[Anthro TF, Brainwashing, Roboticization]

The duty of huntresses was to fight back against the forces that threatened the Kingdoms. That much Weiss Schnee had learned not only from her time in Atlas, but her time as a student at Beacon. And through fighting alongside her allies, no matter how much they got on her nerves, she became critically aware of just how many enemies that they all faced.

And none of them were as infuriating as the girl in front of her. A girl who said nothing, letting her expression do all of the talking. Neopolitan, one of that thief Torchwick’s minions. No matter where the young heiress and her team went, she’d find a way to harass them. Whether by disguising herself as a bystander and idly bothering them from a distance, or breaking into one of their fights and joining the opposing side. All so that she could continue being smug.

That persistence of hers was devilish, and didn’t let up as the five of them were sucked into a crossroads between worlds. They weren’t the only ones sucked in, but her and her allies were the only ones that Neo decided to bother. Because why would a girl like her, who didn’t need to say a thing, annoy people that she didn’t have any beef with?

It was thanks to her insistence on getting in their way that the white-haired heiress eventually had enough. She challenged the girl to a fight, by bringing out her rapier and getting on the offensive. Her first strike missed, but it was enough to get the girl to fight her. And from there, she’d eventually take her down.

At least, that’s what she had hoped for. But thanks to a combination of the differences between their home world of Remnant and this world between worlds, she didn’t really have a way to close the gap. Sure, she could pelt the girl in shards made from her glyphs and a bit of dust, but what did that accomplish? Nothing, when she could just keep on blocking and smugly twirl her umbrella like it hardly made her break a sweat.

“Why won’t you just say something!?” Weiss shouted, growing quite frustrated with all of this as she spun around, calling upon further glyphs that continued firing icy shards towards her opponent. One of them would have to make a direct hit, even if she had to keep pelting a structural weakness on the girl’s umbrella!

Neo just kept on grinning behind the defensive veil of her weapon, letting those things pelt her weapon until it seemed like it tore a hole straight through it, one of the shards slamming straight into her cheek…

Only for her to shatter, just like another one of her illusions. And almost immediately afterward, an elbow would rest atop of the white-haired girl’s shoulder, with the ice-cream-haired girl grinning at her side. Like all the other times she landed a hit, she just dodged using this ability of hers…

“You… You can’t be serious! How am I supposed to hurt you!?” Weiss shouted. Oh, she was beyond furious. She was downright angry. She didn’t know how to deal with this miserable thorn in her side, but she didn’t care anymore. Right now, she just wanted to see her skewered on her rapier, just for one second!

Neo’s smugly subdued grin grew a little in turn, as she countered the impending stab from the rapier with a swing from her umbrella, letting the two weapons clash. Something that only brought pain in this world between worlds, as whenever two people managed to clash directly…

A gate to another world would open up. Some of these gates threw new people into this world, and some sucked out the people that were currently trapped. In this case, it happened to be one of the latter, as both girls lost their footing rather easily thanks to the powerful suction from the hole.

Weiss could barely scream in shock as she was pulled into the portal, with the ice-cream girl floating gently towards it thanks to her umbrella slowing down the suction.

As they both sank into the gate, it closed. Leaving them stranded in the world on the other side… And it would be a long time before they’d return, with no guarantee that they’d be the same girls they were when they departed this world.

Weiss let out an incredibly angry scream after making contact with the ground, unable to keep a lid on her frustration. Not only had she been bested and made a fool of again by that annoying umbrella-wielding girl, not only had they been forced into another world due to their weapons clashing…

But thanks to the rules of this strange world, she looked like a faunus! That is, if a faunus had fur all over. Still, it struck a nerve! She didn’t want to look like an overgrown animal! She was a heiress for goodness sake!

Once she finally took a moment to calm down, she could look at herself in more detail. Given the spots on her body, and the gentle nature of the fur that covered her, it wasn’t hard to tell that she was a snow mink. Fitting, considering her association with both life of a heiress and ice, but she still didn’t like it. Getting turned into a furry creature was just humiliating.

...And as if fate didn’t have it out for her enough, she felt a foot finding its way onto her head. A foot that forced her to nearly smash into the pavement below, courtesy of the annoying umbrella-wielding girl.

“Why would you land on me!?” Weiss shouted as she looked up at the girl mounting her feet on her head, scoffing a little as she had turned into a furry creature as well. Unlike the mink, she had a single fluffy tail with a pointy end, and her fur was a little sharper. She was a fox, with her hair’s colors mixing together wonderfully. A majority of her body was pink, but streaks of white and brown snuck in to make the colors stand out. A fact that made the girl with the mostly white fur hate her even more, why did she have perfect fur, when she ended up with spots?!

Neo just kept on grinning as she stepped off the cute heiress’ pretty little head, twirling her umbrella as she took a look around. Only then did she notice that they were in quite the dangerous situation, as she started backing away. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to have opened that dimension rift…

“What are you so afraid of!? Are you finally showing emotion beyond just ‘smug and satisfied’!?” The snow mink shouted as she got up onto her feet, looking around her as she brought out her rapier for self defense… And then everything sank in as well, as her expression melted from pure aggression and frustration, into nervous fear.

Encircling the two girls were a set of rather stout and short looking robotic entities. All of them with panel lines around their heads that made them look like they had grins circling the entire thing. “Intruders detected. Glory to the Eggman Empire!” They each shouted in unison, bringing out a variety of oversized weapons. Lances, blasters, you name it.

“Well, this is… Not what I expected.” Weiss said as she brought her weapon closer to her, pushing her back up against her foxy enemy. Though, at this point she’d rather want her as an ally. If only until they found a way to get out of this sticky situation. “Look. I know I’ve said a lot of things about you, like how I hate your ice cream hair and how I hate how you can make fake clones. But can we work together, just this once?”

Neo looked over her shoulder to peer straight into the heiress’ eye, before smiling. This time, it wasn’t a smug smile. It was a genuine looking smile. She seemed happy to work alongside her enemy. Though she was no doubt planning something, if the girl got lost in this place, she would have nobody to tease and annoy. And then she’d be so bored…

“Glad to see I can reason with you at least. You’re better than Ruby in that regard!” The snow mink cried out as she called upon several glyphs, each of them designed for offense and defense. It didn’t matter that all of these pawn-like robotic entities were armed, she had more than enough firepower to deal with them. And as long as the ice-cream fox was willing to back her up by finishing off any of the ones that got hit, then…

She felt a finger poking her shoulder, prompting her to look over it. Only to see a certain hand making its way onto her head. “H-hey! What are you doing-” Was all that she managed to get out before the devilish girl practically bowled her towards one of the pawns.

Weiss smacked straight into one of the Egg Pawns, the method of rolling her towards it serving to knock her thoughts loose and making it incredibly hard to think. Simply because of how dizzy it made her. It certainly didn’t help when several of those machines started grabbing her, restraining her like any other prisoner.

All while the fox seemed to have disappeared, right as some of the robots went to strike at her form. Leaving them confused and befuddled, not realizing that there was yet another Egg Pawn amongst their ranks, one that hadn’t been there before.

“Intruders captured! Returning to-” The collective started sounding off, only for their sensors to pick up on the fact that one of them weren’t letting a single world slip out of their speakers. Every single Egg Pawn turned towards the odd one out, sweat quickly forming on the fake’s face.

Neo’s disguises were good, but in the face of this kind of loyalty, they were practically worthless. And all that it earned her were several shots from the blaster-wielding Egg Pawns, sending paralyzing shocks through her body as she returned to her foxy form. With that much energy running through her, there was no way that she would be able to run away. Just like the dizzy mink couldn’t tell heads from tails.

“Intruders neutralized. Powers identified as potentially useful. Roboticization recommended.” The collective spoke, and their orders were modified in turn. They knew what to do with these two scoundrels, since they both seemed like exotic creatures that would benefit the empire…

Both of the Huntresses turned Animals were carried away, their consciousnesses only recovering by the time it was too late...

Weiss’ eyes shot open as she heard the loud sound of something moving. Machinery for sure, but last she remembered the machinery that Atlas used was much quieter…

Ah. Her mind caught up to her as she realized where she was. She had been fighting against the ice cream girl again, and their little feud had sent them into a world where the two were turned into animals. And now they found themselves on a conveyor belt headed towards a rather scary looking set of machines further down the line. And to make matters worse, they couldn’t do anything, since their feet were locked to the belt.

“I hope you’re happy! This is all your fault!” She shouted as she looked over her shoulder, staring at the ice-cream fox that seemed… Well, for once she wasn’t too pleased with the outcome, but the shouting did help her. Seeing the heiress being this angry always brought a smile to her lips.

Weiss grit her teeth as she stared straight ahead, thoughts running through her head. Those robots had said something really interesting. Eggman Empire. So they were currently stuck in a world ruled by a man… that was an egg. No, that didn’t make any sense. There was no way a man could be an egg at the same time.

She sighed a little as the problem behind her continued to just stay silent. “Seriously, aren’t you going to talk when we’re both in danger? Aren’t you going to call out for the man you work for? Anything?” She looked over her shoulder, trying to get something out of the ice-cream fox. But all of her attempts fell on deaf ears, as she just kept on smiling at her. She was content to go through this even though they were both probably going to suffer for it.

Weiss just shook her head. There was nothing she could do. Especially not as those weird looking devices lowered from the ceiling and aimed at her and the fox’ foreheads. Wait, hold on, what were th-

Both of the girls were suddenly blasted with a thin yet potent laser that reached into the very depths of their minds, carving out anything unimportant to their new roles. Things like memories of their lives, the people they were devoted to, their personalities, all of that. They didn’t need that in the slightest, not with what they were being converted into.

“S-Stop, m-my…” The snow mink tried to force a couple of words out of her mouth. She could see the memories that she had made with her friends being erased in front of her eyes, only to be replaced with similar ones. All of the silhouettes of those girls that she had been with… they were now replaced with ones that were almost identical. With two key differences.

The first was their attire. Gone were all of their unique dress senses, that showed of parts of their personality and their interests. Each of them, no matter if it was the red one or the black one or the yellow one, wore a latex uniform that covered everything from the neck and below. Each adorned with the sigil of the glorious Eggman Empire across their bosom. The standard uniform for anybody in its service.

What was more shocking, or what was supposed to be more shocking, was that their bodies were wholly mechanical. There was no parts of their bodies that seemed fleshy. Not a single one. Even the long hair that the black and the yellow one had were basically just long sheets of metal formed into fake flowing locks. Not that they had ever been anything except for robots, the glorious lifeblood of the Eggman Empire.

The mink’s memories were basically turned into little more than smoke as her gaze grew unfocused. What was she thinking about, exactly..? Was she thinking about anything that wasn’t the glorious Empire..? No, she couldn’t have. There was no way that she would think of anything else… Especially not something as silly as friends…

Neo, due to her natural silence, didn’t say a thing. Not even as the memories of her dear Torchwick were wiped away. But unlike the girl that she frequently bullied, she took to her brainwashing with ease. She was already devoted to a single man due to how he had pulled her from the brink. The fake memories that were implanted within her head to take their place just replaced his presence with that of the great Eggman, leaving her just as loyal with little need to change things. And of course, like a good member of the Eggman Empire, she volunteered to take the next step.

Only a devoted girl like her would go straight into the roboticizer, tossing away her former self and becoming little more than a robot that always served. She didn’t care that her notions of free will would be deleted. As long as she served the good doctor, that was what mattered most of all.

As the two girls stood firm on the conveyor belt, their brains now reconfigured in such a manner that they would never ever question the empire, it was time for the first machine to do the job. Just roboticizing them wouldn’t do, they had to look the part.

The two obedient girls slid into the machine, and it went to work. Stripping their bodies of their former outfits using very fine lasers designed to cut fabric without leaving a trade on them. As soon as their bodies were left naked, a set of presses collapsed around them, and steam slowly left their respective forms.

Once they pulled apart, they were now dressed in the standard issue uniform. Red and black latex all around, with the blacks mainly focused around the torso while the reds stretched out to the extremities, especially those high-heeled boots that they both now wore. Any female that served the Empire was required to wear these, as it was deemed to be an effective tool in furthering subjugation. And of course, on their chests was the Empire’s emblem, proudly displayed so anybody could see their affiliation.

The latex outfits were one thing, but they still needed one addition. A set of lasers hit them in the eyes, both not even flinching as their irises changed colors. Now, their eyes would always be a bright and powerful red, the same red that characterized the Eggman Empire.

Weiss and Neo continued to be ferried along on the conveyor belt, until they both stood in front of the roboticizer. A large chamber designed to relieve them of their fleshy forms and turn them into metallic perfection. Anybody in their right mind would’ve tried to run away at this point. In fact, due to the presses from earlier, their feet were free to do just that.

Instead, the two girls stood side by side, being carried straight into the chamber with nothing but utter devotion in those crimson eyes of theirs. This would be their ultimate show of devotion to the great Empire that had given them everything. They would give everything back to it, by turning themselves into forms better suited to serve.

“ORGANIC MATTER DETECTED. COMMENCING ROBOTICIZATION PROCESS. GLORY TO THE EGGMAN EMPIRE.”

The roboticizer let out its usual spiel, one that they had heard many times before. But this was the first and only time they would be the ones to go through the process. Something that made their still-beating hearts pound against their chests.

Little by little, their bodies turned to metal. From the bottom, all the way to the top. Their brains were allowed to experience the glory of being roboticized, before every independent thought would be turned into a subroutine that would never be run again.

Feet. Legs. Torso. Arms. The spread of metal was practically invisible to the naked eye due to their tight latex hiding most of it. But they could feel every minute of it. They could feel their bodies growing stiffer. More powerful. That stiffness was strength. Because it didn’t impede them. If anything, it made them more precise. More deadly.

They’d be able to crush anybody that stood against them. Anybody that would resist the Eggman Empire’s influence would fall before them. Their teamwork was unparalleled. Nobody would be able to fight against them for long, and just like they were giving themselves to the roboticizer, those that had fallen against them would be made to serve as robotic slaves. Just like them.

Both girls let one last breath leave their lips as the roboticizer finally got to their heads. Their brains ceased to function, turning into the computers that they were always meant to be. Their eyes turned deep black, their former irises mere red dots on the black screen. Their hair became the basis for their bodies’ colors. The pure white underneath Weiss’ suit giving her a delicate look compared to all the other robots, while the triple colors of Neo’s hair was segregated into a pink top, a white bottom, and a brown middle. With the pink visible at all times.

Although their bodies had been transformed, there was still the matter of their weapons. Something that the roboticizer handled as well. Although both the rapier and the umbrella had been confiscated before the two awoke on the conveyor belt, the weapons had been sufficiently upgraded to fit their new strength.

The robotic mink received her rapier, now capable of using every element at the same time without the need to change cartridges. At the same time, spinning the barrel would now conjure up the same glyphs that she once used as a filthy organic, all now adorned with the Eggman Empire's sigil. One hit would cause the afflicted to be partly roboticized, making it easier for her to carry out her new duties.

By contrast, the robotic fox's weapon seemed unchanged. But all of her powers were made to work in tandem with it. A simple click on a button near the handle would cause the umbrella to open and a flash to shoot out. In one fell swoop, she would be able to surround her prey, and should they be unable to beat them all... They'd eventually turn into reflections of her prey. Reflections that they would have to obey, as they'd march her prey straight into the nearest roboticizer. A fitting weapon for a former trickster like her.

As the roboticizer came to an end, the two were tossed off the conveyor belt. And without hesitation, they followed the programming that filled their minds. Both saluted, though only one said anything.

“Glory to the Eggman Empire.” The robotic mink said, with the robotic fox’s utterance of the creed displayed on her eyes like some sort of thought-to-text process.

Their first objective, now that they had given their lives and their selves to the machine which turned them into emotionless and efficient slaves? Return to the world that they came from…

And roboticize anybody that crossed their path.
