Six sat in the Musutafa P.D. Briefing room along with many Pro Heroes and standard Police personal wearing Special Assault Team (SAT) gear. She mindlessly polished her Hecate II Anti-Material Rifle with a small square of cloth that was soaked in a Cleaning, Lubricating, & Protecting (CLP) liquid that she asked for, her helmet lying beside her on the table. They were currently waiting for the Police Chief to come in and give them their assignments. Six glanced up from her rifle, 'Speak of the devil.' Six thought to herself as the Police Chief came out and went up to the podium in the center of the room.
"Alright people, listen up. Our objective is in the Kamino Ward, we have two leads so far, so you will be split up into two teams. The first lead will take the most of our manpower, it is a bar where we believe the student known as Bakugo Katsuki is being held. The second is where the GPS locator that one of the other students at the Pussy Cat's Training Camp managed to plant on a Nomu. Team Alpha will consist of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Special Unit, plus 5 squads of our standard Officers in Riot Gear, and Pro Heroes: All Might, Endeavor, Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, and Gran Torino; they will go after our first Objective at the Bar. Team Bravo will consist of 3 squads of standard Officers in Riot Gear and Pro Heroes: Mountain Lady, Best Jeanist, Gang Orca, and Tiger; with assistance from Courier Six, who has been given a temporary Provisional License for this operation." At the mention of her name, she gave a small, two fingered, wave. "Now, any questions? No? then you are dismissed, Team Alpha will go to Garage 1, and Team Bravo will go to Garage 2." All the others stood up and filed out the room, Six slung her large rifle over her shoulder and followed Best Jeanist and the rest of the heroes, silent all the way. She clambered into one of the Armored Cars that was designated for Team Bravo and got into a comfortable position that would allow her to try and catch up on some sleep enroute to the Kamino District, and slowly dozed off.
Six bolted up from her slumber, only to hit her head on the ceiling and yell out "Ah, Mother Fucker!" causing the person who woke her up, one Mountain Lady, to recoil in surprise. "God damn it." Six growled out as she rubbed her head, which she had neglected to protect with her helmet before dozing off.
"Sorry about that, just thought that I should wake you since we're about 10 minutes out." Mountain Lady said awkwardly, her eyes nervously flicking between Six's grimacing face and her Ranger Sequoia.
"You're fine, just not used to being in moving confined spaces." Six muttered, causing the woman next to her to relax somewhat.
"So, where did they pick you up from?" Mountain Lady asked, causing six to raise an eyebrow. "I mean, they don't normally give someone a provisional license just to partake in a raid."
"I gained the attention of some powerful people apparently, and now they want me to help out, didn't really know what was going on besides from being told to go to the Police Station." Six answered, trying to avoid disclosing what she actually did.
"Oh, what did you do to gain their attention? And why do you have all those guns?" Mountain Lady asked, continuing her impromptu interrogation, causing Six to sigh.
"The only thing you need to know is that I'll have your back, this isn't my first time providing overwatch for an op." Six told her coldly, trying to stop the conversation there. She apparently succeeded as the woman shut humphed and turned away from her, arms crossed. Six ignored her and picked up her helmet from the van's floor and secured it to her head.
"You certainly have quite the intimidating outfit." A new voice in the car chimed in, Six turned her head to the speaker, Best Jeanist, who calmly looked at her, unfazed by her cold deflection of his fellow hero.
"Yeah, I guess I do." Six replied with a smirk.
"You make it yourself?" He asked.
"Nah, I got it from someone who didn't need it anymore." She replied honestly.
"Does it have any features other than looking scary?" He quipped, a small smile on his face.
"Eh, a few. Night vison, a short-range radio, and built in knuckle-dusters being the most prominent, it also is quite resilient to pistol caliber ballistics."
"Oh? What's it made of?"
"Duster and jeans are made of Ballistic Fiber, the chest piece is Kevlar, and the helmet and gas mask are just plain stainless steel."
"Intriguing, Ballistic Fiber you say? How did you get that?"
"Eh, found instructions on how to make it, and then I did. It doesn't do much against anything more powerful than a .45, but it's pretty good against sharp objects." Six replied, she was much more comfortable talking about things more impersonal, like her clothing, than answering the blonde's questions. Best Jeanist opened his mouth to continue talking, but he was interrupted by the van stopping.
"Alright people, we're here, load out." The driver called back to them, causing them to pile out of the van. When they were out in the street, an officer, one of the Commanders most likely, walked up to them and handed them small earpieces.
"These are voice activated, short range radio transponders, they're currently keyed into our frequency so we can communicate." The Commander stated as each of the heroes took an earpiece.
"Alright, I'm going to find a roof to provide overwatch from," Courier Six started, before turning to the Commander. "You want me to shoot to kill, or shoot to maim?"
"If it devolves into a shootout, you can shoot to kill for the Nomus, but we'll want to keep the villains alive for questioning and trial." He replied, which earned him a nod from the Waster.
"Affirmative, good luck on your end, I'll be sure nobody sneaks up on you." Six said before turning around and sprinting away to find a suitable roof to perch on.
Six managed to get up onto a roof rapidly, thanks to a useful fire escape ladder. She opted out of turning on her night vision, mostly because if she did, she would have been blinded by all the lights that lined the streets and buildings, plus those large neon billboards that seemed to be everywhere. She slowly crawled along her stomach, as to not provide a convenient silhouette for any rookie guard to see. Once she got to the ledge that overlooked the area immediately in front of the target building, she spoke up into her mic.
"Six here, I'm in position." Six pulled up her Anti-Materiel rifle and aimed down the scope, scanning the roof and windows. "I'm not seeing any movement, but the building appears to be pitch black from here, so there could be something in there. I'd advise caution, over."
"Affirmative Six, we'll stick to the book." The Police Commander replied. "Just be sure not to shoot anyone who doesn't attack us first, over."
Six rolled her eyes at the request, but it was their operation, so she had to follow their rules. "Affirmative Command, Six out." Six answered before continuing her sweep of the place, she briefly thought that she saw movement in the alley to the left of the building, but she swiftly dismissed it. 'Nobody would be in an alley as tight as that.' She thought to herself as she shifted her sweep from the building to the streets and alleys next to the advancing officers and heroes, who were making swift progress towards the objective. They had to park their Armored Trucks about 5 or so blocks from the actual objective due to them wanting to keep the element of surprise.
The police finally arrived outside the building and quietly set up a perimeter, impressing Six with their speed and efficiency. She heard a chorus of voices reporting in that they were in position. She then heard the voice of the Police Commander once more, "Alright, everyone is in position, Mountain Lady, you are clear to proceed with phase two."
"Alrighty." The bodacious blonde replied, Six looked down at said woman and saw her grow to be nearly 20 meters tall. The blonde sat down and put a nearby truck onto her foot, before raising her leg up and slamming it into the building, causing a loud crash. The officers and heroes surrounding the place rapidly moved into the building, pouncing on the seemingly comatose Nomus that were inside like hungry ghouls. Even though everything seemed to be going according to plan, Six had a nagging feeling that something was about to go terribly wrong. She was just about to voice her suspicions before she was interrupted by movement down in the building, the heroes seemed to be looking into the darkness at something, and Gang Orca was talking to it.
"Are you with the League?" Orca said, his voice being picked up by the voice activated mic that they all had.
Six finally saw what the Orca was talking to, a silhouette in the darkness moving forward. The Silhouette kept moving forward despite the warnings given to him by the Pro-Heroes. Jeanist appeared to have had enough with the man, as soon as he took a step into the light, Best Jeanist used his quirk to wrap him up. Six couldn't make out his face due to it still being obscured by the shadows, but she noticed his attire, a clean three-piece suit. "Wait, Best Jeanist, what if he is just an ordinary citizen?" Six heard Mountain Lady exclaim.
"Think about the situation. That instant of hesitation could decide the fight." Jeanist replied with a sentiment that Six could respect. "Don't let the Villains do anything!"
Just as Jeanist finished, Six spotted red lighting appear around the man, causing Six's eyes to widen. "Everyone get down!" She shouted, as she scrambled up and ran to get off the roof. But it was too late, there was a loud explosion behind her and the building she was standing on collapsed, with a chunk of concrete hitting her helmeted head and knocking her out instantly.
Reviews:
Mrpig6977: "Are you going elaborating on jump cut between chap 2 and 3?"
A/N: I will bring that up eventually when we get to the Villains POV.
Guest: (I'm not going to put both of the reviews that you wrote here.)
A/N: Thanks for the resources you recommended to me! And as for the NCR Ending video, well, this Courier Six will be a Neutral Karma, Independent New Vegas, Six. But she went independent on good terms with the NCR. Dunno if I'll have it so that she killed Oliver at the end tho.
Flowers: "Courier Six: "Oh yeah my Quirk is" *BANG BANG BANG*"
A/N: XD, pretty much.
1biznag: "Thank you for writing something entertaining"
A/N: *Blushes* Awww, thank you.
Anyways, that is it for this chapter, sorry for it taking so long, but I've had a really buzzy summer, between spending time with family, getting ready for school, and video games, I haven't had a lot of time to write, but this is out now and we're finally getting into some action. Though I really am curious, how many of you are actually interested in the "Lone Wanderer in the Mojave" side plot that's going on, please let me know, cause if ya'll aren't interested in it, then I might just scrap it entirely. And please review, I might not respond to all of them, but I do read every single one, and it really keeps me going. But anyways, feel free to leave criticism, roast me, threaten my life, or anything else along those lines.
Sayonara readers, Gamenian out.
