Remnant's Protectors

Calling All Heroes

Ozzy POV

John, Ember and I walk through a portal. When we pass the threshold we come face to to face with the others.

Ember: "Where's everyone else?"

Iron smiles, reaching for a door handle. It creaks open. We walk through, heading to a railing. Looking down our eyes widen. Before us are hundreds of people. Heroes from countless worlds, united for a single task.

Ozzy: "There's so many."

Ember: "Think we'll have a shot now?"

Creator: "Our chances have increased."

He suddenly looks into space.

Iron: "What's wrong?"

Creator: "Something is so terribly wrong."

With a wave of his hand a massive projection is shown. We all go wide eyed seeing our homes being ravaged.

Axel: "Our homes."

Chase: "Who's behind this?"

The projection switches to the source of each world's destruction. My eyes narrow at what I see.

Ember: "Victoria."

Zander: "Norgal."

Lily: "Watts."

Iron: "It's villains. From all of our past."

Chase: "Some of these guys should be dead. So how're they here?"

Iron: "How'd this happen Creator?"

The projection switches. Several gasps can be heard as we see what happened.

Ember: "Glitch. He's gone."

Iron: "How screwed are we Creator?"

Creator: "Very."

Iron: "We need to move out. Now."

???: "But what about our homes?"

All eyes now fall on us, waiting for our response. I walk to the railing, taking their attention.

Ozzy: "I know you all are worried about your home, and the people within them. But we have a much bigger threat right now. We can rebuild our homes. But if we don't take care of this now, there won't be anything to repair. I don't mean to sound heartless, but forget everything outside this room. We're all the last thing standing between survival and total annihilation. I know you're sacred. We're facing something beyond comprehension. But every day when our world needed us, we stepped up to save the day. Well now the multiverse needs us to step up and save the day."

I raise my fist proudly into the air.

Ozzy: "So lets do what we always do. Suit up and rush into danger without a second thought. Let us save the ones counting on us. Friends. Family. Partners. Let's save the fucking multiverse."

There's a unnerving silence. I watch as they just mindlessly stare at me. Then out of my peripheral I see my team stand by my side. I smile as they match my raised fist. Pretty soon the sea of heroes slowly raise their fist. I smile widely when all I see are raised fists.

Ozzy: "Good." *lower fist* "Now. Our first plan will be containing our old foes."

???2: "How will we do that?"

Ozzy: "I don't know yet. If we all spread out then we'll be too stretched out, leaving Noctis the perfect chance to destroy us."

???3: "What if we cast a safety net?"

Ember: "Safety net?"

???4: "Yeah. Box them in. They won't be able to leave and we can beat them all together."

Chase: "That's a solid plan. But is something like that even feasible?"

Creator: "Yes."

Well look at him.

Axel: "How?"

Creator: "My power is to create new worlds that teems with life. But I can also destroy them."

Lily: "I think I know where this' going. You can destroy all the other worlds, leaving only one filled with us and the enemy."

Creator: "Correct."

A cold silence is heard.
