As the sun rose, Pyrrha was up early in one of the open training fields, as the huntress was once again doing some personal training. She had many things to live up to, and being within Beacon meant a lot to her and her hometown, especially since she's meant to be a 'prodigy' in a way. Something she felt she never truly deserved to earn from.
Once she was finished, she breathed a sigh of relief as she went to sit down and rest. As she sat there, the red-head looked up at the rising sun, feeling uneasy as well as unfulfilled. She knew something else was wrong at the moment with her, yet right now she couldn't place it.
Was she not strong enough? Was she lacking in her technique? Was she realizing this wasn't her life? She just didn't know and it was frustrating her! And with a heavy swing of her spear, surprisingly a swift slash flew out, cutting the metal slab nearby meant for range practice, like it was paper.
Pyrrha was left stunned by this display. It seems she did find out what was wrong with her after all...
She was a Little Star.
(Insert Opening - Heroes - Ryota Fujimaki - Zero and Geed Chronicles)
A short, acoustic guitar begins to play, as images of Remnant, Ultraman, Huntsmen/Huntresses, and the Ultra/Kaiju Capsules begins to appear one by one, quickly as more instrumentals chime in.
[Hikari no naka de, Yami ga umarete, Ookiku hakari wo, Kuzushiteshimau toki]
It then shows Cody waking up, surrounded by a ruined city and galaxy as the young teen stood up, confused and wondering where he was as he looks around.
As he stayed there a faint whisper in his ear made him turn around, to only see Belial for a moment there, forcing him awake from his dream to reveal the people of Beacom Academy, with Ruby holding her hand out to him, before cutting away to the title card.
[Yamiyo ni sakebi, Chi wo hau monotachi, Machi wa kirisakare, Kizuna wa tatareru]
After the title vanishes the teen smiles as he tries to reach out before the bright colored field cracks and shatters, revealing that of Salem and the rest of her pawns behind her as the shadows of the Kaiju and Ultra Capsules followed by Belial as it's dangerous shadow loomed over him.
Cody, now scared, was about to back up until he felt Ruby's hand against him. Calming him down as he held up his Geed Riser before pressing on it and forming Geed, as it then charged into battle against the threat.
[Zero ni naru kakugo wa aru ka, Shimei wo eranda senshitachi]
It then looms over Cody, sitting in an alley as rain pours down on him hard. The young teen looking at the ground softly before he glances at his Ultra Capsules as Zero soon appears nearby before he then closes his eyes.
The screen then pans away and towards Ruby as she sits there on top of the building, the young teen glancing down to where Yang stood there, the young teen sighing softly with a smile before she jumped off and landed near her sister while Weiss just sighs heavily in the background.
[Machi wa kirisakare, Kizuna wa tatareru]
The screens then gains static as Blake stands there with Adam, growling in disgust of how the humans of this world are, causing him to turn to be greeted with Roman and the rest of the White Fang along with some tech before the group looked up to be greeted by several Kaiju summoned by Fukuide Kei. And while they stand there, Belial grins from his dimension as he plans his attack.
[Sakete wa toorenu tatakai e, Hikari wo obite]
Back at Beacon, Cody begins to walk around before the same colorful field surrounds him, causing him to look around to see Team Rwby and JNPR among others walking around him before they vanish into darkness, leaving the teen there. As the color fades off and shatters once more, the young teen floats around in space, only seeing death and destruction caused by Belial as the teens beings look down, only for Cody to see Kei using the systems in Remnant to cause chaos.
[Mae e mae e mae e...]
Cody called out to Ruby as he rushed ahead, being bombarded by the energy and darkness that the being is emitting as it pushes him away. The young girl also notices as she reaches out for him as he does the same, trying to take their hands before they grasp and a bright light where Geed Royal Mega Master stands there tall.
[Susume bokura no hero... Asahi ni inori akatsuki ni chikau]
Ultraman Geed then begins to battle against the Grimm along with the Kaiju, Belial Fusions and Belial himself as Zero backs him up. The two fight to save lives as Team RWBY and JNPR fight alongside them on the ground, dealing with the White Fang and Grimm as Cinder and Salem blast some darkness at the group.
[Heiwa no kane wo..., Narase hero...]
Geed then changes into its several Ultra Fusions, dealing with the Belial Fusions along with the teams as Ultraman Zero Beyond joins in the fray to help their comrades. They soon fight as a silhouette of Ultimate Finale stood behind Geed softly before fading away.
[Bokura wa anata kara, Hontou no yuki o shiru]
Geed and RWBY then team up to deal with Salem and Belial as the two duke it out over one another, with Geed dealing with Belial that has erased countless planets to Ruby unlocking her hidden power as their next attacks shatter reality.
[Tataeyo our hero, Tataeyo our hero~]
Cody then opens his eyes, showing himself now on the campus grounds, with his capsules in hand and Ruby nearby as he notices his friends now there, smiling at him. It brought a smile to the young teen's face as he looks back up to see a rainbow over them all before the title reveals one last time.
"Go! Hit 'em right in the kisser!" Nora cheered.
"Come on, Cody! Don't give up!" Ruby encouraged the young Ultra.
"I'm trying!" he said, "But it's too much!"
"Don't be like that man! I thought you're an Ultraman!" Jaune complained.
"Hey, do you want to do this?!" Cody growled as he struggled with something before he screamed in anger.
GAME OVER...
"Ugh! Stupid Gamedus! Why does he have to be this cheap!?" Cody growled as he threw the controller to the side.
"He is the final boss after all." Blake noted, as the young Ultra was playing another round of 'Remnant Chronicle' and the event of facing against the ultimate evil, Gamedeus.
"Yeah, but why did they have to nerf Don Shine so hard?!" he grumbled, "He had better specials than Sir Brave or Nega-Mighty!"
"But he lacks in raw kill power due to said special attacks being kind of wonky" Ren pointed out.
"Plus… isn't Don Shine like… bottom tier?" Ruby pointed out, "I mean, regular Mighty is a lot faster…"
"T-True but… I just like playing with him more…" Cody said sheepishly.
"Well, maybe we should take a break before we accidentally break the controller…" Jaune noted.
Cody sighed heavily as he nodded, exiting the game to take a breather along with the others who attempted as well. "Man… I was so close this time! Now I have to wait another year to face him again!" The young Ultra whined.
"I don't get what's so interesting about a lousy game, like that?" Weiss questioned as she was studying instead of playing with them.
"Come on, Weiss. The Gamedeus Unlock Challenge happens only once a year. If I was able to beat him, then I would have unlocked him without having to go through the gacha system… again…"
"Dang money-grubbing suits…" Nora complained.
"Ugh.. you're all childish…." Weiss sighed out.
"You just wouldn't get it, Weiss." Ruby huffed.
"Well at least I chose to actually finish my homework instead of slacking off!" the white-haired girl retorted.
"I always work better when it's the day before it's due." Cody waved off, nonchalantly.
"Aren't you rushing your homework then?" Ren pointed out.
"Hm? What do you mean?" Cody asked, confused.
"Nevermind…" Ren noted as Pyrrha arrived.
"Did I miss something here?" she asked.
"Just missed out on another close fight! Cody had Gamedeus on the ropes for once!" Ruby said cheerfully.
"Well that's… nice…" she noted before patting Ruby in the head… unintentionally burning her.
"Ow!"
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Pyrrha gasped, as the others soon turned to her with a bit of a surprise look.
"Pyrrha… are… you…?" Jaune questioned her.
She then explained what happened to her during her training session.
"Another Little Star… That will be problematic for a bit." Ren noted.
"And REM still has yet to explain herself on the removal situation." Nora added with a pout.
"She is running several thousand theories all at once, so we should give her some slack." Cody defended the AI.
"Okay, so… which Ultraman does Pyrrha have within her…" Jaune noted before he realized what he said, "Okay, that came out wrong…"
"Well, as I said, it rushed out like a air blade." Pyrrha reminded.
"Are there any Ultramen who use swords?" Ruby questioned.
"Some, but from the description of Ms Nikos's condition, a sword user wouldn't be the case." REM's voice responded, causing the group to flinch in shock from her sudden outburst.
"Rem…. I thought I told you, to warn us before you pop in like that…" Cody reminded as he held his chest from the shock.
"I apologize…" she said, "However, I do have a guess as to who it might be…"
"Oh, oh! Tell us!" Ruby and Nora said, both eager as they were the most interested in the Ultra's.
REM then showcased some footage of another Red Ultraman, this one having a fully red body, save for some silver streaks on the chest and legs, and some armor on the shoulders and the upper part of his chest. His head was almost like that of a knight with a green gem on the forehead and a large cutter-like mohawk on top.
"He looks funny!" Nora snickered.
"This is Ultra Seven. One of the greatest physical fighters of the Ultra's and one of the Ultra Brothers along with the original Ultraman." Rem informed the group. "Based on your symptoms, Ms Nikos. I believe you hold his power within you."
"I see…" Pyrrha said, "Is there anything more about him?"
"Plenty. Shall I start up the History Protocol, then?" Rem asked.
"N-No! No… er… w-we don't have time, Rem. Just give us anything short that you can offer." Cody interrupted with a heavy sigh.
"Ultraseven's most notable ability is his Slugger Eye, with this, he is able to slice through various Kaiju with ease. Observe" REM explained before showing some footage of a striped monster being cut up by Ultraseven's Slugger… much to the teenagers' horror.
"Woah! Brutal!" Nora said with no hint of fear.
"P-Please keep it PG, next time, Rem?" Ruby requested, as she was shivering in terror.
"Indeed, Ms. Rose…" REM noted.
"So, now we have to find a way to remove Seven's power out of Pyrrha…" Jaune noted, "I don't know about you, but I do not like the idea of Pyrrha cutting someone up…"
"Same…" Pyrrha nodded.
"Rem, have you yet to find the actual case of it yet?" Cody asked.
"Negative, Master Cody…"
"Welp, down to chance again." Yang sighed. "Let's just hope we have an easier time for this one."

Meanwhile, Zero had soon landed in a nearby forest after arriving to Remnant.
"Alright, now that I'm here… I might need a disguise…" the blue Ultra said as he took in the surroundings.
He soon looked at his Aegis Bracelet, only to gasp in shock. The item given to him by Noa, was cracked and busted after being stuck in the wormhole created by the Bulton. He touched and felt it, feeling somewhat upset that his negligence after the attack gave him practically no way to return home for now.
"Damn it… Sorry Ultimate Aegis…. I'll try to fix you up as soon as I can." Zero said with a heavy sigh as he for now, had to use his cloak to hide himself, as the Aegis was his ticket to be in disguise, but without it, he could only rely on the cloak to conceal himself for the time being.
He soon spotted Jaune talking to Pyrrha as they were having some down time before the next class began.
"Pyrrha? Can.. I ask you something?" Jaune requested from his teammate.
"Yeah, what is it?" she asked
"W-Well… I was wondering… I-if you could help give me some extra training?" Jaune requested, "Y-You already know that, I'm struggling, but unique with Cody who has that extra assistance, I don't. And I want to get better so I can be a better leader."
"Hmmm… I suppose I could…" she noted
Jaune looked to her, a bright smile on his face as he sighed with relief, "Thanks Pyrrha. I really owe you." He said, only for in seconds, his eyes widened as coming from the treetops was a Grimm, flying towards the two, ready to strike. The blonde leader simply felt his legs move as he pushed Pyrrha away just in time as the Grimm struck Jaune.
"JAUNE!" Pyrrha cried out as she saw the blonde fall to the ground, but what shocked her more was the fact he was bleeding, and badly. "Jaune? Why didn't you use your Aura?"
"A-Au...ra…?" He got out confused, "I… don't… know what… that is…" He said as he began to feel his body grow colder.
Now this worried Zero, he wasn't going to have someone die in front of him. Soon, he loomed over the two as he knelt before the blonde. Pyrrha, understandably, was shocked by the sudden appearance of the blue Ultra.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help…" he told her.
"You… can save him…?" She asked.
"Yeah, just… stand back…"
Zero soon touched his Color Timer before he soon began to shower Jaune with light. It soon blinded Pyrrha before it fading, as the Ultra disappeared and the dangerous wound on Jaune was now fully healed as the blonde began to stir and wake up.
"Did… someone get the number of that Grimm?" Jaune groaned out, leaning up.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha gasped, seeing her friend was alive and well as she hugged him. "You scared me!"
"Uhh…" the blonde muttered as he didn't know what had happened, but soon hugged back since he knew that she needed the hug… even though his skin was burning at that point due to the Little Star in her body.
"Hehe, shall I leave you two for a moment?" Zero asked, yet only Jaune could hear as it freaked him out.
'What the?! Who are you?!' Jaune thought in his mind.
"Zero, Ultraman Zero. Saw how brave you were kid, so I saved you by fusing with you."
'Wait, so you're an Ultraman just like Cody?', he asked.
"Huh? There's another Ultraman, here?"
'Yeah, he's called Ultraman Geed here…' he explained.
"I didn't know Remnant even had one. But eons did change from the last time I was here." Zero noted, "Also, you might want to let go if you don't want any handprints burnt into ya…"
Jaune soon began to feel the burning sensation more as he yelped as it caused the two to part, "Ow, ow, ow, ow!"
"Sorry! I forgot about my Little Star." Pyrrha apologized.
"It's fine, no skin off my back…" Jaune noted, "Hopefully…"
"Well, I should give you a reward for saving me, I guess." She smiled, "So, I'll help unlock your Aura."
"Y-Yeah, that's probably a good idea…" the blonde agreed.
Pyrrha smiled as she gave the chant as in moments, a golden white glow covered over Jaune as in seconds his Aura healed the burns he had, "Well, seems to me you have a lot of Aura if it can heal you like that." She smiled.
"I didn't really think about it like that..." Jaune noted.
"It is practically a barrier created by your soul and will." She pointed out.
"Think that Zero guy also got it unlocked?" Jaune noted, recalling the fusion with the blue Ultraman
"Hm? Zero?" She blinked.
"The Ultraman that apparently fused with me…" he explained, "He said he did it in order to save my life"
"Wait, he fused with you?" She gasped.
Suddenly, Jaune slicked back his hair as his eyes turned red and blue as he smirked.
"Yo." He called out, as even the voice changed.
Pyrrha was, once more, taken off-guard by the sudden appearance of Zero, only this time he was now possessing her partner.
"Sorry for the intrusion. But this was the only way to save him from that deathblow." Zero-Jaune informed.
"So… you really are an Ultraman?" Pyrrha asked.
"Yes, Ultraman Zero." He saluted. "Gotta admit, the changes to Remnant from the last time I was here are interesting. Didn't know about this 'Aura' thing either. Mind giving some more info to the newbies?"
"Hehe, sure thing." Pyrrha giggled, "Aura, is the physician manifestation of one's own soul and will. Practically granting them a protective barrier to keep the user from any real harm. Of course, it's not everlasting. It can be taxed out until it can't hold itself together anymore, leaving the user vulnerable and thus would need time to recharge."
"Huh, so it's kind of like a protective shield then, it can only take so much damage before it breaks…" Zero-Jaune noted, placing a hand to his chin.
"Correct." Pyrrha nodded. "It also only works on living beings. As things like the Grimm, have no soul."
"Yeah, those demons the god of darkness made to mess with his brother's creations…" he agreed
"Hm? God of Darkness?" Pyrrha questioned.
"Eh, it's nothing important right now." Zero-Jaune waved off, "Anyways, I think I should give your boyfriend his body back."
"H-He's not my boyfriend!" Pyrrha blushed at the joke.
But Zero-Jaune merely laughed it off before his hair drooped down and his eyes changed back to normal. Once Jaune saw he was back in control, he soon noticed the scarlet red Pyrrha.
"Uhhh… what happened?" he asked.
"Er… I-It's nothing… I think we should head back for now. I'll help train you tomorrow." Pyrrha noted.
The blonde merely shrugged as they left for now, knowing that today was already enough trouble as is. Though he did hear the comment Zero made about him, he simply thought it was a joke.
...right?

Meanwhile….
Within one of the districts of Vale, a random man was running, panting heavily as he seemed injured and was trying to avoid something. He constantly looked back, hoping the pursuer was gone, yet with a turn around a corner, he bumped into the attacker, the man from before.
"I suggest this chase ends. Now… Give me what I came for." The black clothed man ordered, coldly glaring at the injured man.
"Listen, I don't know what you want with me!" he cried out.
"You don't need to keep hiding and lying to me… Alien Prote." The dark clothed man said, showing he knew what this man was.
The man soon stepped back, accidentally causing a mask to fall and reveal his true self. As wearing the clothing, was another alien, that was hiding here for a new life. It had black fur on itself whileIt's head somewhat resembled a seashell yet with two glowing eyes.
"T-Then… you know I'm only here to have a new life! I don't want any part of Belial anymore!" He stated, showing it was a deserter.
"Oh, but you cannot simply leave the order…" the cloaked man stated, "You either stay… or die…"
The Alien Prote flinched, as fighting was the last thing on its mind as it used a mist to spray at his attacker, hoping it would be enough to escape.
"Hrmph, fine… death it is…" the cloaked man said as he soon swiftly appeared in front of Alien Prote, striking him with such powerful force, it destroyed its body in a swift burst. Yet dropping from the remains was what appeared to be another Ultra Capsule, except it had a black casing and the picture was what looked to be Zero, yet robotic and with a single eye.
"Finally, now it's time to do what Magma could not… defeat and placate Belial's rebellious son…" the cloaked man noted before he removed it, revealing Kei underneath the cloak.
He soon took up the capsule as he clicked it, signaling its activation.
"Darklops Zero…" He said, soon placing it into his holder as he held up the riser and clicked the trigger. He soon scanned the single capsule as he grinned before pointing it towards the sky as he pulled the trigger once more.
daRkLOps zERo….
A beam soon shot out of the riser as it soon reached the air and began to take form.
"Now, mark the end for this foolish boy's resistance!" Kei ordered as the large machine appeared from the sky, terrifying the people of Vale.
XXX
"Master Cody. I neglect to inform you of a possible attack." REM said to the young blonde.
Cody and the others looked at the holder as he gripped it, "REM? What's up?" He answered.
"There is an enemy Kaiju attacking in town square" the AI informed him.
"Duty never rests, huh?" Ruby smiled.
Cody nodded to her, "I'll beat it and be back." He said, as he clicked the Riser, ready to fight.

ULTRAMAN GEED: PRIMITIVE
As Geed arrived to the scene, the Darklops Zero soon glared at the giant, as it had a bronze body with black markings and purple lights to it.
"Is it me…. Or does this thing somewhat feel like it's trying to be an Ultraman?" Cody questioned.
"That is Darklop Zero. An artificial android, first made to replace Zero, before Belial took up the remains and turned it into his assaulting army." Rem responded.
"So… then it's related to dad, huh? Guess I got some way to vent this frustration out!" He said, charging ahead, but the moment he landed either a punch or claw, he gritted in pain as he pulled back, "S-So tough!"
Darklops Zero then delivered a swift kick… to the groin.
"GEEEHH!" He cried out in a high pitched tone, dropping to his knees, "W-Why… there…?"
It then grabbed him by the neck before delivering a powerful headbutt, afterwhich, it landed several punches to the gut, adding onto the pain Geed felt from the prior attack.
"Guh! REM! Assistance, please!" Cody gritted, as he was actually feeling a sense of agony from the machine's brutal assault.
As this was happening, Jaune soon spotted the fight from his dorm window.
"Crap! Geed's in trouble!" Jaune grimaced.
'So that's the new guy, huh? Why does he look like Belial?"
"Long story, but we gotta go!" Jaune said before stopping himself, "Wait, what am I supposed to do? I'm just a normal guy, I can't fight that thing…"
"I can help."
"Wait, really?! How?" Jaune asked.
He soon felt his body move as it took out a weird mask with yellow shades.
"This is my recreation of my Zero-Eye. Place it against your face and push the trigger, then we can fight." Zero explained.
Shrugging, he soon did just that and pressed the button. In seconds, he too was bathed in a light blue light. As the blonde felt energy swirling around him, the Zero-Eye began to grow and change into a helmet before in seconds, Jaune and Zero, were one, but now available to fight together.
"SCHYAAH!"
Zero cried out as in seconds, the other giant grew in size and light and landed near the two battling giants. He soon stood up slowly as he gazed at them both.
"Ore wa, Zero. Ultraman Zero, da!" He announced before getting into a fighting pose.
"Another… Ultraman…?" Cody gritted from within Geed.
"That is the legendary Ultraman Zero, Ultraseven's son and Ultraman Leo's disciple. He is also Ultraman Belial's nemesis, having fought him many times in the past, and even has his own self-proclaimed disciple, Ultraman Zett" REM told him.
"That's a lot of Ultramen this guy is connected to…" he noted before getting up.
"So, you're the new kid, huh? Just sit back and get some ice while I handle this." Zero said with a smug chuckle, "Now, time to end this at lightspeed!" He shouted, rushing towards the android, who rushed at him with a more intense drive to kill.
Unlike with Geed, Zero was much more experienced as he landed several quick blows to the machine, sending it back before creating an energy projection from his Sluggers and slashing at the machine's chest.
"Tell me, what's Belial got planned up this time?" He questioned the android, except with no response, "Not talking, eh? That's fine. I'll just turn you into scrap!"
He then began to charge up a powerful attack, as the Darklops Zero made an 'L' formation with its arm. Seeing what was about to happen, he too did the same before both fired beams at each other, yet Zero's quickly overpowered the android before it struck it, causing it to break down and erupt into an explosion.
"Che, not even a real Darklops Zero? What the heck is going on here?" Zero sighed, turning to Geed before offering him a hands up. "You okay, Shonen?"
"Uh… y-yeah…" Cody nodded in response, "A bit sore, but I'm okay…"
"Just be glad it wasn't the real deal, otherwise it would've ended much worse. For now, just follow me kid. We need to talk." Zero said before he took off flying.
XXX
Afterwards, Cody was wandering around the campus after seeing Zero land in Beacon, yet what shocked Cody was upon both of them reverting, Jaune was there, yet… was different.
"Jaune?" Cody called out.
"So, you're Ultraman Geed, eh?" Zero-Jaune asked.
"Are you possessing, Jaune?" He questioned.
"It's a long story" the possessed Ultra waved off. "But just needed to learn some things from you, kid."
"Well.. ask away, I guess?" the young Ultra shrugged at the offer.
"To start… are you related to Belial?" Zero-Jaune asked.
Cody remained silent as only a simple nod came from him, worried about how he'll react.
"I see…" He nodded before sighing, "While part of me wants to sock you and bring you in… seeing the memories from your friend here however, they tell a different story. If you're not gonna be like him at all, I have no reason to hold anything against you."
Cody was surprised by this, "Uhh, thank you Zero-san…"
"Of course, shonen." He smiled, "Other than that, I only want to know what's been going on around here. The Kaiju's that came here are different this time around. They're used to living alongside your kind here."
"We don't know… but if my father is the reason for all of this? Then he has something planned for sure…" Cody noted. "For now, I just want to help and keep others safe."
"Got it…" he noted as Team RWBY arrived.
"Before I go, I'll tell you one thing." Zero said, looking to him, "I'm entrusting you to find all the capsules that were stolen and stop them from being misused."
Cody nodded to the senior Ultra, "I'll do my best, Zero."
"Aight…" he said with a smirk before relinquishing control back to Jaune.
"Cody! Jaune!" Ruby called out as the rest of their friends began to approach the two.
"Hey there, Ruby!" Cody greeted with a smile.
"Hm? Jaune? Why are you here here?" Ruby asked, before the two looked at one another, knowing they have some explaining to do.
XXX
As the next day went through, it was another sparring session for the class, as Jaune was facing against his new tormentor upon arriving at Beacon, Cardin Winchester. This young Huntsman, was a short harried, brunette with grey armor on him, with a bird on his chest and a mace in hand. And was once again, beating Jaune who was flung to the ground by his attack, as the teen groaned out in response.
"Alright, that's enough. Cardin wins this match." Glynda announced, "Next time, Mr Arc. Focus on your Aura levels. While you may have just woke them recently, they're not there forever."
'Ouch, you really don't know what you're doing are you?' Zero commented
'G-Give me a break, Zero. I'm… still uh…' Jaune was hoping to change the argument since he was still guilty about his real reason on how he got here.
'Still what?' the blue Ultra asked, 'Are you talking about the-'
'Please don't bring it up! I'm ashamed at myself already for it!' Jaune pleaded.
"Mr. Arc, are you even listening?" Glynda asked him, snapping the other blonde from his conversation with Zero.
"Uh, y-yes! Sorry about that, Professor!" Jaune responded, flinching at her.
"Guess I knocked you around a little too well…" Cardin chuckled.
"I was just um… distracted was all…" Jaune said.
Cody merely shook his head at this. "Poor guy… no matter what, he somehow can't keep up just yet…. Maybe he should need extra training?" Cody whispered to Ruby who was next to him.
"Agreed.. Doesn't help that Cardin chose him as a punching bag…" The scythe user frowned. "We're training to be Huntsmen and Huntresses… No need for such kid stuff here…"
"Sometimes, people just can't change." Yang added.
XXX
Afterwards, the two teams began to eat lunch again as they got used to seeing Zero occasionally take over.
"He stuffed him into a what now?" Zero-Jaune questioned.
"Into his own locker, and launched him almost to the edge of the town. We're lucky he didn't send him into the ocean." Pyrrha sighed out, explaining upon Zero wondering about Cardin's deal with Jaune.
"My gosh, and here I thought Zett had it bad..." he groaned, "Alright rookie, you really need to step up if you're gonna work with me…"
"I'm doing my best, Zero. I just um… I'm just a late bloomer." Jaune said, taking over for a second to respond.
Zero merely rolled his eyebrows before noticing Cardin and his team bullying Velvet.
"Ow! That hurts!"
"See, I told you they were real" he said to them, pulling one of the girl's rabbit ears to demonstrate as it brought the group's attention.
"How distasteful…" Ren frowned, as Blake glared at Cardin with a nod.
"Okay, that's it." Cody said with a growl, standing up from his seat.
"Hold on rookie, I think I got this…" Zero-Jaune noted with a similar venom in his voice, "Besides, I'd like some payback for what he did to Jauney boy anyways…"
'Not you too, Zero!' Jaune whined at the nickname that Cardin gave him.
However Zero-Jaune didn't listen as he walked towards them and grabbed Cardin's arm, squeezing it tightly enough so that the man would let go of Velvet's ear.
"Ho? Come for another locker send off, Jauney boy?" Cardin smirked.
However what the bully got instead was Zero-Jaune effortlessly slamming into the table behind him, snapping it in twi as food landed onto his chest and face. This soon made the cafeteria grow quiet with several gasps as the rest of Cardin's team stood up.
"Hey, what the hell was that?!" he growled.
"Ow sorry. Thought that wouldn't hurt." Zero-Jaune shrugged, "You seamlessly think just assuming something is true until you try it out. So I wanted to see if that empty head of yours would make a better sound than that that jaw."
"Why you!"
Almost immediately the rest of Team CRDL surrounded Zero-Jaune as Cardin got back to his feet.
"You're gonna regret that, Jaune." Cardin growled, as his team soon closed in on the possessed blonde.
However Zero-Jaune merely yawned as he started taking them down one-by-one, the rest of the cafeteria in awe of what they were witnessing.
"So wait, Jaune isn't a wimp?" one student asked.
"He must've hit his head from the last match." Another student noted.
"My money is on Jaune! I like this style change!"
Soon, the student body began to chant Jaune's name as Zero-Jaune took down Team CRDL in a swift manner.
"You're a thousand years too early to deal with me…" he said cockily.
"Y-You're… gonna pay for that one… Jaune…" Cardin gritted.
"Try me…" he said before knocking the bully out with the same move he used on Jaune.
Afterwards, he walked back to the table where Cody and Teams RWBY and JNPR were shocked.
"Mr Arc!" Glynda's voice rang out, as the crowd of students flinched and quickly moved out of the way, as she walked up to him.
Instantly Jaune took control back from Zero as he sheepishly turned towards the angry professor.
"Um.. I-I was… this is just um…" Jaune was trying to find some explanation to tell, yet it resulted in Glynda tugging his ear tightly, making him whine in pain.
"You and Mr Winchester shall be seeing me in my office, as of right now." She ordered.
'This is all your fault, Zero!' Jaune grumbled.
'Hey, I did a favor for you. Plus, I couldn't stand the sight of that girl being bullied. Could you?' Zero pointed out.
Jaune was left silent as he couldn't disagree with the blue Ultra's words, sighing as he accepted his fate. He nodded as Glynda let go to levitate Cardin up as the three made to her office for the punishment.
Meanwhile, Blake went towards Velvet, who was massaging her ears while the fight was going on.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
"Y-Yes… don't worry too much about me…" Velvet said, rubbing her ears gently.
"Then why not eat with us for the time being?" Cody called out, "I know your team isn't here for now, but we'd be glad to eat and chat with ya, Senpai!"
"Senpai…?" Ruby blinked.
"It's a word from the hometown of mom and Aunt Glynda. It basically just means that she's our upper classmate is all."
"Sure you didn't get it from the anime you watch?" Yang teased.
"T-That too!" He flinched in response, earning a chuckle from some of the others.

"Zero… you got in me a whole lot of trouble! Now I have to be in a joint work with Cardin!" Jaune whined out, as he was relaxing on the roof of the student dorms.
'Think of it this way, if he screws up I'll give him another round.'
"That's not the point, Zero!" Jaune sighed. "But… you are right on one thing…. I do need some extra help…."
"Then I'll assist. We can train during your sleep.'
"How does that even work?"
'Trust me, it's more complicated than trying to explain it. Just think of it like those VR games.'
"Okay then…" he muttered as he saw Pyrrha walk towards him. Putting away the Zero Eye, he sighed as he turned to face her.
"Gave Zero an earful, huh?" Pyrrha noted.
"Yeah, pretty much…" he confirmed.
"Heard about you needing possible help? Mind if I lend a hand?" Pyrrha asked.
"Er… I-I appreciate Pyrrha, but I'll be fine." Jaune waved off, only to earn an annoyed frown from the redhead.
"Jaune. We're teammates. If I can't help you out, I can't consider myself part of the team, anymore than you do." Pyrrha scolded.
"It's… It's not like that, Pyrrha. I need to do this alone." Jaune said.
"Ahem!" Zero interjected.
'What now, Zero?'
"Did you forget that we're fused? You're not really doing this on your own, kid…"
'That's not the point I'm trying to get to her!'
"Alright then… in any case, if she is your partner, she deserves to know the truth…"
'But-'
"No buts! If you two are gonna work together, then you should at least have no secrets between ya!"
Jaune remained quiet for a moment as he looked to Pyrrha as he sighed heavily. He soon walked over to the railing as he leaned against it, pondering his thoughts for a moment.
"Pyrrha? I…. I didn't really get into Beacon…" Jaune said to her.
This confused her, "What do you mean?" she fearfully asked.
"I mean… I basically cheated myself into getting into this school. I never even went to other academies… I lied my way to get in here." He told her, telling about his secret.
"Transcripts…" she realized, "You used one, didn't you?"
"I just printed one off of the net and used that… I mean… I didn't know what Aura's were after all, remember?" Jaune pointed out.
Pyrrha recalled how they met Zero, earning a wince from both her and the blue Ultra.
"Then… why did you enter?"
"Because… my family." He responded, "My grandfather and his forefathers were all monster slayers, and I looked up to them. I wanted to be that kind of person, that kind of hero. But by the time I realized I wanted to do it, I couldn't even have the qualifications of entering any academy… So I lied my way to get here. Not even my sisters or parents know about this, as they think I'm in some special regular academy."
"Dang…" Zero muttered, Jaune's speech hitting a little close to home for the blue Ultra.
"Jaune…." Pyrrha said to him.
"So there you have it… If you wish to leave and tell the professors, I won't hold it against you." Jaune sighed, only to soon feel her hand on his shoulder as he turned to her.
"Then you honestly need more help than you think. If you believe I'd just turn in my partner and teammate in for that, then you truly did start off like this." She said with a caring smile.
"Come on kid, you may have not gotten in the normal way, you're still deserving to be here as anyone else" Zero noted.
"You guys…." He got out as he smiled, "Thank you…"
"Then, I suggest we start training right now." Pyrrha offered.
As they did so, a certain bully overheard everything…
"Oh Jauney-boy, you have no idea how much you fucked up…" he cackled.
XXX
"Ugh… s-so tired…" Jaune groaned as he was carrying several texts books while Cardin and his team sat there in the library eating snacks or playing games. "Why am I doing this, when it's both of our punishments?"
"Ohh, Jauney-boy… You really should think about how you address me, for now on." Cardin smirked, "After all… we wouldn't want word out that our dear friend here was nothing but a liar."
He then waved the Zero Eye, something he swiped from Jaune earlier, in front of him.
"Lest we forget your little secret…" he chuckled.
"H-Hey! Give that back!" Jaune said, only to be kicked down by the bully.
"Nope~! Sides, this way, you won't just get your friends to help you." Cardin denied, "So, I'm going to give you a deal, Jauney-boy. You do all these tasks until the semester ends, and I'll keep my lid shut and return this to you. But should you even dare ask their help? Well… Then asides from a nice item in a pawn shop this'll become? I'll have to tell Professor Ozpin about this whole thing too. And since little redhead was in on this as well, she too would be kicked out for assisting in a forged document of academic use."
Jaune was pissed, but that was nothing compared to the rage Zero was within Jaune's head.
'If I even attempt to help as well, he could just see it as Jaune defending himself. Dammit… We screwed up…' Zero gritted in his own thoughts as he remained silent for the time being.
'Yeah…' Jaune grumbled.
Meanwhile with Pyrrha, Jaune seemingly called off their training today as it seemed he was busy with something else. Yet it made her worry that Jaune was still scared of help, or simply couldn't trust her because of her status of being a prodigy.
"Yo! Pyrrha!" Cody called out, as the young Ultra was making his way to her with some paperwork.
"Oh, Cody. It's you…" she said sadly, but confused.
"Hm? Something wrong?" He asked her, worried about the redheaded friend.
"It's well… Jaune…" She noted, "We made a promise to help each other, so he could get better at this. But it seems he denied today's meet up…"
"Hmm… did you ask him why?" He questioned.
"Sadly, he didn't respond to that." She sighed, "Is it because of me being a prodigy?" She asked.
Cody pondered for a moment before he stood next to her, "I don't think so, Pyrrha." Cody responded. "Jaune didn't even know you were one until we brought it up. Even then, I don't think he changed his view of you. He still sees you as the redhead huntress who helped him in the testing trials and chose him to be her partner."
"But… is he really fine with it or just hiding his true feelings?" Pyrrha questioned.
Cody simply turned to her, "Or are you hiding them, Pyrrha?" He questioned her back, "Seems to me, you're more worried about this stature than actually worried about Jaune's opinion. I believe if you just trust in each other, you'll figure these things out together. I mean… isn't that what being a partner is about?"
She soon began to think on Cody's word before they saw Jaune show up, or rather Zero-Jaune stomping off in a pissed off mood. Luckily for them, this time it really was just them, so Pyrrha asked the blue Ultra something.
"Cardin, I take it?" She questioned as he nodded.
"Sorry, but for once, I can't say a thing. Otherwise we'd both be in the depths." Zero-Jaune responded. "Jaune wants to vent so I'm taking over for now."
Now this was new for Cody, "You think something happened between you guys?" he speculated.
"Right on the money, shonen." He nodded, "Sadly, if more trouble comes up, for now I'll have to leave it to you. Let's just say… I have to trust him as well."
"Damn…" he muttered.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I got some Grimm I want to murder in the forest…" the Ultra noted
"Just… be careful with Jaune's body, Zero." Pyrrha requested.
He soon nodded as he left. Moments later, they could the sounds of battle nearby.
XXX
At a forest filled with red trees and grass, Glynda was giving a tour for the whole class. She was giving them a group assignment as many had to take notes, get materials and more from the forest as many had headed out.
Sadly, for Jaune? He was forced with Cardin's team as he was the one doing everything again. Leaving the poor blonde exhausted as he collapsed next to them with several jars of red jam.
"There's the man of the hour!"
"I-I think I'm allergic to these things…" Jaune groaned out, before he leaned up, "So… why am I getting all of these jars? This is enough for two teams…"
"Fast learner! You're correct, Jauney-boy. Cause we're gonna be using them on your friends." Cardin grinned.
"What?" he questioned before Cardin turned his attention towards his targets.
"Both that black haired chick from the shrimp's team, that lousy prodigy redhead and the newbie…. They all make me sick. So… I figured during this trip, I'd give them a taste of some of those Rapier Wasps you wrote about last week."
He then revealed a box full of angry Grimm with the label "Do not Open" to the group.
"So, you are gonna lead them here and then toss all of these jars at them and release the wasps that you collected yesterday for the assignments." Cardin ordered. "And if you don't? I'll tell Glynda about your secret in front of everyone and smash this thing too."
Once more, he placed the Zero Eye over Jaune's head, taunting him with it.
"So, be a good sport and bring them over, will ya?" Cardin grinned.
'Jaune…. If you do this…' Zero announced, yet was more taken back by Jaune when he picked up the jar.
"You want me to throw this… Endanger my friends and those who have been trusting me this whole time…. All because you're disgusted by them and how they stand up against you?" Jaune noted as his hand gripped the jar in anger.
He then tossed it right at Cardin, causing him to drop the Zero Eye and allow the Blue Ultra to take over and grab it, keeping it away from the rest of Cardin's lackeys.
"Hehe, gotta admit, shonen. You have some nerves of steel." Zero complimented Jaune.
'It's not over yet. In fact… think if I can take the lead on this one?" Jaune requested.
"Sure, just wanted to get back what was mine" he said, relinquishing control back to him.
Jaune took notice of Cardin and his team all ready to brawl as they were truly ready for a fight. But so was Jaune as he dodged the mace of Cardin's before punching the teen, sending him back.
"You're really gonna pay for this, Jaune…" Cardin glared, only for a growl to emerge near them as they turned around to see a wandering Ursa Grimm approaching them all.
"That's a bit Ursa!" Cardin cried out as the rest of Team CRDL fled the scene, leaving Jaune and their leader alone with the Grimm.
XXX
Soon, many students heard the cries of a few, as they turned to see three of the members of CRDL run out from the thicker woods.
"Ursa! Kaiju!"
"They're gonna kill Cardin and that blonde idiot!"
"Kaiju?" Cody questioned, "How is there a-"
Before he could finish that sentence, he saw several students running away from a different direction. Up from the depths of the forest, several trees and plant life began to rise up as it formed into a new form. It seemed to be a completely plant-based Kaiju as the red trees, leaves and the orange flora of the area made up it's body with the exception of two glowing white eyes as it roared loudly.
"R-REM?! Info, please!" Cody pleaded.
"It seems that is a natural variant of the Alien Waiell, an alien who feeds on human blood" the AI explained.
"T-Then why is it here?!" Ruby added.
"It seems to sense some form of Forever Fall tree sap, what makes up it's DNA" REM theorized.
"Must either be drawn to the sap, or is angered that we're harvesting it." Blake added.
They soon heard some buzzing as several wasp-like Grimm started to fly out of the Kaiju.
"A-Are those Rapier Wasps, too?!" Yang grimaced.
"That must have been their nest! We need to evacuate the area now!" Glynda noted as she started directing the students away.
"Wait… that's where Jaune was!" Pyrrah gasped as she soon raced off to the direction.
Cody, Ruby, and Weiss soon chased her as they saw Jaune with his sword and shield at the ready against the Ursa.
"Seems like he has this." Cody noted, "You guys help him should he need it, I'mma Ultra-Up and beat that thing."
"Stay safe out there Cody!" Ruby noted.
Cody nodded as he soon went to a secluded place so no prying eyes could be found on him as he held up the Riser.
Cody soon took out the Ultraman Capsule from his Capsule Holder.
"You go!"
[SCWACH!]
Immediately he activated the capsule, causing a brief image of the original Ultraman to appear and raise his hand to the sky and catch a blue light. One he placed the capsule in, he took out the capsule of his father, Ultraman Belial.
"I go!"
[GYYAUGH!]
After clicking the button, an image of Belial appeared and did the same motion Ultraman did while Cody loaded up his capsule.
With both capsules in place, Cody started to scan both of them, a heartbeat emitting from the Riser as he passed it over each part of the Knuckle.
FUSION RISE!
"Kimeruze kakugo!"
As he lifted the Riser into the air briefly, he then placed it to his heart and activated it.
"GEEED!"
ULTRAMAN!
ULTRAMAN BELIAL!
Immediately Cody started to grow to giant size while the two after images entered his body. As he grew in stature, his form changed completely while a red and black bolt wrapped around a blue and light bolt.
ULTRAMAN GEED: PRIMITIVE!
As he arrived as Ultraman Geed, Cody kept his distance as the Rapier Wasps flew around in a protective barrier around the Alien Waiell as he could tell simple swipes wouldn't do much..
"Well then… Leo-san, I need some help!" he stated as he activated the flames of Leo.
ULTRAMAN LEO!
He soon let out several fireballs at the wasp barrier, yet surprisingly, it didn't do much as only a few fell, while other replaced the ones that have fallen, as a few were soon sent out to attack Geed.
"Dang it, there's too many of them…" he stated as he quickly dodged out of the way and burned the wasps attacking him.
Yet he soon felt several stings on his back, causing him to wail in pain, as more Rapier Wasps begin to fly up from several caverns or cracks nearby, likely agitated due to the battle.
"REM, any ideas here?" Cody asked as he tried to swat the wasps away.
"Seems to me, that they have evolved with the Alien Waiell, and earned certain properties. Their shells seem to be much harder to crack or burn away, as they keep it safe. I sadly do not have any advice I can give in this situation, Master."
"Dangit, if only I had some kind of armor…" he grumbled as he had to make due with firing projectiles, both energy-based and fireballs, at the monster.
XXX
Back with Jaune, he was trying his best to block the Ursa's attacks and keep his balance due to the two giants stomping around the forest.
"Jaune's going to be killed if we don't do something!" Weiss said, yet Pyrrha held out her arm to stop them.
"We need to trust in Jaune…. He said he wanted to be the same kind of hero his ancestors were…. So we should believe in him as well." Pyrrha stated.
Jaune soon delivered a few stabs to the Grimm's chest before being thrown back by the beast's swipe. He tried to get up, but he had to use his sword as a crutch to keep himself on his feet.
'Kid, this might be too much for you.' Zero stated to him.
"I know… but… if I simply just leave everything to you, I won't get stronger to protect my team. I need to do this." Jaune gritted.
Just then, he saw the bear ready another big swipe and then quickly the blonde parried it and used the bear's paw as a platform to leap in the air and plunged his sword into the beast's head, killing it as the boy bounced off and landed with a slight wobble, but otherwise okay.
"He did it!" Ruby cheered, as the group rushed to his side, as the teen was exhausted.
"Well done Jaune." Pyrrha complimented.
"Yeah…." Jaune chuckled.
"How was your first Grimm kill?" Ren asked.
"Thrilling… but damn if it wasn't nerve-wracking…" he grumbled before turning to the alien fighting Geed. "I wish I could join, but I think that fight left me drained…" he said.
"You sure?" Zero asked him.
"Y-Yeah… I'm tired as is, and even I can tell if we changed, it would make me more vulnerable."
"Hehe, already picking up on things. Alright, we'll leave it to him."
"For now, let's get out of the way so Cody doesn't have to worry about us." Blake added.
They soon agreed as the others left to avoid the carnage. However as they did, Pyrrha soon made a small wish to Geed.
'Please, make it out okay… I'm also putting my trust into you.'
Just then, she saw the Little Star leave her body and enter Geed's Color Timer.
XXX
"H-Huh?" Cody got out, seeing the Little Star flow into his Capsule Holder, as it completed another one. This one showed that of UltraSeven on it, as he smiled, "Hehe, glad you're trusting me as well, Pyrrha."
Cody soon grabbed the Ultraseven Capsule "You go!"
[HAAU!]
Immediately he activated the capsule, causing a brief image of Ultraseven to appear and raise his hand to the sky and catch a blue light. One he placed the capsule in, he took out the capsule of his disciple, Ultraman Leo.
"I go!"
[IEEYAH!]
After clicking the button, an image of Leo appeared and did the same motion Ultraseven did while Cody loaded up his capsule.
With both capsules in place, Cody started to scan both of them, a heartbeat emitting from the Riser as he passed it over each part of the Knuckle.
FUSION RISE!
"Oyestute yuuki!"
As he lifted the Riser into the air briefly, he then placed it to his heart and activated it.
"GEEED!"
ULTRASEVEN!
ULTRAMAN LEO!
Immediately Cody started to grow to giant size while the two after images entered his body. As he grew in stature, his form changed completely while a spin of a blade, chipping out sparks flew around him before blue flames erupted out only to turn into what appeared to be a metallic surge flying around him as he flew out from the Rise.
ULTRAMAN GEED: SOLID BURNING!
Soon, erupting into flames stood a new form for Geed. This was a fully red armored suit, with steel white accents, as his chest had the silver armor of that of Seven and Leo, with bulky shoulder pads. Even his head changed as it had the Leo flattop, with a new Eye Slugger on top of that, known as the Geed Slugger. This was the new form for Geed, Solid Burning.
"Did he use dad and master's power?" Zero gasped.
'I take it, they're important?' Jaune asked.
"Yeah, they are…"
Cody moved as he held up his arms like a strongman, as steam poured out from several spots in the armor before he marched his way to the Kaiju. It responded by sending in the Rapier Wasps to sting and hurt him, yet even then he marched forward. Each sting, bite and more were either cracked or broke off the moment they hit his armored hide.
"Hehe, it feels like I'm in the shower. Simple droplets touching me now." He said, swinging his arm to smack down the attacking Wasps.
"Go get 'em!" Ruby cheered.
"Uhh, what the hell is going on?!" Cardin, whom the group forgot, asked aloud..
"We're watching this fight play out." Yang noted, "What else would it be?"
"But you're acting as if you know that freak!" Cardin pointed to Geed.
"He is no freak, Cardin." Jaune said, glaring at him, "And if you ever pull this stunt again, you will be facing me. I don't care if you tell Glynda or not. You harm my friends and team again? You won't be walking normally ever again."
Zero chuckled within Jaune's head, 'Quite the speech, Jaune. You even gave me chills from that declaration.' He applauded.
That speech gave Cardin a lot to swallow as they continued to watch Geed fight off the Waiell.
Sure enough, the armor did the trick as the Kaiju's Grimm allies were no match as he soon reached the plant Kaiju. It realized that its normal defense wasn't working as it swung its arm to try and knock back the Ultra, yet he blocked it before he reeled his fist back.
Fire ignited from the forearm of the armor as his punch was now given a stronger boost as he punched part of the mass off of the Kaiju as it stumbled back. He took hold of the Geed Slugger on his head as he soon back to slash and hack off more of the plant life and the Rapier Wasps, as the Kaiju was struggling against this strength of the Ultra's change.
"Alright, time to do some deforestation!" Geed declared as he readied his finisher. In seconds, the wrist of his right arm exposed and formed into what appeared to be a energy enhancements before green energy surrounded by fire began to flow into his hand. The shoulder pads and armor on the forearm folden and change as it began to charge up as he stood there, only to thrust his arm forward.
STRIKE BOOST!
Geed declared as the fiery energy attack raced out of the arm cannon as it blasted and burned away the Grimm before striking the Waiell as it pierced and soon burned the plant Kaiju as it erupted into a fiery explosion once more before the rest of its plant body turned to ash as a result of the fiery attack.
"Enemy defeated." Geed sighed, turning to the others as he turned back before he flew off into the sky, as another day was saved by the new Ultraman.
XXX
Back within the grounds of Beacon, the students were preparing to end the day, along with many others as Jaune walked up to the group who were waiting for him at the fountain. Seems he came back to inform them about his talk with Glynda.
"So…?" Nora got out, worried that they'd have to say goodbye.
"My assignment duty is here by resolved." Jaune smiled as the group sighed yet cheered in result.
"Guess that means you're off the hook now?" ruby questioned.
"Actually… I did tell Professor Glynda and Ozpin the truth as well." He informed, surprising the group. "Cause, you were right. Hiding it and being afraid about what could happen didn't help me. And as a result of that, along with the blackmail from Cardin, they gave me pardon and allowed me to continue onward."
"I'm glad Professor Ozpin understood and allowed you to continue." Cody smiled.
"And Cardin?" Blake asked.
"He will be given detention for the rest of the Semester along with a redo of all of the assignments we were meant to complete." Jaune responded.
"Serves that jerk, right!" Nora nodded.
"Actually, I still offered to help." Jaune admitted, as the group looked to him surprised. "If he wants to get better too, I should at least give him a chance. He even told me that next time we meet up? He'll give me some tips on how to use my weapon more effectively."
Now this was a bigger surprise to the group of friends.
"Seems that other than your declaration to stick by your friends and team, you made an impact enough to get him to rethink about how he is." Pyrrha smiled, "Now that sounds like a leader to me."
"Yeah…. And um… I'm sorry as well for the troubles I've brought up to you all." Jaune apologized.
"It's fine Jaune. We understand now." Ruby smiled. "This is the place to learn what it means to be a hero, right? Mistakes are bound to happen."
'Couldn't agree more with shortstack here.' Zero chuckled.
"And… Pyrrha?" Jaune called out, earning her attention, "I truly hope we can still have those lessons as well?"
Pyrrha smiled as she nodded, "Of course Jaune. That's what friends are for, no?" She said, as the group made their way to town for a nice evening before they had to settle in. At least for this month, it has been something exciting and new for everyone.
A/N: Heya minna! striberx once again. So yeah, Zero is here, Solid Burning is done and another chap finished. Let's get the things many may talk about or complain on.
First up is Jaune as the host for Zero. Personally, I know many of you are gonna complain why him, why not Reito, or an oc since I've stated on how I feel using canon characters to become the Toku Hero choice? Well, this is the start that I would like to see how I can be with them. Plus, with how Jaune is, having Zero being the host, he is somewhat similar to Reito, that I figured this would be a good chance to try and see how I can write with him. Plus, truly, all this does is give Jaune more screentime due to the bond with Zero, and extra training too.
Will he get certain perks later on? Oh yes, I have plans for that. But cannot say atm. And no, since Jaune is bonded with Zero, he won't become a Little Star host either. Will most of the cast have them? Yes, and still figuring out the rest of the hosts as I've said in the last chap. But most of them have been chosen along with the extra hosts who gives Geed the Brother Ultra capsules later too.
Plus once again, another tribute part for this chap. Those who know their Ultra lore and such, will spot it easily. And more will still come as well. Hopefully, we have enough material to work with to get things rolling out more.
Until then, later minna!
