RWBY Gaiden (Side Story):

The Duty of Saviors

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or any of its characters, I do own the original characters that appear in this fanfic unless said otherwise.

Prologue: The fall of Mountain Glenn

"Father…" muttered a young boy with crimson hair under a piece of rubble as he watched a man fend off a group of monstrous wolves covered in darkness. He hacked apart the monsters with a medium-sized axe weapon while defending his son.

No one expected a meteor to land in the new settlement of Mountain Glenn, causing enough devastation that left the city's defenders and defenses disabled. The negativity born from the sudden destruction caused the Grimm, the mortal enemies of humanity, to attack the devastated settlement. The downturn situation changed what should had been a peaceful day in life into a fight for life. Every able or at least alive hunter fended off and fought the several Grimm with their personal weapons in order to protect friends, loved ones, and others who cannot protect themselves.

The situation for the man and his buried son was not getting any better with the man slowly weakening from fighting off the monsters of darkness. He managed to cut down what appeared to be the last of the wave of monsters. The man knelt down in exhaustion before looking towards his son in worry.

"Rowan!" shouted the father in worry as he got up and rushed to his son's side. He looked over the object before attempting to lift it. The first time he tried to lift the heavy piece of debris it would not budge. The man let go before trying again. "Come on! Move you stupid piece of-"

"Father…Are we going to die?" asked the young boy named Rowan as he looked at his father with hopeless eyes.

"Don't say that *Grunt* …son! We're getting out of this! Together! I won't lose you like how I lost your mother! That…IS…A…PROMISE WORTH KEEPING! I won't stop until I get you out and into safety!" shouted the man as he tried to lift the stone despite his exhausted state.

"Father…" muttered the red-haired boy as he watched his father continue to struggle in his attempt to raise the slab of stone. Then a growl was heard grabbing the attention of the boy and he saw a Beowolf approaching them. The werewolf of darkness howled before charging forward to kill its prey. "Father, it's coming!"

The man ignored him as he continued to struggle and try to lift the piece of rubble. When the Beowolf came within striking distance of the father, it suddenly was sent flying to the side by a kick. The father and son looked to see their savior and it was a man in an odd set of crimson and black armor. The armor was a red and silver chest plate, armored silver greaves, and silver gauntlets with red gloves. The helmet of the armor looked a bit peculiar with a red metal horn attached to the mask plate. He turned towards the two before walking forward and take a position next to the father. The armored man craned his head to the father who understood what he planned to do.

"On the count of three, all right?" asked the father. The armored man nodded before placing his hands in some spaces to lift the slab of stone. "One… Two…THREE!" announced the father as he lifted the piece of heavy rubble with the mysterious man. "Okay, Rowan. Crawl out of there!"

The boy complied and crawled out from under the rubble until his feet were cleared of under the stone's position. The father and the mysterious warrior dropped the piece of stone, and the father embraced his son in relief that he was safe. The armored man knelt down as he pulled off what appeared to be a metal red beetle off of his belt before it sprouted wings and flew off. The armor disintegrated to reveal the man's true form. He had crimson red hair, a few scars on his face and arms, and wore a black scarf with a white shirt and a pair of cargo pants. What was surprising was that the man was glowing. He smiled peacefully and took off a silver belt that was wrapped around his waist.

"Here, take this and never let go of it." The man stated as he presented the belt to the boy. He turned his head to the father with a smile. "Take care of your son, sir. And teach him everything you know."

"Huh? Why?"

"...Because he is chosen to fight the hidden conflicts of the future. A destiny that is his and of many others." The glow on the man was slowly becoming brighter and he looked at his hand slowly be consumed by the glow. "My time is almost up, so I leave one last message. Beware of the woman with burning amber eyes, and an organization known as ZECT."

"Wha-What do you mean?" asked the father. Then the mysterious redheaded man silently smiled as he glowed brighter before the light consumed his entire being and he disappeared. "WAIT!" The father reached out to the vanishing man before he vanished. Then the he lifted his son up and carried him out of danger. "A woman with burning amber eyes and ZECT…"

(Next Level – Ohmi Tomoe)

(Instrumental)

Several insect wings formed over the screen before being shot in sync with the beat of the music. Then a set of silver armor was shown at different angles from the legs to the gauntlets.

With a quick slash, the wings are shattered apart and shows a young teen with red hair wearing a high collared shirt with metal plates and he wields a medium sized ax-gun hybrid.

Several insectoid monsters are then slammed into a wall at an incredible speed with a red horned armored warrior skidding to a stop. This armor was slimmer compared to the savior's armor but still just about the same set. The warrior jumps out of the screen before riding his personal motorcycle which is painted red and black while passing a girl with a red hood as a trail of rose petals flew out of her cape.

The title card (RWBY Gaiden: The Duty of Saviors) appears for a moment before disintegrating into the wind.

/Himi Ga Negua Koto Nara/ – /If you wish for it,/

The armored motorcyclist drives into a parking lot that also appears to be a helipad.

/Subete Ga Genjitsu Ni Naru Darou/ – /then all of it will probably come true…/

Then he is replaced by the redhead young man, a young teen girl with short platinum white hair wearing a yellow traffic vest, a young man with purple-highlighted hair wearing a black leather jacket, and a girl with navy blue hair wearing a white tank top with a spade. They walk in different directions without looking at each other. Then the redhead's face is seen close up revealing he has a determined look.

/Erabanishi Mono Naraba/ – /as long as you are the chosen one./

Then the girl with platinum white hair is shown with an emotionless look as she walks forward. Next the male with the leather jacket gave a stoic look as he walked forward with his eyes up. Finally, the girl with blue hair walked with a carefree tone with her arms behind her head. Then a scene showing a meteor crashing into a part of a city that is known as Mountain Glen.

/Bousou Wo Hajimeteru/ – /Things are starting to go out of control,/

A scene shifts in to show several more insectoid beings with a couple of mechanical robots that had screens of people's faces in front of where their heads are. Then the scene shifts to show several people with the same face walking about their normal lives.

/Sekai Wo Moto Ni Modosu Ni Wa Mahou/ – /But to return the world to normal…/

Then a motorcyclist appears riding on the same motorcycle as the red motif warrior. Suddenly, the motorcycle stops midway and the same redhead walks forward toward the camera. As he walked, a trail of after images forms with each step he takes. In the background, the motorcyclist is moving backwards as if he is rewinding in time.

/Jikan Ga Nai/ – /There's no time!/

Then a silver sports car is seen driven through the streets with the same motorcyclist following it. The motorcyclist drives in front of the car as they continue to travel before being followed by two more motorcyclists who rode a dark-blue and black travel motorcycle and the other rode a silver and blue dirt bike.

/Moving Fast Kokoro No Tokei Hashirase/ – /Moving fast, make the clock of the heart speed up!/

The white-haired girl is seen again waking up laying on a medical bed with several machines attached to her body with some of her limbs replaced with machinery. Noticeably, there is a drawing of a fairy next to her right mechanical hand. The scene changes to the male with purple-tinted hair was jumping from tree to tree wielding a pair of drumsticks with large spherical heads. Next the blue-haired girl is standing in front of a burning building with a devastated look. Finally, the redhead is facing the armored warrior in bulkier armor, and then he takes a step forward with the warrior mirroring his action. The two pass each without colliding and now are back to back.

/Ashita No Sono Saki E/ – /Go Past Tomorrow!/

The screen shows the front of the redhead teen and the back of the armored warrior. The warrior is witnessing a young boy take a large step. Then the scene shifts to the front of the warrior and the back of the redhead with the teen seeing only a crater surrounded by abandoned buildings. The redhead as a young boy leans forward and reaches out while a female hand is seen reaching out to him. Then scene shifts to the young boy kneeling forward and grabbing the same silver belt the savior gave him. Then the scene shifts back to the two hands managing to grasp each other. Suddenly a view of a lever is pulled on a device attached to a person's waist. Next, a view of a right hand pushing a lever on a brace attached to a left wrist. Then an odd looking tuning fork is shown being tapped on a left wrist to create soundwaves and placed over a forehead. Finally, a scene of a right hand pulling a lever to turn open a spade symbol on a buckle.

/Himi No Tonari Tatakau Tabi/ – /Every time I am next to you,/

Armor parts suddenly launch off the person and then the camera shows the warrior in a slimmer form.

/Umarekawaru/ – /I am reborn!/

Then the horn of the helmet slowly attaches itself to the mask.

/Me Ni Mieru Speed Koeteku Motion/ – /The motion is faster than the speed of the eyes!/

Then a feminine soldier in silver armor with a tire attached to her fires an odd looking gun that sets off a chain reaction of explosions around the armored warrior. The red warrior did not appear affected by the explosions and ran forward with the explosions at a still form.

/Itai Jibun Igai Dare No Tsuyosa Shinjirareru/ – /Whose strength beyond my own can I trust?/

The white-haired girl gave a pained expression as she looked at her mechanical hand. Then male with purple-tinted hair landed with a heavy thud in exhaustion. Finally, the blue haired girl cries as she falls to her knees.

/Housoku No Vision Minogasu-na/ – /Don't miss the light speed vision/

Time suddenly slows down again as the red armored warrior punches and kicks down several insectoid beings along with the silver armored soldier who is cutting down several mechanical robots with a sword that had a steering wheel. During the slow motion, they are protecting several soldiers in white and black armors. Then the red armored warrior along with the silver armored soldier stand side-by-side. Standing behind to them, two more warriors in cobalt and purple armors stand still as the camera close ups on the masks of the red warrior and silver soldier.

/Tsuite-koreru Nara/ – /…if you can't keep up!/

The screen is enclosed by several insect wings as the song ends.

Authors's Note: This is just a prototype trailer of my second story, but don't expect more since I'll be more focused on the Symphogear story until I finished the first season. I need some form of idea of when this story takes place. It could take place before the incidents of the first episode or it could take place after and during the initiation or even Vytal tournament. And if any of you got a question of the opening's characters just PM me, but I will gladly announce that Kamen Rider Drive Riders will make an appearance except with different characters that replace the users. The reason for this is that I felt it would be an interesting challenge to see Kabuto fight Drive in a high speed battle. I mean, the closest canon high speed battle shown is between Mach and Faiz Axel form. I will gladly accept any help with making this story. Just PM me if you want to help provide some ideas on my story.
