Iron POV

Finally catching up to the car I look through the windshield. I then hack the car's radio.

Iron: "Are you okay mam?"

Woman: "Yes but I don't have any breaks!!!"

Iron: "Hang on. I'll see what I can do."

Focusing I deploy a small drone from my thigh. It then flies under the car allowing me to see what I'm dealing with.

Iron: "Crap."

I turn my attention to the woman.

Iron: "Someone's completely removed your brakes."

Woman: "What!?!?!?!"

Iron: "Calm down. I'm gonna try and stop your car by hand. Just hang onto something."

She activates a death grip on the steering wheel. Meanwhile I fly behind the car and drop down grabbing ahold of the bumper. Planting my feet I pull with all my might, trying to bring the car to a stop. But it's proving more difficult than anticipated.

S.A.M: "Hurry, you're approaching a school zone."

I look over the car to see it heading for a group of kids crossing the road.

Iron: "Of course it had to be kids."

I deploy a parachute which pulls me back. But maintaining my grip the car begins slowing down. 

S.A.M: "Hundred yards until collision!"

I now deploy hooks through my feet attaching to the road. This slightly increases the slow down process. 

S.A.M: "Forty eight yards! You've gotta the car now!!!"

Iron: "What do you think I'm trying to do!?!?!"

Manifesting two tendrils the tips morph into engines. They expel at max power which greatly slows us down. Looking over the car I see the kids now screaming in fear. At the back of two tendrils I release two additional parachutes. This makes us slow down some more but not fully stop. I grow furious shouting into the air.

Iron: "Stop damn you!!!!!"

The car begins creaking finally reaching a complete stop. When it does it comes a hair's width from a kid in a red jacket. I sigh finally letting go of the car.

Iron: "Bout time."

I recall all the stuff and head to the kids.

Iron: "You kids okay?"

Kids: "Yes."

Girl: "Thanks mister."

I kneel down patting her head.

Iron: "Don't worry about it."

I get up and turn around to see John running to me. He then pants placing his hands on his knees. 

John: *gasping for air* "Is running... always this... tiring?"

Iron: "Usually."

He groans in exhaustion when we hear a familiar voice.

Voice: "Iron!!!!"

I smile seeing Faunus. He runs and hugs me deeply.

Faunus: "It's so good to see you again."

I return his hug.

Iron: "You too kid."

John: "So I guess I'm chopped liver."

Faunus lets go and stares at John in shock.

Faunus: "How?"

John: "I'll tell you later. For now we've gotta gather the others."

Faunus gets serious.

Faunus: "I suppose it's time?"

Iron: "Yes."

Faunus: "Then let's get going."

Picking another universe we're transported to it. But immediately we're presented with Y/N and his family.

Faunus: "Hey guys."

They face us getting shocked. But Y/N runs to us.

Y/N: "What brings you guys here?"

Iron: "Fraid nothing good. It's time."

He gets serious.

Y/N: "Understood."

He turns to his family.

Y/N: "Gotta go guys."

Lily: "Good luck dad."

Ruby: "Come back home safe."

He nods facing us. Mashing the dial we're sent to another Remnant.
