Author's Note
I now have Microsoft word instead of WordPad, so expect a lot less spelling and grammar mistakes. In fact, spell check just fixed two in the last sentence. I may put this story on hold so I can do my Fallout 3 story. Mainly because someone's gonna get confused because someone says LW blew up Megaton when he's a good karma character. Btw, he didn't. Read and review.
Disclaimer
The only characters I own are Randall and Robert, Bethsenda, John, and Eric own the others.
Chapter 7
"So, any war stories you'd like to share?" Robert asked.
"I could tell you about this alien ship, but I doubt you'd believe me." Randall replied.
"Alien ship? Green guys, ugly as hell, use some weird shaped guns?"
"Yea, how'd you know?"
"Well… I kinda fought and killed some of them. They disguised their ship as a Merc camp and I took the bait."
"Just be glad they didn't try to probe you, that shit hurts like hell!"
"You… You got probed?"
"Yea… They split open your stomach and fuck around with your guts."
"Okay, I thought you meant being ass raped."
Randall backhanded Robert, "What the hell! Rape is a serious crime, especially in the Wasteland! Don't joke about shit like that!"
"Look who's talking!" A man in a brown trench coat yelled, "You blew up an entire town!"
"Who the he-" Robert started but was cut off as the man pulled a gun and shot him in the chest three times, causing him to fall in a small trench.
Randall jumped down and swung his service rifle around, ducking as he heard the man's gun cock.
Robert's eyes opened, "I'm going to kill him!"
Randall aimed from the trench and fired, the bullet grazing the man's shoulder, he jumped into a trench and shot a few times before reloading.
Robert ran down the trench, to flank the man, Randall distracted him by shooting near where he was hiding, "Surrender now, and maybe we won't kill you!"
As he said that, he saw the man's reinforcements.
"Fuck, reinforcements!" Randall chucked a grenade.
BOOM!
Robert turned the final corner and opened fire with his new assault carbine, killing three of the five guys before ducking back around the corner to reload.
Randall used Robert's distraction to get close to the two remaining, he put a bullet through one's head, killing them instantly, and turned to shoot the man. The man moved fast, knocking Randall's rifle from his hands and brought his gun to Randall's face. Randall quickly pushed away the pistol and pulled his knife stabbing forward. The knife hit home, stabbing just inches below the heart, causing the man to drop.
"I… I thought I could avenge them…" The man said between coughs.
"Who?" Robert asked, raising his rifle to the man's head.
"The innocent people this man killed…" The man whispered as he died.
Robert grabbed Randall, "What does he mean, the innocent people you killed?"
Randall took a breath, "A few years ago, a town… Megaton… Blew up. It was built around an undetonated nuke. A man named Mr. Burke offered me a well paying job involving detonating a bomb. I found out it was the nuke, so I declined the job. People saw me talking to him just before the nuke went off, so they assumed I was the one who did it. I lost a good friend in the explosion."
"Sorry man."
"Enough of the past, we have work to do." With that, the two continued towards Primm.
