Chapter 12: Rose Alter! Azure Call! Part 1


[Beacon Academy]


The team was getting ready for the day. Orpheus was already dressed and on his scroll, texting someone.

"Geez, it's been two days and he texts her a lot," Orion commented.

"Yeah, it makes me wonder what happened to the real Orpheus," Kurogasa added. That earned him a pillow to the face. "Dude, I was kidding." He muffled out. Orpheus rolled his eyes and went back to texting.

"So what are you two talking about," Aaron asked curiously.

"It's not like that, Aaron," Orpheus said simply.

"That's not what I'm seeing."

"You guys are obviously talking about something," Orion added.

"That's none of your business."

"I think it might be if it were about Kamen Riders," Kurogasa said, peeking at Orpheus's Scroll.

"Oi! Mind your own business!" The musician pushed his partner away.

"Orpheus, why are you talking to her about us?!" Aaron asked.

"She was interested in Kamen Riders," Orpheus replied, "Besides, it's not like she can watch them here."

"Where exactly did she know the term then?" The team leader questioned.

"She didn't, she uh…" Orpheus said rubbing the back of his neck, "Might've seen me transform and asked me about it."

His teammates silently stared at him for a few seconds before… "EEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Are you serious?!" Aaron shouted.

"What?!" Orpheus asked confused.

"Dude, do you even realize the implications of what could happen if anyone outside of our group, other than RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY, found out about our identities?" Kurogasa asked.

"Here's a hint: His name rhymes with firewood!" Orion exclaimed.

Orpheus stared at them in silence.

"Aaron, please tell you built one of those MIB neuralizers?" Kurogasa said.

"Uh, no. I was more focused on building my personal Rider weapon, which is still under development." Aaron replied.

"Well, we need the neuralizer built first at this point! Our secret must remain a secret!" he said before he dashed into the Rider HQ and they could hear several construction noises from down below and tools being thrown around. Orpheus face palmed sighing.

"Look, Koa is a nice girl who has no one," Orpheus said, "Would you turn your back on her knowing nobody cares about her?"

"Well, no, and I admire that you care so much to help her. Excuse me…" Aaron said before rushing into the Rider HQ. "Oi! Get the hell out of my lab! Only I can touch those- DON'T MIX THOSE CHEMICALS TOGETHER!"

A large explosion followed as Orpheus sighed, "I hope Koa is having a better time than I am."


LINE BREAK


With Kurai, she was texting on her phone and giggling as she was watching cartoons on a stolen TV. Roman watched Kurai as he and Neo were counting Lien as well as Dust crates.

"Is it me or does Kurai seem a bit more…" Roman asked as he looked back at Kurai, "Cheerful?"

Neo looked at her before shrugging it off as if saying, 'Meh, let her do what she wants.'

"Eh you got a point," Roman said before looking around, "Wonder what the boss is doing…"

Meanwhile, in another part of the hideout, Azrael was putting together his nefarious plan. Oh, it was coming together oh so smoothly. He just had to do a bit of this, and then do a bit of that, and then it will be perfectly executed without a hitch. "Oh~ ye~s, it's all coming together. This will surely be the downfall of those pesky teams and those Riders. Why didn't I think of this before? It's pure genius, mwahahahaha…"

He then turned to a pile of files that contained information on a lot of Beacon Students. He shifted through a few before he found the perfect one, one that could become a worthy test subject.

"Oh, you will be so much fun to toy with." Azrael snickered.

"Enjoying your plans?"

"GAH!" Azrael freaked out as he jumped and looked to see Salem in his midst. "Now I know how Roman feels…" He muttered.

"What are you doing?" The Grimm Queen inquired.

"Not that it's any of your business but I'm trying to destroy the Riders and I'm using the human soul to assist me." The hooded man stated.

"Do not forget your true purpose, Azrael." Salem said in a calm yet powerful tone, "Failure won't be tolerated."

"I know, I know my role in this whole grand scheme of yours. Don't worry." Azrael waved off.

"Then I suggest making that little pet of yours useful," Salem added, "Unless you think of her as something other than a pet."

That made Azrael flinch and then grit his teeth, as Salem disappears into black mist. "KURAI!"

Kurai appears in front of Azrael with a salute, "Yes master?" She asked her master.

"I got a job for you."


LINE BREAK


Ruby was lost in thought as she munched on her favorite cookie. Today was a very special day, but Ruby wished it would already be over. Yang looked over at her sister and sighed, knowing what today was. She gave Ruby a hug, which Ruby happily returned.

"What's with Ruby?" Weiss asked Blake.

"Not sure, why?" Blake replied.

"She seems down, like more bummed than should be possible," Weiss said.

Suddenly, they were joined by JNPR and JOKR, Aaron and Kurogasa looking messy from the chemical explosion.

"What happened to you two?" Yang asked.

"Sticky fingers here played with science." Aaron gestured to Kurogasa. "Nearly killed us in the explosion."

"Shut up… I was trying to keep our secrets as Riders safe from Orphee's girlfriend…" Kurogasa grumbled.

"I said not to call me Orphee!" He shouted, "And she's not my girlfriend!"

"With how much you're texting her, totally your girlfriend." Orion rolled his eyes. Orpheus bopped him on the head as he walked off.

"I think you made him mad," Ruby pointed out.

"Thank you for the obvious, Ruby…" Orion mumbled as he rubbed his head.

"So uh… what's up?" Jaune asked.

"Oh, uh, nothing much," Ruby replied with a smile but her eyes told a different story.

Orion noticed his girlfriend's sour mood, "Ruby, come on. You can tell us anything. We're your friends."

The young reaper opened her mouth to speak but hesitated and took off in a run, leaving her friends behind in bewilderment.

"Ruby!" Yang called out to her sister. But Ruby said nothing as she left the group confused.

"What was that about?" Nora wondered.

Aaron rubbed his chin thoughtfully then glanced at Yang, "Yang, is there something about today that holds some significance to you and Ruby?"

"Yeah… something like that…" Yang nodded solemnly. Everyone looked at her confused, but the rest of Team JOKR seemed to know what's up.

"You don't think…" Kurogasa muttered softly to Orion.

"It would explain a lot though…" The elder Arc twin admitted.

Aaron tapped his cheek then snapped his fingers, "I've got it!"

"Huh?" Everyone looked to Aaron in confusion.

"What do we all know about Ruby?" He asked with a grin.

"She likes… cookies?" Nora guessed unsurely.

"She's a weapon's maniac?" Jaune added.

"Oh! She also likes strawberries!" Orion stated.

Aaron nodded in agreement, "Good, good. Now, what say we combine all three together… into something that will turn her frown upside down?"

"Like… some kind of strawberry flavored cookie shaped like Crescent Rose?" Ren raised an eyebrow, making everyone turn to Ren as if he had two heads.

"Correct!" Aaron exclaimed loudly.

"Please tell me we're not making it life-sized…" Kurogasa sweatdropped. Aaron's grin becoming wider was all he needed to know. "You are, aren't you."

"You make it sound as if it's impossible."

"Oh boy…"

"You should know by now that when I make something clear, nothing is impossible for me!" Aaron declared.


LINE BREAK


Ruby was sitting alone on a bench sobbing. Today tortured the poor girl to no end.

"Why?! Why did it have to be today?" Ruby sniffled. She hated that this day was a very painful reminder.

"Is someone feeling a little down?" A familiar voice said, sending chills down Ruby's spine. She turned around and leaning against a tree is Kurai. Ruby noticed the armor around her legs was gone, leaving only bandages.

"You?! B-But Kuro killed you!" Ruby said fearfully.

"Thanks for the reminder, Red…" Kurai said as she grabbed Ruby, "Because you and I are going on a little trip." Ruby tried to squirm in the Greeed's bonds, but to no avail, "Geez, I didn't expect you to be this defenseless." Ruby stopped squirming and sighed in defeat. Kurai was unaware that she was texting her friends as the Greeed carried her to the helipad. Kurai suddenly heard voices behind her and turned to see Ruby's friends running towards her. Kurai then held Ruby like a shield as she pointed her claws at her neck, "One more step and this helipad will be stained red."

"Release the girl or we'll clobber you!" Orion threatened.

"HAH! Like I've heard that before!"

"Next time I won't hesitate to kill you…" Kurogasa growled as he was about to transform.

"Kuro, wait," Aaron said.

"But-"

"If you transform, she'll kill Ruby!" The crimson-eyed teen glared at Kurogasa. Kurogasa sighed and glared at Kurai.

"Good boy. Normally I would've stabbed you for breaking my Medal, but my Master expects victory!" She said confidently as a Bullhead landed and Kurai walked into it with her hostage.

"This isn't over, Kurai!" Aaron called out.

"Keep telling yourself that!" Kurai said before she and Ruby boarded the Bullhead and flew off. However, Pyrrha for some reason used her weapon in Rifle Mode and aimed at the Bullhead, shooting something at the back as it attached itself.

"What was-" Jaune began.

"Tracking device. Aaron wanted me to shoot it."

"I figured since Kurai was here for a specific reason, it would've helped if I had a tracking device placed on her. Thankfully, Ruby's message helped give me the idea to do so." Aaron clarified.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's follow!" Yang said, punching her Ember Celica gauntlets together.


LINE BREAK


Kurai carried Ruby, who was tied up and blindfolded to avoid her knowing where she is, into the warehouse and bowed in front of her master.

"Lord Azrael, I have brought little Red like you asked," Kurai said with a smile.

Azrael walked towards Kurai with a smile, and then he held out a hand. It revealed itself to be four random Core Medals, plus her Wani Medal that was fixed but still a tad cracked. "Excellent work. Here is your Core Medal and a few extra."

Kurai gleefully took the Core Medals and examines the four. They looked to be a Taka, Unagi, Zou, and Kamakiri Core Medal. "I live to serve you, master!" She said as she absorbed each Core Medal, which made her stronger. Azrael then turned his attention to Ruby, who looked rather uneasy, as he took off her blindfold.

"Now, my adorable young friend, what is it that you desire?" He asked her.

"W-What do you mean?" Ruby asked warily.

"Tell me, sweet girl," The hooded man spoke as he sat in a chair across from her. "Do you miss your mother?"

Ruby gasped. "H-How did you-"

"Know about that? My dear girl, you should never underestimate me. I studied each and every student at Beacon Academy, including you and your sister. Or should I say, half-sister." Azrael interjected. "Ruby Rose. Age: 15. Hobbies: Weapon maintenance and video games. Favorite food: Cookies and strawberries. Place of birth: Patch. Father: Taiyang Xiao Long. Mother: Summer Rose…" He looked at a picture that displayed what looked to be a carbon look-alike of Ruby but outfitted in a white cloak instead of a red one. "Quite a lovely specimen your mother was. And a team leader to boot."

"What are you trying to tell me?" Ruby asked.

"Right, right. I was getting to that." Azrael said. "What if I told you I had the power to resurrect your mother?"

Ruby gasped loudly at that. She… could be revived?

"Oho~ piqued your interest, have I?"

"But… her last mission…" Ruby got out. Her last mission was so secretive, even Ozpin himself was in the dark.

"You never stopped to think as to what happened to her? Did you think she ran away? Or that she disappeared without a trace? No… she died." Azrael stated.

"No… you're lying…" Ruby whispered in disbelief. "There's no way she died… she disappeared. You have no proof that she died!"

"But if she did disappear, wouldn't she have returned to her family?" Azrael said coyly. Ruby opened her mouth to retort but stopped realizing he had a point. The only evidence she had was that she left and never returned. "If you still don't believe me, I could always show an image of what happened to her."

Ruby said nothing.

"But back to my earlier question… Do you want to see her again?" He inquired with a hidden smirk.

"I… I…"

"Come now, speak up. You'll never get anywhere if you don't hold a conversation."

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

"Tch…" Azrael clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Just what I need…" He snapped his fingers, summoning forth different Hybrids to his side. "Go slow down the intruders. I don't want them to interfere." The hybrids nodded in understanding and took off to deal with the threat. "Roman! Neo! Get over here!"

Roman and Neo appear in front of him, "Yeah boss?"

"Take the White Fang in the base and leave for one of the other hideouts. This place is compromised so we have no more need for it." Azrael ordered.

"Shall I arm the charges too?" Roman inquired.

The hooded man thought about it before shrugging, "Ah, why not. The place deserves to go out with a bang. In the meantime…" Glowing yellow eyes returned to the young girl still bound in a chair. "What is your answer, child?"

Ruby pondered her answer as Roman and Neo escaped. She heard her friends outside, which made her hesitant.

"Answer me, now!" Azrael ordered.

"I-I want to see my mother again!" Ruby screams out.

The hooded man smirked then began to chuckle before it turned into full-blown laughter, "Wonderful! Most wonderful, Ruby Rose! Then allow me to grant you the power to see your mother once more!" Azrael declared as his right hand pulsed with dark energy before he thrusts his palm forward… directly into Ruby's chest. However, instead of piercing through flesh and organs, Azrael's hand delved deep within the confines of Ruby's soul as the dark energy began to seep into it. Corroding and morphing the girl's soul until it was a malformed alteration of the original.

"KYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"


LINE BREAK


"KYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"RUBY!" Orion shouted.

"Dammit, are we too late?" Kurogasa gritted his teeth.

"NOOOOO!" Yang screamed as she plowed through the remaining grunts and hybrids with her own strength.

"Yang, wait!" Aaron called out to the brawler before he cursed. "Damn! Everyone, double-time it!" He ordered while punching a grunt in the face with his gauntlet.

"It's hammer time!" Nora shouted as she whacked one of the Hybrids away.

"Hyah! HAH~!" Kurogasa shouted, swinging his Kage Ryuujin at a few hybrids, before switching to rifle mode and fired multiple bullets on more Hybrids, shooting those up in the air. "Pyrrha!"

Pyrrha used her semblance to send metal stuff into the hybrids. As JNPR distracted the remaining baddies, WBY and JOKR went to the source of the screaming. Inside, they saw Azrael next to Ruby, who hung her head.

"Ruby!" The rest of Team RWBY plus Orion cried out.

"Azrael! You bastard!" Aaron glared hatefully at the hooded man. "What did you do to her?!"

"Me? Why I don't know what you mean."

"Quit screwing around!" Orpheus shouted. He fired a few shots that Azrael dodged, giving Yang and Orion time to get Ruby.

"Ruby? Hey, Ruby!" Orion tried to rouse his girlfriend.

"Come on, sis! Wake up!" Yang pleaded.

Ruby slowly raised her head, eliciting smiles on the two teens' faces before they morphed into horror when they noticed Ruby's eyes… how instead of silver, they were a malicious yellow. Ruby smirked as she grabs them both by the neck and began to lift them off the ground despite her size.

"Ack! R-Ruby!" Orion choked.

"Hey, Orion, can I ask you a favor?" 'Ruby' asked in a cutesy tone that was filled with malicious intent. "Can you die for me?"

Orion and Yang were shocked as she threw them towards Kurogasa and Orpheus. Ruby cackled as the center of her chest glowed with a venomous red light until it began to form briar roses that spread around the girl's body, overtaking her until she became a monstrous nightmare.

"R-Ruby?" Jaune got out.

"Oh, gods…" Pyrrha gasped in horror, the pupil in her eyes shrinking rather considerably.

Once the briars disappeared, it revealed a monstrous creature that resembled a humanoid rose with the attire of a grim reaper. Her entire body, though feminine, was made out of a thick plant-based skin that was black in color. She had wicked claws that had rose thorns growing on the knuckles, spiky red boots with small blades at the toes and ankles, thorn-based shoulder guards, a red tattered cloak with the hood pulled up over a misshapen and deformed skull with glowing yellow eyes, and she wielded a wicked scythe that could almost be called Crescent Rose's bastard child.

"Yes! YES! I have finally unlocked the power within the human soul!" Azrael declared with a mad cackle. He turned to face the two huntsmen teams. "Children, I give to you a new lifeform… the Alter!"

The Rose Alter released a high-pitched scream that forced the teens to cover their ears due to how painful it sounded. The Alter then began to dash around the battlefield in a flurry of rose petals.

"Ruby's speed…" Aaron said surprised as he and the others were getting pelted by multiple attacks. At the last attack, Rose Alter sent everyone back with a large wave of her scythe.

"Dammit, this is worse than me turning into Another Gaim." Kurogasa gritted. "No, it's like… she's a Servant!"

"Ruby…" Orion said as he stared at the Alter that began to cackle in a distorted version of the woman he cared about.

"Finish them off, my darling creation!" Azrael ordered Rose Alter.

"Kisama!" Kurogasa shouted as he rushed towards Azrael, but Rose Alter suddenly got in front of him, surprising him. Before long, Rose Alter grabbed him and was thrown to the other side, crashing into the wall, doing a spit take.

"KURO!" Weiss cried out.

"I've studied your moves and how you react in situations. Frankly, the only reason you managed to beat me so far is because of those new Drivers you possessed. But that all ends here thanks to the two of you…" Azrael gestured to Aaron and Kurogasa. "You've both given me a new way to create monsters and it all starts by adding a little darkness into the human soul."

"You sick bastard…" Blake hissed at him.

"You call me sick, I call it a win. But I couldn't completely corrupt the girl without finding what her heart truly desires. And what more does a child want then to be in the arms of her mother?" Azrael said in a mocking tone.

"What?" Yang gasped.

"So that's what this is all about?! Using her desires to kill us!?" Aaron spat out.

"Oh no, far from it. She's merely an experiment. I wanted to test if I could corrode the human soul by offering them something that they wish most of all. In young Ruby Rose's case… it was the revival of her dead mother."

"?!" Everyone gasped in shock.

"Revive…" Orpheus got out.

"Summer Rose…?" Aaron managed to say. "Like hell, you can!"

"On the contrary, I actually can." Azrael retorted with a smirk.

"Don't think…" Kurogasa growled as he managed to stand up from his fall. "For a second, you can play God! It's against the laws of nature…!"

"Stupid brat! And what would you call yourselves?!" Azrael spat with disgust as he glared at Team JOKR. "You were all supposed to die in your world but Oum decided to give you a chance and revived you in this one. Do you think you can spout playing God at me? Considering you're nothing more than invaders inhabiting the bodies of those that truly lived on this planet!"

"It doesn't matter to me!" Orion retorted. "I don't care if I'm an invader… a zombie… or even a spirit… All I care about is protecting Ruby from creeps like you!" He stood up, brandishing his sword before he charged at Azrael with a battle cry.

"Did you really forget about my attack dog?" Azrael inquired without even looking. Before Orion could swing Lunar Divide at the hooded man, Rose Alter came in with her scythe and slashed the elder Arc twin across the chest, bypassing both his Aura and his armor as a spray of scarlet blood splattered against the concrete.

"Orion!" Jaune cried out as he charged at Azrael. But then something sent him flying with a kick, revealing itself to be Kurai, decked out in new armor.

"You fools will never touch my master," Kurai said as her words dripped like venom.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha cries out as she ran to Jaune who was gripping his shield arm.

"My arm!" Jaune hissed in pain as he held his limp shield arm. Pyrrha tried to focus her aura onto his arm, while the others glared at Kurai.

"Like my new look? My master rewarded me with more power!" Kurai said as she made a few poses. The riders saw around her neck was a feathered scarf, eel themed shoulder pads, mantis themed gauntlets, a skirt that was crocodile jaws, and a pair of elephant themed greaves, "I think I pull off this look."

"I think the dead look suits you better!" Kurogasa spat. Kurai waved a finger.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Kurai said smugly before bowing to her master, "Master, shall I eliminate them?"

"No," Azrael stated, "Let my newest creation deal with them."

"As you wish," Kurai said with a bow.

The Rose Alter walked slowly towards the group, her scythe dragging across the ground making sparks. Aaron grits his teeth, knowing that if they attack recklessly they might hurt or, worse, kill Ruby.

"Ruby!" A voice called out, stopping Rose Alter as she turned to face a wounded Orion, who was struggling to stand despite the injury he received. "Don't you turn your back on me! If you…" He held his bleeding wound with one hand. "If you don't stop now, I'll take all your cookies and eat them myself!"

The Alter's body trembled before she let out another unholy screech. Our heroes clutched their ears in pain as they saw the Alter heading for Orion.

"Orion!" His friends cried out in shock.

The cap-wearing knight quickly brought up his sword for defense as Rose Alter swung her scythe at him. The moment the scythe blade struck Lunar Divide, the large sword began to crack… then shattered into different pieces as the scythe struck deep into flesh once more. Orion gasped in pain as blood spurted from his wounds and out his mouth. The Alter then began to sweep up Orion into a tornado of rose petals and briars.

Orpheus looked at his leader, "Aaron, we can't keep fighting any longer! If we don't retreat now, we'll lose Orion!"

Aaron gritted his teeth but took the musician's counsel seriously, "Alright, everyone! We're retreating! Weiss, we need a smokescreen!"

Weiss nodded and made a huge ice glyph.

"Yang, firepower!" Aaron gestured to the glyph. Yang roared as she punched the glyph, turning it into a large plume of mist and steam.

Kurai got in front of Azrael to protect him from the plume as he held up his cloak for protection. The Alter swung her scythe, which blew the smokescreen away. Once it was clear, the teams, as well as Orion, were all gone, leaving nothing save for the blood splatter on the floor.

"They've fled," Kurai said, stating the obvious. Azrael began to chuckle before going into full out evil laughter. Kurai was a bit confused, so she just nervously chuckled.

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect! I now have the ultimate weapon against any Kamen Rider!" Azrael laughed as he gestured to the Rose Alter, which stood in place and awaited orders. Kurai also stood at attention next to the Alter as Azrael raised both hands as if he was a priest giving a sermon, "We will raise an army of Alters, and then our destiny will be fulfilled."

"And uh, what is that destiny?" Kurai asked curiously.

A paper fan smacked the Greeed on the head, courtesy of Azrael, "That's not for you to know yet."

Kurai rubbed her head, as the Alter began to chuckle in amusement.

"And for doing such a good job, my new pet," Azrael reached behind his back before pulling out a cookie. "You get a treat." He hands it over to Rose Alter. It greedily took it and munched on it happily.


LINE BREAK


The three teams waited outside the infirmary. After returning back to Beacon, Team JOKR brought the injured Orion to the nurse, who quickly shuffled the boy onto a cot while the doctors worked after sending the rest of the children out. They each were taking this loss rather personally because not only did they lose, they lost to a monster made from their friend. One person took this loss more than anyone, as the blonde boxer walked away from the group. Blake tried to go after her, but a hand from Weiss made her stop as the heiress shook her head.

"Kuso!" Kurogasa banged his fist against the wall. "What do we do now!?" Aaron said nothing, as Kurogasa banged his fist against the wall again. "DAMMIT AARON, I SAID WHAT DO WE DO!?"

"I DON'T KNOW, OKAY!?" Aaron snapped back. That took his friends, WB, and JNPR by surprise.

"Che… well, I ain't taking this lying down. Some leader you are." Kurogasa scoffed as he stormed off. The others look over at each other before walking away too, leaving Aaron all alone. Aaron sighed as he leaned against the wall and slid down, feeling the gravity of this failure. He roared as he punched the ground over and over again. With Yang, she locked the door to her dorm and began to break down in sorrow.


LINE BREAK


Meanwhile, Ozpin had heard what Weiss and Blake in his office informing him of what had happened to Ruby before telling them to leave. The headmaster could only stay silent as he furrowed his brows and frowned heavily. This was not supposed to happen, and yet one of his own students fell prey to JOKR's enemies, and all for one end of the bargain, to supposedly revive Summer Rose. He knew the girl's mother, in fact, she was one of the brightest during her days at Beacon Academy. But when she disappeared, even Ozpin was in the dark as to why she did. He took out a picture from his drawer and saw Team STRQ. He sighed as he stared at the picture. If anything had happened to Ruby now, it would all be his fault and be the latest victim in his battle with Salem. So now it's his duty to make sure this never happens again. And it starts now.

"Glynda,"

["Yes?"]

"Contact Qrow. Tell him to abort his previous mission and have him come to Beacon immediately."

Elsewhere, Kurai and the Rose Alter were walking towards Vale, their visors glowing with malice.

"It involves Ruby."
