Chapter 14: Beacon's Battle of the Bands


[Beacon Academy]


"I'm sorry, sir. Did I hear that right?" Glynda had the gall to drop her jaw at such a ridiculous proposal. From Ozpin, of all people.

"Yes, I believe that after all that has happened so far, something like this would brighten the spirits of our students and Vale alike," Ozpin explained. "It will be a student fundraiser to help with construction expenses."

"Professor Ozpin, I don't think this is a good idea right now. Students still have classes this semester and they can't exactly balance schoolwork and band practice at the same time." Glynda pointed out.

"True. But remember that a school break will be starting next week." Ozpin reminded his assistant. "And besides, at the end of the day, they're still kids. Why not let them act as such?"

Glynda gave him a hard glare, before sighing in defeat.

"I'll notify the other teachers…" She said, turning to leave.


LINE BREAK


Orpheus was sitting in his bed with his hands in his face. Today just wasn't a good day for him and for good reason too. He turned his head to reveal Koa sleeping peacefully in his bed, all bandaged up the best he could. But what surprised him was that she was bleeding Cell Medals. It didn't take long for him to put two and two together that Koa was actually Kurai.

"Great… what am I gonna do?" He sighed.

His mind drifted back to that moment when he found her, all alone in that alley.


Flashback


"K… Koa?" Orpheus managed to get out. The girl slowly opened an eye, which began to fill up with tears and hatred.

"Yo… r… Fa… lt." She manages to get out.

"Eh?" Orpheus said trying to get closer.

"It's… ALL YOUR FAULT!" Koa screamed at the top of her lungs, before trying to punch him. He barely had time to dodge as Koa fell into the water in pain. "You and your Rider friends took everything from me!"

"Wait, you're…"

"Yeah, I'm Kurai! Are you happy?! Are you happy that you have your happy ending!?" She spat venomously. "Because of you, I'm useless to Master Azrael! I'm nothing anymore!"

She struggled to stand and swiped at him, more Cell Medals bleeding from her body, "Wait! Stop moving or else you'll lose more Medals!"

"I don't care what happens to me anymore!" Koa said as she fell back onto the wet ground, getting soaked, "I just want to kill at least one of you damned Riders!"

She struggled to get up and tried to throw one last punch to his chest.

*TAP*

It did little effect, as she lost the strength she had and went unconscious. Orpheus looked at Koa, before calling Aaron on his scroll.

"Aaron, we have a problem!" Orpheus said when he picked up.

["What's the problem?"]

Orpheus opened his mouth to say something but hesitated when he looked down at Koa. After a few minutes of pondering, he spoke once again, "It's Koa, she's badly hurt and in need of medical attention."


End Flashback


"Maybe I should've told them the truth…" Orpheus sighed again. He then heard a groan and turned to see Koa waking up.

"Ugh… where?" Koa groaned as she slowly got up. She then looked around and flinched when she saw Orpheus, "YOU!"

"Are you ok? Nothing aching?" Orpheus asked.

She then saw the bandages on her body then looked down with a weak chuckle, "Am I your prisoner now? Waiting for your friends to execute me?"

"That's… well, not exactly."

"So why help me? You should have let me die." Koa said, bringing her knees to her chest, "It would have been justified…"

"Maybe… but I know not to kick someone when they're down." Orpheus said. Koa looked at him for a bit, until they heard the door open. They turned to see the rest of Team JOKR, team RWBY, and JNPR too.

"Hey," Kurogasa waved. "Just thought we-'' He then paused when they saw Koa and lying on her bed sheets were… Cell Medals?

"Oh hey, do you know what these coins are?" Koa said, pulling her usual acting, "I keep finding them across town."

They all looked at each other, remembering that a lot of Yummies were created in the last encounter. Maybe they missed a few Cell Medals. Kurogasa however, wasn't buying it. "RWBY, JNPR, leave the room for a moment. Now." He said seriously. The eight were taken aback by his seriousness. "Now!" He snapped, causing them to close the door.

"Orpheus," He said, before unsheathing Kage Ryuujin pointing it at Koa. "Tell me… this is not Kurai."

"WHAT!?" Aaron and Orion shouted before immediately donning their Aura Drivers. Orpheus quickly got in front of Koa as she stared at the three in fear and surprise.

"Orpheus, why are they angry at me?" Koa said.

"Don't bullshit your way out of this one!" Kurogasa snapped. "I see right through your lies! You can't fool me or the rest of us!"

Koa began to tremble as the blade was inches from her face. Tears began welling up in her eyes, making Orion and Aaron think that she was telling the truth.

"Kuro, stop!" Orpheus said.

"C'mon, you can't possibly tell me she isn't Kurai! It doesn't take a scientist to put two and two together. Her injuries, Cell Medals next to her, not a coincidence!"

Aaron put a hand on Kurogasa's shoulder, giving him a hard glare. "That's enough, Kururugi!"

"Yeah, think man," Orion added, "You're probably being paranoid from the last battle!"

"Tch…" Kurogasa clicked his tongue in annoyance. After looking at Koa for a while longer, he sheathed his blade. "Fine, but I'm keeping an eye on her just in case."

"Um… can we come in now?" Ruby said, the door muffling her voice. Kurogasa sighed and opened the door, letting everyone in.

"What's with the mood all of a sudden?" Nora pouted.

"Kuro's paranoid that Koa is actually Kurai." Orion sighed.

"WHAT!?" they all shouted, readying their weapons and immediately getting in front of Ruby.

"Did I do something wrong again?" Koa said tilting her head. Everyone deflated at that remark.

"Guys, relax. There's no way she's Kurai." Aaron sighed.

"I don't know." Yang doubted. "She fooled me once and I almost got blinded, ain't gonna happen again."

"Come on guys, give her a chance," Ruby said with a smile, "Orpheus seems to trust her, so I will trust her too."

"That's the spirit," Orion said with a smile. The others looked at each other and then put their weapons away. Kurogasa eyes Koa as the group began chatting with her.


LINE BREAK


"A Battle of the Bands?" Kurogasa said, looking at the flyer.

"Yeah, it's supposed to be a charity event for rebuilding the city," Weiss explained.

"This is great! We can show off our awesomeness!" Nora said excitedly.

"It would be a change of pace that we needed," Pyrrha added.

"Aww yeah, we can pull off some awesome heavy metal!" Yang said with a fist pump. Then the group gathered around and began talking all about the bands when a voice caused them all to pause in surprise.

"What's a battle of the bands?" The voice was Koa, who was in a wheelchair thanks to Beacon's medical services.

"Um… well, it's uh…" Jaune said, trying to come up with an explanation.

"Think of it as a competition," Orpheus explained. "Groups of people perform in a band and the audience judges who they like best."

"Yeah. Hey, how come you don't know what that is?" Yang asked.

"My… Father believed stuff like that is merely a distraction." Koa said with a bit of bitterness.

"Your dad sounds like an old-timer," Orion pointed out.

"He's… a hard man to please." Koa said fiddling with her thumbs. Weiss felt a twinge in her heart, remembering that her father was also like that.

"Well, don't worry about it," Aaron assured the girl. "We've all had those moments in life. That's why it's best to be with friends!"

'Friends…' Koa thought, before looking at the group, "How do we play this Battle of the Bands?"

This was gonna take a while to explain.


LINE BREAK


Neo was looking at her scroll, a sad expression on her face. The Scroll was showing a picture of her and Kurai having a good time. Roman places a hand on Neo's shoulder before she hugged him in sadness. Roman turned to Azrael, who was looking for a new, more effective underling to create.

"So, boss, what now?" Roman asked the hooded man.

"With Kurai gone, I must look to a new underling that will not fail me this time," Azrael said as he shifted through his book to find a more efficient monster. A monster made of desire simply won't be enough. It needs to be something that will obey his every command and get the job done the first time around. He shifted through countless pages until he found the perfect one. "This will have to do until I can come up with a better lackey."


LINE BREAK


"Man, these band names suck." Kurogasa groaned, throwing yet another paper ball into the trash can.

"Geez, who knew coming up with a band name would be this difficult?" Orion added as he laid his head down on his desk.

"This is a disaster…" Aaron groaned, "Hey Orpheus did you think of anything?" Orpheus was under a pile of paper balls, a few Koa was happily tossing for fun. "Great, nothing…"

"I hope Team RWBY has it better than we are." Kurogasa sighed.

"Considering only one of them can sing, I dread to even know…" Aaron stated.


With our quartet of Huntresses in training…


"UGH THIS SUCKS!" Yang groaned as she bangs her head on the desk.

"I wrote ten pages worth of band names and still nothing!" Ruby cried anime tears. "My head hurts~!"

"I hate to ask but can anyone besides Weiss sing?" Blake said rubbing her temples.

"Kuro sings, but… his songs are strangely tasteful," Weiss said.

"Whaddya mean?" Yang looked at the heiress.

"Well, he sings in a language I've never heard of but it's… well, it's not bad it's just hard to understand."

"You don't say?" Yang said intrigued.

"Truth be told, I heard him sing a song while he was playing the piano back home. In fact, I have a video recorded on my scroll."

"Lemme see, lemme see, lemme see, lemme see, lemme see!" Ruby said excitedly, trying to reach for Weiss's scroll. Weiss was trying to keep her best friend from trampling her.

"Okay, I'll let you see just stop crowding me." Weiss huffed. Once Ruby behaved like a good girl, her team members gathered around and Weiss played the video. She was secretly recording Kurogasa in the music room of their mansion as he was at the piano, playing a piece of music she had never heard of before.

Ruby, Yang, and Blake were in complete shock and awe as they listened to his music. The words he sang were unlike anything they've ever heard. It was complex yet mesmerizing. Even though the only words they got out of that song were Light of my Wish, they assumed it was about someone wishing for something deep within their heart.

"Wow…" Ruby said with starstruck eyes.

"It's… beautiful…" Blake added, though mostly at a loss for words.

"Damn, I don't know what he's saying but that's a pretty nice beat," Yang admitted. That's when a light bulb lit up in Ruby's mind.

"I got it!" Ruby exclaimed. "Let's ask Kurogasa to teach us to sing like that!"

"Wait, what?" Weiss looked at Ruby incredulously. "You mean… we sing in that… strange language?"

"Why not? It sounds nice and he's bound to know some songs that he can teach us!" Ruby said with enthusiasm.

"Well… I guess it's worth a shot." Blake said. "What do you think, Yang?"

"Oh, I'm definitely in!" The buxom blonde pumped her fist in acknowledgment with a big grin on her face.


LINE BREAK


"I'm sorry, what?" Kurogasa blinked owlishly as did the rest of JOKR.

"We want you to teach us how to sing!" Ruby, Blake, and Yang repeated.

"Um… why are you specifically asking me?"

"Oh, Weiss showed us a video of you playing a song in a weird language we've never heard of before," Ruby answered.

"You recorded me!?" Kurogasa looked at Weiss very scandalized.

"I couldn't help it! It sounded so beautiful." The heiress admitted with a small blush on her cheeks.

Kurogasa sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I need to lock my room more often." But then he realized what they were really asking. "Wait, you want me to teach you four how to sing in Japanese?"

"Japanese?" Team RWBY parroted.

"Is that what that strange language is?" Weiss asked.

"Yeah. It's Japanese. It's the language of my country from my old world called Japan, often called 'The Land of the Rising Sun'."

"And there he goes again…" Orpheus mumbled.

"Can you teach us?" Ruby asked with bright eyes.

"Well, I could, but I better warn you girls. It's a very complex language, with complex words and intonation differences that give words different meanings, and whatnot. You have to be really dedicated to this. Are you really sure?"

"Dude, you're looking at one of the best teams in the whole school. We got this!" Yang said with enthusiasm.

"I don't see why we shouldn't," Blake added.

Kurogasa then looked to his sister, "Weiss?"

"You know I don't back down from a challenge."

"Alright then, starting tomorrow, after classes, I, Kururugi-sensei will be teaching you the Japanese language."

"Looks like an otaku fantasy is coming true for him," Orion muttered to Aaron.

"Just don't mention it or he'll get an even bigger head to go with his ego." The JOKR team leader whispered back.


LINE BREAK


The next day…

After all their classes were done for the day, Team RWBY met up at the Riders' base and there Kurogasa was waiting for him, and arranged for them, were four desks in a row.

"Yōkoso, welcome," Kurogasa smirked. "Please take your seats ladies. We have a lot to cover." The girls took their seats and waited for their teacher in the art of the Japanese language to begin their lesson. "Now, before we begin, I thought I'd like to give you all a small present." He said, before pulling out paper nameplates, each slim and rectangular folded neatly in half, "These are your names in Japanese." He said, before placing them in front of them.

ルビ ローズ - Ruby Rose

ワイス シュニー - Weiss Schnee

ブレイク ベラドンナ - Blake Belladonna

ヤング シャオロング - Yang Xiao Long

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeee…" Ruby squealed in delight.

"Lovely," Weiss smiled.

"Interesting," Blake nodded in acceptance.

"Cool…" Yang looked at her nameplate in interest.

"He's totally eating this up," Orion rolled his eyes as he was sitting on a lounge chair, reading a magazine from the side.

"We've created a monster," Orpheus remarked as he played on his scroll.

"Now then, hajime mashou, let's begin," Kurogasa said.

And so for the first days, Team RWBY learned the basics of the Japanese language, the hiragana, the katakana, pronouncing each syllable and writing them out. Then they worked on the small words and phrases that would be used in everyday situations, in school or at home, etc., even working on their numbers, and the honorifics. Then they moved on to sentence structures writing them out correctly with the correct stroke marks before moving on to the advanced lessons. Of course, given the timeframe they were given before the Battle of the Bands, Kurogasa has to cram these lessons together. In a sense, he's teaching the girls in a cram school. Most of those classes, they would have to talk to each other in Japanese in order to get better and doing over activities that involve using the Japanese language. Let's see their progress now, shall we?

First up, Ruby Rose.

"Ohaiyo Gosai mattsu!" Ruby tried to say.

"It's Ohayou Gozaimasu," Kurogasa corrected.

"Doh!" Ruby said comically.

"Don't worry, Rubes," Orion said, "Try to sound it out. It'll come to you soon."

"Okay Weiss, you try it," Kurogasa said.

"D-Domo… Watashi Ga Weiss Schnee." Weiss tried greeting.

"Not bad. But when you're greeting someone for the first time, you say, Hajimemashite. Watashi ga Weiss Schnee desu." Kurogasa explains. Weiss nodded in understanding as she took notes. Blake herself seems to be the most successful, taking up Japanese like she was born with it.

"Hajimemashite, watashi ga Blake Belladonna desu. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu." Blake said.

"Yoku dekimashita, very good!" Kurogasa smiled. "You're a natural."

Blake gave a smile as the others stared at her.

As for Yang, however… well… she could really use some work.

"T-Toyota Hyundai… Gojira?" Yang flubbed her words.

"You are an embarrassment right now, Yang," Orpheus bluntly said. Yang banged her head against the table in shame.

"Excuse me but this is hard!" Yang retorted.

"Come on, Yang," Aaron patted the girl's shoulder. "You can do this. You've just gotta do what you've always hated to do… Study!"

"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


LINE BREAK


Orpheus tossed Koa over his shoulder and onto the mat causing her to cry out in pain. Orpheus and Koa convinced the team that she needed practice in order to become a better fighter.

"Ow…" Koa groaned.

"You're being too aggressive," Orpheus stated. "Charging in recklessly will not help you in a fight."

"Well excuse me if my fighting style mopped the floor a few times," Koa retorted.

"That's because you were going on instinct. You weren't fighting like a trained warrior."

Koa sighed as Orpheus helped her up. "Let's go again. But this time, try to let go of your instincts."

The two walked back to their corners and got into fighting stances. The two circled each other, ready for whatever one of them may throw at the other. Koa charged forward with a few jabs and a couple of kicks. Orpheus blocked them and sent a few punches right back at her to which Koa blocked a few. Koa tried a new approach as she got onto her hands to send multiple kicks towards Orpheus. He blocked a few but still got hit as he threw a kick to trip up her hands. She fell but quickly recovered to give Orpheus a dropkick that he blocked. She then tripped him up and pinned him down in one fluid motion.

"I win!" Koa said happily. But after a while, she looked down in sadness.

"What's wrong? Didn't you want to win?" Orpheus inquired.

"Yeah, but…" Koa said looking down, "Usually I would be praised by my father…" Orpheus looks at her as he gets up. "Nowadays I feel like every victory reminds me that I was useless..."

"Well, you can't get better if you don't lose every now and then. If you won too much then you'd never learn from your mistakes then you get cocky and that sort of attitude can cost someone their life." The musician stated.

"It still hurts that I was cast aside," Koa said, "After the pain and the torment." Orpheus puts her in a one-arm hug as she began to tear up. "I hate that I couldn't do anything to please him. I meant nothing to him."

Meanwhile, Kurogasa was leaning against the wall next to the entrance. He was listening to Koa's story, and he felt a bit of sympathy for her. He too felt that powerlessness when it came to his cruel father Jacques. 'Maybe I am being too paranoid about her.' Kurogasa thought.

"Ok, let's try again," Koa said, getting up.

Orpheus looked at the girl in confusion, "You sure? We don't have to keep going."

"Yeah. I need this." Koa said getting up with a giggle, "You won't always be there to save me, Orphee."

"Orphee janai! Orpheus da!"

Koa giggles at Orpheus's outburst, "How bout Pheephee then?" Koa said as she threw a kick, which was grabbed by Orpheus, "Uh oh…"

Orpheus had a smile on his face that was anything but kind, "I hope you don't mind me hurting you now."

"Meep…" Koa manages to squeak out before the screen blacks out.

*BAP POW WHACK BONK SMACK KICK SLAP!*


LINE BREAK


Weeks later…

"Alright, you actually got your Japanese down pretty good. Otsukaresan, good job." Kurogasa smiled in satisfaction.

"Arigato, sensei!" Team RWBY replied in unison while speaking in perfect Japanese.

Koa watches them as the team walked out, she was about to leave when Ruby took her hand. "Come with us, Koa."

"Eh?" Koa said confused.

"We're getting some outfits for the band," Weiss explained, "And you're coming with us."

"EH?! Wait- No! Orpheus, help me~!" Koa said as she was getting dragged away.

"Sorry, you're on your own for that, Koa!" The musician called out, knowing the dangers of shopping with women.

Later, Koa was facing the worst kind of torment imaginable. She walked out of the dressing room wearing an orange dress and a sun hat. The other girls squealed at the cuteness of Koa, as they held multiple sets of clothing.

"Someone end this nightmare…" Koa muttered.

"Girls, girls, how about you allow a certain fashionista to make your costumes?" Aaron suggested.

"Yeah, good idea…" Ruby said in agreement, knowing their sense of fashion was better than anyone else's.

"Anything would be better than this hell," Koa added.

As the girls left, Kurogasa sat at his teacher's desk looking very serious as he bridged his hands together like a certain man from NGE. "Gentlemen, I've made a terrible and grave error…"

"What are you talking about?" Orion asked.

"This world…" Kurogasa muttered seriously before his face suddenly got comically panicked. "IT HAS NO KAMEN RIDER GIRLS SONGS FOR THEM TO SING~!"

This caused his friends to fall down comically, for they thought it was something else.

"THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT?!" Orpheus shouted comically.

"Think about it! This world has no Japanese songs at all!" Kurogasa said. "They wanted me to teach them to sing in Japanese, yet Remnant has no Japanese songs, let alone J-Pop in any music store! I know some of the Kamen Rider GIRLS songs, but they have no clue how it goes and I practically have to rewrite all the songs the Kamen Rider GIRLS ever made, and would you rather have me sing all of them!?"

Aaron knew he had a point and began to think. Suddenly, he got a crazy idea.

"What if we all worked together on a single song," Aaron suggested with a smirk, "Then teach them how to sing it?"

"It could work since it's us four," Orpheus said in agreement.

"We would have to pick one though," Orion said, "The concert is in a week."

"It's crazy," Kurogasa said, "But it just might work…"

"Then we're all in agreement then?" Aaron asked the others.

"If we can use Remnant's technology to replicate their voices…" Orion mused.

"...then we have ourselves Remnant's own version of Kamen Rider GIRLS." Orpheus finished. "Alright, let's do this!"


LINE BREAK


Hours later…


"Haaah~… I'm tired…" Aaron said as he leaned back in his chair.

"Yeah, now comes the hard part…" Kurogasa said, looking at the supercomputer, "Changing the pitches, using the various musical instruments and equipment we got our hands-on…"

"And then teaching them how to sing it." Orion finished.

"While doing the Kamen Rider GIRLS… dance routines." Orpheus finished, making the boys shudder. Something they were not looking forward to, at all.

"I wonder how they're doing anyway?" Aaron pondered.


LINE BREAK


Coco was already finished taking their measurements, though there was a bit of distraction, especially when Coco measured the girls'… chest sizes.

"Man, those measurements took forever," Koa said with a sigh.

"I feel violated…" Weiss muttered, covering her chest with her arms.

"I feel jealous," Ruby said, eying Koa whilst crossing her arms.

Coco smiled as she began drawing out designs for their outfits. "Oh, this is gonna be great, I can imagine the outfits right now." She smirked, as she dragged her pencil across the paper. "Man, I haven't had this much fun in forever."

Velvet and her teammates' sweatdropped at Coco's eagerness.

"She's… rather happy." Velvet blinked.

"This is Coco's element…" Yatsuhashi pointed out.

"She's really going at it," Koa commented.


LINE BREAK


More hours later…


Finally, after what seemed like forever, Team JOKR managed somehow in some way to recreate one of the Kamen Rider GIRLS's songs. It was arduous, torture, frustrating, and painful, but it was worth it. A little after they finished making or rather re-creating the song in question, Team RWBY and Koa came back from their shopping, after trying on their new outfits. And Kurogasa had the team come to the Rider base.

"Alright ladies, listen up!" Kurogasa said. "The concert is in about a week. We have now until then to practice the song that we have chosen for you."

"Hai!" The girls replied.

"Alright, it's time for you girls to listen to the song. Aaron? Play it."

Aaron nodded and pushed play on his Scroll, and the music began. The girls were in awe at what they were hearing.

"Pretty~!" Koa said happily.

The other girls danced to the beat of the music, obviously loving the tune.

"So," Aaron said with a smile, "Ready to begin?"

"YEAH!"

And thus, the entire group began their training for the Battle of the Bands.


LINE BREAK


Koa and Orpheus were walking across a rebuilt park when suddenly they heard screaming and people running. The two ran towards the source, and to their shock, it was another monster terrorizing the innocent. A large dragon-themed monster, with white bone armor and red markings, holding a dual bladed staff made of bone. It was a Bugster hybrid of Graphite.

"A hybrid?! As if we didn't have enough troubles already." Orpheus cursed.

He was about to summon a driver when Koa suddenly turned to Orpheus and took his hand placing something in it. He opened his hand to see it was the Taka, Tora, Unagi, Kamakiri, and Zou Medals.

"Koa, these…!" Orpheus said in shock.

"They're better off in Aaron's hands," Koa said before turning to the hybrid, "I'll try and delay it long enough for you and your friends to get here."

"No, if you fight that thing without these Core Medals then you'll-" Orpheus tried to persuade the Greeed.

"Fight without relying on instinct right?" Koa said with a smile, "I'll be fine with the ones I have. Now go, before someone gets hurt."

Orpheus looks at her, hesitant to leave her to fight alone. He then saw the determination in her eyes, he sighed before running to get some backup. Koa then turned to the Hybrid Graphite which turned towards her.

"Seems a fool has come to stop me," Said the Hybrid, "Ready to die?"

Koa merely smirked, "Far from it, gruesome." She said as she got ready to fight. The Hybrid twirled his weapon around as he got ready to fight as well.

'I just need to delay him long enough for backup to arrive,' She thought, 'But it might be difficult since I can't change. More so with just the two Cores that I currently have. Agh focus, study the opponent and find a weakness.'

The Hybrid charged, forcing Koa to dodge his attacks. She ran towards him with a few punches and kicks that pushed it back, dodging what attacks she could. But then the hybrids fist slammed into her gut sending her back. She held her gut as she inspected it to be leaking Cell Medals, to which it was not.

"Whew, thank gods Orphee unlocked my aura a week ago." Koa said with relief before charging at the hybrid. The Graphite began to charge his weapon, sending out huge arcs of energy that Koa did her best to dodge.

'This is bad,' Koa thought, 'At this rate-!'

SCANNING CHARGE!

"Eh?"

"SEIYAAAAAAA!" Came the cry of Kamen Rider OOO as he performed a Rider kick. The Hybrid was sent flying from the attack, as the other riders appeared.

"Really!? Just when we're about to have this concert going!?" Kurogasa groaned.

"At least we get to see some action." Orion said with a smirk.

"The Core Medals help." OOO said, looking at his armor, "It's not a full combo, but it's a start."

"Koa, you ok?" Orpheus asked the Greeed in disguise.

"Yeah, just barely." Koa said as she leaned against him. The hybrid slowly rose up, as his body began to leak out mist. From the mist came Grimm forms of the Bugster virus.

"Oh great, I forgot these jokers exist too," Kurogasa groaned.

"Let's transform then." Orion said as he put his fists together.

All of their Aura glowed before materializing around their waists producing the Gamer Drivers. They then took out what appeared to be game cartridges. The pink one had an odd mascot on it, the mascot being a sort of a fusion between Kirby and Sonic. It was also Fuschia with 'eye' themed goggles and spiky hair. The cyan colored cartridge had a picture of a knight holding a sword in front of him while the weapon itself was covered in fire and ice. The indigo cartridge had a strange mascot of a grey robot shaped together by polygons of all shapes holding a machine gun with one hand. And finally, the yellow cartridge had a picture of a biker with spike mohawk for a helmet as he was racing along a dirt track. All four Riders then pressed the buttons.

MIGHTY ACTION X!

TADDLE QUEST!

BANG BANG SHOOTING!

BAKUSOU BIKE!

The four separate game title screens appeared and the entire area soon digitized momentarily before becoming normal again. "Henshin!" They shouted before their video game cartridges into their Drivers.

GASHATTO!

At that point, multiple holographic pictures of game-like avatars appeared, circling around them before it momentarily stopped. Then instinctively, they touched their avatars picture in front of them and they twirled as the word 'SELECT' appeared in front of them.

LET'S GAME! MECCHA GAME! MUCCHA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

A fuchsia, cyan, indigo, and yellow ring formed in front of them as pixelated data forms onto them as it died down.

I'M A KAMEN RIDER!

What stood there were very short armored people. With white and black armor, along with a unique chest piece, showing a gamepad to the left and a life bar and weapon's slot to the rider. The helmet was short as well. Aaron's helmet showed two orange eyes and goggles in front, finishing off up top with a fuchsia spiky hair. Kurogasa's helmet was that of a cyan knight's helmet with yellow eyes carrying a simple sword and shield. Orion's helmet had an indigo-colored soldier-like helmet with a yellow piece covering one of his red left eyes. And Orpheus's helmet was that of a bike's front with bike handles for antennae and having wheels on his arms.

"We're a bunch of fatties!" Kurogasa exclaimed.

Koa covered her mouth as she snickers uncontrollably.

"Guys!" They looked to see Team RWBY approach with their weapons. "Need some help-" Ruby and the rest of the team were stunned silent when they saw the Riders in their… avatar forms. Then the four bursted into laughter at what they were seeing.

"Urusai, urusai, urusai!" Kurogasa shouted in dismay.

"Focus," Orpheus said, "Enemies first, humor later!"

"I'm going!" Aaron said. At that point, an item roulette appeared around him and an item card formed next to him, spinning around the ring before it turned into a real weapon as he grabbed it. It was a white hammer, with some fuchsia and green highlights. The sides had an 'A' and 'B' button on it.

GASHACON BREAKER!

"Let's do this!" He shouted before jumping up and diving down bashing the Bugster hybrid with the game-like hammer.

[HIT!] [HIT!] [HIT!] [GREAT!] [HIT!] [HIT!] [HIT!] [GREAT!] [PERFECT!]

"They look so stupid yet… cute at the same time." Yang commented.

"Agreed." Said the other girls.

Koa looked down, wanting to help, but she felt like she needed a weapon to do so. Suddenly, something landed in front of team RWBY and Koa, taking everyone by surprise. When the smoke cleared, it was revealed to be Kurai's sword.

"K-Kurai's sword!" Blake exclaimed. The group looked around until they saw upon the nearby building Kurai. Koa's eyes widened in surprise, but she knew who it really was. Koa walked towards the blade and picked it up.

"Come on, let's help out the others!" Koa said with a smile.

"Oryah! Hah!" Kurogasa shouted as he slashed a few Bugster viruses away. One was coming at Kurogasa from behind but was slashed away by Koa.

"I got your back Kuro!" Koa said with a smile.

"Uh… thanks." He blinked. The two were then back to back as Bugsters surrounded them. "Think you can handle this many?"

"Well, could be trouble if one more showed up."

"Heh. Then that'll be the one I take care of."

"What, you're fighting too?" Koa jokes.

"Oh Ha ha ha, very funny!" Kurogasa rolled his eyes behind his mask. "Let's go!" He said, before charging in. Koa nodded and charged as well.

Orion and Aaron were dealing with their own group of Bugsters. They were jumping on and off platforms, smacking countless Bugsters along the way. The Hybrid was sending out waves after waves of energy to hit the plump yet agile riders.

"Gah, this is getting us nowhere!" Orion shouted as an item roulette formed around him, spinning around the ring before it turned into a real weapon as he grabbed it.

GASHACON MAGNUM!

What flew into the teen's hand was a small gun, with the same colors as his helmet and more as it gained the 'STG' logo on it, and two buttons. "Stay dead!" He shouted, shooting multiple Bugsters, turning them into pixels. "Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete!"

"Easy buddy, don't go trigger happy on me," Aaron said, trying to calm him down.

"I've been WOKEN!" Orion shouted, shooting more Bugsters. "And these Bugsters are OBSOLETE!"

Aaron sighed and smacked Orion upside the head with his Gashacon Breaker in its hammer configuration.

"YEOW!" Orion said rubbing his head, a cartoon bump growing.

"Dummy," Aaron muttered. The Hybrid then appears behind them, kicking them off the platform. The duo recovered, only to see another energy wave heading towards them. Kurogasa and Koa got in front of them slashing the waves in two.

"Seriously, you two?" Koa reprimanded the two.

"Not my fault," Aaron said.

"Well, there's only one way to get rid of them," Orpheus said as he approached them. "We gotta level up!"

"Yosh! Ikuzo!" Kurogasa shouted as the Riders got ready.

"Dai Henshin!"

"Proceeding to Level 2."

"Tactics Level 2!"

"Second Gear!"

All of them opened up their Gamer Drivers.

GACCHAN! LEVEL UP!

A fuchsia, cyan, dark blue, and yellow holographic screen, shot out of the belts in front of them like the Blade Buckles would, as it moved back and into them. Aaron then jumped up as a new tune played.

MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY, MIGHTY, ACTION X!

His white armor dispersed to reveal himself being slimmer. Upon finishing, Aaron now was taller than before. Gaining a fuchsia and green suit, with some arm and leg armor pads, even the large faceplate from his LV. 1, was now there as like a backpack.

TADDLE MEGURU! TADDLE MEGURU! TADDLE QUEST~!

Standing there tall was Brave LV 2, he was now much taller than LV 1, as his shield was now on his right forearm and the short sword also disappearing as the item roulette appeared as he soon caught a new weapon in his hand. It was a sword with an orange 'A' button and an icy blue 'B' button with a tip on one side showing a fiery orange blade and behind it an icy blue blade.

BA-BANG BANG! BANG BA-BANG! YOW! BANG BANG SHOOTING!

As soon as the tune ended, the rider dropped to the ground, in his new armor. His armor looked similar to Level 1, but his shoulders were covered with armor while the forearms were covered with what looks to be black fabric with pearl-colored armor on top, reaching from his elbow to the top of his hand. On both ends are wrapped with yellow bands on the wrist and biceps while his hands were equipped with navy blue colored armor. Over the right side of his armor was a yellow cloak-like scarf with digital patterns. Finally, from his knees to the shins were covered with the same black 'fabric' with the front having gray armor and gray knee pads. The feet have yellow armored sneakers with both sides being black. He wore a dark blue helmet with yellow 'hair fringe' hanging over his right eye. The letters 'STG' were on the helmet. He also had a silver mouthplate and his eyes looked like cartoon eyes as the irises were red and the pupils were white.

BAKUSOU! DOKUSOU! GEKISOU! BOUSOU! BAKUSOU BAIKKU!

Lazer slowly floated as his body as he flew up into the air quickly as tires appeared around him causing him to break apart while his main body connected to the tires to rearrange themselves into a bike form A yellow motorbike, complete with a GamerDriver near the handles, a life gauge and Kimiwaza slot to the right, and blue eyes on the headlights.

These were Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Brave, Snipe, and Lazer on Level 2.

"Ahhhhh, this feels weird!" Lazer said as he was wobbling in place.

Ex-Aid hopped onto the bike-shaped Rider, "No time for questioning! Let's ride!" He exclaimed, revving the throttle. "And I better be sitting on your back!"

"Well, if you think about it, if he goes Level 3 with Giri Giri Chambara, the seat is actually-" Brave said.

"NO! NO PUTTING THAT THOUGHT INTO OUR HEADS!" Lazer exclaimed.

"Oh my gosh, he turned into a bike!" Ruby suddenly squealed in delight as she Petal Rushed towards them, comically knocking Ex-Aid off and getting on Lazer. "I wanna ride you!"

"PHRASING!" Everyone except Koa shouted.

Ex-Aid picked up Ruby by the hood of her cloak and removed her from Lazer, plopping her on the ground like she was a disobedient child. "Stay here and out of trouble." The Fuschia Rider quickly got on the motorbike-styled Rider. "Now where were we?"

*VROOOM! VROOOM!*

"No continue de kuria shite yaru ze!*1" Ex-Aid said before speeding towards the Bugster Hybrid. The Hybrid jumped out of the way of the Riders before the nearby Bugsters merged together into a Bugster themed motorcycle.

"Huh?!" Lazer said surprised as they saw the Hybrid racing towards him. Ex-Aid quickly shifted and the two began a race across Vale.

"Mou~ I wanna ride him!" Ruby whined.

"You should really consider phrasing that differently." Weiss blushed.

"What's wrong with her phrasing?" Koa said, being none the wiser.

"Oh gods, there are two naive kids." Yang joked, facepalming.

"Let's just go!" Blake was blushing too but nonetheless charged at the small fry of Bugsters followed by the others. With our Riders, they were trying to catch up with the two speeding bikes.

"Damn, we're losing them!" Brave exclaimed.

"Never say never." Snipe said as he pressed a button on his Scroll and suddenly they heard vrooming sounds before their personal Rider Machines showed up, even Bumblebee.

"How did you-" Brave got out.

"Aaron set it up!"

"Works for me!" Brave said before he and Snipe jumped and got on.

"Wait for us!" Weiss called out.

"Hurry up!" Brave urged as Weiss got behind Brave, Blake rode behind Snipe, and Yang and Ruby got on Bumblebee before they rode after Ex-Aid and Lazer.

Speaking of the two Riders, Ex-Aid drove the bike Rider against the Bugster Hybrid with the monster returning the favor. Lazer managed to keep his passenger stable enough for the fuschia Rider to engage in a brief brawl with the hybrid. "Keep steady!" Ex-Aid exclaimed.

"I'm trying!" Lazer snapped.

"Try harder!" He shot back as he blocked a punch that nearly hit him in the face before returning the favor with a backhand fist that slammed into the hybrid's 'nose'. The Hybrid reeled in pain as the motorcycle was losing control.

"My Gashat! Use it!" Lazer told his passenger.

"Ah, you got it!" Ex-Aid replied as he took out the bike Rider's Gashat then slotted it into his Kimewaza slot.

GASHATTO! KIMEWAZA!

"Let's do this!" He shouted, pressing the button.

BAKUSOU CRITICAL~ STRIKE!

"Yosh! Time to rev it up!" Lazer declared as his cartoon eyes flashed. The wheels glowed with energy molding into saw teeth like wheels as he revved up towards the Bugster hybrid, then Ex-Aid lifted Lazer up, doing a wheelie. The hybrid recovered and pushed energy into its blade which he used to clash with Lazer's front wheel, causing a shower of sparks. "FATALITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" He yelled, as he broke through the weapon and struck the hybrid causing a huge explosion of black mist and pixels following by a victory tune.

GAME CLEAR!

"Alright!" Ex-Aid cheered as the rest of the group just arrived.

"Aw man, we missed it!" Ruby whined.

Ex-Aid and Lazer turned to face the others after they managed to reach them. "What took you guys so long?" The anime-like Rider inquired.

"Seriously?" Koa said incredulously.

"You're the ones that went on ahead without us!" Brave snapped.

"And only one person on our team has a bike!" Weiss added, pointing at Yang.

"Yeah!" Yang said with a nod.

Lazer turned his front axle to look at Ex-Aid, "You think we can find a mute button for them?"


LINE BREAK


It was the opening day for the Battle of the Bands, and countless teams have performed. Let's look a few of them, shall we?

First up was Team CVFY, doing a smooth jazz group.

Then came JNPR, with a synced dance routine.

Team CRDL tried to do a rock band but they played so bad that the audience threw food and drinks at them just to get them off the stage. And so, after many other good and bad bands, it was time for team RWBY and JOKR to take the stage. Koa was the most nervous, seeing the audience.

"Having cold feet already?" Orpheus chuckled while dressed in a purple outfit resembling Ryuutaros. "Relax, we got this." He said as he was tuning his bass guitar.

"Easy for you to say…" The Greed in hiding retorted.

"Come on, everyone!" Aaron got everyone's attention on him as he wore a red and black outfit that resembled Momotaros as he held an electric guitar. "It's time we show all the fans out there just what we've practiced!"

"You girls got this. Your Japanese lessons are gonna pay off for sure!" Kurogasa said as he wore a blue outfit resembling Urataros having his keyboard ready along with equipment for DJs.

"And we've got your back!" Orion said with a big grin on his face while wearing a yellow outfit resembling Kintaros and carrying two drumsticks in his hands.

"And don't worry, we had the big screens showing the English translations so they could follow along," Kurogasa added. "I gotta hand it to Coco though, her sense of fashion is spot on."

Koa looked at her outfit, which was an orange dress with sunny details lined in yellow and gold that ran along with the fabric, dark orange arm gloves, thigh-length black stockings, and yellow high-heeled shoes.

"A-are you sure we can do this?" Koa nervously asked. Yang walked towards her in a strapless golden dress, with violet highlights. Adding to the dress is the violet making a dragon detail, whilst two violet fingerless gloves adorned her hands. Topping it off is a pair of golden high heeled boots with violet markings.

"Don't worry about it, we'll be awesome!" Yang said with a fist pump. Blake nodded in agreement as she was wearing a black and purple yukata dress, with white tabi socks and black sandals. And for added effect was a nekomata mask on the side of her head.

"I still don't get why Coco added this mask to my outfit…" Blake lamented.

"I think it looks nice on you, Blake." Yang complimented.

"You think so?" Blake blushed.

"Of course." Yang smiled widely.

"You… as a catgirl." Kurogasa trailed off. "Meow…"

"Oi, hit on your own sister. Not mine." Aaron warned the samurai.

The two glared at each other until…

*BONK! BONK!*

"ITE!" The two yelled in pain.

"Will you two knock it off?" Koa said as she held up her smoking fist, "Sheesh."

"Guys, we're up next!" Ruby said. Her dress was a crimson dress covered in roses with black outlines. Black thigh stockings with rose markings and crimson slip ons topped it off.

"We should get ready!" Weiss added. Her dress made her truly look like an ice queen for it was blue with white snowflake designs that had multiple gems that resembled Dust. A pair of white high heels finished her look.

The Riders nodded as they began to set up the stage for their performance.

"And now the final performance of the night… Teams RWBY and JOKR!" The Announcer said, causing the crowd to cheer.

Aaron walked up to a microphone and cleared his throat, "Ladies and gentlemen of the audience, tonight for our performance, we'll be introducing you to some new musical material. We hope you enjoy it because we're gonna rock our hearts out."

The crowd claps and cheers, as the two teams get into places. Orion held up his drumsticks and cracked them together.

"One, two!" Orion said proudly. "1, 2, 3, 4!" He then started drumming, as the Riders also began to play.

[Reason For by Kamen Rider GIRLS sung by Team RWBY & Koa]

Subete dato omoutteta chiisana sekai kara mieteru
Uso to hontou ga zenbu kousaku suru keshiki
Tsumarisou ni naru Weakness

Sorerashii ketoba dake narabenaide
Hora ne mata urayamu dake
Sore ja nani mo kawaranai nja nai?

Reason for the lies iiwake bakari shiterarenai
Reaching for the lights jibun ni uso hatsukenai
Shi to puraido nigirishimeta ryoute de tsuyoku tsukande

Reason for the lies dare ni mo odora saretakunai
Reaching for the lights mada mada sagashiteru tochuu
Karamawari no renzoku demo kiyasume nante iranai dakara
Ki ga sumu made kakenukeru dake

A reason to be there

As the song begins, the five girls stepped forward onto the stage. They then held up their fists and then began to sing, breaking into a dance where they all moved in sync with each other. They then spread out on stage with their own spotlight, Ruby was the first to step center as she swung her arms and legs to the beat. When they sing "A reason to be there," the five girls raise their arms as they look to the sky. Their dance then continued as Team JOKR played on, their music empowering the girls to dance more vigorously before moving to the next set of lyrics.

Mahishita atarimae ni shoumou sarete yuku kankaku
Ikisugita yasashisa ni fuan wo kanjite wa
Obore sou ni naru Regrets

Hoshii mono dake zenbu erabanaide
Futsugou wa mienai furi

Reason for the lies ari no mama wo kanjite itai
Reaching for the lights kakushin wo himeta honne
Atsuku iki ga tsumari sou na mune ni kodou kizande

Reason for the lies dare ka ni nante narikirenai
Reaching for the lights ookiku fukaku naru kokyuu
Kireigoto de gomakashitemo nattoku nante dekinai dakara
Fu ni ochiru made mukiau dake

A reason to be there

Asu no iro wo kimeru no wa dareka ja naku jibun dakara
Wakatta you na kaoshite toritsukurou hitsuyou nantenai kara

The five girls then swung their left arms in a circle as they kept moving to the beat. The then began to move around the stage, doing a few twirls before starting to sing again. Koa was up next as she brought her hands out to the audience and then towards her heart, allowing Yang and Blake to move in with their own synchronized dance. Whilst they were dancing, the four Riders were unaware of a familiar glow coming from Aaron's waist. The four boys continued to play their instruments as the final act of the song began.

Reason for the lies nomi koma rete shimawa nai you ni
Reaching for the lights ni giru te ni chikara komete
Hitotsu hitotsu irozu iteku asu wo omoi ega ite

Reason for the lies ari no mama wo kanjite itai
Reaching for the lights kakushin wo himeta honne
Chigau keshiki mitsumitetemo shinpai nante iranai dakara
Ki ga sumu made kakenukeru dake

A reason to be there

The five girls kept dancing, unaware that four lights flew into team JOKR. Weiss came center as she danced with a figure skater's speed and grace. The other girls joined in on the dance as they were in perfect sync while the entire crowd was cheering and dancing to the beat. They have never heard such wonderful music before, it filled their hearts and their minds. The five girls gave it their all for the finale, as they danced vigorously and perfectly. When the song ended, the five of them did various poses as if they were a Super Sentai team with Ruby in the middle, Weiss and Yang on her right, and Blake and Koa on her left. Added to the effect was smoke in the background each with their color schemes.

The crowd roared with applause and cheer, the loudest out of the entire group. Koa was awestruck by what she was witnessing; the crowd thought they were amazing. In the corner of her eye, she thought she could see two familiar figures, one with mismatched eyes the other with red hair cheering her before leaving. Ruby turns to see Koa shedding tears of joy as she waved to the audience.

"Yosha! Arigatou minna!" A voice shouted. Wait… was that Aaron? The five turned around seeing Aaron and his friends but… they were definitely acting strange.

'Oi! Momotaros, get out of us!' The real Aaron cried out.

"Urusei, do you know how many Chou Eiyuu Sai concerts we've been in? This is our jam!" Aaron-Red said with his hair spiked back.

"Besides, look at all these lovely ladies cheering us on." Kurogasa-Blue added as he had glasses on. "Mind if we reel them in?"

'Absolutely not!' Kurogasa shouted.

"We have truly made this crowd cry!" Orion-Yellow shouted as a fringe of his hair was tied into a braid?!

'Ack! Kinataros!' Orion gawked in surprise.

"Ne, ne, do you think they'll mind if we do our own song next? Can't hear you!" Orpheus-Violet said with a giggle while wearing a baseball hat!?

"This feels… strangely familiar." Ruby said with a sweatdrop.

"I feel a mysterious urge to punch Aaron for some reason." Yang said looking at Aaron.

Speaking of whom, the possessed young man took center stage with a microphone, "O-re… futatabe sanjou! Minna-san! Let's all give a hand to Team RWBY and Koa for their performance, eh?"

The crowd cheered once more, cheering their name.

"And just for that performance, we're giving you an encore!" Aaron-Red continued as they cheered loudly. "Because from start to finish! We're gonna end this concert at a Climax!" The Taros-possessed boys all played their instruments as they took their positions at four microphones that had been set out for them.

[CLIMAX JUMP - DenLiner Form by the Taros Brothers as sung by Team JOKR?]

The band behind them started playing the soft, but fast instrumental again as Ryuutaros started to rap fast.

Ryuutaros: Y to the E to the A to the H!

The band again started an instrumental again rocking out and the crowd was going wild, jumping up and down, fist-pumping fast in the air to the music. They were just really pumped up, then after several seconds, the Imagin got back into the song.

Imagin: Hajimari wa itsumo totsuzen

When the song came to an end, the crowd went wild for the Taros, even Team RWBY and Koa clapped excitedly for the boys after their song was finished. "Wow…" Koa and Ruby said impressed. And so, the concert went on, gaining lots of Lien to repair the city.


LINE BREAK


"Alright, the votes are in and we have a winner!" The announcement said. "Actually, we have a tie-breaker!"

The crowd clapped, excited to see who the tiebreaker was.

"And so, our tying contestants are…"

Two spotlights came on to reveal them to the audience.

"Teams RWBY and JOKR!"

The group cheered for the eight individuals as they were surprised at this.

"We tied? Is that good?" Koa said confused.

"Well… sort of?" Yang said whilst shrugging.

"At least we can be sensible and share this victory among ourselves right?" Ruby asked with a smile.

The eight looked at each other for a moment.

"Right? Guys?" Ruby looked at her friends with a nervous chuckle.

They looked at each other again before shouting "IT'S MINE!" and then swan dived for the trophy and fighting amongst themselves with a large dust cloud and body parts sticking out of the said cloud of dust with Ruby only looking on dumbfounded.


LINE BREAK


Azrael was gripping the sides of the table so hard, that they shattered to pieces. Another failure, and this time they had help. He could tell from the report that his creation had aided the Riders against his Hybrid, and it burned him to no end. He expected her to die by their hands, but instead, she has evolved from a liability to a possible threat to his plans. And that is something he cannot ignore.

"Perhaps it's time for another Alter…" the hooded man remarked in a cold tone. He turned to the Core Medal Case and took a closer look at it, "Just you wait, my traitorous creation, you will soon know that your actions…"

The hooded man's eyes and hand glowed a sinister purple, "Will not go unpunished…"


SR: And that's the chapter!

KRD: Yeah, had a lot of fun with this one!

SR: But now we return to the serious stuff! There will be violence, danger, and more to come!

GKC: Correct! The next chapter shall be another two-parter!

SR: How exciting! Let's roll- oh uh, did either of you want to do the honors?

KRD: Roll the clip!


Announcer: Jikai! Remnant's Climax Heroes!

Kurogasa: I knew it! I knew you were Kurai! I told you all, but you don't wanna listen to me!

Kurai: Who are you to judge me for hiding, Blake?!

Orpheus: Please… Don't go…

Azrael: Now then… Who is your master?!

Next Time: Revelation! The Dark Falcon's Cry! Part 1

Kurai: …Goodbye, Orpheus…


GKC: Excellent! And with that said, I say to all of you... Peace out, everybody!

SR: And stay tuned for the next Henshin!
