I could see the confusion on Ruby's eyes as she tried to decipher what that meant, Penny tilted her head looking at me with a slightly happy expression.
I hummed as I glanced at her soul which I guess is fair for a robot to have one in a world with soul based power systems, I applaud to Pietro polendina for his blatant actions of playing God.
I turned to anarchy and looked at him with a slight smile, my eyes slowly turned cyan and the true knife unraveled into a bundle of strings that shot out and immediately wrapped around anarchy.
I pulled my arms and then threw him upwards. The girls blinked but before they could react he was brought down by giant hand made out of Shadow in a brutal way.
Satella walked towards them with a smile on her face. "Admin, is that enough?."
I looked at her innocent face, I wanted to say no but she did a great job. "Yeah it is but it seems you let him escape through."
When Anarchy was about to be crushed by her hands, he immediately teleported out of there...somehow but this does not ruin my plans.
Ruby cautiously stared at us while pointing crescent rose towards us. "Who exactly are you guys."
Satella smiled. "Hello, in my world I am referred to as the great calamity, My name is Satella but my other self is called the witch of envy."
She is introducing herself properly like that...hmm well I don't want to be left behind soo. "Names Chara Dreemur, and I absolutely HATE humanity."
Yeah I actually did hate Humanity in my past life, I hated it whenever I had to torture and then kill a criminal, yeah at that time I saw things and it made me develop a malice to all things human.
So me becoming Chara may be part of that too
I glanced at Ruby's face, watching her expression shift from confusion to a mix of unease and determination. She didn't lower Crescent Rose, and I could see the gears in her head turning, trying to piece together what kind of threat we were.
Penny looked between me and Satella, still processing everything, but her smile hadn't faded. "You dislike humanity... but why? Did they hurt you?" she asked, almost innocently.
I scoffed, shoving my hands into my pockets. "Hurt? No... It's more complicated than that. Humans are predictable in their chaos. Greedy, selfish, and always finding ways to tear each other apart. I've seen enough to know that no matter the world, it's always the same pattern."
Ruby bit her lip, clearly uncomfortable. "That's... not true. People are good too! They can be kind, and they protect each other—"
I cut her off with a cold stare. "Maybe you're one of the few exceptions, Little Red. But that doesn't erase the rest. And besides, it doesn't matter what you think. I'm not here to change your mind or make you understand."
Satella hummed, seemingly unconcerned with the tension. "Admin's a bit cynical, but he's not wrong. In my world, humans betrayed, coveted, and destroyed just as much as they loved. It's in their nature."
I rolled my eyes. "Says the one who caused a world calamity, anyways Anarchy will probably never come back but we are here to resolve an anomaly that seemed into your world."
Ruby then suddenly realized something. "W-Wait, you're aliens...that's so cool?!!"
Well...I guess calling myself a demon is isn't scary...maybe I should not try to scare the overly enthusiastic girl.
Satella tilted her head cutely. "What's an alien?."
Ah yes of course, modern terms she understands this language probably because of the chat group but oh well. "It's an outsider from another world coming to your world, it's just like how you dragged Subaru from his world and into yours."
Satella pouted. "Hey, I only did that because he had a familiar energy and if I left him alone he would have died."
I gave her a deadpan stare. "He did die, multiple times."
"Yeah but no one except me knows that." She said with a smile.
Ruby lowered her weapon slightly, clearly still confused but more curious than hostile now. "Wait, so... you're here to fix something? An anomaly?"
I gave a short nod. "Yeah. Something from another world is leaking into yours and causing trouble. Anarchy was just the first symptom."
Penny looked thoughtful, tapping her chin. "If you dislike humanity so much, why bother helping? Wouldn't it be easier to just... let things fall apart?"
"Yeah it's because I am getting rewards, you see my group of 'friends' all of us are Megalomaniacs." I said with a smile.
Ruby looked at me like I just said something crazy. "Megalomaniacs? That doesn't sound very... friendly."
I gave a dry laugh. "Oh, trust me, it's not. We're not exactly the 'hold hands and sing songs' kind of group. We're in it for our own reasons."
Penny suddenly looked at something. "Oh, I have to go now Ruby. till we meet again."
Ruby did not get a chance to say anything before she penny ran away.
And when she left Nick fury and My beautiful little daughter arrived, she walked up towards me with a smile. "Dad, I want meat."
I knelt down slightly, ruffling her hair with a fond smile. "Of course you do, kiddo. You always want meat after a dimensional clean-up."
She beamed at me, practically glowing with innocent joy. The contrast between her and the carnage we'd just dealt with would probably give someone like Ruby whiplash.
Nick Fury, looking somehow both exhausted and seemed to have aged up a bit. "Why was I riding the back of a giant spider through the shadow realm."
I ignored his comments and stared at Ruby. "So can you take us to your leader."
Ruby blinked, her mouth slightly agape at the sheer absurdity of the past five minutes. Between Satella's cryptic smiles, my brutally honest monologue, and Nick Fury's casual words, she looked like she was on the verge of rebooting like a short-circuited scroll.
"I... uh... okay?" she stammered, her grip on Crescent Rose finally loosening. "You want me to take you to... Ozpin?"
Satella perked up. "Is he your king?"
Ruby hesitated. "Uhh... no, he's like... a headmaster. And kind of in charge of the people who protect the world. Sort of."
I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. "Close enough. As long as he has answers or resources, that'll do."
Nick groaned, still brushing spider-webs off his jacket. "I need a new weapon, I have already ran out of bullets."
Ruby did not know what was happening but she has already accepted the reality of us Aliens coming to her world.
Ruby reluctantly took the lead.
Nero held my hand as we walked together, she hummed once in a while, probably happy because I would have to find for her some meat.
Once we approached the gates, a few of the students glanced at the strange group following Ruby.
Satella smiled giving her an enchanting atmosphere. My black eyes were well, they were normal I guess, my appearance isn't all that amazing despite being Chara, but I also did not look all that bad.
A few murmurs rippled through the gathered students. Most looked at us with curiosity, a few with thinly veiled suspicion. I couldn't blame them. We probably looked like a walking sci-fi/fantasy/horror mashup, and one of us had literally just crushed a man with a giant shadow hand.
One brave soul stepped forward—Jaune Arc, if I recalled correctly from the files. He squinted, unsure whether to wave, run, or call security. "Uh… hey, Ruby. Who's your… uh… group?"
Ruby gave an awkward smile. "They're, um… visitors. From another world."
"Cool," Jaune said slowly. "Like aliens?"
Nero raised a hand excitedly. "I'm hungry!"
Jaune blinked. "I—okay."
I gave him a glance, he shrank back as he felt my gaze...Hey I am not that bad, tsk. "Hello Jaune, you seem weaker than some people here, I wonder why that is, but your soul also has a different taste to it, it's like the scent of a failed hero."
Jaune seemed panicked at my words. "Hey I-I'm trying, No one told me what aura was before I came to Beacon."
I rolled my eyes and prompted Ruby to continue, she sighed and walked forward giving jaune an apologetic smile.
As we moved deeper into the school, the halls seemed to grow quieter—partially from Ruby's nervous silence, partially because students were either avoiding us or ducking out of sight. I couldn't blame them. We weren't exactly subtle.
Satella twirled beside me, hands clasped behind her back, her dress practically floating with each step. She seemed entirely at ease, which was almost more unsettling than if she had been nervous. Nero stuck close, still humming. Nick grumbled something about needing a drink, a nap, and maybe therapy.
Eventually, we arrived at an elevator that led to Ozpin's office. Ruby hit the button with more force than necessary.
"You don't have to be so tense, you know," I said, watching the numbers tick down.
Ruby glanced at me, brow furrowed. "You threw a man into orbit and then crushed him with a shadow hand."
"And I said we're here to help," I shrugged. "You're still alive, aren't you?"
"Not exactly the most comforting way to say that," she muttered.
The elevator dinged. The doors opened. Ozpin was already standing by the window, coffee cup in hand, eyes calm and unreadable. Glynda stood beside him, stern as always, her gaze immediately locking onto me like she could judge my entire existence with a glance. Which, honestly, maybe she could.
"Miss Rose," Ozpin said in that gentle, too-knowing voice of his. "It appears you've brought guests."
"Yeah," Ruby muttered, stepping aside. "A lot of... powerful ones."
Satella grinned. "Oh, you look... interesting, you remind me of someone old man."
Ozpin chuckled and turned to look at her. "And who might you be miss."
Satella chuckled like she was a young maiden. "I am the Witch of Envy, but as you can see that is not me, my other self is Volatile but I would like it if you just called me...Satella."
I sighed and stared at her. "Can you not plot anything, honestly, you act like a second rate Villainess, I rather hang out with Emilia honestly."
Satella hummed. "There is no difference between me and her though, we look the same and people call her a witch and people call me a witch."
"You are a witch that went on a rampage because of how unstable the authority of envy was when you took it in, I would not blame you because you did not mean to do it."
Ozpin sipped his coffee, seemingly unfazed by the strange conversation happening in front of him. "Well, it's not every day I hear someone openly confess to being a calamity in another world."
Glynda didn't share his calm. Her gaze flicked between each of us—analyzing, measuring, and undoubtedly already calculating a containment strategy if things went sideways. "Is there a reason you're here besides philosophical musings and theatrics?"
I put my hands on my hips. "We are here to rid this world of Grimm and expell a being who has breached into it."
Ozpin reacted. "That is impossible, Miss Ruby can you leave please."
Ruby flinched at the tone, unsure if it was directed at her or the situation as a whole, but she obeyed quickly, casting one last glance at us before stepping out. The elevator doors slid shut behind her with a soft hiss, and the atmosphere in the room grew heavier.
Ozpin turned fully toward us, coffee still in hand but now forgotten. "You're speaking of the Grimm. And a breach. You'll have to elaborate on both."
I smirked. "You said it's impossible to get rid of Grimm, why is that?."
"Grimms are beings attracted from negative emotions, they are born from the Grimm pools which are the creation of the God of Darkness and the queen of the Grimm would probably try to stop you, you cannot defeat because she is immortal." What a lengthy explanation but what he said about me not being able to kill an immortal beings is...sort of correct and also sort of wrong.
"I mean, I could probably just erase her from existence or just rewrite it if I gather enough DETERMINATION for it. I me-"
Suddenly, I felt a strange sensation, a familiar whisper. My body froze, no the instincts of Chara Dreemur began to stir.
*You feel your sins crawling down your back, Hello Chara, It's me Your Old friend*
