Prologue: the whims of imps and devils.
In an infinite void. The figure of a small being is sitting in nothingness itself.
He lies, floating in the infinite vastness. He is angry, it is not something usual for him. He always knows how to entertain himself, but lately things are not going as usual. An outside force, a rival that prevents your entertainment. Denies it.
This powerful opposing force has left him weak and vulnerable to the degree of having to flee, take refuge and think about his course of action. Corhow was it possible that a being like andHe required to flee. He felt humiliated. Nothing so humiliating had happened to him since he ran into that overgrown crying brat and even then it wasn't as painful as it is now.
That guy in blue would get what he deserved maybe not from him, but he was sure that the big blue would change the game sooner or later, andHe just had to wait and eventually he would take back his game room, however, that will be then what will become of him now?
What to do until then?
What could entertain him until his favorite toy iste available?
He snapped his fingers and remembered his favorite seconds
Those four will do. I haven't seen them in a long time, not since they ran into the big blue. What changes will they have? Would the children have grown up? The emotion almost seemed to be "impossible" to contain, but, a thought crossed his crazy head.
He smiled with an expression that would chill the blood of the most stoic.
This was so far his craziest, most ambitious and entertaining idea in a long time. and of course very dangerous. Moving away from the center of its reality beyond the compression of men, beyond the knowledge of even gods, I observe it, to the multiverse, the 52 lands in perfect harmony and then I look down into that lightless pool, in infinite agony .
- "52 what a good joke"-
PFor beings like him, beings who could see the whole picture, those who understood the reality of their existence could see reality as it is, he did not observe a multiverse, no, he observed something else, he found everything
The omniverse
Every possible reality, every possible small possibility scattered throughout the continuous space and time, a frontier of infinite possibilities, his plan was not perfect, on the contrary it was chaotic, but that made it so much fun.
I observe the actors of their macabre cosmic game, I had to be careful because the forces with which I would play could attract the attention of undesirable and I did not want to have to deal with that idiot made up of universes, getting into their territory to annoy mortals was a thing, but bothering that guy was something else, he knew he couldn't be careless, but this wasn't his first detour with cosmic beings
- And now there is only one detail missing, what world will be my centerpiece in all this, let's see- his voice was full of emotion almost like that of a child in a toy store waiting to buy his new acquisition
The options were endless, the variables he could generate delighted him. Which one of them could he choose? He would let luck decide he covered his eyes and with an amused smile he extended his hand and slowly opened his eyes to contemplate his choice
- A fragmented moon, wonderful! let's see what we can do -
Entering with glee I look at the prime earth of that multiverse one small from what I see, but it would serve their purposes.
I watch and watch until his patience finally paid off. Throughout creation, regardless of the embodiment of its reality, its universe, its multiverse, there would always be those worlds destined for death, worlds where the alternative is already predetermined by the actions of others, worlds where your decision is the wrong one, whatever be worlds where your effort your determination your value does not matter, because someone else did the opposite to you and won. Worlds that are only the product of a bad cosmic joke.
And that small inert asteroid in space one that would originally extinguish the life of a planet now, would now change the destiny of a world, a civilization and the destiny of thousands of alternate worlds and as a dominate effect three universes would come into contact.
However, before starting he still had to make a stop to a very hot place, fortunately he had sunscreen.
- Hello little imp, what do you want from me- a being as red as no other look at him with a macabre smile
- How about making a deal?
- interesting-

Chapter 1: Remnant's last day
Earth 32323-R
An asteroid floats without an apparent destination in the cold emptiness. A common scene within the cosmos if not for a detail, this is not a simple ordinary asteroid, no, this is a colony of one of the deadliest races in the universe. Life-eating monsters, a deadly plague for every planet.
They are many hundreds maybe grouped one on top of the other and they are hungry. hibernating to save strength while letting their ship systems do the rest.
They have crossed galaxies devouring world after world with their insatiable hunger, this journey has been more turbulent than usual but finally their asteroid is in the path of a habitable planet. Your next nest.
A planet known as Remnant
The asteroid was finally attracted by the planet's gravity and it was then that the inhabitants of the same knew one of the most terrible evils in the universe, but were unaware of the true terror that awaited them.
It started as a flash in the sky. And a murmur through the clouds, but what followed was unrelenting hunger.
The hive invaders were only the preamble to the end of their world.
Kingdom of Atlas. Mantle
One week after impact. One week after the invasion began, the sounds of gunfire flooded the streets of the city, crawling desperately on the ground was a soldier of the Atlas forces, bleeding from his right leg, trying to move away in the direction of the safe zone, to a man in his trade danger was usual after all fighting grimms was what he was forReady, I never doubt his duty, even once General Ironwood himself congratulated him, a good soldier obeys orders, that was always his way of seeing things, but the creature behind him was not a grimm.
-H-help, I-I need medical assistance, my platoon fell I repeat and-I arrrg- an orange tentacle held his leg breaking it in two -aarrrrrgh! Holy arrg!
What was stalking the poor soldier was not one of the soulless creatures that he used to fight, It was something much worse, the creature was at least two meters with two large tentacles that it used as legs to move, a triangular skull of enormous size, two large red eyes that chilled the blood, despite being similar to an insect possessed a huge jaw with several rows of drooling fangs, a nightmare monster, the tentacle caught the man and dragged him towards the creature.
The man's heart beat like never in his life not even the most terrifying of the grimm had terrified him as much as the being in front of him, throughout that week any hunter or soldier knew what those things did only two options, death or reproduction.
Unfortunately the creature chose the second one, he could feel how his neck burned after that thing touched him, his entire body twisted, the creature almost forming a smile, the Monster watched him, only for a second after his skull was exploded by a bullet Filled with igneous dust, the insectoid's corpse collapsed. However, the poor soldier twisted while he could feel his jaw deform, the pain was unbearable, before losing his sanity he begged his last will.
- kk-i-ki-i-kil-l kill me- an act of absolute mercy, she knew it, she had already seen what was happening, she knew it and with a great regret in her heart she pulled the trigger.
A bullet pierced the soldier's skull, the body fell lifeless to the ground where others such as soldiers and hunters decorated the streets not atlas soldiers if not from all over remnant as well as creatures with the appearance of insects, monstrous beings that roamed the streets ignoring the casualties that occurred among their own because their numbers were high.
The sound of the rifle being reloaded allowed the sniper to see the landscape of what was once a bustling city shadowing what once was.
she was a hunter, her silver eyes now showed fatigue highlighted by the dark circles of her eyes a couple of tears formed on her face hitting the ground angrily
-Another more- he whispered, he breathed a moment to regain his composure, it was not easy, not easy.
How many hours had passed since he slept? his clothes were in poor condition, his precious hood full of claw marks and dried blood stains, he was almost out of ammunition.
She is Ruby Rose, she has always been someone positive, a promising young leader, a loving sister, even in the darkest moments of her odyssey Ruby never lost hope that is why even in this landscape of desolation she still had faith in her cause, faith can move mountains, can cause seas to be separated but that day faith would not be enough.
The sound of bullets brought ruby back to reality, on top of one of the buildings of what remained of the devastated mantle, the young black-haired girl sighed tired, crescent rose was like her worn out as was the entire team of the Young Huntress, two days of fighting followed with just a couple of hours of breaks were bringing her to the brink of extreme exhaustion.
They called themselves the carnivorous monsters Broods with an apparent insatiable hunger, they did not distinguish between animals, humans or fauns for them everything was food, similar in appearance to insects they were even more voracious than the Grimm, much more wild and territorial as well as being highly intelligent so simple strategies were ineffective against them and their advanced weapons.
"Here they come," he pointed behind what was left of a weiss shcnee vehicle, the best friend of the silver-eyed girl, observing the small army of creatures that were heading towards them. Like ruby, the former heir to the largest dust company, she was very worn, her hair was stained with mud and dirt, as well as no longer wearing her ponytail and generally looking sordid.
Weiss summoned a lancer to support her in combat, it was particularly useful against the flying variant of those alien insects, even without losing her grace despite her precarious state she moved fast causing clean and lethal cuts, it was almost like seeing her dance against monstrous space insects.
"Well, you were expecting bastards, here I am" yang xiao long, ruby's sister, a sister like no other, ruby was not surprised that her sister provoked the brood directly
yang charged with emeber celica taking advantage of the momentum of his shots flew hitting one of them directly in the eye - "die" - he said angrily, a brood hid from yang's sight
The blonde was so immersed in her fight against two other broods that she did not notice the one who was hiding among the corpses of his own race, the brood smiled extended his limb ready to take advantage of yang's blind spot, but the blow never came
instead, his limb flew off. The person in charge is about 10 meters away with her gun in hand, it was none other than blake belladonna, the black-haired woman was very battered especially by the bandages that covered her right arm visible by her torn jacket, blake was the member of the ruby team that was in worse condition, but that did not stop her from supporting her partner
"thanks blake!"- Yang thanked from his communicator with a smile reloading Ember Celica
- "be more careful, I can't just pay attention to you"- scold the black-haired woman
- "Oh come on I know you don't take your eyes off me"- Yang said jokingly for a second, just to calm Blake's mood
-"no time for yang jokes"
- "I know"- his eyes turned red- "believe me I know"- he said, retaking an angry face
a brood roared in front of her face, drooling her face and part of her hair
-"You are so dead"- the veins on yang's forehead clearly marked his anger
Before the brood responded, a cane hit the brood disorienting him, the cane bounced towards its owner, a young man with brown hair who jumped and raised the cane giving a strong blow that knocked out the brood
- "Oscar, that was mine!" - the blonde complained
- ''oops ... sorry''- oscar pine was still a rookie when it came to fighting, certainly in recent days he had progressed a lot, more out of necessity given the situation - "I thought you needed help"
- "It does not matter man, there are still many of these phenomena to face" - yang and oscar advanced together while three other brood emerged from a sewer - "come on ugly, come and kill them" - yang declared clashing their fists
Before continuing, Oscar could see how a brood was thrown from above the buildings before exploding into a thousand pieces, he did not need to be a genius to know who was responsible.
Nora Valekry with her trusty weapon in her hand was angry very angry, Magnhild had traces of the brood in all the mass, from remains of teeth and blood to pieces of hanging meat.
- "That's all they have!- I challenge them while the brood surrounded her- "they will lack hands to touch me"- Nora threatened without being intimidated
- "WE WILL CLEAR YOU HUMAN!"- the brood that threw himself at Nora although the blow never came, the brood quickly fell silent before a hail of bullets coming from a serious young man with long black hair
Lie Ren shot at any brood that came within the range of stormflower, along with blake they were supporting as much as they could, acting as the rear guard.
- "Thanks ren"- said nora as she charged another brood
Ren just sighed with a strange mixture of relief and exhaustion
- "well done" - compliment blake
- "I wish I could do more" - Ren commented
- "me too" - blake could see how two brood were beheaded to his right, two atlas soldiers were rescued by a young blond with his shield blocking the appendages of insects
- "Back off, I cover you"- jaune arc ordered the two wounded soldiers, without hesitation they obeyed by retreating to a safer area while thanking the hunter
- "FOOD IS LEAKING AWAY!" - A brood claimed trying to reach the two soldiers, but jaune gave him a left hook stopping him
- "You will not go anywhere"- jaune activated the second stage of crocea mors decapitating the brood - "who continues"- he said extending his sword while covering the others
The brood roared pouncing on him, jaune did not flinch and tightly held his shield and sword and confronted them squarely without fear.
the hunters were supported by the paladins and knights of atlas who did what they could to keep the numbers of the insects at bay
the creatures roared in a stampede, the atlas robots were hardly a nuisance to the insectoid creatures, their protrusions splitting into army machines as if they were made of paper.
Ruby covered Jaune by ditching various broods by alternating between scythe and rifle forms.
- "thanks ruby"
- "you're welcome jaune"
- "How is the situation of the southern squad"
Ruby tensed for a moment before shaking her head, about 10 minutes ago she was ordered to support a platoon of soldiers arriving from the south, despite using her profile to shorten the path when ruby arrived, nothing could be done for those soldiers
Jaune sighed, the silence of his partner was enough answer
- "h-there was one, it was infected by a spore"
- "ruby" - jaune opened his eyes worried
-"I-I shot him, I killed him"
- "you saved him" - said jaune - "you know what happens once you have a spore in your body ruby, you did the right thing"
- "so why doesn't it feel like the right thing to do"
jaune approached her putting his hand on her shoulder
- "You know I say the reason, I do not like this more than you, but that man at least died like that as a man, I am sure that the family of that man would thank you"
-" I doubt it jaune, I am done, this is done and I will have to deal with it" - Ruby said, her faith had been put to the test many times, but she would stand firm not only for her mental health but for that of all her friends
- "I know what you feel"- he said with a melancholic face
-...
- "ruby if any of those things infect me"
- "Stop, don't you dare say what you're saying, or as a joke jaune- Ruby said very seriously"
- "... I'm sorry ruby, I didn't mean to"
- "I know, I know you didn't, that just ... I don't want to lose any of you"
- You will not ruby, you said it, remember, we are hunters and these things ... they are just our new prey
- I hope you're right jaune- holding cresent rose ruby watch as more brood approached them
The fight did not wait as both hunters repelled the aggressive broods.
- "This has no end"- said jaune with his sword raised and stained with the "blood" of the broods
- "Don't let them put a jaune spore on you"- ruby was serious without stopping seeing the insects
- "I won't ruby"- both leaders attacked without fear- "neither will you"
How come things got to this point?
Just a week ago things seemed less complicated ... before the brood colony asteroid crashed into the ocean the impact killed much of the nearby marine fauna, but the broods were intact despite the crash as their machines protected them .
They emerged hungry from their hibernation, content to find a virgin world to feed on. Fortunately, they did not take long to find the mainland, a small island with a lot of vegetation, but especially with a lot of meat.
.
.
.
In a few hours they organized the first attack, the unfortunate ones were the inhabitants of Kuo Kuana. For generations the island served as a refuge for the Faunus against the Grimm and sometimes against the humans, but in the face of the relentless broods ... conquering it took only three hours ... it was a one-sided slaughter against the faunus.
The broods mercilessly devoured the fauns they could regardless of the men women or children, the sick or the healthy, all were food in the eyes of the broods, the screams of the faunus were a Machiavellian orchestra for the invaders.
The blood of the faunus flooded its streets, never before even from the grimms had they suffered such a calamity, the wave of panic and fear was like a fiery beacon for the grimms
That was the first notice
A warning that only a remnant being could feel
Only a third of its population escaped led by a traumatized Guira Belladonna and his wife barely escaped from that hell, what Guira observed was not something that any man should see.
What those monsters did to the fauns surpassed any horror that some human or the grimm himself has ever done, a couple of hours later they were the ones who gave the first report of the invaders on the shores of mistral at the beginning they took them as crazy Traumatized, naive, the few mistral defenses would soon know their mistake.
That was on the first day
The second day began with the formal attack on the mistral, the brood reproduce quickly and with their technology crossing the sea was not a challenge. Mistral managed to repel the initial attack, but that was only the attempt to know the terrain by the broods
The third day began with coordinated attacks on vacuo and okay. By then all hunters knew of the threat of the broods because they were relentless and the rumors and reports did not wait.
Atlas was mortified by these creatures especially General Ironwood. The creatures' advantage aside from their numbers was undoubtedly that unlike the inhabitants of Remnant and their poor and slow communication system, they could coordinate their offensives with their most advanced weapons.
The fourth day was the most surprising since the broods encountered a strong resistance not from the Human-Faun army but from the largest opposing force on the planet.
The Grimm, the brood learned that the grimm were more than just wild beasts, many of their own fell before the soulless monstrosities, but their numbers did not diminish. The fights between both sides were initially even, but as the hours passed the broods dominated the savage Grimm, learning from them, adapting and overcoming them.
For their part, the humans retreated to their most protected and fortified cities. Civilian evacuations were property. Mantle and Atlas received large groups of refugees. Large cities like patch or argus were now mere ghost towns, not even Grimm's worst group had forced such a massive evacuation.
The fifth day finally arrived with the attack on mantle and atlas, an attack that has continued without quarter until now, the hunters withdrew throughout the sixth fighting and falling relentlessly which brings us to the present day on the seventh day.
Ruby still wondered at what point had everything gotten crazy? while dodging the attacks of the brood by leaping over the roofs of the abandoned mantle fighters while the snow-covered, shattered streets of mantle were covered in red
Just a few days ago they came to mantle from heaven after knowing the secret of ozpin, the situation of mantle and atlas was not the best, but they found a valuable ally in general ironwood, they were finally appointed licensed hunters, they had finally arrived to a safe place after beacon, finally it seemed that things would return to the way they were before the fall of beacon.
With amity as a new beacon of hope in their fight to protect the relics, but now ... now they didn't know what tomorrow held for them
.

Ruby watched weiss decapitate one of the broods while being backed by nora who crushed the skulls of the insects with a satisfied smile. Both girls were reaching the limits of their auras, but neither wavered.
Yang and Oscar shot down a group of 5 to their left, the blonde was covered in the strange blood that the broods had, the worst thing was that her hair was stained with the sticky and smelly substance, that really made her furious, yang was a of the reasons why they still kept that sector standing.
Blake stayed in the rear with Ren supporting in everything they could, as for Ruby she and Jaune coordinated the best they could to the rest.
Emerald colored lightning shot down a large group of the flying variant of the broods courtesy of Penny Polendina who flew overhead with her swords knocking down everything she could. Rubysmiled a little quiet had passedabout two hours from that she had no news of her metallic friend, seeing her in a room reassured her a lot
- "Shoot" - I order arriving as reinforcement a captain of the atlasian forces remaining to the last remains of the broods
Ruby watched as the few remaining broods fell back, waiting for a better opportunity, but not before roaring in frustration. The area was safe ... for now
- "Beta and epsilon units go north and help the rest to recover sectors 88 and 87 the rest of us will escort the reconstruction team to fix the ruptures of the eastern wall"- one of the many captains of atlas dictated the new course of action
- "This has no end"- weiss said tired, they had been fighting against that group for more than two hours
- "I know, but right now they need us more than ever" - said ruby - "we must cooperate and help in whatever way we can"
- "I know that, but I almost miss the Grimm"- complained the former heir
- "do not say that"
- "It's just ... I'm tired ruby, I don't know how much we can be like thi"s - the defeatist feeling was not something common in Weiss, however it was one that was becoming more and more common.
- "We will get out of this"- Ruby put her shoulder on the white hair- "You will see, together we can overcome this situation, I know that things are not seen ... weiss optimists and maybe you think that I am naive, but deep inside me I know we will overcome this, you can call me a fool, but I believe it even now"- he said remembering the poor soldier
- "You are not a fool, I trust you ruby and I pray that your words are true and even if we fall I am glad to fall next to my best friend"- she returned a smile
both teams approached to regroup, yang approached blake to check his arm next to her jaune checked blake
- "Well at least we are still standing"- commented Ren
- "That's something at least"- sigh blake- "you heard what happened with the Team FNKY "
- "Half of them are hospitalized" - Jaune replied- "I recently contacted flynt him and neon are taking care of their companions and the rest of the refugees in the academy"
- "That is the third team that falls out of combat"- Weiss commented
- "At this rate we will run out of people to support us"- said blake down
Sighing heavily yang he wondered what they would do now unfortunately the problems increased
- "supposing that we are not the next..."- Ren speak with bitterness
-...
- "we will not be"- answered blake trying not to lose heart
- "me too i hope so blake"
- "You know strange to be able to eat a pancake" - said Nora, anything was fine in order to lighten the atmosphere- "I say I think I'm starting to forget how they taste and might eat about 50 right now"
- "at this moment nora I believe that I would eat 100" - said weiss
- "At least they are hungry I think I'll go vegan after seeing how they eat these things" - said jaune
- "Really?" - Asked the blonde with a raised eyebrow - "I would like to eat a good piece of juicy meat right now"
- "Yang!"- complained blake
- "what, it's not my fault to be carnivorous it's in my nature" - yang argument
- "that's true she broke the record of who eats more sausages in patch, manage to eat 300 sausages beating dad"
- "and might have eaten more if not for those corrupt judges"
the group smile a little oscar and nora actually managed to laugh a little blake let go a sigh, but too smiled
The captain Atlasian observed them from afar in other circumstancias would have scolded them despite the studentcThe laugh was comforting within all the chaos that reigned. a moment of calm after hours of struggle, after seeing so many pass away
it was almost unreal
The few soldiers who were still with both teams took a moment to rehydrate, some of them had not touched food or water in hours.
Nora Now watch the sky while the snow fell, thoughtful above all else, worried in fact, on days like that she wondered what would Pyrrah do? his introspection was interrupted when she notice something far away in the sky
- "Hey, what is that" - I point out suddenly a battered nora in the distance a strange large black cloud approaching
- "a storm?" - asked ruby
-"with this weather?" - question oscar
- "Can you see it's Blake?" - Jaune asked
- "It is very far, but it is my idea or that cloud is moving very fast"
- "too fast"- Ruby commented narrowing her eyes
- "That is not a cloud"- reported seriously by his penny communicators with a notable concern in his voice, they turned their faces to the sky glimpsing the redhead watching from the air as he descended with a very perplexed face- "that is ... Grimm"
Almost like a prophetic comment all the hunters' eyes widened as the sky turned dark so dark and sinister that some thought it was a nightmare, from mantle and atlas all could clearly see a massive army of Grimm as It had never been seen which, to the relief of the worn out hunters, passed by both cities and went to the territory of the broods, likewise one of colossal size leading them stood out from all the other Grimms, many never imagined getting to see such a giant Grimm
- "Well that answers the question of where the Grimms have been these days"- Yang affirmed with concern and fatigue
- "Salem is ... scared"- Oscar commented low enough to go unnoticed by the rest of the soldiers, but not by the blonde
- "I don't know what's worse than those things really scare someone like Salem, or that I actually want her to win."
- "Her cannot die by any means, I hope that this advantage is like with us the key factor for their victory over them"
- "The way I see it Oscar, whoever wins we lose, what does Ozpin think of this?"
- "He ... he's thoughtful, I can feel it, this, all of this is overwhelming him, he's probably salem in a similar state"
Before the conversation continued the scrolls of the two teams sounded
- "New orders"- communicate jaune
- "They are ... from General Ironwood"- Ruby clarified
- What do they say ruby?" - Weiss asked
- "He wants us to retreat to the central area and wait for orders"
- "!what!"- Blake didn't show nothing emoved by such a drastic decision - "we need here our forces can hardly withdraw to these things"
-"Blake is right"- speak yang- "he can't wait for us to retreat just when we finally begin to draw a real fort"
- "The general considers that we should go for a certain equipment in Pietro's workshop and return to the atlas academy"- Ruby clarified
- "Well, go ahead, penny, with her flight she will arrive faster than us"- the replicas of the faunus were understandable given the situation
- "I'm sorry to report this friend Blake, but I have also received new orders, the Grimm army that has just appeared has not gone unnoticed by the general at all, I must escort the winter maiden with Winter to a location with greater protection."
- "Also, Blake I would like Jaune to recharge your aura at least a little, your arm is still very badly injured, it is clear that your aura is not recovering at the rate we want, you need painkillers and incidentally we must change your bandages" - Ren replied
Yang noted how tired blake was and the state of sher arm, thanks in part to Ren's semblance she was able to calm down to think with perspective didn't want blake to know what it's like to lose a part of your body.
- "Ren is right" - yang approached his partner - "we have been losing more aura than we recharge, we cannot act recklessly not in this situation, your aura will heal your arm but for that you must rest, which lately we do not do much and you know that coming from me that is saying a lot"
Despite not being completely convinced, Blake nodded a couple of hours ago a brood was close to breaking his arm if it weren't for Oscar and Nora would probably not have his member now, both teams left while they were covered by the rest of the atlas forces.
In another side
Salem was angry, not saying that was little to his state of mind, probably the feeling of anger he felt was comparable to that he felt for the brothers. These creatures came out of nowhere and attacked left and right, years of planning thrown into the drain by the interference of these creatures.
But she was the mother of all Grimm salem will not fall this day.
Never before had she created so many Grimms for a single task that the army she planned to lead against atlas fell short of what she threw at the Broods. Next to cinder, neo, emerald and watts walkedn Between the fortified streets of Atlas the chaos of multiple battles was the perfect curtain to infiltrate the city and with the help of Watts they did not have the slightest problem, ironwood was too focused on defending against the brood to notice.
- "Go cinder"- he ordered with his so calm tone he pointed to a location among the skyscrapers a small green wake landed, despair leads to error and ironwood was very desperate- "there, go and claim what is yours"- the black-haired girl outlined a smile
-"emerald stay here"- ordered the black-haired
- "!what! but I"
- "It's an order"- he said dryly- "I will do This my way bluntly, I'm sick of waiting"
-"Well, what are you waiting for, go away"- Watts said concentrating on his scroll to the anger of Cinder
- "follow me neo" - I declare turning around, neo alone rolled The annoyed eyes of that attitude were it not for the presence of Salem surely Neo would have claimed.
emarald could only watch helplessly as cinder withdrew leaving her next to salem and watts could only see how neo accompanied her
- "oh james I am disappointed in you, I had high expectations of your achievements, but in the end you were just an annoyance in my shoes."
However, the dark mistress of the Grimms began to hear a loud flapping sound, perhaps a swarm of flies drawn by the pestilence? No, it was something much worse, a swarm of hungry and angry brood heading for the robot girl.
- "It seems that cinder will have a greater challenge than I expected"- commented funny watts, if the looks could kill watts he would have already died many times at the hands of the green movie
For his part, Salem looked at the swarm that formed several meters from them, clenched his fists and continued on his way, those creatures really irritated her, they even dared to attack her castle during one of the raids, she had to find a new refuge in this crisis and the schnee mansion seemed like the right place for the moment.
The Atlas Academy, a sanctuary for hunters especially those graduated from it, after the fall of Beacon was probably the best fortified academy and that is why it was now the perfect refuge for both people and keep it as well as refugees from all parts of remnant.
In a lucid moment ironwood managed to fold all his ships and get as many people as he could from the surface, perhaps it was because unlike the Grimm the brood were highly intelligent to be fooled by cheap tactics and were incredibly evil to allow themselves abandon those people to their fate
The grimms have never shown any mercy when hunting, they cruelly snatch the life of their prey without remorse or satisfaction, that was their vile nature, instead the broods ... they did something worse than just kill, something that even Salem found repulsive, the brood did not reproduce like any other being, they implant their spores in hosts, they infect the host making them part of them, part of their hive, the process is horrible to see, ironwood after seeing it with their own eyes do not doubt it and cooperated with robyn hill to allow the people of mantle to enter the defenses of atlas.
In other circumstances ironwood would probablynyou would have been more radical in their actions, but these creatures were far more dangerous than the Grimm and they consumed Double if not more than the Grimms hunted, Remnant could not afford to be left with such a depleted population.
From his ironwood office he looked at a hologram of the situation in mantle. The battle had come to a standstill, the downed areas did not last long in control of the broods but the large number of these and their clear strategies were indicative of a chain of command.hierarchical, a queen perhaps, after all her insect-like appearance led him to theorize that scenario
- "How are things going?" - Asked entering a tired qrow next to clover the leader of the AceOps
- "We have managed to resist for now, but I am afraid that they are already beginning to understand how to counteract our defenses, I was informed of a large flying group that penetrated our airspace"- Clover informed
- "We already deployed our defense forces, they are doing everything possible to eliminate them sir"
- "It is not enough, we must close our perimeter, order the hunters to retreat and fortify zones 33 and 44, that will save us time and allow our air squadrons to regain control with some effort, we can bring the refugees from Shade"
- "Sir"- Clover took a moment to speak- "I'm sorry to report that in shade the platoon that we sent as reinforcement ... shut up, only one of the squads returned, apparently they have surrounded the city, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time for the worst"
- "Damn!" - The anger in his voice was palpable - "Another one, at this rate only atlas and keep him standing, have we had satisfactory news from vale?"
- "the latest intelligence report reported that their defenses still resist, but they are running out of ammunition at an alarming rate according to our analysts by the end of the day their powder supply will be dangerously low"
- "we can no longer send freighters, at this rate we can only send one last evacuation group before we lose more people"- frustration and fatigue were notorious in ironwood, when ruby's group arrived at atlas a few days ago he was already feeling tired But now it was a miracle that she didn't collapse from the stress.
- "James you are putting too much pressure"
- "!Don't you dare qrow!"- Ironwood interrupted him with a notable tone of disgust- "Salem was already a thing, now this, not even Oz knows what to do about these things"
- "I know that James, but by taking yourself to the physical limit you will not achieve anything"- recriminate qrow
- And what else can I do Qrow, what else can we do, our resources are running out, accessing amity is now no longer possible, we have no communications and we don't even know if Salem will be able to eliminate these pests
- "We still have plan D sir" - suggested clover
- "That will not happen until the bravo team reports their situation"
- "Plan D?"
- "A bomb, the most powerful we have, loaded with a very volatile dust" - Clover clarified - "two days ago one of our teams left for where we calculated was the fall of the asteroid that brought these aberrations"
- "I thought that the theory that these monsters came with that rock was just that a theory"
- "Theory or not is the only clue we have of the origin of the Brood and our best chance of figuring out how to stop them" - ironwood was tired long ago that he had reached his limit, but he should prevail for the rest, he will not allow remnant to fall
- "sir".-clover took the word in his communicator- "they inform me that Fria's bedroom is under attack"
- "what! send reinforcements we can't afford to lose her"
- "I will go" - said qrow - "you just point me the way, we already have many soldiers deployed surely I will be able to arrive on time"
- "Well let's go, both of us"
- "Quick Clover don't let us lose our only advantage"
- "I won't sir"
the hunters withdrew leaving ironwood alone
- "James ironwood" - a voice sounded in his mind
- "What the hell"- was fatigue finally getting to him?
- "Listen to me james ironwood I am breaking the sacred rules of mine to warn you"
- "Warn me Who are you? show yourself now"- james slowly took his weapon prepared for the worst
- "I have seen the actions of a being of great power to move the strings for a catastrophe, I am the last hope for yours to live, the broods are the least you have to fear james ironwood because a force with which you do not imagine is approaching and if you want something of your world to last you must listen to my instructions"- from the shadows a man emerged his totally white eyes surprised ironwood unlike the eyes of a blind man, these made james feel that all his secrets were visible
in his eyes he could only see something ... death ... death in the form of a purple goliath
Penny landed at full speed and went to the chamber where Fria was guarded, the impact of the tower only made her realize how a priority it was to get her out of there. The sound of metal being scratched and molded alerted her with its blades in prepared for the worst and suddenly the walls collapsed revealing a dozen broods.
- !EAT YOU HAVE TO EAT!
- !EAT THEM ALL!
- !WE WILL EAT YOU!
- !SHE DOESN'T SMELL GOOD A MACHINE?!
- !But we'll eat it anyway!
- !IF YOU HAVE TO EAT IT!
- "!Behind!" - Penny's blades pierced her eyes and with her fists she shattered her jaws - "I will not be surpassed by you, I am the defender of mantle"
- "Down" - the redhead reacted to the voice and was covered in a rain of ice projectiles that hit the brood, Winter had arrived
Ice creations confronted the broods giving Penny a chance to go with Winter
- "We must hurry penny"
- "What about them"
- "I will blow up this corridor with enough dust to knock down the tower next to them, getting Fria out is the most important thing"
They both entered the bedroom where the Winter Maiden lay, an older woman connected to vital systems. So fragile it was hard to believe that a person like her harbored one of the greatest powers on the planet. Winter had already been informed of the support of Qrow and Clover very soon things would be better
Before either of the two could do something an explosion shook the entire wall that faced the outside now it was nothing more than charred debris there flying out was the criminal and one of the worst threats of Remnant Cinder Fall
Around the same time the few remaining broods broke down the door that prevented them from accessing their food. Winter and Penny were surrounded which of the two threats was worse than the other. A pitched battle between the three factions began.
Away from chaos
In deep space a colossal ship was advancing through the galaxy, its size was comparable to that of a moon and this peculiar ship was commanded by a being of immense proportions which analyzed the precocious situation in which it was. This was not his universe, an unknown force pulled him here for what purpose? His intellect was vast, not more than a thousand worlds could compare in knowledge to a being like him, all his calculations, all his theories led to a single result, whoever brought him brought him with a single reason
That it served its purpose. The one he was so good at. unfortunately for remnant this was not good news.
- "Go herald, I am hungry" - his voice was spectral and devoid of emotions, but not for that less imposing
- "This is how it will be done, my master"-
Wrapped in a silver wake, a being of humanoid appearance travels the cosmos in search of food for its master.
In Pietro's workshop, the RWBY AND JNOR teams collected everything that had been requested.
- "This is crap we should be outside with the rest stopping the broods" - Blake still complained with a new bandage courtesy of jaune
- "This is all we can do for now" - Weiss clarified, no one from both teams could blame Blake's attitude since the fall of his hometown, the faunus was distant because he did not know the whereabouts of his parents.
- "Unfortunately Miss Belladonna Miss Schnee is right"- Ozpin spoke after a long time - "following James's plan at the moment is our best short-term plan of action"
- "Hey oz, have you ever been in a situation as bad as it is?" - Asked yang
- "Certainly in my longevity I have not been unable to get away from chaotic situations like the current one and from experience I can affirm that we have been exceptional handling the current situation. To tell the truth, I think glynda herself would be proud to see the huntsmans and hunters they have become"
- "That doesn't cheer me up"
- "I know, but we must be strong in this hour of need"
- "Do not bother Professor Ozpin but I'm afraid your words are not comforting"- yang clarified
- Why does ironwood want these pieces to all this? - Nora asked
- He only told us that it was confidential- Jaune replied
-" Professor commented that this was the best short-term plan, what is the long-term plan? - ruby asked
- "A decision Miss Rose, one that I hope we will not need"
- "You speak of the true lamp" - it was Jaune who deduced Ozpin's thought
- ..."Yes"...
- "But what if he answers that they cannot be destroyed - Ren said the words that Ozpin tried to avoid- or at least not completely ... as with salem
- "I don't know, I don't know"- his tone of voice trailed off for a moment almost like a whisper - "partly that's why I haven't had the courage to ask the question, I'm afraid the result will end up being worse for our morale"
- "I'm sure we'll get through this" - Ruby still had faith in her friends, she was sure that something would occur to them
The eight hunters were shocked from their thoughts when they noticed a small group of flying broods heading towards them.
- "There they come" - yang pointed
- "Good because I needed to hit something" - Nora said with magnild fist
- "You took the words out of my mouth" - her hair flared as ember celica was recharged
- "Get ready this will not be easy"- said ruby unfolding a crescent rose
- "I did not expect it to be" - with myrtenaster in hand the weiss glyphs were present
- "Do not die" - declared Blake serious
- "That would not be something new" - said ozpin holding a long memory- "speak for you oz!" - Oscar declared, regaining control of his body
And the battle began.
High up in atlas
Clover and Qrown were attacked by a large group of Broods, both hunters defended themselves as they could, they could not waste time on the creatures, both joined forces to defeat them in the shortest possible time. Deep inside qrow a bad feeling was growing.
Far from them
Penny was directly confronting cinder, how much trouble had she caused? his defeat, the fall of beacon, the assassination of pyrrah, the near dissolution of team RWBY. All for that person, but, no more would cinder fall this day
- "Give up damn junk" - he said dodging the penny blades as his anger and flames grew
- "Never" - the clash of both did not go unnoticed by the broods
- "MONKEY FOOLS, WHILE YOU FIGHT SAVE US WORK, THAT'S WHY WE WILL PREVAIL"
- "You can shut up, your breath stinks"- winter kicked the brood, seriously wounding him
One of them approached to cold ripped off the cap of the capsule
- "No" - Winter did not take long to react and try to stop him, but one of the other broods' appendages grabbed her ankle and hitting her violently against a wall over and over again only to later throw her into the void.
- "not winter!" -
Penny rushed for her leaving Cinder the free way
- She is my prize not yours damn phenomenon - the summer maiden attacked the brood with her flames
- RARRG -
Penny took Winter by the arm and carried her up.
-"What are you doing? Leave me my life, it doesn't matter, you must save her"- I orderdemerit
- "I care" - he answered, shutting up Winter, regaining altitude and Penny's swords flew and attacked both the brood and cinder at that moment, Fria woke up
- "What is happening"- murmured the lady
- "!MEAL!"
- "SHE IS MINE MONSTER!" - Cinder charged the brood with an inordinate fury
- "So much noise"- the woman looked around to find a strange creature fighting a young man, a new type of Grimm? - "it's true I have a job to finish"
Icy wind began to form around her as her eyes lit up in a bluish color. The brood instinctively managed to dodge
Winter and penny gave him no respite and attacked the brood and cinder
The winter maiden created a layer of ice and walked forward as she took off from the ground beginning to float step by step to the edge of the precipice and then nothingness the currents of the wild wind whipped the walls of the building, she was Fria the maiden of the winter, but from moment to step of imposing power to collapse
- "Penny go get her! I'll take care of cinder" - Winter stayed in the air thanks to the fact that he managed to summon a manticore as a mount
Penny did not refute and flew towards her to avoid their collision, the brood had captured Cinder but she was driving them away with her flames. Winter smashed his manticore against both enemies and managed to punch Cinder so hard that it broke her aura.
- "Arh damn"
- "Cinder fall I swear to you by the name of all the schnee that today I will stop you"- with her saber in hand, winter was determined to arrest the corrupt maiden going up at full speed
- You swear in vain damn puppet - he declared with a crimson sword in his hand
from one moment to the other they both clashed their swords
On the floor
Penny had already rescued Fria from certain death in time, the lady was without physical damage, with great care she carried her in her arms and looked for a safe place to leave her, she should help winter against cinder, a crazy woman or not. it was very dangerous. The Winter Maiden breathed heavily as Penny laid her on a table chair on an abandoned terrace.
-"Madame is fine now, I'll take her to a safe place, you shouldn't worry, I'll protect her that's my job"- Penny was really doing everything she could to avoid injure to Fria
- "I-I have a job
- "Madame must resist the help will come"
- "T-tell me you're her"- Penny deduced what she meant, she had to bring Winter as soon as possible, the cold was getting worse, but the explosions above her were not a good sign - "W-what's your name"
- "M-My name is penny"
- "Penny ... it's a good name" - the maiden's time was running out - "g-give me your hand"
- "But madame if you do that"
- "I-I'll go, I know, I-I have a job to do nothing else matters"
The brood, cinder, winter hurt and far away. Penny had to make a decision and then, sighing, she took Fria's hand and a sensation of heat flooded her as her eyes began to glow in an emerald glow.
What was left of brood was now nothing more than coal Winter on the other hand was breathing agitated defeated on the ground full of wounds and bruises
- "You see I told you that you swore in vain in the end you were nothing more than ironwood's pet"
- "And you are better?" - He wiped the blood from his lip - "You're just a lackey of the many that Salem has, at least I fight for something bigger than myself"
- "Save the speech, when I'm done with you I'll go for the other scrap metal and in the end it will be just molten metal when I'm done with it" - Grimm's hand was engulfed in flames, but before acting a strong gust of wind extinguished it - "what the hell"
- "The "junk" has a name and is Penny" - the new winter maiden flew with powerful gusts of wind forming an icy storm her emerald eyes emitted a powerful shine
- "It is not possible" - Cinder's only eye did not dazzle what he was looking at
- "It's very possible"- Penny created a cyclone that sent cinder to fly violently against a building
- "Aggggghhh" - Penny observed that the woman did not get up and approached Winter
Close to everything on a neo ledge, he watched the result of the fight, he still needed Cinder for better or for worse, so he set off to save the black-haired woman.
- "winter are you okay?" - worried he approached her
- "What have you done"- she pushed Penny's arm away- "Fria she!
- "She left. Sorry"
- "No penny, now she is part of you" - I point out seriously
- "I"...
- "We must go with General Ironwood, there is no going back at this point"
- "But you are injured I must take you to a doctor"
- "No, my wounds are superficial they can wait arg" - trying to get up he put his hand to the side of his abdomen
- "Please let me at least take you to Jaune he can at least mitigate the pain" - Winter looked at her seriously for a few seconds it was useless being in that state- "there are still many brood in the area I do not think I can take you safely to the academy, at least not without your aura and I'm not going to leave you"
- "Okay, let it be quick we can't waste any more time"- Penny took Winter and they rose- "inform about your new ... status is a priority penny"
On the ground, the RWBY AND JNOR teams had successfully managed to kill the broods that attacked them, their corpses piled up generating a foul smell, it was really the first time that any hunter had dealt with something like this, the grimms left no traces when they died , the brood on the other hand, their blood was very smelly, on his first meeting with them, blake herself vomited from the smell.
- "It would be better to go, the smell of these things is already permeating here- Yang commented with a disgusted face
- "We are already against the clock, the best thing is that we leave this team as soon as possible to help the defense line- suggested Jaune
- "I agree with jaune- said weiss
- "Well move team, we must leave as soon as possible there are three motorcycles so two of us will be tight" - I report folding back to crescent rose ruby
- "Oww surely I will be one" - Oscar complained being the smallest surely it was evident that with him in the middle or behind they could reach three passengers
- "You and the little ruby"- yang joke
- "what! but I have also grown"
- "Sorry rubes I think you still need to drink more milk to grow" - after a long time seeing yang joke the atmosphere
- I'm not a little kid yang!"
- I'm sorry ruby but next to Oscar you are the smallest"- the blonde continued with her playful tone as she ruffled her leader's hair
- "Oww"- the young leader did not like to be treated like an infant
- "Go ahead, get on with me, ruby, you too, oscar, if I carry the two little ones, it will be as if it were only one" - I joke yang, relaxing the atmosphere more
Away from them in the atlas skies
Grimm's army led by Hazel, Tyriann and Mercury battled the Broods ships and their swarms.
The fight was even, but it leaned in favor of the invaders, to help the Grimm army, ships from the Atlas fleet arrived with their machines as support for the Grimm.
- "It was time for your reinforcements to arrive"- Tyriann complained
- "Shut up"- from a communicator watts speak- "silly do you think it's just pressing buttons and now, I had to gather a decent amount of soldiers for the support to be meaningful"
- "Their fights do not improve the situation, the armor of their ships is very difficult to penetrate at this rate we will have to retreat and regroup" - Hazel knew that there was no army in remnant stronger than Salem's, so seeing how little by little they were being overcome was not a good omen
- "Nonsense these invaders will be defeated for trying to supplant the role of our lady"
- "Well, they don't seem very willing to do that" - Watts said being realistic
- "curse I should have stayed on the ground"- whispered mercury
Before the three of them continued any plan of action, a loud sound and the glow that brought with it silenced any thoughts.
And all the sentient beings of remnant but especially those of atlas were witnesses of the silver wake that was on them the light dissipated below mantle
And there they could see a "man" with silver skin
The broods for the first time since they stepped on the planet stopped their eyes widened when they saw the figure, it couldn't be him, it couldn't, but then from his arm a glow of light emerges causing the blood of the brood to freeze
- IT'S THE HERALD!
- WE MUST ESCAPE!
- HOWL BEFORE IT'S LATE!
- THE DEBORATOR IS NEAR!
- THE QUEEN MUST BE PROTECTED!
All the hunters present were surprised and it was not for less the broods that have been giving so much trouble to everyone in remnant, both those in the skies and those who were on land and in the seas ... they were fleeing in terror.
They would not take long to know the reason for that
- "The great Galactiac has been called" - the silver being began to speak his voice was so loud that everyone could hear him from atlas to what was left of it - "he will arrive very soon. Your world will become elemental energy to serve as food for my teacher, I have observed your planet and as long as it has some life it will serve to give you energy, but do not be afraid because your knowledge and your culture will be preserved by my teacher. They must realize the honor they are about to receive in their current situation, despite the fact that the planet's resources are abundant, the plague that plagues their world has depleted the population and their progress has stalled, the current situation will only get worse and give them a couple years at most. Some of you will be privileged to serve my master's purposes rejoice and prepare for the end."-
Everyone in remmnnt was dismayed at the strange silver being that floated on what looked like strange skis. The words of the silver racer were transmitted telepathically to the entire planet. The reactions of each person varied, some did not take importance of the words, others believed that it was a kind of joke, but others understood the true gravity of those words, fear, uncertainty, disbelief, paranoia, all strong emotions of a people that did not understand what they faced, but it was the soldiers and the hunters who looked like the hitherto savage and unstoppable invaders how they fled like cowards. How terrifying was this silver racer?
But then the Grimm attacked the racer Before the flight of the brood the racer was now the new target
- "Pathetic mindless creatures do not know the power I possess" - a single movement is enough for a third of the Grimm army to be destroyed
In cloak
The hunters did not believe what they were looking at
- "He ... evaporated the Grimms so easily"- Jaune was perplexed
- "Not even Ruby silver eyes had destroyed so many in one hit"- Ren was stunned
- "who or what is Him" - weiss was starting to shake
- "Trouble" Blake declared.
- "Hey, this is already worrying me2- Nora held magnhild tightly
- "I had not felt such a power since"- ozpin could not find the words to express himself- ... "since - the brothers"
- "That's possible?" - ruby ask
- "Friends"- Penny's voice called them even with Winter in his arms, he landed
- "winter!" - Weiss ran to his worried sister- "what happened to you?"
- "We had"- look at penny- "complications"
- "I can see that" - yang commented
- "Jaune can you help Winter" - begged penny
- "I will do what I can" –said the blond as he put his hand on the biggest wound in winter activating his semblance, little by little winter felt renewed its aura
- "Let's meet with General Ironwood he will know what to do"- speak Penny
- "Do not be offended, but I doubt it" - said yang
- "That guy said we'll be food, he can't be serious, right?" - Jaune's doubts were valid in the face of the bizarre situation
A blaze of silver shone and half of Grimm's army including the colossal one had now been wiped out. Hazel and hers had managed to escape in time, but not without damage they fell back towards Atlas along with a small group of grimms. Salem could not dazzle how a being with such powers could exist. He clenched his fists and took refuge, he must do something, but that being was evident that he had powers similar to the hideous silver eyes.
- "Let's meet with General Ironwood he will know what to do"- I speak Penny
- "Do not be offended, but I doubt it" - said yang
- "That guy said we'll be food, he can't be serious, right?" - Jaune's doubts were valid in the face of the bizarre situation

He clenched his fists and took refuge, he must do something, but that being was evident that he had powers similar to the hideous silver eyes.
The racer looked away. Something caught his attention and he approached the hunters to their amazement in a blink of an eye he was on them. What could a being that exterminates a Grimm army of them want?
- "You two" - in a second it moved at such speed that nobody was able to react - "you have two abnormalities" - the silver racer held Ruby and Oscar by the neck in each hand
- "Gkk"
- "Tkk"
- "Ruby!"
- "Oscar!"
- "Leave them damned" - yang was the first to attack, but her attack did not produce the slightest effect
- "Your eyes have a very rare genetic abnormality among the beings of this planet, apart from you I can only detect the decaying remains in another being, so that makes you a unique individual in this world on the other hand you boy, in your body coexist two souls on the verge of a synergy such a case has only been seen by the demons of speed" - the racer released both and dropped them - "my master will be pleased with this"
Both took a breath of air after being almost suffocated while being assisted by their companions
- "Wh-who are you?" - Oscar spoke
- "I am silver racer the herald of my master. Galactiac the World Eater. He will preserve his civilization before being consumed"
- "Preserve?" - Weiss asked
- "It will miniaturize some of its cities to preserve your culture then it will consume the energy of this world for its food. The destruction of the planet is inevitable after that with your conserved knowledge you will study them later in your ship as other worlds before you"
- "You can't do that" - Jaune declared- this is our home
- "Galactiac will is absolute. This process has been used in more than a thousand worlds. This world will be no different"
- "Look silver cretin I don't know what you are, but" - yang was beginning to lose patience
- "But nothing. Your people could hardly sustain an encounter with those vermin. The power that I possess is far above your powers, your understanding. Resistance is useless"
- "We won't know that" - ruby got up holding crescent rose - "until we try"
- "Admirable. I feel sorry for your people, but the will of my master is absolute, however, in the face of such a show of courage I will allow you to attack me, if you are able to bring me down then I will advocate for your planet."
- "In other words, if we knock you down, we'll save ourselves from that Galactiac"- Winter was determined
- "I can't guarantee anything. I even do this deal just out of courtesy. You will not be able to do it, but you are free to try."
- "What a way to destroy our hopes"- said nora sarcastically
- "Even if it is remote, we will cling to that possibility" - declared Ruby
All the hunters knew this being was not a game, his power was palpable, he was not lying, he was not deceiving them or he was showing off, winter and ozpin knew that this subject was what he claimed to be, that the danger was authentic, but yes there was only a remote chance of winning they would take.
- "HAAAH" - Again yang was the first to launch into combat connecting a right hook in the face of the racer, the impact would surely have destroyed a Grimm but it was not the case of the racer. He just extended his hand and hit Yang with his index finger, destroying much of his prosthetic arm in the process.
- "Aghhhh"- the blonde screamed in pain as she fell against the concrete
- "YANG!" - Blake and Ruby yelled for the blonde's well-being.
- "ATTACK HIM WITH EVERYTHING!" - I declare Winter
Nora, Weiss, Winter, Ren and Penny with their new powers released their best ammunition. But the silver racer was intact
Oscar and Ruby opened their eyes
- "Penny, maybe you" -
- "Explanations later" - the powers of the maiden attracted currents of icy air to the surprise of those present less winter
- "Interesting. Despite being an artificial organism, you are capable of generating a biofield comparable to that of an organic being. What's more, I can detect in you forming what can only be called a soul. My master will be happy to study you."
- "You will never touch her" - a manticora from Winter attacked tried to knock him down, but this was useless
It was then that from the heavens the surviving Grimms by salem's orders focused only on the Racer
- "Again these little abominations"
- "The Grimm, are helping us?" - Jaune was amazed
- "If what silver racer declares is true I doubt that even Salem can survive if there is no planet to inhabit "- affirmed Winter
- "Huntsmens and Grimm working together. This day is getting crazier and crazier" - nora's words were true, but then she felt a hand was a very angry yang
- "Nora listen to me well I want you to hit me with everything you have"
- "Yang what are you talking about, you are hurt"- Blake could not contain his concern
- "That won't matter if we don't take down that damn Blake"
- "Blake I think, I think yang is right"- speak Oscar
The faunus looked at her partner. It was only recently that they were dating, but the feeling of love for her was genuine, he did not want to lose her, but he nodded
- "Be careful" - he said caressing her cheek
- "I will - he said returning the caress to his partner
Winter Jaune and Ren were still attacking with everything they had, emptying all the dust they had
Ruby could only try to buy some time and try to help the rest with what she could, but her attempts were in vain her best ammunition bounced off the silver skin
- "My master is coming. Your time is running out"
- "Shut up now" - declare winter
- "You fear the truth"
A flame attacked the racer. The cause was cinder herself recovered from her fight against penny
- "Curious. As in that gynoid, I detect a different energy pattern in you than the rest. I remember, I have already come across this energy, the fragments of creation is all about magic isn't it?"
- "I will show you the true power a maiden"
- "Interesting. You are a strange hybridization between those strange abominations. It seems that you have developed dependence on this process of parasitism"
- "How dare you, die!"- the most powerful flare that Cinder ever unleashed engulfed the racer
- "Brave attempt, but useless"- with his hands the racer cleared the fire
- "Impossible"
- "The fires of the hearts of a million stars have been pierced by my presence, do you really expect a simple flame to affect me?"
The racer just hit cinder sending her flying like a rag doll. even a maiden's powers were useless against the silver racer. Neo if he could speak would surely already be declaring his surrender.
Yang looked at his companions seriously.
- "We must try"- his words had a mixture of confidence and fear, everyone knew that their options were running out- "and by the way make sure to hit my hair"- that surprised everyone, nobody declined anything, yang spoke very seriously
Weiss and winter loaded Nora with what had Electric Powder the redhead attached like never before to Magnhild. Penny rose a few meters and weiss invoked his gigantic weapon, oscar held tightly long memory
- "Do it "-
They all lunged at yang with a powerful impact each. Yang's aura was nowhere to be broken, but maybe it was her will to win or her desire to live that kept her on her feet, now she was super charged and sooo angry she could see how several strands of her hair fell to the ground
- "Now if you see" - yang ran full of energy like never before in his life with his only arm he formed a fist with such force that the veins in his arm se marked like never before, memories of his life until now came to his mind, memories of ruby, of his mother summer, of his father, of qrow, even of raven, the bad and good moments, the friendships he has made as weiss or jaune and his team, then ... there was Blake a memory of a leak ... kiss, everyone trusted her, it is not she would fail- "HAAAAAAAA"-
Silver racer knew the look of the young woman in front of him once he was like her a man named Willie Lincoln who made a deal with death. A deal to protect his own, part of him wanted to rebel against his master. But another part of him cries out for death. The curse of duality, the racer allowed yang to land his blow to his face.
Yang's impact hit the racer square on the face. A loud explosion occurred to the point of breaking some glass in the nearby buildings, yang landed on the ground gasping, his fist hurt like hell, maybe he even broke his knuckles in that blow. For a second the girl formed a smile
But that only lasted for a second. The racer admitted that last blow, felt it, by that point he had forgotten what the tickling felt like.
Yang couldn't believe he put all his power into that blow, it was the biggest blow he's ever dealt in his life ... and it only had so little effect.
The racer approached yang only to slap her, the rose for him was slow even gently, but for yang it was one of the strongest blows he had ever felt his aura broke without a chance he could even feel some of his teeth they creaked. She was thrown until she crashed into an abandoned vehicle, denting the entire chassis. Nobody could believe it, ruby ran towards her sister with great concern along with blake and weiss, but the racer only snapped his fingers and a gust of winds pushed them at three.
As if it were broken glass, everyone's hopes were shattered. Penny pushed herself towards him, but the racer grabbed her wrist and smashed her squarely on the pavement, Penny really felt real pain.
Nora and Ruby ran holding their weapons, but in a quick movement of the racer both weapons were destroyed to the shock of their owners before either of them processed what was happening in a snap of their fingers. Nora and Ruby found their auras crashed on a wall. they blinked before finally breaking apart.
Barely conscious, ruby still held the remains of crescent rose all over the blade of the mighty scythe now they were nothing more than broken splinters on the cold ground. Nora was no better than ruby but little tears formed in her eyes.
- "Nora!" - a furious ren attacked the racer without any degree of restraint accompanied by a more furious Blake
- "I'LL KILL YOU DAMN!" - Blake jumped over the racer with the blade Gambol Shroud in any circumstance the blade would have pierced the flesh but this was not the case the flesh was that of a new god, a god of death.
Blake opened his eyes when his precious weapon was cut in two, the racer took her by the shoulder and with a slight movement he smashed her against a wall
- "Jaune, what do we do?" - Ren asked
- "II, I don't know" - jaune was panicking at the enormous power of the racer- "I don't know"
- "This is no time to hesitate, man, you have to shoot him down"- said weiss with his acceleration glyphs activated
Oscar, weiss and Ren tried to get their attention, but the racer only raised his arm and in a clean movement from one second to the other they find themselves on the ground with their weapons destroyed by the small burst of light.
Weiss with his tattered glove and part of his torn clothes tried to reach for his trusty weapon only to see how only the handle remained.
- "Your time is up"- sentence
In the skies a humanoid figure could be distinguished. His size was immense, more than 100 meters probably, behind him a strange figure, a ship?
- "Galactiac has arrived."
In the ironwood office he watched what was happening. A greater fear that Salem once generated seized him. What was above them was a God.
- "You can guarantee that your plan will work"
- "I can't guarantee anything James ironwood, but this is the only scenario in which your people or at least a part of them will survive, but I warn you, the forces that I disturb do not guarantee your safety"
- "Then do it. Sacrificing my life, my reputation, my alliances and all that I am does not matter, as long as my people live it is not relevant that I get out alive, remmant must live"
- "So be it james ironwood"- the figure retires
Perhaps this was the destiny that the brothers saw at the end of the road for him. How many lives did he have? How many years do I wait for this uncoupling? How much did he have to sacrifice to make it all in vain?
It was all in vain
Ozpin couldn't stop crying for Oscar, should he have used long memory when he could? No, it would have been useless the powers of the racer surpassed everything he could do, what he could achieve. And then with the young arc at his side they observed the face of his executioner, a full-fledged titan and a face that could only remind him of death itself.
- "Silver racer you have served your master well" - his voice was calm, but without a trace of emotions like a machine- "I have selected five cities for their preservation, get ready"
- "As you order my master"
-"W-what shall we do?" Jaune asked as he was enveloped in Galactiac's giant shadow almost as if the shadow itself swallowed up the young hunter's hope.
Oscar / ozpin put a hand on the man. Words were unnecessary as the racer rose forming a machine, Oscar and Jaune went for their friends and helped them. Bringing them together at one point was difficult. The little Grimm that was left attacked us it seemed that Salem was confused about what to do some of the Grimms approached Cinder, while the huge Galactiac machine descended on the ground
Five energy beams were fired, the hunters were able to watch the atlas disappear in a second. Those hunters who were in mantle watched him in horror and dropped their weapons in flight.TOtlas was gone and MAntle was next.
Jaune hugged his classmates, he was worried about his family, but he couldn't do anything anymore, Ren and Nora hugged him back, Blake pulled Yang to his lap, Weiss imitated her with Winter, Penny crawled on the ground leaving a trail of green liquid, but was held by oscar and a battered ruby, Neo just knelt with a lost look at the inevitable doom.
And so
- "!ENOUGH!"- a voice flooded the sky- "!ENOUGH TO DEVOURING!"
- "Who dares to speak to Galactiac like this"- the enormous being with the face of a skull spoke
- "I dare"- another humanoid being appeared what stood out the most was his unusual large head
- "Little vigilante you don't have the power to challenge me"
- "Maybe not, but at least I'll make sure to give these people a chance, go back to your world" - the watchman's eyes lit up and a portal appeared behind the devourer
- "!NO! Galactiac will not be denied"- galactiac prevailed from the dragging effect generated by the portal at the rate that his ship's systems failed the process to shrink mantle was slower the other 4 rays had completed their mission successfully and now 4 of the rays were bottled greatest cities on the planet waiting for the last one - "this world will be mine whether you like it or not" - Galactiac placed his hands on the planet's earth and pierced it with his energy
A great earthquake swept remnant and in a few seconds the weather went crazy, the energy of galacticus drilled until it reached the core, the planet now perishing in one way or another. The watchman sighed
- "Maybe you can't save the planet, but you won't have them"- two portals appeared one behind the ruby jaune teams and the other near the bottled cities
The incredulous boys felt the portal pulling them, Ruby could see how the mantle was shrunk and bottled before the portal closed
- "Don't be afraid"- ruby and everyone else heard an echo in their minds- you can still save what remains of remmant, this is only the beginning of a new chapter in your story -Ruby closed his eyes as he fell unconscious.
The five cities were seen by the silver racer, he could still give them to his master and he would have done so if he had not remembered that silver eyes of that young woman, without his master seeing him more busy consuming the energy of the planet before being Banished to his universe of origin, the silver racer took the cities and unified them. The now only bottle was thrown towards a portal. Protected by the almost indestructible dome, she left what was once her reality.
Remmant then could not more and exploded in a blaze of fire, the energy of the planet was consumed and finally galactiac momentarily quenched his hunger. Silver racer accompanied his master back to his true reality in the hope that his actions were correct.
-Earth 3616-
planet Earth.
The blue side of the moon
Near the city of the inhumans
Near the former residence of the vigilante uatu
A portal emerged out of nowhere and then several figures were shot crashing violently to the ground. All at first glance were young with multiple injuries and unconscious or at least the majority, the last of them the Winter Maiden barely understood what was happening.
Where were you?
What was happening?
But little by little he began to close his eyes. A malfunction? A power failure? The last thing he saw was a dog approaching before he couldn't take it anymore. His optics failed because it was impossible for there to be such a big dog, right?
For lowckjock, finding so many humans on the moon was an unexpected surprise, the dog could smell the blood of humans, he had to call his master, his king because black bolt was the only hope of these young people, but before that. A strange creature was looking at lockjaw
A Grimm.
To be continue.

Well, after a long time planning this story, I can finally publish it. This story takes inspiration fromHunters of justiceFrom author trestwho many things I owe to that story for the creation of this one as well as other fanfics ofsimilar theme.
This is one of my most ambitious projects for the realization of this story, based on a large amount of comics and RWBY material.
I'm really very excited to finally be able to post it and hope to entertain at least one person with it.
Some points to keep in mind
The incarnation of the marvel universe that I will take will be one based on comics, video games, movies and animated series, I do not plan that everything will revolve around the avengers so you will see both well-known faces and class b characters interact with the RWBY characters. Plant lots of seeds for things to come later
And if the character of the prologue is easy to identify so if I plan to adapt "that event" crossover to this fic.
I plan that the teams have solo adventures in the marvel universe so I gave myself the task of giving villains to the characters of both teams so far only Nora is missing to give her a supervillain but I'll see where to give her the rest. manage to match at least one to each.
By the way, the reason for using penny is that 95% of the stories end up dead without pain or glory and heck some are sadists in how they kill her I have read deaths of penny exploding, beheaded, corrupted by a virus, crashed, burned etc. poor girl has already suffered a lot so in this story I will try to give a happy or at least not so tragic ending to penny.
Some events of the comics happened, but not exactly between them such as civil war, avengers dissembled, secret invasión, contest of champions, secret wars 1 and 2, infinity war, infinity gauntlet, secret wars 2015, war of kings , the korvak saga, galactic storm operation, Plantet and wwHULK, HoM, the initiative, dark reign, heroic age, original sin, AoULTRON, AXIS. A VS X.
As Franklin richards notes in this universe if he is a mutant.
As a small curiosity my initial proposal was very similar to Marvel zombies where there would be many deaths among them clover, pietro and mercury in this story it would actually end with the characters that were saved in a swamp being helped by Deathlock as in marvel zombies 3 and they would be more related to SWORD in the end I discarded it because I thought it was too dark.
Any criticism is welcome.
postscript I apologize for any translation errors
