Prologue

"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 rage.

In the year2077, 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 radiation.

But 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.

In the early days, thousands were spared the horrors of the holocaust by taking refuge in enormous underground shelters, known asvaults.

But when they emerged, they had only the hell of the wastes to greet them - all except those inVault 101.

For on the fateful day, when fire rained from the sky, the giant steel door of Vault 101 slid closed... and never reopened."

There was a secret group of wastelanders, inside Vault 101.

They were undiscovered, the leader, a vulture with black onyx feathers, with a group of his friends were lead down the vault.

The vulture's parents, a scientist, and an expert marksman, found a secret entrance to Vault 101.

They had the intentions of peaceful reasoning's.

The children fled, the parents now shot to death by the Overseer and the captain of the security team who were a couple.

The vulture planned the couple's death, but not too soon.

A/N: For clarity: The Overseer was male while the Captain was female. Same with the parents', scientist male, expert marksman female. Plus I'll put quite a few references from a couple of games (TF2 etc.). Sorry for such a short chapter/Prologue!
