A/N: I do not own Kamen Rider Drive or RWBY. Those belong to TOEI and Rooster Teeth.

A lone figure was standing on the edge of a cliff.

A figure was 17 year old boy, had a mostly well build. He has spiky brown hair with single dark blue streak and his skin is naturally tanned. Covering up his green eyes are a pair of stylish sunglasses with the left side is fitted with a scanner. He wore a dressed in a black with blue circuit lines leather jacket, black mittens, dark blue jeans, silver belt with some sort of silver holder and black snookers with white trims.

His name is Matthew Eastwar.

He took down a sunglasses "Weird. Scanner have nothing." On right hand he hold a tablet like device – called a Scroll – with map on city. He looked again on device, but before he did anything someone named 'Professor K' called him. Matt answered and device show a new image. It was the image of a grown man dressed in a blue blazer. He had neatly combed hair and a bit of facial hair in a mustache and goatee. This is Krim Steinbelt.

Matt bowed his head slightly. "Professor" he said to communicator "I reach to one cliff around Vale, but long range scanner don't detect any sigh of Slowdown. Maybe this was a false alarm at all ..."

"Hmm" voice from other side answered "I wish you have a right, but ... We both know about his suddenly disappeared few weeks ago. And few days ago, someone wrote about mystery phenomenal takes place in Vale. Phenomenal looked like Slowdown. This isn't accident I am afraid."

Matt sighed loudly. "I know professor, but I really have hope a Roidmudes don't move to Vale. We still have a problem in Atlas and I split up isn't good idea."

"Don't lose hope my student." Krim said with little smile on his face "Currently your mission currently is only checking a city and find a source of Slowdown. When we know what are happening, then we make a decision what next."

"Of course, professor." He nodded "Orders?"

"Send Shift Cars to patrol at first. Tomorrow you should contact captain Hotson from Special Crime on Vale Station. He cooperate with me and your father years ago and he will help you for this investigate. When you know something, contact me or Chris. Good luck Matthew!"

"Sir, yes sir" Once the channel was cut off, he put communicator back to his pocket and looked to city. "Guys I hope you heard a boss, Flare and police duo you stay with me." A dozen of miniature roads to appear behind him and direct themselves at the Vale. Boy yawned loudly "Man, I am tire. First sleep, second work. Yes, this is good plan." He walked to parked vehicle. This was a 2-door coupe with a black color scheme and blue electronic circuit lines. He opened the driver door and entered to car "Destination. Hinderk Hotel"

"Affirmative" a mechanical voice respond "Distance ten kilometers. Arrive time nine clock pm." he started engine. A coupe slowly began ride.

Over Drivin'

NEXT 01: Infamous Dark Drive ...

Tired.

Really drove a car for seven hours can be very tired. Even when you like it. And all commercial about coffee and this power up stuff … this really bunch of craps. Not worked at all. But few more minutes and I finally collapse on comfortable bed. I hope. But if aunt Rinna again not booked me room I will be angry. A very angry.

"Destination reach" NEXTridoron board computer said to me. I looked a small, probably four floor, building with parking lot. Good sign, I had a placed to parked my … or I should said professor car. He build this coupe for himself, but a suddenly return of Roimdudes change his mind. I parked a car and turned off engine "Standby mode. Goodnight." I glanced a black briefcases with silver "R" lay on passenger seat. Slowly I opened and my eyes saw most valuable items at world.

Some kind of black object with the front design of a car, which had yellow headlights, speed meters with two behind a larger one that was black with the red "S" on it. Also, it had a red button on side that said "Press" and finally it has this red key-like object that seems to be twistable. NEXT Drive Driver, bur I prefer called it a Dark Driver.

Second was a bracelet. It had a red and black strap and on the top was a large rectangular device that was black along the edge, barrier and center with red button to the ride side of it, It was also tilted to the right a bit making it angular. A NEXT Shift Brace.

I heard a honk. From pocket in my jacket appeared a miniature road and land next to briefcase. This was my partner. A black and blue color toy car – NEXT Shift Car. I smiled when he honked few next time. "Yeah, I guess you have a right." I took a Shift Brace and put on my left wrist. "Okay. We are ready" I said to him, closing a briefcases. NEXT return to my pocket and I get out from car.

Yawning very loud, I took my bag from trunk and walked to hotel. 'Come on Matt. Only few more minutes and you will be in bed. Mind and body, please cooperate with me.' I entered a building and saw a black counter. Behind sat a red hair cute girl with blue eyes. She is maybe at my age or little older than me. Aunt reserved a hotel where receptionist was a nice girl. I should said 'Accident', but I too good knew my aunt and her son …

"Welcome to the Hinderk Hotel, how may I help?" she asked with smile on her face.

I walked to counter "I have reservation. Name Eastwar." She nodded and start searched something in her computer. Meanwhile I looked around. Nothing particular. Some pizzeria or gentleman clubs flayers, flowers, photos. Boring.

"Mister Matthew Eastwar, correct?" she bring my notice. I nodded "Everything is okay. You're room 3" receptionist gave me card key and show me a room … opposite to her counter. "I hope you enjoy time in our hotel" she smiled again.

"Thank you" I turned and walked to my room. When I closed a door I saw receptionist wink to me. Interesting. I lay down both briefcase on glass table. NEXT ride away my pocket and I take off my shoes, jeans and jacket. "Good night, buddy" I said to NEXT and I collapsed to the bed. Toy car honked.

I immediately fall asleep. Tomorrow will be a tough day.

In one dormitory room, two girls were just about seriously arguing about Faunus and White Fang.

First of arguing girl sitting on her bed. She has long white hair with a slight pale blue tint, is done in a side ponytail on her right and is adorned with a small tiara that resembles icicles in shape. She has light-blue eyes along with a pale white complexion and her otherwise perfect skin is marred by a scar on her left eye. She has an apple-shaped necklace and a pair of rectangular earrings as accessories. On her upper body is thigh length white dress that fades to pale blue as it goes from top to bottom with a piece of black lace making up the neckline. A sash is tied around her waist that is the same pale blue as the dress and a pale blue pouch is attached to the back. A bolero jacket of the same color scheme with a red interior is worn over her dress, the design of a snowflake on the back. Upon her slender legs are white, heeled wedge boots that go to mid-calf.

This is Weiss Schnee.

Opposite to Ice Queen sit very pissed girl. She has long, wavy black hair that stops at her waistline. Her skin has a light olive complexion adorned with amber colored eyes which are complemented by light-purple eye shadow which flare backwards. Due to her naturally upwards shifting eyes, along with her purple bow upon her hair. She dress black buttoned vest with coattails and a white undershirt that exposes part of her midriff with white shorts that have a zipper on the front of each leg. Stockings that start off black at her hips, but gradually fade to purple as they near her black low-heeled boots adorn her legs and feet. She wears black ribbons on both of her arms, with a black detached sleeve and a silver band on her left arm. Around her neck is a detached scarf-like collar.

This is Blake Belladonna.

Middle of this 'battlefield' stood another two girls. One of them was the tallest of the four. Her long blonde hair that flows in a messy manner, with a few locks sticking out and a small cowlick on top of her head and becomes lighter in color at the tips. Pale skin is complimented by lilac eyes.
She wears a brown belt with a buckle, a pouch, and a small banner-like object, black shorts under her belt, which resembles a pleated skirt in the back. Over the short shorts but under the belt is a white asymmetrical back skirt. An orange infinity scarf around her neck. She wears brown knee-high platform boots that appear to be made of leather, with orange socks of different lengths. Her left leg also has a gray bandanna-like object wrapped around the top of her boot.

This is Yang Xiao Long.

Final girl is the youngest and the shortest person in the whole room. She has a dark brown short cut hair, look a wild but still presentable, and fades to red as gets is closer to the edges. Her pale white complexion emphasized to her hair and silver eyes. She dress a black blouse and skirt that both have red trimmings, black leggings, and black boots with red laces and soles. Also she has a black corset with red strings, a dark gray belt that holds a large number bullets in individual loops on her left, along with an ammo pouch on her right, and is topped off by an silver rose buckle. Her looks complete a red hooded cloak.

This is Ruby Rose, a younger sister of Yang.

But also a one another person was in room. Hide in shadows, try avoid attention from all of girls, he observed everything from under Blake's bed. He was a small, toy like purple ninja like hotrod. He is a Midnight Shadow, one of Drive comrades, send by Matthew to looking for sight of Slowdown. Somehow he rode to Beacon Academy and noticed open window one of rooms. Using this opportunity, a Shift Car planned check this school, but unlucky to him all girls back to room.

"I don't understand why this is such a problem," Weiss huffed as she stood up.

"That's the problem!" Blake countered.

"Do you realize you're defending an organization that hates humanity, don't you?" Weiss said "The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil."

"There's no such thing as "pure evil"! Why do you think they hate humanity? It's because of people like Cardin, people like 'you' that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!" Belladona yelled.

"People like me?"

"You're discriminatory!" Blake yelled angry.

"I am victim!" Weiss burst. "You want to know 'why' I despise the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the faunus?" The White Fang has been at war with my family for years. War. As in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I've watched family friends disappear, board members executed, an entire train car full of Dust... stolen."

Shadow fronts light blink few times. He heard this story many of times and always he felt this same. Angry. She never deserved for something like that. His previous partner and his wife died from White Fang assassin hand, try protect their family "I saw friends and family disappear one after another, board members executed, and large shipments of dust stolen. And every day, my father would come home furious. That made for a very difficult childhood." Weiss was silent for a moment before speaking again.

Ruby approached to her teammate and try comfort her "Weiss, I-"

"No!" Schnee yelled "You want to know why I despise the White Fang?!" She asked Blake "The White Fang is nothing but a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!"

"Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!" The entire room was still, and the temperature seemed to plummet. Blake's words ripped through Weiss like a hurricane. A black hair girl bolted from the room.

"Blake! Wait! Come back!" Ruby tried stop her friends, but she ran away. Shift Car ride after her, leaving behind her silent and stunned teammates.

Shadow managed to keep Blake in his sights as she sprinted finally stopped in front of the statue in the front of the school. Blake reached for the bow on her head and began to pull the knot apart. The black ribbon fell to the ground, revealing a pair of cat ears.

Shadow was very intriguing. Was she really a White Fang member? If yes, she leave this group of terrorist? Maybe was she on covered action and tried gain info about Huntress and Huntres? Why did she not try kill a Schnee family member?

Shadow decided to followed her. Mission can wait, he want find answer. This might help his new partner to understand White Fangs, before his new partner crossed 'red line' and shamed his family name for ever.

Next day

"Excuse me, I look for Special Crime Unit." I asked when entered a room. After few long hour of sleeping, NEXT wake me up and pointed vibrating jeans. I took a quick shower, change cloths and went to station. My mission for today was checked evidence for any cases with Slowdown sigh.

It was only a one man a sitting next to desk. He was in his late forties or so with black hair and brown eyes. He wore black suit, white shirt with red tie. I stopped and waited for what happened "I lam looking for a captain Hotson." he glance me. Why I had chill on my spine?

"And why may I ask?" I show him a Shift Brace "My, my. Come on boy" he pointed a chair opposite his desk. I walked to and sit. "So, are you send by Krim?" After my nodded, he gave me a scroll. "Hmm, I expected someone more experience."

"If you talk about mister Shijima I have bad news. He quit few months ago and he travel a world with his wife." Finally I want shout. Uncle Gou was a really pain in ass when I stared my training. After accident eight years ago, he changed. Now maybe he back to previous self, which I like when I was a kid.

"No boy, I think about first user" he said and I groaned angry. He really must remember me about Ejii and his suddenly dispersed. It was almost year after his quit to be a user of Drive system. A year I replaced him. "Okay. Look at this and tell what you think." he stood up and walked to coffee express "Want one?"

"Yes" I muttered. Scroll had all information about few incidents. Mostly a shop robbery and convoy hijack. Two things was always a same. Someone stole a Dust, a lot off Dust. Crystal, bullets, liquid. Second was witness testimony and everybody said about weird phenomenal. Like their body was frozen, but mind was a sharp. Goddamit! I knew what this mean I wasn't happy. He really moved his business here. But why? Man placed a coffee on desk. "I have no doubt. Slowdown."

"We prefer called this a Gravity Surge. Like years ago." men said "But one thing is weird." he clicked something on Scroll in my hand. I saw a map with few red points "You recognize this?" I nodded "Something missing. Can you tell me what missing?"

He has point. Something missing. If I remember, after Second Global Freeze, all Scroll had mounted a Slowdown Alarm. He was connected to communion network and should send an info to Gravity Surge detector on Drive Pit. But I wasn't saw any Slowdown sign on map, so this mean "It wasn't Roidmude. They can't mask a Slowdown."

Man took a sip a coffee from his cup "So it was a human with ability do Gravity Surge." he has a good point "If I remember" he back to his chair and sit down "only one Roidmude can produce device to do something like that. Number zero one eight."

"Not fully evolved, Gunner brother." I must admit, he really know about first Drive and he is a smart "True, but it is a problem. I eliminated both of them few months ago. All bracelet should be destroy." a man smirked. Oh boy, this isn't good. He put on something from his desk and pass to me "No way. A zero one eight bracelet. But how?"

"One off detective found this when he investigate a scene. We had a luck, because man who had this in his wrist was hit by shop owner before he used this." Good. Maybe this guy told who sold him this bracelet, but still it was odd. How was possible? 018 was destroy, no other Roidmude can created something like that. Second question was why now? I send this two bastard to hell almost half years ago. "Unfortunately." he caught my attention "He didn't remember anything from day before he bought this" man pointed a bracelet. I sighed "We tried to examination him, but he only said he didn't remember anything." So this is a perfect copy of 018 bracelet. Crap.

"And I guess bracelet not working, but I think how Roimude created this. Of course if this was crated by Roidmude. Any good news?" I asked. I had some information, but this was still no much.

"Yes. We check this guy and we find him on our databese. He is a thief and he work for Roman Torchwik, a thief." a man answered. He show me o photo of this guy "We try catch him from months, but without luck."

I scratch my head "Police can't catch a one guy, who stole a Dust?" a man nodded "But this don't make sense. If I correct, he moved few weeks ago, not half year ..."

He raised his hand to stop me "Of course this don't make sense Matthew. I didn't say it is a Roidmude or his job, but I checked a date at first rob with Slowdown and you know who disappeared. This same day."

I only can said one word "Fuck"

"Listen me Matt, I want ask you for help. Krim said me a lot about you. He gave you a very good reference" Oh professor, you shouldn't praise me. "I know about your duty, future Drive ..."

"Dark Drive" I corrected him "I don't like when someone calling me a future Drive."

"Of course. My mistake." he said and little bow his head "So son, you are interesting?"

"Of course mister Hotson." captain smiled. I took a cup with my coffee "So, when I should started?" he would answered, but someone burts in room. A woman … a very attractive woman.

She was about average my, maybe an inch shorter. Woman had long violet/indigo colored hair with a magenta highlight running through it. She was currently wearing a black suit with a pencil skirt.

"Capitain! Next robbery was happened and this time one of our Unit felt a Slowdown and saw an ancient." a woman said and slammed a hand of desk. "He told about some weird robot with cobra head."

"What?!" Hotson yelled surprised. He looked at me "Matt this is detective Melody Narumi, my ace. Melody this is Matt Eastwar, Steinbelt ace. You both will work together at that case." we both blinked. This was something new. I normally work solo or with Andy, but without police of Atlas. First want arrested me, because I threat and second want Dark Driver, NEXT and all Drive technology.

"Huh?/Could you repeat?" we both said in unison. Hotson smirked. Oh boy, this will be a long day.

Few minutes later

Me and Melody got out from police cruiser, which stopped few meters before crime scene. Must admit, this guys were really good. Three cars stayed next to shop and blocking a way from crowd, detective asking a witness or looking for some evidence, police photographer taking a photo. I had this felt. Something was wrong and this case will be different. I had some kind of sixth sense.

"Come kid." Melody said to me, holding a long gun like detector and loud sighed "Now I am babysitter. Just great. Dad was be proud." I rolled my eyes. If she only knew what I can do … but I have this stupid ban from transform when someone can see me. Drive system should be was a secret, no one should know. Thank You, professor … but he has a right. When somebody saw my transform into Dark Driver he or she would have a lot of question and sell information to Atlas. Ironwood probably will pay a fortune to get Drive technology to his hand. Which Core Driviars, Atlas can create a most advance robot army in history. Maybe even more dangerous than Roidmudes.

I followed a Melody to crime scene, when she asked one of detective about some Max. He pointed young man who shaking in corner "Oh no, not again." she said worry. So this must be guy who saw everything. We both walked to boy. Melody knelled "Max" no reaction. "Max." still no reaction from guy "Earth to Max. Wake up" she … shake a Max a little. This was interesting way to bring his attention, but it work. Point for her.

"Huh?" he blinked and notice us "Melody! I saw it! I felt this!" he suddenly stood up and started walking in circle. Melody sighed.

"Max what happened" she said. Max stooped and looked at us "When you called me, you sound like you were pretty afraid."

"Yes! First I saw a man in hood with red bracelet on his wrist." he started explain "He walked to shop with second guy and pointed a gun to shop owner. Before I could do anything, a one of employ jumped to both bad guys. He started fight and than a guy with bracelet used it. My body frozen, but my brain still was sharp. Employe froze too. Then second guy transform!" Roidmude and Torchwik thug worked together. "He looked like some kind of robot or android with cobra head ..." Cobra type low class "... and he has number on chest. Zero two … and nine. Yes! Nine! That monster started choke a this employed guy, which slowly change color to red. All his body was red."

This definitely Roidmude job. Twenty nine or Iron used trick this to find a perfect host for his synchronized and evolve. He repeat this again. What was wrong this freaks? Their really must repeat everything. "Red body? Crap, another victim." What she said? Another victim … o crap.

"Another?" I asked caught off guard. Melody nodded "You want tell me, this was another incident like that?"

"Yes. If I remember it was eight. Always Faunus" she said "Body was all red, victim was already dead. Why you asking?"

"Because this was Iron Roidmude job" I frowned angry. If I knew this earlier … "Fuck. Nine people died."

"Iron Roidmude?" Melody asked me "What is that? Some weird gang? And don't bother yourself. All was a White Fang member. This Iron cleaned a street from this terrorist group." Great. I knew, White Fang was a group of degenerates, but should be judge first. And then killed. After that what their did to Snowflake and my family … I clutched my fist. We had a really tough childhood. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah" I struggled. Focus Matt, focus. You met a Snowflake when you solved this case. "Max, can you told me ..." Suddenly, a red energy field appeared from nowhere. That caused everything in the area froze. I was froze one second than I return to normal speed "Slowdown!" I yelled and looked from Roidmude. But to my surprised I saw a blond man who moved normal. In his wrist … was a bracelet. Before I did anything, he started to ran away "Freeze!" I shouted and chased him. I really had a luck! "I say something!" Why they never listen?

Finally we reach a blind alley. Man glared me and I slowly toward to him "How?! You should be able to move?!" I smirked, but he jumped towards me. He tired kicked me, but I dodge and counterattack with my right fist. I hitting his face. He growled, but before he do something, I punched him multiple times before kicking his guts, sending him rolling on the ground. Man groaned and pull out from his pocket a knife. "Stay back!" he shouted to me. I snorted. No first time someone threat me like that. I flick my left hand and I slowly toward to him "I say something! You really want died!?"

"Try you luck" I said. He tried stab me, but my body was faster. My left hand catch his right wrist, before I twisting his wrist, forcing him to release a blade. Now time to end this. I catch man throat with right hand and finally I trim his left leg, sending him again on the ground. Still holding his wrist I started twisting his arm. He groaned with pain, and I kick away knife "You are under arrest!" When I thought it was over, someone jumped towards me and punch very hard, sending me to ground. With loud grown I glare my new opponent. Standing before blond men was a humanoid robot-like monster. Its body was all black, the finger tips were silver metal with holes that would appear to look like a gun's barrel, and its head was white with some features of a cobra to it with the mouth in front, and the neck ribs extending to the sides of its head. I spotted the numbers 029 on it chest. "Oh great. It's you Iron." I growled with pain in my voice.

"Thanks!" a man shouted. My luck. Roidmude glared me and took aim, but NEXT, Hunter, Monster, Barricade and Flare appeared and hit him very hard. I stood up, pull out my personal weapon – revolver like gun with landing panel on side. I took aim and fired few times to him, pushed him back.

Roidmude groaned "No way! You're Shift Cars and Drive ally!" NEXT hit him again. I catch Flare and insert to panel at side, before I fired again toRoidmude. "I will remember that!" 029 shouted before shooting his bullets on the ground. Smoke occurred and once it was clear they was already gone.

I lowered my gun, still feeling a punch from this bastard "Barricade, go" a black police cruiser drove away. "Thanks guys." I pull out Flare for landing.

"Matt!" Someone shouted from my behind. I turned and saw a very confused Melody holding her gun "W-what was that?!" she asked me. Oh great. She saw 029 and my little action. This will be a very long day.

"... and this all." I finished my explain. After little chat with 029 and medical check out from doctor after this punch from Roidmude, Melody demand an answers. First I tried persuade her it was only her imagination, but didn't work. Next I threat her … but I didn't expected one. She was like mom when she worked on police force. Scary woman who don't give a shit. Man, I now know what felt dad when he met a mom.

Finally I give up and explained her everything. Melody take sip a tea from her cup and glared me. "Let me think straight. This weird phenomenal was called a Destiny Shift and caused by this humanoid robot ..." she started

"... called a Roidmude, yes" I said "What you saw and I fought was a low class Roidmude with number core. This without number core are pretty easy to beaten."

"... and you are some kind of hunter." I nodded "Sending by Krim Steinbelt, famous scientist and creator of Core Driviars technology. Technology used by this freak and Torchwik like bastard. Hard to believe." I rolled my eyes "But after that I saw I believed you. But one thing still wondering me. Roidmude called you a Shift Car and Drive ally." I struggled. Man, what she was a really good observation. "And I saw a miniature toy like car attacking this cobra freak."

So she noticed that "Well yes. I am ally of Shift Cars and Drive. Maybe I should introduce you to few my friends" I pull out a NEXT, Cab and Flare from my jacket and put on the table "Met Massive Monster" I pointed a violet monster truck "... a Max Flare ..." my finger point a hot rod based orange car "... and my buddy, Type NEXT" finally I show her a NEXT, who honked. Melody blinked few times, before looked a toy than me. "Something wrong?"

"A little. Their really look like toys" she took a Monster from table and looked him from all side. Shift Car honked "Hard to believe they can attack monster." police cruiser honked few times and I laugh. Melody blinked "What?"

"He said he can beat you ass in one second." I smirked. Melody frowned and Monster honked again. NEXT honk after him "NEXT think that same."

"You really understand what they say?" I nodded "Another question. How you can move in Slowdown?" I pointed a Shift Car in her hand "They allow you."

"Yes. Shift Cars can protect from Destiny Shift, because they have this same source of energy. Core Driviars." Monster honked again "He said he want stay with you. I think it is a good idea. That allow you to move when Slowdown begin and help me after chased this blond guy."

"Thank you Monster" she said with smiled. Shift Car honked "I must say I was wrong about you, Matt. I think you are a next baby to protect like Max, but you impressed me. I hope our cooperation will be … interesting." she looked at her watch and her face change to horror "Crap! I am late! Thena will kill me! Later Matt!" Melody ran away from our table in cafe.

"Weird."

Sunday afternoon

"So you haven't nothing new for me" I muttered. This was little flustering. All yesterday evening and today afternoon I looked a blond guy, but no sing of this guy or 029. Melody used her informer, but he didn't know anything. Yes, this was flustering like hell. Now I was sited on NEXTridiron, solved the Rubik's cube and talked to computer specialist from Pit – Chris Yukine, aunt Rinna student. "Damn."

"Sorry. I try, but ... "

I sighed loud "Yeah, I know Chris, I know. So let's repeat everything. Torchwik stole a Dust …"

"Yes, he stole a lot of Dust, but nobody had idea why. He didn't sell it …" Chris said tapping something in computer "Nope, he didn't sell or even try."

"This mean he need this. But for what? He can equip an entire army or blow up half of continent with this stuff" I growled "He remind me a Lupin, but even he have have some motivation."

"Maybe he work form somebody." Yeah, that make sense. Torchwik is only a pawn. If I find a king I will win this game "But why he cooperate with zero zero six? We know, he synchronized with mafia boss again, but still I don't idea why Torchwik or Torchwik boss would work with Roidmudes. Six may used slowdown and kill everyone."

"I agreed, but something is fishy about this. You should look for Torchwik boss or this White Fang ..."

"Oh yeah, almost forget about that. You have any inlet about this nine murders?"

"Not much. Nine murders. All victim skin turned to red before died. Faunus, ex or current White Fang members. Probably Iron eliminate a weak point, so this mean zero zero six work with White Fang too" he said "Matt, if White Fang, Torchwik and Roidmudes cooperate together this mean nothing good for Vale and rest of world."

"Yeah, I know. Man, I have bad feeling about that." I sighed "Okay, thanks for help."

"No problem. See you later and back quick. Andy have problem with Tornado and Reaper Unit. "Chris said and end call.

Time to little relax and clear mind. Maybe this can help me. I placed a Rubik's cube on passenger seat and lean my head on headrest. I closed my eyes "Matt!" I suddenly opened. That voice … now way. I blinked few times and lean out from NEXTridoron. No way! Snowflake?! This was unexpected even for me. Yeah, I knew she now study in Beacon Academy, but still I didn't expected meet her right now. "What the hell are you doing here?" Why she … oh, she active her proud bitch mode. Typical when we met and she was with someone else.

I rolled my eyes and get out from car. "Nice to see you, too princess" I said crossed my arms. Weiss stopped front at me "Lovely day ..." she glared me "What? I tried be nice." white hair girl snort "Oh come on! We really must repeat this every time?" I asked her. "Could you switch to your normal self, please?" Arrogance, cold, everything knowing better, criticize and annoying girl. This is 'Heiress' face of Weiss Schnee. Something I am really hate.

"Normal self?" asked blonde girl. I must admit, she is very attractive. "This is normal Weiss." I chuckled. Really Weiss? Why you never listen my advice, why.

Weiss only sighed and looked to her friend. "Yang listen me carefully. If you say somebody what happened next, I will freeze you ass, before I kill you. Understand?" a Blondie chick, named Yang and probably a Weiss teammate, nodded confused. After that, Snowflake jumped at me and hugged me very tight "Good to see you again!" And this 'Snowflake' face of Weiss Schnee. Opening to her friends, warm and really nice girl.

"You too Snowflake, you too" I said with big smiled at my face, returning a hug. And this is Weiss I know. "I really miss you, you know?" we broke a hug. She looked at me and smirked "I know this smirk. Something like 'You don't miss me and I kick you ass'."

"Something like that ..."

"Keep trying. Maybe next millennium you beat me" I mocked her. She rolled her eyes. "Just kidding."

"Wow!" Yang said very surprise "I miss something? I never saw this face of Weiss" she asked.

We both chuckled. "Me and her are childhood friend." I said, when Weiss nodded "My mentor worked along Weiss father for years, so we played together day after day after day and now we are very close. That I know when she is her bitch mode and when she is normal. And she know when I lied or try lied."

"This is definitely a new." she said "First I thought about lovers or something like that."

"Yang!" my friend yelled. I sweetdroped "We only friends." I nodded. Weiss was a special for me, but I never think about us like 'that'. Yes, I missed her when she leave Atlas, but I have my duty, she has her … even I didn't like her chose, but I respected that. "And try tease or mock me and I will freeze you ass" she threat Yang, but blond chick smirked. "Matt, what are you doing here?"

I leaned back to NEXTridoron "Mission from professor. His old friend asked for favor, so I arrived here and check few things."

"Professor?" asked Yang "So, you are student of Atlas Academy and come to Valyve Festival."

Weiss answered before me "No. Matt isn't a Hunter on training like us. He worked for professor Krim Steinbelt, a famous psychic scientist and owner Core Engine Company. Professor created few technology for Atlas and my family company. Now he work with with Rinna Sawagami ..."

"I heard this name. She got a noble prize for her study about new source of energy." I nodded. Yeah, aunt Rinna with professor Krim worked about second version of NEX Core Drives for Dark Drive, but she got a prize from something else. "Dust Driviars if I correct"

"NEX Dust Driviars version two. Technically it was a professor Hendrickson idea, but when he die, aunt Rinna took a project. When she won award she lend me, my old brother, my cousin and this little girl" I pointed a Weiss" order a pizza for a entire month. Remember?" Snowflake smiled and nodded "Man, I always wondering how Andy can ate pizza day after day entire month and didn't want something else."

"Because he was a idiot" she growled.

"Whatever princess" I pointed a NEXTridoron "This car is special. His source are a new version of Driviars. Car belongs to professor, but ..."

"Matt used him a lot. You can say, he is a real owner." Weiss finished. Yeah, last time when me met, I teach her how to drove a car. I was scared when Weiss almost wrack car. Thank God NEXTridoron have an autopilot, because professor probably will kill me. NEXTridoron was to important for Dark Drive. She looked at me "Why you don't call?"I rubbed my head "You promise me, remember? When I will be in Vale I call to you ..."

"Well, I want but I haven't much time." I sighed "I thought this favor should be easy, but now is complicating like hell. Also in Atlas we have a few problems and Andy need my help, so I work even today. I must return home a really fast. I am really sorry Weiss." she looked a disappointed "I try do everything to have a few free time hour for you, but …"

"Like always. Work on first place" she said. Great, now I feel guilty."When you started work from professor you changed." Second shot. Now I fell more much guilty. I really want her told about my duty, but Krim stricte forbid. "You hide something from me and I don't know why." Oh come on!

"Umm, Weiss" Yang interrupted her "I think you should stop. Hey, maybe we help you?" I blinked. Well, why not try.

"Okay. You heard about some weird incident?" I asked "When people frozen in place ..."

"You mean Slowdown?" she asked. Yeah, I told her about Slowdown and 'source' of this phenomenal, but I didn't tell about Drive technology or Roimudes. She knew an official version about First and Second Global Freeze twenty five years ago and Neo Shade "No, I didn't hear about this in Vale." I nodded.

"Like I thought. It was only rumors." I lied. I saw a bracelet on this guy wrist. That same created a 018 and someone must copied. Only Roidmude can do this. I had seventy percent confidence it was a 006 work. But without evidence I can't do nothing.

"Really? This professor send you here because some rumors?" a blond girl asked and disbelieve something like this. If somebody didn't know about my duty as Dark Drive and didn't meet Krim that it was a naturally. Even I was confused when he said me about this mission, but now? I must admit, he was right. Again. "This is stupid."

I rubbed my head "Well, you have right, but professor usually have a right."

"Yeah. Professor is maybe one o most mysterious person I have ever meet, but he also is very smart. Sometime I think he is a computer AI" I chuckled. Oh Weiss, you don't know a lot of thing about mister Krim and you will be a very surprise when you discover a truth.

"But the way, what are you two doing? You should relax or something?" I asked and crossed my arms. Weiss turned a look "You do this again, Snowflake?" I sighed loud. "How many times I told you about hearing somebody story first?"

"You really know her better than us." Yang said and looked to my childhood friend "He really isn't your boyfriend?" she teased Weiss. I rolled my eyes, because I knew what happened when someone crossed a red line. Weiss growled and blushed a little. Now, this something new. "Point." Yang smirked "Back to topic. Yes, Ice Queen argued with our teammate and she ran away. We are looking for her." she show me a photo with a black hair girl with amber eyes. "Maybe you saw her?" I scope a photo. She was cute, but not my type. I don't like a girl with cat ears hide in bow. I wasn't stupid, I can recognize a Faunus when I saw one.

"No, I didn't see her, but I think I can help. Could you borrow me this photo for a few second, please?" Yang nodded and gave me a picture "Thank you" I back to NEXTridoron and scanned a photo to computer "Search. Last two hours. Only Vale." I command. Car honked.

Yang looked at me little confused "You car really can find her? No offense, maybe look something from future, but ..."

I return her a photo "You don't believe? So, maybe a little bet?" I smirked, but before I said something Weiss pinched my ear to make me stop. "Ouch!"

"Don't even think about this" she said to blonde "He has a gamble problem and like make a bet for really stupid thinks."

"I haven't!"

She hissed "I don't ask you"

I massage my ear. "You are still mad about this bet?" I asked "It was ten years ago and I apologize you thousand times. It was you fault too, because you manipulated me to do this bet. You can said pass, but your did this. You … " I stop when she glared me. I felt a very dark aura around her. Maybe I should silence?

"Do what?" Yang asked intruding. Of course she want knew more about Weiss past and had something to teased her. I put finger to my lips "Oh really? One day you or you tell me this" she grinned. After my dead body. I looked to Weiss.

"Okay. What's happened?" I asked. Snowflake lower her head a little. She wasn't looked at my eye, this was a bad sing. "Weiss ..." My brain started solved this problem. Girl was a Faunus, Weiss hate Faunus, but one type of Faunus hate a most. White Fang members. Crap. How much I want be mad at her I can't. I know what this bastard did to her family. I saw her father angry when next Dust transport was stole. "She was a White Fang member, am I right?" I looked to Yang and she nodded. "Goddammit. Why everything must be so complicate?"

What I should tell her? One half of me agreed with Weiss. Faunus girl lied her teammates and she was terrorist group member. Maybe she even killed someone from Snowflake family's friends or planing kill Weiss. This was possible. Other hand, Headmaster of Beacon Academy must knew about this girl past and he gave her change to redemption. But … I did that same as her. Nobody was trust me if I told I was a White Fang member. Probably I was be killed first night at Beacon, because lot of people hate Faunus and specially White Fang members. They didn't give a fuck about my reason, they only want my head.

Finally I decided what to say "You should don't care about her past." Both girls blinked to surprised. I placed my hand on Schnee shoulder. "Listen me Weiss. I know it's difficult for you and your views about Faunus, but you should don't care. This girl could kidnap you or even kill everyday last half year, but she didn't do this. You probably even don't realized she wasn't a human like me, you or Yang."

"But she hide truth ..."

I stopped her "Think about this. She can told you at first day 'Hey I'm Faunus and ex member of White Fang, but still have a lot friend there! And this bow hide my cat ears!" Yang shock her head to agree with me "Everybody lies Weiss, you must deal with it. But everybody deserve for a chance to change." I poked a Snowflake chest "You know this. You have a good heart." I smiled "And please. When you find her, switch to normal mode and be honest to her. When you give her chance than somebody give you chance in future.

Three of us be silent for few second. "Wow" Yang said and clapped. "He have a right, Weiss. You should give a Blake chance. Or at least hear her story." Snowflake looked on me and want said something, but suddenly everything frozen. Crap! Slowdown! "What the hell?!" I returned to normal speed "How do you do that?"

"Later" I heard a broke glass and I ran them. Slowdown end to my big surprise. Guess who tried rob a next shop dust "Stop!" I yelled to guy from yesterday. He turned and saw me. Probably I wasn't a most liked person in his list, but he reacted. Maybe not I want, because thug pull out a gun. Smart I must say, but I was prepare for this. "I think I should stop your time" I pressed a button on Shift Brace with NEXT "Heavy Acceleration Field … active" an another Slowdown appeared. A man freeze to his big surprised. I walked to him and a took Shift Destiny bracelet "I take this and I hope you will be cooperate with detective Narumi ..."

"Screw you" he said to me when I disarmed him. "I don't said a word ..." I knockout him. Slowdown ended when NEXT ride away Shift Brace. He honked few time and back to my pocket.

"Thanks buddy" I handcuff a thug. Next I opened my scroll and found a detective contact. Few second later I connected to her "It's me."

"I see" she answered "What's wrong?"

"You remember a guy who escaped yesterday?" Melody nodded "I caught him. Moron tried rob next shop, but I was nearby."

She sighed "This good news, but probably he forgot everything like last one." I show her a bracelet "Hmm?" I smirked.

"He didn't forget. I took this little before exploded and erase this idiot memory." on her eyes I saw a starts "I send a coordinates. He is all you. I catch you later, partner" Call ended. It's time to back to both probably surprise girls and my car. But before I started walked, girls ran to me. "Are you alright?"

Yang raised her eyebrown "I think we should ask this question to you. What the hell was that?" I looked at Snowflake and she was little confused. "Can you explain ..."

"Slowdown" I said.

"Slow … what? Wait, this was that thing you told us?" a blond chick. I nodded "Who? How?"

With sighed I looked at Yang "I am very sorry Yang but it's classified. I can't tell you a word, because I probably lost my job and go to jail." Shift Brace bumber started blinked. Miniature hologram appeared "Alarm signal from Shadow … oh, he back." I muttered to myself.

"Who back?" Weiss asked suspiciously „And who is Shadow?" I gulped. Crap, think Matt, think. You must lied her again. I really hope Krim will sponsor a gift for Weiss when she find a truth or she will murder me. "Matt ..."

"Well … umm." I tried think about something "Shadow is … Krim's spy … Yes, he is industry spy, professor sent him to find a guy who steel his company technology, before someone buy it." Whew, this was close. Weiss frowned, but I think she buy this story. "Sorry girls, but work calling." I started walked "Oh, one more think. You better go, because police will be any moment and I think you don't want be a testimony." Yang and Weiss looked each other "Don't ask me, I only give you a friend advice. Come on." both girls followed me.

We finally reach to NEXTridoron "Matt" Yang finally broke a silence "I have one question. Who are you?" I smirked "Oh, it's classified too?" With my nodded Yang looked at my friend "You have a really mystery boyfriend … Snowflake." she teased Weiss.

"Yang!" Schnee shouted and tried created a Glyph, but I catch her arm "Let me go! Matt!" Yang smirked "Oh you, tell this Ruby or Jaune

What?"Who is Jaune?" I asked ... crap. This sound I was jealous or something. Me and my long tongue.

Yang smirked "Your secret are safe with me … for now" she said with big grin on her face. Oh man "And you mister classified own a drink … or fews. See you later." a blond chick winked to me and walked forward. I let go Weiss arm "Come on Ice Queen, we still must find Blake."

"She has a point." I said "If I find something I send you info. And remember, be nice." Weiss nodded and smiled "I glad can I see you." I hugged her. After while we broke a hug "Take care." I want got in NEXTridoron, but Snowflake catch my hand. Before I said something she kissed me on the check.

"This for advice." she smiled "And if this work I own you a coffee. Take care." Snowflake ran to Yang. I sighed loud and got to car.

Now time to go to work.

Blake rolled on asphalt and groaned on pain. Why everything must complicate?! She finally get some of answered. White Fang really stole a Dust and cooperate with human. A worst man on the earth – Roman Torchwik. Blake hasn't other option – she must fought against her old brothers. Sun help her a lot, Ruby with Penny saved a day, but bastard run away, sending three next thug. They … transform.

But how Blake should call this new monsters? There aren't Grimm or White Fang member. They looks like a robot with cobra head and even four of them can beat one of their.

"Time to die" a cobra robot without number on his chest aimed his fingers toward Blake. Kunochi try stood up, but she was tired and injured. She looked around. Second one fight against Penny and Ruby. Nobody can save her now. Sun meantime was sending my third mechanical lifeforms to Blake. He landed next to her.

"Finish this both." a number Cobra order to second robot. But before that could happen honking caught his attention as he looked to the side before a series of purple transparent shuriken began to strike his chest sending him stumbling back. As the monster stumbled over his own feet he was surprised when he was tripped by a toy car sized road that formed behind his leg tripping him to is rear. "Ah!"

Blake checked Sun condition "Are you alright?" she asked and helped a monkey Fuanus. He groaned in pain. Meantime Shadow pushing back both Cobra Roidmudes. 029 jumped to one of unconscious White Fang Member.

"Crap, next Drive ally!" he pull out a car like device that was all red but had a blue cobra head on the hood with it's mouth opened and it's tail extending around the roof and window of the little car. "You are going down" he put the core down for human. A car thing absorbed into turning into a glowing red orb.

It's body was now altered into a red colored body, it's legs were a dull grey and red. The center of his torso was exposing bronze colored bumps or metal that made the appearance of rippling muscles like a six pack and large pectorals. His shoulders were now covered by large armored pads that curve around the sides the tops of the armor had multiple red blade like rims of metal before going to a large looping arc stopping from them from connecting to his body. Forearms are covered by purple armor along the bottoms and sides but the top of his arms have large sections of armor that slightly resemble steel girders. His head was a strange mix of metal pipe and wire work making a strangely intricate pattern.

Shadow try attack evolved Roidmude, but Iron punch him and send back to Blake's feet. "Stay down!" Shift Car honked one more time and shut down. "Now I will kill you all!"

Where I reach the rooftop of one of magazines I take a looked at battlefield. Two normal girls fought against one of Cobra Roimude, when one cat Faunus and one monkey boy l against second Cobra and one evolved. His body was all red with iron gauntlets on his forearms. This was definitely Iron, but why his color was red? Think Matt, think. Normal evolution change Roimude color to purple, gold, black or something else, but only one type of evolution can do this. A fusion evolution. Another new things. First copy of 018 bracelet, next Roidmude eliminated a White Fang members and now this. After battle I must reported that to professor. But still one thing wondering me. How zero zero six get a Fusion Viral Core. I knew, he moved to Vale and started new business with sold a Slowdown bracelet, but Fusion Core? This was very very bad.

"Ahh!"a Red hood girl yelled and hit a wall a building I was. Oh yes, I almost forget. I strap a Dark Driver to my waist and catch a NEXT Shift Car. My little partner honk. "Blake, look out!" she shouted to black hair girl with some kind ninja gear. She said Blake? Oh my goddammit luck! I found Weiss teammates.

START OUR MISSION!

My right hand twisted a black knob on Driver, which cause standby techno like music started played. I rise my left hand and shook my head a little. Than I insert the Shift Car into the Shift Brace "Henshin"

"You are mine!" one of no number rush to Red Hood girl.

A dark bodysuit with blue connecting lines formed over my body before the armor pieces fell into place, sporting a similar blue line on black surface design. Helmet was completely black with the exception of a blue circuit line running along the middle of the forehead to meet the 'R' logo resting on the forehead. Eyes were protected by blue optics that was shaped like a pair of stylish sunglasses. An energy tire formed from NEXTridoron and flew over to me before settling on my upper torso with the tread grooves highlighted in a yellow color and the words 'Type Next'.

DRIVE! TYPE NEXT!

Orchestral rock music finished played I snapped a right hand fingers. Shift Cars on my holder – Max Flare and Justice Hunter – flew away my Holder and attacked two Roimudes.

"What?!" Fusion Iron Roimude yelled, tried defend himself, but Hunter knocked him down. I again snapped my fingers, to command back my comrades into holder and jumped down next Red Hood. No number Cobra – I called him One - was surprised my suddenly enter. I punched him very hard and sending him back to his friends. Girl gasped in shock. "No way! You! Future Drive!"

"Are you okay?" I asked a Red hood girl … she has a silver eyes? What? It was even possible? Krim always said me … Matt not think about this! Focus! She nodded "Good. Hide."

"I will help!" she stood up and pull out … a very big red scythe. What the hell was wrong this kid today?! I rise my hand and stooped her "What?"

"Thanks, but no. This is my fight." she looked at me confused, but finally she hide her weapon. I nodded thankfully her and looked to Iron and two cobra oversize tins "Dark Drive for you. We have some unfinished business from earlier. Mission start ..." I flicked my left wrist "Right now!" I rushed to Iron

I jumped into the air as I slammed knee into the Cobra Two snout making it stumbling to the ground. Jumped forward as I punched the One, then send a punch in the Iron chest once making it stumble back a step giving me some room. I turned and grabbed the Two right swing, I slammed the back of his fist into the rib section of its torso making it twitch in pain. Using this moment I punched it's elbow making it's arm go limp for a second. Iron tried attacked me, but I ducked and he slam his comrade. I swung my arm up slamming his back, making him turned to me. I was lunching a punch to his chest, before I turned and slammed my elbow into his ribs section. Finished my combination of attacks, turned again I jumping in the air and kick his head, making it stumble back.

The Two Roidmude's, seeing his boss problem, aimed their fingers and fired their energy bullets towards me. First I ducked bullets, but second time I didn't have much luck. Their hit into my chest plate and Iron used this opportunity to slam me. That sent me flying back. I groaned when I hit asphalt. I glared all three mechanical life forms. Team Cobra aimed me again, Iron prepare for rush. I pressed three time Advance Button on bracelet.

NE-NE-NEXT!

My tire then began spinning around chest very fast. I leaned down before I sprinted forward, change into blue blur. First I jumped and knee into Iron head, sending him back. Next I sprinted to both low classs and with mu uppercut I sending the both of them flipping into the air. I began rapidly swing his left and right fists forward, each shot forward and pull back getting faster and faster, and faster, and faster. Each time my fists hit the two Roidmude the needle would move up or down and point at the two the second one of his two moving fists made contact.

"So Fast!" Red hood shouted as I kept punching effectively two in the air with my punches, "Faster! Faster! Faster!" she chanted as my punching. Time to climax. I rears right fist back I then shot it forward as a blue aura covered it the punch connected with the two at the same time, shot both Roidmudes back across the ground flipping and skidding across. "Look out!" she yelled. I turned my head and saw Iron rushed forward me. He lunched a punch, but I dodge and kick him back. Pull out a Max Flare from holder, I twisted a knob on Driver. Standby music started played. Jumping back, I switch a Shift Car on bracelet. Time for little power up.

TIRE CHANGE!

Ale four teenagers blinked to surprise. "Tire change? What is mean?" a boy asked Blake, but before she answered from nowhere appeared an orange tire. That had at least six curved flaps open up making a fire like pattern to the tire before it actually caught fire and flew off. "You guys see this!?"

"I see and I can't believe" Blake muttered. Ruby was amazement "A metallic tire … who created something like that." Of course I knew answer. Safety hide NEXTridoron.

The Tire flew through the air like a frissbee that me and Iron were fighting in. "Not this time!" Fusion Roidmude shouted. The tire flew by and hooked the NEXT Tire and pulled it off my chest and tossed it at the Iron, but the ducked and tire slam second no number Cobra Roidmude knocking him. "Ha! I told you!" I smirked under my helmet knowing what happened next. Flare tire then came back at me, but this time I ducked on instinct, making tire hit on Iron chest and send him back "Ahh!" he cried on pain.

Finally Flare tire slammed into my chest phasing through his armor and locking itself around the black stripe on armor. "Whoa...awesome." Red girl said as my tire began to release steam.

MAX FLARE!

My favorite one. "Time to burn!" Iron grunted as he got up and charged me, but I charged drawing my right arm back as fire burst from around my fist as I swung it forward hitting the Roidmdue in the chest with a small burst of flames from the impact sending the monster stumbling back from the head and the increase in my punching power. I punched with his left once again a flaming fist hitting Iron across the face making him stumble back several steps. I then kicked my right leg as it was covered in flames and hit Fusion Roidmude in the side sending him stumbling back once again. I swung my left fist and backhanded Iron sending him spinning around as I pressed three time button on bracelet.

FL-FL-FLARE!

With that a spiral of fire formed in front of me looking like a horizontal spinning tire made of pure flames. I spin and kicked the flaming spiral at Iron. Flames exploded into a giant tornado of pure fire that lifted the Roidmude up to the sky and through it into the one of container. Twisted a knob right hand, I pull out Justice Hunter from holder my left hand "Ready to caught some bad guys?" toy car honked. I pull out Flare and him immediately road to Red hood girl and landed on her shoulder. Oh Flare, you are so predictable. I pull Hunter to Brace.

TIRE CHANGE!

Hide, NEXTridoron's front left tire pulled in as energy formed into a red colored tire with silver bars along it, it also had something else attached to it. It looked to be a grill plate to a car with horizontal bars, with two handles on the left and right side, and it slightly resembles prison bars as well. Tire flew into the air and around me. It's grill plate then flew off and into my right hand, before the tire slammed into place.

JUSTICE HUNTER!

I raised my new weapon up and blocked a downward swing from Fusion Iron. Spuming around grill, I slammed it into his back, making red oversize tin stumbled forward from the blow. Pressed him on and punched Roidmude across the face making him stumble back more. And again before I was slamming the cage into Iron's face, he groaned and called his friends again. I swung a kick to Iron's waist making him roan in pain, then tossed the makeshift weapon into the air before I grabbed One Cobra head pulling him closer. I then punched the Roidmude once in the face before again in the chest, he then spun him around in a half circle, dodging a strike from Two Cobra and Iron. We changed positions. Two got his bearings back for a second before the iron cage fell and slammed into his head making him groan and hold it in pain as I caught my weapon and pushed both low class together.

"Wait for your time!" I shouted as I swung diagonally upward with a backhand swing hitting all three Roimude chest and sending their flying across the ground for a second before coming to a stop and hitting the floor. I tossed the weapon like a Frisbee as it flew through the air, before pressed three time red button on brace.

HUN-HUN-HUNTER!

The Cage began spinning over two cobra and growing as it did. Once it's sized dwarfed the Roidmudes it began to expel bars from it's frame that stabbed into the ground around their and formed a cage as the weapon formed a roof. Both roared and punched to get their free of these bars but as he did a large bolt of electricity came off it. I raised right hand to materialized my primary weapon. Created by a brief data stream taking a shape to black gun/knuckle mixed with metallic blade. "Next phase" Aimed to Fusion and shoot him few times.

I spun my blade and slammed the knuckle Iron's chest making the Roidmude stumble back again. Don't stopping, I slammed the knuckle on Iron in the abdomen making the monster lurch forward, before shot this bastard. Time to get serious. I rush to Iron, who tried fight back, by I slashed him vertical. Tried again, Iron dodge and then jumped around me left side before he swung his gauntlet, swatting my rear sending it flying forward across the ground. That hurt. I slowly got back up groaning in pain from these attack. Maybe my armor more advance than first Drive, but still hurt like hell. Iron rushed to me, but I pressed a one time a button on bracelet.

HUNTER!

I swung my blade and execute a powerful red-black-blue energized slash to Iron, sending it flying forward across cage. Large bolt of electricity shock all three, but cage was destroyed "Curse you Drive!" I turned a knob on Driver and switch Shift Car.

TIRE CHANGE!

A NEXT Tire flew back to me.

DRIVE! TYPE NEXT!

When tired change in my torso I shouted "Shadow! Instead of hiding, it's your rampage!" … but nothing happened. What the hell? "Shadow!" Iron punched ma and I take a few steps back. What wrong with Shadow?! He never act like that. "Okay. Spike!" a miniaturize road appear from nowhere. He slam Iron, ride next to girl with Flare on shoulder and finally reach to me. A green hotrod theme Shift Car called Funky Spike. I pulled him to Blade Gunner slot.

TUNE! FUNKY SPIKE!

I pointed knuckle to one of low class and pressed a trigger on knuckle. Gunner fired a green projective spike to One Cobra Roidmude, exploding on impact. Second tried attacked me, but I dodge and slashed him two times. "You forget about me!" Iron yelled and punched me few times, and sent me flying back. Damn, second time. Time to end this. I pressed a knob on Blade Gunner.

FINISHER!

Then I pressed three time button on bracelet.

NE-NE-NEXT!

My body change to blue blur and I sprinted to still reaming low class cobra. Kick him back I pressed a trigger on knuckle.

FULL THROTTLE! SPIKE!

A blade change color to green and I slashed a low class, destroying him one for all. "Nice!" a boy cheered and show me a thumb up. I stood up and looked around. Of course Iron tried to escaped. Not on my watch.

I switch a knob on Driver, than pressed button on Brace. "Time for final phase of this mission"

FINISHER!

Four tires appeared around the Roimude as they spun and made contact with it. Next two tires projections manifested themselves in front of me as I positioned myself. I flicked my left wrist as the tires on both my sides smashed into me.

FULL THROTTLE! NEXT!

The four tires around the Roimude sent him towards me, when I was sent to Iron. My right leg formed a blue aura and I aimed Iron. "NEXT Drop!" I shouted before landing on my feet, after that Fusion Roidmude exploded. A low class cobra Roidmude was sent back flying and a host landed on the floor. Last one thing "Prepare to eliminate … number zero two nine." I pointed Blade Gunner to Iron. He slowly stood up. Only pressed a knob and one Roidmu …

BREAK!

"Look out!" a red hood girl shouted me. Before I noticed what happened something hit me. Hit me fucking hard. I flew back and rolled, still holding Blade Gunner. "Ouch, this must hurt." No shit Red. I shook my head and I saw last thing I want saw.

Place I was few second ago stood a new armored figure. He wore a suit of black body armor with silver tubes on the left side of his lower chest and on the right side of his thigh, making it go all the way to his back. There was a mounted engine on his right shoulder and his helmet resembled an engine block. For his helmet, he had a yellow lens on the left side, while his other lens was completely covered by a grill. This is my biggest pain in the ass. Machine Chaser.

"Executor!" Iron shouted on fear. "You save me."

Roidmude Grim Reaper gaze me, ignoring Iron "We meet again infamous future Drive" he said. I stood up and shock my head a little. "Or I should called you Dark Drive" I knew what happened next and I was prepare for this "Not this time. We will fight in future, but now ..." he pointed his gun to ... Iron. Oh crap, he will execute him. "You failed number zero two nine. Boss order me to bring you to him."

"You never learn this Executor, do you?" With quick aim I open fired to Machine Chaser. He glared me and pointed his weapon toward me "You really I think I let you go with my trophy? You born yesterday?! His head is my!" Machine Chaser chuckled, before he aimed to Blake "Crap!"I ran toward girl.

GUN!

Machine Chaser fired barrage of purple colored energy shots toward Blake, but I pushed her and took all shots to my chest. I groaned in pain, but before I was do something Executor and Iron dissapear. "Fuck" I muttered to myself and looked to Faunus "Are you alright?" she nodded positive.

Good, but Iron escaped 'I still have this guy' I walked to 029 host 'Hmm. White Fang Grunt. Interesting. So Torchwik really cooperate with Faunus terrorist and Roidmude. Not good.' I started to checking his pockets. He must had something valuable for me. ID, wallet, family photo, ... hmm. What we have here. I pulled out a … photo of Faunus group. Probably another White Fang members. This maybe my useful. "I take it. And you" I handcuff a host, he grumble "Scum like you doesn't deserve for any law, but you have lucky day. I am not one who will judge you."

"Um, excuse me" I heard and rose my head, I saw a Red Hood … with star in her eyes? Well, this was something new for me. People various react for a Dark Drive armor, generally with fear, but someone like my armor. "Can I get your autograph?" Flare honked. Oh you ...

I chuckled. You saw a strange armor guy who can change a tire, fought against weird monster and you want autograph. I sighed "Okay, only this one time." I slowly stood up "Thanks this little" I pointed a toy on her shoulder "He asks me for this". Girl smiled and give me a paper with pencil "For who?"

"Ruby" a red hood girl said. I nodded and wrote on paper 'For Ruby from Dark Drive'. Flare ride on Ruby shoulder "Oh, you really must go?" asked my comrade. He honked sadly and ride to my holder.

I return her a paper "We still has mission to finish." I want pressed a button on bracelet, but ...

"Wait!" Blake, with Monkey Fanus help, walked toward me "Thank you. For saving me and my friends."

I bowed my head a little "This my duty as Kamen Rider." And I want give Snowflake chance to repair her mistake from earlier.

Blake blinked confused "Kamen Rider? What this mean?" I didn't answer, but only I pressed three time Button on brace.

NE-NE-NEXT!

I ran away with blue blur.

NEXT TIME ON OVER DRIVIN'!

"Correctly there are names are Roidmudes" Ozpin said and took sip for his mug. His assistant looked at him "Mechanical lifeforms, made by humans, somehow connected with both Global Freeze years ago. It's all information I find. And about our friend ..." Headmaster played another video from almost twenty five years ago. This same armored person fought … against similar armored person.

"I know you was worked for White Fang" I said to owner. He gulped and prepared to attack me, but I pull out my a gun and pointed him.
