A Kamen Rider x RWBY Crossover:

"Die Set Down"

Previously, on "Die Set Down"...

Remnant. The world in which Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long live in. A world teetering on the balance between light and darkness, with only the few and brave Huntsmen and Huntresses standing ready to defend their kingdoms. One day, Professor Ozpin, the Headmaster of Beacon Academy, tasks the four girls to investigate the mysterious decline of Grimm activity in the Forever Fall forest.

Alongside Team CFVY, a second-year team, Team RWBY investigates Forever Fall. However, while going further, Ruby becomes separated from her friends, and encounters a bizarre creature feasting upon a Grimm. This creature attacks Ruby, who is left defenseless without her weapon at her side. Just when things seemed hopeless, a mysterious monster appears, easily defeating the creature before it. At that moment, Yang reunites with her sister. Under the impression that Ruby's savior was her attacker, she incapacitates the mysterious being.

Then, to the sisters' shock, the being reveals itself to be a young boy. Who is he? What sort of power does he possess?

Unknown to any, that day, this fateful encounter would lead to the start of a horrific, tragic tale...

Die Set Down - Taro Kobayashi

[Chorus] As the music plays, the camera shows the girls of RWBY - Ruby in front of her mother's grave, hands clasped in prayer. Weiss walking through the halls of the Schnee manner, passing by Whitley and Winter. Blake atop a tree, staring at the shatter moon of Remnant with Adam leaning against the tree. Yang driving at top speed through the streets on Bumblebee, grinning. Then, the scene shifts to Kamen Rider Amazon Neo, already transformed, his back turned to the screen before smashing his fist into the screen, creating the title card.

[We don't ask, but we were born into the world! God, we believe, if they say it's crime] Chihiro walks through the desolate streets of Vale, holding his Neo Amazons Driver in hand. Behind him, blue veins spread all across the street. When it closes up on his face, it shows his eyes glowing bright blue, and black veins spreading up to his face.

[How we feel? We must say, "must be ah deep punishment!" Oh, no no, ooh~] Ruby sits on the windowsill of her room, Crescent Rose resting against the wall. As she stares at the broken moon, the camera dives into her eyes, finding her cowering in a shed, a younger Yang protecting her with fists raised. Around them, the same blue veins spread through the shed.

[Calmness, I lost in the labyrinth. Pain and relief, my heart is so bluely] Weiss is found in a large hall, her rapier in hand as she stares down a Knight. The room flips over, showing a younger Weiss crying in a fetal position as the veins surround her.

[Crazy, I don't why many bodies surround me! They've been livin' till a while ago] Blake and Adam stand back to each other, with Blake facing the front and a forlorn expression on her face. Adam fades behind her into black, as does the rest of the world while the blue veins creep up on her body. Yang comes up from behind her, pulling her into an embrace and allowing the veins to spread to her as well.

[Oh, yeah~!] Chihiro is shown again, this time with glowing yellow before he screams, red flames consuming his body.

[Whoa~ Whoa~ Whoa~ Take your AmazonZ!] The camera shows Amazon cells being consumed, spreading into black veins that show Chihiro as Amazon Neo combating a Grimm, tearing it apart with his blade.

[Damn! We don't wanna grow to be dead all the way!] The veins expand, showing Team RWBY against an Elder Beringel. It holds a struggling Weiss in its hand before Yang smashes her fist into its jaw, dropping her and being caught by Blake.

[Whoa~ Whoa~ Whoa~ Fate must be done!] Another vein spreads out, showing another image of Chihiro, this time battling Adam Taurus, their blades clashing before parting and clashing once again.

[Set them free! Eat up the ugly desire!] The fourth vein shows Team JNPR facing two Amazons. Pyrrha and Jaune defend themselves against a Shrike while Ren and Nora dance around and attack a Crab Amazon.

[Whoa~ Whoa~ Whoa~ Take your AmazonZ!] Several veins converge, returning the screen to normal and showing Chihiro in the middle of the rain, staring at a hooded figure carrying a belt similar to his. A close up shows bloody tears falling from his face.

[We can't stop the lonely game! Answer is only one!] Team RWBY and JNPR stand in the ruins of Beacon Academy, blue veins covering the entire area. Staring them down is an unseen figure with glowing orange eyes, flames flickering in their their side is a Mole Amazon, glowering at them.

[Already the DIE SET DO~WN!] Chihiro falls into a pitch black ocean, the blue veins slowly dancing their way towards him. A light shimmers close to him, causing him to open his eyes. The final image shows Chihiro in his Amazon Neo form, cradling the body of a black-haired girl while black feathers fall around him.

Hunt I-II: AFTER THE STORM

"Ozpin, have you gone utterly mad?!"

In Beacon Academy, shortly after Team RWBY and CFVY had returned with an extra passenger in tow, the headmaster of Beacon, Ozpin himself, was finding himself on the receiving end of a fierce, mad glare of one of his staff members as well as trusted assistant. Glynda Goodwitch was a a middle-aged woman with light-blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes were bright green and she wore thin ovular glasses. She had teal hanging earrings with a small bead identical to her earrings on her collar. She wore white long-sleeved suit that exposed part of her chest, and tight puffy sleeves near the wrist before spreading back out near her hands. Her lower attire was a black business skirt with buttons running in a vertical line up the front of it and lighter black-brown stockings. She also had black boots with brown heels, and a tattered purple cape with black on the outside, decorated by a row of diamond-shaped brown beads going horizontally across it. Above this was a line of beads that appeared in an emblem of a tiara.

Ozpin himself was getting on in years, though he wouldn't consider himself old yet. He had tousled gray hair and thin brown eyes. He had a light complexion and sharp facial features, and wore shaded glass spectacles and a dark-green scarf with a small, purple, cross-shaped emblem on it. His outfit mainly consisted of an unzipped black suit over a buttoned vest and green undershirt. He also wore black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants.

"Come now, Glynda," he told the woman who was currently giving him an earful. "You're overreacting."

If at all possible, Glynda's glare intensified. Had he not known any better, he would have thought she was trying to glare him to death. "With all due respect, sir," she hissed. "This boy is dangerous!"

"Him saving Ruby's life says otherwise."

Glynda was even more infuriated by his words. She couldn't believe he was doing this. When the two teams brought back that boy and looked at their report, she was utterly horrified and immediately went to Ozpin to try and place the boy under lock down, or at least place him elsewhere. Perhaps she was overreacting, and in a disturbingly similar way to an old friend of theirs, but she was justified. Going by the reports and description of the monster that Ruby Rose had encountered, and by the belt that they had recovered from the boy's personal belongings, she already knew what sort of danger this boy posed. However, no sooner had she made her request did Ozpin deny it. She couldn't believe what he was talking about. She was starting to think he was going mad.

"Perhaps him saving Miss Rose would speak for his character," she insisted. "Him having that in his possession should tell you that he's-"

"Someone in need of guidance," Ozpin refuted, holding a hand to stop her. "Also, it is rather unfair to compare him to that man, don't you think? He's a child, the same as Ruby, and every other student here at Beacon." He paused to take a sip of his coffee, then set the mug down on the desk. "Still, at least we now know why Grimm activity has been declining in Forever Fall lately. The boy has been busy..."

Then, the man's eyes turned dark for a moment, staring at the report of one Ruby Rose. Specifically, one part of her report which was highlighted in bright green.

"...as have the Amazons."

Glynda's face turned dark as well at the mention. The Amazons, the creature that Ruby had encountered and had nearly been killed by, were a mistake that were born into the world as a result of human error. An error that they had been keeping quiet from the world, though they knew it wouldn't be long before their existence was made known. After Team RWBY and CFVY had returned, Ozpin had ordered Huntsmen he trusted, a personal task force in other words, to investigate the area. If one Amazon was found in the Forever Fall, how many were there? More importantly, how many had been slain? Just then, Ozpin saw his Scroll light up and beep, signaling the delivery of a message. Opening it, he brought it up to his face, and his eyes knit closer together.

"Ozpin?" Glynda called. "Who is it?"

"Qrow," he answered. "It seems the investigation was concluded not too long ago." There was a brief pause before he continued, as if to make his words bear some sort of heavy significance. And it did, as when he told Glynda, her eyes widened greatly. "There were twenty five remains of Amazons that were discovered in the surrounding area where Ruby encountered the Amazon...apparently, quite a few of them were fresh."

The blonde instructor could scarcely believed what she just heard. If what Ozpin said was true, then...that would have to mean the boy had to have been fighting for quite a while. It also explained the horrible condition of his clothes, as well as the fact that he had been easily incapacitated by Yang Xiao Long. No matter how powerful her strength, it was impossible to knock out the boy in a single strike, if he was anything like the man who occupied the darker part of her mind. He had to have been fighting for a long period of time. It would also explain why he looked so thin. He must not have eaten in quite a while. Sighing, she rubbed her temples. Today was certainly stressful.

"...are you sure it is safe to keep him here?" she asked for the final time. Her tone was tired, exhausted just from the revelations, stressing out over the occupation the boy had filled in at the infirmary, and her conversation with the headmaster and boss. "We have no idea who he is."

Ozpin smiled kindly. "Have ye a little faith," he told her. "Now, in the meantime, regarding James's visit in the next few months..."

It was cold, dark, dreary.

A thin mist had cloaked the area, damping his skin.

The earth beneath his body was muddy and soft, soaking up the red liquid that flowed.

The horror before him laid bare, unadulterated in full glory.

Flesh was torn, ripped to shreds and pieces and mashed in a pair of flapping fangs and jaws.

Claws held her down, covering her mouth to prevent even the slightest muffle of a scream.

Eyes stared back at him, pleading for the pain to stop.

A bloodied hand, stretching to him.

Then, the jaws opened again, teeth bloody with fleshy bits clinging to the bone, inching close to her thin neck.

And then-

"MOTHER!"

The boy flung upward, the scream tearing from his soar throat. His body was shaking, tense and unstable while a thin sheet of sweat caked his face, dripping down to the cloth over him. He panted heavily, heart ramming against his ribcage in horrid fright. In a craze, he looked around. The world around him was different than the thick forest he was in earlier before something went and knocked him unconscious, and it was certainly not the murky bog that he had dreamed of. Rather, it was a room with several white beds scattered in rows, though all were unoccupied. He looked down, seeing himself occupying one of the beds, and a white sheet covering his lower half. As he calmed down, he palmed his face, taking several deep breaths to try and cease the panicked drumming of his excited heart.

"Just a dream," he assured himself that this was reality. He dug his fingernails into his palm, as if trying to prove this. "Just...a dream."

He wished he would already be rid of the nightmares, but he knew it was wishful thinking. In a sick and twisted way, that nightmare was the only memento of his mother. Perhaps a part of him tried to latch on to it in order to try and remember her other than the few memories he had of her. Of course, his name was also another memento.

"Chihiro."

In Mistralian, it meant, thousand wings. Alongside that horrible nightmare that has been plaguing him ever since he could remember on that fateful, horrible night, it was also the only real link he had to his mother.

As he calmed himself, he took yet another look around the room. Last he recalled, he protected a girl from an Amazon, and then something knocked him out. He had gotten careless, but then again, even if had managed to remain awake after that heavy hit, he doubted he would have any strength to properly fight back. He had been in that red forest for several days, drinking from nearby streams to keep himself hydrated, but there was hardly any food to be had there. He doubted he could eat it anyway. Anytime he tried to eat something other than the protein food packs, he'd end up spitting or vomiting it out, remembering the sight of his mother being eaten alive.

On the subject of hunger, his stomach rumbled, letting out a sound akin to the growl of a Beowolf. Groaning, Chihiro rubbed his stomach. He had all but run out of packs since the day before. At this rate, the starvation was going to cripple him. The room held little of value, but he noticed his belt sitting on the stand next to him. 'At least I still have that,' he thought gratefully, grabbing the Neo Amazonz Driver. He tore off the sheets from his person before swinging his legs over the edge of the bed, stepping unto the cool floor. He noticed that he was completely barefoot, and his jacket was gone as well. Furthermore, his torn clothing were all replaced with medical scrubs; a plain white shirt and pants, and painfully thin as well as he felt a slight shiver when a small gust of chilly wind blew against him from an open window.

Wherever he was, he needed out of here. He would want to thank the people who brought him here, but if there was anything he learned while traveling across the four kingdoms, it was that one must always keep on their feet. With that in mind, he vacated the infirmary, and entered what appeared to be a grand hallway. "Where is this place?" he muttered to himself. Going by the architecture, it was definitely somewhere in civilization. He moved towards one of the large windows exposing the outside world. He peered out, and found a courtyard spreading out to what appeared to be the entrance. In the center was a statue, depicting two hooded warriors atop a rock with swords in hand, and a Grimm cowering underneath it.

Chihiro frowned. Once more, he found himself wondering where this place could be. For now, he would have to find a way out of here. With that in mind, he set himself off, also noting that he would have to get out of these damned thin clothes. They did nothing to help against the cold whatsoever. He also thought back to the silver-eyed girl he encountered back in the red forest. He wondered if she was the one who saved him, or if she had been attacked by whatever knocked him out. As he strained to remember what happened before falling unconscious, he remembered that whatever struck him said something about a sister. Perhaps it was the girl's sibling who attacked out of misconception? Sighing, he shook his head.

Now was not the time to be worrying about stuff like this.

"For the last time, Yang," Ruby grit her teeth. She felt her gums on the point of bleeding from how hard they were keeping the small bits from being shoved in or shattering from the pressure she was placing on them. "We are going to apologize, and that is final!"

Yang groaned. "Seriously?" she asked in exasperation. "Come on, Ruby! It was spur of the moment!"

"Doesn't matter! You still knocked him out!"

The two sisters had been bantering ever since they had returned from their mission, much to both the annoyance and irritation of Weiss Schnee, who trailed behind them with the blonde buxom brawler's partner. At first, it was Ruby trying to successfully convince her older and overly protective sister that the boy who she knocked out had actually saved her life. Normally, Weiss would take Yang's side of the argument, but both she and Blake had agreed that Ruby's only wound was her sprained ankle. Given that the boy looked as if he had been through hell by the wear and tear on his clothes, they were willing to bet that he had been fighting Grimm for a long time, meaning that he was most likely responsible for the decline in Grimm activity. For her part, the heiress was interested when she saw the report Ruby had submitted to the Headmaster.

'I wonder if it's new Atlas technology,' she pondered curiously. 'If what Ruby said is true, then the belt obviously created the armor...but for it to seemingly 'melt' into him...nanomachinery? No, that's still under consideration.'

The more she thought about it, the more curious she became. Blake, on the other hand, shared Yang's earlier sense of caution. She wasn't sure why, but her mind was telling her that the boy was dangerous. He smelled too much like a Grimm, but perhaps that was because he had been cutting them down for a long period of time. There was also the fact that he smelled like blood. Had he killed someone? She wasn't sure. But either way, she was willing to hold some caution when they would check on the boy.

When the four girls turned around the corner, they stopped in surprise. Walking along the corridor was the boy, holding a belt in one hand, wearing nothing but the medical scrubs that replaced the ratty clothing he wore before. "He's already up?" Yang said with large eyes. "I though the doc said he had a head injury!" The three girls gave her a slight stare, given that she was the one who caused it in the first place. She at least had the decency to look embarrassed, scratching the back of her head. The girls then looked back to the boy, who was constantly looking around, as if paranoid. This only further wanted to make Yang call out on him being a bad guy or something, but when she thought about it realistically, it was natural for someone to be confused in a place they knew nothing about. She also recalled the purpose behind their visit to see the boy and sighed. "Do I seriously gotta apologize?" she asked. "I mean, I hit him on the head, so he might not remember..."

"Yaaang," Ruby gave the blonde a glare, a cute one the older sister might add, putting her hands on her hips. She was trying, and failing, to look imposing but otherwise looked quite adorable. "You are apologizing! Now, come on!" Without another word, she grabbed Yang's wrist, and pulled her towards the boy, walking towards him. "Um, excuse me!"

Ruby's shout caused the boy to jump, whirling around on his feet. His eyes widened, seemingly recognize Ruby, much to her relief. She was worried that he might not. "Y-you...you're the girl from before, aren't you?"

"Yep!" she answered cheerfully. "I'm Ruby! Um, thanks for saving me back at Forever Fall," she bowed her head gratefully. The boy looked a bit off-put, by the gesture, as if it was foreign to him. "And this is my sister, Yang." There was a slight pause before she continued, narrowing another cute glare at the blonde buxom brawler. "..and the one who knocked you out."

Yang at least the decency to look ashamed, scratching her cheek while putting on a nervous smile. "Er, hey there...sorry about that," she said. "I thought you were hurting Ruby, and, well...yeah..."

"...it's fine," the boy said after a while. He was being rather skittish around the two, and looking ready to bolt at the first sign of danger. Ruby frowned in concern. She was hoping to make him comfortable by at least trying to get to know him, but he was obviously going to be difficult. Weiss was like that at first, but at least Ruby managed to somehow break through her cold exterior (no pun intended there). "I'm used to it. Where...am I, exactly?"

"Beacon Academy," she answered, causing the boy's eyes to widen significantly. "It's the school me and my sis attend! We brought you back here after Yang knocked you in the head..." The silver-eyed girl then trailed off, realizing something important. "Oh! That's right! H-how's your head?! Is it hurting anywhere?"

"W-what? No, it's fine." As if to prove this, he pushed his bangs aside, showing that his head was in perfect condition, much to the surprise of the girls. They would have thought it would have taken longer for his Aura to heal him, but obviously, it did not. He had to have been here for at least an hour or two. "Look, I...appreciate what you two did, but I need to get going. There's something I have to do."

Yang's eyes widened. "Excuse me?" she gaped. "Dude, no offense, but you look ready to fall apart! I mean, seriously!" She gestured to his thin frame. "You look like you haven't eaten in months!" The boy looked annoyed with her concern and tried to leave, turning on his heel to leave. "Hey! Didn't you hear what I just said?!"

Her hand reached out, grabbing the boy by the wrist. Suddenly, his body froze for a moment before he tore his arm away from her, giving her a glare that, for a moment, so primal and angry that the blonde thought she was looking at a cornered beast.

"Don't touch me!"

As soon as Yang's hand touched his wrist, Chihiro felt his instincts - his damnable instincts - flare up, causing his mouth to water and his hands to twitch. Bubbling up from within him was a hunger, far worse than the one that plagued him. A hunger of a different kind. As he turned to try and pry his arm off of her, his eyes quickly saw how meaty she was. The large thighs, the slender arms, that beautiful chest...for a moment, he thought he felt his tongue pushing its way out of his mouth to lick his lips as his mouth continued to water. His taste buds were craving for food, and he was almost forced to comply. However, he was no stranger to this affliction. He's felt it so many times before that he had managed to build up a tolerance to it, and immediately squashed those urges down.

"Don't touch me!" he shouted as he ripped his arm from her grasp. His yell had surprised and taken the two girls aback as they retreated a bit, recoiling from his outburst. He panted, pushing down the urges that had plagued him for as long as he could remember. Simply pushing it back wouldn't be enough. He had to actually try and push down to the recess of his mind, so that it wouldn't bother him. "Don't..." he panted, shaking his head. "D-don't touch me..."

Ruby looked concerned for him, looking at Yang who was surprised by this. He didn't like to be touched. Whenever someone touched him...

"Hey," he heard someone call out from behind him. He looked over his shoulder, finding four people coming up from around a nearby corner. Two boys and two girls. "Is everything okay? We kinda heard shouting."

"Oh, Jaune!"

One of the boys was a tall young man with dark-blue eyes and messy blonde hair. He wore a white chestplate and shoulder armor, and underneath the armor was a black hoodie with reddish-orange sleeves and an emblem hidden underneath the chestplate. He also had on blue pants with a white patch on the left knee, as well as sneakers with "left" and "right" written in black on the respective shoes' soles.

One of the girls had short orange hair and turquoise eyes. Her clothing was a mix and match of some sort, with different colors and themes. She wore a collared black vest that ended at her waist. Her apparent emblem, a hammer with a lightning bolt, was found on the back. Under the vest were two layers of clothing, colored red and light-blue respectively. She sported a turquoise bow at the back of her skirt. She also wore a white sleeveless top that forms a tiny heart shape between her cleavage and collarbone, with a white detached sleeve on each arm. She wore matching fingerless gloves on each hand. She sported a pink skirt that starts at the waist and ends mid-thigh. Her shoes were a mix of pink and white with pink laces, displaying her emblem on their soles. She also wore armor that began in the middle of the shoulder and neck and ends by the waist.

The second boy was a teenager with long black hair tied into a ponytail that ended midway down his back. There was a magenta streak on the left side of his hair. His eyes were pale pink, and wore a dark green, diagonally-buttoned, long-sleeved tailcoat that was red on the inside, with black and gold trimming and pink cuffs. The trimming went down the right side of his torso and formed a black collar. He also wore a black, long-sleeved shirt beneath the suit, and light-tan pants with black shoes.

The fourth and final member of the group, and second female, had vibrant red hair, tied back into a ponytail, and illustrious green eyes. She wore light-green eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her eyes. Compared to most girls, she was quite tall, and somewhat muscular going by her physique. Her top consisted of two layers. The top layer was a light-brown, strapless top split divided vertically with some bronze patterns. It seemed be leather or stiff metal, having some kind of riveting or small, round embroidery on the sides, which might have also been heavy stitching. The bottom layer was a low bronze V-neck. The girl wore an elastic, black, A-line miniskirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms, in addition to a red ankle-length drapery that appeared to be wrapped around her skirt. There was a small circular bronze plate by her right hip opposite two pouches with both connected to a belt. The plate bore a "shield and spear" emblem. She wore a bronze circlet headpiece that could be seen above her ear and under her bangs. A pair of small, green, teardrop-shaped emeralds hanged from her circlet on thin chains. She also sported a large bronze gorget around her neck, and a bronze bracelet on the upper half of her left arm. She also had elaborate bronze greaves that started below her mid-thigh, continuing downwards into her boots and a pair of cuisses that began mid-thigh and ending slightly above her knees. She also donned a bronze bracer on top of the sleeve on her left arm. She wore high-heeled boots with a brown color and bronze trim, matching her skirt and sleeves, and reached up to mid-calf.

"Hello!" the orange-haired girl grinned. "We came to play!"

"Is everything alright?" the red-haired girl asked, noticing Chihiro and his nervousness, which only increased. Dammit, why were there so many people around him now? It was only going to be harder to try and control his instincts like this. It was why he wanted to leave this place as soon as he could. Any longer, and keeping that damned urge of his was going to be next to impossible. Noticing his nervousness, the girl frowned in concern. "Are you alright?"

Chihiro opened his mouth to speak-

*gro~wl*

-only for his stomach to speak on his behalf. It gave a loud growl, loud enough for everyone to hear. His ears tinged red before he felt an aching pain, causing him to kneel and hug his stomach. 'Dammit, so hungry...' he thought in pain. The urges from earlier had caused his hunger to increase even worse now. At this rate...

"Well, that explains a lot," Yang said. "When was the last time you ate, man?"

"F-five days ago..."

"FIVE DAYS?!"

Ruby cringed, tapping her ears to ensure they were still working. Pyrrha and Yang had yelled simultaneously. Naturally, though, she was as shocked as the others. Five days?! He had gone without food for five days?! No wonder he looked so thin! She didn't even want to imagine what it would be like to be cut off from her cookie supply for five days! Just the mere thought of it was enough to send shivers down her spine. After hearing this, however, she and the others decided that it would be best if he stayed. More importantly, he needed food. He looked like he was in such pain! Besides, to her, it was a chance to pay him back for saving her earlier!

"Hey, Ren," she asked Nora's partner. "Do you think you can whip up some pancakes for him?"

Ren gave a nod. Nora, however, looked scandelized. "What?!" she gawked in utter disbelief and horror, looking at her friend as if she had just been betrayed in the most horrific way. "Renny, you're offering him pancakes, but not your bestest friend?!"

"...Nora," Ren said after a sigh. "First of all, 'bestest' is not a word. Secondly, I'll make some for you too."

The hyperactive hammer girl cheered, her depressed nature dissipating near instantly. The boy tried weakly to protest to this, but he was promptly ignored. "Come on!" Nora said, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt. "Pancakes await, comrade!"

"W-wait!" he cried as he found himself dragged away. "I said wait dammit!"

On instinct, Ruby shouted, "Swear!" before she and Team RWBY and the other three members of Team JNPR followed after the girl, heading to the kitchen area that was provided in the latter group's dorm room. It then occurred to Ruby that the boy, whose name she had completely forgotten to ask about, had virtually no clothes since the nurse, after discovering that he wore practically nothing but rags, tossed them and burned them in the incinerator. She then looked to the other male member, and leader, of JNPR. "Jaune, would it be okay if he borrows some of your clothes?"

"Sure," he said, much to her gratitude. "I don't mind...but who is he? Is that the guy that the school's been fussing about? I heard he got clocked out by Yang."

In response to this, Yang groaned once more. "I am never going to live that down, am I?"

Her only response was laughter, making her sulk. Regardless, they continued on, with promise of food and clothes for the poor boy.

Cardin was having a really bad day.

Ever since this morning, he's been getting nothing but trouble. First, he ended up spilling his morning coffee to get him up and working properly and ended up with a small burn. Even worse, it was on his lap. Secondly, it turned out that his teammates, the ungrateful bastards, had used up all of the hot water, leaving him with nothing but a cold shower. Then he found out that Jauney Boy's friend, that silver-eyed brat who was two-years ahead of her friends back at Signal, were going on a mission with a senior team. Naturally, he was pissed that his team wasn't given the opportunity. They've been working their butts off to be recognized by anyone else, and yet somehow, they went on a mission with the second-years? It was complete and utter bull. Of course, his sour mood also affected his performance in class, which left him getting detention. AGAIN. Even worse and more infuriating, Jauney Boy ended up getting a higher score on the test than he did, a damn near perfect mark. He would have picked on the kid, but he remembered what the blonde knight had done for them back at Forever Fall when he tried to get back at Pyrrha Nikos for showing him up in Oobleck's class way back when. As much as he hated to say it, he owed Jaune, so picking on him was out of the question.

Suffice to say, he's been livid all day. Russel seemed to know it, as he hung back, looking somewhat nervous. "H-hey, Cardin," he tried to calm him down. "Ease up. If you stay angry, you're gonna get wrinkles." Cardin shut him up with a glare, which earned a startled yelp, and promptly backed off. Huffing, the brute continued to trudge down the halls. Dammit, this was so frustrating. Why was his day so goddamn shitty?! Gods, he wished he could just pummel something! Maybe a Grimm, or some poor bastard in training! Didn't matter!

When he reached the corridor leading close to the stairs for the second-years living quarters, he found a good outlet. A cruel smirk formed on his face, already zeroing in on the poor, unsuspecting victim of abuse.

The Faunus, Velvet Scarlatina.

"Hey, Freak," he jeered, causing the girl to yelp and stare back, cowering. "Mind if we talk...?"

NEXT TARGET

"So, you can only drink protein food packs?"

"I know it...the one who ate mother...wasn't me!"

"You're gonna regret that, you brat!"

"...Amazon."

"Hunt II: BEAST UNLEASHED"

...aaaaaand there ends the second-half of the first hunt! Whew~ Thought this would never be done.

Well, I'm sure I haven't made any introductions yet, so let me properly welcome you to "Die Set Down," a crossover story of Kamen Rider Amazons, specifically Season 2, and RWBY! When I first started Kamen Rider, which began with Ghost, I was goddamn amazed, and wanted to write a good Kamen Rider fanfic. Then, as I watched Amazons, I decided that this would be where I start, namely due to the fact that Amazons is darker and more mature than other entries in the franchise. Also, I wanted to try something new than what other writers do; namely, use canon Riders instead of OC's, self-inserts, or a character from another series becoming a Rider.

Speaking personally, I absolutely LOVE Chihiro. He's such a good character, despite his cringeworthy Shinji Ikari moments. And I hope to god he survives the finale! After the shit he's gone through, he deserves a happy ending!

Anyway, as you could probably by the tags and rating, this story is...gonna be fucking dark. Right now, since we're getting started, it won't be Amazons level...but when we get into later parts...*sucks in breath* ...yeeeaaah.

Also, in case anyone is wondering, this starts just before the events of "The Stray," so this is in Volume 1 and before Team RWBY discovers Blake is a Faunus.

That's it for now, everyone! Please review and tell me what you all thought of this chapter! I will see you on the next hunt!
