"Salutations Friends" Said a new form of a girl about Ruby's height with orange hair in a bow wearing a green and white German style dress with green and black boots the other was a aging man with graying hair around his ears wearing a white Atlas Military uniform with white gloves
"One where are we and Two Schnee and Qrow what are you wearing?" Asked James who saw both Qrow and Winter in a wedding dress and suit with Winters hair down before he notice something,Something that not even the combined efforts of him Ozpin Glynda and Raven could do! Get the stench of old alcohol off him.
"What the hell how did you get us in these clothes with out us noticing?" Asked a freaking out winter them she saw our favorite Author giving Nora A huge bag of money "Here is your cut from putting Winter in that dress plus a little extra for putting her hair down." Said darth Sparta at a altar in his own suit next to Jaune and Pyrrha but Jaune is in the dress.
"it is sad that you look better in that dress that look better in the dress" Said DS (Darth Sparta)"in a surprised way
"oh and before I forget James don't ask for the matrix" ordered Sparta our cosplaying author.
"What is the matrix? asked a confuse general when there was a flash of light and both men were in a new setting they were in two different chair both wearing way to much black (even for me) Sparta was wearing a new pair of dark sunglasses and a leather trench coat "
"The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth." He said in a deep voice that just goes on and on trying to You to sleep
"what the hell are you talking about And give me my clothes back." Said a angry General reaching for his gun that for some reason was still there.
"Enough we are here to read the story so lets all just sit down be quiet" Said a now very annoyed Glynda with her aura Visible and the looks in her eyes were daring anyone to dare argue.
"YES MAMA/AY SIRE!" said everyone and a talking blue flying cat that cane out of she started to read.
Remnant
8:12 P.M.
The Creatures of Grimm...
Beings made entirely of darkness, the sole purpose of them is to drive humanity towards the edge of extinction. A goal these creatures have in mind since the birth of humanity nearly centuries ago.
"That is very disturbing though I can't think of what that be like, I changed into a Petrosapien a race of living Diamonds counting me there was one left his planet was destroyed by Vilgax but knowing that you are on the endangered list that's horrifying " Said ben before Ironwood could ask Glynda started reading again
It was to the point where the Grimm have survived and have adapted in their attempt to destroy humanity.
Realizing that it was only a matter of time until it was too late for them. Then, they would strike the final blow to end humanity once and for all, but, the Grimm were able to bide their time until such a time came.
This single Beowolf had tracked a new victim; a human.
However, once it cornered a human walking around, thinking it was easy prey for them to tear into until they saw soon realized this human was very different from the others they've slaughtered over the years. Now, the roles were reversed and the creature was now the hunted.
A bright emerald light caused the creature to look away and once it turned around, it was baffled by what it saw.
"Four Arms!" The mysterious human announced.
"Whoa whoa what was that and how can you do that?" asked James so ben answered
"One Explanation later" (spongebob narrator voice)
Everyone who was not there for the first chapter and before anyone could say anything ben cut off anything they were going to say "before you ask no I am not going to let you where it nor am I going to let you replicate level 20 technology."
Standing in front of the Grimm was an extremely red-skinned humanoid, a being that stood around twelve feet tall. The red humanoid has a black stripe that goes from his chin to his lower lip, a black ponytail, and four green eyes. It wore gold wrist and ankle bands with black fingerless gloves, black pants that has a gold waistband, as well as two golden sashes across its chest. It also has tattoo-like stripes on it's body. It's most unusual feature was that it had two pairs of four-fingered well developed four arms and looked quite imposing compared to the Grimm, even if it was encased with it's bone-liked armor, showing that it had survived for quite some time.
"Well you could say he is pretty well armed." said Yang with a grin and a tomato to the face from Sparta.
"Alright ugly... be a good doggy and I won't hurt you too badly!" Four Arms taunted, preparing himself in case the creature attacked him.

" this music is catchy I kind of want this for my scroll ringtone" Said ruby.
Just as predicted, the wolf-like creature merely growled at him, revealing the sharp teeth in it's maw. Then, without warning, the creature charged at the teen hero, intent on ripping apart whatever it was standing before it.
The wolf-like creature soon jumped using it's hind legs, attempting to overwhelm the Tetramand, but this simple attack would cost the creature dearly.
Ben soon caught the creature by it's snout with two of his arms and merely threw the creature against a nearby tree. As it got up from the ground, the wolf-like creature started another attack, intent on finishing off the strange being before it.
Realizing that if he doesn't do something quickly, the situation might get worse than it already is.
'Sorry about this...' Ben thought solemnly.
"You shouldn't be sorry." Yang Said.
Steeling his determination, the teen hero charged the wolf and the two entered a dangerous game of chicken. Just as the two were about to collide, Ben aimed for the lower body of the creature and tackled it to the ground.
Due to the Tetramand's enhanced strength, Ben was able to use two of his arms to restrain the creature before him. His other two reached for it's jaws and started pulling them apart, causing the creature to howl out in pain. It didn't take long for the sound of bone being broken to be heard.
As he got off from the creature, Ben noticed the wisp of dark smoke coming off it's body.
Within a few moments, the body of the creature had dissipated, leaving behind no evidence of it's existence at all.
"What just happened to the creature"Asked ben in a curious way with the others remembering that he was not from there world do someone answered.
"When a creature of Grim dies there bodes turn into wisp of smoke no one knows why but I think that they appear in a another place."told D.S he Said in a carefree voice and everyone else in the room gaining wide eyes from the thought.
Before the Ultimatrix bearer could dwell on this thought, he heard more sounds of growling behind him.
"Man... what did I ever do to deserve this?" the Tetramand asked out loud.
In front of him were about a dozen or so crimson glowing eyes, all of them focused on the teen hero. Coming from the darkness of the forest, their gaping maws were filled with teeth covered in saliva dripping off their mouths. Their growls soon turned into a chorus as they approached the one standing before them.
Ben made sure to keep his guard up. He couldn't risk losing his focus with how many of them they're were.
'Gotta stay light on my feet and hit hard if I'm going to make it out of this.' Ben told himself this plan, even if it was simple at best.
One of the wolves charged him, intent on tearing the Tetramand piece by piece. However, the hero managed to grab the wolf by it's throat an crush it with absolute ease. Using the body of the dead creature, Ben threw it at the two of the creatures, causing them to get knocked over.
While out of the corner of his eyes, the Tetramand saw one of the creatures trying to sneak up on him.
He couldn't help but smirk at what was going to happen next. Ben turned on the ball of his heels and threw a pair of punches from his left arms. The sheer force of the hit crushed the skull of the Beowolf, causing black blood to spill across the ground.
With two out of the six creatures were gone, only four remained.
Realizing that he needed to end this quickly, Ben saw the four wolves starting to work together, proving that these creatures certainly did work like a real pack of wolves. Knowing what may happen next, the Tetramand prepared himself for what was going to happen next.
Two of the creatures on his sides jumped at him, causing him to grab them with his arms and smashing their heads into another. Since the creatures were unconscious by the look of things, Ben's attention was now on the final pair of wolf-like creatures left.
Deciding to anger the creatures, Ben used the 'bring it on' taunt.
Both creatures rushed the Tetramand, who knew the fight was already over with just these two left. Ben charged the wolves and just as the creatures were about to attack, the teen hero grabbed them by the jaws and proceeded to crush them until the creatures stopped fighting back.
With that in mind, Ben could let out a sigh of relief when the fight was finally over.
"It's never that easy." Blake Said.

However, nothing ever goes Ben Tennyson's way, and the universe was done testing him in this new world as the Tetramand could hear a growl in the distance, but this time, it sounded deeper and far more primal.
Like it was far older than any of the ones he had fought.
BGM - Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds - Iron Man's Theme
"This one got this techno feeling to it... I don't like it"Said Nora getting nods from the others except for Penny.
As he turned around, Ben saw another wolf-like creature standing a few meters away from him, except this one was different than the others. It stood at almost equal height as the Tetramand with it's crimson eyes locked onto the form of Ben. It had additional bone-like armor compared to the others and seemed far more capable of inflicting pain.
I'm guessing this the leader of the pack, or the Alpha I should say.' Ben thought.
"Yes it is the alpha how great your observation skills most be" said Sparta ignoring the glare from Ben.
The two circled one another, waiting for one of them to make the first move. There was still quite a bit of time left on the Ultimatrix timer limiter before he was going to transform back into a human, meaning Ben needed to end this fight.
Without warning, the Alpha let out a howl and ran at the Tetramand with the intention of making it pay for killing it's pack.
Ben managed to grab onto the arms of the alpha wolf and hold it back using his superior strength. The creature continued to press forward as it tried biting off the head of the being it was entangled with at the moment.
Using his other pair of arms, the Tetramand kept it's jaw closed
The teen hero started pushing back and didn't hesitate to break the wrist of the creature. A howl of pain escaped it's thorax and echoed throughout the forest, causing local wildlife to scatter from the battle.
"Sorry about this mutt, but you need to go!" Four Arms yelled.
He used the immense strength the Tetramand DNA possessed and lifted the Alpha over his head. Letting out a groan, Ben proceeded to throw the creature in the general direction of the forest. As the creature was on the ground, still alive from the impact, Ben made his way over and saw that it was barely breathing and looked to be on the verge of death as black smoke leaked from it's jaws.
Sighing, Ben knew what he was about to do that was against everything he stood for, but these creatures attacked him, forcing him to make a decision he never worry about.
"Well... it's better than a slow and painful death." muttered the Tetramand.
Placing his foot against the creature's skull, Ben looked away as put some strength into it and crushed the skull of the beast. Instantly the beast was dead, most likely suffering the same fate as it's pack did.
"Man, what did I get myself into?" Four Arms said as he looked to the forest all around him, still waiting to see if any more of these creatures were going to appear.
After nearly a minute or two of silence, the forest was quiet. Darkness surrounded Ben and in a flash of emerald green light he turned back into his human self realizing that the timer already expired and the Ultimatrix is set to Recharge Mode. He'd rather make sure it was fully recharge in 10 minutes in case he gets into another confrontation.
Ben started making his way through the forest, knowing that he needed to find some shelter for the night if he was going to make it through this new universe.
BGM Ends
A Few Minutes Later
A few minutes since Ben had left the clearing, another figure dropped down into the clearing from the trees. The figure was a man in his late thirties with graying black, spiky hair, red eyes, and a slight stubble along his jawline. He wore a gray dress shirt with a long tail, a red tattered cloak, black dress pants, and black dress shoes.
He also wears a ring on his right index finger, two other rings on his right fourth finger, and a necklace with a crooked cross-shaped pendant.
This man was Qrow Branwen. A former bandit of the Branwen Tribe, former member of Team STRQ, and a former teacher of Signal Academy.
"Team STRQ?" Ben asked Qrow.
"we were a team of hunters masters of our respected crafts I was the spy and intelligence gatherer Ruby's Mother summer was the scout and leader and raven my sister and Yangs mother was the assassin and Tai yang Ruby and Yangs dad was the heavy hitter of our team and the one with the bad jokes." answered Qrow
was out in the forests of Remnant busting his butt out to find the source of the disturbance that happened here.
Until a few minutes later, he witness what he saw was unknown and fascinating at the same time in the forest as he found what was the source of the disturbance coming from.
He saw a teenage boy in a green jacket, transformed in a flash of green light into a unknown creature with four arms as he used his unknown power to completely decimate the Creatures of Grimm.
With his massive scythe held in his left hand, Qrow looked at the scene the kid left behind from his encounter with the Grimm.
Reaching into his pocket, he withdrew his Scroll and pressed it to his ear, "Ozpin, this is Qrow here, I found the source of the disturbance. You're not going to believe what I just witnessed."
"I just say it and I don't believe it." Said Ozpin getting looks of agreement from the other teachers.
One Hour Later
How long has it been?
It was one of the many questions that Ben had at the moment as he continued to travel throughout he forest. With the moon rising high into the night sky, it's appearance was more than enough to prove to the Ultimatrix bearer that he was in a completely different place.
Ever since the sun had set and darkness filled the forest, Ben kept an eye on his surroundings, hoping he didn't need to fight any more strange creatures.
Those wolves weren't difficult, but they did put up a new fight. They were essentially acting like animals trapped in a corner, and those were the most dangerous kind as they would fight with every ounce in them.
Continuing to make his trek through the forest, Ben could only wonder if Gwen and Kevin can both find him in this universe he was in. He knew the situation that he was in, it was down to a single decision between recklessly jumping into a dimensional wormhole that led him to this universe and for not contacting them and jumping into the wormhole without them knowing.
In the end, it was a difficult but easy decision to make in the moment.
"Ya not one of my best moments" Ben said.
And now, the young hero was stuck in some universe with creatures that roam the land with the intent to kill humans, or anything it could find in reality. Pushing some of the branches out of the way, Ben finally found a river running through the area.
"Finally!" he said, "A place where I can actually sit down for five minutes without being attacked... hopefully."
"No don't jinx it the universe hates us so saying that something will happen other me!" Ben Said.
Making sure there weren't any immediate threats in the area, Ben walked towards the river and sat down on the bank, feeling exhausted and hungry from everything that's happened today.
Sighing, the young man soon laid back and could only hope that nothing would happen. All he wanted was five minutes of being able to think about his predicament and figure out a solution to this whole mess. What could honestly happen that needs Ben's attention?
Just as he thought that the universe was going to leave him alone, he heard sounds of screaming in the distance.
" I new it I new it the universe hates me and my other self jinxed it." said Ben.
"Why does this happen to me?!" Ben yelled, frustrated at what he's been through this day. Soon his own conscience was telling him to go check it out, and since he couldn't ignore a sign of trouble, the young hero got up from the ground and went in the general direction of the scream.
He walked through the endless forest for quite some time, being very careful not to make too much noise. Since he was new in this world, there was no telling what other creatures inhabited this forest, or if there was anything friendly for miles in any direction he went in.
Ben kept searching for where the scream might have come from, but didn't have much luck in the results category.
Just as he was about to give up on the chase, the young hero had heard sounds of running in the distance followed by heavier footsteps not too far behind. His immediate thought was to turn into one of his transformations, but he couldn't be completely sure that whatever it was in the area was hostile.
There was a chance, and a small, that this was a person, but he kept his expectations low for such a thing.
Realizing that needed to keep up, the young hero activated his Ultimatrix and started looking through the various aliens available to him. After scrolling through a few of the holograms, he finally found the one he was looking for.
"Alright, time to do some work." Ben said as he slammed the core, activating the usual emerald green light.
Once the light died, all what remained of Ben was replaced with a much smaller alien being that resembled a monkey in some ways, but different in others as it had four arms, two pairs of green eyes, two legs, and three fingers on each hand and three toes on both feet. Most of it's body was covered in blue fur while it's chest was mainly covered in dark blue fur as well as the entirety of it's tail with two stripes of blue near the tip. It wore the Ultimatrix Symbol on his chest.
"Spidermonkey!" the Arachnichimp shouted followed by some monkey noises.
"This is no time to be monkeying around" Yang said as everyone just bood except for Ben who was chuckling.
'someone actually laughed at my puns.' though Yang.
Quickly, the hero used his agility to move along the tree branches with ease. After jumping from tree to tree, Spidermonkey made sure to keep quiet as he didn't want to alert either party involved of his presence.
The Arachnichimp jumped off one of the branches of the tree and leaped forward, making sure to keep those involved in his sight.
Using his enhanced hearing, the young hero was able to pick up on the sound of heavy breathing down below him. While the other party involved was merely a group of animals roaring at something they were chasing, almost like a bear roaring at something.
Deciding to get a closer look, the teen hero started following the chase via webs.
Since Arachnichimps were capable of creating webs, hence the name Spidermonkey, Ben was able to use the webs in a similar manner to Spider-Man. Once he was able to see who and what was involved,
Ben saw that it was a girl with long, brown hair and brown eyes. She appeared to be no older than him, she wore a short, long-sleeved brown jacket with a golden zipper, brown shorts with golden detail and black leggings. She also wears a black, semi-translucent undershirt beneath her jacket, along with golden spaulders and vambraces on both arms, as well as a similar belt, and her heels and toes are likewise protected.
And in a flash of light the girl they were just reading about appeared in a flash of light followed by music you would find in a old children's cartoon show with a white and grey rabbit.
She was currently running away from a group of bears, but ones that looked to be on steroids. These bears were about the size of an average grizzly bear with the familiar bone-like armor covering with the familiar crimson eyes completely focused on the girl in front of them.
Ben knew he couldn't let this girl suffer such a grizzly fate.
"Booooooo!" The pun haters called.
BGM - Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds - Spider-Man's Theme
"You would help a Faunus out?" Blake asked in a hopeful tone.
"so that's what she is and yes I would help anyone no matter what because it's the right thing to do and I'm here so it it's my job plus I'm sure lots of people would help her if they saw it" replied Ben then seeing everyone looking nervous.
"I hate to be the one to tell you this lots of people are very racist against Faunus fortunately not everyone is" said Ren.
"This one sounds like you should be at a beach instead of a fight" commented Qrow before trying to drink his booze
"yuck what was that?" Everyone expect for Velvet and Penny just looked amused.
"That was spoiled milk" answered D.S dressed up in a farmers outfit.
Out of the inability of him to leave people in danger, Ben quickly devised a plan that would require him to tie up the bear-like animals, one at a time of course, and make sure they don't notice any of their brethren missing.
Though if things do get hairy, Ben was more than capable of taking these things on since Spidermonkey had enhanced superhuman strength for something as small as him.
Knowing that the girl couldn't keep this chase up forever, the Arachnichimp went to work as he started using his webs to make a makeshift muzzle around the snout of the bear closest to the back and webbing them to the nearest tree.
He rinsed and repeat the process a few times until they were only three or four of them left.
However, his luck seem to have run out as the girl was soon caught off by the other members of this pack. Even Ben was impressed with such a thing, making him wonder if these creatures were smarter than they appeared to be.
As the creatures encircled the girl, Ben needed to make this quick and get her out of there.
The Arachnichimp attached a web to the branch he was resting on at the moment and tied it around his waist. Taking one last deep breath, the hero couldn't help but wonder why he had this knack for saving people, even if the situation was dire.
"Well... geronimo!" Spidermonkey yelled as he jumped off the branch.
Meanwhile, Velvet Scarlatina was currently for her life. The girl was now trapped by Ursa Grimm on all sides, and she was useless without her weapon at the moment. She may be a huntress in training, but that doesn't mean she doesn't become terrified when death was knocking on her door.
"Who wouldn't be scared?" Velvet asked.
However, as she was running, she noticed the group of Ursa Grimm chasing her had thinned out as time went on. It took one glance and she noticed a blue furred creature attacking the pack of Grimm attacking her. She could only wonder what it was that was helping her, or so she hoped it was. Though being surrounded by Grimm that wanted nothing more than to tear her apart, Velvet couldn't help but despair.
Just as one of the creatures launched itself at her, she closed her eyes, waiting for the attack to happen...
"Oh please don't let us see a friend die." Ruby asked.
Or she thought it was.
Cracking one one of her eyes, Velvet was astonished by what was happening in front of her. Standing in front of her was the familiar blue furred creature from earlier, and upon closer look, it resembled a primate more and more.
Though there were a few differences such as the fact that it has four arms and another pair of eyes.
'Seriously! Everywhere I've been so far has ended up with me fighting these creatures!' Ben thought angrily, who turned around and took a good look at the girl he was trying to protect from these things.
He was right when he said that she looked around his age with long brown hyair and brown eyes. Ben could admit the girl was really pretty, however what caught his eyes were the two brown rabbit ears on top of her head, but they were currently bent over her eyes.
Only one thought entered the hero's mind, 'Okay... I didn't expect this day to end with me finding a cute rabbit girl... I'll take it universe, its certainly better than the crap you've been giving me all day.'
"You think I'm cute?" Velvet asked shyly.
"So long as you don't eat me like some Were rabbits I know." Ben said, earning confused looks.
Focusing back on the current danger, Ben saw that there were about a dozen of these creatures surrounding the two of them.
"See I told you there was a dozen Ursa in my story they just happened to be there in this universe."Nora shouted in her usual excited way.
The only logical thing he could do was get the girl out of danger and letting him fight at his best without having to be too concerned about the girl's safety. Out of the corner of his eyes, the Arachnichimp saw that one of the bear-like creatures was going to attack the girl.
"Oh no you don't doggie! Hoo hoo haa!" Spidermonkey exclaimed as he made his move, intending on getting this girl out of harm's way.
Ben quickly moved to intercept the creature and kicked it's head, causing it to fly into a few others.
Using the Arachnichimp's enhanced agility, Ben quickly grabbed the girl by her waist, causing her to let out a yelp, and jumped high enough to avoid the creatures. Once the Arachnichimp reached a branch high enough so that she'd be safe, he looked at her and saw her frightened expression.
"Don't worry I'll keep you safe." Spidermonkey assured, even giving her a thumbs up with all four of his arms.
"I think I will go out on a limb and say she will be fine" Yang said but again everyone just ignored her.
And yet, the girl remained petrified. The Arachnichimp sighed, knowing that she was probably terrified of the situation at hand since they were these creatures chasing after her, and add in the fact that she was saved by a mysterious creature, which was Ben.
All in all, the teen hero couldn't blame her.
The Arachnichimp looked over the edge of the branch and saw the creatures were still roaming the area, most likely trying to find them. Realizing that if he didn't take care of these creatures then they were only going to become a much worse problem.
Deciding to make the call, the hero knew what needed to be happen.
He turned to face Velvet, speaking to her gently, "Okay, what I'm about to do is draw those things away from here. What I need you to do is to get away from here as fast as you can, can you do that for me?"
The girl showed some signs of surprise in the way her eyes widened and body movement, "W-Why are y-you helping me?" she asked in a soft tone, barely above a whisper.
A smile appeared on the Arachnichimp's face, "Because who would leave a girl as cute as you in trouble?" he asked before jumping off the branch and landing back onto the ground, where the bear-like creatures were waiting.
Velvet peeked over the edge and saw the small fight between her mysterious savior and the hounds.
She saw her savior fight with such speed and strength, especially for a creature as small he was. Then the Arachnichimp fired his webbing from his tail and wrapped it around one of the hounds, causing to try and tear the webbing off, but to no avail.
Within a few minutes, the Arachnichimp had scared off the remaining members of the pack while the rest were either dead or dying at this point.
BGM Ends
The rabbit Faunus couldn't help but wonder who her savior was. What was that creature? And how it was able to talk to her as if it was nothing out of the ordinary? Velvet had many questions and could only wonder who is this person?
Until she heard the cheerful voice of the Arachnichimp once again.
"Alright!" Spdiermonkey said as he landed back on the branch, noticing Velvet was still here, "W-What? I told you to get out of here while I dealt them..."
His expression was one of confusion and bewilderment. The teen hero told the girl to get out of here while he fought, so why was she still here to begin with. Maybe she needed to tell him something or maybe didn't hear him, or some other random possibility.
"Who, or what... are you?" she asked in a whisper.
The Arachnichimp thought about it for a second, "Well... this form is called Spidermonkey, hence the webs and the monkey look." he said. However, he went towards her and grabbed her by the waist, causing her to wonder what was he doing.
He jumped over the branch, causing Velvet to close her eyes and hold onto the Arachnichimp.
Only failing to notice the Arachnichimp reaching for the green hourglass symbol on his chest, causing an emerald green light to bathe the area.
As she felt they were back on the ground, she noticed something completely out of the ordinary.
Instead of being in the hands of the blue monkey creature, she was now being held in a bridal carry by a young man around her age with shaggy brown hair and emerald green eyes. The young man wore a black shirt, blue pants, a green jacket with white stripes and the number 10 on it, along with black shoes.
'Huh! W-Where did he come from?' Velvet thought, currently blushing like a tomato at the moment.
"That is what I would like to know" Said a new voice in the room everyone looked around until the voice talked again.
"down here" Said the voice it looked like a old two legged grey toad with six hairs acting like a beard with large green eyes wearing a green and black robe with no shoes this was..
"Azmuth when did you get here?" Asked ben
"just now what is going on here?"Asked Azmuth
"we are here to read/watch this story" Ozpin replied before looking at Glynda.
"Glynda why don't you give someone a turn to read you have been reading for a while."Said Ozpin
"I would like to read for a while" said Azmuth
"Yeah, you met my form Spidermonkey," he said, hopefully she wasn't terrified at the moment, "And my real name is Ben. Ben Tennyson."
Velvet could only wonder what he meant by that...
"C-Could... you please put me d-down now?" she asked in an embarrassed tone, making Ben realize how he was holding her right now. A soft hue of pink could be seen on his face as well putting her down.
Ten Minutes Later
Both Velvet and Ben continued making their way to the village where the girl lived, along with her family members and as well as others who lived there.
Since arriving in this world, all Ben got to meet was the local creatures that wanted nothing more than to tear him limb from limb. Not exactly the kindest welcoming party he's received in a very long time, not since the Highbreed incident from a couple years ago.
Focusing on the current situation, the Ultimatrix bearer and Velvet walked for a bit until they reached the top of a hill, where they could see a town in the valley below. Taking a closer look, there were large wooden walls surrounding the town itself, letting Ben figure out that these were definitely used for protection due to the numerous people currently working on it at the moment.
Letting the hero know that these people fought of these creatures on a regular basis.
"Do you guys always get attacked by those things out there?" Ben asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
Velvet felt quite reluctant to answer his question, but knew that if Ben didn't know those creatures he fought were Grimm, then he knew he was most definitely was not from around here. Everyone knew what the Grimm were, and now she meets a boy her own age who doesn't know what they are at all.
"Hey Azmuth could the Ultimatrix turn me into a grim?" Asked ben in a very curious tone.
"maybe I would have to get a sample of their DNA to run some test first to see if it is safe probably not from what I told" answered Azmuth.
"They have no dna." Ozpin said.
Something was seriously off if this was the case.
The rabbit Faunus answered his question, "Y-Yes... those creatures you fought are called Grimm. They are beings that want nothing more than to drive humanity towards extinction, it's all we know about them in reality. That's all we've figured out about them in the time since we were all born."
"How bad?" Ben asked, following up with another question.
She knew he was only curious, "To the point where if you went outside the walls of the four Kingdoms, then the chances of you surviving would drop in the low percentages."
Ben couldn't help but remain silent and process what he was told. Here he was, a person who came from another universe, and he landed in another that was some twisted world where humanity was on the verge of extinction with these creatures being the ones responsible for such a thing.
"Wow... I, uh, didn't think it would be that bad." the hero muttered to himself as he kept following the rabbit girl in front of him.
Due to Velvet's superior hearing, she was able to hear what Ben said and it only helped to confirm that he wasn't from around here. Either he had amnesia of some sorts or didn't come from Remnant at all, and the former sounded as a more sound theory rather than some half-baked idea that only the insane of Remnant would come up with.
For now, she would drop it because the young man following her had saved her life and didn't ask anything in return. Even trusting her to some degree with the fact that he had the ability to turn into unknown creatures...
But the young man didn't go very much into detail about how he did so. The rabbit Faunus had held a small fear in the back of her mind from where she saw Ben protecting her, in the form of that creature he turned into, and though he would try to have his way with her. It was common for Faunus women to be sexually assaulted, a fear that Velvet first had unlocked until she noticed how concerned he was for her well-being.
A human, no less.
"seriously is racism that bad" Asked ben but no one would answer.
Especially with how strained the relationship between humans and Faunus were at the moment. The fight for equality has been a long, perilous road that seemingly has no end in sight. All Velvet wants to do is to live in a world where there are no prejudice against her people.
Before she could continue her thoughts, she felt someone pull on her shoulder lightly and moved her.
The girl focused back on what was happening around her, realizing Ben had pulled her out of the way before she walked into a tree. A soft hue of pink was seen on her cheeks, feeling somewhat embarrassed that someone needed to do such a thing.
Velvet looked at Ben, trying to hide the blush on her cheeks, "Thank You."
While the teen hero merely shook his head, "Don't sweat it."
As the two continued walking towards the town, they soon noticed those working on the walls of the town, they soon noticed those working on the walls of the town, and many of them, in Ben's eyes, were similar to Velvet as they all had animal features of some sort. It was almost strange for Ben to see this, but because he could turn into aliens from across his universe, it nullified the feeling to some degree.
Soon many of the people working, most of them being men, took notice of Velvet, but most of them looked... angered, was the best word to describe their expressions.
'Uh-oh... looks like there's problems here.' Ben thought.
"And the award for the most observational person is *gasp* Ben Tennyson" d.s. Said before handing ben a trophy with a statue of Sherlock Homes.
Over the course of his time being a hero, the young teen was able to understand when there was negativity pointed in his direction. Throughout his career of being a hero he had faced adversity in the form of people who hated him for being different than others, or the fact that him doing things that no person should be able to at his age.
This feeling wasn't all that different, but he felt it was something much deeper at play here than he originally though.
Since they didn't know about him, it must have had something to do with being human. If that was the case, then he honestly doesn't remember the amount of times he's heard other races hating humans.
Both were about to reach the entrance of the town until one of the townsfolk called out to the rabbit Faunus, "Velvet, why would you bring one of them here?"
Hearing the way they worded their sentence only confirmed it for Ben.
'Looks like humans and these guys don't get along very well.' the teen hero thought as he and Velvet turned to face the numerous people behind them.
Stepping towards them, Ben tried to reason with them, "It's pretty obvious that not many of you are happy with me being here... but I can assure you that I'm not going to cause trouble for any of you here. It's just not who I am."
However, his words fell deaf on their ears.
One of them snorted at this, "A human that doesn't cause trouble? You must believe we're idiots if we're not going to fall for such words."
Velvet tried to speak, but couldn't as her own timid nature prevented her from stepping in and helping to confirm that Ben wasn't here to do anything bad, or hopefully. The girl was about to stop step up until they spoke directly to the rabbit Faunus, "How did you find this human to begin with?"
The girl remained silent for a few moments as she tried to keep Ben's abilities a secret while making sure they understood that it was him who helped her, "I was being chased by a pack of Ursa Grimm that were in the area, and as I was running, I noticed they were picked off one by one. Soon I found my answer and when I found out that it was him," Velvet said as she gestured towards Ben, "Who fought off the Grimm and helped me."
Many of the Faunus around her didn't believe the story for themselves.
They were subjected to being discriminated by humans, and yet, there was a human right in front of them who helped one of their own. Such a though wasn't possible for many of them to come up with due to the strained relationship between the two races.
Ever since the war fought between the Faunus and humans for better rights, only to be subjected to worse treatment than before.
It was what made them hustle towards any human they've come across so far. Now, they have a human who was different from the usual mold. Chatter broke out among the numerous Faunus, trying to make sense of this whole situation.
"Is this true human? Do not lie, we do not tolerate those who lie to us." threatened one of the Faunus.
Ben tried to placate the group with a gesture, "She's telling the truth. I couldn't sit back and leave someone who needed help, the idea to just leave Velvet to her fate didn't sit right with me, leading to my decision to help her."
Many of them noticed how honest the boy sounded, but there was only one question that remained for them.
"How were you able to help her?" one of them asked.
That question made Ben laugh nervously, "Well... you, uh, see... that is rather a difficult to answer."
With the way the human reacted, they turned to see Velvet looked to be in a similar state. How difficult was it for them to answer a question about the abilities of the human right next to her, it's like what he could do was other-worldly, right?
Few Minutes Later
Just outside the Faunus village, there were numerous glowing crimson eyes, all of them looking at the village.
It was clear the the Grimm were finally ready to tear down the settlement and kill all those that live inside it. such a thing was natural, the Faunus or humans who lived outside the Kingdoms were more or less cattle, waiting to be butchered like fresh meat.
Soon, the glowing eyes of the Grimm started to dim.
The time was to attack was close, and the time to slaughter more was almost upon them.
"That is the end of the chapter who would like to read next?" Question the sole alien in the room before anyone could respond
"Wait, he is a sleep let's take this chance to end him and get out of here." whispered James who was moving slowly to him with his gun pointed at his head and just before he could pull the trigger DS got up and grab his head.
"YOU TRIED TO KILL ME FOR THAT I WILL PULL OUT YOUR SPINE AND FLUSS WITH IT AND WHEN I AM DONE I WILL NIT YOUR INTESTINES IN TO A SWEATER!" Sparta said in the most terrifying voice anyone has ever heard.
"please don't kill the General he didn't mean it he just wants to talk." Penny said after hiccuping for a full minute for lying with the biggest puppy dog eyes ever he didn't last a second.
"Fine but if he does it again he will see what killed the dinosaurs up close andy personal."
