A/N: Alright, so we just need Perseus and then we'll get into the actually important stuff!
Part Five Of The Crisis
[Remnant 16]
Perseus was pissed. Plain and simple. She'd been called out of a very important because the General 'needed to talk to her'. Worse yet, she'd been forced to leave Penny there, in an active combat zone no less!
"The damn world better be ending!" She grumbled to herself as she stomped into the elevator that lead to Ironwood's office. The elevator ride was filled with Perseus cursing to herself, furious that she'd been called away. When the doors slid open, she was greeted by two rather surprising sights; one was her Uncle Qrow and the other was that the General had apparently grown a beard. It suited him, she found herself internally admitting. The beard looked far better on him than no beard.
She snapped to a salute, "Sir." She curtly announced.
"At ease." He said, thinking she hadn't picked up on how uncomfortable he was. She had, "Please remove your helmet, R-Perseus." The General commanded. Ruby nervously glanced over at Qrow. "Trust me."
She sighed and did as she was told, slowly removing her helmet to reveal a slightly younger Ruby Rose. While she was clearly no older than fifteen, Ironwood noted that she looked as though she'd seen more combat than even he had. Scars littered her face, giving her the appearance of an experienced soldier.
"Qrow," She curtly greeted, her face still fixed to its default, neutral expression. "It's good to see you again." Her head snapped back to the General, "And you are?" She asked. He was taken aback for a moment.
"I beg your pardon?" James asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"You almost called me Ruby." She explained, "I'm not entirely convinced that the General knows my name. So, I'll ask again: Who are you?"
"That's where things get kinda complicated, kid." Qrow finally cut in. She'd seen right through their act, so they had to explain everything to her. The multiverse, Ilia, the gods of light and dark. Everything. Even how they'd fought and knocked her version of the General unconscious-something she was surprisingly cool with.
"So, you want me to come with you, to meet the god of light and save the universe?" Ruby asked.
"Well, when you put it like that, it sounds stupid." Qrow conceded, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.
"I'll do it." She told them. Before the other two could say anything further, they were all engulfed in a blue cloud.
[Remnant 5]
Now that everyone had been gathered in the Men of Letters bunker, they simply had to wait for further orders from the god of light. The door creaked open and all eyes shifted to look at the stairs, watching and waiting for the new visitor to show themself. Down the stairs came an older version of Jaune. He was much shorter than Jaune One or Two, and was closer to Yang One's height. He was dressed in a maroon sports coat, with a blue dress shirt and blue jeans. His face was covered in a scruffy, blonde beard with a matching haircut-it was a mix between Jaune One's spiky haircut and Jaune Two's neat, combed hair, somehow looking like neither. His eyes were far more tired and sunken than any of them had ever seen Jaune before.
Jaune meekly waved at the occupants in the bunker, "Hey, guys." He greeted. "Working with the Xiao Long sisters again, yay!" He said that last bit with just a hint of sarcasm.
"We're not exactly thrilled about working with you either, bud." Yang-5 grumbled.
"Considering you're somewhat responsible for all of this, I'd say you owe me."
"Us?" Ruby-5 asked, "How are we responsible for any of this?!"
"Hmm, let's see; you freed my brother because living without your dear sister was just too much for you to handle-another mess of yours that I had to clean up. Oh, and how about the fact that you shot me!"
"You're weak." Yang-5 said, just now figuring this all out and piecing it together. "That bullet weakened you. You'll be destroyed with the multiverse."
"You know who else is stuck here now?" Jaune's figure pointed to Ruby-5. "Because her essence is in me and vice versa."
"I'm so confused right now." Ruby-One suddenly added. Jaune-5 turned to her.
"Right, so-I'm the god of light. Hello!" He punctuated that statement with a wave and a forced smile. "Before I created the multiverse, my brother-the god of darkness-kept being a dickwad and destroyed everything I made, so I teamed up with him to make something new-the multiverse. After Salem rebelled and we wiped out all life, asked Ozma for help and restored life, my brother thought it would be a good idea to destroy the multiverse in its entirety. I made some archangels powerful enough and we locked the son of a bitch up. But at a price; I had to give one of my angels the Mark of Cain, which corrupts whoever it exists upon. Flash forward a few thousand years and these two imbeciles get it." Jaune-5 pointed at the Ruby and Yang from Remnant 5. "More specifically Yang. She becomes a murder machine, gets killed, turns into a demon, gets cured of that by their angel friend and a while later she tries to send herself to the moon so she can't hurt anyone, but her sister decided to remove the mark from her, and freed my brother. He tried to kill me, we worked things out, or so I thought and now we're here."
"You left out the part where you killed Oscar." Ruby pointed out.
"Do I really need to justify myself to you? He was rewriting the fabric of reality. So I wanted to have you two kill him, because that would have been a great ending to that chapter, but no, you wouldn't do it, and I had to. Then you shot me with the Equalizer."
"Which does to you whatever you do to someone else." Ruby-5 explained to Ruby-1.
"And now, the ones I've asked for help; Ruby one, two, fourteen, and sixteen,six-one six, Yang five and eighty-five, Blake five, Weiss two and Jaune two are the only ones who can help."
"And how do we do that?" Weiss-2 asked.
Before Jaune-5 could answer, there was suddenly a bright flash of light, and Ozpin was suddenly there. This Ozpin was different from the one on Remnant One, however; this one was wearing what looked like a green armor underneath a yellow cape. Jaune-5 sighed when he saw him.
"And who's this?" Yang-85 asked.
"Zoroastor?" The Flash asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I don't remember. All I know is that I've been cursed to watch the the most influential moments in the destruction of the multiverse." Zoroastor responded. "I am the Pariah."
Ilia came flying in the room, "Sir!" She cried, panic written all over her face. "The multiverse; it's gone! Remnant five is all that's left!" Jaune took a deep breath.
"Things are moving far quicker than needed." He remorsefully said. He turned to Ilia, "I'm sending the Paragons somewhere safe." He suddenly dropped to his knees with a cry of pain.
"Look!" Someone shouted, a wall of red was closing in on them, vaporizing books and trinkets as it touched them.
Ruby-1 watched as Jaune-5 threw his hand out, and suddenly, she felt as though she were falling. Everything moved in slow motion as she watched the wall of red close in on her friends, slowly vaporizing them to the touch. She cried out to them, but no noise came from her throat.
Blackness filled her vision and she felt like she was being thrown through wall after wall for hours until a numbness washed over her, followed by a buzzing feeling all over her body and an intense nausea. Her eyes flew open to see trees above her and she felt the ground below her. The buzzing and nausea suddenly disappeared, replaced by a painful grief. Her friends! Her family! All gone. Where was she now?
A/N: And that's where I'm gonna leave it for now. Any idea where The Paragons are? Big bet you'll never guess. And Zoroaster is supposed to fill the spot of Nash Wells in the original Crisis. Got the name from the acronym Ozpinhead that Ozpin's name comes from. Sorry about the lore dump that this chapter was, but I don't think everyone who reads this is an avid watcher of Supernatural, so I felt the need to give some of the pertinent information from the tenth, eleventh and fourteenth seasons.
