"Come on Brotch! I don't want to be a personal trainer, Gomez taught me self defense, I do football, baseball and wrestling, I can bench 210lbs and squat 250! I have been hitting the weight room! My dad has been teaching me how to patch myself up if I'm injured in the field. Plus I have been taking a police science exam." A man named Kendrick Graham was arguing with his teacher, wanting to be a security guard like his friend, Paul Hannon's dad and Officer Gomez.
Kendrick is a tall man, 165 pounds of pure muscle, black, blue eyes, black hair, triple rails haircut. His father, James Graham is a doctor, his mother died giving birth.
"Mr. Graham, you remind me of a young me, strong, smart and determined. I wanted to be a teacher, I got chapel, Mr. Abernacke saw what I do inside of you right now. You want you know you will make a difference, this test is a joke. Your like a son to me, ever since my wife was pregnant I wanted a son, but cancer hit...so here, vault security officer on one condition..." Kendrick looked at his favorite teacher, . "What?"
"You hit a homerun today!" Mr. Brotch cracked a smile.
Later that night, in the lower level, baseball stadium.
Kendrick was playing catcher. His blue jersey with a yellow 101 looking bold and proud. His catcher hear was yellow. His dad walked up to him. "Son this is your last game. The Vault Dwellers, your team, playing the infamous Timberwolves! I love you, you have become stronger then most adults, this is your baseball mvp season, just like in football, be proud, because I know your mother would be!" James embraced his son, before Coach Johnson sent him out to the field.
For the Vault Dwellers, Paul Hannon is taking the mound, Graham behind the plate, Butch at first, Susie Mack at 3rd, Freddie Gomez at 2nd. Outfielders are Brandon Arroyo, Johnathan Benson and Jimmy Mallett.
Bottom 9th, Hannon on 3rd, butch on first. Wally Mack pitching for the Timberwolves, Kendrick up to bat.
"Strike 2! 0-2 count." Alphonse Almadoovar. The Vault 101 overseer was being the umpire. Wally Mack looked at Kendrick laughed and threw a Palmball, quick right corner high. Kendrick made contact. It flew high.
"Down the field, high and deep, its...GONE! Walk off homerun, vault dwellers win 7-6! Santamone!" Kendrick rounded the bases, at home was his father James and the Overseer presenting him with the MVP trophy.
3 years later, 2277.
"Wake up, Wake up! Come on, you need to get up!" Amata Almadoovar, the Overseer's daughter and Kendrick's girlfriend is shaking him awake. "Huh, w...hats going on? Amata, what are you doing?"
"It's your father, he left the vault, My father has gone crazy, he's now trying to get after you, hes kidnapped and killed Jonas. There is also a radroach infestation. I don't know how many are dead... I don't know." Amat starts to choke up. Kendrick comforts her.
"Hey its all right, I'm here for you, don't worry at all. We will get through this." Amata starts to get better, she hands Blake a 10mm Pistol and 60 rounds. "I stole this from my father. You will need. Now get going!" Amata runs searches his drawer and puts on his Vault Dwellers Baseball cap that's blue and has a yellow 101 I'm a blue circle in a yellow vault cog. He goes to his first aid kit and grabbed 10 stimpacks and 2 Med-X. He grabs his bb gun and 100 bb's and a baseball bat. He heads out the vault
"Hey there you are!" Officer Wolfe is attacked by a group of radroaches, Kendrick charges smashing the radroaches with a baseball bat. "Now your tu-" Kendrick hits him in the head, knocking him out.
"Hey! I need your help, My mom is trapped in there with the radroaches! You gotta help her!" Butch is pleading for help from Kendrick. "Sure Butch." Butch's jaw drops. "Just like that, even after how much I was a bully to you!?"
Kendrick says to him, "Hey, if I'm kind to you, you might be kind back. I don't hold grudges." He pulls out his pistol and runs towards the room with Butch.
"Thank you! Oh my god, thank you!" All the radroaches in Mrs. Deloria's room are dead, butch killing 1 and Kendrick killing all other 5.
"Hey man, I'm sorry again for all the trouble. But hey you can join the tunnel snakes! Here's a jacket!" Butch hands Kendrick a tunnel snakes jacket.
"Yeah, there he is, come here yo-" a security officer is cut off by Butch stabbing him in the next with a kitchen knife. KilliKilling him.
"Thanks Butch! Here, catch you will need it." He throws Butch the Uzi and rounds on the guard to him. Kendrick runs off towards his dad's office.
"Stanley, come on! Use the 9mm pistol!" A group of rad roaches charge them. Gomez fires his 5.56 Assault Rifle killing a little under half. Coach Johnson fires his 20 gauge double barrel shotgun, while Stanley shot his 9mm pistol killing one and Andy the robot killing the rest. The group relaxes.
"No get away from her!" Kendrick shoots the radroaches killing them all with his bb gun. The were attacking Agnes Taylor, who was like a grandma to Graham ever since his mother died. Kendrick kneeled next to her.
"Rest in peace, Agnes your were one of my most favorite people...goodbye." A tear sheds as Kendrick closed her eyes and walks away.
"Another one dead! I can't wait for Graham to come running!" Officer Taylor loads his assault rifle next to Officer O'Brien. They gunned down over 15 vault citizens trying to escape.
"Another group, of roaches, come one!" Gomez fires his assault rifle, Kendrick comes running in, firing his 10mm pistol, killing the rest. "Gomez! Am I glad to see you, where is everyone."
"In their quaters, me and a few others are here. Johnson, Stanley and Andy. We're surviving. Also old lady Palmer is in the office she twisted her ankle. She's resting now. Go grab a Super Stimpack and rad away. Also if you want grab your dad's boblehead. No point of checking the terminal for clues. We searched." The two embrace. Kendrick grabs the bobble head, Super-Stimpack and Rad Away. He then head to the vault atrium.
"We're getting here just like the doctor!" Tom heads down the aisle being shot in the leg dropping to the ground. His wife is being shot at. Kendrick shoots the guards killing them. "Hey you guys ok?"
They mod but Tom holds his knee. "All right take this med-x and head to my dad's office. Gomez, Johnson, Andy, Stanley and Old Lady Palmer are waiting there." He helps the two up and they head to the office quickly.
"I cant believe this one day, I'm on my first day on the job, cracked down the Arroyo' s selling drugs and take them into custody. Now I'm fighting my co workers. At least they taught me something, so Thank you training and Police Science!" He turns comes across a group of radroaches, killing them easily with the baseball bat. He heads into the computer room, where he sees a dead engineer.
Cheif O'Hannon comes in. And spots Kendrick, walks right past. And drops something. Kendrick looks dumbfounded. "Your not going to fight me?" The Cheif laughs. "Nah, Paul said to not hurt you, and I love my boy I couldn't stand if he wouldnt talk to mw, plus I thought you were off to a good start in the security job." He walks away. The thing he dropped was Kendrick's security armor.
"Amata! Tell us, I won't hurt ypu, but Officer Mack and Wally would gladly. I cant stop them, now Amata talk!" The overseer screams at his daughter. The Macks wind up their batons, smashing her in the knees causing her to squeal in pain.
"OW! Dad, stop! I won't tell, he's my friend! I love him!" The overseer shows grief, but returns to a normal expression as soon as a guard steps in. "What is it? Any report on Graham?"
Just then the guards does a high crotch take down on Alphonse. He Judo Chops Wally in the throat. Then he puts his foot in the other Mack' s stomach, rolls to his back sends him to his back, putting him in a headlock and knocks him out. He takes off his helmet and throws it aside. He picks up the Overaeer and puts him against the wall with a hard slam.
He raises his pistol and points it at his head. "Now! Tell me, how do I get out!" He head butts Alphonse. "I will never tell you, I would see my daughter die before I betray the vault!" Kendrick shoots Alphonse in the leg and drops him.
"Ouch! You Bastard shit! Damn you to hell!" He then pistol whips Alphonse in the head to knock him out. He searches his pockets and grey the keys to the Overseer's office and password to the computer.
"Amata are you o-" Amata kisses him, for a long moment they feel like their is nothing going on. The two eventually let go. Kendrick crackers a smile. "I take that as a yes, rigth?" Amata mods. "Yep, now leads head out of here. I need to get some stuff see you at the entrance."
Amata and Kendrick part ways down the hall. Kendrick finds the lifeless body of Jonas in a chair. He closes his eyes and grab a holotape in his coat pocket. He says a prayer and puts it in his vault 101 backpack that he got from a security locker in the room. He opens up the door and steps in.
"Here's where the magic happens. I need to see what I can find." Kendrick searches for clues, finding none, but finding 5 stimpacks, 1 super stimpack, 1 container of mentats, 1 med-x and 100 rounds of 10mm ammo. He punches the password in the computer.
"Ok, tunnel ent-WHAT! Scouting D.C logs? Message from vault 112 I need to read these right now- what is that noise, footsteps? Need to download these!" He downloads the notes to his pip boy 3000 and opens the entrance to a underground cave. He heads down the steps into a hallway.
Kendrick steps on a radroach, injuring it. Opening a door down the corridor, and into a giant room with a lever, its the entrance. He is greeted by Amata. "Hi Amata." She replied "Hi Kendrick. Here it is."
Kendrick whistles. "Wooo, nice place here Amata. Now the codes already punched In, anyhow what is the code?" Amata's face turns to dread. "It's already in, but I cant tell you, I changed the code. And if you get back in, my father will go even more berserk and kill innocents just because they know your name! I'm sorry..." she starts to tear up. Kendrick hugs her and pulls the lever.
He hugs her as the cog starts to unwind. "Come with me Amata. Let's explore the wastes together." She kisses him. "I can't. I thought about it and packed my stuff, but I'm the only one who can talk sense I'm in my father. I love you...goodbye." The the cog unwinds and guards pile in. Kendrick runs out the entrance, guards stopped there.
"I'm not going out the-" a guard is caught off as Kendrick shoots him in the head killing him in cold blood, as that was the guard who killed Jonas. The cog immediately turns back as howls and telling fill the room.
Kendrick puts his weapons away. "Damn, I lost my fucking home." Kendrick says a hail Mary and walks away. I'm his mind, he felt guility, killing his first man in cold blood. Just then a radio station named Galaxy News Radio appeared on his pip boy. A song maybe plays
He heads toward the door.
"Maybe the one who will."
Kendrick looks straight the messed up door. Chin high.
"Give into, then I will say Maybe!"
kendricks opens the door. The song receptions messed up and repeats until fading off.
"Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe..."
The Lone Wanderer is born.
