So I've decided to completely reboot this story. I've taken some advice from my fellow writers and wanted to do this story even better. This reboot will have some similar parts from the older one. I've also decided to make it a bit darker so if your a bit squeamish sorry. Read and review!
What does it mean to be human? Is it what defines a person for who they are? Is it how they look, how they talk, how they act? How they do certain things? If they have animal ears, tails and claws? Does small things like those make a person any less human or any less of a living being? Can you still be considered human when all you are now is a walking cyborg that is more machine than man? I don't know, but what I do know is that I'm a being that is constantly at war with myself, always wincing every time I look in the mirror and seeing the abomination I've become. I still wonder and pray to Oum above, am I still human?
"GGAHHHHH!" Jaune screamed in agony as the white fang interrogator dug her blade deep into his shoulder with a savage smile plastered across her face.
"Please keep screaming like that human. It's like music to my ears." The White Fang torturer said in a low voice as she pulled the blade out of Jaune'sshoulder.
Tears of anguish were streaming down Jaune's face as he forced himself not to sob, not wanting to give his torturer the pleasure of hearing his crying form. The fox faunus sighed as she wiped the blood from the blade she was using and got eye level with Jaune.
"Listen here human, no one knows where you are and no one is going to save you. So do yourself a favor and follow my instructions. Call the leader of team RWBY and give her these coordinates so that our leader may deal with the traitor Blake Belladonna."
Jaune looked back at her with eyes filled with fury and spit in the faunus's face in defiance. This only made the torturer smile as she sat down the knife and drove her foot into Jaune's chest, sending him and the chair he was bound to onto the floor. Jaune wheezed as the air left him and felt a wet cloth draped across his face. He wriggled in desperation as he felt the water splash on his face. The Arc thrashed as he felt the faunus hold him in place, preventing him from removing the cloth and continued to pour the water at a faster rate. Jaune felt himself gasping for air, feeling as if he were drowning. He felt himself almost passing out until the water stopped and the cloth was removed from his face.
"Fine then Human. If you refuse to break then I will message them myself." The fox faunus pulled out Jaune's scroll and typed out the message to RUby, "Team RWBY and JNPR, we have your friend Jaune Arc. If you wish to have him back still breathing, you will hand over the traitor Blake Belladonna and come alone. If you try to tell your teachers we will know and kill him. You have 24 hours to come to this address."
"The deed has been done human. Now all we have to do is wait."
"So are you going to kill me?" Jaune asked in a hoarse voice as he stared at the blood leaking out of the wound in his shoulder and back at his captor.
"That all depends on if they bring Blake Belladonna. However, I messaged them that I'd leave you breathing. That doesn't mean you have to be in one piece." She spoke with a sadistic smirk and grabbed a circular saw.
Jaune's eyes widened in shock as he thrashed as violently as he could, knowing full well what the torturer was about to do. She wrapped a cloth around Jaune's mouth gagging him as she whirred the saw to life.
"Let's see that stoic face writhing in agony when I cut off a few limbs. Oh don't worry, I won't kill you but you'll feel such unimaginable pain that you'll want to die. Now, why don't we start?"
All that could be heard from outside the door was the sound of muffled screams in agony and the sound of a saw cutting into bone.
"WE HAVE TO GO SAVE HIM NOW!" Pyrrha and Ruby screamed in unison as they tossed wildly in Yang and Nora's arms.
"Pyrrha! Ruby! I know you're both worried but we need to think about this with care. They'll know if we go to the teachers and Jaune is as good as dead. What other adults could we turn to?"
"We could ask Uncle Qrow. He teaches at Signal and can be here pretty quick. With him, we can bust in there and save Jaune then get out."
"Good idea Yang, is there anyone else we could turn to?"
Ruby rose her hand and spoke up after cooling down.
"We can ask my friend Penny, remember the one from the docks?"
"Perfect, please call her Ruby. Now for the rest of us, we need-"
"No." Blake said sternly as everyone looked at her.
"I'm the reason why Jaune was kidnapped so I'm going alone."
"Oumdammit Blake we are not going through this shit again!" Yang screeched as her eyes turned red in rage.
"Blake, we're a team. We want to get Jaune back but we're not going to sacrifice one friend for another. We're going to go there together, save Jaune and be back here all safe and in one piece." Ruby smiled to her teammate and Blake smirked back.
"Alright, we'll go there together. Thanks guys."
All of them nodded in agreement, not knowing what was happening to jaune at that very moment.
"Now isn't that just a pretty sight?" The insane faunus giggled as she looked at the now legless Jaune who was hooked up to a blood pack. The Arc was staring up at the ceiling with nearly lifeless eyes as silent tears fell from his face.
"I'll give you another hour to recover and I have to say your aura is something else! It prevented you from losing too much blood when I chopped your legs off! Now that's impressive! Say goodbye to your arms human! Because they're next!" The door slammed as Jaune was left by himself.
"Please...if there is any God listening...just let me die..." Jaune whispered to no one as he closed his eyes, hoping for death to release him. Unfortunately, it never did.
