Posted the prompt for a Fallout/Dune Crossover in the fallout kink meme and was also inspired to fill it.* Edited it for grammar, changed some lines and moved personal commentary to the references (i) for your pleasure. Also thank you to anon for giving me the best name for a protagonist.
MOJAVE
Of course, after the three way battle of Hoover Dam, Mol'Rat(ii) showed the Kaiser's Sardaukar and the combined strength of the Great Houses of New Vegas, bolstered by the other Great Houses from other states, why the name Mol'Rat was screamed into battle by his fanatical freemen coughandfreewomencough.(iii)
First, winning the psychological battle by detonating a nuclear warhead hidden in the Dam, becoming the first nuclear armed conflict after the last one that ended the world. The cries of despair that rang after the explosion were overwhelmed by the shouts of fury and joy from Mol'Rat's followers. Showing those who witnessed it the resolve and ruthlessness of Mol'Rat and his freeme- you know what it's now FREEPEOPLE.(iv)
Second, through unknown means, gaining control of the Securitron Army in New Vegas and one hidden right in the main Sardaukar camp. The Securitrons at that time did not have independent thought and while powerful could be taken down with an organized army. Mol'Rat(v) once again employed taboo weaponry in the form of A.I., giving the Securitrons the mind of a curiously apologetic death machine as it rendered people from the water in their bodies with heavy weaponry.(vi)
Third and lastly, just as the battle reached its fevered pitch the Great Houses and the Sardaukar formed a temporary alliance and fought back to back using the remains of the dam as covervii, heedless of the radiation dooming any and all survivors to a slow and painful death. An unearthly howl could be heard from upstream which was curiously drying up. Out of the sandstorm that almost miraculously formed upstream in the wake of the nuclear explosion, came Mol'Rats greatest weapon of all: SAND WORMS, riding these deadly behemoths which were impervious to any weaponry the enemy possessed were the greatest warriors in Mol'Rats disposal, the men and women of the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave, squabbling warrior tribes recently united by Mol'Rat. And the super mutants, who were also having internal problems. Mol'Rat solved this as any FREEPEOPLE would.(viii) As for the great man/woman himself/herself, Mol'Rat rode the leading sandworm into battle protected in power armor waving his/her crysknife screaming like a vengeful God/Goddess.(ix)
After the battle, Mol'Rat generously treated his follower's wounds and radiation poisoning from supplies it was said, gathered by Mol'Rat himself/herself. To the enemy wounded, this was also the treatment that they received, if only to purify the water in them before it is taken from them along with their life.
To the Kaiser, the demand was simple, step down and you will have an estate to call your own or Mol'Rat will put you in a death-still(x) and drink your water and use your skin for his battle drums. The offer was of course accepted with indecent haste, with Mol'Rat assuming the title of Kaiser and appointing a Sardaukar officer named Lanius as his representative in day to day operations within the legions.(xi)
To the Great Houses, he gave a similar choice, but Benny the most senior member of the leading house who survived the battle challenged Mol'Rat to a gladiator match, which Mol'Rat duly accepted despite protestations from a strange woman wearing potato sack, who fought unarmed yet slew all that opposed her while making quips about her "Avatar".(xii)
The fight lasted long with Benny proving a surprising match to Mol'Rat, until finally when exhaustion took them both, they grappled each other in desperation to end the fight, tumbling down with Benny coming out on top, he whispered so that only Mol'Rat would hear.
"Ringa Ding Baby! See the needle in my belt, it will be your death fool."
Mol'Rat, characteristically in response, head butted Benny and without a word and using this as a distraction, liberated copious amounts of water from his/her foe. Standing and watching as this perfectly good source of water was being wasted, Mol'Rat said: "A feint within a feint within a feint baby! This so called Baron House of Harkonenn, who did not even deign to fight me, instead hides and sent this creature is next, he is inside the Strip which is mine and the FREEPEOPLE's. As is the Mojave" And the world we knew was changed forever. The End.(xiii)
