Chapter 3

I'm back! The outbreak made things pretty shitty for me and for my family plus new school is a bitch. So yeah sorry. Anyway, on with the story it's probably bad because I left it half finished before going on hiatus. I just wanted to get it done so I'm uploading it.

Arrogent Comprehendor: The Boys could be a good way to make characters question the role of huntsmen. Ah, yes all I need is the antagonists and their suffering will be excellent.

0akarigan0: I'm glad you like it, I hope that this chapter is fun to read.

X3runner: I'm not really sure about doing a movie like Crocodile Dundee but I'll think about it. What the hell is Undisputed?... Comes back after watching the first movie. Okay I really want to this but I'm not sure what part. I'll just leave it on the back burner for now.

Kharn: Yes, to Goblin Slayer. Berserk hmmm, yeah that has to be a no for now. I'll decide after watching Vinland Saga. I finally have another excuse to watch Konosuba now.

Guest: Never watched DxD and probably won't but a Kazuma Jaune might be a good replacement.

Kamerad Hans: I think someone did Bloodborne already and I've never really had any experience with the series, sorry. Yes, I definitely will be doing the rest of Meet the team.

netapel: I don't see why not it's pretty short and shouldn't take much effort to for the Lorax scene. The Skyrim one's going to be a pain but it's a bloody good idea so I'll do it however I'm not sure if Jaune would join Imperials? You know because they are homophobic, and his sister is a lesbian but the Stormcloaks are racists…hmmm. Eh, I'll just do a coin flip.

guillermocejas767: Hell yeah, it's my favourite game how could I not do it.

plainzombi: Never played the game due to not being a fan of the wild west but I can give it a try however no promises.

Kingbean2: I hate you. This was supposed to be Jaune centric fic but know that you've said it I can't imagine anyone else in Pyros place. Well I guess I can come up with an in-story reason for seeing a none Jaune viewing.

Scully1337: Jaune as White Death. Might as well add to the list, I'll have to do some research and wait for inspiration to strike me, but I don't see why not.

Binkb: Jack the Ripper vs Hercules sounds fun so maybe once I get good at writing fight scenes. I think Jaune will probably be Jack I think he fits Jaune a bit better, plus its kind of shows what happens when a good man falls. Gon against Pitou I don't know I've never watched the anime. I just couldn't get interested in the series but I could try.

Inspiration: His Angels

"You'd think that Yang would be able to at least scratch her mother especially when injured from fighting Cinder but look at that." If anyone was watching they would see a very strange scene. First of all, there were two black cocoons of leather that hugged their bodies in a revealing manner leaving only their mouths and eyes. One very pissed of blonde and a mother giving the god a death glare. Second was the castle made of chairs and sofas where Nora and the rest of her team where hiding behind. Finally, there was Glynda Goodwitch who was spinning her students around in the air. Weiss turning green and Blake following close behind.

Qrow tersely glared at Sto taking a swig to calm his nerves. "Can I know why my sister is here and out of all the ways to restrain them you chose that!" Ozpin nods. "Yes, I would also like to now."

Sto starts whistling before Glyndas glare makes him speak. "Well I kind of forgot to prepare a safe way to trap people. So, I grabbed the first thing I had and that was my mom's…" The sentence trails of and an uncomfortable silence reigns over the theatre. "Anyway, I'll convince them to quieten down and you can all sit down." Snapping his fingers all the chairs fly back to their original places. Nora is left to mutter in a gloomy mood as her kingdom is taken away comforted by Ren "Nnnnoooo my kingdom!" Team RWB are released with Ruby spinning like a spinning top with the rest of her team rushing over to a conveniently materialised bathroom. The circle looks like they want to argue however Ozpin gives them a glance so they quiet down and sit with all of them watching Raven intently.

Clapping the rather not PG friendly clothing disappear and as both prepare to throw down Sto appears between them. "Yang I will not allow fighting here, please go sit down. If you want to beat the crap out of her, I can give you a chance but not right know. Is that alright?" Yang cocks Ember Cecilia before the red reaper appears hugging her from behind, her eyes returning to her violet eye colour. A small nod with a small sigh Ruby pulls her away with a grateful nod.

"Weak." Stos body stiffens as his head turns 180 degrees around with a crack probably his redundant spine. His smile cold and hard with no warmth in it. "You have no right to talk coward." Flinching Raven tries to rebuke but he continues "First you will not speak about their future or I will beat you to death with your own skull. Secondly you will shut that little whore mouth and sit down and remember this I despise hypocrites and cowards." After a solid minute Raven nods and walks of as far as possible from the group. Realigning his spine Sto spins around with a strained smile at Ozpins and his lackeys before creating a dimensional hole and pulling out a golden orb.

Throwing it at the screen it is swallowed up the screen flickers to an eye that then disappears. A frown appears on Stos face with Weiss turning to him and asking, "What was that?"

"Don't worry your little head and know enjoy the grim darkness of the future. Welcome to the nightmare that is the 41st millennium." Sto chuckled as the screen came to life.

A sudden explosion and a wasteland of broken buildings and explosions. A humanoid dressed in yellow armour with a backpack and a rifle. The man dashes to cover as another explosion is heard.

The scene changes to a group of people dressed in brown clothes and green chest plates and helmets with red visors. One of them turns around from the protective wall only to be shot with a blue beam of energy. The blasts sends blood flying and the soldier falls to the ground dead.

Blake shouts in shock "What's happening?"

Sto replies offhandedly "A conflict between alien Tau and Gaurdsmen who serve a demigod of humanity. I'll explain after you meet his angels." Blake frowns but stays silent, Ozpin stares at Sto who turns around and sticks out his tongue at him. With the wizard's reply being a small shrug.

The scene changes as Tau jump over a broken building with lasers flying over their heads. One fires their weapon into a guardsman killing him. Soon enough it can be seen that many more Tau are joining the battle as they rush forward.

"That's so cool what rifle is that?" Ruby shot out of her seat forgetting that she was on a double bunk bed/couch. Her cloak catches onto the edge where she starts choking, "No, not like this! I'm too young to die!"

Yang grabs her by the cloak and pulls her back up, "Told you that cape will kill Ruby, but I guess I'm a head of the edge." Groaning at her puns is her only answer as she smugly smiles before looking at Raven who is pointedly ignoring them. "What am I not even good enough to be acknowledged."

A squad of Tau charge past a few boxes, where a guardsman is hiding and praying. "Emperor of Man, overseer of all things right, whose powers none can resist, save and deliver us, we beseech, from the hands of our enemies…" A rifle pointed at the man's head his words dying in his throat.

"No… is he going to die?" Ruby stared at the screen with the rest of the teem staring in uncomfortable silence at the situation she was seeing. (Well except Raven she was too busy brooding and not caring about others.) Death was never an easy thing to see well unless it was hilarious.

The inner circle could only look at the students sitting there, it was never easy seeing people die. Qrow took a swig as he remembered the many times, he saw civilians and hunters ripped apart by Grimm. Ozpin closed his eyes and sighed thinking back to all those who fell for him. Glynda turned to Sto giving him a stare that made the god sweat.

A red laser strikes the Tau sending his body flying and blue blood spraying. Jumping down he takes out his hand and speaks "…by granting us domination over them, show us the path to victory, that we might produce it in your Undying Name."

Qrow breaks the silence as everyone stares at him "Lucky brake. Hey Sto, what's with the religious mumbo jumbo?"

Taping his chin Sto replies "In this universe there exist gods who are the representation of emotions like anger, pleasure and many more. Humanity has their own god the Emperor who protected them but due to his son rebelling he was killed and know is a corpse powering the Imperium of Man. He is still alive, but his soul is being ripped into tiny pieces and then reformed every second that he exists."

Looking back at the naïve humans he chuckles and continues "I spared you the gory details but basically humanity is only alive because their corpse of a god is fed a thousand souls everyday as he fights against the manifestations of every negative emotion people have felt throughout history."

"Well, shit." Is Qrows elegant reply before a lien appears in Rubys swear jar. It goes unnoticed as the onlookers look at the screen noting the similarities of having to face creatures created from negative emotions except on such a scale where they need a god to protect them. This thought makes Ozpin twitch as having met the gods he understood their power the most. Imagining monsters able to fight against gods was not a fun idea.

The cowering guardsmen stands up "Thanks I thought I was a goner." The second guardsman nods and replies "Call me Clover, where's your lasgun?"

"I los- do you hear that?" Their conversation is cut short as they both turn to look at the sky. The sound of battle seems to lessen as a scream that shakes the earth overtakes the sound of war. A metallic death cages pierce through the heavens before striking the earth creating tremors. Followed by one pod after another, a sudden release of pressure and the slamming the bloody cage opens. The battlefield silent both man and tau hold their breath, the cowered guardsmen speaks up only heard by Clover "His angels…"

"That's insane who would risk their life like that?" Weiss almost screamed in disbelief. Sto chuckled "They're space marine for them this is a normal Tuesday after all they are genetically engineered humans. They are bigger, stronger and faster than any normal man, kind of like huntsmen but one space marines would wreck a team of professional huntsmen."

Blake cocks her eyebrow "So someone like Pyrrha or Miss Goodwitch wouldn't be able to beat them?"

Looking at Pyrrha Sto chuckles "No and her semblance would be useless against them their armour isn't metal its ceramite." Turning to Miss Goodwitch he shrugs "Maybe she could injure one with the use of your telekinesis killing one only if you're very lucky?"

The audience just stare at the god unsure if he is really telling the truth. Ozpin turns to his allies and whispers "Just in case we need to ensure countermeasures to stop creatures like that." Receiving a nod from both. Ren places a hand on the sullen Pyrrha, and Nora is hugging her as a sign of support.

A giant red titian of death steps out shaking the earth as he walks. The titian a monster among men his armour red as blood with gold around the massive pauldrons. A golden skull with wings stands out proudly on their chest and emerald green eyes stare unflinchingly. A giant bolter is gripped tightly as the giant surveys the land. His brothers emerge from behind with every step shaking the earth.

Blake is the first to ask "What sort of war needs soldiers like that?"

Without missing a beat Sto answers "A war of survival against the universe itself." A sullen quiet grows as the viewers as the idea that these angels are strong enough to kill a human by accident if they squeeze them too tightly.

Ion weaponry is fired onto the Astarte's and a loud booming voice greets the foul xeno, "They fire upon us, return the greeting in kind. They march their bolter pistols firing at the vile xeno, a bolt strikes and blows of a Tau unlucky head. His comrade runs as the fountain of blue blood sprays across his visor.

The red behemoths charge through the battlefield, a jet pack is heard and an angel's leaps into the air. A lone xeno runs ragged breathing and tired limbs begging him to slow down but fear and adrenaline coursing through his body scream RUN! The sound of engines is what he hears before a metal giant reaches his prey. He lets out a shrill scream as his ribs shatter, desperately scrambling for his weapon unable to reach it. The foot of the monster keeps him down. The blood pounding in his head and the desperate breathing are overshadowed by the chain sword roar. It rips through his chest like a ravenous beast devouring him. He cannot scream as his head is eviscerated and a fountain of blue blood erupts.

Sto turns to Raven who is watching the viewing with vested interest. Chuckling he turns back to the rest who just watch the tide angry demigods' crush the Tau.

A lone Tau stands pointing his gun at the red juggernaut. His fingers trembling as his flight or fight response dies as the demigod with ease steps onto him. He screams as he beats at its leg trying desperately to escape yet the creature barely notices. Unflinching monsters' eyes greet him, and the bolter is pointed at him, the trigger pulled, and the body goes limp.

A little whimper from Nora and Ruby is the only thing heard in the theatre. Both respectively hugging their sister and best friend. Weiss stares agape at the brutality, with Blake closing her eyes at the similar treatment the Faunus went through during the Crusades. Pyrrha and Ren try to comfort their ginger Valkyrie. The adults stay quiet as they remember the many similar events that happened to them.

Another angel charges through the battlefield knocking aside the poor excuses of foes. Sending the blue skinned humanoid flying the strength of the punch shatters his ribs and breaks his spine. The marine moves at speeds that its titanic body should never reach. Grabbing a tau stupid enough to think he could injure a being so much greater than him. The hand holds his throat tightly just barely allowing the vile parasite to breath. One desperate breath after another the blueberry skinned creature stares at the roaring teeth of the blade. The last thing it feels is the sweet release of death as the teeth dig into its precious organs.

The viewing comes to an end and they turn to stare at the god who is filing his nails. He hears a cough and looks up chuckling. "How did you like the vie- OH FUCK." The ceiling is smashed in as part of an arena falls on top of the god, music starts playing as two figures tumble down.

A tall dapper looking gentleman and a muscular man with a heavily injured left arm. Both get up with the dapper gentleman rushing for the nearby revolver while the injured man rushes after him.

"I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

The injured man reaches him as the gentleman lifts his gun and tries to reload. He is a second too late as the fist connects with his face. His aura sparks as he is sent tumbling, he manages to steady himself.

He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast

The gentleman swings at the injured man and delivers a few quick jabs. He guards against the attack but a few strikes manage to get through. Gritting his teeth as the mans aura shimmers he delivers a devastating kick to the gentleman's knee. Tripping over his own feet as he tries to get away a punch strikes him in the stomach and finally grabs his shirt and smashes him into the floor.

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight!"

A muffled scream escapes the gentleman as a hand grabs his face before repeatedly smashing his head into the floor. His aura shatters and the man limbs go limp as he loses conscience. The song ends with a triumphant "I need a HERO!" as the man stands and winces at his arm.

The strangeness of this is broken as Ozpin gets up and walks down next to injured man. "Hello, old friend." The man turns to him shocked "Ozpin?"

Ruby's swear jar: 4 Lien

That's a wrap folks sorry for the long wait.
