The legend of the radiation shield
Chapter 4: The best friend a boy could hope for.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
After a spending time in the city to raise Raphtalia's spirits I decided it was high time to hit the road. The place we were headed to was a place called Lute village which was about two days on foot from the capitol. Once we were a couple of miles from the walls and in the woods we decided to set up camp and have lunch. "Hey Raphtalia, I got something you might like." I said while pulling out two nuka colas from my pip boy.
"What's that Daniel?" She asked me.
"This is a Nuka cola, a drink from my home." I said while popping the caps off and storing them. "Here, try one."
"Ok." She said as she took the bottle. As soon as she tasted it she chugged the rest down in on big gulp. "HICCUP, that was really sweet!"
"Did you like it at least?" I asked getting a nod and smile from her. Despite being a highly carbonated soft drink that could give diabetes diabetes these things were always a real thirst quencher out in the wastes. Now that we finally finished our meals all that was left now was to clean up and head out again. Before we did however I looked at the now empty bottles and got an interesting Idea. "Say Raphtalia, do you want to do something fun?"
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
We were now in the middle of a clearing next to our campsite. On one side were various bits of junk placed on top of stumps and on the other side was Raphtalia holding a 10m pistol and while I covered her ears. "Alright Raphtalia, first put the magazine into the bottom of the gun, once that's taken care of slide the chamber back. Make sure to keep you finger away from the trigger and never point the end of the barrel at someone." I stated.
"Ok Daniel." She said as she followed my instructions.
"Good job, now onto phase two. Point the gun at the targets and aim down the sights. Keep your other hand under the one you're shooting with and relax your arms." I said.
"Like this?" She asked.
"Yep, right on. Now that your ready pull the trigger HARD." I commanded.
PAK!
"I did it! Daniel I did it!" She cheered, wagging her tail furiously.
"Good work Raphtalia! Are you able to hi the others however?" I challenged.
"I can do It!" She said.
PAK!, PAK!, PAK!
"Did you see that Daniel! I got them all!" She cheered again.
"Your a dead eye shot little lady. Nice wo-" I began before being pinned to the ground. The sound of the shots had drawn the attention of a giant reptilian monster, one now trying to eat me!
"DANIEL!?" Raphtalia screamed.
"RAPHTALIA! SHOOT THIS THING, KILL IT!" I Shouted as the beast snapped its jaws in my face.
"I can't, you'll get hurt!" She cried.
"Fine then! Run, get out of here!" I told her.
"No! I'm not going to leave you!" And with all the courage the ten year old raccoon girl had she pressed the barrel of the gun against the monster's head and...
PAK!
An explosion of grey matter and green blood splattered the both of us and I crawled out from under the corpse.
"I… I won't let you die." Raphtalia huffed before dropping the 10m and burying herself in my chest.
"Thank you."

The rest of the trip to Lute was spent in silence. When we finally arrived dusk was a just setting in and seeing as no one would be out this late we checked into the Inn and rightfully collapsed on our beds. The next day we went about the town
And traded some of our goods.
"Hmm, these rabbit skins are in mint condition. I'll take them for say 15 coppers a piece." The man said.
"alright, you have a deal." I returned.
"Pleasure doing business sir. Please come again…" The merchant sighed peaking my interest.
[Speech 50/50] "what's wrong? Is there something I can help you with?" I asked.
[SUCCESS] "No… it just that a lot of the other townsfolk haven't been able to work due to monster getting into the mines during the first wave..." He confessed.
"We can clear them out if you want us to?" I suggested. If a settlement back home could provide for themselves they would be quickly swallowed up by the wasteland. Even though things are different here these people still need help.
"Are you sure?... well you seem capable enough. Here, I'll tell you where the mine entrance is." He stated.

"Raphtalia to the left!" I shouted while punching a giant spider.
"I see them!" She yelled before busting a cap in two more. The whole place was filled with these eight legged freaks and we had just torched their queen. Now we're dealing with the stragglers.
"I think that's all of them… let's get back to the village and tell them the news." I said while giving one a poke with my foot.
"Ok Daniel." Raphtalia replied while holstering the 10m I gave her. when we made our way towards the exit however we saw two figures approach from the shadows. As they got closer the two became one and the creature was now fully revealed. It was a two headed dog with blood red eyes and a coat as dark as space.
"D-Daniel…" Raphtalia whimpered as she clung to my arm. This may not be it but now I know that the thing that took her family away probably looked a lot like this.
"It's okay Raphtalia it's not going to hurt us." I told her before approaching the beast.
"NO, DANIEL!" She cried. I looked back and found her trembling with the 10m in her hands.
"Calm down Raphtalia, I promise he won't cause us any harm." I reassured, getting her to put the gun down. "You won't hurt us, right buddy? You're just a big softie, aren't you?" I coed as I scratched behind the the left head's ears.
Huff, huff, bark!
"Yeah, I had you figured out from the start." I said with a smile as I rubbed its stomach. "Come on Raphtalia he won't bite, give him a pet." seeing that I wasn't in danger got her to calm down.
"O-ok Daniel…" she said as she slowly walked to the two of us. She tensely moved her hand towards him but once she was close enough the dog monster pushed its snout right into her palm causing her to freeze. It then proceeded to climb on top of her and lick her face with a playful fever. "Stop, stop! Daniel help!" She pleaded before erupting in a fit of giggles.
"See what did I tell you? He's just a big ol softie." I said looking at the two mess around. "Do you want to stay with us boy?"
Bark, bark!
"It's settled then. Welcome to the team!" When I said that he sat right up and began to wag his tail at blinding speeds. "Your going to need a name though bud… how does Shade sound?"
Bark, Arooooooo!
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Hey, your back! Did you manage to clear out tho-" the merchant from early began only to take a step back after seeing Shade "M-monster!"
"Hey, hey, hey calm down he's tamed so you can relax." I said to him after his attempt to flee. "The mines are safe again so tell the other villagers. You would happen to sell collars do you?"
"A-alright then, I'll tell them right away. I don't think any collar will fit those necks though…" he said sheepishly before leaving.

That's it for this chapter of the legend of the radiation shield. Before someone asked about how the weapons in the Lone wanderer's arsenal would be used, I in turn decided to give good old Raphtalia the right to bear arms since Daniel is stuck with the shield. As for the dog monster being tamed that would be the result of Animal friend 2 and since it was pacified the Daniel can use it to help Raphtalia with her trauma.
Since he is in a new world Daniel is able to level up even further then he could originally in D.C. Now onto the weapons in Daniel's inventory.
For unarmed weapons he has the Fistol and Plunkett's valid points. For melee weapons on his person there's the Mauler, Jingwei's sword, and Jack (the ripper).
In the category of small gun there's the Xuanlong rifle, the victory rifle, the Terrible shotgun, and Colonel Autumn's 10m which Raphtalia used throughout the chapter.
The energy weapons he has on his person are the Wazer wifle, the Tesla cannon, the Gauss rifle, and the firelance.
Finally for his big guns he holds Vengeance, the Experimental MIRV, and Eugene.
Daniel's clothes are less of an issue as he only has the Chinese stealth armor, the winterized T-51b power armor, and a clean white suit. The maximum weight of all these items is would be 228, two digits short of his capacity. Sorry for the big info dump guys. See you all next time and always remember to read your Tech Manuel.

Omake: Gun Nut I
It was now the middle of the night in Lute village. Before turning in I decided to show Raphtalia some more tricks. "Raphtalia come here for a second." I called.
"Yes Daniel?" She said from her bed with shade on her lap.
"I want to teach you how to maintain the gun I gave you earlier. Here, take a seat and I'll show you how." I stated as she came over. For the next two hours I instructed her on the basics of gun maintenance, gave examples on how to clean the guns, and watched as she put the 10m back together for the first time. "Good work Raphtalia, your a natural gun nut!" I said with a smile.
"This was fun! It's like putting together a puzzle!" She cheered to which I shook my head.
"Remember Raphtalia a gun is not a toy it's a weapon, a dangerous weapon." I chided.
"I know Daniel…" she huffed.
"Come on, let's get you to bed little lady." I said while putting out the candle.
"Ok, good night Daniel." She said before curling up with the already asleep dog monster.
"Good night Raphtalia."
