《Into The Fallout World》


 Into The Fallout

    Man, Fallout 4 is a blast. I hope Bethesda makes more of this stuff.


    Hi, my name is Eugene Elanoire. I''m 30 years old and my hobby is gaming. What''s my favorite game? Fallout series. It''s basically my life. I can name every character, event, location, timeline, anything in the Fallout series. I just finished Fallout 4 a couple of minutes ago. I need to buy the DLC''s. Right now, I need to sleep. Haven''t slept for like 2 days.


    I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes. Just like I expected, I can''t go to sleep. I need to play the DLC''s. I grudgingly tried to keep my eyes from opening. Then, I feel like I was slapped really hard in the face. I opened my eyes and my bedroom''s ceilings turns into a bright and blue sky. I hear a voice calling me.


    "Hey, ya twat. Ya hearing me or not?"


    "Huh? What?"


    "What do you mean ''what?'' Get movin! Don''t lie in floor ya stupid slave!"


    It''s a Legionary from Fallout New Vegas. Judging by his clothes, he''s a Legionary decanus. A legionnaire with the authority to run small camps. I looked at him with amazement.


    "What are ya looking at ya twat? Keep movin!"


    "Nothing."


    It seems that I''m a slave to the Caesar''s Legion. A faction in the Fallout world based on the Roman Empire. It is ruled by Edward Sallow, otherwise known as Caesar. If this is the Caesar''s Legion, that means this is the event of Fallout New Vegas. I asked the Legionnaire about the year.


    "Hey, legionnaire."


    "What?"


    "What year is it?"


    "You hit your head or something? It''s November 27 Twenty-Two fucking 81. Make sure you don''t hit your head again ya twat. Now keep movin!"


    November 27. That means It''s almost the intro of New Vegas. The courier will get shot in the head and saved by Doc Mitchell. I need to break out of this cage and meet the courier. The only problem is, there are too many legionnaire here. I need to wait until night, if this is the Fallout world. A couple of bobby pins is enough for me to get out. I closed my eyes to wait until the night falls.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.


    After several hours...


    I opened my eyes. Night already falls. It looks like every legionnaire is sleeping. I looked around the floor for bobby pins. Amazingly, there''s one bobby pin lying on the ground. I grabbed it and picked the lock of the cage door. A weird feeling when picking the lock arises. It feels, unreal. I rotated the lock and the door was open. I crouched and walked silently to a nearby stack of crates. It''s full of supplies I guess.


    I opened one of the crates to find something. It was a Powder-Ganger jacket and a brown cargo pants. A group of escaped convicts that formed a faction called the Powder Gangers. I grabbed the jacket and the cargo pants and wore them. After wearing them, I sneaked away to the edge of the camp and ran as fast as I could from it.


    I saw a merchant passing by with a brahmin in afar. I ran to him to ask for directions.


    "Hey! Wait!"


    "Huh?"


    He turned around and I noticed something familiar about him. His clothing, face, everything about him seems familiar. He is Ringo.


    "Hey, step back! That''s far enough"


    He pulled a 10mm to me. Maybe it''s because of the Powder Ganger jacket. I raised my hand up.


    "No. I''m not a Powder Ganger. I just scavenged this jacket."


    "How can I trust you?"


    "Look, you gotta trust me. I don''t know how I can make you trust but please trust me. I can help you. Just put the gun down."


    he lowered his gun down.


    "Now, make it quick?"


    "Ok, first. Where am I?"


    "We''re near Cottonwood Cove. One of Caesars outposts."


    "Cottonwood Cove? Shit. Ok now, you''re heading to Goodsprings right?"


    "Yeah, how''d ya know?"


    "Ok, now look. I don''t have any caps or anything but can you give me a weapon or something?"


    "Now, why would I do that?"


    "Because I don''t have one?"


    "How about this. Let''s make a deal. You help me guard my caravan. And I''ll pay you for about 100 caps until Goodsprings."


    "Deal."


    "Nice. Now, here''s a rifle."


    He threw a Varmint Rifle to me. I catched it and proceeded the journey to Goodsprings.


    To Be Continued.... dun dun.

 Joe Cobbs encounter

    It''s been 2 week since I went with Ringo as his caravan guard. Today is 12 October 2281, the intro of new vegas. The courier has already get shot. According to the date, Ringo is going and will ambushed on his way to Goodsprings. I haven''t told Ringo about the ambush yet, I just told him to be extremely cautious because there''s a Powder Ganger camp nearby.


    We''re currently in Jean Sky Diving. I hold my Varmint Rifle tightly. I mean, this is my first time holding a gun and all even though I''m an adult. I only know how to use a gun in games and movies.


    Ringo walked in front of the Brahmin, while I tried to keep his pace by walking in the back. I hear footsteps from a distance, I prepared my rifle by pointing at the direction of the sounds. I gulped. My hands are shaking but I tried to keep it controlled. Ringo grabbed his gun and also pointed at the footsteps. The footsteps gets heavier and heavier until it stopped. I raised one of my eyebrows and lowered my gun down. I looked away from the direction to Ringo.


    "Hey It''s probably noth-"


    Powder Gangers showed up from the direction of the footsteps earlier. They were throwing Dynamites at us. Ringo spoke.


    "Shit, Powder Gangers."


    "Hey! I got a plan! Don''t do a thing."


    I can use my Powder Ganger jacket as a disguise. Fallout New Vegas has something like that too. The only thing that matters right now is that Ringo escapes to Goodsprings and hide there. If I''m correct, Ringo is ambushed by a Powder Ganger group lead by Joe Cobb. Maybe I can lure him out. I walked to the Powder Gangers direction with my hands up. One of the Powder Gangers shouts.


    "You one of us?!"


    "Yeah! I already captured Ringo."


    Ringo frowned at me.


    "You captured Ringo?!"


    "Yeah!"


    "Well, shit. Bring him here."


    "I want to meet Joe Cobb first!"


    "Cobb? Fine. Hey Cobb! This guy wanna talk to you!"


    Joe Cobb comes out of Powder Ganger''s crowd. He looks just like in the game.


    "What''chu want rookie?"


    "Umm... I want to..umm..What''s that!"


    I quickly pointed at a random direction. All of the Powder Gangers looked at the direction I pointed. I pointed my Varmint Rifle at Cobb. By the time they looked back at me, Cobb already has his life in my hands.

    "What the fuck do you think you''re doing?"


    "I''m pointing my gun at you. That''s what I''m doing."


    "Do you know who I am? I''m Joe fucking Cobb and I-"


    "Look, man. I know it''s dramatic and shit but Ringo and I just want to get to Goodsprings so. If you would kindly go back to where you came from. That''ll be lovely."


    "You want to get to Goodsprings? I''ll make sure your body goes there! Folks! Kill this fool!"


    The Powder Gangers started shooting at me. I ran to Ringo and covered him in his brahmin (Note: This is Fallout New Vegas. Not real life. Bullets can''t go through things.) I shot the Powder Gangers with my Varmint Rifle. Ah, shit. I''m not doing that again.


    "Ringo. We gotta run."


    "What about the pack?"


    "Fuck the pack let''s go!"


    I carried Ringo and ran away from the ambush. I''m surprised I haven''t gotten killed this whole time. I ran carrying Ringo until I lost Joe Cobb''s group.


    "Stop. Put me down. I can walk by myself."


    I put Ringo down.


    "Why did you run away?"


    "Did you even see the numbers of those guys? We''ll die."


    "Well, you''re right on that one. Anyway, we need to get to Goodsprings before Cobb''s gang catch up to us."


    "Well, let''s go then."


    We walked our entire way to Goodspring without the pack. We were welcomed by the commoners there. One of those commoners is Sunny Smiles. She greets with a different way though. She greets with a gun pointed on my head.


    "Ringo, who''s this?"


    "No don''t that''s a friend of mine."


    "A friend of Ringo? A friend of Ringo is a friend of mine."


    She lowered her gun.


    "Sunny Smiles?"


    "Yeah, we met before?"


    "Nope. Anyway, Ringo and I need a place to hide."


    "Oh, from who?"


    "Powder Gangers. Joe Cobb gang. We were mbushed earlier."


    "Joe Cobb? Shit, you can hide in that gas station there."


    Sunny guided us to the gas station. I''m so excited to meet the courier. I wonder what he''ll look like. Maybe a little bit like me? For some reason, my head hurts like hell. It''s probably nothing.


    Ringo leaned on a wall to take a rest. He asks me to play Caravan with him.


    "Hey, wanna play Caravan?"


    "Sure. Don''t cheat this time though."


    Ringo chatted with me while playing Caravan until we can barely open an eyelid anymore. He slept first though.
