Hello everyone and all, Melody here. I hope people enjoyed the previous chapter, as I stated before, I am making this and the next two chapters right after I finish typing the previous one. I don't have much to say here, so let's get onto the chapter.

Sincerely, Melody

Normal P.O.V.

It had been a couple of days since Six had his meeting with Ironwood and seeing that Pale Man again. He hadn't seen him since so Six felt it was his paranoia acting up like back in the Mojave. It hadn't acted up since the first month he was on Remnant and he finally started to relax. Honestly, he was starting to regret joining up with the Atlesian Military because if he hadn't joined he probably wouldn't have encountered the Pale Man. He probably should stop thinking about it but he just couldn't, it was actually keeping him up for the past few nights. Sleep eluded him as he sat in the room that Flynn provided him and Emerald.

He was tinkering with his arm to keep his mind occupied from his lack of sleep. For a long time, he had been contemplating adding a pistol or something along those lines to his arm and tonight was the night he decided he was going to work on it. On a desk, Flynn helped Six get sat a toolbox, a work lamp, and a standard-issue pistol to soldiers that had been stripped down to its base parts. His arm was open with the faux skin peeled back exposing a bare, gunmetal grey finish revealing the circuitry and tesla coils on the inside. Picking up a wrench, he loosened a couple of bolts on the inside and took them out. Examining it, Six knew he had some parts in it that could be taken out and still function. Before he could get to work, Six heard an annoyed growl behind him from the bed.

"You're being loud…" She yawned and rubbed her eyes in annoyance. "Why are you up so late…?" She asked as she got up and walked over to him, totally ignoring the fact Six only had one arm attached.

"Couldn't sleep." He answered quickly and pushed the chair out for Emerald to sit beside him.

Emerald in response, rolled her eyes. "So you decide to wake me up so you can fiddle with your arm?" She questioned with another yawn.

With a sheepish smile and scratch of the back of his head, Six chuckled. "Yeah… Sorry about that Darlin'. Didn't mean to wake ya, just had to do something to try and tire me out."

"Need any help?" She asked and looked up to him.

After a moment of thought, Six nodded. "Yeah, you can lend me a hand. I'll show you how to work on stuff like this. Maybe you'll want to make a career of it in the future. He suggested but Emerald shook her head in response. "Why not?"

"I wanna be a Huntress." She answered with a stern gaze.

That caused Six to smile. "That's a better career in my opinion but I'm curious, why ya wanna do that?"

"Well, ya know... Lothur and Fiana and the others are going to be Huntsmen and Huntresses. I also wanna help people, like you did with me." She explained and quickly looked down at Six's arm on the table. "Seems like a mighty fine idea to me." She said but didn't realize she replicated Six's accent which caused him to chuckle a bit. "Why are ya laughing?" He just continued to laugh which caused her to punch him in the side. "Stop laughing at me!"

"I ain't laughing at ya, you just sounded like me. That's funnier than hell." He said and chuckled some more which actually got a squeak out of her and her looking away shyly. "Seems like I'm havin' an effect on ya."

"Well, I have been around you for a little under a year now." She replied which caused Six's eyes to widen slightly.

"That's true, ain't it. Want me to get you something to celebrate?" He asked and received a nod. "Whatcha want?"

"A set of revolvers, custom-made by you." She answered calmly.

"I think I can do that for ya but it'll take some time considering my current work." He informed her and started to add the pistol into his arm.

"Hopefully it'll be done by the time the next school year starts." She said as she handed him one of the tools he pointed to.

Six nodded as he tightened a bolt into place. "We gotta couple of months till then, so I think I'll manage."

Their night continued from there on, Emerald helping Six work on his arm and asking questions about mechanics. Eventually, they both fell asleep at the desk at around five in the morning. Luckily Six wasn't needed at the base that day so Flynn and Bruna let them sleep in.

Over in Vale Leon stood in the kitchen of his apartment early in the morning as he prepared breakfast for the kids and Dogmeat; Said mutt was at his side as he moved around the kitchen quickly. His neon-blue hair was tied up into a high ponytail as he cooked so he wouldn't let any hairs fall in; A few strands framed his dark face though. In a chilled glass on the counter was a viscous red liquid. Reaching into the fridge to grab a carton of eggs, he looked over to the partially empty blood bag. With a sigh, he took four eggs from the carton and returned it to the fridge. He'd have to get a few more bags soon but that was rather difficult in Vale. The first night Mercury was there, the kid was actually unnerved to see him drinking the blood of some random person. Leon just lied and said he was a vampire bat Faunus that needed to occasionally drink blood for his diet. Of course, he could go out at night and knock someone out to harvest some but the feeling made him sick to his stomach; Well if it was an innocent person at least. If it was a criminal then all bets were off and he'd probably drain the bastard. Taking a sip from the glass he let out a satisfied sigh as Sally entered the kitchen with a mock salute which gave Leon a chuckle.

"Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes. Wake Mercury up please." He asked and returned to cooking.

"On it Captain." She replied and made her way to Mercury's room; Well Leon's room but he gave it to him and had been sleeping on the couch.

The sound of her knocking on the door filled the silent apartment and Leon picked up the remote to turn on the tv. The morning news usually bored him but they were discussing his handy work. Information traveled faster than usual and put Leon on edge for an instant but they didn't seem to know who did it which caused the tension to leave his shoulders. A thud from his old room caused Leon to look over and see Sally forcible dragging Mercury out by his ankles. Dogmeat barked a bit at them and went over to them as Leon chuckled. Finishing up, Leon plated the food for the kids. A piece of toast as the base with two fried eggs on top of that with two pieces of bacon making an "x", and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to finish it off. Dogmeat's bowl wasn't as lovingly presented as the food for the kids but he knew the mutt wouldn't care.

Sitting at the table with them, he ate an apple as they dug into their food. He would've made himself a plate but he hadn't tasted anything really since the day before he escaped Vault 101. He remembered the last meal he had with his father vividly. It was simple really, just the regular rations that were given out but his father was able to get them some sweet rolls from Old Lady Palmer to celebrate his birthday. That was the last day he was able to taste any food or drinks and living in the wasteland just shot his sense of taste; Now the only thing he could taste was blood.

"Got any plans today Captain?" Sally asked as she looked up from Dogmeat who she had just given a piece of bacon.

"Going to see Junior and see if he has any updates. What about you two?" Leon replied then took a bite from his apple.

"Probably just going around exploring more of Vale. Maybe call Elliot to see how everything is going on the ship." Sally suggested and quickly took a bite of her eggs. "Oh, maybe I can introduce you to Elliot!" She exclaimed as she chewed and looked at Mercury.

"Who the hell is that?" Mercury asked while raising an eyebrow.

"He's a guy that helped us liberate Mothership Zeta, an old field medic that was around during the Great War back on Earth," Sally explained excitedly.

Mercury rolled his eyes. "Until I see this ship I'm not going to believe you're from another plant that literally means dirt."

"I swear I'm not lying!" She exclaimed, clearly annoyed with him. With that, she threw her other piece of bacon at him.

"What the hell!?" Mercury yelled at her and threw his eggs at her.

Before they could continue, Leon slammed a hand down onto the table which caused them both and Dogmeat to yelp and look at him. "No. Wasting. Food." He said coldly and glared at them both which chilled their blood; His piercing blue eyes might have helped with that though.

They both nodded and continued to talk and eat as Leon finished off his apple. Once he was finished, he took off the frilly pink apron Sally bought him as a prank. The joke was on her though because the man had literally no sense of shame and wore it proudly; Given his somewhat feminine features and the fact that he didn't care what he wore, his neighbors thought he was a twin sister once. Setting the garish garment on the counter, he went to change into his casual clothes. The outfit was simple really, it consisted of a dark brown and green long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and boots. After he finished getting dressed Leon left the apartment, giving Sally and Mercury five hundred lien each.

Out in the streets of Vale, he didn't see many people other than the ones making their way to work. He was generally ignored as he kept his head down and hands in his pockets. Hanging off his hip was a holstered 10mm pistol made of steel but considering Huntsmen and Huntresses, that also was ignored. Above him, the skies were still save for the occasional Bullhead arriving at the docks and birds flying. To say the least, it was peaceful; That's what put Leon on edge. Being in a settlement full of people he'd expect some random arguments or gunfire or really anything. Not even being on Remnant for around two years hadn't taken away his paranoia.

With a low sigh, he neared the nightclub that Junior owned. Outside the doors were two guards dressed in their signature red and black suits. Leon personally thought they looked stupid but he was basically in a cult with Vault 101 and had to wear a blue suit all the time for 19 years so he couldn't really say much. The moment the guards saw him, they opened the doors for him with a little greeting. On the inside, there were some people cleaning the floors and tables while behind the bartop was Junior stocking new bottles of liquor from a box.

A whistle got Junior's attention before Leon spoke up. "Find anything yet?"

"Not much yet," Junior replied as he turned to look towards the lanky man. "It has only been three days. My men are good but still, it's not much time. Kinda funny for someone like you to be so impatient; Considering you're an assassin 'n' all."

This got a slight glare from Leon. "Regulator. I am a Regulator. Not an assassin, there's a difference." He hissed.

Shrugging it off, Junior continued to stock his shelves. "Yeah yeah, whatever you say Rivers. Anyway, I don't got any info for you yet other than a guy by the name you gave is a member of the Altlisean Military. Come back next week and I'll have something."

With an annoyed huff and resigned sigh, Leon nodded. "Alright. See you next week. Also, tell the twins I said hi." And with that he left the nightclub. Before he could continue down the street his scroll started to ring which he took out to answer. "You have Rivers… A job like that?... I'll meet you up there in an hour, I got one question now though; Why do you need someone like me Ozpin?... Understood." He then hung up his scroll and made his way to the airship docks.

Back up in Atlas a few hours later, Six woke up with a yawn and cracked his back. Looking down at the desk he saw his arm. Without the faux flesh, it looked rather boring with only the gunmetal grey. Because of the modification, the hand of the arm only had two fingers now but with a little ingenuity, he combined parts of one of the leftover fingers into the remaining ones. Majour problem with that though was now the faux flesh couldn't really go on without impeding any functions. Reaching down with his human arm, he picked up the cybernetic one and slowly started reattaching it. With a few quick snaps and a sudden surge of hellish pain, he grimaced and let the systems in his body start to readjust to the arm.

Once he was whole once more, Six noticed Emerald was gone and the chair she was sitting had been pushed in. He stood up and stretched out his arms and back before slapping himself on the face a couple of times to completely wake up. Leaving the room, he decided not to change and went downstairs. He noticed through a window at the back of the kitchen that all of the kids were outside training with Emerald watching the rest and a thought entered his mind as he looked down at the magnum at his hip. Off to the side, Bruna gave him a knowing nod and motioned him outside. It somewhat bothered him that she had the ability to hear the surface thoughts of people. And with that thought, she laughed lightly. Stepping outside Six heard the kids discussing various ways to combine their skills and Semblances.

"Come on Vi, Blood Buff would be an awesome name for our combined attack!" Six heard Nadja exclaim with a huff as she looked towards the taller girl.

"If it wasn't so edgy it'd be great but I'm not going to yell out Blood Buff in the middle of a fight. It would look ridiculous." Vivian told her and crossed her arm as a vein appeared on her head.

"What would work then?!" Nadja yelled with a bit of a growl.

Six chuckled as he walked over to the group which got their attention. "Why not Red Cloud? Considerin' from whatcha told Nadja, your Semblance is a rage mode Vivian. You know, clouds your judgment and ya both wear some form of red."

Vivan shrugged. "That sounds a lot better I guess." She replied and looked down to Nadja. "That work for you?"

Nadja nodded rapidly. "Yep, works perfectly!"

"Hey Em, com'ere." Six motioned her over to him as he pulled out his Mysterious Magnum.

"Yeah?" She asked and walked over him while cocking an eyebrow.

He held the revolver out to her. "Since you wanna use revolvers, might as well let ya start with mine so you can get a feel of what I'll make for ya."

She nodded and took the revolver from him. He'd shown her before how to fire ALSD but that had less kick than the Mysterious Magnum. She knew how to load it from watching him and gun safety because he refused to let her use guns without knowing even the basics. So he let her quickly load it about a dozen times and showed her a few ways to sling the gun around; Unloaded of course. The rest of the kids ended their discussions and watched as Six started to train Emerald. Looking over to the others, Six had them go find random cans and bottles and told them to set up a makeshift firing range. Reaching into one of his many pockets, Six pulled out a box 36 bullets and set them on a small picnic table.

The first target was around 15 yards away, after that the next was 30 yards, then so on and so forth. Six gave Emerald some basic instructions, it was simple, all she had to do was shoot each can twice and each bottle once. Every shot she missed was worth five pushups, every shot she hit took off two. Now Six would be a liar if he said he knew exactly how to teach anyone how to fight properly; All his skills were based on who needs to die first which always meant his enemies. Six showed Emerald the proper way to hold the revolver and helped her aim her first shot, then he took a step back.

Taking a deep breath then slowly releasing it, Emerald closed one eye then pulled the trigger. The revolver kicking back was followed by a loud bang and a yelp from Emerald but she didn't drop the gun. "Damn that hurt!" She exclaimed as she lowered the revolver and rubbed her shoulder.

Ignoring her exclamation, Six motioned to the can which was fully intact. "That'll be five. You can do'em now or stock'em up till the end." He told her which got an annoyed glare from Emerald.

"I'll stock them up." She told him then took up aim again and fired. This time she was prepared so the kick didn't startle her as much but she still missed.

"Yer at ten now." Six informed her as he sat on the ground beside her, ignoring the snow in the process. This got a slight growl from Emerald as she started to get more annoyed and fire again. This time she hit dead on. Again she fired quickly and hit. "That'll be six now."

This continued on for the rest of the day. Six would regularly send one of the kids to find and bits of garbage and continue to set up new targets. Once they were out of the way, Six would make Emerald fire at the new target. Some would be in hard to reach areas or just be slightly out of effective range. Honestly, some of it annoyed her but she piped down after he explained how trick shots can be effective on occasion. At the end of the day, Six decided that until the next school year starts he'd be training Emerald in marksmanship whenever he wasn't working. It made the pair excited and got the thoughts of the Pale Man out of his head for the time being. Soon it would change for the duo.

And with that, this is the end of the chapter. I hope everyone enjoyed it now let's get to the reviews.

Guest: Nope, it wasn't on purpose but when I saw it I found it too funny for me to go back and edit. You're welcome for the new chapter.

Silver0117: It'll be interesting.

Anyway, please leave a review because I love getting the feedback from people and knowing if there's any funny typos. The next chapter should be up in a week or two. Until next time, I hope everyone has a good day and all of that.
