Chapter 11: Say My Name
Hey guys, here's another chapter just a little later than expected. So I have wanted to do a musical chapter for a while now and was stuck on which to do first Hamilton, Count of Monte Cristo, and Jekyll & Hyde. Finally, I decided on doing Beetlejuice, because it's the funniest and I figured I'd at least have some fun before jumping back to anime, movies, cartoons, and video games once , I haven't seen the full musical yet, so I'm going to use the 'full' animatic as a reference.
Anything with a '~' at the end is being sung. Those that are underlined are (BJ)Jaune's singing. Just so guys don't get confused when it starts. I would highly recommend listening to the sound track while reading this but it's up to you guys.
InternalFire: well thanks for the lesson about how shitty Ainz world is. Anyway I was thinking of doing some of the one punch man fights, so I'll see what I can do.
Haseo555: sorry you feel that way but I'm not going to change it.
Perseus12: good idea, it was a funny movie, so I might do that some other time.
Galvinias: glad you liked that little tidbit.
Van the Rogue Soul Drinker: like I said I may come back later. It's just hard picking anything from the series because it's so damn cool.
Anyway on with the show.
Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY or The Beetlejuice musical
The group settles down and waits for the screen to show them the next world.
"So what are we watching now?" Cinder asked tapping her nails boredly.
"Hmm. In this one the focus is Weiss." slayer began.
"Oh?" Weiss said/asked in concern.
"Alongside Jaune" he finished with a blank stare.
"Okay but what's wrong with this world?" Winter asked worried about her little sister.
"In this world, while there isn't the same stuff as last time. It does have ghosts and demons apparently." he responded to her. Causing several people to shiver.
"It ain't like the last one is it?" Qrow asked not wanting to see a demon like bendy again.
"No, he's just insane." the deity said causing some of them to relax.
"Okay what does vomit boy and ice queen have to do with it?" Yang asked curious on how those two have anything to do with demons and ghosts. Weiss gave a glare towards the brawler for that name.
"Well for one, Jaune is the demon. Two, Weiss is an only child and is suffering from depression after the loss of your mother, who you were very close to." Slayer said sadly causing both Schnee sisters to feel a little jealous that their mother wasn't that close to them.
"Anyway Weiss, After being depressed about her mom's passing for the last few months and her father not noticing her. She had just caught her dad and her life coach sleeping together. They both got into an argument which is now leading this depressed Weiss to do something drastic." Slayer informed them causing Weiss's brow to twitch in response.
"And Jaune?" Blake asked curios on how a demon Jaune is different from the other Jaunes they have seen.
"Jaune however is depressed over his lot in life. As a demon he is invisible to all living beings and the only way to fix that is to get someone alive to say his name three times in a row. The catch is he can't say it out loud, and he can't affect the living world except as illusions at best. Oh, and his name in this world is different once more." the deity said to the cat girl, who got even more curious at what Jaunes' name could be.
They all started to quiet down as the screen began to flicker.
The screen shows a middle-aged man with shoulder-length blonde hair, pointed ears, a bit of a beard on his face, and standing about 6 foot 2 inches (1.88 M) tall in a white and black striped suit staring out a window.
"Huh I thought he'd be more intimidating as a demon." Emerald said somewhat underwhelmed by his appearance.
"Yeah what's the difference between this guy and a regular ghost?" Mercury asked.
"Like I said he can't affect the living world, doesn't mean he can't fuck with the spiritual side of things" Slayer replied with a smirk
Jaune then did something none of them expected. He started to sing.
"You're invisible when you're me~
"There's no one to see my truth~
"If they could look up they see~" he sang to a melancholy tune as another Jaune appeared next to him and pointed to something outside.
"Wait is he singing? Why is he singing?" Weiss asked confused like the rest of them.
"Oh right, this is a musical by the way." Slayer said grinning at the sound of groans from the male members of the audience.
"Why a musical of all things?" Ozpin asked earning a look of annoyance from Glynda and Salem. Also gaining nods from the other men in the group.
"Because I want to listen to it! Now shut up!" slayer said dismissively.
"Hey somebody is on the roof~" the clone Jaune sang as they look through the window to see another Jaune standing there with a sad look on his face.
He floated upwards singing again "god it's mortifying~.
"What's the point of even trying~
"Cause now I'm trapped with no escape~" he sang as the other Jaunes faded away. He gave a quick spin before continuing his song flying higher than before.
"Banished, disavowed~
"I vanished like a cloud of dirty hipster vape~" he said as he made his limbs start to fade into smoke before pulling himself back together.
After Giving a few coughs from the smoke, he continued on with his song slightly glad no one saw that.
There were some snickers were heard at that part.
"Nobody said life's fair~
"I guess they will never see
"The demon who isn't there~
"You're invisible~ when yoOu~r'e ...me" he finished sadly looking downward with a sad face.
"Well I mean he isn't wrong about life not being fair." Roman muttered to Neo, who snickered in response.
"Hey what's he looking at now?" Ruby asked gaining everyone's attention.
"Woah what do we have here?" Jaune asked as he saw a young white girl wearing all black writing something while on the roof.
"By the time you read this. I, Weiss Schnee, will be gone. There's nothing for me here. I'm alone. Forsaken. Invisible" the fifth-teen year old Weiss said in tears. Jaune looked at her sadly.
"That makes two us." Jaune said in understanding. Weiss perked up before turning to glare at him.
"Who the hell are you?" She asked, not seeing him a minute ago.
"Wait I thought you said he couldn't be seen by the living." Nora asked confused.
"Well Weiss is in a special position." Slayer responded carefully.
"And that is?" the heiress asked.
"I- do not know! There are a couple theories one stating that you are just special. Others saying because you were close to death, but honestly I don't know.`` Slayer said in response.
"Can you see me?" Jaune asked in disbelief.
"Yeah" Weiss said carefully
"You can see me! I'm gonna have a new best Friiiii-eeee -nnnnd~"" he shouted in happiness jumping upwards with glee. He looked back and saw Weiss standing awfully close to the edge.
"So uh what brings you to the roof?" Jaune asked worried about her answer.
"I'M GONNA JUMP!" she shouted at him as she started to ready herself.
"NNNNNOOOOO!" he screamed grabbing onto her and pulling her back
"Don't do it Weiss!" Ruby shouted grabbing her partner into a bear hug.
"You have so much to live for!" Yang and Blake said in worry.
"Don't end yourself because father's an asshole!" Winter shouted at her sister on the screen.
The teachers began to sweat with worry in the idea of having to watch another student die in front of them.
Weiss smiled softly, as other members of the audience started shouting encouragement to her other self.
"Do a flip!" mercury said snicker. Only to cower in fear from the glares sent his way by everyone else in the audience.
Weiss looked at him weirdly.
"I mean no" he said as he decided to try to get her to say his name.
"Hey how about instead of impaling yourself on that bird bath. You, uh I don't know, say my name three times." he asked her hastily.
"Not happening weirdo." the white haired girl said blandly.
"Oh come on! Alright how about you tell me what's wrong and I'll see if I can fix it." the blonde demon offered with an annoyed look.
"Hmm. I don't know." she started, weighing her options before relenting and telling him everything. On the one hand if he could do something about it then it's good. On the other hand, well not like he could really stop her from jumping.
"Hmmm~ so your mother has died and you feel like your dad is moving too fast by getting hitched to this peppy woman named Lisa lavender?" Jaune asked the Gothic girl, who nodded in response.
"He also refuses to acknowledge you in any way other than saying that you should be more happy. This is a tough one." he finished, trying to think of a way to help her and himself.
"That's the long and short of it, I guess. I just wish he'd listen for once" the teen said looking towards the edge. Then Jaune gained a large grin across his face.
"I know how to help ya. You just need to get back at him somehow. Give him a spook. You could have him scream in terror. But you need something that won't backfire. So here's what I think you could use." the demon said as music started to play.
"Oh god! He isn't going to start singing again, is he?" Qrow grumbled, only to shut up after receiving glares from Glynda and Winter.
"You know for a demon I thought he'd be a little more clever on how he tricks mortals." Salem asked in a disappointed tone.
"He is being clever but it will just take a bit till he gets what he wants." Slayer said to the Grimm queen.
"You could use a buddy~" Jaune sang, giving a grin to the schnee and vanishing from sight
"don't you want a pal?~
"Yes I do, yes I do~" he sang in a girl voice appearing behind her.
"Girl the way I see it ~
"daddy should be leaving and you should stick around~
"And kill him~"
"What?" Weiss asked him.
"Nothing!" he replied innocently before flying out of reach
"So Weiss don't end yourself~
"Defend yourself~
"Daddy is the one you should maim~
"Together will exterminate, assassinate!~" he up next to her as he finish the verse
"No!" she told him
"The finer points can wait" he said unconvincingly
"But first you gotta say my name~
" so go ahead and jump but that won't stop him~
"You got a solid plan B option~
"I can bring your daddy so much pain~
"All you gotta do is say my name!~" he sang as Weiss started to look a little more convinced than before.
"Girl just it three times in a row~
"And you'll see how far I'll go~
"I'm on the bench~
"But coach all you gotta do is say my name~" he sung, flying up to her and patted her on the shoulder.
"Now I see it! make her believe that he can fix her problem but don't tell her the cost of saying his name. The Oldest trick in the book" Roman says with a smirk.
"Yeah but I don't think she'll really fall for it or even take the offer in the first place." Winter said confident in her sister's decision-making skills.
"Well, I don't know your name." she replied in an honest but cheeky voice.
"Well I can't say it!" Jaune said grumpily.
"How about a game of charades?" Weiss offered him
"Yes let's play it!" the demon shouted. He held two fingers.
"Two words." She stated getting an approval from Jaune, who then brought his fingers together and spread them a couple of times.
"Second word?" she asked
"Yup." he replied before creating a carton of liquid and a glass in his hands, he began to pour the drink into the glass.
"Drink?" her first guess which got her a 'no.'
"Beverage?" second guess got the same response
"Wine?" third guess and still no luck
"Juice?" she asked with some hope
"Yes!" he shouted before showing one finger this time.
"First word" she stated in a curious tone
"Uh huh" he said then showed a picture of an insect
"Bug?" she asked, which was wrong
"Ant?" she asked again, only to be wrong once more
"Beetle?" she said
"Yes!" he said happily
"Beetle juice?" Weiss asked wondering if that was even a real name someone could have.
"Who would their kid that?" Tai-yang asked.
"This coming from the guy who named his first daughter after him just removing the 'Tai' from it" Qrow said condescendingly. Tai gave him a glare while Ruby and Yang snickered at the two.
" Wow, I'm impressed. And all you have to do is say my name three times. Three times in a row It must be spoken unbroken." he said cheerfully before asking "ready?"
"Yeah" she responded with a snicker
"Okay, go!" (BJ) Jaune said with a large grin.
"Beetlejuice"
"Yes!" Jaune (BJ) said in excitement.
"Beetlejuice!"
"Yeeeess!" he said as his eyes started to glow with green light.
"BEeeeeeeeeeeeeee-" she started saying the third chant of his name.
"Oh, oh this is going to be so good!" Jaune(BJ) shouted as energy started to surround him.
"-cause" she finished with a grin
"What?" he responded in a stupor falling down, as Weiss began to sing
"You so smart~
"a stand up role~
"I'll think about offer ~
"I'll let you know~
"but I prefer my chances down below~" she sang getting close to the edge
"Beetlejuice(yes),Beetlejuice(yes!)" she started it again only to go back to saying
"being young and feeble doesn't mean I'm an easy mark~
"I've been swimming with piranhas, I don't need a shark~
"Yes life sucks but not that much~" she sings while looking him up and down with a sneer
"Pshhh~ wow that was harsh" Yang said snickering as everyone snorted or gave a chuckle.
"Okay Beetlejuice (eh), Beetlejuice(eh!) be a doll and spare the lecture~
" I'm offering you a full time spector~
"Are you any good?~
" You betcha, trust me baby!~
"I just met ya~
"Really it's a flattering offer~" she sang with a defiant grin
"Don't you wanna see dad suffer?~" Jaune responded with a matching grin showing off with fanged teeth.
"I think I'd rather jump off sir~" she replied leaning back over the edge.
"NO!" he shouted grabbing and pulling her back and away from her imminent demise
"I may be suicidal!~
"But Beetlejuice it's not as if I lost my mind~" Weiss sang/shouted at him.
"So playing hard ball, huh? You are tougher than you look." Jaune(BJ) asked, giving a grin to the goth girl. Which Weiss returned with her own.
"Just wanna make sure I know who I'm working with. Got any references?" she asked cheekily as a familiar man and woman floated up through the roof to meet them.
"Is that Blake and Sun?" ruby asked seeing her teammate and her friend just appear from nowhere.
"Did they just phase through the roof ? Are they ghosts?" Yang asked, hugging her teammate in worry.
"Yes, they died not too long ago and met Jaune not long after. He was trying to trick them into helping him but… they're just too nice or just suck at being scary." Slayer said much to the embarrassment of the cat girl in the room.
"Weiss there you are" Blake said in concern.
"Are you alright?" Sun asked with a worried look.
"S-dog, b-town. My old pals!" Jaune greeted with a chipper smile.
"You get away from her! Weiss this is a very dangerously, unstable individual!" Sun shouted to Weiss fear evident in his voice. Blake nodded along with his words.
"Okay? What did he do to cause that reaction?" mercury asked curiously.
"Tried to teach them how to be scary. His methods are a bit much…" Slayer said in an uneasy tone.
"How bad could it be?" the gray haired teen asked with his boss and her boss leaning forward curious as well to hear how he scares people away even ghosts.
"Anything from scary images to straight up trying to kill them is fine as long as the target is afraid by his standards, even if the target is dead." Slayer informed them gaining widening eyes from those who knew the real Jaune, scowls from Cinder's group over the stupid range the kid gave himself, and a slight chuckle from the grim queen who thought that this demon was amusing.
Jaune gave a scowl before jumping at the two of them and entering their bodies. The two clench their eyes shut before they snap open showing the same shade of blue Jaune has.
"Beetlejuice is sexy!" Blake shouted in a chipper tone
"Beetlejuice is smart!" Sun shouted in the same tone
"BJ is a graduate of Julliard." they said together.
"Wait what the fuck?what just happened" Blake asked with a terrified look on her face, slayer motioned that it will be explained in a bit.
"He can help~
"We found him on Yelp~
"Our troubles all ended~
"On the day that we befriended him~
"Every word is the truuuuth~
"Beetlejuice,Beetlejuice,Beetlejuice~" they both sang to Weiss before their eyes turned back to normal.
"What the heck was that?" Blake asked shaking her head
"So violating" Sun whined in disgust
"There you go kid a couple of five-star reviews." Jaune said reappearing next to Weiss who held a horrified expression before turning to anger.
"What was that?!" Weiss demanded from him, glaring at him with all she could.
"That was possession, any ghost can do that in less than one lesson" Jaune said smirking with his arms crossed
"Oh crap. That kinda creepy," Qrow said taking a sip from his flask.
"Yeah and to think he can possess a ghost. What would he do in a human body?" Raven pointed out with a bit of disgust in her voice.
"I don't think we should even ponder that idea." Doctor Oobleck said in worry.
"But didn't he just say any ghost could learn that?" Weiss asked the group.
"Yeah what about it." emerald said blankly
"Oh nothing I believe my other self shall explain soon enough.'' Weiss replied with a smug grin.
"Any ghost?" Weiss asked, gaining a knowing look and a smirk.
"Pretty much any ghost will do sure." Jaune said with a brow raised at her.
"Then Beetlejuice. What do I need you for?" she replied checking her nails. Jaune thought for a second as she got closer before his eye widened in fear.
"Woah woah woah woah woah~
"Hold up girl I'm you pal~
"Their sweet but I'm a demon sent straight from hell~
"I know I went a little hard on the sell~
"But we're BFFF's forever AHHHH!" Jaune screamed as he was pushed off the roof by the white haired teen.
"Weiss!" the couple shout at her.
"What he was already dead. Besides, you heard what he said any ghost can do that possession stuff" she replied.
"Geez, Weiss that was a little mean don't ya think?" Ruby asked the heiress who just shrugged in response.
"We don't need that demon~
"the three of us can wreck dads evening~
"Together we can make grown man weep~
"Guys got a dinner date to keep~" Weiss sang cheerifully
"Okay so what's the plan?" sun asked her
"Teach dad a lesson!
"He's gonna freak when we possess him~
"So he wants the perfect daughter
"I'm gonna lead that lamb to slaughter~" Weiss sang with a glare coming to her face
"I got game
"I gonna make him say my name
"Say your name ~" X3
"Gonna make say my name~" X2
"Not running away~ I'll make him say my name!" Weiss shouted as the screen fades to black
"Was that it?" Weiss asked a little upset that it was over already.
"Yeah sorry, but we have got to keep this show rolling." Slayer said before walking up and began programming the next batch of worlds.
"But how do I get my revenge?" Weiss asked the deity
"You have Blake and Sun possess not only Lisa and your dad but all the dinner guests and have them sing and dance to a song, it is hilarious but it doesn't do anything in the end." Slayer responded to her.
"Does Jaune ever come back ?" Ruby asks curious on how her other BFF would be
"Yes because Weiss summons him to get the job done right. Now let me focus." Slayer replied to her. The group talked among themselves as he typed away, so they could view the next few worlds.
Hey guys hope you enjoyed this and if not. Then oh well. Anyway, the next few chapters will be more chapters I picked from requests or from my personnel selection later guys.
Next time: "I set sail for one reason to meet you" "and what is your goal?" "To beat you!"
