One Shot, One Kill
AN: this is my first Fan fic so don't feed me to the yao gui lol, it will follow my fallout character in first person (he's a sniper) and I will try to follow the main and side quest storyline… for now… I will start with the war never changes quote ( I hope I don't screw it up too much…) .
War… war never changes. since the dawn of man kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, Blood has been spilled for every reason possible. Religion, money, to simple Psychotic rage. In the year 2077, after a millennia of armed conflict, china and the united states launched nuclear warheads at each other. The world was plunged into a world of nuclear hellfire and radiation. Few were spared to the harshness of the atomic wasteland and took refuge in underground shelters known as vaults. The vaults were set to open to a set amount of time all except those in vault 101. You were born here, you will die here, because in vault 101 nobody ever leaves. Ever.
The cafeteria's dark that's strange I thought as I walked in and was blinded by the lights "Happy birthday Sam" I heard from the group of people in front of me, surprise party I thought.
"Stanly you turned the light on too fast, you blinded the poor kid" a voice said. My dad approached me he had a rough five o' clock shadow and graying hair "Happy birthday son finally ten if only your mother… he said as the overseer cut him off .
The overseer had dark skin with grey hair and hazel eyes. He was only nice to select people and made a big emphasis on the term "we are born in the vault, we die in the vault."
"Congratulations young man, I don't think I have to tell you what an important day this is, do I?" The overseer said with a fake smile
"No sir, you don't" I said with an equally fake smile, douche I thought to myself.
" When you turn ten down here, you are ready to take on your very own vault responsibilities, so here, your very own pip-boy 3,000, get used to it."
I put the pip boy on my left arm and played with it, was so cool.
"Thank you sir" I said "Don't mention it, you will be getting your first work assignment tomorrow" he replied with a laugh.
Douche, I thought again " Ok pal, how about you go have fun, your only ten once you know" he said with a smile "Ok dad" I replied.
Not really having any other friends, I walked up to Amata. "Happy birthday" she said with a smile "we did a good job hiding it from you didn't we?" "you sure did, I had no idea" I replied, there's that weird feeling again I thought. I keep on getting this weird feeling every time I'm around Amata.
"So… who's your favorite barbarian?" she said pulling me out of thought. I smiled I had an idea of what she got me "Grognak" I said." Well…" she said pulling out a comic book from behind her back "Surprise" "Grognak issue number 14 with no missing pages" "Wow, thanks Amata" I said, giving her a hug, The feeling got a lot stronger then. " I have been missing this one how did you know?" I asked " Just lucky I guess" she said with a smile. " So can I-" she was cut off by Andy's saw turning on " attention everyone it is time to cut the cake" he said with his British accent. "NO ANDY!" everyone shouted, but it was to late, the saw went through the cake and splattered it on everyone " Oh dear, I am simply mortified about the cake" Andy said.
I reached to my face and wiped off some icing and tasted it. Chocolate, my favorite I thought, I continued to wipe icing off my face, I stopped when I reached a scar on my chin and remembered the day when I got it.
"Give me back my teddy bear Butch" I heard a voice say in the halls, on my way to baseball practice " No, I think I'll throw it to the Radroches" another voice said. I ran over to the voices and I saw Butch holding a girl's teddy bear out of her reach "Butch, give her the bear back" I said " Butch said with a smirk, " I think I might give it to your mom instead oh wait…" that was it. I tackled him to the floor and started hitting him as hard as I could he kicked me off o him and wiped the blood off his face, he looked on the verge of tears. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out his switchblade and clicked it open
"Butch take it easy" I said backing away, "Butch let it go " Amata said as she watched but Butch didn't listen. He charged at me and made a wicked swing for my neck with his knife, I jumped back, but I felt a hot pain on my face put my hand to it and it was wet, blood, I thought. Just the officer Gomez rounded the corner " Butch what are you doing?" as he ran and held butch back "Go to the infirmary and get yourself cleaned up he said. Butch just stared at me Gomez said " Get a move on Butch" Butch scowled at me and walked off. Gomez turned to me and Amata " Are you to alright?" "He got me with his switchblade" I said removing my hand to show Gomez the cut "Why that little…" Gomez said " You go to the infirmary to and get checked out by your dad" he said as he walked down the hall "I'm going to have a little talk with Butch" he said as he rounded the corner I looked around and saw Amata's bear on the ground. I picked it up and walked "Here's your bear back ummm…" not knowing her name "Amata" she said taking the bear "what's your name?" she asked. "Sam" I replied "thanks Sam" she said and leaned over, kissed my on the cheek and ran off. I touched the spot where she kissed, wow, I thought.
I walked up to Mrs. Palmer "Happy birthday dear I made you a sweet roll just for the occasion. Awsome I love her sweet rolls, "You didn't have to get me a present Mrs. Palmer" "Oh fiddlesticks it's a big deal turning ten why, I remember when your father came in with you…" my high perception caught this "When my father came in with me?" I said "Oh listen to me ramble go have fun with your party" she said quickly and ran off.
That was strange I thought, then Butch walked up to me. "I'm hungry and that stupid robot broke the cake, give me that sweet roll" he said menacingly " You do look hungry Butch, did your mom drink u all the ration coupons again?" I said with a smirk, he went wide eyed "Why you" he started as he swung a punch at me, I ducked and nailed him right hook in the face with a right, then Officer Gomez showed up, picked butch up and threw him clear out of the room and started yelling at him outside. Amata ran up to me " what was that all about?" "That jerk tried to steal my sweet roll" I said annoyed "God, he is such a butthead, you can always count on him to make an ass of him self ha-ha get it?" I laughed back and broke the sweet roll in half you want part of it "sure, thanks I love Mrs. Palmers sweet rolls she said as she walked away an started eating it. My dad walked up to me "Butch giving you trouble again?" he asked concerned "Don't worry dad, I can take care of Butch raising my fists in a mock fight stance, dad smiled "Glad to hear it, now me and Jonas have a little surprise for you in the reactor level "Cool" I said and hurried into the reactor room to see Jonas
"What are you doing down here young man? I thought kids weren't allowed on the reactor level " Hey old man! I'm not a kid anymore I'm ten" I said fake angry voice" calm down son I was just kidding" Jonas said "I know me too" I said in the same angry voice. "Hey James your son's a natural born liar" he said with a smile " What?" dad said confused "Nothing, and what's the surprise? I asked eagerly He went behind a box and took out a leaver action rifle. It's a bb gun he said as he handed it to me. I took time getting a feel for it "So do you like it?" dad asked "This… is… AMAZING!" I said I worked the action and loaded it with the bb's Jonas gave me.
"Me and Jonas even set up a shooting range for you down here so you can practice" he said gesturing to the 3 targets in the other room "Can I try it out now?" I asked eagerly "Sure" he said "You need to know how to use-" before he could finish the sentence I put the rifle to my shoulder, aimed down the sights and fired quickly three times hitting all the targets. "Son, how did you do that?" dad asked in shock "Well… I "borrowed" your guns& bullets magazine and it had an article on beginner shooters" I said with a shrug "Doc, remind me not to piss your kid off" Jonas noted as he looked at the targets. Then his face hardened " Careful it's a Radraoch." I took aim at the roaches' head and fired. Its head made a big mess of brain matter and flesh
mess "look at you Mr. roach hunter" dad said "Hey Jonas take a picture" dad said. Jonas got the camera and me and dad got in position "smile" Jonas said and then the camera flash blinded me.
