"Son of a bitch!" Six yelled as he struck out, his fist slamming into a heavily reinforced punching bag. "Shit, Shit, Shit!" Each swear added to the number of punches he was throwing. "Fuck!" With one last powerful swing, Six ripped a hole in the bag as it bounced wildly from the punch's force.
"You done?" Veronica asked. While she understood his rage, she felt sorry for the bag, as this was the third one he'd destroyed.
"Barely," Six huffed, placing a fourth bag onto the hook. "All I know is whoever is behind this, I will take their head and stick it on a pike."
"Harsh, but understandable," Came Nezu's squeaky voice as he walked in, a cup of tea in hand. "As much as I would like to continue to dissect the specimens you gave me, I must inform you that it's nearing Hero Day."
"Hero Day?" Veronica asked.
"It's a day where students meet their idols and show off during school hours," Six answered. Nezu didn't disagree.
"I see..." Veronica sweatdropped, "Anyway, what do you want us to do about it?"
"That's the problem," Nezu said. I don't know what to do with you two! Exciting, isn't it?"
"Don't play coy," Six sighed, "You have a plan for us. That, there is no doubt."
"Please don't ruin my fun, Six," Nezu griped at Six. "Anyway, yes. I do have a plan for you two."
"Well then, let's hear it." Veronica sighed and asked.

"We should have never listened to Nezu..." Veronica stated as she led the next group of students toward the gymnasium.
"At least we don't have to have a speech or demonstration to do," Six told her as he walked beside her, going over a clipboard. "Thankfully this is the last one for the day."
"At least the students are well-behaved," Veronica sighed.
.
As they led the last batch of students toward the gymnasium, Six felt as though he was being watched. And it wasn't by the students. Six took this time to click the pen he had in a series of clicks and dashes. It was Morse code.
Veronica heard the message and discreetly messaged Nezu. Once the message was sent, Six excused himself to head off toward the bathroom. Upon reaching the bathroom, he quickly pulled out a [Stealth Boy] and activated it as he entered the bathroom. Once the [Stealth Boy] was activated, Six made his way out before the door closed, making it seem he was still in the bathroom.
Once outside, Six activated [V.A.T.S.] to see if whoever was watching him was nearby. With time slowed down to a crawl, Six took the equivalent of a few minutes to find the source. However, he came up with nothing. Even after stalking around the area where he felt it resulted in nothing. Even after the hour at which the [Stealth Boy]'s duration was up, he found nothing. Just as he was about to call the whole thing off, he saw a creature from the Wastes.
A [Rad-Scorpion].
A big as hell one at that.
With a screech and a click of its oversized pincers, it charged at Six. Six whipped out his revolver and quickly put three into three of its eyes, dropping it dead. Just as Six was about to holster his gun, he was quickly surrounded by more [Rad-Scorpion]s. They all looked the same, except for one. One was three times as large and had a white skull painted on its face. It was a freaking [Death's Head Rad-Scorpion].
Six had only met two of them during his travels in the Waste, and each time nearly killed him. Even more so than the War and all the battles he had fought.
.
"Shit," Was the only thing that Six could say at that moment.
.
With rapid reflexes, SIx pulled out [Pew Pew] from his [Pip-boy] and fired the two shots into the Death's head, doing practically nothing to it. Only angering it even more. Six nearly shite himself when he saw that, knowing they were vulnerable to Energy Weapons made it even worse. With reflexes now enhanced by fear, Six put away [Pew Pew] and pulled out the first thing that came to mind, his [Grand .50].
As the name implies, the [Grand .50] is a .50 MG rifle capable of dealing tremendous damage to a target. Modeled after an M1 Grand, it is semi-automatic, therefore it fires faster than the bolt-action Anti-Materiel Rifle. Compared to the bolt-action [Anti-material Rifle], it fires at a much faster rate. However, it has a very large spread.
This has saved Six more times than he had counted. And now, its time to shine has come again.
Without missing a beat, Six put two .50 MG rounds into the closest two that had charged at him. The carapace that made up their armor did nothing to stop the rounds as they tore through them. With four more rounds in the clip, Six put down the next four leaving only the Death's Head left.
Once his [Grand .50] ran dry, he dashed back and rapidly reloaded, dodging the massive stinger from the Death's Head. Just as he slid the clip of .50 MG into the gun, the bolt closed and grabbed his thumb. Six had been Grand Thumbed.
As Six desperately dodged and tried to get his thumb free, he tripped. Six stared at the Death's Head as it scuttled closer, his fear of it making him slowly crawl backward, desperately trying to free his thumb. Just as he was about to make peace with death once again, a shot rang out. The Death's Head turned towards the shot as it plinked off its carapace, giving the reprieve that Six needed to free his thumb. Without remorse, Six stuffed the barrel of his rifle into the mouth of the scorpion and pulled the trigger. He kept pulling the trigger until he heard the 'ping' of it being out of ammo.
.
"You okay there?" Six heard the drawl of Snipe as he rushed over.
"Yeah," Six huffed as he dragged himself standing. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"What is this thing anyway?" Snipe asked as he nudged it with his foot.
"Rad-scorpions," Six told him, then pointed to the thing he nudged with his foot. "That is something that has nearly killed me every time I faced one. A Death's Head Rad-Scorpion. And I only faced two before."
"Well, damn," Snipe said, nearly shitting himself at the comment. "Think Nezu will let me mount it on the wall?"
"Doubtful, he'll want to dissect it to learn more about it," Six commented as he heard numerous footsteps rushing towards them. "Anyway, we're about to have company."
.
As soon as Six said that, Present Mic rounded the corner and shrieked. Then came AllMight and Vald King. Soon all the Heroics teachers arrived and saw the massive scorpions. Aizawa arrived with Nezu riding his shoulder and I could see his fur stand on end.
What came next was an hour of hell for Six. That didn't even count when Veronica arrived and saw the Death's Head Rad-Scorpion. Needless to say, everyone was scared and uneasy at what they saw and understood.
Meanwhile, Six had a single thought about all this.
.
'Why does it feel like I'm a character in some shitty book?' He thought.
