RWBY: X OUT
(This entire story will be voiced by the Storyteller)
As mentioned in the previous story I had read to you, the Alliance Research Bureau was known for many creations that furthered the Alliance's efforts. But this time, I will be telling about 14 special individuals who became a crucial element of the Alliance forces. The ASRB was the main handler of the X project, a secretive research program that would develop 14 special operations operatives to act as the Alliance's chief field operators.
The first of these 14 special operations operatives was a young man who was once a native of the Kingdom of Vacuo. Once a penniless street thief, he lost the use of his arms in an accident with an oncoming truck. He was found by the Alliance, who recruited him into the program in exchange for the protection of a group of urchins who were actually a group of escaped slaves. His body was augmented with Neuro-muscular stimulant frames, and his arms were immediately replaced with mechanical limbs that are controlled by a unique form of wire that can be manipulated to form shapes and weapons. Though the wire appeared thin, it was able to cut through anything that the boy could concentrate it towards. The reason he was entrusted with the wire weapon was due to a unique talent of his that caught the Alliance's attention; when he ever pulled a theft, he managed to do it by discreetly latching a small hook with a string and carefully swiped wallets with ease.
The first time he ever saw action was when he was a part of Operation: Gladius, the elimination of a Faction of smugglers and human traffickers. He took part of the action by which he managed to neutralize 4 enemy airships, all by using his wires to shred their engines. Though he fought for the Alliance, he was both shell shocked and amazed by what he could do as he fought in the battle. From that battle, he set out to become stronger and more than just some good for nothing coward, and this train of thought led to him becoming one of the greatest agents in the Alliance.
Though he was the first of the X Project operatives, he found a mentor in his subordinate and second in command...
