Chapter 4.5: first intermission
Hey guys so i'm not dead. Hope you enjoy. this chapter is to set up a few worlds or stories. So be on the Lookout for some references.
And to those of you who like the chapter thanks for your support and I'll try to get the training arc of bleach out quickly but word of warning i still haven't decided what part jaune will play. Currently I plan for him as either ichigo, zangetsu, or urahara. Once I made up my mind then the chapter can be finished much quicker, But onto the disclaimer
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. If i did cinder would have died a painful death in volume 3.
When we last left the group had split apart into the different rooms to explore or goof around until the screen was fixed. Speaking of which lets check on slayer.
"SON OF A WHORE!" this doesn't bode well. We see slayer reeling back in pain. holding his burnt hand, as spark shot out of the device he was working and the screen flashing 'fuck you' across it entirity.
"Okay, then you scrap heap. I'm a beat ya' until you decide to work with me." He says before he pulls the massive slab of metal off his back and charge the machine intending to teach it a lesson.
...let's check on him in a bit. How bout we check the kitchen real quick and see how ruby, nora, and ren are doing.
"Look at all this food!" nora shouts with glee looking at a large heated buffet table of different foods with little sign next to each dish. Nora and ruby are drooling, while rens stomach growls in hunger what was before him. They all take to different areas of the table to get what thought would be the most delicious.
Nora rushes over to part of the table that holds her favorite food and reads the little sign while digging into the soft doughed treat with fervor
"Bacon pancakes by universe a0083 jaune arc: video jaune. What! fearless leader never makes me bacon pancakes; no fair alternate me hogging all the bacony, pancakey goodness to yourself." she grumbles out before stuffing another pancake in her mouth with a giant grin on her face.
Ren is slowly walking down the table looking for something to catch his attention. As he continues on he comes across an oddly named dish.
"Fake pork roast by universe sh069 jaune arc: chef arc." ren muses the name before looking at the dish before deciding to take a bite. Picking up a fork from nearby he cut in to the 'roast' and got moderate piece for himself to dig into.
Meanwhile near the desserts we see the young ruby rose digging into the pile of cookies made by universe a0001 summer rose. Tears of joy were leaking from her eyes as she gets remember her mother in such a way and getting to have her cookie fix didn't hurt either.
"MMMMMMMMMNNNN~~~~~" a moan was heard by both ruby and nora from their little corners of the room. they both turn and see it was ren who made sound with a look of pure pleasure on his face with his fork still in his mouth.
Ren then snaps back to reality both he sees both ruby and nora are looking at him. Nora looking with a mischievous grin on her face and a glint in her eye. Ruby looking a little weirded out that he moaned over a piece of food. Ren blushes for the briefest of moments, then he straightens up and says as serious as he could, "what? it was very delicious"
He then put his plate away and walks out the room not even looking at either of them. Nora and ruby look at each other before deciding to leave the room as well snickering the entire way.
Welp this is awkward let's go check the library.
We see ozpin and blake scouring what looks like a castle sized library as the walls were covered with shelves containing what seemed to be an endless amount of books. Scattered amongst the room are chairs and artifacts in glass containers.
"Bart would have a field day in here" ozpin snickers out looking into one of the cases. The case contained a large axe with a wooden handles and a pair of twin blades with chains on their handles. The metal plate under the glass was too scratched and scuffed for the weapons names or any info about them to be understandable except for one little bit . all that was left on it was the original universe they were from; weapon of universe g00w4 jaune: god title cause ozpin to raise a brow wondering if his student was given that title out of fear for his skill or was he a real divine being like the ones he met in his first life.
He turns, trying to take his mind off the past, to the next exhibit piece that shows a manikin in a white kimono top and tattered dark blue hakama pants, it also has an eye patch on its head. Next to the manikin is a weapon stand holding a pair of matchlock rifles. The headmaster looked at the percuelier outfit wondering if it came from the menagerie. He look to where the plate was only to see '第六天の悪魔王のレガリア' from universe d0002 jaune: daimyo jaune.
"Daimyo, that's a new one. I wonder if that means he isn't my student in this world" ozpin muses, feeling a bit disappointed that this jaune chose something else instead of becoming a huntsmen like his other students. He was a good student and didn't want to lose someone like him
"However i wish i knew what this writing before it means. It seems important somehow." the headmaster questions having never seen such writing before in his world. He then shrugs a continues to wonder about looking for something else to catch his eye.
On the other end of the library a very grumpy blake is seen mildly perusing the shelves "I can't believe this place is this huge but it doesn't have a copy of ninjas of love!" she thought glumly on missing out on her po.. I mean erotic literature.
Blake continues looking for something else to read when she saw something on a pedestal. It was a medium sized leather bound book with jaunes symbol printed on it in gold ink. Blake reach and flipped open the cover to see the title of this book "the photo manifest of jaune arc". Rather confused by this title she flipped to the first page which had 3 pictures in it each with different titles underneath them.
Looking at the first picture we see jaune in a school uniform sitting at a table with a girl sitting on his lap trying to feed him some food. The girl in question was none other than pyrrha nikos wearing a red dress, black stockings, and black boots; with a white hair band that had little red horns on it. The title read my darling and I sharing lunch.
"Well that certainly an odd choice in pet names. But it is pyrrha so i can be a little understandable.`` Blake thought however even if she knew it wasn't her worlds jaune she still gripped the book a little tighter feeling a rare amount of possessiveness over jaune. However the feeling went away as quickly as they came to her.
She looked at the next picture only to see what looked like a concert with four people on stage singing to the crowd. She stared at the four people on the stage and started to recognize them. the first was a bald man with a pair of goggles on his head, along with a large beard on his face. He was wearing a lab coat over a red shirt and black pants. She found out it was neptune thank to his blue haired beard and his tan.
Next was rather tall, light skinned man with cornrows and a long nose. He was wearing a gilded black and gold armor set with a large cape. On the back of his hand was three triangles forming a larger triangle. The pink eyes and black haired convinced her that this was ren.
The third member had long grey hair and dark gray eyes. he wore a black open trench coat and black skinny jeans with black boots. However the most striking thing about this man is that he had one large black feathered wing coming out of his back. She didn't know this man as well as the other three but she could remember from meeting cinder falls team. What was his melvin.. merlin… mercury! That was it.
The final member was the one with the most startling changes to him. The second tallest member of the group with wild, shaggy blond hair with reddish black tips. He had two short horns coming off the sides of his head and bright red slitted eyes. He had a small spiky, green shell on his back and a long reptilian tail coming off his butt .He was wearing a black biker jacket and a red wife beater with a hole for his shell to poke through the back of it. He was wearing black leather pants with the same accommodations for his tail and a pair of black combat boots with a spike in front of it. Blake eyes widened taking in jaunes form as this wasn't the first reptilian faunus . But he was the first one to have this many animal traits to him. She shook her head and looked at the title: B3 performing princess live in concert.
Blake shook her head with a grin at the idea of jaune, ren, mercury, and neptune forming a boy band like that. She gave a giggle before looking at the last picture
It was jaune in group picture. Jaune was standing the tallest being a full grown adult wearing a blue shirt and blue pants with a green vest over his chest. On his face was a mask that covers the bottom half of his face and an iron plaited headband tilted to cover one of his eyes. He wore metal plated fingerless gloves which had atop two of the other people in the photo. With him was a younger ruby wearing a red jumpsuit with the same headband as jaune. Next to her, was ren of the same age wearing a green dress shirt and white pants with his headband holding his long hair back. And finally on the opposite end of the picture is pyrrha wearing a red high collared shirt and black shorts. Ruby and pyrrha were glaring at each other while ren was smiling and jaune was ...eye smiling? The title read : jaune's team 7 picture.
Blake smiled at the team photo, thinking back to her team and kinda wishing they did the same thing. She closed the book and decided to check if the screen was fixed. Meanwhile, on the other side of the library ozpin is looking at a painting of five people, one of which was their host in this world but he looked a little different than what they see now.
This slayer had longer hair reaching down his back and the tips of his hair were a dark black. He was wearing a dark karate pants, a one shouldered red gi top, And a pair of black sandals. His horns were now 8 inches long; his forearms and hands were covered in black scales, he had a large draconic tail, and finally he had two large black scaled wings. In his hands was mala beads and in the center of his forehead was a blood red jewel. The ground under him was scorched as if his mere presence was burning everything away.
Next to him was a man that held a striking resemblance to him. this man had two, 7 inch deer-like antlers sprouting his white hair with blue tips. his hands had long, talon-like nails and he had a long white scaled, serpent like tail. He was wearing a long white mage robe over his body and he carried a wooden ground beneath him was frozen as if there was a flash freezing blizzard.
On slayer other side stood a man with pure blue hair standing taller than either the rest of them. The man had two fox ears and a large blue fox tail. He was wearing a blue karuta sashinuki style kote with white lacquered steel han kote style forearm guards along with white lacquered steel suneate and haidate. Under the armor, he wears a teal shitagi, yugake and hakama tied with a white himo where he ties his swords. He also wears a pair of cotton waraji over white tabi. In his hands was a white recurve bow and on his back was a blue quiver filled with arrows. The ground around was soaked as if hit by a large rain storm.
Behind them was another large man wearing leather armor with a leather hood covering his face. The man carried an axe in each hand. The land around was over growing to the point that it almost looked like a forest.
The final person in the picture was a person of indistinguishable gender. Wearing a pink kimono with long sleeves and wooden sandals. They have black hair that went to their neck. They also had lion ears on their head, large bat wings, and a scorpion tail. Their hair was blowing as if they were in a windstorm. a glint of metal can be seen in the person's sleeves.
Ozpin finds the title to this piece and begins frowning as if he saw something that disgusts him. 'Divine convergence: slayer king: God of fire, darkness, and judgement. Ruler of the pit. Leon king: God of ice, light, and peace. Ruler of the aether. Cerulean archer: god of water, fate, and luck. Ruler of the seas. Pioneer: god of nature, survival, and the hunt. Ruler of forest. Rezzy orcbolg: divine of wind, change, and freedom. The divine traveler. He then scoffed and walked away from the room intent to find his students.
Odd but oh well, Lets go check out the game room…
We see a large arcade with thousands of different games scattered about. The walls were lined with different memorabilia and posters. The game room was separated into sections by some dividing walls: action/fighting to the west, musical games to the east, horror games to the north, and the entrance was to the south. The entry room had a few classic games like pacman, tetris, Donkey Kong, and the like.
"Oh c'mon; that bullshit!" qrow scream at a machine have just lost. The machine had a large black girl in a boxing pose, on the side with the words 'Punch Out' under the picture. "That final boss is so broken, just one hit and I'm out like a light."qrow thought as walked away from the machine to keep himself from punching it. He didn't want to break something that belongs to someone hasn't done anything to them yet (i.e. isn't an ass).
He wandered into the fighting game area the entrance had a poster of some kind a long sword with a demon skull for a guard. he found taiyang and his blonde niece playing against each other in a game called 'mortal kombat'.
"Ha i got you now old man!" Yang shouts loudly as she was on the offensive the entire match.
"Old man! It about time I teach you to respect your elders" tai replies. Before he unleashed a combo on her character before rushing in to finish her off with a fatality.
"Oh c'mon! Not fair at all." groaned the blonde brawler, losing the game against her father. Qrow just watches as they play another round, before deciding to leave them be. walking over to the music area; he saw a case above the entrance to the section with a black v-neck guitar, it was labeled clementine. Ass he wander into the area he saw the mini ice queen and the red haired girl dancing on some kind of large pad in front of another game machine with the letters 'DRR' on the upper front of it. He snickered as the champ seemed to stumble trying to keep up the games directions.
He then saw a game with a guitar hanging off it called 'Guitar Hero'. As he went to try his hand at the game he heard.
"WILL ALL PERSONNEL RETURN TO THE THEATER!"
Qrow gave a sigh before walking out of the room along with the rest of the would be gamers began to return to slayer's room.
When they entered the room the other members of their group were already there, along with a new man working on the screen with slayer. The man stood 6'1, with white hair and deer antlers coming off his head. The man was wearing a white hoodie, blue jeans, and blue sneakers. On his hips were two holstered pistol; one pitch black and other a shining silver. He was wearing round white sunglasses that hid his eyes from view.
"Okay lets see if this works." the new man said turning some knobs inside the machine.
"URRUURHRHGH" at that sound both slayer and the new guy hit the machine with a pair of large wrenches. The machine started working with no problem after that.
"SHE LIVES!" Slayer yells in rejoice as the new guy and a couple of the returning people snickers at him. Upon hearing extra amount of snickering, they then noticed the crowd had returned.
"Oh your back. Right, everyone this is man who helped fix the screen is my brother leon" slayer said without a care in the world.
Leon just wave at them and says "I hope you guys like the world I requested earlier."
"Which one was that again?" Ruby asked generally curious.
Leon smirks and says with a smile, "the pirate one. Always love that world." leon then turns and walks out the door bidding slayer a goodbye.
"Well now that the screens fixed let get the show on the road." Slayer says getting the world loaded up for them to watch. The audience takes their seats ready to see another reality that could change their perspective on things. Some were happy with how they spent that break, some were curious to what they'll see next, but one was paranoid never taking his eyes off the creator being in front of them. After all; One can never be too trusting with a god in their company.
There ya guys go hoped ya enjoyed this. Again sorry for the long wait. my job has me working 5 days of the week with the only time I have off being the night or weekends. and the painting is actually something i came up with on the fly. so i asked three of my friends and my brother for an animal; mythical or not; and they chose the Chinese dragon(leon), a blue kyubi(cerulean), a manticore(rezzy), and a bear(pioneer). though i don't let that last one show as much as the others. the forms that me and my brother are in when were with the cast of rwby, are in my brothers words a restricted form. it limits the power we let out and can use in exchange for interacting with 'mortal'. we are still kill able just very hard to be killed. and he was the one he said i should rule the pit as a reason why i can't bring the dead people to this viewing space
And if you are curious, the kanji is supposed to mean :Regalia of the demon king of the sixth heaven. But i don't know if google gave the correct translation.
Also not every reference will be made into a chapter or be made right away. So please don't get your hopes up about me doing something like god of war right away. jaune won't always be the main character. Sometimes it's better if I make him the supporting character as it might fit better. Like the last chapter, I had jaune be archer; because vol. 4 jaune was the same level of angst as archer was. so at the time it made sense to make him archer, instead of shiro.
And to wrap this up, again thanks for your support guy i love you guys and I'm going to keep trying to get these chapters out at a faster pace.
