So, with the recent rise in need for RWBY Vol 10, I think it'd be fun to do a RWBY react focused mainly around my favourite character, Jaune Arc. The group will peer into several different universes featuring them, some made by me, some by others. The cast will be from Vol 9, before RWBY meets Jaune in Ever After.

Things to note here:

Since it's before RWBY met Jaune in Ever After, Blake and Yang aren't together.

Some characters will be OOC.

Glynda Goodwitch will be Jaune's mother in this because for some reason, I have begun to headcanon that now.

Jaune will have some otherworldy abilities mainly due to his prolonged stay in Ever After.

I am using the theory that Jaune's sisters are all named after the colours of the rainbow since they were shown wearing different coloured clothes.

Most of all, Yang is going to be a good sister who notices Ruby's discomfort and will try and help her.


"I am just worrying about Jaune, Ren." Nora exclaimed as she helped Ren, her partner and now boyfriend, prepare lunch for the masses. Things hadn't been okay for quite some time as team RWBY, Jaune and a few others had prepared to launch an attack on Cinder and her group.

"Listen, the best we can do for him, and RWBY, is to hope that they get back to Remnant." Ren replied back, having been used to making food in large bulk during the time he had spent in Beacon. They initially were devastated on learning that both Jaune and Team RWBY had fallen, but on meeting Raven, who confirmed that Yang was alive due to her semblance, they held out hope that they'd come back. "Put these on a plate." He said as he handed Nora a large stack of pancake. "Any word on Dore and Miss Glynda?" He asked.

Nora shook her head, "Not much, just that they're going to Argus with their daughters to be with Saphron and get Miss Pandora as well to safety." She replied. It had been a shock to learn that Glynda Goodwitch was Jaune's mother. The reason she was still called Goodwitch was because while Dore and Glynda had kids and lived together most of the time, they weren't married. It had come up during their travels with Ruby and team RNJR on why she hadn't kicked him out of Beacon, to which Jaune replied that she wanted to show that he was hopelessly outmatched and force him out, to show that it was his own choice to leave Beacon rather than being kicked out. But thankfully, Jaune didn't give up on his dreams.

Ren and Nora would have continued to make more food however they were englufed in a white light, stopping what they were doing. When the light subsided, nothing remained.


"Winter, are you okay?" Willow asked her eldest daughter. The Schnees had their entire home destroyed during the attack on Atlas. While Willow and Whitley had an easier time getting down to earth compared to how they lived previously, Winter seemed to be having the most trouble.

It wasn't anything to do with her being spoiled, because she wasn't. What messed her up was that she wasn't able to save Jaune. She had the chance, but she was more preoccupied with saving herself from falling. Once she had learned that she was leaving Jaune behind, she had tried to save him, but it was for naught as he fell right before her very eyes. She couldn't look properly at Ren and Nora after that.

She had gone to the families of the soldiers who were killed before, but this time it was different. This time, it was because she was at fault. And while it seemed that he was alive, just like her sister, she knew that she would have a hard time forgiving herself for what had happened.

"I'm fine, just processing what has happened up till now." She replied. And that was true. Even after all this time, she still was trying to understand where everything had gone wrong. A couple of months ago, she was a Specialist in the Atlas Military, sister to one Weiss Schnee and Whitley Schnee, daughter of Willow Schnee and Jacques Schnee. Yet all that had changed. Her father, turns out, wasn't a nice man, had been dealing with the enemy for a fraction of power. Ironwood, her superior, had gone insane. All in all, shit had hit the fan.

Suddenly, they all were enveloped in a bright light as they were being teleported to a different plane of existence.


(Ethereal Plane of Non-Existence)

In a flash of white light, several figures appeared. Ren, Nora, Winter, Willow and Whitley appeared, along with others. First to gather their bearing was Glynda Goodwitch. She promptly brought out her weapon, on guard. "Dore, we aren't in Argus any more." She called out to him, using her Semblance to gather her daughter around her as well. She checked if everyone was here. Saphron was here with her wife Terra and their son Adrian. There also was Rouge, Bleue, Verte, Violette and Indi. She still missed her son dearly and was worried for him.

Looking around more, she noticed something different. There was Oscar, the current host for Ozma, and then there was Ozpin as well, something that couldn't happen. There also was Penny Polendina, who was currently dead, standing there, as if nothing had happened. What caught her eye, however, was Pyrrha Nikos, who was present, looking shocked at the current events as well.

"Where are we?" She heard Nora ask.

"It seems the place where we are separate again." Ozpin said as Oscar breathed a sigh of relief. "Ah Glynda, it's good to see you again."

"Thank God, I can finally have my thoughts to myself, even for a short while." The current host of Ozma said. He was suddenly looked over by both Ren and Nora, the two of them had adopted Oscar as their little brother.

"Are you okay Oscar? Are you feeling any pain?" Nora asked.

"This is certainly something." Emerald said as she looked on.

Glynda also gave a once over to all the people present. There was herself, Dore and their daughters, Terra and Adrian, along with Pandora Nikos. Nora, Ren, Oscar and Emerald were also present, along with Willow, Winter and Whitely. Qrow, Taiyang and Raven were also present. She could also spot Pietro and the Belladonnas. From the dead, there was Penny, Pyrrha, Ozpin and, wait a minute, was that Summer? This was certainly weird to say the least.

Given the fact that she was the current Headmistress of Beacon, she needed to gather some sense of control here as she was sure that things would have gotten hectic. It was obvious it was going to descend into madness as both Raven and Taiyang rushed to Summer with Raven slowly following him, Qrow was about to open another bottle, and Nora Valkyrie and Pandora Nikos had just spotted Pyrrha. Pietro had also seen Penny was made his way over to her.

Taiyang reached Summer as the two hugged, tears flowing from the both of them. "Oh Summer, how much have I missed you." He lamented.

Summer just tighetened her grip on her beloved as she whispered, "I'm back Tai, I'm back."

As the hug loosened, the two stared into each others eyes, "I have so much to tell you, so much to do with you." Taiyang said. Summer then looked to Raven, who was slowly approaching the two.

"Come here as well, Raven." Summer said as she extended an arm to her. As Raven gently grabbed it, she was pulled into the hug.

Pyrrha looked at her approaching friend and mother as she was pulled into a hug. "Oh, how much have I missed you, my little baby girl." Pandora said as tears flowed like rivers from her face.

Pyrrha said nothing as she hugged her mother back. She looked to see Nora standing there, tears in her eyes as well. What shocked her was the Litchenberg scars she had.

"Nora what happened to you?" Pyrrha asked, worried for her friend.

"Oh, you know, stuff." Nora giggled, and then adopted a serious face. "Listen, Pyrrha, while I'm incredibly glad you're back, I'm still pissed at what you did at Beacon when it fell."

Pyrrha's face fell at that, "I'm sorry." She said meekly.

Nora groaned as she pulled Pyrrha into a hug again, "Glad to have you back, P-money." She giggled.

Pietro, on the other hand, was unable to hug his daughter due to his disablity. Because of this, Penny smiled as she rushed to greet her father. "DAD!" She yelled as she gave him a bone crushing hug. "Dad, look, I'm a real girl now!" She said happily.

Pietro smiled at that, "My beautiful daughter, I'm glad to see you again." His tears were wiped by Penny as she also had tears in her eyes.

Clearing her throat, she spoke, "If all of you would be kind enough to stand still for a moment, it'd be appreciated." Immediate silence befell the group as the tone of authority of Glynda was ever present. "Thank you. It seems that somehow, we all have been teleported to this place simultaneously."

"But the question remains, what for." Ozpin added on, questioning this as well.

Winter, on the other hand, had winced seeing Glynda, Dore and their kids. All blond, all obviously missing their brother.

They would have pondered on when they were interrupted by another flash of light, this time taking a humanoid form. On the left side, a horn had appeared though the right side remained hornless. "Ah, it seems you all have arrived." It said, welcoming the group. "Forgive my tardiness, it seems I haven't made this place the least bit comfortable." It apologized as a room appeared around them. It seemed to be quite similar to a movie theatre, but it seemed more elegant. It had a bar, several tables and whatnot. One would assume this was something the Schnees had seen, but judging by their expression, this was something beyond even them.

While some of the younger members of the group looked around them at their new environment, the Hunters all were on guard against the new entity that had appeared.

"Who are you?" Qrow questioned.

The being, who was staring off into the distance, looked at Qrow and replied, "To put it simply, I am a being that surpasses what god you know." It said this as it looked at Ozpin. "I have simply chosen to fix what the Brother Gods have wronged."

"What do to you mean by that?" Ozpin asked.

"To be quite frank, my two sons have cause a lot of trouble for the people of Remnant, and I intend to fix that once and for all." The being said.

"Wait, sons? The Brother Gods are your children?" Ozpin asked as Oscar looked in awe as well. Having the timeless being in his mind allowed him to learn about this as well.

The light surrounding the being subsided revealing the figure to be a sort of a blacksmith looking being, robotic in nature yet godly in stature. "I have been watching over the creations my sons made, and to be quite honest, I am disappointed, both in my sons and you all." She said.

"Hey, we did best with what we were given." Qrow argued as Ozpin nodded along.

"That you did, but it wasn't enough, was it?" The being asked, "Ozma, you had plenty chance early on to have a talk with Salem, yet you didn't, why is that?" She asked, already knowing the answer.

Ozpin sighed, "I feared she had lost herself too much." He wondered if all the pain mortals had suffered could have been avoided, "I didn't know if it was a wise thing to do, especially after what had happened to her whilst she was alone."

The being looked on as she then continued, "Regardless, it's time I step in to fix what they messed up, like a mother scolding her children." She said with a sigh. "I had the utmost faith in them yet they failed."

Looking at the group, she continued, "Before I continue, it's best I give you my name. I am called The Blacksmith, residing in Ever After." Several eyes widened at that, "Yes, the same Ever After where Alice fell. The same Ever After where Team RWBY and Jaune have fallen."

"Thank God." Glynda mumbled as she gave Dore a half hug, glad that her son was okay. Nora and Ren also had tears in their eyes as their brother-in-arms was okay.

"Excuse me for a moment," Pyrrha spoke up, "Can anyone tell me what happened after my, uh, demise?"

It was at this point that Nora spoke up again, "Well, to be honest, quite a lot has happened. Cinder, the old lady who targeted Beacon, is basically working for an all powerful, even older lady who can control Grimms."

Pyrrha gasped at that, "Oh my God, that's crazy."

"On the other hand, we were able to beat the same Grimm that terrorized Ren's hometown. Oh, Jaune also unlocked his semblance." Nora said happily.

"Wait what?" Pyrrha and Glynda asked.

"Yeah, it's really cracked." Nora said, proud of her leader.

"Right now, I'll be bringing Team RWBY and Jaune to this place before I start fixing my children's messes." The Blacksmith said, interuppting the Valkyrie "However, due to circumstances, Jaune will be brought here at a later time."

"Wait, why?" Glynda asked in despair that she would have to wait even more to see her son. The rest of the Arc family had the same notion, along with the remnants of Team JNPER.

"Team RWBY haven't encountered the Tick Tock Tree, however, Jaune has." The Blacksmith said. While the name was a bit hilarious, the tone she used wasn't. "As a result, I have to go look for him as Jaune has been cut off from the normal flow of time. I have to manually look for him."

She opened a portal and out popped Team RWBY. "What the? Where are we?" Weiss asked as then looked around. "Uh, guys." She called out.

"How'd we get here?" Ruby asked as she looked at the new group of people. She had seen her fair share of insanity in Ever After, but even this was something else.

"That would be me." They heard the Blacksmith talk and turned around to see her. "I am the one called the Blacksmith, and I am trying to fix what my idiotic children have wrought on your planet. For now, go meet your loved ones while I search for Jaune."

"Huh, Jaune's missing?" Ruby asked, concerned for her best friend.

Winter winced at this. She knew that she was the reason why the young man wasn't here with them. "Yes, he fell….. after you all fell." She told them.

Ruby nodded at that and looked at the people that were present. Her eyes widened on seeing her mother, Summer Rose, alive. However, besides her were both, Pyrrha Nikos and Penny Polendia.

"PENNY!" Ruby yelled as she rushed to her, hugging her with all her might, "I'm so happy to see you!" She said as tears ran down her eyes.

"I'm glad to see you too, friend Ruby." Penny replied, hugging her back as well.

Ruby then looked at Penny with critical eyes, "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you let yourself die?" Ruby asked, "Jaune could've healed you."

"I couldn't let Cinder take the powers of the Winter Maiden." She said. "As such, it wsa imperative to let Winter Schnee have the powers before Cinder."

Ruby sighed at that, "Penny, I would rather have you with me than the power." She said earnestly.

The other members of RWBY were glomped by their respective families, though Yang was feeling a bit weird at seeing both Raven and Summer hugging her with Taiyang, who was crying ugly tears.

Yang, on the other hand, was looking around her, "What's with all this?" She said, motioning towards the room they all were in. "Some sort of theatre?" She asked.

"Precisely that, though before you all came in here, I was using this to locate where Jaune Arc is." The Blacksmith said. This came as a surprise to them.

"So why not use that to locate him and then bring him here?" Glynda asked.

The Blacksmith shook her head, "I wish it were that simple," She started, "Because Jaune Arc is no longer connected to this flow of time, the Plane of Watching is not as functional now."

"Catchy name." Taiyang commented.

"While it shows Jaune Arc, it doesn't show the Jaune Arc you know." She said.

"Hold up, so this is like a multiversal television." Nora asked, excited. Everyone, sans Ruby, Oscar, Ren, Pyrrha and Emerald, looked at her. "What? I like reading comics with Jaune, they really delve deep into that territory."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Yang said as everyone agreed with her.

"So, can we look at other versions of Jaune?" Nora asked. "It might be fun, and we might be able to find our Jaune as well."

The Blacksmith smiled. "Well, it seems Jaune's assessment of you was correct." She said, shocking the N of JNPR.

"How do you know that?"

The Blacksmith sighed, "At one point in Jaune's life in Ever After, he was extremely close in meeting me, although through sheer willpower, he did not. A feat that is a first for Ever After." She explained, "During that brief moment, he was thinking about his team, and team RWBY."

"Awwww, Jaune, that's adorable." Ruby squealed. "That's my bestie."

"I thought I was your bestie." Weiss chuckled as the group began to seat themselves.

"Hey, I can have two besties." Ruby remarked.

Ruby was sitting with her sister, her mother and her dad to the left while Raven sat to the right side of Taiyang. Weiss was with her family, as was Blake, neatly between her mother and father. Pandora, Glynda and Dore had one of the couches to themselves while the kids had one to themselves, though Saphron and Terra had a separate couch with Adrian. Penny and Pietro had a couch to themselves, the former excited to tell her father about the fact that she was a real girl. Qrow was at the bar, mixing up a drink for his container, along with Ozpin who was busy making coffee. Pyrrha was seated with her team, right between Nora and Ren, while Oscar and Emerald were seated as well.

"One thing I must inform you of is that the multiverse is extremely large." The Blacksmith started, "And as such, you will likely see situations that are alien to you, such as having a different pair of parents, being in love with your enemy, being deemed evil. In case of such events taking place, and they will, don't be alarmed."

"Man, I wonder what we'll see." Yang said as she was excited.

The Blacksmith looked at them as she formed a second entity, "This is Adra." The figure, who was now a young girl wearing a blood red skirt with white frills. She had an extremely pale face, black hair and blood red lips. Suffice to say, she gave a feeling of being a vampire. "She will be the one explaining the changes in these other universes while I am away searching for Jaune."

Adra gave a short and courteous bow. "Hope I can be useful." She then looked at all of them, "I can see that you all are seated, so we can begin with our first universe." She said.

"Cool, so what's it about?" Yang asked.

Adra cleared her throat before speaking, "This universe we're about to see is a world filled with conflict, though none of the fighting happens via any weapon of the conventional kind but rather by fists."

"Ooooh, I likey." Yang said as Taiyang was interested in this as well, being the one to teach her how to fight.

"The conflict started way back during the marriage of Heihachi and Kazumi." Adra explained, "Kazumi's family is a descendant of Azazel, a devil, and as a result, they all had a devil gene."

"The devil?" Saphron asked? She wasn't as privy to the internal affairs of the world and the Grimms seeing that she had chosen a more safer route in life.

"Yes, the devil." Adra continued, "Heihachi had initially seen this power in display and the destruction it had caused, due to which he intended to get rid of it."

Every married couple present had a grimace on their face. Learning of such a thing and as a result having to be against your own loved one. Ozpin was the closest here to understand that feeling.

Now looking at the people that were seated before her, she asked, "Shall we begin?"


So, I am making a reaction fanfic for Jaune-verse. I won't be making any M Rated chapters, most of the universes will be original though I might be asking for permission from other authors for other stories.

One thing to note is that while the reaction will be centred around Jaune, he won't be, in any way, be made stronger than RWBY for some of them. Heck, in some of them I have planned, Jaune will hardly make an appearance, and in some, he will be dead and the reaction will focus on the world after the fact.

I will be making the following:

Tekken, along with their Rage Arts and respective stories

Future Gohan's last stand

Street Fighter and respective stories

Jotaro's sacrifice

Asura's Wrath Lost Chapter

Grimm Jaune

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes

Jutusu Kaisen

One extra thing to note, the stories won't always be set in another universe or have another system of power but will have scenes from it written in RWBY, though to explain it, I'll have to write a chapter explaining it.

As always, suggest what ideas should I write about
