TITLE: Chapter 4
-War on Factions_ Starlight drive-in -
Looking on top of the car hoodie I placed my own weapon on top and Released the magazine to refill it with 20 bullets, It was of course an Semi-automatic rifle, unknown name. Pulling out my mags and bullets I inserted bullets inside the mags but this was me absent mindedly Doing my things. In fact I was in a announcement where-
"-We Will prevail from our peril!" our squad leader shouted, as fists were pumped in the air, animated and moved by her speech, She looked down and jumped down the car hoodie, while I was just there looking down on what am doing, refilling my bullets and others.
Anyway I thought about our mission today…Our mission today is to scout the southern part of the region, specifically going to canyons, airstrips and A abandoned mining passage. It was an excellent ground for training new soldiers, Techies and Spies to our cause, We weren't here on consent so we had to do what we had to do.
I am an Repair man, I always repair peoples stuff and things, currently I was refilling the magazines and rechecking the inventory and no one seems to appreciate it which is Not fine, Anyways looking at the sad side of life. I lost some of my stuff and my wrist phone is currently being repaired by an technician of our squad, it said that it'll return it for 2 days from now
Finally finishing the task of refilling now it was my turn to check the inventory, As I approached the piles of bags I caught an eyes of an figure staring at the bags. It was the Raiding team and they seemed to succeeded on raiding something for supplies, Making an grinning face I approached an man trying to report what had happened
"What has gone?" I asked, still fixated at the buldging object at his bag
"We got some guns, but mostly ammunitions and freed some slaves , but some I mean just an few" He sarcastically ended his report "Well, were we going ?" he added
"Were going to the south" I nonchalant replied, gesturing hime to give me the bag so I can reorganize things again
"South eh? Well count me in!" He beamed optimistically, expecting an positive sign
i noticed and you already know the answer "Yeah, your already in anyway" And he unpacked his bag on the ground and started off the to leader
"bye! Cya later!" And with that he's cheerful voice was gone, and was ready to influence people
An small smile appeared on my face as the man's attitude was really taking an toll on morale, I just hope he doesn't change or else I would be devastadated i may looked angry on the outside but in the inside you're an good hearted person no matter what
-Bitter springs-
As I walked toward the village, I saw children running playing tag, Adults chatting and lingering on how the NCR Sucks and some old people were lounging around the camp, awaiting for something to happened. In fact I heard about this place
This place was once a Khan encampment and people used to lived here as dealers, Drug users , raiders and the addicted. People of wickedness used to live here and I still didn't understand what went wrong, My mission here was to also gather intel and any information that can help the cause and any points on persuasions. Having enough of the walk, I trotted to the makeshift staircase and sat on it.
I was just here to gather some intel so all I have to do is to chat with some of the residence in this area and maybe I'll come across something interesting to report, While in the pondering state it was relaxation seconds later it was boredom, and lastly It became sleepiness and fatigue taking over my head, I blinked my eyes owlishly in a attempt to stop the urge to sleep.
I forgot that I didn't sleep for hours and oblivious to me, my body ignored it, I was mildly anxious when it comes to crowd but this time is the best time as any other, Looking at the unoccupied tent I swiftly paced my walking trying to look normal as possible, and I did it
As I opened the tent flap, inside was an sleeping bags, some pots , cooking utensils and other homey stuff that I didn't care enough to mention, I knew this was somebody's tent but I ddin't care at this moment, I layed myself on the ground and went to the deep caverns of sleep
-Freeside(sewage passage)-
Covering my nose at the Stinking smell, It reeked Shit and Poop down here The smell was unbearable. I don't know why Zecora even brought me here but I followed her nonetheless.
*Splat* I heard something, I must've stepped on something, Looking down on what I stepped on my eyes went wide eyed, It was an giant rat, Not like one of those heavily radiated one but an actual green blooded rats!
I was about to Turn away from the sight, I know from what I've been through and all, it Took an single green blooded rat to do me. But I had to continue
Reaching the end of the tunnel I found an maintenance door opened, right there beside it was Zecora herself, gesturing me to 'come In', I followed her and grabbed my shoulder and closed the door behind us and said
"Where, have you been?" She questioned, strangely restless as she looked at my body for any indications
"Well I got lost, And the sewer pipes were tight so I had to take another way in to follow you" I vaguely explained, she knew the tunnels well but I didn't know about this place so I was lost
She narrowed her eyes at me for seconds before she patted my shoulder loudly and said "Well if you get lost tell me about it, Okay?" I nodded, but kept her skeptical nature
I wondered what happened, she looked upset that I got lost in the tunnels. But the most strangest par that She was the one who invited me to this tunnel I don't know why she had to worry about me.
Anyway before I came to this tunnel I was in a middle crafting an makeshift shield which has handles and a large platform board, I was missing some materials but not hindered my efforts, popping out of nowhere Zecora says that she needs my help, Which involves chemistry and some mutants infesting her home, She even pleaded at me to help since I am the only person that she can ever trust before, So I grumpily agreed even though I'm leaving my resources.
"Thank you for helping me" She slyly smiled " really I appreciate it" But I assumed wrong
Lanterns dot the far corners of the tunnel, And the lantern reveals Zecora wearing her regular strapless-shirt and Padded pants n boots, Her hair short hair unmoving and an left scar on her face, she looked tired but still looked good enough to be mistaken as energetic, Hmm maybe she did it again
"hey Zecora, Are you on jet?" I questioned, trying to coax her into talking to it
"Hmmm, I don't know, Am i?" she smiled innocently, And unabashedly showed some of her. I blinked at the other way and cleared my breath
"so, Why am I here?" I asked trying to get to the point off all of this
"well, you here to help me get some of those barrels to over there while I do my homework" she pointed at the 3 barrels of what I assumed to be either drugs or her stud sio I decided to ask her
"Yeah, Fresh from the Great Khans they said it's enough to fill me up for months to come, unless some addict steal it or something" she bend down her butt directly facing mine as she pick up jet inhalers and other assortments, she saw me Oogling her pasture and said
"like what you see" she gave her butt a wiggle before I face away from her and earning a giggle from her mouth, while I decided to ask why I should help her
"What were you thinking of When I'm going to help you right now?" I raised an eyebrow, waiting for her witty response, But it didn't except she has-
"-No reason, since you're already here in this underground tunnel, you'll have to help me with your time" she smugly smiled, and looked at me with a delirious-like stare
Now I was flabbergasted at this time, I didn't not expect that kind of response at all, usually her respons involves sexual hints, pleading and begging but now, she didn't even tried to, I looked at her last time and saw nothing, just plain Honest her. Sighing that the fact that I traversed these tunnels for like minutes of struggles. In defeat I accept helping her moved those barrels of what appears to be light, This is going t o be quick
- Road to California-
As we travelled with my estranged companions including me, We looked at the far away outpost with a relief, After the gate guardians let us in after the inspection of our gear, We finally let out a collective sigh at the relieved of our initial and last inspection before moving on unto their terriotory, once we go there we can finally start a encampment that can help Us make better and wellbeinged Infiltrations to get us some supplies for a portal maybe back home.
