RWBY: The Oni of Remnant
Chapter 5: The Cursed Temple
It was the middle of the night; in the forest outside of Vale are a group of teenagers exploring the woods, doing a test of courage after making a bet with another group of friends of theirs, of walking around the forest and to head back home. One of them looks a little on edge about being in the forest.
"Hey guys, maybe we should head back. This place is starting to make me feel uncomfortable." She said.
"Oh come on don't be scared. There's not even Grimm in these parts." One of the groups holding a flashlight told her.
"No it's not that! Don't you know we're right around by where the Cursed Temple is." She told him.
"The Cursed Temple?" One of them blinked.
"You don't know? There is an abandon temple right around in this area. Rumors say the head priest who lives in there died in there and that his ghost remain in that very temple, and rumors also say whoever enters that temple or even goes around in this area is said to have never be able to return and heard of again." She told them, which cause some of her friends to laugh.
"Hahaha! Oh come on you don't actually believe in that ghost story? I mean sure we have Grimm, Dust, and Aura, but there's no such things as ghosts." He told her.
"But…" She was about to say more, until one of her friends placed her hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry; he's right there's nothing to be afraid, okay." She assured her.
"A-Alright…" She nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, then let's keep going, we're just about half way there." He said before he walks ahead of his friends and they soon follow.
After making it to the halfway point in the forest, they heard some movements in the trees they look but saw nothing.
"What was that?!" One of them asked sound a little scared.
"I-It's probably just the wind…" The one with the flashlight said.
Then they heard more movements in another direction they look but saw nothing again, and they heard movements again and again and soon the sounds of movements have surrounded them.
"What's going on I thought you said there wasn't any Grimm here?!" One of them said.
"I-It's the Cursed Temple…!" She stated which made her friends look at her. "This is the Cursed Shrine's doing it has to be!"
"Oh come on not that again! Like I told you before there's no such things as-!" Before he could finished a monstrous figure that couldn't be seen because of the darkness pounces on him and takes him into the forest they look and saw that the both of them were gone and they soon heard their friend's screams.
"Michael!" One of them called out.
They soon heard monstrous roars they look and saw more shadowy figures that were the same shape and size as the one who took their friend, jumping out of the woods and heading straight towards.
Then their screams were heard from the forest that heads to the night sky, but there was no one around to hear them.
(Play: This Will Be the Day by Jeff Williams)
The song begins as Hitoshi was at the place his parents died.
(They see you as small and helpless. They see you as just a child. Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild.) Hitoshi then looks at his Henshin Onsa Onkaku, and then looks and saw Hibiki standing in front of him, looking at each other. As the wind blows past them, the title appears.
(Prepare for your greatest moments. Prepare for your finest hour. The dream that you've always dreamed is suddenly about to flower.) Yuki and Page, were sitting in front of their mother in their home. Nagisa was sitting on a bench playing some music with his Ongekigen.
(We are lightning. Straying from the thunder. Miracles of ancient wonder.) We see an army of Grimm but were soon replace with an army of Makamou. We soon see Ramon in front of a legion of goons. Then we see Kabuki, and standing beside him were Dark Decade and Shadow Moon. We soon see the members of Team HYPN in a circle, and the four of them charged.
(This will be the day we've waited for. This will be the day we open up the door.) While fighting, we soon see the three of them in their Rider forms fighting Makamous.
(I don't wanna hear your absolution. Hope you're ready for a revolution.) Then we see the members of Team JNPR looking at the school. We soon see Team RWBY practicing their weapons.
(Welcome to a world of new solutions. Welcome to a world of bloody evolution.) We see Ozpin, drinking his coffee, with Goodwitch next to him on an airship.
(In time-your heart will open minds. A story will be told…) We see each member behind their respective symbols. Then we move in front of Beacon and see every character one by one with the last one being Hitoshi.
(Because victory is in a simple soul!) We soon see Hibiki practicing with his Ongekibou Rekka before stopping when the title appears.
It has been a week since the entrance ceremony of entering Beacon Academy, and everyone is well adjusting to most of the classes.
After their last class, Team HYPN enters their dorm room with Nagisa sighing as he enters the room.
"Man finally done…" Nagisa mutters before he fallen onto his bed.
"You shouldn't be like that Nagisa, you're an Oni so shouldn't get this tired after classes." Yuki scolded him.
"Yuki there's no reason to be angry." Hitoshi told her.
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry…" Nagisa said while waving, before he sits up.
They heard a tabbing sound on the window; they look and saw that it was an Akane Taka Disk Animal.
"It's Asumu's." Hitoshi said, before he walks to the window and opens it and the Akane Taka changes into its disk mode before he catches it in his hand.
The reason the reason why the Disk Animal is here, is because Hitoshi and Asumu often send messages to each other by using the Disk Animals.
Hitoshi then inserted the Disk Animal into his Onkaku to play Asumu's message to him.
"Hey, Hitoshi I wished I wanted to ask how life in Beacon is for you and your friends. But sadly I have mission for you guys, an Oni mission." The recorded message of Asumu said, which had gotten Nagisa's and the Chidori sisters' attention as they listen on the rest of the message.
Team RWBY is seen walking to Team HYPN's room, because they promise to each other to hang out in town after school. Ruby then opens the door to greet them first.
"Hey guys!" Ruby calls out, before she and the rest of team saw Hitoshi and his team had just finished getting dressed in their causal outfits.
Hitoshi and his team soon notice them by the door.
"Oh hey there you four, what are you doing here?" Hitoshi asked.
"Don't tell me you forgot already, we were supposed to hang out today." Ruby reminded Team HYPN.
"Oh yeah that's right…" Nagisa said before he smacks himself on the head. "We forgot about that…"
"We're sorry about that, but we may have to put it on hold. We've just received a mission." Yuki told them as she tied up her air.
"Mission? What mission?" Blake asked.
"It's an Oni mission." Page told them as she holstered her weapons, which really got Team RWBY's attention.
"Really?" Yang asked sounding little curious.
"Yep, we've just received word that some Makamou is causing some trouble in some woods North of outside of Vale." Nagisa explains as he puts on his jacket. "Apparently, there's this curse abandon temple in the area of those woods, and when people enter around that are said to have disappeared never to be seen or heard of again. The perfect nesting ground for Makamous to hide."
This really surprised Team RWBY when they heard that.
"And you guys are going to deal with those Makamomo things?" Ruby asked.
"It's Makamou. But yes I'm afraid we're gonna have to." Yuki said before she picks up her trumpet case.
"Although there are other Oni around the around, we're the closet ones that near the area." Hitoshi said before he puts on his coat. "We may be students of Beacon, but we're Oni first and foremost, and dealing with Makamou is our duty."
"Yeah so sorry again, that we can't hang out, but we have a job to do." Nagisa told them, before he picks up his guitar case and then he and his team leaves the room. "But we'll probably do it next week."
"Yeah we're sorry." Page bowed her head to Team RWBY. "But don't worry we'll come back soon." She told them before she walks with her team again.
As Team RWBY watches them leave they soon looks at each other and Ruby then asked.
"You guys thinking, what I'm thinking?" Her Teammates nodded, which made her smile.
(Later)
Teams HYPN were seen walking in the said forest where the Makamou are said to attack, and walking them is none other than Team RWBY.
"Okay I just have to ask again…Why are you coming with us again?" Nagisa asked the members of Team RWBY.
"We told you before that we want to help you guys, in dealing with those Makamoha." Ruby said.
"It's Makamou Ruby, it's not really that hard to say." Nagisa said.
"Well whatever, the thing is that we want to help and we're not leaving. I mean isn't that friends are for?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah I agree, with Ruby. And I want to see what these Makamou things are like." Yang said sounding a little eager for a fight.
"Listen; as much as we appreciate it, and I'm sure you think of this as field trip, but I assure, you it's not." Yuki told them. "Like the Grimm the Makamou are extremely dangerous, but unlike them they're more intelligent and now how to better used their environment."
"So what, I mean come on Yuki, surely they won't be that much of a challenge. Compared to the entrance ceremony this will be easy." Weiss said.
Yuki sighs when she said that.
"Alright fine, if you want to come along then fine, but don't say we didn't warn you." Yuki said.
As they were walking, Nagisa soon smelled something and then raised his hand in front of his friends.
"Hold up…" Nagisa told them, which made them stop as he continues to smell out what he sense. "Follow me."
Nagisa go on head of his friends and they followed behind him. They walk for a while now, until they sound a certain area of the woods that was covered in claw marks on the trees around, as some of them look around Nagisa follows the smell and soon found it.
Nagisa then sits on one knee and picks something up with two of his fingers, Hitoshi and Ruby saw what he pick up and saw that it was blood.
"Is that blood…?" Ruby said.
"Yeah and it's still a little fresh too." Nagisa said as he rubs his two fingers on his thumb.
"And so are these claw marks." Blake said before she placed her hand on the marked trees.
"Yeah, there's definitely been a Makamou attack here. I'm sure of it." Hitoshi said as he looks around the area.
"This also means, that their nest must be in that so called cursed temple." Nagisa said as he rubs the blood off his fingers on the ground.
"Then that's where we're going next." Hitoshi said before he walks ahead.
"With you on that." Nagisa said before he follows, and the rest of their friends soon follow.
Unknown to them is that something has been watching them in the shadows, before it moves to the cursed temple in a fast speed already ahead of them.
Team HYPN and RWBY, have arrived to the stairs to the cursed temple, and they then walk up those stairs, and soon arrived at the top, where they found the ruined and run down temple.
"This place is sure is creepy…" Ruby said with her hand on her weapon.
"Yeah…But it's the perfect hideout for Makamou to run and hide." Hitoshi said as he looks around and soon brought out his Henshin Onsa Onkaku.
They then heard some movement by the well, which made them look but only saw some leaves in the air before they fallen to the ground.
"I agree, but doesn't seem like they're not going to be hiding now that we're here." Yuki said before she brought out her Henshin Onibue Onteki, along with her Ongekimei.
They soon heard more movement up the rooftops they look and got a quick look of a shadowy figure jumping from one rooftop to another.
"You girls better be ready for this, because there's definitely more than one here." Nagisa said, before he brought out his Ongekigen and soon readies his Henshin Kigen Onjō.
Then the doors from the main building were sent flying to the ground, and they soon saw three Makamou coming out.
The Makamous is a human shape cat, one of them has brown fur, one has white fur, and the last one have grey fur.
"Bakeneko…" Page said.
"Bake-what now?" Ruby asked.
"Bakeneko, these are a type of cat like Makamous, when they cut off their own tails they can produce more copies of themselves." Yuki explains.
They then heard more movement around them, which made Team RWBY, readies their weapons.
"And something tells me they have been busy." Nagisa said, before he and the others saw more Makamou Bakenekos arriving on the grounds of the temple and soon surrounded them.
Hitoshi, Yuki, and Nagisa plays their Henshin devices, and soon transformed into their Oni Rider forms, having their weapons ready for battle…Until they saw Ruby already charging ahead.
"Wait Ruby, don't!" Hibiki calls out but she didn't listen as she attacks a group of Bakenekos but they jump over her attack, which surprised her before they landed on and pin her to the ground.
"Ruby! Why you…Get off of my sister!" Yang exclaimed, before she runs to help her sister and fires at the Bakenekos that was pining her sister, but four more Bakenekos got in the line of fire taking the hit which destroyed them, and then two more Bakenekos runs through the smoke charging at Yang, she was going to punch at the two Makamous that was coming at, but they manage to dodge her attacks and grabs onto her arms and brought her to the ground and more Bakenekos runs to Yang to help pin her to the ground.
"Yang!" Her friends shouted in worried, before they saw the rest of the Bakenekos walking towards them.
"Alright here's the plan, Nagisa, you, Weiss, and Blake help with Yang! Yuki and Page, you're with me to help Ruby!" Hibiki told before out his sword.
"You got it!" His team and Blake nodded before Hibiki runs ahead and his friends soon follow behind him.
"Since when did we decide to put him in charge?!" Weiss said.
"Get off of me!" Yang exclaimed as she was trying to break free from the Makamous hold on her.
"Hey, get off of her!" The Bakeneko Makamous look and saw Todoroki charging at them going to slash at them with his Ongekigen at them which forced them to jump away from Yang to dodge his attack.
"You alright?" Todoroki asked before he offered his hand to her, which she gratefully accepts and then helps her stand back up on her feet.
"Yeah thanks for the save and it's a good thing my hair is still fine." Yang said as she checks her hair.
"Right…" Todoroki said, before they soon notice three Bakeneko Makamous charging at them, before an ice wall got in their path.
"You please stay focus." They look at Weiss who had her sword stab in the ground, before she pulls it out. "We're still in a middle of a battle."
"Oh right sorry." Todoroki said, before he looks and saw a Bakeneko Makamou attacking at him and he dodges its attack and slashes through the Makamou destroying it.
"Ruby, just hang on!" Hibiki told her, as he runs the Bakeneko Makamous and slashed them away from her.
The Bakeneko Makamous growls at Hibiki, before Ibuki fires at them with thunder bolts at the Makamous with her gun, and her sister Page fires regular bullets at them with her guns, destroying them, and soon fired upon another group of Bakenekos but they saw it in time to dodge their attacks.
"Ruby, are you alright?" Hibiki asked as he helps her sit back up.
"Yeah I think so-!" Ruby started before she winced and placed her hand on her arm after feeling pain on that arm.
Hibiki looks and saw that her arm was bleeding and there was a bite mark on it as well.
"You're wounded." Hibiki said.
"Don't worry, I can still fight…" Ruby mutters as she stands back on her feet, and attempting to lift her weapon up with her one good arm but was having trouble having it help.
"No you can't, you're in no condition to with that arm." Hibiki said.
"But…!" Ruby was about to argue back but Hibiki placed his finger in front of her lips to stop her of saying any more.
"There's no time to argue…Look out!" Hibiki said, before he got in front of Ruby when he saw two Bakeneko Makamous jumping at them, and Hibiki easily dodges their attack while slashing through them. "Right now we need to treat that arm."
"…A-Alright…" Ruby said while looking down, before she puts away her weapon.
Hibiki then saw another group of Bakeneko Makamous charging at them, they were hit by a shockwave by Ibuki's weapon in trumpet form that sent them flying to the ground.
"Hitoshi, you tend to Ruby. We'll cover you." Ibuki told him.
"Alright, thanks." Hibiki nodded, before she grabs onto Ruby's hand which slightly made her blushed, before he drags to somewhere safe.
Some Bakenekos were chasing after them, but Ibuki and Todoroki got in their way which made them stop and look at the two.
"Sorry but if you want them." Todoroki said.
"You'll have to get through us." Ibuki finished.
The Bakeneko Makamous growls before they charge at them and the two Onis get ready for battle.
Hibiki brought Ruby behind the temple to tend to her wound, and sets her down with her back against the wall.
"Alright now that's see how bad that wound is." Hibiki said before he rolls up Ruby's shirt sleeve to see the condition of the wound it was a deep bite mark. "Damn…And we don't have any bandages and ointment for a wound like that."
Ruby thought have an idea, and then grabs onto her cloak and lifts it up to Hibiki.
"What about using this?" Ruby asked.
"Well that would work," Hibiki said before he grabs onto her cloak. "But are you sure about this?"
"Yeah don't worry, I can fix it." Ruby said with assured smile.
"Alright then." Hibiki said, before he begins to rip off a portion of Ruby's cloak, and then wraps it around her wound as he ties it very tightly. "And there, that would do it until we get back to Beacon."
"Thanks Hitoshi." Ruby said with her hand on her makeshift bandage.
"Don't mention it." Hibiki told her.
"Also listen, I'm sorry if I gotten in you and others way of dealing with those Makamous, I just wanted to help as a way of repaying for that save in the entrance ceremony." Ruby told him.
"Hey it's alright," Hibiki said before he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Like you said you were just trying to help, so don't be so sad about that, okay?"
"Alright thanks…" Ruby said, before see saw Hibiki stands up, and soon asked the Oni a question. "Hey Hitoshi I can ask you something, but you don't have to answer if you don't want to, what made you decide to be an Oni?"
Hibiki was slightly surprised to hear that, and after seeing that there's no harm in telling, he soon gave his answer.
"Because Makamous killed my parents years ago…" Hibiki told her, which surprised Ruby. "My parents and I were traveling between Vale to a nearby town, when we were half way Makamous ambushed and manage to throw the car off the road, and that's when they Makamous killed them and eaten their bodies. They were about to do the same with me, that's until Asumu my mentor and the previous Hibiki, then he took me in and raised me, he then gave me the offer of being his successor of being the next Hibiki."
"I'm really sorry to hear that." Ruby said. "Is that why you took his offer to get revenge for your parents?"
"…No not for that," Hibiki answered which slightly surprised Ruby. "It's because I want to protect people from Makamou and Grimm alike, so that a lot of people won't suffer the same pain that I did on that day."
Ruby was in awe by Hibiki's answer, before he said.
"Now you stay here, while me, and the others handle the Bakenekos." Hibiki told her.
"Alright…" Ruby nodded.
Hibiki nodded back, before he runs to join and help his friends of dealing with the Bakeneko Makamous.
"Good luck…" Ruby whispers as she watches him leave.
Ibuki, Todoroki, Page, and their friends are on even grounds with the Bakeneko Makamous despite the Makamous having the advantage in numbers.
One of the main Bakeneko Makamous made two copies of itself by ripping off one of its tails, and were about to join the fight, until they were shot at by fireballs. They look and saw that it was Hibiki armed with his Ongekibou Rekka that fired at them.
"You didn't forget about me did you?" Hibiki asked, before he, and the Makamous charge at each other.
Blake is dodging attacks from two Bakeneko Makamous, until one of them finally land on a hit on her with a uppercut, but it was only a after image, as the real her dodge it and soon slashes past the two Makamous destroying them.
Weiss was facing four Bakeneko Makamous charging at her before they jumps towards her, while they were in the air, Weiss readies her sword and stabs it to the ground, which created ice spikes under the Makamous before they stabbed through them, which soon destroyed them.
Yang is seen blocking one Bakeneko's attack with her gauntlets, before she parries it's next attack at her and uppercuts the Makamou and follows with a few more punches and one final punch at the face sends the Makamou flying to others crashing onto them and sends them to the ground, before she fired upon them with a barrage of pulses from her weapons, destroying them, after seeing them destroyed she made a smirk.
"And that's for massing with my little sis." Yang said.
Ibuki is seen firing at the coming Bakeneko Makamous with one of the original with them, coming at her with ice needles, she manage to hit most of them but some of them manage to dodge her attack, as they were coming closer, Page come in front of her sister, and face the charging Bakenekos, she then changes her weapons to their snake chain mode, and hurls them at them, while they manage to dodge them, Page smirk before she swings her weapons and manage to wrapped the chains around the Makamous with the original Bakeneko trapping them before they fallen to the ground.
"Well done Page," Ibuki told her, before she brought out her Ongekimei and attaches it to her gun forming its trumpet mode. "Now please step aside."
Page nodded before she walks away from Ibuki's path as she readies her Ongekikan – Reppuu, and soon said.
"Ongeki Sha: Shippū Issen!" Ibuki then plays her trumpet firing a shockwave at the Bakeneko Makamous and when it hit them they were destroyed along with the original.
Ibuki twirls her trumpet gun upward.
Todoroki is charging and slashing past through copies of Bakenekos destroying them, as he is heading towards the original, and when he destroyed the last two copies of Bakenekos he then stabs his Ongekigen – Retsurai onto the Makamou, he then brought out his Ongekishin – Raigou and attaches onto his weapon, to form it's guitar mode, and soon said.
"Ongeki Zan - Raiden Gekishin!" Todoroki then begins playing his guitar for his finishing move, and after playing for a while the Makamou soon exploded, and when it died down, Todoroki plays his guitar and shouted. "Yeah~!"
Hibiki is seen bashing through copies of Bakenekos with his Ongekibou Rekka with fire impacts when they hit, which destroyed them, he then saw the last original Bakeneko Makamou charging him for an attack, which he blocks with his weapons, Hibiki then lowers his hold on purpose as his face was now in front of the Makamou.
"Kihōjutsu: Onibi!" Hibiki breaths out his purple flame, and when it hit the Bakeneko Makamou it pushed the Makamou back and sends it to the ground.
When the Bakeneko Makamou got back up, Hibiki had attached his Ongekikou Kaentsuzumi on it, which soon enlargers, and Hibiki soon readies one of his techniques.
"Ongeki Da: Ikki Kasei no Kata!" Hibiki announces, as he begins to beat the drum with the Rekka together hitting with them at the same time over and over.
(音撃打・一気火勢の型lit. "Sound Attack Stroke: the Single Spirit, Force of Fire Style)
After playing his finishing move for a while and after landing the final beat, the Bakeneko Makamou soon explode, and when it died down, Hibiki twirls his Rekka around, and place one of them on his shoulder and the other pointed to the ground.
Unknown to them is that the hooded man is watching them with a impressed smirk on his face, on how Hibiki and his friends defeated the Bakeneko Makamous.
"Most impressive, but I wouldn't expect anything else from you Hibiki, regardless which world you're from." He said, before he leaves into the forest and disappears in the shadows.
(Later)
After dealing with the Bakeneko Makamous, Hibiki and others look inside the temple and soon found survivors, and soon brought them back to town, and found the proper authorities to and then sends them to the officers as they continue to hide.
Before Hibiki and others could leave, one of the survivors runs back to them and had given them their thanks for saving them, Hibiki and the others told them it was no problem, before they leave and head back to Beacon.
After Hitoshi sends a report to Asumu about the battle, and he and the rest of his team checks on Ruby, who was in her room after visiting the nurse's office to tend to her arm.
Ruby is seen seated on her bed, with her bandage arm with a brace to support her arm.
"Are you feeling any better Ruby?" Page asked.
"Yeah, the nurse said that my wound will heal for 3 to 4 days if I let it rest enough, and then I'll be good as new." Ruby answered.
"That's certainly good to hear." Hitoshi sighed relief. "If something worse were to happen to you I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."
"Hey don't worry about it. It's all in the past now, but I have to say those Makamous are certainly something else, and you guys deal with those kind of monsters regularly." Blake said.
"Yes indeed we do. Thus is our duty as Oni." Yuki said.
"And I won't lie that it is a dangerous job, but if we get to protect and keep people safe, then it's worth it." Nagisa said.
"That's a good saying!" Yang said before she slaps her hand on Nagisa's back.
"Glad that you agree…" Nagisa mutters as he rubs his back where she smacked him on, and wonders how strong the blonde girl is.
"Listen, I know that some of us got in the way, but will still like to keep helping you guys, if that's alright?" Ruby asked.
Hitoshi and his team look at each other they shrugged, and soon Hitoshi gave his answer.
"Sure, but I won't guaranteed it will all the time, and considering what kind of mission and Makamou we'll be dealing with, then we'll allow you come with us." Hitoshi said, which made Ruby smiles, before she nods and said.
"Alright glad to hear that." Ruby didn't notice her team was sighing, and Weiss was shaking her heads and Blake shrugged.
After talking, Hitoshi and his team were now outside of Team RWBY's room saying their goodbyes.
"Well best that we all get some rest for tomorrow. See ya then." Hitoshi said.
"See ya then." Ruby said while waving them goodbye, before Hitoshi closed the door.
Now they were gone, Ruby laid on her bed and remember the times Hitoshi as Hibiki saved her.
"Hitoshi Hidaka…Huh…" Ruby whispers, her sister Yang heard her, which made her have a teasing grin.
"What was that sis? Did you just say Hitoshi's name, don't tell you have a thing for him?" Yang asked with a teasing tone in her voice.
This made Ruby blushed and sit back up.
"No Yang, it's not like that!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Yeah sure it is." Yang said, before she folded her arms with a smirk on her face.
"I'm being serious!" Ruby said, before she lay back down on her bed and placed her pillow over her head, which made Yang chuckles.
"My little sister is all growing up now." Yang said.
To Be Continued…
There you have it hope you like it. Review to tell me what you think of the story.
