~Remnant-II~
I was watching the others meeting their counterpart. Ruby and Rose were using their semblance to see who would be better. Although Rose was two years older, thanks to [Blessing of Eldoria] and the fact that Ruby has been fighting beings far stronger than Grimm has given her an edge.
Not too far away was Yang and Xiao Long. The two were having arm wrestling. I could tell Xiao Long was planning something, but Yang could easily beat her before initiating whatever she was planning. Huh? I have an increased perception, but only now did I notice Xiao Long has a prosthetic arm. I should ask her if she wants to have her original arm. Damn! I can't believe I was stupid for not noticing that when I helped Fria.
Sighing, I saw Weiss and Schnee talking. I heard some of the things they were talking about. "I never thought there would be a version of me dating Jaune. And this is during Beacon Academy."
I saw Weiss giggling. "Believe me, I did not appreciate Jaune initially since he had a terrible first impression. But, although he was excessively annoying with his courting, I liked that he would always be there when Ruby wanted to vent after we argued. He would even give her some good advice."
Schnee sighed. "Maybe first impressions aren't everything."
Weiss smiled. "No, they are not. Weirdly enough, I also had a bad impression of Ruby, but I got over it in a few days. To Jaune, however, I couldn't get the first impression out of my mind, at least before he beat up Neptune. Even though I was harsh and cruel to him, he still beat up Neptune for me. This, after he gave up courting me."
Shaking my head, my sight was now on Blake and Belladonna. The duo were…reading? Really! They are reading that now! In the open! Well, they're pretty bold. I heard them talking, which made me blush. "Oh! I love that position. Look! When the time comes, I will ensure I do it with Jaune this way! It's so racey and spicy! And to make it more exciting, I plan to have some whip action."
I saw one of them gasp at such a great idea. "That's quite exciting! Hmm…Hey, what if we add our Shadow Clone? Wouldn't that add a bit of flare? Like he would be doing it with a twin!"
The other nodded. "Great! I'll do that! I can't believe I never thought of using my semblance that way. It's such a great idea."
I shook my head. Looking at Pyrrha and Nikos, it was pretty weird since…well, one of them died, and the other's destiny was to die. Not anymore, it's not! I know the moment I got the Dreamscape, my destiny and those around me changed, but with such knowledge, I will strive even more to ensure I never reach such a conclusion.
The weirdest of interactions must be between Lei and Ren. Lei might be shy at times, but she was quite bold and daring at times. It made her cute! Especially that finger tapping she does with her index finger. However, Ren is relatively subdued. He was suppressing his emotions more than necessary. This isn't a good idea. I hope Lei can help him be more open about his feelings, especially when the only people you can trust are those you are closest with.
As for Nora? She was bouncing around with Valkyrie before hiding somewhere. I think they are plotting something. This is giving me the chills just thinking about it. Hmm…Nora was already planning something with Amber and, now, with Valkyrie. I hope nothing terrible happens when her plot comes into play, whatever it may be.
Shrugging my shoulder, I looked at Qrow and Amber. The man was sobbing and apologizing. It seems like Qrow was meant to protect her during her travels, but because of some issue, he failed, and half the Maiden's power was stolen, putting Amber in a coma.
I sneered as I looked into a corner where Cinder was being kept a prisoner. This bitch is quite resilient. Something in my mind is telling me I should kill her, but a part of me is saying death is a release for her. Right now, she was looking at me with a look that said she would kill me when she got out. One problem with that. The corner she was in was riddled with barrier magic to prevent people from approaching and ensure she had no way out. The only possible way is if the magic powering the barrier is depleted or destroyed.
I've been thinking of helping the others with their training. Sure, while the girls and I are here, we can help them eliminate their current enemy. But what happens when we leave? Will they be able to weather the storm to come? The answer that comes to mind is a resounding…No.
Now, I'm not being harsh. This is the truth I believe in. Why? Because life would never give us a moment to breathe, especially in a world like Remnant. So, I've decided to bring the girls and their counterparts to the Dreamscape. This is more so for Arc. He is currently the weakest of them. Also, I know this might have been my future without my chance of receiving the Dreamscape. Just like I got such an amazing chance, I'd like to extend it to my counterpart.
~After the good encounter~
We are now all sitting in a nice, cozy room. I'm unsure how I should ask Xiao Long about her arm. I also looked at Maria Calaver, aka The Grimm Reaper! I can't believe she is real! I heard stories about her growing! Just as much as my family legacy!
I looked at three people in particular. Yang, Penny, and Maria. And maybe Pietro, but I know I can do nothing to help him since he has an Aura issue resulting from creating Penny. This time, I looked at Xiao Long. "Ahem…Uhm…Right. Look, I did not realize you had a prosthetic. If I did, I would have offered to have it regenerated. So…do you want to regenerate it?"
Not a picosecond later. "Yes! Please! I didn't know how to ask for that herb since it should be scarce."
I laughed at this. It was a fair assumption. I took out an entire box of [Complete Recovery Herb]. "Here, take them. I have more of them anyway. An entire farm, to be exact."
Maria looked at me. "Young man, would that be useful for my eyes?"
I looked back at her and replied. "Yes, it is. And here, this is the [Eternal Avocado], the same one I gave Fria. It should return your youth but not increase your life span."
Maria nodded at me. "I remember. This will give me the chance I missed a long time ago."
I remember the story of The Grimm Reaper. They said she suddenly disappeared. I guess it had something to do with her eyes. Losing it might have been a massive blow for her.
I saw Xiao Long take out her prosthetic and eat the herb. Her arm started regenerating. Her arm was back in no time, as if nothing bad had ever happened.
As for Maria, Pietro had to help her remove it as it was more complex than the arms. But once that was done, she first ate the herb since she did not know if the avocado would affect its power. Better be safe than sorry, she said.
Hah! This is mind-boggling! She was short earlier, but now she was taller! How is that even possible? And this is coming from me, who is essentially the impossible.
Setting that aside. I spoke to the entire group this time. "Now, I know you are all eager to go out there and end your enemies once and for all, but I want to help you prepare for future chaos."
Yang raised an eyebrow. "Whoa! Are you thinking of doing what I think you are doing?"
I nodded my head at her. I then addressed my friend's counterpart. "I'll bring you all to my Dreamscape. It will be up to all of you to get stronger there."
Ruby was bouncing around. "You guys are in for a treat! Don't miss this chance to get as strong as possible! You could even evolve like us if you all get strong enough!"
Schnee looked at Ruby. "Evolve? What do you mean?"
Ruby happily explained. "It's exactly as it sounds. You will become more than what you are now. Like…hmmm…Have you heard of the theory about how people evolved from monkeys?"
Schnee nodded at her, and she continued. "Right! It's like that! Monkey, then human. Now it would be Human, then Human+!"
Schnee was shocked. "Surely, you jest?"
Ruby smiled. "Nope! This is all real! The others and I are now a Transcendant Species of Humans. Pretty awesome, too, but sadly, even after evolving, you still won't be able to use magic."
Yang looked at me. "But Jaune, wouldn't they have to sleep in the same bed as you?"
I shook my head. "I learned that after the upgrade, we can now enter by meditating instead. However, we can still only enter once a day. That hasn't changed."
Now, before we begin, I needed one more thing to do. I looked at Penny. She is not human. Thus, she cannot dream. The only solution? Make her human. "Penny, I'm sorry, but you can't enter the Dreamscape with us. It is called a Dreamscape for a reason."
Penny was dejected. "I understand, friend Jaune."
I nodded. But I had a smirk. "That is only true if you are still a synthetic human. Do you want to be human?"
Penny had a look of delight. If she could cry, she would. "I would love nothing more to become human!"
I smiled. "Alright then! Let's make you human!"
Rose and Pietro were going to say something, but they couldn't since I took the Gokon Tekko out of my item box, wore it, and took out Penny's soul, which had no human form, only a ball form, which is reminiscent of her core that holds it.
I spoke to the voice. 'How much D.E. is required to make an empty human body?'
[Beep! It would take 100 units of D.E. to make a new human body]
I was shocked. 'That's ten times more than creating the Extreme Magic Circuits, but still manageable without having to unseal my powers.'
Golden energy swirled through the entire room. Everyone was blown away by the amount of power they felt. Thankfully, I created a barrier to ensure no energy would leak out. It was taking more than a minute to create the new body of Penny. I guess it should take longer than making new Magic Circuits.
Once the body was done…it became awkward. Qrow looked away, and so did Pietro. Why? Because Penny was buck-naked! I immediately created clothes for her to wear. I looked at her. "How are you feeling, Penny?"
She moved her new body around. "I feel…Sensational! I'm feeling new things that I've never felt before! I can feel my heart beating! I can even smell!"
I laughed. This would be a wonderful new experience for her. However, we don't have much time. "Now, everyone sit in a circle around me."
The one I plan to bring to my Dreamscape is my girls, along with their counterparts, Qrow, Penny, Maria, Fria, and Winter.
