Remnant's Protectors

Battle Of The Void

Ozzy POV

Ember: "You're kidding."

Creator: "I'm not."

Iron: "If he was banished, then how the hell is he back now?"

Creator: "I don't know. For centuries he laid in slumber. But somehow, someway he's woken up. And he's ready."

Lily: "Ready for what?"

Creator: "War."

Our hearts sink a little.

Ozzy: "So what do we do?"

Creator: "We prepare. Noctis will waste no time in raising an army. Therefore we'll do the same. We'll travel the multiverse and recruit every hero within it. Hopefully with that our chances of winning will be just a little bit greater."

Iron: "Then let's get going. Before-"

Every alarm in my body goes off at max volume. With a spin I launch a strand of web. It's however frozen in place.

???: "There you are."

We look to see Noctis.

Creator: "This' scared ground. You're forbidden from stepping foot here."

Noctis: "I go where I please. No ground is forbidden to a conqueror."

Creator: "You will not have reality."

Noctis: "I will. And no one will stop me."

Creator is yanked to Noctis. He's then grabbed by the throat.

Noctis: "Especially a cheap imitation like you."

Lily: "Let him go!!!!"

Everyone suits up before rushing at Noctis.

Noctis: "Foolish children."

3rd POV

Chase is the first to reach Noctis, delivering a right hook. It however stops a nanometer from making contact. Chase's forearm snaps the other way at the elbow. He screams in agony only for it to be amplified by his arm snapping at the shoulder and pinning itself behind his back.

An unseen force strikes Chase's head, obliterating his helmet and sending him flying away. Zander zips up to Noctis. But he's soon frozen in place. Misty trails of dust now billow out of Zander's body. His hair turns stark white as his skin loses several shades. When finished he drops to the floor, breathing wheezily.

Lily and Ember rush in and manage to grab ahold of Noctis. But the second they make contact they both scream in pain. Lily bursts into flames, burning back to her normal state. Meanwhile Ember's fire burns brightly until it ultimately peters out. Like Chase they're not back by that unseen force.

Noctis looks up as Axel and Iron both aim rockets. But suddenly every piece of their armor spreads out, disassembled. They then reform as casings around their limbs. Without mercy the casings constrict, crushing their limbs. The last hero is Ozzy who uses web to pull himself towards Noctis.

Noctis weaves out the way of Ozzy's right hook. He then uses that force attack. But unlike everyone else, Ozzy's signature sense spares him. Now clear he finally manages to land an attack on Noctis.

Ozzy: "Got you."

Noctis backs a step. He then stares at Ozzy in both confusion and wonder.

Noctis: "Interesting."

He once more tries that force attack. But Ozzy dodges and slides between Noctis' feet before bringing his elbow into the back of Noctis' head.

Noctis: "Very interesting."

He looks at Ozzy.

Noctis: "You intrigue me."

Ozzy is pulled into Noctis' free hand. Noctis then looks at both Ozzy and Creator.

Noctis: "Any last words?"

Creator: "Only five."

He smiles.

Creator: "Catch us if you can."

He snaps his fingers. The heroes glow before shooting up into the sky as beams of light. Noctis looks at his empty hands. Lowering them he turns around.

Noctis: "No matter. That just makes this part easier."

A rift opens. Peeking inside we can see the tree of reality.
