Episode 3: The Dark Pattern

Dark Dimension

(Cinder is sitting near the third window of the meeting room)

Cinder: My queen, can I make a proposal to you?

Queen: You may speak…

Cinder: If I cannot kill Ryusia, can I slow her down by transforming into a Rider myself?

Queen: You wish to test her abilities?

Cinder: not exactly, but close enough….

Queen: Alright, but first, we need what she has…

Cinder: I think I know where to find one…

Rider club garage

Ruby: WOW!!!! This… for me?!?! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!!

(Ruby squeezes her sister hard)

Yang: You're welcome, but could you not try to squeeze me like toothpaste?!

Ruby:(lets go) right… sorry about that…

(Ruby and Yang walk into the main room)

Weiss: Now, let's get down to business… What we know is that whoever is distributing those black fangs is obviously targeting students who have a grudge against someone… But why go for those people?

Blake: Whoever is distributing those fangs, really doesn't want us to know….

Yang: What gave you that clue?

Weiss: Not now Yang…

Ruby: well, while you try to figure this out here, Imma go get some cookies from the lunchroom…

Yang: Bring me some too…

Ruby: no promises…

Beacon High lunchroom

(Ruby enters the room to see a young boy crying)

Ruby: Hey… you alright, Genji?

Genji: Just leave me alone…

Ruby: I just want to….

Genji: I SAID JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

(The boy pulls out a black fang)

Ruby:.. Where did you get that?...

Genji: What does it matter… you're just here to hurt me!!!!

Ruby: What?

(The boy presses the button on the fang)

Shirokuma!!!

Ruby: NO, WAIT DON'T!!!!

(Genji stabs the fang into his chest)

Darkness Up!

(Genji transforms into a humanoid black polar bear monster)

Ruby: Crap…

(Ruby equips the Aura Driver)

AURA DRIVER!

(Ruby inserts the crystal into the Driver)

(A guitar riff loops from the Driver, Ruby forms her transformation pose)

Ruby: Henshin!

(Ruby transforms into Ryusia)

(Monster Genji attacks Ryusia)

Beacon high roof

(Ruby defends herself from Monster Genji)

Genji: GO AWAY, GO AWAY, GO AWAY!!!!

(Genji hits Ruby four feet away from him)

Ruby:( to herself) I have to stop him before he becomes too unstable…

(Ruby inserts the blue crystal)

STYLE CHANGE, ICE!

FREEZING LILAC!

(Ryusia's armor changes to blue and white)

(Ruby hits and damages monster Genji)

Genji: JUST LEAVE ME!!!!

(Genji freezes the air around him to form cold vapors)

Ruby: HEY, WAIT?!?!

(Ruby runs into the vapors, Genji is gone)

Ruby: Damn…

(Ruby pulls out the crystal and hits the button on the driver)

Deformation…

(Ruby deforms)

(Weiss, Blake, and Yang rush from the door)

Yang: What happened?!

Ruby: It's Genji this time… but he didn't have a grudge against anyone…

Weiss: What?

Blake: Why would that person give a fang to Genji?... He doesn't have any quarll against anyone… he's usually depressed…

(Ruby's eyes widened)

Ruby: Say that part again…

Blake:… He's usually depressed?

Ruby: …. Of course!!!

Weiss: What, What is it?!

Ruby: Anger and depression are negative emotions… Whoever's giving away those black fangs aren't going for the kids with grudges… they're going for the kids with negative emotions!

Yang: .. Velvet was angry at Cardin for bullying her… Ryu was jealous about Blake and Weiss's intelligence… and Genji was depressed… It makes sense…

Blake: Great, we found out a Pattern of what every victim had in common, we just need to find who's giving out the fangs…

Yang: Right, but first, Where's my cookie Ruby?

Ruby, Weiss, and Blake: NOT THE TIME YANG!!!!!

Yang:(whisper) Geez, bite my head off why don't ya…

Rider club main room

(The four walk towards Weiss's desk)

Weiss: Ruby, find Genji and get him back here…(reaches into the desk)

Ruby: Right, on it!

(Ruby rushes into the garage, and hops into her bike)

AURA BIKE SYSTEM, ENGAGE!

(Ruby rushes out of the garage on her bike)

Weiss: Huh?... What the?…. IT'S GONE!!!

Yang and Blake: WHAT?!?!?!

Kyoto tower

Genji: (Grunting in pain)(Deforms) Why…. Why is this happening?

(Ruby Rides up near Genji)

(Genji backs up against the tower wall)

Genji: Just stay away from me!

Ruby: I won't, and neither will that person who gave you that fang, look, she's using your depression to force yourself to hurt others…

Genji: How did you know?! How do I know you're telling the truth?!

Ruby: Because I'm trying to save you from this!...

(Genji's eyes widen)

Ruby: People who have used those fangs didn't find happiness in revenge… I don't want you to throw away your spark of joy because someone said everyone is after you… I want you to let that spark free, and let it shine over your dark depression…

(Genji's grip on the fang loosens, the fang eventually falls and breaks)

Genji: I didn't mean to hurt people… I was just defending myself…

???: Well, looks like someone has become a disappointment to me…

(The two turn around to see a young woman in a masquerade mask and a black cat suit)

Ruby: Let me guess, you're the one distributing the fangs all over beacon?

???: Perhaps, why should I give you any spoilers about my q… aha hahahahaha… I see what you did there… sorry, but no spoilers… well perhaps maybe this one…. I stole this from your friend's desk… and with it, I have all the same powers you do…

(The woman equips the Driver)

Ruby: It can't be...

(The Driver morphs into a black buckle with a weird bat wing looking emblem)

DARK AURA DRIVER!

(The woman inserts a dark red crystal into her driver)

(A dark guitar riff loops from the Driver)

???: Well, c'mon then… wouldn't want to disappoint me now would you?

(The woman raises her arms around her face, looking like she's going to grab it)

???: Henshin…

(The woman presses the button on the Driver)

DARKNESS ENERGIZE!!

Hakai no yami no chikara… Darkness Ember…

(The woman gets covered in a dark light, it fades to show a Kamen Rider)

Genji: Who the hell are you?!

Ember: I am Kamen Rider Ember… Fear my destructive flames…

Ruby: no choice…

AURA DRIVER

(Ruby inserts the crystal)

(The guitar riff loops from the Driver)

(Ruby engages her transformation pose)

Ruby: Henshin!!

(Ruby hits the button)
