Hello all! Yeah I know I should be working on my other stories, but one of them, I honestly want to completely rewrite, and the other is a bit boring for the moment as nothing is happening. So I decided to do this challenge I wandered across. It's for a RWBY/Maze Runner crossover, posted by Darkus Cyril. If you want to find it and do it yourself it won't be hard at all to find, there's only 2 other RWBY/Maze Runner crossovers so you can't miss it. I'm going to be doing a faunus OC main character for this. Just a heads up, I'm not good at explaining the clothes, since I made them up and don't know what to call certain things. THIS FOLLOWS THE BOOK MOSTLY. Enjoy!
SOME W.I.C.K.E.D. EMPLOYEE'S POV:
I stared at the monitor and rubbed my eyes, yawning. Today had been long. After Thomas' sprint into the maze, the brain patterns for almost every subject had gone haywire. Now that most had accepted the deaths of the three outside the walls, it was more relaxed back in the headquarters. I wasn't monitoring Thomas or Minho thankfully, the two with those jobs would be up for a long time. I pushed my rolling chair away from the desk and stood up stretching. The room was dim as most of the light came from the screens, and it was obvious that it was now night time. The artificial sun in the glade went down a half hour after the real sun. Leaning over the keyboard once more, I exited control of the beetle blade I had been using, and returned the screen to the main camera assigned. The view now pointed out towards the east door.
After waving goodbye to my few colleagues, I picked up my clipboard of notes and started walking back to my room. The hallways had one fluorescent rod of light on the ceiling every few feet and a small window every twenty. The living quarters were all the way on the other side of the complex from the monitoring rooms, and my feet already hurt.
Looking out one window as I passed the main entrance I spotted a dark lump on the ground in front of the giant doors. Every day I passed this window I looked out, and that lump was never there.
"Open door two." I told the man who controlled the heavy metal gates.
"What for?" He questioned, before doing so anyways.
I strolled out and put my clipboard on the ground next to me as I knelt over it. The air was cold on my skin as my hand reached towards the object. I gasped when I felt clothes, and after turning it over I realized that it was a boy. Calling to the gate operator to come help me, we dragged him inside to where we could look at him better.
"Go get Chancellor Paige." I told him. He nodded and headed back to the operation desk to close the door again.
"Oh never mind that, hurry!" I snapped. His hand quickly left the control plate and followed the rest of him as he scurried off.
As I waited for him to return with the chancellor, I started to examine the boy. I pulled my long auburn hair back into a ponytail so it wouldn't get in my face and knelt next to him. His skin was the palest I had ever seen on anybody, which contrasted greatly with his jet black hair. It was fairly long and pushed back from his forehead and ears neatly. It clung to his neck, and at first glance could have been mistaken for fur. Two large tufts stood up on top of his head. The longest point just reached the collar of his odd shirt. It wrapped around the base of his neck and came together in the front where it was wrapped around itself. The sleeves were long and loose, getting wider at the forearms. It was black with red designs on it that somewhat resembled fire. He had a belt on that wrapped around his waist twice and held the shirt together, but it had no buckle and looked like it was fuzzy. His pants were black also and went down until they were stuffed inside long combat like boots that went most of the way to his knees. A pocket on the thigh held a silver rod that when examined later was found to have many different parts to it, although no one at W.I.C.K.E.D. could get it to open.
I heard footsteps and stood abruptly when Chancellor Paige appeared with 4 other whitecoats and the door operator in tow.
"Chancellor." I nodded respectfully. She returned the nod before looking down at the boy.
"Take him to the examination chamber. Patch him up if you find any physical injuries, then send him for a brain scan." She said over her shoulder to the 4 doctors, her eyes never leaving the unconscious boy. They ran forward and lifted him onto a gurney and wheeled him away. She turned back to me.
"I know that you have just finished working, but I want you to monitor this new subject." She said to me, her cold eyes staring at me. Of course I had no choice but to nod and follow the doctors down the hall I'd just come from.
When I caught up to them the boy was already in an operation gown and lying face down on a table. However none of the doctors were beginning the tests.
"What is it? Why are you all standing there?" I asked them walking over to see what they were staring at. I gasped when I saw it. The tufts of hair on his head were actually small ears. The fuzzy belt, now unraveled into a long, sleek, black tail that connected to his torso right below the small of his back.
"What is this?" I whispered, with my hand over my mouth.
"The internal image that we're taking now will tell us if this is something he's always had, or got surgically attached." One doctor said.
I nodded slowly. A few minutes later they came back with the picture. It was of a mostly human skeleton, however a long trail of 18 caudal vertebrae exited the spine about three inches above where a human tail bone be. The fingernails were slightly thicker where they connected to the skin, and naturally pointed. The boy's skull was shaped to allow usage of his human ears, and the ones atop his head. The jaw line fitted with larger, sharper canines. His limb structure had more joint areas so so that if he were standing, they would align perfectly to appear on the outside, that of a normal human. However if he crouched on all fours they would shift and re-align so that he could stand like a quadruped also. His muscles were bigger, his bones denser, and most undoubtedly he had better use of his senses.
"His anatomy appears to be the perfect combination of animalistic and human structures. It seems he is predominantly human, however there are also traits commonly shown in large cats. A quick DNA test will tell us what species exactly." A young doctor in his 20s said, swabbing the inside of the boy's cheek. "In the meantime, we'll take a proper brain scan. This would be wonderful variable to throw into play. We haven't considered genetic enhancement of the subjects."
"We shall have to see how he preforms in the trials first. I will inform Chancellor Paige of this intelligence. Send the test results and scans to my computer."
"Yes ma'am." They nodded as I left. I quickly found the chancellor and told of the odd news.
"The information is being sent to the files on my computer as they discover it ma'am." I said handing her some notes I written down.
She flipped through them, and nodded curtly. "Hmm, good. Get some sleep. You will wake early tomorrow to assess this further. As soon as he's cleared I want his memory wiped and him in the elevator into the maze."
I widened my eyes but agreed nonetheless. We separated and I once more headed for my room.
When I got there I kicked off my shoes, slipped my lab coat off and fell into my bed. I was much too tired for anything else today, too much had happened. Tomorrow the most interesting subject of yet was being sent, and I was in charge of recording his patterns.
So yeah! This is chapter 1. Or the prologue. Whichever way ya want to look at it. I feel like I went into a bit too much detail with the anatomy and I'm not even sure if everyone understood what I was saying… oh well, I find things like that interesting. Bodies are like self-sustaining machines that are built with exactly the parts necessary to survive as long as possible. Honed over thousands of years with fail safe abilities like super strength and wicked fast speed! YOU CAN EVEN EAT YOURSELF FROM THE INSIDE OUT UNCONCIOUSLY SO YOU WON'T DIE. So cool. Wow I kinda just rambled on, sorry. But yep! Chapter 1! Or prologue. The first part of the story. Yep. See ya in the next one!
