+Third Person pov+
The RWBY and NPR group plus Xodia watched as the screen turned on and for the first alternate reality to show and the screen started off completely black. Xodia saying "Before we begin there is something I should tell you. There are many of these realities that take place in the future. Of course everything is only Potentially the future. It is up to you and whoever else I bring to Make the future you want a reality. This is one such reality taking place in the future." as he looked at his guests and the seven teens nodded before looking at the screen with more interest. They all wanting to see what Jaune was doing in the future.
*On the screen it showed a hooded man lying on the ground with his left hand as the focus. Beneath the hood there could be seen the nose, yellow and silverfish gray beard and mustache combination, and tanned lips. On his left wrist was a gauntlet that seemed to have a broken blade jutting out from underneath. His clothes were a dark gray from what could be seen and there was blood on them, the floor, and his hand. The man also appeared unconscious.*
The group sans Xodia and Weiss gasped as they saw their friend Jaune -albeit much older- on the ground and seemingly defeated with what appeared to be a broken weapon. Weiss scoffing and saying "It seems that even in the future Arc is useless when it comes to battle." and RBYNPR all glared at Weiss while Xodia hid a smirk.
He knew this universe all to well and could tell he would love to see the surprise on the Schnees face when it came to combat prowess later.
*On the screen Jaune's older mature and deep voice says "Claudia my dearest sister." As it zooms out to reveal more of his outfit ((AN: Assassins Creed Revelations Ezio outfit)), music playing in the background ((AN: The same music from the opening.)) and what appeared to be white fang members from their insignia, but they were dressed in red, the logo was a bit different, and they wore more armor. The members walking towards him. One of the grunts kicking his side to wake him up while that same man and another him up by his arms and started dragging him in between the two with the other members walking behind them pointing weapons at Jaune as his legs dragging behind him. The older Arc's hands tied by rope as the men shift their hands to drag him by his elbows.*
RWBY and NPR all glared at the white fang member who kicked him along with the other white fang members. They all noticing the changes to their uniform. Weiss looked like she was about to say something racist, but a look from her team and Xodia shut her up before she could make the comment.
*Jaune continuing by saying "I have been in Ansel for over a week now, safe and in high spirits, but prepared for the worst. The men and women who have fed and sheltered me here, also give me warning that the road to Beacon is over run by Grimm, mercenaries and bandits not native to this land." as it shows him being dragged outside into a courtyard where it is snowing. The camera angle shifting to a birds eye view and letting them see the symbol for beacon etched into the ground as well as Jaune being dragged across it.*
All of the teens gasp as they see their school being used as a fortress by the white fang and from what they hear from Jaune. Xodia deciding to explain says "After Beacons fall, so too did Vale. With no one opposing them The White Fang decided to take over the desolate academy. Since then they remade vale into a faunus and Fang only town with the Grimm from the fall still roaming around as protection and the Fang hiring guns and swords for hire to defend them from intruders and Grimm alike. The Bandits came when the city fell hoping to get money or valuables from abandoned homes. Some Bandits being hired by the Fang to rob people who were on the road near Beacon so that people would stay away and think it is a lost cause to reclaim, but unfortunately Jaune doesn't know that they are there."
The seven gasped and nodded at the gods words. They continuing to watch the screen.
*On the screen the camera changed angles again. This giving them a view from behind and watching as their friend was dragged forwards to another area as he says "What this could mean, I dread to guess." as the screen fades to black and the black fades to Jaune on a boat. He having one leg up and bent as he looked forwards onto the horizon while sailing across water. The camera angle changing to let them see Jaune sailing the boat to a coastal city. He saying "When I first set out from Acradia ten months ago, I did so with a single purpose: To discover what my father, and The Inner Circle did not." Here the scene changed to show Jaune crossing a large desert and heading to a mountain as he speaks. The scene changing again when he finished the sentence to him climbing what appeared to be ruins. Jaune continuing to say "In a letter written a year before my birth dad makes mention to a library hidden beneath the stones of Beacon's basement where Amber rested. A sanctum of invaluable wisdom." As he talks it shows Jaune climbing up a peak with mountains around him and the older Arc sitting on top of the peak looking at Beacon from a distance as it sat on the mountain. The scene then changes to a camera behind Jaune as he looks up at beacons castle. It showing a pouch on his back. As he looks at the castle it cuts to a side view to reveal Jaune having been shot by an arrow into his shoulder and backing up a bit. One hand grabbing onto the shaft as the other stays at his side. From this angle they can see Corcea Mors at his hip and another pouch on his side. While this happens Jaune says "So what will I find when I arrive there? Who will greet me? A host of eager Red Claws, as I fear most strongly? Or nothing but the whistling of a cold and lonely wind?" As Jaune looks around the camera cuts to what obviously seems like the leader of the Red Claws in Beacon. It was a bald faunus with no distinguishable traits. He walked out from behind a wall and the camera cuts to Jaune as he snaps the arrows shaft that was lodged between his plates of shoulder armor and hit the leather underneath. Then it shows Jaune's perspective letting them see the man and then the grunts from earlier rising up, but there were many more than before. They all standing on the ledge. It shows Jaunes' boots and him dropping the arrow along with the cape that had been on his back.*
What Jaune said about underneath Beacon got the group to remember what happened in Season 3. They all feared that there was something even more dangerous than a maiden under the school if Ozpin built the academy above it. Blake however also noticed that Jaune called the group Red Claws and asked "Mr. Xodia what did Jaune mean by Red Claws?" The King sighed and said "Thats the name of the group Adam leads on his attack at Beacon. In this timeline The group became larger due to a lot more violent faunus joining." Blake nodded and so too did the others. They all continuing to watch.
*Jaune charged into the fray and used a rock to jump up and land on a red claw members chest. Another member running right passed Jaune standing on the members falling body in slow motion. He both dodging and taking out an opponent in one move. The member he jumped on loosing his weapon in the progress. Jaune saying "Beacon has not been home to the hunters for 25 years now. Can we still claim it for our own? Are we welcome there?" As he punches at the mans neck while falling a loud shink audible. When the body hits the floor it stays down and Jaune does a combat roll into a standing position. His hands up in a guarding position as he twists to one side letting a Red Claw's weapon sail past him. One hand grabs the weapons shaft and the other punches into the mans chest where another shink is heard. As the man bends over at the waist Jaune maneuvers over the mans back with a roll and past him to take on a charging man with an halberd. Jaune uses one hand to grab the shaft and the other punches to the mans throat and a shink is heard and it shows the glint of a blade coming from Jaune's gauntlet as it retracts from the mans neck and back into the wrist armor. He then noticing another charging man to the right uses both hands to grab the halberd, pushes the corpse, and swings the axe blade into the charging mans stomach. The hooded Arc seeing another man coming drops the halberd and dodges the mans wild sword swing. He then notices another grunt coming and grabs the other swordsman's wrist that he just dodged. Jaune uses the momentum against him and blocks an incoming sword swing with his friends sword. He then kicks the new swords men away with one boot to the chest and twists his hostages wrist and sword behind his back and shoves the mans own sword through his back and out of his chest. Jaune making the man kill himself with his own weapon.*
Xodia noticed the teens jaws drop at the skill Jaune was showing in the future. He was a monster in a fight. They also winced realizing that the blonde goofy knight had become a cold blooded killer. Ruby looked over to the God and asked meekly "Jaune's killing them all isn't he? Thats what the Shink noise is isn't it?" The King nodded and said "This is after Pyrrha's death and Jaune is looking for answers since Ozpin and Pyrrha never explained what was going on. Jaune is in a kill or be killed situation. A war that came to his future and may come to yours. Also in this timeline and yours Qrow knows about the maidens and only told Jaune a little bit." Yang and Ruby looked shocked and all seven of them swore to question the headmaster and drunk when this was over.
*Jaune pushes the corpse back and ducks under another man swinging another halberd over his head. He saying "Ah, I am weary of this fight Claudia. Not because I am tired, but because our struggles seems to move in one direction only...towards chaos. Today I have more questions than answers. This is why I have come so far: To find clarity. To find the wisdom left behind by the great Ozpin, so that I may understand the purpose of our fight and, my place in it." as he then quickly stands up and goes behind the man as the grunt had mis-stepped in his swing. Jaune snapping the mans neck and then getting grabbed from behind by another Red Claw. As another grunt attacked Jaune and the man holding the hooded Arc, He moved to the right in the mans arm at the right moment allowing the man to cleave into the grunt holding hims shoulder. As the man released Jaune, he grabbed the shaft of the weapon, dragged it forwards and almost ripping it out of the team killer's hands while it pulled him into a vicious head butt from the hooded Arc. Jaune then grabbed the mans shoulders and kneed him in the stomach. Jaune noticed another man coming in with a sword swing and pushes the kneed man back and away so He could counter the swordsmen. Jaune grabbing the mans wrist with one hand and stopping the attack while the other hand punched the grunt in the face. The grunt is knocked into some of his friends as another man attacks Jaune from behind. The older Arc dodges to the right side quickly and grabs the mans wrist. Jaune's pulls the mans sword hand to the grunts stomach and piercing him through his own back. The hooded Arc rolled to the side in a standing position facing to a man trying to attack him from behind and counting his attack by throwing his body to the other men. Jaune's back to the ledge wall and enemies all around him the hooded Arc puts both hands out to his sides a bit and flicks both wrists. From the gauntlets spring out Two blades. They each as long and wide as a hunting knife while also being completely straight and not at all curved. The camera cut to show a Ghost Ozpin walking through the battle field when Jaune says Great Ozpin. The hooded Arc Killing two grunts by stabbing one in the chest with one blade and stabbing the other grunt in the back. His eyes looking at the Ghost of the Headmaster, but unfortunately his attention isn't on the battle and the camera shows that it is only reflex that saves Jaune's life as he blocks an incoming sword strike with his hidden knife blade making the blade snap and him become knocked onto the ground. Jaune then surrounded by the army of Red Claws they all pointing their weapons at him as the screen flashes white and fades to reveal the bald man from earlier with a scar going down his face and looking back. Behind the boss is a door to the outside world that shines the light into the room while also blowing in snow, The camera pans to show Jaune being dragged into the room and to the leader. The camera gives a pov shot from Jaune'e perspective and shows that behind the leader to the left and right are doors to the outside world with stone platforms leading out. The leader holding a length of rope that has been tied into a noose.*
The group was in awe watching Jaune fight the army of men single handed and was winning. Ruby had stars in her eyes seeing the two blades come from the gauntlets Jaune was wearing and she asked if they had other things besides blades in them to which Xodia nodded and she squealed while thinking about what her friend added to the gauntlets. They then winced seeing Ozpin's ghost haunt Jaune mid battle and the sword break the hidden blade which knocked him over. When they saw the noose and window with the platform all seven gasped. Each realizing the man intended to hang Jaune.
*Jaune in an act of defiance got his feet on the ground and shook off the guards holding him while walking forwards to the leader. He still slowly walking forwards as the men pulled out their weapons ready for round two, but Jaune still walked forwards slowly to his fate. The leader noticed this and held out his hand to stop the men from killing Jaune then. The guards anxious pointed their weapons at him as the camera angle changed to over the shoulder of the leader. Jaune saying "Should anything happen to me, Claudia...Should my skills fail me, or my ambition lead me astray, do not seek retribution or revenge in my name, but fight to continue the search for truth, so that all may benefit. My story is One of many thousands, and the world will not suffer if it ends too soon." as he walked forwards. The camera angle cutting to show a different angle and see Jaune get shoved forwards. The camera panning from a side angle to show Jaune walking to the end of the stone bridge with the Ghost of Ozpin on another one next to him. Jaune looking at the Ghost and the leader behind him curious as to what the human was looking at looked over as well. The camera cut to the opposite angle to show that Ozpin's ghost had disappeared and Jaune was at the end of the plank. The camera moved to the front and swiveled around Jaune's head from the same opposite angle just zoomed in to show an eagle flying in the air around him and the leader reaching out to pull off Jaune's hood. The camera cutting to show an angle that had Jaune's face, upper torso, and the leader of the Red Claw with some guards behind him. Jaune's blonde hair had darkened with age and had some streaks of gray in it as it was slicked back. There were some wrinkles on his face and his once bright blue eyes had become muted. No longer shining with hope, but now a resigned and dim blue that came with being old. This did nothing to detract how handsome he had become and how much baby fat he lost. There was also a faded scar above the left of his lip that went down past the bottom lip a bit. There were also some marks on his head and face from the fight earlier. After a few seconds the leader behind Jaune lifted the loose noose up over Jaune's head and down around the older Arc's neck. Jaune tilting his head down his chin just jutting out from above the hangman's knot. The leader is shown tightening the noose from a different angle when all of the sudden the eagle from behind cries loudly and like some sort of signal Jaune twists around lifting his arm up and elbows the leader in the face. The leader stumbles back stunned as Jaune turns to face him. The Arc grabbing the rope with his hands and throwing it around the back of the leaders neck. Jaune falls back off the stone bridge the leader falling face first into the stone bridge as the guards behind him try helping him. Jaune over the edge holds onto the rope from a distance with his hands so the noose doesn't kill him and he looks up at the guards trying to free their leader until Jaune moves his head down to his free hand and uses it to pull the hangman's knot loose and gets it off from around his neck. The Arc falls down from the height his body glowing a subtle white as the camera follows him down for a bit before it cuts to a board of wood where he would land as it showed in the last scene were he was falling to. Jaune lands on the wood in a heroes pose the wood cracking underneath him and making a dent as his body stops glowing a subtle white color. Jaune looks up for a moment while smirking and standing from his position and while walking to the camera he uses both hands to pull up his hoodie covering a majority of his face once more as the screen fades to black.*
The seven of them glared at the leader and all shed a tear for the final words of Jaune Arc. There was a blush from Ruby and Pyrrha at seeing the handsomer and older Jaune and when the eagle cried they all cheered as they saw Jaune would not go down without a fight. When Jaune began glowing as he fell it raised a few eyebrows, but their jaws all dropped as he landed like a bad ass and smirked up at the bad guys. They got a feeling that when Jaune put back on the hood that he would be out for more Red Claw blood and were disappointed when it ended with the tv turning off as well.
Xodia saying "And that is all for the first alternate reality. It is a possible future for Jaune so do keep that in mind. Now that you have a feel for what you will be seeing, do you want to see more?" as he looked at the group of teens.
The RWBY and NPR members all nodded enthusiastically as they all wanted to see something that cool again. The King smirked and pulled out his remote once more and said "Then lets looks at another." as he turned back on the tv and they all waited to see what was in store next.
