(Insert Megaman Starforce 2: Wave Battle Boss theme)
Fox, who wielded a set of tonfa like weapons, charged in first. His plan was to get in a few good hits while his larger teammate got closer. Megaman didn't let that happen. He fired his Mega buster a few times, forcing Fox back due to surprise. Yatsuhashi, who wielded a large sword, was able to get in range and attempted to use a down ward swing on his opponent. He was blocked by a green shield and was easily thrown back. Velvet jumped in and tried to punch him, but he easily dodged. By this point Coco had transformed her hand bag into a minigun and started firing. Megaman blocked with his shield but took a few hits to his back from a recovered Fox. This went on for a while with Megaman trying to defend against one attack and almost getting hit by or getting hit by another. Geo heard Mega say, "Kid, we need some sort of speed boost if we want to keep up. Think you can still use those?"
Geo knew what he meant. He hadn't used 'those' in a long while, not to mention that the upgrade to the Hunter VG might have removed them. He looked at his selection and picked a defensive battle card. He used Invisible to buy time. Velvet almost hit him when he vanished from view. Unable to see him, Fox and Velvet used their combined hearing to find him. They gestured to their teammates who helped surround the spot he was in. Geo searched within himself to find 'them' and he succeeded. Sadly, they weren't nearly as strong as when he first got them; but they were strong enough to do what he needed to. As he started to become visible he yelled out.
"TRIBE ON: NINJA!"

CFVY jumped back as a cyclone of leaves appeared. When it died down, they saw Megaman in a new form. He was now clad in a shinobi shozoku. The upper body had green plating. The lower half lacked plating and was an odd hue of grey. His head had a green helm that let his hair out with a four point star on it. His hair was going to the side and he had on a red pointed suppressant scarf and a giant shuriken on his back. Coco recovered from her surprise the fastest and began firing at him. He effortlessly dodged the attack and threw giant shuriken at her. She couldn't move in time and was hit easily. Velvet and Fox tried to gang up on him. Megaman had anticipated the tactic. When they got close, he created copies of himself and surrounded them. He then threw a storm of shuriken at them. A buzzer sound stopped him. After dismissing his other selves, the two left the area. He turned around only to get struck with a powerful swing from the local giant. However, Megaman turned into a puff of smoke and was instantly right behind his attacker. He used a sword attack on Yatsuhashi and then used his speed to build distance.
"TRIBE ON: ZERKER!"
A lightning bolt struck him. His opponents were surprised until they saw him. Their jaws dropped. He now stood in a black jumpsuit with lightning bolt covered in grey plating. His helm covered his head still and had a red gem on the forehead with two lightning bolts coming from it. On his back was a large sword that looked like a giant lightning bolt. Megaman drew the blade. Yatsu charged again with Coco turning her weapon back into a hand bag and changing location. The two guys clashed. Megaman wasn't budging when his larger opponent struck. In fact, Yatsuhashi was the one being pushed. He tried horizontal slashes, vertical, diagonal, and even thrusts against his smaller opponent but they were all blocked, parried, or dodged. Coco found a new spot and prepared her weapon. After making sure she had reloaded she nodded to her teammate. He nodded back. With a loud grunt, he forced himself and Megaman apart. With the new opening, Coco started up her weapon and fired at Megaman. Megaman himself turned to the sound of the minigun and used his sword to block the attack. After a moment he slowly started to advance on her. Yatsu ran over to his team leader. The two started to plan out how they were going to beat him. Megaman, however, had another idea. He looked over and saw a battle card that would bail him out. Shifting so that his shoulder was against the blade he wielded, he was able to select the Warrior's Soul card.
"Warrior's Soul!"
The last two members of team CFVY turned away from the conversation they were having and saw their opponent charging at them with reckless abandon. Worse yet, despite the force of the bullets which should have pushed him back, he was unfazed by the damage he seemed to be taking and was getting too close for comfort. He suddenly stopped and started to swing the sword while out of range. However, the sword sparked and grew in size. He made two horizontal slashes and while Coco and Yatsu were struck with paralysis, he lifted the blade over his head. Lightning arced over the blade as Megaman swung downward and struck the ground. An explosion of lightning erupted from the point of impact and knocked the C and Y of CFVY in to the walls of the arena. With that a buzzer sounded, indicating the end of the match.

Switching to Geo
Megaman looked around the arena. Velvet and Fox looked stunned while Coco and Yatsuhashi were. Professor Goodwitch had her mouth open. Ozpin had a cup of coffee over his mouth. And the students in attendance were all showing varying degrees of shock and awe. He transformed back to his normal form and looked back over at the Headmaster.
"Um, did I go overboard?"
Only silence responded. Mega materialized.
"I think you broke them kid."
"Damn."
Geo and Mega turned to find Coco and Yatsu slowly standing up.
"Definitely didn't see that coming. Ow, you really know how to fight kid."
"Uh, thanks?"
"Where did you learn to do all that," asked Velvet who had started to recover and walk back over.
"Experience," Geo nervously answered.
Shocked expressions covered CFVY's faces. The sound of someone clearing their throat drew the group's attention to Ozpin. Goodwitch slowly walked over with a look that said that she had no clue what she just saw.
"Well, I only said you had to impress us. I didn't actually expect you to win."
"Really old man," questioned Mega.
"Mr. Omega-Xis."
"Now now Glynda. I honestly had that coming. I saw the video from the initiation; this outcome should have been within my realm of possibility."
"Initiation, you mean that thing we showed up during?"
"Yes."
"Tsk, if that made it possible; then being able to access all our stuff made it a guarantee."
"Wait, you were holding back," asked Goodwitch.
"Not exactly," added Geo, "it was more of our equipment being set to the default stuff with no time to reequip."
"Actually kid, that does count as holding back."
"Oh."
"We should probably wrap things up here, before too many prying eyes close in," interjected Ozpin.
Goodwitch nodded. She looked up at the crowd and said, "That is the match. The winner is Ge…"
"Megaman."
The blonde professor looked at the blue clad warrior, "Excuse me?"
"In my wave form I'm called Megaman."
She nodded, "The winner is Megaman."
Time Skip
Ozpin, Geo, Goodwitch, and team CFVY returned to Ozpin's office.
"Well then," started Ozpin as he looked at the student team, "I assume that you four are impressed?"
"Yes sir/Yes/Of course/ (nodding)."
"And you Glynda?"
"Without a doubt."
"Well, Mr. Stelar. Let me be the first to welcome you as a student of Beacon Academy."
"Thank you."
"Now then, as you are now a first year student, you will be placed in a dorm in the first year wing. I will not place you on a team so that in the event that you are able to get home, they will not be left a member short."
"Alright."
"We will email you a schedule tomorrow. For now, there is paperwork to fill out."
As Geo filled out the paperwork, Velvet walked up to him, "Um Geo?"
The boy in question looked over at her, "Yeah?"
"Do you mind if I take a picture of you in wave form?"
"Um, Okay," said a confused Geo. He transformed into Megaman and let Velvet take pictures of him.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, but why did you want to take my picture?"
"Um," Velvet started to fidget, "my weapon makes hard light copies of weapons I take pictures of. I was trying to see if it would work on your armor."
"Okay. No offense but that is the strangest thing someone has asked me to do. That includes being asked to go to the girls' restroom in Spica Mall to summon a ghost."
Coco started laughing while the others looked dumbfounded. Velvet started working on her weapon after a moment while Geo got back to the papers. After a while, Velvet reported that she could only duplicate the gauntlets that Geo had in wave form.
"You said that you can duplicate weapons, right," asked Mega who has materialized.
"Yes."
"I see, then that would explain why you duplicated the gauntlets. The mega buster and shield are located there. The rest of the armor is more like clothing."
"I see."
Geo started to finish the papers when Ozpin asked, "By the way, what were those forms you took on in the match?"
Geo finished the last signature and looked up, "Those were my Tribe forms."
"Tribe?"
"Yes," Geo then went on to tell the story of the OOPArt, Vega, Rogue, and Le Mu. Jaws hit the floor with enough force to put dents in it.
"You've fought a god?! Now I feel guilty making you fight students."
"Don't worry; you had no way of knowing old man. If it's any consolation, we can't use our Noise forms and the Tribe ones have only a fraction of their power from before we fought Le Mu."
"Wait," Fox nearly shouted, "you were holding back still?"
Geo looked at him, "kind of, I didn't use any offensive battle cards and used the weakened Ninja and Zerker."
Velvet promptly fainted. Her team decided to take her to rest and to lay down themselves.
Time Skip Switching to Third
Geo was given a dorm in the first year wing. Mega said that RWBY was down the hall. He had noticed that the Weiss girl from before was entering their dorm as they entered theirs. Geo had gone to bed. In the middle of the night the door to the dorm opened revealing a white glyph that had been keeping it partially open. A familiar blue eyed Ice Queen entered. She searched around until she found Geo's Hunter VG and left the room with it. Mega stayed close to the thief, curious about her what she was up to. Weiss ran through the halls until she was outside. She went to the statue in front of the school. The girl scanned the area then let out a sigh of relief; unaware that she wasn't alone. She then started mimicking the actions that Geo took to wave change.
"Transcode: Megaman!"
Nothing happened. She tried again with the same results. She growled and tried again. When it still didn't work a vein suddenly became more noticeable and her face became red. Mega was laughing his ass off. Unfortunately, Weiss heard him through the Hunter. She started to scan for him. Mega noticed as he calmed down and decided to teach her not to steal.
"Aw, is the little girl getting mad. Ha ha."
"Where are you?"
"Does it matter? Not like you could do anything about it."
"Do you know how this works?"
Mega grinned at the desperate plea.
"Yes."
"Then tell me how to get it to work," demanded the clueless heiress.
"In all honesty, you have been doing everything right."
"Then why won't it work," barked Weiss as she got redder.
"Why do you want it to work?"
"Because I have to get stronger!"
"Uh, I kind of got that. I meant what reason gives you the right to more power."
At first she looked like she was about to explode. Then without warning, she seemed to deflate. Mega was puzzled.
"I'm a Schnee; I have to be the best. I have to be unrivaled. I have to be leader of my team. I disobeyed my father coming to Beacon. Especially since the White Fang has a huge target on my back because my family's company uses Faunus labor and they have been at war with us. Ozpin choose that child as leader when I am more qualified. Port agrees with him, all the teachers seem to. If my dad finds out I am not the best of the first years, my life is over. I have to get stronger or I'll bring shame to the family."
Mega was shocked.
"That… Wasn't the answer I was expecting."
"Huh?"
"I figured the answer was to get stronger for personal reasons, which most of your reasoning is. What I didn't expect was that you were after power because you were required to just to maintain a family honor."
"You still haven't told me why the device doesn't work."
"There are two reasons."
"Which are?"
"One, you need to fuse with me to transform and I don't want to fuse with you."
Weiss stood shocked as Mega continued, "Second, the power of Megaman comes from the bonds that have been developed with others. You lack those bonds."
"What," she yelled.
"You heard me. You don't seem like a person with many friends and your relations with your family seems to be strained at best."
The heiresses eyes started to water, "That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard."
"You're only proving my point," Mega then noticed two figures getting close. One was wearing a familiar pair of glasses, "Looks like our time together is up."
The girl was about to respond when she heard a feminine voice say, "Weiss?"
Earlier
Geo rolled out of bed. He hit the ground with a painful thump. He expected to hear Mega comment on his mishap but it was oddly silent. Geo snapped fully awake and got up. He looked at the table he set the Hunter VG on. His eyes widened in horror as he saw it was missing. He ran out the door to go get Professor Goodwitch when he noticed his neighbor's door open. Out came Ruby who was wearing white and pink rose pattern pants with a black tank top with a heart shaped creature. She noticed Geo almost immediately.
"Oh, hey. Um… have you seen a white haired and blue eyed girl by any chance?"
"No sorry. Have you by chance seen my seen someone with my Hunter VG?"
"What's a Hunter V… Oh, you mean that thing you use to transform?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Oh but sorry I haven't. Are you sure it wasn't just misplaced?"
"Mega can't materialize without it nearby."
"Wait, I thought he was your Semblance."
"Nope."
Ruby made an 'o' shape with her mouth as she started to understand. Then she remembered how her teammate ranted earlier about how the kid couldn't have been that powerful and how dare he be more powerful than her and whatnot. A dreadful thought crossed her mind. She noticed that the boy was starting to walk away when she spoke up.
"Hey um?"
Geo turned to look at her, he realized she didn't know his name.
"Geo and yes?"
"I think I know who has your Hunter VG."
"What do you… Oh."
He understood. Her teammate was missing at the same time his Hunter VG went missing. It wasn't hard to put two and two together.
"We need to find her."
The two decided to go together. As they searched they talked just to keep any awkward silence at bay.
"So what is your Semblance?"
"Um I don't know. I don't even know how to get one."
Ruby looked at the boy with a strange glance.
"You discover it after you unlock your aura."
"Oh, guess I should get my aura unlocked first."
"Wait you fought an entire team of second year students without your aura unlocked?"
"Yeah, um what exactly does an aura do?"
"It enhances your physical abilities and provides a defense against damage."
"Oh."
"How do you not know this?"
"Um, well you see, I don't come from Remnant."
"I kind of guessed that when you fell out of the sky and almost landed on me."
"I did? Sorry Ruby."
"No problem. Wait, how do you know my name?"
"I heard it in Port's class. Not to mention my Hunter VG alerted me to a Keyword entry when Weiss said it, and when you said her name."
"Wow, it can materialize a partner and note information! Where do I get one?"
"On my home planet, Earth."
By this point the two were outside.
"Sooo… what weapons do you have?"
"Um," Geo didn't know how to explain that so he pulled out several cards that were in his pocket.
"I don't get it."
"You see, back home we used these cards in conjuncture with the Hunter to use weapons. You can't use a weapon without a corresponding battle card."
"Oh," said the somewhat understanding Ruby. She then glanced over by the statue and started to move faster. Geo noticed and glanced in the same direction. When he saw what she did he did his best to catch up. When they got to the statue, Ruby said, "Weiss?"
The heiress turned around.
Author's Note:Well… this is out way later than I had planned. I have had other responsibilities that kept me tied up. I like would to also note that Geo Does Not have access to his noise forms. As for why I let him use the Tribe forms without the OOPArts is because in game he could still use them after the corresponding OOPArt was taken by Hyde/Dark Phantom. However, I have weakened them considerably so that he is not curb stomping everything at the beginning. Don't worry; I will restore them to full power later in the story. Hopefully I can get the next chapter out in a timelier manner.
