(Y/N)'S POV

I woke up in Ruby's room, I remembered that I had fallen asleep here at the master's request since we'd overindulged on those cookies.

I tried to sit myself up but I felt something warm on my chest, I looked down and my eyes bugged out of my head, Ruby was snuggled up on my chest!

I didn't know what I was supposed to do in this situation! suddenly she stirred and snuggled closer to me with a warm smile on her pink lips.

I felt my face heat up again I tried to push these feelings down, but it was very difficult with her sleeping on my chest so cutely...

(DAMMNIT! I CAN'T BE THINKING ABOUT HER LIKE THIS!!) I mentally screamed at myself, I knew that I should be trying to get away from the situation before it get's worse.

However when I looked down and saw Ruby's sleeping face any thoughts of getting up and leaving vanished, I couldn't help but smile softly as I looked over her cute little face, feeling her soft breathing and her

heartbeat against my chest I felt the urge to wrap my arms around her and stay lying down for a while.

I looked down and saw the minions sprawled around on and off the bed fast asleep, Mortis and Gash were leaning against each other snoring, Quaver was buried under a pile of browns his hat jangling as he moved, and Gilblet was face down on the stone floor snoring loudly his mask a few feet away along with his hammer.

(Gah the hell with it! No ones watching so I may as well...) I thought to myself with a sigh, then I gently wrapped my arms back around Ruby's body pulling her close, she nuzzled into me in her sleep letting a sigh escape her lips as sleep kept a strong hold on her.

"She's rather cute when she's sleeping..." I said to myself as I felt my eyes grow heavy, I let the lure of sleep take me and let my head fall back onto the pillow.

RUBY'S POV

I shifted around in my sleep as I felt myself wake up, my eyes fluttered open slowly and the first thing I saw was... (Y/N)!

He was still sleeping it seemed and his arms were around me! I felt the blood rush to my face for some reason, and my heart started pounding like a drum in my chest, I'm surprised it didn't wake any of them up with how loud it sounded in my ears.

I quickly looked around and saw that the minions were all still snoozing, I was torn about what to do... part of me wanted to jump up and run away, to calm myself down before my heart exploded... but another part of me wanted to stay here like this for as long as possible, just enjoy the feeling of being in (Y/N)'s arms.

Suddenly his eyes snapped open and we gazed into each others eyes a very strong blush growing on both our faces, suddenly he shot up out of the bed dusting himself off and trying to regain his composure.

"I-I'm so s-sorry master! I don't know what came over me! I swear I didn't mean to do that to your magnificence!" he said in a panicked voice, causing me to giggle.

"It's fine (Y/N) really, I didn't mind at all" I replied with a big grin, this seemed to calm the sorcerer down a bit, his voice losing it's frantic tone.

A loud snore broke my trance (Y/N) and I looked over and saw the minions sprawled around the room, some in pretty funny positions which made me smile and shake my head, (Y/N) on the other hand face palmed at the sight.

"Apologies master, it seems the little buggers decided to sleep near their master, I guess they were overcome with happiness about your rise to power" (Y/N) said with a small frown on his face.

"It's fine I'm glad thet they are so happy to have me around!" I replied happily, I was pretty happy to have them all working for me, I could do so much with the minions, (Y/N) and my friends.

"Shall we get started on preparations for your first trip to the surface world master?" (Y/N) asked with a devious smile.

"Uhhh... what kind of preparations are we talking about?" I asked sounding kind of unsure.

"Well for starters, we've got to get you fitted for your armour, and we've still got to show you the last places in the nether world" (Y/N) said, I got up from the bed and we both walked out of the private quarters into the throne room.

"What other places are there (Y/N)?" I asked, he turned to me with a big smile.

"Well there's the Battle Rock, where Gash works, and there's the foundations where something special is kept" he said with a big grin, I was instantly intrigued.

"What's the special thing in the foundations?" I asked.

"Let's go see master" (Y/N) said with a big grin on his face, we walked over to the floating rock and heard grunting behind us.

Giblet was running towards us, his mask covering his face and a massive hammer in his hand.

"Giblet, going back to foundations, is master and (Y/N) coming too?" the brawny minion asked, his voice slightly distorted by the metal mask.

"Indeed we are Giblet, the master is looking forward to seeing the special surprise down there" (Y/N) said with a grin on his face.

Giblet seemed to get pretty excited when he heard that, now I was desperate to know what was so special at the foundations.

The floating rock approached the ledge and we all stepped onto the rock, we descended lower into the netherworld the rock moving towards a crevasse in the rock that seemed to have been carved out by the minions.

The rock stopped close to the ledge of the area and we all jumped off, I looked around and saw what looked like a construction site with a couple cranes and scaffolds and a massive bellows, brown minions worked on the site hacking away at the stone wall with pick axes.

We walked down the stairs following Giblet and when we reached the bottom of the stairs, my jaw hit the floor...

There sitting before me in all it's glory was the biggest, most badass looking forge I've ever seen!

(Y/N)'S POV

Suddenly there was a loud, high-pitched squeal of utter delight right beside me, it was so high that my ears rang like I'd stood next to a bomb going off, I slapped my hands to my ears and the minions did the same I looked around for the source of the noise, only to be surprised when I saw that it was actually Ruby!

Suddenly she vanished in a flurry of rose petals, making me spin around to find her.

Some of the minions pointed towards the cold forge and I turned, I instantly felt a big smile come to my face at the sight before me.

Ruby was zooming around the forge with the most joyous look on her face, it had to be the cutest thing I'd ever seen in my life...

"OHMYGOSH!IT'SAFORGE!LOOKHOWBIGITISHOWMANYWEAPONSCANTHISMAKE?!" she yelled excitedly, her eyes wide and some drool escaping her lips.

Suddenly she appeared in front of me with a look that's mixed with angry, sad and grateful.

"How could you hide this beauty from me!?!" she asked, sounding betrayed.

"W-Well... you see master the forge is inoperable right now, it can't be used" I said, her eyes instantly widened in horror.

"WHY?! Why can't it be used? Is it broken!?" she asked sounding desperate.

"No, it isn't broken it's just that we need the reds to heat up the forge, without the reds it will remain cold and lifeless..." I said with sadness, I remembered that the red had wandered off on my watch and felt horrible.

"So we need to find the reds in order to get the forge to work?" Ruby asked with a fiery gleam in her eye.

"Yes master, once we regain our reds we can relight the forge, and you can forge new armour and weapons" I said, regaining some of my prior happiness.

"Okay! That will be one of my priorities for my first trip to the surface, I'll go see my friends and my sister and ask them for help!" Ruby said, blazing with determination.

"Very good my lady, and over here is your armoury, where you can store your armour and weapons" I said indicating the rotating rack.

She walked over to inspect the rack, she seemed pleased with the condition it was in.

"I can't wait to fill all these empty spaces!" Ruby said trembling with excitement.

"Speaking of empty spaces..." I said looking her up and down, she noticed me looking at her and blushed pulling her hood up over her helmet.

"W-What is it? Why a-are you looking at me like that?" Ruby asked sounding very nervous for some reason.

"It's nothing too big master, you just seem a little exposed with your outfit" I said placing a hand on my chin in thought.

"I-I know it's not to good with blocking hits, but it's got to be light for me to use my speed!" Ruby protested, stomping her foot.

"I see... well we've got a little gift for you master, follow me please" I said walking towards the floating rock, we stepped on and flew back towards the tower we stepped off and walked into the throne room.

The rocks in the center of the room opened up and a beam of bright blue light appeared in the room, the minions stopped their work to watch the spectacle with wide yellow eyes, inside the light a suit of armour was floating, a cuirass, a pair of boots and a pair of gloves.

Ruby looked at the floating armour with wide, wonder filled eyes her mouth hanging open slightly.

"Go ahead master, touch it!" I said, with excitement.

Ruby walked towards the edge of the pit, the armour seemed to be drawn towards her presence, she reached out her hand and touched the chest plate delicately.

Suddenly the light burst brightly, I slipped on a pair of black shades to protect my eyes, there was the sound of clanging metal and blowing wind as the light worked around Ruby's body.

The light dissipated and standing before us was Ruby wearing a full suit of armour, the armour looked light yet strong, her clothes were showing under the unarmoured parts like her skirt and some of her tights, the gauntlet on her right hand glowed with energy.

She looked down at herself amazed, her cloak was still prominently flowing on her back, she twirled around to face me with a look of amazement on her face.

"Wow! Look, I've got a set to match the helmet! How did it do that!?" she asked with stars in her eyes.

"Magic my lady, the armour is kind of... basic, but once we relight the forge we can begin creating armour and weapons truly worthy of your magnificence" I said with a bow.

"It's okay! It's surprisingly light, looked a lot heavier before..." she said flexing her hand, and running them over her armoured limbs.

"That's because of the nether world's magic master! It's tuned to your fighting style and since speed is your way to fight, the armour was made lighter yet still as strong as a full plate armour suit" I said with pride.

"Wow... I wonder how I look?" Ruby said.

"How about we go take a look master?" I said, indicating the stairs to the private quarters.

We both walked up the stairs to the private quarters and Ruby stood before a big mirror, Ruby marvelled at her reflection flexing her gauntlets and testing the mobility of her armour.

"Perhaps you'd like to test it in battle master?" I asked with a smile, Ruby turned back to me and walked closer.

"What do you mean, (Y/N)?" she asked.

"Well you've not been to the Battle Rock yet, am I right?" I said raising my brow.

"Your right, I haven't!" Ruby said with excitement.

"Then let's go master, it could also be a chance to get yourself more life force" I said with a smile.

We walked back to the throne room and went out to the ledge, we waited for the floating rock and stepped onto it flying away towards the Battle Rock.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

The two people flew closer to the massive fortress that was the Battle Rock, the new overlord stared at the massive chunk of rock in awe her eyes wide in amazement.

Before them was a huge rock that could easily have been a floating castle, the rock stopped at the bottom of a large flight of stairs, the two people walked off the rock and climbed the steps before stopping in what looked like a lobby, standing at a small alcove was the minion gladiator Gash hefting his ax effortlessly.

"Do you have the taste, for battle sire?" Gash asked with a growly voice, a feral gleam entering his eyes.

"Uhm... yeah, I came here to practise fighting in my new armour, and to show off what my sweetheart can do!" Ruby said unfurling Crescent Rose and slamming the blade into the ground.

"A scythe? Should be an interesting battle my lady..." Gash said as he ran his finger along the blade of his ax, drawing blood easily.

"It's also a gun!" Ruby said, loading a fresh bullet into the chamber.

"Huh, impressive my lady, so shall I set up a battle for you master?" Gash asked with excitement.

"What kind of creatures do you have for her to fight Gash?" (Y/N) asked the minion.

"We've managed to round up several packs of Beowolve's, as well as some Ursa's, would you like to face them master?" Gash replied.

"Sounds like fun! Set it up please Gash!" Ruby squealed, her excitement radiated off of her causing the minion and the sorcerer to smile and laugh.

"Fight time!" Gash said, then a big floating rock appeared at the top of a set of steps, on the rock was a brown minion gate Ruby walked over to the rock, however she paused when she noticed that she was alone.

She looked around for the sorcerer but couldn't find him anywhere, shrugging her shoulders she pushed down her disappointment and stepped onto the rock, the rock flew upwards and stopped before a fanged gateway that opened like a pair of scissors.

Ruby turned to the minion gate and called forth her minions, ten of them came and she could not summon any more, she and her team turned and walked through the gates into the arena.

She looked around in awe at the massive stone arena, and the surrounding stands were overflowing with a big crowd of browns whooping and cheering when Ruby and her minions walked into the ring.

"Welcome minions! To the grand opening of THE BATTLE ROCK!" came the excited voice of Quaver over a huge curled dragon's horn.

"Let the smiting commence!" came another voice.

Ruby looked up in shock to see (Y/N) sitting next to the excitable jester, the two were sitting together at an announcers booth watching Ruby and her minions with interest.

"(Y/N)? What are you doing up there?" Ruby asked in surprise.

"I'm the announcer my lady, along with Quaver over here" the sorcerer said into the horn.

"Now get those ears flapping!" Quaver said.

"And those claws clattering for..." (Y/N) said, building up the tension.

"THE OOOOOVVVVEEEERRRRRLORD!" the two announcers yelled, pointing towards Ruby and her minions.

The crowd of minions broke out into excited cheers, stamping their clawed feet, flapping their ears and yelling with enthusiasm, Ruby felt a little self conscious with the many yellow eyes watching her and her little group of browns.

Suddenly some entrances in the rock opened up and in came a pack of six Beowolve's and an Ursa, the Grimm looked around snarling at the assembled minions before turning their focus onto Ruby.

"Creatures beware! The overlord is entering the battle!" Quaver called.

"Let's see what the overlord can do" (Y/n) said.

Ruby charged forwards with Crescent Rose and slashed one of the Beowolve's in half, as it'd body disintegrated one life force orb popped out of the mist, a brown rushed to grab it and deliver it to Ruby as she touched the glowing orb it was absorbed into her body.

With a grin she turned back to the remaining Grimm which were snarling and rushing towards her, Ruby looked to her minions they were all armed and ready to fight she watched the incoming Grimm and formed a battle plan.

"Browns! Go and get the Beowolve's, I'll take the Ursa!" Ruby commanded, the browns rushed forwards to battle the bipedal wolves, and Ruby shot her scythe and propelled herself towards the Ursa, the creature roared and met Ruby's charge with it's armoured limbs around the young girl the minions fought against the Beowolve's two minions for each Grimm.

Ruby slashed at the Ursa trying to keep it occupied as her browns slowly overwhelmed the Beowolve's, one pair leaped onto the back of a Beowolf and started stabbing it over and over until it stopped moving and more life force came from the body.

Slowly but surely the browns began to overwhelm the Beowolve's in a flurry of bashing, slashing and biting, Finally Ruby jumped onto the Ursa's back hooking her scythes blade against it's throat, the bear-like monster roared it's outrage, Ruby fired her sniper again and the force of the recoil allowed the blade to cleave through the Ursa's throat separating it's head from it's body, at this the assembled brown erupted into loud cheers waving their clubs and signs towards the red clad girl.

Ruby stood amidst the evaporating bodies as the browns scurried around gathering the life force and bringing it to her, the Ursa had managed to produce five of the glowing spheres all together she had acquired eleven life force orbs, meaning eleven new minions would be added to her growing army.

"A masterful performance from our new sire, she is truly worthy of the title!" Quaver said, waving his arms around happily causing a loud jangling to occur.

"Indeed Quaver! she handled those Grimm effortlessly, perhaps she would care to try the next round?" (Y/N) said with a raised brow, Ruby looked up to him and gave a thumbs up, making the minions cheer again at the opportunity for more violence.

"The overlord is eager for the next bout! Let the second round begin!" (Y/n) said as the doors opened, this time a lot more Beowolve's emerged at least twelve of them, it seemed like they were too numerous for the minions alone to handle and so Ruby made another plan.

"Stand back guys I'm going to thin them out a little!" Ruby said, the browns obeyed somewhat hesitantly wanting to just run and get stuck in, Ruby strode forwards and slammed the blade of her scythe into the ground aiming towards the charging Grimm.

The girl shot at the oncoming dozen of the bipedal wolves, taking down four of them with well placed head shots, the remaining eight closed the distance quickly slashing at her with their claws, however Ruby simply flipped her scythe up and slashed at the Grimm lopping off the arms of one of the Beowolve's and stabbing it with the blade, The other Beowolve's slashed at Ruby with her claws but she sliced off the head of another wolf as she dodged the hits.

Ruby then saw that she had taken down half of them and decided to let the minions have some fun, she pointed towards the Beowolve's and called out a charge the browns eagerly sped towards the remaining six Grimm, they swarmed the Beowolve's and swiftly beat them to death as Ruby slashed them apart until all the Grimm were dead.

The ten browns ran around the arena and gathered the life force for Ruby with excited eyes, the assembled browns in the crowd were in awe that she managed to deal with the creatures alone.

"My, my ,my! it seems our new master is quite skilled to take on so many enemies alone!" Quaver said his eyes wide at the sight.

"Indeed! She will be our most skilled master yet!" (Y/N) said with an excited gleam in his eye.

Ruby looked back up to the sorcerer with a smile on her face.

"Bring on the next round, I'm ready for anything!" she called up with a triumphant smile.

"Oooooooh BOY! she's a feisty one, shall we get on with the harvest round?" Quaver yelled into the horn.

"Yes let's get the harvest round underway!" (Y/N) said, after that the crowd of minions once again erupted into cheers for Ruby.

The openings opened again and this time more Grimm than ever came out, at least two or three dozen Beowolve's a pair of regular Ursa and a Ursa Major are in the arena growling at the crowd of minions, Ruby seemed a little hesitant at the sight of so many of the creatures before her.

She knew she'd have to use her semblence to even up the odds, she discharged her empty clip from her gun and loaded a fresh clip of bullets into her sniper before loading a round into the chamber, she then activated her semblence and dashed of towards the tightly packed Grimm in a flurry of rose petals.

She slashed apart three of the beowolve's before jumping towards the bigger crowd and adjusting Crescent Rose so that the blade was wider, she twirled around in the air slashing as she sped around the outer edges or the ring, cutting the beowolve's apart before they even knew what was happening or shooting them with the gun.

After five minutes every Beowolf was dead, their bodies disintegrating as empty shell casing littered the ground along with severed limbs, the only enemies left were the three Ursa who all seemed afraid to try and attack the girl standing before them, the minions rushed forwards and attacked the three Ursa the two smaller Ursa were quickly overwhelmed however the Ursa Major was a much tougher opponent.

it swung it's front paw and sent one of Ruby's browns flying into the wall with a loud smash, It bit into another browns arm and shook it violently before tossing it away, five of the minions were on the Grimm's back holding onto the spikes while trying to find a soft spot to stab with their blades, one of the browns ran onto the Ursa's head and stabbed it in it's glowing red eye making it roar in rage and pain trying to dislodge the brown.

The minion was shaken off however it's weapon remained lodged in the raging Ursa's eye socket, another one of the minions ran over to attack the beast but got batted away into the crowd! The minion quickly stood back up and ran back to the arena grabbing a fist full of wriggling beetles as he ran and crunching them in his mouth, spilling beetle juice down his face.

Ruby watched and waited for a good chance to attack the Ursa Major, she was worried when the minions got hit that hard and decided to attack quickly, she rushed forwards using her speed the Ursa standing up on it's hind legs to swat at the browns, she jumped and hooked the blade of her scythe onto the armoured Grimm's throat, she used her body weight to try and pull it over backwards however she was so light that she just hung off her scythe on the Grimm's back.

"Guys! Help me!" Ruby yelled, the browns on the Grimm's back tried yanking on it's spikes and ears, the browns on the ground went to help Ruby, two of them grabbed her ankles and pulled while the other three climbed up her legs and tried to help pulling her scythe through the Grimm's neck.

Finally with a big shove from the browns on the Ursa Major's back and a big tug from the minions gripping Ruby's legs the scythe cut through the Ursa's neck, the head tumbled off and hit the ground with a thump suddenly one of the minions ran towards the head and stuffed it over it's own head, it's little face came out of the Ursa's mouth.

"For me!" the minion said happily, waving it's arms around happily at it's new hat.

Ruby watched the minion with a smile as the others gathered up the life force that burst from the Ursa Major, to the minions dismay the Ursa's head disintegrated leaving it to stand there with it's ear drooping and a sad look on it's face.

"Awww..." it said sadly.

"Oh, don't worry little guy! You'll find something much better soon, I'm sure" Ruby said, scratching the minion behind the ears and getting a growly purr in response.

"Spectacular! What an amazing show of skill from our young lady!" Quaver shouted with glee.

"Let's hear it foooor..." (Y/N) said.

"THE OVERLORD!!" Quaver and (Y/N) yelled, the minions in the crowd cheered and screamed for Ruby as she stood and waved shyly to the crowd, she then got into the spirit and rose both of her arms above her head hefting Crescent Rose into the air, making the minions cheer even louder Quaver got so excited he fell out of the announcers booth landing on his head, and back in the booth (Y/N) applauded with a wide smile when Ruby noticed she immediately became a blushing mess.

Behind the girl and her minions the doors outside opened up allowing them all to exit the arena, they all stood on the floating rock and returned to the arena's lobby with Gash and (Y/N) waiting for them.

(Y/N)'S POV

I was talking with Gash as we waited for Ruby to return to the lobby, I saw the rock float down to the steps and watched her and the browns step or jump off of the rock, when Ruby noticed me she ran towards me followed by her little crowd of browns.

"(Y/N)! Did you see that? H-How did I do?" Ruby asked me, looking a little bashful.

"You did splendidly my lady! You worked very well with the minions, speaking of which you managed to gether seventy-six life force from that battle! That's almost a hundred new born minions my lady!" I exclaimed happily.

"Really!? I got that many from those Grimm!?" Ruby squealed, her eyes turning into stars within her helmet from the excitement.

"Indeed you did master, the creatures of Grimm while lacking a soul do not lack life force, which you can take to create new minions" I said, I knew that the surface world was swarming with all different types of Grimm, meaning lots of lovely life force for us to harvest!

"Hey (Y/N), do minions have babies (Y/N)?" Ruby asked me.

"I'm not too sure my lady, I think they can but I've not met a human or faunus who would want to have babies with a minion" I responded, she still seemed a little confused.

"Wait, if they can have kids like other's then... why do they get born from life force?" Ruby asked.

"I think it's a secondary thing, in case they cannot find a mate, you see master all minions are born male so they rely on life force to birth new minions in times of war and strife" I explained.

"Oh okay, but... we're not at war, this is a time of peace" Ruby said, I felt myself wilt inside at the word 'peace'.

"Who told you that lie master?" I asked, I had a feeling I already knew the answer to the question.

"It's common knowledge (Y/N), everyone is saying it especially Professor Ozpin" she answered me.

"Well they don't know everything master, and I can assure you something evil is afoot!" I said with anger, the only ones that should do evil in this land is us!

"Oh, okay... like what?" Ruby asked me.

"Well there's the Grimm, the White Fang, Roman Torchwick amongst others that have yet to reveal themselves" I said listing the threats to our evil with my fingers.

"Yeah... I guess your right, there are a lot of threats around right now" Ruby said sadly.

"And it's up to us to find them and... snuff them all out!" I said with an evil cackle.

"Yeah! We'll take them all down!" Ruby said raising a fist to the air.

I smiled at Ruby's eagerness to begin our conquest of the lands, and establishment of her dark domain.

I looked over to the mana clock and saw that it was close to midday, almost time for our dark lady to begin her war for dominance!

"My lady, it is almost midday, almost time for you to make your first trip to the surface! Is there anything you wish to do before we begin our campaign?" I asked as we walked towards the floating rock to return to the tower.

"Hmmm... I'd better check in with Yang, Weiss and Blake, they are all probably worried sick about me... I'll miss them when I come back to the nether world..." she said sounding depressed from the thought, I didn't like seeing Ruby sad and thought about what to do.

Suddenly a brilliant idea came to me, I turned to Ruby as we stepped off the rock onto the ledge of the tower.

"Why miss them at all? you could invite them to stay here, in the tower... with us!" I said, this made Ruby look at me with a raised brow.

"I don't think they would be happy living here... I'm sure Yang would come with me, but Weiss would definitely not follow and Blake I'm sure she'd rather be up in the sun with her books..." Ruby said with a sad voice.

"Well you'll never know until you try master, it's just about midday master shall we go and see your friends?" I asked.

"Yeah let's go!" Ruby cheered as she ran into the tower, I followed close behind and saw her waiting for me.

"So how do we do this?" Ruby asked, looking at the rocky opening with interest.

"Just choose where you wish to go master, and the nether world will send you to that gate" I replied with a smile.

"Maybe we should go back to the caves, what do you think (Y/N)?" Ruby asked.

"Perhaps... or we could go to the academy, and wait for your friends there, maybe gather some of your things to make your stay in the nether world a bit more... enjoyable" I said, it would also be good to see the academy that Ruby attended.

"Oh! Great idea (Y/N), let's go!" Ruby said stepping onto the stones, I walk over and stand beside her.

Suddenly the floor opened up and the magic from the tower lifted us up into the air towards the clawed crown above the floor, as we neared it the claws closed in around us and we were zapped away to the closest tower gate to her academy.

EMERALD FOREST THIRD PERSON'S POV

The forest was quiet and a pack of Beowolve's were sniffing around the woods looking for prey, suddenly the ground shook and a loud rumble filled the clearing in the woods, the Grimm looked around to find the source of the disturbance in their territory.

Suddenly the ground erupted upwards sending several of the Grimm flying into the air, the clawed hand looking nether world gate opened up and set itself into the ground, a blue glow came from the rock and from the light Ruby and (Y/N) emerged with a big grin on their faces.

Ruby took in a big breath of the fresh forest air before noticing the Grimm picking themselves up from the ground, she unfurled Crescent Rose and lunged after the creatures slashing and slicing them up while gathering the life force that came from their bodies, meanwhile her sorcerous companion threw fireballs at the Grimm setting several on fire and knocking them down as he walked towards the inactive minion gate to call up some minions.

The final Beowolf fell with it's head sliced off from Ruby's scythe, she gathered up the life force and turned to her companion who had just brought up the minion gate, he turned back to Ruby and smiled.

"Excellent form master, you certainly have slaying these creatures down" He said as he folded his arms behind his back.

"Thanks, come on let's get to Beacon!" Ruby said with a mix of excitement and worry.

"Hold on master! We should summon some minions to come with us, you never know when we might need them..." (Y/N) said.

"Okay, but... won't they be a bit noticeable walking through town?" Ruby asked, sounding a little unsure.

"Hmmm... this calls for disguises master! We'll find some clothes and get the minions covered up" the sorcerer said in a triumphant voice.

"Okay... but we can't take too many with us, we don't want to cause any trouble!" Ruby said in a childishly stern voice.

"Would five of them suffice my lady?" (Y/N) asked hopefully.

"Yeah that should be fine, I'll call them out" Ruby said as she walked towards the open minion gate, she raised her hand over the gate and five minions popped out of the gate with a squishing noise, they all landed on their clawed feet and rushed to Ruby's side with big grins on their faces they were all shirtless and holding primitive clubs.

"Ah... new born minions! Just look at their keen little evil faces, ready to loot and pillage at your command!" (Y/N) said with a endeared look on his face, which quickly turned into an evil grin.

"Yeah, they are kind of adorable... well, Lets get going!" Ruby said, she turned and walked away towards the town the sorcerer walking beside her and the minions following close behind, jabbering and yelling excitedly.

After a long walk the group arrives at the outskirts of the city Ruby quickly looks for a station to take an airship to Beacon, However the citizens stared at her armoured form with interest and worry, meanwhile the minions tried their best to stay hidden from the towns people as the sorcerer walked with them to guide them through the backstreets.

As (Y/N) lead the browns through the dark alleyways he grew frustrated at having to remain away from Ruby's side.

"I've got to find the little blighters some disguises..." he said, suddenly he saw some uniforms hanging inside a laundromat, he got a devious idea and went to the open back door with the browns following.

Five minutes and a little scuffle later the browns emerged wearing shortened versions of the uniforms, various little hats on top of their heads covering their ears.

The sorcerer came out with a change of clothes as well, he wore a loose pair of black jeans, a white undershirt with a black hoodie that had zip up pockets, as well as an amulet shaped like a minion's head resting on his chest.

"Hmmm... they aren't my robes... but they should do!" he said as he flexed his new outfit out, making his shoulders crack, he had folded up his robes and stuffed them into a bag that he stole from the same laundromat, not before transferring his potions to the pockets of his new outfit.

"Come on minions. time to go meet our master at the airport!" the young man said, running towards the location of the air ship docks followed by the very happy browns.

They eventually reached the station and reunited with their armoured lady, at first she didn't recognise the young man but quickly knew who he was when the minions scurried up to his side.

"Hey guys! Ohhh, you found some Beacon uniforms, looking good guys!" Ruby said with a happy tone in her voice.

"Thank you master, shall we get going to the academy?" (Y/N) asked sweeping his arm towards the terminal, Ruby giggled at his gesture as the minions looked around for something to pummel.

"Why yes we shall..." Ruby said, taking (Y/N)'s hand causing him to turn red slightly and she lead him towards the waiting airship, the browns followed behind giggling and jabbering to each other.

The small group boarded the air ship and admired the view as they were flown towards Beacon academy, the minions stared wide eyed at the city below the ship while Ruby and (Y/N) watched them with smiles on their faces.

"It's uhm... quite the view, right (Y/N)?" Ruby asked shyly, a light shade of pink coming to her cheeks under the helmet, her armoured body making small clanking noises as she fidgeted nervously.

"Indeed it is master! I've never been so high up before, the minions as well" (Y/N) said with a wonder filled smile on his face.

Ruby giggled at his face remembering when she and her sister first arrived at Beacon, they had similar looks on their faces when they first saw the size of the academy it was oddly satisfying to see it on someone else's face.

The ride lasted a full ten minutes before they all reached the docks of the academy, the ramp lowered and the browns rushed out of the ship towards the academy, hopping into the air whooping loudly and jabbering excitedly.

Ruby and (Y/N) walked out of the ship after the browns taking in the sights while Ruby planned her time, she knew that she should find her friends fast and explain the situation, maybe they could help her with reclaiming the missing tower objects and battling her enemies, plus she'd definitely miss them if she was apart from them for too long...

"So master, where do we go from here?" (Y/N) asked as the minions came over with questioning glances towards Ruby.

"Let's head to professor Ozpin's office! He could call everyone back to meet us" Ruby said, she noticed that (Y/N) looked unimpressed at the thought of having to see Ozpin again.

"Very well master, if we must... then let's go" the sorcerer said with an exasperated sigh.

With that the newly armoured Ruby, modernised (Y/N) and the disguised browns walked to the tower to reach Ozpin's office, as they walked they received several strange looks from the students.

Suddenly the browns broke into their own version of ring around the rosies as they walked through the halls towards the elevator, they all got into the elevator and pressed the button to reach Ozpin's office, the minions chattering away as the platform rose higher and higher into the tower.

Finally they stopped on the floor and the doors slid open with a ding, they all walked inside to find Ozpin sitting at his desk and Glynda looking at the assembled people with shocked eyes.

"Miss Rose? Is that you?" Glynda asked sounding a little unsure of the armoured girl before her, she kept an eye on the minions around their legs, not wanting a repeat of what happened when she was tied up.

"Yep! It's me, I came to see Yang, Weiss and Blake, are they around?" Ruby asked, while (Y/N) kept his eyes on Ozpin watching for any dirty tricks.

"Not right now... they as well as team JNPR are currently at the caves that you were taken in" Ozpin said with an even tone of voice.

"Oh... okay, well we'll go wait in my old room, maybe get some stuff together" Ruby said sounding upset that her team wasn't here.

"Miss Rose..." Ozpin called making the red clad overlord halt and look back towards him.

"Are you planning to leave the academy?" he asked with some slight worry in his voice.

"Well... I promised (Y/N) that I would help him with fixing the nether world, and getting things in order against the people and Grimm" Ruby said, sounding determined to keep her word.

"I see... so you wish to assist them in regaining their lost power, even if they are part of the wrong?" Ozpin said, lacing his fingers together.

"They seem okay to me, the minions are a little hyper but they are eager to please" Ruby said, glancing back to the browns that were swatting at each other and giggling.

"Indeed they are, like how they were eagre to please you yesterday" Ozpin said, opening up several video files that showed the battle yesterday between (Y/N) and the minions and the students of Beacon.

"Oh no... (Y/N) did you really do this!?" Ruby said sounding angry from the behaviour of (Y/N) and the browns.

"We only wanted to please you master, did we do something wrong?" the sorcerer asked worriedly.

"You smashed up the bakeries! how am I supposed to get more cookies now with them all broken?! Oh no... I ate some of those cookies! I ate stolen property!" Ruby wailed, (Y/N) went over to comfort Ruby as did the browns who had stripped off their blazers and stood shirtless.

"It's okay miss Rose, I paid for the damages and the cookies, wouldn't want you getting in trouble with the authorities after all" Ozpin said, making Glynda look at him incredulously.

"But now onto the more pressing issue... what do you plan to do now miss Rose? It would be in your best interests to return to Beacon and continue to train as a huntress, rather than stay sitting in the nether world letting your potential go to waste" Ozpin said, those words made (Y/N) clench his fists in rage, he wanted to throw a fireball at the grey haired fool for insulting the position again!

Ruby placed her gauntleted hand on (Y/N)'s arm to calm him down, she saw that he was getting aggravated from Ozpin's words and decided to stick to her guns.

"Sorry Ozpin, but I've given them my word and what kind of huntress would I be if I turned them away, I'm going to help them with fixing the nether world, slaying the Grimm and stopping those who seek to bring chaos to this world" Ruby said with determination in her voice, Ozpin's brows knitted together in concern at Ruby's words.

"Even if it means leaving the people who need you behind to fend for themselves? And what about your team? Your sister miss Xaio Long, wouldn't be too happy with you leaving her behind as you set off into danger" Ozpin said, trying to keep Ruby from leaving the school for good, he had secretly sent a live feed to her friends scrolls so that they would know to return fast.

THE CAVES WEISS'S POV

We had once again returned to the caves to look for clues to find Ruby and those monsters that took her, team JNPR was with us too they were all feeling very bad that they let that guy get away from us again, Yang was especially upset she wouldn't stop looking at the letter Ruby supposedly wrote to us.

"Hey Weiss..." I heard Jaune's voice say from beside me, I turned to look at him with a stern expression.

(If he tries to hit on me after all that's happened I'll...)

"I-I'm really sorry that guy got away again, I don't even know how it happened..." he said with a depressed voice.

I felt a little bad about thinking he was going to try flirting with me at a time like this, I mean sure he would act like a worse dunce than Ruby sometimes, but he would know when to be serious and now was definately the time.

"It's fine Jaune, although I'm still worried..." I said as I looked back at Yang, Jaune followed my gaze and his guilty look got much worse.

"About Yang?" Jaune asked, that ticked me off how clueless could you be?!

"Yang, Ruby, that guy, those... things EVERYTHING! It's all so messed up, and now we've no idea what's going to happen!" I said with a mix of anger, sadness and regret.

Before Jaune could reply our scrolls pinged I opened it and saw an icon for a live feed transmission being sent to my scroll, I looked around and saw that Yang, Blake and the rest of team JNPR were also getting the transmission.

I looked at it unsure but clicked on the icon, my screen was filled with a transmission from Ozpin's office I saw Ozpin and Glynda gazing at...

"IT'S THEM AGAIN!!" Yang screamed loudly, her eyes turning red and her hair bursting into flames.

I was shocked, indeed not too long after our last battle that guy and at least five of his creatures are with him, then I noticed the figure standing beside him it had armour covering it's shoulders hands and legs, it was definitely a girl I could tell from the body shape my eyes widened further in horror when I noticed the flowing red cloak upon her back...

"I-Is that...." I said very hesitant to finish my sentence.

"RUBY!" Yang said sounding half happy but also half scared.

"What is she wearing?" Blake asked with a worried voice, as team JNPR watched in silence.

"But now on to the more pressing issue...what do you plan to do now miss Rose? It would be in your best interests to return to Beacon and continue to train as a huntress, rather than stay sitting in the nether world letting your potential go to waste" Ozpin said looking towards Ruby's armoured figure.

"This could be her chance! Ozpin and Glynda could get her back no problems!" Yang said sounding hopeful.

"Sorry Ozpin, but I've given them my word and what kind of huntress would I be if I turned them away, I'm going to help them with fixing the nether world, slaying the Grimm and stopping those who seek to bring chaos to this world" Ruby said with determination in her voice.

We all were shocked beyond belief, Ruby wasn't trying to escaped them... she was going to help them?!

"W-What...?" Blake said, her voice laced with horror.

"R-Ruby..." Yang said tears pricking the corners of her eyes.

"What is she saying?! Has she really turned against us?" I asked, this time Yang didn't try to kill me she stared at her scroll with wide eyes.

"Even if it means leaving the people who need you behind to fend for themselves? And what about your team? Your sister miss Xaio Long, wouldn't be too happy with you leaving her behind as you set off into danger" Ozpin said, I saw Yang stare at her scroll hoping against hope that Ruby would change her mind, leave them and return to Beacon.

"I'm leaving no one behind... I'm just taking a different path to my dream, if she wanted to Yang could come with me same with Weiss and Blake... I want them to come with me on this journey, but... I'll understand if they won't follow" Ruby said, sounding sad at the thought of us not following her.

"Don't worry master I'm sure they will follow, they are your friends and teammates after all. Even if the ice queen and the faunus won't follow, I'm sure your sister will come along" the strange guy said trying to lift her spirits, Ruby looked towards him for a while making him smile.

"Even if they abandon you, you'll always have us..." he continued, Ozpin looked about ready to argue further but Ruby stopped him with a raised hand.
"I'll go wait for them in our room, coming along (Y/N)?" Ruby asked.

"right away master, Minions! Let's get going!" he said in a tough voice, the minions ran over and followed the duo to the elevator before going down to the ground floor.

"I suggest you all return to beacon quickly, before it's too late..." Ozpin said looking towards the camera that captured what happened.

We all sprinted outside and boarded a bullhead flying towards Beacon, I saw Yang was a mix of emotions right now, on the one hand Ruby was safe and sound, on the other she seemed to have turned evil when we get back to Beacon I'm giving her a lecture she won't soon forget!

BEACON ACADEMY THIRD PERSON'S POV

(Y/N), Ruby and the five browns stepped out of the elevator and began to walk towards the room she shared with her friends, however as they walked Ruby's stomach suddenly let out a very loud growl causing her to blush bright red.

"Perhaps we should grab some lunch before meeting with your team... anywhere we can go?" (Y/N) asked feeling a little peckish himself.

"Let's go to the cafeteria!" Ruby declared loudly, making some of the students give weird looks.

The browns followed after the two humans getting a lot of glances from the students, some in fear thinking they were dangerous others wanting little pet imps of their own.

Finally they found the cafeteria and went to get some lunch, the browns ate greedily while Ruby and (Y/N) ate a little more calmly finally they all sat down full up from their food.

"That was very satisfying!" Ruby said happily.

"Indeed master, not as good as a couple of poison pods but still quite good" (Y/N) said, the browns sat on the table trying to find something fun to do.

"Ow that hurts!" came a cry of pain from a few tables over Ruby, (Y/N) and the browns looked over to see a brown haired bunny faunus getting her ears pulled roughly by a certain bully.

"Please stop..." she asked, only to get another sharp yank making her wince in pain.

"What a freak!" said one of the boys on the table.

"Cardin Winchester..." Ruby said in a dark tone, this made the browns look to the boys with evil grins.

"Someone you dislike mistress?" (Y/N) asked as he narrowed his eyes at the annoying boys.

"Only the biggest jerk ever in Beacon!" Ruby said angrily.

"A school bully master? Do you wish to do something about it?" (Y/N) asked sounding ready for some fun.

Ruby looked over to the bullies again, she saw that her friend was close to tears from the pain and decided to intervene.

"Let's do this!" she said getting a cheer from the browns, they all stood up and walked over to the boys, Cardin looked up at the approaching girl and boy, his teammates watching the five minions surround them all with feral glints in their eyes.

"What do you freaks want?" Cardin asked, (Y/N) instantly gained a deathly glare directed at the arrogant boy.

"your fiery death you worthless peon!" (Y/N) yelled before hurling a fireball into Cardin's face blasting him back surprising Ruby, the rest of his team try to attack you but the minions attack them with their clubs and fists.

The three nameless boys ran around as the minions tormented them while their leader got back up, he pulled out his mace and charged (Y/N) with a loud yell the sorcerer just used a slow spell to slow the poor fool down, he then tossed several fireballs at the boy blasting him back hard into a wall.

By then the three boys were laid out unconscious from the minions assault, and Cardin slid down the wall covered in soot from the fire knocked out.

"That's what you get for disrespecting our master!" he said pointing a finger at the burned boy.

"Your not really going to kill him right (Y/N)?" Ruby asked, slightly worried.

"Why do you wish to torture him a little first mistress?" (Y/N) asked, the bunny girl blushed as she heard that mistaking it for something kinky.

"No, I don't want to torture him!" ruby exclaimed waving her arms frantically.

"Awww no fun..." (Y/N) said sadly.

"U-Uhm..." came a quiet voice making the two turn to look at the bunny girl.

"T-Thank you f-for helping m-me" she stuttered shyly, suddenly the browns surrounded her with big hearts in their eyes.

"Not a problem Velvet! You doing okay?" Ruby asked.

"H-How do you know my name?" Velvet asked getting a little scared.

"It's me Ruby, from team RWBY!" ruby said happily, Velvet seemed to calm down a little at the explanation and a big smile came to her face.

"Ruby! I'm so glad your okay!" Velvet said giving Ruby a hug, Ruby chuckled and hugged back.

(Y/N) laughed a little and that made the bunny faunus look at him curiously.

"Ruby who's this?" Velvet asked.

"I am (Y/N), her advisor and devoted servant of darkness!" (Y/N) said with a bow.

The bunny faunus looked to Ruby at that, Ruby smiled and shrugged at her friend, one of the browns ran over and hugged itself to Velvet's leg making the girl squeak in surprise.

"Gubbin, don't scare the girl please..." (Y/N) groaned as he slid his hand down his face, Velvet petted it's head carefully not sure what to make of the little imp.

"So what are we going to do now?" Ruby asked, smiling at Velvet and the brown.

"How about we go to your room, pack up some of your things?" (Y/n) said helpfully.

"Okay let's go!" Ruby said as she sped off, (Y/N) was going to follow but noticed that all five of the browns were fawning over Velvet who looked a little unnerved.

"Oh for god sake, bring her along browns!" (Y/N) yelled, the browns cheered and grabbed Velvet and began carrying her off following after (Y/N) and Ruby, at first Velvet tried to get away but quickly just went with it terrified of what they were going to do with her.

Eventually the group arrived at Ruby's dorm room and entered, the first thing (Y/N) saw was the haphazard bunk beds.

"Which of these if your bed master?" (Y/N) asked as the browns dropped Velvet onto Blake's bed, they then climbed up and snuggled close to her making her blush bright red.

"That one!" Ruby said pointing towards a bed suspended from the ceiling by ropes.

"Well at least now you've got a better bed at the tower master" (Y/N) said with a grin.

"Yeah, well let's wait here for the others to come back!" Ruby said climbing up into her bed, it creaked slightly from the added weight of her armour.

"Erm, master I don't think the bed's going to-" suddenly the ropes snapped and the bed tumbled sending Ruby flying towards the floor, (Y/N) ran forwards and caught her princess style again regaining his balance from the added weight of the armour Ruby wore.

Ruby's eyes were closed waiting for the impact but she got confused when she didn't feel anything, she opened her eyes and came face to face with a concerned (Y/N) making her face burn red.

"Are you okay master?" (Y/n) asked with worry.

"Y-Yeah, I'm f-fine thanks!" Ruby stuttered wrapping her arms around (Y/N)'s neck, they gazed into each others eyes for what felt to them like an eternity just lost in each others eyes.

A small squeak made them snap out of their trance and look back towards the minions and Velvet, one of the browns was scratching the spot between her bunny ears making her sigh happily.

Suddenly the two people remembered what they were doing and (Y/N) set Ruby back down on her feet, although the two didn't really understand it they both felt a little sad that it had to end so fast.

"I-I um... I think I'm going to wait for them outside bye!" Ruby said as she dashed out of the door and down the hallways until she was outside in the courtyard, she tried to make the fierce heat in her face die down a little bit.

(W-What is this?! Why do I keep turning into a mess around (Y/N)? I really need to talk to Yang about this...)

Meanwhile back in the dormitories the sorcerer was similarly trying to regain his composure, the browns were too busy playing with Velvet who was trying to keep her own blush under control as the little imps poked and prodded her.

Eventually the browns got off of Velvet and started looking around the room for interesting things to beat each other up with, or put on their heads.

"U-Um... I'm going to go now..." Velvet said quietly, catching the young man's attention.

"Yes, yes very well be off with you" (Y/N) said finally making the blush go away.

"T-Thank you, for beating up Cardin and his friends for me, m-maybe I'll see you around sometime?" Velvet stuttered nervously.

"Yeah maybe..." (Y/N) said as he looked at the collapsed bed with narrowed eyes.

Velvet left the room closing the door behind her, (Y/N) went into his own world thinking about Ruby and how good it felt to hold her in his arms.

He could not deny it anymore, he was in love with Ruby Rose, his master of darkness...

"What the hell am I going to do about this...?" (Y/N) mumbled to himself, a sudden loud crash broke him from his thoughts and he looked around to see the minions messing up the room!

"Oh boy, here we go!" (Y/N) said watching the minions explore and find stuff to keep.

(I wonder if Ruby's met with her friends yet?) (Y/N) thought to himself as he saw a brown tie a yellow bra to it's head covering it's ears, while another one took out a pair of blue striped white panties and made it into a mask, using it's claws to make eye holes.

Another minion was chewing on a textbook with it's sharp little teeth digging into the cover, and two others were swinging off the ropes that used to hold up Ruby's bed.

"Might as well make sure they don't destroy everything in the room" (Y/N) said getting ready to yell.
