Kamen Rider Forge Remnant
Craft 13: Main Event
We are Forge
Forge:(sweatdrop) Well now…(looks at Yagyu) Maybe it would have been better that I was cut down by you, huh?
Yagyu:(draws blade) Perhaps… But it seems my… Short-sightedness has nearly landed us in hot water with fewer allies. Our chances are improving.
Shahryar:(looks at Yagyu) Really? Maybe we should just let you have your Mega Period again and scare them off, why don't you!
Arthur:(readies blade) Enough you three! Everyone form up! We hold our position!
Shahryar:(looking around) Not exactly the best spot, chief!
Arthur stands tall with her blade and shield at the ready. Raising her blade high to the sky, everyone starts to rally behind her imposing figure. "We must hold fast!" Arthur proclaims, putting the tip of her blade into the ground and resting both hands atop them. "Oh, please do hold, I have one last thing to show you all." The Hooded man said, taking out a dagger twirling it in his hand before solidly grabbing the blade. What is...? "Oh? Curious are we?" The Hooded man asks, opening the palm of his hand I get a good look on the weapon.
The dagger grip is 4in and 3cm long, with a trigger next to the guard. The Guard is 4in long and 3in wide and has a slot holder for a mold connected to the trigger that's on a tilted angle forming a wide edge triangle at the point where the guard meets the blade is a Grimm Skull of a Dragon. The blade itself is 6in 7cm long with the inner blade having a silver outer frame, with a red-blood like vein running through the center. The edge of the blade is black with veins of red all though the blade like a maze of veins.
The Hooded man grips the blade, then with his other hand, he takes out two molds. "Here's when the fun begins." The man said as he activates one of the molds. "Gauntlet!" The mold exclaims, inserted into the dagger, the hooded man gestures the Beringel over. The man stabs the dagger's edge straight into the Beringel's chest. The mold heats up and melts into the weapon. The Dragon's eyes flash red as the red parts of the blade glow as it filters into the Gorilla.
Hooded man: Kelomefongro… Kelomefrongro… Kelomefrongro… Kelomefrongro…! Mefuna, Grimm Beringel Smasher!
The Gorilla scrunches up as silk like string wraps around the Grimm, each white strand covers the Beringel like a spider web until it becomes a cocoon, in a matter of seconds the silk begins to harden, changing color from a pure white to a porcelain white. The Cocoon begins to crack and breaks apart revealing a Cast Grimm that rises up from its shell.
The Ravage Smasher Grimm is based around the gauntlet weapon. The helmet is based after a fantasy helmet, with only one eye socket, with a red eye beaming out of the soket. Chest armor is made of individual pieces layered on top of the body, two large breastplates with a series of smaller plates across the gut. The thigh consists of similar layered plate armor, with the leg being solid metal boots. Shoulder armor is a simple arounded armor, but under the arm are layered plates of armor going up to the gauntlets, the gauntlets are solid fists.
Hooded Man:(turns to Forge) Surprise.
Forge:(awe) So that's the full process?(steps back) Christ, I didn't need to know there was a chant!
Leo:(Steps out) Just who are you?! Why do you side with the Grimm?
Hooded man:(gestures attack) Wouldn't you like to know?
The Ravage Smasher raises up and throws a punch. It's arms extend out like an accordion, with the gaps between the armor showing the red stretchy muscle underneath. The fist flies straight at me, I raise up my arms, the fist hits my arms, it's impact knocks me back, something falls out and tumbles to the ground. "Ah, there are the molds I was missing." The Hooded man said, as I look up to see his hand extend out almost as if it was a snake to pick up what I have dropped. Looking at what he has taken I see the Gun and Whip mold. "Shit! The molds!" I exclaim, reaching out but not being able to catch it as the Hooded man pulls it back to him.
Hooded man: Thank you.(pockets whip mold) I'll save you for later... And now… Two more surprises.
Jaune:(steps back) There's more?!
Hooded man:(waves the gun mold) Kekek, oh. Much more. Observe…
The Hooded man brings the mold close to his mouth. "Please don't tell me he plans-" I mutter, as the man begins to drool dark spit the covers the mold. Every crack, edge, and crevast of the mold is covered in the pitch black drool. "Eeewwww~!" Me, Yang, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Jaune, Pyrrah, Nora, Ren, and Shahryar all said at the same time. The man clenches his hand as a bright red flame engulfs his hand. "Pyrrah!" Leo shouts as he and Pyrrah ready their guns and fire at the man. Only for the Deathstalker to put it's large claw to block the rounds. "Rifle!" Lowering the claw, we see the Hooded man jam the blade now with the Gun mold into the Deathstalker. The Deathstalker shudders and it's body breaks down leaving it's head behind, before it begins to crack open.
Hooded man:(mold absorbed into Grimm) Kelomefongro… Kelomefongro… Kelomefongro… Kelomefongro! Kelomefongro…(Grimm transforms) Mefuna, Grimm Ravage Stalker!
Arthur:(shocked) That's?! The same Cast Grimm as last night!
Forge:(clenches hand) Well that explains why I've seen so many of the same kind of Cast Grimm! Same mold paired with the same Grimm results in the same type of Cast Grimm.
Shahryar:(Tch!) So a way to mass produce the same time of Cast Grimm over and over again so long as he has that Mold?
Forge:(nods) Yeah and from the looks of it.(glances at Nevermore) Up next is the Nevermore!
Hooded man:(clapps) Give an award for deduction to the Blacksmith! You are Correct!
Rasing the last mold, the man activates it. "Wakizashi!" Inserting the mold into the Dagger, the man steps over to the Nevermore. It brings it's head down so that the man can reach its head. The Hooded man stabs the dagger into the head of the Nevermore. "Kelomefongro… Kelomefongro… Kelomefongro… Kelomefongro!" The man chants, just like the Death Stalker, it's body turns to dust leaving only the white skull of the Nevermore behind, the skull cracks and breaks open, revealing a new Cast Grimm.
Hooded Man:(pulls dagger out) Kelomefongro…(steps back) Mefuna, Grimm Ravage Zashi!
The Ravage Zashi is based on the Wakizashi. The helmet is less a helmet than a skull mask of the Nevermore with leather straps covering the entire back of the head. It's body armor is made up of feathery like plates compressed into body armor and wrapped up with strips of leather. The Shoulders are white round plates with soft body armor underneath, the gauntlet has a soft underside and bone white armor on the outside and on the back of the hands. The waist and thighs have similar feathry armor, with the legs being bone white, the feet are not regular feet but rather clawed feet, with 2 outer claws and 1 pointing back. Finally the wings are like bones with Wakizashi blades strapped on.
Nora: Ooooh~ Pointy!
Arthur:(backs up) This… Is bad. I don't think we can take them all.
Shahryar:(scoffs) You think?! I must remind everyone this isn't the best position for us!
Hooded man:(smirks) Oh, but here is where I toss in a curve ball! Feel free to take the relics and go.
Everyone:(tumbleweed blows past)... Whaaat~!?
Yagyu:(sweatdrop) And I thought this day couldn't get any weirder.
Leo:(points spear at Hooded man) What warrior leaves their enemies to escape willingly! Is this some kind of trick?
Hooded man:(chuckles) Oh no, I'm not tricking you. I am… How do you people put it?... "Putting my cards on display?" Yes, I think that's right. We'll meet you at the Cliff face. It's the only other way out of this place, so we'll wait for you there. I'm letting you get your bearings and get your hopes up.(multiple voices begin laughing) It will make it fun when I watch you all be torn apart like the Meatbags you are.
The Grimm begin to move back into the shadows of the forests. The Cast Grimm begin laughing like the Hooded man as they disappear into the shadows. "Heh, oh great. We're dead." Jaune said as he began to panic kneeling down and wrapping his arms over the back of his head. "We're all gonna die here!" Jaune shouts. That possibility is high… I've never taken on more than one before…Still. Clenching my fist, I turn right and slam my fist into the ground, a shield bridge going all the way to the top of the cliff face. "H-Huh?" Jaune mutters looking at the bridge.
Forge:(switches mold) Feel free to take that bridge and escape. It will be a bit of a hike but you should be able to make it back to the Academy relatively safe.
Jaune:(stands up) Oh, thank Fortuna!
Yagyu:(looks at Forge) And what are you planning? You intend to use us a bait to draw off the Grimm as you escape?
The attention quickly turns to me. "What?" Weiss exclaims, I shrug as I materialise a blade from my palm. "The opposite actually. I'll be the bait while you escape, I'll cause as much chaos as possible to draw the Grimm away." I explain my plan to everyone. Turning around to face everyone face to face, I bow to them. "Good luck with becoming the Best Hunters and Huntresses." I said, turning back towards the forest and I take my first steps towards the tree line. "Please stop." Arthur said, I pause and turn back.
Arthur:(steps towards Forge) You intend to take them on all alone? You know you will die right?
Forge:(looks at Arthur) I'm aware of the odds, I'm willing to gamble my life for others. Is that now what a Kamen Rider does?
Arthur:(nods) As do Hunters and Huntresses.(sticks tip of blade into ground) You have my blade. Not to mention you saved me, the Pendragons always pay their debts.
Leonidas:(walks over) You certainly have the spirit. I have yet to see if you deserve the title but… I do not like the idea of a warrior of any kind dying alone.(nods) You have my spear.
Forge: I… Thank you…(turns to Yagyu) I guess I should assume you'll take the bridge out of here?
Yagyu:(looks at Forge) Bold of you to assume I'd ever take help from a Faker like you.
Yagyu swings around slicing the bridge, destroying my shield bridge. "If anyone is going to see you die, it's me." Yagyu said walking past me. "Noo~! The Bridge!" Jaune shouts. "I get that but… Did you have to break the bridge?" I asked Yagyu to look at the bridge. "..." Yagyu goes completely silent, Shahryar facepalms with an audible sigh.
Shahryar:(looks at Yagyu) How can you simultaneously be the most strategic out of all of us but also be the most hardheaded? You've pretty much forced all of us to go along with you.
Ruby:(shrugs) I mean… we still really don't have too.
Weiss:(looks at Yagyu) She's right, no point in dilly dallying here.(points at relics) Our objective is right in front of us.
Ruby:(nods to Weiss) She's right, our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs.(looks at Forge) We still have to get back to the cliffs so we're going to face those Grimm either way. But we still don't have to face these things.
Jaune: Run and Live? That is an Idea I can get behind.
Everyone reloads, grabs their relics, and has one last talk amongst them. Jaune walks over to me and leans over to me. "You think you can make that bridge again?" Jaune whispers to me, glancing over to Yagyu who silently glares at me. "Even if I did, she'd probably drag you with us… Sorry." I apologise to Jaune, who whimpers and walks away. Glancing back into the forest I take a deep breath, holding it for a few seconds, then exhaling. "I am the heart of my Sword…" I muttered, the others walked past me and into the forest, I clenched my wristband feeling the cold steel and the dust gem. Looking into the dark forest, I take my first steps into the forest back towards the Cliff face.
