As predicted in a months time, grim was indeed ready to emerge from his cocoon. As he awoke, Grims only thoughts were hatred and a thirst for blood, this was also further proven, as he tore his shadow cocoon apart revealing his new form. Grims face was now more Grimm like, he had a canine like Grimm mask with red markings, and a red eye on the front of it, grimes eyes and teeth were a crimson red, and grims body was covered in Grimm bone armor, other then this his new form also had wings and a tail. Victor smiled at the new grim and clapped his hands in glee.
" oh goody right on midnight, it really has been a month again oh I'm so excited a month is far to long to wait to slit someone's throat, oh I do hope I get to kill a blonde I love hurting them. Grim growled at this, and pinned Victor up against the wall with his tail, making Victor laugh.
" oh ho ho your a feisty one that's good you should be quite a surprise to vacuo. Grims growl got louder at this, as he moved his mouth closer to victors throat, ready to tear it out, until Therist appeared.
" that's enough grim stand down. Grim turned and sniffed at Therist, before growling and setting Victor down. Victor chuckled as Therist walked over to him and grim, and tipped his hat.
" good to see you my lord, ready to get back to killing? Therist chuckled as he nodded at Victor but, frowned as he rubbed his chin.
" yes but there is one problem, I can transfer The Grimm and the robots we have back to here, but there are no shadows in the desert, none big enough for a portal that could fit our army, so we're going to have to walk there. Victor frowned at this and tapped his foot on the floor.
" well that's not good that'll take days to make that trip. Therist nodded in agreement at this and frowned as well.
" despite the set back, it is imperative that we Surround Vale from all sides, so we can overwhelm them, then no amount of teamwork and dust will save them. Victor nodded at this and put his hat back on before turning to grim.
" and what about shadow boy here? Therist grinned as he looked at grims feral new face and answered Victor.
" he'll be leading the attacks, and I hope you bring a camera to record it all Victor because you won't want to forget what's coming. Preparations then started, as Therist summoned cinder and Salem back to his pyramid, before bringing most of his army over as well.
" the robots can stay in atlas and Guard it we can handle this with Grimm only now then let's move out. Therist and the others then began to walk in vacuos direction as the army of Grimm followed them. Meanwhile none of this went unnoticed by nocturne, who was spying on Therist for over a month, while the refugees and hunters trained and recovered.
" marching towards vacuo are you Therist Tch now we have a chance to go and help this kingdom. Nocturne then Narrowed his eyes, as Therist turned back to look in his direction before shaking his head and walking again. Nocturne then smirked from the tree he was blended in with, before disappearing into the shadows. When nocturne appeared back inside beacon, he was quickly surrounded by students and people trying to learn what he figured out, at least until Ozpin spoke out.
" ENOUGH! Please don't crowd nocturne he has a very important report for me, I will then tell you what decision I make on the matter. Ozpin and nocturne then headed down the hall towards his office, speaking as they went.
" how bad is it nocturne? Nocturne sighed as he walked, and pulled out a flask of his own, before pulling back his mask and taking a drink before he spoke.
" It's bad, he's marching towards vacuo right now, I didn't see grim anywhere, but Therist has yet another general now. Ozpin frowned at this, as they entered the elevator to his office, and sipped from his tea in thought.
" that is most disconcerting, We should be able to make it there before Therist but there is a problem. Nocturne tilted his head at this, and took his mask off fully.
" what is the problem? Ozpin sighed as he said in his chair, and swiveled it around to look out over at vale.
" we would have to use Rubys powers over the light to help us open a portal, or Ravens own should that not hold up but the issue is not getting a portal, it's can the portals carry Many of us that are traveling instead of just A dozen of us. Nocturne Frowned at this and Began to fade into the shadows.
" I'll see what I can do, don't worry about it Oz. Ozpin said nothing in return, and merely sipped his tea as he thought about his life up to this point. Five minutes later, and nocturne was at team RWBYs door, and knocked on it, only to be surprised when summer opened the door in her pajamas which, were much like Rubys own.
" hey nocty what's up? Nocturne blushed under his mask from his nickname being said once again, before Speaking to summer.
" I came to tell Ruby something about her light powers. Summer smiled at this, and leaned against the door, while crossing her arms.
" oh don't worry about it, I already got her up to date on how the powers work while we had a sleep over. Nocturnes interest peaked at this and he tilted his head.
" you had a sleep over? Who all is in that room. Nocturne then tilted his head past summer, and saw that all the girls known from beacon and atlas were in the room, and waved to him.
" hi nocturne.
" how did you all fit in here? Summer frowned and looked down at this, making nocturne frown in concern.
" what's wrong? Summer sighed as she pointed to Grims room.
" Ruby combined her teams room, and Grims room to fit everyone, But right now, she's outside flying ranma. Nocturnes face softened at this as he took off his mask and laid a hand on Summer's shoulder.
" how long as she been flying him? Summer smiled at nocturnes hand and grabbed it as she spoke.
" since she woke up you gonna go get her? Nocturne nodded, and kissed summers hand before putting his mask back on.
" yep and I hope you all get in gear and eat, cause Therist is marching on vacuo. All of the girls jumped up at this in surprise, and summers eyes narrowed, before she darted into the room and came back out dressed.
" what do you need Ruby for? Nocturne blinked surprised that summer was already dressed and arched an eyebrow.
" did you just change in front of all those girls? Summer's eye twitched at this, and she blushed as she hit nocturne over the head.
" nows not the time to tease me you Baka, You need Ruby to open a portal don't you? Nocturne nodded and rubbed his head before speaking.
" either her or Raven to form the portal. Summer's eyes narrowed at this, and she zoomed back into the room before pulling out a fully geared up Raven.
" then we are using Raven. Raven looked in between nocturne and summer before turning and staring at summer.
" did you just change my clothes? Summer nodded with a serious face and Raven frowned at Summer's next words.
" I was gentle i promise. Raven face palmed and blushed at this, while nocturne chuckled before speaking.
" as amusing as your banter is to watch, we have a more pressing manner of Therist to attend to- nocturnes speech was however cut off as all of the girls busted out of the room geared up.
" I think that's the fastest I've ever seen girls get ready. Summer slapped nocturne again for his comment, and gestured for the girls to follow her.
" all of us will round up everyone else and get the portal ready, you get Ruby and ranma. Nocturne nodded, and faded into the shadows. Luckily for nocturne, ranmas shadow was large and nocturne was able to shadow travel to it, before flying in front of ranma and Ruby.
" Hey there red how's it hanging? Ruby smiled at seeing nocturne and sat up on ranma.
" just going for a nice flight what's up. Nocturne frowned under his mask, and nocturne flew closer to ranma before speaking.
" Therist is marching on vacuo your mother sent me to get you and ranma. Rubys eyes narrowed at this and she nodded, as she looked down at ranma.
" let's go save your daddy ranma. Ranma roared in response, and then flew back towards beacon as nocturne watched them.
" damn she's pissed off that Grims gone, wonder if summer would be the same way with me, better not test it. Nocturne then flew after ranma and Ruby to meet them at beacon. When everyone was geared up and ready, nocturne was reading off a list to check to see if the teams were ready.
" team RWBY here, team JNPR here, team CRDL here, team CFVY here, team FNKI here, team REAPER here, team QRTS here, and team penny and Ciel are here, very good, all other teams are either here, at vacuo, or mistral and we can provide assistance when the time comes but for today, we will be trying to defend vacuo from the Grimm this entire year so far has been a hard grueling one, but by the end of this year this war will hopefully be over. Nocturne then nodded to Raven, who rammed her sword into the ground causing a massive portal to form behind her.
" everyone go through quickly I can feel my energy draining. Hearing this, nocturne pointed towards the portal as he ran forward.
" everyone move forward now! Nocturne and all of the teams and students, jumped through the portal although before he left, taiyang kissed Raven on the cheek.
" thanks for the help Hun I promise I'll come back in one piece. Raven rolled her eyes at this and allowed herself to collapse, into the arms of winter and ironwood who along with Roman, neo,Glynda, oobleck,port, and Ozpin, saw the students off.
" we got you Raven that was great. Roman clapped after hearing this and lit a cigar.
" yes bravo Feathers, but I have a question for you, will all of them make it through safe? Ironwoods eye brow rose at this as he turned to Roman and tilted his head.
" you sound like you care about their well being. Roman scoffed at this, and crossed his arms, putting his hat over his eyes as neo giggled at him.
" hey don't get me wrong, I'm a jerk I know, but ... Those brats have really rubbed off on me grim especially and I just- wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't help and something went wrong. Ozpin stepped forward and laid a Hand on Romans shoulder.
" calm yourself Roman it will be alright and if Therist does harm any of my children-ILL REBUILD THE KINGDOMS ON THERISTS BONES. Romans and everyone else's eyes widened at ozpins anger, surprised that such a calm man had such anger buried away, until Ozpin calmed down and spoke again.
" oh my excuse me, I lost my exposure for a second there. Glynda however, stared at Ozpin in awe, and fumbled to find words until ironwood spoke up.
" this issue aside what about the council, we've done so much without telling them. Ozpins eyes narrowed at this, as he shook his head and turned around.
" after watching Therist tear the throats of atlas's council out, our gracious council has chosen to flee to their homes and hide forget them, we shall save the remaining kingdoms together, and when this war is done we shall rebuild, and reunite our kingdoms once again. As the group thought about the future, The army of vale, appeared in front of vacuo. Nocturne looked around at all the sand and sighed.
" hot, windy, and annoying yep this is vacuo, Hello in there can we be allowed inside. The doors to vacuos gate stayed closed for a moment, until the door opened and a dark skinned man with horns came out to give nocturne a bear hug.
" nocturne my old friend how ya been bud! Nocturne gasped as he was crushed by the hug and shadow traveled over to summer as he gasped for air.
" woah Dez calm down man I know it's been a couple years but don't crush my ribs. The now named Dez chuckled, and rubbed the back of his head before chuckling.
" heh sorry nocturne I forget my strength, hey uh what's with the crowd here nocty. Summer's eyes narrowed slyly as she smirked at nocturne and poked him in the face.
" Yeah nocturne aren't you going to tell him why we're all here. Dez turned to summer as she spoke, and his eyes widened as he saw her.
" wait your summer rose arnt you your the one nocturne said he had a crush on! Nocturne blushed Deeply at this, and Face palmed his mask, before turning to summer who was smirking up at him.
" yes thank you Dez for shouting out what I confided in you five years ago when I came here on vacation. Summer chuckled and kissed nocturnes lips where his mouth would be before speaking to Dez again.
" we're here because Therist is marching on your city Dez. Dez eyes widened at this as he turned to their whole group.
" you all better come inside then so we can discuss this. The group then moved inside of the city, and headed towards Vacuos school, where they were greeted by team NDGO and the rest of the academy as Dez stood at a podium.
" my students, our friends from vale arrived A little bit ago and have brought me grave news, a vast score of Grimm are coming With the one known as Therist leading them, please remain calm and go reinforce our buildings while I talk to our allies about the situation we could face. Dez then turned away from the podium, and headed towards a hotel, where the meeting would be taking place. As nocturne and most of team QRTS filled in Dez, the teams were all relaxing in rooms they were provided. Ruby however, was staring out the window, with grims scythe in her hand.
" this is all I have of him now girls, what am I going to do now? Yangs face softened as she laid her robotic arm on Rubys shoulder and turned her around.
" Ruby, I know it's hard loosing grim again but we'll get him back. Ruby sniffles at this, and clutched grims scythe tighter before snapping at yang with tears now flowing out of her eyes.
" and how would you know that! All of our efforts to stop Therist have been crushed, atlas is gone, Xander's gone, and now once again so is grim, why does everyone I love get hurt why can't I help anyone? Yang flinched at Rubys increased volume but smiled softly as she gestured to their team.
" hey we're all still here aren't we rubes? We'd never Stop fighting for you. Yang then hugged Ruby as Blake spoke up next.
" despite everything Ruby you've done so much good, and made me feel like I have a family again. Blake then joined in the hug as well, before Ruby turned to a frowning Weiss.
" come on now don't be so childish, where's the leader that helped me change my ways, and held this team together through all of our missions. Ruby sniffles at this, and held out her arms for Weiss,while Blake and yang sandwiched her in the hug. Weiss smiled at this, and joined in on the hug making Ruby giggle in happiness at her faithful team. This moment however, did not last for long, as a knock was heard on the door. Yang growled at the knock, and her eyes turned red as she aimed her robotic arm at the door.
" whoever that is better have something to say unless they want to get blown through a wall. The person behind the door hesitated, before opening it revealing it to be Atrail.
" Should I take that as a pun or literally, because I really don't feel like getting shot or punched. Yang arched an eye brow at Atrail, who was only in swimming trunks at the moment.
" why are you just in swimming trunks. Atrail shrugged at this and turned around as he did.
" oh team REAPERs having a pool party so we were wondering if the other teams wanted to come. Yang smiled at this and turned her smile down to the rest of the tea,.
" how about it Ruby up for some fun. Ruby frowned at this and looked unsure.
" I don't know Therist could be here at any time. Yang rolled her eyes at this, and got out of the hug to grab her swim suit.
" oh come on, nocturne said it would take a couple of days, we have time at least today to relax. Ruby thought about it for a moment before nodding, causing her team to cheer, while yang turned to Atrail.
" we'll be down in a few Aqua stalker. Atrail frowned at his nick name and face palmed as yang chuckled.
" yang no that makes me sound like I'm some kind of creep, anyways I'll see you at the pool I'm going to invite jaunes team next. While Atrail was finishing up with rubys team, Jaune was sitting uncertainly on his bed looking at his sword, before throwing it at the wall, embedding it in it, causing his team to gasp as he spoke up.
" we should have done something to help a month ago. Ren nodded at this and sat in silence while Nora frowned and tilted her head.
" but we wouldn't have done much better then rubys team what would the point be? Jaune sighed as he wiped his eyes and looked down at the floor.
" I don't know maybe if we were there, we could have helped protect grim, or at least stopped Therist from doing so much damage to him by using Penny. Pyrrha frowned at these words, and pried jaunes sword out of the wall before walking up to him, and crouching so she could look into his eyes.
" you blame your self for grim being hurt? How does that make sense. Jaune sighed as he looked into Pyrrhas eyes and frowned.
" it's just were all friends, and All of the teams have been helping each other until that attack, why? Why did grim go face such unbeatable odds. Pyrrha shrugged at this and smiled as she kissed Jaune, calming him down.
" probably because he has so much hope, and determination to protect others Jaune, it's just the way he is, he's a good person and so are you. Nora nodded at this, and appeared between the two.
" yeah your a great leader isn't that right ren. Jaune then turned to ren, who gave him a simple thumbs up in reply making him smile.
" thanks team that means a lot to me. Much like before, the door was knocked on once again ruining a tender moment.
" room service. Jaune growled as he heard this, and threw his sword through the door, causing the person outside to chuckled, as he opened the door, revealing it to be Atrail again.
" now Jaune that was very knight of you. Jaune And the others groaned at the pun on nice and knight, before Jaune noticed how Atrail was dressed.
" you guys going swimming? Can we join in. Atrail nodded and smiled as he began to walk away.
" well duh that's why I came up here stupid come join us while I go get the others. Atrail then did the same to the rest of the teams, until he was back at the pool with the others having fun. While this happened, Dez Grain was in his office, with Team QRST talking about Therist.
" hmm this is grave news indeed I am sorry for the Disappearance of your son, so I have a plan if your willing to hear it. Nocturne nodded and looked back at his team who all nodded, before turning back to Dez.
" alright lay it on us. As they planned, therists army marched on, and Therist rode beside Victor as he watched cinder stare at grim.
" she has an obsession with grim doesn't she Victor. Victor looked up from the skull he was carving and shrugged as he threw the skull.
" I guess so I haven't been around long enough to know, but she's been staring at him since she saw him. Therist nodded and rubbed his forehead as they walked.
" ugh this heat sucks, I hope we get there in two days. Victor smiled and Got one of his knives out, before cleaning his teeth with it, picking out a finger.
" Don't worry my lord two days will pass by like nothing and then we'll take over this sandy hell hole. As Victor said, two days did indeed pass by quickly, and therists army was now gathered in front of a giant wall of sand.
" people of vacuo, this mere wall of sand will not stop us, we will climb over this wall, and we will break through your city walls, if you surrender we will spare you. Silence answered Therist who growled before gesturing to grim who was in the lead of his army.
" Kill them all no survivors no on escapes. Grim nodded, and then roared as he took to the sky, causing the other Grimm to roar in unison and charge at the wall, as grim flew towards it. However as this happened, the sand wall lifted, and slammed down into a large amount of the Grimm crushing them. Grim however saw this coming, and used this to his advantage as he dove into the city. Therist however growled in anger as The sand piled up, forming cover, as the students of vale and atlas were lined up behind it.
Nocturne grinned at therists angry expression and waved at him.
" open fire! The students of vale and atlas then opened fire taking out Hundreds of Grimm as they did. Therists anger grew at this, but he sat back and watched, with cinder, Salem,Victor, and scar by his side as the battle carried on.
" sire, it appears grim has made it into the city look atop the wall. Therist turned to Victor, and smiled before turning to look at the city walls. What he saw filled him with massive amounts of glee. Grim was on the wall and with his increased strength, was crushing the students of vacuo that were on the wall. They tried to fire their weapons and attack grim, but grim merely used his shadows to block the dust and his two new swords to Block and slash anyone who neared him. Eventually grim got tired of defending and jumped forward, before slamming two students head into the wall hard enough for a crack to be heard, before he threw the two new corpses at more of their comrades, knocking them off, into the ever oncoming Grimm army. As the battle for vacuo went bad on the inside, the outside defense was holding and Therist was hating it.
" those stupid ignorant fools I have the numbers advantage here what do they think they're going to do here. Victor shrugged and watched the battle with interest.
" we never expected them to be here, we may win this battle, but at the cost of aloft of your Grimm master. Therist snorted and turned to Victor and cinder with a grin on his face.
" cinder give Victor some of your left over dynamite so we can blow a hole into the city. On the front lines, the students had to reload, so they switched their weapon modes, and charged forward together to tackle the Grimm causing a sufficient push forward as they worked together. This was in strict contrast, to the inside of vacuo, which was being torn apart by grim, Of course eventually the students of vacuo knew how much of a monster grim was now, his punchs could go through aura and crack bones, and his skill with a blade seemed to be almost unnatural but, the worst thing happened when grim was surrounded in a circle. The students glared at grim, who merely grinned at them all with his red teeth, before doing something that would horrify them, grims hands cracked and broke, before spinning around in a wide circle, causing a bladed whirlwind to form. The students however snapped out of their shock quickly and attacked as one to try and kill grim. This however, was in vain, as grims spinning blades allowed no one to pierce his defense, and this in turn left them open for attack, as grim Back flipped and swung his tail In a circle, knocking a dozen more students into the hateful maws of the grim below. Grim then laughed evilly at this, or at least he did until Dez tackled him off the wall and into the city below.
" you fucking monster I'm going to tear you apart piece by piece. Grimm growled at his new prey and kicked him off of himself, as the two impacted onto the roof of a building crushing it. Dez growled as he stood up and rolled his arms as he and grim locked eyes.
" your good I'll give you that but let's see if you can beat me with my sand armor. Dez then Snapped his fingers, and The sand around him rose to cover him, forming a samurai suit, as Dez pulled out a curved key blade. Grim growled at this, and picked up his swords before his arms started to spin around again as he neared Dez who's eyes narrowed as he did.
" your a disgusting creature, I will end your evil right now. Dez then snapped his fingers again and sand spikes rose from the ground where grim would have been, if his heightened sense allowed him to feel the sands movement, allowing him to jump forward and dodge the attack, as he slammed into Dez. Dez grunted, as he slid back a few feet, and stared at grim in Surprise.
" you shouldn't have dodged that what, what are you?! Grim grinned, and tripped Dez with his tail before catching him by the throat with his foot as he lifted him up to his face as he spoke.
" I am the shadow of death, and I have come for you. Grim then spun around, and threw Dez through several buildings causing them to crumble as he went through them. Grim laughed evilly as he saw the buildings fall and walked through the rubble with a grin on his face. The grin however soon faded, as he found Dez standing up from the last building he crashed into with his sand armor gone.
" well your alive that's impressive still you won't live for long. Dez grit his teeth, as he popped an aura pill into his mouth and formed his sand armor once more.
" I'll fight you for as long as it takes. Grim grinned evilly, and charged forward once more as an explosion rocked the wall. Seeing this, some of the Grimm split off from the main group and ran in through the hole swarming into the somewhat defenseless city. Seeing this, Ruby Called to nocturne to speak to him, and found him fighting with summer by his side, the two fluidly darting in between each other and cutting Grimm apart.
" nocturne they made a hole in the wall, it looks like a lot of damage has already been done. Nocturne and summer both turned to Ruby after hearing this, and summer held off the grimm.
" then go intercept them we got the front army but if some snuck in already it could already been a massacre. Ruby nodded, and gestured to the rest of her team, who followed her, as they jumped over the wall. Seeing team RWBY moving, Jaune called to his own team, who followed suit as they to jumped over the wall Ruby looked surprised as Jaune followed them and tilted her head.
" Jaune what are you doing here. Jaune grimaced, as he decapitated a Beowolf, and smiled at Ruby after he kicked it's dead body away.
" being useful for once. Ruby Chuckled at jaunes response and shook her head as the two teams attacked the oncoming Grimm. Outside the wall, team REAPER stuck close to summer and nocturne and we're doing a good job of helping hold off the Grimm. Atrail sliced them with his axe, Penelope shocked them with her war hammer, Elijah cut them with his great sword, Remus burned them with his katana blades, and Evan tore them apart with his clawed knuckles. Summer smiled at her team and looked at nocturne with compassion.
" I'm glad to have the help from everyone there's a lot of Grimm in here. Five hours later, and the battle seemed to be bleak even with Pennys laser and skill the Grimm still managed to push forward, The battle field was littered in dust and blood from the corpses of the dead Grimm and hunters, the inside of the city looked no better with only the school looking perfect. And it was at the school, where nocturne opened a portal for evacuation.
" summer, get as many of the People of vacuo out as you can, We'll fight and retreat when that's done. Summer's eyes narrowed at this, and nocturne looked confused for a moment, before summer tore off his mask and kissed him passionately.
" come back to me nocty. Summer then disappeared into White rose petals, much to Qrows and taiyangs amusement, who were watching as they fought back to back. Taiyang punched any Grimm that neared Qrow, while Qrow slashed any Grimm he could reach.
" those two really are amusing. Taiyang rose an eyebrow at Qrows words and chuckled.
" you mean like you and winter are. Qrow groaned at this, and Took a quick drink from his flask, before spitting out the alcohol as he fired his scythe, causing a wave of Grimm to catch on fire. While this was happening, Dez and grim had continued their fight for five hours, and both were in different shapes, grim was still powerful and bloodthirsty, while Dez was injured badly, his body had two long slashes around his chest, one of his horns was missing, and His body was covered in bruises.
" come on old man we've been fighting for five hours, just surrender and die peacefully. Dez grit his teeth, and Fired a sand arrow at grims face, only for grim to catch the arrow by the head with his teeth and crush it before he laughed.
" fine then you wish to resist then this city will become a tomb, and the first corpse going to be buried in it is yours. Grim then ran forward, and kicked Dez hard in the chest, almost depleting his aura, as he flew straight into the school doors and through them, landing at the feet of the refugees who were evacuating through the back door. Grim then grinned as he flew forward into the school,unable to be stopped by anyone as they were fighting off Grimm from all sides. Though a certain red blur could be seen following him.
As Grim entered the school, he slowed down and fell, so that he landed on dez's chest with a sickening crack breaking both his aura and his ribs, causing him to cough up blood. Grim grinned as the blood splattered on his face, and Leaned down to look Dez in the eyes.
" ready to die in front of your people. Dez spit the blood that was in his mouth at grim and chuckled as he looked into his eyes.
" my death will only give them determination. Grim laughed at this, and put his blades into the floor before speaking.
" determination, your death will only crush their spirit and soon after I will crush their bones. Dez opened his mouth to speak but froze, as a toy sword smacked into grims back. Grims eyes narrowed and he quickly turned around, only to see a tearful five year old girl standing there pointing the toy sword at grim.
" l-leave m-my d-da-Dady alone y-you monster! Grim flinched back from the word monster visibly as his eyes widened, and he whimpered before, Shaking his head as his body morphed a bit back to normal much to the shock of a watching red hooded sniper who had aimed at grims head.
" grim!? Grims eyes widened even more, and he gasped in horror as he looked past dez's daughter and saw Ruby staring at him with tears in her eyes.
" Ruby I'm- I'm so sorry I can't -grr- can't control myself. Grim then began to cry, and beg for forgiveness, as Therist began to take hold of him once again.
" please before I turn into that monster again grrraaah- huff-huff- please forgive me, I don't - I don't want to be a monster. Dez's daughter sniffles, and hugged grim along with Ruby in sadness, and grim cried with them, until he was once again in his feral form.
" I must flee now before I hurt anyone else, I won't be able to control myself in the future so if it comes down to it kill me. Ruby gasped at this and tried to speak but nothing came out as grim patted dez's daughter on the head before taking off and leaving the city much to therists ire.
" the hell is he leaving for could he have been injured, cinder go meet him at the pyramid, scar I'm going to leave you here with some Grimm to hold the remains of this hell hole, Salem your coming with me along with Vic- where's Victor? After Therist said this, Victor came around the corner with a bloody necklace made from skulls in his hand.
" hey boss I was just out Having some fun what's up. Therist chuckled at victors necklace and pointed towards the school.
" our victory is. Back inside of the school Ruby and dez's daughter both were crying for different reasons. One for the loss of their lover, the other over the pain their father was in at the moment. This however soon ended, as rubys team came to get her along with team QRST who were the last ones left.
" Ruby are you alright what happened. As yang and rubys team crowded over her, nocturne ran to Dez and check his friend to see if he was still alive, which got him a pained gasp as he touched dez's broken ribs.
" careful nocty your son really messed me up hehe, ow it hurts to laugh. Nocturne froze after he heard what Dez said and Took a minute to register it before Growling and slamming his fist into the floor.
" NO! I was warned about this, Damn it how could I be so blind? Team QRST looked at him questioningly but he waved them off as he picked up Dez and his daughter.
" let's get you two out of here. Seeing that nocturne was fine now, summer ran over to her daughters team and overheard their conversation.
" Therist is controlling grim that bastard I'll I'll kill him! Ruby then tried to dart forward only to be stopped by her team as Blake spoke first.
" Ruby revenge isn't always the answer. Weiss shook her head in agreement and frowned.
" morals aside, there's no way you can fight Therist now your outnumbered, we're out numbered and all of us are tired it would be suicide to rush him now. Yangs eyes turned red after hearing this, and she swiftly knocked Ruby out with a chop to the neck, causing her to slump into her arms.
" sorry sis it was for your own good, summer are we already to go? Summer frowned in sadness at Ruby, before nodding as The two groups then left in the portal just as Therist, Victor, and Salem entered the school, much to therists anger anger.
" damn it, damn it damn it! Victor seemed confused by therists anger and tilted his head.
" what's wrong my lord the city is ours. Therist nodded and sighed as he looked around.
" more of them got away this time Victor, their predicting my movements becoming more unified and dangerous, unfortunately I can't have us teleport to mistrial, because A I lost so many Grimm in this battle and B THERE ARE ALMOST NO SHADOWS HERE! Damn it they can prepare another trap for me
Like the sand wall. Victor sweat dropped at therists anger and backed up slowly.
" please my lord calm down, we will win this war with grim on our side. Therists eyes narrowed, but then he smiled and nodded as he thought it through.
" yes your right, I suppose I should enjoy my victory here, and wait for another army to form. While Therist said this, Salem was frowning but kept her thoughts to herself, as Therist Began to remodel the destroyed kingdom. Cinder on the other hand, was using her powers to control grim into kissing her, or at least trying to anyway as grim resisted her.
" come now darling I just want a kiss is that so bad? Grim growled at cinder and gnashed his teeth together, making cinder chuckle as she pronounced her next words slowly.
"Oh I love it when they put up a fight, but you are mine grim. Cinder then punctuated this sentence, by kissing grim Passionately and while he resisted at first, he wasn't able to for long as his new blood affected him and made him kiss her back even if he didn't want to.
" see now that's more like it dear, I hope that allows you to sleep well goodnight. Cinder then slithered out of grims room much to his annoyance, as he wrapped his tail around the rafters and went to sleep like a bat, a tear slowly falling off his face and hitting the floor.
