Chapter 242: Talks

~Third POV~

*Shiii*

Opening a portal returning back home with Jack's Power Ring revealing the way home with his group by his side he turns around to see the original cast seeing them off with him talking, "Yo! Despite everything that happened in our vacation it has been nice to take a load off without any dangers."

The main cast nervously laughed at that with their Ruby mumbling out at that, "Yeah… we do tend to get ourselves in trouble…"

Then Jack's Ruby laughed at her counterpart's words nodding her head in understanding, "Yeah. You aren't the only one there for me. We get into trouble too even when we have nothing to do with them."

The two Rose's laugh at this with Weiss sighing rubbing her head out of frustration, "Sigh… honestly, I wish we don't find ourselves in those kinds of situations. I'm not the only one to think this right?"

Jack for his part nodded in agreement speaking out his own voice on them getting into trouble for unknown reasons, "Now that I can understand. Seriously are you girls just natural trouble magnets or is it simply the very universe against you at that point? Feels like fate wants to fuck with you lot."

Weiss rolls her eyes and agreed to his words on that getting into trouble, "You know after everything… I think you might be right about the universe after us or something. At least no more of that."

Jack smiled in agreement with the two Pyrrha looking at each other and comparing to their leaders as the Pyrrha Prime responded, "The two are really different? I guess it certainly takes things into perspective of how different our worlds are."

Jack's Pyrrha nodded but smiled contently at him responding to her counterpart's words, "Yup. He certainly has his quirks but doesn't everybody. And at times he can be quite inspirational when he wants to be inspiring us. He has his moments."

Pyrrha Prime laughed at that in agreement with Jaune shaking his hand and talking to him, "Guess thanks for everything you have done man. If you were their leader in your Remnant… I think you can actually do some good in your world being a hero right?"

Jack for his part merely rolled his eyes at being named hero as he responded surprising Jaune denying being a hero, "Me? A hero? Pfft… nope Vomit boy."

Blinking in surprise hearing that along with those near him seem shocked as he responded with a smile on his face, "Being a hero would imply myself sacrificing myself for the bullshit greater good. That's just what people made to place their faith in something. I on the other hand am anything but a hero."

Shaking his head he further explains why with everyone listening in for why he does the things he does, "Heroes usually never get past the story unless they win or die. I would rather be a greedy person and enjoy my life the best I can. The world can burn for all I could care about but… if those close to me want to help others there's nothing saying I could help them in their goals."

Most felt weird by his response, but his group understood what he meant with Penny explained to them, "I think what my boyfriend means is he would rather be a nobody than be a hero. Being a nobody with the freedom to do as he pleases but not restricted by anything free to pursue what he wants? Is that right?"

Jack nods in the agreement with Penny's words as Oscar then talks coughing bringing his attention to him Jack, "Ahem! Well, that's your opinion Jack but regardless though we are heavily in your debt for helping us. You could like you said let this world burn as you put it but, in the end, you wanted to help and do as you, please right?"

Jack merely scoffs at that but a smirk on his face told them all the answers they need.

They laughed at his antics with Blake stating Jack's childish antics in a happy tone, "Hahaha… I can certainly see. He definitely has charisma despite how he acts. Just always making others feel good around him."

Glynda nodded her head at that speaking to Jack thanking him for making his request for her, "Still I personally want to thank you. If you hadn't come, we could've been worse off than the solution we got."

Jack merely nods at this Yang began to talk around with Jack with a grin on her face, "Aww you really are a big softie underneath that rough exterior. You better treat my other self-nice you hear!"

Ren and Nora both held their hands together with Jack smirking at this trying to point out their relationship, "Hehe. Well then, I hope you two are doing well when we leave. So… Nora and Ren are you guys going to fu–"

*Plop*

Suddenly Pyrrha's hand landed on his mouth interrupting him as she drags him to the portal home Nora and Ren Prime blushed, "Oh Jack would you at least not try to embarrass a new couple? Anyway, it was nice meeting all of you and I hope you all do well in your future endeavors!"

Ruby enters the portal as well waving to her counterparts leaving through along with Penny as the portal to Jack's world soon closes up as the Prime Main Cast looks on seeing them leave as they did.

Sighs of relief and resolution for them filled their hearts knowing the upcoming future ahead of them would be a time of peace.

The shining foundation of a new future in the Prime universe seems to be just at the tip of the horizon for them…

~Jack POV~

*Shiii*

Whew….

After Pyrrha lets go of me removing her hand from my mouth I felt at peace when I finally returned home.

[Ding—

Ignoring my rewards and Level ups as the end is coming since I would not need them soon enough for what I have planned.

But right now I simply want to enjoy this moment.

Smelling the fresh air and the nice gentle sun hitting my face along with the fact of seeing my company logo on there I couldn't help but smile at this.

Gazing my eyes over to Penny and Ruby as they finally returned back to Remnant both wanting to talk about this new adventure to their friends and family in person when they came home along with Pyrrha holding my hand.

After the time to unwind, it felt just right to be back to home sweet home.

My eyes soon landed on a squad of YoRHa battle units coming by as they all gave me a salute towards me, "Welcome back from your vacation young Master Nights! What will you be needing of us today?"

At this, I directed them to take Ruby and Penny home as they would need it while Pyrrha stayed by my side as it was finally time to bring in the rest of Team JNPR Nora and Ren here to my home after a long while.

….

When everything was done, we both saw Penny and Ruby leaving back home to inform their family of the news and possibly lookout for Oscar here in our world as they left off becoming small dots in the distance using the Future Foundation Bullhead rides.

As they are finally gone in the far distance, I turned around to see Pyrrha as her smile then becomes a frown as she spoke to me, "Are you really going through with your plan of yours Jack? I mean you could be possibly risking everything and everyone on Remnant paying the price that if you lose."

She followed me as we both walk back towards my base I respond to her answer, "It's because I have to do it. I have to be the one to end this cycle once and for all. I can't let those Brothers live."

That was my response when I told her my plan of obtaining Ascalon in the other dimension of the Prime Universe using their Relic of the Staff of Creation to tap into the forces of the universe.

Hearing this Pyrrha's frown still present on her face as she asks, for me the reason why I have to hunt down the Brother Gods, "Why? Why do you want to kill them… aren't you happy to live the rest of your life with everyone? Why would you need to fight more when we are fighting for peace, Jack? I don't understand why?"

At this, I stopped as I replied to Pyrrha why with a serious expression to match my tone, "Because they are too Human."

That's the response I gave to Pyrrha as to why the Brothers Grimm needs to die.

At one point even Jinn stated these two as the Brothers Grimm, not Brother God's Light or Dark in the canon and as such, they consider humanity as a whole as a 'plaything' for them to exploit and use.

I find the idea of such a distasteful in my mouth for multiple of reasons.

One of which is the fact that if they were the true Gods, they would've followed this one ironclad rule to follow.

Never interact or mess with this mortal world.

Ignoring this rule in favor of literally playing around not even treating us as equals to use as they please which to no end annoy me.

Unlike everyone in Prime universe are trying to earn their favor back with the Gods graces I won't do for mine.

They are a threat to humanity and as to Remnant because one can easily have the power to wipe us out with the tip of his finger.

How else the Faunus and Humanity reemergence occurred.

But so long as they draw breath, I have a reason to kill them for good as Pyrrha looks confused by this as I gave out a sigh explaining to her, "Sigh… I'll explain more on what I meant Pyrrha. I'll explain it to you and when Nora and Ren come here. I'll explain more but before that though I thinks it's time…"

"Time?"

Pyrrha worded out the word as I was afraid of explaining this part of my past life but if I didn't now then what would be the bond, I spent with them meant if I don't trust them fully after everything we went through.

In time I'll tell the rest that I know I can trust but I made a promise.

Opening my mouth responding with a smile on my face I replied to her what I meant in a genuine tone, "It's time I explain to you guys what my dream was about. Remember you guys saving me from the Nightmare Grimm? I would like to finally explains that before getting into the reason why I want to hunt down the gods."

Hearing that made her eyes go wide at this since it was finally time, I let that go off my chest.

I'll need a clear mind in my fight against the Brother Gods without any hesitation for my final countdown or mission yet.
