BGM: Hades' Infernal Theme (Kid Icarus: Uprising)

"Time! Space! Reality! It's more than just a boring ol' linear path! It's a prism of boundless entertainment! A single choice can branch out into infinite realities and infinite amusement from yours truly! Alternate universes created from the ones that we know and love! I am Lord Hades, your handsome guide to these wonderful and boundless fun of opportunities! Follow me, if you dare… and bask in the neverending torturous question of:"

SUPER RWBY: WHAT IF?

"What If!"

End BGM

"That universe seems to have a lot of potential! It also seems to have everyone reincarnated as Pokemon considering Salem might have won. Still, Mystery Dungeon is pretty great all things considered."

Hades looked through the universes once more. "Wouldn't it be ironic if Salem was reborn and she was nothing but a measly Sunkern? That'd be hilarious!" He laughed as he found a universe that snagged his attention.

"Ooooh, a cluster of universes? Haven't seen this since that Dark Ruby montage." Hades said as he took a peek. "Oooooh, this looks fascinating!"

Hades looked up. "So, we all know the story of how Seryu killed Jacques in cold blood, not to mention Maki was also there about to do the deed but was rather too late. However, let's say Maki had too much time on her hands…"

Hades smirked. "Anyone up for a Death of Jacques montage?"

What If… Maki Assassinated Jacques (In many different ways?)

"Because I know I am!"

Maki sat alone in her home, the TV playing in the background as she was on her laptop. At that moment, she received an email. "Hmm?"

"ASSASSINATION REQUEST"

With a raised eyebrow, Maki opened the email.

"Dear Maki Harukawa, I'm emailing you for a request. I need you to assassinate Jacques Schnee. He is a pain in the ass and what he's been doing is absurd. I've had enough of his bullshit. I don't care how you do it, I just want him gone. I will send a following email with your reward after the deed has been done.

Anonymous"

Maki closed her laptop and put it underneath her couch before stretching. "Alright… let's get to work."

What If… Maki Poisoned Jacques?

At the SDC, Maki poked her head out of a bush and snuck inside a window. She snuck past the doors and opened one door, seeing that it was a security room with no one inside. Must be on lunch break.

She snuck inside and saw the many security footages around the establishment. She pulled out a microchip and stuck it underneath, which caused the many screens to malfunction and static. With a smirk, she disappeared and proceeded to sneak her way around until she got to Jacques' office.

She noticed it was slightly open as she snuck her way inside, seeing nobody was in there as she walked straight to his desk and pulled out a vial and a spoon. She put a few drops in it and mixed it in with the spoon. She wiped the spoon shortly after and nodded in satisfaction.

"-And you can keep that mangy skinwalker with you!"

Maki's eyes widened as she quickly vaulted over a bookcase and hid in the shadows as Jacques walked in with a grumble. He paused for a moment and looked at the door. He could've sworn it was closed earlier.

He shrugged and went to his desk. He sat down as he started to work at his computer where he proceeded to take a sip of his drink.

Within a few seconds, Jacques facedesked and went limp. Maki hopped down and checked his pulse, confirming that he was dead. WIth a nod, she headed out undetected, including getting the microchip out of the security desk, where the cameras went back online, one screen showing Jacques dead at his desk.

What If… Make Poisoned Jacques a Different Way?

At a fancy restaurant, Maki, who had worn a fancy dress, looked through her menu. "Here's your drink, madam." The waitress said, handing her a straw as well.

"Thank you."

"Now what would you like to eat?" The waitress asked.

"I'll take a steak with some steak fries."

"Excellent choice."

"I would also like to keep the menu. I like to look close attention to the details."

The waitress sweatdropped. "Unusual… but okay." She nodded as she walked off.

Maki shifted her eyes to see Jacques by himself enjoying his meal. She immediately opened the menu in front of her to cover herself as she opened up the top of the wrapper of the straw as she put some poison into her drink, then she dipped her covered straw into it, and then when Jacques opened his mouth to take a bite, she swiftly aimed and blew into the straw, shooting the poisoned wrapper into his mouth.

"Mmmph!" Jacques grunted, pulling the wrapper out of his mouth in bewilderment while Maki had swiftly went back to reading her menu. "Where did that come from…?" He wondered before he went back to his meal…

…And faceplanted into his filet mignon.

Maki discreetly poured the poison drink into a potted plant, then put her glass back on the table and nonchalantly read the menu.

"Here's your order, ma'am! …Oh! Someone was thirsty. Would you like a refill?"

"Yes. And can I have a fresh glass too? The glass I had wasn't to my liking."

"Oh, certainly."

The waitress turned around, only to see Jacques on the table. She snickered and walked over. "Was the filet mignon too filling and made you fall asleep, Mister Schnee?" She teased, shaking him lightly. "...Mister Schnee? Sir? Wake up, come on… this isn't a joke? Mister Schnee? MISTER SCHNEE!"

Maki casually cut into her steak.

"OH MY OUM, HE'S DEAD!"

Maki took a bite and then swallowed after chewing on it. "Mmm, juicy."

What If… Maki Was His Personal Limo Driver?

The driver pulled up to the Schnee Mansion as he got out of the car to take a smoke break while waiting for Jacques. At that moment, Maki smacked him in the back of the neck to knock him out.

She then swiftly drug him to some shrubbery where she stripped him of his clothing and walked out in disguise while putting her hair into a bun. She got into the driver's seat right as Jacques stepped into the limo.

"I saw you emerging from the bush. What were you doing?" Jacques asked.

"I… was taking a leak. Nature calls, ya know?" Maki responded in a fake deep voice.

"Hmm, you could have held it in but whatever." Jacques said.

"So, where to?"

"I would like you to go to this address." Jacques handed her the address in question. "I have some business about some… Faunus that have been roaming the city as of late."

"Will do." Maki said, driving away as it was a simple leisurely drive, but then she slammed on the gas as the limo picked up speed.

"Mmmph! Watch it, you nearly made me spill wine on my suit! Do you have somewhere to be?"

"No, sir. I just wanted to get there as fast as I can."

"Not obeying the speed limit? I ought to fire you for that! Not to mention we already missed the address, you nincompoop!"

"So sorry. Let me fix that." She casually pressed a button to close the window.

"Hey! Hey! I'm not done talking to you! I WILL have you arrested and I WILL have your wife and kids sent to the mines for this!"

I didn't even know I was married. Maki thought as she drove off the road and into the fields where she picked up the pace… and then undid her seatbelt, opened up her door while making sure to lock Jacques inside and jumped out where she watched the Limo fall off Atlas's edge.

And inside the limo, Jacques felt weightless, but was absolutely terrified. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He screamed as Maki walked over to the edge where he watched the limo fall into Mantle's pavement, where the limo exploded upon contact.

"Well, that was fun." She said as she walked off.

What If… Maki Killed Jacques the Old Fashioned Way?

Jacques leaned against the railing of his balcony, taking a sip of his drink as Maki silently landed behind him… and then karate chopped him in the back of his neck.

When Jacques came around, he felt quite uncomfortable. "Rrrgh… what…?" He wondered as he looked to see where he was.

He was on a railroad. And he was tied up.

"What in the name of…?!" Jacques wondered as he tried to break himself free, but noticed the ropes were nailed into the rails.

He heard a train whistle as he turned his head to see a bullet train heading straight for him… with no signs of slowing down either. He tried to wiggle out to try and get the train conductor's attention.

Maki, who was sitting at the driver's seat, simply got out of her seat, turned her back to Jacques as she pulled out her scroll and took a selfie while doing the peace sign.

"First day on the job as a train conductor. Pretty smooth-"

CRUUUUUUUNCH

"-If not a little bumpy. LOL!"

Maki sat back down on the seat, noticing some blood on the windows as she pressed a button as they were wiped off.

"Attention passengers: We will be arriving at Argus in exactly five minutes."

What If… Jacques Was Involved In a Plane Crash?

Jacques was sitting in a plane filled with fellow high class Atlesians. He was sitting by the window seat as a male individual sat next to him on the plane. He kept staring at his watch.

"You look like you got some place to be before you die."

"Well, Dimitri… we just barely caught our plane and we are headed for Mistral. I do not want to keep our client waiting for an exhibition. He invited me and several others for this art show."

"Aaaaah, and you feel you're gonna be late for the important date?"

"Yes… I wish this plane would go a little faster."

At that moment, the lights flickered in the cabin.

"This is your captain again, we've experienced a slight but abrupt drop in cabin pressure. As a precaution, I've released the oxygen masks-"

Oxygen masks dropped in front of everyone.

"Please put on your masks, relax, there's nothing to worry about."

"Nothing to worry about… pah… this coming from a female pilot." Jacques grumbled. "There's much to be concerned about."

"I'm sure everything's fine. Just put on your oxygen mask. I'll see what's going on."

The man, known as Dimitri, got out of his seat and went to investigate.

Out in the cockpit, the pilot, who happened to be Yor, was talking on the radio.

"Mistral Center, this is Transpact 2207-747 Heavy-" Yor turned some dials. "-We're unable to maintain cabin pressurization, we've initiated descent to one six thousand."

"Captain…" The co-pilot faintly said, wearing the oxygen mask as he slumped to the ground.

Yor casually turned the dial to ten thousand while initiating autopilot as the plane started to descend rapidly. She then ran down some stairs while taking off her pilot uniform as she joined up with Kurome while Akame tossed a parachute to Dimitri.

Back with the passengers, Jacques noticed everyone was knocked out with their oxygen masks. He was immediately starting to get worried as Dimitri returned. "It seems we have a problem, Dimitri."

Dimitri smirked. "You keep calling me Dimitri… you really shouldn't."

"You're not Dimitri…?"

BGM: Hijack (Mission Impossible II) (Start at 2:53)

"Dimitri" karate chopped Jacques' throat to knock him out and then placed him comfortably against the seat. "Nope."

"He" then got up and turned to Akame, Kurome and Yor. With a smirk, "he" grabbed his neck and tore off his mask, revealing to be none other than Maki herself.

"Alright-" Maki took off the voice chip from her neck. "Let's go."

The four opened up a hatch on the floor as they dropped down, then they put on their parachutes and one by one, they dropped out of the plane as they all watched to see the plane crash into the Mistralian Mountains.

End BGM

What If… Maki Made it Look Like an Accident?

Maki was in the SDC Mansion's kitchen, disguised as a chef as she was cooking up some food for Jacques.

As she finished, she walked out of the kitchen, but then secretly poured alcohol onto his food and then lit it up with a match.

"Aaaaaaaah!" Maki faked yelled as she ran through the building. "Flambe! We got a flambe!" She yelled.

"What's all the yelling about?" Jacques asked as he rounded the corner, only for Maki to slam into Jacques and got the flaming alcohol all over his suit. "Ack! AAAAAH!" He yelled as he ran around screaming before he fell off the balcony, hitting his head on the statue that caused a blood splatter in the process.

"Ooooh." Maki winced. "Guess he didn't like the flambe." She said as the fire sizzled, revealing charred remains.

What If… Maki Was a Tour Guide?

A brochure landed right in Jacques' lap. "Hmm?" He wondered as he picked it up.

"Congratulations! You, and only you, have been selected for a once in a lifetime experience to go on a Yoshi Safari! Just follow these instructions on where to go. A tour guide will meet you there."

"Hmm… sounds exotic. I'll see what this Yoshi Safari is like."

Later, at Yoshi's Island…

"Welcome to the Yoshi Safari! Here, you'll find all kinds of exotic fruits and animals only seen here on this island!" Maki said, dressed up as a safari tour guide.

"I must say, it's rather colorful."

"Indeed. Now let me show you the wonderful things you can experience in this safari!"

One trip to a canyon later…

"Now stay exactly right here. Some animals tend to show up only if you stand at this spot. They're very particular."

"Oh really? Well, I guess this will do. How long do I have to stand here for?"

"For as long as possible. The animals are unpredictable at best, you never know when they'll pop up. In the meantime, my shift's over so I'll have to go get another tour guide."

"Very well." Jacques nodded as Maki took off running… and then at the top of the steep cliff, she wound up a life sized Shy Guy with a stick and a fruit attached to it. She pressed a button as the Shy Guy toy ran off… and caught the attention of several dozen Yoshis as they chased after the Shy Guy.

Down below, Jacques felt the ground rumble beneath him. "Oh, is this where I'll meet the animals?" He asked as he turned his head to see the Yoshi Stampede coming his way. His eyes widened in horror as the Shy Guy ran past him as he tried to quickly make a break for it… only said spot happened to be a glue trap, where he was unable to get out.

"Oh, to heck with my shoes!" He said as he took off his shoes and started to run… only to realize the glue trap was further extended and got his socks stuck to the ground as he turned his head and whimpered, proceeding to get trampled by the large Yoshi stampede.

Maki watched with her binoculars, letting out a chuckle. "Hope they like pancakes."

What If… Maki Didn't Take Him to the Canyon?

Maki cut through some grass with Jacques following her, and then before he knew it, Maki swiftly dove into the tall grass, disappearing from view. "What…? Excuse me! Where are you?" Jacques asked as he walked around until he reached a camp site that had nothing but Spear Guys.

"Ah, some locals." Jacques said as he walked over to the camp site. "Excuse me! Have you seen where my tour guide has gone? She disappeared on me."

The Spear Guys looked at each other.

With Maki…

Maki picked some fruit off the tree, biting into it.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

Maki peeked out from some tall grass and saw the Spear Guys having turned him into a pincushion and proceeded to roast him over a spit.

"That's not exactly the healthiest meat, but whatever."

What If… Maki Assassinated Jacques Before Seryu?

Jacques ran to the top of the roof, his lower jaw having been shot off by Seryu as he found himself trapped as a helicopter approaching.

"We're live at the scene and… holy shit, is that Jacques Schnee?" The reporter asked as the door swung open to reveal Seryu. "AND IS THAT SERYU UBIQUITOUS?!"

Up on a rooftop nearby, Maki saw this through her sniper rifle. "Oh no, you don't. That's my target." She said, aiming at Jacques and pulling the trigger.

"Looks like we've attracted an audience." Seryu said, approaching Jacques… only for the sniper bullet to strike Jacques in the head to kill him. "HUH?!"

Maki pulled away, disappearing behind the edge of the roof. "Sorry Seryu, but you weren't fast enough."

What If… Maki Incited a Battle Royale?

Jacques sat in his prison cell, reading a magazine… when suddenly his jail cell opened up. "Hmm?" Jacques walked out, seeing all the other prison cells having opened up.

"Attention prisoners." Maki said from the intercom. "Today we're going to play a little game. We are going to play a Battle Royale. The last person alive will walk away free. Anything can be used as a weapon. Oh, and if you really want motivation, there is a ten thousand coin bounty on a certain Jacques Schnee."

"WHAT?!"

"If you kill him, you get the coins, but then the bounty will be on your head, which will then cause you to be the target, but, eh, semantics. Have fun~!"

At that moment, all prisoners turned their sights on Jacques, causing him to pale. He turned around, only to see his cell door close up compared to the rest.

"MAKE HIM SCREAM LIKE A LITTLE GIRL!" A Monty Mole yelled.

"I'll take his manhood!" A Faunus exclaimed.

Maki watched from the screens as she watched Jacques scream as he tried to get away, only to get beaten by a bloody pulp until a Sumo Bro dropped an anvil on his head, blood splattering everywhere.

"Ooooh!" Maki winced with a smirk. "Talk about cartoonish." She giggled as she then watched the prison riot unfold as she casually walked out with a hum.

"Well, all of this was fun… now let's wrap up with a little extra humor!" Hades smirked.

What If… Maki Poisoned the Wrong Target?

"Hmhmhmhm~" Maki hummed as she put some poison into a wine bottle and shook it up. She disappeared into the shadows, only to see Willow walking in and taking the wine bottle.

WHAT?! Maki thought in horror.

"What a day… to hell with that husband of mine." Willow mumbled as she took a swig.

No no no no no! Maki thought as she watched Willow collapse. "Aaaah… dammit."

Meanwhile, in the other universes…

The Makis returned to their homes, opening up their computers and saw an email.

"I must say, your expertise is quite… unorthodox, but what's done is done. I chose well to ask the Ultimate Assassin for help. Here is your reward."

"...Holy shit, ten million Lien?!"

In the universe where Yor crashed the plane…

"Soooo, you're gonna split that up, right?" Kurome asked.

"O-Oh, yeah, of course!" Maki chuckled.

"And that's all for now. Until next time!"

Originally, it was just going to be Maki killing Jacques before Seryu story, but then I got more ideas over this and I went "Oh, heck with it, why don't we just do a montage just like we did with Dark Ruby?"

Ibuki: *cackles* Love it!

Deadpool: Poor Willow, though...

Yeah... oh, by the way, there's a poll on my wall for you to look at!
