End of Remnant, Episode 27: Shattered Status Quo [Part 1]
[Soul Silver Dimension]
It was a first that the Silver Spire would visitors, but Yuki retrieved everyone to get the ships before taking them to the Spire. It would be from Noire that Yuki learned the world of the place the Spire inhabited, the Soul Silver Dimension.
"I still am shocked that our leader is a literal god now." Ivory remarked. "And all this is his."
"If anything, we're in charge now. No more doing jobs for others, we are our own bosses now." Kelly remarked.
Yuki had them land the ships on a massive floating platform that took an appearance a small town ripped from a cyberpunk future. Yuki would basically explain what happened to everyone and reactions were mixed once they were all gathered in one of the buildings.
"An alternate version of you interfered?!" Ilia said shocked.
"Yeah, apparently using my…well our code name. He sent me this briefcase and I hadn't opened it yet." Yuki said. "I wanted to wait for my team to be here…and Chronoa."
"And myself!"
Noire showed up with Sazu and Cinder, who immediately moved on towards Gen to check on him. Chronoa was last to show up.
"That's how you truly look." Ivory said eyeing Chronoa. "You are thick in all the right places."
"Save the thirsting for later." She said before the guardians arrived.
"And the guardians are here. This motley crew are the guardians of the Spire, they now work for me." Yuki remarked.
"We took so long to get here because of your changes making things all cyber. Looks like nature and technology are spidering into each other. But I supposed introductions are needed. I am Braviar, the guardian of Fear and Bravery." Braviar said with a bow.
It surprised Yuki that Braviar was tall, pale, and lanky. Seven feet tall, his appearance given out a regal owlish look with his dark hair in a low ponytail and goatee. Like the other guardians, he had silver eyes. He wore a gi akin to Noire's old one, but the sash and boots were yellow all topped off with a futuristic long coat and glasses.
"I am Harbin, the guardian of hope." Harbin said.
He appeared as a tanned chibi in wearing a black jumpsuit with blue circuity lines on it, light blue boots, and a futuristic visor. His dark brown hair remained short and framing his head. Harbin perpetually remained floating.
"Collec, the guardian of avarice." Collen remarked.
If anything, he appeared exactly as a figure of avarice…but in a modern sense. Tall, in a fancy black suit with an orange tie and shoes, jewelry, an orange overcoat, pierced ears, and slicked back hair. To some, he looked a lot like Lex Luthor with hair. He flipped a gold coin repeatedly.
The twin guardians of compassion and love introduced themselves as Callista and Levline, the twins were bronze skinned redheads. Callista had a slender physique with curved hips and large breasts while Levline had a buxom and a very curvaceous hourglass figure, with large breasts and wide hips appearing statuesque tall compared to her twin sister.
Callistia wore a purple floral kimono with armor akin to Yuki's on the shoulders, sandals, and teacup sunglasses. Her hair was a simple low bun with fringe. Levline give all a classier appearance with a dark pink sequined strapless dress that reveals a lot of cleavage with a low back, sweetheart neckline, and high thigh slit. In addition, she wears dark red stilettos, elegant red fingerless arm sleeves, gold stud earrings, pink eyeshadow, a dark long coat with armor on the shoulders, and red lipstick. Her hair was long, luxurious, and over one of her eyes.
"I'm feeling the love tonight." Sulfur said staring.
"If this isn't the reaper man himself! I am Shiro, the guardian of Death." Shiro remarked.
He was equally as tall as Braviar looking with angled cheek and fitting raven hair that was spiky. His clothing choices were akin to Maria Calvera but all in black with a white skull mask.
"After all, Silver Eyed Warriors cloaked and calling themselves reaper that have the drive to deliver death got it from me." Shiro said.
"You should put more effect to preserve more life in this world." His twin said slapping the back off his head. "I am Hikari, the Guardian of Life and this idiot's twin sister."
She was his opposite despite having the same height, she wore a layered, white dress, along with numerous silver accessories in the form of a necklace, happuri, fibula, arm bands, arm brace, armored sleeve, and ornaments secured by belts. She wore gladiator sandals. Her hair was blonde and went down to her waist. While he was thin, she had a fuller figure and looked ready for war.
"Where's the new guardians?" He asked.
"About that. There was never one of Will, that usually would the manifestation of one's drive. As for Rage…" Hikari said before throwing the new guardian in the room.
The new guardian of Rage was a young-looking girl, standing barely under five feet and resembling an 8-year-old wolf faunus girl with dark skin. She wore a shin-length dress in different shades of red with thick brown boots. Her long black hair is also tied up in an off-centered ponytail using red hair ties.
"That's the guardian of Rage?" Salem said before laughing. "A child?"
"How's yours, you old bag?" She rudely said before spitting at the ground. "Last I heard they're dead."
"This is Ikaria." Hikari said with a sigh.
Salem wanted to throttle her, but Ozpin held her back.
"They are the guardians to Silver Eye Warriors, caretakers of the Spire, and…technically my…and our trainers." Yuki said.
"Then I want a fight." Gen said.
"Oh no, you don't. We have business to deal with." Chronoa said glaring down Gen. "Namely, returning our extended allies' home. At least those who have a home to go back to."
"Come again?" Misato asked.
"Some of your universes were badly damaged. And Griseo…"
"He and the bitch planted bombs on some universes or just destroyed others outright. The bombs were triggered for some of them got…badly fracturing them." Noire said finishing for her. "I foresaw this and swooped in to get you. From what I foresaw from my relic: the one with the Angels, the ninja world, the Miracle trinkets, the one with the ponies, the Saints's Earth, the Earth with the benders, and the Earth the Loud family inhabited along with a few other less important worlds are both fractured and dead in the wind. The one we were just on got pretty wrecked no part thanks to Griseo…"
"He's right, those worlds were too heavily damaged to be restored to their original form. Pieces from those worlds I was able to save but…" Chronoa remarked. "Most of you are universally homeless."
"Fuck!" Adriano spat.
"What about us?" Ben asked.
"Your universe is damaged, but your world got off far luckier than theirs." Chronoa said. "I'll need a day to fix it. As for those that who's worlds got out unscathed. I'll have portals to return you home formed right now."
"If it's all right with you, I don't I want to go back to my universe. Considering I committed a crime under a guy who threatened the multiverse, I'm pretty sure I'm going to qualify for the death penalty." Giganta said as those from her world looked equally pale. "So, I think I'll take my chances elsewhere."
Those with Alqadr opted to stay with him save for Motor Ed and Monkey Fist when they learned their universe was fine. Chronoa shrugged and formed portal to return those who could go home.
"So, I should probably let you all know that there was a side effect on your worlds, Turtles. They're all linked…meaning you should find natural forming portals…to each other's worlds." Chronoa said as there were groans from the 2k3 and 2k12 Turtles.
"We can have that April sleepover someday." '87 April said excitedly.
The four groups bid their goodbyes before leaving to their respective worlds. The 'Smashers', Kim and her villains, the Straw Hat Pirates, and others that could go back were all sent back to their worlds. As thanks, Chronoa had given the Straw Hats a special seal to allow them to swim if they had a Devil Fruit…they simply just could not use their powers in the water. She had also given the String-String Fruit citing it rightly belonged to their world. Of course, Chronoa make a portal to punt Wapol back home. With them returned, Yuki turned his attention to the case.
"Much as well open the case." Yuki said opening it.
In it was a white sphere, capsules, a notebook, and a smaller blue sphere which glowed to play an audio recording.
"Dear Other Me,
If you're reading this, you've succeeded in your goals. Griseo and Towa are dead along with the Brother Gods. Good riddance to them. If you need assure that you're speaking to your other self, when you were thirteen…you stole an Atlas Type 75 Tank that was in the process of being stolen by the White Fang. You murdered the Fang members who stole it and pinned the blame on Adam. You used the tank to murder one of Roman's rivals and blow up his house before hiding the tank from the authorities."
"What the hell, Azure?!" Winter scolded.
Johnny Gat whistled in appreciation.
"Why are you even complaining? You going to issue an arrest warrant?" Yuki asked.
"Don't bother. Statute of limitation expired plus I am risking my army to get back a tank can be replaced." Ironwood stated.
"Pretty impressive you managed to hide a tank." Sulfur remarked.
"Guys, shut up…we need to hear the rest." Noire said as the sphere went on.
"To make things easier on you, I am your mirror half. When one went down the road of an anti-hero, I and my team took another road. We succeeded in our goal, but my world was destroyed because of our Griseo and Towa. Their attempt led to plenty of deaths that shattered my world killing the Grimm King and the Voyd. I only found out recently he was my ancestor…but now you have the family you deserve. My gift to you is that white sphere has the means to create a whole new universe. It has the data already made, and you can use it to take pieces from damaged universes. Even take things from perfectly fine universes. The capsules are a piece of technology that's basically our perfected micro-cubes. I got the idea of an anime and managed to study the tech. You'll have everything you'll need to set it up the new universe, just hold the sphere and meditate. It's a pretty piece of tech there, I've laid the groundwork, you just need to make the addons. The notebook's got some advice. Don't forget to stick by your crew. Yuki Azure, out."
The blue sphere glowed again before turning into a snow globe with a chibi Yuki crossing his arms.
"The universe is yours now." Roman said chuckling. "My boy, you really have won."
Yuki took the sphere and telepathically looked through the data.
"Interesting, it's based off the concept of Earth with the groundwork for a new country using a layout from a few choice video games." Yuki said before opening one of the capsules.
"Oh, you got to be kidding me." Rita Loud said seeing what games were used.
"I'm going to take these and do some research. Alone." Yuki said putting it all together. "The rest of you can wait…but before I forget…I want to make an offer to you, Blade."
Blade raised an eyebrow.
"I want to make you my apprentice and take you in." Yuki remarked. "I've always wanted one that I wasn't forced to train. No offense, Ruby."
"I get it." Ruby said with a sigh.
"You have great potential and I want to bring it out to the forefront. Also give you a sense of a family seeing you're like me…" Yuki said.
"A walking shadow who hands are stained with blood." Blade said eerily.
"Plus, your semblance is quite alike to my own…in an eerie way. That needs to be monitored." Yuki remarked before thinking, 'I'm not sure if I can copy it…but with him out…I can further study this Omnitrix.'
"I'll do it under one condition. You don't get me alone, Shirin comes with." Blade said holding Shirin close to him. "We're a package set. Her, me, and Halona."
"Done. I'll even give Halona's family a very good reason to move to my new universe." Yuki said surprising everyone as he chuckled. "Because now I have the means to use my powers in the most terrifying way possible. I'm going into business!"
"Do we get stock?" Roman asked.
"Roman, I can't do business with you in my board of directors!" Yuki said excitedly.
"But he's a criminal!" Winter complained.
"So?" Yuki said.
"Yuki, my boy. Neo and I won't disappoint!" Roman remarked.
"Of course, I can't run XanTech without my team sharing the power with me." Yuki said. "And making sure my friends and loved ones are taken care of."
All those who were friends with Yuki had the grin of great relief.
"And there's so who want to work for me. I can assure you that you'll be decently paid." Yuki said as Mary threw Harley to the ground.
"What happened?" Harley asked, waking up.
"Griseo's dead and I own your ass now. Dr. Psycho sold you and Ivy out to save his own skin..." Yuki said as she went wide-eyed.
"Pfft, no man owns me." Harley said punching Yuki…which did nothing towards him.
Without moving, Armis came up on his face which got Harley to break her wrist.
"Did you really think that was going to work?" Yuki asked.
Harley kicked him between the legs breaking her right foot, and Yuki decided to return the favor. Everyone was cringing on the inside as they heard that crunch. Harley was on her knees holding her crotch.
"Speaking of people whose asses I own…Alcina, you got a problem being under my heel?" Yuki asked.
"Nope." Alcina wisely said.
"Ivy?" Yuki asked.
"Absolutely not, Lord Yuki." Poison Ivy asked.
"Ok, I'm going to go start planning out XanTech's business plan." Yuki said taking up his things. "Mary, I'll need your assistance on it. I need a secondary assistant for this."
"Of course, Yuki. You could also use a nice long massage after all that violence." Mary said with a sultry look. "I could give you a rubdown."
Yuki got his things.
"Can one of you guardians arrange a portal from this area to Crossroad Village back in Remnant?" Yuki asked.
"On it." Callista said going outside to do so.
"And Mary, I'll take up your offer. Considering all my goals were done, I can finally relax on a few things." Yuki said. "And where's Morgaine?"
"She's a bit exhausted. Passed out at the nearest bed." Mary explained. "Want me to wake her?"
"No, let her rest." Yuki remarked.
"You know you can stop teetering about with your love life." Levline said crossing her arms.
"However, this is still some business to deal with. Namely with the former mooks of Griseo…that are not with Alqadr. I can't just let you go without consequences." Yuki remarked. "Dr. Psycho, I promised to spare your life in exchange for those two. So as far as I am concerned, I'll spare you. Don't make me regret that."
"You won't. I'm sure Harley and Ivy will serve your needs well." Dr. Psycho insisted. "But I do want to know about your company…I could see myself useful to it."
"He'll sell you out like he did with me." Harley said holding her aching foot as Lapis lazily healed her.
"I betrayed you because you're an idiot. Yes, you took me in when no one else did, but fuck me, you keep screwing up every chance you had to get ahead." Dr. Psycho ranted. "I lost my home and my son because of you!"
"You're hired." Yuki remarked. "And as for the rest of you mooks, well…"
"If we want to join the Saints instead, can we do it?" A former Carnales gang member asked as he nodded.
"There is an option to join in the worship of Yuki. He and I are Gods after all." Noire said with a split grin. "Speaking of this, Yuki…you'll have to deal with the former Church of Salem."
"Noire, what the fuck did you do?!" Yuki snapped.
In came the remains of the Church of Salem, some clad in robes denoting loyalties to either him, Noire, or Chronoa. It sank for those of Remnant that for all intents and purposes: Yuki, Noire, and Chronoa were now Remnant's New Gods.
"I also made the effect to use my staff which I can control much better now…to broadcast us killing the Brother Gods to the people of Remnant." Noire said as Yuki sputtered.
"What were you thinking?!" Cael shouted. "Think of the consequences?! Remnant is probably going through a crisis!"
Noire simply laughed in Cael's face which pissed off the leader of CASL to no end.
The leader of Yuki's new worshipers rose while the rest of them remain bowed. She was a fairly short and lithe girl with dark skin. Her body was pear shaped with small breasts. The thing that got Yuki's attention was her eyes, which were heterochromatic…with red on the left and blue on the right giving an eerie glow. Her hair was dyed cyan with some black and white striped extensions, her black eyebrows were partly shaved, and she had several piercings: one at the top of her bridge and one in the middle, and a labret piercing. Unlike the rest, she wore different clothing to signify her leadership.
She wore a very long, short-sleeved ice blue colored robe that obscures her shoes and partially drags across the ground, with its distinctive feature being a curved high collar with a silver trim bordering the outer edge of a silver circuitry pattern. There was a white sash with a light blue crystal on the side of it. She wore silver accessories: armbands, a necklace, and armored shoulders. She wore a cape that sported a familiar symbol.
"Oh, great Slayer God, I humbly apologize for these fools and their continued worship of the false Goddess for I had heeded that the way to the new dawn was through silver. I am Zoey, a humble servant seeking to lead your followers. For since the day of my awakening, I have seen hints and pieces of the future that foresaw this all to come. A forsaken male within the twilight with silver eyes sharpened by the Voyden to lead an army of new warriors to do what the false Goddess failed to do to lead us to a bright future along the Goddess of Time and the new God of the Voyd!" Zoey said dramatically. "All my dreams, fleeting moments have foretold of this! You fulfilled the prophecies!"
Yuki was both confused and amused as the rest of the 'followers' all looked terrified of her and him.
"We apologies for the direct, oh mighty Slayer." One of the kneeling ones said fearfully. "We all thought she was crazy! But then it all started adding up. She stated you would come into the world from the Time Goddess's hands, was screaming about the Silver Spire, and kept craving that symbol on her walls and her cape."
Several people who could were reading her mind and were shocked to find she…did saw it all coming. No one believed her because she was already fruity.
"I bring you the Azure Acolytes." Zoey said humbly. "Eager to serve the Silver Eye Warriors anyway we can, but I am your personal humble servant to dish out your will as you command."
"So that makes Ruby a saint?" Mary asked raising an eyebrow.
"All Silver Eyed Warriors are recognized as Saint Slayers of the Slayer God. His army to lead." Zoey said. "And for us to care for."
"I need to process this." Yuki said blankly.
Chronoa was happy to have followers. After being disrespected and treated like dirt for so long, she was finally getting the respect she deserved.
"Guardians, show our guests to our guest wing for them to say at. Team…can you look after Blade for a bit? I need get to working on this sphere…and deal with Zoey." Yuki said getting the case together. "I've going to need to be mostly alone. Obviously, we'll deal business once I study this a bit more. Mary, let's get going."
A door appeared on the wall to which it opened to show a way to his lab. As he left with the two, Noire turned to the homeless lot.
"I wouldn't worry much about your lost home, knowing Yuki, he'll have a solution." Noire remarked.
"I guess we are going to go back to Remnant. No doubt to calm the public down." Ozpin said trying not laugh with Salem and Glynda.
Ironwood and his army did the same.
"Before you go, Isis, I wish to reward you for your dedication. Thus, I bestow onto you a drastic slowing of age for youthful longevity." Chronoa said bestowing her gift upon Isis.
"And they called me crazy." Isis said before leaving for the portal. "Team CASL, I'm going to need your assistance with Vacuo."
"I have a message from the boss himself." Braviar said adjusting the headset that materialized on his head. "To the maidens, stick around or close by. Same for CASL. That is all."
(A/N: It's time to soon say goodbye to this series, and I'm getting emotional over marathon writing this thing. The reveal of the guardians and all the new things to come.)
(A/N (Update 4/25/2022) This chapter and the rest going forward are probably going to have the most rewritten as I need to deal with Morgaine Le Fay. I do have a plan on resolving her though. At least the spelling in this one wasn't terrible.)
