War, war never changes. The mercs know this all too well. After all, they fought in one for years. So, when the Great War came, thanks to respawn and life preservation spells, they lived through it. Every day of those two hundred years. They formed an alliance with Saxton, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE! the Administrator, Gray Mann, and Merasmus. After all, better to have someone to have your back in the wasteland. Well, someone who won't sell you out for ten caps.

Welcome back, people of the wastes! I have been contemplating this story for a week or two. As stated above, Merasmus cast life preservation spells on both RED and BLU. The two united and formed alliances with the Administrator, Saxton Hale, Merasmus, and, grudgingly, Gray Mann. The group, still named Mann Co., have met The Courier, The Lone Wanderer, and will soon meet The Sole Survivor. Constructive criticism is appreciated, it makes the stories better. Minor spoilers to a few plot points. Also, as of now I have not played any of the Fallout games, so if you hardcore Bethesda guys notice anything wrong, I'm sorry. Don't go and shoot the radroach with a mini nuke!

MANN UP, MAGGOTS! STAND! ON! THE! POINT!

The Courier's point of view.

Six had no idea on how they got here. They had no idea why they were shot in the head and buried in a shallow grave. They had no idea why the Cult of Mars was so popular. And they DEFINITELY had no idea where the giant missile shooting eyeball came from. They were taking cover behind a rock while picking off the members of the Legion when they heard a voice yell, "MONOCULUS! I SUMMON THEE! OBLITERATE THESE CULTISTS!"

Then this giant eyeball started shooting rockets at the Legion members, who, being trained in unarmed combat, had no way to fight back. A member with an ounce of sense grabbed a gun and tried to kill it. A rocket to the face is no way to kill an eyeball. During all of this, Six just stood there. The giant eye, called Monoculus apparently, made no move to kill them, so they just stood there. When every member of the Legion was dead, the same voice called out, "MONOCULUS! YOU HAVE DONE YOUR JOB! BEGONE FROM THIS MORTAL PLANE!" Monoculus then disappeared.

When the eyeball left, a group of twenty two came into view. Eighteen were dressed exactly the same and there were two of each person, save for half wore red and half wore blue. Two women wore purple dresses, one man was dressed in a hat, shorts, and boots, and the last was dressed in black robes with a skull on his head. Six still stood there unmoved since they saw Monoculus. They had a conversation Six didn't remember, and left. They stood there for a good twenty minutes. And then had one thought. "I'm going to a bar, and drinking half their alcohol." They then promptly did so.

The Lone Wanderer's point of view.

The Wanderer was having a bad day. First, they were kidnapped by the Enclave. Usual day in the wasteland. Second, they were talking to the president, who was a computer. Still pretty normal. Third, the computer was telling them to abandon their father's project, and kill the wasteland. Same old, same old. Man in a suit killing said computer with a tape recorder. Okay, now it's weird.

While Eden was speaking, an Enclave soldier came in with a watering can. When Eden asked what they were doing, they simply said, "Watering your daffodils, sir." When Eden continued, the man watered the flowers, silently set it down, took out a tape recorder, and stuck it on an exposed bit of computer. The screen suddenly started repeating 'error' over and over and the audio became static. The soldier disappeared in a puff of smoke and in his place was a man in a blue tuxedo wielding a knife. "Take the vial and the door behind you will open." Said the man in a strong French accent. "Take it to Elder Lyons. He will know what to do with it. Best of luck taking back Project Purity. Au revoir, Wanderer." He disappears in a puff of smoke. The Wanderer doesn't even know how to respond.

Hope you like this so far! I've been anxious to write this for a while now. [Post edit] I wrote this a few months ago and forgot about it. Sorry.
