GKC: What's up, everyone! This is GKC here bringing you another chapter of Remnant's Climax Heroes!

SR: *Slides in* Don't forget DragoKnightSR~! *keeps sliding by… into the wall* D'OH! *falls down* I'm ok!

GKC: -_-; Ignoring that embarrassing display, let's get on with this current chapter, ne?

SR: Right! So last time we encountered Orphee's former best friend Emily, and the reason why Azrael summoned them.

Koa: But I saved Orphee and beat Emily!

*BONK!*

SR and Koa: YEOW!

Orpheus: ORPHEE JA NAI!

KRD: Thanks for the reminder… now let's get on with it already. It's time for Orion to meet his rival… or a lack thereof, hence the title of this chapter…

GKC: Yep, so expect a lot of angry yelling and probably misplaced JoJo's Bizarre Adventure references.


Chapter 31: The Rivalry That Never Existed!


It was another day at Beacon Academy. Every student including the exchange students were going on about their day, attending classes, doing homework, doing some sparring, you know how it goes. But today is rather… how shall we say this… noisy. Especially when it comes to a certain Little Red and her adopted daughter.

"Moooooom~ stop touching my ears~!"

"But they're so cute and fluffy!" Ruby argued. "Oh my gosh, now I know how Aaron feels!"

"Ruby, manhandling Melody's ears is not how we start our day." Orion reminded his girlfriend.

"Daaaaad, help meeee~!" Melody whined.

"Don't worry, I got ya. Hey Ruby, here." Orion said as he pulled out from his hammer space, a life-sized Crescent Rose chocolate chip cookie. For all intents and purposes, this was absurd, but if it was to get Ruby to stop manhandling Melody's ears, then by all means.

Ruby's eyes locked on the giant cookie. A look of hunger and savage influence emanating from her silver eyes. "My dream has become reality… I have waited my whole life for this moment!"

She lunges at the cookie, semblance pushing her towards the giant treat. She latched onto the cookie and caressed it before nibbling it joyfully.

"I knew that would come in handy someday." Orion comments.

"Thanks Dad…" Melody sighed in relief.

"No problem, Melody. I'm sure you've dealt with this behavior enough in the future." The blonde young man said.

"Mmmm…" Melody looked away with a slight pout. "I'd rather not talk about that…"

Orion smirked, "You don't have to. I can already tell just by looking at your face."

Melody blushed and mumbled in embarrassment. Orion chuckled as he shook his head before being lost in thought. Azrael has brought people that hated them from their world to become his generals. The encounter between Emily and Orpheus affected Koa greatly, even though she doesn't show it. What made him worried was who the dark villain summoned to deal with him. He doesn't remember any enemies, but it still was a cause for concern.

"Dad? What's wrong?" Melody asked.

"Huh?" Orion looked at his daughter and shook his head. "No, it's nothing. Come on, let's… leave your Mom in peace with her cookie." he sweat dropped, as Ruby was still eating the Crescent Rose chocolate chip cookie. She wanted to savor every nibble.

"I don't know whether or not I should feel dumbfounded or disturbed…" Weiss muttered.

Meanwhile…

"Hey Rei? Can I ask ya something?" Koa asked.

"Hm?" Rei tilts their head in confusion. "What's up momma?"

"Uh… in the future, when you were born…" Koa fidgeted as she looked nervous. "Are you a Greeed like me?"

"Not entirely, no." Rei answered. "I'm half-Greeed."

"You're… half-Greeed?" Koa asked wide-eyed.

"Uh… how exactly?" Orpheus questioned. "And I don't mean the obvious between your Mom and I." He pointed out, as Koa blushed.

"Well, I don't really have a monster form like Mom does but I do inherit some of the traits from the three reptiles she has as her Greeed form." Rei answered as they… stuck out their tongue which was snake-like. "Like this."

"Okay, put that back please," Orpheus looked away with a hand stretched out. The androgynous teen brought their tongue back into their mouth. "So any other… traits?"

"Feel my back." They said, turning around. Koa felt it and noticed before… knocking.

"Your back is hard as a turtle shell."

"Yep. So anyone trying to stab me in the back is gonna have their knives shattered." Rei stated. "And my teeth have a powerful bite just like a crocodile."

"Wow…" Koa said wide-eyed.

"One last question." Orpheus said. "Out of curiosity, how come you're genderless? Or rather, how did you become genderless?"

"Oh, that's because my DNA is a mix of human and Greeed, so it couldn't really decide what my gender should be."

"That explains it…" Koa sweat dropped.

"Hence also the androgynous look." Orpheus added.

"Yep, growing up was really awkward, especially during birthdays." Rei said.

"Speaking of growing up… what… happened to us in the future?" Koa asked.

"You're still alive, if that's what you mean." Rei answered. "Although…" The teen paused with a grimace. "Let's just say that you aren't walking anymore."

"W-What? I… lost my legs?"

"You can thank Dark Kuro for cutting them off…"

"That's-"

"I'm gonna kick his ass when I see him again…" Orpheus growled. "No one cuts your mama's legs and gets away with it."

"Papa, stop. That's the kind of behavior that almost cost you your life." Rei retorted.

"Eh?"

"You got so mad that you went after him and you came back with broken bones and all. It was a miracle you could still walk."

"I uh…"

"You might be a strong Rider but you fought him alone. We need to beat him together."

Orpheus slumped his shoulders with his head hung down. "Okay, point taken."

"If it makes you feel any better," Rei reached into their pants pocket to pull out a green Aura Sphere. "You taught me how to fight like a Rider."

"You inherited my Rider powers?"

"Sure did. Wanna see?"

"I am curious as to what you'll become." Orpheus admitted.

"Show it, show it, show it! I wanna see!" Koa jumped up and down in excitement.

"Koa, calm down." Orpheus sweat dropped.

"She's not gonna stop, papa. Once mama gets like this, it's hard to get her attention over something else."

"Right… well, go ahead and show us, kiddo."

Meanwhile…

"RAGH! HAAAAH! ARRRRGH!" Ogre shouted as he punched three punching bags each with one hit and they all flew off the clips they were hanging on. "Hahahahaha! Man, my Semblance is badass! I became the One Punch Man!"

"Don't get cocky, you meathead." Rachel stated. "You may have possibly the most OP power set yet, but you still have mortal limits."

"Hah! Like that's gonna stop me from beating the living hell out of Orion! That bastard cost me my championship match and I'm gonna make him pay for that."

Rachel rolled her eyes, "Angry because of a stupid match. You're just like that bonehead, Gou."

"I heard that!"

"You were supposed to!" Rachel shot back.

"Hmph…"

"It's more than just that." Ogre said. "He didn't see me as a threat. He didn't see me as his equal. That bastard thought he was better than me!"

"Well, if you wanna get back at him then you need to hit him where it hurts." Rachel said with her arms folded under her breasts.

"Yeah, where the sun don't shine."

"Besides the obvious."

"If you want to hit the Riders where it hurts…" Team ROGE looked at the source to see Azrael approaching them with his Kaijin Grimoire in hand. "…you must attack their heart."

"You mean crush it."

"That too. But I mean to go for those that he cares about. Namely Ruby Rose." Azrael's luminescent yellow eyes glanced at Ogre. "Cripple or kill her, it doesn't matter. As long as you put the hurt on those Riders."

"Sure. Just tell me where to find them."

The next day…

*BZZZZT!*

"Ow, stupid companion device…" Aaron grumbled as he was at his workbench, finishing on the companion device for the Exceed Mask with Yin, Yukina, and Kurogasa looking on, as Aaron accidentally zapped himself with static.

"How long has he been on that?" Kurogasa asked.

"What's today?" Yin pondered.

"Sunday?"

"Since your Daddy-Daughter date on Friday." He answered.

"Right…" Kurogasa said. "Speaking of… Yukina. I never got to ask you, but… how did you get together with this guy?" He jabbed a thumb at Yang's son.

"Childhood friends, mutual feelings, shared first kiss. That sort of thing." Yukina answered.

"Quiet! I'm trying to work here!" Aaron shouted.

"Put some earphones on then!" Kurogasa snapped before throwing a pair of large headphones and miraculously they fit snugly on Aaron's ears. "Er-hem, anyways, are you sure you two didn't… you know…"

"No!" Yin exclaimed.

"Otou-sama!" Yukina cried out with a heavy blush.

"I'm just making sure." Kurogasa shrugged. "Look, I'm not against it, you just need to tell me these things as soon as possible, otherwise, I might go a bit crazy and get a shotgun from out of nowhere and-"

*BANG!*

"I SAID, QUIET!" Aaron shouted, aiming the smoking barrel of the left gauntlet of Blood Moon in gun form.

"Hai…" Kurogasa muttered, before looking at Yin while Aaron went back to working. "Yin, while I approve, let's get one thing straight. You make my daughter cry in any way possible for whatever reason, I will rip your thing off… and feed it to Zwei. Got it?"

Yin nodded fiercely with a pale face. "Yes, sir!"


LINE BREAK


*PFFFRRR*

A familiar Corgi suddenly sneezed before shaking their head, making baby Melody giggle at how funny it was.

"What's the matter, boy? Got the sniffles?" Taiyang Xiao Long asked the corgi after he came back in with a bottle of formula. Zwei looked at his owner with a confused look before whining and whimpering as if talking to him. "Someone was talking about you? Hm, probably the girls. You know how much they love to gush over cute things."

*BARK, BARK!*

"Woof, woof!" Baby Melody copied the dog.

"Awww, ain't that cute. Melody is copying you, Zwei." Taiyang chuckled.

*BARK!*

"Woof!"

*BARK, BARK!*

"Woof, woof!"


LINE BREAK


They heard the sound of footsteps and the people at the Rider Base turned to see Blake coming in. She looked nervous for some reason. "Hey Aaron, Yukina, Yin, Kuro."

"Huh?" Aaron stopped his work when he looked to his sister. "What's up?"

"Can I… have a moment with Kurogasa? Alone? It's important." Blake said nervously.

Aaron looks at her for a moment, before nodding. "Ok, we'll wait outside."

And with that, Aaron led Yukina and Yin out of the base leaving Blake alone with Kuro.

"What's this about Blake? Something troubling you?" Kuro asked her.

"In a sense…" The cat Faunus said.

"What is it?"

"I… I wanted to apologize." Blake said, her cat ears drooping. "All that went through my mind was…"

"I understand. I would have done the same if I was in your position."

"I know now that you and him aren't really the same person. I could see that between you and your daughter." Blake said. "So…"

"It's fine, Blake. Really, it is." Kurogasa shook his head. "I'm just glad you came to realize that."

"Thank you… Kuro." Blake said with a small smile.

"So… we're still friends?" Kurogasa smiled back sheepishly.

"Yes… we are." Blake giggled.


LINE BREAK


Orion strolled through the halls of Beacon Academy with a carefree attitude. Suddenly, a mysterious letter flew directly into his face taking him off guard. He raised a brow as he opened and began to read.

"Orion, it's time you face justice for what you did to me. Meet me in the park, or else Ruby Rose will suffer." He read with dread. "Who the hell sent this letter?"

"Hey Dad, have you seen Mom anywhere?" Melody asked, approaching him. "Dad? Hello~ Earth to Da~d?"

"H-Huh?"

"Have you seen Mom?"

"Melody, I think your mom has been kidnapped." Orion told his adopted daughter.

"WHAT?!"


LINE BREAK


Ruby groaned as her head hurt from a large bump on the back of her head. She looked around, only to notice that she was once again tied up.

"Not again…" Ruby sighs, remembering being in a similar situation. "Where the heck am I now?"

"You're in Vale's Park, to bear witness." Ruby turned to see Ogre's back turned towards her. "After so many years, I will finally have my vengeance against Orion."

"Uh… who are you?" Ruby said, confused.

"I am Ogre." He states simply. "The one who will defeat Orion."

"So you're an enemy of Orion's? What did he do to make you angry?" Ruby pondered.

"What he did…" Ogre mutters as he clenched his fists angrily.

"RUBY!/MAMA!"

The two turned to see Orion as well as Melody running towards them. Ruby beamed happily, "ORION!" She cried out with joy.

"So, the bastard finally comes. Remember me, Orion?" The red-haired man asked with a wicked grin.

The blonde young man stared at Ogre for a solid minute before tilting his head and saying, "Who are you?"

This caused Ogre to fall over. "YOU IDIOT! I'M OGRE BLOODVEIN! I'M THAT WRESTLER WHOSE ASS YOU KICKED!"

"Yeah, I still don't know you." Orion answered bluntly. This makes Ogre grit his teeth as his anger boiled over.

"HOW THE HELL DO YOU FORGET SOMEONE LIKE ME?!" Ogre snapped. "YOU STOLE MY CHAMPIONSHIP FROM ME!"

"Your face just doesn't remind me of anyone nor your name. But I do care that you kidnapped my girl, so I'm gonna hurt you, you cherry-haired douchebag."

As soon as those words left his mouth, without warning Ogre was suddenly in front, and he punched his stomach so hard that Orion vomited blood before being sent flying and tumbling to the ground.

"DADDY!" Melody screamed.

Orion tried to get up but the force from the punch felt like it had torn his stomach to shreds. Another cough left his lips as blood splattered the ground. "How…"

"You like that?! Cause there's more where that came from!" Ogre grinned, cracking his knuckles. "I'm gonna enjoy crushing your bones into powder and grinding your organs into minced meat! And by the time I'm done, maybe then you'll remember! And you'll remember how I destroyed you!"

"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Melody screeched as she had Silver Fangs out and jumped towards Ogre with absolute rage in her eyes. Ogre grabs her by the arms and shoulder throws her into the ground, creating a deep crater and making her gasp in pain.

"MELODY!" Ruby cried out in horror.

"Bastard…" Orion snarled, wiping the blood from his lips and chin while using Lunar Divide to help push himself up. Ogre then roared as he lunged at Orion with a move that looked somewhat familiar to him. "That move-"

"Ursa Major Lariat!" Ogre roared as he slammed his beefy arm directly into Orion's throat, earning a choked gurgle from the older Arc twin before slamming the blonde straight into a wall.

"ORION!" Ruby shouted.

*COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!*

Orion fell to the ground coughing out more blood as he struggled getting up. "That… *COUGH" move…"

"Oh, so NOW you remember!" Ogre said as he approached the weakened Orion before raising him up. "Then maybe this will jog your memory!" He said putting him upside holding his stomach, all the while causing Orion to spit out more blood before jumping up and spinning around. "SCREW PILE DRIVER!" He yelled before slamming Orion on the ground in a sitting position.

"ORION!/PAPA!"

As Orion began to black out, faint memories began to fill his mind.


Flashback

"Ladies and gentlemen, this bout is set for one-fall and it is for the Houston Wrestling Championship!"

The cheer of many filled his ears as he looked around a wrestling ring as he looked to see Ogre, but he was wearing a wrestling outfit.

"Introducing the challenger, first, from Corpus Christi, Texas, weighing in at 210 lbs., Orion Nexus!"

"And his opponent, from Dallas, Texas, weighing in at 323 lbs., he is the current Houston Wrestling Champion, Ogre Bloodvein!"

Ogre raised his arms as the people cheered for him, Orion cracked his neck and knuckles as he got ready to fight. Once the ring announcer got out of the rings, the referee signaled the timekeeper to ring the bell.

*DING DING DING!*

End Flashback


"You're… that meathead… in the red speedo…" Orion said through gritted teeth.

"HAH! So now you remember me!" Ogre said. "Because of your little upset win and taking away my championship, my whole career was ruined!"

Orion only offered a weak smirk, "Still don't remember your name, only that you wore an ugly speedo."

"Well you're gonna remember it when I SEND YOU TO HELL!" Ogre shouted before jumping up and diving down for a punch.

*CLANG!*

Ogre was surprised when Melody suddenly moved in and blocked his fist with her weapon, Silver Fang. "Wha-"

"Don't you dare… hurt my daddy…"

"M-Melody…?" Orion got out, as he had the gall to be very afraid. Not for himself, but for his adopted daughter. "Don't… he's too strong for you…"

"I don't care… he's going down…" Melody muttered threateningly as she looked up and… her Aura glowed around her. "Raaaaaaaaaaaagh!" She roared as it flared up, causing Ogre to back off. The Aura then materialized around her waist, producing… an Aura Driver?!

"Melody?" Ruby gasped.

"Grrr… damn you, little brat." Ogre snarled. "I'll snap your spine like a twig!" He lunged to wrap his hands around Melody's throat.

"No, you don't!" Another familiar voice as a cord suddenly wrapped around one of his wrists.

"Rei?" Melody said with joy.

"Great timing! Help your Aunt Ruby out! Get me out of these ropes!" Ruby begged.

"Hai, hai," The androgynous teen said as blades sprouted from their yo-yo like weapon, using them to cut Ruby's bindings. Ruby had stars in her eyes as she saw the yo-yo cut through the rope easily. With a loud grunt, Rei pulled Ogre by his wrist and sent him flying into the ground away from the four.

"Hands off our family, asshole." Rei hissed. Ogre's eyes opened with rage as his Aura began to flare darkly.

"Damn you… STOP UNDERESTIMATING ME!" Ogre roared as his Aura flew into a blank Sphere giving it form. It was blood red in color and the image inside resembled a bison. "Azrael says that your power comes from Wisdom… therefore my strength will come from its antithesis!"

"An Aura Sphere!" Melody and Ruby exclaimed in shock.

"Tch… this looks like trouble." Rei mutters.

The group got ready to fight, as Ogre held up his sphere and laughed evilly. "HAHAHAHAHA! NOW YOU'LL SEE TRUE POWER!"He said before thrusting it inside his chest. He roared as his Aura spiked out dramatically to the point that the ground shook. They were forced to move back from the intense Aura as Ogre's body began to bulk up and take a new form.

Blood red armor surrounded his darkened muscles, clambering onto his body like a second skin. Bronze spikes jutted out from the armor as a bison-shaped helmet clamped down around his head, giving him a sort of gladiator-esque appearance with a golden nose ring hanging from the 'nose' of the bison while a pair of burning yellow eyes glowed from the face-opening of the helmet. Steam blew out of the armor as well as the monster's nostrils as he flexed his new body.

"So… anyone want steak?" The genderless teen asked, jokingly.

"Rei!" Melody scolded.

"What?! That joke was funny!"

The Bison Alter smirked as he got on all fours, kicking up his heel before unleashing a fast charge. The hulking brute's speed took the group by surprise, as his head sent Rei flying into the air.

"REI!"

They tumbled to the ground but somehow immediately got back up, dusting themselves off. "Ugh… rude…" They scoffed. "Alright, now I'm mad." They said, before their Aura glowed and materialized around their waist, producing an Aura Driver.

"He has one too?!" Ruby exclaims excitedly, stars in her eyes before pouting. "Now I feel like the odd one out, with no Driver."

"There, there," Orion patted the small reaper girl's head like a parent would their child. "It'll happen some day." Then he coughs out blood like a certain Symbol of Peace.

"Alright, no more stalling!" Melody said before revealing her Aura Sphere which was… a wolf?

"Wait… isn't that Aaron's? How do you have that?" Ruby points to the Sphere, earning Orion's curiosity as well.

Melody smiled, "Well, it's similar… but my Aura Sphere is entirely different."

"Yep. If you look closely, you'll see her wolf is a bit different." Rei explains. The two looked at each other before looking closely at the Sphere, and saw the difference from Aaron's. For one, the color looked like a blend between white and blue. The wolf inside seemed to have red markings and fire surrounding it.

"Better take out mine as well." Rei smirked, pulling out his own Aura Sphere. It was colored green and had a golden creature that looked like a hydra made from cobra, turtle, and crocodile bits. "Shall we?"

"Let's," Melody replied.

AURA SPHERE CONNECTED! OOKAMI!

AURA SPHERE CONNECTED! HYDRA!

Their Auras spiked out of their bodies before a portion of them separated, forming into respective creatures of a white-blue colored wolf and a green hydra. "Henshin!" They shouted before inserting them into the maws of their respective Drivers.

SHOUT IN THE MOONLIGHT! HOWLING OKAMI!

EMERALD PREDATOR! GREEN HYDRA!

The white-blue wolf gave a powerful howl and kicked the Alter back whilst the green Hydra roared and sent a wind blast that blew the Alter back further, before both flew into their respective owners. When the smoke cleared, the two had donned their respective Rider Armors.

Melody was clad in a skintight black bodysuit with a white breastplate with blue markings, blue shoulder guards, blue gauntlets with a white symbol resembling the moon with white crescent moon blades jutting from the elbows, white crescent moon knee guards, blue boots with the white moon symbol on the side, a white wolf's tail with a blue tip, and a black helmet with a white mask shaped like a Japanese wolf with blue markings, a silver mouthplate, and feminine angular yellow eyes.

Rei was also in a black bodysuit, their shoulder guards and gauntlets were green that were segmented like dragon scales. The chest plate was also green but shaped like multiple heads of snakes. They also wore green knee guards with golden fang-like protrusions, and green boots. They wore a black helmet with a green mask shaped like the head of a serpent with golden fangs, a silver mouthplate, and sharp red eyes.

"AMAZING!" Ruby exclaimed, in awe at the duo.

"Incredible." Orion agreed, sharing in that awe.

"Kamen Rider Luna!" Melody shouted.

"Kamen Rider Orochi, Sanjou!" Rei declares.

"HA! You think two puny Riders can stop me?!" Bison-Alter mocked, pounding a fist to his chest. "I'm ten times sturdier and just as strong!" He punched the ground and pulled out a large boulder, before tossing it towards the four with speed. However, the two new Riders appear in front of the boulder and smash it with their kicks.

"EHHHHHHHHHHH?!" Ruby cried out in shock with eyes bulging out of her sockets.

"You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us! Aroooooooooooooooooooooo!" Luna howled as her Aura spiked out before it dispersed and separated, forming and shaping multiple aura-shaped wolves. The Bison Alter was taken by surprise as were the others.

"Whoa!" Orion said in surprise.

"This is my Semblance, Daddy. Wolf Pack! And I'm the alpha!" Luna said. "Aroooooooooooooooooooo!" She howled, ordering her pack to lunge at the Bison Alter, as all wolves should.

"YEOW! Get off me stupid pooches!" The Alter roared as he punched the aura shaped wolves. Orochi appeared behind him and slammed their palms together, causing multiple snakeheads to whip and wrap around his body.

"Let's go for a spin now!" Orochi snickers as they morphed into a green shell that begins to spin, pulling the humongous Alter around like a top.

"And Rei's semblance is called BuraKaWani." Luna said proudly.

"How original…" Orion deadpanned.

"Well they are Auntie Koa and Uncle Orphee's kid." She said with a shrug.

"I SAID NOT TO CALL ME ORPHEE!" A voice shouted from far away.

"How does he hear that?" Ruby questions. Meanwhile, the Bison Alter was getting dizzy from all the spinning.

"Urp, too many… stars… gonna… hurl…" The Alter burped slightly, trying to hold back on vomiting. The shell sent him into the air as Orochi did a handstand.

"Melody!"

"Got it!" Luna said as she had the wolf head chomp on her Aura Sphere.

BITE! LUNAR FANG!

Luna held her arms back as she dashed towards Orochi, who smirked as they made their belt's hydra mouth chomp down as well.

BITE! HYDRA INJECTION!

Luna leaps up onto Orochi's feet, Aura surrounding her forming a large wolf. Orochi roared as their Aura formed multiple hydra heads, the main one having Luna in it's mouth like a cannon. "SAYONARA!" Orochi yells, kicking Luna into the air like a bullet. The heads of the hydra began to spiral around Luna's Aura as she rearranged herself into a Rider Kick towards the Bison Alter.

"HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Luna shouted as her kick connected on the Bison Alter, who blocked it by crossing his arms. He tried to hold out as long as he could, but eventually the power of Luna's kick was too much and he was sent flying like a certain team that blasted off.

"THIS ISN'T OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

*DING!*

Orochi changed back into Rei, as they got up and held out their arms. Luna came flying down, eventually landing within their arms, bridal style.

"Looks like he's blasting off for a bit." Rei jokes, before looking at Luna. "Sup?"

"Your jokes are as bad as Aunt Yang's…" Luna sweat-dropped, changing back into Melody.

"Awe come on, they're a little funny, Pup." Rei teased, making Melody flinch at the nickname.

"I-I thought I told you not to call me that!"

"But it's so cute~!" Rei countered. Melody blushed as she placed her face in her palms.

"Daw~!" Ruby cooed at the cuteness of the two childhood friends.

"I don't know, but if you guys don't mind, I'm gonna pass out…" Orion said, before doing just that.

"Ahhhhhh! Orion!" Ruby panicked.


LINE BREAK


Later on that day…

"Owowowowowow…" Orion winced in pain as his body was being wrapped in bandages.

"Hold still, will ya?" Weiss huffed.

"Man, I can't believe we missed Melody's awesome Rider form!" Koa huffed as well. "I bet it looked all cool and everything…"

"It was! Melody was all like 'Boom!' and Rei was all like 'Pow!', it was so amazing that I nearly peed myself!" Ruby admitted with a happy squeal.

"Okay, one: Gross." Yang said dryly. "Second: What's the big idea of these guys coming in trying to kill our friends?"

"I don't know…" Aaron says, closing his eyes in thought. "Something isn't adding up."

"Aaron?"

"Summoning them here costs time, energy, and sacrifices. He wouldn't summon them simply because they have grudges against us, nor to make generals in his army." Aaron explains. "No, I think we're missing pieces to this puzzle."

"There's more to it?" Blake asked.

"Think about it." Aaron explains. "Azrael always causes chaos because he has a deeper plot. Meaning he's using these four for something we've yet to realize."

"Like when he stole the Medal Case to make Koa!" Orpheus says with realization.

"Wait a minute. Azrael said something weird when he turned Gou to an Alter." Kurogasa said. "'An embodiment of Rage. Fitting, to be the antithesis to your embodiment.'"

"Now that you mention it, Ogre said something along those lines too. He said that my power comes from Wisdom… therefore his strength will come from its antithesis." Orion said.

"Our powers come from Courage, Resolve, Wisdom, and Compassion." Kurogasa lists off. "So the antithesis of those four would be…"

"Fear… Indecision… Ignorance… Cruelty…" Orpheus said.

"All negative emotions…" Weiss adds.

"So then what would…" Aaron wondered, as all of four of them thought about it, until they looked at each other as they had the same realization.

"A NEW AURA SPHERE!"


LINE BREAK


Azrael smirked, gazing upon a blank Aura Sphere that looked slightly different placed in a dark glyph that was incomplete. One side had Rachel's symbol with a matching color, as one for Ogre came to life which completed half of the circle.

"Two down… two to go." Azrael mused with a dark chuckle.


GKC: And there you have it guys!

KRD: Finally! Thought we'd never get that done!

SR: You said it, amigo.

KRD: And now that the future characters and Team ROGE are finally introduced, we can get back to RWBY proper!

SR: And all the twists and turns that go with it, right G?

GKC: Eh, we'll see. Probably do a little event that has RWBY meet their creators (maybe punch them in the face a little). Ah, but I'm getting off topic. Let's move on to the preview.

KRD: Wait, what?

Nora: Ooh! Let's break their legs!

SR: But not too badly, because they still need to finish RWBY.

GKC: Roll the clip.


Announcer:Jikai! Remnant's Climax Heroes!

Glynda: Who would like to go next? Any volunteers?

Mercury: I would like to fight…

Aaron: I volunteer as well.

Cinder: So that must be one of those Riders that Azrael mentioned…

Next Time: Assassin vs Destroyer!

?: I'm about to show you a world of pain.


GKC: Peace out, everybody!
