RWBY Watches Grimm May Cry (Old)

Mission 20: Screaming Souls

"Alright, everybody," Abe announced as he set up the TV. "It's time for the grand finale."

"I'm excited," Ruby giggled. "It'll be interesting to see how it all ends."

"Yeah, but I'm not looking forward to watching Jaune and Adam fight again," Weiss said with a frown.

"Right?" Nora agreed. "And right after they worked together last episode!" Everyone settled in to watch as Abe selected the final episode, entitled "Screaming Souls," and pushed play.

The episode began with a flash of light atop the Tower of Ozma, as Jaune and Adam were deposited back in the human world. The Relic of Choice clattered to the ground between them. Adam moved to grab it, but Jaune was faster, kicking it into the air with his boot, before stuffing it into his pocket. Adam glared at the Huntsman.

"Give that to me," he demanded Jaune, holding his hand out expectantly. The Huntsman regarded him for a moment, then shook his head.

"No way. It's mine, too, you know."

"That is true," Ozpin nodded. "As descendants of Ozma, they have every right to claim his Relics for themselves.

Adam's fist clenched as Jaune denied him his birthright.

"Well, right now, I want it," he tried again. Jaune sighed.

"Do you really think turning the tables on who's tyrannized will change anything?" he questioned the Faunus. "You'll only reverse the roles of the military and White Fang!"

"You're wasting time!" Adam shouted, a hand going down towards Wilt. Jaune drew his Claymore.

"We are the descendants of Ozma," he reminded Adam. "Within each of us dwells his power." He placed a hand on his bare chest. "But more importantly, his SOUL!" He pointed at the Faunus. "And now, my soul is saying it wants to STOP YOU!" Adam shook his head at the Huntsman's words, before lifting his head back to laugh.

"Unfortunately, our souls are at odds, Jaune Arc." He grabbed his tattered jacket with one hand, ripping it off and tossing it away, exposing his sleeveless red shirt and toned muscles beneath. "I need more power."

"And we're supposed to be family," Jaune smiled sadly. Adam scoffed, shaking his head.

"Family... right."

"Please," Pyrrha frowned, shaking her head. "You don't have to fight each other!"

Jaune dashed forward, stabbing at Adam's chest, but the Faunus had already leaped out of the way. His hands flew behind him, pulling out a familiar weapon.

"Gambol Shroud?" Blake gasped. "Why does he have that?"

"He must've taken it from you after he beat us in this universe," Yang hypothesized.

Adam rushed towards the Huntsman, the katana blade of Gambol Shroud in his left hand, while his right hand unsheathed Wilt from Blush. The Faunus sliced the two blades downwards at Jaune in an X-formation, who flipped backwards to avoid the brutal attack. He landed back on his feet, to see Adam above him, swords raised overhead. Jaune raised his Claymore and blocked the blades, forcing the Faunus to leap backwards to avoid a counterattack swung at his face. Jaune prepared to charge Adam again, only to gasp in pain as an afterimage of Adam repeated the attack he had just performed, the twin blades hacking into the Huntsman's shoulders. Jaune's Aura flashed.
