Author's Notes: This is a modern AU mixed with an original Kamen Rider idea I've had for a while. Faunus do not exist in this world. While this will eventually be White Rose & Bumblebee it'll probably take a while.

Episode 1: New Student

"Hey, Ruby you didn't happen to finish Port's homework for today?" Jaune asked as we walked into class. I nod as I take my seat. "Any chance I can copy it?"

"How have you made it this far if you seemingly can't do any homework?" I say with a sigh. "Look if you need help just ask & I'll be glad to help. Or you could ask your science partner." I motion over to Pyrrha sitting a few desks down. "Of course, that would require you actually talking to her."

"Hey! You know you're lucky not having a partner" he said with a sigh. "Stupid odd number of students in class." I'm about to respond when professor Port walks in.

"Ah, good afternoon class. Now I hope you all finished that homework assigned last night. Please pass it forward." The shuffling of papers being passed forward fills the room for the next couple minutes. "Now, as you might know, we have a lab today. These papers should explain what we're doing" He says passing out a small packet of papers. "Now if you…" He's interrupted by someone walking up to him from the hall and motioning him to go out in the hall. "Umm, I'll be right back students. Start looking over the packets with your partners." And with that he scoots out of the room.

"Wonder what that was about?" Jaune asked.

"Who knows?" I say picking up the packet and making my way back to the lab tables in the back of the room. Flipping through the packet and figuring out how exactly I'm going to do a physics lab solo. As I'm looking through the packet I hear the door to the classroom reopen. Looking up I see Mr. Port walk in with a white haired girl following close behind. Her hair completely covered half her face, as if to hide something. She wore a white t-shirt and jeans. The two quickly approached my table.

"Ah Ms. Rose, this is Weiss Schnee. She's a new student here at Beacon High and since you are the only one in this class without a partner she will be yours. I hope you two will get along. Now class…" I drown him out as I look at the woman before me, arms crossed.

"So are we going to do this lab or are you going to stand there staying?" she snaps grabbing the packet out of my arms.

"Ummm yeah," I say breaking out of my daze. "My name's Ruby by the way." She ignores me and starts setting up the lab. I sigh and help her set up. "So are you new in town? How you liking Beacon High so far?" she continues to ignore me "Not much of a talker huh. Well, let's get this lab started."

"So now that you have your partner presentations for the quarter I expect you to start working on them as soon as possible" Port says at the end of class. "We don't want a repeat of last years 'incident'" everyone looks over at me like it's somehow my fault my older sister nearly burnt down the school last year. The awkward staring is only broken by the bell ringing signifying the end of class and school day. Weiss darted out of class and I quickly caught up to her

"Hey we need to meet up to start on that project," I say as we approach what I assume to be her locker "Can I have a phone number maybe we can plan something or…" I'm interrupted by her slamming the locker shut

"Look, Ruby," she says turning around "Don't worry about the project. I'll take care of it"

"But Weiss that…"

"I said I'll take care of it. I don't need or want your help" she snapped before walking off.

"What's her deal?" I hear my girlfriend Cinder say as she slips her arms around me.

"Hey babe. No clue. She's a new student and my partner in science class."

"Partner huh? Just make sure you don't blow something up like your sister did with me last year." She said with a chuckle. "Anyways I've got practice so I'll talk to you later," she says pecking me on the cheek.

"Yea I'll talk to you later," I say blushing. "I've got stuff to do too"

If you told me last year that I, the nerdy girl, would be dating the head cheerleader I would look at you like you had 10 heads. I'm not even 100% sure how it happened. Not that I'm complaining, of course, she's an awesome girlfriend. Sighing I grab my stuff out of the locker and start heading towards robotics club, texting Yang and letting her know I'd be late coming home. Before I can send the text I walk into someone and fall backward.

"Whoops sorry. Wasn't looking where I was going. Are you..." I trail off as my eyes look up. Before me is some sort of bear humanoid, pitch black fur, with a white mask over its head. "What the crap is that?" I say backpedaling on the ground. The creature lurches forward with a growl, unlike anything I've ever seen before, its large claw coming down. I close my eyes expecting the strike to come but hear the creature hit something metal. Opening my eyes I see Weiss standing before me, an ornate sword in her left hand held over her head, holding the creature off.

"Get…Out…Of…Here…NOW!" she shouts.

"Weiss what is that where'd you get that sword what's going…"

"RUN!" she screams "I can't hold this thing much longer" I quickly dart to my feet and run down the hall, stopping as I turn the corner to watch whatever the heck is going on. Weiss forces the creature back before holding up the sword.

"Damn, you're here too? Can I not escape you?" she says lifting her other hand up to the guard of her sword, where some contraption sits.

"Henshin!" she shouts, flicking her wrist and spinning the contraption.

Ice dust activate, Rider form Huntress. I hear a disembodied voice echo through the hall, as small particles of what appears to be ice appear out of nowhere surrounding Weiss, the contraption eventually stopping on a bright white line. The dust shoots in and envelop her as a bright light forces me to close my eyes. Opening them where Weiss once stood I see a figure in ornate white armor, form fitting to whatever is underneath it, still holding the sword. With superhuman speed, she lunges forward striking the monster with her sword, before cartwheeling around its claw slash. Landing on her feet she strikes the creature again, using her other arm to another block another incoming claw slash. Going for another strike the creature gets a claw underneath her sword arm sending her flying back several feet, landing hard on her back. With lightning fast reflexes she jumps to her feet.

"Time to change it up a bit" with a flick of her wrist the blade of her sword flips down, opening up where the contraption lay. Pulling it off its spot she pulls out another one, this time a red one with black lines. She places it where the other one was, flicks her wrist causing the sword to pop back into position, & spins the barrel again.

Fire Dust activate, Rider form Huntress I hear the disembodied voice say again, as red particles appear like the white particles did before, again crashing into the figure with a bright light. When the light fades the figure now stands in red armor, flames shooting off the shoulders, the tip of her sword having a small flame on it. Rushing forward she strikes the creature several times, each time a large spark and flame bouncing off the beast. The monster swings several times but the knight merely shrugs off the attacks. After forcing the creature several steps back, she again opens up the guard and removes the red barrel, replacing it with the white one. She spins the barrel and suddenly the figure returns to the white armor she initially had.

"Go back to whatever hell you came from Grimm" I hear a slightly distorted Weiss shout from within the armor. Raising the sword up she spins the barrel again, this time without changing which barrel is in the sword

Ice Dust, Semblance activate, the disembodied voice says. Weiss' sword glows white as she slams it into the ground. From the blade, ice shoots forth before reaching the creature encasing it in place. A large white glyph appears behind Weiss and she leaps into it before flying forth with a kick

"Final Freezing Kick!" she shouts as she collides with the creature, shattering the ice encasing it, before bouncing off and landing back where she started. The creature is stunned for several seconds before fading into dark smoke. Weiss raises up her sword and spins the barrel the other way, and the armor disappears in a burst of dust, revealing my new lab partner. With a flick of her wrist, the sword disappears and she starts walking towards where I'm hiding. She walks past me and seems to either not notice me or not care. I quickly catch up to her

"Weiss what was that? What was that creature? How did you turn into that knight person? What's going on?" she stops and turns around, glaring at me like she was trying to make my head explode with her mind.

"Do not tell anyone about what you saw here. In fact, forget about everything you saw here. It's none of your business." She said.

"I think it's my business given how that thing just attacked me." I shout "What if that thing has friends?"

"Ruby Rose, go to your club and forget everything that happened. You don't want to get involved in this." She says before storming off.

Later that night, Weiss' POV

"Hey sweetie how was your first day?" I hear my mom ask when I get home. I give a grunt in reply before heading up to my room and booting up my laptop. As soon as skype launches I get a message from my friend Blake.

Blake: How was the 1st day of school?

You: Ugh. Same old crap as always. My science partner is an annoying dolt, the teachers are boring, and to top it all off, they're here too.

Blake: The Grimm?

She's the only person that knows about my secret other than my mother. And I guess that dolt as well.

You: yea. I just wish I knew more about these creatures, other than their name. One of them attacked a student today.

Blake: Did they see you transform?

You: Unfortunately. So I get to play damage control tomorrow. She's probably told all her friends that the new girl is "weird" and stuff.

Blake: That's a pretty big school there's no way you'll see them again. Unless

You: The person I saved also happens to be that annoying dolt of a science partner.

Blake: Talk to her tomorrow. Perhaps you can convince her to keep quiet.

You: We'll see. Anyway, I've got homework to do so I'll talk to you later Blake.

Blake: Have a good night Weiss.

Ruby's POV

I walked into the house after robotics club to see Dad setting dinner on the table.

"Hey, Rubes. How'd school go today?"

"It was ok." I say "They finally gave me a science partner today. We got a new student."

"She cute?" My sister Yang asks walking into the room.

"First off how do you even know it's a she?" And even if it was why does it matter if she's cute? I do have a girlfriend Yang." I say.

"Sheesh sis, I was just joking. Everything ok?"

"Yea. It's just…" I pause remembering what Weiss told me about not telling people. "Programming the robot could be going better" I lied grabbing some food from the dish and putting it on my plate.

"Alright. Just remember if you're having trouble you can always talk to us" Dad says.

I wish I could talk to you, but Weiss might kill me. And with how she fought off that creature today she might be able to.

Ruby's POV - the next day

For the first time I can remember I walked into science class just before the bell. Despite my best efforts I couldn't just forget what happened yesterday, and didn't want to face Weiss because if she didn't like me when we first met, she definitely hated me after yesterday. Plus I don't know if I'd be able to hold back on asking again for an explanation for, anything related to what happened last night. Entering the room I see Weiss in an empty desk thankfully on the opposite side of the room from mine. Our eyes briefly met, her expression blank as I took my seat next to Jaune.

"Ruby you feeling ok?" He asked, "You're usually the first here, not barely beating the bell." I shrug my shoulders before placing my backpack underneath my desk. "Hey do you think she's open?" he says pointing over at Weiss.

"No idea," I say still digging in my backpack. "Might not hurt to ask. Maybe you'll have better luck than me"

"Don't you have a…" I shoot him a glare

"Not like that. Let's just say the lab yesterday was the high point of our introductions." I say. Finally finding my textbook I pull it out only to find an envelope fall out alongside it. It was completely blank, although it was clear something was inside it.

"Looks like someone's got a secret admirer" Jaune jokes. "Cinder will be jealous" I roll my eyes at him before opening up the envelope. Unfolding the paper contained within I read:

3:20 after school

Library

Not about that

Weiss

"Isn't that the name of the new girl?" Jaune asks reading over my shoulder.

"Didn't your mom teach you not to read over people's shoulders?" I say pushing him back.

"What happened between you two that she uses 'that'?" Jaune teases. "Some sort of one night stand." Fortunately for him (and unfortunately for me) before I can smack him the bell rings signifying class starting.

After school

"Stupid Port making me stay late," I say as I walk into the library. It's a bit past 3:30 and I wouldn't be surprised if Weiss just left. The library is fairly empty when I walk in. Some students studying but other than that only the librarian sitting at her desk. Looking around I don't see Weiss anywhere.

"Hey, Mrs. Peach. Have you seen Weiss anywhere? I was supposed to meet her here"

"That's the new girl, right? I saw her come in, didn't see her leave. Look around you're bound to find her." I thank her and start searching up and down the aisles for her.

"You're late." I hear her say behind me. I turn around seeing her with her arms crossed and a glare on her face (at least the half I can see, her hair still covering half her face). "You were the one who wanted to work on this science project together."

"Umm, sorry Port wanted to talk to me after class. Apparently almost being late for the first time is cause for alarm." I say rubbing the back of my head. "He wanted to make sure everything was ok" her glare increases "look I didn't tell him about, well, you know 'that'" I state using air quotes. "I just said I didn't get much sleep last night" which wasn't entirely false. Getting almost killed by some bear creature only to be saved by the new student and your science partner keeps a girl up at night.

She sighs "well at least you can keep a secret… for now. So what did you have any ideas for this project or am I supposed to come up with everything?"

"Yea actually. I had a couple ideas that I could run by you."

"As long as it doesn't involve volcanoes and your sister it should be ok."

"How did you find out about that anyways?" I groan.

"Let's just say your sister's little "experiment" made national news."

"Damn it, Yang. She's gotten less flack for it than me." I facepalm "other than the suspension of course"

"Dolt. I have a table setup already to work on. We need to figure out what we're going to test as well as how."

"Alright then let's get to work." We take a seat at a nearby table where several pieces of paper are laid out. As we're discussing our plans my sight is drawn to her left hand. On it I notice what appears to be a tattoo of a stylized version of the sword she used yesterday. Where did that sword go anyway? She flicked her wrist and it just disappeared. Did it turn into that tattoo? Nah that's crazy. Swords don't turn into tattoos. Of course, science partners don't turn into knight warriors to kill bear monsters.

"Are you even paying attention to what I'm saying Ruby!" Weiss takes me out of my thoughts with a snap of her other fingers.

"Yea I've been listening the whole time."

"Really then what did I just ask?"

"Ummmm…"

"So you haven't been listening." She shakes her head. "As I was saying" suddenly she grabs the side of her face covered by her hair and groans.

"Everything ok Weiss? I've got some Tylenol in my backpack if you want."

"I'm fine. We're going to have to cut this short. I'll talk to you later." She grabs her stuff and darts out of the room, still grabbing her face. I start picking up the mess of papers and books, trying to organize the notes.

"Great science partner you've got there. Running off at random." Cinder remarks as she walks up to me. "I figured I'd find you here. Did you forget we had a date tonight?"

I smack my head "Sorry Cinder I completely forgot. Weiss wanted to get started on our project today and it slipped my mind. What'd you have in mind?"

"There is that movie you wanted to see. So how about we go out to eat then go see that?"

"Sounds like a plan" We start heading down the hallway and I start sending dad a text letting him know I'll be late. As I'm about to send it I nearly bump into Cinder as I didn't notice she stopped.

"Cinder what's going…" I am cut off as another one of those bear creatures starts barreling towards us.

Author's Notes: Hope you liked it. I'm not the best at writing fight scenes (or writing in general) so any criticisms/tips you can give would be greatly appreciated. Yes, this is starting off as a fallen petals fic but that's only temporary. Anyway, leave a review if you want.
