Remnant's Protectors

Clues

Faunus POV

We become intrigued.

Faunus: "How'd you get these?"

Beast: "One day I was out making my daily patrols when I came across a temple. Being curious I investigated it. Though long abandoned I could hear its walls whispering its story. I followed those whispers to the heart of the temple. That's when I found it."

Cronos: "Found what?"

Beast: "The secret to the great beyond."

He looks over a section.

Beast: "Through the endless lays the door of opportunity. But upon it are seven shackles. Only by breaking these shackles can one see the light beyond."

Super: "It's gotta be talking about Realm Zero. And the shackles have got to be the keys."

Speed: "Does it say how to go about finding them?"

Beast: "To begin one's journey to the light beyond one must start from the beginning. For only from the beginning can one reach the end."

Amica: "That was redundant."

Rider: "What the hell's it mean beginning? They mean like the beginning of time?"

Iron: "Yes."

We all look at him.

Iron: "Think about it. All of reality revolves around Remnant. The door leads beyond Remnant. Beyond could also mean end. Therefore I theorize by beginning it means where all of this started. Otherwise..."

Super: "Remnant 1."

Y/N: "We have our heading. Let's get going."

Mashing the A.M.I.D. we're sent to our desired location. Landing we see the world already on fire.

Y/N: "This cannot be good."

A yell is heard. From out of nowhere dozens of the same man drop down each trying to bring a sword down on us. I web them together quickly subduing them. They soon vanish leaving only one. He's wearing a red button up shirt, black vest and tie, dark blue jeans and boots.

Super: "Mind telling us what that was about?"

???: "I'll kill him."

Faunus: "Who?"

???: "That demon who destroyed my world!!!!"

Rider: "What's your name kid?"

John: "John. John Ash. Sole survivor of my world."

I break him free.

Faunus: "Tell us what happened."

John: "He just showed up out of nowhere. Said something about a key. We thought he was some drunkard. But then he started killing. We tried to fight back. But his power was unlike anything in this world. He tore through everyone so easily. He killed everyone I love. For that he'll pay."

Iron: "Where is he now?"

John: "Don't know. Last time I saw him he was leveling Atlas. That was a couple days ago though."

Super: "Why don't you come with us then? We can relocate you until we find a way to fix your world."

He begins crying.

John: "That's very ki-"

A hand bursts through his chest. He looks at it then us developing a look of horror.

John: "He's here."

???: "Withdraw."

John's body morphs into smoke that spirals into the hand. That's when we see a cloaked figure. We narrow our eyes. He lowers his hood smiling. But once his hood goes down our eyes widen.
