残り:四の影/ Remnant's Four Shadows

Volume 1, Prologue: Entry Point to Madness


"Ok, what the hell did I just watch? Some poorly made reality show?!" Yuki said exasperated.

All Yuki Azure wanted to do was bemoan the fact that his team was rejected from Haven Academy thanks to that prick Lionheart. Ivory discovered he had used their paperwork as overlay to allow three other students into Haven. The rest of the team had called Lionheart out on this only to be blacklisted and tossed. Yuki could remember the ashen-haired woman laughing at them telling them they would be never be huntsmen. They would remember Cinder Fall's words and it haunted them as they traveled to the Wilds merely slaughtering Grimm left and right. But it would come to a head that night as they were taken up in beams of light. They would awaken in a room that seemed like a movie theater and the big screen in front of them. They were put to sit through the trailers, two volumes of another's story with bits and pieces of backstories for others involved leading to what Yuki asked in the first place. Yuki was drinking it in with his semblance reading it all.

"I can explain." A female said.

A short and petite woman with a youthful and pretty appearance having pinkish-red hair draped down to her back and pink/purple skin. She wore a pair of Potara earrings, baggy red pants, a dark grey Supreme Kai vest with red trimming slightly opened up to reveal a slim grey collared tank top, a pale red sash folded over her abdomen, a pair of high heeled boots, and a pair of bracers on her hands.

"Yuki Azure, Kelly Usagi, Lapis Kristal, and Ivory Viridian. I've brought you here because it's clearly obvious that the destined four are woefully underprepared for the challenge. I only showed you the first parts, it gets worse. This is where you four come in as you four are….not so innocent and less privy to be manipulated by Ozpin or Salem." Chronoa explained.

"Add to the fact, that Ozpin is clearly stunting Ruby's potential by not explaining her silver eyes at well." Yuki muttered.

"I can't believe they let in a murderer into Beacon." Kelly muttered with disgust.

"To be fair, Yuki and I have killed plenty. Mostly White Fang members…." Lapis said flatly.

"Yes, but you've only killed criminals, rapist, and pedos. Blake has blood of innocents." Kelly pointed out.

"Plus, she had a hand in your village's demise. I know that you, Yuki, have been seeking out the heads for the White Fang at the time. I can't do into details, but I can say she was involved on that day." Chronoa said sympathetically. "You'll get to go to her for details."

"I see she was Adam's right hand….and that's enough to warrant me wringing her for answers." Yuki said as Ivory supported him with a hand on his shoulder. "So where do we come in?"

"Simple, I'll splice you four, your histories, any enemies you made that aren't apart of "canon", and kill counts into a fresh timeline. I couldn't give your old timeline because Ozpin and Salem screwed it up too bad. Had I not recused you, you'd be destroyed." Chronoa mused.

"Ok, then, but when are we going to be dropped into the story?" Kelly asked.

"That will be up to you to decide. Originally, I planned to drop you in the heat of Volume 3, but I realized that's not needed as Yuki knows about the maidens, relics, and Salem already. Normally, you weren't supposed to meet Cinder and her goons early, but I got lucky. If I dropped you further, I'd have to show you more when would be pointless considering you won't be able to stop past issues. Thus, you have options. Either, you are dropped at the start of Volume 2 before the Breach, during it, or after it. Your choice." Chronoa explained.

"What about our allies and the future events you did not show us?" Yuki asked.

"Once they see you, it'll trigger the splice effect in full. They'll be slowly remembering you but seeing you will fully bring it to a head. As for the future events, you four will be getting flashes of the future "canon" timeline. They'll trigger at random depending on who you meet, and it will be in short bursts. It'd be up to her to handle them." Chronoa remarked.

"Let me guess, you're being cryptic because of the rules." Lapis said glaring at her.

"Hey, I have to put up with the Brother Gods who gladly love watching Ozpin and Salem fight and fuck each other!" Chronoa said exasperated. "This was the only way, I could circumvent them."

"Well, Team YUKI will accept your task." Yuki said with a bow.

"One last thing before you decide, whenever you enter the timeline, to everyone else, you would be just returning to Vale from Mistral. In this fresh timeline, you were in Anima taking care of some of your old enemies." Chronoa said. "So, when will you entering the timeline?"

Yuki and his teammates thought about it before making a decision that change everything. They settled for the start of "Volume 2".

"Ok, you four have exactly 15 days before the events of that Volume begins." Chronoa said forming the portal in the center of the room. "It's as far back as I could send you."

"Wait, how are we even going to get into Beacon?!" Kelly asked. "We've been blacklisted."

Chronoa handed Yuki a manila folder with an evil look on her face.

"This timeline I'm sending you has a few things I took advantage of. In this, blackmail. Lots of it. Seems Ozpin and Salem have "come" together if you catch my drift." Chronoa said as Yuki leafed through it. "I also had enough dirt on Lionheart if you want to get him back as well."

"So, these two idiots can't kill each other, but they can fuck each other in multiple positions. Well, I'm repulsed, aroused, and enraged at the same time." Ivory said glancing over.

Yuki shoved the folder into his bag knowing full well he was playing with fire. Of course, he and his team were already risking life and limb for people who do not deserve it.

"Before you go, I have one last thing to give you. These." Chronoa said presenting three DVDs.

The first and second ones had casing themed after RWBY with volume 1 and volume 2 labeled on them. Chronoa explained this was in case they needed to re-watch something, and third disc held their own trailers.

"Our own "trailers"? Trippy." Lapis said as Yuki shoved those into his bag. "But why us? We're not exactly traditional heroes."

"Trust me, the last thing Remnant needs is another Ruby or Ozpin." Chronoa remarked. "If anything, you're going to be a breath of fresh air. Now go….and face your destiny."

Team YUKI faced the portal with looks of anticipation and walked right on through. As the portal took them, Chronoa shifted the theater seats into her bedroom before leaning back on her bed. She got herself in comfy clothes and got a big bucket of popcorn. She turned to the direction of the potential observers and reviewers.

"Prepare yourselves…for a tale that is going to quite different than most other. One of pain, one of suffering, and one of raw cynicism. This is the story of Renmant's Four Shadows." Chronoa said as the theater came to life playing the opening theme.


(A/N: I purposefully did not set an opening or an ending theme for this chapter as it was all for the build-up. I did find a song fitting for the start of this show and for the end. I have an odd taste in tunes, and I want to use that to my full advantage here. So, without further ado, here's to Remnant's Four Shadows!)
