King: That day has come~! 200,000+ views baby! Hot damn! It's all thanks to you all that I get to say that~ Now, let's get to the story. Y'all can read titles! You know what's coming. Say with me~ Go beyond!

Inspiration: My Hero Academia

/\

King was still nowhere to be found. So, the screen started to form into the next world. However, the ruling ball of magical purple fire reappeared to stop it. "Alright~! I think I've got this filter back under control! Let's try this shall we~?"

As the next world started to form again, the screen glitched. A spark later, it shut down.

King was silent for a while. "Um… Okay. So… Looks like I broke it. Thankfully, this is a quick fix compared to the filter." King disappeared again, the screen seeming to glow slightly. "Okay! Fixed the screen, but the filter is shot… again…" He sighed and shrunk in form. "I'll just start the next one and try to fix it…" He disappeared again as the next round started.

The opening scene was solid black as Ruby's voice echoed through, "For as long as I can remember… I've always wanted to be a hero."

Yang smirked and tustled Ruby's hair, "Sounds like you!"

Ruby was at least able to fight this off, "Yang!"

Blake just rolled her eyes at the sisters' antics. "To be fair, though, it sounds more like something Jaune would say."

"I wanted to be just like my hero… I wanted to be the next All Might, the Symbol of Peace."

This got everyone's attention.

The first thing to show on screen was a tall, muscular man with golden blonde hair dressed in a red, blue, and yellow suit straight out of comic books. He was an imposing man, but one that made them all feel at ease. A smile adorned his face that seemed to shine like a light cutting through the darkness. This was a true super hero.

"The man that would always smile, no matter how awful things seemed. He would push through the toughest challenges to save people. No matter what."

Ruby smiled. "I like him. He seems like an awesome guy!"

Ozpin sighed with a smile. "Yeah. The world always needs people like that."

"And one day… I actually got to meet him!"

The man on screen deflated in a cloud of smoke into an older, rather jaded-looking version of Jaune. He was almost skeletal, clearly a sick man.

"What the heck just happened?!" Yang shouted.

Everyone was surprised, but only Pyrrha tried to offer an answer, "Maybe he's too old. It's possible that the larger man was Jaune in his prime."

This got a few to start losing themselves to their imaginations.

But, Ruby continued, "I learned that a grievous injury sustained during a fight a few years ago destroyed most of his internal organs. He can't use his quark for more than three hours a day before coughing up blood…"

Pyrrha clenched her hand around her chair's armrest. "That's…" She couldn't really put it into words.

"Quark?" Weiss folded her arms and frowned, "What's that about?"

The Ruby off screen seemed to hit a realization, "Oh! Right… Um… Quarks are something like super powers. More than 80% of the global population has some kind of power. All Might's power was thought to be super strength, but I learned the truth. It's a stockpiling power called One for All. It infuses him with the strength to do so many amazing things! Super strength! Super Speed!"

Yang chuckled, wrapping an arm around her sister's shoulders, "Now I know that's you talking~!"

Blake nodded, "It does resemble how you get with weapons."

"I always thought he was amazing! I still do! Don't get me wrong! That came out wrong… Point is! I found out that Jaune was like me… We were both born without a Quark. His power, One for All, can be inherited by a chosen successor. And he chose me!"

The screen finally showed Ruby, decked out in a red super suit complete with mini-cape.

Yang chuckled a little. "For as long as I've ever known you, you'd always been wearing that cape. Even in other worlds."

Ruby continued to speak, but not through the picture they saw, "After receiving the power of One for All, I enrolled in Beacon Academy's hero program. I made friends!"

The picture replaced showing Ruby alongside Weiss (dressed in a dress that seemed to swirl both with white on her left and orange on her right), Blake (dressed in a long cloak of some kind), and Yang (grinning ear to ear with a style reminiscent of a military style, complete with grenade-inspired gauntlets).

Ruby smiled, "Team RWBY! Awesome heroes!"

The team all smiled. If they had the chance, they could just tell they'd become super heroes.

"But a world of heroes just has to have villains…"

The picture was swallowed by a swirling vortex of purple and black. The familiar form of Cinder (just dressed in a black, long-sleeve shirt and white pants) stepped through, followed by a hoard of villains of various forms.

"And that about catches you up…"

The screen finally showed Ruby moving around alongside Blake. Separated from their fellow students by one of the villains, they were trying to get back to the entrance. If they could get out, they could get a message to All Might!

"It's still weird that they don't use his name, don't you think?" It was starting to nag at Pyrrha.

"Maybe it's like a secret identity thing. Like… they don't know his real name?" Sun tried to offer.

To be fair, it was the best they had in the way of explanations. And it did make sense given the hero esthetic.

As they ran, something caught their eye. It was Professor Goodwitch, as dressed in black with a long grey scarf and yellow goggle set. She was still fighting the majority of the villains. She was a pro-hero after all, but she was starting to slow. Ruby could see Cinder in the background, watching the battle. Cinder motioned toward one of the larger villains, a behemoth of a man. I think… Truth be told, he was more akin to a monster. He had to be easily over 7 foot and looked like he was on all the steroids he could find. His face, however, sealed the horror. The top half of his head seemed to be removed and his head was shaped more like that of a large bird.

Mercury laughed a little seeing that, "That is one ugly motherfucker…"

Emerald, despite how much the idea appalled, had to agree with him.

Cinder snapped her fingers to get his (its?) attention. "Hazel… Get this annoying pawn out of the way."

Cinder blinked in surprise. That's supposed to be Hazel?

She was unaware of a certain Headmaster having the same thought.

The creature, now confirmed as Hazel, made a sound that just… sounded wrong.

Yang felt a shiver go up her spine, "Yikes… That just hurts to hear."

Hazel looked toward Goodwitch, who just beat three of the goons into the ground with a single action. Hazel took a step forward and suddenly charged toward her. Glynda turned toward him. The camera pulled toward her showing her eye, a strange pulse emanating from within. So long as Glynda kept the large man in sight, his Quark would be a non-issue.

Glynda smiled to herself. That would certainly help in her day to day…

Hazel was in front of her in a moment and landing a heavy punch. He caught her before she could fly away and slammed her into the ground, all the while letting out a horrid, inhuman sound.

Glynda coughed up a bit of blood. She felt Hazel's hand wrap around her head and lift her up slightly. I know I erased his Quark… He must just be this strong naturally… He's… almost as strong as All Might!

As if he could hear her thoughts, Hazel slammed her face-first into the concrete below, cracking the surface.

Glynda recoiled seeing that happen. The amount of force it would take… Best not to think about that for the moment… Or at all…

Ruby and Blake ducked behind a low wall. Ruby took in a few deep breathed, "Okay! We need to figure out how to save Professor Goodwitch from that… thing…"

Blake peaked over the wall, "Unless you have some crazy strategies, I don't see that happening. That guy looks like a tank. A creepy, bird tank thing…"

Ruby started to think. There had to be something… Some way to…

Hazel roared out, screeched more like, abandoning the unconscious body of Glynda Goodwitch.

Ruby couldn't help but grin a little. That works.

"I don't think that's a good thing…" Glynda scowled. She could tell something was off.

Hazel turned slightly and looked off toward Ruby and Blake's hiding place.

Sun groaned, "Oh… that's not good."

Hazel started to charge toward the hiding teens with a screeching roar. He was interrupted by a loud burst coming from the nearby entryway. The doors had been broken in and a large man was walking through in the sunlight. A heroic score started to swell in the background.

Cinder smirked, "I was wondering where you went…"

Jaune stood in the entranceway in a white work shirt with a pair of yellow, pinstripe suit pants. He took a hold of his tie, loosening it as he spoke, "There's no need to fear children!" His voice was deep and imposing, a terror to villains and a comforting tone to the innocent. He ripped the tie clean off, "Because I am here!"

The students strewn about began to calm. The villains started to cower. This was All Might, the Symbol of Peace. The world's greatest hero.

Eyes went wide seeing this version of Jaune. For once, Pyrrha and Velvet didn't blush. Their feelings were admiration. They looked up to this Jaune as a beacon of heroism, an inspiration. Pyrrha couldn't help but smile. It was everything Jaune wanted to be.

Hazel tilted his head. Not sure what to do next. He was engineered to kill All Might, but his mental capabilities were… lacking.

Cinder couldn't help but smirk. She respected Hazel, but she still didn't like him. Out of the other three under Salem's power, he was the least annoying. Not exactly a feat, but she'll take it.

Cinder raised a finger toward the Symbol of Peace. "Hazel… Kill h…"

A burst of wind flowed passed Cinder. Jaune had moved so fast that he was able to knock a small hidden skin mask off her face. All the while, getting Glynda to safety. Jaune turned back toward her and scowled.

Ruby was shaking. She had every reason to. All Might, the Symbol of Peace, the hero who smiled no matter how horrible things got… wasn't smiling.

Neptune blinked. "Oh… That chick messed up."

Weiss turned toward Neptune, "How so?"

Sun nodded and explained his friend's point, "Think about what that Ruby just said… thought… Whatever. Point is, this Jaune is supposed to be smiling no matter what. Imagine how pissed he'd have to get to make him stop…"

A shadowy figure, like a literal living shadow, walked over to Cinder and handed her a half mask/patch. She placed it over her face and scowled toward All Might, a small smile starting to form. "Hazel! Kill him! Kill All Might!"

Hazel screech/roared and charged toward Jaune. Jaune crossed his arms and moved to meet the beast. When he reached the large mass of a man, Jaune unleased a powerful cross chop to his body, Carolina Smash!, creating a shockwave and caused the flooring behind Hazel to crack and fly upward.

Yang whistled in appreciation for the sheer strength. "Damn~! Go Vomit Boy!"

But Hazel was unaffected. He looked down toward Jaune and tried to lash out and wrap his arms around him. Jaune leaned back to duck under the powerful swing. As he swung up, he landed another powerful punch into the beast's gut, to no effect.

Ruby clutched her chair, "I don't like where this is going…"

Jaune spun his body slightly to deliver another punch to Hazel's head. A few punches later, and he had to back away, "It doesn't matter where I punch you does it?!"

Cinder chuckled a little, "Of course… Hazel here has the power of Shock Absorption. The only way your going to beat him is to slowly gouge out his flesh. Not that he's just going to sit back and let you do that! Face it! You've met your match!"

Jaune ducked another attack and flanked Hazel, wrapping his arms around the beast's torso from behind, "Thanks for telling me how to beat him! I just have to wear him down!" Jaune leaned back and delivered a suplex powerful enough to create a massive dust cloud.

Weiss crossed her arms, "Why would she just tell him that…"

Neptune tapped his chair, "I know from Sun that villains in comics will be caught monologuing, but I don't think that's what this was…"

Ruby watched on during the fight. She clenched her fist, knowing what so many didn't. All Might could only use his powers for three hours at a time. He needed substantial rest before he could fight again. But this morning, he used his powers to stop small time villains. He'd already used up most of his time as it is. Not to mention…

A flashback began showing Ruby standing opposite the almost skeletal version of Jaune slumped against a railing. He was showing off a truly nasty scar on his lower torso.

Pyrrha felt a pained chill go up her spine. Seeing Jaune that badly messed up hurt her than she could articulate.

"Pretty gross, right? I got this in a nasty fight five years back. My respiratory system is pretty much gone, and I lost my whole stomach. All the surgeries wore me out and it's not getting any better. As a result, I can only do hero work for maybe three hours a day. Rest of the time, this is what I look like."

Jaune sighed, "I'm supposed to be the Symbol of Peace with a fearless smile. But there's plenty of fear under that smile. That's just a brave face I use in high pressure situations… It's tough being a hero… You put your life on the line every day."

Everyone (except the villainous group) all had varying reactions to that. Those who'd been huntsmen/military for a long period of time were all hanging heads slightly; having long since learned this lesson. Those of the younger generation had yet to learn this lesson, and thus that hurt to hear, but it would never deter them.

The flash back ended as Jaune spoke the last line, showing the larger, muscular form cough up a bit of blood. The camera pulled back to show that his suplex had sent Hazel through a portal and back underneath him. Hazel had his fingers digging into Jaune's sides, his left side (the injury) starting to bleed.

Blake blinked, "That's not good…"

Sun recoiled seeing the bleeding, "Yeah, no kidding."

Jaune had to release his hold on Hazel and try to pry the fingers off his injury, but the hand wouldn't budge. "Shit!"

Cinder chuckled. "Excellent work Watts."

The shadowy figure let out a quick laugh, "Naturally."

Cinder's eyes narrowed. So that's Watts… If she didn't have more self-control, she'd have started to burn the chair. It was no secret she hated Watts more than any of her compatriots. Okay, it was kind of secret to everyone here, but not among those who worked under Salem.

Cinder grinned toward the scene before her. "Now, Hazel, pull him through. Only half way mind, we can't rip him in half if he goes all the way through~"

Hazel started to pull Jaune into the misty portal beneath him.

Ruby jumped up in her seat, "Come on Jaune! You can get out of there! Turn this around and kick their buts!"

Ruby clenched her fists, "We have to do something!" She jumped from her cover and started to charge, hoping to loosen the monster's hold.

Blake cursed under her breath and followed soon after.

Before they arrived, Jaune suddenly felt the pressure on his side lessen. He looked down to find Hazel's left side had frozen solid. This gave him the leverage to escape. Jaune turned to see Weiss, with a frozen path leading between her and Hazel, the ice emanating from under her left foot. Next to her Yang was running up to the group, propelling herself forward using an explosion from her hands.

Ruby cheered, "Go Weiss!" She was happy to see her teammate save her friend like that, even if this Jaune was more a role model.

Weiss sighed with a smile. She was happy to know she saved someone, even in this world.

Yang grinned, "So that's my super power in this?! I can make explosions!"

Blake chuckled a little, "Don't you do that normally?"

"That's why it's perfect!"

Cinder growled, "Hazel…"

The beast started to move through the portal again, lifting himself out from within with only his legs to support him. As he did, the strain caused his left arm and leg, both frozen solid, to crumble apart.

Yang winced seeing that. "Yikes…"

Nora was, as always, looking on the bright side, "At least he's not a threat anymore."

Hazel seemed to flex his body and the ice broke away. After a moment, his muscles started to reform, followed by his skin. In a few seconds, it was as if nothing happened.

Jaune, and all involved, was shocked to see this, "I thought you said his Quark was shock absorption!"

Cinder cackled, "I also didn't say that was his only Quark. He also has super regeneration. Hazel was specifically designed to fight you at a hundred percent. Think of him like a supped-up punching bag that hits back."

Ruby wanted to throw something at the cinder on screen, "How is that fair?!"

Cinder, however, smirked, "Life's not fair. Get used to it."

Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang got ready for the fight, only to have Jaune place an arm out, "Don't attack! Get out of here and get to safety!"

Weiss narrowed her eyes, but kept an eye on Cinder and her team, "If I recall, you'd have been toast if I hadn't stepped in. You need our help."

"That was different." Jaune's hand clenched into a fist. "I can handle things from here."

Ruby, however, wasn't so convinced, "But… You're bleeding! And you're…" She was able to stop herself from blurting out about his time limit. You're almost out of time!

Jaune just smiled back at them as his fist turned to a thumb's up. "Sit back and watch a pro at work~!"

Cinder glared daggers toward Jaune, "Hazel. Watts. Deal with All Might. I'll deal with the children." She started to charge toward team RWBY as Hazel moved toward Jaune.

Jaune took a breath and clenched his fists. I've only got about a minute left in this form. My power's declining faster than I expected. But even so… I have to stop these villains! Because I am…" The screen became a starry landscape, a single star shining brighter than the others. It moved along a line to another star, and another, until it landed on a golden star. The scene returned to show Jaune's eyes, fueled by his sense of righteousness and purpose, "… the world's Symbol of Peace and Justice!

Jaune dug his foot in and flew forward to meet Hazel. Their punches collided with a massive shockwave, knocking everyone away. The students were pushed back to safety and the villains were knocked away from the fight.

This got everyone to jump in surprise. Sun let out an impressed whistle, "Holy crap! Look at him go!"

Yang was wide eyed. She'd never seen someone punch with the force like that. Sure, she'd taken and delivered nasty hits, but nothing that powerful. It was, honestly, a little inspiring. Could she pull off something like that?

Cinder laughed a little, "Weren't you listening?! One of his Quarks is shock absorption!"

Velvet felt a chill, "Oh no! That's right!"

Jaune didn't seem to care, "Yeah?! What about it?!"

He and Hazel started to trade punches, each colliding with one another. After a moment, their hands became blurs. The sheer force was creating torrents of wind powerful enough to push everyone back and keep them away.

Watts' shadowy body was being blown back, "I can't get near them!"

Yang had to cover her eyes from the wind to see what was happening, "They're so fast!"

Ruby was watching on in amazement.

Winter sighed, "Brute force won't work here. That thing can take all his punishment and deal it back. Difference is, he doesn't heal as quickly."

Jaune took a step forward, into the swings, "She said your power was shock absorption not nullification."

This sparked a realization in some of the viewers.

Yang smirked, "You were saying?"

"That means there's a limit to what you can take!" Jaune landed a powerful hit and pushed Hazel back a bit. Then another hit forced him back again. "And if you really were designed to fight me at a hundred percent of my power… then I'll just have to go beyond that and force you to surrender!" The blur of fists and impacts started to move further toward Hazel, no longer able to keep up with Jaune's assault.

Cinder just laughed in the background, "Not fucking likely! He feels no pain! He's designed to kill you! AND HE WILL KILL YOU!"

Jaune smirked a little, "In that case I don't need it to hurt. I just need him to stay down!"

Nora raised a fist to the sky, "YEAH! Show him who's boss!" As she shouted, she made a mental note to remember that one for the future.

Ruby cheered on, happy seeing Jaune get the chance to be a real hero and beat down a bad guy. Velvet and Pyrrha joined her, as did many in the audience. This Jaune was an inspiration to so many in that audience, even Roman and Neo couldn't help but smile seeing him in action.

Jaune landed a powerful shot and sent Hazel flying backward. Jaune jumped after him and kneed him in the head as Hazel tried to charge again. "A real hero will always find a way for justice to be served!" They spun in the air and Jaune landed a nasty hit to Hazel's head. Hazel tried to attack, but Jaune blocked the punch, using the shockwave created by the attack to flip around him. Jaune kicked Hazel toward the ground at his head, causing him to flip into the air again. The camera spun with an upside-down Hazel, showing Jaune running along the ground toward him. Jaune grabbed the monster by the arm and started to spin around. With a roar, he launched the beast toward the ground, forming a small crater in the ground.

"Holy shit!" Yang was just as wide eyed as Ruby. This version of Jaune was so badass!

Everyone cheered on as Jaune was beating the ever-living crap out of the monstrous Hazel on screen.

Even Velvet was getting in on things, "Come on Jaune! Send him flying!"

As Hazel started to rise off the ground from the impact, Jaune landed on the ground next to him, the heroic score truly taking off beneath the action. "Now for a lesson! You may have heard these words before, but I'll share with you what they truly mean!"

The flowing stars returned, ending at a bright white light. Jaune's hand reached up to grab the light in his fist. "Go beyond!" A large cross formed around his fist as he punched into Hazel's gut. "PLUS! ULTRA!"

The power built between and suddenly Hazel was gone. A shockwave from the attack ripped the ground apart. The camera flew up to follow the now flying Hazel as he slammed into the ceiling, which bent around him, unable to withstand the force. Hazel was thrown into the stratosphere, breaking apart clouds as flew threw.

The crowd erupted in cheers and celebrations seeing that. Smiles abound in the room as Jaune had sent that big bad packing.

Cinder groaned. With Hazel gone, All Might in front of her, and the rest of pros likely to follow soon… She knew better than to stay. "Watts…" The shadowy man enveloped them both, warping them away to safety. "This is far from over."

Ruby's voice over returned as the screen showed the group celebrating, "She wasn't lying. In a lot of ways, this was only the beginning. But, right now, we were all alive. Professor Goodwitch would recover, All Might's secret was kept safe when the other pros arrived to distract the others, and we all made it out in one piece. Today was a victory. That's all that mattered."
