So this chapter was originally going to be...six times as long. I was going to show off multiple forms and all 20 Heisei Riders. That would have been a 25K+ word chapter. I decided not to be crazy and just do what I can haha.
Crovos: First off how did you review twice? Secondly, no. It's all going to be Jaune in the place of the main riders. I'm also not doing fanfics. While yes that would be cool, I would prefer not to do that. A lot of other people are doing that already and I'm trying to stand out.
Saito: I preferred Shooting Star Dragon summoning.
Draco711: Adam no. Maybe on Weiss. Blake is happy with Sun, but Yang? She's also a maybe.
Eternity456: I'm thinking of doing GoH like how I'm handling Gaim, and eventually Solo leveling. Early fights to establish things and show their growth. But I'm debating on making Jaune Daewi or Mori. Cuz let's face it. Mori si cool, but Daewi got the girl.
SpectreCL: No I will not, since I have a different Idea for Gil.
Candlestine: I know that. They also say a few years afterward so I have time to finagle a scene.
GXY-2013: Was never a fan of it sorry.
Speedy24: It's based on Akashi Seiiro's Perfect Rhythm Plays form Kuroko no Basket.
Midnight49: Hey ! you got my references! Thank you for that.
PersonaNinja Lux: the campfire scene was inspired by FF15, so good job noticing that. And lol Reacting to all riders would be a fic all on its own.
Argus456: Ohma Zi-O is a multiversal threat all on his own. So yes, Jaune is going to be OP by the end of this.
Seigfried XIII: No problem! Glad you liked it. And Yes I am a girl haha.
To all those who congratulated me thank you as well!
Also, all the worlds here have been tweaked to fit Remnant and its history.
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or Kamen Rider.
"Huh, that's odd," the Curator said.
"What is?" Sun asked as he and Neptune sat below the other teens.
"Seems like this little video is going to be happening live and broadcasted to the whole theater's rooms. That's nice of Decade."
"What do you mean?" Weiss asked.
"He would usually never do that." From the interactions they saw of him, the groups could agree with that.
The scene opens up to Jaune who was sipping some coffee. Next to him was a large backpack, looking like he was about to go camping. He heard footsteps and looks towards the screen, or rather the camera. This Jaune was dressed in a plaid shirt underneath a leather vest, with jeans to finish off the suit. Overall very normal.
"He looks normal," Blake pointed out.
"Is he going on a trip or something?" Ruby asked.
"Ah no. This version of Jaune travels the world, helping out others," the Curator responded. "He fights for the smiles of others." Since this was being shown to the entire theater, so was the Curator's explanations.
So, of course, the villains had to roll their eyes.
"Oh! Hey Decade, how are you man?" this Jaune greeted. He tilted his head and waved at someone behind him. "Hey, Kivala!"
"Kivala?" Penny asked.
"Hey there!" an older Ruby voice said from off-screen. "How are you?"
"Wait...why did he call me Kivala?" Ruby wondered.
"Haven't you noticed that these versions of Jaune are calling each other by codename…" Weiss was saying before being interrupted.
"They are called Kamen Riders," the Curator told her.
"Ah yes, sorry. These Kamen Riders are going by codenames. Maybe that is your codename?"
"Wait! I have ARMOR!?" Ruby squealed.
"You do."
"Can I see it?" The Curator just laughed but didn't respond, making her pout.
"Doing good," Jaune gave a thumbs up.
"Kuuga," Decade said from behind the camera. "I'm doing a little show right now. I'm asking all of us to Henshin. It's being shown live as some alternate versions of our friends are stuck in a multiverse theater. They've been watching some too emotional worlds recently. So I thought something fun like this would be calming."
"So he does care," Yang grinned. "He's just hiding it. What a softy."
"Oh, that's neat!" Jaune said. "So you're meeting up with everyone from me to Build?"
"How many of them are there?" Nora asked.
"Into the triple digits if you include everyone. But he's going to the main versions of them. So nineteen."
"Yes and no." Jaune gave Decade a weird look. The crowd could feel the man roll his eyes. "There's another one for our generation. His name is Zi-O."
"Oh, I stand corrected. It should be twenty."
"Again neat. So how should I do this?" Jaune stood up. "Just normal?"
"Yeah, just the basic form. If we do it this would take all damn day with just one of us."
"Basic forms?" Ren wondered.
"All of them have auxiliary and upgraded forms. And Decade is right. If we went through all of their forms it would take a while to explain them all."
"I'll go on ahead to prep the others," Ruby said. She appeared on screen for a moment. She was older and still had her red cape. However, she was dressed more casually with a shirt, shorts over leggings, and a red beanie over her head. She leans up and her body covers the camera for a moment before pulling away. "See you later!"
"What just happened?" Penny asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Yang grinned will slightly shaking her little sister. "She kissed him." That had Ruby blushing with a grin on her face.
"Time and place Ruby!" Decade stutters as Ruby giggles and vanishes behind a dimensional wall.
"She can do that too!?" Ruby gasped.
"It's because of the thing that lets her transform and cross dimensions as well. So Ruby had managed to learn to walk the dimensions with her boyfriend," the Curator explained.
Jaune laughs. "It's rare to see you so flustered Decade."
"Shut up and henshin already, damn it."
"Ah! He's embarrassed!" Pyrrha giggled. She could see where part of her Jaune was inside that version.
"Got it!" Jaune stood and then turned to the camera and waved his hand. "Hey there, whoever is watching! You're versions of my friends, so I hope you guys are doing fine wherever you are. And you enjoy our little slice of the multiverse!"
"He seems rather friendly!" Nora grinned.
~Kuuga~
"So a quick preview of this version's Jaune. He travels the world helping people. Usually does odds and ends jobs as he does. However, when he returned to Vale he got up in an incident that showed the revival of sadistic humans from the past who had become monstrous."
Ozpin and Salem who were listening to this in their respective rooms paused what they were doing.
"They were a tribe of violent humans known as the Grongi and killed innocent lives for fun."
"That is disgusting," Ozpin spat. Everyone else who was on the side of good agreed wholeheartedly.
"And why was Jaune caught up in it?" Pyrrha asked.
"He had accidentally got something known as the Arcle, which gave him the power of the ancient king Ozma."
Ozpin looked even more surprised. "What?" he gasped. The Curator spoke into his head.
"Your spirit was still cursed to migrate from body to body, but your original body was preserved with what you can say is the fifth relic, the belt on your body."
"And with the Arcle, Jaune has become Kuuga. Fighting for the sake of other people's smiles against these monsters. With his strongest form being able to destroy the entirety of Remnant if he so wishes."
"Holy shit," Yang gasped. "He's that strong?"
"He is but he's so firmly planted on the side of good you don't have to worry about him."
Jaune puts both hands over his waist and a silver belt manifested on it. It was rather large and had various insignias on the side. In the center was a large red jewel.
"That's the relic," Ozpin whispered.
The blonde held his right hand across his body, left arm right over the belt on the left. Moving his hand from left to right, he shouts. "Henshin!" He then put his right arm to his left side beside his left hand before stretching his arms wide.
Adrian, who was in the game room with his parents and Coco and Velvet, tried to mimic his uncle, getting awws from the girls.
A black under armor covered his body, while red chest armor and shoulder pads appeared. Around the neckline was a golden collar, around the shoulders, and beneath the abs. On his forearms are red wrists guards that end with golden wrist bands. Similarily there were golden pads on his knees with a red center and golden bangles around his ankles. The helmet was mostly black save for the eyes and mouthpiece. The mouthpiece was silver with the eyes being red. A golden outline went around the head with a golden centerpiece that looked like horns were in between his eyes.
"It's simplistic," Weiss hummed.
"I like it," Ruby grinned.
"It's because it has your color scheme," Nora laughed.
"S-Shush!" That got more laughs from other people.
He gave them a thumbs up.
"Thanks, Kuuga," Decade said.
"No problem!" Jaune's cheery voice came from the intimidating armor. Before it vanished and he waved at the people.
"I would like to become his friend," Penny said. "He seemed nicer than a lot of people I've met."
"You should wait until you see Forze," the Curator stated before not continuing, getting the crowd to anticipate that one.
~Agito~
The next place they arrived at was a quaint little restaurant named Agito. Standing there was Jaune in a chef's outfit.
"Oh wow," Saphron said. "Did we finally get him to follow our househusband route?"
"Househusband route?" Velvet asked.
"My sisters and I trained him in the art of housekeeping. He may be lazy but if he gets to it, he can be the perfect house husband."
"A little," the Curator responded. "This Jaune is an amnesiac who lives in the Xiao-Long/Rose household. He does do all the cleaning and the like, to the point that he went away for a week for a cooking convention and the entire household nearly collapsed in their filth and own hunger."
That got the various members of that family blushing. They weren't that bad, but if they had someone like that for a few years...they can see it.
"So basically like Klien for myself and Winter?" Weiss asked.
"Yes."
"So you got the heads up?" Decade asked.
"Haha, yeah," the Jaune laughed. He looks at the camera. "As you know my name is Jaune, but my codename, so to speak, is Agito."
"So he named the restaurant after himself?" Blake asked.
"Well, he wasn't the one who named himself…" The Curator hummed. "In this universe, the Brother Gods fought millennia ago over what to do with humanity. In that fight, the God of Darkness won. He killed his brother in his anger."
Once again Salem and Ozpin were enthralled. To hear alternate versions of the ones who cursed them was intriguing.
"But in his last breath, he scattered his body to throughout Remnant. Putting within various people, and their lineages, the Seed of Agito. Anyone who can awaken a Semblance in this world has a chance to awaken that Seed and become Agito, the avatar of the God of Light."
"So Jaune is the person wielding that power?" Summer asked. "For what?"
"To oppose the Evolved Grimm, known as Lords, who are under the direct rule of the God of Darkness. To keep humanity and Faunus kind, under rule and thumb. Killing any who has the potential of becoming Agito."
"Pathetic," Salem hissed. "To think he would still try to keep up under his control."
"Do not fret Grimm Queen. At the end of his adventure, Jaune manages to get through to that god."
"Oh does? And how does this boy do it?" Salem asked.
"He kicked God in the face. Surprised him and weakened him. Forced him to accept that mortals need to learn on their own. Hence leaving humanity and Faunus kind in charge of their destiny."
Salem, the Queen of Grimm, somehow felt vindicated. Now only if she can get into that world to shake his man's hand...or take him to bed.
He then crosses his arms in front of his waist and a bright light shone from his waist. A red belt appeared. I'm the center was a black buckle with yellow jewel encircled by golden metal.
"The Seed of Agito I presume?" Blake asked.
"Yes."
He then put his arms to either side of his waist and pushed his right arm forward slowly. "Henshin!" Slamming both hands on the two large buttons on the sides of his belt, his form shifted with a bright light.
"That wasn't complicated! I can do that!" Ruby shouted. Standing up the fifteen years did the pose.
"I preferred Kuuga's better!" Sun replied. He mimicked the move.
"Oh, are we going to do this?" Yang asked. "Let's all wait until all of it and have a pose off!"
"You are on!" Nora grinned.
His form shifted much like Kuuga.
Like him, there was black under armor that encases his upper body. His torso had a golden armor that went from his pecs and over his abs. Its sides were silver with the shoulders black. Like Kuuga he had wrist and ankle guards that were yellow instead of red. And his helmet was the same but the horn was much larger.
"I can see it being the form that symbolizes light," Weiss nodded.
"You should see his final form. It's called Shining," the Curator hinted at.
"Thanks," Decade said.
"Ah, no problem," the armor vanished and Jaune grinned.
"Jaune! Hurry backorders are piling up!" Yang shouted from within the building. "Ruby can only go so fast!"
"What am I doing there?" Yang asked.
"You and Ruby help him out at his restaurant sometimes. Ruby because he's her friend, you because you're in love with him." That caused the brawler to look at the version of him on screen and couldn't see it. He wasn't her type after all. She also didn't see the appeal to him.
Maybe she should start looking?
"Got it!" He turned to the camera and nodded before the screen shifted.
~Ryuki~
"This one is going to be a recording," Decade said as he showed off a Jaune an image of Jaune.
"Why?" Penny asked.
"This Jaune died in his world." All the teens, yes even Neptune, paused at that.
"Died...how?" Pyrrha wondered.
"In this world, 13 people were chosen to become Riders. Each of them fighting in a battle royale, with the winner getting a wish."
"So he was murdered for this wish?" Ruby frowned.
"No. He was always trying to make everyone stop fighting. But he died when he was surprised attacked by a Mirror Monster, the beings that live in the world within the mirrors. He was protecting a child during an invasion, stabbed even before he got his armor on. Dying before his best friend Ren."
Ren gulped. He would hate to have to watch as his bother in all but blood die before him. It would be like losing his parents all over again. "We don't have to see that right?" he asked.
"We won't. That world had its time reset. Everyone survived but all their bonds never happened. Jaune never became a Rider. And life continued as if that never happened," The curator said.
Jaune held out a black case with a dragon symbol on the front. He held it out in front of a mirror and a metal belt appeared on his waist, missing a large portion on the front. He held his arm across his chest with his hand flat and shouted. "Henshin!"
"I take it they fight in that mirror world?" Neptune asked.
"They do. The only reason the monsters got into the real world is that they break out of their dimension but those are rare occasions."
He brought his arm down and slotted the case into the middle of the belt. This time the under armor was red and the torso was silver. The guards on his wrist, ankles, and the pauldrons on his shoulders were all black. The helmet was grey and had numerous slits across the front that showed off the red eyes underneath. The top of his helmet was the same dragon symbol. On his left arm was some sort of mechanical dragon head.
"I like it," Yang grinned.
"You just like it because it has a dragon," Ruby countered. That earned a few laughs.
"Well duh."
He put his right hand onto the case and pulled out a card. Sliding the dragon's head forward, he slotted the card and the device shouted.
"ADVENT!"
A large mechanical dragon flew down. It was slim and long without wings, akin to the depictions of dragons in Mistral.
"He has a dragon!?" Pyrrha asked surprised.
"They have a contract with each other," the Curator responded. "Dragredder empowers Ryuki as long as he feeds him the life energy of other beings. Jaune usually using mirror monsters as to not kill people."
"That's neat!" Nora laughed.
~Faiz~
The scene opened up to Jaune in a simple T-shirt and jeans. However, the thing that stood out was on his head. On top of his unruly mop of blonde hair were two wolf ears. Behind him was a dry-cleaner.
"He's a Faunus," Ghira said in surprise. Ilia and Kali were also shocked.
"I did not expect to see that," Kali replied.
"It is the multiverse, so it would make sense that there are forms of hm that would be a Faunus," Ilia explained.
"Asshole," Jaune greeted. He had his arms crossed.
"Jackass," Decade returned the favor.
That got a few chuckles from around the theater. Qrow and Winter especially since he kicked their asses.
"Let's hurry this up. If Blake finds out I'm not working, I won't be getting any food."
"Wait, what?" Blake asked this time, confused.
"You, Jaune and a boy named Oscar all live above a dry-cleaner. You all run it."
"And why does Jaune seem snippy here?" Weiss asked.
"Well, he's a bit of dour person in general but Decade is an asshole and gets on his nerves. He's dealt with assholes all his life so he's not afraid to say it."
"What's his story then?" Sun asked.
"Jaune died at the tender age of 16."
"Um...he's right there though," Penny pointed at the screen.
"And upon his death, he went on to become the next evolutionary step of humanity and Faunus kind: he became an Orphnoch. More bestial than a Faunus and can even use Semblances. They are immune to normal weaponry and Dust. However, they have only a short lifespan unless they can find their king, who makes them immortal."
"Immortal you say," Cinder grinned. "That sounds interesting."
"It leaves you in the monstrous form though." The Curator shook his head. "But in any case, Jaune and Blake fought against the Schnee Dust Company, who was controlled by Orphnochs. Who wanted to eradicate humanity and Faunus to let them reign supreme."
"Sounds familiar," Winter frowned thinking of the White Fang.
"Yes and the original Rider systems for this world were created to protect their king. But Jaune, Adam Taurus, and Sun used them to go up against them."
He grabbed a belt from behind him and physically put it on, unlike the previous ones. Jaune took out an older Scroll that had the image of a tiny helmet on it. Flipping it open, Jaune pressed the "five" button three times before closing it.
"So this is the first technology-based one," Ironwood hummed. "Interesting
"Standing By"
Holding his hand and the Scroll above his head Jaune shouted, "Henshin!" He then put the Scroll into the middle vertically before turning completely horizontally.
"I give it a four. That seemed so boring," Yang said.
"Really? I give it an eight," Sun replied.
"I say seven," Ruby said.
"Complete!"
Red lines appeared over his chest, shoulders, and thighs to his feet. The man flashed and soon he was in his armor. He too had a black bodysuit with a metallic chest. There were some metallic braces around his wrists, ankles and his calves. Two tiny red fins were atop his head with yellow eyes for his visors, making the Phi symbol for his face. This was Faiz.
"Okay, now that bumps it up to an eight," Yang grinned. The glowing red lines and then the flash of light. It was cool.
"Agreed. Mine is up to a ten now!" Sun said.
"Ditto!" Ruby laughed.
"Happy?" Faiz said.
"Yeah," Decade replied dismissively.
"Jaune, where are you?" Blake shouted before she poked her head out of the store. "What are you doing in armor." Her yellow eyes narrow upon seeing the camera. "YOU! You owe us 350 Lien damn it!"
"That reminds me of something you would do," Summer told Qrow as they were eating in the lobby.
"Ah shut it!" he huffed.
"Got to go!"
A dimensional wall came up as a bottle was thrown at the person holding the camera.
~Blade~
The next place sees a Jaune that looks like a slightly poor. However, he seemed okay. "Oh, Decade. How are you?" Jaune asked. He was wearing a blue jacket that had the word BOARD on it.
"Why does he look so poor?" Ruby asked.
"He's not allowed to return home," the Curator replied.
"And why is that?" Neptune wondered. Now that he wasn't fretting over Weiss, he was able to just relax even more. It still hurt but at least he can focus on just the worlds now.
"If he returns to his home, and he gets within the same city as Ren. If the friends to get close to one another the end of the world could happen."
"How come?" Nora asked frowning. She couldn't have her best guy friend and boyfriend not being friends!
"Ren is something known as a Joker Undead. If he wins the battle royale the world is destroyed. And he did win."
"But it seems like the world is normal," Ruby replied.
"It's because Jaune forcefully transformed himself into a second Joker Undead for two reasons. First is to stop the end of the world, forcing the Battle Fight into a stalemate."
"And the second?" Pyrrha asked. Everyone was curious as to why he would do that.
" He chose to be alone in the world, to let Nora and Ren be together." That had the women cooing, and Nora and Ren blushing. Thankful that Jaune did that but saddened that he did.
"You do know you can get a job right?" Decade said from the other side of the camera.
"I do have a job," Jaune rolled his eyes. "I work as a security guard. I just like the jacket."
"Board?" Weiss asked.
"A security company that found the Undead originally."
"Fine. Let's get on with it. Please transform for me."
They didn't see where the belt came from but they saw him holding a card. It was a rather ornate Ace of Spades. Sliding it into the buckle, several smaller cards appeared around his waist until they became a red leather belt.
"That was rather cool," Neptune mumbled.
Jaune used his left hand and did something similar to what Ryuki did and put it across his chest. Turning his hand around he shouted. "HENSHIN!"
His right hand pulled a lever on the belt and the thing holding the card flipped over.
"TURN UP!"
A blue energy wall with the ornate Ace of Spades, now that they see it looked like a rhinoceros beetle. Stepping through the wall, Jaune has become Blade.
"Jaune!" Adrian clapped his hands. He liked the color of this one! It was blue!
This one had a blue bodysuit. Armor went all the way up to his knees this time from his feet. His chest plate was also metallic and right over his diaphragm was the shape of a spade. His shoulder pauldrons were also thicker than everyone else's. The face was in the shape of a rhinoceros beetle with two red eyes staring back. To his left was a sword in a holster.
"I like it, not sure about all the studded leather though," Terra hummed.
"But you said you like that kind of thing," Saphron grinned. That got an eep from Velvet and a grin from Coco.
"Like that?" Blade asked.
"Yeah. Also...Ren is visiting Mantle with Nora and them. You can go back to Ansel for a bit," Decade replied. Since no one could see his face, they can see his shoulders perk up.
"Thanks for the heads up!" Blade said as his armor vanished.
Saphron and the rest couldn't help but grin at his eagerness to return home.
"No problem man. I know the feeling of missing home." The wall appeared and the world changed once more.
~Hibiki~
This time they appeared at a festival. The night sky was bright from a large fire pit in the middle of the area. A lot of Faunus were moving about having a fun time.
"Oh?" Ilia perked up. "Is this in Menagerie?"
"It is. Jaune is a native of the place and works there happily. Although he should stop training since that's all he does."
However, Decade waded through them and found Jaune. He was similarly to Kali and had hakama on. He was also shirtless as he was playing on a giant taiko drum. On his head were a pair of cat ears. They twitched and Jaune turned around.
"Decade! Welcome to the Autumn Festival!" he grinned. "I know you're not here to join the festivities but would you like to stay?"
"He seems friendly enough," Ruby said.
"Well, he is a nice person. Just always busy with his job protecting people from literal monsters."
"So there's monsters on top of Grimm?" Weiss gasped.
"Yes. Jaune and his society fight them using magic turning into something known as Oni."
"Oni?" Kali gasped from her spot in the library. "Like the demons from lore?"
"Yes, but they use their powers for good."
"No thanks. Did Ruby come and tell you what we were doing?" Decade responded.
"Yes. Yes," the Faunus laughed. Grabbing something from his pocket, he flipped it open to show that it was a tuning fork with the image of a demon on it. He tapped it against the taiko drum and the ringing came from the fork, getting the attention of all the Faunus.
All the Faunus in the theater to look at the screen that was in front of them.
Bringing the fork to his forehead, a matching object appeared on his forehead like the one that was on the tuning fork. He erupted in purple flames before he thrust his arm out and the flames vanished.
Jaune was covered head to toe with a shiny purple bodysuit that looked like a cross between metal and leather. The belt has was metallic with a large red, black and gold insignia there. Around his chest and shoulders was some sort of metal harness. The helmet had some red things that made an odd mask on it and that demonic face was on his forehead. On his back were two bachi sticks.
"That one looks more organic," Glynda said.
"It does remind me of the Oni from the legends I heard growing up," Kali shuddered. However, as he stood there she felt safer.
The Faunus cheered at the image. Hibiki shook his head.
"Thank you," Decade said. "However, I thought you wouldn't do that in public."
Hibiki laughed as the flames covered him once more and the armor vanished. "Don't worry. This village is a town of Oni in training. They are all trying to become protectors against the monsters of the world."
"A village full of people who are training to be magical warriors? And all of them Faunus. That is amazing!" Ilia said. And all of them looked happy too.
"Neat. Well, see you around."
~Kabuto~
Decade stopped when he saw Ruby sitting at an outdoor table sighing happily. In front of her was a table full of various dishes of Mistral. Sushi, teriyaki plates, ramen, and various seafood dishes.
Blake was already drooling upon seeing the seafood. Especially all the tuna there. She wasn't the only one though. Everyone looked at the spread and felt hungry.
"Did we go back to the Agito world?" Pyrrha asked rubbing her stomach.
"No. His restaurant was vegetarian," Neptune pointed out. "This looks Mistarlian."
"Ruby…" Decade groaned. "You always get caught up in this world."
"Sowwy!" She said with a mouthful.
Ruby blushed as everyone looked at her. "I don't do that!"
"You do though," Weiss giggled. That made her partner blush even more.
"Please don't talk with your mouth full," a deeper more sophisticated version of Jaune's voice popped up. Walking from out of the door, a Jaune came up and placed a platter of sweets in front of Ruby.
This Jaune is far more well dressed. Still, he wore a shirt, jeans, jacket, and scarf, but they were all designer in name. That and he looked fucking amazing. His hair was even styled.
"Damn," Coco whispered. Pyrrha, Weiss, Ruby, Penny, and even Cinder blushed. This one looked so suave. More so than a lot of other versions of him.
The crowd could hear Decade's annoyance just from how the man stood before him. Ruby looked at the camera and grinned.
"If there's any version of Jaune that gets on my boyfriend's nerves it's this one. Namely, because they both have such big egos," she grinned.
"Oi, I'll have you know my ego is average," Decade countered.
"Seeing him get teased by his girlfriend," Qrow wiped a tear from his eye. "And it's a version of my niece. It's so good."
"I'm fine with mine. For I am the man walking the path of heaven, the man who will rule over all," the Jaune said pointing his right hand towards the sun.
"Oh god," Mercury cringed. "Even I can feel the ego wafting off of him."
"If he can back it up, I wouldn't be surprised he'd be that proud," Cinder said.
"Well, this version of Jaune is good at literally everything he does," the Curator said. "Every. Single. Thing."
"God, you're insufferable," Decade grunted.
"Takes one to know one," Winter huffed.
Jaune then opened his hand and moved his jacket open, showing off a simple metal belt with some weird landing pad in the very middle of it. A large red metallic creature flew in and he caught it easily. It was another rhinoceros beetle. "Henshin."
"Another scientific one," Ironwood noted. While Blade was also based in science, it was powered by magic. This one wasn't.
"And this world is?" Ozpin asked sipping his tea.
"Alien bugs arrived on Remnant and started replacing people. ZECT a group created bug-based devices that let the people fight them off. Jaune is just the best one there is. Much to the annoyance of ZECT since he's not part of their force."
Slotting the beetle into the pad on the belt. The beetle, or was it the belt, that shouts it to the crowd.
"HENSHIN!"
"You know that word is growing on me," Pyrrha grinned.
"I know right?" Nora said. This time she stood up and mimicked Blade and did his pose. "HENSHIN!"
Cyan colored hexagonal energy covered his body, making the armor. It was bulkier than all the others. This one had a really heavy upper body. It was silver all around the black bodysuit. It had a lot of metallic pieces over his arms and feet. Its helmet was also bulky with just a single large cyan colored visor. His codename was Kabuto.
"Ugh, worst one I've seen," Yang frowned. "It's too bulky!"
"Give it a moment."
Kabuto then popped up the horn of the beetle. All the bulky parts of his armor lifted and were floating up with electricity.
"What's this?" Blake asked.
Ruby's eyes widened. "Oh shoot! Got to go!" She shouted as she summoned a wall...stealing some of the food with her.
Only for a small dimensional wall appeared above Ruby and a small plate of sweets onto her lap. "YAY! Thank you!"
"No problem," Kivala's voice drifted.
"Cast off." He then pulled the horn to the left to right. The Kabuto Zecter opening up.
"CAST OFF!"
A force of wind came off his body, pushing the floating bits off. Decade took a step to the right. However, once that was done, they could see a sleeker version of the armor. With all the bulky silver part gone, he was far slimmer. The armor was now red and a large horn went down the middle of the helmet, showing off the rhinoceros beetle design.
"Okay, while it looks like a bug, it looks amazing spanking," Yang said.
"I don't like the design," Penny gagged. "That's a large bug."
"Is this adequate?" he asked. "If so I would like to go. I'm cooking something at the Schnee household."
"Why is he at our place?" Weiss asked.
"He's hired by famous and influential people for his cooking. Heck, anything the does really."
"That's like...the complete opposite of our Jaune originally," Ren frowned.
"Well, he also started skill-less but after the asteroid hit and the Worms appeared. He trained to be the best he could be."
"Yeah, yeah get going," Decade said, his left hand visible for the people to see. Kabuto slapped the right side of his belt.
"Clock Up."
"CLOCK UP!" Kabuto vanished from view.
"What did he just do?" Sun asked.
"Oh. Worms and the Riders of that world can move at the speed of light. To them, the world is frozen as they speed around the world."
That caught everyone off guard. "They are that fast?" Ruby said with stars in their eyes. "I wish I could go that fast!"
"Show off…" Decade snorted.
~Den-O~
Decade appeared on a train of all places.
However, no one seemed to care as they saw him arrive. It seemed like a normal occurrence.
"Well he's been doing stuff like that all day and no one is freaking out," Sun nodded.
"Duh, he's been going to places with people who know him. Of course, they wouldn't be freaking out!" Nora grinned.
"Welcome, Decade, it has been a while," a voice said. Sitting off to the side eating some pudding was Prof. Port in a fancy suit. He was eating slowly as if to not make the flag in the middle of the pudding fall.
"Ah, Peter. He looks healthy here," Ozpin said. "What is he here?"
"He is the owner of the DenLiner. A train that travels the sands of time."
"I'm sorry did you say the sands of time?" Glynda asked.
"Yes. They travel throughout time and pursue those causing time crimes."
"You can say that. But time is relative to you isn't it? Being on a train that goes through the sands of time makes that easier," Decade laughed. "Now were is Jaune, Owner?"
"Probably getting his hands full with his partners." The Owner laughed before he took another bite...and then the flag fell. He dropped the spoon and sighed. "I guess that's the end of that."
That got weird looks from the people but the Curator didn't respond.
Decade shook his head and walked through the train, opening a door and waving at a sexy woman...was that a young Goodwitch!? "Yo! Glynda," Decade greeted as he passed by the stunning woman in a leather uniform that showed off her curves. She had a strand of pink hair that dangled over her face.
"Damn," both Ironwood and Qrow said. That look on a younger Glynda looked amazing.
They both got a light slap on the back of their heads for that from the woman herself. "Stop staring."
"Decade! Do you want some coffee?" Glynda asked.
"No thanks." He went to the next cart, where he saw what looked more like an office. Standing there meekly was Jaune dressed in a big jacket, red scarf, and jeans. Standing next to them was a red demon thing with large horns.
"What is that?" Ren asked.
"An Imajin. A person from the future who wants to change the past to fit the needs they want," the Curator responded. "While some are evil, Jaune and Terra's are kind."
"What does Terra have to do with it?" Saphron asked.
"That's a large plot of the story so I won't say. Just that Terra loves you very much Saphron, to the point that she raged a one-woman war for the timeline." Terra and Saphron blushed as they looked at each other and then smiled.
"Come on Jaune! Let's go! The others are out on a mission we should go to! I heard that a new time punk is out there challenging people. Let's go fight that kid!" the demon looking thing said.
"Momotaros, we're just going to wait here for like ten minutes for…" Jaune stopped and turned towards the camera. His voice was far meeker than all the others they had met. "Decade."
"Okay, that one seems like the Jaune we met day one," Ruby giggled. As did Pyrrha. Yang meanwhile gagged. All she could remember was him vomiting on her shoes.
"Oi asshole! You can't just ask us for things like that out of the blue! Achillies is on duty too and he's getting all the good fights!" Momotaros shouted.
"Achillies?" Penny asked.
"Jaune's grandson. The son of his daughter Athena, who is his child with Pyrrha," the Curator said.
"YESSSSSS!" The champion yelled. After all these worlds, after all those other girls. Pyrrha finally got one with her and her crush with it! They had a child and a grandkid.
Everyone else in the theater room just laughed.
"Oi, peach boy, shut it. I just wanted five minutes of your time. You can do that job of yours afterward," Decade told them. "Do you mind Den-O?"
"O-Of course," Jaune stutters. He grabs a silver belt with a light coming from the buckle and four buttons on it. Securing it on, he shows off a hard case that had a train pass on it. "Let's go Momotaros."
"What does he mean by that?" Neptune asked.
"You'll see soon."
"Tch," Momotaros grunted crossing his arms. "Fine. But I expect to fight someone cool after this!"
"I heard Zi-O is out around the sector during the 1800s. Meeting President of Mantle!Jaune," Decade responded. "Thankfully we're exempt from his power so you guys can duke it out there."
"President of Mantle?" Ironwood asked bewildered. "And he has a sort of power?"
"He's one of the multiversal Jaunes. And he can weaponize the multiverse to a degree that almost anyone not named Jaune instantly dies."
"Fuck…" Qrow whistled. "That would be useful against that group Zi-O is after."
"Indeed. I suspect that is why your Jaune went there."
"Awesome! Let's do this Jaune!" The Imajin jumped up and turned spectral before entering Jaune's body.
His body flashed red and slumped for a moment. He then stood up, his usually blue eyes turned red and his hair stood up on end. A large streak of red was now in his hair and Jaune had a smirk on his face.
"He did what!?" Ruby shouted.
"Posessed Jaune."
"Like a ghost!?" Nora yelled in fear.
"Let's show these punks how cool we are!" Momotaros shouted using Jaune's body. Holding the Rider Pass, he pressed the red button. It began to flash red and playing a jingle. "Henshin!" He grinned. Scanning the Pass, the belt announced.
"Sword Form!"
A white and black armor appeared on his body. His gloves, boots, collar, and sides of the helmet are white. Over his chest was a grey bar that went across vertically. Going from his the back of his head to the end of the mask, and onto his chest. It looked like train tracks.
Floating around him were four pieces of armor that flipped over and over again, until they slammed onto him making a second chest armor, this one red lined with silver. It covered his chest and shoulders, while two bands of red appeared on his thighs. The last one part of the armor that manifested was a red piece that slid down the tracks on the face of the mask before splitting down the middle. This made two red eyes for the visor, leaving a yellow piece of metal over the tracks.
"That is a sleek design," Ruby said drooling over Den-O's form. "I approve!"
Den-O stood cockily before pointing at himself with his right thumb. "Ore…" He then crouched down and spread his arms wide. "SANJOU!"
"Or Snjo!" Adrian tried to mimic the pose within his mother's hands.
"What does it mean?" Saphron asked as she bounced her son.
"I have arrived."
"Heh, how was that?" Den-O asked.
"Still got that flare Momotaros," Decade laughed. A card was flipped towards him. "Use that for your pass. It will take you to the dimension Zi-O is at."
"Thanks, magenta asshole!" Den-O ran off.
"Sheesh, I didn't even get to say that Zi-O would probably kick his ass...seeing as he met their future selves." The dimensional wall appeared and he went to the next world.
~Kiva~
The next world Decade appeared at was within a large auditorium. Gentle violin music was playing. Decade's camera turned towards the spotlight, and they saw Jaune there. He was the one masterfully playing the violin. The song that played felt as if Jaune was remembering something sad.
The people stopped speaking for a moment to just listen to the song. It moved some people's hearts as they heard it. The melody and sound of the playing felt so melancholy.
When he finished he took the instrument off and sighed. "Oi, Jaune, we have a guest," a voice said from the above them.
Jaune blinked and turned to face Decade. "Oh. Decade it's been a while," Jaune smiled, but everyone could see that there was some sadness to it.
"What's up with him?" Emerald asked from her room.
"That question will be answered quickly," the Curator responded.
"Did Ruby and I come at a bad time?" Decade asked.
"It's almost the anniversary," a deep voice replied. A tiny mechanical looking yellow and black bat with red eyes that took up most of his face landed on his shoulder.
"Ah! He looks so cute!" Nora squealed. "I want one."
"Kivat," Decade greeted.
Yang snorted. "That such a lame name."
"I thought you'd like it," the Curator said. When the Brawler looked at him he answered. "It's a portmanteau of the Mistralian word 'kiba" and 'bat". With kiba meaning fang." It took a moment before Yang started laughing.
"Oh, that is a good pun."
"Decade. Thank you for letting me see my sister again. She seems to be having fun with you and Ruby."
"Wait...Kivat...Kivala?" Penny started thinking about what she had seen so far. "Is friend Ruby's Transformation trinket related to this world?"
"It is. She has a tiny white bat friend named Kivala, which helps her transform into Kamen Rider Kivala."
"Don't mention it," Decade waved his hand before turning to face Jaune. "Anniversary?"
"The death of my queen and my love," Jaune said softly. His blue eyes were a little tearful.
"Oh Jaune," Pyrrha said.
"Ah, yeah...Weiss right?" Jaune nodded his head.
Weiss stopped and looked at the screen with wide eyes. That hauntingly beautiful melody was for her? And from the looks of things, this Jaune truly loved her other-self.
"I'm sorry we can do this next time."
"No. It's fine. We got time for this." the blonde shook his head. "It will also keep my mind off of sad stuff for a bit. Besides, its been a while since I've gone back to my basic form." Jaune laughed.
"That's too true," Kivat grinned. "You were usually going straight to Emperor form now."
"Emperor Form is Jaune's strongest form here. It gives him the power to kill immortal beings known as Fangires." The Curator looked to the grinning Yang. "Yes, it is a mix of fang and vampire."
"I'm loving this world already," she laughed.
"It helps keep people in line, especially after big brother Adam has gotten his rule in order." Jaune pushed his left hand out and Kivat flew down. "Let's do this."
"Big brother Adam?" Blake gasped.
"Jaune and Adam are half-brothers, born from the queen of the Fangires but with different fathers. After a grueling battle, Jaune managed to convince Adam to not go the path of the destroyer and work together with human and Faunus kind."
"So you mean to tell me, that Jaune managed to stop the whole White Fang Debacle?" Ghira asked in surprise.
"Yes. They are no working with the other aces to help improve Remnant. Also to atone for centuries of war and death."
"BITE!" Kivat said as he bit Jaune's hand. A belt red as blood appeared on his waist, while odd colorful markings appeared on his face, akin to stained glass.
"Henshin!" Jaune stated.
Kivat flew down and hung upside down in the middle of the belt, and quicksilver covered his body. It took the silhouette of the armor before breaking like glass.
Standing there was Kiva. A black under armor was his base like almost everyone else. On his wrists and left ankle were metal guards. His entire right foot was covered in the same metal, however, it was chained up. The same could be said for the odd metal jacket thing he had on. The shoulders were also decked in chains.
His chest was blood red with black outlines along his muscles. The last thing was his helmet which looked like a red bat, with the eyes of the visor being yellow bat wings. His hands had red metallic gloves on it.
"That looks so gothic," Weiss said. She did like the image though.
"Damn," Roman said from the game room. Neo nodded.
"I like the style," the ice cream themed woman grinned.
"Was that good?" Kiva asked.
"Yes, it was. Thank you for your time Kiva." Kivat came off his perch and nodded. "I hope you do well at this time."
~Decade~
The next world Decade appeared in was a quaint little shop. It looked like a photo studio. He heard a snap and the camera swerved to see Ruby standing there. She had her camera in hand. "It's your turn, " Ruby grinned.
"Ah, it's their home," the Curator stated. "The Blooming Rose Studios. The studio that traverses the multiverse."
"That's where Jaune and I live?" Ruby grinned. The house looked great!
Jaune chuckles and hands her the working camera. A tiny white bat flew into view. "Oh my. Are we taking a picture of the great Jaune?" the tiny female bat teased.
"Kivala," Ruby said to herself. Maybe she could somehow get the bat to let her transform? Convince Decade to bring her somehow.
"Yes, we are," Ruby laughed with her partner.
"Oi," Jaune huffed. "I can hear you two you know."
"That's why we're doing it," Kivala replied. "Henshin for us please."
"For a small bat, she has a sensual voice," Yang complained. "Ruby shouldn't be hanging out with a thing like that."
"Yang, I'm fifteen! I'm old enough to know things!"
June snorted before producing a magenta belt buckle.
"Wait a god damn minute!" Qrow shouted from his spot in the lobby. Winter also pointed at the screen. "His belt buckle was white before! White is it magenta now!?"
"Because I got an upgrade Qrow," Decade grinned at the camera. "Upon meeting Zi-O my belt transformed. I'm as strong as my Violent Emotion form now in base form. FYI, that's the form that can destroy worlds."
"HAX! I CALL HAX!" Qrow roared at the screen.
Attaching it to his waist, a black belt appeared. He tugged on the sides, forcing the thing to go vertical. He takes a card from his Ridebooker and shows off it's his card.
"Henshin!" he shouted.
This time 20 silhouettes appeared around him, while several bars floated above his head. He slammed the belt closed and all twenty silhouettes converge onto him. The infamous magenta armor appeared on his body and the bars fall onto his face.
There standing was Decade, in all his glory. "Happy?" Decade asked.
"No, I am not!" Winter frowned. She wanted to kick this version's ass. But if he buffed himself up, that would be harder.
"I wasn't talking to you Winter."
Ruby just giggled. "Of course. But it is getting late. Why don't we take a break? We can meet W and the rest next time."
"So we're stopping at ten?" Ozpin asked.
"Seems like a good place to stop," Tai replied.
Jaune laughed as his armor vanished. "Sure. It has been a while since you and I just hung out." He looked at the camera. "I'll continue for you guys later. I'm going on a date with my better half."
Ruby blushed again.
The screen just turned off.
"So it seems we will be straying from that for a bit. I shall put it in a different world. One that was recorded," The Curator said.
"Oh? What kind of world will it be?" Neptune asked.
"One with a lot of water." That caused Neptune, Blake and a few others to leave the room.
The ones sitting there now were Ozpin, James, Glynda, Raven, Tai, Summer, and Qrow.
The screen opens up to a video of Jaune walking towards rampaging the ocean. The blonde looked older, far buffer than usual. The roots of his hair were darker but it became its glorious golden blonde as it went out. He also had a beard.
Dressed like a biker, he was downing a bottle of vodka before he tossed the empty bottle over his shoulder before jumping into the chaotic waters.
Once he entered it, he seemed to shoot, literally going faster than a car through the water with a smirk.
It still takes me about 3 days to write a chapter. The problem is finding time in those three days Ahah. So yes, the next world is the DCEU version of Aquaman!
