Chapter 9: Infant Care and Chaos
[Vale - Midnight]
It was the dark of the night, where only the few would walk its streets around this time. The shattered moon was seen in the starry night sky, reflected in a small puddle. But that puddle was disturbed, as a woman's foot splashed it. This woman, with a bit of blood upon her dress and a cut on her cheek, was carrying a small bundle in her arms and running as if a Grimm was chasing her.
"There she is! Get her!" A voice cried out.
The woman gasped and ran into a crowd, hoping to avoid whoever is chasing her. She quickly looked at her bundle and then around to make sure she wasn't followed.
She then dove into another alleyway and looked around for a safe place. When she found a perfect spot, she placed the bundle in that place. The woman suffered a few more precious seconds to place a loving hand on the bundle before she spirited away with tears in her eyes and her heart shattered. She held what looked to be the bundle in her arms as she kept running.
An arrow dug into her thigh making her scream in pain as she fell to the ground. She tried to crawl away as a few figures approached her. One pried the bundle from her hands.
"No!" The woman cried out.
"Stupid woman! You should've known that no one can escape the-" The figure paused when he opened the bundle to find… garbage!? "What is this?!"
The woman gave a smirk as a feminine figure with amber eyes approached them.
"Where's the child?" The figure demanded.
The woman mustered enough strength to spit at the figure's feet, "You'll not find her! You or your minions!"
The figure narrowed her eyes, and then turned to her minions and gave them a nod. They picked her up and began pummeling her. One of them grabbed her arms and broke them at the elbow.
"I want you all to spread out across the city, I want that child found." The figure said as one of the minions pointed a gun to the woman's face and pulled the trigger.
Back where the bundle was hidden, there was a little baby girl suckling her thumb, before slowly opening her eyes. Her eyes were revealed to be beautiful and shining silver.
LINE BREAK
Three weeks had passed since Aaron had become Kamen Rider Kurenai to stop the Reptile Greeed and during that time, Team JOKR had been training with their Semblance nonstop to get stronger. But eventually, they had to take a break, courtesy of Ruby's puppy dog eyes.
Right now, Ruby was dragging her sort-of boyfriend, Orion, around town to see if she could get one of those rumored rainbow cookies that had been popping up recently.
"I don't see why you had to drag me here, Ruby," Orion deadpanned. "Couldn't you just order them?"
"I needed to see them up close and personal," Ruby replied, "And I'm kinda banned from ordering anything except spare parts because of what Yang ordered."
As they passed by a television, a news broadcast was playing.
["Thanks, Cyril, in other news, police have identified the body as Miss Patricia Auburn. While there are many speculations about why she was killed, police believe that she is another victim to White Fang incursion."] Lisa Lavender stated. An image of a beautiful woman with auburn hair and grey eyes appeared next to the newscaster.
"How terrible…" Ruby said with a sad frown.
Orion growled under his breath, "Damn terrorists. They just can't get enough of shedding innocent blood." He spat.
Ruby shook her head, "Right, enough of that. Come on, I know a shortcut to the store."
Ruby pulled Orion towards an alleyway. As they were walking, Ruby heard a strange noise.
"Did you hear something?" Ruby asked.
"It came from over there," Orion said, pointing at an alleyway. The two ran over towards the source of the sound, and found what looked to be a makeshift crib. Getting closer, the two gasped as they saw a crying baby girl.
"It's a baby!" Ruby exclaimed
"But all the way out here?" Orion got out. "Who would leave a baby all the way out here?"
He noticed a small note folded up by the crib. Taking the note, he unfolded it and began to read it.
"To anyone who finds my little Melody, please take her someplace far away from Vale. Strange people are after us, my husband was killed and I fear I'm not far behind. Please… take care of her. I beg of you."
"Oh, you poor little thing," Ruby said sympathetically, cradling the baby in her arms. The baby squirmed before the little eyes opened up. The little reaper then gasped. "Oh… she has silver eyes like me!"
"Wait, what?" Orion said, looking at the baby girl. "You're right." Though it did worry him. If strange people were after whoever they were chasing, then this child with the silver eyes could be the reason why.
"We better contact the others," Ruby said as the baby girl stared at Ruby.
"Uh, Ruby… I think the little one has some extra appendages." Orion gestured to the infant's brown hair to reveal a small set of barely noticeable wolf ears.
"A silver-eyed Faunus." Ruby gasped.
"Then…" Orion said before looking at the news then back at the baby. "Okay, I got the gist of it."
LINE BREAK
"Awwwwwwwww, she is so cute! You're so precious! Yes, you are! Ohhh, goo gaa gaa." Weiss and Yang were immediately enthralled by the baby's cuteness, ogling over her. The others sweatdropped at what they were seeing.
"You know seeing this side of them is rather scary." Blake shuddered.
"So you're saying that her mother is Patricia Auburn, the woman found dead this morning?" Aaron asked the two.
Ruby was cradling Melody, who was fast asleep and suckling on her thumb.
"Yeah." Orion nodded. "That's what I'm thinking."
"Not only that, there's the fact that the baby has silver eyes like Ruby." Kurogasa frowned seriously. "You know what that means…"
Aaron nodded, "We should talk with Oz about this."
"And why's that?" Orpheus asked.
"You know why Orpheus," Aaron said. "They're destined to be warriors, fighting the Grimm. There are few in between who have that special trait."
"This is a baby!" The musician whispered with a frown. "And besides, how do we know her eyes really are silver? They could just be gray or a shade of white."
"That's a good point." Orion agreed. "Still, I don't think we can take that chance. Plus, I ain't too keen on letting Ozpin know about her…"
Aaron pursed his lips in thought then looked between Ruby and the infant. It honestly seemed rather cute to see and it did remind him of his past life back on Earth. Then an idea came to mind…
"I got it!" He said, standing up from his seat. "We'll all raise her ourselves!"
"What?!" The entire group said, but not loud enough to wake Melody.
"Think about it. No way we can just drop her off at an orphanage. Plus, we don't really know if she has any relatives or if somebody that hurt her mom will come back to hurt her. So it's only right that we all act as her surrogate parents until we can find her a home!" Aaron explained.
"Well, I mean you're not wrong, but…" Orion pondered. "Shouldn't we at least tell Oz about this? And let's not forget that we are students who have to attend classes five days a week!"
"No way! We can totally handle this! And besides, some of us can just fake being sick or just class altogether. I mean, it's not like Jaune's good in combat class." Aaron pointed out.
"Okay, hurtful…" Jaune whined. "But he's not wrong…"
"Think of it like this. Six guys, six girls. That's six different pairs of parents to take care of her!"
"That's…" Blake said, with a slight blush.
"Perfect!" Aaron finished for his sister. "Now comes the important task of being a parent… getting baby stuff."
"Like what?" Yang asked.
"Diapers, formula, toys, baby clothes, a crib, that sort of stuff," Aaron explained. "And we need someone to watch her while the rest of us go out into the city to get them."
Everyone turned to the perfect people for the job.
"Wait, what?" Orion blinked.
"Really!?" Ruby smiled in excitement.
"You two did find her first. It's only right that you act like her mom and dad for now. Don't worry, we'll be back soon with the baby supplies." Aaron said with a smirk..
"But I don't know how to raise a kid!" Orion exclaimed.
"I still think we should at least tell Oz," Kurogasa said. "Maybe he could adjust our schedules for us."
"In that case, you tell him that we're taking care of an abandoned baby." Orpheus patted his partner's back.
"At least I'm trying to do the right thing." He muttered, rolling his eyes.
LINE BREAK
"Alright, first item diapers," Aaron said as he and the teams were in the supermarket.
Pyrrha held up a packet of them.
"Formula?"
Blake held up said milk substitute.
"Baby clothes?"
Weiss, Nora, and Yang presented several cute and adorable sets of baby clothing.
"Toys?"
Ren came back holding enough toys to fill a crib.
"Baby crib?"
"Got it…" Jaune groaned as he hefted a cardboard box filled with the heavy object.
"Baby food?"
Orpheus returned with many jars of mashed foods intended for babies.
"And I've got the baby books and videos!" Aaron held up said materials with a grin. "Alright, good job so far. Wonder how Killjoy Kuro is doing right now?"
LINE BREAK
"You are certain of this?" Ozpin raised an eyebrow.
"Mostly," Kurogasa said. "Though I don't know why the White Fang would be after a baby that has silver eyes. It's not like them, especially since it's a Faunus child."
"I see…" Ozpin folded his hands together and went deep in thought. "In any case, I suppose I can make some adjustments to your schedules. But that child is your responsibility until I can find her a new foster family to put her in."
"Thank you, professor." Kurogasa bowed before turning to leave.
"Oh, and before you leave…" Ozpin had a sly smirk on his face. "I just wanted to say, good luck being a parent."
Kurogasa raised a brow as he left.
"Are you sure it's wise, sir?" Glynda asked Ozpin, "To let them care for an infant?"
"We have to have faith in them, Glynda." Ozpin simply said, "Contact Qrow and Taiyang, I need to have a word with them."
LINE BREAK
The rest of JOKR, RWBY, and JNPR made it back to Beacon with their haul after paying for it (on Weiss's credit card no less) and returned to the RWBY dorm to find Ruby holding Melody while Orion was pacing around like a nervous wreck.
"We're back!" Yang announced.
Orion ran towards his friends and hugged them like no tomorrow. "Oh thank god you're here!"
"Dude, we were only gone for an hour…" Orpheus deadpanned. "You need to chill."
"You left me here with a baby and did I mention I have no idea what to do!?"
"Dude, relax, that's why I got this." Aaron held up a book titled 'Parenthood for Dummies'.
"Babies don't come with instructions." Orion deadpanned. "Each baby is different."
"It's for you, idiot. You know, since you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown." Aaron tossed the book into his partner's arms before he gestured to the baby supplies. "Well, we have the stuff, now we just need a place to put it all."
"What about our secret base?" Orpheus suggested.
"That works."
"Hey guys, I'm back," Kurogasa announced, coming into the room. "We got the okay from Oz." He said with a thumbs-up.
"Excellent! To the base!" Aaron declared loudly.
"Shhhhhh!" Ruby hissed. "Melody is asleep!"
"Sorry," The crimson-eyed fighter winced.
LINE BREAK
In the Riders' underground base, the three teams had finished setting up a place that would act as the baby's home for time she would remain in Beacon Academy.
"Oooooh, this is gonna be great!" Nora gushed. "It's like playing husband and wife when we were kids, huh Ren? Huh~?" She wiggled her eyebrows at him.
Ren, seemingly oblivious to his childhood friend's meaning, nodded, "Yes, Nora."
"How is he that dense?" Kurogasa muttered to Orpheus.
"To be fair, the romance didn't cross his mind until later." The musician whispered back.
"Right… end of Volume 4…" He nodded.
"Alrighty, I got our schedules!" Aaron said as he pulled it up on the supercomputer screen. "Okay, so Mondays will be Orion and Ruby, Tuesdays will be Kuro and Weiss, Wednesdays will be Blake and I, Thursdays will be Orpheus and Yang, Fridays will be Jaune and Pyrrha, and Saturdays will be Ren and Nora."
"What about Sunday?" Ruby asked as she rubbed Melody's chubby, baby cheeks. Melody giggled cutely as her tiny ears wiggled.
"All of us."
"Mmmmm, I hate waiting for my turn! Mama Yang needs to hold that baby!" The buxom brawler whined.
"No! She's mine!" Ruby held the baby gently yet possessively. "I found the baby first."
The two entered an intense staredown with literal sparks flying between them. The others sweatdropped at the two.
"Classic sibling rivalry…" Kurogasa muttered.
"This is gonna be crazy…" Blake added, whilst blushing at the baby's tiny ears.
"As if our lives couldn't get any more crazy…" Jaune said dryly.
"Well, I guess there's not much to do but… raise the baby." Aaron chuckled.
LINE BREAK
"Where is that baby!?" One White Fang member snarled.
"Chill, man. It's a baby." Another White Fang member interjected. "What's the big deal about some kid?"
"You and I both know why that brat is important!"
"Uh, not really. I don't get why we're hunting down a baby. You know? The cute little buggers that cry and whine."
"That baby has silver eyes." A feminine voice answered as the figure with the amber eyes approached. "They are especially dangerous since they have the power to vaporize Grimm in an instant. Something that our master does not want alive."
"You mean that hooded freak with the book?"
"Oh come now, that is rather harsh of you." Another figure said, approaching.
"Huh? Who's that guy?" The second White Fang member asked.
"The other hooded freak's cousin? I don't know!" The first White Fang member shouted.
"How rude of you. And here I thought someone of your caliber might actually help me."
"What do you want?" The feminine figure asked, narrowing her amber eyes. "State your business or leave."
"I have a proposition for you all." The man said simply.
"And that would be?"
"I help you find that child and you all help me find the one I seek." The figure said with a smirk.
"Hm, I will think about it."
LINE BREAK
A girl with headphones, tan skin and black hair was listening to a remix of Sacrifice, whilst chewing some gum. She was wearing a tan button-down shirt, snakeskin print skirt and bow tie, orange calf-high socks, and brown loafers. She hummed as she skipped towards Beacon, with a familiar girl with mismatched eyes in disguise.
"Now then, our boss tasked us with causing trouble at Beacon," The girl, revealing herself to be Kurai, spoke.
Neo nods and signed.
"What do you mean, 'I'm not cut out for it'?!" She yelled comically.
Neo signed with a dry look on her face.
"Oh haha, and I suppose you actually have a plan then?" Kurai said with a huff.
Neo looks at her.
"Oh, you're serious?" Kurai asked, surprised.
Neo did a few comical hand motions.
"...That's a good plan." Kurai admitted, "Let's get to it then."
LINE BREAK
And so the days went by for the uh… six pairs of parents for Melody. The girls all just absolutely adore the baby getting every chance they get to make the baby happy, especially Yang, who just wanted it all to herself. There were even times that during the days it wasn't Yang's turn, she would kidnap the kid and they'd have to chase her all around campus.
Though there were days where the pairs had… trouble, so to speak…
Flashback #1
"Nora! What are you doing!?" Ren exclaimed as he witnessed his friend trying to feed Melody a fat stack of pancakes.
"Don't stop me, Ren! I am showing our baby the greatness that is… PANCAKES!" The thunderous and loud girl boasted. Melody giggles as she claps her hands.
"She can't eat solid foods yet! You know that!"
"Why should that stop her? I mean, it worked for my grandma when she lost all her teeth."
"That's not the point!" Ren said. "She'll have a huge stomach ache and she won't be able to digest it all!"
"Oh, don't be such a sissy. Open up, Melody~" Nora cooed as she presents the first pancake to the baby, who only laughed and giggled at how silly her thunder mommy was.
Flashback #2
"Blake, she's not gonna pull your hair out," Aaron said, as the cat Faunus was slightly backed up when Melody tried to crawl over to her.
"You know that I'm a cat Faunus right? And cats hate dogs." Blake pointed out.
Aaron gave his sister a dry look, "She's a wolf Faunus and a baby…"
"Still under the category of dog!"
Melody giggled and laughed as she tried to reach over to Blake.
"No, no, getaway!" Blake said, trying to do so, but Melody kept following as if it were a game to her.
"Blake, you can't honestly tell me that you can't stand that face, right? Go on, I dare you to say it." Aaron said with his arms folded.
"It's not like that! It's just… oooooh…" Blake whimpered.
Flashback #3
"Weiss, you didn't have to freeze her diaper," Kurogasa said as Melody was shivering when she was wearing said diaper on her.
"But that smell is horrid!" The heiress tried to justify her reasons.
"Doesn't matter," Kurogasa said, before taking the baby off her hands. "Don't worry baby girl. Mama Schnee was just being silly, freezing you up." He said before taking off the diaper popsicle. "Here, you throw- oooooh, actually, hold her." He snickered, as he gave Melody to Weiss, then took the frozen diaper and a fire Dust Crystal, before rushing over to CRDL's dorm room. Snickering again, he lit the Dust on fire, catching the diaper on fire as well before quickly leaving. The door opened revealing Cardin noticing the fire in front of him, he naturally stepped on it to put it out, but then… the smell was stuck on his shoe and he lifted up his foot to notice the poop on his shoe.
"Ughhhhhhh! What the hell!?" Cardin cried out in dismay.
Weiss along with Melody stared at Kurogasa, who was snickering and trying to keep the rest of his laughter from escaping. The heiress promptly flicked her brother's ear, "You are so immature."
"Better than getting in trouble for punching his nuts."
Flashback #4
"Where the heck is that darn formula?" Yang wondered as she searched the secret base for any sign of said baby nourishment.
"Did you check the cupboard?" Orpheus asked as he was reading Melody a baby book.
"Give me a min- Oh, there it is!" The buxom blonde exclaimed as she came back with a baby bottle filled with formula. "Alright, little lady, time for dinner." Yang took hold of Melody with one arm and presented the bottle to her to drink but the infant began to fuss and push the bottle away. "Huh? Come on, don't be picky."
"Naiiiiii!" Melody whined, not wanting the bottle. Instead, she began to tug at Yang's shirt...
"Whoa, whoa, whoa hey there." Yang looked surprised. "Getting a little daring, are ya?"
"Was this baby breastfed before they got her?" Orpheus asked.
"Well, she's not gonna drink from the bottle… and I don't exactly have any milk in the girls." The brawler pointed out.
"But you still want to anyway…" Orpheus deadpanned.
Yang pouted, "Hey! When I become a mom someday, I'm gonna be doing it anyway so… I might as well try to trick her to drink the formula." She leveled a dangerous glare at the bard. "But if you so much as peek while I'm doing this, I'll rip that 'thing' between your legs off and feed it to you."
"Ugh…" Orpheus rolled his eyes before leaving right after to give the blonde some privacy. "Women…"
"I heard that!"
"You were supposed to!"
Yang huffed before looking down at the infant as Melody was still trying to take her shirt off. Looking left and right, to make sure no one was looking, she pulled up her shirt and Melody went straight for one of the brawler's breasts. However, Yang quickly snuck in the bottle of baby formula to the infant's mouth, who was none the wiser as she suckled on her meal.
Flashback #5
"Waaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaah!"
"It's okay, Melody, calm down," Jaune said, trying to rock the crying baby to sleep, but none of it was working. He lived with seven sisters! How is this not working?!
"Let me see her, Jaune," Pyrrha offered to take the infant out of her partner's hands. Jaune handed Melody over to the redhead. "Shhhhhh… it's okay. There, there." She said softly, patting the baby's back as the baby was now whimpering. She then hummed her mother's lullaby song and as time went by, the baby stopped crying and Melody's eyes were getting heavy. Before long, she was fast asleep.
"Wow… how did you do that?" Jaune whispered in awe.
Pyrrha smiled at her partner as she rocked the snoozing baby in her arms, "I used to babysit children back home." She explained.
"Well, thank Oum for that!" The blonde knight loudly declared. Suddenly, Melody began to wail as her sleep was disturbed by Jaune's declaration.
"Jaune!"
"Oopsie…"
Flashback #6
"Kyaaaaaaah, she's so cute!" Ruby gushed in delight, pinching Melody's cheeks and making funny faces, making Melody laugh.
"Glad you think so, Ruby," Orion said while reading a newspaper.
"What's wrong, Orion? Don't you wanna be a dad?"
The older Arc twin sighed, "Of course, I do. I just… wasn't expecting to act like one this soon." He admitted.
"Well, think of this as practice for the real thing." Ruby chirped.
"Ruby, I don't think this would really count as-" Orion tried to say before he heard a certain word from Melody.
"Paaaa!" The baby cried out in joy, holding her chubby hands out to Orion with a happy smile on her face.
"Huh…?"
"Oh my gosh, she said her first word!" Ruby gasped happily. "GUYS! MELODY SAID HER FIRST WORD!" Within moments, everyone rushed in the base gathering around them.
"TELL US EVERYTHING!" Aaron demanded with glee on his face.
"DOES ANYONE HAVE A CAMERA!?" Yang exclaimed.
"WE HAVE TO RECORD THIS!" Nora added.
"Guys! It's not a big deal, she just said-" Orion tried to explain before Melody answered for him.
"Paaaa!"
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" All the girls gushed at her cuteness.
"Well, congrats, Dad." Aaron chuckled, patting Orion's shoulder.
"Huh? Dad?" Orion blinked in confusion before he felt two chubby hands patting his legs. Looking down, he saw Melody staring up at him with a big smile on her adorable face.
"Paaaapaaa!"
At that moment, Orion's heart had been struck by Melody's cuteness arrow… it was super effective.
"UGUUUUUUUUUU!"
"He's having a moe moment." Kurogasa sweatdropped.
"You're just mad because she didn't call you her papa first," Orpheus pointed out.
Kurogasa raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about? I'm not mad."
"He's already in denial," Ren said.
"So pitiful…" Aaron added while shaking his head.
"Guys, it's fine. Really. It's not that big of a deal for me." Kurogasa crossed his arms.
"Oh my God, she's taking her first steps!" Jaune gestured.
"That's it, go to mama," Orion said, as Melody wobbled towards Ruby.
"Record, record! SOMEBODY RECORD THIS!" Kurogasa suddenly exclaimed.
LINE BREAK
By Sunday, all of them were exhausted as they were sprawled all over JOKR's dorm room floor with the baby in the crib, sleeping away. There was a knock on the door before it opened to reveal Ozpin with his coffee in hand. "So everyone, how's parenting?" He asked casually.
"Ughhhhhhhh…" They all groaned.
"I feel like I aged ten years in just a day…" Aaron groaned.
"Such is the life of parenting," Ozpin smirked.
"Man, this is more difficult than we originally thought." Kurogasa sighed as he sat up.
"But the moments with her were worth it," Ruby chirped with a bright smile.
"Yeah, I guess so." Yang agreed.
Ozpin chuckled in amusement, "Well, I just wanted to check up on you all and inform you that I manage to find a nice family who are willing to take in little Melody as their own."
"Really? That's great." Blake said.
"Awwwww… I want her to stay here a bit longer." Nora whined.
Nora wasn't the only one who was upset. In fact, all of the teens were disheartened to hear that the girl they had been raising for the past week would be given away to another family.
"I'm sorry, but it must be done. All good things must come to an end." Ozpin shook his head.
"Can we at least talk to the family first?" Ruby asked
"Of course," Ozpin said, "They're in my office filing the paperwork."
The group sadly walked out, letting the infant sleep as they headed towards Ozpin's office to meet the family.
Whilst Melody was sleeping peacefully, a window was being forced open quietly. Kurai raised her head to look around.
"The coast is clear Neo, come on." She whispered as she crawled in. Neo crawled in as well, looking around.
"It's time to cause some chaos," Kurai whispers devilishly, "we'll start by trashing their-" she looked around, "You sure this is their base?"
Neo did a few hand signs.
"Well, it was your directions that got us here." The Greeed said looking at the small infant.
"Ugh, you humans and Faunus come from gross beginnings." Kurai cringed as she looked at Neo, "We better find something to trash in this place."
As the two began to sneak out of the room, Melody slowly awoke and noticed the two sneaking out of her room. She also noticed that her crib was open, so she decided to let curiosity guide her.
"Ok, find something to trash, and see if they're keeping my Core Medal anywhere," Kurai whispers as she looked around the dorm room and began looking at all the stuff.
While Neo dug through the closets, Kurai was looking in all the drawers, tossing clothes out.
"Find anything Neo?" Kurai whispers. The two were unaware of Melody curiously crawling into the room.
Neo pulled out what looked to be a diary, while Kurai found a jar of cookies and was digging into them.
"That seems important, toss it into the bag," Kurai said holding a decent sized bag with some stuff.
A noise caused them to turn and see Melody staring at them.
"Uh, Neo?" Kurai said, "What do we do?"
Neo made a few signs.
"How should I know?!" Kurai said, "I'm not touching it, you touch it."
Neo pointed at Kurai and the two got into an argument about who should touch it. Melody giggled as the two strangers argued. She then began to crawl up Kurai's leg and onto her body making her tense up.
Kurai tried to pry the infant off, but Melody then decided to bite her hand. There was a slight pause before Kurai panicked and ran around the room.
"Neo, Get it off get it off get it off!" Kurai screamed as she ran around comically. Neo tried to shush her and pull the infant off but to no avail. The two were unaware that in their haste, they set off a small device Aaron installed in case of intruders.
Back with our heroes, they were about to meet with the family that agreed to take Melody. And to their surprise, it was none other than…
"Dad?!" Ruby shouted surprised, "What are you doing here?"
"Heya kiddo." Taiyang waved.
"I've called your father here because he is going to be young Melody's foster parent," Ozpin stated.
"Then that means we can still see her?!" Yang said excitedly.
"You know it firecracker," Taiyang said with a smile.
The group cheered as Aaron's scroll beeped. Aaron noticed it and looked at his scroll, his face paling up.
"Hm? Aaron, what's wrong?" Yang asked, noticing his distress. He then bolted out of the office, "Aaron!"
The group ran after him, hoping to find out what's wrong. When the group got to their dorm, they were horrified by what they saw. The entire room was trashed, items strewn about the room.
"No…" Ruby muttered as she ran into the bedroom where Melody sleeps. Then came the unholiest of screeches in the history of unholy screeches. The group ran in to see Ruby on the ground unconscious as they saw Melody's crib opened, and she was nowhere to be found.
"Ruby!" Kurogasa shouted, running over to her, holding her. "Wake up!"
"She's fainted," Orion said.
Aaron wasted no time dialing Ozpin. "Oz, lock down the school! No one gets in or out! The kidnapper couldn't have gone far!"
Outside Beacon, Neo and Kurai were running as fast as they could, with Melody in Neo's arms giggling like crazy.
"Now what are we gonna do?" Kurai shouted comically as the two ran onto the last airship to Vale.
Neo merely glared at Kurai.
"Don't look at me like that! This was your idea!" Kurai yelled.
As the ship took off, the Riders searched around the landing platform.
"Damn it!" Orpheus cursed, "They must've gotten onto that airship!"
"We need to get down to the city!" Aaron said with sharp eyes, "We'll find the kidnappers and get our baby back!"
He heard a clunk under his foot and looked down. It was a single Cell Medal. Picking it up, his anger began to grow. He had an idea of who one of the kidnappers might be, and it made his blood boil.
"That bitch…" Aaron muttered.
[Vale]
The two partners in crime were sneaking around as police were everywhere.
"What the heck, what's with all these coppers?" Kurai whispered.
Neo made a few hand signs, whilst Kurai held Melody who was nibbling her fingers.
"Good point, contacting Roman would improve our chances," Kurai muttered. The two hid as the group of young heroes came in, looking angrier and more determined than ever.
"When I get my hands on those kidnappers," Yang said with her eyes burning red. "They're gonna wish they were never born."
"I'm gonna use them as my personal punching bags when I catch them…" Orion stated. Kurai trembled as she noticed Aaron's expression. Flashes of how he could easily kill her made her tremble in fear.
Neo pulled out her scroll and began to text. She asked Roman in the text to send backup as they slowly snuck by the group. But Kurai accidentally knocked over a bottle, causing the group to spot them.
"There they are!" Weiss shouted
"Uh oh, run!" Kurai said as she and Neo started running, with the group chasing after them.
"COME BACK HERE WITH OUR BABY!"
The two began a crazy chase all across Vale, with our heroes in hot pursuit. The heroes were relentless, but the two were always three steps ahead. And… Why was the Benny Hill theme playing!?
But anyway, let's see where the two ran across in this crazy city.
LINE BREAK
On the rooftops, Kurai and Neo were hopping across the roofs with Melody giggling happily. Blake, Pyrrha, and Orpheus were leaping after them.
LINE BREAK
The two were then hiding in the library with fake mustaches, where Nora, Jaune, and Orion were searching.
LINE BREAK
The criminal duo hid in an alleyway, catching their breath.
"All this trouble…" Kurai breathed heavily, "For a bloody kid!"
She pointed at Melody accusingly who was drooling. Kurai sighed as she looked around, "I think we lost them."
The two turned to head out when a bunch of White Fang grunts was pointing their guns at them.
"Oh come on!"
LINE BREAK
"Dang it… where are they?" Kurogasa panted heavily. "We've been searching the town… for hours…"
"We're not leaving without our baby!" Aaron hissed.
"If only… we had something to track them…" Orion panted.
The group pondered, and then Aaron remembered something that made him facepalm.
"I'm an idiot!" He said as he pulled out his scroll and pushed a few buttons.
"What are you talking about?" Orion asked
"I made a little GPS and placed it on Melody in case of emergencies like this," Aaron explained
Everyone fell down, anime style. "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THAT EARLIER!?" They shouted.
"All honesty? I got caught up in the moment of fatherhood." The crimson-eyed youth said with a sheepish chuckle.
LINE BREAK
The duo criminals found themselves tied up, as Melody was squirming in the White Fang's grip.
"Why do we get wrapped into these things, Neo?" Kurai asked. Neo merely shrugged as one of the members placed a gag on Kurai.
"Finally," one of the grunts said, "Bitch wouldn't stop yapping."
"Don't forget the other one." Another grunt said. Neo gave him an 'are you serious?' look.
"Stop squirming you little brat!" The grunt holding Melody exclaimed as Melody started to cry.
"Did anyone contact that woman?" The leader of the group asked his grunts.
"I'm here." The female figure walks towards them with the green hooded figure holding his book.
"So this is the child you were speaking of," The hooded man said with interest.
"And what of it?" The woman remarked in a cold yet sultry manner.
"It certainly seems odd that you would seek a small child," the man replied.
"Pay no mind to it," the woman said, "For now, it's time to kill this child…"
She drew a small dagger and walked towards the squirming infant. She was prepared to stab it when a grunt came running in.
"Intruders! We got intruders!" The grunt said.
"Damn it! It's too soon," the woman cursed, "Kill the infant and deal with them. I must not be seen."
The grunts nodded as the woman fled the scene. One of them held up the dagger, poised to end the infant's life. Then suddenly, the heroes came crashing through the wall thanks to Nora and Orion's combined strength. The grunts quickly fled into another room as the smoke cleared.
"Knock knock," Nora said with a sadistic smile.
"Room service!" Orion called out with a dangerous grin on his face.
'Oh, crap…' Kurai thought with a grimace before she realized that neither of them has actually seen her in her human form. That made her smirk as she nudged Neo and began crying out for help into her gag. Neo got the idea and made it look like they needed help.
"Over there!" Blake said, hearing the two. The group ran over and undid their gags.
"Oh, thank goodness you're here!" Kurai said, acting relieved.
Aaron glared at the White Fang members, "First you kidnap a baby… now you're holding innocent girls hostage?! You guys really have succumbed to a new branch of idiocy!"
"Let's break their faces in!" Yang declared, slamming her fists together as her Semblance flared via her anger.
"They're in the other room!" Kurai said, "We saw them take her and tried to save her. We mistook you for some of their minions so we ran until they caught us."
Neo nodded apologetically.
Blake and the others undid their bonds, letting them go free. The two waved goodbye thanking them before running and snickering amongst themselves.
"Come on," Kurogasa said, "We gotta hurry!"
The group nodded and ran to the entrance but stopped and froze in surprise as the green hooded man appeared. He smirked as he looked at the group, Aaron specifically.
"Welcome, Kamen Riders and their allies." The man said as he gave a gentleman bow.
"Who the hell are you?!" Orpheus demanded.
"Wait…" Aaron said, recognizing the man's outfit as well as the book he carried, "It can't be!"
"Indeed, it is I," the man said pulling his hood down, "Waga Maou."
"WOZ?!" The four Riders exclaimed as the man revealed himself to be Woz, a servant to the great demon king Zi-O. He smiled as he bowed respectfully, while the others were just super confused.
"What the heck is going on?!" Weiss exclaimed.
"Oh sorry, let me explain," Aaron explained, "This here is Woz, he is a friend of Kamen Rider Zi-O."
"And I am here to help you, Waga Maou," said Woz as he kneeled.
"Eh?" Aaron blinked in surprise before they grew to the size of dinner plates, "EEEEEHHHHHHHH?!"
Aaron's teammates had to do a double-take. Their own eyes were wide with disbelief.
"What? What did he say?" Yang asked Aaron.
"You possess his powers," Woz explains, "Therefore, you're technically another version of my lord."
Ruby, who still had the mindset of a child, had no idea what the man was spouting. "Um, what?"
"He basically means that Aaron is a king." Ren clarified.
"Oh…" Ruby nodded in understanding with a grin on her face…
…
…
…
...before it morphed into a look of shock, "WAIT, WHAT!?"
Teams RWBY and JNPR stared at Aaron in shock, before Nora cheered.
"He's king of the castle, he's king of the castle!" Nora sang.
"NORA!" Nora's friends shouted.
"Anyway, if you're after the child, she's in there," Woz said pointing at a door, "We must hurry."
"Er, right," Kurogasa said shaking his head as he ran towards the door, everyone else following. When they barged through the door, they gasped as the leader held Melody like a hostage.
"Melody!" Ruby shouted. Melody reached for her family as the grunts held up their weapons.
Aaron tightened his fists as he and his friends glared at the White Fang.
"You punks are gonna regret taking her," Aaron growled, "So release that child and surrender!"
"Sorry, but our boss wants this kid dead," the leader said, "And it seems that you won't be doing anything while she remains in my grasp."
He made a point by moving his blade a tad closer, letting a little blood drip. This made our heroes flinch, knowing that he speaks the truth and the fact that he hurt Melody. Aaron grits his teeth, before sighing.
"Everyone, stand down," Aaron said dejectedly, "They've won this round."
Everyone was taken by surprise by Aaron's decision.
"Aaron, no!" Yang exclaimed, "We can stop them, they just-"
Without warning, Woz suddenly unfurled his cloak and threw it at the White Fang members. It shot towards the child and wrapped around Melody before the cloth was pulled back and brought over to Woz.
"Wait," Ruby said, doing a few double takes, "What the what?!"
"Nothing is impossible," Woz said, gently giving the child to her.
"Um…"
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Orion waved off.
"Alright, now that our baby is safe, I don't have to hold back," Aaron said.
Aaron's Aura glowed and enveloped his body before he produced a belt and it appeared with a unique buckle that was black, the edges around the center being pearl gray while the interior was clear and tinted, almost looking like a digital clock. Two black slots were on both sides of the buckle itself. He then took out from his pocket what appeared to be a futuristic stopwatch, the image in it that was of a face while having the year 2018. He then attached the buckle to his waist and a belt shot out from his left before wrapping around and locked in place on his right.
ZIKU DRIVER!
Aaron then held out the watch, turning the frame over to cover the year 2018 and was replaced by a white faceplate that represented the face of a clock, the tick marks decorating the edges of the face. The antennae were the clock hands and in the middle were katakana making for the word, 'Rider' done in magenta with the silver katakana 'Kamen' on the forehead as the 'jewel'. Aaron then pressed the button.
ZI-O!
Placing it onto the right slot, it locks into place. The buckle immediately tilted, and a ticking sound was heard. Aaron had his left hand out to the right and the right hand clenched into a fist. "Henshin!" Moving his left hand, he swiftly moved the limb across the buckle, spinning it. The buckle stops as it chimed out after a resounding boom of a clock.
RIDER TIME!
The transparent clock behind him revealed purple katakana lettering. Metal bands begin to shroud him; purple light enveloping his body. When the bands burst along with the light, it showed the silhouette covered in a black bodysuit. Over the bodysuit was black armor with a silver metal girding that resembles a wristwatch, running from the center of the chest armor and down to the belt. The collar area was raised, bearing a periwinkle color alongside the underside of the shoulder and chest armor. The bright violet stripe was running alongside it. Hugging his forearms were gauntlets that held one other device similar to the one used on his belt while the other three spots were left empty. His armored gloves are a bright violet color alongside the fingers. The knee pads and elbows were shaped as the knobs of a watch while purple lining was seen on the upper edge of the lower leg armor. Cuffed around the shin were gray bands and a pair of armored shoes with the front ends being a steel gray color. The katakana lettering burst before solidifying towards his helmet. The helmet itself has the arms of a clock that is nearly shaped like a V. Once the purple visor assembled itself onto his armor, it completed the transformation.
KAMEN RIDER~ ZI-O!
"IWAE!" Woz rejoiced with flair holding out his open book while holding his free arm out. "ZEN RIDER NO CHIKARA O UKETSUGI! JIKU O KOE, KAKO TO MIRAI O SHIROSHIMESU TOKI NO OUJA! SONO NA MO KAMEN RIDER ZI-O! MASANI SEITAN NO SHUNKAN DEARU!"
Everyone on RWBY and JNPR looked absolutely confused about what he said.
"Ah. Er-hem. Forgive me. You do not speak my language. Allow me to translate." Woz then cleared his throat, "REJOICE! Behold the heir to the power of all Riders. The lord of time, traveling beyond time and space to reign over past and future… His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O! Truly, this is the moment he is born!"
"Oi, Woz…" Zi-O tapped the man's shoulder. "Can you not do that?"
"Oh but I must, Waga Maou." Woz said. "Simply not praising you would be a grave crime."
Aaron sighed, "Whatever…" He shrugged before he popped his knuckles. "Okay, you jerks. I can accept a lot of things. I can accept my friends being bullied or picked on. I can accept the fact that you're a bunch of extremists. But what I will never accept… is the fact that you tried to kill mah BABY! And Papa Wolf is in a seriously bad mood!"
"Okay, he's taking fatherhood way~ too seriously," Weiss commented.
"I don't know, I like it when he gets like this. Makes me feel warm down in my naughty bits." Yang admitted with a sly grin.
"TMI, Yang! TMI," Orion cried out.
"Now… who wants to get a broken jaw first?" Zi-O asked after he finished his declaration. Some of the grunts charged at Zi-O, who ran towards them to clash, starting the battle.
The others charged and joined in on the battle, planning on making them all face justice for their actions with Woz temporarily holding the baby. The group made short work of the group of White Fang members, but Blake seemed to feel bad for a few of them.
Ruby and the more agile members were dancing around the grunts bullets as they slowly picked them off one by one.
The tanks of the group like Yang, Orion, and Nora were dishing out massive damage to any unfortunate White Fang member that drew close to them. Yang and Nora especially dished out more pain than either of their friends as they took the kidnapping of their surrogate daughter seriously.
Pyrrha and Orpheus showed off why they were champions of Mistral by firing ranged shots and following up with close-ranged moves. Following up was Jaune hacking and slashing with his sword plus blocking with his shield.
Outside of the warehouse, Kurai and Neo stared at it whilst listening to the fighting. Kurai blew a large bubble from her gum, while Neo gave a few hand signs after looking at her scroll.
"Master and Roman gave us new orders?" Kurai asked happily, bouncing on her feet.
Neo made a few signs, which made Kurai frown and killed her mood.
"Tch, so we need to send in a few hybrids to help out those grunts then?" Kurai said, hands on her hips. Neo nodded, and Kurai sighed digging into her pockets, "Well, time to put these things master gave me to good use."
She then pulled out a few pictures of some hybrids of Another Riders and tossed them to the ground. The pictures began to glow, slowly changing into actual monsters. The hybrids roared and charged into the building, whilst the duo of crime smiled at each other and skipped away.
Back inside, the group was wrapping up with a few of the grunts. Suddenly, the roar of the hybrids took everyone by surprise.
"Hybrids?!" Yang said surprised, "Great…"
"Heads up, guys," Orion said with a smirk, "It's time we get ourselves a little workout."
The Riders nodded and began to summon their belts. Kurogasa and Orpheus summoned Ziku Drivers, whilst Orion was handed a driver by Woz.
"I want that back when you're finished with them." Woz said, whilst Melody was reaching for it curiously.
"Oh uh… thanks," Orion said as he strapped it on.
BEYON-DRIVER!
The three pulled out their own Ride Watches and activated them. Kurogasa pulled out the Geiz watch, Orion a futuristic green watch that was square-like which strangely had door panels having Woz's Rider Mask on it called the Miridewatch, and Orpheus had a black watch.
GEIZ!
WOZ!
BARLCKXS!
The three inserted their watches into their belts, letting their jingles play out.
For Kurogasa, the sound of a digital beep and a heart pulse echoed as an image of a red holographic digital clock with '0000' appeared and various digital clocks surrounded the big one. He bashed the button on the Ziku Driver making it tilt before moving his arms in a circular motion, holding onto the Driver.
With Orion, the elder Arc twin attached the Miridewatch to the right side and pressed the button, opening up the door panels to reveal Woz's faceplate but the image was reversed.
ACTION!
Chinese techno music began playing as a hologram of a smartwatch clock face appeared with numbers flashing in the background while green lines connected around him. For Orpheus, it was a stopwatch with crooked clock hands that would spin in opposite directions. He raised a hand, turned it around and brought it down till it was in front of his face.
"Henshin!" The three Riders shouted as Kurogasa and Orpheus spun their buckles, and Orion closed his buckle.
RIDER TIME/TOEI! FUTURE TIME!
The clocks behind the trio all showed the kanji for Rider as they flew out, armor formed onto them. Kurogasa became Geiz, as Orion now had green armor that had a digital watch design on the helmet and shoulders. Orpheus's armor resembled an old-style watch, whilst also paying a bit of homage to the Showa Era riders, Black and Black-RX. They were Kamen Riders Woz and Barlckxs.
KAMEN RI~DER~ GEIZ!
SUGOI! JIDAI! MIRAI! KAMEN RIDER WOZ! WO~Z!
KAMEN RIDER BARLCKXS!
"Ikuzo~!" Geiz shouted as he charged in at the Hybrids.
JIKAN ZAXE! ONO!
"Hah! Oryah!" Geiz shouted as he slashed relentlessly at the Hybrids that came his way.
JIKAN DESPEAR! YARISUGEI!
Kamen Rider Woz chuckled as he twirled his spear and got to work. He blocked many attacks and responded with multiple thrusts. Barlckxs drew a sword from his belt much like how Kamen Rider Black and Black-RX would. The trio began to tag-team the group of hybrids that appeared.
"Oi Aaron, hand me a Ridewatch!" Geiz said.
"Here!" Aaron said, throwing one of the Ridewatches to Geiz which the latter caught and it was the Drive Ridewatch as the left and right halves depicted Drive's helmet, the top showed Drive's logo and the bottom revealed the year 2014.
"Yosh!" Geiz said as he turned the frame to complete Drive's helmet and pressed the button.
DRIVE!
He then inserted it into the other slot of the Ziku Driver before pressing the button on it and spinning it.
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RI~DER~ GEIZ! ARMOR~ TIME!
Just then a set of armor similar to Kamen Rider Drive's armor along with two Type Speed tires on its shoulders appeared behind him, leaning to its side in Drive's signature pose. It then separated itself, flying all around as it attacked several hybrids before attaching itself to Geiz. The hiragana for 'Drive' then attached to his helmet.
DRIVE! DRIVE!
"Time to take you guys for a spin!" Geiz said as he disappeared in a blur and swung his Jikan Zaxe in quick succession. Tire tracks also appeared wherever Geiz goes, as he sends a few hybrids flying. He then switched his Jikan Zaxe to bow mode.
YUMI!
Aiming with precision, he fired energy arrows at the flying hybrids, hitting true to their targets and destroying them instantly. Kamen Rider Woz looked at the scene with an impression. "Guess I better not fall behind." He said as he pulled out a purple watch of a rider with a ninja motif, to which he activated.
SHINOBI!
He took out his own watch from his belt and replaced it with the new one.
ACTION! TOEI! FUTURE TIME!
He smirked as he closed the buckle, causing his green armor to be replaced with purple shuriken themed armor and the katakana for 'Shinobi' replaced the 'Rider'. His shoulder armor was now purple having a shuriken for logos, a large purple shuriken embedded his chest armor and he had a purple scarf to finish off his look.
DA-RE JA? O-RE JA! NINJA! FUTURING SHINOBI! SHINOBI!
"Shinobi is written as the heart of the blade," Rider Woz said as he pushed the scythe button on his weapon and turned the blade so that it became a scythe.
KAMASI-SUGEI!
He then began dashing around the field, using a combination of Ruby's scythe skills and Blake's ninja agility.
"Wow, he's like a mix between you two," Yang commented.
"He just looks so cool." Ruby gushed in delight.
"You're just saying that because he's your boyfriend," Her older sister teased.
"I said it's not like that!"
Zi-O smiled as he looked back at the leader, whom he was holding by his collar. The man's mask was broken, and his face was bruised from multiple punches. "Now what did we learn?" He asked in a scolding tone
"N-never mess with papa wolf's baby?" The man murmured out painfully.
"Good boy!" Zi-O smiled before suddenly throwing him in the air then pressed the button on the Zi-O watch.
FINISH TIME!
He then jumped up high before spinning the Ziku Driver, locking it in place.
TIME BREAK!
"NOW GET OUTTA HERE, JIVE-TURKEY!" Aaron shouted before kicking the leader, sending him flying high like a certain joke of an evil team before twinkling in the sky.
He turned to see his friends about to finish off the remaining hybrids.
FINISH TIME! DRIVE!
"Ikuzoooooooooo!" Geiz shouted as he spun the Ziku Driver again.
HISSATSU! TIME BURST!
They heard the sound of a car as swerving around the corner was Tridoron, Kamen Rider Drive's personal vehicle. It sped towards them before it circled around Geiz and his enemies and Geiz bounced off the car, kicking the Hybrids that were in the middle in place before kicking one last time, destroying them in the process.
Rider Woz smirked as he reopened his buckle and then pressed the button.
FINISH TIME!
He then slid his fingers across the touch screen of his weapon three times before closing his buckle back up again. This caused him to be surrounded in green and purple energy as his body began to duplicate.
NINPOU: ZIKAN ZIBARE NO JUTSU!
The multiple ninjas ran around the hybrids and began slashing them from multiple angles before they all merged back into one as his weapon glowed with all the energy that he gathered.
ICHIGEKI COME ON!
"HIYAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Rider Woz yelled as he came down and slashed the hybrids repeatedly. They sparked multiple times as Barlckxs leaped into the air, pushing the button on his ride watch and then spinning his Ziku Driver locking it into place.
FINISH TIME! BARLCKXS TIME BREAK!
His blade glowed brightly as he came down with multiple slashes. The hybrids cried out as they exploded into black mist. Melody giggled as she clapped her hands at her surrogate family's amazing fight.
The four Riders sighed in relief, as they undid their armors. Orion handed Woz his belt, who nodded at him.
LINE BREAK
The teams and Woz returned to Beacon Academy with Melody in tow safe and sound. Ruby didn't want to let her go, but like all good things, it must come to an end. But what was there to complain about? They were gonna see Melody again when the semester is over anyways.
"Well, I'd say that's another job well done," Aaron said as Melody was now playing with her new foster daddy, Taiyang.
"But one thing still baffles me…" Orpheus spoke before gesturing to Woz, "Why is he still here?"
"I am here simply to congratulate you all." Woz explained, "You had saved the child, and possibly the heir to your powers."
Aaron noticed that he was looking at him, Orion, and Ruby when he said it. "What do you mean," Aaron asked Woz.
"As much as I would love to tell you," Woz said with a smile, "I can't spoil your future at this time, otherwise it wouldn't happen."
"Of course…" The crimson-eyed youth deadpanned. "Is there anything that you can tell us?"
Woz smiled as he looked at Melody, who had a happy smile, "She'll grow up with a happy life thanks to you all. Oh, and her eyes aren't silver as you all assumed. It's a shade of gray."
…
…
…
…
"WHAAAAAAAAAT!"
"Ahaha… forgive me for not telling you sooner." Woz chuckled. "But it is indeed a shade of gray. Look at her eyes." He gestured. They all gathered around Melody who looked at them confused and looking closer, they indeed saw that it wasn't silver like Ruby's. It was a shade darker.
"Geez, all worked up for nothing." Orion sighed.
"Still, at least the enemy won't kill her anymore," Orpheus added.
"Gray…" Aaron deadpanned.
"Yes, gray. One of fifty shades-"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kurogasa suddenly shouted, surprising the others. "I FORBID YOU TO EVEN MENTION THAT!"
"Huh?" Blake looked confused.
"Blake, for your own good, NEVER read Fifty Shades of Grey! Your Ninjas of Love smut pales in comparison! Do you hear me!? IT'S FIIIIIIIILTH!"
"I don't read smut!" Blake exclaimed with a furious blush on her cheeks.
"You do so…" Aaron deadpanned.
"I will hurt you, Aaron."
"We went through all that… just to find out she only had grey eyes?" Orion could feel his mind begin to shut down.
"Hey, who took my diary?!" Weiss demanded.
"MY SECRET COOKIE STASH!" Ruby screamed.
LINE BREAK
"Ugh, what a day…" Kurai mutters as she and Neo were munching on Ruby's secret cookie stash. Neo smiled and showed Weiss's diary to Kurai, who read it and laughed. She then smirked deviously as a light bulb behind her head turned on, "Neo, this book just gave me a grand idea."
She whispered into her ear, and the two then had an evil laugh. Well one of them did because well… one of them being a mute and all.
GKC: And that's the end of the chapter. Hope you all enjoyed it! And be sure to catch the next one.
SR: And let's just say that the next chapter gets… scandalous. Be sure to leave a review and a favorite to stay tuned.
GKC: Before we leave for the clip, a reviewer asked about Kamen Rider Kurenai and if there will be other forms. I will be glad to inform you that the other original Riders will have other forms. As for Kurenai himself, I shall explain about his current form and his transformation device as best I can.
Fen: But for now, roll the preview!
Announcer: Jikai… Remnant's Climax Heroes!
Weiss: I'm worried about Kuro. He's working himself too hard.
Kurogasa: Got to… keep going…
Azrael: I believe it's time for a… personal approach.
Kurogasa: No… I won't… give in to the darkness! Graaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
Next Time: Darkness Within! White Dragon's Roar!
Kurogasa: Someone… Help… Me!
GKC: And with that-
Aaron: Matte!
GKC: Eh? What are you doing here!?
Aaron: You forgot to explain about Kurenai and his Crimson Wolf form!
GKC: Oh yeah… I suppose I can explain that.
SR: I'm quite curious as well.
GKC: Well, to start, I suppose I should explain his transformation device. The Aura Driver. The Aura Driver is a full manifestation of his Aura condensed into a Driver. This represents his Semblance at its full power and it is his true Rider form. Honestly, the Aura Driver can be manifested by anyone in the world of Remnant. Unfortunately, it requires a certain degree of access to utilize, which comes in the form of the Aura Spheres. Aura Spheres are the crystallized form of a person's Aura given shape and represent what lies deep within their souls. For instance, Aaron's Aura Sphere represents his courage and inner fighting spirit as a hunter. Hence why his Rider Form is based on a wolf and it acts as his base form.
Aaron: This gives me cool abilities like night vision, enhanced speed, strength, agility, and the nifty ability to hear even the faintest of sounds.
GKC: Aura Spheres can be collected when a wielder of an Aura Driver has a special bond with an individual. This allows them to call upon an Aura Sphere directly from that bonded person's soul.
Fen: So an Aura Sphere can crystallize if Aaron's bond with say, Blake, for example, is strong enough, maybe a sort of Black Panther kind of thing?
Blake: Black… Panther? *starts to drool at the imagination* Me-yow~
GKC: Yes, yes, we all know that Black Panther is a hunk. You can fantasize about him later, kitty cat. As I was saying, yes, an Aura Sphere from someone like Blake would give Aaron as Kurenai access to a new form. What is that? Well, that would be spoiling.
Blake: A Black Panther form…
Aaron: Uh-oh…
Blake: Come here! *pounces Aaron with heart shapes floating away from the scene*
Aaron: No! What are you doing? No! Don't touch there! Bad kitty!
GKC: Uh… well, if any of you viewers have suggestions then we're always welcome to hear it. In the meantime, peace out, everybody!
Aaron: CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT PLEASE!?
