Unusual Trio (Jaune Arc)
"How does that sandwich taste?" Asked Ruby with a mouth full of fries.
"Pretty good I'd say, The Bar is really good at making food!" Complimented Jaune.
"The owner doesn't give me any alcoholic drinks though, which is sort of annoying." Complained Yang.
"What's this about drinking alcohol?" Mentioned Qrow as he walked towards the table.
"Oh! Uuuuh Nothing!" Tried to hide Yang.
"Uncle Qrow! Come sit with us!" Suggested Ruby.
"Sorry kid, but Ozpin asked me to accompany him since he wants to check out the rooms you've talked about." He informed. "He's been talking quite a bit lately with this Chesed lad a lot."
"I assume they were talking about coffee or something?" Guessed Blake.
"Spot on." Confirmed Qrow.
"I say it would be better if we all went together, don't you think?" Asked Weiss.
"Well, if you want Snow Queen Junior, sure." Accepted the huntsman.
"Don't ever call me that again, please." She pleaded with annoyance.
"Would it be fine if we joined as well?" Asked a new voice.
"Oh! I'm surprised to see you! You're uh... Cinder was it?" Asked Ruby.
"Yes, that would be me, a surprise meeting you here." She said with a smile.
"..." Qrow remained silent for a moment. "Well, the more the merrier."
"Why don't we go now?" Asked Blake. "I think we've finished eating now."
"Sure, I was going straight to Ozpin now." Informed Qrow.
"Do you know which floor he's supposed to be on?" Asked Ren.
"Uuuuh, I think it was on the first floor." Tried to remember Qrow.
"Why am I the only one not on the first floor?" Whispered Yang with annoyance.
_-_
"Ah, you've come at last." Spoke Ozpin with calmness.
"Yup, I sort of brought the kids here since they asked, hope that's not much of a problem." He responded.
"No, there won't be any problem, now, how about we enter now?" Said Ozpin as he opened the first door he saw.
Only to open the room where Sunny was sleeping in.
"Whoops, that's not the one." Apologized Ozpin without being embarrassed. He then opened the one next to it.
It was a white room, therefore, it was inhabited.
"Wait there for just a moment, won't you? I find this idea of viewing different worlds interesting you see." Spoke a voice from far away.
RWBY and JNPR narrowed their eyes as they saw who was talking.
Roman Torchwick, who was no longer locked up, was talking to them, he was accompanied by Neopolitan, and Adam and Sienna, who came reluctantly.
Blake started to tremble upon seeing Adam.
"Just so you know, I'm only coming here because I have nothing else to do." Warned Sienna.
"Is this the group you decided to hide behind, Blake? With other humans? You've reached a new low." Spat Adam as he looked at her with disdain.
Qrow seemed prepared to throw hands, Ozpin then said. "Sure."
"W-what? Headmaster, are you sure about this?" Asked Weiss.
"Of course, it might be much more interesting if we add a bit of evil into the mix." He reasoned.
"Was that a metaphor for coffee?" Inquired Nora. Yet she got no response in return.
"Argh, I'm getting tired standing here, I'm going in first." Declared Mercury as he took the first steps into the room.
"Damn it... Wait up Mercury!" Said Emerald as she followed suit.
One by one, each of them slowly made their way into the room, only for it to then close.
Adam remained on guard, just as Qrow was doing.
The room then started to change colors.
The scene became a plain landscape, rural and a bit ancient. There was a line of troops marching towards a direction.
Then two faunus could be seen running towards them desperately.
"Heeeey! Come here! Please! I Beg you!" Pleaded the faunus.
"You have to help us!" Desperately yelled the other faunus.
They then bowed down onto the ground.
"What is this... disgusting view!" Roared Adam as he saw two faunus bowing down in submission to humans.
"Adam, calm down, even if I don't like it either, we cannot do anything but watch." Tried to calm Sienna as she burrowed her claws into her arm.
"This looks like a village." Commented Pyrrha.
Meanwhile Ren looked a bit stunned, the same went for Nora, as the buildings looked too similar to the ones in his previous village, albeit a bit less elegant.
"The White Fang has attacked us! Please save our village!" Begged the faunus.
The soldier, in disgust, sneered. "Know your place! Get off me!" He then pushed the faunus of him. "We are the Imperial Army! We have no time to waste with worthless villagers!"
"T-that's cruel! Shouldn't he be going to save innocent people!?" Yelled Ruby.
"Kid, sometimes, huntsmen only save people for money, and given the fact they have none, they decided not to help." Informed Qrow.
"I know that being a huntsman is a job... but even so..." She tried to argue.
"Why... Why is the White Fang hurting their own brothers?!" Roared Sienna in shock.
"Sienna, please understand that maybe those faunus were sympathizers with humans." Reasoned Adam Taurus.
"Even so! We the White Fang strive for equality! We do not seek to hurt one another!" She argued back. "I refuse to believe that is the White Fang that we fought for!"
"N-no..." Whispered one of the faunus.
The sound of footsteps could be heard as men with white clothing started rushing at them.
Both of them looked in horror as they were about to be killed by these bandits. "Help! HELP!"
Then, two men blocked the attacks and killed the bandits.
A man with sabatons and a man with a curved sword stood in front of the two faunus.
"Excellent job Adam, nice work saving the faunus." Complimented Sienna as she saw the different version of Adam save two innocent civilians. "Given the fact that you're against fellow members, it is more than likely they are fake White Fang members." She tried to reason.
"Welp, seems like I'll be part of the main cast for this viewing." Chuckled Mercury as he saw his other self pull such a stunt.
"Though, seeing you working with Adam is certainly odd." Mentioned Emerald as to not blow their cover.
"I am glad I was able to save those two poor faunus, but why must I work with him?" Questioned Adam as he pointed at Mercury.
Ruby and Jaune sighed in relief as they were glad that they didn't see two people dying to bandits.
"It's not wrong to cheer for him, right?" Asked Nora, unsure as to whether to cheer for the faunus that were saved or glare at Adam on the screen.
"I'd say cheer, since perhaps their personalities have changed." Assumed Ren.
Steps could be heard as a man wearing a cape slowly made his way behind the two faunus. He then grabbed their shoulders. They both turned around to see a kind smile.
They then grabbed him by the arms. "The White Fang! Our village! Please!"
"Don't say another word, we'll take care of this." Gently said Jaune.
"Wow, what a strange group." Commented Yang. "I'd never thought I'd see these three work together."
"Neither did I." Muttered Blake.
"I am sure that the three are simply part of the same group by coincidence." Suggested Weiss.
"More than likely, you surprised me to even suggest something I agree with. I refuse to believe I am working with them out of my own free volition." Growled Adam.
Sienna looked at Adam for a moment. Perhaps his aggressiveness towards humans was going too far at this point.
She'd need to have a talk with him later.
Troops then started running behind Jaune, they then rushed onward as Jaune raised his hand. "Come forth men! We must rescue the villagers! Cut down the White Fang and bring peace to this land!"
"Woah! Fearless leader is a general of an army?!" Cheered Nora.
"Seems like it, it's nice to see that he's trying to save people." Smiled Ren.
"Look Jaune, you've become a hero." Declared Pyrrha.
"Ah ah..." He Laughed awkwardly.
"So, it seems like you joined an army to help save people?" Said Cinder as she looked at Mercury.
"Seems like it might not be what I was planning to do when I become a huntsman, but I guess that's what makes these different worlds so interesting." He explained.
"Fret not Adam, your other self is attempting to save faunus civilians from scum that dare stain our name." Reassured Sienna.
"I cannot stand the idea of working together with humans though..." Whispered Adam.
"Yes brother, we shall keep the people safe!" Yelled Adam.
"You've got it brother! Let's take out each single White Fang!" Responded Mercury.
"What?"
That was the combined reply of most of the people in the room.
"That's priceless." Chuckled Qrow at the thought of a terrorist being a brother to two huntsmen in training.
"To hear this animal be so buddy-buddy with a human is hilarious." Added Roman as he howled at the revelation.
"I refuse to believe I am a brother to them!" yelled Adam in indignation.
Sienna simply found the situation highly amusing.
Mercury chuckled. "Welp, a pleasure meeting you, brother." He then extended his hand to Jaune.
"Uhm... likewise?" He responded while accepting the handshake.
"B-but Jaune! What about us!" Said Nora with dramatic tears. "What about Renny and I?"
"Nora... that's a Jaune from another world..." Pointed out Ren.
"You're no fun Renny! I wanted to tease Jaune a bit." She then puffed her cheeks.
Jaune rushed forward with his greatsword in hand. He then sliced down an enemy while continuing onward.
He then saw Adam and Mercury taking care of the White Fang while also protecting the villagers.
He saw an officer in front of him and attacked him before he could react.
Jaune swung his sword, but it was then blocked by the giant club the enemy had.
The blonde boy then tried to slash again, this time, he slashed upward and kicked the opponent, which made the White Fang fall off balance.
Seeing this golden opportunity he then stabbed his sword downwards and pierced through the abdomen of his opponent.
This also created a crater on the floor.
The officer then coughed. "I can't... believe I lost... to someone as scrawny... as you."
"Seems like people still see you as a scrawny boy." Teased Yang.
"Well, he is indeed scrawny." Spoke Roman.
Neo simply giggled.
"Excellent display of skill, Jaune Arc." Complimented Ozpin. "Please take notes of your counterpart."
"I-I'll try!" He replied.
Jaune then looked up to see Adam decapitate an enemy and Mercury snapping the neck of another.
White Fang rebels then started running away.
"Argh, just when I was starting to warm up." Said Mercury with disappointment.
The room then turned to black.
"During the later Romee Dynasty period, the signs of imminent rebellion could be seen everywhere."
"Hey, who's talking?" Asked Nora confused.
"It's more than like a narrator." Explained Ren.
"Seriously? Are we actually going to take a history lesson?" Questioned Yang with annoyance.
"But it's a place we know nothing about, if anything, this is interesting." Pointed out Blake.
"Like a fantasy setting?" Asked Ruby.
"Mostly, probably one where aura doesn't exist." Added Emerald.
"So faunus exist yet aura doesn't..." Whispered Ozpin.
"Romee... Wait! That's the surname of my mother!" Exclaimed Jaune.
"Then wait! Does that mean you're a prince of that dynasty?!" Excitedly said Nora. "Then you must be a prince with your own castle!"
"Corruption within the Imperial Court had turned the land into chaos as the bystanders paid the price."
"And so, people found themselves seeking change."
"The brothers, Fennec and Corsac Albain, leaders of a religious sect known as the Way of Peace, further plunged the land into further chaos as they continued to gain a following."
"This uprising would later be known as the White Fang Rebellion."
"The threat of the White Fang stood over the Romee like a impending rain."
"The Albain brothers?" Wondered Sienna. "To think they would be the ones to create their own group... though, it seems they have not used it for the sake of equality."
"Then, that explains why I am not a follower of the White Fang." Lied Adam. "They do not wish to follow the true path of the White Fang."
"Sensing the imminent fate, the Imperial Court raised a call to arms across the land."
"Among those many warriors, stood a man who saught to fight for the people."
"His name was Jaune Arc, descendant of Romee Royalty."
"Now that I think about it, Jaune, you didn't really talk about your family aside from your sisters." Pointed out Pyrrha.
"Ah! Right, I didn't really think much about talking to them since... well, you know." He said.
"Ah, you mean after you left... I can understand it." She noted.
"But anyways! My parents are Isabella Romee and Jacques Arc!" He revealed. "They're not bad people, I promise, it's just that I sort of left without telling them."
Weiss had to blink twice to register the name of Jaune's father. "Ah, that's... surprising... yeah, that might be the correct word."
"Jeez Jaune, you ought to talk a bit more about your family." Commented Yang. "Because it seems like I know the least about you."
"Sure! I'll talk about myself after we finish this!" He announced.
"Look at that picture of Jaune Jaune! He looks so elegant!" Nora said as she pointed at the portrait of Jaune wearing a white cape and green armor.
"So it's like some sort of cheesy story about a kid turning out to be the illegitimate son of a rich family?" Sarcastically said Roman.
"Uh, I do wonder if my seven sisters will also appear." Wondered Jaune.
"S-seven?!" Said a surprised Emerald.
"Wooooh boy, your family needs a few hobbies there bud." Joked Mercury.
"Him, together with Adam Taurus and Mercury Black, are sworn brothers."
"The three of them took an oath, within a field of celestial flame iris."
"The three are brothers, bound by righteous purposes."
"Though born at different times."
"They ask to die in the same year, in the same month, on the same day."
"They will push forward... with compassion for humans and faunus alike."
"And so, they join in battle..."
"For within his heart, there was nothing more greater than to ease the suffering of the people."
"Sworn brothers... and with an oath as well... this is so cool..." Whispered Ruby.
"To fight to save people, be it human of faunus..." Muttered Sienna. "That is... beneficial."
"It brings me at ease to see that the world seems to have Jaune still wants to become a hero." Commented Pyrrha.
"While I may... not like Adam, it seems like he is much more sane there." Admitted Blake.
"This is ridiculous... why would my other version do something as idiotic as make an oath of brotherhood with two humans?!" Ranted Adam.
"Woah, easy there, I may not know much about either of you, but I gotta say, I like it." Spoke Mercury.
"Of course you would, you're the kind of person who clings to me when it comes to working together." Taunted Emerald.
"Hey, what can I say, I like my brothers in arms a lot." He joked.
"Honestly, you feel less like a huntsman there and more like a hero from the old." Admitted Qrow. "I wouldn't be surprised if I saw someone like that in some old history book."
Ozpin looked at the bright version of Jaune that continued to be broadcasted in the screen. In a way, it was a bit nostalgic, yet he knew that the threat of such innocence being corrupted could happen at any moment.
"So take care of the poor uh? Quite the goodie two shoes there." Mentioned Roman.
"We owe you our lives. If you hadn't helped us... I'm not sure what would have happened to us.." Spoke one of the faunus.
Jaune smiled. "No, you don't owe me anything. I am relieved to see that you're fine. Are any of you injured?"
"We are all fine, it is all thanks to you. You're a true hero." Thanked the faunus.
"Sheeeeesh." Noised Yang. "You're a really smooth guy there Jaune, you sound like a genuine dude who has no enemies."
"It's like I'm seeing a real hero from the fairytales in this room." Remarked Ruby.
"I... I strive to become something like that version of me! I'm not sure what the previous version we saw with the Red Mist and Roland was, but I wish to be as strong as that one, but also kind as this one." Said Jaune with a determined look.
"Now that you mention it, could anyone tell me what all of you saw last time?" Inquired Cinder.
"Oh! Sure! We saw a version of Ruby and Jaune as two other people in the room!" Explained Nora. " Then we found out about some cool stuff like sentient weapons and how Jaune went on a killing spree!"
"Nora... please don't say it like that." Pleaded Pyrrha.
"There were also a lot more other people, one that we know of was Weiss' sister, Winter."
"Oh, the Ice Queen appeared?" Mocked Qrow.
"Yup! It was a bit surprising seeing her on screen!" Ruby commented.
Ren decided to continue explaining. "We also got to a few names we didn't know, a few members of Jaune's personal huntsmen group so to speak had a few names we didn't know such as Hire or Rais."
"Then there was a character that seemed important, her name was Salem, who gave Ruby the weapon she used in that world."
A few of those present froze upon the mention of the name.
"Uh, do you perhaps know that name headmaster?" Asked Ruby upon noticing him almost spit his coffee.
"Yes, though, I'll see if I end up telling you." He monotonically said with a smile.
Qrow simply rubbed his chin, thinking about the idea of her niece working for Salem. It did not suit her.
Cinder was in the same position, she was surprised that it would reveal Salem out of nowhere, perhaps this was far more dangerous than she thought, for she could end up exposed as well.
"Salem seemed like a nice person, though a bit crazy." Commented Jaune. "Apparently she wanted to change the current society of that world, which might have been not good."
"I see, thanks for the additional information Mr. Arc." Thanked Ozpin.
"Now, can all you stop talking? I'm having a bit of trouble trying to listen to the boy talk in the scene." Expressed Roman.
"Uh? It was still playing?" Questioned Yang.
"Seems like it, he was just talking to someone before, and now he is going towards his brothers after talking to another." pointed out Blake.
"I was able to listen to him, apparently, the name was Robert Baudricourt." Mentioned Sienna.
"That name did get mentioned before." Spoke Pyrrha.
Ozpin idly thought about what the young huntsmen in training talked about.
He wanted to know more about that world.
Perhaps he should ask Chesed for some help.
"Brother, we have much to catch up to the main group of the Imperial Army. We must pick up the pace." Informed Adam.
"Jeez Adam, what's the big hurry?" Asked Mercury nonchalantly. "They don't even care about us, we're just mere voluntary soldiers, so they won't notice we're not there."
Jaune shook his head. "Even so, we must catch up, we need to defeat Corsac and Fennec before things get worse."
"Oh fine, at least I'll get to fight a bit." Mercury reluctantly agreed. "So Fennec and Corsac, right? Then let's get this done with."
The gates then opened, only to reveal a battlefield.
Each single troop of Jaune Arc rushed into battle, they all divided as they went to support the struggling ally troops.
Jaune went straight to a man who was struggling with an enemy officer.
He rushed in to block the attack, he then gripped his sword and swung against the White Fang officer.
He then took a spear that was on the floor by kicking it up and threw it against the opponent, killing him.
A few allied troops then put themselves in front of the person who Jaune had saved.
The grateful officer then said. "You've arrived in time to save me! I promise I will reward you for your contributions."
He then did a palm and fist gesture. "Please, help us bring down the White Fangs!"
"That is what I was planning to do, please allow my troops to advance forward." Jaune requested.
"Permission granted, the Imperial Forces shall also move onward." He informed.
"Jaune's saving people left and right." Commented Yang. "Seeing you defeat so many enemies at once tells me that you're either skilled, or the enemy just lacks any sort of training."
"From the looks of it, the enemies are composed of peasants and bandits who decided to rebel alongside the White Fang." Pointed out Ozpin "As for his kind actions, it's also the job of huntsmen to save people, what is different is whether they do it expecting a reward in change or not."
"I wouldn't mind some money to spend on booze." Joked Qrow.
"Is it because I personally sponsor you?" Inquired Ozpin.
"You pay for my stuff relating to work, but I gotta get my own share to buy some booze and all that." Answered Qrow.
"Honor and pride wouldn't cut it for me, I'd ask for something else." Added Emerald.
"Course you would." Smirked Mercury.
"Feel the power of my magic!" Chanted a White Fang general.
Boulders started rolling down the hill out of nowhere.
"The path ahead is riddled with danger." Said Adam.
The Imperial troops stopped their march.
"Magic?" Wondered Ozpin.
"Oh! There's magic in that world?!" Excitedly said Nora.
"It seems like they changed aura for magic in that world." Commented Pyrrha.
"Mmm, I'm not sure which one is better." Wondered Pyrrha.
"Well, magic is all cool and flashy, but aura does help us more in our physical form." Argued Blake.
However, that was not enough to scare Jaune away.
He started running up the mountain.
"Wait! Brother!" Yelled Adam.
The boulders came down as Jaune continued to run up against them.
He then used the terrain to dodge the incoming rockslide.
He stabbed his sword into the side of the mountain to narrowly avoid one of the boulders.
Then he rolled to one side to dodge another.
And slowly but surely, he made it to the top.
Where many enemy troops were waiting for him.
And yet, he was not scared.
"Those who dare block the path of virtue shall fall!" He declared as he rushed towards the enemy main officer.
"You're agile in that world, Jaune." Pointed out Ruby. "I wonder how fast you are compared to me!"
"Definitely not as fast as you, but I guess I am good at dodging." Answered Jaune.
"Now that I think about it, maybe we should train your dodging a bit." Said Pyrrha. "We've been training most of your basic skills, but I think we never touched on dodging."
"Well, we can train later after we finish seeing what this room wants to show us." Declared Jaune.
"Seeing Adam worry for a human is certainly something I never thought I'd see." Whispered Emerald.
"Yeah, look at him in the corner growling!" Smirked Mercury.
"Mmm, quite flamboyant I might add, he'd certainly pass as a thief if he were one." Complimented Roman.
Neo simply nodded in agreement.
"Damn it brother! We can't leave you alone now, can we?" Joked Mercury as he destroyed a boulder with one of his kicks.
"You may be the oldest one of us, yet you are one of the more rash." Commented Adam as he cut another boulder in half.
"But that's what we're here for!" They both said as they then helped Jaune to finish off the White Fang officer.
"R-retreat!" Said an enemy soldier as he saw the power of the three combined.
"I am sorry fellow White Fang comrade, you had to perish against these corrupt officers!" Yelled another White Fang officer. "Please, gods above, grant me strength to protect our comrades! Allow winds to blow and protect us!"
Strong winds then started blowing, making most soldiers fall down the mountain.
"Those damn sorcerers can't do anything without the power of their gods!" Ranted Mercury.
"No worries, there is a route on the south that leads to a cliff, we can ambush them from there." Informed Adam.
"You three must be really close to be able to attack like that!" Teased Yang.
Adam growled in frustration. "I refuse to see them both as my sworn brothers!"
"Adam, please note that this is a different version of you." Pointed out Sienna. "Furthermore, this is the very thing we strive to reach, equality between humans and faunus."
"Yeah! Listen to your boss, brother!" Taunted Mercury.
Adam unsheathed his sword, however, Sienna grabbed his shoulder before he could do anything else.
"Adam, remember to not allow yourself to be controlled by anger." She reminded.
Adam simply took a deep breath and glared at Mercury under his mask. He couldn't act rashly in front of the leader, not now, maybe when he'd finally overthrow her. She was starting to go soft.
"Controlled by anger." Whispered Jaune. It was a teaching that the other version of Ruby had taught his counterpart.
He wondered, just how furious was his other version in that world? And what other things had happened to him.
Jaune and his brothers jumped down the hill. Upon landing, they created a powerful wave that made each single enemy troop fall to the ground.
"H-how did you get here?!" Said the confused White Fang officer.
"It matters not." Answered Adam as he unleashed an unrelenting attack.
He drew his sword and rapidly slashed every single enemy in a single strike, the moment he sheathed his sword again, each single one of the White Fang rebels were found dead.
"Oh come on! Leave some for us, brother!" Complained Mercury.
They then continued to move forward, until they made it to the Albain brothers.
"The Romee has already fallen to darkness!" Chanted one of the brothers.
"Fools who dare defy the mandate of Heaven, shall burn for their sins!" Continued the other.
Giant pillars of fire were suddenly summoned, covering the entire battlefield in flames.
"Those two...seriously." Said Sienna with a hand on her forehead. "To think they'd become religious nutjobs..."
"Then, allow my other version to cut them down." Declared Adam. "They have tainted the name of the White Fang."
"Some real drama within your group of terrorists, uh?" Joked Roman.
"From the looks of it, Adam is the calm one of the three." Analyzed Weiss. "Mercury seems to be the laid back one, and Jaune the kind one."
"I think they cover their weaknesses well!" Commented Ruby. "It's nice to see that in another world, maybe we could have been allies."
"..." Ozpin thought a bit about it. "Then... would that mean that Salem was good in that other world?"
Perhaps fate though it would be funny to revert her back to how she used to be.
Even when he was in front of fire, Jaune remained strong.
"For the people, I must stay strong." He declared.
"Brothers, please tell the troops to stay behind, we cannot allow them to enter this dangerous field of flames." Ordered the blonde boy.
"I shall head back to send the message, Mercury, please support our brother in this battle!" Said Adam as he retreated.
"Finally, some thrill in battle! I'm looking forward to this!" He said with excitement.
"A two versus two battle? This ought to be good!" Said Mercury with excitement.
"You sure love to battle in that world." Commented Emerald.
"We believe in you fearless leader! You can do this!" Cheered Nora.
"He's one of the main characters in this scene, so he is going to win either way." Pointed out Blake.
"You know? I do wonder how the three of us ended up meeting." Wondered Jaune.
"That's true, you guys seem so different!" Agreed Ruby.
"Given the fact they are sworn brothers, chances are they've known each other for a while now." Pointed out Qrow.
"Both of you shall perish under the guidance of Heaven!" The Albain brothers said as they unsheathed their daggers.
Mercury and Jaune rushed forward while dodging the pillars of flame.
Jaune saw as a fireball was shot at him, which he dodged out of the way.
Mercury continued forward but was then met with a gust of wind which sent him backwards.
Jaune raised his greatsword in front of him, which Mercury then used to boost himself right back.
Mercury then kicked Corsac, however the two brothers blocked the attack by using their daggers together.
Jaune started rushing, Mercury couldn't press on and decided to fall back. This time, Jaune then slammed his sword onto where Fennec was supposed to be.
Yet the faunus was nowhere to be found as he was now behind Jaune, ready to cast a fireball.
The fireball never came.
Confused Fennec looked around only to see that Mercury had smashed the cauldron which contained all the magical properties for them to use magic.
Jaune then slashed his great sword and created a cut on Fennec's chest.
Corsac who was about to run towards Jaune was met with a kick to the back of his neck, knocking him down.
Fennec tried to stand up, however, Jaune was right in front of him.
"What can you truly do for the future? We were the ones who could change this corrupted land, yet you decided to cut us down!" Spat Fennec with distaste.
"I will end this chaos with those who choose to follow me." Jaune declared.
"You fool... the Romee dynasty is doomed.." Coughed Fennec. "You will simply add more chaos to the land..."
"If that's the case... then tell me, what do you achieve by making more people suffer?" Asked Jaune. "This chaos may never end, however, all I want is to reduce the pain of the people."
"That includes you." Smiled Jaune.
"W-what?"
"The path of heaven will only salvage those who follow it, but I wish to save everyone, human and faunus alike."
"Please, cast aside your ideology, and look at the people around you, was this what you truly wished for?" He said as he then moved his hand to show the peasants in fear of the Albain brothers.
"Run now, run with your brother and hide, I know you can change." He finished.
Fennec looked at Corsac, who was grunting. He then grabbed his brother and piggybacked him. "Thank you... my lord, I will come back one day... to repay you." He said as he slowly stumbled and escaped.
"Are you sure about this? You won't be getting the reward for getting the head of both." Asked Mercury.
"The fact that you didn't object was enough proof that you believe in me." Said Jaune. "I know Adam would be happy for what I have done, after all, we've all had our own agonies, and I don't want him to see me kill two faunus who wished for change."
Mercury chuckled. "Well, if we want to change this land, we ought to do it in an interesting way as well."
The room then turned back to white.
"Wow, that was a cheesy line of a good guy." Said Roman as he broke the tension. "He's a real goody two shoes."
"..." Remained Adam in silence.
"I'll admit, that kid is indeed what we wish to seek in humans." Commented Sienna. "If all humans were like him, we wouldn't have needed to use violence."
"Your speech was great Jaune, I can see that you've made the Albain brothers change their ways." Complimented Blake.
Knocks on the door could be heard.
Jaune decided to be the one to go and open, he then saw Kleine.
Before Kleine could say anything, Weiss decided to ask. "Is this about us having to always come back to continue this viewing?"
"Oh no! This one isn't like that!" He responded. "The other one was simply cut from a continuing scene, this one on the other hand, is a section isolated from a continuous timeline."
"So basically, this is a scene, while what the other's went through was an act?" Said Qrow.
"If you put it that way, then yes." Answered Kleine. "Well, the reason I came here was because these few people asked quite a bit to see you."
Blake's parents, Taiyang, Raven, Sun, Neptune, Ironwood and Winter stood at the other side.
"Dad!" Called Ruby as she then hugged her dad.
"How have you been? Hope this place has been nice to you." Asked Taiyang.
"Yes! This place is really cool!" She responded.
"O-oh! Sister! It is a pleasure meeting you again!" Spoke Weiss.
"Yo Jimmy, nice meeting you here!" Greeted Qrow. "Same to you as well Tai... and sis."
Yang glared at her mother.
"Dad? Mom?" Whispered Blake.
"Blake, sweetie, it's so good to see you again." Said Kali as she hugged her daughter after so long.
Blake didn't know what to do at this point except accept the hug.
"It's nice to meet you again Weiss." Smiled Winter.
"Well, it seems like a few criminals are here as well." He said as he glanced at Roman and the White Fang.
"I'll leave you to talk then, I'll go back to the reception desk!" Declared Kleine.
"Ozpin, I would like to chat with you regarding this place." Said Ironwood.
"Very well, meet me in a bit, I have a meeting with a fellow coffee lover that I need to attend." Responded Ozpin.
"Truthfully, I am curious about these peculiar individuals inside this place, would it be fine for me to meet this person as well?" He requested.
"Sure, I do hope you like black coffee though." He accepted.
Sun then looked at Neptune. "So, you're going to go talk to Weiss then?"
"After she finishes catching up with her sister." He responded.
"Then while you do that! I'll go try to talk to Blake!" He said as he went off with a smile.
"Wait, Sun!" Before Neptune could say anything, he watched as Sun interrupted the reunion between Blake and her family.
"Hey, now that I think about it, shouldn't we talk with the other individuals that are in this hotel?" Asked Ruby.
"Well, it would be nice, but there's that pervert who keeps ogling at us." Said Yang with annoyance.
"Oh? Pray tell who this pervert is." Inquired Qrow with a dangerous look on his face.
Taiyang nodded, curious as to which lecherous person was looking at his daughter the wrong way.
"Some kid named Issei, dunno what's his deal, but at the very least he hasn't tried anything." She responded.
"Mmm, I think I'll give this boy a visit then, just so Tai doesn't have to come and do it himself." Uttered Qrow.
Unfortunately, Issei would be chased by Qrow and Taiyang for a few hours around the hotel.
(A/N)
This one sort of filler in a way, I realized that reaction fics are far harder than I thought, the main problem is to keep a bit of diversity on the content as well try to make the reactions as accurate as possible, I could just make it so that it's all the same until the end, but given the fact that I made a crossover with other characters, I need to make sure there's a decent amount of diversity when it comes to which characters interact with which.
Speaking of which, we are going back to reacting to Sunny as Yi Sang next, since right now it's what I would call the important bit.
This was based after Dynasty Warriors, and it's sort of a little sneak peek without showing any actual plot of The Grimm Emperor.
That story will have a lot of elements from ROTK, but it's still its own thing since a lot changes.
Aside from all that, I will mention this, my fanfic ideas will be important, but not to the point they are mandatory to read, quite the opposite as they are yet to be written or published. What I mean is that there will be many common elements through the other versions of the reacted as they are based more on a version I made of the characters rather than the canon one.
Now, something interesting is the fact that there is a scrapped arc that would have happened in the future.
This is due to the fact that I was planning to add Dynasty Warriors characters here lmao. I know, really wild.
Basically, the main character for the reactions would have been Ma Chao, he would have replaced Ishmael, for Kleine's list of character selves, it would have been "Self shaped by delusions", just as Sunny is "Synthesized Self".
Certain relations and changes if Ma Chao replaced Ishmael would have been him being a little gremling alongside Don Quixote due to their craziness regarding justice. Aside from that, he would have been the more proactive trouble maker compared to Don, which means he would be continuously butting heads with Vergilius.
As for the Canto's story, rather than Ahab gaslighting, it is Liu Bei putting the blame on himself solely. The other Tiger Generals (Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun) would have replaced characters by the following way, of course, the personalities wouldn't have been the same and instead would have been changed quite a bit.
Ahab: Liu Bei
Queequeg: Zhao Yun
Starbuck: Guan Yu
Pip: Zhang Fei
Stubb: Huang Zhong
It would have been a tale about accepting that blaming others for your shortcomings wasn't the way to do things, Ma Chao would have learned that the fall of Shu was all because of his arrogance alongside the others.
In this scenario, Ma Chao would have indeed killed Liu Bei.
The Middle would have still existed, instead of Ricardo (Yu Jin, thought tbh, Yu Jin feels like someone who would have been part of The Thumb), the Middle would have been completely composed out of Wei officers in that version, Ma Chao mentioning Pang De to make the sinners able to enter the nightclub, Smee would probably have been Zhong Hui. The Indigo Elder would have probably been Lu Bu. While the Palid What wouldn't have been a monster, but rather a location, specifically Hanzhong.
No Wu characters because they legit cease to have any relevance after in Dynasty Warriors.
But that's all the scrapped content for Ma Chao had he been added alongside the other characters into this fic, since he's not coming, I will try finding a replacement.
I actually have Heathcliff, Don Quixote and Meursault planned, though this will 100% change after their Cantos come out, since this is all based on what I expect their cantos to be.
At the same time, I can say that all the current characters added (their main character in the reactions) already have a Canto decided for them except Issei, for Issei I am either going for Hong Lu or Ryoshu.
But if neither of them convince me, I am actually going to try my own original Canto, all based on an actual short story while also adding a few references to an arc in While My World Shatters.
If you haven't realized, Sunny will have a few tiny references to a certain book, just as each Sinner references one, but to a lesser extent.
Edit: Heatcliff's Canto is cooked to perfection, I will be using his Canto for a character, however, the entire plot will derail from it due to it not making sense for the character, that being said, many of its characteristics will still be present as they fit the main idea I had.
Be prepared to see one of the wildest crossovers in your life with this character, because I literally just mixed him into the stories of the Sengoku Era and Demon Slayer.
Those who have seen my "Story Status" work in Wattpad probably know who this is.
And that should be all, I'll see y'all next update.
