Narrator: They say people die twice. Once when you die physically and last when you are forgotten. And Six, well no one's going to forget him anytime soon.

Ruby: What does that mean?

Weiss: Shh, he might say more.

Narrator: From his Grave in Goodsprings to the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, That man has done it all.

The scene opens up to someone's view.

McMurphy: You got what you were after, so pay up.

Benny: You're crying in the rain, pally.

Jessup: Guess who's waking up over here?

Benny: Time to cash out.

McMurphy: Would you get it over with?

Benny: Maybe Khans kill people without looking them in the face, but I ain't a fink, dig?

Benny: You've made your last delivery kid. Sorry you got twisted up in this scene. From where you're kneeling it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck.

Truth is... the game was rigged from the start.

Bang Bang

The cinema all gasp in shock at what happened.

Ruby: Did you die?

Six: Yes... But I lived!

Cathy: I'm going to kill that man!

Six: No need for that.

They look to Six somehow in Benny's Suit, holding Maria. Helmet still on

Six: I killed him with his own gun and looted his suit.

Ozpin: Might I ask how you survived?

Six: First off it was 9mm rounds, so they weren't that fast. Secondly I did sustain some brain damage. Third I'm thick skulled. The human body is quite resilient. I've heard of some old cases of people surviving headshots.

Qrow: Pal, those bullets were going much faster than our Dust rounds! What do you mean not that fast?!

Six: Right forgot about that little tidbit. Anyway 9mm rounds travel at a speed of about 990 to 1350 feet per second. A .50 round goes at around 2800 feet per second. Perfect for turning your enemies into a fine red mist.

Arthur: You've killed?!

Six: Oh yeah, a lot actually. You see where I'm from ain't exactly kumbaya and sunshine. It's killed or be killed.

Raven: So the strong live and the weak die?

Six: No, there it boils down to seven things Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. Also get your bullshit raider ideology outta here. I killed enemies stronger than me, because I was smart about dealing with them. Goddamn raider.

Raven just grumbles at Six's reply.

Mothy: Back to the screen, please.

Narrator: You see Six was special, he wasn't exactly born on Earth. He was from a planet called Remnant. His arrival in the Wastes was brought on by one of the Think Tank's experiments. The weeks leading up to his disappearance on Remnant weren't easy for. His transcripts were revealed and he faced torment from the students and staff there, barring his team and CFVY as well as being disowned.

Arthur: We would never do that!

Mothy: That is the thing in the multiverse no two of the same individuals are the same. In some instances the Arc father is kind and understanding and in others he's a dick.
