Chapter 5

A/N – I welcome you to my fifth chapter in this story. Thank you people who have followed, favorited, or reviewed for any of my stories even with the mistakes within them. Sorry if it took a while to get this chapter out but distractions are plentiful, such as chemistry. Also I hope you enjoy this first scene before the opening song as it was an idea that I thank Brave Kid for as he was helping me with some details and came up with the idea. Also I realized that I messed up on dialogue finally after so many chapters and stories. I knew I was messing something up so thank you for reading through my mistakes.

Chapter 5

Story Start.

"At least we are getting paid to help clear out some Grimm" said Coco Adel as she and her team were out in the emerald forest to prepare the grounds for the initiation test.

"Think about it like this coco, more shopping money at least" Velvet said jumping over a boarbatusk as yatsuhashi smashed it with his large sword. Currently, Ozpin had sent several teams of more experienced students out to lower the population of Grimm for the initiation test as the sudden influx of darkness caused a widespread increase to the Grimm population.

"Sir, thank you for taking some time to allow me to learn from you" said a large hulking red and white armored humanoid Ursa with a large warhammer on its back.

"It's no problem Agro, you wish to learn so I will teach you" said a black general like machine being as they walked into view of team CFVY.

"What is that thing and is that some kinda mutated Ursa?" Coco said as Velvet took a picture which faded out the general but still showed the armored Ursa. The two then stopped with Agro growling dangerously.

"It seems we have some guests" Schwarz said noticing the flash of the camera as they turned towards team CFVY with them preparing for a battle.

Agro then reached for his hammer only for Schwarz to put out a hand stopping him. "Let me handle this one, watch and learn" he said walking forward. The first to attack was coco who began firing her Gatling gun at the shadow general as he pulled out his sword and began slicing through all the bullets as Fox rushed forward. He then attempted to punch Schwarz only for him to be countered and smacked across the face, punched in the gut, and kicked into the air knocking the man into a tree cracking a rib and causing him to fall into spiky bush leaving many cuts and thorns to cover him leaving him to suffer.

"Fox" Coco yelled as Yatsuhashi rushed forward swinging his large sword at the smaller general. As he swung down, Schwarz just chuckled.

"How weak" Schwarz chuckled appearing behind Yatsuhashi sheathing his sword with a click as the larger man stayed still before almost dropping his sword and falling to his knees with many cuts laying across his body bleeding onto the ground, his aura depleted as he used his large sword as a stand to hold up his body before falling into unconsciousness.

"Yatsuhashi". It was then that Velvet sent out a distress signal from her scroll calling for back up as she and coco both began to fire at the general with velvet using a dust hologram of coco's handbag. Schwarz however blocked all the bullets near him as he rushed forward meeting coco who had turned her weapon back into a handbag to meet his charge while Agro just withstood any stray bullet that hit his armor.

She then blocked his first couple strikes with velvet joining in with some kicking only for the general to quickly overpower the two knocking them into some trees where Velvet was knocked unconscious with her arm breaking with a snapping sound as her aura depleted. "You bastard" Coco snarled through gritting teeth holding her left arm with a small stream of blood on her lip only for the air to be knocked out of her from a fist to the gut, knocking her out cold.

"Lesson #1, Be prepared for anything during a battle and be swift to take down your enemies" he said to Agro as he swirled around as a kurainer picked up both shadows as other students began arriving at what could only be called a slaughter with the destruction left behind.

"Excuse me, coming through. Injured students to the infirmary" said Professor Peach as several teams were coming back into the school ground with the initiates watching.

The campus was chaos currently with many students either having minor injuries or some major ones after lowering the Grimm population further. However, four students were currently in a near fatal condition with cracked ribs and either bleeding out or punctured organs from injuries. They were currently being brought to the infirmary care unit on stretchers with IV drips as their auras were in dangerously low conditions and not healing them.

"What happened" Ruby said staring at one of the students, a rabbit Faunus who seemed to have awoken but still injured. She tried to speak but it seemed to hurt her, she did however managed to drop a photo before falling back into unconsciousness. Picking up the photo, Ruby gasped as she saw the large armored knight Ursa in the photo as well as a blurred out figure next to it.

"What is it?" Weiss asked taking the photo before being shocked at what she saw. "A mutated Ursa, that's what they fought to give them those injuries?" She said not noticing the blurred out figure as she went over to give the photo to Peach. As Weiss went to give the photo to Peach, Tristan, Cynthia, and Sora ran over to see what had happened.

"Did you see the kurainer that flew away earlier?" Sora asked with everyone saying no. He then began noticing as everyone began to doubt themselves and their motives leading to some darkness to smog around them before it began streaming into the emerald forest.

"Everyone, cheer up and think positive" Tristan said as a large boy with a chest plate walked up to him.

"Why don't you just shut up you stupid dirty Faunus" he shouted going to punch Tristan only for Sora to grab his fist and squeeze. Soon a look of pain overcame the boy as he struggled to get Sora to release his fist.

"I don't take kindly to anyone bullying my friends" Sora said pushing the future student back as Ozpin coughed as he showed up. "Hello Sir" Sora quickly said as Ozpin stood between the two boys.

"If you are going to fight, at least do it in the training arena with a teacher watching" he sighed as he and clockwork sipped their mugs. "'The initiation will be on hold until later this afternoon for the teachers to scout the forest'" they said sipping their drinks as students began to grumble in annoyance.

"You three are needed for a mission from Ticket" Clockwork said waving his free hand around. He then began to shoo them away as Ruby overheard them. Ruby then went over to Yang while Weiss watched.

"Yang, they are going on a mission. Let's sneak onto their trains" Ruby whispered only for Weiss to grab her arm and turn her around. Weiss then observed Ruby closely before sighing.

"If you are going to sneak into one of those trains at least take me with you" she sighed as Ruby seemed to glow before grabbing her and speeding down the tunnels. Yang soon followed after with Blake silently following curious about what they were doing.

Down in the substation, the Ressha were currently being worked on by the animal masked workers as they were finishing the repairs and check ups. "Quickly, let's get on" Weiss whispered as they silently got onto the pink ressha just as the barriers reactivated. Inside, they hid just as Nagoda walked by dressed up in a cleaning apron.

He sighed as he walked through the halls tiredly passing by the four girls not noticing them at all. "Why did I have to eat so much" he sighed dusting some seats until the overhead sounded out for boarding passengers. He then excitedly cheered throwing off his apron and rushing to get to the front of the train as the not yet team RWBY got out of hiding to see a rainbow barrier flash around the ressha as the others checked in.

With the ToQGers, they were currently being shown a map by ticket. "You see this flashing black spot on the map? That is a shadow town, any black spots that flash are shadow towns that are being taken by the shadow line so let's go and free this station" ticket said using a large wood pointer to show off the map.

"I see, can I fight off my debt?" Nagoda said raising his hand.

"You can not fight off your debts or I won't have any cleaning partners" Wagon said posing and taking selfies on her food cart. They the began to take off with the red ressha whistling as it rode onto the tracks. As they took off, wagon didn't notice as a black sleeved arm grabbed some food trays and left cards of lien in there place. They also didn't notice as a reddish blur went out the door going to the other ressha holding onto four platters of food.

As they rode along, they flew over the own of vale and saw the station where they fought the saber shadow. Soon they were out of vale and into the forests outside the city following alongside a road before splitting off into some tracks. "This forest is beautiful" Sora said as he watched the passing by wildlife run alongside the ressha before splitting back into the woods. He then saw a crow of all things fly alongside the trains before flying higher.

"It seems I'm missing some lunches, I guess some of the newer workers took some and left money behind to pay for them" wagon said picking up some lien from her cart. "This won't do, we don't accept lien on the rainbow line, only hard work" she said placing the lien into the counter as she went around the train carts. It was then that Blake took back the lien Ruby had left behind for the meals they had eaten.

"They apparently don't accept money here" Blake said returning to her reading as she passed Ruby her money.

Soon the lights flashed in the compartments as the overhead speakers started while the trains stopped slowly. "We are having issues going forward with the tracks to the town missing, luckily we have the car carrier ressha hooked up so good luck finding the Shadow" ticket said through the speakers as the cart behind them began shifting around. Looking out the window, they saw a spherical barrier of dark energy.

Soon, Nicola and the others were rushing past them in their suits not even noticing them or Yang who was sleeping on one of the seats next to the door in their rush to see the new ressha. "It's a giant ramp to launch us like rockets!" Cynthia shouted excitedly jumping up and down looking over Nagoda's shoulder. They then got into cars of their color that seemed to shimmer in the light. "Blast off" Cynthia shouted as her car was launched into the dark barrier stalling for a second before breaking through. Just as the barrier reformed, a black crow smacked into it sending black lightning shocks into the bird.

Next to be launched was Tristan in his blue car as he too broke through with the crow following through with him still having black electrical shocks course through its body. "Fire in the hole" Nagoda said as he got launched over the barrier hitting the near the top as he broke through. Inside the darkness, the cars dispersed into light particles leaving them to have to land from however high they were. As he was falling and screaming, he was hit by Nicola's car entering the town sending him in front of a restaurant face first into the ground. Looking around, the sky seemed normal but with a purple tinge and miasma around.

The building seemed to be boarded up with a sign saying out of business. Leaving the building was a man in a business suit. "Hey what happened here?" Nagoda asked as the man ran up to him.

"Please, do you have any food?" He begged grabbing Nagoda's arms and kneeling. "Please, I'll do anything. I need food for my kids. You don't need to give me food but give some to my children" he said as two young boys looked out from a car in front of the closed restaurant.

Reaching into his jacket, Nagoda pulled out three apples. "I was saving this but I think you three need them more" he said smiling as he placed the apples into the hands of the man.

"Thank you" he said rushing to his car only for the apples to fly out of his hand and into a large garbage can like monsters mouth.

"I knew I smelt some food around here" the shadow said laughing while patting its belly as the man began crying again. Nagoda then pulled out his ressha and ran up to the shadow.

"Shadow, you will not get away with taking food from others and starving them" he said as he punched bucket shadow backwards and opening his henshin brace.

Henshin Itashimasu, please stand behind the white line.

"ToQ Change" he then inserted the red ressha and slammed the brace down on it as he ran forward.

ToQ Ichigo, ToQ Ichigo.

He then pulled out a ToQ blaster and began firing at the shadow. "Take this" he then changed it to sword form and slashed the shadow doing some damage as the shadow knocked him away with its large arms.

"Give me all your food" he said only for Nagoda to shrug.

"I don't have anymore" Nagoda said rushing forward to fight again only for the shadow to jump away.

"If you don't have any food then I'm leaving" it said hoping away from building to building.

"Come back here" Nagoda said watching the shadow jump away and suck up a crate of oranges causing another cry of despair to sound out. Looking towards the children and their father, Nagoda noticed as more darkness flew off their bodies entering the barrier around the town. Nagoda then saw a nearby fishing shop and a river behind it.

"Don't worry, I know how to fish so you guys can eat if we catch anything" Nagoda said hopping into the destroyed door of the building before leaving with four poles and some bait to fish with.

With the others, they managed to find each other at the edge of town. "Where's Nagoda?" Cynthia asked as she looked around as Nicola was staring innocently into the air while whistling. Tristan then shook his head while sighing.

"What happened" he asked as Nicola explained what had happened.

"So what your saying is you hit him with your car" Sora said before smacking her in the back of the head. As she fell over, a peach fell out of her clothing prompting a crowd of people to gather.

"Please feed us" they shouted as darkness flew off them in rivers before they began to fight.

"ALL OF YOU QUIET!" Cynthia shouted causing the people to stop. "Now what's going on with this town" she said as the mayor walked out of the crowd on a cane.

"A monster appeared and ate all our food starving us, our best huntsman disappeared one night and the rest have been hospitalized by the monster" he said as laughing sounded out causing the townspeople to panic and run to shelters with the mayor following. A single crow landed on a lamppost and watched as bucket shadow appeared.

"I smell food" he said going to grab the peach only for Nicola to get to it first. She then tossed it into the air before tripping the kaijin.

"You don't steal food from people" she shouted getting into position with the others following suit. "If we don't defeat you, then Nagoda will for this outrage" she said as they began transforming.

Henshin Itashimasu, please stand behind the white line.

"ToQ Change". Hey then began to transform with bucket shadow still following the peach with his eyes.

ToQ Nigo, Sango, Yongo, Gogo

"Let's get him" Nicola shouted rushing forward with her sword as Tristan tried and failed to stop her. She then went to slash at the shadow only for her to hit the peach on accident as it fell down slicing it in half. "MY PEACH" she shouted as bucket shadow opened his mouth causing the peach slices to be sucked towards his mouth. "It's mine" Nicola said grabbing both halves and rolling away while the others fired into the shadows mouth.

"OW, don't shoot people in the mouth when their eating its rude" the kaijin said as he tripped Nicola and grabbed he peaches. He then ate them and jumped onto a roof top. "I smell fish!" He shouted as he jumped away only for Nicola to grab him causing her to be dragged along with him.

"Wait for us" they cried out running after the two gluttons. As they chased after, they too began smelling fish being cooked in the air and ran towards it. As the bucket shadow landed with Nicola falling off a couple feet behind him, he was pulled up by a snare net trapping him.

"What is this, let me out and feed me" he said to Nagoda who was cooking four semi large fish. He then passed one to the man and his children before getting one himself.

"Nope, now we get to eat in front of you" he said biteing into the fish while taunting the shadow. He then finished eating the fish and tossed the bones in front of the cryjng shadow. "That is for starving people, you don't take food from the hungry" he said as Nicola appeared agreeing with him.

Just as the rest of the ToQGers appeared not transformed, bucket shadow growled out before screaming as he sliced through the net holding him. He then angrily smashed the bones in front of him in rage as he focused on Nagoda. "I'll kill you for that" he said charging forward as they all prepared their brace.

Henshin Itashimasu, please stand behind the white line.

As the brace called this out, the white lines smacked the bucket shadow away into the air before he landed back near the fish bones. "ToQ Change" they said together this time as their ressha flew around them.

ToQ Ichigo, Nigo, Sango, Yongo, Gogo.

"Victorious Imagination, Ressha Sentai ToQGer" they shouted in a pose like a train as the shadow and the people who ran to the fishing shop watched on. "Shuppatsu Shinko!"

They then ran forth like a train before each of them separated with a slash to bucket shadows face. The shadow then opened its mouthy I attack prompting Sora to shove his Tunnel Axe into the mouth with the blades holding the mouth open. "HAAAAAAAAAHH" Cynthia screamed slamming the signal hammer onto its mouth closing it on the blades of the tunnel axe as sparks flew off while Sora yanked it out dealing large amounts of damage to the shadow as it cried out in pain.

"That hurt" it shouted going to slam its fist into Sora only for Nicola and Nagoda to slash away his arm.

"Renketsu Bazooka" Nicola said as they combined their weapons while Nagoda pulled out the imagination ressha. "Food Avalanche" she said as they fired the train which disappeared. Then on top of the shadow dropped a mountain of exploding food.

"Too much food" he said falling over as he exploded.

"Yeah, we got him" they celebrated as the townspeople cheered on in happiness of the defeat of this food plaguing monster. It was then that the darkness surrounding the town began to be absorbed by the flaming remains do the shadow causing him to revive and become a giant.

"More food" he said as he groggily stood up from his revival from the darkness he had absorbed.

"Ressha Gattai"

Red Ressha, Blue Ressha, Yellow Ressha, Green Ressha, Pink Ressha.

As the ressha formed together, inside the pink ressha was currently unofficial team RWBY. "What's going on" Weiss asked as the ressha slowly moved upwards causing them to fall sideways down the train with yang waking up by hitting her face on a pole.

"What are you doing here" ticket shouted at the four students who were currently hanging onto poles as to not fall down into the doorway to the other carts. "This isn't a stabilizing platform, here grab hold and don't let go" he said as a bright rope wrapped around the girls as they were transported to the conductors cabin.

"Now if you four don't mind, Thank you for riding, ToQ-Oh is complete". "All aboard, ToQ-Oh".

Once inside the conductors cabin, they had a large screen showing the battle from within the giant mech. ToQ-Oh then began moving forward on its rails only for bucket shadow to move forth. "If there's no food then I'll eat you all" he said hitting ToQ-Oh trapping its left arm.

"ToQ Slash" Nagoda said slashing the shadow at close range doing not much damage as the attack wasn't fully charged but it was enough to release his grip on the arm of ToQ-Oh. They then dodged under an arm before slashing the shadow from behind and kicking him away. "Fumikiriken" they said as two rail crossing pokes blocked in the shade as ressha a flew by. Soon came ToQ-Oh as it sliced through the ever hungry shadow Kaijin. As ToQ-Oh deformed, a large bite mark was in the side of one of the carts of the pink ressha where Ruby and the others were hiding.

"It's a good thing I moved you four to the cub doctors room or you would have been bitten with the cart" Ticket said as Nicola and the others entered.

"Hey it's Ruby and her friends!" Nagoda said as he ran up as he and Nicola began to question what they were doing on the ressha. As they were returning, they barely noticed as the same crow from earlier had gone faster then the trains towards beacon. When they returned to the station, they were met by Professor Ozpin and Glynda.

"Hello professors" Ruby said quietly with Glynda staring intently at them as if thinking of punishments.

"Good evening you four, it seems you are just in time to get to the initiation but first we need to talk about your punishments for sneaking out onto a dangerous mission" he said with Clockwork agreeing as he appeared. "These two are the managers of this station so after the initiation, you will be cleaning up the place for about a week" clockwork stated sipping its mug as they all groaned in protest.

"Is that an invitation for another week of cleaning I hear?" Glynda said as the four students raced off to the cliffs to take the initiation. "We can't protect them forever" Glynda said watching the four potential students running off segueing before turning to the five people leaving the trains.

"I know, that's why we are here though, to train them up to fight their battles" he said as they left the station to check on the initiation.

A/N : This chapter is finished. I got a cold on the weekend after a field trip leading to some painful headaches. I would like to thank brave kid for the support for me being sick and for not updating on time so thank you.
