Remnant's Protectors

Not The Only Remnant

3rd POV

In a special lab in the heart of Atlas we see Iron staring at the strange John McKnight. 

Iron: "Who exactly are you?"

John: "My name's John McKnight. And I'm from a little planet called earth."

Iron: "What's an earth?"

He pulls out his phone. With a few taps he shows a hologram of his little blue planet.

John: "It's a small planet located in the Milky Way galaxy. Fixed between Venus and Mars. It's among the few inhabitable planets within the cosmos."

Iron puts his hand on his chin.

Iron: "You really expect me to believe you're from another planet?"

John: "I know it's hard to believe. But there's so many things you don't know. What you know only scratches the surface of the known."

Iron: "Then please enlighten me."

He puts away his phone.

John: "You're home of Remnant is nothing but creation made by another person."

Iron: "Well duh. That'd be Oum."

John: "But there're other Remnants out there. By my count there's about 78 other known Remnants. Some of them are pleasant. Others not so much."

Iron: "They not have a hero?"

John: "They each have their own hero. The Remnants that aren't pleasant had their heroes fail, turn to the darkside, or be born the villain."

Iron: "Why haven't you recruited good heroes?"

John: "Because most of them have faded into legend. So I'm going after more recent heroes."

Iron: "And why would that be?"

John: "An unknown force is emerging from the shadows of existence. If left unchecked then every known world faces annihilation. So will you help?"

Iron ponders.

Iron: "I'll have to consult my fiancé."

He walks out of the room.

Iron POV

I exit my lab heading to my finance's  office. Entering I see her marking papers.

Weiss: "Hey Y/N."

Iron: "Hi honey."

Weiss: "What's wrong?"

I take a seat in front of her desk.

Iron: "I've got some bad news."

She becomes nervous.

Weiss: "What is it?"

Iron: "Not only the world but existence needs saving."

Weiss: "Explain."

I tell her everything John told me. By the end she leans back in her chair.

Weiss: "This' a lot to take in."

Iron: "Believe me. I'm still trying to process it."

Weiss: "I vote you should go."

I look at her.

Y/N: "You do?"

Weiss: "Yes. You're the protector of Remnant. You should devote that protection to all known Remnants."

Iron: "What about the wedding?"

Weiss: "It's not for another three months. You have plenty of time to save the universe and make it back just in time for rehearsal."

I smile standing up.

Iron: "I love you so much."

I plant a kiss on her lips.

Iron: "Wish me luck."

Weiss: "You'll need it."

I head back to John.

3rd POV

Back in the lab we see John admiring Iron's various pieces of equipment. He then walks into the lab.

John: "Your world's pretty advanced."

Iron: "My family always had a knack for being ahead of their time."

John: "What about your fiancé?"

Iron: "Our companies combined forming L/N-Schnee Industries. Said company is the biggest company body in all of Remnant. We supply everything from weapon parts to building materials."

He walks to a table grabbing a ring. Slipping it on he's enveloped by his signature suit. John stares in surprise.

Iron: "What?"

John: "You just remind me of a character from my world."

Iron: "Who?"

John: "Ironman. The billionaire with a suit very similar to yours."

Iron: "I should talk to him sometime."

John: "Maybe later. Let's get to the other recruits."

With a slash motion a rift appears. They walk through heading to their second recruit.
