10. Just a Wallflower

"Well, before we get down to business, there's one more person you haven't met yet." Nora smiled, bouncing. "I'll go get her." With the speed of a certain cartoon chaparral bird, Nora dashed off, leaving the rest of the group behind.

Sunset and Valor sat beside Yang and Blake. Their daughter Li was busy reading a book on a nearby seat. "So, you two are certainly doing good." Sunset smiled, "Got married, got a kid...." she had a thought. "If you don't mind me asking, how though. Futanari Dust doesn't exist here, as far as I know, and the inclusion of magic is fairly recent....." Sunset tapped her chin.

"Well, let's say fonts of Equestrian magic popped up every now and again...." Yang smirked, as a blushing Blake looked away. 'Blakie and I happened to have taken a hike through Clearwood Pines," Clearwood was one of the local parks, "And we thought, "Hey, we're sweaty, tired, and here are some perfectly good hot springs." So we stripped, went in, and it turned out those springs had been mixed in with some Equestrian magic. Once I got out, well, let's say I had a...Xiao Schlong." The fister grinned, causing her wife and daughter to roll her eyes, while Sunset and Valor groaned, both wanting to slap her. "Well, Blakie here was SO interested in my new addition, we boinked in that pool for hours."

Sunset, upon seeing a glazed look in her dear Valor's eyes, playfully elbowed him, "Hey, no sexual fantasies about my friends unless I'm in them." She teased, causing her boyfriend to blush. "But, alright, dick giving pool. If I didn't know any better, I'd think the Cock Mage of Flowers had visited you two." She smirked. "I am, happy things worked out for you two." she smiled.

The quad of friends made small chat, before the doorbell was soon rung, incessantly one might say. After the tenth ring or so, Yang opened the door. "Oh, hey Nora." she said, sitting back down.

"So, who did you have to get?" Sunset asked, seeing hints of what looked like long, forest green hair behind Nora.

"Well duh, me and Jaune are here, so why wouldn't Ren be. Granted, he KIND of became a girl somehow, but eh, even still, Ren is Ren." Nora scooted out of the way, to reveal-

"Wallflower Blush?" Sunset's jaw dropped. Though, as her mind began to process, it made some sense. Ren's Semblance, allowing him to, in essence, mask himself, albeit to Grimm, could be part of why no one noticed Wallflower. Plus, Ren was never the most, well, outgoing person, or the one who tried to really stand out, nor was he the most outwardly emotional. However, part of her suspected it might be a prank Nora was playing. "Alright, if you really are Lie Ren, what's one thing only he would know?"

Wallflower sighed, and then gave a small smile. "Well, Pyrrah, first, it is a joy to see you back. And second, hmm....late in first year. You challenged Yang to a contest to see who had bigger breasts. You both had Blake, and Jaune, act as judges." She said, "You had Ruby record the whole thing."

Sunset's face grew red, as she was reminded of one of her, well, least proud moments. She admitted, she had been a BIT of jealous of Weiss when Jaune was pining for her, but tried to shove that down. "Alright, I believe you." she said. "Still, I'm honestly surprised to see you as a girl." She blinked. "Did you fall in a cursed spring?" she asked her.

Ren/Wallflower blinked back, "I have fallen into springs in the past, but none, as far as I know, have been cursed." She took a seat, beside Nora. "It seems whatever brought us to this world, seems to have made me a woman for a reason even I don't know still." She shrugged.

"Well, weird, but alright. So, from what I can gather, we all ended up here, or in my case, in Equestria after our deaths, is that correct?" Sunset asked, looking around. She received and more or less confirmatory nod from her assembled former Remnantians. "Though the question is, how, or why?"

"Were any of you hit by a truck before dying?" Shimmer asked, smirking. Those around her either rolled their eyes while chuckling, or gave her blank stares. "Sorry, I had to."

"Isekai jokes aside, I do recall hearing a voice right as I was dying. At first I thought it was my Grandpa Alex Louis, then I realized it didn't sound as manly as he was." Nora said. Her fellow former Remnantians all looked at each other, then at her. "What, something I said?" The redhead asked.

"Did it sound like a somehwat gruff, mysterious old guy?" Yang asked. Nora nodded, as her eyes widened. "I think each of us heard him, whatever he was. Something about wanting a second chance at life....." she recalled the last few moments of her life. Aged fifty five, saving her daughter, Blake, and their neighbors from a horde of Lahmu Grimm, how she would have liked to go down, fighting. Well, either that or dying of a heart attack during sex.

"So what, some voice in our head, or whoever or whatever the voice belonged to, sent all of us here?" Valor asked, and got slow nods from the others, "Well, we still don't know who sent us here, and why."

"Well, its unlikely we can find out more about this mysterious presence that was with us at our demises. All we can do is just wait, and watch out for any Grimm that may show up." Wallflower said. It was only then that the former Champion of Mistral noticed that the woman formerly known as Lie Ren had Stormflower carefully sheathed at her sides. They had presumably been covered up by the hem of her sweater. They looked well cared for, though there were noticeable differences in their design. A dagger of some sort had been attached to one, with a switch to have it pop out, alongside this were the small scars that lined the blades, and the straps on the ends of each hilt. The weapons gleamed with fresh polish.

"Good idea Ren-Ren." Nora beamed, pecking her beloved on the cheek. "So, that's decided then. We wait and see if Mr. Death Voice shows himself, while also kicking any Grimm ass that come our way!" She grinned, pumping a fist.

"Sounds like a plan Nors." Yang chuckled, stretching. "Well, its almost lunch time, so I'll get food started." the blonde bombshell got out of her seat, patted the heads of her wife and daughter, then sashayed her way into her home's kitchen, humming.

In the meantime, Sunset, Shimmer, Sci-Twi, and Blake began doing research. They looked through folklore and mythology, trying to discern if the voice they had heard upon their last fleeting moments of life was a being with some history, so they'd at least know who or what to call on. The others made small talk, laughing and smiling.

Little did any of the group of old comrades realize that, through a small scrying portal, on the surface looking like an ordinary mirror, someone was watching them.

"So, they've started figuring it out. Good, they'll to in order to face what's coming." The man said, stroking his beard.
