Slayer

As the Slayer fell from the skies, he could only curse the name of the one responsible for this.

Samuel Hayden.

The one who had, for the lack of better words, fucked up everything, in his search of a clean and renewable source of energy he stumbled upon hell and Argent energy, he managed to harvest the energy for a time and also recover some very interesting items from hell.

Between those was where he was.

The Slayer had been recovered by Hayden and his UAC soldiers from hell in one of his expeditions, they had taken him back to their base in Mars, where they would keep him for study.

At least that was the plan, until one day, all hell broke loose, literally, Olivia Pierce, 2nd in command of Hayden had been corrupted by the demons along with a lot of the personnel on the installation, and that day she caused a "Hellwave" allowing demons to invade the installations, along with killing all who were lucky and turning those who weren't into the Possessed.

Hayden in answer, freed the Slayer from his imprisonment and let him loose on the demons, the Slayer then did what he did best, he ripped and teared across the demon hordes, then he was contacted by Hayden, who told the Slayer about the Argent energy tower, that Pierce planned to use to open a permanent portal to hell, and to this Hayden sent the Slayer to carefully dismantle the Argent energy supplies cases, only for the Slayer to destroy every single one of them, uncaring for Hayden's desires to keep using Argent energy, but Pierce managed to open a portal anyway, even managing to send the Slayer himself through it to the Kadingir Sanctum in Hell, the same place where he had been imprisoned, after making his way back to Mars he eventually came across the "man" himself, Samuel Hayden, a man who, to avoid death, had transferred his mind to a robotic body.

Hayden sent him to Pierce's Laboratory to uncover her plans, he discovered the existence of the Demonic artifact known as the Crucible, decided to recover it, he knew he would need to go back to hell to obtain it, and to do it he needed an Argent Accumulator, and the only one available was the one the Cyberdemon Pierce had created had on its chest, after defeating it and going back to Hell, the Slayer took the Crucible after defeating its Guardians, he was pulled back to Mars again, and to go to hell one last time, he needed to sacrifice VEGA, the Installations AI that had been helping both him and Hayden through all of this, but before sacrificing him the Slayer make a backup of him and took VEGA with him, then once again in hell he was guided by the spirits of the Night Sentinels, an ancient order of warriors the Slayer had been a part of, to give peace to the wraiths, ancient beings who had helped the Night Sentinels long ago, before being subjugated by Hell, after the Slayer gave them peace he went to face Pierce who then became a Spider Mastermind, one of the strongest demons hell had to offer, the Slayer brought it down and then was once again sent to Mars.

There he encountered Hayden once again, Hayden stole the crucible from the hands of the slayer and then sent him away, believing him to be a threat to his research on Argent energy.

That brought us back to the Slayer who had been sent to an unknown location, in this case being the atmosphere of a planet, as he fell, he wondered how much would it be before Hayden caused another invasion with his research when he noticed he was reaching the soil, he moved away from his thoughts and braced for impact

Goodsprings Graveyard

Victor

Victor had been digging a while now, he had witnessed how those men shot someone and then left them in a grave, he didn't really knew why they did it but he supposed that he would more than likely prefer not to know, instead he started to dig up the one those men had shot, he didn't know if they were still alive, but he guessed it would be better to make sure and that way be able to take him to the good doctor Mitchell if they were still alive or at least give them a proper burial if they had indeed kicked the bucket.

While he preferred to not know why those men shot someone he still wondered who were they and who were they working for, while most of them had clothes he recognized as being of the Great Khans, there was one, the one who took the shot, Victor didn't really recognized, he was wearing a checkered suit and his gun looked expensive for a 9mm so he guessed he was pretty wealthy, and there was only one place in the Mojave were wealthy people would be, the Strip of New Vegas, either spending their fortune on the slots, using it to drink themselves into a coma, buy the company of enough ladies to satisfy the entire army of NCR in the Mojave or a combination of the three, that or they would be a part of the three families that ran the Casinos, the White Glove Society, the Omertas and the Chairmen, unfortunately, Victor didn't really know anything about them besides their names and the names of their casinos thanks to New Vegas Radio, the Ultra-Lux, the Gomorrah and the Tops, so he didn't really could know if the man was a tourist that decided to kill someone for extra caps or a member of the families and even if he knew, he couldn't be sure of which family.

His thoughts were interrupted when he realized he had finally finished digging up the one the man had shot, apparently, they had shot them in the head and then put the sack they had been wearing on their head again, considering the sack was drenched in blood but did not had the hole of a bullet, Victor's scanners told him they were still alive, so Victor hurried to pick them up and to go to doc's Mitchell clinic.

As Victor picked them up and prepared to carry them away to the doctor, he notice a shine in the sky, at first he supposed it was a falling star, until he realized it was coming closer, it was then Victor realized it was coming right towards him, he quickly moved away carrying the person he had just rescued away from them, and then whatever had been falling to him crashed exactly on the same grave he had been digging up, after the dust settled, he decided to check out what it was, hoping that the one they were carrying could hold a little more.

As he peeked on the crater, he saw that it wasn't a meteorite as he expected, nor a pre-war satellite, not even an alien ship as he had sometimes heard about when some northern traveler came around, it was indeed what he could only guess was a man, he was wearing a weird armor Victor had never seen, surprisingly for him, his scanners told him the man was still alive, and with no injuries whatsoever except for the fact that he was knocked out, Victor didn't really know what to make of it, first he witnessed how some well-dressed asshole and his Great Khans friends shot someone in the head, he then unearthed them and discovered they were still alive, and just as he was about to take them to the doctor a man fell from the skies as a meteorite and caused enough ruckus to wake the whole town and left a crater one would normally expect only a Mini nuke could leave, Victor could only say one thing.

"Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit! that is certainly something you don't see every day".

As he said this, he picked the man who just fell from the sky and decided to take him to doc Mitchell too, just in case his scanners were failing and the man actually was more injured than his scanners told him.

New Vegas Strip – Lucky 38

Mr. House

"Well, this certainly is an interesting turn of events".

Mr. House recognized this wasn't going according to his plan, Benny had managed to get the Courier that was carrying the Platinum chip, shot them and then ran away, then he instructed Victor to recover the Courier, discovering they were still alive and then a man who wore an armor he had never seen had fallen from the sky and now Victor was carrying them to the doctor of the small town of Goodsprings.

While he knew things weren't exactly going his way, he didn't really worry about it, he knew his enemies didn't even knew that what had fallen was actually a man and not a meteorite or satellite, so that gave him an upper hand over them, he was also already planning on what to do with this new addition to the great game, if he proved to be a valuable asset, he would make sure to keep him around, if he and the courier proved to be a threat he would just dispose of them, it didn't matter how much changes came to his plans, he knew he was going to succeed at the end.

Afterall, The House always wins.

The Fort

Caesar

Caesar had been awoken by an intense rumble, he didn't know what it was, but it had already put him on a bad humor, he had enough with his recent headaches, so the fact now someone else had decided to make that accursed sound had gotten him really pissed, when he asked Lucius for information on what it had been, he answered that he did not know either, so they quickly called the guards that had been on duty when they heard the sound, when the men arrived, he immediately asked them who was the one making such a sound so he could crucify them.

"Caesar, I'm afraid we do not know".

"What?!, how could you not know?!, everyone here heard that damned sound so you better stop lying and tell me immediately!".

"Caesar, we do not know who it was because it was not a who but a what!".

"...Explain...".

They then told him about how they saw a light on the sky and how it eventually came crashing down far from the Fort, near the outpost that the Profligates from the NCR used to supply themselves, at first, he didn't believe something that happened so far could be heard so close but when the other guards told him the same story, he decided to trust their word, leaving him with a problem, what would he do?

"Caesar...".

"What do you want Lucius?".

"Could you allow me to recommend you to send someone to investigate this strange event?".

"Yes... send some of our Frumentarii, tell them to go immediately, we have no time to lose".

"As you wish Caesar."

Caesar knew the NCR would get to whatever had made all of that first, but that didn't mean they would be the ones to keep it, Caesar would have it, no matter the cost.

Hoover Dam

General Lee Oliver

To say everyone was in a panic would be putting it lightly, the moment the rumble had been heard everyone who had been asleep, including General Oliver, had been woken up thinking it was the Legion, once everyone realized it wasn't they immediately turned to the guards that had been on duty when they heard it, all of them told the same story, they saw what they believed at first to be a shooting star only to realize it had been another thing entirely the moment they saw how it impacted with the ground.

General Oliver did not know what to do, he had not heard about anything like this before (except for the occasional rumors about alien ships), he decided that the best thing to do was to send a team to investigate, he would send a small team of Rangers with the objective to discover what it had been that thing and then bring it to him.

He did not know what it had been but he knew one thing.

If he could weaponize it and use it against the Legion, he needed to obtain it.

I hope you liked this prologue, I would like to ask if I should make the courier a female or a male, and also if I should this story like my other one, meaning a kind of harem where the slayer gets a group of girls following him for the fact that they want him both romantically and as a tool for their own gains.
