Next Avengers Heroes of Remnant
ESKK: Well new chapter let's get this show here rolling. Also a small request can one of you make a cover image for this fic for me. It's been getting some traction lately and I want to make it unique so yeah. Anyway think it over and enjoy it.
(Start)
There came a day unlike any other, when Remnant's mightiest heroes, Huntsmen, and Huntresses had found themselves united against a common threat, to fight the foes no single hero could withstand. And on that day the Avengers were born.
The invincible Armored Iron-Heart, Torunn Princess of Storms, The Incredible Hulk; strongest one there is, and Captain Vale: The First Avenger.'
*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 Monday Ozpin's Office Beacon)
Professor Ozpin looked at the picture from the Stark satellite on his scroll. Seeing the masses of Grimm in heavily infested areas chilled his heart. "So there lies the hearts of darkness." He took a sip of his coffee, narrowing his eyes. "Weiss Schnee. You are an enigma." Ozpin confessed as it wasn't only Weiss who was the Enigma. The Avengers have become something of a symbol and they haven't realized it yet. He knew those children were summoned by the God of Light and to learn even more heroes were summoned forth by him… it made Ozpin and the old weary soul of Ozma smile with joy with this new fact.
His life was a lonely one shackled by the chains of his mission and after seeing Weiss's Life Support System she may have given him a way to save Amber's Life. Yes he knew it was thanks to a fellow prisoner of the White Fang that Weiss had the technology but this could be used to save Amber's life. Ozpin was in fact considering bringing these Avengers into his inner circle because as far as he knew they were like him given a mission by the Gods themselves. Furthermore he had them to thank for the Stone. See years ago he had discovered the Time Stone and at the time he had no idea he did. Thus he used it to build his cane unaware of its full power.
But now Ozpin was aware and knew the Time Stone was his to guard and prevent Salem and whoever this Thanos was from retrieving it. It was for this reason why he also hesitated to let the Avengers into his inner circle because of their mission to keep the Stones away from Thanos.
He then proceeded to close his scroll as the massive gears clicked and clacked away around him. He stared into the darkness at the edges of his office for a minute. Then his left hand activated the built in screens on his desk. Three massive windows expanded like scrolls, even as Ozpin brought up his ever growing list of information about the Avengers.
On his third reading, his eyes stopped on a small note. "Life support module? Hmm." He said noting that it appears Weiss was trying to mimic the technology that had saved her life.
He pulled out his scroll, sending a quick message to General Ironwood for specifications for the life support module under the codename Autumn Rises. If Weiss could crack it and improve it to save Amber's life, it must be attempted.
That seemingly simple email changed the world. Ozpin found that out in the future, though.
(Scene Break RWBY Dorm Room)
As the morning Sun rises, Ruby woke up and Yawn. Shaking the cobwebs out her head, she look over to her team mate bed and saw Blake wasn't back at all as she said, "Ahh."
Since the Launch of the Satellite Blake has been MIA and from what she heard so has Azari. James saw this wasn't like Azari to vanish on them without letting them know somehow. Normally if he was going to be gone long he'd tell them so they don't wait up. But for some Reason Ruby was worried but just a she got up a knock was heard from the door and in turn Ruby answered it.
When she did she saw the Avengers there as she was surprised to see them here of all places. "Get dressed all of you." James said as Yang saw this.
"What why?" Yang asked as Weiss got up as well.
"Azari is missing and he isn't answering his scroll." Pym responded as Weiss heard this as well.
"Then that means he and Blake may have gone AWOL." Weiss said as Ruby nodded to this.
"Ok we'll get ready as soon as possible." Ruby said as she knew the Black Panther Huntsman and the Faunus Huntress may very well be in danger as they spoke.
(Scene Break Downtown Vale)
"She's been gone all weekend." Ruby said as she walked with the others. "Ever since you launched that thing into orbit." Ruby said with a depressed tone.
"Azari can take care of himself but he always lets us know if something is up." Torunn said as she walked with her cohorts.
"I'm having Jarvis run Blake's face through facial recognition as we speak. Any idea where Azari may have ran off to?" Weiss asked looking to the Avengers.
"Not a clue he probably went off to some library or something nerdy like that." Francis said only to be elbowed by Torunn causing the archer to yelp.
(Scene Break at a Café)
Blake took a sip of her tea as she, Sun, and Azari were at a Café in Vale having a cup of tea each. The Monkey Faunus held it by his tail while Azari held the cup normally as Blake took a sip of her tear in turn. "So…" She began while she put the cup down after her sip. "You wanna know more about me." She offered knowing she had some things to get this off her chest somehow.
"Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you gave me nothing but small talk and weird looks!" Sun says in exasperation, then Blake gives Sun a firm look. "Yeah, like that." Sun said just before Azari elbowed him for it.
"Be nice." Azari scolded before gesturing for Blake to continue.
Blake rolls her eyes before closing them and looking at him sadly. "Sun Azari... Are you two both familiar with the White Fang?" Blake asked getting down to the knit gritty of things.
"Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!" The Monkey Faunus said with disdain.
"My friends and I crossed paths with them a couple times on the way to Beacon a bunch of nut jobs if you ask me." Azari replied giving his honest opinion here.
Of course the two received a glare for their comments but Blake began to let it slide. "And the look is back." Sun said as he looked to her while Azari then shut his mouth.
Blake sips her drink while listening until she speaks up for the big reveal. "I was once a member of the White Fang." Blake confessed as this caught Sun by surprise.
Sun promptly goes cross-eyed and chokes on his drink, making him put it down and wipe his mouth as he holds up a hand to process this information. "Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!" Sun asked as he did not see that coming at all.
Blake nods before she continued. "That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it..." Blake said as she looked to her two friends sitting with her here.
(Flashback)
As a darken area with smoke, flames, and weapon that litter the ground.
"Back then, things were different."
Scene slowly changes to 6 being, 3 on the right were humans the 3 on the left were Faunus, as the ones in the middle were shaking each other hands showing peace between them.
"In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between humans and Faunus."
Scene changes again as a Faunus were being hated by a group of people that was throwing, hitting, and cursing him and his kind.
"Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate."
AS the scene came to where two of the Faunus brethren came and try to stop the violent as the one still on the ground was cowering in fear.
"Humanity still thought of us as a lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people."
The image change to where a group of Faunus was protesting for equal rights as in front was a younger version of Blake, scuff up but held strong, holding a sigh as well.
"And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. And I actually thought we were making a difference... but I was just a youthful optimist..."
As the scene change to a flag poll of the sign of the White fang of a blue back ground with a white tigers face… until it was brought down and a new one rose to a more horrifying one as the tiger face itself red as blood, and claw mark through it as the flag itself look to be stain in spatter blood.
"Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with new ways of thinking. Suddenly our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks."
Scene came to Faunus holding signs, changes to them holding weapons, destroying stores, and hijacking trains and stealing their goods of dust and money.
"We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us. Hijacking cargo, from companies that used Faunus labor."
Scene changes once more to three Faunus standing in a dark room that you only see their outlines… and their wicked smiles.
"And the worst part was? It was working. We're being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear."
(Flashback ended)
As Sun was surprise to hear the tale, Azari knew such stories and wasn't looking too happy. Azari of course was finished with his drink and just sat there in silent waiting for Blake to end her story.
"Of course there was more to the story then meets the eyes… after all the White Fang gave rise to Iron-Heart." Blake said before going into the next tale.
(Flashback Start Again)
"We had gotten some tip that Weiss Schnee was presenting a new weapon she had developed for Atlas over in Vacuo. Now mind you it was no surprise that Weiss was a girl who had a mind years ahead of her time." Blake spoke as the images began to show the White Fang lying in wait in Vacuo.
"We were told to kill her then and there but our leader for the sect had another idea." Blake said as an image of Adam showed who had the new plan.
"So we opted to capture here instead and force her to make weapons for the White Fang instead of getting them off the black market." Blake said before the scene began.
The White Fang fired a missile at the convoy destroying one of the armored trucks causing the other to halt. It continued as the scene then showed Weiss running out of her truck to either escape or fight back. "All it took was one missile for Weiss's fate to change and well you know how that went." Blake said as Weiss in the flashback saw the missile land next to her showing her the SDC crest before it exploded.
Weiss was then seen on the ground as she looked to her chest that showed to be changing color and bleeding staining her clothing a blood red color.
"We stabilized her and gave her the ultimatum build the White Fang weapons or die." Blake explained as the scene showed Weiss on a hospital bed with a newly installed magnet in her chest powered by a car battery. "I may have given her the means to escape at the time but she figured out how to put it all together and escaped in the Iron-Heart Mk. I armor." Blake explained as the image showed Weiss in a suit of armor comprised of welded metals. "And you how that song and dance goes." Blake explained as Sun did in fact know where this was going as the scene showed the Mk. I becoming the Iron-Heart armor we all know today.
(End Flashback)
AS Blake put down her tea cup, she spoken, "So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence." Azari had to give respect to Blake to doing what she did, might have been the hardest choice there was. "And instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am. A criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow," Blake finishes as she looks up at her ears wiggle them to show there were still there.
"So... have you told your friends any of this?" Sun asked as Blake was silent in response. After all they knew she was a Faunus already but its only Weiss who knew she was an Ex member of the White Fang.
(Meanwhile RWY and the Avengers)
"Blaaaake!" Ruby called out looking for their missing teammate.
"Blaaaake!" Yang called out offering assistance as Pym flew around trying to find their missing teammates.
"Azari!" James called out looking for their missing teammate much like how the members of RWY tried to find theirs.
"Blake!" Yang called as she tried to locate Blake somehow while Weiss was focused on her scroll at the moment.
"Anything Weiss?" Ruby asked concerned for Blake and Azari's safety.
"Azari is pretty good at blending in, and if he doesn't want to be found then he'll be hiding real; good." James said offering whatever help he could.
"Yeah and by the looks of it Blake has the same skill and level as Azari does." Francis said while also looking for their missing team members.
"He's right looks like Azari and Blake know to avoid CCT Camera's and the like." Weiss said coming up with blanks on their missing teammates.
"Well we need to find them soon." Ruby spoke as she passed by.
"Yeah who knows what may happen to them." James agreed following after her.
"Azari can take care of himself but I'm worried." Pym said as he walked by next.
"But they could be anywhere in Vale at this point or even outside the Kingdom itself." Yang said coming in next.
"That's the thing about black wearing ninja's their damn good at hiding." Francis said before Torunn spoke up.
"They hath no reason to fear us. We must not tarry in locating our missing cohorts." Torunn said while walking by.
"I'll have Jarvis try other avenues of search. They could not have gone too far away from here." Weiss added while working on her scroll and with Jarvis.
"And I think Weiss's hair looks wonderful today." Penny said surprising the members of RWY and the Avengers as they all looked to her in shock to her sudden arrival.
"GAUH PENNY WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!" Ruby yelped in shock while Penny just smiled at them.
"Hi guys what are you up to?" Penny asked with her ever present smile.
Ruby was 'ahh' for a little bit until Yang spoken up, "We're looking for our friend Blake."
Penny took a moment before saying, "Ooh! You mean the Faunus girl!"
"Yeah her." Francis said looking over to Penny who understood.
"So, where is she?" Penny asked in her normal quirky self.
"We don't know. She's been missing since the satellite launch on Saturday." Ruby told Penny… trying to stay positive.
Penny gasp as she said "That's terrible! Well don't worry Ruby and James, my friends! I won't rest until we find your teammate."
As Penny tried to reinsure to Ruby happiness, as she is Penny first friend after all.
"Uh, that's really nice of you Penny, uh, but we're-we're okay, really. Right guys?" Ruby asked her teammates and the other members of the Avengers to see them all gone, and then the wind blow again the other way as the Tumble weed came back… Seriously, why is there a Tumble?
"It's sure is windy today," Penny say stating the obvious.
"Well this is great." James said as Ruby sighed and began to cross the street to better continue the search. But before she could do so James saw something and acted.
"Ruby look both ways!" James called in a panic as Ruby was wide eyed and heard a scooter horn. Ruby quickly bolted out of the way in time to see the scooter skid to a halt. On it they saw none other than Professor Polendina as Penny recognized him.
"Ruby, James?" He asked surprised while removing his helmet showing he was doing some odd jobs such as delivering packages.
"Professor?!" Ruby asked as Penny saw him and smiled recognizing him instantly even after the time they have been apart.
(Scene Break Azari, Blake, and Sun)
(Scene break with Azari, Sun, and Blake)
"So, what's the plan now?" Sun asked with hands behind his head while they walked through town.
"I still don't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before." Blake contemplating as she walked and thought. "Even if Adam is out again they shouldn't be able to make a move like this so soon." Blake said while thinking this scenario over.
"What if they did?" Sun began as he put his arms down while running in front of them. "I mean the only way to prove they didn't do it, is to go to the place they would most likely go if they were to do it and not find them there." Sun said while pasting back and forth as Blake saw he was on to something. "Right?" He asked as even Azari himself had to admit that was smart thinking.
"The only problem is we have no idea where that would be." Azari said as he looked to Sun as Blake had to agree there.
"Well while I was on the boat I heard those guys talking about off lifting a huge shipment of Dust from Atlas." Sun said as Azari was about to ask but Blake beat him to it.
"How huge?" Blake asked as she wanted answers hopefully to prove the White Fang had no part in these Dust robberies.
"Huge big Schnee company freighter." Sun said spreading his arms out to emphasize the size.
"You sure?" Blake asked seeing a possible lead that would either prove or disprove the White Fang's involvement.
(Scene Break with Torunn, Francis, and Pym)
"Thanks anyway." Francis said as he left another shop with his friends.
"Another dead end." Pym sighed as Torunn looked around a bit. "Maybe something happened to them." Pym said worried for both Azari and Blake's well-being.
"We cannot give up so easily Pym." Torunn assured the youngest member on locating their friends.
"I don't know." Pym said remembering how before Francis came into the picture they always had each other and Tony. But Tony was back on their Earth and now it was just them alone. Sure they diched James and Ruby to Penny but it didn't change the fact that he was afraid that they're team was starting to break apart.
"Don't worry short stuff it's like Torunn said we'll find them." Francis added while walking with the two of them.
"I hope your right." Pym said sadly since he was still a kid he was still naïve to a lot of things in the world.
(Meanwhile with Yang and Weiss)
Yang and Weiss were seen leaving a store as Yang waved to the folks inside bidding them all farewell. "Thanks anyway." Yang said as they walked out with Weiss having her hands on her hips. "This is hopeless." Yang said as she then turned to Weiss and saw she was worried.
"This is my fault." Weiss said as she looked away a bit.
"It's not Weiss there was probably nothing you could have done." Yang said but Weiss disagreed.
"There was plenty I could have done!" Weiss argued catching Yang off guard before Weiss began to calm herself. "I owe Blake my life in a sense if it wasn't for her… I would never have seen the cruelty and horrors my father had caused as well as my part in it." Weiss said as she walked away a bit. "It's because of Blake that I became Iron-Heart to set right the wrongs my family had caused." Weiss said as Blake then walked up to Weiss and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"It's ok." Yang said as she smiled to Weiss. "We'll find her don't worry." Yang said as she knew Blake may feel guilty for her actions with the White Fang… but if it want for Blake… they would never have gotten a superhero from Weiss as Iron-Heart.
(Meanwhile with James, Penny, Ruby, and Forest)
The four were walking down the side walk while Forest had dropped off his scooter at a parking lot to help his students. "So if I am understanding correctly Blake and Azari are both missing?" Forest asked as he walked with his students.
"Yeah." Ruby began as she looked to the duo.
"Is it because you're mad at her?" Penny asked as Ruby turned her head to this.
"No we don't know why she ran off." Ruby sighed while walking. "I think it's more like she's mad at us." Ruby said while they kept walking about.
"Why would she be mad at you?" Penny asked confused as to why Blake would be mad at her teammates.
"We don't know that's what we want to find out." James said before Forest spoke up.
"What about Azari?" Forest asked as James then shrugged in response.
"Not sure it's not like him to vanish like this." James responded trying to figure out where their missing teammates had ran off to.
"Well I don't have many friend but if I did I'd like them to talk to me if they have problems." Penny said as Ruby then looked down sadly agreeing with Penny.
"Me too." Ruby said before they continued their search.
(Scene Break That Night Docks)
Blake and Azari were seen looking over the docks where the shipment was currently located. They waited for something to occur as they did a improve stakeout at the Docks. A boat horn was heard from afar as Azari crotched down to observe the scene while Blake laid down to better stay hidden from sight.
But then Sun was heard as he walked in. "Did I miss anything?" He asked as he joined the two on their stakeout. He crouched down as it seemed he was carrying something in his arms at the moment.
"Not really they offloaded the crates from the boat… now there just sitting there." Blake said as Azari looked to it.
"Something isn't right?" Azari asked as he looked around the area. The eyes of the other two were on him as he saw this. "I mean with all the Dust robberies going on, wouldn't Atlas or at the very least the SDC have more security on their products. I mean sure with Willow Schnee in control of it again it just doesn't make sense why they would leave the crates unguarded like this." Azari said as Sun heard this.
"What are you thinking?" Sun asked but it was Blake who figured it out.
"Two things… either bribes from a criminal factor… or someone had infiltrated the area." Blake said knowing how espionage worked out here.
"So I guess this food I stole won't do much." Sun said as he held the apples in his arms.
But then a wind blew by with a pair of turbine engine sounding off as the trio took cover from it. They looked up and in turn saw a Bulwark flying over heard. The vehicle came in for a landing as Blake saw this. Once the Bulwark landed they saw the people depart as Blake recognized the people instantly. "Oh no." Blake said realizing that the thing she hoped was wrong was in fact truth.
"Is that them?" Sun asked as he saw the White Fang depart from the Bulwark.
"Yes. It's them." Blake responded as Azari got ready to move in and stop them.
(In the Docks)
"Alright. Grab the Tow Cables." A White Fang Member ordered while holding a rifle in his arms.
The White Fang Members did as told as they began to get to work on acquiring the Dust delivered here.
(Back with the Trio)
"You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?" Sun asked as Blake looked to the scene with sadness.
"No. I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right." Blake said as this only added fuel for the guilt she felt over her actions with the White Fang. Sure it resulted in creating Iron-Heart but Weiss can never truly have a normal life again. The Arc Reactor in her chest is the only think keeping her alive acting as a magnet to keep the Shrapnel away from reaching her heart.
"Heads up." Azari cut in as he saw a familiar face among the White Fang Members.
"Hey! What's the hold up!?" Came the voice of Roman as he walked into the open with the other grunt members of the White Fang.
(Back at the Docks)
Roman Torchwick was seen walking out of the Bulwark still carrying his cane as he looked to the group of White Fang Members. "We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, sooo why don't you animals try and pick up the pace." Roman said as he had no intention of being caught anytime soon by the police or these new superhero wackos.
(Back with the trio)
"This isn't right." Blake said as she watched the scene playout. "The White Fang would never work with a human. Especially not one like that." Blake said as she got up and drew her sword.
"Right behind you." Azari said as he got up and flexed his claws activating the Wakanda.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Sun asked as he then saw the two jump down to join the fray.
(With Azari and Blake)
The two after sneaking in were hiding behind some crates waiting for the time to act. They saw Roman looking to a White Fang member who he seemed to be lecturing. "No you idiot! This isn't a leash!" Roman scolded as the White Fang Grunt held cables in his arms before Roman.
Azari and Blake then nodded to each other and got moving to blindside Roman Torchwick. Once they moved Roman didn't see it coming as he found a sword at his neck from behind. "What the?" He began but then saw Blake and knew what was currently happening to him now. "Oh for f-." He began but was then cut off by Blake.
"Nobody move!" Blake ordered as the White Fang Members began to draw their weapons on Blake holding their 'boss,' hostage at the moment.
But then Azari jumped in and disarmed them with ease as he pointed his claws at one with the threat in them very much evident.
"Whoa! Take it easy there kids." Roman suggested in hopes of staying alive and in business.
Blake removed her bow revealing her Cat Ears once more as she glared at the White Fang who was working for Roman right now. "Brothers of the White Fang. Why are you aiding this scum!?" Blake demanded as she wanted answers for the why. Some of the remaining armed White Fang Members lowered their weapons while the ones Azari had at claw point raised their hands and eased back.
"Heh, oh kid. Didn't you get the memo?" Roman asked as Azari glared at the criminal.
"What are you talking about?" Blake demanded as Azari got ready to move in.
"The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together." Roman boasted as Azari glared at the crime boss.
"Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation." Blake threatened holding her sword closer to Roman's neck.
Soon Turbine Engines were heard as Azari got up and shielded himself from them. "I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation." Roman said as Blake was in shock at what she saw.
Azari then looked to Roman before acting fast as he moved in. "Blake look out!" Azari called out getting Blake's attention in time to push her out of the way and struggle with Roman's weapon.
"Hey get off!" Roman called out as the two struggled before Azari managed to get the weapon pointed upward. The trigger was then pulled and in turn the explosive shot was fired upward like a flare.
(Ruby, Forest, Penny, and James)
The group heard this as Ruby was wide eyed at what she saw. "Oh no." Ruby said knowing trouble was afoot and Blake may be smack dab in the middle of it.
Seeing this James acted by pulling out his scroll to which James knew what was going on. James then got his scroll out and sent the signal to the others. It was an app Pym had worked out for their scrolls and in turn a stylized A appeared on it. With it the Arrow began to point outward as it sent the signal to Assemble.
(With Torunn, Francis, and Pym)
The trio were still searching when they felt their scrolls go off and went for it. They looked and saw James had activated the Scroll's App. With it coordinates to meet at the Kingdoms Docks.
"Alright time to assemble." Francis said as Torunn nodded to this. Pym shrunk down and flew off with Torunn who grabbed Francis and flew off as well.
(Meanwhile with Weiss and Yang)
The duo saw the flare of Roman's weapon go off in the sky and got moving knowing their friends needed help. "Yang you go on ahead I need to grab my armor." Weiss said as Yang nodded to this.
"Ok Iron Ice Queen." Yang said as Weiss glared at Yang for that jab at her there. "Just don't be late no telling what costumed psycho is on the loose." Yang said which Weiss agreed with Yang on her train of thoughts.
Weiss then saw Schnee Tower and got moving knowing she was going to need to bring in her best tools. She dashed for the Tower as she took out her Scroll and called Jarvis up. "Jarvis get my armor ready NOW!" Weiss ordered as Jarvis heard this.
"Of course Ms. Schnee Armor prep has begun." Jarvis responded knowing what the Iron-Heart armor Weiss was going to deploy into battle with.
(Meanwhile back at the Docks)
Azari and Blake ran and dodged the gunfire sent by Roman as it would seem Azari did have cat like reflexes that was to be expected of the Black Panther. Azari then saw an opening and got close before clawing at Roman's suit causing him to cry out from it.
Roman inspected his suit and glared at the Black Panther. "Do you have ANY idea how expensive this suit is?!" Roman yelled gesturing to his suit and the claw marks on it curtesy of Azari.
"Sorry let me pay the repair bill." Azari said as soon a current of thunder surrounded him before he unleashed it straight at the criminal.
Roman was forced to dodge it as he glared at the cat boy. But then Blake and Azari jumped back and went to cover as Roman glared. "Here kitty, kitty; kitty." Roman said just before a banana peel landed on his hat. When he removed the banana peel he looked up and glared just in time to see Sun jumping in.
He then kicked him in the face knocking him down hard. When Sun landed across from Roman he turned around and glared at Roman. "Leave her alone." Sun warned glaring at the crime lord.
Soon more White Fang joined the fight after jumping off the Bulwarks and trained their weapons at Sun. "You are not the brightest banana in the bunch, are ya kid?" Roman asked looking to the Monkey Faunus.
"May haps he is but he has aid!" Torunn called out as soon thunder struck around them causing the grunts to duck and cover.
"What the f-!?" Roman began before an Arrow came in and in turn Francis was seen coming in on an arrow made zip line.
"We late?" Francis asked as he took aim with his bow and arrows.
"Great anyone else of your posy joining in?" Roman asked only to see a light flash in his face.
"Yeah me." Pym said before firing his stingers at Roman causing him to cry out with each one.
"Hey knock it off kid!" Roman called out to try and swat Pym away.
"Ok." Pym said flying off only for something else to show up. "Gives me a chance to try this out." The pixie sized boy said as he activated a helmet that covered his head and activated. Soon Roman was being assaulted by Ants as they began to climb over his body.
"Oh no! No! NO!" Roman cried out as he felt them crawling all over him. "Ow! OWOWOWOW!" Roman cried out as the ants bit him while he did that ants in his pants dance trying to get them off.
"That should keep him occupied." Pym said as Francis smiled to this.
"Way to go Ant-Boy!" Francis praised happy Pym figured out the original Ant-Man's method of controlling the loyal Ants.
"In coming!" Sun called out taking out his bow staff weapon as the White Fang began to attack them.
Torunn swung her sword about deflecting and blocking the oncoming attacks. With her Pym flew about firing stingers at them and sending the Ants at them. Particularly the Bullet Ants because when those small guys bit… pain is an understatement considering their rank in the pain-index.
Francis meanwhile fired off his arrows at them and even got up close with some of them using one of his Taser arrows on them as he went. He even used his bow as a melee weapon and kicked a few as he went.
Nearby Azari and Blake saw backup arrived and were waiting for an opening to act.
Roman meanwhile finally got the ants off him after a quick dive with a hydrant and glared at the group. He then pointed his can and fired it off at them causing the Avengers and one Huntsman in training to scatter. Roman fired it again and Sun and Torunn in turn spun their weapons blocking it giving Azari and Blake the opening they needed.
"He's mine/incoming!" Blake and Azari both called out jumping over the defenses and went for Roman head-on. The two began to double team Roman as Blake slashed at him and use her semblance to either perform double the damage or to avoid the attacks. Azari swung his claws at Roman as the criminal was dodging the attacks as best he could.
He then managed to get a good blow in on the two before Sun jumped in and split his boy staff into two shotgun nunchucks. Every blow he made he fired off a shell and reloaded as he spun the weapons moving in ways that Bruce Lee would be proud of. Azari then came in and kicked Roman while Black slashed him with her sword knocking the crime lord back hard.
Roman glared and saw a suspended crate before he fired at the cables holding it up. It fell torts the group only for a blue to come in and stop it. They looked and saw Iron-Heart holding the crate over her head using her suits natural strength to help her. "That is Schnee Property you know I'm gonna have to ask for you to pay off the damages." Weiss as Iron-Heart taunted as the White Fang saw that she arrived.
Roman aimed his weapon at Iron-Heart particularly the lens for her uni-beam. But when he tried to fire a shield flew in knocking his attack off course as it spun like a Frisbee. It ricochet off the ground and crates only to return to the waiting hands of James Rodgers. With him Penny, Forest, and Ruby stood with him as Ruby glared at the criminal.
"HEY!" Ruby called out with Crescent Rose at the ready.
"Oh, hello red and her friend red white and blue! Isn't it past your bedtime?" Roman taunted as Roman glared at them to which the two glared back at him.
Penny began to walk forward as she was confused. "Ruby James? Are these people your friends?" Penny asked with curiosity.
"Penny, get back." Ruby urged only for Roman to take the shot while Ruby was distracted.
"Ruby look out!" James called out and got in front of Ruby with his shield up.
The attack hit and in turn the shield absorbed the blow from it. James lowered his shield and glared at the shocked Roman.
"Oh boy." Roman said as Forest glared at them also.
"I'm going on." Forest said as he then jumped down ever so calmly while glaring at the foes before him.
"Wait Professor should you… you know get angry?" Ruby asked as she knew how the Hulk comes out.
"That… Ms. Rose is my secret to staying calm." Forest said as he walked torts the now shaking Roman. "I'm always angry." Forest said as soon to everyone's shock he began to transform into the Hulk. It started with his eyes turning Gamma Green before his muscle mass grew as his body turned gamma green.
As forest kept transforming he began to dash forward as his clothing tore up leaving his pants to cover his decency. Roman began to run for it as he screamed bloody murder not wanting to be smashed by the Hulk. Soon Roman didn't have a choice as Hulk punched him down causing a crater in Roman's size to be made as the Hulk roared out.
"HULK SMASH!" Hulk roared out to the heavens above as he then jumped to a Bulwark and brought it down hard causing an explosion from the crash.
Back at the Building top Ruby was amazed at what the Hulk just did and knew he was strong but the question was how strong he truly was. "Incredible." Ruby gasped as she saw the Hulk in action. After all the Hulk wasn't called the Incredible Hulk for no reason.
"Come on let's get in there!" James called out before he jumped down.
"Ok." Penny said as she went to join the fray as well.
"Penny stop!" Ruby called out clearly not believing Penny can handle this.
"Don't worry Ruby. I'm combat ready." Penny said smiling to Ruby just before her backpack opened and from it swords began to float out and unfold behind her.
Penny and James charged at the oncoming White Fang Members with weapons drawn as James fired off the Widow Magnum at them. Penny began to hack and slash against her foes as it seemed like she was controlling the swords with her mind. She could even use them as a shield and launch them like a Fuma-shuriken type weapon.
James smashed a Fanger with his shield and proceeded to kick another one before slashing a third one with the Widow Magnum. Soon more Bulwarks flew in and began firing at them as Hulk was the main focus which only served to anger him more. "Kick their ass Hulk!" Francis called out as Hulk roared and jumped back into the air. He hit one of the Bulwarks causing it to crash before Iron-Heart got the second one and fired a repulser blast at the turbine causing it to crash with an emergency landing.
Penny of course reeled herself back and began to charge her beam weapon at the last Bulwark before firing it off at it. The beam sliced the Bulwark's left wing off when it tried to dodge and in turn crashed into the water to prevent massive explosions.
"Give it up Roman your outgunned and outnumbered!" Ruby called out joining the fray herself as Roman smirked a bit.
"What's so funny?" Francis asked as he glared at Roman.
"No your right or half right I am outnumbered… but no outgunned." Roman said as he took his scroll out which already had a call up. "Graviton your up." Roman called as soon the water blasted upward from the Bulwark that crashed.
Soon a man in a blue suit with black/white hair rose up as his eyes glowed from it as Pym saw this. "Please tell me he did not say Graviton?" Weiss asked hoping that they misheard him.
"Um guy with glowing eyes, fancy suit, and floating upward… yeah its Graviton." Francis said as Ruby was confused to this.
"Who's Graviton?" Ruby asked as this was the first time she heard of him.
"Crazy powerful guy able to control gravity." Azari said as Ruby was surprised.
"Like Pyrrha's polarity." Ruby summarized as it was the closes description she got.
Graviton glared at the group before him as he was a bit insulted to be hired to handle children. But then again Iron-Heart is with them as well as the Hulk. Furthermore they had managed to stop a mass breakout so they may be worth a little effort to deal with.
"Have at thee!" Torunn yelled and charged at Graviton before James could stop her.
"Torunn wait!" James called but it was too late as Torunn was upon Graviton. She began to hack and slash down upon the man but it seems he had a barrier of pure gravity aiding him.
Hulk roared out ready to go back in but James stopped him. "Hulk wait!" James called out as Hulk glared at James. "I need you to get people to safety with Blake." James said as Hulk heard this.
"Right now you have the muscle and Blake has the brains you two need to work together to get people safe." James said as Hulk growled at the boy before him. "You're the strongest there is let's see if it's more than just physical strength or if you truly are a monster." James said as Hulk growled and then looked to Blake.
"Fine but when Hulk done Gravity man is next." Hulk said as James smiled to him.
"Then get a move on don't want to miss out do you?" James asked as Hulk then grinned.
"Puny cat girl get on." Hulk said as Blake nodded and jumped onto Hulks back. "Hang on." Hulk said before he jumped up and to the city to get people out of the line of fire.
"Now we need to go help Torunn so we need a plan." James said but Weiss glared for a minute and sighed.
(Battle)
Torunn and Graviton was having a bit of a one sided battle as every time she got a blow in thunder flashed in the sky but she only hit Graviton's gravity barrier. Torunn then flung her sword charged up with lightning at Graviton and nailed his barrier strong enough to push him back a bit from it.
"Is that all?" Graviton smirked at the surprised Torunn. "My turn." Graviton said before he unleashed his power using Gravitational force to push Torunn into the water where she and her sword landed at the bottom.
(Avengers, Sun, and RW)
"Torunn!" The Avengers, Ruby, and Weiss cried out before Pym jumped in.
Pym shrunk down and went straight for Graviton. "Hey you big bully!" Pym called out as he flew at Graviton. "Let my sister go!" Pym roared out and fired his stingers at Graviton causing him to cry out in pain from it.
"Stop that you stupid brat don't you know who you're dealing with!?" Graviton demanded glaring at Pym.
"An insane washed up physicist." Pym countered only for Graviton to roar out and send Pym flying back from it and into the water.
Then Iron-Heart flew straight at Graviton to get the pressure off of Pym and Torunn as she managed to hit him head on. She flew torts the water with her thrusters at max before firing off twin Repulser blasts from her gauntlets. Graviton was sent hurdling into the water as Iron-Heart smirked to this. Pym managed to get back up and flew next to Weiss head and smiled to her.
"Thanks Weiss." Pym smiled as Iron-Heart nodded to him.
"This guy is trouble on a whole new level we need to be careful." Weiss said as James came in on their communications.
"She's right we need to get Torunn back and hold the line until Hulk gets back." James said regretting sending Hulk on civilian duty.
(Weiss)
"Ms. Schnee I am detecting Gravitational distortion around the target. Exercise extreme caution." Jarvis warned Weiss who got the memo there.
"Yes I figured as much." Weiss said rolling her eyes a bit.
(Battle)
Soon Graviton rose from the water again as he glared at armored Schnee. "You asked for it." Graviton growled before roaring out and sending Weiss skyward with a scream.
(Weiss)
Weiss found herself outside Remnant's orbit and she was grateful she designed her suits with a life support system. But at this range she couldn't hope to call in another Suit and even if she could switching suits in space was risky. The fact there was no gravity in space proved there was no oxygen meaning she would very well die if she was not careful.
But then she saw Remnant's shattered moon which formed some sort of asteroid belt but the way it shattered her suits scanned it and saw what may suggest this wasn't a natural occurrence but something hitting the moon. Furthermore much to her shock she detected trace element of Dust making her go wide eyed.
"Ms. Schnee." Jarvis began as Weiss saw this. "I am detecting Dust Crystals on the moon but not like the ones on Remnant this may be the purest form of it yet." Jarvis said which put a lot of questions in Weiss head.
"Jarvis put that into a file for later we have a bigger threat to worry about." Weiss said as Jarvis carried out the order while Weiss tried to get back to Remnant knowing the battle was there.
(Meanwhile over with Hulk and Blake)
Hulk carried a bus full of people to a safer distance as he tore the door open to let them out. People filed out of it before Hulk went to the next one. Blake helped as well making sure they all stayed together as Hulk joined up with his partner for this little crowd control task here.
"Is that all of them?" Blake asked as Hulk glared.
"Hulk got as many as he could find." Hulk replied as Blake nodded in response. "Ok you go on ahead Hulk I'll try to do one more look around and meet back up at the Docks." Blake said as Hulk nodded before jumping back to the battle at the Docks.
(Docks Battle)
Pym flew around Graviton firing his stingers at him as Ruby, James, and Francis fired off bullets and arrows at the super villain. Penny even tried to help by having her swords fire off singular green energy shots at him. Pym then flew back and with arms spread went big as the now giant Pym then smashed his hand together around Graviton. Things were calm for but a moment before Graviton used his gravity power to knock Pym back where he fell to the ground.
"Pym!" James, Francis, Azari and Ruby cried out before shit got real.
Azari roared out summoning his Panther Thunder which in turn fired a thunder beam at Graviton causing him damage. But it wasn't enough before James, Ruby, Francis, Sun, and even Penny were pushed back by Graviton's attack.
Unaware to them it seems their actions caused some benefit for them.
(In the water with Torun)
Torunn was pulling herself out of the sandy bottom of the water as she growled a bit while holding her breath. She then reached out to where her sword was stabbed and called it to her waiting hand from afar.
(Back to the Battle)
Graviton laughed as he saw how he was winning against a group of Children trying to play the role of heroes. "Is that all you have to offer pathetic!" Graviton laughed as victory would be his to claim on this day. And there was nothing these Children can do to stop his inevitable victory.
Soon Torunn's sword was seen shooting upward before Torunn came out of the water following after her weapon of choice. "Round 2." Torunn growled as she glared at Graviton.
Torunn then roared out as her eyes began to glow with an electrical current no doubt digging deep for a boost. She then roared and unleashed her attack upon Graviton sending him flying into the city. Torunn then gave chase as Pym got back up with his brothers and friends.
"Come on lets go help her!" James called out as they all agreed and gave chase with Penny close behind.
"I'll um… I'll stay behind and cover here." Sun said as he looked to the damage this battle was currently causing.
(Back with Weiss in Space)
Iron-Heart was seen still trying to get back to Remnant but it would appear Graviton was keeping her outside orbit. Weiss began to hyperventilate a bit with some sweat fearing the worse but had one more ace she could try. "Full power to thrusters give it everything we got!" Weiss called out as she tried even harder.
Iron-Heart managed to stabilize herself and made a bee-line for Remnant but it seems good fortune would shine on her this day. "Ms. Schnee note the Gravitational disturbance effect has ceased." Jarvis said as Weiss heard this and smirked in response for this. Iron-Heart then made a bee-line for Vale as she flew back to Orbit to help her friends and… fellow Avengers take down Graviton for she knew it was because of them she can make it.
(Back at Vale Graviton Battle)
Graviton was nailed by Torunn's sword as he crashed into the streets causing damage as he went through it. Torunn's sword returned to her hand as she glared down at Graviton with rage evident in her. "I'd recommend you stay down." Torunn growled promising pain if Graviton doesn't head her warning.
Graviton laughed a bit with some coughing but once more began to rise up. "You think you can stop me?! I've beaten you before and I can do it again." Graviton said as he was soon before Torunn releasing some of his power.
At least he intended to until a uni-beam fired from above the clouds. Torunn looked up and saw Iron-Heart rejoining the fight as the two then surrounded Graviton as he was now in a crater. "You should really listen to her she has a sword and an attitude and knows how to use it." Iron-Heart said as Torunn let that one slide seeing as it was an accurate threat.
Soon arrows flew by Graviton as Francis joined the fray again. "You need to sit down punk." Francis said aiming his arrow at Graviton.
Then Azari jumped in and glared down at Graviton. "Or get the claws." Azari added before Pym flew in once more the size of a pixie.
"Or get some zapping." Pym said with his hands glowing ready to zap Graviton some more.
"This will be your last warning." James added as Ruby and Blake stood with him as well.
"Give up." Ruby said aiming Crescent Rose at the insane criminal.
"Or else." Blake added glaring intently at Graviton.
"No… No… No. NO! The Power I wield I, you are nothing compared to me!" Graviton roared out releasing his power and in turn causing them all to smash into the buildings around them.
"I'm stronger then all of you! I'm the strongest there is!" He called out but Ruby smirked a bit.
"Yeah… maybe your right!" Ruby called out as Graviton glared at her. "But we have something you don't have." Ruby continued as Blake knew what Ruby was about to do. "We have a Hulk." Ruby finished before from behind Graviton Hulk landed and smirked at the criminal.
"And floating man is adorable." Hulk smirked as Graviton was wide eyed in shock now.
Hulk then jumped at Graviton and tackled him causing the two to fly through the air as the result.
While in the air Hulk had a strong grip on Graviton's leg before proceeding to punch him causing the two to go farther from the combination of both the punch and Graviton's unnatural power over Gravity.
The two then arrived not long after in the Warehouse district of Vale as Hulk glared down at Graviton. Graviton began to get back up and glare at Hulk before activating his powers once more. Hulk saw this and growled before doing what he did best. "HULK SMASH!" Hulk roared and smashed down on Graviton who floated away only for the shockwave of Hulks attack to send him flying back.
The force of the shockwave caused everything not nailed to the ground to go flying and warehouses to become structurally unsound. Nearby Torunn and Iron-Heart flew by as Iron-Heart had Ruby and Blake while Torunn had Francis and James.
"Come on Hulk kick his butt!" Ruby cheered as Blake was with Ruby on this one. Hulk didn't have to help them he had no obligation to and it made Blake see the Hulk as misunderstood in a sense… just like the Faunus.
Hulk and Graviton continued their battle as Hulk roared in fury and smashed his firsts against Graviton's gravity barrier. Each attack causing it to weaken with the force of it traveling around them damaging the place.
Not too far away Pym was in his giant form with Azari on his shoulder while they watched the battle take place. "Are we even needed here?" Azari asked as Pym shrugged in response to the question.
Back with Hulk and Graviton the villain was down but his power was still active and barrier still working as Hulk kept smashing against it roaring as he did so. "NO!" Graviton roared facing the Hulk and releasing his power. Hulk was buried into the ground as the Avengers and RWB saw this.
"Take him down!" James called as they all charged in to try and help the Hulk win. The Result was Graviton using his powers to force James, Ruby, Blake, Iron-Heart, and Torunn to the ground before they could attack.
Pym and Azari came in next as they charged straight for Graviton. Azari sent his knives at Graviton only for him to stop the attack and crushing said Knives with gravity. He then brought the two down as Pym fell to his knees and fell down hard. Azari wasn't too far away as the would-be heroes felt the pressure of gravity pushing down on each of them hard.
"Look at you foolish children." Graviton began smirking at his beaten foes. "I possess the power of the Universe itself!" Graviton roared out as his eyes began to glow again with his power fueling him. "I AM POWER!" Graviton roared out as he began to bring the full force of his powers into the game.
Clouds gathered, cars, crates, and even buildings formed up, and even the water itself answered his call as it seemed a hurricane was forming. The heroes tried to get back up but it seems they were all pinned down now.
"I… can't move." Ruby said as she tried to get up. "Can any of you?" Ruby asked as she tried her best but the gravitational force was overpowering her.
"No." James confirmed while trying to get up but failing.
"Neither can, I." Weiss confirmed as she was pinned down by Gravity.
"Nay." Torunn struggled as they saw even Pym was down as was Blake, Francis, and Azari.
(With the Hulk)
Hulk was down but he was not out. He growled and grit his teeth as he began for force his body to stand back up. Despite the Gravity force pushing down on him all it did was made Hulk angrier. And for those not aware the angrier Hulk gets… the stronger her gets and Hulk is the strongest there is. Hulk uses his fist to push himself back on his feet intent on taking down Graviton here and now.
Hulk was soon on his feet and glared at Graviton no doubt extremely pissed off now.
(Meanwhile with Pym)
Pym was still awake as he growled a bit before he shrunk down to use his more Ant-Man power. When he did so Pym hoped it would work seeing as it was what gave his father the name Ant-Man. He began to call for help from Remnant's smaller fighters most would consider to be pests at picnics.
Nearby Carpenter Ants heard the call and out of pure instinct followed it as the command was simple… attack Graviton.
(Back to the Battle)
Hulk began to stomp down leaving footprints from the gravitational force as he made his way torts Graviton to smash him. Graviton saw the Hulk was still moving and proceeded to add more pressure on him but the Hulk kept going slowly yes but he showed to be tanking it all. Graviton once more added pressure making the crater Hulk was trying to climb out of larger and deeper each time.
Graviton was in shock but kept the pressure on as he then spoke. "Nothing is that powerful." Graviton said as by the tone of his voice he was struggling and was breaking a sweat now. Hulk kept going refusing to let this puny man get the better of him in terms of power. "I control gravity itself." Graviton said unaware of what Pym was doing with the Ants.
Hulk only growled and grit his teeth as he kept moving not letting Gravity stop him from properly smashing Graviton into paste. Graviton's eyes glowed once more as he stopped the tornado he erected and had all the debris it built up stop. He then aimed it all at Hulk who saw what was coming up next. Graviton sent his attack forth and in turn Hulk began to punch each of them away until they began to pile up on him to both knock him out and bury him once knocked out.
Pym saw this as his Ants were in position as one of them was on the back of Graviton's neck. Pym felt this and gave the order and thus the Ants bit him. Graviton cried out in pain as the ants began to bite down on him big time. This in turn caused Graviton to lose his focus as he was being attacked by the Carpenter Ants left and right.
Hulk already could tell that one of those puny people… his friends maybe… got Graviton distracted which was perfect here. Hulk roared out and jumped out of the pile of debris and went at Graviton. Graviton meanwhile was scratching himself to get the Ants off him before using his powers to blast them off himself.
Hulk then got to Graviton and grabbed him while he jumped away to another location to fight.
(The Avengers)
The group began to get back up as they all felt the force Graviton forced upon them was gone. Weiss saw in her head 50 some plausible ways this could have ended horribly but it seems together they stand a chance. Thus she swallowed her pride and distrust and looked to James who saw her.
"Well… say it." Weiss said as James saw what Weiss was saying.
"Avengers Assemble!" James called out as loud as he could that even the Hulk should hopefully hear his call. In turn the Avengers, yes including Weiss Schnee AKA Iron-Heart, sprang into action knowing they had a powerful threat to beat.
(Back Hulk vs Graviton)
Hulk had Graviton pinned as he began to smash down on him with his bit beefy fists as Graviton used his powers to shield himself. "This is impossible!" Graviton cried out for he saw, as much as he despised to admit it, that he was losing the battle against Hulk. Graviton then roared out and blasted Hulk back as Hulk roared out in surprise.
Hulk was soon in the sky as Graviton smirked before his eyes glowed once more while his hair seemed to have lost its slicked back nature. He then flew up and sent another onslaught at Hulk knowing he had to end this ASAP to avoid prison.
Nearby the Avengers charged in as Torunn, Iron-Heart, and Pym were their best flyers thus James looked to Pym. "Pym go help Hulk now!" James called out as Pym nodded.
"Got it James!" Pym called out before flying torts Hulk.
"The rest of you let him have it!" James called out as they all did as told.
Ruby, James, Francis, and Blake fired their guns and arrow at Graviton who protected himself from the onslaught. Nearby Iron-Heart and Azari fired their energy weapons at Graviton to have him ease up on Hulk. This got them the desired result as Hulk began to fall a bit and smash the crates, cars, and other items in his way.
Then Pym flew next to Hulk's head and began firing his stingers at the stuff before slicing through a large one giving Hulk a path. Hulk was surprised by this because almost no one helps him in populated areas like this with a lot of people. So this was a new experience for the big green guy almost everyone on Remnant called a monster.
"Shrinking boy… is helping Hulk." Hulk said surprised clearly in his voice.
"Yeah you're our friend and Avenger now. Now hit him!" Pym called as Hulk then grinned at this.
Hulk held that grin as he aimed his rage at Graviton because if what Pym says is true… the Avengers were The Hulk's friends and Graviton hurt Hulks puny friends.
As the fire came from Gravitons front he never saw the Hulk and Pym coming from behind as Hulk then smashed Graviton straight to the ground where he should stay down. Once the two landed and created another crater Hulk got ready to throw another punch at Graviton to knock him the hell out. But it seems Graviton was ready as he then lifted a large amount of Earth up and got the Hulk away from him.
With his focus on Hulk Graviton never saw Pym come in till he fired his stingers at him. Graviton cried out in shock before Azari and Iron-Heart came in. "Here a boost!" Azari called out giving Weiss a good jolt of electricity which charged her suit back up.
"Thanks!" Weiss called out as Iron-Heart who then fired off a Uni-Beam from above and hit Graviton with it using the boost Azari gave her. She even used one of her Glyphs as a lens for it giving it a huge boost in power as well. But it seems Graviton would not be beaten so easily, as he lifted the ground around him to form a large shield and attempt to hit Iron-Heart with it.
James ran through the chaos and then threw his shield at Graviton getting his attention as Graviton glared at the boy. James caught his shield from the ricochet and aimed the Widow Magnum at Graviton. "Come and get some!" James called out firing his gun at Graviton who used his aura to protect them. Graviton glared at James before he then roared out unleashing his power on him as James was forced to use his shield to hold off Graviton. That was until Francis fired his explosive arrows at Graviton who blocked and tanked them only for the smoke to hide another one. It was filled with Wind Dust and in turn Graviton was knocked back from the attack. "Pym I got him on the X!" Francis called into his scroll knowing what Pym was going to do next.
(With Pym)
Pym was flying over the water after slipping away before he saw the Schnee Dust Company freighter and saw it was perfect for his next idea. Plus when he got the signal from Francis he acted fast knowing what was needed here. He then dived into the water and swam torts the freighter for his next act. Once he was in position he grew into his giant form and lifted the freighter over his head. Pym then roared tossed the boat to Graviton's location.
(Battle)
The Freighter hit Graviton and thus exploded as he was lucky to use his power to block it as best he could. That didn't end it though as now it was Torunn's turn to attack the vile super villain.
Torunn was in the air with her sword in both hands summoning up a storm. Her Sword, Stormbringer, was in her hand as she held it by the strap and spun it above her head. The Storm grew stronger as her eyes began to glow once more with her powers. "FOR REMNANT!" Torunn roared out as she then unleashed what may be the strongest thunder-blast she has ever used yet.
Graviton looked up and was wide eyed at what he saw and it was at this moment he knew… he fucked up. The blast hit hard destroying the deserted Warehouse district and part of the surrounding area as well. Graviton roared out in pain from Torunn's powerful attack that was proof of her Godly blood.
When the attack let up and the smoke settled Graviton was slightly singed but alive. He then fell to his knees and looked above him to see the Avengers standing victorious over him. "Who strongest now puny man?" Hulk taunted glaring at the beaten Graviton.
"Pym." James called and in turn Pym in his pixie form stung Graviton with a Taser sting causing him to fall over now properly neutralized.
"We won!" Ruby cheered as she caught her breath at long last.
"Surprisingly enough." Weiss said as her face plate opened up.
"That was insane." Blake agreed as Torunn then smiled to her fellow Avengers.
"Come friends let us celebrate as Asgardian would." Torunn said while hugging them in turn.
"Oh come on!" Came Yang's voice causing the Avengers to look and in turn they saw Yang on Bumblebee. "I'm gone for like a good hour and I miss all the fun!" Yang called out as she rejoined the group.
"Well at least Team RWBY Is back together again." James said for they had won and beaten Graviton to submission.
But as the good times were about to begin they ended before they could. "FREEZE!" Came a voice of authority as the group looked and saw armed soldiers with large and powerful weapons trained on them or more specifically trained on the Hulk. "Step away from the Hulk." A soldier said glaring at the group. "He's a wanted fugitive with a cell with his name on it in the cube." He said as the Hulk began to growl in response.
But then Iron-Heart took a stand and got in the line of fire. "You want to take the Hulk away then you and I will have a nice long talk with a Schnee Dust Company Lawyer." Iron-Heart said as her faceplate covered her face again.
"Yeah you can't take the Hulk he helped saved Vale!" Ruby called out with Crescent Rose ready to fight what may very well be the law itself.
"He's a hero just like any of us." James added as it was clear if the people of Vale or any of the Kingdoms wanted to arrest the Hulk then they have to go through the Avengers themselves.
But just as it seemed a huge fight was about to take place a new yet familiar voice was heard. "Would you all please stand down?" Ozpin was heard as he walked in cane and all. "After all they are right they managed to save millions today." Ozpin said with Glynda right next to him as Hulk saw her.
"Glynda?" Hulk asked remembering her from the time before Forest went on the run. Glynda smiled to him and nodded.
"Hello Hulk." Glynda greeted as Yang almost wanted to gag and smile at Beauty and the Beast going on here.
"Though we will need to account for damages and clean up." Ozpins aid as the Avengers and RWBY Saw the damage Graviton's attack had caused today.
"The Schnee Dust Company will reimburse the Kingdom of Vale and handle any and all repairs needed." Weiss said as that was understandable.
The Soldiers began to back down but were still on edge after what had just happened today. "You all made a difference today… perhaps you should try and do so more often… there are threats that I'm sure none of you can match alone." Ozpin said before he began to take his leave to coordinate repairs and such for the damages here.
"He's right." Weiss said as all eyes were on her. "James had the right idea in a sense alone we can take on maybe one or two common foes but for foes like Graviton or the Mandarin this goes beyond one singular Huntsman or hero." Weiss said as James nodded in response to Weiss's statement.
"Exactly we accomplished something big here today alone we can take on threats to some but together we can tackle threats to everyone. And if we can't succeed in that regard… then we'll be sure to avenge the people and world wronged by evil." James said as Ruby smiled at this as well.
"Avengers like your team James." Ruby said as Weiss shrugged a bit but Hulk grinned.
"Avengers… Hulk likes name." Hulk added showing he was on board here.
"I'm with big green on this." Yang said elbowing Hulk in a playful manner.
Hulk smiled back and tried to bro punch Yang… but he went a bit too hard and sent her flying by mistake with a yelp from Yang. "Oops." Hulk cringed realizing what he did.
"I'm ok!" Yang called out causing Hulk to sigh in relief there.
(Scene Break Salem lair)
Salem glared at the scene before her as the seer saw the whole thing. Furthermore it seems Remnant World Wide Web was already circulating it. Avengers… it seems these 'Avengers,' despite the damage their fight with Graviton had caused was uniting Remnant as opposed to dividing it. Salem could not have this and already she had given her orders out. Watts was given orders to try and ruin the Avengers use any media outlet he must to paint them as villains.
It may be minor damage but if these Avengers stood for a united Remnant then she will break them apart. Salem began to hover away in the shadows as she began to contemplate… until she arrived at her private chambers. The power Torunn showed… it was not that of a Maiden she knew this now. That beam she used she knew it well but it wasn't right. That beam belonged to the brother Gods particularly the dark one but they would not return without the relics being united. So it was impossible for either of them to arrive and procreate with humans… unless Torunn was not human or of the Gods progeny.
Salem was no stranger to pantheons since for a time she thought she could locate one to undue the hell the Gods forced upon her. But that led to failure… but with the Gods gone perhaps a Pantheon had arrived and Torunn was a child of such a pantheon. She could use this… since she had her suspicions ever since bring Cinder into the fold. Cinder had a similar aura to Torunn in the regard of their heritage. Clearly Cinder had not inherited it from her mother or father so it would suggest that her father was her step-father and her biological father was of such a pantheon as well.
But as she arrived in her private chambers she saw an old rune and a hand print. She left it be ever since her 'father,' had been slain by Ozma millennia ago. She put her hand on it as it was a crest for the left hand. Her father had entered this hidden room through the hand many times but Salem at the time had never been allowed in. Nor had she ever bothered to enter it herself but now she decided otherwise. Salem then put her hand on it before a light shined from it almost scanning her hand before it began to move and open up. It released steam from the opening as Salem felt something off about it.
Salem began to make her way inside the room and saw it was nothing like the rest of her fortress. She had modeled it around her father's old tower where she was locked up and never garnered interest to explore for far. Mind you it resides away from the Dark Gods home and luckily Salem managed to move it with her magic to this location. She began to enter it and saw a suit of armor awaiting her.
An armor the left the face open but was made for a feminine body… her body structure to be exact. The Armor was gold plated but the gold was not normal gold. She could tell it was something not of this world as she walked around it inspecting it. It had a black under armor with an azure blue mixed in for aesthetics and a small tail skirt to it giving it the image of a dark Queen or a female Overlord. She then saw what appeared to be a rune that she carefully put her hand over it. She then found a button of sorts and pressed it causing it to activate.
In its image was the image of her father as a hologram but different. He was still as massive as she remembered but his skin was violet colored and his face seemed deformed in a sense. She knew his face well and knew that her father… may have hidden secrets even from her. His outfit matched the one she saw before her before the hologram began to play.
"Salem… if you are seeing this message then what I had expected had occurred. I had either died unable to reveal the truth to you, I found a way to return to my home but unable to bring you, or either you or someone had killed me taking your freedom by force." Her father spoke as Salem was both angered and intrigued. Reason that her father made her imprisonment a test of sorts angered her but she listened none the less.
"As you can already tell from my appearance… I am not of this world or this universe in fact… where I come from I was known as the Mad Titan whose name was feared by all the universe… Thanos." The now identified Thanos introduced as Salem heard this and oddly enough it made sense in some obvious yet odd way. "I will explain all that I can but in this reality this universe… there rests six singularities called the Infinity Stones." Thanos explained as images of the six stones appeared before her. "Space, Time, Reality, Power, Soul, and Mind these stones are powerful that only those like us… those like the gods who ruled this world can wield them." Thanos explained as Salem was intrigued. "Only beings of great power can hold them and to my great joy upon your birth that power passed down to you." Thanos' message explained but he wasn't done.
"In my Universe I had sought to gather and unite them. Alone they are powerful but when gathered you would be at a level above the Gods. With just a snap of your finger you can destroy them and as much of the universe as you desire." Thanos said before snapping his fingers to show her. "Just like that." Thanos message told before continuing. "Regardless of my fate leading to your discovering this message I pass to you the mission to locate the Infinity Stones and use them as you see fit. Balance the universe, destroy it I care little but know I set you on the right path for it." Thanos said before another container opened. "This is the Infinity Gauntlet to which I had made for you… use it with the Infinity Stones and be what you were always destined to be… my legacy lives through you mu daughter." Thanos message said as Salem was wide eyed before it ended.
Salem looked the gauntlet and saw it was made of the same gold armoring as the armor her father no doubt made for her. She then smirked because as much as she hated to say it if there was one thing her father was not… it was a liar. She then slipped her slender pale left arm into the Gauntlet and lifted it up before clenching her fist in it. "Father thank you… I should have come here long ago." Salem said as Thanos plan had become a success.
The Mad Queen has begun her hunt for the Infinity Stones… now the question here was how to find them.
(TBC)
ESKK: Well End of Volume 1 folks. I hope you all enjoyed it as we enter the next Volume. What you thought I'd actually bring Mad Fucking Titan Thanos here jeez I teased at it but consider this, if Jacque Schnee was Iron-Monger, and Whitely was Titanium-Man, with an OC as Hulk what made you think I'd bring the actual Thanos into this story. Though it was a good run while it lasted so until next leave a review for me and again I say ja-ne.
