There was nothing quite like the thrill of a good chase. Chasing down the target as they tried to outsmart you, only to realise that it was useless and that they were doomed to fail.

As such, Felix elected to take the paladin chase the two kids and freelancer.

Well, that and Felix also wanted to try out what a battle mech was like in this universe.

Spoiler alert: so far it was fucking awesome.

Landing on the highway with a thump, Felix continued to chase the two kids, (he should really learn their names at some point), and smacked cars let and right.

Seeing that they were maintaining a good speed ahead of him, Felix opted for a different approach, picking up on of the passing cars and ignoring the screams of those inside. He threw the car a head of the cat lady and the small kid, causing a massive explosion on impact as it hit a truck, stopping them in their tracks.

Seeing the duo turn to face him, Felix activated the speaker system.

"You know, you shouldn't cross highways, it can be very bad for your health." Felix informed them, in response they both readied their weapons, a comically oversized sythe, and a fricking katana.

"Really, your going with swords and gardening tools?" Felix laughed, "Alright, lets see if your any good with them."

At this proclamation, Felix swung him robotic fist at them, causing the pair of the to scatter, but before he could follow up he got an unusual sensor reading behind him, prompting Felix to turn around just in time to see a bright yellow motorcycle slam right into his mech. This causing the prototype the land flat on its back and caused Felix to feel a tad pissed off.

Fiddling with the controls, Felix got the mech back on it's feet, now seeing that the blonde chick had joined the other two. Just great. Not to be dissuaded from the fight, Felix fired a missile right at the blonde and charged at the catgirl swinging his fist at her, only for her body to evaporate before his very eyes. Felix was then taken aback by the small one slamming her sythe right into the paladin nearly sending Felix off the end of the highway.

Yeah... that simply wouldn't do.

Regaining his footing, Felix prepared for the next swing of the sythe and when it came, he side stepped it and grabbed the sythe, taking it's owner by surprise. Grinning, Felix pulled the sythe closer and grabbed its owner. With the kid in hand Felix started squeezing, and to his delight the same semi transparent armour he'd observed at the docks appeared, protecting the kid.

"Hello Washington." Felix greeted, "It's been a while, hows Carolina?" The kid that Wash was hiding in gave no response except struggling. Disappointing but eh, whatever.

The armour then registered several explosive impacts to his left, of course it was the blonde chick again. "Leave ruby alone!" She roared as she charged head on at him, really living up to that 'dumb blonde' stereotype.

With his expert aim, Felix threw the girl he now knew as ruby at the blonde chick, nailing her right in the head.

Felix had to laugh, these three were weak.

Wait, these three. Where was catgirl?

Several warnings popped up on the interface about the back fuel storage. Ah there she was.

With a surprising degree on agility Felix quickly picked up the faunus from his back and threw her to the floor of the highway. He then raised his fist and threw it to the ground, ready to crush her...

Only for it to stop mere inches away. He tried to make the fist go fully down, but the controls were not responding, then without warning, his own robotic fist hit the paladin right in the face.

As the mech regained its footing a new player entered the fray, the final one of the little group, Pyrrha Nikos. (the only reason he knew her name was because she was on the cereal he ate.)

"Now things are going to get fun." Felix spoke into the speaker, but that system was broken by that last attack. As his former partner would often say; unfortunate.

Now everyone was here, facing him, and the blonde was on fire for some reason. Felix made his mech strike the universal 'bring it' pose.

"Ladybug!" Ruby shouted, still glowing in the transparent armour, as she shot herself forward and sliced at the robot's legs, while catgirl aimed herself at the giant's feet as well. They both dashed forward and attacked at the same time, circling each other around the Paladin with each strike, faster than Felix could react in the mech, until they both launched themselves into the air and come down together his left shoulder, cutting off the left arm entirely.

Fuck, that was bad.

Not wasting any time, blonde launched herself from Niko's shield, slamming right into the centre of the mech, Felix's own controls not responding, and she started the deliver fiery punches that punched off most of the chest armour, sending Felix right to the edge of the high way, thinking fast he grabbed the fiery girl and jumped right off the edge, he let go of her as they went into free fall, but in a manner of complete bullshit, the blonde suddenly stopped mid air and started going right back up towards the high way.

Felix's landing was rough and the mech was totalled, but Felix himself was fine, so he counted this in the 'win' category.

Breathing heavily, Felix left the mech and ran.

By the time the brats got to the mech, he was long gone.

It was a shame that Felix was gone when Sarge finally arrived to the scene of the crime, he would've enjoyed introducing the mercenary to his shotgun, once got it back of course.

By time he'd gotten there the police and Atlas military where on scene, interrogating team RPBY and securing the mech respectively.

His first course of action had been to talk with good ol' agent Washington and find out exactly how the blue had messed the mission up.

And that led to him informing the red leader about Felix.

"Damn dirty mercenary's." Sarge grumbled, causing Wash to nod gravely.

"Him being here and with a physical body will make things harder for us, especially sense he seems to have allied himself with the White Fang." Washington stated the obvious like a blue would.

"Good. Maybe they'll be more of a challenge next time."

Wash gave on of those long sighs he liked to give, mostly when he caught Sarge giving advice to Ruby.

"Hey, where's Caboose?" The blue team leader suddenly asked, causing Sarge to look around.

"I dunno, coulda sworn he was here a second ago..." Sarge replied, it always seemed like Caboose was away doing something.

As if on Que, in a way that only Caboose could achieve, a loud scream of "Yes!" Echoed through the kingdom of Vale.

Both Sarge and Wash simultaneously made their way over to see what had made Caboose so exited, but as they got closer another voice could be heard.

"God fucking dammit!"

The duo paused that voice, it was very familiar, then they ran right to the source of the voice, and came face to face with Church, in a deadly bear-hug being administered by Caboose.

"Let go of me!" church screamed, at the same time caboose was saying "church! Church! you're here! We can go shopping and climbing and eat ice cream and..."

Caboose continued to list off all the things he and his 'best friend' would do together, while Church beginning to say increasingly creative swears.

Having had enough of the pillow talk, Sarge gave a sharp whistle that got Church and Caboose's attention.

Caboose kept a tight grip on Church and came over like a exited puppy with a toy in its mouth.

"Agent Washington, sergeant I found Church!" Caboose exclaimed, holding Church up proudly.

Seeing that the cobalt trooper was still struggling, Wash said "Caboose, could you set Church down?"

"Of course Agent Washingtub!" Caboose continued to yell, it seems that finding Church has removed all volume control from the one person who really needed it. God help them all.

Once he had been set down, Church immediately began talking deep heavy breaths. After a minute of this the blue pulled himself back up to his full height.

"Washington? Sarge?" Church questioned. "You guys are here too?"

"That's right, good to see you again Church." Wash nodded, then the freelancer asked an important question. "Church, whats the last thing you remember?"

"You as a matter of fact." Church answered immediately. "Specifically me telling you that I am a motherfucking ghost. Which, by the way is now proven totally correct, so you know, suck it Washington."

"Ahhhhhh, so you're the Alpha, not Epsilon." Wash nodded again.

"What? No, no, no, no, no." Church objected. "I though we settled this! I am Leonard Church, I am not your fucking Alpha A.I, no fucking way."

Church then though for a moment. "Also why the fuck would you mistake me for Epsilon, who is your shitty broken A.I, explain that!"

"We've got a lot of catching up to do blue." Sarge stepped forward and chuckled.

Then, before anyone could say anything else, Ruby walked onto the scene.

"Well guys, we've just finished talking to the police, Ozpin bailed us out and-" Ruby stopped apon seeing a new solider among the regular three.

"Whose the kid?" Church asked, causing Ruby to take a few steps forward.

"Dad? Is that you?" She questioned cautiously.

"Uh, sure as hell hope not." Church shifted uncomfortably.

'This is not nice Church." Caboose explained. "This is Church Church! And he is going to stay with us forever!"

Ruby looked to Wash for a more reasonable explanation.

"Ruby this is Church, the original one." Washington explained.

"Oh! so you're the former leader of blue team?" Ruby asked innocently.

"Yeah that's me. Hi." Then Church's brain caught up to exactly what it is Ruby said.

"What do you mean former leader of blue team?"

Meanwhile in the Beacon Guest Dormitories...

"Hey Neptune."

"Yeah?"

"Do you ever feel like you just missed out on something?"

"No Sun, and go back to sleep."

"Cool, night dude."

"Night."

Notes:

Well, that's the end of that chapter.

First off we have Felix and team RPBY getting into their first skirmish, most of this was quite simple, and I had fun dreaming up a Yang/Pyrrha duo move (Pyrrha launches Yang at an enemy and subtly uses her semblance to keep them restrained while Yang beat the crap out of them), even if I couldn't think of a suitable name for it.

Next we have everyone's favourite ghost joining the Beacon gang! I had a lot of fun writing Church in this chapter, and can't wait to write more of him in the future. Especially sense this is Church as the Alpha, who I prefer over Epsilon. (But Epsilon is still awesome)

And finally, having re-watched Painting The Town... last night, I realised I had forgotten that Sun and Neptune existed, so I gave them a little cameo at the end.

I would like to thank everyone who commented last time, such a positive reaction to my work has made me positively jumping with joy. As for the status of there being ladybug in this fic, I do think that I will go for it, even if it won't be the biggest part of the fic.

As always I would like to thank everyone for reading, and i'll see you all again next time.
Till then, i'll catch ya'll on the flip flop.
