Chapter 8: Girls Night, Gone Wrong.

Ruby slammed a massive, thick book down on the table of her dorm, startling her team who all jumped out of bed.

"Hey, you all are finally awake!" The silver eyed huntress said, not noticing her three teammates all holding their heads in pain.

"What on earth is wrong with you?!" Weiss grunted as she stood up. "We were doing just fine." her eyes caught Penny standing behind Ruby.

"Nothing, it's just that, with all the Vytal Festival coming up, I think we should all have a Girl's Night out!" she replied to her ice queen teammate.

"But...we're a team of 4 girls!" Weiss shook her head in annoyance./

"Come on, it'll be fun, The four of us, Penny, Nora, Pyrrha, and Sarah. I think she'd especially appreciate being away from the boys for a little while!"

Blake shrugged her shoulders as she looked out the window. "I don't know, seems like a bad time to do it, especially since we should probably be out looking for Torchwick, and the White Fang. I'd still like to know why they've decided to work with a human."

"What are we even going to do?" Yang asked. "I doubt Moon will want Sarah going anywhere that might even suggest her having fun without him."

"Oh come on, he isn't incapable of having fun!" Weiss snapped.

Ruby chuckled a little. "Do you have a crush on him too?" she joked, making Weiss glare at her. "Maybe you two should go at it, if we show Sarah how much fun she can have without him, maybe you and Moon could be a perfect match together."

"Let's not ruin a relationship, thank you very much." Blake replied, narrowing her eyes at Ruby. "Getting back on track though, Yang does have a point, is there anything we can do that would be...let's just say...Moon approving?"

"Well, Penny found out there's going to be a large group of performances tonight at the local nightclub, not the one you trashed earlier, Yang."

"Indeed, a lovely chubby boy told me that they are offering free entrance for students tonight in celebration for the upcoming Vytal Festival."

"That...actually doesn't sound bad." Weiss uncrossed her arms. "I...I didn't know anything about it though. Normally these school hosted events are announced."

"I say we go check it out, in that case." Yang shrugged.


"Use you goddamn Dair!" Erick shouted as Luigi Up-B'd Sapphire and shot the blue haired boy into the blast zone. "Hell, use any aerial to land. Your axe makes the hitboxes so massive!"

"How do I dair! More importantly...what's a Dair?!" Sapphire muttered, watching his younger self go flying off into the void of Northern Cave, damning the person who had KO'd him. "More importantly, why do I sound more like a tough harsh commander? They used the model of my younger self instead of my olderself."

"All you have to do is press the little control stick down, then press A!" Erick muttered. "Hell, you could just press A in the air with no input to perform a Nair!"

"This Sakurai guy must hate my character then," Sapphire protested as Erick landed one grab as Luigi and proceeded to Zero-to-death him. "I've got a Big hitbox, I'm slower than molasses, My moves barely connect, I should go give him a piece of my mind. I don't deserve to be lower than Ganon on the Tier Lists!"

"Let's not make stupid meta meta-jokes." Erick muttered. "At this point, we're parodying a parody of a parody!"

"Parodysecption!"

"That's not even a word!" Erick muttered. "You know what, pick someone else if you think you suck." The blue haired boy shrugged as he started up another match against Erick's R.O.B. Now playing as Moon.

"Go Uncle Erick! Zoom!" Astro honked as the game started.

"That's BROKEN!" Erick suddenly shouted as Sapphire used Moon to Critically hit Erick with a Forward smash. "Who on the dev team decided that every attack in Moon's kit should deal continuous damage in a FIGHTING GAME?! All you did was hit me with 2 jabs! Then CRIT!"

Sarah sighed as she brushed her hair, trying to ignore the game. Moon was currently talking with Professor Ozpin about...something. She could feel her connection to him as he slowly became calmer. She guessed Ozpin had figured out how to talk to her boyfriend at this point.

She slowly blushed, thinking about the time she had first met Moon herself, him walking into the cold, dark shack where she had been held captive by Carpainter and her world's Pokey, awaiting Human Sacrifice to Giygas after she refused to be a High Priestess. Back before her own dark side, loss of her family (and the rest of her world), back before everything became just another dark depressing torturess adventure.

Thankfully, despite how unlikely it sounded, she did feel much safer in this environment she was in today, with Moon, Erick, and Sapphire. Back when it was just Her, Moon, Erick, and Dyson trying to kill Giygas, with her slowly maturing Darkside, and Moon's much more rigid and uncomfortable ability to express emotions to her made the threat of Dark Moon and Dark Sarah a daily problem. Sure, the pain they both experienced today had gotten worse. But at least in the situation they were in today, it was far more unlikely for her to be in a position where Moon would go ballistic enough to let out his own darkside. As long as nothing happened to her, everything was fine...or at least...as fine for her, Moon, and Erick as it could be.

A knock on the door startled her out of her trance, probably thankful. As normally, Dark Sarah would've stepped in to remind her of something awful, or yank her into the mindscape to torture her, or take over her body. She shuddered a little as a stinging pain started in her arm.

She stood up and walked over to the dorm room door, and opened it to find Nora.

"SURPRISE!" The hammer wielder of team JNPR shouted at her, throwing confetti in her face. "We've come to kidnap you and take you out on the best night of your life!"

"Oh...um…" Sarah felt her face heat up in embarrassment. "T-Thank you for considering...but...I'm not really feeling up to going out tonight, I've got Astro and-"

"You should go Sarah!" Erick said, apparently having paused teaching Sapphire how to play a video game to follow her to the door. "Sapphire and I can take care of him."

"Yeah but what about…"

"Moon will understand, it's good to get some air once and awhile. You go."

"I really don't thin-"

"PERFECT!" Nora shouted over her. She grabbed Sarah's hand and began to drag her out of the dorm rooms. Erick watched as Sarah looked back at him nervously, not surprising him.

Sapphire approached Erick as they watched Nora continue to drag Sarah down the aisle of the rooms in the dormitory. "You sure Moon will be okay with this?" he asked.

"Absolutely, it's all of the girls going out together. No imminent danger here, so she'll be fine."


"So...yeah...that's what we wanted to tell you…" The council members looked at Moon through their holographic screens. Byleth and Ness seemed concerned about his expression which struggled with indicating whether he wanted to scream at them or try and sort things out calmly.

"Alright…" he said, after an uncomfortably long silence. "It's okay...nobody's at fault…"

Byleth looked the most concerned at him. "Are...are you sure?..." he asked. "I mean it's Rhea."

"Yes...yes…" Moon replied, sounding less like he actually meant what he said. "There is no way Pokey, or anyone in your world Byleth, would have access to something that can cure diamondization. Just...try and locate the statue...and...this time Byleth...if you do find it. Please, Please destroy it. I don't care how many people object...destroy Rhea's statue if you find it."

"I...I understand," the mercenary replied. "I will give Edelgard the word."

Moon closed the holographic image, thankful that he had just gotten out of Ozpin's office before they called. That could've been a disaster for everyone.

Erick and Sapphire looked at him from across the table, as they had sat down to listen to him speak to Byleth and Ness. Both boys looked increasingly concerned.

"It's okay…" he said to them, with his voice starting to break. "Only I, Ness, Poo, and Lucas have the ability to cure Diamondization. Pokey has no way of healing her. Salem shouldn't have any way of healing her. When you're diamondized, nothing can change it. I know, and I've tried. Everything will be fine…"

"Are...are you sure?" Sapphire asked. "I mean...what exactly are we supposed to tell Ozpin if and when a Giant White Dragon screaming bloody mommy murderers comes after us?!"

"We'll be fine...trust me…" Moon's voice continued to crack as he started to look around nervously. "W-Where did you say Sarah was, again?"

"She's out with Ruby, Penny, all of the girls." Erick replied. "Pokey would be insane to try and attack out in the open, especially if he's working under Salem like Torchwick."

Moon's face didn't seem to relax as his foot tapped against the floor. "Everything is alright…" he said, making Erick and Sapphire exchange looks with one another. "Everything is fine. Sarah's with everyone else...they'll get her home safely...they will…" he directed his attention and crazy talk to himself as he redirected the conversation back to his friends.

"Where...did they say they were going again?"

Both boys looked at one another...realizing then that they, in fact, had not asked that question.

Moon fixed his eyes on the clock, only 7:30, if they were going for a girl's night, it was going to be a while. He just sat down silently and looked his eyes to the door, and to the clock.

"Trust...Trust...trust…" Moon whispered. "Trust…"


"Isn't this fun Sarah?!" Ruby asked in the middle of a round of applause for the latest band performance.

Though she tried to hide her discomfort with the idea. Sarah knew it looked like she was having no fun at all. Even if there was a smile printed on her bright face.

"I mean...it's nice." she said after a moment, watching the band of Female Faunus with different cat tails and cat ears play their instruments. She recalled the first date she and Moon ever had, watching the Runaway Five perform at the theater in Twoson. But...that was so long ago...long before she ever had Dark Sarah wedged into her brain.

Weiss was sitting on her left side, and she too seemed to frown at the band. "I honestly was expecting something a little more...professional." The Ice queen said.

"Don't tell me you're one of those "Rock & Roll Evil!" people!" Yang muttered. "We just tore ourselves away from Mr. Funkill," Sarah had a pit of anger knowing who Yang was referring to.

Weiss simply rolled her eyes as they watched Nora and Pyrrha dance in the middle of the club where guests were allowed to.

A waiter with a gruff beard eventually came over to her, along with Team RWBY, and Penny's table, he had a tray of 8 varying drinks. With one larger, much fancier looking drink within it.

"Uh...we didn't order anything…" Ruby said to the man. "And...we left all our money back at school. So...we can't..."

"It's on someone else, a courtesy or two." The man grunted, fixating his eyes on Sarah.

"Oooh, you think it was the hot blond and his buddies?" Yang asked, directing their attention towards a group of very fit blond boys of various skin colors. They all had very lean bodies and muscles you could see quite clearly.

The waiter handed them each of their drinks, and Sarah watched as each of the non-fancy cups were handed off to Ruby, Penny, the empty seats of Pyrrha and Nora, Yang, Blake, then Weiss. Then, she felt sweat and heat all over her face as the nicest cup holding what she could only guess was a thick pineapple looking drink in a large wine glass placed in front of her.

"Uh...how much did this cost?" Weiss asked, after Sarah watched her sniff her own drink out of curiosity...or maybe suspicion? She couldn't quite tell with Weiss' usually questioning look.

"About...200 Lien a drink for you 7. 300 Lien for The Girl in Purple, our most expensive drink here." He ignored the widened eyes of all of them. "Yes, quite the feat. Enjoy."

"It would appear someone here has, what I know is, a little crush on you." Penny said, tilting her head to the side. "Is that right?"

"You bet!" all six girls turned their attention to Nora and Pyrrha, who each had walked over from the dance floor, both of them had a bit of sweat drip off of them as they sat down. "The Most expensive drink on the menu...huh. Well? Actually they have quite a lot that cost 300." Nora looked over the menu with a petty snarky grin. "Someone's got the hots for you."

"You said that you and Moon are married." Pyrrha said to Sarah. "If that is the case, why don't you wear your ring out? Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen you wear one?"

Sarah felt her face heat up even more as she nervously took a sip of the drink. The taste felt sharp and fierce, almost like a spike of sugar and suddenly lodged itself down her throat.

"Well...um…" She said as she felt her body start to loosen a little, for some reason. "You know...it probably wouldn't do much anyway. I mean...we are both 17...it would still look strange. Plus, the ring Moon gave me is uh...well...not looked upon very fondly. Our marriage and wedding were...a complete disaster." She shuddered a little, remembering Nightmare's cold silver eyes creepily eating up her scared image. Quickly, she took another, longer sip of the drink, the feeling quickly washed away as a warmer, sugary feeling replaced it.

She looked back to find everyone, apart from Penny, looking uncomfortable at her words. Yang looked mildly annoyed, while Weiss just seemed concerned. "Do...you want to elaborate on that?" Blake asked.

"No…" She replied, her body began to tense again, so she hurriedly gulped down the drink to try and relax herself. "It just...wasn't as good as I was hoping. Why do you ask?" Her body slowly began to shut down and she felt herself becoming all the heavier as each minute passed by.

"Because Moon feels like the type of person to be forcing you to do all this!" Yang snapped at her. "He's manipulative, mean spirited, and it looks like he doesn't treat you well."

"Yang!" Ruby seemed taken aback.

Sarah nervously bit down on her lip and quickly drank her drink. Unfortunately, she wasn't sure what was going on, but it felt like her emotions were slumping, and her PSI energy was weakening severely. At least it was helping her keep her cool, whatever was going on.

"Dammit you idiot! STOP!" Dark Sarah hissed at her. "Listen to me for once in your damn life and STOP! You're gonna get yourself into a bad sit-"

She pushed her darkside out of her picture and quickly started a little triage in the best angry voice she could muster at her tiring state. "He's not manipulative!" she said, her voice felt weaker too, not a good sign for what she was trying to convey. "He does love me...I know he does! He would never hurt me on his own will, ever! He'd never be able to look at me if he did."

"You should stop, Yang!" Weiss scolded. "Their relationship is private. She's not being abused."

"Maybe not physically.'' Blake crossed her arms. "I can't exactly say Yang is in the wrong with the way Moon has acted to her when we're around."

She felt her body become increasingly heavier, it was like she was trying to connect and find her senses, but her body was tired, she picked up the glass with a shaking hand and quickly slurped it down. All the while feeling more and more tired and worn out.

"STOP...Fucking...You...Idiot!" Her darkside hissed, the voice being mildly cut out.

"He...he would never hurt me…" She breathed out, trying to gain her own senses. "Never on his own will." she felt herself falling asleep...or something.

"Really? Because it seems like-" the other girls stopped as Sarah basically collapsed out of her chair and onto the floor.

"Uh…"

"YOU DUNCE!" Weiss snapped at Yang. "Didn't you listen to ANYTHING Moon and Sarah said about their Psychic Powers?!" her glare from the icy blue eyes made her look intimidating.

"Not really, he's not really someone we should ever listen to." Yang shrugged her shoulders. "What lie of his do you believe?"

"The part where Sarah, not Moon! The part where SHE explained to us that, if either of their emotions run high on anything, they could collapse?! It's like an Overdose!"

"That can't be true!"

"So now you're suggesting that this nightclub just served alcohol to a minor?!"

The Yellow and White girls both had heated glares down each other's throats, and by now, everyone in the bar was starting to look at them.

"Yang...please put your...disliking of Moon aside for now." Pyrrha said, after a moment. "Let's give him the benefit of the doubt, and say that they were telling the truth specifically about the emotional overdose. If you're that suspicious, I guess we can talk to Erick and Sapphire and Astro about his behavior. But this isn't right."

Yang blew a little bit of golden hair out of her face. "Alright, fine...now...what do we do?"

"Well, we should probably get her back to Beacon." Pyrrha replied. "Though, isn't the special show about to start?"

"Yeah, five minutes from now." Ruby replied, pointing over to the sign by the stage.

"I could fly her back to Beacon." Penny said, as everyone looked at her. "It wouldn't hurt, honestly. It'd be quick."

"No, you were the one who suggested we come here." Ruby butted in. "You said you had never been to nightclub shows, so this'll be your first."

"I think Yang should take her back." Weiss narrowed her eyes. "After all, it is your fault that she is emotionally overdosed." Yang scowled at her teammate.

"Seems fair enough." Nora agreed, following nods of approval from everyone except Penny.

Yang growled to herself as she picked Sarah up off the floor, surprised at how light she was. Like, she was thin in body size, but she was much lighter than she anticipated.

She carried the psychic girl outside into the cool night, only then realizing why everyone had agreed to make her take Sarah back.

"Those...ergh." Yang muttered. It was fairly obvious what he was going to do. In her own eyes, he was going to pretend to be pissed with the state of his girlfriend when she returned. Like he really needed any more of a reason to be mean to her, and especially to Sarah.

She looked around and saw a yellow taxi cab slowly pull up to the side of the road, the window rolled down and she was face to face with a chubby driver with messy blond hair and a red and black and red-striped suit.

"Hey!" The guy said. His voice sounded almost child-like, and a little distorted. "I see you're having some trouble with your friend here. Need a hand, lovely lady?"

Yang blinked, "Um…yeah, actually." she said. "My friend here, she um...fell asleep. She was supposed to get back to Beacon Academy where someone is waiting for her. Do you think you can drive her there?"

"Oh yes, of course." the guy replied. "And, just for you, miss, I'll do it free of charge!"

Talk about a train of luck, now she could avoid Moon all together and all of them could take heat for the situation. And she didn't even have to pay.

The man got out of the taxi and walked around. Yang did take notice that the guy was much shorter than normal, but it looked like his feet would just barely be able to reach the pedals. The man opened the car door and, gently, Yang set the girl down.

Sarah's body twitched a little as she droopily opened her eyes. "Wh-Wha?"

"Hey, we're sending you back to Beacon." Yang said calmly, "you took a hard hit when you passed out. We don't want any more problems."

Sarah's head flopped around a little. "Msure." her speech sounded tired, and a little off. Yang put the seat belt over her and tightened it the best she could so Sarah's almost drunken body wouldn't flop like a fish on turns. She closed the door and waved goodbye as the Driver sped off down the road, taking a left turn on its way back to Beacon.

She turned back to the nightclub, a satisfied smile on her face as she walked back inside to enjoy the rest of the night.


Sarah groaned as she went to wake up. Her head was killing her, and her body felt sore, much more sore than it ever felt before. Her legs felt like jelly and twitched a little. She heard a rather annoying snapping sound that was ticking her eeriness off.

"Wake up!" The voice was faintly familiar, but she couldn't quite put a finger on it. She went to rub her foggy eyed vision, only to feel resistance on her hands. She felt sweat develop on her forehead as she went to move her waist up, only to feel heavy resistance on it as well.

"I said wake up you little bitch!" A very cold, hard cracked hand slapped her across the face, gasping in shock her eyes flung open. Her hands were bound to her side by metallic bands, tightly wrapped around her wrists to ensure she couldn't move either of them, and her waist was bound down to a table she was laying face down on. Looking further down, she felt her stomach pitfall as her dress bottom had been hiked up much further than normal.

She quickly looked around, and, much to horror, Pokey Minch stood next to her, uncomfortably close, so much so that his pale, rotting nose almost connected with her own. Pokey's sadistic grin almost made her want to cry, this wasn't a nightmare...she knew it couldn't be.

"Hello my sweet Sarah." Pokey cackled. "Are you enjoying your stay here at my place?!"

She went to summon a bit of fire to melt the bounds on her, only to watch in complete horror as a few mere sparks crackled off her finger tips. Her PSI was negated, and her body weakened.

"You really haven't learned ANYTHING from our experiences?" Pokey asked with his creepy grin as she struggled with her own hands and body. "Why would I not use the Counter-PSI Unit to block your PSI when your lunatic raging husband comes kicking down my door for you?"

"Why?!" she asked, her voice cracked a little. "Why can't you just leave me alone?!"

"I will not stop following you, Moon, and Erick around, not until you three become what Giygas, Seiros, Salem, Tabuu, and I created you to be." Pokey cackled. "I would've thought that your whole little fun experience with Nightmare would've been the breaking point for you and Moon."

Sarah shuddered as the flash memory of that came back to haunt her, this was just like that time with Nightmare, only...instead of Nightmare...it was Pokey, which, in her mind, made this situation all the more disgusting. Especially when she remembered this wasn't even HER Pokey

Pokey seemed to pick up on her nervousness as tears started to develop in her eyes. He hopped off a little chair that allowed him to face her and walked around as her silently crying head followed him around.

"I don't know how the hell you managed to recover from that day." Pokey seemed to be talking to himself as he looked at a Diamondized Statue of who Sarah could only assume was Rhea. "I mean...at its core...you were assaulted and violated by the person you love the most."

"Moon didn't want that!" She spat at him, tears still falling. "None of us wanted that! He hasn't looked at me the same since! He didn't even have control of his own body, you know that better than anyone else!"

Pokey shrugged, his shoulders as he turned around to walk back over to her bounded body. His creepy dead black little eyes peered at her through his messy hair that Sarah hated seeing.

"You already took away our home!" She yelled at him, tears still fell down her cheeks. "You took our happiness, you took Dyson, haven't you had enough?!"

Pokey didn't say any as his cold, clammy hand reached out and rubbed her cheek. Sarah saw him fingering an injection needle with something white and dusty looking inside of it. Her insides really started screaming at her. Quickly trying any attempt she had to avoid whatever she experienced she tried to call Dark Sarah forward to take her place. Only to get no response.

Pokey's creepy, sinister smile spread. "Awww. Did you think I'd let you shut yourself out from me?" he asked. "That's cute...but remember, I helped create Dark Sarah. So I know how to temporarily stop her." Pokey leaned in closer and his hot, smelly breath from his rotted face made her gag as he licked across her cheek. Inserting the needle against her stomach side, and injecting something that made her body quickly fall loose and limp.

"Moon is right," he said, looking straight into her, who kept crying and struggling. "You do taste like strawberries." He sat up on the table she was bound to and put his hands around her neck, leaning in closer to her, his decaying teeth made his rotten smile all the more sickening.

"Getting my hands on all that illegal dust that they banned certainly was easier than expected." Pokey licked around her neck and cheeks as she screamed. "And those fucking girls are just so goddamn stupid and innocent. That Yang girl didn't even think twice when she gave you to me, and she didn't even bother to contact Moon!"

"STOP! STOP!" Sarah wailed, her heart was thumping in and out of her chest so rapidly she felt she was going to explode. Everything was happening again, she hated it, she dreaded it, and she knew how Moon would react. "Please, I'll do anything! Anything! Just stop!"

"Nope. Nope. Nope." Pokey hummed. "You're all mine for a good while now Sarah." his licks finally reached her own lips and forcefully rammed his rotten tongue into her mouth.

She felt sick to her stomach, his tongue was rotted from all the time travel dimension hopping, and he tasted like Rotted Flesh. She tried to avoid her own tongue colliding, but Pokey seemed more interested in rubbing some powdered stuff around her teeth and the underside of her gums with his tongue. She prayed it wasn't some weird dust similar to a certain drug he used on her before, Her eyelids started to get heavy and the image of Pokey faded to a black void.


Moon looked up at the digital clock, it had now struck midnight. His body twitched at the sight, that was it, something was going on. No way they were still out for the night.

Erick and Sapphire reluctantly followed him outside of their dorm room as they made their way down the dorm hall to the rooms of Team RWBY and Team JNPR. Moon paused a little as they got to the middle.

Both boys looked at one another as Moon turned towards Team RWBY's dorm door, and they saw the look on his face. It was pissed, and his eye had started twitching a little. Both boys knew what that probably meant.

"Moon…" Sapphire started. "Think...be calm...you don't want them to…"

Moon ignored them, and, to Sapphire and Erick's horror, he kicked the door off of its hinges and sent it flying across the girl's dorm room. Thankfully, he hadn't concentrated enough PSI energy to his leg to send it fully across, as it slammed against the ground and shattered, causing all four girls to jump up with a yelp.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Yang shouted at him as he stormed into their room. All four girls looked at him from their respective beds, and, to them, Moon looked like he was ready to kill someone. His one blue eye looked furious, and they reasoned that, if he had an eye behind that head of hair that was covered, it'd look just as mad.

"Moon? What's wro-" he cut Ruby off with his cold, dead stare.

"How fucking long have you been back?!" he snarled. His voice was colder than normal.

"About...an hour or so…" Weiss said, looking over at the clock. "Are you here to yell at us about Sarah passing out? It seems unreasonable now, we have to go to bed..."

If it was at all possible for his face to get any more angry, it certainly did. He could feel his blood boiling as his insides screamed. "Which one of you brought her home then?!" he snarled.

"Yang did." Blake said, crossing her arms. "You should know that!"

Moon felt the floor of the dorm room start to crack below his feet as his eye twitched. He had seen a lot, but never, never in his life did he think people could be this fucking incompetent.

"You dumbass!" Dark Moon cackled at his increasing anger. "You absolute fucking buffoon! Did you HONESTLY think these girls had ANY damn common sense?!"

Moon chuckled in an almost psychotic way as Sapphire and Erick both watched on, both of them also looked increasingly irritated, when they'd normally be concerned about his attitude going this far. But right now, they too were baffled at the pure idiocy of this situation.

"That's very funny. That's a great fucking joke!" he hissed. "Because it's fucking midnight, all of you assholes are here, and SARAH ISN'T!"

By now, Team JNPR had joined them. They also looked sleep deprived and annoyed.

"What's going on?" Jaune asked, not picking up on Sapphire and Erick's signals to stop talking. "Is something wrong?"

Moon's twitching eye directed his attention on Yang while everyone just watched him nervously, almost as if they doubted what he said, despite only 3 of them being in the room.

"Someone better FUCKING explain what prank this is. Or tell me I'm in a goddamn nightmare. Otherwise, I'm going to start doing things nobody wants to see." He ignored the widened eyes directed at him, not realizing his shadow now looked different, a crown-like object on his head, and two giant wings on the sides of him, with his hands looking more like claws.

By now Weiss looked at Yang with an irritated stare. Moon did note that Yang was looking at him like this was some type of twisted joke."

"Stop pretending like we did something wrong!" Yang snapped at him. "I got her a taxi and sent her home! Stop pretending like she didn't make it back you little jerk!"

His eyes twitched and body started shaking and both of his hands developed into fists. They watched as his blue-bladed, green-hilted sword flew through their window and into his hands.

"Don't you fucking tell me…" he started, his voice now sounded dead. "Do not fucking tell me, that, you GAVE my passed out wife, to a random taxi driver, and NONE of you went with her!"

The silence in the room was enough to set him off. His eyes flashed red, letting Dark Moon take over, and the darkside quickly laughed psychotically. Making Erick and Sapphire flinch in shock.

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO?!" He hissed at Team RWBY. A burst of wind shot through the room, knocking a few glass vases off the table and they shattered.

"We all went down to the nightclub near the dock." Nora said. "We couldn't go to the other one after Yang beat up a bunch of goonies there."

Dark Moon hissed at them, before black light surrounded him as he sped off, leaving Erick and Sapphire here to just look at Team RWBY and Team JNPR. After a moment, Erick flinched in pain and collapsed onto the floor and started twitching.

"Fantastic..." Sapphire muttered to himself as everyone in Team RWBY and JNPR just looked at him. "At least couldn't possibly get any wor-"

Dark Moon's flash of black light sped back into and quickly grabbed onto Weiss and darted back out. The two teams of friends blinked in comical surprise, as the black light streaks from Dark Moon dimmered down with no return of Weiss, before they all started glaring at Sapphire.

"I really haven't learned how the system works, I need to remember that I'm another person's character in a different author's story.." the blue haired boy facepalmed

"Where did he take Weiss?!" Yang snapped.

"Probably to that Nightclub you mentioned." Sapphire replied boredly. "And before you think he's going to kill her. If he really wanted to kill one of you, he would've killed you, Yang."

"HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MAKE THINGS BETTER?!" Jaune shouted at him.

"Because you can rest easily knowing he won't kill her." Sapphire replied, looking over at Erick's still twitching body. "You'll get your teammate back once she and Moon find Sarah."

"Could you...like...help us?!" Ruby asked. "We can't honestly trust that this is true!"

Sapphire merely shrugged as he bent down to Erick's twitching body, pulling out a metal flask of light blue liquid and, after a moment, poured it into the boy's mouth. "Moon can seem mean and reckless, but I can safely say that, even in his fits of rage, he's never killed anyone who hasn't directly harmed Sarah. So, like I said, if you're worried about him killing, guard Yang."

Erick sputtered a little as he reluctantly pushed himself up, holding his head. "I still wish he would have warned us!" the genius muttered. Quickly looking at the irritated frowns from the four members of team JNPR and three from RWBY, the genius quickly pulled out Gaia and fired beams of ice at all of their feet respectively, freezing them to the ground of the rooms.

"What is going on here?!" Both boys looked to see Glynda and Ozpin rush over to them.

"Moon just kidnapped Weiss!" Yang shouted at them.

"And YOUR dumbass students, gave a knocked out Sarah to a random stranger!" Erick hissed back, a rare sight, to Sapphire's knowledge at least. "So Moon took Weiss to help him around."

"Okay...okay...now put your weapon away." Ozpin said, in a calm voice, despite Glynda looking just about ready to kill both of Team MESS where they were standing. "We can work this out. Peacefully. All we need is Moon and Weiss back. Could you at least tell us where they went?"

"And how can we be certain you won't kill Moon on the spot?" Erick asked, not lowering his weapon. "You can search our room, and all of Beacon, Sarah isn't here."

Ozpin looked at the black haired boy sympathetically. "You have my word, we won't hurt him."


Weiss felt herself be skidded to a halt as she blinked and found herself back outside of the nightclub she had been at hours earlier. She felt her combat skirt flutter from a sonic boom.

"I'd drop you on the goddamn concrete if you weren't the only one of your incompetent friends who is even the slightest bit bearable." Her recovery blinked as she saw that Moon had been carrying her bridal style, something that made her both irritated, and flustered at the same time. But mainly irritated.

"Now that was just unreasonable." She snapped at Moon, who set her down and turned away from her towards the nightclub, not saying anything to her.

She walked over to his side, now even more enraged . "Hello?!" She snapped, waving a hand in front of his face. "Earth to Psycho? Why take me? I wasn't the one who got Sarah kidnapped! I didn't even know Yang did something so irresponsible!"

"Because, you're going to help me figure this out, princess." Moon snarled at her. The Ice Queen blinked in shock as blood leaked out his mouth, and splashed against the ground as an acidic puddle. Also, now that he wasn't screeching, his voice sounded a bit deeper, and much meaner in neutral than it normally was. Something just seemed off. Like, Moon was normally mean, but he wasn't that mean. He also wasn't this creepy...at least...she hoped.

Her icy blue eyes darted down towards Moon's Shadow, which, much to her surprise, looked different in the moonlight. For one thing, his hands looked more claw-like, there was what looked like a crown object on top of his head. And, probably the most strange, giant wings.

"You...you aren't the same Moon. Are You?" she asked, tilting her head to the side, trying to get a better look at the weird shadow. "You're...a completely different person, aren't you?"


Hey, like I said, you don't get to just parade around like daddy's little girl here. Listen, Moon is imperfect, and I really don't like every character just accepting or bowing down to him like he's the rebirth of Jesus or something. Because 3 members of Team MESS are everything but god's greatest gift to Earth.

Anyway, if you have problems with the characters I chose for antagonizing Moon's relationship, I chose Yang, and to an extent Blake because of their history (and Yang's hotheadedness). Yes, maybe Weiss would've been a better option for doubting Moon's abilities...but, I'm biased and if Moon is going to antagonize anyone, it's certainly not going to be my favorite.

Oh well, can't really go back from here. Everything goes downhill for Team MESS, because they are, literally a mess. Hey, my story, my rules.

I think that playing my hands with Pokey and Rhea early will be best. My interpretation of Salem is one that someone may find surprising, considering she IS technically supposed to be the big baddie. But, honestly, I think this one might be a little more interesting for Moon, Sarah, and Erick's relationship with her. So get used to shithead Pokey and Insane Rhea being more heavy hitters.

Hey, I'm still not entirely comfortable showing full or much more explicit scenes. And even then, if I ever did right a sex scene, I'd probably do a fade to black after a bit of kissing and showing intention.

I did address at some point that Salem, along with the rest of Giygas' cronies gave Moon, Sarah, and Erick gifts from their own world. Though, admittedly, I don't know what exactly I'd give them for a Semblance gift from Salem. Maybe I'll leave that ambiguous, I don't need these three going crackhead crazy, I already have enough going on at the moment.

Ah...I seem to have overextended my stay...That's all for today's chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it. Any thoughts or criticism you have is always appreciated.

See you all, next time!
