Trailer A
For My Lady… I shall Dance to her song.
For her… I shall spring forward to protect her.
For her… I shall forfeit my life for.
(Bad Apple – Lizz (Music Box))
/Instrumental/
On a massive concert stage, a girl with short white hair stood with her back turned away. She appeared to be looking at something in the back of the stage. Then the stage lights suddenly turned on, and on the illuminated stage wall was a portrait of a girl in a white dress. She had icy-blue eyes and white hair except she had tied it in a side ponytail on the right side of her head. The girl had a small smile that looked regal and somewhat melancholic.
Upon closer inspection of the standing girl she had similar blue eyes and other facial features. But her outfit and body was completely different from the portrait's. She wore a sleeveless zip-up vest with colors similar to a traffic officer vest. Underneath the vest, she wore a white bulletproof flak jacket which was also sleeveless. Her arms had mechanical features with two differently shaped shoulder plates. Her left arm was entirely mechanical which had steel-ball joints with a spherical-shaped shoulder plate. Her right arm was mechanical up to the ball joint elbow and a rectangular plate was attached to her shoulder. She wore a pair of long pants with knee-padded armor plating and a pair of smooth plated boots. Attached to her right hip, there was a strap with three containers that held three different miniature cars. On her lower back, there was what appeared to be a door-shaped gun in a holster. The door had a symbol of a gear with a spear and outer barrier.
/Ever on and on I continue circling/
Upon the first lyrics, the girl began to balance her right foot and danced in a slow tempo.
/With nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony/
Like a ballerina, she spun and jumped with a leg split before landing on the stage floor.
/Till slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing/
Straightening her legs, the white-haired girl tiptoed at a short distance before jumping once more and landing on the ground with her legs crisscrossed.
/And suddenly I see that I can't break free-I'm/
She crouched down as the stage lights dimmed to a low glow.
/Slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity/
The scenery slowly changed as the world appeared to turn and spin until the girl was in archaic-styled room which was massive and had windows located in the upper walls. Behind the girl, several mechanical soldiers deployed from a trapdoor in the ground and slowly approached her. The white haired girl took a glance behind her and noticed the several mechanical soldiers with red visors. She gave a cold look as she turned herself around to look at the numbers she had to fight.
/With nothing but my pain and the paralyzing agony/
In response to her action, the robots armed themselves by transforming their forearms in either blades or gatling guns. Reaching to the gun holstered on her back, the girl jumped away at the moment one of the robots tried to slash at her. While in midair, she fired several shots at the attacking robot and some of its fellows.
/To tell me who I am, who I was/
Landing on the ground, the girl rolled backwards into a crouching stance. She fired quickly at the robots, making each shot count. The high-speed bullets managed to hit either the body or the head, tearing the robots apart within seconds.
/Uncertainty enveloping my mind/
Then a click was heard, the girl realized her weapon was out of bullets. The robots quickly retaliated by firing their guns.
/Till I can't break free, and/
Jumping and flipping through the air, the girl opened the door on the left side of her gun. The action caused heat to expel and a steel cartridge with a dead-black LED line ejected from the opening.
/Maybe it's a dream; maybe nothing else is real/
Taking a cartridge out from her left hip, the girl reloaded her gun and closed the door.
"CHARGED!" announced the reloaded weapon with a monotone female voice.
After landing, she began to strafe shoot as the robots that continued to fire at her.
/But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel/
Deciding to end the battle quickly, the girl took a green miniature car with purple tints from her right hip and placed it into a slot located in the top of the gun.
"ATTACK PROTOCOL: FUNKY SPIKE!" announced the gun in a female voice. The weapon charged a green energy at the nozzle.
/So I'm tired of all the pain, of the misery inside/
Firing several shots, several massive spikes formed from the bullets and perforated the robots from one row into several more behind.
/And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night/
Relaxing to take a breath, the girl thought her fight was won. But a rumble in the ground told her otherwise. From the earth, a massive metal snake rose the hole it broke through. It hissed upon seeing the girl and prepared to lunge.
/You can tell me what to say; you can tell me where to go/
Jumping in time, she dodged the massive mechanical snake's bite and landed at a distance. She aimed her gun and started to fire once more.
/But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know/
The bullets failed to scratch the mechanical snake and it hissed in anger. Then it swung its tail towards the white-haired girl.
/If I make another move there'll be no more turning back/
Failing to dodge this time, the attack collided into the girl's stomach, and she flew into a wall. She collided into it, resulting in a crater in the structure.
/Because everything will change, and it all will fade to black/
She fell and lied face-first on the ground as the monster slowly closed in on her.
/Will tomorrow ever come? Will I make it through the night?/
Memories flowed in the girl's mind as she laid on the ground. Several people's backs were seen while she sat up on the ground and hugged her legs. The girl remembered the voices of the people before her as they walked away.
/Will there ever be a place for the broken in the light?/
"Goodbye Arianrhod, may we meet again." A man said as he disappeared.
/Am I hurting? Am I sad? Should I stay, or should I go?/
"Take care of yourself, Ariann. I expect you to be walking when I see you next time." A young lady stated as she disappeared.
/I've forgotten how to tell. Did I ever even know?/
"Ariann, you'll always be my best friend! So be sure to keep your promise!" shouted a girl as she turned around with an innocent smile. Then she disappeared in a similar fashion.
/Can I take another step? I've done everything I can/
"Stand up, Arianrhod. It's time…" said a man's voice as a hand was offered to her. The white-haired girl looked up to the hand, then she looked to see the man's smiling face. The type of smiling face that had a kind and caring aura.
/All the people that I see I will never understand/
"That's right, everyone's waiting…" muttered the girl as she opened her eyes.
/If I find a way to change, if I step into the light/
Returning to reality, the girl slowly got up despite her injuries while holding a silver bulky buckle with a red strap in her right hand. Making a determined look, she wrapped the belt device onto her waist and turned the key-like switch on it, activating its function. She took a silver miniature sport car from her strap, and twisted the back of the car with her thumb. Then she brought up her left arm in front of her chest, and she placed the changed miniature car in the brace attached to her left wrist.
Taking a breath to calm her mind, the girl gripped the car with determination. "Drive Protocol… Engage!" shouted the girl as she lifted the car in the brace and placed it back down.
/Then I'll never be the same, and it all will fade to white/
"DRIVE: TYPE SPEED!" announced the belt with a revving sound as she lowered her arms, and a cylinder of energy formed around her. Several armor plates attached to her body as light flowed and covered her body.

/Instrumental/
The light dimmed to reveal an armored soldier with a car motif. She wore a suit of black durable fibers underneath the metal plating. Her head was covered in a masked helmet with a pair of white LED lens that lit up with a blue circuit in the middle of her helm. The silver breastplate she wore had an odd diagonal indent that crossed from her left collarbone to her lower right rib. Suddenly, a car tire flew in her direction and collided with the soldier's body. Instead of being thrown back by the force of the collision, the tire attached itself onto the armored soldier's body. A logo was shown on the tire which the title was TYPE DRIVE.
/Ever on and on I continue circling/
The Snake hissed upon sighting the armored soldier's new form and slithered at an incredible speed to kill the girl. In response, the soldier ran forward with her gun at her side.
/With nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony/
Then time slowly grounded to a halt with the massive snake frozen and the car-motif soldier still moving. She jumped forward and over the mechanical snake.
/Till slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing/
Suddenly time returned to normal, the snake slammed into the wall in front of it while the soldier landed.
/And suddenly I see that I can't break free-I'm/
Taking the chance, the soldier opened fire on the snake with her gun. The shots pierced in between the gaps of the mechanical monster's armor.
/Slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity/
The snake recoiled from the shots it took and hissed in anger at its prey.
/With nothing but my pain and the paralyzing agony/
The metal monster slithered forward and charged at the soldier once more.
/To tell me who I am, who I was/
Unflinching, the armored soldier twisted the key lever on her buckle. The she took an orange car from the brace hanging from her side and twisted it into a lever similar to the silver car.
/Uncertainty enveloping my mind/
She replaced the silver car with the orange car and lifted the car. The action caused the black tire attached to her to launch at the charging snake and send it off course.
/Till I can't break free, and/
"EXCHANGE PROTOCOL: MAX FLARE." Announced the buckle as a new tire smashed through a window and flew into the soldier.
/Maybe it's a dream; maybe nothing else is real/
The tire attached itself into soldier and a burst of flames covered her body for a moment.
/But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel/
The snake lifted it head with anger raging in its mind. The monster hissed only to receive a punch to the side of its mouth from the soldier.
/So I'm tired of all the pain, of the misery inside/
The soldier made wide swings to maximize the damage with her fists which were on fire. Then she flipped her right legs upwards to make a flaming kick to the snake's metal jaw.
/And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night/
Landing into a crouch from her last attack, the soldier watched as the snake groaned from the damage it took. The damage was evident on it mechanical head which was covered in dents and scorch marks.
/You can tell me what to say; you can tell me where to go/
But the battle was hardly over as the monster shook its head and roared with a mechanical scream. Then it started to fire energy blasts from its mouth.
/But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know/
Suddenly time slowed to stop and the soldier ran forward and side stepped the shots to gain an advantage.
/If I make another move there'll be no more turning back/
Replacing the orange car with the silver car, the soldier shifted the car to activate the exchange.
"EXCHANGE PROTOCOL: TYPE SPEED." The belt announced during the exchange.
The TYPE SPEED tire replaced the MAX FLARE tire, and the soldier kicked the discarded tire into the snake. The tire suddenly stopped in midair in front of the snake's head.
Suddenly time returned to normal speed, the flaming MAX FLARE tire smashed into the snake's face, causing it to scream in pain.
/Because everything will change, and it all will fade to black/
The soldier pressed a button on the brace before lifting the car lever to activate another function.
/If I make another move, if I take another step/
"ATTACK PROTOCOL: SPEED!" announced the belt.
/Then it all would fall apart. There'd be nothing of me left/
Smashing through one of the walls, a silver sports car skidded to a stop near the soldier.
/If I'm crying in the wind, if I'm crying in the night/
Craning her head to the car, the soldier gave a silent signal and the sports car drove forward to drive around the massive snake.
/Will there ever be a way? Will my heart return to white?/
Accelerating at an incredible speed, the car started to tilt on its two side wheels trapping the soldier and mechanical snake.
/Can you tell me who you are? Can you tell me where I am?/
The snake looked confused at the car's action, breaking its focus on the soldier. The silver armored soldier took advantage of the opening and sprinted forward. She then jumped and flew with a flying dropkick into the snake's head.
/I've forgotten how to see; I've forgotten if I can/
The mechanical snake reeled from the impact and the soldier flew into the air before placing her feet and on the makeshift platform of the speeding car. At that instance, she jumped forward and kicked into the mechanical beast. Repeating the process again and again, the soldier barraged the snake with a barrage of kicks that damaged the mechanical body of the massive snake.
/If I opened up my eyes there'd be no more going back/
The soldier made one final kick and smashed a hole through the massive mechanical snake. The monster screeched one final time until its voice slowly turned into a low mechanical noise.
/'Cause I'd throw it all away, and it all would fade to black/
Skidding to a stop, the heavily damaged monster exploded into a ball of fire. Scrap metal flew and landed behind the armored girl as she crouched with her armor disassembling and dissipating into light.
"DRIVE PROTOCOL: OVER!" announced the belt.
The world around her slowly twisted and turned until it returned to the stage with the portrait of the regal girl behind her. The white-haired girl stood up and craned her head to the right in order to glance at the portrait. Making a small smile, the snow haired girl looked forward and walked to an exit in front of her.
"Soon… I will meet you again… Lady Weiss." The girl muttered at she stepped through the doorway and into the light of day.
The portraits with the four letters, R, G, L, A transitioned in. The final portrait with A slowly lit up to reveal the white haired girl with her arms crossed, in her right hand was her gun and in her left hand was the bulky belt. She had her eyes closed with a peaceful smile on her lips. Behind her was the Silver Soldier.
Author's Note: I would asked of you to review and comment on what I can improve or add. If you find how I changed up the Kamen Rider Drive attack shouts despicable, I apologize for my actions. But I decided to change up the roll call and names to create variation. The term Henshin is translated as transform. While in a different language it is interesting, it would be kind of awkward to keep hearing the word transform every time. I changed the transformation call to "Drive protocol… Engage," because it sounds a bit more professional and something Atlas would prefer. If you have an idea that could fit into this story, just PM me.

How these four will affect the original plot of RWBY will be your guesses and my impressions on the situation at hand. But if there is one thing I need to keep in mind, the battles involving team RGLA will be kept as separately as possible from team RWBY! Amateur cover ups and ridiculous hi-jinks to keep our lovable team busy from the battles behind the scenes! But will it be enough? Check in as the First Chapter of this story Begins!
