SCENE: DMC 3 DANTE VS VERGIL FIRST FIGHT
CAST:
DANTE: JAUNE ARC
VERGIL: ADAM TAURUS
LADY: RUBY ROSE
ARKHAM: ARTHUR WATTS
Tensions were still a bit high in the theater as everyone went into their respective seats. Though Oz and Salem's inner circle were still thinking about what the god said on having the four boys' role in deciding the future of Remnant.
The Rose-Xiao Long family all shared a group hug and sat together, with Ruby and Yang filling in their parents on the crazy stuff they've been through so far.
Blake sat with her parents, Sun and Ilia. Blake was a bit worried about the monkey faunus as he was quieter than usual. But she couldn't really blame him given what they had learnt.
Adam and Raven sat away from everyone else, though Raven couldn't help but give sad and envious looks towards her former family. It was clear she wanted to form a connection with them, but Qrow and Yang made it pretty clear that she wasn't welcome after the stunt back at Haven.
Adam held a stoic expression, but he had conflicting emotions inside him. He felt this odd sense of familiarity towards Arc and Wukong but didn't know why. He then felt a pair of eyes watching him and turned to see it was Salem who looked at him curiously. Adam was a bit weirded out and quickly turned away.
Cinder, Emerald and Mercury sat together. They were content with just finding out as much information as possible on the good guys. Though Merc was itching for a rematch with Yang after she punched off his legs back at Haven. Emerald couldn't help but glare at Raven, the woman who almost took Cinder away from her. But she sighed, just happy Cinder was back with her.
Team JONR sat together in the middle row and were pretty normal all things considered, though Jaune couldn't help but throw the occasional glare to Cinder and Oscar also took a few glances at his uncle.
Hazel, who sat next to Salem and Tyrian noticed the glances Oscar was sending him and he sighed. In truth, he didn't want Oscar here at all he was supposed to be at home helping his aunt on the farm. Not getting caught up in this crazy war between Oz and Salem.
Roman and Neo sat together away from everyone. The two didn't really care about the drama that was going on and decided to stay hidden, especially from Cinder's group.
Ironwood, Winter and Weiss all sat together. Truth be told, the two were still a bit suspicious about what was going on but they really could use a break and the watcher did say that he stopped time in their world so they won't have to worry about any criminals getting loose.
Just then Agnus appeared in front of the theater startling a few of the cast. "Phew, that world took longer to get than expected." He muttered before turning to his audience.
"Alright everyone are you ready?" Agnus asked with a grin.
Majority of the cast nodded, with some (mostly the younger ones) having excited looks on their faces. While others just held stoic expressions and didn't really seem to care about this.
Agnus then snapped his hands and in the laps of all the guests, appeared all kinds of snacks. These ranged from popcorn, hotdogs, nachos and cheese, marsh mellows etc.
Everyone looked shocked at what just happened and then they all looked towards the watcher. "What? Did you really think I'd let you guys stay here without giving you food?" He asked and they all just shrugged, still not really sure how this guy operates.
"Well I'm definitely staying here now." Roman said as he ate a hotdog.
"It has become much more enjoyable now." Oz said taking a sip from his mug. Happy to finally have his hot cocoa again.
Salem shook her head, 'Even after all these centuries you're still a cocoa addict.'
"Alright so like I said earlier, we're gonna be looking at worlds focused on these four." Agnus said as spotlights appeared on Jaune, Sun, Oscar and Adam. "So before we begin, does anyone have any questions?" The watcher asked.
"Oh! Oh!" Nora raised her hand really high, "Yes destroyer of legs." Agnus responded with a smirk while some chuckled.
"What are we gonna be watching?"
"Well I won't just tell you, where's the fun in that? Let's just say that this world is so badass and manly that even a Grimm may cry." He said while everyone looked confused.
"Um Mr. Agnus, Grimm can't cry." Ruby said a bit shyly.
"Oh I know Ruby, it's just a figure of speech." Agnus stated, "And please just call me Agnus, saying my name like that makes me feel old."
The watcher then pulled out a remote and pressed play and the screen began to light up as the room began to darken.
The scene started off with Jaune who appeared to be walking up some stairs. He was wearing a red coat without any shirt exposing his six pac, he had black fingerless gloves, long tan-colored pants and had Crocea Mors strapped on his back.
"Damn Jauney, you hiding something from us?" Yang teased with a grin as she took in the fanservice he was providing.
Jaune blushed a bit and looked at his counterpart, he didn't have a big six pac like him...but he was getting there. No one could say he was still as scrawny as he was at beacon.
"Dude! Now we can be muscle bros!" Sun said throwing an arm around Jaune's neck as he smiled at his friend.
"I'm digging the coat there kid, you almost look as stylish as me...almost." Roman said with a smirk.
Ruby blushed and covered herself with her hood. She had been reading some of Blake's books and has discovered some things about herself recently.
'Why do I feel like I should be worried about the blonde kid?' Tai and Qrow thought at the same time.
Jaune then stopped in his tracks and let out a sigh, as he held out his hand. Suddenly a red blur came barreling down the stairs leaving a trail of Rose petals, though Jaune managed to grab said blur revealing it to be non other than Ruby Rose. She was wearing her V7 outfit and had her long hair tied into a pony tail and had crescent rose strapped to her side. Though despite being an older Ruby, she was still short as evident when Jaune grabbed her by the back of her collar and lifted her off the ground.
"EEEEH! You look so beautiful my little petal!" Summer gushed, literally glomping her daughter.
"I'm...I'm...I'm...still short!" Ruby shouted with a pout and a small blush as to how that Jaune was manhandling her.
"Oh come on Rubes, it isn't so bad." Yang said trying to comfort her sister.
"Yes it is! I've been drinking milk for all these years and nothing's changed!"
"Ruby, we talked about this. Drinking milk alone doesn't make you taller." Weiss said with a sigh.
Mercury and Emerald snickered at the Rose brat's rant.
"Hey there honey." Jaune said to his wife.
At that moment, gasps were heard throughout the theater and a certain Knight and Rose were blushing quite furiously.
"YES! OPERATION LANCASTER IS A SUCCESS!" Nora exclaimed with joy as Ren sighed.
"Lancaster?!" Jaune questioned looking at Nora with a shocked expression.
"Yep, it's the couple name I came up for you and Ruby." She explained non-chalantly.
"You gave us a couple name?!" Ruby shouted.
"Yes, she tends to do that when she gets bored." Ren explained as Nora simply giggled.
"So sis...there something you want to say?" Yang teased as Ruby blushed even more.
"Honestly I'm not surprised, if wasn't between Jaune and Pyrrha, then it was gonna be Jaune and Ruby." Blake admitted.
"What about me?" Weiss asked.
Blake gave her a look that said 'Really woman.' and Weiss winced.
'I really should apologize to him.'
Jaune just blushed, but looked on a bit sadly, 'Ruby deserves someone better to be honest. I'm still too weak and I don't want her to have to give her life to protect me.' He thought to himself thinking of Pyrrha.
"Ah young love isn't it beautiful?" Kali asked her husband who couldn't help but agree.
"He seems like a nice boy from the letters Ruby sent...but if he breaks her heart...there'll be hell to pay." Summer threatened.
"They won't ever find his body." Tai agreed as well.
"Geeze you two chill." Qrow said trying to calm down his teammates.
"Jaune?! W-What are you doing here?" She questioned still dangling off the ground, "Also put me down! It's embarrassing!" She demanded and with an eye roll Jaune eased her down on the ground. "The better question is why are YOU here?" He asked and his tone held no arguments.
Ruby held his gaze, "It's...for personal reasons." she said and Jaune sighed, "Ruby, whatever it is I'm sure it isn't worth it for you to risk not only your life, but the life of our son!" Jaune exclaimed and Ruby looked down and the camera panned to show her very pregnant belly.
Upon seeing this, Ruby got a nosebleed and fainted, luckily Yang was right there to catch her. Meanwhile with Jaune he blushed so hard that steam was coming out of his head.
Nora was once again cheering like she just won the lottery, "RENNY! JAUNE AND RUBY ARE ABOUT TO HAVE A MINI FEARLESS LEADER!" She shouted shaking Ren uncontrollably.
Luckily Oscar was there to help the ninja boy out in his predicament.
"GRANDBABIES! TAI WE'RE GONNA GET SOME GRANDBABIES!" Summer shouted in a similar manner to Nora grabbing her husband in a tight hug.
"*Ahem*." Everyone turned to Roman, "First off Red, Blondie congrats on making another little brat. But are you idiots forgetting the fact that Red's still an active huntress." The thief pointed out.
'Even I know when to call it quits.' Neo signed and she loved her job.
Ruby who had just woken up, began to wish she fainted again, "OW! OW! MOM NOT THE EAR!" Ruby cried out as Summer had her ear in an iron grip.
"Young Lady you are so grounded!" She shouted angrily at her daughter.
"What?! But it wasn't me, it was my other self! And besides dad said you used to go on missions while you were pregnant with me!" Ruby shot back and Summer let go of her daughter's ear and looked away with a blush.
"But what your mother didn't say was how she would get the scolding of a life time from me whenever she came home." Tai said with a smirk looking at Summer who blushed even more.
"I know but Jaune, I have to do this please." She pleaded, "And besides my mom used to go on missions while she was pregnant with me." Ruby threw in as well. Jaune gave a tired sigh, "Ruby, you're still treating this like a normal pregnancy when it's not." Jaune insisted and at that Ruby once again looked away.
"Wait? What does that mean?" Oscar questioned and didn't seem to get an answer as everyone else was just as confused as well.
The Rose-Xiao Long family were more worried about Ruby now, because of what Jaune had said.
Jaune stared at his other self, trying to figure out what he meant.
Salem frowned, feeling that the pregnancy wasn't normal because the child most likely would have silver eyes. She would have to kill the rose girl and her mother to stop them from producing more spawns that would give her trouble.
Before Jaune could continue his scolding, Ruby quickly grabbed his collar and pulled him into a long passionate kiss. The two stayed like that for at least two minutes before in a flash of petals Ruby took off leaving a stunned and flushed Jaune who was still panting. Once he came to he growled in annoyance. "Damn it...she used her sexiness to distract me." He said before he smirked, "Fine then, if that's how you wanna play it craterface then don't expect to get any sleep tonight." Jaune declared as he continued to walk up the stairs.
Ruby once again turned bright red at Jaune's declaration and Yang's chuckling didn't really help as well, "Damn VB you're bold." She grinned at the blonde who gave a small blush but then looked at Ruby with a deadpan expression.
"Really Rubes after everything my other just said." He told her and this caused the red reaper to cover her head with her hood in embarrassment.
As Jaune made his way to the top of the tower, thunder boomed into the night, lightning crackled and the rain began to fall. The huntsman stared at the other edge of the tower and saw a familiar rose insignia on the back of a black jacket. He also saw the familiar red hair and bull horns. With a deep breath Jaune walked to the middle of the tower, alerting the other figure of his appearance.
"You showed up." Adam said glancing at Jaune with his blue eye.
"Adam?!" Blake questioned in shock, now she grew worried for this Jaune.
Yang was also in that same boat as well, remembering how Adam manhandled her at the Fall of Beacon and cut off her arm.
"Bullboy I swear if you hurt a hair on his head..." Yang threatened turning to glare at Adam.
"What? I'm not even doing anything to the guy. He's literally in the row in front of you." Adam stated pointing at Jaune who gave Yang a sheepish wave.
Jaune scoffed, "You sure know how to throw are party. No food, no drinks and the only babe just left." He said, annoyance clear in his voice as Adam turned around to face him, showing that he had two normal eyes.
"My sincerest apologies brother. I was so eager to see you that I couldn't concentrate on preparations for the 'bash'." Adam said with sarcasm clear in his voice.
"BROTHER?!" Jaune and Adam shouted at the same time in disbelief.
"You mean I'm related to this blonde buffoon?!" Adam said in outrage as he pointed towards Jaune.
"Hey! I'm not exactly over the moon for this idea either." He growled glaring at Adam who glared back at him.
Ruby decided to take this time to ask a question, "Um...Agnus are that version of Jaune and Adam half-siblings like Yang and I?"
"Why yes actually. Jaune's father first married Adam's mom, but she died shortly after he was born. Then five years later Mr. Arc fell in love with Jaune's mother and eventually birthed him." Agnus explained.
"Hah! Looks like I'm the older one 'little brother'." Adam teased causing Jaune to growl at him.
"Woah there bucko! I'm Jaune's honorary big bro!" Sun declared wrapping an arm around his fellow blonde.
"Sun... we're the same age!"
"Shush little bro...the adults are talking." Sun insisted causing the three to argue again.
'They really do act like siblings.' Was the general thought among the crowd.
Salem and Oz couldn't help but think back to how their daughters used to argue for things like who's the oldest and whatnot.
Jaune shrugged, "Either way, it's been a whole year since we last met. How about a kiss from your baby brother?" Jaune asked with a smirk as his hand reached inside his coat, "Or better yet...How about a kiss from this?" Jaune questioned pulling out a handgun that had the engravings 'Ebony' on the side.
The playful mood from before was gone as the reality of the situation had finally began to set in.
"Are they planning on fighting to the death?!" Ruby exclaimed with shock and worry, she would've made a comment on Jaune using guns but decided that could wait.
"Yeah," Agnus shrugged, "Surprised it took you guys so long to notice."
"But...the family?" Yang muttered, she was a little freaked out imagining her and Ruby in that position.
Agnus stared at her before pointing at both Qrow and Raven who both just shrugged and gave the sunny dragon knowing looks.
"Okay point taken."
Jaune wasn't sure if to root for his other self anymore, after all an Arc isn't supposed to intentionally cause harm to their family.
Adam on the other was more concerned on the fact that his other self didn't have the brand mark on his eye. He wondered if that version actually had a decent life to not be captured and abused. He was also curious to see his other self's skill in battle.
Likewise both Oz and Salem's groups were interested in this battle between brothers.
The two said nothing for a while as Jaune kept his gun pointed at Adam. The lightning crackled loudly once again as Jaune spoke up, "So...this is what they call a heartwarming family reunion eh?" Jaune rhetorically asked.
Adam gave a small chuckle, "...You got that right." He said quickly unsheathing Wilt from it's scabbard and running towards Jaune at top speed. The huntsman quickly fired Ebony over and over at the Faunus who managed to deflect each bullet with his blade. Adam then quickly flipped over Jaune and intended to slice his back, but the blonde jumped forward into a roll avoiding the blade. He then pulled out his other handgun, this one called 'Ivory', Jaune fired them both at Adam, spun his blade around, catching the bullets and launching them in the air. With a mighty swing, he hit the bullets back at his brother, but instead of dodging, Jaune just simply fired more bullets to stop the oncoming ones. Though Adam took advantage of that opening and ran up to Jaune with the intent on sweeping his legs, however the huntsman back flipped into the air to avoid it. Jaune then holstered his guns and finally unsheathed Crocea Mors from his back and attempted to bring the blade down on his older brothers head. Unfortunately, Adam brought up Wilt to block the attack, the force was so powerful it created a shockwave and the ground beneath Adam's feet cracked a bit.
"Their skill and raw power." Winter muttered in awe, she was thoroughly impressed with both of them.
"They might even give you a tough time eh Qrow?" Ironwood suggested.
"They would probably give me some trouble." Qrow said stroking his chin.
"So would you lose?" Ruby asked.
"Nah, I'd win." Qrow grinned, despite their impressive skill, he had them beat in experience and thanks to his damn semblance.
"DID YOU SEE HOW HE USED THE BULLETS LIKE A BASEBALL?!" Nora shouted in amazement, she hadn't seen anything like that.
"I KNOW AND JAUNE JUST DECIDED TO SHOOT THEM OUT THE AIR! AN ABSOLUTE MADLAD I TELL YOU!" Sun exclaimed.
Adam was impressed with his other self, though he noted that his version was much flashy and dramatic with his attacks.
Jaune was also amazed at his other self, however he looked down a bit sadly thinking that he might never reach that level.
Blake then asked, "Did Adam join the White Fang in this universe?"
"Actually no, he instead became a mercenary and was willing to take any job as long as it paid well." Agnus explained, shocking the Belladonnas and Ilia since they knew how passionate the bull was about the Fang
Adam quickly pushed Jaune off him and the blonde flew back a few feet away from the bull. Jaune quickly recovered and charged at Adam, once again bringing his blade down on Adam's head, but the elder brother side-stepped it with ease. The huntsman quickly spun around to launch a follow up attack and the two brothers' blades clashed as sparks flew. Jaune then went for a stab which Adam parried and aimed to slice the blonde's throat, however Jaune bent backwards avoiding the blade and then used his right foot to kick Wilt into the air. Adam thinking quickly jumped into the air after the blade and performed a bicycle kick to the hilt of the sword sending it skyrocketing towards Jaune's head.
They younger brother quickly tilted his head to avoid it skewering him, but that opening was all Adam needed to land a devastating axe kick right on top of Jaune's head. While the blonde was stunned, Adam quickly followed up with a flurry of kicks hitting Jaune's head and his stomach. Adam then landed one last kick straight to Jaune's jaw sending him skidding back a great distance, the huntsman wiped some blood from his mouth as he breathed heavily, glaring at Adam. The bull faunus simply walked over and picked back up Wilt which was embedded into the ground, "Come now brother... where's your motivation?" Adam taunted with a smirk watching Jaune' glare harden.
"Motivation...I'll show you motivation." Jaune growled sheathing Crocea and reaching into his coat and pulling out a blue triparite nunchaku. Adam didn't seem fazed and charged at Jaune once again, not noticing his brother's smirk. "Freeze!" Jaune shouted slamming the weapon into the ground as a group of ice stalagmites shot out at Adam.
"Nunchucks infused with ice dust?! So cool!" Ruby shouted with stars in her eyes, her weapon nerd side coming out.
'Hmmm, that reminds me a bit of Neon's weapon.' James thought to himself.
Adam growled a bit at the amount of weapons that version of Jaune had, 'If only my other self had Blush then he wouldn't need to be moving in close range.'
"Huh? Maybe I should do that." Sun thought aloud thinking of his own weapon.
Adam back flipped away as to not get punctured by the sharp pieces of ice. Once he regained his footing he noticed that the ice formed a sort of barrier around him, with a sigh Adam quickly prepared to cut down the ice barrier to get to Jaune. However Jaune broke through the barrier behind Adam and the bull quickly spun around to slash his adversary, however Jaune used the nunchaku to block Wilt before aiming a kick to the back of Adam's knee causing him to lose balance. Jaune then followed up with a series of blows from the nunchaku on Adam's chest, his legs and his face, once the huntsman was finished with his stylish combo, he then hit a painful one-inch punch straight to Adam's chest sending him crashing through the ice barrier.
Adam coughed up some blood and spit but quickly wiped it away to glare at Jaune, the blonde then picked up a large chunk of ice and threw it at Adam. Thanks to his quick reflexes Adam was able to slice the ice in two but that left him vulnerable to Jaune who swung Crocea Mors at Adam's side. But Adam quickly put Wilt in between the blade and his flesh to block the attack, however the force was so strong that it sent him flying to the edge of the tower.
Adam stopped himself from fully going over the edge, but noticed that Jaune wasn't giving him any time to breathe. Though just as Jaune got in close, Adam gave him a wide grin, "Predictable as always!" He shouted and then four ethereal looking red blades stabbed Jaune right in the back. "Gah!" Jaune screamed in pain as the blades disappeared leaving bloody holes in Jaune's coat. Without wasting time Adam swept his leg leaving the huntsman in the air before dashing across the tower slashing his sword as multiple red beams of light appeared around Jaune.
"Rest in peace." Adam said before sheathing his blade as the beams of light all closed in on Jaune as an explosion of blood erupted from his body, sending him flying off the tower and to the ground below.
"JAUNE!" His friends and allies called out in worry for him, with Nora even pulling him into a koala hug.
"Welp he's dead." Roman said taking a puff from his cigar as Neo elbowed him in the side.
"Since when could you do that?!" Mercury exclaimed.
"Since never...my semblance is different from my other self." Adam said to the assassin.
Salem smirked, thinking that the Adam on screen would prove to be a valuable asset.
Agnus snorted, 'Yeah right, that one hates your guts.'
As Jaune was falling, he managed to use Crocea and stab it into the side of the tower stopping himself. He jumped up on the hilt of the blade and stared at the top of the tower where Adam was, only to see the bull looking down on him with a condescending smirk. The blonde growled and then he began running up the tower, just as Adam summoned more swords and launched them down at Jaune. The huntsman dodged and swerved out of the way still continued his run upward, Adam then sliced a nearby statue and let it fall towards Jaune. The Arc smirked and pulled out Ebony and fired upon the statue destroying it, he then super jumped to the top of the tower with both his guns drawn once again and rained fire. Adam tried his best to block all the bullets but a few caught him in his shoulders and legs.
Jaune landed in a super hero position and stared up at Adam, both boys breathing heavily. "Why do you refuse to gain power? The power of our father Arc." Adam questioned as Jaune looked up at him, "I'll do you one better. Why do you want to gain the power of someone who wasn't there for us when we needed him?" Jaune asked and Adam glared at him.
"Someone's got daddy issues." Merc grinned.
"You're honestly the last person who should be talking about that." Emerald declared and Mercury rolled his eyes at her.
Jaune winced, he honestly hadn't called home in a while and knew that his parents were probably worried sick about him.
Adam didn't know how to feel, since he never knew his father as he died while Adam was still a baby and only had to go off what his mother told him.
Neither combatant said anything for a few seconds before they both ran at each other and met in the middle of the tower clashing steel once again. They were both locked in a fierce deadlock and neither was giving an inch, that was until with the flick of the wrist Adam threw Crocea from Jaune's hand and then quickly followed up by stabbing the the blonde straight through the stomach.
"Oh shit!" Roman coughed, he honestly wasn't expecting that.
"Jaune!" Ruby screamed in worry. Nora held on tighter to her Jaune.
Ren himself looked pale and was trying to use his semblance to calm himself down.
"Yes! I was waiting for one to die!" Tyrian exclaimed with glee ignoring the glares he received.
"Damn it." Qrow cursed, he actually started to like the kid and to see something happen to another version of the blonde sucked.
"Foolishness, Jaune." Adam whispered before driving Wilt further into his stomach, causing Jaune to cough up blood. "Foolishness. You claim you want to protect your friends, but yet you fail to understand that might controls everything. Without it you can't protect anything...let alone yourself." Adam told him before kicking the blonde off his sword as blood sprayed from the wound. As Jaune was falling Adam grabbed the amulet around his neck and when Jaune raised his hand to stop him, Adam sliced his palm.
Jaune fell to the ground with a thud and was groaning in pain, Adam stared at him before turning around and walking towards Crocea Mors. Jaune then slowly started to get up as the wound in his stomach started to close very slowly but Adam blitzed him, running Crocea through Jaune's chest pinning the huntsman to the ground.
"Monty Oum! He's had enough!" Tai exclaimed a bit shocked at the brutality.
Ruby turned to Adam with a glare and had tears streaming down her face, "You murdered my husband and left my child without a father!"
Normally Yang would have teased Ruby about her declaration but she was too pissed off as well, "You guys are supposed to be brothers and you KILLED HIM?!" She shouted with red eyes.
Adam, seeing that things were getting heated quickly spoke, "First off, may I remind you that your Arc is fine." He said once again pointing at Jaune who was being koala hugged by Nora. "Secondly while that version of us are brothers, I bare no relation to Arc." Adam said and for some reason both Oz and Salem sneezed at the same time. "And lastly, Jaune tried to kill me too you know. Both of us probably knew that the other was going to die and it just so happened that, that version of the blonde idiot was unlucky." The bull faunus explained and the two sisters calmed down but still threw occasional glares at him.
Jaune placed a hand on both their shoulders for comfort and to let them know he was still here, "I may risk my life in battle, but I'm not gonna just throw it away." He stated.
Cinder smirked, eating more popcorn as she watched the blonde buffoon get what he deserved.
Raven nodded in agreement with what Adam in the audience and the one on screen said, 'He would make a valuable member of the tribe.'
Adam stared at his little brother's lifeless form, a look of guilt flashing on his face before he hardened it. He pocketed the amulet, as a familiar older man appeared behind him.
"Do you have it?" Watts asked as Adam breathed a sigh before turning around.
"Yes. Now the spell that Arc cast can be broken." Adam informed the man walking away from Jaune's body and past Watts.
Watts himself threw a glance at the huntsman before turning around and following Adam. The camera then focused back on Jaune's body as his eyes were covered in shadow and a large pool of blood was forming underneath his body. It then focused on his hand, the one Adam sliced and in a blink and you'll miss it moment his fingers twitched. Then two red lights glowed from where Jaune's eyes were and Crocea Mors flew from his chest and landed a few feet away. Hearing the noise, Adam and Watts turned around to see Jaune charging toward them fist reeled back. Adam brought up Wilt and impaled Jaune's fist stopping it, however Jaune fought through pushing his hand even further as he tried to strangle Adam.
"What the hell?!" Roman spluttered in shock.
"He's alive!" Nora exclaimed happily as she finally let Jaune go, he took in a gulp of air.
"Yeah but he looks different..." Oscar muttered.
"Like an animal." Ren said.
Ironwood and Winter looked on in anger, they both had a sneaking suspicion Watts was alive and was the one who gave Cinder the virus which hacked the robots.
Adam stared at the feral Jaune, with an impassive expression until Jaune looked up to glare at him and instead of the ocean blue eyes he had come to know, Jaune's eyes were instead that of a Grimm. At that Adam smirked, "It seems a Grimm inside you has awakened as well." He said as Jaune grabbed Wilt and launched the bull a good distance away. Adam landed on his feet and was ready to get back into the fight, "WAIT!" He heard Watts from behind him, "We should leave, after all we have all that we need." Watts insisted. Adam then reluctantly sheathed Wilt before turning around and walking off with Watts.
Jaune looked at them walk away as he tried to follow, but his movements were slow and fatigued. The wound where he got stabbed was still opened, though this time it had a yellow glow coming from it. Jaune grabbed his head as he started making animalistic snarls and growls, he then let out a scream as a blinding yellow light enveloped his body and when it disappeared…A Grimm was in it's place (Basically Dante's actual Devil Trigger from DMC 3)
The Grimm let out an ear piercing roar before just as quickly as it appeared, the form changed back to Jaune still screaming. He then fell to his knees as the blonde looked up to the sky with an emotionless expression, before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he collapsed face first on to the ground unconscious.
SCENE END
The theater was deathly silent, as everyone was still trying to process what they just saw.
"Was...was that thing...me?" Jaune asked, breaking the silence.
"Yes...yes it was." Agnus nodded back at the boy.
"But what happened to him?" Nora questioned.
"He turned into a Grimm." Oz said causing everyone to turn to him, "As crazy as it sounds, Mr. Arc turned into a Grimm." He repeated, though this time a bit sadly.
"Yeah, but how does getting stabbed turn VB into...that?" Yang demanded, a bit shaken up by the transformation.
"Well...in that universe, both Jaune and Adam are part Grimm." Agnus said prompting the two boys to look at him.
"Your father was a Grimm and when he impregnated both your mothers, you two had both human/faunus blood and Grimm blood inside of you. Thereby making you both hybrids." Agnus explained, shocking the audience.
"Hold on a second. You said the boys' father was a Grimm, but those beasts are incapable of feeling anything, let alone love." Ironwood said.
"I'll explain it later, for now just sit back as I put on another world for you guys." Agnus insisted and reluctantly they all saved their questions for later.
CHAPTER END
