…..Chapter 14…..

~Slayer Base~

Eve Basilisk just came back from the Patch Massacre and she found her estranged sister and a group of other Huntsmen in training within her lair's storage room. With a single blink of Morgana's eyes, Eve is already an inch away from her face. Instead of attacking the two sisters embrace for the first time in years. "Hello Morgana, if you wanted to visit all you had to do was ask." A genuine smile forms on the Slayer Queen's face, one of the few she had in a long time. She gently places a hand of Morgana's stomach. "I can feel it growing within you, I really am happy for you." Eve's face quickly changes to one of shock when a knife is stabbed into her back. "You really are my sister!"

Eve's approving words cut deep within Morgana, a ruthless mass murderer showing approval at her actions. Morgana tries to stab Eve again but found herself unable to move. "I shouldn't be surprised, you can do whatever you want with someone with that twisted Semblance of yours."

Team JNPR and Adam behind her are unable to move like an invisible force has a hold over them. "What have you done to Jaune?" Pyrrha hissed with her green eyes beaming with anger. Her own hands then move on their own, her weapon transformed from a sword into a rifle. Against Pyrrha's will her hands the barrel of her own gun into her mouth.

Eve leans into her prospective victim's grinning ear to ear. "Not so invincible now are you, miss Nikos?~" The Slayer Queen asks in almost gloating fashion. Pyrrha can feel her trigger finger getting tighter agonizingly slow. "So tell me, Miss Nikos, just how invincible are you?"

Eve projects an aura blade out of her hand holding it an inch away from her sister's throat. As usual, for Eve has a tranquil expression on her face, it wouldn't even be the first time she has taken a life today. "We don't need to be enemies, Morgana. If you would just join me you can have anything you could ever want…" Eve starts coughing up more black blood, dropping to a knee. "You have always been reasonable Morgana, often more so than myself. Make the right decision and you all can come out of this alive."

Morgana doesn't even question why Eve is coughing up black blood. Instead, she charges up her aura in an attempt to break free from Eve's unnatural hold over her. "I'm guessing you've assimilated a few paralysis type semblances over the years?" She asks nonchalantly while her partners have the opposite reaction to the concept of Eve's semblance.

"Assimilated Semblances? Care to explain Farancia?" Adam angrily asks having never known anything about this despite being her colleague in the White fang for years. Before any explanation can happen, Eve burst flashes right up to Adam. She moved so fast it almost looked like teleportation. She runs a finger around his mask before removing it from Adam's Face. Everyone but Eve herself is shocked at what Adam was hiding. The logo of the SDC branded into his eye. Eve shows a rare moment of sympathy for him puts the mask back on, having been a victim of facial disfigurement herself.

"I apologize for that Adam, You at least deserve to die with some dignity." She forces Adam to his knees with her hold over his aura. "You wanted an explanation but how about a demonstration instead? Goodbye Adam, it hasn't been a pleasure.~" She bares her fangs from behind her plump jet-black lips, they grow longer as her mouth fully open. "HISSSSSS!" She hissed much to her embarrassment. Venom from her fangs drips onto the ground, causing the concrete to sizzle and crumble in that tiny spot. The Slayer Queen grabs Adam by the horns and bites down on his neck. Adam didn't have a chance to even scream in pain as his throat is torn into, blood pouring out like a faucet.

Morgana and Team JNPR are then forcibly made to watch as Adam dies. Eve's bright yellow aura quickly consumed Adam's red aura just before it flows back into Eve. Without his aura, Adam's dead body dropped to the ground as a dried up husk. Eve then grinds her stiletto heels on the deceased Adam's head before it crumbles to dust. "Now I have to get one of my employees to clean this filth up." Then she facepalms when an idea came to her followed by a smile. "Wasted opportunity to call him that to his pathetic face. You four should take this as an object lesson on what will happen to those who choose to be against me." With the stain of the Huntsmen infestation all over you, I should just do away with all of you! Or better yet…"

Nora and Rin point their weapons at each other against their will, limbs twisting like puppets on strings. The two desperately struggle to resist as their trigger fingers squeeze tighter. "No stop!" Nora screams as tears roll down her face. "Rin I'm sorry I can't stop this."

Eve doesn't look the least bit sympathetic towards her victim's plight, in fact, it seems to bore her. "How about I make things interesting, Morgana? If you pick who dies instead of all three, but if you can't decide I will make them slowly and agonizingly murder each other. Pick one." As soon as The Slayer Queen turns around and a flaming foot kicks her right in the face. Eve is sent flying into a tower of shipping containers.

"I am so glad I am such a die hard One Piece fan!" Morgana says she can still move on her own, a very satisfied grin on her face. Her eyes changing colors like a rainbow along with her leg tattoo. "Did you honestly forget that we have a mutual resistances to each other's semblances?"

Eve throws a shipping crate right at Morgana, who proceeded to kick it into the air like a soccer ball. "So am I to assume letting me kill that pathetic excuse of Faunus was part of a larger strategy?" Morgana doesn't even try arguing it, she was just using Adam. The silence horrified team JNPR into absolute silence. Eve has the opposite reaction, enthusiastic clapping followed by delighted laughter."I'm so proud of you." She Burst Flashes at her sister at high speed creating an afterimage following behind her. Morgana follows suit with a burst flash enhanced hammer kick countering Eve's punch. The force of the blow causes an energy surge followed by an explosion that rocks the ground like an earthquake. Eve smirks from ear to ear as they clash, licking her lips in excitement. "Glad to see you haven't been slacking off all these years!"

Morgana smirks back just before jumping off Eve's fist with a flip just as an Aura-Blade shoots out from her hand. "Morgana look out!" Pyrrha screams from behind the rainbow wrecker just before attacking her with her Spear. Morgana narrowly avoids getting stabbed as Pyrrha continues to attack against her will. "She still has control over me, I'm sorry!"

Nora comes swinging her hammer at Morgana as a controlled Rin firing his SMGs. She manages to skillfully shoot his twin guns out of his hands without hurting him. "Using people as weapons, how low can you possibly sink?!"

"Like anyone who willingly chooses huntsman-hood can legitimately call themselves people!?" Eve's hands are soon covered in black flames that soon get reshaped into black Gauntlets. She then blindsides her sister with a vicious punch to the face, an angry expression. "Did Ozpin ever tell you he was the one who ordered our father's death? Or did you and Jaune ignorant of the truth trust his lies?" Morgana staggers she spits out blood and at the truth bomb Eve just dropped. "Did you forget everything Huntsmen have done to us!?" Then Eve grabbed Morgana by the neck and uses burst flashes right into a wall face first at high speed. *BOOM!*

Morgana drops her gun and uses her Semblance to detonate it in Eve's face like a flashbang. *BANG!* "Funny thing about us Faunus we have perfect night vision but the tradeoff is our eyes are three times more sensitive than human eyes." Blinded by the light Eve drops Morgana, blinded by the improvised flashbang going off in her face. "That had to sting! But not as much as this!" Both of Morgana's feet slam into Eve's face, breaking her nose and sending her into the air. Then she pulls out a big knife and combined with Burst flash cuts Eve in every direction. She grabs Eve by the arm while airborne and throws her into the reinforced cement wall.

~Henchmen Bar~

Elsewhere in the massive lair in a Bar that all of Eve's Henchmen like to unwind in after their shifts. Even Aqua and Umber of the Slayer Six are in their private booth relaxing with cold ones. "Should a kid like you really be drinking booze?" Aqua asks with genuine curiosity, before taking a swig from her own beer. "Normally you just get a soda and we shoot pool."

"We just murdered a whole town, You think I care in the slightest about legal drinking ages?" Umber says just before taking a sip of his, cringing at the taste. Aqua looks at her partner worried. She has worked with him for four years becoming as close as family to him. The song on the jukebox isn't helping the glum mood.

"~As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left

'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long

That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone

But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it

Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of

You better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'

Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc

As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke

Fool, I'm the kinda G that little homies wanna be like

On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the street light~"

Umber looks down at his mug with a sad expression, thinking back to a baby he murdered alongside its mother back in Patch. "Aqua am I a bad person?" The fourteen-year-old boy asks seemingly having an ethical crisis. The wall next to them is knocked open with a loud boom. "Oh, Great we got a Kool-aid man now!" He says exasperated at a cloud of rubble while Aqua freaks out at the sight of another hole in the wall.

"Oh my non-existent god, Madam Basilisk is totally going to make me patch that hole again!"

Umber smirks, being cheered up by the look on her face. "Considering how often you fix holes in walls you could live comfortably as a construction worker?" That comment earns him a middle finger from Aqua. Then everyone in the bar sees The Slayer Queen landed on top of the pool table, breaking it in half. A pleased smile on Eve's face as she lays there. The pipes that got busted from the wall, water already flooding the floor. Then Morgana steps out. "Is that Madam Basilisk and is that her sister? What was her name again Mordrid?"

Morgana looks right at Umber with a wag of the finger. "No kid the name is Mor…" Then she dodges a Trident's blade nearly cut her in the face, but only managing to take a few hairs. Aqua has taken a defensive position between the twins.

"I give a fuck what her name is. She put her hands on Madam Basilisk so she dies! I don't care if they are sisters." A light blue flicker of her aura is channeled down her legs, and the growing puddle under them becomes a vortex underneath her feet. Aqua's aquamarine eyes glow brightly as a tendril made of water over her right arm. "You want to join in Umber?"

"I don't think that will be unnecessary Aqua You will be more than sufficient." Eve is back to her feet put covering her eye. "That Flashbang to the face left me temporarily blind so well played. But Morgana please allow me to reward you for that!"

"Eve have you forgotten what my semblance allows me to do?" said Morgana as she acts like she has a detonator in her hand. You just consumed Adam's aura and I infected him with my semblance. So I turned you into a bomb capable of potentially killing everyone here! Give Me back Jaune and I'll cancel the bomb and leave. "

The whole room is frozen in shock but Eve herself is laughing hysterically. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! I really wish I could add your semblance to my collection. I have to admit that is clever and delightfully ruthless of you! You would have made a marvelous slayer, A shame I have to kill you and unfortunately your unborn babies as well. For what it's worth you would have been a great mother."

"Morgana behind you!" Warned Pyrrha just before her sword stabs her, Morgana narrowly dodges. After that failed Pyrrha if forcibly levitated towards Eve. "NO stop keep away from me!" She helplessly screams to the delight of The Slayer Queen and her murderous subjects. "What are going to do to me!?" As Morgana charges forward with burst flash Aqua's water forms a large hand and gets frozen solid with ice dust.

Only Morgana's head isn't frozen in a fist-shaped block of ice. "Keep your dirty hands off her." Aqua lecherously leans into Morgana's ear, planting a kiss on the cheek before whispering. "Funny thing about you Reptile Faunus, you may be warm-blooded but you are weak to extreme cold. A shame really you are almost too cute to kill." True to Aqua's word Morgana can indeed feel herself getting weaker due to the cold effects on her snake heritage. So she tries mixing her own aura into the ice in a desperate attempt to free herself a save Pyrrha.

Eve doesn't say a thing, only smile as she places a finger on Pyrrha's forehead. The haunting yellow glow from Eve's aura radiates off her finger. Then a sharp pain in her head as Pyrrha's flow Eve's mind. "These memories and attachments will only get in the way!" One by one all of Pyrrha's memories fades away, her mind becoming a blank. Mental images of her family siblings and her team slowly vanish as she desperately fights for control. "At the risk of sounding cliche, resistance is pointless!"

The only memories she has left are fragmented one's of Jaune. Her eyes tearing up as one eye twitches. Her nose now bleeding from the mental strain. "Jaune…Jaune..." Her words earn a sympathetic pat on the head from Eve.

"No matter how thoroughly I wipe their memories some fragments always remain. Welcome the Slayer Seven…" Pyrrha's eye's turn from neon green to yellow as a flaming black aura causes her hair darkened to a jet black. The now brainwashed Pyrrha uses her magnetic abilities to lift herself off the ground. Her Sword and Shield orbit around her without her even touching them. "...My Dark Centurion!"

Aqua smacks Pyrrha on the back welcomingly on the backside. "Alright, I was saying we needed more ladies in the Slayer Si ... Seven." They take notice of Morgana's intensely enraged face, complete with tears in her eyes. "Well new girl we normally celebrate with your first kill, you might as well do the honors." Says Aqua with Sadistic glee.

Pyrrha turns around changing her sword into its rifle form, all without saying a single word. Her eyes showing an emptiness inside. Everything that made her Pyrrha Nikos was taken away from her. Her gun floats right towards Morgana's head on its own. "Don't do this Pyrrha?"

Back in the training room on the opposite side of the facility, Jaune is on his knees after using his aura to attack Salam herself. After her head regenerated after he punched it clean off, she gave him an approving smile. "You have a potential young man." She throws his old Aura nullifier at him before turning around and walking away. "If you ever actually bothered to train your natural talents Eve wouldn't have been able to take you so easily." She smirks as she leans into Jaune's ear. "If you wish to kill miss Basilisk so badly remember that your aura is also hers. If one of you were to die so would the other."
