[Dragon Ball Kai OST – At the End of the Fight]
残り:四の影/ Remnant's Four Shadows
End of Remnant, Episode 29: Shattered Status Quo [Finale]
[Patch]
Ruby and Yang were finally able to go home. Blake had returned to Menagerie to see her parents, as did Weiss and Winter.
"Oh Saint Ruby, we humbly bring you and your mother an offering." An Azure Acolyte said with a covered bowl.
Yuki was not the only one dealing with the awkward of the worshipers. Zoey had essentially established all Silver Eyed Warriors to be regarded as Saints. Thus, said warriors found themselves being given praise and respect with a bit of worship. Ruby and Summer were weirded out that two of them had arrived to deliver an offering to them.
"Please, I insist. The offering is not…" Summer said before the tin was opened to reveal cookies. "Huh?"
"Hand-made, the finest cookies. Various types as well made with the finest ingredients." The Aycolote said as the offering for Summer was shown to be wine. "For you, Atlas Cardon Bleu Wine. Aged."
Ruby was not for being praised, but she was not going to pass more an offering. She was eating the cookies.
"Thank you!" Ruby said stuffing her face.
"Of course, little Saint. It was our solemn duty." The two said before bowing and leaving. "May the silver shine on brightest day."
"I swear that's going to take time to get used to." Yang said taking a cookie for herself.
"Doesn't matter, I have my family back together and it's much bigger given I've taken in Vernal." Taiyang said mirthfully.
"But where is Raven?" Qrow asked as Vernal shrugged.
"She said something about before on her own for a bit. Needing some time to mull some things over." Vernal said as Ruby and Yang's scrolls buzz.
"Yuki's calling a meeting." Ruby said before getting up.
She took out a necklace with a silver crystal given to her by the Guardians. It was actually light dust enhanced with aura from a Silver Eyed Warrior allowing for it to be used to make portals to the Silver Spire and back. The Guardians had given this to all the silver ones save for Yuki, who did not need it to come and go as he pleased.
Ruby used the crystal to 'make' a circle on the wall which formed a bright silver portal. She and Yang went ahead in as it closed behind them. Summer was tempted to follow, but considering Yuki was a God and was functionally in control of the Soul Silver Dimension…had her decided not to do that.

[Soul Silver Dimension]
Yuki did have to pick several people himself, but the meeting room was set up in an area quite similar to Chronoa's meeting room in design. For the meeting, Yuki had his team, RWBY, JPNR, Roman, Neo, Peach, the Malachite Twins, Hei Xiong, the Maidens, Adam, Ilia, Niko, Lazuli, Maria, Sienna Khan, Ghira, Kali, Ironwood, Winter, Ozpin, Salem, Glynda, CASL, Shampoo, Cologne, Zoey, Blade, and Mary there and around the grand table.
"Welcome, all of you. I called you all to discuss a matter on the sphere. Namely, it's development. Once it's completely, the world we know as Remnant will be overwritten. Everything is going to change…and the four kingdoms…are going to be one." Yuki said elicting shock of most of them. "The new world isn't going to be just what remains of Remnant, the pieces of other universes will help to form an amalgamation. We, and the people of Remnant, will be a fraction of the rest of the new world's population."
"So, this country of yours?" Salem asked.
"Oh, it brings me such joy to hear you say that because it pretty much is." Yuki said dimming the lights to show a holographic projection. "I introduce the New States of Remnant, made from the layout my alternate self had given me. The layout and city structure are inspired by another country to which we will be adopting its currency. Don't worry, the sphere's rewrite will handle that complication with a generalization of how the government will work. Speaking of government, I have packets to cover that."
Serena passed out packets for them to read to which they leafed over.
"So, you're picking the first president and vice-president but everyone to come after will be elected. And the term is only five years." Ironwood said looking through it. "Who are picking to do it?"
"Ozpin and Glynda." Yuki said flatly. "My reason is for this is Ozpin can start being able to fully use with wealth of experience of running countries and kingdoms for good use. Glynda will be keep him in check."
Ozpin had a feeling this was payback from Yuki of some sort. Considering, by all means, Yuki would have the president under his heel.
"And the military?" Ironwood asked.
"I will be wholesale transferring Menagerie, Patch, and Atlas which will be apart of the USR. Ironwood, you be leading our military forces. I will give you the means for space travel and expanding our army. Just one thing, you'll have to deal with Cologne as a second-in-command to aid in training the army." Yuki said as Ironwood was a bit excited.
Space did interest him.
"And as for the Grimm, they sadly will exist in the new universe. I had to put up with this because of Noire and his Voyden. Thankfully, the regular Grimm will be exiled to a set of islands in the USR, the Remainder Islands. Thanks to XanTech technology, they're stuck there to be studied and exterminated at my leisure." Yuki said. "So, all the Grimm on Menagerie, Patch, and Altas will be banished there. Any questions? Ok, the last thing on that is what I will do with the Maidens."
"That is a good question, I was going to ask about that." Cael said sternly.
"Obviously, the best thing to do is keep them around as defenders if in the case of a crisis. War Maiden Defense Force. I have a base lined for their operations in the Old State of San Andreas. Area 69, Bone County." Yuki said showing it on his projections. "A military force will be there to defend the base, check on the health of the maidens, and supply training equipment. Now, they don't have to stay on base unless it's an emergency. Other than that, living there is optional. All I would want is for them to come for weekly or monthly checkups. This system is set up to keep things in check. Any issues?"
"Do we get paid for this?" Fria asked.
"Of course, you're getting paid. Even if you're just spending your time coming in for a checkup and time for training. The point to you three being around is a deterrent to major threats."
"Yuki, you really planned this out. Even if in the case we need to pass on our powers…" Amber said looking through the end of the packet. "I'm glad you put the effort."
"Yes, now with that dealt with. For some of you, it's time to leave. I have a business meeting about XanTech that's for employees and investors only." Yuki said as portals were formed. "Cael, I want to leave you and your team with the offer for working for my company when this is all said and done."
"Thank you, but I'll need to think about it." Cael said as he and his team got up.
"There is one more caveat I should reveal before you go. Once the sphere activates, the people of Remnant will auto-adjust to a world where the Grimm aren't a constant problem. They'll have new memories of the sort. It's complicated…just be prepped to find you own a house somewhere or something." Yuki said before bidding goodbye.
Team CASL, Ozpin, Glynda, Salem, Ironwood, Winter, and Cologne took their leaves.
"With all this changes, you're still going to keep training me, right?" Ruby asked.
"Of course, I don't leave things unfinished." Yuki said. "I'll catch up with you later."
"I'll get back to you on whether the SDC wants to join forces. I need to talk my mother about that." Weiss said as she and Blake left through a portal.
"Later, blue boy." Yang said before leaving through the portal as well.
"I'm staying." Nora remarked. "I want to get in on this. Yuki could get me a pancake shop!"
"…I mean he could." Lapis pointed.
"I'm staying so Nora doesn't do anything rash." Ren said as Pyrrha walked to a portal only to change her mind.
"Let's get down to business. First, I want to name positions: My fellow CEOs first. Obviously, my teammates. I could never run this without you. It was the same for my alternate self. As for my board of directors: Roman, Neo, Junior, Shampoo. Peach, I'll give you a big fund for your research under my company…to which Niko will assist you. Adam and Ilia, I want you lead my security forces. All for agreeable salaries." Yuki said before revealing them. "Helps that all those universes with assets are now mine to use."
"Yuki, you brilliant bastard! I raised you so well!" Roman said tears in his face. "I'll get the gang set up for the transition to a company job."
"I'm down. Saved me the effort of looking for a job." Niko said eagerly.
"So, about my pancake shop idea?" Nora asked. "What do I to give for it?"
"I'll give you a pancake place to run." Yuki said eyeing Nora sternly. "But I expect to be paid a piece of the profits and for you to actually run the damn place."
"I will! Me and Ren will run it together, it'll be a family business." Nora said before holding tighter.
"Family business?!" Ren asked.
"When I saw Lapis ask Jaune to marry her, I figured why am I waiting for you to ask when I can ask you to do it to me." Nora said starry-eyed.
Ren could only stammer as Pyrrha looked absolutely wrecked on the inside, but Ivory was reveling in it.
"Ok, you just need to pick a state to have your pancake place in." Yuki said showing her the map again.
Ren spoke up feeling taking charge and stating he wanted to pick the state, and Nora ceded to it as long as she could pick the neighborhood. With the place picked, Serena had the information stored along with a contract produced to sign.
"Speaking of which, what are you do about the refugees?" Ilia asked.
"They'll be dealt with. I actually should be confronting them now." Yuki said getting up. "And Mary, I wanted to leave you for last to tell you that I want you to be my personal assistant. Serena is serving as my right hand, and I believe I need a separate person to be my PA and secretary."
"Oh, going to bend me over your desk?" Mary teased.
"Maybe." Yuki said surprising his team before he turned to Zoey. "As for you, Zoey. I will grant you and the followers a place of worship."
Zoey looked starry eyed over it.
"I have the location set and everything. I even made your suggestion of Silver Day, a national holiday on the USR." Yuki said pointing a portal for her. "Go and announce this to my followers."
Zoey was gone and Yuki took a sigh of relief. He had given her and the worshipers a place in an area where he could at least keep an eye on them and revealed as much.
"I figured. It's damn weird having people worship the ground you walk." Maria said with a sigh. "But I do want to ask for something. I do want to invest in your company, but I don't want to a job working for your company. I want to spend my time exploring and traveling for a time. I'm overdue a nice long vacation."
"I'll keep that in mind." Yuki said before making portals for them to return to Remnant. "I'll be seeing you all soon. Mary, Blade, I need you with me."
As everyone else left and Serena returning to his mindscape, he, Blade, and Mary left the room to go see the 'refugees', Blade's friends, and Halona's family. He found 'Team Avatar' passed out drunk on the floor.
"What happened to them?" Yuki asked.
"They wanted to drink to numb the pain." Shaundi said as Yuki rolled his eyes. "And we had some booze to share."
"Lightweights." Misato said sipping her beer.
The former pilots just rolled their eyes as Yuki sighed.
"Excuse me, you must be Mr. Azure?"
Yuki turned to see Halona's family. The one who address was her mother, a rather tall woman in her early to mid-thirties with a slight tanned skin tone, blue eyes, long black hair in a ponytail, and pink lipstick. She wore a white, light blue, and dark blue futuristic body suit complimented by shin guards and boots. She had a rifle on her back and give off the aura of someone who seen combat. Her fit figure helped with that.
Halona's father was the same, equally as tall in the same age range with pale skin with youthful freckles. He had gray eyes and brown short spiky hair. He wore red futuristic armor with a dark cloak and carried an advanced looking mace.
The younger one who had to Halona's brother was a lot shorter with skin and freckles like his father. Innocent blue eyes lay under his glasses. Brown overalls and boots accented overalls and…the pot he wore on his hat like a hat marked with 13.
"We're Halona's family. The Luckless. I'm Fortune, my husband Clove, and my son…Timothy." Fortune said shaking Yuki's hand. "We're grateful for the opportunity you've offered us. And I can't thank you enough for taking Blade in. He needs someone to look out for it. Shirin was easy to accept our offer to be a part of us, but Blade was always resistant to it."
"Charmed. I literally had a business meeting earlier. I should have invited you…but I was pretty busy the last four days." Yuki said sheepish. "I need to attend to the refugees. I know you're doing all right in the Silver Spire."
"We are. It's so cool to in the palace of a god!" Timothy said excitedly.
It was a warm look he had before moving onto to Adrien, Tikki, Plagg, Shinji, Asuka, Rei, and Marinette who were playing cards with a few of the Saints. The Mane Six, Spike, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna were entertaining the younger lot of the Loud children. The others were doing their own thing.
"Royal flush." Tikki said as everyone groaned.
"Cheating ass imp." Pierce growled before noticing Yuki.
He cleared his throat announcing that the 'Silver G' was here, and they all looked to Yuki.
"Sorry about the delay, it's been four days, and I was busy working on crafting a whole new universe." He explained. "Look, I got good and bad news. But to do this, I'm going to go in a bit of an order. Best case to worst case…starting with the Saints."
"Can our home be restored because I could use more pot?" Shaundi asked.
"Yes and no. I'm making a whole new universe. I was able to import pieces of your universe to the new Earth. All of Stilwater." Yuki said getting cheers from the Saints. "But I have two small terms."
"Depends." Adriano said eyeing him down.
"Ultor. I'm taking it over…for my company, XanTech. Basically, the Stilwater branch will be legit as possible. I'll even want your gang for security for a sizeable salary if you want. But basically, I stay out your way and you stay out of mine." Yuki said eyeing him back.
"I'll pass on the security thing, but everything else is fine." Adriano said shaking his hand.
"As for the rest of you not on the Saints but from their world, congratulations on being drafted into the XanTech security branch for Stilwater. Some of you at least." Yuki said with a grin.
"We don't have a choice do we…" One of them said as Mary laughed at him. "Well…we're getting paid, right?"
"A livable wage." Yuki said as the new mooks groaned.
Next, he turned to the Miracle Duo.
"Same deal as the Saints, your world will be merged to the new one. Your family, friends, and so on will restored. Aside from your parents, Chloe, and Ayla…everyone else will think the new world was the one they're always living on. Oh…and Gabriel and Natalie won't be revived as they died off-universe. Adrien, I will take over your dad's business…but I won't leave you out of house and home…so I decided to adopt you." Yuki said as Adrien was just surprised by this. "I know it's awkward, but…I did glance at your life…and I have people who can sympathize with you. I couldn't just leave you hanging."
"I'm touched...not like I have many options. But what about my aunt and my cousin. Pretty sure they have right of claim to the business." Adrien said.
"Not if I'm rewriting the terms for the new universe, my boy." Yuki said as Marinette give him a look for that. "Aw don't worry, I'll make your family's bakery gets a quality-of-life upgrade."
He moved to the Bebop crew and Pibby's bunch.
"Ok, I have integrated your world as well. With the space travel and ships, I've been able to study them, and I can expand across the stars. You've made me…or soon to made me an even richer man. So as thanks for that, I want to ensure you get some of that wealth." Yuki said as the Cowboy Bebop balked.
After getting screwed or giving up the reward for so long, the idea of getting it was a shock.
"Faye, through prying into your universe's history, I saw you lost your family home. So, I restored it." Yuki said as Faye had a wide-eyed look. "The only difference is the place. I debated on where, but I ultimately settled for New Los Santos. West Eclipse Boulevard, Rockford Hills, New Los Santos. The only modification I made to the place was a bigger garage for your ship."
Faye just silently hugged him trying not to cry.
"What you've given me is more valuable than money…" She admitted before asking, "But I'm still getting a cash reward, right?"
"Dude…selfish, much?" Pierce asked.
"Oh you will. I've calculated the bounties you were going after that you lost because of factors outside your control and multiplied it by four for you all to split. It's sitting in the mansion." Yuki said as Faye broke away excited.
"Ein, from now on, it's only gourmet dog food for you!" Ed said holding the corgi who yipped.
"So Pibby, what about you?" Yuki asked.
"We've decided to join up with the Bebop crew…with what's happened? Bounty hunting sounds good to us. Thanks for saving our necks again." Pibby said as Yuki bowed respectfully.
He moved onto the ponies.
"Ok, I wasn't able to fully transfer your world to the new one. Magic was a bit too foreign. Basically, I was able to get the people…with a bit of mutation. They and…well…you all will gain a sub ability to shift between your current form and an anthropomorphized form. Thankfully, I just had to break down a sub-universe to get a work around. Your families are fine…but you're going to have start from scratch. Most of you…I wanted to hire Twilight for my company for studying magic."
"So, there's no way to restore my family farm?" Applejack asked.
"I'm actually working on settling you guys in a town, I just need time to decide on where. Whether the Old Los Santos or the New one." Yuki said. "We can discuss that after I deal with the last of them."
He turned to Loud family.
"You on the same boat. Your home universe got royally screwed. Morag pretty just give Griseo the means to utterly cripple it." Yuki said before asking about her.
"I got her with a lucky shot…she was trying to go after my sister…." Lincoln said quietly before Yuki laid a hand on his head.
"I know that your world is a lot more peaceful than mine, but you still bucked up to defend your family." Yuki said earnestly. "I will work to compensate what I could for you and your family…speaking of."
"You rather I tell them?" Mary asked as Yuki nodded. "Of course, Yuki wishes to offer some of you work for his company, XanTech."
"Prying into the data, I've seen Lisa Loud's genius and I'm not going to let that go unnoticed. Considering I did screw you all out of house and home, I'll will compensating by giving you a boon, a new home. One twice as big as your old one. And work for you, Lynn Senior, as caterer for my company. I will ensure you are paid well for the work." Yuki said professionally. "Also, could you use a model for the clothing line."
Lola waltzed up only for Yuki to stop her.
"Sorry sis, I guess she sees me as model material." Lana joked.
"Look, you're both adorable, but come back in thirteen years when you're matured. I'm actually asking about her." Yuki said gesturing to Leni. "I…"
"YES! Please, it'll be a pleasure." Leni said giddily. "Where do I sign?"
"That will be handled when I activate the sphere to construct the new universe. As for where your family will be staying." Yuki said before snapping his finger.
The wall glowed before showing a wide screen image of the map of the USR.
"This is the United States of Remnant, the new country I'm developing on the Earth for the new universe. The other countries from Earth will exist as well…but let's focus on the USR." Yuki said as the map focused in on a place. "I'm thinking a stilt house. I did have to modify a few things, but here it is: 2044 North Conker Avenue, Vinewood Hills, New Los Santos."
Jaws dropped. If Rita Loud was a younger mother…she probably would nearly dropped Lily.
"10 car garage. Numerous rooms. The house is worth about…nearly 800 grand. Don't worry about the money, merging your world will allow me access to grow my wealth. So, consider it and what's inside paid for in full." Yuki said.
"What about our friends and extended family?" Luna asked.
"They'll be moved to New Los Santos, though their memories of their original hometown will be faded. Don't worry, you'll remember you all. But only the lot of you here will have your original memories intact. I also noticed that Lori was going to college…so I just shifted you to be attend the local university in the state. No need to thank me." Yuki said coolly.
"If I join your organized group of worshipers, can I get powers?" Lucy asked. "Not the aura thing, one of your guardians unlocked our whole families. I meant the Voyden stuff."
"Oh, that's technically Noire's turf…I don't know how this god stuff works. I literally just become one, and I got people praying to me, making offers, and stuff!" Yuki said sheepishly before bringing the map back to the wide shot.
He moved over to Team Avatar who were waking up hangover and sour.
"Oh, you! Where the hell have you been?" Toph said sourly at Yuki.
"Working. I do have some bad news for you…unlike the others. Your world was the worst off. I was barely able to save a tiny amount of people from your world. Aang, I'm sorry…but Griseo drained the spirit world. You guys are essentially the last benders left…at least until you put out some kids." Yuki said trying to gentle about the bad news.
For the hungover team, they just looked at Yuki looking completely destroyed, but he was not done.
"You'll be resettled in the USR but given the nature of your world…and the others I'm merging into the new one. Well…all I can say is good luck with trying to figure that out." Yuki said before backing away.
"I need another drink." Zuko said glumly.
"No, you're going some need of this." Shaundi said revealing some weed. "A lot."
Yuki, Mary, and Blade moved to Alqadr and his group. A few of the members had been able to return to their home universes with no issue leaving those who were leftover who decided to not return, were unable to go back, and/or opting to stay with Alqadr. There was also those from this universe of heroes (the DCAU) who opted not to returned…due to them being pretty sure they were going to end up in prison for life or get the death penalty for helping Griseo.
"I assume we're being resettled to that place." Alqadr said as Ichika came over. "No issues for that happening."
"None. But I'm wondering what you'll do now." Yuki said.
"Is there going to be a place like Menagerie?" Alqadr asked.
"Actually, I'm importing Menagerie, a few smaller islands from Remnant, and Atlas wholesale." Yuki said as Alqadr sighed in relief.
"Then I'm thinking of settling down someplace. Not sure what exactly what I'll do, after everything…I guess I'm done living like I did before. I got something I'm fighting for and people who actually have my back. Gardow would have wanted me to leave Griseo behind…and that's what I'm doing." Alqadr said as Yuki nodded respectfully.
Lastly was Misato and Evangelion pilots to which was Yuki was a bit more optimistic.
"While your world was among the ruined, it's people can be saved and bought over to the new universe. They won't remember anything of their old timeline…but they'll remember you. I'll work with Serena to bring them over, resettle them, you guys, and work to weave them into this universe."
"Then, what about the Evangelions?" Shinji asked. "Or the Angels?"
"I'll be sealing the mechas away here in the Spire for study, if that's fine." Yuki remarked. "As for the Angels? Serena and I will do with it. But I will ensure in the new universe, you four are rewarded for all the suffering you went through."
Yuki left them alone to let them mull over what he said before rejoining Mary.
"Well, you've covered the refugees. What about your people back home?" Mary said as Serena appeared.
"I was handling that. It's time to finish the last touches and began the reconstruction." Serena said. "And I suggest you check on your acquisitions."
"You mean Harley and Ivy…I've been focusing on their minds. No one can really hide their thoughts in my domain." Yuki said as a few of them went pale. "And yes, Dr. Psycho…I do intend to keep you under my company's employ. Your salary will receive a bump for giving me Ivy and Harley, but don't expect a high position."
The dwarfish doctor fist pumped with an eager look either way.
"Blade, go check on your friends. Serena, I'd like some space." Yuki said as Serena vanished. "Mary, come with me. We need to see the two."
Yuki and Mary walked on ahead subtlety reading the thoughts of Harley and Poison Ivy. He was not worried about her as she seemed resigned to being under him. In fact, she was livider at Harley who clearly was being…rather dense for a psychology major. He was not surprised. Harleen had been pissed at the sight of her alternate that she completely buried the Harley nickname…even for her closet friends. Yuki could understand.
"Poison Ivy? Can you hear me…I'm speaking telepathically." Yuki internally said.
"Not surprised you can do it. And it's Pamela Isely…not like I'm a supervillain anymore." Pamela shot back.
"Fair enough, but I noticed Harley and her stupid little plan. Does she really think I'd feel for her fake brown-nosing?" Yuki remarked in his head.
"Harley's thinking she can fool you like everyone else. But considering you're reading her and my mind…it's obviously not going to work." Pamela said.
"It will, just against her. I'm planning out something…and if you comply…I can assure you that you'll be spoiled for it." Yuki shot back. "And before you ask, no I wouldn't have you make out with Harley for my amusement. Considering you willingly surrendered to me, I'm not one to give you reason to not tolerate being under me."
"And you've got a more willing slave for it. Not that I can really complain…considering I could have been killed." Pamela asked.
"Just play along. If Harley wants to play ass kisser, we may as well make her work for it." Yuki said before spotting them. "Look alive. I'm behind you."
Pamela turned to see him along with Mary approaching.
"If it isn't my ladies of the hour." Yuki said coming up as Pamela bowed.
"Lord Azure." Pamela said respectfully.
"Oh, Silver One, it's good for you to pay your humble servants a visit." Harley said with a bow.
Mary just gave Harley a look that spoke on how full of crap Harley was. Yuki was tempted to roll her eyes at Harley.
"I'm here because I want to check on my servants…no…more like slave girls." Yuki said before having a thoughtful look. "Never thought I'd have slave girls. Ivory's going to be jealous. Oh, I almost forgot I have one more I haven't dealt with. But I've settled for Pamela to be my head of this little trio with benefits."
"What? Why her? Trust me, she's a total dead fish in the bedroom." Harley said as Pamela give her a silent glare.
"I'll be the judge of that." Yuki said pulling Pamela over his side. "Because…I detect bias. Isn't that right, Pammy?"
She had out a small yelp but the sudden squeeze on her rear.
"Considering she was thirsting for me, master." Pamela said. "Yes."
"Hey, aren't you going to squeeze my ass too?" Harley asked.
"Nah, I don't feel like it." Yuki said feigning aloof. "But I might be privy to change my mind on the lead thing. I should have more time to think about it. But just to let you know, we'll be leaving the Soul Silver Dimension for our new home quite soon. Mary, keep these two company. I need to deal with the last two."
He vanished leaving them alone before reappearing on the top of the spire.
"Serena, what's the status of Livewire and Alcina?" He remarked.
"The device applied to them is working perfectly." Serena said appearing next to him. "And the one for Harley has been successfully implemented. I do ask why you didn't make one for Isley."
"Because I don't have to. She's resigned herself to serve me and considering Harley's attitude…I got her loyalty." Yuki remarked. "I do have to deal with the others."
"I'm surprised that an alternative version of you would come up with such a device. Or that he'd even give it to you, all considering the strife it brought him." Serena said as the bubble containing Lirewire floated down.
"He did say to use it wisely, and I hope I only have to use it for these three." Yuki affirmed. "I'm actually impressed this bubble is still running considering all I went through since I bubbled her."
"A testament to your aura reserves and/or the matter of this place increasing the strength of Silver Eyed Warriors over time while here." Serena remarked as Yuki raised an eyebrow. "Think of it as a temporary buff of sorts."
"Good to know." Yuki said putting a hand on Serena's shoulder. "Serena, thank you for always being the shield to my sword."
"Yes, yes, I love you too, Yuki." Serena said. "You should be able to control the device with thought now. Now welcome your new toy."
Serena vanished and he popped the bubble as Livewire fell on her butt.
"What happened? Who are yo-YOU!" She said swinging up.
"Yes. Me. You've been out of the action for a while. So let you fill you in. Griseo's dead, Towa's dead, most of his little army were massacred. And you, you're a prisoner of war." Yuki said coldly. "You've pissed off the God of the Grimm Slayers…the Silver Eyed Warriors."
Livewire simply scoffed.
"And that's supposed to be intimidating." Livewire said with a chuckle. "I lived in world of superheroes that can tear you a new asshole."
"Yes, but they follow a 'won't kill' rule." Yuki said getting her to stop chuckling. "And I have pretty big body count."
Yuki snapped his fingers showing Livewire an illusion…of all the bodies of the people he's killed…and his arms and face stained with blood. Adam's corpse had his throat and face torn off for extra measure. Livewire stepped back in horror when she saw the Joker and a few villains she knew.
"Familiar faces? I assume your heroes wouldn't have them as corpses." Yuki said as the illusion faded. "Got any shit talking to do?"
Livewire just looked at the spot where the bodies she knew where and looked up at him as she tried to muster some bravado.
"Livewire Command: Disable Powerset." Yuki said.
Livewire felt her body change: her blue skin returned pale, hair returning black, and her eyes returning to black. She realized the ionized air that was her costume had fizzled out leaving her naked. She looked down before looking up at him not bothering to cover up…to look less vulnerable even if she had no powers.
"Well shit." Leslie said awkwardly.
"I can also do it mentally. Not telling you how, Leslie." Yuki said confidently.
"Considering the cyber stuff, it's obvious you're a tech guy like Luthor. But I don't think he's on your level." Leslie said sheepishly trying to bolster. "But I don't need my powers to take you down."
"Interesting. What training have you had?" Yuki asked. "Even without the God stuff, I got years of martial arts training, swordsmanship, marksmanship, firearms, and my wide variety of powers."
Leslie's bravado had shattered when he showed her some of his feats through the illusions. It was dawning on her that his recent increase in power was basically icing on the cake. When he restored her powers, she restored her outfit.
"I've been wanting to ask about that…your outfit is basically ionized air." Yuki remarked.
"Basically, naked all the time…" Leslie said sheepishly. "And now I feel it…"
"To put in blunt, you are a prisoner of war that I have decided to make a simple offer to join the other two under me. Harley and Ivy. Unless you rather be returned to your universe sans powers." Yuki remarked.
It hit her.
"So, you're gathering slave girls. I assume that they'd have privileges and an allowance. More so…the more…" Leslie said biting her lip. "Willing…"
Yuki raised an eyebrow.
"Look, I know when I'm outmatched and considering the circumstances…this works for me. I won't need to be out there committing crimes when I got someone like you to keep me on a leash." Leslie said suggestively.
"I can read minds. And I have put up with the seductive act." Yuki said mirthfully. "But you're not bullshiting me. Which means you can help me with something…and do well…you'll be rewarded."
"What are we doing?" Leslie asked.
When he explained, she started laughing.
"Good to now, you're not a boy scout." Leslie said chuckling. "And you're very lucky Harley is a person I'm more than happy to screw over."
"It's telling." Yuki said before a door appeared before opening itself. "Come on. Time you meet them."
He took her back to the others before telepathically telling Pamela that she was in on it.
"I must pay Livewire's home universe a visit…I have to announce the death toll." Yuki said before leaving again.

The Watchtower was on full steam today as with the numerous villains having left Earth, people wanted answers. Cadmus and the Justice League were working together, a rare moment considering everything. Amanda Waller never expected to be up on the Watchtower herself, but it was an odd honor. She still had her grudging respect for Batman, and came to assist mostly due to his request for aid.
"My sources aren't coming up with anything." She said disappointed.
"Only lead I had was from Harley Quinn. That whoever recruited these villains had asked her and Ivy to join, but they both refused." Batman said concerned.
Before anymore could be said, a bright flash came in the middle of the Watchtower. The staff got behind something, Amanda had her laser pistol, and the League members primed to fight as out from the portal came Yuki Azure.
"I come in peace." Yuki said as the light faded. "And as for now, I'm in here…I let myself in. Marvelous work on the coding and construction. Truly astounding."
"Who are you?" Superman asked.
"A God. A new one, actually. Yuki Azure, God of the Grimm Slayers. Overseer of this multiversial chain with the Goddess of Time and the God of the Voyd." Yuki said as people recognized him from his public ascension. "Quite a pleasure to meet, but I'm here on business. It's about the villains who joined up with a threat of mine, Griseo. Most of them from your world is dead. And those there weren't…aren't returning in fear of being given the death penalty considering I'm pretty sure threatening to help a terrorist ruin the multiverse would warrant that. But take a bit of a relief that you won't have to worry about it or have to see me again."
He left leaving everyone at a loss for words.
"What do we do now?" Flash asked.
No one really had an answer.

"I did not forget about you, Alcina." Yuki remarked floating up on be eye to eye with her.
Despite her massive height, she felt small to him given his abilities. Livewire, Harley, and Ivy were silently watching from a distance while Mary was watching while eating popcorn enjoying seeing Alcina squirm.
"I got something for you that you'll be on your own to do." Yuki said as Alcina gulped. "I will give your own operation to run. Of course, I'll be expecting a cut of that action. Understand?"
"Yes, Lord Azure." She said bowing politely.
"Well then, it's time to make the final preparations." Yuki said floating down to the ground. "Let's go. When the process is complete, I'll come see you to discuss the percentage."

The school was closed at the moment, but people had gathered as night fell. Team RWBY, JPNR, CASL, CFVY, the Amazons, Ozpin's group, Ironwood, Winter, STRQ, Toriel, and all those of Remnant involved in the fight were here. Oscar had been brought for this, along with the refugees as well. Yuki was last to arrive with Chronoa and Noire. Noire's people had revealed themselves from the shadows.
"It's time." Yuki said pulling out the sphere. "I'm glad that all have come tonight to where it all began…and where it will end."
"I'm surprised you didn't do this at Crossroad Village." Shampoo said.
"It was recommended by my other that I didn't do it. And I realized I want to go on…I have to leave it behind and let it rest in peace…" Yuki said.
"So, this is it…Remnant of Old is over…" Ayla said.
"Yeah, but the new universe will be better." Noire said excitedly. "I'm going to take over a country for my people and my adopted kin."
"By the way, did you deal that woman that wanted you to fix her face?" Ivory asked. "I don't see her."
"Calendar Girl…I mean Page Monroe." Yuki said pointing her out talking to Zoey. "That's her."
"She's gorgeous…" Ivory said. "What was her face like before?"
"The same. Apparently, she's mental with body dysmorphic disorder. So, Serena did some electro-shock therapy while I fixed the two minuscule scars on her face. Minuscule that I needed to enhance my vision to see. Now the woman's…urk." Yuki said before interrupted Zoey and Page.
"Yuki, I was just discussing the matter of a peace accord between the Azure Acolyte, the Keepers of Times, and Voyd Walkers." Zoey said. "We would prefer a place of worship not too close to each other."
"Already dealt with. You get New Los Santos. And Chronoa agreed to her followings getting San Fierro." Yuki remarked. "As for the followers of Noire…they are going with him to his new country. In East Asia. An island nation that he requested be modeled after the ninja villages from that universe full of them."
"And I call it the Aura Islands: Silver Vale and Golden Mantle." Noire said mischievously. "I'm going to be ruling as daimyo over both, make some ninja villages, study my powers, and start a family proper with my wife because…"
"I'm pregnant." Sayah said excitedly. "I'll finally have a little one to call my own."
Considering what said kid had to inherit from his father…that scared a few people.
"So, you're going to have a cousin. And the question is either I am going to have a nephew or niece?" Noire asked.
"At this point, you have what…a dozen women who will sleep with you…let alone have your kid." Sayah said. "Have them fight for you. I remember the day I did that for Noire. So many women wanted him…and he kept cheese balling it so there was a fight. I won and I declared him mine. Good times."
Yuki put his focus on the sphere.
"It's time to say goodbye. For this is the day we've been waiting for." Yuki said holding up.
"The bloody evolution to our revolution." Chronoa said wistfully.
Noire looked thoughtful as they looked to him.
"So, this is what the dream feels like…the victory we longed for." Noire said without his sarcasm or snark. "What we will get out of it is not going to be complete peace…but it will be a better future."
With that, Yuki lifted the sphere as it began to glow with a bright silver light that consumed them, the world, the universe…spidering into other universes. With the pieces…something new yet familiar was forged.
(A/N: Christmas Day, 2021, 10:00pm (Marking the moment this was finished). After so long, it's finally at a close. The End of Remnant is over, and we shift to Remnant's Four Shadows grand finale. Yeah, with everything that's happened…it was time to bring it to a fitting end. They can all go on to a bright new future full of possibilities. The grand finale is going to be rather long given all the characters, but it'll be done in snippet stylings. But to clarify something, the device Mirror!Yuki gave him is reference to Path of Shadows. A bit symbolic of Yuki Prime having elements of all other Yukis. By the time of this posting, I'll be taking a break. I did re-edit several dozen chapters and write these chapters furiously while putting aside every other fic on my list. See you all…for the grand finale to come in 2022!)
