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

CHAPTER 11

The Second Battle for Hoover Dam began three days after the Secret Meeting of the Confederacy Leaders. Ryusuke and his entourage linked up with Mark and Ranger Ghost at the 188 Trading Post: Ghost wore her mother's Desert Ranger Combat Armor, and has her father's Ranger Sequoia along with her Cowboy Repeater and Combat Knife. Mark opted to keep to his normal gear since he was more comfortable in it. Boone is wearing the US Army Combat Armor he had when they killed Caesar, and is armed with his Hunting Rifle, his Machete, a Anti-Materiel Rifle, a Marksman Carbine, and a Hunting Revolver. Lily is armed with her Assault Carbine and her Vertibird Blade. Raul is armed with two. 357 Revolver's, a Lever-Action Shotgun, and a Bowie Knife. Veronica is equipped with a set of Gecko-Backed Salvaged Power Armor, two 10mm SMG's, two 9mm Pistols, and two Ballistic Fists. Arcade is with the Advanced team lead by Rainah and her husband. Ulysses is armed with the All-American, a Anti-Materiel Rifle, a 12.7mm SMG, and Old Glory. Cass is equipped with Sierra Madre Armor Reinforced with a Bounty Hunter Duster over it with a Riot Gear Helmet, and is using a .45 Auto SMG, a Service Rifle, her Caravan Shotgun, two .45 Auto Pistols, two Machete Gladius' and her Combat Knife in her boot. Ryusuke is wearing his Elite Riot Gear and is armed with the Survivalist's Rifle, a Anti-Materiel Rifle, a LMG with AP Rounds, his Ranger Sequoia, and his Katana. Siri is equipped with the same Armor as Cass minus the helmet, a Battle Rifle, two H&H Tools Nail Gun's, a 12.7mm Pistol, and her Knife Spear Clean.

Rainah wore her Hellfire Armor with pride as she lugged a Minigun loaded with AP Rounds forward. The Vertibird's were setup on the Dam as cover for the Neo-Enclave, allowing them to set a definitive Battle Line. Jason rushed forward in his T-51b Power Armor with a Plasma Caster in his hands and a Gauss Rifle on his back. "ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS HOLD THE LINE UNTIL KENTA GETS HERE," shouted the Supreme Commandant, "NO LEGION BEYOND THIS POINT!"

"NO LEGION BEYOND THIS POINT," echoed the Enclave soldiers.

XxX

Ryusuke looked to his right where the Visitor Center was and said, "Veronica, take ED-E and get to the Dam's Mainframe Computer."

"Right away," the Brotherhood Elder saluted.

"Ulysses, Siri, and Rex take the left flank," he ordered, "Boone you stick back and snipe any Legion that crosses your sights, Raul, you cover him."

"Alright," declared Boone.

Ulysses nodded and said, "The lessons of the Divide will serve us well this day."

"Cass, Mark and Ghost, you're with me," he said as he drew the Survivalist's Rifle.

Cass shouldered her. 45 Auto SMG and said, "Let's paint this place red."

Mark and Ghost aimed their Rifles and killed 11 Legion Recruits each. The Courier put down 10 with his Survivalist's Rifle, and Cass dropped ten with her SMG. "These are just the Cannon Fodder," stated Kenta, "so it's a good thing we've worked on our Close Quarters Combat skills.

XxX

Veronica made it to the Mainframe Room and quickly diverted power to the Fort, activating the Securitron Army. "Looks like my job is done."

XxX

Rainah was down to four clips, two reloads, on her 10mm SMG's, "THEY JUST KEEP COMING!"

Jason loaded the next shot in his Gauss Rifle before sniping his next Target, "We still have our Melee weapons if it comes down to it, love."

"I'd rather it didn't," replied Rainah as she loaded her next two clips.

Just then, Veronica, ED-E, and a contingent of Brotherhood Paladins walked out of the Tower behind them. "We've got some extra rounds for you guys," stated Veronica as her Paladins handed the Enclave a few Boxes of Surplus Ammo and Bulk Electron Charge Packs and Microfusion Cells, "It might not be top of the line, but it'll hold you."

Rainah loaded her last two clips and took enough 5mm rounds to load her Minigun one last time, "We'll take what we can get."

The Blond managed to fully unload her Minigun and finish off her last two 10mm SMG clips by the time Kenta and his group arrived with a Securitron MK II. "What's our status," the Courier asked.

Rainah brought out her two Laser Pistols and loaded them with Optimized Energy Cells, "We've managed to Hold the Line as you requested of us and are ready to take the fight to the Legion."

"Then let's not waste time," he said as a group of Veteran Rangers joined the party, "CLEAR OUT EVERYTHING IN OUR PATH! FORWARD MARCH!"

Jason drew his twin Katana's, dashed forward at suprising speeds for a man wearing Power Armor, and proceeded to hack his way through the Legion Forces that Barred their path.

A bullet hit Mark in the chest, but was deflected thanks to the Knife Blade in that particular spot, "Damn that's lucky!"

Rainah was disintegrating Legion Veteran's with carefully placed shots from her Laser Pistols, "I wonder how Mina, Elizabeth, Sammy, and Tyris are handling things at Novac."

"They've got their shit covered," stated Captain Bauer as he loaded his last clip into his Marksman Carbine, "now let's focus on our shit."

XxX

Sammy had a sadistic glint in her eyes as she put another bullet between a Legion Prime's eyes. "Damn kid," said Mannie, "You're pretty good."

"I've practiced for a week and a half on the fiends," she said as she loaded her next clip, "I'd be disappointed if I didn't much to show for it."

"BURN," Cackled Mina as she blasted her enemies with the Cleansing Flame.

Tyris had shed his Power Armor after running out of Bullets and was practically dancing through the Legion Assault, "I think Mina has lost herself to her Pyromania."

Mary rolled her eyes as she impaled a Legion Prime through his skull and said, "What tipped you off Sherlock?"

"The maniacal laughter," he replied casually.

XxX

Rainah had run out of Energy Cells, and Therefore had shed her Hellfire Armor so she'd have the advantage of speed while using her Thermic Lance. "Sometimes you just need speed," she said as she dispatched three Centurion's with incredible ease.

Jason stood alongside his wife as Ryusuke walked up and drew his Ranger Sequoia, "WE'RE ALMOST AT LANIUS' CAMP! ONWARD TO VICTORY!"

"TO VICTORY," echoed his companions.

XxX

Ryusuke and his small army of followers walked through the Gate of the Legate's Camp where they were confronted by a number of Legion Veteran's and Praetorian Guards. These men did nit expect the ferocity that the Courier and his followers showed, so they were dealt with swiftly.

They saw to NCR Rangers charging Lanius with Combat Knives, only to be cut down by the Terror of the East. "So, You're the Courier who has caused the Legion so much trouble," surmised Lanius.

Kenta smirked, "So you're than monster I've heard so much about."

"It is the Will of Caesar that the West fall," declared Lanius.

Ryusuke laughed, "What? Is Caesar somehow giving orders from beyond the grave?"

"Caesar's Will is the Will of the Legion," retorted Lanius.

The Courier sighed, "I'm not one for small talk so I'll just get to the point: You and I should fight one on one."

"It is rare that a Man from the West would fight with Honor," Lanius said with Mirth.

Kenta smirked, "No weapons, no armor, just our fists."

This gave Lanius pause: such Honor was unprecedented. "There is a strange honor in your words," he said as he took off his helmet. his face was not scarred as they expected, if anything he was rather handsome, "I agree to your terms."

Ryusuke removed his Elite Riot Gear and said, "I knew you would agree."

"Does Kenta stand a chance" Cass asked Uysses.

Ulysses shrugged his shoulders, "Hard to say... Lanius specialises in close quarters combat, but Kenta has the edge in experience... He's been fighting a long time."

Cass nodded in acceptance: all they could do at this point is pray.

Ryusuke cracked his neck as he put up his dukes and said, "Let's get started."

Lanius charged Kenta with a Legion Assault, but the Courier countered with a Ranger Takedown. The Spin Kick landed square in Lanius' gut, and while it pushed him back it did not knock him off his feet. Ryusuke pressed the attack with a series of blows to Lanius' face and upper torso.

Lanius staggered back: he was not expecting the ferocisty the man was currently fighting with. He tried to launch a counterattack, but Kenta blocked and immediately countered.

Kenta made a mental note to thank Veronica for teaching him the Scribe Counter: it had saved his ass in his spars with Ulysses more than once and had done so again here.

Lanius' frustration continued to grow: his savage fighting style was rendered useless by this man. He could see bruises forming on the Courier's arms, but that was nothing compared to the vicious beating he had suffered so far.

Ryusuke saw that Lanius was tiring, so he pressed his advantage. He slammed bone crushing blow upon bone crushing blow upon Lanius' body for ten seconds before the man collapsed in a primal cry of pain. "Finish me," he ordered.

"No," the Courier answered, "I've studied the laws of the Legion: you have no choice but to go into exile."

"You think I won't comeback for revenge," he asked.

Kenta shook his head, "That's the thing: you haven't seen the wastes as Caesar saw them, so you could never lead the Legion as he did... Therefore I have a challenge for you: Walk the wastes, gain knowledge and understanding of Human Nature... and how impossible it is to change it."

"And what does Human Nature have to do with this," he asked.

"Caesar believed he could change human nature by erasing individuality," explained Kenta, "but I can assure you that cannot be done."

"And what do expect of me if I find this to be true," he asked.

Kenta smirked as he said, "You'll find out when reach that point."

With no more words to be spoken between them, Lanius, the Terror of the East, disappeared into the might. "Now to deal with NCR," he mumbled.

They walked to the Great Iron Gates of the Legate's Camp which were suddenly blown apart. General Lee Oliver walked through with a contingent of Ranger Veterans' escorting him. "You lot are some damn fine soldiers, and I don't even know what that fire show at the Fort was about but I like it," he praised, "I wish I had a thousand of you. I could just sprinkle you across the east if I did."

"It seems you're under the impression that the Mojave is the NCR's," declared Kenta, "The reality is much different."

A group of Securitron Mk II's rolled in to reinforce this statement, and the Ranger's pointed their Brush Guns at the General. "What the hell is this," demanded General Oliver.

The Courier smirked, "I've examined both the Legion and the NCR enough to know that neither are what the Mojave needs, so I've decided to make a Nation with Vegas as its capitol."

"You really think the NCR will accept this," he asked, "The Senate-"

"Doesn't have a choice in the matter," Ryusuke said calmly, "The bulk of the NCR's Military might was stationed in the Mojave, and only the blindest of fools would side with a Government that has thrown them into the proverbial Meat Grinder without so much as a second thought about the lives of the men and women they're sending to their death."

Oliver sighed in frustration, "I can see that, but that doesn't mean the Senate will."

"I'm aware of this General Oliver," Kenta, "Now anyone not willing to swear Loyalty to the New Vegas Confederacy should get the hell out of my country."

"Fine," grumbled Oliver as he walked across the Dam to begin the Exodus to the Mojave Outpost.

It was after this that Yes Man rolled up, "Hi, It looks like we've taken control of the territories! I'm glad we were able to pull this off, but I'll need to spend a few days re-calibrating myself so I don't listen to just anyone, but don't worry: I'll still listen to you."

The Courier nodded in agreement, "I agree... Now let's get back to Vegas, we'll obviously need to deal with the Civil unrest in the city."

It had been a couple days since the Second Battle for Hoover Dam, and Nolan McNamara was presiding over Veronica and Arcade's wedding. It was held on the steps of the Lucky 38, and the happy couple had already said I do. Veronica turned around and tossed her bouquet towards her bride's maids: Cass, Lily, Lilynette, Julie Farkas, Emily Ortal, Gloria Silverton, and Corpral Betsy. It wasn't much of a surprise when Cass caught the Bouquet: virtually everyone was expecting it... What they did not expect was to see Ryusuke Kenta walk up to here and get on one knee. "Rose of Sharon Cassidy," he asked as he brought out a ring with a Ruby from Big Mountain, "Will you do me the privilege of becoming my wife?"

Cass started tearing up as she wrapped her arms around him and said, "Yes! A thousand times yes!"

A large number of men decided that they'd just go for it and ask the woman in their lives the same question that day.

XxX

Later that day, Boone walked into the Lucky 38's Penthouse where Ryusuke and his Fiancee were discussing the setup of Caravan Trade Routes. "Alright Kenta," he demanded, "Why did you let Lanius go."

"This action will have one of two possible outcomes," explained the Courier, "He'll either die, or he'll return a changed man."

"And you're hoping for the latter," the sniper figured.

Ryusuke nodded, "If he does, then We'll gain a reformed Legion as an Ally."

"Why would we need them as an ally," Boone asked with a thinly veiled hostility.

Kenta got up and looked out the window before saying, "The Legion will eventually gain a new leader, and they WILL retaliate. Old Wait and See will strike in the aftermath of said war."

"And having the Legion on our side will make it a lot easier to launch a counterattack," he surmised, "Alright, I get it."

Ryusuke nodded as he thought to himself, 'If all goes well, I'll be able to unite the Wastes under one banner.'

XxX

Westside had a new citizen in the aftermath of the battle: Nightkin who duel wields Bumber Swords called Bad Motherfucker. He and Mean Sonofabitch really hit it off, and are often refered to as the Soul Brothers by the townsfolk.

XxX

Hanlon had decided to become the Politcal representative of the Desert Rangers, so he made his niece their official leader. When asked why, he said it was time to pass the torch to the younger generation.

One of her first act's as Desert Ranger Chief was to induct Mark as one of their members, saying he was more than Ranger Materiel. Mark had been reluctant to accept, but did so because he knew it would make Emily happy.

The Neo-Brotherhood and Neo-Enclave were going through the list of NCR defectors who were trained heavy troopers, and teaching them how to properly use Power Armor. Each NVC Shock Trooper was given a set of T-51b Power Armor and their choice of a Minigun, Light Machine Gun, or a Gatling Laser. Most chose the Minigun due to its overwhelming Combat Effectiveness.

XxX

The Town Militias of the Mojave were gifted with Geck-Backed Leather Armor's, Service Rifles, 9mm Pistol's and SMG's, and a Single LMG for each town, all courtesy of Cassidy Caravans since Ryusuke had 'acquired' the Gun Runners Design Specifications. This combined with the knowledge and expertise of the Neo-Enclave and the Neo-Brotherhood has given them a huge edge on equipping their military forces. Their Gear and Technology is cutting edge.

The minds of the Think Tank had managed to create a means of decontaminating areas that had been irradiated, making it possible to garrison Camp Searchlight, and Black Mountain. Black Mountain now acts as a communications relay station between each military base in Confederacy Territory.

XxX

Ulysses and Siri took up residence at Wolfhorn Ranch, Ulysses old outpost from his time as a Frumentarius. A month into their time spent there they discovered Siri was pregnant, and sent a letter to Ryusuke.

They received quite the shock when he told them Cass is also expecting, and her due date was about a week and a half before Siri's.

XxX

Boone looked over the Two New Recruits for the NVC Recon, formerly known as the NCR 1st Recon, and smirked. Sunny had decided to Enlist so she could gain combat experience and had been recommended for the NVC Recon. Sammy Weathers had been given a Letter of Recommendation from his old Spotter, Manny Vargas... Apparently the girl had made quite the impression on the former Khan. "Now that you two have gotten the hang of using the Recon Power Armor, it's time we move on to the next phase of your training," he said calmly, "Fighting while wearing said armor."

"Sir Yes sir," they both replied with a salute. This turned out easier than expected because the Armor was extremely light weight, and is form fitting. (AN: It looks like the Chinese Stealth Armor, minus the head piece.)

It's made of a highly unique materiel that is strong as Kevlar, yet flexible as clothing.

XxX

Ryusuke looked out over the Mojave and smiled: the future is looking bright.

DONE!

Again, no explanations because my brain is fried. This is the official end of this story, but I'll be back in the sequel: Chronicles of the New Vegas Confederacy. READ AND REVIEW MY FRIENDS, READ AND REVIEW!
