RWBY: Entranced In Luminous Lust Chapter 10: The Queen Of Grimm, a rwby fanfic

The Queen Of The Grimm

Things would never be the same, and it was all because of the ring. Without anyone in team RWBY trying to stop her anymore, the world was finally hers.

That annoying woman was no longer a problem and there was nothing in the way. Eyes glowing red, the Queen of Grimm smiled wickedly.

Salem rose from her seat, stretching her arms and cracking her neck.

"It's time."

Weiss walked towards her destination with purpose. She traveled through the outskirts, eventually leaving society as a whole.

'It's time...'

"Fine...

...I'll let you hypnotize me."

Weiss shook her head, forcing the memory out of her mind.

'It's best not to get caught up to thinking about that right now.'

Weiss stood alone, waiting in the open field. It was the location chosen by the woman she intended to meet...

"You really came alone. To think you'd be brave enough to meet me here. Either that or you're more of a fool than I thought." A voice said from behind her.

Weiss turned her body and looked into Salem's red eyes.

Weiss scanned the area. "What about you? Where are your friends?"

"None of my minions are here, you won't be able to hypnotize anyone to help you. Not that I can't fight you alone." Salem said knowingly, walking forward with slow, menacing steps.

Weiss's eyebrows creased. She glanced down to Myrtenaster and back at Salem.

"Don't. Even. Think. About it." the dark goddess threatened, her red intimidating gaze forcing the huntress to freeze.

"I don't want to fight, I came here to talk."

"Ah, she wants a peaceful conversation. Do humor me. What was it you wanted, little one?"

Salem took another step forward, and Weiss put her hands in front of her, away from her weapon and taking a step back. "I have an offer."

"What could an unworthy human like yourself possibly offer me?"

"My body, as a vessel. You mentioned it when you took control over me. That's what you planned. It's an easier way to get to the relic."

"And what would you want in return?"

"I'll get you the relic, and let you have my body. I just ask that you don't hurt anyone in Atlus."

Salem chuckled.

"That's quite amusing. You had to cut ties and travel alone to protect your friends. And now you wish to give your life just to save them? Some may think of you as a noble person. But really, you're just a fool."

Salem's eyes narrowed and she walked forward at a brisker pace. Weiss stumbled backwards, caught by Salem's firm grasp on her hair. She lifted her up with one hand, staring her down with her red eyes.

"I do pity you. When my subordinates found out you were alive, I saw to it that I would deal with you and your friends myself. To my surprise, you were all alone."

"Leave them out of this."

"Leave them out of this, you say?" The Grimm woman lifted her higher, sizing her up. "Hmmph..." The evil immortal smiled, amused by the small huntress's frail helplessness. "...And why would I do that?"

"Because...you're scared. That's why you've been so cautious. You're vulnerable to something, aren't you?" Salem's expression grew displeased, but she let Weiss continue speaking. "If you cooperate with me you won't have to meet Ruby at all and we both will get what we want."

Her eyes glowed red and she tightened her grip on Weiss's white hair.

"What would stop me from taking your frail body right now with nothing in return...and then dealing with your friends immediately after?!" Her threat loomed over Weiss, rage filling her voice. Salem took a deep breath and calmed herself. "You misunderstand me. I'm not like you. I have no fear. Now-"

"L-Luminous!" Weiss screamed, raising her hand and pointing the light directly at Salem's eyes.

Salem winced and threw her away furiously. Weiss landed with a violent thud, grunting in pain.

"You brat. You think you can beat me with the inferior version of a borrowed power? MY POWER? Was that your plan?! That won't work on me. I'm the Queen of the Grimm."

"That...wasn't...the plan." Weiss stated, getting back up with a smile.

The sound of a .50 Caliber sniper rifle echoed through the air before hitting Salem squarely in the head. She staggered back, but was unharmed.

"You!" Salem hissed.

"Fine...

...I'll let you hypnotize me."

"So you finally accept it. We can all move forward." Weiss undid the glyphs binding her and Ruby sat up carefully, still recovering from the rough sex they just had.

Ruby shook her head. "No, this won't go the way you have planned."

"What?"

"I'll let you hypnotize me, but it won't be to make me or anyone else forget about you." Ruby paused.

"I don't understand. You said-"

"Let me finish! You said it wasn't enough. You said you want to do more. Then do it. Unleash it all on me. Every dark desire you have. Drag me down with you."

"You can't be serious. I did this to fix things, and you'd have me make them worse? Did you understand anything I said!?"

"I understood everything. This is the only other way. Weiss...just please listen?"

"Please? I'm the one who should be asking that. I don't want to hurt you."

"I've endured this much. How much worse can it possibly be?"

Weiss shook her head left and right. "A lot worse."

"It's only temporary."

"Ruby, I-I don't want to do that to you. What would the others think?"

"You can make it so they won't argue with you."

Weiss was in awe and disgust, but this twisted part of her thought about other things. 'The things I could do to her...'

Weiss shook her head and refocused. "It wasn't supposed to end like this."

"Not everything has been working out the way we want, you know that as much as I do."

"I'm scared...what if I can't control myself?"

"Don't control yourself. I see the pain everything has caused you now. You don't have to hold back. I'm not some frail helpless girl. I can handle it."

"You're insane. Why would you do this for me?"

"No you are insane for thinking suicide is a better option. If you think that's what's best, then you don't not realize how much I care about you! How many times do I have to say it, Weiss? I love you."

Weiss stood up, holding her temples. "I...I don't know about this."

Ruby grabbed her arm and forced her to turn around.

"Even after what you just did, I haven't changed my mind. You'd have to basically kill me to have things your way. Don't run from this."

'Kill you?...You'd go that far?' The white haired girl looked back at her, at a loss for words. "I did underestimate you...I'm sorry." She stared down at her finger, summoning the ring with a small glyph once more. "Is this really okay?"

"Yes. You want this too right? It's okay. Do it." Ruby broke the silence, cutting through Weiss's hesitation.

Weiss pointed her hand towards Ruby.

Salem launched a beam from her hand towards Ruby.

Ruby used her semblance to dodge it, hastily grabbing Weiss and then retreating a few feet back.

Salem used her other hand to shoot another beam towards them, landing a direct hit on what should have been Ruby's forehead. But the illusion disappeared. Blake's semblance had tricked her.

Blake approached from the right, sliding under Salem's next magic beam and hooking her tether around her. She swung around Salem quickly and bound her with the cord from Gambol Shroud.

At the same time, from behind, Salem heard a shotgun blast and turned her head, ripping Blake's tether around her with ease. She saw Yang mid-air flying towards her.

Because of the time it took her to break free from Blake's tether, Yang was able to get a clean punch onto her cheek.

Blake and Yang jumped back, and the team RWBY stood together in front of their mortal enemy.

Salem didn't even stagger back from the punch, let alone fall. "I was misinformed."

"Your subordinates that were tailing me were pretty easy to hypnotize." Weiss commented.

"I'll have to deal with them after I kill you then."

Weiss turned her head to look at Ruby, to see what she was doing.

Ruby had her eyes closed and tried to focus. 'She's not ready.' Weiss thought, clenching her teeth.

"It's unfortunate isn't it?" Weiss asked.

"The only unfortunate thing is I can only watch your pesky annoying life wither away once."

Salem struck again, a wide magic beam launching towards her.

Weiss dodged, using glyphs to speed up her evasion, focusing on defense rather than attack.

Salem smiled, realizing what was happening. "How long are you planning on stalling? What if I were to do this then?" Salem quickly raised her hand and fired another beam directly at Ruby, but Weiss tackled Ruby, pushing her out of harm's way. Blake and Yang stood in front, guarding them.

"She's onto us." Weiss whispered towards Ruby, pulling her behind a large boulder to keep them covered.

Ruby opened her eyes, a flicker of silver light, and then nothing. "I-I'm having trouble."

"That's okay. We'll buy you some time."

Ruby nodded and creased her eyebrows, trying to focus.

"I grow tired of these games..." Salem breathed in deeply and then screamed, shaking the very earth beneath their feet. Pools of Grimm started to bubble up en masse around them.

"Any day now sis." Yang stated in a grim sarcasm, reloading her shotguns.

"NOT helping!" Ruby retorted, blinking a few times to try to force her eyes to work..

"Just let her focus! You can do it Ruby." Weiss assured her.

"We'll be busy. There's a flood of Grimm coming."

The 3 stood around Ruby, protecting her and staving off the Grimm.

'Don't think about them. Think about the people who love you. Focus on the thought of them, the way they make you feel. Focus!' Marie's words during the Apathy incident echoed in her mind.

Ruby opened her eyes, frustrated. She slammed her fist against the rock, still unable to use her eyes.

She looked up, turning to Weiss, seeing her battle her heart out.

'For her...'

The battle raced on and the 3 struggled to keep Salem at Bay. Ruby started to fight the Grimm herself. She was still trying to focus on activating her eyes, even as she did.

Salem walked towards the group as they fended off various grimm, carefully watching the Boulder Ruby was behind and using the Grimm as meat shields.

Yang charged forward before getting shoved back by Grimm. She screamed in pain, getting knocked into Blake as well. Finally a beam of Salem's pure magical energy took a direct hit on Weiss who also screamed.

Salem ran past them, going around the rock to get rid of the real threat.

She turned the corner and revealed...nothing. Then a flash of light in the corner of her vision. She turned to her left, nothing. Then another flash of light. Salem gasped, eyes wide and she turned behind her quick enough to see Ruby's glowing silver eyes right as they struck her with their blinding light. Salem just barely managed to raise her arms to shield herself.

The dark mother of Grimm screamed in an inhuman pitch, her cry of pain making all the Grimm freeze and tremble in fear.

Salem's arms both fell and she went on one knee. Her hands and arms had partly become stone, and black grim ooze dripped from them like an open wound. She was clearly in pain.

Ruby's eyes flickered back to normal and the weakened goddess's expression was in a mix of pain and anger.

Within moments, all the Grimm had started to run away, scattering in all directions. The Grimm blood started to pool into a small puddle below her, but she didn't waver.

Blake got up. The Faunus was fairly uninjured. She quickly ran to Yang and helped her up. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Weiss?" Yang answered, untangling her messy blonde hair.

"I'm fine." Weiss stabbed Myrtenaster into the ground to support herself, dirt covering her smooth porcelain skin. But even through her fatigue, she smiled at Ruby. "I knew we could count on you."

Ruby blushed, nodding. "Yeah..." She said, but she kept her eyes fixed on Salem, ensuring she didn't do anything.

Weiss walked forward, gritting her teeth in rage.

"If you don't want to die? You'll do what I ask."

"And...urgh...what is that?"

"Undo what you've done to me. This evil taint the ring has etched into me needs to be completely undone. Now."

Salem chuckled, seemingly unphased. "You mean to say your little girlfriend was able to remove my control over you, but not whatever desires the ring brought with it? Ahahahaha..."

"What's so funny?"

"Don't you find that strange?"

"..." Weiss clicked her tongue. "What are you trying to say?!" She demanded, standing en garde and pointing her blade threateningly at Salem's neck.

"It means you've already considered those things as part of you. I may not control you at this moment, but that doesn't change how much you've been corrupted. You've even come here to offer yourself to me."

"We've come here to stop you for good." Weiss snapped back, pressing her sword against Salem's neck.

Salem looked at the sword and laughed. "You may think you've come here on your own accord. But as long as I walk in this realm, you'll be drawn to me!"

Weiss's hand started to tremble and she bit her lip, having difficulty holding her sword.

"Why are your hands shaking? You don't really want to kill me? Do you?"

"T-That's not true!" Weiss choked out the words, convincing not even herself.

"Is that so...my pet?" Salem said, and Weiss felt herself stagger. Her eyes dimmed, flickering red.

"It's...It's not true.." Weiss repeated, her arm trembling more noticeably.

"I won't loosen this grip I have on you until I die, and that's a shame for you. Is this sword supposed to kill me? Do you not know I'm immortal?" Salem scoffed.

"There are other ways to make you release your control on her." Ruby stated, holding Weiss's arm to comfort her. "We won't lose to you."

"Oh it's your girlfriend." Salem said blankly.

"What?! Nevermind, it doesn't matter! How would you like to live eternity as a statue?" Ruby threatened, blushing from Salem's strange way of addressing her.

"What could you possibly do? Your weak eyes weren't able to stop me. I can feel my body regenerating already. You're less of a threat than I expected."

"Cinder had parts of her infused with Grimm. But you had your entire body infused with Grimm, didn't you?" Yang asked.

"...And that's why you've been hunting anyone with silver eyes." Blake added.

Salem's eyes glowed, narrowing in a quiet simmering rage. She refused to address anything they said and scanned her enemies.

"The relic showed us your past." Ruby said, breaking the silence. "That wasn't my full power. We know your weakness."

Salem's eyes glowed brighter and a red laser immediately shot from them, hitting Weiss squarely in the stomach and knocking her back. She landed on her side with a cry.

"Weiss!" Ruby screamed, turning away. Salem started to sprint away, her arms dangling like dead weights in front of her. She tried to move her fingers, but they could barely tremble. "Tch."

"We'll take care of Weiss, stop her!" Yang commanded.

The younger sister nodded, turning and using her semblance to cut Salem off. She used her silver eyes, blasting her with more power than she had ever mustered before.

Salem howled in pain, falling face first onto the floor. With one eye closed, she forced her head up, her eyes still glowing a grimm red.

"I-Impossible! How can you have so much power?! You...YOU BRAT!" Salem screamed before one final flash of blinding light silenced her for good.

Once the light died out, all that was left was a frozen statue of the dark goddess immortalized in her weak final moments.

From behind her, the other 3 joined. They couldn't believe it. There was a moment of heavy silence. Awestruck disbelief melted away into joy. Blake was the first to speak, laughing to herself.

"It's done." Blake said. "It's really done."

"Sis, we did it." Yang added gleefully.

Ruby turned to see the 3 of them and nodded.

Overwhelmed with joy, Weiss hugged Ruby. "Ruby, you did it."

"No, we did it together." Ruby corrected.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." Weiss teared up, feeling free for the first time.

The group reassembled and checked for any injuries, patching themselves up and starting a plan for their return.

"Now all that's left is to unhypnotize everyone." Weiss stated.

"Everyone? I thought it was just Ruby?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, what are you talking about Weiss?" Yang questioned as well.

"Oh yeah..." Weiss took a step back, a guilty expression on her face.

"It was my idea. It's okay. She'll fix everything. It will all make sense once she undoes everything. Just trust us and-"

"Fine... but she better do it right now." Yang said, a vague memory pushing itself to her mind's surface. It made her wary of the situation.

"That would be for the best." Blake agreed, feeling a bit uncomfortable about it as well.

"I promise, it'll only take a second. I won't do anything else." Weiss reassured them.

Yang looked nervous and Blake held her lover's hand to comfort her.

Ruby looked at Weiss and Weiss gave a small nod. Ruby looked at Weiss thoughtfully, smiling and nodding back after a moment.

"You have a lot of explaining to do once this is all over."

"Okay..." Weiss summoned the ring, pointing it at the rest of the team.

"Luminous."

The 3 of them stood, quietly awaiting Weiss's instructions.

"I won't need to explain a thing."

"Are you really okay with it? Making them forget everything that happened?" Weiss asked.

"It's no different from what you did already. There's no need for any of us to bear these memories. Once we defeat Salem, you'll delete all our memories of the ring and what it did. My only worry is that you'll have to bear these memories alone afterwards."

Weiss had a melancholic smile growing on the corner of her lip. "I have enough to bear already. I'll be fine. It wasn't all bad. The memories with you will keep me warm forever."

Ruby blushed a bit. "You're such a dolt."

"Don't steal my line." Weiss's smile shifted to uncertainty"...Can we finally be a team again once this is all over?"

"Yes. All of us will be together."

"Together?" The white haired girl asked hopefully.

Ruby held Weiss's hand and Weiss felt their unbreakable bond.

"Together."

"You'll all forget everything. Any memory of this ring and what it has done to any of us will be erased from your memories. We defeated Salem to prevent her from obtaining the relics. Nothing more. Once you wake up we'll all go home and report our victory. Understood?"

"Yes, Weiss." They collectively acknowledged.

Breathing a final sigh of relief, Weiss woke them up.

Blake blinked a few times, re-orienting herself. Her ears twitched a bit and she shook her head. "Huh...did I zone out?"

Yang looked a bit puzzled as well. She couldn't help but think she had forgotten something. She shrugged it off, holding her girlfriend's hand. "It was a hard fight. We probably just need to rest."

Ruby didn't move for a few moments, but eventually looked behind her and then turned to see Salem's solidified body.

Weiss studied Ruby's expression and saw bags under her eyes. "You look tired. Are you alright?"

"Yeah. It was hard to sleep. That's all. But it's over now isn't it?"

"It is." Weiss affirmed.

Ruby walked to Salem's stone body, kneeling down in front of it. "Is it really okay to leave her here?" She called back at the group, turning her head in their direction before observing Salem's body one last time. She slid her hand over Salem's arm, feeling a twinge of repulsion in her body. The puddle of Grimm, still boiled in a black opaqueness underneath the woman's body.

"She's not going anywhere. We'll call an evacuation crew once we're in communication range from Atlas. Ironwood will get things sorted out and lock her up somewhere. But for now, it could be dangerous. Get away from there. Let's go." Weiss called back.

"Yeah, let's get out of here before more Grimm show up." Ruby rushed back over to the group, smiling. "I want to get home ASAP and celebrate with cookies!"

"Aye-eye captain." Yang jokingly followed her order.

"You're in a good mood babe." Blake giggled.

"We're the saviours of Remnant! How can I not be?"

A few hours later, the team sorted things out with Ironwood, and they finally got a good night's rest. Morning came, and things were quiet. Ruby, Blake, and Yang were finishing up breakfast.

"It does feel nice but...eh," Yang started, pausing to show her disappointment.

"But what?"

"It's just a bit of a shame that we didn't get anything for, you know, saving the world."

"I mean...It's not like we did this for fame or money, right?" Blake emphasized, putting her used tea cup in the dishwasher.

"I just wanted to take my kitty out on a nice vacation."

"I'm perfectly happy being anywhere with you." Blake purred, wiggling her ears delightedly.

"Aw, you two are so cute." Ruby giddily hopped in place, gushing at their romance.

"I'd say get a room, but you have one already." Weiss jokingly jabbed at them as she walked into the kitchen.

"Oh hey, you're finally up. You sleep okay?" Ruby asked, looking fairly concerned.

"It was a long day. I think I just needed to sleep. I'm feeling great this morning." Weiss replied with a genuine smile.

Ruby's expression softened, knowing the white haired huntress's emotions quite well by now. There was a comforting authenticity to her demeanor.

"Good to hear, take it easy today ice queen. We're going for a walk and to get some alone time. Unless you want to see us make out." Yang winked.

Blake's face became red. "Yang!"

Weiss's eyes widened and she blushed in shame, remembering her times with the two. "Um...N-No thanks."

"Yang, you can't keep doing that!" Blake whined again.

"I'm just joking! Let's go babe."

"See you later." Blake said, waving her hand. "Sorry about that." Blake whispered.

"No problem, see you." Weiss responded, taking a seat on the dining room table.

"You want some coffee?" Ruby asked from the kitchen.

"I'll pass." Weiss yawned.

Ruby peaked her head around the corner, raising her eyebrow with a knowing smile. "You sure sleepy head? I can make enough for the both of us."

Weiss rolled her eyes.

"Oh alright, if you insist. Don't you dare drown it in sugar."

"Yes M-Ma'am." Ruby gave a playful little salute, blushing a bit.

Ruby returned with the two coffees and sat in front of Weiss on the other side of the table, and the two shared their coffee together.

"You know, it's nice to finally relax after all that."

"Yeah, defeating Salem must have lifted a large weight off your shoulders." Ruby agreed.

'She didn't add cream? It's super black. I usually don't like it when it is this bitter. But it's quite good.'

"Maybe I needed the coffee after all. I'm feeling a lot better." Weiss stirred the coffee, suddenly craving it. She took another sip.

"Well I didn't drown it in sugar this time."

"Thanks. You're really a lot more mature these days."

"Well, being around you has helped."

"Oh stop it, you're just flattering me."

"Haha~ Maybe I am. But it's true. You've done a lot for me."

"Well, you've done quite a bit yourself. We couldn't have defeated Salem without you."

Weiss smiled for a moment, loving Ruby's laugh. It was moments like these that made her fall in love with the dolt in the first place. But now, that same warm closeness hurt her. 'Guess I'm not quite over her yet. But this is for the best.'

"Are you okay Weiss?"

"Yeah, of course!"

Ruby pouted, squinting her eyes.

"You don't have to bear with things yourself, you know? You can-"

"I can talk to you?" Weiss interrupted.

"Well, yeah."

"I know I can. If I need to I will. I just need some time, that's all." Weiss assured her. "A lot has happened lately. I want all of us to just move on from this whole fiasco."

"Move on? Move on to what?"

"I don't know. But you saw it too right? The Grimm all ran scared. Without Salem leading them. I think we'll be out of a job. Maybe I'll go back to singing. Whatever makes me happy."

"Huh...That's pretty vague. I guess it's a cute little optimistic view." Ruby answered thoughtfully.

"I guess that's because we're together..." Weiss blushed. "And I'm happy as long as that's true."

Ruby smiled, dreamily staring into Weiss's eyes. "That makes me really happy too."

Weiss forced herself to smile, ignoring the pain in her chest. Seeing the woman she'll never have in front of her constantly would be a pain for some time.

Ruby's expression became more empathetic.

"It's fake this time." Ruby observed.

"What is?"

"Your smile."

"Umm...I'm fine really." Weiss sipped her coffee, coughing a bit. "That's pretty bitter."

"You don't have to bear this alone."

"I don't want to talk about it. It's nothing really."

"Weiss. We said we'd do this together right? I'm here for you Weiss, you should realize that."

"Yeah. Wait...what are you talking about?"

Weiss put her cup down and she tensed up. Ruby's eyes seemed to pierce through her.

"I'll help you with these memories you bear.."

"What memories?" Weiss coughed again, feeling more uneasy.

Ruby stood up, glancing at the table before looking straight to Weiss, leaning in with her palms pressed to the table.

"The memories of what really happened. The memories of the Grimm ring."

Ruby stared into the ring's light, letting it overtake her consciousness.

She felt her consciousness sink into her own mind. Something she felt was oddly familiar. But one stray powerful thought remained.

'She's going to bring things back to normal, and erase what has happened...We'll all finally be free.'

When Ruby felt her consciousness resurface. Weiss was looking focused on the others and her memories rushed in. 'What happened? How come I'm awake? How did I break trance? Why?'

Weiss started her demands.

Ruby tensed up her fingers slightly. But quickly relaxed them.

'I-I can't let her find out.' Ruby quickly fell into line and answered, same as the rest of them.

"Yes, Weiss." They collectively acknowledged.

After Ruby revealed the truth about her retained memories, there was a moment of lingering silence in the dining room. It was just Ruby and Weiss, and that knowledge led Weiss to a strange discomfort.

Weiss tried to put the pieces together. But nothing made sense. What was worse was she was starting to feel weak and dizzy. Weiss put her coffee down.

"How do you know about that?" Weiss tried to stand herself, but found her body was struggling to do so. Something was sapping away her aura.

Ruby rushed to her side and caught her, letting her gracefully lower to the floor. Ruby sat on the ground, letting her head rest on her chest.

"Shhh...relax." Ruby soothed her. "I didn't know why either at first. But I quickly came to realize what had happened. Your ring didn't work on me. I broke out of your hypnosis."

"How? It worked. I thought it worked. Why?"

"I made it appear that away."

"But why?..." Weiss coughed again. "Why didn't you tell me?" She looked into Ruby's cold, unwelcoming gaze. "What was in the coffee Ruby?" For the first time she suspected the redhead had done something.

"I didn't want you to find out, because I broke out of the same way I did last time. Just for a different reason."

"Ruby...I don't understand. Urghh...I can hardly move. Get me help. What was in the coffee?"

Ruby ignored the question again.

"I broke out because I love you. I am helping you. You don't have to move at all." Ruby tightened her embrace, stopping Weiss from trying to move.

"What?" Weiss became flustered, but Ruby's unsettling gaze was giving her mixed emotions.

"The thought of losing you was too much."

"I'm...I'm right here." The white haired huntress said in confusion.

"I know. But...hmmm...how can I say this?...When I used my silver eyes you saw I had trouble right?"

"Yeah."

"I initially really did think of us all, protecting team RWBY and bringing things back to how they were. But it didn't work."

"But it did. Once you got it working you took down Salem yourself."

Ruby shook her head, a devilish smile spreading across her face. "No, that's because I started thinking about what I really love and what I really wanted to protect."

"I grow tired of these games..." Salem breathed in deeply and then screamed, shaking the very earth beneath their feet. Pools of Grimm started to bubble up en masse around them.

"Any day now sis." Yang stated in a grim sarcasm, reloading her shotguns.

"NOT helping!" Ruby retorted, blinking a few times to try to force her eyes to work.

"Just let her focus! You can do it Ruby." Weiss assured her.

"We'll be busy. There's a flood of Grimm coming."

The 3 stood around Ruby, protecting her and staving off the Grimm.

'Don't think about them. Think about the people who love you. Focus on the thought of them, the way they make you feel. Focus!' Marie's words during the Apathy incident echoed in her mind.

Ruby opened her eyes, frustrated. She slammed her fist against the rock, still unable to use her eyes.

She looked up, turning to Weiss, seeing her battle her heart out.

'For her...'

The battle raced on and the 3 struggled to keep Salem at Bay. Ruby started to fight the Grimm herself. She was still trying to focus on activating her eyes, even as she did.

'These happy memories that I should be fond of...they aren't doing anything at all...but when I think about the look of Weiss's kind smile... There was a spark there.'

Ruby focused a bit more, and her eyes flickered.

'Almost...Weiss...Weiss...'

Her eyes widened, and then lit up completely, freezing the Grimm that was trying to swipe her immediately.

Ruby's face flushed and she pulled the crescent rose back to her side.

'I see...'

Weiss stared at her, dumbfounded.

"You don't understand what I mean yet do you?" Ruby asked her confused looking friend.

"Ruby, is something wrong? What happened to you?"

"You still remember all the things you did to me right?...Well, so do I." Ruby held a pure reminiscent smile, thinking over them as she got lost in her own head for a moment.

"Wait...W-What does that have to do with anything?"

Being pulled back to reality, Ruby continued her explanation. "Thinking about the team, or even thinking about anyone we care about did nothing at all. Weiss, the only thing that even did anything was thinking about you. Do you know what really activated my eyes?"

Ruby giggled, but it was an unsettling and villainous laughter.

"Ruby...you're scaring me. What are you saying?"

"All the vile cruel things you did to me are etched into my memory forever. So naturally, I could think about all the sick, repulsive, horrific, depraved...Ahhhhhnnn...wonderful, deliciously cruel, sadistic, loving, debauched things you did to me."

"Ruby...you don't mean..."

"You probably guessed it already, but yeah. I activated my silver eyes successfully for the first time that day with one thing in mind...I was thinking about your cruel, dominant gaze and wicked, sadistic smile. I froze a Grimm immediately."

"...There's no way. Ruby, you're joking."

"...Is it really that hard to believe? The thing I hold most dear to me now is this life I have with you. Why would I ever want to return back to normal? That's why every time I used my eyes, I thought of all the things you did to me. It wasn't just that one time.

Ruby seductively licked her lips. "I used them again soon after. The next time, I thought of you teasing me and making me say such obscene things until you were satisfied. Ehehehe..." Ruby snapped her fingers. "Boom!...Ahaha. Another Grimm turned stone, just like that."

"No..."

"Then again, it worked by using the memory of you making me cum over and over and over and over again just a few days ago, like the slutty pet you turned me into. You made me pass out, but that didn't stop you from forcing me to wake up to more lewd stimulation after."

"No..."

"Yes...Every. Single. Time. Even when I used it against Salem, I thought of the times you summoned things with your semblance and forced me to fuck them. Your fantasies knew no bounds. You were such a tremendously cruel Mistress."

"I'm sorry...Ruby. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay. You just opened my eyes. I don't hold it against you. In fact, I love you." Ruby's words were genuine, but this wasn't the Ruby that Weiss knew.

"Ruby, what have I done?"

"All you did was show me where I belong, and I'm so happy for it. I just want to thank you."

Ruby combed Weiss's hair, cupping her cheek. Weiss cringed away from her touch, shaking her head. Ruby continued to smile sweetly, getting to her main point. "But this isn't you. This isn't the you that I really want. I love my Mistress. The way you are now doesn't satisfy me. There's no way I would want to go back to normal anymore. There's no way I will ever let things go back to normal. How am I supposed to stay normal after everything you did?"

"It was...it was temporary. You said you could handle it!"

"I was so naive. Ahnn~ Mistress. You were too much." Ruby moaned. "Even the night before we fought Salem, I couldn't stop thinking about it."

"I've given you a break for today. Now get a good night's rest. We have a very big fight tomorrow." Weiss had said to Ruby before they split up to go to bed.

"Yeah, okay." The redhead agreed before going to her room.

But that had been an hour ago already. Ruby stifled her moans, laying on her side as she masturbated.

"Mistress...Mistress..." She repeated.

She pushed two fingers into her sopping wet pussy and cried out in pleasure. She used her other hand to rub her erect clitoris.

"Ah!" She squealed, her face flushing.

'I can't be too noisy.'

She quickly covered her mouth, moving the hand that was teasing her clit to her mouth and covering it. And she used the thumb of her other hand to take over. She screamed into her hand.

She continued, driving herself to orgasm as fast as possible. The girl who had never masturbated just a few weeks ago had now become more than proficient at the task thanks to Weiss's influence.

"Getting close...again.. Gonna...Mmph." She turned her face to the side, burying her mouth into the pillow and moving her hand back to her clit. She increased the pace that her fingers fucked her vagina and stimulated her engorged nub with her hand in a more intense pattern.

'Cumming again!'

She screamed into the pillow, and her legs shivered, her pussy squirting all over the bed.

Drying stains from her previous orgasms were still there.

'I should sleep...but...I haven't been denied by Mistress like this since that time...' Ruby's mind shifted back to indecent thoughts.

Weiss returned from her walk, feeling refreshed. "I'm back. I bought a few groceries during my walk."

Blake stirred her coffee, adding a bit of milk to it, snuggling herself against Yang on the couch.

"You sure took your time." Yang said with a laugh.

"What? There was a long line!" Weiss replied.

Blake's face was red. "You should go up. We'll put away the groceries. I wouldn't want to keep Ruby waiting any longer."

Weiss nodded and started to go up the stairs. "Thanks!"

"I'm sure she's doing fine, but Weiss works her too hard sometimes." Blake pointed out.

"Well, nothing we can do about it. She can manage babe."

"I know." Blake and Yang smiled at each other.

"Want to watch?" Yang lifted her eyebrow and Blake rolled her eyes.

"You should have asked before she went upstairs. Plus, I'm not in the mood right now, I'm comfy and sleepy."

"Okay, come here kitty." Yang pet her girlfriend and she purred.

They had no idea how twisted their perceptions had become.

Weiss quietly ascended the stairs, smiling cruelly. 'I wonder how she's doing.'

There was the sound of muffled vibrations that could be heard through the door.

She unlocked her room and opened the door.

Inside, Ruby lay stomach down on Weiss's bed, wearing only a pair of black lacy underwear and a blindfold. She was covered in sweat. The girl's upper arms were by her side, tied to her chest. But her forearms were laying across her mid back, bent at right angles from her elbows. The two forearms pressed against each other, in parallel, tied firmly together with red silk rope.

The sound of the vibrations became more distinct as Weiss walked to the bed.

"Ahhhh~...Hahh~..." Ruby's fatigued moans became clear.

Ruby had a small bullet vibrator in her underwear and her legs were also tied together at her upper thighs and her calves.

Weiss laughed, a wicked amusement in her voice. "Mmmmm...Seeing you like this is quite nice."

"Did someone enter? Nnnn... Weiss? Is that you? Please. I can't take it anymore. Ahh..."

"Weiss? Didn't we agree you'd call me Mistress today?"

"Hnnn...M-Mistress..." Ruby said in a low ashamed tone.

"I suppose that's good enough. What do you want me to do?"

"Please lift your hypnotic suggestion. Nnn...Please let me...Let me cum." Ruby's cheeks were red with shame, whispering the last part.

"Cute, but you know that won't do. Ask me properly."

"No way...Saying something so crude in front of you..."

"Do you want a larger audience? I can call Blake and Yang over to watch."

"Nnn...no...Weiss..."

"Did you just say Weiss again? I'm being very lenient right now because you're squirming so adorably. But if you keep this up, I'll leave you for another hour."

"Anything but that! W-...nnn...Mistress..." Ruby bit her lip before burying her face into the pillow she was lying now to hide her shame.

"Mistress...Nnnnnnnnnn...I, Ruby Rose...Ahhhh~...y-your slave, wants to cum for her mistress with her horny slutty pussy. "

"Aw, you do?" Weiss looked at her scroll for the time. "Hmmm...Okay."

"Really?" Ruby sounded overwhelmed with relief.

"...In 30 minutes."

"What? W-Why?!"

"You called me Weiss without permission. I was going to push for another hour, but you did beg very nicely."

Weiss turned to leave.

"Mistress. I'm sorry. Mistress!? I'm really sorry. I won't do it again! I won't! I'll be good! Hnnn..." Ruby writhed.

Weiss empathized with her pathetic grovelling. "Mmm, now you're just being unfairly sexy. Fine. 20 minutes. And I'll double your sensitivity. You always love that don't you?"

"Nnn..But.."

"But what? Surely, you plan to do nothing but thank me for my generosity?...Right?" Weiss responded with a threatening tone, laced with an inner rage that was hardly subtle.

"T-Thank you Mistress..."

Ruby bit her lip and moaned into the pillow again, her body shaking in desperate need for release.

Weiss left her pet in that pathetic state.

Ruby looked at the clock. It was already past midnight and they would be fighting Salem in a few hours. Well thought out planning had gone into this, yet she was doing something so obscene instead of resting.

'When I think about it, I can't help it. I have to.'

Ruby sucked one of her fingers, moaning into it, sucking her own wet juices into her mouth.

She continued again. It was going to be a long night.

"I really couldn't sleep, Mistress. You should have played with me more."

Weiss groaned, feeling her body heat up. Her face started to become flushed. Ruby seemed distracted and Weiss tried to reach for her scroll.

'I need to call Yang and Black for help'

Weiss started the call on her scroll quickly.

"Weiss?" A voice on the other end asked. And Ruby gasped. She quickly flicked it away into the wall, breaking it immediately.

"I don't want anyone to interrupt us!" Ruby snapped, before giggling. " Don't you want some alone time with me?" She added in a smooth, sultry voice.

"Ruby...My body. What did you do? Tell me what was in the coffee..." Weiss stared back and her eyes started to shift, growing dimmer. Fatigue was setting in. It was like she had just fought the battle of her life a second time.

"I just did what I needed to do for the both of us. Once I realized what I needed to do, I didn't hesitate."

'I can feel it...it's the same aura that was inside Mistress.' Ruby thought secretly, hiding her aroused expression.

Ruby quickly took an empty water canteen from her pocket and dipped it into the pool, taking Salem's blood.

"Yeah, let's get out of here before more Grimm show up." Ruby commanded, shoving it into her pocket, using her cape to obscure vision of what she had done.

"You feel the grimm in your blood again right? Isn't it great?"

"Ruby. Tell me you didn't."

"I did. I mixed it into your coffee."

"Ruby, what have you done?" Weiss's eyes looked frantic, and she tried to sit up, squirming away.

"Shh, take it easy."

"Ruby, you can still undo this. Please, use your eyes. Before it's too late!"

"Mmmm, yes. My eyes. I could do that...but I'm sure if I have some of this, I'll lose any resistance these eyes have given me." Ruby pointed to Weiss's half finished cup of coffee. "I'll never have to worry about us returning to normal ever again. Let's share the rest. It's a waste to not finish your coffee right?"

"No..." Weiss was in disbelief. After all their hard work.

"Don't worry. You don't have to fight it anymore. Your desires can be let out freely."

Weiss turned her head away, but Ruby forced her to turn her head back to look at her.

"Without Salem to fight us, all of this power will be ours. Isn't that great?"

Ruby looked up, reaching over and grabbing Weiss's coffee. ""Ruby, no stop. It's not too lat- NO!" She took a sip, swallowing the bitter fluid. Her eyes rolled up slightly and her body shivered in ecstasy.

Ruby felt her body overwhelmed with the hostile fluid. Her silver eyes glowed brightly for a moment, sparking and flickering. It was as if they were desperately trying to purge out the darkness within her. But the huntress had consumed the filth, ingesting it and letting it take root inside her.

The redhead trembled, moaning out hoarsely. She let go of Weiss, gripping her head while the weakened girl could only watch her friend joyously accept everything.

Ruby's flared up silver eyes glowed brighter as she stared down at Weiss with a crazed, wide-eyed expression, gripping her hair so tightly that it looked like she was pulling it out.

Then, a high pitched, fracturing ringing could be heard, emanating from the power in her eyes as it battled the darkness she consumed. Her mouth opened and a lewd cry left her mouth. The strained, supernatural noises grew louder. Her right eye continued to glow brighter. Whatever light that remained inside her fought helplessly. But her left eye dimmed, starting to flicker from red to silver, and back. Finally, an audible gasp left her throat and a violent clash occurred within her.

"Ahhh! Mistress, it's breaking. Something's breaking!" Ruby hunched forward and moved her hands to grip her stomach as she felt an intense pain and pleasure at the core of where the Grimm fluid rested within her. Her left eye was pure red.

Ruby felt whatever the god of light had blessed her with shift and wane against the Grimm, while her very core got consumed by darkness.

Then Ruby's eyes rolled up, screaming incoherently and a shattering noise akin to breaking glass echoed through the room.

Ruby snapped her eyes shut for a few moments, feeling the intensity of it all. And then there was a heavy silence.

"R-Ruby?...Ruby are you okay?" Weiss asked hesitantly.

Ruby let out a crazed laugh, opening her watery eyes to show her red irises. The intense process was finally over. Ruby looked exhausted, but her facial expression exuded pure joy.

"Ahhh~...Mistress...Better than ever. You don't have to fight it. Go back to your true self." Ruby took the remaining liquid in the cup into her mouth, holding it.

"No wait!"

Ruby leaned down and kissed Weiss. When Weiss tried to protest, Ruby shoved her tongue inside, causing the white haired huntress to moan into the kiss as the black, Grimm-infused coffee was forced inside of her.

Weiss's eyes rolled up and she felt the corruption spread through her body. Her aura rapidly depleted. There was no resistance to the sweet substance. There was no god given light inside her to fight back. In fact, the dark aura was all too familiar to her. Her body was accepting it easily. It reminded her of who she really was. She felt at peace for a moment, letting it overtake her.

Ruby pulled away and smiled. Weiss's eyes bulged, a surge of pain coursing through her.

"You don't have to be alone, Weiss. Don't hide these memories in shame. Let's make new ones together.

"R-Ruby..." Weiss fell unconscious in Ruby's embrace, the white haired huntress's overwhelmed body shutting itself down while the remnants of her aura crumbled and darkness started to take over. "Mistress..." Ruby cooed excitedly. "It's only a matter of time."

"Ruby?" Blake stared, bewildered and confused at the scene. Weiss lay quietly unconscious in Ruby's arms, with her destroyed scroll nearby.

Ruby didn't turn around.

"Sis?" Yang asked, just as puzzled.

"..."

Blake took a step forward, but Yang squinted her eyes and extended her arm in front of Blake, stopping her girlfriend from approaching. She realized something was off about Ruby immediately.

"Please don't interrupt. You were supposed to be gone for longer." Ruby turned her head, revealing her now red eyes. She was breathing more heavily, a bit weak from the effects. Her tired eyes were still watery, but it was her twisted smile that made Blake's ears droop. She got goosebumps from that gaze. It reminded her of something unpleasant, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Yang readied Ember Cecilia, preparing for conflict.

"Aw...Sis, don't do this right now." The younger sister smiled innocently. "She's not hurt. She just...needs a minute." Ruby's smile disappeared and her gaze looked almost murderous.

Blake pulled out Gambol Shroud as well. "Ruby, please toss your weapon. Something is..." A pained, worried expression appeared on her face. "Something is wrong with you."

"Okay..." Ruby nodded, grabbing her weapon at an excruciatingly slow pace. She held it for a moment, and Blake could feel her heart racing.

A heavy uncertainty hung in the air. "Sis, just stay calm. Nobody needs to get hurt. We're all teammates here." Yang tried to reassure her, feeling uneasy about this whole thing.

"You're right." Ruby said, appearing to put aside her weapon, lulling her teammates into a false sense of security before she suddenly used her semblance to rush past the two of them.

"Gnnnn..." Ruby stumbled as she landed, crying in pain as she tried to transform crescent Rose. Her whole body ached from the Grimm influence.

"Sorry, but-" Yang punched her sister's stomach.

"Erghh!" Ruby fell, winded, her aura depleted completely.

'Her aura gone from one attack?' Yang was confused. 'Did Weiss fight her before we got here?'

Ruby fell to the floor and grabbed her stomach, trembling. Yang pinned her sister to the ground, on her stomach, and held her arm behind her back. "You're not going anywhere."

Blake rushed to Weiss and checked on her.

"Her aura is almost completely gone, but she has a pulse. Wait...She's fine, her aura is healing surprisingly quickly. Oh wait! I think she's waking up."

Weiss slowly opened her eyes.

On the other side of the room, Yang interrogated her sister.

"What the hell happened here Ruby? Did someone do this to you?"

"Much...better..." Ruby said, smiling.

"What?"

"My old aura is gone now. I feel it. Ahnnn~ This power. It's so good. Is this how she feels too?" Ruby's eyes glowed brightly, a crimson red. She felt her depleted aura returning rapidly.

Weiss's eyes opened and she smiled. "Blake." She whispered.

Blake stiffened, and her gut told her to run away as fast as possible. Her dark eyes stared into Weiss's red irises. It was an all-consuming gaze.

"My pet..." Weiss stated factually, pulling her in. Blake tried to resist and push Weiss away, but her strength was almost inhuman.

Weiss kissed her first pet.

She used her free hand to grope her black haired friend's chest, making Blake's body respond immediately. She moaned into the kiss, allowing Weiss to push her tongue into her. Blake felt the dark aura spread into her own body.

Weiss pulled away and whispered into the Faunus's ear. "Good girl. You must be getting wet right now. I'll remind you of how much you loved being toyed with."

'It's bad, this is Grimm. I feel it. It feels...amazing. I need to stop her. I need to stop her before it feels too good.'

Blake shoved Weiss away and slipped, falling on the floor. Weiss laughed and got up, a black ethereal ring summoning on her fingers. The Grimm darkness had been infused into her semblance itself. Blake saw it and immediately closed her eyes.

"Bad kitty. Luminous~" Weiss moaned, a black light forcing its way to Blake.

Blake fell on her back and tried to crawl away with her eyes shut. "Stop!" She cried out.

Yang felt her name get called and she turned her head away to see Blake getting overpowered by Weiss.

Yang's hesitation caused her grip to loosen and that was more than enough for Ruby to escape her.

Yang punched Ruby's stomach, shoving her back a few feet into the wall..

"Sis...that hurt a bit. Ehehe~." Ruby caught herself before she slammed into it and giggled, unphased.

'Her aura healed? What is this power?'

Yang shot a round at her, but Ruby used her semblance to slip through it and appear behind her. She shoved Yang onto the floor. The blonde struggled, trying to get up.

"Yang, I haven't forgotten about when you helped pin me down and force me to have my first orgasm." Ruby whispered lovingly to her.

"You're delusional. I never did that! I'd never do something like that!"

"But you did. Yang, you helped me so much. Ruby pinned both of Yang's arms down with her own. "Thank you so much. I just want to return the favor."

Ruby rubbed her breasts against hers and moaned. "Your boobs are so big. Yang, you're so sexy."

'How is she so strong. Disgusting...Disgusting...Disgusting!' Yang was appalled and revolted.

"You're sick! Get off me. I'm your sister. Please stop."

Ruby laughed, a cold evil chuckle that Yang hadn't ever heard before. Ruby stared deeply into Yang's fearful eyes. "That's exactly how I begged when you toyed with me. I can't wait until you remember sis~"

Ruby leaned in for a kiss, but Yang turned her head away. Ruby took the opportunity to lick Yang's cheek. Yang gasped. "Mmmm. Sis, for so long, I've just wanted to see you squirm just like that."

Yang was on the verge of giving up, but hearing one last desperate plea from Blake made her eyes flare up.

"Haha, Sis our eyes match." Ruby joked, before her smile faded. Her arms shook as Yang started to pry away Ruby's hold on her.

"You're...annoyingly...strong." Ruby said, her arms shaking. 'She's going to break free.'

"M-Mistress!" Ruby called out.

"Blakey, don't close your eyes. You're making this take longer. Don't you want to see it?" Weiss teased her.

Blake shook her head. She didn't know why, but every part of her body screamed at her to keep her eyes closed.

"Yang...Yang help me!" Blake desperately pleaded again.

"My pet. Open. Your. Eyes." Weiss commanded and Blake clenched her teeth, squeezing her hands into fists. She held her breath, feeling overwhelmed.

"Weiss I don't want to...Please...Nnn...Ahhh." Blake's sentence trailed off into a groan as her eyes opened and she went into a trance.

"Well done. Mmmmmm. Fuck, it's good to be back." She smiled, letting her red eyes glow. She stared at her hands, opening and closing them. "I feel so powerful...so free."

Weiss was starting to appreciate Blake's delicious body when she suddenly heard Ruby's voice calling her. She sprung into action, feeling her favorite slave's plea send electricity through her. Weiss turned and saw the situation immediately. She pointed her ring at the struggling blonde and her resistance wavered.

Yang's eyes went dull and Ruby pinned her to the floor again.

"I...won't...fall..." Yang said, but her voice was weak and fleeting. The struggle had become almost nonexistent.

"You're still as stubborn as usual aren't you?" Weiss said, walking forward.

Ruby turned, raising her hand.

"Mistress I-Ahh..." Her words were interrupted as she got lost in the light. Ruby's red eyes grew hazy with lust, frozen in trance as well now.

Weiss smirked, seeing all 3 of her teammates under her command again felt good.

"Ruby, wake up and speak. Tell me what you were going to say.."

"Mistress~. If I may...please let me be the one to break her."

Weiss was more than a little amused. She started to laugh. She walked up to Ruby, stroking her cheek. There was no pain. Weiss let the ring slide against her smooth white skin. Ruby whimpered, feeling the corrupt power directly against her.

"Ruby Rose, you are a dirty girl aren't you?"

"I am." The woman's most prized slave answered in a husky voice.

"You've freed me from Salem's curse and given her power to the both of us. It's only fair you get a reward. I'll allow it. Ruby, prepare to enjoy your treat, you perverted slave."

"Yes Mistress!" Ruby's voice was overjoyed.

"I take it that you have more of Salem's blood with you?"

"Of course."

She turned her attention to Yang. "Okay, you blonde bimbo. You are to do anything your precious little sister asks for the next hour."

"Yes...Mistress." The monotonous blonde answered.

"And if she isn't re-aligned by the time you're done, I'll break her myself."

"Thank you so much Mistress. That..Ahh~." Ruby turned her attention to her sister and leaned forward, inhaling deeply against her blonde silky hair before finishing her reply breathily. "...won't be a problem. She'll thoroughly rethink her stance."

"Mmm, you look so adorably excited. Have fun, but make sure she gets infected with the Grimm blood properly. I'm sure you'll find a way to help your sister join us?"

"Yes Mistress. I won't forget."

"Good. Now before you so selfishly interrupted me, I was going to enjoy my time with my favorite faunus pet." Weiss spun around, flipping her hair, and gazed hungrily at the catgirl. "Blake, you're to revert to your meek submissive slave self I've sealed away. There's no more need to hide your servitude. I want my whorish kitty that I claimed so long ago. I want her here now and in heat. And with all of that said..."

"Yang, you're to wake up and remember all those deliciously horrible things that have happened to all of us. Especially the things you've done to me. I want to see your guilt and embarrassment. It's about time we got even. Lastly, your body will be in constant, exponentially increasing arousal from the moment you wake up..."

"Is that understood?" Ruby and Weiss both finished their commands.

"Yes Mistress." The two slaves answered.

"Wake up."

Blake's cheeks flushed immediately, and she felt a rush of heat overwhelm her body.

She looked over to Yang, seeing Ruby pin her down.

"Mistress..." Blake said, pondering something.

"Mmm, I've missed you, my kitty. But why do you look so uncertain? Is something wrong?" Weiss studied her expression, trying to figure her out.

The Faunus huntress should have thought to save her or fight back in some way, any way to prevent things from getting worse. But it was already too late for her. All the memories flooded back in and everything became clear once more. Now all she felt was...jealousy.

"I'm sorry I forgot about you. Will you still play with me even though you have Ruby now? Will Yang?"

Weiss's concern disappeared in a moment. It was almost comical. She felt her arousal stir within her from Blake's insecurities.

"Ahahaha. And here I thought we had an issue."

"Mistress?" Blake looked up sadly, confused by Weiss's amusement.

"I'm sorry. You don't need to apologize, I'll take care of you. Why would I throw away such a cute loyal pet? You were my first too. You'll always be special to me."

"Thank you so much." The black haired huntress sighed with relief. She looked happier than she had ever been.

"I just need you to do one thing for me later and I'll promise to keep you around."

"Yes Mistress! Anything!"

"Once Ruby's done with your girlfriend, you'll drink the Salem's blood too, right my Blakey?"

"Salem's...Grimm blood?" The faunus thought for a moment, and right before it seemed she may have had some doubts, her ears twitched happily. "Is that all? Of course I will. Mistress, you're too kind."

Yang woke up, and the memories rushed back in. She looked panicked. Her eyes fell on Ruby and the older sister gasped at her corrupt red eyes. She shook her head left and right, a mix of guilt and sadness on her face.

Ruby let go of Yang's arms, smiling in an innocent sweetness..

Yang tried to lift herself or push Ruby away. But her body wouldn't budge.

"You're finally all mine, Yang. We can continue where we left off last time."

"Ruby, please stop. It's me."

"Yang, I know. I want you so badly. Don't you want me?"

"No, Ruby. You'd never do this. We can't do this."

"But we have done this, and it felt sooooo good. You liked hearing my moans right? Didn't they make you so wet?" Ruby pressed her chest to Yang's and licked her lips.

Yang grimaced, but Ruby continued to lean in and kissed her. Yang was stiff and the kiss was one sided. Ruby slid her hand down the blonde's feminine curves. "You're so beautiful, sis."

She hooked her index finger into the hem of the blonde's white panties. "You're getting wet aren't you?"

"What did you do to me? My body...it's too much."

"What about it?" Ruby feigned her sweet innocent voice "Don't tell me you're getting horny because of little old me?"

Ruby's words were said in such feigned innocence. It made Yang sick to her stomach.

"I'm not! I don't want to."

"Yang." Ruby cooed. "It's okay. I know it feels good. It's feeling better and better right?"

'Why...even though it's Ruby...'

Ruby pointed to the other two and Yang's eyes followed. "Look, Blake is having a great time with Weiss.

Blake was preoccupied, facing away from them, and Yang could only watch as she saw her girlfriend and Weiss together.

"I don't want to be outdone by them. You love me right?" Ruby pouted, pretending to look neglected by her.

'Ruby...oh Ruby...'

Ruby pulled out the canister and opened it.

"What is that?"

"Drink it."

"No, get that thing away from me!" She screamed, But the younger huntress kept her in place. Ruby's improved strength seemed too much for her.

Yang tried to object, but Ruby held her cheeks to keep her in place. Ruby poured it directly into her mouth. The liquid starting to pour into her, Yang coughed, black fluid trailing down her lip. Ruby pulled the canister back and covered the older girl's mouth and waved her finger. "No, No. You swallow."

Yang tensed, squirming helplessly under her. Suddenly her body jumped one more time and her eyes rolled up.

'I want to...I'm going to.' The blondes final feeble resistant thoughts coarse through her before her body accepted the invasive corruption.

Yang swallowed it, and her half-lidded eyes started to flicker red. "You missed some didn't you? Let me check."

Ruby let go of her hand and pressed her lips to Yang's, pushing her tongue inside. Yang was unable to resist. Her feminine moans were drowned into the kiss.

Ruby pulled back and licked her lips, sighing with a pleased look on her face. "You got it all. Good job sis. I knew you could do it."

Yang caught her breath, writhing as her eyes shifting to a solidified red shade.

"Ruby, I love you...I can't take it anymore. Do whatever you want."

"See? It's not hard to be honest. Let's feel good together."

"Ruby, kiss me again." Yang begged.

The younger sister was more than happy to oblige.

By the time the group finished, it was nightfall. They barely took a moment's break. It seemed like weeks of pent up hidden desires all exploded out at once.

They indulged in each other fully until they eventually found themselves naked and cuddled up together on Weiss's bed, sleeping soundly. Their clothes were scattered in various places and the entire house was a mess.

This was just the beginning. Ever since that day, everything changed drastically.

"There's too many of them!" A huntress screamed.

"Backup will never make it in time! We need to retreat NOW before it gets worse!" The huntsman next to her urged.

"What about the civilians? Haa!" The female huntress asked her partner before striking a Grimm with her sword.

"We'll die!"

"So will they!" The huntress snapped back at her partner, losing her focus for a moment.

"Look out!"

A Grimm leaped and the huntress defended, but no strike happened.

From the sky, a .50 caliber bullet hit the Grimm with a perfectly executed headshot. Ruby landed, spinning her scythe with a confident smirk on her face.

Weiss landed beside her, elegantly onto a glyph.

Blake rushed from behind them on the left, and Yang on the right. The two girls ran forward ahead of Weiss and Ruby.

"It's the Ace Ops! Thank the gods." The huntress said with relief, falling from fatigue.

Her partner fell to her side as well. "We're saved."

Yang stopped, checking on them, while Blake ran forward.

"Are you hurt?" Yang asked the two.

"No, but wait. She's going in alone? There's too many!"

"She'll be just fine." Yang assured them with a cocky smile.

Blake whipped her gun, slicing a dozen grimm in one swift motion. She dodged every attack, countering every swipe effortlessly. It was majestic and even beautiful. Her movements were smooth and practiced. It was like she knew exactly how each enemy would attack.

"The Ace Ops are something else..." The huntsman said in disbelief.

"Show off..." Yang said with a knowing smirk. 'Don't let them know what you're really doing.'

Weiss kept a keen eye. "She's abusing her power again."

"It's okay, it is their turn to clean up the mess. Plus, she's too far away for them to notice. We won't need to hypnotize anyone this time."

Blake continued to fight, and only team RWBY themselves seemed to notice the truth. Interestingly, if one were to watch closely, they could see that her eyes were red the entire time she fought.

Any time a Grimm was going to attack Blake, their movements ever so slightly changed to either be easily blocked or dodged by her actions. Like puppets on a string. It was oddly not much different from what Pyrrha did with polarity when she was hiding her semblance. They were just small, minute adjustments. The naked eye would not see a thing.

"Should we help?" Ruby asked, but she sounded unmotivated.

"Ummm..." Weiss pondered it for a moment, but her gaze changed from thoughtful to alluring. She looked at Ruby, practically undressing her with her eyes.

Ruby smirked, all too familiar with that look. "...Or do you want to 'search the building' over there?" Ruby seductively suggested.

"Good idea, team leader." Weiss answered with a hint of mischievous sarcasm.

"We're searching the premise for any more Grimm or civilians!" Weiss screamed.

Yang rolled her eyes, knowing what that really meant. "Again?!"

"Yup!" Ruby said, sticking out her tongue.

Yang sighed. "I'll treat the wounded..." She muttered under her breath, not expecting either would hear. Not that they would care anyway.

Inside the building, the two giggled flirtatiously. Weiss cornered Ruby to a wall, roughly slamming her back against it and embracing her.

"Ahnn~..." Ruby moaned, sliding her hand down the side of her waist.

"Mmmph...Ruby you look so deliciously hot right now."

"Nnn...W-Wait..." Ruby said, looking around. Weiss realized what she meant.

Weiss rolled her eyes. "Okay okay..." She turned her head and shouted. "Is anyone here?!"

There was no response.

"See...Nothing to worry about."

Blake continued to fight.

'Why are there so many this time? This is annoying...'

Yang finished tending to the injured huntsman and huntress. "Rest here for now, evac will be here in about 10 minutes."

"Thank you." The woman said and Yang nodded, winking.

"No problem."

She got up and turned to Blake, who had just finished off the last of the Grimm.

"Good job babe!" Yang said with a smile, running forward.

Blake rushed forward and leapt onto her lover, kissing her.

"Where are the other two?" Blake asked.

"They...searched the building over there."

"Again?" Blake sighed, looking over at the beat up building. "At least wait for us."

Weiss and Ruby made out, Weiss's hand finding its way under the shorter huntress's 'combat skirt'.

"Mistress..."

Ruby's voice was sweeter than honey. Weiss couldn't get enough.

Neither of them noticed the Grimm ursa that worked their way behind them. It roared and the two jumped. Ruby let out a feminine squeal. Weiss just stared at it angrily. The Grimm roared again preparing to strike them.

"Haha, don't you see we're in the middle of something?" Ruby didn't look the least bit phased.

"You are interrupting." Weiss's blue eyes shifted to red, staring the monster in the eye.

The Grimm stopped moving and lowered its raised arm, whimpering apologetically.

Then, Ruby's eyes glowed red as well. She used her head to gesture to the left as she commanded, "Get out."

"While I still allow it." Weiss threatened, her red eyes glowing brighter.

The Grimm turned and ran away in the specified direction, filled with fear. A shotgun round was blasted a few feet away and Weiss pulled her head away from Ruby's, flipping her hair and sighing. The Grimm fell to the floor and Yang put her hands on her hips.

"Mistress, you couldn't wait for us?"

Ruby rubbed the back of her head. "Uhh...sorry? It was your turn."

"Evac will be here any minute. How about we all wait until we're back? You can't hog Mistress all to yourself all the time sis."

"Fine, I hadn't gotten to play with Blake lately anyway." Ruby admitted, blushing a bit and glancing at the faunus.

Blake became flustered. "Well, we can change that. I-I'd like to as well."

Weiss's annoyed expression changed, a smile growing on her face. "Oh? I didn't know my blondie needed me so bad."

"W-Whatever." Yang answered with a tsundere attitude.

The sound of Atlas military vehicles roared above them and Ruby hopped up giddily.

"Let's go team!" She exclaimed.

Ruby pulled Weiss to follow her as she walked out of the building.

In the airlift, Weiss looked pleased, thoughtfully relaxing.

"You look happy." Ruby observed, wrapping her arms around Weiss and nuzzling herself into her arm. Ruby looked at what Weiss was staring at. "I still preferred keeping our original name."

The side of the vehicle's interior read 'Ace Ops.'

"Really? I'll talk to Ironwood about it."

"Aww, you'd do that for me?"

"Of course."

"Do you feel the same way? Is that why you're staring at it?"

"Not really, I was just thinking...life's good."

Ruby giggled. "It is."

In their new private mansion, the group shared an intimate experience in their private chambers.

In a king size bed, the group was having another orgy together. Ruby was scissoring with Blake, while Weiss used a strapon to fuck Yang.

Suddenly a scroll started to ring. The group ignored it at first, far too preoccupied with more important things.

"Ahhh...Ahh...Whose scroll is that? Isn't that yours Ruby?" Weiss said, continuing to thrust against the mewling girl beneath her.

"Nnn...Oh...Nnn..Blake wait." Ruby paused, panting and crawling to the edge of the bed to grab her scroll. "Oh, it's my reminder. Ironwood's about to make his announcement. Let's watch."

Ruby turned on the TV and Blake grabbed her from behind, kissing her neck. "Hey! Wait...Nnn..." Ruby bit her lip, trying to focus on the screen in front of her.

Ironwood stood at town square, a large curtain behind him.

"Recently we have had historic troubles. It was only recently that the Grimm cases spiked. But even now, we are safer than ever. I'm sure you know why. With their renown and fame, you must know who I'm speaking of. The Ace Operatives."

Ironwood paused, realizing his mistake. "Ahem...my apologies. Ace Operative Team RWBY. I'd like to thank you again for your excellent service. Our great nation is indebted to you. We live in tough times. Grimm appearances have been higher than they have ever been. But it's with your strength that we are able to feel safe. Unfortunately, the team is too busy to make it today, but this is still a cause for celebration. So this is why I'm here to announce the construction of the Ace Operative Team RWBY Statue, right here." The curtain opened and showed a statue of each of the 4 of them. "It will be a shining beacon that-"

Weiss shut off the TV, laughing. "That idiot will never know we're the reasons why the Grimm is attacking Atlas."

"Hey! I was watching that." Ruby complained. But Blake started to fondle with her breasts, then slid one hand down. "Ahhn..."

"I can't believe they still kept Ace Ops in front of our name. It's a bit of a cumbersome title." Blake remarked before licking up Ruby's neck, making the younger huntress shudder.

"Haaahh..."

Weiss threw the remote away and crawled to Ruby, kissing her sweetly. "We'll watch the rest later. I wanna hear my blondie cum. Plus aren't you busy too, my pet?"

Ruby whimpered, feeling Blake tease her inner thigh. "You're right." She agreed. "Nnn...Blake come here." Ruby demanded, turning around and locking lips with her.

"Come back Mistress." Yang whined, crawling forward on all fours, pulling Weiss towards her.

Weiss looked at the mirror, smiling at the whorish display the 4 of them were in. This was the team of huntresses that had become known as the saviors of Remnant. Those same huntresses were now the controllers of the grimm, and nobody would ever find out. Anyone keen enough to notice would 'forget' after seeing the ring, if Weiss didn't decide to do something worse.

Team RWBY had fallen so far. They were mere remnants of their former selves, growing into something far darker than they could have ever dreamed of becoming. But the future they carved out together became one filled with a twisted, satisfying joy.

Weiss was the new queen of darkness. She secretly led team RWBY's dark endeavors and rose the team to the highest of fame and fortune, while debauching them all as she pleased. Salem was no more as she was forever imprisoned in stone. The world didn't even take notice of the unknown secret queen of the Grimm falling and getting replaced. Huntsmen and huntresses would still fight Grimm, and Grimm would still be controlled in the shadows.

The world moved on, but...

Things would never be the same, and it was all because of the ring. Without anyone in team RWBY trying to stop her anymore, the world was finally hers.

That annoying woman was no longer a problem and there was nothing in the way. Eyes glowing red, the Queen of Grimm smiled wickedly.

Author Notes:

I noticed such large blocks of bold text is really bad for the eyes on FF. So I'm unbolding most of this.

Thank you for reaching the end of my story. It has been a long long journey. I hope you enjoyed it. I'm very proud to close things off here. It's been over a year since this story started and I appreciate all the readers that have gone through this adventure with me!

NOW, if you're reading this on AO3, you probably noticed. There is 1 more big thing for this story! I created a cover art for this story using koikatsu studio!

It'll be up on AO3(ArchiveOfOurOwn). AO3 allows links, but not FF(Fanfiction). If you're interested in seeing it, look up my story on AO3. It has the same title, but the colon ruins the search. So search "Entranced In Luminous Lust"

Special thanks to everyone who helped push me to keep writing and helped me throughout this story. And thanks especially to my current anonymous editor who takes her time to help me with all the grammatical errors I make.

Don't read any further until you finish the chapter! These are my final author's notes for this story. Spoilers ahead.

Team RWBY happily ends up as a secretly evil slutty team. A twisted happy ending. I had always intended for it to end up this way. I hope you enjoyed it. There were a lot of twists and turns that were added, but we got here. Things changed a lot and the story had a mind of its own. I added many fun new things. The initial draft for this story didn't even have Salem in it! It was going to end around chapter 7 when Ruby fell. I actually initially had the idea that Weiss would hypnotize herself in order to finally trick Ruby and defeat her by trapping her in a room full of speakers. I much prefer the headphones, once that idea popped into my head. I ended up changing a lot and going with this route.

I know this is probably just seen as smut on the surface. But I wanted it to be so much more than just that. I really poured my heart and soul into making the characters believable, sprinkling in various things into the mix.

I also tried some fun different unique things throughout this story. I did special spacing for impactful sentences. I felt that added some flavor to important dialogue. I did layered flashbacks that slowly revealed the truth. (That was hard lol). In this final chapter, I did that cute little opening paragraph to mislead you into thinking one thing, while also using the same paragraph for a different meaning entirely at the end.

The final chapters got complicated! I feel I successfully executed my convoluted final chapters in a way that left me satisfied with the result. I made some drastic plot twists, but also very understandable. I also referenced previous chapters several times, which I felt helped with continuity.

I felt the RWBY universe was perfect for a corruption story. The idea for this story actually initially came to me as such a simple concept. A lesbian Weiss that is in love with Ruby gets a hypnosis Grimm ring, but Ruby's silver eyes protects her. It became so much more. I'm so glad I wrote it and I'm glad you read it! This is the final chapter. So, if you want to, please leave a review. This is the last chance. It always makes me happy to interact with you wonderful readers. How was the ending? What was your favorite part of the story? Who had the best corruption? Who was your favorite slave? Tell me anything you want.

Through reading this maybe you enjoyed the story. Maybe you laughed or cried. Maybe you were just here for the smut. Maybe you love corruption, like me. Whatever the reason, thank you again for reading!

Now, as for my future in writing? I'll write something eventually, but I'll take a break for now. I may also write for a new fandom. I wonder if I should do a poll here on AO3 of some ideas I have.

PS: I'm happy this story is loved enough that there's fanfiction of this fanfiction! That blows my mind. There's a branching story starting at the end of chapter 7 called RWBY: Entranced In Luminous Lust Salem Slaves on fanfiction if you're interested. It's very different, and maybe you're itching for more? Also, someone else recently asked me for permission to possibly write their own fanfiction of this story again! (Nothing's happened yet, but I said yes.)
