Chapter 1: Betrayal
Me and a fellow author were pming and we both agreed that Felix's death was really a waste of his charterer and done unjust. So here we are, enjoy!
/
"No" Locus said emotionless. The single word shook my entire being, made me feel something I wasn't accustom to: fear. "No more killing"
"What are you talking about?" I accused "You're a soldier, remember?"
He stepped forward, looking down on me. "I'm not a soldier, I'm a monster...like you"
"Locust we are partners, SURVIVORS!" This couldn't be happen, no it was impossible. He would never betray me. He didn't even stop me from potentially dooming our own men. I was the betrayer! Always one step ahead! "WE need each other! What about our orders? Our reward? Becoming the ultimate weapon?" I yelled with my arms out.
"I'm not doing this for the reward, I'm not doing this because someone told me too. I'm doing this for me."
How could he do this to me?! All those years fighting together, all of the odd jobs to spread our name, becoming one of the most notorious mercenary groups and for what? To throw it all away for these...these pathetic simulation troopers? To save this planet and its people? Do you think this will change what we've done? We are beyond redeemable!
I let out a deep sigh "Then you can die with the rest of them."
Before any of them could react I threw the sword like key at my former partner to throw them off their guard so I could kick up the LMG into my hands. Why, was the only the thought I could form as I sprayed the reds and the blues.
Sensing danger from the back I activated my shield just in time to block their shots. I didn't need Locust to finish this. They thought they could beat me? Felix the badass slash lady killer? I'm stronger and faster then they could ever hope to understand. The freelancers were nothing, after this I'll become the strongest soldier alive. Finding a new partner would be my only inconvenience.
I fired from behind the safety of the shield causing them take cover. Why even bother when your just going to die anyway? I don't understand why you even fight! Your soul existence is to die by the hands of those stronger then you! You're nothing!
Plop "Huh?" Was the only sound I could make as I gazed at the beeping bomb attached to my shield.
"Guess we learned a thing or two from you villains after all" Announced one of the reds.
I'll be fine, I just have to release the hologram then reactivate it. There's no problem I- "Hey Felix" Tucker called "Catch"
The grenade rolled towards my feet before it came to a stop after hitting my boot. How? I am the strongest! I am the fastest! Why is this happening to me? This isn't how it works! "Wait!" I sounded pitiful even to my own ears.
Obviously the grenade being the emotionless killing machine it was did not wait and wasted no time detonating, sending my form in the air. I was allowed one brief moment to take in the world around me. To see the simulation troopers...still alive. At the top standing next to tucker was locust. My partner. That was my last thought before I was engulfed by oblivion.

Today was an especially beautiful day in Remnant. The sun was shining, the trees were dancing to the moment of the wind and four normal high school girls were doing normal high school girl things. Or at least normal for remnant.
"Are you sure this is-" Weiss looked at the duck tape holding the makeshift catapult together "Safe?"
Ruby gave her a serous look giving her hope that she would see the obvious danger in this. "Nah probably not" she snorted "Yang are we ready to fire"
"I'll send you out with a Yang" Came the older sisters crappy pun much to the distress of the rest of the team as she prepared to launch her sister into the great beyond.
Two weeks it had taken, two long weeks. All of their free timed used to gather materials and make blueprints. Mistakes were made and many a Arks were harmed in the making of this beautiful contraption. But it was all worth it now.
"Ruby I really think you should think this through" Advised Weiss looking somewhat fearful at her teammate. She never expected them to get it to work, so she bide her time and waited for this whole thing to blow over. Hoping that this would all become just a distant memory. Now this whole mess had the potential to become a very gruesome memory that would give them nightmares until the day they die, if only she had tried harder to stop this madness.
"The time for planning is at an end!" Yelled the smaller girl "Remember this day girls, for today we have made the impossible possible. We refuse to be held back by the boundaries of society, let none deny us this moment earned though our combined sweat and tears. Ladies, PREPARE TO CATAPULT JOUST!"
"Team JNPR is ready to fire." Informed Blake while reading from her scroll.
"Ruby we really nee-"
"Fire!" Ruby ordered, cutting off Weiss. Yang gave her a mock salute while putting on her shades. For a split second she wondered if this was really the best idea. She was about to send her own sister airborne at speeds unknown to man. Ruby could be in serious dang- she pulled the lever
Before Weiss could react her friend disappear in flurry of red rose pedals. She turned her back on the catapult and walk away solemnly. Her part was over, it was in gods hands now.
The world passed by in a blur of colors before settling to a light blue color like the sky, makes sense because shes in the sky. The red themed girl felt weightless as she soured through the sky. It was peaceful...
It begins as a whisper, a promise. The lightest of breezes dances above her fellow students. That breeze became a wind, a wind that her sisters had sacrificed for. A wind of freedom, a wind of justice. A wind that carried the cries of a certain teenage blond gi- boy. Target spotted.
Jaune unlike his fellow beacon students was anything but graceful, that not only included his fighting style but also his way of talking along with everything else that defined him. That's why it came as no surprise when Ruby spotted his form flapping like a bird with his eyes shut tightly while screaming to the heavens.
The heavens turned their back on the poor wannabe knight as Ruby readied her lance and let out a fearsome war cry akin to a baby bird squawking. Juane took notice of this and prepared the best he could. When people asked him why he was covered in bruises he would tell them that he killed a pack of beowulfs by himself...with a fork.
The distance between the two was closing fast yet the battle had already been decided...
/
Fuck you locust. Fuck you reds and blues. Fuck you new republic and the feds. This was death, an eternity of gloomy resentment. Wasn't exactly what I had in mind, I pictured more strippers but all I got was this empty bodiless darkness. So case in point...fuck you eternity.
I wanted to hate him, to loathe him for turning his back on me. But the bastard had grown me; understanding seeing as how long we've been partners. No I like to think we were more then that, and that exact thinking only made it worse because the indisputable fact was that he chose them over me. He didn't try to save my life or even bargain with me. He didn't care.
"Waken criminal" Fuck off this is my eternity. I've got the rights to all the hating in my hell. The voice was familiar however; reminded me of a certain red alien A.I.
"Fuck you Santa" I said using the name the blue idiot had used "You aren't planning on selling me to some demon sex ring are you? I mean I'm fine with it but I want to pick my customers"
"You're full of malice, more so then before" He observed only pissing me off further.
"Well this kind of thing tends to happen after your only friend betrays you and you get killed by the biggest rookies the galaxy has to offer. So yeah, if you're looking for someone to make slurs about your mother, what a whore she was, then I'm your man. You need an inspirational speech about your new mind set on killing your pals because 'you want too' then you might want to speak to locust. When you see him I want you to stare at him for me, he hates that shit" I muttered the last part. "Also don't call me a criminal, I'm a soldier and the best at that."
"Your pride is what got you where you are now, added to the fact that you have the mentality of a teenage human girl with abandonment issues. I will continue to call you the name you have so rightfully deserved, soldier is a title only to be given to those who fight to preserve or protect."
"Now that you mention it...daddy never did give me enough love, bastard"
He didn't speak for a long time after that, making me believe he was gone. Too bad, I was really enjoying our little talk. Of course he wasn't done yet though "Felix, even with your carefully crafted mask I can see whats really inside you." Ah shit this was going to get deep wasn't it?
"Organs, blood?" I supplied before I remembered my death "Shrapnel? Whatever you say it better not be love, any fucking friendly forest animals come out here to sing and dance with me and they are all going to die. Disney went out of business years ago, don't you dare resurrect it." I warned.
"I didn't think I would hold any change to your judgment before I came here"
"Great you said what you wanted too now get the fuck out, its really creepy that you're here actually, Christians would shit if they knew about this. So is death like some sort of simulation or are you part A.I part god? You know what never mind, I need something to thing about for the next couple FOREVER"

Poor Juane didn't stand a chance. Before the joust, Jaune being the little week man he was made a great big lance to compensate for near barren dry masculine levels. It made him feel like a Jack with a harsh a J like in lumberjack. What he did not account for was weight. Up until now the adrenaline rush that was aiding him keeping the weapon up was now gone. He could only watch pitifully as it slipped from his hands and fell back to Remnant.
In the half a second he took to look up it was already over. His ego would be even further damaged as a small girl wielding and even bigger lance then his collided with him with the force of a Boarbatusk whose wife had just left him. His friends tried to reassure him that she was no good for him anyway.
Pain erupted throughout his entire body centering on his chest where the lance made contact, contact however is weak word to use when the said connection was more like a newbie prisoner's first Friday night in the showers with Mexican brothers Pippy and Nacos who had been giving him the eyes since dinner.
Ruby pushed forward, feeling nothing as she took the scrawny boy with her. Jaune instead of going forward was now being thrust backward completely at the mercy of Ruby. Like every situation he had ever been in he just took it. Just like that newbie prisoner.

"Fool, you're not dead." He chided "Unfortunately it can be denied that you're skilled no matter how corrupted you are"
"Yeaah I'm a real corrupted champio- I'm not dead?" I asked completely dumbstruck. No way he was lying, he had to be. When he didn't answer I assumed it to be true. This was great! "Well what am I still doing around here?"
Just for old times sake, fuck you eternal death! What was I thinking? Simulation troopers kill me, ME? Wow now that's comedy gold right there, way better then any joke I could come up with. Oh did I have things to do! First there was...well there was. If I wasn't dead then...then what? Go back and complete my mission? Kill the reds and blues?
I'm alive. It wasn't over, I wasn't doomed to this hell that so righteously awaited me. I AM ALIVE.
Then why am I so sad? "Hey Santa why don't we keep her lights out? I've gotten pretty cozy here. I was thinking about buying a couch"
"You sad pathetic creature" it said "There's always a dissonance between how people act and what they're really like. Humans tend to characterize themselves a lot."
"The fuck you say?"
The A.I sighed "You've done enough in this world. As a favor my creator owed to a man most likely long time dead you will be going there. A home of real warriors."
"I'm not going anywhere!"
/
"Incoming!" Yelled Nora to her teammates while she dove for cover at the sight of the high speed projectile coming there way. Pyrrah hunkered down behind her shield, Rin decided that he didn't want to be apart of this and ran away while trees made sure too...Well the poor trees are fucked. Nobody ever gives the trees the proper recognition.
The leaders of team rwby and jnpr struck the ground hard enough to make it shake, sending debri and pelting those remaining. It was ugly as most disasters are but to what point was someinthing even the students of Beacon weren't prepared for.
The catapult of jnpr lay in ruins and the dust made it hard to determine the condition of the team leaders hard to determine. At the sight of Ruby's red cape Pyrrah ran to it hoping that they were ok. The sight that greeted her was demoralizing. A grief stricken Ruby sat over a lifeless looking Jaune. The smaller girl look to her older classmate and shook her head slowly.
Pyrrah dropped to her knees with tears in her eyes "Nooooooooo!"
/
"Its time" Santa informed
"Don't you dare!"
/
The rage queen made her appearance behind the two red themed warriors, she slowly placed her hand on her friends shoulders reassuringly. How cant you reassure someone when you're not even sure yourself?
"What have I done?" Ruby asked herself. It was supposed to be the new game of the century, her name would go down in history forever. They had worked so diligently to achieve this and all they received for their hard work was this? History would remember her, remember as just another screw up. The other members of team rwby, sensing an ominous aura, quickly took off to make it to the other side.
Weiss surveyed the area with detached eyes before she focused in on Ruby and Pyyrah crying. She then saw what there tears were aimed at. A knot rose in her stomach and threatened to put her in the same dilemma as the others but she stood strong. In the aftermath somebody would have to carry the burden. She could take it, being raised in white castle had made her an expert in putting on a mask.
Just before the mood could get any worse, Jaune farted, releasing the last bits of his masculinity. He sat up slowly taking in his surroundings, he noticed everyone crying and he adopted a brave face "Don't be sad"
He said right before he was crushed by a gray and orange blur.

AN: Well that's the first chapter! How many of you thought I was going to put Felix in Jaune's body? Don t lie now. Anyway we all know Felix is way too badass to go into Jaune, even with his Boba Fett bitch screaming death. Not that I don't like Jaune, its just too easy to make fun of him. No pairings planned yet (Felix has to be at least 29) but that can change if you guys so wish it. Also I need some help, any idea what Felix might look like under that helmet of his?
Obvious question that I will answer now so you don't have too:
No Jaune is not dead.
If you have any other questions just feel free to ask!
