Summary: After the Battle of the Divide, Ryusuke Kenta convinced Ulysses to come to the Mojave and help him found a new nation.

CHAPTER 10

Ryusuke, Cass, Ulysses, Siri, and ED-E walked into Red Rock Canyon where the Great Khans resided. He had work to do here to get the Great Khan's on his side for when he founded his nation in the Mojave, and knew they could be a great ally. As they walked through, Jessup ran up and embraced the Courier who saved his life, "It's good to see you Kenta!"

Ryusuke returned the gesture and said, "It's good to see you two."

"What brings you to these parts," asked the Khan.

"I'm here to convince Papa Khan to break his Alliance with the Legion," answered Kenta, "And I've got a couple of Twisted Hairs to help me do it."

Jessup looked at Ulysses and Siri before asking, "What would they possibly know about the Legion?"

"Twisted Hairs were a Tribe from Arizona who had once been allies to the Legion," answered Ulysses with a note of bitter scorn in his voice, "Our history died at Dry Wells in Vulpes' Smile." He turned to Siri and his expression softened, "Or so I thought."

"Her name is Siri, and she is Ulysses wife," explained the Courier, "She had been made a Legion Slave."

"If an Alliance with the Legion will cost up our Identity then Papa will definately break the Alliance," added Jessup.

Kenta smirked, "That's what I thought."

They stepped into the Long House where Papa Khan resides, where Ulysses and Siri say a ghost from their Tribes Past. "You," he said with venom.

Karl's eyes widened in fear, "Ah shit."

Ulysses charged forward and pinned Karl to the wall. "You led the Legion to Dry Wells," the Ex-Frumentarii snarled, "You sacrificed our history to Caesar... You are to blame for what they did to my wife."

Before he could do any further harm, Kenta placed the barrel of his Sequoia at the behind Ulysses' ear. "Why don't you calm down and give all of us a little history lesson, alright?"

"When we forged our Alliance with the Legion, we kept the Location of Dry Wells a secret," the Twisted Hair explained, "We weren't the first to enter an Alliance with them, so we knew what would happen to us if they could find us." If looks could kill then Karl would be a pile of ash because of the intense Hatred in Ulysses eyes. "He lead them to us," the Original Courier Six seethed, "He sold us to the Legion and in doing so destroyed the Twisted Hairs."

Kenta wasn't sure, but he had a feeling that seeing this man again awoke some inner demons from Ulysses past. "Alright," the Courier said nonchalantly as he put his gun away, "you're free to kill him now."

Ulysses grinned savagely beneath his mask as he began to choke the life out of Karl. "This is the death that awaits traitors like you," Ulysses growled out, "to be killed by one of the people you betrayed."

Once Karl was dead Papa Khan spoke, "Mind telling me what this is about?"

Ulysses and Siri explained their history, and how the Legion had put their tribe to the blade. Needless to say, the Khan's broke their Alliance with the Legion. "Now we have to wonder what to do from here," Papa mumbled.

Seeing his opportunity, Kenta made his offer. "I'm planning to create a New Nation here in the Mojave," he stated, "but in order for this to work, I need you to support the NCR at Hoover Dam."

"I take it you plan on sweeping the rug out from under their feet at the last possible second," surmised Papa.

Ryusuke nodded, "That about sums it up."

Papa thought for a few minutes and said, "Alright, the Great Khan's will aid you in your goal."

"Is there anyone you would suggest to act as the representative of the Great Khans in Vegas," the Courier asked.

"The only person I can think of other than myself is Melissa Lewis," replied Papa.

Kenta thought about it before saying, "She does have a more civil approach than most... She'll do nicely."

Ranger Ghost had convinced Ranger Jackson to allow her to patrol a portion of I-15 after she reported the raid the Legion tried pull on Primm. If the Legion was pushing that far west, then they needed to keep tabs on that trading route. Truth be told, she just wanted an excuse to visit Mark Frey at Lone Wolf Radio. She couldn't quite explain how she felt about Mark: he infuriated and fascinated her at the same time. His Lone Wolf Attitude was infuriating since he didn't let anyone close to him, and his since of compassion fascinated her. He had given each child in Freeside a bette of Sunset Sarsaparilla. She considered stopping at the recently re-opened Vikki and Vance Casino, but decided against it. 'Maybe some other time,' she thought to herself.

Mark noticed her walking up and said, "You come around like a bad habit."

"Well, I'm still trying to figure you out," she countered.

Mark rolled his eyes and said, "Come have a seat."

She noticed the faint smirk on his lips as she did as instructed.

Siri had returned to the Old Mormon Fort when Ryusuke's group passed by Vegas on their way to Camp Golf. Boone had joined them in her place as them to continue to the Ranger HQ. They walked up to Ranger Chief Hanlon prompting him to ask, "You need anything?"

"We should discuss the things we're here to discuss in your office," stated Kenta.

Hanlon hoot up and said, "Follow me." once they arrived at his office he asked, "What's this about?"

"Caesar is dead," stated the Courier.

Hanlon was surprised to hear this, "This changes everything."

"Before you decide on what to do, I want to ask you how you would feel about a re-established Desert Rangers," inquired Ryusuke.

"To be honest, nothing would thrill me more," replied Hanlon.

Kenta smirked, "I'm planning to found a nation here in the Mojave, and I would love to have the Desert Rangers on my side."

Hanlon sat there with a thoughtful look on his face before saying, "tell me more about this Nation."

"The problem with NCR is that the Powers that be are fueled by greed," stated Kenta, "They won't stop until someone cuts them down to size."

"And how would you do that," asked the Ranger Chief.

"NCR has fought long and hard to get their hands on Vegas," explained Kenta, "Losing Vegas is the only thing that would force them to start getting their act together."

"You do have a point," sighed Hanlon, "But how would you hold the Territories?"

"By forming a Confederacy between the strongest factions in the Mojave," the Courier answered.

Hanlon hummed thoughtfully and said, "If it's alright I'd like to have sometime to think about this."

"I'd expect nothing less from the man who won Hoover Dam," stated Ulysses.

"We'll stay here for the night," added Kenta, "that way we can pick up where we left off in the morning."

Hanlon sat in his office thinking about this opportunity: he knew the majority of the Rangers would join him because they were often forced to guard some Brahmin Baron's Ranch. It was something that the rookie troopers could easily handle because all they had to worry about were unorganized raiders, which are good practice for green horns. The Rangers are better equipped to patrol the Mojave than the Troopers, and they aren't ordered to do that half the time! This is one of the thing he'd have to address tomorrow morning.

The morning came and the Courier and his downsized entourage walked into the Ranger Chiefs Office. "How do you plan to do things like patrols," asked Hanlon.

Kenta smirked, "Patrols will consist of a four troopers lead by a single Ranger. The Rangers will be given Riot Gear Combat Armor of varying designs." He pulled out Standard Riot Gear, Advanced Riot Gear, and Elite Riot Gear. "These are just basic versions," the Courier explained, "The final versions will be lighter and offer better protection."

"What about the Legion and the NCR," asked Hanlon, "I doubt either side will take this lying down."

"Both sides will have no choice but to lick their wounds," he explained, "Oliver won't make his move until after the Legion makes their move, and that won't be until after the dust settles."

"Sounds like something Oliver would do," grunted Hanlon.

Kenta nodded, "The Desert Rangers would be stationed on the eastern border and in a centralized Location in case Oliver decides to make it a war on two fronts: they'd keep the Legion at bay while the rest of the Confederacy forces dealt with the NCR."

"You have a lot of faith in the Rangers," noted Hanlon.

Ryusuke chuckled, "That's because you guys are badasses."

Hanlon smiled and said, "Alright, if you do in fact get things to where the NCR gets kicked out of the Mojave then I'll side with you."

"That'll do," replied Kenta as he and his entourage turned and walked away.

Hanlon couldn't help but wonder if he was making the right choice, but quickly dismissed the notion: Kimball and Oliver's Imperialistic tendencies were a problem and this is the best possible solution.

When they walked out of Camp Golf, it was with a Victorious Smile on their faces. "HOT DAMN, WE'RE KICKING ASS," Kenta shouted excitedly.

Cass smiled, "Damn right we are."

"I'm actually starting to think we can pull this off," voiced Boone.

Kenta turned to his friend and said, "I'm not surprised that you doubted me... But I am surprised that you're becoming enthusiastic about this."

"It's hard not to get excited when we're kicking this much ass," added Ulysses.

Boone chuckled, "Even he thinks we're kicking ass!"

DONE!

I'm not going to go into the explanations because I'm too mentally drained to do so… the reason why is because I'll be updating again today.
