The next day, grim had stuck to his promise, and was taking on all of the teams at beacon at the same time. Though not before he and the other teams got to work helping with repairing everything, after that was done though grim called the students of beacon together to show off a new technique of his.
" you know you all have the advantage of numbers, but let me show you a little trick I picked up from Flynt something that will make this harder on all of us. Grim then split his shadow into a dozen different versions of himself to take on all the known and unknown teams. For hours grim trained each team, with team RWBY doing the best and all teams generally doing well. Although Jaune and cardins team had some trouble fighting grim for the first time they did Manage to hold their own accomplishing what Grim wanted everyone to do. At the end of the day grim held a speech in front of all of those who went to beacon.
" today we rebuilt Our school our city, today we came together and became stronger, today we prepared for war, and I am proud to say that all of us together now are ready for what is coming humanity is strong, and we will prove that when Therist attacks again. Grim then stepped away from the Podium, as clapping followed his speech and himself as he walked away. Aside from rebuilding in the morning and training in the afternoon nothing yet was done at night, though a date between yang and atrail was happening.
" so your part Grimm like grim is Huh? So does that mean you knew him when you were younger? Atrail nodded at yangs question and ran a hand through his now braided red hair.
" grim and I went to the same orphanage together and it was hell, Tch I don't blame him for not sharing the full details the physical and mental abuse we suffered there could drive a lesser man insane let alone what it would do to a normal child. Yang frowned at this and laid a hand on Atrails shoulder.
" you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. Atrail chuckled at this and took a sip of his drink before speaking again.
" oh no it's fine even grim has no idea what happened to me, and keeping it inside will only make it worse, the short and narrow of it is I was sold as a slave. Yang bolted upright after hearing the word slave, her eyes and hair burning as she stared at atrail.
" YOU WERE A WHAT! Atrail chuckled at yangs anger and rose an eye brow at her as he finished eating his dinner.
" damn grim wasn't kidding that'd I would like you, your hot when your pissed. Yangs eyes Quickly turned back to a shade of purple as she heard this, with her face turning red in response as a blush built up.
" oh um thank you, sorry for my outburst junior. Junior sighed at this as he Got up from the floor and shook his head.
" no problem blonde I'm getting used to people blowing up my shit by now, please continue your date. Atrail smiled as he grabbed yang and brought her over to the dance floor of the club, which was now playing a soft song as they danced.
" as I was saying, I was taken as a slave by a necromancer. As atrail spoke, he spun yang around before bringing her close as he spoke in her ear.
" so the necromancer took me, and branded me as his student with this mark on my face, forever reminding people that I am part death stalker, but that's not the only reason why he took me. Atrail then Went quiet for a few seconds, before speaking again as yang stared up at him wide eyed.
" He then changed my semblance from whatever it was, to necromancy, and then from there He thought I would comply and sever him, luckily for me some one came to save me, my boss. Yangs eyes widened at this as the song ended and grabbed atrail by the scruff of his dress shirt.
" who is she why does she sound so much like summer rose?! Atrail chuckled at this and quickly kissed yang, stunning her as she let him go. Atrail then Smiled at yang,before He disappeared into a white portal which popped up behind him.
" can't tell you that, oh but call me we should do this again. Yang blushed as she put a hand to her lips, before turning to glare at a smirking junior.
" you saw nothing! Junior chuckled at this and shook his head as he cleaned a glass.
" whatever you say blonde, but I'm pretty sure You had fun. Yang growled at this and rolled her eyes as she walked outside to get ready to leave. Meanwhile else where that night, grim was fighting against his shadow clones, and was making Some progress fighting against himself, at least until a twig snapping caught his attention.
" who goes there show your self your out numbered. After a few seconds, the spectator revealed themselves to be Pyrrha with both her eyes glowing orange, making grim and his shadow clones raise their scythes at her.
" Whoever is in that body what have you done to Pyrrha. Pyrrhas body smirked and walked towards grim with a smile.
" she wasn't wrong you are very good at what you do, I'm sorry we couldn't meet in person but right now I'm Amber or what's left of Amber anyway. Grims clones quickly faded at this, and grim walked forward to look at Pyrrhas body.
" this should be impossible, then again your aura was given to Pyrrha so perhaps this is destiny, That aside why are you in control of Pyrrhas body Amber? Amber smiled with Pyrrhas body again and tilted her head.
" oh you mean besides wanting to meet you, Nothing really other then telling you I'm in Pyrrhas head with her. Grim nodded and Held out a hand to Amber who in turn took it and shook it.
" a pleasure to meet you, I'm sorry Therist stole your body. Amber smiled at grims words and shrugged at this, as her eyes started to change back to their new normal of green and orange.
" meh what can he do with a dead body bring back the dead. Amber then faded away, as Pyrrha came back into control.
" well that was refreshing, wouldn't you say. Grim nodded and chuckled as he poked Pyrrhas forehead.
" and here you thought you were a normal celebrity when it turns out you got another girl in your head. Pyrrha rolled her eyes at this and laughed as she turned back towards the school.
" very funny well goodnight grim have fun training. Grim waited for a few moments before he was sure Pyrrha was gone before he spoke again.
" you can all come out now. After grim said this, the three members of team RWBY still at the school fell out of a tree and landed at grims feet, followed shortly by Zwei, and then finally ranma.
" first off how did that tree hold up ranma for so long? That aside, how's your night girls. The three girls all blushed as grim looked at them, and Ruby spoke up as she stood up.
" welllll we got bored and since yang is on a date we figured we watched you train. Grim raised an eye brow at this and face palmed.
" I guess I can understand that but you must really get your sleep. Blake frowned at this and crossed her arms as she stepped in front of grim.
" look who's talking, you Haven't been getting any sleep lately. Grim growled at this and took off his mask to glare at the girls.
" I need to train to be ready to fight Therist. Weiss nodded at this but stepped forward just as Blake did.
" don't you think your over doing it a bit? Grim shook his head no but as he raised his hand to put his mask back on, Ruby hugged him across his waist.
" pwease come get some sleep. Grim cringed hearing rubys plea, and sighed as he gave into her puppy dog eyes.
" ah alright I'll Go to bed then just stop with the puppy dog eyes, come on Zwei, ranma it's bed time. As the six went back towards the school to sleep, others were planning and creating.
" cinder come in here please bring my blood as well. Therist, was in his throne room, with ambers body at his feet, much to the surprise of cinder who brought Therist his blood.
" master what are you doing with her body? Therist sighed and ran a hand on his back after hearing this, as he stared at ambers body.
" I'm in need of a new general that's powerful so I figured why not create one. Cinders eyes widened at this as she stared at Ambers body.
" can you really create new life with a dead body? Therist chuckled but grimaced as he nodded.
" yes but it takes a tremendous amount of power to do so, one of my followers tried to bring back with this method by kidnapping children and turning their semblance so into his own, so that they could all harness the necromancy, and bring me back, however something went wrong, and some one managed to track down and kill my necromancer, leaving me with the only knowledgeable ritual to bring people back without the same semblance as him. Cinder nodded at this, and watched in awe as Therist traced runes all over ambers body with his blood.
" from the darkest night, to the shadows of all, I summon a familiar to make my enemies fall! After Therist finished saying this ambers body began to change, growing more mature, and changing color. Ambers hair turned black with streaks of white with it, while her skin turned white, and her eyes red.
" What the hell what am I doing alive again where am I? Therist laughed at the new woman's confusion and Lifted her face up with his claws.
" well, well,well looks like the ritual worked after all welcome back to the land of the living my mate. The newly revived Grimm woman growled at therists words and left at his throat, only to be forced back to the ground with a snap of his fingers.
" now Salem darling I hardly expected to bring you back from the dead, but this will make my revenge, and the destruction of humanity and the Faunus so much sweeter. Salem growled at this and Once again tried to attack Therist, only for Therist to flick his wrist, sending her into the wall.
" always so spirited aren't you, since when were you ever in control of my actions my dear? Hmm well I don't need your compliance to make you work for me, for you see, my blood can make anyone who's injected with it my pawn, controlled like a puppet on a string and now, your my new toy once again ! Therist then began to laugh maliciously as he took control over salems body before finally resting.
" now my dear I have an infiltration mission for you to complete go to atlas and await my orders. Salem bowed as he eyes shined a dark red, before disappearing into the shadows while cinder looked at her master with worry.
" master you look ill are you alright? Therist sighed and waved away cinders concern as he stood up.
" yes I'm alright princess now go do something to prepare for the Invasion at atlas vale might have withstood my return but atlas will fall to the shadows in a months time, and I want you to be ready for it. Cinder nodded and Bowed to Therist before fading into the shadows as well, as soon as cinder was gone ying -yang appeared once more.
" feeling the soul crushing effects of a broken heart big bro. Therist growled at this and drove his sword through ying yangs spirit and into the wall.
" shut your mouth you abandoned me and everything the Grimm tribes once stood for. Ying yang rolled his eyes at this and sighed as he walked out of therists blade and sat on his throne.
" we've gone over this a thousand times Therist, literally, I was free to do what I wanted when I turned twenty one. Therist laughed hollowly at this and glared at his brother with hatred.
" I don't give a damn that you left, I don't give a damn that you chose to stay with humanity, I killed father and mother the day he called you to be the new king, Because the title was originally mine, it was my birth right, and to make things worse you chose humanity over your own people, you spit on our kingdom and left us to rot. Ying yangs apparition flared a bright white at therists word, and therist as a result was pinned against the wall.
" DO NOT SPEAK AS IF I HATED OUR RACE, I DIDN'T LEAVE OUR KINGDOM TO ROT, BUT THE WAR YOU CAUSED, TURNED US ON THE PATH TO DARKNESS, CAN YOU NOT SEE WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME, or do you just not accept what you have done yet? Therist remained quiet at this, and ying yang snorted before dropping him to the ground.
" I should have killed you a thousand years ago, because my real brother died the day he let hatred consume him. Ying yang then faded away, leaving Therist to ponder his thoughts.
" I may have this power and my armies but what good are they if I End up winning and destroying everything to turn it to my own vision, what will I have accomplished in the end? But proving that I am a monster... No No you won't get to me brother I will bathe remanent in shadow and I will rule as the one true leader. Content with his hatred, Therist went to his quarters and laid down to sleep. A month later and things for both sides were going well, grim had trained beacons teams to the point of being Able to take on a normal or powerful shadow user, though it wouldn't be quit enough to take on cinder or Therist. Therist on the other hand, had amassed a huge army of Grimm just outside atlas walls and grinned as he Looked towards the distance, and contacted Salem.
" Salem my dearest would you mind lowering the shields without anyone noticing thanks hon. Therists smile then grew as his eyes allowed him to watch the shield fall.
" good Now then let the attack commence. After Therist said this, hundreds of Grimm amassed out of the shadows and charged towards the walls of atlas. At first the Robotic defenses of atlas did a great job of eliminating the Grimm in waves but this was what therist wanted, as he contacted cinder.
" excute Order HK66 once more, but leave the android out of it for now she will be a last resort. Cinder bowed on the scroll, before activating the order once again causing the robotic defenses of atlas to turn on itself. One hour later, and a distress message was picked up by Ozpin who called all of beacon together to listen to the message.
" any one who can receive this message please send help, were being over run-brzzzt- Therist has activated order HK66 bbbrzt- our defenses are down, and we're falling back trying to by time for the rest of the city to evacuate, the council room is surrounded but they should Be fine they've locked themselves up tight. Please we need assistance if we are going to survi- before ironwood could finish his message, a dust bolt collided with his scroll cutting the feed. The entirety of beacon stayed quiet at this waiting for Ozpin to speak as he sighed deeply.
" we can't make it in time. Immediately the hall erupted in yells of protest which were just as quickly silenced as grim rose into the air and shouted.
" SILENCE YOU FOOLISH CHILDREN OR I WILL EAT YOUR SOULS. Ozpin coughed after grim said this, calming him down, before speaking again.
" But grim and nocturne can handle transporting two teams there to provide aid, now then who shall go. Grim raised his hand at this and quickly pointed at team RWBY.
" I have already chosen, my father probably is already choosing his old team as well. Nocturnes chuckle could then be heard as he appeared by grim with his old friends.
" right you are and we're ready to go. Ozpin nodded and smiled as he sipped his tea.
" very well you may go now, and be safe. The two groups then left together Tavel shadowing a large distance to atlas. As they exited the shadow realm, Both grims and nocturnes groups landed on the roof of the school of atlas, as they did therists voice rang out.
" hold! Well well well, grim nocturne it's good to see you both today. Therist then walked through his army, until he was in front of the school, looking up at the two groups.
" so have you come to surrender yourselves? Grim chuckled at therists words, before charging up his aura, causing a white glow to cover his body.
" you'll die on this day Therist. Therist grimaced at grims words and waved his arm at them.
" open fire kill them all but leave grim alive. After saying this, the robots and new grimm opened fire on the two groups. But, both nocturne and grim launched their groups into the air with their shadows saving the two groups from any harm. While they were in the air, the two groups didn't waste any time and opened fire on the robots and Grimm, taking out scores of them, Grimm and nocturne in turn also used their shadows to clear a wide path for them to land. As they landed grim smirked at a glaring Therist and pointed his scythe at him.
" ready to face justice. Therist grit his teeth at this, and faded into the shadows but not before Signaling his Grimm to charge. Seeing this grim grinned as he changed his scythe to its dual pistol form, and then turned to team RWBY.
" ready for this? Grim received a nod in response to this , before suddenly turning around and sprinting towards the Grimm and robots, opening fire on them as he did. Seeing this, team RWBY followed his example and ran with grim firing at the enemy forces as they ran toward them. Nocturnes group in turn, split up and each ran at a section of the enemy forces. Raven used her portals, to quick travel around the battle field, allowing her to kill a few Enemies at different positions each time she did, as she quickly exited her portals with a slash of her sword. Qrow changed his sword to his scythe form, and used it with deadly efficiency, as he was able to fluidly Swing his scythe around with ease, Chopping beowolfs, ursa, griffin, and a few new Grimm as well to pieces. At one point, Qrows attacks left him open to an attack and the Grimm tried to take advantage of this, only for Shotgun blasts to slam into their sides knocking them away from Qrow as they died. Nocturne then rose out of Qrows shadow and gave him a nod, before fading into the shadows once more to attack the enemy in secret. Taiyang meanwhile, had found himself surrounded by Grimm and chuckled as he looked around.
" well this certainly does look Grimm doesn't it? The Grimm all growled at taiyang so joke and charged at him. However instead of overwhelmed him, they were all knocked back as taiyang had done a spin kick just before they reached him, snapping the necks of any Grimm that was on the receiving end of the attack. Seeing a dozen of their own being taken out from one attack, the Grimm growled and circled around taiyang who chuckled at their reaction.
" yeah don't judge a book by its cover now then who's ready for an ass kicking? Meanwhile, on the other side of the battle field, team RWBY and grim had stuck together until they had to reload, at which point, grim changed his weapon back to its scythe form and slashed a wide Range in front of him. This allowed team RWBY to assemble a shield wall of sorts, as Ruby jumped over grim and Rammed her scythe into the ground, before beginning to fire it at the robots and Grimm charging at them. Yang meanwhile, took the left flank, fighting back any Grimm that got close to Ruby, likewise Blake took the right side, and with her decoys, was able to distract and take out a great deal of Grimm as she sent her decoys to attack them, causing anyone who attacked a decoy, to become confused, until Blake drove her blade through their skulls. Weiss meanwhile, covered their backs, using her glyphs to bounce around the battle field, allowing her to take out Enemy's in the air or on the ground. As Ruby Pulled her scythe out of the ground, she ran straight forward with grim, the two cutting a dusty And oily line through the oncoming enemies. As they both used their scythes in practiced unison, both ducked each others swings at different times, allowing for a perfect defense to be formed as the two worked together. Seeing this from the hill he was watching the battle on, Therist stood up and turned to his compatriots.
" scar join the battle, Salem , cinder, Roman, and neo stay here, I'm joking as well. Therist then shadow traveled quickly towards grim, ready to seperate him and Ruby. However grim felt his aura coming, and smacked Therist out of the shadow realm, and to the ground.
" surprise bitch, my dad taught me how to sense your ass when you use your shadows. Therist chuckled evilly at this and wiped the blood away from his mouth.
" Tch so you've gotten skilled don't get cocky, because I still have some tricks. Therist then darted forward and grabbed grim by his throat before dragging him into the sky, making Ruby stare up in anger which, left her open for attack at least until, her team surrounded her In protective circle.
" Ruby grim can handle himself focus on the battle. Ruby frowned but nodded at yang before Yelling in anger and attacking the Grimm once again. Meanwhile Therist threw grim across from him, and allowed him to grow shadow wings to fly.
" you see I wanted to fight you alone, the little maggots down there would only get in the way. Grim growled at this and transformed his scythe into its sickles form and glared at Therist.
" oh is that it are you sure you just aren't afraid of our combined might? Therist growled at this and pointed his sword at grim.
" watch it you little shit, I may need you alive but I can kill your friends. Grim didn't respond to this, instead he flew towards Therist and the two clashed in a flash of white and black. Meanwhile inside of the school, ironwood stood with half of his body revealed to be robotic watching the last of the civilians board the ships.
" winter what's left of our soldiers? Winter came forward and sighed as she looked around.
" It appears that there's only fifty of us left sir I'm not sure if we can win this. Ironwood clenched his fit at this and glared outside at the ongoing battle.
" we have Paladins stored here, use them, as for you winter Go join the civillians.
Winters eyes widened at this and she tried to protest.
" but sir!? You'll die if we stay here. Ironwood nodded and grimaced as he looked around.
" I know this, it was due to my ignorance that Therist returned, so I shall pay the price today, take penny and her father with you. Winter glared at ironwood, and slapped him causing him to jerk back in surprise.
" To hell with orders and the military, I served you loyally and put my faith into you, I'll be dammed if I leave you here to die, if we're going to die , it's going to be together. Ironwood chuckled at this and nodded as he gestured for the remaining soliders to follow him or to go to a paladin as he himself got into one.
" very well then to battle we go.
As they walked towards the door, penny stepped in front of them.
" wait I want to help as well. Ironwood opens his mouth to speak, but before he could Pennys father came forward.
" penny its to dangerous out there please just lets leave. Penny for the first time turned to her father and glared at him.
" no my friends are out there fighting for us, I'm not going to let them die! Pennys father sighed at this and A tear rolled down his cheek as he nodded.
" very well go with them fight, just try to come back to me in one piece. Penny nodded and ran to her father to hug him.
" thanks daddy I love you. Pennys father nodded and was led away to the last ship as penny turned to ironwood.
" I'm combat ready sir! Ironwood smiled and nodded, before kicking down the schools door.
" charge! Ironwood and his remaining comrades charged out of the school, and ran towards the line of the enemy, surprising the Grimm and at first overwhelming them, as the few Paladins the Atlesian soliders had provided them with a great advantage. Penny herself was making a dent in enemy forces as she used her knives and her energy blasts to wipe out anything she could. Meanwhile back up in the air, Therist and grim had battled for ten minutes or so, though it seemed longer as in the air, they seemed to be even matched as they locked into multiple stalemates.
" seems ironwood is ready to die after all. Grim laughed at this and Glared at Therist as They circled each other once more.
" die? Seems the fight is starting to turn in our favor? Therist laughed this time as he backed away from grim and gestured to the fight.
" please all you would have down is save the civilians, no matter what atlas would have fallen especially after I called in the thunder bird. Therist then whistled, causing the thunder bird to fly towards its master as it came out of a shadow portal, dropping Grimm and sending lighting into buildings destroying them. Grims eyes widened at this but before he went to fight the avian monster, Therist spoke again.
" and that's not all I had planned grim for you see penny is infected with the virus as well, cinder activate order AHK 66. Following his orders, cinder activated Pennys virus allowing her to control penny, who's next target was ironwood in his paladin, who she quickly blasted. Ironwood as a result, was sent flying into the dirt as his aura depleted, leaving him vulnerable as penny stalked forward. As she did, winter ran forward to attack penny, only to be blasted aside and back into the school making Weiss Scream in horror.
" winter NO! Weiss then bolted towards the school to see if her sister was alright, as penny neared ironwood.
" penny please despite everything you were always a real girl don't let this evil control you. Pennys eyes changed color for half a second, before she once again charged up her laser and fired it point blank at ironwood. However instead of killing ironwood, penny instead had hit grim who flew down to block the attack. This however left grim shirtless and weakened as his mask began to crack.
" good shot...penny try... To hit ...Therist next time. Grim then collapsed as his mask shattered, causing penny and ironwood and anyone else who witnessed the event to stare at him in horror. Except of course Therist who just laughed at grims state.
" ha you see what fighting for the light gets you, do you see why you are weak? Ohoho nothing could make this moment better now penny finish ironwood off. Penny hesitated and shook her head no stepping in front of ironwood.
" pardon my language but fuck you! Therist growled at this and then laughed as he grabbed his sword.
" well you know it makes no difference to me. Therist then stabbed downwards, only to impale grim instead of penny.
" your- plans die with me. Therist and anyone who was watching gasped in shock and anger at this.
" what you insolent little brat, my plans will not die with you this just represents the opportunity to capture you. Therist then removed his sword from grims gut and reached out to grab him but before he could a white flash blinded him.
" what! That light where is it-. As Therist turned around, he saw Ruby covered in a white light and grit his teeth in anger.
" no impossible! Therist then whistled and pointed at Ruby sending the thunderbird to attack her but as it flew at her, Ruby split in half with her light, before slamming into Therist and sending him flying, until he crashed with an explosion of white light. Now that the immediate danger was done, Ruby hugged grim to her chest and began to cry, until nocturne appeared in front of her.
" Ruby we need to get everyone out of here and retreat if we want grim to live. Ruby nodded and wiped her tears away as everyone came forwards them and formed a circle around her, penny, ironwood, grim, Weiss , and winter. Nocturne then nodded and opened a shadow portal allowing the injured to leave first, then the teams, and finally the soliders when nocturne was the only one left, he quickly became surrounded by Grimm and robots however, Therist was the one who landed angrilily in front of him, with white fire burning at his skin.
" that little bitch has Montys light doesn't she, how did she get it nocturne just tell me and I'll let you leave in one price. Nocturne chuckled at therists anger and grinned at him.
" to be honest I don't know my self you'd have to ask summer but I reckon she gave it to Ruby as a baby, because unlike you ying yangs son Monty gave up his power to some one else to hold so that power can be transferred willingly. So you have no hope of obtaining it or snuffing it out. Therist growled at this and went to attack nocturne, only for Roman to appear and block the blow.
" that's enough out of you. Nocturne and Therist both stared at Roman in shock and Roman chuckled as he lit a cigar.
" yep I've been working for grim since he attacked me on the docks. Therist growled at this, before laughing as he looked at Roman.
" really you chose them over us what is there to gain from joining the hunters. Roman chuckled once more,and took a drag from his cigar before Looking Therist in the eyes.
" your a fool, if you think I was ever in this for the gain, I'm in this because of what I can't afford to loose. Therist stared at Roman for a moment before raising his sword and grinning at him.
" does that include your life. Roman grinned and flicked his cigar to the side before Pressing a button on his cane.
" not anymore. Roman then was swarmed by robotic parts as his custom made paladin was built around him. When the mech was done, it looks a lot like Roman with the exception of the head having Romans symbol as the visor.
" Nocturne get out of here I'll hold him off. Nocturne Shook his head at this and went to close the shadow portal but as he did, Roman sucker punched him into it, closing it and sending nocturne back to vale, leaving Roman virtually alone. Therist chuckled at this as he swung his sword around, and Got into a stance as Roman drew a giant knife from his Paladins side.
"I'm ready to die Therist are you? Therist laughed at this, before shadow traveling behind Roman, unknown to Therist however was the fact that Roman had camera attached to His mech. This allowed Roman to see Therist as he emerged from the shadows and gave him just enough to time block therists attack. Therist growled in response at this, and tried several more times to use his shadow powers to try and achieve victory but, nothing Seemed to give him the edge. However, after realizing that he couldn't end the fight fast, Therist traded for more brutal methods, as he battled fiercely with Roman Both attacking hard and trying to disable the other. After a while, Roman managed to slip up, and Therist gained the advantage, as he sliced Romans mech across the chest, sending the nerve responders into a haywire mess as they shocked Roman. Therist grinned evilly at Romans crus of pain and lifted Romans mech up with his shadows.
" yes yes scream let me enjoy your pain, now then time to die. Roman Chuckled in between his pained gasps and pressed a button inside his paladin, causing him to be ejected, as the paladin exploded in a ball of fire. When the smoke cleared, Roman was leaning up against a boulder breathing heavily, and Therist was standing in front of him with half of his mask gone.
" you know You depleted my aura, not that that matters as your about to die. Therist then Brought his sword back to himself before raising it in the air.
" any last words before I snuff out the torch. Roman chuckled and slowly lit one last cigar while grinning.
" I'll see you in hell. Therist growled at this and glared before he stabbed downwards.
" no you won't. Therists sword then slammed into Romans chest who in response shattered into glass shards making Therist roar.
" Damn it! Damn YOU TORCHWICK. Angry that both his prey and the traitors escaped, Therist turned around and walked towards the council building with cinder and Salem at his side.
" scavenge the city bring me anyone you find while I kill the council. Therist then used what little aura he had left, to use shadows to travel under the heavily barricade door as he entered the room. As Therist entered the room, he sent his scroll to record and left it on live stream to show all of the kingdoms what he was about to do as he removed his mask.
" welcome council members of atlas, to hell! What happened next would haunt people for generations, as Therists shadow was seen, as he unhinged his jaw and Tore out the throats of the council members. When Therist came back into view of the scroll, Blood could be seen around his mouth as he put his mask back on.
" atlas was just the first who will be next well you better be prepared, because I am coming, and if you resist me you will die just as they have. Therist then stopped the recording and left the building, meeting cinder and Salem outside.
" do you have something for me? Cinder and Salem nodded and led Therist to the jail of atlas.
" there's a man here who wants to see you. Therist nodded and headed inside and found a light purple skinned, black haired man grinning at him.
" so your Therist hmm your my idol. Therist raised an eyebrow at this and tilted his head.
" I'm your idol why, why are you in here? The man grinned and licked his fangs as he shrugged.
" oh you know killed a team of hunters and fed their bodies to the Grimm for fun. Therist chuckled at this and Sat down in a near by chair as he looked at the man.
" hmm perhaps I could use some one like you tell me what is your name? The man in the cell smiled and bowed, taking off his purple hat and fixing his purple Leather coat.
" victor violet at your service m'lord how may I serve you. Therist grinned at his introduction, and sliced victors cell apart freeing him.
" return with me to my base Become another one of my generals, and help me take control of remanent. Victor grinned and nodded as he shook therists hand.
" it's a deal my lord. Therist nodded and smiled.
" good then as your first mission, I'm sending you to Vale to inject grim reaper with my blood, afterwords he should listen to you, bring him back to me, i will be watching if you need assistance I will come to your aid. Victor saluted and grinned as Therist opened a shadow portal under him sending him to vale, after this Therist turned back to cinder and Salem.
" we shall stay here for the night, and then go back to my pyramid to continue planning. Therist then Walked towards the atlas school Ready for some rest after his long fight. Five hours later, and grim was in the hospital alone, as visitor time was currently over, when victor entered a room dressed as a nurse.
" man it was a bitch to sneak in here but your ours now little grim. Victor then pulled out the syringe of blood from his brocket and injected it into grim. Almost immediately, Grims veins turned black and his skin started to turn white as this happened though an alarm went off.
" shit I have to hide, I'll meet you outside when your done in here. As the alarm went off grim opened his eyes revealing them to be red as a new mask, made of shadows covered his face, just as the power went out. When the power did go out a nurse rushed into his room with a flash light and a baton in her hand.
" mister reaper are you alright-. The nurse however never got to finish her sentence, as the shadows pierced her frame and dragged her into the darkness silencing her. The new feral grim then allowed his shadows to creep down the hall as he shut down all power and made it dark Allowing him to kill anyone he found in the hospital. Meanwhile else where, team RWBY was currently in the cafeteria talking about the battle with Nocturne, Qrow,Winter,Ironwood,penny,Raven, Roman, neo,and taiyang.
" I hope grims alright, the hospital did say they could save him but. However before Ruby could finish her sentence, yang hugged her to help her calm down.
" hey sis he'll be fine he's a fighter. Nocturne stayed silent over at his table, much to the dismay of the others.
" you know I may be an ex criminal but everyone needs to talk about their problems, I mean I did with neo. Roman then waved to neo who was seated with team RWBY, who in response waved back and smiled.
" you should talk to your friends nocturne. Nocturne sighed and opened his mouth to speak, before freezing as a look of shock crossed his face.
" some ones slaughtered people in the hospital. Nocturne then opened a shadow portal and traveled over to the hospital. Hearing what nocturne said team RWBY left as well leaving most of team Qrts alone, with Roman, neo, ironwood,winter,and penny.
" well You should probably go help me and the others are injured or knocked out the princess over there certainly is, ironwood and I are beat up to shit neo won't leave me, and penny won't leave the general. Qrow sighed at this and took a drink from his flask before turning to the others, Raven, tai, lets go save our family shall we? The others nodded and Raven opened up a red portal for the group to travel through. When both groups arrived at the hospital, they found it to be burning making some of them their cry. Nocturne meanwhile clenched his fist in anger and punched the ground leaving cracks in the cement.
" DAMN IT, damn you Therist. Laughter followed Nocturnes sentence, as Therist appeared before him.
" why so glum chum, mad cause you lost your son. Nocturne went to attack Therist but was Stopped as victors knife Stopped his scythe.
" sorry friend but I can't let ya hurt my boss , Man grim didn't even put up a fight though so I can understand your anger. Ruby gasped at this and tears filled her eyes as yang turned and glared at victor.
" shut your stupid mouth! Victor turned and grinned at yang as he Grabbed his second knife.
" you remind me of this blonde kid I killed once she had a lot of spirit to until I snuffed it out. This was yangs breaking point as she ran forward to punch victor, but he saw this coming as he dodged her punch and sliced her right arm off .
" looks like you've been disarmed. Therist growled at victors pun and slapped him upside the head before turning to the two groups as he threw yang towards them.
" Grim is mine now and if anyone from here on in resists me they will receive much worse then a severed arm let this be a warning to you all. Therist then disappeared with victor into the shadows leaving the two groups with nothing but sorrow and pain.
