Chapters This...
This...
This...
This can't be happening!
It was though.
The big mushroom cloud made of fire was before me as Japan was on fire along with South Korea and Hawaii all of them burned with nuclear fire.
He did it...
He actually did it...
That fat bastard actually did it...
I can only assume right now America and her allies have already sent their own nukes to make North Korea pay but of course, China and its allies would send their own for 'attacking' North Korea.
It was bound to happen, deep down I knew this would happen in my lifetime when the human race would kill itself.
"Stand by,"
That was all that was said before my radio went to white noise.
One can only laugh at how I would survive the plane crash only to die by radiation.
Ironic...
It's like that scene from MW...
You gave a quiet and painless death for a long and painful death.
It's so damn hot.
It's getting harder to keep my eyes open, though why am I keeping them open?
Even if I was rescued it would be hell, my body is already damaged beyond repair from the fallout...
Fuck so this is what Radiation poison feels like?
Though it would differ, to be honest.
This life had its moments but it was mostly shit.
I guess this had to happen with the stupidity in my life from the dumbest things going on.
Still don't want my last moments to bethink about what made humans so dumb.
It does break my heart that I would never get to experience not play any new video games I was looking forward to liking if sony would ever do a new sly cooper or if Microsoft would make a new fallout...
Heh funny I'm thinking about fallout when I'm experiencing one right now basically.
That aside the one thing that makes me really heart heavy is not being to meet my discord buddies in real life or be able to my dad one last time.
It was a good run, to say the least...
Oh no...
There's the organ failure, the doctor was right it's always the kidneys that come first...
Why is it always the kidneys?
I don't care anymore really.
Just hope there is a light followed by golden gates.
I...
I think I'm ready for the long nap now.
One life to another more painful life...
"BORED!"
...
The Stormbeast in the Fortress didn't move from their posts as the Stormking was of course 'Bored' it would be a long time for the right moment for him to finally take control of the world when the princesses were at one place. Sadly the next seven months were going to be hell if this was going to happen the entire time, sure he could oversee the preparation of the troops and equipment but he already did that like x1,000 times already.
He needs to do something.
Turning his head slightly he eyed Tempest shadow the commander of his army would be blanking forward, he had to admit for a pony she was fucking sexy. Years of self-training and survival since she was cast out from her home when she was a child had done her body well and unlike most- actually all ponies she doesn't shy away from eating meat that has given her a body that could rival one of the Wounderbolts. Her entire body was tough if not 'tougher' than nails as the word amazon wasn't even the right word for her, her entire form was completely balanced in all the right places.
Next to her breasts which were the right size not too big and not too small, along with those scars on her body that seemed to make her even more sexier. Her eyes were even gems in her eyes as the countless things she had to do to survive rested within them as they seemly could kill if she wanted it to happen. The Stormking wanted to tap that ass so fucking back but it would be 1,000,000x better when he had the power of the princesses and right when he refuses to give her horn would make the look on her face so much better when he would break her right then and there.
Turning forward he huffed.
But he had to wait...
Damn this was boring as all hell...
"My lord," A voice spoke as the Stormking was so Bored out of his mind that he didn't notice the mage before him.
"Yes, what is it?" He asked.
"Well while creating the spell orbs we may have accidentally added too much crystalized magic into one of the orbs and well..."
"What happened?"
"Actually sire it's what's 'happening'," The mage said.
The orb lab was currently filled with light as a vortex had opened from where the orb that went off causing the vortex to appear. Many of the mages were aback by what was happening and the storm beasts were shielding them with themselves as the doors open to the mage, Tempest, and the Stormking to see the vortex.
"WHAT IS THAT!" The Stormking demanded.
"It's most likely a portal or a vortex I'm surprised it's still active," The mage said as the Stormking looked back at it.
"Well close it!" The Stormking demanded.
"We don't know how the vortex could need a spell or an object is thrown into it or-"
Before the mage could finish the Stormking grabbed and then threw the mage into the portal as his screams echoed before fading within the vortex. The white vortex then flickered before turning green and then something was thrown from the vortex before it closed leaving the Stormking and Tempest looking down at their feet to see that something was someONE.
A being covered in a duster and some armored plates on the shoulders of the duster along with the arms, legs, and even the head had been covering in armor as well. Stormking blinked before tapping on the being with his staff this caused the being to gasp for air before shooting up as Tempest readied herself for a fight but the red eyes of the helmet that the being wore shot around the room clearly confused.
The storm beasts and mages were all just as surprised as the commander and king but the being didn't pull out a weapon as Tempest was holding on to her trusty dagger on her belt. Hearing the being breathe heavily from behind its strange helmet the faded green armor-wearing being looked at its hands as if seeing them for the first time before stumbling back into a chair. Still breathing heavily the being put an arm on one of the worktables as he looked right at the Stormking and Tempest Shadow as if he knew who they were.
"Fuck..." This caught Tempest by surprise by the alien-like being able to speak in Equestrian. "Shit, why do I feel like I need a smoke? I never smoke in my... wait... have I? Whatever I need one,"
As if by magic a green flash appeared around his right hand on the table as a cigarette pack appeared as the being used its thumb to push the top off as he reached to his helmet with a shaking hand. All watched as they heard the being breathe as the being slowly removed his helmet as he then placed it onto his lap as they all went wide-eyed seeing the being. Pulling a cigarette from the box he put it into his mouth as another green light appeared on his left, a small old fashion lighter covered in dried blood as the being used his thumb to light it before bringing the flame to his cigarette. Sending the lighter away back in the green light with the box the being inhaled before grabbing the cigarette and pulling it from his mouth as he exhaled a puff of smoke from his nose.
"You have no idea how it feels to have synthetic lungs and that go through you," The being said as he brought the cigarette back to his mouth.
All seemed to lighten up at this being but kept their guard because of what kind of aura this being was giving off a 'don't-fuck-with-me-or-I-fucking-kill-you' kinda vibe. They then watched as the being Placed a hand to his face he sighed.
"Though I had to say this wasn't what I was expecting... guess it's one of those things that you never get an answer from," As his almost robotic-like eyes in his skull moved to his hand looking at his clawed fingertips. "Have to say this looks a lot better than before,"
No one spoke until Tempest straightened up from her stance.
"What does?"
The being chuckled slightly.
"You wouldn't understand it... it's a 'you had to be there' kind of thing to understand," The being said as he looked at the helmet it was slightly different from how he remembered it but his armor had to go with his new body after all.
Tempest looked at him.
"Who are you?" She demanded.
"That's a hard question... I mean sure I can give you one of my names I have been given but the name my mom and dad gave me is kinda hard to remember," He said as he took another huff.
Tempest raised her brow as she spoke.
"Why is that," She watched as the being put two fingers against his skull and then clicked his tongue as his hand moved up kinda like a gun being fired.
Everyone in the room went wide-eyed, then the Stormking laughed.
"That's not possible," The Stormking said crossing his arms.
They watched as the being reached into his armored neck collar that held the number 101 before pulling out a pair of dog tags that also held what seemed to be a bullet wrapped in wire.
"This was in my skull before the doc could dig it out," The being said as everyone saw the bloodstain bullet. "I was just lucky it was a full metal jacket and wasn't a fucking hollow point,"
Everyone in the room didn't know what to say about this but everyone saw him rub his forehead as if he was rubbing an old scar.
"Not the first time my brain was fucked up... got to say my brain isn't all there anymore after that dick cut my brain," He said.
"Wait what does that mean?" A mage asked.
"What do you think? A fucker decided to trick me and when I was passed out he decided to open up my skull like a nut and cut into my brain for his damn collection," The being told the mage as he tapped the ash off his cigarette. "Then again I'm not fully me anymore I'm more synthetic stuff, metal, and plastic along with my DNA fucked all over the place,"
All just stared at him somehow knowing deep down he was telling the truth.
Watching the being as his eyes of a predator were relaxed as if he didn't seem the as a real threat.
"You wanted to know my name?" He asked.
"Y-yes," For the first time in many years Tempest's voice cracked.
"Courier six but six for short or call me what you like as long as it doesn't piss me off," He said as he slightly chuckled to himself before whispering. "Damn Cass's nickname for me was pretty fucking funny,"
The Stormking then burst out laughing.
"YOU'RE A MAILMAN?! HOW IS THAT-? WHY IS THAT-! GOOD GODS A MAILMAN! WHY WOULD I BE AFRAID OF A MAILMAN!?" The Stormking said as Six had his eyes closes as he used one of the orb parts as an ashtray.
"Because I'm the guy who gets a message across," He then pulled out another one and lit it.
"Ohhhhhhh I'll take a letter from this guy's mommy and think being a courier is a cool name ohhhhhh!" The Stormking mocked as Tempest held a serious look on her face. "Come on Tempest that a good one,"
"Um... sire... I don't think it's that kind of message he was talking about," She said as the Stormking kept laughing.
"Oh yeah? Then what kind of message was he talking about?" The Stormking said whipping a tear from his eye.
"I think you know my lord," Tempest said as the Stormking laughed for a few moments before looking at the being who was looking at the device on his arm.
"I-I-I honestly don't know what you are... talking... about," Then it hit him like a train.
He wasn't hiding his skeletons.
He then stopped laughing and smiling altogether as he placed his other hand on his staff.
"W-who sent you," The Stormking asked slightly worried now.
"Nobody... This is an accident that just happened... Though I think this time I can't return home but then again... who would want to go back?" The courier said as he tapped the ash off. "I mean when everyone that you thought was your friend wants you dead why would you,"
Tempest froze up slightly at this before the Stormking placed a finger on his chest plate pulling on it like a tie as if he was about to go into a meeting with a company CEO.
"Uh... hahaha... So then 'Six' was it I can see you a man of many talents and like any good king I know an ally when I see one," The Stormking said putting his best smile on his face, knowing if he didn't get this guy on his team than it would be the ponies that would have them on there and his plans for world conquest would be ruined.
Six looked up as he begins lighting up his third hand covering the lighter as his eyes seemed to be on fire for a moment before relaxing his arms.
"Yeah?"
"Well, are you... say for hire?" The Stormking said as the courier spoke.
"I am," The Stormking felt like a light load was lifted off of him. "But,"
They all looked at him as he held up a clawed hand with three fingers up.
"I ask of three things,"
The weight was back on.
"Fresh clean water," A finger went down.
"Nice warm food," Another down.
"And a comfortable bed," Then the weight and more disappeared.
The Stormking smiled as he nodded.
"Those are very fair ideas I can provide for you Six," The courier nodded.
"I'm a simple man making his way through the world," Six told the king. "The basics things in life are all I really need,"
The Stormking smiled knowing with this new player on his team the plans he has are going to go by smoother and easier than before.
(Later)
Tempest escorted the courier that was walking behind her as he had his helmet back on and the two of them didn't speak a word as she brought him to the new room that the storm king had readied for him as soon as possible. The courier and Tempest before the room was ready just sat in silence in the lab as the maids cleaned the room from the vortex and ass he did were sit there thinking while smoking as she watched his hand on her dagger as if could do anything to him. Even now she felt in a bad spot with her back to the courier and he could attack her now and she wouldn't notice it before it was too late.
Though if he wanted her dead he would have done it while they went up the stair where there weren't any guards around, whoever this guy was behind her was dangerous but not insane as she thought he was a first...
Maybe he was, to be honest like how to claim he was taking in his surroundings and casually having a smoke in a room filled with unknown beings that easily outnumbered him. He had must have been deeply scared or seen many people die for just him being a blank being that seemly didn't care if he died by some unknown threat. That or he didn't even bother with the unknown surrounding as if he had been in the same spot many times before and seeing the metal fangs his mouth had something told her that his very bones were metal or something and trying to hurt him wouldn't be easy.
As they made it to his room she pushed the door open to a room very like her own, big and comfortable unlike the maids and the soldiers had. Six seemed to be an important player now and this guy just had to sit in front of the Stormking for him to recruit him for if he didn't then he would very much be a Foe that they couldn't beat. For the first time since Tempest knows the Stormking he made the smartest choice yet by far!
Taking off his helmet she looked at the back of his head seeing the fluff of the back making her wonder how he felt while wearing the helmet with his sharped head. As he walked over to the bed he sat down at the side as Tempest felt something...
It was hard but when she saw the courier like he was feeling something that she once felt...
The pain that she felt when her family sent her out into the harsh world that the entire world was blind to.
Betrayed...
Forgotten...
Abandoned...
She saw him look down at the helmet as she slowly closed the door before leaving him to his quiet pain.
That once bright-eyed Pup of Vault 101 was now in a room not knowing what he'll do next.
Author's Note
Can you guess what mod it is?
Well besides that! Here you guys go the replacement to 'just a messager' and if you new don't ask about because I had written if for the frontier and we all know how that turned out to be!
So I decided a different more well like mod amoung the community though I usually use lore friendly mods like 'weapons of fallout 1 and 2' and 'assualtrons', yes their is a mod for NV adding in the best girl bots in the wasteland ADA BEST GIRL IN FALLOUT 4 I dare you to try and change my mind! But those mods that I just like tale of two wastelands is good enough and this one that I have for this version of the courier in this story. Different but unique don't you agree.
Also for the intro... I hate to say it but North Korea is going to do it someday maybe not today or tomorrow or the next day but someday.
Finally I want to say that I kinda went to put a really cool scene from a TV show I've know for awhile now and it will come around just you want good RD did a really good speech to that daredevil wanna be (No not rainbow dash I'll leave it at that).
So I might need to do some editing later though midnight need sleep!
P.S. Agent orange will not happen in this story sorry! But their will be another along with some of my classic furry stuff but no one from my Just a message story will romanced with Six here.
Note: Its now 8:44 the next day when I wrote this so... yeah did my best.
After DC it was hard for me...
Everyone who once called you a hero now called you the Anti-Christ, Even three dogs the man I once thought who was a friend turned on me after he got 'reports' of Sarah's death and me being the one who did it all in an attempt to take the brotherhood for myself.
Those who I trusted hunted me like an animal.
Fawks the one I saved from a life of imprisonment, Butch sure we had our differences as kids but who didn't, and even Doctor Li someone I considered to be family.
The only ones that didn't turn on me were Dogmeat gave his life in protecting me from the execution squad that the brotherhood sent my way, I still carry his ashes with me. RL-3 set himself in a blaze of glory to kill the hellfire-wearing brotherhood kill team then and only then I learned something about trust.
If they fur or metal then you could trust them...
But seeing how I'll never have that bond with any other dog I went with the ladder.
Though it's not like I had any robot allies before, to say the least like Andy still you can't survive in the wasteland alone even if you are a cyborg mutant-like myself.
In my travels, I found a few robots in my path from one side of the country to the other... West Virginia was 'unique' to say the least. Besides it had this stuff called Ultracite which honestly is confusing so I avoided the stuff and the like but one of the robots there that wasn't as armed as a sentry bot but faster than a protectron was the Assaultron. They were deadly even with the hellfire power armor (3/New Vegas power armor) those things were bitches to kill but still, I met one at a lumber mill who was kind of its owner after the original resident died off who told me a few stories with the cost of a drink.
Apparently, I reminded her of someone that she knew but besides that, I took what I learned and the Assaultrons parts to do something with them I guess still had them on me for a while along with many other robot parts. Ran into a few tamed deathclaws too when I was there while looking for vault 79 to find these 'plans' turns out this kid's something-great grandfather got himself a deathclaw egg and raised it to be the first tamed deathclaw on the east coast. So I learned a few tips about taming deathclaws... It not like I was ever going to need those tips now...
Maybe I can grow a deathclaw I have a few eggs on me or maybe an assaultron ally?
Nah...
...
Going through other states till finally landing in NCR territory, walked down the road of the two legends before me but something felt familiar about walking down the paths of Vault city, Shady Sands, and New Reno. Got to meet some interesting folk there some power armor-wearing tribal ghoul who fought alongside the Chosen one who back when he was still human. Along with a few ghouls who were surprised when I told them I knew Harold though they laughed at me when I told them he back a fucking tree.
Though the one that surprised me the most was a talking death claw named Goris who like me was a seeker of knowledge...
I didn't remember all this when I meet Marcus man if I did maybe I would have kept my promise to Goris to tell any other allies of the chosen one he said hi. Also found this guy calling himself a storyteller, like Goris he seeker knowledge, and unlike the brotherhood, in the wasteland, he was willing to share it.
So a few hours and drinks later I learned a bit of the two living legends of the west.
Still a nice guy... nice enough to forgive me for attacking him thinking he was a brotherhood assassin sent to kill me.
Then I ran into hopeville...
The one-shot I had at a fresh start.
A place where I could one day live out the rest of my days, a fresh start that need to bury the past...
So I did...
Removing the pip-boy I had worn for nearly my entire life and hand so much information and equipment that groups would go to war over only for me to bury the thing in a box before pouring cement over it and building a house over it, never thinking I would use it again.
Though the caps I had left from DC went so far and I need a job.
What else did I pick that the job that would leave me nearly forgetting the many years of my life until I was called back to the divide after one package...
That one damn package, the one I was told it was a water chip for the people was a damn nuclear football!
I almost have to thank that bastard Benny for making me forget everything if it wasn't for the fact he put two in my damn brain.
But luckily for me.
A metal-covered skeleton, a Synth implant, and some animal DNA kept me alive.
After all, I did have some of my brains ripped out of my skull at a point lookout.
The west like DC changed me slowly over time.
But my visit to the big mountain took it all!
More advanced cybernetics than what the brotherhood in the east had and Genetic splicing turning me into what I am now.
A god damn animal...
Claws, Fangs, even fur...
When Ulysses saw me again he wasn't sure that the radiation was already starting to get to him.
Damn mod...
Still, the one I would soon call 'brother' would help me remember who I was before, and finally, I returned home and dug out my past to use it to help me finish off the Legion. I should have known though that these NCR bastards are no different than the east brotherhood for a second time another person I cared for forgave their life to protect me from those I wanted to help.
Melted that damn golden branch into a few golden bullets that I used to shot the damn president and general.
Then from there, I arrived here, though I still remember the nuclear fire that killed me before all there but these memories just felt.
Real.
Now I'm here serving this tyrant and lying to myself he won't betray me knowing all too well that he will, one I could 'maybe' trust was Tempest...
A strong 'maybe'.
She doesn't talk to me much but from what I've done I don't think she is brave enough.
I don't bite... much.
At least from I'm no longer human and that itself is a whole other can of worms if I was.
The storm king isn't too bright and seeing how there is a race similar to me then yeah I played him like a fool...
Natural 9 plus the bobblehead?
10 with a skill check of 100?
Heh...
Everything is at least 10+ with skills at 100+
Level 99.
Where's Ainz I want to see if we can have an arm wrestle to see who would win?
He'll give me a space marine I don't care if they are first born or not just give me one damn it.
Now then Tempest...
You are smarter than this, me you have been betrayed and you know damn well that surviving by yourself is the best way even if you must work for a bastard like the stormking from time to time. But damn it kid but as you said before 'open up your eyes' he's playing you like a violin!
Once he has what he wants he'll throw you aside like I have been so many FUCKING times.
DC.
The Pitt.
That alien mothership.
Point lookout.
Then to the Mojave.
The only way to survive in any world is again your words: 'is alone'.
Think Tempest think!
What will you have when he has what he wants?
Your horn?
Don't make me laugh girl.
You are a survivor, yes but you've yet to understand the true mean of survival.
Another number like myself did the same to someone who saved her but she knew not to take any chances.
Giving trust is stupid.
Don't trust anyone.
Solo made that point clear.
Even me.
Because when the chips are down, I'm going to have all the cards in my hand and just in case have an ace up myself because it pays to be prepared.
Sure it's not a robot army like I had in Vegas to overthrow the NCR all the way to shady sands and vault 13.
But a few brainwashing that I learned from a vault I visited in DC and implanting micro explosive in every soldier in the storm king's army under the gaze of a 'performance boaster'... well I wasn't lying fully it did improve somewhat the troops. If those all fail some 'ghosts' would help loyal, mindless, and immortal holograms that could be used in a tight spot when necessary can't let them get the drop on me.
My last line is something...
Nuclear.
Sure it sounds bad but a nuclear deterrent is not always a bad one, but no nuclear fallout this time more like a...
Blood red cloud that will remain for three hours can consume an area of effect of five miles.
My lungs can filter the cloud out if I don't have my mask on but only for a short amount of time, then again I can hold my breath for a while.
You're going to learn not to fuck with me stormking.
Sure James and mom aren't Russian, German, and Scottish (maybe) but even as my factory-made blood pumps through my veins and my DNA isn't 'stable' as the enclave would put it.
I'm from a state you don't fuck with either.
Have you ever heard the term 'don't mess with texas'?
And all animal-like myself?
Heh...
What's the saying?
Oh yeah.
"You in for a whole of pain,"
Even now as you send Tempest, Grubber, and I to this damn party to crash well sure you might have one of those stone magic orbs for me but magic is just science you don't understand and I've done plenty of reading mate.
A fucking lot of reading.

"Are you going to smoke or not?" Tempest asked to which the courier just looked at her as he played with Benny's lighter.
He silently stared at her with his bionic eyes before pulling out a New Reno cigarette from his pipboy's data storage and lighting it. At least these people from New Reno didn't take this drug from ghoul cow shit like that puck ass kid who thought he was all high and mighty before underestimating an addict who was going to withdraw and need a fix from him and making the mistake of saying 'no'.
Never did touch jet? Though he did try this one from DC that he helped made by finding some old-world kid's cereal.
But the DNA, Cybernetics, and being brain fucked barely got him high at all...
Just like Joshua Gram.
Actually more like the complete other than Gram, it's just he couldn't get high or addicted...
But the effects?
Were doubled.
As he lit the homegrown coyote tobacco that was a natural growing planet in the west was still a nice feeling though unlike him if you smoked the damn thing it could give you cancer.
Got to love the replacement lungs that those jar brains gave him.
...
As the ramp went down Grubber licked his paw and ran through his 'hair' before whispering: "Showtime," and going down the ramp.
Showtime indeed.
'Just another day at the office,'
Author's Note
Well this was... different.
Don't know what came over me when I did this but...
Yeah...
Kinda threw it a few quotes at the end there.
Can you guess where the last one was from?
Heh, yeah...
See you in the next one where havoc really starts.
The Wander only respected few on the road that he walked but that was before becoming the Courier where he began to respect even fewer people. Sure he had some shred of respect for those who walked beside him but the moment he did something for the greater good of the wasteland they turned on him.
He didn't give a second thought to put them down when they did.
Those that he truly respected were those who were like him.
Ulysses and Joshua gram those he called 'brother' both had been betrayed and cast aside by those they could trust still he little in this new world but Tempest. She was a victim of how ponies treated those who aren't considered normal or perfect enough to be in this little happy world that Equestria has built. He still has memories about his time on earth before coming here of words of wisdom even though most are spoken by fictional characters.
Still, a few words can do many things to changes one's mind, he stopped entire blood baths by saying a few words.
But no words were going to be said this day that would change the minds of these ponies.
Actions are just as good as words.
Six in inhaled the coyote cigarette as he stayed in the smoke in the airship his mask in his other hand as the Courier watched from the shadows.
"AND NOW TO DELIVER THE EVIL. EVIL MESSAGE. PUT YOUR HOOVES TOGETHER FOR COMMANDER TEMPEST!" Grubber shouted lower than need.
'Fucking loud mouth,'
Tempest then stepped out from the smoke as the courier flicked his cigarette aside.
"And lieutenant six," Grubber quickly spoke unlike he did with Tempest.
Six placed his mask on as the eyes glowed a deep red causing some of the ponies to not fully see the figure in the smoke.
"Tempest is it?" Celestia spoke as the two other princesses flew down from the sky. "How may we help you,"
The storm pony smiled at the comment.
"I'm so glad you ask how about we start with your complete and total surrender?" Tempest crossed her arms under her breasts causing the crowd to gasp.
Twilight then quietly walked up from behind her mentors and sister-in-law.
"This ought to be good," Six whispered while Tempest smiled at the comment.
"Hi there princess of friendship," Twilight began. "Not sure what's going on. But I know we can talk things out,"
Six couldn't help but make an auditable amused chuckle from behind his mask.
"Oh goody all four princesses," Began to climb down the ramp.
"All lined up for us," Six followed as some Pony got to fully see the mutant that cut the bear's throat.
"Listen up ladies we need your magic. Give it up nicely. Please. Or we make it difficult. For everyone,"
"Please do make it difficult," Six spoke as placed his hand on his holster.
"And why should we cower before you?" Luna asked. "There is two of you and hundreds of us,"
"Tempest allow me," Six then stepped forward.
All eyes were on the courier who had his armor repainted in the storm king's colors while his pauldron with painted with a red strip for Tempest's company.
"You know the saying about it's not the size of the dog that matters but the size in the fight of the dog?" Six asked as Luna narrowed he eyes. "That's not true it's always the size of the dog and to make sure your enemy has their attention away from the real attack,"
As he finished Airships filled the skies seemly coming out of thin air as the special upgrade they had been given by the courier and many others. Storm beast dropped from as did the many different races of soldiers that willing to join the storm king's cause after some help from Six.
Speaking of whom, in a flash of green light held an orb of some kind before throwing it into the air.
"Tempest," On cue Tempest lept into the air before kicking the ball at the princess which caused Cadance to rush forward with a shield thinking she could handle the attack.
Her efforts were greatly in vain.
Celestia turned to Luna and was about to ask her to go get help from some queen before Tempest shot forward throwing another orb out hitting the solar sister. Luna shocked by what happened shot into the air as Tempest was about to throw another orb but Courier six threw it forward hitting the lunar princess.
"And the overseer says I can't pitch for shit," Six popped his knuckles a smile on his face under his mask.
Twilight shot her magic to catch Luna allow her to be exposed for Tempest to attack her with one of the orbs but the element of loyalty true to her name grabbed her pulling her from danger. Tempest believed she got the element of magic but was shocked to see it was another random pony as the courier turned his head where he saw the elements running for their lives.
"There," Six ran forward with the storm guard till they corned the elements on the bridge where the events from the movie went unchanged as the magic reflective shield did its job knocking the ponies and dragon into the water.
...
'Damn it I knew this was coming and wanted to do transformers one-liner but I don't know which one to use. This is bad comedy or does anyone else want to fill their shoes?'
"Fuck," Six then turned to the guard. "Get the hound master,"
As ordered a few minutes later a griffin wearing a unique set of armor step forward holding three chains connected to a ring. Those chains were attached to the collars of three beasts that Six had decided to 'improve' on.
"You called for me sir?" The hound master spoke while Six knelt down to the 'hound' before him as unlike most the hounds didn't threaten to bite Six or harm him only began to wag their tails at the sight of the courier.
FEV and cyber implants go a long way with some thrown in genetic splicing making these three original 'german' shepherds.
They looked nothing compared to a usual FEV hound but looked different white fur instead of brown beside the internal cybernetics with sub-dermal armor and synthetic muscle fiber on the already FEV added muscle system. Took him a while to make these three but his work cut out in the end, Six was the true Alpha and an 'animal friend' but he made sure they couldn't be softened up by the element of kindness.
"Sir?"
"Is he feeding you three?" The middle hound licked his hand as he petted the one on the left while the right one whined. "Yeah, he is? Good,"
Petting the right one he then looked up.
"Go with a squad down the river and bring us Twilight if you are able to catch one of her friends but not her bring them to me alive what I'll do to them will bring her in," The Courier got up petting the middle on now. "But Twilight is your primary objective if not try getting the dragon boy she'll come to us faster if you catch him,"
"Yes sir,"
"You know the price of failure so get to it," Six demanded as the Hounds master knew what happened to his predecessor.
Let's just say the hounds went to be with full bellies that night, holding the crushed crown of twilight they snifted it before barking and were off as the hound master was pulled while the squad followed suit. Leaving the courier alone Six looked up to see the castle window with a bright blue light coming from inside, storm king must be wanting to know why Tempest did get all the princesses.
'Like that matters now'
Six watched as the ponies were thrown in chains the courier felt disgusted by slavery that was the whole reason why he killed Caeser and the entire force of legion in Vegas. Apart from his was disappointed to not have fired a single shot from Blackhawk that rested in the holster he was itching to shoot something. It would be soon since he knew about them leaving for the badlands to find the hippogriffs but first at that rusted city in the middle of the badlands that was nothing compared to Vegas back home.
Till then he needs to do something before Tempest goes out and finds out there is more than one way to skin a cat.
'Speaking of cats,'
Walking over the airship he had a pair of blueprints that he's been working on with a suit of power armor during the travels that lead him to Vegas. One set of armor stuck out to him, though why it had hell in its name was beyond him there was already a set that had the word in it but still this armor was interesting, to say the least.
Author's Note
Sorry for the short chapter its been fallout all day with me, while I revived my old Fanfiction account.
Hey don't get mad at me I haven't touched that account in two whole years I've been avoiding it for so damn long I nearly forgot I had one. Look I know I've nearly been posted a chapter everyday now but still I sometimes need a break from MLP and reader x stories.
Ironically its not Jack2the7ripper, that account I stupidly used my old school email and boom there it is now forever out of my reach since I can't delete it or anything. My fanfiction account is Jack7the7ripper go see it pretty weird story ideas I have there if you want to see them or no can force you but like Wattpad NO DISLIKE BUTTON!
HAHAHA!
So see you around and yeah.
Plans coming down soon.
Later mates see you scavys around. (Hint hint)
"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.
