Okay so since Angry Lil' Elf is the only one who had any input on my conundrum I'm gonna go with his idea of having the parts of the heist be separate chapters, but try to extend them as much as I can. Also because this is one of my most popular fics ever, I feel obligated to warn you all, that I have a tendency to get very easily distracted. Like it could be the smallest…. Wait… is that…. Can it be?! YES! YAKUZA 6 IS FINALLY COMING TO XBOX! I CAN NOW HAVE THE WHOLE SET! Oops sorry, but yeah add that to my eventual list of distractions considering I'm pretty sure it will become available before I finish this chapter lol. Also heard about that new patch for Cyberpunk that makes it so the Cops don't show up out of nowhere after a stray bullet hits that old lady.
Edit: Going to be putting this here as well as in the next updates of my other fallout fics, Fallout Effect a Fallout x Mass Effect Crossover, and Survivor a Fallout x RWBY Crossover. This Chapter, as well as the next updates of those other fics, are dedicated to my late friend, Matthew Andreozzi who died of an aneurism about a year ago. He was the one who got me into Fallout. I still miss him dearly.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fallout or Cyberpunk, if I did Jackie would have gotten more screen time.
Chapter 2: The Meeting
V woke up in the morning with a glaring headache and the notification System Malfunction on his HUD. Probably from the Sandra Dorsette job the previous night. He got a call from Jackie and decided to meet up with him to get a ride to Victor's
He took the elevator down and met with Jackie at the Noodle stand when Jackie told him about the surprise he mentioned the night before.
"I got us a sweet ass J-O-B. I mean it's probably not that big… only that it's fronted by Dexter Deshawn! Only the top fixer in Night-fucking-City! Fat-assed Black Jesus of the Afterlife. Three hundred pounds of partly gold-plated cool. And that's not the best part," Jackie explained before pausing to see V's look of interest.
"He's bringing in another merc to work with us. But not just any merc, Courier fucking Six!"
V's eyes widened, "Courier Six?! As in…" even V knew who that was.
"The Merc of Mystery, BlackJack, Night City's Number 1 Merc, in the flesh," said Jackie, "And the best part is, I kinda know the guy."
"Wait wait wait, back the fuck up! You're friends with Courier Six?!" shouted V in surprise.
"Eh I'd say more like acquaintances, we haven't interacted enough to call us friends, but he does frequent the Coyote Cojo," Jackie Explained.
"How did this even happen? How did you meet Courier 6?!" V asked.
Jackie smiled and put his noodles down for a moment, "Well it's an interesting tale."
Flashback
Jackie his helping his mom out at Coyote Cojo today carrying a crate of drinks to the bar for her.
Suddenly they here gunshots outside and two members of the Valentinos came flying through the door. Then 2 more crazy looking guys came walking in liked they owned the place.
"Hello Coyote Cojo!" said Mook 1, "This territory now belongs to 6th Street!1"
Mook 2 laughed, "which means you are now paying us for protection!" he shouted.
"Fuck off assholes," said a voice from the bar.
The 2 gang members looked toward the voice. It was a young man with duster with a spade on the back with the number 21 in the spade, and a weird device on his arm.
Mook 1 walked up to him, "you got a problem punk?!" he asked angrily.
"Yeah," said the man slamming his drink down and turning his chair around revealing his sun glasses, "You see this is one of my 2 favorite bars in all of Night City, the people are friendly, and the drinks are good as are the prices. Then you 2 tweedle dee and tweedled dumb just walk in like you own the place and ruing the fucking atmosphere!"
"Listen here punk do you have any idea who…" Mook 1 started to say before 2 gunshots were heard and mook 1 just went flying into the table and lay dead.
The man was now holding 2 pistols, "You seem to be confused," he said, "Since when did I give the impression, I gave shit who you were?"
"Jimmy!" shouted Mook 2, before he charged at the man who kicked him in the gut and sent him flying into the wall. The man fired several shots at the guy and he fell to the ground dead.
"What's going on here?" said another Sixth Street guy from outside walking in and seeing the sight, "Billy! Jimmy!" he shouted before getting shot in the leg by the man. "You tell the rest of 6th street what you saw here, and tell them the same fate awaits anyone else who tries to fuck with this bar!"
The last guy limped out and a car was heard.
The man then pulled a credit chip out of his pocket and put it on the counter, "Sorry for the Damages," he said. "Wait can we ask your name?" Jackie asked.
The man smiled and said "Courier Six."
"So that's why he's called Blackjack?" V asked, "Because of the 21 on his back?"
"That's what you took from this?" asked Jackie in a half-exasperated tone.
After a laugh they got into V's car and went to Vik's.
There were a lot of Tiger Claw bodies all over the floor, and one guy in a suit was crawling away while bleeding out. Meanwhile Courier Six was walking towards him slowly while humming to the tune of Chippin In. He loved Samurai's songs. He wasn't even completely sure why. Suddenly his Holo started ringing, and he put his foot in the suited guy.
"One sec gotta take this," he said before answering.
On the Holo was a dark-skinned bald woman. "Hello Courier Six Here," he said.
"So you're Six, I'm T-Bug," said the woman.
"Ah, you're the Net-Runner Dex mentioned," said Six, "What do you need?"
"I wanted to let you know that V and Jackie will be at The Ripper Doc Victor's for a while," said T-Bug, "This could be your chance to meet up with them, from what I heard from Dex and what I read up on you, you like to get to know who you're working with."
"Preem," said Six, "I had been meaning to stop at Vic's anyway, I just need to finish up this job real quick."
With that he hung up his holo and went back to the guy on the ground.
"Now where were we Jotara Shobo?" asked six, "Ah yes, now looks like you finally crossed a line that there was no return from." Six flipped the now named Jotaro onto his back, "Now from where you're lying this probably seems like a 20 karat run of bad luck," six then pointed Sweet Revenge at Jotaro, "But the truth is, the game was rigged from the start." And with that he shot him in the head.
"Man I'm hungry now, wonder if I have time to stop by Buck a Slice on the way."
Six loved Buck a Slice. Everyone thought he was crazy for that. But hey, compared to the food in the Wasteland, even Buck a slice is heaven. 2
He managed to get 2 slices and then drive over to Vic's. He was Driving a custom Mackindaw with a turret.
He entered Misty's Esoterica and Misty as well as a familiar bulky figure with her.
Courier Six smiled, "Jackie Welles as I live and Breathe," He holding his hand out and pulling Jackie into a bro hug, "How's it going Vaquero?"
"Ah you know how it is Ses," said Jackie, "Fighting Scavs, getting a job from Dexter Deshawn, and now V may have a virus from jacking into a client."
"I'm sorry what was that last one?" Six asked.
Jackie smiled and explained their gig rescuing Sandra Dorsett.
Six whistled at that, "Damn, and here I was just taking down a Ripperdoc turned Scav."
A man in a suit walked in and spoke with an Austrian 3 Accent, "Mr. Deshawn is here to see V."
"Sorry Amigo," said Jackie, "V is getting an operation at the moment."
The man nodded, "Send him out when he's done," and with that he left.
"Uugh, come on V," said Jackie pulling his phone out and sending V a Text.
30 minutes later V came out and saw Jackie sitting on a chair while Misty was talking to him and Courier 6 fiddling with his Pip Boy.
"Hey V I presume?" asked Six, holding out his hands, "I'm Courier Six."
"So Jackie tells me you're a nomad," said Six, "I was always fond of the nomads, maybe it's because I myself am a man of the road."
Six and V exchanged numbers as V went to meet Dex, and Six went for his own appointment with Vic.
"Ah Six," said Vic. "What can I get you today?" he asked.
Six smiled sadly and nostalgically, "I think it's time I get myself hooked up with a Sandevistan."
"Are you sure?" asked Vic, "You know how they can affect people."
"I feel I need to, to honor an old friend of mine." said Six.
"Well alright," said Vic.
After the appointment Six got a call from V.
"Hey V," said Six, "What's up?"
"So I already told Jackie, but this job involves as taking a Biochip from Arasaka."
"Nice," said Six, "I always liked Sticking it to the Corpos."
"Anyway, We have a couple of prep jobs to do first," V explained, "First we need to retrieve a Flathead bot from Maelstrom, problem is the guy Dex paid for it, Brick, got offed by Royce who now runs it. Now I Dex suggested I seek the Militech woman Meredith Stout, for info as apparently Maelstrom got the Flathead by robbing one of Militech's convoys."
"Yeah," said Six, "I can help with dealing with Maelstrom, but I will not meet with Meredith Stout, I'd rather avoid crossing path's with Militech if I can avoid it."
"May I ask why?" asked V.
"Sorry V," said Six, "But I just don't know you well enough to tell you something this personal, but if this goes well we'll probably do a few more gigs together, so give it time."
"Understandable," said V, "The other prep job is to meet with the client Evelyn Parker at Lizzie's bar."
This immediately got Six's attention, "I'm coming with you on that one, no debates."
V was surprised, "Well that was a bit sudden."
"Lizzie's Bar is run by the mox, they and I have a bit of a history, so whenever deals involve them I like to make sure things go smoothly. Besides I need to pick something up from there anyway, this way I can kill two birds with one stone," Six explained.
V nodded, "Alright, well I'm gonna go for the flathead first, and meet with the Militech agent."
"You do that," said Six, "I need to make a stop first so I'll meet you at Allfoods."
With that Six hung up, and drove over to an apartment. He went to one room guarded by two Mox.
"Ah hey Six," one of the said, "Here to see her again?"
"Yeah, how is she by the way?" asked Six.
"She's finally eating by herself," said the other one.
"Good she's making more progress," said Six smiling before going in.
Inside, watching TV and eating noodles was a short girl with pale skin, blue hair, and also a metal plate on part of her head.
Six walked up to her and she smiled tearfully, "Six you're here again," she said happily.
Six smiled back sadly, "Hey Becs."
1: on a side note when I first saw there was a gang called 6th street my first thought was the 3rd street Saints from Saints Row lol
2: Blame Devil may Cry for me making Courier Six love pizza lol
3: I actually can't quite place if it's Russian or Austrian, at first I thought Russian, but thinking back on it, he sounds like Terminator (I'm not gonna try to spell Arnold's last name lol) so he might be Austrian.
I finally finished this! Curse my ADHD brain for making me take so long. Keep in mind I said in the beginning Yakuza 6 was coming to Xbox game pass when I started this, that should tell you how long ago I started. And to apologize for keeping you all waiting, here is an announcement in the form of a self depricating omake.
Omake: 2 years later
Six is sitting at afterlife with V and Johnny Silverhand. Suddenly the lights flicker. "What's going on?" asked V.
"Well this can only mean one thing, only one person likes to make an entrance like that," said Johnny.
The lights went off then back on revealing a man in a black trench coat with long Blue hair.
"Rio Skyron," said Six.
"It is time to continue Courier in Night City," said Rio.
"Yeah no," said Six.
Record scratch
"Wait what?" said Rio.
"Are we really gonna pretend that the last 2 years didn't happen?" asked Six in an annoyed tone.
"... You want to talk about Covid?" asked Rio confused.
"What?! No!" shouted Six, "I'd rather get Covid than talk about it."
"Then what?" asked Rio.
"You barely touched Courier in Night City for 2 years!" shouted Six, "And now you want to do it now? when the game is picking back up?! Yeah no I'm no sell out."
Rio Skyron sighed, "What if I were to tell you I was planning an Edgerunners spinoff."
Six spit his drink, "Wait seriously?!"
Rio nodded, "I did research, based on the timeline, you could have realistically run into the cast of Edgerunners."
"Well in that case I'm in," said Six, "What about you guys."
"Yep," said V.
"Beats sitting here," said Johnny.
That's right I'm getting into Edgerunners. Now I said spinoff, but I'm actually trying to decide if I should do that, or do this Symbionic Titan style, where I occasionally have a pure flashback chapter, like what Symbionic Titan did with the episodes Shadows of the Past and Escape form Galaluna.
Let me know what you all think.
