Hello all you Boils and Ghouls!

I um... Think I need to apologize to all of you for something before we start...

I don't think I can write the filler chapters...

That's right... I said it... My mind just keeps jumping from one idea to the next, trying to come up with things meant for the story but things that don't affect the main story are just...

I can't keep the focus for it... It's like one of those "Do what must be done and nothing else" moments where I have a specific goal I want to complete and any side tasks will just derail me...

For this, I am truly sorry... But I cannot write any filler chapters... Therefor, please do not expect them from me... I'm sorry to have upset any of you...

To answer your question, Ciel Blaze, I don't think so as I already mentioned that none of the main rider gashats will be appearing.

This means all forms of Ex-Aid (except Mighty Brothers XX), all forms of Brave (except POSSIBLY Legacy), both forms of Snipe and all forms of Laser will not be appearing. That being said, I may make an exception if I feel it's necessary...

I don't own anything but Dichro, Kuroto-wannabee, and Bobby Pin. Also, I'm bumping the rating up to M after this chapter hits. You'll see why...

)-Third Person PoV-(

As the dichromatic young man stared at the scene unfolding before him, his mind began to wander across multiple trains of thought as he tried to piece together why the young tri-color haired girl; who wore a white jacket with a pink interior, brown pants, black gloves, black and white boots with very high heels, a brown corset under the jacket curved in the middle and at the bottom which exposed her hips, and a multitude of necklaces, which hang haphazardly around her neck; was even here to begin with. 'Why the hell is Neo here?!' Dichro kept thinking to himself as he looked on and grasped at his weapons, almost ignoring the door opening behind him as Coco and Bobby both ran out to see the commotion. 'There's no way I can handle her on my own...' he deduced upon finally giving up trying to figure out the why of the situation, 'Even with Coco's help, I don't think we can do much... My only real choice is to go Para-DX and abuse the HELL out of my semblance; even if it means she catches me using it...' At this thought, his left eye turned red as he drew Plague and Pestilence from his belt loops, only to hear someone calling his name.

"Dichro, don't just stand there, let's take care of these creeps!" Coco called out, transforming her purse into its gatling gun form. As she says this, Neo turns to the duo for a moment before falling victim to the urge to double-take as she spots the Ant Faunus. She stares in genuine, wide-eyed shock at the young man for a few seconds before pulling out a scroll and looking to either side of her. She quickly types something up on the device before holding it up slightly and looking around in genuine confusion as a monotone voice played out, "Did someone lose an angry, red and blue midget running around?" With a twitch of his antennae, he visibly appears to grow angrier as he scowls and glares at her, but internally he was having a conflict with himself; 'I know she outclasses me,' he mused, 'but there is no way I am letting her go free because if I did, she'll just hurt more people and eventually Yang... I WON'T let that happen.'

"You take care of the White Fang, Coco," he called out as he readied his weapons, unaware that his left eye had turned the same shade of red his right eye was, "The ringleader is mine." Even more confused than before, Neo stared at the young boy wondering just what he was thinking when his ally opened fire on the White Fang members. When she turned to see what was going on, Dichro threw Pestilence at the distracted girl with all his might - ant strength included - and watched as it flew at incredible speeds. The ice-cream-themed girl only had seconds to respond as she brought her umbrella up to deflect the weapon, just as her opponent threw Plague and pulled back on Pestilence, before finding herself having to bend over backwards to avoid the new attack. The dichromatic boy flung Pestilence from the right side in a sweeping motion to try and catch her with a horizontal attack as he pulled Plague back to him.

The blade connects with her side as the weight and speed combined cause her to fly into an alleyway. The Ant Faunus considered his next move as he pulls his weapons back to him; grabbing them by the ribbon just below the shafts, he thinks to himself as he dashes to where Neo crashed, 'Perfect... If I can get her away from prying eyes, I can henshin into Para-DX and use my Semblance to its fullest potential.'

Neo, on the other hand, was pulling herself out of some trash cans that she was sent into as she propped herself upon her umbrella. 'What in the world is he thinking going straight for me by himself,' she contemplated as she readied herself by opening her umbrella, 'No matter... I'll just toy with him a little; he seems severely lacking in the experience and finesse departments, so it should be easy to rile him up and make him slip up...' Just as she finished the thought, her opponent sent his weapons straight for her with him being dragged through the air with them. She managed to roll out of the way of the axes, but only barely dodged the sidekick aimed for her head with a back-flip. 'Okay, nevermind...' she reflected to herself, 'This guy's already too riled if he's sending himself flying willingly. He's also a long-ranged melee, which is something I haven't seen before, so I need to make sure to get out of here...' A grin formed on her face as her brown and pink eyes swapped colors with each other. 'Looks like playtime's over-' As she tried to use her Semblance, that's when it hit her - her eyes grew wide as saucers in shock and disbelief, staring into nothingness as she feels something blocking her Semblance. Her opponent's red-trimmed weapon slammed into face, causing her to stumble backwards as she tries to come to grips with what's happening.

'Bingo, b*tch...' Dichro taunted internally as he proceeded to fling Plague and Pestilence back and forth at his target, whom finally recovered enough to open her umbrella and used it to deflect the attacks. 'What's going on?!' she asked herself in a clear panic, 'Why is my Semblance not working?!'

After a barrage of attacks, the dichromatic young man finally launched both weapons at her at full force causing both weapons to skid over the top of the umbrella. With one mighty heave, Dichro pulled as hard as he could on the ribbons; this caused the weapons to latch onto the umbrella by their beards and literally yanked the umbrella out of Neo's hands - allowing all three weapons to travel back to Plague and Pestilence's owner. With his arms spread out, the Ant Faunus caught the umbrella which made his weapons fall off it from the recoil to the ground. With his opponent's weapon in his hands, he closed the umbrella up and gripped it at the top and bottom, panting in clear exhaustion, before pushing his hands towards each other. The effects of this action were instantaneous as the umbrella crumbled and bent in curved zigzags the closer his hands came together before it eventually resembled more of a pretzel than what it used to be. Her shock and confusion soon gave way to anger at the sight of her ruined weapon. With renewed vigor, she dashed straight for her smaller opponent who tried to pick up his weapons but wasn't fast enough as her left knee caught him in the gut; sending him flying backwards and crashing into a corner of another alley entrance. Barely recovering as he stood up, the dichromatic fighter grabbed the ribbons and tugged on them enough to follow him back as he went down this new area.

'Okay, she's pissed now...' Dichro thought as he narrowly avoided a spinning right kick by ducking under it and continuing down the alley, 'I can finally give her the punishment she deserves.' Turning around, he side-stepped a right punch meant for his face before thrusting his own in a jab meant for her torso; to which she merely skipped away from and landed a roundhouse kick with her left leg into the back of his head and sent him sprawling into the ground. As he stood up, panting and slightly battered, he gripped the ribbon of Pestilence and flung it at his opponent whom had to duck under it to avoid the attack, but couldn't avoid the next strike as Dichro pulled once more on the ribbon, this time towards him, and had the axe flying straight down into Neo's back. The beard caught the ice-cream-themed girl's jacket and began to tug on it as the Ant Faunus pulled on the ribbon; ripping the jacket completely in two; causing it to fall off her arms and revealing her upper torso and arms along with a slight wound on her back from where Pestilence dug into her jacket. Her corset reached just under her bust but wasn't tall enough to conceal it, though neither opponent paid any mind as they glared each other in the eyes. As she reached for her jacket and ripped it off to toss it away, it soon became clear to both of them that neither one was walking away from this fight unscathed.

)-Meanwhile-(

After seeing Dichro run off after the girl who got flung to the side, Coco resumed firing at the White Fang thugs. "Good thing I brought blank dust shells," she said to herself as she watched the weaker bullets pelt the goons and send them tumbling into the ground, dropping their cargo with them as they fell. Several of the White Fang managed to notice and started to run at her with their own weapons drawn; mostly swords and daggers with a few axes in the mix. The fashionista noticed this and turned her attention to her would-be attackers before opening fire on them. Most of them went down in a matter of seconds, but one of them managed to sneak her own way in; a Deer Faunus from the looks of her antlers, only to find herself flung away by what she thought was an invisible force.

Coco, however, smirked as she saw this and simply called out, "C'mon, cuz; you know you should be back inside trying to make sure your merchandise is safe, right?" Behind her, Bobby walked up to his cousin, wearing a strange looking brace on his right hand with 5 small spools of what appeared to be thread running to each of his fingers and thumb; each finger having a band around it near the tips and a small loop on each one where the thread was being fed to, and smiled slightly as he waved his hand and replied, "Darling, you know I can't just sit back and let these 'ruffians' have their way while they're near MY store, now do you?" As he finished this, he fed his aura into the threads and flicked his hand in a diagonal backhand which caused the threads to extend and smack several still-standing White Fang members into the walls of other buildings and several other things; one of which was a flower cart. As he brought his hand down, he wiggled his fingers up and down some which caused the threads to wrap around the weapons of some of the thugs before pulling his hand to the side as if slapping someone in the face; the end result was the shattering of said weapons as they literally fell to pieces. As the goons stared in shock at the remains of their weapons, Coco opened fire on them; sending them to the ground.

"I know but you're expected to," Coco rebutted as she held her weapon pointing up, "You did, afterall, flunk Haven Academy." Bobby's face went red in embarrassment as he glared at his cousin and nearly shouted, "I did not 'flunk' anything - I dropped out because the headmaster recommended I try to go somewhere that can actually TEACH me something I could learn!"

"In other words, they told you that lie because they were tired of you being a lazy daydreamer," the Fashionista teased with a smirk as she looked back at Bobby, whom simply flicked his hand towards a Fox-tailed Faunus that was trying to sneak his way to them; the action caused the threads to slap the Faunus away and into a street-lamp, causing it to be dented with the White Fang member's back imprint. "Quite the opposite, dear cousin," Bobby retorted, "They simply ran out of courses that I could learn from. That's initially why I had moved back to Vale before I found out about Father's theater and taking up the mantle to make it even better in my OWN way." Coco merely rolled her eyes before turning around to see the chest of the tallest person she had seen since Yatsu walk up to her with a fist in his free hand; the sound of cracking knuckles being heard as he pressed on his hand.

"So... You're the hunters causing all the trouble?" the man asked before cocking his fist back, ready to throw a punch, only to be interrupted by a swift kick to his family jewels that sent him into the air a few feet. Landing on his head and knees, he held his injured 'pride' moaning in a more high-pitched tone than what he spoke with earlier. Coco merely knelt down in front of him before taunting him, "I'm a huntress-in-training, asshole... Get it right." As she got up, she delivered a swift kick to his head; knocking him out in that one blow, before hearing something odd. It was muffled and not quite loud, but she could definitely tell it was some kind of odd music playing.

"What in the world is that?" she asked to no one in particular, though her cousin decided to answer her anyway...

"If I had to guess," Bobby started, "I'd say your friend is in a bit of a pickle." This got her a bit worried, knowing that he was still a newbie, but that worry was soon replaced with shock and confusion as she saw what was essentially a topless version of the girl Dichro was fighting against fly back first into a group of unconscious White Fang members. As she and Bobby turned to where the ice-cream-themed girl came from, they noticed someone in, what was arguably, the best looking clash of red and blue armor with a black and white spandex suit and golden trim in very fashionable places.

As she took in the newcomer, the fashionista's confusion turned into a sort of drunken realization mixed with confusion as she says, "Ohhh... Oh it's going to be one of those days, isn't it..." Her cousin merely shrugged; still as confused as she is.

)-Earlier-(

)-First Person PoV-(

I got sent reeling into a wall from a jump kick Neo landed on my head when I tried to retaliate by throwing Plague at her, but she merely ducked under it and kneed me in the gut and quickly followed it with a right hook - that hook of hers was nasty, by the way... And it looked like she was far from done as she kept attacking me relentlessly. 'I have to do something,' I thought to myself as I took another jab to the chest, 'Otherwise, this girl will kill me.' As I thought this, I came to the realization that my weapons would be no good here; especially with how little training I've had with them... So I opted with the only other thing I had besides the GGD...

My own two hands.

As she pulled out a small pike from her left boot and held it in a reverse grip, I brought my hands up in a kickboxer's traditional stance and braced myself. When she tried to stab me, I side-stepped to the left and tried to deliver a quick jab to her side. She tried to block it, but it wound up bruising her arm heavily and sending her into some trash cans. As she kicked herself out of the mess, I switched positions of my fists and feet before dashing up to here - my left fist cocked back and ready to strike with my right arm positioned to block whatever came at my head and chest. She saw this and jumped to the side to avoid the punch; prompting me to spin around to catch myself from falling forward, but it was enough to leave me open to a swift kick to the gut and send me into the same trash pile she was in. I tried to get back up, but was unable to as I avoided getting stabbed in the face by rolling to my left; clearing myself from the trash before I got back onto my feet panting. From the looks of things, she seemed ready to end it here and now... And to be honest...

So was I...

Panting, I dug into my jacket and pulled out the GGD and turned the dial to Perfect Puzzle almost immediately after I freed it - causing it to sound out its special chime as I did so.

"PERFECT PUZZLE! What's the next stage?"

As it played out and the screen appeared behind me, power-ups flooded the alley, shocking the girl into trying to avoid the 'attacks'. I simply smirked despite being out of breath and said, "Henshin" as I pressed the buttons.

"Dual up!"

The familiar screen of the armor appeared in front of me as I straightened myself - passing through me and forming the armor around my form as it did so.

"GET THE GLORY IN THE CHAIN! PERFECT PUZZLE!"

Slamming the GGD into the holster, I looked at the now utterly shocked Neo who only barely recovered enough to try and throw her weapon at me. It bounced off my chest harmlessly before she ran for me with her right fist cocked back. As she threw the punch, I caught it by the wrist and rammed my right elbow into her side as hard as I could... Though immediately wished I hadn't...

Since I hadn't let go of her hand, I heard a sickening crack of ribs with a loud popping noise; it was only after hearing the pop that I let go and... I finally saw the damage I had done... Her entire right arm hung lower down at the shoulder than it should have, indicating I dislocated her entire arm, and judging from the look of pain and shock on her face I could tell she was not enjoying it at all... Screaming a muted scream, she held onto her arm and tried to slingshot it back into place, but I wouldn't give her the chance... Instead, I ran at her and kneed her in the chest, sending her flying... Into some unconscious White Fang members... 'Damnit,' I thought to myself, 'Looks like now's the time for Para-DX to make his public debut...'

I walked over to the now bleeding girl and grabbed her by the hair before lifting her up and slamming a fist into her gut. I saw the red liquid of her life shoot out of her mouth and onto my armor before throwing her back onto the ground, but, before she could get back up, I slammed a foot down onto the back of her left knee and listened to the sickening crack of her bones. Once more, she screamed her muted scream as pain and fear took over her. She gripped her now bleeding leg with her one good arm before I stomped onto her head; holding back just enough to inflict pain while also keeping her alive. As I pressed my heel further into the side of her face, I could see her eyes looking at me with tears in them...

Almost like she was staring death in the face...

If you had told me days ago that I would feel bad about beating down Neo Politan, I would have laughed and spat in your face before kicking you in the gut... But seeing this girl's face now... It actually makes me wonder if I really am a monster...

I heard the sound of a weapon being aimed at me from behind before I heard Coco's voice calling out to, what I assumed at the time, me, "Alright, that's enough! Step away from the girl... Slowly..."

I know what her gun could do to me if she really wanted it to, but even her telling me to move away from Neo wasn't necessary... Keeping my eyes on her, I simply removed my foot from her head and stepped backwards slowly... Each step bringing me closer to Coco until I heard the clang of heavy metal behind me; shocking me out of my concentration.

"YEOUCH!" I heard Bobby cry out, which caused me to jump even more as I looked back. I was barely at arm's length from Coco and she all of a sudden couldn't lift her minigun anymore... Seriously, I need to experiment with my Semblance... As I looked to Bobby and Coco, a thought occurs to me... 'If me being near her caused this...' I mused, 'What would happen if she were away from me?' I took a few steps to the side, but not before I could hear a ripping sound, and sure enough that gun of hers went flying behind her... I would have asked if she were okay, but I was too distracted seeing how banged up Neo was...

She was an absolute mess... Blooded and bruised everywhere I hit her in both Faunus and Rider form... Her right arm stretched out at the shoulder and bruised badly where I had grabbed her wrist... Her left leg bent in the wrong angle... Even her hair was blood-clotted with blood stains falling from her mouth and tear stains running from her eyes along and down her nose and cheeks... Her eyes still wide with fear as she hyperventilated...

I could hear Coco trying to ask me something, but I couldn't make out what it was with my attention span as it was then and there... So I improvised a response...

"Your little friend ran away with his tail between his legs after he got beaten up by this one here..." I said as I pointed to Neo, "You'd do well to keep someone resilient to illusionary Semblances watching her at all times... As for your friend... If you're lucky, you might catch him at the ports..." With that said, I walked to the alley I had left through and grabbed the nearest power-up I could find; a light blue medal depicting a Rider being faded clear against a backdrop.

"INVISIBLE!"

I continued to walk, hearing the shocked gasps of Bobby and Coco behind me, before I ran in the direction of the Bullhead ports; I needed to keep some of my story consistent, at least...

)-A Few Hours Later-(

)-Beacon Academy Dorms-(

Okay... That... was exhausting...

I had to de-henshin just before I got to the ports and limped my way onto a Bullhead asking to take me back to Beacon... I noticed that Plague and Pestilence were clipped to my pants when I remembered that they were still loose before I transformed but thought nothing of it... As I stepped onto the Bullhead, I could hear Coco panickly call me and tried to get me to tell her what happened... I only told her that I got my arse whooped and that some guy in weird armor told me to get out of there; that he'd take care of the rest. When she told me that she had tried to ask him what happened to me and what his reply was I almost laughed then and there after realizing that I made myself sound like a complete jackass.

After we got back to Beacon, she kept trying to pull me to the Infirmary saying that there was something wrong with my aura... I refused her offer and said that all I needed was rest - and speaking of rest... Professor Goodwitch ended up seeing me and tried to suggest the same thing Coco tried to pull... I was too tired to bother going there and voiced my opinion on the matter, which got her to tell me that they managed to find a dorm room for me to stay in temporarily. It was a few floors above RWBY and JNPR's dorms so it wasn't that far to walk back to them... As I entered the room, it looked much like how JNPR's dorm is... plain, beige colored walls with a row of four beds along the wall. Locking the door and closing it shut behind me, I simply limped my way to the closest bed, not paying attention to which one it actually was, and just flopped ontop of it... As I did so, I felt a shocking pain shoot through my entire body... A pain I hadn't felt since I first transformed into Para-DX...

I pulled the GGD out of my jacket and set it on the night stand before laying back down again, thinking it might have been the cause, but once more the pain shot through me... Realization began to dawn on me as I put 2 and 2 together...

"Damnit..." I cursed at myself... "Now I know why it didn't kill me when it should have... I was infected the moment I came here..."

I soon realized that...

"I'm this world's Patient Zero..."

)-xXx-(

Sorry if this one felt a little rushed, everyone, but I hope you enjoyed it all the same. Now we're beginning to see a little more of what's in store for the world of Remnant, at the very least, but there's still so much more to come... So until then...

See ya next game...
