The boy woke up in a daze. Opening his eyes, his eyesight was blurry and white. He couldn't feel his arms or feet in that matter. He heard mumbling coming from someone but he couldn't make out the voice. A few seconds go by and his hearing and sight began to become more clearer. The boy was in Ozpins office, strapped tightly in a chair. Blinking a few times, his vision became very clear. Ozpin, Glynda, and the General himself was in the room. Ozpin, as usual, was sipping some coffee in his mug.
"Your awake. Good, because we have plenty of questions for you." The general growled. He had several bruises on his face, and he was holding himself up with a cane. His right eye was blue and some dried blood was still on his face.
"I didn't mean-" The boy was cut off by a hard smack to the face.
"GENERAL?!" Cried Glynda.
"You know, the men after you killed some of my finest soldiers. 3 of those soldiers had families, while the rest were barley in their 20s. He said as he kneeled in front of the the boy. "Because of you, I had to send out 15 severance packages to those families of the deceased. It is because of you, those men hurt your team and some other students." He said, raising his fist to punch until Ozpin grabbed his arm.
"Jim, that's enough. We need him to talk and that would be more preferable if his jaw was still in its place." He said. Ironwood growled angrily, but nodded non-the-less.
"Mike, if that is your real name, those trained killers hurt many people, including some of my students." He said, eyeing the boy. The boy kept looking at him with a look of regret.
"Son, when I looked you up, Mike Travian didn't come up on any Records in Vale or the other kingdoms." He leaned forward, both hands clasped together. "I believe that honesty is the best option right now. So tell us; Who are you?" He asked. The boy looked and him and shook his head.
"I can't." He was met with a punch to the face. Glynda was about to intervene but Ozpin held his hand up as Ironwood kept punching him. The boy let it happened, not wanting to hurt the general.
"Talk and this will stop." Ozpin said, signaling for the Ironwood to stop punching him.
"You call this pain? I have been through worse." The boy said, spitting out some blood. Ironwood was about to continue but Ozpin stopped him.
"Son, we just want the best for you. Please, just talk to us." Ozpin said, looking at him with a sadness in his eyes. The boy mentally sighed.
"What I say is confidential and no one, no one, is to know that this conversation happened. Matter of fact, we never had this discussion, agreed?" He said. Everyone nodded.
"I am so going to regret this." The boy thought as he started to talk.
"Your right, my name isn't Mike Travian. My real name is Jon Alcatraz, and you won't find my name in any records because I was born in the Outside World." He said, noticing that they tensed up when he mentioned the Outside world.
"When I was only 3, my village and my parents were taken away from me. I lost everyone I loved that day but I found my sembleance that day. But, I passed out after I killed the people destroying my village. Some time later, I woke up in a Militia camp that thankfully wasn't the white fang." I paused, trying to collect my thoughts.
"I endured a training that is 100 times worse than Atlus boot Camp. I was tortured, beaten, and had endured so much pain that even Lava feels like a sunburn." I said, making them all wince.
"These people trained me and others so hard, that only 3% of the candidates survived the training. But, I was the top candidate and the rest of the candidates were killed by me."
"I was sent on Assassination and Kidnapping missions. I was also useful in torture and making people talk. I was also efficient in Hand-to-hand combat but I perfered using a sword than a gun. With a sword, my enemies stayed down and they never got back up."
"But, I met my 1st girlfriend, Sara, and she showed me how to be a regular person, not a killer. My love for her was so great, I left my "Company" and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. Keep in mind, I was 12 at the time and she was 11. I was stupid, but she didn't care." I stopped as those memories came back. Holding back tears, I took a deep of breath in and continued.
"But, some men from the "company" came and killed her while I watched. Meat was spilling out of her; where her head was supposed to be. I was so angry I killed everyone that I knew in the "company" and destroyed every home base there was." I finished, looking at them.
"Ok, but it seems that you didn't kill all of them, considering that some of your previous associates came to kill you." Ironwood retorted.
"No, it wasn't. I was thorough about killing my associates, plus they were Faunus. I know for a fact that my group was a no faunus type group." I said. Ozpin rubbed the bridge of his nose before sighing.
"Looks like you didn't, considering that they knew your name. Maybe an old boss of yours some how lived and is now leading the White Fang or is affiliated with them?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Not possible, unless.." My eyes went wide when I realized who might it be.
"No, it can't be.." I muttered but the general asked. "Who are you talking about?"
"There was a High Ranking officer by the name of James Carlton. He was the only person in the Militia that was pro Faunus. Not only that, he had a sort of semblance that takes the molecular bonds in metal, and transfers them to his bones, making him almost indestructible." I explained.
"You said almost; Care to explain why?" Glynda asked.
"My old sword, Krasnaya Smert, A.K.A Red Death, is the only sword able to break through his skin and bone. But, he was also my mentor and the only person that I even dare to call a father. So, when the time came to drive that sword into his heart, I stopped. I didn't kill him because I hesitated, due to our so called father/son relationship." I said. Ozpin then got up, and began to unhook the boy from the chair.
"Ozpin." The general tried to advise but he was shushed by Ozpin.
"Sorry for this Jon, but we needed to make sure that you wouldn't hurt anyone. The three of us will discuss your placement in the academy but until we reach our decision, I will call Team JNPR and make arraingments for you to live with them for the time being. Your classes will remain the same but all of your teachers will be keeping an eye on you. Also, try to stay away from Team RWBY. I understand it will be difficult since you share classes and are across the hall from each other. But, try not to speak to them until we can sort this out." He said. I nodded, got up, and left his office.
"Ozpin, I will find out about this student and this James Carlton figure. But, if you continue to keep this man in your school, You will make enemies at Atlus and me. Sooner or later, I will have that boy and any of his friends arrested and tried for the murders of my men. We are done." He said before leaving.
