Unite (On Hold)

I do own fallout or any characters or ideas associated with the
story, fallout New Vegas, is a development by Bethesda.
Blah Blah Blah, now read my story.
20th October 2283
Major Cookson spun around in his chair and looked at the
Corporal standing to attention in the middle of the office.
"What is it Corporal?" He asked while stroking his goatee.
"Sir one of Caravans was ambushed going through the ruins of
Nipton" The corporal reported.
Cookson sighed and looked at the corporal and asked calmly "Were
there and survivors".
"There was a survivor but he died before they could remove the
arrow heads" The Corporal explained.
"Did he see who did it?" Cookson asked in hope of good news.
"Yes sir, he reported 5 males, 3 females and brown dog, they
were using an assortment of lever action rifles, spears,
machetes and revolvers and one was using a Bow and Arrow, that's
all we got out of him before he died" He explained.
"Get a squad out there to search the area for any trace of them"
Cookson ordered and then signaled with his hand for the corporal
to leave.
"Yes sir" the Corporal said and then left the room. Cookson spun
back around in his chair and looked out the window over the
McCarran yard, and in the far corner, the blood stains on the
wall where the Courier faced the firing squad with the New Vegas
sign in the back ground.
------
Chuck walked over a dune, his Repeater on his shoulder and his
pack full of stuff he looted from the Caravan, he had 3 Sticks
of Dynamite on his belt along with a .357 Revolver and a
Machete, on his back along with his standard pack(Which
contained a Medic Kit, A small ammo box, a big water bottle and
a Bedroll with the rest of space for stuff he looted) He had a
Telescope inside it as well an Ammo bag on his belt and and
strap on his Repeater, hanging it on his shoulder. He started
this gang after he got himself kicked out the rangers and
discharged after he seen what the NCR were doing to the Mojave
and it;s inhabitants.
Next over the hill was the second in command: Indian, she had
her Bow in hand and her arrow holder on her pack with her
standard pack, carrying a couple of spears on her back, a
machete, a Tomahawk and a .357 Revolver with a small ammo bag on
her belt. She was a member of the Followers, studying prewar
tribes, when Chuck approached her for date and soon after she
joined him on his quest, mainly for the same reason as Chuck
started it.
Following her was Duke, the rifleman, carrying a rare Bolt
Action 44 Repeater with an rarer Scope on it, carrying 5 sticks
of dynamite, a machete and 44. Revolver on his belt, He had the
usual Standard Pack but with a small axe in it and he had a
Bandolier wrapped around himself. He was a Riflemen and fought
at the Invasion of Cottonwood Cove during the first battle of
Hoover Dam. He and his squad held out an army of Legion troops 4
times their size. He became a farmer once his left, but recently
lost his farm, because he couldn't afford the high taxes of the
NCR.
The Girl of the group was next over the Dune, Carly, the spotter
for the sniper and gunslinger, carrying 5 Revolvers, a Scoped
.44 and two regular .44 Revolvers and another two .357
Revolvers, with a Hatchet and 6 Throwing knifes and 2 sticks of
dynamite, she wears very tight leather pants for 2 reasons, shes
slutty and needs them tight so they don't fall down from all the
gear she carries on her belt, along with her 2 small ammo bags
to keep her revolvers loaded. She carried the standard pack and
a Telescope for her spotting duties. She lost her family at
Nipton and hates the NCR for not helping but sending one man to
check it out. Whom almost left his life in the resulting gun
fight.
Boom the explosives expert, ventured over the dune next, he has
a big Slingshot on his Standard Pack and a .44 Trail Carbine on
a shoulder strap,, with 2 .357 Revolvers, 2 Time bombs in his
pack, a Combat knife and 20 sticks of dynamite on a bandolier,
with more in the pack. He carries along with his Standard pack,
2 small ammo bags on his belt and a Pick Axe with bomb parts in
his pack also. Boom was driven mad, when he was attacked by a
Death claw in quarry junction when he was planting a bomb in the
old mother death claw den. The NCR never did a thing to help him
or his fellow miners that were chased out of the quarry by a new
pack of Death claws.
Bobby came over dune next, the sniper and Navigator of the
group, carrying his .308 Bolt Action, scoped rifles, the .44 and
.357 revolvers on his belt along with Machete hanging from his
belt and the cross bow in his Standard pack, along with maps and
a mount for his rifles and a Magazine belt which he uses as his
normal belt. Bobby was a member of the 1st Recon, he copied
Boone in leaving after what happened at Bitter Springs, he hated
himself for it, he no longer wears the red beret, mainly because
the 1st Recon is now a gang of outlaws after they massacred 20
troops at McCarran in an attempt to save the Courier from the
firing squad. He seeks revenge on the NCR for ordering bitter
springs.
Earl the gunslinger and weapon repairer followed close behind,
carrying the 2 .357 Revolvers and Machete on his belt, along
with 10 throwing knifes, a hatchet and 4 Spears on his back with
his Standard Pack containing a gun maintenance kit and a blade
sharpening kit. He was a butcher and a gunsmith for the gun
runners, he lost both jobs because of the NCR and lost all the
caps he had saved to pay the taxes.
Finally Tiger and her dog Spot ventured over the dune. She was
the medic and she carried a 44. Trail Carbine, with a machete
and 3 sticks of Dynamite and an ammo bag, and the rest of the
room on her belt, she had medical supplies and large medical kit
in her Standard pack. She was a doctor for her tribe of hunters,
called the Carnivores, only eating meat of animals, like Geckos.
Her tribe was labelled as Cannibals and were destroyed by the
NCR for no reason.
Spot is a pure brown dog, he is the guard dog for the group and
also carried spare supplies around, he wears a carrying Belt
wrapped around his body, with medical supplies, spare ammo,
rations and water in that belt, he was an NCR tracking dog when
they destroyed the Carnivore Camp, they left him behind he hurt
his leg, Tiger took him and raised him, because he was still
growing at the time he got back to full health and stopped
growing at around 3 years old finally.
They walked along in a big group, getting as far from the recent
ambush as quick as they could, they had a Brahmin following them
also, loaded with anything valuable they couldn't carry. They
were all stokced on the stuff they had stolen from the NCR
caravan and going to find a place sell the stuff or if needed
stock pile it.
Although they all had personal reasons for not liking the NCR,
they all shared the one big reason, the Mojave wasteland is
suffering from the NCR rules, the conscription is closer to
slavery as they serve a longer time and get paid less, innocent
people are killed and the soldiers are wreckless and don't care
about the innocent people they are hurting.
They eventually came to Novac, Manny Vargas spotted them from
his sniper nest and checked around with his scope and then waved
for them to come into the town. They jogged in and straight into
the motel yard where many of the Novac Residents came to greet
them, giving caps, water and ammo in exchange for whatever they
wanted. Dusty McBride brought the Brahmin in exchange for a good
meal for all 8 of them and the dog.
Cliff who had moved his store into the motel lobby gave them the
key to the room they used last time they come into town, after
they had sold everything they went down to the far end of the
motel and opened the door that had boards nailed to it and they
piled in. They dropped their gear, removed extra layers of
clothing and relaxed, listening to the radio.
Novac was the only independent town that Chuck and his gang were
welcomed as they were because they had only been operating the
past few weeks. Chuck had big plans though, but he wouldn't
discuss them with his gang until they were closer and had a lot
better relationship with each other.
----------------------------------------
What do you think lads and ladettes?
I'm planning to have an action packed guerilla warfare story.
I do plan to have some character development,
but this won't be a love story, or a drama, or any over shit
like that.

Cheers Wetbizket and I completely forgot about that, I just
wanted a nickname to suit that character and there you go,

yes OG, It's the greatest game ever. I'll use Mentats to write
this time, actually Party Time Mentats because I have the skill
and the items to create it.
21st October 2283
Chuck left the room early in the morning and stood in the middle
of the yard and took in the fresh morning air, he continued
walking over to the old service station and looked at the
dinosaur standing there, Manny Vargas standing up there watching
over the town like always, especially at night, when it was more
dangerous to be unguarded.
Then he spotted Duke and Earl walking out of the motel courtyard
and across the highway, Chuck reckoned they were going Gecko
hunting over at Clark Field. He thought about joining them but
decided to let them be and went for a walk west, through the
town and up the hill to look over the town, but once he was up
there, he spotted a Platoon of NCR troops marching into town.
This was a problem because Tiger, Indian and Boom are all wanted
by the NCR and they're in the room.
The rest were not wanted but would be arrested for associating
with them and because they all had NCR supplies on them and none
were part of the NCR anymore and that was a crime. A heart was
in his throat once he released what was happening, the platoon
broke into squads and started securing locations around the
town. They were annexing it, by force.
He jumped off the rock and sprinted down the hill, and into
town, he stopped and walked through, hoping he wasn't wanted
also. "Hey Chucky!" Yelled a trooper as he passed the
intersection in the middle of town. "Hey" He said and then
looked at the soldier who said it, it was his old squad from
before when he became a ranger, only two left from the original
squad. "Bambi and Don what are you two still doing in the army?"
Chuck asked containing the hot nervous feeling.
"Can't afford to do just one tour anymore" Don said sharply.
"Yeah, I know" Chuck said checking out the positions trying to
figure out an escape route.
"What are you doing with yourself these days?" Don asked.
"Ah... Traveling and I was just going to get my bags from my
room now" Chuck said.
"Alright, go and get them" He said and then moved to his rifle
in that direction a couple times.
Chuck got moving he walked up the hill and through the gate,
soldiers were checking the first room and others were dragging
out all the residence and searching them, Manny Vargas was among
them.
Chuck went down to the last room and went inside and looked at
the gang as they were getting a meal ready for when Duke and
Earl got back with the gecko. "Shit, listen up, there is an
entire NCR platoon outside and they'll reach this room soon,
Indian, Tiger, Boom change you're look, burn you're hear black,
cut it off, wear it different, Boom shave you're beard ,
sunglasses and get all the NCR logo's of everything, OK, I need
a bomb, no, actually I need both of them. Stay away from the
window, when it shatters run for it, head out the closest hole
in the barrier and into the hills, avoid Nelson, I'll meet up
with you all later" Chuck ordered, Boom upset about having to
shave his beard handed Chuck the two time Bombs he carries.
They started doing what they were told without a question, they
knew exactly what needed to be done, not thinking about anything
but running out that door. Indian hugged Chuck and they kissed.
"be safe, I love you" She said sweetly. Chuck was surprised at
Indian, he'd never seen her show a soft side. "I will he said
and then grabbed his bag and rifle and walked out. He dropped a
bomb at the foot of the barrier and set it for 10 minutes.
He walked out of the yard still planning, he walked across the
bridge and and waved Duke and Earl up to him, they ran up and
dropped the Gecko when they seen what was happening. "What do we
do" Duke asked. Chuck looked at him and sighed. "I don't know"
He said upset with himself.
They looked at him and then he realised, "I need you two to take
a sniping position near the motel, I'm going to blow up a house,
that will distract them, you start shooting, and cover everyone
else when they run out, don't follow them, go a different way
but head east into the hills, don 't stop until you've lost
them, "Don't come looking for me". Chuck ordered, they looked at
each other. "We're not leaving you" Duke said. "Yes you will,
I'm going towards Ranger Station Charlie an doing a loop" Chuck
explained.
"Ok" Earl said and he and Duke walked down onto the highway and
climbed up the wall around the back of the service station, at
the same time, Chuck walked back into town and checked his
watch, he had 2 minutes until that time bomb blew, and he
couldn't shoot the window.
"Don't worry their smart enough to know to run when the bomb
explodes and the bullets start flying.
He managed to get to Jeanie Mays old house without getting
stopped and searched, he set the time bomb for a minute and
threw it through the window and walked away, trying to stay
calm, he walked over to the food tent and looked back, taking
his rifle in both hands, then he looked at a million thoughts
went through his head as his squad walked past the old house. It
exploded, engulfing the entire squad in a ball of flames.
The rest of the gang in the room, herd the explosion and got
ready as the time bomb exploded outside and the window shattered
and door was blown to pieces, the gang sprinted out the door,
Duke and earl opened fire on the NCR soldiers that started
shooting once they seen Tiger. They turned around and fired back
at the two, taking cover behind the old rockets at the Service
Station. Chuck was shaking he was trying to fire his gun but
couldn't, he just turned and ran for it, but was confronted by a
few more NCR troops who were trying to stop him, he shot one of
them and rest opened fire, he darted his body around and fired
at them. Killing the other two, he sprinted away shaking.
Duke and Earl saw this, but weren't discouraged and kept
shooting at the NCR soldiers who were disgruntled and trying to
figure out what was going on. Indian led the gang across the
highway and up the sand and rock hills, they ran across it and
Carly dropped a Gecko as it attacked them, they ran down the
other side and headed for the river. They turned once they seen
Nelson and headed down the road. They came to end and jumped the
rail and kept running until they found an old shack hidden in
the side of the hill.
Duke started popping bullets from his Bandolier into his rifle
as chucked a spear at an NCR trooper advancing on their
position, it stabbed him in the chest. "Duke we need to go" Earl
said as the NCR troopers were started to try and launch an
offensive on their position. "Go, jump and run to the barrier,
then cover me" Duke ordered as bullets flew past.
Earl jumped off the ledge and landed on his feet but feel to his
hands and knees, he run across the highway and took cover behind
the center barrier, he took his revolvers in his scratched and
bloody hands and fired at some NCR soldiers as Duke jumped down
and commando rolled on his side and sprinted to the barrier, not
wasting any time, Earl sprinted up the snad hill and took cover
behind the rocks, having reloaded as he ran.
Duke ran up their also reloading, 10 NCR troopers, an entire
squad reached the barrier where Duke and Earl just were and then
a surprise Duke left for them exploded killing all of them, they
ran for their lives into the hills.
Duke and Earl eventually stopped after jumping off a cliff and
landing on a ledge where they sat, and rested, both panting life
dogs and as wet as Lake Lurks. Earl pulled a slug out of his
shin, that didn't break the bone, he held it out front of him
for him and Duke to examine. "Wimp" Duke said jokingly. Earl
punched him in the shoulder and they shared a laugh. Then duke
rubbed his neck and felt something inside of it. "What fuck"
Duke said as he pulled it and pulled a large metal splinter out
of the side of his neck.
"Girl" Was Earls only response. Chuck got back onto the highway
and walked along it until the exit near the Coyote mines where
he took a detour into the hills to look for his gang.
At the shack where the majority of the gang were hiding Tiger
moved closer to Carly as they were sitting on the ground and put
her arm around Carly. Carly moved away, "Look Tiger, I don't
care, if in you're tribe, a warrior had to have a female wife no
matter what sex they were, we are not in you're tribe" Carly
said frustrated that Tiger was trying this again. "But haven't
you ever been curious as to what it's like to be with a woman?"
Tiger said seductively trying to get her way.
"Judging by the outfit she wears I say shes already tried it"
Indian said as she looked out a hole in the wall, keeping watch.
"Whats that suppose to mean?" Carly said, standing up and very
offended. "Leather pants that hardly fit, Sleeveless Leather
Jacket that barely fits, showing off all the goods, just trying
to seduce every guy you meet" Indian said not taking her eye
from the hole.
"Bitch I wear them tight so they don't fall down and do you
realise, just how hot it is out here in the desert so get your
head out of your arse and mind your own business" Carly snapped.
Bobby and Boom started laughing, "What's so funny?" Carly said
turning and death staring them, "You women, great fighter,
excellent shoots and great survivalists and you're carrying on
like a bunch of whores from the strip" Bobby said. They all
looked at him and then each other and started laughing to, just
realising.
--------------------------------------
I might do it in a first person, character switching way soon,
because I find it really hard to get character development in
3rd person, I'm not as good as Amaris.

I have to agree, G4 lays down those Italian accents perfect, and
Aussie is the true Walking Apocolyspe!!! And OG No one can write
a SR related story as good as you and capture all the characters
in the story so perfectly.
Thats a good idea aussie, going into first person once in a
while, that way you can add more description during battles so
you can feel what their thinking at the time!

21st October 2283
Chuck walked through the maze created by the many hills and
cliffs that tower above the surface of the Colorado River. He
had stopped shaking and came to realise if this was going to
work for him, he had to face the fact that the NCR were going to
loss many soldiers, including the ones he knew.
Duke jumped off the ledge and then caught Earl as he jumped and
almost fell over when he landed, "Come' on" Duke said, they each
made sure their weapons were loaded and started walking through
the gulleys, keeping an eye out for any NCR troops out looking
for them. "Stop, stop, Duke stop" Earl said, Duke turned around
and saw Earl fall onto backside in the sand and start clutching
his ankle, it had started bleeding again. The blood had dried on
the wound while they were waiting, so it stopped bleeding.
Duke walked back and crouched down next t him and looked around
with his rifle and then keeping it pointed, he looked at the
wound, he could see the bone, under the blood, he looked at Earl
and then quickly stuck his fingers on the wound and scooped the
blood out and examined the bone. Earl was covering his own
mouth, trying not to scream in agony. "It's cracked" Duke said
as the wound filled with more blood.
Duke removed his bandana, keeping the hair out of his eyes and
tied it around Earls leg, to stop the bleeding and then put his
rifle on his back, drew his Magnum and picked Earl up, Earl took
his Magnum and Duke helped him walk through the gulley. Then
they herd footsteps behind them. Duke swung around, Earls feet
left the ground and spun around with him, they both pointed
their Magnums at it. "It's only a Gecko" Earl said. The gecko
looked at them and didn't like his chances, being by himself and
ran off.
"I'm going Indian" Bobby snapped, Indian stood between him and
the door. "No you're staying here and waiting for Chuck" She
ordered. "No I'm not, I'm going up the biggest hill I can find
and seeing what is happening in Novac now" Bobby said still
keeping his voice down. "Indian" Carly said. "I'm may be just a
slut, but I can tell it'll be a good tactical move, Bobby spots
the NCR, sees them coming, comes and tells us, we move out, he
sees there not coming, he finds us a way out of here, that
doesn't lead us into NCR territory and he might see Chuck or
Duke and Earl" Carly said supporting Bobby.
"Fine you can go with him" Indian ordered, "Why?" Carly asked,
"Because you're a spotter, going get moving" She said. Bobby and
Carly went outside and started walking uphill, they reached the
top and both laid down in the sand and watched Novac, Bobby was
watching through his scope and Carly was watching through her
Telescope.
-----
Colonel Moore walked through Novac with her Elite 1st Security
Squad she handpicked from former rangers and other elite groups
after the 1st Recon tried to assassinate her as a protest
against the execution of the courier. She was dog piled by
regular troopers and the 1st Recon couldn't get a second shot
after the 1st one clipped her ear.
"Lieutenant , what happened here?" She asked examining the
bodies and the burning wreckage of the house. "We don't know,
this house just exploded and then a couple of guys started
shooting at us, ma'am" He explained to his superior.
"Did you see the 'guys' Lieutenant?" She asked. "No ma'am" The
Lieutenant said, Colonel Moore looked disappointed. She walked
away from the Lieutenant and over to the towns people who were
all being kept by the Motel lobby. "You are all citizens of the
New California Republic now, I hope you all understand the taxes
we will be placing on the town, if you do not or can not pay
them, we ask that you move on to a different town, maybe an
Independent town, where trash like yourself belongs" She said
and then walked off, she had developed an extremely arrogant
attitude towards most people since the Couriers execution.
------
Chuck came along a small corridor formed by the rocks and saw
Tiger helping Duke and Earl into the shack, he ran up the hill
and knocked on the door, Indian opened it with a arrow on her
bow, ready to pierce the skull of anybody not welcome. "Oh
Chuck" She said and dropped the bow and arrow and hugged Chuck
as he walked inside, Bobby and Carly were no more than a few
seconds after him.
Chuck:
I sat in the shack on the old workbench inside watching my gang,
trying to think of a name, something as good as the Khans, the
Kings, the Boomers. Maybe I should ask them when we find
somewhere safe to rest up, we had to move out the moment Tiger
had Earls wound stitched up and his ankle in a brace
comfortably.
I looked around everybody else was preparing, Duke is putting
new bullets in his bandolier, being our main fighter I wish he
would use an automatic weapon, or even a service rifle, not that
bolt action thing, a cross between a Trail Carbine and Hunting
Rifle. I grinned slightly at him, he was inching himself closer
to Carly, bot sitting on the floor, it was like watching kid try
to ask his crush on a date. Bobby was sitting by himself looking
at a map, trying to figure us out a way out of here.
I looked over at Earl, I caught him looking at me and he turned
away, I knew he was going to say something about my freak out in
Novac, maybe I could pass it off as Shell Shock. I just wanted
to go to bed now and start a brand new day tomorrow, but It
wouldn't happen, I need to get my friends out of here.
Bobby walked over to Chuck and leaned against the bench holding
the map he was looking at"An old goat track along the side of
the river and then through Cottonwood Cove, around Searchlight
and up to the Legions old Safe House and we camp their for the
night, then we move along the old tracks and hopefully find cave
or shack or something to set up in for a few days and plan our
next move" Bobby explained to Chuck running his finger along the
route that was to be taken.
"Wait? Cottonwood Cove?" Duke asked, taking his attention from
his Bandolier to Bobby and Chuck. "Yeah Cottonwood Cove" Bobby
said.
"We can't find another way!" Duke said. "It's the only way that
doesn't lead us into an NCR position" Bobby explained. "I'll
kill all of them, we can't go to Cottonwood Cove" Duke said with
an incredibly worried look on his face. "Duke, we can't
Cottonwood cove is the only way" Bobby said. "Fine" Duke gave up
and went back to loading the bullets.
"All done" Tiger said, she and Earl got to their feet and Chuck
jumped off the table, "Come' on let's get moving" Chuck said.
The gang all got their feet and walked out of the shack and
followed Chuck and Bobby as they walked along an old trail,
after a half an hour of walking they came across a small open
area on the trail. "What's that smell?" Indian asked as they all
ventured into this area. "Um, likes look the Legion lost a fight
here" Boom said as he looked at the rotten flesh covered bones
dressed in Legion Armor.
"Can we leave before I throw up?" Indian begged. "Alright,
alright" Chuck said, they continued walking as they did, a
crushing sound could be heard behind them, they turned to see
Duke standing where an intact skull used to be. "What?" He asked
innocently. "Come' on" Chuck said and continued walking, Duke
quickly caught the group as they continued on their journey.

Thanks Wetbizket.
I've decided to have a lot of character development and Drama,
because it will give the characters more depth. But the main
focus will be war and fighting, I just need to get them back in
a spot where they can fight.
21st October 2283
Chuck lead his gang down the old track and onto the sand at
Cottonwood Cove, Duke was already getting nervous, Chuck knowing
Duke didn't want to be here, lead them around the buildings and
not through them, there was still the Legion tents here rotting.
They walked along the tents. Chuck figured the tents weren't
here until the Legion actually gained Control of it, a years
after Duke was stationed here, so it wouldn't upset him as much
Duke suddenly started shaking and he had a intensely upset and
fearful look on his face, he shook so hard he feel to knees and
just looked around, he couldn't speak. It was almost like he was
having seizure. "Get him out of" Chuck said, Earl, Bobby, Tiger
and Boom picked up Duke and the group ran up the hill, dripping
in sweat once they reached the top, they couldn't go anymore and
they all sat down on a small embankment and kept an eye out
while Tiger snapped Duke out of it.
"You alright?" Tiger asked sitting over Duke who was flat on his
back. He looked at her, "did he survive?" Duke asked. "Who?"
Tiger asked. "Jimmy?" Duke said like Tiger was suppose to know
who he was talking about. "Who's Jimmy?" Tiger asked. "You Know
Jimmy my support gunner" He said. "Yes, he's badly wounded but
he'll live, we have to move out now soldier" Chuck butted in.
"Yes sir" Duke and then grabbed his rifle and got to his feet
and saluted. "Move out" Chuck yelled. The gang played along and
moved out in a small squad formation. They followed Bobby and
Chucks lead as Duke did it naturally.
As Searchlight came into view, Duke stopped, "Why are we
jogging?" He asked, Chuck looked at him. "We have to make it to
Nipton, our men our pinned down in the General store. "Chuck,
the Legion are all gone, they were wiped out by the courier, you
were on the dam with him, remember?" Duke asked in confusion.
"Yeah of course, let's get going" Chuck said.
The group kept on going but in a normal group and walking, not
in formation and jogging. The day rounded out with them arriving
at the abandoned Legion Safe house, they didn't know how to get
in without smashing it up, so they slept outside instead around
the camp fire.
Carly:
I felt something move around me, I looked up and saw Duke
stepping over me, he was walking west, I got up and followed
him. I came over the hill and saw him staring at Searchlight the
beautiful green mist hovering above it, even though it was
toxic. I crept up and sat down next to Duke on the side of the
hill. He looked at me with a depressed look. "Whats wrong?" I
asked him cautiously.
"My Freakout, I remember the whole lot" He said bluntly. "It's
okay I understand, you saw the horrors of war there, believe me,
you're not the only one that gets them. Bobby does whenever he
catches an innocent person in his scopes, but it's not as bad
because it happens a lot" I explained.
"No, I seen the horrors often, it's something else" Duke said.
"What, what happened in Cottonwood Cove?" I asked hoping he
would tell me and it would make him feel better.
"It was a distraction, the legion would attack a few different
places along the river and try to spread out forces out, making
us easier targets. 70 of us were stationed there, including me
and best friend, Jimmy" He stopped and looked past Searchlight
and then to me.
"They attacked us from the beach, coming up on rafts, we were
firing from the an old building that was, where the tents are
now. We lost 2 maybe 3 guys, normal losses in war, we expected
it, we accepted it. But they started retreating, after we killed
about 30, 35. Then we saw why, they had us surrounded, almost
200 more were charging at us from the hills around us. We moved
out and set up defensive positions... Me and Jimmy were using an
LMG, he carried an Assault Carbine, my mount and most of my
ammunition, I carried a Service Rifle, the rest of the
ammunition and the Light Machine Gun. We were outnumbered and we
killed only 30 to them killing 35 of us. We had 12 guys left
trying to defend the the cove... I ran out of ammo and we
abandoned the gun and started using our other guns. They were on
top of us by that time. We would get blood spattered on us when
we killed them... We were out of ammo and fighting with the
Legion Machete's, Spears and whatever else we could get. I
recall throwing my helmet at a Legion to distract him while
another soldier stabbed him. Jimmy caught a spear in his stomach
and got pinned to a wall, I tried to pull it out but a legionary
came at me and tried to cut my head off."
I looked at Duke, he wanted to tell me something but couldn't,
"It's okay" I said, "What happened?" I asked in a comforting
tone. He swallowed and looked straight into my eyes.
"I ducked, I ducked the blade cut Jimmy's throat wide open, I
tried to save him the guy stabbed at me, and I moved again, and
Jimmy got stabbed in the chest. I tackled the legion and
strangled him to death. I a speared another one and there was no
more, we had won, 6 men were left. Jimmy would've lived if I
didn't rush to try and move the spear out of him and do you know
what we got from the NCR. Fucking nothing, we were not
commended, we didn't get a monument, we didn't even get leave,
we had to stay and hold the position until another platoon got
there and those were the same idiots that lost it" Duke ranted.
I looked him in the eyes, and saw not a brutal fighter that he
acts like. A broken soldier, just like Bobby and all the over
men and women that the NCR looked over.
I felt terrible for Duke, he looked like he felt better having
gotten that all of his chest. "That Rifle, me and Jimmy built it
when we hoodlums in an NCR town, and everyday I feel like
putting it in my mouth and pulling the trigger, just so I can
say sorry to Jimmy" Duke said. He was serious. "Don't" I said,
"Jimmy would want you to lead a full life, for the both of you"
I said, it as the only thing I could think of that might help
him.
Duke leaned towards Carly and she hugged him, a broken soldier,
and all he wanted was to get the NCR out of the Mojave, before
anymore soldiers end up like him.
22nd October 2283
"Remember this place people, we'll get inside one day and we'll
have a hideout" Chuck said as the gang packed their stuff and
set out, Carly walked next Duke and winked at him, Duke smiled a
little and then Carly caught back up to Indian and Tiger who
were trying to sort out their differences for the sake of the
group.
They walked past the spot where they held the raid a few days
ago and then "Freeze" A Ranger shouted at them.
They all turned around simultaneously and saw the group of
Rangers standing there, Duke raised his rifle at them. "Duke
cool it" Chuck said.
"What are rangers doing out here?" Chuck asked. "Considering the
3 wanted criminals in you're group, that guy with the leg brace,
the weapons ya'll are carrying, I think we're looking for you"
The ranger explained. "Why are rangers skulking around the
desert looking for a small group of people, shouldn't you be out
hunting the remaining Legion soldiers.
"General wait and see says we should wait for them to attack and
the Rangers are not considered elite anymore, we left of us out
here are treated like Grunts". Carly looked straight Duke who
was holding his tongue.
"I suppose you'll taking us in now?" Chuck asked. "pfft, no" The
ranger exclaimed. "We couldn't give a fuck what you are doing,
every ranger left here still in the NCR is whats here in this
group, ever since Hanlon retired we don't get any jobs we used
to, we are just walking around the desert, pretty soon we go to
Goodsprings and then to the strip and party, and travel around
and say we are tracking you guys" The Ranger said, with a
chuckle.
"Ah we then you'll leave us alone?" Chuck asked, "yeah do
whatever you want, we don't care" The ranger said and then he
and his rangers walked off, without another word. "What just
happened?" Chuck asked. "I think the Rangers just abandoned the
NCR?" Indian said. "what do we do?" Chuck asked. "Think of a way
to use it" Indian said. Chuck looked at her and nodded. "Come'
on let's get out of here" He said and then lead his gang towards
Nipton as the Rangers followed the tracks.
