JAUNE ARC'S END Location the RWBYverse, Remnant-Vale, Some Random Motel
It been a couple hours, since the inexperienced Jaune Arc, has obtained his fake transcripts. In order to enroll in Beacon, and finally become a hero. Just like his ancestors. He sat down on a green covered bed, on a average, brown and beige motel room. It was cheap, allowing him to mentally prepare himself for Beacon. He was nervous. Especially since he hasn't any sort of formal training, hoping that Beacon could take the slack, and teach him all he needed. As for his looks. Jaune, he is a tall young man with fair skin, blond hair and dark-blue eyes. He is quite toned, having strong muscles in his arms, shoulders, and upper chest. Jaune is wearing a black short-sleeved hoodie with detached reddish-orange sleeves and a dark brown image of the bunny rabbit Pumpkin Pete trimmed in white with cute black round eyes. Covering his hoodie and hiding the Pumpkin Pete symbol is a white diamond-shaped chest plate cut off above his lower abdomen, and placed over his shoulders are a pair of white spaulders with rerebraces set under them. Below, he wears blue jeans with a white patch placed on the left knee and black sneakers which have "left" and "right" written in black on the respective shoes' soles. Just when, Jaune was about to lay down, and rest. Something broke through the window, blasting window shard, all over the room. Scaring Jaune, as he'd shrieked like a girl. As a red object, stretched out and wrapped itself around Jaune's left leg. And before he'd realized what was happening, this thing that looks like a very long, red sash, it pulled him out the window. Slamming him onto the beige rugged floor, covered in glass.
As Jaune went out the window. Screaming in terror. As he was pulled up to the roof of the motel, and thanks to whiplash, he'd smashed hard against the cement roof. Groaning in pain, ad Jaune swore one of his ribs, got buster. He was in soo much pain, that he'd didn't notice the red open jacket wearing guy. Laharl, wasted a couple of hours to track down, this wimp. Honestly if it wasn't for plot-armor, Ozpin's stupidity, and Pyra's miniscule training. Jaune, should have died, day one of entering Beacon. Don't get it wrong, as anime, cartoon, and novel fan. Laharl was all for the weakling character, growing and developing into a cool character. Look at Asta from Black Clover, or Midoriya Izuku from My Hero Academia...even if they did Deku, dirty in the end... They are perfect examples, heck the beginning of Naruto was like that...until, he started spamming rasenguns and kyuubi crap... Jaune, while a popular and unpopulated character, depending the RWBY fan. Jaune didn't have a good quality, beside being knightly like. He was generic, and honestly if not for the writers, trying to make him more compelling, Jaune should have died, not Pyra. That would made a bigger impact, and development for Ren, Nora, and Pyra. As Laharl waited for a moment for the wimp, to stop whining...after thirty minutes, Laharl, he had enough. Walked over to Jaune, and smashed his fist beside his head, making a huge hole, next to the blond wimp. Doing it's job, and shutting up, Jaune. Laharl backed away, and started talking, "Jaune Arc. The youngest male, and blacksheep of the Arc family." his words, really piercing Jaune's fragile hearts. As Laharl continues to speak. Saying, "Pathetic in everyway. No formal training. No beginner level huntsman education. No aura. No special talent, like his older and youngest sisters."
Jaune felt a raincloud, was pouring down on his head. As gloom and depression sinked in. Laharl finished speaking, by saying, "After a stupid, argument with you're parents...which were quite possibly right, by the way. (again causing more damage, to Jaune, as he'd groaned, making Laharl chuckle, as he'd continued) So you went against your parents' advice. Came to Vale, illegally got transcripts of graduate a huntsmen-in-training school, all to pursue a unrealistic goal. Am I missing anything, suicidal moron?" Jaune, he'd tried to defend himself. And spew pathetic excuses, and sob stories. That didn't impress one bit. Laharl, he once again shut up, the wannabe knight. Telling him, that he'll give Jaune one of three choices. One he gives up, returns home and apologize to his family, and live his simple life in peace. Hearing this made Jaune, tighten his gloved fists. He then said the second option, which is Jaune could run or try to sneak into Beacon behind, his back, which case Laharl will contact the authorities. Getting Jaune arrested, blacklisted from any huntsmen affiliated organizations or installation. And shame his family, causing them greater pain and embarrassment. These word affected Jaune, as he'd picture his dad, mom, and sisters, crying about such a situation happening. But he didn't want to let go of his dream, to be protected by someone else, he wants to be the one that protect!!!
Tightening his fists again. As Laharl, he'd mentioned the last option. And that is to fight him, and win. Jaune, he has a serious face. Standing up, and getting into a sloppy fighting stance. With his fists, weakly up and in guard. Laharl, he sighed...as he'd heard Jaune, babble like a bad Shonen anime protagonist, that he'll fight with everything, for his dream. Again Jaune, he'd choice himself over how his family feels. If not for luck, and having better skilled teammates, Jaune would have died long ago. Not wasting time, and losing the desire to kill this whimp, Laharl, he rushed in. Sweeping the legs of Jaune, making his trip, and grabbing the next and right leg of Jaune. In honor of one of the biggest GOATs in villain roster of DC. Laharl, he'd utterly destroyed Jaune back over his knee. Jaune screamed!!! As pain surged through his body, and then suddenly Jaune, lost all feeling on his legs. Laharl, he'd tossed him to the ground. Looking down at the broken, and now crippled, wannabe knight. Kneeling beside Jaune, touching his chestplate, placing a magical seal on him.
Laharl explained that while in canon, he was big name. That was thanks to plot armor. In this version of RWBY, he is more of detriment to everyone. A person that will cause issues, and trouble to his teammate, if Jaune only chosen a peaceful, life in the background...poking on his useless legs, as Laharl said, "You'd be able to use your legs, now I place a seal on you. You'll won't be able to tell anyone what really happened to you, and if by any semblance or operation, you'd regain you're legs. And try this crazy and delusional stunt of being a hero, I'll tell me. And I'll perform another Bane Batbreaker on you, over and over until you understand...(grabbing the hair, of a weeping Jaune)...you're. Not. Him!! So stop with this hero bullshit!!!" Letting Jaune go. And making a teleportation circle, under the crippled knight, teleporting him to the Vale police station...or whatever is the equal to police in RWBY. Having finished his task on Vale, he'd teleported away. Maybe he'll convince Ozpin to make a super team. Composed of Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Ren, Nora, and Pyra, a thought for the future...as he'd too teleported away.
AGENTS OF SALEM Location the Remnant-Menagerie: Kuo Kuana
Week later. After Laharl returned, telling his friends and girls that he'd crippled Jaune Arc. Sona shuke her head. At least Laharl didn't kill the weakling. Kneesocks and Caulifla suggested that he'd should have kill the blond idiot. But he'd responded, that after meeting him, Jaune was soo pathetic in Laharl's eyes, that he wasn't worth killing. Plus, at least now he'll be with his family...after they scold him, for being a idiot. As they all laughed at Laharl's comment. Also Laharl once he'd caught Blake. He suggested that she goes to Beacon, to not only promote the new, prosperous era of faunus. But gain influence and knowledge that can help, the faunus in the future. The cat faunus, she thought about Laharl's suggestion, and agreed with it. She'd thanked him, for the advice, and promised that the new faunus nation, will be greatly promoted. And she'll try to gain more members, that have huntsmen training to join Neohaven.
Making Laharl laugh, at the cool black cat-girl, excitement. He wrapped his arm over her shoulder, and whispered to her human-ear, "Don't worry, I'll put a good word with Ranma. He'll go help, you whenever you need, just call Blake." his words having the wanted affect. Of making the cool girl, blush and become flustered. As he obviously known of Blake, becoming close to the Anything Goes Style practitioner. Laharl, left Blake, bright red on the face. But Blake didn't deny it...plus, Kneesocks and Sona has been using mind magic, to make her more open of her desires. Okay with a harem. And she already likes both genders, she is shoe-in for Ranma relationship, especially since the martial artist-devil, isn't afraid of cat anymore. As that happened, amongst the young devils and faunus. Two individuals have made landfall onto Menagerie, at the land of Kuo Kuana. One being a tall, bulky man, Hazel Rainart. The other wearing a hood to cover his appearance, but from the tail, slithering, underneath the cover. It was Tyrian Callows. Both loyal agents of Salem, sent to huntdown, and eliminate the high-ranking members and scientists of the devils.
Tyrian was overly excited in facing and killing these devils. Especially when they dared to use a name, associated with the Goddess. While Hazel, ever the calm and stoic figure, he was only hoping for a decent challenge. As a avid for strength, he'd respected true strength. And if these devils, don't possess the strength that he considers commendable, than the merciful thing, is to kill these devils, quickly and painlessly. As Hazel looked at his partner, the scorpion faunus, Tyrian, he hopes the fanatical beast, can contain his bloodlust enough to arrive at this Neohaven, without problems. Regardless, Hazel told Tyrian to "come on" and they made their way through the vastly improved, port city of Kuo Kuana. With speedboats, better houses and structures, even a floating platform, for depth fishing was build, off the deeper side of the shore. Not only were there a couple of drones, and walkers. Hundred upon hundreds of those blue penguins creatures, called prinnies helping the faunus with their businesses and more. But in truth, while they'd might think that they'd stealthily entered Menagerie. Devils and prinnies have immediately recognized two of the major antagonists of the RWBYverse. Reporting it to Neohaven.
INTRUDERS CAUGHT Location Menagerie-Neohaven
A while later. After traveling with crowds into Neohaven. Both would be, assassin were impressed at the changes done on the once, blazing desert. As no single Grimm, was spotted throughout the trip to Neohaven. They were about to start, searching and investigating the devil small kingdom, all to identify their targets. Once they managed to subtlely leave the group of these faunus. Going deeper in this advance, small city. Filled with certain force, similar to Lady Salem, herself. With a abundance of devils, prinnies, and faunus wandering around and occupied with various tasks, around the place. When suddenly both Hazel and Tyrian were attacked, by a energy balls of pinkish-magenta and gold, and scarlet. Blasting the ground, and Tyrian barely managed to dodge. While Hazel, he was hit. Sent flying into a invisible barrier-line that has been erected around them. Tyrian, he tossed aside his cloak. With a swipe of his arms, a pair of folding blades attached to Tyrian's bracers, his main weapons known as the Queen's Servants, and his scorpion tail at the ready. While Hazel's sleeves and arms were burned. Hazel was forced to immediately activate his semblance, Numbing Agent, that rendered him insensitive to pain. Allowing him to handle the damage that he'd just suffered from the surprise attack, by whom struck him and Tyrian.
In the air were their attackers. Two devil-winged girls. One with red skin, horned, light blue spiky, ponytail haired, glasses wearing girl. Wielding a black scythe with a gold edge. This is Kneesocks Daemon. Beside Kneesocks was a shirtless, bra showing, scarf wearing. Blue spiky, long antennae haired girl. Wielding a massive sword, this is Ruby Riotte. When the prinnies and devils at Kuo Kuana, contacted Laharl and Sona, these two offered themselves to take out, Tyrian Callows and Hazel Rainart. As the fight was about to start...
