Ryu: Hotter than the sun
Feel my fire
Pyromaniac,
My desire!
Thought that you could see the truth
Till I just burned down the booth.

Ryu was currently cleaning his boots whilst listening to a song that breaks the fourth wall in more ways than one.

Ryu: Weird that I can't find any hints on what's gonna happen.

As he finished, Aero had woken up tired.

Aero: Mmm, morning.

Ryu: Morning sleeping beauty. Did you have a good time last night?

She blushed and slightly smiled.

Aero: Was that really your first time? You were too good.

Ryu: And you're apparently in to some kinky ass shit. But the bite mark on my shoulder could've said volumes about that.

Aero: Haha.

Ryu: By the way when we see them again, do NOT, under any circumstances, let any of my teammates know about this.

Aero: Why that?

Ryu: Cause if they here that I did it with someone who kicked my ass the first time we met, neither Karma, Erica, and ESPECIALLY Azure will let me live it down.

Aero: And why's that?

Ryu: Cause I'm not a God Damn sub.

Aero: Oh. Oooooh. Wait what do you mean your not-

Ryu rose an eyebrow with a cocky smirk. Aero then remembered what happened just 8 hours ago and blushed profusely.

Aero: Never mind.

Ryu: I thought so.

Time Skip!!

Team RRANJR we're walking through the forest.

Nora: Another day, another adventure!

Ruby: Whats on the agenda today?

Ryu: Well today on the menu we have our usual dish of walking, served with a nice side of walking.

Nora: And what will we have for our drink?

Ren: Walking.

Ruby: *Sigh* Haven is a lot farther away than I thought.

Ryu rose an eyebrow before looking towards Ruby.

Ren: Ruby-

Ryu: How long did you think it would take to get to this place on foot?

Ruby: I don't know!! I grew up in a small area, I've never seen this far away from home.

Jaune: Right but how long?

Ruby: Maybe like uh... 2 Weeks.

Jaune: WHAT?!

Ryu: Come again?

Aero: Weeks?!

Ruby: Ok fine 3 or something!

Aero: Ruby you have to be kidding right?

Ruby: I mean at first I thought it would be 2, but after Ryu gave me that first lesson, it kinda started to sink in that it would take a lot longer. Look, whatever. Hey, what's that?

They looked ahead to see another village.

Ryu: Ok my bullshit senses are tingling. Guy wait.

Ryu knelt down, closed his eyes, and placed his hand onto the ground. In an instant, he saw the layout of the village, and saw that there was no life.

Ryu: It's empty. There was a Grimm Attack I'd have to bet. It was a place called Oniyuri.

Aero: Ohh. Sorry Ren.

Knowing the tale of Ren's past Aero had started feeling slightly bad.

Ren: It's fine.

Ryu: Lets just get through the place.

Jaune: Gives me the creeps.

They all began walking before Ryu felt something. He stopped and stuck his hand out in front of the rest.

Ryu: Wait.

There was more silence before both he brought out Crescent Nightshade, Causing everyone to bring out their weapons as well. There was another minute of silence before Ryu saw a red haired man with red fox ears drop from the sky and attack him with a Katana.

???: So your the guy that who copied the Maiden Powers from Cinder?

Ryu: And who are you? Besides the guy that I'm about to wipe the floor with.

Aero: Keith?!

Keith kicked off of Ryu's arm into a backflip.

Keith: Glad you remember me Aero.

Keith "Prideful Dragon" Spectral.

Ryu: Keith? So that's the guy that almost killed Azure and Karma right?

Keith: And I came here in hopes that you would be better.

Aero: Your a fool if you think you can take down all of us alone.

Keith: That's why I didn't come alone.

Another man dropped from the sky going into a mad dash towards Ren.

Tyrian "The Bootleg Joker" Callows.

Aero: Oh no, Tyrian too?

He began attacking Ren rapidly before kicking him back and going over to Ruby. She jumped away from him before a kick landed and tried blocking with Crescent Rose. She won't behind him and guarded another kick from him before Tyrian used his claw blades to attack Ruby and pierce through her Aura to hurt her even worse.

Ryu: He can cut through Aura?

He jumped to Jaune and landed on his shield with a crazy look. Nora went charging in and was about to hit him with her hammer before he jumped away and went through a building and managed to use his legs to grip onto the sides.

Jaune: We're not looking for a fight!

He jumped onto the ground slightly pissing Aero off.

Tyrian: Who I am matters not to you. Or you. Aero you already know who I am so it doesn't apply to you. Or- Well, the two of you do interest me.

He pointed to Jaune creeping him out.

Tyrian: No, I only matter, to them.

He pointed to Ryu and Ruby confusing the two.

Ruby: Us?

He started laughing hysterically at Ruby's question.

Tyrian: You- you haven't the slightest clue, do you?

Ryu: Yeah I don't really care who you, I'm just gonna beat your asses and be down with it.

Keith: Sorry kid, but your coming with us wether you like it or not.

Ryu: *Sniff* I smell a challenge. Bigger guys than you have pissed me off before, and guess what, they it really didn't go well for them. But for you scorpion, I'll give you one chance. You better leave now or-

Ryu was met by a gash on the cheek followed by a fireball to the face. Everyone had started freaking out at what they had just witnessed before Ryu cleared away the flames revealing that the cut had healed and he was fine with a smirk.

Ryu: -You're gonna regret it.

Keith: Well it looks like you have some regeneration of your own. Not quite like a vampires, but still potent.

Ryu: And you're a timing so nonchalantly why?

Keith: Cause I now we won't have to worry about going up against it.

Ryu: The hell are you- ARGHH!!!

Before Ryu could continue his sentence, black shadows were emerging from his body blowing back all of team RRANJR.

Ruby: Ryu!!!

Aero: Whats going on!!!

Jaune: Was about to try and go closer but Ryu stuck his hand out.

Ryu: STAY BACK!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Shadows kept swirling around Ryu as he began to change. His pupils became slits, his canine teeth grew sharper, his hair started growing longer, and the bangs of his hair turned red. The transformation was finished as once more he let out a powerful shout.

Ryu: HRAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!

The shadows around him bursted apart revealing his transformed state.

Ren: What happened to him?

Nora: He looks like a Wolf!

Ryu grinned and looked up at them.

Ryu: Interesting.

Shojo: I didn't think anyone would be able to draw out the power you had in your past life. I thought that was all but completely lost. Well everything accept that healing factor.

Jaune: Well whatever they did he's probably ok now.

Jaune: Started walking over to Ryu.

Jaune: You has me scared there man. I thought you were about to go evil.

Ryu looked at Jaune and grinned evilly worrying Aero.

Aero: WAIT JAUNE HE'S NOT HIMSELF RIGHT NOW!!!

Jaune: Say wha?

Before Jaune could look back at Ryu, he was met his a hard punch to the stomach, knocking the wind straight out of him, and sending him flying back into Nora and Ren.

Ren: Jaune!!

Nora: What was that for Ryu?!!

Tyrian: Sorry but you precious friend is with us now.

Keith: Now lets just make this clear, who is your master Ryu?

Ryu: Ya see the funny thing is, I still don't know exactly who she is, but my master is clearly the she.

Ruby: Cinder?!!

Tyrian: HAH!! In her wildest dreams!

Aero had a look of pure anger in her eyes.

Aero: Salem!

Keith: That's right. Now if you want to prove your loyalty, take down those friends of yours.

Ryu: Is that all? Give me a minute.

Ryu cracked his knuckles and began walking towards team RRANJR.

Ruby: Ryu, now lets just talk about this.

As he made his way to them, he disappeared from their vision.

Keith: Oooh. He even faster than I imagined.

It took a minute for everyone else to realize that he was right behind Ren. They were all silent and unable to react still fathoming that he was there. While they were Ryu whispered something into Ren's ear shocking him.

Ren: Ryu, you-

Ren: Spare me the sentimental bull crap and fight me punch.

He spun around and punch Ren in the stomach knocking him out cold.

Ruby: What? But, he was just right there a second ago!

Nora: There wasn't a flash for his sign of teleporting, he was just moving too fast to see.

In another instant, Ryu elbowed Nora in the ribs sending her flying through a building wall.

Aero: 'He's that much stronger too!'

Aero shot 3 Aero's at him while Ruby shot bullets from Crescent Rose with them simply shattering on contact.

Ruby: 'Aaaand he's bullet and arrow proof. He's like a titanium wall.'

Ryu: Gotta say, it's good having this strength back. 'To bad I'm controlled but hey, gotta advance the plot somehow.'

Shojo: Might be evil but it's worth it.

He was about to attack Ruby next, but two swords blocked the slash. Ryu smirked knowing who the figures behind the blades were.

Ryu: So you finally decided to make your move Qrow. And I didn't expect to see you here too.

Ruby was smiling and had tears in her eyes to see Qrow. He simply smiled at her.

Qrow: Hey.

Ruby: Wait, who are you? And why do you look so familiar?

???: Oh right I never introduced myself. You see-

Ryu: Well Rubes, thats because she's Azure's big sister.

That's right. The person who blocked the attack as well was none other than Aurora Kaito.

Aurora: Ryu, what are you doing?

Ryu: I could ask you the same thing. Shouldn't you be in atlas with Azure and my team?

Aurora: Qrow asked me for help and thanks to Erica, I had some help.

Tyrian: Well as I live and breathe. Qrow Branwen and Aurora Kaito. A true Huntsman and Huntress have entered the fray.

Ryu: Back off Tyrian, they're mine. Don't think because I'm on your side I won't take you down.

Qrow and Aurora looked at Ruby with looks that had a million questions.

Ruby: I don't know. These guys came out of nowhere and turned Ryu evil with a fireball I think.

Aurora: Look Ryu, I don't know what's gotten into you, but you're not yourself right now.

Qrow: You would never try and kill Ruby. Sure you'd kill, but not her or any of them.

Keith: I'm sorry my friend, but your student has in manner of speaking, changed sides.

Tyrian: He now serves the Queen like the two of us.

Ruby: Queen?

Qrow: Salem.

Ruby: Who?

Aero: Someone who you do NOT wanna mess with.

Ryu: Well old man, I guess you don't know me that well. And as for who Salem is, well I'll get those answers a different way I guess.

Aurora: Ryu, you do not want to be involved with Salem. She is bad news. Like, Demonic Queen type of bad.

Ryu: Mmmm, don't care.

Tyrian: Alright Ryu have your fun with the silver one, I'll take your master.

Ryu: Fine, but let's make this clear.

Ryu appeared in front of Aurora and kicked her.

Ryu: I don't like listening to weaklings.

Music Start!!

Aurora was hovering over the ground as she brought her head up.

Aurora: 'Oh wow he's actually ridiculously strong without even using the Maiden Powers.'

She stuck her great sword into the ground stoping her and creating a gash in the ground. From that gash came slices of lava that went towards Ryu. He brought his hand up and began deflecting the slashed behind him towards Keith who deflected them behind himself to Tyrian and Qrow.

Tyrian: WATCH IT!

Keith: Tell that to him.

Ryu: You know even though I've gotten a lot stronger, I thought you'd be more of a challenge.

He ran in front of her throwing his scythe up into the air. This distracted Aurora long enough for him to land powerful body blows on her. It was only until she summoned lava under his feat did he back away.

Ryu: Heh. Not bad, but how about this.

Ryu flicked his fingers upward making crystal blades come up and nearly stabbing her. Thankfully she moved out of they way only receiving a slash on the leg.

Aurora: Argh!

She transformed her sword into a shotgun shooting at Ryu's feat. He noticed they were explosive shells and moved out of the way before an explosion happened. He extended out his hand and created a sword before bringing it behind him.

Ryu: Piercing Heaven!!!

He shot out a wave of red and black Aura rapidly approaching Aurora. She made a wall of Lava temporarily stopping the attack, but it went through and hit her dead on.

Music End.

Ryu appeared right in front of her and smirked.

Ryu: The Maiden powers were definitely overkill, but who doesn't like a bit of that.

Aurora: Shit.

Ryu looked over his shoulder and saw Tyrian was about to get his tail cut off by Ruby.

Shojo: That's what he gets for not having his guard up.

Ruby pulled the trigger on Crescent Rose pulling the scythe back and tacking Tyrian's stinger clean off.

Tyrian: ARGHH!!!

Keith: Shouldn't have let your guard down.

Tyrian: ARGH you BITCH!!

Ryu: Well well, looks like you just got done like one.

Tyrian: S-she'll forgive us.

Keith: Lets go, we finished our objective. Ryu.

Ryu looked back at Aurora with a smug smirk.

Ryu: Looks like you lucked out.

Ryu's eyes began glowing in flames before he was beside Tyrian and Keith.

Ruby: Ryu don't do this!!

Ryu: Can't little red, but seems like your plans with me just got canceled.

Aero: Ryu please!!

Tears flowed down Aero's face as she tried to plead with Ryu.

Ryu: Sorry, but fate just has something else to offer.

Tyrian ran while Keith dispersed in flames and Ryu flew fast enough to disappear from the area. At this time team JNPR minus Pyrrha had woke up from the blows they had taken.

Jaune: Argh what happened?

Nora: I don't know, but I think Ryu broke the right side of my ribcage...

Ren: .....

Aurora: They're gone. Ryu those two men, they're just gone...

Qrow: Damn it...

Aero: AHHHH!!

Aero punched the ground caving it in and making cracks go out. She then started sobbing uncontrollably. Jaune began shouting himself at the loss of his friend and one of the only people who believed in him at the start of Beacon.

Jaune: Why him?!! WHY HIM OF ALL PEOPLE?!!!

It began raining as Aero clenched her fist so tightly blood came out. Ren walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Ren: Aero, before Ryu knocked me out, he gave me this.

Ren took out a red button confusing Aero.

Aero: What is a red button supposed to do?!

Ruby: Did you just say a red button?!!

Ruby let go of Qrow and speeded towards Ren and Aero. She immediately grabbed the button and looked at it in complete happiness. Just then as if completely tied to Ruby's mood, the rain stopped and a ray of light shined down on Ruby in the night.

Ruby: WE CAN GET HIM BACK!!!

Nora: Now I'M confused, how will that help get Ryu back?

Ruby: THIS IS A WAY TO GET INTO RYU'S VAULT OF WEAPONS!!!

Aurora: Ruby, none of our weapons even scratched him. He's pretty much invisible at this point.

Ruby: Most of his weapons wouldn't do much yeah, but there's one weapon that'll get him to his senses in no time!!

Aero: And what weapon is that?

Ruby: It's called the-
