残り:四の影/ Remnant's Four Shadows

End of Remnant, Episode 14: Coming Under a Common Cause


Yuki found it awkward that the next guardian just wanted to talk to him, as Yuki expected a fight.

"A fight would not determine how much hope you give to the people around you, now would it?" The guardian remarked.

"But a conversation would?" Yuki asked.

"No, but probing your mind would. I am seeing a bit of difficulty in doing that." The guardian remarked.

"Maybe ask permission? I don't take to telepaths poking my mind without me asking." Yuki touted.

"Feisty. May you let me in then?" The guardian said as Yuki complied.

"Interesting. Everything in your past mars one of tragedy and pain….a terror hero, but a harbinger of hope. Yes, but what surprises me is…Noire." The guardian said before looking mirthful. "He alone is riding everything on you…ever since he realized you're the one who can grant him his deepest desire."

"A grand fight?" Yuki snarked.

"No. Freedom from his curse." The hopeful guardian remarked. "His story hide tragedy, a lot like yours. He was not always the Grimm King, not completely by his choice. The brother Gods feared him because of his brother and cursed him…along with his bloodline. It is why despite as long he and Sayah have lived…they have no children even if they both desire it."

Yuki was as a loss for words. His perception of the Grimm King was changing surely…it was almost eerie how more alike they were sounding. The way up had shown itself as the guardian bid him farewell before vanishing.

It was a solemn walk up feeling the weight of all of what he was fighting for…and who was counting on him.

[In Space]

An armada of ships were flying through space: the Absolution and several other ships…along with a few giant robots.

"I'm flying through space!" Peach said excitedly. "So much wonder and mystery!"

The Remnant bunch and a few others were flying on a ship that Noire had…'acquired' which he called 'Silvanus'. Ironwood was begrudgingly piloting it as Noire was chatting it up. Much to the general's ire, Noire managed to get some of the recruited people to join him straight up. Some villains who were seeking greener pastures.

"So, we've been to worlds with superheroes, sentient gemstones, mecha pilots, pirates, soldiers, martial artists, gangbangers, super spies, mages, mutants, mutant turtles…aliens, monsters, people who bend the freaking elements, and…can we just say our world feels more normal then theirs?" Salem said.

"Eh. We visited a completely mundane world." Ruby said cleaning her weapon. "Why did even visit and told along the kid and his gaggle of sisters?"

"Because their world had dragons, and Lincoln's a dragon tamer…." Noire said as his staff glowed. "Ok, I've got a hit on the next world to visit. One with ninjas…"

"Oh no, not that one. It's as annoying as Remnant is!" Chronoa groaned. "The brothers just love violating that world for kicks. Fuckin' Elemental Nations."

"Lan-"

"Shut up!" Chronoa snapped. "I need a drink."

She walked up to the minibar.

"Holy crap, we're going to meet Naruto!" Lincoln said giddy. "This day can't any better!"

On another ship, four sets of mutant turtles were having an awkward moment. The '87 Turtles had meet both 2k3 and 2k12 Turtles, but not the new Rise Turtles.

"Wait, you're the ones who came after us." Raphael (2k3) said pointing to the 2k12. "And then those guys after you."

"Apparently." Donatello (2k12) said with a shrug.

"And somehow we're all in the fight for our lives because someone decided why not recruit any bad guy and scum bag across the multiverse to take it over." April (2k3) said remarked. "I never thought I'd meet another me…well…three other mes."

"Yellow jumpsuit." Donatello (2k12) said under his breath as he eyed April ('87).

Casey (2k12) was eyeing her as well leaving both to get smacked by their April.

"So, I have a chick counterpart…" Casey (2k3) said as Cassandra shrugged.

"Not that it matters, I'm cool no matter the gender." Cassandra said confidently.

The Splinters were taking it…okay. Though the 2k12 Splinter had to be revived to which Noire did making him a Voyden mutant. That alone was what got the 2k12 Turtles to agree to join in.

"Ok, all of you are Hamato Yoshi…." Splinter (2k3) said. "Except for me. Why do I have a feeling this is a deviation of how it's supposed to be?"

"Well, I was dead…and now I'm some kind of creature of the night. So…deviation is right?" Splinter (2k12) said.

"So, you had a kid? And child is Karai, but Karai in my universe is my ancestor? Do we even want to get into how that works?" Splinter (Rise) asked.

"Nah. I think it's better we-"

"Wait, where's my counterparts?" Karai (2k12) asked. "I'm the only one here."

"I was going to ask about that…and why the Foot are here with us." Raphael (2k3) asked looking to the 2k12 Turtles.

"We're sort of allies." Michelangelo (2k12) said.

That got them looks.

"We can explain!" Michelangelo (2k12) remarked. "I mean Leo can explain!"


(A/N: A bit of context to how many villains that Griseo managed to get on his side, and Salem hinting who's joined the heroes. You'd think this would make Griseo a massive threat. You'd be right, but it will also expose the biggest problem with gathering this many in one team…and expecting them to work together. Next up, we go back to the villains now that we know a bit of who's involved.)
