This is my second (Technically first, the first one didn't get anywhere) fanfic, this first chapter (I guess?) is kind of short, sorry.
In a secret research facility in Atlas, a faunus girl sat on her bed, reading a book, that was her only form of entertainment, she wasn't allowed to go out or have friends. She just sat there, reading book on top of book. The hours passed and she was still there, reading. That monotone lifestyle was normal for her, and she didn't care that it could be seen as boring, she liked it this way.
The girl's reading was interrupted by an alarm that signified that her meal had been sent. She went to the gap in the metallic wall and picked up the tray of food.
Once she was done, she tossed the tray into the receiving station and laid down on her bed. The only thoughts on her head were about what happened eleven days ago and what was her purpose of existing. At the time, she didn't know or think anything, she just existed. - Doctor! Subject N-02 has responded and it's nervous and cardiac systems have stabilised. The process can begin it's final phase. - It was a slightly high-pitched sound, the girl didn't know what it was. As a involuntary action, her eyelids opened showing grey eyes that darted around for answers she couldn't comprehend.
This time, it was a deeper sound - Begin the last procedure, initiate transfer. - At that moment the girl's mind was flooded with memories. Memories of places, people, scholarly subjects, among other things.
- There are variations in the brain waves, but that's within our expectations, no significant change in metabolism. - The high-pitched "voice" said. - The experiment is, at last, a success. - There was a different, more "relieved tone" to that voice.
When the girl was able to focus again, she saw, based on "body type" and "facial structure", a "man". - Do you understand what I'm saying, N-02? - He spoke with a soft voice. The girl nodded. - Amazing! All the steps have been cleared. N-02, you are amazing. The first biologically synthetic person with two souls!- The other people in the room released the girl from the chains that bound her. - But N-02 isn't a name, just a code... - He seemed to stop and think for a while. - Noir! That name fits you perfectly. As for the other soul... I shall name her "Blanc". Noir and Blanc Cenis, that's who you are.
Ever since then, she would live out her life the same way, study, train, eat and sleep. This made for a very monotone life which was normal and okay for Noir, but not for Blanc. A voice resonated within Noir's head - Switch with me! You've been using that goddamn body for two days now! I want to do something fun! Not just sit here! - It was not often that they would argue like this, but in situations where "fun" was involved or when Blanc wanted to do something exciting, they would.
- We are not allowed to leave our quarters until we receive missions from either the doctor or Mister Ironwood. Furthermore, you've gone to a mission two days ago where I think you had enough "fun" - Noir was sitting at the desk, reading one of the books that had been assigned to them. Noir knew Blanc was the type of person who loved to mess around and disobey orders and she was never going to let her do that. Just as she was about to finish reading, she heard the room's alarm
- Noir, Blanc, we have an assignment to you, we have received a report showing that recent rebellious and dangerous groups are going to disrupt an important meeting tomorrow. - A woman spoke from the communications centre. - We need you to go there and, by all means necessary stop them from doing such depravities. The method doesn't matter, you may simply stop, incapacitate or... eliminate your targets.
- Finally! You've got to switch with me now, I need to do this. -Blanc appeared very excited.
- Well, it didn't take too long, did it, Blanc? You got just what you wanted. - Noir showed a little emotion, happiness for someone that was more than a sister to her.
They were dropped off close by with a helicopter. The place they had been instructed to attack was an abandoned building in the outskirts of the capital. As Blanc requested, Noir put a hand over her right eye and switched the main control of the body with her. By switching souls, she also switched auras and that caused her hair and the fur from her wolf ears and tail, which were previously black with white highlights to invert their colouring. After gaining control, she started to ready herself. When Blanc was ready to attack, Noir spoke to her - So, you're going to try your best to only incapacitate them, at least try not to kill anyone like last time. If you inflict fatal injuries on someone, you can use your semblance, remember that. - And with that Blanc ran across the rooftops and jumped, landing at the entrance of the building.
