Remnant's Protectors

Devil's Advocate

3rd POV

Somewhere in a forest we see beams of light hit the ground. When they fade we can see Creator and Iron. Creator rushes to Iron's side. Waving his hand Iron's armor opens up, exposing his mangled limbs.

Creator: "Good heavens."

Waving his hand again Iron is brought back to full health. His eyes then open, landing on Creator.

Iron: "Is it safe?"

Creator: "Yes."

Iron gets to his feet. Then turning the base of his watch, a projection is made.

Creator: "Any idea where we are?"

Iron: "Remnant 2."

Creator: "I know this world. It's one of the earlier ones I created."

Iron: "Then you know the hero here."

Creator: "Of course."

Iron: "Then let's go pay them a visit."

They leave with Creator leading the way. Eventually they arrive at a certain academy.

Iron: "Beacon?"

Creator: "Yep."

They enter Beacon Tower. Upon reaching the top floor they come face to face with a male with a full beard and gray hairs on his temples. He peeks up from his papers.

???: "Hello. Might I be able to help you?"

Creator: "I sure hope so..."

He speaks but I only hear nonsensical noises. The guy's eyes widen.

Creator: "Or should I just call you Luci?"

Luci: "How do you know my real name?"

Creator: "I can explain all. But it might be... a lot."

*one long winded explanation later*

Creator: "And that's why we need your help."

Luci: "So let me get this straight. An unfathomably powerful foe kicked your ass and now you both are recruiting heroes throughout the multiverse to help you in an all out war."

Creator: "Correct."

Iron: "Pretty much hit the nail over the head."

Luci: "I'm gonna need a minute."

Creator: "Very well. Come outside when you've reached a decision."

They exit Beacon Tower. From there they wait.

Iron: "Hey creator, I've got some questions."

Creator: "I shall try to answer them."

Iron: "Where exactly did you come from? Were you born, or did you just appear?"

Creator: "I... do not quite know myself. The earliest memory I have is creating the multiverse."

Iron: "You think there's something blocking it?"

Creator: "For a while I believed so. But as the eons passed I realized that it didn't matter. My one and only goal was to build and preserve the multiverse"

Iron: "That brings me to my next question. Has there ever been another one of you?"

Creator: "Not as far as I know. But who's to say that there hasn't? There exists things not even I know."

The doors to Beacon Tower open. Out walks Luci.

Iron: "Well?"

Luci: "I'll help."

Just then five people appear.

Iron: "Who're they?"

Luci: "They're my minions. They've agreed to help recruit heroes."

Creator: "Wonderful. This will help us greatly."

He snaps his fingers, sending Luci's minions into the sky as beams of light. Meanwhile Luci, Iron and Creator walk through a rift.
