Adam and Jaune's Amazing Adventures!

Author's Explanation

So, it case it wasn't obvious enough already, this is completely based off of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. For those of you who haven't seen a single episode of this 1989 cartoon series, or even knew it existed, here is the basic premise: Mario and Luigi, usually accompanied by Toad and Princess Peach, are visiting one of the many realms of the Mushroom Kingdom, be that Desert Land, Water Land, Cloud Land, or the like. Often, they are there for a specific reason, such as hoping to raise money for orphans, the Koopa Troop is causing the locals troubles, or just simply passing through on their way back home. But then, if you know anything about Mario, Bowser shows up to cause the heroes trouble. Of course, the King of the Koopas is no match for the Mario Bros., who soundly defeat him and accomplish their mission. Pretty typical of pre-2000s children's entertainment, really.

So why did I decide to take this corny cartoon and combine it with RWBY? Good question. I actually don't have an answer. But I'm doing this away. This could potentially be the WORST thing I have ever written. Then again, both of the shows I'm using for this aren't exactly masterpieces, themselves. So how this will be received is anyone's guess.

In typical 1980-cartoon fashion, the explanation for how our ragtag group of protagonists came together will never be explicitly stated in the story. That's what the intros for the cartoons were for! But, since I'm not going to be typing the same five-hundred or so words as a backstory at the beginning of every chapter, this little introduction to the unlikeliest mashup in fanfiction history will serve as the backstory instead.

BACKSTORY

Jonathan Arc, patriarch of the Arc family, happens upon a young Adam Taurus on his way home from a mission. Taking pity on the branded, starving, and lonely bull Faunus, Jonathan takes him home, where he and his wife, Juniper, raise him alongside their other children, including their only son, Jaune. The two adopted brothers quickly become the best of friends, and wherever Adam went, little Jaune was sure to follow. Seven years later, Adam, now an adult, sets out to go on a tour of Remnant, and Jaune tags along with him. But when the Arc Brothers are involved, they always seem to stumble into danger and intrigue. Like the time they rescued young Oscar Pine from the clutches of the Branwen Tribe. Or when they helped Weiss Schnee escape from her miserable life as the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. Now together, the four will embark on a series of adventures, all while making new friends and battling against the forces of evil.

I hope this story sounds intriguing, because I think it has potential to be a lot of good fun. Updates will be infrequent, but you'll know when there's a new chapter. And hey, if this has got you interested in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, then give the show a view! The episodes are all on Youtube. It's pretty cheesy, but it's still pretty enjoyable.

I hope you'll enjoy reading this as much as I will writing this.
