Previous:

Tyrian Magnum is a typical teenager from planet Earth. A strange game cartridge sent him to the world of Remnant, where he almost killed by the monster called 'Grimm.' A two Huntsman saved him from death, but they attacked by strange creatures. Tyrian transformed into a Masked Rider to protect himself and both Huntsman against the computer virus, the Bugster.


'Note to myself. Never again drunk with Grun. Never … again.'

I was waking up in the world of pain, something very rare for me. All my senses were relying on pain, and this was so weird. I thought all this talking about that level of pain wasn't true, so I can't believe anybody can survive something like that. But at this very moment, I want to die. Honestly, I want to die. My eyes stung, my ears rang, inhaling through my nose caused pain, every inch of my body ached and my head pounding. Also, I could swear my stomach want a return breakfast. 'How much did we drink?' Groaning softly, I opened my eyes. First, everything was a blur, but I blinked few times and saw something very strange.

A pair of silver eyes looked at me. 'Wait a minute ... SILVER EYES?! What the hell?!'

After the first shock, I notice a pair of silver eyes belongs to the girl with very dark brown hair that was cut short, stylized to look a bit wild but still neat enough and longer on the right side of her face. Her hair fades to red as it gets closer to the edges. She had pale white skin that emphasizes her hair color. She wearing a black blouse and skirt that have both have red trimmings, black leggings, and black boots with red laces and soles. Along with that was a black corset with red strings, a dark gray belt, and a red hooded cloak. "Yang! He was waking up!" she said, turning her head left. I want to be sat up, but my body gave me straight signal 'Don't even think about it, moron!', So I groaned in pain. The girl turned to head to me "Don't move."

"Coming!" I heard another famine voice, so I turned my head. To the room walked a girl at that same age as me with long blond hair, pale complexion, and lilac eyes. She was wearing a tan vest with gold piping over a yellow, low-cut crop top with a black crest that resembles a red heart. The vest has puffy cap sleeves with black cuffs. On the sides of the cuffs, there are two small, golden buttons. She also wears a brown belt with a buckle, a pouch, small banner-like object, black shorts under her belt, which resembles a pleated skirt in the back. Over the short shorts but under the belt is a white, asymmetrical back skirt. Aside from an orange infinity scarf around her neck, she has no discernible jewelry. She wears brown, knee-high platform boots that appear to be made of leather, with orange socks of different lengths. Her left leg also has a gray, bandana-like object wrapped around the top of her boot. Her long blonde hair becomes lighter in color at the tips and flows in a loose and messy manner, with a few locks sticking out and a small cowlick on top of her head. She holds a mug on her hands "Good morning Sleeping Beauty. How are you feeling?"

"Kill me." I muttered, turning my head to silver eyes girl "Just kill me. Every inch of my body, my head … what the hell did I drink last night?" Blonde girl giggled, before sat on the chair next to the place where my body laid and gave me a mug "What is that?"

"This should help you." she said, before turned to the first girl "Go and bring the bucket. Fast."

A silver eyes girl blinked "Why?" she asked, when I looked at the mug before drank it. Warm, nice, maybe a taste was little bad, but I didn't compare … ugh, my stomach.

"Ruby, go. He will-" Yang girl stopped, seeing my reaction "Fast!" a silver eyes girl looked at me before she disappeared in petals in the rose. What the hell?! How did she this?! "Just hang a while."

"My stomach is spinning like ..." I muttered before is started. I covered my mouth, but before I blinked a silver eyes girl back with a blue bucket. She gave me that, so I puked on it.

"Gross," she said, "What did you give him?"

The blonde girl shrugged "I don't know. Dad said clearly when our guest will wake up, give him this and bucket." she added, "He has a weird sense of humor."

"Yeah." a girl nodded "Maybe I call him or uncle?" a blonde girl shook her head, so a silver eyes girl leave the room.

A moment later, my breakfast was in the bucket "Man, so this is a hangover?" I asked myself. Blonde chuckled softly "Thanks for that, but never again. Never freaking again I will drink that."

"But are you feeling a better?" she asked. I still felt pain, but it was smaller. I didn't know what she gave me, but it worked. "When dad and uncle bring you to home, you looked like shit."

"That stupid idiot and his great ideas." I took a breath and place bucket on the floor "Only my head pounding, but I can handle this." I pushed myself to sat up on the couch. "How long have I been asleep?"

"Two days."


Huntsman Gamer vol. 1


Stage 01- 02: Ex-Aid Joins the Battle!

"Two days," she said. I looked at her confused "You slept two days. Thank Oum, you don't need a kiss to wake up." a blonde joked. Sleeping Beauty, that why she called me that. But two days? Heck, I like to sleep, but two days even for me is too long. "Dad want took you to the hospital, but uncle said 'no' for some reason."

"Two days," I repeated, looking at my hands. It was glowing "W-what?" What is going on? Why my hand glowing at pink?! Why I slept two days?! Why her uncle didn't take me to the hospital? 'You are from another world, idiot.' My brain reminded me. Oh yeah …. wait, what?! That mean only one thing. "No way, it can't be true" I whispered to myself.

"You Aura is still transforming." I heard another voice. More, more familiar. I turned my head and saw Qrow.

'This wasn't a dream' I thought when he walked to me and the blonde girl. He holds my bag, probably with Driver and Gashat. 'Holy cannoli, I really transformed that night.' Masked Rider, Grimm, Bugster Virus. I should call M, he owns me an explanation.

Blonde girl turned to Qrow "What's now?"

"I will talk with him. You can help Ruby." she muttered something "Yang."

"Yeah yeah." she stood up "See you later, Sleeping Beauty." Blondie winked at me and walked out from the room. Huh?

"Don't even think about this." Qrow hissed and glared me. I felt a cold chill on my spine "One stupid move, and I will personally kill you. Do you understand?"

I gulped "Yes sir." He sat on the chair and opened a bag. As I thought, Gamer Driver, Mighty Action X Gashat and Scroll were in the bag "This really wasn't dream."

"Dream? You really transformed." Qrow said and pull out a Gamer Driver, Gashat and strange device on the table "Could you explain me …?"

"How did I transform into a masked armored guy?" I interrupted him "I am very sorry, but I don't know."

"Don't lie to me, boy" he frowned "You don't know?"

"I am saying a truth Mister Qrow. That night, when you and mister Taiyang were fighting with that orange heads, I want help you two, and I was pretty sure Driver can summon a warrior to fight with that Viruses. But you saw what happened."

Qrow looked at me suspicious "Why you?" he asked, "I tried to put the Driver on my waist, but belt didn't show."

I shrugged "Only a genius gamer can use Gamer Driver and Rider Gashat, so I must be one of this genius gamer." He sighed "If you want to ask about the orange head, I only know two things. First, their names are the Bugster. Second, they are some kind of computer virus and Hunstman weapons are useless."

"That why Tai and I can't beat them." Qrow muttered "Last question for now. You aren't from this world, do you?"

I blinked surprise. How did he know? "Why you ..."

"You didn't know about Grimm, you hadn't activated Aura, you didn't know where are you been. And also" he pulled out from the bag my smartphone "I found this and checked it. One sticker said more than a thousand words."

"Made in China?"

Qrow chuckled "So you are a smart one."

"No, in my world almost everything is made in China. It is a big country with cheap labor." I said, "Mister Qrow, I have the question."

He glanced me "Yes?"

"What are you do with me? I mean, I from another world and ..."

He held his hand to stop. "Stop. Tai and I talked about it. You can stay here for now, but one rule. Don't even think to do something stupid. You know what I mean." I nodded. "Good boy. Now, I must meet me friend and tell him about you." he stood up "Oh, and prepare yourself."

"For what?"

Qrow smirked "If you want to survive in this world, you need to learn how to fight. Good night Tyrian." he walked out. I blinked surprise. Training? No way, my body is in terrible shape and need to regeneration. Geez, this is bad. Also, I am not the type of warrior. Maybe I know how to use fists, but fighting against Bugster Viruses or that 'Grimm' is the last thing I want to do.

"But first" I took the communicator device from the table. "I will call it an X-Fire." Time to call to M, maybe he will give me idea what to do. Looking at the screen, I noticed the last words I want to see 'Out of the range.' "You must be kidding me," I muttered, put the X-Fire to bag and took Driver from the table. Still hard to believe. Me, Tyrian Magnum, an ordinary guy from Earth, transformed into armored warrior named a Masked Rider. "Masked Rider," I repeated because I heard somewhere that name. "Whatever" Scroll vibrated. It seemed to be activated. I placed Driver on the table and took Scroll 'Maybe Qrow turned it on?' Also, this device looked really like some concept of a future tablet, but it had very familiar application. Call, Message, various Apps … wait a moment "Huh?" I asked myself. One of the app's icon looked like a cover from Driver's screen. 'G.D.'

"Could be?" I pressed the App's icon. 'Gamer Driver Software.' No way. I blinked surprised when app started searching. I stare the Driver on the table, before looked screen again. App connected with Driver and want me to sign in. "Maybe I find some answers," I said and registered. 'Your nickname' Mighty? Nah, that sound stupid. Maybe X? Dump. Oh I know, I use my tag from the IRC. "Ex-Aid" I tapped and pressed 'Okay.' To my surprised, that was all. No passwords, no my real name or something. Only nickname. Weird.

*GURGLE*

"Ugh," I grumbled, looking at my stomach in irritation. The savage growling in my stomach reminded me that I hadn't had anything to eat since the two days and moment ago I returned my breakfast. "Maybe that girls give me something to eat." Dragging myself to my feet, I decided to go to the kitchen. I headed to the door and managed to open it before slipping out into the hallway. But something touched me "Huh?" I looked down and saw a dog. He or she was a Black-headed tricolor Pembroke Corgi with gray eyes. "Hey, buddy." I kneeled on my right leg and gave him/her hand. The dog sniffed my hand few times, before bark so I patted him/her. "Good Dog."

"Oh, you meet Zwei." a silver eyes girl voice forced me to lift up my head. She was stood few steps away, holding a few plates.

"Zwei, huh?" I repeated, one more time patted dog "You have a lovely name, buddy." He barked when I stood up "Maybe I can help you?"

She smiled "Sure. Here." she said and gave me plates "Yang is waiting in the kitchen." silver eyes added, before turned and walked to the another room. Great, I have plates, but don't know where to go.

"Ruby where are you?" someone shouted. Well, this is my clue. I headed to place from where the voice came. As I thought, in the room was a blonde girl "Oh, Sleeping Beauty." she said with a grin. I chuckled and placed plates on the table "Thank you. How are you feeling?" When my stomach gurgles again, she laughed "someone is hungry."

"After two days I can eat a horse." I said, "Umm, Mister Qrow is still here?"

Blonde shook her head "No." Crap. I want to tell him about that strange app in the Scroll. Something tells me, it is a key to understanding how Driver work. "But dad should back soon. He wants also talk with you."

'Dad?' I thought. Yes, when she told silver eyes about that drink, she mentioned dad ordered to give me that. And she looked very familiar to mister Taiyang. 'That same hair color, skin complexion. Could be?' To the room walked a silver eyes girl. She also was familiar to Taiyang and blonde, but she has black hair and that silver eyes "About what?"

The blonde girl shrugged "I don't know. He and uncle were very enigmatic about where they found you, Sleeping Beauty." So girls didn't know about the Driver and Gashat.

I rubbed back of my head "Well, I think I should introduce myself. Name is Tyrian Magnum." I said to both girls.

"I am Yang." a Blondie said, "And this is my younger sister, Ruby."

"I can talk myself, sis!" Ruby huffed. Yang giggled, before ruffled her head "Stop! Yang!"

On my face appeared grin "Nice to meet you, Yang and Ruby."


'Holy shit.'

This was my first thought when I saw a city. "Welcome to Vale, Tyrian," Yang said when we leave Bullhead out. She and Ruby took me to the central city this 'Kingdom of Vale' and give a tour. That nice of they, but I had another plan. Find M's hideout, get some answers and try localize Grun's current location. I'm one hundred percent sure, he is somewhere here.

After my arrived here, few days passed. M was out of the range. Girls helped me a lot when their dad – Taiyang – and Qrow slowly prepared me for something called 'Hellday.' That sounds bad, but now I haven't a better option. Another dimension and this stupid stuff. "So this is Vale, huh?" I said, looking around. This was more futuristic that I thought. Patch is the island, more familiar to a small town than the big city and well, I am all my live life in the big city. But still, Vale was something awesome. 'How many people live here?' I asked in thought. "So, you want to give me a trip ..."

Ruby nodded "Yeah." she looked at her sister "Where's now?"

Yang shrugged "I don't know. It was your idea." I chuckled "But I think we should go to the shopping. Uncle said you will start tomorrow a real training." a sly grin appeared on her face "And sparring fight with me, so you should look nice when I kick your ass."

I chuckled and waved off "We'll see tomorrow, Firecracker." Yang smirked when Ruby rolled her eyes and start walks "And where are you going?"

"You'll see," she said. I looked at Yang, but she followed her younger sister. "Come on, Sleeping Beauty."

I sighed and followed both girls "Sleeping Beauty. And I complained when Grun started name me a Fartass." both girls laughed when they heard my nickname "Yeah, yeah. Funny, I know."

"Fartass? Really?"Blondie asked, "Why?"

"From the video game. I call Grun Sir Douchebag when he uses Fartass." I rubbed back of my head "Heh, sometimes I missed my previous nickname."

"Oh?" Yang turned her head to me "How he called you?"

I smirked "Red." both girls looked at me confuse "Oh come on! You never heard about Pokemon?!"

"Poke-what?" they asked at that same moment. I groaned, before realized they can't hear about Pokemon, because it was released only in my world. Crap.

"Sweet Lord Helix, it will be a long way" I chuckled, before started explaining girls about a game. A mechanic from the first generation to six, pocket monster and their evolution across twenty years, storyline of each game and internet phoneme named Twitch Plays Pokemon with all 'Lord Helix and False Jesus' stuff. "... and that why double battles are the primary format in the official tournaments. Smogon nerds ban everything if they can't beat that."

Ruby has stars in her eyes "You have a copy?" she asked, her face showing a competitive side.

"Sorry, but no," I said half truth. I had Emerald, FireRed, Platinium, HeartGold and Black ROMs with emulators on my dead smartphone. "But if I will repair my console, you will be the first person who can play all games I have. Deal?"

"Deal!" Ruby exclaimed, so I smiled. Yang chuckled "Oh, but I have a question. Why Grun called you Red? Red is a Pokemon Master, right?"

"Red is a legend." I smirked "You see, he called me Red because I won almost every time when we played, like Red in the first game. He was like Blue, always a step before me, but lose every time. Heck, he first bought a Pokemon Red, when I only can imagine about Gameboy." we were in a massive shopping center. "Okay, what's now?"

Yang grinned before she catches my arm "Shopping time" she drag me to somewhere.


The woman entered the President's office with a few documents on her hand. Her boss was sitting on his desk and playing on the handheld console. Blondie hair woman stops next to desk her boss and wait when he ends the game 'When he finally grow up' she sighed.

"Game Clear!" a device informed, so president smirked.

"And this you can call a good reboot. I must give guys a bonus payment." The Woman coughed, so he noticed her "Umm, you don't see anything, right?"

"Of course. I didn't see you play on not release game, Mister Dan." she mocked him a little, before gave him files "Final rapport about zero one, now know as an 'Ex-Aid.' Stupid name if you ask me."

"A little, but always he can call himself a Mighty" Dan said, reading a rapport "Interesting. I supposed he and Mighty are synchronized, but not on this level. He is really a Genius Gamer like you know who."

Women nodded, before gave boss next file "Yes. Our R&D Department also was surprised when they saw results. And this is what about the boy I can find in the database."

President took a document "It isn't too much, miss Twanny."

"I'm sorry, but ..."

"But?"

"Something is wrong." she said "Like this boy didn't exist before his first transformation. First I thought that was a mistake, but I asked my friend from Atlas and Mistral to check their database. Any records."

The man had raised his brow before he realized something "Oh, so they made a move." He smiled and put file through to the shredder "After that years, they finally made a move." president stood up and walked to the window "Miss Twanny, please contact with our friend and send him all file."

The woman nodded "Of course." she took a file from a desk "Oh, and one more thing."

The man turned his head to her "Yes?"

She took a handheld console from the desk "I will take this. You have a job to do, CEO." She smirked demonically as President groaned. "With lawyers."


Why me? Why?!

If I knew what happened in Hellday, I ran away before it began, but no, nobody told me. It was a nightmare from someone who the only train to be a good shape. From sunrise to sunset I was in motion. Running, squat, press-ups, obstacle course, fight with Yang, etc. Five days in a row.

Five days in real hell.

But right now, I have a bigger problem named Yang. Or I should say Yang's right hook. Last time when she punched me, I was unconscious from rest of the day. Praise Lord Helix, we fought before dinner, so her dad and uncle carry me to my room. But still, she has a strong right hook.

I dodged Yang strike under her left arm and try counterattack with my right punch, but she caught my fist. Oh boy, I know what she is playing, and this isn't good for me. When Yang heard my gulp, she smirked: "Stop." Taiyang said and rescue me from death. "Enough for today." Yang looked at her father little disappointed, but she released my fist. Xiao Long approached to us "Tyrian, you still make that same mistake."

I lowered my head and sighed "I know." Yang nudged me.

"Not bad. At the first time, I beat you in five seconds," Firecracker said with a grin on her face. I had frowned before Taiyang placed a hand on my shoulder.

"You need time. Yang was trained to be Huntress from years, you just begin to be ..." he stopped, realizing he can't tell the truth when Yang was nearby. She and Ruby still didn't know about my armor. "you know."

"Yeah," I muttered when Blonde brawler looked at me suspiciously. Sometimes I think she knows about my transformation that night and she only waits o moment to ask me about it. "But still, I need more training. Even it will be a Hellday."

Taiyang smiled "And this is a spirit." he said, before turned and started a walk to the home "Oh, and I talked with my friend. Tomorrow he delivered me your new weapon so you can begin training with Ruby."

My weapon. Well, when Ruby showed me her badass scythe-sniper rifle and her skills, I thought about my last battle. It is still placed to improve my ability and make me a better warrior, so I asked Mister Taiyang to help me a create a weapon familiar to Gaschacon Breaker. He asked his friend from Signal Academy to constructed me a hammer blade weapon with Dusk Chamber based on the blueprint of Gaschacon Breaker. M, who finally called me, sent me that. "Come on, dinner time," Yang said, snapping me from my thought. I looked at her and nodded before we walked toward home "Any plan for the evening?"

"Kick your ass in another game?" I mocked her. Firecracker frowned "You still owe me money from last time."

"If I know you are so good in fighting games I never bet with you." she muttered.

"Well, I am not good in that type of games. I am just a genius gamer." Yang rolled her eyes "Oh come on, don't be mad at me." I said with a grin on my face "This time you can select a game and stage."

She huffed "And you again win with me. Heck, you even beat Ruby." I shrugged "She spent almost all childhood on that game and she every time kicks my ass. No, I won't play with you anymore."

"Sure." I waved off "Now you say no, but when I will play with Ruby, you change your mind. Like always." I showed her my tongue. Yang glared me, but she didn't say anything. We in silent went to a dining room when Ruby was playing with Zwei "But if you asked ..." I broke a silence "... I have a plan go to the cinema and see that new movie. Wanna go?"

Yang giggled "Oh, you want to ask me for a date?" she mocked me, know what happened to me when her dad or uncle heard that. I gulped, so she laughs loudly.

I want to say something, but Taiyang came from the kitchen with the bowl. "Dinner is ready." he informed us, before saw my pale skin "Tyrian, what's wrong?"

"Umm. Noth ..."

"He just asks me if I want to go to the movie with him," Yang said, still teasing me. I gulped again, knowing what happened next. Please, Lord Helix, save me.

The old man glared me. I supposed he was picking a method to kill me "And me too." Ruby said. I looked at her. Why she said this?! She also wants to see how her father murders me?! "Right Tyrian?" I nodded, not sure what she is playing.

Xiao Long placed a bowl on the table, still glancing me "Okay." he said after a while "But return before ten o clock, am I clear?"

"Like the sun," I said. He smiled a little and back to the kitchen, so I sighed "Thanks, Ruby, you save my ass. Again."

Rose sat on the chair "No problem. We are friends, right?" With my nod, she smiled "And I want to go also in that movie. I heard that is awesome!"

I chuckled "But I didn't say a title ..." At this moment my brain realized something. "You both tricked me."

Yang patted my shoulder when Ruby grinned "You leave with us almost a month and don't learn?" she mocked me and sat on the chair. "You will buy ticket and popcorn because you take US on the date." a sly grin appeared on her face.

I sighed "Why me? Why Lord Helix?" Yang and Ruby laugh. I want sat, but something in my pocket started ringing. 'Not Scroll … X-Fire.' I thought, pulling out a device "Sorry girl, I must answer that." The girl nodded, so I went to my room "Yo."

"Yo, pro!" he greeted me. "What's up?"

"Nothing new. Helping in the home, spar with Yang and now I'm must go with both girls to the cinema."

M chuckled "They tricked you, did they?" After my nod, M sighed "That why I never try find a girl. I don't be like trick or manipulate. But find a positive, you maybe..."

"Forget. If I do something stupid, Qrow and Taiyang will kill me. And I want live and back to my world." M rolled his eyes "Okay, you get something?"

"Sorry, but no." he said, "I checked all Vale's CCTV, police records and hospital, but I didn't find your friend."

"Another kingdom?"

"You must wait. After that screw, we need time to regroup and stay in the shadow for now." M informed me "Prepare to battle."

"Whatever." I muttered "You don't tell me anything. Who are they, what is Bugster ..."

"I will tell you everything, but you must be patient." M said, "Trust me."

I frowned "How I should trust you? You even didn't tell me your name, only nickname. Give me one reason to believe you."

M sighed "Man, you are really impatient, but okay. Listen carefully, I shall say this only once. Bugster Virus are a new type of virus threatens our world. A computer virus from games directly infects the human or Faunus body and evolves. The virus keeps multiplying until finally, the Bugster takes over the infected body." he explained "There is one way to save a patient. Gamer Driver and Rider Gashat. It can be used to perform an operation to separate infected from the Bugster."

"Wait, so that thing was a human …?"

"No, no, no!" he shook his head "That thing are like henchman or grunts." he added "If you clear ten games you defeat Bugster and return to your world… probably."

I sighed "It's something."

He smirked "This is all for at today. Have a nice date!" he hang out.

'Computer virus infects a human and Faunus. And I thought Terminator plot was stupid.' I sighed, putting X-Fire to my pocket, before took Scroll for the nightstand. Time to reserved tickets.


Next day

Ruby was running on the corridor because she was late on next class "Ahh! Not again!" After Uncle Qrow forbids her to used Semblance to run another class, Ruby must organize her time. But this time she forgets, and when the bell rang, she realized she is late. "Faster Ruby, faster!" she motivated herself "Whoa!" Rose bumped into a man and fall on the ground. "Ouch." she rubbed her head "Sorry." Ruby looked at the person. The person was a young man in his early 20s. He had black hair, and his features were strictly blank. His outfit was claret pants, black t-shirt and claret wool coat with a green arm.

"Hmm." person said, glancing her "You will be perfect, little girl," he smirked before he pulls out a strange dark violet device looks like the gamepad, shooter, and chainsaw mixed with the gauntlet. The man spread an orange mist toward Ruby. Rose closed her eyes and coughed few times "Done." a man walked away, leave young Huntresses.

After a while, Ruby stopped coughing and open her eyes. "Where is he?" she asked to confuse. Rose stood up and ran to her class "Sorry." she walked to class, but in one moment Ruby felt weird. Everything started to spin "Ughhh."

"Miss Rose ..." that was last words Ruby had heard before she lost her concussion.


A new day brings new challenges like said my grandfather once or twice. Maybe it's true? Yesterday was a tough day, but today? Difficult to tell.

This day was strange for a different reason. The first funny thing was M. When I called him, he was nervous, like something bad happened. On my question what's wrong, he didn't answer and change a topic. Knowing M and his secrets, even I try forced him to talk, he never said me what happened.

The second strange thing was Ruby sudden ill. Yang called to me two hours ago. Ruby was lost consciousness in the school, and they took her to the hospital. It was weird because she was full of energy yesterday and ate five cookies bag on the movie. Her metabolism is pretty impressive.

I sat in a restaurant that sells desserts and wait for my two friends. She was discharged from the hospital with the order to stay in bed and don't force herself. But Ruby is Ruby and tomorrow she will training with Mister Qrow. But she isn't my younger sister, that Yang's worry. "Praise a lord," I muttered and took another bite of my desserts. It was splendid. 'Note to myself. When I find Grun, take him here.'

It had been an almost month since I have been in Vale. And still, I can't believe travel dimension are real. Thank Lord Helix and Saints Abby I didn't land in dimension when the Third Reich won a WW2 or something worse. Qrow, Taiyang, and girls explained me about Auras, Grimm, Semblances, Dust, and Schools. Well, it was a basic, but it's something. If I only knew earlier how to use Gamer Driver, maybe I defeated that Grimm or it killed me and destroyed the Driver.

But I was shocked when they told me about Faunus. They were similar to humans but also different to be classified as their own separate species. They had some sort of animal body part on them like a pair of ears or a tail. 'Darwin must spinning in his grave' That was my first thought. After that, I went to the Vale's library and read about the history of that species, because I had a strange feeling and after learning how humans treated a Faunus, I had right. New species used to be only allowed to live on the continent of Menagerie until the Faunus Rights Revolution. 'Faunus made their American or French Revolution' The conflict ended with Faunus finally allowed to go out to the rest of the world.

But this change nothing, because they are still not treated with the equality they deserve. This world, world of Remnant, aren't that different that my home. Full of stupid humans who treated another species like second-class citizens or animals, because they are different. This make fell me disgusted.

"Here you are," Yang said when she and her sister walked to my table. "Sorry for waiting."

"No problem." I looked at Ruby "You like shit Ruby."

Blonde Brawler looked at me "That was rude." I shrugged "Whatever. She got a prescription." Rose snooze "Could you …?"

"Give it and wait." Yang smiled slight "Ruby, next time you should wear a cap." I joked. Rose glared me, but something was wrong. Her eyes were different. And that devious smirk on her face for a second. 'Fishy.' I thought before walked toward the pharmacy store.


On the roof on of building under construction sat a boy and played on video game console. He looks like younger version of the boy who bumped into Ruby. He had violet pants, blue t-shirt, and black leather jacket.

"It's infected." a new voice accused a boy to turned his head. The person from Signal walked toward him "Very soon it will multiply into a new comrade."

"Hey, Graphite." The boy turned his head toward a city "Just thinking of a game being played on this wide field ..." his comrade walked to the edge of the building "... makes my heart skip a beat." the boy smiled. "Fate is really like a puzzle game."

Graphite chuckled "Are you okay with this, Parado?" Parado didn't answer, only smirked and back to his game.


I, Yang and Ruby walked toward Bullhead's pad. Rose got her medication, but she still looked bad. I am not the idiot, and I know, it isn't working immediately, but something was weird. When Blonde and I were all time talking about various stuff, joking and mocking each other, Ruby was silent. Yang and I tried to lift her mood, but she only stared at us. That was weird.

Yang looked at Ruby before whispered to me "It's your fault."

I blinked "W-what?"

"Because of you've bought her five bags. Five." Blonde said, "I told you ..."

"Come on. You two tricked me. And Ruby hasn't the gastric flu." Ruby stopped and turned to us "What's up?"

She started to trembling "Cold." Ruby muttered. "Very cold." she kneeled down and groaned. "Ughhh … my head."

I crouched opposite to her "Hey if you want I can take you on piggyback." She looked at me "Holy crap." Her eyes were empty. To my surprise, I saw orange things was slowly sprouting out from her neck "Don't tell me."

Yang ran to me "What's wrong?"

"I am not sure, but better call you dad," I said, reaching to my daypack with Driver 'No way. How she...' I even can't open a bag, because orange things transform to Bugster Viruses. One of they kicked and sent me flew back.

"Tyrian!" Blonde shouted when I backfield in the air and land. Bugster Viruses surrounded Ruby, and they acted like weird. Not attacking her or us, just wait. "What in the world ..."

"Bugster." I muttered "Crap, but how? How Ruby created them?"

"Wait, what?" Yang asked me shocked "What she did?"

"Later."

Yang frowned but nodded "Okay. Plan?"

"Your weapon is useless to their and if they infect you, game over." I explained, "So forget about punching or kicking." Standard weapon isn't effective on the Bugster Viruses, only my hammer. If Yang and Ruby saw my transformation, they want to know the truth. So what I should tell them? This is crazy even for me. But I am without options. Think Tyrian, think. "Wait. M!" I said before pull out the X-Fire Communicator.

"Who?" Yang asked

"My friend," I answered, calling to him. After few seconds he appeared on the screen "We have a situation."

"Don't tell me you ran into Bugster." I nodded, so he sighed "I told you, try to avoid their before..."

"Not now! They surround Ruby, and she acts straight."

M bit his lips "Crap, she must be infected with Virus. Can you check her?"

"No. We must fight with rest of orange freak. And I can't do you know what."

"Ohh." he nodded "Okay. So you need help." I nodded "You have Driver?"

"Yes." I showed him Gamer Driver.

"Good. Press it to the waist. When belt attached, you can summon Gaschacon Breaker and perform Critical Finish. But I recommend..." he stopped when he saw I pressed a Driver to my waist "You should read a manual."

"Playing a game without reading the manual is genius gamer style" I muttered. Time to think. 'Weapon' Around me appeared a hologram ring with one weapon, to I took it "Let … whoa!" To my surprise, the weapon was too heavy for me and fall on the ground. 'Of course. Armor must increase my strength, so I can even flick it. But now it's too heavy.' If only someone can help me … I'm the idiot. "Firecracker. I need your help." She turned to me "Hurry!" A blonde brawler looked at Bugster Viruses who surrounded her sister before approached to me. "Listen to me now and don't ask a question. We must lift up this hammer and slam when I say now."

"You can't raise it by yourself?"

"I said something about a question, but not, I can't. It's too heavy. You want to try?" she rolled her eyes before try to lift a hammer up. As I thought, she only lifted if a few centimeters above ground 'Together we should do this.' I figured and interested Mighty Action X Gashat.

KIWEZAMA!

When the face of hammer began erupting in colorful energy, I know it's work! "Up." I ordered, so we both lifted a hammer up and moved closer to Bugster "Here we goo! Now Yang!" I yelled, pulling a trigger.

MIGHTY CRITICAL FINISH!

We both smashed a hammer to the ground. A blue wave moved forward and when reached to Viruses, destroyed they, but also a recoil sent us flew back "Wheew." I sighed after a while before stood up. "Are you alright?"

Yang grimaced, so I help her got up "Yeah. What was that?"

"Something I still don't fully understand." she sighed, when I walked to Breaker and pull out a Gashat. "Now, let's check Ruby."

"Yeah." Yang nodded before looked at Driver on my waist "And you owe me an explanation." I waved off, but she had a right. I own her and Ruby what's going on. We knelt next to Ruby, and I scanned her by X-Fire Communicator, so the hologram showed up. Yang and I noticed a star flying next to Ruby "M, how is she?"

"I have good news and bad very news." he said, "Good news, she hasn't any major injured, maybe few scratches."

I nodded "And the very bad news?" Yang asked.

"It's too late." Huh? Before I asked, she stood up.

"You pest!" she said, before slapped a Yang. I was shocked "How dare you killed my precious henchmen?!"

"Ruby?" I asked, moving back. She acted like something took control of her. And I swore I saw something like a hologram for a second.

Rose pointed me "You are new Rider. Very well, prepare to be destroyed by fantastic Salty! Buhahaa!" she laughed, before her body change. She transformed into orange Rock Golem.

I catch Yang's arm and pull her away from a new monster. "Ruby!" she yelled shocked, worry and surprise, when I was stood and looked at strange an orange monster. No, this can't be true. Okay, Ruby was infected, but why she transformed something like that?!

"Tyrian." M said, so I looked at the screen "You must transform and fight."

"Are you insane? I am never harming Ruby!"

M closed his eyes and took a heavy breath "You must." he said, opening eyes. "If you do nothing, Bugster destroy half of Vale. I know, this is hard to you..."

"Are you hear yourself?!" I yelled, angry as hell "You want me to harm a little girl! Never!"

"She will die!" What? I was frozen when he said it. M glared me "Listen, all this time when we argue about harming Miss Rose, Bugster Virus is killing her. You must do something."

"But ..."

"Use a level one form. You can separate Virus from the host." M placed his hand on chest "I swear on my life, she will be okay. Just do it!"

I stood up and stare at Gashat when Yang looked at me confuse "Tyrian, what are you doing?"

I turned to head to her and smiled "You and your family help me. Your dad and uncle saved me from death. You and Ruby let me a helping hand. It's time to pay back my debts. I will help Ruby." I took a breath and throw her X Fire "I will change her fate!" I pressed the black button on Gashat.

MIGHTY ACTION X!

"Whoa!" Yang gasped when around us flew a few blocks. "It's like a game!"

"It's time to play the game!" I spin the shaft of the Gashat with my finger before I raised up my left arm with the item. Waiting for a second and then I inserted the cartridge in Primary Slot.

GASHATTO!

Around me appeared a hologram ring with six profile photo, before Mighty was automatic chose. "Transform!" Time to flip a lever … huh, why I can't flip it?

LET'S GAME! METCHA GAME! MUTCHA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME?!

"Huh?" I looked down. 'New form?' The undersuit was rather bulky giving me a mascot-like quality, with plain white armor covering up arms, shoulders, and legs. Chest plate was that same like in level two, and this weird big mask on my back became my new mask.

I AM MASKED RIDER!

"Heh?! This is level one form! You must be kidding M!"

"I told you. Level one form is little weird." M said "Listen. You can't level up if Glitch Bugster is in a game arena. Only this form can separate host from the virus. Ready?"

The golem spin its left fist "Let's do this!" I jumped on the fist when its landed on the ground. Bugster try hit me on the side attacked, but I ducked and backflip on its head. "Over here!" Monster swung his left fist, so I dodged by jumped from its head. It's hit himself and roar angry "Stupid idiot."

"Hey! That stupid idiot is my sister!" Yang yelled, but M chuckled. "What so funny?"

"Right now, your sister is possessed by the Bugster." M said to her and me, when I forward rolled under a Rock Golem "Tyrian, weapon." he admitted. Point taken.

"Easy buddy, because you hurt yourself again!" I mocked him before lifted a Gaschacon Breaker from the ground "Hmm, now I should use some catchphrase ..."

M and Yang sighed "Really?" blonde brawler asked before she noticed I started to run fast I could. Golem chased me and destroyed floating blocks "Hey! Where are you going?!"

M was silent for a second before realized "Now I understand why Mighty chose you!" Yang looked at X-Fire when I was jumping around and avoiding the golem attack "He becomes stronger by eating candy."

"Oh," Blonde girl nodded "Wait! You want to tell me, Tyrian is now a Mighty from the Mighty Action Series?!"

"Bingo!" my friend said "So you know how it's work," he added, where I was jumping on the blocks, the second and hit the third block with my Gashacon Breaker. Revealing to be a yellow coin "Speed Power up!"

I took it "Item get!" I exclaimed before started flying through the Golem multiple times and hit it with crazy speed, ricocheting on the floating blocks. Each strikes a cause 'HIT' SFX appeared. After eleven had hit, the Bugster was knocked down, but it slowly got up. "Come on!" I yelled to him when I landed. Golem was going for the attack, so I used a Gashacon Breaker and block the first and second strike, but third attack parry by a spin heel kick. "Time to finish this!" Jumping high, I prepared to blow final attacks. First I slam a hammer on its head. After flipping in the air, I did it again, Before blow a final strike, I pressed a B button on the Gaschacon Breaker and did a final slam.

PERFECT!

After my land on the ground, Bugster golem digitally exploded, revealing Ruby, before she falls to the ground "That was intense. But Ruby is safe."

"Tyrian." M said, "This isn't ended."

"Eehh?"

"Ruby!" Yang ran to her little sister and kneeled to grab her, but she passed through her hand "W-what the...?" When I saw this, I ran to both girls "What is happening with my sister?" Xiao Long asked when Rose was slowly fading. That was a bad sign.

"This isn't end," M repeated before I looked at the swarm Bugster DNAs combine into some new form. It was a blue humanoid monster with a black hat and a blue gauntlet in his right arm "Now meet another the Bugster form."

"Another? Come on, how many forms they got?!" I had yelled piss before Yang nudged me "What?" she pointed a Ruby.

"You can't beat me when you're only a level one!" Monster mocked me.

"The boss Salty from Mighty Action One." Yang muttered surprise "But how."

"Game isn't over" M took a heavy breath "You know what to do."

I smirked under the mask "Transform Plus!" I flipped a lever 'Finally.'

GACCHAN! LEVEL UP!

The pink screen came out of the Gamer Driver's center, so I ran through it before jumping upwards with a punch.

MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION X!

After level one armor had busted of me cause a level two appeared, so I landed on the ground crouched down. I lifted my head, before rising up and raising my right fist into the air. Yang was surprised of my new form. "Holy ..."

"You can call me a Masked Rider … Ex-Aid!" My hammer was summoned one more time, and I pressed A button.

JA-KIIN!

Gaschacon Breaker changes to Blade Mode. I raised a clenched fist "Let's clear this with no continues!" I added, opening fist.

"You're making me salty!" Bugster had snorted before he charged to me. I jumped upward and did a front flip, dodge his strike. He again rushed to me, so I back flipped and slashed my blade to his back. He moved forward, turning to me, so he noticed when I swung my sword. Salty blocked the strike with his gauntlet "Take that!" He pushed my weapon away, before throwing a punch to me. I moved back and saw strange things. His arms shot a short-range electrical burst.

'I wonder...' Salty was faster that I thought. When my brain was away, he finally punched me with his gauntlet and shocked me.

"His gauntlet can shock you!" Yang had yelled to me before we both heard a slight beeping noise when I was hit. She looked saw the bar on my chest was little depleted, "He has a health bar?" Blonde brawler asked M than he nodded "So what happens if it reaches zero?"

M rolled his eyes "Game over." he said, "On the best option he only return his breakfast, on the worst he can die." M said when I was slashing Salty.

Hearing this sentence "Wait, what?!" I yelled before noticed one thing. Salty catch my blade with his gauntlet arm "Oh crap." I only muttered, when he shock me, forced me to move back. Bugster tried to punch me but rolled out of the way of the attack. 'Hmm, time to change a plan.' I thought, getting up and pressing a B button, before slashing Salty. After that, I had jumped into the air to the floating blocks and press A button.

JA-KON!

Jumped down, I was hitting him with a hammer. I swung my arm with a hammer to strike him, but Salty ducked under 'Perfect' Pressed a B button, I was turning and hitting his gauntlet with the Gaschacon Breaker. On his arm appeared a few cracks 'Bingo. His arm is his weapon and also a weak point' I thought, pressing a B button and hitting a hammer. More cracks appeared 'One more time' I did it once more, cause a little explosion on the Bugster arm.

"What?!" Salty yelled before realized what happened. "How dare you?!" he asked me, but I pressed A button and slashed him, sent him flew backward and ran after him, slashing him five more times. When he landed, I was pressing a B button and slashing him, cause a 'GREAT' SFX appeared. "Damn you," he said when I taking Mighty Action Gashat from the Driver.

GASHUUN!

I lifted up the Gashat and blew on it before I inserted it into the top opening on his holster.

GASHATTO!

"What?" Salty question, when I pressed the silver button.

KIWEMAZA!

Energy began gathering around my right foot when I got into a jumping stance and pressing a silver button once more "Rider Kick!"

MIGHTY CRITICAL STRIKE!

My visors gave a glowed for a second, as I jumped forward with a kick, hitting the Slaty with his right foot before it exploded due to the amount of energy it was hit with.

KAISHIN NO IPPATSU!

"Level ..." I getting up and doing a spin around, before throwing left arm with victory gesture into the air. "... clear!" A mini pop-up window appeared in my vision.

The game arena disappeared, so I ran to siblings. "Please be okay." I looked at Rose. She was all right, maybe still unconscious, but she stopped disappear "Thank Lord Helix." I pull out Gashat from Finisher Slot and flip a lever.

GASHUUN! GACHAAN! SEE YOU NEXT GAME!

My transformation canceled, so I kneeled next to Yang "Listen-"

She glared me "No. Not here. We must take her to the hospital."

"It won't be necessary," M said. Oh yeah, I forget about him. Yang gave me back the X-Fire, so I looked at the screen "She is fine, she only need a rest."

"Are you sure?"

M nodded and smiled "Yes. You defeated the virus. Nice work, Ex-Aid." I smile sadly, taking Ruby on the piggyback.

'Ex-Aid … Masked Rider Ex-Aid'


When we back to home, Yang told everything to Qrow and her father. They only looked at each other, before they took me to another room and 'ask for a long chat.' Qrow stares at me "So, let's make this clear." he began "Ruby was infected by Bugster Virus, and this caused her ill. Virus replicate took control over her body and mutated into Rock Golem Glitch." I nodded, so he continued "And you used a Level one form to separated Virus from Ruby."

"Yes, sir." I said, "After that, I leveled up and destroyed Salty for good."

"Salty?" Taiyang asked, "I heard that name somewhere, but I can't remember where."

I shrugged "Boss from Mighty Action Series. Who care now, when he exploded?"

"Me." Qrow frowned "Tyrian, you heard yourself? Ruby mutated to Rock Golem?"

"Well, Yang told that same." Tai noted "So he didn't lie. The question is who was infected, Ruby. Ideas?"

I closed my eyes and try remembered what Ruby said after woke up. 'And I bumped into the weird guy. He told me I am perfected and spread an orange mist.' The weird guy which ability to infected humans and Faunus. "Ruby said Yang and me about weird guy in Signal. I think he is a culprit for now."

Taiyang sighed "If we only have his photo. I will check camera on the hall" he got serious "Are you sure, Ruby is okay?"

I nodded "Yes. She is only tired and had few scratches. Maybe her Aura still a regeneration." he stood up "It's my fault. If I know, they will want ..."

"No." Qrow interrupted me "This isn't your fault. Bugster didn't choose Ruby because they knew about your power."

"What do you mean?" Taiyang asked curiosity "You suspected they chose first victim random?"

Qrow stood up "I will check this. If last time was the common case, we maybe find a pattern." he turned to me "You are free for now. Take a rest Ex-Aid."

"Thank you, boss," I said and leave a room. 'They want to kill me for a moment' I thought, turning to Ruby's room. Before rest, I should check her once more. But not to my surprise, I bumped on Firecracker "Umm." Yang glared me. I should know, she is still mad at me "You heard everything, am I right?" She nodded "Crap, I want to tell you this in private. Okay, if you know a whole truth …" She caught collar of my shirt and pressed me to the wall. Her eyes were red 'Her Semblance is activated. Oh boy, she will kill me.'

Yang, still glaring me, finally spoke out "Leave."

"Huh?"

"You will leave my home." she said with tone opinionated "Stay away from her or I will kill you, do you understand?" I want to say something, but she punched next to my head "I don't care what my dad and uncle Qrow told you. She almost dead there." her tone was cold "I should thank you, but that Virus know about your armor. So you must somehow connect with him, and this may bring more dangerous on Ruby. I am her sister and I will do everything to protect her."

"Yang … " I muttered. She has right if I stayed with their, Bugster may strike again, and this time Yang or Ruby can die. "I-I ..." Yang maybe was piss, but I thought even for her was hard to treat me. She was like her father and maybe little overprotective about Ruby, but she was her big sister. Siblings protect each other. "I understand." She blinked little surprise "Give me a few days." Yang nodded, before released me from the grip. "I am sorry," I whispered, passing her and walking to my room.
