Henshinlegend here to give you a new story. This is a RWBY fic with hints of Kamen Rider Ryuki. To clear things up now, there will be no going into the mirror world or mirror monsters say for one(that will be explained later), and no advent cards. I will take suggestions for semblance powers for the following: Jaune, Ren, Nora, team CRDL, and team CFVY. That's all, anything else I can think of will pe posted in the next chapter. I don't own RWBY or Kamen Rider, just the OC's and the minor tweaks to the RWBY storyline.
The Silver Tiger of Vale
Episode 1: Ruby Rose | Who Was That Tiger In The Mirror
Smoke. Every direction you look, smoke. The ground was scorched beyond recognition and what once was a lush field surround by a seemingly evergreen forest was reduced to barren lands and charred husks of trees. The fire had yet to quell though, continuing to burn blackened stumps as if there was still life left to be leeched from the trees. Patches of brown grass still stood defiantly amongst the carnage. Through out the field and charred forest were the slain and rapidly vanishing corpses of Ursa and Beowulf Grimm. In the middle of this burning land and sea of bodies was the prone form of three silhouettes. Slowly, one by one they each rose.
"Shit, that hurt." Came a female voice from one of the silhouettes.
"Raia, are you okay?" Asked a second female voice from another silhouette.
"Yes Knight, I'm fine. How about you Imperer?" Responded a identified Raia.
"Same. Wait, where's my little brother?" Asked a third female voice by the name of Imperer.
"What? I thought he was with you." Said Knight worryingly.
"Help!"
"Legends," a female voice started, "stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past."
Images of gems glow green and fade to show simple pictures of a man rising from the earth before being surrounded by creatures, barey held back by warriors.
"Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness –creatures of destruction; the creatures of Grimm – set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void."
Black sets in, then suddenly lessens as a light grows brighter and brighter until a gem rises from it and lowers itself into the hands of man.
"However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named Dust."
The scene zooms out to show men shooting lightning, raising swords, and aiming rifles at the retreating beasts as a castle appears behind them.
"Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life."
The castle zooms out to show the world map, which houses other buildings until they disappear in flashes of white and the map is lowered to show the scattering moon over a city at night.
"But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die, and when they are gone... darkness will return."
A man by the name of Roman Torchwick and fourteen of his henchmen head down an alley from the shadows. They stop behind Roman, who reignited his cigar and grins before walking down the road, frightening nearby citizens as they make their way towards the shop From Dust Till Dawn.
"So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called 'free world', but take heed... there will be no victory in strength."
Roman and his henchmen enter the store, approaching the shopkeeper.
"But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten..." A deep, yet sagely, more masculine voice says.
"Things that require a smaller, more honest soul... But remember. If you don't fight you won't survive."
-Near From Dust Till Dawn-
It was nighttime, and people were still out. If you were to look around you would notice everyone just going about their business, but one person stood out in particular. This person was a guy about 16 or 17 years old. He had silver shaggy hair tied up in a ponytail coming down past the shoulder blades. His eyes were a beautiful neon ice-blue. He was wearing black combat boots, black pants and a white shirt with a gold stylized tiger head. Around his neck is a chain with a blue crystal pendant. On his left middle finger is a ring. This was Yami Woshai. As Yami continued walking down the street he heard a commotion. Looking around to see what it was he was rather surprised with what he saw.
-Near From Dust Till Dawn, Yami's P.O.V.-
Here I was, walking around and coming up to a store called From Dust Till Dawn, just minding my own business before I was shaken from my musings when I heard the sound of glass breaking. Looking around, I saw a red blur crash through the window of From Dust Till Dawn tackling a man dressed in a black suit with red-tinted shades. Getting a better look at the red blur I saw, the person turned out to be female. She stood at 5'10, with a pale complexion, silver eyes, and black hair with red streaks. She was wearing a black outfit and skirt along with a red hood. And in her hands, was a red scythe.
Standing in the area where the girl crashed through the shop window, was Roman Torchwick, surrounded by several of his lackeys. A cigar was in his mouth and his cane-cannon was in his right hand.
"Okay," he started, "get them,"
Half of his lackeys charged at me, while the other half attacked the girl in red. Seeing as there were only seven charging at me, I brought out of my pocket a thin blue box that look more like a card deck, or something to hold cards, with a gold stylized tiger head. With the deck in my right hand I thrust my arm out like as if I was just showing them my deck.
Thinking that they had the upper had, two of the lackeys charged at me. Not even worried I continued to stand there looking at them. When they were close enough, I did a roundhouse kick sending them back. I immediately preceded to cross my arms followed by bringing the deck to my waist and sliding it into a slot in my belt.
"Henshin."
From the belt my body soon became encased by a black bodysuit with silver armor that had blue highlights. On my knees, arms, back and the sides of my belt were ports. On the shoulders were pads that looked like claws. My helmet had a visor reminiscent to that of a knight with a yellow jewel on the forehead. Overall it resembled a tiger head.
For a moment the goons were stunned at what they saw before gaining their composure and continuing with their attack. Soon, with a few well-placed punches and kicks, I took them all out.
I looked up to see how the girl in red was faring, and saw that she had taken out her enemies as well. Off to the side, climbing up a nearby ladder, Roman was escaping.
Grunting, I took off after him, the girl not that far behind me. We climbed up the ladder, following the path that Roman took in his escape. On top of the roof of the building, I knew that he had some kind of escape plan, he wouldn't have made it this far in his villainous career if he got caught easily. As I prepared myself for what could happen, I heard a rumbling sound come from where Roman was.
"Persistent..." he says, as a getaway Bullhead rises up and opens its hatch to allow Roman inside.
"End of the line, Red, Tin-Man!" he exclaims smugly, throwing a red Dust crystal at 'Red', aiming his cane-cannon in our direction.
Just as the blast from the cane-cannon was about to impact, a blonde woman jumped in the way holding a wand of sorts. Waving it once in the air, a giant purple crystal seal of sorts appeared, blocking the shot from Roman's cane. After the smoke from the impact dissipated, I saw that the woman was wearing a female business suit and a purple cape, rectangular glasses, and had emerald-green eyes. Waving her wand-like object once again, this time, causing the purple crystals to form into several streaks that shot out at the Bullhead, causing the pilot to struggle with controlling the aircraft. She then shot out a purple ball of energy which caused storm clouds to form and rain down light blue crystals on the ship.
Standing in the area that Roman once stood on the ship, was a woman in red with black hair and orange eyes. The mysterious woman formed a fireball in her hand and shot it at the blonde woman, causing her to form a purple protective barrier around herself. The mysterious woman then formed a fire pillar underneath the woman she was attacking, causing the female blond to jump away before it struck. The blond woman then formed a crystal arrow and shot it at the Bullhead. The mystery woman kept firing fireballs at the crystal projectile, but it kept reforming. The Bullhead shifted down leftward, causing the arrow to bounce off the side of the aircraft, forming three streaks to attack the ship again. The mystery woman shot out a fire pulse of some kind, destroying the crystals.
'Red' shifted her weapon from a scythe into its sniper mode and shot at the mystery woman. All of the shots were deflected by the woman's fire powers, eventually, she formed five fire pillars underneath our feet. I felt my body being pulled by some unknown force, narrowly evading the fire attacks. We watched as the ship flew away, I growled, knowing that Roman got away.
"You're a huntress," I hear 'Red' say to the blond woman, "can I have your autograph!"
As 'Red' said that I snuck away before anything else could happen. Off to the side in a window there was a huge white humanoid tiger watching them before vanishing from sight. Little did I know that it didn't go unnoticed by the huntress.
-Interrogation Room, 'Red''s P.O.V.-
"I hope you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly. You put yourself and others in great danger," the blond woman, now known to be Glynda, said.
"Well to be fair, they started it," 'Red' replied.
"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home. With a pat on the back..." she started, 'Red' started to smile, "... And a slap on the wrist,"
That last part she emphasized by swinging her wand at 'Red', who let out a small "Eeek!"
"But," she started, "there's someone here who would like to meet you,"
As soon as she finishes saying that, she moves out of the way to reveal a man with gray hair, shaded spectacles, a dark green scarf with a small purple cross-shaped emblem on it, an unzipped black suit, and brown eyes. In his hands he held a mug and a plate of cookies.
"Ruby Rose," the man starts, leaning in a bit as he continued talking, "you... have silver eyes,"
"Uh, um..." Ruby started, trying to come up with words
"So, where did you learn to to this?" he asked, gesturing to a screen that recorded the fight with Roman.
"S-Signal Academy," Ruby replies.
"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" he stated more than asked.
"Well, one teacher in particular," Ruby says.
"I see..." the man said, placing down the plate with cookies.
"It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow..." the man states, after recovering from the surprise of the speed that Ruby ate the cookies.
"Mmmm! Thash muh unkul!" Ruby says with a mouthful of cookies, she shallows and wipes her mouth, embarrassingly, she continues, "Sorry, that's my uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal, I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now I'm all like- Hooowaaah! Witchaaaa!"
That last part she finished by making karate-style poses and noises.
"And what are you doing at a school designed to train warriors?"
"Well... I want to be a Huntress," Ruby replied.
"You want to slay monsters?" the man asked.
"Yeah! I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon!" she exclaimed excitedly, talking faster and faster, "You see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, 'Hey I might as well make a career out of it!' I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really, gosh, you know!"
That was followed by a small pause, the man and Glynda analyzing Ruby. After a few seconds, the man spoke again.
"Do you know who I am?" he asked.
"You're Professor Ozpin, You're the headmaster at Beacon," Ruby said. The now identified Ozpin smiled.
"Hello," he said.
"Nice to meet you," Ruby says.
"You want to come to my school?" he asked.
"More than anything," Ruby said.
After exchanging glances with Glynda, who showed a disapproving look, followed by a "Humph", Ozpin turned back to Ruby.
"Well okay," he said.
Ruby looked like she had just hit the jackpot. After Ruby left Glynda turned to Ozpin.
"Why didn't you ask her about him? Was that really the best thing to do? Surely you can't be thinking about letting him come to the academy again are you?" Ask Glynda somewhat worried.
"I didn't ask her about him because I felt there was no need to. And yes I am planning on letting him come back, only if he wants to. I will not force this on him, especially after what happened, though I will admit that it would be nice if he came back… I think it would bring him the closure that he needs." Said Ozpin.
"I suppose so. I only hope this is the right thing to do. If he does decide to come, are you going to make him take the initiation test or just place him on a team?" Said Glenda in a voice suggesting she was less worried although still unsure.
"In the event he does decide to come back, I will have him take the test and place him on whichever team he works best with, that is if he encounters any of them. After all he'll probably just rush through, that way he doesn't encounter anyone." Said Ozpin in a tone suggesting that the conversation was over.
Glynda had walked out of the room leaving Ozpin to his thoughts. 'Yami Woshai, I'm so sorry for what happened. Even if you don't come back, I can only pray you find closure.'
-Aboard the Airship to Beacon, Yami's P.O.V.-
"Urrrggghhh," I said. Damn, I would never get used to these flying vehicles. They just had to fly up so high.
Looking around I saw a blonde, shagy-haired man who through up on some blondes shoes.
"Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross," I heard the blonde exclaim.
"Get- Get away! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me!" Ruby exclaimed shortly after blondie's statement.
"Beacon Academy. Round two, ready…fight." I looked out the ship's window, smiling to myself before my fear of heights kicked in again..
"Why'd I have to look out the window!?"
