Random Trivia: Before creating the other seven, Lux became the first Rider, wielding the Crown of the Riders. The Crown of the Riders grants the user telekinesis and telepathy.
Onyx and Red sat at a table talking about things.
"Hey, Red." Onyx calls.
"Yeah." Red answers.
"You and Gamboge don't have a good relationship." Onyx states, "So how did you even get him to hire you?"
"You ever heard of Duck Dynasty?" Red asks.
"No." Onyx answers.
"If you have an enemy, buy him this game," Red says, "sit him in a chair, tie him the fuck up, and force him to play it."
Red has a huge fake smile on his face as he pretends to be happy.
"It might scrabble his brain so much, that in the end he could turn into your best friend for life, simply for you turning it off for him." Red says.
Red pats his chests with both hands.
"Red Mordant, let no one say he didn't try to bring people together." Red says.
Red face immediately loses his fake smile and becomes one of unforgiving rage.
"Fuck Duck Dynasty the video game!" Red yells.
-Present Day-
Onyx teleports off the FAC Requiem and watches as it remains hovering. Onyx switches to Lightning Dust and fires a beam at the FAC Requiem. The beam completely engulfs the airship, disintegrating it. Onyx stops firing and head back to Beacon.
"Umbra wants the eight Relics of the Riders, that makes anyone who possesses one a target." Onyx states.
"How do we find them?" Ruby asks.
"The relics are linked. The Shard will lead me to the others. It can find the other seven, but not identify them." Onyx says.
"How far is the closest one?" Ruby asks.
"I'm not going to the closest one." Onyx states.
"Why?" Yang asks.
"I'm going to the group that are closest together." Onyx answers.
"That doesn't answer the question." Weiss states.
"That group is where Umbra will be. Chances are one of them will be the one Umbra seeks, if he hasn't claimed it already." Onyx explains.
Onyx begins to meditate with the Shard of the Riders floating in front of his face.
"Found him." Onyx says.
Onyx opens a portal and walks through it.
Onyx exits at the entrance to a large underground temple made from Grimm bones. Onyx enters the temple and uses a small aura ball for light.
"The others scatter like embers over sand. And yet Lux's champion is unmoved." Umbra says, "The Relics of the Riders make the weilders unbeatable, Rider. But only I am it's master."
Umbra's voice oddly echoes, as if Umbra is directly speaking into Onyx's mind.
"Silicon, where's this coming from?" Onyx asks over the Com.
"Where's what coming from?" Silicon asks.
"Umbra's voice." Onyx explains.
"I'm not picking up anything, Onyx." Silicon states.
"He's there. Keep trying." Onyx orders.
Onyx enters a room filled with Shadow Grimm. Onyx creates two shortsword blades, but doesn't remove his weapons. Onyx slashes the Grimm down, one by one, until a Shadowstalker is all that remains. The Shadowstalker strikes with it's tail. Onyx dashes backwards and cuts the stinger off in the process. Onyx then dashes forward stabbing the Shadow Grimm in the head as he lengthens the blade to completely impale the Shadow Grimm.
"Your actions tread between honor and foolishness." Umbra says.
"Silicon, are you hearing him?" Onyx asks over the Com.
"No. Umbra?" Silicon says.
Onyx continues to walk further into the temple.
"You are a fool. Even now, mankind tinkers with the relics in the shadow of the largest kingdom. Children and fire, who disregard the welfare of the world." Umbra says.
Onyx enters a shrine similar to the one where he found Light. In the center is the Amulet of the Riders. Like the key, it is made from Grimm bones and has a crimson string connected to it. The center of the Amulet has a jewel that looks similar to the Shard of the Riders. Umbra stands in front of the Amulet.
"The Amulet of the Riders, beautiful isn't it..., Rider" Umbra says as he turns face the new arrival.
Onyx fires two blasts at Umbra. They hit an invisible barrier, the only sign of it's existence is the small crimson ripples that form at the point of impact.
"Do you truly believe these theatrics can prevent my departure? Embrace your sad fate and retain your nobility - I am already beyond you." Umbra says.
Onyx switches to Fire and Lightning Dust. Onyx fires two beams at Umbra
"You will relent, Rider, or you will perish! All in life is choice. And your day to choose... has come." Umbra states.
Onyx creates two Shortsword blades and dashes at Onyx. Umbra grabs the Amulet of the Riders in his left hand and holds his right hand towards Onyx. Onyx is frozen in place.
"Your choice has been made." Umbra states.
Umbra holds the Amulet in front of Onyx's eyes and the jewel in the center lights up, the bright light fills Onyx's vision.
When the going gets tough, the tough go riding.
