Fallout: Downfall
Chapter 1: I forgot to remember to forget

Pax Per Bellum: Peace through war.

Pain. Pain is weakness leaving the body. If so when I get up I might be able to smash a building in half...if. If i get up so much pain..i think I liked it when I was knocked out. Alright time to get up i guess...in a minute..or two..god this hurts so bad. I heard the bulding shake..once..twice..three times, what the hell is going on here. I move around first to my left then to my right the pounding in my head increasing with every second. I looked down to my left wrist there and behold was my pip-boy beeping (loudly i might add) warning me about the constant stream of radiation into my body. With a groan i pulled myself up off the ground. Ok quick study: Messed up leg(Check) Death Threatening headache(oh yeah, Check) Gun.. I looked around the room i was in and then up. There stood a giant hole in the ceiling. "I fell through that?" I asked out aloud to myself. " WE actually fell through that" a voice in my head said "We?"
I looked back around the room spotting my gun in the corner. I guess I should explain a little bit before jumping into everything right? Well the year is 2030 during a peace time a new power came up out of the darkness and blindsided everyone worse turned to worse and everyone was nuked. The couldn't spare any country. Russia came to America's aid along side other countries such as Japan and Germany. So where do I come into play with all this? Simple, the world was bombed but it still prevailed we i was born into the wasteland. The left over earth from my parents, grandparents, and so on. Oh before I continue I should also explain the radiation. See its how you think radiation works, some people die, others get ghoulified, and others a special 2% get affected in a different way. Like me for example I have another living soul in my body well at least that's the way I perceive it. Her name is Shelly I like to call her the annoying bitch that thumps around my skull all the time. She seems to have a vast amount of knowledge and she actually helps me out when things come up that I cant normally get myself out of. This also comes with a downside I figure kind of like a perk of some sorts: Battle Hunger, a cool name I came up with for it. The longer im in fights the more insane I become, to the point where I might end up losing myself and she takes over. I cant see what she does I can only reap what she sows. Grabbing my .308 rifle I called 'Star' I walked myself over to the terminal near the door. Longing it to work because from the constant red blaring warnings on my pip-boy I was not going to like the after effects of the radiation. I opened the door after a few tries, I was already starting to feel the effects of the radiation, didn't help that the password was radiation. I stared up at the hole in the floor, I couldn't remember what had actually happened, where was my team? Why was I hearing less of Shelly she'd interrupt me by now yelling at me for "messing up her body". "Shelly?" id whisper limping along the hallways my pip-boy flashing a warning on my left leg and another on my head. I didn't actually understand these things, when I first got mine I felt sharp pricks into my arm as it "downloaded my data" a blood sample at most. "Fuck, Shelly what's going on. Talk to me please!" I whispered loudly bracing myself against the wall and sliding down it. I was actually going to die here, die of hunger and a messed up leg. This could not be happing! Why me, why me at this time. Maybe it was my luck or maybe the radiation was settling into my mind, but I saw a door show up at the end of the hall it had golden rings around it and a sound. Like singing but not singing at the same time. I picked myself up and limped over to the door. Grabbing the handle which filled me with a light feeling the doorknob itself was cold as ice and I feared my hand would get stuck, well the sane part of me did. The other part could faintly hear Shelly whispering some plans "its time, Six"
"
time for what Shelly? What's happening?" I said back in my head ugh this was not helping my headache "Open the door, Six. Its time to start the order" I pulled the door open and stepped through a blinding light.
