Next Avengers Heroes of Remnant
ESKK: Well let's get started on the newest Chapter so please enjoy my amazing fic.
*Insert Fight as One by Bad City
Start the opening music as the scene showed Vale as smoke rose from a distance showing it was under attack. Then it showed a large Grimm roaming about it roaring before it fired a beam from its maw causing the building major damage.
-Our world's about to break! Tormented and attacked!-
The screen began showing Weiss Schnee at the SDC Vale Branch during her visit from Beacon as she observed the attack before taking her leave to suit up. The scene then showed a man in disguise before his eyes glowed green. He then proceeded to turn into a green muscle bound for before roaring out.
Weiss hand was then scene in some skin tight suit as she moved the scene to show another one.
-Lost from when we wake! With no way to go back-
The scene then showed James as he had the Star Shield out and the Widow Magnum and fired at the Grimm and threw his shield at some White Fang Members. The scene then showed Torunn flying in the sky summoning thunder as Salem and Cinder were nearby and afar observing and glaring at her. She summoned forth Thunder before flying to the fight with the after image of Asgard in the place of Vale.
Weiss hand then appeared again before she showed the image of Azari, Pym, and Hawkeye in action as Pym went big smashing the smaller Grimm before going small to take down the Fang. Hawkeye with his new Bow and Arrow set fired off his Arrows showing them to be more like his fathers each with a different gadget to it. Following it up Azari charged in with thunder surrounding him before he mauled a few Grimm before spin kicking the White Fang who attacked.
-I'm standing on my own! But now I'm not alone! (Avengers Assemble)-
The scene was then moved by Weiss once more before she armored up in her Mk 7 armor before she launched through the tunnel.
-Always we will fight as one! Till the battle's won! With evil on the run! We never come undone!-
The scene began to show the group fighting off both Grimm and White Fang member as well as a few other foes about. James threw his shield and even converted the Widow Magnum into a sword slashing through his foes while holding back against the Fang and humans. The new Hulk came in smashing the foes as Pym flew and ran around in his small form before going big again. He then went for the big ones with Hulk before Tureen flew in.
-Assemble, we are strong! Forever fight as one! Assembled we are strong! Forever fight as one!-
Weiss or Iron Heart was then joined by the rest of Team RWBY as the team worked together taking on any foe they came across. Tureen and Cinder were seen duking it out with Ruby helping Torunn. Torunn fired off a powerful thunder blast from her sword as Cinder fired her strongest fire blast causing the two powers to struggle to overpower the other. Ruby then came in and broke the fight up before smiling to Tureen.
Ruby then ran over to James before helping him out as the two stood back to back taking on the Grimm side by side. Following, this up was Yang and Hulk both smashing to their hearts content before the two knuckle bumped each other. Next up was Azari as he and Blake worked in true symmetry as the Black Panther and Black Cat proved to be a powerful duo here. Pym was then seen helping out Weiss before Tureen came in to provide her support with James. Weiss fired a repulse beam at James causing it to reflect off his shield hitting the Grimm nearby.
The scene began to end with the two groups gathered around while glaring at the Grimm and White Fang surrounding them. The Grimm roared out but the Team was ready because despite being from separate world these Avengers had Assembled.
*End Opening Sequence
(Start Salem)
Somewhere in the Grimm infested badland, stood a dark purple castle. Surrounded by abnormal jagged purple and pitch black dust crystals. A woman with deathly white skin with deep red and purple veins sat on a throne of black crystal. She had white hair form into a bun with six offshoots tied with ornaments of black ribbons. Her eye were fiery red that glowed in the dark, the sclera of her eyes were pitch black. She wore a long black robe with red design resembling inhuman eyes.
As the inhuman woman enjoying a cup of tea, the door creaked open and muffled cries of a man could be heard just at the entrance. Tyrian slouched over, he dare not stand tall after his failure. The scorpion Faunus shrank even further as the inhuman woman stood and approached him.
"Tyrian... How goes the mission. Were you successful?" The woman said with a small frown.
Tyrian whimpered. "I'm sorry... please forgive me... I failed you..." He confessed which surprised Salem and also annoyed her that Tyrion had lost to children even if one of them was possibly one of the Maidens.
"Hush now. Tell me what happened." The woman said as she walked towards the cowering Tyrian.
Tyrian hissed angrily with tears in his eyes. "THEY CHEATED! THEY CHEATED! I WAS WINNING!" He roared out angrily while also on the verge of breaking down.
"Hush now my child, my ever loyal Tyrian. Calm down and tell me what happened." The woman coaxed wanting answers.
Tyrian recounted his battle with the Avengers, how he was winning, how he had her at the end of their rope. He even detailed how the battle went back and forth on who was winning and losing detailing how they had worked together united. Detailing how the youngest could become a giant and a pixie at will and even how the girl summoned her sword to her hand even after she was disarmed of the weapon. He even spoke of how Azari could summon the animal within and how Hawkeye almost never missed a shot.
"I'm sorry... please forgive me..." He begged looking to Salem as she glared down on him.
"They did not have aura?" Salem asked as she noticed none of them showed what may be that of a Semblance. Azari came closest but even then after the beating they each took their Aura should have shown signs of being depleted.
"N-no mistress." He said to which Salem began to notice that these children showed abilities not akin to Remnant. Her sources informed her of a raging monster that grew stronger with its anger but with said anger attracted Grimm to it. Plus with Atlas having Ironheart in the form of the Schnee heiress it would seem some sort of great advent had begun.
"I should be disappointed." Salem began as Tyrion was wide eyed at this expecting the worse. "But it seems I may have underestimated these anomalies." Salem added to her musings giving some hope to Tyrion. "But then again you allowed Ozpin to get his hands on them now." Salem said showing so far it was two strikes against Tyrion here. "But regardless it seems you will require aid the next time you confront them as to avoid them getting help at the last minute." Salem said and in turn leaving behind a shocked Tyrion.
The woman walked out of the room as Tyrian cried in sorrow that was soon replaced with absolute rage. The woman smiled as she heard Tyrian smashed up the furniture within the room, she could easily replace a few chairs and tables.
Another man stood just outside the room when the woman made her exit. The man had short black and grey hair. He wore a smart suit with a dark blue overcoat and yellow lining. He said with a well refine tone. "How may I serve? My queen." He said looking to the ancient witch.
The woman turned to the man. "Doctor Watts. I want you to find everything you can on the following group." Salem said as she got ready to list off names. "James Rodgers, Francis Barton, Henry Pym Jr., Azari T'challa, and most importantly Torunn Thorsdóttir. I want to know their families, their friends, and even their pets. Leave no stone unturned clearly these five have had prior training in combat if they managed to stand their ground against Tyrion." Salem said showing she was not in a good mood at the moment. "I do not take kindly to anyone who chooses to defy me or challenge me so openly." Salem said showing she wanted to know everything there is about these children who call themselves Avengers.
"As you wish Ma'am. I will have a complete report ready for you soon." The man began to walk away intent on gathering the needed data on these children.
When Salem was alone she chuckled a bit finding it humorous at what these Children called themselves. "Avengers? What do they desire to Avenge?" Salem mused wondering if these children may prove to be a challenge to her in some form.
(Back with the Avengers)
It had been a few days since there battle with Tyrion. They managed to make it to the village where they were each given medical attention. Apparently some of them were poisoned by the Faunus and Torunn was shown to be immune no doubt due to her Asgardian physiology. Azari had it better but was still hurt from it seeing as he was also a mutant.
Of course Pym was given the immediate stuff since he was still a child which was how they learned that their Aura was not activated. Torunn had little need for it but James went with it preferring to have a fallback to help them out. Seeing as James and Francis had no powers they went and got there Aura's unlocked followed by Azari and Pym. Torunn was stubborn and chose not to have it unlocked seeing as she did not have to worry about losing her powers anytime soon.
So after they were each treated and had their Aura's unlocked the group had boarded the next transport to Vale and were on their way. So now the group were in Beacon with the preparations for the new School Year nearly ready as they were taken to see Ozpin. Azari managed to steal Qrow's flask until they arrived at Beacon thus the drunkard had taken the first chance to drink himself under the table upon the return of his beloved flask.
So we find the group riding the Elevator up to Beacon Tower as the group had to admit the sight was one to behold. Far better than the one Ultron had made in Ultra City. They had taken the time to enjoy the sights a bit before coming to see Ozpin in person. The reason they had come to see him was because they believed he may be the one the God of Light told them to find when he had brought them to Remnant.
It wasn't long until the door dinged and thus the group of five or six if you count Qrow walked in. Once inside they saw Professor Ozpin standing there as Qrow looked to the Headmaster. "Here they are Oz… and here she is." Qrow said as he gestured to the Young Avengers and to Torunn.
"Welcome all of you… I've heard quiet the tales about you five." Ozpin said as he looked upon the children before him. "I was expecting you all to be a bit older." Ozpin said wondering how children so young could be so skilled in battle.
"Yes well your scout here hath informed us of you need of confirmation of something." Torunn said to which Ozpin noted how she had spoken. That form of communication was outdated for a very long time and he should know so either Torunn was something else or she came from a very old fashioned village.
"Yes of course." Ozpin said as he looked to Torunn before he began speaking. "Now tell me… Torunn was it?" He asked to which the Asgardian nodded in response. "Has any marks appeared on your body anything akin to your own crest like a tattoo?" Ozpin asked looking to her to which Torunn saw he wanted to confirm if she was a maiden or not.
"Nay nary that I hath bore witness to." Torunn responded to which Ozpin was intrigued now. He could already tell that Torunn was not a Maiden after all she would have shown the signs by now but just to be sure he needed one last proof.
"Can you use your powers not extremely mind you just enough to show me." Ozpins aid to which Torunn looked to her friends who either shrugged or nodded here.
Torunn then focused a bit and began to float in the air while Ozpin observed her. She summoned some lightning but nothing to major as Ozpin saw her eyes. They did not glow at all and he knew the telltale sign of a Maiden was the Eye Glow matching their eyes natural shade of colors.
"I see… then I apologize it seems you were a victim of mistaken identity." Ozpin said to which Qrow was surprised by this.
"Wait she's not a Maiden?!" He asked in shock before Ozpin responded.
"I am as surprised as you are Qrow but this girl is not one of the four." Ozpin said as he almost sighed in relief. But this also carried a sort of hope and dread for him as he knew magic was no longer in the possession of humanity since the Old Gods left Remnant. "But that still begs to question where or how you acquired your powers and skills." Ozpin said as James then spoke up.
"Yes well… we were asked by a Faunus with strange horns… to locate a very old wizard." James began while Ozpin was drinking his coffee. "And asked to aid him with his task and the Relics of Remnant when he called himself the… God of Light." James said causing Ozpin to go wide eyed and to Qrow's shock do a spit take of his coffee.
"Ok kid where did you hear about that?" Qrow demanded as he wanted answers and wanted them now.
"Qrow please." Ozpin said regaining himself after his out of character spit take just now.
"Oz." Qrow began but Ozpin cut him off.
"Please leave us for a moment if there is trouble I will inform you." Ozpins aid as Qrow sighed and took his leave keeping a close eye on the kids.
Once they were alone Ozpin sighed and spoke up. "How did you hear of this?" Ozpin asked to which James spoke up.
"The God of Light he asked us to come here and meet with you and well the story we're about to tell you is unbelievable but it's all true, Ozma." James said to which Ozpin knew James had a tale to tell.
"Then I am all ears." Ozpin said as he wanted answers for these young ones.
"We're not from Remnant… we come from a world called Earth and well our world has its own heroes and we just finished restarting the Age of Marvels." James said before he proceeded to tell Ozpin everything.
"See in our Parents time there was this idea… to bring together a group of remarkable individuals so when we needed them they can fight the battles we never could." James said quoting what Nick Fury had told Tony years ago.
"Yes and boy did it help because then there came a day a day unlike any other when Earths mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common foe." Azari continued as Ozpin listened intently.
"On that day the Avengers were born." Torunn said trying to keep the explanation brief.
"And well Remnant is going to need its own Avengers." James said before Ozpin asked a question.
"How so?" Ozpin asked before James sighed to this.
"Let me tell you about something called the Infinity Stones." James said before he began to go into detail on the Stones in question.
(Scene Break Vale 5 Days Later)
A man was sitting at a bar stool drinking some coffee as it was clear he was in a diner. It was clear he was trying not to be noticed as he checked his watch and nodded seeing he was still well below the levels for a possible incident. As he sat alone trying to enjoy the coffee he noticed his reflection and he was in dire need of a shave. But considering he had been on the run from those after… the other guy he didn't want to risk being spotted more than he had to.
Soon the door chime went off and someone came in and saw next to him. The man didn't dare take a look fearing the worst… but it appeared the woman recognized him. "Well Mr. Polendina you've seen better days." The woman said as the man looked and saw none other than Glynda Goodwitch from Beacon Academy. Also his old fire from back before… the accident.
"What are you doing here Glynda?" He asked knowing she tended to favor café's over diners save for the pies… unless.
"One… they have good pie here." Glynda began confirming the man's suspicion. "And two… Professor Ozpin has been trying to find you for months ever since the last incident." Glynda said knowing how the other guy caused a lot of damage.
"Glynda you don't seem to understand me taking a job at Beacon would cause mass damage dealing with kids at that level even in a combat school. I don't think I Can train them to handle what I have packing." The man said to which Glynda sighed a bit.
"Of course Forest." Glynda began knowing the name in itself was ironic due to Forest's green friend. "But things have changed I'm sure you've noticed the Grimm and Bandits have been targeting you more than normal." Glynda said as Forest knew that already. He's already had a few incident with the Hulk to get them both to safety. "Salem wants the Hulk and we need to keep her away from him." Glynda said knowing that if Salem got her hands of the Hulk she dared not think what could happen.
"So why Beacon? Going to lock me up in the vault or something?" Forest asked to which Glynda sighed.
"No Professor Ozpin has taken precautions and has secured you in a less strenuous position for your… temper." Glynda said sliding the file over to Forest on the job offer being given here. "Seeing as you are an actual doctor and are an expert in Gama Radiation… I just figured you'd want to stop running for a while." Glynda said as her pie was dropped off to go. "Please at least for the sake of what we once had, think about it." Glynda said knowing why he dumped her. He was afraid of hurting her by accident through the Hulk and Glynda doubt many would blame him.
Forest drank some of his coffee and looked to the file knowing Glynda and Ozpin were right… but was it safe for others to be around him or even be nearby.
(Scene Break Apartment)
"School! School! School!" Pym cheered while jumping on the bed in a room Ozpin had secured for them.
"Someone shut him up!" Azari complained as he tried to cover his ears in vain.
"Hey I've tried everything the kid is excited after all." Francis said as he was tinkering with one of his arrows. "Can't say I blame him he's going to school. How many schools were there back in Ultra City that was still intact and in use by human beings?" Francis asked as it was true none of them could blame the kid for being excited to go to school.
"Father if thou hears my prayers… I beseech thee give me the strength to smite Pym long enough for a moment of silence." Torunn prayed as her sword flew to her hand to which Pym went wide eyed.
"Ok shutting up now." Pym said knowing Torunn's sword would always return to her hand unless it's in the hands of another who was worthy of it.
"Thank God." Francis said with a flirting attitude torts Torunn who blushed a bit in response.
"Well now back to subject Ozpin or Ozma apparently trusts us though I still think he's hiding things." James said before Torunn chimed in.
"He is a wizard most ancient James due to the actions of this worlds God of Light." Torunn said knowing of Ozpin's reincarnation cycle.
When the Avengers had met with Ozpin they told him their tale and of the mission the God of Light had beseeched to them. The Avengers were needed since the Infinity Stones were being discovered though few unknowingly. They told him of their world and as far as he could see they were refugees in a sense of the word. Furthermore since they knew who he was he revealed parts of his story particularly the importance of the Relics. Yes the God of Light revealed to them of the judgement day should the Relics be gathered but not their individual abilities.
In return the Avengers told Ozpin of the Infinity Stones abilities so he could be on the lookout for them. Of course he was in shock to hear how these Stones when united made even the Gods quiver in fear and it was understandable. The Stones were made by an omnipotent being who predated the universe known only as 'The One,' and seeing as the six stones made up the fundamental aspects of the Universe that being Space, Time, Reality, Mind, Soul, and Power it was in good reason why the Gods brought in aid.
The children were of course told of the powers the Relics had… well he told them three of the four since the Relic of Choice has been difficult to acquire and further more difficult to use. The other three were straight forward the Lamp of Knowledge granted the user three questions with answers every thousands of years, the Staff of Creation can create almost anything within reason but some theorized it could create more, and the Sword of Destruction was exactly as the name implied it destroys everything it comes into contact with.
This of course revealing that the Relics are hidden in each of the Schools under heaviest of guard and despite their claims holding truth he still didn't fully trust them to reveal which school had what Relic. It was understandable seeing as the less people who knew this the better and they were the exception to the rule since the God of Light asked them to help.
But for now Ozpin made a request most odd. He knew they did not have a place to stay for the long term and had hoped that if they so choose to build the Avengers on Remnant that they would consider enrolling into Beacon. The request was odd and they knew it but considering it was a school designed to train Huntsmen and Huntresses to be the heroes Remnant needs they had an entire student body to pick candidates from. Plus seeing as he can pull strings to get them enrolled without question the Next Avengers knew they were set.
So they accepted his offer but seeing as three of them were underage he had each of them take a test of sorts. It wasn't much simply a written and practical test to see how far they were. The Written Test was simple enough seeing as they had burned through the library at the other village they stopped at. The Practical Test well they passed the written exam but the practical one was difficult as is with the Grimm. Simply put a small exercise to see if they were ready for Beacon's level of combat.
Needless to say the tests bore fruit and thus Ozpin gave them the ok for this. But he was more concerned over Pym seeing as he was the youngest and wouldn't fit in that well. But he had a plan that he simply told them the plan will be completed during the Beacon Initiation test. He gave them a hint and that was to make eye contact with each other.
After he set them up with an apartment the group had moved in to the apartment even if it's only for a short period of time. But like always James was never one who could sit still for long and do nothing. So James in his full gear got up and stretched a bit. "I'm going out." James said catching the others attention.
"What? Where are you going?" Azari asked looking to James.
"Get some fresh air I don't like being cooped up in here till 'school,' starts." James said as saying school was an odd thing for him as it made his nerves shiver in excitement.
"Very well but be sure to keep your 'Scroll,' with you. Ozpin hath provided us such expensive gear to help us adjust so be careful with it as well." Torunn said remembering how they were presented with the Scrolls.
When they made the comment on how those were some advance cellphones that Tony would probably create Ozpin explained that the name Scrolls was just a catchy name for them. And after he explained how they work the group was more than happy to take the gifts from Ozpin. "I got it mom." James teased to which Torunn huffed as she saw her brother walk out the door.
(Scene Break: From Dust Till Dawn)
Ruby Rose a girl with silver eyes and a red riding hood theme to her outfit. She had headphones on while she walked into the shop known as Dust Till Dawn causing the door chime to ring. "Oh hey Ruby what brings you here?" The man at the front desk asked as he was an odd one to say the least. He was an old gentleman with orange tinted glasses, a mustache, and just had this jolly nature to him.
"Oh hey Mr. Lee just hear for the latest issue of weapons magazine." Ruby said to the man before her while walking in.
"Should be in the back and I told you call me Stan." Stan said as Ruby smiled to the guy.
"Hey you didn't say it." Ruby said looking to him as the two smiled.
"Oh you mean." He began before they both spoke at the same time.
"Excelsior!" They both called out before sharing a small laugh.
Once there laugh was done Ruby went to the back of the store in all smiled as she grabbed the magazine. She then turned on hear headphones and began reading.
It wasn't long until James walked in and was met with the same man Ruby met. "Welcome kind of late coming here kid." Stan said noting James was around the same age as Ruby.
"Yeah well I had to get out of the apartment for a bit. Family and stuff." James said causing Stan to laugh a bit.
"Trust me kid we've all been there." Stan said as James began to look around the store. It was a good start to keep himself entertained but he had to get back to the others before bedtime. James noticed the Dust Crystals on display and knew how this was apparently their ammunition around here among other things. He also saw Dust that was in dust like form no doubt for other weapon types or to be used for other things.
So one half of the store was for Huntsman and from what he saw of the other half it was for teenagers and the like judging by the magazines and snack foods. James then shrugged a bit and went to the weapon side hoping to find something useful for himself or the others to use later if the need should ever arise.
But then the door open as a bell rang letting the old man know someone just came in and shock to see who it was a its was a man in a white coat, a bowl hat, and a cane in his hand. The person that the old man was looking at was Roman, one of the top criminals of the crime underworld, as behind him was a bunch of black suit henchmen.
James hidden in his spot saw the image on a reflective surface above and quickly acted natural by continuing his browsing acting unaware of the situation. He then carefully sent the message to his friends informing him of a crime going on.
Meanwhile Roman began to do what he came here to do while walking up to good old Stan Lee. "You know how hard it is to find a dust shop open this late?" Roman asked as one of the henchmen pointed a gun at the Stan's face as he raise his hand and said, "P-please, just take my lien and leave."
"Clam down, we don't want your money," Roman said as to reinsure he wasn't after that as he look to the guys in black and said, "Grab the dust."
Soon enough the guys in black went to the dispensers of dust, hook a container to them and drain them for all their worth. Another guy in black came up with a case and said, "Crystal. Burn. Uncut." Stan for both his safety and his two costumer's safety did what he was told while he reach down to the crystal dust and started to pull them out few at a time.
As one of the henchmen went to the other side for dust, he stop as he saw someone in the back. Ruby was reading magazines, and listening to music on her headset as she read. The thug pulled out a weapon and said, "Hand in the air where I can see them."
Ruby didn't move or really seem to be hearing him as the guy said, "Hey do you have a death wish I said hands in the air." Reaching over grab her shoulder and pull her out of her reading as she said, "Hu?"
The henchman saw the headset as he pointed at them, the girl understood and pull them down to hear what the man was saying as she said, "Yes?"
"I said, put your hands in the air, now!" the guy said to the red hooded girl as she asked, "Are you… robbing me?"
"Yes!" the guy was tired of saying it over, as the girl said, "Oh."
*Insert: This Will Be the Day
AS everyone was busy with the dust collecting as the there was a commotion in the back as someone went flying to the front of the shop.
Another Thug came in and pointed his gun at the girl as he want kidding. "Freeze!" He called as he pointed his weapon at the girl.
But then the guy was disarmed by a shield flying at him before ricocheted off the display case and to its throwers arms revealing it to be James. "Hey mind if I cut in?" James asked with a smirk on his face as soon guns were pointed at him and Ruby.
*Pause Music
(Outside)
*Continue Music
The window still was soon shattered as the thug was thrown out of it while both Ruby and James followed. The three Thugs looked out the window and saw the Ruby's weapon transform into a scythe before she spun it around and taking a battle stance. James followed suit by drawing Widow Magnum and taking his battle stance with both weapons in hand. Ruby then proceeded to turn off her headset so she wouldn't have to worry about the battery life for it.
*Ends song
"Ok..." The man said as he turned to his goon squad with an order for the dumbasses with no common sense. "Get her." He order before the three thugs left through the door to go after the duo.
James began as he began bashing his foes with his shield before kicking one of them down. He then shot at some of them making sure the bullets didn't cause major harm to them. He then transformed his gun into its sword form and began a sword with some of his foes. Ruby followed suit and used her scythes flat side to do none lethal take downs as she fired a few shots which were used to propel herself into a spin. Ruby used her semblance to avoid bullets from a goon while James threw his shield like a Frisbee and hit multiple goons at once while the shield ricocheted around.
James then caught the shield as he smirked at Roman Torchwick who was the last villain currently standing. Roman looked clearly annoyed and frustrated as he looked to his downed henchmen. "You were worth every cent. Truly, you were." He said with his voice dripping with heavy annoyed sarcasm.
"Well Reds White and Blue, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening." He began as he dropped his cigar and used his cane to crush it all with sirens coming in closer. "And as much as I'd like to stick around…" He continued before lifting his cane forward like a gun. "I'm afraid this is where we part ways." He said as the bottom of his can opened up into a scope only for Roman to catch sight of an odd light. It then grabbed his cane and flipped it up just as he pulled the trigger. IT wasn't done as the bullet went to the sky and exploded up high while he was flipped over.
"We came as soon as we heard, James!" Pym called out returning to normal size after rejoining James.
"What more of you?" Roman asked while getting up before he saw a thunder like light.
"Yeah more of us." Azari said from behind Roman who was wide eyed at this.
Roman was sent flying out as he quickly regained his self and began dusting himself off from this. "Well time for plan be." Roman said before flipping the cane so the handle was pointed out and fired it off to a ladder nearby. He then reeled himself torts it and caught it before he began climbing.
But as Roman climbed up he soon saw Arrows hit either side of the ladder as he saw this. He looked to the direction it came from and saw Francis there smirking and waving at him before gesturing to the Arrows. The arrows in question then began to beep to which Roman quickened his paste. It was a good thing he did as one by one the arrows went off releasing a small firecracker like explosive that would have knocked Roman off the ladder if he didn't hurry.
"Will you be ok if we go after him?" Ruby asked as she had saw the criminal and now had help from these random kids.
The Oldman nodded as Ruby nodded before she went after Roman with James. Pym shrunk down and flew after Roman while Azari moved like a cat and took the lead in speed.
(With Roman)
Roman managed to make it to the top before sighing in relief at narrowly avoided the archer's arrows. But then thunder struck near him as he looked and saw Torunn had landed with her sword drawn. Roman noted that she looked way to much like a renaissance fair but the sword as it charged electricity showed she was both real and deadly here. Soon Azari jumped to the roof and took a cat like stance before Francis zip lined in with his arrows. Following them up was Pym all before Ruby and James had caught up to him.
All of them glared at the criminal in question ready to take him down as needed. "Hey!" Ruby called to the orange haired man as the orange haired man stopped knowing the girl wasn't going to give up.
"Persistent." Roman cursed while glaring at her.
"Surrender swine and we shall show you mercy!" Torunn called out pointing her sword at Roman.
"What is this you kids lost or something?" Roman asked as he had no idea who he was messing with.
"No we're just here to turn you in!" Azari called out glaring at Roman.
"Well that won't be happening anytime soon kiddies." Roman said for that was when engines were heard as from in front of the man a Bulwark appeared as it flew before the criminal as its side opened to let him in. The man climbed in as wind blew which caused those with flowing hair to be blown by it.
"End of the line, kids." Roman called out while he held a dust crystal in his hand no doubt from the robbery before throwing it to the ground before the group.
"Azari!" James ordered as Azari then grabbed the crystal before the man could fire at it. He then threw it before Francis came in.
"I got it!" Hawkeye called out as Francis then fired off an exploding arrow and thus when it hit the dust crystal. The explosion from both arrow and crystal managed to keep itself contained and thus caused as little damage as possible.
"Nice one Francis!" Pym praised while flying near the archer.
That was when a bolt of energy hit the Bulwark as the two looked and saw a woman dressed in her combat uniform wielding a riding crop. The woman then adjusted her glasses revealing herself to be Glynda before sending energy bolts at the vessel causing it to shake about as the criminal tried to hold on. He then began making his way to the cockpit as he needed their help.
(In the cockpit)
Roman arrived to see the woman was driving the vessel as she was veiled in darkness save for her topaz colored eyes. "We got a huntress." The criminal said before the woman unbuckled and ran out to deal with it herself.
(Outside)
"Torunn stop that ship from escaping!" James called out as Torunn nodded.
She then focused with her sword and thus thunder struck down on it before she released it at the airship. The Beacon Academy teacher was surprised at the amount of power Torunn was using before she unleashed her attack. The Bulwark was hit by a flurry of thunder strikes to it causing it damage as it tried to stay airborne somehow.
Glynda decided to give Torunn some aid and in turn used her riding crop sent a powerful bolt of energy to the sky above the bulwark causing storm clouds to gather. Once they gathered they began to hail large ice as the vessel was being stabbed by these sharp pieces of ice. The thunder followed the ice as it created a sort of thunder rod effect on the ship above.
"Azari get in there!" James called out as Azari nodded and ran torts him before using his shield as a spring board. Azari then extended Wakanda's claws and stabbed them into the ship to hold his position and hopefully bring the ship down. But then his heightened senses picked up on the sound of heeled footsteps coming his way. He then saw a woman appear wearing red whose face he could not see but it wasn't her clearly being the source of the heel clacking.
The woman then aimed her hand at Azari before he could react and blasted him off the ship as he cried out in pain. "Azari!" Torunn cried out before she flew torts him and managed to catch him in time.
"Pym go small and break those wires!" James called out as he took aim to give Pym cover with Hawkeye.
"Got it!" Pym called out and saluted before flying to the ship. But the woman saw the boy coming and fired bolts at him to try and keep him away.
"Short stuff can't get in close." Francis cursed just before he and James avoided fire sent there way.
"Look!" James called out as it was then that the duo noticed the ground was glowing before both reacted and jumped away to avoid the blast as did Ruby and Glynda. Glynda then began preparing her Semblance to form the shards of the ground to form a spear to attack the criminals.
The mysterious woman began firing fire bolts at them as Torunn then dropped off Azari to the ground with Francis. Torunn then charged in sword ready with her cape fluttering in the wind as Francis grinned at this.
"Take them down babe!" Francis called out.
The woman saw Torunn flying at her with a sword and just then Roman acted by turning the handle to cause bow the attack and Torunn to grace the back. But Torunn sword left a deep gash in the haul before she circled around ready to bring down the ship.
Glynda meanwhile focused her own power and made the shards circle around as Torunn worked in unison for it. But the mysterious woman used her magic at top power before releasing a powerful burst that sent Torunn to the ground hard enough to cause the roof to be wrecked a bit. Her sword landed not too far away as she tried to get back on her feet.
James and Ruby then began firing at the woman with their weapons in gun form but she managed to block each and every bullet with ease. The woman then proceeded to swipe her arms about in turn creating a screaming sound that was about to explode.
"Avengers scatter!" James ordered as everyone panicked and moved out of the way as fast as possible. The roof went up in an explosion as Azari had jumped away with his cat like reflexes followed by Pym shrinking and flying off again, then Torunn grabbing both Francis and James while flying avoiding the explosion.
Once the chaos died down Azari cursed a bit while Pym returned to normal size. "Well… that was a riot." Pym said scratching his head a bit at their terrible first impression.
"I concur." Torunn said reaching her hand out and allowing her sword to return to her waiting hand.
Ruby though was looking torts Glynda with stars in her eyes as she smiled to the professional Huntress who stood before her. "You're a huntress." She said with a smile as Glynda looked to young Ruby. "Can I have your autograph?" Ruby asked as she looked to Glynda who had different ideas right now.
(Later at the jail)
Ruby sat in an interrogation room as she had a guilty look on her face as the woman was lecturing Ruby. "I hope you know that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly young lady." The woman lectured as she passed back and forth behind Ruby. "You had put yourself and others in great danger." The woman said as Ruby looked.
"They started it and those other kids helped me out with them!" Ruby tried to defend her actions as she had yet to learn the Next Avengers names.
"Do not worry about them they will be dealt with accordingly." Glynda said as she glared down at Ruby. "Once they are dealt with they will sent home in a way I wish to send you home. With a pat on the back." The woman said as she stood in front of the door but still close to the table. Ruby had a good feeling she might get off scotch free before the woman turned to her from her tablet of sorts. "And a slap of the wrist!" She scolded as she slapped her riding crop onto the table catching Ruby off guard as she yelped and flinched to avoid said slap.
"But someone here who would like to meet you." She said before stepping to the side as from the dark door a man in a black and green vest base suit came in holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a plate full of cookies in the other. It was none other than Ozpin as he proceeded to enter the room.
"Ruby Rose." Ozpin greeted as he got closer look to Ruby with his black tinted glasses that were in front of his topaz eyes and silver hair which seemed to move every other time he moved his head. "You have silver eyes." He said as Ruby found that to be a strange thing to say to her.
"Um... Ok." Ruby said as she was confused as to what was going on.
"Anyway where did you learn to do this?" Ozpin asked as he motioned torts the screen which showed Ruby in action alongside the young Avengers battling Roman and his crew.
"Um... Signal Academy." Ruby said nervous a bit feeling she was being integrated as the man seemed to intimidate her.
Ozpin looks closely to Ruby to her reaction and question, "They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?"
"Well, one teacher in particular," Ruby said didn't know telling the man that one person did than everyone else was a good thing or not as she didn't want to get anyone else in trouble or even lie about it, as she was raise like that.
"I see." the man said as he put down a plate of cookies in front of Ruby, and to first glance, her eyes sparkled a bit and was hesitating to grab one, as she did and ate it within a second, soon she took another, than another, and another until she was stuffing her face faster than you can say, 'Got milk?'
As the man saw how crazy ruby was eating the cookies, he wanted to get on tracked and said, "It's just I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before." Turning his head up as he remembers his past and said, "A dusty, old crow."
"Thash muh unkul!" Ruby said with her mouth full as the man raise an eyebrow to that as Ruby clear her mouth and said, "Sorry, that's my uncle Qrow. He's a teacher at signal!"
As the man took a sip of his coffee as he hear Ruby story as she went on as she said, "I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing, now I'm all like- Hoooaahh! Witchaaa!-"
Before ruby could go on, the man cut in and said, "So I noticed."
Putting down his cup of coffee and had his cane tapping the ground a bit before setting it still as he said, "Now what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?"
"Well…" Ruby began to say as she was very hyper, trying keep it down as she said, "I want to be a huntress."
"You want to slay monsters." The Headmaster said as he looked to Ruby remembering another young Huntress much like Ruby was years before now.
"Yeah... I only have two more years of training at Signal and then I'm going to apply for beacon. My sister is starting there this year and she's trying to become a Huntress and I'm trying to become a Huntress because I want to help people, my parents have always taught us to help others so I thought might as well make a career out of it police are alright but Huntresses are so much more fun romantic and." She trailed off as she seem to be excited about it. "You know?" She asked as that was a long explanation.
Glynda was silent as Ozpin looked at her with his fingertips linked together. "Do you know who I am?" The man asked as Ruby nodded.
"Your professor Ozpin you're the headmaster of Beacon." Ruby said causing the now identified Ozpin to smirk in amusement.
"Hello." Ozpin said as Ruby smiled.
"Nice to meet you." Ruby greeted as Ozpin then cut to the chase.
"You want to come to my school?" He asked almost offered.
"More than anything." Ruby said as Ozpin the looked at the blond haired woman who looked the other way trying to stay out of this.
"Well ok." Ozpin said surprising Ruby.
(Scene Break Beacon Academy Transports)
Ruby was standing before a blond bomb shell of a girl as she was dressed similar to something out of a treasure movie mixed with an old western movie as she hugged Ruby. "Oh I can't believe my baby sister is going to beacon with me." The blond haired girl said as Ruby was being hugged by her. "This is the best day ever!" She called as she hugged tighter.
"Please stop." Ruby said as she stepped back from her sister.
"But I'm so proud of you." Yang said as on her wrists were bright yellow am bands made of metal do doubt her weapon.
"Really it was nothing." Ruby said as Yang had to disagree with Ruby on this.
"What do you mean, it was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees." Yang said trying to get her sister to stop moping around.
"I don't want to be the 'bee's knees,' ok?! I don't wanna be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees." Ruby said as Yang sighed in response to her sister's nervousness.
"What's with you aren't you excited?!" Yang asked as her sister was going to Beacon she should be more happy.
"Of course I'm excited I just... I got moved ahead 2 years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything." Ruby said as she looked down showing she was in fact nervous of being here. "Plus I had help from these other guys who did a real teamwork thing." Ruby said unaware they weren't alone on the transport right now.
"But you are special." Yang assured Ruby while she began to hug her younger sister. That was of course until a new yet familiar voice spoke up.
"Well I can't say many people can pull off what you did with or without help." Came the voice of James as Ruby and Yang looked and saw the Leader of the Next Avengers walking torts them alongside Pym.
"Plus she won't be the bee's knees I will." Pym said showing he was shorter then Ruby.
"Wait who's he?" Yang asked looking to the two.
"I'm Henry Pym Jr. but everyone called me Pym and well I'm the youngest student enrolled into Beacon." Pym said causing Yang to go wide eyed.
"How old are you?" Yang asked before Pym smirked.
"12." He said as Yang was wide eyed at this.
"Sorry Ruby." Yang confessed realizing Ruby wasn't the youngest.
"James Rodgers." James said catching the sister's attention.
"Huh?" Ruby asked looking to James with confusion as to why he would say that.
"James Rodgers… I never told you my name after the thing in Vale." James said looking to Ruby who nodded and smiled to the Avenger.
"Ruby Rose." Ruby introduced before Yang gushed in response.
"Oh look at you two getting along!" Yang gushed hugging the life out of her younger half-sister. After all it's not every day Ruby makes friends so easily like that.
"Please stop!" Ruby begged as James laughed a bit.
"Anyway shield boy and short stuff. I'm Yang Xiao Long, Ruby's older sister." Yang introduced as Pym had to admit yellow was an awesome color to wear about.
"Nice to meet you." James greeted as he smiled to Yang while Pym looked around a bit.
"Hey where did Azari, Francis, and Torunn go off to?" Pym asked wondering where the other Members were.
"Well last I saw them they boarded another ship." James said remembering the other members of their marry band of misfits.
(Meanwhile with the others)
"I said I was sorry." Francis said as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes a bit.
"Well considering the other night we got arrested and then you forgot to set up your alarm we almost missed the ship because of you." Azari said as Torunn let them argue.
"It was an accident I'm still figuring this thing out." Francis said holding out the Scroll. "Besides what are you worried for you can use your reflexes and jump your way to the airport while Pym can fly and Torunn there. All I have are bows and arrows to get me there." Francis argued as Torunn had to give him props there.
"What about James?" Torunn finally added in before Azari shrugged in response to this.
"That I'm not sure I mean his parents were super soldiers so hard to tell if he got powers y'know." Francis said as that was still an ongoing debate even before they were even born.
"No argument there." Azari agreed knowing he was still trying to figure out if James had and powers or not.
(Back in the other airship)
As everyone talked and mingled they all wondered what Beacon would be like and how they will be enjoying it. That was when the news turned on to show the man from the other night on screen. "The Robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick who continues to evade authorities." The news said as a mug shot of Roman was on screen. Sirius, Rachel, Yang and Ruby paid attention as the story continued. "If you have any information on his whereabouts please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you Lisa." The news said before the anchorwoman appeared on screen.
"Thank you, Cyril. In other news this Saturdays Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the white fang disrupted the ceremony." Lisa said as on the screen it showed the people protesting followed by the White Fangs symbol that was more of a red wolf with claw marks behind it as it didn't look in anyway white. "The once peaceful organization has now disrupted." The news continued before it was cut off and was replaced with a hologram of Glynda just as the group of four to the screen.
"Hello and welcome to Beacon." Glynda welcomed as Yang look.
"Who's that?" Yang asked as she didn't recognize her.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch." Glynda introduced making Yang go "Oh." "You are among the privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious Academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace and as future huntsman and huntresses it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task and now it is our duty to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." Glynda said as James smiled at this.
"Mom and dad would have loved this." James said wondering if they would even support a school meant to train heroes.
"They'd probably call it Avengers Academy." Pym joked as this got a laugh from James.
"Oh wow." Ruby said as she looked outside the window as did many other people in the airship. "Look you can see Signal from up here." Ruby said as she watched from the window.
"I guess home isn't too far after all." Ruby said as Yang then put an arm around Ruby's shoulder.
"Beacons are home now." Yang said with a smile as James and Pym walked up to them.
"Yeah I think we can get used to this place." James said as he looked out the window to see Vale not too far away.
Soon the group of four saw another person stumbling about as he held his mouth and stomach no doubt suffering from motion sickness. "Well I guess the view isn't for everyone." Yang said before Ruby spoke up.
"Well it was a nice moment while it lasted." Ruby admitted as James nodded in agreement.
"Verily." James said quoting Torunn and her odd speech patterns.
"I wonder who we're going to meet." Yang asked while looking to Ruby and her friends.
"Hey as long they don't vomit over us like vomit boy I think we can manage." Pym said as he looked to the two girls here.
Everything was peaceful at least until Ruby noticed something on Yang's shoes. "Oh, Yang, gross you have puke on your shoes!" Ruby called as Yang was shocked at this.
"Yuck!" Pym called out shrinking to his pixie size and flew away to avoid the vomit.
"Gross." Yang said and repeated as she tried to get the vomit off on something as she hoped around a bit.
"Get away get away! Get away from me!" Ruby repeated as she didn't want to be near puke.
"Back off now!" James added in with Ruby as he had his shield out to act as a buffer between himself and Yang.
(With Salem)
"Watts any news to report?" Salem asked as she looked to Watts who looked… bothered.
"Yes mistress but I regret to inform you it's not good news." Watts said before showing the information on the children she had requested.
Salem opened it and save for photos on recent exploits and what Cinder had managed to inform her there was nothing on them. "Are you sure this is accurate?" Salem asked looking to Watts.
"Of course mistress in fact the failed attack on that Village was the first anyone had ever seen of these children. No birth records, no information, not even fingerprints or criminal records could be found on them. It was as if they just appeared out of nowhere." Watts said to which Salem grew concerned by this.
"Yet the girl shows powers akin to a Maiden." Salem mused while thinking it over. These children were wild cards and if what Cinder added to this was true then Ozpin has those wild cards in his possession. Salem hated wildcards unless they were in her hands as she needed to go about this carefully.
"Watts inform Cinder to keep close tabs on those children." Salem said looking to Watts. "If they have no prior records then by all likely hood Ozpin will possibly use his own connections to make records for them as to not arouse suspicion on their appearance here. I want to know everything and anything she can find on them." Salem ordered but she wasn't done. "If that girl is a maiden that had managed to stay hidden for so long I want to know and if she is not then I Want her either on our side or dealt with." Salem ordered knowing Torunn was the strongest of the five and nothing short of the infamous Hulk could challenge her.
Salem was intrigued by Torunn and knew if she could acquire the girl for her side then she could deal a powerful blow against Ozpin. After all they were wild cards in the face of things and Salem wanted access to said wild card by any means necessary. But unaware to her she failed to count for things beyond any of their control… of things that will soon to come and show Salem the weapon the Gods fear most in the world.
(Meanwhile in a museum)
A display case showed a bladed staff inside as it seems to be good as new yet at the same time ancient as time itself. Upon its tip where the scepters crystal laid was glowing that unknown to many held a powerful item inside it. Things were about to change and with it the Avengers would be needed seeing as the Infinity Stones are coming into play soon real soon.
(In Ozpin's office)
Ozpin was facing Forest as the man put a resume and the job offer on the table before him. "I see you thought the offer over." Ozpin said as he was glad Forest would no longer run.
"Yes… and even though I'm sure you sent Glynda to do it your both right… someone is after the Hulk and if they get the Hulk… I don't think it could be stopped." Forest said knowing how powerful the Hulk can be and he dared not think of just HOW powerful the Hulk can possibly become.
"Very well you start as soon as possible when the year begins after initiation this year." Ozpin said while looking to Forest.
"I understand." Forest said knowing he will start as a teaching assistant here. "And… thank you." Forest said before taking his leave of the office as Ozpin had much to think about.
"I suppose that day is coming for Remnant a day unlike any other." Ozpin mused knowing how the origin story of how the Avengers came together and in a way he was reenacting it in Remnant. "Avengers Assemble." Ozpin mused as by tomorrow if all was right the Avengers would be assembled in Beacon Academy.
