It's an average day. As the group talks, Nora starts catapulting grapes into Yang's mouth with a spoon, Blake starts looking into her notebook, and Weiss is just eating her lunch. Ruby suddenly drops a massive binder in front of her team and you stare at it.

Y/N: Um...

Ruby: Sister! Friends! Weiss...

Weiss: Hey!

Ruby: Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream.

Yang: This oughta be good.

Ruby: A dream that one day, the four of us will come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had... ever!

Weiss: Did you steal my binder?

Ruby: I am not a crook.

Blake: What are you talking about?

Ruby: I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!

Yang: I always kick off my semesters with a Yang.

Nora throws an apple at Yang

Nora: Boo!

The girls notice you, August, and Emily were planning and writing for something.

Yang: What're you guys doing?

Emily: We're planning our mom's birthday party.

Ruby: That's so sweet. What was the plan?

August: There's a hot spring resort not too far away. It's where Dad proposed to Mom.

Pyrrha: That sounds rather nice.

Y/N: Do you guys wanna come too? I'm sure Mom and Dad would love to meet everyone.

Ren: We wouldn't want to intrude.

Y/N: I insist.

Daniel: It will be funded by Fenix as a token of thanks for our work. You're all more than welcome to attend.

Yang: Awesome.

Weiss: If you ask me I-

Before she can finish her sentence, Nora throws a pie at her face.

Y/N: Um... We may wanna go...

Vice: I wanna watch! This is gonna be awesome!

Daniel looks at his Gundephone.

Daniel: Actually, we've got to go anyway. Deadman.

Vice: Aw man!

You leave just as RWBY and JNPR get into a massive food fight. Your team and you reach Vale to see a Deadman running around at high speed and causing havoc.

Vice: Holy crap! He's fast!

Y/N: Damn! Let's get fast ourselves!

Ptera!

Y/N: Henshin!

Buddy Up! Joushou kiryuu! Ichiryuu! Yokuryuu! Ptera! Flying by! Complete!

You transform into the Ptera Genome and rush the Deadman but before you reach it, the creature suddenly speeds up to the point Ptera Genome can't keep up.

Vice: EH?!

The Deadman suddenly appears and kicks you aside.

Emily: It's faster than Y/N?!

The Deadman dashes away and you punch the ground.

Emily: How was it so fast?!

George pops up.

George: Because it's the Cheetah Deadman.

August: Cheetah?

George: Yep. Don't worry though. I got a Vistamp that will definitely help. I just gotta finish it. You four deserve a break for now. Come back to the Sky Base.

The group returns to the Fenix base.

August: I'll be right back.

Your younger brother goes to the bathroom and he washes his face. When he looks up, he sees something strange. A version of himself wearing all black with a sinister smile.

??????: Hello, August.

August: What the? W-Who are-

??????: Isn't it obvious?

The August in the mirror taps his heart.

??????: I'm the Demon born from your heart... Kagero...

August: But...

Kagero: I was born from your resentment. My sole reason to exist... Is to kill your brother, Y/N.

August: No!

Daniel: August?

August turns to see his teammate. He looks back at the mirror to see that Kagero was gone.

Daniel: Are you alright?

August: Y-Yeah... Just a bit tired...

He walks past Daniel who watches in concern. You and the other L/N siblings decide to stop by the Happy Spa for a little while. After the siblings leave, Daniel goes to George and Commander Taichi.

Daniel: I feel like something's wrong with August...

George: So you noticed it too... I feel like the incident a few months ago has affected him negatively.

Daniel: ... Do you think it's possible he's that other Rider?

Taichi: There's only one way to be certain.

George sets a briefcase in front of Daniel and he looks in it.

Daniel: Right...

He closes the case and leaves. Taichi looks at George.

Taichi: What is your goal in this?

George: Just living my Kamen Rider fantasy. Nothing more.

After a break, Vice and you fly around Vale in Ptera Genome to try to find the Cheetah Phase 2 Deadman.

Revi: Any sign of it, Vice?

Vice: ... I see him! Let's go!

You fly down and blindside the Deadman, knocking it into a skate park.

Rex! Buddy Up!

You change into Rex Genome and try to shoot at the Demon with your Ohinbuster, only for the strange Rider from before to block the attack.

Vice: You again?!

The Rider goes to slash at you but he gets shot at. You turn to see Daniel with his Gundephone aimed at the Rider

Daniel: Y/N!

He tosses you a new Vistamp and you look at it.

Daniel: That will give you the speed to fight that Deadman. I'll handle this.

He holds up a Driver and places it on his waist.

Demons Driver!

Revi: Eh?

Your indigo haired teammate holds up a Vistamp of his own.

Daniel: I will lay down my life... To protect the world!

Spider!

Deal!

A small spider drops down from nowhere and glows.

Daniel: Henshin!

Decide Up! Deep. (Fukaku) Drop. (Ochiru) Danger. (Kiki) (Kamen) Rider. Demons!

The spider flies around Daniel as it wraps him in web, creating a new Rider suit.

Vice: Woah! That's so sick!

Revi: Let's go!

Jackal!

Come on! Ja-Ja-Ja-Jackal!

Buddy Up! Technical! Rhythmical! Critical! Jackal! Nonstop de clear shite yaru ze!

You transform into a new form while Vice... Becomes a skateboard.

Vice: WHY AM I A SKATEBOARD!?

You hop on Vice and start skating around, keeping up with the Deadman.

Remix! Buddy Up! Hissatsu! Karugaru! Nokkaru! Jackal!

Daniel punches the dark Rider and knocks him back.

Demons: Start talking! Who are you!?

????: ...

Demons: Fine. I'll find out by force.

Daniel approaches the Rider but...

Hissatsu Shonin! Bat! Darkness Finish!

The Rider attacks with an energy slash but Daniel blocks. When the smoke clears, the Rider has vanished.

The Rider slashes at Daniel who leaps up and hangs upside down, shooting web at him. Meanwhile, you skate around and pull some skateboard tricks while still attacking the Deadman.

Vice: Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Hey! Take it easy!

Revi: Sorry!

You launch Vice at the Deadman and get a finisher ready.

Jackal! Stamping Finish!

Vice flies back to you and you kick him, using him to deliver the finisher, separating the Demon.

Vice: Alright! 3! 2! 1!

The Demon explodes and you de-transform. Daniel has Fenix operatives take the man separated from the Deadman to their rehabilitation center and you both de-transform.

Y/N: So you got a Driver of your own.

Daniel: Yeah. Two Riders will give us quite the leg up above our foes.

Meanwhile... Roman is with Aguilera, Julio, and Olteca as two new characters walk in. A girl with dark skin and green hair and a guy with pale skin and grey hair. The guy speaks first.

??????? 1: Who let the crazies in here?

Julio glares at him.

Julio: Hold your tongue, human!

??????? 1: You gonna make me, Mutt?

The girl steps in between the two.

??????? 2: Girls, your both pretty.

Roman: She sent the kids again! This is turning out just like the divorce.

??????? 2: Ugh... Spare us the thought of you procreating.

Roman: It was a joke. And this... Just might tell me where you've been?

He holds up a paper and the girl looks shocked.

??????? 2: How did you?

Roman: I'm a professional, sweetheart. Watch and learn and you might learn a thing or two. Why do you have this address?

??????? 2: Fixing your mess ups. One of them anyway.

Roman: I had that under control.

??????? 1: Some packed bags and a ticket out of Vale says otherwise.

Roman: Listen here. If it was up to me, I'd take you and your street rat friend here and-

?????: You'd what, Roman?

The group looks to see a woman with black hair, wearing a red dress with gold accents.

Roman: I'd... not kill them?

??????? 2: Cinder!

Olteca: Their ringleader is here.

Cinder walks over with an air of authority about her.

Cinder: I thought you were to kill the would be runaway.

Roman: I was going to but...

??????? 2: He was going to escape to Vacuo. Mercury and I took the opportunity to kill the rat.

Mercury: I think he was some kind of cat actually.

??????? 2: What like a puma?

Mercury: Yeah. There you go.

Cinder: I thought I told you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale, Emerald?

Emerald: I-I just thought...

Cinder: Don't think. Obey... But...

She turns to Roman.

Cinder: Why wasn't this dealt with sooner?

Roman points to all the containers of Dust.

Roman: Eh? Eh?! EH?! Sorry if I've been busy stealing every last speck of Dust in the kingdom!

Mercury: You're an inspiration to every thug with a gun and a ski mask.

Roman: Look around, I got this town cowering, Dust prices are through the roof, and we've got more Dust crystals, powder, and ammunition than we know what to do with! Speaking of which... If you would be so kind as to fill me in on your master plan, it may make my next few heists easier.

Cinder: Come now, Roman... Have a bit of faith.

The woman cups the criminal's cheek with her hand as he looks away.

Cinder: Besides... We're done with Dust.

Roman: Huh?

Aguilera: We're moving to phase 2. She looks over as a figure steps out of the shadows, revealing August but wearing all black.

Aguilera: But we have a little issue of our own to deal with first. Right, Kagero?

The Demon possessing your brother merely smiles as he flicks his pointer finger.

Cinder: Do what you will.

With that, Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury leave.

Kagero: Now... Y/N will fall...
