Now I stood in front of next and he was angry. Half of his face now half a Grimm mask with a glowing red eye and the other was black where the whites of his eyes were supposed to be and his irises were blood red.

"I never thought some dumb kid would hold out this long against me!" Next growled as he punched me in the face and I landed next to the dark monster, my humanity as it lay on the ground in absolute agony.

"See that!?" Next smiled like a maniac, "You're done!"

He grabbed me by the hair and with a wave of his hand he took us into my dream. I struggled with all my will power to get away from him but this was different than the other times I saw him. My chest and arms were cut up and I could feel that I didn't have enough aura to stand up. It was like my physical body had come with me.

"I was being nice before." He said, his voice sounding a lot more like a psycho than the calm guy I usually saw.

"What do you mean?" I asked, trying to block the pain in my chest.

He pointed to my demon self as I walked up to a wounded Weiss and place my foot on her head, "I didn't make you watch this."

My ears went mute when I saw it all but in slow motion. His foot slowly dented her head and I could hear a slow, muffled cracking sound. Bits of her brain started to push out of the cracks and eye socket. Her blue eyes bulged brilliantly out of her head as blood and muscle spilled out. As he kept pushing her hair turned red as little bits of her visibly suck until his foot reached the ground again. He stood there laughing as I stared at the end result of his brutality. The top and back of her head were now a squashed pile of red mush and once white hair. Her face was bent so it was a 90 degree angle at her nose. One of her eyes lay on the ground uselessly attached to the socket and her other eye was laying right next to me. I was horrified and my demon self and Next just laughed until I vomited on the ground in front of me but I couldn't look away from Weiss.

I felt something form on my legs and wrists as the vision faded.

"My turn now." He whispered as he disappeared and I watched the scene in front of me unfold.

It was a strange feeling to say the least. I didn't feel like I was in the endless white room but I knew I was still in there, somewhere. I could see, hear and feel like it was me controlling my body but it was Next who was in control now.

I could hear my friends call my name and I tried to call out to them, "It's not me, run!" but it was no use. I couldn't move my mouth but then Next said, "They can't hear you."

There were shadows popping up around my body. I could feel something growing on the side of my face and some of the skin on my body.

Next got up off the ground and rushed all of the Grimm, effectively tearing them all to shreds. I could see that my skin was almost gray with little bits of bone scattered across it.

After finishing off the Grimm Next laughed wildly like he first did just before I popped up in Ozpin's office.

"Alex? Are you alright?" I heard yang ask.

"Yang! It's not me! Run!" I tried to yell but of course, only Next could hear me.

Next turned to my friends and smiled at their shocked faces, "Oh, I'm fine, but I think Alex is away at the moment." He laughed.

"You're....not Alex." Weiss said.

"Oh, look! The princess has a brain!" He continued his demonic laugh.

"Next!" Grant said suddenly. He stared Next down, looking into his eyes as if he was looking for something.

"And then there was Grant." Next smiled wickedly, "How's old Monty doin' huh?"

Grant growled.

Again Next's laugh filled my head, "Awe man, It's kind of funny really, when I first saw him, I told Alex that he was the destroyer. But no!" Next smirked, "He never really was. Not in the mental sense anyway but his boy was another story. I just needed to mentally wear him down before I could take over."

"What do you mean 'mentally break him down'?" Yang asked.

"I'm glad you asked goldielocks!" Next took a step forward.

"Leave them alone!" I cried.

"You remember when your dear old professor and Alex went to defeat that giant grimm? Well that was me and I crushed him into having PTSD, well, enough to manipulate him. Now look at what you dear Alex now, nothing but a prisoner in his own mind."

"Let him out!" Ruby demanded.

Next pretended to think. "Ummmm.....Nah."

He grinned then began his attack on my friends.

I tried to control my limbs but I was chained to the floor.

"Alex!" I looked and saw Grant fighting Next, "If you're in there you have to listen to me!"

Next took a swipe at grant with his claws.

"You can get out of this! Find the man in the corner!" He dodged another swipe, "You have 15 minutes!"

That was great advice and all but besides the fact that I'm chained to the floor, Next devoured him before he took over. He devoured my humanity.
