In the library of Beacon Academy, Team RWBY and the previously known Team JNPR sit by each other in a mournful silence. It had been about a month since Jaune Arc, leader of Team JNPR, had been exposed as a fraud and expelled from Beacon academy. During that time, rumors had sprung up about Jaune, and they've been told by school faculty that team JNPR will be rebranded once a replacement student can be assigned to them.

The two teams had mixed feelings about it, close and personal friends of Jaune felt like they've lost someone important, and those who have had the least interactions with him felt like things aren't the same from the beginning of the school year, as if a distant family member had passed away.

After blinking while sitting in silence, they soon found themselves not in the library or holding a book in their hands, but in a movie theater.

"Wait, how did- What?" Ruby Rose began while quickly looking around.

"Weren't we in a library?" Weiss asked, looking towards her teammates.

"I don't see an exit anywhere in this room." Noted Blake, her natural night vision allowing her to see things her teammates might not notice.

"Oh good, I was planning on taking some time off school." Despite Yang cracking jokes, she was also very worried about where her team had been sent to.

"You think we can find some snacks?"

"I think finding a way out is more important, Nora."

Nora and Ren respectively say, Nora obviously being less concerned than Yang with jokes.

'Some of the walls are made of metal.' Pyrrha thought to herself. 'I could probably force a way out.'

While looking around, other people that the two teams recognized had also arrived into the movie theater. The first of which were the Headmaster of Beacon, Ozpin, and his assistant, Glynda Goodwitch, along with the teachers, Doctor Oobleck, and Professor Port. Along with General Ironwood, Winter Schnee, Qrow Branwen, and everyone's dislikeable person, Cardin Winchester.

"UNCLE QROW!"

"Winter!"

Ruby and Weiss call out.

"Do you know how we got here?" Weiss asks her older sister.

"No, I was also caught by surprise on how we were all transported here. Weiss, I don't want you to drop your guard for a second." Winter states to her little sister, Weiss nodding at her request.

"What? Not even a 'Hi' for me? C'mon Blake!" Sun dramatically asks the people before turning his attention to the faunus he met a day prior to Jaune's expulsion. While he knows who Jaune is, he doesn't know much about him.

"No." Was all Blake had to say to the cocky Sun.

"I'm here too." With a confident smile, Neptune tries his best to show off, but goes unnoticed with the exception of Weiss.

"Oh good, HE'S here." Nora sarcastically says pointing toward Cardin.

"What's wrong? Still sore about your leader's lie?" Cardin mockingly says to Jaune's previous team. Which causes Nora to be held back by Ren and Pyrrha due to Nora wanting to get in close to break Cardin's legs.

"Hey hey! I was just being an honorable student, informing the teachers about a student's crime. Forgery and other criminal activities aren't what Beacon academy expects of their students, right?" Cardin gloats, tempting all of Team NPR and most of Team RWBY to break his legs.

Meanwhile, Cinder and her affiliates, Emerald and Mercury, also show up. Looking around surprised, which caught the attention of the rest of the group.

"Hmm, I don't recognize you three." The Headmaster asks the trio. "Who are you?"

"Oh, yes. My name is Cinder, and this is my team." The two 'teammates' silently wave towards everyone with fake smiles.

"We are students from Mistral." Cinder calmly and confidently answers the headmaster, having already the backstory to their team memorized for their future plan. Despite that, she doesn't know how she and her affiliates got here, and is concerned now that she's been put in a room filled with her enemies. Not to mention, she doesn't feel the power of the maiden with her, nor her semblance.

"So tell me." Cinder began. "Is anyone else here able to use their semblance?" The people in the room all try to use their semblance, only to no avail.

While everyone was trying to get a bearing for their situation, the master thief and unwilling subordinate of Cinder, Roman Torchwick, and his partner in crime, Neopolitan, appeared in the room.

"Um." Roman says, as everyone within the room turns their attention toward the most wanted criminal in Vale. "Now hold on just a-"

"CRIMINAL!"

"Get him!"

"SOMEONE APPREHEND HIM!"

Before Roman could even finish his sentence, he and his partner had been tackled by Team RWBY as well as Nora, with Ruby saying "You're the one who brought us here, aren't you, criminal!"

It was then the speaker system of the theater interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Well no, that would be me." A low, almost bored-tone, voice speaks, along with the faint sound of static from the speakers.

Everyone was shocked that there really was a culprit who kidnapped them.

"Who are you, then?" Blake concernedly asked.

"My name isn't important. What you're here for is related to something else. Rest assured, I won't harm you." The speaker droned.

"Bullshit, you kidnapped us, if you truly have no intention of hurting us then tell us your name!" Yang retorted back in slight anger to the unknown voice.

"Miss Xiao Long! While we aren't on school property, I highly advise you to watch your language." Deputy Goodwitch sternly said, with sharp venom. Yang quickly backed down, but still meant what she said.

"...Fine. I can't give you my full name, but you can call me The Entertainer, you could say my abilities allow me to transport people and objects to a space outside of the world." The Entertainer answered. Some of the people there couldn't help but be suspicious, since it could be taken as a threat with no one outside to help them.

"You're lying! You probably have some hypnotizing semblance to make us think that!" Emerald had shouted, but was quickly hushed by Cinder, 'Don't draw attention' is what Cinder mouthed to her subordinate. Emerald understood this, and proceeded to elbow Mercury, who was silently chuckling to Emerald's mistake.

"I do agree." A masculine voice says. "A space outside the world? That's very hard to believe."

The people turn their attention toward the unknown voice. They're met with a tall, buff man, who has blond hair with deep blue eyes, next to a woman who shares similar traits with the man.

"Jaune?" Pyrrha asks, almost hesitantly as though memories are hitting her at once.

"You know my son?"

"Do you know where my baby brother is?"

The man and woman ask respectively.

"Wait, are you Jaune's family?" Ruby questions the two. The man could be described as someone who's stoic, yet there was a faint trace of worry when he asked about his son. The woman, who's the older sister of Jaune, is very caring and concerned for her little brother.

"Yes, my name is Nicolas Arc, and this is my daughter, Saphron Arc." Nicolas introduces himself as well as his daughter as she waves.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Arc. I'm Pyrrha Nikos, and this is Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie. Jaune was our team leader before he was expelled." Pyrrha introduced herself and her remaining team excitedly to the father of her crush.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, all of you." Nicolas shook the hands of each of the members before turning his attention to the headmaster. "Professor Ozpin, how is the investigation going for my son?"

When he heard the news that his son had been expelled for forgery, he felt disappointed at first, but realized that the expectations he set for his only son must've been troubling him so much that he would do anything to get into Vale's most prestigious school. Even more so when his son never came back home.

"Rest assured, I have sent someone I trust in search of your son. I know he'll find your son." Ozpin told the father, which didn't do much to ease his hidden worry.

"Good, now that you're all here. Let me explain what is soon going to happen." The Entertainer announced. Everyone in the room prepares for a fight, though they don't have their weapons.

"For personal reasons that I can't disclose to you all, I have brought you here to watch someone either you all know or find very important."

"Well if they're so important for several people to be kidnapped, who is it?" Wiess asked.

"It's a punishable offense kidnapping high ranking officials of Atlas." Winter stated aloud.

"His name is Jaune Arc." The speaker answered, only to be met by laughter by everyone's detestable bully.

"That huntsman wannabe? The only thing he's good for is-" Before Cardin could finish, he feels a hand on his shoulder.

"You. I won't tolerate anyone bad mouthing my son. Do you understand." Nicolas didn't asked, but demanded as the now dwarfed bully shrivels back.

"Y-yes sir." Was all that was whimpered.

The team members of JNPR were almost tempted to tell him about how Cardin blackmailed Jaune into doing things before he got expelled, but decided not to since Nicolas Arc was already so close to punching Cardin for his comment.

"He is important because what you'll see is his journey some time after his expulsion. And yes, it will be important to everyone in this room. Now, if you could kindly take a seat so we may begin. If any of you are hungry, you can just think about what you want, I'll be able to see what you want and you'll be given it." The Entertainer had finished what he wanted to say.

Most of the students generally got themselves usual movie-going snacks. Popcorn, candy and soda. With the exception of Nora, as a plate of pancakes appears for her. The crime duo got themselves cigars and ice cream respectively. Finally, Qrow got himself a nice bottle of alcohol.

"Ugh, is there anything you drink other than alcohol?" Winter said under her breath.

"By the way, I will take some...artistic liberties in the viewing. Nothing much. Music and stylized viewings like camera angles of transitions, some backstories, and narration throughout the viewing will make it much more pleasant. It'll simply be like watching a movie just so the experience isn't as bizarre." The Entertainer explains as the people in the theater were a bit confused, but nodded their heads.

"I see everyone is now settled. Now we can begin the show."

A/N: Apologies for if the prologue was a bit lengthy. I want to say that after reading PlayingRascal & GGWP Dragon's fanfiction of the RWBY cast react to Jaune in JJBA. I wanted to make my own for Part 5.

Also, let me know if I should keep the OP in the reactions. Personally I wouldn't as it does reveal some important information in the show. But if people want it, I'll be sure to add it. I'll only make the cast react to the OP once until we get to the point where there's a new OP in the show.
