*Jaune POV*
Jaune did it. He brought Shodan to Its 'knees'. He was inside some sort of cybernetic world brought to existence by Shodan's mind and the FTL drive on the ship.
" I-I-I-I don't understand, h-h-how can you have done to deserve this." Shodan spoke to Jaune as it continued " You weren't meant to be im-im-import-important. But now you thi-thin-thin-think to destor-you think to destroy meeeeee?" The A.I paused for a moment, there was no silence because of the dull hum and the non-stop voices of the program. Jaune would rather end the program's 'life' now, but there was apart of him that wanted to let it say it's final words; he wasn't a monster, unlike it. "How dare you insect, how dare you interrupt my ascendance. you-you-you you are nothing, a wretched bag of flesh. What are-are you compared to my m-m-m-m-magnificence?" Shodan then went on " But it is not to late. Do you not see the benefit of our f-f-friendship. imagine the p-p-po-power I could give to y-you. H-hacker. The cybernetic implants I gave you were simply toys-toys. If I desired I c-co-could i-im-improve you hacker, transform you into-into something more efficient. Join me human and-and-an-and we can rullllllle- and we can rule. Together." Shodan finished.
Jaune thought to himself, he was beaten, bruised, scared, and tired It was Shodan who put him through the pain and suffering in his life. Jaune thought back when he was first 'employed' by TriOp when he was hacking into their mainframe. Jaune remembered the time when he created this monster to get out of trouble. Jaune remembered when he woke up from his implant surgery to find most of the inhabitants on Citadel station dead. He remember losing body parts there; part of an arm, a leg, an eye, his lower remembers all the sleepless nights due to a level of PTSD close to that of a WW1 soldier. He remembered become apart of security for these ships. He remembered going into surgery again to find the Von Braun and Rickenbacker's crew dead. Now that he has lost the other arm and fought his way through The Many and robots to get here. And now that he is here and beat it. It had the gall to try to convince him to join it; that pissed him off.
"No" was all Jaune said before rising his M-22 Rifle to finish the job.
Shooting Shodan made it let out a loud cry that seemed to go on for mintues. Then everything went white, but Jaune didn't worry if Shodan was dead with him then he can die peacfully. Then color started to fill the once white abyss, till Jaune could see that he was on the Von Braun's bridge. But something felt off, he could see the black abyss that was space and a black hole out the window. And inside he could see everything that was on bridge before he enter cyberspace. No maybe it was the fact that every computer montor had the words 'Prepare for FTL jump' and had the number ten on them, and that the ship was pointed at the black hole. Shodan must have done this before he killed it.
Jaune's non-robotic eye widened. "SHIT" he cursed loudly as he started to run to the nearest chair to buckle up. He strapped down at the captain's seat as the countdown timer reached 5
'5'
'4'
'3'
'2'
'1'
Jaune closed his eye as the ship ripped apart time and space.
The jump was bumpy and loud because of the number of holes in the ship and the jump was tearing more of the ship off. "Argh" Jaune yelled as the mass amount of turbulence rocked him volently.
Then all was clam and quiet. Jaune unbuckled and got up off the seat. His leg were shaking as he walked toward the window. "Jesus Chirst" was all he said as saw something amazing but made him afraid at the same time. It was earth, but that wasn't what made him afraid it was the moon. It was in pieces. "How is this posable" he asked him self. Before he could question it anymore the bridge started flashing red lights.
"COLLISION IMMINENT" The robot voice said in a loud voice "T-MINUS 2 MINUTES."
Jaune lost his thoughts as he heard this, he saw that the ship was doing a nose-dive into the planet below. He had to try and slow down the ship before it ended up blowing half of the world apart. he ran to the piloting seat, then he started to work. First he pulled the ship up to create friction, then he turned on the retro-thrusters
"COLLISION IMMINENT" the robot informed him "T-MINUS 1 MINUTE."
Jaune cut off the main thrusters and put all power to the retro-thrusters. But as he broke through the clouds, Jaune saw something that made him question his sanity.
A dragon sitting on top of the tower.
"Dragons, of all things, it had to be dragons." Jaune stopped talking as he saw the city behind the dragon. It was burning in a sea of black and he could see fighting. "Holy. Fucking. Shit." He said before the Robotic voice told him he had 30 seconds. 'There could be people dying down there, I have to help them.' He thought to himself as ideas started to flow through his head. One idea stuck out like a sore thumb, crash into it. "Fuck it" he said to himself "if I die then it's going to be this way." He then angled the ship so that its nose point toward the dragon, then Jaune cut cut off the retro-thrusters. he was still going over 200 mph so that if the impact of the ship hitting it, the crash into the ground would. The Dragon didn't see the ship unit it was crashed into it, it yelped out at the sudden push, there was an antenna on the nose that impaled into it chest. Half of the tower it was sitting on was taken out with it. The ship then was slowly turned to the coast of the city. There was an loud boom that could be heard across the city.
*Ruby POV 1 minute ago*
"She's going to fight Cinder alone, you got to help her!" Nora yelled over the scroll's speaker. Ruby and Weiss were in beacon's court yard fighting grimm.
"Phyrra's gone crazy" Ruby yelled out as she cut down two beowolves. "Weiss I need your help for this!" she yelled to her partner. The two started to run toward Beacon's tower.
"Run up the tower." Weiss said as she laid down some some glyphs on the tower.
Ruby was about to run up the tower. But before she could the tower broke into pieces as a huge ship that had the name Von Braun crashed through the tower, with the dragon impaled on it's antenna. Cinder then came crashing down into the ground, the two readied their weapons but then discovered that she was dead due to the impact of the ship and ground floor. A few seconds passed before.
"What just happened?" Ruby asked.
*present time Jaune POV*
"SHIT!SHIT!SHIT!" Jaune yelled out, as he was crashing down on the ground and into bulidings. He was rapily losing speed but he was closing in on the ocean. He hit nose first into the ground before the bottom hit the ground. The started to dig a trench and ramed into some of the blacke creatures. It was till Jaune was 5 miles out of harbor was when the ship came to a complete stop. Jaune started cheering and laughing, that he was no longer in space and had lived through out the 'landing'. He pulled out a flask a started drinking out of it; it was vodka.
Jaune sat for a moment, the said"Well then time to get out of here. And greet the natives" he began to stand up and started to walk toward one of the service ladders on the bridge. Jaune hacked the hatch open and took his first step outside the ship in months.
damn that took a while. I was deciding whether to fix my first story which is no longer on the site, or start a new one now. And since there is little to none stories about system shock, I was like "hey, why not this instead. I can fix 'solider of fortune' later"
To those who did not know about my first story it was a Rwby and Gears of War crossover, where Jaune survives the Locust war and is telported back to remnant, had lots of loop holes and I made Jaune too op af (to name some of the problems).
Also if anyone was wondering Shodan's little speech at the start of this is really what she/it/whatever said at the end of system shock, although with a little amount of tweaks.
Also going to flesh out Jaune's backstory more, all that is going to be said it that Jaune was the hacker at the first game, went into cyrosleep for 35+ years, joined the military after he is woken up, remembers very little of Remnant due to a surgery for an impant, because it can really happen in system shock. He always carries his lazer rapier from Citadel Station with him. His implants/cyber-body parts are an eye, his left leg, his right arm, the lower jaw, parts of his brain, and half of his left wrist (his thumb, index, and middle fingers are gone).
I will try to update this as normally as possible, but no promises. Also the name, I want to change it but might not if it sticks aroung for long. And I will try to stay on one story at a time, with a few one-shots here and there.
