AN: Alright guys, I'm gonna tell you what's in storage:
Rick and Morty based fic by Yoshi3000
Not This Time Fate by Couer Al'Aran
A Fate Stay Night based fic from jauneforever
Dark Night (2005) by Zeroth17
Evangelion, Godeater, Tokyo Ghoul, by Guikoi
And I plan to talk to LaughingLefou about a chapter from Immortal. I did the first chapter and lost it by accident in the files. However, I'm sorta glad I did Iose it because using the first chapter would've been lackluster for reactions... I'mma throw these peeps in balls deep in a random chapter of insanity without any life preservers.
I also have my own ideas:
More Grimm man crybaby, Jaune vs silene scenario then the ending at some point.
Bleached Jaune, Jaune vs Morrigan which is akin to Ichigo vs Ulquiorra.
Hardcore Penny, based off hardcore henry.
And one pure original where Jaune gains power from his nudity and he's a little more eccentric.
Anyway, having documents given to me makes it easier than a simple request, but even then I have to warn you that my fuel for these fics has been wearing thin in the past. As much as I find it loathsome to admit this but, I'm like a toreador for Vampire masquerade (look it up). My passion burns bright for a time then it can burn out like that before burning again, it can take a while to transition. I'm gonna get this stuff done, but it may take a while and I'm sorry for that.
Lastly and most importantly, massive amounts of credit to my boi, The unknown Plague, bringing up the idea and making most of the alternate universe parts. In fact, the reason we got this done and I'm making another chapter right now was because he asked me to do this with him in the PMs and I thought he was going use but then he said I should since I did the reactions. He's awesome. Btw, he's gonna make his own version, so be ready for that y'all!
NOW ENJOY!
You know the drill true audience, lights back on, everyone adjusts quickly, and we introduce the people back in the room. Glynda, Ozpin, Ironwood, and Penny. Though Ironwood had to say, "I like the new theater. Way more welcoming than that previous room."
Glynda concured with that statement "That we can agree on . It was like one of your interrogation rooms only more like a void."
Ironwood chuckled at hearing that, "Right?"
"Ahem." DB cleared his throat, "If your done insulting my previous decor, I bring you a little surprise universe me and my friend retrived footage of." He chose to ignore the questioning and suspicous look he received form the cast and started the video.
A young Jaune was on screen holding his arm in a hoodie. He had a sad look on his face while a few cuts and scrapes were all over him. It wouldnt seem too bad at first until closer inspection made it look like he had gotten pushed around by some kids.
"Okay hold still, this is gonna sing a bit." His mother said holding a bottle of disinfectant cleaning some cuts while Jaune just sat there, depression and anguish in his heart.
"Aw, it's Jauney as a baby sloth." Nora gushed, making Ren shake his head with a small smile and Pyrrha giggle.
"Aw, he was adorable," Yang chuckled, "Not as cute as Rubes though." She added with a little side smug and pride in her tone.
"Yang..." Ruby groaned.
"Hey guys, I know normal children usually get scraped a lot but," Pyrrha looked at the screen more closely and felt more uncomfortable as she noticed the large amounts of wounds, "Isn't this a bit much."
Ozpin nodded, a less than comfortable look on his face. "Indeed, miss Nikos He's being injured by more than just playful rough housing."
"He mean bullying." Yang said as more of a statement than a question.
The concern then spread amongst the younger audience of the room, especially after seeing more of the wounds and marks on his arms.
"Why am I a freak?" He asked his mother as she was finisheing up wraping up the last of the bandages. She was shocked by what her son just said and stopped abruptly.
"H-honey you're not a freak. You're just different," She was cut off as Jaune sniffed starting to cry. His hands digging in the chair as a scratching sound was heard.
"All the kids make fun of me while the older kids all call me a freak. Even the famous kids do it, calling me a monster while adults keep them away, whispering the same thing." The tears began rolling down his cheeks while he tried and failed to stop himself from crying.
"They say In not human or faunus... I'm just a freak of nature..." He forced out through the tears as he let go of the chair and held his eyes as the damn broke. The tears flooding out as he began crying and his mother grabbed him, pulling him into an embrace.
"Why was I born like this?" Jaune could barely asked out, cursing what cruel god's made him like this. But his mother could only let out her own tears silently as she pulled up his shirt and saw the scales that were growing all over his back. Each day they got worse and worse, growing all over his body and no matter what they couldn't stop it.
She believed this to be some cruel punishment on her child for the horrible things she allowed to happen to turn him into this. But all she could do was hold her son and cry with him blaming herself in silence just like his father.
To say this was shocking would be putting it lightly. A child, already an outcast among society in general and beaten by his peers while other adults encouraged the hate... "why", that was the question that rang through everyone's minds. Because of his abnormal skin? That made no sense to them.
"This is horrendous, to be an outcast from everyone through no fault of your own and over something so petty." Blake couldn't imagine being ostracized by both faunus and humans alike.
"Jaune of a people, a monster?" Weiss scoffed bitterly, "Nonsense to the highest degree."
"It's bullshit is what it is!" Yang exclaimed, a tiny flare of fire went through her hair, "No kid deserves this, no matter how diffrent!"
"Definitely not Jaune..." Ruby whispered as her fists clenched and she resisted the urge to cry, "And if his family is anything like our Jaune's, the people he always smiles when he talks about, they don't either."
Pyrrha was holding back tears of her own, "What's wrong with everyone there? Why would they do this to him?" Next, to her, Ren was doing his best to subtly keep Nora from flipping out in rage. Nora herself felt ready to break some legs and hot tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Is he dangerous or even hazardous in any way? Did his parents do anything wrong?" Ironwood wondered aloud.
"Father," Penny spoke up, "Given my lack of knowledge, I doubt my words and limited wisdom carry much weight, but I doubt a child such as that would be dangerous in any way." Penny looked towards the screen again, more than able to process the anguish in front of her, "There's no way they deserve this." She whispered.
"I know that, Penny. And I doubt any child deserves this," Ironwood was that type of his person who tolerated any form of discrimination and he had to admit, Jaune looked like a fine young man, an upstanding individual in society. He was a man of the law and order, a general after all, and because of that he had to ask, "But still, what's going on here?"
Glynda leaned towards Ozpin, her eyes still glued to the screen, "Ozpin?"
He nodded. "I'm not entirely sure yet. I need to see more."
They kept crying before it slowly transitioned to some time later as Jaune was at a small lake looking at himself in the water with his hood up. He clenched his hands in the grass tearing it apart as they were covered in scales and claws.
He was silent as he heard the sound of sticks snapping and talking as he saw a group of teens.
"I know the freak went this way."
"He probably comes here to slither back into his little den like the croc shit he is."
"Let's just get the freak and go, " one said as they were looking for him to torment.
"There he is!"
"No more, " Jaune spoke as he moved into the lake and underwater as they came running for him only to stop. They were trying to find him yet again. They walked around the lake, getting on rocks and the pier searching for him.
"Find anything?" One called to the rocks as the deer faunus was looking. He was looking around the rocks before getting near the water.
"No, I don't-aagh!" He was cut off replaced with a scream before going silent, being pulled into the water suddenly.
"Brock?" Another called out coming after overhearing him scream only to see the scroll lying on the ground. The boy walked over, picking it up not and seeing the black hoodie slowly coming out of the water dragging the faunus as serpent eyes looked at him as what sounded like a crocodile hissing made him turn as it lunged at him.
He grabbed him telling him I to the water like tag dolls. He continued doing this, scaring them more until they began running away. The only one left was the main bully who stood on land, frightened and alone. He held up the bat he brought with him before the water seemed to explode and Jaune came flying out landing next to him. He yelled, swinging the bat at his would be punching bag but Jaune only moved and bit down, taking the chunk of the bat and leaving only the handle as he spit out the part he bit off. He grabbed the older boy, lifting him up to meet his eyes.
He growled as he could smell the fear coming off him as his eyes slitted, his focus all on him. But then they reverted back to normal and blue aand he dropped him before looked at his hands. He shook, scared at what he nearly done. He ran off back home.
What did he do? He didn't remember a thing as all of it just became a blur. He could have hurt someone very badly... no, he could've killed someone.
"I should've stayed home."
At first, they hoped for an intervention, something to stop these bullies from laying a hand on a single stared of Jaune's hair. Now, they wondered what was going on and why terror ran through them.
Jaune wasn't a faunus, he certainly wasn't human, and, somewhat on the bright side, he wasn't part Grimm either.
But he was something else entirely, something dangerous.
Everyone knew he almost slipped up.
Ironwood turned to his daughter, "Penny?"
"I don't know," she said as she shook her head. She wasn't exactly afraid like her peers that she was caught off guard, probably the most since she didn't know what that was. "There's nothing even relating to that in the data banks."
"Ozpin?" Glynda put a little more stress into it.
Ozpin nodded, stoic on the surface, a little anxious underneath, "Still not sure."
(8 years later)
"Alright kid, just like usual, give them a show and they'll eat it right up." A large man said as he was wrapping boxing tape around large-scale hands.
"One thing, the ass hasn't fed the crocs so be careful. You're gonna need to be on guard with them today." He said as the large wrestler clenched his fists.
"Got it, " Jaune spoke slowly, choppily with a low growl in his voice. His body was hidden by the shadows.
"Okay, so Jaune found work and has some bass in his voice," Yang said, nervous about what was going on. "His hands are also big and scaly, more so than the last times."
Ozpin sighed, wiping his glasses after setting down his coffee, "Once again, more beast than human. The polar opposite of a faunus."
Ironwood raised his brow, "so, is he another mythological creature this time?" Everyone turned to him and he nodded to Penny, "I'm not one to stay out of the loop if I can help it."
"Doesn't matter, look at this." Blake's voice began to rise, anger starting to course through her, "Look at where he's at and look at those people. He's an attraction."
Nervousness and a touch of started to course through a portion of the group. The thought of anyone in general, let alone a close friend made out to be some public spectacle... it wasn't right.
Pyrrha, having been a public idol who only received unwanted attention, was at the very least grateful it was positive fame. "Jaune..." she whispered, worried at the thought of his mind being ravaged by a larger audience's malicious enjoyment gave her further woe in her heart.
Ozpin, Glynda, and Ironwood, rather than anger felt more nervous and in the case of the former, caring concern for Jaune. Imagine if whatever condition or talents he had fell into the wrong hands?
Penny hoped that Jaune could at least find himself friends in whatever condition and place he was in.
He put on a large robe over his 8 foot tall form, growling as he walked to the light.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this beast came from the deepest parts of remnant. He is neither man or faunus. A beast that lived deep in parts unknown to any." The owner yelled out as Jaune walked closer to the light of the entrance.
"He is larger than any faunus, stronger than any huntsmen. He is able to rip Grimm apart with his bare hands and even took on a horde! He weighs over 450 lbs and stands over 8ft tall." Jaune walked out into the stage as the lights all shined down on him. He reached up and pulled off his hood and cloak exposing his body.
"I present to you Killer Croc!"
It had been completely replaced by scales and all his hair gone. His eyes were no longer sapphire, but a golden sclera with black spots like that of a crocodile. His only clothing was a pair of custom-made boxer shorts. As he looked at the grade, he opened his mouth to reveal razor-sharp teeth.
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaagh!" He roared out to the crowds sounding like an animal.
Gasps and shocked faces went through the audience, seeing the little both from minutes earlier transform into this hulking terror. Even Ozpin didn't remain totally stoic, despite what he might say.
"Whoa... Jaune became so super duper cool!" Nora yelled, practically bouncing in her seat.
"Good lord." Ironwood gasped. Reports are one thing, but seeing is a whole different matter.
"Oh, he's bigger than the other times." Penny hummed, her mind processing what was being shown and what she saw before, "Ah, Jaune's progressing through metamorphosis rather than just maturing. Neat."
Blake folded her arms and glared at the screen, "So they mistreated because he was... like this?" She shook her head and sighed, "I understand now."
"Yeah, but it doesn't make you hate it any less." Weiss let out a long exhale through her nose and closed her eyes for just a second, "People are cruel, no matter what their categories are."
"Now for the fight!" The announcer yelled as the floor Lowered and Jaune fell into water reaching up to his waist. He shook off the water as he growled, looking around the water for any surprises. Suddenly a crocodile came out of the water, biting his arm.
He grunted before reaching down and grabbing the lizard and pried it's mouth off befode he began to punch it in the head, making it thrash around. He growled as another bit his leg and side making him toss the first s could fight and wrestle the others that were in the water with him. They were starved and we're extremely hungry, meaning they weren't gonna stop until Jaune was nothing but bone, if anything at all.
"Place bets! Will he fall and become a meal for these beasts or shall he win with his life!" The announcer yelled as many cheered watching the fight happening down below them. The drunks and others yelling at Jaune calling, him a freak and laughing as he kept fighting killing the gators one by one.
He grabbed one out of the water and began to pry its jaws open before snapping them, breaking it until it went limp. He had a few bite wounds himself as the water slowly turned red. Finally, the last one was dead as he bit the beast by the throat and ripped it off, eating it after. Jaune tossed down the corpse and climbed out of the tank as he breathed in and roared into the ceiling making much cheer from the fight and others not from losing lien having bet on him dying.
"I'm glad Jaune won, but... to hell with everyone else in there." Ruby stated, folding her arms and glaring at the screen.
"Yeah," Blake agreed, "Bloodsport for drunks and the spiteful... disgusting." She spat out.
The sentiment was shared by many in that room. No one one like the thought of abuse of animals nor did they like the thought of Jaune being used into such a spectacle. For the friends of Jaune and his teachers, concern and anger for his well being rose in their hearts. For Ironwood, this was an affront to any sense of common decency and these people deserved to face justice.
(Later)
"20...you told me a hundred," Jaune growled sitting in a chair as he was licking his wounds from the fight, which were healed fast already, some closed up and gone. He was told a hundred lien for the fight with the crocodiles.
"Feel lucky I'm giving you that. A freak like you can't find any work, so be happy I'm giving you anything." The scumbag laughed at him just because of what he was. He growled as his eyes slit looking at him.
Ironwood would have spat on the ground if he didn't find that unbecoming... and rude to the clean up. "Dirty degenerates." Penny nodded with his words, knowing full well the wrong displayed here.
Glynda pushed her classes, subconsciously holding her wand in a tighter grip. People like that required clearly lacked morals and she felt the urge to teach him some.
"Such a waste." Ozpin muttered and Glynda turned to him, a signal for further elaboration, "Jaune being used for entertainment and that man thinking he could get away with this unscathed... it's a shame really."
"What a jerk!" Yang shouted her eyes flashing red and her hair beginning to flame on, "Seriously, anyone else wanna just jump in there and kick ass?"
"Damn right, sister!" Ruby shouted, wishing she could brandish her baby.
"Indeed." Weiss growled, glare dead set on the man who conned Jaune, "Those cretins could use a good throttling."
Blake didn't need to say anything. Her laid back cat ears and slowly slitting eyes said it all, her contempt for those people ever growing.
"If NPR, as in us, were there, we'd definitely smash some legs, right guys." Nora asked as she turned towards her teammates, standing from her seat and hands on her hips.
"Very much so/Mhm." Pyrrha and Ren didn't even bother hiding the malice they had for those types of people. People who use others for gain and try to con them too. They were disgusting and wretched.
Jaune suddenly opened his mouth and a sickening crunch was heard as Jaune bit off his entire hand. He made a horrible scream and fall back holding the bloody stump. Jaune spit out the hand and stood up glaring down at him.
"Think you can con me? I'll show you what kind of freak I am." He grabbed him by his head and lifted him up as the screams were muffled. "I'm a monster," He growled as outside men were running with guns to their boss. They kicked open the door and aimed their guns, but all they saw was his headless corpse as Jaune held the mush that was once his head in his hand. He dropped it as he licked the blood from his hand.
"Dinner time, " He growled out looking at his now frightened prey. He took a step and bullets started firing at him. They did nothing just bounced off his scales since they had mutated more, becoming bulletproof due to being shot so many times over the years. He just laughed walking towards them as the screen faded to black with the screams and gunfire followed by Flesh tearing and bones breaking.
The room was silent as they listened to that. No one would defend those men, though Ironwood did think the punishment was cruel and even the others had to agree that seeing and hearing Jaune do all that was... it wasn't positive in any way, even if that man derseved come up ins. It was too much, especially from Jaune.
Jaune mattered more to most in the room than that lowlife obviously. And because of that, the thought of him living up to the moniker of monster given to him by his harrassers and assailents was frightening, no matter what universe it was.
When it came bac, Jaune was wearing the cloak again, carrying a large metal case as he walked through the forest and heading to a rail yard that had a train being loaded up. Jaune looked around and saw a large shipping container filled with Dust and the SDC logo. He moved over and climbed it, cringing from hearing the metal creak from his weight before he closed the doors and hid inside, resting his form as he was completely tired from days of running since he got the money and killed the men before getting away. He held the case close to his chest waiting for a stop as he began to sleep waiting.
"Must get them the lien..." He mumbled falling into sleep.
'Why does that train look so familiar..." Blake thought to herself. It was almost like a certain tarin she had... ended relations with Adam on, 'Could it be?'
As Jaune slumbered resting within the cargo he began to hear gunfire which made him snap open his eyes which become slits and the instincts for survival kicked in. A large beam suddenly ripped through the container, the he growled while jumping out, barely hidden by the cloak. He looked around, snarling as his eyes landed on a girl in black. He could smell blood and death all over her as the scent of something even more covered in death was getting farther away.
He let out some type of growl as he pulled the metal case closer to himself. Blake raised her weapons in defense as she saw him after turning around. She was caught off gaurd by something neither faunus nor human.
"You reek of blood and death," Jaune spoke as he was low to the ground on all fours, ready to attack if she did anything aggressive.
"Blake?" Yang was the first one to say. "What are you - she doing there?"
"You look rather ragged," Weiss said, analyzing the Blake in this scene, "Not to mention you were panicked before even meeting Jaune."
"Yeah..." Blake said, her concentration more on this scene. Now that she thought about...her eyes widened for a brief period, realising why this looked so familiar, 'The train I escaped from Adam on!'
"What do you think Jauney meant by the scent of "blood and death"?" Nora asked, trying to mimic Jaune's deep voice with a imitation.
Yang folded her arms and sighed, "That Blake's got a story behind like our Blake," she said, dodding to her partner, who said nothing but looked away, with a shame filled expression. Yang smiled and put a hand on her shoulder.
Ironwood made a mental note to keep an eye on that one and Ozpin made a mental note to keep an eye on Ironwood's eye.
"I don't want to hurt anyone," Blake took a step to the side as Jaune's glowing golden eyes followed her weary form. Blake, on the other hand, had her instincts telling her to run from the blood-hungry beast. She could smell and see blood that covered the claws. He looked at her like a predator about to catch its prey.
"Halt," More of the security bots came from the car, pointing their guns at Jaune as he was seen as a larger threat to their programming. Jaune turned and snarled as he swung his arm smashing them away and off the train like flies. They began to fire at him, only making him angrier as he held his arms up protecting his face as they showered him in bullets. Blake took cover from them for relative maximum safety until she found an opening to escape.
"Raaaagh!" Jaune jumped high into the sky and into their group smashing one as he opened his mouth biting the head of one and crushing it in his jaw. He spat it out before he began to rip them apart another until one changed its weapon to a flamethrower and washed him in flames, making him yell in pain and primal fear. He swung around wildly as he began to claw and tear away at his now burning cloak.
Nora practically jumped from her seat and yelled, "Those scales aren't fire resistant?!"
"Nora, his mutated DNA has been altered by that of crocodilians, not dragons!" Penny didn't know much about animals, but she had enough common sense to know most animals and fire didn't mix.
Jaune's scales were made to hold off penetration and blunt damage to an extent. Burning was something else entirely.
"Aaaah, it burns!" He kept clawing before he ripped it all away and exposed himself as the security drones all scanned him.
"Threat level exceeded, objective." They all turned to him with flame and blades as he was as dangerous as a level A Grimm
"Exterminate threat," They spoke as they began attacking him with flames. It hurt him greatly but also provided fuel for his rage. As he ran and smashed his way through the robo, he ended up in a car with all the workers, who yelled as Jaune past them. He ran before he climbed up onto the roof coming over a large bridge as the sentinals kept firing at him.
"Have...to escape," He growled as his wounds were closing up as he looked at the large drop into the water. He only growled as they were coming and he was boxed in. He wasted no time, he jumped and began free falling from the train as he held out his hands and began to dig his claws into the side of the cliff, ripping it apart as he dug his claws deeper until he had slowed enough before he let go, falling and hitting the water hard. With a drop like that no one without aura would be able to even survive such a thing.
Well, no one faunus or human at least.
The screen was off. No one said anything. At this point, the alarm bells ringing screamed cliffhanger alert. Still, there were a lot of unanswered questions and everyone wondered what would become of Jaune.
"Hey guys," Ruby began, a little sprinkle of hesitation in her tone, "You think Jaune-"
"Doubt it," Ozpin answered quickly, "With armor and a size like that, I doubt anything too ill would befall him from the fall. And he is partially crocodilian."
"He was really kinda cool looking," Nora flexed her arms and had a cheeky little grin, "Ozpin's right, there's no way Jaune is down an out."
Ironwood himself was contemplating, wondering if any anomalies such as that could occur in their world. "Father," Penny grabbed his attention, "Have you ever heard of the skin condition known as epidermolytic hyperkeratosis?"
He opened his mouth and all was dark... until next time.
