[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

[AndrewJTalon]

Isabel and Jaune are chatting a bit over tea and cookies.

Isabel: "You are doing pretty well in your classes... Though you did very poorly at the start!"

Jaune: sighs "Yeah, I did. Mainly because someone didn't let me study or train to be a Huntsman!"

Isabel: flush "... Parents do make mistakes... But honestly, could you fault me for wanting to protect my baby boy and want him to be safe and helping the world?"

Jaune: "... Kind of, yeah?"

Isabel: crushed, depressed, super gloomy

Jaune's Brain: Oh shit I said that out loud! "N-No, I mean... Mom, I get why you wanted me to be a doctor and all! But Mom... That's not what I wanted. I wanted to be a hero, like you and Dad! And I know it's gonna suck and I know you want through a lot but... You went through that to save other people. And that's what I want to do, too."

Isabel: "Well... Um... I get that. And... Well... You can handle yourself. Somewhat well..."

Jaune: "I'll get better, I promise. Besides... You can't protect me forever."

Isabel: sighs "That is true. Still... You were so reckless!"

Jaune: "Yeah, I know."

Isabel: sighs "I had hoped you would take more after me, but you took after your father."

Jaune: "Mom, you literally overthrew a government in a violent revolution."

Isabel: blush "W-Well, um... It was the right thing to do?"

Jaune: "Uh huh."

Pyrrha: "AHEM."

Pyrrha, Ruby, Yang, Blake, Weiss, Nora and Ren are there. Glaring at Isabel.

Isabel: "... Something I can help you with?"

Ruby: "Yeah! You made Jaune want to hurt himself!"

Pyrrha: "You made him contemplate suicide!"

Yang: "He thought he was worthless and had no chance in his life!"

Isabel: "HE WHAT?! YOU WHAT?!"

Jaune: "NO! Nonono, it's fine, it's fine! It uh, it was um-!"

Isabel: hugs him tightly "MY POOR BABY! YOU WERE SUFFERING ALL THIS TIME IN SILENCE AND I FAILED TO NOTICE! I'M SO SORRY, SWEETIE! UWAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Jaune's Brain: Me and my big mouth...!

Understand this is the first time I've written dialog, so bear with me as it's a little rough. It's even rougher than most since I don't have an editor so this is all just me. However, while I would normally say go easy on me, I need to get better at this kind of thing; so long as it's not mean spirited, tear this "One-shot" to shreds. Without further ado I give you:

Canon RWBY meets "In The Family Way" RWBY

Somewhere in the Commercial District of Vale

A bright flash of light emerges from an empty alley, in its wake is a disoriented OG Team RWBY, having just traveled dimensions once more.

"Eugh, I don't think I'll ever get used to that," Blake says, leaning into the alley wall and trying her best not to empty her stomach from the smell of the dumpster nearby.

"Tell me about it. Any idea where we're now?" Weiss responds, equally repulsed by where they've arrived.

"Pretty sure we're in Vale," Yang explains, pointing off to Beacon Castle in the distance. "Guess your minds still a bit mushy after all that flirting you did with cowboy Jaune eh Ice Queen?"

"Why you! How Dare! Urgh!," Weiss stumbles out, embarrassed by the notion that she a Schnee would stoop to such levels of depravity…though he did look quite mature, she thinks to herself before quickly parishing the thought. Unfortunately, not quick enough if Yang's knowing grin is anything to go by. "Oh just you wait Xiao-Long, in one of these realities is going to an Arc that gets you as flustered as me!"

"First off, good on you for finally being honest with yourself, and secondly, in your dreams ice queen. I'll admit that Raptor Jaune was pretty cool, and Cowboy Jaune was fairly handsome, but most of the other Jaunes we've met have been normal as far as our Jaune goes. So no, I don't think you'll be seeing me getting flustered by a Jaune anytime soon."

"Carefully what you wish for Yang," Blake sarcastically retorts.

Before Yang can retort, they are interrupted by an ecstatic Ruby holding up her scroll.

"Okay, Team RWBY thanks to your glorious leader having planned ahead in the previous reality, I have just finished successfully hacking into this world's version of my scroll. With that information we can use it to find this world's version of us, get them up to speed on what's happening, hopefully prevent any future catastrophes, and be one step closer to finding our Jaune!"

"When did you have the time to do this?" says a confused Weiss.

"A couple realities ago, when I linked up with Penny, she suggested that this would be the most efficient way of going about things going forward. I didn't use it until now because we weren't ever near a powerful enough CCT connection for it to work properly."

Ruby bashfully shrugs while Weiss gives an exasperated sigh.

"So what did you find out?" asks a curious Blake.

"Oh!" says Ruby as she pulls out her scroll again. "It says here that I have a pretty packed schedule today. Something about grocery shopping for Yang while she's at the doctor's. I guess this world's Yang is sick with something though it looks like a routine check-up given how I've labeled it. Other than that, based on the texts, our others are all over the place today."

"With our others spread out to Breaker knows where, it will be tremendously difficult to find and explain our situation to ourselves before the portal inevitably opens up and we need to leave again," states a concerned Weiss.

"Cool, so all we gotta do is split up and look around," pipes up Yand before snickering, "I guess you could say that's one way to find ourselves."

"UGH!" groans the rest of Team RWBY.

"Yang's awful puns aside, I don't think splitting up would be the best idea, there's no telling how different this world is to our original for all we know, despite what it says on Ruby's scroll, we could be wanted criminals," says Weiss after getting over terrible jokes.

Yang scoffs, "You got a better idea Weissy, cause it's not like we're just gonna conveniently bump into one of ourselves right off the street."

Before Weiss can retort, they hear a squeak from Ruby, and as they turn to look at her, become shocked by what they see. Ruby, wanting to get out of the smelly alley, bumps into a familiar-looking Blonde Swordsman of theirs.

"Not one word," says a disgruntled Yang to a smug looking Weiss.

Back with Ruby and the now identified Jaune of this reality, we see him apologize for bumping into her, not noticing at first that this is Ruby.

"Oh! I am so sorry I didn't see you there. Kinda got lost in thought for a second," Jaune says abashedly while rubbing the back of his neck, "Here let me help you…Ruby?"

"Oh ah hey Jaune fancy meeting you here now huh," Ruby says awkwardly.

"Yeah, fancy meeting you here too, but aren't you supposed to be with Nora and Ren making sure they don't go overboard when buying this week's groceries?" questions Jaune, "Did you finish early? Cause if you've got nothing planned for right now, I could always use a hand for some of the stuff on my list, and besides it's been a while since just the two of us hung out with me being busy these past couple of months and all."

"Yup, that sounds great Jaune, but before that I've got something I need to tell you, just promise not to freak out, okay," pleads a nervous Ruby as she gestures to the rest of OG Team RWBY.

"Why would I…Oh hey guys what are you all … doing … here?" Jaune begins to trail off after seeing a very different Yang before him.

"What's wrong, Vomit Boy? I know I'm quite stunning, but even this is a bit much." teases OG Yang.

Jaune remains silent despite OG Yang's teasing as OG Yang and the rest of OG Team RWBY become increasingly more worried for their friend's well-being as he stands near motionless before them. However, before they try to shake Jaune out of his stupor, he slowly and apprehensively approaches OG Yang. OG Team RWBY remains where they are, curious as to what this world's Jaune does next, but ready if he does anything untoward to their teammate. Jaune having reached OG Yang hesistantly places a gentle hand on her stomach and starts tapping on it with his palm as if testing for something that he knows should be there but isn't. After having confirmed that what he is seeing or in this instance not seeing is true, Jaune slowly backs away and his hands start to shake, his breath quickening, and eyes darting quickly along his surroundings fully taking in his friends appearances for the first time.

"You know, you really should buy a girl dinner first before you start to get handsy with her," Yang says, breaking the silence before pointing to her stomach, "But I've got a gut feeling that something more is going on here. So tell me what's going on Jaune cause you're starting to scare me a little."

This seems to break Jaune out of his funk, "OH! Oh! Ohhhhh! Uhhhhh!" Looks at OG Yang and the rest of OG Team RWBY staring back at him expectantly, "excuse-moi une minute."

OG Team RWBY watches Jaune walk away for a second and start fiddling with his scroll. After a moment or two, it picks up and from behind Jaune they can hear other Yang's voice on the other end of the call, but not so much what she's saying.

"Hey Honey, It's me…Yeah…No no it's nothing serious just curious is all if you're still at your check-up?... Uh huh…Yeah, I had a feeling listen it's nothing you need to worry about right now, but if and when you have the time, could you and Pyrrha gather the rest of our teams and meet me in Ozpin's office? Again, nothing major, but I just feel it would be best to explain everything once everyone is together, you understand right?" Jaune says to Yang over the phone, "Ah huh…Yeah…I-I'll meet you there…I love you too, see you soon."

"Be honest with me, is this a Nora drank coffee kinda bad or a Nora we're out of Pancakes kind of bad?," Jaune says as he turns back to OG Team RWBY, "Or is it even worse, a Yang got a haircut kind of bad? Breaker help us if it's all three."

"More like a X-ray and Vav issue #123 kind of bad," Ruby responds.

"Oh, so it's a Pyrrha lost the last chocolate pudding cup to someone else kind of bad? Got it," Jaune says back, worry etched into his face, "Well, no time like the present, let's get you all to Ozpin, see if he can't clear all this up." Jaune pulls out his scroll and says, "I'm just gonna make a few more calls to ensure everything is set up for when we get to his office. Quick question, have you guys met my parents yet? Their visiting, so they'll likely be there."

The conversation trails off as Jaune, Ruby, and Weiss discuss the specifics of the upcoming meeting while heading toward the bull-head docks. Blake is hanging back with Yang wanting to check up on her as she's been unnaturally quiet since Jaune's scroll call.

"Yang, you okay?" Blake asks concernedly.

"Huh Wha? Nah I'm good… How are you? That was some pretty weird stuff back there after all," Yang responds, trying and failing miserably to hide her attempts at changing the subject.

Blake looking unamusedly at Yang says, "Really? That's how you're gonna change the subject?"

"Yeah, I'll admit not my best work, but can you blame me? You heard what other Jaune said back there. It's one thing to hear from the other versions of me that they carry somewhat of a torch for him. It's another thing to see a version of me in a relationship with him. I mean, we barely even talked much in our world, all this is pretty surreal, it makes you think what if?" Yangs says despondently.

"Yeah I sorta get what you mean. Infinite universes and infinite possibilities mean that there's bound to be some of them where they end up like this for just about any of us. I'll admit it can all be a little overwhelming at times. Wondering about how things might have gone." Blake says back.

"How do you deal with it?" Yangs asks.

"I don't. Yang, if there's one thing I've learned after all this time, it's that living in the past and wondering what you should have done doesn't help you much in the present. Introspection is nice once-in-a-while, but if you're constantly judging things about yourself you'll lose sight of who you are now. Could you and Jaune have been a thing in our world? I don't know, but you can't change what is, only what will be." Blake replies to a still distressed Yang, "Listen, if you're that worried about it, try talking to Ruby or Weiss, or even this world's Jaune, expand your perspective, maybe that'll help."

"Gee aren't you a bucket full of wisdom?" Yang says sarcastically.

"Hehe, now you see why I became a Huntress not a therapist." Blake jokes back.

This world's Jaune and OG Team RWBY eventually make their way to Beacon proper and ascend to Ozpin's office, meeting with the Headmaster, the Vice Headmistress, and two people who introduce themselves as Jaune's parents. They explain the situation, giving as much info as possible to the nature of Salem in their world, how things went, why they ended up here, and so on. While this happens, Yang takes Blake's advice and asks Jaune if they could talk away from everyone. Jaune, though reluctant at first, wanting to hear all that Ruby was talking about, agrees once he sees the seriousness in Yang's eyes and moves aside with her.

"So… you wanted to talk?" Jaune says, steeling himself for conversation ahead.

"Huh, still getting used to these versions of you," Yang nervously responds under her breath.

Jaune thinks for a moment, rubbing the back of his neck, before saying, "Listen if this is about what you heard me say to your alternate over the scroll earlier…"

"No, no, it's fine I just wasn't expecting that is all," Yang quickly interrupts, "I mean we barely even talked back in my reality so it's just a little you know."

"Really? Not even a little?" Jaune says despondently.

Seeing Jaune's noticeable distress, Yang quickly says, "I mean it's not like we weren't friends or anything… we were just… um." Her face did little to help dig herself out of the hole she's placed herself in.

Both are quiet for a minute before Jaune asks, "So are motorcycles still your thing or …?"

There's a pause from Yang before she starts laughing, and not long after Jaune starts laughing too, "Wow, you are just that awkward in every dimension huh Vomit-boy?" Yangs asks, a slight smile in her grin.

"Hehe, wouldn't be me if I wasn't, ain't that right Spitfire?" Jaune responds, a bright smile etched onto his face.

Upon hearing that nickname Yang flushes a bit, turning away slightly, hoping that this coupled with the slight redness to her face from laughing earlier is enough to cover it up.

Jaune seeing this flushes a bit himself, turning away slightly to give her the courtesy of the idea that he doesn't notice her flushing before becoming serious once more and saying, "Look, I understand all this is very confusing and overwhelming for you, but I just want to assure you that I'm not expecting anything."

"Wait, what?" Yang asks, confused.

Jaune gently takes her hand in his, "I'm saying that I know that you're not my Yang, that you've lived an entirely different life from her and that your relationship with your world's version of me is just as different. So I'm not going to ask you, pressure you, or even force you to be with that version of me just because you're with me here in this world. How you wish to spend your life is entirely up you whether you decide to spend it with me as a lover, a friend, something more, or just nothing at all I would accept it because at the end of the day your happiness is all that matters to me," he let's go of her hand and begins to nervously rub the back of his neck, "That being said, if I could ask anything of you it would be to at least be there for me, I know it's a bit hypocritical of me to ask that of you after everything I just said, but… everyone deserves to have someone like you in their lives."

Yang scoffs dismissively at the idea that somebody like her is exactly what everyone needs in their lives, "Yeah, sure they do, and what could someone like me possibly give them."

Jaune smiles, "Your caring nature, your assurance that you would never abandon them, your fierce protectiveness of the things you hold dear, and, though everyone would want me to say otherwise, your sense of humor."

Yang, taken aback by Jaune's statement, can only say, "You like my puns?"

Jaunes rolls his eyes and thinks, " Of course that's what you latch onto," before responding, "They're hit or miss most of the time, but they're not all bad. However, you do tend to go overboard with a couple of them. Honestly, I think people groan so much at them because you keep using the same ones over and over again, but that's just my opinion."

"Huh, I'll take that into consideration," Yang says contently, "Thanks by the way."

"Oh, for what?" Jaune asks, confused.

"Why, for speaking with me about this, Sir Jaune the Dense," Yang responds teasingly in a voice that sounds all too similar to Weiss's, "Hehe, that being said, there's still one more thing I gotta ask you."

After doing his best to stifle his laughter, Jaune responds, "Anything."

"Why were you touching my stomach earlier? What is the Yang of this reality that much more on the pudgy side of things than me?" Yang asks jokingly.

Jaune tenses for a minute before responding nervously, "Ah… I knew I forgot something, no, the you of this reality is not fat she's just…well you're probably about to see in just a minute."

Before Yang can respond, she hears a choir of voices growing louder nearby. Turning toward the sound, she sees the elevator doors open as the rest of this world's Team RWBY and JNPR arrive in Ozpin's office.

"HEY THERE FEARLESS LEADER, WHOSE LEGS ARE WE BREAKING!" Nora yells excitedly.

"Nora, no, we're not breaking any legs today," pleads a tired Ren.

"I agree with Ren we should wait until Jaune explains the situation before rushing into such things," advises an anxious Pyrrha.

"Well whatever it is it better be worth it, I had to reschedule an appointment for this!" interjects an irate Weiss.

"That's what you're worried about?" Blake responds judgingly.

"Oh please Kit-Kat you're just mad we interrupted your 'private' reading time," Yang teasingly retorts.

"Jaune, we got your message, what's going on?" asks a concerned Ruby.

As they all step out of the elevator, Jaune points to OG Yang and the rest of her team. This elicits several reactions from everyone, but none so great as OG Yang when she sees herself.

"AM I PRE-!" Yang exclaims before being interrupted by Jaune.

"Pretty beautifully plump with our children, yes, you are!" Jaune says in both an excited yet equally nervous tone, "So as you can see, this you is not fat she's just got a bun or two in the oven."

"I'M HAVING TWINS!" OG Yang screams.

Yang deadpans to Jaune then looks back to her other self saying, "Ignore my husband, he just can't wait to have another batch, but no it's not twins it's just the one though we're hoping to have more in the future so twins aren't entirely out the picture yet."

"I'M MARRIED!" OG Yang yells, becoming even more distressed.

"Yes, I mean, no, I mean…look we haven't done an official wedding yet we're waiting until after the baby is born to go through with it," Yang tries to explain.

OG Yang barely hears this having fully shut down before finally collapsing unconscious to the floor.

"Nice one honey," Jaune remarks jokingly.

"Oh please, this is your fault for not warning her!" retorts an irate Yang.

The Emerald Forrest was lovely this time of year. Cool enough to be comfortable but not so cold that you had to have a jacket.

Perfect weather for sending out a bunch of kids to practice the art of slaughter.

Jaune Arc was enjoying the Beacon entrance exam, and why wouldn't he? He had a nice breakfast, he had his jacket and scalpels, his partner wasn't boring (and a lightning physical enhancement semblance? There's interesting potential for development there), and best of all He was about to perform medicine.

Were his partner anyone else than Nora Valkyrie the wide grin and crazed glint in the shaggy haired giant would have scared them off.

But his partner WAS Nora. So she just got excited. So the two of them tore through the Forrest scalpels flying in every direction and trees falling with thunderous crashes.

"So Zaps what do you know about medicine?"

"It taste bad and it's expensive ."

"A fair assessment, but not what I was going for."

Here Jaune stopped Nora from crushing a Beowolves head with a casual grip of her hammer head. The beast was already disabled by the 40 or so scalpels sticking into it. And he wanted to show her something cool.

"A lot of medicine is made out of the sickness it treats. Molds and Bacteria and poisons repurposed to benefit humanity."

Jaune stuck his finger inside one of the wolves many many wounds and let his semblance activate.

Flesh flowed like a liquid and bones moved like molasses taking a new form following a blueprint in the mad doctors mind. And soon a new monster stood before them.

It was shorter than the wolf had been and thinner but judging how it's feet were digging into the ground it was also a lot heavier. The spikes and bone plating were mostly gone only covering the hands and feet like clawed boots and gloves, a long with a featureless bone white mask.

"Wow what's that?"

"Medicine."

And like the word was a signal the creature shot off into the woods to hunt its former kin.

Jaune allowed himself to feel a flicker of pride at a surgery well done. But he smothered it quickly they had a exam to pass.

After all every doctor needs their certification.

---

So a different mad doctor Jaune. And unfortunately he's paired with the absolute worst choice of a partner for teaching him good habits.

His semblance is basically panacea from worms power with a few small differences and one big one.

He can effect bacteria but he needs at least a vials worth, he can't just just his spit or what's in his skin.

He can however effect himself unlike Amy.

Hence why he's a giant here (just under 9 feet)

Had a idea for a kinda fate/RWBY AU

Where the gods leaving didn't kill all magic just made it go from true magic to being more like magecraft.

Activating Aura gives you a blank class card that tells you your class and it slowly develops as you build your own legend (it doesn't do much. Mostly beacon collects them as a sorta year book or trophy kinda thing. But they are also there to be given to civilians if there's a big Grimm surge into the settlement.)

I was just kinda imagining a scene where the new beacon class is finding out their classes.

"Ruby Rose [assassin] "

"Cool!"

"Yang Xaoi-long [berserker]"

"Yeah seems about right."

"Weiss schnee [caster]"

"To be expected."

"Blake Belladonna [assassin]"

" *Gasp* assassin buddies!"

"Joy."

"Nora Valkyrie [Berserker]"

"Wooo!"

"Lie Ren [Assassin]"

"Lotta assassins in this class"

"Pyrrha Nikos [Caster/Lancer] ?"

"I didn't even know multiclass was a thing!"

"If anyone would be exceptional it's her."

"Jaune Arc....[savior]"

"What kinda class is that?"

---

So just to clarify those last two.

Pyrrha is multi class because of maiden. And I know saber is considered the best of the Knightly classes but she mainly fights as a spearwoman so lancer it is.

And I gave Jaune one of the non-canon classes. Though the only two I remember are savior and Launcher. (These aren't fan made. They're ones that were used I think in oneshots or concepts, though savior was apparently a mistranslation and was supposed to be saber)

I have Jaune that class because his semblance, healing and savior kinda go hand in hand. Plus he's a "outsider" to the huntsmen life (since he didn't get trained) he isn't quite like the others so he gets a class that isn't like the others.


And I'm not going to lie to you. I almost made Blake's class [shitty kitty]


And yes. Adam is a [Avenger]. Wear it like a badge of honor you edgy bitch.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

It was the best birthday Jaune could ever remember experiencing. When he and Yang returned the next morning, holding hands, cuddling and kissing, he didn't think his good mood would ever vanish.

Taiyang: "Good morning Yang!" Maniacal smile, dark tone "Good morning, Jaune."

Yang: "Ah! Oh, uh, h-hey Dad! Um, what brings you here?"

Qrow: "You mean what brings us here." He looms behind Jaune ominously

Jaune's Brain: Oh shit he's Batman!

Jaune: "Uh... H-Hello, Mister Xiao-Long, Mister Branwen. Sirs."

Taiyang: still smiling ominously, he puts a hand on Jaune's shoulder.

Qrow: Puts his hand on Jaune's other shoulder

Taiyang: "We need to have a little chat with your boyfriend here. Won't be long!"

Yang: "Dad, I love him-!"

Qrow: "So we're just gonna have a little chat with him about it!"

Jaune: "It's okay Yang... I've got seven sisters." he smiles "I love you too."

Yang: blush "G-Geez... You gotta be that sincere?"

Jaune: "Yeah. And you're cute when you blush."

Taiyang and Qrow's ire seems to grow. But Jaune smiles and shrugs.

Yang: "... Hurt him and I'll beat both your asses!"

Taiyang: "Yeah yeah..."

The two older men lead Jaune away towards Ozpin's office.

Jaune's Brain: So... Stay cool, stay cool... They have every right to give me the business..."

They enter the elevator, and the doors slide shut.

Qrow: "... You two had sex, didn't you?"

Jaune's Brain: Okay... Um... Coming right out with it... Uh, I need to say something...

Jaune: "Yes."

Jaune's Brain: Craaaaaapppp!

Taiyang: "Qrow, come on. He was honest about it, they're legal, and he's helping us save the world."

Qrow: scowls "Why are you playing good cop? You said you wanted to be bad cop!"

Taiyang: groans "Damnit! I'm so used to being the good cop it just popped out of there!" He scowled and grabbed Jaune's armor "Listen Jaune. From everything I know, you're a good kid."

Jaune: "Yes sir, but she's your daughter and you love her."

Taiyang: "Yes!"

Jaune: "So do I. With all my heart."

Taiyang: "Good! And if you ever break her heart I'll punt you into space! That clear?!"

Jaune: "Yes sir!"

Qrow: "And that's not even getting into what I'll do to you, Kid." grins, holds up a knife

Jaune: gulps "Yes sir..."

Taiyang: "... Why is he the one you're more intimidated by?!"

Jaune: "I'm intimidated by you both, sir?"

Qrow: "Heh! I still got it! Also Kid: We're gonna be doing some training together, you and me! You're still struggling and frankly, you need a trainer who won't go easy on ya!"

Jaune: gulps "... Yes sir?"

Taiyang: "Damnit Qrow! We promised we'd do these things together!"

Qrow: "Oh now it's a we?"

Jaune's Brain: God this elevator is taking so damn long...
