Fallout: The New Beginning
Chapter 2: The Attack on Freeside
SPOILERS, I DO NOT OWN FALLOUT
The Courier paced back and forth, driving Boone crazy. Boone flipped the page on Guns, Guns,Guns
"Let's go to Freeside!" The Courier said
A FEW MINUTES LATER
The four entered Freeside,
"Well, I have errands to run!" The Courier said
"We'll meet here in twenty minutes!"
All of a sudden, a Vert-Bird flew ahead of them, they flew past the gate.
"More of those things!" Arcade exclaimed
All of a sudden, three Verti-Birds flew ahead and landed, people in Power Armor stepped out. They walked out, approaching the Courier and his allies.
"Are you this…Courier person? The one who defeated the Legate Lanius?"
"Yes, I am." He said, putting his hands behind his back and grabbing his spare pistol in his back pocket.
The solider took out a plasma rifle,
"The general wants you dead!"
The Courier took out his pistol and shot his 9mm pistol in the soldier's face, killing him. Two more of the soldiers jumped over the call…opening fire. As the group opened fire at the soldiers. The Kings and many of the locals helped the group.
HIDDEN ENCLAVE BASE-BASE NIGHTEYE
A dark shadow watched the spinning holographic globe spinning in the middle of the room. Two Enclave soldiers stood by his side and an Enclave officer was talking to him.
"Our attack on Freeside is in effect, we should win quickly."
"If we were to take over Hoover Dam, we need that Courier out of the way. If he managed to get rid of that Caesar's Legion… he may be able to defeat us!" The shadow said in a deep Southern accent
"Yes general, I will place our troops to the best strategic plan." He said and walked out
"Oh…and one more thing."
"Yes sir?"
"That's General Autumn to you!"
"Yes General…Autumn."
HOOVER DAM
Colonel Moore sat there…nothing to do, it was boring being in charge. All you do is sign papers and scream at people.
Colonel Moore stared at the clock, the time took forever. She shuffled her Caravan cards, maybe she should invite Hanlon to a game…no, he was at Camp Forlorn Hope on business.
"Hey, solider!" She said to the Veteran Ranger guarding the door
"Yes ma'am?"
"How 'bout a game of Caravan?"
"Well…General Oliver would have my head if I left my post."
"But Oliver isn't here now…"
"Well…I'm always up for a good game!" He said sitting down
FREESIDE
Another plasma grenade went off, the Enclave soldiers didn't show mercy. They killed all hostels in their sight.
NCR reinforcements barged through the Freeside gate, opening fire.
The Enclave solider jumped around in their jetpacks, which were a new add-on in their Mark IV Power Armor.
"Damn it!" The Courier said,
"These assholes don't give up!"
All of a sudden a laser hit his left solider, he screamed.
All of a sudden, Veronica hit an Enclave solider with her Power Fist. Another explosion, people ran, cried, cussed and shot.
No one could get a good shot at the Enclave Soldiers, because they jumped around too much. Plasma and lasers shot around them, and more explosions went off.
BASE NIGHTEYE
General Autumn paced back and forth,
"So, while we attack Freeside, our forces will take over Hoover Dam, and all other NCR bases will be attacked."
"Our troops are in place to attack Hoover Dam" The Enclave officer said
"Excellent…attack."
HOOVER DAM
Colonel Moore was PISSED OFF! She had lost 524 NCR bucks and 3 cents to that ranger asshole.
"Do you want to keep playing?" The ranger asked
"No…" She said, throwing her cards on the table
The ranger took his money and returned to his post.
A NCR trooper ran in…
"Colonel Moore, the dam is under attack!"
"What? Is it the Legion?"
"No…it's the Enclave!"
"Oh fuck! Get to our battle stations!"
FREESIDE
"What?" The Courier asked after Ambassador Crocker told him what's happening
"We would like to ask you for your help!"
The Courier turned to his friends.
"Listen, I have to help Hoover Dam, get your hands on something powerful and help us!"
"Alright!" Arcade said and they all ran out
ARIZONIA
General Oliver looked into the desert, what was so good about some pre-war tech anyway?
He grabbed his binoculars, and looked into the distance, he noticed a Raider.
"12 Thirty!" He announced to the sniper in the tower
The sniper shot, killing the Raider. A ranger ran towards General Oliver, handing him a letter.
He opened it, and read it.
"Oh…shit!"
HOOVER DAM
KABOOM! Plasma cannons slammed against the dam.
"Don't destroy the dam" Yelled Captain Myers
"Sorry sir!" The Enclave solider said in response,
More Enclave soldiers stormed the dam, the NCR tried to fight back, but were overwhelmed.
The Enclave attacked instantly and the NCR had no chance to gather their allies.
Enclave soldiers formed a line and threw plasma grenades, breaking up the NCR troopers. The NCR tried to hold on, but were being picked off easily.
BASE NIGHEYE
General Autumn raised his hands as fists.
"I…AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" He screamed
"Kill who?" Asked one of the soldiers
"I don't know…jus' wanted to say that."
FREESIDE
The last of the Enclave died…finally.
The Courier looked around, Kings, locals and more were dead.
"Geez…no one could go through this stuff!"
HIDDEN VALLEY BUNKER
Elder McNamara stared at the many computer screens, watching the Enclave search the bunkers. Sweat glistened down forehead as he wiped it with his sleeve.
"Elder McNamara? ELDER MCNAMARA!" Head Paladin Harden screamed, breaking him out of his trance
"Huh, what?" He asked barely noticing the large group of paladins in front of him .
"Where do you want my squad placed?"
"Um…the front entrance!"
"We have seven other squads placed there, the room is getting crowded!'
"Well…good. Then you won't die fast! What's the code for the front door?"
" 'The Quick Scribe Jumped Over The Lazy Paladin!' "
"Good…positions!"
The squad walked out,
"Not unless they throw twenty plasma grenades inside." He muttered
CAMP GOLF
Another explosion went off…as Enclave forces moved in.
The Misfits, thanks to the Courier's training…well….they kicked ass!
The Third Battle of Hoover Dam was another massive battle with the NCR. What will happen with all the Enclave attacks? Find out next chapter!
