Hey everyone! WELCOME to the Official FINAL, and yet the twenty-first episode of the FIFTH VOLUME of RWBY: (Genius Gamer Shadow) Ex-Aid Reader x Ruby Rose where we will be focusing on a really special game! So, to recap once again, I DO NOT OWN RWBY AND I DO NOT OWN KAMEN RIDER EX-AID!! RWBY is owned by RoosterTeeth and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is owned by Toei. So, now sit back, enjoy and LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!
3rd Person's POV:
It has been two days since the Battle for Wakanda against Thanos as everyone are resting in their own rooms with some of the riders keeping an eye out for them at each room. It has now since been an hour now as while everyone are currently resting, Shadow is in the living room with Qrow, Apollonir and Oscar aka, Ozpin as they are talking to the newcomers in which is about to end soon.
Shadow: Interesting backstories you all have. Interesting indeed.
Apollonir: Yes.
Ozpin: Lastly, you came from different futures, kingdoms and worlds to co-exist and help us in our quest, yes?
Kazuto: Yes. I'm Kazuto, Kazuto Usami.
Lunos (Human Form): Lunos Prime.
Shitsu: Shitsu Shinpi.
Richard: Richard Hyde.
Neji: Neji Machina.
Percival: Percival Nikos.
Qrow: Percival.... Nikos?!
Percival: Yeah. No one has ever told anyone about me due to the fact that I hold something powerful.
Ozpin: And what power would that be?
Percival: Toxicity.
Shadow: So, you can control any poison in your freewill?
Percival: Yeah.
Shadow: Polarity?
Percival: I... haven't mastered that yet....
Shadow: That's okay. Baby steps, Mr Nikos. Baby steps. In due time, you'll master that ability, my friend.
Percival: Okay. Thanks.
Shadow: Anyway, moving on.
Jackie: Jackie Takamin.
Dalthale: Dalthale Tilkarma.
Takeru: Takeru. My sister, Hikari.
Hikari: Hi.
Dylan: Dylan, Dylan the Hedgehog.
Hana: Hana Kadoya, nice to meet you.
Shadow: Nice to meet all of you in one place, and I wish to thank you for assisting us in our battle against Thanos in our first round.
Dalthale: It's nothing really.
Kazuto: Yeah. No biggie at all.
Shitsu, Richard & Neji: No problem.
Dylan: Wait, first round? When is the second?
Shadow: Well, Dylan to answer your question, after the defeat of Salem, then our final round shall commence.
Dylan: I see.
Hana: This is gonna be fun.
Takeru: Don't count on that when you die.....
Lunos: Then let's smash the heck out of him
Shadow: Anyway, you all show great skill and potential. And I see you all also have the potential to be Huntsmen and Huntresses, not just Riders and a Gauntlet wielder.
Hikari: Well, I never thought I can be one, myself.
Takeru: true.
Shadow: Well, now that you know.... from this day forth--
Shadow stopped halfway as he placed his hand on each of everyone's shoulders and head as he said to everyone;
Shadow: -- Kazuto, Lunos, Percival, Jackie, Dalthale, Takeru, Hikari, Dylan, Hana, Shitsu, Richard, Neji. You now are officially Huntsmen and Huntresses. Welcome aboard to our Team.
When the newcomers heard me say that, they looked at each other in shock that he has officially recruited them as Huntsmen and Huntresses. Then, Hana stood up as she said to him;
Hana: We won't let you down.
Shadow: And I know you all will not.
Shadow said as he turned to Qrow, Apollonir and Ozpin as he gave them a nod, telling them that they are not just cool, but they are Huntsman/Huntress-qualified.
Then, the view of Mistral reveals itself in its glory as someone or something is on the mountain tops, eyeing on Mistral. But, to what purpose does he have with Mistral as he looks at the view of Mistral.
???: So, the 'Genius Gamer Shadow' is at Mistral, eh? (Giggling) Well, Genius Gamer, prepare to face your defeat when I use my pets against you!!!
And with that, the mysterious person begane to laugh as his laughter began to shroud through the darkness as he began to formulate a plan to subdue Shadow.
Next Day,
My POV:
I entered Team RWBY's room as I noticed that they are out. I checked the on my teammates and as well, they are not in their room as well, to my confusion. Then, I went to find Qrow, Apollonir and Ozpin, findkng them outside talking about something important.
So, I decided to leave them alone for now till their done. I looked high and low for my teamates and my girlfriend's team as they are nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up, I spotted Jaune, Nora and Ren walking towards me. I ran to them as I asked about my Team and Ruby's team.
Me: Guy, I'm so glad you're here!
Jaune: What's wrong?
Me: Have you seen Team RWBY and my teammates?
Ren: I think they were out to get something from the mail from C.R. to what Nora and Jaune heard.
Me: C.R.?
Jaune: Yeah. They said something about a game being released to everyone for everyone of all ages to give it a shot.
I tilt my head for a bit as I squint my eyes.
Me: Really?
Nora: Yeah. And they seem to be engrossed with it.
Me: I see... Then I must see to my friends at C.R. at once.
----MEANWHILE----
At Seito University Hospital, at C.R.,
(A/N: Seito University Hospital.)
Hirro: That's what we want to know from you as well as we have no idea where that game come from.
Taiga: And furthermore, Dan Kuroto i--
Dan Kuroto: DAN KUROTO-DEUS!!!!!!!!
Taiga: ... Dan Kuroto-Deus is extremely over his top when that game is released...
Me (by via hologram): I see....
I said as I looked back at Jaune, Nora and Ren as they shrugged their shoulders, to me sighing in annoyance as I look back at the holographic screen.
Me (by via hologram): Well then, did you get the Game title of what they're hooked up on?
Kiriya: It's called, 'RWBY - Grimm Eclipse (VOLUME 2) Version Type: Grimm Colossium' to what I've been digging around to get the game's name.
Me (by via hologram): Okay. Go o-
Poppy: Poppy-Pipopapo Panic!!!
All: eh?!
Poppy: Most of everyone around the world are playing this mysterious game!! A-- eh? There is also an announcement, too.
Me (by via hologram): Put it on screen!
As told, Poppy had the announcement on screen as it shows the mysterious Game Creator of Grimm Eclipse Volume 2 about to say his speech.
Jaune: That's....
Ren: The game creator of the game?
Me (by via hologram): hmmm.....
Back at the house at Mistral,
Unknown Game Creator (by via telecast): Greetings, all of you. I am the Creator of this new game called, RWBY - Grimm Eclipse - Grimm Colossium, our second edition from the first edition of Grimm Eclipse, and I am humble to see the number of people playing this omnipotent and yet the most terrific game, ever.
Me: Omnipotent and yet the most terrific game, my ass.
Dan Kuroto (by via hologram): YOU SAID IT!!!!!
Me/Kiriya (by via hologram)/Poppy (by via hologram): SHUT UP, GOD!!/Be poppy-pipopapo quiet!!
Unknown Game Creator: My name is Tachibana Ryosuke and I shall be your host for today.
Me: Tachibana Ryosuke?
Dan Kuroto (by via hologram): Tachibana.... Ryosuke.... you little....
Tachibana: Now, I know this is so sudden as after all, Genm Corp. has be flurishing to the fullest with their astonishing games. So I thought, if they are so good at games, I should maybe make my own to entertain people of all ages alike.
Dan Kuroto (by via hologram): BULLSHIT!!!!!!
Hirro (by via hologram): Kuroto!
Dan Kuroto (by via hologram): DAN KUROTO-DEUS!!!!!
Kiriya (by via hologram): Whatever can you please ju--
I began to feel a little irritated of their arguments while we are in the middle of investigations and watching the telecast as I flip the telecast aside as I show my God Form's head as I silence them.
Me (Mixture of the Four Maidens and Summer's Voice): ENOUGH!!!
Hirro: (by via hologram): ...
Taiga: (by via hologram): ...
Kiriya: (by via hologram): ...
Dan Kuroto: (by via hologram): ...
Poppy: (by via hologram): ...
Nico (by via hologram): ...
Me (Mixture of the Four Maidens and Summer's Voice): If we want to know what his intention is in and out of his profile, we must be quiet to listen what he has to say, now IS IT?!?!?
All (by via hologram): ...... (nods)
Me (Mixture of the Four Maidens and Summer's Voice): Now, let's continue listening to the telecast, and listen to it, attentively, alright??
All (by via hologram): .... okay...
Me: Good. (Smiles)
I smiled as I slide the telecast back as I resume the telecast by pressing the resume/play button.
Tachibana: Grimm Colossium for this RWBY Eclipse Volume or edition is made for kids, teens, adults, Huntsmen and Huntresses alike to raise their own Creatures of Grimm, Alien/s, Huntsmen or Huntresses that they create in the game. They can even design an original Huntsmen, Huntress, Alien, Grimm, or simply pick one that has appeared around Remnant, News or Books, and modify them.
The telecast shows most of the character list of many Huntsmen, Huntresses, Grimm, Robots, and many more in each slot box for them to select their character.
Me: Interesting.....
Jaune: How can that be interesting, pre-tell?
Me: Whoever this Tachibana person is, he seem to know you guys, Pyrrha, Team RWBY, everyone in remnant, including Kieron and his group.
Ren: How do you--?
Dan Kuroto (by via hologram): Tachibana isn't just your "This" Tachibana person that you hear everyday....
Nora: Then,.... who is he to you???
Dan Kuroto (by via hologram): He and I... were business partners, once....
Me: Business partners?
Dan Kuroto (by via hologram): That's right. He and I were good friends and business partners as well. We plan and create games together. He and I are the ones who created the Proto Gashats! Until.....
Poppy/Hirro (by via hologram)/Me: Until???
Dan Kuroto (by via hologram): Our friendship ended when he planned to assasinate my father because of what he did.... I had to stop him,.... with the use of the Proto Gashats. He was suppose to be dead by then.... but I never knew that he could still be alive after I used all of the Proto Gashats to silence him!!
Hirro (by via hologram): So you're....
Me: You're the first subject to test out the Proto Gashats?
Dan Kuroto (by via hologram): That's right. I kept my status, my 'X' life Status a secret so that I can use the gashats against him.... but for me being evil and to my father being Kamen Rider Chronus obiviously made my original plan, BACKFIRED!!!!!
I said as I cancelled of the telecast as the remaining members of Team JNPR and I looked in shock.
Poppy (by via hologram): Backfired?!
Me: Guys enough!! If we are to know what Tachibana is up to, we need to buy the game itself and see for ourselves. As I have a plan.
I said that as I looked at the hologram, smiling while Jaune, Nora and Ren looked me and each other in confusion.
A few minutes later,
The four of us are now sitting on the seats that are stated at the usual spot at the living room as we sat there, waiting for the mail to come. We all sighed as it was taking some time now.
Jaune: How long????
Me: Just a little more, Jaune.
Nora: Aw come on, Shadow. It's been like... 20 minutes and we've been waiting so looooong.
Ren: Is it there a possible way to get it quickly, Shadow?
Me: Well,.... Speed-Dial and Speed-Mail are our only options so, let's just wai--
As if right on queue, there was a knock on the door as we all looked at the door with our eyes widened.
Mailman (outside the house): Is there a Shadow Wrath, here? I got a Mail from Gaming Industies.
Me: That's our mail.
I said as we stood up and made pur way towards the front door. Once we have reached the door, I opened it up, to see a mailman with a small package in hand as he gave it to me, and I acknowledged it.
Mailman: please sign your papers here, please.
Me: Okaaayyyyyyyyy....~ (signing my signiture down on the paperwork) and done.
Mailman: Thank you, sir. And enjoy your videogame.
Jaune then closed the door behind us as we all looked at the small package with wary looks. I looked at Jaune as we exchanged nods, then I looked at Nora and Ren as we exchanged nods as well. I then looked at the box as I took a deep breathe and opened it slowly, to reveal the exact game I ordered online.
Me: Welp, we got it. Four boxes for the each of us.
Jaune: Yeah.
Ren: I do recommend caution as I sense a strange aura in this game.
Me: I know, Ren. I can feel it. Team RWBY,.... my teammates, the people around this world, their auras.... all in this game... however somehow, your auras and mine aren't in it.
When Jaune, Nora and Ren heard this, they took a step back, except for me for I am observing while sensing the Disk boxes with my mind.
Jaune: Wait. You mean you got all this by.... sensing it?
Me: Correct.
Nora: Well, (Jaune and Ren looks at me) That's being a God in the nutshell.
Jaune: Ummm, well... (chuckles) yeah. I wonder what else a god can do?
Me: (while observing and sensing the boxes) Well, you can do a lot of things. Like, lifting things which almost weighs of that of a planet, shoot lasers from your eyes, mouth or hands, summon minions, and many more.
Jaune: wow.
Ren: To summarize that, being a god is a responsibility, yes?
Me: Correct.
I said as I finished sensing the boxes as I stood up, facing the members of JNPR.
Me: I got something from these boxes. Everyone is playing this game but, they haven't reached to Mistral Academy yet, whi--
Jaune: Which is basically one of their levels in the game?!
Me: ..... (points at Jaune) Yes!
Nora: So, what do we do then?
Me: We play the game.
JNR: What?!
Me: Think about it. If we know which we now knew that our friends are in danger, the priority now is to beat the players, to free their souls from inside the game itself.
Ren: Wait, you are saying the players' souls as in normal citizens of each kingdom are inside the game, playing and trapped inside?
Me: ... yeah.... I forgot to point that out.
Nora: Then, LET'S LAY WASTE TO THIS GAME!!!!
Me: But wait!!!
JNR: Huh?
Me: We need PCs to play this....
Many minutes later,
It has been minutes as Burgermon, the workers and co-workers of Genm Corp
and Tsukuru himself, the CEO of Genm Corp. set up several PCs and a set-up box for us as we are now finally ready to face the game head-on.
(A/N: PC (x4) and Set-Up Box.)
Before we started the game, I shook Tsukuru's hand in gratitude of helping us set up a small center for us to play the game.
Me: I thank you for assisting us in making a small gaming center for us fo use in the living room, Mr. CEO.
Tsukuru: Oh, don't you worry, Dr. Wrath. Anything to help patients.
Me: Indeed.
And with that, the workers of Genm Corp. left the house in a rush, knowing that Genm Corp. musn't be left unguarded. Then, the remainjng members of JNPR and I looked at the table occupied by PCs, wires, a set-up box and four CD Boxes as we looked and exchange nods at each other.
Me: Let's lay waste to this game with no continues!
Nora: YEAH!!!!!
Then, we went to the table as we settled down at the table as we load up the CDs into the PCs as we wait till the game is fully loaded.
3rd Person's POV:
After watching the game is 100% loaded up and the intro of the game has been introduced to us as a skid, we were then seeing face-to-PC, the opening Title of 'RWBY: Grimm Eclipse - Grimm Colossium' is shown in front of their screens in front of their eyes.
Jaune: So, what now?
Shadow: Now, let's customize a Character or Grimm.
As Shsdow said that, their customization began as each of them began to customize their own character.
A few minutes later,
It has now been a few minutes as they have finally accomplished in customizing their own character. Shadow nodded as he looked at his character to be a Winter and Summer-based kind of character with three horns. Shadow then got up from his booth as he began to walk around their booth around the table to see what they have made so far.
Shadow: Okay, Ren, what have you made so far?
Ren then turned his PC to where Shadow is as he looked at what character Ren has made.
Shadow: Whoa. Ninja Ren. Interesting. Like the gimmicks on the arms that are of Beowolf's bone-like structure for its arms.
Ren: It gives a sharpness effect for ninjas when it comes with armaments.
Shadow: Cool.
(A/N: Ren's Character. Add spikes on the character's arms. Let Ren's hairand eyes show a bitat his eye-level.)
Shadow then made his way to Nora as Nora took notice of this.
Shadow: So, Nora, whatcha got??? Whu!!
Shadow freaked out when he saw Nora's character to be some queen as there are lightning bolts surrounding her character as her character now holds a electrical hammer with an axe function, her character appeared to be a Castle Lost Smash with a dress coat covering her legs to give it the queen-like look with the gold details on it.
Nora: What do you think?!
Shadow: Lightning-gy awesome. Now I know why you call yourself queen of the castle time and time.
Nora: Yeah~!!
Shadow: Good job, Nora.
Ren: Nice touch.
Nora: Thanks, Ren.
(A/N: Nora's character. Add her hammer, lightning bolts surrounding her character and the dress-coat which covers the character's legs only. Do add some pink details on the character as you know Nora. She goes with pink at times.)
Shadow went to Jaune's side as he took a look at his character.
Shadow: Now let's see whatcha gooowwhoa.
Jaune: What do you think?
Shadow's eyes widened with shock as to see Jaune's character is some kind of warrior class kind of Huntsmen with two shields that has a sword function like his current weapon that he has now, and his character is fully armoured.
Shadow: Wow. Cool armour. And I like the shields with the sword gimmicks.
Jaune: Heheh... well what can I say...
Shadow & Jaune: The classics.
(A/N: Jaune's Character. Add Two Shields with Sword functions on his arms.)
Then, a moment of awkward silence kicked in for the four them as they began to laugh their heads off. After a minute of laughter, Shadow made his way back go his booth as they began to play the game as we were about to press the 'Start' button in the game.
Shadow: Ready?
Jaune: Three....
Nora: Two...
Ren: ... one...
And with that, the four of them pressed the 'Start' Button as their game has finally begun.
-Inside the Game-
My POV:
It has been two minutes as we are now being materialized inside the game as our own characters, to our shock. And what shocked us most is that we have been materialized in the ruins of Vale where the Battle for Beacon took place.
(A/N: Destruction state of Vale and the Fall of Beacon.)
Jaune: Whoa....
Ren: Vale?!
Nora: We are back here again?!
Me: Guys relax. It's only a game. We were just simply transported here from the real world, to the Game World itself. More or less to.... what happened to all of the players around the world when they play this....
We all then looked at our surroundings as the ruins of Vale looked so familiar to the one from reality. We kept on looking around until our sight-seeing tour was then put to a halt by an unearthly roar followed by another which sounded like a Beowolf.
Me: Let's go!!
JNR: Ready when you are!!
Then, the four of us rushed off to the source of the roars as it got closer and closer by the second. As we reached to the source, our eyes widened to see two players fighting with each other, gambling for their lives so that they can win this round.
One Player called, KingBeowolfStalker224 is of a Alpha Grimm Beowolf character with a White side of a King Taijitu for its lower body, a double wielded Death Stalker Pincer at the right arm and Death Stalker legs for the character's legs, along with the other Player called GrimmSlayer@255 is of a huge-sized Boarbatusk with a lot of bone-like spikes emerging from its back, with a huge horn at it's snout and its body is seemed to be armoured-platted with tonnes of bone stuctures on its skin with a shelled, scaly tail.
We watched the battle with shock as the two players fought for their lives, killing each other with their health bars getting lower from being at full health.
Me: The battle just started....
Jaune: Yeah....
Jaune and I implied as we suddenly heard the Game Creator's voice once again as he addresses the match, considering us to be the audience to the battle, for now.
Tachibana (Voice only): Welcome to Round 7 of RWBY: Grimm Eclipse - Grimm Colossium. Now, who will reign victorious to go forward to the quarter-final round of the Grimm Eclipse Tournament? Will it be the remodelled Grimm, Alpha Grimm Boarbatusk II? Or will it be the Arachnoid Reptilian Grimm, Alpha Beowolf Staljitu Grimm.
The four of us looked at each other as we looked back at the battle as we watched the battle rage on.
Jaune: We can't just let them fight like this.
Ren: We must stop this...
Nora: And now!
Me: No.
Jaune: What do you mean, no?
Me: When a game is on, no one, and I mean no one, disrupts it. Even if you did, you are just signing your own death wish to them and to the Game Creator aka, Tachibana.
Ren: So, what now?
Me: We wait... until the battle is over.... I'm afraid.
JNR: ooohh....
And with that, the four of us sat on the ground as we spectate the battle.
4 minutes later,
The four of us cringed as we looked at Boarbatusk II gets slammed in the face by Beowold Staljitu's claw-like double-wielded pincers as Nora yelled;
Nora: BOARBATUSK!!!! SMASH ITS STALKER'S LEGS IN!!!!!!!
Me: Whoa....
Another 4 minutes later,
The four of us started cheering for the Grimms as they fought until the last breathe.
Me: JEEZ! NOW I KNOW WHY THIS GAME IS ADDICTIVE!
Jaune: YEAH? WHY?
Me: Cause' it's EPIC AND AWESOME!!!!!! IT LETS YOU DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!!!
Jaune: I KNOW RIGHT?!
Nora: BEAT IT'S FACE IN, WOLF-LIKE SCORPION SNAKE!!!!!!
Another 4 minutes later,
The four of us cheered as Boarbatusk II is now defested by Alpha Beowolf Staljitu Grimm, to us, cheering for the palyer from inside the game as we have never seen an intensive bettle in our lives before.
As we still celebrated, the four of us stopped as to see GrimmSlayer@255's drops (Inventory) consisting of a Rhino horn, Boarbatusk's tusks and a Shelled, Scaly tail, to our shock. Then, we watched as the winning character took the deceased player's drops as he is about to do something with them.
Nora: What's he doing?
Me: I don't know... but I have a very bad feeling about this....
I implied to Nora as we watched on. Then, to our horror, we watched the Grimm as it now grew a pair of Boarbatusk's tusks on its free arm, a Rhino horn on its forehead to give it a demon-like look and grew more scales at the King Taijitu part of its body while developing shell-like armour to cover the Taijitu's body and head.
Ren: Uuuh, Shadow? Is this your bad feeling you are talking about?
Me: Definitely!!!
Tachibana (Voice only): Oh! And what's this? It looks like we have four competitors, willing to go face-to-face with the Grimm of that size which is twice their size. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is gping to be a tag-team battle with NinjaRen, QueenCastle, AuraEnhancer and Shadow264S.
I looked at Jaune as I asked;
Me: AuraEnhancer?
Jaune: Yeah.... I can't make up any awesome names....
Me: Well, it's ok. It's a start ya know.
Jaune: Heh. Yeah, a good start for a character name. So, question.... who is going to go first?
Jaune asked us as the Player towers above us. Just as I was about to answer Jaune, Nora ran past us as she wields her lightning hammer.
Nora: I'M FIRST TO BREAK ITS LEGS!!!!
Me: NORA, WAIT!!!
But, it was too late as Nora's character smashed the Grimm's head with her hammer, stunning it as it fell onto the ground. Then, she walked towards the Grimm as she broke one of its legs, earning a howl from the beowolf itself as the head of the Taijitu bit Nora's hammer as she was about to smash its other leg, to her shock as the snake head swung her around until it slammed her to the ground, causing her to lose a quarter of her health bar and for the Grimm to lose almost half of its health bar.
Me: Nora!!!
Jaune: Are you alright?!
Nora: Never felt better!!!
Me: Nora, catch!!!!
I said as I threw something to her, in which she caught it in time before the Grimm could clamp onto her arm and used it, to heal herself.
-RECOVERY-
Nora: Thanks for the save!
Me: Your welcome!!
We then felt a tremor as the Grimm is about to get up.
Me: NORA! SMASH!!!
Nora swung her hammer real fast as she jumped above the player aka, the Grimm as she gave it a huge whack on the head, causing it to be stunned while falling down to the ground once again.
Tachibana (Voice only): OOOOHHH!!!! And it would appear that QueenCastle has stunned KingBeowolfStalker224 once again with her trusty hammer! What will she do next!
Me: NORA, TAG IN!!!! JAUNE, YOU'RE UP!!
Nora then run towards me as Jaune was quite hesitant to face the Grimm twice his size, until I spoke to him.
Me: Jaune, remember your training, and remember what you did last time, you killed an Alpha Ursa Grimm and an Ursa Grimm for Oum's and for M's sake. If you can beat them, you can damage this one here. In the game. Treat this, as your mission.
Jaune: ... yeah... Yeah. I can do this!
Jaune looked at the Grimm and Nora running back towards us, as he took a deep breathe and dashed towards the Grimm while passing Nora. Then, Jaune took over Nora's place as he blocked the Player's charge with his two shields as he thrusted one shield into the ground, causing the player aka, the grimm to fly in the air, to our shock as it caused the player's health bar to deplete by a quarter.
Tachibana (Voice only): Ooooohh!!! And it would appear that AuraEnhancer has used his special move which only can be acquired after blocking the player's charging attack which is supposed to have led tonnes of damage to our players.
We all looked at Jaune with shocked faces.
Me: How the heck you do that?!?!
Jaune: I don't know. I just blocked it nd the next thing you know, a gold bar was going up rapidly as I blocked its charge.
Me: It must have been for a Special Move Charge for us to use when we inflict damage or we get inflicted by them.
Nora: Nice!!!!
Me: Ren?
Ren: (nods)
Ren nod at me as he was gone soon after, leaving Jaune, Nora and I behind, to our shock as his running speed is off the chain.
Then, we saw NinjaRen unsheathing his swords as he began to slice-n-dice the Player in pieces in every direction, so fast that the player and the three of us can't see his attack and him attacking the Grimm. After the flurry of slashes were inflicted to the Grimm, Ren soon landed before us as he sheathed back his swords, causing the Grimm to be eliminated, for us to grow a bit and Level up.
Tachibana (Voice only): And there you go, Alpha Beowolf Staljitu has been taken down, and our four players have leveled up! Congradulations, the four of you.
Me: Nicely done.
Jaune: Thanks. Thanks for the strategy.
Me: No problem. And bro! How powerful are your shields?!
Ren: According to your weapons, it's as strong as a Beringal Grimm.
Me & Nora: No way....
Jaune: I... happened to add some gimmicks into it so, yeah. Heheheh.
Me: Nice.... at least we did one thing.
JNR: Huh?
Me: We freed two players and there is more to free in this game.
Jaune: Really?
Ren: All for beating one Player?
Nora: Yeah?
Me: Yes. The other player that was defeated by the player we defeated is inside that player we've defeated. Basically the player that was already been defeated has been used as power within the Beowolf player.
Ren: Meaning that we have been fighting two players. One still at play and one that has been consumed.
Me: (smirks) precisely.
Jaune: I... I don't get all of this but, I'm kinda starting to like it.
Nora: Yeah.
As we began to adjust to the game, we were mysteriously been logged out from the game as we are back in the house, to our shock.
Jaune: Wh-what just happened?
Ren: I... I don't know... Shadow?
Me: It would appear that we've been logged out from the game.
Nora: How in the world does that happen?!
Me: I don't know. Fortunately we got some parts of the two Grimms that were defeated, and we even free them from their captivity of this game.
Jaune: Well, true.
Nora: So, what now?
I stood up, followed by Jaune, Nora and Ren doing so, too as I began to say the plan.
Me: Now,... we rest, and tomorrow,... let's save some more players and people.
Jaune, Nora and Ren looked at each other with worried looks in their faces. Knowing that I am correct and seeing that everyone was tired, they nod at each other in agreement that a good amount of rest is now imminent.
And with that, we lohhed out of the game as we decided to rest our eyes from the game we played as we went to our specific rooms to rest. In my room, I laid on my bed, thinking of ways on how to free everyone around the world who are in captive by the game.
So, I closed my eyes and pondered about how to free the other players who are trapped.
One week later,
It has been a week now that Jaune, Nora, Ren and I have been playing this game, travelling around Remnant inside the game itself, fighting characters and players to free them from their captivity, getting automatically logged out again for saving the players and upgrading our characters to boost their attack power, their health bar and their agility and defense.
Our rescue mission was going well, until the eighth day, something happened. I woke up, eager to rescue more players who are in captivity in Grimm Colossium Game with Jaune, Nora and Ren but, when I went to the living room to look for them, they weren't around, and to make things worse, their individual PCs are gone as well, to my shock.
I then quickly rushed to every room, to see that their weapons and things are still there. But, every room I went into, there is nothing but bags, duffle bags and weapons on the ground and tables. I began to grow worried about where they went until my PC turned itself on. I looked back at my PC to see Tachibana's face at the screen as he formally greeted me.
Tachibana (by via PC): Are you Shadow Wrath?
Me: ... yes and, how do you know my name?
Tachibana (by via PC): Oh, I know you, and your small group. I'm a fan of you, 'Genius Gamer Shadow'.
My eyes widened and I was taken aback to what he called me by my nickname as I have no idea how he knows me.
Me: How do you know my title?
Tachibana (by via PC): Oh, I know a lot of things. Meet me at the main doors of Haven Academy, 1pm sharp. I'll meet you there. There will be an aieship waiting for you.
Me: why you- and, where have you taken everyone?!
Tachibana (by via PC): Oh you'll see when we meet.
Me: What do you mea-
Just as I was about to continue talking, the PC turned off itself as he is done talking. I sighed roughly as this kidnapping is getting on my nerves and I knew enough is enough.
So, I looked at my watch as I see that it is 9:30am in the morning now and I am very very early. I sighed as I walked downstairs to begin my training before I meet him at 1pm at Haven Academy.
Just as I was about to begin my training, someone outside the training room called out to me.
???: Shadow?
I looked back to see Qrow, Oscar/Ozpin, Apollonir, Haruto, Eiji, Ankh, Sougo, Emu, Graphite and Pallad watching me train as I am glad to see that they are all not trapped.
Me: You guys!
I yelled as I ran to my dad, hugging him.
Qrow: We thought you got trapped as well.
Me: Same... boy I'm glad you're still here....
Apollonir: Are you okay?
Me: Well, yeah.... I guess.
Anhk: You little fool.... although you've known that already but, there is something wrong with the game.
Me: I've noticed.... the creator of the game wanted to speak with me.... personally.
When I said that, everyone's eyes widened when I said that the game creator wanted to speak with me.
Ozpin: What did he say?
Me: He wants to have a small chat with me. He has sent an airship to pic me up at 1pm. He says to come alone.
Haruto: Whatever he's thinking, he needs to think twice on facing you.
Graphite: You're Genius Gamer Shadow, after all.
Me: Yeah about that. He knows that.
All: What?!
Apollonir: How does he know, when he hasn't met you yet?!
Me: That is what I was gonna find out myself. How???
Eiji: But then, you'll risk falling to his or he--
Me: his.
Eiji: His trap.
Me: Don't worry. I have an idea since you're here.
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other as they have puzzled looks, wondering what idea I have in mind. They then looked back to face me as they questioned;
Qrow: So..... what idea do you have in mind?
Haruto: What plan do you have to resolve this.
Me: Well, gather your ears and I will tell you.
A few hours later,
At 1pm,
At the training room,
(A/N: Music Starts here.)
I still kept on training, awaiting for Tachibana's airship to arrive at this training room's doorstep when the adults began to speak at my hidden earpiece on my right ear as our plan has begun.
Qrow (by via earpiece): This plan better work, Icepop.
Me: Don't worry, Dusty Ol' Crow. It will. It has to.
Eiji (by via earpiece): Once the airship picks you up, let us know and we will begin to navigate you.
Me: Alright.
Pallad (by via earpiece): And Shadow, don't die. I'm having a feeling that chances of you surviving this while rescuing the people around Remnant are going to be very slim.
Me: I know. It's gonna be a bumpy ride, after all.
3rd Person's POV:
It has been a few minutes and it was also Ten past 1pm as Shadow kept on training, awaiting for the Airship's arrival. Just as Shadow was going to do his final slash, he soon stopped halfway when he hears whirring and beeping sounds.
Then, he placed Parablade behind his back as he looked outside, watching the Mistral Airship land outside of the house and in front of him, to Shadow smirking. After the ship landed, it then opened its doors to reveal no one inside the ship as it is controlled from somewhere.
(A/N: Mistralian Airship.)
Shadow from where he was tried to find where the person is in the ship, but to no avail as no one is there. Then, a voice of Tachibana sounded off, urging him to get in.
Tachibana (Voice Only): Get in, Shadow Wrath,.... or rather, Genius Gamer Shadow.
Shadow smirked as he smart-mouthed him a bit.
Shadow: You're late! I was thinking of leaving already when you never show.
Shadow then entered the ship as he whispered through the earpiece.
Shadow: (Whispering) I'm in.
Graphite (by via earpiece): Copy. We see you on the monitor now on the airship.
Apollonir (by via earpiece): Son, remember... be stealthy.
Shadow: (Whispering) I know, dad.
Several minutes later,
The airship soon flew past the ruins of the city of Vale and Beacon with Grimm still roaming freely around the deserted kingdom which is now turned to ruins, as Shadow hung his head downcast, knowing what has happened to this Kingdom however, he also sense a immense amount of power somewhere in Beacon.
(A/N: Fall of beacon.)
Amber (In my mind): We're coming back for the relic soon, are we, Shadow?
Shadow: (Whispers) We will, Amber. Soon. And yes, we will eventually....
Shadow said to Amber reassuring that the Fall Maiden Relic will be reclaimed soon, but when is yet to be seen and heard from him. Then, the airship flew further away from Vale and now flying towards Seito University Hospital, to Shadow's confusion.
It has now been a few minutes as Shafow sighed in relief, glad that the journey is finally over as they finally landed, leaving Shadow to alight the airship to face a building which says 'Kid's Community' above the front glass doors.
My POV:
I look at the title as I tilt my head in confusion to see that I'm brought here to be a babysitter or something else.
(A/N: Kid's Community Building.)
Me: Kid's Community???? (Whispers though earpiece) Kid's Community, anyone know of this building???
Apollonir (by via earpiece): We are searching for the building in our scanners, son.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Haruto (by via earpiece): There are no searches.
Pallad (by via earpiece): Looks like this building is merely a husk of something.
Me: (Whispers) Well, whatever it is, I'm gonna find out. I'm tapping out for now.
Ozpin (by via earpiece): Okay, be careful, Dr. Wrath.
Me: (Whispers) I know.
I said as I placed my earpiece inside my pocket and made my way inside the building. As I entered the building, I noticed that the building is empty, like it no one has even stepped foot on this building since ages as I walked on.
Then, I heard something as I swiftly turned to my right, only to see an escalator going up for me to get on to be on my way up to Tachibana. I sighed in relief as I took the escalator up, awaiting for a new path for me to reach to the creator's office.
As I reached the end of the escalator, I noticed an elevator being left opened as I shook my head and walked into the elevator, only for it to close its doors behind me after I entered it, as it now made its way up to the main office floor.
----MEANWHILE----
In an unknown room somewhere in the building,
3rd Person's POV:
A huge screen turns on to show Tachibana's face on screen as he addresses his speech.
Tachibana (by via screen): Hello, one and all, to those who have made it to the Finals, welcome, to the Ultimate Colossium. Terrain Type, Seito Nation of Remnant. Today, it's time for the lucky few of you to display your skills against each other and against your Ultimate Enemy to recieve the Ultimate Prize.
He said as his eyes glowed red and yellow. Then, in the dark room, 20 pairs of red and yellow eyes emit from the darkness as they initiated the game as they are now about to rampage the nation with their characters.
----MEANWHILE----
A few minutes later,
My POV:
(A/N: Music stops here.)
I finally arrived at the top of the building as I opened the last door, leading towards the office. As I entered the office, I soon saw Tachibana sitting on his office chair as he now stares face-to-face with me.
Tachibana: I've been waiting for you. And it is high time that we've met, Genius Gamer Shadow.
Me: Yes, it is about time we meet in person. As after all, we were about to meet at some point in time.
Tachibana: Yes. Now please, take a seat. You must be exhausted from the journey.
I looked at the seat as I took it, and plainly sat on the seat he's offered me to sit as we began to talk.
Me: So, start talking. Why start a game like this involving kids, teens, hunters and adults?
Tachibana: Good question.
Me: Eh?
Tachibana: The question. Why?
Me: Well, yeah. I just asked that so, why?
Tachibana: Because Games need and are evolving.
When I heard his reason why, this made me look confuse as he is giving me a excusable and an inexcusable reason why he did this to the people around the world. Then, he spoke again.
Tachibana: Think about it. Handball games, football games, technological games, atheletic games, and many others games around Remnant! All evolving into a perfect game of all times which has brought people together, it has brought people's team spirits up and it makes it fun for players or atheletes to play these games. Now would you agree so, Genius Gamer Shadow?
Me: Well,.... you're correct on that. That's how the Olympics and the Vytal Festivals were created. It went back in Olympus times and the Vytal time which were the old days. Then, it evolved slowly...
Tachibana: Correct you are, my boy.
Me: So, where are you going with this???
Tachibana: Well, to answer your question, I want to make a game I have made into a very epic game, a game that you know... people, children and hunters alike, their imagination goes wild to bring purpose of their creation. That is why I held the Grimm Tournament. But.... I can't figure out how to make it even more better. But now that you're here.....
He said as he stood up to face me.
Tachibana: We can do it, together.
Me: Together?
Tachibana: Together!!!!
He said as he went to my side as he had his arm wrapped around my shoulders, to my shock and confusion as I looked at him.
Tachibana: I have been admiring your work for years now, my friend! (Holding my collar of my shirt as he shook me violently) Creating a NEXUS Game out of NEXUS Energy?! Are you kidding me?! (Lets go) We will be unstoppable.
He said as he released his grip as I looked him more when my earpiece rattled my ear as I reactivated it.
Tachibana: Man like you, man like me, we--
Me (Whispering): What is it?
Pallad (by via earpiece): Shadow, get out of there, the Tachibana you are speaking with, is not human, it's a hologram!
When I heard the news, my eyes widened while looking at Tachibana as he continued speaking.
Me: (Whispering) What do we have on him?
I quietly asked as I watched him speak as his back is facing me still.
Graphite (by via earpiece): He appears to be some kind of alien and.... Bugster.
Me: (Whispering) I see... well now. I shall see to the matter. Thanks guys.
I said as I quietly deactivated my earpiece as I listened to Tachibana once again.
Tachibana: -- we will be Mighty, we will be coated with tremendous power, we can control the world and the GAMING UNIVERSE!!!!
Me: Well, I see your resolve there, Tachibana. I really do. You really want to make a worlda better place for people of all ages. I'm impressed. But now, can I ask a question?
Tachibana: oh please do.
He says as he turned around, only to have my Parablade facing his face as I smirked evilly.
Me: Who . Are . You?
I said as I pointed Parablade at Tachibana. Tachibana was about to talk but I instantly cut him off saying;
Me: Cut the explanations. I know what you are. You are not human. You are something else from that and also, a Bugster. So, who are you?
I said as I gave him a smirk, earning him to laugh his lungs out, to my confusion. Then, as he stopped laughing, he used his two fingers to lower my weapon as he transformed into something in front of my eyes.
Tachibana: (Giggling) Well observed, Shadow. Well observed.
As his transformation was complete, he revealed himself to be an Alien and a Bugster at the same time as i raised Parablade at him again as we knew what is going on now.
(A/N: This is Tachibana's Original Form. Ignore the background.)
(A/N: Music starts here.)
Me: I knew it.... we also knew it. Now, who are you?!
Tachibana (Demonic Voice): I am Cheinian - Complete Form. The Bugster Virus inside of me is of the Blood of Gemdeus that you destroyed many years ago.
Me: So,.... that means you're...
Cheinian (Demonic Voice): That's right. I am formerly Gemdeus. But now, youcallme, Gemdues Cheinian.
He said as wings, arms and some details of Gemdeus (A/N: Not Gemdeus Machina) appeared on Gemdeus Cheinian's body as he laughed in front of me.
(A/N: This is what Gemdeus Cheinian looks like when you fuse the two pics together.)
Me: What's your game?
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): Game? Easy? Since I can't go to my Monster Ultimate form like last time, I thiught that maybe people can do it for themselves for me. For my players which are well-made Hunters and Grimm will fight you. And you fight them. Who will win will be decided on how powerful you are.
Me: Okay....??? So, what are the rules???
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): Simply put. Beat my players and the players that are trapped inside the other players and the game will be freed from my grasp. But, if you lose, everyone will be trapped in the game.
Me: If I beat the last boss, all the players will be freed, right?
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): Well.... (grabs rule book as he looks at the rules. Then, he looks at me while nodding) yeah.
Me: Okay. Then I accept your rules. Then you, must accept my rules as well.
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): Don't you worry about me breaking any rules. I always play along with the rules that are established. So, name your rules.
Me: Very well. One: No cheating.
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): Done!
Me: Two: No minions to aide the created beings until the final boss. It means that I fight your creations made by the players one-on-one, or by any number varies.
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): Done!
Me: Finally: Play fair. Which means you will have to turn up for the Final Boss Battle to face me.
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): hmmm..... Hey!!! Those are four things!
Me: The last was a Two-Parter.
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): Oh. Very well. Then, I ACCEPT YOUR RULES, THEN!!!
Me: Very well then. So, who is my opponent?
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): Not one, Shadow. Fourty of them consisting of powers and components of other players who are defeated.
Me: What?!
I questioned with a shocked face as a tremor trembled the ground. Then, Gemdeus Cheinian turned to look out at the window as he gestured his hand to me to come to the window, in which I did to take a look.
Then, my eyes widened to see Fourty Game Characters emerged from the ground as they began to rampage all except one who is just standing there, to my confusion.
Me: Uuuuhh, this character i--
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): Wait for it.
Me: ???
I looked at the Game Creator as a green light engulfed the area that the character is standing at as my eyes widened to see him in a fusion kind of form made of three creatures.
(A/N: Fusion Alien of Four Arms, Rath and Diamondhead.)
I watched on as it began to rampage around the area as it displayed its powers, to my shock.
Me: Whoa.
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): Interesting, isn't it. That is Kieron Tennyson aka, Kieron Prime.
Me: I see...
Gemdeus Cheinian (Demonic Voice): So, what do youthink of your opponents? Now they seem powerful enough to take you down, now aren't they? So, hurry on, now. We wouldn't want our competitors to wait for you now, do you?
Me: Damn you....
I firmly and sternly looked at Gemdeus Cheinian as I commented on my enemy's handiwork. Then, I took off back down as I prepared myself to fight. As I made my way down, Summer spoke with me, worried of the outcome that I might face.
Summer (in my mind): Shadow, if you lose this battle, then... you'll--
Me: Summer, I'll be fine. If it's a game of death he wants, then he'll get a Grimm-"Aced" game that he will bare witness to, to conclude the outcome on who shall be victorious.
Summer (in my mind): ... Okay then. If we go down, then it has been an honour fighting along side you, all of us....
Me: Likewise.
I said as I head to the escalator which led me up to the elevator as I made my way down to the lobby, about to commence the deadly game of death and wits. However, what I didn't know was that there is someone watching me from behind as he wields something on his right hand, gripping it tightly knowing that he is about to experience the same thing he did once.
(A/N: Music ends here.)
(A/N: This is the something he has in his right hand.)
