Snippet 10
RWBY Reacts to…
(A/N: Here's something special I would figure I would do. Every ten or so chapters, I'll do a RWBY React chapter to the snippet with the most reviews out of the previous nine snippets. The time as I wrote this, it was a tie between Snippet 1 – Beware the Arc and the Bunny and Snippet 5 – Jaune Wins By Practically Doing Nothing (For the Most Part) with six reviews down the middle. So, I'll having the first one reacted to. Note: I won't really be doing this unless I do feel I pull one off again.)
Within the atypical white void between worlds, a lone young man in a cloak sat keying at his laptop on his desk before looking to the audience.
"Let's get this started." He remarked keying a command at his computer before executing the program.
A black portal formed in the air as several familiar faces fell out of it into the pillows on the floor. Ruby was first to get up.
"What the heck is going on?" Ruby said getting up.
"We're doing this again….this is the sixth time. Well at least, he's following Void's example in bringing Jaune with us." Ozpin said dusting himself.
"What are you talking about?" Jaune said confused.
"Oh, just us reacting to other worlds. Seems this "god" is letting Ozpin and I remember." Nora said helping the team up.
"I'm not a god, for I am merely the extended thought of a man from Earth. One fueled by creativity." He said tossing off his cloak revealing his full appearance. "And a power to manipulate reality itself."
He was a dark African male about 5'9" and in his late teens-early twenties with black hair and brown eyes. He wore green wireless headphones around his neck, a striped white and black scarf, a blue shirt under a black tattered trench coat with green endings, green belt with matching pants, and dark green boots. He carried a katana on his side and had a thunderbolt marking on his right eye.
"So, going to keep us here like the rest?" Nora asked.
"No. I'll summon for you when I reach a point. That's the cast is limited. I am Kai Mirai Yoshi but call me Yoshi." Yoshi had said with a bow.
"Well, at least you're polite unlike that drunk." Glynda said with a sigh.
"Allow me to check, Team RWBY, JNPR, Ozpin, and Glynda. Perfect." Yoshi said as the room materialized in the style of a movie theater. "Now, allow to me to make this comfortable for you all."
All the walls and the floor were painted black, and the lack of windows would leave the place quite dark were it not for the small lamps that looked like stars on the ceiling – a very high ceiling too. There were three doors: two on the left, one on the right. On the wall directly in front of them, they could see a big TV screen massive and towering over them all. And a few feet away from this, there was a table filled with snacks and pastries of all kinds also with a coffee machine.
"Snazzy." Yang said whistling in appreciation.
"I aim to please, dragoness." Yoshi said mirthfully.
"Pancakes!/Cookies!" Nora/Ruby said attacking the snack table.
Yoshi was glad he stored their weapons in a glass case in his "office" for now. Beanbag chairs emerged of varying colors all themed after them to which they all took their seats. Yoshi stood center stage as a spotlight shone down on him.
"Allow me to say that the RWBYverse is infinite, full of different possibilities. Some good, some bad, and some perverted. With every good ending, there's a bad one. Here, you'll see works formed by yours truly. I am but one of the writers adding to the Infinite number of stories. But, why do I do this? Because of a motto I've adopted." Yoshi said with a bow. "Somebody give us a story, narrate of places that we'll never see, Give us a haven for imagination so at least in our minds we can attempt to be free."
Blake, being the avid reader, clapped earnest for this quote as Yoshi stepped down.
"So, you'll seeing the first story, Beware the Arc and the Bunny." Yoshi said walking away. "Have fun!"
With a snap of his fingers, a white door appeared on the wall to which Yoshi exited through before the door vanished. With him gone, the screen whirred to life.
"Might as well get comfy." Ren said sipping some tea.
It was obvious that to be a huntsman, you needed to have resolve. That was something Jaune Arc had. You also needed money, and sadly Jaune did not have much of it. Money may have been the root of all evil at times, but you needed lien to survive. So, Jaune took up a job as a limo driver, but it was a thankless job…
"So, Jaune drives people around in a limo? Doesn't sound that bad?" Ruby said innocently.
"Trust me, I've ridden in limos and my dad is always rude to the driver." Weiss said sadly. "I have to tip high to keep the driver from strangling my father."
"You think Jaune will strangle someone?" Yang asked.
"Yang, I wouldn't!" Jaune remarked hotly.
"Different universe, different rules." Ozpin said sipping at his coffee. "We don't know this Jaune."
-Late Evening, An Apartment in Vale-
Jaune did not want to get out of the bed for many reasons, but the young brunette snuggling him was the top of those reasons. Her rabbit ears were so cute as he could gaze upon them for hours. The two were resting up after a stressful week at Beacon. Begrudgingly, he shook her awoke gently as her brown eyes fluttered.
"Damn Jaune, you scored well." Yang commented.
"Me and Velvet?" Jaune said choking on his popcorn.
Over the loudspeaker, Yoshi spoke out, "Do remember that in every universe. Everybody has a different partner! Let that sink in at this point, everybody has done everybody!"
Jaune had a nosebleed at this while the rest decided to try not to think too hard on it.
"I wonder if there's one with me and him." Blake thought curiously.
Pyrrha was simmering on the inside of seeing Jaune and Velvet in bed together.
"Vel, we got work." Jaune said.
Velvet sighed and said, "I really wish you didn't have to work that lousy job. I could support you. You know I'd gladly do so."
Jaune could smile mirthfully at her. She was the light of his life and he would fight through a horde of Grimm for her. They had been dating for close to year, but Jaune was adamant of supporting himself. Velvet did have money to spoil Jaune, but Jaune wanted to prove his worth like every Arc before him.
"Yup, that totally sounds like our Jaune." Nora said patting her leader on the back.
"I feel I'd be a bit zealous if I did that, Nora." Jaune remarked.
"You do have your team to support you and your friends." Pyrrha alleged being the support he need.
"I know, but I can't let you support me like that." Jaune said springing up out of his bed.
Yang covered Ruby's innocent eyes, and the rest face faulted. Jaune was feeling uncomfortable with eyes on both him and his counterpart. Pyrrha snapped a photo using her scroll for the memories…and for the spank bank. Weiss was slowly regretting rebuffing the dork knight's flirting.
"Hot damn." Yang thought.
Glynda was fighting looking at the images, and Ozpin kept sipping his coffee.
All the training Pyrrha, Velvet, and the rest of Team CFVY did wonders for his body making him a fit tapestry of muscle. Velvet got up as well stretching her body a bit. The apartment was a rather small and compact one, but Jaune did not complain about it. The price was good, and it was a rather quiet area of Vale. Jaune looked like the window to the streets of Vale. One woman on bicycle ending up gawking at Jaune before crashing into a pile of trashcans. Jaune closed the blinds remember he was still naked and needed to get dressed. He looked over at Velvet taking her sweet time to get dressed and Jaune was appreciative of every bit of her body. But he could not waste time, and thus got on his chauffeur's outfit. The atypical black suit with yellow tie, and the driver's cap. Velvet's chauffer outfit was quite similar to the likes of Mercy Graves; short black dress buttoned up on the left side, black flats, gray pantyhose, and the hat with holes for her ears. The two had left to get to work.
Jaune could not help but whistle in appreciation for how Velvet looked in that outfit.
As Jaune drove the limo with Velvet in the passenger seat, the two were having a quiet night. Jaune hoped for this as he pulled aside to get frisky with his lover. Sadly, the car phone rang interrupting them.
Yang found it safe to free Ruby's eyes, and Pyrrha felt bad for alternate Jaune. Ren could sympathize having a hate for when a moment is interrupted.
"Damn it." Jaune and Velvet muttered as he picked up.
They had a job tonight. Apparently, they were going to drive seven people around as a favor to the boss's son. Some lost bet apparently.
Jaune drove up to Junior's and lowered down the window only to pale at who he was carting. Cardin and his team were waiting for them and fairly drunk. Cardin had made Jaune's life a living hell in Beacon from his bullying and tugging on his girlfriend's ears. The lowest point came when Jaune was being blackmailed by him and Pyrrha offered herself up to spare Jaune. Jaune could not look at Cardin in the eye with the things they had her do.
The group wondering what had happened between them. Nora wanted to break Cardin's legs and Ozpin was seriously thinking over how his school dealt with bullying. Blake was disgusted with Cardin and mentally chided herself for not sticking for Velvet. Jaune was in the same boat.
"Jaune, can I please break Cardin's legs?" Nora pleaded with puppy eyes.
"As you leader, I must refuse." Jaune said getting Nora to pout.
"However, if you kick him in the balls, I will look the other way." Jaune said with a wink.
Glynda was surprised to hear this from Jaune of all people.
Velvet really wanted to just have Jaune drive away from them. Jaune noticed they had company. Cardin, and Sky had a girl with their shoulder around. Jaune recognized them as the Haven transfers, Cinder Fall, Emerald Sustrai. The third member of the Haven team was standing on her own, Neopolitan.
"Well, if it ain't Jauney boy and his pet rabbit." Cardin said with a snigger.
"Is it just me or is Cardin even more unlikeable here?" Ruby said munching on some strawberries.
"It's not you." Nora and Ren said unison.
"Just shut the fuck up and get in, I don't have all night." Jaune thought, but he said, "Good night, sir. We're arrived to take you to your destination."
Ruby had Jaune put a dollar in the swear jar she had.
The seven piled in and Velvet took the complimentary photo with a camera only to get belched in the face by Russel.
"Gross." Weiss whined.
"That's just disgusting and rude." Glynda mused as Ozpin sipped more of his coffee.
"And they have to endure it…" Ozpin said pitying them.
"Wonderful." Velvet said dryly.
As they drove away with the happy seven, Jaune and Velvet were considering if this was worth the pay. (Jaune: Totally not worth it.) While Velvet had to deal with Russel tugging her ears, Jaune had to grind his teeth at the practical orgy going on the backseat. (Yang had to cover Ruby's eyes, but she could not shield her ears from the sounds of it.) It seems, under the influence, Cinder was a lot more open as Cardin and Sky double teamed her.
"Dear Oum…"Jaune said with a hung jaw.
"If I was Jaune's position, I'd be pissed these guys are screwing in my backseat. That'd be like doing it on the back of Bumblebee!" Yang said with her eyes flaring red.
"Cinder, you better watch out. I'll be next." Emerald thought fingering herself to this "lovely" scene.
Neopolitan might have been the only pleasant passenger as at least she stabbed Russel's shoulder to get him to stopping pulling on Velvet's ears. (Everyone except Yang: Thank you!)
"Thank you, miss." Velvet said as the mute nodded.
Yang was still sore on getting her ass whopped by the cute mute to thank her for that kind deed.
By the time, they reached the destination, the limo was a mess. Puke, liquor, and genital fluids (Glynda: Good Oum!) were all over the leather seats and windows. Jaune and Velvet were crying in the inside as they knew they had to clean that up. Cinder was adjusting back on her dress and Emerald was on cloud nine.
Yang uncovered Ruby's eyes and she gagged at the messy limo. Jaune looked absolutely steamed as even he had his limits. Pyrrha was sharpening her spear glaring at the screen.
"Now that the moment is over, that'll be…." Jaune said before Team CDRL along Cinder and Emerald bolted out of the limo. "…..fuck!"
"What a bunch of assholes!" Ruby roared. "They messed up his limo and left without paying!"
Ruby then put another dollar in her swear jar.
Neo at least left money before vanishing, but it was not enough to calm the boiling rage Jaune and Velvet.
Yang found it ironic that the crazed mute was nice enough to pay Jaune. What was CDRL's excuse?
They looked up to see Cardin walking away from the hotel that the group were supposed to go to. With twisted grins, Jaune hit the gas and mowed Cardin down before driving away leaving his mangled body behind. Velvet had taken up that photo he took and marked Cardin's face with an X.
The group were in shock that Jaune and Velvet just up and killed someone, even if it was Cardin.
"I can't believe I'd see a world where Jaune is capable of murdering another person in such a gruesome fashion." Glynda said feeling bad for Cardin.
"It's always the nice ones, Glynda. They snap the hardest." Ozpin said. "But I'm more curious to how the rest are going to die."
Everyone looked at Ozpin with horror on their faces except Jaune who was curious to see how this played out. Nora was cheering.
(A Few Days Later)
It was a cloudy day of apathy as mostly everyone from Beacon showed up to attend Cardin's funeral. Ozpin was only there because he was the headmaster, but he really did not care for the funeral as he would rather be at home. Teams RWBY, NPR, SSSN (Weiss: But they didn't go to Beacon! /Blake: They transferred, maybe?), and CFY were seated as Cardin's team, Cinder, and Emerald carried the casket with his body.
"I can't believe Cardin's dead." Sky said a bit sad.
'I can't believe you banged Cinder on top of the casket before we walked it out." Russel said.
Everyone's eyes widened and their jaws hang loosely.
"You're joking, right?" Yang asked.
"I don't think so." Blake said shaking her hand.
"I can't believe I watched." Emerald said.
"Oh, you did more than watch." Sky said suggestively.
"They need to die." Yang said bluntly. "These guys don't even care their leader was killed. They fucked on his casket!"
Even Ozpin felt that was utterly low of them, and Ruby took a dollar from Yang for the jar.
Mercury was sitting in the crowd with the others actively flirting it up with Yang Xiao Long. (Yang: Isn't he one of the Haven transfers?) Oum was letting him have a little luck, as he was the only one not to go on that night out. (Yang: Oh, well he's spared my hate.)
"Where's Jaune?" Nora thought.
"Did I not check in with my team?" Jaune asked.
"Considering you're focused on revenge, you probably did not." Blake said.
A loud blaring Dixie horn broke the quiet, as out of nowhere, a familiar limo speeds up running over both Russel and Sky. Sky had his throat crushed while Russel had his legs crushed under the wheel. Nora was laughing over this and while everyone had mixed reactions. The casket shattered sending the body on top the driver's window. Jaune coolly activated the wipers to remove the trash off his windshield before Velvet revved the engines sending blood to splatter all over the place before taking off.
Nora was laughing over seeing this as the death was played over the top. Jaune was even chuckling darkly alongside Ozpin.
"They missed Cinder and Emerald." Ren said only for Weiss to point out that the tale is not over yet.
Neo looked down at those corpses and decided that maybe she could get the hell out of Vale for a while. Roman did say he had a cousin in Patch who runs a spa, she thought.
"50 lien says she lives." Ruby says as everyone takes that bet.
Yang was betting that Neo is killed letting her distaste for the cute mute cloud her judgement.
(A Few More Days Later)
"So, did I go to classes or did I skip them?" Jaune asked.
"I don't even think that matters." Ozpin said eating a donut.
At a local restaurant, Cinder and Emerald were having lunch. Emerald was terrified and shaken up after all this. The last of CDRL was killed just yesterday in an unexplained death.
"Aw, we don't get to see Dove's death." Nora said with a pout.
"Listen Cinder, I'm freaking out. I don't want to die." Emerald said fearfully.
"It's sad that all this could have been avoided if they had paid Jaune and Velvet." Weiss said a bit saddened. "Was being cheap worth it? No."
Cinder slapped her. (Glynda: I'm doing to some investigating on our Cinder.)
"Calm down. Remember, we have a plan. If we are to succeed with the invasion with Salem (Ozpin spat out his donut.), I can't have you acting cowardly." Cinder said in a low tone. "Now get your shit together."
Emerald got up to use the restroom. As she sat to use the toilet, she heard a noise that should not be in the ladies' room, the squeak of a car tire. She looked down see a wheel of a car roll up alongside the stall door and it was stained in blood.
"Wait, how did Jaune and Velvet get a limo in a bathroom?" Weiss questioned.
"Should you really be questioning that?" Jaune asked with a raised eyebrow.
Emerald's eyes widened in horror. It was a good thing she was already on the toilet because her bowels pretty much emptied themselves in fear. (Ruby: Ha!) Then the car went on its way getting Emerald to sigh in relief.
"So, she's not dying?" Nora asked. "That's a shame."
"Oh, thank Oum." Emerald said getting up to hike her pants up before flushing.
She could have questioned it, but she opened the door. She was a deer caught in headlights as car light shined on her. The horn blared again as the limo drove up crushing her lower body against the wall smashing the toilet. Death was swift for Emerald as her blood poured down the drain in the stall intermixed with the filthy toilet water. Velvet marked another X.
"And there was only Cinder." Ozpin said. "I have a feeling this last one will trump this one."
"How are they getting away with this?!" Weiss asked.
"Weiss, stop overthinking it." Jaune said eating off a slice of pizza.
(A Few Hours Later, TEAM CENM's Room, Beacon Academy)
It may have been late at night, but Cinder was packing her bags. No way, she was staying here any longer. Salem be damned. (Ozpin: Ha. Seems your errand girl is cutting and running.) She frantically packed her clothes completely ignoring Mercury playing video games with Yang. (Yang decided to ignore that.) She ran for the bullhead to Vale before getting to the nearest airport. She paid for her ticket and boarded before the plane took off. Leaning back on her comfortable seat, she thought she got away scot-free. She looked the window not expecting anything at all, but her hot blood ran cold at she saw.
"What, Jaune and Velvet on the edge of the plane?" Weiss asked sarcastically.
On the wing of the plane WAS THE LIMO! (Weiss: HOW?!) She could see Jaune and Velvet waving at her before blaring that horn both having slasher smiles that would convince Salem to take a few steps back. The limo was speeding towards Cinder as she frantically tried to get her seatbelt off to run. She did not get far as the limo drove through the plane mowing her down in the process as she screamed in agony. The passengers screamed frantically before the plane blew up a massive explosion ironically putting out the half Maiden. Unknowingly, Velvet and Jaune had saved Amber's life.
"So, is anyone going to bring up the fact that Jaune and Velvet murdered everyone on that plane?" Pyrrha asked.
"How did it stick on the plane's wing?" Weiss screamed.
"With gravity dust?" Ruby suggested.
Weiss's eye twitched and she dumped a roll of lien bills into Ruby's swear jar before cursing a storm.
Floating down were a happy Jaune and Velvet who had parachutes. Velvet had Jaune cross out the last face leaving only Neo left. (Ruby: Neo lives! /Yang: Damn it!)
"We got our revenge. Now what?" Jaune remarked.
Velvet had a dirty look on her face.
"You. Me. On the kitchen table." Velvet thought. (Jaune blushed and Pyrrha fell over.)
It goes to show you, beware the nice ones. When they snap, they snap hard. (Ozpin: Called it.)
Owari.
The TV went black and Yoshi came up asking how their experience was only to nearly get decked by Weiss.
"Now, I will send you back for now. For now, you all probably should kill Cinder Bitch considering the bit about her working for Salem and being half a Maiden is a constant." Yoshi said handing Jaune and Ruby a special firearm. "Cinder happens to be the reason Pyrrha and Penny will die in the future. So, I recommend you return the favor by blowing her brains out."
"With pleasure!" Ruby and June said darkly.
"Well, be seeing you all. Your weapons will be returned to you when you return!" Yoshi said as the portal formed on the side of the wall."
"Thanks for the good time." Blake said as the group exited through the portal.
Yoshi was alone in the empty theater and turned to face the viewers.
"Thank you all for sticking around for this miniseries. Don't expect this often as the idea of doing this and the One Piece one is scary. No, this is not my job to do. I only hope someone else does this justice." Yoshi said with a sigh. "College is really rough."
A pile of textbooks fell on top of him as he groaned out in mild discomfort.
"Textbooks…my only weakness." The swordsman groaned.
To Be Continued…?
