Nobody till Somebody loves you
Nedzu was currently on a video call with one Louis Lane from metropolis. He had agreed to an indepth interview that was currently being livestreamed to both japanese and american news outlets.
"That is correct Ms. Lane. I have been trying everything to get my students and teachers back. Even sending a resident of that original universe to I-Island with the blueprints for the device created by Courier 6. Currently, the scientists at I-Island have given me permission to state that they attempted to create the device...they failed spectacularly. So much so that a few of them gave up science and went into engineering to try and make sense of the designs. The failure however...it brought with it advancements that we never thought possible before. I'm not at liberty to say as they will soon reveal it themselves at the coming I-Expo." Nedzu says as louis smiles.
"So even the greatest minds of this generation have 0 idea on what this 14 year old boy has created? Moving onto other inventions of the young man I hear that private security firms the world over are all chomping at the bit to get access to his robotic designs is this also true?" Louis lane asks as Nedzu sighs.
"Yes, it seems even the combined intelligence of the greatest of minds of our generation have no clue about the device. What inventions Courier 6 has created and continues to create are just that much better! As for the robots...yes. We have had offers in the billions of US dollars for exclusivity rights to use the devices but they were all declined. The robots are not merely robots. But full fledged Learning AI that adjust and update to be better at what they do. Besides i am not the creator. Courier 6 is. He is the one with authority over the bots. His legal Guardian and representative Joshua Graham has stated that Courier 6's robots are free to be given to the US Military under a very few conditions of which were sent not long ago to the president of the US AND the Japanese defense force. They are the only two allowed to have the workstations and build their own robots of COurier 6's designs." Nedzu says as Louis just balks at the comnent before realizing something.
"Wait...are you telling me that the entire US facing the disovling of the full 50 states and being broken into 13 commonwealths in honor of the first colonies is a proposal by Courier 6 in order to get access to these bots? Just how advanced are these things to literally have this be a viable option to get them. I mean I'm all for the Commonwealth idea as itll get rid of the corruption, fix the infinite terms of senate and state officials who use it to their advantage and also fix the house of representatives but jesus Christ to force this change?" Louis lane asks as Nedzu smirks before showing a video on his laptop sharing thebfeed with everyone of Izuku working on what seems like a full 50 tall robot painted with the newly designed American flag brought up by the current president and Izuku takes a core humming with blue energy and shoves it into the base of the robots neck. After walking away towards the robots shoulders Izuku speaks to the camera floating infront of him by way of an eyebot.
"Greetings Mr. President. If all goes well you should have gotten my letter delivered by All Might Not too long after his job started at UA. it was a favor of Nedzu to have him deliver this. I know you and china are currently at Odds over Oil in Alaska and are facing a war because they have taken steps towards invading more american soil after they have taken anchorage Alaska. My preposal is legitimate and to prove it id like you to meet Liberty Prime. He will be the very embodiment of American military might -- a walking, talking, nuke-tossing hero who will remind the world what it means to be a REAL super power. Not a paper Tiger. Testing Start up protoco with my new Beryllium core begin stage Alpha." Izuku presses a button and a large alarm blares as the robots head and body lights up and a huge robotic voice sounding like an intercom comes to life.
"Voice module online. Audio functionality test initialized. Designation: Liberty Prime. Mission: the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska! System Diagnostic Commencing. Mobility - Complete. Optic beam - fully charged. Nuclear warheads - armed!" Liberty prime says as izuku calls its attention.
"Liberty prime state your name and mission objective!" Izuku asks it as Liberty prime kicks on and grabs the power couplings around him tearing the metal scaffolding and other wires out of himself before saluting Izuku.
"Designation: Liberty Prime. Operational assessment: All systems nominal. Primary directive: WAR! Current directive. The Liberation of Anchorage Alaska!" Liberty prime says as Izuku has two kinds of robots brought up. A sentry bot patroller and a few dozen protectrons. Izuku standing on Liberty primes shoulder smirks.
"Liberty prime Begin Weapons testing. Authorization code G-Chase 2072!" Izuku says as the massive 50 foot robot turns its gaze towards the robots.
"Initiating directive 7395 -- destroy all Communists! Communism is the very definition of failure!" Liberty prine says as its Eyebeam vaporizes the hulking sentry bot in one hot before Liberty prime crushes the other two sentrys underfoot as it reaches behind its back and grabs a fatman shaped warhead.
"Area classified as active warzone. Engaging sentry protocols. Weapons hot." Liberty Prime says as He hurls the fatman looking warhead towards the shambling protectrons. The warhead nailing the center and exploding upon impact obliterating the area and ending the test.
"Liberty Prime Shut down for maintenance and fine tuning Authorization Echo Charlie-2077" izuku calls as the massive liberty prime shuts down as Izuku smiles.
"If you agree to my proposal, Liberty Prime and all other robots i have manufactured for UA will be freely given. Even the instructions and workbenches and tech required to maintain them all. It will not only create hundreds of thousands of new jobs, eliminate your dependency on oil all together and show the world why you dont touch American Soil. As for the final item on the proposal you only have to offer it to Japan. If they deny becoming the 51st state before the commonwealth of Nations proposal it's on them. However UA is already a sovereign nation by way of Nedzu's negotiations so he can indeed say that UA is american soil. I look forward to your answers! EDE end recording." Izuku says as the recording stops while Louis is pale in the face.
"What the hell was that?" Louis lane asks as Nedzu smiles.
"That was Liberty Prime. Izuku Midoriya's latest creation. According to him that automaton has the power to free Anchorage from the invaders who currently hold it ransom. It is why war has not been declared. Izuku negotiated with the president and offered liberty prime to freely use against the chinese invaders. It is why the campaign ended so quickly. Liberty prime was present at the battle. The chinese were so badly beaten they retreated and left billions of dollars worth of equipment and personnel behind. Liberty prime is currently back in UA's custody as per the signed agreement from the President but based on what you said it seems that america agreed with his proposals as even in Japan we have gotten word about us joining the US as its official 51st state. The 51st and LAST state ever. This was an announcment from the emporer themselves! I didn't know Courier 6 planned all this before the incident but As i stated before...the nation Courier 6 will create will be ahead of every other nation on the globe." Nedzu says as Louis lane looks on in astonishment.
"I uh...i didn't expect this interview to be so...enlightenening. I guess it makes sense that war was evaded because of this and our power infrastructure has been undergoing preparations for change. Jesus you were right, Courier 6 is literally the Hero who will build a nation by destroying the one that came before it." Louis states as Nedzu smiles.
"Now, since i need to get my mind off the nightmare that is the current political climate i'd like to ask about Courier 6's past. What kind of personality did he have when he was in say... Elementary school? I know UA does deep dives into academic records to see who has the right stuff to be heros." Louis lane asks as Nedzu smirks happy she brought this topic up.
"Courier 6 has always been a helpful and caring boy. Even before his 4th birthday he was always watching heros and quirks. When he was 4 years old he had seen All Mights japan Debut and immediately wanted to be a hero just like him. Saving anyone who needed it. He was unfortunately born without Quirk Factor Beta and his quirk never manifested. He is as Quirkless as they come. His peers belittled him, tortured him, abused him mentally and physically. His teachers included. They even went as far as shifting the blame of others using their quirks to torture him as Izuku starting the fights and being a general disturbance in class to his peers and instigating the events. His permanent record is full of black marks, notations of his general attitude and how he is...mentally disabled based solely on the fact his grades were purposefully altered and downgraded. He underwent this for 10 years straight until the day he wished to commit suicide." Nedzu says as he shows evidence of all the tampering, the abuse and the torture.
"My god! To a freaking child because he didnt have some stupid ability like Changing his skin color? The hell is wrong with people. ALso mentally challenged? I want the name of their dealer cause obviously the drugs teachers were smoking expired." Louis asks as Nedzu smirks.
"Not to worry. They have been dealt with. I personally set fire to that hell hole known as the Aldera school district myself after i had the whole institution shut down for ties to the MLA." Nedzu says as Louis lane sighs.
"You said Courier 6 tried commiting suicide? How and when." Louis lane asks as Nedzu sighs.
"It was the Incident in which Professor Phantasm used his quirk. Courier 6 had a very bad day. The torture was intense that day. He had no respite from the insults, no reprieve from the quirk usage on him, no rest from the torture and mental abuse and was even told to go kill himself multiple times by way of Spider Lilys. Even his thought to be at the time best friend told him to kill himself and destroyed his property. On his way home he ran into a familiar villain. The slime incident villain. Where he was saved By All Might and was told in no unceetain terms that he as a quirkless couldn't be a hero like himself. Now i stress that All Might said " Like Him" as in Courier 6 couldn't be a hero like All Might himself. But a regular hero such as a police officer or a doctor. Now it is not all mights fault and even Courier 6 doesn't blame him as All Might didn't know about the current legislation that passed a day prior showing it is ILLEGAL to hire Quirkless for any reason but they left out the Hero Profession as no quirkless would ever willingly go for it. So seeing no other option...Courier 6 ran in and saved a little girl from Phantasms rampage and gained his ire as a way to kill himself. It was just sort of luck that things happened the way they did." Nedzu says as Louis nods to him.
"Yeah i get that. I mean a lifetime of him being tortured and attacked for simply existing. It must have been horrible. But it was best things happened the way they did." Louis lane says as she smiles hearing someone approaching from the back.
"Now im sure that someone i know wishes to speak with you about him." Louis lane says as a woman dressed like a female all might walks forward.
"Nedzu my condolences for your class and everything that happened. But i have a few Questions. What's the threat assessment of that world?" Thebwoman asks as Nedzu smiles.
" oh its simply an Omega DS BlackGate threat Ms stars and stripes." Causing the woman to immediately recoil.
"Holy shit Nedzu are you serious? Giving the world that threat level instead of a person is serious news. Are you sure?" Stars and stripes asks as Nedzu nods
"Yes I'm serious. But here's the thing. Courier 6 was designated as a LEGEND of that world. As in someone of All Mights fame, strength and ability. He is all that's needed to save the others. So dont worry. By the way thank you for the favor i asked for." Nedzu says as Stars and stripes smiles.
"No worries Nedzu it was the least i could do. He deserves anonymity. In the mean time, what are you planning?" Stars and stripes asks as Nedzu shakes his head.
"No i have no plans. I have tried everything in my power to help my students and staff to no avail and now all that matters is Courier 6 getting everyone back safe and sound. I have no doubt he will do just that. SO I know you wish to know Stars and stripes so ask away." Nedzu says as Stars and atripes smiles.
"Thank you, so i know yiu had me use my quirk to give Him anonymity so everyone only knows him as Courier 6. But why have me do it?" Cathleen bate asks as Nedzu smiles.
"Simple my dear. Courier 6 had told me multiple times that he wished for anonymity of his name as everyone in the other world knows his by his job title. He came home and wished for that to be the case. His exact words were " No one cared who i was, till i put on the mask." The mask of course being a metaphysical concept of him putting on a persona of someone confident and doing a job. He wished the same here. I didnt realize it till my press conference ended thus the need to erase the blunder. Does that answer things." Nedzu says as Cathleen smiles.
"Yup! Thanks for telling me also why is it everyone in Japan is loosing their minds about Courier 6 and Miruko being married? IT makes zero sense. Just be happy they love one another. Also I look forward to Japan's induction to the US!" Cathleen says happily as Nedzu smiles.
"It's simple really. People are being whiney crying children about it. Courier 6 and Miruko spent 20 years in the otherworld together and Courier 6 multiple times has stated that he was a nobody here. Nobody knew him, nobody cared about him. He only became a somebody because somebody loved him. He knew the world never changed since he was away but still is happy to have her. Now thank you, now i must go. I have a lot to prepare for as you know. So i hope you had fun with my interview but i must go. Goodbye." Nedzu says as he ends the call and shuts his laptop. Izuku really does have plans for any kind of scenerio. Thankfully Cathleen used her quirk to make everyone forget IZuku is Courier 6's real name and joshua is back teaching a class on the evils of pride. Its something vlads Class needs.
Detnaret Headquargers Re-Destros office.
"So as you can see, this Courier 6 is a threat to the both of us! His filthy quirkless genes are polluting the genepool and making it impossible to push forward with our plans of ruling japan and changing the laws. Curious is even talking praises for him and his skills. This can not stand We MUST do something about this." A lanky limbed man says he looks to this random man and his leader.
"Oh come off it Skeptic you freaking lapdog. Do you really think that little speech is going to work on me of all people? I only came here because i was asked to meet Re-Destro. Not a brainless parrot who bemoans to all who hear him about a corrupted and failed ideology." All for one asks as he looks at the man before turning to face him entirely.
"How dare you speak that way of Re-Destro!" SKeptic says as he pulls out what looks like a hollow metal tube with two handles and a thick metal cylinder between them.
"What is that?" All for one asks as Skeptic smirks.
"What do you think moron! It's a tool!" Skeptic says as All for looks at him from underneath his helmet like hes a moron.
"No it's not. It's a fucking rolling pin. Who are you Martha stuart? What, are you gonna bake me a cake? Sing me a song, watch me blow out some candles?" All for one says pointing at the metal tube before Skeptic snaps his fingers calling for some subbordinates by yelling Muscle to come in. Curious and Re-Destro sighing and walking to stand away from what they know is going to happen.
"You're seriously trying to threaten me? With lowlife goons who have no names? I mean really? You literally just called them muscle thats it. Honestly im kinda disappointed. Here i was expecting a proper fight with proper men and instead i get a gaggle of faggots and pussies. You really call yourself gangsters? VIllains? A general even? Fucking embarrasing." All for one states as he simply lifts his hands and waves for Kuragiri to silently open a portal.
"Oh the meeting will take place with Re-Destro after you kneel and join him. Of course We're going to have to rough you up a little first. Just show you why we're the top dogs now." Skeptic says as he sees All for one merely pull out a platinum Canteen and take a drink from it.
"Ahh man...that guiness is full of iron. Gonna take a while to settle to the bottom." All for one mentions to Re-Destro who quirks an eyebrow up not realizing the tap he let All for one use was degrading.
"Re-Destro wanted to make you an offer but noe thats changed. His word is law and i will see it through! He want us to teach you a lesson." Skeptic says as Curious and Re-Destro look at one another confused before looking back at Skeptic.
"Oh he did eh? Well tell you what. Since you seem to be able to speak with him telepathically tell him for me that i said 'Fuck Destro, right? fuck his ideals, yeah? fuck that loudmouth cock sucker that hangs out with him, fuck your face! Yeah? And fuck the MLA Entirely what do you think about that? Huh? You like that?" All for one says not flinching in the slightest for any reason.
Skeptic getting angry is about to call out to attack only for all the for one to beat him to the punch by speaking.
"You wont mind if i fight back will yah?" All for one says as Skeptic smirks happily.
"As if you could manage it taking all of us on at the same time old man." Skeptic says as All for One chuckles softly at the naivety of this child infront of him as Kurogiri had opened a portal silently behind the goons and Tomura walks out of the portal holding two hammers clenched in his currently Quirkless fists waiting for the signal.
"Ah its more for my pride really. I know you're not gonna fight fair though. So i Brought these." All for one reveals on his hands are solid brass knuckles smiling before speaking again.
"Now before we start i have a joke for all of you. You'll love this one. A paranoid Schizophrenic walks into a bar." All for one says as Immediately tendrils of black and red impale everyone including skeptic as He steals their quirks. Before they can react Tomura slams a hammer into the back of the skull of one of the muscle dropping him to the floor as All For One quickly punches skeptic in the face with the knucles breaking his nose before right hooking a goon in the goon. The sound of metal clinking against bone is heard loud and clear both times.
One goon rushes All for One with a knife trying to stab him as AFO just merely dodges his lazy haphazard slashes. Its obvious none of them knew how to fight without quirks. As the knife wielding thug overextends himself AFO punches his elbow bending it in the wrong direction before nailing the thug in the face and running forward towards skeptic hitting him in the ribs, gut and nailing a left hook to his face.
Tomura is currently smiling like a lunatic as he swings the hammers about nailing the thugs in any spot their unprotected bodies have. Turning around with a huge side swing Tomura hits a thug in the leg and then he makes sure to bring the hammers down on his back sending him to the floor in pain. Another thug uppercuts Tomura in the face and gives him two hooks to the face making Tomura laugh insanely before spinning the hammer around and using the prybar section to stab the goon in the testicles as one thug picked up the "tool" skeptic had and hits Tomura in the head with it. Tomuras head actually turns from the impact but all it does is piss Tomura off.
Tomura grabs hold of the thug with one hand before swinging his other hammer around and nailing him right in the forehead spurting blood from the wound and he does it repeatedly till the dudes scrambled brains leak out the hammer hole. Tomura swings again and clips the thug he nailed in the testicles in the ribs breaking a few of those before turning to a thug that's tossed to him by His sensei before grabbing the man and pulling him in close biting into the mans ear.
All for one going for a few hard but quick strikes on a mans chest with his brass knuckles keeps moving up the mans torso before nailing him in the face and breaking his jaw. Tomura is shown still biting the mans ear before pulling back revealing he bit the damn thing off before spitting it back in the thugs face and headbutting him unconscious.
Tomura walking around towards skeptics right hand who is on the ground Tomura begins just beating his legs with both hammers smashing them up as All for one walks over lifting skeptic to himself and headbutts him a few times as Tomura begins just beating on the others who are already down. Skeptic who has a bit of fight him calls out.
"You fucking.." Before being silenced by All for one Punching him so hard his lower jaw breaks off and hangs from his skull. Tomura is shown dragging one thug to the corner of the room whos screaming before a crunch is heard as silence once again is in the room as All for one Snaps Skeptics neck like a twig and Tomurs uses the hammers to beat his underlings leg bones to powder. All for one and Tomura smiling at one another before a portal opens up and Tomura leaves through it.
"Well, now that the trash has been taken out. Business can resume. So i need to know Curious. Re-Destro. Why is it you speak highly of the quirkless. I even know you Rikiya personally donate to some quirkless shelters under an assumed name. Why speak so highly of Courier 6? Why care for those your chapter hates?" All for one says and asks as He has Kurogiri hand him a pint of beer before drinking it.
"Because i am not stupid. I was raised by Idiots who didn't think I'd find the original copies of the MLA manifesto and learn what my great great grandfather originally intended for the MLA. His own mother was quirkless and she was known as the literal "Mother of quirks." Should we kill her because she was quirkless? No, we shouldn't. As if brainwashing would work on me. Those idiots insisted i train to be immune to it. So of course i saw through the cracks of the decrepit fossils attempts at brainwashing me with their retarded rhetoric. I wanted you here today to help take care of them." Rikiya says as AFO smiles and nods.
"With pleasure. Besides, i need a new drinking buddy. So curious, what would you say to me being able to get you a one on one interview with Courier 6? I can pull some strings get him on your show and you can ask everything you want. However i must stress this to both of you. Courier 6 is not to be harmed. He is MY target. Unless you wish to face off against me when im angry and not in a joking mood like i was while i dealt with skeptic. SO if you want a fully serious attack from me By all means attack him and hurt him. Rob me of the pleasure of my fight with him. I dare you all. Oh and Thanks for the pint. It tasted like shit but that's not yourbfault. Fire your construction crew and hire a new one. Ones who know how to make a bar tap." AFO says as he downs the whole thing in one go.
"So from one true Gangster to an actual villain, Re-Destro, Do Keep your hands off courier 6. He's mine. I'll deal with your board of directors on my way out of the building. Now try not to be a dissapointment like your ex subordinate would you? Oh and please be at the Kamino ward 'Reggies Pub' by noon friday with the payment i want and time to relax. Just cause we're enemies doesn't mean we can't have manners and have a drink together once in awhile or have fun now and again. Ta ta" AFO says as Curious exhales worriedly as she looks at what AFO and his one subordinate have done knowing she will need to tread carefully if they dont want to end up erased like his other competitors.
Reggies Pub
"So, sensei, while i had a lot of fun doing that. Why did we need to make a show of those loser fodder NPC'S?" Tomura asks his sensei through the "Audio Only" TV screen as All For one smiles at his apprentice.
"It was to make a statement Tomura. Not all competitors react the same way to force. Some will betray you no matter what, some will agree after a fight and some kneel to a show of dominence and some.. Well some people only respond to statements and clear messages." All for One says as he rehooks himself into his life support system away from the bar and in his hidden warehouse.
"So that statement err Clear message that we sent. What was it?" Tomura asks genuinely curious.
"The statement we made and the message we gave was that it doesn't matter who we are dealing with we are the ones holding ALL the cards. We will not bow, we will not kneel, we will not show fear or buckle to pressure. We are in charge at all times always! Killing skeptic and his underlings the way we did undermines the very principles of the MLA and shows they're nothing but hot air and are not to be taken seriously." All for one says as he pulls out of a hidden compartment a bottle and he drinks some of his favorite Brandy.
"Killing such a high ranking member of the MLA while quirkless and fighting with simple weapons just shows everyone else that we have the strength to ignore the limitations of others and theirbsupposed amazing quirks. Especially since i can just steal their quirk and leave them worthless. WHat we did makes us look extremely powerful and the others we beat or killed look weak in comparison. Word will soon spread through the entirety of the MLA and all the other quirked or quirkless terrorist groups that me, a dying, crippled old man, and a quirkless psychopathic gamer manchild killed one of detnerats top and most powerful commander and his elite guards. WHile quirkless!" All for one says making tomura smile.
"So it shows to everyone, even the fodder and NPC's that we're the final bosses! That we are not to be taken lightly! That even against odds severely against us and our back to a wall we will undermine your authority, your beliefs and show why your own ideals are garbage and dont matter compared to our ambitions! So their are different ways to do things like this! Like a dialogue tree in a video game or a mission with multiple ways of completing it! Thank you for teaching me this important lesson sensei!" Tomura says as the tv turns off leaving All for One alone before he smiles at his apprentice before he turns off the TV ending the connection to the bar leaving Tomura to ruminate on his lessons.
"Izuku, My boy, truly i do wonder about that world you were trapped in and what you've done there to be this strong. I must know what this world is like and how it diverged from our own. I want to know EVERYTHING! Oh how i wish to know just what kind of things my own flesh and blood has done in that realm to earn his current strength and intelligence." All for one says as he takes another swig from his brandy. Looking at the tv he contemplates his next move before smiling.
"Oh i do so look forward to our fight my son! Not even All Might could make me this excited to fight! Finally after 200 years! A worthy opponent. Oh yes, Our battle will be legendary!" All for one says as he begins to laugh to himself before calling up the doctor.
Sanctuary Hills
Pony smiles some as she rubs the sweat from her brow. Looking at her armpit she blushes embarrassed about how hairy its gotten. SHe wonders of she should ask Momo for a razor. Ignoring it for now she wipes her head a bit as Sweat is pouring down her face. Soon She looks at the house she just helped reroof with some help from Tsuyu, melissa and Yaoyorozu. Soon enough a Klaxon alarm blares loud and clear as all the UA students run towards the designated area as a big housed in arena. Midnight and Inko are currently there as everyone runs in and sees each other including Abigail and Preston. Preston steps forward and calls out.
"Everyone we have a problem. It seems some raiders are heading here. We have to be prepared to fight and defend the settlement! get your guns and be ready." Preston says as Tsuyu ribbits softly pulling out her Sniper rifle. The Gobi campaign sniper Izuku gifted her as Others begins locking a loading their own personal weapons.
"Come on girls. Izuku made sure we were safe in this world and he made sure we knew how to treat raiders. Be prepared!" Midnight says as everyone gets into position on some ramparts ready to defend the settlement as one radier walks up to the Old North Bridge holding a hostage and keeping a gun on her head. The raider calls out for everyone to hear.
"Hey this is Sanctuary right? The place that toshi whatever guy said we can come to? I have a hostage and im not affraid to kill her. I just want to talk to someone in charge!" The raider says as tsuyu lines up a shot and signals for Midnight who walks forward on the bridge to meet the man.
"Hello, my name is Nemuri. Its a pleasure to meet you mr..." Midnight says as the man sighs.
"The names Johnny. This hostage? Her name is caroline. She said her daughter was sold by her piece of shit husband to the corvega gsng. I only needed her to negotiate. I swear we aren't here to hurt you guys." Johnny says as Midnight looks at him and smiles sensually before posing, slightly accentuating her assets to him.
"Well if that's true then by all means please let her go and have you and your friends drop your guns. We dontind talking if that's okay with you sweety." Midnight says as Johnny thinks about it for a bit before lets Caroline go and pushes her forward gently before keeping his gun aimed at Nemuri.
"I'll release the hostage but im NOT giving up my gun. Can we talk please?" Johnny says as Midnight has Inko come and take caroline into sanctuary. Midnight sighs and nods to him.
"You and your friends can come in sure. But just know we will open fire if you cause trouble. So what did you want?" Midnighf says as Johnny sighs and calls his friends over. Three women and a man walk over joining Johnny as Johnny speaks.
"Well we uh...kinda attacked that Toshi guy. He was the representative of some big brahmin Baron out west. SO we thought he'd be easy picking for a pay day but... He kicked our asses bare handed and no weapons needed. Dude literally punched a super mutant and turned it into green paste on a buildings wall... He kept us alive from our group. We were 15 strong but we're all thats left. He asked why we did what we did and for most of us it was the same...we had no other real option. Sure we like doing what we want and killing and doing chems, drinking snd such but we do care about each other. Seeing our friends get wasted like that kinda woke us up to what we did to people. It didn't feel good...not at all. We realized then that being raiders? ...its not worth it. He said this place here would let us get a fresh start... No matter what our past was. We had no idea how to ...you know get an audience so we risked a hostage and grabbed a woman we met along the way. I never intened to really harm her. SO can we stay?" Johnny asks as Midnight sighs at toshi. Always the one to try and help everyone. Even someone trying to kill him. The man is an idiot sometimes but uou can't deny he's an amazing hero.
"Of course sweety. Come on in and make yourself at home. As a former raider you have infirmation we may need anyway. So i know it cant have only been toshi who talked to you. That man while helpful is sometimes an idiot and can't express himself correctly. something had to trigger his words getting to you. What was it?" Midnight asks as she escorts the former raiders into sanctuary as Johnny shudders in fear as Preston walks forward to keep an eye on them and hears johnny talking.
"Okay now hear me out cause i know you'll call me crazy but i saw Courier 6 in quincy! He had literally just tore the entire a town a new asshole. He mangled the legs of the gunner commander stationed there and beat her head to mush and even crushed the chassis of the power armor she wore his fucking boot! Dude was soaked in blood and wore half destroyed armor but he was fucking unstoppable. I peeked out cause i heard screams and was tempted to join in the fight till i saw that shit. Told my leader that i didn't see anything cause sure as shit i can take a gunshot to the leg as punishment for lying to my leader than the violent ass death i would have had being ordered to fight the fucking boogeyman of the wastes." Johnny says as Midnight giggles while preston immediately gasps.
"Oh yeah courier had a job to do so i know he didn't fail. Its good you were smart not to mention you saw him. Be a real shame if someone as cute as you were killed." Midnighf says as preston immediately begins fangirling.
"Dude Courier 6 is REAL? Wait! Courier 6 is here in boston? WAIT! He killed the gunners in quincy? Wait YOU KNOW COURIER 6?" Preston yells as Midnight chuckles.
"He did escort you guys here to sanctuary with Nick. Mmm that man and what I'd do to him. God i wish he'd stop by." Midnight says as she remebers spending time with Nick a bit before he left.
"HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!" Preston yells as Sturges and the others from quincy walk up.
"Whats with all the hullabaloo Preston? You pissed tge raiders want to reform?" Sturges laughs a bit before Preston yells.
"WE WERE SAVED BY THE BOOGEYMAN!" Preston says as the quincy group all pale in horror as sturges trembles before asking.
"Are you sure preston? It was really Courier 6 who saved us in the museum?...wait...he said you all were his tribe...wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Seriously? Courier 6 is here? He's in the commonwealth? THE courier? The manic inventor? Walker of the divide? Slayer of gojira? The grim reapers sprint? THE GOD DAMNED WASTELAND BOOGEYMAN! that fucking lunatic is HERE in boston and on a job? Holy shit...holy shit holy shit HOLY SHIT!" sturges says as the entire quincy group either run away into the fixed up houses or begin immediately praying to something. Ignoring it for now Midnight and Johnny keep walking.
"So uh you're courier 6's tribe? Was that toshi guy ALSO part of it? Cause he was with who was assumed to be The Couriers wife." Johnny says as he remembers seeing Rumi kick a damn car like a rubber ball making it hit a deathclaw and psste the damn thing as a smear on the pavement.
"Huh? Toshi? Yeah he's part of the Deku Shrub Tribe. It's why he's so strong. That was COuriers wife with him. Its tradition for the tribesman to work in teams of two or three. SInce he needed a guide TOshi took Rumi with him. Courier can handle himself on his own as you very well know. Toshi and Rumi are following up on a lead to a place called Medtec to grab hold of a very specific chemical compound. Now since you're a raider i know you have information on what i need. I need to know about the location of all the other raider factions in Boston. It'll help us with navigating around the city proper and help us take less risks." Mid ight says as Johnny and hos friends smile abit and begin to explain the whole situation to her. From gang territories, patrol routes and even motives. Midnight takes note of someone called red and ensures she'll try making friends with them since they're a raider group who only raid other raiders. The time wasn't only spent gathering info but slso drinking, getting to know one another snd even the former raiders helping fight off a ghoul horde and helping with the crops much to prestons surprise. The talk lasts hours into the night as Only Midnight, Johnny and Magnolia are awake at this time and Johnny puts down the Acustic Guitar and laughs a little drunkenly.
"So yeah i can play as you can clearly see! Even drunk im pretty good." Johnny says as Midnight chuckles and rubs his arm.
"Guess i should call you Johnny Guitar. Cause while rough on the outside, deep down You're a good man. Thank you for all the help Johnny." Midnight says as she, Magnolia and Johnny are just walking towards the house closest to the bridge when Midnight see's Izuku, Nate, three Female robots and a robotic detective walk into sanctuary. Izuku wearing a seriously intimidating set of X-02 Black Devil Tesla Power Armor while holding a big ass Plasma Gatling gun.
"Oh hey Courier...i see you had fun. On your little trip. We made some new friends and got a lot of information! We can talk about it in the morning. But first... What happened to you guys?" Midnight says as Izuku merely smiles beneath his power armor helmet.
