[Villain TF, Brainwashing, Identity Rewrite]
"Hyper Heroes Online? Why does that name not sit right with me?"
"You think there could be something wrong with it, Asuna? I thought it sounded like a fun game, especially with how they advertised it."
"Can't say I blame her for being cautious, Alice. What, we've been through how many terrible events that originate within mysterious new online games at this point? If she hadn't grown cautious, then she wouldn't be Asuna."
Three young ladies were currently conversing amongst themselves inside of the virtual space that two of the three liked to go to so they could visit the third. They were all familiar with it in their own way, especially after everything they had gone through.
The cautious sounding girl was Asuna, who had previously been stuck within one MMO and held captive within another, so she was well aware of the dangers that these games posed. Especially with the rise in feedback that came with better and better VR equipment.
The enthusiastic yet gentle-sounding girl was Alice, who was actually an AI. She wasn't as used to the different games that populated the virtual space, which was why she was rather easy to appeal to. Especially since she had been born in a world so different from reality, one that had left her with a certain kind of curiosity.
Finally, there was the girl who had grown used to all of this, Sinon. While she hadn't been through as much as Asuna had, she definitely understood the dangers that online games posed. Especially when dangerous individuals with certain grudges got involved. So the fact another suspicious game got advertised to the three of them... Well, she already knew where things were going to go.
"T-That may be true, but it sounds like a very fun type of game! One where we can be Super Heroes! We can..." Alice paused, before clicking a few buttons on a virtual interface. She had to look up what Super Heroes were like in more than passing detail, because the invite she had received was actually the first time she had heard of them...
Sinon laughed a little at the girl's behavior, while Asuna shook her head. "I know you're excited to try out a game like that, Alice, but that doesn't change the fact that it can be very dangerous. I've never before heard of Hyper Heroes Online, not before we received those invites. And it's rather strange that they decided to mail the three of us an invite." She put forth the evidence of foul play, nodding slightly. "Sinon, your thoughts?"
"Can't say it's all bad until we've actually tried it. It could be good. It could also be a trap." Sinon said, before sheepishly pushing her fingers together. "And they did say that if we try to play and act as official testers, they might just send us funds that we can use however we please. And there's a new gun that I'd really like to toy with in GGO..."
Asuna sighed. Of course she couldn't expect anything too reasonable from the green-haired girl. Very well, it seemed like she got out played two to one. "Then I want you all to be as careful as possible. If one of you end up trapped, find a way to contact me. I'll do the same if I end up trapped. Got it?"
Alice and Sinon both nodded as they clicked their respective apps and slowly started to disappear, logging into Hyper Heroes Online to try the game out. All while Asuna still looked at the icon displaying a stereotypical spandex-clad female Super Hero. She knew that something was wrong. She just couldn't put her finger on it.
It was then that the logo started to shift slightly, as the Super Hero started grinning in a wicked manner... And before Asuna had a chance to react to it, the game forcibly started. Sucking her in and preventing her from logging out as the icon and name of the game changed from Hyper Heroes Online...
To Vile Villains Online...

Alice loaded into the character creation interface, blinking a little as she stood within... a jail cell? That was weird, wasn't the game about Super Heroes? Why would she find herself in a jail cell?
"Welcome to HHO!" A cheery voice echoed as a cutesy cop-themed fairy floated close to the bars, giggling as she peered in at the blonde girl that was currently shut inside the cell. "Sorry about the decor, we're still in the process of updating a few graphics after the overhaul. I'm your personal assistant, Hiro! Happy to meetcha!" The cute fairy tipped her cap, giggling like the cute thing she was.
Alice let out a sigh of relief. Well, if it was just a graphics glitch, then there was nothing to worry about. "Well, uhm... What do I have to work with? What do I need to do to get into the game for real and try out heroic things?" The quick search she had done right before she entered the game had lit a small fire in her heart. She really wanted to try out being a Super Hero.
Hiro giggled in turn, as a list of various options started to pop up in front of the young blonde. "Well, how about we start with your name? We need to pick a really good one that truly emphasizes what kind of Super Hero you'll be!" She chimed, phazing through the bars as she took a seat on Alice's shoulder. "What do you have in mind? You look like you've got a real good idea!"
"Won't Alice do?" Alice asked, before blinking and shaking her head. No, Alice wouldn't do. She needed an adjective in front of it. Something to bring out her amazing... That's it! "I got it! Amazing Alice!" She smiled, seeming a little too proud of herself for thinking of that.
Hiro chuckled but gave a thumbs down. "That's a bit too plain, I'm afraid. You'll want something with more oomph. Something that also doesn't tell people who you truly are. Remember, we've got secret identities to deal with!" She said, before giving the young lady another good look... "Hmmm... What about Rafflesia? It's a type of flower, so you'll be seen as a flowery knight!"
Rafflesia's eyes lit up in response. "Rafflesia sounds good!" She blinked. Wait, why couldn't she think of Rafflesia's name? It was like, as soon as the name left her lips... It had become her permanent name. But that was weird, the game shouldn't be able to do something like that...
"I know, right? It's a perfect name for a cute knight!" Hiro giggled, before moving onto the next option. "Now, there's a couple of options that you can pick for power sets. You've got your big powers like flight and so many different beams and such..." She prattled on and on as she flickered through the different options, before stopping on a particular one that seemed a little unfitting considering Rafflesia's character. "But you know what would go well with your identity as a flowery knight, Rafflesia? I think you'd love Seduction!"
That made Rafflesia blush. "S-Seduction? But, I'm not that kind of girl..." She could hardly remember any point where she had used her body to get ahead. So it felt really weird to have it emphasized, even in a game like this.
"You might not be in reality, but that's no reason to not try it in a game. Part of playing a Super Hero means that you can try and escape your normal self a little. And besides, don't you wanna try and be the center of attention? To have everyone looking at you when you're doing your best?" Hiro gave her argument, all while hiding how big her grin was growing. Oh, this girl was so easy to trick...
Rafflesia truly considered it after the argument, though it didn't stop her from blushing. If anything, it made her blush that much more. "W-Well... It does sound like it'd be fun, so why not..?" She had to admit that Hiro put forth a really good argument. She did want to try it. If only for a little time. "Can I try ano-"
Before she finished asking her question, the choice to make Seduction her power was locked in, and a sharp moan left her lips. All while her body suddenly started to change. Subtle traces of makeup to emphasize the most beautiful parts of her face, as well as her outfit disappearing, replaced with an elegant dress that left little to the imagination with regards to her bosom and her thighs, as the skirt part down below was thick yet didn't reach very far down. As if her legs were proverbially blossoming from the rose that was her dress...
It wasn't just her body that changed, her heart was now craving a little something. Which prompted her to idly lick her thicker and deep red lips. "Mmmm... What's next..?" She didn't even worry too much about her changes. Right now, she just wanted to finish up...
Hiro giggled a little more as she watched how quickly Rafflesia had changed. From a modest girl into a bombshell. Now she just needed the last push. "Well, there's just one little thing that we need to address, besides making sure you're happy with your look."
Rafflesia raised an eyebrow as Hiro snapped her fingers, prompting the blonde in the sexy dress to look towards her left and see herself in the mirror. A mirror that truly showed off how much she just oozed sex. Something that actually made her roll her eyes a little. "Of course I love how I look. Have you seen what people think of me? They can't keep their eyes off me, ufufu..."
"Mmhm, it's just policy to ensure that our vic- players love their new selves!" Hiro said, before floating off the seductress' shoulder and spinning around, transforming from a cop into a simple masked minion with a wicked and devilish heart printed on her mask. "Just like I love my true self, Villa! Which is why I have to ask, do you really want to be a Hero or do you want to be a Villain?"
Villain... The word, the idea of it, rang true within Rafflesia's heart. So much so that she couldn't stop herself from grinning a little as she put her finger up to her lips. "To use this body for villainy... That sounds like it'd be a lot of fun, ufufu..." She didn't even hesitate. The idea was far too enticing. To be a villain and just have fun... Ehehehe...
As she made her choice, her body transformed one more time. Not only did that very same heart that had appeared on Villa's mask appear on the inner side of her breast to signify her allegiance, but her hair also grew long, red and thick. A certain air of maturity oozed forth from her, as well as a pheromone that would make her seductive qualities even harder to fight back against. She was truly a Villain in every sense of the word...
"Ehehehe... Then as part of the Vile Villains, welcome to this twisted world of Super Heroes that need to be taught a lesson!" Villa announced, as the cell door opened and allowed Rafflesia to walk out without a problem. All so she could cause the havoc that her heart craved.
With a few clicks from her spiky high heels, the villainess walked her way out of the terrible cell. It was time to make a few Heroes beg and kneel before her, ufufufu...
---
Sinon blinked as she found herself within a jail cell, which immediately made her sigh. Yep, Asuna was right to be wary. This was absolutely a trap. And she had wandered straight into it. Well, she couldn't say she hadn't seen it coming. Now she just needed to deal with it and get out of it before things got worse.
"My my! The great Sinon! You accepted our invite! Don't worry, you'll receive all that we promised and then some. All you have to do is play along for a bit!"
The cheerful voice of one cute fairy echoed out as Hiro took form outside of the bars, giggling as she looked straight at her. Converting that Alice girl was easy, and since Sinon willingly opened the game, it wouldn't be hard to change her as well.
At least that's what Hiro thought, right before Sinon reached out through the bars and grabbed her, yanking her into the cell and keeping a tight grip on her. Which prompted sweat to run down the fairy's face, especially as she tried to struggle against the girl's grip.
"The money'd be nice, but I'm not about to fall for an obvious trick." Sinon said, pointing her finger at the fairy like she was aiming a firearm at her. "I might not have a gun on me right now, but you don't want to try anything funny. Just let me play the game my way."
Hiro nodded rapidly as the character creation values were brought up. "D-Don't you worry, we won't tamper with you at all. Promise!" It was easy to tell that it was a lie. But right now, she needed to distract the player. If she just followed protocol, then things would be forced back on rails...
Sinon shook her head. Whoever was in charge of the game and this AI fairy, or whatever she was, definitely was kinda green behind the ears. Asuna was worried for nothing if it was this easy to intimidate them. "Let's see... Sinon will do as a name. I prefer to be a vigilante-type Super Hero anyway, and we don't need secret identities." She said, putting in the required info...
As she finished putting in her name, the text in the field glitched for a brief moment before it displayed 'Sinyan' instead, with Sinyan letting out a yelp in mild shock. Only after she yelped did she realize that something else had changed, as she quickly let go of the fairy and touched her head and her butt...
Yep. A cat tail and a set of ears had popped out of her digital avatar, reflecting her name choice. "Hey, nya! That's not fair, nya!" She paused, before glaring daggers at the fairy as she tried to grab her all over again.
Only for Hiro to spin around and turn into Villa, giggling as Sinyan completely missed her in the process. "Sorry, Sinyan, but your regular name's soooo boring. Let's just stick with this fun kitty name instead, okay? Besides, it'll make for a great Villain name!" There was no reason to hide things since everything had gone off rails so quickly. So it'd be best if she just sped it along and ensured that Sinyan would remain under their thumb.
"Villain?! That wasn't in the invite, nya!" Sinyan cried out as she got back up and tried to pounce at the fairy again, before blinking and realizing what she was doing. She was being overly catlike. She had to find a way to stop it, before things got way worse. What could she do..?
Villa giggled a little more as she flew around the kitty that was being controlled by her new name. "Mmhm, we didn't mention it because it'd be really hard to get girls like you to play if we did! The game we sent you, that blonde and Asuna... It wasn't a Hero game, it was a Villain game! It's the same general game, but by logging in through this client, you end up as part of the Villain faction and have to perform PVP actions for the duration of your time as a tester!" Oh, to rub it in the face of a girl who was unable to do a thing to stop it. Now that was the funnest part...
Sinyan growled and hissed as she tried to claw the fairy out of the air, but all she succeeded in doing was making her giggle more as she just flew out of the way. "I don't want to do PVP! I'm done doing PVP unless it's absolutely necessary!" She had been through too much bad PVP during GGO, and this was definitely the worst!
"Doesn't matter what you want, because you're going to be enjoying it no matter what!" Villa laughed as she tapped through the selectable powers, before confirming the one that she wanted Sinyan to use. "Besides, we need a little trump card. So making you our loyal little kitten will be perfect!"
Sinyan let out a powerful moan as she saw the power that she gained. Hacking. She didn't understand how it was going to be useful, but she knew that the pleasure rushing through her was connected to it. And it was no doubt also why her body was currently getting covered in a thick layer of black latex...
A mewl left her lips as she started giggling and stretching on all fours, while a visor formed across her face. A digitized visor that displayed her eyes in the form of simple shapes, further emphasizing her nature as a catty hacker. Especially as she felt a brand new need arise within her.
She wanted to just toy with her proverbial food. Like, all these Heroes that were so uptight that didn't want to play with her... It'd be a lot of fun to just mess with them through her hacking. Turn them from meanies that didn't bat an eye at her to something a lot more fun. She could drain them dry and make them her simps or just alter their behavior...
"Nyaaahahahaha!" Sinyan giggled as her visor displayed a bright >U< on it, as the Villainous urges settled into her. "Mmmm, I wanna hack somebody, Nyaaaa..." Her own personality was being buried further and further inside her, and it would take somebody counterhacking her to get her out.
Villa giggled in turn, Sinyan having turned out even more perfect than she could've imagined. "There's plenty of players ready to be hacked already. So you just go have fun with them, okay, kitty? Remember, send their info straight to us so we can make sure they don't realize what's going on!" The devious minion-like fairy giggled, giving a couple more instructions to the kitty.
Sinyan nodded and purred, before stretching like a horny kitten and then getting up on her feet, licking her plump black lips as she headed out of her cell and into the wider digital world, so she could start hacking away at all those boring Heroes...
Adding yet another to the Villainous forces that plagued 'Hyper Heroes Online'...

Just like her friends, Asuna found herself waking up within a jail cell. The main difference between her predicament and theirs was very simple however, and that was the fact that she was bound, and Villa was already sitting on one of the bars that prevented her escape. Which just prompted the girl to sigh as she realized she had fallen into the trap that she was so wary of.
"Oh, don't be so down! We went through all the trouble of capturing you, so you should at least try and look like you're upset." Villa giggled as she spun around on that bar, rubbing her hands together. "Especially since you'll be the perfect leader for our little group of PVP Villains. Doesn't that sound like fun, Asuna?"
"It sounds horrible." Asuna didn't mince words, struggling against her binds as she glared at the tiny minion. "Is that truly the only reason why you invited us? So we could play the role of Player Killers? Is that really it?" She had a few simple questions, but beyond that her only goal was to break free from her restraints and get out of there...
"That's really it. Well, I wouldn't call you Player Killers, more like Player Dominators." Villa explained as she stopped spinning and started flying once again. "There's no point in killing Heroes after all. They're built to be indestructible. No, the thing I want you and your friends to do is to truly dominate them and make them yours. Only then will you truly prove a formidable force. Or, in normal terms, you'll charm the players and they'll want to keep playing for the sake of serving you or trying to take you down, and they'll never succeed in actually beating you because we made sure to tune your stats far beyond what's reasonable, ehehehe!"
Asuna narrowed her eyes as she looked at the character creation options that hovered slightly away from her, trying to struggle against her binds once again. "You won't get away with this. Even if you manage to turn us into your pawns, things will definitely change! We'll get free and we'll use our new powers against you!"
"Oooo, scary. Good thing the powers are addicting. Once you start using them, there's not a chance you'll want to stop. Consider it a kind of insurance, to make sure you don't cause problems for us." Villa said, before turning her attention to the options that were on offer. "As for what kind of Villain to make you... Well, we turned Sinon into a silly kitty, and that blonde became a seductress... So why not do something a little more authorative with you?"
Asuna watched as her brand new name was typed in. Empress. Empress immediately felt the effects of her name, as the binds that held her snapped off in response to her strength. Not only that, but she felt an intense desire filling her. A desire to impose herself upon others. To make sure that they kneeled down before her and understood exactly what kind of hierarchy was in play...
"This power... You really think I won't just use it against you..?" Empress said, glaring towards the minion that had bound her before she woke up. While she was definitely strong, her powers were still not available to her. But what would prevent her from picking one of those powers for herself, now that she had her strength..?
Villa grinned from ear to ear. The power was already getting to her head. "You can try. But here, why don't you have a taste of what your power could really feel like? I'm sure you'll love it." She said as she flicked through the options and picked the most powerful set of abilities possible..
'Superwoman'.
Empress trembled all over as she felt the power piercing through her. Muscle slowly forming on her body. Not too much muscle, but more than enough for a simple glance to identify her as a strong woman. And that was just the physical side of things, which was accompanied by a leotard taking the place of her regular outfit. She could feel all sorts of different powers swirling around inside her as well, all of them far beyond her already insane physical capabilities...
The power was overwhelming. So much so that Empress couldn't stop herself from smirking as she clenched her fist. She had so much power... She couldn't just hoard it without putting it to good use. She'd have to find something she could do with it. And that fairy had already given her a great idea...
"Fairy." Empress' words took on a much more firm tone, as she put her hands behind her back as if to show a form of grace and degradation towards the ones she conversed with. They didn't deserve to see her hands, nor behold her power at its peak. "That mark on your suit... Who does it belong to?"
Villa giggled as she pointed towards the chest part of Empress' leotard, revealing the same devilish heart. "It belongs to you, Empress." She said, bowing her head and acting as subservient as a good servant should. "You are the leader of the Villains that access this game through Vile Villains Online. Now that you've ascended to your true potential, I have to bow and accept your grace." The lies were out in the open. But she knew that they would be ignored. Because the power had gone to the girl's head...
Empress nodded as she looked towards the cell door that was supposed to keep her captive, before her eyes started to flash bright red and beams of pure power poured forth. Beams that melted each of those bars, releasing her from her captivity with nary a single additional thought.
"Then follow me, Fairy. I will show this game what it means to stand in front of an Empress." She said, floating out through the melted jail cell, proving her power beyond a single doubt. Of course, Villa followed behind her and giggled as she did so. Because everything had turned out exactly as she and her allies had planned.
The game now had its Vile Villains to fight against. It was up to the Hyper Heroes to try and stand up to them... And fail, over and over again...
---
Hyper Heroes Online. A game that was meant to be a showcase of American-styled Super Heroes. But as soon as the people behind Vile Villains Online finished recruiting all of the players that they needed for their little Villain group, it quickly shifted gears as the Villains took control.
"And to think that you were meant to be Heroes. You really don't know where you should be looking, do you?"
Rafflesia, the rose-like seductress. Despite the fact she looked like a non-combatant, she was beyond dangerous. If you caught a whiff of her scent, or you gazed at her for too long, you would end up falling prey to her wiles and her whims. Indeed, that's what happened to more than a few Heroes, with one of the Heroines that had tried to take her down currently pressed against her bosom.
"All of you should be just like her. Because there's no way that you can escape, now that you've caught my scent." Rafflesia smirked as she placed a gentle kiss on the head of the Heroine between her breasts, causing the poor girl to tremble all over as she was covered in a layer of rose red latex, converting her into a villainous minion.
She wasn't the only one either. Seeing their ally converted caused the rest of the Heroes that had fallen under her sway to be converted as well, each of them adorned with the same devilish heart that was printed on the inner side of her breast. Another minion that would always obey her...
"Nyahahaha! You guys are waaaay too easy!"
Sinyan, the catty hacker. While she might look unimposing due to her catsuit making her look more like a spy than a threat, it's how she was able to lower so many Heroes' guards. And why she was currently using a cute one as a stool while another cute girl had her head in her lap, getting petted like she was supposed to be the kitten.
"Well, if you're all just going to end up my pets, then I don't mind draining you dry and converting you, nyahaha!" The wicked kitty giggled as she licked her lips, gently pressing her fingers into the head of her pet to access her details. That way, she could easily change what she wanted. And there was plenty to change about her pets...
A collective mewl echoed from the various girls that she had hacked into, one by one turning them into cute kitty minions just like their mistress. Each of them gasping and panting and begging for attention, while Sinyan just continued laughing at their expense. There's no way that she was going to give them freedom, not after how cute they all ended up.
"So you stood against me. Pathetic."
Empress. The overwhelming presence that led the Villains. Even a simple glance from her would fill one's mind with obedience. And as she exerted her power over the strong Heroes that tried to fight against her, each of them was forced to kneel as her power beamed into their eyes.
She didn't approach them. She merely floated there, gazing around to make sure that nobody else was going to interfere. And as one Hero tried her best to stop her, she too met her end through nothing more than a single glance and a set of beams that poured straight into her mind.
"Kneel." Empress commanded, and the assailant did as her Mistress commanded. Latex forming across her as she was converted into another masked minion. Another number amongst the crowd, obeying her Mistress like nothing else...
Empress gazed upon her minions and smirked. She truly was the strongest, if none of them could even come close to challenging her like this. It brought her great joy, so much so that she was tempted to convert the other Villains as well. They were pitiful compared to her after all...
Rafflesia. Sinyan. Empress. The three Villains that had once been through so much as heroic figures. Now converted into nothing more than dominants within another game, and each of them reveling in their brand new selves and the control that was granted to them as part of their new roles. Nothing was going to stop them. Not a single thing.
Well, there was one thing that could stop them. The boy that had unified them all before. Kirito. But he didn't even cross their minds. And when he finally did arrive, would he truly be able to handle the three of them at their peak? There was no guarantee, but there was one thing for certain...
When all of this was over, whether the girls were fixed or not, their role as part of VVO was going to follow them for the rest of their lives. Always reminding them of how good it felt to be villainous...
And just how much fun it was to be on the dominant side for once...
