Fallout: Redemption
Disclaimer: I do not own one piece; I do not have that much time to create over 700+ episodes/ chapters.
this is a re upload for me because I was forced to delete my original story over in the crossover section due to my Email account being blocked.
So I decided to upload this story in the fanfic story section instead.
The character is just an OC not SI so you don't worry about that.
The first few chapters i am going to write will follow the canon storyline on some basis but it will alternate with my characters interventions.
So sit back, relax, read and i hope you enjoy my story.
reviews will be greatly appreciated as long as they are friendly and constructive.
Prologue: The end of the earthborn
Location: unknown, year?
Protagonists Narration POV:
War, war never changes.
Hatred included.
For years the three super countries of earth were always at each other's throats.
Because of them, peace was like an impossible dream to reach.
But they finally made it impossible to reach.
In the year of October 23rd 2077 the bombs have finally been dropped, destroying everything in its path.
No one knew who did it first but they will always resort to pointing fingers so childishly. How pathetic, due to longest grudge match the world has ever known and feared everybody suffered dearly for it.
Nobody could escape from the nuclear fallout that happened afterwards.
But there were some that luckily escaped.
20 years before the nuclear fallout it was predicted by a Mr Robert House, whom he claimed that the bombs will no doubt be dropped eventually. Of course he knew that no one would believe him except for one man.
His best friend Alexander D Reid, who was the CEO of the Euro space agency. Born and raised in London England Reid left school early at the age of sixteen to apply for NASA which to their credit actually accepted him due to his high intellect in physic, science and other things that nobody could even comprehend at his age.
Reid actually believed his claim and set off to work on some precaution plan in case if things do go south pretty quickly.
Due to his high standing within the company he set to work on building a space shuttle with the assistance of robco and a few other companies who went behind the scenes during the second cold war.
The plan was to settle off world away from the conflict and to select several candidates for the journey. Mostly they would select the best minds for the job and the selecting the best soldiers for the job.
Now Reid knew that he wouldn't drift around space aimlessly so he needed to think up of a method of space travel where they wouldn't die of old age when they arrived at some planet that does support life.
That was the second dilemma, where would they land?
Mars was a definite no because it was too close to earth, and the atmosphere didn't support any life. And there weren't any other planets or moons that didn't have the capability to support life nearby.
But eventually a rouge satellite came across a planet that appeared to resemble earth's atmosphere almost perfectly. It was easily twice the size of earth and the planet was swarming with islands of all shapes and sizes consisting of different terrains.
It was then decided that this planet will be their destination because luckily it was close enough for them to reach. And soon after Reid decided that the best way to avoid the lengthy waiting time is to freeze themselves in cryo sleep to cancel out the time it took to get there.
When the preparations were set and the candidates selected, all they needed to do was wait for the inevitable disaster to happen.
3 weeks before the probability of nuclear war was rising very quickly to point where tensions were meeting boiling point.
Reid gathered all of his followers quickly to the launch bays located on a secret island base far off the coast of Scotland. Reid did earlier invite Robert house to join him but he politely declined on his request because he desired to stay and defend the Vegas strip from destruction.
They did manage to leave the planet just before the first bombs fell over America and then the nukes began to target the other cities in other countries that did and didn't have anything to do with the conflict. As they all watched the nuclear fire consume the earth from the windows in the cold darkness of the void they all headed to their designated cryo pods to freeze themselves for the rest of the journey.
After years of drifting through the empty blackness they finally reached their destination, their new home. But the planet was already occupied, one gave the scientists a great shock was that they were human.
Many were very uncertain whether it's a good idea in introducing themselves because from some evidence that brought forth to them by the scout teams was that many countries bases its society on a monarchical and an imperial system and they didn't have a world government system.
They decided to land somewhere completely isolated to avoid the attention of the world.
Once settled onto a large island with beautiful lush forests plenty of resources available and food to last them for a long time.
They soon began their next stage in the grand plan, setting up their ideal country.
As the years went by they have finally finished building our new home. And then began to set up the new government, society and the laws of the country.
Reid was then elected to be the leader of this country which he accepted after he married his partner and fiancé rose.
Rose soon gave birth to two sons which were expected to hold great potential. The most capable one to lead was chosen to succeed his father while the other son was chosen to succeed the head scientist of Emile industries. The latter was my father, Alexander D Arthur and the former was my uncle Declan.
When the news came out to the other kingdoms about the new country formed, they either didn't think much of us or they simply look down on us with a sneer plastered on their faces.
But as the years went on into the new century they grew even more wary of our positive influence we kept bringing to the populace in their kingdoms and our powerful military might. They kings and nobles disliked our governing policies and our ideals that focus on the many rather than the needs of the individual.
When I was born I resided in a great and prosperous kingdom that was considered to be the most powerful at the time due to our knowledge and technology, but no matter how much power we held, great kingdoms will eventually fall to the hands of barbarians.
It all started on our eve of the greatest discoveries and pioneering of the century, Ezekiel's fruit/ the fruits of Eden or the forbidden fruit was one of these discoveries, an unusual name for a fruit but it was named that for a good reason, A suitable name for a forbidden fruit. According to the scientists the fruit themselves contains a power that no man has ever witnessed before but the fruit also contained its negatives along with absolute power.
And then the majority of other projects that came along with it, Granted we were playing with fire because the potential of these projects can be considered as weapons of mass destruction on a larger scale. Some people became concerned about that as some people were saying this could end as a repeat of the old world
When my uncle was elected as the new leader succeeding my grandfather the people adored our leader like a king, our friends and allies admired him like a role model. And the leader never let all of the attention to get to his head and corrupt him. It always seemed impossible to corrupt him anyways.
While our nation and its allied nations lived happily with the peace, there were always some that seemed to view us as a threat to peace.
It first started with envy, envious of our country's prosperity. Then Greed soon came to consume their desires into an ambition to obtain wealth and power. Hatred soon became a necessary tool in their ambitions from the years they have suffered from the humility brought upon them by the great kingdom as they have begun to call it but they just couldn't let go of it.
With our kingdom gaining more and more power as time goes by, the leaders from some of their own countries have begun to grow restless and their fear was rising up to point where rationality no longer exists.
Then the wars soon erupted
Twenty kingdoms formed an alliance against us to overthrow our kingdom, why? Just because they can, Bullshit I say. They did it because they fear us.
The vast alliance of twenty kingdoms greatly outnumbered us 20:1 excluding our allies whom were already destroyed, defected, or abandoned us to our fate.
But that doesn't mean that we didn't fight back, oh no. we back like a furious bloody maelstrom that slaughtered our enemies like the scum they were.
But it just wasn't enough to hold out.
Protagonist's POV:
Location:secret bunker underneath the parliament building
"What did we do to deserve all this!?" I growled as I fired another shot from my ACR39 assault rifle tearing straight through the enemy.
"I don't know son, but we need to move now." My father called out to me through my helmets inbuilt headphone speakers. "Do you have everything?!" I shouted over the gunfire and explosions going on outside. "Not yet I'm almost done with the downloads, can you hold out for another few minutes." He replied back to me in a calm and cool tone. "Keep the downloads running, we can't afford any errors now!" I reached back out of my cover and fired six shots that killed off multiple enemies garbed in a military uniform and armour, a few looked familiar.
"The Donquixote family." I spat as if the name were toxic venom "We should've killed them when we had the chance" I snarled as my rage could at one point consume me
"Calm yourself son, rage is not the solution at this point. Keep on concentrating on your objective and your survival." my father called out to me " and don't forget that there were other kingdoms that revolted against us too, not just them
I bit my own lip to calm myself down, when I finished calming myself down I peered my head of cover to look down the hallway, I then spotted a military uniform that I was also familiar with.
"father are you seeing this, no seriously look through my live feed" referring to my built in camera on my helmet. "is that who I think it is?" I asked him
Father sighed sadly on the other end "yes son, it is indeed who you think it is, the nefertari family" this news alarmed me "Why! ? Why would they do this? I thought we were allies!" I yelled with the feeling of betrayal.
"Most likely they were pressured into it by the other kingdoms, or threatened. I doubt they would do this willingly it's not like them." My father mused
"Damn it we are losing more friends and allies in this fucking war, any news about shandia." I asked
"No, their situation is as bad as ours" he replied grimly
"SHIT!" I roared, bringing out my weapon to slaughter a dozen more soldiers.
"Fall back to the lab for now, I'm finished with the downloads." Father ordered. "Is there anyone left in your left in your unit?" "Barely, me and Captain scherano are the only ones unharmed. Matteson is dead, pentenny and ziarko are wounded and Scofield is too far away from our position." I responded
"Son you need to get over here ASAP, this objective is critical. I'm sorry but you need to return here alone"
"Dad you cannot be serious! " I shouted down on my mic "I can't abandon my team, not like this!"
"It's alright!" Scherano called out to me "Don't worry about us, we can manage."
"Are you about that, these two are in a bad condition and him over there is a bad position , all of you could die from this if I leave you here" I said whilst pointing towards my two wounded teammates and my pinned down teammate, who nearly looks like he is about to get over swarmed any minute now.
"Better to die than be a coward, we can hold out for much longer than this. NOW GO, move it soldier that's an order!" he shouted in his absolute commanding voice
I couldn't argue any further, orders were orders, I didn't have to like it but it need to be done. I saluted to him while responding back with a "yes sir!" and then proceeded to run back to where my father is.
I reached the laboratory where my father is where he is and shut and sealed the door behind me. With my dad that's finished with his preparations. He downloaded terabytes worth of important data onto a small wrist like device
"Good you're here, get over here and put this on. "Father called out, motioning his hand for me to come over.
I ran straight over to him and looked over the familiar device. It was a pip boy, but a newer model, unlike its bulky predecessors back in the old world it looked sleeker but durable and was also smaller and lighter than normal.
"This was meant for your 18th birthday but I suppose I will make this an exception" Dad chuckled as he caught my curiosity and fascination of this new device "well don't just stand there staring, put it on!
I jumped out of my moment of curiosity and complied with his order. As I put the new pip boy on my left wrist, it fit comfortably and didn't weigh down my arm I the slightest. "What's this model called" I asked
"Well I haven't named it yet, but I think I would choose the name alpha omega, meaning this is the first and last model made in this world, and the data that's contained in there can bring the beginning and the end." He said sagely
I sweat dropped at that piece of information "Are you seriously entrusting all this information to me, which is quite a big gamble you are playing right now.
Father smiled "I know I am, but you are the only person I know who I can entrust this to, since all of the other labs are currently in lockdown and is virtually impenetrable from the outside, the only way to get in these labs is through the codes that is downloaded onto your pip boy."
I sweat dropped nervously "ohhh yeaa, that fills me with great confidence, thanks dad" I said with nervous sarcasm mixed in my voice
Dad smiled and ruffled my hair "your welcome, but it was necessary"
"Professor!" A soldier shouted from the other end of the lab "the transports ready and we must leave immediately, they are closing in dangerously!
"Alright I'm coming, come on we need to get to the transport." He called to me, but I was hesitant in leaving my team behind. "What about my teammates, I can't just leave the m there"
"Don't worry, another squad was sent to back them up, rest assured they will be bine" he reassured me
*sigh* "alright, let's go" he said without a trace of doubt in my voice. Firmly believing that they will be fine, after all they are the elite rangers like me, the best of the best. Unlike the brotherhood of steel and the enclave, their training is focused mainly on operating their power armor, while they both were very fearsome warriors they were limited in speed and agility, compared to us our combat prowess and survivability sometimes surpasses theirs.
I happened to be the youngest recruit to be admitted into the rangers at a young age of fifteen, while it may look like favouritism depending on how look at it with my dad in high raking position, but I assure it was not. I knew what I was getting myself into and I suffered greatly for it. In the end I prevailed. To tell you the truth this is my 18th time in combat.
As we ran through the corridors dad stopped all of a sudden as if he remembered something" ah before I forget" he pulls out what looks like a fruit out of a container in his backpack, it looked very exotic and unusual at the same time as I have never seen a fruit or berries like this before, I think it might be blackcurrants but they look more darker than normal.
He then opened the container and held out towards me.
"Eat this "he said in somewhat of a commanding tone. "EH? Err im not hungry" I replied feeling rather awkward in this situation when there is a war going on "I don't have time for stubbornness, now eat." He said impatiently
" I told you I'm fi—MMPH!" the soldier behind me grabbed the fruit and forced it into my mouth and made me swallow it. The taste of it was like someone ramming the fruit up the shitter of a horses arse and then shat out but I'm over exaggerating, no one can comprehend the taste of this fruit of this vile fruit.
As I coughed and gagged for air, I downed all of the liquid in my canteen bottle and then turned towards my dad and that twat who had the nerve to shove that thing in my mouth " the fuck was that, are you trying to kill me." my voice was all croaky as if it was burning and I couldn't act pissed off at them even if wanted to.
"You will thank us later" The soldier replied in a calm and cod tone he turned away and proceeded down the hall "we wasted too much time, we need to get moving"
"Sorry about that son but I promise I will explain later, but we need to get moving" father said to me apologetically.
"You better, *ack!,bluergh!* ah shit" I said whilst clutching my stomach
As we neared a secret underground dock used for the most important VIP's and transportation of classified objects. As I looked around I noticed that there was an absence of boats and ships around, the only thing that was present was what looked like a sub, but it looked more like an indestructible capsule that's used for protecting the contents inside whenever there was a war going on.
"is that it? WHERE THE HELL IS OUR EVAC!"
"I'm sorry son, but this evac is not for us, just you" Dad whispered in a sombre tone behind me, but I heard him clearly
"What're you on abou-"*THAWK* I was interrupted by a rifle butt striking the back of my neck, sending me to an unconscious state
"Forgive me" and that was the last time I ever saw him as I drifted off into unconscious.
I then woke inside a very narrow space of what looked like the inside of a pod. I was still feeling the immense pain at the back of my neck from where om guessing it was the same soldier struck me.
"Grrrgh, what the actual fuck was that about" I groaned
Suddenly there was a screen that flickered to life, it was my dad. Why was he still back there?
My dad was now smiling as the sounds of battle was getting more violent.
"Thank god you made it out of there" he said with relief
"Dad what's happening? Why am I in this pod? "I said feeling slightly unnerved about the situation that I'm in
"Son, it pains me to say this but you must live on." He said with tears beginning to form in his eyes
"Dad for fuck sake this is not funny! Let me out of this thing!. I thrashed around in my pod as I yelled at the screen
"We cannot do that Marcus" another voice soon made itself known.
"uncle?" I said in shocked tone, because he was still in the government office.
"Declan, why are you still in the office they will overrun the parliament building"
"Arthur, Marcus listen carefully" he began in a low voice
"What is it?" dad asked
"I managed to dispose most of our projects; they shouldn't be able to find the rest though. I also issued orders for our family and friends for the poneglyphs to be transported to their destination as their final mission and my last request"
"Declan get out of there!" Dad shouted
Uncle shook his head. "I have got less than two minutes before they reach my office, it's too late."
"NO!" I shouted out in Angst as I slammed my fist against the interior.
"Marcus! Listen to me you are in a cryogenic freezing pod that's built into a mini sub."
"WHAT!" I shouted in disbelief
"I know you're angry, but listen to me the data inside your pip boy is crucial you must not let that data fall into the wrong hands"
"Me!"
"You can do it, I know you can!" He reassured me
"Sir they are reaching our position" a soldier called out in the background
"So it seems" uncle said with a tired sigh
"Declan, is there anything you can do, can't you get out?" Dad said to him in that calm tone of his, but he inside he was concerned as well.
"No there is no exits I'm afraid, but there is something I can give them before I go" he pulled out what looked like a key from his left trouser pocket. "My last laugh" he said with a big toothy grin on his face as the connection soon cut off.
"So it's come to that."
"Why what was that key for"
"That key is to arm a retaliation weapon against aggressors attacking our home, we couldn't use it before because it was still in prototype"
"What does it do"
"it is said to surround the island in an ion storm that will manipulate the weather and destroy threats coming from the sea. Unfortunately it was untested and it could quite possibly destroy the weather pattern in this area and other areas if used. And now he plans to sacrifice his life in order to prevent our secrets from cracking open."
"Fuck that!" dad please let me go back." I pleaded
"Your uncles already gone and it won't be long before I am as well."
"NO! PLEASE!"
"The cryo pod will freeze after I cut this broadcast, and then the sub will submerge itself at 1000 feet and it will be set with a destination for it to go to. For how long the you will be frozen for, I do not know"
"Dad don't this" I started to hit on the impenetrable window facing the island that was now beginning to be surrounded by dark clouds riddled with an onslaught white lightning and violent winds cascading onto the enemy.
"Listen my son, Things will no doubt be different when you wake up, however I don't know when that will be. But when you do-" he flashed his toothy grin." Give them hell, show those bastards on why you don't fuck with the will of the D. good luck Marcus, if only your mother could see how you've grown."
*CLIKZZT—BOOOM! FZZZZT*
The video feed soon cut off, leaving me with a static screen with my face full of dread and despair. I looked out of the window to see explosions coming from below the parliament building and that the whole city was now being totalled by the ION storm destroying everything in its path
"DAAD! UNCLE!" *FSSSST!* the freezing sequence has now begun to take its effect on my body.
Fighting every urge against unconsciousness, banging against the interior with my fists getting weaker with each hit my strength eventually left me.
My eyes were now starting to get heavy, and so was my breathing.
"Damn them" I whispered to myself unable to shed a tear because of the freezing cold that was quickly consuming the pods interior.
As the pod/mini sub submerged itself under the water, it began its endless journey through the deep depths of the ocean. Never to be seen again for centuries to come.
A grim feeling now took over me; I was now truly alone in this hostile world.
As my eyes now fully closed as unconsciousness finally took over and then….darkness.
And cut.
Author note: Marcus's armour is basically the NCR rangers armour from fallout new Vegas, the appearance of his armour is the story cover image. The built in lenses can change hue from red = thermal ,to blue motion = motion tracking/ heartbeat sensor, to green = night vision.
You may be wondering why i haven't posted this on a fallout crossover with one piece, well that's because with what i planned to do with this story is more up to me and this story does not follow the fallout storyline apart from the nuclear war.
Marcus will be powerful but not godlike right off the bat.
As you can all guess, Marcus is an elite ranger like spec ops unit.
So I will then see you in the next chapter where more of his abilities will be shown and explained, which you are in luck because I did that chapter before this story was re-uploaded.
