AN: Hello, this will be the next chapter of Watching Jaune Again whilst me in the Philippines experiences an extended lockdown meaning more time to do this or other stuff in my life. I am currently trying to create a new department for a multi-million dollar business so I have less time to do this than what I had originally intended so that I can finish chapters in an efficient manner.

Also it has to do with my writing, the scenario takes me about 5 days to a week to finish but the reaction is thrice or quadruple times as long. That is me being honest about writing one chapter let alone the entire story.

Now let's begin the usual Q and A

1)What is your favorite game or game series?

Shady-kun: For me it is Persona, Ace Attorney, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Fatal Frame, God of War, Monster Hunter, Tekken and Street Fighter because the last two would always be played with friends while the others offered opportunities to have more friends.

Exiled-san: I'm a huge fan of Pokemon plus the Mystery Dungeon series. Been playing it for a long time and hopefully will not stop. Will introduce the games to my kids if I ever have any. Also the Legend of Zelda series. Especially Skyward Sword.

Guikoi-chan: The best answer I have the capacity to give would be either Monster Hunter or Fate, even though Fate isn't only games so I'm not sure if it counts.

Gentleman-san: Hmm. For series I'd have to say the Knights of the Old Republic, Red Dead Redemption, SoulsBorne, Hitman, Devil May Cry, Diablo, Pokemon, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong Country, Kirby and InFAMOUS. Favorite games would be Silent Hill 2, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Paper Mario, Chrono Trigger, Marvel's Spider-Man, The Last of Us, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom Eternal (sweet Satan have I been playing the shit out of this recently), Shadow of the Colossus, Psychonauts and Lost Odyssey.

Composcreator-kun: Very hard question to answer. I'm not as much of a gamer as the others, but I do have my fair share of faves that I like to replay/look back on. Radiant Historia, Ace Attorney Series, Pokemon series is good but I specifically enjoyed Conquest, Halo series, and Xcmon series. Other games I play because I can and enjoy them, but I won't go saying they are favorites.

2)An opinion you hold that may be deemed controversial or insane?

Shady-kun: Evangelion is really, really bad and it isn't deep with horrible characters along with development. The defenders of Evangelion are like the smart asses of Rick and Morty who deny criticism under the guise of not being smart enough to understand. Emergence is horrible to read but a wonderful tragedy to look at and I wanted to be a doctor back then because of all the sex one would get in Gray's Anatomy. I loved how much Kiritsugu in Fate/Zero suffered because he deserved it and I think Your Lie In April is boring and a sadness trap.

Exiled-san. Bumblebee is annoying because their fans are over-obsessive and shouldn't exist in canon if at all. Black Sun is better. Jaune is a good character and doesn't deserve the hate he gets.

Guikoi-san: Art can be objectively critiqued. It can be analyzed, measured and judged objectively. The argument that art is subjective and so bad movies and shows are fine is a weak one and only shows that you have no leg to stand on. Jaune should have gotten a different Semblance, as while he can buff others and heal them, he doesn't appear to be able to actually buff himself from what I've seen. And if he only unlocked his Semblance at Haven, then what he did to Cardin wasn't his Semblance. And if Semblances are based on personality, then they're not concrete until after they're unlocked. If you would get a bad luck Semblance like Qrow but then undergo a growth of character and your personality changes, so long as you haven't unlocked your Semblance it would not be a bad luck Semblance, it would change to match your personality. It only becomes "locked in" and unchanging once it's been unlocked.

Gentleman-san: The RWBY FNDM needs to keep their collective noses out of the writing process. Bumblebee is not all that great and now that it's canon because of the FNDM and the VA's pushing for so long, it makes it seem as if two girls/women can't be close friends without wanting to fuck. It also discards literal seasons of character development and chemistry between Sun and Blake. Also, Jaune Arc is not a terrible character - you just have very generic taste. Without Jaune there'd just be these highly skilled badass Huntsmen and Huntresses, which would get boring quickly. It's fun to see a character gradually improve over time and it's even better when the one improving is not a small child or a generic shounen protagonist. Also, claiming his Miles' self-insert is ridiculous. Self-insertion is something that exists in almost every piece of entertainment you'll find, to some degree. In short, just because he's not some broken, psychotic shell of a human being who didn't see his parents murdered by a cackling madman doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad character by default.

Also, so I'm not just copying others: One Piece's current pacing is just fine, pineapple on pizza is fucking delicious (with ham too? Hot damn is that the stuff) and when you consider what the 1966 Batman series did to Mister Freeze, Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance as Mister Freeze in Batman & Robin should be considered art. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Composcreator-kun: Not really, at least I don't think so. I tend to not know what the mainstream thinking is in the first place.

3)Best crossover for RWBY?

Shady-kun: For me in my opinion the best for new ideas is Persona and you can use either world with the cast of RWBY having different personas where the Grimm are in Remnant sort of like Persona 3 called the Dark Hour. There's many more that can be used like RWBY cast in Persona world where you can place them in events from 1-5 and it opens the SMT universe to them.

Exiled-san: For me it's either the Fate series, Pokemon, Yugioh GX, or Legend of Zelda. Don't read a lot of crossovers.

Guikoi-chan: Gonna have to agree with Exiled on Fate. I already have like 16 different ideas in my head, based on adding different bits of the Nasuverse into RWBY. What if Velber existed? What if the Holy Grail existed? What if all the RWBY characters participated in a Holy Grail War and summoned their future or alternative selves? Lots of things you can do with it. Of course, you would have to nerf Servants immensely for RWBY characters to actually fight them, but it's still possible to make it work.

Gentleman-san: Hunter x Hunter (so many possibilities it's crazy), Star Wars, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Final Fantasy, One Piece, Bloodborne, Spider-Man and Green Lantern.

Anyways hope you enjoy!

The Creator liked how some of his audience was guessing, hopefully they didn't notice the trend that every other version of him liked to make Jaune Arc the main character or the one with the most impact in every scenario. He'd have to talk about that with the other deities managing the other screenings of other versions of Jaune Arc… it was getting too predictable for other audiences.

"Now, now. I'm sure you have your questions. The trailer is meant to be a preview into the future of this particular Jaune. Here we will see his humble beginnings."

Jaune grimaced. "Oh no… I became a criminal… how would my mom and dad react?"

"I think they'd be proud especially if one did so with style." The audience looked to the new arrivals which were Roman and his assistant Neo. The two merely sat down away from everyone as well, since it would be weird to be with the goody two shoes or the one holding a gun to his head.

The Creator chuckled. "Now that our new guests are here, let us begin!"

We find ourselves in a normal looking high school, where in a particular classroom students were looking to see the main event of the day. Crowding around a table with money on the line stood Cardin threatening a timid Jaune who didn't want to look at anyone. "You're dead, make sure you bite down hard."

Pyrrha was annoyed, she didn't like how Cardin was bullying a weaker Jaune. Nora chuckled. "Calm down, momma bear. Jaune will be alright."

The redhead blushed in embarrassment as her teammates snickered at her reaction.

The blonde was sweating, he was nervous… he didn't even want to be in this position let alone face the big bully of their school in a gambling match. It didn't help when Cardin's classmates were rooting for him to win.

"Ahh, don't be scared!"

"Straighten your shoulders man!"

"Make sure you do it properly, if you lose we lose all of our money!"

"We have 3000 Lien riding on this, concentrate!"

One random even slugged him on the shoulder to get him out of his nervous state. "Do you know how many people bet on you here, stop talking nonsense and do it!"

He grit his teeth in pain because that was a hard shot to his appendage. "I'm not really confident, can't I just leave..."

'Should I go for-'

"Rock! Paper! SCISSORS!" Cardin had opened his palm to reveal paper while Jaune had awkwardly made two of his fingers into scissors. Cardin fainted since he lost a lot of money while the class celebrated their victory and earned spoils.

Roman chuckled. "Rock, paper, scissors… what a stupid way to lose all your money by chance."

Cinder nodded her head in agreement. "Quite stupid, indeed."

Sensing that he was no longer needed, the blonde excused himself since he really didn't need the money. With that he ran to where his actual class was since he didn't want to be late for the next lesson.

'My name is Jaune Arc and I'm seventeen. Because of my timid personality, I'm being told what to do even in high school. I'm so pathetic. I really don't like my personality.'

"I'm so sorry..." He ran into his classroom as everyone was getting ready for the test being given out. 'I want to be able to speak out and say I don't want to do something if I don't… I was hoping to be tall… But it seems like 5'2 is the maximum height for my body.'

What people didn't see was Ruby praising the brothers like one would do to the sun, finally she could compete with someone in the height game. Jaune gave a sad smile. "Now I actually like that I became tall and lanky."

Ren frowned. "I feel like this will be another version of Jaune that has little to no confidence for himself."

'If anyone is wondering why I was playing rock, paper and scissors with money on the line is because of the news that believes in my luck. They always call me out for a win because I always win… but there's another reason why I'm so good at this game.'

His eyes turned purple as he looked at the window, staring at the sky since he already had finished the easy test. 'I have a psychic ability. Named the "Eyes of Misfortune" since it shows me the path that would likely make me unfortunate.'

Weiss frowned at the reveal of small Jaune's power. "Not so useless but very uncomfortable to use. What kind of power would cause the user misfortune or more danger and be advantageous?"

Qrow chuckled. "I like this power, if I had it… I would be able to dodge a lot of shitty situations."

Ozpin smiled. "Quite true, you may also be able to predict certain scenarios and avoid them to change one's future in battle. Such a power, it would certainly confuse your enemies to thinking it just works."

The Creator answered quietly to Weiss' question. "Not if it's called Notorious B.I.G."

'With these eyes, I was just making sure which decisions were the one that would make me win without misfortune. So if I avoid those parts properly I don't have to worry about being unlucky or anything. It marks in purple when the decisions are going to be unfortunate.'

He looked at his complete test and sighed. 'There isn't more "unlucky" than a test paper sheet especially from Professor Port. Purple fog would slowly creep over which would be unfortunate however I cannot use this on subjective questions. That relies on my own ability.'

Yang chuckled. "Yeah everyone probably needs that ability when it comes to Port's quizzes."

Ozpin sighed. "Beacon is… understaffed at the moment..."

"You're worried because I'm timid?"

"Why don't you change your hairstyle? Maybe completely buzz your hair." A very beautiful blonde woman named Glynda Alexandrovna Goodwitch was carefully hanging clothes on a foldable metal clothesline. Her white shirt and pink shorts did not hide from her figure as she walked to Jaune who was looking away from her on the couch.

Qrow's eyes widened in shock. "The hell is Glynda doing there."

Tai commented. "Maybe she's the kid's squeeze-"

He was rudely interrupted by a semblance that was taking over a chair from the room and flinging it at the bear of a man. He easily caught it but he knew he saw the angry expression of Glynda.

She growled. "I would never-"

The deputy of Beacon was interrupted by Mercury praising his sex god on his fortunes. This caused her eyebrows to twitch as the ones near her wanted to stay clear of that mess. He wouldn't say it however James was deeply, deeply jealous of Jaune's situation.

He snorted since it was stupid of a suggestion for him to do in a strict high school. "Don't be idiotic, I'll be punished if I did something like that."

She chuckled. "I think it's also stupid for you to be pushed around left and right because you can't properly refuse anyone."

He blushed in embarrassment, she didn't have to say it like that. "W-When did I ever! KYAAAK!"

He yelled in pain as Glynda had tightly pulled both of his cheeks, her forehead showed signs of being pissed. Not to mention the slight grating of teeth. She teased him. "Oh my, then can you say you haven't? Look at me in the eyes properly!"

He tried pushing her hands away from his face as he thought more about Glynda. 'Glynda is a foreign housekeeper that is very rare in Vale. Ten years ago, my father came back from a business trip in Atlas and he told me that she was my surprise gift and brought her here to take care of me… while he's away.'

Summer was surprised. "A beautiful lady as a gift for his son who was very young at the time. What a-"

"What a chad, plain and simple." Qrow interrupted and finished for his teammate.

She brought back something from the kitchen and handed it to Jaune. "I made some strawberry smoothie want to try?"

He looked away from her but she noticed his small smile. "Yeah I'll drink it."

'She has a tough personality but may it be electronics, laundry or cleaning; she's an all arounder that knows how to do everything. Father and Glynda will not tell me what they did before coming here. If there's a flaw about her-'

He looked at the drink to see purple fog surrounding the glass beckoning him that misfortune was here. The strawberry smoothie was colored black and it bubbled weirdly to make it seem like it was alive. 'She is extremely bad at cooking.'

Roman chuckled. "I knew it was too good to be true. Wonder how the kid managed to stay alive after all this time."

Ozpin smiled. "Well it seems that some traits do carry-"

An amazing poker face was established when a riding crop had smacked Ozpin's hand but one could clearly tell that he was in pain. Juniper chuckled. "Ha, sometimes you really have no tact."

"Come to think of it, young master you're done with the test right? What do you want to eat? I'll create anything you want just for this special occasion."

He started to sweat nervously when he noticed her clamp her left hand on his shoulder. He knew she wanted to hear him say that he wanted her food… "I dunno… I don't really have anything I want to eat… Also you're cooking is not that good-"

He nearly jumped out of his seat when he heard something get stabbed near him which clearly meant she heard him say it. She inched closer to him like a lion stalking a wounded gazelle. On her right hand was half an apple impaled on a jack knife. "Here young master say ahn~~~"

Raven chuckled at the obvious threat. "I remember doing that with a full apple on Summer."

Her teammate pouted since it was a bad memory for her. "Never again… never again."

He tried to placate her. "I-I… especially don't want to eat an apple on a jack knife."

She sighed and backed off, she still waved the apple around which still frightened him. "Then let's go outside and shop together. Maybe you'll find something you want to eat while we shop."

He placed a hand on his face and sighed, last thing he wanted was to give her more material to cook. Plus he was tired and just wanted to stay home. "Ah… I'm too lazy… can't we just stay home-"

She growled as she turned away from him. "Ah… this damn kid just blew off a date with someone as beautiful as me, he should be dancing with joy instead."

Qrow cackled. "I definitely like this no stick up the ass version -OOF!"

Qrow's head whipped back due to getting hit from a flying flask, as his teammates laughed at his misfortune. Ruby chuckled. "Maybe you shouldn't have done that Uncle Qrow."

The drunkard just sarcastically laughed, Glynda crossed her arms and simply pouted due to being embarrassed at her other version. "She should be more-"

Ozpin gave a smirk. "Just relax Glynda, maybe she'll surprise you."

"... I can hear everything."

She then glomped him which nearly caused the drink in his hands to nearly fall to the ground. She then adopted a more flirty tone of voice. "You can just go out alone~! You're breaking my heart, young master! Don't be that way and come out with me. Young master~! I've been stuck at home all day so my body is aching!"

She gave him a small kiss to his temple which caused him to blush. "You'll go out~? Right now, right~?"

The men in the room gulped at the seduction on display, to imagine the strict disciplinarian being like that to a boy… even Ozpin wasn't immune to this. Glynda just wished she could hide in a ditch. "Why is my other self so frivolous?"

"I don't mind." James' abrupt observation was met with a glaring Goodwitch to which he ignored.

Coco whistled in appreciation. "Hmm… I'm gonna have to take some notes."

Before he could give an answer, she smothered him to her bosom which caused him to nearly drop the glass right there. He tried so hard… very hard to not look to his right for there lies temptation. "Ahhn young master let's go already~"

He looked up to her face, he swore that her yellow eyes were glowing as she slowly and sensually licked her lips to whisper. "I promise to give you a treat young master~"

Jaune commented. "I'd love a tre-"

Pyrrha pouted as she hit Jaune on the shoulder to snap him out of it. Nora did the same with Ren since the latter did not look away. Roman chuckled. "Looks like some of the lads will need to fix their pants."

James wanted to open his mouth for a comment but it was halted by his good friend. She glared at him. "Not a single comment out of your mouth, Ironwood!"

They were both now in the Valean Underground Mall where Glynda had an outfit change of a black leather jacket, a simple white t-shirt and skinny jeans while Jaune had elected to dress plainly. He simply glared at her to which she chuckled since he was carrying the cart of groceries. "It feels as if our roles have swapped..."

"Oh my~ Such a gentleman. I just asked you to take care of the cart because I have to choose the menu you know." Something caught her eye as she nearly leapt in a single bound to capture the treasure.

In her hands was a case of Heineken. "UUUOOOHHH! Import beer is 30 percent today! There's even Atlesian beer!"

Qrow nodded in appreciation. "Now that's a Glynda I can get behind."

Winter chuckled since she enjoyed seeing the depths of Glynda's reactions get worse and worse due to her alternate self. "Who knew you'd become a female version of Qrow."

Glynda blanched and wished that her other selves wouldn't go down this route. Yang really liked this version of Glynda. "Sounds like one I can get behind, teach me some different stuff."

He just slowly walked away while she was examining which liquor to get. "... Don't you consider Atlesian beer as Import beer?"

He tried looking for food that could be considered the least amount of unlucky when prepared by Glynda when his eyes started to strain. He looked around and saw nothing but purple fog around him. "... Huh? What the heck's going on?"

He ran up the stairs to the ground floor but he didn't notice Glynda's sharp eyes following where he was going. 'It's not just the underground floor, could it be the 1st floor as well...'

Jaune frowned as he saw the building be filled with purple fog. "What the Oum is going on?"

Ozpin immediately realized the situation. "If that version of Mr. Arc can see misfortune as purple fog… then a great tragedy will befall in that mall."

Tai also gave a comment. "It also means no one will believe him if he tells anyone to leave before something bad happens 'cuz he's just a kid."

He looked and everywhere he found was surrounded in a dark shade of purple, the fog was so thick he even took a step back. 'No the entire building is covered by the purple fog.'

He was walking around the ground floor of the mall, trying to find the source. 'Why? Why is everything purple? Is it telling me I'll be unlucky no matter where I go? Or is there a problem with the building itself?'

He then looked up as his eyes widened in horror, large cracks appeared on the ceiling and even in the pillars. He wasted no time to find a security guard in order to inform him that he thinks the building will collapse resulting in countless lives. "What? … Evacuate the people?"

Jaune quickly nodded and stammered. "Y-Yes… I believe it's poor construction? The building seems like it'll collapse soon, so we need to evacuate-"

The guard glared at him. "What kind of joke is this? An out of season April Fools one? Where did you hear this? Who told you the building is gonna collapse?"

Ruby was annoyed at how the guard was treating Jaune. It was just like some of the people in Beacon treating her differently because of her age. "That guard's a dummy."

Summer gave another answer about the guard's behavior. "There's a lot of people in this world, Ruby that can't believe what others say. For a good reason of course, there's a lot of people no matter the age who like to be the Boy who Called Beowulf."

"N-No what I-"

He turned away from Jaune believing it to be nonsense. "We can't evacuate people without proof man. You think it's a joke to evacuate everyone or something?"

"I-"

"You do know this building's a couple years old?" He crossed his arms and grunted. "If it were to collapse because of that then it should have done a long time ago. And also if we evacuate everyone and there's no problem, would you take responsibility?"

Jaune was shocked since he didn't even think of that, the guard took it as the blonde understood that he was being the boy who cried wolf. "Are you going to compensate for all the money that the department store lost because of you?"

Blake scowled. "I know he can't just believe Jaune but he shouldn't be that much of an asshole about it."

Yang snickered. "It seems your claws are out when it's about your-"

"Don't finish that sentence or I will kill you, Xiao-Long."

He knew he wasn't wrong but it reminded him of… back then… 'I don't have any ideas coming to my mind… what should I do?'

Eleven years ago, on a very stormy night, a six year old Jaune was trying to pull someone out from the wrecked car. He had miraculously survived from a really big landslide but it wasn't the cause of concern now. "... Mom ...Mom …Mom … Mom?"

Underneath the wreck was Juniper underneath all the rubble as she was bleeding heavily from her injuries. "Run away. Jaune… Mommy is ok so hurry and get away..."

Salem frowned at her other self since she hated seeing herself so powerless but she was jealous… at least that version could die. She looked at the Creator who had a heinous smile, it was definitely another jab to her. "Very weak for that boy to not save me."

Cinder scowled at seeing her mistress be so weak. "Unbelievable."

Nora argued for alternate Jaune's sake. "He can't, he's too young and too weak."

"I can't! I'll save you mommy… so-"

She responded by weakly pressing her hands to his cheeks and in that instant, Jaune's eyes glowed and his eyes widened in horror. His mother had turned into a blackened ghoul surrounded with purple fog and with a monstrous expression. "Hurry… and run!"

"What the fuck was that?!" Mercury exclaimed in shock, others followed in suit, Juniper had turned into a monster right before their eyes in an instant.

It didn't occur to some of what she said but Ozpin frowned when he realized why she may have traumatized a young Jaune. 'She saved him… Which means she knows that Jaune has the eyes of misfortune… but how? I wonder if it will be explained if his father knew as well since Glynda knew.'

"UWWAAKK!" He backed away in fright. When he looked back, he saw his mother but normal… 'WHAT WAS THAT?! Mommy turned into some purple monster...'

She gave a sad smile and whispered her last words… "I… will always love you… Jaune. Take care… I-"

'I faced my first misfortune that day...' Thunder roared as a large boulder crushed the area where Juniper was and after that Jaune heard no more from his… All he heard was his despair riddled cries ring out in the abandoned mountainside.

Jaune felt pity on his other alternate self. 'Now I can understand why he hates himself so much or has such little confidence… he has survivor's guilt and he's been in a horrible tragedy.'

'I learned that in the face of overwhelming misfortune, humans cannot do anything… That day just proved it.' He looked at these normal people all around him at the mall, they were both good and bad but they were innocents of this impending tragedy. 'This is the same. In front of all of this overwhelming misfortune… What can I possibly do? Someone who can't even look another person properly in the eye...'

A man who was running bumped into Jaune causing him to fall to the ground, others laughed or even mocked him for standing still like an idiot. 'How would someone like that save someone… No… I can't do it… I need to run-'

He then was brought out of his thoughts when a finger caressed the back of his neck. He turned to look and it was Glynda with a teasing smile. "G-Glynda!"

She chuckled at his antics. "What are you doing here, young master? You suddenly ran off, so I assumed something was off."

She then stopped and looked at Jaune's face and gave a slight frown. "... You seem troubled."

He avoided her gaze. "Haa… I just… I just don't feel well… let's go back."

She noticed his look and smiled. "... Young master you've seen something again haven't you? With your Eyes of Misfortune. I'm willing to bet that you ran because you saw that the entire building was purple when you used your ability to look for ingredients."

"She knows!" Weiss was astonished, she had assumed that only Jaune had information about his own powers stored in his eyes.

Winter concluded. "It is possible that his father knew about his ability… unless he found out about his incident only due to his experiences."

Pyrrha also gave an observation. "Or maybe Glynda knew about it from her decade of taking care of Jaune. Perhaps because he knew about her horrible cooking."

"I am not horrible at cooking!"

He sighed, of course she already knew… she'd been raising him for close to a decade. So she knew when he looked troubled. "Yeah, I think the entire building is gonna collapse."

"Are you sure it's not nothing? Maybe it's just telling you to tell me not to cook."

"... Really?"

She chuckled. "How dare you accept ya' brat."

Glynda simply smiled and looked at him. "Shall I help you? Evacuate everyone here?"

"What can she do?" Qrow asked since it looked like she had no weapons to cause a panic or aura to force people outside.

The Creator made sure to include a note to the audience. "Oh and also there is no aura in this universe. But Glynda is a… special kind of person."

"What do you mean?"

He shrugged his shoulders at the deputy of Beacon. "You'll see."

"It's fine-"

Glynda interrupted him because she knew where he was going with this since she saw his experience with the security guard. "Young master, it's because you were reminded of your mother wasn't it? I've heard the story you know. Do not worry. We're not in a completely different situation from back then."

Jaune didn't want to hope but it was Glynda's tone that made him think that things could be different this time. "What… is so different?"

She laughed. "Easy, young master. You have me. This time."

Ruby smiled at Alternate Glynda's statement. "I like that confidence. It's like a hero saying 'I am here' to make sure that everything's ok."

Weiss sighed. "I just wonder how she will help Jaune remove the people from the mall."

Jaune accepted Glynda's help and the two rushed to the parking lot of the shopping mall, the blonde noticed the older blonde message someone on her phone. When they approached the entrance, she looked back and gave a devilish smirk. "Why did we come to the parking lot shouldn't we-"

"He's meeting us here. By the way, young master watch where you're going."

"Watch where- WAH!" A large red van immediately made a stop in front of them, the sight jumped Jaune's heart of his chest like a jump scare. She chuckled at his reaction. "A friend of mine that I met in Vale. It seems like he is quite well known in this field."

A very handsome man approached the two with his white suit and fancy jewelry pointed at them. "Yo."

People looked at the man and then at the gentleman thief and then back at the one on the screen. To look again at Roman, the one who first said anything was Roman himself. "I must say, at least the scenario got my handsome looks right."

Neo shook her head and easily told him. 'Don't get too ahead of yourself.'

"Bro! Have you been well?"

"As well as I can be, Glynda."

People were once again stunned and needed a moment to reflect seeing Glynda act like that to anyone… Ozpin sipped his coffee. "Well that... surprised me"

Jaune was confused but looked at Glynda's glad expression along with her performing a brofist with him. 'Foreigner… where is he from?!'

The dark-skinned man simply smiled at Jaune's hesitance but looked at Glynda. "Now, come and choose. We don't have much time."

"What the… heck are these?" The friend of Glynda opened the back door of the van to reveal caches of cases along with many different firearms, ammunition and melee weapons.

She grabbed a weapon and felt if it was right for her, Jaune swore he saw her eyes glow like a particular enemy from the Metaverse. "If they choose not to listen willingly, then we'll strike them so that they have to evacuate the building."

"Huh?" It didn't register in his mind immediately but when he saw Glynda handle guns with skill, it dawned on him her plan to have the innocent people leave the mall. 'I can't do this! I'm just a high schooler and-'

Yang was impressed and a little bit scared. "I'm all for causing mayhem but… it's a bit too extreme for Jaune to do it."

Blake agreed. "Also, since when was Miss Goodwitch that good with a gun?"

Said teacher gave an answer. "I wasn't but looking at how she handled and checked the weapon. It is clear she's had military training."

He turned behind him to see a piece of the ceiling of the parking lot falling to smash into some cars. The foreigner and Jaune were stupefied while Glynda was amused. "Well it seems your prediction is correct, young master. Then let us hurry young master."

"Huh, wouldn't you know. The kid is right… but wait… wouldn't the guards be alerted by a loud crash in their building." Emerald asked.

Velvet gave more credence to this notion. "Yeah… shouldn't there be like security cameras. Why haven't they responded."

Cinder shrugged her shoulders and nonchalantly answered. "It seems incompetence has infected the staff of the department store."

She stated with a nonchalant attitude as she strapped the sling of the automatic rifle to her as did the foreigner. Jaune sweated because he used his power and the fog told him one thing. '10 minutes… till the total collapse of the entire department store.'

Whilst he was distracted, Glynda had placed something in his arms. When he looked it was the mask of a very cute white bear. "Here! This is young master's!"

The others laughed at the weird mask for a terrorist act. Others had mixed reactions like Roman and Neo who growled at the nonsense of wearing such a ridiculous disguise. "Yeah, it's cute but it looks so tacky. No one would be caught dead wearing that."

James didn't want to admit it but he agreed with the criminal. "Also how can one even see from that mask? It's a good obstruction for the criminal instead of a disguise."

"... You want me to wear this?"

She smirked. "Of course! You want to show yourself while terrorizing people?"

He thought more about it especially when Glynda placed a cute tiger mask atop her head and grabbed a bunch of smoke grenades. 'Can we really force everyone to leave with just two people?'

Glynda explained as she grabbed more munition. "You'll need to make as much commotion as possible so that people evacuate without sticking around."

Jaune was perplexed, wouldn't the job be done with the guns they were brandishing. "Isn't that fine with just guns."

"That would be fine if these were real guns." She fired her rifle at the pillar but there were no bullet holes. "But unfortunately these are just BB guns."

Jaune felt a bit relieved that he wasn't going to be firing actual bullets but Roman and Neo showed their lack of appreciation by booing and giving a thumbs down. They wanted an actual criminal act taking place, Roman rolled his eyes to show his displeasure. "So boring! BB guns, if one were to use their brain and figure out that they were using fakes then their whole thing fails."

Qrow agreed. "Yeah wouldn't they have to shoot some people or things to cause a panic. Also smoke grenades wouldn't make everyone leave a mall."

"Ah-"

"Here! Young master, take this." Jaune held the gun that was tossed to him and he still felt anxious, were they really doing it the right way. Even if the guns were fake, if panic ensued people could get hurt by trampling over one another.

"Hey Glynda… isn't there a more peaceful way of doing this?"

Glynda looked at Jaune and slowly walked to him while removing the animal mask. "Young master… what're you saying after coming this far..."

Her eyes glowed with mischief and the promise of action. "Do you know how much of young master's money I used in borrowing all of this gear from his desire to save the innocent?"

Ozpin chuckled. "Wouldn't that be her own mistake of going through with this plan without consulting Jaune?"

Tai laughed. "Oh come on Oz, Other Glynda's just having her own version of fun."

'Hey! That's what you did on your own!' He needed to find a way to come up with a more safe solution. "Ah… how about this? Before we go in, we'll call the department store and tell them we set up a bomb."

Glynda was intrigued as she put back her mask. "A bomb?"

"Yeah, then they'll need to evacuate the people in order to check if there's a bomb or not… I think anyways..."

She then approached him as he looked away from his bullet hole riddled plan. "And then you want us to enter afterwards and get the employees out too?"

"I-Isn't that a more peaceful way?"

Glynda thought about it as Jaune bated his breath with anticipation if his caretaker would approve. "That's a great idea! Normally department stores would have to follow through bomb threats."

"Phew..."

Ruby gave a thumbs up to Jaune's plan. "Yeah no sane mall person would ever keep people if there's a bomb that can go off."

Weiss had to agree to her partner's sentiments. "Quite so. If they fail to notice then they can endanger countless lives and their own business."

She then went through the back of the van in order to find something important for Jaune's plan to work. "Then… let's see, it should be around here somewhere… Here! Young master, I'll leave this to you right away! This is a liar phone!"

"Huh! Me?! What's a liar phone?"

She then grabbed Jaune's shoulder and pulled him close to her. "It's another name for a burner. Do you really think they'll believe me if a girl says I set up a bomb here or something? As a man you need to do it young master!"

Winter agreed. "He should take responsibility for such a plan he proposed."

James chuckled. "I don't think he will through with it, Specialist."

"Why?"

"Because he is simply too afraid of the action and its consequences."

He started to sweat, he went into the hypotheticals about people actually remembering his voice and remembering about the shy and anxious high school teenager. Also someone who should be threatening can't be him if he stumbles then they'll laugh at it. "B.. But my voice isn't that manly..."

She retorted in almost a yell to get him motivated to commit to his plan. "Manly or not, a female's voice and a man's voice are completely different! Now here young master! Make the bomb threat!"

He shook his head vehemently. "I- I… I can't do it! I'll definitely mumble and stumble my way. You should do it since you're super confident."

She growled. "I can't! You shouldn't push your idea onto someone else you know!"

Both of them were surprised when Glynda's friend picked up his own burner and called the department store. "Hello? Uh I set a bomb up in 'ya department store. Put a fifteen kilogram worth of 50,000 Lien by a convenience store named A Hundred in front of your department store."

Roman was smiling with what he saw his other self was doing. "At least other me carried on my style of doing things. I must say I should be looking at getting that suit for a heist."

Velvet muttered. "At least someone is gonna do the bomb threat."

Coco chuckled. "Yeah that argument between Miss G and Jaune would have taken forever."

He was silent for a bit as the caller was thinking it was a prank. But his serious and angry voice made the people on the other side think differently. "Hey 'ya got a snake in yer head or somethin'. Does this seem like a joke to ya?! Now, if ya don't put the money there by 1, we gunna explode the mall!"

He hung up the phone and received a high five from Glynda. "Nice Roman! Great job! That should scare them enough to evacuate. But you should've said it in a Valean accent, you stand out too much."

"You know I'm from a different part of Vale so I can't speak that way."

"What are you talking about, I taught you last time didn't I?"

"Wasn't that how to speak in Atlesian or something?"

Jaune sighed. "What is really going on right now?"

Winter nodded in agreement, as much as it was entertaining to see alternate Glynda sink the real one. The banter was completely questioning. "Should they even have this when their mission is a priority in removing the people from a disaster?"

Ruby frowned. "Yeah! They should go in and cause a ruckus."

Roman chuckled. "Wouldn't see to believe that Red would want a crime to happen."

In the same department store, up on the seventh floor was the security control center as one worker said it in amusement. "A bomb threat out of nowhere… huh?"

His co-worker looked up from his phone and raised his eyebrow in surprise. "Really? What did they say?"

He sighed. "Some dude with a Vacuan accent said he set up a bomb in the department store and that he wanted some money."

His co-worker chuckled. "He probably just wanted some attention."

Three minutes passed and in the parking lot they heard no alarms for evacuation or people trying to leave… Both Glynda and Jaune sweatdropped from that, the former saying. "There was no reaction from that..."

Qrow smiled at their failure as some did laugh at the two's reaction to no emergency calls to evacuate. "Looks like no one really believed them."

Tai chuckled. "They were more into their game than a bomb threat."

"You're right."

She stared at Roman and asked. "Are you sure you called them?"

He nodded his head. "I called them."

She then posed in joy with an arm outstretched looking at the horizon. "Well too bad, isn't it young master? We should make an appearance instead! That should solve our dilemma!"

The audience laughed at alternate Glynda's enthusiasm at causing terror with Small Jaune. Ren gave his opinion. "You know maybe because she's used to it."

Jaune looked at his teammate, he was curious about Ren's perspective. "What do you mean?"

"Earlier, she handled a gun expertly and is very gung-ho about her plan to stage a terrorist act to fulfill your alternate self's wishes. I'm thinking maybe she was sent to your other self as not only a nanny but as a bodyguard."

Weiss nodded. "I had the exact same conclusion, she is far too calm about this scenario which means she has done it before numerous times."

Glynda sighed. "Great… I'm a criminal in this world."

He sighed at her excitement at being a terrorist. "That's not a pose of someone who is doing it as a last resort… Do you even have a plan ready?"

Jaune started to sweat nervously as he felt Glynda's mood become even more excited since there was like a dangerous glint in her eyes. "Fufu… Don't worry. In less than five minutes, there won't be a single speck of dust in this department store."

She then ran ahead while Jaune followed. "Now! Let's go, young master! Please hold the smoke grenades inside of the plastic bag!"

"A-Alright!"

Roman chuckled and waved at the two. "I'll wait for you guys outside."

But Jaune tripped and landed face forward to the pavement which caused Glynda to turn back in immediate concern. "Young master!"

Jaune was blinded by his own mask since it turned 180, he couldn't support it because it was too big for him. "Ahh, I can't see anything in front of me!"

The audience once again laughed at Small Jaune's predicament because of the situation revolving around his stature. Ruby said. "Aw that was so cute and funny. I know I shouldn't laugh but how is he gonna see!"

Jaune pouted at being embarrassed by the actions of his other self. "I now like being tall all of a sudden."

She looked at Roman who was trying really hard not to laugh out loud. "Roman! Don't you have something else instead of this thing? Speed is life, so how dare you give us something so large!"

Jaune tried to remove the mask but he couldn't. "Uwaa!"

Roman sighed. "That woman is blaming me when she was the one that gave that mask to him… Hmm… I don't have any other doll heads, should I give you something lighter?"

"S… Someone help me get up..."

Winter chuckled at the two adults ignoring Jaune's troubles in detaching the cute tiger mask. "It's kind of cute how they're ignoring him."

Nora laughed. "I love how Jaune-Jaune can't get the mask out of his head."

Roman gave something to Glynda. "How about this instead?"

"Uhh… Glynda, a little help here!"

"Ohh~ That would do it for the young master!"

Back in the department store, a mother and child were window shopping when suddenly they heard a hiss. Smoke came from the non-lethal frag which triggered the fire alarm causing people to panic. "There's a fire!"

Nora cheered. "Let's go Jaune-Jaune, break some legs."

Her partner and best, best friend interjected. "Nora, they're not really there to hurt anyone. They just want them to leave."

Someone bumped into the child causing her to land on her butt to the ground. She stared up and started to cry for her mommy when she saw someone in a hazmat suit carrying an automatic rifle. But it was Jaune who was trying to stand beside Glynda who was far more comfortable with this situation. '... I shouldn't stand here.'

"Listen up! We're taking over this department store from this point on! Alright!" She swinged her gun like a madman but couldn't hide the hints of joy from her threat which caused Jaune to sigh heavily. "Otherwise get out of my sight!"

Civilians were confused because they thought it was some sort of bad joke for the promotion of a sale. "What the heck?! Some type of an event?"

"I don't think it's an event, let's just get out!"

Glynda shouted at the crowd which shocked them since she fired a bullet to the ground. "Why're you standing around! You don't think your life is precious huh?!"

Emerald scowled. "I don't like how this Small Jaune is always so much of a wimp with this act."

Pyrrha sighed. "Bless his good nature but it does get annoying sometimes. How many times do you have to sigh on what Alternate Glynda does when it was your plan?!"

Jaune simply replied. "I'm sorry… for myself."

The crowds of people rushed to the exit but something catched Jaune's eye, it was an elderly woman who wasn't being helped to leave. To Jaune it looked like she'll be hurt more from the panic they created. He rushed to where the old lady was. "Wait, I'm going to help her for a second…!"

Glynda was surprised, they were supposed to be terrorists not nice people helping out the elderly. "Wait… what?! Young master-"

Ruby frowned. "I like how he wants to save the old lady even if he is trying to be the bad guy. But something is telling me… I think it'll go wrong."

Yang chuckled. "Yeah, I can feel it too. Something tells me that walking with a straight line in a sort of hazmat suit will definitely cause a funny accident to happen."

Summer giggled. "As evident from the mask and Small Jaune's mishap with misfortune… I'm just hoping he doesn't hit the old lady with the gun."

He was getting closer to the elderly woman. 'We need to evacuate these people while getting the least… amount of casualties?'

What he didn't expect was that the granny tripped and bumped into a suit wearing young man who had a beautiful girl on his arm. The man yelled in anger. "Hey granny! You need to apologize if you hit someone, don't you!"

His girl immediately tried to let him leave to get out of there. "Hey, let's just ignore her and get out of here, she ain't worth it!"

The granny took a step back from absorbing the man's vitriol. "My, my-"

What the three didn't expect was Jaune still holding his gun and tripped forward while the man was shouting. "Just because your old doesn't mean you think you can push people- Huh-"

With a mighty hit, the man went down after Jaune crashed the butt of the rifle to the man's cheek knocking him out. But because he wasn't moving, more people screamed and ran in panic. The girl who was with the newly knocked out individual screamed in terror. "The terrorist just killed my lover!"

The audience chuckled at Jaune's mistake while Ozpin muttered. "Well… at least he got the acting right on becoming a terrorist."

Blake joked. "The White Fang should take notes."

This caused Jaune to instinctively try to explain himself while holding onto his firearm. "Ehh! No- I-"

They soon ran away from him while shouting for others to call for the police or to rescue them. It dawned on Jaune that he was now deemed as a terrorist for his little mishap because he stumbled. He then noticed Glynda rush to him and give him a thumbs up. "Nicely done. That's it, I knew you had it in you, young master!"

Qrow chuckled as Glynda was highly embarrassed that her other self was promoting these actions. "I like this version of the Witch of Beacon."

Raven smiled. "Yes… this one just wants to have fun and isn't a stickler for the rules."

Jaune sighed since it seemed that Glynda thought that he intentionally rushed up to the man to cause a scene. He looked down and noticed many people panicking down the escalators to leave the mall in a hurry. He felt that Glynda was smiling at this. "If you go to the other floors and cause a commotion like this then they'll exit all on their own. Let's end this before the building collapses and before the police arrive."

They quickly went down the escalator to the second floor as Jaune noticed the distinct lack of panicked noises. He therefore concluded. "Most of the people must have evacuated… so this must mean that we have to just take care of the people on the first floor."

He was sweating because he was anxious about committing another 'commotion'. "Why do you look so ill? Yeah, but don't you think most of them ran away already after the commotion?"

"Are you crazy?!"

"There's a terrorist inside, how could you trap us inside!"

A suave black haired man with a dapper business suit showed no signs of distress despite the men and women who were trying to leave. He had two guards with him bodyguarding the entrance. "It's not a terrorist everyone, it's just a delusional man's ruckus that's all! There isn't a single person hurt despite being shot at. From this commotion, some of them already went inside and stole some of our times."

Ozpin frowned when he realized where the direction of the conversation was heading towards, but the one who voiced their displeasure was Tai. "What a scummy dude?! He's gonna keep the people in there because of the losses."

Glynda snapped out from her uneasy feeling of her alternate self and scowled. "Yes… if there were officials like this when Grimm attack the citizens. That man would be fired."

Juniper gave another perspective. "Or he is a lackey to those above him. His years spent in that position have deluded him into thinking he has power when he will be the easiest scapegoat for the corporation."

He smirked when some of the people were losing their stupor to leave. 'Yes… just because some crazy thieves threw some smoke grenades. We, the Daehan Department Store, should not and cannot have any loss!'

Ruby frowned at the manager's reasoning. "He should just let these people go!"

Pyrrha responded. "Sometimes people care too much for profit rather than the risk of lives lost… that's why it is inevitable to see seconds from a disaster situation happening in this department store."

He continued in order to control the crowd. "The police will arrive here soon, so please wait here."

One of the guards whispered to the man. "Is this really alright? Manager?"

The manager gave a crooked smile and showed his true intentions. "After this week, we'll be the best branch that they have. Stop worrying about the little things and help out!"

Ren wondered aloud. "Besides the disgraceful manager, I've thought about this… how is the department store collapsing?"

Emerald answered. "Eh, probably a mistake in construction or a bunch of explosives. Take your pick."

Winter cupped her chin in thought. "I would guess explosives is more believable since it seems so slow yet so sudden."

A woman was carrying the elderly woman who looked tired and had a hard time standing up. "Excuse me. Then you should at least let this grandma out first. She ran into some man earlier and she's having a hard time even standing."

He chuckled but did not budge. "Once the police arrive, we'll open it for you right away."

The woman was shocked. "Hey! What if this grandma collapses while waiting-"

"For the sake of not letting the criminal escape. We cannot let you leave until they arrive." That statement shocked the crowd along with Jaune and Glynda. The latter spouted about how they were out of their damn mind.

Yang growled at how the manager wouldn't even let some of the customers out of the door. "I get what he's trying to do but come on! How can a grandma even start an event like this?!"

Weiss nodded. "Poor decision making."

Winter echoed those sentiments. "Quite so. I hope Small Jaune gives him the same treatment he did with that other rude man."

The ceiling started to shake which shocked the people by the entrance. The manager looked up and small debris were falling down. "What's this? What's that sound?!"

Glynda was shocked when more apparent cracks appeared on the ceiling. "Young master, could this be- At this rate… the entire building will collapse!"

His heart began to race as time was running out to save everyone. He didn't even think about what could happen or what will happen. Jaune sped up to where the entrance was and then pointed the gun at the manager's forehead. "D… Don't move!"

The manager placed his hands up in surrender. "W...who are you?!"

Jaune did not hesitate and even made the barrel touch the man's forehead. "I'm that crazy thief you're talking about!"

"I- I'm nothing but a manager… no matter how much money you demand, it won't work." He said trying to weasel himself out.

Jaune couldn't understand and something snapped. "S- Shut up! You think we're doing this because we need money?! From this point, aside from you everyone will leave this place. You're my hostage!"

Jaune was surprised by his other self and the unexpected bravery. "Woah!"

Pyrrha agreed with her partner slash crush. "Yeah, he must have realized that he was out of time to save everyone."

Ruby shouted. "I hope he does so that he can show that manager who's an idiot!"

He pushed the barrel causing the manager to cry hysterically when the barrel was probably making a mark on his skin. "The kind of hostage that I'd kill without hesitation! If you want to live, don't even say a single word."

Jaune had stopped pressing the gun to the manager's head which caused him to look at the gun as he stopped crying. He noticed something very important about the barrel that it looked like it's color was starting to be removed. 'Huh… what's this? Did the paint peel off?'

Cinder chuckled. "Oh, it seems that man noticed the fake gun."

Roman didn't want to agree but he did so from his own expertise. "A horrible paint job in my opinion. He might even not take young blondie seriously if his life was never in jeopardy."

Mercury groaned. "That's why I actually just want to use a real gun."

Glynda had not moved since she was still surprised her young nervous wreck of a ward had stormed in and declared his intent. "... Young master-"

She then stopped as she heard those loud sirens outside which meant that police and most likely SWAT were already in the vicinity. Outside of the mall, lines of policemen in riot gear decked with their own firearms were ready for orders from their chief on entering the building, securing the hostages and capturing the terrorists.

Jaune was surprised by the fast response of the police, his hesitance was a sign for the people holding the front of the door earlier to just bolt in the safety of the law. "W… Wait!"

"The door is open! Let's get out! Move! Move!" Were all the things that Jaune heard as he felt like Mufasa with the crowd as the stampeding buffalos leaving the mall in a cheer due to the police arriving.

In anger, he growled due to being nearly trampled and trained his gun at a civilian who was running away. Finger on the trigger just need to be squeezed to unleash a hail of fake bullets but Glynda appeared and lowered the firearm. ".. Glynda…!"

Emerald and Neo scowled, they wanted Small Jaune to take the shot. The former sighed. "I mean, what's the worst that can happen to the guy? Just a minor bruise from a bb pellet."

Cinder chuckled. "Maybe a more aggravated response from the law enforcement for shooting a civilian."

She looked at him while still keeping a hold of the fake gun. "What're you going to do with a BB bullet? It's alright now. Let's just let them go like this. The young master I know should've had a hard time, so great job."

Underneath her mask, she gave a sad smile at seeing Jaune wanting to shoot someone in anger. "But starting from now, it's going to get dangerous, so I'll do it. It's much more fitting that I do this kind of job anyways."

'...Much more fitting?'

James sighed. "How disappointing. This version is just too… slow. Hasn't he realized her almost natural combat skills and familiarity to these situations."

Ozpin chuckled. "Well… I guess we have to see where this goes."

But before he could ask why she had said that, Jaune instantly realized the problems in their situation. "Ah… alright. But without a hostage, how will we drag it out and buy time?"

A lightbulb popped out as Glynda knew what they had to do. "Hostage? Well if we don't have one… then we make one."

Roman was just hanging back in his van when suddenly he was blindsided… the next thing he knew he was bound in tape and held at gunpoint by Glynda. "Unbelievable! Vale is just too cruel! You can never imagine this happening in Vacuo!"

The audience laughed as one criminal became peeved at his other self's current situation. "Seriously! Why am I the hostage?!"

Neo gave him an answer, 'There ain't no way Big Blonde is going to put Small Blonde as a hostage.'

The chief of the police force shouted using the megaphone. "Let the hostages go and surrender peacefully. Then we'll try our best to lower your sentences!"

Jaune looked at Glynda who was not impressed. "Hmph! Shut up you bastards! I can put a hole to this guy's head right now!"

"SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!"

Glynda was irritated, Roman was supposed to have been playing as a foreigner. "Hey, you are either a Vacuan or a hick from Vale, so choose one!"

Roman blinked and apologized with a sarcastic tone. "Ah… then use a real foreigner!"

The crowd behind the police all grabbed their phones in order to record or document this to their social media about the crazy thing happening in front of them. Lisa Lavender on the other hand looked at the whole affair, they were not yet live right now so she could tell her true thoughts. "Simply a bunch of criminals… the police should just shoot them already."

Roman felt his honor was wounded, just a criminal… he was a master artist of his craft. "Hey! Don't give the police any ideas."

Yang was confused. "You're not even the criminal in this one."

Roman responded. "Honor among thieves, Blondie."

Her cameraman chuckled at her distaste. "Why are you so angry? We get a job, so it's good for us, right?"

She grabbed her own microphone and sighed, just another day on the job. "Our country keeps producing these kinds of criminals. That's why we get jobs like this."

"Yes yes, it's time, we're shooting, so get ready."

Lisa got into her zone in reporting as her posture straightened and her voice suddenly became professional. "Yes, it's Reporter Lisa Lavender! We're currently live at Valean Department Store, where the terrorists have occupied the building. So far, from what we've investigated, there are no wounded or casualties. However, the terrorists currently have a hostage and seem to be negotiating with the police's special forces."

Jaune gulped as he suddenly remembered the looks he was receiving, it triggered some horrible memories revolving around the times after his mother's funeral. He just wanted to move them away… "... In- In the department store, I set up massive amounts of bombs."

Jaune was surprised by his sudden mood swing. "I'm starting to be confused about what my other self is doing. How is this helping the people from evacuating if everyone is staying around the vicinity because of this terrorist act?"

Pyrrha gave her own answer. "Maybe his mouth went faster than his brain. I mean he got traumatized from what happened in the funeral and just acted."

Raven simply stated. "Bad move."

Glynda looked to him as she was alarmed why Jaune would say this. But the younger blonde continued his threat. "It's not just the department store, we set up bombs in there to blow away all the buildings surrounding the area! If you listen to our demands then-"

"It's a lie!"

The manager of the department store stormed his way through the police barricade to announce his own thoughts. "I saw it! You guys sprayed the exit of your guns didn't you! That gun originally had an orange tip on it, didn't it!? Right?! I'm also into BB Guns since I-"

He was stopped midway when he felt something brush near his ear, silence was all around the area. Especially when the police and the manager noticed blood pouring down which meant one thing for everyone… The terrorists had real guns.

Real smoke came out of the barrel of Glynda's gun. "What did you say? Could you repeat that once more? I couldn't hear you that well. What about a fake gun?"

Qrow was shocked. "Holy brothers! She actually intimidated a civilian by nearly shooting him in the head. I really, really like this version."

Summer laughed. "It wasn't really aiming for the head since she was just trying to nick his ear."

She then stepped on Roman and placed the barrel on the back of his head while threatening that she had enough. Her friend was angry at being treated like this. 'Ouch! Ouch! Why me!'

Jaune was astonished, he thought Glynda had the same BB gun had. '... It's a real gun! What the heck is going on?!'

The police chief then responded. "Hmph… everyone calm down!" He looked at the stunned manager. "Someone get him out of here!"

Two of his officers grabbed the man and pulled him out of the scene, he then communicated with the terrorists. "This is my last warning! Lay down your guns! Otherwise, we will fire immediately!"

Glynda responded. "Even if you kill us, the bomb will go off!"

The police chief grimaced since he didn't know how this volatile situation would go next but he needed to remove the current threat before they killed the foreign hostage. "Then we don't have any reason to negotiate with you! We're counting down!"

Ozpin chuckled at the exchange between Glynda and the police chief. "Excellent negotiation."

James smirked. "Reminds me of when we talked about the festival."

The manager managed to arrive behind the police chief and demanded. "What do you mean?! Just shoot them, there is no bomb!"

The person behind him stated. "They might be serious department store manager."

"... What?"

He thought about that sound before the manager was held hostage by the terrorist. "Didn't you hear the big boom sound earlier back at the department store? It definitely… came from above."

He was astonished, this must mean that the threat was real. "Then, are you saying that they seriously-"

Many loud sounds were heard coming from inside the department store, they clearly sounded like explosions. One even yelled as damage started to show from the outside. "The department store is-"

Some were surprised that Jaune's vision of misfortune came true. Ruby's mouth closed and then she realized with aghast. "Wait… what's gonna happen to the peo-"

Glynda held Jaune's hand as she was surprised that the department store was going to come crashing down. "Ah… it's gonna collapse soon! This is our chance, young master! Let's run away using this chance!"

A large explosion caused very large debris of concrete to come tumbling down and in response, the crowd of onlookers and police immediately ran out of the vicinity. Panic ensued for self-preservation. But one reporter named Lisa Lavender was knocked down to the ground.

Jaune heard her cry of pain as she laid on the ground trying to remove the probable headache. What caused Jaune's heart to plummet was that if she ran away, the spot in front of her had a large presence of purple fog. 'N… No! Don't go there! You'll end up like mo-'

Glynda was too late when she heard the sound of a gun being tossed away. She was powerless to catch her ward when he sprinted to where the reporter was as debris was falling down on them. Purple fog surrounded the area where he was running to.

Some held their breath as Small Jaune foolishly decided to play the hero in order to save one that would have made a dual wielding redhead happy. Pyrrha's fists tightened, she didn't want any version of Jaune to die. "Please be alright."

Nora frowned. "He better or I'll break his legs!"

"Young MASTER! Run-"

He was close to grabbing her but-

"YOUNG MASTER!" Large concrete debris landed where Jaune and the reporter were. Silence rained in the area as Glynda slowly tried to recover from what she just saw. There was no way she let Ja-

Her eyes widened in shock when she saw a bloody arm that was crushed under a particular large part of debris. "YOUNG MASTER!"

Jaune was stunned. "I-... I'm dead?"

The girls who liked Jaune due to the various scenarios teared up but they jumped up in surprise from what was seen on screen.

Tears started to fall down as she couldn't believe that the one she took care of when he was seven years old was… 'N… NOO…!'

She grabbed the arm and hugged it close to its body which ripped it off it's socket. "NOOO…! YOUNG MASTER! YOU CAN'T GO LIKE THIS!"

"UWAAAAA-AHH! I never even got the chance to tell you I lo-"

She then took a good look at the severed arm and immediately realized that it was part of a mannequin's. She then looked behind her to see Jaune and the reporter simply staring at her. "Ah?..."

Qrow chuckled because everyone knew what other Glynda was going to say if she didn't notice her surroundings. "I guess you really like them- PWAH!"

The drunkard found hitting a wall hard as his body crumpled to the floor. Tai checked on his teammate and found out he was unconscious. Shrugging his shoulders, the large man picked him up and dropped him on the floor near where he was seated. Everyone watched as Glynda had her aura up and her right hand twitching, begging anyone to make a comment about her.

None dared to do so, Cinder asked the Creator. "She can do that?"

The Creator glared at the entity at the back. "Normally she wouldn't but-"

"I thought it was fun." Void simply chuckled. "Fufu, that comment irked me so I allowed some physical comedy to happen."

Others were stunned at the Void's admittance to not allow the Creator to do what he wanted. The latter was enraged at being threatened to not give punishment for breaking his rules. 'You will pay, Void!'

"Glynda…?"

"Ha!" She then threw the arm in embarrassment where it landed on Jaune's face. "If you were watching, you should've said something, you idiot! Now come on, we have to go!"

Lisa was surprised, she was about to be crushed but the terrorist yanked her to where he was and they narrowly escaped such a horrifying fate. Then she witnessed the foreign hostage was now in a vehicle yelling at the two to come in. The one in the hazmat suit looked at her and she could earnestly tell he smiled…

She then noticed them enter as the van sped with police in hot pursuit. Only one sentence encapsulated the entire moment well for her… "What the fuck... just happened?"

She looked back to see the entire building completely collapse while the police still were on the chase after those terrorists. 'Did that terrorist just save my life?'

He had to count to thirty in order to calm down and shake off the anger. The Creator laughed as others were entirely perplexed as why the scenario just ended there. "Well that's the end of that one. We might go back to that one but of course we'll have to move along."

Ruby pouted. "Aww… then what's the next one."

The Creator smiled. "It's simply an adventure in a wonderful world."

Yang asked. "So where's the trailer?"

The Creator smiled again as he looked at the blonde. "I think everyone will know what I'm talking about but I still need to show you all."

"Hello everyone and welcome to my de- amazing story."

"Wait… is that Jaune?" Pyrrha asked.

The Creator nodded. "Yes we will get a mix of first person account and third person storytelling in this next one."

"WHY DID I… GO INTO ANOTHER WORLD?!"

The scene shifts to show Jaune with three girls. One is a beautiful blue haired girl with ample breasts, long legs, and blue waist-long hair that is partially tied into a loop with a water-molecule shaped clip. She excitedly showed her two fans that squirted water fitting into her color scheme and theme of dress of a vest, detached sleeves, thigh-high boots, an extremely short miniskirt, and a transparent underskirt.

The next one is a loli holding a black staff with a shiny red jewel on it. This one wears a classical witch attire such as a black cloak with gold border, choker, wizard's hat, fingerless gloves. The last girl was taller than all three and is well-endowed and also has light blue eyes and straight, long blonde hair, usually kept in a ponytail tied with a braid and red hair clips secured on both sides of her bangs. Clad on her black, white, and yellow armour, with a metal shoulder plate on her left side, and a wing-like cloth perched upon her right shoulder.

"This is my party… help me."

Mercury was confused, his sex god was with three very beautiful women next to him and he was possibly the team leader. "Why would he need to escape? That team looks capable."

The Creator bellowed with laughter at what the young assassin had just spoken of. "You'll see. But I need to show you the next trailer in case we cannot get the one I just showed you."

A middle aged man with a small unassuming frame and a generally underwhelming presence. He has mostly black hair with the sides greyed, light facial hair and he wears glasses. Right now, he looked like he was going to die. "I'm 5 billion Lien in debt! And I have to go through with a tournament."

A very handsome man with dark brown seaweed like hair as sweat dripped down his muscular yet well-defined body simply smiled at the older man. "Who cares? We're gonna be fighting soon and I'll finally know who's the strongest."

"But you might die Ren!"

Ren simply walked away while beckoning for the older man to follow him. "You need to work on your confidence, YamashitaKazuo"

AN: And that's the teasers for the next chapter, stay tuned for that. The first one is special because I place it on my top 5 favorite anime. The other one is if I can't do it because of internet problems (to watch the episodes) and because I'm hooked on it since I downloaded all the chapters of the manga and will only show the tournament. Another reason for why I decided to make a chapter on it... because I hate the Netflix version and it ruined the beauty of the manga along with its fights. CGI just hurts and gives me PTSD of Berserk 2016 and 2017.

I'm still trying to find the balance between what content to place whether comedic or very dark and serious. I'm also kinda sad that there was very little response in reviews and favorites but I guess that's life.
