Hello Fanfiction readers! Ashbel Longhart here to finally bring you the story that should have been done long ago. Inspired by many other works, I bring you readers: RWBY watches Kamen Rider. I mean, seriously people, why wasn't this done sooner? We have RWBY watching Death Battle and RvB, some many people reading Naruto Fanfictions, reacting to other animes, hell there's even a Kamen Rider watches Death Battle, but no one's ever thought of watching Kamen Rider? I call bullshit! So, since no one else is doing it, I shall be the first to start! But first, cue disclaimer!

(Disclaimer: I do not own Kamen Rider or RWBY. They both belong to their respective owners. All I own is this story and nothing more. Please enjoy.)

Okay, so the votes are in and a lot of people voted for our fruit-themed samurai warrior, Kamen Rider Gaim, or as he's in his show, Armored Rider Gaim. A plus note is that he's also my favorite Kamen Rider too so this should work out well.

Strap in boys and girls for team RWBY is about to enter the stage of Gaim. Let's do this! Soiya!

Episode 1: Transform! The Orange From the Sky!?

(RWBY Dorm Room)

It was a beautiful day at Beacon. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and the famous Team RWBY…was bored.

"Soooooooooooo~! Boooooooooooooored!" Ruby groaned as she lay on her bed, completely bored. Her sister, Yang, was brushing her hair, Blake was reading a book as always, and her partner, Weiss, was busy changing the Dust in her weapon, but this was all an act. Yang had been brushing her hair for hours now; Blake had read the same book three times already, and Weiss was just taking out and putting Dust back in her weapon.

It was Friday today and classes had just finished hours ago. They had finished training for the tournament for today and right now, the entire Team had nothing to do which was rare since the team always had something to do.

Just then, the sound of something hitting the door got the entire team's attention and they all went to check what struck the door. They opened and saw a brown package down on the floor. A rather big at that.

"A package?" Weiss said. "I thought the mailmen only deliver packages on Sunday?"

Ruby picked up the package and went back into the room where she laid it down on the desk.

"Should we open it?" Ruby asked in concern, but couldn't help be curious.

"I don't know." Blake said with concern. "It could be a trap."

"I agree with Blake here." Weiss said. "We don't even know where this package even came from."

"Well, we won't know unless we open it." Yang said.

The team all thought in their heads that it was a bad idea to open the mysterious package, but their boredom got the best of them and they all thought at the same time.

'Screw it.'

As an act of caution, they all stepped back as Ruby got her Crescent Rose and unfolded it into scythe mode. She reached out and sliced off the tape, making the covers open up a bit. When nothing happened, they slowly walked up to the box and opened it to see tons of DVD cases and a single envelope. Ruby placed her weapon down and grabbed the envelope, unfolding it to reveal a note.

"To anybody who finds this package and is reading my envelope, I don't have much time to explain. Whoever finds this package contains all the shows I've recorded and edited. I'll get straight to the point and say that that world I live in, Earth, is perishing due to the one thing I've feared the most: Nuclear War. I had hoped this day would never come, but I guess god either really doesn't exist, or he can't save us from 'The End.' I don't have much time. In this package is a television series so great that I wish for it to live on forever. If you don't believe me and think that this is some kind of stupid prank, I don't blame you, but there's only one thing I ask of you. Please take care of these. That's all I ask of you. Signed, a dying man that will soon meet his end."

By the time Ruby finished reading the note, the entire team was silent. Ruby looked like she was about to cry, Weiss had a look of disbelief with Blake and Yang had similar expressions and who could blame them? An entire world filled with millions of lives, gone because of the thing that has been absent in their world for a long time. Never in their lives were they happy for their time of peace on Remnant than they were now.

They all took a moment to calm themselves before they did the only thing they could do. Honor the poor soul by watching the show he/she took the time to record before their final moments.

"Well, to honor and respect the person who gave their dying breath to send these, we should at least watch them." Ruby said and the other three nodded in agreement.

"Wait, there's more." Yang said as she pointed back at the note.

"P.S: The show is in a different language, but there are subtitles. Just thought I let you know beforehand."

"Well, that's good to know." Ruby said before she grabbed the top disk. The casing was black and written on the case in black marker read the words: Kamen Rider Gaim-Disk 1. "Kamen Rider?"

"I guess that's what the shows called." Blake said.

Before they could do anything, they all decided to take a shower before watching the show. After about a few hours, the four were in their pajamas and were now prepared to watch the mysterious show that was sent from another world.

"Well, let's do this.' Ruby said before pressing play.

The scene starts out with a symbol the girls have never seen before along with writing, Kanji, they've never seen before.

"Uh, what does that say?" Ruby asked.

"How should we know?" Weiss said.

Narrator: Pluck the fruit of heaven.

"Well, there's your answer." Yang said. "And man did that voice sound so manly."

"This language sounds interesting." Blake said before they all continued to watch.

The scene changes to show off greenery and some strange looking plants. Not only that, but vines producing more strange fruit grew as in the distance was a tree-like tower.

Suddenly, the sound of a horse caught their attention and then, they saw…him.

The man was covered in a dark blue body suit which had quilted leather. On his arms and legs were golden bracers and leg covering which added extra protection. On his side was a black sword with a gold line on the blade with a trigger under the sword guard and the cross like guard looked like it actually doubled as a gun. Around his waist was some kind of belt buckle. On the left side was a sword-shaped lever and on the right was an image indicator. In the center was what looked to be a lock depicting an orange slice as the lower part depicted a sword that looked like an orange slice? The man also wore a blue helmet with a sword-like decoration on his forehead along with a silver mouth guard. On the back of the helmet, studded steel decorated it as it looked like orange slices as well as the visor. The armor was also another eye catching thing as it looked like it could be folded up into something. This is Gaim.

All four girls started in awe at this person. But no one were more in awe than Ruby Rose who had entered chibi mode.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmysh! Helookssocool! Thatarmorlooksamazing!"

"Alright, calm down sis." With one yank, Yang pulled Ruby out of chibi mode and back to normal.

"He looks like a samurai." Blake said.

"A samurai?" Ruby and Yang asked.

Surprisingly and unsurprisingly, Weiss explained. "Samurai's are Hunters of old back in the east. They were the ones who brought over weapons like bows and arrows, katanas, and other weapons some Huntsmen use. There aren't a lot of samurais left if I remember correctly."

Ruby and Yang nodded in understanding before they went back to the show.

Suddenly, the imaged zoomed out to show that behind Gaim was an army of strange, bug-like creatures. Most were on the ground while others flew in the air.

"What the heck are those!?" Weiss asked, creeped out by how many creatures there were how they looked like bugs.

"I don't know, but that's one heck of an army." Yang said.

Narrator: That the world be dyed in your image. Is that the glory you seek? Is that burden one you can bear?

More kanji appeared before the camera moved to a differed armored man.

The man too wore a body suit. The torso was covered in white, quilted leather as the rest of the suit was red with silver arm guards and leg guards. His armor also looked like it could be folded up, but it looked a lot like a banana for some reason. The helmet was red with the face part covered by stripes of white metal. He also had a set of banana-like horns as his visor was bright yellow. This is Baron. And unlike Gaim, he was riding a rose-themed motorcycle.

Baron wasn't alone as he too had his own army of those strange creatures as well as up in the air were flying suits of armor that looked strange like watermelon. And Baron wasn't the only armored man here.

Next to him a man in a brown bodysuit. He had a round chest plate as on his shoulders were what looked like parts of an acorn. His helmet was designed like Viking or European soldiers. The back had an acorn-like attachment as two eye pieces on the helmet were yellow. In his hands was a…rather underwhelming hammer. This is Gridon.

"Hm, unlike that last one, this one looks mostly like a knight." Weiss said, pointing at Baron.

"I wonder what this guy's deal with bananas is." Blake said.

"That other guy doesn't look like much." Yang said.

"Hey, you never know. He could be really strong!" Ruby said.

"All I know is that this show is making me crave for some fruits." Yang said and she wasn't the only one.

"I could go for some nice strawberries." Ruby said.

The camera then zooms out to show that both armies…were in the shapes of an orange slice and a banana. There was also a third army in the shape of a melon.

"Wait a minute, what's that third army?" Weiss asked.

"What I want to know is what's this show's deal is with fruit." Yang said.

"It could be the theme." Blake guessed.

The scene then changed to the third army which had its own set of armored men.

The first was the leader who wore a white body suit with white arm guards and leg guards with gold lining. His armored looked to be themed after melon if the shape of his army didn't give it away. Melon slices decorated the back of his white helmet was two golden horns extended up his head as the visor was a dull yellow color. In his hand was the same black sword that Gaim had. This is Zangetsu. In his army, he had more of those watermelon suits on standby.

Next to him was a man in a black bodysuit with green protective cloth over it styled like Chinese armor. His armor was purple, resting like samurai-styled armor as his helmet was green with the lenses being purple. This is Ryugen.

"That white one seems to be the leader." Blake pointed out.

"The green one reminds of Ren." Yang said.

"Yeah, he kind of does." Ruby said before she started to imagine Ren as Ryugen, but quickly got rid of the idea. Thinking it was weird.

The scene then changed to a beautiful woman laying in the greenery. She wore a white dress with a black belt around her waist. Her hair was light chestnut and when she opened her eyes, one eye was brown while the other was red.

"She's so pretty." Ruby said.

"I wonder who she is. She looks important." Weiss said.

Narrator: Know this. The lives of men are not ours to control, not even our own. We cannot defy the inexorable current of fate that carries us.

"Says you. Screw fate! We're not fate's bitches!" Yang yelled.

"Yang! Language!" Ruby scolded her sister.

Gaim turns to see the woman making her way to the battlefield. She stares at everything with a sad look before the wind suddenly picked up and blew away the flower in her hair. The second it hit the ground, everything began.

Gaim raised his sword and yelled before he and his army were off. In response, Baron and his army charged towards Gaim as Zangetsu got up from his seat and prepared for battle.

"Alright! Some action!" Yang said. But then…

Narrator: But what if fate were to call you…

That got the girls to look at one another. They all liked to think they weren't entitled to fate and could control their own lives and such…but what if fate called them? That was something to think about.

Gaim rode through the battlefield as explosion littered the area around him.

Narrator: To change the world?

Baron rode through the explosions as the melon suits fired at Gaim's army.

Narrator: To turn the course of the future?

Gaim and Baron rode towards one another, their army left behind as their entire focus was on each other.

Narrator: You cannot defy your fate. But the fate of the world is in your hands!

Gaim and Baron got closer and closer to one another and when they finally, met, their weapon shining in the sunlight…a zipper suddenly appeared and change the scene.

"What the!? A zipper?" Weiss said.

"Dammit! We were just about to get to the good part." Yang said.

"You cannot defy your fate, but the fate of the world is in your hands?" Blake muttered to herself, confused at those words.

"Girls! Look"! Ruby got everyone's attention back to the TV.

(Inster JUST LIVE MORE by Gaku Sano and Yutaka Kobayashi)

(Instrumental)

The scene suddenly starts with Gaim, Baron, Ryugen, and Zangetsu posing behind a fence which was littered with different locks.

(Got it, Move...Wow) We some greenery be cut away before in a few slashes and hits from other different types of weapons, we see the title: Kamen Rider Gaim.

(Don't Say No JUST LIVE MORE) (x2) We see the four Riders together as Gaim points his sword rally close to the camera before it changes to show Gaim standing over a reflection as under him was his human form, Kouta Kazaraba.

(Sabaibaru You got move/Survival You got move) We see Kouta again who runs up, but is blocked by a fence.

(Gendai wa sanagara sengoku/When life's in a warring state) Kouta screams out to someone which that someone being himself. The other Kouta was holing a Lockseed in his hand. He glances back at the Kouta behind the fence who soon for some reason disintegrates into dust as the other Kouta walks away.

(Dare ga kachinukeru/Who's got the strength to win) We then see Kaito with his crew dancing.

(Kagi wa hirake rarete shimatta/Now that all the locks are open?) The scene changes to Kouta and Kaito as under their reflection was Gaim and Baron who charged at one another who were about to clash weapons when at the last second, they were replaced by Kouta and Kaito.

(Don't Say No JUST LIVE MORE) We see the Budou Lockseed which Micchy soon picks. He then looks up and sees his brother, Takatora.

(Doko ni aru…/Where will you find...) Micchy runs up to him, but a fence suddenly appeared and stop him. His reflection, Ryugen, is stopped when Zangetsu points his sword at him.

(Do tsukau…/And how will you use...) We see the other Riders again in one room before we see Gaim riding on a horse.

(Kindan no kajitsu?/The forbidden fruit?) In quick sessions, Kouta and the others 'slice' their Lockseed in front of the camera.

(`Ima' to iu kaze wa nani o tsutaeru tame/The wind of the moment has its own message to share) We see Gaim draw out his blades before he slices a Byakko Inves before the scene changes to show Kouta dancing with Mai and the others.

(Omae no moto ni fuku tsuyoku tsuyoku Blowin' up/It's blowin' up stronger and stronger till it reaches you) The scene once again changes to show Kouta meeting up with Mai as their reflection was Kaito meeting with the mysterious woman. Another scene changes to show Gaim and Baron taking on a ton of wooden dummes, showing off their moves.

(Ashita ga yume ga mada mienakute mo/Your dreams and future may seem so far away...) We see a fence get blasted away by Rygen, wielding Budou Arm's personal weapon, the Budou Ryuhou, before he runs forward. We then see Kouta and the others dancing again before they suddenly vanish and are replaced with the mysterious girl who points forward.

(Soko genkai seiippai ikite iru to ierunara/When you've got all you can out of life, that's when you can stop) We see the Orange Arms followed by him slashing the screen before we see the Banana Arms followed by Kaito dancing with two of his men.

(Utsumuku na yo/But don't let life get you down) [kao agero/Keep your head held high] We then see Baron slashing at Inves at the Helheim Forest.

(doko madede mo/Wherever you may go) [Mageru koto naku/Never compromise yourself] We then see the Budou Arms, the Melon Arms, and the Pine Arms too.

(Shinjita michi o yuke JUST LIVE MORE!/Follow the path you believe in, and JUST LIVE MORE!) In the Helheim Forest, the four Riders draw their weapons before the scene changes to Kouta screaming as greenery grows around the fence.

(Don't Say No JUST LIVE MORE) We see Gaim once again riding a horse before the song finally ends.

The girls were speechless once the opening themed had finished. They blinked and stared dumbly at the TV before Ruby broke the silence.

"That…was…awesome!" Ruby cheered. "That song made feel so motivated!"

"I have to agree, I feel the same." Weiss admitted.

"It mentioned something about the forbidden fruit," Blake pointed out.

"Maybe that's why every guy we saw wore fruits." Yang said.

The scene changed changes to a shopping mall as a happy music played. The scene then changed to a crying child along with a man.

Man: I see. So you lost your mommy, huh?

"Who's talking?" Yang asked.

Man: Well, life sucks sometimes and you wanna cry. But you can't let it beat you. You gotta take it on like a game. If you cry, that's it. You lose. You win by finding a way out without crying. No matter what it is, everyone has the strength to put up a fight.

"Well, that's certainly one way to cheer up a child." Weiss said.

"It's kind of inspirational." Ruby said.

As the man was talking to the child, the camera slowly turned around the two until showed the man's face.

"Hey! It's that man from the opening!" Ruby pointed out.

Man: So, what's the first thing you're gonna do?

Child: Fine my mommy…

Man: Right!

The man smiles as writing depicting his name showed up on the screen which read: Kouta Kazaraba.

"So his name is Kouta, interesting name." Blake said.

"He seems like nice person." Ruby commented.

The two then started to walk around, shouting out for the kids parent while also drawing attention.

Kouta: Mom!

Child: Mommy!

Kouta: Mom, you're son's lost!

The two continue to shout out for the mother until we see a woman running up to them.

Child's Mother: Keichi!

The two see them and the child runs up to the mother.

Mother: Thank goodness!

"Good for him." Yang said before going into deep thought. 'Now if only I can find my mother.'

"Yang, is something wrong?" Ruby asked.

"Huh? Uh, it's nothing." Yang quickly said.

Kouta: You see that? You totally won!

Keichi: Thanks, mister!

Kouta: No problem.

Kouta then runs off to a scooter, showing that he was in the midst of delivering something.

"He was delivering something, yet he took the time to help the child. How selfless." Blake said as Koita gained a few respect points from her.

Mother: Um…Sorry, were you delivering something?

Kouta: Yeah, but it's fine. The curry's still nice and warm.

Kouta then gets on and drives away before the scene changed to show the vast city as appearing were more words that said: The Planned Municipality of Zawame City.

Man's Voice: Hello~! Zawame City~!

The girls jumped a bit at the unexpected DJ voice as different music started playing.

The scene then changed to show the layout of the city as well as the tree tower from the beginning.

"That's the tower from before!" Ruby pointed out.

"Yggdrasill?" Weiss read off one of the signs. "As in the tree of life?"

"Well, it definitely looks the part." Blake said.

The scene then changes to the man who was speaking as the words, "Beat Riders Hot Line' was displayed in front of him.

Sagara: It's DJ Sagara coming to you live!

"Beat Riders Hot Line." Yang read off. "Wonder what that means."

"I think we're about to find out." Weiss said.

The scene changes to a stage with people gathered around to watch a small group dance. The words, 'Team Gaim' were displayed as the grouped danced to the music.

"Hey, it's those guys from the opening!" Ruby pointed out.

"Are you gonna point out every character that appeared in the opening?" Weiss asked.

"Maybe~!" Ruby said.

The scene shows the group dancing as the people cheered. The group was smiling, enjoying themselves and having fun before we go back to Sagara.

Sagara: This one goes out to all the Beat Riders out there cuttin' up the concrete! It's blue skies and sunshine again over Yggdrasill Tower! Here we go!

As Sagara was talking, scenes show people doing stuff like checking the internet and buying stuff as the Yggdrasill company symbol was seen often.

"This Yggdrasill must be a company of some sorts." Weiss said.

"Leave it to the heiress to notice something like that." Yang said.

"And what's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing~!"

"This company must have a lot of influence over the city." Blake said. "Just look at how much stuff is being supported by them."

"They're even on garbage bags." Ruby pointed out. How much influence did this company have if their symbol were on garbage bags!?

Sagara: Time to get your feet on the fiery beats bumping through Zawame City!

The scene changes back to Team Gaim still dancing and the crowd was loving them, cheering and waving things around.

"I guess we finally know what a Beat Rider is." Yang said.

"Yep." Ruby said as they all said it in their minds.

'Dancers.'

Team Gaim continued to dance until someone stopped the music. Everyone was confused at what happened until it showed who had stopped the music.

"Wow, rude much?" Yang said.

"And I was enjoying the music." Ruby said until she realized something. "Hey! He was in the opening too!"

The team resisted the urge to facepalm.

One of the girls, the one that was on in the opening, saw the guy and did not look happy as her name, Mai Takatsukasa, was then displayed

"So her name's Mai." Yang said.

"This world has some weird last names." Ruby said as she read the last name of Mai.

"It's not like we're one to talk." Blake said as some people in Remnant, even professional Huntsmen, have some weird last names.

Mai: Hey! What's your problem!?

Another name was then displayed over the boy who was also in the opening. His name was Mitsuzane Kureshima.

Mitsuzane: Not those Baron creeps again!

"Excuse me, did he just say Baron?" Weiss said. "Well, that's one heck of a name."

"What does it mean?" Ruby asked.

"It means 'Lord' in Britain." Weiss said. "Which means whoever this guy is, he's from a team called Team Baron aka Team Lord."

"Well, that is one heck of a name." Yang said.

"In that case, what does Gaim mean?" Ruby asked.

"I…don't know." Weiss admitted.

Yang gasped. "The Ice Queen doesn't know something!? Hell must be freezing over."

"Oh you shut up!"

Baron Member: Sorry, but Baron's taking this stage.

The crowd was not happy about this as more Baron members appeared as well as their team name and symbol.

"Well, for a group of dancers, they sure are well dressed." Weiss commented.

"Must come from the name." Blake said.

Sagara: I know, I know, these streets aren't big enough for the both of you! But that's no excuse to roll around butting heads all over the place! So when you wanna know once and for all who's got the most, you settle it no doubt, no fuss with a couple of these babies! Lockseeds!

Sagara then grabbed the two Lockseeds that he had with him. One depicted an orange with the words L.S.-07 and another one with a banana with the words L.S.-08.

The girls could only blink.

"A Pair of locks? Really?" Yang said. "How is that gonna decide anything?"

"Hold on, Yang, maybe these aren't regular locks. I mean, he called them 'Lockseeds' for some reason." Ruby said and boy would she be right in a few minutes.

Barom Member #1: You wanna go?

Mai: No problem! Let's do this!

It showed that the both of them had their own Lockseeds. The Baron Member had one depicting an nut while Mai's depicted a sunflower.

"Just how many of these things are there if these two have some?" Weiss asked.

"Who knows, but they seem important if the opening told us anything." Blake said.

Mitsuzane: Mai! We should call Yuuya!

Mai: I can handle these goons myself!

"Well ain't she feisty." Yang said.

"Like you're one to talk." Blake said.

Sagara: Pop one of these locks and call an Inves to do the dirty work in style!

"Inves?" The girls all said in confusion until they saw what happened.

When both of the locks were open, a holographic field appeared as two zippers appeared and appearing from them were the creatures from before…only a lot a smaller.

"Aren't those the things from the beginning?" Yang pointed out.

"Yeah, but why are they so small?" Blake wondered.

"I'm more curious about those Lockseeds." Weiss said. Lock summoning creatures from an unknown place? Yeah, she was interested.

"That's so cool!" And of course, Ruby was getting excited. "Kick Team Baron's butt, Team Gaim!"

"Ruby, they can't hear us." Yang said.

Sagara: Keep on winning, build respect, and you'll be a real champ in no time! Okay, rock to the bat, Riders!

"This should be interesting." Blake said.

"Go Team Gaim!" Ruby cheered.

"Again, Ruby, they can't hear us." Yang said.

BATTLE START!

The Inves were off once the battle had begun. Both sides got a couple of good hits in as the crowd cheered. However, in the background, another team Baron Member stood in the way back with a slingshot. Baron Member #1 smiled and nodded.

"I've got a bad feeling about this." Ruby said.

"What was your first idea?" Weiss asked.

Baron Member #2 lined up his shot before firing. The shot flew and stuck the hand Mai was using to hold her Lockseed, causing her to drop it.

"Ah! Cheaters!" Ruby shouted.

"Are they that weak that they resort to cheating?" Yang said as her eyes flashed red for a moment of anger.

Mai: Ow! What the…

Suddenly, just as Mai's Inves was winning, it stopped and actually broke out of the arena, no longer looking holographic. This of course made people panic.

"It became real!?" Ruby said.

Baron Member #1: Hey, stupid, don't you know not to let go of your Lockseed during a match?

"Oh now you tell us?" Yang said.

"They do know that someone can get hurt like that, right?" Weiss said.

"Despicable." Blake said.

Mai glared at the Baron Member before focusing on finding her Lockseed. Not too far away, Kouta stopped and saw the panic. Meanwhile, the Lockseed was stepped on, breaking it before Mai saw it. She went to go get it, but was stopped by the Inves itself. It pounced but was suddenly rammed by none other than Kouta. Quickly, he picked up the Lockseed and opened it, causing the zipper to appear as the Inves jumped through it and disappeared.

"Yay Kouta!" Ruby cheered.

"He was quick to act once he saw trouble." Blake said. "He could have ignored it entirely, but he chose to help." Kouta just gained even more respect from her.

"Not a lot of people do that." Weiss said, admiring Kouta for helping.

Mai: Kouta!

Kouta: You okay, Mai?

"Wait, they know each other?" Yang said.

"It seems so." Weiss said.

"Does that Kouta is a Beat Rider?" Ruby said.

"I think he was a Beat Rider." Blake said. "The others were dancing while he was off delivering so maybe he used to a part of Team Gaim."

Gaim Members: Kouta!

Seeing the man, the other members smiled and ran up to him.

Kouta: You guys okay?

Gaim Member: We're fine.

Baron Member #1: You called off your Inves first. Which means we win by forfeit, do we not?

YOU WIN!

"That's not fair!" Ruby said.

"Life isn't fair." Weiss said.

Mai looked angry but did nothing. The scene changes to show Mai walking away while Kouta follows.

Kouta: Mai! Hey, you forgot your hat!

Mai: Oh, shut up! Just leave me alone!

"Hey! He saved you! Show some respect!" Yang said.

"She's probably still mad about what happened." Weiss said. "I know I would be."

"So true." Blake said.

Mai: You're the one who called Beat Riders dumb kiddy stuff. So go back to being all responsible and adult-like. Just don't bother us again!

"So I was right, he was a Beat Rider." Blake said.

"He must have left for a reason if what Mai said was anything to go by." Weiss said.

After saying her say, Mai walks away, but does't go far when Team Gaim's Leader, Yuuya Sumi appears.

Yuuya: Mai! Are you okay?

"So he's Team Gaim's leader." Yang said. "He looks like a nice guy."

Mai: I'm sorry, Yuuya…You got me this Lockseed and I screwed it up…And now Baron's stole our stage…

"It's not your fault, it was that cheater!" Ruby said.

"Ruby, for the last time, they can't hear us." Yang said.

Yuuya: How many times do I have to tell you to wait for me if anything goes down?

Mai: I can't call you for everything, Yuuya! You've got things to do…

Yuuya: Come on…

Mai: I'm really sorry!

And with that, Mai run's off. Yuuya watches her go before turning to Kouta.

Yuuya: Hey there. Been a while. You saved her back there, didn't you, Kouta?

The scene suddenly changes to people looking onto the internet.

Sagara: Oh man! When the heat turned up, Team Gaim's rep just couldn't hold on! Which means they forfeit, baby! Oh! Baron's just raking in the votes here! And Gaim's loosing points like nobody's business! It's gonna be hard to pull this one back!

"Seriously, they have rankings?" Weiss said.

"Looks like Beat Riders are more popular than we thought.

The scene then changes to Baron's hang out.

Baron Memebers: Yeah! We did it! Piece of cake!

One of the members sees their leader and calls out to him.

Baron Member: Hey, Kaito! We're steamrolling these ruffians!

"Yeah, only because you cheated! Cheater!" Guess who said that.

Kaito: Is that news? The weak shall perish and the strong survive. Such are the rules of nature.

Blake glared at what Kaito said and she wasn't the only one. Blake had heard that saying so many times that it annoyed her to no end.

Baron Member: What he said! Yeah!

The scene then changes to Gaim's hang out which was a garage.

Gaim Member #1: I can't believe those Baron thugs…

Mitsuzane: If Kouta were still here…

Mai: You're still going on about him, Micchy?

"Micchy? That's a nice nickname." Yang commented.

Gaim Member #2: Well, he did just bail us out.

Gaim Member #1: Man, why did he have to go and quit the team?

"Looks like Jouta had a lot of respect from his friends back then." Yang pointed out.

"I wonder what he was like back then." Ruby thought, curious.

The scene changes again to a restaurant called Drupers. Inside, Yuuya and Jouta were watching the TV which displayed Sagara.

Sagara: Beat Riders Hotline's always looking for comments and clips from our audience! Send us anything, anytime! If you see a hot battle going on downtown, or…

Yuuya: It's a different street from when you took off.

Owner: Everyone's big into the Inves Game now.

As if proving his point, in the corner of the restaurant, a person was dealing with a Lock Dealer named Sid.

"For some reason, that guy remind me of Roman." Ruby said. Maybe it was the hat the man was wearing.

Yuuya: This city is crawling with Lock Dealers. And the team rankings might as well be a big list of who has the most Lockseeds.

Kouta: It's sad to see, really.

Owner: You think? Better to have you kids battling it out in a game than fighting for real. Nobody gets hurt that way.

"I beg a differ if what happened last time is anything to go buy." Weiss said.

Kouta: They easily could, though. I mean, what are those Inves things anyway? And who even put those Locks into circulation in the first place?

"You mean they don't know, yet they still use it?" Weiss said.

"Looks like there's more to these Lockseed than meets the eye." Blake said.

Suddenly, a commercial starts in the TV.

TV Commercial: New life for a new generation. Welcome to the planned municipality of Zawame City. The Yggdrasill Corporation's blueprint for a better life.

"Then by all means, show me these blueprints." Weiss said sarcastically.

The scene changes to show Kouta entering his apartment. With him was a woman who they guessed was either his girlfriend or sister.

Kouta's Sister: What's gotten into you? Trouble at work?

Kouta: Hey, sis…

"So it's his sister, good to know." Yang said.

Kouta: What does it mean to be an adult?

"It's one of life's greatest questions." Weiss said.

"It seems the reason why Kouta stopped being a Beat Rider is probably because of that reason." Blake said.

Kouta's Sister: It means being able to look after yourself. And you're already paying tour rent and buying your own food. You're an adult now, Kouta.

Kouta: Looking after myself is all I can do, though. My hands are full with work. I've had to drop just about everything I used to really care about to do it. How's that any different to how I was living before?

Kouta's Sister: Kouta…

Kouta: I want to transform. Into someone strong enough to do everything.

Kouta's Sister: You're not just gonna wake up one day and be a totally different, you know? Life is not that easy, kiddo! Just takes things slow and you'll be the adult you wanna be. Now get peeling.

"Wise words from such a wise sister." Weiss said.

I wonder what we'll be like when we become adults." What Ruby said got everyone to think.

"Maybe Ruby will stop being childish when she grows up." Weiss said.

"Hey!"

The scene changes to Kouta getting ready for work

Kouta: Ever since our parents died, my sis has been my guardian. But I don't want to impose on her anymore. I need to become an adult as soon as I can. But…

Throughout Kouta's monologue, it shows Kouta working two different jobs as a construction worker to a delivery body. With Mai, she and the team were practicing since that was all they could do.

"He left everything he enjoyed so he wouldn't be a burden to his sister." Weiss said.

"Life is tough for him, but he's doing the best he can." Yang said.

"Just seeing working so hard makes me feel so motivated!" Ruby said.

The scene changes back to the Drupers as we see Yuuya meeting up with Sid.

Yuuya: You wanted to talk to me?

Sid: You're team's in a bit of trouble, isn't it? I could offer you something to turn the tables…

"I've got a bad feeling about this." Yang said.

Yuuya: Another new Lock?

Sid: No. This.

Sid lays something on the table. A Belt buckle with a lever shaped like a cutting knife.

"That belt!" Ruby pointed dramatically at the screen. "It's the one all those armored men wore!"

"So Yuuya is one of those men?" Weiss said. "Then how come he wasn't in the opening scene?

With Kouta, he had just gotten done with another delivery when he got a text.

Kouta: Yuuya? 'I got my hands on something good. Come and check it out.'

He scrolls down and sees the picture of the belt buckle.

Kouta: The heck?

"You think Yuuya's gonna give it to Kouta?" Ruby asked.

"It's a possibility." Blake said.

We see Mai once again looking around before she sees Kouta who greets her.

Mai: What're you doing here, Kouta?

Kouta: Yuuya called me here.

The two walk around until then suddenly stumble upon something. It was one of those zippers that appeared when someone opened a Lockseed as it was surrounded by tall grass and strange fruit.

"Where did that come from?" Yang wondered, that bad feeling coming back to her.

"Did somebody open a Lockseed or something?" Ruby asked.

"Something doesn't see right here." Blake said.

The camera zooms in on these stange plant ranging from ones that were growing cotton to the stanger looking ones.

Mai: What are these?

"That's what we're wondering." Yang said.

"They kinda look like fruit." Ruby said.

Kouta calls Mai and brings her over to the portal. On the other side was what appeared to be a forest.

Kouta: Where do you think this leads to?

Not even waiting for an answer, Kouta goes through the portal, leaving Mai with no choice, but to follow. They place they were at was a forest surrounded by mysterious mist as hanging from the trees were strange looking fruit.

"If it wasn't for the music, "I would say that this forest looked beautiful." Blake said.

"Ditto." Yang said.

Mai: What is this place?

Kouta: Don't ask me!

Suddenly, Mai grabs Kouta and hides.

Kouta: What the heck's gotten into you?

Mai: Shh! Look.

Showing what Mai saw, it was a pair of Inves eating the fruit from the trees. One ate happily while the other did like the one it was eating.

"Inves? What are they doing here?" Yang wondered.

"Maybe this is where they live." Weiss guessed.

Kouta: Are those Inves?

Mai: Gotta be.

Kouta: Then, is this some kind of Inves nest?

"As of right now, it seems so." Blake said.

"But why would anyone leave a portal that big from where they came from?" Weiss wondered. "Clearly these things are dangerous so if Inves that big escape, it could cause a panic."

"We'll just have to keep watching to find out." Ruby said.

Kouta looks around the place before his eyes on some of the fruit in the trees and for some reason, he seems hypnotized by the fruit. Meanwhile, something with claws appears behind Mai.

"Uh, what is that?" Yang asked.

"Should I be more worried for Mai or to the hypnotized Kouta?" Weiss asked.

Kouta: It looks delicious…

"I would go eating things form places I don't know if I were you." Yang said before she realized that she was talking to the screen. 'Dammit, now Ruby's got me doing it.'

Just as Kouta was about to take a bite out of the mysterious fruit, Mai turns around and sees the Byakko Inves. Upon seeing it, she screams which snaps Kouta out of his daze.

"That's the monster form the opening!" Ruby shouted.

Kouta: Mai!

Kouta grabs the girl by the arm and quickly runs. Of course, the Inves gives chase, but after a while, it seems Kouta and Mai are safe.

Kouta: Have we lost it?

Mai slumps down in exhaustion until she sees something.

Mai: Kouta, look!

Kouta turns to see what Mai found and it was none other than the item Yuuya was given.

"It's the belt buckle." Ruby stated the obvious.

"Yeah, but if that's here, then Yuuya's here too." Yang said.

"Question is, where is he?" Blake said.

"You don't think he's…" Ruby didn't finish and she didn't have to. With Inves crawling around, the girls thought it was a high possibility. Why else would the thing Yuuya called them for be lying on the ground?

Kota: This is what Yuuya wanted to show us, isn't it?

Mai: Then Yuuya must have come here too…

Kouta: It looks like some kind of belt buckle…

As Kouta examined it, he places it around his waist when suddenly, a belt materializes around his waist as the indicator flashed to show Gaim's helmet.

"Cool!" Ruby quickly shouted.

Then, suddenly, the fruits in Kouta's hand, transformed into Lockseeds, depicting and Orange and a Strawberry, with the words L.S.-05. Both Koita and Mai were surprised.

And they weren't the only ones.

"The fruits turned into Lockseeds!?" Ruby said.

Kouta: Then…does that mean all these fruits are…

"Lockseeds…" The girls stared wide eyed at this realization.

"And Kouta was just about to eat them." Yang said.

"What do you think would have happened if he ate them?" Ruby asked.

"For some reason, I don't want to know." Weiss said.

Suddenly, as Kouta and Mai looked around in realization, the Byakko Inves appeared once again. Quickly, the two ran and the Inves gave chase and continued to chase them out of the portal they had come from. The two then hid themselves.

Mai: What is that thing? Is that an Inves too?

Kouta: Don't ask me.

"We assume it is." Blake said. 'Great, now I'm doing it.'

As the two were catching their breaths, Kouta noticed something. The Lockseed could be placed in the slot of the belt buckle. Suddenly, the Inves releases a blast of energy, destroying the things around it.

"That thing will destroy everything if nothing is done." Blake said.

"What can they do?" Weiss said as she had seen so far that this world had nobody like the Huntsmen. Hell, they probably did have Aura. "It's not like they're gonna transform or something."

Kouta: I'll draw him away, Mai! You run away while he's distracted!

Mai: What are you saying, Kouta!?

Kouta: Just find somebody, anybody! Otherwise, it'll kill us both!

Mai: Kouta!

Before Mai could stop him, Kouta ran out and called to the Inves.

Kouta: This way, you freak!

"He could possibly die, yet he's still doing this so Mai could escape." Once again, Kouta has gained respect from Blake if not everyone at this point.

"Let's hope can find anybody that can help." Yang said.

Kouta soon runs the second the Inves sees him. Along the way, Kouta shows off some impressive parkour skills until he runs into a dead end as the Inves finally catches up to him. With no other choice, Kouta picks up a pipe and fights, but it had no effect. The Inves back hands him before kicking him. He then grabs him before he throws him through the fence. As Kouta rolls on the ground, we see that he has a bit of blood coming from his lips.

"This is bad. He'll be killed at this rate." Weiss said.

"Kouta, you have to get up!" This time, Yang said nothing to Ruby.

Kouta looks at the Inves who was slowly making it way to him. Suddenly, Kouta remembers the slot in the belt as the music changed.

"The music changed. Something awesome is about to happen!" Ruby said.

"This music is strange, yet it feels so powerful." Weiss commented.

Slowly, Kouta gets up, glares at the Inves before he holds up the Orange Lockseed and opens it.

ORANGE!

Suddenly, appearing above Kouta was a zipper, opening up to reveal an orange, but it wasn't the citrus fruit itself, rather it was a metal sphere painted orange with metal studs on the surface.

"Well…that's a thing.' Yang commented.

Kouta seems confused but focuses and places the lock in the belt before locking it.

LOCK ON!

And them, horn-like noises sound; the kind Japanese warlords sounded during the Sengoku Era, but it sounded techno at the same time.

Kouta: Now what?

Kouta looks what to do next before grabbing the knife-like lever. He then pushes it down and 'slices' the Lockseed.

SOIYA!

The front of the Lockseed opens up, revealing an orange slice core as the lower part depicted an image of a scimitar themed after an orange slice. And then, the 'orange' fell down upon Kouta, landing on his shoulders and donning him in a blue bodysuit.

ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE

Kouta: What? Wait, am I an orange now?

Kouta looks around in confusion before his head is donned in a familiar helmet. Studded orange steel soon decorated the back as the visor become orange like an orange slice. And then, the 'orange' disassemble itself, the sides folding in half to form the shoulder pads, the chest plate with a black line on top, and leaning on the back was the top of the orange with the silver inside facing out. On top of that, the orange scimitar, the Daidaimaru, appeared in his right hand. Kouta had become…Kamen Rider Gaim!

Kouta: Eh? Eh!? EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH!?

And of course, Ruby geeked out like the weapon otaku she was as well as the hero fan that she was as she once again became Chibi Ruby.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmysh! Hebecameasuperherohebecameasuperherohebecameasuperhero! Ohmygoshthatsuitandarmorlooksamazing!"

"Calm down sis." Yang said as she struck Chibi Ruby across the head once and that was all it took to turn her back to normal size. "You're getting way too excited."

"How can I not be? Look at him!" Ruby said. "That armor looks amazing. And looks at his weapons! So this is Kamen Rider Gaim."

"How do you figure?" Yang asked.

"Well, he used to be on Team Gaim And the show is called Kamen Rider Gaim so wouldn't it be obvious?" Ruby said. "Plus, looks at him! He looks so awesome!"

"True, he does look impressive." Weiss said. "The ornage sword is a bit silly in my option. Wonder what can he now do with it?"

"I think we're about to find out." Blake said as they all focused back on the screen.

The Byakko Inves roars before he jumped towards Gaim. Freaking out, Gaim could do nothing as the Inves beat up on him.

Gaim: Ow! That hurts!

"If you can still make comments, it can't be that bad." Yang said.

Annoyed, he pushed the Inves off him as was later surprised that he flipped him over.

Gaim: Hey…can I take him on like this?

Angry, the Inves attacks again as their fight leads to a ware house.

Gaim: Hey, hey, hey! Fun's over! We can stop now!

'Why am I suddenly reminded of Jaune?' Weiss thought.

Kouta blocks a claw swipe and pushed the Inves back before he slashes its chest two times before jumping back. Angry, the Inves grabs him and throws though bates and barrels. Getting up, Gaim goes for a stab, but the Inves bats away his weapon and grabs him by the neck. Gaim tries to reach for anything until he remembered that he had a second weapon. He quickly grabbed it and slashed the Inves, making it let go of him as well as stumbling back. Gaim then gives it another slash crass the chest before he goes and retrieves his other weapon, now duel wielding.

Gaim: Alright, okay, good. I can do this!

"Go Kouta! Kick his butt!" Ruby cheered.

Gaim test both weapons before he charges. He first slashes with the Musou Saber, and then the Daidaimaru, before Gaim finishes it with both weapons across the chest, sparks igniting with each hit. With smoke coming off of him, the Byakko ran.

Gaim: Get back here!

Gaim gives chase until the Inves jumps and reaches higher ground.

Gaim: He jumped that!?

Now on higher ground, the Inves shoots down at Gaim, blowing up the cars around it. Gaim barely escapes the explosions.

"This Inves is versatile, I'll give it that." Weiss said.

"We should be glad that we don't have anything like that here." Blake said and everyone agreed with her. They already had enough on their hands with Grimm and criminals.

Gaim: Fine! Me too!

Gaim then jumps for it, but he underestimated how far he jumped as he easily jumped to the platform the Inves was on.

"Dang, Kouta's got jumps." Yang commented.

"That suit must have boosted all of his abilities." Weiss said. "Amazing."

"So cool!" Ruby said.

Because Gaim was so surprised, he only reached the rails =, giving the Inves a chance to hit as he fell to the ground.

Gaim: Owww…Just you wait!

Not wanting to go through that again, Gaim looks for another way and…goes up the stairs.

"The stairs? Really Kouta?" Weiss said. "Only Jaune would do something like that."

"Are you comparing Kouta with Jaune?" Yang asked.

"Well, there are a few things similar between the two." Blake said. "Kouta's more mature than him, but then again, he is older than all of us.

Gaim: Waiting's over!

By the time Gaim finally reached made it up, he was greeted by a kick from the Inves.

"Walked right into that one." Weiss said.

"Hey, give him a break." Yang said. "He isn't a fighter like us."

"Yang's right, but he's surprisingly holding his own very well." Blake commented.

Gaim was pushed back, but quickly recovers and feints his weapons at the Inves.

Gaim: Bring it on!

Gaim goes for an attack, but the Inves tackles him. While struggling, Gaim notices Pallete Slide on the Musou Saber.

Gaim: What's this?

Gaim pulls it back and pulls the trigger, firing a shot that made the Inves pull back in surprise as Gaim jumped in surprise.

"It's also a gun!" Ruby cheered. She was loving these weapons!

Gaim: Whoa! That surprised me!

Gaim pulls the Slide back again and fires four shots!

Gaim: Nice!

But then, the sword-gun made the sound the he was out of ammo.

Gaim: What!? I'm already out! Come on!

"Aw~! Only four shots?" Ruby said. "Lame."

"I have to agree with Ruby on this one, what good is four shots?" Yang said.

"I think the weapon is supposed to more of a sword than a gun." Blake said. "The gun is probably just there to provide long range support in case it's needed."

Seeing that Gaim was out of ammo, the Inves attacked. Quickly, Gaim dodges and backs away when he notices something. There was a slot in the Daidaimaru. He looked at it and the Daidaimaru and had an idea.

Gaim: Wait, do these…?

Testing his theory, he inserted the Musou Saber and combined the two into the Naginata mode.

Gaim: They do!

"They combined!" Ruby cheered.

"A Naginata, interesting." Blake said.

Twirls his combined weapon before the Inves attacks. Quickly dodging, Gaim goes on the attack before the camera changes to a bird's eye view where the Inves goes up with Gaim following.

Gaim: Quiet running!

Gaim goes for a stab, but the Inves blocks and pushes Gaim back. Taking a moment to catch his breath, Gaim goes for another attack, blocking two attacks before the third got him. The Inves then grabbed him and threw him off the building and down below. Surprisingly, he was fine. Gaim groans in pain before he hears footsteps. Looking behind himself, he sees…

Gaim: Mai?

The team blinks in confusion.

"Okay, what is going on here?" Yang said. "One minute, she's normal, but then then next, she looks like she's some sort of goddess."

"Don't you think that's going a bit too far?" Weiss said. Goddess? Yeah, that was a stretch.

"She looks beautiful…" Ruby commented.

Mysterious Woman: Be warned. Your choice now will turn the course of fate.

Gaim: Is that you, Mai?

Mysterious Woman: Continue down this path and there shall be no turning back. You will have to fight until the bitter end. Till the world is dyed in your image.

"Uh, what does she mean by that?" Ruby asked, but of course, no one answered.

"Till the world is dyed in your image?" Weiss repeated. "That's a bit much don't you think?"

"I'm starting to think that this isn't Mai." Yang said.

Gaim: If that's…

Suddenly, the Inves appears again. Quickly, Gaim gets in front of the woman protectively.

Gaim: If that's what it takes to protect you!

The woman looks down sadly for some reason before she suddenly removed Gaim's Lockseed.

LOCK OFF!

Gaim: Eh?

"What is she doing? He needs that!" Ruby said.

The woman then puts the lock into his free hand before the Inves attacks. Gaim quickly blocks his attack and pushes him back before he knocks him off the building and quickly follows. Looking back at the woman, she points to his weapon and he finally notices the slot in it, just like his belt. Seeing what she means, he locks the Lockseed into the weapon.

LOCK ON! ICHI! JU! HAYKU! SEN!

Gaim: Like this?

"I sense something awesome is about to happen." Yang said and she wasn't the only one.

The Byakko Inves finally got up and fired its energy beams. Acting on instinct, Gaim twirls his weapon, blocking the Inves' attack, surprising it.

Gaim: Eat this!

Gaim then sent two energy slashes towards the Inves, trapping it in a fiery energy orange projection. Gaim then twirls his weapon until the Daidaimaru was in front.

ORANGE CHARGE!

With a battle cry, Gaim charges and slashes the Inves, slicing the projection and it in half before the Inves literally exploded as orange slices flew out.

The girls instantly cheered at what had just happened.

"That was awesome!" Ruby cheered.

"Despite not having combat experience, he held his own til the very end." Weiss said.

"He did good." Was all Blake said.

"Way to go orange boy." Yang said.

Gaim then takes the Lockseed out of his weapon and locked it back into his belt before he closed it, reverting him back to his human form, to Kouta. Kouta stared back at what he had just done before he looked down at his hands. While doing so, Mai appeared.

Mai: Kouta…

Kouta: Mai…Then what just…

Mai: What happened to that monster!? Did you beat it?

"He did more than just beat it. He destroyed it!" Yang said.

"Still, who was that woman and why did she look like Mai?" Blake said.

Mai looks around for the Inves while Kouta takes out the Lockseed and stares at it.

Mai: Kouta…?

Kouta: I…really transformed!

"Heck yeah you did!" Ruby said. "I want to transform too!"

"That would require getting one of those belt buckles of your own which does not exist." Weiss said.

"Hey, a girl can dream, right?" Ruby said.

The scene then changes as a zipper closes, showing off Gaim's logo in gold as the Lockseeds he has, Orange and Strawberry, were shown. And then…

Narrator: Next time, one Kamen Rider Gaim.

"Oh! A preview!" Ruby said as she and the team paid close attention.

Kouta: I seriously transformed, sis!

The scene shows Kouta with his sister before showing Gaim in his room and…trying to make a delivery.

"…Really?" Was all Weiss could say as she saw what had happened.

Kaito: Your strength is the only thing you can rely on.

The scene shows Kaito and Team Baron dancing before it shows the Team confronting team Gaim before I changes again to show Zangetsu fighting Inves in the Helheim Forest.

"Strength can only get you so far in life." Blake said after hearing what Kaito had just said.

"It looks like we're going to see that white Rider next time." Weiss pointed out, curious to see what he can do.

Kouta: If I use this power to protect everyone, then…

The scene changes to show Kouta transforming before it shows Gaim fighting a new Inves. And then…

PINE ARMS! FUSAI DESTROY!

The scene then shows Gaim in a new Arms, Pineapple Arms, before it shows Gaim preparing to kick the Inves.

Episode 2: Deadly! Pineapple Kick!

"Oh~! A new form and weapon!" Ruby said with stars in her eyes.

"And it's a pineapple…" Weiss said.

"This series theme is weird." Yang said.

"Yet they somehow make it work." Blake said.

"So, thoughts on the characters do far?" Ruby asked the team.

"I think we can all agree that Kouta, his sister, and Team Gaim or the only nice people here while Team Baron are…" Weiss tried to think of a word that didn't make her sound vulgar.

Fortunately, Yang was here to save the day. "Jackasses?"

"Yeah, let's go with that." Weiss said.

"Team Baron disgusts me." Blake said.

"So…Next episode?" Ruby asked.

"Next episode." They all said.

And done! There you have it people, the first chapter of RWBY watching Kamen Rider. I hope you all liked it. I personally think that the reactions could have been better, but you take what you get. Tune in next time for more RWBY in this story next time.
