Episode One: AuraRangers and Destiny Pt1
Ruby Rose was watching a saved recording of a fight. It was in Vale City more than a few years ago. It was a group of seven people each wearing similar suits but had their own colors and weapons, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, Black and White. They called themselves the Knight Sentai AuraRanger. They had fought creatures called Grimm and protected the city as best as they could. One day after a big battle with a woman who called herself Salem that the seven AuraRangers had sealed away, the multicolored group vanished. Ruby while growing up looked up to and admired the deed of the Sentai. She looks on her bed as a mostly purple fired creature the size of a fully grown rabbit sleeps on the couch behind her, but his large plush proportions make him look like some kind of Hamster. “Guess Dorimon is still tuckered out.”
Ruby remembers meeting Dorimon, it was in another reality called the Digital world she became close friends with Sun, Velvet, Flynt, and Ren while there, they had partners called Digimon which is what Dorimon is. The 10 of them were like their very own sentai, they saved an entire world and by doing so saved this one. It wasn’t easy to say the least and for a while the followers of some bad Digimon who they beat tried to get revenge by coming to this world, but that hasn’t happened in a long time. “It’s kinda weird, the world being in a state of relative peace. But it's a good kind of weird.”
“I’m just glad I don’t have to worry that my baby sister isn’t throwing herself into danger.” Ruby sees that at some point Yang entered the living room. “You and the fur ball get to your own bed, it’s almost midnight, and you have school.”
“And what about you?”
“I can handle it, if you keep this up you're going to stay short forever.” Yang tells her.
“Well, I drink milk.” Ruby says defiantly at her sister's teasing. “But fine, Dorimon does like to complain about their back if they sleep on the couch too long.” Ruby turns off the TV and picks up her partner before going to bed.
Elsewhere in the city in a barely lit back alley a misty portal of black and red opens up, coming out is a few black wolf like creatures with bone plating attached to them like natural armor. Their eyes glow red. About ten exit the portal before it becomes shut.
“Great, I was hoping Ozpin was being paranoid.” The creatures turn to face him. “Beowolves definitely look a lot nastier than I remember.” Qrow pulls back his sleeve to reveal a bracer of some kind on his wrist, in black lettering is “Aura Ranger”. Qrow presses a button that opens a panel, “It’s Morphin’ Time!” He presses in a code onto a keypad and light engulfs him before revealing he is now wearing a black suit with some chest armor and bracers, he has a bird themed helmet to go with his costume. A black cape billows behind him as he has some kind of sword resting sideways on his back. “The Lonely Knight, Aura Black!”
Qrow grabs the sword off his back and gets into a fighting position. The Beowolves charge at him. Qrow jumps on top of one pushing its head into the ground before slicing through a second one and gets knocked back by a third before pushing it off and piercing through a fourth. He blocks an attack from a fifth but gets rammed into by the third one as it bites into his shoulder and he grounds in pain. He knees it in the stomach making it back off before slicing it in half. He notices the first is getting up and plunges his sword through it and uses his sword to help him kick into a sixth knocking it into the seventh and punches the eighth and pulls out his sword to slice through the ninth’s arm before beheading it.
Qrow finds himself panting as he sees four are left. “I’m getting too old for this stuff.” He tells himself before reading his weapon. The remaining Beowolves run off and Qrow tries to chase after them but they split up and head into different directions. Qrow leans up against a wall and cancels his transformation. He winces as his shoulder feels tender and his back hurts.
He activates a call function on his changer, “Ozpin it’s like you thought. She at the very least found a way to send just Grimm through.”
“That does sound troubling, I’ll ask Pink to come to Vale asap.”
“Wish it was the simple Oz, I was having trouble with just ten Grimm, and four of them got away. We'll need at least Red, Blue and Yellow to be active.”
“Qrow you know they're dead, unless you mean.”
“Yeah, and I already have people in mind, My niece and her friends are experienced enough with fighting monsters, they even have their own “partners” to help them.”
“It’s not that we have many options. I’m still going to call Pink to come back to Vale. I would like to meet your choices for new Aura Rangers however.” Ozpin then cuts the call.
“Summer would punch me for doing this.” Qrow gets back on his feet and hopes a bar is still open, he needs a drink.
Sun dressed up in a hoodie and some sweats sees hate speech graffiti on a wall near a Faunus friendly business. “Bingo.” He pulls up a respirator over his face and pulls out spray paints. It’s a bit more clear that his hoodie has a variety of paint stains on it. “Tsunomon, you know the drill.” He says to a white and orange sphere creature with a blade like horn on it.
“Yep, I’ll keep on as look out, Sun!” Tsunomon tells him.
After Sun finishes he picks Tsunomon with his tail and then goes to hold him in his arms, “now this is where make a break for it.”
“Hell yeah!”
Ozpin was sitting inside his personal office at home looking over an album. There was a group of ten people in a picture, it was of Qrow, Summer, Glynda, Leo, Peter, James, Pink and Himself and two others in more color coded outfits. By that picture was a picture of the Aura Ranger team at its full ten. Most of these people are dead, and they are missing three morphers. A strong group of ten has been reduced to three now, “ We weren't ready.” He tells himself sorrowfully. “But hopefully we can make sure this new generation will be.” He opens a secret compartment in his desk and pulls out a case that he opens up. Inside are four bracelet-like devices similar to what Qrow wore. One had red letters, another had blue, the third had yellow and the last had white. He pulls back his sleeve to reveal a sixth morphed with green letters. He grabs the morphed like he is debating something before sliding his sleeve back into place.
Velvet is sleeping on her bed. It's hard to make out on her walls but there are several pictures on the walls. And a spherical feline creature was currently cuddled up to velvet. In another room is Coco who is working on a new outfit.
