3rd POV

The day before the arrival the heroes all sit at the table.

John: "Well. Tomorrow's the big day."

Faunus: "Yep."

Iron: "The fate of the universe rests solely on our shoulders."

Y/N: "What was your world like John?"

They all look at him.

John: "Not like any of yours."

Iron: "Tell us."

John: "Well we don't have any Grimm, or dust, or auras and definitely no semblances."

Faunus: "What do you have?"

John: "Some would call it magic. But it's more like cosmic power. My power comes from two entities that live inside me. Their names are Magan and Fargo."

Iron: "Tell us about them."

John: "Magan attached to my soul when I first went berserk. We were hostile at first but in the end we grew to respect each other."

Y/N: "And Fargo?"

John: "Was an ancient celestial that was bound to me by an experiment meant to extend human life. He's been with me the longest."

He looks at the other heroes.

John: "Faunus?"

Faunus: "Like you I was an experiment. But mine was done so humans could have multiple Faunus abilities."

Iron: "And the women at your house?"

Faunus: "My daughter Noir. And my wife Blake."

Y/N: "That's my wife's teammate."

Iron: "Same here."

They all look at John.

John: "You all live the same set of events."

Iron: "So we live the same life?"

John: "More or less. But each of you have a point which distinguishes them. So you live the same. But not the same."

Amica: "That's hella confusing."

John: "That's how all the worlds have been structed. You'll understand one day. Iron, your turn."

Iron: "I'm the child of a famous and rich couple. After an explosion I was left the sole heir of their empire."

Y/N: "Did you go to Beacon?"

Iron: "Yep."

Faunus: "Same. Was Beacon attacked?"

Iron: "How'd you know?"

Faunus: "Mine was."

Y/N: "Mine wasn't."

Amica: "It's as John said. Same but not the same."

John: "Y/N?"

Y/N: "I rescued Amica from a corrupt company. The CEO used him to try and unlock immortality. He failed."

Amica: "That bastard shall rot in hell!!!"

Y/N's hand is shot into the air.

Y/N: "I thought we agreed you'd stop possessing my body."

Amica: "The situation called for it."

Iron: "Since we're a group of like minded people what shall we call ourselves?"

Faunus: "We protect people right? Why not call ourselves the protectors?"

Amica: "Sounds a little cliché."

Y/N: "I like it."

John: "I'm game."

Faunus sticks his hand out.

Faunus: "Then from this day onward we're the protectors."

They each put in their hand.

J/I/F/Y: "The protectors!"

The very next day they stand at the center of the soon to be battlefield.

John: "You guys ready?"

Faunus: *throws up hood* "Ready as we'll ever be."

Y/N: *cracks knuckles* "This thing won't know what hit them."

All but Iron's head suits up.

Iron: "What's the time S.A.M?"

S.A.M: "Object breaching atmosphere."

They look seeing a ball hitting reentry. It lands revealing itself as a man cloaked in armor.

John: "Who are you?"

He looks up showing swirling pits of fire for eyes. He then speaks.

Stranger: *undistinguished accent* "I have been called many names. Demon, abomination, freak of nature. But the one given by my master is Koda."

John: "What master do you serve?"

Koda: "The one who will rule all of creation."

Three variants split from him evening the odds.

Iron: *deploys helmet* "We'll only say this once."

Faunus: *lowers goggles* "Leave."

Y/N is engulfed by Amica.

Amica: "Before we devour your soul."

The variants rush tackling a hero to fight.
