Personal Log: Emerald Sustrai
The flight to the supply warehouse was fairly uneventful. They cuffed me, just in case. I was okay with that, because I knew that the warehouse was safe.
Little did I know that our previous employers booby-trapped the damn building.
Arc tripped up on a tripwire alarm, and I expected the worst. Surprisingly, he took all the blame, claiming "He should have foreseen traps" and "It's not like she led me to the trap.
Other than that, the warehouse was just as we left it, stock full of guns, ammo, dust, food, and other supplies.
After Arc tripped the alarm, we gathered as much as we could, and hightailed it out of there… only to be jumped by at least a division-over 200-of mechs. Arc had freed my wrists just before we left, and gave me my weapons.
So there were nine of us against 200 well trained mechs.
In the chaos, and the red, white, and black mech parts flying around, I thought I saw a different mech. It was green, and looked almost human, with hair and everything.
I didn't think anything of it, until I saw the same mech attack Arc.
Good as that kid was, he was no match for that mech. Ive never seen so many swords swirl around a person.
I went to help, but a fucking Paladin blocked my way.
The rest of the battle was a blur, and soon, we defeated them.
Then we saw it. The biggest fucking ship was turning our way, releasing what I thought was dirt.
It wasn't.
It was a massive fleet of bullheads.
We had to go, and out of habit, I did a headcount. 8 students.
Arc was missing.
…
Cut to a couple weeks later. We'd assumed he was captured by that green mech.
After describing what I saw to Rose, she began to mumble "Penny, no… it cant be. It must be. Penny no…"
She grew hysterical, and Xiao Long had to carry her away.
It seems like War can change anyone. I knew of Rose only by reputation.
She was apparently supposed to be a crazy, happy fangirl with an endless supply of energy.
That was not the Rose I met. This girl was silent most of the time, deadly serious, and absolutely not a fangirl.
Anyway, im getting off topic. A few days after Rose's episode, one of Ironwood's fast ships flew over us, dropping something.
We thought it was a bomb, and took cover. The object impacted in the courtyard, wrecking the statue.
It didn't explode though.
Rose, Nikos and I were the first on the scene.
It was a large cylinder, and looked a lot like an escape pod.
Rose cautiously opened the pod, took one look inside, then screamed and disappeared.
I looked next.
Honestly, I don't even know if I screamed. I was transfixed by what I saw.
It looked human. Arms, legs, a head, and had a bit of yellow/red hair.
That is where its human resemblance ended.
Its skin was black and red, and its face… ill never forget that face. It's mouth was slightly open, showing a few teeth. A few remaining teeth. And one of its eyes was a burnt looking empty socket.
I heard a voice to my right, "Oh my god. No. no. no… JAUNE!" it was Pyrrha.
After I looked closer, I noticed her identification was correct.
The beaten, bloody, and broken person was none other than Arc.
In one of his hands, he held a disc.
The hand, however, was… wrong. It looked like his fingers had combined into one massive digit.
With a gasp, I realized that his fingers had been melted together.
The rest of his team and RWBY helped us carry him to the infirmary.
They cleaned him, and his wounds… I've seen some fucked up shit, but never like this. There were scars and lacerations on every inch of skin I could see, and when he opened his mouth, his tongue was… not visible.
He is now awake, but hasn't said or done anything but lie there.
And the video he had… was of him… being… I'm sorry. I can't finish this. I have to go throw up.

A/N: quick notes. I actually wrote Jaune's torture scenes out, but didn't know if they were suitable for readers… they are pretty dark. I just want to say, there will be NO rape in this story. I believe that that is the worst crime someone could do to another. And lastly, this is a war story, so there will be horrors that are definitely not family friendly that will be in this story. If you want me to post Jaune's torture stuff, comment that you want to read it. If there are more than 9 comments for it, then I'll post it. If not, then I'll probably add it at the end as a deleted scene. Now, to my last final. RWBYRedReaper out!
(and shoutout to OrangeGalen for giving me the idea for Torture. Blame/thank him, not me.)
