God Jul everyone! And anyways, so I wanted to get a quick chapter out for this. Some of you may get the reference, others may not. But after this, you'll probably wanna actually go and watch it.
If you don't know the movie, just type in the chapters name into youtube, you'll find out really soon.
"Well, I would say the last few realities have been rather pleasant." Glynda admitted that she was liking them so far.
"I agree, instead of seeing death, we actually get a few laughs." Pyrrha said as Ruby was getting worried.
"But it also has me worried…" She said as everyone looked at her.
"Usually, the guy who brought us here gives us a break in between horrible realities, so chances are we may see another dark one soon." Ruby said as she wasn't looking forward to that.
"Yes, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
The scene opened to Cardin leaning against a tree, dressed in a western duster with a black stetson. He was staring down at his pocketwatch as he was wondering where that guy had gone off to.
"Oh hey its Cardin!" Ruby said as he looked different.
"Huh, he's got a bit of a beard growing in." Yang said as it actually looked good on him.
"Who is he waiting for?" Goodwitch asked.
"And why is he dressed like that?" Blake was wondering.
"Isn't it obvious? This universe has them at a different time, most likely in Vacuo where gunfights are common."
"What makes you think a gunfight is going to happen?" Pyrrha asked.
"Simple, look at his revolver." Weiss pointed out.
Suddenly he heard footsteps coming from the distance. He turned his head to see a figure coming down the path.
"Welllll…" Cardin seemed pleased to see this figure.
"I didn't think you had it in you!" He said as he took a few steps forward.
"I'm your huckleberry…." A voice said as the man stepped from the shadows.
Revealing Jaune Arc in a tailored suit, duster, and a black stetson. With a mustache and pale face.
He blew smoke out of his nose as he finished taking a drag from his cigarette.
Cardin froze as he realized who this was.
"Woah, he looks good in that." Yang was being honest.
"The mustache is new." Pyrrha had to admit, it didn't look too bad.
"Whats a huckleberry?" Nora honestly didn't know.
"I think it means he's the right man for the job?" Weiss suggested even though she wasn't entirely sure.
"What business does he have with Cardin?" Ren asked as he had a bad feeling about this.
"Why Cardin Winchester, you look like someone stepped over your grave." Jaune said as he took another drag.
"….The fight's not with you Arc." Cardin honestly knew he couldn't face this guy.
"I beg to differ, we started a game we never got to finish, played for blood remember?" Jaune coughed a bit as he held a hankerchief to his mouth.
"…..I was just playing around…" Cardin was being honest.
Only to see Jaune's face go dark.
"I wasn't…." He glared.
"….Shit….this vomit boy looks intense…" Yang said as they appeared to be sizing each other up.
"Why does Cardin look so afraid of Jaune? I mean, I get that it looks like a fight is about to break out, but when our Jaune first met Cardin, it was the other way around." Ruby said as this was kind of different.
"Remember Ruby, different universes, this Jaune probably has a reputation." Weiss reminded her.
"I'm getting a bad feeling about this." Pyrrha said as honest as could be.
"And this time….." Jaune threw his coat back.
"Legal." Revealing the Vacuao marshall badge.
Cardin realized he couldn't get out of this, so he decided 'the hell with it.'
"Alright Jauney boy…lets do it…" Cardin said as the two started circling each other.
Jaune was taking drags from his cigarette with his hand not too far from his revolver.
"What is he doing?! He's going to get hurt!" Ruby said with worry for Jaune.
"Ruby, calm down, I'm pretty sure Jaune wouldn't get into this situation if he wasn't confident in his abilities…" Yang was a bit worried though.
"Yang…he got into beacon with not a lot of training…." Weiss pointed out.
"….Different reality!" She said as Pyrrha and the rest of he team were on the edge of their seats.
"But remember, this Jaune actually seemed to someone Cardin was afraid of." Blake pointed out as she had been carefully analyzing the situation.
Jaune never took his eyes off Cardin as he took one last drag from his cigarette and held it in front of him.
"Say when." He said as he still and quite a bit of cigarette to finish and wasn't about to throw it away. And Cardin was looking for the perfect oppurtunity.
He cheated a little bit, even before Jaune had shown up, he already had his revolver loosened from the clasp that held it in place when he rode, he was expecting to get into a fight. But he was expecting it to be with Lie Ren, not Jaune Arc. Good thing he did, he would need all the extra advantages he could get.
"…." The audience was silent as they waited to see what would happen.
Cardin swiftly drew his gun and cocked the lever back.
But Jaune within a split second had pulled his gun, cocked it at the same time. And fired off a round, all while never dropping his cigarette.
BOOM!
Cardin's hat flew off as a round entered into the right part of his skull.
"HOLY SHIT!" Yang said as that was fast.
"No mercy at all!" Weiss was shocked at how cold and fast Jaune was.
"Did you see how fast he drew that?" Ruby had seen some fast hands, but that was some next level shit.
Ozpin and Glynda had known about Jaune and Cardin not getting along too well in school, but to see an alternate reality where Jaune KILLED Cardin, it was hard to see.
"Come on!" Jaune yelled as he put his cigarette in his mouth as Cardin was somehow still alive.
"Gurg…gah…" Cardin couldn't even speak, but somehow his grip on his gun was still tight.
"COME ON!" Jaune yelled as he held his fists up in front of him.
Cardin let a round go off as he couldn't even raise his gun up to shoot at Jaune. Despite the fact that with his last moments, he was trying to shoot the famous gunslinger.
"You're no daisy!" Jaune taunted as Cardin fell to the ground.
"You're no daisy at all!" jaune taunted one last time.
Cardin drew his last breath, six gun still in hand as Jaune finishedhis cigarette and threw it away.
"Poor soul…" he said as he put something on his body.
"You were just too high strung."
Everyone was speechless over what they just saw. Was Jaune a villian? Was he the good guy? They weren't sure. He definitely seemed sinister. But at the same time, Cardin did mention something about the fight being with Ren. So did Jaune step up in his place? What was going on?
They felt like they were missing out on a great viewing experience.
Suddenly Jaune turned to see Ren run out of the woods, dressed in similar clothes, with a six gun in hand. He looked stunned as he saw Cardin Winchester dead on the ground.
"Woah, Ren…you look good in that too…" Nora was surprised to see the boy from Kuroyuri dressed like a lawman from Vacuo. It was kind of…hot.
"Uh thanks." He too was surprised at what was going on.
Ren ran over not knowing what had happened.
"I'm afraid the strain was more than he could bear." Jaune said as he lit a new cigarette.
Ren was stunned, he had no idea what had happened. But Jaune and him were going to have a long talk.
