Guest: I understand what you're saying and I appreciate the high view you have to my story, it really does mean a lot to me. But you have to understand that I've been doing this story for three years now and I want to move on to do other stuff. I don't think I have the energy to put in another fifty chapters as I want to do other stories to work on. I've said it before that if I ever want to return, I can always do a sequel. But right now, I just want to finish this story for all of you. I hope you can understand.
Guest (2): That might be interesting to do, doing a small main story chapter. I doubt they would do that, I wish it would be him, but I don't think RT cares enough to let that happen.
As the people of the viewing room talked amongst themselves, there was a knock on a door that materialized. The door opened to reveal a delivery man wearing glasses holding a package.
"Package for a mister… "Few"? Mr. Few?"
View gave a deadpan stare at the man in annoyance. "N-no it's actually..." View sighed. "Eh, close enough, yeah it's me." View said.
The Delivery man handed him the form. "Sign here, please." The man said as View created a pen out of thin air and signed it out, handing him back the form. "We thank you for accepting the Multiversal Mailing service." The Delivery man said as he walked back through the doors as they closed behind him.
"Uh, what was that?" Yang asked, confused by the sudden appearance of a random person.
"Oh um, I ordered something to send me the rest of the Spider-Man world." View said.
"You...ordered something?" Ozpin said, perplexed
"I didn't know you could do that." Pyrrha said.
"Yeah it happens sometimes." View shrugged as he opened the package to reveal another Spider-Man orb, he lifted it up, snapped his fingers to summon the other Spider-Man orb he had and proceeded to combine the two into one. "There we go." View said as he held up the completed orb.
"Why wasn't it completed before?" Ren asked curiously.
"Well, from time to time, I get a little sidetracked by observing a whole range of other worlds that sometimes I forget to fill them in." View admitted. "Doesn't happen often, but when it does, It's nice to have a good delivery service."
"Hmm, well that's convenient." Nora said.
"Yep." View said. "Now with that out of the way, let's get this started." View said as he tossed in the Spider-Man orb.
"All right! Let's watch this!" Yang exclaimed, pumping her fist up.
"I'm excited to see where this goes," Ruby smiled.
"Heck yeah!" Nora said with excitement. "Let's watch Spider-Jaune kick some ass!" Nora said as she sat back down and watched the screen along with everyone else.
The scene activates, as our favorite web-slinger swung himself. He had just finished connecting one of the Schnee Corp towers and was now again taking a subway. A person next to him was playing a radio, to which he was bobbing his head to the music.
"Huh, surprised that people are just chilled about having a super hero riding the subway with them." Sun commented.
"Probably seen weirder things." Qrow shrugged.
"Weirder than a super hero taking the subway?" Terra asked with a raised brow.
"Hey, you see some weird stuff if you've ridden them." Qrow said, taking a swig out of his flask.
We then cut to a rooftop where Spider-Man was scoping out the city, when his attention turned to his ringing phone.
"Hey, Jeff!" Spider-Man answers the call, revealing that it was Officer Pines that called. "Congrats on the Ceremony today!"
"Oh cool, it's good to see Jeff again." Ruby smiled at the mention of the cop who helped Jaune.
"Indeed. He did a good service in helping Jaune take down the Demons." Ironwood nodded in agreement.
"I'll be glad when it's over." Jeff admitted over the phone, whilst Spider-Man began swinging. "A truck filled with armed Demons scares me less than public speaking. But I'm calling about something else."
"What's up?"
"Just got a tip that the Demons are moving on the Xiong construction site in midtown." Jefferson explains. "Wife'll kill me if I ditch the ceremony to play cops and robbers, but I thought my friendly neighborhood partner would want to know."
"Smart call, it could lead to their motives." Ironwood said.
"Understood." Spider-Man said, switching his swinging direction towards midtown. "I'll do a swing by, let you know what I find."
"And hey, here's a helpful tip on public speaking: just picture everyone in their underwear." Spider-Man adds, remembering the times when that would help him back in school. But he then realized something, "Wait, not Jacques. Y'know what— nevermind."
"Oh gross!" Yang said in disgust.
Weiss and Winter gagged in disgust of the thought of that.
"Ugh...Didn't need that in my hand." Sun shuddered.
He heard a chuckle on the other line, before it ended as he got closer to the large construction site.
The scene then showed the 'Xiong Construction Site' as a mysterious truck was leaving the scene. Spider-Man landed on a nearby wall, noticing the truck leaving the scene.
"Looks like the tip was right." Tai said.
"Yeah, here's hoping Arc is gonna stop them before any bad happens."
"He will." Ozpin said.
"Consolidation Shipping…" He read the label of the truck, making note of it as it left. He then heard gunfire coming from the upper levels of the construction site's scaffolding. With a quick swing, he landed on one of the foundation's pillars.
"Jeff, I'm here." He said, contacting the officer. Two Demons were carrying a dead body over to a pile of concrete mix, whilst the third held an assault rifle.
"Oh my." Kali gasped.
"They truly are taking over Xiong's territory." Glynda said with a serious look.
"What do you see?"
"Find the rest." One of the Demons ordered the other two, leaving them. "The boss wants them dead."
"Looks like the demons are moving in on Xiong's territory." Spider-Man explains, scowling at the Demons.
"You got this?" Officer Pine asks.
"He's got this." Ruby said with full confidence for her fellow leader and friend.
"I got this." Spider-Man answers as he lands in another position. He saw a few more Demons patrolling the area which caused him to stick to the shadows for cover. He made use of the shadows to web one of the Demons that stuck around, slamming him to the ground and webbing him up before moving on.
He makes his way across the other side of the construction site, webbing and knocking out Demons one by one from the shadows.
"Pretty impressive." Blake complimented. "It can be pretty hard to take someone out using stealth while in the daylight." Blake said. "Especially if he's wearing red and blue."
"Perks of being a wallcrawler I guess." Yang said.
He suddenly heard the sounds of gunfire coming from another area in the construction site. He webbed himself over to where the gunfire came from and landed on a wall in a room where a couple of the Demons held a Xiong goon at gunpoint.
"You got what you came for." The man pleaded, on his knees. "You don't need to kill us too!"
He was immediately met with the butt of the rifle across his face. "Xiong's territory is ours now." The Demon said as he aimed at the man.
"Even though they're criminals, they don't deserve to die." Pyrrha said.
"Agreed," Ren said. "But the Demons aren't going to let them get in the way of their goals, whatever they may be."
"Not today." Spider-Man said to himself as he immediately leaped across the room, webbed the Xiong worker up in the air and swung and kicked the nearest Demon.
"(Spider-Man's here! Sound the alarm!) One of the Demons yelled out.
One of them tries to shoot Spider-Man down, but he just goes out of the way as he fires a web shot at the man, blinding him. He went to deal with the other Demons, either throwing them to the wall and webbing them, throwing objects at them or just using his spider abilities to take them out.
"Nice!" Yang pumped her fist up.
"Pretty impressive moves." Coco complimented.
"And here I thought spiders were just bugs you swat away with a newspaper." Sun said.
Penny then spoke up. "Actually, Spiders are arachnids, not bugs."
"Um, okay." Sun said.
Once they were taken care of, Spider-Man swung upside down next to the Xiong worker he just saved. The sound of a phone could be heard as it fell from the man's pocket, only to be caught by Spider-Man's web as he brought it up to him.
It was an unknown number, but Spidey knew who it was and answered it. "Hey Xiong." Spider-Man greeted as the phone showed Xiong in an orange jumpsuit in his cell.
"You." Xiong said with disdain.
"Aw, Junior, orange looks good on him." Yang remarked with a grin.
"Easy Yang." Blake said.
"Nice jumpsuit. Slimming." Spider-Man complimented.
"Stay out of my business." Xiong warned as he prepared to end the call.
"Wait! The Demons, who's their leader?" Spider-Man asked
Xiong glared at Spider-Man for a second before saying "Keep my men alive and maybe I'll tell you." Xiong said as the call ended.
"Unbelievable, he is in prison and yet he acts like he's still in charge." Weiss said with a frown, crossing her arms.
"Well if Jaune wants information on the Demons, he's gonna have to do what he says." Velvet said.
"It's unfortunate, but it's necessary." Winter said.
Just as it did, helicopters began to surround the construction site. Spider-Man webbed himself to a part of a crane to observe this from a different point. From there, he saw different parts of the construction site being attacked.
"Damn, that is a lot of Demons." Sun commented.
"You can say that again." Yang said in agreement.
"Good! That'll be just more guys for Spider-Jaune to beat up!" Nora said with a grin.
"Saving bad guys from other bad guys. Not how I thought today would go." Spider-Man said to himself as he went towards the nearest spot that needed help.
"I can't imagine it would get any worse." Saphron said.
"Yeah, I go around saying stuff like that." Ruby advised. "It usually ends up with something bad automatically happening."
"She's right y'know." View said
Spider-Man went around the entire construction site just to help Xiong's men from being killed by the Demons. He was smart to use his abilities here and there and use whatever surroundings there were just to take them down. And there were a few close calls here and there, especially when the floor of one part of the building he was on caved in, causing him to fall down a floor, but he moved on and continued to take them out.
"He's going around pretty quickly, taking all of those guys out." Ruby commented.
"Must be thanks to those spider powers." Weiss said.
"They are quite impressive." Ironwood said with interest.
He eventually went back to where he started and took down a group of Demons there. But once he did, he noticed a helicopter flying around him. And inside of the helicopter was a large brute with negative powers emanating from his hand and landed down to where he was, causing a shockwave of negative powers to be unleashed as Spidey dodged back.
"Wow, he's as big as Yatsu." Coco said.
"Hey big guy." Spidey remarked as he went head-to-head against the large Demon. While the bigger Demon was a little harder to take down than like the rest of his comrades, he was still slower than the others, which gave Spider-Man the ample time he needed to web him from moving, giving him a chance to take him on and eventually beat him, along with the backup that came with him.
"Yeah! Take that Demon jerks!" Nora cried out in support of her fearless leader.
"Quite impressive," Ghira complimented as he rubbed his chin. "Taking down an opponent that size isn't always easy."
After a string of various fights and protecting, Spider-Man had managed to save the Xiong workers and beat the Demons without a single life lost. He then called up Xiong to let him know the good news.
"Xiong, your men are safe. Your turn. Who runs the Demons?" Spider-Man demanded.
"Maybe he's there. Maybe he isn't. Check the roof." Xiong cryptically instructed as he hung up.
"Great, that was super helpful." Coco remarked, rolling her eyes.
"Better than nothing." Velvet said.
"I've missed these cryptic Xiong talks." Spider-Man remarked as he looked up in the air to see a helicopter heading for the rooftop. Spider-Man swung towards the area where the helicopter was landing and ran his way up there.
On the rooftop, the helicopter was landing as a man in a Demon mask took down a Xiong Worker and made his way to the helicopter. Spider-Man reached the top of the construction tower, he saw a helicopter starting up its propellers. The Demon with the sword turned around to see the Web-Swinger observing them.
"Murderous scum." Winter scowled.
"Hopefully, Mr Arc will make these Demons pay for their crimes." Glynda glared at the sight of Demon mercilessly killing a man, despite who he works for.
"Hello again." Spider-Man said, recognizing the mask.
The Helicopter began to make its way off the rooftop only for Spider-Man to fire two web lines onto it, preventing it from making its escape. He hooked the webs onto a power generator he was standing on.
"Nice! he's got them now!" Sun said, pumping his fist up.
"At the moment, yes. But I don't think it's gonna be quite as simple as that." Ozpin said.
"It never usually is." Ironwood nodded in agreement.
The Demon then grabbed a rocket launcher from his ally and fired a negative powered rocket right at the generator, causing Spider-Man to be launched up in the air as the generator crashed into a nearby crane, causing it to detach and fall.
"Oh no." Pyrrha said, worried.
"Don't worry, he's got this." Ruby said with faith.
"But for how long." Winter said.
Spider-Man got up to see the generator swinging from the Helicopter while the crane slowly proceeded to fall. "Oh come on!" Jaune muttered to himself as he ran towards the crane which was close to falling on the streets below and killing the people below. "Nonononono!" Spider-Man repeatedly said as he fired web lines onto the crane and tried his best to pull it back from hurting anyone. He nearly got it to a stable enough position until his spider sense went off, causing his head to turn to see the swinging crane heading towards him.
"Oh come on!" Nora exclaimed.
"Man, does the universe have it out for Jaune or something?" Yang asked.
"It is highly improbable that is the case."
"You'd be surprised." View said.
The crane knocked Spider-Man right off the rooftop as he proceeded to fall to the ground. He quickly regained consciousness as he let out a gasp as he quickly fired a web line and made his way onto the Hightower as it continued to fall as the people on the ground watched.
Spider-Man began to run up the crane as he fired a massive web connecting the crane to the side of the construction site and then connected it to the surrounding buildings, managing to prevent the crane crashing down on the people below.
"That was close." Ruby let out a sigh of relief.
"Now all he needs to do is to stop them before they can do anymore damage." Velvet said.
"Did that just happen?" Spider-Man asked himself.
Now that the crane was sorted, Spider-Man began to chase after the fleeing helicopter and stop the Demons. As he was swinging after them, he was getting a call from Blake.
"I'm getting reports of a…helicopter with a wrecking ball?" Blake said in a confused tone.
"That's one way of putting it." Yang said.
"I don't think there's really any other way." Ilia said.
"Yeah, things with the Demons got…complicated." Spider-Man said as the Helicopter smashed a nearby water tower. "Sit tight, Blake I got this." Spider-Man assured as he ended the call. "Please let me got this." Spider-Man said to himself as he continued to chase after the helicopter.
"You got this, fearless leader!" Nora exclaimed, throwing her fist up in the air.
As Spider-Man continued to chase after the Helicopter, the Demons resorted to using Rockets against Spider-Man. He was shocked at first, but quickly managed to dodge the oncoming rockets, while the generator attached to the helicopter smashed through a billboard sign.
"Oh!" Coco winced. "That's not good."
As Spidey continued to chase down the helicopter as it smashed through a few buildings, he got a call back from Blake.
"That helicopter is destroying the city." Blake said bluntly
"I know." Spider-Man simply said.
"You need to bring it down." Blake said sternly
"I know." Spider-Man repeated
"Maybe you could super-hero a little faster?" Blake exclaimed.
"Man, when did Blake sound like Weiss." Yang remarked.
"Hey!" Weiss cried out.
"You can hardly blame her for being worried." Glynda said.
"Working on it, Blake. Call you when it's done!" Spider-Man said as he hung up on the Police Captain.
As Spider-Man continued his chase for the Demons, he found himself getting closer towards them. "Now's my chance." Jaune said to himself as he webbed himself right onto the generator. Unfortunately for the web head, the demons crashed the generator right through a building as Spider-Man got off it and proceeded to run through the building as the generator was crashing towards him.
"Well, that's not gonna be good for Jaune when Jonah hears this." Yang said.
"No doubt." Ilia said in agreement.
"At this rate, they'll cause more and more damage." Ghira said with worry.
"Here's hoping the kid has got a good idea in that head of his." Qrow said.
Spidey then carefully stopped in one place and ducked as the generator went over his head, time slowing down as the generator fell out the window, Spider-Man latching onto it with its webs as it fell and crashed into the roof of another building.
"Oh, that's gotta hurt." Tai winced.
"Just need to move through the pain." Qrow said.
Spider-Man grunted as he got up from the crash and proceeded to run through the room, where at the end of it was the demons in the Helicopter, aiming their rocket launchers at him. "Hope I live to regret this." Spider-Man said to himself as he traversed through the collapsing room, moving through and past objects while avoiding a rocket. Once he got close enough, he launched himself out of the building and right through the helicopter, knocking the Demon with the launcher out of the helicopter.
"Damn, that was cool!" Yang exclaimed.
"Heck yeah!" Nora cried out in agreement.
"Let's hope he doesn't let that guy fall." Weiss said.
"Jaune wouldn't let that happen." Pyrrha said "Unlike the Demons, Jaune cares about who gets hurt."
"Hi. Is this the flight to Newark?" Spidey quipped as time slowed down until he was on the other side of the chopper and fired a web at the Demon he kicked out and swung him into the building for safety while he was at the bottom of the helicopter. "Afraid I have to ask you to pull over the helicopter, sir." Spidey quipped. Spider-Man then crawled around the helicopter as the Demons tried to get him off. But he was too quick for them as he proceeded to pull apart one of the Helicopters engines.
"Pretty smart, taking down their engines, preventing them from using the helicopter." Penny said.
"One engine down; now for the second..." Spidey said to himself as he crawled to the second one, dodging a sword from one of the Demons. "This is your master plan? Replace Xiong?" Spidey asked as he reached the other side.
"Xiong is only the beginning!" The Demon exclaimed.
"Well that's not concerning." Qrow remarked.
As Spider-Man pulled apart the second engine, The Demons were struggling to control it as the helicopter began to swirl out of control.
"Oh no." Velvet said in worry.
"Jaune's gonna have to act fast." Ren said.
"Need a plan... need a plan real fast..." Spidey said as he crawled to the top as the chopper fell down. Spider-Man then fired two web lines onto two nearby buildings and attached them to the helicopter.
"Pretty smart, using the buildings to slow down the crash." Tai said.
"Will that be enough?" Saphron asked.
"He's gonna have to improvise more than that if he wants to stop that helicopter to not fall on the people below." Qrow said.
"I GUESS THIS IS THE PLANNN!" Spidey yelled out as he used his spider strength to help lift the helicopter as it crashed through the streets, its tail flying right off and was about to hit a crowd of people.
"Oh no!" Ruby cried out.
"Come on, Jaune." Pyrrha encouraged.
"Come on, Jaune. You got this." He said to himself as he prepared to fire a web at the tail. ""Yougotthis-yougotthis-yougotthis!" He said as he managed to get the tail away from hurting anyone and lifted it up in the air, webbing it to a nearby building.
"Nice!" Sun pumped his fist up.
"He's not done yet." Blake said.
The Helicopter flew up in the air as Spider-Man then leaped up away from it as he dived down with the falling Helicopter with his web shooters primed and ready. "Please don't screw this up." Jaune said as he fired a barrage of webbing onto the falling helicopter, webbing it to the surrounding buildings and preventing it from falling onto the people below as Spider-Man landed on the copter with a pose as everyone below looked in awe.
Ozpin smiled at what Jaune had done. "Well done, Mr Arc." Ozpin said quietly.
"Pretty impressive work." Tai complimented.
"I'll say." Qrow said in agreement.
"It was indeed an impressive display of skill." Winter said.
Inside the helicopter, one of the Demons woke up to see Spider-Man staring back at him as he lifted up his mask. "These masks are so awesome." Spider-Man complimented. "Where do you get them?"
"(I'll kill you!)" The Demon exclaimed as he pulled out a sword and attempted to kill Spider-Man, only for him to grab the blade.
"Cool, thanks. Do they have a website?" Spidey quipped as the demon out of the helicopter, and he landed on the web net.
"Doesn't look like he's gonna give him the link." Coco remarked with a grin.
"Whoops." Spider-Man said casually as he exited the helicopter.
"Hey, Blake, I caught the bad guys, but…" Spidey slightly heisted as he knelt next to the trapped demon.
"But what?" Blake asked.
"You might want to bring a ladder." Spider-Man remarked as began to web swing out of the area as the people below watched their hero leave.
"It's gonna have to be a big one." Nora commented.
One of those people was a boy recording the hero swing right by him.
"Yo Oscar." His friend said as he began to leave, the boy named Oscar was in awe over what just happened.
"Hey, it's that Oscar kid." Yang pointed out.
"Oh yeah, I've seen him before." Sun said. "We saw him when he had a duel with Weiss's brother."
"And when he was there in that Persona one." Ren added.
"Hey fanboy!" His friend repeated as the boy named Oscar turned around and smiled as he followed his friend.
Oscar then got a text on his phone from his dad asking where he was, causing Oscar to stop in his tracks in realization. "Oh crap, I'm late." Oscar said to himself.
"You coming?" His friend asked.
"No, I gotta get to City Hall for my dad's ceremony." Oscar said.
"Oh, so he's Jeff's kid." Sun said
"Looks like it." Blake said
"Oh, right. Tell your pops I said congrats!" His friend said as he and Oscar did their own handshake as they parted ways, Oscar texting his dad that he was coming as he made his for the ceremony.
Meanwhile, Jaune was currently taking a break after dealing with that while scenario with the Helicopter. He then decided to call Pyrrha. "Pyrrha, did they start the ceremony yet?" Jaune asked.
"They're still setting up. Where are you?" Pyrrha asked.
"Got hung up at work. Be there soon." Jaune promised as he hung and proceeded to make his way to the ceremony service.
"At least now Jaune can be there when Jeff receives his medal for acting bravely against the Demons." Winter said
"Indeed." Weiss said in agreement. "Though I do wish it wasn't to be done by father." Weiss said the last part quietly to herself.
The screen then changes to the award ceremony where the Pine Family were making their way towards it. "There's the stage entrance." Rio pointed out. "And we'll be right out front."
"Sounds like a lot of people out there." Jeff said, sounding a little anxious.
"I know I'd be nervous if I had to make a speech in front of a bunch of people." Ruby said, knowing what Jeff was feeling.
"You'll be fine, honey." She assured me.
"The last time I gave a speech, I was in high school. Ms. Steinberg gave me a C minus." Jeff said.
"If only Ms. Steinberg could see you now." Rio smiled.
"Hey, you got this, Dad." Oscar encouraged. "I mean come on, you saved Spider-Man. I'm pretty sure that makes you an official Superhero."
"A superhero?" Jeff chuckled. "Or...Maybe I'm just a guy who doesn't give up."
"Sounds about right." Ironwood said with a smile on his face.
Rio smiled as she hugged her husband. After parting, Jeff made his way to the podium. "C'mon honey." Rio said to Oscar as they made their way to the crowd.
The screen then changed to the ceremony beginning, where banners to re-elect Jacques Schnee for mayor while tons of people were already applauding.
Winter frowned and rolled her eyes at the banners on display. "Of course he would..." Winter muttered to herself.
"Wow, he really did go there." Yang commented.
"Not surprised." Weiss said in a deadpan tone before she sighed. "But at least Officer Pine will be recognized for his work."
"Welcome, everyone." the Deputy Mayor greeted. "And before I hand it off to Mayor Schnee. I'd just like to say a few words."
As the Deputy Mayor began speaking, Jaune and Pyrrha were watching within the crowd.
"So...?" Pyrrha asked.
"I think this gang war may finally be over." Jaune said.
"Like... like, OVER-over?" Pyrrha asked, hoping that was the case.
"I didn't think it'd be as easy as that." Ghira said.
"With stuff like this, highly doubtful." Tai said.
"I mean, there's some loose ends still to be tied up. But..."
"...loose ends?" Pyrrha asked.
"Well, a truck pulled away from the scene, from a company called Consolidated Shipping. Something's not right about it... just don't know what." Jaune explained.
"Hm. Well maybe after this we can grab some coffee, figure it out together." Pyrrha said with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, um..." Jaune said, very much liking the idea of that.
"Ooh, look at that, looks like someone is making a move." Coco said with a grin.
Pyrrha couldn't help but smile at this. She knew that this wasn't her Jaune, but it gave her hope that maybe Jaune that was back home would feel like this with her hopefully.
"Yeah! Get it sister!" Nora cried out in support of her teammate and honorary sister.
Just then, Jacques appeared on the podium. "Thanks, Jim. Couldn't have said it better myself. But I'll try." Jacques jokes as Jeff stood beside him. "We all know that Officer Pine is a hero..."
"Here we go." Qrow rolled his eyes.
Back with Jaune and Pyrrha. "But uh... Instead of coffee we could have dinner instead? I could come over— I'll cook. Or we could, you know meet at a totally neutral location for a completely normal meal. Cooked by professionals." Jaune proceeded to ramble on nervously, prompting Pyrrha to smile and giggle.
"Probably a good thing." Saphron giggled. "Jaune was kind of a mess when it came to cooking."
"I could always offer to teach him." Ren said. "I happen to be quite skilled when it comes to cooking."
"Yeah he is." Nora nodded with a grin. "Renny makes the best pancakes."
Jacques then stood in front of Jeff. "For acts of extraordinary bravery, above and beyond the call of duty, it is my privilege to present Officer Jefferson Pine with the Department Medal of Honor." Jacques said as he began giving him the medal.
Winter automatically saluted in response at this, prompting Qrow to chuckle at her.
"Heh, couldn't help yourself could 'ya?" Qrow smirked.
"Silence drunk!" Winter glared. "I'm showing respect, something you clearly know nothing about."
"Pfft, sure, Ice Queen." Qrow said, causing Winter to growl in anger at him.
Just then, the Deputy Mayor stood beside Jacques. "Phone call, Sir." He whispered.
"Kind of in the middle of something here, Jim." Jacques said while pinning the medal to Jeff's uniform.
"Sounds urgent, sir..." The Deputy Mayor said with the utmost seriousness.
"Fine." Jacques said, sounding irritated. He then shook Jeff's hand. "Congratulations, sir." Jacques said as Jeff nodded in response.
"I wonder what this could be?" Velvet wondered.
"By the sounds of it, something very important." Weiss theorized.
Oscar and Rio applauded Jeff for this highest honor as they watched him attend the podium as Jaune and Pyrrha watched. "Uh, thank you. Mr. Mayor. I share this honor with my family, my wife, Rio, and my son, Oscar. Without their support I couldn't do what I do." Jeff spoke to the crowd in sincerity.
Jacques was walking away from the podium as he took a call. "Yes?" He responded.
"I've worked many years for this moment." The caller on the other line said ominously.
"Well, that doesn't sound good." Sun said, starting to become a little worried.
Blake didn't say a word as her eyes widened in response at the caller. She knew who it was, as did Ghira, Kali and Ilia.
"Who is this?" Jacques demanded.
"Over the coming days your company, your city, and everything you care about Will be destroyed. People will beg you for help, but you won't be able to save them." The caller said.
"Who is this guy?" Yang asked. "Because he sure as hell doesn't sound like a scammer."
"I imagine this must be the leader of the Demons." Ozpin said, keeping a tight hold of his cane.
"Listen jackass. I get threats like this twice a week. Why don't you grow a pair and tell me what you want?" Jacques said.
"To watch you suffer." The man said as he line went dead and Jacques fell into one of worry. The police around him started to move him away to a safe area.
"That doesn't clear my worries." Saphron said with a concerned look on her face.
View then came down before Saphron and Terra. "I think it would be best if your son wasn't awake during this." View said.
They both nodded in response as View waved his hand, causing Adrian to fall asleep as he was turned away from the screen by Terra as precaution.
Jaune noticed this when suddenly his spider sense began to go crazy, looking around to see what it was. As that was happening, a man got out of his car and walked towards the crowd, wearing a bomb vest on him and his entire body changing into negative colors.
The Audience grew worried more and more by this.
"Oh no, The Demons." Ruby said in a grave tone.
"They're planning on bombing City Hall and everyone there!" Sun exclaimed.
"Not if Jaune can stop it!" Nora said in support of her leader.
"Can he?" Ilia asked. "Can he really stop them in time?"
Jaune's spider sense continued to tingle as he suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd. He moved past Pyrrha, who looked at him in concern as he moved past the crowd to see who this person was.
"No, please no..." Blake thought to herself, hoping it wasn't who she thought she was. But she knew.
As he moved, he spotted the man from the car, looking like he was charging with Negative energy. But he also spotted another figure, one very familiar to him. Adam Taurus, standing there as his hands were radiating with the same Negative energy as the Demons had.
"Oh no..." Blake muttered in horror at what was about to happen.
"Taurus." Ironwood growled in anger at the sight of him. He had hoped that this version of him was indeed a good man. But it looked like it wasn't the case.
Ghira hung his head down in shame at this.
Jaune suddenly snapped his head back up to the podium, where he saw that the Deputy Mayor's eyes were glowing and his skin changed into Negative colors like the Demons, causing Jaune to fall back in pain due to his spider sense.
"He's one of them!?" Yang exclaimed.
"It...appears so." Ren said as his eyes were glued to the screen.
Suddenly, the man with the bomb vest suddenly went off, causing a large negative powered explosion to occur as people cried out in terror. "Dad!" Oscar called out to his father in the crowd, pointing at the Deputy Mayor as Jeff turned to see that he two was wearing a bomb vest on him.
"Oh god..." Glynda gasped in horror, placing her hand over her mouth.
"How's he going to get out of there in time!?" Velvet asked.
"I don't think he will." Ozpin solemnly said.
Acting on instinct, Jeff quickly pushes the man to the ground and away from the people around him, using himself as cover to protect them, but it was to late, the bomb vest went of and caused a massive explosion.
"Jeff!" Ruby cried out in horror at seeing the man who helped Jaune being caught in the bomb.
Jaune ran over to Pyrrha as the explosion happened. "Get down!" Jaune yelled out as he threw her down to protect her while he was blown away by the impact of the explosion as people watched from blocks away and the screen suddenly went to black.
"JAUNE!" Pyrrha, Saphron and Ruby cried out at the sight of the blonde being blown away. Pyrrha herself knew this wasn't her Jaune, but that didn't come into her mind as the sight of seeing the boy she cared for being blown away was too terrifying for her to separate at that time..
The audience could do nothing but look in horror as they saw the explosions going off, no doubt killing or injuring a large amount of people.
When the screen came back up, it showed a first person perspective from Oscar, who was lying on the ground as more bombs were being set off. Oscar's vision began fading in and out, when it faded in, he could see himself being dragged away from the bomb site with his mother crying out for him.
"All those people." Kali gasped quietly as she felt her husband wrap his arm around her in comfort.
"Oscar! Oscar, are you okay?!" Rio called out as Oscar looked around to see other people running away from the explosions.. "Oscar?!" Oscar turned his head to see Jaune lying a few feet away from him, knocked out from the blast as Pyrrha stood beside him.
"Jaune..." Saphron teared up at the sight of her brother in that state, his team was also scarred for their leader and friend.
"Jaune! Come on, Jaune!" Pyrrha pleaded as she desperately tried to wake him up as Oscar's vision faded back out.
"Oscar!" Rio cried out as Oscar opened his eyes to see Pyrrha crying over Jaune, thinking that he was dead.
"Thank God... can you hear me, baby?" Rio asked as she helped Oscar up as Pyrrha was desperately trying to wake Jaune.
"Stay here," Rio instructed as she proceeded to go back to the site. "I'm going to find your father." Rio said.
"No! Don't do that!" Winter reprimanded. "You'll only get yourself killed!"
"Jaune, Jaune wake up! Come on, say something. Please." Pyrrha cried out as Oscar stood himself up and carefully walked over to where his mother ran off too.
"Is...is he?" Pyrrha dreaded to even ask the question.
"He's alive." View confirmed, causing Pyrrha to let out a small sigh of relief at this.
"Mom!" Oscar called out as he tried to find her amongst the smoke as things around him started to crumble and fall. "This is crazy..." Oscar said to himself as he continued his search. He had to move through a building and crawl under debris just to get to the other side of the blocked path before him.
"He's quite quick and resourceful." Penny commented, her expression worried like the rest.
"He shouldn't be going anywhere near where the blast originated." Winter said. "Nor his mother."
"Can't blame them," Qrow said. "His dad was dead center of the blast."
Once he got over that, he found his mother under some rubble as an EMT was trying to lift it off her. Oscar ran over to where she was to try and help her out of it.
"Oscar! Can't... breathe..." Rio gasped as Oscar desperately tried to lift the debris off her with all the strength he could muster. Oscar grunted as it was too much for him as he fell on his back.
"Oh no..." Ruby muttered in horror. She didn't want Oscar to lose his mother during this horrible event.
"Ahh! Hurry." Rio pleaded.
"Dammit!" Oscar cursed
"HURRY! It's slipping!" The EMT called out as Oscar grabbed a nearby long pipe and stuck it under the rubble. Using his strength, he used the pipe to help lift the debris off of Rio, giving the EMT time to help drag her out of the rubble.
"Got her!" The man said as Oscar let go of the pipe, causing the rubble to fall.
"Oh thank goodness." Kali breathed out.
"Nice one, kid." Qrow complimented.
"Hopefully, she'll be safe now." Weiss said.
"Oscar, Oscar. Oscar. Oscar... Oh my god." Rio sobbed as Oscar went over to her.
"Are you okay?" Oscar asked.
"Nice going, kid." The EMT said.
"Yeah, it was pretty brave of him." Sun said in agreement.
"I'll say." Coco said.
"Kids got balls, I'll give him that." Qrow said.
"I'm all right, Mom. I'm all right. Are you sure you're okay?" Oscar said as he hugged his mother.
"Yes, I'm gonna be alright. I'm gonna be alright, son. I love you." Rio said.
"All right listen, I... I have to go find Dad, okay?" Oscar said as he stood up and began looking for him.
Winter groaned at this. "No, you shouldn't be anywhere near this."
"Easy, Winter." Ironwood advised. "It's natural for him to want to save his father."
"Oscar, no. Oscar. NO!" Rio cried out and tried to move, but was in too much pain to do so.
"Dad's in there, I'll find him." Oscar said to himself as he lifted himself up on some debris and proceeded to move for a high view, despite the pleading protests from his mother.
"Kid's gonna get himself killed." Tai shook his head.
"Can hardly blame him." Sun said. "His dad was dead center in the blast zone."
He carefully walked along a pipe to see the damage caused by the explosion. He looked around, but saw no sight of his father in the crowd of people. "He was right there." Oscar said to himself.
But just then, a few cars suddenly rolled up to the area. "What the hell...?" Oscar said to himself as people wearing Demon masks were starting to get out of them, holding guns in their hands.
"Oh great, more of these assholes." Yang glared at the sight of the Demons.
They then proceeded to open fire upon the survivors of the bombing. Oscar's eyes widened in fear as he quickly dropped himself down on the ground so as to not get spotted. He fell down on the ground, quickly scurrying to get up as he carefully hid behind the rubble.
The audience were in shock and horror at this display of cruelty
"Oh my god..." Pyrrha gasped, bringing her hand close to her mouth.
"Monsters." Weiss glared at the Demons.
"How could these people do such horrible things?" Penny asked with tears forming in her eyes.
"People...are sometimes not as good as we want them to be, Penny." Winter spoke softly to the android girl.
"Where do you think you're going?" One Demon said as they started to kill off the survivors, either by gun or using their Negative energy.
Oscar carefully navigated himself out of the area by crawling under a flipped over car, keeping out of sight
"(Spread out! No survivors!)" A Demon called out to his comrades.
Oscar continued to crawl through the car until he was stopped by a man being thrown to the ground just near him. "No, no... No!" The man begged until he was stabbed in the chest by a negative powered sword.
"Oh dear lord..." Glynda gasped at the horrible sight seen before her.
"What a needless and pointless slaughter." Ozpin muttered with a somber look on his face.
This deeply shocked Oscar, but didn't have time to stop unless he'd be next, so he gathered up his courage and continued to crawl out of the car, also being shocked by the body of the driver of the car. He saw a Demon right in front of him and patiently waited for him to move away.
"Oh god." Saphron gasped, quickly turning her head away. She was thankful her son wasn't awake to see this.
Once he got away, Oscar crawled out of the car and hid behind some rubble once more, the other side of it had a group of Demons patrolling the area.
"(Check the podium for survivors.)" A demon ordered as Oscar carefully avoided being caught as he crossed over to the other side. He stopped when there were two Demons investigating the area he needed to go through.
"Pretty nimble." Sun said
"Let's hope he doesn't get caught." Yang prayed.
Once they were out of sight, he quickly jumped over the rubble and quickly sneaked his way through. He made his way to a car, which he crawled over and found a railing to walk upon. As he did, he saw that there were Demons just under him executing more survivors.
Oscar jumped down at the end of the railing, reaching closer to the podium where his father was.
"(There's no one alive here. Let's go.)" One Demon said.
"(This is only the beginning.)" Another Demon said.
"Dad was right there, gotta help him." Oscar said to himself as he hopped over the rubble and made his way through, dodging the sights of a nearby Demon.
Ironwood sighed in frustration. "I admire the boy's bravery, but he's not equipped or skilled enough to handle this."
But suddenly, Oscar walked over some broken glass, causing the nearby Demon to point his gun around the area Oscar was just at while he hid behind a cover spot. ("Who's there?)" The Demon called out as he looked around the area for anyone, but seemed like it was nothing. "(False alarm.)" The Demon said to himself as he searched elsewhere.
"That was too close." Ruby slightly gasped.
Oscar moved up the stairs of City Hall where he saw a Demon with his back turned. "I got you, dad." Oscar said as he grabbed a nearby pipe as the Demon was finishing off someone.
"Kid, don't." Qrow muttered to himself.
The Demon quickly turned around to see Oscar about to hit him with the pipe, only for the Demon to slash it away with his blade, kicking Oscar down the stairs.
"Oh dammit, no." Yang cursed.
The Demon tossed away the pipe and made his way down to Oscar to finish him off.
"No, no, no!" Ruby repeated.
The audience braced themselves. They weren't ready to see the young boy getting killed nor did they want it to happen, just as he was so close to finding his father.
"No... stop. No!" Oscar begged as he attempted to crawl away from the approaching Demon. He was about to strike Oscar down until...
"Enough." The voice of his leader called out to him, prompting him to stop. "We have to leave. Now." The man said, revealing himself to be none other than Adam Taurus, the true leader of the Demons as he walked away from the site with his men, his eyes glowing with the same negative powers as the others.
"It looks like Mr. Taurus appears to be the leader of the Demons." Ozpin observed.
"And here I thought he was actually doing good for a worthwhile cause." Winter scowled. "Instead it was most likely an act to cause harm and damage."
"But...he looked like he cared." Velvet said.
"Guess not enough, Vel." Coco said as she placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Dad," Oscar muttered as he got up to run to where the Podium used to be. "Dad!" Oscar called out as he limped his way up there, looking around to find his father on the ground, motionless.
"Oh no..." Glynda gasped.
"He...He's gone." Yang said in sadness.
Panic and horror filled Oscar and he limped over to his father and tried to wake him. "Dad!" Oscar called out. "Dad!" Oscar yelled as he turned his father over, his body bloodied and lifeless. "Dad no!" Oscar cried as tears began to well up in his eyes. "Wake up, wake up! Wake up..." Oscar begged and pleaded, but nothing came from the now deceased Officer Pines as Oscar looked up in horror and sadness at the loss of his father.
Ruby's eyes swelled up in sadness as this. Knowing full well what it was like to lose a parent. She felt Yang warp an arm in support around her as she hung her head down.
Ironwood clenched his fist in anger at this. This day was supposed to honor Jeff for his honor and bravery. Instead, he was needlessly killed, alongside other innocent people by a group of a terrorists.
One Week Later
The screen opened back up to the funeral of Jefferson Pines, where Jacques Schnee was handing the now Widow, Rio Pines a folded flag in honor of the fallen officer. He placed a comforting pat on her shoulder as she solemnly nodded in response.
He then walked over to Oscar and shook his hand in remorse. But Oscar was too heartbroken to reciprocate as he just stared at his father's coffin. Helicopters flew by the site as all the uniformed officers saluted for their fallen comrade.
"Poor kid." Tai said in sympathy for the young boy.
"I can't imagine this is gonna be easy for him." Ghira said.
Moments later, after the funeral ended, Oscar was standing over his father's coffin, Jaune, Pyrrha and his mother watching him as Jaune walked over to where Oscar was.
"I'm sorry for your loss." Jaune said with sympathy.
"Do I know you?" Oscar asked, looking up at Jaune.
"Jaune Arc. I was at City Hall when –" Jaune stopped. "Look... I know you don't know me, but I just wanted to say —"
"I know what you're going through." Oscar finished for him; his voice slightly breaking.
"Uh." Jaune said, unsure of how to answer Oscar.
"That's what you were gonna say, right? Or... "It all gets easier with time." Or... "Don't worry... it's part of God's plan." Oscar listed out.
"I'm sorry, I was just trying —" Jaune began to apologize to him.
"Trying to help." I know." Oscar said somberly as he walked away to be on his own.
"It's hard not to blame him, considering what he's going through." Ren said, knowing the feelings he went through when he lost his family. "The loss of a family member is...not easy to go through." A twinge of pain appeared on his face as Nora held his hand in comfort.
Oscar's mother walked over to Jaune. "I'm sorry about that." Rio apologized. "I don't know what I'm gonna do with him." She said as she watched her son on his own as she walked over to support him as Jaune stood there, reflecting on the loss of a good man.
The screen turned itself off as the air of the room left a somber air to it.
"I'm sorry you all had to see that." View said.
"These Demons...They need to be stopped." Ren said with a serious look on his face as Nora held his hand in support.
"They need to pay for what they've done." Weiss said with the same tone as Ren.
"I just can't believe this happened." Ruby said with a saddened look.
"It's perfectly believable." Winter said with a scowl. "Taurus will do anything to get what he wants. He doesn't care about who gets hurt or even killed in the process, so long as it suits his goals."
Ilia would've made a comment in defence of her leader, but found herself unable to do so, instead just sit there in silence, thinking about the lives taken at the bombing.
"Well one things for certain, I truly wish to see Mr. Arc bring these terrorists to justice." Glynda said with an seriousness edge to her tone.
"You got that right." Qrow said with the same tone as Glynda said.
"I just hope that Jaune will be able to stop them before anyone else is killed." Pyrrha said.
View nodded. "I understand you're all upset by the circumstances. If you want, we can take a break if you wish."
"I think we're good...for now, at least." Yang said.
"Okay." View said. "I'll let you all converse amongst yourselves. Call me back if you wish to continue." View said as he left the room and went back to his area.
Yang noticed that her partner had not spoken since the viewing ended. "You okay, Blake?" Yang asked.
"I...I just...I was really hoping that he wasn't like this...That he was a good person." Blake said quietly. "I guess I was wrong."
"I get it." Yang said in understanding. "You wanted to see the best in him. I get it."
Blake sighed. "I just hope Jaune will stop him before anything else bad happens."
Most if not everyone was in agreement that the Demons were far worse then they could possibly imagine. They hope that Jaune will be able to stop them from hurting any more people and stop whatever they had planned.
Thanks for reading this chapter of Worlds of Arc
Credit for the opening segment of the chapter goes to DragonKnight SR, he helped me with that part of the story while I finished up the rest of it.
I wanna thank those of you who were understanding of my long hiatus to Worlds of Arc. Volume 8 wasn't the only reason why I haven't updated. I've been doing this story for three years now and it's started to take a toll on me.
When it comes to doing these chapters, Spider-Man ones especially, they take considerably longer than any other chapter I've worked on for my other stories.
At this point, I might just focus purely on doing the Spider-Man story and throw in a few other chapters here and there, if that's what people want that is. If I do dedicate purely to the Spider-Man story, I might have to shorten or even skim things down in the story. For example, I won't be doing side quests like Tombstone or Black Cat. Sorry for those who wanted to see them, but if I'm doing the Spider-Man story any further, I wanna focus stickily on the main story itself.
Anyways, thanks for reading this. Be sure to stay tuned for the next chapter to come out. Thanks and see you Around!
