Coastal Wasteland (Fallout) [Finished]

---------------------------------------------------------
Authors note: This story is a direct Fanfiction of the Fallout
series and will take place in an area that is part of the Saints
Row franchise.
I do not own any of this, they belong to Volition and Bethesda.
Ayngel was this what we are suppose to do to keep us out of
trouble?
Chapter 1: The Valley in which life passes
1st July 2298
I stepped up onto a rock and looked out over the land I was
about to cross, hills, cliffs and valleys before a distinct
change in the colour of the ground, the border of the Coastal
Wasteland as it is called, on that border I could see a small
group of buildings, I would go there and camp for the night
before continuing my adventure tomorrow.
The sun was directly over me, it was around midday, I had taught
myself to tell time by the location of the sun, a skill which
was essential for travelers like myself. I Jumped off the rock
and continued following the windy gravel path around the hill, I
come across a dead traveler left at a campsite, his body was a
few days old, he was left with all his valuable possessions and
a message carved in the dirt wall above him.
"In memory of Bullet, died of radiation sickness, loved always
by his friends, thank you for your help in this life". That one
message carved in the compact dirt wall reminded me of my
friends I left behind in the Vault.
The Year was 2285 I was 5 years old, as were my friends,
Lauclan, Kieth and Jessica. We met in class and were friends
throughout our entire childhood. Keith was also part of the cool
kids so he didn't always hang out with us and Lauclan was also
part of the technical group. They were the smart ones. So
sometimes it was me and Jess on our own, since we had no other
friends. This lasted all the way to goat and beyond, we all knew
we would be friends forever.
I walked down the goat track and into a valley, on a hill to one
side was an entire military of Tribal warriors. They all noticed
me and didn't seem to care I was crossing their turf. I kept my
M14 ready though. Then I noticed they entire Tribe was rallying
and charging into the valley. I panicked then I felt the ground
rumbling, I liked behind me, a Super mutant Behemoth was
charging straight through the valley. I started running.
I didn't want to be involved in this and I knew I would die If I
was caught by either side or in the hail of bullets and
explosives that were about to be unleashed. I turned around and
had enough time to think about how much that giant hand was
going to hurt, just before it hit me. I fly through the air like
a rag doll.
I remember the day of the G.O.A.T, because my mother and father
were a doctor and a surgeon everybody expected me to be in the
medical career path. That didn't happen, I became a repair
engineer. I mainly focused on the water system and the
surronding areas. Jess became a surgeon herself, Lauclan was
named a Chef and Kieth was selected to be a guard once he
finished 4 years of his security maintenance occupation. After
the G.O.A.T we were going to celebrate our results when a few
guys started hitting on Jess, they persisted when she told them
to beat it. So I stepped in, me Lauclan and Kieth took on 8 guys
and won in a brawl, defending Jess. That night we had a small
party and I lost of my virginity as did Jess. We never spoke of
that because it make stuff awkward between our small group.
I hit the ground hard, tearing my shirt and taking skin of my
back and right shoulder and got up and tried to run again, I
turned just in time to see a Tribal nutcase fire a mini nuke at
the Behemoth blowing it to the ground 3 or 4 pieces. The force
of the impact sent my flying into the dirt some more. A rock cut
my head open and pierced my cheek. I got up and ran into the
remnants of an old house located near the edge of the valley,
before hills and old dead trees. I dived into it as a few Tribal
guys used it for cover. I got right up against the other side of
their cover.
"Fuck!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, then a missile hit near
by, blowing dirt, bricks and pieces of wood covering my,
cutting, scratching and bruising me even more. I covered me head
as super mutant Master sprayed down the tribal guys with a mini
gun. Another missile hit near by and covered me in rubble and
dirt. Which protected me from being turned into another piece of
lead filled meat by that Super Mutant.
The day we all learned the truth about Vault Tec, the original
purpose of our Vault. Vault 66. Was to see how long it would
last with a single person with any mechanical abilities would
last. But when the occupants turned up, only 600 of the 1000
people turned up so, they let a passing convey in, filling it up
to 950 and 250 of those people had beyond basic mechanical
knowledge and soon learned to operate the equipment, no-one had
ever realised that the people they let in we're the only ones
who knew how to fix anything.
I got up and ran for it, my bag caught, I left and made sure I
didn't lose the leather pouch on my belt, that had a 3rd of my
caps and all personal stuff inside. I took my M14 and shot a
Tribal in the face as he chased me. I was a precision shot, the
bullet hit him directly below the right eye. I became an expert
hunter before I ventured out on this trip.
It was the day that would forever stick in my wind, the day that
big door slid open and men dressed in pointy power armor charged
in. I now know it was the Enclave and they were searching Vaults
in search of a G.E.C.K and supplies. They started killing
everybody, my family was slaughtered right in front of me. I ran
for it, meeting up with Jess, Lauclan and later on Kieth who all
had similar situations. We ran for the door, we got out, Lauclan
was shot in the back and killed as we jumped out the door.
Lasers hit a car left outside the Vault on the road, it
exploded. I tackled jess and shielded her.
Lauclan was mortally wounded, then a big flying thing landed, I
know now it was a machine called a Verti-bird. Landed and caused
a dust storm along side the smoke that was clouding the area. I
carried lauclan out into the wasteland but we were seperated
from Jess. Lauclan died in my arms a few hours later and I spent
the next 27 hours looking for Jess, before i returned to the
Vault with no luck. Along with all my friends everybody in the
Vault was dead and a good majority of the Vault Equipment.
I was found sleeping on a burned out car by a group of
Mercenaries who came to investigate what happened.
I took down another Tribal before the last one shot me in the
leg, "Ah Fu-u-ck, Fu-u-ck" I shouted as blood sprayed out of my
leg like a sprinkler. I put 8 bullets from my 10mm pistol into
the last Tribal, I put my side arm back in my pocket and tried
to get up and run. I just collapsed again. The pain was
excruciating, nothing but fear was driving my through this. I
was covered in dirt, blood, torn clothes and cuts. I crawled
along trying to get to safety. But I knew I was done for.
I lived in the Mercenaries compound for a week, before I started
cleaning and maintaining their weapons for them, after a week of
that, I was given and rifle and taught to hunt for 16 hours a
day for 8 days straight. I explained to the mercenaries all
about the Vault and all the equipment that might be in there
they could use, we spent an entire day get stuff from the Vault
and bringing it back to the compound.
I was taught all about the Carolina Wasteland which is where I
was located and I was taught all about the East Coast, Super
Mutants, Tribes, Raiders, Enclave, Brotherhood of Steel,
Slavers, the Capital Wasteland, the Lone Wonderer and all the
shit that went down their back in 77. I was taught everything
they could teach me. Then one day the head of the Mercenaries
came to me and said.
"Aaron Rocco... I have a very good source saying their is
Rocco's and Normans in the Coastal Wasteland".
That was music to my ears, mine and Jess's families had been
spotted in the Coastal Wasteland. They spent the rest of the
month I was there teaching me all about the Coastal Wasteland
and preparing me for it. Then on the 29th of June I started
walking to the Coastal Wasteland in search of a true home
I rolled onto my back and looked as a Super Mutant Overlord was
coming at me with a mini gun, I quickly fired at him, the bullet
went straight through his eye, he dropped dead straight away. I
was amazed, usually, I would've used all my ammo, just slowing
him down. But I didn't let the shock stop me.
I got to my feet and stumbled through the trees leaving the
battle behind me, I ran up a hill and dropped at the feet of 4
men in power armor. I looked up at men, they were the
brotherhood of Steel, two had Fat Man on their soldiers and many
mini nukes between them.
"What the fuck we're you doing in there?" The BoS member asked.
"Fucking idiots attack each other as I was crossing the valley"
I said while blood dribbled out of my mouth.
I slowly stood up and looked directly at one of their helmets,
it was scratched up and dinted, probably because of the amount
of fights he's been in. "Get moving local we need to clear this
mess up" He basically told me to fuck off. I kept walking along
the trailer, It was a lot easier not having all those supplies
on me. But all the wounds and gashes made up for it.
As the sun was going down I stumbled into the town I had spotted
earlier that day... "Holy Hell what happened to you?" Someone
asked as I limped down to the main stretch of the town, where
all the shops and houses were. "Fucking Tribe, Fucking Mutant,
Fucking Fight, Fucking Valley" I said and kept walking straight
into a medical office right next to a saloon.

I hope everybody enjoys reading this as much as I enjoyed
writing this and if someone could give me some proper copyrights
details and that so I don't get us in trouble, that'd be really
good of yous. Cheers.

Thanks Wetbizket. I was hoping those Flashbacks would have a
good effect. Yes there will be more to this story and I hope
more people will comment soon. Remember if there is anything
wrong anyone sees with this story, please tell me, so I may
avoid it.
Entering the Coastal Wasteland
1st July 2298
I took another swig of whiskey and looked back at my revealed
leg, while the doctor had a surgical instrument jammed in the
bullet hole in my leg, that he cut even more so he could
retrieve the bullet. I took another swig... "Fuck" I yelled as
he stabbed me inside the bullet wound.
"Almost got it" The doctor said and continued digging, he pulled
it out with a popping sound and then blood started spraying out
again. "He slammed a rag on it and held it down. It took some
rope and tied the rag there. He looked at me, while he was
taking off the gloves and putting them in the bucket of water
near-by.
"You know most people wouldn't have survived that, they get shot
and the bullet doesn't go straight through, they usually don't
make it" The doctor said to me. I nodded and brushed my hair
back, he grabbed the sowing kit and cleaned the blood of my face
and started sowing up my wounds, like someone would a shirt.
"Now Aaron, I'm the only one here that's been to the Coastal
Wasteland and that was 20 years ago... But what I can tell you
is: The settlements are all on islands or old ships, or in the
Stilwater Ruins, now the ground just seems to have replaced the
water. Because the islands go straight to the dirt. It is
believed this was caused by an earthquake when the bombs landed,
but no-one knows for sure.
The North and West of Stilwater is all land with rivers, rolling
hills, old corals, sunken ships, deep canyons and trenches and
another weird thing is, the ground that was under the ocean,
seems to have risen to what was sea level. Most of the islands
are settlements now and so are the old sunken ships and areas of
noticeable vegitation or structures. The Super Mutants in the
area turned up in 2222 when 3 Masters lead a small army of 1
Behemoth, 4 Overlords, 7 Brutes and about 15 normal super
mutants to the area"
I remembered the details given to me before I left, I hadn't
even made it to the Coastal Wasteland and I'd almost died, 30
minutes passed before the doctor finally finished and I fell
asleep on the old couch in his practice. I came to early the
next morning. I walked outside into the town and looked around,
a man was milking the Brahmin while another was delivering
bottles to all the homes.
I sat down on the porch and watched the town go through it's
normal routine, the night guards we're going to their quarters
while the new guards were taking over. A trader wondered into
town and sat down outside the general store and started going
through his stuff. The thought that crossed my mind, was how I
could kill him, take his stuff and run; but I wasn't that kind
of person, I was raised to be kind and friendly until the same
wasn't shown back to me.
I slid forward off the porch onto my feet and walked into the
saloon next door, it was almost empty except for a couple
mercenaries, the bar keep, 2 local prostitutes and about 4 local
men. The 4 were throwing knifes at the wall with a small target
on the wall.
"What's going on?" I asked as I walked in.
"Well, if it isn't our very own war dog" One of the Mercenaries
said.
"The names Aaron" I said to him.
"Very well Aaron, see these fine gentlemen throwing knives? Well
they owe the bar keep money and well we just happen to have a
shit load of caps and need some entertainment, so 40 caps to
whoever can hit that target with the knife" That same Mercenary
explained.
I picked up a knife and threw it, I hit the target first go, the
Mercenary smiled and happily gave me the 40 Caps in a small
bag... "60 more if you can do it again" The other one said. I
some how got a second time. I was very lucky to get both times.
He gave me 60 Caps and I put 10 Caps down on the table. "My
contribution to who ever gets the next bulls eye" I said and
then walked back outside the saloon. The doctor met me there.
"Look kid, your wounds seem okay, I examined them just before
you woke up, i recommend you stay in town for another night and
then leave, just so we can keep an eye on your wounds, and you
owe me 55 caps" He explained to me. I handed him 55 Caps and
nodded and then walked over to a table and sat down.
I counted all my keeps I had in my pouch and the remaining caps
after that morning, I had 255 caps. I needed new clothes, more
supplies and more ammo. I waited for the General store to open
so I could spend the caps.
I remember the first person I ever killed, I was hunting a
Rad-Hog, I had been tracking him for hours when I came across a
raider, he was carrying an assault rifle and what looked like a
mini nuke and a stick of dynamite with a timer attached. He
spotted me and chased me with his rifle. I jumped behind a rock
and fired at him with my bolt action hunting rifle. He took
cover behind an old tree.
I rested the rifle against the rock to make it seem like I was
still there.
I was very scared and I didn't know what to do, if it was a Yao
Guia I would've killed it easily, I was trained to hunt none
stop, so I knew how to kill. I managed to get the jump on the
raider and sliced open his throat with my 16 inch Machete. I
remember the blood spraying all over the tree and the ground. I
had seen it come from animals, but never humans. I took my rifle
and the contraption along with all the raiders other supplies
and walked back to the compound. I never did catch that pig.
I went inside the general store and brought everything I needed,
I had to barter like crazy but I got all the stuff I needed, her
prices were unreasonably high, I mean she had no shortage of
costumers.
Something I was taught during my time with the Mercenaries was
to buy the basics and modify them yourself.
I had done exactly that. I took of the old rags I had on and put
on a red wife beater top and slipped a black leather armor top
over it, I put the pair of black and red cargo pants on and then
put my boots back on. I put on a belt with two holsters on it. I
put on a cowboy hat and a pair of Aviator sunglasses because
they were the cheapest I could buy.
I slung my 14 over my shoulder with attached a little bag to my
shoulder armor to carry ammo cartridges. I holstered my 10mm
pistol and put some ammo in a small pouch next to it on my belt.
I stuck a big hunting knife in the other holster and tied a
sawed off shotgun to my belt and stuff put some ammo again in a
small pouch next to it. I took a satchel I brought and put all
my spare ammo and food inside it and put it on my back. I stuck
my boot knife back where it goes and put my filled up water
bottle in a pocket in my pants. I stood up and walked over to
the saloon and sat at a table and ended up sleeping there.
I stayed another night, because I still couldn't walk properly,
so I took a job, harvesting a Yao Guai those two Mercenaries had
captured and killed. They weren't very common in this area, I
was told, so I used every bit of it I could. I took all the bits
that were used as a drug and all the bits that could be used for
meat. I maintained the skin and fur as it would be good clothing
and the bones were really useful at times as well. They gave me
a room for the night and 50 caps for that and on the 4th of July
I left the small town.
In The Vault the 4th was always celebrated heavily, it was
because of some independence or something, they were quite clear
on their details and I never learned that part of history. I
remember we had to celebrate it anyway.
Out here; nobody gave a mole rat shit about the date, no one
even knew what was so special about the day when I asked them,
let alone gave a crap. I planned to have a drink where ever I
would camp for the night and remember all the good times I had
on this date in the Vault.
------------------------------------
OK sorry about this Chapter, it wasn't as good as the first, but
it will get better and I will improve my writing a bit for it.
The next few chapters won't be written like, he won't skip days
a time and give brief summeries of what he did for a day, in the
middle and especially not at the end of the chapter....

Chapter 3: The Harsh and the Violent
4th July 2298
I walked across the Wasteland, just scanning my surroundings,
and nothing else. I found what I assumed was an old reef. I
looked at it for a few moments and then climbed up on it and
looked out and around the Coastal Wasteland. I could see the
Stilwater Ruins in the far distance. I remember it being
mentioned it would be a 12 hours walk across the wasteland, from
the hills to the waters edge.
I jumped down and started walking again and eventually I came
across a small group of settlers sitting around a camp site...
"Hold it there Mercenary!" One said as he approached me with his
rifle. I put both my hands where he could see them and slowly
walked towards me and he looked me over.
"State your business" He ordered, I stood silently for a few
seconds. "State your business!" He yelled. By now all the
settlers had come up; a few more had guns; and they were pointed
directly at me... "I'm looking for somewhere safe to have a
break, I've been walking since Northern Port" I said and they
weren't ready to believe that.
"Why didn't you stop at Executioner?" The obvious leader of the
pack asked... "Where's that?" I asked... "About 3 Hours north"
He said.
I remembered back for a moment and then spoke. "Submarine on an
Island?" I asked... "Yeah" He said... "I'd been walking about 2
hours, I didn't need a break then and besides I could only see
it in the distance when I was on the top of a ridge" I
explained.
They seemed to believe that, look we don't want no-one we can't
trust, so listen up A big town called Intersect mountain is
about 3 hours due south... But if you want some caps we gotta a
job for you" The Settler leader explained... "How many caps and
whats the job?" I said.
"Well east of here about 20 minutes is a cabin built about 50
years ago by some ghouls, but they have all gone feral since and
so they wouldn't be a threat to anyone, looked themselves
inside, we want that Cabin to open up a traders post and rest
stop... We want you to kill all the ghouls in the cabin and
we'll pay you 50 caps" He said explained in detail.
"300 Caps, ghouls are dangerous" I ordered.
"100 Caps" The Settler said
"200 and I get a canteen of water" I reasoned.
"Fine, go and kill the damn things and come back, we'll have
your damn caps ready and your 'canteen of water' " He mimicked
me.
"I want my ammo replaced" I demanded.
"Hell no" He snarled.
"You just insulted me you piece of shit, I want 10 bullets for
my M14 when I get back along with my payment" I demanded.
"Fine" He shouted and said nothing else.
I hitched up my bag and rifle and started walking east...
"Fucking bastards" I said to myself. I knew I was greedy and I
knew I was being unreasonable, but I needed caps and water and I
was wasting ammo, so I felt I needed to be compensated fully.
Ghouls were no joking matter. They were zombies, at least the
feral ones.
I walked over the top of a hill and saw a cabin built at the
base of cliff side, with a windmill and a pile of wood around,
it looked like they were building more but went feral before
they could. I walked over to the cabin and looked inside the
glass window. It was truly amazing they put glass windows into
the this. I threw myself backwards as a ghoul slammed itself
against the glass and growled.
I went back over to the window and looked in, they're were about
4 or 5 roaming around. I grabbed my rifle and stuck it through a
hole in the wall and shot one. It's head split into two and it
hit the ground dead. I sighed and took another shot, hitting the
next one in the head as well, destroying it. Now all the ghouls
were coming to where the noise was coming from. I hit another
dead in the head. I fired another shot killing two at once.
I killed 3 more, emptying the room; I went over to the door and
moved the wooden plank from in front of it and went inside, I
checked the netire house and went back outside to where 3
raiders were waiting for me. Bullets hit the front of the house.
I dashed into cover and kept my head down, as bullets hit the
fence along the porch of the cabin. I reloaded my weapon because
I knew I hadn't. I popped up and shot in the chest and ducked
back down.
More bullets trashed the front of the cabin... "Fuck off, before
i gotta kill you other two" I shouted, I was just improvising
with this entire situation, I'd never been in this situation nor
be trained for it before... The two raiders laughed and then the
third one yelled at me. I didn't kill him. This pissed me off.
I popped up again and pulled the trigger repeatedly and rapidly,
wounding the all ready wounded raider and killing the other two,
I came out from cover with my rifle butt stock against my
shoulder and the barrel pointed at the three bodies. The last
one looked at me with a look of forgiveness... "Please, I'm
sorry, I'm sorry, I'll stop being a raider, have mercy please"
He begged.
"How many people have you ever shown mercy, how many people have
tortured, slaughtered and mutilated?" I said... He looked at me
with a blank look on his face. I pulled the trigger and used the
last bullet in my magazine to blow his brains out all over the
dirt. I looked at the other two, bullets holes revealing their
insides.
I took a few armor plates from their gear, their ammo, food and
weapon parts one had some caps on him, I took them and started
walking back to the settler camp. Upon arrival I was greeted by
nothing but two settlers with their hunting rifles pointed
directly at me.
"On your knees now" The one i was talking to early demanded... I
sighed; "Why not just give me what I want and let me go" I
asked... "Nope we were never going to give you anything, it's
easier to just to kill and take your stuff. I quickly drew my
knife and slammed it into the chest of the other settler and
elbowed the other one and put my knife straight on his throat.
I held the knife to his throat as i picked him up and walked him
to a tent where I got the things I was promised upon completion
of the job and then stabbed him in the leg and walked away. He
laid in camp screaming for me to come back. He eventually
started taking pot shots at me. I was far enough away his
bullets wouldn't even make it this far.
I walked for another few hours and eventually reached a place
called Intersect mountain, it was an Island with what looked
like an old port, I walked into town where I was greeted by a
man in a duster coat and a head wrap... "What can I do you for
Stranger?" He asked.
"I just want some where with a cold drink and good food" I said
briefly. "Intersect pub, down near the soft sand. Can't miss it,
also the general store is near the old slipway over there and a
doctor to look at this stiches is just behind me here" He
explained in a friendly tone.
"Thank you friend, I'm Aaron by the way" I said matching his
tone... "It's no problem and everybody calls me Captain, so
maybe you should too" He said grinning. "Alright Captain I'll go
and explore the town" I said and walked away. It was a large
town, It must have a population of at least 100. I walked into
the saloon and sat down.
A pretty young lady came over to me and asked me what I would
like, before I could make an order and man put a gun to the bar
keepers head and another put an assault rifle to the waitresses
back. A third one started giving orders.
"Nobody move, and nobody will die" He shouted. One man stumbled
a little bit and he was shot in the face, his right side of his
face was blwon off and he hit the table and landed on the
ground. A woman screamed and dropped to her knees to check her
husbands pulse. "Right your next" He shouted and they dragged
her to the open space and put a gun to the back of her head. I
stood up and slung my M14 around into my hands and fired as the
robber fired at me.

Okay Really guys, if you didn't like the chapter, or the entire
story. Just comment and tell me what I am doing wrong and tell
me how I may fix it. I've never done a story like this and I
want to do it right.
Wasteland Justice
4th July 2298
My Bullet took his hand off completely, with the gun still
grasped tightly by the fingers, he dropped to his knees
screaming, I shot at another one, I missed, but the bar keeper
took the split second my shot gave him to blow the robbers eyes
out the front of his head with a sawed off shotgun...
"Surrender!" Another customer yelled holding a revolver to his
head.
He didn't murdered the costumer, I fired 3 more shots as the
last robber ran for cover, I took cover as he started firing all
randomly. The bar keeper ducked behind the bar and the rest of
the costumers knocked tables over and hid behind them, or near
by walls. I popped up and pulled the trigger 13 more times,
bullets penetrated his cover he screamed.
The bar keeper moved up and rushed the spot, while I fired the
last of my clip to keep him down in cover, the bar keeper swung
his pistol down and hit the robber. I didn't see where because
he was behind cover. Next minute the local the sheriff burst in
the door with an Assault Rifle in his hand. I reloaded as I
grabbed the one handed robber by the neck. The bar keeper
dragged the other robber out into the open while the Sheriff
examined the scene.
The Sheriff and a few costumers dragged the two robbers out of
the bar, I stayed inside and looked at the barkeeper dragged the
body to the door and grabbed a bucket of water and rag and
started cleaning the blood of his floor. I walked out afterwards
and saw the sheriff standing over the two robbers, that were
tied up on the ground.
"What are you going to do with them?" I asked as looked at the
robbers.
"Hang them at sunset" The sheriff explained.
"Okay... Look I'm Aaron and you might be able to help me" I said
directly.
"Sheriff Green and what do you need?" The sheriff introduced
himself and asked.
"I'm looking for a girl, Jess Norman, herd of her?" I asked
again directly cutting straight to the chase.
"Don't know Jess, but I do know of Normans living in one the
towns around the Ruins, maybe Overwatch, Isolated Fortress,
Soft-sand Caverns, Canyon or Ancient Hill" The Sheriff listed a
few places I should look.
"Thank you Sheriff, I appreciate it" I thanked him and I walked
away, heading to a small shop up from the bar, we're I brought
some ammunition and some spare parts for my rifle. I walked down
near the old docks and brought a sheet and a couple folding
sticks, to make a tent. I put a few sharp sticks and with the
rest of my money I brought some rations, and a Brahmin Steak.
I strolled down to a small campsite, obviously used a lot and
got the fire going in the spot and set up my tent, I put my
satchel down and rested my rifle against a rock at the campsite.
I sat there and cleaned up my rifle and counted my caps until
sun set, when I seen all the towns people carrying the two
surviving robbers down to a structure at the end of one of the
ports. I got up and followed. I quickly rushed back and grabbed
my rifle and followed them down to the end of the port.
I stood back and watched as the two criminals were read their
crimes and then hanged from the structure at the end of the
dock. I noticed the last one was laying under them, then to my
surprise I noticed they had a message written on a sing tied to
his body. I caught a glimpse of what it said. Crimes will be
punished by Death.
I knew these people did not fuck around, I quickly went back to
the campsite and sat down and started cooking my meal.
My family and some others from around the Vault were lined up
and shot in a firing squad, I was held back, because they were
going to kill me seperatly. I saw the man who ordered it, a
pure, clean face except for a distinctive scar under his eye. He
had a jaw line beard and no hair. His face was kind of pointy I
remember it clear as day.

Thanks Amaris every comment helps, especially as I want to try
and pump a chapter out each day. Because Fallout is so damn
epic.
Chapter 5: Reaching Overwatch
5th July 2298
The 1st Of June, it was hotter than normal in the vault, I was
having breakfast with my friends in the diner, when it happen,
we scattered to go find our families. I saw mine get executed
but I being as strong as I am managed to get out of the tight
grip and run for. I met up with Jess and Lauclan who had both
witnessed almost exactly as I had, except they weren't held
back, they had watched from a safe place. As we ran for it, we
met Keith who's father had gone done firing his pistol rapidly
at the Soldiers. I remember as we ran out the Vault door that
had been blown wide open and the cave around it that we were
always told about was gone too, it was straight out onto a small
slope before onto the road, that's where the car exploded. We
watched in Horror as Lauclan rolled down the hill like a rag
doll. Blood pouring out of the hole in his back.
I shot up and looked around, I had my hand on my rifle;
breathing deeply I rubbed my eyes with my free hand and stood
up, and held me rifle in both hands as I looked around my camp.
Then I remembered it was only a dream. I sat down to the
smouldering fire and poked it a couple times and moved it
around, getting the coals to turn into small flames, they grew
into a fire slowly as I put more sticks and stuff on it.
I took a Nuka Cola and took 3 Mirelurk Cakes from my Satchel,
they were really nice to eat considering the hideous monster
they come from, I packed up my camp after I ate cakes and drank
my Cola and walked up to the pub. I went in and there was a song
playing I looked around for the man playing it. Turns out it was
from a radio. "Tell em, that gods gonna cut em down" The singer
went, I sat at the bar and listened to it.
A different man came out from the bar keep yesterday afternoon.
"What are ya after?" He asked politely.
"Some information" I said
"What do ya want to know?" He asked, picking up a glass and
small piece of clothes and started wiping it out.
"Whats the quickest way to a town called Soft sand Caverns?" I
asked
"Well it's about 6 hours walking time to a place called
Overwatch SSE of here and then keep going SSE, you'll come
across it" He said.
"Thank you" I said and got up and left the pub as the song
ended.
I walked out of town and followed my compass, me not knowing the
wasteland it might take me 7 or 8 hours but not an entire day to
cover half that distance. Now I think about it, I think I have
been lied to, it wouldn't be 12 hours across the wasteland, at
least a day, 24 hours, I believe.
I followed the tracks that were worn into the ground, coming
across some wild life, nothing attacked me, some Mirelurks were
swimming in a pond, a Yao Guai did spot me, but a well placed
shot to the soft spot on it's head, killed it easily. Thats what
most people don't do. They just start shooting, they don't aim
for weak spots, I've been out of the Vault just over a month now
and I'm smarter than that.
I came across a small abandoned camp, I looked around it,
nothing, they must have just packed up and left and I started
walking out of the camp when I herd the sound of a mine about to
explode, I had set one of before and I was saved by my Mercenary
friends. I ran and jumped as it exploded, sending my flying
through the air. I got up and quickly and ran as 3 tribal guys
chased me with large machetes.
I pulled out my pistol and fired killing one as he rushed me, it
jammed as the second and third reached me, I grabbed it in my
left hand and used my right to try and clear the jam, punched
one of the Tribal guys in the face, knocking him into dirt, the
other swung his Machete hit pistol, it damaged the gun, I used
it again to block the second swing, completely wrecking the gun,
the third shot cut my arm, really deep. Blood instantly covered
me arm. I ducked a swing and grabbed the revolver out of the
Tribal guys holster and shot him in the heart, repeatedly until
he fell over.
I looked up as the other Tribal guy ran at me Machete high above
his head, I pointed my revolver at him and pulled the trigger,
it clicked, the Tribal guy stepped on a mine, I could hear it
beep, he panicked and tried to run, it exploded just as he took
of foot of it, he flew through the air and landed near by, with
his guts hanging out where his legs once were.
I rushed over to him as he laid there silent excepting death, I
stared at him and he stared back, he nodded, "Worthy Foe" He
muttered and then stopped breathing and blinking. I sighed and
looked at my arm, I tore a piece of the Tribal guys clothes and
cleaned the blood off and tied it on the wound, to stop the
bleeding. I took all the ammo and food I could and the two
Machetes I could find.
I looked at the bodies one more time, one had Teenaw carved into
his arm, I shrugged they are Tribal after all and kept walking
along the trail, and not long after I could see Overwatch, the
massive Island, with a hill in the middle of it, it looked as
though it had a military base on top of the hill. I walked to it
quickly, much quicker than I was traveling with my leg and
wounds they previous few days. I got to the bottom of the hill
and walked up one of the many trails in it, reaching the
buildings that were built on the the side of the hill in no
time.
I got to the top of the hill and looked, all the shacks were
scattered everywhere, many saloons, brothels, and barracks also,
with two gun stores, one appeared to be more for Mercenaries and
stuff and the other was guarded by Brother of Steel Guys, so I
think that may be an armory. Given that the Brotherhood is all
over this town.
I walked around the town more and saw the old Military Base,
with Brotherhood of Steel guys everywhere, the sign outside was
Delta Bravo, I nodded in the realisation that this must have
been the major BoS outpost in the area. I learned that they had
the Citadel in DC, some this is what gave me the thought. It
must have been around 3 in the afternoon and not wanting to hang
around a Brotherhood stronghold.
I continued my journey down the other side of the hill and again
across the wasteland, I could see what I believed was the
Stilwater City Ruins I had been told was a haven for gun fights.
Only the mad and brave ever ventured in there. The sun was going
down as I reached the long Strip of Soft Sand, I walked up and
saw an old gasoline station and old caves behind. It walked
towards them when I noticed guard patrols scouting the area. I
walked straight toward what looked like the entrance.
