun out and they all still heard her. Or at least felt the terrible feel of thet pun.
"Yang, first off, you're one to talk." Weiss chastised.
"And two," Blake chimed in. "The puns, goddammit Yang."
"I've never really seen Jaune look so nettled before." Ruby muttered, unnerved by the look of blind aggression on his face. Her setiments were shared with many others in the room.
Everyone in the room flinched to cover their ears, especially team CRDL. So busy, covering their ears, CRDL couldn't do anything to stop or avoid Jaune's charge towards them, his head lowered and buried into Cardin's stomach as he bolted right through his team. If Cardin wasn't a hunter student, he would at least need some surgery.
Almost all the people in the room winced at watching Cardin take such a blow and seeing how his aura flickered. The ones who didn't flinch -
"Yes, finish him!" Sienna snarled, a toothy grin on her face.
"Show him what happens when try to take a faunus by the horns!" Adam cheered before ducking under a soda thrown at his head courtesy of Sienna. Concurring on a similar subject or not, you'd still be pretty pissed at the guy who backstabbed you from the front.
Neo just shook her head in slight pleasure. It wasn't like Jaune torturing someone, but still a nice little sight.
Jaune's charge only stopped when he lifted his head up and tossed the bully overhead to the point Cardin nearly hit the ceiling. "Out of the flying wyvern family, the Diablos is one of the physically strongest and unlike most flying wyverns -"
The scene transitioned as Jaune truned around and instead of turning to face Cardin, Jaune was was facing a deathstalker in the desert of Vacuo. He was protecting team CRDL from a large grimm. The deathstalker was about to impale Jaune, but he burrowed into the earth before the stinger could reach him.
"- they burrow into the ground rather than flying due to their body weight."
"So that's why their claws are more blunt, fascinating." A speedy and nerdy voice spoke.
""Oobleck?!"" The Beacon children shouted in surprise.
"Hello children, are you pass the rathalos part too? Wasn't that amazing, a creature evolved with such potent toxicity in its talons and-"
"If may ask, Oobleck," Ozpin cut in from the side. "But when did you get here and how?"
"I was supposed to be here earlier but-"
"Teleportation malfunction." DB answered hastily. "I'll explain later."
The deathstalker didn't know where he went until Jaune burst from the earth and right into the creature's vulnerable underside right below its head. It died instantly. Jaune shook off the gore like it was nothing, turned to the stunned team CRDL to give them a once over, and walked off while shaking off some more loose sand.
"Amazing." Oobleck uttered. "A physical powerhouse."
"That was so cool!" Ruby exclaimed. "Seriously, every time Jaune has been shown as a faunus, his body is basically a badass weapon." Ass wasn't that bad a swear compared to what's been said, so she didn't have to pay the swear jar.
"No kidding, I think Yang would have trouble with him." Ren uttered, but Yang heard.
"Let's not overestimate him now." Yang said, giving Ren a chastising look. Though she had to admit, fight a diablos Jaune was leaning on the more hazardous side than entertaining.
"Other than that," Pyrha spoke. "It's good to see Jaune dosen't hold grudges."
"You don't know that." Sienna chimed in. "He was just saving them because their comrades with a mutual goal. Grudges have nothing to do with it."
Pyrrha laughed, albeit her laugh seemed strained, as if slightly on edge. "I think I know my partner."
"Correction: the partner of our world. Not that one." Sienna said with a sneer. Room was starting to feel a bit heavy.
"Now, lets take a look at a diffrent type of tyrant, one of fangs and claws rather than horns and brute force."
This time, rather than a normal desolate landscape, the camera shifts to an environment of carrion, cave, weird plants, and bone.
"Here, a diffrent type of powerful predator lurks." A red skin paw with a double set of claws stepped in front of the camera. The camera panned up to reveal a wolf like beast. Rather than fur, it was covered in red lizard like skin. It had baleful deep blue eyes, prominent fangs, a tail with rock like protrusions, and its paws had two sets of claws.
"Eewww, it looks like a skinless demonic dog." Weiss blanched at such a sight. "So abhorrent looking."
"It's most likely evolved that way due to its diet, David did say it was a scavenger after all." Oobleck said before sipping his... coffee? "It's traded in fur for scaley skin of living in a toxic and decay filled environment, not mention it eats carrion. Has a rther built look for a scavenger though. Most likely evolved that way as both hunter and scavenger, because of competition, or both."
"You know we have a narrator already right?" Neptune asked, pointing towards the screen.
Oobleck shrugged. "With science, everyone's a narrator."
"Indeed." Taurus whispered. "How are you feeling Blake?" He asked gently in order to mock her.
"Fuck off." Blake told him harshly, losing a bit of her cool. Dogs were one thing, but this really didn't help.
"The Odogaron, scavenger and hunter of the Rotten Vale. Anything and everything with flesh was a meal. Adapted for both surviving on scraps and getting into scraps, the Odogaron is both a survivor below and hunter atop the food chain."
The scene turned to Jaune. This time, he had deep light blue eyes, permanently bared fangs, and his claws had two sets in one. His skin had a red tinge and he was only wearing ragged shorts. Despite his filled out figure, he carried a look of eternal hunger.
"Bro, looks he could use big Mic." Sun uttered, lightly joking. "Dudes got a great build, but look at him. Look at his face." He said a bit louder.
"Indeed. A predator always on the prowl." Sienna said. She looked to the side saw how this Neo girl was getting more and more interested with each monster.
"You know, I said to myself if there was a dog version Jaune, I would see if he and Zwei could hang out first chance I got." Ruby drawled out. "This one I'll make an exception." She sighed out.
He was in an abandoned town and appeared to be looking for something judging from his prowling. "Odogaron are fearless fighters in their quest for food and not much can scare them off due to their heightened feral characteristics."
Jaune stopped and sniffed. He turned around. Before him was the nuckelavee, an old one responsible for this towns demise, in its full glory. Drool began to leak from his maw and he snarled as the nuckelavee's eyes began to seem more hate filled.
Jaune's friends developed a look of slight worry but two others had it worse.
Ren and Nora had a horrifying look of deja vu on their faces. Ren tensed up and Nora immediately held his hand. Not only were they seeing there old home town long destroyed, but their leader was facing the very grimm who did it. Ozpin could see the concern on their faces and understood why.
"You shouldn't worry." Sienna spoke out to the Beacon children. "You friend shows no fear and niether should you."
The nucklelavee attacked first, the horse charging at Jaune as the rider's fist came forward. Jaune ran towards the charging grimm on all fours, strafing side to side from the rider's hands. He landed atop the horses head hands first and his claws dug into the face, tearing it open as he flipped over it.
The grimm crashed into a building with a cry of agony as Jaune landed gracefully on all fours, blood on his claws. "Despite Odogaron's savagery, they've proven themselves as intelligent combatants stalking prey to find an exploitable weakness and when fighting, wait for opponents to attack first and slip up."
"Yeah, that's my boy, go get 'em!" Neptune exclaimed, pumped to see Jaune own this freak.
"Astounding, despite the beastly nature, strategy and patience is used." Oobleck noted quickly.
"He'll be fine." Ozpin told Ren and Nora. Both were looking better as Jaune demonstrated his combat prowess, Nora bouncing in his seat a bit more.
"What was that headmaster?" Weiss asked.
"I said, that was fine display." Ozpin said, once again being bland and mellow as usual.
The nuckelavee recovered rather quickly, rushing from the dust and debris with a screech, a horrible bleeding tear on the horses face. The nucklelavee was in the second form, ready to fight much harder.
"Not only do Odogaron have sharp minds, but sharp claws and fangs. Sharp enough to inflict harsh, hard to help bleeding."
"The laceration looks worse than what my baby could do." Ruby mused allowed, digging Jaune's claws. 'Maybe I can model a weapon after those.'
"I don't know what's worse to think about." Blake said. "Yang's punches or those claws."
"Wanna go another round to help those thoughts." Yang joked, though deep down she felt those claws would be worse.
Jaune pounced again, but this time, the nucklelavee twirled its hands and caught Jaune midair. He was dragged against the ground and tossed into the side of a building. He didn't get to recover as a fist smashed him inside.
"No!" Ren shouted, seeing his friend getting pummeled by the monster who destroyed his home.
"Alas, even great predators can make mistakes or lose some luck. However, Odogaron have a bit of a trump card." Inside the building, Jaune landed next to an old meat storage, the flesh rotten from age. He licked his lips at the sight and smell.
The nucklelavee lumbered to the building, but stopped as a piercing howl left the building and several wooden objects were thrown at it. The nucklelavee easily knocked those away but screeched as something was tearing into its sides. It tried to slap it off, but it jumped off, taking a pound of flesh with it.
It was Jaune holding the piece of flesh from his mouth before he spit it away to fade. His eyes were brighter and his insides looked to be alight, steam leaving his mouth and back plates "RRRRROOOOOLOOLOOLOO!"
"Pfffftttt- HAHAHAHA!" Ruby just broke off in hysteric laughter. "He sounds like a demonically possessed turkey!" Sun and Penny chuckled with her, though the latter did so just because her friend was doing so. Adam managed to hold back a slight smirk.
"I'd laugh too had I not just seen him with rotten flesh in his mouth." Weiss said, grimacing at the thought of even smelling such a thing.
"Faunus have ranging biological functions, which can include carrion consumption in some cases." Oobleck reasoned.
Weiss rolled her eyes. "I know, dosen't mean I have to like though."
"Typical Schnee." Sienna said aloud. Adam would've done so too, had Sienna not been the one saying it.
The nucklelavee screamed, enraged by the lack of Jaune dying and shot a fist off. Jaune jumped up and landed on the offending limb, breaking the bones of its hands with his powerful legs. The nucklelavee howled but fought on, throwing another fist towards Jaune. The faunus jumped towards the side of rather distant building and when the grimm swung at that with a side swipe, he jumped towards the rider before the blow could land.
The nuckelavee didn't have enough time to reel in the other limb and decided to use the broken hand. It may have been painful, but it knew death by that particular faunus would be excruciating. The blow would've landed had Jaune not had the agility to flip in the air.
He landed behind the nucklelavee and grabbed it by the horns. The grimm wasted no time flipping out, the horse jumping and kicking around while the rider violently shook and flailed around to get Jaune off. The faunus held on by the horns and scratched at the grimm rider's face and body when could, leaving painful and bloody wounds on it. The nuckelavee rider's face was nearly torn off and its body was missing pieces all over it.
The violently shaking of the rider only ceased when both it and Jaune were pushed against a building. This gave Jaune the time he needed and with a powerful jerk of his body, he twisted the rider by the head and loud crack was made. The rider and Jaune began to dangle of the horse. The grimm rider could only look on as Jaune bared his fangs and proceeded to devour the rider's head.
"How voracious." Oobleck whispered.
"How atrocious." Weiss muttered.
"How stupendous." Sienna guffawed. "That was fine display of skill and power." Neo nodded enthusiastically with Sienna, admiring Jaune's work. True, the savage type didn't really strike her as appealing, but such kill skill did.
"That was a bit much." Ren muttered.
"You didn't like it?" Nora asked, confused by by her partner's attitude in this situation.
Ren shook his head and an oddly subtle menacing look appeared on his face, though it was directed towards the screen. "I didn't say that now."
The horse froze mid run, fell, and crash into an old yard. It tried to get up, but it looked extremely woozy and its movements were sluggishly clumsy. Jaune used this opportunity to keep on the assualt and rip off a leg clumsily swung his way, the horse crying out in more agony as it fell. It received no mercy, Jaune tearing into its belly in a ravenous frenzy and throwing gore around with reckless abandon. A few seconds of struggling and wails of pain, the beast was silent and fading away.
"Such savagery." Adam spoke. "I haven't seen a grimm such as a nuckelavee torn apart like that in a long time."
"Rather cathartic if you ask me." Ren whispered and Nora nodded in agreement. It wasn't it, but still seeing a version of it getting ripped apart felt therapeutic.
"Terrifying." David uttered. "Even beasts much larger than an Odogaron will be given no quarter. In fact, their usually the first to be targeted. All flesh was food after all, and the bigger its is, the longer it will last." Jaune got up, cooled down, sniffed the air, and went off to find more prey. Off in the distance, someone was watching him through a pair of binoculars and nodding in approval. "Stay turned good watchers, for more is to come in the future."
Cue the screen turning off.
"That was interesting." Ozpin announced.
"Indeed, now would DB mind telling us about this malfunction earlier?" Weiss asked looking towards the ceiling, everyone except Oobleck following suit.
"what? Look, there's only 10% chance of you guys getting fused to objects." DB answered nonchalantly.
Everyone in the room went wide, including Ozpin. Then everyone except Ozpin and Oobleck shouted altogether. ""WHAT!""
The lights shut off before any more could be said.
OMAKE: Penny's Reason to be Here... for this Chapter.
"Did you get me the recordings?" A scientist asked as Penny reentered the facility chambers for her.
"Absolutely." She said before handing the professor a hard drive. "I was able to get a recording of the top class natural monsters, as DB promised you. How sensational!"
"Isn't it!" The professors said, giddiness leaking from his vocal cords. "Soon, soon the Predacons will be complete!" The professor shouted before laughing maniacally.
"About that, sir, Predacons is already a trademarked name." Penny interrupted, killing the man's mood.
"What, by who?" Penny pulled out a logo and showed it to him. "What the frick on a fraction is Transformers?"
