"I'm going to be honest with you friend,"

Six sat across the room of the man in bandages as he played with his card he got from the dead city so long ago.

"The stormking's torturers went over board set you ablaze," Six said placing down a red six ontop of a black seven.

The being groaned as Six flipped another card over.

"It's not that bad I gave you a good amount of a painkiller called med-x. You'll be numb until the venom I gave you will stop your heart," Six told the being.

The being in the bandages went wide eyed.

"MHHHHH!"

"Claim down friend. I'm sorry but unless you want to be healed back up and tortured again I think its best that you leave this world peacefully in your sleep," Six said as his helmet's red eyes looked down at the card. "You know what happened to you reminds me of someone I knew,"

The being coughed from behind the bandages as he was stopped to the wheel chair behind the table in front of Six.

"Out of all of the people I knew he was one of the few I respected back home," Six said as he placed down another card. "Heh Joshua is a good man... like me he cheated death,"

The being looked at six as he tapped his clawed fingers on the table.

"Then again there are no good men in the world," He said. "Everyone has done bad in there life... I'm no different,"

With a green flash the courier pulled out a Nuka-cola and placed it on the table before popping the cap off as he began to play with the cap with his fingers going his left hand then finally stopping at his thumb.

"Man how useless these are here... well I guess I could always melt them down for metal. What was I saying?" As the bottle cap vanished the courier reached up to his helmet. "Yeah no one is truly good,"

Removing the helmet he placed it onto the table as the being before him went wide eyed at the sight of the creature.

"Everyone from the king to the joker have somekind of darkness within them. Celestia, Luna, Cadance, hell even the new kid Twilight all have skeletons in their closest. At least the king doesn't try to hide his darkness one thing- actually the only thing I like about him... He's not afraid to show the world his true nature,"

Taking some Cola he spoke.

"Sure he's a liar, a killer, and more but even the four princesses themselves... From what I've heard and read from the text books Celestia has enough blood to fill a ocean," Placing it down courier six sighed. "She just as bad as Caeser back in the day but she can put on whatever act she wants... she's still responsible for the many death of her 'little ponies' and non-ponies thinking she was in the right,"

Holding his head as he looked down at the cards he hummed looking for his next card to play.

"No man or woman should have that kind of power over life and death," Six said as he placed a seven of hearts on the six of hearts. "Then again what is a man?"

Six looked up to see the being had his eyes closed before looking back down at his game.

"Damn it... gave him too much venom,"

Tempest over looked the new improved gear from Six teaching the storm king's craft-beasts of making more improved gear to his crafting tips. She had to say her new battle armor was fair lighter while being stronger than before as it covered more of her body.

"Heya Tempest," The teal eyed pony didn't looked away from the viewing tower as she heard someone eating behind her.

"What is it Grubber?" She asked to which the small diamond dog spoke.

"You got to try out this Cola-cake that Six guy taught the chiefs its awesome!" Tempest rolled her eyes at the fact that the small dog was even now right after lunch was still eating nothing but sugar sweets.

"I'll take your word for it," She said as Grubber took another bit as her elite guard was at the door guarding it before it opened when it did they froze knowing who was entering by the overwhelming fear that washed over them.

Grubber froze as well as he slowly turned to the door to see Six enter his helmet on his belt he walked forward using the lighter from the 'dead man who shot him' to light a cigarette. The diamond dog asked six about the man who shot him and why he had his lighter but one look from Six's robotic eyes told him all he need to know. Closing the lighter six sent it back into the 'pip-boy' he wore on his left hand.

The storm king wanted six to make more of these 'pip-boys' for his army so they too can use them for the fact they could carry a entire armory on a single troop. But he was disappointed when six told him how he knew many things and how to make mass weapons of war but even with his knowledge he didn't know how his second pip-boy word.

Six went over to Tempest who didn't bother turning to him.

"What is the stats of the prisoner?" She asked.

"Died from his wounds," Six lied.

Tempest looked in his direction seeing the same board look on his face as his fanged metal teeth showed off when he opened his mouth to exhale as smoke rushed out.

"Those things will kill you," Tempest said.

"They won't," Six said. "You know that already... I'm more than I was,"

Tempest knew what he meant.

From what he told her over the years in his home his body has been completely changed to his very DNA being altered by this 'radation' causing him not only to have parts of his body replaced but also cutting off any chance of him having children. His home sounded insane from these monsters such as 'ghouls' to 'deathclaws' though he could be insane from the things he told her.

Replacement of his very heart, spine, and brain?! And don't get her started on how he's told her of the many times his brain had been damaged!

Like that one time a madman sawed into his skull and ripped a chuck of his brain out almost killing him, then the time he was shot twice in the head, and finally the time where it was removed where he then had to 'talk with his brain' to have it come back. But every time he said these stories Tempest knew from her many years of travel when to spot someone lying and he wasn't.

Everything was the truth from his mouth but where in the Equestira he was from? She'll never know.

Who would coat his very bones in metal to have them not break? Or replace their eyes and organs with synthic parts to gain more of a edge? Even adding in 'inplants' to be placed all though out his body for more power? Or what about splicing your DNA with that of other animals and bugs to make you all that more deadly?!

Good goddess!

Those where when he was WILLING to do that to his body.

Tempest was a survivor and knew that she would take whatever it took to live but what Six did to himself wasn't survival it was pure insanity! She hadn't cared for anyone in years but something made her feel bad for Six from what he's willing to do in order to be the apex predator! One time she was betrayed but Six? How many times had he been stabbed in the back?

Those in the 'capital wasteland' who he saved only for them all to hate him even the brotherhood he was apart of killing his mentor and... someone close to him. His adopted aunt even left him afterward and seeing how he was no longer safer in his own home for a second time he left going though the wasteland which made her think from how he explained and the technology he had that Six was from another world but surprisingly unfazed by this new world.

Though the aliens story he told her made her think about that.

No tell what they did to him than what those mad things at 'the big empty'.

From going throughout his country from his home to many different palaces due to his mutations and cybernetics then he didn't really age normally so he seen many things both good and bad.

The one thing Tempest could think if he had all that technology why not use it for himself to create his own 'settlement' or use for revenge on the those who betrayed him? She'll never know.

"Hey Tempest," Six spoke causing her to snap out of it. "Do you ever wounder why were here?"

...

"What?"

Author's Note

Sorry couldn't help myself at the end there kinda tired as of late and still haven't show off what Six fully looks like yet though still tell me your theories!

Also, No he isn't a deathclaw in the fallout games you can get spilced with many different animal DNA from a fire ant (Fallout 3) to a nightstalker (Fallout: NV).

And 'second pip-boy'? What happened to the first? Well I'll explain later but don't worry he still has all his gear from his capital wasteland days heck he's using two weapons from the capital as to not draw more attention to himself.

What are they?

Well my favorite.

Back water lake rifle and a scope-less Blackhawk.

I find these fitting for the current weapons of the current time of Equestiran's weapons.

He hasn't got any other things either...

Though I just got some ideas from Wolverine movies for after the Storm king's defeat.

I don't want to spoil too much but... some pony will be happy if one isn't.
