Ooh, got another weird idea.

Evil Empire AU, in which all the kingdoms are under the rule of an oppressive empire that uses their secret ability to control the Grimm to keep the kingdoms under its rule. Ozpin is actually an evil mastermind, and takes team RWBY captive, infusing all four of them with different types of Dust in highly painful experiments. They eventually escape and end up joining with Cinder, who as it turns out, is another of Ozpin's victims, along with Neo. Ruby gains the ability to make clones of herself; Blake gains full shadow manipulation; Weiss becomes an OP red mage; Yang's regeneration is so great she can re-grow limbs. Junior is a contact for the resistance; the White Fang is just a cover for anti-empire resistance. The malachite twins have telekinesis and telepathy, and neither can decide which of the sisters (Ruby and Yang) they are in love with because of their link to each other. Adam is still a bad guy, as are Goodwitch and Port, but Oobleck is an informant for the resistance.

XD This is what happens to my brain when I get sleepy enough.
