Love Across The Wasteland

Prologue: A Search For a New Life

"Please have mercy on me" Colonel Augustus Autumn begged on his knees while he looked up the duel barrels of a sawed off shotgun.

Chris "The Lone Wonderer" Walker looked down the barrels of The Kneecapper sawed off shotgun. His hazel eyes darted around and looked down at Autumn who stared up at him. At five feet nine inches his shaggy black hair covered his ears and flowed around his head. The Brotherhood battled the Enclave in the rest of the building and the sounds of the fight echoed through the Purifier Room. His Regulator Duster had bullet holes all though it. Some blood dripped down from the side oh his head and dripped off of his goatee to the floor. He could hear Sentinel Sarah Lyons screamed at him to finish off the Colonel and start the purifier. He holstered his shotgun and grabbed the Colonel by his throat and pulled him up to his feet.

"You killed my father, you can stand to die that same goddamned way he did" Chris growled.

He punched Autumn in the gut causing him to double over and gasp in pain. Grabbing him by his coat he walked up the steps to the purifier in front of them. The Pip-Boy on his wrist started blaring a warning for all the radiation around them. He slammed his fist onto the door lock causing the door to slam shut behind him. He heard the pounding on the door and looked back at Sarah screaming at him. He smiled to her and then kicked Autumn to the ground as he walked over to the control panel. He took sometime to think, he thought back to his mother's favorite bible verse.

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely" he whispered to himself. "Revelations 21:6"

He smiled as he punched in the numbers and suddenly he was bombarded with radiation. He looked back down at Autumn who was starting to choke and gag and he looked up at Chris. He reached forward and gripped on to Chris's duster and Chris kicked him back to the ground. He looked down at Autumn and quickly pulled the Kneecapper out and looked down at him. "For my father" he said as he pulled both triggers of the sawed off shotgun. A gaping hole appeared in Autumn's chest as he tumbled back onto the steel floor. Chris turned and looked at Sarah as she hammered her fist on the glass. He smiled at her as he fell to his knees and crashed to the ground as blackness took him over.

Chris's eyes shot wide open as the sun peaked through his bedroom of his house in Megaton. He rubbed his hands over his face to wake him up further as he pushed the dream away. He looked over to see his dog Dogmeat perk up and look at him as he sat up in his bed. "Good morning Dogmeat, how'd you sleep?" He said with a smile as the dog barked at him. He kicked the covers off of himself to reveal his muscular body and it was covered in scars. He stretched and reached over and grabbed his pants and put them on over his boxers. He reached over and grabbed his t-shirt and put it on, followed by his boots.

"You hungry?" He said to Dogmeat as he walked out of the room. He walked down the steps and listened to the sound of the jukebox playing some music. He turned and walked over the to his kitchen as he said good morning to Wadsworth, his Mister Gutsy. He walked into his kitchen and opened his fridge to get his and Dogmeat's breakfast. He took out two mole rat steaks as well as some ant eggs and carried them outside to his grill. He started cooking their breakfast and when he was done he took a seat at his table. He sat a plate down and Dogmeat walked over and sat and waited for Chris to start eating. Chris looked down at Dogmeat and nodded, and as soon as he did Dogmeat started to eat.

Chris and Dogmeat both ate their breakfast in silence and when they were done he took their plates back in. He let out a sigh as he sat down and began to clean his guns. This was the day he had chosen to leave the Capital Wasteland and head west. There was nothing left here for him anymore except bad memories. He walked over and removed everything from his lockers and walked slowly as he carried everything of value. He walked through town all the way over to Moira's shop and walked in. He looked over to her as she sat behind the counter.

"Oh hey Chris, boy you sure got a lot of things" Moira said with a chuckle.

"Yup I'm leaving town today, well leaving the area. I'm selling everything so I have caps and food" He said as he sat everything down.

"Aw where are you going?" she asked as she walked around to look at everything he had brought in.

"West, I'm going to need all your food, stimpaks, and water. I also need all .308 rounds, twelve gauge rounds, darts, and 5.56 rounds." Chris said as he placed a cigarette in his mouth and lit it up. "Oh and all of your smokes too."

She nodded and walked back behind the counter and opened the lockers. She took out all of the ammo that he had requested as well as the food, stimpaks, water, and cartons of cigarettes. She sat it all down on the counter in front of Chris who took it and placed it into a sack that held his sniper rifle, assault rifle, Alien Disintegrator and combat shotgun. He threw it on and checked his sawed off shotgun, alien blaster, and dart gun. He looked back to Moira as she wrote everything out on a piece of paper. She did a tally of everything and racked up all the numbers and looked at him.

"Well, you will be getting about two thousand caps today" she said with a smile.

"Thanks" he said as he opened another sack and she dropped the smaller sack into it. He looked back up at her and smiled, "Take care Moira" he said as he left the store.

He looked down at his Pip-Boy and saw it was only eight in the morning. Might as well go say by to Three Dog…and Sarah, he thought as he walked to the exit of Megaton. He dropped the key to his house off at Lucas's house and left for good. He looked down to Dogmeat as they traveled to the Galaxy News Radio building. He went in passing a few Brotherhood of Steel guards who saluted him. He walked in and went in to Three Dog's office and said his goodbyes. As he walked out of the building he was stopped by a stunning blonde. He looked at her as she smiled to him, to which he returned the smile. "Hey Sarah" He said as he walked to her.

"Hey, what are you doing out this way?" she said looking at him.

"Saying goodbye to Three Dog, and now saying goodbye to you" he said in a saddened tone.

"What?" she said looking at him.

"I'm leaving today, heading west. There is nothing left for me here, no more fights, no more war. I'm going out to start a new life somewhere else. Sorry, but nothing is going to stop me, take care" He said.

He looked at her as he walked past her and left the area. He could hear her yelling things at him but he didn't stop or turn around. He knew if he did seeing her break down the way she was would only make it harder…for them both. He continued out across the wasteland towards the setting sun. He walked into the mountains and stopped and looked back out across the wasteland where he had just spent the last year of his life. He tipped his head down and looked to Dogmeat who looked back up at him. He turned and looked back out to the west and reassumed walking into the setting sun.

(Two years later)

Chris was now a twenty one year old man and he had seen a lot across the country. He now sat in front of a campfire cooking dinner for him and Dogmeat. He took sometime and looked at his Pip-Boy and saw he was near a town called Goodsprings. He took some of the gecko meat off of the kabob and tossed it to Dogmeat who caught it quickly. He pulled one off for himself and ate it as he cleaned his sniper rifle. He had kept the sniper rifle, sawed off shotgun, dart gun, and assault rifle. He had stopped in the area to relax for a few day in the new area around this desert area. He looked out across the horizon to the north and saw a bright glow in the sky. He had seen the light for the past week now and he wanted to see what it was. His plan in the morning was going to go and see what it was but for now he just wanted to relax.

He reached into his pack and pulled a mirror out and looked at his face. He looked at his goatee and reached over to grab his knife. He looked at himself and began to trim up the facial hair as he looked at himself in the mirror. He smiled at how good of a job he did and then reached back over and grabbed a bottle of whiskey. He opened it up and took a sip of it and then looked over to Dogmeat. He smiled as his dog walked over to him and sat next to him. He tipped the bottle up and poured some out as to which Dogmeat began to lap up the liquid. He smiled and then took another drink for himself.

"Well, tomorrow we go and find out what that light is, but for now we just relax and listen to some music" Chris said as he took another swig of the drink and then let the dog have another.

He listened to the music from a radio called Radio New Vegas. He listened to the music and looked up at the night sky to see not a cloud in the sky. He thought the area was beautiful and far better then the wasteland he left two years ago. He took a drag on a cigarette and listened to the calls of geckos and coyotes. He looked over as Dogmeat started to sleep next to him. He took a final drag on his smoke and then flicked it into the fire. He cocked the action of the assault rife and sat his new 9mm down next to it. He rolled his old duster up and placed it back into his sack and used it as a pillow. He laid back and began to close his eyes when a sudden gunshot near by made his sit up quickly.

He gripped his 9mm and looked in the direction the shot had came from. He looked and under a water tower to see about six men standing around. The man in a checkered suit caught his attention first and he grabbed his sniper rifle. He looked through the scope just as the man disappeared from sight. He looked to the other men as they picked up an auburn colored haired woman. He could see these men had just shot and possibly killed a woman. That was something he would never accept, he took a brief second to read the back of their shirts. "The Great Khans" he whispered as he watched them place her into hole.

He flicked the safety off and looked as the two men started to burry her in the hole. He placed the cross hairs on the first man with his back to him. He moved the crosshairs up from the center of the man's back to the back of his head. He took a deep breath and then fired the shot. He watched as the top of the man's head flew off as he slumped to the right. He quickly turned the gun to the second man who was going for his lever action rifle. Chris quickly shot the man's hand just as he gripped a hold of the weapon. He could hear the man scream out in pain as his hand had been cut off from the bullet. He quickly shut the man up quickly by firing a shot through the man's throat sending blood gushing out of the bullet hole.

"Come on Dogmeat" He said quickly as he threw his duster on. He placed his weapons into the sack, all except his 9mm. He ran across the open ground towards the cemetery in front of him. He ran in and raised his pistol up and looked around to see there was no threat. He holstered the pistol and ran over to the girl and brushed the dirt away from her. He was first caught by the beauty of the woman and he figured she was about the same age as him. The next thing he saw was the bullet wound in her head on the left side of her head.

He reached down and pressed his fingers to her neck and felt nothing. He lowered his head but then looked back up to when he felt a beat. He waited and then he felt another and his eyes grew wide when he figured out she was still alive. He gently picked her up and turned and stopped quickly. He looked at a robot looking at him…well he thought it was. The robot moved around on one wheel and it's chest was a box shape with arms tapering down to three prong pinchers. There was a TV screen with a cowboy face on it with a with a large smile on it's face.

"Howdy partner, I'm Victor" it said to him.

"Uh hi Victor, I'm Chris, I need to get her to a doctor. We can chit chat latter where is the closest doctor?" Chris asked as he hefted the woman in his arms.

"Well there's Doc Mitchell in town" Victor said to him.

"Show me, Dogmeat come" Chris said.

They walked through the town and the robot led them towards a house on a hill. The robot named Victor pointed to it and he walked up and pounded on the door. He listened as an older man walked to the door telling him to calm down. The door opened and he looked at the older man. He had a bald head and a white mustache and wore some older clothes. He looked at the woman and then looked to Chris as he hung onto her.

"Rough night of sex?" The man said looking at him.

"No Doc…" Chris started with a sigh. "She was shot, she's alive but barely fix her up if you wouldn't mind" Chris said looking at her.

"I can do that, you can either go back into town or wait here. The choice is your's" Mitchell said as he ushered him in.

Chris walked in and Mitchell led him into a room where there was an operating table located. She sat the woman down and looked at her as he brushed her hair from her face. Damn, you are beautiful, he thought as he stepped away from her. He looked to Mitchell he was going to get a drink and then he'll be back. He turned and walked back down into the town and looked as a sign waved in front of the bar. He nodded to the old man who sat in a chair near the door. The old man nodded back to him as he walked in and almost as soon as he did Dogmeat ran forward. "Dogmeat" he barked but the did didn't listen. He looked to see another dog and they walked around one another taking in each other's scents. Chris smile and looked as a brown haired extremely beautiful woman walked up and looked at the two dogs and then to Chris. She had black leather armor on and a rifle slung over her back

"Hi, it's been some time that he has seen another dog" Chris said with a smile.

"I'm Sunny Smiles, and you" She said with a smile.

"Chris Walker, I'm a traveler and I saw someone try to kill a woman. She's up at Mitchell's now, so I'm here for a drink right now" He said looking at her.

"Well the bar is in that room right there" she said as she took a seat near the pool table.

"Dogmeat come" Chris said.

This time the dog listened and followed him into the other room near them. He walked over and saw he was the only one at the bar. He saw an older woman at the end of the bar cleaning a glass. She looked down at him and smiled as she got up and walked over to stop in front of him. He showed her the cigarette he took out of a pack and she reached under the bar and came back up with an ash tray for him. He nodded as he lit the smoke and looked back up at the woman.

"Hello stranger, I'm Trudy, what'll you have?" she asked in a tender voice.

"Two whiskeys please, and I am Chris walker and this is my dog Dogmeat" he said looking back at her.

"Is one of them for your dog?" she asked as she sat the glasses in front of him.

"Yes it is" Chris said as he sat the glass down and the dog began to lap the drink up.

"Ten caps please" she said with a smile.

"Here's thirty, two more drinks and ten for you" he said looking at her.

She smiled and thanked him for the tip as she poured two more drinks for them. He looked down at his glass and thought about the woman he saved and her beauty. Whatever those men wanted her for must have been something of high value to someone. But eight men trying to kill one woman, he wouldn't stand for it. If that woman lived he was going to help her the whole way until they caught up with them. He looked down as Dogmeat whimpered and he could see he had finished his drink. Chris smiled as he took the second glass and sat it on the ground as he picked the first one. He sat the empty glass on the bar and finished his first glass and took his second glass. He got halfway through it when Dogmeat whimpered again begging. Chris took one more sip and looked back down at the dog as he whimpered for more.

"No more buddy, I'll finish what I've got and we'll head back up to the Doc's house" Chris said as he finished his drink.

He nodded to Trudy and got up and left the bar and walked towards the exit. He walked back up to Mitchell's house and walked into see him coming out of the operating room. He let out a sigh as he looked back to Chris who stood there looking at him. He smiled slightly as he walked over to a sink and cleaned off his hands and looked over to Chris as he walked over to him. "How is she?" Chris asked looking at him.

"She'll be fine she'll probably be out for a day or two. Are you going to stay here until she's awake?" Mitchell asked him as he shut the sink off.

"Yes I will" Chris said with a nod.

"There is a spare bedroom down the hall" Mitchell said pointing down the hall.

Chris nodded and made a soft whistle and Dogmeat followed him down the hall. He opened the door and walked into the bedroom and walked over to the bed and smiled. It had been sometime since he had slept in a real bed and he couldn't wait to climb into it. He took his 9mm out of his holster and sat it on the desk next to the bed. He then stripped down to his boxers and climbed into the soft bed. He patted the side of the bed and the dog climbed up and laid next to him. He looked down at the down at his dog and smiled as he drifted off to sleep.

It had been three days since Chris had brought the woman to Mitchell's to get fixed up. He hadn't left her side and he waited for her to come around. He looked at her and was stunned by how beautiful she was. It was about noon and he went to get something to eat while Mitchell was out. He walked back in as Mitchell came into the house and looked over at him. Chris glanced back at him and then looked to the woman who was still passed out. Suddenly she groaned and rolled around in the bed causing Chris to look at her.

Her vision was blurred as her green eyes tried to scan the room around her. The sun shined through the blinds and she could make a figure near her looking at her. Soon her vision cleared and she was looking at a very handsome dark hared man looking at her. Her green eyes locked with his hazel eye and she could feel herself blush. She looked at him as he smiled softly and then called for the doctor. She looked at him as he walked over to her and looked down at her. He reached out and softly stroked her forehead and looked down at her.

"I'm Chris Walker, the guy who saved you" he said softly.

"I'm Andria Hunter, and thank you" she said weakly as she smiled to him.
