Jaune Arc Multiverse: The reaction.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything. All properties belong to their respective owners. Please support the original release.
A/N: There is a story called Grand Arc Return written by General Jaguar on . This story is pretty about Jaune getting kidnapped by Mew and transported to the world of Pokemon and then he heads to Earth in the marvel universe and finally goes back to Remnant. Where he has tech from Earth and Pokemon with him by his side. The author gave me permission to post his story on this reaction story. That was the original idea until he gave the reins to an author named Shadow Condor because of a troll that was bothering him. Condor then messaged them about it and that deal shifted to Condor and I was going to put his version of the story on my reaction story. Then unfortunately personal issues for me arised and I had to step away for a little while. When that problem got resolved, barely mind you, I got a message from Condor that General Jaguar took the story back and then got another message that Jaguar gave the story to another author named BatmanZetto. So Zetto's story will be the one posted here unless otherwise. Also be on the lookout for a user named Jaunelover, because they have been harassing people by posting negative comments on their stories.
Anyways, stay safe. Arcanus out.
Chapter 10: Intermission.
As the members of the audience left the theater room, they were surprised to see a giant Hall with smaller rooms inside. Each of the entrances to said rooms were marked with a different label. Such as; Library, Game Room, Armory, Gun Range, Kitchen, Cafeteria, Living Room, Relic Room, Restroom, and so on. They all looked at one another and decided to split up and see what this place had to offer. Though most of the adults went with their children to discuss some things. The only ones that didn't join them were Ozpin and Glynda as they stayed back to discuss what to do next.
XIAO-LONG/ROSE FAMILY
The family of five were currently in a little bakery, sitting at one of the tables. Yang and Ruby were currently catching Summer up on what she had missed when she was dead. Needless to say she was surprised by the adventures her daughters had.
"Wow, mutated Grimm?" Summer asked.
"Yeah, this guy called Dr. Merlot wanted to evolve and control Grimm for the 'betterment of mankind.'" Yang said as she took a bite out of a cupcake.
"Though we did manage to kick his butt in the end." Ruby added as she ate from her large plate of cookies.
"Well that's good to hear." Summer said with a proud smile.
"That's our little Rose and Dragon for you." Tai said with a smile as he ruffled the girls' hair. Much to said girls' annoyance.
Summer giggled lightly, though mentally she sighed in sadness. So many years of their lives she had missed out on. All because she went on one last mission with Raven.
The older Rose woman decided to change the subject. "So Ruby, tell me, how do you feel towards Jaune?" She asked.
Ruby's face immediately turned red when she heard her mother's question. The young reaper didn't know how to answer that. She simply looked down to her lap and started fidgeting the edges of her skirt.
"Summer!" Tai and Qrow cried out in outrage.
"Oh mom." Yang pinched the bridge of her nose as she groaned. She had calmed down from her earlier outburst but she still didn't like to hear it. Even if it was fun to tease Ruby about it.
"What? I'm entitled to know my daughter's love life." Summer argued before pointing at Tai and Qrow. "And in case I need to remind you two of Johnny's words, Ruby is fifteen. She's old enough to make her own choices."
At her words, Tai and Qrow couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably at the mention of the elder Arc male.
Yang then spoke up. "Y'know, while we're on that subject, how do you know Vomit Boy's dad?" The blonde brawler was very curious on how her parents and uncle knew Jaune's father.
"That's simple, firecracker, we went to Beacon together." Qrow answered his niece.
"Really?" Ruby asked in surprise.
Tai nodded. "He was on our sister team, Team JJAG. Consistenting of Jonathan, his brother Jason, his sister Amelia, and Glynda."
"Wait, Professor Goodwitch was on the same team as Vomit Boy Sr?" Yang asked.
"Yup." Tai answered.
"They were known as the blonde bruisers of Beacon. Though that title mostly fitted Johnny, Jay, and Amy." Summer told the two girls.
"Who were also known as the Yellow Demonic Trio of Beacon." Qrow added in, causing him, Tai, and Summer to shiver in fear.
"Why'd they call them that?" Ruby asked.
"Remember what Johnny did earlier?" Qrow asked.
Yang and Ruby nodded as a shiver crawled up their spines. The memory of Jonathan Arc's malicious aura came to mind.
"Yeah." They both replied.
"Imagine that but times a thousand." Qrow's statement made Ruby and Yang go pale with fear.
"That was our reaction too." Tai commented on his daughters' expressions. Summer nodded as well, as she also had terrible memories of the yellow demonic trio. The brutal one-sided beatdown that Amy gave to Raven came to mind.
'Though, I personally think their older sister Slyver is way scarier than those three combined.' Summer thought to herself.
"Anyways…." Summer began, causing her family to turn to her. "Back on topic, I am curious about your feelings towards Jaune Arc, Ruby and the same goes for you too, Yang."
The two sisters looked at one another before turning back to Summer and gave the older Rose their answers. With Ruby starting the conversation.
"Well, to be honest, Jaune was really the first friend I made at Beacon. He and I share the same interests like comics and stuff. He also understands some of the struggles I go through as team leader as he's one as well. Even outside of that, he makes sure that I'm alright and is always there for me, no matter what. He's the greatest friend I could ever ask for." Ruby gave her explanation to her mother.
Summer nodded at that. She then turned to Yang.
"I'll be honest, when I first met Jaune I didn't have the highest opinion of him. He's scrawny, lanky, clumsy, and unskillful when it comes to fighting." Yang began, earning slight judgemental and disappointed gazes from Her parents and uncle. "But over time, I've learned that he's an alright guy. Sure he's dorky but that's what adds to his charm. He is willing to do the right thing no matter what, and that makes him okay in my book." Yang finished with a small smile.
Summer, Tai, and Qrow smiled at the girl's explanation. They were happy that Ruby and Yang are growing up to be great people.
BELLADONNA FAMILY
Blake fidgeted slightly as she sat across from her parents in a small lounge area. The cat Faunus avoided looking at her parents in the eyes out of shame. Shame of herself and her past actions.
"Blake." She heard her mother call out to her but she did not turn to face her.
Kali sighed softly before she scooted closer to her daughter. "Blake, sweetie. Look at me." She said as she softly grabbed Blake's hands with one hand and gently turned her head with the other. "Why are so sad Kitten?" Kali asked.
"I…I…" Blake began before stopping. She had no idea what to say to them after so long. She eventually found her voice. "I thought you'd be angry with me."
Kali and Ghira were surprised by their daughter's words.
"Why would we be angry with you?" Kali asked.
"Because I ran away from home, and because…because I called you cowards for when you stepped down from the White Fang." Blake said.
Ghira then sat next to Blake and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Blake, you are our daughter. We will always love you no matter what. Yes, we were upset when you left but we were never angry with you." He said.
Blake looked up to her father and gave him a smile before she embraced him in a hug. Ghira smiled back as he returned the hug with Kali joining in soon after.
They eventually broke the hug. The three of them sat in silence before Kali spoke up.
"Sooo, this is quite an interesting situation. All of us are being brought here to watch alternate versions of your friend Blake." Kali said.
"Yeah, never thought that Jonathan's son would've had such an impact." Ghira said before adding. "Then again the Arc family tends to pull off some crazy feats."
Blake giggled softly at this, as she brushed a strand of hair behind her human ears. "Yeah, this was something that I never expected to happen at all." She replied.
Ghira and Kali chuckled in response.
"So Blake, when are you going to stake your claim at Jonathan's son." Kali suddenly asked, causing Blake to blush brightly and Ghira to sputter.
"K-Kali!" Ghira cried out.
"What? It's obvious that our daughter has feelings for him. She may have tried to hide it but I know a girl with a crush when I see one." Kali replied.
Blake simply looked at her mother. "That obvious, huh?" She said, not even bothering to hide her feelings anymore.
"Yup." Kali responded. She then got closer to her daughter. "So, tell me, how did this all start?"
Blake looked at Kali and began to explain when she started developing feelings for Jaune. "A while ago, I was in a bad place, I was trying to come to terms that the White Fang was no longer as it was before." Kali and Ghira couldn't help but feel sympathetic to their daughter. They took felt pained when they saw the organization they founded became so pervsersed. "I was on the roof, thinking about what to do when Jaune walked in. He greeted me but I didn't say anything back. He then sat next to me, started to strike up a conversation about the moon and what it would've looked like not shattered. Admittedly, I responded rudely as to why he wanted to talk to me as we never hung out much prior. He responded that he didn't want to see one of his friends look so sad.
After that, we sat together for a little while before he surprised me by asking why I hid my ears with a bow." Blake let out a brief chuckle. "I tried to deny it but he replied that he already knew of my Faunus heritage, so I asked him how he knew. He replied, "It was kinda obvious, the way my bow twitched every so often, and my taste for fish." I asked him why he didn't say anything if he knew I was a Faunus, he told me that it wasn't his right to say anything. That he didn't say anything out of respect for my privacy. Next thing I know we ended up spending the next few hours talking and then something just clicked in me. A feeling that I never thought I'd feel again after Adam. Love."
Kali smiled in response while Ghira simply sighed. While he wasn't exactly happy that his daughter was interested in boys, Ghira knew he couldn't do anything about it. It was Blake's life after all, and he would do his best to support her.
"But, I really don't know if I will ever tell him how I feel. I mean like I said before, he's not like other humans who look down on our kind and actually treat us as equals. However, I don't know if it'll ever work out even if I did." Blake explained in a sad tone, as she took off her bow.
Both of her parents looked at each other in concern.
"What do you mean?" Ghira asked, curious as to why his daughter would say that.
"My past with the White Fang, if knowledge got out about my previous affiliations I worry that Jaune would get targeted by those who wish to do harm to me." 'Like Adam.' Blake said, adding the last part mentally.
Kali and Ghira gently grasped Blake's hands.
"Blake I understand what you're feeling but I think you should tell Jaune how you feel." Kali said.
"You're mother is right, I think that it'll be best to confess now then dwell on the what ifs in the future." Ghira said.
Blake looked at her parents before smiling. "Thanks, Mom, Dad."
"It's no problem, Kitten." Kali replied.
SCHNEE FAMILY
Inside of a small tea room, Weiss, Winter and Willow sat down enjoying cups of tea.
"So Weiss, how is life at Beacon?" Willow asked, however the Schnee matriarch couldn't help but feel awkward when talking with her daughter. Or any of her children for the fact.
Weiss took a sip of her tea before responding. "It's…interesting to say the least. Not quite what I expected but I'm having a decent time there."
Willow smiled. "That's good." She said. "So Weiss, tell me, are you friends with Jonathan's son?"
Willow's question caused Weiss to pause and Winter to look at her younger sister. The older Schnee sibling knew what Weiss's views on the young Arc male was like and she had no doubt that their mother would not like it. If Willow's obvious friendship with his father was any indication.
"Well, we're not really friends, more like acquaintances. We only hang out because Arc is friends with my team leader, Ruby." Weiss responded truthfully.
Willow hummed at her answer. "That's a shame."
Weiss looked at her mother. "Why are you curious about whether or not I'm friends with him?" She asked.
Willow replied. "Actually mostly due to how close his father and I were."
Winter decided to intervene. "I'm actually curious, how is it that you know Jonathan Arc? You didn't exactly mention him before."
Willow bit the inside of her cheek before saying. "That's really simple, me and Jonathan pretty much grew up together. We met due to our fathers being friends." Memories of her and Jonathan playing in the garden and hanging out in the family library came back to her, making Willow smile warmly. "To be honest, Jonathan was the first person to make me feel special in a way not even my father could. He would always be there in my darkest moments, encouraging me to follow my own path, and see the real me, and not Nicholas Schnee's daughter. Making me fall in love with him."
Willow's confession surprised both of her daughters, she was in love with Jaune Arc's father? That was definitely surprising, however Weiss had some doubts.
"How do you know it wasn't a tactic he did so he could just use you for your status? Like his son does with me." Weiss stated.
"Weiss!" Winter scolded her sister.
Willow lost her smile and stared heavily at her youngest daughter. Completely appalled by her accusation.
"If you really think that Weiss then you know nothing about the Arc family." She said coldly, catching Weiss off guard.
"What do you mean mother?" Weiss asked, somewhat nervous.
Willow took a deep breath. "The Arcs are a family much older than ours and they are also much richer and powerful than ours." She said to her daughters.
"More rich than our family?" Winter asked in surprise.
Willow nodded. "It may not seem like it but that's because the Arcs don't fault their wealth like most nobles and elites do. For centuries that family has followed a code of honor." Willow then cleared her throat as she said the next part in a different language. "'Je suis un Arc, je mettrai la famille avant tout, je tiendrai parole, je protégerai les faibles et je ne flatterai pas face aux ténèbres.'"
"What does that mean?" Winter asked.
"I don't remember the exact translation but it pretty much means putting others before yourself and keeping promises." Willow explained.
Winter and Weiss hummed at that. With the younger Schnee sister starting to rethink her views on Jaune.
"Anyways, I think that's enough about the past. Let us enjoy the moment." Winter and Weiss nodded at their mother's words and went back to enjoying their tea and biscuits.
LIE FAMILY
The Ren family was currently in a group with Nora and Pyrrha standing at the sidelines. The two girls of Team JNPR smiled softly at the sight of Ren being reunited with his family. Eventually, the three of them broke the hug.
"It is good to see you two again." Ren said warmly to his parents
An and Li smiled softly, as An gently cupped Ren's face.
"Look at you, my little Lotus Flower is all grown up." An said.
Ren quickly gained a look of embarrassment on his face. "Mother." He lightly whined. Making everyone chuckle.
An then turned to Nora. "Thank you for being by my son's side."
Nora's face turned light red in embarrassment. "It was nothing Mrs. Ren."
"Please call me An." An said with a smile.
"Okay…An." Nora replied with a smile of her own.
They then went on to continue talking.
ARC FAMILY
Jonathan sighed as he rubbed a hand across his face. He, his wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, and grandson were in a playroom, where Adrian was playing with some toy cars. They were talking about what they had been discussing about the viewings they had seen. Seeing these alternate worlds made the Arc parents rethink how they treated Jaune, more importantly: his dream of being a Huntsman.
"Honey." Angela said simply.
"I know." Jonathan replied. The Arc patriarch was beginning to realize how strained his relationship with his son has been.
Saphron and Terra looked at one another, immediately knowing what they were inferring. They turned back to Jonathan and Angela, with Saphron speaking up.
"Dad, I know you feel bad about how you handled Jaune's dream but that's in the past. There's no taking it back." The second eldest Arc daughter said.
"I know but I just want to fix my mistake. I'm also just mad at myself for how I handled it." Jonathan replied.
"If you want to fix your mistake then start supporting Jaune in his dream." Saphron suggested.
Jonathan sighed as he rubbed his face. He was mentally exhausted, Jonathan was still conflicted about that. On one hand, he was still against Jaune's dream of Huntsman, as he didn't want his only son to get hurt. On the other, he didn't want his relationship with his son to become completely shattered.
"I'll have to think about it." Jonathan said.
Saphron gained a look of disappointment, she knew her father was stubborn. Though she could tell that he was genuinely considered changing. It was something at least.
There was a long and awkward silence between the adults. The only thing that was audible was the sounds of Adrian playing with his toys.
"So." Angela started. "Saphron, Terra." The two mentioned people looked at the Arc matriarch. "Why didn't you tell us that Jaune was Adrian's father?"
Saphron and Terra went stiff at this. Their eyes widened as they glanced at each other nervously. They didn't know how to respond to that, the married couple knew that they would have this talk some day. But not this soon.
Terra rubbed her arm before she spoke. "Well…um, you see…when Saph and I planned to have a baby, we wanted the child to be related to the both of us."
Saphron then stepped in. "So we called Jaune and explained our predicament."
Terra spoke again. "That was when we gave Jaune the other to be our donor. And he agreed to help." It wasn't exactly a lie but not the whole truth either. While Jaune did "donate" a sample, they didn't do it artificially. It was a long week for both of them; Terra was completely exhausted and sore while Saphron had to spend the week in a motel room. It would've been awkward for her if she stayed at the house when Jaune was "donating" his samples with Terra.
"But why not tell us?" Jonathan reiterated his wife's question. He was also curious why his daughter and daughter-in-law kept this information from them.
Saphron let out a sigh. "You know how traditional our family is. There would've been an uproar within the clan." She explained.
Jonathan's face went grim and nodded. He knew full well what his daughter meant.
"Well, regardless, Adrian is still our grandson. No matter who conceived him." Angela added, a smile graced her lips.
"Your mother is right, Adrian is our grandson and we love him. No matter what." Jonathan said.
Saphron and Terra smiled warmly at that. They were happy that Saphron's parents were so understanding and accepting of their situation.
"Would all members of the audience please return to the atrium. We will continue the viewing in a few minutes." The voice of Arcanus ranged out through the facility.
All of the guests that Arcanus had brought to the Nexus looked at one another before getting up and headed to the theater.
THEATER ROOM
The audience entered the room where they were greeted by the sight of Arcanus, Ozpin, and Glynda already present.
"Ah, good you have arrived." The scribe of the multiverse said.
"What's up, Scribe Guy?" Yang asked, giving the scribe a nickname. Which earned her a light snack and chastising look from Summer.
Arcanus ignored the nickname before he spoke. "Not much, just these next viewings will be special."
Everyone looked at one another. None of them were sure what the scribe meant by that.
"If I may." Arcanus turned to Ozpin. "What exactly do you mean by calling these next viewings 'special'?" The headmaster of Beacon asked.
"For the next few viewings, I will bring special guests that will join us. And when these viewings are over, I shall send these special guests back to their home universe." Arcanus said.
Everyone was surprised to hear this. They were going to have more people join them to watch these alternate universes and timelines. Though they were all curious on what connection these special guests had to Jaune. For them it was obvious as they knew Jaune, or at least by proxy in some of the adult's case.
Arcanus clapped his hands. "Now it's time to bring them in." He said as the visor of his helmet glowed brightly.
In a flash, a group of people appeared in the theater room. Ten men and six women. All of them wore outfits that were completely different yet strangely similar from what the people from Remnant wore.
"What the? Where are we?" One of the men asked. He wore a purple dress shirt with black slacks and dress shoes. He had brown hair and eyes. His posture and the way he dressed made him look like one of those actor types.
"I do not know but be on your guard." Another man said. He had long black hair tied into a ponytail. He wore grabs that were similar to a monk. Though the strangest feature of the man was his glowing eyes.
"Welcome." The newly arrived group turned to see the scribe and the group of Remnant. The monk and a bald dark skinned man had their eyes widened at the sight of the people of Remnant. Recognition was present on their faces, though they tried their best to not show it.
"Who are you? Another titan, like ?" A woman in pink demanded. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion.
A woman in blue, identical to the one in pink, a twin sister, a woman with ridiculous long hair, a woman in yellow and a man in red approached her. All of them go into a defensive stance.
Arcanus raised his hands, showing that he meant no harm to them. "Easy, I mean you no harm. I am Arcanus and I simply brought you all here to watch alternate timelines. Timelines that involve your blonde friend." Arcanus said.
It was then that a man in yellow and a man in gray stepped forward. "How do you know, Master Jaune?" The man in yellow asked.
'Master Jaune?' Was the thoughts of many of those from Remnant, confused. Meanwhile, Ozpin quickly realized that these new guests came from a universe where Jaune was a mentor to these people.
"All will be explained soon, Kuai Liang." Arcanus said as he gestures to the seats. "Please sit and join us. I insist."
The new group looked at one another. The monk then stepped forward and spoke.
"We gladly and humbly accept your invitation, Arcanus." He said as he bow. The others that came with him looked at one another before they bowed as well.
"I am glad that you've accepted my invitation, Lord Liu Kang." Arcanus said as he bowed.
