Remnant's Protectors

Back From The Dead

Iron POV

I stare in complete shock at the sight before me. Just how is this possible?

Iron: "How in the name of Oum are you here?"

John: "I'll gladly tell you everything. But first, you got anything to eat?"

*small timeskip*

I stare in awe as John practically eats me out of a fridge. He mercilessly devours some ribs when I finally decide to step in.

Iron: "Alright spill it, how're you here? We saw your corpse. We pronounced you dead."

John: "I was dead. But I'm immortal. And there's only one true way to kill me."

He holds out his hand. Several crashes are soon heard.

John: "Sorry."

I wave my hand dismissively. A black katana then flies into his hand.

Iron: "Your sword?"

John: "Yeah. This is what can truly put me down. It's how Nero was able to wound me."

Iron: "How's it able to harm you?"

John: "The partner to the guy that ran the experiment on me found out about my escape. So he cooked up this little sword. It was crafted to nullify my healing."

Iron: "How'd you come to possess it?"

John: "Well. I fought a genetic clone of myself who stole it from the partner. After I beat the clone I stole the sword and put it away that way no one could wield it. And so my family could stay safe."

Iron: "You have a family?"

He becomes sad.

John: "Had."

Iron: "What happened?"

John: "That's a long story. But it'll have to wait. I found out some info on our big bad."

I get serious.

Iron: "Then this calls for the entire team."

I turn the dial of my newest device.

John: "What's that?"

Iron: "My newest device. The A.M.I.D. Or advanced multiversal identification device."

John: "How's it work?"

Iron: "Simple. Just turn this dial right here."

I turn said dial being presented with projections of serval universes. Eventually I land on a desired one.

Iron: "When you have your desired universe you simply mash the dial."

I look at John.

Iron: "Ready?"

John: "Yes."

I mash the dial in. Our bodies dissolve in light shooting into the cosmos. We zoom through tunnels of light before being spit out at the picked universe. I smile.

Iron: "That actually worked."

John: "You mean you didn't think it would?"

I nervously smile.

Iron: "I mean it was either a hit or a miss."

He rolls his eyes before looking around.

Jhon: "So which universe are we in?"

I slide at the details on the A.M.I.D.

Iron: "Remnant 68."

John: "That really helps."

Iron: "Then looks like we need to head into town."

Pressing a button on my ring I'm enveloped in my suit. Hovering into the air I take off in the direction of town. But turning back I still see John just standing there. I fly back to him uncovering my face. 

Iron: "Something wrong?"

John: "Dying kinda drained me of my power. Gonna need to wait for it recharge."

Iron: "So in other words, until it's recharged I'm your personal chauffeur."

John: "Please don't make it any more embarrassing than it already is."

Grabbing under his arms I carry him to the nearest town. Getting there we find it to be Vale. Landing I set John down.

Iron: "Vale. But I wonder which Vale it is."

We walk down the street when I get an alert on my HUD.

Iron: "Look out!!!"

I pull John out of the way. This spares him from being run over. Hovering into the air I fly after the speeding car.
