The Next Morning
Six walked out into the street, he learned from Alice that the town was called Aurora.
Alice said she would take care of Ruby while he took a look around, maybe he could find a job somewhere.
Six saw a bar 'Huh, good place to start as any.'
He noticed a sign on the door that read 'NO FAUNUS ALLOWED' in big black letters. 'The h*ll's a faunus?' he wondered as he walked inside.
It was nice looking bar, small, but nice, there was only a few people inside, like five or six, the jukebox was playing some country song, the bartender was an older bald guy with a long black beard.
'Wait I don't have any money, I doubt they use bottle caps here, what about the legion money? That should be worth something.'
Six walked over to the bartender. "What do you need?" he asked in a gruff voice.
"Information" Six replied.
"You gotta buy somethin' to get that." he said.
"Alright, Whiskey, neat, will this work?" Six layed down a few Denarius.
The bartender picked one up and looked at it. "This real silver?" he asked
"Yep." Six replied
"Ok sure, that'll work." he said and poured the drink.
Six took his helmet off. "Thanks, now how about that info?"
"What do you want to know?"
"Anything important I should know about this area?"
"Well this is a small town, not a lot happens here, but I heard a group of bandits set up camp a few miles away, could be trouble."
About that time some guy walked into the bar, and this guy looked like the definition of a thug, an eye patch on his left eye, a bandana wrapped around his head, makeshift armor made of metal and leather, a few scars on his face, and a sword on his right hip. He walked over to the bar.
"Hey bartender get me a beer." he said.
"Money first." The bartender replied.
"How about on the house or me and my friends burn this town to the ground."
"So you're a bandit then?" Six asked.
"None of your d*mn business, who the h*ll are you?" he replied.
"Name's Six"
"That's the stupidest name I've ever heard."
"Oh yeah what's yours?
"None of your f*cking business"
"Well nice to meet you Mr. F*cking business, how's your day going?"
"Oh wow you're really funny aren't you?"
"I like to think so yes." Six said
"Well, funny guy, we'll see how funny you are when we burn this f*cking tow-" he didn't get to finish before Six slammed his head into the counter.
[Intimidating Presence] "Listen here you little s*it, if you bring your little group of p*ssies to this town, the last thing you see will be me ripping your own intestines out and strangling you with them, and don't worry, I'll stand on your right side so you can actually see it, so how about you leave this town with your tail between your legs and tell them to back off, got it?"
"Y-yes."
"Good, now run along will you." Six let him go and he took off out the door.
"You think that was a good idea, letting him go?" the bartender asked.
"Probably not, but I've dealt with their type before, they're pathetic."
"Well if they show up, you better keep your word."
"I will, thanks for the drink" Six said while walking out."
Alice's house
Six walked into Alice's place, she was feeding Ruby again. "Hey, how was your little walk?" she asked.
"Interesting." he replied.
"Did you do something?" she asked accusingly.
"What? No, I just had a nice drink and may or may not have p*ssed off a group of bandits."
"What!?"
"Umm yeah, but don't worry, it's fine."
"How is that f*cking fine!?" she asked.
"Hey language, there's a baby in the room." Six said.
"A baby that's gonna be dead when those bandits destroy the town!"
"I've fought worse then those losers."
"Hold the d*mn baby, I'm going to get my weapons ready" she said.
"You have weapons?"
Alice walked back in with a box, she opened it up and pulled out two one handed scythes with what looked like gun barrels on them.
"I call them the Grassblades, they're dual scythes that turn into shotguns (Think Reaper from Overwatch's shotguns)
"Interesting design, but you better stay and protect Ruby."
"Ok, you have a point, I'll stay here, you go fight." she said as she sat her weapons down and took Ruby back.
"I'm gonna go keep a look out for them." Six said.
"Good luck." Alice said.
"Thanks."
City Gate
Six stood there and waited, he hummed a song to himself.
Some black-haired guy with red eyes walked up to him.
"Hey I heard about the bandits, need some help?" he asked.
"I don't want to put anyone in danger." Six replied.
"Don't worry I can fight." said as he pulled out some kind of sword.
"Name's Qrow, Qrow Branwen." he said.
"Six." Six replied.
"That's a weird name."
"So I've been told."
'I might need something with a higher fire rate.' he thought as he materialized an assault carbine.
"How did you do that?" Qrow asked.
"Science, that's how." Six replied.
"That didn't really answer my question."
"Cool, I don't care." Six said.
"I like you." Qrow said.
5 Minutes Later
"This is soooo boring." Six said.
"You had to say it didn't you?" Qrow asked as he pointed to the large group of people coming out of the forest, there was at least thirty of them, the cyclops from the bar was in front.
"Ok yeah that one's on me." Six said.
'Of course the leader is up front, they always have to talk s*it, don't they?' Six thought.
"Wow, just two guys? This will be easy." cyclops said.
"Look buddy, just leave." Six said.
"No way, we're gonna kill you, then we're gonna kill every man, woman, and child in this town then burn it to the ground, we may have some fun with the women first though." him and his pals all laughed at that.
"Well now you're gonna have to crawl away." Six said.
"Yeah, you're gonna regret coming here." Qrow said.
"Enough of this s*it, time to d-" he never finished his sentence before he took a bullet to the face. But it didn't kill him. 'The f*ck? He should be dead!'
The bandits opened fire, Six dove to the ground, Qrow started deflecting them with his sword, Six opened fire with his assault carbine, it tore right through some of them, but others took more shots, the bullets seemed to stop against them 'What is going on?'
Qrow started to attack with his sword, which turned out to also be a gun, just like Alice's weapons, it sounded like a shotgun.
Six ran out of ammo, the leader, who managed to survive, charged at him with his sword, Six drew his katana and blocked the attack, they started to trade blows, each blocking the other's, but Six was stronger, and faster. 'Thank you cybernetics.'
Six broke cyclops' guard and chopped his head off in one swift movement.
"He killed Kenny, you Bastard!" one of the remaining six bandits yelled, they started to run into the forest, Six reloaded his carbine and started to shoot at them, he took most of them down but a few got away.
Qrow walked over to him. "You're pretty good." he said.
"Thanks, you too." Six said.
People started to walk out of their houses, some of them cheered when they saw the dead bandits, others just went back inside.
"Hey I have a question." Qrow said.
"Shoot." Six replied
"Have you seen a baby around here?" He asked.
"She wrapped in a red piece of fabric?" Six asked.
"You have?"
"Yeah, I found her in the forest and brought her here, a friend of mine is taking care of her."
"I need to see her." Qrow said "I'm her uncle."
"Alright, C'mon." Six lead him to Alice's house.
Alice's House
Six and Qrow walked into Alice's house.
"Six, you're okay!" Alice ran up and hugged him.
"Umm, yeah, I'm fine."
"Who's this?" she pointed at Qrow.
"This is Qrow, Ruby's uncle."
"Oh, I'll go get her."
"Thanks."
She walked back in with Ruby. "Here." she handed her to Six.
"How did you find her?" Qrow asked.
"I was walking in the forest and found her and her mother, her mom was barely alive but she told me Ruby's name and said to protect her." Six said.
Qrow looked like he was on the verge of tears, but he kept himself composed.
"I'm guessing you want to take her back?" Six asked.
"I want to, but I can't, it's too cold out there for her."
"So?" Six asked.
"You seem like a good guy, I want you to keep her for now, protect her, please." Qrow said.
"I will, I promise." Six said.
"If anything happens to her, I'll kill you."
"If that happens, I'll let you kill me." Six replied.
"I'll hold you to that." Qrow said, him and Six shook hands, then Qrow left.
"That went well." Alice said.
"Yeah."
"So I guess I'm going to be staying here for a while." Six said.
"Guess so." Alice said.
So I'm probably gonna do a timeskip next chapter, not sure how big of one though, and also since someone asked the main reason I made the story M is because of possible intense violence, I guess T would be fine but I'm lazy and it's not a big deal so whatever.
