Damn, first day this was posted I got a ton of views, favourites, follows, and three reviews...That's awesome. Anyway hello, this is Melody with a new chapter. Now one of the reviews asked what was in my character's inventory so here you go. A scoped hunting rifle, fifty .308 rounds (Normal, Hollow Point, and Armour Piercing a piece), an NCR Ranger helmet, the Courier's Duster, a .44 magnum, fifty .44 rounds, a lever action shotgun, two hundred 20 gauge shells ( Half are slugs the other is normal shells ), Blood-Nap, twenty sticks of dynamite, twelve Stimpacks, four Super Stimpacks, Love & Hate, the Vault 13 canteen, ten bottles of purified water, ten MREs, and the acoustic guitar. That's excluding all of the miscellaneous shit of course. Also thanks for letting me know Jack the Stalker that I originally forgot the Intelligence part of the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats, I went back and edited chapter one so it's there now. Anyway I'm glad there are quite a few people that like this story, I'll try to update it weekly but I'm going to be getting a job soon so who knows. With that said let's get started.

Sincerely, Melody.

Normal P.O.V., Two Years Later

After they travelled for a couple of years they ended up at a bar that was going out of business in a town in Mistral called Bluesky. Six had gained a decent amount of money for doing different jobs and bounty hunts so he bought the place. Once he had the deed he and Emerald started to fix the building up and eventually it was ready to open one night. Emerald was really excited when they were ready to open so she bounced around on the stage that Six had made. During their two years together he taught her how to shoot a gun, fight with her hands, how to fix anything with everything, how to be persuasive, how to trade, and how to play the guitar.

Once it was nine o'clock the doors opened and people started to flood in. Most people here had become accustomed to their new oddball barkeep and who they thought to be his daughter. He quickly moved around the bar, mixing drinks and serving people. After about a few hours he stopped serving and went up onto the stage. Emerald brought his guitar up to him and he smiled.

"Thanks little lady." He told her as he took the guitar from her.

"You're welcome Six." She replied and smiled brightly at him. Murmuring started to fill the bar as they stared at the stage.

"Thank you all for coming to opening night of Renegades. My name is Six and I'm the owner and bartender, now I'm not from around these parts but so far myself and Emerald like it here." He told them all after he grabbed a microphone and motioned to Emerald. "Anyway, I'm gonna sing a little song for y'all so enjoy." He told them as he to play his guitar.

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day

Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say

No one dared to asked his business no one dared to make a slip

For stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol numbered one an nineteen more
One and nineteen more

Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
After Texas Red

Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
Twenty men had tried to take him twenty men had made a slip
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows every-body held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his death

There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

Big iron Big iron

When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip." He finished after a few minutes to a roar of cheers and clapping. "Thank you all, that was Big Iron." He told them as he stood up and leaned his guitar by the wall.

Once he set it down he walked back to the bar and went back to serving people while Emerald sat on the end of the counter and talked to people. After a bit a larger gruff man walked in, his hair was a grey and his eyes were black. Behind him a boy was trailing behind him who looked similar. Unlike the man who was wearing a thick and heavy coat to protect from the cold winter winds, the boy wore a sleeveless shirt and pants. Six wasn't used to the cold like most but he didn't really shiver as much as the boy was.

"Whisky, double." The man ordered as he sat down on a stool in front of Six.

"Comin' right up sir." Six replied as he went over and grabbed two glasses and bottle then walked back over to the man and poured him a drink. "That boy your's?" He asked as he passed the man the drink.

"Yeah. What of it?" The man replied with a glare.

"He looks like he's freezing, he needs a coat." Six told him as he fixed himself a drink.

"He's fine." The man replied.

"No he's not. He's shiverin' pretty loudly." He told the man as he took a drink and subtly slipped his hand under the counter and grabbed the handle of his shotgun.

"It's none of your damn business so shut up before you get hurt." The man practically growled at him.

"Thrust me buddy, you won't hurt me." Six replied and glared at the man.

"Why do you care so much for a useless kid?" The man asked as he slammed his glass down on the counter and glared back.

"Well it's because a sum of bitch like you shouldn't be allowed to take care of children.' Six replied as he placed his glass boy gently and hardened his glare.

"You piece of shit!" The man yelled as he reached a hand under his coat, about to pull out a gun until Six's shotgun was pointing between his eyes.

"Trust me partner, I'm faster so I'd suggest you raise your hands as one of my kinder customers goes to get a police officer." He ordered him as he kept the gun between his eyes. "Trust me if I fire now it'll get real messy." The bar was dead quiet as he said that.

The man didn't listen to what Six had said and promptly pushed his gun up as he pulled out a knife and tried to stab him. Six simply dropped his gun and grabbed the man's arm and proceeded to break his arm with ease and slam the man down on the counter. As the man started to struggle Six pulled out blood-Nap and pressed it to his neck.

"Now you come into my bar, order a drink, get pissed off, and try to start a fight with me. Tisk tisk tisk, you are truly dumber than some people from where I'm from." He chastised the larger man as he applied pressure on the man's arm. "So what's your name?" He asked as he looked down at the kid.

"Me-Mercury Bl-Black." He stammered out as he stared at the man and his father.

"This man nice to you?" Six asked as he motioned his head to the man he currently had in an arm bar. Mercury shook his head in response. "He hurt you a lot?" Six asked with a raised eyebrow.

"If you say a damn thing I will-" The man was cut off as Six slammed his head into the counter.

"Let the boy talk mister, I'm not the one to anger. Aren't I Em?" Six asked and the girl nodded.

"Yep last time he got into a fight it was with about twelve people and he won." She explained with a shrug, indifferent to what was happening.

"He does." Mercury mumbled quiety as he looked down.

"Okay then well what's his name?" Six replied as he tightened his hold on the man as some police walked into the bar.

"Marcus Black." He answered as the cops ran over and grabbed the man who was now known as Marcus to Six.

"Well then, looks like he's going to jail." Six told the boy as the cops cuffed the large man and dragged him off, Marcus screaming the entire time.

"Hey boss what do we do with the kid?" One of the cops asked as they looked down at Mercury.

"I don't know, seems like he'll have to go to an orphanage." The other officer replied.

"I can take care of him." Six chimed in as he walked over to the cops. "I'm a pretty safe person and I can easily take care of him, I already take care of Em and there is a spare room in here that no one lives in at the moment."

"That could work but we better asked the kid." The first officer said as he looked down at Mercury who was looking at Six with confusion. "You wanna live here kid? Or in an orphanage?"

"Here." Mercury replied in a heartbeat as he looked at Six now in awe.

Six looked at Mercury and nodded as he started to walk back over to the bar. Emerald looked at Mercury and waved at him then got off the counter. She ran over to Mercury and stood in front of him.

"Do you wanna play tag?" The ten year old asked him.

"Ugh sure." He replied as they started to run around and play the game.

Once Marcus and the police were gone the bar went back to being bright, cheery, fun, and loud as people went back to telling wild stories and drinking. Six had went back behind the bar and continued to serve people and listen to any stories they had to tell him. He enjoyed listening to the tall tales that most people had, they were funny most of the time because he's experienced so much more. Only one person knew that he wasn't actually from Remnant and that was Emerald.

About a year prior he told her about where he was from one day because she asked. To her it seemed strange but when he explained the brains at Big MT she believed him with ease. Much to Six's shock since he thought no one would believe he was from a different planet. It sounded insane but she believed him but that is most likely because she was only nine at the time.

The next day Six woke up early and went to make breakfast for Emerald and Mercury. As he got to the kitchen he went to the fridge and grabbed some eggs, bacon, and orange juice. After that he grabbed a couple of pans and a spatula then he started to cook. When he started to cook the sound and smell of sizzling bacon filled the apartment that was in the back of the bar. Within the span of five minutes Emerald and Mercury walked into the kitchen and sat at the table.

Once he was done cooking Six placed plates filled with eggs and bacon in front of Emerald and Mercury along with glasses of orange juice and forks. After he served them he got his own plate and turned off the stove. Then he sat at the table and he started to eat.

"So why did you offer to take care of me?" Mercury asked as he looked at Six.

"Because something like dealing with an orphanage is awful." Six answered after he took a drink of his coffee.

"But you don't even know me…"

"I realize this but you seemed like you need someone to take care of you and I know what it's like to live in an orphanage." Six told the boy and chuckled. "I lived in an orphanage when I was a kid and after my parents died."

"Oh okay then." Mercury said as he went back to eating.

Six nodded and went back to eating also. They all ate and had a little conversation between them all. Mercury was happy with his current situation. Emerald finished eating then took her plate and cup to the sink and rinsed them off and placed them in the sink. After everyone was done Six went and got ready for the day. After he was done with his shower he changed into his normal clothing but left his duster in the closet. Then he went to the bar and opened it up for the day.

Thanks everyone for following and reviewing, by the way the people that are leaving guest reviews I can't see them in the reviews but I did get emails with them. To the guy that said I shouldn't limit myself to game terms I'm not using the terms, I just posted that in case someone wants to use the character in their own New Vegas game. Anyway I'm gonna go.

Bye everyone and all, Melody
