GKC: What's up, everyone! This is GKC here bringing you a special version of Remnant's Climax Heroes! If you are familiar with the old Marvel animation movie, Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow, then you'll understand exactly what the meaning of this story will be.
SR: A bit on the nose but I think everyone has an idea right?
GKC: Hm, maybe a brief summary will clear that up. Set in an alternate future, Atlas has built a new humanoid robot with a hyper-evolved artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, the robot decides to eradicate all organic life on the planet of Remnant. In retaliation, the Aura Kamen Riders along with Teams RWBY and JNPR united together to combat the robot only to fail. However, before they fell to their enemy, their children were sent away to a secure location with a trusted ally in order to grow up to become the next generation of heroes against this mechanical menace.
SR: I see. Well as always, you guys know the drill so sit back and enjoy the show!
GKC: And be sure to keep yourselves locked in your seats because this one… will be the biggest yet!
Chapter 1: Storytime
[Undisclosed Location]
A soft coo emanates from a very young baby boy with golden blonde hair and silver eyes as he reached out to grasp the baby shapes that hung over his crib. A set of firm yet gentle hands picked up the infant and brought him close against a masculine figure's chest.
"Can we hear the story again! Please?" The voice of a young boy, who looked to be around six or seven years old with raven black hair and lilac eyes pleaded as he hugged a younger girl with snow white hair and brown eyes.
"More! Tell us the story more! Please?" The voice of a girl, who appeared to be the same age as the other children, asked. The girl in question had brown hair with a pair of wolf ears on her head and grey eyes.
"Yeah! We wanna hear more!" Another boy with bright red hair and blue eyes nodded in agreement.
"Come on, Uncle!" A child with auburn-colored hair and reptilian green eyes pleaded.
"More storytime!" A pair of twins, a boy and a girl, added. The boy had orange hair with pink eyes while the girl possessed black hair with magenta highlights and light blue eyes.
"We promise we'll go to bed!" A girl with black hair that had a pair of cat ears on top of her head along with crimson red eyes promised.
The man who held the infant chuckled, looking at the kids in pajamas as he patted the baby's back, "Alright, alright. But one more story then it's off to bed." The man cleared his throat as all eight children that were attentive listened while the baby cooed innocently.
"And there came a day unlike any other…" The man began with a hint of fondness in his tone. "When twelve mighty heroes came together to defend Remnant and the people who reside in it. Each of these heroes were strong on their own but together… they were unbeatable." He closed his eyes as he remembered each face of those twelves heroes, or rather, twelve friends. "The Warrior. The Samurai. The Guardian. The Musician. The Reaper. The Sorceress. The Panther. The Dragon. The Knight. The Spartan. The Valkyrie. And the Ninja." Silhouettes of each individual filled his mind as he continued his tale.
The Warrior resembled an armored individual with glowing yellow eyes.
The Samurai was another armored individual with glowing blue eyes while wielding a Far Eastern sword.
The Guardian looked to be a massive warrior with a bear-like helmet with a glowing green visor.
The Musician seemed to be a winged individual with a scarf and glowing orange eyes.
The Reaper was a feminine figure who wielded a large scythe and wore a red hooded cloak.
The Sorceress seemed to be an elegant young woman with a rapier while a glowing white glyph appeared behind her.
The Panther was another woman with cat ears and wielded two different weapons, a katana and a cleaver.
The Dragon was a woman that seemed to burn brightly like her golden mane of hair.
The Knight seemed to be the epitome of leadership with his kite shield revealed for all to see.
The Spartan is a woman with the deposition of a warrior but with a certain kindness in her green eyes.
The Valkyrie seemed to be a rather spontaneous yet protective woman while wielding a mighty warhammer that surged with lightning.
The Ninja had a quiet appearance but his green garb and twin pistols proved he was an excellent warrior.
"On that day, the Hunters of Justice were born! To fight foes that no single hero could ever contend with." As he spoke, he remembered the dark foes that sought to tear Remnant apart. A legion of monsters with soulless eyes of crimson, and dark figures each with their own vile agendas. "Great creatures of darkness. Evil organizations that sought world domination. Vile conquerors who have destroyed countless realities. The Hunters vanquished them all!" Each iteration of a monster battled a few of the heroes while dark beings fought the armored avengers with untamed ferocity. "And finally, when the world was at peace, the Hunters built lives of their own…"
An image of the Warrior, Panther, and Dragon are shown together, watching a setting sun. "The Warrior, Panther, and Dragon fell in love…"
Another image detailing the Samurai and Sorceress sharing a loving hug, "As did the Samurai and the Sorceress."
The Musician is shown holding the hand of a young woman. "The Musician found his bride."
The Guardian and Reaper resting against a tree holding hands, "The Guardian and the Reaper became soulmates."
The Knight and Spartan are shown sharing a kiss, "The Knight and the Spartan embraced their true feelings for each other."
The Ninja and the Valkyrie are revealed to be sharing a loving hug under a cherry blossom tree, "And the Ninja and Valkyrie married."
"And one by one, the children of the Hunters came to be…" The man continued the tale with great fondness. "Children who would one day become a new generation of heroes." The storyteller's tone turned grim, "But in time, evil returned… An evil named… Absolon." A silhouette of a robotic figure appeared with a closeup of a pair of malevolent optics that burned like hot coals. "Absolon wanted nothing less than total dominion over the world. But the Hunters stood in its way. Sadly, their defeat was inevitable." Images of the Hunters' battle against Absolon are revealed. Absolon's powers proved to surpass the Hunters.
The Warrior put up a valiant fight but was knocked away easily.
The Samurai and the Panther tried to cut down the automaton but were soundly destroyed.
The Guardian was broken in two before Absolon's might.
The Musician fell before the machine next.
The Reaper fought with all she had but even she was unable to win.
The Sorceress perished in a consuming blast of fire.
The Dragon crumbled in defeat as Absolon ended her life.
The Knight and the Spartan were gone, all that remained were their broken shields.
The Ninja and the Valkyrie were blasted into oblivion, not a trace of their existence remained.
Absolon held the broken body of the Warrior in its grip, standing triumphantly over its fallen foes. However, the machine overlord had failed to realize that the Hunters' had enacted their last plan. An airship that carried their children flew away from the remains of the battlefield that tore up an entire kingdom.
"But before they fell, the Hunters hid their children in a faraway place. Safe from Absolon's grasp where they would grow up safe," The storyteller continued. "Because the Hunters knew that as long as the children were alive… hope continued." He smiled as each one of the children had fallen asleep, including the baby in his arms, which he settled back into his crib. "Hope for a brighter future."
The storyteller watched the snoozing children for a few seconds before he turned off the lights and quietly closed the door to their bedroom, letting them rest for the night. As they dreamed, the light of the broken moon shone upon them.
