Hey guys and gals, welcome back to rising remnant 01 and this time around we're finally at the end of Rwby Volume 1.
Yeah, this was a lot shorter wait than I expected, probably cause I started the story right in the middle of the volume then later on.
Anyways this chapter will be more focused on Azure, and his back story so I hope you guys look forward to that.
But with that said, let's do this.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my Oc's
Opening: Union from Gridman
Dreamscape
Third-person P.O.V.
In the middle of the woods, we see some smoke coming from the forest.
We look to see where the smoke was coming from, where we see a large house on fire.
A young boy ran from the forest shocked at the sight of the house on fire.
"N-No… what's happening!" He said, running towards the fire.
The buy looked about 14 years old, he had curly brown hair with tanned skin and blue eyes. He wore a white shirt and a navy sleeveless blazer and black trousers and shoes.
"Who did this, who would burn down our home like this," he said, running towards the house before freezing at what he saw.
His home was burnt down to the ground, as he was his guardians defending themselves from some White Fang soldier, whilst others brought the other kids in his home into a truck.
"Let them go!" His Guardian said as he ran towards the soldiers.
However, one soldier was stabbed into his chest, before commanding the other soldiers to fire at the other guardians.
The man who seemed to be leading them was a young man about 19 years old with slicked-back red hair and black bull-like horns with a white mask. He wore a long black trench coat with a redshirt underneath and black trousers.
"Get the kids out of here, they don't need to worry about these humans anymore," he said, getting on their transport which was large bullhead as it began flying away.
As the bullheads walked away the boy soon got back up and walked through the remains of his once-beloved home.
"Why… why would do all of this" he growled, gripping his hand as he looked up to the flying bullhead.
"I swear! I'll turn all you jerks into scrap! Even if it kills me!" He screamed, into the air tears running down his face, as the scene then turned white.
"Gah!" Azure yelled, suddenly jumping from his bed in one of the spare beacon dorms. The Hunter soon looked around to see there was no one else in the room except him and Sepia who slept on the other bed.
"So it was just that dream again…" he said, laying back down to get some more sleep.
Chapter 8: The runaway cat and the wolf's rage
Vale
Docks
Alex P.O.V.
"Okay, now this is pretty cool," I said, looking around.
Me, Marine and Team Rwby were walking around the city of vale which was decorated with Red, yellow, and green streamers and balloons which were displayed all over the street.
My eyes then darted over to Weiss who was looking extremely excited with a big smile on her face "The Vytal Festival! Oh, this is wonderful!" Weiss said, looking around in awe.
"I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much, Weiss." Ruby said, looking at her partner while frowning slightly "It's kinda weirding me out...".
This made me snicker, as Weiss quickly spun around "How could you not smile? A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances! Parades! A tournament! Oh, the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking!".
"And once again miss ice queen turns something fun into something boring" Yang joked, as I elbowed her arm.
"Oh come on Yang, I think this looks pretty cool" I smiled, looking around.
"May I ask, what is the Vytal festival exactly?" Marine asked as Blake glanced at her.
"It's a festival celebrating the ending of the Great War eight years ago" she explained, "It usually happens every two years in a different kingdom. There's usually dances, parades and even a combat tournament" she concluded, as we nodded.
We then all got a scent of fish as we made it to the docks of the vale.
"Remind me again why we are spending our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid docks?" Yang asked as we walked over to the railings of the docks.
"Ugh, they smell like fish," Ruby said while holding her nose, probably regretting that she sniffed the ocean air.
"I've heard that students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today. And as a representative of Beacon, I feel as if it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom." Weiss said as we started to walk again.
"She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament." Blake nonchalantly said.
"Oh geez Weiss, never thought you'd be the cheating type" I joked, making her face turns red.
"What! No! You can't prove anything!" Weiss denied, whilst crossing her arms.
"Sure" I shrugged, turning around.
Ruby snickered at this interaction, before noticing something up the road "Woah".
I followed her gaze to see that a dust shop up the road had been robbed "What happened here?" Ruby asked.
"No idea, probably a robbery something like what happened the other day," I said, before noticing some familiar people among the others.
"Is that…" I said, before turning to the others "I'll be right back" I said, before running up to the crime scene.
"Azure! Sepia!" I called, as the two turned to me.
"Alex, you're here as well?" Sepia asked as I nodded.
"Yeah, me and the others we're just checking the docks but what happened here," I asked.
"It's a dust robbery, the second one this week I've heard," Azure said "But what's strange is they just stole the dust, none of the cash" he explained.
"Hmm, maybe it's so they can jack up the prices of the dust? To sell later" I guessed, as Sepia nodded.
"Maybe, or they could be using it for something worse like an army… like the white fang," she said, as Azure growled.
"The White Fang… those hypocritical bastards" he growled, his voice filled with hatred.
Blake heard this and began walking up to us "What's your problem".
"What are you talking about?" He asked as Blake pointed at him "The white fang, what's your problem with them".
"What are you talking about Blake, they're just an awful bunch of degenerates!" Weiss said as she and the riders walked up to us a well.
"You too, what's your problem," Blake said, as Weiss scoffed.
"My problem? I simply just don't care for the criminally insane" Weiss explained, as Azure walked up to Blake.
"Exactly, there not some force trying to make a better world for Faunus, their terrorists as simple as that," he said, making Blake grip her hand.
"The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths and terrorists," Blake responded, crossing her arms. "They're just a collection of misguided Faunus."
"Misguided? They want to wipe humanity off the face of the planet!" Weiss yelled, her eyes narrowing.
"So then they're very misguided" Blake continued. "Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale!"
"Hmm... Blake's got a point." Ruby cut in. "Besides, the police never caught that Torchwick guy I ran into before joining Beacon... Maybe it was him."
"Uh, what's the white fang?" I asked, moving up to Yang,
"The White fang? They're a group of Faunus that wants to make the Faunus the leaders of the world" she explained, as I nodded.
"That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang are a bunch of scum." Azure continued, as a wave of anger went around Blake.
"They say they want to make a better world for Faunus but they don't consider what their actions do to other Faunus who want to live in peace or who they hurt," Azure said.
"They're not all like that…" Blake said, looking away.
"Hey! Stop that Faunus!"
We suddenly heard the sound of running as walked up to the dock to see a Faunus with a golden monkey tail ran down the length of the boat before leaping onto the edge as two sailors closed in on the Faunus.
The Faunus had golden yellow hair and wore a white open shirt with a necklace around his neck. He also had a pair of blue shorts and black shoes with red and black gloves.
"Thanks for the ride, guys! Haha!" He laughed, jumping off the boat before landing on the ground and sprinting through the docks.
"You no good stowaway!" One of the sailors yelled out.
"Hey! A no-good stowaway would've been caught! I'm a great stowaway!" The Faunus said as he landed on top of a lamppost, using his tail to hang on it while eating a banana.
One of the Sailors attempted to stop him by throwing a stone at the Monkey Faunus but the Faunus simply tossed a banana peel on one of their faces.
The Faunus then hit the ground and broke into a sprint, passing by us as he made his escape, followed quickly by his pursuers.
"Oi! Get back here!" Azure yelled as he chased after the stowaway Faunus.
"Hey! Azure doesn't just run off!" Sepia said, chasing after him.
"Well, Weiss, you wanted to see the competition, and there it goes..." Yang said, watching as the Faunus got further and further away.
"Quickly! After him!" Weiss yelled as she, Ruby, Yanga had Amrine chased after the Faunus.
I was about to follow but then noticed Blake looking down "You coming, Blake?" I asked, making her lookup.
"Huh? Oh right sure" she said, as we caught up with the others.
I and Blake turned the corner to see that Weiss had bumped into someone, making them birch fall as the Faunus was able to escape, with Azure and Sepia after him.
"No! He got away" Weiss cried.
"Uuuuhhh… Weiss?" Yang said, pointing to the person Weiss fell on top.
Weiss quickly yelped, jumping off of the girl.
"Salutations!" she said, with a smile.
She had orange curly hair with green eyes and freckles on her face, with a pink bow on the back of her head. She wore grey garments that were styled like a blouse, as well as black stockings with green lines going up the legs. She also had a gold earpiece at the sides of her ears.
"Uh… Hello?" Ruby said, awkwardly.
"You… okay down there?" Yang asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes I am thank you for asking" she happily said.
"You… you wanna get up from there," I asked.
The girl was silent for a few seconds before her smile came back.
"…Yes!" She said, leaping back to a stand as everyone else took a step back. "My name is Penny! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Hi Penny, I'm Ruby," Ruby said, standing up straight.
"I'm Weiss," she said, moving her head.
"Blake…" she said urn a nod.
"Are you sure you didn't hit your head?" Yang said, before getting in the arm by Blake "Oh, and I'm Yang".
"I'm Alex," I said, before turning to Sis "And this is- Huh?".
When we looked over to Sis she seemed to be scanning Penny for some reason "Uh, Marine?".
"Hm? Yes," she asked.
"Are you going to introduce yourself?" I asked as she nodded.
"Yes greetings, I am Marine!" She said, with a bow.
"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Penny said, still with a smile.
Weiss looked at the girl in confusion. "You already said that".
"….So I did!"
"...Right…" I said, blinking at the girl.
"Well, sorry for running into you!" Weiss said, turning around.
Ruby waved her arm as she turned around. "Take care, friend!"
Marine looked at Ruby before mimicking her "Goodbye friend" she said, as we walked off.
"She was... weird..." Yang said as I nodded.
"Weird… Yeah, that fits but she seems harmless enough".
"Now, where did that Faunus riff-raff go to," Weiss said, before suddenly being met with Penny.
"What did you call me?" Penny asked, as she suddenly appeared in front of us.
I looked back from where Penny was just a second ago to where she was now and repeated this action a few times 'How the heck did she do that?!'.
"Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't think you heard that" Yang apologised.
"No, not you," Penny said, walking past Ruby and Marine "You two".
Ruby was forced to lean back slightly at the sudden invasion of her personal space. "Me? I-I don't know. I, what I, um, uh..."
"What did we do?" Marine asked, turning her head in confusion.
"You called me your friend! Am I your friend?" she asked.
"Uuhhh…" Ruby said, looking behind Penny to her teammates who were all shaking their heads no.
Marine looked over to me, and I smiled giving her a thumbs up.
'Why not, it'll be good for Marine to have more friends separate from me' I thought, as she nodded.
"Yes, I would very much like to be your friend" Marine said, as Ruby nodded with her.
"Y-Yeah, same why not" she agreed, making her teammates fall like in an anime.
"Sensational!" Penny cheered, pure happiness in her voice "We can paint our nails! And try on clothes! And talk about cute boys like him!" Penny said, pointing to me.
Gotta admit, that made me rub my head a bit in embarrassment.
"Is this what I was like when you first met me?" Ruby asked, moving close to Weiss.
Weiss paused for a moment before speaking up "No… she seems more coordinated".
"So Penny, what are you doing here in Vale," Yang asked, making the girl smile.
"I'm here to fight in the tournament of course" Penny smiled, making us all blink in surprise.
"You're going to be fighting in the tournament?" Blake asked, with a raised eyebrow making the girl salute.
"That's right! I'm combat-ready" she smiled.
"Forgive me, but you don't look the part," Weiss said, as I looked over to Weiss.
"Say's the girl in the dress," I said, making Weiss cross her arms.
"It's a combat skirt," she said, before being met with a high five from Ruby and Marine.
"You know it," Ruby said, with a smile.
"Wait a minute…" Weiss said, an idea coming to mind "If you're here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey tailed rapscallion?".
When Weiss said that, I could see that Blake was now glaring at the Heiress.
"The who?" Penny asked, making Weiss groan and pull out a badly drawn picture of the Faunus.
"You know, the filthy Faunus from the boat," she said, making Blake growled even more.
"Why do you keep saying that!" Blake yelled as we looked at her.
"What?" Weiss said, confused.
"He's not some rapscallion and he's not some animal! He's a person!" Blake said.
"Oh I'm so sorry," Weiss said, sarcastically "Do you want to stop referring to this trash can as a trash can? Or this building as a building? Or this Lampost as a lamppost".
"Stop it!" Blake yelled.
"Stop what? He broke the law. Give him the time he'll probably join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang!" Weiss retorted back.
"You ignorant little brat!" Blake yelled, before turning around and walking off.
This shocked Weiss, as she gripped her hand in anger "How dare you to talk to me like that! I am your teammate!"
"You're just such a judgmental little girl" Blake yelled.
"What in the world makes you say that?" Weiss asked.
"The fact that you would sort that Faunus boy with a terrorist group solely based on his species makes you just as much of a scoundrel as you believe him to be!".
The two continued their screaming match, as Yang moved up to me.
"Uuuhhh, should we go?" She asked as I nodded "Yeah, that's the right call".
"So where are we going, new friends!" Penny asked, following us as we left Weiss and Blake to themselves.
"Huh, oh yeah kinda forgot you were here," Alex said, scratching his head when they heard footsteps.
"Penny there you are" They heard, looking over to see a man who looked similar to Penny with curly orange hair and green eyes. He wore a red shirt under a brown leather jacket and black trousers and red shoes, he also had the same ear accessory as Penny.
"Oh, big brother" she waved, as the man walked up to us.
"Thanks for finding her, she gets a bit excited whenever we go to new places," he said, as we nodded.
"No prob, so what's your name," Yang asked, making the man smirk as he pointed to himself with his thumb.
"Call me Jimmy and I'm the hunter who'll be the first person to go to the moon" he smirked, pointing upward.
"The moon? That's pretty ambitious" I said, as Ruby blinked.
"But isn't it impossible to go into space? Because dust doesn't work out there?" Ruby asked.
"Hey just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen," he said, making Alex, Ruby and Yang sweatdrop.
"Well anyway, we need to get back soon before they find us," Jimmy said, as Penny blinked.
"Oh right, we need to go now but let's meet up tomorrow new friends," Penny said, as she and her brother began walking off.
"Okay, and now to deal with them," Alex said, looking over at Weiss and Blake still talking.
Elsewhere in Vale
Third-person P.O.V.
"Damn it! We lost him!" Azure said as he and Sepia walked through the city of Vale.
"Azure, you need to calm down," Sepia told her partner, as Azure glared at her.
"Shut up! He could be a member of those White Fang bastards!" He yelled as Sepia shook her head.
"Or he could just a be a stowaway, or a student from one of the other kingdoms visiting for the vytal tournament," she said, "Why are you so fixated with catching this guy?".
"Tch, don't ask me. Not like I'd tell you anyway" Azure growled, beginning to walk off.
"We're supposed to be partners, so why won't you tell me what's bothering you," she said, as Azure glared at her.
"We're supposed to be partners? Oh yeah, that tracks after you refused to tell me that I wasn't authorised to transform and that you had your own driver" he barked, as she looked down.
"So next time, why don't you keep your business your's and my business mine," he said, before turning around and walking off to continue looking for the Faunus.
Back in the dorms
Third-person P.O.V.
'We really shouldn't have stuck around for this' Alex thought, as he, Marine and the rest of team Rwby sat in their dorm room, as Weiss and Blake continued to argue.
"Jeez this is getting pretty ugly," Yang said, as they watched the argument going on.
"I don't understand why this is causing such a problem!" Weiss shouted.
"That is the problem!" Blake shouted back at the ice queen.
"You do realize you are defending an organization that hates Humanity, don't you?" Weiss asked sitting on the bed as she rubbed her forehead "The Faunus of the White Fang is pure evil!".
"There's no such thing as pure evil! Heck, even Metsubojinari are only doing it to save humanity from the Grimm! There's no such thing as evil people they're only misguided" she said.
"Why do you think they hate Humanity so much?"Blake stated, "It's because of people like Cardin! Like Azure! like you! That forces the White Fang to take such drastic measures!".
"People like me?!" Weiss gasped, looking at Blake in shock.
"You're discriminatory!" Blake yelled.
"I'm a victim!" Weiss yelled back, making the room even more uncomfortable than usual.
"You want to know why I despise the White Fang? Why don't particularly trust the Faunus?" Weiss sighed, leaning on the bookshelf next to the window.
"It's because they've been at war with my family for year's, war as in like actual bloodshed." She said.
"My grandfather's company has had a target painted on it for as long as I can remember… ever since I was a child, I've watched family friends disappear, board members executed, entire train cars full of Dust stolen," she said, looking down.
"And because of it every day, my father would come home, furious… making for a very difficult childhood".
"Weiss…" Alex said, looking at her 'Weiss… I never knew you had to live like that…'.
"Weiss…I-" Ruby said, but Weiss just ignored her.
"No!" she yelled, stomping her feet towards Blake "You want to know why a despise the white fang! It's because they are liars! Bandits! Terrorists and Murders!".
"WELL, MAYBE WE WERE JUST TIRED OF BEING TREATED LIKE THIS!" Blake screamed, back shocking everyone in the room.
Blake's eyes widened looking around everyone in the room.
"You… You what?" Weiss said, stepping back in fear.
"I…I…" Blake said, before looking down and quickly ran out of the door.
"Blake, wait! Come back!" Ruby yelled, and over to the door, calling down to her running teammate.
Alex looked over at Weiss, whose gaze had turned down to the floor.
Alex opened his mouth to speak, but decided to keep quiet as he followed Ruby to get Blake.
Meanwhile, outside of Beacon, we see Blake running in the courtyard as she made her way towards the large statue in the middle of the courtyard.
She took some deep breaths whilst looking up at the state, she sighed and reached for the bow on top of her head to undo it.
This revealed a set of cat ears on top of her head, grabbing the boy Blake wiped away a tear going down her cheek.
"I knew you would look better without the bow" she heard, slowly turning back to see the monkey Faunus from earlier.
Two days later
Third-person P.O.V.
"She's been gone all weekend." Ruby depressively said as they walked through the city of vale looking for her.
"It's most likely Blake has already left the city," Marine said, as Weiss crossed her arms.
"Blake's a big girl, I'm sure she can handle herself," Weiss said, dismissively as she continued walking.
"Weiss…" Alex mumbled.
"Come on Weiss, even if Blake lied she's still our teammate," Yang said, but Weiss just turned to her.
"Is she though you heard her she's been lying to us this entire time! Who knows she could've just been some sleeper agent for the White Fang this entire ti-" "WEISS!".
Everyone looked to Alex who was glaring at Weiss before he sighs and slapped the driver on his waist.
"I'm… going to go look for Blake" pressing the bike app.
ACCESSING BIKE APP!
He then scanned the phone onto the driver.
Changing to a superbike, motorcycle mode.
Motorise
A portal appeared above them as the Rise hopper fell out of it, Alex got onto the bike before looking back at the others.
"You guys split up and look for her as well and Marine stick with them for now," he said driving off much to everyone's surprise.
"Alex! Wait," Weiss said, but Alex was already gone.
"Brother…" Marine frowned, looking down.
"Wow, seems like you lot have been having some problems" They heard, looking back to see Jimmy and Penny walking towards them.
"Ruby! Marine!" Penny smiled, running up to her new friends.
"Good morning Penny" Marine smiled.
"Penny, what are you doing here?" Ruby said, surprised.
"We promised to meet up, remember" Penny smiled, happily as Jimmy walked up to Yang and Weiss.
"Umm, who's this" Weiss asked, crossing her arms as Jimmy smirked.
"The names Jimmy, I'm Penny's big bro" he smirked. "So what are you guys doing?".
"We're looking for our friend Blake," Yang said, catching Penny's attention.
"Oh you mean the Faunus girl" Penny smiled, surprising team Rwy.
"Uh, how did you know that?" Yang asked.
"It is fairly obvious, she has cat ears," Marine said, as she made cat ears with her hands which was copied by Penny.
"What she doesn't have cat ears that's a…Bow…" Yang said, as she and her teammates finally figured everything out.
"She does like tuna a lot," Ruby said, as an awkward wind and even a tumbleweed passed by.
"So where is she?" Jimmy asked.
"We don't know, she ran off two days ago and we haven't been able to find her since," Ruby said shocking Penny.
"Oh no! That's terrible!" Penny said, zooming close to Ruby "Don't worry, as your close friend I will not stop until we have found your teammate".
"N-No, no we're fine right guys," She said, looking back to see Yang, Weiss and Jimmy we're now gone, the only one who had stayed was Marine.
Another awkward passed by, as Marine looked at the tumbleweed "It is windier than normal today, strange".
Meanwhile with Blake.
Third-person P.O.V.
Blake let out a sigh as she placed a cup of tea down onto the table, her eyes flicking upward towards the monkey Faunus in front of her, who was holding his drink with his tail.
This was Sun Wukong, who decided to stick around with Blake after what happened two days ago.
Sun took a sip of his drink as Blake moved her head up "So, you want to know more about me..." Blake began, eyes narrowing slightly.
"Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you gave me nothing but small talk and weird looks!" Sun said cheeky grind as Blake gave a deadpan look at him.
"Yeah, just like that" he pointed at her which made Blake roll her eyes before closing them with a sigh.
She opened them back up and looked at Sun, revealing a hint of sadness in her eyes."Sun... Are you familiar with the White Fang?"
"Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them." Sun nodded, waving his hand.
"Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want, that only care about themselves, they don't even care about how what they're doing messes up other Faunus's live, bunch of freaks, if you ask me!"
Blake took another sip of her drink as she listened to Sun speak. "I was once a member of the White Fang".
Sun spat out his drink when he heard that, he placed the cup down on the table and wiped his mouth as he looked up at Blake"Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!"
Blake nodded, her eyes trailing off to the side. "Yes…I was a member for most of my life, you could say I was born into it".
"Back then, things were different, in the ashes of war, the White Fang was created as a symbol of peace and unity between humans and Faunus but of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate," she said
"Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings, and so in retaliation, the White Fang rose for our people, and I was there at the front of every rally…" she explained.
"I took part in every boycott … I thought we were making a difference…I guess I was pretty dumb to think that" She got more of a saddened look.
"Then five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place who had a new way of thinking"
"And let me guess, that thinking lead to all the violence didn't it?"Sun finished for her, as Blake nodded.
"The methods… they were working but I didn't want to use my skills to aid their violence. So I left and I decided I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress." She said, stirring a cup.
"So here I am, a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow." She wiggled her cat ears.
As the two continued to talk we look a bit to see Azure listening to their conversation while drinking a cup of coffee.
A few minutes later
"So what's the plan now?" Sun asked as he and Blake walked through Vale.
"I still don't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies, they've never needed that much dust before." She stated.
"But what if they did?" Sun spoke up, making the cat Faunus look at him.
"I mean…the only way to prove that they didn't do it is to go to the place where they would most likely be and not find them there…right?" He grinned.
"The only thing is, I have no idea where that would be," Blake admitted.
"The docks…" They heard, quickly looking back to see Azure walking towards them.
"Oh crud," Sun said, about to run but Azure raised his hand "I'm not here to fight… yet.." he said, walking up to them.
"I heard your conversation from earlier, so I know you were a part of the white fang," he said, crossing his arms.
"Yeah but I'm not part of them anymore, and I want to stop their violence and help to at least bring them back to the way they used to be," Blake said as Azure smirked.
"Well at least some white fang members have some common sense," he said as Azure looked at him.
"So why do you say the docks," Sun asked, as Azure looked at him.
"I heard a rumour in my way here that there was going to be a large dust shipment," Azure said, as Sun snapped his fingers.
"How large?" Blake asked as Azure looked at her "About a Schnee shipment large".
"Right, I also heard the same thing on the boat here, a couple of crew members were talking about it," Sun added.
"Alright, that sounds good come on let's go," Blake said, as Azure typed on his scroll to inform Sepia about the plan.
Meanwhile with Alex.
We see Alex on his bike as he drove around Vale trying to find where Blake had gone off to 'Come on, where is she' he thought before noticing someone.
"Sepia?" He said, stopping the motorcycle and he removed his helmet
"Alex, it's a good thing I ran into you," she said, running up to him.
"Listen Azure texted me and said that he and your friend Blake are investigating a possible White Fang attack" she explained.
"Crap, we should go get on," Alex said, as Sepia nodded getting on the bike as well as they drove off.
Docks
Third-person P.O.V.
We see Azure and Blake laying atop a warehouse roof at the docks, watching the Schnee crates.
"Hey did I miss anything?" Sun asked, leaping on the roof as he joined them while holding a bunch of apples.
"Not really, they just offloaded all the crates from the boat" Azure answered, crossing his arms.
"Cool, hey I stole you guys some food." He offered, tossing them some apples.
Blake just gave him a cold look "Is the first thing you try stealing"
"Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?" Sun shot back, making Blake glare at the monkey Faunus with silent anger. "Okay too soon."
"Hey shut up, somethings happened," he said, as they looked up.
The three then look up to see several Bullheads flying over them, shining a spotlight over the docks.
The Bullhead landed, as several White Fang members stepped off the ship
Blake's eyes widened, as Azure growled at the White Fang.
"Is that them?" Sun asked, and Azure nodded.
"Yeah that's them, look at the logo on their backs," Azure said, pointing to a red hound head on the back of each member, with three red claw marks going across the head.
"Alright, grab the tow cables." One of the members ordered as the White Fanger members began working.
"Oh no…" Blake said, looking down.
"You didn't think they were behind it, did you?" Sun said, giving her a sympathetic look.
"No, I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right." She sighed.
"Hey! What's the holdup?!" Blake's eyes shot open when she heard that voice.
She then looked back at the ship's door and saw Roman Torchwick walking out.
"We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so~ why don't you animals try to pick up the pace." He ordered them.
"Torchwick" Azure growled, gripping his shot riser.
"Why would the White Fang team up with someone like Roman," Blake said, as Azure growled.
"Criminals do tend to flock with other criminals," he said, standing up "Come on, let's check it out".
"No you idiot this isn't a lea-" Roman said before Azure ran up aiming his Shot Riser at him.
"Put your hands up now," he said, aiming his gun.
"What the? Oh, son of a bitch" Roman said, rolling his eyes.
"You're not going anywhere, you bastards! You're under arrest for attempting to steal these crates of dust" he growled.
Other White fang soldiers pointed their guns at him but then Sun and Blake landed next to Azure.
Blake looked back from soldier to soldier before taking off her bow " Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?!"
She watched as some of them looked at her, then each other, slowly lowered their weapons a little.
"Heh, kid. Didn't you get the memo?" The thief said, with a grin.
"What're you talking about?" Blake asked as the man grinned
"Eh, the White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together."
Azure pressed her gun even more "Tell us what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation".
" I wouldn't exactly call it a 'little' operation." He smirked and pulled a trigger on his cane, shooting the ground, sending Azure away from him in an explosion.
Another dropship flew in from overhead, blowing wind at them as the door opened up revealing three White fang members with Zetsumerisers on their waist.
When they landed on the ground, they each pulled out a prog ride key before pressing the buttons.
KUEHNE!
EKAL!
ONYCHO!
They then slotted the keys into the riser causing them to spark before the armour surrounded their bodies turning them into coloured Magia.
"What!" the three said, shocked as Azure aimed his gun at Roman.
"This is atlas technology! How did you get your paws on it!" Azure yelled as Roman smirked.
"Like hell, we'd steal from Atlas, but I gotta admit that weird lady was pretty helpful" he smiled.
"Weird lady" Blake said, as Azure growled, "It's gotta be Metsubojinrai!".
"I have no idea what you're talking about, but not like you'll be here long enough to hear the answer," Roman said, lifting his cane before firing at Azure in the face sending his hat flying.
This didn't kill him however, as his aura stopped him however what it did reveal to everyone two wolf ears on the top of his.
"No way" Sun said, as Blake eyes widened.
"You're…a Faunus?" She said, shocked.
"…You know…I really hate your kind" he growled, staring at the transformed White Fang soldiers in front of him before he closed his eyes.
"You're always going on and on about how you're trying to make a better world for us Faunus but instead you just made our lives even shitier while you lot reap the benefits" he said, pulling out a long silver belt before wrapping it around his waist.
"You say you're here to help us but in truth all you do is mess with the reach and powerful, not caring how you're actions effect those not as lucky" he said, attaching his Shot riser to the belt and pulling out the Progrise key.
He then opened his eyes as he gripped the key and began pulling it as hard as he can, trying to break through the locks.
"You're not saviours or revolutionaries! You're terrosits! An enemy to everyone who actually gives a damn about this world and it's people" he said, pulling even harder.
"THAT'S WHY MY MISSION IN LIFE IS TO OBLITERATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!" he screamed, ripping the key opening before he pressed the button.
BULLET!
It said before he slammed the key into the Shot Riser.
AUTHORISE!
KAMEN RIDER! KAMEN RIDER!
He pulled off the gun raising it and slowly aiming at the three Magia's in front of him.
"Hen…SHIN!" He yelled before pulling the trigger.
SHOTRISE!
The bullet shot from the gun and began striking the three Magia several times.
"Nope" Roman said, running off.
The bullet then moved back to Azure as he punched the bullet making it split apart and attach to his body.
SHOOTING WOLF~~~!
The elevation increases as the bullet is fired
The armor was mostly white with blue armoring on the left arm and legs as well as the left of his chest and face. He had transformed into Kamen Rider Vulcan: Shooting Wolf.
"RAAAAAAAHHHHH!" He roared, as he slammed his fist in his palm before he fabled towards the three Magia.
"You two go after Roman! I'll handle these bastards" he yelled, as they nodded running off.
We see Roman running as he looked back to see Blake chasing after her, so he fired several rounds from his cane causing Blake to block the attack but was still knocked back, but she quickly got up and rolled over to the side to avoid more fire.
He continued his assault so Blake used her semblance to dodge a close shot. She then saw some crates and she ran behind then for cover.
"Here kitty kitty kitty..." The man said until a banana peel fell onto his hat.
"What they" He groaned as he threw it off but then Sun landed right in front of him.
"Woohoo!" Sun yelled, as he forced Roman down to the ground.
Sun flipped a few times and stood up. "Leave her alone." He said sternly, when suddenly White Fang soldiers jumped out of another dropship above Sun, surrounding him.
"You're not the brightest banana in the bunch, are ya kid?" The man said.
Sun readied himself for a fight as each soldier attacked him.
He then pulled out his weapon which was a foldable staff, which he used against the soldiers.
He took care of each soldier, before sweep-kicking one.
He then kicked the soldier which sent him flying towards Roman's direction.
Roman growled as he shot at Sun with his cane, forcing the Faunus to block the blasts as he twirled his staff quickly.
However as this was happening Blake jumped in between the two "He's mine!"
She leaped in with a few striked Roman several times while using her semblance to dodge any of his attacks.
However eventually used her sembalences too many times which allowed the roman to her last attack before continually attacking her until she failed to use her semblance.
Sun soon came in, breaking his staff into 4 gun and nun-chucks hybrid, which he flailed around firing each one very quickly.
Roman had a hard time dealing with Sun's constant fire from his attacks but whenever he screwed up, Blake cut in and gave Roman a good hit, sending him back a few feet.
"Damn kids" Roman said, getting back up.
However he soon noticed that Sun and Blake were under a dust crate that was hanging by one cord so the man smirked and fired at it.
This caused the cord to break and the crate fell, forcing it to split Sun and Blake apart.
While Blake escape was swift, Sun's was a bit sloppy and he ended up rolling right in front of the Roman's cane.
Sun stared down the barrel and saw Roman grin until a voice was heard from a rooftop on the hanger.
"Hey!"
Ruby walked forward and twirled Crescent Rose until it stabbed the roof, looking pretty serious.
Penny and Marine landed behind her with Marine holding the Attaché Caliber
"Oh hello red, isn't it past your bedtime? And who's your friends?"
"Ruby, are these people your friends?" Penny asked, from behind Ruby.
"Penny get back this is dangerous" Ruby warned her.
Noticing Ruby's distraction, Roman smirked as he twirled is cane before firing at the three girls.
"Ruby! Watch out!" Marine yelled, quickly yelled downloading the Attaché shield to black the attack.
"Hahahahaha! You should really keep yours eyes out for these kinds of things" he laughed, making Penny glare at him.
She then began making her away towards Roman as Ruby looked up at her "Penny! Don't!".
"Don't worry Ruby, I'm combat ready!" Penny saluted, as her backpack mechanically opened up, casuing a single sword to come out which separated into several blades hovering over Penny's back.
She then dashed towards Roman and the White Fang as he rolled his eyes "Where does these people keep coming from".
Meanwhile with Vulcan.
(Play leave all behind)
Back with Vulcan we see him continuing to take on the three Magia.
The Kuehen Magia gripped the blade on it's chest before throwing them like boomerangs towards the rider who quickly dodged the attack.
The Ekal Magia rushed in, slashing at Vulcan several times with it's claws but Vulcan just growled before punching Ekal sending him back a bit.
He then got back up but then the Onchyo Magia came flying to get lift him but Vulcan quickly pulled out a dust missile from his belt.
He then attached to his gun before firing at the Magia causing a small explosion which sent the Magia flying.
(End song)
Vulcan grunted as he slowly stood up straight but then the other two Magia came in to attack from behind.
However Zero One and Valkyrie came in and knocked the two back before landing on the ground.
Valkyrie then turned toward Vulcan and gripped her hand "Azure, how did you activate the key without being authorised" she said.
"How else? I ripped it open" he deadpanned, crossing his arms.
"Of course you did" Valkyrie sighed, shaking her head.
"Come on guys, we need to focus on the fight" Zero One said, as the two other nodded.
The trio the stared at the other Magia before they all dashed towards them.
(Play Find a new life)
The Ekal leapt away as zero one chased after him all over the area, zero one jumping off of crate from crate to catch him
Zero One then landed in front of the Magia before kicking him, surprising the Magia who leapt back.
Zero one then blocked a punch from the Magia and than punched him in the face.
The Magia extended it's teeth to knock him off and nearly did but Zero One just barely got back on and kicked the Magia several times before successfully kicking him back to the ground.
He then downloaded the Attaché Caliber before chasing after him.
Mean while Vulcan was dodging the Kuehne Magia's slashes before moving in close and shooting it in the chest.
The Magia fell to the ground before turning and throwing it's boomerangs at Vulcan who barely moved out of the way and began firing at the Magia who kept on dodging.
He was soon distracted by the boomerangs and didn't notice the Magia about to kick him back.
With Valkyrie we see her using her speed to chase after the Onchyo Magia who flew around as she fired at him.
The Magia dodged the attacks as it flew towards the rider before trying to sweep kick her.
However she leapt over the kick, before firing at the Magia knocking it back.
She then placed her gun back before pulling the trigger and striking a pose.

RUSHING BLAST FEVER!
She then leapt into the air, before sending a energy charged at the Magia causing a large explosion.
Nearby with Zero one, he had jumped off some construction vehicle and did a downward slash at the Magia.
He than did a spin slash but the Magia caught it and kicked him but Zero One didn't give up and stabbed him in the back pushing him back.
"I know why you're doing this… but I can't let you hurt people with this dust… so sorry but…there's only one person who can stop you… and that's me!" he said taking out the Progrise key and inserted it into the sword
Progrise Key Confirmed
Ready to utilise Grasshopper Ability
Zero One than jumped towards the Magia with his sword charging with energy as it extended it's teeth again.
Zero One slashed them half before pulling the sword's trigger.
"HAAAAHHHH!" He yelled before cutting through the Magia with the energy charged blade, cutting him in half.

RISING KABAN SLASH!
Zero one landed on the ground as there was a large explosion behind him, while the White Fang members landed behind him.
Meanwhile Vulcan knocked the Magia onto of the wall before pulling out his gun "Your nothing but scrap metal" he said before pressing down on the gun and aiming towards the Magia.
He pulled the trigger shooting out several energy wolves that bit on to the Magaia's limb and sent him all the way towards the main building .
"Haah!" He said aiming his gun right where the Magia would be.

SHOOTING BLAST!
Vulcan then turned around and began walking off, as a large explosion occurred behind him "This is just the start of your punishment for your sins" he said, walking off.
(End songs)
Meanwhile with the others.
Back with the others, after taking down the rest of the white fang members we see Penny taking down the drop ships.
She did this by using her blades to blast down any shop that tried to fly by.
She then noticed one ship with dust flying off so she stabbed the blades into the ship before pulling it back.
"Woah… Marine how is she doing that?" Ruby asked, as Marine analysed Penny.
"Mostly likely a combination with the strings connected to her blades and Magnerism but I am not certain" she explained.
"These brats just keep getting weirder and weirder" Roman said, as he got on the drop ship and had to fly off while being followed by two others.
One hour later
Third person P.O.V.
After a while, a handful of police cars are at the docks, where Alex, Marine, Ruby, Blake, Sun and Jimmy were sitting on boxes in silence.
Azure and Sepia were currently talking with the police explaining what happened.
"Hey, did we miss anything"
The silence was soon broken however when they saw Yang, Weiss and Jimmy walking over to them.
"Oh Uh hey Weiss" Alex said, as Ruby got up.
"Look Weiss it's not what you think, she explained everything Blake doesn't actually wear a bow, it's cat ears and it's actually kind of cute" Ruby quickly said as Weiss walked past Ruby, ignoring her entire rant of explanation.
She then approached Blake and stood there for a moment.
"Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang, back what I was with-" "Stop." Blake tried to explain, but was cut off by Weiss.
"Do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you? Twelve hours." She said.
"That means I've had twelve hours to think about this, and in those twelve hours, I've decided..." Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds.
"I don't care." Weiss finished, making Blake blink
"You don't care?" Blake asked, confused.
"You said you're not one of them anymore, right?" she asked, as Blake quickly nodded.
"No, I-I haven't been since I was younger-" Blake was cut off quickly.
"Ahpupupup, I don't wanna hear it. All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up, you'll come to your teammates, and not some...someone else." Weiss said, looking at Weiss.
Tears started welling up in Blake's eyes as she slowly nodded."Of course."
Weiss smiled at Blake after hearing the response.
"Yeah! Team RWBY's back together!" Ruby chanted happily, as everyone gathered up closely.
"Nice job you guys!" Alex smiled, "I say it's time for a round of my knock em out gags" he smiled, but they just ignored him "Hey!".
"I'm still not quite sure how I feel about you." She pointed at the monkey Faunus making him laugh nervously.
As this was happening we see Azure and Sepia watching what was going on from a distance.
"So, you're probably mad that I transform without your authorisation" Azure asked, but Sepia shook her head "No…I'm not".
"Wait, really?" Azure blinked, surprised.
"You were right. We are partners so I need to start trusting you before besides you're rage actually assisted your more then hindered you" Sepia said.
"Heh, guess your shouldn't underestimate me anymore-gah" he said, getting elbowed in the side by Sepia "Don't push it".
As everyone continued talking, Marine was looking around noticing something missing,
"Brother,… Where is Penny?" Marine asked, as Alex looked around "Oh yeah, Jimmy missing as well".
From a distance we see Jimmy and Penny in one of the police cars.
"I know you two are excited but you shouldn't be wandering around and your like that" The driver of the car said.
"Yeah, yeah we know know" Jimmy said, fiddling with his weapon whi was a red feather shaped sword.
"We're sorry" Penny apologised.
"Don't worry, you're time will come… soon" the man said, before driving off.
Meanwhile we see Sori and Furo stood on top of the building as they watched the car driving off.
"Is that really him Sori!" Furo asked, as Sori smirked.
"Yes, seems like we've finally found your older brother" Sori smirked, as he looked at a Griffon Grim key.
And done woo boy this chapter took awhile to write but I'm happy how it turned about.
Anyway we've finally ended Volume 1 and have introduced the main five riders of zero one now and a little build up for future riders.
Now you maybe wondering if I'll be separating this story and volume 2.
Well I won't be, I'll be doing it for Volume 3 but I decided to stick one and two together anyway now then onto the reviews.
ZeroTheOne: Nope, not really sure who to pair him with maybe Sepia but can't be certain.
Yogaeatw607: I'm going to stick with the cannon up until the volume 8 ending, I got my own ideas for that, also yes I have seen Dynazenon All this time is amazing.
Starwing1995: Hmm, maybe I'll think about it, and I'm actually planning on Salem to become a rider and if you know zero one you should know who it is.
Elliott Adams: That's kind of redundant since Sepia already has those thing with profrise key and Azure is a wolf Faunus so he already has tracking abilities.
Anyway with that said, don't forget to review and favourite this story and of course.
S.E.E.Y.O.U.N.E.X.T.C.H.A.P.T.E.R.
