Hey there folks, it's Toolazy2write here.

While it's been a bit of awhile since I put out anything (it's so hard to keep regular updates while working), but this story combines a lot of things I really like, Arkos, fast paced action, and most important of all KAMEN RIDER.

I mean what's not to love about the franchise. It's only been about two years since my buddy converted me to Rider fandom, but I've marathoned through series after series since then. I just can't get enough. My favorite being Fourze, W, and Drive with special mention to Gaim so expect heavy influences.

So when I sat down to work on something more purely Arkos than my other more popular story (Coco and Honey, give it a peak if you're bored) I thought why not find a way to shove in a decent portion of Kamen Rider into the mix.

Well enough of me talking...at least til the blurb at the end.

Disclaimer: RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth Productions and Kamen Rider is owned by Toei corporation...If I owned them there'd be a RWBY/Fourze crossover right now.


There was once a time when the lands of Remnant were at peace and the kingdoms of man lived in harmony. But that time has long since been closed thanks to The Creatures of Grimm. No one knows where they came from or even what manner of creature they truly were, just that their only goal seemed to be the destruction of all mankind. The kingdoms of man rose up against The Grimm as best they could, raising armies of their bravest and mightiest warriors, but as the battles raged on the tolls of war weighed almost too heavy for the forces of man to bear. One by one settlements, villages, and even cities fells to the tide of the Creatures of Grimm. It seemed that fate had all but drawn the curtain on the history of man.

That is until a hero emerged.

Much like The Grimm no one knew where this man came from or from where he derived his awesome power, but as the number of his victories grew and the tales of his heroism spread humanity soon came to regard his name with honor and praise so strong that it would be forever remembered throughout the annals of history.

The Kamen Rider.

Under the banner of this masked savior humanity was able to rally back against The Grimm, taking back lands and cities many had thought forever lost. But then finally at the height of humanity's greatest and most hard fought victory Kamen Rider, the hero and protector of the people, vanished over the horizon never to be seen again.

With the threat of The Grimm pushed back humanity was once more able to return to peace, but humanity was still gripped by the fear that someday the beasts would rise up to finish the war they'd started. To protect themselves and honor the memory of their once great protector the kingdoms of man began training their children in the ways of combat and war.

To this day the Creatures of Grimm have yet to reemerge and the legend of The Kamen Rider lives on in the hearts of the people as does his legendary battle cry.

HENSHIN!

20 years later…..

It was a beautiful day in Vale as Pyrrha Nikos made her way to school. Occasionally she'd pass a group of students and catch brief glimpses of their conversations which would sadly more often than not shift to the subject of her before she'd passed out of ear shot, but today she didn't have time for that. Today the redheaded amazon was too absorbed in thoughts of schoolwork, training, and her rather all-encompassing extracurricular activities. That is until a loud wailing cry pulled her from her thoughts.

Pyrrha looked up and there across the way was a young girl, no more than five or six years old, bawling her little eyes out. Of course Pyrrha's first instinct was to go help the child but before she could make a move to cross the street a yellow topped blur pushed past her muttering a clumsy. "Excuse me, sorry." When Pyrrha collected herself she saw a tall blonde boy kneeling down and doing his best to console the girl. "That's strange." Pyrrha thought to herself. "He's wearing our uniform, but I don't think I've ever seen him before." While she was thinking this the boy seemed to have managed to calm the girl down and began leading her away. Pyrrha considered following them but unfortunately her scroll began to buzz. The alarm vibrated as a reminder to her that she still needed to stop by the school's main office before classes today. When she looked back up the boy and girl were gone so she decided to continue making her way towards the campus at a somewhat quicker pace. "Hmm, maybe I should keep an eye out for him once I get to school."She thought to herself.

At that same time at an undisclosed location….

The room was dark and ominously silent as a sharply dressed man wandered in. He knew his employer had a flare for the dramatics, but personally he'd rather not deal with them himself. But still a job was a job after all. He paused to light his cigar with a battered looking zippo and took a minute to appreciate what little of the art he could see decorating the walls of the dimly lit room. Most seemed to depict scenes from the wars with The Grimm, more accurately they depicted scenes of The Grimm beating back or outright defeating the human warriors. They were a tad morbid for his tastes but he guessed there was really no accounting for that when dealing with art.

"Roman." A voice called to him from the shadows. "Is everything proceeding according to plan?"

The red haired criminal merely turned in the direction of his shadow cloaked employer and grinned. "Well boss it took some doing, seeing as how we had to nab most of the essentials from all over town on such short notice." He jabbed playfully. Unfortunately he knew by now his benefactor did not share his glib sense of humor, he could almost feel them glaring at him from the shadows. "But now we're back on schedule. In a few hours everything will be ready for next stage of the plan."

"Good, everything is falling into place. Make sure nothing gets in the way of our plans." The voice barked. "I will not broker any failure."

"Wouldn't think of it." Roman said giving a theatrical bow before hearing the sound of his mysterious employer exiting the room. Roman let out an unenthused sigh. "There's just no respect for craft these day I guess." He mussed before making his own exit, twirling his cane as he went.

Back in Vale….

"Mommy!"

"Sweetie! I was so worried!"

Jaune smiled to himself as he watched the mother and child embrace one another. Sure he hadn't planned on helping a lost child find her mother this morning, but he was more than happy to be of assistance.

"Thank you so much young man." The mother said looking back up at him. "Is there anything I can do to repay you?"

"No, no, it's fine ma'am. I'm really just glad I could help." Jaune reassured the woman. "Plus it wasn't really any trouble, it was on my way to school."

"Well either way thank you again." The mother said before looking at her watch. "But you should probably be getting to school now."

Jaune just chuckled and reached for his Scroll. "Oh don't worry ma'am I still have plenty of time." He said before checking the time. "Oh no I'm so gonna be late!" Jaune cried as he saw the time, immediately turning back the way he came and sprinting off. "Now Molly remember not to wander away from your mommy!" He shouted to the girl over his shoulder almost as an afterthought.

"Okay Mister, I will!" The girl called back giggling as Jaune nearly tripped as he toppled through some trashcan while trying to round the corner.

"Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap! Way to go Jaune, it's only your first day at one of the best combat schools in the kingdom and you're already going to be late!" Jaune mentally berated himself as he rushed towards the school. It wasn't until now that Jaune realized just how on edge he was as he just barely managed to clear a low garden wall in one leap, stumbling wildly as his foot clipped the edge. He'd always dreamed of attending a school like Beacon, he never even thought he'd get the chance to even take one of their entrance exams. But here he was, transferring into one, and to Beacon no less. He was now one step closer to realizing his dream of becoming a great warrior like his idol, The Kamen Rider. Jaune grinned as he rounded another corner, there it was, the school entrance. He was gonna make it.

"Look out!"

Jaune had all of two seconds to register the cry coming from his left before he was crashed into by a red topped blur and sent sprawling in a tangle of limbs to the harsh pavement. After they'd managed to skid to a halt the body on top of him let out a muffled groan. "Ugh…that hurt."

Jaune just moaned. "You're telling me."

The headmaster's office a few moments prior…..

"Ah Pyrrha, I'm glad you could make it." Professor Ozpin greeted warmly from his spot by the window that overlooked the campus below while he enjoyed his coffee.

"It was no trouble at all Professor." Pyrrha assured with a slight bow still getting caught up in her habit for etiquette despite the considerable amount time she'd spent assisting the Professor.

The old gentleman turned towards her with a warm smile. "I would like to commend you on your fervor in completing your extracurricular duties of late."

"Thank you sir, but I'm just trying to do my part." Pyrrha blushed a little at the praise. "I've just about compiled a list of candidates from amongst the second and third year students."

"Very good Miss Nikos." Ozpin assured. "But there's something else I'd like you to look into for the time being."

"What is it sir?"

"We have a new student arriving today, one that I have high hopes for." Ozpin paused turning back towards the window as sipped from his mug. "I'd like you to keep an eye on them and…evaluate their potential." He said spying the boy as he crashed to the ground just outside the gates.

Back to outside the school gates….

"Oof, sorry about that." The girl on top of Jaune apologized once she'd managed to push herself off of the prone boy. "Hey, I don't recognize you, are you new?" The girl asked. Jaune was finally able to get a look at her. She had dark hair with crimson playing at its tips and looked a little too young to actually be wearing the beacon uniform she had on under her unzipped track jacket. Before he could answer her the first bell of the day rang and a look of pure terror played across her face. "Oh no, oh no, oh no! Sorry gotta go! Talk to you later maybe, bye!" She squealed desperately all at once before shooting off towards the school at incredible speed.

Jaune took all of a second to marvel at the girl's impressive speed before the implications of the bell hit and he scrambled to his feet and made a bee line to the office all the while muttering curses under his labored breath. Jaune managed to make it to the office with just enough time to spare and let them know who he was between gasps and attempts to gulp down air. A very bored secretary at the front desk just huffed, handed him his schedule with a brief set of directions to his first class, then pointed to the clock and told him to hurry.

Luckily Jaune had managed to catch what could loosely be defined as his second wind and made yet another mad dash for his homeroom which just so happened to be halfway across the building from the front office. He was just barely able to make it in the door as the final bell rang.

"Ah, Mister Arc! Right on time! I admire your sense of punctuality!" A jittery man with disheveled green hair, thick glasses, and an odd assortment of mismatched and unkempt clothes greeted at the head of the class. By process of elimination Jaune guessed he had to be the homeroom teacher.

"Um, yeah thanks?" Jaune managed to get out between gasps. It was then he became aware of the fact that all eyes in the class were on him and he had to fight through the mini-stagefright induced panic attack that was starting to seize his incredibly fatigued brain. The hyper man that was apparently the teacher did not help with this.

"Okay class I would like your full attention! We have a new student joining us today! So I hope that you will all greet him with open arms as well as give him your undivided attention at the moment!" The teacher announced while darting around the front of the class. Somehow he'd managed to write out Jaune's name on the blackboard as well before popping up behind him and putting a surprisingly strong gripped hand on his shoulder. "So my boy why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself to the class!"

Jaune really didn't like being in the spot light. Actually scratch that, he really, really, really hated being in the spot light. And now that he standing right smack dab in the middle of the proverbial mother of all spot lights he decided to try and make this brief and hopefully get through the day without any more mishaps. "H-hey, I'm Jaune. My family just moved here from out in the country. I always wanted to come to a school like Beacon so I'm really looking forward to starting my training here today." Jaune just kind of stood there for a moment after that as an awkward silence set in. Luckily for him the teacher was quick to fill the void he'd left in the conversation.

"Ah, short and to the point! A sign of true determination!" He said as he zipped about with a coffee mug he pulled from who knows where. "Now let's get you seated! There seems to be an open seat near the back there!" He pointed near the far right corner of the room by the windows where Jaune noticed the red coated girl from before who was waving earnestly at him now. "Ah, it seems you're already acquainted with Miss Rose! Excellent! Already making friends on your first day here, you'll do just fine!" The teacher assured before zipping behind the podium where he began preparing his notes as Jaune headed towards the back of the class.

"Hey, you're that guy who ran into me this morning." The girl in the red jacket declared as Jaune took his seat.

"Yeah, hey wait a minute you're the one who ran into me." Jaune corrected making the smaller girl puff out her cheeks in a pout.

They argued back and forth for a few moments about who really ran into who. "Okay okay, how about we both just ran into each other." The younger girl finally proposed.

"Yeah, I guess that's fine." Jaune finally agreed. "I'm Jaune by the way." He introduced extending a hand.

"Ruby Rose at your service." The girl answered with a big smile shaking his hand. "Welcome to Beacon. We can be new kid buddies, I was kind of getting tired of being the only one." She joked. The two chatted for the remainder of class paying little attention to the announcements or the fact that a few seats away a certain redhead was watching them intently. Well, watching one of them intently at least.

Once the bell had rung the students started milling out of the classroom. Jaune thought it would be a good idea to tag along with Ruby who was looking over his schedule at the moment. "Hey cool, we're in most of each other's classes."

"Great, I didn't really have time to look around while I was running around the school earlier." Jaune said with a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry Jaune, I've got your back. New kids gotta stick together right? Ooh, there's Weiss!" Ruby said pointing down the hall where a short white haired girl with an interesting ponytail was conversing with a taller redheaded girl wearing some kind of bronze circlet. "We're like total besties, she just doesn't want to admit it yet." Ruby explained dragging Jaune with her to say hello. "Weiss, hey Weiss!"

Down the hall Weiss hissed and pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance before turning towards the source of the noise. "Yes Ruby, hello, what do you want?"

"Aw don't be that way." Ruby teased with a big smile. "Anyway I wanted to introduce you to my new friend, say hi Jaune!" Ruby introduced gesturing between the two.

Remembering his father's words Jaune put on the best confident persona he could muster. "Hi, Jaune Arc, nice to meet you." He said extending a hand and adding a wink for flare which only made Weiss cringe.

"The new transfer student, indeed. Weiss, Weiss Schnee." Weiss said with all the usual politeness she could muster as she shook the boy's hand.

"Wait, Schnee? As in THE Schnees?" Jaune asked in surprise.

"Yes, yes, as in the Schnee Dust Company." Weiss sighed.

"That's so cool." Jaune gushed.

"Yes, thank you. And of course this is Pyrrha Nikos." Weiss said gesturing to the girl standing next to her.

"Hello there." She greeted warmly with a wave.

"Hey, sup?" Jaune said returning her smile.

"Sup? SUP? This is THE Pyrrha Nikos you're talking to!" Weiss complained poking an aggressive finger into a very confused Jaune's chest.

"Pyrrha Who-now?" Jaune just asked not sure what was going on.

"Oh, here we go again." Ruby sighed shaking her head.

"Pyrrha Nikos, top of our class? Four time winner of Mistral's famous mock combat tournament? Professor Ozpin's personal protégé? That Pyrrha Nikos." Weiss listed off.

"Hello again." Pyrrha chimed in unhelpfully while still trying to be cordial.

"Sorry, never heard of her. Wait! You know Professor Ozpin!?" Jaune gasped.

"Oh yes, I suppose so." Pyrrha said before Jaune excitedly took her hands in his own surprising the amazon.

"I never met anyone who knew someone famous before." Jaune said with amazement.

"But she's someone famous!" Weiss protested as the next bell rang.

"C'mon Jaune, we don't wanna be late for class…again." Ruby said tugging on Jaune's sleeve.

"Right, okay um, talk to you guys later." Jaune said before following Ruby down the hall.

"Ye-yeah, talk to you later." Pyrrha called after them with a wave unsure of why she suddenly felt so self-conscious.

"Can you believe that dolt Pyrrha? Pyrrha?" Weiss tried to get the attention of the redheaded girl but Pyrrha all of a sudden seemed lost in thought.

Later that day after the school had let out….

Pyrrha had spent most of the day observing Jaune. It hadn't been much trouble really as it seemed they shared all the same classes, something she expected Ozpin had a hand in orchestrating. Still he seemed to be a genuinely nice person, if not a little clumsy and somewhat awkward, but she couldn't really gauge if he had the same merits as the other students she'd selected as candidates. She did make note of when he almost stood up for Ruby when Cardin Winchester had knocked her to the ground while barging through the halls with his lackeys between third and fourth period, but Ruby had insisted he not for some reason or another. All and all though she'd still hadn't managed to find anything conclusive to report to the Professor. "Hello again." She called out to the blond boy as he passed by her walking towards the school gate.

"Oh hey. Pyrrha right?" Jaune said turning to the redhead as she jogged up beside him.

"That's right. Heading home already?"

"Yeah, we only just got into town a few days ago. There's still some unpacking left to do." Jaune sighed not looking forward to helping his sisters go through even more boxes of clothes back at the house.

"Oh, have you at least had time to get a feel for the city?" Pyrrha asked nicely.

"Nah, not really, aside from checking out a few of the take-out places near our new place." Jaune explained making a mental note to run by that noodle stand later tonight.

"That's a shame, if you'd like we're not far Main Street. I could give you a brief tour if you'd like." Pyrrha offered offhandedly.

Jaune paused for a minute, considering the offer. After a few second he smiled at her making heat suddenly rise to Pyrrha's cheeks. "Sure why not, I have some time to kill."

"Great, just follow me." Pyrrha said happily leading the way. This was perfect, now she would have a much easier time observing Jaune and seeing what the Professor saw in the boy. That was totally the only reason she was doing this. Yep, totally.

On a rooftop looking out over Main Street….

Roman puffed on his cigar looking out on the bustling crowd below as they walked in and out of shop, congregated in the square, or just continued on their commute back home from work. All were blissfully unaware of what they had in store. His Scroll chimed in his pocket alerting him to a new text. He opened it to find a message from Neo. "Ah is everything ready?" He mused aloud. The text was comprised of just two emoji, a winking smiley face and a thumbs up. "Well at least she's saving us a fortune on our texting rates." He joked to himself as he reached into his jacket and pulled out a black remote with a large red button. "Time for the festivities to begin." He grinned.

Back with Pyrrha and Jaune….

Pyrha led the blond boy through the bustling shopping district pointing out restaurants, cafes, and different shops as they went. Jaune could only marvel, he'd never seen building this big back in his home town.

"Are you hungry Jaune?" Pyrrha asked after showing him one of her favorite stores.

"Yeah, I guess I could go for some food." Jaune said thinking back to the small sandwich he'd had for lunch.

"I know a nice ice cream place just down the street." Pyrrha began when suddenly out of nowhere the world erupted into a warzone. Everything was in chaos as explosions ripped through cars and store fronts. Both the young students were taken off their feet by one of the blasts and were hurled yards away as pedestrians screamed and fled in panic.

Back on the roof top….

Roman smirked in satisfaction as everything went off without a hitch. "Alright boys, dinner is served." He chuckled as he watched the next phase of the plan already begin to unfurl.

Back on the street….

Jaune groaned as he tried to get back up. He could hardly hear anything over the painfully loud ringing in his ear and every part of his body ached and throbbed. Finally he managed to make it to his feet and started trying to take in everything. It was chaos everywhere with people in every direction screaming for help and looking for loved ones. That was Jaune remembered Pyrrha. "Pyrrha! Pyrrha! Can you hear me!" He screamed scanning the area as the ringing in his ears finally began to die down.

"Jau…Jaune…" She called to him, coughing from the thick wafting smoke.

Jaune found her a little ways away. Her legs were pinned under a heavy looking hunk of debris but otherwise besides a few scrapes she looked okay. "Pyrrha, are you okay?" He checked worriedly.

"I'm…cough…I'm fine. But I can't move my legs." Pyrrha wheezed struggling to try and pull her legs from rubble.

"Don't worry Pyrrha, I've got this." Jaune reassured scanning the area for anything that could help. He settled on a thick metal rod and a hunk of masonry which he used to help wedge the rod under the debris pinning Pyrrha. "Alright Pyrrha, be ready to crawl out of there okay."

"Thank you…Jaune."

"Don't thank me just yet, okay one…two…three!" Jaune shouted putting all his strength into it as he managed to lift rubble from Pyrrha's legs allowing her to free herself. Jaune collapsed next to her once she was out huffing with exertion. Pyrrha's legs weren't in as bad a shape as Jaune had feared, but it still didn't look like she'd be doing any running any time soon. Before they could say anything to one another they heard a scream that managed pierce through the deafening chaos.

"RUN! IT'S THE GRIMM!"

Like swarm of pestilence they rushed from the dark corners and the alleyways into the streets. Vicious black beasts with horrible white bones protruding from their bodies. The two students could only watch in horror as they struck down the civilians as they rampaged wildly through the area. A scream nearby caught their attention as a mother and child tried to flee from a stalking Grimm.

"Pyrrha hide, I'll try to buy some time!" Jaune grabbed the discarded rod and charged towards the Grimm.

"No Jaune wait!" Pyrrha called after him. She reached around her back for her bag but found nothing. "Oh no, where's my bag, where is it?" She gasped searching the debris.

Jaune leapt at the Grimm just as it had cornered the mother and child swinging down the rod down with all his might at the side of the Grimm's head. "Get out of here!" He cried at the two before getting the beast's attention with another blow. "C'mon ugly over here!"

He now had the Grimm's undivided attention as it turned towards him. He recognized its shape from the history books, it was a Beowolf, but he never really imagined they'd be so big, this one in particular towered at least a full foot and a half taller then him. The beast started to lumber towards him with deep snarling growl and contempt in its seething red eyes. Jaune steeled himself and charged the Grimm once more only this time it was ready for him, blocking his blow with one arm and batting him away with a swipe from its massive claws. Jaune hit the ground hard reeling from the blow as his weapon rolled out of his reach. The Beowolf let out a triumphant howl as it began stalking slowly up to him. Jaune couldn't help but be scared. There he was, weaponless and staring down a huge monster that was literally feeding off his fear, was this really how it all ended?

His thoughts were cut off by a loud battle cry as Pyrrha took a diving leap through the air and sunk Jaune's discard rod through the Grimm's neck from behind driving it to the ground just in front of Jaune.

"Holy crap Pyrrha that was amazing!" Jaune cried rushing to catch the tired girl as she collapsed off the beast. "Oh no, your legs! Are you alright? Can you move?"

"Listen Jaune…we need to…hurry." Pyrrha managed to get out through labored breath as she slung her backpack off her shoulder. "If we're going to save these people you're going to need this." She explained reaching into her bag and pulling out a small metal case which she shoved into Jaune's hands.

Jaune carefully set her down before opening the case. Inside was a strange device and some kind of crystal orb. The device looked like an upside down trapezoid with a tube in the middle with a little window at the bottom and three switches, one on each side and one on the center of the tube. The Crystal looked to be made of a clear substance that glowed faintly yellow with some kind of insignia in the center, it looked somewhat like the pictures and paintings he'd seen of the Kamen Rider's mask. "We don't have much time, put it on." Pyrrha said reaching into the case and grabbing the device before placing it in front of his waist. Like magic a belt materialized out of the device and cinched itself around his waist.

"Pyrrha! What is this? What's going on?" Jaune pleaded grabbing at the device.

"Jaune listen! Do you trust me?" Pyrrha asked looking up at him with a mix of hope and concern in her emerald eyes. She'd hoped that the Professor was right about him, this was really their last hope right now.

Jaune looked down at the injured girl before him. This was all so crazy, less than an hour ago she was just a friend of Ruby's friend he'd met between classes and now she was asking him to trust her with their lives. He was more nervous than he'd ever been in his entire life as howls of the Grimm filled the air interspersed with the screams of the people. All he could think was "What would the Kamen Rider do?" and like that he had his answer. "Alright Pyrrha I trust you." He said taking her hand in his own and giving it a reassuring squeeze.

Pyrrha smiled up at him briefly before reaching into the case and pulling out the crystal. "Now take the Aura Core and place it into the entry slot." She directed handing the orb to Jaune. He followed her instructions and slid the orb into the tube. Once inside there was a loud charging sound and the Orb began to glow brightly. "I can't believe it, it's actually activating. The Professor was right." Pyrrha thought as the light caught the eye of another Beowolf. It growled before charging at them from the other end of the plaza. Jaune saw this and stood up, positioning himself between the charging Grimm and Pyrrha.

"What's next Pyrrha?" Jaune shouted not looking away from the approaching Grimm.

"Flip the right switch. Then the left. Then finally the center." Pyrrha instructed forcing herself to a seated position.

"Okay." Jaune answered. "Here goes nothing." He flipped the first switch and a loud synthesized voice cried out from the belt.

READY!

He flipped the second switch and the voice called out once more.

SET!

Jaune locked eye with the Grimm as it closed in on them. He steeled himself, preparing for whatever mystery would happen next. He placed his hands on top of one another and positioned them high over the final switch. Still he decided if he had to go out fighting he might as well have some cool last words. So as the Grimm closed in on him he slammed his hands down throwing the switch as he cried.

"HENSHIN!"

THE HUNT. IS. ON!

The belt cried out as a blinding flash and wave of force burst from it. The Beowolf was shot back by the blast, impaling it on some jutting rebar of some nearby debris killing it instantly. The rest of the Grimm all turned towards the source of the light as it enveloped Jaune. Pyrrha could only sit and watch as the light faded and where Jaune once stood there now stood and armored clad warrior. "I-it worked….It actually worked!" Pyrrha cheered.

Up on the roof top….

Roman watched in sheer amazement as his cigar fell from his mouth. "You have got to be kidding me."

Back in the square….

"Whoa, what just happened? Wait…What am I wearing?" Jaune cried as he looked at his hands only to find them as well as the rest of him was covered in some kind of armored combat suit. He looked down around and found a piece of broken glass to check his reflection. He now stood there in full white and silver armor with gold accents, a long billowing white and gold scarf, and what seemed to be something strapped to his back. But what shocked him the most was the helmet he was wearing. It looked just like the one Kamen Rider used to wear except this one was white with what looked like a knight's helm coming out of the top.

Jaune was pulled from his thought by a cry from Pyrrha. "Jaune look out!" She yelled as another Beowolf lunged at him from the side. Jaune was caught off guard and could only manage to swing out his arm in a feeble attempt to keep the beast at bay. The blow connected hard with the Grimm's chest and sent it flying back writhing in pain from the blow.

"Whoa, did…did I just do that." Jaune marveled only for another Grimm to try and flank him. Jaune spun around faster than he could believe and hurled his fist at the beast. His fist collided with the Beowolf's face, shattering the Grimm's bone like mask before crashing into the face beneath sending it flying even farther than the last. "This is awesome!" Jaune cheered pumping his fist in excitement. It was then another Grimm came stomping down the street towards the other end of the plaza. It was like a Beowolf, but three times the size of the others with even more monstrous bone like protrusions sprouting from its back. The Grimm just threw up a hand in the direction of Jaune and Pyrrha and roared, spurring its' fellow Grimm to attack. "Oh crap!" Jaune gasped as a pack of roughly ten or more Beowolves charged at him. "Pyrrha, what do I do here?" He called over his shoulder. Right now she still had way more answers to all of this than he did.

"Use your weapons, they're strapped to your back!" She instructed wondering how he'd yet to notice them.

"Oh, okay!" Jaune reached back and drew a shield from behind his back sporting his family's rainbow shaped crest on the front. Sheathed in the top was a hilt to a sword. "Awesome, I bet this some super cool laser sword!" He thought to himself as he unsheathed the blade. Nope, just a regular sword. But Jaune was not really one to complain at the moment as he met the first of the charging Grimm head on. He threw up the shield blocking the beasts attack before cleaving through it with one swing of his sword. The monster collapsed with black smoke trailing from its wounds. Jaune couldn't believe any of this, it was like some kind of dream as he blocked and weaved his way through the pack's blows steadily striking down Grimm after Grimm with his sword. The hulking Beowolf at the end of the plaza was not pleased by the scene as it watched Jaune cut down the last of its comrades. With a deafening roar the beast lunged at Jaune from across the square. Jaune was only barely able to roll out of the way as the creature landed shattering the pavement below. "Um, Pyrrha!" Jaune called back to his friend while dodging long reaching swipes of the beast's claws. "Any tips on how to take this thing down?" He cried when he found that slashing at the beast's side did little more than fuel its rage.

"Oh, sorry!" She called back realizing she'd become too enraptured in the fight and forgot Jaune still didn't know anything about the belt or its systems. "Get some distance and flip the switches on the sides twice!" She shouted out. "You'll be able to release a charged attack!"

"Gotcha!" Jaune said throwing her a thumbs up. He slashed at the Grimm's arm to get its attention. "C'mon ugly, I know you want a taste!" He taunted. The Beowlf snarled and lunged at him. This was just what Jaune wanted as he rolled out of the way. As he evaded the Beowolf couldn't stop itself from crashing head long into a row of bombed out cars, stunning it for the moment. Jaune put some distance between them before sheathing his sword back in his shield and slinging it back behind his shoulders. "Alright, here goes nothing…again." Jaune thought to himself as he followed Pyrrha's instructions, flipping the switches once, then twice triggering another cry from the belt.

FINAL BLOW!

Again a bright glow encircled Jaune from head to toe. He felt as though he could there was some kind of energy welling up inside him, just looking for a way out. He watched as the Beowolf struggled up to its feet and decided there was only way to finish this fight. He'd read about it over a hundred times in the past. He took a running start at the beast feeling like each step was filled with explosive power before leaping into the air. He flipped with new found agility before readying his strike, a diving kick. The Beowolf had no time to react as Jaune's attack collided with its open chest. The sheer force of the blow erupted outward as Jaune burst through the beast and out to the other side. The Grimm could only groan in a mixture of pain and defeat as it crumpled to its knees before topping over in an explosion of thick black smoke.

As the smoke clear Jaune emerged. He stood there for a moment, letting everything sink in. Then without warning he erupted with joy. "I did it! I won! I beat the Grimm!" He cheered jumping up and down with joy.

Up on the roof top….

Roman clenched his cane in irritation as Neo materialized out of nowhere. She twirled her umbrella in her hand as she sauntered up to the edge of the roof and peered out over all the carnage with a look of childlike bemusement. Roman ignored this and pulled out his Scroll, speed dialing a number before putting it to his ear. He registered the click on the other end of the call and skipped right to the point. "It's Roman. There's been a complication."

His employer on the other end of the line recognized his tone lacked his usual cavalier attitude. This tempered their response quite a bit. "What kind of complication?"

"The kind that wears a mask and a scarf." He retorted before turning and stalking off the roof.

Back in the square below….

Jaune continued to celebrate his victory, really though could you blame him. It was like he was living his dream. And it was all thanks to… "Pyrrha!" He cried remembering his injured friend. Quickly he rushed back over to her to find her looking no worse for the ware, well aside from her earlier injuries. "Pyrrha are you okay, is there anything I can do to help?" He asked afraid to touch her while still transformed. "Um, how do you turn this thing off exactly?"

Pyrrha just laughed and reached up flipping off each of the switches and retrieving the Aura Core through a hatch on the bottom of the tube. Jaune's armor dematerialized in a flash of light leaving him back to his normal school uniform. "I'll be just fine Jaune." She assured placing a hand on his arm. "You did great out there."

Jaune couldn't help but blush, whether it was from the praise or the physical contact he wasn't sure, it was hard to tell with all the adrenaline still pumping through his veins. "Thanks Pyrrha, but what's going on, what were you doing with that belt?" He asked slowly helping her back up to her feet.

"Well Jaune that's a bit of a long story." Pyrrha explained leaning on the boy for support. A strange feeling suddenly seemed to engulf amazon. It felt as if somehow her injuries were beginning to heal on their own. Of course that wasn't the only odd feeling she was experiencing right now, but she was pretty sure both had something to do with how close she was to Jaune at the moment. "But let me congratulate you. You just became the first Kamen Rider in twenty years. How's it fell Kamen Rider Hunter?" She asked jokingly.

Jaune was so surprised he almost dropped the injured girl. Almost.


Well there you go guys.

Wow, I had no idea how much exposition goes into a Kamen Rider story until I had to work my way through writing it all before I could get to the fun actiony bits.

If any of you were curious or wanted a better mental picture of Jaune's drive and Rider form, please let me try to better explain. The driver looks similar to the villain's from OOOs/Fourze crossover just with switches replacing the core medal slots and Jaune's Rider form looks a bit like a cross between W's and Ryuki's base forms. I'll let you figure things out from there.

Truth be told this story really first came into being when on a bored day I realized you could replace all the main Characters in the Fourze cast with characters from RWBY...just think about that and you'll see what I mean.

So hey why don't you just drop me a review, I love hearing from you readers and would love finding out which is your favorite series. I promise I won't even hold it against you if you like Wizard.

Also if you liked this check out my other stories cause I'm always looking for new readers.

Til next time guys.
