Remnant's Protectors

Six Down

Faunus POV

Cronos once more turns his hand counterclockwise. Deus slows down before moving in reverse. But narrowing his eyes a faint glow shines off of him. He stops moving. He then begins moving towards Cronos.

Cronos: "Impressive. Try this."

A massive clock manifest behind Cronos. The hands move backwards. Deus slows down but manages to keep going, albeit slowly.

Amica: "How the heck is he using his power? His mouth's still covered."

Faunus: "We can find out later. For now just grab him.

I attach two web strands to his back and pull. Rider wraps a chain Deus' waist and pulls alongside Iron. I fire two more webs which Super pulls. Finally Amica puts Deus in a choke hold before impaling the ground with several tendrils from his back.

Faunus: "Pull!!!"

With all of our might we pull. Deus glows again, pulling us forward.

Iron: "Pull!!!!"

Planting our feet we pull again. Cronos manifests two more clocks. This halts all of Deus' movement. This in turn allows us to begin pulling him backwards.

Amica: "We got you now!"

The clocks suddenly disappear.

Iron: "That's not good."

We look at Cronos. He looks down at his chest. We do too where blood begins drenching his clothes.

Rider: "Shit."

???: "Withdraw."

Like John Cronos' body morphs into smoke. With his body gone we see Deus. He opens his hand revealing a silver key. The Deus we're holding shatters into glass.

Speed: "What the hell is going on? How're you doing this?"

Deus rips the mouth plate off.

Deus: "Before, I had to speak. Now with John's body I'm no longer bound to that limit."

He looks at us. All of our strength leaves us, dropping us to the floor. He walks to us before stopping at me.

Deus: "Time to shine kid."

Grabbing my neck he knocks me out.

3rd POV

Deus throws Faunus over his shoulder and opens a portal.

Deus: "You won't be needing this."

He takes off Faunus' A.M.I.D before smashing it to pieces. He then heads for the portal.

Iron: "Where're you taking him?"

Deus: "To fulfill his destiny."

Without saying another word he enters the portal, leaving the area. At that moment the others are given their strength back. They then head back to the base where dread starts to fill them.

Rider: "We have to save him."

Iron: "I know. But it'll be hard when we have no idea where to even look."

Super: "Meaning until then he'll just have to try and survive on his own."

Amica: "I pray he makes it."

Speed: "We all do."
