Chapter 1: Another mess
Before I start this story I just want to say that I will be finishing A Different kind of Hero. This is just my take on the cliche fallout rwby crossover just with my own twist.I will try to keep away with the clichés but they may happen. Also this wont be updated as much as my other story so take it as it is. I don't expect much from this but I hope you still enjoy.
I was currently in a vertibird courtesy of the NCR. Earlier that day I received a note from one of my old pals Arcade, Apparently he and several other followers found a Pre-war facility that they wanted to check for possible supplies. Something went wrong however because only 1 member of the large 32 expedition came back and they were in critical condition.
I was informed of this by ambassador crocker one of the many in the NCR who still held respect for relationship with NCR was mixed at best because of the many actions that both helped and damaged the NCR. Still there were many who still hailed me as a hero and would help me Crocker being one of them.
Anyways after being informed of this situations I was prepared to run all the way to Arcade, Although many of my old followers went there separate ways after the second battle of hoover dam they were still my friends and I would do anything for them, And seeing the condition of the messenger I was unsure of how long it took them to get to me meaning Arcade could be In Critical condition.
But the distance to this facility was far and it would take me a while to get there even with my cybernetics on foot. Thankfully Crocker provided me a Vertibird and a crew to support me to help rescue Arcade, and it was people I personally knew and trained the old misfits gang though they weren't misfits anymore.
All of them became excellent soldiers and worked very well together. After the battle of hoover dam they all went there separate ways and excelled at their Fields.
Mags became a ranger and was soon promoted to Patrol ranger,O'Hanrahan became a excellent combat medic and support unit, Poindexter being the "Genius" and I say that word loosely became a engineer/pilot for the NCR, And Razz became one of the heavy troopers.
We just reached the facility and we got ready to go in, I pulled out Bozar my go to weapon of choice and get ready to go.
"Poindexter stay here and be ready to get us out Make sure to keep this place locked down." I don't wait for a reply and we all go in.
As We go in and have a look around the place was in surprisingly good condition. It had metal walls and secure metal doors that were all in white. We all walk in me taking the lead and look about.
"Alright everyone stay two people went missing here we need to know what we are up against." Razz scoffs at this.
"They didn't have something as badass as a mini gun on their side." he says showing off the weapon.
"I don't care. They may not have had a mini gun but they did have decent equipment, I have seen followers guards they are well equip. Stay close." Razz doesn't responds but stays close
We keep together when we come across a large corridor We enter and we immediately get fired upon, I quickly try to get behind cover in the many rooms in the hall as does everyone else.
"DAM IT RAZZ SUPPRESIVE FIRE" if I could see his face I bet he was smelling right now, he pulls the trigger and he sends fire to whatever is shooting at us I take a look and see that they are turrets About two of them. Razz is holding out fine but his armor wont last forever, I use bozar to try and get a cleans shot and shoot one of the turrets, It explodes and I take another shot at the second turret, But before I do Mags takes out a trail carbine and fires a shot at the turret destroying it, With them out of the way we get out of cover.
"Looks like they may have activated the places defenses. It could be what killed them." Razz says
"I don't believe so I know Arcade and I know he wouldn't be so sloppy like this, I think he may have activated to defend himself from whatever is here I refuse to believe he would die so easily." we all keep along our way hoping to find Arcade when we hear a Growl.
WITH ARCADE
I was in a monitor room looking over the area. This expedition was a mistake from the start When we got here the place was crawling with robots, We managed to hack them and see what this facility was for and found it was some top secret research facility. We went deeper into the facility when we came across a room.
It had what seemed to be a teleporter. We check the terminal to confirm this and it said that the people here worked on a project called GREEN HOUSE Apparently some scientist found some alternate dimension that had resources everywhere.
However apparently the place was crawling with black creatures that killed many who went through. Because of this the project was to be shut down but the scientist held a lot of sway in the government and kept it open.
He didn't have a lot of support and when the resource war came around it was producing no results so it was to finally be put down. Unfortunately the great war happened and the facility was never put down.
When we were investigating however we found that the portal was still being opened and the defenses here were to keep the creatures coming out inside the facility. Many of us were killed in the initial portal opening but I still managed to put the defenses back online. It wasn't enough however and now the creatures were slowing making it to me The other survivors of the group believed they needed to destroy the facility and went out to do that Sadly they never made it there.
The creatures just now got through another defense and were getting closer to my location.
"So this is the end. Funny I thought I would have been killed in some freak accident during my research, Guess my life was to exciting for that." I couldn't leave the facility because the robots would shoot me and I was hurt pretty bad by one of those dam creatures.
I had hope however when I saw on the monitors that six and several other NCR soldiers were coming in the facility. My heart was beating with anticipation I wanted to use the speaker system to tell them were I was but It was broken. All I could do is wait and hope they bet to me before those dam creatures did.
"Come on six." I said to myself but my thoughts were intruded however when I heard one of those things roar.
WITH SIX
We were fighting through more turrets when we heard a Roar. It wasn't like any creature I knew of and down the hall we saw what looked to be a Yao Guai charging in destroying the turrets that were previously shooting at us.
"WHAT HELL IS THAT" O'Hanrahan yells and shoots at the creature, after a few Rounds into the thing I died, it seems these things are not very strong, But my thoughts were intruded however when more of those things came charging down the hall.
We fought through at least 12 of those things when we saw them begin to evaporate.
"What is going on here what is that thing." mags asks kicking the disintegrating body.
"Looks like a Yao Guai" O'Hanrahan says
"Yao Guai's don't usually evaporate into thin air, Plus its to smooth looking to be one as well as bony." Mags responds
"Whatever it is its pretty easy to kill." Razz says reloading his massive gun.
"Guess we know what attacked the followers." Mags responds We were intruppted when we heard the sound of a plasma gun firing. Taking no time I rush to the source with the others behind me and we see arcade barely holding out next to one of those creatures he just killed.
"ARCADE! O'HANRAHAN HELP HIM" he goes and gets out a doctors back and some stimpacks.
"Six good to see you." Arcade says weakly
"Your going to be alright we are getting you out of here." I say ready to leave before he stops me.
"NO. We need to destroy this facility those things if they get out could kill us all." Arcade says
"They were pretty easy to kill to me." Razz responds
"Those were the weakest ones there are stronger ones. They come from a different dimension and if they were all to come here it could get many people killed."
"Different dimension? Those don't exist he may be delusional." Mags says
"Believe me or no this facility still needs to be destroyed. six please." He begs me
I sigh "Alright ill do it Razz O'Hanrahan stay here and take care of Arcade Me and mags are going to deal with these things." I say
"WHAT NO!" Razz yells in protest
"Yes you are staying here. Razz your the only other one here with enough fire power to defend them, O'Hanrahan needs to stay here to keep Arcade alive you need to cover them until we get back." Razz was going to protest but says silent.
"Alright mags lets go" we say as we leave to go deeper into the facility.
After fighting more of those creatures and robots we reach the portal room. Apparently the portal opens up every few minutes and spill out those creatures. I go into the room and set explosives next to the portal while mags stays in the overlook the room to keep watch.
As I was doing this however I heard the door lock and I turn around to see mags fighting someone.
"MAGS!" I yell and rush to the door to see if I could get it open but to no avail.
Mags meanwhile is struggling with the man. They are both fighting over her 44. magnum she got out As they were doing this however we hear a explosion which causes the man to pause for a moment and mags takes this chance to shoot him in the head.
Anther person appears to get mags but she shoots him in the chest several times, But then another person appears and she is shot multiple times with a laser rifle she falls onto the console and it activates the portal.
"NO" I yell but it is to late every thing goes white.
WITH THE INTRUDERS.
"Alpha team what the fuck was that" I receive no response
"ALPHA TEAM RESPOND" this time I get something
"Sir this Is Delta Alpha is dead, Apparently the person near the virtebird saw them and when alpha team came to kill him he exploded the virtebird killing him and the team."
"Fucking hell alright salvage what you can and get in the facility. Bravo, charlie your status."
"Sir this is the leader of team charlie all my other men are dead, The heavy heard the explosion and saw us He open fired and killed all of team Bravo and one of my men and heavily injured the other two in my squad before we put him down. The medic tried to leave and he killed the two injured ones before I killed him." he says
"What about the injured one?" I ask
"Dont know sir he got away somehow." This frustrates me to no end
"FIND HIM" I yell
"Sir even if he gets past us he is heavily injured he wont make it out there."
"I DON'T CARE FIND HIM" I cut the comm
"How is the portal doing" I say to the only surviving member of my squad.
"I removed the explosives, How is it that some of our men were killed by some misfits." she asks irritated
"They were trained by the courier but I didn't expect this. What about six?" I ask her
"From what I can tell he went to the portal Looks like plan B is going in effect." I sigh to myself at this.
"Alright help find that follower survivor and make sure to keep this place locked down. We have to wait for reinforcements to arrive." she gives me a salute and moves away.
I look over the portal. "We will find you six I promise you that." I turn and leave
WITH SIX
I wake up to see a bunch of ruined buildings but I couldn't care less as I try to use my transponder to get back
"Come on come on" sadly it isn't working
"FUCK" I yell and punch a near building and it completely collapses.
I sit on some rubble and think of whats going on and what to do Until I hear growling. Those damn creatures its their fault if it were not for them Arcade wouldn't be hurt and the misfits wouldn't be dead.
I pull out Bozar and spend a few hours making them pay.
After the creatures stop coming I was sitting on the rubble again. I looked around were the hell was I, it must have been some city that was destroyed during the war but as I was thinking this someone spoke to me.
"You OK there buddy." I look up to see some guy with a giant ass sword most likely the size of the blade of the east on his back, he had a suit on that made him look Kinda like a teacher and for some strange reason he was wearing a Cape.
"Do I look OK?" I say aggressively while it is nice to know I'm some wear with people I didn't want anyone near me right now
"No need to be so hostile just want to know why you are out here all on your own Not a lot of people come out here especially with all the Grimm around." he says
"Look sir I'm not in the mood for this shit So why don't you take your dunk ass and go FUCK YOURSELF" I say wanting him to leave.
"Look buddy I'm going to be honest with you There was a strange anomaly here and you are right in the middle of it. Your going to have to come with me." he says a bit aggressively while reaching for his weapon.
I however am not going to play his game. "How about no" I respond as I pull out sweet revenge and shoot at him.
Surprisingly he pulls out his Giant sword with ease and blocks all the shots but with some difficulty because of how fast I could shoot. He comes at me and I move out of the way with the jet pack and rocket boots I had the brains make for me but only barely because for whatever reason this guy was FUCKING FAST!
I decided to beat him at his own game and pull out the blade of the east I modified it so it had a straighter blade as well as a more fitting handle for myself.
I dash to strike him and he blocks, I try to hit him but he is moving way to fast for me to get any effective strike on him, and from the look on his face he isn't even taking this seriously at all because he has this dumb fucking smirk on his face , this pisses me off as I hit him with all my strength it pushes him back a bit due to him being caught off Guard at the sudden leap of strength. I keep him locked with my blade but he does something completely unexpected as his sword actually shoots me. Apparently he has a gun sword but I ignore this for now as I block his strikes with difficulty because I was mostly used to gunfights. But I did have experience with sword fights thanks to my time against the legion and other enemies who like using swords, and because of my ungodly ego.
I decide to use vats and aim for his legs. He may be fast but thanks to vats he is as slow as a snail, I was just barly able to swipe his feet and trip him, I then kick him sending him flying to a building. Our commotion must have made some of those creatures come as I see several of them come running to us.
The man quickly begins dispatching the creatures as they came for him first and while he is distracted I take this time to pull out Elijah's Tesla Cannon and I shoot him while he was distracted by the creatures it hits him dead center, He gets a red electric shock around him and looks at me with complete surprise on his face.
"what the hell was that? You took out my aura in one shot, alright guess playtime is over." he then does something else I did not expect, he actually turns his sword into a giant fucking scythe. He kills some more creatures before heading to me with unimaginable speed so fast in fact that I didn't even see him as he came up to my face and slashes me with his giant scythe He hits me and it cuts right through my armor which is surprising since it is elite riot gear.
"FUCKER" I yell as I jump back and just barely block a few of his strikes while the rest connect. I decided to end this now and as I pull out my X01 power armor, yet again he is surprised but instead of sitting in shock he just slashes at my right arm and His scythe cuts through a little until it gets stuck in my armor and I take this time to use vats to quickly grab him by the head and slam him into the ground and then throw him into another building.
I walk over to see him battered and beaten and knocked out, I get out of my power armor and wince as I do. Bastard really did a number on me, my chest and arms are broken, he destroyed my Elite riot gear in one swipe and even majorly damaged my X01 power armors right arm which was highly modified with just one hit, the fucker also moved at a amazing pace. The only reason I even won was because of my surprising arsenal which he did not expect and I doubt I could beat him. I was about to leave him to be eaten but I see something next to him that catches my eye.
Its a picture of some people I think this must be his friends, having a bit of guilt well up in me after having my friends killed I decide not to let him get eaten by those creatures and put him in a secure safe location
"This may bite me in the ass later but I guess I will let this be my good deed for the day."
After that I leave to find civilization. After a bit of walking I stumble upon were this guy must have came from. A very large walled city and after sneaking in with a stealth boy I wonder around looking at the sights.
This place is beautiful I wonder for hours until I stumble upon a store.
"Dust till Dawn I wonder if they have a map." I wonder in and see a old man as the shopkeeper.
"Have any maps?" I ask he points to the back of the store and I see a girl in red hood.
Weird clothing but none of my business as I look at a map I hear more people come into the store.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a dust shop this late" I hear a guy say as I look over to see some guy in a white trench coat with a cane, as he says this one of the men with him points a gun at the shop-keep this guy reminds me way to much of benny and I hate that fucker, kinda why I killed him.
"Please just take my lien and leave." the old man says frightened
"Calm down we are not here for your money" he turns to his men
"Grab the dust." his men begin to grab the items in the store one of the men sees the girl in red but doesn't see me. He goes to try and get the girl to put her hands up when the unexpected happens She sends the guy flying.
Another grunt comes to attack the girl and she throws him out the window and she jumps out and pulls out a scythe. This makes me think of the man I fought earlier and I hope she doesn't know him.
Anyways the man In the white trechcoat tells the others to get her and she completely demolishes them.
While the guy in white is distracted I try to subdue him. Obviously I underestimated his skill and he moves out of the way of me and jumps back.
"Not so fast Mr." as he says this one of the grunts fall to him.
"you were worth every cent truly you were. Well red and green I can say it has been and eventful evening but as much as I would love to stick around I'm afraid this is wear we must part ways." he aims his cane at us and fires some kind of explosive we both move out of the way and he manages to get to a ladder leading to the roof. Its I official I hate this guy, reminds me to much of benny.
I chace after him by using my jet-pack and rocket boots and surprisingly the girl before literally jumps to the top.
Anyways the man stops "Persistent" he says as a virtebird like vehicle and climbs in.
"END OF THE LINE RED AND GREEN" he says as he throws something at us and shoots at it with his cane but before it hits us some other woman blocks the hit and what happens next Is something straight out of a grognak the barbarian comic as she and some other chick in a red dress whos face I couldn't see start having some magic fight or something.
I'm just sitting there baffled at the battle until the people mange to escape.
My trance was intruded however when the girl in red from before says something.
"Your a huntress. Can I have your autograph." She asks with amazement in her eyes. I would face palm if I wasn't wearing my armor
LATER
We were led to a interrogation room and the woman from the roof left us for a moment and the girl decided to speak to me.
"I never got to say but thanks for helping me back there. Are you a huntsman?" she asks
"No I'm not just a concern citizen who didn't want some criminal robbing some old man."
"really? Were did you get your armor its SOOO cool I never saw something like that." she says with great enthusiasm.
"Um before I answer whats your name." I ask her
"OH sorry my names ruby whats yours?" she asks
"Names six and that's a interesting weapon you got there scythe gun interesting choice." I say and what ensues Is a very quick rambling about her weapon I couldn't understand.
Thankfully I was saved by the woman from before walking in.
"what you two did was very irresponsible. You put yourself and other peoples lives at risk." she says walking around
"They started it." she says
"This isn't my first rodeo lady I know how to handle crooks." she glares at me but I could care less. She has a cold stare but compared to some of the people I have seen it is nothing.
"IF it were up to me I would have you both sent home with a pat on the back. And a slap on the wrist" as she says this she slams her wand down. Its scares ruby but doesn't startle me.
"But there is someone here who would like to meet you." as she says this a older looking man comes in holding. Cookies?
"Ruby rose. You have silver eyes" he says as he leans in to look at them causing the girl to be a bit uncomfortable.
"So wear did you lean to fight like that ?" he asks
"Signal academy." she responds. This is interesting there is a entire school here that teaches people to fight like her amazing she could give veteran rangers a run for their money.
"They taught you how to wield one of the most dangerous weapons ever created?" he asks now I wouldn't go that far a scythe can be a deadly weapon but the most deadly I wouldn't think so.
"One teacher in particular." as she says this he puts down the cookies and she slowly takes one and eats it. And then she begins devouring them.
"Its just I have only seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before a dusty old crow." he says.
"HMM that's my uncle" she says with her mouth full. This revelation makes me think she does have a connection to that man I fought and I should probably avoid her. If she found out I hurt her uncle she wont be very happy. While not scared of her I don't really want to hurt a her.
She swallows her food and finishes talking
"Sorry. That's my uncle Qrow he taught me everything I know. I was complete garbage before he taught me and now I'm all like"and she proceeds to act out fighting moves. Again I would face palm but helmet
"so I have seen. And what is a adorable girl like yourself doing at a school for warriors?" he asks
"well I want to be a huntress." she says
"You want to slay monsters?"
"yea I only have two more years left of training at signal and I will apply for beacon. See my sister starting there this year and she is trying to become a huntress and I am as well to help people." and she then starts to gush at the prospect of becoming a huntress
From what I can tell huntsman and huntresses are probably like the rangers but it seems children can spend their whole lives becoming it. Interesting.
"Do you know who I am?" the man asks.
"Your professor ozpin the headmaster at beacon." this revelation shocks me. This man must be very powerful. Politically and physically.
"so you want to come to my school" he asks
"More than anything" she says
"well alright he says." she looks very excited and screams in victory. Them the man turns to me.
"Now on to you who are you sir." he asks
"Names six pleasure." I say.
"Interesting name"
"I'm a interesting person." I respond
"I can tell. Tell me were did you learn to fight." he asks
"Me I learned by trial and error." I say
"self taught interesting" he says, I noticed something however after I said this. I never fought back there how so does he know I even fight at all?
"Tell me how old are you?" strange question
"im only 19 sir." I say. Yes the great courier six is only 19 years old Back when I got caught up in Vegas I was only 16 and because of how young I am most people especially in the NCR brass don't respect me. They think just because I'm young I don't know what I am doing
Not only that but one of the things that would always cause me to go into a fit of rage is if someone called me kid. I may be young but I can kick anyone's ass I survived the sierra madre the hell that it was, Walked the ruins of the divide, and now rule over big mountain. I fought legendary creatures, been a bad ass bounty hunter killing the likes of the judge, sirgeo,and red bear. Met legends like House, the burned man, Ulysses, and Ceasar. Destroyed the legion by killing Caesar, Fought and defeated lanius and killed the mother fucking man In black himself Marko.
And people Still have the AUDACITY to call me a FUCKING KID. Yea I'm going to get a little mad.
Anyways I got off track after I said this the man spoke.
"Interesting. Well Ill ask you the same question would you like to come to my school?"
I answer almost instantly.
"No" Everyone in the room bedsides ozpin is in shock especially Ruby
"WHAT! Why wouldn't you want to be a huntsman. Huntsman are so cool and awesome and save the world making it a better place. WHY!" ruby says in disbelief.
"Look he asked and I answered I don't really want to say why." I say with a ping of guilt due to the look of sadness she had.
"Alright well there are still things I want to discuss with you, Ruby you are free to go." Ruby just looks at ozpin and says OK but as she leaves however she turns to me.
"I don't know why you don't want to be a huntsman but I can tell you could be a great one." She then turns and leaves and I sigh to myself, she's a good girl.
"What else do you want." I ask ozpin
"Well I think we both know why. I just want to know why did you save Qrow?" he says to me.
"So you know about that." I say with another sigh
"Yes and I would very much like to know if you attacked him why save him?"
"well sir I was going to just leave him there to be eaten when I saw a picture in his pocket. A picture of what I assumed was his friends and at the time I had just lost some of my own friends and I only really attacked him because of it. But seeing that picture made me feel guilty So not wanting to let someone else loose a friend I made sure he was in a safe location. And after hearing he had a niece I am more glad I did." I respond with a bit of pride due to the fact I didn't leave a little girl without their uncle, to many Orphans in the wasteland and I didn't want to be responsible for anymore of them.
"Interesting. Well for what it is worth I am sorry, Still the fact remains you still attacked one of my people and a huntsman. You have extraordinary skills and I cant just have you running around so you have two options." he says to me with a stern look
"One you could go to jail for a very long time for attacking a huntsman or. Come to my school" I look at him disbelief.
"I already told you I don't want to go to your school. I already know how to fight." I say to him with slight anger.
"I can tell but your judgment still needs work. You can choose not to go but you have to pay for your crimes one way or another. So what is it." he says taking a sip of his coffee
Thinking I don't have the time to wast in a damn cell I decided I didn't have much choice, but if I am going to go might as well see if I could sweeten the deal.
"Alright Ozpin Ill go but under three conditions. One I don't want to wear any uniform. Two I don't work with anyone in a team and three I need a list of these materials." I say as I bring out the materials I need to fix up my transponder.
"these seem acceptable welcome to beacon six. Your free to go." I walk out and sigh to myself.
"What the hell did I get myself in." little did I know a hell of a lot more than I thought
WITH OZPIN
"why did you want him to come" Glynda says giving me her glare
"he is not a bad person and what I can tell at the time he only attacked Qrow because he lost someone recently and just lashed out at him out of poor judgment. Besides he could use some proper direction." I say taking a sip of Coffee
"But you saw how he fought Qrow he is dangerous. And you want him near the others?" she says not convinced.
"making him go to beacon makes it easier to keep a eye on him. Besides he was near the anomaly that Qrow saw And could help us find out what it was and how he is connected to it Plus He is still a child after all and can still be molded into a huntsman, he just needs some help."
Glynda sighs "I trust you ozpin. Lets go we still have a school to run" as she and I begin to walk out.
"Indeed"
That is the first chapter of the story. I hope you like how the courier doesn't actually want to be there. I always saw that as weird. The courier has other responsibilities and would most likely want to get home not worry about being a hero. And besides I never saw the courier as a hero in the world of fallout there are only shades of gray No black or white. there are no heroes in the wasteland only people trying to survive and live. I always hated those stories of the perfect courier hero "Cough ranger of remnant COUGH". Anyways would like to see feed back good or bad always welcome
