I had watched the RWBY series. And to be honest, even though I liked the series for its awesome action scenes, it had a lot of emotional and tragic ones as well. I can see that was probably the reason why it had so many fix fics. Maybe the plot holes in the series meant it was for making fanfics.
In conclusion, this is my Mega Man Star Force x RWBY fanfic.
Personally, I was thinking about adding Bud, but GBLS just doesn't add up compared to GLAS. And I wanted to have a gender-equal team. And giving Luna more opportunities to develop herself as a hero like Mega Man. Sorry, Bud.
By the way, I don't own Mega Man Star Force (which belongs to Capcom), or RWBY (which belongs to Rooster Teeth. Except for a few OCs.
"Speech"
'Thoughts'
"ATTACK!"
"Japanese(translated)"
It was a peaceful day on Earth. Warm breeze, birds chirping, flowers blooming, Viruses waddling and attackin-, wait. What?
Actually, two MalWizards were on the run by someone.
"I told you we should've just hack an ATM! But NO! You just had to go for a joy ride!", yelled one MalWizard.
"Aww come on! That's even more fun than just stealing Zennies.", said the other.
"Not to mention THAT grabbed their attention! Now look what had this got us into!", MalWizard No. 1 ranted as they kept running…..until they reached a dead end of the Wave Road. "Crap."
"Relax, buddy. We got Viruses to give us a hand.", MalWizard No. 2 tapped No. 1's shoulder and pointed at the Viruses guarding their rear.
"I'm just hoping HE doesn't show up today.", No. 1 muttered.
"Pfft. You worry too much.", No. 2 crossed his arms and shook his head in denial.
Too bad Murphy's Law had other plans for them.
A certain red figure was hovering along the Wave Road at high speed.

"*sigh* This is boring, kid.", Omega-Xis yawned in his partner's interface.
"Sorry, Mega. But no one else is currently available to answer this call.", said Mega Man, or specifically, Crimson Joker Mega Man.
"Don't worry. We'll finish this ASAP.", Crimson Joker's visor shone as he pumped his fists and opened his shoulder containers.
"DESTROYER MISSILES!", several missiles launched from the containers. Which hit several viruses but not all of them. "Welp. So much for a one hit kill.", Crimson Joker shrugged.
"MEGA BUNKER!", his arm transformed into Omega-Xis's head and well…...crushed and impaled the last of the viruses with the Bunker's beam stake.
"EEP! IT'S HIM!", the two MalWizards huddled together in fear. After removing the remnant data off his arm, he walked towards the Wizards.
"Look you two. Joy riding is a serious crime, and you know it.", Crimson Joker said calmly, though it didn't hid a slight venom in his voice, making the Wizards shudder even more. "But your lucky that there were no casualties. Not to mention you hijacked an empty car.", he crossed his arms. "So I'll let you two come clean for once. Okay?".
"You really make a good Good Cop impression, kid.", his AM-ian chuckled.
"You heard him. We can stay alive if we do what he says.", MalWizard No. 1 tapped the other Wizard's shoulder nervously. "Surrender, smurrender! We MalWizards never accept defeat!", No. 2 shoved his partner aside and unleashed an electric whip on Red Joker. Big mistake.
"*sigh* Some people never learn.", Red Joker shook his head as he deflected the whip with a swing of his Shield. "Ugh!", the MalWizard flinched.
"Time to finish this.", Red Joker aimed his Mega Buster at the Wizard. "Meep.", he said it. This ain't gonna end well for him.
"DREAD LAZER!", he fired a massive beam of light at the Wizard in point blank range.
"AAAAARRRGGHHH!", No. 2 shouted in pain as he got utterly disintegrated by the beam. All it's left was a tiny glimpse of data floating into the winds.
The other MalWizard was totally shaken by the overkill. Crimson Joker dusted his hands and reverted back to Mega Man. "Now. Where were we?", he turned to look at MalWizard No. 1, who was sweating bullets.
Mega Man had years of experience as a Hero. Fighting many villains. Especially Dark Phantom, Scorpius Hunter, and Orion Overlord. Though it took him a plenty of assistance from his friends. But against MalWizards and Viruses, he hardly needed to transform above Mega Man.

…...
Mega Man arrived at the WAZA HQ, where chief of the Satella Police Commandos, Ace, was waiting.
"Here's the last of them.", Mega Man changed back to his human form, Geo Stelar, while his Wizard, Omega-Xis floated next to him. He then gave the contained MalWizard Data to him.
"Thanks, Geo.", the Commando smiled as he received the data. "You know. It's been years since you've been doing hero duty. Should you, you know, retire?", he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.
"I agree with Ace on this one. Leon seemed to be worthy enough to take our title. I mean, aren't you a little tired being Mega Man? No offense, kid.", Omega-Xis spoke.
"Honestly, I am.", Geo answered. He then pressed his fist onto his chest ,"But I promised to Dad and myself that I'll always use my power to do the right thing.".
"Noble and responsible. And that's why you're my partner.", Omega-Xis chuckled in amusement and gently punched his partner's shoulder.
"I do believe you have a class in 5 more minutes.", Ace's Wizard, Acid, reminded.
Geo checked his class schedule in his Hunter-VG. "Crap! You're right!", he said in a panicked tone. "See you later, Ace.", he waved his hand as he EM Wave Changed and ride the Wave Road.
…...
Mega Man arrived at the front of the Echo Ridge University gate. "Gotta hurry. Gotta hurry!", he mumbled as he unfused from his partner and sprinted into the campus.
"Phew. Made it.", Geo breathed in both exhaustion and relief. The trip from the gate to the lecture hall was decently far, but he managed to arrive with one minute to spare.
He took a seat at the middle of hall, close enough for him to hear the professors' voices as well as interacting with them. He was about to grab a notebook out of his back. If it weren't for his vision suddenly turned black.
"Guess who~?", fortunately for Geo, that soft and familiar voice snapped him out of fear. He chuckled in response, "I don't know? Bud?", he lied playfully.
The culprit, which turned out to be Sonia, lifted her hands off his eyes and crossed her arms. "Very funny, Geo.", she pouted. "I know. And watching you make that face is just so cute, Sonia.", he said, making her blush as she looked away.
"Get a room you two. We're in a public space.", another female voice, belonged to Luna, who was sitting behind the couple, called out to them, both annoyed and jealous. "Yeah! What the Prez said.", said another blond kid named Leon, said teasingly. He was sitting next to Luna.
"Sorry, Prez.", Geo scratched his head in embarrassment. "Anyway, how's your duty as the President of the Counseling Club today?", he asked her.
"It's... ", she paused for a second before resuming, "interesting to say at least.", she sweatdropped. Being a counselor was no easy task for her. Especially when so many students sent her a huge stack of appointment notes. Fortunately, Leon, who was her Vice President, was willing to help her fill in.
"I sure hope we can get a lunch break soon.", a big, fat guy, a.k.a. Bud, spoke out next to Luna. "Bud. Class hasn't even started yet and you're already thinking about eating!? You said you had beef sandwich for breakfast!", Luna spoke in shock. "I can't help it, Prez. I'm hungry.", Bud scratched his hair in embarrassment.
"Of course you're always hungry. You're Bud Bison. The 'Big Eater', whose food fuels the fire within.", his best friend, Zack, raised his hand dramatically, in mock tone. "Heh. You read my mind, Zacky.", Bud wrapped his arm around Zack's neck and rubbed his hair with his knuckles, the nerd was ticklish in response.
"Quiet, everyone. The lecturer's here.", Luna commanded her group once she spotted the lecturer arriving towards her desk.
The Chemistry lecture started as usual. Same goes for the fellow misfits. Geo, Luna, and Zack were the ones who were paying attention to the lecture while taking notes, while Bud fell asleep while blowing a bubble with his nose, Sonia, who was unable to concentrate, shared notes with Geo. Normally, Leon would've fall asleep over a subject he's not interested, but Luna noticed that his eyelids weren't struggling to open. His head was resting on his folded arms on the table, and he was staring in a distance. She raised an eyebrow, 'What are you thinking, Leon?', she thought.
…

Finally, cut to Bud's favourite period, 'lunch time'! Geo and the gang were sitting together at their usual table along with their Wizards. Geo was having a tuna sandwich with Omega-Xis. Sonia had a strawberry cake with Lyra. Luna was having a bento filled with rice, veggie salad and fried salmon with Ophiuca and Vogue. Zack was having a bowl of veggies and seafood with Pedia. Bud was having a large bowl of pork ramen with Taurus. And finally, Leon was having grilled lamb chops with Camo.
"*sigh*. It's been 7 years since we've been partners together.", Lyra said contently. "Indeed. We even went to the same school together. Talk about both convenient and heartwarming.", Ophiuca nodded in response.
(Ever since Leon enrolled in the Echo Ridge Elementary after the Meteor G incident, an ambiguous drug was fired on Luna and triggered Ophiuca's residual data and forced her to EM Wave Change and went berserk. Fortunately with some assistance from Camo Leon, Mega Man managed to defeat her and snapped both Luna and Ophiuca from the drug's effects. Feeling guilty for her crimes, Ophiuca wishes to be Luna's Wizard to make amends. Although a little hesitant, Luna gladly accepted the offer. Not only because it reduces her chance of getting killed by a stray shot in Mega Man's battles, but she also got to fight alongside her knight in shining blue armor.)
"Yup. Once besties, always be besties.", Camo placed his arms behind his head. "Always a chipper. Ya little runt.", Omega-Xis grabbed the Chameleon FM-ian and gave him the noogie. "Yeah. Feels nice to have best friends together. Even in the darkest days.", Geo grinned. "We've always have our best moments.", Sonia leaned next to Geo, who smiled warmly at her.
Luna was scowling at the couple enviously, before turning to look at Leon in concern, who was fiddling with his meal, looking rather depressed. "What's wrong, Leon? You haven't touched your meal.", she asked, making him lift his head in mild shock. "It's nothing. And besides, I am touching my meal, see?", he answered while trying to humor the situation by fiddling his meal harder, but the blonde girl was not buying it. "Nice try. Leon. But I can tell that you're stressing out.". Leon chuckled sheepishly. "If it's about the assignments again you could just ask me, Geo or Zack for help.", Luna consulted, 'Though you could mostly ask me.', she turned away to hide her red face.
"You heard the lady. Just tell her.", Camo nudged his partner's shoulder, who sighed in defeat. "Don't you guys ever felt bored?", he asked. The gang gave confused looks.
Playing (Mega Man X8 : Save and Load)
He stood up from his seat, "I mean. Sure. Fighting virus and criminals is fun and all, but.", he lifted his shoulders. "Ever wonder what it feels like to be in a school that TRAINS superheroes?", his friends were even more confused, where did he get that idea from? "Ya know? Classes that teaches you how to use superpowers? PEW PEW PEW!", Leon start shooting the air with his fingers. "Classes that teaches you how to make weapons?, or maybe classes that teaches you superhero history? Would that be great?", he said.
His friends simply gave him wide eyed looks. Leon was known to have a strong sense of imagination, and he's not too shy to share these with them. But now they're completely dumbstruck. "Leon-kun….", Luna was the first to speak, "That…..was… THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I'VE EVER HEARD!", the blonde club president snapped so loud she made Bud choke on his food.
Resume (Mega Man X8: At the Hunter Base)
Taurus had to smack his back to undo the choking. "*cough*cough*", the big guy cough and wheeze as Zack reached for a glass of water. "Thanks, Zack.", Bud grabbed the glass and chugged the whole thing. "Calm down, Luna.", Vogue patted her partner's back with her stubby paws. Luna breathe deeply before sitting down and adjusted her glasses. "Seriously. Where did that idea come from?", Sonia asked. "From a superhero anime.", Camo answered bluntly. "Of course you do.", Zack rolled his eyes.
"Leon.", Luna looked at him. "We're already superheroes by the time we had our Wizards since the elementary days. Self-taught even. Can't you just appreciate a normal life for once?", she scolded. Ophiuca raised an eyebrow in response. "Honestly, ever since we've been living with you, there's no such thing as 'normal'", Ophiuca raised her arm dramatically. "Okay, a 'slightly normal' life.", Luna backpedaled.
"Actually, I think that's a great idea.", Geo pointed his spoon. "Many FM-ians have began living with us, and even started a civilization underneath Earth. Perhaps just not today, but still possible.", he added. Leon sighed happily, he had been keeping that thought in his heart for weeks. "Thanks guys. I really want to get that out of my chest. I'm just glad to get some opinions from all of you.", he turned to look at Luna, "Especially you, Prez. You're the best girlfriend I could've wish for.", the blonde boy gave her a big hug.
…...
Luna had never felt so embarrassed in her life, if her extremely red face doesn't prove it. But it was worth it for her, despite the fact that she claims to have a crush on Mega Man, for some reason her heart was dead set on Leon. It wasn't even helped that one time during high school, Ophiuca and Vogue kept teasing her muttering about saying 'I love you, Leon.' instead of 'Mega Man' in her sleep, which gets increasingly frequent during her interactions with the blonde idiot, and she kept frantically brushing it off in denial. On Leon's side of the story, Camo asked him if he loved the Prez, he hesitantly answered yes with a blush, because to him, she was like a big sister he could ever dreamed of.. But that's another story for another time. All I could say that now that Leon and Luna have finally became official couples, much to Geo and Sonia's joy. At least their Prez got a real boyfriend.
…..
"L-Leon! Not in public, please!", Luna was still blushing furiously from the prolonged hug. She noticed a few various reactions from their friends. Geo was smiling warmly at the couple, Sonia, as well as the female Wizards were giggling, her lackeys, and their Wizards gave dumbfounded looks, Omega-Xis and Camo were taking pictures using their partners' Hunters. Leon swore he heard some snickers from his Wizard. "Sorry. Always wanted to do that.", Leon released the hug, both turned away with red faces.
"I'm surprised you're still calling her Prez instead of Luna-chan. She even called you Leon-kun on some occasions.", said Sonia. "That's because I'm used to calling her that.", Leon retorted.
RIIIT-RIIIT!
As they continue chatting, they heard a ringing noise coming from their Hunters and pulled it out in response. "It's from Ace.", said Geo in a serious tone. Everyone answered. "Guys. Meet me at the WAZA HQ immediately.", he said on the Hunter. "Yokai. (Roger.)", everyone answered as Ace hung up. "Ikuzo, mina! (Let's go, everyone!)", Geo ordered his friends.
…..

Geo and the gang arrived at the WAZA HQ. "You're still carrying that backpack, Leon-kun?", Luna noticed that his boyfriend was carrying his signature backpack, or the 'Hammerspace Bag' as he called it. "Hey, gotta be prepared for any situation.", Luna simply rolled her eyes at his response.
They met up with Ace, Aaron, Kelvin, the WAZA chief, Dr. Goodall, Jack, Ms. Tia and Heartless at the control bridge. "Hey, Ace. Hey, Dad. What's up?", he asked the SP Commando and his dad, Kelvin. "Just in time, Geo. We've spotted a strange anomaly in Wazzap.", Ace pointed at the screen showing a black swirl of energy located deep in the forest.
"A portal?", Lyra pointed out.
"Looks like it. But the portal doesn't show any EM Wave readings. Even Orion or King Cepheus would leave EM Wave radiation when creating portals.", Aaron explained. "So. You want us to investigate that portal up close?", Taurus bluntly asked. "Well, you kids are the best members of the Satella Police Commandos.", said Ace. "Especially you, Geo. You ain't the leader of Team Star Force for nothing, kiddo.", Kelvin brushed his son's hair. "Geez. Thanks, dad.", said Geo.
"We won't let you down, Ace.", Geo saluted as the gang, minus Zack and Pedia (who act as mission control for the team.) went into the teleport pods. Everyone raised their Hunters.

Team Star Force arrived at Wazzap Forest. "Okay, so. We should look for the big swirly energy thingy in a middle of the forest full of green trees. Shouldn't be too hard to find.", Camo Leon said as everyone looked around. "No need to be sarcastic, Leon-kun.", Queen Ophiuca expressed in annoyance. "I'm not.", the Chameleon Kid shrugged. "Guys, we found it.", Taurus Fire pointed at the portal.
"So. What now? Should we check it out?", Harp Note asked. "Maybe. But not too close. We don't know what that portal can send us to.", said Mega Man. "Aww. That's boring.", Camo Leon pouted. Queen Ophiuca was silently giggling at his cute act.
"Uh, guys? Is it just me, or is this place is getting breezy by the minute?", Camo Leon noticed the sudden change in the winds. Soon the winds grew stronger and stronger to the point that the lighter EM Humans are being swept off their feet (or tail in Queen Ophiuca's case.).
Playing BGM: (Mega Man X8: Inferno - Going Up)
"ACK! IT'S THAT PORTAL!", Mega Man noticed that the portal is growing larger as it began sucking everything in. "HELP! WE'RE BEING SUCKED IN!", Camo Leon shouted. Taurus Fire used his weight to grab the remaining members of Team Star Force. Using his left arm to grab Mega Man, who was holding Harp Note, and his right to grab Queen Ophiuca, who was holding Camo Leon. "HOLD ON, EVERYONE!", Taurus Fire struggled to hold his ground, but the portal grew bigger and bigger, trying to counter the Fiery Bull's strength.
Eventually, his strength gave in as he tripped and released his friends by accident. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!", everyone got sucked into the portal, which proceeded to disappear, leaving a dumbstruck Taurus Fire behind.

"What am I gonna tell Ace and Mr. Stelar now!?", he panicked. "Just tell him that Geo needed to stay behind.", Taurus whispered. "Nice try Bud. We saw the whole thing.", Ace said through the mission control.
"Now what!? How are we gonna find Geo and the others?", Zack panicked. "Don't worry about it. Mega Man's a tough son of mine.", said Kelvin as he tapped the bookworm's shoulder. Ace sighed, "If you say so. Taurus Fire, head back to base.", he ordered.
"Besides. They're gonna have a very interesting adventure ahead of them.", Kelvin smirked.
…...
Everything happened so suddenly in just one day. The first thing Geo remembered was a mysterious portal sucking up him and his friends, and the next thing he knew, everything went black.
"Kid. Kid! Hey, get up!", he thought in relief when he heard the voice of his Wizard. "Ugh…..", he groaned as he opened his eyes. "*sigh* Good. You're awake.", Omega-Xis sighed in relief. "Guess I'm still Mega Man. At least I'm not entirely defenseless.", Mega Man groggily stood up. He then tried to call the others, but only got static screens. "Damn. There's no signal in this place.", he growled.
Omega-Xis looked around as he noticed that they were in a forest of some sort, but it was different from Wazzap, "Either we're in a middle of a forest, or in a completely different world. After all, we could just blame the portal for splitting us up.". "Well. We'd better find them before something bad happ-Did you hear something?", just as Mega Man was about to move, he heard a growling noise.
"I heard it too.", Omega-Xis answered. Mega Man readied his arm cannon and aimed at the rustling bushes, "Show yourselves!", he shouted at the source as it obliged, but what the source looked like is what really caught them of guard.
"What the hell is that!?", Omega-Xis yelled.
It was a jet black creature resembling a bear. It had white bony spikes on it's back and shoulders, it also had a white mask-like bone covering its face, with blank yellow eyes and red linings. "That's no ordinary bear, that's for sure.", Mega Man shuddered by the ominous aura the creature emitted, still aiming his Mega Buster at the creature.
*ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRR!!!*
The creature roared in response, nearly blowing Mega Man down. "Heh. That ain't scarin me, big guy.", Omega-Xis mocked at the creature, causing it to lunge towards Mega Man. He used his thrusters to dash sideways and fired an energy ball at the creature, though it didn't flinch too much thanks to it's large body.
"Careful, kid. That thing's no virus. I'm not sensing any EM Waves around it.", Omega-Xis mentioned. Mega Man nodded. The creature roared with rage as it charged again with open claws.
"SHIELD!",Mega Man used his Shield to block the claws. He then swung the shield to make it flinch. "BATTLE CARD! LONG SWORD!", Mega Man transformed his other arm into a sword and sliced the creature in half. He then turned around to look at the lifeless body as it began to dissipate into dust.
"Okay. That's weird.", Mega Man muttered.
"And it's not alone.", Omega-Xis said. More of the same creatures appeared and surrounded Mega Man. "Ready to go buck wild, Mega?", he smirked at his partner as he readied his battle stance. "You bet I am!", Omega-Xis cracked his knuckles in Mega Man's HUD.
Playing BGM (SRW OG: Steel Beowulf)
The first creature charged forwards, but Mega Man dodged the attack and sliced it's head off. "BATTLE CARDS! GREAT AXE! IMPACT CANNON!", Mega Man transformed his arms into a wood elemental axe on the right arm, and a pale purple cannon on the left. He then dashed at another creature and sliced and diced before kicking it towards another. He then blasted the cannon at another bear-like creature. Another one swiped it's claws at Mega Man, who blocked it with his axe arm, "Big mistake.", he smirked and blasted the creature in the face, causing it to howl in pain. Mega Man used the opportunity to slam the axe arm onto the creature's face. The creature dropped dead before vaporizing.
Mega Man then saw another bear-like creature approaching from the shadows, but what set it apart was that it was slightly bigger than the rest, same goes for it's spikes on it's back.
"I'm guessing that's the leader of the bunch.", Omega-Xis deduced. The creature roared before leaping forward. Mega Man blocked the claw with the axe. But what he didn't expect was that the greater creature swinging it's other claw right at his midsection. "Argh!", Mega Man winced, but the creature wasn't giving him any chance to react. It then grabbed Mega Man with it's jaws and threw him to it's right. "Agh!", Mega Man rolled on the ground once before landing on his feet. Both his arms turned back to normal."Damn! It's a bit smarter than the rest!", Mega Man clutched his midsection. "Told you not to let your guard down.", said Omega-Xis. Mega Man was about to unleash his shield as the creature charged at him.
*BANG!*
Only to get shot aside by an unknown gunfire. "What the!?", Mega Man was dumbstruck.
Pause BGM
"Hey, ugly! Why don't you pick on someone your own size!", a female voice shouted at the creature as she walked out of the shadows though she sounded like she was pretty eager to fight the creature, if her hopping in a boxing stance doesn't prove it.
She's a young and rather…...busty adult human with blonde wild hair reaching her waist with a strand standing up. She has lilac eyes. She wore an orange scarf around her neck and a brown crop jacket with short puffy sleeves and a yellow undershirt showing some cleavage and her midriff. She wore a brown belt over her black short shorts with a brown back half-skirt with clear lilac cloth underneath and a right pocket with some sort of a yellow flower emblem. She wore brown hunting boots with orange socks, though the right one was pulled up above her knee with lilac cloth wrapped around the ankle. Around her black fingerless gloves were a pair of yellow gauntlets encasing her wrists.
"Come on!", the blonde girl gestured her hand to taunt the greater creature. It roared madly and charged forward. But the blonde brawler ducked underneath and unleashed a left jab to the creature's gut, "HIYAH!", then an uppercut on the creature's chin. But what really surprised Mega Man was that he heard a gunshot from the girl's gauntlet which sent the creature flying up.
"Whoa!", Mega Man was shocked by the revelation. "Hey. Are you alright?", another female voice snapped him out of trance. Mega Man saw that the voice came from a black haired girl.
This girl's black hair also reached her waist, though her's was less wild than the blonde one and she had yellow eyes. Atop her hair was a black bow that resembled cat ears. She wore a black scarf around her neck. She wore a white sleeveless undershirt baring her midriff, underneath a black vest with coattails, held together by one silver button. She wore white short shorts with zippers, full dark purple stockings and black short boots. She had black flower emblems printed on the stockings. She wore black ribbons on both wrists and a black detached sleeve on the left arm. She seemed to be carrying a weapon that appeared to be a black sheathed katana with a black loose ribbon on it's hilt.
Geo wasn't sure what to say. He was still entranced by the encounter of two beautiful girls. The blonde girl's appearance could describe a certain form of tomboyish lust, as if she meant to wear a revealing outfit just to flirt with any boy she meets. In other words, her looks just screams sexy. While the girl in black is basically a blatant epitome of 'emo teen'. Mysterious, but it just makes her more beautiful. Geo couldn't help but blush by the fact that he just got rescued by again, two beautiful girls. Fortunately for him, his love for Sonia overpowered their charms. 'No. Bad Geo! Sonia's still my girl! Don't let them get turn on me!''.
"Hello?", the emo girl snapped her fingers at his face. "Y-yeah. I'm okay.", he nodded. In actuality, he was really confused. First he was fighting a pack of wolf-like monsters in a middle of a forest, only to get saved by two girls armed with weapons, and they didn't look like they even need to EM Wave Change to fight them. "Good. Because that Ursa Major just called for reinforcements.", the black haired girl said as more of said lesser creatures appeared.
'Ursae? So that's what they're called.', Mega Man thought. He then saw the girl unsheathed her sword. 'Is that, a pistol?', Mega Man noticed that the hilt of the sword is actually indeed a pistol. The girl then proceeded to slice a few of those…...Ursae, while shooting some with the sword-pistol. "Heads up!", the girl warned Mega Man of another Ursa sneaking behind him. She threw the pistol towards the creature, in which the blade of the weapon folded backwards, making it resemble a kusarigama. The weapon planted itself on the Ursa's skull. The girl then pulled the kusarigama by the ribbon, sending herself towards the beast and sliced it's body with her sheath, killing it. 'Sugoi.(Awesome.)', Mega Man thought in amazement, but he immediately snapped out of his thoughts when another Ursa raised it's claw behind her.
"WATCH OUT!" he tried to warn her, but the claw already landed on her. But instead of seeing a pool of blood as he would expect, the girl simply…..vanished, then reappeared above the beast and stabbed it's head to death. "What the heck!?", Mega Man jawdropped at the sight. Did she just perform some sort of 'Substitution Technique'?
"It's my Semblance.", she answered flatly as she resumed her attack. Mega Man simply froze in utter confusion.
"Well. Aren't you gonna let the girls have all the action, kid?", Omega-Xis asked him. The Blue Bomber shook his head. "Of course not!", Mega Man said as he crossed his arms.
"STAR BREAK!"
"FOREST DRAGON!"
Resume BGM
Mega Man released a bright green light as leafy winds surrounded him. The girls and the creatures were forced to cover their eyes. Once the light vanished, Mega Man reemerged in his Forest Dragon armor. (This form is an upgraded version of Green Dragon suited for hand-to-hand closed combat. It has Dragon Sky's head on each shoulder. His arms have reinforced claw guards, which can fold backwards when not in use. The legs have vents on the outward parts, which can unsheath three blades for increased kicking damage. His tail is much longer and can produce a green energy whip for longer reach.)
"Now it's your turn to be amazed!", FD Mega Man readied his battle stance. He then proceeded to dash and punched a few Ursae with his claw guards. "DRAGON ROCKETS!", the dragon heads detached from his shoulders and attached to his hands as he launched them at some more Ursae. "THOUSAND FISTS!", he threw a barrage of punches at half of the group. "WOOD BOMB!", Mega Man clasped his hands together and threw a green ball of energy, which exploded at the creatures.
"Oof!", the blonde brawler was flung right towards FD Mega Man and the black haired girl. The blonde stood up, "That's one tough Major.", she dusted herself like nothing happened. 'She just shrugged it off? Those attacks could've killed an average adult. Just what the heck is this place?', Mega Man thought. 'Think later. That beast is still up and running.', to prove his Wizard's point, the Ursa Major roared furiously at the trio. "We'd better wrap this up.", FD Mega Man said as he dashed towards the beast. The beast was about to swing it's claw, only to turn into a block of ice thanks to an ice bullet.
"He's all yours, Blue!", the blonde brawler shouted, her gauntlet's barrel was smoking. FD Mega Man nodded at her before jumping up.
"STAR FORCE BIG BANG!"
"ELEMENTAL CYCLONE!"
The leg blades unsheathed as he started spin kicking in the air, forming a massive tornado of leaves which proceeded to slice and dice the frozen beast. The girls held on to some trees to avoid getting sucked by the tornado. As the beast got shredded into nothingness, the tornado disappeared. FD Mega Man landed on the ground and changed back to Mega Man, who panted in exhaustion. "Phew. We did it.", Mega Man said.
BGM ended.
"Nice moves, handsome. And awesome armor you got there. Ruby would definitely liked to see that.", the blonde praised at him. "Uh… Who?", Mega Man tilted his head in confusion. "Whoops. That's sooooooo rude of me.", she shook her head and lifted her shoulders.
"Yang Xiao Long's the name! Punching Grimm is my game!", the girl, now named Yang introduced herself as she punched the air. She then pointed her thumb at the black haired girl, "This babe next to me is my partner, Blake.".
"Blake Belladonna.", the black haired girl gave her full name. "So, what's your name, handsome?", Yang held her chin with flirty tone in her voice. Blake shook her head at her partner's approach. Mega Man blushed, "Er… Mega Man?", the Blue Bomber flustered. "Oooh. That's a hunky name for a guy like you.", Yang winked at him, making him blush harder. "Hehehe. Looks like you forgot to turn your 'Chick Magnet' off again.", Omega-Xis snickered in his partner's Mega Arm. "Shut it, Mega.", he whispered. "Who said that?", the blonde brawler raised her eyebrow. "Er… That's my AI talking.", he answered.
"I doubt that's a real name. And I don't think I remember seeing you at the starting point of the initiation.", Blake held her chin in curiosity. "Um.. That's because I was sent here to test this armor for it's full capabilities.", the Blue Bomber fibbed. If he told them that he was dragged from a different world, they'll think he's crazy.
"So. The Atlesian Military sent you to test the armor, in Emerald Forest, in a middle of our initiation? Wouldn't that be dangerous?", the ninja girl asked. "Uh, yes?", he replied nervously, not sure if he could keep lying much longer as Blake grew even more curious. "Okay. As much as we like to stay and chat. But, we gotta go finish this initiation.", Yang broke the conversation. Blake eventually sighed, knowing that this test won't last forever and walked along with her. "You can come with us if you want.", Yang winked at Mega Man. "Um.. Thanks?", he eventually obliged. 'Welp. Better than nothing, I guess. I hope the others have better luck than I am.', He wondered. "Oh. I almost forgot. Who's Ruby?", the Blue Bomber asked Yang. "My little sister. She's also in this initiation.", she replied. "I'd better warn you though. She's a weapons geek."

"Sonia? Sonia!?", Sonia groaned at the voice of her partner as she struggled to get up. "Nnggh… Thanks, Lyra.", Sonia shook her head as she examined herself. She was still in her Harp Note form. She sighed in relief as she tried to call the others, but only got statics. "I can't reach them.", she shook her head in defeat. "Well. Good thing you're not alone.", said Lyra. "Guess we'll just have to search the area till we find them.", Harp Note said as she began walking around, hoping to find any signs of life in this mysterious place the portal had sent her. "I think I hear something.", Harp Note noticed some faint voices, by the sounds of it, they don't belong to Luna, Vogue or Ophiuca. "Hope whom we'll meet are friendly.", as she walked towards the source, she saw two girls, one in red was sitting on the ground with folded arms in ire of another girl dressed in white, pacing back and forth.
The girl in red has short black hair with red short bangs, though a bit longer on the right. She was wearing a black long-sleeved dress tightened with a black corset with a short skirt and red frills at the edges of the sleeves and skirt with black tights. Her dress had a silver belt where rose emblem on the right side of her belt and some silver bullets on the left and she wore a pair of black riding boots as well as a red cape with a hood on her back. She seemed to be carrying a red case on her back. But the most interesting thing is that she has silver eyes, which according to Harp Note, the trait was extremely rare on Earth. And judging by the look on her face, she seemed rather irritated at the girl in white.
The girl in question has snowy white hair tied with a black tiara into a ponytail on the right side. Her eyes were icy blue. She wore a white strapless dress with a short skirt underneath her white bolero jacket with hints of pale blue on the edges and red on the underside, as well as a silver necklace over her neck. The back of her jacket has a pure white snowflake emblem. She also wore white boots. On the left side of her hip was a silver rapier with a revolver barrel with multi-colored slots around the rapier. The most intriguing part of her is that she had a scar on her right eye. Given that she was carrying a weapon with her, it wasn't surprising how she got that.
Judging by their looks, Sonia could easily describe their appearances. The girl in red evokes cuteness and innocence, just like herself. While the girl in white evokes elegance and perfection, just like a certain blonde girl she knew.
"Alright. It's official. We passed it.", said the girl in white. The girl in red stood up. "Why can't you just admit that we're lost?", she asked. "Because I know exactly where we're going. To the Forest Temple.", the girl in white retorted. 'Forest Temple? So there is a landmark in this place? If only I can call Geo and the others to find the place, we can regroup.', Harp Note wondered. The red hooded girl groaned in response. "Come on. You don't know where we going either.", the white clad girl scoffed at her. "At least I don't pretend that I know everything like you do!", the girl in red snapped. "What's that supposed to mean?". "It means you're a big jerk and I hate you!", the girl in white simply shrugged at her outburst.
'*sigh* I had enough of this.', Harp Note huffed at the commotion and decided to step in, alerting the two girls. They were about to reach for their weapons, but eventually calmed down when they saw her.
"What are you doing here? You don't look like you're from the initiation.", the girl in white asked. "And what's with the outfit? You looked like your fr-", her question was ignored as the girl in red ran towards Harp Note with sparkling eyes.
"Ohmygosh! Youlooklikeasuperhero! Areyouonasecretmissionorsomething!? Isthatyourweapon? CanIseeit!?", Harp Note was baffled by her sudden fangirlism aimed at her. Last time she remembered, the same thing was done by Leon.
"Whoa! Calm down, please. One question at a time.", the Pink Songstress raised her arms in defense. "Whoops, sorry. I'm a total sucker for weapons and Huntresses", the girl in red scratched her head in embarrassment.
"I'm Ruby Rose! Nice to meet ya!", she cheerfully offered her hand to Harp Note.
"I'm...Harp Note. Pleased to meet you too!", she shook her hand with a wink.". Ruby squealed at the name. "You really are a superhero!", she said as she tried to examine the guitar on her back. "Don't touch me!", the guitar, or Lyra warned Ruby, startling her. "Sorry. My AI only allows me to handle this weapon.", Harp Note then held her guitar and showed it to Ruby. "Wow! A talking weapon! It's so cool!", her eyes were sparkling at her weapon. "What else does it do? Does it shoot sonic waves? Can it transform into another weapon?", the redhead asked. "Actually. Yeah. It can do more than those.", she answered, making her drool at the sight. "Um. I think you broke her.", Lyra said.
"*ahem* As much as I like to watch her fangirling over your weapon, Harp Note. You still need to answer MY questions.", the girl in white walked up to Harp Note. "What are you doing here? What's with the armor? Why would you refer to yourself by a code name?", she gave her the pointer finger. "Well, I-", Harp Note nervously tried to avoid the question, fortunately Ruby snapped out of her trance to intervene. "Stop it Weiss! All you need to know is that Harp Note is a superhero and she's on a secret mission to do, well, superheroing!", Ruby scolded the white clad girl, now known as Weiss. Harp Note sighed in relief, she would have no idea how long she'll have to lie about her identity in a mysterious place. 'Geez. She reminds me of Luna.', she muttered.
Ruby sighed and turned to the Pink Songstress, "Harp Note. This is Weiss Schnee, a.k.a. the cold-hearted Ice Queen.", she said dejectedly. "Hey! I'm not Ice Queen!", Weiss retorted. "Yes you are!", Ruby scoffed. "No I'm not!". "Are too!". "Am not!". Soon the two girls bumped heads as they growled at each other, while Harp Note facepalmed.
Suddenly they heard growling noises surrounding them, revealing the wolf-like creatures. The creatures appear to be capable of standing on their hind legs, just like a werewolf They're jet black in color. They have bony spikes aligned vertically on their back and a few spikes on their shoulders. They also have a white bony mask on their faces, with blank yellow eyes and red linings.
"Now look what you did! You're anger brought the Grimm to us!", Weiss pointed her finger at Ruby's face. "My fault!? It's because you're acting like a jerk that's got the Beowulves here!", Ruby waved her arms in retaliation. Both were too busy arguing to notice a Beowulf pouncing at them.
Playing BGM (SRW OG: Silver Fallen Angel)
"MACHINE GUN STRING!", the Beowulf was caught by Harp Note's guitar strings. She then plucked the strings, causing them to move erratically and shredded the Grimm into pieces. "SHOCK NOTE!", she summoned two speakers to blast away more Beowulves. The two girls looked in shock. Harp Note looked at the two girls angrily, "Cut it out you two! If we wanna get out of this alive, I suggest you stop bickering and start fighting these, Grimm!", she fumed. The girls glared at each other. Weiss sighed, "Very well. It would be a disgrace for an heiress like me to die in the middle of the initiation.", she then pulled out her rapier and assumed a fencing stance. Ruby then pulled out her red case. Harp Note swore she heard mechanical clanking noises coming from the device as it unfolded into a massive scythe! Harp Note jawdropped at the, well, scythe.
"Pretty cool, huh? This is my sweetheart, Crescent Rose!", Ruby patted her weapon as if it's alive, earning an awkward look from the Pink Songstress. Too bad it's not, compared to Lyra. Weiss simply ignored the Red Reaper and began thrusting her rapier at some Beowulves. She then summoned a white glyph in front of her and shot lightning bolts from her rapier. She then stabbed the ground and summoned a pool of ice. She then started skating gracefully towards some struggling Beowulves and slashed them.
"Wow. Just, wow.", Lyra said in amazement. "You ain't seen nothing yet.", Ruby took her turn as she swung her scythe at some more Grimm. Harp Note couldn't help but noticed that her scythe had some sort of a gun muzzle on the top of the blade and an ammo clip on the pole, which Ruby used the firing recoil to boost herself around as she swiftly slashed the beasts. She then flipped a switch on her scythe as it transformed into, a sniper rifle! "Eat this!", she then proceeded to shoot some Grimm with the weapon. Lest to say that Harp Note was amazed was an understatement.
"Come on, partner. Let's show them some tricks of our own!", the FM-ian exclaimed. "Right!", Harp Note nodded and pulled out two cards. "BATTLE CARDS! STRIKE EDGE! BLAZING EDGE!", both her arms transformed into a lightning sword and a fire sword respectively as she entered her battle stance. 'Alright. Kenjutsu skills, don't fail me now.', she closed her eyes and exhaled calmly. 'Wait for it.', she waited for the first move.
The Beowulves surrounding her and slowly creeping around her, but she kept her ground. It was only when one of the Beowulf lunged forwards her back that she opened her eyes. The next thing the beast remembered is that it was sliced in half. "Hah!", Harp Note dashed around the Beowulves and swung her sword arms at the creatures. The last one swung it's claw at her, but she ducked underneath and swung her lightning arm blade upwards, dissecting it's head. She then turned around and swung her arm blades down. The creature dropped to the ground and disintegrated.
"Well done, Harp Note. Looks like your skills with the swords haven't gone rusty.", Lyra praised her partner. Harp Note giggled, "Thanks.", her arms turned back to normal.
End BGM
She turned in surprise to see a starry eyed Ruby right in front of her. "Wow! Your arms can turn into weapons too!? How did you do that!?", she asked curiously.
"All thanks to her.", Harp Note held up her guitar.
"Your weapon is so cool! What's it called?", Harp Note could only shook her head, amused at the Red Reaper's curiosity.
"Lyra.", she noticed that her partner was smiling warmly in her interface.
Weiss placed her rapier back to her skirt. "Well. Now that the Grimm has been taken care of, we should resume finding the temple.", she started looking around before pointing at one direction. "It's…..this way! I know it.", she walked away confidently.
"Come on, it's this way. I know it. Wa wa, watch where you're going.", Ruby mocked her, "Stop being so bossy!", she yelled.
"I'm not bossy! Stop saying that!", Weiss turned around in anger. "Stop treating me like a kid!", Harp Note could only turn her head at the two arguing girls. "Stop acting like a kid!", Weiss retorted.
Eventually, Harp Note had enough. She went between the two young girls. "Ugh! Break it up, you two! We're not going anywhere if you BOTH keep acting like kids!", she snapped.
"See!? Even Harp Note agrees with me! At least I'm taking action rather than complaining about being lost!", Weiss said angrily.
"I never even asked to be your partner in the first place, if it weren't for those stupid rules.", she stormed off, leaving an irritated Harp Note and a depressed Ruby.
"You don't even know me…..", Ruby said sadly. The Pink Songstress gave her a pat on the shoulder.
"Don't worry about it, Ruby.", she then whispered next to her ear, "I have a friend who used to act like her. But we got along eventually. Maybe it might happen to you too.", Ruby smiled at her words of hope, as she followed Weiss.
"Wow. It's been awhile since you haven't went 'Big Sis Mode', Sonia.", Lyra said. "I guess Luna's temper rubbed off on me.", she scratched her head in embarrassment. "I just hope the others are okay, especially Geo."
…...
"Yo! Wake up, pal!", Camo yelled at his partner to get up. "Ngh. Five minutes, mom.", Leon groaned. 'Welp, better do this the ol'fashioned way.', Camo mumbled as he rubbed his hands to charge them up with electricity.
"YEEEOOOWWW!", Leon shouted in pain from the electric jolts from his partner. "Not *buzz* funny *buzz*, dude.", Leon said groggily while twitching. "Look on the bright side. At least you're in my armor.", Camo shrugged as Leon checked himself, he was indeed in his Camo Leon form.
"Phew. Things just got crazier and crazier by the minute, don't they?", Camo complained while his partner tried to call his team, but no luck. "Dagnabbit! No signal.", Camo Leon shook his head, "Better start walking.". "First we got sucked up by a weird portal, then we ended up in a forest of nowhere. If I see a knight and a spartan in this place, I'm gonna scream.", Camo babbled. Too bad fate decided to mess with him as he and Camo Leon indeed spotted a young blonde man dressed as a knight and a young female redhead dressed as a gladiator.
The young man had short blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing white chestplate and shoulder pads with gold accents over a black short-sleeved hoodie. He wore brown fingerless gloves with orange sleeves that reached his elbows. He wore blue jeans, brown belt and black sneakers. His weapon is a sword stored in a white sheath placed on his left hip.
The young woman standing next to him has long scarlet hair styled in a ponytail and green eyes. She wore a bronze breastplate that slightly bared her midriff. She wore a bronze circlet and gorget. She wore long black gloves, while the left one was clad in armor and she wore a bronze bracelet on the upper part of her left arm. She wore a red sash over her black skirt, which also had a bronze disk, which had her emblem on it. Finally, she wore long black boots, both were covered in bronze armor as well. Her weapon is a circular bronze shield and a bronze xiphos (spartan sword) stored on her back.
Camo was completely baffled on how accurate those two people resembling how he described. "Not. One. Word.", he said coldly, earning a snicker from his own partner. "Hey!", Camo Leon shouted at the two, earning their attention. He then ran towards them.
"Oh, Hello.", the gladiator girl waved at him politely. "What are you doing here? I don't recall finding you at the start of the initiation.", the spartan girl asked him. "I'm lost. So I was thinking about tagging along, so. Please?", he begged. "Sure. Can I ask who you are?", the redhead asked him again.
"Glad you asked. The name's Camo Leon! A.k.a. the Chameleon Kid!", he pressed his thumb on his chest with pride. "Wow. You really made yourself looked cool. I wish I can do that to impress Weiss.", the blonde knight fidgeted his fingers in defeat. "Don't worry, Jaune. I think you'll be great.", the redhead patted his back.
"Anyway. I'm Pyrrha Nikos.", she introduced herself.
"I'm Jaune Arc. Rolls off the tongue, ladies love it.", the blonde said confidently. "Do they?", Camo Leon and Camo gave deadpan looks at him. "Never mind.", Jaune looked down in dismay, until he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it, Jaune. I'm sure you'll be a great Huntsman.", said Pyrrha.
'That's so cool! I mean just look at them. They look like superheroes! You know what that means?', Camo Leon thought to his partner. 'That your wish to be in world of superheroes?', Camo was fully aware of what his partner thought. "You know it!", Camo Leon raised his fist excitedly, unaware that it earned him awkward stares from the blonde and the redhead. But before they could ask, they heard growling noises.
"Uh. Wasn't me.", Camo Leon gripped his stomach, blushing. Then the growling noises continued.
"Grimm.", Pyrrha said while pulling her xiphos and her shield from her back. Jaune pulled his sword out of the sheath while the latter collapsed into a triangular shield.
"Who?", Camo Leon tilted his head, as several Beowulves emerged from the shadows.
"GRIMM!", Jaune yelled in fear, prompting one of the Grimm to launch itself at the blonde knight.
"CAMO AKIMBO!", Leon shot the Beowulf away with his SMGs, while Jaune ducked. "Bad dog.", the Chameleon Kid cracked a joke while twirling his guns.
"Jaune! Are you alright?", Pyrrha rushed to the guy's aid. "Yeah, I think I almost wet myself there.", he said. 'Wow. Someone's got issues.', Camo raised a nonexistent eyebrow. 'Yeah. That didn't sound very, knightly.', Camo Leon muttered.
"Stay close to me!", Pyrrha said as she transformed her xiphos into a rifle, shooting a few Beowulves while Jaune sliced a few with his sword.
As Camo Leon turned around, he saw an Alpha Beowulf giving him a very, evil glare. "I'm guessing you must be the leader of the pack. Am I right?", the Alpha only snarled at the Chameleon Kid. "I'll take that as yes. But guess what?", Camo Leon crossed his arms.
Playing BGM (SRW OG: The Watchdog from Hell)
"CAMO CHANGE!"
"WOLF WOODS!"
Bright light flashed around him and nearly blinded everyone. As the light disappeared, Wolf Woods emerged from said light. "I'm an Alpha too!", C!Wolf Woods smirked psychotically.
Pyrrha blinked in shock."HOLY COW! DID HE JUST TURNED INTO A WEREWOLF!? IN THE DAY!?", Jaune freaked out at the sight, snapping her out of it.
"Let me tell you something, punk. I'm the best there is at what I do. And what I do isn't nice!", C! Wolf Woods smirked as he brandished his claws.
C! Wolf Woods dropped on all fours. "RAAAH!", and charged towards the Alpha, who did the same thing. Both wolves began clashing claws at each other. As the Alpha swung it's claw again, C! Wolf Woods jumped back, "WIDE CLAW!", he fired sonic booms from his claws, landing dead center on the elite Grimm. The creature roared in pain. "Mada mada!(Not yet!)", C! Wolf Woods leaped forward and grabbed the Grimm with his jaws. He proceeded to swing the Alpha around and tossed it in the air. He then jumped towards the Grimm that was helplessly floating midair. "DIVING CLAW!", the Werewolf digged his claw onto The Grimm's chest as gravity kicked in and they both crash landed and formed a crater. Both Jaune and Pyrrha covered their eyes from the dust formed in the brawl. As the dust subsided, C! Wolf Woods pulled his claw off the lifeless Alpha.
"GRRRRAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRH!", lifting his head, C! Wolf Woods roared victoriously. He roared so loud that it echoed across the forest, scaring a few birds and the people in there.
BGM End
…..
"What was that?", Yang asked, having heard the roar. Mega Man simply smiled, "It's nothing unusual, I suppose.", he shrugged as he, Yang shrugged as she and Blake kept walking. 'Looks like you made it here, Leon.', he thought in relief.
…...
After the intense roaring, C! Wolf Woods breathed heavily and jumped in front of the two baffled characters. "What? Where's the fun in cosplaying if you don't act the part?", C! Wolf Woods shrugged before changing back to Camo Leon.
"H-how did you turn into a werewolf like that? Was that your Semblance?", Jaune asked. "A what?", Camo Leon tilted his head in confusion.
"Semblance. A trait that defines the ability of all living beings with Aura.", Pyrrha explained while putting her weapons back. Camo Leon blinked, still confused. "It's kinda like a superpower. Everything alive has one. Except the Creatures of Grimm, because they don't have Aura." Camo Leon froze at the sentence.
'Semblance? Aura? I do know what Aura is. But a Semblance? Nope. But it definitely sounds cool.', he pondered. "Anyway, we should go before more Grimm show up.", said Jaune. "You can come with us if you want.", said Pyrrha. Camo Leon nodded and followed them. 'I wonder how the others are doing?', Camo Leon wondered before shrugging, 'Nah. I'm sure they're fine.'
…...
"Mmm…..", Luna groaned in pain, but she managed to get up, earning sighs of relief from her Wizards. "Thank goodness you're alright, Luna.", Ophiuca said through her partner's interface, proving that she was still being Queen Ophiuca. "Yeah, we were worried something might happen to you after we got dumped by the portal.", said Vogue. "Thank you both.", said Queen Ophiuca as she tried to open communications, but no luck. "*sigh* I can't reach out to Mega Man, or Leon, or Sonia. I hope they're okay.", she said nervously. "It's alright, Luna. I'm sure they have their partners with them, since we're fused together.", Ophiuca said assuringly. "If you say so.", said Queen Ophiuca as she slithered around the unknown forest.
After a few minutes of slithering, Queen Ophiuca stopped, "Vogue. Did you hear something?", she asked her rabbit Wizard. "Yeah. I heard it too.", Vogue nodded. The one good thing about her rabbit Wizard is that she has a strong sense of hearing, like an actual rabbit. As she crept closer the Snake Queen saw a sight to behold. A young man fighting a giant snake like creature.
The young man had short black hair with a magenta streak on the right side, tied to a small ponytail. He had magenta eyes. He was wearing a dark green long-sleeved tailcoat with a black diagonal stripe with yellow outlines. He also wore white pants and black shoes. He seemed to be holding a pair of dark green submachine guns with bayonets facing downwards.
The giant snake-like creature was jet black on on half, and white on the other. The creature has two heads, one on each end, with blank red eyes and streaks of red and opposite colors.
The guy was swiftly dodging the beast's lashing heads, while shooting it at the same time. Though with two heads, the creature has a greater advantage. As the guy was too distracted fighting the black head, the white one tackled him from the side, forcing him to drop his weapons in the process.
"NO!", Queen Ophiuca shouted as the black head attempt to eat the man. But to her surprise and relief, the man blocked the creature's fang with his bare hand, that projected some sort of magenta force field. Fortunately for her, her scream caught the attention of the white head, who hissed at her.
"Well. Since you're a snake, I bet you can't resist this!", Queen Ophiuca pulled out her flute and began playing it, expecting it to become entranced by her spell. But what she didn't expect was for the white head to attack her without hesitation. "Argh!", Queen Ophiuca was slammed along the ground as a result. "I don't understand! This works on every snake!", she looked at her flute in confusion. The man then repelled the black head aside to check on her, "That's because the King Taijitu is a Grimm. Not an actual snake.", the man said, his tone was rather calm despite the situation at hand.
'A, Grimm? Are they different from animals?', Queen Ophiuca bit her lips from the answer. The black head of the Grimm recovered and both heads let out a powerful hiss at the two green clad characters. "I'll take the white head! You take the black one!", she instructed the man, who nodded in response and ran in circles. That just leaves her to deal with the white head.
Playing BGM (SRW OG: Treue)
"Okay. Here goes nothing!", Queen Ophiuca readied herself. The white-half of the Taijitu rushed towards her, trying to bite her. "Hup!", the Snake Charmer slid to her right, "SNAKE LEGION! GIANT ANACONDA!", Queen Ophiuca waved her hand as her giant green snake rose from the ground and layed it's jaws on the white Taijitu head. Both her snake and the Grimm wrestled for dominance. Both snakes were equally strong, but she wasn't planning on outpowering the Grimm. "GORGON EYE!", Queen Ophiuca fired her eye beams that pierced through the skull of the white head. Her anaconda released the lifeless half from it's jaws. "Good girl.", the Snake Charmer stroke her anaconda's chin.
"One down, one to go.", said Vogue said, her partner turning to the black head who was striking the man in green. Judging by his fighting style and weapons, he seems to be relying on speed and agility to outmaneuver his enemies, just like Leon. "LAMIA'S FANGS!", she transformed her arms into snake heads and extended them towards the black head, coiling and incapacitating the Grimm. However, Queen Ophiuca was clearly struggling since she's not as strong as Taurus Fire, but at least her Anaconda was gripping the other head.
"Ngh! Alright, sir! Do your thing!", she told the man while still holding the Taijitu. The man nodded and jumped above the Grimm, unleashing bullet hell, before slicing the head to death. The King Taijitu turned into dust as the man landed next to Queen Ophiuca, her snake heads turned back into arms.
End BGM
The man turned to look at her, "Thank you, miss-", a screaming voice of a young woman echoed across the forest. Queen Ophiuca felt a sudden concussion to her abdomen and she was sent flying to a tree. She was about to process what just happened when a foot kept her planted on the ground. "STAY AWAY FROM REN, YOU MONSTER!", the shrill voice belonged to a certain girl who was pointing her grenade launcher at her face. Despite being intimidated, she could still see her features clearly.
The girl had short auburn hair with bangs and turquoise eyes. She was wearing a dark blue sleeveless vest over her white tank top with some hints of blue and red and a teal bow around her pink skirt. Her tank top had a heart shaped hole over her cleavage and she wore white sneakers with pink laces. She wore white elbow warmers and pink fingerless gloves. The weapon she was holding is a grey cylindrical grenade launcher with two handles, the trigger on the back, and a grip under the nozzle, with pink grenades loaded inside, which were enough to scare the charmer.
"Nora, stop! This faunus just save me from the King Taijitu.", the man named Ren said to the orange haired girl, now named Nora. 'Faunus? Is he talking about me?', Queen Ophiuca widened her eyes. Why did he call her a faunus? Heck, what exactly IS a 'faunus'?
Nora looked at Ren with a wide-eyed expression, before looking at Queen Ophiuca again. Then him, then her. "Oh! Sorry! I thought you were controlling that Grimm. Cuz ya know, you look like a snake and all.", she got off the snake charmer and placed her weapon on her back. "I'm Nora Valkyrie! Hi!", she cheerfully waved her hand. She then pointed her thumb at Ren."That guy in green? That's my partner and BFF, Lie Ren.", Ren simply nodded. "What's your name?", she asked.
'Perhaps it's best if you don't tell them your real name, Luna. Even if her personality was rather, questionable.', Ophiuca said to her, suspicious of the girl's sudden change in behavior from angrily overprotective to being bubbly and cheerful. "Um. Queen Ophiuca?", she answered.
"Ooooh! You're a queen of a castle? Which kingdom do you rule?", Nora rushed closer to her face, making her blush for having her personal space invaded. "Nora, please. You're making her uncomfortable.", Ren scolded his partner, making her back away in embarrassment. "Um. I'm not actually a queen. It's just a code name.", Queen Ophiuca told them. "Ah. That explains why you were wearing a mask.", Ren nodded, "So, what are you doing here?", he asked as Nora skipped next to him. "I'm lost. And I'm separated from my team.", Queen Ophiuca answered. "I see.", Ren held his chin. "How about you come with us? You see. We're currently looking for the Forest Temple as part of our initiation. It is the closest landmark in Emerald Forest. I'm sure your team will regroup where the students go.", he said. Queen Ophiuca crossed her arms to think for a minute before nodding her head, "Okay, will do.".
"Yay! More friends to join the hunt! And we got a snake faunus queen on our side!", Nora jumped with joy as she skipped around. Queen Ophiuca gave a confused look, "Is she always like this?". "Yup.", Ren replied flatly.
'She like a combination of Sonia and Leon.', she thought, 'Speaking of which, I wonder how Leon-kun's holding up?'.
…...
Meanwhile, a certain man was gazing at the forest from a high cliff while sipping on his mug of coffee.
He has brown irises and silver grey hair, despite not looking elderly. He wore a black buttoned trench coat, black pants, black shoes and small, round black sunglasses. His green scarf stood out among his black outfit.
"The last of the pairs have been formed.", a young woman said to the elderly man, while observing the Huntsmen through some kind of tablet. The man simply sipped his mug again.
She has long blonde hair tied to a bun, and green irises. She wore a pair of glasses and a white long-sleeved top and a long black skirt over black tights and heels. She also wore a black cape with a purple underside.
The woman shook her head at the screen, "I don't care what his transcripts say. That Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat." She deactivates the tablet before walking back a little, "I guess we'll find out soon enough. At their current pace, they should reach the temple within just a few minutes.", the man said, still looking at the forest.
"What should we do about these four strangers, Ozpin?", the woman asked, shocked by the sudden appearance of Team Star Force among their students.
The man, known as Ozpin took a brief look at the tablet, before giving it back to the woman. "Keep an eye on them.", he said calmly. "Are you sure about this? They don't look like our typical Huntsmen.", the woman retorted. "Just look at their abilities. They're far too powerful to be mere Semblances. And I've never seen a snake Faunus who had a snake tail for legs!". Ozpin closed his eyes and sighed, "Glynda. Remnant is a very strange place. New discoveries are always like strangers to us. Plus they haven't harmed any single student didn't they?.", he lectured. Glynda was still baffled, "But sir-". Ozpin grew annoyed by her negativity, "Glynda, please. Just keep an eye on them.". Glynda could only sigh in defeat. "Yes sir.", she conceded before looking at her tablet.
Ozpin opened his eyes and continued gazing at the forest. 'This will be interesting.', he thought enthusiastically before sipping his coffee again.
So. You're wondering how did Mega Man got his new and improved Star Force armor back? That's because the AM Sages got their full powers back and they decided to reinstall the program into Geo's Hunter-VG, enabling him to use Star Break once again. Don't worry, folks, he can still use the Joker Program, for Noise Change or Finalization.
And the adventure continues, on the next episode of….
