Okay here we go again. I chose the original Spiderman trilogy, because I personally like it better than the amazing spiderman movies. Especially with how lame Uncle Ben was in TASM 1 and 2. I mean come on, Cliff Robertson nailed Uncle Ben, and Martin Sheen, as much as I hate to say it, sucked.
I mean at least when Toby Maguire cried it was realistic, Andrew Garfield's screams just looked so wrong and fake. But he did have potential, and the movie where he plays Desmond Doss looks promising.
"So...what do you think is coming up next?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know, what if its something depressing again?" Weiss said.
"Let's hope it isn't."
Jaune was standing in front of the desk in his costume. He was waiting for his payment for tonight's wrestling show. The man responded by putting a hundred dollar bill on the table. Jaune took it and waited for the rest.
Only it never came.
"Go on, get out of here." The man said as Jaune scrunched his face in confusion.
"100 bucks? But the ad said 3000." He said as the man gave him a look of anger.
"Well check it again webhead! It said three grand for three minutes, and you took him out in two! For that I give you a hundred, and you're lucky to get that!" He said as he went back to counting his money.
"Wow, this guy is a dick." Yang said as everyone agreed.
"Why did he call him webhead?" Ruby asked.
"Maybe thats his wrestling name?" Blake asked as she looked at his costume.
"Well that and his shirt has the picture of a spider on it." Weiss said as she had never been fond of spiders.
"I need that money!" Jaune said as he needed it to pay the rent for his sisters and his uncle.
"I miss the part where that's my problem." The man said as Jaune turned around and left.
He went back to counting his money as another man walked in and threw a bag at him.
"Hey! What the he-" Suddenly he was cut off by a gun to the face.
"Put the money in the bag!" Cardin yelled as he looked a bit unhinged.
"Holy shit! Cardin's mugging that guy!" Nora yelled.
"I know Mr. Winchester has his problems, but armed robbery? That's new." Ozpin said as even he didn't expect this.
"He looks like he's insane in this..." Goodwitch said as he looked unkempt and unhinged.
Jaune was right by the elevator. Pissed off that he couldn't get the money. He lived with seven sisters along with his uncle. And they had fallen on hard times. Jaune's parents had died in a car crash ten years ago. So they lived with his Uncle Ozpin, who was retired from his job as a teacher/clock smith. And his Aunt Glynda who was also a former teacher.
"Woah, you guys are his Aunt and Uncle?" Yang asked as that was weird to think about.
"I suppose so." Ozpin said as he had to admit, it was interesting to think of himself as an Uncle.
"I suppose...it would be possible." Glynda said as she thought about the Arc boy.
"Only one problem, why did it cut to Jaune when that one guy is getting mugged?" Ruby asked.
Jaune sighed a bit. He had gotten into a fight with his Uncle before he came here. He regretted yelling at him. But he was going through some interesting times. So naturally he was a little mad about it all. And he really didn't like when Uncle Oz tried to lecture him on things he didn't know about...then again, he didn't really give him a chance to offer his viewpoint. He saw the sad look in his Uncle's eyes...why did he yell at him?
"STOP THAT GUY!" He heard a yell as he turned back to the room.
He saw a guy with a bag running towards him and the elevator.
"STOP HIM! He's got the money!" The man from earlier said as Jaune got a little mad.
In his anger, he let the guy pass him and get into the elevator.
"Thanks!" Cardin said as the elevator door closed.
The police constable who was chasing after the guy banged on the elevator doors a few times before sighing.
"What the hell is the matter with you? You let him go!" He said as he walked away, talking on his radio.
The man who refused to pay Jaune was holding his head as he looked at Jaune.
"You could have torn him apart! Now he's going to get away with my money!" He said in an angry tone.
"I miss the part where that's my problem." Jaune repeated his own words back to him.
"I can't say I'm impressed Mr. Arc." Goodwitch said as she was disappointed in him.
"I get that he was mad, but the guy just commited a crime." Weiss said as she couldn't believe Jaune let that happen.
"I mean sure the guy screwed him, but maybe he would have given him the money he earned if he stopped the guy." Pyrrha said as she was a little upset.
The man walked away as Jaune pressed the button for the elevator again. He was still mad at the guy, but glad that he could do something to stick it to him. He looked back down at the 100 dollar lien in his hand. Well...at least this could help buy groceries at least. Luckily, his aunt and uncle owned the house. But the economy was tough these days, and prices were going up on a lot of things. What they really needed was food, and they all refused for Jaune to take any money out of his college fund to pay the bills.
"At least we know why he's so pissed off." Ruby said as he was struggling to provide for his family.
"Still though, what if that criminal goes and hurts someone?" Ozpin said as he was getting a bad feeling.
"Hopefully he won't." Ren said.
"You never know." Goodwitch was not having a good feeling.
As he was walking down the street, he noticed that a bunch of people were gathering around something with their phones out recording something. Jaune didn't know why but he suddenly got a feeling that he should check it out.
"Stay back!" He heard an Atlesian soldier say.
"Someone got hurt!" A man yelled as he was recording it on his scroll.
"Hey excuse me." Jaune said as he was trying to cut through the crowd.
"Excuse me." He said to another person as he could make out the hint of someone wearing a dark jacket.
"Stay back Sir!" The soldier said as Jaune finally got a good look at him.
"HEY MY UNCLE!" He yelled as he suddenly got down next to Uncle Oz.
"Oh no..." Ruby said as she saw Professor Ozpin laying on the ground.
"Of all people..." Yang said.
"Why Ozpin?" Pyrrha asked.
"Professor Ozpin?" Glynda said as Ozpin had froze.
He just kept staring at the screen.
"What happened?" Jaune asked the lead soldier.
"Dust thief, he's been shot, we called the paramedics, they're on their way." He said as he tried to keep people back.
"Uncle Oz?" Jaune asked with a sad look on his face.
"Uncle Oz?" He asked as he saw the old man open his eyes.
"Jaune..." He said in a deep tone, tears in his eyes.
Jaune now had tears in his eyes. How could this have happened? Why was his Uncle on the ground? Why him of all people.
"I'm here Uncle Oz..." He said as his voice was trembling.
"Jaune..." He said one final time before he turned his head to the side and closed his eyes.
The hand Jaune was holding fell limp to his side. As Ozpin took his last breath.
"No..." He said as he felt tears rolling down his face.
His Uncle Oz was dead.
"*Sniff*" Ruby actually had a tear or two.
"It's not fair..." Yang said as once again they witnessed something terrible.
"Why Oz?" Ren asked as it didn't make sense.
"Professor?" Glynda said as Ozpin still hadn't made a sound.
"It's...strange, seeing your own death." He thought to himself.
"They got the shooter, he's in a car going down fifth avenue." The soldier said as Jaune heard those words.
His face of sadness shifted into rage. And he let go of Uncle Oz's hand and walked away.
That guy was not going to get away with this.
He ran into an alley, taking off his jacket, revealing the spider shirt he had underneath. He reached into his pockt pulling out red ski mask that he used during his wrestling match. And then to the shock of those viewing. He jumped ten feet in the air, and started crawling up the wall.
"What the? Is he...sticking to the wall?" Yang asked as Weiss spoke up.
"Probably with Aura." She suggested.
"Yeah, but that takes years of training at a combat school, Jaune never went to one remember?" Yang whispered so that the professors didn't overhear.
He crawled up the wall, jumping up onto the rooftop, and now he was jumping across twenty foot gaps, swinging on flag poles, and just traversing the roof as if he had been doing it for years. Finally, he landed on a spire, as he saw his Uncle's car driving erratically down the road.
Knowing that he had to get moving quickly, he flicked his wrist, and shot webbing out of his wrist onto a building across the street.
"Did...did he just shoot a web?" Blake asked.
"I think he did." Pyrrha said.
"It's probably just some sort of wire." Weiss suggested.
"I'm going with web, that sounds cooler." Ruby stated.
He swung across, however, since he was still new to this, he realized that he was about to run into a wall. Freaking out a bit, he shot another web out of his other wrist, so it acted as a bungee cord and got him away from his designated crash landing.
"CRAP!" He yelled as he let go on his one web, and fired another one.
"SHIT!" He yelled again as he was starting to get the hang of it.
Finally he settled into a pattern,wait til you get to the end of the swing, and then fire off another web. And then repeat the process.
He swung close enough so that he could jump on the car. The driver was shocked that someone was crazy enough to jump on the roof of the car. But they couldn't see his face due to the fact he was wearing a mask.
"What the?" He said as a hand suddenly burst through the car roof.
"AGH!" He yelled as he fired a few shots onto the roof.
Only for Jaune to dodge every bullet with lightning speed.
"How is he doing that?" Weiss asked as Jaune could never do that.
"I don't know, Aura?" Pyrrha asked.
"I doubt it, even with Aura, Mr. Arc had trouble dodging swords, let alone gunfire." Goodwitch said as they had tested him on agility.
"Then what happened to him? And why was he shooting web out of his hands earlier?" Ruby asked.
The chase went on for a bit, before the driver eventually crashed into an abandoned building complex. Police cars were in pursuit, but they had gotten stuck behind a tanker truck which had crashed due to the carjacker running him off the road.
"Shit!" The carjacker yelled as he ran inside.
No idea that a pissed off teenager was after him.
"Got to get out of here." He said to himself as he tried to see if there was a way out.
In the background you could see a man lower himself down on a web, before he pulled himself back up before the carjacker could move back.
He heard a noise. He looked up as he saw the shadow of a man being illuminated by a search light. He fired at the shadow in panic.
"Why did he fire at the shadow?" Ruby asked as that didn't make any sense.
"Fear can make people do stupid things." Goodwitch said as Ozpin still hadn't made a sound.
Then he felt someone grab him from behind as his head was smashed into a window.
"AGH!" He yelled out as he was pulled back and slammed into another window.
He was thrown into the wall, he finally saw who was pursuing him. It was a guy in a red shirt with a spider on it. He pulled off his mask to reveal a blond hair blue eyed kid.
"Don't hurt me! Just give me a chance! JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE!" He yelled as Jaune got pissed off.
"Does his voice sound familiar?" Ruby asked as everyone nodded.
"Yeah, where have we heard that voice before?" Nora asked as he did sound familiar
"I think we know him very well." Glynda said as she was certain she knew him.
"What about my uncle? Did you give him a chance? DID YOU?!" He yelled as he grabbed the man by his throat.
"WAIT!" He said as the light revealed his face.
Only for Jaune to step back in shock.
It was the man who he had let pass him in the hallway, who had stolen the bag of money.
"Oh no..." Ruby said as she covered her mouth in horror.
"Cardin killed Jaune's uncle..." Pyrrha said as Weiss spoke up.
"And the worst part is, Jaune let him get away, if he hadn't have let Cardin get away, Ozpin would still be alive..." She said as she can't imagine what Jaune must feel.
"That's got to be an awful feeling." Blake said as she couldn't imagine being responsible for one of her friend's death or injury.
Jaune stepped back, it was his fault, he was responsible for his Uncle's death. If he had just stopped the guy. He could have prevented this whole mess. His Uncle would have been waiting for Jaune in his car, and he would have never been shot.
It was all his fault.
"He he he he...see ya." The man said as he held a gun to Jaune's head.
"Why are all these realities so dark?" Ruby said as she was getting sick of it.
"Even the one with the depressed teddy bear was dark." Yang added on.
"Do you think that author guy had something to do with it?" Blake asked as Weiss shook her head.
"He did warn us that some realities would be fun, while others would be depressing, something tells me we just have to get through the bad times." She said as she was hoping something good came out of this.
Only for Jaune to grab the gun out of his hand, and then after he had been disarmed, he broke the man's wrist.
"AGGGHH!" He yelled as he cradled his broken wrist.
Jaune advanced forward.
"Wait! No!" He said as he took a step back.
Only he didn't realize that he was about to trip on a pipe. He fell through the window. The glass shattered, peppering his face with tiny shards of glass. he screamed all the way down, as his body finally made a loud thud on the ground below.
"Good Oum." Ren said as he saw Cardin's body on the ground.
"It's even unsettling to see Cardin die." Ruby said as she felt a bit queasy.
The scene changed to Jaune up on some sort of tower, crouched down on a gargoyle, the tears streaming down his face. Realizing that because of him, he would never see his Uncle again.
He eventually went home, only for the cops to tell his family the unforturnate news. His sisters and Aunt had cried for hours. And Jaune had locked himself in his room. While his Aunt and Sisters thought that Uncle Oz had died while he was on his way to pick up Jaune. Jaune knew the truth, and the guilt was eating away at him.
Yang thought back to when she almost got Ruby killed when she was looking for her mom. And suddenly gripped her sister tighter.
Weiss remembered when she got her scar, and covered it with her hand.
Blake thought back to when Adam was going to blow up the train with all those passengers on it.
Ruby couldn't help but feel bad for Jaune, he didn't mean for anything like that to happen. He was just mad, he didn't want his Uncle to die.
Goodwitch was keeping her composure, but after seeing her superior die, it was unsettling.
Ozpin was finally talking again, but seems like he still was unsure of what to say.
"What was he trying to tell me?" He thought back to the last time he spoke to his Uncle.
"Remember, with great power, comes great responsibility." His voice rang through his ears.
Suddenly Jaune stopped crying. He looked over to his hidden sketchbook. He rummaged through it before he finally found the page he was looking for.
It was a draft of what he wanted his wrestling outfit to look like, it was a red and blue suit, with a spiderweb design, as well as a large spider symbol in the middle of it. The eyes were reflective, while the rest of the mask covered his face.
"I wish you didn't have to die for me to learn that lesson." He said as he now knew what he had to do.
"It's a good lesson." Ozpin finally said.
"Professor?" Goodwitch was glad he was finally talking again.
"It's true, what his Uncle Oz said, with great power, comes great responsibility." He said as he looked over his students.
"You're still students, but you have been granted enormous strength and abilities some civilians will never be able to grasp, if you forget that this power is in itself a responsibility, you could very well risk the well being of civilians, friends, even family." He said as he motioned to Jaune losing his Uncle.
"So you should never forget, while these abilities may seem like a gift, they are also a great burden." He said as he finished his speech.
The two teams thought it over. It was true. Now that they had seen what could happen if they didn't act responsibly. They could get someone hurt.
Yang was worried about Ruby.
Ruby was worried about her entire family. Weiss couldn't help but think of her sister. Blake thought of her new friends and team. Pyrrha was thinking about Jaune, and Nora and Ren were thinking about each other. What would they do if any of them were to die? And it was all their fault?
