I don't own RWBY
Ozpin opened his door, he still hadn't managed to remove the pen, and suspected that some heavy tools would be needed, maybe he would just install a peep hole instead of replacing the door. It would do and would save him having to dispose of the door, but back to pressing matters, Ruby was practically screaming about them all being gone, her team and team JNPR, she had taken a little time to collect some stuff for study after the assembly and when she went to her dorm they were all gone. "Weiss and Yang were sick or something and so I had Blake bunk with JNPR to avoid spreading it, but Weiss and Yang weren't in bed like they should have been so I checked with JNPR but they weren't there either, so I looked around a bit but couldn't find them, what do I do?" Ruby said swiftly and surprisingly all in one breath.
She must be really concerned, never mind that he was too, they were his best teams but to have not taken Ruby with them, to track her down would take to long, the cameras were due to come back on soon. Whoever was doing this was smart to go with strong, fast and skilled. Worse his staff had gone to bed and he had no idea where to search, he had the girl sit down and called the night watch, which should be arriving now to fire up the cameras again, whoever was doing this knew the schedule of this place scary well, he was also beginning to suspect it was more than one person, the sudden loss of so many students that fast couldn't be one person could it. He hadn't met someone that fast in a long time, even Ruby wasn't close to the same speed, and the last person he knew that fast had died fighting Grimm, like so many of his friends.
The truth was that Foxy still controlled Ruby. Deception was her game, the fox dies when its deception fails. She disguised her excitement as distress, she could almost taste victory, which was one reason she kept her hood up. The other being that her ears and tail were finally responding, someone had taught this kid she was human, at first Foxy thought they had been removed and only after eighteen hours of control did she finally begin to feel them, it was weird that Ruby had so thoroughly though that she was human that her own features had been hidden, like her talent for deception had be used to make her believe in herself being human.
After Ozpin sat her down with a cup of hot chocolate, presumably to calm her, she made some effort showing her terror subsiding then slowly began to sip. Ozpin was to distracted to notice the brief slip of character and when his attention shifted back she had drained the cup, she still showed concern but not terror, Foxy was improvising , trying to hide her real emotions behind the ones that were in character and then began to slip into character a bit better, she could blame any slips on terror later, for now the finishing touches of the 'persuasion' needed to be played right or this would fall apart.
Ozpin got the cameras back and began to search the campus, with no success, then some of his forest cameras, again nothing, finally he gave, he called a staff member who hadn't gone to bed yet to escort Ruby to her room. He took out the document he had written that morning and signed it then locked it in his safe, with a bio-metric lock then he went and posted a note on the pen, it was as neutral a place for him to post as he could think of, he couldn't make this a public thing and cause a panic, the note read " I need proof that my students will be returned to school and that you will never threaten their safety again, once I have that I will ratify the rules as you demand."
His admission of defeat was audible to Foxy from down the hall, just the way he walked spoke all she needed to know, when she got back to her dorm and the teacher left she got ready to go get his note, she had to know the terms of his surrender to accept, but first she had to wait for the night watch to get bored, then she realized, its poker night, she evaded the cameras and cut the power to the whole campus rather than hit the central system again, got the note, wrote her response and posted it, then the power came back on and Ruby dodged cameras all the way back to her room.
The next morning Foxy turned Velvet loose, she would remember the least as went down first, she would remember darkness and dampness but that was it, Ozpin would then be obligated to post the rules amendment and then Foxy would release the others, then make a move on Glynda to force Ruby's action. Ozpin was honor bound now not to block her, and that meant she had won, but there was a catch she would have to meet Ozpin face to face admitting who she was to sign the exchanges pledges. So during free time she got a tight suit and mask to protect Ruby and went to sign the pledge, Ozpin had best not double cross her.
Ruby finally gave up waiting it out and began to fight again right as Ozpin and Foxy finished signing the pledges so she saw when Ozpin signed another paper and posted it in the courtyard during class, the look of defeat he wore. Foxy slowly walked to the tree line then sped to the caveS and unbound her friends, what had happened in the last 3 days, she felt the exhaustion of her body, no sleep in three days, she must look awful, even her nemesis was there team CRDL, beaten and bound, they were freed first as they were to cowardly to fight Foxy again, she told them to free the others and return to campus. Then the world blurred again, she was back at campus just barely hidden by the trees, "they have been freed, let this be the end of this matter."
Blur again and she was looking at herself in the bathroom mirror, dressed as perfectly normal Ruby...since when did she have fox ears and a tail. That was weird, Foxy tucked her tail under her skirt and put up her hood hiding both oddities then left the dorm, Ruby sensed something was up and tried to take over again and slowly gained ground again but felt that the damage would be done.
As she saw Glynda she lost almost all control at the shock, whoever was controlling her body walked up to Glynda grabbed her around the waist and kissed her, a deep passionate kiss like one lovers would share, Ruby thought she would die of embarrassment and shrank back , then Foxy let go of her control willingly, and Ruby fell to the ground Glynda to stunned to catch her and blushing the color of Ruby's hood.
At last the set up is complete, Ruby is back in charge and has some explaining to do!
