Just something I made a while ago.

Summary: Having suffered too much humiliation and repeated scolding, Felix has had enough. He was going to show his boss what he was capable of. Unfortunately, there is a saying. Do not bite the hand that feeds you.

Chairman Malcolm Hargrove and Felix narrowed eyes at one another. Few minutes ago, Hargrove was just having a nice conversation with his buyers until Felix came in. After informing his buyer that he'll call back, Hargrove hung up and focus his attention on the mercenary.

Hargrove asked, "Is there something the matter, Felix?"

"Yeah, you." Suddenly, Felix pulled out his gun and pointed it at his employer.

"Felix, what in the Heavens are you doing?"

"Isn't it obvious, I'm taking control."

While this should make everyone tense, Hargrove calmly sighed, "If it is not too much to ask, why do you desire in taking control?"

"Because of you," Felix growled, "I've have had it with following your orders. I followed them and all I got was humiliation. I got beaten by a squad of god damn idiots."

Hargrove replied, "If I remember correctly, that is your own fault. Locus and I have repeatedly advised you not to underestimate these simulation troopers but you shrugged it off and right after that, those said simulation troopers bested you with just a video."

"Shut up!" Felix fired at a nearby wall

Felix walked towards the Chairman menacingly, "After I kill you, I'm going to gather all your secrets and sell them to the highest bidder. I'm pretty sure they love to get their hands on info about how the UNSC Sub- Oversight Chairman is not as clean as he project himself to be."

"And in turn, my company will crumble and everyone in it will be arrested," Hargrove pieced it together, "except you."

Felix laughed, "Ding Ding Ding! The old man got it right. Give him a prize. Yeah, it's a shame that my pirate buddies have to take the fall too but that's the life of a mercenary. We love to backstab. "

Hargrove continued to watch while Felix monologue, "I betrayed the Reds and Blues and the New Republic. What makes you think I won't betray you? I'm a badass while you're just a shriveled old man with delusions as far as this ship. You're a fool, Locus is a fool and everyone who works for you is a fool. And I'm going to prove it. RIGHT. NOW!"

Felix smiled. He had all the cards. He was not going to go down. Suddenly, his glee turned to confusion. Instead of panting in terror like he wanted, the Chairman gave a dark chuckle.

"Hahaha, my word Mr. Felix, you really are into dramatics" Hargrove grinned, "As entertaining as it is seeing you ranting about your pitiful masculinity, I regret to inform you that it is you who is the deluded fool."

Felix snarled, "Grrr……What-"

Before he could pull the trigger, Felix's fingers were not responding. Then, his arm felt the same way. Soon, all of his body was not able to move. He was frozen like a statue. Chairman walked by his desk and showed a triggering device in his hand.

"What's going on?" Felix angrily demanded as he tried hard to move once more.

Chairman explained, "That dear Felix is the Recovery Mode, courtesy of the former Director of Project Freelancer, Dr. Leonard Church. When a Freelancer or a simulation trooper is injured, their armor enters this mode to keep the wearer alive for an amount of time until a Recovery Agent extracts it."

Chairman circled around giving a smug at his immobile usurper, taking out the knife he used. Chairman played with it as he continued, "After I recovered many of Project Freelancer's technology, my first act was to install the Recovery Mode into all of my soldiers' armor which also includes you. Just in case if someone like you attempted to break away from me or had the desire to harm me or both."

Hargrove thrust the knife into Felix's leg who screamed, "AAHHH!"

Hargrove then pushed the merc making him fall to the ground hard. Hargrove shook his head, "You know, I finally understand how Private Tucker managed to outsmart you," Hargrove leaned down and whispered near Felix, "You are surprisingly stupid."

Felix tried to move but he couldn't. As Chairman stood up, the doors opened and entering were the Space Pirates.

Locus saw the downed Felix and asked the Chairman, "What happened?"

Hargrove informed, 'This traitor attempted to murder me and attempted to sell us out."

"He's lying," Felix gritted his teeth.

Hargrove pressed another button and the speakers boomed in Felix's voice, "After I kill you, I'm going to gather all your secrets and sell them to the highest bidder. I'm pretty sure they love to get their hands on info about how the UNSC Sub- Oversight Chairman is not as clean as he project himself to be."

Although Chairman could not see Felix's face but he logically guessed it was a face of horror.

"Yeah, it's a shame that my pirate buddies have to take the fall too but that's the life of a mercenary. We love to backstab."

Felix had no words to say. He listened on as his confession was being heard by his allies who now glared at him in disgust.

"You're a fool, Locus is a fool and everyone who works for you is a fool."

Felix was sweating nervously. He began to felt something that he hadn't felt for a long time; Fear."

Hargrove smiled to his men, "Gentlemen, I believed that a form of punishment is in order."

Felix breathed heavily as the Space Pirates were closing in. One of them grabbed him and punched him the face, "Gah!"

Then, another kick him in the stomach.

"Oofph!"

One by one, they sadistically pummel him. They hated him before but this….takes to a whole other level. They want to make him suffer.

Felix slammed to the ground once more.

The Space Pirates are about to continue until Hargrove halted them, "That's enough. Recovery mode off."

Pressing the button, Felix regained control of his body. Sadly, he was too injured to move. He looked up and saw his former allies looked down on him like wolves on a single deer.

As this was happening, Charon's head scientist arrived and Chairman politely asked, "Tell me doctor, what is you diagnosis on Mr. Felix."

The scientist responded, "Well based from what I observed, the man suffers from Anti-Social personality disorder caused by a number of factors such as mommy issues, daddy issues, abandonment issues, bully issues and much more. Such a poor creature."

"Indeed," Chairman sighed and then he had an idea, "I got it, why don't you take Felix to the Implantation program? I'm sure some of our more colorful AI will bring some sense of order to him."

Hearing this, the scientist gave a dark glee, "Excellent idea, Sir. Take him."

The Space Pirates lifted Felix up and he struggled to break free. It was hopeless. He turned to Locus, "Locus, buddy, please don't let them do this."

"….."

"Don't let them take me."

"……"

"Please!"

Locus's response? He walked out of those doors and didn't say a word.

Chairman mused, "Seems to me you've burned that bridge down as you did so many times."

The Chairman nodded to them and they take Felix away.

The merc cried, "No…no…nonono…No…..NOOOOOO!"
