Hello, once again! Wow, it's been a long while since I was here, but that's because my computer crashed, and I lost everything to do with New San Andreas. But not to worry! I now have a new laptop, made especially for authors, so I have written this, and will continue to write New San Andreas very soon! Hope you enjoy Fallout 4: Tale of Three Adventurers!
Chapter 1
Death and Rebirth
I stared at my reflection in the mirror, the steam from the hot water in the basin lifting up around me, clearing my vision. I was an alright guy. Rust blonde hair, hazel eyes, and a well sculpted face. I was just shaving the last bit of my stubble, as I heard a knock at the door. I walked away, drying my face with a wash-cloth, throwing it toward the laundry on my way down the hallway. I opened the door to see a man, in his late forties, holding a clipboard. He explained that he was from Vault-Tec, and was signing people up for Vault 111, the local vault on the edge of town. I was happy to accept. I wrote down my information.
Name: Joshua
Age: 19
Strength: 5
Perception: 7
Endurance: 4
Charisma: 6
Intelligence: 7
Luck: 4
I then realised I had to do some stuff before my girlfriend, Jaxine, came home, so I asked if I was able to take the paperwork and give it to him later. He explained it was alright if I did that, but I had to have it ready by 12:00 pm sharp. I waved a friendly goodbye, I walked over to the couch, and sat down, unzipping my red jacket, allowing my white t-shirt to show through. I turned on the T.V. and switched to the Japanese channel, to watch a new cartoon they were showing. It was about a guy who trained for 3 years to become strong, that he became so strong, he went bald, but he could now kill enemies with one punch. I can't remember the name.
I then heard a siren, and the T.V. flickered, showing a stressed news reporter with a picture of an atomic explosion next to him, while he explained that there had been nuclear detonations all over the area outside of Sanctuary Hills, the town I lived in. I sighed, thinking this was the reason I left Australia, because of all the violence. I saw everyone starting to run towards the Vault, so I grabbed my phone, and a cold bottle of Nuka Cola (What, I was thirsty!), and ran through the front door, out into the world of devestation.
I ran toward the Vault, meeting up with Seth, and Nora, my next door neighbours. I noticed Nora holding baby Shaun. I saw them get through the gate safely, and I saw the security around the perimeter if the Vault, so people couldn't sneak in. But I knew I couldn't die. So I just ran.
I ran through the gate, attempting to get through without being stopped, as I hadn't had a chance to finish my registration papers given to me by the Vault-Tec rep. One of the guys in the Brotherhood of Steel power armour, a T51b to be precise, tried to stop me, but I elbowed him in the neck, one of the areas unprotected by the power armour, and he keeled over, so I sprinted toward the elevator control panel, seeing people I knew waiting on the platform, including Seth, Nora and baby Shaun. I tackled the guy in the elevator control booth, so I could make it into the vault, slamming the button at the same time, starting the elevator, when all of a sudden.
Boom.
We saw it. The atomic bomb was dropped on Sanctuary Hills, and as the people on the platform started to panic, it started moving down, as I sprinted to it, and slid along the hard metal down onto it, landing like a ninja.
As the elevator came to a stop, I stood up, and looked around. Seeing Seth, with Nora standing next to him holding baby Shaun. We walked forward, stepping off the platform, and were addressed by a man in a white lab coat, and a spandex suit underneath, giving us our own suit, which was primarily blue, with yellow strips running around the collar, and down both sides of the zipper, and going around the waist, with a big '111' emblazoned in the same yellow material on the back of the suit. These suits were called Vault suits. We were then directed toward a row of 14 grey pods, with numbers 1 through 14 on each door. As we stepped in, we heard a female android voice over the intercom of the lab.
"Cryogenic statis pods 1 through 14 activated. Cryosleep in 3, 2, 1…"
"Cryosleep deactivated, Pod 9 opening."
I shook my head, and saw 2 silhouettes walking towards a pod. Nora's pod. The door opened, and Nora woke up, "Is it, is it over?" She asked, while trying to comfort Shaun, who had started crying. I heard a banging sound, and noticed Seth's pod rattling, alerting me of his awakening. I noticed a gun on the male kidnapper, and I jumped a few steps ahead, thinking of what could happen, so I started looking for a way to open my pod door, when I noticed a crack near where the control panel on the outside of my pod was, and just then I heard Nora exclaim as a gun was pointed at her. So I brought my fist up, and…
"Pod 5 emergency opening."
The kidnappers turned around to see my pod opening, but they couldn't see me. I grabbed a 10mm pistol I found lying on the ground, loaded a bullet in the chamber, and saw a green glowing button on the side. I pressed it.
It turned everything a tinge of green, but the kidnappers were fully green. This thing was amazing. It allowed me to target a certain part of a person or threat, and then choose that place to shoot. I targeted both the kidnappers' heads, and emerged from the darkness, to shoot them. Surprisingly, their bodies imploded when I shot them. Shaun flew up in the air, and I caught him just as he was about to hit the ground.
I walked over to Nora's pod to hand him back to her, but I was too late. The kidnappers had already shot her. I decided to hand Shaun over to Seth, but he had already re-entered cryosleep. But I couldn't leave Shaun out here all by himself. So I held him close to me in a cradling position, and entered my pod again, after getting my pod door fully fixed by the Securitrons, and re-entered cryosleep with Shaun asleep in my arms.
I woke up in a state of panic, with Shaun crying, and I saw Seth standing there. He must have opened the pod, as the door was open, and had his arms extended out towards me. I pushed Shaun forward, but instead of grabbing Shaun, Seth grabbed me as well, capturing me in a full hug. I was surprised, but when I heard him crying, and saying thank you over and over, I understood, as I had saved Shaun, and he was grateful for that. Seth took Shaun, and had a quiet moment with him, assuring him everything was alright. I checked on the kidnappers, and made sure they were dead, whilst taking the M4 carbine rifle for myself. I walked toward the exit of the Vault, and I heard Seth follow. I pressed a button under the intercom, and the door hissed open.
Hoped you liked it! Read and review!
