It's been 6:00 pm and Soda Wrld is still not in his apartment. It's been nearly 6:50 pm, and he still has things to do right now! Jaune waits for Soda patiently, and there are few reasons why he is being late. One is that he's in the club for a party. Two, maybe he was at the firing ranges, testing out some new guns of his. And three...
Jaune snaps out of his thoughts when he heard the door creaks. He glanced as he saw Soda Wrld wearing a purple hood, dark blue jeans, and high-cut sneakers. Jaune glared at him as he taps his foot on the floor.
"Hey, I thought you'll be here at 6?" Jaune questioned as Soda walks to his bed removing his shoes
"Sorry, my bad, me and the boys just discuss some stuff." Soda said as he lies down on Jaune's bed.
"Anyway, what are you here for?" Jaune asked
"Just hanging out." Soda shrugged as he scrolls his social media, and Jaune quirks his eyebrows.
"Yeah right"
Jaune then thinks about what will be his next upload in his Vstream channel. He thought about another classical piece since his classic was just a bunch. Or, maybe trap remix. Well since trap remixes are too overrated, then it's a no to go. He thinks of a piece of music that is something relaxing and chill, and that is low-fidelity.
He opens the music software on his computer. Jaune starts to prepare his instruments that he might need like a piano, a launchpad, and a guitar. But, there is only one thing before he starts to make his music.
He doesn't know where to start... for now.
Jaune can't think of anything for his new lo-fi track. Like what kind of beat he will use, how can he caught his listener's emotion or vibe, and so on? He must think of something new in this track.
"Hey man, can I smoke in here?"
He glances at Soda who was taking his cigarettes and starts to light it up.
"Please, Jared, don't you even think about it!" Jaune glared at Soda as he already lits up his cigarette
"Too late, man," Soda puffs his cigarette and grinned, getting more annoyed.
"Dammit! Ok! Just use the window so the smoke will come out, I'm trying to focus here!" Jaune pouted as Soda complies and goes to the window and smokes
"You're the boss,"
As Soda smokes from the window, he glances at Jaune who was having a hard time creating another track. His mind wandered around focusing on puffing his cigarette. Then his mind lights up like a light bulb as he walks to Jaune causing him to glance.
"You want to make a track with me? Right here, right now?"
Back to Team RWBY's dorm.
While Yang is busy for searching another song. Weiss thinks about the previous song that Jaune sang. She was thinking about it lately, and she feels like this song was meant for her. But right now, Weiss wants to know Jaune more. She might know it through his songs that he create, so she was looking forward for it.
As Yang keeps looking for another song. She saw something that really interests her, the title of the video is called 'Til' I Collapse'.
"Til' I Collapse? That is one title for a song." Nora commented as she eats her pancakes
"Ok, you guys ready?" Yang asked as everyone nodded and start to press the play button "Here we go!"
(Til' I Collapse by Eminem)
As the video starts to play, It shows Jaune who was in a bathroom filled with graffiti all over the walls, the sinks were dirty, the lights flickering time to time, and the toilets are dirty. He was facing the mirror wearing his favorite Pumpkin Pete hoodie with his hood on. His face is filled with sweat and nervousness.
"What is this filthy place that Jaune's into?! The bathroom is full of vandalized graffiti!" Weiss exclaimed in disgust
"Yeah what she said, and look at all of those graffiti. The people who visit there really ruins it." Ruby commented
"Well if you guys ask me, this place looks like a club's bathroom or some sort." Yang stated
"Ok Jaune, you got this, just like you practice." Jaune muttered to himself in front of the mirror as he pulls out a few pieces of paper with full of writings and erasures. He tries to sing it in rap with a full of mumbling words release in his mouth.
"Wait! Is Jaune tries to rap?" Blake questioned
"Yeah, and from the sound of his voice, he sound so nervous." Nora commented
"I think Vomit-boy is joining a rap battle." Yang stated as she drinks her soda.
Jaune then choke his words and pause momentarily. He is suddenly rushes to the toilet bowl and vomit out of nervousness.
They winced when they saw their blonde dork vomit out of nowhere.
"Yup, that's why 'Vomit-boy' is his nickname." Yang giggled causing them to glare at the buxom brawler.
"Yang, not funny," Pyrrha glared holes at Yang.
"Hehe, sorry P-money, another bad joke I guess." Yang nervously chuckled and scratches the back of her head
Jaune snaps out of his trance as he was being called. He stands up feeling groggily and leaves the bathroom.
As Jaune steps in the stage, he saw a crowd of audiences. The crowd was cheering wildly as Jaune's opponent who was a dog faunus, waiting for him.
"Ready to lose, ass?" the dog faunus sneered
"Like hell I would." Jaune retorted as the rap battle is about to begin.
"Yeah go show him how you rap, Jaune-Jaune!" Nora cheered
"Nora, we still don't know if Jaune can rap" Ren sighed
As the rap battle starts, the dog faunus' bars and line were savage and clean. And so far his opponent is good. Now it's Jaune's turn, he starts to rap and so far so good until he chokes. No words came out of his mouth as the crowd went silent and starts to booed Jaune.
"BOO!" the crowd shouted with the thumbs down
"That's it? That's all you got?!" the dog faunus sneered as he takes his hand and grab his neck in a choking manner and mocks him. Jaune can't say a single and the only thing that he did is to walk away as everyone starts to laugh.
They can't help but to feel bad for Jaune. It's his first rap battle they assumed and it ended up worst for him.
"What's with this people laughing at him! If I was there I will break their legs!" Nora shouted in anger
"Nora, I think it's just acting since this is a music video. But if this is really happening, don't" Ren said to his hammer-wielder partner
"Well this isn't a good start for Jaune's rap battle." Pyrrha said sadly
As for Jaune, he walks out of the underground club as he wandered to the streets. He sits down on a bench and pulls out his papers, tears it into pieces in anger as he slumps down. The music starts to play and starts to rap for real.
'Cause sometimes you just feel tired, you feel weak
And when you feel weak you feel like you want to just give up
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you want to just fall flat on your face and collapse
'Til I collapse I'm spilling these raps long as you feel 'em
'Til the day that I drop you'll never say that I'm not killing 'em
'Cause when I am not then I'm a stop pinning them
And I am not hip-hop and I'm just not J-n-A
Their jaws drop once more when they heard Jaune rap for real. Seems like Jaune didn't fail to impress them.
"Hah, I knew Jaune can rap!" Ruby cheered with her eyes filled with adoration.
"Yeah! This is the type music that pumps my hype!" Yang grinned, she knew Vomit-boy can do it.
"I maybe not a fan of this kind of genre, but I can say I'm impressed." Blake said with a pleasant smile.
Subliminal thoughts when I'm stop sending them
Women are caught in webs spin and hock venom
Adrenaline shots of penicillin could not get the illin' to stop
Amoxicillin is just not real enough
The criminal cop killing hip-hop filling a
Minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners
You're coming with me, feel it or not
You're gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of god lives in us
"Ok I'm really, really impressed, although I can barely catch up to the song. But what does he mean 'criminal cop killing hip-hop'?" Weiss asked in curious.
"There is one rapper who became popular but was sent to jail, it was Tripac. Before Tripac does some illegal stuff and the corrupt cops tries to put Tripac in jail." Yang stated
"Then, is he still in jail?" Weiss questioned.
"They said that he was dead, they said that he just faked it. I dunno" Yang answered.
You hear it a lot, lyrics that shock, is it a miracle
Or am I just a product of pop fizzing up
For shizzle my whizzle this is the plot listen up
You Bizzles forgot Slizzle does not give a fuck
'Til the roof comes off, till the lights go out
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth.
'Til the smoke clears out and my high perhaps
I'm a rip this shit till my bone collapse.
'Til the roof comes off, till the lights go out
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth.
'Til the smoke clears out and my high perhaps
I'm a rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Team RWBY and NPR starts to bobbed their heads. They can really feel the hype in their veins with full of determination and motivation.
"Jaune really gives us the determination huh. Hearing this music really wants to make me train harder, and I'm put this in my playlist." Yang said as she keeps bobbed her head
"Agreed, I won't lie, this really makes me want to train more." Pyrrha said
Music is like magic there's a certain feeling you get
When you're real and you spit and people are feeling your shit
This is your moment and every single minute you spittin'
Trying to hold onto it 'cause you may never get it again
So while you're in it try to get as much shit as you can
And when your run is over just admit when it's at its end
'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half the shit that gets in
I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in;
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tripac and Biggie
Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me
But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy
So when I'm not put on this list the shit does not offend me
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me
Even though half you people got a fuckin' problem with me
You hate it but you know respect you've got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney, Nate hit me
'Til the roof comes off, till the lights go out
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth.
'Til the smoke clears out and my high perhaps
I'm a rip this shit till my bone collapse
'Til the roof comes off, till the lights go out
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth.
'Til the smoke clears out and my high perhaps
I'm a rip this shit till my bone collapse
"Jaune really killing it! Even if I can barely understand his rap!" Ruby squeled as her teammates chuckled at there team leader's antics.
"Even I myself can really understand it, but in every verse that Jaune raps. I can feel his dedication when it comes to this." Ren stated as they nod in agreement
Soon as a verse starts I eat at an MC's heart
What is he thinking? Enough to not go against me, smart
And its absurd how people hang on every word
I'll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve
But I'll never be served my spot is forever reserved
If I ever leave earth that would be the death of me first
'Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse
That's why I'm clever when I put together every verse
My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I'm an addict
I rap like I'm addicted to smack like I'm Kim Mathers
But I don't want to go forth and back in constant battles
The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers'
So this is like a full blown attack I'm launching at 'em
The track is on some battling raps who want some static
'Cause I don't really think that the fact that I'm Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I'm not the baddest
'Til the roof comes off, till the lights go out
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth.
'Til the smoke clears out and my high perhaps
I'm a rip this shit till my bone collapse.
'Til the roof comes off, till the lights go out
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth.
'Til the smoke clears out and my high perhaps
I'm a rip this shit till my bone collapse.
I will not fall
I will stand tall
Feels like no one can beat me
(End song)
All of them applause and cheer hard. They really love his rap and it really gives them the hype and everything.
"THAT. IS. THE. BEST. RAP SONG. EVER!" Yang and Nora began to praised in unison as they pump there fist
"Well done Jaune, well done." Ren chuckled as he gently claps.
"Wait, look there is still more in this video." Weiss pointed as everyone tilted their heads and looks back to the screen.
The video transitions to Jaune in Team JNPR's dorm fixing the camera. He looks around to see if anyone is around and clears his throat.
"So hi everyone, I hope you guys like my first rap song." Jaune said with a cheeky smile.
"No we don't like it! We love it Jaune, and you're rap sooo~ good!" Nora giggled
"So uhh, in the music video. It really happened that I vomit in that time, I was so nervous that I lose my calm in my first underground rap battle. At that time everyone really laughed at me as I walk out. And that was the worst start as a underground rapper." Jaune said as he looks down somberly.
"Don't be so down Jaune. You really kill it back there." Ruby said in reassurance
"Hmph, he should be more confident and proud to his amazing skill." Weiss said as she crossed her arms
"Well Ice queen, that is the first time that I heard you give our good ol' Vomit-boy a compliment" Yang teased with a smirk
"I can give compliments to him Xiao Long." Weiss huffed with a tinge of pink blush crept in her cheeks
"But..." Jaune heads up with determination "I practice and practice until I perfected it, and won the rap competition. So I just wanna say that, we all have our weakest moments. Whether it's a rap battles or my sparring matches, I've always been the greenest in my team. But if your dedicated, determined, and motivated to achieve your dreams. Then you will reach to the top, and I hope one day I can catch up to my team. So you must work hard and train hard til' your bones collapse!" Jaune end his speech with a fist bump as the video ends as well.
All them felt inspired at Jaune's short speech. And they're willing to help him to make him stronger.
"Well if Vomit-boy wants to get strong, then I will teach him some hand-to-hand combat." Yang said thinking about some few sparing sessions for Jaune
"Yeah, while I will make Jaune to have some muscles and obtain the 'Thunder Thighs'" Nora grinned as she stomps her foot like a sumo wrestler that made the floor shake, and it made them startle a bit.
"I'm glad that all of you will help Jaune to achieve his goal to be more stronger." Pyrrha said feeling glad and appreciated that there were friends that will be by Jaune's side.
"No worries P-money we all will help Vomit boy, right." Yang said as the rest of Team RWBY nod.
"Okay now for another song, your turn to pick little sis." Yang gives the remote to Ruby. She take a scroll down and sees the title 'The Resistance' as she starts to play the video.
The video starts with Jaune and his band as they assumed. He was in a stage with a lots of crowd cheering as the rock n' roll begins.
(The Resistance by Skillet (Lyric Video))
I am a nation, I am a million faces
Formed together, made for elevation
I am a soldier, I won't surrender
Faith is like a fire that never burns to embers
(Who's gonna stand up, who's gonna fight?)
The voice of the unheard
(Who's gonna break these chains and lies?)
Love is the answer
I gotta speak it, believe it, that's how I feel inside
(I) I (I), can't, can't sit here quiet
"Yeah! Rock music! I'm starting to love this!" Ruby shouted in her cutesy voice while doing a rock pose.
"I really hate rock because on how loud it is, but I'm starting to take a like to it." Blake stated even her cat ears were folding on how loud the song is.
"And who's the girl? I love her voice." Yang complimented as she wondered on who this girl is.
You can take my heart, you can take my breath
When you pry it from my cold, dead chest
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
are you listening?
Sleeping in the shadows, could be making history
(Walk) through the fire, (walk) on the water
Used to be a slave, but now you are a conqueror
"I've never know rock can be this quite amazing." Weiss said as she starts to take a liking the rock genre.
"And the lyrics of the song, I can feel the energy that pumps in me." Ren chimed
For Blake, she hears the lyrics of it and thinks about the White Fang and the faunus. Although the White Fang chose the wrong path to achieve "equality". But soon the faunus will achieve equality not by violence, but through peaceful movement. Blake held these and hoping that the faunus will rise up. She also appreciates that Jaune makes her motivated and dedicated to do so.
They can take my heart, they can take my breath
When they pry it from my cold, dead chest
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
Up, up, up, up, up
We're rising up, up, up, up, up
The voice of the unheard
Rising up, up, up, up, up
We're rising up, up, up, up, up
Love is the answer
Rising up, up, up, up, up
We're rising up, up, up, up, up
Love is the answer
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
"Ohh this really makes me pumped up!" Ruby squealed
"You don't have to say it Rubes, because I can feel it as well!" Yang stated as both of the sisters were doing the rock pose which made them chuckled at their antics.
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
(End Song)
"Yeah! That's what I called rock music!" Ruby applaused and giggled whimsically
"To be honest, I never know that Jaune can do rock." Weiss stated
"And what's more that Jaune has his own band! Oh and kudos to them by the way." Nora mused.
"Do you guys think on what his band name is?" Blake wondered
"Well let's find out, the video is not yet over. And I think Jaune will tell us." Pyrrha suggested
As the lyric video and, it shows Jaune in his usual hoodie. He was in the back stage as he starts to greets them.
"Hello guys, I hope you like the rock song. Oh I just wanna say that this is not my band. This my sister's band, since there vocalist is out of town. My sister decided to take me for there gig." Jaune stated as he chuckled
"If guys wondering what is there band name is. The name is "Skills to Let" so yeah hehe". Jaune let out a giggled as the video ended.
They also chuckled because of the silly band name. But still, they did a good job for making this music. They wondered, how is Jaune doing right now?
Now speaking of Jaune. He and Soda Wrld finished there track, as they were at downtown so he can buy some good food in the convience store. But he must accompanied Soda to the parking lot to get his car and go home.
"Hey man, thanks for keeping me company until I get to my car." Soda thank in appreciation
"No worries, we still have schedule for tomorrow. So you must go home now." Jaune said as Soda nod until they reach the parking lot, showing Soda's Black Vugattie Baron. Jaune really likes the car and it looks so cool.
"A'ight man, see ya little bro." Soda said his farewell as they made they bump there fist and gets in his car.
As Soda leaves, Jaune walks to go to the convience store. While walking he takes his scroll and visits Vstream, he scrolls down to look what is trending now. And something caught Jaune's attention. It was some rising star who is named...
"Seraphine"
