The audience was surprised by the brown fluffball.
Jaune's children thought Kuriboh was the most adorable thing ever. They wanted to go play with him, but their mothers held them close, wary of the hairball with eyes and limbs.
Many were on guard, remembering how it was a Fiend-type and recalling their experience in the Nightmare Habitat. Almost all of the Arcs were the most on alert. Only Adrian looked at Kuriboh in awe, finding him adorable.
Kuriboh looked at Adrian and made a happy expression as evidenced by his arching eyelids.
Before the others could react, Kuriboh flew to Adrian, nuzzling the toddler's cheek and making him giggle.
(A/N: I do not own this image or Yu-Gi-Oh!)
The others were surprised by the sight.
Terra, still skeptical of Kuriboh, pulled Adrian closer to her and away from Kuriboh, surprising the fluffball and toddler. Saphron got in between Kuriboh and her family, afraid of what the former would do to the latter.
Kuriboh looked confused, while Adrian reached his hands out.
Suddenly, Belze appeared behind Kuriboh and grabbed him. Alsie and Sephiria appeared by Saphron and Terra, as the other Arcs got close, ready to defend them.
"Serenity Habitat!" Belze shouted.
.......................
Nothing happened.
"Serenity Habitat!"
.......................
Nothing happened.
The Arcs were surprised if not a little scared.
"It's not working?" Nicholas asked worried.
"How are we going to lock him in the Serenity Habitat?" Charden asked.
That news surprised the other guests.
A few wanted to believe Kuriboh wasn't as bad as other fiends.
Many nodded at the Arc Clan's plans.
"No!" Adrian shouted as he was turning and twisting, trying to get out of Terra's grasp.
Rather than attack them, Kuriboh looked at the others with a pleading stare, trying to show he meant no harm.
(A/N: I do not own this image or Yu-Gi-Oh!)
Many saw the sight, feeling aches in their hearts. They wanted to trust Kuriboh.
Others need more proof.
Suddenly, a flash of light burst. As it faded, a monster appeared.
(A/N: I do not own this image or Yu-Gi-Oh!)
[Name: Rude Kaiser]
[Type: Beast-Warrior]
[ATK: 1800]
[DEF: 1600]
The guests were surprised by the sight of another monster in the theatre.
"You wanted proof though," Jack thought.
The students started having flashbacks and becoming worried.
Soon, Rude Kaiser turned to the Arcs and was growling.
The Arcs tried to take their weapons out of their inventories, but couldn't. They tried to use their semblances, but still no dice. They couldn't even use their aura.
"Whoops. Flipped the switch off," Jack thought.
Rude Kaiser looked at Adrian, glaring at the star on his left wrist. His presence made the toddler tear up and bury his face into Terra's shoulder. He was crying in fear at the scary monster.
Feeling Adrian's fear, Kuriboh got angry at Rude Kaiser. The brown puffball flew out of Belze's grasp and faced the monster wanting to harm his master.
Kuriboh's determined look faced off against Rude Kaiser's frightening stare.
[Name: Kuriboh]
[Type: Fiend/Effect]
[ATK: 300]
[ATK: 200]
The rest of the audience saw the power gap between the two and believed Kuriboh stood no chance.
"Damn. He's dead," Scarlet said, earning nods from others.
"I can't look," Reese said, not wanting to see the adorable, brave puffball destroyed.
She wasn't the only one looking away.
Kuriboh began moving up and down, letting out his fearsome roars.
"Kuri! Kuri! Kuri! Kuri!" Kurboh roared.
(A/N: I do not own this image or Yu-Gi-Oh!)
Rude Kaiser rushed to axe down on Kuriboh. As he got closer, Kuriboh glowed with dark energy, much to the surprise of the guests.
When Rude Kaiser got close, the dark energy entered into his mouth. In seconds, he stopped his attack and stepped back, grasping his throat. Soon, he started kneeling as the dark energy fumed from his body.
[Name: Rude Kaiser]
[Type: Beast-Warrior]
[ATK: 0000]
[DEF: 0000]
Kuriboh charged Rude Kaiser, tackling him to the ground. Soon, Rude Kaizer shattered into millions of fragments. In seconds, they traveled into the star on Adrian's left wrist.
The guests who kept watching were dumbfounded and speechless.
Those who now were looking were briefed, becoming dumbfounded and speechless like the others.
Kuriboh went to the ground, looking tired and taking breaths.
Jack appeared by the Arcs.
"Did you really think Jaune would give Adrian something that could kill him?" Jack asked the Arcs telepathically.
Soon, he tapped on Adrian's shoulder, gaining his attention.
"That bad monster is all gone now."
He pointed to Kuriboh.
"He saved you."
Adrian looked at Kuriboh, seeing him fatigued. Then, with a determined expression, he looked at Terra.
"Mama. Down," Adrian said.
Seeing no danger, Saphron and Terra nodded. The latter put Adrian down. Like a penguin, the toddler waddled over to Kuriboh. The brown fluffball looked up at his master.
Soon, Adrian hugged Kuriboh, much to his surprise.
"Goo job, Kuwiboh," Adrian said smiling.
Hearing his master's praise, Kuriboh had a happy expression. He hugged him back.
Many smiled at the sight.
Those like Saphron, Terra, and the other Arcs were taking pictures.
Others were still silent over what just happened.
A few wondered about harnessing the power of monsters like Kuriboh.
"Amazing what you can get from the Serenity Habitat," Jack said, filling the others with surprise.
Many pieced together where Jaune got such a powerful creature. They wanted to venture into the Serenity Habitat to procure their own.
"Ruby. Winter. Weiss. Whitley. Those eggs you got are no different from Kuriboh."
"They can be just as powerful."
The four mentioned were surprised to hear that the eggs they got were of the same species as Kuriboh. They wondered what kind of creature would come out of their eggs.
"I'll give you all a two-hour break. Most of you will be staying in the theatre," Jack said.
He looked at the Arcs, specifically the elders.
"You Arcs though. Go to the other four. They should be waking up soon."
The Arcs nodded. However, instead of all of them going, only Sephiria, Belze, Charden, Gun-Hee, Liam, and Alsie went. They all said Liam and Alsie's room, causing them to be transported there.
Hearing the news of new Arcs surprised the other guests.
Many wondered who the new audience additions were.
Viktoria, Olympe, and Maki were excited to see more of their family.
The Arcanes and Branwens gritted their teeth, hating the idea of more Arcs.
Minutes would go by, and the guests would converse with each other.
While some were talking loudly about their interests and hobbies, some conversed quietly in secret about what they should do.
[With Schnees]
While Simon sat in Viktoria's lap, she and Olympe were talking with Maki. All four looked happy throughout the conversation.
Sienna sat with her daughter but felt awkward being near the Schnees.
Considering what the White Fang did to the Schnees, she's surprised the Schnees wouldn't be angry at her.
Her assessment was miscalculated. Most of the Schnees except for Nicholas were very angry at Sienna and her White Fang. They were just being cordial for the kids.
However, if the duel happened and they got paired with Sienna, they would not be kind anymore.
"In due time, some things will be resolved...Maybe," Jack thought.
[With the Branwens]
Raven and Vernal were enjoying a conversation with their daughters. Soon, Mara looked around, catching Qrow and Robyn in her glance. She began to smile. Immediately, she ran to them, surprising the two. She quickly grabbed their hands and tried pulling them out of their seats.
"C'mon! Let's all sit together!" Mara exclaimed.
Qrow and Robyn were still a bit surprised by the turn of events.
"I suggest you both sit with the Branwens," Jack said telepathically.
Feeling there was a threat in that "suggestion," the two got off from their seats and followed Mara. In time, they were sitting with the others. Hecate and Carmen were just as happy as Mara having their uncle and aunt with them.
However, the latter looked around, becoming confused.
"Huh? Where's-"
"He's sleeping. Don't worry you three will see him later," Jack said telepathically.
"Just talk with your uncle and aunt."
The three mentally nodded, deciding to follow the host's orders.
The atmosphere felt awkward between Qrow and Raven. Nevertheless, the four tried having a conversation with the girls. They even hoped to find out more about the Jaune Branwen. Universe.
[With the Arcanes]
Ember was braiding Cinder's hair, much to both their enjoyment.
Emerald was happily playing Patty Cake with Jade, while Topaz watched, waiting for her turn to play with her mama.
Looking through her scroll, Salem was reading a story to her daughters.
Roman, Roma, Neo, and Vanilla were playing poker. Soon, Neo put down her hand, revealing a royal flush.
"I win," Neo said, surprising Vanilla and the other Arcanes.
"Mom! You can talk?!" Vanilla shouted.
The Torchwicks were taken aback but then recalled that the WLJTD Universe had Neo's counterpart continue being mute.
"Uh. Yeah. Jack gave me a voice," Neo said nervously.
She started to feel self-conscious, hoping her daughter wouldn't hate her voice.
"D-Do you like it?"
Vanilla quickly hugged her mom, surprising her.
"Sound or no sound, Mommy is still mommy!" Vanilla happily shouted, earning nods from her sisters.
Soon, Neo started to get teary-eyed at the sweetness of her daughter. She hugged back her daughter, happy to have her in her life.
*GRUMBLE!*
Vanilla's stomach was rumbling very loud. Suddenly, a three-scoop ice cream sundae appeared with two spoons inside. The Arcane's mouth watered at her favorite food. She took one spoon before offering the second spoon to Neo, much to her surprise.
"F-For me?" Neo asked.
"Mhmm! We'll share!" Vanilla said happily.
Roman and Roma were surprised. For years, they knew Neo would never share her ice cream, so seeing her daughter do the exact opposite shocked them.
Neo became even more teary-eyed at her daughter's willingness to share ice cream. She gladly took the spoon. Both dug into the sundae, having bright smiles as they bit into the frozen treat.
Seeing the two happy, the Arcanes went back to their previous activities.
Yes. Some guests enjoyed each other's company. Other guests opted to take naps...
...Unfortunately, these dreams were not pleasant.
[Adam's Dream]
Adam is seen fighting a shadow figure. Both are clashing with katanas. Soon, his opponent unleashed a wind slash that cut him to ribbons. Although not dead, Adam's body was riddled with cuts.
He let go of his katana and fell to the ground, lying in a pool of his own blood.
"Big brother! Save us!" A voice shouted.
Adam widened his eyes. He looked up, only to see his parents and little sister.
He reached out his hand in a vain attempt to save them.
Adam's assailant stood over him. He raised his katana before bringing it down.
Adam jerked forward, his eyes widened and his breathing heavy. The other WF members looked at their leader, surprised by his actions.
"Adam. Are you alright?" Bane asked worried for his leader.
Adam looked at his constituents.
"Uh. Yeah," He said before looking in the distance.
"Just a bad dream."
Blake was playing with her little brother, but she stole a glance at her former mentor, hoping he was okay.
While no one pried into the dream, they wondered what kind of dream it was to make Adam so nervous.
[Nicholas Schnee's Dream]
He was walking through a forest. Soon, he came across Jaune. Happy to see him, he was about to call out.
Suddenly, Jaune's spontaneously combusted with black and purple flames, much to the shock of Nicholas.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" He screamed in excruciating agony.
"Jaune!" Nicholas shouted in worry.
Jaune saw Nicholas. He put his hand out to his friend.
"Nicholas! Help me!" He pleaded.
Nicholas's eyes widened before he jerked forward from his seat. He took a few breaths. He looked around, noticing how his family was busy playing with Simon.
They had not noticed his recent state of mind.
Nicholas looked away and sighed in relief.
"Just a dream," He muttered under his breath.
"I hope."
However, unbeknownst to him, Klein had noticed Nicholas's actions. He grew worried over his former employer.
[Lie Ren's Dream]
The sound of a baby crying could be heard as Lie was running toward it. He looked out in the distance, seeing the shadowy figures running away. One of them was carrying the crying baby.
"Renny," A familiar voice said behind him.
Lie stopped, having recognized the voice instantly. It's been with him for most of his life. He turned around but saw something that horrified him.
Before him was Nora sitting on an elegant throne. However, the more she sat on it, the more her vibrant orange hair turned into a sickly gray and her well-kept body became emaciated.
"Nora!" Lie shouted before running to save her.
Suddenly shadow figures pushed Lie down to the ground. He struggled to get out of their grasp.
"Goodbye, Ren," She said weakly.
Nora closed her eyes and bowed her head as the throne took more from her.
"No!"
Soon, more shadowy figures piled onto him, clouding him more in darkness.
He shot up awake and reached his hand out.
"Nora!" Lie shouted.
He began panting.
"Ren?" Nora said.
Right near him was Nora. She, her parents, and her grandma were next to his parents. He began to remember how they all went together for a chat, while he took a nap. All six looked at him with concern.
They weren't the only ones. His friends and professors looked worried as well.
"Are you okay?" Nora asked worried for her crush/love.
"Y-Yeah," Lie said his voice trembling.
"J-Just a bad dream."
"What happened, son?" Li and Bjorn both asked.
"It's nothing," Lie said, not even focusing on Bjorn's way of questioning.
"At least you hope it's nothing," Nora said, somewhat surprising Lie and the others.
She began to smile.
"Don't look so surprised. I've been with you for years. I can read you like an open book," She said with a happy tone.
The Rens and Valkyries smiled upon hearing that.
"Nora," Lie said.
"If it's bothering you, you should tell us."
Lie looked at the others, noticing their looks of concern. To be honest, Lie didn't want to make them worry about the dreams he'd been having, but it seemed his own mental health and bottling of feelings was having the same concerning effect, if not more damaging.
"Alright. I'll tell you all about the dreams," Lie said.
Soon, Lie recanted the dreams he had about the baby girl and Nora.
Nora was surprised that her crush was having such dreams. She wished he told her sooner so she could comfort him.
Those who eavesdropped were surprised he had such nightmares. They hoped they'd stop for him.
However, the Rens and Valkyries weren't just surprised. No. They were frightened and horrified.
"Some dreams, huh?" Nora asked before chuckling a bit.
"Yeah," Lie said still worried and afraid of those dreams.
Nora patted Lie on the back, but it was more like a slap to him due to his partner's herculean strength.
Some looked at the scene, wincing.
"That gotta hurt," They thought.
As Lie held in some of his pain, Nora spoke up.
"Well, those dreams are not going to happen," She said.
"Why?" Lie asked.
"Because we're all training to become stronger."
"After some time here, I bet you our team JNPR will be able to handle anything!" She exclaimed in pride and confidence.
Lie was a bit taken back. Soon, he chuckled.
"You always did the see the bright side when I'm like this," Lie said, remembering times in the past when her bubbly and happy attitude got him out of his moods.
"And I always will," Nora said happily.
"Thanks, Nora," Lie said smiling.
Although Lie was happy, in the back of his mind, some thoughts arose.
"Will you though?"
"Can we stay like this forever?"
While Lie and Nora were in their moment, the Rens and Valkyries did their best to look like nothing was wrong. However, their false smiles only covered their shock and fear of the startling revelations from Lie's dream...
....And they weren't the only family in for a rude awakening.
[With the Arc Clan]
Sephiria, Belze, Charden, Gun-Hee, Liam, and Alsie were in the room with the other Arcs.
Train, Jenos, Rinslet, and Nizer, Beluga were still asleep. Suddenly, their eyes widened before they shot out of bed, surprising the others.
Soon, Rinselt put her hands on her face and started crying.
Sephiria went to comfort her cousin-in-law.
"Rinselet. What's wrong?" She asked worrying about her.
"It's too horrible," Rinslet said, still in fear and horror.
However, her words stirred up the sadness in the Train, Jenos, Beluga, and Nizer. They tried to contain their tears, but three of the former started tearing up.
Nizer gripped Belze's coat.
"D-Don't do it," Nizer begged.
"Don't do what?" Belze asked confused.
"Don't banish Jaune!" He shouted with tears streaming down his face.
This statement surprised the others. They wondered what happened to them while asleep...
...Soon, they would get their answer.
Time would pass, and the short break was over.
"Alright. The break is over," Jack said.
He snapped his fingers. In a second, the Arcs who left and were indisposed appeared before them. However, they had crestfallen looks on their faces.
Many of the guests, especially the Arcs, wondered what was going on with them.
However, the Arc-Schnees and Khan-Arc looked overjoyed to see their family.
"Yay! Uncles and Aunt!" Maki and Olympe shouted in joy, running to them.
While Olympe hugged Beluga, Maki hugged Rinslet.
Both Arcs were surprised, losing their sorrowful appearances.
"Mother. May Simon and I go greet them?" Viktoria asked politely.
"Of course, dear," Winter said smiling.
Viktoria nodded. She took Simon from her and carried him as they walked to the other Arcs.
The new Arc guests were surprised by the sudden encounter of these children they never met before. They were also confused as to why these kids were hugging strangers (them).
Jack snapped his fingers.
From that, the information was put into their heads. Soon, their confusion turned to surprise when they realized who was in front of them.
"I suggest you play along," Jack said telepathically to the new guests.
The other Arcs gave a nervous mental nod of understanding.
"Good to see you again...Olympe," Beluga said awkwardly as he lied about knowing her.
"Nice to see you again, Maki," Rinslet said less awkwardly and with more confidence.
The Arc daughters mentioned smiled happily at this meeting.
"That's just great. More Arcs," Pandora and Hecate said sarcastically at the same time.
The rest of the Arcanes and Branwens were glaring at the Arcs.
In their heads, their mothers wondered how they could fix this somehow.
"I'm glad to have such celebrities in my theatre," Jack said.
"Celebrities?" Weiss asked, not recognizing them.
"Why yes. They're quite famous in the criminal underworld."
This surprised the other guests.
The criminals were intrigued.
"The Criminal Underworld?" Lil'Miss asked, not recognizing them.
"Indeed. You may not recognize them because they aren't wearing masks or a disguise."
Jack cleared his throat.
"With that being said, I'd like to introduce you to the illustrious three: Elena Pierce, Cerberus, and Black Cat."
The older criminals became paled upon hearing those last two names. They felt like death and misery were visiting them.
"Oh shit! Black Cat's gonna deliver some bad luck!" Roman and Roma thought frightened.
"I sold fake transcripts to their relative?!" Junior thought in fear.
Those like Ozpin, Qrow, Raven, Vernal, James, and Winter were surprised to hear this. They heard tales of them. They were even more surprised that they were Arcs.
Junior stood up in fear.
Roman picks up his granddaughter, while Roma grabs Neo.
Lil'Miss has the same idea grabbing her daughters for safety.
"Room!" The four older ones shouted.
.....................
"Room!"
.....................
"Room!"
.....................
"Room! Damn it! Room!"
........Still Nothing......
Soon, everyone else looked at them. Most wondered why they were acting so scared.
Only a few knew why. They couldn't blame them.
The moment Train, Nizer, Jenos, and Beluga saw them, the older criminals started having panic attacks.
"Relax, you squeaky clean do-wells," Jack calmly said to the criminals.
"And when I say that I mean it. SIT DOWN," Jack said telepathically.
The older criminals gulped in fear. While they feared Cerberus and Black Cat, they feared their host even more. They complied and sat back down.
The young ones were confused. They wanted an answer from the oldies.
"Time to take your seats."
Soon, the new Arc guests took a seat with their family, the Schnees, Sienna, and their relatives from other universes.
"Let's start the viewing."
