OK, quick authors note, this chapter contains a rape scene, almost right off the bat. For those of you who are uncomfterble with this, jump to the part with the bold text. I understand if some of you find it uncouth and unnecessary, but please remember that this is inspired by Berserk (For those of you who didn't figure it out, I'll talk a bit more about this later.)
"Jaune Arc," the teen slowly raised his head at the sound of the voice, a smooth and silky one that roused him from his slumber. He quickly wished he hadn't, he was in hell. Grimm shifted and stirred all around him, their red eyes boring into his soul as he struggled against his bonds. Black metal cut into his arms as he screamed to the red sky in horror, "Please…don't scream, you'll only agitate them."
Jaune quickly whirled his head around to get a view of the speaker, it appeared to be a woman, with white skin, black veins, and the same piercing red eyes of the Grimm. She smiled as she moved closer, the Grimm all making a path for her. Her black dress fluttered as she got closer, her hand gently caressed Jaune's cheek. The teen flinched at the woman's touch, the woman didn't seem insulted…more enraptured by it.
"I've watched you Jaune," The woman whispered as she ran her hand along his body, Jaune looked down to see himself nude, "I've watched you since you joined Beacon, ever since you decided to fight against the Grimm."
"You've enraptured me for a long time," The woman continued as she stared into his eyes, "Why would an innocent soul like you fight so hard in a war that was none of his business? Why would fate determine that he would end up with Pyrrha Nikos?"
Jaune growled at the woman mentioning her name, the woman merely smiled as he struggled against the chains that held him fast.
"I felt you're hatred as she was slain," The woman said as she leaned in, "Your hate…for everyone, for Ozpin risking her, for Cinder killing her, for Ruby not being fast enough, for Weiss not being powerful enough…and for you not being strong enough."
"Shut up," Jaune said in a pathetic whisper, "Shut up…"
"Oh…I'm far from done," The woman said as she leaned back, "I saw how your hatred of the people who hurt you twisted inside of you like a knife, tearing out your once humble heart. Now…you seek to find a key to what might be your vengeance."
"Shut up!" Jaune yelled, pulling at his bonds once more.
"I could taste your misery," The woman said as she grabbed Jaune and pulled herself closer, "I could drink it, I could barely contain myself. My Grimm didn't just want to find you, they didn't want to kill you…they wanted you to mount them, to feel your agony first hand."
"What the hell are you talking about? Grimm only exist to feed on us…" Jaune said in astonishment, right before choking as the woman suddenly grabbed him and pulled him into a kiss. The knight clamped his jaws tight, trying to bite the woman's tongue. The woman pulled out, a slight amount of blood running out of her mouth. She smiled, the blood staining her teeth as she laughed.
"Hold him down." The woman ordered, the Grimm around them shifted as two Grimm with tentacles came forward, each grabbing two limbs. They slowly spread his legs apart, the woman approached and looked at his nude body. She slowly drew her hands across his chest, stopping at his member. The woman crawled onto his chest, her smile never leaving her face.
She moved herself up to his face, forcing him to look deep into her eyes. The eyes of a predator filled his soul as she moved her hips, the knight yelling at himself as his body reacted. His cock stiffening as she hovered over it, the woman motioned her lips as she slowly lowered herself down. Jaune yelled as he felt the warmth encapsulate him, the woman reveling in the sounds. She bounced herself, grinding him, she grabbed his ass and pulled. The knight could feel the nails of the woman digging into his flesh, the woman reveling in his agony.
She let go and grabbed his hips, forcing him to buck into her, the knight screaming all the while. Jaune could feel his body reacting, his cock readying for the final conclusion. The woman could tell it was approaching as well, for she locked her legs around him, forcing him to release inside of her. She screamed in ecstasy as he did it, her climax hitting after his.
Jaune fell to the floor, his body covered in sweat as the woman slowly got to her feet. She looked over the fallen teen and smiled once more, she turned to her minions.
And rape is over…you may continue…
"This is mine, none of you get to have him," She ordered, the Grimm growled, but turned away and left them. She leaned down and grabbed Jaune's left arm, biting down on it, "Now…you're mine Jaune Arc…and that's what you'll always be."
"Pyrrha…" Jaune whispered as the woman turned away, "I'm so sorry."
Suddenly, a cracking sound filled the air, the woman whirled around to see what appeared to be a fractured mirror. The mirror fractured more…until it shattered, and a figure filled the light. It was huge, riding a horse, wearing a skull and armor that was made of bone. It held up a huge blade as it charged, swinging at the woman, who merely dodged it.
The horse rider ran past her, grabbing the teens limp body and throwing it unto its horse. It whirled around and kept running, right past the woman into the white light. The woman watched as the pair disappeared, before smiling. She had what she came for, both of them in fact. She wouldn't finish this war, she didn't have the power anymore, Ozpin had made sure of that. She had ensured that Jaune would be her greatest masterpiece…and that his seed was within her.
Jaune woke up on the cold pavement of the arena, next to the dead body of Penny. His goal, his arm ached as he looked over to see the bite mark in his flesh. The knight looked up to see…it, the being wearing bone. He yelped as he jumped to his feet, raising his hands in a feeble defense. The being looked at him…before shaking its head, almost in sorrow.
Jaune's posture relaxed, he didn't know why…but it felt like the being didn't mean him any harm.
"Who are you?" The knight asked, the being faced Jaune once again. It didn't reply, "Going for the mystery man?"
The being still did not answer.
"Great…Well…I guess I need to thank you," Jaune said as he looked around, "You brought me here, to my objective and you saved me…I am in your debt."
Jaune started to say more, but suddenly his hand started burning. His eyes snapped to his left arm, the bite mark had started steaming off black smoke. He could feel the burning crawling in his blood, it was moving up. The knight had heard of this before…of the Grimm corruption, of its agony. The knight's head snapped towards the being in front of him, he wasn't going to let this stop him…
Those people who caused this…they needed to pay, Ozpin, Adam…those two had to die. He had seen what Cinder was…he couldn't kill her, but he had to be alive to finish this. His eyes snapped to the beings sword, there was only one way to stop the corruption. Jaune ran over and grabbed the sword, lifting it up and slashing his arm. The blade was serrated, so he just kept sawing away. It was akin to a chainsaw, slicing through his arm in seconds.
The being stepped towards him, catching him as he fell.
"You stupid fool…" Jaune could swear he heard Pyrrha's voice as he fell into the blackness, well…this wasn't the worst way to die…at least he'd get to finally see her again.
Jaune woke in a cold sweat, grabbing his sword as he rocketed up…a dream…only a dream. A dream of that night, he wiped his face clean as he got up. He was in a forest, dawn was approaching as he stomped out his fire. It had been three months since his destruction of the dragon, in those three months, the kingdoms had come together to rebuild. There was still debate amongst them about who should be punished, who should be awarded, but for now…everything was safe.
Jaune Arc, however, remained controversial amongst people, someone had leaked the limited information on him to the public and it seemed like everyone thought he was either a psychopath or a black angel. The swordsman, however, ignored the talk, he could hear it anytime he walked through a town, endless debates and worthless banter.
He didn't care, all he knew was his destination, Jaune had found a list of possible hideouts for Ozpin in his computer and had been working his way down the list. The sun was coming up over the trees, he was in a forest. It was early morning, the birds sang as he grabbed his bag and kicked out his fire. It would have been beautiful, had Jaune the energy to care. The swordsman started walking, his eyes staying on the ground in front of him.
Memories still flooded to him, of that night, the night after when he dragged Penny back, that night with Neo…Jaune quickly shook that out of his head. She would have had her baby by now, good…hopefully it was healthy. He couldn't go back, though, he knew that for sure. Jaune knew what he had become, he was not suited to be a father. His eyes snapped up suddenly, his breath held.
He suddenly raised his blade, blocking a gust of lightning. Jaune rolled away, before whirling around to see his assailant. It was a woman, she wore black and red as well as a Grimm mask. Her hand bore a katana, one that had a deep red tinge to it. Jaune snarled as he looked her over, he know who she was.
"Jaune Arc," The woman said as she started to circle him, "Cease this fool's errand at once."
"Oh really? Why should I?" The teen replied, his grip on his weapon tightening.
"The war is over, you've won…you don't need to add Ozpin to your list of victims." The woman answered, taking a step back as she readied a blow.
"That's a laugh," Jaune said as he followed her movements, "Coming from you, I've heard of the dead bodies you've left in your wake."
"Jaune…killing Ozpin isn't the right path, of all the things you've done, this one will bring nothing but pain and ruin…" The woman said right before Jaune cut her off.
"Shut up!" He yelled, "I won't let you lecture me on right and wrong, you have no right!"
Jaune charged as he swung his sword, the woman raising hers to block it. A bad move on her part, as the blade sent her flying. She landed on her feet, however, and charged back in to swing again. Jaune blocked it and the two stared into each other's eyes, Jaune's snarl meeting with the woman's calm in-difference.
"You abandoned your own daughter!" He yelled as he shoved her back, following up with a swing that caught her and sent her into a tree. She landed on her feet and dodged another slash, "You let her be hung to dry by the public!"
"You don't know what you're talking about…" The woman said as she slashed Jaune across the chest, the blade doing nothing to the armor. Jaune growled as he rammed into her, dragging his blade up and catching her in the chest again. The woman stood her ground and followed up with quick slashes at the teen, he merely raised his sword to deflect them off.
"I do…Raven, I read all of Ozpin's files," Jaune yelled as he slashed again, this time the woman ducked under it and slashed at his stomach as she rolled past. The blade, once again, failed to pierce the armor. The teen growled as he leapt back, clearing enough room to bring his blade around, the tip gently touching the ground as it came around, narrowly missing Raven, "I know that you left her own daughter, that you've been hunting the White Fang for years now. I know why you left, and you make me sick!"
Raven quickly dove in, kicking the teen in the face, hoping to disorient him. The teen shook it off as he grabbed the woman, throwing her away. He followed up as he leapt into the air, slamming his foot into the woman's chest, sending her to the ground. Jaune raised his foot again, Raven tried to reach for her blade that had been sent away from her grasp, only to realize that it was just out of her reach.
A shot rang out, forcing Jaune back, he landed with a growl as his eyes found the assailant. He groaned as he did.
"Well…Raven, you've lost your touch." The man in grey said as he took a swig from his hip flask.
"Shut up Qrow," She muttered as she got to her feet, "How did you find me?"
"Easy, I just followed the sounds of total bitch," The man said as he readied his weapon, currently in sword form, "Jaune…I didn't expect to ever see you."
"Same here," Jaune growled, "Get out of my way."
"Afraid I can't do that," Qrow said as he took a step forward, "You see, me and Ozpin are old friends…I can't just let you kill him."
"Then I'm sorry for what's about to happen," The teen snarled, "I'm afraid Ruby's going to lose a role model."
Jaune charged forward, Qrow shifting to the side to avoid the blade. Normally, this would have confused his opponent, but Jaune was far too enraged to care. He simply pushed forward, his sword acting like a plow as he shouldered Qrow. The older man whirled around, attempting to slash at his opponent. Jaune merely ducked out of the way, the teen rolling out of the way.
Qrow jumped back, landing back near Raven as she got to her feet. The teen stared at them both, readying himself for them to make a move.
"Qrow…" Raven started before the man cut her off.
"I know, we have to work together, just like old times." The man said as he readied his blade.
"It's not just that," Raven said as she stuck her blade into her sheath, drawing it out with fire glowing in it, "He hasn't used the Beast Dust."
"Really?" Qrow asked, "That's a bit concerning."
"I need you to distract him, his armor's tough but I think I can get through it." The woman said as she looked at her super-heated blade.
"Got it…I guess I'm pretty good at distracting people." The man said with a laugh as he slowly moved in, Raven setting herself up to attack. Jaune growled as the man approached, his eyes not leaving Qrow's face. The man stopped, grinned, before yelling as he charged in. Jaune raised his weapon to block Qrows, the man's smaller blade bouncing off the black swordsman huge one.
The former white knight swung his sword again, only for Qrow to lean back and dodge it. The older man then followed up by back flipping, kicking Jaune in the process, and then jumping in to deal a blow across the teen's chest. Jaune felt the blow as he took a step back, only to sally forth with his own hard chop. Qrow rolled out of the way, allowing the dirt to come up.
Jaune looked around, his hand tight on his blade. Qrow must have known this was going to happen, the dust could covering his tracks. Jaune's head turned sharply as he heard footsteps approaching, a red hot blade coming into his vision. He turned…only to have a blow come down on the back of his right knee, a quick glance revealed the wily man's grin.
Jaune's eyes snapped back to the blade as it pierced his shoulder, the teen didn't make a sound as it pierced his flesh. His eyes went up to Ravens, the woman staring into them expecting pain and defeat. The knight didn't even flinch at that, instead, he reached up with his left hand and grabbed the blade. The metal on his hand resisting the plasma heated blade as he pulled it out, Raven's eyes widened as she saw this, but before she could react…Jaune slammed his head backwards, slamming it into Qrow's.
The teen growled as Raven noticed the blade starting to crack and buckle, only to yelp as it broke. Jaune surged forward, grabbing the woman before she could react. She screamed as Jaune did what he did next, jamming the still hot blade into her side.
"Raven!" Qrow yelled as Jaune tossed her aside like a rag doll before he turned to face the older man, Qrow took a step back. This wasn't right, why didn't Jaune react when the blade pierced his flesh? He hadn't used the Beast Dust, the man's thoughts were interrupted when Jaune charged forward. Jaune growled as the limber opponent jumped back, a frown on his face.
"Jaune…stop this," Qrow said, holding his hand up in an attempt to calm the teen down, "We can go back to Beacon, we can talk this over, and I assure you…we can get justice for Pyrrha."
"No you won't," The teen growled as he started circling around the older man, "Ozpin will just be remembered as a hero, all his accomplishments will be revealed and he'll be set free. The world won't believe that he should be held responsible for her."
"I can see that you're not going to stand down," Qrow muttered as he looked into the teen's wild eyes, he had seen the look multiple times before, on people like himself, "But I can't let you do that…"
As he finished, his weapon extended, a large scythe appearing in his hand. The kid gloves had come off, it was time to finish this. He charged in, screaming and slashing. Jaune roared as he met the charge with one of his own, their blades clashed, sending sparks out in all directions. Qrow tried to find openings in Jaune's defenses, but Jaune just kept coming. The older knew exactly what Jaune was doing, he was trying to keep his close enough so Qrow couldn't swing properly.
Too bad for Jaune that Qrow didn't get to be old without learning a few tricks, the old man suddenly dove between Jaune's leg, catching the teens leg and dragging him down. Jaune fell to the forest floor with a mighty clash, his groan echoing as Qrow jumped into the air. Jaune didn't have time to turn around as the man came down, Jaune gasped in pain as he saw the huge blade erupt from his chest.
Qrow had stabbed him, stabbed him in the back with a huge blade. The old man looked at the body with sad eyes, the kid didn't deserve this, and especially since he had…the man's thoughts were disrupted as Jaune suddenly turned around and seized him by the throat.
"I'm not going to die so easily!" Jaune yelled as he slammed Qrow into the ground, the man gasping as he landed. Jaune reached behind himself and pulled out the blade, the wound healing.
"Damn…missed your vital organs…" Qrow groaned as Jaune picked him up, pulling him to his face. The two stared into each other's eyes…right before Jaune growled and raised the man up. He growled as he brought his left hand up and placed it against Qrow's chest, the arm transformed into its cannon. Qrow didn't have time to make a quip as the cannon fired, sending him flying across the ground. A burn mark on his chest, "What?"
"I don't want to kill you," Jaune growled as he righted himself, raising his cannon up, "I can adjust its power. I'll give you a warning, don't try to stop me. Next time, I'll set it to kill."
"Jaune," Qrow muttered as he got to his feet, grabbing a nearby tree for support, "Please…come back, team RWBY misses you."
"It's too late for me," Jaune growled as he turned, "They're better off without me."
"Jaune…come back…your children are waiting." Qrow begged, hoping that this would at least put some doubt.
"Children? I should only have…" Jaune said as he stopped, looking at the ground, "Unless…heh…I guess she succeeded then."
"Jaune, the child is yours, and hers," Qrow gasped as he took a step forward, "But it's not evil, come home…raise it…"
"No…I've seen it in my dreams," Jaune said with a laugh, "She's better off with Ruby and Weiss."
"Jaune…" Qrow said again, only for Jaune to keep walking forward, "JAUNE!"
The knight vanished as he went deeper, leaving Qrow and Raven alone. Qrow walked over to the woman and fell down to look at her wound, he sighed a sigh of relief as he realized it wasn't serious.
"Qrow…do you think he can do it?" Raven whispered as she looked at the man.
"I don't know," Qrow said as he leaned over and grabbed his weapon, only look strongly at the blood, "Hang on…"
Raven's eyebrows rose as she saw him run his hand along his blade, rubbing the blood between his fingers.
"No wonder…" The man muttered.
"What?" Raven asked, her voice concerned.
"His blood…it's thinner than it should be a sign of the Beast Dust," Qrow replied as he turned, "One of the long term effects is losing the ability to feel physical sensations…I think Jaune can barely feel any physical contact anymore."
"That explains why he didn't use the Beast Dust, he didn't need it, he was already fighting without limits." The woman said as she crawled to a tree and rested her head.
"Yeah…but it also means one other thing…" Qrow muttered, "Jaune's dying, I don't think he has much time left…"
A few weeks later…
Jaune stared at the base, his head covered with a white hood. This was the last base, and he knew Ozpin was here…he could feel it.
"Jaune!" A voice came from behind him, he whirled around to see team RWBY standing behind him, Ruby was speaking, and "Jaune…we found you."
"No…go home…" Jaune growled as he turned to enter the metal doors.
"No Jaune," Ruby said as she pulled out her weapon, "You're coming home…with us, to your family."
"I can't…" Jaune growled, turning around suddenly and throwing a small sphere at them.
"Flashbang!" Blake yelled, the group averting their eyes. The flash went off, and the team's all snapped towards the entrance, now open. Jaune was working at the computer.
"Ruby!" The three girls yelled, Ruby nodding as she surged forward. The doors starting closing, but the red head managed to make it through. She landed in a large warehouse with a grunt, only to have a hand grab her by her hood.
"Why are you?!" Jaune yelled into her face, Ruby was taken aback by his rage, "Why are you trying to stop me?!"
"Because…you're my friend!" Ruby yelled back, reaching for him, "I can't let you do this, come home…let this go."
As she said that, she pushed off his hood…and gasped. Jaune's hair was pitch black, his eye's glazed over, his beard running down his chest, and his breathing ragged. Ruby's eyes filled with tears…no…it was too late.
"I'm sorry Ruby," Jaune said quietly as he reached behind his back, "I can't stop…not yet…it's more than Pyrrha now."
Jaune pulled out a device and stuck it on her shirt, a blue force field encasing her as she fell to her knees. He turned to regard the third man in the room.
"Mr. Arc," Ozpin said, "I've been waiting for you."
Both stared at each other, this was it…this was the finale. Jaune snarled, it would end here, his pain, his sorrow, his rage, and his guilt.
And that chapter is over. I apologize for not getting this done sooner, some things came up and it took longer than expected. I might have the final chapter uploaded before the premier of Volume 4, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
On a different topic, I know that everyone has been asking me this and I think it's time to clear it up. Yes, this is a Berserk inspired story, as for why it's not in the Crossover category there is a reason. The reason is that, in my opinion, a cross over is when something from a universe makes a complete crossover, like Gut's showing up in RWBY or Jaune showing up in Berserk. This story is in that grey area, and I don't think it fits into the full crossover category.
Anyways, enough of that, once again, thank you all for reading this story, the finale is coming up. Stay tuned! (Also, I don't know how well I wrote it, but please, for the love of all is holy, if you found the rape scene erotic, please don't jerk of to it.)
