Earlier….

The red orb form the device glowed, as it gave Kyle visions. They were some kind of memories, filling him with many names, words, battles and many things that were too much to count with fingers, before finally giving a name 'Kamen Rider'. As it glowing brighter and brighter, Kyle closed his eyes due to the amount of light.

As the light died out, he opened his eyes to see an empty white space before it revealed several figures albeit blurry at first. The figures revealed to be several body armored warriors with many noticeable features.

Most of them have horns, small orbs in their helmets, some have looks that Kyle could relate to other things like animals, insects, space shuttle, even Japanese samurai armor, a figure with a tire stuck on its body, a hooded parka and the one with a hairdo and cartoonish eyes on its helmet?

Even so, he could tell that those are armors and not some Halloween costume props. The figures kept circling around him, along with some visions of them fighting unimaginable monsters. Some of them kept chanting "Henshin" as their armors lit up, until the visions finally gave Kyle a name.

"Kamen Rider." Kyle muttered the given name as everything he saw faded into a bright light.

Present….

Kyle, still riding his Machine Decader, was still processing about his thoughts earlier as he finally arrived at his destination, which turned out to be a city. He saw things that are not much different than his home. Busy streets filled with cars, people, streetlights and buildings. He also saw a black vending machine nearby when taking a few meters ahead, and proceeded to it while finding a nearby place to park.

Looking back, the visions that he had earlier were something unimaginable by most people. He didn't even felt like it was a compilation of various movie scenes. It was like the visions were telling him about the real tales of mighty warriors that he had just become, and that he must prepare for a big event that will not only involve him, but the rest of the world, as well. Kyle was hoping that he could get the answers soon.

He then went to check on his wallet, opening it to reveal that he had a bunch of moneys in a currency called 'Lien', much to his surprise.

"Huh, well ain't this convenient."

As he arrived at the vending machine, he pulled 5 Liens from his wallet and inserted the money to its payment slot. He chose 'Plain Gain', a bottle of plain water. He took the drink out and drank it half-empty, he suddenly heard an audible breaking glass on a nearby shop called 'From Dust 'Till Dawn' which almost made him spat his drink out. The crash was followed by a flung man in suit with red tie and a fedora hat and aviator glasses, kicked by a teenage girl. He was followed by a bunch of men in the same attire, each holding guns and Kukris.

He also noticed another orange-haired one who was wearing a red-trimmed black bowl hat and a white suit with black pants and gloves. The man was also seen holding a cane and smoking a cigar.

But Kyle's main attention was the next person, who was a girl in a red hooded cape with cross-shaped pins holding it to her shirt. She had a short black hair with a red tint on its end and a pair of silver eyes. She was wearing a black blouse with some red trimmings on the skirt. Her torso was covered in black waist cincher with red lacings. Around her waist was a belt with a metallic silver rose pin. The belt held a red magazine pouch, and on her bottom were black stockings and pair of red-trimmed black boots.

What was more surprising, the girl was holding some kind of odd red tool while her other hand was holding a red headphone. Her tool unfolded itself to reveal a huge scythe as she twirled it with ease before striking it to the ground and turning off her headphone.

"Holy..." Kyle couldn't believe his eyes. He only saw those things before in online games or fantasy-themed props, but he never actually got to see it in real life on the streets, even in a casual manner like what he just saw.

"Okay…. Get her!" the bowled hat man ordered the other black-suited men to attack the girl.

Despite their efforts to strike a blow, she always managed to counter them. She even sent one flying with her weapon's rear end. When the others tried to attack her, she fired several gunshots to them. That Scythe-Shotgun combo weapon was a high-end military grade weapon that maybe Kyle's home world government was itching for, and what was more unbelievable, is that it was literally being used by the girl.

This view reminded Kyle of what happened to Linda and several people he helped during his earlier days. A bunch of thugs ganging up on a girl in the streets, either asking for their money or another that belongs to them. Though the girl seemed that she could still hold her ground, he had a feeling that it wouldn't be long. Kyle decided to quickly finish his drink as he rushed to the fight.

When another one got behind the girl, Kyle saw this as an opportunity to join the fray as he threw his empty water bottle to the assailant. He then charged at him and punched him in the face and kicked him with his knee.

"Anyone generous enough to tell me what's going on?"

"A robbery. They even tried to rob me too." The girl replied.

"Mind if I reel in, then? I was kinda enjoying my drink here."

"Sure. I'll be happy to." The girl smiled back.

Wait, what did he just said? Reel in? Like he could just flip them all in one turn!? That's just crazy right out of the bat! But with all the confidence he had back when fighting those monsters in the forest? How could he back down from another one?

At least… that was what is inside the young man's head. He had no time for doubts. He had to act if he ever wanted to know what had transpired in front of him.

As the others charged and gunned at them, the girl knocked one with her scythe, followed by Kyle who delivered an elbow at the next one. He continued with kicking one at the gut, sending him away, with the girl kept swinging her scythe and fired at them. Kyle also continued striking at the others while avoiding some gunshots from them. He even managed to use one of the henchmen as a meat shield when being shot at in time, and knocked the others out with a combo from his and the girl's scythe assaults.

As the henchmen had been taken care of, they finally turned to the man in white coat.

"You two were worth every cent. Truly you were." The man said as he dropped his cigar and crushed it with his cane.

"Well, Red and….. Blackie. Ugh, why your clothes are so inconsistent…?" The man said as he raised his cane. "Anyway, I think we can all say that it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around….. I'm afraid this is where we part ways."

The cane opened its bottom to reveal itself as a rifle with a cross grid. That was the second time Kyle encountered an unconventional, yet unique weapon.

"Wait. Your cane is a gun?" Kyle surprised.

"What do you think?" the man scoffed.

"Uhh… a bouquet that fires confettis? 'cause that's gonna look pretty on you." Kyle flatly replied.

The girl giggled at Kyle's answer while the man groaned at it before unleashing a blast at them, causing the girl to leap over it and Kyle rolling away to dodge it. When they got their composure back, they looked back at the man's position, only to find that he wasn't there, but climbing a ladder in a nearby building.

"Whelp…. That was fast." Kyle said

The shopkeeper went out from his shop. He was an elderly man wearing some casual t-shirt and pants while they were covered by his shop apron.

"Mind if we go after him?" the girl asked the shopkeeper as he replied with a single "uh huh".

"Hey, mind giving me your name?" Kyle asked the girl.

"It's Ruby. Ruby Rose."

"Kyle Morgan. Know that guy before?" Kyle asked as he shook his hand with Ruby.

"Nope." Ruby simply replied. She struck her scythe to the ground before hopping on it.

"Hop on." She told him.

"Wait, how are we gonna – oohh…" Kyle was about to ask the plan to chase the man. He noticed that Ruby was probably going to use her scythe's shot recoil to propel them up to the roof.

And he was right.

"AARGH!" Kyle screamed as they were propelled high enough to reach the top. He had never felt a velocity like that before, not even riding his bike in high speed could compare to it.

As they landed on the roof, Ruby managed to land on her feet while Kyle was thrown a few inches away before he kneeled.

"I really gotta get used to that." Kyle panted after the jump.

"Hey! Stop right where you are!" Ruby shouted at the man.

"That's as far as you can go, pal!" Kyle threatened the man.

"Persistent bunch of brats..."

As they readied themselves, a getaway vehicle rose up and opened its hatch. It was a VTOL aircraft with two gyro propellers. The man went inside the craft to make his escape.

"On the contrary, folks. This is the end of the line for you!" the man yelled at both of them, throwing a red Dust crystal at their position. Kyle and Ruby noticed that it was a highly explosive Dust, with the man aiming on it.

"GET DOWN!" Kyle ordered as they brace themselves.

The man fired his weapon at the crystal and exploding upon contact. He laughed at the scenery until the dusts solved to reveal that they're unharmed, and another figure standing at the roof.

It was a blonde-haired woman in purple cape, wearing a white shirt, a black skirt and glasses that covered her emerald eyes. She defended the two by casting some kind of a protection rune circle using her wand. She then waved her weapon and attacked the Bullhead by casting purple streaks. This made the man threw into the back and nearby the craft's cockpit.

"We got a huntress!" the man said as he went to the cockpit.

The Bullhead was piloted by a woman in red dress. She headed towards the back as the man went for the controls. The blonde woman glowed purple for a moment before casting another blast at the craft, resulted in a dark-storm cloud forming over it.

"The hell…?"

With the flick of her wand, a large jagged hail was formed in the air as it fell down on the Bullhead and pummeled it. The hail also broke the craft's glass, even missed the man's head.

The woman in red soon reached the Bullhead's back and she was glowing with flames dancing through her body before firing a flame burst at the blonde huntress. She blocked the blast, but the flames splattered behind her and exploded as the assailant's hands are raised. The blonde huntress flipped back to avoid it and gathered the debris with her wand, magically formed a large javelin aimed at the Bullhead.

The fiery woman in red shattered them with several blasts, but the javelin reformed itself in time to hit the side of the Bullhead due to the quick lean from the pilot. The javelin separated into debris as it reshaped to several arrows, all aimed at the assailants. Despite the odds, the woman in red summoned a flaming ring around the aircraft, destroying the arrow shards.

"Drop the package." The woman in red ordered.

"Eh?"

"Let him have his fun, Roman."

"Well, if you say so." The man named Roman complied.

As the Bullhead's hatch closed, said 'package' was dropped from the craft's airlock. The three on the roof couldn't see it clearly until it dropped on the ground, creating a huge crater on it.

As the dust settled, a creature emerged from the shattered ground. It was an ominous presence of a black muscular humanoid spider creature, with a white mask and white body armor with some red markings on it, similar to that composure of a Grimm. It had four eyes and four huge spider legs. Its arms had stingers over its hands. Its chest piece emblazoned a symbol of an eagle with Remnant's globe being held by its claws.

"Finally….. time to have some recreation." The creature growled as he unleashed a ground stomp, breaking the street roads and crashing some cars. He also threw some of them into buildings, breaking the structures along the way.

"I can feel it….. the power of fear and despair. IT'S ALL MINE!" he roared as he unleashed more assaults on the streets, along with the running pedestrians trying to fled from the chaos. As the monster stated, fear and despair colored their faces, much to his delight. He laughed maniacally as he wreaked havoc on the streets. Even the police's efforts against him were proved futile.

The three on the rooftop could only witness it in astonishment. They had never seen this kind of monstrosity before, especially Kyle who had just having bizarre things happened to him.

"What… is that?" Ruby felt the overwhelmed by the monstrosity.

"By Oum…" the blonde huntress muttered.

Kyle wondered if he could beat him with his newly-earned gear. He was afraid if it wasn't enough seeing how powerful and different that monster was, but he also couldn't let the monster rampaging on the loose. He needed to do what he can do right now. It's all or nothing for Kyle Morgan.

"Can you guys get the others to safety?"

"We'll try, but what about you?" Ruby asked him.

"I'll hold him off from everyone."

Ruby raised her eyebrows upon hearing it, "Wait, how are you gonna do that?"

"This." Kyle replied as he took out the Decadriver.

He put the belt on his waist as it wrapped around it, opening it and pulled his Kamen ride card out from the Ride Booker. He also noticed that Ruby's eyes were gleaming at the weapon, displaying her fondness of weapons as a huntress. This amused Kyle enough to lift the pressure he was also in.

"What is that?" Ruby wondered in awe-struck face.

"You'll see." Kyle smirked.

He flipped the card before inserting it into the Driver belt.

KAMEN RIDE :

As the standby tone played, he lifted his right hand to his chest, clenching it before he chanted the word.

"HENSHIN!"

DECADE!

He jumped off the roof as he went through his armor's shadows, quickly forming his armor before landing on the streets with his feet, protected from the impact by the black, grey and white pre-armor he was in.

As the dust settled, he regained his composure and the black 'cards' appeared and flew off from the Driver before placing themselves in his helmet, forming the horns. Finally, the grey parts of the armor changed its color to magenta as the helmet's visors glowed upon its activation.

This caught the monster's attention to him, along with several civilian who was far enough from their reach, the blonde huntress and especially, the awe-struck Ruby upon seeing Kyle's transformation to the armored knight.

"SOO COOOOL!" Ruby screamed in glee. She was also known for her weapons addict. Which means that seeing the armor that he wore made her ecstatic, for sure. It seems that she and her Crescent Rose just had a very awesome new friend.

Kyle, as Decade, who heard the scream, chuckled in amusement by Ruby's reaction before turning his attention to the monster.

"You know that's not what you're supposed to do in kids' playground, do you?" Decade taunted the spider monster.

"Well-well, what do we have here?" the monster mocked.

"A bully hater for eternity." Decade introduced.

"Do you have any idea how long I've been etching for a Kamen Rider? Those pesky Huntsmen and Huntresses couldn't even amuse me a bit." The monster growled.

"Well, say no more…. This'll be your last amusement park." Decade glared at the monster, readying his stance.

"TRY IT!"

The spider monster charged at Decade with him following suit. They clashed as they kept punching and kicking each other. Because of how dangerous the stingers were, Decade was prompted to use his weapon's sword mode to counter more oncoming attacks. However, his attempts weren't easy due to the stingers from its arms and spider legs.

Ruby was still beaming in awe. Her mouth was also drooling, still fascinated on how amazing it would be to use such armor and the weapon Decade had.

"I believe we should be going by now, young lady." The blonde Huntress ordered by placing her hand on Ruby's left shoulder.

"Oh, right!" Ruby said as she snapped back to reality, proceeding to secure the civilians.

"Everyone, please stay away from this vicinity! Take whatever you can and get away as far as you can!" the Huntress said.

"We're going to handle this quickly! Don't worry!" Ruby assured as the two guided the citizens away.

Decade and the monster kept clashing, each not willing to give up. When Decade was about to land a kick, the monster caught his leg and slammed him a few times to the ground before he threw him into a cafeteria, crashing the place.

Still unsatisfied, the monster picked him up and threw him again to the ground, delivering some barrage of punches reinforced with his spider legs and arms' stinger. The armor could defend his body from being pierced, but the pain was still unsustainable. The monster finished his barrage by pummeling Decade with his right foot.

"You think that puny strength of yours will stop me?" Taunt the monster.

"This isn't about strength….. it's about how much I wanna beat you up so bad." Decade barely spoke due to his pain, coughing from it.

"Try all you want. But in the end, Dai-Shocker will rule supreme over the weaklings, and we Kaijins shall spearhead our conquest!" He boasted.

"D-Dai Shocker? Kaijins?"

"Those shall be the last words you'll ever hear... Kamen Rider." The Kaijin raised his fist at Decade.

"NOT TODAY!"

Just as the Spider Kaijin was about to deliver the final blow, Ruby knocked him out in time with her scythe to save Decade. She then offered her hand to the Magenta Knight.

"Thought you could use a help." She said, offering her hand to the Rider.

"What about the citizens?" Decade asked her while reaching to her hand.

"Consider it done." Ruby smiled with a salute.

Decade slowly regained his composure, trying to ignore the overarching pain. "This guys tough... I'm not sure if-"

"Not if I can help it!"

"Wait, Ruby!"

Ignoring Decade's warning, Ruby dashed quickly into a red blur leaving rose petals in her wake. She landed a barrage of slashes that was enough to push the Kaijin back. He couldn't handle Ruby's immense slashing speed. Decided to finish it, Ruby swung her scythe in an attempt to cut the Kaijin's stingers off. However, he was surprisingly agile enough to react by blocking the girl's scythe, much to her own shock. The Spider Kaijin then grabbed the scythe's edge and forcibly tossed it off from Ruby's grip. Not only that, he also bashed the girl away right on her face and sent her dragging through the street.

"Ruby!"

"Just like I told you, Kamen Rider… no Huntsmen in this world could satisfy me!"

"You… you frickin' piece of crap!"

ATTACK RIDE : SLASH!

Decade's rage was induced to his attacks, being more aggressive and powerful than the Kaijin seemed to feel before. His sword was empowered to the point that it generated several energy blades from its edge. One slash equaled ten, thirty, or even hundred strikes enough to graze the monster's thick skin, although it wasn't deep enough to slice him in half.

His motivation was very clear: Even if he was in another world, even if it's not of his own… he could never stand seeing someone being hurt. Ever since he was a kid, he had always been thinking on putting himself on someone's shoes, especially the ones who had been bullied in any form. He would normally either roast them back or beat them up if they had gone too far, though he mostly went by the second option because he found most of the bullies to be very annoying, whiny and unreasonable. Part of the reason why he grew up the way he was, and call it cheesy, but his sense of justice and his awareness had always kept him on track this whole time, and thankfully made him the man he is.

However, as painful as it may seem, the Spider Kaijin could still hold its stand and retaliate. He quickly caught the sword's tip, swept it away and kicked the Rider on his stomach. The latter was sent rolling on the ground, but he quickly stood up once again despite the exhaustion and bruises he received. His armor couldn't guarantee his protection from further injuries, yet he rushed headlong to land more blows. He switched his grip to the sword's edge and swung it like a pole to the Kaijin's head. After a couple of hits, it did disorient the latter enough for Decade to thrust the Ride Booker sword to the monster's chest. Still, this wasn't enough to completely take him down.

"The hell…!?"

"You don't have what it takes to beat me, either! How shameful!" the Spider Kijin mocked as he bashed Decade down and trampled on his head. His weapon was swept away with the monster's leg before his hand could reach it. "And here I am expecting a challenge from a Kamen Rider. Or is it because you're actually a mere newbie?"

Newbie…

Somehow, it hit him hard more than anything he ever heard. It might had been a warrior's pride, but who knows? This freak got it just right. Up until the moment, he had zero monster hunting experience, and that he was suddenly shoved into the situation. Of course he had no choice but to rush headlong into the fight in order to ensure the citizen's safety, and that he'd never consider fleeing as an option.

It was also with the fact that Ruby, who fought alongside him, just got hit right to her head and quickly decommissioned her from the fight. She was still not moving from the hit that she had received, and this mortified the Kamen Rider. He had all those powers and gears he just got, so he should be capable enough to beat anything inhuman.

However… it wasn't.

"Doesn't matter. I'll squeeze your head along with your prized bucket helmet!"

"Ruby… I… I'm sorry…" Kyle heavily whispered to the girl who was laid down in front of him, unable to fulfill his duty as a protector.

Suddenly…

KA-THOOM!

A huge boulder hit the Spider Kaijin in high speed, sending him away from the downed Rider. He wondered where it came from, which turned that it was thrown by the blonde Huntress who finally came to the scene using her telekinesis. Using her wand, she then encased the monster in a cage made out of the road asphalt beneath him, although it wasn't enough to contain him as he slowly broke the cage with his fist.

"Don't even think this will-!"

"Are you certain about that?" the Blonde Huntress smirked, seemingly unhindered by the Kaijin's sheer display of power.

Just as she thought, she had already prepared a giant nail made out of the rubbles in the street, hanged above and aimed right towards the unsuspecting Kaijin. By the time he realized it, it was already too late. The nail pinned him down to the ground, causing a huge crash that cratered the ground and harmed it. The Spider Kaijin was finally downed by a Huntress that he looked down upon, an irony that was best served cold.

"Urgh… as much as I hate it… I have no choice! For there will be no next time after this!"

After a long, exhausting fight under the night sky, the Kaijin then decided to sink into a dark portal he summoned beneath him. The blonde Huntress who defeated him approached the scene, but she was seemingly unconvinced by the progress she had made. Decade slowly adjusted his position after the attack. He was sitting as he still couldn't gather up his energy to stand. His helmet suddenly unfolded itself after he somehow thought about comfort.

He asked the woman, "Did we… did we do it?"

"It appears that the monster has fled from here. I might have injured him, but there was no sign of him destroyed." The Huntress informed.

"I see… oh! More importantly…" Kyle turned his head to where Ruby was lying down to, only to find her not being there. This left him confused. "Eh, Ruby? Ruby, where are you?"

"THAT. WAS. AWESOME!" She beamed as she suddenly appeared on his left.

"Whoah, Ruby!? Are… are you really okay?"

"How did you do that? What else this thing can do? Ooh! It's a sword ! Ooh! It's also a gun! It carries cards too? What can they do? How does your armor work? Where did you get it from? Did you made it yourself? Are you a Huntsman too? Can I have your autograph?" Ruby asked her questions as quickly as how she ran in full speed before.

"Wait-wait! Just… hold on your horses, okay!?" unable to keep up with the oncoming questions from the red reaper and whatever that just went on, he stated, "Okay, first of all, I just passed-through here, and second, I'm not a Huntsman."

"Wait, you're not a Huntsman? But-" Ruby wondered.

"I'm more of a newcomer if you ask." Kyle answered. "More importantly, are you really okay? I mean… that monster hit you hard!"

"What are you talking about? Of course I'm fine!" she scoffed happily, as if nothing had happened to her. "I'm a tough cookie too, just so you know!"

"Err… okay…?"

"It's just that… I never thought it'd be that hard, so I was a bit shocked back then." She sheepishly admitted as she rubbed the back of her head and let out her tongue in the silliest way, possible. "But other than that, I'm fine!"

"Yeah, tell me about it."

Kyle hesitantly agreed, although he was still unable to process what really just happened to her. She was hit hard and flung out like a swatted fly, and yet she could still stand on her feet and act like nothing happened. Heck, she was only embarrassed by the heavy hit she just took! Any normal human could have a huge concussion, you know!

It was as if she had some sort of super durability or some sort of protective mantra, considering that he had just arrived in a completely alien world. He should consider asking it for further details later, but probably not with the fatigue he had.

Suddenly they heard several people clapping their hands and cheering at them. It was a rather rare occasion to see an armored knight and a huntress saving the day from an ominous monster. Some of them either congratulated them or recording them with their phone-like devices and tablets. Among them was also the Dust shopkeeper from earlier.

"It's enjoyable, right?" Ruby asked while she waved her hand.

"Just... passing-through to help." He smiled as he also waved his own. "Still, being praised like this… it just took out my pent up energy."

Their victory was cut short when the Blonde huntress came to them.

"Oh, right! You're a Huntress too! Can I have your autograph?" Ruby asked in her pleading, awe-stricken face. Kyle was deadpanned upon seeing it.

"My name is Glynda Goodwitch, and you two are coming with me." Glynda said while fixing her glasses.

Kyle and Ruby looked at each other, wondering where she would take them to.

"Umm…. Yeah?" Kyle wondered.

---

Soon, they found themselves in a dark interrogation room, only lit by one table lamp. They were a bit worried about what was going to happen next.

"You shouldn't say "yeah" in the first place!" Ruby bickered to Kyle.

"How should I know? It's not like she's just gonna put us in jail after what happened, right?" Kyle, de-transformed earlier, argued calmly at her.

"What if she will?" She worried.

"Just tell her the truth and hopefully, we'll be fine." He sighed.

Glynda came inside to the room with a tablet on her hand. She paced to where the two sat and proceeded to question them.

"I hope that you two realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly. You put yourselves and the others in great danger." She rectified.

"They started it!" Ruby defended.

"And… there goes the word." Kyle muttered.

"If it were up to me, you two would be sent home with the pat on your backs…. And slaps on your wrists." Glynda said as she slapped her wand to the table.

This caused Kyle to flinch back in surprise and Ruby to jump close to Kyle in reflex. As she realized it, the two blushed when they looked at each other, barely getting some words out from their mouths.

"A-aah! I-I uhh…"

"Y-you can let me go now." Kyle flustered.

Ruby complied him as she turned her face down from him. Her face turned red almost as red as her cape. Kyle relaxed himself and cleared his throat before started talking.

"You see, ma'am, what Ruby said here is the concrete proof of our actions tonight. We took out a rampaging monster, we secured the citizens and we saved the day. Everyone seemed happy, though. That's the only truth we can afford to tell you and we never knew about those guys' motives other than robbing a Dust shop and unleashing a monster on the streets. Was that all enough?" he explained.

Glynda narrowed her eyes while adjusting her glasses, "While that may be true, the cost for the damage could be put on you two. Not everyone was delighted due to their building's damages. As for their motives? I could only care much less about it."

"Though, if you're really just gonna ask us questions, why with the police's interrogation room? She's got a point, though. It's not like we're starting the whole mess in the first place." Kyle asked.

Ruby muttered, "Now that you mention it…"

"To be honest with you, it should be an apology on my behalf. We could only afford this room because from what had just happened, we believe that you might know what is truly going on, and that we are not willing to let any of your knowledge out to the public… just yet." The Huntress answered, sighing in apology.

"Okay. Wait, did you say 'we'?" Ruby wondered.

"Yes, and what I only do care now, is that someone would like to speak to both of you."

She gestured to another man who came to the room. He had a white hair, wearing glasses and a green scarf. He was also seen wearing a businessman attire with a green buttoned shirt underneath his black coat. On his hands were a mug and a plate of cookies.

"Ruby Rose. You have silver eyes." The man said as he leaned to Ruby.

"Uhh….."

She was at a loss of her words, while Kyle simply raised his eyebrows looking at them. This also made him wondering about her silver eyes. What attracted the man's attention to Ruby's traits? Though, such trait was little-to-no exist in his own world.

"So! Where did you learn to do this?" The man gestured at the tablet displaying Ruby's fighting skills.

"S-Signal academy." Kyle was a bit surprised upon hearing it. She was taught and trained combat far longer than he could imagine. He even wondered how many combat schools existed out there.

"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapon ever designed."

"Well, one teacher in particular." She replied

"I see…" the man said as he put the cookies in front of Ruby. She swallowed most of them without hesitation, but not without offering Kyle some, which he thanked for and ate them too.

He never knew before that Ruby's Scythe was considered to be a dangerous weapon. Now that he thought about it, her weapon might require a high-level dexterity to wield, or else the user might end up badly while using it, especially when it was being used as a cropping tool.

" It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old Qrow..." the man said, referring to Ruby's teacher in particular.

"Oh! That's my uncle!" she mumbled with her mouth full.

"Umm… Rubes?" Kyle reminded Ruby of her manners, which she complied by swallowing the rest of her food.

"Sorry, that's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. I was a complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm like- hoooowaah! Watchaaaah!" she said as she gestured some karate moves.

Kyle chuckled as he saw her doing it. She acted rather innocent despite her experience as a Huntress in training. She was even taught to fight monsters since childhood.

Moreover, the fact that monsters were creeping among the World of Remnant made it reasonable, as humanity's very essential nature is to survive. Which is why, it was natural for Kyle himself to carry his cutting-edge gear and use it every time he encountered monsters like the one that he fought much earlier.

"So I've noticed. And what of you, young man? Kyle Morgan isn't it?" he asked as he placed his cup on the table.

"I got into several street fights with thugs, before. Mostly to fend them off from their victims. Some were trying to mug me or bullying me in my earlier days at school. I even managed to memorize some moves from the movies and videogames. Which I have to say, were pretty cool. Martial arts lessons are on the count too, by the way." Kyle explained.

"And by school, do you mean a combat school?"

"Nope, never been into one." He replied.

"You what!?" Ruby was surprised. She couldn't believe that the young man who had beaten a monster had never been in a combat school like she did before.

"All I ever did was attending a normal school, getting good scores while I also had to deal with constant bullying every time I went there. I had to live in such environment, until a good friend of mine came." The man raised his eyebrows, wondering what kind of person that inspired Kyle to move forward.

"He helped me so much that I owe my own life to him. He's the one who made me the man I am today, hell even he taught me some moves. The important thing is, he gave me the hope to live on. The best one I could ever ask for." Kyle finished his explanation.

"A man of noble deed he is, then. I should say that I'm impressed." The man said as he drank from his cup.

"Why, thank you, sir." He acknowledged with a soft smile.

"But that still doesn't explain how you could defeat the monster, and not to mention, the equipments that you possess." He gestured to Kyle's video of combat skills, which was also helped by Ruby.

There goes the question... as much as Kyle was confused as to how things went on there, he decided to have a cool head in order to work things through. and if this world was not as much alien as he thought, perhaps he could work out a facade to avoid furhter nuisance... or questions. It must be worth to try, and he might just knew how to do it.

"Well, there was a saying, 'greater potential comes from greater adversaries', and there was also 'desperate time calls for desperate measures'. To be honest, this was my first time on beating a monster, aside in videogames. I just simply used the gears I have, read the manuals before and applying it on the field." He explained. "As for the weapon? Let's just say that a friend, or rather… mentor of mine gave it to me. He was the previous user of this weapon system. He even gave me a helluva bike, too." Kyle enthusiastically answered. However, it slowly changed into an uncertainty. "But I gotta admit, fighting monsters is a whole new level for me. I mean, I just got here and… this happened."

"And what of the monster? It seems familiar to that of a Grimm."

"Grimm?"

"Wait, you seriously don't know?" Ruby wondered.

"I said I'm a newcomer here, okay? I never fought that thing before." he defended.

"Grimms are creatures of darkness, claimed to have no soul at all. They prey upon us every time we encountered them. Their origins are… still remained in shadows until today, yet they are still roaming free in this world and endangering civillians. That's why we trained Huntsmen and Huntresses to protect people from such vile creatures." The man explained.

"Huntsmen and Huntresses, eh?" Kyle muttered. "Well, in tonight's case, he called himself a Kaijin. In one of my home's languages, it means a monster, human-sized that is. He also mentioned a name, Dai-Shocker. I don't know what, but I think it's not a good one to begin with. And if I recall some of my encounters with those... Grimms, they also have that white mask and armor, too."

"So, are you saying that the Kaijin could be a new type of Grimm?" The man wondered.

"Well in a place where superpowers and personal military-grade weapons are street legal? Who knows?"

"I see…"

"Anyway, do you happen to know a Grimm that looks like a Werewolf? Because I just happened to beat them up by the time I got here."

"A Werewolf?"

"Umm, wolf maybe?"

"I think what you meant here is Beowolf." Glynda answered. "It is the most common Grimm to appear in the wildlife. In terms of your capabilities, that must have explained why you were unable to beat the Kaijin. the latter was simply too powerful and intelligent to be considered as another type of regular Grimm."

"Looks like we're all just unlucky, huh? Especially me." Kyle lamented.

"Please don't burden yourself over this matter any further, Mr. Morgan." Glynda said.

Kyle sighed. "Right."

"Very well." The man said before turning to Ruby. "Now, what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at school designed to train warriors?"

"Well…. I want to be a huntress!" Ruby replied.

"You want to slay monsters?" The man wondered.

"Yeah! I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon! see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people." She explained as she talked faster in her growing excitement.

"My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, Hey, I might as well make a career out of it! I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really, gosh, you know!" she flipped out at the last part.

"Whoa, whoa, slow down there, champ." He calmed Ruby down, causing her to giggle in embarrassment. Deep down, he was quite impressed by her story, one being taught by his parents to help others. If he recalled his memories, his parents and his teachers taught him the same thing, although he applied it by simply keeping his environment clean and helping some house chores.

"Do you want to be a Huntsman too, Mr. Morgan?"

"Huntsman? Well, I think it'll be great too, though I also call myself a Kamen Rider."

"Kamen Rider?" The man wondered.

"That's a name that my gear came up with. Kamen Rider Decade."

"It even got a name too? I knew it! I knew that naming weapons are fun!" Ruby exclaimed.

"It's more of a codename, if I have to say it myself."

"Still awesome!" she justified as her eyes were gleaming and giving Kyle two thumbs up.

"Interesting. Now, do you both know who I am?" the man asked as he and Glynda studied them both.

"Uhh…. No?" Kyle replied.

"Kyle, he's Professor Ozpin. He's the headmaster at Beacon Academy." Ruby explained.

"Headmaster? So I assume that, this Beacon is nearby then?"

"Yup. The best and the most prestigious academy in Vale, the city we're in, in case you don't know again." Ruby explained, replied by Kyle's nod.

"Hello." Ozpin greeted.

"Nice to meet you." Said Ruby.

"It's been a pleasure then, sir." Kyle followed.

"Do you both want to come to my school?"

"More than anything."

"Wow, that was fast." The young man surprised. His uncertainty slowly became visible. "Well, I uhh…"

"Is there any problem, Mr. Morgan?" Ozpin asked.

"Honestly, I'm very grateful for the offer to join your fold or academy and all, but… it's just… this is still too much for me to take in." he stuttered. "I mean, I could barely even stand against that Kaijin, let alone defeat it. I-I don't even know if I'm qualified enough to enter your academy." He clenched his fist, fearing that his efforts might not be enough. "Maybe at least… can you give me a time to think this through?"

"Kyle…" Ruby muttered.

"Very well. I will give you a chance to think this through, and hopefully to defeat the monster first." Ozpin stated.

"Eh?" his two subjects wondered.

"But Ozpin, the initiation will start in a short time! We don't have time for this!" Glynda warned.

"You are right about that one, Glynda. However, seeing as to how the Kaijin terrorized this city, it would be very likely for it to strike again in a matter of time." The headmaster told. "As to your own doubts, Mr. Morgan, I completely understand your own circumstances, and I also believe in you."

"Believe… in me?"

"I fundamentally believe that a failure is merely a delayed success, Mr. Morgan. Your defeat is never truly an end to your quest, because you get to live for today and fight for tomorrow. Learn from your failures and rise up stronger once again. Such is the true balance of your journey on becoming a great warrior." Ozpin stated.

"He's right, Kyle! I mean, it's not like anyone has a chance like this, right?" Ruby said. "You can still prove yourself! Don't worry!"

"You guys…" Kyle sighed. "I guess this is really the start of my journey, huh?"

"And speaking of journey…" Ozpin then took out what appeared to be a coupon. "I will grant you a little gift for a free one night sleepover in Grandeur's Motel."

"Ehh!?" Ruby gawked.

"W-wait, really? a motel?"

"Ozpin, please! Isn't that a bit too much?" Glynda baffled.

"My offer still stands at least until the next night. We will begin the assembly the day after tomorrow. I suggest you too use your time well, and whatever your choice is, we certainly hope that it is for the best. What do you say."

"W-well…" Kyle, still a bit hesitant, replied. "Yes sir. I'll consider your offer once again. But for now… I think I might gonna need a rest."

---

A few minutes later…

In all honesty, the two expert Huntsmen were relieved that their interrogation turned out to be a student application interview. Not only with the fact that there were two, but they were also willing to fight the Spider Kaijin valiantly as a full-fledged Huntsmen would. After Kyle left the room, given with the directions to the said motel, along with Ruby who said that her sister would pick her up, Ozpin and Glynda went to find an empty alley to contact a particular person.

"We should let him know." Ozpin ordered.

"Are you sure? It's been a long time, anyway." Glynda doubted.

"Yes it has, Glynda. And if what Mr. Morgan told us is true, then we need all the help we could get, including our… very special colleagues."

The blonde Huntress sighed as she contacted their person of interest through her tablet. "Very well. It's your call."

"This is Headmaster Ozpin speaking." Were the first words Ozpin spoke out towards the screen that displayed the 'voice only' contact person.

"Well, hello there! Been a long while isn't it?" the voice greeted. "Say, anything interesting to tell me?"

"You see, we happened to meet a pair of interesting individuals, one which has silver eyes and the other appears to be… a candidate of your little project."

"Wow… wait, silver eyes?"

"Yes, and it appears that she may have come from a great lineage of Huntsmen."

"I see… yeah, I remember that part all too well." The voice said.

"I'll have you know that as a young girl, she is very enthusiastic of joining Beacon. I've already read her files, and despite her current study in Signal, I'd like to enlist her as my student as quickly as possible. You can see her files and the town's recent footage from here, if you may." Ozpin said, instructing Glynda to send the files from her tablet.

"Okay. Hmm… she's good I admit, but… you sure? She's like two years too early than your standard prefix."

"I am very convinced by her capabilities, and I believe that she would make a great Huntress should she receive the proper education."

"Well then, she's a pass. Glad to hear that."

"Although, the other one seems unconvinced by our offer, at the moment."

The voice let out a heavy sigh, knowing that such thing would eventually happen. "So I've known. Still, that man is truly an object of intrigue, I say."

"Tell us, if you may."

"You see, Kyle Morgan is the man chosen to wield the new Decadriver. When we finished the Decadriver, the belt projected his image right away. Aside from the fact that the belt was built with a special substance as we spoke, we believe that the belt has developed some sort of conscience, one that enabled it to find its wearer as if he is the owner of the belt."

"So, you're saying that the Decadriver chose a random person to wield it." Glynda clarified.

"True."

"And that he was chosen without his own consent?" she pointed out skeptically.

"I'm afraid that we have no power over it. As much as we want to keep anyone, especially him, away from danger, somehow the belt kept telling us to find him like it was some sort of gut feeling or sorts. And as cautious as we want to be, we believe that this… was for the best."

"I see…"

"Something tells me that it is the most oblivious thing I've ever heard." The Huntress said.

"It may be, but I have also seen the qualities that he had as a good person. Like you, I am also convinced by the candidate that we… inadvertently chose to believe in."

"You seem to be more interested with the young man." Glynda commented.

"Well, we all know that he is not from Remnant. He might be different, but from what I've seen, he managed to put up a good fight. So, how was he?"

"He seems surprisingly calm, despite the uncertainty he had. Most people will freak out over what just happened, but somehow he could still keep calm and composed all the time."

"Either that he's well-developed mentally, or he's just tired of everything." Glynda smirked.

"Oh, cut the sass, Glyn." The man said. "Either way, I'm glad that he arrived on Remnant safely. Once he wears the new Decadriver, everything rests in his hands. He needs to… no, he must survive through the end. That is my prayer."

"Prayer, huh? Haven't had one for myself for a while…" Glynda muttered.

"Very well, we will also keep an eye for him as you wish. Though I only want to remind you that you need to be on his side if he is to become your successor… Tsukasa Kadoya."

"Don't worry, you two." Tsukasa said. "Backing this down is never an option for me."

---

The next day…

Kyle Morgan was wandering the streets once again. He pondered on the offer that the headmaster of Beacon had proposed last night. Seeing how the world worked, most of the education in there must be combat schools designed to hunt down the Grimms. It had been an occupation for the locals due to them being run amok in the wild, and of course it had been a human essence to adapt and survive.

Speaking of survival, and reflecting back on what happened to him thus far, Kyle's only hope lies in the very device he got a hold of; the Decadriver. What he expected to simply be a shop uniform turned out to be an over the top military-grade equipment that even the government had yet to develop. Then, the next thing that happened to him was being sent into a world completely alien to his, and the first thing that he encountered was a pack of overgrown werewolves. Just as soon as Kyle arrived, he already had the armor, the weapon, and the ability he needed to combat any inhumanly threats.

Although, he had to admit the pressure he felt was also something that he never had before. He knew that he felt the urge to survive, to stay live, yet he did not fret from witnessing the sight of those inhumanly beasts. It must be thanks to the vision of the mighty warriors he had witnessed before. He had somehow developed an awareness that he had already become one of them even when he still hadn't used the belt. Strange, he knew. But the last thing he ever wanted was to cower in fear. He grew tired and weary of always being underestimated and alienated. Perhaps… this was his gift.

But on the other hand, the Spider Kaijin was on a whole new level for him as he spoke before. He never felt a force so overwhelming before. Not even his dark days could be compared to this one. Still, the monster must be stopped before it could harm any more citizens. He needed to make up his lack of combat experience with the gears he had. He went to find an alley where less people pass by and seeing how casual it was to draw out a weapon as startling as Ruby's scythe, he strapped his Decadriver on which none batted their eyes on. He went to see the Ride Booker's card sets and checked on them to see if he could use any of those abilities.

The following cards available were; Kamen Ride : Decade; Attack Rides : Slash, Blast, Illusion, Invisible, Crossattack; and finally, Final Attack Ride : Decade.

The three latter Attack Rides caught his eyes. According to his observation; Illusion summons his own clone, probably up to five; Invisible was as it said; and Crossattack… it might be a temporary power boost or something. Either way, he had to finish the Kaijin off quickly using the abilities he had to his advantage. and hopefully, he could make his way out of this mess.

Somewhat…

And speaking of advantage…

"Hey, Kyle!"

"Wueh, Ruby!?" Kyle startled. "Since when did you…?"

"I went out for a morning stroll, then I saw you here." She casually replied.

"Whew, okay… okay…" he calmed himself down. "You're really good at surprising people, you know that?"

"Heheee, sorry. A bit of force of habit, sometimes. Guess I should start greeting you before I close in." she said.

"No big deal. I also tend to get myself super-focused anyway."

"Say, whatcha doin'?"

"Just checking on my equipments, is all. That Kaijin can be a pretty tough one to beat."

"It sure is. Somehow it still hurts from here." The young reaper said as she rubbed her right, slightly bruised cheek.

Seeing how she brushed it off, Kyle felt that he needed to adapt to it as well. "You're a tough one too, I see. You drink what, lots of milks?"

"Yup! Three times in a day after meal times are over."

"Cool. I love drinking milk too, actually" Kyle said, responded by Ruby's joyful giggle. "Say… was that the reason why you fight, back then?"

"Huh?"

"I mean… Isn't that why you became a Huntress? Because it was cool? You could be anything other than that, though."

"Of course! Being a Huntress means that you're going to make this world a better place. The Huntsmen are the first ones to be asked for help whenever the Grimms attack, and they're also well known throughout the history! See, my mom always used to read me stories about her and the other Huntsmen's adventures as they kill Grimms. It feels like I want to be a part of that legacy, you know?"

"A part of a legacy, huh?" Kyle pondered about the visions he had.

"So… what about you? Why did you become a Huntsman? I gotta say it again; your gears look so awesome! I've never seen a Huntsman cladded in a full armor, these days. You got the armor, the weapon, the umm… cards? I thought I saw you use cards, back then."

"Well, it was to activate my belt's command like for power-ups or something."

"Okay... so?"

"To be honest… I'm not really sure about it, now." Kyle said, much to Ruby's curiosity. "I used to think that I was sent here for some kinda purpose, that something big and bad is gonna happen to this place, and I have to stop it... At first, I thought I could beat any monsters down after I took on the Beowolves, but... the Kaijin was just too strong for me and even you to handle."

"I see...

"I'm not even sure if I could make it out the second time. I mean, what's the point of having any cool gears if I can't even use them optimally? What's the point of me being a Huntsman, a... Kamen Rider if I can't set things right?"

"Kyle, it's okay." Ruby assured. "Many people also fight as a Huntsman for many reasons; fame, fun, adventure, wanting to protect the world as a hero like me... and also from what I heard from Uncle Qrow... those that fought to simply look for their reason why."

"Fighting because looking for reasons? Like wanting to know what their purposes are?"

"Yup. Still, what you said before is right, though. It'll be a waste if you don't even know how to use your weapons." Ruby said. "But, that won't be a big deal for you! Look, you know that Beacon is the most prestigious combat academy, right? I think you should join too!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! Even if I'm already capable enough in Signal, I'm still considered a rookie too once I entered Beacon. We're still going to receive more and more training even if we're already capable of fighting. So, just take it slowly. I'm sure you'll do just fine!"

Kyle chuckled. "Wow, that was... cool for you to say, really. Back in my home, maybe you're just gonna be a laughstock, but here? Oh, I can imagine the bullies' faces when they see you kick bad guy's arses."

"Bullies, huh? That must've ticked you a lot." Ruby said.

"Doesn't it?" Kyle replied as he began his tale. "You see, back in my home I was always looked down by some of my seniors and classmates. At first I thought it was my own fault for being weak and a freak, but... the more I grow up, the more I come to think that their reason for bullying was simply because they underestimated me. there's really nothing wrong on myself and whatnot. That's why I want to get stronger, so that no one would look down on me ever again."

"See? there goes your reason to fight!"

"Really?"

"Yup! You want to get stronger so that no one would pick up on you. I get that feeling a lot you know, like how I was occasionally laughed when I said that I wanna be a hero. That's why I have to prove myself by becoming a Huntress as my true effort. And when we fulfilled our dreams, we'll stand proud in front of them!" The red reaper supported.

"Yeah... you're right." Kyle said. "And that's not all. I also want to help as many people as I can. It's what my parents and my friend usually said to me. no matter how bleak our lives are, if you can benefit other people, then you can live without regrets."

"That's a good thing to say! I'll remember that. I knew you should join Beacon too!" Ruby cheered on, much to Kyle's amusement.

"Haha, okay... I guess I'll consider that." Kyle chuckled. "Anyway, about last night, do you know what those guys are after?"

"Well, isn't it obvious? they're trying to steal Dust."

"Dust? what would they wanna do with something so contagious?"

"Wha-that's not what I meant!" Ruby pouted until, "Oh wait, you're new here, right? okay, so... this is what we call as Dust."

The Huntress showed him her red rifle magazine which contained bullets that when opened, revealed a red powder inside it. "Dust, huh? So it's like some sort of weapon or something."

"It's a crystal that contained many elements of nature, like fire, water, air, gravity, and the like. The crystal can also be made into powders for effective use of bullets. We've been using Dust for many things too, like energy and life sources."

"It's like petrol and gasoline in my home." Kyle muttered. "So, this Dust is mainly used as Weapons to Combat the Grimms, and that it contains many nature elements, right?"

"Yeah?"

"And the Grimms are creatures that lacked souls, according to Ozpin. So the most effective way to beat the soulless ones is to give the energy of life itself. Is that true?"

Ruby smiled in awe. "Five stars for our new top student, Kyle Morgan! Wow, how do you get that kind of knowledge firsthand?"

"Ruby, I may be new here, but that doesn't mean I'm helpless. It's just that I really get the gist about the parallels, and hopefully I can further expand my knowledge so that I can survive in this world."

"That's great! I'm sure you'll do just fine!" Ruby nodded. "But, haven't you been using Dust all along with that weapon of yours?"

"Hmm... not quite. I think it's using my own life energy to operate, like it's not sucking mine, but it depends on my own well-being. The same also goes for my armor, though." Kyle explained. "Well, if I recall it correctly."

"Wooow! I guess your mentor is really a pioneer for that!" Ruby gawked once again.

"Oh really?" the two laughed.

Hearing Ruby's encouraging words, he might just have a clear answer for that offer. Before he could make up his mind, the Spider Kaijin suddenly appeared and wreak havoc once again. Citizens screaming and scampering away from the crazed monster.

"Hahahaha! I'm back, you vermins! And this time, I'll feed every ounce of fear from every last one of you!" the Spider Kaijin roared.

"Looks like we're on this time, huh?" Kyle said as he drew out his Decadriver.

"Wait, Kyle!"

"Eh?"

"You should tend to the people first. I'll hold him off, this time."

"But-"

"You said you wanna help people, right? if you're still not sure about beating that Kaijin, then how about you think of something to do when you still don't have that power, yet?" Ruby instructed. "Besides, I think I can take on a punch or two from that thing."

There was a reluctance in the Rider's face. He wasn't sure if he should leave Ruby facing the Kaijin herself, and yet again, she was willing to riske her life in doing so. However, she was right about the citizens that were still in the vicinity and in need of saving. This wasn't his time to hesitate any further. He had to act, however it could be to keep innocents away from the harm's way. otherwise, he would just betray his own words.

And so, the young Rider steeled his determination and take the action.

"You're right. I'll clear the citizens, and I'll join you later."

"Fine by me. Now, let's get the job done!"

"Yep!"

After the two shared a high-five, they went on to their respective duties. Ruby quickly dashed in using her super speed power to prevent the Kaijin from pummeling a downed citizen. She swung her scythe to his chest a dozen times and shot him. He was pushed further away as Ruby hit his head with the back of her scythe.

"Please get away from here! Run if you still can!" she ordered, to which the citizens complied and quickly ran away.

"Oh, so you're that little brat from before. I was kinda hoping that the concussion would stop you from coming after me, you know?" The Spider Kaijin mocked.

"It'll take more than just a swat to stop me!"

Ruby stroke the monster once again with her streak of slash barrage. She dashed from one place to another and constantly changed her position to avoid the Kaijin's pincer attacks. The ones that kept her from further harming him were the pincers that blocked her attacks and his own thick skin. It would be very hard for her to dismember, let alone decapitate him. The Kaijin himself also got himself used to her attack patterns, making the Huntress' close-ranged combat more difficult. She tried another approach by changing her weapon to shotgun mode and using her rounds that blast fire. It did disortient the Spider Kaijin's movements, but she'd need more than that to take him down.

Meanwhile, Kyle went to save the citizens that were still in the area. He went to check on the nearby buildings to see if there were any of them still inside. The Kaijin may have did a number to the district, but it mustn't stop him to fulfill his duty.

"Come on, this way! make sure you're far enough from here!" he said to the citizens he found and escorted them away.

There were some that he had to help getting their feet back on. Some were a full family who happened to be on a vacation. Police officers also arrived on the scene to help the citizens get away. They knew that a Huntress was trying to drive the monster away, and just like him, they were doing everything they can to keep them safe.

One of the officers went to Kyle and said, "Hey, nice work getting people out here safely."

"Always been happy to help, sir."

"So, uhh... do you know what exactly that thing is? it doesn't look much of an ordinary Grimm to me."

"It's called a Kaijin, sir." Kyle said. "As to what it really is... I'm not sure what kind of thing that is."

"I see... either way, we still have more people to rescue. Can you still help us out?"

"Sure thing."

As they were about to continue their duty, Kyle witnessed a woman carrying her child to get away from the scene. The fight on the other side was intense as Ruby was kept busy by the Spider Kaijin. she slowly managed to get herself closer and closer to the Kaijin's reach, forcing him to use a massive ground pound that broke the street all the way. Ruby dodged the attack, but it was directed towards the woman and the child. The woman fell down as her child ran off and worse, the building above her was about to colapse. The child couldn't do anything but to watch as a huge debris was about to fall down to the woman.

"Mommy!"

Ruby gasped, "Look out!"

"No! Not on my watch!"

"H-hey!"

A strong instinct drove Kyle to rush towards the fallen woman. He quickly strapped his Decadriver on and took out his Kamen Ride card.

KAMEN RIDE :

"Henshin!"

DECADE!

As the Decade armor wrapped him up, he covered the woman with his own body as the debris fell onto them. Everyone present, including the citizens were filled with immense horror, fearing that the two might not make it out. Ruby's hand shook after she witnessed it. the child almost cried as if the woman and the young man were forever lost, much to the Kaijin's delight knowing that he could feed off the negative energy himself, soon.

Suddenly...

Decade punched his way out from the debris. His hand rose out as he cleared them away and took the woman out with him, safe and sound. Everyone cheered, knowing that both of them are fine. Ruby smiled at the scene, much to the Kaijin's dismay. The Rider then guided the woman to the child.

"Are you alright? Any wounds?"

"I'm fine thanks to you."

"Mommy! You're okay!"

"It's alright, honey. Mommy's here."

Ruby turned back to the monster, "See that, Kaijin? in the end, justice will always find its way to win and safe the day."

"Hmph, nonsense! The woman might be safe, but I doubt the same will happen to you!"

"We'll see about that!"

The hooded Huntress continued her fight by swinging her weapon against the monster's pincers. Slowly, the two were evenly matched. Ruby had memorized the Spider Kaijin's attack patterns, enabling her to quickly defend most of her blind spots. She thought about an attempt o cut the pincers off since they looked so fragile. But again, it goes back to the fact of how thick the creature's skin was.

As for the armored warrior, he went to check for the remaining citizens. "Okay... is this all of them?"

"Hopefully. We've already swept the rest of the locations while you were busy, too."

"Thank God." He sighed.

"Will you... umm..." the kid spoke shyly.

"Yeah? Anything?" the Rider spoke, lowering his body to the child's level.

"Will you and the Huntress beat that monster up?"

Decade smiled underneath his helmet. "Yeah. I will. Now don't you worry, I'm gonna try my best to keep the folks here safe. I mean, that's why the Huntsmen are here, right?"

The child nodded, "Yup!"

"Now make sure you and the folks are safe, okay?" he turned to the kid, in which he accepted. "Alright, I'm going to assist the Huntress. Officer, please guide them far away from here."

"You can count on us, sir. Come on folks, this way!" the police officer said, taking the civillians to safety.

"I understand it now... I know that I have the strength to help others, just like how my ideals would be. I have the power to do more... and the will to do so. Yeah. Guess that's what I've been missing." The Rider muttered under his helmet, clenching his fist as he steeled his will once more. "Now then..."

The warrior turned his attention towards his target, with Ruby could barely hold herself long enough until the citizens were safe. Her swings were still as fast as ever, but the Kaijin managed to get ahold of her weapon and tossed her away to the oncoming Rider. The latter quickly caught her, but not before he set up another trick as he spun.

ATTACK RIDE : BLAST!

The attack hit the Kaijin's head, immediately knocking him out of his stand. Ruby was genuinely surprised to see Kyle's performance as he became more determined than before. Could it be that he still have more than what he seemed to be? Moreover, who is this guy, really?

"You still good?"

Ruby was snapped out of her thought-processing trance. A slight "Huh? Oh, yeah! Umm... I-I can still go on! Don't worry!"

"Good, 'cause this one's gonna be a tough cookie."

"COOKIE!?" Ruby's eyes gleamed upon the word, also showing her fondness of it.

"Yeah. Now let's go get him." He smirked.

"Alright! Oh, Umm... Kyle?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you... can you please let me go now?"

"Oh... right." Decade chuckled, knowing how precarious their position was with him still holding Ruby in his left arm.

"Ugh, lovebirds..." the monster muttered displeasantly. "Then I'll make sure to get rid of you both, at once!"

The battle continued once again. Ruby stroke the Spider Kaijin with her scythe as Decade went under his gut to barrage-punch it. he made sure every single hit was empowered by his gauntlet's hydraulic muscles so that it'd feel less like punching a wall. However, the Rider was forced to cancel it and rolled away along with the hooded Huntress as the monster's pincers attacked them. Not willing to give up, Ruby focused her attention to the said pincers.

The Kaijin retaliated using his still durable pincers to block and pierce the Huntress' blind spots. Ruby was barely able to hold herself together as she constantly speed up using her ability and left rose petals in her wake. Though it still left its arms free to strike her, Decade shot them along with his torso using the Ride Booker gun. It immediately caught the monster's attention, with the latter quickly pushed Ruby away and threw a nearby damaged car to his way. it was thrown so fast it barely hit the armored warrior's helmet as he dodged it by going under the car. Thankfully, there were no one behind him.

"Whew, that's really gonna have a mark on my chin!" he breathed off.

Seeing this, Ruby decided to back away by flipping back and firing her weapon to the Kaijin, throwing him off a few meters away. "Kyle! Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, just almost got my jaw broken by a piece of automotive carriage." Decade replied, rubbing his helmet's chin guard.

"That doesn't sound relieving, at all..." she deadpanned, unsure if she ever should be relieved at all.

"What about you?"

"Still kickin'!" Ruby chirped. "But that thing's not only tough, his skin's also thick! Even with my weapon, it won't be enough to cut something off of him."

"I see. okay, there's something I wanna try. Can you still use that super-speed stuff?"

"Probably a couple of times before I'm super exhausted."

"Good. I'll try to back you up with this." He then decided to take another card with a picture of five Decades in it. "Okay, so this must be, uhh... shadow clone summons, I guess?"

ATTACK RIDE : ILLUSION!

The card's command summoned two grey static gates, which became copies of Decade himself, much to Ruby's shock. Imagine a Huntsman, who can summon his own armor to use, is also capable of summoning clones with him! Now this is something people don't get to see often these days.

"Let's see if the power of numbers can even the odds." He muttered

"Whoa! How...? did that card that you used for...?"

"Yep. Looks like it." Decade replied. "Oh, they even got cameras on my screen, too. That's just convenient."

"Just so you know, numbers won't scare the hell out of me, Rider!"

"Then let's see if my math scares you, instead!"

As the middle, original Decade raised his fists, the copies raised their weapons in their different respective modes. Decade charged in first by aiming his fist right to the monster's face ,which was easily blocked. He then used his other hand to strike back and kicked the enemy's groin hard. It didn't budge him off, however, with the Rider beung at a disadvantage as the Spider Kaijin knee-charged him and pinned him down to the ground. The Rider couldn't do anything but to wait for the pincers to strike him down.

The assault didn't stop as the 'swordsman' Decade protected the original by clashing his sword against the pincers. The clone pushed the monster away to give the original some time to recuperate. He started by clashing against its razor-sharp edges to slicing off its joints. Just as Ruby said, normal attacks wouldn't cut it off. When the Kaijin was open, the 'gunner' Decade shot its body and sent sparks off of it. despite the numerous attacks by the 'swordsman', the former ignored his attacks to lunge at the 'gunner', who could barely dodge its ground pound. The downed 'gunner' was crushed by the Spider Kaijin's fist right to the helmet, causing the clone to vanish into card-shaped pixels.

"I know that your clones are the only ones carrying the weapons, Decade." The Kaijin spoke. "But the fact that you're using cannon fodders just to get to me annoys me a lot. And you're gonna pay!"

"Oh don't worry, 'cause I'm here to disappoint you!" Decade spat.

Agitated, he then rushed towards the other two Decades that attempted to attack him at once. The 'swordsman' struck the monster's arm as the original launched his fist to him. The Kaijin expected it and went to block the attack, only to realize that it was a mere faint as the said Decade sled under him. While he was distracted, the 'swordsman' activated his Attack Ride card.

ATTACK RIDE : SLASH!

After the sword's edge glowed with magenta energy, the clone delivered a barrage of slashes to the Kaijin. one attack equals twenty swords slashing him all at once. The final heavy slash took a form of four spectral blades aligned with the Ride Booker sword. The attack damaged his torso and threw him back a few inches away. He skidded with his legs and pincers to keep him from falling.

"Looks like you give me no choice, Rider..."

The Spider Kaijin covered his mandibles with his right arm and clenched it as he noticed the original Decade was about to kick him. The former suddenly let out a purple sphere that spat sticky webs to his helmet when he was just a few inches away. It also tied his arms to his body. With him unable to see his target and being uncomposed, the monster easily dodged the attack as Decade crashed down to the ground. The swordsman tried to defend him, but the Kaijin swept the clone away and proceeded to strike down the original Decade. However, Ruby dashed in to block his attacking pincers, and the downed Decade recognized her grunting sound.

"Ughhh...!"

"Ruby? Is that you?" he spoke wearily.

"Th-there's no way I'm standing still forever!" she grunted. "And there's no way I'm letting you lose your life, right now! Not. On. My. WATCH!"

The hooded Huntress broke the tie by swiping her weapon up, setting her fire Dust clip on as she twirled it, and blasted the Spider Kaijin away. The Kaijin was downed, but still alive despite the amount of damage he received. This gave Decade a time to free himself from the web with the 'swordsman' clone's help. Ruby also regrouped with him, in the meantime.

"Are you okay, Kyle?" she said as she and the clone helped the Rider regain his stand.

"Still breathing... but honestly, that web blast was unexpected. That, and his pincers kept us off of him big time. Even with our attacks, I don't think we'll be able to make this quick... and I'm afraid we don't have enough juice left for another long hour."

"Kyle... Decade." Ruby addressed his codename. "We can get through this. We have the strength to do more, and the will to do it. we can't let everyone in this city down. You might say that you're new to this monster hunting thing but all in all, we're practically Huntsmen, Kyle. And this... is what we signed up for. I guess that goes for the same with Kamen Rider Decade, right?"

"I... yeah. You're right. we can get through this!" Decade nodded. "The thing is, we're still barely able to keep his pincers and webs off from us." Decade panted.

"No, not quite."

"Eh?"

"You see that graze marks on his pincers? Just a few charges more and we'll be able to cut it off. We just need to keep on pushing through."

"Hey, you're right though." Decade agreed. "and I think I just know how we get the job done less exhaustingly. There's something I wanna try and in the meantime, try to buy some time with my clone."

"Umm... okay?"

Decade then took out another card that had a picture of the Decade armor fading away. Which means...

ATTACK RIDE : INVISIBLE!

Invisibility, indeed. Decade vanished into card pixels as he moved away, leaving Ruby and the 'swordsman' Decade to face the returning horror in front of them. Meanwhile, Ruby Rose was left surprised by the abilities he had. At first, he could summon an armor, then he was able to create clones of him, and there's also invisibility! Seriously, what else he had under his pocket?

"H-hello? Is this working?"

"Eh!? You... you talked!"

"Oh sorry, I was trying to direct my comms to here so I can still coordinate our attacks together. It feels like controlling a drone with a camera. Kinda feels cool knowing this works, though." He chuckled.

"O-okay... wow."

"Now we'd better get this done. He's up again." Decade said as he ran his hand through the edge of his sword. He had to admit that it was sharp, but thankfully his gloves prevented him from bleeding by accident.

The Spider Kaijin rose up more furious than ever, forcing our heroes to engage him once more by clashing their weapons against his pincers. The Decade clone blocked the pincers to give Ruby a room to strike the Kaijin right to his chest. At first, the Spider Kaijin could still shrug it off, but the more they attacked him and constantly changed their positions between blocker and striker, the Kaijin could feel that his stamina was gradually weakening.

He thought that he could strike them all down by himself. he was wrong. The heroes backed up each other when any of them was exhausted, so that they could take turns in attacking him. Despite sharing the same exhaustion, there was something that the Kaijin was lacking: the will to protect the people of this city. Both of them knew that their lives are far more precious than some corny ambition to rule over the world, and they believed in it. it pushed them through to this very moment, and as for Decade... he was cleared off his doubts.

However, the rampaging monster was not without his feats. He began to rely more on his web blast to constrict his enemies and lock their movements. This forced them to cancel their barrage and went evasive. Ruby switched her weapon to it's long-range mode, and the same also goes for Decade. They fired their shots to further damage the monster as the latter kept on spewing more and more webs. After withstanding numerous blasts, the Spider Kaijin was about to shoot his web to Ruby, only for it to be a feint as his true target was the Decade clone after all.

The fact that he shot a huge ball of web was an enough proof that he wouldn't mess around. The web completely constricted his body, rendering him immobile. The hooded Huntress dashed towards the Kaijin, only to be bashed away towards the streets. She could feel her energy faltering, and she could only watch as the monster countlessly crushing the clone with his fists and feet.

"Ruby..."

"Decade!"

"It's fine! All you have to do..." he said "Is to make the call!"

Rubby didn't take too long to figure out what 'the call' means. "Okay. I get it!"

"Good. I'm leaving this to you."

And with those words, the clone finally vanished after receiving an amount of lethal damage to any human beings.

Ruby Rose, however, was not happy at all. She knew that it was just a clone, but the fact that this Kaijin didn't hesitate at all was very unsettling. That could happen to anyone should they never interfere at all. She finally made up her mind that this Kaijin was a very serious threat to the people, and that he must be stopped at all costs. She gripped her weapon tightly and mustered the same resolve that she had when she was dealing with the thugs last night.

Only this time... she was super serious. She had to end it once and for all. And on top of that, she was playing with the Rider's cards as of the moment.

"You're next... puny Huntress." The Kaijin taunted.

"You know what? I'm going to make sure that calling me 'puny' is your biggest regret!"

Ruby blurred into rose petals as she made her way towards the Kaijin. she swung her weapon as quickly as she could and twirled it for a barrage. The Spider Kaijin countered it with his pincer limbs to cover his body. although it seemed evenly matched, if being looked closely, Ruby was aiming for the said pincers' joints that were already grazed by the attacks. Like before, she also constantly changing her position and shooting her weapon's gun portion to navigate the battlefield. knowing that she would get webbed if she kept on striking the front, she chose to get on the monster's back to further damage the limbs. The graze marks slowly became more visible as the Kaijin began to feel a twitching pain on them.

As he was unable to further use the pincers, he resorted back to his web. Knowing this too, Ruby went to his front and set up her fire Dust clip. She had no choice but to confront him face front. The two shot their weapons with Ruby having a trouble aming to his mandibles at first due to her dodging the web blasts at the same time. after a couple of shots, the two locked their positions and fired their weapons in a quick draw. The blasts passed through each other, ended with the web hitting Ruby's scythe gun and the fire Dust hitting his mandibles. He roared in pain as the fire burned his only resort of survival.

And that is where Ruby call the shots.

"Decade, now!"

ATTACK RIDE : BLAST!

The sheer power of the command completely burned down the monster's mandibles. With his ability to shoot webs being wiped out, all that is left was to cut the deadwight pincers and finish him once and for all. The heroes' efforts had finally come to fruition.

Despite this, he could still speak. At least, to express his complaint.

"H-how... how could mere humans defeat me like this!?"

"How, you ask? Simple. It's because you underestimated us."

"What!?"

"See, you thought you're strong and that you could crush every single human in less than seconds. You thought that you could take everything you want. The thing is, no you can't." Decade said as he dusted his hands. "This world has its own protectors, the Huntsman. They gave their all so that they can keep the people safe. The same goes for me as a Kamen Rider, too. Heck, I dare to say that we shared the same ideals with each other."

"Kyle..."

"I realize it now. Even if you could beat me last night, the fact that I'm still alive in here means that I can always get back to you. I have the power to do more, and I have the will to do so. This is what I've always wanted, even if I got it in the most bizzarre way possible. From here on, I'm going to help the Huntsman to get rid the likes of you and the Grimms. I'll carry on the legacy of mighty warriors that has been passed down to me. I'll protect this world and I'll pass through the odds to hunt you down... For I am Kamen Rider Decade!"

"You... curse you, Decade!"

"Shall we end this, Rubes?" Decade asked.

"Let's do it!" Ruby replied.

Despite the Kaijin's spiteful roar, our heroes didn't falter behind. They armed themselves with their respective weapons and prepared their next move. Decade then took out a new card, with a picture of him clenching both of his hands to the back, and the background was his Rider symbol spreading some circuitry lines. As he inserted it to the Decadriver, it announced the card's written text.

ATTACK RIDE : CROSSATTACK!

As the name implied, not only Decade's Ride Booker who was powered up by the command, but also Ruby's, who was surprised yet amazed as well. The two set their weapons to their long-range configs. They fired their weapons rapidly as they marched towards the Spider Kaijin, sparking his body. The monster was pushed back due to the firing power they had. When they got close enough, they quickly shifted their weapons into their respective close-range modes, striking their opponent a few times before delivering a heavy blow, which cost the monster his spider pincer legs.

"I-impossible!" the Kaijin growled."You all won't get away with this! Soon, the Dai-Shocker will rule over Remnant!"

"Dai-Shocker, eh? Then we'll just have to make sure it won't be today... and for eternity." He muttered as he pulled his finisher card, depicted by his gold-colored symbol at the center. He inserted it as it announced :

FINAL ATTACK RIDE :

"And now, the finale!" he closed his Driver.

DE-DE-DE-DECADE!

He jumped in mid-air as ten holographic Decade symbol cards appeared in front of him. He delivered a flying side-kick at the enemy, reinforced by a magnetic pull in his kicking right boot towards the enemy. As he went through the cards, his kicking power kept rising to the point that he managed to pierce through the Spider Kaijin, before the monster exploded upon contact and roared in pain.

"So… this is the World of Remnant." He panted. "Kinda feels like a tale of fantasies written out from a book. But that's just my thing... I guess..."

Meanwhile,in a place not too far...

"So, what do you think of those two?" Tsukasa asked his associate.

Ozpin replied. "Ruby Rose knows how to make a quick call and act based on her decision. She might be young, but seeing her track record in Signal convinced me a lot about her. She has the skills and the attitude needed to become a full-fledged Huntress. That is, if she is trained properly."

"I see. and what of him?"

"I might have yet to know Kyle Morgan that much, but... despite the fact that this is a whole new thing to him, he faced them as calm as he could. In the midst of the battle, he was able to pull off ideas that are proven beneficial. I must say I'm quite surprised that he stood firm to his duty to fight after all the doubts he said to us last night. It seems that it wouldn't take long for him to figure out what he needs to do here."

"I believe it's called commitment, Oz." Tsukasa said. "And I've finally get the gist of them. But seriously, did you pick Ruby just because she has silver eyes? she's even two years early from even graduating a junior Huntsmen academy."

"Yes, and I'd like to bring her to my fold as soon as possible. Don't you think the same goes to you as well?" Ozpin countered.

Tsukasa sighed. "Now that you say it, though..."

"No matter how much we'd like to keep them away from the danger, deep down we know that sooner or later, it's the danger itself that will come after them. they will always be bound by that iron rule." Ozpin lamented.

"And we must be ready to guide them when the time comes, right?"

"Then our mindsets aligned one another." Ozpin smiled. "So, what are you going to do from now on? Especially that you also have to look after him."

"After my thorough examination..." Tsukasa said. "I think he can handle things well on his own. Even if I were about to watch over him, that doesn't mean I'm pampering him too much. So, as much as I want to support him... I'd also like to believe in his power, that he can also reach out to those he hold dear."

"Believe, you say?" Ozpin replied.

"After all... he's the next Decade." Tsukasa left towards the grey veil portal that formed behind him, leaving Ozpin to approach the victors of the battle.

---

Decade kept breathing heavily from his exhaustion as he detransformed. The usage surely left an amount of strain to his body. perhaps, his physiology was still adapting to both his armor and the World of Remnant. Ruby rushed in to congratulate him by offering a high five.

"Wohooo! We did it, Kyle!"

"Hell yeah we did." He grinned, accepting her high-five.

"I can't believe we're so cool while doing it! Oh, what was that attack called, Crossattack? I mean, I get to do a combo finisher with you! Wow, it's like we've been doing this in the most stylish way possible!"

"It's all thanks to our cool gears and wits." He winked at her.

"I know, right? I know, right!?"

Ozpin then approached them. "Ms. Rose, Mr. Morgan."

"Oh, Professor Ozpin!" Ruby greeted.

"Afternoon, sir." Kyle followed. "Honestly, I was expecting either you or Ms. Goodwitch to show up."

"We were assigned to another location at the time, but I also use some of my spare time to observe the two of you. And I must say that you two are fitting candidates to enter BeaconAcademy." Ozpin informed.

"Wooow... so you've been wathcing us the whole time." Ruby said.

"I kinda get the feeling that you guys don't really wanna pamper us around, but I think it's fine. We saved the day and the people of this city. No one's injured. Plus, we finally got rid of the Kaijin, too." Kyle reported.

"As expected of you. Your calm demenaor still surprises me, somewhat. And your answer, Mr. Morgan?"

"I'm in." Kyle answered. "I understand it all, now. I can do more in this world with the power I got, and I think I'm gonna need more help if there's still more of those creatures around. I believe the only way to get it is to enter your academy. Perhaps, I can get to know more about this world while training under your tutelage."

"Very well." Ozpin accepted.

"That's great, Kyle!" Ruby congratulated. "Now we both can be great Huntsmen, too!"

"Huntsmen, huh? I'd like to think that a Kamen Rider like me is a new breed of specially-equipped Huntsman."

"Hmm, don't you think it's flattering yourself too much?"

"It's more like I'm mashing up Huntsman and Kamen Rider. I feel like I don't wanna put one of them away."

"I think that could work well!"

The headmaster chuckled, to which he finally brought up his long-awaited question. "Now that makes me wonder, Kyle Morgan. Where did you came from?"

Ozpin's question made Kyle flinched. He had been trying to avoid further questions regarding as possible as he could, seeing that the truth would cause unwanted attention. Moreover, He didn't want any sensitive information to fall into the wrong hands. Now that Ozpin demanded the answer, he had to come up with a reasonable one.

"Well, uhh…. It's a long story." Kyle proceeded to tell his tale nervously.

(A/N)

And now, RWBY : DCD has reached its 2nd stop.

It's been 2 chapters already and as a gratitude for your supports, I'd like to give you some of my thoughts this whole time. I always imagine the Kamen Rider suits as 'beyond military-grade armors' as they are originated from various backgrounds, ranging from ancient civilization, body surgeries to technologies beyond human thoughts. Think of it as a mixture between the original sleek design and the SIC toyline's dark and gritty design added with some Iron Man vibes, too.

For those of you who are still wondering, the Kaijin race is also one of my original ideas aside from the Decade V2.0 system. Seeing that the original TV series villains consisted of past villain races (Undeads, Orpnochs, etc.), I decided to bring an original villain race for this fanfic. Although, I might bring back some TV series villains in one way or another.

Edit: So! After receiving an input from EternalKing , I've decided to heavily rework this chapter! Though it's not as much as changing the structure of the entire story, I'd like to make thes fanfic as believable as possible so that I can set this as an example if I were to become a story/scriptwriter for Tokusatsu shows, which is my current dream. New ideas comes forth and goes. That's why I want to make this fanfic as good as possible.

Are the Kaijins truly a new breed of Grimms? Is Dai-Shocker really up to something in Remnant? Stay tune for more chapters.

Until next time.
