Ten Little Soldiers

by IndyRevolution

After months of non-stop training to fight the Space Pirates, the Heroes of New Chorus are allowed some down time in the New Republic's fallback bunker. However, when the doors lock and a strange voice hijacks the intercom, the situation takes a turn for the grim, and the crew finds themselves in the center of a murder mystery.

Alright, so I got the idea for this after reading UhhICanExplain's TEN LITTLE HUNTERS, or at least what's published so far (go read that if you haven't already, it's pretty good). This is a murder mystery starring ten members of the RvB cast, taking place after the events of Season 12. This will obviously draw huge inspiration from Rooster Teeth's very own Ten Little Roosters and (seeing as it's a fanfic), the series that started it all, Red vs Blue. If you haven't watched either of those yet, well… then I don't really know what you're doing here.

Note this will be somewhat darker and more gruesome than the previously mentioned sources, so I'm playing it safe by sticking on an M rating.

Ten Little Soldiers

Ten little soldiers all gathered to rest

Déjà vu struck and nine were left

Nine little soldiers, some filled with hate

One lost their voice and then there were eight

Eight little soldiers, wishing they'd been eleven

Reality bit back and then there were seven

Seven little soldiers, a killer in the mix

One went too far and then there were six

Six little soldiers, all kicked the hive

One slipped their tongue and six became five

Five little soldiers, none wanting more

One followed orders and then there were four

Four little soldiers, unable to flee

One hit a cliche and then there were three

Three little soldiers, one made the wrong choice

The killer was killed

And the hero rejoiced

Okay, so the rules are much the same as Ten Little Roosters. There are Red Herrings, meaning that clues and weapons are intentionally thrown in to throw you off, and there are specified roles, meaning that there's only one murderer.

HOWEVER, there is one deviation. At some point, someone who is NOT the murderer will kill one of the victims. The polls will allow to guess if, when, and who the secondary killer is once they are open. At the moment, classes are my current priority, so the first chapter might not be out for a few weeks, after which the guessing polls will be open. However, once they are, I will try my best to keep to a consistent schedule. Happy hunting!

P.S. If someone would be so kind as to create a poster in the style of Ten Little Roosters, but with the characters listed above, that'd be amazing and I would love you forever.
