Ryu eyes opened as he realized he was in a familiar barren land.

Ryu: The Land of Darkness? A-Am I back in my Dimension?

He was looking around as he saw large Grimm forming out of pools. Beowolves, Mutated Opals, Colossus's also as they all went towards him. That's when he also saw Faunus in mask run towards him as well with weapons.

Ryu: A fight Huh? Bring it on you weak shits.

Ryu clenched his fist before holding it out waiting for something to happen.

Ryu: What the? HRAAGH!!

He kept trying to shoot flames, wind, anything he could have in his arsenal.

Ryu: My powers aren't working? Shit, bare knuckle brawling it is.

He stood his ground as the Grimm ran forward but PAST him.

Ryu: The hell?

???: RYU!!!

He turned around and saw a girl not dissimilar to himself.

Ryu: AMBER!!

AMBER KAIZEN!!

Amber: HELP ME!!! PLEASE RYU, HELP!!!

Ryu: HANG ON, I'M ON MY WAY!!!!

Ryu tried running forward but Grimm piled over him holding his limbs down.

Ryu: DAMNIT!!! GET THE FUCK OFF ME!!!!

Usually he'd be able to blow Grimm off himself easily but for some reason he couldn't then. That's when a White Fang goon grabbed him by the head making him look at Amber as Grimm slowly began to devour her.

Amber: ARGHHHHHH!!!!!

Ryu: NO!!!!!!

Ryu cried as he could only look in horror at the nightmare as blood splashed onto his face. He shot up from his bed with a scream as he was sweating. He saw it was night and found it hard to breathe.

Shojo: Ryu, it was just a dream! It's gonna be ok!

Immediately Leone burst into the room.

Leone: Ryu, what's wrong?!!

He turned facing Leone with tears streaming down his face as he had a scared look. He hyperventilated unable to calm himself down. Leone was shocked seeing this as it was the first time she had seen Ryu with an emotion that had any kind of fear in it as she ran over to him and held him close bringing his head to her chest. There was a long moment of silence before Leone spoke.

Leone: Can you tell me what happened?

Ryu: ...It was one of my... worse nightmares...

Ryu's voice seemed filled with regret and sadness.

Ryu: My twin sister... I thought she died when we were twelve, but I found out that she was still alive after 5 years... Then when she was finally waking up she was really killed... Just when I thought that I thought I could finally forget the pain I saw her die over and over again in that one nightmare...

Ryu shut his eyes tightly.

Ryu: It's like before, I couldn't do anything, I was helpless... I lost all the strength I was so proud of and watched her die again... I wasn't able to save her in that attack when we were kids cause I froze... Years later, when I thought that there wasn't anything that couldn't do, when I even let the chance of her and my friend loosing everything to save the world, an arrow pierced her heart and I couldn't stop it...

More tears streamed down his face as his eyes gained a darkened look.

Ryu: I worked harder than I ever thought I could and it still didn't save the people I cared about the most... In the end I'm still just that weak little kid...

Leone held him by the face looking him in the eyes.

Leone: You aren't weak Ryu. You just spilled your heart out about your past trauma to someone. It's easy to just hide it, but telling it to someone is different. You're strong. Both in your body and your heart too.

She gave him a warm hug smiling.

Leone: I promise not to tell anyone. Just let it out.

Ryu softly sobbed hugging Leone back. A few minutes had passed before Ryu was finally asleep.

Leone: 'It's weird, he's barely 3 years younger than me... but I think I'm starting to have feelings for him.'

Shojo: You wouldn't be the first.

Leone: Shojo?

Shojo: Yup.

Leone: What do you mean?

Shojo: I mean that in all of his lives Ryu hasn't only had a single girl fall for him.

Leone: Wait, d-does he-

Shojo: Have a girlfriend? Technically, but it's complicated. For now get rest.

Leone: Hey, wait!

Shojo: Too late fading into his mind.

Leone looked back at Ryu before smiling and planting a kiss on his forehead before falling asleep as well.

TIME SKIP!!

Leone Tatsumi and Ryu were on the top of a building in the Capitals Red Light District.

Ryu: This is the place huh?

Tatsumi: Not gonna lie, I feel kinda nervous.

Leone: Awww no need to be bashful Tatsumi! Anyway, that money ain't gonna make itself so it's time to get cooking.

Ryu: Yup. By the way Leone, thanks for last night.

Leone: Aw it was no biggie. Lionel Transform!!

Leone began to transform into her beast form.

Leone: When I get into beast mode I feel like I can take on the whole world!!

Ryu: Well, I guess it's be smart for me to transform too.

Ryu cracked his knuckles as he entered Wolf Emperor mode.

Ryu: Welp, time to pay some bills.

Tatsumi grabbed Ryu and Leone by the collars jumping off like a mad man. In just a few more bounds they were inside the Japanese mansion.

Leone: Phew! Looks like we made it.

Tatsumi: But I thought we were gonna sneak in...

Ryu: Did you once hear the sounds of my leaps?

Tatsumi was about to answer but realized he didn't make a sound while jumping.

Tatsumi: ... Ok when and how?

Ryu: Oh just a trick I picked up.

Leone opened a roof tile revealing a room full of ladies engaging smoke and seeming slightly tipsy.

Leone: Look at this.

Tatsumi covered his mouth afraid to sniff the smoke.

Ryu: ... So they're high?

He sniffed the air and immediately felt nauseous.

Ryu: URP. Nope, smells like a school of fucking finish in here.

Two men came in as Ryu seemed to mostly block out the sound in order to rid them smell of his nose. What he did notice though is that one man punched a girl which angered the three but mostly Leone.

Tatsumi: This is even more sick than the client said it was. Those bastards...

Leone: That girl he was just hitting... She was a friend of mine from back home. Now I'm pissed, let's just slaughter these pukes and be done with it!

Tatsumi: Roger that.

Ryu: Yeah even I have to draw the line at hitting defenseless women. Let's do this.

He walked through for a hove hearing the room where the most people were in before crashing through the ceiling onto the ground. Just for extra insurance Ryu had put his bandana over his face to hide it.

Ryu/Tatsumi/Leone: We're here to send every one of you straight to hell!

White Suit: Grrr, get those punks!! Bring me their heads!!

A bunch of armed men in suits charged them as Ryu smirked. He snapped his fingers as blades of fire cut a few into pieces as Tatsumi did the same with his own sword. Leone lit her fist on fire and began beating down every goon that she saw. Ryu went in front of the man with the white suit grabbing his head and crushing it with his bare hands. He looked to the man in the pink suit and an eyepatch with an evil grin. Though Leone got to him first grabbing him by the neck.

Pink: Please take whatever you want!! You want money?! You want drugs?!

Ryu: Ah ah, there might be kids reading this story big man. *Looks to the side* Readers, learn from this guys -who's about to be dead- mistakes. Never do drugs, and don't make smoking a habit.

Tatsumi: Huh?

Leone: Anything huh? Thanks but the only thing I want from you is your life.

Pink: Who are you people?!!

Leone smirked bringing back her other fist setting it ablaze.

Leone: Oh we're just bitches!!

He punched him causing a shockwave to go from behind him.

Leone: I mean honestly, who better than a couple of bitches to take you out?

Tatsumi: Uhh, could you come up with something else to call us please?

Ryu chopped Leone on the top of the head.

Ryu: You and Tatsumi are the closest things to bitches living in this room right now. I'm the badass. You confuse the two again, and Imma break your legs.

TIME SKIP!!

Ryu Tatsumi and Leone were waking through the streets.

Tatsumi: So, what's gonna happen to all those girls?

Ryu: Who knows? I can heal but I'm pretty sure their shit was too far lost.

Leone: And that's not really our call.

Tatsumi: Yeah I know but still.

Ryu: *Sigh* For once I know what you mean. Even I can't just be unaffected by girls being used and abused like that.

Leone: There's a retired doctor that lives around here so I'll let him know what happened. He was always fond of pretty girls so everyone wins, know what I'm saying?

Tatsumi: That's great.

Ryu: I guess. Looks like even you have soft side for people. Old friends still count. This isn't the first time I've seen people lose their minds from addictions. Helping them start over is what matters.

Tatsumi: ...You're actually being nice?

Ryu: Don't let that slip out got it?

Tatsumi: GOT IT!

Ryu put his hands behind his head looking up.

Leone: Ryu. I wanted to say something.

Ryu: You already are but go ahead.

She spoke close into his ear.

Leone: When you aren't being a jackass, you're really sweet.

Ryu knowing exactly what was coming next vanished and was in a tree.

Ryu: NO! I know exactly where this is leading!! You think I haven't dealt with someone who "Marks their territory" before Tits McGee?!!

Leone giggled as she seemed to sparkle.

Leone: Hehehe! Before you go back to remnant you're gonna be mine at least once baby!

Tatsumi: ... The hell?

Leone: Well, anyway, I wonder how the other group is doing right now.

Right at the mention Ryu's eyes went slitted unknown to him.

Tatsumi: Uhhh, Ryu, your eyes are slitted.

Ryu: ... Did you just say slitted?

Leone: Uhhh, actually they are.

His eyes went wide hearing the confirmation.

Ryu: WE'VE GOTTA GO!!

He turned running to where he felt the presences of Mine and Sheele.

Leone: Wait what's going on?!

Ryu: If my eyes went slitted then that means Mine and Sheele are gonna be in trouble!! Now hurry up!!

They followed him as the trip ran to Mine and Sheele.

ELSEWHERE

Sheele and Mine were fighting a ginger who's arms were cut off but one was a gun but also had an organic Imperial Arms she called Koro.

SERYU "FUCKING CRAZY" UBIQUITOUS!!

Sheele waisted no time in cutting off the gun arm of Seryu and the other one just for good measure.

Seryu: 'If I do this Koro will overheat and won't be able to move for a while. Screw it!' KORO, USE YOUR TRUMP CARD!!! GO BERSERK!!!

He giant white dog seemed to go entirely red as it's teeth sharpened while it also gained muscle as it roared making Mine and Sheele cover their ears.

Mine: 'It's got a Trump Card?'

It grabbed Mine as she screamed.

Mine: SHEELE!!

Sheele: HOLD ON!!!

Seryu: GOOD BOY, NOW SQUEEZE!!!!!!!!

It began to squeeze Mine as her arm seemed to crack making her scream.

Mine: ARGHHH!!!!

That's when Sheele slashed it's arm off with Extase.

Mine: Y-You did it.

Sheele: That was a close one.

She felt herself getting shot through the back as it was revealed to be Seryu who had a gun coming out her mouth.

Sheele: 'What's happening? I can't move.'

Koro was behind her with its mouth open ready to bite Sheele in half. But before that could happen, it's head seemed to be blown right off along with it's upper body, minus one of it's teeth that did manage to pierce Sheele's leg making her wince in pain.

Seryu: WHAT?!!!

The cause of this was Ryu, but he was wearing a mask.

Sheele: R-yu? Is it you?

He covered her mouth bringing her over her shoulder.

Ryu: No time to talk, the army's coming here and I won't be able to fight worrying about you idiots. As for you, YOU'RE A FUCKING PSYCHO!!! WHO PUTS LITERAL WEAPONS IN THEIR BODIES?!!

He caught the fist of Kuro before blowing off it's head once again. That's when the guard's arrived.

Ryu: Ah shit a regenerator. Sheele, you mind?!

Sheele grabbed Extase before a bright light shone.

Ryu: MINE GRAB YOUR SHIT SO I CAN GRAB YOU!!!

Mine grabbed Pumpkin and her briefcase with the parts before Ryu grabbed her flying away with the two of them.

Ryu: UGHHH I hate running even when it's the best option!! You two need to be more careful next time!

Mine: How did you know we were in trouble?

Ryu: My instincts now shut up!!

Mid air they met up with Tatsumi and Leone, that later of which was flying the two with flames. Not nearly as affective as Ryu's but flight nonetheless.

Leone: You guys are ok!!

Ryu: Less talking more running!!

Ryu created a clone of himself out of flames and grabbed the two flying them fast to the hideout.

Ryu: *Sigh* I hate exerting myself this much outside of a good fight.

He looked at Sheele who seemed to be in pain.

Ryu: How's your leg doing?

Sheele: Oh, you know, in pain. It's way better than being dead though.

Ryu: Hold on, roll over for a sec.

She didn't question him and did so as he inspected the wound.

Ryu: *Sigh* More than just an average puncture. Both of your Achilles are ruined pretty badly. And it's liable to catch infections. Gonna have to cut your legs off.

Leone: ... Eh?

Ryu: Gotta do it fast.

Sheele: N-Now Ryu, let's just talk about this.

Ryu: Ah don't worry I can help regrow limbs.

Mine: Hold on you what?

He grabbed Extase as Sheele closer her eyes.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Sheele: SWEET CINNAMON THAT HURT!!!

CHAPTER END!!
