Sorry it took such a long time to update this, college can be killer. So just to be clear I do not own Kamen Rider or RWBY. Beta-read by LordHellPheonix

Chapter 4 – Three and a Half Riders

Jaune's POV

I don't know why I'm bothering with this, I really don't. All I know is Torchwick wants to talk with me for some reason and refused to speak with anyone else. So, I found myself dragged to his cell aboard Ironwood's ship, a waste of my time. I'm half convinced this is some test of patience and control, to see what happens when I'm standing only a few feet away from the guy that started it all. I'll admit it's challenging to not rip his throat out.

"So, they finally let us meet face-to-face." For a guy in a cell Torchwick is looking rather well though, it's odd seeing him without his hat though.

"I'm honestly surprised you're alive considering a Schnee works for Ironwood." Torchwick nods but that grin stays on his face the whole time.

"I'm too valuable to risk, not that the bitch hasn't tried to off me."

"I'm not exactly your biggest fan either, what do you want Torchwick?" My hand twitches, I so want to go for my Driver.

"See kid, I'm in this thing to survive. I don't care about anyone but myself and one other person. Now before this I was completely ready to let my boss's plan go through but a month before I was captured she started having me move some weird stuff around. A week after that I saw some of what that stuff could do, the things it could turn people into. I saw what one of those belts you wear could turn one of those animals into. It only made me more confident I chose the right side until one went wild and killed five others before we could put him down. Whatever these nuts are messing with I want no part of it."

"Fascinating, and you wanted to talk to me of all people why?"

"Guards talk, I know you have the same equipment they have. I tell you where to look, you see about getting me better accommodations." I snag Torchwick by the neck and pull him up against the bars of his cell.

"Better idea, tell me where this stuff is and I won't splatter your blood all across the floor." Torchwick looks me in the eye and grins.

"Kid I got your weapon from your locker, it was sent to me. Put the clues together and what do you get?" I glare at him with the desire to kill him growing ever stronger. I stuff it deep down and try to ignore how easy it would be. It would be in cold-blood, I don't want to cross that line.

"You have an inside man."

"I don't know. My boss was the one that set everything in motion, I don't know who did it." I don't think he's lying, Torchwick knows it will only end badly for him.

"Where do I need to go to find this 'weird stuff' your boss had you move?"

Time Skip

Well if this pans out Torchwick gets his deal. Odd coins and alphabetized flash-drives, both sound familiar but I can't place them. I park my Beobike and look at the address Torchwick gave me. This warehouse is the place. I walk up to the door and type the password into the security system, a click signals the door is unlocked and I walk inside. I look around and see nothing but some broken crates, a table, and a few folding chairs. Looks like it all got moved. Huh? What do we have here? I pick up a flash-drive wedged under one of the chairs. Definitely an odd one, it's bright red with a bone pattern circling it along with a big, white M printed smack dab in the middle. This really seems familiar.

With nothing else around me I start walking around to see if I can find anything. I spend the next half-hour or so wandering around with nothing to show for it. Great, this was a waste of my day.

"Now what do we have here." I turn around and find someone else has walked in here. I can't see anything thanks to that fedora of his though. "One of Foundation X's goons checking for anything they missed. I'll be taking that Gaia Memory now." The man looks up revealing brown eyes looking at me with a cold rage.

"I don't know who this Foundation X is or what a Gaia Memory is but clearly you do. Mind telling me what you know?" I lean to side to dodge the kick sent my way. "I'll take that as a no." Another kick is sent my way which I block with my arm. I shove forward and go for a punch of my own while my opponent is off balance but he manages to use the momentum to his advantage slides by my punch. I feel his hand grab the back of my coat and a knee meets my gut multiple times before I get thrown into the wall. My vison goes back to normal in time to see a leg coming my way. I catch it and send the guy spinning in the air, my fist soon finds its way into his gut, sending him flying into a crate which breaks on impact.

"Oh Phillip, I could use some help here." I look around but see no-one else around. "What do you mean you can't!? Fine, I'll take care of this guy myself." Okay, he is really freaking me out here. The guy reaches pulls out a red and silver Driver and slaps it around his waist.

"Wait are you a Kamen Rider?!"

"Having second thoughts, are you?" I open my mouth to reply only to stop when what I can only describe as mummies start shuffling in, alongside them are several men in suits with odd mask that have a similar bone pattern to the Gaia Memory I found.

"Tch, grunts of all things."

"What are these guys?!" I ready myself to grab my Driver

"Yummies and Masquerade Dopants. Grunts made from Cell Medals and Masquerade Memories respectively. Seeing as you aren't siding with them I suppose you were telling the truth about not working for Foundation X." Medals, those are what OOO used if I remember correctly.

"You're from the original Rider World, aren't you?" The man looks at me in surprise.

"You're rather well-informed. Shotaro Hidari, at your service. Just stay back while I deal with these guys." Shotaro pulls out a Gaia Memory and presses down on it.

"Joker!" Shotaro slides the Memory into the slot on his driver and black lines crawl up his face. "Henshin." He brings his right hand in front of his chest in a fist while his left pushes the slot outward. Fragments of black converge on him and soon a black suit with purple highlights appears on him. Red glowing eyes survey the scene, a silver W rest above said eyes. "Kamen Rider Joker." The creatures rush to meet him in battle and forget about me. Big mistake.

"First Shocker and now this Foundation X, what makes Remnant so attractive to you guys." I put on the Grimm Driver and put in the Beowolf orb. "Henshin!" My armor appears around me and I rush forward to join Joker in battle

"Beowolf Helm! Wolf Left the Back, Claws Ready to Attack!" I bring out my gauntlets and leap over Joker to cut into some Yummies, medals flow from their wounds before they explode.

"You're the new Rider Tsukasa mentioned." Joker sends a Dopant flying with a kick before flinging a Yummy into a group of them.

"Kamen Rider Kiba, on your right." Bones definitely break with the following punch. I slash through a few more Yummies and snap a Dopant's neck before throwing the body into another. The two of us continue to eliminate these creatures before ending up back to back with a group in front of each of us. Joker bumps his elbow against me

"Let's finish this up." I push on the horn three times while Joker slides his Memory into a slot on his belt.

"Beowolf Massacre!" Energy gathers around my claws and I send several energy slashes at a cluster of Yummies causing Medals to rain down around us.

"Joker Maximum Drive!" Black fire gathers around Joker's fist and with a cry he slams it into a Dopant which slams into a few others and explodes, taking them all out.

"Hunt's Over." Our Rider forms disappear and the two of us face each other once more. I hold my hand out to Shotaro.

"Let's try this again. Jaune Arc, otherwise known as Kamen Rider Kiba." Shotaro takes my hand and shakes it. "How did you find out about this place anyway? I only just found out about it from Torchwick. Heck, you're from a completely different world." Shotaro looks proud of himself and straightens his tie.

"I'm a P.I. whose number one target is Foundation X. I got some notes from a member that wanted out, he was found torn to pieces in a lake a day later. After a nice long search they led me here, would you mind destroying that Memory real quick." I pull the Memory out of my pocket and crush it in my hand. "Thanks, now what are we going to do." I pull out my scroll and call Ruby.

"Hey Jaune."

"Hello Ruby, is Yang around?" Blonde hair fills the screen.

"What's up vomit boy." I resist shouting out at that. I hate that nickname with all my soul. I glare at Shotaro who's smirking at me.

"You mentioned knowing an information broker once, I need his address."

"Something good happening." I really don't like that smile on her face.

"Nope, just more crap I have to deal with." Yang's smile just grows at that.

"Alright I'll send you the address." The call ends and my screen goes black. I look back at Shotaro when a message comes through with the address.

"You got a ride?" Shotaro holds up some keys and starts walking to the door. I follow him and find a half-black and half-green bike parked next to my Beobike. Shotaro plucks a helmet off the seat and smirks at me.

"This is the HardBoilder, lead the way newbie." I nod and slip on my own helmet before hopping on the Beobike.

"Let see if you can keep up." I pull out and my scroll and look at the address one more time before pulling out, Shotaro follows behind me. I'm surprised we don't draw more attention than we do, I can see a few people stop and stare but not as many as you would think. After a couple of hours we pull up next to a club.

"This is the place Yang told me about, apparently this guy knows everything on the streets. If someone's doing something he'll know about it." Shotaro looks up and down at the place.

"Not a bad place, so how we going to play this?"

"We could go good rider, bad rider." Shotaro looks at me and opens his mouth only to close it when a guy comes flying out the doors. He lands on the ground and bounces a few times before stopping right at our feet. Shotaro and I share a look before running inside, slapping our drivers on while running. We run through the doors only to find Yang sending two girls flying while the rest of her team looks on from the sidelines. I jump and catch the girl dressed in red while Shotaro manages to snag the one dressed in white.

"Oh hey there Jaune, I think that Junior will be willing to talk with you now." I notice a big man holding his arm. I set the girl I'm holding down and then notice one of the men on the ground.

"Matt!" The guy looks up at me and smiles before wincing while holding his ribs.

"Long time Jaune, heard you got out." I help Matt up and then look at team RWBY.

"What are you four doing here?"

"We wanted to help. There's no need to do this alone."

"I'm not alone, I got Shotaro." I look behind me and see Shotaro helping more of Yang's victims up.

"And why is he better than us?!" I stare at all four of the girls, I get they want to help but this is dangerous. The grunts and maybe a few low-ranking threats I could definitely see them taking but they don't have Rider armor/wear protecting them. A blow that would kill an aura user can be an annoyance to me at times.

"He is an experienced Kamen Rider who knows all about our prey. Speaking of which, Junior was it, you hear anything about a group called Foundation X or anyone moving around weird coins or flash drives?" Junior looks up at me and stands up. Now he looks down at me from about a head of height on me.

"Tch, I guess I owe you for stopping the crazy broad..." Yang moves to attack but a glyph appears under her to slow her down, a ribbon wraps around her midsection and pulls back on her, and Ruby is pushing back on her shoulders. "…on top of helping Matt out. I haven't heard anything about something like that but I'll let you know if I do."

"You don't know anything huh?!" I look back and see Shotaro holding one man's arm behind his back with his sleeve torn off revealing some weird tattoo. "This is a Living Connector, one way to use a Gaia Memory." I press down on the horn and the Never-bow settles into hand pointed straight at Junior's head.

"Know nothing huh." My finger is on the trigger when the guy in Shotaro's grip breaks free and starts laughing.

"HAHAHA! That moron wouldn't know anything. Shocker and the Foundation are the way of the future and this moron is too stuck in the past. We haven't expanded our operation in years, we could have doubled the size of our organization while Torchwick has been distracted but this fool wouldn't make any moves no matter what I said. Well no more!" The man pulls out a Gaia Memory. "With this I have the power to rule this city." I shoot at him but he dodges and sticks the Memory on his tattoo.

"Bird." Where there was once a man now stands some green bird creature. A skeleton is perched on its extended head, ribs stick out of its chest while wings extend from his shoulders. Its right arm sports a wicked set of claws while the left is now a curved blade. A beak now sits where a mouth would be. All in all it's an unholy terror.

"SCHAAAAA!" That simple screech sends everyone but me, Shotaro, Junior, those two girls from earlier, and RWBY flying back. A green fire ball comes flying my way but Junior pulls me out of the way. I pull the lever and start running towards the newly made Bird Dopant.

"Henshin!"

"Nevermore Helm! Eye in the Sky, Get Ready to Die!" I shove my weapon into the Dopant's chest and fire. Shotaro is already moving, leaping into the air while slipping his Memory into the driver around his waist.

"Henshin!"

"Joker!"

The blast shoves the creature back into a kick from Joker. This is followed up by a serious of rapid punches to the joints. Once Joker shoves the Dopant away from him I move in and slash with the protrusion on my left arm before I switch my bow into sword-form and flip it into a reverse grip to block a swing from the Dopant's blade-arm only to end up taking a swipe from the claw, due to the weaker armor of the Nevermore helm I can feel my skin underneath the suit bruise but nothing serious. The protrusions on my boots grow out and I slam my foot into my opponent's ribs and two break off before dissolving into nothing. Joker takes the opening I gave him to deliver a dropkick which drives the Dopant into its knees.

"Nevermore Chomping!" I bring out my wings and jump on the Dopant, the boot protrusions growing out into talons and sinking into the Dopant's back.

"Let's take this outside." I fly out the doors dragging the Dopant with me and once outside take to the sky. Once we're high above the city I let the Dopant go and its own wings extend and it turns to face me only to find part of its beak cut off by my sword followed by several more cuts to its chest.

"SKAAHHH!" Primal instinct seems to have taken the creature over. Its body is shaking and it turns around and starts flying away. A targeting system pops up in my sight, a reticle locking onto the fleeing target. I hold up the Never-bow after switching its form and press on the horn three times.

"Nevermore Massacre!" I press the trigger and multiple miniature Nevermores made of energy are sent flying towards the doomed creature. The Dopant dodges the first round but they swing around and slam into its face, sending it flying back into the rest of the shots. I fly towards the explosion that follows and catch the man that comes falling out of the smoke cloud. With that done I descend to the ground and let him go once I'm a few feet off the ground. He lets out a groan on impact showing he's still alive.

"Hunt's Over." I grab him by the collar and slam the man against a wall. He's covered in scratches and his clothes are torn up but it doesn't look life threatening. I press the Never-bow against his arm and shake him once.

"You get one chance to tell me where Foundation X is, don't answer or lie to me and I'm putting holes in your arms and legs."

"Warehouse 88C in the industrial district, Junior owns it but never uses it so it was the perfe… GAHHH!" I back up and watch as the man clutches his head in pain. His eyes bulge and blood pours from his ears and nose. He collapses to the ground but I catch him before he hits the pavement only for the man's flesh to dissolve into dust. In a couple of seconds, I'm left holding only the clothes he was wearing. I pull out my scroll and call Ruby.

"Ruby, is Shotaro there?"

"Yeah, here he is."

"What's up rookie?" I grit my teeth at the nickname but can't deny its accuracy.

"I got the guy back to human form but the moment he said something he just dissolved. I got a location. Warehouse 88C in the industrial district, meet me there."

"Alright, my team will be meeting us there." I nod and hang up before I pull out the Beo-bike orb and put it into my Driver.

"Beo-bike." A swirling cloud of darkness appears next to me and the Beo-bike rolls out of it. I still haven't figured how that works but it's quite handy. I slip on my helmet and start the Rider-machine up. Revving up I pull out and head towards the industrial district. I weave in and out of traffic as I push the bike to higher speeds, I manage to make it there in ten minutes. When I get there, I park outside the entrance to the cluster of warehouses that 88C is located. I wait for Shotaro and this team of his to show up. I look up at the sound of an engine and see Shotaro pull in with Blake and Weiss on the back of his bike while Yang and Ruby park next to him on Yang's bike.

"What are they doing here!?"

"I needed to know how to get here."

"You could have asked for directions, not bring them into a life or death battle."

"Hey! May I remind you that we are Huntresses-in-Training. We fight Grimm for a living, I think we can handle anything these guys throw at us." I look at Shotaro and make a gesture at him.

"You want to tell them exactly what kind of threats are the norm for us."

"City destruction is pretty normal, world ending also isn't uncommon. I know another newbie named Gaim had to stop my world form being consumed by this interdimensional forest. Then there was the time that the 29 surviving main riders had to work together in order to stop the world from turning inside-out which would bring the dead back to life and kill the living. And don't even get me started on getting dragged to another world by magic rings to stop all the monsters we had ever killed from pouring out into the world again."

"Decade mentioned those last too extensively in the notes he left me, didn't that big collaboration start off as Heisei fighting Showa riders." 29 main riders? I could have sworn it was 30?

"Yeah, Rider Civil War is not something I'm keen to repeat."

"So now you see why I'm not keen on you all following me into this shitstorm."

"SWEAR!"

"I could say a lot worse Ruby." I look at the girls and see that they still have determination on their faces. Blake takes a step forward.

"I've already been told that I don't need to bear my burdens alone, you shouldn't have too either."

"You really are a dolt if you think we're just leaving you."

"Come on Vomit-boy, we can handle anything these chumps throw at us."

"Right, Team RWBY is ready for action." I chuckle at this, looks like they're not going anywhere. I really should have known better.

"Fine, you all clearly aren't leaving but the moment we say run you do so." I don't get a reply as another engine reaches our ears and we turn to see who it is. A man in a red jacket with a black, flame-patterned shirt along with red leather pants rolls up with another guy dressed in a jail-striped shirt and jeans with him. Shotaro walks to them and gestures to them.

"This is Phillip and Ryu. The rest of the Riders of Futo."

"Hello."

"Nice to meet you." All of us Remnant born return their greetings while Ryu looks the entrance up and down.

"So, this is where they're hiding. What's with the kids?"

"Apparently these kids are powerful warriors while the guy that looks like you is a Rider."

"I don't see a resemblance." I agree with Ryu, we look nothing alike

"It's the eyes. They look just like yours did when revenge was what you lived for, his eyes are even worse if anything." I don't honestly know what to say to that. "Any way let's get things started, Phillip."

"Right." The two stand back to back and when Shotaro slaps on a Driver with two ports another appears around Phillip's waist. Ryu slaps on a Driver that looks like a handle bar and I follow up with the Grim Driver and the King Taijitu orb. All four of us shout out at once.

"HENSHIN!"

"Cyclone! Joker! CycloneJoker!" Phillip collapses to the ground as Shotaro is surrounded by armor, the left half looks like Kamen Rider Joker but the right half is now green with some gold parts. A scarf trails from his right shoulder in a cape like manner. "Kamen Rider Double." Double's eyes flash when he speaks and while it sounds like Shotaro is speaking Phillip's voice seems to echo everything he says.

"Accel!" Several silver metal pistons appear in the air and start glowing red as a revving noise fills the air. "Accel!" Red and silver armor with a machine based look covers Ryu, black hand bars stick out on his shoulders and he has wheels on the outside of his legs. A large blade appears next to him once the transformation is finished. "Kamen Rider Accel!"

"King Taijitu Helm! Two in One! Now You're Done!" My armor forms around me and I preform a Biting to bring out my staff. "So then, let's find Foundation X." Laying Phillip's body next to the bikes we all head start searching for 88C. It honestly doesn't turn out to be as hard as we thought it would be, it's the only warehouse drawing power in the area.

"This is definitely the place. Is everyone ready?" It's really creepy hearing Phillip's voice come out of Double when I know it's Shotaro's body. Everyone says they're ready and then Accel cuts the door down to reveal an empty room. Double looks around and spits out his words with frustration

"Damn it, they already moved on."

"That we did." Everyone looks around and I notice some speakers have been set up. "That pathetic cockroach was a loose end, the moment we heard the Two-in-One Rider was in this world we immediately started tying up those ends. Shocker is a valued customer and it wouldn't do to upset them. Now then why don't you come out Mr. Bronzewing." If my helmet didn't prevent it my jaw would hit the ground when Dove Bronzewing walks into the warehouse. Team RWBY is as shocked as I am. Yang is the first to snap out of it.

"Dove, what the hell are you doing?!"

"Shut it bitch. I'm sick of people walking all over me. Constantly having to keep my head low and be someone else's lackey. With these guys backing me up I'm going to become the top dog around here. If a rich bitch had to get hurt, or die as the goal was, and a weakling take the fall for an initiation so be it." Double strokes his chin and tilts his head at Dove.

"Why them though? What made the two of them special?"

"Nothing, Foundation X and Shocker just wanted chaos to hide their movements and the media and police love rich-people problems. Throw in an unrequited crush being the reason for the attack and you have everyone distracted for new people to move in."

Five figures drop to the ground, a woman with a body that's constantly shooting out fire, a metal behemoth, a blue figure with a gun for an arm, a weird yellow thing with two tentacles for arms, and a white Rider with a driver similar to Double's.

"How…?" The voice on the speakers answers Accel's question as the doors close and more lights turn on.

"We were the ones that made them, did you honestly think we wouldn't have samples of them to build better versions. Mr. Bronzewing, kill them all." Dove pulls out a Gaia Memory and presses it behind his ear.

"Violence!" Another behemoth, this one made of flesh, joins the field, sporting a wrecking ball for a hand unlike the first one that has a staff. The muscle of its right leg is completely exposed.

"Alright those are Dopants based off our Memories: Heat, Metal, Trigger, and Luna. The white one with them is a knock-off of Kamen Rider Eternal. This is where all the non-Riders take a step back."

"Hey we can help!" I get in front of Ruby and don't take my eyes off the enemy.

"Just listen to him Ruby!" I rush the Trigger dopant and Dove, Double goes for Eternal and Heat, and Accel takes Luna and Metal. I smack Trigger's gun upwards and bend around Dove's wrecking ball before smacking him upside the head. I hear a click and see Trigger aiming at me only for Ruby to slam both her feet into him sending him flying back.

"Ruby!" I put my staff between me and that wreaking ball and get shoved back. I stop skidding next to Ruby as she fires at Trigger who's shooting her bullets before they can hit him. I can see Weiss supporting Double by placing ice between him and Heat when she shoot at him while Yang and Blake are fighting alongside Accel.

"I'm not leaving you to fight alone." I slap Dove's next strike to the side and grab the Beowolf orb from my belt and switch out. I need speed more right not.

"Wolf Left The Pack, Claws Out Ready to Attack!" I perform a Biting and start running around Dove clawing at his legs, judging by the grunts I'm dealing some damage. I can hear Double's driver calling out new combinations as he switches his own form but I don't focus on it too much.

"Beowolf Chomping!" With that done I rush Dove and drive a fist right into his neck. While he gasps for air I rush over and help Ruby out. She's done a good job with Trigger by getting in close but Crescent Rose can't seem to deal enough damage to put him down. Ruby moves to bring Crescent Rose down on Trigger's head and I see it happen before I can reach them. Trigger's barrel presses right against Ruby's stomach and fires, sending Ruby flying back.

"RUBY!"

I can't tell who shouted first, my voice blends in with the rest of Ruby's team. I manage to catch her and the force throws me back. I hit the ground and skid on my back into the wall. I'm sure the others would come over and help but they are clearly being held up by their own opponents. "Ruby! Speak to me!" Ruby looks up at me, with a pained expression.

"I'm fine." I look at her arm cradling her ribs and see some pushing against the skin, her clothes torn from the bullet, her aura just kept a hole from being torn through her but it couldn't stop the force from braking some ribs. Anger floods through me, anger at myself, at Dove, at Foundation X, at this entire situation. I set Ruby to my side and grab the Deathstalker orb while deactivating my transformation. Ruby needs medical attention so the sooner we end this the better. If anything goes wrong Double and Accel should be able to stop me. I slip the Deathstalker orb into my Driver and pull the handle.

"HENSHIN!"

Ryu's POV

CLANG!

My blade clashes against Metal's staff. Foundation X, you disgust me even more now. They may have been villains when we met them but to disgrace their memory with these shoddy fakes. A step back dodges one of Luna's whip arms and I leave a gash on it for his efforts.

"Now, let's shake it off. HAA!" I slice at Metal who blocks, Luna tackles me and pushes me back while he wraps me up. I start revving up and increase my armors temperature

"AGGGGH!" Luna lets go with a screech and I notice a shadow and turn to see Metal bringing his staff down at my head. A blade swings past us followed by a gunshot and a ribbon wraps around his hands. The ribbon must be strong too hold him back.

"YAHHHH!" The blond girl, Yang, smashes a fist into Metal and a shotgun blast goes off. Metal goes flying back as the ribbon unwraps from around him and the black-haired girl, Blake, comes running up, shooting at Luna.

"Didn't we tell you four to stay back." A big grin is sent my way. It's a grin filled with overconfidence and reckless abandon.

"You said to, we decided against it." Kami, is this what I have to look forward to when Haruna gets to be that age. The two do prove to be good back up against the Dopants, Blake is capable of matching Luna in long range combat while Yang only seems to grow stronger with each blow she takes. I move between the dopants helping whichever one seems to need help. A gunshot goes off and I look to see the girl in red, Ruby, flying in the air with a hole in her clothes.

"RUBY!" all of this world's natives cry out, the Black and Blond duo try to get to her but Metal and Luna get in their way. Kiba catches her and skids into the wall where she tries to reassure him. My mind flashes back to Haruko and my parents. I pull out the Trial memory and slam it in right as the new kid deactivates his transformation and pulls out another of his orbs only this one has sickly green lines running around it. I now see what Shotaro was talking about. Pure rage and bloodlust fills his eyes while a literal dark aura surrounds him.

"HENSHIN!"

Shotaro's POV

Foundation X made a blunder with this one. This fake Eternal and Heat aren't that much trouble, Eternal isn't even able to shut down our Memories. No, annoying is the word to describe these two. This Eternal might be weaker but his knife-work is still good and those flames keep getting in our way. I punch Eternal away and see flames come at me only for a wall of ice to sprout up between me and the fire. A flash of white follows and Eternal is parrying a rapier away.

"You kids just don't listen do you?" Weiss, I'm pretty sure that's her name. "It is Shotaro." Weiss backs up and sends several icicles flying at Eternal only for Heat to melt them.

"I've stood on the sidelines enough in my life. Never again." I like her, seeing as how all of them have jumped in Kiba has a good support system if he'll accept it. Time for a switch.

"Keep making those walls for me, it's time for a western style shootout."

"LUNA! TRIGGER! LUNATRIGGER!" I grab the Trigger Magnum from my hip and fire. I hit Heat and Eternal runs forward only for a symbol to appear under his feet and stop him. Heat sends fireballs at Weiss forcing her to dodge and the symbol disappears but I manage to shoot him before he can counterattack. Weiss puts up more walls surrounding Heat and I get into a fist fight with Eternal. I take a kick to the gut right as a bullet shot rings out.

"RUBY!" I look to see Kiba catching the girl in red who has a hole in her clothes. Trigger's barrel smoking, the four girls try to run to her but the Dopants get in their way. I put the Trigger Magnum between me and Eternal's knife, the deadlock keeping me from running over there myself, when a chill goes up my spine.

"Shotaro…"

"I feel it, Phillip." Kiba stands back up and deactivates his transformation, a dark aura begins to surround him while his eyes burn with more rage than I ever saw in Ryu. That orb is different from the others, the light is green rather than red.

"HENSHIN!" Black smoke surrounds him and green energy sparks around it. When it clears his new form is revealed.

"Deathstalker Helm! Crawling From Below, Poison Ready To Go!" This form is heavily armored on his chest, arms, and legs but his joints still have full movement range. The chest plate is designed so four protrusions that look like insect legs are wrapping around it. Small green crystals stick out of the arm and leg guards but they don't seem functional. The helmet now looks like a scorpion is wrapping it's claws around him while a piece of armor in front of his mouth keeps the claws from fulling touching. The red that once decorated his body is the same sickly green as his orb. Kiba looks towards the sky and lets a scream out as the green energy crackles across his body.

"AGGGGH!" Faster than I thought would be possible the kid is in front of Trigger and grabbing his gun-arm. With a shout Kiba plants his foot on Trigger's chest and pulls. A sickening noise of metal tearing fills the air as Trigger's arm is ripped off. "AGHHRRR!" Kiba has everyone's attention as he starts to whack Trigger with his arm, eventually caving in his skull. Just like last time he dissolves into sludge

"Shotaro, I do not think Kiba is in control anymore."

"Really? You think so!?" The rest of the Dopants and Eternal rush who they clearly perceive as the biggest threat while the girls rush over to their leader. I move in front of them just in case the fight moves over here. The idiot that became the new Violence Dopant is the first to reach him but Kiba catches the Violence Ball and squeezes.

"AAAAHHH!" Violence cries out as the Ball shatters and a fist is embedded in his gut, he falls on his back clutching the stump where the Violence Ball once was. Dark mist swirls along Kiba's arm and a shield that looks like a scorpion's face forms. Green patterns are spread out upon it and a tube with a spike one end rests upon it, it looks like a stinger. Kiba kicks off the ground with a yell and drives his shield into Metal. A hissing sound fills the air and then the spike is coming out of Metal's back and he dissolves into sludge. Kiba lets out another screech as that energy appears once more, this form is like our FangJoker form, his body can't handle it. Accel runs by me in his Trial form and grabs Kiba from behind.

"Hey, calm down. You're going to hurt yourself doing this!"

"AGGGHH!" another screech, this one not even remotely human, escapes Kiba's throat as he grabs Accel with his shield free arm and tosses him across the room. Luna's arms the wrap around Kiba, pinning his shield to his side while his other arm is free, and lift him in the air. Heat then hits him in the head with a fireball, it only seems to piss him off.

"Shotaro, I know how Kiba has gotten that powerful. He's not in control anymore and as such he isn't regulating the power from the Orb."

"So, he'll just fall asleep once this is done?"

"No, more than likely he'll die. We need to stop this." Another cry draws out attention as Kiba's free arm pulses with black light and a large claw made of bone covers it. It traps Luna's arms and clamps shut cutting them off. Luna stumbles back as Kiba lands on the ground, his bonds dissolving around him. Heat attacks from behind with a drop kick only for a large tail to sprout from Kiba's tailbone and pierce her stomach, the tail lashes out and sends her decomposing body flying away. Eternal attacks with a Maximum Drive next, flipping through the air to land an axe kick and following it up with an upwards slash from his knife, both attacks cloaked in blue flames. Kiba skids back across the floor but stabs his tail in the ground to slow himself to a stop. His body then shakes violently for a few seconds as more of that green energy sparks around him

"Phillip!"

"On it." The Xtreme Memory comes flying in and latches on to our driver. I feel Phillip's presence become more pronounced as his body and soul are fused with mine. At the same time Kiba drives his shield into the ground and the spike punches into the earth. Green Crystals sprout up around Eternal and pin him there. Kiba screeches once more and makes to attack but we're already between him and his prey.

"Newbie, you need to stop this before you kill yourself."

"Yes, your uncontrolled usage of that Orb will be the death of you soon if you don't stop."

"AAAAAH!" Well that didn't work. Kiba immediately lashes out at us but the Prism Bicker stops his own shield while we're able to stop his claw with our hand.

"Sorry Kid, looks like we'll have to knock some sense into you." We shove him back and then cut into him with our sword. This time the damage is clearly visible and the shield bash to the face doesn't help matters. Eternal breaks free from the crystals and moves to attack but Accel is finally back up and intervenes in his Booster form. Kiba keeps slashing at us with his claw or trying to spear us with his tail but we can easily dodge or block. As the fight drags on more and more energy races across Kiba, we need to end this quickly. We start pulling out the correct Memories.

"Cyclone! Maximum Drive!"

"Heat! Maximum Drive!"

"Luna! Maximum Drive!"

"Joker! Maximum Drive!"

"Cyclone! Heat! Luna! Joker! Maximum Drive!"

"Prism Break!" Our sword flashes in a rainbow of light as we deliver two slashes in the shape of an X and then drive our shield into Kiba's chest blasting him back with a blast of energy. Black mist pours off Kiba as his shield, claw, and tail disappear. Chunks of his armor are missing but he's still standing.

"Eternal! Maximum Drive!" Kiba is moving before we can react and is in front of the girls right as Eternal launches a blue fireball at them, Accel ends the fake Eternal seconds after he launches his attack. The fireball slams into him Kiba and explodes. When the fire is gone Jaune is back, completely unarmored. His clothes are smoking and singed but that's only a secondary concern to his eyes. His sclera have gone pitch black while green "veins" surround his eyes. He looks at me for a moment and starts swaying as he opens his mouth.

"Hey, Double. Make sure Ruby and the others are okay for me." As soon as he's done talking he collapses backwards to the ground, Yang catching him before he hits the floor. We're already getting to their side, separating on the way. Phillip checks his pulse while Accel cuts a path open for us.

"I have a pulse, it's a steady one." I let out a sigh of relief and put a hand on my hat.

"Geez newbie, you're more of a hassle then Gentaro." A green light draws my attention and I look to see that Orb glowing. I move to pull it out, I saw enough to know the basics of how Jaune's driver works, only for the entire thing to be locked down. When I start tugging the kid starts shaking violently.

"Jaune!" Yang keeps the kid from hurting himself and I stop messing with the driver after seeing if it will come off his waist, it won't. This is not good.

Next Time on Kamen Rider Kiba

"What if he doesn't wake up?"

"Perhaps we should consider confiscating the Driver."

"Ilia, snap out of it!"

Chapter 5 – Tame the Beast

Alright so this was originally going to be two chapters but I decided to put them together to make up for the long wait. Secondly, I need ideas for Kiba's pre-battle and pre-finisher catchphrase. I haven't been able to come up with anything that sounds right. Hope you all enjoyed this one.
