Beacon of Despair

Beacon academy, once thought untouched by the many citizens of Remnant has fallen under siege by an unknown enemy. One who stuck to the shadows and crawled through the darkness, the one strong enough to unite all the people of Remnant... or the one who can crush them all into dust. The Overlord has arrived...


Glynda Goodwitch led her students to down winding corridors and maze-like hallways. Sown stairs that looked ready to crumble beneath their steps. She wouldn't admit it, but she was scared. Terrified of the beast beneath their feet. She shouted comforting lies to her students about their situation. Sweet, beautiful LIES! 


Ozpin watched from the cameras on his scroll as a bullhead arrived to evacuate him to a safe location. He was nervous that someone, anyone would see him and incite a panic. But Ironwood had sent his best to help contain the situation in Vale. Ozpin knew it was too little too late. Vale had fallen and Beacon would fall soon. The least he could do is stay and fight but... why should he sacrifice himself? Sure, he would always come back but this incarnation had been particularly selfish. 

Afterall he was rather important. He was the headmaster of the most prestigious academy. He deserved to live. The rest of these meat shields could be replaced. though losing the fall maiden and her replacement would be devistating he was far more furious about losing yet another silver eyed warrior-

BOOOMMM

He was brought to attention by the flaming wreckage of the bullhead coming crashing down right above his tower. 

Ozpin: Oh fu-

He was killed almost immediately

On a nearby roof a woman in white watched while holding her swollen belly tenderly as a group of minions were experimenting with this new fangled missile launcher thewy had heard so much about. They were moist definetly going to play more later, but for now they were taking down any flying creatures and or machines that were sent in to "help". No one would escape their master.

Summer: Good job boys! Keep it up and you can have some cookies! 

Minions in unison: Mistress offers cookies! Kill, conquer, COOKIES!

Summer smiled a little unnerved but excited. Today she would see her little girls again. 


The Overlord POV:

The dungeon if you can call it that, held little of any material value. Mostly art and crates of antique furniture. It seems that Ozpin was a hoarder. Not that it mattered. My minions would sweep through and redecorate my new castle after this is done. 

?: H-hey! 

A small human approached me with contempt, he attempted to attack but I merely grabbed his weapon and melted it into molten slag in my armored hand, and through it on his face. He screamed for a moment before he was silenced permanently. 

His fellow teammates stood in horror as I lifted my gaze to them, I lifted my hand and pointed in their direction as dozens of minions ran from the shadows and surrounded them. They screamed and ran. Leading me to their larger group. Huntsmen? No these are prey, barely worth my time. 

I follow them for a time as they ran for their lives, past rooms filled with supplies, science tools, medical equipment and finally-

Overlord: 'Amber'

I summon my minions to gather around her. She looked so tired. Weak. I would fix that. But first I will hunt down the pest that attacked her. My infiltration team had been quite thorough with their descriptions on what Ozpin had experimented with.  He would pay- 

BOOOMB 

He will pay more next time. He will die by my hand for the last time. 

Beneath my helm I smile at Amber, her beautiful nature corrupted by Ozpin... I do the corrupting thing, better than any other.

?: Master? 

Ah my infiltration team! 

Overlord: 'Hello again Cherry'

The redhead grins and pulls a tall blonde out from behind a table? 

Cherry: We took care of this one! She's the second in command! 

She looks weakly up to me in fear as she is held by Cherry.

Cherry groped her and slid her hands along her stomach in an attempt to be seductive, she even licked her face...

Overlord: 'I still remember what you looked like Cherry. Not happening!'

She pouted as I walk past her into the final corroder leading to an elevator.  I take it to the top of Ozpin's now ruined office. I smile at the destruction as the students are quickly overwhelmed by my forces. They flee to the courtyard as I sit upon a pile of rubble. The sun rising behind me with the smoke from the carnage blotting out the light. 


Ruby POV: 

I-I failed. Beacon is lost and now we're being brought to the courtyard by these ugly little monsters. One jabs me with a stick and another rides a wolf beside me. They all look at me with large toothy smiles. 

Me: Y-yang? Are these... goblins?

Yang looked exhausted but concerned while Blake looks terrified but blushed...

?: No little rosebud. They're minions. 

I stop moving when I hear that voice. I look up at the silhouette of my mother....

Me: M-mom?


Summer Rose: Hello sweety!
