Chapter 2

Cinder scowled at the sudden interruption. She didn't know what was going on, but clearly the plan needed adjustments. They had Amber cornered, but now there are over a dozen children standing between her and the Maiden powers.

"Cinder," Emerald stated, Mercury and her getting back to Cinder, "What do we do?"

"Can you manipulate multiple people?"

"No. If I do two, I start getting a headache quickly."

Cinder nocked an arrow. "Then we have only one option." She fired, the arrow piercing through one of the kids, and stunning the others.

"KEEEENNNNNYYYY!" One of them screamed out.

"Damn, boss." Mercury snarked.

"They've seen our faces. We can't let them leave here alive."

Emerald looked a little hesitant, as did Mercury, but he simply shrugged his shoulders as he got into a combat stance.


The Freedom pals were left stunned as Kenny hit the dirt.

"Oh my god," Stan cried out, "She killed Kenny!"

"You bitch!" Kyle cried out. Amber was shocked that a child so young would use swear words.

"Uh, guys," Cartman commented, "Going out on a limb here, but I don't think they're going to let us leave here."

"Yeah," Wendy added, bringing out her selfie sticks, "If they killed Kenny without hesitation, they clearly don't want anyone left alive."

"Freedom Pals!" Timothy commanded, "Take them down!"

The kids, now donning their hero personas again, sprung into actions.

Fastpass blitzed past them, shocking them.

"Damn, he's quick!" Mercury exclaimed.

"Heads up!" Emerald cried out. Mercury turned, seeing Super Craig lunging at him. He kicked at him, foot and fist colliding. Emerald moved to assist, but Call Girl intercepted her, the two engaging each other, sickles vs selfie sticks. Emerald quickly cut across Call Girl's cheek, while Mercury hammer kicked Super Craig, the two being sent back a few feet. The entire time, Fastpass took quick attacks on the three, who were being pushed back. The other Freedom Pals waited, not wanting to crowd the area too much.

"Wait," Emerald commented, "Do these kids not have their Auras unlocked?"

"What the fuck is Aura?" The Coon inquired, but no one paid attention to him.

"Not all of them, it seems," Cinder replied, "As some of them have their Semblances."

"What the FUCK are Semblances?" Again, no one paid attention to him.

Cinder, catching a glimpse of Fastpass making a run, stabbed one of her blades into the ground just in time for Fastpass to run into it. He tripped, sliding on the ground and stopping next to the others.

"Wonder Tweek." Super Craig called out.

"Got it!" He replied, summoning water dolphins. Using Soothing Showers, he healed the three of them. Buttlord then walked past them, getting into a fighting stance. The Coon, Captain Diabetes, and Tupperware all joined her.

"Oh, you fuckwads are in trouble now." The Coon taunted.

"You shall pay for killing Mysterion." Tupperware added.

"Feel the wrath of Captain Diabetes!"

"You've got to be kidding me." Mercury laughed, "You can't be serious with these theatrics."

"Ha!" The Coon retorted, "These theatrics are going to kick your ass."

Buttlord pointed to The Coon, then to Emerald. Captain Diabetes, then to Mercury. Tupperware and herself, then to Cinder.

"Got it," Tupperware commented, "We all know our assigned targets."

The Coon scoffed, "I was gonna take her on anyway." Coon then launched a flurry of swings at Emerald.

'Damn, he's quick.' Emerald thought, defending herself. Captain Diabetes then charged at Mercury, the two trading fists and kicks. Tupperware and Buttlord stared down Cinder, who narrowed her eyes. Then, beeping was heard behind the kids. Buttlord turned, seeing the upturned Airborne Annihilator. She grinned, pulling out her phone, and activating it. Professor Chaos quickly flipped it back over, and the drone flew above them. Cinder fired several arrows, but it deftly dodged them. Then, she got pelted from bullets…from the ground? Switching her bow to twin blades, she shielded herself as a turret was in front of Tupperware. Buttlord ran towards her, summoning an ethereal scythe. She created shards of glass, launching them infront of Buttlord. Glowing menacingly, Tupperware used Hot Swap just as they exploded. Cinder smirked, only to gasp as she saw Tupperware standing where Buttlord was, both unharmed.

"How?"

"Freedom Pals," Timothy exclaimed, "We have to end this NOW!"

"Alright!" Captain Diabetes took out a juice box, taking long sips and downing the whole thing. Veins appeared along his arms and up his head.

"I've got a bad feeling about this." Mercury commented. Captain Diabetes launched a punch at Mercury, who responded with a kick. Both collided, and there was a distinct screeching sound as the fist bent his foot. In that same instance, Mercury was sent flying back.

"Merc!" Emerald cried out, seeing Mercury fly through a tree, then slamming into another one.

"HaHAHAHA!" Coon laughed, "Looks like your friend isn't hot shit!"

Emerald growled, and Cinder prepared to attack once more. However, she saw Amber's eyes glowing with flames.

'Damnit.' "Retreat!"

"What?"

"Now!"

Cinder launched an onslaught of glass shards. Knowing what they did earlier, everyone moved back as they exploded. The large amount of smoke blocked their view.

"Fastpass, can you clear this?"

"R-r-right away." Fastpass then started spinning around the smoke, quickly dispersing it. However, when it cleared, their attackers were gone.

"Yeah!" Coon cheered, "Run away you little bitches. Nanananana, we kicked your asses!"

"Human Kite, can you get a bird's eye view?"

"Yep," Kite flew into the air, surveying the area, "I can't see them!"

"Darnit. Alright, everyone, regroup and~"

"Woah, woah! Incoming on your left!"

Everyone turned, seeing a man wielding a massive sword rushing towards them. The Freedom Pals prepared their weapons for this new opponent.

"Woah, wait wait!" Amber got in front of them, "This guy's with me!"

"And how do we know you aren't going to attack us just like the last guys!?" Coon retorted.

"Amber!" The man called out, his weapon shifting from a sword to a scythe.

"Holy!?" Professor Chaos exclaimed.

"Interesting," Tupperware added, "The gears within his sword shift so the blade can transform. However, a dangerous weak spot."

"Qrow, hold it!" Amber called out, "I'm fine."

The man, now known as Qrow, narrowed his eyes. "I heard fighting. What are all these kids doing here?"

"I was attacked by," Amber shifted her eyes quickly to the kids then back to Qrow, "Bandits, when these kids appeared out of nowhere. I don't know how things would've gone if they didn't appear."

Qrow nodded, understanding her meaning when she referred to the attackers as 'Bandits'. "You say that like they fought them off alongside you."

"Actually, the kids alone matched them. It was only when I decided to get involved that they retreated."

Coon laughed, "Oh, how funny. So you can make your eyes glow. Why would that make them run when we have even cooler powers?"

Amber looked ready to speak, but then took a look at Qrow, who only shook his head.

"Besides," Toolshed exclaimed, "We have more important things to worry about, such as~KENNY!"

Suddenly remembering, the Freedom Pals quickly ran, gathering around their dead friend. Scott quickly applied insulin to himself while everyone mourned for Kenny.

"Holy shit," Kyle commented, "Kenny's dead."

"Yeah," Jimmy added, "It's k-kinda insane. We w-w-went through all that, and an a-a-a-arrow kills him."

"Yeah," Stan finished, looking angrily at Cartman, "All because of this fuckwad."

"What?!" Cartman retorted, "What did I do?!"

"If you didn't cause all this, Kenny would still be alive!"

"How is that my fault?!"

"Cartman," Timmy declared, "You can't keep hiding behind Mitch Conner. Now, one of our classmates, our friends, is dead."

"It's not my fault! I have no control over Mitch Conner!"

While the kids squabbled, Amber walked over to Qrow.

"Are these kids always like this?" Qrow asked her. While he certainly didn't like children acting this vulgar, he felt meeting their parents might be quite entertaining for him.

"Since the moment they got here. One other thing, they don't have their Auras."

"Doesn't surprise me~"

"And they can still use their Semblances."

"What?!"

Qrow outburst attracted the Freedom Pals attention. Qrow walked up to them, his weapon shifting to inactive mode.

"Hey, kids. How are you able to use your Semblances without Aura?"

"What and what?" Wendy replied.

"Wait, do you kids not know what those are?"

"Look, Old Man," Cartman answered, "We have no idea where we are."

"Yeah," Kyle added, grabbing Cartman, "But this asshole's going to get us back home, or else!"

Meanwhile, Buttlord looked at Kenny's body, confused. As a Netherborn, shouldn't he have come back from the dead by now.

"It wasn't your fault," Timothy told her, "While it was extremely random, he died making sure we could see the bigger picture."

Buttlord rolled her eyes as she walked between Cartman and Kyle. She then pointed at Qrow and Amber.

"Buttlord's right," Scott said, "Let's focus on the two in front of us."

"He's right. We should focus on finding a way back home, but let's deal with these strangers first."

"Alright," Qrow said, putting his weapon away, "Mind telling me your names?"

"Eric Cartman."

"Kyle Broflovski."

"J-J-J-Jimmy Valmer."

"Clyde Donovan."

"Wendy Testaburger."

"Craig Tucker."

"Scott Malkinson."

"Stan Marsh."

"Token Black."

"Tweek Tweak."

"Butters Stotch."

"And I am Timmy Burch."

Qrow was a little shocked that one of them could speak telepathically, but he's seen weirder Semblances, his included. Qrow looked to Buttlord, who was quiet.

"And you?"

"..."

"Oh," Cartman answered, "This is Buttlord."

Qrow raised an eyebrow. "Okay, what's her real name? And why can't she answer for herself?"

"That's just what we call her, she never told us. As for why she doesn't talk, she's mainly being a douche."

Buttlord eyebrows narrowed as she got her phone and smacked him across the face.

"OW! What the hell?!"

Buttlord pressed a button on her phone, and all the Freedom Pals got messages.

"Oh," Token exclaimed, "Buttlord's sending us a text group invite."

"Why?" Kyle replied, "We're all here."

Buttlord face-palmed.

"Everyone, just enter the chat."

Everyone accepted the invite, and Buttlord began typing.

"Hey, fatass, I couldn't tell you my name because I'm MUTE!"

"Wait, you're mute?" Butters exclaimed, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Buttlord looked at Butters in a mixture of shock and anger, while he kept an ignorant smile. His smile then shifted to a frown.

"Oh, right, nevermind."

Buttlord sighed. She couldn't stay mad at him.

"Okay," Stan cried out, "So apparently our friend can't talk because she's a mute."

"Ooookay," Qrow stretched out, "And what's her name?"

Buttlord typed again.

"Luna."

"And your last name?"

Luna went to type, but then changed it.

"Does my full name really matter at a time like this!?"

"Good point. Give me a sec." Qrow walked a couple meters away from the kids, taking out his Scroll, Amber following closely behind him.

"You caused quite the mess, didn't you?"

"Hey, you kept shadowing me."

"To make sure something like this didn't happen."

"Really? So fourteen little kids couldn't come and save the day?"

"You know what I meant."

"Yeah. I just…wanted some time to myself. So I got a head start to the next town."

Qrow rubbed his forehead. "Oz is certainly going to want to know about this. But, first a ride." He dialed a number on his Scroll, then placed it to his ear.

"Hey, Leo, you there."

"Qrow? You shouldn't be calling me. What happened?"

"Autumn got attacked. She snuck away from me, and was jumped." Autumn was the callsign for the Fall Maiden. While it seemed unnecessary, he had no idea if anyone was listening in on the call.

"What!? Was it Her?"

"Her people."

"Is…Is she alright?"

"I'm here, Headmaster."

"What?" Leo sounded genuinely shocked, "How? I know Maidens have magic, but Her people should be trained to handle them."

"Let's just say she had…help. A bunch of kids were in the area and stopped them."

"...I'm sorry, you'll have to run that by me again."

"Believe me, I'm as confused as you are. Just send an airship to pick us up. I'll explain more once we get there."

"A-Alright. Unfortunately, you were near Pingtan, so the closest I can get you is over an hour away."

"Just make it work." Qrow hung up then took a swig from his canteen. Pingtan was a town along Mistral's coastline, and the plan was to take a ship from there to Sanus. Unfortunately, that plan has been thrown out the window.

'Shit,' Qrow scolded himself, 'I forgot to mention the dead kid. Well, he'll find out soon enough. Speaking of which.' Qrow walked back to the kids, "I've got an airship heading our way. It'll pick us up."

"Um," Token stated, "I'm not sure a helicopter is big enough to fit all of us. Unless it's one of those dual-bladed military types."

"Y-y-y-yeah, and I don't think this g-g-guy has any connections to the m-military."

"Well," Amber, "He is friends with Atlas's General."

"'Friends' is a bit of a strong word, Amber."

"Um," Kyle replied, "Who or what is Atlas?"

Qrow and Amber looked at the kids once again. How could these kids not know what Atlas? Even if they lived in secluded villages, they'd have heard of Atlas.

"It could be a reference to the Greek Titan Atlas," Token answered, "But I've never heard of a city being called that."

"Might be European." Butters added.

"Greek?" Amber questioned, "European? What are you guys talking about?"

Cartman laughed, "Very funny, you must be really sheltered if you haven't heard of Europe."

Qrow narrowed his eyes. Something was very off about these kids. "Let's not get into an argument. Like I said, we'll be picked up in an hour, so we'll stay here until then."

"Nuuu, my mom always said to beware of strangers." Butters protested.

"Well, sorry to say kids, but the nearest town is several miles back that way, and it's nearly night. Don't think you children want to wander the road at night with a Grimm prowling."

"What are Grimm?" Stan questioned.

Now Qrow was really confused. Even if these were the most sheltered children on Remnant, how could they not know of the Grimm?

"Regardless, it's best if we stay here. Also, we may want to cover your friend."

Everyone turned to Kenny's dead body. Luna narrowed her eyes. Normally Kenny would resurrect by now, but something was off.

"I've got plenty of tinfoil." Butters declared, pulling out two rolls of tinfoil.

"I can mesh them together," Token added, "One roll might not be enough to cover all of him."

Token and Butters then wrapped Kenny's body, head to toe. For the next hour, everyone mainly…did nothing but sit around. None of the Freedom Pals wanted to talk, and Qrow and Amber felt intruding on them would be the wrong idea. Luckily, no Grimm decided to pay them a visit, despite the obvious sorrow coming off the children. Eventually, Qrow heard the distinct sound of a Mistrilian airship.

"That's our ride." Qrow stood up, catching everyone's attention. The Freedom Pals looked shocked at the airship.

"Dude," Kyle said, "What the hell is that?!"

"Standard Mistrilian airship."

"Okay," Token replied, "But what is Mistrilian? It doesn't match any known countries or languages."

"I have a friend who can answer any questions you have. Just hop on."

When the airship landed, a Mistrilian officer dropped down, asking if he was Qrow, who confirmed it. The officer then noticed the wrapped up body, widening his eyes. Qrow said he'd explain what happened to Lionheart, and the officer nodded, carrying the body into the airship. Everyone got onto the airship, Amber helping some of the kids get up themselves, such as Timmy and Jimmy. The airship took off, night beginning to approach. Qrow, Amber, and the officer went to the front with the pilot, leaving the Freedom Pals in the back.

"Freedom Pals," Timmy communicated, "Something is very wrong."

"Guys," Wendy exclaimed, holding up one of her phones, "I'm getting no reception. Or data."

"What?" The Freedom Pals took another look at their phones, Qrow noticing that they didn't look like any Scrolls he's heard about. "Holy crap, you're right."

"That doesn't make sense, we should've gotten some signal."

"No," Wendy retorted, "Nothing. It's like there's nothing there."

"So, what," Cartman questioned, "We found the one place on Earth that doesn't have any wifi connection. We have hundreds of satellites."

"Cartman, I don't know if we're on Earth anymore. You said that we got sent through a Space tunnel."

"Yeah! But I doubt that we could've been sent to another planet!"

Kyle then noticed Luna was staring out the side window, wide eyed. Walking next to her, Kyle tapped her shoulder.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Luna only pointed a finger out the window. Kyle turned, and his face matched Luna's before muttering, "Holy shit."

The Freedom Pals heard Kyle, and gathered around Luna as they all saw what she saw: a broken moon.

"Cartman," Stan muttered, "I think Timmy's statement might be closer than we thought."

"Well…" Butters said, "Fuck."

Everyone heard rustling from behind them, turning, they saw Kenny's body…MOVING! Kenny's body began to jostle violently. The Freedom Pals panicked on various levels, aside from Luna.

"What the?!"

"Hey," Qrow said, turning around, "What's going on?"

At that moment, Kenny's hands punched through the tinfoil, before pushing to the side, allowing Kenny to sit up.

"Gah," Kenny grunted, "Man that hurt."

"ZOMBIE!" All the Freedom Pals, minus Luna who looked relieved, screamed in terror.


Author's Notes: Well, seems Kenny's resurrection is different when not on Earth. Let's hope his friends don't kill him accidently. Overall, I've decided that, after this chapter, I'll be having the kids use their real names instead of their hero/villain ones, as I don't believe they'll find it necessary. That can change later on, but I'm making it easier for myself. Next they'll be meeting with Haven's Headmaster, Lionheart. I'm sure that won't have negative repercussion in the future.

As always, leave a review, fav/follow, and I'll see you next time.

Next Update: SoR: Return.
