[RWBY] The Great Temporal Step-Sibling War!

[TheFabulousCustodes]

"So how did you not know?" Athena frowned as she rolled Jaune's words around in her mind, "From what you've said it sounds like my daughter was sending you clear signals from the beginning."

"Dad was just... ya know... dense," Xander supplied from the side. "And it probably didn't help that the examples of romance he saw growing up were all very overt; nobody's learning subtle flirting from Granny Isabel and Grandpa Nick."

"Hey," Jaune objected for his parent's sake, but it wasn't a heated objection.

Yeah, Holidays can drag for alot of reasons.

Question on your version of May.

Alot of fanon has May hiding some serious sweater puppies under that hoodie (which is obviously shown here), but one of the other things is her missing an eye for some reason.

Does she have both of her eyes? I don't recall whether it has been mentioned, or not.

She does have both eyes. She's just keeping one covered to rest it.

Nora and his father had provided a big enough distraction for Jaune to make for the ballroom exit. He managed to get past the bickering members of May's team, out into the hallway, and then went into an adjoining courtyard. It was small, open to the sky above, and had a small but elegant marble fountain trickling happily.

He sat down on a stone bench, took in a deep breath, and let it all out as he leaned back on his hands.

"You all right, Mister Arc?"

"Gah!" Jaune jumped. He looked over his shoulder. Glynda Goodwitch stood there, looking somewhat amused.

"Uh, y-yeah, I'm fine," Jaune nodded quickly, "Just fine. How are you?"

Glynda smiled very softly. It was, frankly, the first time Jaune had ever seen it on the woman's face. It made her look even more beautiful.

"About the same," she admitted quietly. Jaune winced then slowly nodded.

"Yeah," he mumbled, "Just... Needed some time alone."

Glynda sucked in a breath.

"I... Needed the same," she admitted. "I can go if you-"

"No! No, no, that's fine!" Jaune insisted, waving his hands, "I mean, um... It's more I just need some... Peace and quiet."

Glynda nodded again. Jaune scooted over and patted the bench.

"If you want to sit?"

"I would appreciate it," Glynda said. She walked over, and sat down next to him with the same elegance she did almost everything. The two sat in silence for a time, just watching the water fountain. Water shot into the air, and fell in a brilliance cascade down the many stone layers back to the bottom pool.

A bird chirped nearby. Jaune smiled and closed his eyes.

"It's nice," he said finally.

"Mm," Glynda agreed, "I meditate a great deal. Helps me focus."

"Same," Jaune admitted, "I do it with Ren every morning. Helped me get my Aura under control."

Silence fell again. Jaune tried to focus on Ren's teachings. To not overthink, to not stress out, to just be. To be here, aware, but not stressed. Not tensed. Just existing.

He snuck a peek at Glynda: She was doing the same. Her eyes were shut, and while she was still poised, she looked far more relaxed than he'd ever seen her.

She then opened her eyes and stared at him. He flushed and looked away.

"Er, sorry," he mumbled. "I've uh, I've never seen you... Relaxed. Or smiling."

She stared at him longer, her expression unreadable. He coughed.

"Y-You look... Really beautiful."

A blush emerged on her cheeks. Jaune coughed, and held his hands up.

"Er, um, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-!"

"We are married with several children in a future timeline, Mister Arc," Glynda said wryly, a hint of amusement in her eyes, "You need to stop acting like an awkward 12-year-old on an ice cream date."

"Y-Yeah, but..." Jaune grimaced. "I dunno... That's kind of the problem."

Glynda was silent. Jaune worked his jaw.

"I mean... You probably know about my childhood and all?"

"I was friends with your parents, so I did keep up," Glynda said quietly. Jaune's eyes bulged out.

"W-Wait, you were?! You did?!"

Glynda chuckled.

"I knew you were a fraud from the moment you walked into Beacon Academy, Mister Arc," she said with a small smile, "But the Initiation is the real test. You passed. So you were accepted."

"O-Oh," Jaune grimaced. "I-I see... Well... I guess you know why I'm... Ya know..."

He bowed his head.

"And I apparently help save the world in the future," he sighed.

"Not alone," Glynda said encouragingly. Jaune nodded.

"I-I know. It's just overwhelming. I literally just figured out my Semblance yesterday. My kids, my... You all... My parents..."

He rubbed his face and sighed heavily. Glynda hesitated a moment before she reached out and rested a hand on his shoulder. He looked over at her. Glynda's green eyes held him spellbound as she spoke.

"Your father started out as a brain damaged orphan raised by a crazy old paladin in an abandoned church. Your mother started out as an arrogant control freak desperate to provide for her four younger siblings and restore honor to her family name. Your godparents started out as exiles with only the clothes on their back and prices on their heads, their own country turned against them. And I... I was a reckless, foolish young woman who abused her powers and lashed out at the world. One who... Who said terrible things to her parents."

Glynda sucked in a small breath.

"Things she never got to apologize for," she added. The fountain sounded very loud in the sudden silence as Jaune paled.

"M-Miss Goodwitch," Jaune whispered, his voice thick with compassion. He reached up to squeeze her hand. She squeezed his back.

"We know that in eleven futures, the world is saved and you have a happy ending in each," Glynda said quietly. "It will be difficult, but knowing you can succeed helps immensely. It's helping me immensely."

"I suppose it would," Jaune said softly. He looked back at the fountain. "At the same time... Now we're not sure if those endings will happen. And... And I can't just choose one. I can't just sacrifice everyone else."

Glynda nodded slowly.

"I know," she said, "We had a similar conversation."

"We?"

"Your wives," Glynda explained. Jaune blinked.

"O-Oh... So um... What did you conclude?"

Well..." Glynda took a deep breath, "I believe we're going to do our best to... Share time with you. As best we can."

Jaune's jaw dropped.

"I uh... Um..." He slowly nodded. "O-Okay."

Glynda raised an eyebrow.

"To get to know you better," she said, "Anything... Untoward is out of the question."

"Of-Of course!" Jaune said with rapid nods of his head, "Absolutely!"

He tried to pull his hand away... But Glynda held fast. That tiny smile reappeared on her face.

"Again, acting like an awkward 12-year-old is not the way to do things," Glynda said, stern but almost playfully so.

"Y-Yes, Miss Goodwitch," Jaune said. He coughed at her look. "Er... Glynda?"

Glynda was thoughtful. She nodded as though approving of how he said her name.

"Yes... Jaune," she said quietly. His mouth went dry.

Wow... I-I think I like her saying my name...

"AHEM."

Glynda and Jaune looked to their right. Penny was in front of... All of the rest of Jaune's future wives (sans Cinder, for obvious reasons). The gynoid herself was beaming like the sun as the other women glared.

"As you can see, Friends," Penny announced, "Friend Jaune and Professor Goodwitch are not engaged in coitus!"

"W-We wouldn't be!" Glynda sputtered. "It would be inappropriate!"

"You're holding hands," Blake stated flatly, "That appropriate for a teacher to do?"

Glynda scowled.

"I am one of the potential future brides," Glynda stated firmly, "I have as much reason and right to spend time with him!"

"Perhaps I can set up a schedule!" Penny said cheerfully.

"A schedule for what?"

All eyes turned to the other side of the courtyard. Sun and the rest of Team SSSN was standing there, Illyia with them. The chameleon Faunus was still in handcuffs but didn't seem unhappy about it.

Ruby acted first to try and save the situation.

"Penny don't-!"

"For Friend Jaune to have equal time with all of his future wives!" Penny said cheerfully.

Neptune's eyes bugged out. Scarlet's jaw dropped. Sage blinked rapidly. Illiya gaped. Even Sun, who was somewhat aware of the time travel situation, gasped in disbelief.

"HIS WHAT?!"

Jaune sighed and buried his face in his palms.

"Um..." Ruby coughed. "If it helps? I already told Coco about the situation, so the whole school probably knows by now... That better or worse?"

"RUBY!"

Jaune moaned.

Childhood Memories: The Honored One

- - - - - - - - - -
Amity Coliseum II. Above the Kingdom of Atlas. Theodore Arc-Schnee. Age: 17.

The yearly Vytal Festival was in full swing above Atlas. Students across all four academies were locked in the hear of battle in the early preliminary rounds. This generation of Hunters were shaping up to be some of the most formidable and inspiring yet.

But the one that stood out the most was considered a freak of nature. Even by the standards of combat rankings and Atlas' top Semblance researchers.

Given the nickname "Talent Incarnate" among his peers at Atlas Academy, he was Theodore Arc-Schnee. The eldest son of Winter Arc-Schnee and Jaune Arc.

"KYAAAA!!!"

"THERE HE IS!!"

"IT'S THE BOY GENERAL!!"

"HE'S SO HANDSOME!!"

Theodore turned his head towards his adoring fans, an impish smile spread across his face. He lowered his sunglasses and winked, the crowd cheering louder than before in response.

"KYYAAAAAA!!!"

"HE-HE WINKED AT ME!!!"

"NO!! HE WAS WINKING AT ME!!"

"THEO~!!"

Theodore smirked and the cheering grew even louder. He knew his family was probably watching and his mother was no doubt scowling but hey, he knew had the looks. Besides, his father and grandfather said women love a guy with confidence. It's not Theodore's fault he was an all-natural babe magnet.

"Seriously?," Snapping him out of his thoughts was his partner, Shu Wukong. The monkey Faunus had it up to here with this guy's showboating! All year, he's been flaunting his stupid dazzling blue eyes and his stupid abs around the whole school without a care in the world! "You need to get your head in the game!"

"Yeah, why focus on those floozies when you've got me!" Quinn Katt, his other team member, flirted. She's been trying to get his attention ever since they were assigned to the same team. Unlike their Vacuoan teammate, she's made her intentions clear! But Shu wasn't her biggest problem. It was the redheaded, green robed, axe-wielding tomboy vibrating with excitement.

"Alright, you've got this! Just remember what Mama said. Smash everything in sight!" Off to side, hyping herself up was Theodore's childhood friend and last teammate, Ingrid Ren. Together, they formed team TRQS. And it was a good thing too. Ingrid remembered Theo saying he'll be with her forever when they were kids. Her heart still fluttered to this day. She was hoping that when they were put on the same team, they would one day confess their love for each other in the heat of the Vytal Festival. But she never thought she would ever expect competition!

But Ingrid was patient and perceptive. She learned stuff like that from her parents. Mostly her mom! So she knew she'd have plenty of time to get her feelings out. Because despite being raised by the General of Atlas and the freaking Rusted Knight, Theodore could not notice the romantic intentions of his teammates.

"You act like I'm doing this on purpose," Theodore quickly dismissed Shu's annoyance. He doesn't know why she's getting so bothered. "I can't control what the ladies like. Blame my Dad, I get it from him."

Shu clenched her fist, her tail furled. She wanted to take her staff and swipe it across his stupid, handsome face! "Arrogance is that path to recklessness. If you--"

"True, but that's why Ingrid is my second in command. She knows me the best and Itrusther instincts when it comes to my strategies," Theodore cuts her off before she can finish. Ingrid faces the two and gives them a thumbs up. "Besides, judging by the weapons of our opponents, I'm fairly certain we can pull a win."

"How can you be so sure? We don't know what their weapons can do or what what their Semblances are?" Quinn states the obvious question. They've never seen team TMBR train during combat class and from what she heard through the gossip mill, they're the best team in Beacon Academy. Maybe even better than the legendary team RWBY!

"I'll come up with something on the spot." Theodore shrugged. That's usually how he comes up with his best plans. He remembered his mother telling him that when he was 10, and her advice has never led him astray so far.

This answer, however, was not enough for Shu. She marches toward Theodore, almost face-to-face. "You can't be that confident! A real leader would've figured out what their Semblances were already! What if we get taken out and it's just you vs them!? You'd lose!"


"AND NOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE LAST MATCH-UP OF THE PRELIMINARY ROUNDS IS ABOUT TO BEGIN: TEAM TRQS OF ATLAS ACADEMY VS TEAM TMBR OF BEACON ACADEMY!!!" The announcer shouts. The time has come for them to show the world what they're made of.

Theodore looked over his shoulder towards Shu, her cheeks flushed at the sheer confidence in his eyes. He smirked and with the pride of an Arc-Schnee said "Nah, I'd win."

------------------------

It didn't make any sense, but they won. Team TRQS was the winner. Shu was still in disbelief at their victory. There was no way they should've won but they did. And it was all because of him. That... man.

Theodore and Ingrid were doing a stupid victory dance that was strangely well coordinated. Quinn was also dancing trying to impress her team leader. They were at one of the many food stalls on the festival grounds. Shu was pouting and had her arms crossed. "Are you three done yet? I'm starving!"

"Lighten up, will you? We deserve to celebrate a little," Theodore smirked. Seriously, monkey Faunus needs to loosen up a little. He knew she was raised by warrior monks or whatever but this is ridiculous. She should be ecstatic about making it to the semi-finals. "Honestly, after all this time, you should put your trust in me. After all I--"

"You fought well, Theodore."

The coldness of her voice caused the young man to stand up completely straight. His arms behind his back. He knew exactly who that woman was.

"Thank you, mother. I'm glad I didn't disappoint." Theodore's tone was much different from his usual free-spirited and braggadocios self. He was acting a like a completely different person. The woman was a very recognizable person. Her white hair and generals uniform was the only giveaway Shu and Quinn need to guess who she was. She was General Winter Arc-Schnee. The man next could only be her husband Jaune Arc.

"However, you could've won the fight much sooner if you properly utilized your teammates Semblances." Theodore interally winced at that. He trusted the combat capabilities of his teammates, so he figured that they can handle themselves.

"So, Casanova, couldn't help but notice the massive fan club you've got." His father teased. Theodore smiled at that.

"Well, you and grandfather did say that women find us Arc boys irresistible. I can't control the ladies like."

The irony of that statement was not lost on Jaune or Winter. Just from a glance, they could tell that his teammates were deeply infatuated with him. "Well, your mother and I have an important meeting to go to. We just wanted to see you and congrats on making it to the semi-finals."

"Yes. We'll leave to your... victory noodles," Winter gave her son a warm smile. Despite his cocky nature, which she's sure he picked up from his father, she will always be proud of her son. "We'll see you tomorrow, son."

"I'll see you then, mother. Father." Theodore said politely. He was hoping he could get breakfast with them. It's something he misses about living at home.

As the couple left, Winter looked over her shoulder one last time to see her son and his team.

"So... Those girls are--"

"Yup." Jaune immediately answered.

"And he doesn't--"

"Nope."

"... He really is your son."

The Safehouse

- - -

Cinder found herself pacing in the living room of the safehouse. Clenching and unclenching her fists and jaw. Her heart beat loudly in her ears. She tried anything to maintain her calm, but it all just seemed to burn away in the fires of her fear and anxieties.

Neo and Mercury watched from nearby, sitting on a couch. Neo was eating ice cream, as she almost always did. Mercury was fidgeting, trying to look like he was just reading his Scroll but it was clear his mind was elsewhere.

Probably the same places mine is, Cinder thought ruefully.

That the sociopath was considering things like defection...

She shook her head.

No. No, you can't think about that, she thought, you need to focus. Focus... You must have all your wits about you.

Salem had told her that her 'backup' had been nearby doing another job for her. That she would arrive soon. That more were coming to support her and the operation.

And more than likely would try to take all the power for themselves.

There was a knock at the door to the safehouse. Cinder steeled herself. She walked up to the door and checked the security camera screen. She rolled her eyes and opened it up. A shaken Roman Torchwick hurried in, looking flummoxed.

"You rang, your highness?" Roman asked dryly. Cinder scowled.

"Where have you been?!"

"Getting things set of course! You have any idea how much Dust we still have to move out to Mount Glenn?" Roman demanded. He lit up a cigar and took a long drag to calm himself, before shaking his head. "And it don't help the White Fang's all worked up! Screeching and baying like something happened! I-" He frowned and scanned the room carefully. He then looked over at Cinder with a raised eyebrow.

"Your Girl Friday's missing," he said.

"Yes, well..." Cinder clenched her fists, "She decided to betray us. She joined Ozpin."

"She WHAT?!" Roman yelped. He looked over at Neo. "What the hell happened?!"

"Time travel," Mercury deadpanned. Roman's jaw continued to hang open. He theatrically reached up and stuck his pinkie into his ear to clear it.

"I'm... Sorry, time travel?"

"Emerald and Cinder's future kids with this guy came back in time by accident," Mercury stated, as Neo licked her spoon clean. The assassin shrugged. "And so she changed sides. Our operation is totally compromised."

Roman's jaw went up and down a few times. He then looked over at Neo for confirmation. The pint-sized enforcer nodded with an excited smile. Roman again opened his mouth... But nothing came out. He sighed and walked over to the kitchen, all wooden boards and cheap linoleum. He opened a cabinet, pulled out some whiskey, yanked the cork out and began to down it almost feverishly.

Cinder and Mercury stared as Roman proceeded to guzzle the hard booze down. As one, they glanced at Neo. The shortstack shrugged.

Roman finally finished the bottle, and broke contact with a gasp. He set the bottle down, and looked intently at his boss, his subordinate/adopted daughter, and Mercury.

"Okay... Maybe you should take it from the top," Roman said.

"Hold that thought~!" A bright, chipper voice called out. Every weapon in the room was pointed at the entrance. Cinder's arrows appeared, and her flames ignited around her.

Standing in the doorway was a dark skinned girl with pure white hair that went down to the small of her back. She wore a purple pinstripe suit, neatly tailored, with a short skirt. Her dazzling aquamarine eyes gleamed with delight as she beheld the scene before her. She then bowed, showing off her substantial cleavage.

"Oh, my apologies, Lady Cinder! I should have identified myself!" She cheerfully walked over, heedless of the weapons pointed at her head, and held out a card. Cinder scowled, but very gingerly reached out to take it. She held it up to her Scroll and scanned it. The Scroll beeped, and Cinder slowly nodded.

"She's our backup," Cinder said quietly. Roman lowered Melodic Cudgel. Neo scowled, lowering her umbrella but very slowly. Mercury sat back down, but kept his feet up on the coffee table as he assessed the newcomer.

"I'm Iridescent! Call me Iri!" The girl gushed. "I'm ever so glad to make your acquaintance at last, Lady Cinder! I've heard so much about you!" She beamed. "Isn't it amazing to work for Queen Salem? I'm looking forward to this operation ever so much!"

Cinder's eyebrow twitched very minutely. The girl's enthusiasm and simpering already reminded her of Emerald... But where there was desperation in Emerald's eyes, she only saw predatory hunger in Iridescent's eyes. Like a big cat sizing up a potential threat, probing for weaknesses.

"I'm sure," Cinder stated flatly. "The current operation is known to our enemies, but it's too far along to stop. So we're going to accelerate our plans. We will also need to weaken the enemy forces significantly."

Iridescent beamed and nodded.

"I've looked over the tactical and strategic situation," she said brightly. She walked to the coffee table and set down a holo projector. She brought up her Scroll and the projector activated, already showing off images of the various Hunters and Hunters-in-Training at Beacon. "I've been doing my research based on their forces and ours. I have a few possible counters, if you would like to listen?"

Cinder very slowly nodded. She put on a winning smile.

"Of course. I'm certain we'll salvage this mess and still win our prize."

"Oh, and of course," Iri said brightly, "Getting the power of time travel! It's so incredible! I know what I'd like to change if I had that ability, don't you?"

The faces of Ash, Ashley, and Jaune jumped to the front of her mind. Cinder clenched her fists but her smile remained.

"Of course. Let's start from the beginning. Roman?"

Roman sighed. He pulled out another hidden bottle of whiskey... And a second. And a third. He then headed over to the nearest chair and collapsed in it. He nodded and waved his hand.

"Of course. Proceed," he sighed. He then paused. "Neo, you're not the mother of one of those kids from the future, right?"

Neo shook her head. She looked... Almost disappointed. Something that raised Cinder's hackles internally.

Why?! She demanded of herself. Why do you care?! STOP CARING!

Roman nodded.

"Good," He stated, "Otherwise we'd include a shotgun wedding in the plan. Before the shotgun."

Neo pouted. Cinder glared.

"I believe we have more important things to discuss," she stated coldly.

"Yes Lady Cinder! Right on!" Iri cheered.

Cinder sucked in a breath. This was getting even more dangerous. Usually the thrill of such games excited her. The look on the faces of those she outwitted and defeated just before she killed them was am ambrosia.

Not this time. Maybe not ever again.

Now? All she could do was what she had always done:

Survive.

- - -

The secret White Fang base in the Forever Fall Forest was bare bones and simple. An old base from when Vale had a much larger, more powerful military. The barracks and headquarters were still serviceable, and they were deep enough in the wild that they attracted little attention.

Adam Taurus was meditating in the old headquarters atrium. Here, plants were growing free and unrestrained, and light shone through the still intact windows overhead. It was almost peaceful... Yet he needed this solitude to focus his rage, not to gain peace.

Blake...

To think she had betrayed them, betrayed him. Ran off in the face of the grim necessity of their work.

His Aura flared like a bonfire before he brought it back down. His rage was only useful if it was focused, concentrated, and honed: Like a fine blade.

He envisioned that blade... How he would use it on Blake. Pinned down, tied up, helpless before him... She had enjoyed such things in the past. It was how he would break her.

How he would save her.

Yes... He would even take inspiration from her erotic novels. She'd love that-

His Scroll rang. He growled in irritation. He pulled it out and opened it up.

"This had better be-"

"It is," his agent spoke. Adam glared.

"You're not supposed to call me directly from Beacon. The risk is too high-"

"We have enough encryption anyone watching won't know anything. Long enough for this," The Faunus spy stated. "I thought it worth breaking radio silence."

Adam paused, weighed the situation, then slowly nodded.

"What is it?" He demanded.

The agent then told him... The impossible. Time traveling children from the future? It didn't make any sense...

But the urgency in the agent's tone and face made clear this was no deception.

After all the Semblances he had seen... Well... Time travel was hardly impossible, now was it?

"They are all children of Jaune Arc..." An image of a fairly unremarkable looking blond human boy with blue eyes, smiling awkwardly for the camera, appeared, "And at least eleven other women."

Adam's eyes narrowed a bit.

"Blake Belladonna included."

Adam's grip on his Scroll tightened.

"What," he hissed, his rage threatening to erupt.

"I got several pictures during the ruckus and an event after," the spy stated. These pictures appeared on the screen—each one of a trio or pair of teenagers.

All from a distance, but enhanced enough that features could be made out.

The one that caught his interest the most was that of Blake. She was standing in one of Beacon's many gardens, smiling softly at two blond cat Faunus. Both were around Blake's age. The shapes of their faces betrayed their relationship to Blake: Both every inch Menagerian aristocrat. Yet there was a bit of the human in their noses, eyes, chins, and of course, hair.

Her children with... Her children with...!

"He is dead," Adam stated, hard as steel.

"Ilia has also been captured," the agent went on, "It is possible the entire operation has been compromised, my Lord.

Adam glared hatefully at the image of Jaune Arc... Yet slowly nodded.

"All right. Keep me apprised. The plan continues. Do nothing to compromise your position."

"Of course, My Lord," the agent spoke, before the communications link went silent.

Adam stared at the images of the children, Blake... And Arc.

Time travel is real, he thought, Blake mated with... With this... Human... In the future... Had children...

He felt... A rush. As though he was standing at the threshold of the gods. Indeed, it was. To have such power... It was terrifying. Unbelievable.

Yet multiple children from multiple timelines meant... That the future was not set in stone.

Adam Taurus sucked in a deep breath. He focused his rage.

Blake... You fell for this... Interloper in the future. I won't let that happen. And in the end...

He envisioned his blade going through Jaune Arc... Those blond children becoming redheads...

He smiled darkly.

You will be mine.

- - -

A revised bit for how Adam learned of the situation. He'll have a chat with Cinder about it later but it felt better to focus on his character here. As well as establish a spy in Beacon.

 

[TheFabulousCustodes]

The WF spy is an alternative version of Hex, isn't it?

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Bommel]

"Of course. Proceed," he sighed. He then paused. "Neo, you're not the mother of one of those kids from the future, right?"

Neo shook her head. She looked... Almost disappointed. Something that raised Cinder's hackles internally.

Why?! She demanded of herself. Why do you care?! STOP CARING!

Roman nodded.

"Good," He stated, "Otherwise we'd include a shotgun wedding in the plan. Before the shotgun."

Click to shrink...

Roman caring here is pretty sweet, and Neo clearly wanting in on the Jaune action is funny.
Maybe Neo could potentially join the whole thing now that she knows about in and is going to start actively participating, pursuing and/or joining the potential harem?

 

[ThunderBasilisk]

I hope Adam dies from one of his ripped out horns being driven into his scared eye.

 

[Muramasa]

It's so unfair that Neo is excluded from the main action. I really hope you give her children as the story progresses. It would be funny if this chain of events provoked her to go after Jaune and at some point, since the story is unstable now, her children will appear on the scene.

Blake went off with Ilia and the rest of Team SSSN to discuss things privately. Meanwhile, the rest of the very large crowd came out into the courtyard with Ozpin leading them. The headmaster looked about the large assembly and cleared his throat.

"Well. That was educational," he said, "However, there is work to be done. Isabel? Glynda? Arjun and Saia? Qrow? Taiyang? Ghira and Kali? I will need you in my office please. We have much to discuss with James.

Weena stood at his side with Moses. She gave him a small smile. Ozpin cleared his throat.

"And Weena-"

"I'll be handling the lab," she said, "Just catch me up later. Moses needs some examination, anyway."

"I'll go with him!" Dorothy volunteered, taking the time shifting boy's hand and squeezing it with a smile. Moses coughed, as his half-siblings all stared.

"Uh, yeah, that-that'd be great! I..." He focused on Xander. "Your Semblance will help things go faster."

"As long as you two don't suck face," Xia snickered. Yang dopeslapped her. "OW! MOM!"

"Don't be rude," Yang sniffed, "Unless you make a pun. Then it's okay."

"Ugh," Xia moaned.

"Meanwhile!" Nick said cheerfully, as he wrapped an arm around Jaune's shoulders, "I'm gonna see how you've all been doing! We'll be sparring in the training field! Number 12, right?"

"It is still open," Glynda nodded, "But please don't destroy it this time?"

"That was mostly Saia," Nick grumbled.

"I said I was sorry!" Saia insisted with a sigh. She smiled. "But I will go along to make sure things don't get out of hand."

Arjun nodded.

"I'll relay everything to you after," he said.

"I expect good notes," Saia said cheekily, nuzzling her husband.

"I always produce the best," he chuckled back.

August grimaced. May blinked a few times.

"I... Wow... This is gross," August mumbled.

"Why?" May asked curiously. "I'm happy my parents are happy together!"

"Hopefully you won't find out," August groaned.

Ozpin then looked over at Willow.

"I would appreciate your presence as well, Willow."

"If it's about Jacques," Willow stated calmly, "I'd prefer we talk about that alone. I... I need to reconnect with my family and friends."

Ozpin slowly nodded. Isabel scowled at Willow, but the Schnee matriarch gave nothing away.

"Very well," Ozpin stated, "Everyone else? I'm sure you have a great deal to catch up on. I'll leave you to it."

"Besides," Arslan said with a broad smile, staring intently at Jaune and Nick, "I would love to test my skills against the Paladin Nick Arc!"

"Seeing him in action would be incredible," Logos agreed.

"Wait, your dad's a big deal?" Ruby asked. Jaune coughed.

"Uh, well-"

Nick shrugged as the party began to break up.

"Eh! I just did my part. AARN and STRQ? We did our best work together... Which I will tell you all about!" He grinned cheekily.

"That, and I wanna see which of my future daughters-in-law is the best at combat!"

"YEAH!" Nora cried, popping up with her hammer as Ren followed, "LET'S SEE IF THEY'RE WORTHY TO JOIN THE FAMILY, DAD!"

"AGREED, NEW DAUGHTER!" Nick laughed, high fiving Nora.

"Dad!" Jaune protested, "That's hardly necessary-!"

"LET'S GO!" Pyrrha, Arslan, and Yang shouted at the same time, before they glared at one another. Ruby had a familiar scary grin on her face that reminded Jaune and Julian of yesterday's brawl. Emerald wore a nasty smirk. May looked determined. Weiss was already assessing everyone like they were targets. Even Winter looked very focused.

The various future children exchanged some knowing looks. This did not fill Jaune with any confidence at all.

"It would be a great honor to challenge both Nick the Paladin and Saia the Witch Queen in a spar," Winter said. Nick laughed while Saia blushed.

"HA! That's the spirit!"

"Oh my," Saia shook her head, "I'm terribly out of practice... But I would love to show off for my daughter and grandson!"

"Witch Queen?" Weiss asked in disbelief. "Wait... She's that Witch Queen?!"

"It's amazing how little you actually know about anything," Emerald said dryly. Weiss fumed.

"Well if people would just talk it would make things a LOT easier! Besides! There are countless Arcs in Vale! How was I supposed to know Jaune was of the most famous ones connected to a King and Queen?!"

"Guess we'll have to start hitting the books," Yang grinned, "But only if we end up fighting in the library."

"YANG/MOM!" Groaned most of the people around her. Nick laughed.

"Good one!"

Yang shot a smug look at her fellow potential wives. Jaune gulped at the determined looks on everyone's faces.

Something tells me the war's not over... Not by a long shot, he thought. Where's Penny when I need her?!

- - -

Penny beamed as she projected her programming language in front of the young Whitley Schnee. The white haired boy eagerly drank it all up.

"What do you think of my coding?"

"It's sublime," Whitley breathed, "Especially the syntax. So intuitive! Do... Do you think I could see your full operating specifications?"

Penny blushed. Her Virgin Alarm went off. She then mechanically extended a hand and whapped Whitley across the face.

"GUH!" Whitley cried, as he was sent sprawling onto the floor.

"Kiyah! Wh-What kind of a girl do you take me for?!" Penny cried. She blinked.

"Strange. Why did that happen?" She scanned her systems. "Oh... It is part of my Parental Lock systems! I wish Father would explain why I have those. It makes searching for certain topics extremely difficult. I am sorry, Friend Whitley. Are you all right?"

"F-Fine," Whitley wheezed.

"Your face is very red. Your temperature seems to be increasing. Do you require medical assistance-?"

"N-NO!" Whitley shouted, getting up and rubbing his cheek. "I-I'm totally fine! Everything's normal! Because I am a normal human boy who doesn't get aroused by the idea of gynoids slapping me!"

Penny stared with her usual gentle smile. Whitley's face burned like it was on fire.

"Sensational!" Penny said, clapping her hands together.

Her sensors were still fixed on Jaune. She could arrive at his aid in moments if required, and would move to follow to better facilitate this. But interacting with Whitley was proving to be very interesting!

Time travel is real, he thought, Blake mated with... With this... Human... In the future... Had children...

He felt... A rush. As though he was standing at the threshold of the gods. Indeed, it was. To have such power... It was terrifying. Unbelievable.

Yet multiple children from multiple timelines meant... That the future was not set in stone.

Adam Taurus sucked in a deep breath. He focused his rage.

Blake... You fell for this... Interloper in the future. I won't let that happen. And in the end...

He envisioned his blade going through Jaune Arc... Those blond children becoming redheads...

He smiled darkly.

You will be mine.

I have a spin off idea that I posted on Spacebattles and am posting here at AndrewJTalon's suggestion that I hope people do something with.

Instead of the kids going back in time, it's their mothers that do so, choosing to accompany Moses for the boy's safety.

Now Jaune has to deal with a group of his Future, Older Wives from alternate timelines, his Older, future wives have to deal with Jaune and their younger selves and so on.

Future!Pyrrha: "We ALL do."

 

[MetalHead]

I imagine Future!Pyrrha would really push her younger self to be more assertive. While Future!Weiss would have a discussion with her younger self that essentially goes like this:

Weiss: But he...
Future!Weiss: No, he is not. In fact he didn't even know who you were before asking you out the first time.
Weiss: But then he...
Future!Weiss: That's what training is for, he improves incredibly fast. What hampers him now is that Pyrrha is a genius so she tends to overestimate his comprehension. We, on the other hand, are better at basics.
Weiss: And is...
Future!Weiss: He actually raises Whitley into one of most respected men in the world.
Weiss: I can't...
Future!Weiss: I am you. Of course you can't.
