[Time Skip, Two Days, (Y/N)'s POV]

I sat in the middle of the clearing I had called home for the past two days, looking at the pack of Beowulves that were strolling by. I learned at a young age that Grimm didn't really show interest in me, they never tried to attack me, at most they'd get close just to sniff me and see what I was. As if on cue one of the Beowulves split from the pack and made its way towards me. Once it got close it began sniffing me. I reached my hand out and it stared at it a moment then rubbed against it. I began petting it when it suddenly growled and turned towards the tree line. I slowly shifted my gaze to the tree line to see four girls walking towards me, weapons drawn. I tilted my head to the side and slowly stood up. The Beowulf charged the four girls and was quickly dispatched by the girl in red wielding a scythe. I looked at them blankly as they stared at me.

[Ruby's POV]

We finally found the thing responsible for those brutal murders at the lab. But... It was just a (Hair Color) haired boy, he looked about eighteen or so. He wore a ripped and bloodstained white long sleeve along with white cloth pants. In his right hand he held a sword without a sheath and in his left hand was a revolver. But something was off, I couldn't sense him. He was there, right in front of us but I couldn't sense his aura.

???: "Is there something you need?"

The boy spoke in a soft, quiet, gentle voice as if he hadn't spoken in years.

Me: "Yes. We need you to come with us, we have to-"

???: "I refuse. I much rather stay here. Outside."

The boy turned and started to walk away without another word.

Yang: "Ozpin said we need to bring him back to Beacon, even if it requires we use force."

Me: "Alright... Just be careful..."

[(Y/N)'s POV]

As I walked away I suddenly heard running behind me. I turned around and saw the four girls charging me. I kept my normal bored look as the one in yellow charged me and punched me directly in the stomach, however, I didn't move at all. The gauntlet she wore let off a gunshot, as I felt some of my organs burst apart, but instantly reform. I swallowed the blood that came up my throat and kicked her away, only using a fraction of my strength. It sent her flying back, but she stayed on her feet, sliding to a stop. Next was the girl in white, dashing at me from side to side with glyphs. Once more I didn't move a muscle as she lunged at me with her rapier. I let her blade pierce my abdomen, going straight through with little resistance, all the while not even flinching. She screamed and fell backward with a horrified look on her face. I tilted my head to the side, confused.

Me: "Is something wrong?"

The four girls looked at me horrified as if they had just seen a dead body. I slowly looked down at the blade that was lodged in my abdomen and removed it. As soon as the wound was clear it healed up as usual. I wiped the blood off of the girl's sword with my clothes then walked towards her. She started to crawl back but eventually was too scared to move. She closed her eyes tightly as I moved the hand I had her sword in out towards her.

Me: "Are you going to take it?"

She slowly opened her eyes and saw that I was holding the sword so that she could grab the handle. She slowly grasped her sword and took it in her hand. I then walked back to my original position.

Me: "Would you like to continue?"

They all seemed to still be in shock from what had happened. To me, I didn't know why they seemed so frightened by the thought that they had killed someone, there's nothing wrong with it, is there? After all, I've died more times then I can even count.

White: "W-Why didn't y-you activate your a-aura...?"

Me: "What's an aura?"

They looked at me baffled. They stared at me for a moment then looked at each other and nodded.

Red: "This is the last chance we'll give you. Please come with us peacefully."

Her voice was shaky. I shook my head.

Me: "I refuse."

Red: "We have no choice then... Come on... Ladybug!"

I tilted my head to the side.

Me: "Lady bu-"

Suddenly I caught the glimpse of a girl in black nearing my right side. I started to turn towards her but got a strange feeling, as if the person in front of me wasn't truly there. I turned around to find the same girl swinging her sword at me. She closed her eyes as her sword went into my neck and out the other side. Normally, this would have cut someone's head off, even with regeneration, but my regeneration is much faster, as soon as the blade sliced through my flesh, it healed while the blade moved through. The only way the scientists were able to cut me into pieces was with a large guillotine-like machine, cutting through my limbs all at once, while simultaneously keeping the wound from healing. I looked at the girl in black as she opened her eyes and saw blood on her sword, but me still intact.

Me: "I'm sorry. But that won't work."

Suddenly a loud gunshot ran out and I felt my right arm be ripped from its socket. I watched as my arm fell to the ground small ways away. I slowly walked over to it and picked it up. I held my arm close to my shoulder and black thread-like material shot from my wound and stitched my arm back on. It was actually a very odd feeling to be able to feel nerves, bone, muscle, and blood veins reconnecting. I moved my right arm around hearing cracking from my shoulder. I turned towards the four girls and saw them looking at me with horrified expressions, the girl in red seemed to be holding back getting sick. I then noticed that her scythe had smoke coming from the top, signifying that it was also a gun.

Me: 'So she shot me. She also yelled "Lady Bug" right before the girl in black attacked me. I see, so she's the leader.'

Me: "So how many more combinations do you have? Because I was hoping not to prolong this, you four don't seem to have the stomach to fight me. Also..."

I trailed off. I shook my head to gather my thoughts.

Me: "I rather not kill any more than I already have."

Me: 'I wish not to be the animal I was made out to be."

[Ruby's POV]

I felt like I was going to be sick. No matter what we did, with no aura every hit we make is fatal and none of us have the stomach to really attack him full force.

Weiss: "Ruby, if we can keep him in place then call Ozpin to send another group to help us we can complete this mission."

I nodded and slowly took out my scroll and began to dial from behind my back.

[(Y/N)'s POV]

I watched as the girl in red slowly took out a device and held it behind her back.

Me: 'Is she calling for help?'

I started to move forward slowly. I wanted to give her and her team a chance to run. The girl in yellow charged at me. However I paid no mind to her, none of them have the stomach to-

Yellow: "Stay back!"

I felt her fist connect with my jaw, then the shotgun blast. She jumped back as my jaw hung off of a strand of skin. I held my jaw up a little letting it quickly heal. The girl in white, the girl in black, and the girl in yellow blocked my way to the girl in red.

Me: 'I'll have to fight...'

I dropped my sword and revolver and kept moving forward. I stopped a few feet from them.

Me: "May I ask why you four are trying to capture me?"

Red: "We were sent by Professor Ozpin. The Headmaster of Beacon. He wants to meet you."

White: "Ruby! You're not supposed to tell the target that!"

Me: "So, Ruby, Is it? Tell me two things if you would, why does he want to meet me? And what is Beacon?"

Ruby: "He- wait you don't know what Beacon is?"

I shook my head.

White; "Beacon Academy? The most prestigious school for huntsmen and huntresses?"

Me: "I apologize, but my memory is lacking. But please, give him my regards and tell him it's no personal issue. I simply wish not to be a lab rat agai-"

I suddenly heard the sound of a bullhead. My head snapped towards it, and by it, I mean several of them. I slowly looked to Ruby.

Me: "Friends of yours?"

Weiss: "Ruby! What did you tell Ozpin to make him send so many?!"

Ruby: "I just said we found the target!"

Me: "I really didn't want to have to do this again..."

[Ruby's POV]

We all heard him mumble something that we couldn't even hear then suddenly he disappeared and what sounded like a sonic boom.

???: "Please don't move. I really wish to get out of this with no more bloodshed."

I heard the boys soft voice whisper into my ear as he placed a hand on top of my head.

???: "Now please drop your weapon."

I remembered the images Ozpin had shown us and did as he said. I looked to Yang to see her boiling with rage and ready to burst into flames while Weiss and Blake glared at the boy. I felt myself start to shake uncontrollably, I tried to stay calm but I couldn't. The boy suddenly jumped and removed his hand.

???: "I wish n-not to be an animal... Just let me go..."

The bullheads got close and started landing in the clearing.

Me: 'We just need a little more time...'

I took a deep breath and stilled my body.

Me: "I-I don't think you're an animal."

There was silence.

???: "You... Don't... Think... I'm..."

I heard footsteps backward and turned to see the boys face showing something other than the bored and indifferent look he usually wore. He looked surprised, along with tears brimming in his eyes. Suddenly one of Weiss' glyphs appeared under his feet, which then exploded in a flash of light. I shielded my eyes and once the flash ceased I slowly looked to see the boy covered in ice from the shoulders down. The look of indifference returned to his face. Yang ran over to me and pulled me into a bear hug. She then shot a glare at the boy.

Yang: "If you EVER. Touch my little sister again I'll break you in half!"

We turned to see Ozpin approaching us along with dozens of Atlas soldiers.

Me: "Professor Ozpin!"

Ozpin: "You did very well. We'll take it from here."

Me: "But sir don't you-"

I stopped as I watched some of the soldiers carry large, sharp, metal, poles towards the boy. My mind quickly connected what they were about to do.

[(Y/N)'s POV]

I watched as a man with a cane, silver hair and brown eyes walked towards me. He gave me a warm smile as he got closer.

Ozpin: "Hello there. My name is Ozpin. I apologize having to meet you like this, but you are a very hard person to find."

Me: "Why do you want to talk to me?"

I spoke in my normal monotone voice.

Ozpin: "I wish to ask you a few questions. And-"

I saw soldiers behind him carrying large iron spikes and I knew what came next. I tried to move my arms and legs but as if knowing what I was about to do Ozpin caught my attention.

Ozpin: "We won't use them. As long as you cooperate. I need you to fill in the blanks. You were in that lab because..."

I was silent then spoke.

Me: "I was found when I was a child. I lived in the woods alone, when a man saw that Grimm had no interest in me he took me to that lab, with promises of a home."

Ozpin: "And why do Grimm not have interest in you?"

Me: "I never found out. They never told me."

Ozpin: "And what went on in that lab?"

Me: "At first, they would sit me in a room, then lower different types of Grimm into the area, and record the reaction."

Ozpin: "But then..."

Me: "Then... They tried to unlock my... What was it? Aura?"

Ozpin: "And when it didn't work?"

Me: "They started panicking. They looked... scared... Then a guard, he... Shot me... They kept shouting freak, monster, abomination... demon."

Ozpin: "Do you know why they did those things?"

I shook my head.

Me: "After that, it was none stop testing. They never gave me answers as to why..."

Ozpin: "And what kind of tests did they perform?"

I zoned out as I remembered every 529 tests.

[Ozpin's POV]

Once I asked my question the boy seemed to shut down. But then I noticed his lips moving. I leaned closer so I could hear him.

???: "Test 1, firing squad. Test 2, Beheading. Test 3, Internal Bleeding. Test 4, Organ Removal. Test 5, Disease Injection. Test 6, Dust Consumption. Test 7, Drowning. Test 8, Buring. Test 9, Explosive Implants. Test 10, Plasma Bisection..."

He kept mumbling while staring off into space. It started to become even too much for me to think about. Being alive, conscious, and able to feel all this, was too much for a being to endure with or without a soul. But how many tests did it take for him snap? One final question.

Ozpin: "How many tests were there?"

There was a pause... Then he looked me in the eye. A strong-willed human would be able to keep their humanity for maybe a handful of these tests, surely he endured maybe 70 to 80 of these before snapping.

???: "529... And pending."
