I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING.
Nora was practically vibrating in her seat. Saphron was smiling brightly at her brother, this would definitely be good teasing material.
"So…Should we continue with Jaune Hamilton? Or Sun Laurens" asked Yang in a teasing tone.
"I quite enjoyed the music. Garfield did say that Alexander was a founder of the country. I still can't believe that the dunce could have actually made a difference in founding a nation. Neptune makes sense though." Weiss replied to Yang.
"Jaune was awesome in that! I wanna see more of revolutionary Jaune!" shouted an excited Ruby
Nora smiled, "Hell yeah, Did you hear his rhyming flow! It was so good. When do we see the fighting though?"
"I'm sure it will be soon, Nora." Ren said, trying to calm her down.
"Well, I for one want to see more of that world." An excited Scarlet spoke. "Musicals are my jam. It was cool to see two of my teammates there too!"
"So. We just keep watching that world? Works for me." Said Sun, Beer in hand.
"Woah, Where did you get that?" asked Jaune.
"Dude, Did you forget? Think or speak, and it appears." Sun deadpanned his friend.
Jaune felt stupid for a moment before he made a decision. A bottle of "Ansel Honey Mead" appeared in his hand. Jaune took a short sip and sighed. "Ah, A taste of home. Thanks for the reminder Sun." he said with a satisfied smile.
Saphron looked at her brother like he just had the best idea ever, before a bottle of the same mead appeared in her hand. "Hé, petit frère. A la maison!" she yelled to Jaune.
Jaune smirked. "Ne buvez pas trop d'alcool, Saph, vous êtes un poids plume."
Jaune's friends looked confused. What the hell were they saying?
Saphron looked offended. "Ne t'avise pas de dire des choses comme ça Jauney! Ne m'oblige pas à dire à Blanc où se trouve ton vieux journal, parce que je le SAIS! et je sais ce qu'il contient!"
Jaune's blood turned to ice and he went pale, he raised his hands in surrender. "D'accord Saph, tu as gagné!"
His friends watched in a mix of confusion and amusement as the two siblings bickered. Saphron looked pleased with herself. Jaune just looked defeated. He finally looked at his friends.
"Oh, it's nothing you need to worry about. Feels good to speak to another Ansel-born like myself." he stated
"If you're all quite done. I think it's time to tally the votes." Their host said. "Alright so let's see here. 14 for stay & 11 for move on. Looks like we'll stay in this world for a little longer. Well, No use waiting any longer. Are you all ready?" the god asked
Everyone took their seats. Nora made sure to get herself a plate of pancakes. Everyone else got their preferred drinks or water. Qrow of course refilled his flask.
The scene opens with the four of them sitting in the now dark bar, their table lit by just a candle. More beers are seen on the table.
[Jaune]
I may not live to see our glory!
[Nep/Yatsu/Sun]
I may not live to see our glory!
[Jaune]
But I will gladly join the fight!
[Nep/Yatsu/Sun]
But I will gladly join the fight!
Sun, Neptune and Jaune all clinked their drinks together. Whatever was happening in this world, at least they would be bros.
"Well, they are revolutionaries. It's good that they know they might not see the end of it." Said Blake who was thinking back to her time in the White Fang and the friends she lost.
[Jaune]
And when our children tell our story…
[Nep/Yatsu/Sun]
And when our children tell our story…
[Jaune]
They'll tell the story of tonight
[Yatsuhashi]
Let's have another round tonight
[Neptune]
Let's have another round tonight
[Jaune]
Let's have another round tonight
Weiss scoffed, "Don't you think you've had enough?" she questioned the quartet incredulously.
Yatsu and Neptune just shrugged.
Sun smirked. "I'm from Vacuo. Wine and whisky flow through the streets like water does a river. It'll take more than some beer to knock me out."
Jaune smiled, "My family actually owns a small wine & meadery. Saph and I have been drinking since we were young. Granted, mom wasn't exactly thrilled about it."
[Sun]
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
No matter what they tell you
Raise a glass to the four of us
[Jaune/Yatsu]
Tomorrow there'll be more of us
[Nep/Yatsu/Sun]
Telling the story of tonight
[Jaune]
They'll tell the story of tonight
[Nep/Yatsu/Sun]
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
[Jaune]
No matter what they tell you
"I like how relaxed this is. Just four bro's drinking and singing. Reminds me of old times, right Tai?" asked Qrow
Tai laughed, "You, me, Port and Bart. Ha, those are long ago. We should see if they wanna go out sometime soon. It's been ages since we've done anything as a group."
[Yatsu/Nep]
Let's have another round tonight
[Sun]
Raise a glass to the four of us
[Jaune/Nep/Yatsu/Sun]
Tomorrow there'll be more of us
[Jaune/Sun]
Telling the story of tonight
The scene shifts to the quartet stumbling down the road drunk off their collective asses. A very drunk Jaune takes a moment to admire the night sky.
[Yatsu/Nep]
Let's have another round tonight
[Jaune /Sun/ Ensemble & Yatsu /Nep /Ensemble]
They'll tell the story of tonight
Raise a glass to freedom
They'll tell the story of tonight
Raise a glass to freedom
They'll tell the story of tonight
They'll tell the story of—
[Full Ensemble]
Tonight
"That was nice." Said the usually stoic general. "I remember when I first joined the Atlesian Army I was just like those four."
"Really Jimmy? You?" Qrow interrogated.
"Qrow, I didn't always have so many responsibilities. You try running a huntsman academy and a military at the same time. I'm not exactly swimming in freetime anymore."
Qrow raised his hands in surrender.
[Ren]
There's nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor
They pull up in their carriages and gawk
At the students in the common
Just to watch them talk
Weiss squawked in protest.
Take Philip Schuyler: the man is loaded
Uh-oh, but little does he know that
His daughters
, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at—
[Company]
Work, work!
[Pyrrha]
Angelica!
Pyrrha smiled seeing herself in an elegant dress with her hair down.
"Look Renny. There's Pyr-Pyr! She looks so pretty!" said the bubbly ginger
"Yes, Nora I see her." Ren calmly responded
[Company]
Work, work!
[Ruby]
Eliza!
"Look at my little sister. Why can't I ever get you to wear dresses? You look so cute." Yang cooed
Ruby grumbled
[Penny]
And Peggy!
"Penny?" Ruby, Winter and Ironwood said at the same time.
"So, I've been replaced by Pyrrha and now Rubes has a lil sis of her own. You're gonna break my heart!" Yang cried over dramatically.
[Company]
Work, work!
The Schuyler sisters!
[Pyrrha]
Angelica!
[Penny]
Peggy!
[Ruby]
Eliza!
[Company]
Work!
[Penny]
Daddy said to be home by sundown
"Ah Penny, Ever the daddies' girl." The general said fondly.
[Pyrrha]
Daddy doesn't need to know
[Penny]
Daddy said not to go downtown
[Ruby]
Like I said, you're free to go
"Look at you two rebels. Ruby, why wasn't I there for your rebel phase?" Yang teased.
Ruby stuck her tongue out at Yang and fist bumped Pyrrha.
[Pyrrha]
But—look around, look around,
the
Revolution's happening in New York
[Ruby/Penny]
New York
[Company]
Angelica
[Schuyler Sisters And Company]
Work!
[Penny]
It's bad enough daddy wants to go to war
[Ruby]
People shouting in the square
"Likely our drunk revolutionary quartet." Coco said with a smirk. This earned a snort from Pyrrha.
Said quartet all made noises of agreement.
[Penny]
It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore
[Pyrrha]
New ideas in the air
"Ah yes, Wartime always brings about innovation. Like the first use of modern airships in the Faunus war, Or guns becoming more widespread during the great war." The old Wizard mused.
"It's a shame that we can't be that productive in creating new ideas in peacetime." Ironwood said sadly
[Pyrrha and Male Ensemble]
Look around, look around—
[Ruby]
Angelica, remind me what we're looking for…
[All Men]
She's lookin' for me!
[Pyrrha & Company]
Eliza, I'm lookin' for a mind at work (Work, work)
I'm lookin' for a mind at work! (Work, work)
I'm lookin' for a mind at work! (Work, work)
Whooaaaaa!
[Ruby/Pyrrha/Penny with Company]
Whooaaaaa!
Work!
[Ren]
Wooh! There's nothin' like summer in the city
Someone in a rush next to someone lookin' pretty
Excuse me, miss, I know it's not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddy's got money
The screen showed the three girls shooting a glare at Ren that could melt steel, , as Ren lightly held Pyrrha's wrist.
"Damn Ren, If looks could kill. You would have been vaporized." Jaune said.
"I don't think I've ever seen Ruby scowl like that at someone." Yang commented. "Looks like she's a bit more Thorny here? Eh." She received collective groans for her bad joke.
Why you slummin' in the city in your fancy heels
You searchin for an urchin who can give you ideals?
While most of the room laughed at Ren's poor flirting attempts Jaune looked at his brother in all but blood.
"Ren. For your own sake. You're probably safer if you didn't do something like that in our world."
Ren scoffed. "Why would I, Jaune?" he asked
"You wouldn't, I know that but still." he subtly gestured to Nora who looked like she wanted to rip someone's throat out. "I think we would all be safer." he concluded
Ren just nodded his head and wrapped an arm around Nora to calm her down
[Pyrrha]
Burr, you disgust me
[Ren]
Ah, so you've discussed me
I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me!
The screen showed Penny and Ruby's eye twitching. No doubt in annoyed anger.
[Pyrrha]
I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
You want a revolution? I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration:
[Ruby/Pyrrha/Penny]
"We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal"
[Pyrrha]
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson
[Company]
Unh!
[Pyrrha]
I'm 'a compel him to include women in the sequel!
[Women]
Work!
"Wait, They weren't considered equal?" asked Terra, Who looked confused and angry.
"This is set in a time period where Women are not considered equal to men. It's a time period thing. Although it didn't really happen in your world. This is a world without Grimm or Aura. Purely biological, most men are stronger physically than most women. As such many governments are patriarchal in nature. However this world has gotten a lot better now."
The women in the group were understandably pissed off.
[Ruby]
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now!
[Ruby/Penny]
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now!
[Ruby/Pyrrha/Penny]
History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be
In the greatest city in the world!
[Schuyler Sisters And Company]
In the greatest city in the world!
[Pyrrha, Ruby/Penny & Men]
'Cause I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
Look around, look around
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
The revolution's happening in—
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Weiss was amazed. "They are all singing in harmony."
"Almost sounds like walking around downtown Atlas," said Winter.
[Pyrrha, Ruby/Penny, Women]
You want a revolution? I want a revelation
New York!
Look around, look around, the revolution's happening
In New York!
So listen to my declaration:
[Pyrrha/Ruby/Penny, Female Ensemble, & Women]
We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal
Look around, look around
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Whoo!
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
Hey, hey, hey, hey
"I'm definitely impressed." Said Velvet, who had been quietly enjoying the show up until now.
"It's all mixed perfectly." said Saphron.
[Full Company]
Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now!
History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be
[All Women]
In the greatest city in the world
[All Men]
In the greatest city—
[Company]
In the greatest city in the world!
[Company & Pyrrha]
Work, work! Angelica
[Company, Ruby, & Penny]
Work, work! Eliza
And Peggy!
[Company & Pyrrha/Ruby/Penny]
Work, work!
The Schuyler sisters
Work, work
We're looking for a mind at work
Work, work (Hey)
Work, work (Hey)
Work, work
[Company, Pyrrha, & Ruby/Penny]
Work, work
Whoa!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Work, work
In the greatest city in the world
In the greatest city in the world
[Company]
In the greatest city in the world
"OhmygoshthatwassoawesomeIwishIcouldsinglikethat!" Ruby said excitedly
"Ruby, Calm down." Weiss said in a scolding tone. "I'm sure given practice and time, you could learn to sing like your counterpart."
Yang's giggling drew her team's attention. "The way they all just humiliated Ren like that! Hahahaha. That was fun to watch, sorry Ren."
The screen changed and the beacon students were surprised to see Dove Bronzewing standing atop a small stage.
The audience laughs at his expense. Coco was horrified to see the outfit Dove was wearing. Team's CFVY & JNPR all took a picture of him on their scroll for blackmail. He was a dick back home. They thought that this ought to make him stop.
[Dove]
Hear ye, hear ye!
My name is Samuel Seabury
And I present "Free Thoughts on the
Proceedings of the Continental Congress!"
Heed not the rabble who scream revolution
They have not your interests at heart
Onscreen, the quartet looked pissed.
[Yatsuhashi]
Oh my God. Tear this dude apart
Jaune's eyes seemed to glow with mischievous intent and he gave Yatsu a Smirk.
"I think he's speaking for all of us, Jaune." Pyrrha chimed in.
"Hell yeah! Make him regret the day he messed with team Avid!" Sun shouted, earning him stares. "What?" he asked.
"Avid?" Yatsuhashi questioned.
"Yah, Avid. Arc, Vasilias, Wukong, Daichi. AVWD. I'll admit it's a stretch. But that's all I could come up with for a color." Sun defended.
"So, Avid? What color is it?" Neptune asked his friend.
"It's a light Orange, kinda like the color of an Apricot." Sun stated.
"Why Is Jaune the leader?" Questioned Sage.
"Duh, Because he's the one singing." Sun answered like it was the dumbest question he had ever received.
"And Jauney's the best leader ever!" Nora shouted enthusiastically.
"At least he doesn't abandon his team to stow away on a ship, and illegally enter another kingdom." Scarlet seethed. Sun rubbed the back of his neck, slightly embarrassed. Jaune cringed briefly, remembering the time he was blackmailed by Cardin.
[Dove]
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don't let them lead you astray
This Congress does not speak for me
Jaune starts making his way to the small stage Dove is on. Until he is stopped by Ren.
[Ren]
Let him be
"Jaune, You must know. I'm not that easy to distract." Ren said, having just watched Jaune's counterpart point and make him look away from him.
"It worked on you yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that." Jaune stated smugly
Ren's cheeks grew redder by the second.
"Aww, Renny. Don't be embarrassed! We all have those moments." Nora tried to support him. Her and Pyrrha's giggling didn't help
[Dove]
They're playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame, for shame…
[Jaune & Dove]
Yo!
He'd have you all unravel at the sound of screams
Heed not the rabble
But the Revolution is comin'
who scream Revolution, They
The have-nots are gonna win this
have not your interests
It's hard to listen to you with a straight face
at heart
"I like how they are syncing up. It sounds nice." Velvet said quietly.
Chaos and bloodshed
Chaos and bloodshed are
already haunt us,
not a solution, Don't
honestly you shouldn't even talk
let them
And what about Boston? Look at the cost
lead you astray
N' all that we've lost n' you talk about Congress?!
This Congress
does not speak for me
"What about Boston? What's so important about Boston?" Asked General Ironwood
The god sighed, "One of the major factors that led to the revolution was colonial mistreatment of citizenry. On March 5, 1770, British soldiers fired on colonial protesters. Killing Five people. News of this incident spread across the thirteen colonies like wildfire. It became known as the 'Boston Massacre' throughout the budding nation. It was a major flashpoint between the British and colonial's."
The general was horrified. The mere idea of fire on civilian protesters repulsed him. Winter and Blake scowled at the massacre. The audience was overall disgusted by the act.
My dog
speaks more eloquently than thee
They're playing a dangerous game
But strangely, your mange is the same
Most of the watchers snicker at the onscreen Jaune's exaggerated movements.
I pray the king shows you his mercy
Is he in Jersey?
Ironwood looked at the god questioningly. Said god sighed again.
"He is referencing the state of New Jersey. Which is situated right across the river from New York City. At this time it's just another one of the thirteen colonies. But seeing as the king is across the ocean. I'm sure what he means by that question."
For shame
For the Revolution
For shame!
[Company]
For the revolution!
"Well it's good to see that my baby bro can inspire people like that." Saphron said, with just a hint of mischief in her eyes.
[Dove]
Heed—
[Jaune]
If you repeat yourself again I'm gonna—
[Dove/Jaune]
Scream—
[Jaune]
Honestly, look at me, please don't read!
[Dove]
Not your interests—
[Jaune]
Don't modulate the key then not debate with me!
Why should a tiny island across the sea regulate the price of tea?
"Honestly, That's not too bad of an argument for revolution. I wish it could be done without bloodshed." Ghira said with a small frown on his face.
Blake frowned remembering her time with the White Fang. How many people were indirectly killed by her actions. She may not have ever killed anyone directly, but still.
[Ren]
Alexander, please!
[Jaune]
Burr, I'd rather be divisive than indecisive, drop the niceties
Jaune got kicked off of the stage by a soldier in a red coat.
"Jaune!" most of his team and team RWBY yelled upon seeing their friend get kicked off the stage.
"I wanna break that soldier's legs!" Nora growled.
[Ensemble]
Silence! A message from the King!
A message from the King!
[Full Company]
A message from the King!
The audience leaned in to hear what this 'king' had to say. They were disappointed when the screen faded to black and the lights came back up. Garfield materialized in front of them all.
"Well, I think we've seen enough of that universe for now. But don't worry, You'll be back." He said, chuckling to himself.
"So What universe are we gonna see next Gar-Gar?" Juniper's hammer wielder asked. The god arched an eyebrow at the nickname but elected to move on.
"Well, I think it might just be time to move into the danger zone. Don't you think so?" he asked.
"What kinda danger zone are we going into?" Asked the red reaper of RWBY
"A very fast paced one." Garfield said with a smirk.

A/N:
So, I want to make something clear to some of the readers. As much as I love Jaune (He's personally my favorite character) yes, he will be a main character among others. I will endeavor to make sure he isn't the main focus of every universe. I'm sure you can guess which is next if you're cultured that is. The next one will likely take longer for me to write, as it isn't a musical like Hamilton is.
As some of you have brought up. Yah, I think I might have bloated the audience a bit too much, but I still kinda want to have them on hand. I'll probably have them stay silent for the most part.
Also the French at the beginning was just an Idea I had. I don't actually speak French. So I used Google translate. (Which is usually not accurate when it comes to stuff like grammar or gendered words in my experience.) So, If you are or speak French. Sorry for butchering it! The translations will be below.
(Likely inaccurate) Translations:
"Hé, petit frère. A la maison!" = "Hey, little brother. To the house!"
"Ne buvez pas trop d'alcool, Saph, vous êtes un poids plume." = "Don't drink too much alcohol, Saph, you're a lightweight."
"Ne t'avise pas de dire des choses comme ça Jauney! Ne m'oblige pas à dire à Blanc où se trouve ton vieux journal, parce que je le SAIS! et je sais ce qu'il contient!" = "Don't you dare say things like that Jauney! Don't you make me tell Blanc where your old journal is, because I KNOW! and I know what's in it!"
"D'accord Saph, tu as gagné!" = "Okay Saph, you win!"
Have a nice day! :D
