AN: Alright guys, I've promised to do a Blade preview but unfortunately that's not going to happen because…let's just say that I found a new candidate that threw its hat into the ring. So, I'm going to offer you guys the next best thing…Faiz! Now, ShowTime!

Disclaimer: I do not RWBY or Kamen Rider Faiz.

Chapter 1: The Red Swordsman

Humanity has been at war with the creatures of GRIMM as long time itself. Humanity, out of desperation, forged their only weapon to combat these creatures; Dust. With its power, Humanity not only pushed the creatures back but flourished into civilization. Rapidly modernizing in vehicles, technology, weapons, defense, and much more. Little did Humanity know…GRIMM was not the only thing that Humanity has to face but something far worse.

This is where our story begins.

(10 years ago)

A little boy was running through a burning laboratory which was slowly collapsing. He had messy brown hair, blue eyes, and light skin. He also appeared to be seven years old.

"Mom! Where are you!?" He called.

"Makoto, I'm over here!" A voice said. Makoto went to that voice. He sees his mother but her legs were buried by rubble. Next to her was a tiny metal brief case with the logo of the company she worked for, Smart Brain.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm here." Makoto said as he tried to get the rubble of her.

"Makoto…" She started before getting the briefcase and passing it to him. "Here." Makoto took it and looked at it before directing his attention towards her.

"Mom!"

"In that case is something really important. With your gifts, you can do something really important with it."

"Important?" Makoto soon saw more rubble fall. "Mom!"

"Now…go!" His mother said while pushing him away from her.

"I'll entrust your fate…to Faiz." Before rubble collapsed on her completely. Makoto had a shocked looked on her face before crying.

"Mom…" He started.

"MOM!" Makoto roared out before transforming into a wolfish figure. He grabbed the case before looking at where his mother was one last time before leaving.

(Present)

An alarm clock went off and a lazy hand turned it off. The young man got up, revealing to be the 17 year old Makoto. He yawned and looked out the window. It was another beautiful day in Vale. He breathed it in before looking back at his stuff.

On his cabinet was the same briefcase his mother entrusted to him seven years ago. He looked at it before transforming his hand into a gray wolfish claw.

"I won't fail you, Mom." Makoto said before turning his arm back to normal. He soon did his usual morning routine before getting changed. He wore a black leather coat with red highlights and a hood, a black shirt, pants, and boots. He grabbed his case before moving out.

He soon got on his motorcycle and moved out. He was learning to be a Huntsman but couldn't really go to Signal. Ever since his mom's death, Smart Brain has been looking for him and the case so going to Signal might attract attention.

He stopped in the middle of the forest and got off his bike. He sat on a tree stump until…

"You're here early." A gruff voice said. Makoto looked at see a man in his middle ages who was wearing modern armor.

"No, you're just late, Hal." Makoto said. Hal was a family friend of Makoto's and a huntsman. He became his legal guardian and trainer after his mom died.

"Sorry, about that. I still don't get why you won't just attend Signal."

"Hal, you know that-."

"Smart Brain wouldn't look for you there. It's fortified and there are students just like you."

"Not exactly…" Makoto said while staring at his arm. He soon looked back at Hal and got up. "So anyways, I'm ready for our final lesson!" Makoto said.

"Ok, get your swords." Hal said and Makoto nodded. Makoto went for his motorcycle and grabbed one of the handlebars and withdrew it as a sword. It was red and almost lightsaber like. It was called the Faiz Edge.

Makoto twirled it around and got into a combat stance. Hal got his greatsword out before charging.

(Later)

Makoto was driving back to the city and was thinking about what Hal said to him.

"Makoto, I taught you everything I know but…there's still a lot. You should head to beacon now since you're old enough."

"I don't know…" Hal placed his hand on Makoto's shoulder.

"Trust me, you're a lot safer there than in the city."

'Maybe I should go to Beacon but…' Makoto thought. He soon stopped at a Dust shop. He wanted to modify his Faiz Edge to be a little bit more powerful when he's not using…it.

He parked his bike, sheathed his sword on his back, before going inside. He pulled up his hood and started looking around. He saw a newspaper before skimming it.

It was nothing new. Just some attacks made by Roman Torchwick and attacks made by the White Fang. Makoto was just reading it as some goons tried to hold up the store.

"Huh?"

Makoto looked behind to see a guard pointing a gun at him.

"Hand over everything you have! Now!" He demanded. Makoto sees that he and his men look just like Torchwick's goons from the paper.

Makoto just stared at him before giving him a powerful kick. The man was sent to the cashier. The leader signaled another goon to get him.

"Freeze!"

Makoto grabbed his neck and threw him out the window. Everyone looked at him, surprised. Makoto cracked his knuckles.

"Okay, so who's first?"

"Get him!" The leader ordered. Everyone charged and Makoto brought out his sword. He dodged one goon's attack before hitting him in the stomach with the hilt of his sword. He blocked another before slashing him across the chest, luckily it only wounded him.

Another man tried firing his gun making Makoto run out of the store while deflecting the shots with his sword. As he was deflecting the shots he notices the leader getting away. Makoto growled and charged at the shooter before giving him a sidekick to the face.

Makoto sheathed his sword and looked in the direction the leader went before getting on his bike and following. He drove where the man was before tackling him. The leader pushed him off.

"Damn it!" The leader muttered before mutating into a gray humanoid sting fish like creature. He summoned a staff before charging. Makoto blocked it with his sword.

"You're an Orphnoch!?"

"So you know of us, human. Let's see if you can join our fold." The Sting Fish Orphnoch said before kicking him away. Makoto flew back to his bike. Makoto looked at the case before opening it.

Inside were metal pieces, a manual, and a flip phone with some type of symbol on it. He soon formed a belt from the pieces, with something that looked like a camera and flashlight on the sides, and placed it on his waist but held the phone in his hand.

"Hmmm?" The Orphnoch started.

Makoto impaled his sword to the ground before pressing 5-5-5 on the phone then Enter.

"STANDING BY!"

A voice from the phone said before the phone made a beating noise. Makoto raised the arm carrying the phone.

"Henshin!"

He soon placed the phone into the slot next to the buckle and pushed it into the buckle itself.

"COMPLETE!"

Red neon lines surrounded his body until they engulfed him in a huge light and when they faded there was an armored figure in Makoto's place. He had a black bodysuit that had red lines painted on it, had silver metal chest armor and armored shoulder pads. His head was covered by a black helmet that had a pair of large glowing yellow eyes and short antennae. This was Kamen Rider Faiz.

Faiz flicked his right arm before grabbing his sword and charged. When he slashed the Sting Fish Orphnoch, it felt more pain then when it was just Makoto wielding it. The Orphnoch then fought back and Faiz was blocking every hit it offered.

Faiz soon kicked the Orphnoch away before getting his phone out and pressing 1-0-3 before transforming his phone into a gun.

"SINGLE MODE!"

As the Sting Fish Orphnoch charged Faiz fired his gun before dodging another hit from the staff. Faiz then kicked him from behind and fired the rest of his shots.

He then typed 2-7-9 then Enter.

"CHARGE!"

He placed the phone back in his belt before charging. Faiz dodged the staff before slashing the Orphnoch across the chest. The Orphnoch rolled on the floor.

"Strange, that you would be trying to steal Dust especially since you're working for Roman Torchwick; a human."

"It was just a means for an end. As if I would work for some mere human!" The Sting Fish Orphnoch yelled before charging again. Faiz blocked it with his sword before kicking him.

The Sting Fish Orphnoch looked at him before attempting to get away.

"As if." Faiz said as he got out his phone and typed 5-8-2-6 then Enter.

"BATTLE MODE!"

Faiz's bike soon transformed into a robot. Auto Vajin looked at where the Orphnoch was trying leave and got there before he did. The Auto Vajin then fired its Buster Wheel handgun. The Orphnoch flew back while Faiz walked to the robot. He pressed the button on the robot's chest.

"VEHICLE MODE!"

Auto Vajin soon transformed back into its bike form and Faiz walked to the wounded Orphnoch.

"Let's finish this." Faiz said as he impaled his sword to the ground. He grabbed what appears to be a flashlight and placed it on his anklet before putting the Mission Memory in.

"READY!"

He soon opened his phone from the belt and pressed Enter.

"EXCEED CHARGE!"

Energy transferred from his belt and into the Faiz Pointer. He jumped into the air with a sidekick position. When he did a laser fired from the Faiz Pointer and it aimed for the Orphnoch. The laser stopped and expanded to a huge energy cone. The tip was pointed at the Orphnoch's causing him to be paralyzed.

Faiz dove into the cone, turning into energy, and the drill struck the Orphnoch's chest. It tore right through him as Faiz reappeared behind the Orphnoch. A red glowing Phi symbol appeared on the Orphnoch for a few seconds before disappearing. The Orphnoch then burst into blue flames, exploded, and crumbled into dust.

Faiz got his phone out and pressed End Call. Then his neon lines glowed brightly and when it faded Makoto took his place. He looked around.

"No witnesses. Good." Makoto said but when he turned around he sees a man with messy gray hair, glasses, and a dark green suit.

"Good afternoon, young man." He greeted calmly. Makoto sweatdropped.

"Uhhh…hi."

"That was quite impressive for a young man like you."

"Thanks, Professor Ozpin." Makoto heard his name on the news a couple of times regarding Beacon Academy.

Ozpin motion him to follow and Makoto nodded before disassembling his belt and putting it back into the case. He sheathed his sword before following.

On the roof was a hood man in black coat. He saw everything and got on his phone.

"Kiba, it's Leo." Leo started.

"What did you find?"

"Faiz. This is his world."

"I see."

"I'll contact Dark Decade and try to make some allies here."

"What about me?"

"You just get ready for school tomorrow." Leo said. Ever since he and Kiba were revived by Dark Decade, they were sent here under the assumption that this was Faiz's world. When they heard about Beacon, they thought that Faiz might be there and Kiba enrolled as a new student. Dark Decade even altered his age a little to fit the role.

Leo, on the other hand, was trying to find allies in this world. He was also in the midst of making a deal with Roman Torchwick. Leo just let out a chuckle before leaving through a Gray Mirror.

(At the park)

Makoto and Ozpin were sitting at a bench with no one nearby.

"So you know my name but I have yet to learn yours." Ozpin started.

"Makoto…Inui."

"A pleasure to meet you, Makoto Inui."

"Likewise." Makoto nervously said.

"So tell me, where did you learn to fight like that?"

"I've been trained by a Hunter." Ozpin was slightly surprised.

"You didn't go to Signal?"

"No sir, I was worried about a certain someone trying to find me."

"Would it have to do with that armor I saw?" Makoto nodded. "What is it called?"

"Kamen Rider Faiz."

"That's…an unusual name."

"It was the designation on the armor. I use this to summon the armor." Makoto said, showing the case. "It's called the Faiz Gear."

"I see, what about the monster?"

"They're called Orphnochs. They claim to be the next stage of evolution."

"They were once human?"

"And Faunus, as well."

"And how did you get mixed up in all this?" Ozpin asked.

"That's a…long story and I prefer not to speak about it."

"Very well, also I happened to notice the Smart Brain logo on the case."

"You know Smart Brain?"

"In a way, they're one of the top competing corporations."

"They specialize in technology, more specifically weaponry." Makoto explained.

"And, that armor…you didn't get that out of fair play did you?"

"All you have to know is that this belt must not fall into the wrong hands. It's one of the reasons why I avoided Signal."

"I see."

"So, why do you fight against these…Orphnochs?"

"I made a promise." Makoto said in a sad tone.

"A promise? I see, I won't pry." Ozpin said. "But, it's not safe to be living alone like this either."

"What would you suggest?"

"Would you like to be a Hunter?"

"Huh!?" Makoto let out.

"Would you like to be a Hunter, Makoto Inui?" Makoto thought about it. This was the headmaster of Beacon Academy, he couldn't exactly say no and besides he was actually thinking about what Hal said to him. Maybe it was time to move on and he could keep the Gear safer there.

"Ozpin, you got yourself a Hunter." Makoto answered. Ozpin smiled.

"Good, I'll make the necessary preparations just arrive at the dry dock by tomorrow 7:30 a.m."

"Yes sir!" Makoto said. Ozpin soon left and Makoto sighed on the bench.

"Hal is gonna love this." Makoto muttered.

(At a warehouse)

Roman was smoking a cigarette and Leo was approaching him, with a Smart Brain case in hand. Roman looked at Leo.

"You promised me adequate workers and instead all I got was this!" Roman said looking at the footage of Faiz destroying the Sting Fish Orphnoch.

"Calm down, Roman. It's just one loss." Leo defended himself.

"Who is that anyways?" Roman wondered.

"Someone that me and a few other 'friends' of mine are looking for." Leo explained.

"Will he be trouble?"

"You let me take care of this." Leo stated.

"I don't really trust you but Smart Brain provides good equipment, you get me that and I'll provide you a cut from the Dust supply. 70-30." Roman offered.

"60-40."

"Fine, but this equipment better be worth it."

"It will, just don't expect me to get you out of every pickle." Leo stated before he left. Roman didn't fully trust Leo so he has to take some precautions. He looked at the footage before getting an idea.

(At a bar)

"Hahaha! You finally got accepted into Beacon!" Hal said.

"It wasn't intentional." Makoto pointed out.

"But still, though, great job! I'm sure your mother is proud of you!" Hal said as he drank his mug.

"Thanks." Makoto said.

"So, you feel like celebrating? I'll buy." Makoto chuckled.

"Thanks but I'd rather get in without the headache. I'll see you later."

"Ok, see yah, Makoto." Hal said as Makoto left the bar. He was walking to his bike but on his way he bumped into a girl. Makoto got a good look on her.

She was wearing a black and red dress with matching stockings and boots. She also wore a red cloak but she had her hood on so Makoto couldn't really see her face. She also had a belt with a grey rose pin and a cartridge.

"Sorry about that." Makoto apologized.

"Don't worry about it." The girl waved off before walking away. Makoto soon got on his bike and drove back to his apartment. Makoto soon spent most of the time packing up but kept the Gear case close with him.

Makoto got ready for tomorrow and got on his bed. He looked at his arm before it transformed again into a gray wolfish claw. Makoto looked at it and sighed.

"Well so much for being homeschooled. I just hope that no one notices." Makoto thought before turning his arm back. He grabbed the case and opened it before looking at the parts.

"Still can't believe I made it to Beacon. I just hope I can keep the Gear safe." Makoto said before closing the case and getting some shut eye.

(The next day)

Makoto was on the airship with several other people who were planning on attending Beacon. He kept the Gear case with him just in case but he did cover the logo so no one can get any funny business.

Makoto was looking around the ship and decided to start socializing. He didn't really have many friends other than Hal so if he's going to school he might as well start doing so.

He spotted a young man with a black robe but the hood was on. He was also wielding some sort of high tech sword and a small case. Makoto walked and stood beside him.

"Hey, you nervous?" Makoto asked. The hooded person looked at him.

"A little but this is kind of exciting though, isn't it?" He replied.

"Yeah, we're being trained to fight monsters. I'm Makoto Inui." Makoto introduced. The hooded man took off his hood revealing a young man around his age with brown hair and eyes.

"Yuji Kiba but everyone calls me Kiba."

"Nice to meet you, Kiba." Makoto examined him a little bit. "You don't look like you're from around here." Makoto observed.

"I just moved to Vale just a few months ago. I was a transfer student before being moved to Signal. What about you? I haven't seen you in Signal."

"Well, I was…homeschooled." Makoto said. Not a full lie but not the full truth.

"I see." Kiba said. Just then a hologram of blonde lady appeared. She had green eyes, glasses, and looked old enough to be one of the teachers.

"Hello, and welcome to Beacon!" The hologram greeted.

"Who's that?" Makoto asked Kiba.

"My name is Glynda Goodwitch."

"Oh."

"You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." The hologram said before disappearing.

Everyone started admiring the view. Makoto and Kiba got a good look as well.

"Wow..." Makoto said.

"Indeed." Kiba said, agreeing with Makoto. They soon see a blonde guy who looked like he was about to puke.

"Looks like not everybody enjoys the view." Kiba stated.

"Yeah." Makoto stated before looking at Kiba. "I'm going to check out the rest of the ship. It was great meeting you, Kiba."

"Same here, I hope we have the same classes." Kiba said. When Makoto left, Kiba had a serious face on and stared at Makoto's case. Despite the logo being covered, Kiba recognized that case anywhere.

'So this is this world's Faiz.' Kiba thought. He soon looked at his case. He tore off the tape on it, revealing the Smart Brain logo. 'It appears that he is also this world's Inui. I have to wait for the right time to take him down but not like this.' Kiba thought.

Ever since he and Leo arrived here, he noticed that humans are remarkably stronger here. Their skills and weapons could destroy Orphnochs without the Rider Gear. The only difference is that it would take a while.

He also thought of the other things he learned. When it comes to the Faunus, he didn't really have anything against them but he didn't like how they were being discriminated. His phone then rang and Kiba answered t.

"Leo?"

"Hey."

"Leo, I made contact with Faiz, Makoto Inui."

"Inui? I see, anyways, I'm trying to get a hold of the Smart Brain of this world." Kiba looked around and sees no one paying attention to him.

"You sure that's a good idea? We have the… belts but they haven't even created theirs yet. I doubt they would trust us."

"Relax, I didn't contact them yet. And the gear I supplied to Roman only came from Dark Decade."

"And the Orphnochs?"

"This world has a few Orphnochs and if this Smart Brain is anything like ours then that shouldn't be a problem."

"Good, but don't contact Smart Brain yet. Get some more info on them before we can work."

"Yes, Mom." Leo said in a sarcastic voice. "Just keep an eye on Inui"

"I know. Bye." Kiba said as he turned off the phone. He soon looked back at the window. He was in no rush so he just enjoyed the view.

(At the Smart Brain)

"Sir, we have a lead on the Gear." A secretary said. The CEO looked surprised.

"What do you have?" The secretary got on her Scroll and pulled up a video. It was of Faiz fighting the Sting Fish Orphnoch. "When was this handed to us?"

"Just recently by an anonymous caller."

"Do you know the location?"

"Vale." The CEO seemed to think for a little bit.

"Have Iron, Steel, and Collar team search the city but discreetly. And…send Cole there as well, he'll want to deal with this personally."

"Yes, sir." The secretary left the office. The CEO sat down. After ten years, he can finally finish the Rider Project. He was so close until he was betrayed.

The CEO smiled at Faiz's performance against the Sting Fish Orphnoch.

"Inui…you clever bitch."

AN: There's my Faiz. Next one will be longer, I promise. Also, Makoto will be in a separate team from RWBY but his team and RWBY will meet multiple times. And I have decided who's going to be in that team. Another note, Makoto will only use the Faiz Gear if there's an Orphnoch or if he's really desperate. I don't want him to rely on the belt too much. The same thing applies to Kiba and the rest of the Faiz Riders.

Also, I haven't really decided on pairings yet so let me here your suggestions and I MIGHT put a poll up. Anyways, just review and comment on the story. Send any questions through the private messages. Don't forget to look at my other stories.

Okay, I'm done, goodnight.
