Ruby was on her own, after being saved by Glynda only to watch her be raped in front of her by Yang's boyfriend, it was quite a sight. She trained for 3 weeks and managed to persuade Ozpin to speak with someone. General Ironwood and the forces of Atlas as well as Beacon Academy students were there the day Grane finally started his attack.
Ozpin pushed his glasses up as he saw Grane's forces approach Beacon Academy "We're gonna save you guys don't worry!" Ruby exclaimed and dashed head first into battle. She slashed several Grimmlings, nimbly jumping over them and flipping, using her intense speed to make her way to Grane, who stayed in Emerald Forest in an open field. "You turned my sister against me...I won't forgive you until shes safe!" Ruby exclaimed and got ready, Yang, Blake and Weiss coming out from behind "I think she quite likes her new position" Grane stated as his tendrils came from his back, keeping his hands in his pocket.
Ruby gritted her teeth then dashed at him with her fast speed, initially catching him off guard by getting two slashes across his chest but put up a tendril shield and slammed Ruby into a tree. She took the hit and ran at him, Grane's tendrils flying above the grass to hit her but Ruby jumped, running along the tendril before using her secret move she had been working on. "Crimson Tornado!" she used her superspeed ability which left a trail of rose petals in her wake, catching Grane in the red tornado which hit him countless times before he got dizzy and fell onto his back.
Grane groaned and looked at Ruby, knowing her weakness was her damage endurance he had to pour the heat onto her. He spun along the ground and shot up, forming a tendril drill with his hands before letting gravity help him fall onto Ruby's location, who backflipped to avoid the move. The hybrid smirked and used the ground to help him shot off it, drop kicking the girl who slid back and shook her head to try and shake off damage.
Ruby did her best to analyze him like Ozpin said but in natural fashion she went with her instincts, running head first and so did Grane, clashing his tendrils against her scythe before swatting her to the side with his tendril. She rolled and managed to get herself up, screaming before shooting dust infused bullets at him, shooting ice, then turned around, inserting gravity into the scythe before shooting and making her slide to Grane.
Grane got stuck because of the ice and wasn't prepared for an ice shattering strike, holding his stomach before Ruby repeated the process by firing the gravity dust bullets backwards so that way the butt of the scythe hit Grane's stomach. Eventually he grabbed the scythe with his tendril before twisting it out of her grip, throwing it a ways across the field which it then landed, its blade embedded in the ground.
Ruby flipped as well, landing on the ground before skidding to a stop, panting and running at Grane, using the intense wind to drag him along with her. She made sure to take the most painful route and ran around trees, Grane effectively getting hit numerous times before he stopped it by latching onto a tree with a tendril and latching onto Ruby's foot with the other. After grabbing her he flung her upward before making her slam on the ground, Ruby groaning and slowly standing up.
Grane picked her up by her neck with his tendril "You have grown stronger I see but its gonna take more than fancy techniques to defeat me" he told her before throwing her across the field, she hit the rock wall quite hard and groaned. "I'm doing this for my friends!" Ruby stood up as Grane slid a tendril deep inside her entrance "Noble but futile" Grane admitted, two tendrils wrapped around her ankles and began reeling her in while one tendril rammed into her hard.
While Yang and Blake remained unaffected by Ruby's calls Weiss was a different story, since her partnership rivaled her sisterly relationship with Yang, that and the fact she didn't know Grane too well she responded with the need to rebel. Ruby gritted her teeth as she tried to pull away but was got into close proximity of Grane, who held her up with his tendrils that moved deep inside her "Once you fall, Beacon is next" he told her as Ruby drooled, about to break.
However before that could happen Weiss dashed to Grane, he dropped Ruby and flipped to the side, nimbly avoiding the attack before glaring "It seems you are able to fight back" he told her "If anyone is gonna beat up Ruby its gonna be" Weiss glared at Grane. "Don't hurt him too bad! He's not himself!" Ruby said as she got her weapon, running back beside Weiss before the battle ensued between the two.
Despite having an advantage in numbers Weiss and Ruby weren't enough to defeat Grane, there was a reason Beacon had teams of 4. More can be accomplished if teams can work together, but when the team is halved that makes it more difficult. Weiss hit a tree with a back, slumping down and panting as Ruby shot Grane with her scythe/sniper rifle hybrid "Get up Weiss come on!" she encouraged and although in pain Weiss pulled through.
Blake frowned, ultimately she felt touched by their efforts and soon broke from her trance, running and surprise attacking Grane, hitting him through trees. Yang however was smirking, watching them though the itch in the back of her mind grew larger, she held her head as voices came to her in surround sound "Wake up, this isn't you, fight back, for him! Save him!" the voice was of Yang.
Yang held her head then looked up at the battle, Grane still managed to hold his own, each girl taking their own shares of hits and soon Yang rebelled finally, the Grimmcyte was controlling her boyfriend and she knew more about it than the other victims the sentient virus caused. She screamed and shot behind her, delivering a hard punch to Grane.
The punch sent him flying right into the side of a rock, smashing right through it before he skidded to a stop. "Yang!" Ruby ran to her and hugged her tightly, so did Blake while Weiss pouted "Good to see you" she said, maintaining her Tsundere posture. Yang laughed and pats their backs "Alright...theres a virus controlling Grane, we need to get dominate him" Yang said and Blake nodded "Sounds easy enough".
Grane growled as he was more pissed off now, his tendrils swaying around him. "I don't mean that kind of domination" Yang said and Ruby gulped "W-what do you mean?" she asked "The virus takes over lifeforms when they're at their weakest...I think if we prove we're stronger than the virus we can get it out of him or at least stop him!" Yang said and dodged a tree that was thrown at her, taking cover behind the trees with her team.
"But what do you mean by dominate!?" Weiss exclaimed "Sex" Yang said and was in the back of her mind, happy that this was gonna happen one last time "Again!?" Blake groaned. "I'm almost completely drained but if its for Grane I'll do it" Ruby said "I'll save the knuckle head..." Weiss agreed as Blake rubbed her arm "Well...it still is heat season for me" Blake said. Yang smiled and nodded "Remember, dominate him, don't let him control you" Yang said.
And so the girls got out from their cover and rushed the Grimmcyte Virus Carrier, what will happen next?
