Next Avengers Heroes of Remnant
ESKK: New chapter let's begin.
*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 Emerald Forest with Yang)
"Helloooooo?!" Yang called as she was walking through the forest with swamp sounds being heard in the background unaware something moving in the forest. "Is anyone out there? Helloooooo!?" Yang called as she was looking for a partner. "I'm getting bored here." Yang said as she stopped to see if anyone would answer. That was when she heard the bushes rustling as she looked to that direction. "Is someone there?" Yang asked as she looked to the bushes before heading over to the bushes. "Ruby is that you?" Yang asked before hearing beast snarling. Yang looked and saw that it was in fact not Ruby at all. "Nope." Yang said popping the p sound as she saw the Grimm before her.
Yang then jumped out of the way to avoid being clawed by an Ursa as the Ursa jumped out to attack. Yang activated Ember Celica as soon another Ursa came out from behind opting Yang to jump and avoid the attack. The Ursa to the right roared as it then charged at Yang who then proceeded to punch the Ursa sending it back with a shot gun punch just before its cohort attacked as Yang then sent an uppercut punch which was followed up by a kick sending the Ursa back.
"You guys wouldn't happen to have seen a Girl in a red hood would you?" Yang asked as she looked to the two Ursa while mocking them. The Ursa roared before charging as Yang smirked to this. "You could just say no!" Yang called as the Ursa then charged at Yang who dodged their attacks with ease before she back flipped away while avoiding said attack. Yang laughed at them as these things were one of the more common Grimm who were physically stronger so they were easy-peasy for her.
Yang laughs at the Ursa as she said, "Geez, you two couldn't hit the broad side of a ba..." Her words trail off as a single blonde hair fall in front of her, from her head.
Yang closes her violet eyes for a moment as she said, "You… You!"
Yang open her eyes as now they were bright red as she yells, "Monsters!" Fire exploded around her before she launch herself at the two Ursa, as at this moment, you do not want to be in their shoes.
Yang punch the crap out of one Ursa before she sent it back, and then she fire her behind her, propelling her forward at high speed and came upon the same Ursa before she unleashed all of her fury upon the Ursa that dare touch her hair and cut a single piece off as she blow it out making it hit into many tree and killing it soon after.
The other Ursa came up from behind her as she hear it coming up, she turn to it as she face the Grimm and said, "What! You want some, too?!"
The Ursa was soon about to attack her, but from behind with the sound of a sword slash, the Ursa stop in its tracks, and then drop down dead, as standing behind it holding a black rope on their weapon, was Blake who Yang had met the other Night with Ruby. Blake pull out her weapon as she tug on the rope as it flew into her hand in a gun mode, as she gave a smile while holding it as Yang said, "I could've taken him."
(Over with James and Weiss)
James blocked an attack with his shield being knocked back a bit as Weiss was the same minus the shield and using her briefcase. The two were back to back as they saw the Grimm surrounding them. "Weiss were outnumbered!" James called out as she looked to the boy.
"I have to agree proper stance be damned." Weiss said as James had his gun out behind his shield.
"How long will it take you to get that armor on?" James said before he fired at a Grimm that tried to attack and Weiss slashed one away with a Glyph added in.
"Not enough as is." Weiss said as James had an idea.
"We'll buy you time!" James said as Weiss was confused.
"We?" She asked before James did it.
"Ruby on the roost!" James called out and just then Ruby appeared in a burst of rose petals slashing a Grimm monster away.
"Gotcha!" Ruby called out taking one out with ease. "Don't worry best friend we got your back!" Ruby called out as she and James started buying Weiss time.
"Ok… here we go." Weiss said as she had her rapier retract to its hilt before she inserted it into the briefcase opening it. She then dropped it to the ground and in turn it opened up and released to handles. Both of which Weiss grabbed before turning the handles and making gauntlets before moving the build to her chest.
The briefcase began to open up further and spread out on her body as the armor was doing the work now instead. Ruby even stopped what she was doing for a second to watch this and took a picture with her Scroll. "So cool!" Ruby cheered before jumping back into the fight trying not to have a weapon fangirl orgasm right now.
Soon the helmet the final piece began to from and then closed on her face creating the Ironheart Mk.5 armor. Once she was suited up she raised her repulse gauntlets and fired a beam from them at the Grimm. She then did a few more as the Grimm saw Ironheart had now joined the fight.
Ruby went around the Grimm slicing them up with her scythe as Ironheart helped a bit. James then threw his shield hitting multiple shield with it while firing his weapon off at the other ones. He then jumped up and grabbed his shield before slamming it down on one's neck. Weiss fired at another Grimm near James but one came and hit her instead causing her target to miss.
Luckily James recovered by using his Vibranium Shield to reflect the beam at the intended target beating it with ease.
(Weiss)
"Jarvis please tell me we have something to take all these Grimm down at once?" Weiss asked while paying attention to her onscreen hub as Jarvis had just the thing.
"I suggest a barrier burst Ms. Schnee." Jarvis said to which Weiss understood.
(Battle)
"Take cover!" Weiss called out as James and Ruby understood and hid behind James shield. Soon the armor was covered in a barrier before it burst out and took out all the Grimm at once.
Once the danger was passed James took action. "Come on!" James called out as they made a run for it.
(Later nearby)
"That was so cool!" Ruby called out as she got to see the Ironheart armor in action and in person to boot.
"Ruby now isn't the time to fawn over Weiss' armor." James said as he looked to Ruby.
"She's right we need to get to the Ruins." Weiss said as she looked to the duo as the face mask opened up revealing Weiss face.
"We need to find something we can use to keep up with you." James said as Weiss agreed.
"Yeah this armor has limited energy reserves and I don't want to waste it carrying you two." Weiss said as James thought for a minute.
"Weiss question… where can we find a Nevermore?" James asked as he had an idea as did Ruby.
"Oh you are a genius." Ruby said looking to James as Weiss had a bad feeling about this and that bad feeling involves a really reckless idea somehow.
(Meanwhile over with Pym)
"Azari!" Pym was heard as he flew around. "James!" Pym continued while he tried to stay hidden from the Grimm in his tiny pixie form. "Hawkeye Torunn!" Pym called out but was met with silence and the sound of the Forest.
Unaware to him a familiar pair of eyes appeared in the bushes before they moved through them. In the wood line a familiar figure was running and jumping through the trees almost like a cat or a panther. "Geez why do we have to do this here?" Pym asked as he was scared obviously but he had to prevail through it. But then he saw a shadow form over him after landing on a rock and before he could retaliating two hands slapped around him causing Pym to yelp.
It was Azari as he began to open his hands and saw Pym clearly not amused by this. "Hey Pym." Azari greeted as Pym jumped off his hands and returned to his normal short size.
"Azari that was not funny!" Pym yelled pointing an accusing finger at Azari.
"Yeah well be glad I found you because now we're partners." Azari said to which Pym had to agree on that. "SO come on we need to get to the ruins." Azari said before he flipped back into the forest and began to run there.
"Hey wait up!" Pym called out before going small again and flying after Azari. It seems one pair had been made with the Avengers which meant they were off to a good start.
(Meanwhile with Francis)
Francis was showing his skill as a survivor as he checked tracks and followed the path left behind by others. So far he was on the right track as he wondered where the other Avengers were. He didn't have any powers and his Aura had yet to fail him which was a good thing for him. Since he knew the Grimm hunted using negative emotions as a sort of lure he had to be careful less he attracts them to himself.
He then heard a stick break and then acted as he flipped over and aimed his bow with an arrow notched up. He then it as a pair of large reptilian eyes were seen in the wood lines. Soon it began to slither out revealing a King Taijitu the white half in fact. These things were two headed so that meant the other head must be near. It seems his hunch was right as Francis fired an arrow at one of the eyes and in turn the other Snake head came and attacked him.
He managed to get out of the line of attack in time and fired another arrow this time at the other eye of its twin. The arrow began to beep before it went off and thus one of the heads was blinded as he managed to nail both with one arrow.
The brother in vengeance for its twin attacked Francis who then got out of the way and saw the twin using its tongue to taste the air. Francis smirked before he jumped off the twin and fired an arrow at its tongue and in turn blinding all its senses. But before Francis could enjoy it he heard the black head roar out and began its attack. He didn't have enough time to attack until a Thunder strike hit it and with it a sword. The Sword managed to pin the Grimm and from it Torunn flew in roaring out her battle cry.
"For Asgard!" Torunn roared out before grabbing her sword and decapitating the Grimm. Francis smirked and then ran to the other head and stuffed a powerful exploding arrow in its mouth at the top before getting out of the way.
The Grimm's head then blew up and in turn he and Torunn reunited. "Way to go babe." Francis said as Torunn looked lost at that comment.
"Babe I am no infant Hawkeye." Torunn countered but Francis sighed.
"It's an expression Torunn a word of endearment." Francis said as Torunn got some of that. "Anyway we better get moving any idea where the ruins are?" Francis asked while looking to Torunn.
"Yes I hath seen them over yonder I shall guide ye to it." Torunn said to which she began to fly as Francis followed close after the Asgardian.
(With Jaune and Pyrrha)
As the pairing walk down a path as soon enough gun fire is hear in the distant as Jaune said, "Did you hear that?"
Gunfire. It seems some of our comrades have encountered the enemy," Pyrrha said as now she gotten a bit worry as thing were picking up, as the more they went into the forest, the more Grimm they running into.
Pyrrha push a tree branch off to the side with Jaune following, and without paying attention to ether of them as Pyrrha let go, Jaune turn his head and saw the branch coming at him with no time to block or dodge it, its hit him hard as he fell down yep in pain a bit as Pyrrha turn around quickly as she heard that and said, "Jaune! I'm sorry!"
Jaune gave a small laugh as he held his hand on his face for a moment before letting off seeing little blood and said, "It's okay just a scratch!"
Pyrrha walked up to him as Jaune got up on his own as Pyrrha asked, "Why didn't you activate your Aura?"
"Huh?"
"You're Aura."
"Gesundheit."
Pyrrha looked at Jaune a little weirdly as she said, "Jaune, do you... know what Aura is?"
Jaune piffs it, and then waves it off, while not looking at her as he said, "Psch! Of course I do! Do you know what Aura is?"
Pyrrha gave a soft smile and said, "Aura is the manifestation of our soul. It bears our burdens and shields our hearts. Have you ever felt you were being watched without knowing that someone was there?"
"Uh... yeah."
"With practice, our Aura can be our shield. Everyone has it, even animals," Pyrrha told Jaune as she held her arms out like she blocking an attack of some sort.
"What about monsters?"
Pyrrha shake her head as she said, "No. The monsters we fight lack a soul. They are creatures of Grimm, the manifestation of anonymity. They are the darkness, and we are the light."
"Right, that's why we fight them!"
"It's not about why, it's about knowing." Pyrrha explained as Jaune looked to Pyrrha. "Understanding both light and dark helps us, manifest our aura. Everyone has some of both. By baring your soul outward as a force you can deflect harm. All of our tools and equipment are our conduits for aura. You project yourself and your soul with fighting." Pyrrha explained as she looked to Jaune as she smiled at Jaune as she stood before him.
"It's like a force field!" Jaune said as that was a good analogy right there.
"Yes, if you wanna look at it that way." Pyrrha said in a slight joking manner as it may be true. "Now close your eyes and concentrate." She said as she walked over to Jaune and put her hand to the side of his face.
Jaune nodded as he did so as Pyrrha walk up to him and sync her aura as she begin to help unlock Jaune aura as she says, "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death."
Pyrrha place her hand on Jaune chest as she touch his soul as she said, "I release your soul, and by my shoulder protect thee." Pyrrha chanted as she unlocked Jaune's Aura.
Once the deed was done Pyrrha let go as she began to catch her breath as that was very draining. "Pyrrha?" Jaune called as he saw how winded Pyrrha was.
It's alright, I used my aura to unlock yours, but the energy that protects you is now your own." Pyrrha said as she smiled to Jaune and got back up. Pyrrha smiled as the cut on Jaune's face healed up as that was surprising. "You have a lot of it." Pyrrha said as she saw the cut was all healed in an instant.
Jaune smiled before he saw himself as he was glowing. "Wow." Jaune said as was amazed by it.
(With Ren)
Ren the green wearing black haired young man with a pink streak in it as the young Chinese monk like initiate was dusting his arms off after putting his guns away. Soon the sound of a crow or a bird through a familiars girl voice was heard followed by a familiar dragons roar and grumble as soon Nora came in upside down as the peppy girl was hanging upside down with a smile on her face.
"Heh. I still don't think that's what a Sloth sounds like." Ren said as he smiled at Nora before Nora acted.
"Boop." Nora said poking Ren's nose as the two smiled before Ren stepped back a bit from that.
(Meanwhile at the Beacon Cliff)
Glynda walked up to Ozpin as she looked at her Scroll in its Tablet mode as with it was a message for Ozpin from someone known simply as known only as Proto. "Our last pair had been formed, sir. Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy I can't possibly imagine those two getting along." Glynda said as it didn't make sense to her. "Still, he's probably better off then Mrs. Nikos." Glynda said causing Ozpin to look at her with curiosity. "I don't care what his transcripts say, that Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat. Well I guess we'll find out soon enough." Glynda said in a scolding manner as she saw the scene. "At their current pace, they should reach the temple within just a few minutes." Glynda said as she began to walk away but then stopped and looked to Ozpin.
"Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year?" Glynda asked as Ozpin didn't answer before Glynda had another question. "Professor I also feel I need to inform you that James has yet to form a pair are you sure it's wise what your about to do seeing as traditionally teams have been formed out of four members." Glynda said as she knew that James and his friends were needed at Beacon for one reason or another.
"We shall see." Ozpin said as he observed the event on his scroll mainly that of James, Weiss, and Ruby mission.
(With Ruby, Weiss, and James)
The trio found a sleeping Nevermore as they could even hear it snoring as they stayed outside its range silently with Weiss still in her Ironheart armor.
"This is insane." Weiss scolded while she glared at James and Ruby who had this idea to begin with.
"No one is telling you to help." James said as they got ready to move. "When we give the signal wake it up." James said as he and Ruby began to make their way to the sleeping Nevermore for the plan.
(With Yang and Blake)
Yang, and Blake have just arrived at the temple. "Think this is it?" Yang asked as Blake gave her a quick glare before they entered the area to check it out.
What to it appeared to be and old temple or church of sort, and everything look destroy and decay to the sands of time, as the only thing that seem to be stand where many small stone pillars with a chess pieces on top of them, a few with already gone.
Yang and Blake reach the area, as they looked around to yang said, "This got to be the place." Blake looked around to see if there was any enemy nearby just in case. Blake then walked up to the chess pieces as this was odd even for her as she looked at them. "Chess pieces?" Blake asked as she looked at said Chess Pieces before them all.
"Some of them are missing." Yang said as she looked at the missing chess pieces. "Looks like we weren't the first ones here." Yang said as she looked to where the missing pieces once stood.
"Well… I guess we pick one." Blake said as they needed to decide the pieces they would take from here.
(With Jaune and Pyrrha)
A the two paired up partners look at a cave with cave drawing on the side of it as Jaune said, "Think this is it?"
(Inside the Cave)
Jaune who had made a torch was taking the lead as Pyrrha followed close behind. "I not sure this is it..." Pyrrha said as she followed causing Jaune to sigh.
"Pyrrha, I made the torch." He began as she gestured to, said torch. "Could you at least humor me for maybe 5 more feet?" Jaune asked before he tripped with a yelp and dropped the Torch into a puddle as the puddle put out the fire. "Ow." Jaune whined as he got back up in the now pitch black cave.
"Do you feel that?" Pyrrha asked as she felt something off as she looked around.
"Soul crushing Regret?" Jaune asked but that wasn't what Pyrrha was talking about.
"No, it's... warm." Pyrrha said as something wasn't right as there may be something in there with them.
(At the Ruins)
Going up to the gold chess pieces as Yang grab the knight piece as she said, "How about a nice little pony?"
"Sure." Blake said as she let Yang take the White Knight.
"That wasn't too hard." Yang said as they passed now they had to get back to Beacon.
"Well it's not like this place is very difficult to find." Blake said as it really wasn't that hard to find.
(With Jaune and Pyrrha)
Jaune and Pyrrha continued walking down the dark cave as they soon saw the darkness was letting up as it made way for light. They soon found a large glowing yellow object as Jaune had a smile on his face. "That's the relic!" Jaune called as he saw it but Pyrrha knew better because it was far too big. Jaune reached for it as it looked suspended in the air as when he made a swipe for it the 'relic,' moved as Jaune missed as Pyrrha knew this wasn't a good sign. "Hey. Bad Relic!" Jaune said as he made another swipe at it and missed. Jaune then jumped to it and grabbed it as he smiled. "Gotcha!" He said as he was being lifted up.
"Jaune..." Pyrrha said as she saw this.
Jaune was soon faced to face with the glowing red face of a Death Stalker as he was soon wide eyed.
(Ruins)
The two heard the sound of a girls screaming as Yang looked as she heard it. "Some girls' in trouble." Yang cried out as Blake was looking up. "Blake did you hear that?" Yang asked as she looked straight at Blake. "What should we do?" Yang asked as she looked to Blake worried for the screaming girl in question.
(Over with Azari and Pym)
"Wow someone is in trouble!" Azari called out while stopping on the ground.
"WE have to do something!" Pym said as he looked to Azari whose view was changed to the one above them. "Azari what do we do!" Pym called but it seems Azari's focus was elsewhere.
(Over with Torunn and Francis)
"A maiden is in distress!" Torunn called out as she heard the yell.
"Yeah and Torunn can we ride Grimm?" Francis asked seeing something insane.
"Have ye cracked?! A maiden hath been put in danger and ye are concerned with riding a monster of the Grimm!" Torunn scolded before pointing upward. Torunn look and saw Ironheart flying by with a Grimm close behind her. On its back were James and Ruby as they held on for dear life.
"James are you nuts!?" Torunn yelled in shock before the two began to move once more.
(Back with Jaune and Pyrrha)
Soon after Jaune's girly scream from the cave Pyrrha ran out with weapons drawn ready to fight if need be. Soon the cave burst apart as from it a Death Stalker came out with Jaune hanging on its stinger screaming like a little girl.
"WHY? PYRRHA! PYRRHA!" Jaune called between screams as he was hanging onto the Death Stalkers tail. "This is not the relic! It's not!" Jaune cried out before screaming some more. "Do something!" Jaune called as he hanged on for dear life.
"Jaune! Whatever you do, don't let-" Pyrrha began as the Death Stalker tried to shake Jaune off before flinging Jaune off the stinger. "...go." Pyrrha said as Jaune flew through the air screaming all the way through The Forest airspace. Pyrrha smiled nervously as she scratched her head a bit before she ran off like the wind being chased by devils and in some cases it was true.
(Later back at the Ruins)
Blake kept looking up as Yang tried to get an opinion as screaming was being heard as Yang then looked up to see a familiar red girl coming in. "Look out below/Heads up!" James and Ruby called out as the two shared a shocked look as they fell from the sky with Ironheart flying nearby.
(Minutes earlier)
"This is awesome!" Ruby cheered as she and James were riding on the back of a Nevermore as it chased a target which was Ironheart.
(Weiss)
"This is a terrible idea!" Weiss yelled as the Nevermore chased after her acting as a beacon of negativity for it.
"Ms. Schnee this is hardly as reckless as the ideas you come up with." Jarvis said as Weiss glared at the AI for that.
"Not now Jarvis!" Weiss yelled as she did not need this from him now.
(Back with Ruby and James)
"I don't think Weiss likes this idea!" Ruby called as James rolled his eyes.
"You think?" He countered as it was clear he was being sarcastic. He then saw their destination as he knew what came next. "Get ready to jump!" James called out as Ruby saw the ruins coming up.
(Weiss)
"Wait jump?!" Weiss asked in shock when she heard this. "Are you two insane?!" She yelled but was only met with silence.
"Ms. Schnee… they jumped." Jarvis said as Weiss was starting to question why she programed Jarvis with that smart aleck tone.
(Back with Blake and Yang)
Blake pointed upward as Yang followed the point and was wide eyed when she saw James and Ruby falling down. "Look out below/Heads up!" James and Ruby called out as the two shared a shocked look as they fell from the sky with Ironheart flying nearby.
Before impact can occur, Ruby and Gold were struck by Jaune in a mid-air interception. The three ended up crashing into a tree and Ruby was sitting on branch with swirly eyes, seeing Beowolves with Gold having his foot hanging by a branch. "What was that?" She wondered before shaking her head, clearing her mind.
She soon heard someone and looked to see Jaune hanging upside down from the branch above her. "Hey, guys." Jaune greeted. Meanwhile everyone was confused over what just happened.
"Did your sister just fall out of the sky with that guy just now?" Blake asked as she was lost on this.
"I-." Yang started but before they heard a roar. The two girls kept their guard up as they saw a rampaging Ursa.
"Yee-haw!" A female voice said before the Ursa fell dead, revealing Nora at its back. She got off and noticed the Ursa's state. "Aww, it's broken." She pouted. Nora examined it while Ren caught up.
"Nora…please, don't ever do that again." Ren pleaded as he was catching his breath. He looked up to see Nora missing. He looked around and saw Nora looking at a white bishop piece. She picked it up and cheered.
"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" She sang while the others were staring at her.
"Nora!" Ren called.
"Coming, Ren!" Nora answered before skipping towards him.
"Did that girl just came here riding an Ursa?" Blake asked.
"I-." Yang started only for two roars from opposite ends of the forest. Out of one end came Pyrrha running from a huge Death Stalker
Soon another Grimm appeared as from the other side with Pym and Azari riding on its back. "We made it!" Pym called out as Azari saw this and then used the Wakanda to slice the Ursa's neck killing it instantly. Once he did this the two jumped off as they went to regroup with the others and grab their chess piece.
"Uh…" Blake began but Yang stopped her.
"Don't." Yang began as the Death Stalker chased after Pyrrha.
Soon thunder struck nearby and from it Torunn was seen as she landed before Francis came out of the woodwork and ran to the group. "Hey we made it!" Francis said as their entire group was almost together.
"Did… that girl just appear from a thunderbolt?" Blake asked as even Yang was lost.
"Um cool and I think." Yang said as she was getting lost in all of this insanity.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha called as she was dodging the Death Stalker's pincers.
Jaune looked and saw her before trying to get down. "Pyrrha!" He called after her.
"Woah!" Ruby remarked before jumping off the branch to take on the foes.
"Ruby!" Jaune called, who is now a little too late on calling for help from the scythe wield girl. She landed near Yang as James saw this.
"Wait up!" James called out before using the shield to break the branch and fell to the ground before giving chase.
"James!" Jaune called out but it was too late.
"James!" Pym called out as he and Azari caught up.
"Azari!" James called out before Torunn saw them.
"Guys!" Francis called after them.
"Torunn!" Azari called out before and Yang joined in but was interrupted by…
"PYM!" Pym called out as they got lost during the whole name calling.
"Ruby?" Yang called surprised to see Ruby here.
"Yang!" Ruby cheered happy to see Yang but before the family reunion can occur, they interrupted by…
"Nora!" Nora said as she got in between them.
"Did she just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail?" Blake asked as this was becoming more and more confusing by the second.
It was then that Yang finally snapped unable to take the insanity anymore. "I can't take it anymore!" Yang screamed after bursting a few flames from her body and her eyes turned red. "Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again!" Yang screamed, putting emphasis on "crazy". Ren then caught up with the group.
Ruby just remembered something and tugged on Yang's jacket. Yang then just gave up on it.
"Um…Yang?" Ruby called before pointing upwards.
They looked up and saw Ironheart firing repulse blasts at the Grimm as it seemed tougher than normal. "A little help would be appreciated!" Ironheart called out as she flew around the Nevermore trying to beat it and get the relic.
(Weiss)
"Jarvis flash bomb now!" Weiss called out as Jarvis saw what the plan was.
(Battle)
Ironheart then had a segment of her armor open up before it launched out a flash grenade that went off in the Nevermore's face. Once it did so she flew down and regrouped with the others. Once she did this she performed the famous superhero landing. "We are never doing that again!" Weiss yelled while opening her face plate.
Soon everyone saw the Death Stalker knock Pyrrha to where they were all at. "Great, the gang's all here. Now we can die together!" Yang cheered.
"Not if I have anything to say about." Ruby said before charging at the Death Stalker.
"Ruby, wait!" Yang called but Ruby charged regardless of the danger.
But then Ironheart flew at her and stopped her and just in time as soon a burst of some energy came out and when the Grimm were hit by it their bodies began to bend and deform with the sounds of bones breaking. The Grimm were being given a death most painful as soon both turned to dust.
Once they did they soon saw a familiar figure walking out with hands glowing with energy. "Oh boy." Ironheart said knowing exactly who this was.
"You know him?" Yang asked as she saw him.
"The Mandarin insane madman with powers never seen before." Ironheart said as she saw the ancient warlord walk into the open.
"Super villain." Ruby said as she knew one when she saw one.
"Yeah how many rings does he have?" Pym asked as Weiss saw them.
"Five so he hasn't found all 10 yet." Weiss said confirming this right now.
"Children?" The Mandarin asked as he saw the group. "Does Ozma have children protecting him now? The coward?!" Mandarin growled out as he walked forth.
That was when he was blasted back by a repulser beam which came from Weiss's right hand. "No but if you want him you best turn around now." Weiss said as she glared at him.
"Ironheart… or Weiss Schnee I sometimes forget the failed ploy of a 'secret identity,' but then again secrecy never suited you did it." Mandarin said glaring at Weiss as she got up. "The last time we met you send me into the jungles of Vacuo baring me from one of my rings." He said pointing at Weiss clearly holding a grudge against the Schnee heiress.
"Yes and I'm afraid it will end the same way." Weiss said as the Mandarin smirked in response to this.
"How boastful of you." The Mandarin said as he then pointed his fist at the group to which the armor scanned it.
(Weiss)
"Ms. Schnee it seems he has the fifth ring that is one more since you last bested him." Jarvis said as Weiss heard this.
"That means he took down the dragon guarding it." Weiss responded as she had to be careful.
"Also it appears he's about to attack." Jarvis said as Weiss was wide eyed by this.
"WHAT?!" She called out in a panic.
(Battle)
The Mandarin fired off a thunder surge at Weiss and the group but Torunn jumped in with sword drawn blocking the attack. Her blade absorbed the current leaving him shocked. "WHAT?!" He asked as Torunn glared at him.
"That power is great but thy trinkets is no match for the power of an Asgardian warrior!" Torunn yelled as James took command fast.
"Scatter now!" James ordered as everyone did as told. "Ruby Hawkeye you two hit him from a distance we need to know what he can do!" James called out as Ruby understood.
"Got it!" Ruby called as she and Francis went for a vantage point.
"Keep up short-stuff." Francis called out as he went to have a sniper nest ready.
"Yang you and Ren support Torunn while Blake you try and find us something soft to hit!" James ordered just as the Mandarin cut off the energy.
Weiss then fired a duel repulser beam at the Mandarin as he then created a barrier around himself. It then burst out with electricity before Nora came in with a grin. "Nora SMASH!" Nora called out showing she was one of the few people in the world who liked the Hulk as she smashed the hammer on the shield. The current was then absorbed into her as she began charging up her semblance as James saw this.
"Nora you and Azari will be with Torunn on this hit him fast and hit him hard!" James called out as he had a plan coming along.
"Got it!" Azari said as he and Nora went to help Torunn out.
"Jaune you and Pyrrha will get close and keep him on his toes don't give him room to attack!" James called out as Jaune heard this.
"Um… yeah sure." Jaune said as tad bit nervous on this plane of James.
"Pym you and me will help Weiss out she knows this guy so she knows how to go about this." James said as he got ready for it.
"I can handle him on my own!" Weiss called out before James got in front and blocked an energy blast from the Mandarin with his shield.
"Weiss this isn't about you he's after someone and clearly it's not for a play date and we also have innocent people involved if we don't stop him people will get hurt!" James called out as Weiss thought about it.
'Just like what father did with the company.' Weiss thought remember the fact her father basically sold weapons to the White Fang to further his financial agenda while also painting them as the bad guys. "Ok his powers come from the rings but without them he's already pretty strong each ring has a power of its own. Purple controls thunder, green is his energy blast attacks, blue is water, red is fire, and Yellow is Ice." Weiss said as she glared to the initiates. "And this is only a one-time thing understand?" Weiss said as James would agree for now.
"Alright then we have the game plan! Avengers Assemble!" James called out as they all moved into action.
"Nice catch phrase!" Yang called out as she and Ren charged at the Mandarin.
"I have no quarrel with you but if you aid this Iron Wench then you will die just like her!" He roared out before firing another energy beam. Yang and Ren dodged the attack as they slid out of the way. Pyrrha came in with her Javelin in rifle mode and began firing at the Mandarin. He then produced an energy shield to block it but he failed to account for Ruby and Francis. He was hit in a, blindside by Francis and Ruby together.
The Mandarin glared out as he was soon being stung by Pym as he tried to swat him away. Pym dodged the oncoming attacks before he was attacked by Azari and Nora. Nora swung her hammer at the Mandarin while Azari used his weapons claws to try and trip the ancient overlord up. The Mandarin managed summoned his flames and sent it out knocking them back only for Yang to start fist fighting him.
"Oh tin can you're going back to the stone age!" Yang yelled as she sent punches at him. Ren then came in and went for his head as he began slashing at the head in question. The Mandarin then send out Ice at Yang before he grabbed Ren and slammed him into Yang just in time to have Weiss fly in with the uni-beam and with it her glyphs firing off ice spikes.
The Mandarin dodged the spikes and used his barrier to block the beam but Weiss powered it on. Torunn then came and absorbed the power from the barrier into her sword and in turn leaving the Mandarin to take the hit.
He was sent flying back from the attack only for him to summon the barrier again and use it to cushion the fall. The Mandarin came at them again only for James to throw his shield at him. The Mandarin didn't see it coming so when he was hit by the spinning shield it returned to James hands. This distraction allowed the Mandarin to be left open as Jaune and Pyrrha came in slashing swords at him. He then fired an energy beam at Pyrrha who blocked it with her shield but was sent flying back into a few trees.
Following this up, he proceeded to grab Jaune by the head before flying forth and grinding him against the ground. His aura protected him but the Mandarin then threw him aside refusing to waste his energy on the weakest link.
"Fall back we need more ground!" James called out as everyone did as told knowing James knew exactly what he was doing. They made a run for it as the Mandarin gave chase clearly not taking well to being harassed by these mosquitos.
(At the deeper ruins)
Once they got to the bridge they saw it would lead them to Beacon as they stopped at the gate and turned around. "Ok we make our stand here! The Mandarin does NOT get through here understood!" James called out as he was with his friends with Jaune being accompanied by Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha, and Ruby is being joined with Weiss, Blake, and Yang.
The Mandarin then appeared and summoned his magic causing the bridge to come apart behind them. "You will die!" He roared out sending the bridge pieces at them in a powerful burst. He even used the Energy Ring to fire a powerful beam at them. The results was as expected as they were knocked to the other side of the bridge save for a few.
"Guys!" James called out seeing Blake, Ruby, Francis, Jaune, and Yang falling before Torunn got into action. Pym could handle himself as could Weiss. But both Weiss and Torunn grabbed Ruby, Yang, Jaune, and Francis. Torunn managed to grab Jaune and Francis while Weiss went for Ruby and Yang.
But Weiss only managed to grab the two but missed Blake by an inch. "No!" Weiss called but Blake had a hunch this could happen.
Blake then acted and responded by using her sword and slashing at it with both sword and sheath as she had already pulled her sword back. Torunn once she dropped off the boys grabbed Blake and the group managed to regroup.
"He's tougher than we thought." Blake said as Weiss saw this and knew from firsthand experience.
"You have no idea." Weiss said before James came in.
"Then we need to hit him with everything we got." James said before Jaune had an idea.
"Wait those rings they flash to life every time he uses one of them." Jaune said as he had an idea.
"Ok and?!" Yang asked as then Pym saw the idea.
"We keep the groupings and have each group attack based on what ring he uses." Pym said seeing the strategy.
"Exactly!" Jaune called out as Ruby saw how this idea could work.
"Here he comes!" Ruby called out as they all got into positions fast.
The Mandarin fired off his ice shards at them to which James, Jaune, Pyrrha, Weiss, and Torunn got to a defensive line with shields and Glyphs. Torunn spun her sword around by its strap creating a shield of her own to protect her friends and allies. Once the attack let up Blake, Ruby, and Francis jumped in firing at their foe. The Mandarin fired off his Energy Blast from the green ring and a fire attack from the red ring forcing the two to avoid it.
The Mandarin then caught an arrow in his hand curtesy of Francis as he looked to see him hanging on a legs with his legs hooked to it. Francis then smirked as the Mandarin then heard a beeping sound before the arrow head exploded knocking him down to the ground. AS the Mandarin got back up James and Blake charged in as James transformed his Widow Magnum into its sword form. He began slashing at the Mandarin and bashing him with his shield before jumping back allow Blake to take over. The Mandarin tried to attack her but Blake with her semblance left an after image in her place to take the blow for her. Following up Blake was Pyrrha and Yang as Pyrrha used her skills to throw the Mandarin off his feet before Ren ran around firing at him. Then Yang began to hit him with Ember Celica as the Mandarin was losing his foot ground here.
He then fired off his purple rings power and in turn Torunn and Nora came in and absorbed the power from it. Once they had the juice Weiss came in and fired off her repulser blasts at the Mandarin. Nora then came at him and swung her hammer about and in turn sending him flying back by Nora's raw uncontrollable power.
"Torunn fire the lightning at Weiss!" James called out as the Mandarin got back on his feet.
"What?" Weiss asked in shock to this.
"I will not be defeated here you worthless insects!" The Mandarin roared out as he got back on his feet.
"On it!" Torunn called as she began to aim at Weiss.
"WHAT!?" She called in shock and in turn Torunn did as told.
She raised her sword to the sky and channeled her power before she released it torts Weiss who tried to block it. Weiss cried out in shock as everyone was shocked at this plan of James. Once the lightning let up Weiss with a few burn marks on her armor was ok and alive. In fact she was better than ok if you could see her screen.
(Weiss)
"Ms. Schnee power is at 400%." Jarvis said as Weiss was shocked at hearing this.
"Well that was unexpected." Weiss said realizing what James had told Torunn to do.
(Battle)
Weiss then fired off both repulser beams and the uni-beam and hit the Mandarin dead on with it. Azari and Pym then came in as Azari slashed at the Mandarin with his claws before jumping away. Before the Mandarin could attack Pym went low and then grew to his giant size causing those who saw it to be surprised. The Mandarin of course was sent to the sky before Ruby saw James.
"James heads up!" Ruby called out as James got ready and in turn Ruby landed on his shield using Crescent Rose. James then pushed up while Ruby shot off a bullet launching herself to the sky where the Mandarin was. She then spun with her scythe and slammed the Mandarin back to the ground hard enough to create a crater from the blow.
The groups began to gather around the Mandarin's crater their weapons drawn just in case. Soon they saw the smoke burst out revealing the Mandarin but he then fell to his knees as it was clear he was tapped out. "To be bested by children… how shameful." The Mandarin growled as he clenched his fist that held the five rings.
"Give up and turn yourself in." Weiss said as she had her armors weapons all aimed at the Mandarin.
"No… I won't… lose HERE!" HE roared out releasing a current of thunder from the purple ring to create a distraction. Before any of them could respond the Mandarin used it again and escaped with his tail between his legs.
Once this was done they all sighed in relief as Weiss looked to the group. "Thanks." Weiss said as she smiled to the gathered heroes and huntsman around her while her face place came off again.
"No problem you'd make a great Avenger." James said as he looked to Weiss.
"Avenger?" Weiss asked as Pym sighed a bit but it was Francis who spoke.
"Remnant's mightiest heroes, huntsman, and huntresses united together against a common threat." Francis began as he looked to Weiss. "Basically like a club or something so when we're needed we can fight foes no single one of us could defeat." Francis said as they were catching their breath.
"And you want me to join so to speak?" Weiss asked as she looked to them skeptically.
"Yeah if you want." James said as he was offering his hand to her to become an Avenger.
Weiss then turned around and began to walk away. "Not interested." Weiss said as she began to walk away.
"WHAT?!" Came the voice of everyone but James.
"Look save for a huntsman team I don't exactly work well with others." Weiss began as she looked to them. "Besides I already have all I'll need to face these 'threats,' alone." Weiss said but that was only part of it. She assumed like many these 'heroes,' wanted to mooch off her talents and tech just like how her own father did.
Yes they managed to defeat the Mandarin for now but he'll come back he always comes back and she still needs to find those other 5 rings before he finds them. If he was to be defeated she had to be the one to do it seeing as he had used her stolen tech to build himself a criminal empire.
"Alright." James said as this shocked everyone even more. "But if you change your mind offer remains open." James said as he began to walk a bit.
"Hey lets go get those relics and head on back." Ruby said as James smiled a bit not minding not getting a relic… at least his team will have those relics instead.
"Come on Ruby I'll give you that lift now." Weiss said as she then had Ruby get on and in turn took off. James knew though Weiss would come around eventually as he saw her fly off with Ruby to get the relics left behind at the ruins.
(Scene Break Team Assignment Ceremony)
"Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by... Cardin Winchester!" Ozpin said as there pictures and team names appeared in the big screen just before people applaud them. It was then that the next set of students walked to the stage. "Jaune Arc, Lei Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, and Nora Valkyrie the four of you retrieved the white rook pieces from this day forward you will be known as team JNPR." Ozpin said as JNPR's faces and team name appeared on screen and Nora hugged Ren. "Lead by Jaune Arc." Ozpin said surprising Jaune as people applauded them.
"Huh... Me?" He asked surprised to see this.
"Congratulation young man." Ozpin said as Pyrrha smiled and did a playful punch to Jaune which knocked him down. "Now Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long the four of you retrieved the white knight pieces from this day forward you will work together as Team RWBY lead by Ruby Rose." Ozpin said surprising Weiss as with Ruby but for different reasons. Weiss felt Ruby had a lot of room to grow and felt she needed time to grow. But for now she'll give her the benefit of the doubt the girl knows her weapons and was clearly playing as she went when they took on the Mandarin.
It was when the, applauds started that Yang went to Ruby. "I'm so proud of you!" Yang said as she hugged Ruby.
"Now for the next and last team to be named, we've had to bend the rules a bit, since there was no easy fitting name to come up with and all five of these students had more than proven their worth, so we'll be making this one very simple! Please step up on to stage. James Rodgers, Henry Pym Jr, Francis Barton, Azari T'challa, and Torunn Thorsdóttir." Ozpin began as once called all five Avengers had made their way to the stage Ozpin spoke up as they remained silent.
"The four of you retrieved the White Knight pieces and one of you had shown leadership skills rarely seen amongst this group of initiates! From this day forwards, you will together as Team Avengers! Lead by... James Rodgers." Ozpin said as he then looked to James with a warm smile. "Congratulations, young man, I'm sure your father would be very proud of you." Ozpin said as he knew James was already a great leader and for him his teammates was also his surrogate family.
"Thank you sir." James said as he smiled at the standing ovations Beacons first five man team.
(Meanwhile in an undisclosed location)
In a warehouse that serves as Romans current hideout he was on the phone with a mysterious person before the call ended as he put the phone down and sighed. He then took out his cigar and light it just as a man in a white uniform with a Grimm Mask came in. Roman then took out Lien cards and gave them to the individual before speaking. "Open it." He said as the young man did so.
Inside where Dust Crystals of different colors as Roman looked at it as behind him was a map of the City of Vale with certain areas marked for some unknown reason. "We're going to need more men." Roman said as he knew if the plan was going to work they needed help.
(Meanwhile)
"So…" Began the voice of a green wearing man with a helmet that had horns on it. "Back on Remnant." He said as he was clearly Asgardian by nature. "But now seeing as my niece is here with my dear daughter I wonder how we will play this game." He said as he knew his staff was here as he stood atop the museum it was kept in.
"Don't worry Hela daddy will be over soon with your birthday present… or was it Cinder. Naming's here can be such a bother at times though the artistic pleasure of it does wonders for me." Loki said as he could appreciate art when he sees it even at its most basic of starting forms… colors.
Loki was now on Remnant and it seems the Avengers job here has gotten far more difficult as it was. But they were avengers and they fought as one and win as one. But if they lost as one then they will be sure to Avenger this planet because that's what Avengers do as heroes.
