AN: Hi! Just wanted to clarify. When I said idealised version of me, I mean as in, more healthy, and not just lazy and useless. Effectively a normal human being. Any overpowered king moments will be punished if not done for a suitable reason. With ball kicks. Just wanted to get that straight.
"So… What exactly does that belt of yours do? You seem to have it figured out." Yang asked me as we entered the house. It been a few days since I'd obtained Shadow form, but it seemed… Wrong… Incomplete… And I didn't get how I'd obtained it… Was I locked out of a hypothetical Ruby form since I'd missed her trailer?
"I… I'm still not sure exactly, once I figure it all out, I'll let you know." I promised her, as she nodded.
"Alright. Hey, I'm gonna go and do something tonight. You wanna come with?" She offered, leaning on Bumblebee.
"Sure." I agreed, having a suspicion that I would be getting a new form out of this…
"Alright!" Yang grinned, walking away. I stood in the garage for a while, thinking to myself for a while…
Without really thinking, I glared at Bumblebee. "I need a bike…" I grumbled, not noticing my left hand grip the latch on the side of the driver… Until…
"RIDER MACHINE!" The Driver announced, as a beam of light came from the screen, scanning the Bike… And then, the latch popped open, revealing…
"No way… This is…" I muttered to myself, before I grinned. "Well, at least I've got a ride now! Better go test it out!" I decided, running outside and heading down towards the Forest, while I ran I pressed the White then Black buttons. "HENSHIN!"
"Soul form! Tamashī no chikara! Ōra no pawā!" The Driver announced, as I entered Soul Form. I looked down at the object in my fist for a moment, before I threw it up into the air as hard as I could…
"MACHINE AURA!" I called out, watching as the object began to transform…
"Machine Semblance!" The Object called out to my shock, transforming into a sleek bike… I don't know much about bikes, but if I was to hazard a guess, I'd say…. BMW K1600 GTL. It. Looked. AWESOME!
"Oh you are beautiful aren't you…" I muttered, running my suited hand over the seat in awe… "A work of art…" I grinned, and got on, before I rode off, intent on breaking in my new ride a little. "Oh this is perfect!"
Atlas…
I frowned as I observed the fight scene again… Something seemed… Off… Other than the bits that the cameras couldn't pick up, it all seemed normal… But it was all off to me…
"I just… Let me think…" I muttered, trying to figure it out… "They weren't fighting seriously…" I realised, my thoughts racing… "This was almost like a game to them!" I exclaimed, writing this down frantically. "Why would it be a game to them? They were fighting on different sides…" I muttered, not understanding… "It's almost like… They know something…" I looked up, grabbing my driver and slapping it against my waist, spinning the barrel until it landed on the Light Blue slot. "Henshin." I said to myself as I activated the transformation…
"Ice… Freeze…" The Driver announced softly as I entered Ice mode, my personal favourite form and the one I used most…
"Private Simmons. Inform General Ironwood I'm going to investigate those two Riders. I have a hunch." I ordered, walking past a soldier with Maroon armour. "Also, why aren't you wearing the standard white?" I questioned.
"Yes Ma'am! And it's because these are new experimental suits! They're designed to be much better than the standard ones!" Simmons explained, before he ran off to inform the General.
I held my left wrist in front of me, and pressed a button on my wrist. "Summon Dust Rising." I ordered, my suit beeping and summoning my bike. Getting on it, I activated the weapon systems, setting them to Ice mode… And then, I rode…
Few hours later. Patch. Back with Alfie.
I met Yang later, at the time we had agreed. My new ride was parked next to Bumblebee.
"Whoa! What's with the new ride?" Yang asked curiously.
"Just another thing my belt can do." I explained with a grin. I had changed back earlier, wanting to keep the driver secret from everyone for as long as I could. Also I wanted to surprise Yang, cause if this was what I thought it was, then I definitely wanted to shock her.
"Alright then, come on, let's go." Yang told me, getting on Bumblebee and riding off. I hopped onto the Machine Semblance and followed after her…
Ten minutes later, Vale.
"That… Didn't take long…" I muttered, as we rode off of the boat that had carried us over to Vale.
"The islands are right next to each other, so it doesn't take too long." Yang explained to me.
"Alright then, so why did you bring me here exactly?" I questioned.
"I'm trying to find someone, and I figured you might want to come along! You know how to fight at least right?" She checked.
"Yep, I can fight." I confirmed, smirking under the helmet that my bike had created for me… This was Yellow! That meant that after this, there would only be the Schnee concert… Of course, Weiss already had the scar, so that meant that White had already happened, at least when it came to the combat scenes…
"Alright then! Come on, it's this way." She told me, heading towards a club.
"A club? Aren't I a little young for that?" I questioned as we got off of our bikes.
"Don't worry, you look old enough and we're not gonna stay for long." She assured me, as we walked right on in to the club…
The Club is actually the name. Some idiot decided to name a club THE CLUB. As in, T-H-E C-L-U-B. I just… Ugh…
We entered the club, with Yang heading straight for a guy. Guess that's Junior then…
"Strawberry sunrise, no ice. Oh, and one of those little umbrellas." Yang ordered at the bar, standing next to Junior.
I groaned, and stood nearby, letting Yang do this herself…
"Aren't you a little young to be in this club blondie?" Junior asked Yang.
Yang giggled, which just creeped me out knowing her personality. And also my awareness of what was going to happen ahead of time… "Aren't you a little old to have a name like Junior?" She pointed out, making me prepare to flinch and wince in sympathy…
"So you know who I am. You got a name sweetheart?" Junior asked her. Oh geez, he's a grown man and she's seventeen… That is just… No…
"Heh. Yes, Junior, I've got several." Yang told him… "But instead of sweetheart, you could just call me sir!" She told him, before her right hand grabbed his ah… Essentials, and squeezed them tightly.
Junior let out a… Sound, of pain. Let's call it that. Wow that went high at the end…
"People say you know everything. Tell me where I can find her, and I'll let you go." She told him, opening her scroll, a phone thingy that is total bull by the way because it's super weird, and showing him a picture of a woman… I couldn't see it that well from this angle though…
"I've never seen her before. I swear!" Junior told her, voice pained.
"Excuse me?!" Yang demanded, squeezing harder.
"I swear, sir!" Junior said, voice even higher…
I winced, feeling his pain, buuuuuuuut not at all sorry for him!
I went closer to Yang as Junior's men approached. "Hey Yang, you've got an audience." I told her, getting her attention.
"This must be kinda embarrassing for you, huh?" Yang pointed out with a smirk. "Awkward…"
"Listen, Blondie, Sir! If you wanna make it out of this club alive, I suggest you let me go. Now!" Yang let go of him, and Junior's voice deepened back to its original settings. "You'll pay for that…" He grumbled,
Yang said something but I wasn't really paying attention, instead, my focus was drawn to one of the tables… Adam and John were there, talking about something… John looked up, and locked eyes with me. He said something to Adam and got up, walking over to me.
"John…" I muttered to myself.
"Hey, you want a drink?" He offered, sounding genuinely friendly.
"I'll pass, but thanks." I thanked, deciding to be friendly, after all, we both knew he'd turn good eventually.
"Alright then." He grinned at me, as we turned, seeing Yang punch Junior in the gut, sending him flying…
"Kiss? Kiss." We both agreed, knowing exactly what had just happened.
People were running in fear, as Yang activated her weapons, turning them from bracelets into Gauntlets. With shotguns.
I ran over to her, grinning. "Apparently it's true! You can't be trusted to go places alone!" I joked to her.
I noticed Adam get up, and say something to John. John sighed, and pulled out his driver… And then, he transformed. Of course, with all the music and screaming, I couldn't hear what it said… I could still make guesses though!
I figured he had to fight me because of Adam, and the way he went towards me confirmed it. I looked down at the driver, seeing it flash yellow… I pressed the white button five times, and then pressed the black button. "KAEN HENSHIN!" I called out.
"Kaen form." The driver announced as I transformed… "Kite Moyasu! Kaen Form!"
My suit was now yellow, with the armoured parts being a golden colour. My visor was orange, with flame like images on the lower half… "Come at me!" I shouted, before I realised I'd forgotten to say my catchphrase… "No… I forgot it…" I whined, upset.
"EMBER CELICA" My suit announced, the gauntlets appearing on my… Feet… That's not where they go but okay…
Yang gaped at me for a moment, before fighting Junior's men.
I turned to John, or, Fang. "Are you ready?" He asked me, ready to fight.
"Build up." I responded, and kicked my foot into the ground, sending me flying upwards.
"… Neat trick…" He muttered, watching my fly up.
I grinned as I flew around The Club, and then shot straight towards him, kicking him in the gut.
He shot back, and got up quickly. "Oh jeez that hurt…" He growled. Without warning, he pulled out a coin, and held it in front of him. "I didn't want to do this. So this is on your head!" He warned me, removing the normal coin, and inserting the new one…
"URSA!" His Driver announced.
"Savage Henshin." He said, closing the mouth of the driver.
"PANCHI! PANCHI! PANCHI! NOKKUAUTO! Kuma…" His driver growled out, as his form shifted… The scarf was gone, and his suit was more armoured, much bulkier as well.
"I got a catchphrase for you to use!" I offered with a grin. "My Strength will make you cry!" I said, laughing a little.
"That's… Actually a good idea… Alright then. My Strength… Shall make you cry!" He shouted, pointing at me. And then he charged at me.
"FIST MODE!" The Aura driver announced, as the gauntlets went to my arms.
I grinned, and we began to fight, fists flying with explosions happening constantly…
"LEG MODE!" The Driver announced again, as I hit the Black button, and then shot into the sky.
Fang groaned, as he quickly opened and closed his Driver's mouth repeatedly.
"RIDER KICK!" The Aura Driver announced, as I flew towards Fang, leg outstretched in a kick.
"RIDER PUNCH!" Fang's Driver announced, as he prepared to punch me out of the sky…
And then, we collided, my leg, vs his fist… The Gauntlet was firing at him, somehow not sending me back at all…
His fist was glowing a crimson red… Neither of us were winning or losing… We couldn't move either…
"Well… This is a problem…" I muttered.
"Yep…" Fang agreed…
"FREEZE! NOW!" We both heard, and our heads turned, seeing another Rider… Before we could react somehow, we were pelted with ice shards, sending us both flying, ending our finishers… And ending our transformations…
"Kamen Riders Grimm and Mimic. You're under arrest by law of the Military of Atlas." The rider announced… It was a she!
"Wait. Grimm and Mimic…?" John muttered confused. "It's Fang. Kamen Rider Fang." He corrected, holding a coin in his hand… It was the one he used normally… For now, I'll call it the Beo Coin.
"And I'm Kamen Rider Soul! How did you get Mimic from that? Grimm I can get, since he's Grimm themed…" I questioned.
"Your forms seem to mimic that of others." She explained shortly, holding two sets of handcuffs.
"Okay, but it's the Aura Driver. As in, Aura. Soul. I don't understand it at all but I'm guessing it bases premade forms on people, using them to finish it somewhat…" I said, giving my best guess. "Now, I'm not getting arreste-" I tried to say, before Noticing that Yang had left. She'd either left, forgetting I was there, or she'd been arrested… "Great…" I grumbled, putting my hands in the air, letting the Rider handcuff me. "You got a name?" I questioned.
"… Kamen Rider Schnee… No, I'm not related to them." She said, not answering in long sentences…
"Like Genm." John muttered under his breath, grinning about something… And then, he was gone… Wait no. He's on the other side of the room. "Sorry, but I've got plans! See you another day!" He called out, before he vanished again… I guess he'd ran…
"… Are you going to attempt to flee as well?" Schnee asked me seriously.
"Nope. Can I just get my bike first? It's got a storage mode and I don't want anyone stealing it and trying to sell it." I asked, not planning on resisting arrest at all.
"… Very well…" She agreed hesitantly.
"You can cuff yourself to me if you don't trust me." I offered, as I went towards the Machine Semblance slowly, as too not startle Schnee.
She cuffed herself to me. Smart! I pressed a button, and the brilliant bike turned into a small Necklace, which I put inside of the Driver.
"We can go now." I told her, as a Bullhead arrived, getting on it with her and sitting patiently next to her… "So… What's your driver do?" I asked her, trying to make conversation. She said nothing.
"Hey, kid. It's no use talking to her, she's a professional." A soldier in an orange coloured armour told me.
"Thanks. What's your name then?" I asked curiously.
"Private Grif." The solider told me. Wait. Like Grif from RvB? I'll have to investigate later…
Later
Eventually, we reached Atlas, and I had broken out of my side of the cuff because it was starting to choke my wrist. Schnee promptly cuffed my other arm when I offered it to her.
"Kamen Rider Schnee reporting to General Ironwood." She told someone, and entered a room. It was a standard interrogation room.
"Are the mirrors actually windows like in those movies?" I asked curiously, and was surprised to get a snort from her.
"Actually yes. They are." She admitted with a small chuckle. "General Ironwood will be here shortly. Can I trust you to not attempt to escape if I remove your handcuffs?" She asked me.
"Yep! I'll just sit here and wait! … Unless it takes him half an hour. Then I demand someone's Scroll to play angry birds." I said honestly.
"If it takes half an hour I'll get you a scroll to play on. It shouldn't take that long though." She told me, before she removed my cuffs, and left the room.
Few minutes later
A man with short cut hair, and a very impressive stature, walked in.
"Kamen Rider Mimic. I'm General Ironwood." He introduced himself, sitting down at the table and looking at me.
"It's Soul, actually." I corrected sheepishly. The Driver hadn't been removed, since Schnee seemed to be unable to do so. "My main form is, y'know… Soul form, so…" I shrugged.
"That makes sense… So. How did you get a hold of such a device?" Ironwood asked me, getting straight to the point.
"I have no idea." I said honestly.
"Don't play games with me…" He growled, annoyed.
"No, seriously! I don't! I woke up in a snowy forest with it in my pocket! I think I heard voices but… I don't remember much… It's all just a blur… I went to bed, woke up, and it's like I'm in a different world!" I explained the best I could…
Ironwood frowned, and held up a badge of some sort… "Is he lying?" He asked the badge, as a small face appeared on it.
"Negative." The face said robotically.
I whistled, recognising it from somewhere… Probably a wiki page of some kind…
"Subject does However show traits of Aut-" The face continued before I slammed my hands on the table hard, panicking a little. I'd rather my personal information wasn't spread around willy-nilly like that thank you very much!
"I'd rather my personal information stay personal." I explained quickly.
"Understandable. We're still working out bugs on getting only the information we need." Ironwood explained, putting the badge away.
"Alright…" I muttered, to myself. "So… Why's Schnee transformed still?" I asked curiously.
"That's a good question. Schnee, change back." Ironwood ordered.
"Yes sir." She nodded, and did something to end the transformation… She had blackish green hair… Sorta like, Green, but super dark, so almost black. Her eyes were magenta and red coloured, and she wore a super cool looking trench-coat… "My name is Saniya Calista Sin… And I'm Kamen Rider Schnee." She introduced…
"So… Freaking… Awesome..." I said, in awe…
