Hey everyone and WELCOME to the eighth episode of RWBY: (Genius Gamer Shadow) Ex-Aid Reader x Ruby Rose! Boy, this is long... Really really long... Anyway, I might change things a bit in the near end, so... hope fully it will be epic. So, just a recap of the disclaimer again, I DO NOT OWN RWBY AND I DO NOT OWN KAMEN RIDER EX-AID. RWBY is from RoosterTeeth and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is from Toei.

So, enjoy the insert, sit back, and LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!

*hits gong real hard*

3rd person's POV:

Up in the blue sky, Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose are seen hanging on to something very feathery and very fast, as evidence by the loud wind and the two being blown sideways.

Weiss: (shouting to be heard) Ruby! I told you this was a bad idea!

Ruby: (also raising her voice) We're fine! Stop worrying!

Weiss: I am so far beyond worrying!

Ruby: In a good way?

Weiss: In a bad way! In a very bad way!

Ruby: Well, why don't we just jump!

Weiss: What are you? Insane?!

She is met with silence; Ruby has already disappeared. Realizing that she had already jumped;

Weiss: Oh, you insufferable little red-!!

My POV:

Down on the ground in the Abandoned Temple, Blake Belladonna is still starring skyward and pointing for Yang Xiao Long to look up. Mitchell Striker is just looking skywards to see what Blake is looking, Rachel Claws is just starring at the forest, Tenka Kaito and I are just getting ready to strike anything that will try ripping us apart.

Yang: Blake did you hear that? What should we do?

Ruby: (falling right towards them, finally getting Yang's attention) Heads uuuuuuuup!!

Just as she's about to hit the ground panicking, Jaune Arc comes flying through the air

Me: Hmm? (hearing someone panicking and looks up) ... WHOA!!

Yang, Rachel, Mitchell, Tenka and Blake heard the sound of ice cracking in my vicinity until they realized I just dematerialized myself into a flurry of snow. Just before Jaune could hit the 'Little Red', a swirl of snow seemed to have grabbed Ruby from harm's way, as Jaune was flung into a tree. I then rematerialize and fell back down towards the others, carrying Ruby bridal-style

Me: You okay, Ruby?

Ruby was silent for a moment as she got her head around what happened

Ruby: SHADOW!!!

She wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a big hug

Ruby: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Me: (weakly) Ruby... you're... strangling... me... urk!

She realized how tightly she was hugging me, and releases her hug from me as she looks down in the ground out of embarrassment

Ruby: Oh, sorry.

Me: No worries... I know... it's okay... I'm cool. (gets up)

Blake: Did your sister just fall from the sky?

Yang: I...

Before she can continue, several crashing noises are heard in the forest ahead of them, and an Ursa emerges, claws swiping, just as a pink blast of energy hits it in the back and it crashes to the ground, depositing its rider

Nora: YEEEE-HAAAAW! (rolls off the creature's back, then gets up and groans, saddened) Awwww... It's broken. (she dashes onto its neck and observes the carcass as Ren comes up behind her)

Ren: (panting and leaning on the monster) Nora! Please... Don't ever do that again. (he looks up again and notices by the pink dotted outline of where his partner should be that Nora has run off again, and looks around frantically)

Nora: (now in the Temple, starring at a golden rook relic) Oooohh... (suddenly grabs it, an animation of stars and her hammer symbol playing in pink background as she dances and sings with the chess piece) I'm queen of the castle~! I'm queen of the castle~!

Ren: (off-screen) Nora!

Nora: (stops dancing with the rook on her head, then salutes, dropping the relic into her hand) Coming, Ren! (skips off to her friend) 

Blake: Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?

Yang: I...

She is once again interrupted once more as a screech is heard from their right, and Pyrrha Nikos comes onto the scene as the scorpion creature uproots entire trees in its chase after her. Pyrrha narrowly dodges its giant claws and keeps on running.

Pyrrha: Jaune!

Jaune: Pyrrha!

Yang: (as Ruby stands up, back on the ground) Ruby!

Ruby: (excited) Yang! (raises her arms as if to give her sister a hug)

Nora: Nora!

She comes in between the two and knocking them off-balance in surprise. The scorpion Grimm continues to follow Pyrrha as she runs

Blake: Did she just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail? 

Rachel: Pretty much.

Mitchell: Here's a one-word answer... Yes.

Yang: (getting angrier until she growls and erupts in a small burst of fire, eyes flashing red) I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?! 

Me: Ain't I already chilled?

The tick-tock of a clock counts down the two seconds of Yang cooling down, Ren running over to a ditzy Nora, with Tenka, Rachel, Mitchell, Blake and Ruby looking up.

Ruby: Umm... Yang? (tugs on her sister's sleeves and points upwards)

Weiss' POV:

Up above, I am still hanging onto my dear life on a talon the size of her entire body that belongs to a gigantic Nevermore.

Me: (calling down to Ruby) How could you leave me?!

Ruby: (shouting up at Weiss) I said "jump"!

Blake and Mitchell: She's gonna fall.

Ruby: She'll be fine.

Ren and me: She's falling.

3rd person's POV:

Jaune is finally out of the tree, panting until he looks up and grins at the sight of Weiss falling through the air, giving him the opportunity to jump off the branch with his arms outstretched and catch her in a slowed-down moment

Jaune: (smiles at Weiss) Just... dropping in?

Me: Well, what do you know...

Weiss is speechless... and Jaune realizes why when they both looked down.

Jaune: Oh, God. (they hang on to each other wide-eyed as their moment of suspension ends, their weapons flying behind them) Oh, nooooooo...

Jaune faceplants into the dirt, limbs splayed out and serves as the perfect spot for Weiss as she lands on his body.

Me: Oooooohhh... Bet that's gonna hurt...

Tenka: Yes. A lot.

Weiss: (mockingly) My hero.

Jaune: (groaning) My back...

The Deathstalker is still hunting Pyrrha, but she manages to land on her side at the feet of the heroes.

Yang: Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!

Ruby: Not if I can help it! (sounds a battle cry and rushes towards the Grimm)

Shadow: Ruby, wait!

Ruby, still screaming, fires Crescent Rose and charges at the oncoming Deathstalker. When the two meet, the Grimm swipes Ruby away and she is knocked back.

Ruby: (getting up slowly) D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!

Ruby turns back to the monster and shoots it in the skull, running away from it and sheathing her scythe as the Deathstalker now goes after her.

Yang: (running forward) Ruby!

Ruby rushes towards Yang, but the Nevermore caws around them, flapping its wings and releasing lines of sharpened feathers with points that catch on Ruby's cape and preventing yang from reaching her.

Yang: Ruby, get out of there!

Ruby: (struggling with the cloak) I'm trying!

The Deathstalker approaches, raising its golden stinger above a scared Ruby and heading down on the helpless girl.

Yang: (reaching out in vain) Ruby!

My POV:

With no time to lose, I race past Yang towards Ruby as Deathstalker was about to aim its stinger towards Ruby.

Me: I will change Ruby's fate... IN MY OWN HANDS!! (places my Game-Driver on my waistline and activates my "Bootleg" Gashat (Maximum Mighty X))

Maximum Mighty ! (Upbeat dramatic techno-rock music)

Me: Max Dai-Henshin! (places Gashat into Driver and forcefully pushed the button on the Gashat into it)

-LEVEL MAX! MAXIMUM POWER~X~!!-

After the transformation, I used my mechanized suit to do a super jump after I did my running head-start and laser-eyed the scorpion Grimm, causing its claws to freeze as a distraction (A/N: As after all, Ice Manipulation) , and spawned two weapons.

-GASHACON SWORD-

-GASHACON KEY-SLASHER-

Me: Time to cool you down a bit! (eyes turning blue and my complexion turns pale) {Luckily, its not visible for people to see}

I then smashed my weapons onto the ground and the sound of ice forming is heard.

Me: Do you always have to be so childish?

Ruby opens her eyes to the sight of the stinger encased in thick ice and lowers her arms from their futile position over her head as she stares at her saviour.

Me: (complexion turns back to normal  behind my Maximum Gamer Form while deactivating my Maximum form and looks back) Heheh.

Ruby: Shadow?

Weiss' POV:

I then storm up to Shadow and Ruby, and stops in front of them in annoyance and concern.

Me: She's not just childish. She's dim-witted, and hyperactive, and don't even get me started on her fighting style.

Shadow: Weiss...

Me: Okay, I suppose I can be a bit... difficult... but if we're going to do this, we're going to have to do this, together. So, if you quit trying to show off, I'll be... nicer.

Ruby: I'm not trying to show off. I want you to know that I can do this.

Me: You're fine. (walks away)

Ruby: (breathes a sigh of relief, then closes her eyes and clasps her hands as she gracefully whispers) Normal knees... (she gets up and stares at the Deathstalker as it struggles to escape with its tail trapped in the ice) Whoa!

Yang rushes up to Ruby and gives her a hug (which Ruby grunts at upon receiving).

Yang: So happy you're okay! Thank you so much, Shadow

Shadow: Anything for a friend in need.

I gave Ruby a quick wink which she blushes at, the two of you began to stare at each other for a moment, then look up at the Nevermore still flying overheard and roaring.

Jaune: (back with the group) Guys? That thing's circling back! What should we do?

Me: Look, there's no sense in dilly-dallying.

Rachel: She's right. Our objective is right in front of us.

Mitchell: It's the main reason why we're thrown from the cliff anyway.

Shadow: Good point...

Ruby: She's right. Our mission is to grab an artefact and make it back to the cliffs. (nods to Weiss) There's no point in fighting these things.

Jaune: Run and live – that's an idea I can get behind!

Rachel: Ditto.

Tenka: Yeah.

Ruby goes over and grabs a gold knight (identical to the one Yang picked out) and Jaune takes hold of a gold rook (similar to Nora and Ren's piece), similar at each other. The Deathstalker continues to fight its bonds, cracking the ice a little in the process.

Ren: Time we left!

Ruby: Right. (waves to the others) Let's go!

???: Not so fast!

Ruby: (looks back) huh?

3rd person's POV, again...:

Out of nowhere, a Bugster with a fancy-looking hat emerges from the forest, interrupting their mission to leave the area.

???: You are not going anywhere!

Shadow: (realizing who he was, I stepped up) Count Salty!

Salty: Dr. Shadow wrath! We meet again, at last!

Weiss: Umm... You two know each other?

Shadow: I'll explain later. Salty, how is that you have returned? I thought I trashed you three years ago, including the time when Gemdeus was still on!

Salty: HA! You didn't know? My king is still alive, and my king isn't just any ordinary Gemdeus.

Shadow: (realizing what he is talking about)

Ruby: Huh?

Me: Gemdeus Machina.

Ruby: Who?

Salty: MINIONS! SEASON THEM UP!!!!

Salty's minions including some Bugster Grimm emerged from the bushes, trees and vines and charges in, much to Shadow's shock to see so many of them.

Shadow: Guys, you go on ahead!

Rachel: We got this!

Mitchell: Rachel, Tenka, Doctor Wrath and I faced these viruses first hand before. So, don't worry about us. We got this. (going into battle stance)

Tenka: Go to your checkpoint!

Ruby: Alright! Let's go!

And with this, Ruby runs forward with everyone following except for a smiling Yang and Blake as the latter approaches her partner.

Blake: What is it?

Yang: (starring proudly at Ruby as she leaps on a boulder and motions the group onward) Nothing...

With that, Blake smiles in realization and leaves, following them from behind with Yang.

The group began heading out of the forest and into another abandoned series of structures as the Nevermore follows them from the air. Everyone spread out when it passes above, concealing themselves behind some of the stone blocks as it perches on a high column and caws.

Yang: (annoyed) Well, that's just great!

Jaune looks behind at the Deathstalker bursting onto the scene.

Jaune: Oh, man, RUN!!

The group emerge from their hiding spots and causing the Nevermore to rise into the air.

Ren: Nora, distract it!

Nora obliges, running out from their block and jumping through the feather projectiles. Nora reaches behind her and launching several heart-topped shells from her grenade launcher, bursting into pink electricity when they hit the Nevermore, causing it to retreat.

She was unaware of the Deathstalker rushing up behind them until Blake and Ren perform a cross-slash with their Gambol Shroud and StormFlower against its shell. Weiss lands next to Nora so she can create a jumping platform beneath them and leap to safety, while Blake and Ren are now being chased.

Pyrrha: Go, go!

Pyrrha stops running beside Jaune and gets out Milo and Shadowmoon respectively, firing red, and series of blue shots along Ren's green blasts for a second until it reaches them and tries to swipe, prompting the group to run again.

The eight races over the ancient stone bridge, not noticing the Nevermore closing in on them until it uses its giant wings to shatter the path right in the middle, forcing Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Nora and Jaune closer to the central collection of columns and Blake, Ren and Pyrrha on the other side with the Deathstalker.

Ruby fires at the retreating Nevermore, while Blake is beaten back by the scorpion.

Jaune: (coming to the edge of the break in the bridge) Man, we gotta get over there! They need help!

Nora: (running beside him) Let's do this!

Jaune: (looks down at the misty abyss) Yeah, but, uh... I can't make that jump.

Nora smiles diabolically at him, laughing as she knocks him back, turns her weapon to its full-length hammer form (more like Halo's Brute Chieftain's Gravity Hammer but different, very different as Nora's hammer form doesn't have a dagger-like knife behind the hammer), and jumps to the edge of the bridge.

Jaune: (seeing what she's about to do) Oh, wait!

Welp, too late anyway, she slams the hammer into the bridge and throws Jaune to the other side, constantly screaming through the air.

Jaune: No, no, no, no, no, NO!!

Nora places one foot on the hammer and fires it off the collapsing section of the bridge, launching herself to slam its face right into the centre of the Deathstalker's skull. She fires it just as the stinger comes down to get her, and blasts back again to avoid its reach, accidentally knocking into Blake and making her fall from the edge. She sees the Nevermore above her and launches her whip so the gun's blade sinks into the edge of the bridge, circling around and leaping onto the aerial Grimm's back.

She dashes all over its body, slashing the entire time, before jumping off and landing on the ruined platform at the top of the columns next to Ruby, then going over to Yang and Weiss.

Blake: It's tougher than it looks!

Yang: (readying her Ember Celica) Then let's hit it with everything we got!

Ruby: (Inner thoughts) I wonder how Shadow's team is doing... like, right now...

---MEANWHILE---

My POV:

It has been ten long minutes and Rachel, Mitchell, Tenka and I managed to annihilate Salty's minions and the Grimm he has infected.

Me: Let's finish this, guys! Fast!

Rachel: Okay! I'll support you with my spears!

Rachel pats my shoulder, combining her semblance with mine.

Mitchell: Got it!

Tenka: (aiming dual Tri-Sector Sparrows at Salty) I'm ready!

Me: Alright, here goes!! (connecting my Parablagun called Parablade onto my right leg, ready to strike) HERE WE... GO!! (I immediately did a huge leap towards Salty)

Rachel: Here we go! (throwing her spears with a combination of Ice and Fire semblance)

Mitchell: (flaps his silver wings a few times to throw out tonnes of silver knife-like feathers)

Tenka: (launches tonnes of arrows from his Sparrows and kicks the remaining ten arrows, hovering in front of him, straight at Salty)

Salty: (being overpowered by our attacks) NOO!!! I WILL NOT BE DENIED!!!

Me: We are ending you... and it time to say goodbye to your sorry face! And let your programmed viruses that we destroyed fall with you!! (kicks Salty in the face, while Rachel, Tenka and Mitchell's weapons and projectiles hit him everywhere again, causing Salty to blow into data)

Once Salty is gone for good, including for Salty's minions and his newfound companions called the Bugster Grimm, we gathered around, figuring out what to do next until we heard loud shrieks and caws.

Me: You heard that?

Tenka: I got this. (sensing his surroundings)

After some time later,...

Tenka: There seems to be an enemy engagement at the far north, straight ahead from here. Two strong foes, one Deathstalker, the other one is "Big Bird" called Nevermore.

Rachel: Great... What now?

Mitchell: We can catch up with them now if w...

Tenka: Wait... (sensing his surroundings again for just a second) Not good, Ruby's team is in trouble with "Big Bird", even worse, there seems to be a huge gap at the bridge that they crossed. Jaune's team is having a tough time too with a Deathstalker, but they are still handling it good though...

Mitchell: Great... JUST GREAT!! Now what?

There is a moment of silence surrounding us, until an idea hit my head and decided to try it before Ruby and Jaune's team get into a heap of trouble with the Grimm.

Me: Guys, I have an idea.

Rachel: Really? Fill us in!

Me: Shall we "unite" ~?

Rachel: Huh??? Shall we do what??

Tenka: (figured out what I meant) Shall we... Shall we do... our... Combinati--- Ooooooh. I see what you mean. Sure.

Mitchell: (looking at Tenka) I get it, now! You want us to combine again but, you want to try something new, right?

Me: Yep!

Rachel: Oh~ Now I see. LET'S GO!!!

With that said, I equipped my Game-Driver once again and readied two of my strongest Gashats, however my other Gashat I have is different. It may be gold but it is different. (You will see it in a sec.)

Me: Okay, brace yourselves.

Rachel, Tenka and Mitchell: Alright!

I then activated my Gashats...

Maximum Mighty X! Hyper (Upbeat dramatic techno-rock music with Upbeat techno-rock guitar riff with techno-angelic tune) DOCKING!

Me: LEVEL SHIFT, Hyper Muteki... Ma...

Rachel: Maximum Warrior Gamer!

Me: Oh Rachel... But still, thanks.

Rachel: (giggling)

Rachel, Tenka, Mitchell and Me: HENSHIN!!!

I triggered a button on Hyper Muteki Gashat and a flap flips down to show a golden-like image of Muteki and it shines Gold, Silver, Cyan and Black

-Bakkān! Mu~te~ki~! -

---MEANWHILE---

(A/N: Music starts here -> 3:08 [Red Like Roses II])

Ruby's POV:

With the Nevermore approaching, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and yang set their weapons to fire a barrage of blasts at the bird, which it either dodges or takes harmlessly until it crashes through the columns and platform. The girls leap from one section of falling stone to the next until they reach the higher bridge on top, just below the cliffs.

Weiss: None of this is working! 

Ruby: (watching Blake whip over to another section of the area and Yang firing a round after flaming a round at the Grimm) I have a plan! Cover me! (she blasts away as Weiss raises her blade and heads into the fray)

Down below, the Deathstalker is still battling Jaune, Ren, Nora and Pyrrha.

Jaune: We gotta move! (they all rush towards it)

The Deathstalker aims a claw at Pyrrha, but she deflects it with her Akouo shield and slashes it with her blade. The scorpion recoils and swipes at her with its other claw, but Jaune is there to deflect it with his own shield, knocking it back so Pyrrha can leap over and attacks its face. Ren runs up firing and gets on the stinger when it tries to hit him, shooting at the base between it and the tail while Nora fires more grenade rounds at the attacking claws. Pyrrha hurls her javelin straight into one of the monster's ten eyes, making it throw Ren to the side.

Nora: Ren!

Ren hits the side of a stone block hard and falls to the ground, not getting back up. Jaune, though, manages to stand and notice the stinger is hanging limply.

Jaune: Pyrrha!

Pyrrha: Done!

She then raises the shield and hurls it like a discus, slicing the stinger off and causing it to fall into the Deathstalker's head as Pyrrha retrieves her rebounding shield.

Jaune: Nora, nail it!

Nora: Heads up!

She jumps on Akouo, Pyrrha leaps as Nora aims her blast down to give herself a maximum lift, and she smiles the entire way up before twirling down until her hammer slams its head into the stinger, driving the point through the Deathstalker's head and crushing the bridge beneath it.

Jaune and Pyrrha bound over the monster, and Nora fires up and away behind them as the monster falls to its doom. Just before Jaune, Pyrrha and Nora could land on the ground, something caught them, to break their fall.

Me: Are you okay, you guys?

Jaune: I'm okay, Shadow. Tha... Wait! Where are you?!

Me: Look to your right, then up, Jaune.

Jaune: (looks at a huge arm, then a huge golden chest plate, then the helmet piece) Shadow? That's you?!

Me: It's not just me, Jaune. It's my team, too.

Rachel: (waving a left hand up at Jaune, Pyrrha and Nora) Hey there, guys.

Nora: Whoa...

Pyrrha: How did you guys combine?

Me: No time. I gotta put you down now as my power-up that I used isn't going to hold much longer.

Jaune: Well, Okay... just, put us down, gently, alright?

Me: Sure. (to reassure him, I gently placed Jaune, Pyrrha and Nora down to the ground, right next to Ren who collapsed onto the ground, once again) 

(A/N: This is what Team STRM's combined form look like, but different... 100% different. The lower torso and legs will be replaced as Giri Giri Chambera Armour pieces (Tenka Kaito), the upper torso and head will be replaced as Hyper Muteki (Shadow Wrath), the left arm will be replaced as a spear-like dragon arm to spawn Rachel's spears or her combined saber made out of her dual spears (Rachel Claws) and finally the right arm will be replaced as a sliver arm where a pair of wings will appears on either the combiner's right arm, Hyper Muteki's back, or both. the right arm utilizes Mitchell's multi-weapon guantlets as well (Mitchell Striker). There will be more to come with soon with Team STRM's combiner in the following series, so... enjoy the combination, dudes and dudettes.)

The five of us watch as the Nevermore is peppered with firepower.

Jaune: Uh... Shouldn't you be helping them?

Me: (the power-up I used deactivated and I shrank back to my original combinational size, twice taller than a regular adult) Yeah, I'm getting there, my friend. You all stay here. I shall support their fire.

Pyrrha: Be careful.

Nora: Take it down!! 

Me: I will, with them. Tenka, running head start towards the broken bridge and jump. Mitchell, Rachel, Ready our weapons!

Tenka, Rachel and Mitchell: Got it!

Soon, I started running faster and faster while my left hand and my right hand are equipped with Dragon's Judgement and Claw-Draco. Once we are close to the damaged area of the bridge, Tenka, controlling my legs now, did a huge leap towards the Grimm. After jumping, we manage to grab hold of the monster after a few seconds of being in the air, riding it while leading it to Yang.

At Yang's side, she is still burning through her ammo on the beast, landing a blow at its face and causing it to head right towards her, but she leaps for its open maw and forces the beak wide as she attacks.

Yang: (screaming and firing a round with each syllable) I! Hope! You're! Hung-! ... -gry!

Me: Yang! Look out! Behind you!

She looks behind her and jumps back from its mouth onto a ruin, while I told Tenka to jump again and we safely landed onto the center of the bridge ruins, watching the creature crash into the cliffs.

Despite Yang's attempts, the Nevermore recovers quickly, and Yang smiles as she spots Ruby and Blake on the broken columns and Weiss rushing to the battle. Yang passes her while the Nevermore starts to fly back up, but Weiss hopped over to the ruin it's lifting off of and freeze the tip of its feathery tail to the ground, leaving it stuck in the same spot despite its efforts flapping. Weiss back-flips into a snowflake-circle, jumping and lands on the other side, running to the group.

Me: That won't be good enough. But, let's change that. Tenka, run and jump towards the Grimm. Rachel, thrust Dragon's Judgement at the Grimm. I will be using my semblance to hold him down. Mitchell, you know what to do?

Rachel, Mitchell and Tenka: Of course, Doctor!

Me: Okay! Let's make this new move count!

We, in combined form, charged forward and jumps up five feet off the ground, thrusting Dragon's Judgement into Grimm, freezing the Grimm's chest, forcing it to struggle more, true fact is that it will be staying there for quite some time. I did a back-flip and ranback beside the group.

Blake fires the pistol portion of Gambol Shroud over to Yang, and the two tighten it between the columns so Ruby can jump on the center with Crescent Rose and bend it back into Weiss' black sigil, right next to the caster.

Weiss: Of course you would come up with this idea.

Ruby: Think you can make the shot?

Weiss: (confident) Hmm! Can I!

Some second passes later, ...

Ruby: Can't?

Weiss: Of course I can!

Ruby: (looks at me) Shadow? Do you have anything to help me out with this?

Me: I will see what I can do. Mitchell, Rachel, Tenka, we are going to try something extremely BIG.

Tenka, Mitchell and Rachel: Alright!

Ruby looks forward and pumps Crescent Rose as Weiss turns the circle from black to red and releases Ruby at such a speed that the ground behind launch cracks, rose petals flying from her ascent. I used some of my aura to melt the ice, in a slow rate of time while jumping down from the edge of the ruins and unleashed Mitchell's silver wings, diving down and stops halfway, flying in between the ruins and the grounds of the ravine.

Me: Okay, let it SHINE!!!!!! (my ice glows icy blue, Dragon's Judgement starts to glow cyan blue, Claw-Draco glows silver and Tenka's armor parts on his legs glow blackish gold)

Me, Rachel, Mitchell and Tenka: STORM HYPER HAAAAAAAALOOOOO!!!!!

I then raise my left arm, which is the component of Rachel, pointing Dragon's Judgement in the air till four of our emblems form a huge Halo, readying to attack.

Back at Ruby, with each new shot, she gets closer and closer to the trapped Grimm until her scythe catches the Nevermore's neck in its blade and causes them both to fall to the cliff wall. Weiss raises her sword and creates a series of white circles up the wall, which Ruby dashes through by firing the entire way up.

Back at my side, as I sensed Ruby on the side of the wall, about to move up, I slashed Dragon's Judgement, causing the huge halo to spin even faster, moving forward and turns up to Ruby's location.

Yang, Blake and an exhausted Weiss watch Ruby climb up with the bird in her grasp while a huge circle follows up to her and combines with Ruby's scythe until, both warrior and monster crying out, she reaches the top of the cliff, circles up, fires one last shot, rendering the Nevermore's head from its shoulders in a shower of petals.

(A/N: Musice ends here)

She lands beside the severed head as the body of the giant Nevermore falls lifeless to the ruins and crevice below while the girls and, farther away, Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren watch in amazement.

Jaune: Wow...

I flew back up and landed back onto the ruins, turning back into four components so as to see Rachel, Tenka and Mitchell behind me. Once that is settled, Tenka, Mitchell, Rachel and I looked up at Ruby. Ruby, her cape and petals flowing with the wind, looks down to her friends as they peer up.

Yang: Well... That was a thing!

----TIMESKIP----

3rd person's POV:

Ozpin: Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark (the screen of the auditorium shows each of their profiles as the boys are lined up for the applauding audience to see Ozpin continues) The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by...Cardin Winchester!

The audience gives one more wave of ovation, while four students walkup to the stage to take their places in front of the headmaster as their faces fill the screen.

Ozpin: Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR.

Amid the clapping, Nora laughs and gives Ren a hug.

Ozpin: Led by... Jaune Arc!

Jaune: Hud? L-Led by...?

Ozpin: Congratulations, young man.

A grinning Pyrrha offers a friendly shoulder bump to Jaune, but her "fine leader" is knocked over and falls to his butt in front of the laughing audience.

Ozpin: Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao Long. (motions over the four as they stand before him) The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by... Ruby Rose!

Weiss looks to her right surprised, where Ruby is obviously in shock as Yang goes over to hug her sister.

Yang: I'm so proud of you!

Ozpin: And finally: May the four remaining students please come up the stage.

My POV:

Me, Rachel, Mitchell and Tenka walked up to the stage, quite nervously.

Ozpin: Despite it is not your mission to do so, you four have protected teams, JNPR and RWBY, with everything you had.

The screen then showed you and your group fighting. They even showed a footage of me and Mitchell protecting, well more like stalking for just a bit, Weiss and Ruby. Me and Tenka looked down sheepishly while Weiss and Ruby blushed in embarrassment. Nonetheless, everyone was amazed. Then, another footage popped up, showing Rachel and Mitchell helping Ren fight the King Taijitu. A last footage popped up, showing my team, in combined form, saving Jaune, Pyrrha and Nora by breaking their fall and supporting fire for team RWBY against the Nevermore.

Ozpin: Because of that, your team has been assigned to support both teams, RWBY and JNPR, whenever they need it. Shadow Wrath, Mitchell Striker, Rachel Claws, and Tenka Kaito, the four of you retrieved the black knight pieces, despite the support of fire of both teams, from this day forward, you will all be working together as Team STRM (Storm). Led by: Shadow Wrath!

My new teammate girl began to pile in on me, while Mitchell and Tenka gave each other a nod, as a sign of agreement.

Ozpin: (amid the last roundof cheers) It looks like things are shaping up to be an... interesting year.

---MEANWHILE---

At the same location and spot, further away from Beacon Academy...

???: So, you and your friends managed to take down... Count Salty? Hmph! Resistance is futile when I summon my best warriors.

He then summons two Bugster viruses and they knelt.
