David laid on his back and looked up at the gray, metal, ceiling of his quarters.

Today was the day of the G.O.A.T., a test to see what job he would get.

But he wasn't thinking about the G.O.A.T., he was thinking about Amata.

Amata was his best friend ever since he was one. And now they were dating, it was risky yes but he loved her

His mind shifted as his dad walked in "Get up you've got a G.O.A.T. to take."

"If you say so dad" responded David. "Hey it's not my call, it's just something we all have go through."

"Bye, Dad" he responded just trying to get it over with the conversation.

"Take care son" as he left Jonas his dad's helper walked by.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's the big G.O.A.T. day isn't it." He said as he walked by David

"Yeah" he said wincing a bit as he said it.

"Ah, don't worry about it you'll do fine" Jonas said reassuringly.

As David walked out he heard something that made him cringe "I can show you a real Tunnel Snake Amata"-Butch

That morning Amata got out of bed and went into her father's office.

As she walked in the room she flinched at the sign that read "Overseer's Office"

"You asked for me Alphonse—"

"Amata, don't call me that" responded her father harshly.

"Jez dad chill, anyway what did you want to see me for."

"It has been recently been brought to my attentions that you have been spending a lot of time with David Vasquez" said The Overseer suspiciously.

"He is my friend is there a problem with that" she said awkwardly.

'If only you knew' she thought.

"I will limit the time spent with this boy that is all" he said sternly

Amata stormed out and slid down the railing to the bottom of the stairs. This was something her father hated.

As she was walking to the classroom she saw David inside the infirmary.

She giggled 'he never liked school' she thought.

"Hello Amata" said a Butches voice.

As David walked up to Butch he said "What's going on here"

Butch looked at him with his icy face. "None of your Business kid, keep using that tone we'll send you back to your dad with some broken bones"

"Stop right now or you'll answer to me" said David bravely.

"Who are you her boyfriend?" said Butch jokingly

"You're damn right I am" said David. Finally he took a stand to this leather-clad gang "That's it Butch you and me right now."

"Come on Tunnel Snakes looks like this little twerp needs another lesson." Says Butch.

David was not special he wasn't that smart he wasn't that strong but he could hold his own in a fight.

You would never take him as a hero he wasn't the poster boy of the vault and wasn't the teacher's favorite but like I said before he could hold his own in a fight.

Butch threw a punch David moved his head to the side and grabbed Butch's arm and threw him into the wall. Next was Paul, he threw a punch at David's gut, David took the punch and kneed Paul in the balls. "Ahh" he yelled as he crumpled up on the floor. David felt a sensation of pride and then he was hit in the head and fell on the floor.

David felt like a million cows were stomping on his head. "Son of a Bitch" he said. Wally, he forgot about Wally Mack. With all his strength he stood up and punched Wally in the nose.

Wally fell down and grabbed his

"Come Tunnel Snakes this little bitch isn't worth our time" said Butch as they walked away.

"Hey are you ok" said Amata as she neared him. "Yeah" He said as he spit out blood.

"Thanks for getting rid of them, assholes. I don't know why they won't leave me alone I guess its cause I'm the Overseers daughter, idiots"

As they walked into class the teacher greeted them "Well, well, you finally made it all set for the G.O.A.T." he said in his relaxed voice.

"Yeah, Yeah" said David as he sat down. "I bet I'll ace it" said Amata.

"I'm sure you will since it is a multiple choice test with no wrong answers." He said with a smug smile.

She sat down and looked over at David he was tired and beaten.

Then she looked up at the projector for the questions.

Finally the last Question came on the projector "Who is undisputedly the most important person in Vault 101? He who shelters us from the harsh atomic wasteland and to whom we owe everything including our lives" all answers were marked for the Overseer. David chose one and got up handing it in.

"My, my, they say the G.O.A.T never lies, you're going to be the new Vault priest God help us all."

"Are you kidding me" he said to Brotch. David looked around and didn't see Amata 'strange' he thought.

He walked out of the room stressed and in pain, then a pair of hands pulled him into the maintenance closet.

He readied himself to fight because he thought Butch wanted to get back at him but instead his captor kissed him passionately.

"Amata" he said through the kisses. They kissed for a long time and then stopped.

David looked at Amata and she was biting her lower lip he knew what that meant.

She started to unzip her jumpsuit and David his.

Nothing much happened for the next three years until the year 2077 when everything went to hell.

Amata woke up to the sounds of sirens in the Vault and shouting out side the door 'What the hell' she thought.

She opened the door and all she saw was Jonas being beaten to death and then she hid.

'Oh my God' she thought and then she overheard "The doctor has left the Vault and next we get the kid."

'I have to warn David' she thought. Amata Almodovar possibly the future Overseer was now helping a fugitive of the Vault.

All he heard was "Come on you've got to wake up!" He sat up and there was Amata looking scared as ever.

So he said something cocky "How weird I was just dreaming of you."

She smacked him in the face "Don't be a smart mouth this is serious! My father has already killed Jonas and is coming after you now."

"What Jonas is dead, what the hell is going on?!" he responded.

"It's your dad he has left the Vault" she said to him in a high pitched tone.

"What", he said angrily. 'How' he thought.

"Listen you've got to get out of here I know of a secret tunnel in the Overseer's office."

"Ok are you ok, Amata" He said concerned he didn't want his crush to be hurt.

"Yeah I'm fine, but you have to go now there might even be a guard waiting outside so be careful ok."

"Ok good" he said breathing heavily. 'Can I do this' he thought.

"I'll try to meet you at the exit, oh and one more thing I stole my father's pistol" she said to him cautiously.

"Thank you I'll only use it for last resort I promise" he said reassuringly.

"Good luck" she said. As she left.

He walked out and heard "hey there he is stop right there" he ducked into his room and grabbed his bat.

Officer Kendal yelled "Christ more roaches" as he was attacked by radroaches.

David killed off some roaches and then Officer Kendal attacked him.

He just threw himself at David, David pulled out the pistol Amata gave him and fired.

Officer Kendal's body went limp and collapsed in front of David.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit", he said under his breath.

'I just killed a man' he thought to himself as he bent over to breath.

He started to move again when he encountered Butch David was ready to fight but instead Butch was pleading for help.

"You've gotta help me, my mom is trapped in there with the radroaches." He said frantically.

"Wow, you asking me for help, if only you knew what irony meant." He said smugly

"So I'm askin you, I know I gave you a hard time but you didn't take that seriously right." He said desperately.

"Fine I'll see what I can do." David said as he walked inside.

He saw the roaches and slammed at them with his bat.

"We did it! My mom's gonna be ok, you're the best friend I've ever had. Here have my Tunnel Snakes jacket." Said Butch happily.

"Well, ok" said David reluctantly. 'It does have thicker jacket it should protect me more' he thought.

David walked out and walked down the hall and encountered Officer Gomez, Andy the robot, and Stanley.

Andy was frying roaches while Gomez helped and Stanley stayed behind.

"Hey kid wait a sec" Gomez said as David tried to sneak past them.

"Please just let me go" said David not wanting to kill another person ever.

"Boy your lucky it was me who found you the others won't be forgiving. Just, just clear out of here and I'll pretend I never saw you" he said.

"And I'll pretend that you don't work for a homicidal maniac" David said jokingly.

"Don't thing I don't know Officer Mack was just out of control, now go before you get both of us killed."

"Bye Gomez I always did think you were cool" and with that David was off down the grey halls of Vault 101.

David entered the Atrium and there were Mary and Tom Holden.

David stayed out of sight and Tom said "Don't you see were getting out just like the doctor!" as Tom ran to the main entrance.

Mary shouted "No Tom don't g-"her voice was muffled out by gunshots.

Tom's body fell down and was motionless- dead.

"No!" shouted Mary as she ran toward her dead husband and was gunned down herself.

David knew there was no way to get by the guards so he pulled out his gun and shot at one of the officers and hit him in the shoulder.

The officers started to shoot back wounding David in the leg and shoulder "FUCK YOU" they yelled at him "Son of a Bitch" David said in pain.

David turned and fired two shots at one officer both hitting their marks.

The last guard was firing wildly at David and when he reloaded David took his opportunity and turned the corner and shot at the guard.

One shot in the head, one in the chest and two misses.

'Why did they just kill them' David thought.

"Ah, fuck" he said in pain. He got up and limped toward the stairs.

David entered the mainframe room and saw a dead engineer on the ground. 'I wonder if this was the roaches' he thought.

"For the Overseer!" shouted a voice just before David was hit in the head and knocked on the floor.

Chief of Security Hannon attacked David viciously kicking him while he was down.

David finally gathered the strength pulled out his bat and swung as hard as he could at Hannon.

Hannon's body went limp and the air left his body-he was dead.

'Why is everyone dying?!' David thought.

David's head pounded and he could barely move his leg, his shoulder looked like shit and the bullet was still inside his shoulder.

As he limped down the hall he heard the Overseer's voice "Please don't make Officer Mack hit you again"

"He's my friend and I was worried about him so I went to see him" Amata's voice said.

'Amata!' he thought. He had to help her so he sneaked towards the room where they were.

"Looks like you need to be taught some respect." Said Officer Mack. "Ow, Daddy please!"

That set him off David entered the room and fired into the ceiling and pointed to Mack.

"Hello Alphonse" he said to him.

"I hope you're here to turn yourself in young man you are in a lot of trouble." The overseer said to him.

"I swear if you lay another hand on her I will make you pay for it" David said harshly.

"You have no reason for authority here young man, but I do admire your protective spirit, very as the Overseer I swear never to lay another hand on her"

"Amata get out of here!" he said to her.

"Thank you, thank you." She said to him as she ran out.

Officer Mack started to go after her and David put the pistol up to his skull.

"Move and I will fucking kill you" David said to Mack.

"Mack stand down" said the Overseer.

"I need your office key and terminal password" David said in a demanding voice.

"Oh is that all, no I won't give you anything, Mack now!" said the Overseer.

Mack charged at David but wasn't quick enough.

David fired two bullets right into the heart of Mack.

He fell down dead. David fired one more shot in the head. "That was for Jonas"

"Amata" said the Overseer obviously scared to death. "A-Amata is the password and here is my key just go"

David walked down the hall and collapsed crying 'I've killed four people today' he thought.

"I'm a fucking freak" he said to himself.

After a while he got up and went to the office and saw Amata siting at a table "Hey" he said sitting down with a grunt.

"What the hell happened to you?" she said concerned.

"Guards shot me" that was all he said.

His face was going pale and he was losing blood fast.

"Get to the exit, I'll meet you there." She said.

"Ok" he got up and went in the office.

He logged on the terminal and looked at the different Vault-Tec info.

At the bottom was a sign that said Open Overseers Tunnel.

There was also some scouting information from outside so he decided to download it to his Pip-Boy.

The Oval shaped desk rose off the ground using pistons and then there it was the tunnel.

He walked into the tunnel and didn't shut it behind him.

This decision would change the course of his life forever.

He walked down the dark halls hoping to leave Vault 101.

He found the giant cog shaped steel door. There was a panel next to the door with a big lever on it.

He pulled the lever down and an alarm started to go off and lights were flashing.

"You did it!" David turned around and Amata was standing there.

"I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help" he said to Amata.

"No it was all you" she responded.

"Come with me Amata" he said breaking the silence.

The question rocked her "I don't know"

He sighed heavily "Amata, I-I love you, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever –"

Amata leaped onto him kissing him wildly "You could've stopped at I love you"

"I take that as a yes?" he said hopefully "Yes" she responded kissing him.

"Hey lovebirds" shouted a voice then a gunshot "Damnit Park don't fire"

"Get out of here now" said Officer Wolfe one of the Vault security officers.

"Thank you" he responded as he walked out the cog shaped opening still carrying Amata.

"Hey I need to drop you for a sec" he said in pain grabbing at his leg.

He got up and turned back at Vault 101 suddenly the sirens came on and the door slid shut.

"No turning back now" said Amata as she looked at David and noticed he was pale and loosing blood.

"Let's keep moving" said David.

They got up and walked down the tunnel exiting Vault 101 there was a door with light poking through.

They opened and were blinded at first but their eyes adjusted to the light.

"My God" they both said.

War. War never changes.

Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from God to justice to simple, psychotic the year 2077, after millennia of armed conflict, the destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter of human history. For man had succeeded in destroying the world - but war, war never changes.

They emerged from Vault 101 into the world.

"My god it's all gone" said Amata in despair as they looked over a destroyed town.

"Here I downloaded some scouting reports from your father's terminal let's see if we can point out any landmarks" he said.

After a while searching David said "YES!"

"What" said Amata?

"I found a town not far from here in the report" said

David grabbed her and gave her a huge kiss and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Let's go" said Amata joyfully.

"I won't make it there alone" said David pointing to his leg all bloodied.

She looked him in the eyes "we'll do it together" she said to him.

David wrapped his arm around her and walked down into the destroyed town.

Looking at the mail drop box Amata said, "Wait here" she opened it and pulled out two grenades a red canister attached to an inhaler and a bottle of something called Rad-X.

"Look what I found" said Amata as she showed him the stuff.

"Wow" he said surprised.

David wrapped his arms around Amata again and they walked down the destroyed road at the end there was a shack that was intact and an old destroyed house.

Amata set him down and walked over to the mailbox opened it up there was a letter in it from Vault-Tec.

'I'll read this later' she thought.

"Lets see if there is medical supplies in there" she said just as a woman came out.

"Time to die!" she said.

David pulled out his pistol but he wasn't fast enough the woman shot him in the arm.

Then David shot at her three times two hitting her. One in the arm one in the chest.

"Ahhh Fuck" he said painfully. Amata went to the body hoping to find some medical supplies.

Instead she found a sack of bottle caps. 'Did she collect caps or something' she thought.

"Look at that" said David pointing to a sign that said "Megaton" with an arrow pointing down a beaten path.

"Lets follow it" said Amata

"Ok" said David. They walked up the path and then they saw it. A giant rusted metal structure with a robot outside.

"Welcome -to -Megaton –friendliest- town -around" said the robot.

"Hey you up here" they looked up and saw an African American man standing over a platform.

"Thank god, My boyfriend needs medical attention." Shouted Amata.

"Alright you can come in the name is Stockholm sentry of Megaton" he said back

The giant doors lifted up and they entered Megaton.

"My my another newcomer" said a man with dark skin .

"Sir my boyfriend needs medical attention" said Amata.

"Well you'd better see Doc Church I'm Lucas by the way Lucas Simms"

"Pleasure to meet you Lucas we just came out of the Vault" said Amata rushing off.

"Is that what I think it is" said David as he pointed to the center of the crater.

"Yup" said Amata. There was an unexploded nuke in the middle of the town.

Suddenly David collapsed he had lost too much blood Amata picked him up and struggled to the building labeled "Clinic"

She walked in and said "My boyfriend needs h-"

"I'm Doc Church and I run this clinic before anything you need to know the rules rule one don't bother me and if you do then you better be damn near dead"

"My boyfriend has lost too much blood in has been shot please help us " she said almost crying.

"Alright alright" he said. The Doc looked at David and said "I can fix him up for 100 caps"

"What you mean bottle caps is that what you use for currency out here?"

"Yes now are you going to pay me or will he die" said Doc Impatiently.

"Here take them" said Amata giving him the bag of caps.

"We'll sort those out later" said Church. "You might want to leave now" he said

"Why" asked Amata concerned about him "Is there something wrong"

"No he might scream though and there might be blood" He said.

David opened his eyes "What where am I"

"At the doctor" said Amata coming over and gave him a kiss.

"Oh ok good" he said dreamily. "Hi dad" he said the blurry figure infront of him.

" His dad was the doctor in the vault" said Amata nervously.

"Alright now go" he said. Sternly

Amata left the room worried and then she heard a scream from inside.
