Kamen Rider Forge Remnant

Craft 5: Kamen Rider Forge

We are Taiso… Beacon Academy

Forge: Don't you dare lay a hand on her.

Artoria:(shocked) A… Kamen Rider? How can that be?

Grimm:(snarls) Forge… Karmaroa~!

Forge:(enters ready position) 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, but the Grimm changes direction turning and running to the right opening fire on me. Shifting my weight back on my heels slowed down. The Grimm raises its arms as the barrels light up. Raising my fist to the air, I punch the ground, my bracelet unlocking as a large blade rises up from the ground to deflect the rounds.

Artoria:... Ah.(takes out scroll) Proxy? Are you there? I need my belt now… I don't have time to explain! Just hurry here as fast as you can!

Forge:(looks back) Art-Arthur, get to cover till you can get your belt.

Artoria:(nods) Okay…

Artoria moves back into cover. I move back pressing my back foot down as I build up energy. I place my right hand on the butt of the blade handle, the grip extends into a two handed blade. More metal begins growing out of the blade forming a new larger blade from the old blade. I bring the blade up and swing it out to the side, as constant bullet barrage begins to crack the steel. Running out from the left of my cover I rush at the Cast Grimm. The Grimm points it's pincers as it opens fire on me. The Bullets bounce off the massive blade that is large enough to block rounds. Coming close, I turn the sword to it's bladed side as I swing in a circle. The Cast Grimm jumps back to dodge, bringing my arms overhead I swing down my blade missing and crushing the ground under the blade.

Cast Grimm: Funo toat demor!

Forge:(tilts head) What?

The Cast Grimm Roars as it's tail rises above its head. The orange tip opens revealing a large barrel.

Forge: ...Really?

The tail fires off a large round at me. Swinging my blade it cuts the round in tow as it flies past me smashing into the ground. The Tail fires at me again, raising my blade up, I swing down again slicing another large round. Charging forwards I spin and toss my blade at the Grimm. The Grimm catches it with it's pincers and proceeds to snap the blade in two. Coming in close, I jump up and a blade protrudes out of my left foot launching me up over the Grimm as I land on it's waist. Quickly producing a blade blocking the stinger that thrusts towards me. Pushing the stinger to the side, I grab the stinger and stab my blade though the stinger. I extend the blade cutting through the body and into the ground. Focusing more energy into the blade the blade's tip protrudes more blades locking the body down. Jumping off the Grimm I land right in front of it. Forging a dagger I jam it into the left shoulder dislocating it, then quickly produce a second dagger and jam it into the right shoulder dislocating it too. Stepping back to look at my work. The Grimm howls and screeches at me.

Forge: No point dragging this out any longer.(reaches down to belt) Let's end this.

Cast Grimm: Forge~!

I grab the hammer and bring it down. "Hammer Fall!" The belt shouts as I stomp my left foot on the ground. I charge at the Grimm jumping up into the air. "Ha~!" I shout as my foot slams into the Grimm. The Grimm pauses, before blades begin protruding out all over its body. I jump off the Grimm and back on the ground. The Grimm collapses onto the ground, I walk over to the Grimm to see a mold in the Grimm's head. So that's where the mold was jammed into. Reaching out I grab the mold and tear it out of the Grimms head. The mold is in the shape of a gun. So a gun mold huh? Artoria steps out and walks over to me. Guess I'll leave Re-forging to later. I put away the mold as I turn to meet Artroia.

Artoria: What was that?(looks down at Grimm) Where did it come from?

Forge:(looks at Grimm) It's called a Cast Grimm. As far as I can tell. It's some kind of mutation.

Artoria:(looks at Forge) And what did you just pull from its body?

Forge: ...(takes out mold) It's a Mold. Ones we Riders use to Transform as I'm sure you know. From what I can tell they are jammed into the Grimm to transform them.

We glance back at the Cast Grimm's body to see it breaking down. Out from the remains comes a small Death Stalker. I put my foot out and crushed the Stalker under my boot . "After they are defeated. You often will have smaller, weaker Grimm come from the remains." I said turning to walk away, pocketing the Gun mold. "Hold on!" Artoria shouts I pause.

Artoria: That Grimm… It spoke but… I couldn't understand anything… Except one word. Forge. Is… Is that your name?

Forge:(turns around) Yes. I am Kamen Rider Forge.

Artoria: Kamen Rider… Forge.

A quiet silence grows between us as the wind blows… "*Sniff.*" The wind picks up again, as a small tumbleweed tumbles past. Artoria's face is filled with confusion, she glances at the ground, then back to me, then does it again, and again, and again... Holy FUCK this is awkward! I need to get out of here fast! "*Ahem* M-May I leave?" I ask pointing away. "Wha- N-No! I have so many questions!" Artoria exclaimed, she started to walk towards me. I need to get out of here fast! Just then a figure approaches from behind. "My lady! Apologies for the delay!" The Robot in a butler outfit exclaims running over with Arthur's belt. Now's my chance!

Forge:(turns) Secret Technique…(inhale~) RUN AWAY~!

Artoria:(looks back) Huh? Wait! Where are you going?!

We are Artoria

I watch as I see Forge run away into the darkness and fade out of view.

Artoria: What just… I… Wha… Did he… Wha?

Proxy: My Lady? Who was that?

Raising my hand, I grab my belt and hold it close. "Another Kamen Rider… I think?" I mumble. "Shall I call for Miss Goodwitch. She must be made aware of this." Proxy asks, leaning to me. I lower my head and bring it back up. "Very Good my lady. We should be off then?" Proxy asks.

Artoria:(looks at Proxy) What? Ah… No.. Actually. I… I need to go after that Rider. I have far too many questions that need answers.

Proxy:(bows) Very well my Lady, I will make the report. Please be safe

"Right!" I shout running in the direction Forge ran off towards. There are only supposed to be 4 Riders. Not 5… But, that armor… It has to be! Could it be on the ancients? No that couldn't be. My eyes glance back down at the belt in my hand. Slowing down, I take a better look at my belt under the light. The Pendragon Family symbol on the belt, clean and pristine.

Artoria: Only 4 Riders are known to exist after Humanity's stand… But… Was that wrong? Are the other 5 still alive? In some capacity? What was that Grimm? Are there more?... Too many questions I need to ask…(looks up) Where did you go, Forge?(starts running)

We are Taiso

Removing my mold from my belt the armor burns up and fades away. I take off my belt and put away the molds and belt back into their case. Time to hide it. Zipping up my backpack I sit back down and let out a long sigh. I think I am in the clear. I looked around to check if I'm in the clear. When I notice a face peeking around the corner to see Artoria.

Taiso:(leaning to the right) A-Artoria? What are you doing there?

Artoria:(turns to Taiso) Taiso! Have you seen anyone in armor run past here at all?

Taiso: Uh… N-No.(looks around) I don't think I have… I've just got off the phone with a friend.

Artoria: Oh… I see.(mumbles something)

I lean forwards trying to hear what she's mumbling. "Something up?" I ask. Artoria pauses as she collects her thoughts. She walks over to me, and glances down at me. "..." Artoria stares at me. Is she waiting on something? "May I sit down?" She asks, I look down at my sitting, I'm on the far right and no space for her. "Oh sorry! I'll move my backpack." I said moving my backpack to make room for the two of us. I scoot to the side and make space for Artoria.

Artoria:(sits down) Thank you...(looks at Taiso) Hey… If you… Saw something that challenged everything you thought you knew… What would you do?

Taiso:(head slowly turns.) to look at Artoria) Where… Is this coming from? That's the second time today you asked me an odd question like this. First with Fanus now this.

Artoria:(cold look) Please just answer the question.

"Okay, Okay." I said, beginning to ponder my answer. How do I answer this? Did my appearance really shake her that much? "Well… I guess I would take that as a challenge to learn." I answered. Artroria thinks on the answer I gave. "Well that's… An interesting way of looking at it." She said… The silence grows between us as there is nothing else to talk about. You know, I wouldn't mind her interrogating me more so I wouldn't have to deal with this awkwardness!... Just then a scroll vibrates. "Oh, my scroll." Artoria said, taking out her scroll.

Artoria:(answers.) Yes… Miss Glenda?... No, of course. Tell her I will be on the way… Yes, right… I'm on my way.(ends call) Sorry Taiso, I have to go. Miss Glenda has asked for my presence on a matter.

Taiso: Are you… In trouble?

Artoria:(shakes head) No, she just needs my report on something that happened not too long ago.(runs off ) Let's talk again tomorrow!

Taiso:(waves) O-Okay! Bye~!...(sighs) What kind of Can of worms have I just opened?

Headmasters office… We are Observer

A steaming cup of coco sits on a glass desk, it sits next to a holographic screen that has a video of Taiso letting out a sigh. "I really need a better escape." Taiso said, picking up his bags and walking off.

A finger taps a button on the desk rewinding the footage back to Taiso in the Forge Armor. The man taps his finger as the footage rewinds. The footage pauses on Forge. A hand reaches down picking up the cup of coffee bringing up a man with white hair and glasses.

?:(sets down cup) So… The Fifth Rider joins our ranks.

?:(pushes glasses) Do you believe he will be an asset? The other 5 have gone off the radar.

?: I don't know yet. But I can be certain that he has no allegiance to either side. Besides don't you have to meet with Artoria, Glenda?

Glenda:(walks off) Right, I still need to fix the damage in the courtyard… These kids are destroying everything. I leave what to do with Forge to you Ozpin.

Ozpin: Yes… Much to consider.

Ozpin is like a middle-aged man with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes, he has a light complexion and sharp facial features. He wears shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants. As well as a long steel cane.

Glynda appears to be a middle-aged woman that has very light-blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are bright green and she wears thin ovular glasses. She has dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendant on her collar. She wears a white long-sleeved, pleated top that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flare in pleats at the wrist. Her lower body is covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and black-brown stockings. She wears black boots with bronze heels and a cape that is purple inside and black on the outside. The cut of the cape is stylized to end in flames and arrows, with a row of diamond-shaped bronze beads on the back. Above this line of beads appears an emblem of a tiara that is her personal symbol.

Glynda enters the elevator leaving the office. As the door closes, silence fills the room. The only sound being the turning gears of the clockwork office. Ozpin reaches for his Cocoa and brings it up to his lips. As he sips his eyes look back at Forge. Putting down his cup he reaches to a small case sitting on the right side of the table. Grabbing it, he opens it and reaches inside, taking out a mold.

Ozpin:(looks at mold) You will be needed very soon…(places down) Today is the start of something bigger...

Elsewhere…

The hooded man sits on a park bench as he looks up at Beacon. His blank expression as he looks up at the shining tower. The man leans forwards bringing his vision back down to the bustling town center he sits in. Digging into his pocket the man finds nothing. "Hmm… I need to… Restock." The hooded man then stops a drunk man next to another bench. The hooded man stands up walking towards the man.

Drunk man:(looks at hooded man) H-Hey! *Burp!* You there!(offers drink) Y-You wanna-Wanna drink?

Hooded man:(walks over) I'm afraid I must pass.(brings hand up) And besides.

The Hooded man stands up putting one arm on the drunken man's shoulder. "You're drunk sir." The man said quickly opens his palm, dark matter begins oozing out of his palm and forming a dagger. The Man can only widen his eyes as the dagger enters his chest and into his heart. The Hooded man then puts a blank mold into the blade. The Drunk man with his mouth gape turns pale, his grip on the bottle slips and falls out. A black tentacle catches the bottle before it hits the ground, pulling it under the shadow of the hooded man's hood. The hooded man pulls the dagger out and hides it away. Zipping up the drunk man's jacket the Hooded man places him down on the seat he just sat on.

Hooded man:(walks off) You should rest… Human.

As he walks off, the drunk man's buddies come over. "Hey man, you… You okay?" One of the men asks, before the body slumps over. "H-Hey!" The hooded man silently walks away as everyone's vision is trained on the dead man. A grin forms on his face as blood red Grimm eyes of different types widen with the smile. They all quickly fade away as a New Mold is made from the body of Man...
