Journey Through the Decade

"Huh, that's odd," Arnold said.

"What is?" Sun asked as he and Neptune sat below the other teens.

"Seems like this little video is going to be happening live and broadcasted to the whole theater's rooms. That's nice of Decade."

"What do you mean?" Weiss asked.

"He would usually never do that." From the interactions they saw of him, the groups could agree with that.

The scene opens up to Jaune who was sipping some coffee. Next to him was a large backpack, looking like he was about to go camping. He heard footsteps and looks towards the screen, or rather the camera. This Jaune was dressed in a plaid shirt underneath a leather vest, with jeans to finish off the suit. Overall very normal.

"He looks normal," Blake pointed out.

"Is he going on a trip or something?" Ruby asked.

"Ah no. This version of Jaune travels the world, helping out others," Arnold responded. "He fights for the smiles of others." Since this was being shown to the entire theater, so was theArnold's explanations.

So, of course, the villains had to roll their eyes.

"Oh! Hey Decade, how are you man?" this Jaune greeted. He tilted his head and waved at someone behind him. "Hey, Kivala!"

"Kivala?" Penny asked.

"Hey there!" an older Ruby voice said from off-screen. "How are you?"

"Wait...why did he call me Kivala?" Ruby wondered.

"Haven't you noticed that these versions of Jaune are calling each other by codename…" Weiss was saying before being interrupted.

"They are called Kamen Riders," Arnold told her.

"Ah yes, sorry. These Kamen Riders are going by codenames. Maybe that is your codename?"

"Wait! I have ARMOR!?" Ruby squealed.

"You do."

"Can I see it?" Arnoldl just laughed but didn't respond, making her pout.

"Doing good," Jaune gave a thumbs up.

"Kuuga," Decade said from behind the camera. "I'm doing a little show right now. I'm asking all of us to Henshin. It's being shown live as some alternate versions of our friends are stuck in a multiverse theater. They've been watching some too emotional worlds recently. So I thought something fun like this would be calming."

"So he does care," Yang grinned. "He's just hiding it. What a softy."

"Oh, that's neat!" Jaune said. "So you're meeting up with everyone from me to Build?"

"How many of them are there?" Nora asked.

"Into the triple digits if you include everyone. But he's going to the main versions of them. So nineteen."

"Yes and no." Jaune gave Decade a weird look. The crowd could feel the man roll his eyes. "There's another one for our generation. His name is Zi-O."

"Oh, I stand corrected. It should be twenty."

"Again neat. So how should I do this?" Jaune stood up. "Just normal?"

"Yeah, just the basic form. If we do it this would take all damn day with just one of us."

"Basic forms?" Ren wondered.

"All of them have auxiliary and upgraded forms. And Decade is right. If we went through all of their forms it would take a while to explain them all."
