GARO: SSBR of Makai
by EvaShinobiKaiserKnight
- Recommended by: Strafe 2409
- Crossover with: GARO
- Status: Ongoing. A Spin-Offspring sequel, titled GARO: Remnant Knight
is currently on development.
- ''Synopsis:" "Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns. Yet by the blade of Knights, mankind was given hope". When the Seal of the Horror who is the Mask of Messiah is being threatened, a team must be formed from some of the best of Makai Knights and Makai Priests. The team name is SSBR (read: Saber), and the bearer of the Golden Knight title is the leader. He, alongside with two fellow Knights and a Priestess, are assigned by the Watchdog of Vale Kingdom to help team RWBY and JNPR to become the next great Hunters, all while protecting the kingdom from Horrors and Grimms.
- Comments: The story itself covers the first two Volumes of RWBY's story, and the writer is currently writing the recently released third volume. While retaining the core of RWBY's story, it also incorporates the fight scenes and events from the TV series* , as well the anime continuity* . Of course, the writer also adding some originality to make the story fresh. One of the best example is Ruby, while retains her duty as a Huntress, she become a Makai Knight, once she inherits the Scorching Knight title: YAIBA* . Grammar and punctuation issues aside, overall it is a well-writen story.

Adding a new page for new RWBY fanworks, titled GARO: SSBR of Makai.
GARO: SSBR of Makai
is a RWBY and GARO crossover fanfiction by EvaShinobiKaiserKnight
.
In this fanfic, the Makai Oder are a secret organization of warriors who hunt down the Horrors: monsters born from the darkness of human souls. Essentially, they are pretty much similar to Huntsmen, except they are in action during the night time, hiding in the shadows to protect the light. Sirius Saejima is a Makai Knight who has inherited the title of GARO from his deceased father. With the help of his trustworthy Madou Ring Zaruba, he spends his nights hunting down and slaying the Horrors that have possessed humans.
One day, he meets Ruby Rose, a student of Signal Academy in training to become a Huntress. After Sirius rescues Ruby from a Horror, it seems Sirius have an interest with Ruby, once they enrolled to the Beacon academy.
Some time ago before Sirius enrolled, he is tasked by Ozpin and the Kingdom of Vale's Watchdog to deal with Darkus, a Horror that is rumored to be the progenitor of Grimms. All Makai Priests of the past had sealed his essence right under Beacon Academy before the academy was constructed, and has remained there ever since. In the present day, two shadowy figures sneaks into the academy and use a talisman to free the creature and the Horrors. In order to prevent a worst case happening, the Watchdog also assigns a group of selected young professionals: Sliver Green, a stern and aloof wolf-based Faunus who inherits the BARON armor; Beret Vali, a noble and a strict by-the-book type Makai Knight who bears DAN armor; and Rachel Grey, a Makai Priestess who loves playing sitar and eating sweets.
Under the name of team SSBR (read: Saber), together they must unravel the dark secrets within the Kingdom of Vale and the whole Remnant, as well to find out those who responsible for Darkus' unsealing.
An upcoming sequel, titled GARO: Remnant Knight
is announced.
- In Civ V, India is surprisingly bloodknight-ish as it is more nuke happy than even the Aztecs
This isn't an English correction: you can make bloodknight-ish a Wiki Word (Blood Knight-ish).
- nuke happy -> nuke-happy
- This sentence needs a period at the end (Aztecs.)
- Due to its extensive customization options, it's possible for a player in Civ 5 to pick a civilization with a Unique Ability that gives them no real benefits in a fight and were historically more peaceful than other civs; play as a bloodknight with the civ they chose; and still wipe the floor with civilizations that fought more in Real Life.
- civilization with a Unique Ability that gives them no real benefits in a fight and were historically -> was historically
- I believe those semi-colons should be commas.
as above: bloodknight -> Blood Knight

Adding the new trope for GARO: SSBR of Makai
- Adaptational Badass: Jaune Arc in canon RWBY story has very little skill during the entire initiation except during the fight against the bigger Grimms, but over the course of story he managed to show himself as a competent fighter. In this fic however, not only he become competent like in the canon story, but also grown up as a fully fledged Makai Knight by inheriting his grandfather's title as GAIA the Stronghold Knight. He demonstrates this by single handedly defeats a Horror infested Ursa.
- Some of Beacon Academy staffs also become this, as they are working for Makai Order, despite their true capabilities are yet to be shown.
- Qrow Branwen, while still being a teacher of Signal Academy and a Huntsman like in the original story, he is a member of Phantom Knights, the Makai Order's black ops team and the bearer of CROW the Phantom Knight title. He's also the one who teach Ruby how to wield a Soul Metal weapon.
- Adaptation Species Change: Penny Polendina in the original RWBY story is an android. In this fic, she is a humanoid Madogu.
- As Long as There Is Evil: Both Grimms and Horrors are deemed to exist as long as human malice is present in peoples' hearts, and therefore there must always be Makai Knights to fight them.
- Battle Couple: Sirius and Ruby develop into this over the course of story, but the most notable is when Ruby gains the YAIBA armor for the first time.
- Big Bad: While Torchwick, Cinder and her brother Flare is the force behind the story (though the first two still retain the role from the original series), Salem is actually the one who responsible for the whole mess. Not only that, she has a loyal apprentice who wields the title KIBA the Dark Knight.
- Bodyguarding a Badass: Though the "badass" word is questionable, all members of Team SSBR are essentially acting as Beacon Academy's elite guard, especially for Team RWBY.
- Brand X: With a little dash of No Celebrities Were Harmed, there's a minor team in Chapter 16 named JAMM.
- Chick Magnet: Despite being a newcomer for Beacon Academy, Sirius' charismatic nature pretty much attracts any female students, including Ruby herself, though he's too cool to embrace this status.
- Cool Horse: As in the original TV series, Gouten is a cool signature mechanical steed for GARO.
- Counterpart Comparison: In-Universe example. Makai people are exactly similar with the Huntsmen, although the former prefer going into action in night.
- Demon Slaying: Huntsmen and Huntresses are elite warriors dedicated to slay the creatures of Grimm and whose duty is to "uphold the peace" of their world. Makai Knights, on the other hand, not only to "uphold the peace" like the Huntsmen and Huntresses did by slaying Horrors, but also to protect human hearts from evil malice.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: Holy crap for Sliver. Even though he's still young, he gives Jaune a draconian yet effective methods to make him an extremely competent fighter, as both Huntsman and a Makai Knight.
Sliver: I will not be holding your hand through this training. I will not spoil you and not being soft to you. If you want strength, you do as I say. If you want power, you will stand there and take it. If you want to live, then don't die! This will be two weeks of Hell arc, and by all that is I will make you into a Makai Knight. Do you understand?
- The Heartless: Grimms and Horrors are attracted to human negativity. Sadness, envy, loneliness, hatred, every single negative emotions of humanity. However, Horrors is even more dangerous Grimms, because the latter also including any dark aspects of humanity, such as lust and temptation.
- Luminescent Blush: Happens often for Sirius and Ruby when Rachel and Yang constantly tease them, suggesting them to be a sweet couple.
- Sole Survivor: Sliver's family was massacred by Cinder and Flare, alongside with villagers he and his family lived.
- Squee: As expected from her character, Ruby has a tendency to do this.
- Shipper on Deck: Yang and Rachel take this role, as they try to persuade Sirius and Ruby to confess their feelings to each other. Luminescent Blush ensues for them.
- Took a Level in Badass: Compared to his canon self, Jaune takes this Up To Eleven by taking his grandfather's role as GAIA the Stronghold Knight. See also Adaptational Badass above for explanation
- Ruby also gets this one after she inherits YAIBA armor, becoming the second wielder of said Makai Armor. Not only that, her Semblance also imbued with YAIBA's fire power, and as a result her rose petals become engulfed in flames, effectively increasing her combat perfomance.
- You Can Talk?: Weiss shocked with a Horror infested Grimm can talk to her and the rest of Team RWBY and SSBR.
- Wise Beyond Their Years: Despite being in 15-17 years old, all members of Team SSBR are upholding a complex yet mature philosophical principles of human hearts.

- Is 'Watchdog of Vale Kingdom' a title, or just a role?
- Which part of the sentence does this especially belong to? They are assigned to investigate the whereabouts of Darkus, especially Team RWBY. They are protecting students from Grimms and Horrors, especially Team RWBY. Or maybe: They, especially Team RWBY, do stuff. Ambiguous sentence.
- Who is the person(s) he is not friendly to?
- Media is already plural.
- Is he an expy of all these people? An expy is a dead ringer, usually.
- Remove 'with' if you wish to imply they rolled around.
- The 'h' is silent.
- Alternate fix: he is a Levelheaded and Charismatic —> he is Levelheaded and Charismatic.
- Please finish this sentence?
- Are there one or two huntsmen?
- I am not sure how to fix this one. What, specifically is she crying over?
- Is there a reason this phrase is in scare quotes?
- Is this enough reason to call Weiss a spear counterpart?
- I do not know your meaning with this sentence.
- I am not sure how to fix this one either. What do you want to say specifically?
Criticism and comments are always welcome.

1. "Is 'Watchdog of Vale Kingdom' a title, or just a role?" - That's the role for a person behind the works of the war between Makai and Horror. Do you ever watch GARO series before? That's a Japanese superhero, but for adults.
2. "Which part of the sentence does this especially belong to? They are assigned to investigate the whereabouts of Darkus, especially Team RWBY. They are protecting students from Grimms and Horrors, especially Team RWBY. Or maybe: They, especially Team RWBY, do stuff. Ambiguous sentence." - The fanfic itself depicting Team SSBR always get along with Team RWBY.
- Game-Breaker: several battle gears and passives are this, but let's have a list for each faction.
- Dragon Clan
- Kabuki Warrior's Flash Powder can be considered annoying for any enemies or players. What making annoying is blinds them and weaken their resistance with AOE effect, it can boost your yang points and obliterate your enemies quickly. It's not surprised why Kabuki Warriors is considered top priority to kill them first. They only real drawback is you must command Kabuki Warrior to near them to use its Battle Gear.
- Samurai's passive ability, Seppuku, is pretty devastating. The catch? You will paranoid them quickly when they coming in en masses and will soon find out that they use their passive ability to weaken your armie's HP so pretty much. The only way to prevent any damage from their passive ability is Staff Adept's Dark Canopy.
- Otomo's passive ability, Battle Leader. As long as he is attacking enemies, your units will be fiiled with stamina, allow your units to use Battle Gear. It can be synergized with Issyl's Battle Gear, Haste, to making him become a nigh-endless stamina filler! Also works with the three brother from Lotus Clan.
- Dragon Clan
PS. This edit is not finished yet, I will coming back soon to edit this again.

Hi! If you are wondering why we are not editing your example, it is because you have said you are not done editing it yourself. Do you mean you will add to the example later?

Due to the large number of edits, there is a good chance I misguessed once or twice and corrected to the wrong sentence.
Feedback is welcome.

I want to add this trope in OnS, but I need to check the grammar first:
- Failed a Spot Check: In chapter 44, Yuu says that he didn't notice Ferid in Shinjuku battle(who was right besides Mika) because his mind was entirely focused on Mika after meeting him again. He believed Mika died with the other Hyakuya kids on Ferid hands until Shinjuku battle.
- Failed a Spot Check: In chapter 44, Yuu says that he didn't notice Ferid in Shinjuku battle(who was right besides Mika) because his mind was entirely focused on Mika after meeting him again. He believed Mika died with the other Hyakuya kids on Ferid hands until Shinjuku battle.
- in Shinjuku battle -> in the Shinjuku battle
- battle(who -> battle (who
- who was right besides Mika -> who was right beside Mika
- He believed Mika died -> He believed that Mika died
- on Ferid hands -> at Ferid's hands (?)
- until Shinjuku battle. -> until the Shinjuku battle.
The word order in both sentences needs to be changed to make them clearer:
With all the above changes:
- Failed a Spot Check: In chapter 44, Yuu says that he didn't notice Ferid (who was right beside Mika) in the Shinjuku battle because his mind was entirely focused on Mika after meeting him again. Until the Shinjuku battle, he believed that Mika died with the other Hyakuya kids at Ferid's hands.
