Jaune arc The Human's Shadow

Waking up to the cold.

LoopJaune arc pov
I feel cold and my body was laying on something hard but smooth? Then I heard a splash and I woke up being wet. I shivered from the cold as I looked around, from the ceiling to the floor. It was just smooth stone tiles of blue and gray, the room was pretty huge. I looked up into the corners of the room and saw cameras that were bolted up in the ceilings.

There was some kind of door structures on the room and ceiling. A trap door on the ceiling and a door beind me with a handle, and some kind of huge gate in front of me.

My ears started to hurt as something was just screeching from the ceiling, A voice blared from some kind of speaker hidden in some part of the ceiling.

???: Welcome all of you welcome to the "Cage." We offer all 750 people that are in here to be turned into something beyond a "normal" person.

Wait, wait, what do they mean by becoming something beyond a "normal person?" Oh no, are these people one of those psychos that try to experiment on people to find ways to make the body stronger. Oh HELL no!  I was trying to think of a way to escape but then the voice blared in the room again.

???: We have determined and concluded that there are too many of you,  we will begin the first trial.

Wait what? A trial? 

The trap door from the ceiling opened and something was dropped, I moved out of the way to see a rusty dagger that landed on the tiles. I picked it up and got my back to the door behind me. The gate started to open and I heard something snarling and growling? I saw a white hand with black nails extending out of the opening that the gate made then I saw the yellow pupils and red eye liner.  Oh shit, it's a grimm! I held my knife in front of me, ready to move around the room if the grimm. I didn't struggle in the "INSIDE" to die here!

Meanwhile
Dr Jamison pov

My name is Dr Jamison, a researcher and director  overseeing this top secret project of making a type of super soliders for Atlas. General ironwood was not notified because he would've said no. Atlas as well the other three kingdoms, no the entire world needs good and better soliders then what we have now to fight off the grimm. Soliders that doesn't feel emotions or feelings, soliders that doesn't feel anything at all. Those things are the thoughts in my mind as I watched the people, no "parciptiants" in the room through a giant montior.

One of the secuirty staff named Marcus came up to me as I was watching from the montior.

Marcus: The trials for the males has started, I must ask why did you separate the male and female pe- I mean "parcipiants" apart?

It is because Marcus, Males are stronger then females in terms of physiology. Besides the implants sets for both genders have different purposes and to enhance a certain feature.

Marcus: So you separated the two genders or else the implants would mess with their hormones or something like that?

Absolutely correct, it is hard to explain but if we put the wrong implant in the wrong group or type of people then the body won't just reject the implant. The implant itself would literally change the body of the person to the point that the body's immune system shuts the entire body down and the person dies because they can't breathe or die from their body collapsing into failure.

Marcus: OK I understand that part but I got another question? 

Go ahead, ask your question.

Marcus: What is the point of the trials, espically the part where we released one grimm in one room where each participant is? 

To single out the people who have high amounts of aura or high amounts of combative skill.

Marcus: Combative skill? Large amounts of aura?

You see every pacriptiant are from that "INSIDE." Most of them were former academy students that recieve some kind of huntsman training. We want those kind of people.

Marcus: Wait wait, OK I get that then now explain what you mean by "large amounts of aura?

You know how at the academy, there was the measuring aura devices? Yeah those devices secretly give us information on how much aura that a person has. We are trying to find people who are not worth but also qualified to have the implants.

Marcus: I see......

We both sat in silence as we both watched the carnage. It was either the parcipiant killed the grimm and survive. The grimm killed the parcipiant or both the grimm and the parcipiant died. I noticed some of the pacipiants being different from the rest. There was this blond hair parcipitant with blue eyes that was holding a rusty knife. I watched as he slide under and over the grimm, he targeted behind the ankles, behind the legs. He stabbed the grimm in the shoulders so it wouldn't been able to use it's arms then finally he finished it off by cutting it's throat.

I looked to another part of the montior where a red hair pacriptiant using his semblance to burn the grimm alive. I saw how the pacripitants that survived or used their wasted tactical genius and potinetal or just pure brute force to kill the grimm that were released into their rooms. Only 130 survived out of this culling.

I barely survived from that grimm, I thought I was gonna die. If I hadn't moved that quick then the grimm would've ripped me to shred!. I laid againist the door, panting in exhuastion as the grimm began to fade away. Then I hear that damn loud voice again. Congrats on surviving, only 130 of you survived out of the 750. We will begin the next trial.

Another trial already? Oh cmon, I just fought for my life! You got to be kidding me!

I got up and got ready to fight but the door behind me opened and I held my knife as I walked out of the room to see a hallway with people coming out of their rooms.
