Kamen Rider Forge Remnant
Craft 4: Arrival Part 4
We are Taiso… Beacon Academy
I plop my head on the desk, as I let out a tired groan. I love my weapons, and I made quick friends with a few weapon nuts like me. Picking my head up I turn around to the weapon racks and the mountain of repairs and orders for new equipment not in stock… I face plant my head back into the desk. But man~... This was a lot less fulfilling as I thought… A hand is placed on my shoulder as I look over to Paul.
Paul:(hands bottle of water) Good work for handling all of this by yourself. I'm amazed by your ability to focus. Considering your file, and the call I got from Artoria about your… Interest in weapons.
Taiso:(groans) I wanted to… But so quick into cataloging, I found myself wanting to get it over with!
Paul:(smiles) Haha. Still, good job. Come, let's give you the orientation.
Taiso:(slowly picks self up) O-Okay.
We are Observers…
A hooded man with a dagger in his hand walks through a forest. The man twirling the blade. Approaching a cave 10 eyes glow in the dark of the cave. A large Scorpion Grimm slowly comes out of the cave, approaching the hooded man. The Scorpion doesn't attack simply presents it's head to the man. He brings up his dagger in one hand and a mold in the other, the man puts the mold into a slot on the blade and softly stabs the Scorpion. The Scorpion begins to shudder and shake the tail's tip, breaks off and drops to the ground breaking through the main body. The Scorpion lies on the ground, the body dissipating into nothing. Leaving only the head.
Man: Kelomefongro… Kelomefongro… Kelomefongro… Kelomefongro!
The Scorpion head cracks and opens like an egg. Out rises a humanoid Grimm armed with guns. "Kelomefongro… Mefuna, Grimm Ravage Stalker!" The man exclaims as the Ravage Stalker screams into the sky. The Man then points to a large tower in the distance. "Meiro Funo Amar Forge." The man said, clenching his fist.
The Ravage Stalker is an armored humanoid with a large tail protruding from the back of the waist. It's body is black with white armor carapace all across the body. The head is shaped just like the Deathstalkers head, with 10 eyes across the head with red outline markings. The body is a basic body armor with red outline markings. No armor on the shoulders but the arm parts are large snipers that can open further to reveal guns underneath. The tail has armor running down the tail with the yellow tip now having a large barrel poking out of the tip. The waist is extended out with a set of 8 legs, 4 on each side.

I let out a long sigh as I looked up into the night sky. "What a day..." I muttered under my breath as I stared at the stars. The forge is amazing and the staff are pretty welcoming… But man, the boss's critiques are serious. Boss liked my melee weapons but said I had a lot of work to do with my ranged weapons. I glanced down at the pistol I had brought. There were so many flaws… I let out a sigh and a shrug. "He isn't the Forge Master for nothing…" I muttered. *Vurr~* Reaching into my pocket I take out my scroll and see who's calling. Master. I answer by putting the scroll up to my ear. "Hey, Master." I said over the call.
Master: Hey, how are you? Today must have been pretty tiring.
Taiso:(grains) Like you wouldn't believe Master.
Master: I bet. But hey that's what you get for not listening to me and writing down instructions how to get to the docks.
Taiso:(sighs) Leave me alone. I've been hit with the reality of how easily I can get lost so… I'll work on it.
Master: You know the only reason why that is, is because you don't go out enough, you're too unfamiliar with the roads.
"Yeah yeah." I said rubbing my eyes. I let out a small chuckle as I brought my sight from the sky down to the Academy. "But everyone seems welcoming… Relatively. Had good first impressions tho, Never thought Kamen Rider Arthur would greet me." I said remembering Artoria. "Ah, and how was she?" Master asks. "She was a-" I stop when I see an unfamiliar figure walking towards the campus. Who the hell? I stand up and look closer. "What wrong?" Master asks, I stay silent and continue to watch, when I see stepping under the light of a lamppost I see what it is. "Cast Grimm." I mutter.
Master: So they are in Vale too…
Taiso:(goes to backpack) Yeah, have any appeared back home?(puts away pistol) Are you in any danger?
Master: No, they have all seemed to have stopped… Or in more likelihood.
Taiso:(takes out case) They are following me. But why? Why follow me?
Master: Whoever is responsible, they are likely trying to keep tabs on you. The other Riders are basically celebrities. It's easier to know their general locations at all times. But you… You're the wild card here.
Opening my medium sized briefcase, I take out my Forge Driver and the Blade Mold. "All the more reason to try and keep it that way." I said stepping out ready to go.
The belt has the design of a forge, with an opening on the top right goes down to the center of the forge. At the center is a place for a mold that connects to the opening, at the bottom of the belt is a small pull switch that moves the forge. Left of the forge is a hammer lever that could be removed.
The Mold has the design of a twin blade on it, the mold is red with red colored glass over a button at the entrance of the mold.
I strap the belt on my waist as the belt straps fling around my waist and connect together before tightening. I grab the pull switch and pull it back, tilting the Forge. The opening opens revealing a slot and a rail to hold the mold. Bringing up my right hand with the mold in hand. I press down on the top of mold. "Blade!" A bombastic male voice exclaims. I insert the mold into the belt and it slides into position. "Granted! Blade Forge!" The voice exclaims again. A ring appears under me, the ground inside the ring turns dark before flames raise up from the ring. I grab the hammer and bring it down while exclaiming. "Henshin!" I bring the hammer down. "Mold Creation!" The voice shouts, the flames cover me entirely and entangles itself around my body. A series of blades launch out of the flames and sora around before entering back into the fire and landing on me. The blades form into armor materialising into place as the heat blasts off revealing the complete suit of armor except the helmet. The final blade flies down right in front of my face before coming closer forming the helmet and completing the look. "The Honed Edge Bevel! Blade-Rider-Forge!" The announcer exclaims, the armor completes as steam blasts out of the pores in the suit.
Forge:(brings up scroll) Sorry Master, I gotta go.
Master: Do what you have to do. Call me back when you're done and we can pick up where we left off. But otherwise go get them.
Forge:(nods) Got it… *Inhale~* *Exhale* I am the Heart of my sword.
Opening the palm of my hand, the right hand gauntlet lights up as a blade handle deploys out of the palm of my hand. I take the blade and pull out the blade. I start after the Cast Grimm, who is heading towards the student dorms.
We are Artoria
I place down my sleeping bag for the night, I look up and take in a scan of the room to see all the different types of students that I will be with for the next 4 years. I feel a well of excitement in my chest as I am struggling to keep myself from smiling. I've seen this so many times in the past and now I am the one here… I can't help but feel so excited!
?: Awfully distant from everyone else aren't we?
Artoria: Hmm?(turns around) Oh, Leo. Greetings.
Leo:(looks around) It's odd that everyone else seems to keep their distance from you.
Artoria: No, not that… Rather just decided to keep my distance.
Leo: I see...(looks around the room) I was not sure of what to expect of the student body.
Artoria: It's quite varied this year. I'm seeing more Fanus than years prior. It's good to see more Fanus joining our ranks.
Leo crosses arms looking at the Fanus. "I suppose." Leo said. "Is something the matter with more Fanus joining us?" I ask Leo, he shrugs. "No, I have no problem with more people fighting the Grimm… I just have… Hang ups when it comes to them." Leo said. I see... "Well at least put aside prejudices right? It's our duty to fight for the people" I ask Leo nods and turns away. "I can do that much. Hmm?..." Leo said walking away. "Where are you going?" I ask. "A friend looks like she needs some help." Leo said walking off. "Ah… Sure." I said turning back to the room…
Artoria:(in thought) What now?... I don't have anyone to talk to… I really shouldn't have left myself standing in this corner… Everyone seems to be in their groups already, I could just walk up to one and talk to them… Yeah~ Maybe not… It's better that I talk to someone I know, I already spoke to Leo, so… How about Weiss? Yeah maybe not. I haven't seen her here, so she's probably gone somewhere else for the night so that's off the table… How about Shizuka? Hmm… No it's just non stop plans with her. Not really a great topic to talk about… How about Alborz? No, he would just give me sarcastic remarks to turn away from the conversation. How about the Rose sisters?... They seem preoccupied with Blake… So that leaves… Taiso, but I don't want to be a bother… Oh forget it! I need some air.
I walk to the entrance and exit the building.
We are Taiso
Chasing after the Cast Grimm I follow it into the main courtyard. The Cast Grimm scans the yard looking around for someone. What is it looking for?... Me maybe? If whoever is sending these Cast Grimm after me are following me, why are they after me? The Grimm spots something as it moves towards it. What… Who is it? I step out of my cover to get a better look at what it's looking at.
Artoria:(looking down at Scroll) Ah~ I knew I should have asked him for his number… Maybe that would have-
Cast Grimm:(steps out) *Roar!*
Artoria:(looks up) What the? A Grimm?!... W-Wait… A new kind?
Cast Grimm: Earmor… Arthur...*Roar!*
"It… Recognises me and… it speaks?" Artoria asks in total confusion. The Cast Grimm puts out it's left claw, it opens revealing barrels. It extends out ready to fire. Not on my watch! I put out my hand and I fire off several daggers from my hand, knocking the Grimm's arm to the side. The Grimm shoots but misses Artoria, she and the Grimm turn towards my direction. Dramatic Entrance… Dramatic Entrance. I slowly step out of the darkness to meet Grimm face to face.
Forge: Don't you dare lay a hand on her.
Artoria:(shocked) A… Kamen Rider? How can that be?
Grimm:(snarls) Forge… Karmaroa~!
I bring up my blade for the fight. Here we go! I swing my blade to the side as I charge at the Cast Grimm. The Grimm roars as it charges at me.
