Next Life
"Owwww, turn off the light" moaned Six, covering his eyes
*Bark
"No way boy, I'm too tired"
*Bark, bark
"What do you mean "I need to see this"
*Bark
"Alright... Fine... Wow, this is... Amazing" replied Six, staring in awe at the sight that lay before him. Right now, him and Rex were on the top of a cliff that was overlooking a beautiful forest area. With healthy trees, shimmering green grass, life... It was gorgeous
*Bark
"I don't know what this place is... But I don't ever wanna leave, look at it all"
*Bark
"Screw the Mojave Rex, look at this!" shouted the Courier, looking over the forest. "Its so healthy, so green. Hey, their might even be non irradiated food and water here" said Courier Six happily, then suddenly he dropped in a crouching position on the ground. "You can feel that too, right Rex" asked Six, his loyal dog just nodding in agreement. Rex started sniffing the air, trying to pick up a scent.
*Bark, bark* woofed Rex, growling towards a bush. Courier tapped his Pip-Boy and suddenly two sawed off shotguns appeared in his handS. He aimed towards the bush, waiting for whatever it was to attack. "Come on out" said Six, his trigger fingers getting itchy. "I'm gonna count to thr-" Six was cut off as a giant black Yao Guai type beast jumped at him, Six accidentally dropped his guns and fell backwards. Six put up his guard as the beast started clawing at his arms. Each strike was more painful then the last, then Rex came to the rescue and leaped onto the back of the beast.
Rex bit deep into the neck of the monster, trying to hold on as the beast lashed out and tried clawing at Rex. Six quickly rolled over to his two sawed off shotguns, grabbing them and aiming at the Yao Guai and quickly firing at the beast. Rex jumped off the Yao Guai and ran to the side of his master, who was still shooting. The Yao Guai was taking shot after shot and was really feeling the damage. "Yeah you fuck, how you like that!" shouted the Courier, laughing as he shot... Until he realizd that he ran out of ammo. "That isnt good" said Six. Rex just barked in agreement. "Guess its round two huh" said Six, tapping his Pip-Boy again and the two sawed off shotguns were replaced by two power fists. "FEEL THIS!" shouted Six, rushing the beast and landing hit after hit. Torso, head, head, torso, head, torso. The Yao Guai fell to the ground after Six's volley of hits, but the thing was still breathing. "Your a tough prick huh" said Six, swapping his Power Fist for Ranger Sequoia.
"Well, guess i won" he said, putting the revolver up against the temple of the Yao Guai. "See ya later, asshole" were the last words the beast heard and then BANG!... It was dead... "Well... Thats new... Hey Rex, you ever remember anything doing that" asked Six curiosly, watching as the Yao Guai started wasting away to nothing in mere seconds.
*Rooo?
"Hehe, yeah. Well, lets get a move on boy. And see what new adventures await us in this place" said Six happily, materializing two stimpaks and injecting one in him and one in his dog. "Feeling better already"
*Bark?
"Nope, who cares why were here boy. And no, its not stupid too not question this place, its better then the Mojave"
*Bark, bark
"They'll be fine, they can take care of things until we get home"
*Rooo?
"Of course were gonna go back, lets just see what this place is like. See what adventures await us, maybe we can make new friends to"
*Bark
"I am not naive"
*Bark
"No, I'm not acting childish"
*Bark
"No, I'm not"
*Bark
"Am not!" said Six, stomping the gound like a kid.
"Glynda, is that man really arguing with a dog?"
"Yes sir... Yes he is"
"How peculiar"
"Indeed sir"
"Could you retrieve this man for me please Glynda?"
"But... Why sir?"
"Because he was able to take down a Ursai Major with a dog, two guns and gauntlets, he can summon weapons at will, he is rather skilled in hand-to-hand combat... Must I go on?
"No, I'll retrieve him right away"
"Thank you Glynda"
"Okay boy, we've covered a bit of ground and the Pip-Boy map keeps updating with each new location found. Lets rest in this circular, pillary, ruin place"
*Bark?
"Yes, pillary"
*Bark
"I am not a child... Now, what should I name this land... Hmmmm" wondered Six, thinking of a name for the place hes found. While he was coming up with a name, he decided to talk with Rex for awhile, said dog was lying next to Six. "Hey Rex, did that Yao Guai look different then a normal one?"
*Bark
"Yeah, and its armor felt like bone when I hit it. Plus it had armor, and those red designs on the face plate were new"
*Bark
"Yeah your right, we'll start looking for a settlement tomorrow Rex. Sound good?"
*Bark
"Good boy" said Six, taking off his helmet and laying it on the ground beside him. He was about to lay down and Rex came underneath his head and neck, to act as his pillow. "Goodnight boy"
*Bark?
"What is it?" Courier replied softly
*Bark, bark?
"No I don't, and I don't really care. This place is undiscovered, imagine the new challenges were gonna face. And you know how much I love a good challenge, plus new opportunities could be here just waiting for us"
*Bark?
"I... I don't really know yet Rex, we'll see how things play out okay"
*Bark
"I can't wait for tomorrow, more exploring to be done"
