(Author's Note: Hey there guys. This is TigerVolcano5000 and welcome to the first chapter of "Remnant's Guardians"! This story is a challenge that I'm taking from an author called Sun Kasai. I am REALLY excited for this story, and I hope that you guys like it. Enjoy :)

Chapter One: Guardians Assembled

"I still say that this is a mistake."

"You know why it must be done, brother. They can save this world."

"What makes you so certain that they even have the power necessary to survive in this world? Let alone save it?"

"I am certain. You know that I wouldn't make such a monumental decision unless I was 100% certain."

"That is true."

"Have faith, brother. Not just in me, but in them. I guarantee you, they are the heroes that Remnant needs."

Ignoring the pounding in his skull, the boy forced himself to open his eyes. He was then met with…nothing. Absolutely nothing. There was no people or objects, just a pure whiteness that seemed to go on in every direction. "Where am I?" The boy who asked himself was, a teenager of sixteen or seventeen. He had fair skin, brown hair, and green eyes. He wore a black shirt, blue pants, a green jacket with white stripes on the outer body and arms and had a white "10" in a black circle on his heart. What really caught the eye was the watch on his wrist. Its outer portion was green with the inner portion was white. The part that was actually on his wrist was larger and had a white portion with three green stripes on both sides. In the middle of the watch, was a pitch black square with two green lines on its left and right sides. The lines themselves were bent at an angle and almost looked like boomerangs.

"HELLO!"

"AHHHHHHHHH!" The teen reached for his watch and spun around…only to be greeted to an odd/slightly reassuring sight. Standing in front of him was another boy, probably around his age. He was certainly, definitely over six feet tall. His eyes were turquoise, his hair was a red/ginger color that was rather messy and seemed to spike in a few directions, and his skin was an odd (and slightly sickening) yellow color. He wore a green jacket (only his was a dark green while the boy with the watch was a lighter shade), a red and white striped shirt, and blue pants. He had a dopey smile on his face.

"Uh, hey?"

The smile never left the guy's face as he held out his hand, "My name is Ed."

After a few seconds of thinking about whether or not he should be hesitant of this guy, the boy shook his head, "Hey there, Ed. I'm Ben, Ben Tennyson. You wouldn't happen to have any clue as to where we are, would you?"

Ed gained a weird look on his face and began picking at his bottom lip in an odd fashion. The action was weird, but that impassive look he had in his eyes was seriously creeping Ben out. After about twelve seconds, Ed opened his mouth and hope filled Ben has to finally get in answer, "Nope." Or not.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The two teens turned around to see another teenage boy there with them. He had fair skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair. He had bandages wrapped around his arms and legs and he seemed to be wearing a hospital smock.

Ed, being the brave (or stupid) soul, walked forward, "Are you okay?"

The boy replied by roaring and trying to claw at Ed. He threw out his hands as if expecting something to happen, and was shocked when it didn't. "WHERE AM I?! WHAT DID YOU TWO DO TO MY POWERS?!"

Ben decided to intervene before things got out of hand, "Hey, hey, calm down dude. We didn't do anything to your powers and we don't even know where we are? Just relax."

'Don't tell me to relax!"

Ben was starting to get really frustrated by this guy's attitude, "Okay," he took a step forward, "How about stop whining and shut up?"

"ENOUGH!" The two boys were interrupted before they could attack one another and before Ed could try to stop them. Standing in front of the teens, were two strange beings.

The first was had tan skin, hazel eyes, and brown hair. He wore a golden suit of armor as bright as the sun that extended across his entire body. On his right gauntlet was an image of the wind blowing and on his left gauntlet was an image of a tree. On both of his legs were images of water and in the middle of his chest was an image of a mountain. He wore a golden helmet on his head that an eagle on it and strapped to his back was a large sword.

The second figure had deathly pale skin, messy black hair, and burning red eyes. Whereas his accomplice's armor was gold like the day, his was as black as the night. His right gauntlet had an image of a lightning bolt and his left gauntlet had an image of a blizzard. His legs had images of a hurricane and in the center of his chest was a burning fire. His black helmet had an image of, what appeared to be, a mutated wolf and he had a large battle axe strapped to his back.

"Still confident that this is a good idea, brother?"

"Their confusion and irritation is understandable. We've taken the four of them from their worlds to meet with them."

"Wait a minute dudes," Ben spoke up, causing the two figures to look at him, "There are three of us, whoever you two are."

"You may want to look behind you, boy." The three of them did what he said and were greeted by a surprising sight. Behind them, was some form of monster.

The monster was reptilian, like a giant lizard, and stood a few hundred feet tall. It had razor sharp fangs and claws, spikes going along its back, and a long tail. The monster looked down to the five beings that stood before it, its piercing yellow eyes holding anger but also quite a degree of intelligence.

"Well, now that we have you all here, we can begin. First off, introductions. My name is Horus, I am the god of light. This is my brother Kek, the god of darkness. We have summoned you four here for an important reason, we need your help."

"Our help? With what?" Ben eyed these so called "gods" with suspicion.

"The world we came from, the world of Remnant, is in grave danger and we need you four to help save it."

"Why us?" Although Ed wasn't exactly the brightest star in the galaxy, he was smart enough to understand the concept of an entire planet being in trouble. Even though it sounded like something out of one of his many comic books and movies.

"We have seen the lives that you four live, and have seen your power. We believe that your power is exactly what the planet needs in order to survive."

"And why can't you two do it, if you're so powerful?" the blonde boy all but snarled.

Kek glared at him, "Because the dark forces that threaten Remnant are strong enough to the point where not even WE can do anything to stop it. Why else do you think we'd put the faith of our planet in the hands of three foolish teenagers and an overgrown lizard?" Said "lizard" snarled at the dark god, who placed a hand on his axe as if daring the beast to make a move.

"Kek," Horus warned his brother. "I understand that you all would have problems believing us, but we are telling the truth. And I can show you what will happen if the world remains without help." With a wave of his hand, Horus opened a blue portal in the blank whiteness and the four began to see images playing. Although no faces were shown, the images that they saw were enough to scar them. They saw images of people being ripped to shreds by dark monsters and robotic soldiers firing on innocent civilians who tried to run away. They saw a small girl being ripped apart by an unseen force and a man being eaten alive by, what appeared to be, a giant griffon. They saw a woman in a capsule taking an arrow to the heart and another getting her arm chopped off by a man. They saw a large dragon flying over a city, globs of strange substances flying from its rib cage before taking the form of monsters. Finally, they saw two women fighting until one of them took an arrow to the heel. They then saw that same woman take an arrow to the chest before the other woman placed a hand on their forehead and disintegrated her.

The images that they saw truly got to them. Ben and Ed were horrified by the needless and merciless slaughter of the innocent, and even the blonde boy was shocked by this level of destruction. The giant reptile looked at the scenes playing with sadness and fury in its eyes. Sadness by the prospect of so much needless death and destruction, and fury by those who caused it. It may have viewed humans as tiny and, rather, insignificant but it still hated such unneeded violence.

With a snap of Horus's fingers, the portal disappeared, "Now you see why we need your help. This is the future that awaits Remnant should it not receive help. What you saw just then wasn't even the worst case scenario for the planet. Merely a single battle in a war that the people of Remnant cannot win without your help. And, the two of us can grant you all rewards for your help. What you desire most in the Omniverse."

"And what can you two possibly offer that would be worth it?" The blonde boy stated, seemingly getting over the shock from what he saw.

"Our power applies to multiple realms of existence, Andrew. Including the realm of the dead. Help Remnant, and we can bring your mother back to life. Perhaps even Steve too." That statement seemed to get the attention of the now name Andrew. The prospect of having a deceased parent being resurrected was enough to get the attention of virtually anyone, and this Steve was clearly another important person in their lives who they lost.

"Help this world, and the two of us can grant you four anything you could want. Of course, we do understand that we are still asking much of you all. If you do not wish to help, you only need to say it and we shall return you home at once."

Silence enveloped the area until Ben stepped forward, "In my world, I've been a hero for years. In this world and its people need my help, then they're gonna get it."

Ed was the next to step up, "Like the might heroes who have slayed the deadly space zebras to save planet 42, I will help this world of ramen!" Ben and the gods couldn't help but sweat drop at Ed's "enthusiasm".

They all heard the lizard give a growl, and the gods could tell that he was on board too. That left only Andrew.

He grumbled for a second and glared at everyone, "Fine, I'll help. But not for any of you. After I help, you two," he pointed at Horus and Kek, "bring back my mother and Steve."

"We shall, my young friend. Thank you all," Horus put up a hand, which glowed white

"Try not to die. Or get anyone else killed," Kek said as he too raised his hand, it glowing black. The two gods sent beams of energy out until the streams merged and hit the four beings. The four of them roared in pain as it felt like their molecules were being torn apart. Before they disappeared, they could make out the finally words of Horus and Kek.

"Good luck, guardians of Remnant."

"You will need it."

[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]

"Uggggghhhhhhhh," for the second time that day (or in recent memory), Ben found himself waking up with a major headache. He looked around and found himself in a forest.

"Uggggghhhhhhhh, my head hurts," he turned to the sound of Ed's voice and saw the tall boy sitting up, holding his head in both of his heads.

"Whoa Ed, what happened to your teeth"? Hearing Ben's question, Ed felt around his teeth to discover that it had been turned into fangs!

"Whoa. Cool."

'I suppose that one way of putting it." Ben looked over to find Andrew and the lizard, only to discover changes in them.

Andrew, for starters, was no longer in a hospital smock. He now wore a gray shirt with a black hoodie and blue pants.

The young on the other hand went through the biggest change. It went from a giant lizard to a human male! He stood over seven feet tall, even taller than Ed, and had fair skin. He had dark green hair, which seemed to spike upwards, and maintained his yellow eyes. He wore a green shirt with a black leather jacket. He also wore jeans and black fingerless gloves. The strangest thing about him, however, was that he had a large lizard tail behind him. It was nearly a foot long and had dark green scales.

The lizard turned human stood up, groaning before flinching upon seeing his human hands. "What...the hell?"

"Whoa dude, I guess Horus and Kek thought it'd be easier for us to work when one of us isn't a something hundred foot tall."

"Still, would have preferred for them to let me know beforehand," he growled as he continued to examine himself.

"So, now that we can understand you, mind telling us your name?"

"Godzilla."

"Wow, that's such a cool name," Ed said happily, getting close to Godzilla who backed up a step.

"Hate to interrupt this happy occasion, but what exactly are we supposed to do?" Although he wanted to get this mission over with to get his reward, Andrew was certain that he was going to get very annoyed very quickly by these guys.

Suddenly, Ed's widened, "Shhhhhhh," his eyes started darting around at a quick pace.

Ben raised an eyebrow at his behavior, "What's wrong, big guy?"

"Something wicked this way comes." His three traveling companions looked at him with confusion. Eventually, they all heard the sounds of loud growling coming from all directions.

"Looks like we have company," Godzilla stated he crouched down and set out his arms. Ben put a hand over his watch, Andrew put out his hands, and Ed looked at the forest with squinted eyes.

Slowly crawling their way from the shadows, where wolf-like creatures. Their fur was pitch black while their fangs and claws were white. They had white spikes along their backs, arms, and legs. Their faces seemed to be that of a skull with some red markings on it and glowing red eyes.

There had to have been over two dozen of them and they had the four boys surrounded.

"What do we do?" Ed asked his companions.

"We fight," was the only response Godzilla gave before the first wolf pounced. Godzilla slapped it away with his tail before charging at another, his fist at the ready.

Ben pressed down on his watch and a green holographic circle appeared. He appeared to be cycling through the circle by moving his finger in a circle on the watch. When he stopped, the black portion of the watch opened up and a small green and black cylinder appeared. He slammed down on the cylinder and the entire area was consumed in a bright green light.

When the light died down, a strange creature stood in Ben's place. It was a plant-like humanoid figure, standing taller than most humans, with most of its body being green while its sides, neck, portions of its upper body, and face were black. It had roots for feet and had green spike-like objects coming out of its arms while red ones were coming from its shoulders. Its head was surrounded by red spikes that resembled flames while a single yellow one stood, taller than the rest, out of the center of its head. Its eyes were green and oval shaped and in the center of its chest was a black and green circle with a grey outline. "SWAMPFIRE!"

Taking advantage of the creature's confusion, Swampfire created fireballs in each hand and struck down two wolves. He saw the other three looking at him in shock, "I'll explain later! Right now, we need take these things down!" This seemed to get them all back to reality.

Godzilla grabbed another wolf that tried to pounce on him by the throat and snapped it neck before throwing it to the pack. Another leaped on his back and he grabbed it and slammed it into the ground before throwing a strong kick to its skull.

Ed was also showing impressive strength as he was knocking away any wolves that got near him. He was smacking them into rocks and through trees, to the point where most of them had agreed to focus their numbers on him.

Andrew was telekinetically throwing the wolves around as if they were ragdolls. And he wasn't showing them any mercy. He was ripping them apart and throwing them into sky. As they fought, Godzilla noticed that the wolves that were being killed were disintegrating. These definitely aren't normal animals.

Swampfire was taking care of himself quite well. He shot waves of fire from his palms at the wolves and was showing impressive strength by knocking away any of them that got past the flames. With a smirk on his face, he threw multiple seeds from his hands by the feet of the wolves. The seeds sprouted large vines and wrapped themselves around the beasts.

"This is getting us nowhere!" Godzilla told the others as he punched a wolf through the chest before smacking away another.

"If that's what you think, then figure out a plan!" Andrew yelled as he ripped three wolves to shreds using his mind.

"Don't fight each other you guys, fight the wolves!" Ed tried to calm the two of them as he punched a wolf in the skull, its head coming clean off.

Suddenly, Swampfire got an idea, "GUYS! I have a plan! Get in the trees and, when I say so, cover your ears!"

Andrew didn't see the logic in his plan, "Why?!"

"JUST DO IT!" The three boys shared a glance before following Swampfire's instructions and began to climb the trees. Andrew was throwing away any wolves that got too close to them, not out of care for his allies but because he needed them to save this stupid world.

Swampfire slapped the symbol on his chest and another bright green light enveloped the area. Standing in the plant creature's place, was another strange creature. This one was a small creature with white skin and green eyes. He had black spots with white circles in them on his bottom legs that looked like cassette tapes. On his back was a square object that looked like an MP3-player with two lines connecting from it to circles on his head that looked like headphones. He had small green circles on the backs of his hands, green eyes and mouth, and the same symbol from before on his chest. "ECHO ECHO!"

Echo Echo's body suddenly glowed a green color and he began duplicating himself, until he had surrounded all of the remaining wolves. The original looked to the other boys, "Now. Cover. Your. Ears." They were all looking on in shock and that gave Echo Echo the chance he needed, "Wall. Of. SOUND!" All versions of Echo Echo screamed as loud as they could and unleashed a sonic scream. The sound waves surrounded the remaining wolves and created a form of dome.

The creatures all howled in pain for a few seconds before the masks on their heads began to crack. Soon, they began to collapse to the ground until all of them were down. After they fell to the ground, their bodies disintegrated. The Echo Echo clones went back into the original, who slapped the symbol and turned back into Ben. He looked up at the other boys with an arrogant smirk on his face, "And that's how it's done." Godzilla and Andrew rolled their eyes with Ed just looked on with a dopey smile.

They all climbed down from the tree, "We should look for a place to sleep for the night," Godzilla said to the others as he looked and saw that the sun was beginning to set.

"Yeah," Ben agreed, "That would probably be smart."

"Tally hoe, my comrades!" Ed said loudly as he ran forward, only to trip on his own feet, "I'm okay!"

"I'm surrounded by idiots," Andrew muttered under his breath as the four of them began walking forward.

And thus, Remnant has received its guardians.

(Author's Note: And, just like that, the first chapter ends. So, for the protectors of the planet, we've got a kaiju turned human (or faunus), a teen who can shapeshift into aliens, a dopey (yet powerful) giant, and a telekinetic with anger issues. Good luck Remnant.

Couple of things that I want to say.

1. Yes, the gods in this chapter are the two brother gods of light and darkness from the story that Qrow told Team RNJR. The images didn't exactly give us a clear description of their physical forms, so I decided to come up with them myself.

2. In terms of the Ben 10 timeline, this story takes place after Ultimate Alien but before Omniverse. While it did have its good qualities, there was just a lot of stuff in Omniverse that I didn't like. Plus, I haven't even seen the entire series so it would just be easier to have this set in between Ultimate Alien and Omniverse. Sorry to Omniverse fans. In terms of the Ed Edd n Eddy timeline, it takes place a few years after Big Picture Show. I heard that the Eds are twelve years old in the show and that would make this takes place about four years after that. Basically, Ed is sixteen right now. In terms of the Chronicle timeline, it's shortly after Andrew's death. In terms of the Godzilla timeline, I can't tell you right now. It'll spoiler something major that I have planned for the future.

3. I'm using Legendary's "MonsterVerse" Godzilla that came from the 2014 movie. That includes his personality. He prefers to avoid unnecessary conflict, shown in the movie where he didn't attack the military even after they injured him. He's also very intelligent than one would assume from a being his size. In this story, Godzilla is gonna be a smart and calm individual. Preferring to use words instead of combat, but won't hesitate to fight in the need arises. He also won't attack unless he deems it necessary.

4. Right now, these four have been brought to Remnant one full year before the events of volume 1. It'll give them some time to get used to the world that they're on before any of the main stuff happens.

5. Yes, the images that they saw was from the Fall of Beacon. This was to play an emotional card so that they'll be willing to help. No, they didn't see any of the actual faces of the people so they don't know who was involved. I have plans for that in the future. Sit back and relax, cause this is looking to be a long story.

6. Yeah, Andrew is gonna be a jerk for a quite a while in the story. You have to remember that this is immediately after Chronicle and anyone who has seen the movie knows how Andrew was. I'm trying to capture his and the other's personalities just right. It might be a little diffiuclt, so be patient with me. And don't worry, Andrew's attitude will improve. At some point.

7. Godzilla and Ed are both faunus. Godzilla is a reptile (probably a lizard) and as for Ed...well, I guess you'll guys just have to wait and find out now won't you:)

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. Review, favorite, follow, and I'll see you guys next time :)
