A/N: I suppose I should clarify. After posting the prologue and first real chapter of episode 1, I had been PM'd by someone, as well as getting reviews, telling me that:
1. He's glad I'm doing a Jaune in Golden Wind fanfic, Which I'm glad you enjoy it, but-
2. That someone had actually done this idea before, and that I have the same title.
While it has been some time since they updated, I'm a little conflicted. Mostly because I have the same title as his, so I'm thinking if I should come up with a new title that I could use.
Reviews:
Anthony Galupo: Will do!
awesomenessomar5: Thank you!
ArchaicPhenominon: Thank you, I have to say that I'm proud of what I had so far. And don't worry, I'll try my best to make it there, maybe even surpass it.
Arkadian97: After reading your review, I took some time to look through my writing. It was only now that I realize that I kept repeating certain phrases like, 'The man said' and 'The woman said'. I'll try my best to change it up and use better grammar to express what's happening.
Peigukiin: That's the dream! But I have to admit, realistically, that might take a while. But if I do, I'll be satisfied!
Rioto the devil: I'll try to, and thanks!
"Hey! How many times do I have to tell you that you can't run your business here without a license?" An officer said.
"Move your car!" His larger partner says. The car in question starts to move. "Honestly. You only moved one car length away!"
The mischievous bunch of the cast chuckled to themselves, mainly Sun. It was always fun teasing the officers, nothing too much to the point where they could arrest you, but just enough to annoy them.
The view drifts off to show a man in a short-sleeved button up shirt talking to an elderly couple.
"So, Whaddya say? It's faster than lining up." He says, trying to convince the couple to pay for his services.
"What do you think?" The older man asks his wife, causing her to hum in consideration.
"I don't know." Oobleck said. "After what we've witnessed in this city, I think it would be safe to say that one's guard should always be kept up at all time!"
"I'd have to agree with the prof- doctor." Weiss had fixed herself. "We've seen nothing but thievery and drugs from this place. If anything, this person is a scammer!"
"Whoa whoa! Chill out, Ice Queen." Yang had said. This earned her a Hmph from the Ice Queen herself.
"Look." Sun started. "It might be filled with crime, but it's still a beautiful place."
"I'll get you into the city real cheap." He says with a smile, trying to convince them to pay for his services.
"Really? How cheap?" The view cuts to the lower face of an anonymous man. His voice with a hint of sarcasm.
The supposed taxi driver and the couple look to where the voice spoke in surprise. The camera changes to show a shovel dragging along the dirt.
"L-Luca!" He exclaims, the camera looking up to show a man dressed in black pants, a red vest, and a long light reddish jacket with light flower print. The odd thing about this man is that his right eye appears to be tearing up.
"Oh boy." Roman had said, catching the attention of his partner, Neo. "I can see where this is going." His partner nodded happily in agreeance.
The scene changes to the man being thrown down onto the sidewalk, as a shovel is dug into the ground next to him.
"Didn't I tell you that you need to pay the protection fees you owe me before doing any more business?" Luca asked him, his temper rising.
"You can't be serious!"
"I told you that you need to pay the protection fees you owe me before doing any more business, right?" He lowered his face to get a better view of the man.
The students were worried for what might happen to the man. Though the adults were able to not show it, they were really hoping some officer or huntsman would intervene and help him.
Roman felt like he was right on the money. However, he was very concerned with the fact that Neo was getting too into the viewing.
"Hey, Neo. I like beating up people who owe me as much as the next person, but you're starting to worry me with your fascination for violence." Neo, in response, simply gave Roman a side glance with a smile. Causing Roman to recoil a bit.
"But-"
"Right?!" The man on the ground couldn't even finish as he was interrupted.
"But I have a family..." This statement seemed to make the man with a shovel hesitate. He glances off to the side, thinking for a bit.
"Maybe… Maybe he does have a heart." Nora had said out. Mercury, who had heard it, just shook his head regarding that. Reasoning that not everything works out the way it should.
Neo was deflating, to think that this man would even be in the criminal underworld even though he falters at the mention of some stranger's family? Though she had to admit, she wouldn't want anything to happen to Roman.
Luca looks the other way, wiping away a tear on his right eye. Before his face scrunched up in anger. Swinging his shovel upward, he hit the man with a direct hit to the face. Drawing blood.
Everyone was pretty surprised at the complete turn of events that happened. Even Cinder, who usually kept a levelheaded expression, was thrown off.
Ruby flinched at the sight of someone, who hadn't done anything remotely wrong, be harmed by someone else. Yang was there to comfort her.
The teachers of Beacon simply looked away, not out of fear for what they saw, but out of shame. If only someone could've been there to stop this from happening.
Meanwhile, Roman and Neo were pleasantly surprised.
"P-Please stop!" The man starts to whimper.
"You should think more about your friendship with me than your family… Got it!" The criminal starts his swing toward the man on the ground.
"I'm not the only one ignoring you to keep doing business!" The man cries out, the camera showing clearly a bruise on his cheek, and two missing teeth.
The shovel stopped where it is.
"Well, who? Who is it?" The criminal says, still holding his shovel up in the air.
"I-It's Giorno! Giorno Giovanna!" The man let out.
"What a snitch." Roman had let out, though others had heard what he said.
"He hadn't done anything wrong!" Ruby turned to look at the 'master' criminal. "Why should he be harmed for that?!"
"Well, Red. It's the fact that he's trying to thrown someone else under the bus, when it's pretty clear that this man is still going to get hit as well." Ruby simply groaned at this response, mostly because she does not want to get into an argument with her nemesis.
Mercury had also agreed with Roman, but was smart enough to keep his mouth shut. Mostly due to not wanting to be harmed by his boss.
The teachers of Beacon as well as the other adults agreed with Ruby, it was pretty clear that this man was being extorted for money. Any one of them would've stood against this man with a shovel.
"Giorno?"
"That kid's been making a fortune lately!" This statement causes the criminal to lower his shovel, and look off into the airport.
"Giorno? Well, I'll deal with him later." His attention was brought back to the man in front of him.
He quickly swung his shovel at the man, a sickening crunch could be heard as the scene smoothly, and disgustingly, transitions to the wheel of a car coming to a halt.
"Ugh!" Was a noise that was shared among the students. While the adults were simply remained focused on what was being shown.
"Well what do you know? The man himself still gets hit. See what happens Red? Now another person's gonna get whacked all because someone couldn't keep their mouths shut."
Ruby and her team simply glared at him, Roman being unfazed knowing that he was right on the money.
"Hey, you!" The two cops from earlier were seen chasing up to the car that stopped.
"You can't run your business here without a license!"
"Go somewhere else!"
The man in the magenta outfit stepped out of the car to greet the two officers.
"Buon giorno!" The magenta wearing man said.
"Buon giorno?" Yang had asked. "What did he say?"
"Oh, that means 'good morning' in native Vacuon." Neptune had informed her.
Scene changes to a sign indicating arrivals. A young man in what appears to be a Mistralian school outfit walks out the gate with his luggage.
"I'm finally here!" Claiming as he stretches. "That flight was so long!"
"The air sure is different here! Now, then, time to get to work." He commented as he pulls out a photo of a man with black hair.
"Jaune Arc… That's an unusual name."
"WHAT?!" The students exclaimed. "It isn't unusual." Pyrrha muttered to herself.
"Who is he then?" Nora had asked.
"Is he the one who you contacted to look for my son?" Nicolas had asked the headmaster.
"No, I didn't hire him." Ozpin responded.
"Do you know him?" Ren asked as he turned his head to the conversation.
"No, I don't know who he is, or what he has in relation with Mr. Arc." Ozpin had said, turning his attention back to the screen.
"First, I need to get to my hotel. I want to dump my luggage so I can move around a bit more freely." The student says as he begins to leave.
"Let's see… Where's the taxi pick-up..." His thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the officers from before.
"Whoa, that's amazing!" The student looks to where the commotion is, for the camera to reveal the same magenta wearing man and the two officers were.
"I know, right? That trick is amazing! This shouldn't be possible!"
"How are you even doing that?" The camera shows the man's ear being folded in itself to a very impossible degree.
"That's so gross!"
"This viewing is getting more disgusting by the minute." Weiss had said.
Meanwhile, Emerald scowled at her from behind.
'Of course you'd want to turn away.' Was what Emerald thought of. Though, she had to compose herself for now.
"A very interesting skill." Qrow speculated. "I bet this guy's full of them."
"Interesting." Winter notioned. "But not very practical."
"Though you have to admit." Oobleck said quickly. "How does one put an ear inside of a head?"
"How'd you stuff your whole ear into your head?" The young student looked at the scene impressed.
"Man, that was entertaining!" The large officer remarked, as his slimmer partner puts on his cap.
"Thanks."
As the officers were leaving, the larger one reached his hand out as the man who could put an entire ear into his head gave him a pack of cigarettes. Which clearly had lien stashed away in it.
"Don't attract too much attention with your job here." With that, the two officers leave to resume their job.
Everyone noticed what had happened. This man had paid off the officers.
The man turns around to notice the small student watching the entire scene play out, startling the student.
"Looking for a taxi?"
"No, n-not really..."
"You sure? I'm just finishing up my part-time job and about to head home, so I'll make it cheap. How about 180,000 lire to get you into the city?"
"What are they talking about?" Ruby asked. Confused if he meant 'Lien'.
"Students! Haven't you been paying attention in class?" The body of students turned to see Port. "After the Great War, Lien was adopted as a universal form of currency among Remnant. But some cities and places still take their native kingdom's money as a viable form of currency. You would've known if you paid any attention to my lectures."
The students, namely Ruby, Yang, and Nora simply looked away in shame. While the more diligent students looked at the three.
"180,000? That's… about 10,000 yen." The young student thinks to himself aloud, before coming to a conclusion. "That's way too expensive! The basic rate is about half that!" He shouted, in native Vacuon.
"Wow, you speak the language perfectly." The man said surprised.
"Huh?" The student let out.
"Did you used to live in Vacuo?"
"No, I just had Rohan make it so I could speak… Nevermind that!" The student was saying before he cut himself off. "M-More importantly, you're saying you'll drive? You look like you're only in middle school or high school. And I saw you give the security guys something. I'm pretty sure I saw some money. What's that about?"
"What was that about Rohan?" Ren had put forward, who was able to catch what he was saying.
"Maybe he taught him how to speak fluently in Vacuon?" Blake chimed in.
"If that was the case, then why did he say 'I had him make it so I could-'?" Ren replied back.
"Oh! Maybe he forced Rohan to force him into learning Vacuon!" Nora remarked triumphantly, as if she had solved the world's greatest mystery. The teachers simply chuckled at the student's lighthearted antics.
The man raised his hands up to try and ease the situation.
"Come on, now. You don't need to worry about those things." The blonde hair-looped man begged. "Okay, how about for 10,000 lire? I won't even ask for a tip. I'll take you into the city for exactly 10,000."
"Huh? 10,000 would be about…" He thought for a moment. "500 yen?! No, it's okay. I'll just wait at the taxi pick-up..." After walking just two steps, he just now noticed the large line waiting for taxies.
"Ooh." Pyrrha verbalized, remembering her fair share of dealing with long lines. "I guess that's one drawback of a beautiful city."
"By this point, I'd rather walk." Weiss claimed. "Better than being scammed."
"Are you sure?" The man asked the now jaw-dropped student. Regaining his posture, he turns around.
"You'll really only charge 10,000?"
"Yup. But you'll have to load your luggage on your own. Since I'm not asking for a tip."
The scene changes to an aerial view. Moving to the upper right, we see a small, light-blue car, with both the man and the student on either side.
"Put your luggage up front. You can sit in the back."
Roman simply put his hand to his face. There really is people gullible to fall for this kind of trick. Though he wasn't the only one to catch what was about to happen. Qrow, as his bad luck has made him, is always suspicious about how things could go wrong, and this was very clear on what could go wrong.
The heavy suitcase is placed on the front seat of the car.
"Just so you know," The student asserted, his arms still around the luggage. "You'd better not think of me as some Mistralian tourist who's not used to traveling. Just get me to my hotel in earnest."
"Yes. I'll get you there in earnest." He responded. The student closes the door and makes his way toward the back door before the scene changes to a close up of the mans eyes. "Or should I say… I'll get your empty luggage there."
As soon as he finished, he stepped on the gas, quickly leaving the student behind confused.
"Huh? Wait… I didn't even get in yet..." The student expressed, dumbfounded. Before hearing something from the two cops off in the background.
"Keep your mouth shut!"
"Don't tell me..." Finally coming to the realization, he quickly acts. "Hold it!" The man looks in the rear view mirror as he drives away.
"Wha- He just-" Nora just gaped her mouth at what she saw. "GO AFTER HIM AND BREAK HIS LEGS!" She shouted, furious that had happened.
"Nora, please. Calm down." Ren tried his best to ease her excitable personality. "What if he is our leader?"
That got Nora to calm down.
"I- I'd still punch him." Nora had said. "If he is our leader, then he shouldn't have done that."
"Ciao!"
The scene changes to a close up of the student's eyes. Confusion quickly turning into determination.
"Echoes Act 3!" He shouted. The car that the man was driving off with was quickly stopped.
The scene shows that his speedometer indicating that he's come to a complete stop, with the wheels digging into the concrete, creating cracks.
"Another unique semblance, huh?" Qrow announced. Oobleck was quick to throw his two cents in.
"Maybe we're only seeing this many unique semblances because it relates to the story of what The Entertainer is trying to show us." After hearing the teacher speak as fast as Ruby could go, Qrow simply took another swig of the bottle.
The angle changes to show the student walking toward the car with a glowing yellow-green aura around him. Back with the man, he's tried to change the gear in order to get the car started. His attention being caught when a hand is placed on the back window.
"Too bad for you." The student told him, no trace of the awestruck tourist left. "Didn't I tell you not to underestimate me?" The man, in response, got out of his car.
"You can run if you want. As long as my luggage is safe, I don't care." In response, he simply smiles, catching the student off guard. He legs it out of there while the student keeps his eyes on him.
"Look at that! Giorno actually screwed up!" The two officers from before could be heard talking about what happened.
"So, his name is Giorno." Saphron had said, almost looking defeated. "I thought that maybe we would've found Jaune." She felt an arm wrap around her.
"Don't worry." Her father said to her, trying to comfort her. "Have hope, he still might be Jaune. If not, he might be the one to show us where he is."
"That's what he gets for trying to trick a tourist when he's half Mistralian himself! Though people would never be able to tell he's Mistralian, with that hair color and a name like Giorno Giovanna."
"Wait, so his name isn't Giorno Giovanna?" Ruby asks. "Then who could he be?"
Saphron's eyes started to glimmer. She really wanted to believe that Giorno is who Jaune is.
"See, I told you." Nicolas comforts his daughter. "Have hope."
The tender moment of a family finally finding their potentially lost family member was cut short when Yang had an epiphany.
"OH! Giorno Giovanna! GioGio! As in like, JoJo!" Yang shouted, gathering the attention of everyone. "He's Jojo!"
Pyrrha and Weiss looked at the blonde incredulously, and both shook their heads.
"It couldn't be..." The student opens the passenger door to retrieve his luggage, only to be surprised that it's no where to be found. "Huh? It's gone! How?!" He looked around trying to see where it could've possible gone. Only to notice the small round object covered in embryo.
Glynda noticed the small stamps along the embryo. But found it hard to truly believe.
"Is that? His luggage?" Glynda said. The adults around her looked closer. Finally noticing the same stamps on the luggage being on the embryo.
"That explains how he was able to steal lien from the woman from earlier." Ironwood had said.
"Is this some kind of egg?" The student goes to reach for it, until the egg seemed to open its eyes. After some seconds, the egg had developed into a fully grown frog and broke out of its embryo.
"I-Is it a Stand?! But that's impossible! Would one show up the second I get to Naples?!"
"A Stand?" Blake said confused. "Is that another word for semblance?" This prompted Sun to respond.
"No, semblances aren't called that in native Vacuon."
"I don't think semblances are called Stands anywhere." Ozpin had said. He's been around longer than anyone else in this room, and not a single time has he heard anywhere of a Stand.
The frog immediately jumps onto the hand of the student. Surprising him, causing him to violently shake frog off of his hand.
"That's not a Stand! The way that frog felt..." The frog begins to hop away. "It's actually alive! But seriously, how'd my suitcase disappear?! He didn't have any time to hide it!"
Ruby was the first to ask. "What does he mean by that?" Wanting to know what he meant by Stand.
"Well," Weiss begins. "he was surprised to think that one would show up as soon as he got down to Naples. And he was sure that it wasn't a stand as soon as he felt it. It could be-" Weiss pauses for a second.
"Okay, I admit. I have no idea what he's going on about." She says, acknowledging defeat.
"Not even Ice Queen knows what she's talking about, huh?" Yang retorts with her, though receiving an icy glare from her older sister.
"Yang, as if you would know what he's talking about." Weiss fires back.
The student grasps his head as he kneels down in anxiety.
"This is horrible!" Immediately, his mind goes back to the moments leading up to this event. The image of Jaune Arc, Giorno offering his services, and the frog that was from the car. Snapping out of his thoughts, his eyes are focused.
"This is only a hunch, but..." He got up and ran around the corner of the car. "Excuse me!" He shouted, catching the attention of the two officers who did nothing to stop the theft. "Could I ask you some questions about that taxi driver?"
He asks the two officers, hoping to get a better idea on who Giorno was, all while the frog from earlier is seen hopping into a sewer grate.
"Okay, I'm a hundred percent sure. Giorno is our leader!" Nora declared. Though, her teammate, Pyrrha was quick to shoot that idea down.
"Nora, that wasn't concrete proof that he is our leader. And." She really didn't want to consider. "Even if he is. What about the times he stole lien, and that student's luggage?"
"Well," A dislikable voice had said. "I'd say that's something that he would do." Everyone turned their head to Cardin. "He did try and forge documents to get into Beacon. Who's to say that he wouldn't try and steal things, hm?"
"As much as I hate to admit it. He's probably right." Weiss had said, earning betrayed looks from the students around her. "Jaune might've been a good person. But who's to say that Cardin blackmailing and getting Jaune expelled was the final nail in the coffin that pushed him over the edge?" A little bit of sass coming from the Queen herself.
Cardin stopped smiling once that came out, and felt a murderous tension coming from the father of Jaune Arc. He turned towards it, only to be met with a burning blue glare into him. Needless to say, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
The scene changes to Giorno standing beside a chain link fence, with a car parking building off in the distance.
"I think it's about time…" He says as he looks up into the sky, watching an airship take off. He hears something off to the side of him. Turning around, he sees Luca.
Looking down, he sees the shovel.
'Oh no.' Is what most people who cared for Jaune thought. Afraid that Giorno might get harmed too. While the criminals of the cast were simply wanting to know if this guy is gonna get killed.
"Are you Giorno Giovanna?" Luca asks him. Giorno, in response, simply turned to face him completely, and bows slightly to greet him. He acknowledges this, simply nodded his head to indicate to follow him. They're walking in a park towards a small stone bench.
"This is the first time we're meeting." Luca stated. "Do you know who I am, Giorno." He asks him, with a sly smile, and his right eye tearing up.
"Leaky Eye Luca." Giorno says. "I heard that even after someone stabbed a knife deep into your face, you didn't stop fighting. And because of that," Luca takes a seat on the bench. "Even though your wound has healed, your eye is always watering."
"Leaky Eye Luca." Roman let out. "Got to admit, it's a pretty catchy name."
Luca takes out his handkerchief and dries his leaky eye before asking Giorno something.
"Hey, why don't you have a seat right here?" Giorno simply remained standing in front of Luca. The scene changes to over the shoulder of Giorno, to show Luca patting the spot where Giorno should sit.
"Come on, sit down. It's tiring having to look up at you to talk." This statement finally caused Giorno to give in, as he makes his way to the empty spot. Taking his seat, he begins his questioning.
"How old are you?"
"Fifteen."
"I guess this is what seals it. Giorno isn't Jaune." Pyrrha expressed. "Jaune is seventeen."
"Wait, you don't know?" Saphron questioned Pyrrha. To which she shook her head. "Jaune is fifteen."
"Wait, what?!" Teams RWBY and NPR were surprised, along with some of the teachers. Saphron continued.
"That's why I was so worried about him. My baby brother could be in a lot of danger right now."
Meanwhile, Ruby was currently having a mental struggle.
'Jaune. Who's taller than me, stronger than me. Is the same age as me. Ha...' Ruby couldn't help but lower her head in shame.
"Well, it explains why he's so inept at fighting." Weiss threw in.
"Fifteen?! Wow, you're just a kid!"
Ruby softly growled at hearing this. If Jaune is considered a kid, then what does that make her?
"Say, Giorno, there are three "yous" to remember in friendship." He says to Giorno, while drying out his eye. "Three "yous," got that?"
Giorno simply remained silent with a stoic look on his face.
"The first one is you don't lie. The second one is you don't hold grudges. And the third is you respect the other."
"Sounds good, right? Those are the three "yous" of friendship." After Luca had been finished with his monologue. Giorno finally speaks up.
"Can I help you?" Giorno stated, all friendliness in his tone gone. In response, Luca quickly grabs the shovel and pushes the handle to Giorno's chin.
"I'm the one talking right now! Who said you could ask questions, you dumbass?!" He pressed the shovel against Giorno, causing him to look irritated.
"I heard you've been working part-time around the airport..." The view changes, to show Giorno looking irritated, or to indicate that his temper is rising. "I, Leaky Eye Luca, haven't received any of the gifts that you should've given me out of respect yet."
Roman and Neo finally started to appreciate how this man does business.
The same, however, could not be said for everyone else in the theater. They despised this man, trying to disguise the fact that he's just trying to extort people for money while calling it a 'friendship'.
"How do you expect our friendship to last like that? Let me take a peek at your wallet."
"Luca." Giorno said as Luca took his wallet. "I already paid my protection fees. I don't have any money." He tried to explain to him. Though this didn't work.
"To the security guards?! That has nothing to do with me!" In one flick, he opened up Giorno's wallet. Only to find it empty with a single photo.
The photo revealed to be a man with sharp features looking away from the camera. The man had blonde hair, with a star on his back. The photo on the top is labeled, "DIO BRANDO" in orange.
"What's this? A photo of a family member?" Luca said as he checked the empty wallet. "Where's my money? I want the money! Show me your wallet!"
"Geez, can't this guy take a hint." Yang spoke out, her anger flaring up.
"Jaune doesn't have any money left!" Ruby noted.
Pyrrha, however, was more concerned with the photo.
"Excuse me, Mr. Arc. Who's Dio Brando? Is he a family member?"
"No, I don't know who this Dio Brando person is." Nicolas had told his son's team member.
"Luca..." Giorno uttered out. Slowly standing up from the stone bench. "Don't make me say the same thing twice. I told you, I already paid, so I don't have any." This solicited Luca to hitch his breath in irritation.
"Don't make me say it a third time." Giorno declared, before quickly ducking back to avoid a sharp swing of Luca's shovel.
Luca's shovel hit the ground, kicking up dirt and breaking the ground. As Giorno stepped back to brace himself for another attack, the frog from the car came out of a sewer grate had started to climb up Giorno's clothing.
"You little shit!" Luca uttered, before hesitating as he noticed the small green frog climb up Giorno.
"What the hell is that creature?" Luca pointed to it with his shovel, causing Giorno to look down to see it.
"It came back." Giorno observed
"Smack it off!"
"This frog has nothing to do with this. I won't smack it off."
"I gave you an order, and I told you to pay me a protection fee!" Luca demanded. "So you're going to disobey both of those? You're going to tell me, Leaky Eye Luca, "no" to both of those things?!"
"For a criminal, he sure is acting childish." Glynda stated coldly.
"This is a living creature that has its own conscience," Giorno announced. "and it's thinking on its own. You really shouldn't. I could never just smack it off." Giorno continued, but it was fruitless as Luca mumbled to himself, his tone raising.
"Don't! It's harmless as long as you don't do anything!" Luca completely ignored his warning as he went straight in for the kill.
"You're finished!" Luca screamed, as the shovel dug into Giorno's chest.
"JAUNE!" The younger cast members harmoniously called out.
While the adults, along with the villains and Cardin, held their breath, anticipating on what happens next.
The scene shows where the shovel targeted, as well as Luca's eyes. After a second, the frog peaks out, revealing itself to be unharmed.
"I told you not to." Giorno looks up. "It's not even that loyal to me yet." The angle changes to show Luca standing there, oddly calm about the whole thing. While the frog continues to climb up Giorno.
"It's just trying to protect itself. It has its own life." The scene wraps itself around Luca, before revealing the back of his skull being caved in, with the same marks of the shovel. "Any attack on it becomes an attack on oneself, and it's fatal."
Ruby panicked after seeing how messed up an injury Luca received. Yang, with her protection instinct coming in, came over to shield Ruby. Ren and Nora held each other to comfort what had been seen. Sun, Neptune, Blake, and Weiss averted their gaze away from the screen.
Roman got the urge to light up another cigarette while Neo happily took another spoonful of ice cream.
Among Ozpin's group and the teachers were trying to focus more on just what is Giorno's semblance.
But Cardin went wide-eyed, he's not a hundred percent certain that Giorno is Jaune. But if he is, then what would happen if the two were to meet. Would he kill him with his semblance for what he did to him? It was this simple thought that turned his stomach.
As Luca slowly fell down to the ground, his shovel that was lodged into Giorno fell down, undoing his jacket, revealing a bit more skin.
"And… I asked you not to make me say it a third time." Giorno remarked as he held the frog in his right hand. With the camera showing his star on the back of his neck.
"Making me say the same thing over and over again," Giorno begun, while the frog he held in his hand expanded to become the luggage that belonged to the Mistralian student. "is useless. And I hate that because it's useless." Giorno began to walk away from the scene. Leaving Luca's limp body behind. "Totally useless."
A/N: I was only able to complete this chapter because I had a free day today. So the next chapter might take a bit longer. While writing out the dialogue for the RWBY cast, I found myself repeating certain phrases and ideas. The one most present is the cast thinking he is Giorno is Jaune, and then doubting themselves, only to go back on that once again. That is one thing I hoped I toned down when I edited this.
Btw, I really underestimated how long and how much things happen in a single episode. This chapter and the chapter before it equates to two / thirds of just episode one. So I hope to complete the rest of episode one by next chapter.
Again, let me know if there's anything I should fix. Spelling mistakes, better words to improve grammar, etc.
