Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Fallout. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own Fallout, Microsoft and a few others do.

(Last of Caeser's Legion camps, Arizona.)

Another Legionary fell to the ground as the remaining 15 Legionaries huddled around rocks as their enemy continued to rain bullets down on them.

Under any circumstances, they might have found this normal, the NCR, Brotherhood of Steel or any number of factions wanted to destroy them.

The thing that was NOT normal, was Legionaries attacking their own comrades, though they could clearly see 20 or so Legionaries holding Varmint Rifles as they held fire as their leader walked up to the cliff.

"Legionaries of Caesar, this will be your last chance to surrender before the Legate orders us to finish you off, any of you that wish to join our ranks… Step forward."

The centurion said as he held up his hunting rifle, the Legionaries exchanged looks, most of them had joined only a few weeks ago after the battle of Hoover Dam which the Legion had won with heavy losses on their side.

"How the hell do we know they aren't lying? Their traitors, all traitors must be slaughtered like cattle!"

One Legionary said as he rose to fire his Magnum before one of the enemy Legionaries shot him in the head, killing him.

"Anyone else wish to join their fallen comrade? Caesar is gone, brothers…. He fell in the battle for Hoover dam… It was the Legate that led us to glory… It was he who gathered us… Not as slavers… Not as slaughters…. But as soldiers with a common goal… He offers you the same."

The Centurion said as 3 more Legionaries rose and were killed before they could fire a shot, their magnum rounds hitting the cliffside.

"Stop, stop, we surrender!"

One of the Legionaries said as he and 6 others rose and raised their hands.

The others looked at them before the Centurion and the Legionaries raised their rifles, the remaining Legionaries grunted and did the same.

They watched the Centurion and a squad of Legionaries walk down the cliff towards them as the Centurion placed a hand on their shoulders.

"Welcome to the new legion, brother…. Legionaries, secure any weapons and ammo in the camp… We will be moving north tomorrow and the journey will be a long one."

The Centurion said as the 20 Legionaries descended upon the camp.

(New Legion Camp, 2 miles outside of flagstaff.)

The Centurion walked into the camp past 2 Veteran Legionaries as they stood at the gate, both held 12.7MM submachine guns and looked at the Centurion with respect and yet hostility.

"The Legate is in the back…. Camp is preparing to move out to Massachusetts tomorrow… Sir."

The legionary said as he tightened his grip on his gun as the Centurion walked past them as he nodded, they were more soldier then simple warrior and he respected that.

The Centurion walked past dozens of Legionaries, some were training and checking their weapons to make sure they were in order, others were moving crates and other supplies and others were being trained by Centurions.

"All in service to a new world recreated by strength and bravery…"

The Centurion muttered as he walked to the Legate's tent and walked inside before saluting the Legate as he bowed.

"The last of the old Legions camps have fallen and we've taken all we can from the old camps…. We are ready to move out tomorrow, Legate…. Are you sure we cannot simply take the wasteland from the raiders and carve out our new empire here? The Legion sees you as a hero after the Hoover Dam battle."

The Centurion said as he looked upon the leader of the Legion, the commander of the army outside and the one the Centurion looked upon as the true hero of the Wasteland.

The courier turned to face him, he held a machete which he placed in his belt and put his Magnum in a holster, he wore the armor of a Legate but the helmet lacked the faceguard, looking more like a skull then a human face.

"Good then… But to answer your question: no… We cannot, the NCR and Brotherhood already want vengeance on us for the old Legion's actions… Not that I blame them for what Caesar has done before Hoover Dam… We must leave… The NCR will never allow us peace and the brotherhood desires our destruction… Besides, I have heard rumors about up north… It will be a good place to plant our flag in."

The Courier said as the Centurion rose to face him, many simply new him as the Legate… The New Caesar, only the Legate's inner circle knew his name… Damion.

"Then there is no changing your mind? Your heart is truly set on moving to the north…. I will not question your judgement, you have led us against odds greater than the Legion has faced before…. I will make sure the rest of the Legion follows."

The Centurion said as Damion simply nodded and motioned for the Centurion to leave as he did so, leaving the Legate alone with his thoughts.

'Too many crimes commited by the old legion… Too many innocents slain or… I don't want to think about those crimes, the new Legion was formed at Hoover Dam, made out of soldiers new… Like the Centurions…. But many of the Old Legion had to be slain, their crimes taint the new legion…. The New Legion shall carve out its empire in the north… But it will not fight simply for power… But for the greater good.'

Damion thought as he put on his helmet and walked out of the tent, he had work to do before then, the trip would take weeks if not months and he had to check with his lieutenants to make sure they didn't have a traitor in their ranks.

The New Legion would not repeat the mistakes of the old.

Author notes

Phew, first chapter is done! Yes, I know the Legion was horrible and all that, the New Legion in the story is… Different… The story will also intersect with Fallout 4. The legion will be serving the Courier but as to why will be explained…. Next chapter will be on next Wednesday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
