Random Trivia: The Book of the Riders was wielded by Trion, the third Rider. The Book of the Riders grants the wielder the ability to rewrite history. The user can only travel back in time to a point when he/she existed, in which they will enter their past self's body with all the knowledge they possessed before the time travel. The original Legend of the Riders was written in this book.


Onyx and Red sit on a bench near an alleyway while in the Shadow Zone.

"You remember the plan?" Red asks.

"Yes." Onyx answers.

Onyx opens a portal inside the alleyway and Red uses it to leave the Shadow Zone. A man exits a store nearby. Red walks out of the alleyway and towards the man. The man, while looking down at a small box, walks in the direction Red is approaching him from.

"Oh right! Umbrella Co..." The man says as he is punched in the face by Red.

Red breaks into a sprint, still going in the same direction.

"Oh! Fuck! Ow! Fuck! Ah...! Ah! Ow! Come the fucking on...!" The man cries on the ground.

Onyx opens an portal in front of Red, and they regroup at the bench.

"You got it?" Red asks.

Onyx holds up lien cards and hands them to Red.

"Good job." Red says.

"What the fuck was that?" The man says as he rises to his feet, hands covering his face, "What the fuck just hit me? Ow! My eye."

The man begins to feel up his jacket.

"Where's my wallet!? The wallet...! What the fuck...?" The man panicks.

He find his wallet and opens it.

"He took my money! How'd he take my money so quick!? He just punched me and he took my money!" The man panicks, "My seven lien!"

The man looks down at the box he was carrying.

"And he left the game!" The man states as he picks up the box, "He left the fucking game! What!? Why would you take my money and not take the game...!?"

The man begins to leave the street.

"Well at least I got a game to play." The man says, "What the fuck?"


-Present Day-

Onyx appears in front of Umbra, who is seated is standing in another shrine. In the center of the shrine is the Ring of the Riders. It is a ring made of Grimm bones with a crimson jewel as the face. Umbra grabs the ring and puts it on.

"So you have broken the illusion." Umbra says.

Onyx creates two shortsword blades and charges at Umbra. Onyx swings with his right blade, but Umbra grabs it.

"You are outmatched." Umbra says.

Umbra punches Onyx in the stomach and throws him across the shrine.

"I wasn't trying to beat you." Onyx says as he rises to his feet.

Onyx holds the Shard of the Riders up for Umbra to see.

"I used to be a thief," Onyx states, "And a pretty good one."

Umbra growls, then puts on the Ring of the Riders.

"You think you know your power?" Umbra taunts.

Onyx stays silent.

"You don't even know your semblance." Umbra states.

"And you do?" Onyx asks.

"The flames." Umbra says.

"That's Flame's sem..." Onyx begins.

Umbra's never seen me use Flame's semblance.

The crimson flames.

Onyx closes his eyes and when he opens them his eyes and hair are burning black flames with a crimson glow.

"Yes, Rider." Umbra says, "That's your semblance. It drains your aura to increase your power. Everything from speed, strength, stamina, defense, reaction time, and so on. It has three levels and you've only use the second one once."

My battle with Night.

"Why are you telling me this?" Onyx asks.

"Because no matter how strong you are, you will never beat me." Umbra states, "I am your superior."

"Then prove it." Onyx says.

"Are you a fool?" Umbra asks.

"You remove your relics and I remove mine." Onyx says.

"You impress me, Rider. Your singular valor will be preserved and studied, once your Transformation is complete." Umbra responds. Umbra opens a portal and throws his relics through as Onyx does the same. Umbra begins to shrink down to around seven feet.

"Your going to wish you stayed in your prison." Onyx threatens.

"You have no idea how wrong you are." Umbra says.

The two combatants stare at one another, Onyx in a combat stance and Umbra standing straight up. Umbra narrows his vision. Onyx charges at Umbra and goes for a right hook, followed by a left hook, another right hook, and a spin kick. Umbra effortlessly dodges all of them and catches Onyx's leg for the second kick he tries to perform. Umbra then tosses Onyx across the shrine. Onyx recovers, glares at Umbra, and tries to kick him, followed by a right hook, and left hook. Umbra blocks them, but is hit by a right hook. Onyx tries to kick Umbra, but he grabs Onyx's foot, pulls him closer and tackles him with his arm. On the ground, Onyx kicks Umbra with each leg before rising to his feet and charging again. Onyx goes for a right hook, then left hook, followed by a kick. Umbra blocks them all. Onyx jumps over Umbra, who swings his arm at him while turning around. Onyx catches Umbra's arm and spins him, only for Umbra to pull out of Onyx's grip and kick him away. Umbra then kicks Onyx in the face, before trying to hit Onyx with a roundhouse kick. Onyx dodges and gains some distance while the kick destroys one of the shrine pillars. Onyx shoots at Umbra, but he sidesteps and waves his hand to pull Onyx towards him. Umbra then throws Onyx into the pillar opposing the one he destroyed earlier. Onyx hits the pillar then the ground, groaning in pain.

Onyx looks up at Umbra, who is about to knee him. Onyx dodges, letting Umbra destroy another pillar. Umbra kicks at Onyx, misses, and swings his still extended leg backwards to try to hit him again. Onyx dodges, but is hit when Umbra brings his leg back forward. Umbra grabs Onyx and throws him into another pillar. Umbra kicks Onyx back into the pillar when he tries to move. Umbra goes for a right and left hook to Onyx upper body, but is blocked. So he goes for a right jab, in the lower abdomen. Onyx loses his guard due to the successful strike and swings around Umbra, grabbing him into a full nelson. Umbra runs up the pillar and throws Onyx as he backflips off of it. Onyx lands on his hands and forces himself forward into a flip, being hit from a kick to the side when he lands. The kick sends Onyx across the floor as Umbra walks towards him. Onyx gets up and into a stance, but is hit by a right jab, then a left hook, followed by a clap. Umbra grabs Onyx's neck, choking him.

"You do not disappoint, Rider." Umbra says

Umbra grabs Onyx with his other hand and lifts him over his head. Umbra then throws Onyx into a pillar, shattering it. Onyx is on the ground and remains motionless, his flames extinguished, both literally and figuratively.

"You are a worthy opponent." Umbra says.

A Shadowolf walks up to Onyx and raises it's claw.

"No." Umbra the says, "I have other plans for him."

The Shadowolf bows and leaves.

"You intrigue me, Rider." Umbra states, "A warrior of your talent and skill I haven't come across in millennium. Yet you rely on toys to protect you."

Umbra opens a portal and leaves himself.


Onyx wakes up and rises to his feet. He opens a portal and grabs the Shard of the Riders. Onyx meditates with the Shard.

I wonder?

Onyx activates his semblance to see if it amplified his senses. He was able to sense the location of all the relics and identify them. Onyx senses the Armor, Cloak, Ring, Amulet, and Key of the Riders in the same area. Onyx opens a portal and runs through.
