Remnant's Protectors

He's Coming

3rd POV

Leaning back Speed glides out of the way of Nero's attacks. But he doesn't let up.

Nero: "I must admit you were a challenge. You pushed me to my limit. But no matter. Now we fight on an even playing field."

Speed moves faster redirecting Nero's attacks.

Speed: "You need to calm down. You're pushing yourself too hard. If you don't stop then you'll hurt yourself."

Nero: "I don't care. You made me draw my own blood. That's never happened before. And I never want it to happen ever again."

His movements become faster as he further pushes his ability. But unknown to him it's wreaking havoc on his body. His vessels burst sending blood into his brain. But due too his unfathomable fury he's not feeling his end approaching.

Speed: "I mean it! You seriously need to stop!"

Nero: "No!! Not until you pay for laying your filthy hands on me!!!!"

He delivers a right hook. But it stops a mere inch from Speed's face. Panning to Nero we see him just standing there. He then pukes out blood. 

Speed: "I warned you."

Nero's eyes roll up into his head as he falls onto the ground. Blood then begins pooling under him. The heroes surround him.

Amica: "Is it over?"

Speed: "Yeah. It's over."

Iron: "Thank goodness."

Voice: "Well done."

They look around. Suddenly smoke spirals into existence. In its center a shadow cloaked figure is seen.

Faunus: "Who are you?"

Figure: "Someone who's very upset."

Iron POV

My heart aches hearing that voice. It's him. The man who's been plaguing my mind.

Iron: "You."

Super: "Answer the question. Who are you?"

Figure: "Your friend in the tin suit can answer that."

They all look at me. My eyes remain fixed on the figure.

Iron: "He's the big bad. The one who Koda and Nero serve. The one who was locked away."

They look back at him.

Amica: "Where are you?"

Figure: "Somewhere where I'm biding my time."

Speed: "For what?"

Figure: "War."

We all narrow our eyes.

Iron: "We'll stop you."

He remains stoic.

Figure: "Sure you will. Three weeks. That's all you've got. When it's up I'm coming to take my kingdom."

Faunus: "We'll be waiting."

The smoke disappears. Meanwhile we all look at each other.

Amica: "So it's finally happening. The fight to end all fights."

Super: "Yep. And the winner gets to decide what happens to every single universe."

Faunus: "No pressure."

Speed: "What do we do in the meantime?"

They all look at me.

Iron: "We head home and train. Train like we never have before. Because when the clock hits zero we'll need to give it everything we've got. If we don't then everything we know or will come to know will be lost."

Amica: "Then it's up to us to save everyone and everything."

*timeskip* 

I smile lifting up my goggles. I grab my newest creation looking it over.

Iron: "I finally did it."

I wrap it around my hand as it powers up. I twist the knob seeing various worlds fly past me. I smile.

Iron: "With this, multidimensional travel will be a piece of cake."

I ready a test run when the lights in my lab flicker.

Iron: "What's going on S.A.M?"

S.A.M: "Intruder alert."

I activate my blaster readying myself. But a rift soon opens in front of me. My eyes then widen at who steps out.

John: "Have I missed the deadline yet?"

My jaw hits the ground.

Iron: "John!?!?!?!"
