Remnant's Protectors

United

Y/N POV

We land finding ourselves in a spaceship. 

Iron: "Hey."

Faunus: "How'd you guys find me?"

Y/N: "Well..."

Faunus POV

I look at the kid, or Speed.

Faunus: "You're really that fast?"

Speed: "Yep."

Faunus: "Awesome."

A rift opens up between us. Our eyes widen as John's body falls at our feet.

IFY: "John!!!"

We rush to his side. It's then we notice his wound has been freshly reopened.

Faunus: "How is he?"

Iron places his fingers on John's neck. He then backs away hanging his head.

Iron: "He's dead."

Our eyes widen.

Y/N: "No. He can't be dead."

I walk away. Getting to the cockpit I slam my fist into a metal pillar denting it.

Faunus: "Damnit. Why him?"

I look to the heavens.

Faunus: "You just love picking on me, don't you?"

I sigh just thinking.

*timeskip 3rd POV*

The heroes now look down at John's body that's laying on a table.

Faunus: "Well?"

They look to Iron who's typing away on a console.

Iron: "His heart was crushed. That's how he died."

Y/N: "Nero's gonna pay for what did."

Iron: "Calm yourself. Let's not forget that he easily beat John. If we wanna beat him then we must have a good plan and not just charge head first."

Faunus: "Gonna be hard if we can't even touch him."

Super: "Why's that?"

Faunus: "We try to attack him and he easily avoids it. Probably has to do with his ability."

Super: "Do you know what it could be?"

Iron: "My money's on precognition. Makes the most sense. He sees our attacks coming and blocks accordingly."

Y/N: "I'm not so sure. When we fought Amica was able to grab his foot. If it was precognition that he wouldn't have been caught like that."

Speed POV

I think, what on earth could his ability be? I get taken out of my thoughts by Faunus speaking.

Faunus: "We even have any idea on where Nero could be?"

Iron: "No. With his ability to travel dimensions, we'd have a better chance at winning the lottery."

We lower our heads. 

Iron: "Wait. You're an alien right?"

Super: "Yeah."

Iron: "Then that means your tech's far beyond what ours is."

Faunus: "What're you getting at?"

Iron: "Speed. Think you can take us to my world?"

I become nervous.

Speed: "I can try."

I get rigged up. Like before I create another rift. When the spaceship door opens we enter a rather large workshop. The second we get inside Iron taps his ear piece.

Iron: "S.A.M. fire up the forge. We've got homework."

A machine comes to life warming up. Iron then makes a projection which quickly fills with numbers and equations. Meanwhile Iron taps on a holographic keyboard.

Y/N: "Talk to us Iron. What're you planning on doing?"

His eyes remain fixed on the projection.

Iron: "Super's got some advanced tech. And since he's from another planet that means his kind perfected space travel."

He swipes his hand sending the information somewhere.

Iron: "If I can combine his tech and mine then our chances of finding Nero might be better."

We watch as he assembles his creation. Near the end he walks to John's body. He places his hand on his chest.

Iron: "Forgive me."

With help of forceps he reaches into John's wound. I gag covering my mouth.

Speed: "That's really gross man."

After some disturbing squelching noises he withdraws the forceps. Looking close we see a fragment of a fingernail.

Y/N: "Is that..."

Faunus: "Nero's."

Iron places the fragment onto a tray housed within the device. It shuts as the machine beeps repeatedly. We then surround him.

Super: "So what is this little gizmo?"

Iron: "By combining your mapping tech and my tracking tech I built this device. I call it the Dimensional Tracking System."

He groans slightly.

Iron: "I'll come up with a better name later."

The DTS emits a long beep. We all look seeing a feed of a seemingly normal looking world.

Super: "Not what I'd expect a super secret hideout to be."

Y/N: "Doesn't matter. We know where Nero is. So I vote we head there and kill that sonova bitch."

He holds out his hand.

Y/N: "For John."

We each stack our hand. 

IFSS: "For John."
