And here it is people, as requested by MyFunVideos, the sequel to An Author's Rampage... Kaede's Redemption.
Chapter 1: A New World and A New Life
Reality shifted around the young girls as they were thrown from their horrid reality into a more fair dimension where Kaede's powers weren't so out of the ordinary.
As they began to materialize, they received knowledge of this new world, nothing unknown to the public, simply the existence of the Faunus, Aura, the Grimm, and the name of their new home: Remnant.
The girls landed on their feet, slightly surveying their new surroundings before staring at each other, any thoughts of where in Remnant they were or the likelihood of a Grimm attack could find no room in the girls' minds as the weight of the last hour crushed them mercilessly.
A group of paramilitary witch-hunters tried to abduct Kaede for being a mutant homosapien called a diclonius, Aiko was almost killed for being mistaken as a diclonius because she was wearing Kaede's hat, and the only reason none of this came to pass was because a God-like being who called himself the Super Saiyan Diclonius killed their attackers and sent them to another dimension full of magic, monsters, and medieval weapons that turn into guns that shoot people with dust.
Shock, confusion, and relief that each other was all right caused the preteens to tearfully hug each other for a long while.
After their embrace ended, the two girls saw that they were in a forest, a dirt road had been carved into the forest floor by regular traffic and they decided to follow it, worst case scenario: the Grimm meet anime's most reluctant Dark Messiah.
The road was long and quiet, the travelers were young and board, a conversation was inevitable.
"Sooo, what's your take on all of this?" Opened Aiko.
"...Well...I'm definitely glad to be in a world where people who have horns aren't too unusual, but I still think we should try to find a Faunus village over a human one." Kaede replied.
"Well, I think a mixed village would be the best choice, where humans and Faunus live together, but I was honestly hoping that we could start with this whole "diclonius" thing." Aiko countered.
"Wu- what's there to talk about?" Kaede played dumb hoping that her friend would drop it.
"Well, I know that Kurama was crazy after what He said he did to his own family, but what if there was a reason they were overreacting, I mean, I know you're not a monster, but.." Aiko hesitated when she saw the look on Kaede and realized that she had touched a nerve.
"But what." Kaede demanded, seeking an explanation to why her friend, her only friend, would sound like she condoned what that monster was doing to her species, while a long silent voice began to whisper inside her head once again.
But you are a monster to them, you don't belong beside these apes, you belong above them.
"Well, there was a string of unsolved murders a long time ago...someone killed a bunch of families in their homes and lived in their houses with the bodies and.. the killings stopped after the killer massacred a bunch of people at a festival, the only survivor was a poor boy..they...they found him covered head to toe in his sister's blood, they never found the guy who did it and...I think it mi-" Aiko had kept her eyes down the whole time, uncomfortable with the memory of the news broadcasts and how they described the gruesome killings, but now that she looked at her friend, Kaede was completely horrified.
"Kaede?" Aiko asked, nervously approaching the frightened diclonius.
"It's okay, even if a diclonius was responsible, I know you would never do such a thing, you're not a mons-" As Aiko reached out a comforting hand, Kaede turned and fled into the woods.
"KAEDE!!"
Kaede ran and didn't stop for anything, if a branch or even a whole tree blocked her path, it was torn away by her vectors. Why? why did she know? WHY!?
"KAEDE! WAIT! I'M SORRY!!!" Aiko called out desperately as she ran after her friend, completely confused by her reaction, Aiko knew it wasn't her, it couldn't have been.
"KAEDE PLE-KYAAAA!!" Kaede came to a screeching halt and turned to the sounds of Aiko's scream and the sight that greeted her made her blood run cold.
Aiko had barely dodged the first attack by back pedaling, but now she was separated from Kaede by what could only be described as a monster.
She knew that it was a Grimm but she only knew the vaguest knowledge of the creatures, the one in front of her looked like a werewolf of some kind, that was all she knew.
The Grimm growled and prepared to lunge at her a second time, but as it pounced at Aiko, it exploded into a shower of gore.
Aiko threw her hands up so that she wouldn't be blinded by the carnage, when she lowered her arms, Kaede was there.
There was no time to talk about it, snarls and growls revealed a pack of the monsters had surrounded them.
Kaede pulled Aiko closer behind her and Aiko could feel something wrap around her, pulsating rapidly.
Aiko and Kaede looked from one monster to the other, waiting for the first attack.
The attack would never come, for as suddenly as the Grimm appeared, they were all of a sudden encased in ice that just as suddenly shattered into billions of pieces.
The girls were pulled from their shock by the sound of footsteps, footsteps belonging to a woman with a bright blue dress with a white trim and carrying a similarly colored staff.
She had pale white skin and almost white blond hair and piercing blue eyes that actually radiated warmth as she looked at the girls.
Kaede remained defensive, solely for the fact that the woman was human, though she was hopeful after seeing this woman's own strange power.
"You needn't fear me Kaede, I am here to help you." The woman said, shocking the girls.
"You, you know my name, how?" Kaede asked.
"Because He created me." The Woman said, and the girls immediately knew who she was talking about.
"The Super Saiyan Diclonius sent you!?" Aiko exclaimed.
"I will not be taking part in the main story when the ball gets rolling, but yes, I and one other were created... to be your parents." The woman said, which sent Kaede's mind reeling.
Parents... he saved me from becoming slaughter incarnate, brought me to a new world where I could be accepted... and gave me PARENTS!?
"So, shall I show you home?" The woman, their mother, asked them.
Author's Note: I am not going to keep the "I am God" thing going on much longer, but rather than dropping these two in Beacon with lore knowledge up to Vol. 6
,I figured I'd let them learn of this world from a more practical source and then time skip them to around Yang's age (their close to Ruby's age at this point, if not younger) with vol. 4 knowledge.
Also, Aiko's knowledge of Kaede's past will definitely come up later, but not immediately.
And yes, their mother is the Winter maiden who we're probably not gonna see in canon this volume.
