The Renegade Doctor

White Fang R&D facility-50 Miles from Vale

"Doctor Virgo is everything alright, you seem a bit...on edge as of late".

"No, no I'm fine Captain sir, I just been a bit stressed out from the preparations I have to complete that's all".

Of course I wasn't fine, what doctor would be after finding out his months worth of research would go into making a terror weapon.

"Just make sure you have the samples ready by tomorrow, Adam really wants to see how effective your neurotoxin is too humans"

"I'll pull an all nighter to make sure everything 100% complete"

"Whatever; see you back at the barracks virgin"

"it's Virgo"

"still means virgin" and with that he left.

When you spend weeks even months working on creating a toxin that can kill millions you sometimes tend to ask yourself, “at what cost?”. I never intended for it to be used as a weapon, I originally planned to for home defense, but those bastards threw that plan under the bus. No, I can't let them have this kind of power. As much as I want the Faunus to strive for equality there are ways to do it that don't involve genocide. However, deleting the files on how to create said toxin and destroying the hard-drives wouldn't be enough since I already made over a dozen samples, I'll have to something more drastic. It didn't take me long before I found my answer. At the opposite end of lab stood four drums full of fire dust that we used for certain experiments. "I know what I must do".

It doesn't take a genius to know how explosives work, and fortunately it doesn't take a bomb expert to know how to set a remote detonation. I gave one last look at the whole lab and left with the detonator in my pocket, but Before I left to watch the "fireworks" I decided to acquire something for my own protection. This came in the form of a case I received on behalf of the facility when I first arrived. Being apart of the R&D team we received barely if not any combat training compare to our front-line counterparts. To makeup for this we were each given a "emergency combat kit" encase if Atlas ever tried to raid the facility. Grabbing my kit I took out the following items. A kriegsmesser, a 45 cal pistol, and a nevermore mask which are used to instill fear.

"alright now I just have to make it past the entrance and no one will we the wiser".

"Hey doctor Virgo, I'm surprise to see you're still here, shouldn't you be back at the barracks like everyone else?" the guard asked as I pass him.

"Yeah I was just making sure the samples were ready for tomorrow, and know I'm just going to head out for a walk".

"Alrighty then, just make sure you watch out for those Grimm".

"Yeah I know".

Alright I'm almost in the clear. Now I just have to get to safe distance and-, "where do you think your going virgin". I froze in my tracks near instantly upon hearing the voice of one man who deliberately calls me virgin. Hesitantly I turned to face him "oh um, hi Captain I was just heading out to get some fresh air before heading back" It didn't take me long to notice the handle/hilt of a long-sword behind him. "Don't act like I don't know what you're going to do". Fuck he knows,

"How did you-".

"The security cams were on the entire time and I was alerted the moment they notice your actions were dubbed suspicious".

Crap how did I miss something that important and critical, wow I am a dumbass. "Now why don't you be a good little fox and hand over that detonator and I'll schedule your execution". Now did the weirdly lay back tone in his voice freak me out slightly, yes. In fact it always has. Did it deter me from finishing what needed to be stopped, no. Not even close. Feeling cocky I took out the detonator from my pocket and said "the only way you're getting this detonator is by taking it from my cold, dead, hands".

"have it your way dead-man" said the lieutenant as he charged at me long-sword ready.

Reacting quickly I unsheathed my sword just in time to counter his attack. "Quicker reflexes than I expected doctor, and I thought this would have ended in five seconds" the Captain said still in a calm demeanor. I tried to force him back but he outmatch me in strength by a long shot. Feeling the pressure on me I jumped back ending the sword lock. The time would eventually succeed from 5 seconds to over 5 minutes, the sound of metal clinking against metal echoing thru the trees. Somehow I was lasting, but the question is, how much longer? I had to think of something fast, it's only a matter of time before he gets the upper-hand. If his aura wasn't so strong I could probably make a dent in him, unless I-.

Before I could continue thought process the Captain caught me off guard and kicked me into a tree, knocking the wind out me, and dropping my kriegmesser in the mix of it. "Ahh..fuck, I guess I have no choice". Glancing at my hands and legs I can already see it activating. "Well you were certainly more bite than bark". Looking up I see the Captain staring down on me. His sword pointed towards my face, "but no matter what your still a doctor going up against a man who trained for years to get to where he is now". I almost feel bad for what I'm about to do to him, almost.

"So, any last words before I consider your "resignation".

"yeah, look down".

"Huh?"

his eyes glance downwards and a look of disgust protrudes across his face. Below him a thick dark blue substance flowed around his feet and ankles. "Oh god really?!, you could have at least died with some dignity". Now was my chance, as he was distracted I sideswipe at his legs causing to slip and fall face first into my trap. I rolled out of the way, standing up I upholstered my pistol just as he started to recover.

"Congratulations, you've earn yourself a much slower painful death" the Captain said, his eyes beading with anger. "See you in the afterlife" he quipped as he started to run at me, his sword ready to kill me with an overhead strike. Hoping to stop him I quickly aimed my gun at him, close my eyes and fired 4 shots. Opening my eyes I immediately see the Captain laying on the ground in what I assume shear agony. Walking up to him I could plainly see look of pain and confusion sweeping across his face. "AHHUGH! what the fuck happened?!, how did that go threw my aura?!, What did you do?!".

"Well you see Captain" I said staring down on him. "You should be careful of what you step in, you never know what it could be". I said as I felt the substance receding back into me.

"Y-you h-have a s-semblance".

"That's right".

"How?!, when you first registered in you said you didn't have one".

"I did, but then I found out".

"F-found out what?"

"well you see Captain after doing some extensive research on the side I found out that everyone in remnant, Human or Faunus has a semblance"."however only around 5 to 7 percent of those will ever unlock theirs naturally, but I found a way to unlock it manually".

"i-impossible".

"with science and technology anything is theoretically possible". "Of course there were some side-effects that I later discovered such as occasionally vomiting blood, difficulty breathing, but the weirdest side affect by far is that my semblance also effects me as well, in other words if I didn't move out of the way earlier you would've crush my rib cage".

"W-wait is that why you p-past out weeks ago after receiving only mild burns".

"Oh that incident, yeah never let a grunt near hydrochloric acid when someones trying to figure out what their semblance does".

"You really are f-full of s-surprises Doctor".

"yeah, I suppose I am; unfortunately for Captain I think you and I both know what happens next" I said pointing my gun to his head.

"G-go ahead, it doesn't r-really matter in the end".

"However before I show some mercy in killing you I have to ask why"?  "Why would you take something I made to protect us, and simply plan to use it for pure genocide?".


"Do y-you have any idea of what power you c-created". "A weapon so d-deadly that they'd have to listen to our demands, if not well..imagine exposing that stuff in a kingdom like Atlas". He then began to smile as if he was witnessing a similar event occur, and he had a front row seat to see it all go down,


"and what about the peaceful Faunus who live there?" "what if they get accused for what we would have done?" I nearly shouted at him.


"F-Fuck'em, those who don't s-support our cause are all traitors in the end"


"I...I'm just at a loss for words, when I joined this organisation I knew death was gonna be involved, utilizing lethal force and such to show that we can defend ourselves, but the slaughter of innocents is not what I sighed up for". I pointed the gun to his head.


"Innocent?!", "they're no better than those god damn Schnee's, and if you think the centuries of Racism that has been brought upon us isn't justifiable for genocide then you're no better yourself Virgi-".

I killed him before he could finish his remark. "It's Virgo" I muttered.

Reaching into my coat pocket I took out the detonator thankful that I didn't lose it in the fight. They will try to find me there's no doubt about that. It would be best for me to lay low for awhile. maybe I'll find a place that'll allow to do what right. Looking back at the facility one last time I flipped the switch.
