First Lock: A Banana from the Sky!?

*Lock Open!*

Kumon Kaito had spent his whole life seeking more and more power.

Some said that he's an evil battle maniac while others claimed that he was simply another power hungry idiot. There were even some that said that he was like a modern-day Oda Nobunaga.

Yes. Kumon Kaito has been called many names in his quest for more power. But why would a young man want so much power?

The reason was simpler then what one would think. His old man, his father, wasn't a bad man. Hard working, having a sense of honor and well-respected. He was a role model for young Kumon Kaito. But the only thing his father lacked was… :

Power.

Power to stand up against everything.

From a young age, Kaito learnt that being a good man doesn't always mean good things will happen to you. With his own two eyes, he saw his father construction site close down from having the land being bought. And that brought the downfall of the Kumon family.

His father was the only source for the family's income. And when he was out of a job, the family quickly went poor. Kaito saw how hard his dad worked to find a stable job with a stable amount of income yet it was not enough for the family to escape from being poor. Kaito learnt that a good man who wasn't strong enough will never be able to uphold his ideals no matter how hard he tried.

Kaito… had to watch a good man, a great man, being hunted down by debt collectors and being abandoned by those he once called friends.

"Be strong my boy. Be stronger than your old man. Never surrender to this cruel world like me… ."

Those were the last words he had heard from his father before his parents had to abandon him in an orphanage.

Kaito knew why they did it. Kaito understood why they did it. But that didn't mean he had to like it. He wanted his parents back then. The parents who he grew up with. The parents who took care of him as he grew up. He wouldn't care if he had suffered with them, so long as they were together.

But it was not meant to be. Kaito learnt from a young age that the weak will get no say in how their lives should go and only the strong get to decide on who lives and who dies.

He hated that fact. It made him despise those who were called 'strong' with a passion. As a weak member of this world, he swore one day he would get enough power to crush the strong. To never be laughed at or oppressed anymore.

And so, Kaito kept training and learning new skills. He had swore to himself that he would always reach the top no matter how hard or challenging the road was. And that's what he did. Dancing, cooking, soccer or even school. He was always amongst the top in every thing he dedicated himself to. And yet… he still felt empty inside.

Kaito knew why he felt so. It was because he still hadn't gotten the power to oppose who were called 'strong'. Every day, after school, he would always look up at that damn tower named after the world tree to remind himself that he needed to try even harder tomorrow. So that one day he could tear that place down scrap by scrap. Piece by piece.

Never surrender to the rules of the world he live in.

And as Fate would have it: An orange idiot by the name of Kazaruba Kouta took the first step to true power before Kaito. Of course he was angry at first, but he also quickly secured himself the device known as the Sengoku Driver and for the first time in his life;

Kaito tasted true power. He tasted what it's like to not be weak.

And yet… it still wasn't enough. Kaito quickly found himself to be severely outclassed by multiple opponents. The first was the melon-themed White Armored Rider, and then there were the Overlords that came to destroy his world.

But he wasn't alone in this bizarre adventure (which he admittedly felt like it came from a tokusatsu TV show). He teamed up with former foes including that stupid idiot Kazuraba. That idiot… , despite being a naive schmuck that couldn't even spot traitor when said traitor was RIGHT in front of him, had proven himself to be strong. Truly strong.

Both young men tried to deconstruct what the other thought the strong should be, yet there was an underline of grudging respect that they gave to each other despite having different ideals. They fought against each other. They fought alongside each other, and that respect grew with each battle. In the end, their final battle… it was just two rivals fighting each other. To prove that they were better than the other.

Their final battle… ironically it was one that would decide the fate of the world. Kazuraba tried to reason with him, that compassionate idiot. Did he not realized that Kaito practically did the same thing before they even clashed blades? Their ideals were too different, and they were too stubborn to change those ideals to match the other. And so, the battle that decided the fate of the world continued.

An epic battle that doubled as who would have the right to stand alongside the girl they both fallen in love with. Kaito didn't know when Kazuraba had fallen in love with Mai, but he knew when he himself had fallen for Mai. It was all because of a pretty girl dancing. Dancing a dance that gave a shy boy the strength to continue on in life despite falling into despair.

Unfortunately, Mai had evolved into a being referred to as the Woman of Beginning due to having the Golden Fruit, a fruit with unlimited power, implanted into her. To Kaito, it was a win-win situation. Unlimited power and getting to stay together alongside the girl he loved? Yup, definitely win-win for him.

But Kazuraba would not allow that. Because Kaito's vision for the future would lead to the extinction of mankind. It would to the destruction of the world they and their friends grew up in.

And so; the two rivals clashed weapons to decide the future of planet Earth and to decide who was worthy enough to stand alongside the girl they loved. Two ideals clashed… .

And Kaito lost.

Along the way of the final battle, Kaito was betrayed by his trusted ally (and he would grudgingly admit one of his closest friends) Zack, lost his trusted follower Yoko (who may or may not fallen in love with him if her last words were anything to go by) and had alienated himself from people he could truly call friends. And yet, despite what happened to him that would drove a normal man to despair… :

Kaito found peace. He had finally filled the empty gap in his life.

He wasn't the type to die in a soft bed like his grandfather before him. When he was infested with the poison of Helheim Forest, he knew his life as Human was coming to an end. And quite frankly, he was pretty sure that everybody would agree that if he hadn't pulled his gamble with the Fruit of Helheim he would've died in his battle against Sengoku Ryoma.

Kaito had no regrets. He had took his shot in trying to paint the world in his image but had lost to someone who was so different to him yet it was someone Kaito couldn't help but respect.

Kaito was finally ready for the long awaited rest that is Death.

… Yet Fate still had something in store for him.

"Ugh… ."

With a groan, Kumon Kaito opened his eyes. And instead of the fiery sky and brim stone he expected to await him, he seemed to be falling from the blue sky at a very high speed.

"What… ?!" Kaito let out a soft-spoken cry of surprise as he realized he was not in Hell. Kaito quickly turned his head left and right to see if there's anything he could find that could tell him what the hell was going on. There, his eyes locked to shooting stars falling to the earth around the same speed as him. Five blue stars and nine white stars. Each of them, including himself, were slowly being scattered to different areas of the earth, far from one another.

His answers were there. With those shooting stars. But why was he alive? The last thing he remembered was him dying from a wound inflicted by Kazuraba. Breaking his own sword and then stabbing him with the broken piece… . Didn't see that one coming. But admittedly an impressive way to go so Kaito had no regrets there. And Kaito especially did not regret for having just enough time to give Kazuraba one final praise, if only to stop the idiot spending the rest of his life with guilt for killing him.

And Kaito should really focus on trying to land without ending up as a pancake staining the ground, huh?

Kaito quickly checked his pockets for his Sengoku Driver and Lockseeds. Really, at this point any Lockseeds would do so long as he could transform. The fall would still hurt, but so long as he survived he could tolerate any kind of pain.

There.

Kaito quickly placed his Sengoku Driver onto his waist, it's yellow straps quickly forming to keep the device from falling off. Kaito then checked the Lockseeds in his collection.

Banana, a Rose Attacker… and a Dandeliner!? That's impossible! His Dandeliner was destroyed by Kazuraba during their battle! Well, Kaito wasn't the type to not look at the gift in the horse's mouth. It was much useful than his Rose Attacker at the moment anyway.

With a push of a button, Kaito let go of the Dandeliner Lockvehicle; allowing it to grow and expand into it's Vehicle Mode. Out of the 4 Lockvehicles Kaito knew of, the Dandeliner was the only one with flight capabilities. Highly useful right now considering he was falling from the sky.

The Dandeliner quickly flew to him, stopping his fall. Now on a safe environment, Kaito checked himself one more time.

Banana, a Rose Attacker and a Dandeliner that was currently being used.

… .

That wasn't right.

Where was his Mango, Kiwi and Lemon Energy Lockseed? They were gone! He did not question the disappearance of Suika as it was originally Kazuraba's. Kaito wouldn't be surprised if Kazuraba took it back after he died. He did not question the disappearance of the OOO Lockseed either. Fun fact; the Rider Lockseeds kept disintegrating back to their core items after some time passed. In Kaito's case; it was that red medal with a hawk engraved to it. It was annoying to constantly go back to Helheim just to pluck a fruit so he could recreate the OOO Lockseed so at some point he just gave up all together.

… Now that Kaito thought of it, he was surprised that neither he nor Kazuraba used their respective Legend Rider Lockseeds against each other in that fateful final battle.

Back to the point though, the other 3 Lockseeds… they were missing for some reason! Or more likely… they were stolen! It was't much of a loss though. Lemon Energy was next to useless since Kaito's Genesis Driver had it's kill switch triggered by Sengoku Ryoma and he couldn't use it the roundabout way Kazuraba used his Energy Lockseeds. And his Mango and Kiwi Lockseeds could easily be replaced with a trip to Helheim Forest.

But nobody steals from Kumon Kaito without any consequences.

"Hn." Kaito grunted to himself as he prepared to transform.

"Henshin."

BANANA!

… Maybe Kaito should fix that habit of his where he would almost always twirl his Lockseeds around his finger first before placing it onto his Driver… . … . … Nah!

LOCK ON!

COME ON!

The Crack that gave way for his banana-themed armor to enter Earth from Helheim was strangely comforting to Kaito. Probably because it was Helheim was something familiar to Kaito. That and probably because it meant that he could still enter Helheim with his Lockvehicles meaning more Lockseeds for him.

Kaito pressed down the Cutting Blade of the Sengoku Driver, cutting open his Banana Lockseed. This stopped the European-themed standby sound that played after a Lockseed is locked onto the Drive Bay of his Sengoku Driver while also giving the command to his banana armor to drop down onto his head. It formed his red and silver European Knight-themed suit, with the mechanical banana disassembling itself to form armor.

BANANA ARMS! KNIGHT OF SPEAR!

Armored Rider Baron was back in action.

Baron quickly drove the Dandeliner into the woods. After landing, his Lockvehicle converted back into Lock Mode. Now that Baron could somewhat relax as he wasn't in any danger, he noticed that wherever he was… felt very alien for some reason that he can't fathom. Rustling in the bushes gained his attention as he stared at the source of the noise.

Threateningly stepping out from the shadows was a mysterious creature that Baron had never seen before. He could honestly say that it was something that came out a child's nightmare. The creature had pure black fur, giving the illusion that it was made from the shadows. However, all around it was white bone-like armor platings that gave it protection. It reminded him of a boar though, as it was stubby and had long horns made out of the same materials as it's armor.

However, those horns had red markings around it, and were those glowing things on it's face it's eyes? All four of them?

Baron scoffed at the creature. As mentioned before, the creature looked something that a child would consider scary. Real monsters would have more color. Still, the creature's existence did pique Kaito's curiousity. "Now just what are you supposed to be… ?" Baron wondered, knowing full well the creature won't answer. This thing reminded him of the Inves, with a majority of them being mindless and just following their base instinct.

It was the same here. This thing was merely following it's base instinct. Yet… something was off about it. It felt like he was facing something… soulless. Was that even possible? For something live and breathe without a soul?

The creature roared at him, and charged at him like any wild animal would. Baron scoffed again, not feeling threatened at all by the creature's presence. He jumped over the creature (not that hard to do considering it's size) and tried to stab his Banaspear into the creature. To Baron's surprise, his Banaspear had not met any resistance from the creature's armor, and it quickly died from being stabbed in a vital area.

… . That was easy. Much too easy.

"How pathetic… . Even Elementary Inveses put up more of a fight." Baron muttered before he tried examining the body. However, to Baron's shock the creature's body began disintegrating to the point that it was like it was never there in the first place! Even the blood that stained the ground and his Banaspear evaporated into thin air.

Why was it that Kaito was getting the feeling he had been in this situation before? Stuck in some bizarre world where he had no ideas what the rules were… . … . Oh… ! Deja Vu. Well, at least this time there wasn't some strange kid with a soccer ball giving him weird messages that for the life of him he couldn't understand.

Another world huh? And it would seem that it was nothing like the Soccer World he was thrown into. At least that world was mostly the same with his own, except those who were considered strong were decided through soccer matches.

Kaito was silent as he canceled his transformation by closing the cut opened Banana Lockseed. He pondered on what he should do next when he heard a strange noise. It was something like an engine… except it was coming from the sky. Looking up, Kaito saw a huge vehicle flying over the forest. It honestly reminded him of that Helicarrier vehicle from those Marvel movies that the other members of Team Baron made him watch with them.

How interesting… . What else could he find in this new World… ?

Contrary to popular belief, Kaito did completely agree with the notion that knowledge is power.

How else would he be able stand as strong as he is today? It was not through brute force (though Kaito did favor it), it was because he had the knowledge on how to do or use something as effective as possible. The Sengoku Driver? He asked Lock Dealer Sid if there were other functions. Cooking? Have to follow the book first if you don't want to burn the house down.

And don't get him started on soccer. He would've led his team to total utter defeat had he not accepted Kengo Nakamura's lessons.

Hence, it wasn't that surprising to see Kaito was in a library reading all he could about the new World he was in. You may be wondering how on Earth did Kaito had gotten himself from a forest at God knows where to a city that Kaito was pretty sure was bigger than Zawame City in a short amount of time. It was simple really. All Kaito did was take a trip to Helheim. A quick stop to pick up some extra Lockseeds and when he drove his Rose Attacker back to the new World he found himself in this city named Vale.

Kaito would admit it. He was slightly disappointed that the return trip didn't took him back to Earth. But he quickly gotten over it. No point crying of spoiled milk after all.

"So… , this place is called Remnant and it's major culture is Hunters and Dust, hm?" Kaito muttered to himself was close the book he was reading before putting it back to the shelf he found it in. Kaito would admit it, this new World was surprisingly very interesting, compared to Earth. The creatures of Grimm had supposedly been mankind since the dawn of time, and had mercilessly hunted them down like the beasts they were. Nobody knew why they did so, at some point they lost the ability to care as they needed to survive.

Yet no matter what they did, it wasn't enough to drive the Grimm back. All hope seemed lost until man discovered Dust. Crystals and minerals that allowed them to control the elements. It helped them drove the Grimm back so man could prosper into something similar to the Humans of Earth. Hunters and Huntresses were soldiers who dedicated their lives to help the people of Remnant, and are known for being the ones that dealt with the Grimm.

To Kaito, their job description sounded something like Kazuraba would do until he was too old to continue fighting.

"Combat schools… ." Kaito muttered as he walked out of the library. Luckily it was a public library, free to use for anyone. Thus no one questioned Kaito's existence. Last thing he needed at the moment was the government of this world hounding him for simply existing. As far as he knew, Kumon Kaito did not exist in this world until today. And Kaito was pretty determined to make sure he was only one who knew that fact.

So perhaps it wasn't a good idea to visit one of those schools and challenge their strongest fighter to a fight.

Before Kaito could continue to ponder this line of thought any further, he noticed that there were a group of people wearing expensive black suits heading towards a shop in the district. Now normally this wouldn't be so odd… . … Ok, so it was kind of odd to see so many people black suits in the evening but it's not exactly something people would consider interesting to spend a few minutes watching.

However, to Kaito; seeing a such a group was enough to gain his ire. After all, people similar to them caused Kaito to become the person he is today.

With his attention gained, Kaito quickly followed the group. He noticed, however, there one person in particular was leading them. Unlike his posse, the man wore black coat while carrying a ninjato-like weapon. His face was covered by a mask that was eerily similar to the boar-like Grimm he had killed in the forest. Unlike the goons following him, the leader gave off a silent professional killer aura that slightly reminded Kaito of the White Armored Rider, Kureshima Takatora.

"Give us all the Dust you got!" He heard one of the goons shouted as they all drew their weapons at the poor store owner. A simple robbery it seems. Kaito was not a big fan of the weak being oppressed but he wasn't a fan of playing hero like Kazuraba was either. People need to learn to stand up for themselves. Or… had this world been dyed in his image, then things like this would never have occurred in the first place.

As Kaito was starting to get lost in his thoughts, the sound of a gun cocking quickly snap him back to reality. He looked at the corner of his eyes only to find a goon pointing his gun at him.

"Alright, put your hands up."

Kaito may not like playing hero, but if he was dragged into the situation regardless then he had no problem playing. Despite having a gun pointed at his head, Kaito's confidence did not waver. For what reason does he have to fear? He took on someone who had God-like power and survived. It would be an insult for him to be oppressed by a punk waving around a gun for a quick buck.

The first mistake the goon did was getting within arms reach of Kaito. His second mistake was that he was like most people who thought that they were 'strong' just for possessing something that people usually use to kill others. A gun or a knife for example. Have they forgotten that if you whack someone hard enough with a chair or a lamp it would be enough to kill them? The goon's third mistake was that just because he thought he was 'strong', he could afford to underestimate those who they view as 'weak'.

This was enough to give Kaito the element of surprise as in the next moment, he knocked out his assailant with two kicks; one to kick away the gun from the goon's hands and the other to knock the goon through the window.

"Hn. Pathetic." Kaito insulted the fallen goon as the other mooks quickly rushed over to see what was going on. Kaito quickly pulled out a deck of cards that he kept within his coat at all times and launched the cards with enough force and precision that it was enough to pierce through the mooks' skins. As they all cried out in pain, their leader quickly stepped out of the shop.

He was silent as he merely stared at his fallen allies, who were crying out in pain. Then he revealed he cared nothing for them, as he stepped on one of them as he walked towards Kaito. Kaito narrowed his eyes at seeing that. Strong to the point he had no care for the fallen, hm? Now why does that seem so familiar?

"So, I supposed you're the leader of these weaklings?" Kaito tried to make small talk, to gauge the personality of his new opponent. Knowing how they act helps anyone prepare against an enemy. However, silence was the only answer Kaito had gotten from the man. Kaito however, was unaffected by the silence. It merely told him that he can put all of his focus onto defeating the man before him instead of responding to smack talk.

"Alright then… ," Kaito said as he took out his Sengoku Driver. The man paused as he saw the Driver extend it's straps to become a belt with a bulky buckle.

"Henshin."

BANANA!

Kaito unlocked his Banana Lockseed, before twirling it around his finger. He placed his Lockseed onto the Drive Bay of the Sengoku Driver and secured it onto the Lock On Arm, before cutting it open with the Cutting Blade knife.

LOCK ON!

COME ON! BANANA ARMS! KNIGHT OF SPEAR!

A Crack to Helheim opened above Kaito, making way for his Banana Arms to enter Remnant. It quickly dropped onto his shoulders, covering his head in the process. Kaito's helmet quickly formed before the Burn Casque helmet dropped onto the back of his head, giving him the Burn Sight visor. With the helmet formation complete, the Banana Arms quickly disassembled into armor; completing Kaito's transformation into Armored Rider Baron!

If his opponent was shocked, than he did a pretty good job at hiding it. Baron had to admit he was impressed with the man's self-control; it was not everyday one see's a warrior clad in fruit-themed armor. Baron would admit; the first time he saw Kazuraba transform into Gaim the only thing that went through his mind at that moment was '… What.'

Baron prepared his Banaspear, as his opponent prepared to drew his ninjato. The man made the first move. With blinding speed, his blade clashed with Baron's Banaspear. "Who are you?" The man questioned as the two struggled to prove which one of them dominated in brute force. Baron was impressed. Here he was, fighting a stranger that could match his strength in his signature Arms. And yet… , Baron could sense that his foe was not giving it all… not just yet.

That was alright with Kaito. He wasn't giving his all either!

"There's no need for a weakling to know." Baron growled as he pushed the man away. However, the man quickly moved; with Baron being forced into a defensive position as all he could do was focus on blocking his opponent's strike lest he give the man an advantage. Baron let out an annoyed "Tch." as it reminded him of the time where Takatora appeared out of nowhere as the White Armored Rider and quickly defeated him through rapid sword slashes.

"How's this!?" Baron roared as he pressed down the Cutting Blade.

BANANA SQUASH!

Baron positioned himself as the man rushed towards him once again. However, this time he had a finisher ready. The moment he thrusted his spear at his enemy, Baron released an energy spear in the shape of a banana from his Banaspear. However, to Baron's shock, the man glowed red before he absorbed his Victory Spear finisher!

"What… ?" Baron couldn't help but let his thoughts come out due to his shock. The only person he knew that could come close to pulling off what that man just did was Kazuraba and even then it required him to be in his strongest Arms! But it wouldn't be the same! Kazuraba would require Takatora's melon shield and even then the shield deflected an attack. Not absorb it.

The man let out an eerie laugh. It wasn't the laugh itself that shook Kaito. No, it was what that laugh meant. The man absorbed his power, and enjoyed the feeling of it running through his veins. How dare he… ? How dare he steal another's power… !?

Before Baron could make the man pay, he released a red energy wave towards him that was enough to knock Kaito out of his Baron transformation. Kaito groaned in pain, that actually hurt a bit more than Kazuraba's Kachidoki Charge! Then again, Kazuraba's attack was blocked by his Spear Victory finisher at it's most powerful combined with his new Overlord powers. … Heh, that meant Kazuraba was even stronger than Kaito originally thought.

And Kaito was still okay with that.

And he was okay with dying a second time too. It's not like there's anything in this World waiting for him. He just gotten here, after all.

The man who wore the Grimm-like mask approached him, and prepared to deliver the killing blow had someone shot at his blade; deflecting it away from Kaito. Ugh, it was Kazuraba and Roshuo all over again. Looking at the direction where the bullet came from, Kaito saw someone on the rooftop. His savior was a woman with long wavy black hair, who wore a white v-neck zip-up shirt that had mid-length sleeves. She wore black pants to go with black boots that had high heels.

Kaito could see that she had wrapped black ribbons around her arms, and a black bow tied onto her head. He could also see that his savior wore the same type of mask as his opponent. Before anything could be said, the person fled the scene.

"Blake, wait!" The man called out to her. Letting out an annoyed "Tch.", the man turned to Kaito. "We'll settle this later, banana boy." The man stated before he gave chase to the woman who saved Kaito.

"It's Baron! And like hell I'll let you leave!" Kaito roared at the man as he struggled to get back up. Why? Why is it everybody calls him a 'Banana' when he made it clear his Armored Rider name is Baron!? He didn't see anyone calling Kazuraba 'Annoying Orange' even though he is one so why is it people kept calling him a 'Banana'!?

And true to his word, Kaito would've given chase with his Rose Attacker. He refused to accept a loss until he either dead or wouldn't be able to move his body for a good long while. One of good things of evolving into an Overlord was that he now had a higher tolerance to pain than what he had as a Human. Unfortunately, there was one problem:

"Freeze! Hands in the air!"

… . Police. He really hated the police. Not only some of them were corrupt, but they had the tendency of arresting the wrong person. Just because someone looked the part. Oh, what he would give to be able to punch one cocky police officer without any consequences for his actions.

"Put the belt away banana man or we'll make you into a fruit salad! Your outnumbered and outgunned!" A young officer called to Kaito, unknowingly gaining his ire. Seriously!? Even the Godforsaken cops!?

"It's Baron!" Kaito automatically snapped, causing one of the officers to knock him with out a stun gun.

Kaito had been in a police interrogation room before, he had no problems admitting that fact. When he first dropped out of high school and formed Team Baron, he often found himself getting involved in an actual fight with the more… violent dance teams that were usually found at the outskirts of Zawame City. He was often lectured by officers that he shouldn't waste his opportunity to be amongst the wealthy by dropping out of school and also that he shouldn't solve his problems with violence.

Of course adults thought they knew it all. Just because they were older and had more experience. They had forgotten what it was like, to find the strength to keep doing what you love doing most and protect their ideals from being corrupted by the ideals of others.

Kaito heard a door opening, and he was greeted with the sight of a silver haired man in a dark green suit walking towards him with a coffee mug and a plate of cookies. Trying to soften him up with food? Not going to work. If not because of his force of will, then it was because of his Overlord biology. Kaito remembered how Kazuraba seemed to lost his appetite to eat Human food and Kaito noted the same as he didn't really ate anything up towards that fateful final battle.

The man set the plate onto the table, but Kaito didn't move one inch from his position. He just sat there, arms crossed over his chest while sitting with his legs crossed. The silver haired man, in turn; merely stared at Kaito. As if trying to get his life story by mere good look. Like that's even possible.

"So… , you're the mysterious Banana Knight, hm?" The silver haired man started off the interrogation, but Kaito didn't gave a response. "Tell me, what is your name young man?"

"… Kumon Kaito." There was no point in hiding his name. For he was one of the strongest beings to exist in the Universe. Only those who were destined to be 'weak' forever constantly use lies and deceit to achieve their goals.

"Well then, Kaito. Would you mind telling me about that strange belt device that only you seemed to be able to use? And just what exactly are these locks?" The silver haired man placed Kaito's Sengoku Driver on the table, along with Banana Lockseed and both of his Lockvehicles. Kaito noted that the man was missing a lot of Lockseeds that the authorities had confiscated from Kaito. No doubt they didn't felt comfortable giving him access to all of the Lockseeds.

"Hn." Kaito merely grunted, not feeling like answering the silver haired man. He had no idea why the man would risk Kaito regaining access to his Rider powers. Was he hoping to establish a form of trust? Or… was he confident that he could contain Kaito should he made a move for the Sengoku Driver?

"You see, when everybody else tried to copy your transformation; the belt straps won't form. Some tried manually wrapping the belt on them, yet this lock won't cut open as it did with you." The silver haired man stated as he held up the Banana Lockseed. "Then they tried these two." He gestured to the Lockvehicles. "Imagine everyone's surprise when they found two little locks being able to expand full fledge vehicles, with one of them being able to fly." The man noted, with Kaito merely staying silent.

"And then… there's this." The man unlocked the Banana Lockseed, opening a Crack to Helheim. A Human-sized Inves quickly jumped out of the Crack, causing the man to quickly close it and in turn; close the Crack. Good thing his Banana Lockseed wasn't jailbroken, Kaito mused. Or else everyone would be in big trouble. "A strange alien being, ready to do your bidding with a mere push of a button." The silver haired man unlocked the Banana Lockseed once again, giving the Inves a way back to it's home.

"Hn." Kaito grunted. "I have no problem with telling you about what I am and where I come from, but I'm sure you realize that I gain nothing from helping you."

"Then what if I offer you protection?" Kaito narrowed his eyes at that. Protection? He was not some child that was afraid of jumping down from a tree because he was afraid of getting hurt! "You must realize, many people would hunt you down to discover your secrets. Many powerful people, who have no problem killing innocents to get to you."

"Then I will destroy them." Kaito boldly declared, but the man showed no reaction to that claim. "No matter who's in my way, I will defeat them or die trying." Kaito stated, with the silver haired man sipping his coffee in response.

"Then you would find yourself having quite an early death compared to your peers." Kaito was tempted to snort at that. Both he and Kazuraba were prepared to kill the other in that fateful final battle. By all rights, he should be dead at the moment yet here he was; talking to a silver haired man in an interrogation room within a police station.

"Hn. If I live, then I live. If I die, then I die. Simple as that." Kaito stated, as he could tell his statement as shocked the man to the point he went silent for a few minutes.

"… It should never be that simple." God, that sounded like something Kazuraba would say. "… What can I offer you for you to accept my offer?"

'A world where there is no "weak" or "strong". Where those who need help aren't oppressed or laughed at for their weaknesses.' Was Kaito's thought, but knew that was impossible without the power of the Golden Fruit. And such, what he said to the silver haired man was; "Power. I want more power."

"Then I'm afraid that is something I can't easily give."

"Then it would seems you've been wasting both of our time."

Kaito scoffed at the man, but noticed the man himself had realized something and had gotten a glint in his eyes as a result. "Tell me Kaito, are you proud of being strong… ?"

"So what if I am… ?"

"Then… it would be insulting for you to merely die strapped onto an operating table, correct?"

"… . What do you mean… ?"

"You are held within a police department young man. It would not take long for higher ups to hear of your situation and try getting answers from you. And I can't leave this room in good conscious without telling you this; they don't need you to be alive to extract information."

"… ." That was enough to silence Kaito. He refused to die as some lab experiment dammit! He was definitely going to punch the face of whoever sent him here for reviving him! His death by Kazuraba's hands was perfect! He was content with dying in battle, especially in a battle that decided the fate of their world!

"Kaito. I'm merely an experienced Hunter who now runs an Academy to train the future generation. There, the students are expected to go on missions to get a taste of what it's like to be on a Huntsman Mission. If you join my Academy, then not only you gain protection of all Combat Schools, but you would also be able to refine your strength to it's peak." The man offered to Kaito, who stared at the table as he pondered on what his choice should be.

He had been offered more power once. By a madman who wanted to reach Godhood. He declined, as it meant chaining himself to the madman and being expected to do his bidding without question. By the silver haired man in front of him… he was merely offering the chance for Kaito to gain more experience. Something he knew he needed if he wanted to stay amongst the strong.

Kaito knew had he gained more experience, he could defeat anyone who stood in his way without expanding too much power. Just like with that masked man. He was not pushing himself to the limit when he battled Kaito. And it infuriated Kaito that he was defeated before he had the chance to use more of his power.

Making his decision, Kaito answered:

"Fine. I'll join your little school. If, only to see more of this World."

"Beacon Academy, huh?" Kaito muttered to himself as he stared outside of the window of the aircraft he was riding in. An airship, they called it.

He had to reveal his otherwordly origins to the headmaster of the school, the silver haired man who was named Ozpin, but Kaito did not mind. He was not weak to the point he had to rely on lies and deceit to get anywhere in life. And so, he told Ozpin all about the Sengoku Driver, Lockseeds, Inves, Helheim. Of course, he did not say how he had evolved into an Overlord or how he had to battle Kazuraba to gain the Golden Fruit.

Oh, he told Ozpin about Helheim's true nature and how the evolutionary process goes. Ozpin just assumed that the Woman of Beginning of Earth simply did not chose to give him the Golden Fruit. He was completely unaware of the fact that he had an Overlord hidden amongst his students or how said Overlord would rather destroy the world and make a new one from the ashes than save the world.

Kaito's stomach growled, telling him it requires sustenance or to put it more simply 'it needs food'. Unfortunately, his stomach began acting up when he was on the airship. Meaning he cannot afford to unlock his Rose Attacker and make a quick trip to Helheim without causing mass panic amongst all the students here. He didn't need little brats constantly pestering him for answers he didn't felt like giving.

He could eat one of the Lockseeds he had on hand… but there was a chance his chewing would cause unwanted noise which in turn would gain unwanted attention.

And so, Kaito was forced to resort to Human food. Hopefully his howling stomach would be able to digest a tuna sandwich he bought from the airship port.

… .

Huh, what do you know? He can still eat Human food. Maybe Kazuraba constantly lost his appetite because of his evolution into an Overlord was going too slow?

Seeing no problems from eating Human food, Kaito vigorously tore into his tuna sandwich and finish it within a minute. … And he was still hungry… . Good thing he bought more than one. He finished his second tuna sandwich, then his third. But… he couldn't bring himself to finish the fourth. What a waste… . And he hated wasting food.

"Are you going to finish that tuna sandwich?" Kaito turned his head only to find a girl with a penchant for the color black. Maybe it was because it matched with her long wavy black hair? … Wait a minute. … Long wavy black hair? Black ribbon bow? Black ribbons wrapped around the forearms? … . …Was this girl even trying?

Kaito stared at her eyes, it shining in a brilliant shade of amber. Her eyes honestly reminded of Kaito of a cat. The way they stared at his tuna sandwich also helped with the resemblance. If Kaito imagined that Grimm-like mask on her face… yup, perfect match.

"I supposed I owe my savior that, at least." Kaito stated, with the girl going tense at the realization that Kaito recognized her.

"On second thought, forget it." The girl quickly said as she quickly walk away. As she walked however, her ears picked up the rustling of plastic. Turning around, she caught Kaito's half-eaten tuna sandwich as the young man walked away in the other direction. "H-Hey!"

"I have no need for it. You can take it." Kaito simply stated without even giving her a backhanded wave. Honestly, if the girl was that desperate for a tuna sandwich than he had no problems giving the extra one he had. His appetite had been satisfied anyway, so it would've gone to waste.

As he walked away, however, a blonde haired boy in a white hoodie to go with his blue jeans started running towards Kaito while holding onto his mouth. Kaito soon found out the reason why the boy did so when he barfed all over his modified senior Team Baron uniform.

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry!" The boy quickly stammered out an apology, and Kaito swore he saw Kazuraba in place of the boy. Maybe it was because he first met Kazuraba in a similar situation. They had bumped into each other once, when they were in high school. Kazuraba quickly stammered out an apology, and Kaito quickly considered him amongst the 'weak'.

It was the same here. The boy was weak. And Kaito hated when the weak were oppressed or laughed at in any form. That was why he would spare the boy from a beating. No matter how tempted he was. These were his only clothes at the moment, dammit!

"Tch." Was Kaito's response to the boy before he sought out a bathroom. Luckily, the airship had one and he quickly cleaned himself and his clothes as best as he could. "Four years… ." Kaito muttered as he continued to clean himself up. The education of Beacon Academy lasted for 4 years, something Kaito wasn't all that sure he was okay with. He barely withstood middle school and high school, and was glad he dropped out.

Maybe this was karma for not finishing his education? … And maybe trying to destroy the world.

Well, so long as he doesn't have to deal with any fangirls, then maybe his time at Beacon would be tolerable.

Finishing cleaning himself off, Kaito stared at the mirror; only to find a girl with blonde hair in place of his reflection. From her white clothes and ominous glowing green eyes, Kaito briefly assumed that the girl was the girl he had fallen in love with; Takatsukasa Mai. But then he remembered that Mai had a red right eye with the brown left eye remaining relatively untouched. This girl, however; had green eyes.

"Walk Away Now… Or You Will Be Force To Fight Until The Bitter End, Once Again. Walk away now… So That You Don't Need To Suffer The Same Fate Twice."

Her warning had caused Kaito to scoff at her. Whoever this girl was, she just as kind hearted and naive as Mai. … . … That was supposed to be a bad thing. That was supposed to be a bad thing!

"As I told one of your predecessors, I choose my own fate. And whatever could happen in the future does not scare me. If you're trying to stop a battle from coming then don't bother. I will overcome all obstacles and crush my foes, or die trying." Kaito declared to the blonde girl, who stayed silent instead of responding. She gave him a sad look before disappearing, leaving behind his reflection in the mirror.

Thus begin the tale of Paint the World in Your Colors. Kumon Kaito awakens from his final battle with Kazuraba Kouta, only to find himself spirited away to the RWBY-verse with 14 other stars arriving in Remant at the same time he did. What are these stars? Why is Kaito here? How is the plot going to connect to each other? Is there going to be any shipping involve? Inves? Overlords? Woman of Beginning?

As you've noticed, Chapter One is parallel to RWBY Episode One: Ruby Rose, but instead of Roman, Kaito fought Adam instead and was stuck with having to deal with the result of their fight. Since RWBY only has a four group team some might wonder how I'm going to position Kaito. That will be reveal in a later date. As stated before leave a review!
