Chapter 3: Llamas with Hats
"Well I certainly hope that the next one will be exciting." Said Kali with enthusiasm in her voice. She hoped that the next universes would be as interesting as the ones they had seen so far. Though she especially wanted to see one where this Jaune boy and Blake are together and gave her Grandbabies.
Blake, meanwhile, somehow knew what her mother was thinking and mentally sighed. She can be a bit much sometimes.
The screen began to turn back on, signaling to everyone that the next viewing is ready.
~
Jaune and Ren, two llamas Faunus with hats, were currently standing inside a room. With a dead body.
~
"Huh I always wondered what Jaune would look like as a Faunus." Blake said.
"Why are they wearing hats?" Asked Ruby.
"What's with Ren and the flower hat?" Laughed Yang.
"Hey I think it's cute." Defended Nora as she brought Ren in for a tight hug. "Right Renny?"
"Yep." Ren breathed out, shallowly.
"I believe we are missing the fact that there is a dead body!" Weiss yelled, making everyone realize that there was indeed a dead body.
All of them fell silent as they watched the screen carefully. Wanting to know what has happened.
~
"Jaune!" Ren whined; he wore a pink bowler hat with a flower. "There's a dead human in our house!"
"Oh...hey...How did he get here?" Said Jaune, who was wearing a green wool hat.
"Jaaaaune, what did you do?!" Ren asked.
"Me? Uh, I didn't do this!" Jaune denied.
"Explain what happened, Jaune!" Demanded Ren.
"I've never seen him before in my life!" Jaune again denied killing the man.
"Why did you kill this person, Jaune?" Ren asked.
"I do not kill people. That...that is my least favorite thing to do." Jaune simply said.
"Tell me, Jaune, exactly what you were doing before I came home." Ren once again demanded to the truth
"Alright, well...I was upstairs." Jaune started.
"Okay…"
"I was uh...I was sitting in my room…" The blonde continued
"Yes?"
"Reading a book…" He still continues.
"Go on…"
"And, uh, well this guy walked in…" He still continues.
"Okay…"
"So, I walked up to him…" Jaune said.
"Yes…"
"And I... I stabbed him 37 times in the chest." Jaune finished his explanation on what he was doing. Shortly after confessing there was a brief silence. Until Ren broke it.
"Jaaaaaaaaaaaune, that kills people!" Ren yelled, horrified by what Jaune did.
"Oh! Well, I didn't know that." Jaune defended himself.
"How could you not know that?!" Ren asked, not believing what Jaune said.
~
"Oh my Oum!" Weiss yelled.
"How is it possible for one to not know that stabbing can lead to death!?" Exclaimed Glynda.
"Hmm. I believe that this version of Mr. Arc is rather… disturbed individual." Spoke Ozpin.
"A.K.A. kid's a complete wack job." Qrow said bluntly.
"Uncle Qrow, I'm sure that Jaune didn't know that. Maybe he did it by accident." Ruby spoke unconvincingly about how her crush didn't mean it.
"Rosebud. There is no way that someone can stab someone else by accident." Qrow explained, however a cough caught his and his family's attention. They all turned to see that Jonathan was the one who called them.
"Really Qrow? I beg to differ." Jonathan said as stood up. He put his right leg on his seat and lifted up his pant leg. Adorning his right shin was a large scar, going from the base of the knee to the top of the ankle. "Still think that there's no such thing as an accidental stabbing?" Asked Jonathan.
"I said I was sorry didn't I? Not my fault I thought you were Grimm." Qrow defended himself.
"Whatever. You're lucky that the doctors were able to save my leg." Jonathan said as he put his pant leg back down.
The Xiao-Long/Rose family looked confused until they realized what Jaune's father and Qrow meant.
"Wait a minute? He's the 'dumbass' you accidently stabbed when you were on a mission to Mistral?" Taiyang asked.
"'Dumbass'?" Jonathan asked as he crossed his arms and glared at Qrow.
"Hey, it was a mission to clear out some Grimm. Jonathan happened to be in the neighborhood so I asked if he could help me out. Next thing I know the whole situation escalated but we managed to get everything settled. However, this genius thought it was a good idea to sneak up on me right after we killed the Grimm." Qrow explained as he looked at Jonathan. Who flipped him off in response.
"Yeah. Yeah. Calm down." Qrow said as he and everyone else turned back to the screen.
~
"Yeah, I'm in the wrong here. I SUCK." Jaune admitted to Ren. The ninja then looked down at the dead body and noticed something off with it.
"What happened to his hands?" Ren asked.
"What's that?" Jaune said in confusion.
"His hands. Why-why are they missing?" Ren asked once again.
"Well, I kind of um… cooked them up and ate them." Jaune confessed.
~
Everyone was dead silent. Staring at the screen like deers in the headlights. That silence lasted for five more seconds until Yang broke it.
"What. The. FUCK!?" Yang yelled as she couldn't believe what she just heard.
"I-is-is he serious?! Not only is he a psychopath but a cannibal as well?!" Weiss yelled in pure and utter disgust.
"Ugh. I think I'm going to be sick. Hmph too late." Ruby said as she leaned on the side of her chair and threw up.
"Oh Oum I really feel sorry for my counterpart right now." Ren mumbled.
~
"Jaaaaaaaaaaaune!" Ren yelled, horrified by Jaune's response to his question.
"Well, I-I was hungry. And well, you know, when you crave hands…" Jaune said, trying to defend and justify his actions of eating hands.
"Why on Remnant would you do that?!" Ren asked in disbelief.
"I was hungry for hands! Gimme a break!" Jaune said.
"Jaaaaune!" Ren yelled.
"My stomach was making the rumblies." Jaune said in a serious voice.
"Jaune!" Ren yelled again.
"That only hands can satisfy!" Jaune said in a serious tone again.
"What is wrong with you, Jaune?!" Ren asked, not understanding why Jaune is like this.
"Well, I kill people and eat hands! That's-that's two things!" Jaune admitted.
End of part 1.
~
After that was over everyone had no idea what to make of this. They all just stayed quiet and continued to watch the viewing.
~
Jaune and Ren were currently standing in a lifeboat while a cruise ship was sinking in the background. And if you were a Faunus you can hear the faint sounds of people screaming.
"JAUNE, what on Remnant was all that?" Ren asked Jaune.
"I'm not sure what you're referring to." Jaune said in denial.
"You sank an entire cruise ship, Jaune!" Ren exclaimed.
"Are you sure that was me? I would think I'd remember something like that." Jaune said, trying to deny his actions.
~
"Knowing this version of Arc, he probably did it." Deadpanned Weiss.
"Yes, most likely sister." Winter agreed.
~
"Jaune, I watched you fire a harpoon into the captain's face!" Ren pointed out, counting his fingers to point out Jaune's misdeeds. So, one finger goes up.
"That sounds dangerous." Jaune said.
~
"Oh Oum." Pyrrha groaned into her hands as she didn't want this Psychopath to be associated with the looks of her beautiful knight.
~
"You were head butting children off the ship!" Another finger goes up.
"That...uh that must've been horrifying to watch!" Jaune said in an unconvincing tone.
~
"This is like dealing with Nora but worse." Ren muttered to himself. Yes he cared for her but there are times where patience runs out. It rarely happens but it does occasionally.
"What was that?" Nora asked rather dangerously.
"Nothing!" Ren squeaked.
"Are you sure?" Nora said as she leaned into her partner.
"Yes! Absolutely, nothing at all!" Ren stammered as he laughed nervously. Honestly he has no idea why he's acting like this now. Maybe he's just done with this nonsense, he doesn't know.
"Okay then." Nora smiled as she patted Ren on the face and sat back down.
Ren let out a sigh of relief as this crisis was now averted.
~
"Then you started making out with the ice sculptures!" A third and final finger goes up.
"Well, thank Oum that the children weren't aboard to see it." Said Jaune in a relieved tone for some reason. Ren simply sighed and shook his head. He then looked down and noticed something wrong with their life boat.
~
"Please tell me that isn't what I think it is." Ren groaned.
~
"Uh...Jaune, why is the lifeboat all red and sticky?" Ren asked, already dreading the answer.
"Well I guess you could say it's all red and sticky." Jaune said, trying to dodge the question.
"Jaune, what are we standing in?" Ren demanded to know.
"Would you believe it's strawberry milkshake?" Jaune asked, trying to convince Ren that it was indeed strawberry milkshake.
"No! I wouldn't believe that!" Ren said unconvinced.
"Uhh, melted gumdrops?" Jaune tried again.
"No." Ren said.
"Boat nectar?" Jaune asked again.
"No." Ren said.
"Some of Oum's tears?" Jaune asked once more.
"Tell me the truth Jaune." Ren demanded, clearly done with Jaune's lying.
"Fine. It's the lovely elderly couple from 2B." Jaune confessed. This answer completely horrified Ren.
~
"Of fucking course!" Ren cursed out loud. This sudden outburst made everyone look at him like he just grew a second head. Something that Ren noticed quickly.
"Sorry, I don't know what came over me." He said.
~
"JAAAAUNE!" Ren yelled as he lifted his right foot up in disgust. Strands of blood and other bodily fluids still attached to his shoe.
"Well they were, uh, were taking all the croissant rolls." Jaune said as if that was his way to justify his actions. Again.
~
"That is no excuse for murder!" Yelled Goodwitch.
"I don't know Glynda. People have killed for less." Ozpin said.
~
"I can't believe what I'm hearing." Ren said as he put his foot back down.
"I will not apologize for art." Jaune said proudly as he closed his eyes and folded his arms. Ren then looked around them
Where are the other lifeboats?
"Whoa! You won the prize; I didn't even notice that." Jaune said in actual surprise.
"Where are the other lifeboats, Jaune?" Ren asked sternly.
"Looking at the trajectory of the moon and the sun, probably at the bottom of the ocean. I bit lots of holes in them." Jaune said as he brought his hand to his chin in a thinking gesture.
"JAUNE!" Ren yelled.
"I have a problem. I have a serious problem." Jaune said.
"You are just terrible today." Said Ren in total disbelief.
"Shhhhh! Do you hear that? That's the sound of forgiveness." Jaune said as he had his right hand to his ear.
"That's the sound of people drowning Jaune." Ren said with a frown on his face.
"That is what forgiveness sounds like, screaming and then silence." Jaune explained to Ren, with a finger pointing upwards.
End of part 2.
~
"Well… he's not entirely wrong." Ozpin said cryptically while drinking his coffee.
~
The two llamas Faunuses, Fauni? are shown to be in a ruined building in Menagerie. The whole city can be seen burning in the background.
"Jaune, we're supposed to be on vacation." Ren complained, knowing that this was all Jaune's fault.
"I don't know about you, but I'm having a lovely time here." Jaune simply stated
"You toppled the Menagerian Government Jaune." Ren pointed out.
"The people have spoken. Long live the White Fang." Jaune said with pride.
~
Blake hung her head low and ears drooped, this Jaune was a radical. But not a second later she came to a small realization. 'Wait, no that wouldn't make any sense at all. This Jaune showed no emotion or care at all. Especially when he confessed to a murder nonchalantly, even if he tried to pass the blame off. He…*sigh* he gets pleasure from this and doesn't want to get caught so he can continue doing this.' Blake thought to herself
~
"You pushed the White Fang leader [Adam Taurus] into a giant fan." Ren said to the blonde.
~
"Guess I was right." Muttered Blake to herself.
~
"He was a traitor and a scoundrel." Jaune said with a frown.
"He was trying to stop you from pushing other people into a giant fan." Ren said with a frown on his face. Suddenly a foot kicked through Jaune's foot but didn't break free.
"That was a foot I seemed to swallow an entire person." Jaune said in surprise.
"That would be the hotel bartender." Ren explained.
"Well that would explain why my mojito is taking so long." Jaune said as he now knew the reason why his drink didn't affect him. Now he knows why.
"It was horrifying, Jaune. Your mouth just unhinged like a snake!" Ren said, shuddering in remembrance of that event.
~
Everyone shuddered at the sheer thought of it. Oddly enough though the Belladonnas didn't think that was weird after all. That's how most snake Faunus eat their meals, even though it was really disgusting to watch.
~
"Wow, that sounds pretty awesome." Jaune said in awe.
"I can't go anywhere with you Jaune." Ren said in annoyance.
"That hurts my feelings. Now we're both in the wrong." Jaune said in a saddened tone.
"I want to go home. We're leaving." Ren said as he rubbed his hands against his face.
"In that case I should probably mention that all our luggage is filled with orphan meat." Jaune pointed out.
"W-what?" Ren asked, not wanting to believe what Jaune said. He hoped he was only hearing things, but alas he was wrong.
"I'm building a meat dragon and any meat won't do." Jaune explained as to why he shoved a bunch of Faunus orphan meat into their luggage.
~
"T-that….that is just horrible!" Cried out Glynda as she found this news to be very horrifying. As did the others. I mean if you didn't think of this as atrocitus then you're just a cold heartless, soulless bastard.
The Arc parents really didn't know how to feel about this whole thing. They really don't know what Jaune's life was like growing up. Was their counterparts abusive or neglectful? Was Jaune a runaway? In foster care? They didn't know but what they do know they will try their best to get this Jaune help.
~
"You know what? Forget it, I'm not even shocked anymore." Ren said as he threw his hands up in surrender.
"Oh, that's no fun." Jaune said in a slightly disappointed tone.
"This has become the norm for you, Jaune." Ren said.
"I'll have to try harder next time." Jaune said with determination.
"Please don't." Ren pleaded.
"I feel like I've been issued a challenge." Jaune stated.
"Jaune." Ren whined
"It's too late now...you." Jaune said, causing Ren to look at him with a raised eyebrow.
~
"You?" Ren asked in confusion.
~
"You?" Ren asked in confusion.
"I totally don't know your name." Jaune admitted without an ounce of care in his voice.
"What? We've known each other for three years, Jaune!" Ren exclaimed, not believing what he had just heard.
"And what an impression you've made." Jaune said in an unimpressed tone.
"My name is Ren." Ren said.
"What?" Now it was Jaune's turn to be confused.
"I said my name is Ren." Ren repeated
"Oh, I thought you were a woman." Jaune said in admittance.
"Why would you think that?" Ren asked.
"Mostly the hat, are you sure?" Jaune asked.
"Yes, I'm sure." Ren sternly said.
"Well if you excuse me, I have some pictures to delete from my computer." Jaune said he awkwardly averted his eyes from Ren. Ren himself simply looked at him with a confused look.
End of part 3.
~
"I actually want to see those pictures now." Nora said with a raunchy smile.
Ren himself shivered with pure fear and felt like his pelvis was going to get crushed soon.
"Oum I hope the next one isn't so violent." Ren muttered to himself but deep down he knew it was only going to get worse.
To Be Continued.
