The master of war
Chapter one. The beginning
My name is Simon Camron and my whole world for almost as long as I can remember is a four by four crate. Well I say crate but that's a little misleading it's actually a cube of solid steel about six or seven feet thick, wrapped in about three feet of titanium. Yeah I know over kill that's what I said but I guess that's what happens when you have a past like mine. It started out in a lab, yup a lab. Anyway I was an experiment to create the perfect soldier. The goal was for me to be able to move faster, think faster, hit harder. You get the idea. Well it worked a little too well. You see they wanted a super solder that was hard to kill right so they gave me a regenerative quality. Sounds cool right well like I said it worked to good. Okay I'm going to stop dancing around it. I can't die, or at least not easily. I have avoided decapitation because while I can regrow limbs and fire negates my regeneration so I don't want to test it that badly after all I still feel pain. Little known fact, growing limbs is excruciating. Like on a scale of one to ten (ten being dipped in molten lead) it's about a twenty seven. But that's enough about me back to the crate and why I was in it. You see the experiments weren't exactly legal.
Flash back: first person
"Huh" I sighed "when am I ever going to get out of this damn lab, all they ever do is cut me up and test my regeneration. I thought I was supposed to be a soldier."
Suddenly a large explosion rocked the facility and the blast doors on my room started to seal.
'What the hell I got to get out of here it sounds like we are under attack'.
But just before they could seal I slipped out. Like hell they were keeping me out of the fight. I started to race done the hallways when out of nowhere I was tackled by a man I didn't recognize. He wore a black body suit with a tactical vest, and camo pants, but even weirder was his face which was covered with a face mask depicting a skull. I was starting to freak-out when he said "are you one of the experiments?" "Answer me!"
I stuttered out in fear "y-y-yes sir"
He seemed to relax slightly and said less aggressively "good I'm part of a strike team here to rescue you and the others, my names ghost." Then he asked me "can you lead me to the others?" I just nodded he gestured down the hallway in an after you signal so I started running back the way I came.
Just as we were nearing the first room that we experiments lived in I saw through the one way mirrors into my best friend's room as it was filled with fire. I just stared as he was swallowed up. Fire the one thing that slowed our regeneration. As the flames faded I saw that everything in the room was ash. Everything. Gone.
"Damn it!" I heard ghost yell "it looks like those bastards are trying to clean up after themselves. C'mon we need to go."
I just stood there and stared at the pile of ash that was my best friend.
"C'mon lets go!" Ghost yelled as he grabbed my arm but I jerked out of his grip and started to back away from him as I said
"This is all your fault. If you hadn't come hear nick wouldn't be dead."
To which ghost replied "and you would never get out of here. Look if you want to blame me feel free, but do it after we get out of here."
But I just shook my head and continued to back away until I heard him say
"Damn it we don't have time for this" as he pulled out a gun and shot me. I looked down at my chest and saw a small dart sticking out of my chest as the world started to fade to black.

Whump, whump, whump,
"Urgh. What hit me? A truck." I slurred as I awoke
"Hey doc he's waking up!" I heard a voice yell
"What no way there was enough tranquilizer in him to knock out a rhino." Another voice yelled back
"Well come see for yourself!" the first voice yelled over the noise I now realized was a helicopter
"Here I've got a solution" I heard recognizing ghost's voice. As I felt another dart hit my chest.
As I was fading out I heard the doc yell "are you fucking nuts anymore tranquilizer could kill…"
And all I knew was black.

Two days later
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP,
"Urgh what is that."
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP,
"Why won't it go away?"
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP,
"Will someone turn it off?"
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP,
"Urgh will someone turn that damned thing off!" I yelled.
"Sure thing kiddo" I heard ghost say.
"Wait ghost?" I thought "what's he doing here?" "Wait where is here?" and with that I looked around at my surroundings. Clean bright white walls, Bright white lights, Bright white walls, and bright white sheets. It was settled I had to be in a hospital. Then I looked at ghost and saw what he was wearing. Jeans a dark green t-shirt and converse. Then it hit me. "Nick!" I yelled starting to panic I tried to sit up and realized I was restrained. Why was I tied down?
"Whoa there kiddo easy don't want to hurt yourself." Ghost said calmingly
"Easy for you to say, you're not tied down to a bed!" I yelled
"Well if you would just calm down, I will untie you" he replied coolly. With that I started to calm down. "Good" he said as he started to undo the bindings. "Now we can get down to business, I am here to give you an offer from my commanding officer. He wants you to join task force 141."
"Why" I asked
"Because with you being what you are that's the best thing you can be. Plus we don't have to give you as much of a backstory." He stated very matter of fact.
I started to think. "This is my chance to become what I always wanted to be" "ok" I said
"And plus yo-wait what" he stumbled out in shock.
"I said ok" I replied smug in that I got the seemingly calm man to be shocked.
"Well that was easy" he said
"Why wouldn't it be that easy, after all that's what I was made to be." I stated
"Ok then let's get you checked out and on the way to hell-I mean boot camp." He replied with an evil smile that made me worry.
Two years later
It was two years after I joined the army and the admiralty has decided that I was a liability. They were going to kill me but they didn't know how so they ambushed me in my apartment when I was showering. I managed to kill twelve of the attackers before one got behind me and stabbed me with a needle. I turned and punched him in the face shoving the cartilage in his nose into his brain. He was dead before he hit the ground. And with that I passed out from whatever was in that needle.
-Master of War-
When I awoke I saw that I was in a dark room spread eagle, held aloft by chains.
"Simon Camron you stand guilty of treason" a loud booming voice stated. "your punishment for this is immediate incarceration for the rest of your life."
Then a light snapped on and I saw a box of metal. "this is my prison? A box with no windows, no light, and no sound." I thought sadly. The chains disconnected and I was dropped into the box. As I hit the bottom the top sealed with the hiss of a pressure seal.
End flash back
P.O.V change the spy
"I have to let Ozpin know. This information is critical. C'mon damn it answer your scroll!" I nearly screamed in frustration
"hello" I heard "what is it"
"I don't have much time you need to know they intend to break into beacons weapons vault and steal the weapons container. You need to defen…" crack crack. The line disconnected as the man was killed
P.O.V change professor ozpin
Crack crack beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I turned the scroll off sadly knowing what happened to the poor soul that brought this critical information to me. The terrorists known as the white fang were going to break into the vault and attempt to steal the greatest weapon in the world. What it was no one knew. Only that it was the most dangerous weapon in the world.
"Glenda" I said into the intercom "could you send teams cfvy, rwby, and jnpr to my office please."
Ten minutes later
I looked at the three teams that I just briefed on their new mission. Guard the weapon at all cost and under no circumstance were they to open it.
"Do you understand your mission" I asked. They all nodded "good then get to it."
P.O.V change third person
"Oh I wonder what's going to be inside it" ruby said to her partner.
"And you'll never know you dunce, remember ozpin said to not open it" wiess yelled
"Oh come on he'll never know if just take a…" crash "peak. What was that" ruby asked
"No idea but let's check it out" wiess replied "over there it came from the mechanism to open the container"
As they approached the container they saw that the machine had come to life and was starting to open. And what they saw inside surprised them.
"it's a man" they both gasped in surprise at the same time.
