An alternate aftermath to Stick War 2: Order Empire, with warriors of Inamorta crossing over into the realm of Remnant.


With Medusa slain, the war against the Chaos Empire ended. Cries of joy and celebration were heard all throughout the land of Inamorta, with the capital of the Order Empire holding a feast to honor their victory. Yet, there was a cause for weeping inside the castle walls. The feast beheld a second purpose; to honor the fallen Adicai, King Zarek's chosen leader of the Speartons.

All the royal siblings were present to honor their fallen brother, as King Zarek spoke up. "Adicai led the Speartons well. He gave us victory after victory against the rebels and against Medusa's troops. He adhered to the Way of the Spear completely, truly being 'born to die, but not before them.'" The Speartons in the room cheered in pride at hearing their national chant. "Unfortunately, everybody dies. May we all strive to be as Adicai, never faltering until the end." The King then withdrew himself, evidently grieving.

The Right Hand of the King, Zilaros, took his stead, speaking to all the stickmen in the room. "Today, we honor the fallen and celebrate the end of Chaos! The festival starts now!" His words spread across the Order Empire, the celebrations already underway. The miners of Order spent time with their families. The Swordwrath held mock duels for others to watch. The Archidons and Albowtrosses displayed speed and accuracy with target shooting. The Speartons and Shadowrath guarded the capital while others celebrated. The giants… Well, they weren't citizens or warriors for Order, so they just stood outside.

As for the Magikill, they were the star of the show. Their magic enabled them to create fantastical light shows while Merics stood just outside the range of their performances for safety. A lone Swordwrath watched with awe, sword stabbed into the ground as a support. He, and the rest of the audience, were placed at a safe distance from the performing Magikill. "Damn, maybe I should learn magic." The Swordwrath whispered.


In a distant part of Inamorta, Order miners were still working in the caves, the announcement of the Order Empire's victory having not arrived yet. "Hey, I found a huge crystal deposit!" One said, beckoning the other miners to his location. "Weird that it's white instead of blue, though." The miners shrugged and started mining anyway. The striking of the white crystal deposit didn't yield great results, however.

The miners staggered backward, as the struck crystals blew them back. The crystals glowed and caused a windstorm that went out into the rest of Inamorta. The miners struggled to keep balance, "I don't think those were normal crystals!" one said. "Oh, you think?!" Another replied, the others scurrying out of the cave.

They hid behind rocks and trees as a massive burst of wind sped out of the cave, the gale not letting them peek their heads out. After a few minutes, the wind calmed down, and one miner glanced at the crystal deposit. "Uh, guys? The crystals are gone." The rest facepalmed and went back into the cave to continue their job, unaware of the effects of the gale force winds.


At the Order capital, every nation's performance was halted by the extreme winds that had emerged from the cave. The royal siblings were sent out to investigate, as Speartons and Magikill were tasked with keeping the populace safe. Thera, leader of the Merics, shouted out to the mages in the capital. "Men and women, control the winds as we manage the festival!" The Merics started to cast their protective shields, as the Magikill attempted to redirect the winds away from the capital.

The other sticks went into the safety of their homes or hid behind the sturdy Spearton warriors present. One stick, however, was stuck in the chaos. The Swordwrath watching the Magikill earlier was trapped between the spells that the Magikill cast and the windstorm that caused this debacle. He ran against the wind, trying to keep steady even against the forces before him.

A Spearton, Albowtross and Archidon noticed his plight, and all rushed to get him to safety. The Spearton charged through the Magikill lines, managing to dodge the spells that the Magikill were casting. The Archidon ran past the Merics who kept the civilians safe. The Albowtross took to the skies and flew above the Magikill and Merics, diving towards the Swordwrath.

The three warriors arrived at the same and wrong time, as a nearby Magikill cast a counterspell right as they arrived! After this, the most unfortunate happened; the Archidon accidentally pulled a Meric along with his bowstring, and the Albowtross crashed into the Swordwrath while the Spearton stumbled over the Magikill, the magic from his staff malfunctioning.

The six members of Order were in the area of effect, the power of the wind dust in the air mixing with the magic in the Magikill's staff. The warriors were stuck within their own sphere of wind, unable to leave after trying to. The Swordwrath spoke first, saying, "Okay, what the hell just happened?!" The others kept silent, still in shock from the consecutive accidents.


Welcome, Order, to Remnant

The smokescreen cleared before the others could speak. The clearing revealed a lush, emerald green forest. They all looked around, inspecting their surroundings. The Spearton spoke, "I believe that the capital was not just a forest." The Swordwrath replied, "Oh, you think?!" While the two conversed, the Albowtross scanned the area from the skies and the Archidon looked to the distance.

"Hey, guys! There's something up on that cliff over there!" The Albowtross said, pointing to a massive cliff in the distance. The rest of the warriors started traveling towards the cliff, having to stop occasionally for the Magikill.

On the way to the cliff, the Archidon spoke up. "So, what happened back there?" The Magikill hesitated, saying, "I… I'm not sure myself. The wind didn't feel magical, I'm not sure how it would've affected my magic at all." The others frowned at this, not knowing what sent them here or where in Inamorta they were in. "Have any of you been to a place like this before?"

The others shook their heads. The Magikill sighed, saying, "At the least, we haven't been harassed by Deads." The others slightly nodded in agreement, until the Swordwrath spotted "Wolves!" The others snapped their heads to the wolves in question, who were now also alerted to the party's location. The pitch-black wolves leaped towards the warriors, and the Swordwrath leaped at the wolves out of instinct. The other warriors sprang into action after the Swordwrath stunned one of the wolves, the Spearton and Archidon taking care of two at once while the Magikill set them ablaze.

As quickly as they arrived, the mysterious wolves were slain. Their bodies disintegrated into black dust. "Not the strongest things I've fought," said the Swordwrath. "Keep advancing, if hostiles are present here, it is best to avoid them before we get overwhelmed." Said the Spearton. "Man, you're serious." Whispered the Swordwrath, as the Spearton replied with, "That is why I wield the spear and shield, and you do not."

The Meric was healing the Archidon's minor wounds. Silent until now, she intervened to release the tension between the Swordwrath and the Spearton. "Now, now, you two are quite capable warriors. No need to quarrel over such matters." The Swordwrath, about to reply to the Spearton, conceded as the Spearton walked towards the cliff.

"Albowtross, are you strong enough to fly each of us up there?" The Spearton asked. "I can try?" The Albowtross replied, unsure. He started with the Archidon, successfully pulling him up with him. He proceeded with the Swordwrath and Meric, both easy to lift. The Magikill was next up, and the Albowtross had to be more careful due to the wizard's age. Lastly was the Spearton, the most difficult of them all.

"Jeez, man, how're you so heavy?" The Albowtross asked, unable to get any lift with his mechanical wings. "Armor, I suppose. Hand me the flying gear." The Albowtross reluctantly agreed and took off his wings. "Speartons know how to use our stuff?" The Spearton nodded, saying, "When our flying crossbowmen fall in combat, it is good to at least be able to use their gear."

The Spearton picked up the crossbowman and took to the skies with the flying gear, landing on the cliff with the rest of the party. Taking off the gear and returning it to the crossbowman, he spoke. "Everyone, we shall set camp here. The night will come soon, we will explore this land tomorrow." The others nodded and started setting up, rolling over a fallen log as a seat and setting up a campfire.


"Y'know, I don't actually know any of your names." The Swordwrath said, sitting on the log. The Archidon replied, being the only one still at camp as the rest were gathering food. "Name's Arcusan, you?" The Swordwrath replied, "Aichmire." The Archidon looked off into the distance. "There are some ruins over there. Maybe we should explore them later."

"Maybe, for now, I'll get some shuteye." Aichmire said, already dozing off. Arcusan chuckled, "For a weapon with so much wrath behind it, he's pretty laid back." Arcusan kept guard, waiting for night to come and the others to arrive.


For the RWBY fans reading this and don't know what Stick War is, I'll explain the Stick War nations, along with their religions and weapons.

The Swordwrath - This nation believes in the Way of the Sword, "Forging blades so sharp, that limbs will sever at mere sight."
The Archidon - This nation believes in the Way of the Bow, with arrows so precise that "They will fall before they get a chance to stand!"
The Spearton - This nation believes in the Way of the Spear, its soldiers being "Born to die, but not before them!"
The Magikill - This nation believes in the Way of the Mage, chanting that "Today, we summon unity!"

The nations' weapons are explained by their religions. However, there are other types of warriors in Inamorta.

The Shadowrath - A branch of the Swordwrath trained in assasination and stealth.
The Albowtross, or Flying Crossbowman - Volunteers who use mechanical wings to fly, firing crossbow bolts from above.
The Meric - Women from the Magikill, they are trained in the art of healing and shielding.
Giants - Overgrown stickmen from No Man's Land. Aren't officially warriors, but they've helped both sides in the war; willing or not.

For our sticks in Remnant, I'll quickly explain the abilities the units get in the games, since they'll need them to live among humans with Aura.

Swordwrath - Only one ability, Rage. Sacrifice a portion of your health, but gain massively increased speed in return.
Archidon - Only one ability, Fire Arrows. Shoot a volley of flaming arrows.
Spearton - Shield Wall, Shield Bash, and Spear Throw. Self explanatory.
Magikill - Blast, Poison Stream, and Electric Wall. A magic explosion, toxic sludge, and supernatural electricity.
Shadowrath - Shinobi and Fixate. Shinobi grants the unit temporary invisibility, and boosting the next strike's damage tenfold while also inflicting poison. Fixate makes the unit stronger the more times it lands a strike, making it stronger as it fights. Excellent abilities for assassination.
Meric - Heal, Cure, Bubble. Capable of healing all sorts of ailments with a mix of Heal and Cure, and temporary tanking with a Bubble shield.
Albowtross - Only one ability, Blazing Bolts. Similar to the Archidon's Fire Arrows, but with constant shots compared to one volley.
Giants don't get abilities, they just smash the ground outright.

That's all a RWBY fan needs to know to enjoy this. Thanks for making it this far. Cover's official art from Stick War 3.
