Chapter 2: The arrival of the people that Jaune despises.
(Old Atlas, Remnant)
After teams RWBY & JNPR went deeper into the facility they've entered earlier and found a portal generator, they inspected it and found log videos talking about how successful it is and might be able to open portals to other worlds if they found a location eventually.
But then Teams RWBY & JNPR found a log video.... The FINAL log video, which was recorded 8 years ago, shortly after the old Kingdom of Atlas fell to the surface, crushing Mantle and encasing both cities in ice and snow and stayed that way since then
After they finished watching the log video, June looked at the portal and pulled out Crocea Mors and saw her reflection on it and sighed as she then looked at team RWBY & her teammates
June: I'm calling my family. They need to know about this.
She said in a sad tone as she walked away to call the Arc & Cotta-Arc family about their discovery/lead to find Jaune and get a chance for him to forgive them for what they've done to him 8 years ago
(Later)
After June called her family and told them about the portal generator, they found in the old Atlas facility her team and Team RWBY found, we see Pyrrha, Ren, June, her Family and Team RWBY in front of the portal generator, getting ready to go in before June looked at Nora
June: Okay, Nora. Light it up.
Nora smirked as she started emitting electricity and raised her hammer, then as her hammer started getting electrified, she struck her weapon at the portal, causing the electricity to power it up and created a see-through vortex, showing the teams (Minus Nora) and Arc Family that said vortex is leading to the grassy plains in the land of Ooo.
Ren looked at Nora with a stern look in his eyes
Ren: Nora, you have to stay here. We need someone to watch over the portal so we can go back with Jaune.
Nora nodded in understanding as Team RWBY, J(n)PR, and the Arc/Cotta-Arc Families approach the vortex and went through it, thus arriving at Ooo
(Candy Kingdom Outskirts, Ooo)
In the grassy plains outskirts of the Candy Kingdom, we see that a vortex open up and teams RWBY, J(n)PR, and the Arc/Cotta-Arc families step out of said vortex, which closed shut behind them
Teams RWBY, J(n)PR, the Arc/Cotta-Arc families look at their surroundings and see how peaceful it is here, which made them smile warmly at this
With the Cotta-Arcs, Saphron, after being reminded of her times playing with Jaune in the grass when they were kids, then started frown and start to cry softly as she covered her face with her hands and went on her knees, hoping she'll be able to make amends with Jaune for not siding with him 8 years ago while Terra patted her wife on the back and their son Adrian, who's now 8-years-old, hugged his mom
Adrian: Are we gonna find my uncle, mommy?
Saphron stopped crying and wiped her tears as she held her son's face and smiled at him
Saphron: of course, sweetie.
Terra then kneeled to Adrian and hugged her son
Terra: I know he'll not be mad at you when you meet him, but I do know he'll not be happy when he sees us again.
Then suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from behind teams RWBY, J(n)PR, and the Arc/Cotta-arcs
???: You're all looking for someone?
teams RWBY, J(n)PR, and the Arc/Cotta-arcs yelped in being startled and as they turn around, they see that the person who spoke is the antiquarian researcher known as Simon Petrikov, formerly known as The Ice King
Yang: I don't know who you are, but... yeah, we are.
She said that last part in a sad tone as everyone else frowned, making Simon feel bad for them until he had an idea as he pulled out his burner phone and looked back at the remnant teams & family
Simon: Maybe I can help with finding whoever you're searching for. I Know some friends who are great at helping people, let me just call one of them right now.
They nodded as Simon looked back at his phone and found Marceline's contact and started calling her
(Kingdom of Arcadia)
At the Castle, we see Marceline tucking Mary in her bed because it's her nap time and kissed on her forehead, making Mary smile as her mom walked out of her room and quietly shut the door and started walking down the hallway
As Marceline, while smiling warmly and humming, was walking deeper in the hallway, her phone started ringing and sees that Simon is calling her and answered it
Marceline: Hey, Simon. What's up?
(Back with Simon)
Simon: Hi, Marceline. I came across some people who are looking for someone, they seemed to be upset and worried about whoever they're searching.
Marceline: (speaker) did you ask who they're looking for?
Simon sighed
Simon: no, but I'll ask right now.
He put her on mute and looked back at Teams RWBY, J(n)PR, the Arc & Cotta-Arcs as he coughed in getting their attention
Simon: uh, who is it that you're looking for? You never told me what his or her name is.
And then, June glanced at her Crocea Mors and stared at Simon as she answered his question on who they're looking for
June: he's our brother.... Jaune Arc.
After hearing June say Jaune and his former last name, his eyes widened in disbelief at the fact that the people he met just moments ago were Marceline's husbands' betrayers/former friends & family
Simon: .... Can you excuse me for a moment again?
He then speed-walked towards the forest and walked behind a tree as he unmuted Marceline and spoke to her
Simon: (whispers) Marceline, I got bad news about the people I told you about and who they're looking for.
Marceline: (speaker) what's wrong, Simon?
Simon: (whispers) those people are looking for your husband, Jaune. They're his former friends and family, the same ones he told everyone about after the Great Gum war 8 years ago.
(Back at the Castle in Arcadia)
Marceline: .......
Simon: (speaker) ... Marceline? You heard that? Marce-
Then Marceline hung up on Simon while breathing heavily and having a very, VERY ANGRY look on her face as she started to float and fly to the Throne room where Jaune is at right now
(Back with Simon... again)
Simon put his burner phone back in his pocket and looked back at Teams RWBY, J(n)PR, the Arc & Cotta-arc families, who are waiting for Simon to get out of the forest and tell them about who he knows that can help find Jaune, and then he almost glared at them but decided not to as he started to slowly sneak to go deeper into the forest and then ran as fast as he could
(Back at the Castle in Arcadia... again)
We see Jaune, sitting on his throne with a bored look on his face and sighed
Jaune: well, this is boring.
And then, Marceline arrived in the throne room as she landed back on the ground and started growling in anger and then flipped over one of the knight armor statues on the floor and let out a rage-filled scream
(In Mary's bedroom)
After Marceline's scream echoed throughout the castle, Mary, who is still taking her nap, groaned softly because she heard the scream but because of the distance from her room to the Throne room far down the hallway, she barely heard her mom's angry scream
(Back in the Throne room)
Jaune stood up from his throne and approached Marceline has he held onto her shoulders as he started to calm his wife down by hugging her, then rubbed her head and stroked her long soft hair, making Marceline to sigh calmly and looked at Jaune while still having a mad look
Jaune: Marcy, tell me what happened before you came here and screamed like an angry maniac. Please?
Marceline: Simon called me and said that there's a group of people looking for you.
Jaune: who's looking for me?
Marceline then glared at her husband
Marceline: (stern tone) You KNOW who.
Jaune was confused at what Marceline meant until his eyes widened in realizing who she's talking about
Jaune: ...No?
Marceline: (stern tone) Yes, Jaune. It's them, I don't know how they found you, but they did.
Jaune then let go of his wife and his armor started glowing in a golden light, then ran outside of his castle and let out a rage-filled scream
Jaune: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His scream was so loud that it echoed throughout Arcadia and the other nearby kingdoms. Heck!! Even teams RWBY, J(n)PR, the Arc & Cotta-Arc families heard the scream as well, but then felt it was familiar until it hit them... it was Jaune's scream, which made them all stare and nod to each other as they all ran towards where the scream came from while Saphron carried Adrian as she and Terra ran after the teams & the rest of the Arcs so they can find Jaune and beg to be forgiven so everything can be normal again
(In case you're all wondering why Saphron, Terra & Adrian are with the Arc family, it's quite simple, really. The Cotta Arc family also didn't side with Jaune after his transcripts were revealed and since then, Jaune despised everyone who used to hate him years ago, including his ENTIRE ex-family.)
(Except Adrian, thought, because he was only a baby when Jaune was betrayed and tormented after he was expelled, so Adrian's okay in Jaune's book.)
also, spoiler alert for the next chapter, it will have some Helluva Boss ''Full Moon'' episode drama between Jaune & his betrayers... even some other stuff that might be a little too much for some people who read this book, so.... just saying, be prepared.
