AN: Hello, and welcome to my newest story, which happens to be a reaction story. Unlike most reaction stories I've seen, where they usually have Jaune being the main character of their AU's, my story will have different characters for every AU I can come up with. Not only that, but I will be using this story as a way to create short stories that I also come up with. Also, before I forget, I'll be adding the people/franchises from where I got most of my AU's from.

Without a further ado, I present to you...

RWBY: AU Theater!

Now, most of you may be wondering as to why I would create a reaction story. The reason why I decided to do this, is because the stories that I've read, they're either: mostly about Jaune (Because they got it off of some other person. Which includes me!), the way they did the chapters weren't good, or they just stop updating the thing altogether.

Which is why you are now at this point.

Anyways, to start off this story, we'll have - call me a hypocrite - Jaune Arc from my own AU: "The Assassin Known As Paladin". We'll be taking the Jaune of that AU, and put him through an event that is similar to the film: John Wick, and have the canon characters react to that Jaune.

John Wick is owned by Thunder Road Pictures, and is directed by Chad Stahelski.

Time to get this story started.

HERE WE GO!

Abandoned Theater -

Inside an abandoned theater, a sudden burst of light had filled the entire room, and as it faded, there was a small group of people there. Those people were only eight teenagers: six girls and two boys. Most of the teens there were seventeen-years-old, but one girl was only fifteen-years-old. They were all different in their own ways, and they were also unconscious, that was until the youngest of the group had started to wake up, and was confused as she found herself in a theater.

She immediately went to one of the other teens, a busty blonde dressed in revealing clothes. As she was shaking her shoulders, the blonde had groaned,

"Ruby...five more minutes..."

"Yang. Yang, wake up. You need to see where we are."

"What do you mean where...we...are...?"

At this point, Yang had noticed where both she and her sister, alongside their friends, were currently at. That was when she helped Ruby in waking up all their friends. One by one, each of the teens had woken up, and each one was confused as to where they were.

"Ren, I'm scared..."

"It's okay, Nora..."

"Who's dumb enough to kidnap students of Beacon Academy?"

"Are you alright, Jaune?"

"I should be asking you same thing..."

"Wait, where are our weapons?"

That was when another flash of light had filled the room, this time a lone being was floating above them. This person appeared to be male, wearing jeans and a gray hoodie, the hood was covering his face, and in his hands was a laptop. He noticed the hostile looks he was getting from the eighteens, in which he stated,

"Calm down. I can explain everything - "

"Where are we?"

"You're in an alternate universe, from there, I will be showing you eight, and possibly others in the future, alternate versions of yourself, each one being totally different from you. If you want this to be done, then I suggest that you sit down, and enjoy the show."

That was when he typed something on his laptop, and various snacks had appeared in the eight teens' hands. And with that, the figure had disappeared, leaving the eight to just process what was going to happen to them right now. They were all brought here, just to watch alternate versions of themselves, and that was the only reason that they were brought to this theater. In all honesty, they couldn't find anything bad with what the figure just told them.

And...they couldn't help but be a bit curious as to see where this was going.

So they all took seats that were next to each other, and then waited for the big-screen in front of the to start playing one of these..."Alternate Universes".

Outside a Valean Club -

In the middle of the night, standing in the back of some club was a giant of a man. He was middle-aged, with white hair styled in a buzz-cut with a matching beard, dressed in a black suit, with an earpiece on his right ear.

If it wasn't obvious already, the man was a bouncer.

But, unlike most bouncers, he was guarding the..."Secret-Entrance" for the more..."Elite-Members". Speaking of which, that was when three individuals, all wearing black suits as well walked up to him, in which he allowed the group to enter the room. After that, he had resumed his post, making sure that no one of suspicion would get in the club.

As soon as the guard was shown, Yang simply stated,

"Well, that guy is probably gonna die, or turn out to be a massive pussy."

"Yang!"

Ruby had glared at her sister, and at her language, throwing popcorn at her. The blonde simply retaliated by grabbing her sister in a headlock, telling her,

"What? I'm just sayin' - "

"Guys, look."

As the guard was standing, a handgun was pointed at his head, the wielder of the weapon was hidden in the shadows, but from the looks of it, it seems that the person-in-question is a bit shorter than the guard. Without losing his cool, the man slowly turned his head, and greeted the man.

"Mr. Arc."

Walking out of the shadows, Jaune Arc had the gun still aimed at the side of his head. The blonde was dressed in a dark-blue dress-shirt, which was underneath a black vest, and a black tie. On his lower-body, he was dressed in black slacks, and black dress-shoes. He also had a black fedora on his head, leather gloves on his head, and a brown holster, which carried not only the gun in his hand, but the one that was underneath his right shoulder.

That was when Jaune greeted the guard in return.

"Francis."

As soon as they saw Jaune appear in the screen, nearly everyone had reacted differently.

Ruby was shocked seeing her friend about to kill someone, but also let out a tiny squeal when she saw his guns. Weiss was also shocked, so shocked that she spatted out her drink. Blake felt her eyes widened as she saw Jaune come out of nowhere, and she had a faint blush, noting how serious Jaune had looked. Yang was more visual in her interest of the Jaune onscreen, because she simply smirked, and let out a whistle as she took in how well he cleaned up.

"Damn, Vomit-Boy, look at you, all dressed-up and sexy."

"Yang...shut up."

Pyrrha was blushing heavily, mostly due to the fact that Jaune indeed look sexy on the screen. Ren simply looked startled, but Nora was screaming about how cool Jaune looked. That left Jaune, whose jaw dropped, looking at himself on the screen. He was surprised that he would be watching an alternate-version of himself right off the bat. He looked up, only to see the hooded-figure to return. Then he said to him,

"Is that...me?"

"Yes. That version of Jaune Arc is actually from an Alternate Universe that I created. This one is different, due to his backstory."

"And that is...?"

"He comes from a long line of assassins."

"WHAT!?"

Everyone all screamed the word, absolutely shocked that Jaune - the lovable idiot! - was an assassin. And from what they could tell on the screen, that version of Jaune looked like killing didn't bother him at all.

The guard, now named Francis, had simply looked at the gun that was against his head. From what he could tell, Jaune was doing something, something that probably wouldn't result in his death if he played things right.

"Are you on business tonight, sir?"

"Sadly, yes, I am. Why don't you take the night off?"

After hearing those words come out of the blonde's mouth, Francis had simply removed his earpiece, and turned to face the young Arc. Then he told the blonde,

"Thank you, sir."

And with that, Francis had left the entrance, allowing Jaune to head inside the club.

"Wow, Jaune, it seems like that this version of you is really well-respected."

"Either that, or people in that world are really scared of you."

"Which is weird, considering that you are neither of those two things."

"Wow...thanks guys."

The three guys that had entered the club before Jaune were now dressed in robes, as if they were getting ready to bathe or relax in a pool. One of the men was near the sink, humming a song to himself, unknown of who had just entered. He heard the door open, which made him look up to see who it was, only to see the door closing as soon as it was opened. Thinking that it was just someone else, he began to wash his face in the faucet.

But, he didn't notice that Jaune had grabbed one of his associates from behind, and stabbed him in the neck with a really big dagger.

Yang had immediately covered Ruby's eyes, shocked to see that Jaune had killed a man without hesitation. Everyone else was similar to Yang, shocked to see that a man would be dying in front of them. Jaune, however, had nearly lost his appetite, disturbed by how this version of himself had no problems with killing.

That was the hooded-figure said,

"It's not as bad as you think."

"Really? I just watched MYSELF, murder a man in cold-blood."

"If it makes you feel any better, most of the men Jaune kills in this event were all criminals."

"Wait...how many people does he kill?"

"I forgot in all honesty."

The man then looked up from the faucet, noticing the trail of blood that was sliding down from one of the lockers. He turned around, only to be punched in the face by Jaune, who had a cold-look in his eye. That was when he said to the man,

"Where's Lucas?"

"Fuck you, motherfucker!"

The man took a wild swing at Jaune, who easily dodged it, kicking the man in the leg, a loud crack was heard as the man shouted in pain. Jaune then wrapped the man's towel around his neck, and proceeded to slowly strangle him. In a hostile voice, Jaune asked him,

"Where's. Lucas?"

"B-Bathhouse...downstairs!"

The man had hoped that Jaune would let him go now, but then he heard the next thing that came out of Jaune's mouth.

It was something that made him realize what Lucas did to the blonde.

"You stole my car...and you fucked with my girls!"

Jaune then dunked his head into the sink, which was full to the brim at this point, drowning him with his forearm over the man's neck. In a last-ditch attempt, the man had tried to cuss out Jaune underwater. But, all that did was make Jaune snap his neck, letting go of the body and watched as it fell to the floor. Before he left, Jaune noticed that the man dropped his Scroll, in which he pocketed just in case.

Everyone in the theater had become speechless, even Nora, who was holding onto Ren. They had never seen such brutality come from one of their friends, speaking of which, Jaune actually did lose his lunch, puking into a trash can that appeared before him.

"I'm...I'm alright. Just needed...to brace myself for what's going to happen next."

"Are you sure? Because - "

"Wait. I just realized that the other-Jaune said his 'girls'. Is he a dad in this universe?"

The hooded-figure looked at Ruby, before coughing into his hand awkwardly. He said,

"No...this Jaune has...his own...harem."

"Oh...Oh...OH."

That was when Ruby's face matched the color of her cloak, as did Pyrrha's face, and hid herself into her cloak.

The screen now shows another dead person, except this time this man was killed behind tinted glass, blood was slowly covering it as the man fell. That was when another person, a guard, had turned the corner of some underground bathhouse, only to be ambushed by Jaune. Before he could react, Jaune placed a hand over his mouth, and pulled out his dagger.

The blonde had slammed him into the wall, punching him in the throat, before stabbing his dagger into his lower-jaw. The man slowly dropped to the floor, but he kept looking at Jaune's cold, angry stare as he now died.

Jaune then turned towards his target, Lucas Marengo, chilling in some pool alongside other men and women.

Before he could think of a plan to kill Lucas, a guard came from a door behind him, who immediately went for his gun. But, Jaune was faster, and brought his dagger to the man's face, only for the man to grab his arm before he could stab him. He tried to aim his gun at him, but Jaune had knocked it out of his hands, making the guard tackle the blonde into a towel rack, alerting everyone, including Lucas, as to what was going on.

The guard threw a left jab at him, but Jaune grabbed that punch, and threw the guard onto the ground, with him on top of the guard. Seeing a second guard on his left, Jaune pulled out a white handgun, shooting the man three times in the chest.

The gunshots had alerted everyone, which made most of them leave the bathhouse in a panicked state. Lucas was about to reach for his own gun, only for Jaune to aim his gun at the boy, whose eyes only widened in shock and realization. But, Jaune wanted to make Lucas afraid of him, so he aimed his pistol at the guard that was on the floor, and put a round into his head, making sure that he didn't eye-contact.

He slowly walked towards him, only for a muscular man to appear in front of him, dressed in a male-bikini, and grab the arm that was holding the gun. That gave Lucas enough time to run away, while Jaune watched as his target was getting away. Angry at the person in front of him, he stabbed him in the shoulder, causing him to scream, but he then stomped on his foot really hard, which caused him to let go of him.

Jaune then shot the man thrice in the chest, and once in the head, the man falling backwards into the pool.

He aimed his gun back at Lucas, who grabbed a girl as a hostage, running towards the stairs, leading to the dance-floor of the club. Jaune only looked in anger, for he didn't have a clear shot on Lucas, and was forced to head upstairs as well, when more guards had appeared behind him, firing rounds at him.

Everyone in the room was disgusted at the actions of Lucas. Not only did he do something bad to Jaune, but he also brought a random civilian into this. Despite the fact that it was only an Alternate Universe, they all agreed to make sure that this guy was gonna get it.

"Disgraceful."

"I wanna break his legs. And his everything."

"I'm not gonna stop you, Nora."

Blake then said to no-one, but to herself apparently,

"Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Jaune had unloaded four rounds into one person, and that was AFTER he killed someone, just to make a statement?"

Lucas is now onto the dance-floor, ignoring the weird looks he was receiving, trying to get out of the club as soon as possible. As heavy techno music filled the room, Jaune was walking towards Lucas, who now had multiple guards come after the blonde.

Jaune immediately pulled out a gun, a black handgun this time, and shot a round into the chest of a running guard. He shot the man a second time, letting him drop to the floor, and immediately knocked a gun away from his face, shooting another guard three times in the chest. As he was about to proceed, he noticed that the man on the floor was still breathing, so he fired his gun at his head, killing him.

Jaune saw Lucas running up another flight of stairs, making him go after him.

Before I forget, did I mention that everyone on the dance-floor was still dancing?

"Wait...WHY were they still dancing, even though Jaune had killed two people in front of them. I mean, they were LITERALLY around them when it happened!"

"It's kind of obvious, Weiss."

"How so?"

"Because you can't stop the music!"

At that point, Yang, Ruby, and Nora had gotten up and started dancing for some reason. Weiss simply face-palmed, while everyone else was starting to look back at the screen. Pyrrha, Ren, and Blake found it interesting that Jaune's skill with a gun was most impressive. Even more so when he was able to hit vital points of his targets as well. Pyrrha mentally made sure to see if her Jaune was as capable of using firearms as his alternate-self.

Jaune is seen running out of the dance-floor, grabbing a guard on his right by the shoulder, and fired his gun into his chest twice, before switching to another guard, killing the man with a headshot. He then switched to a third guard, killing him with only two bullets: one to the body, and one to the chest. As he walked forward, a guard tried to grab his gun, only for Jaune to shoot him in the leg, and throw him onto the ground, as a bullet had entered his head. The blonde then shot another guard, and then jabbed the barrel into his throat, making the man step back, backing into one of the columns.

Jaune raised his gun at the guard's head, only to hear a click as his gun was empty. Then, almost humorously, Jaune easily threw out the magazine, loaded in a new one, and shot the guard in the face, before proceeding into the next room.

He immediately saw a guard, with a gun pointed at the blonde's head. Luckily, Jaune had ducked underneath the shot, sweeping the guard off his feet, and shoot a guard that was from the previous room. Jaune felt the guard from the floor grab him, only to slam the guard's head onto the floor, and shoot another guard that was coming up the stairs. That's when he looked at the guard underneath him, and shot him in the eye.

"Damn...seriously though, how skilled of an assassin IS this alternate-Jaune?"

Nearly everyone looked up at the hooded-figure, who only said,

"If you want to know, I suggest you look into this Jaune's AU: 'The Assassin Known as Paladin'."

They didn't know why, but they felt like that was like a publication of something.

Jaune is now seen on the upper-floor of the dance-floor, reloading his handgun, and walked inside, immediately killing a guard. Then he saw another come up from behind only for Jaune to crack the man's arm, that was holding his pistol, and shoot him underneath his jaw. He turned around and immediately killed two more guards, one by a simple headshot, and the other was thrown to the ground, getting shot as well.

Jaune finally saw Lucas, and finally had a clear shot, only for a man with a beard and curly mustache to come out of a door, shooting at Jaune. He was forced to take cover, and waited for the man to come closer, where he shot the man in the foot, making him fall towards him. Jaune then grabbed an empty bottle, and smashed it against the man's face.

As the man was disorientated, Jaune actually grabbed the man's beard, slammed his head against a table, and shot two rounds into his head.

In all honestly, Teams RWBY and JNPR had laughed a bit, seeing Jaune grab the man by his beard.

Two more guards had appeared in front of Jaune, one of which appeared to be the head-security guard. The man shot Jaune twice in the stomach, making grunt in pain, as well as fall onto the floor. But, that wasn't enough to keep Jaune down, as he got back up, and shoot the guard that was next to the head-security guard. As he got behind cover, Jaune was panting as he felt the bullets hit his bulletproof vest, but it still hurt like Hell.

He then noticed that not only was both his handguns out of ammo, he was also out of magazines to replace them with.

Jaune then lunged at the head-guard, throwing the man over his shoulder, and then disarmed him of his weapon. As the two got up, the guard had kicked Jaune in the stomach, making him stumble backwards. But he didn't let up, as he continued to kick Jaune with high-kicks and low-kicks to the body. Jaune tried to punch him, but the guard grabbed his arm, punching him in the stomach again.

That was when Jaune got punched in the face, twice, only to be flipped onto the floor by the guard.

Now everyone couldn't help but wince as they watched Jaune getting beat up by this guard. And from the looks of it, this guard was actually skilled enough to take Jaune head-on.

"I honestly hope that Jaune kills him."

Nobody knew who said that, but they had to agree with that statement.

As Jaune got up, the guard tried to kick him again, only for Jaune to tackle him into a nearby table. The blonde had tried to claw out his eyes or something, but that was when the guard grabbed a bottle that was next to him, and smashed it against Jaune's head.

The guard then proceeded to stab Jaune in the stomach, only for Jaune to get rid of the shattered bottle.

That was when Jaune was thrown over the guard's shoulder, and was then thrown off of the second-floor, hitting the first-floor pretty hard.

Everyone winced as they saw the fall, and Pyrrha was concerned for her partner's well-being. Jaune was actually worried for himself, for he did not want to see himself die right in front of him.

Jaune groaned in pain as his body hit the floor, rolling onto his back. He noticed that the guard was looking at him, and that was when he grabbed a revolver from an ankle holster hidden underneath his pants, and fire a round at the guard. But, the guard had immediately retreated before the bullet could get near him. The blonde could only blame himself as he noticed that Lucas got away from him.

He then noticed that the dance-floor was empty, due to how Jaune was killing people right and left.

Slowly, and painfully, Jaune managed to get back on his feet, and made his way for the front entrance of the club. As he walked down the stairs of the entrance, covered in blood, bruises, and glass shards, he felt something in his pants vibrate. He looked down only to realize that it was the Scroll he took from that guy he killed earlier. He answered the call, and immediately heard Lucas' voice on the other end of the call.

"Victor, where the fuck are you?"

"Victor's dead."

He could tell that Lucas was shocked to hear not only Jaune's voice from the call, but was also shocked to learn that his friend died tonight. And to rub salt on the wound, Jaune had repeated the words Lucas had told him on the night he stole his car, and hurt with his girls.

"Everything's got a price, bitch."

And with that, he hung-up on the call, and threw the Scroll away, limping away from the crime-scene.

As the screen had stopped projecting the image, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked, amazed, and disturbed as they saw this Jaune work. He was obviously much more skilled than the actual-Jaune, but he also seemed to be more skilled with firearms, rather than bladed weapons.

Then there was the weapons themselves. Usually, most weapons had a secondary form, but it seemed like Jaune's weapons were only to shoot, or to stab.

It was really interesting to see Jaune use a weapon, other than a simple sword and shield.

That was when the hooded-figure asked them,

"What did you think of the first Alternate Universe?"

"It was amazing! All those weapons Jaune had - "

"The kickass fights were awesome, even though Vomit-Boy got destroyed in the last fight."

"It was interesting, to say the least. But I can't exactly respect someone whose an assassin."

"I agree with the 'assassin' thing, but it was interesting to see Jaune's fighting style was mostly revolved around firearms and CQC."

"IT WAS AWESOME THAT JAUNE-JAUNE COULD DO ALL THAT!"

"Yes, Nora, it was amazing. But I'm more curious as to why Jaune was after Lucas..."

"I found it weird, seeing myself on the screen, especially killing those guys."

"The fights were most impressive, but it also seemed like Jaune still has a human-side. I mean, even though this version of Jaune is an assassin, he still expressed concern when he couldn't shoot through through the hostage, and it was also appeared to me that Jaune had a personal vendetta with Lucas. Why is that?"

"Well...at some point I'll explain it to you, but I gotta do something first."

AN: That was the first chapter of RWBY: AU Theater, tell me what you guys thought about it while I make the second chapter.

This time, I'll be having Ozpin kick the asses of some people, and next time I will be bringing more characters into the AU Theater. Which reminds me, if you guys have a suggestion, don't be afraid and tell me what I should do as an AU or short-story.

See ya later!
