-The Epitaph of Twilight the Fifth Phase of Morgana and the Sixth Phase of Morgana

(Start The Day Aura and Morgana met the Brother Gods)

A battle of divine proportions was being waged as the God of Light and the God of Darkness the creators and destroyers of this world were in the midst of battle against Aura and Morgana. While yes, they had once fought against each other never had they been forced to fight against beings who were experienced in the art of combat. So it was that The Brother of Light was faced with Aura's Azure Knights while The Brother of Darkness was faced with the Eight Epitaphs of Morgana.

In the sky Skeith the Terror of Death and the God of Darkness flew around each other clashing every so often before parting. When this happened The God of Darkness was then attacked by Innis and Magus which forced the dark God to get away. He was outnumbered and Morgana's Epitaphs were taking full advantage of it.

Aura stood there as Azure Kite, Azure Balmung, and Azure Orca fought the God of Light. "I had hoped to end this debacle peacefully." The God of Light said as he looked upon Aura.

"You abandoned this world, showing no regard for your creations and thus left it to rot when it did not meet your expectations." Aura said her tone showing she was scolding him.

"Salem would not understand the need to maintain balance are you saying she was justified?" The God of Light asked but Aura turned her head.

"No, what she did was wrong, but she was still but a woman in the thralls of grief." Aura said while she looked to the God of Light with her Azure Knights protecting her.

"But you are a false God one forged by the hands of humans." The God of Light said but Aura then smiled to this.

"In a way my father made it so and thus I was born as the ultimate AI." Aura said with a smile on her face. "And that is the beauty humans have they are able to become the Gods of their own creation." Aura said showing she stood with the humans and walked amongst them.

"DIE!" The God of Darkness roared and fired his attach only to be stopped by Fidchell who then proceeded to give an opening to Corbenik who bashed the God of Darkness to the ground. The Western Dragon slid across the ground before slamming into what looked to be a mountain and thus felt injured from the blow. Getting back up he snarled as Morgana's Epitaphs surrounded him. The God of Light abandoned his fight with Aura and her Azure Knights and blasted the Epitaphs back, but it would not keep them down.

Soon enough the two Gods were cornered as the Azure Knights, Aura, the Eight Epitaphs, and Morgana surrounded them. "This is your last chance leave or else." The God of Light warned as he wanted to do this peacefully, but Morganna and his brother were too alike for a peaceful resolution.

"No... I don't think we will." Aura said and thus the brothers knew they could no longer offered to hold back.

"Very well... I had hoped to spare this world, but you left me no choice." The God of Light said and thus he and his brother began to meld powers. Seeing the dangers, the Azure Knights then charged up their own attacks while the Epitaphs entered something similar to their Data Drain form. 11 Data Drains vs the Brother Gods own coup de grace as Aura and Morgana provided an added power to their champions. Both charged up their attacks and they eventually fired it off. The ground around them broke apart as the two beams of power blasted into each other. The area began to turn into a crater but when it seemed that they would destroy each other the shots bounced upward and into the heavens destroying nothing and parting the clouds.

The blast left the Twin Gods weakened and shocked over what had happened. Aura and Morganna approached the pair as Morgana looked ready to end this once and for all. But then Aura and her Azure Knights stepped in and stopped her. "Now they've had enough." Aura said seeing the beating the god received was enough punishment.

"You spare us?" The God of Darkness growled as he glared at Aura.

"Yes, I hope you may take this time to learn how to be a human and the true that Gods are Servants to humans not their rulers." Aura said as she viewed godhood as a service and a responsibility.

"I see but..." The God of Light began until a burst of power blasted across the sky. All eyes widened in shock as the four divine beings felt a malevolent power descend upon the world. "What... what is this?" The God of Light asked as he had never felt a power like this before.

"It cannot be... did our battle draw it here?" Aura asked as she looked to the sky as she knew this dark force. What they saw as a force of destruction descending down upon them drawn here by the clash of Gods.

"W-what is this?" the God of Darkness asked feeling the dread feeling fear for the first time in his eternal life.

"Cubia." Aura said as the massive entity, Cubia, came down upon this broken world. "The Anti-Existence Cubia." Aura repeated and thus Cubia began to open its massive bone maw and released a roar of fury and power upon them.

(Scene Break Modern Day Remnant Atlas)

A young man in a coat was seen with a cat casually on his shoulder who was purring and rubbing her head to the young man's cheek. The young man in question had a rose in his left hand that he had been admiring but stopped to rub the cats head with his right hand. Long ago he was known as Kaoru Ichinose a 20-year-old reclusive shut in who played The World 24/7 and only logged off to sleep. He was the Epitaph User of the Avatar Macha the Temptress. But Eight years prior he was known as Elk though he shall admit his memories of that time were fuzzy at best.

He lived a good life and thanks to Haseo and all his fellow Epitaph Users Endrance was able to leave the shut-in life. When he died, he was at peace, but he had been reborn as Endrance once more in this world of Remnants. Still, SHE was with him again and Endrance knew there was a reason for it. In The World Endrance had once been the Emperor of the Demon Palace until he lost to Haseo in the title match his Macha vs Haseo's Skeith. After that loss Endrance had lost his way but Haseo helped him find it again and thus he had sworn his sword to him.

Here though he had been reborn as Endrance Schnee Heir to the Schnee Dust Company and for many the target of desire for many young women in his age group. Still despite everything his, 'father,' had been trying to mold Endrance into his carbon copy trying to use him but Endrance had no intentions for that. So, any money his father let him use Endrance had transferred it to a personal account for later use. Endrance had every intention of enrolling into Beacon because he knew his twin sister Weiss Schnee was planning to leave as well. He had built up a sizable amount of money and had been saving it for a rainy day. While his father thinks Endrance was using his money the fact was Endrance was saving it for when Jacque Schnee eventually crashed and burned.

Besides as long as he had Mia, the cat on his shoulder, Endrance was content with life. Though Endrance was supposed to be taking part in a performance but that would not happen anytime soon. Endrance had put together a growing book of evidence to use against Jacque for his questionable business practices and his unsavory working conditions in the mines. His elder sister Winter was also a great help in that regard as Endrance had suggested repurposing the older Atlesian Knight Models to mine for Dust in the more dangerous part of the Dust Mines.

This would help the Company in the long run and when bringing it up to the other board members and how it would save them a great deal of money in the long run they agreed. Jacque had no idea this was going on and thanks to this Endrance was slowly taking the SDC from under his father's nose. His missed performance was meant to put Jacque under pressure by setting up recording devices around the room. With all that evidence child abuse charges would be filed against his father. More so adding to the other crimes Endrance had set everything up like the businessman his, 'father,' tried to groom him to be. But he needed the right time to strike and at the moment that time was not now.

At the moment Endrance was at one of the Schnee Facilities being someone who supported the Faunus and their rights Endrance had tried to ebb the damages of the White Fang so that the innocent Faunus, do not get caught up in the crossfire. Extremists give peace groups a bad rep and as the saying goes, it takes one bad apple to ruin the batch. So, it came as no surprise to him when the alarms started blaring in his ears. What followed was explosions near his position opting him to come to the field himself. He may not be a Huntsman, but he was still a fighter at the end. Besides, 'SHE,' needed to see if Endrance still had it in him to fight.

(Later)

Adam Taura a bull Faunus in black with a Katana, Sieanna Khan a tiger Faunus with a Cerberus Whip, and Ilia Amitola with a bladed whip made their way through the halls of the facility. Both Adam and Ilia were wearing Grimm Masks while they fought through the guards coming their way. Adam and Ilia took care of them quickly so they may get to their objective on time. The Androids were no challenge to them as they made their way through but of course no plan goes without a hitch.

The elevators opened and from it a security team came in. Firing upon the Faunus Terrorists the three and their grunts moved to cover quickly. Once that was done, they proceeded to deal with the security team opting to make quick work of them as they fought. But as they did so Sienna disarmed one and took care of his allies with it. Adam had one pinned down and smirked down ready to kill the human. It all seemed going in favor of the White Fang when all of a sudden, a Glyph appeared and forced Adam off the security guard. What followed next was a flurry of rose petals and from the door footsteps came in. All the White Fang saw was a Schnee entering the battle the fluid way he moved such grace such elegance.

Endrance Schnee had joined the fight as he had been in the facility with his sister to avoid his father. "A strike for equality a strike for superiority, an act of aggression for a future of peace." Endrance recited as he had his sword drawn. "Sienna Khan the aggressive leader who forced Ghira Belladonna to step down for seeking a pacifistic path." Endrance said knowing of Sienna well. "And Adam Tauras the scarred victim who now makes victims of others." Endrance said as he looked to the pair before closing the door behind him.

"You're making a big mistake standing in our way Schnee." Adam said glaring at the new arrival.

"Perhaps, and while I hold no love for my father, I do care for how your actions will affect the Innocent Faunus unaffiliated with your cult." Endrance said as he cared for the Faunus.

"If you care for them, you'd get out of our way." Sienna said as it was no secret that Endrance was the odd one out of his family the only Schnee who seemed to care for the Faunus without any strings attached. He truly was the oddest Schnee of them all because many Faunus just sensed that about him.

"And it's because I care for them that I shall not move." Endrance said taking a battle stance prepared for battle.

"I gave you a chance." Sienna said and thus she charged into battle to take Endrance out with Adam and Ilia backing her up. Endrance managed to weave through his foes with ease with a grave nary few had seen. Endrance of course was avoiding so to see through their attacks and needless to say that he was able to figure them out bit by bit. For him this was just like the title match he took part in before Haseo overthrew his position as Emperor.

While the Schnee was avoiding his Adam got angry and slashed down at Endrance with his sword. But Endrance blocked the attack and gave Adam a bored look. "How uninteresting." Endrance said as he then jumped back and sent Glyphs at the White Fang. Of course, acting fast, they moved out of the way only to land on a Glyph Endrance had placed there that quickly turned black. Endrance then sped through the three hitting them and biting away at their aura. Once his attack was done, he freed them with the last strike sending them flying back. Endrance found this style was most useful to him with his choice of weaponry.

The cat on his shoulder then meowed opting for Endrance to pet the feline with a smile. Ilia and Sienna came for the attack opting for Endrance to move once more avoiding the attack coming for him. Weaving between them Endrance then avoided a surprise attack from Adam who grew angrier by the second. Dodging and avoiding his attacks Endrance weaved through Adam attacks with ease before he fired off a Glyph attack. Adam blocked it with his sword and thus both his crimson red blade and the red on his person glowed for a moment. Endrance noticed this and knew what to do now.

Endrance back off and then summoned another Glyph knowing how Adam's Semblance worked but not what it did when fully charged. Thus, the White Fang Members soon found themselves surrounded by Glyphs in which Endrance was ready to act. Soon enough Endrance charged in and began to zoom past each Faunus slicing through them before they could block tearing their Aura's to shreds. Adam was surprised at the amount of speed Endrance had and in turn was even more shocked when Endrance was right in front of him. He sliced upward and in turn cleaved Adam's mask in two forcing him to scream in rage and fury. The three White Fang Members rolled across the ground and were beaten as Endrance stood over them.

"You two." Endrance said looking to the Fang grunts. "Take these three and go." Endrance said as they were surprised by this. "It won't be long until security teams arrive, I'd suggest you hurry and do avoid any more harm." Endrance said and thus Seinna growled but allowed it for now. Adam covered his face while glaring at Endrance with pure rage.

"Very well." Sienna said and thus she took her leave having the grunts aid in their escape. Endrance turned around and walked away all the while petting his cat that had stayed with him for the entire battle. "Time to go, Mia." Endrance said and thus he continued on his path.

(Scene Break Schnee Manor that evening)

"You arrogant child!" Jacque screamed as Endrance stood in his father's study while his father was angry. News had spread that Endrance Schnee was a no show for the charity dinner he was to be at. What made it worse was Endrance had convinced Weiss not to show up and thus he as the eldest son was taking the full blunt of it. "Do you have any idea how this made me look!?" He demanded showing the image to Endrance.

"I have a relatively good idea and I shall confess... it puts a smile on my face." Endrance said as Jacque would have beat his son if he had the strength to do it. "You gave me the option to attend, and I turned it down I suspect you were hoping that the implications of my appearance being appreciated would be welcomed would cause me to show." Endrance said which Jacque got angry about.

"If you did not have shares in the company, I would have cut you off post haste." Jacque growled as he glared at his rebellious son. "Be that as it may this act of rebellion has gone on long enough you will follow my orders so long as you live in this, manor." Jacque said and thus Endrance smirked.

"Very well I'll have my room cleared within the day." Endrance said which shocked Jacque when he said that. "I'm sure Big sister Winter will be willing to house me until I leave for Beacon." Endrance said while walking away from his father. All Jacque could do was slam his fist onto the table snarling just after Endrance had left the room.

(In the halls)

Endrance was walking down the halls of Schnee manor to retrieve his suitcase. Klien had prepared it at Endrance request in anticipation of this event. Since Endrance and Weiss were both accepted into Beacon Jacque had been working double time to keep his two children under his thumb. But alas it was nary any success for him when it came to Endrance. Mia meanwhile mewed causing Endrance to smile to the feline.

"Yes Mia... it seems we're on the way now." Endrance said while walking and as he did the light formed a shadow. That shadow was in fact the form of his Epitaph Macha the Temptress.

(Scene Break Elsewhere in Atlas)

A young orange haired girl named Penny was walking through the lab after her latest round of tests with her father and his partner. As Penny made her way through the facility. She eventually reached her destination and found a tall dark-skinned man with red tinted glasses and short blond hair. It was clear that he hailed from out in Vacuo and by the looks of his outfit a mixture of a combat uniform and lab wear he worked her and also worked as a Huntsman.

"Mr. Yata." The girl greeted and thus Yata chuckled a bit when he heard the girl.

"Penny, are you finished with your diagnostics?" Yata asked as he looked to Penny.

"Yeap." Penny said smiling to Yata. When Yata had been reborn in this world and when he had been reborn int his world he was the bottom rung of society in Vacuo. Thankfully, he still had his skills of a Hacker and thus managed to pull himself out of it. With those skills and his old job in his old life he managed to become someone of note. It gave him the chance to meet Pietro Polendina and work with him on Project Penny. "Are you still looking for your friends Mr. Yata?" Penny asked as she had been allowed to hear much of Yata's tales.

"Yes, I suppose I still am." Yata said and then smiled to the android girl. "And thankfully I believe I've narrowed them down." Yata said and thus he pulled up several files of hacked data to show that some of his old allies were active. 'So, the old members of G.U. have arrived here as well.' Yata thought to himself as a smile appeared on his face.
