Fallout: Kazuma the Road Warrior? XI
Disclaimers I don't own Kono Suba or Fallout: New Vegas, and I'm still waiting for them to give us a release date to Kono Suba season 3 and in potential hopes now that Capcom owns the rights back to the original DMC franchise a season 2 of DMC the animated series.
In her times of the Mojave, Chris has always kept a close eye on Kazuma and his company, while also managing her team and her duties as a goddess back in the other world.
But none the less now that she made herself apparent to Kazuma and his party, Chris has committed herself to aid Kazuma and his party the best she can to her abilities.
Which is off the charts given how thanks to her abilities as a goddess has did the impossible, unless of course you play the game on PC with counsel commands, and had maxed out her S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats, skill stats, and even taken the liberty to acquire all the perks the game had to offer.
But in return, she made it her duty to not only help Kazuma, but give him every unique weapon and apparel she could find on her way throughout the Mojave, and help the people in her party.
Right now the group had made a stop to help out Nelson with a Legion problem, one in which Boone was more than eager to help.
In less than 5 minutes, with Boone and Chris sniping away at Legion soldiers from afar, Cass and Raul went head first into the conquered Legion camp eliminating the remaining Legionaries while saving NCR soldiers.
"You bitch, I swear that by Caesar's name I'll-" was all Dead Sea was allowed to say, before Boone put a bullet in his skull, "Aw, I wanted to hear what he had to say" pouted Chris playfully.
"It's the same horse shit that the Legion spouts about when you fight them, in the name of Caesar this, in the name of Caesar that. I almost feel some sort of pity for these bastards" Boone said as he spat out some tobacco chew.
"Well, anyways, if you don't mind, I'd like to see what's in the camp" said Chris as they began to regroup with their party members.
The soldiers there, although injured and limping, were none the less grateful to be alive, and the fact they were treated with extra kindness and words of wisdom from both the Courier and an NCR First Recon was definitely going to boost their morale.
"So anything worth keeping" asked Chris, "Unless you plan to keep any of the Legion's clothes, then all we can use is their left over weapons boss" said Raul before Ed-e was beeping from the side lines.
"What's wrong" asked Chris as Ed-e began to hover and circle around Dead Sea's Machete.
Even though it looked like an ordinary machete, when Chris knelt down and picked up the bladed weapon, she felt it was different for some reason, as she examined the blade.
Upon reading the handle, carved on it read 'Liberator', which was enough for Chris to want to hold onto the weapon for now.
While this went on, the surviving troops saluted at Boone as he saluted back at them with a proud smile, as Chris decided to approach Boone on the matter, "You really support the troops don't you" asked Chris.
"I'm proud to salute any trooper below me who are not only brave but surviving any outcome against the Legion, as I hope that someday the NCR will put a stop to the Legion forever" Boone said.
"Then why did you leave" asked Chris as Boone began to sigh at this, "I guess you deserve to know" began Boone as he shuffled uncomfortably.
"Back during my tour on First Recon, we got a call from our superiors to put a stop on any to all activities against the Great Khan's, which would later be called the Battle of Bitter Springs" began Boone.
"There we were in line, ready with our rifles in hand to put a permanent stop to the Khan's forces from the rear if they had plans of retreating from other side, but that's when the problem began" continued Boone.
"We were expecting to see nothing but their fighters, what we didn't expect was to see were woman, children, elderly, and the sick. From there we panicked not sure what to do, but await our orders, while insistently telling our higher ups as to what we were shooting at" Boone said as he began to sadden his demeanor.
"Some called it a communication error, doesn't matter now as me and my brothers went and slaughtered innocent people, didn't matter if they were Great Khan's, what we did, what I did was haunting and unforgivable" Boone said as he was begging to get angry but took a deep breath and relaxed.
"After that incident, we were awarded for our services and ended my tour from there, along with most of those who part of that generation of First Recon's, some stayed, but not me or Manny" explained Boone.
Chris had witnessed and seen many tragic stories during her position as a goddess, but not as many as these ones.
"I'm sorry you had to endure such an ill fated experience, I really mean it Boone" said Chris as Boone began to avert his gaze at her and began to chew on more tobacco once again.
"I'm here for not only you, but for all of you if you guys need someone to hear you guys out" offered Chris as Ed-e simply beeped with Raul smiling over how he likes his new boss so far.
Cass could honestly care less to this, while Boone began to march past her and began marching back to the 188 trading post.
Later
Once the group had made it to the trading post, they had sold any weapons they didn't need or Legion Clothing before continuing up North to where they would make it to New Vegas.
"Alright thanks for the weapon" smiled Chris, "I should be thanking you and that Road Warrior fellow for supporting and giving a hand in the troop's ma'am. In fact here's some extra ammo for practicing when using that modified puppy you got there" said the Arm's merchant with a smile.
"Much obliged" smiled back Chris as she held on to her newly modified Gun Runners Arsenal Anti-Material Rifle with all the modified components, from the custom bolt, suppressor to the carbon fiber parts.
Once the trade was done, she went to see that aside from being stocked with medicine and food, Cass took the liberty to buy some whiskey and components to make her infamous moonshine.
Boone on the other hand was resting on the stone railings, spitting tobacco as Raul was revolving and twirling a wrench with enough skill and tenacity that you'd think he was like a true cowboy himself as Ed-e was beeping in amazement and praise.
"So guys. Are we ready to get going and do some more good" asked Chris, "Sure thing boss" said Raul with Ed-e beeping right next to him, "Yes ma'am" said Boone, "Right on your tail" said Cass as she had her daily take of alcohol in her system.
And with that our heroes began to march their way down towards New Vegas, with hopes of bumping into Kazuma and company there.
Unfortunely they were constantly had to deal with attacks on Legion from time to time since their exploits down Cottonwood Cove made them very infamous in the eyes of the Legion.
This in turn caused our second band of misfits to take an emergency break down at the abandoned REPCONN HQ, where their hopes is to simply catch their breaths.
"Well that was a good work out" huffed Chris with a smile, "You tell it sister" said Cass as she took a swig from her whiskey before offering some to Chris who took part in sharing a drink.
"We shouldn't be here hiding, we should be out there ensuring that the legion aren't going to do any more damage out in the Mojave than they already did" Boone said as he spat out his tobacco and began to reload his rifle.
"Patience Boone, we will do some more good, but for now let's rest and explore this facility. Who knows maybe we'll find something useful here to our disposal" smiled Chris as she had already sense the use of a unique weapon not far from where they're at.
"I don't know boss, if these corpses of these fiends have anything to say, I'd say it's best we stay here and relax out here in the lobby" said Raul as he was sitting down on one of the many lobby chairs.
"No worries, you guys can get some RR, I'm not gonna be far" smiled Chris as she began to approach the terminal in the corner of the lobby.
After tinkering with it for a few minutes, Chris had unsealed the door before running in with the newly acquired machete and slayed all of the rats in the room.
This in turn got Boone and Ed-e peeking around the corner ready to aid their fearless leader.
"You alright" asked boom as he cocked his rifle followed by a beep from Ed-e, "No worries everything is fine" smiled Chris as she continued to approach the lock door and unlocked it with ease.
Upon entering the room, she spotted some miscellaneous items that range from ammo to some rare skill books she would save for Kazuma's party(*cough* Aqua *cough*).
But most importantly was a powerful variant to the plasma rifle, the Q-35 matter modulator, by far the most best and greatest hand held plasma weapon found and used in the Mojave when it came to the variants of common energy weapons.
Everything about it was amazing and better than the standard from it's based on, from the light weight to the color scheme, even the ammo usage was better.
As for its damage and fire output, "Let's head outside and have us some fun" smiled Chris eagerly, "Careful, we've no idea what the end results will be" pointed out Boone.
"Don't worries, that's why I have you and you have this now so we can face the Legion" said Chris as she handed Boone her newly modified Anti-Material Rifle.
"Uh, thanks" Boone said as he awkwardly took it as they marched back into the lobby to greet everyone else before they look at their leader and the duo that followed them.
"Alright guys, let's head out and cause some good and mayhem said Chris as Cass and Raul saw something unique in her hands and could only smile as they followed her outside.
Boone stepped out first crouched down as he looked through the scope of his new rifle and saw no clear signs of Legion or any unnatural monsters wondering the Mojave.
"All clear" said Boone as they all took follow after the NCR's best of the best riflemen.
Continuing the path down the old asphalt rode, it wasn't until they were approaching near a bridge 2 miles away where Boone stopped to see that the Legion had sent in 2 Centurions and 2 Legion Assassin's.
Boone wasted no time in plucking out the 2 Legion Assassin's from using their rifles before lowering his weapon down, "All yours Chris" smirked Boone, "Thanks Boone" said Chris as she, Cass and Raul hurried on ahead.
"Cass you take point in backing us up, Raul you'll take the Centurion on the Right" said Chris as she focused her sights on the Centurion charging her with a .44 revolver and began shooting.
Cass took no cares or worries as she stood her ground had pulled the trigger and saw the effects of the weapon she had used as it had melted and burn through the Centurion's armor and fuse the melted metal with the soldiers burnt skin.
Seeing how she's merciful compared to Legion, Chris pulled the trigger again and watched as the man turned into a puddle of goo.
Mean while, Raul had taken out his personal 9mm and loaded it with 9mm +P rounds as he began to aim and fire at the Centurion's knee caps.
With the remaining rounds he shot at his right arm from preventing the man to draw out his Machete Gladius, as this gave Cass a safer chance to run up and press her shotgun against the man's temple before unloading both shells, leaving the soldier's helmet filled with brain soup.
"Well that was fun" said Chris with Ed-e zipping around and beeping in joy, "Hell ya that was fun" Cass said as she lifted her hand for a high five, "If I could, I'd do a mariachi cry right now" laughed Raul.
"Kinda wish there was more to kill" Boone said as he finally caught up with everyone before they'd finally made it past the bridge to see a conveniently placed rest stop.
"Anyone else hungry" asked Chris, "I'm hungry enough to eat a big horn" said Cass, "Pues andale" said Raul as Ed-e beeped along with him, "I could eat" said Boone as they all went to enjoy lunch and a proper break.
Once they had gotten their food and some water, everyone took the time to think to themselves and eat, but more so for Chris as she worried about Kazuma and his party.
I know you'll be fine Kazuma as I foresee a safe and healthy journey for you, with friends all over ready to aid you in the path you decide to take in your crusade, thought Chris as she found out that 200 year old irradiated Cram was hella good.
With Kazuma and Company
Kazuma was anything but what Chris had hoped for him since him and his party's departure from Good Springs.
Taking down the back road around, Kazuma had risked everyone's well being for Chance's knife and some Great Khan armor, which happened to be near a nest of Cazadors.
During their struggle with those nightmarish creatures that happened to rival that of a Deathclaw, Kazuma just happened to get stung and poisoned by them, and counted his blessings for their abundance of back up poison curing medicine they had on stock.
But even then, Kazuma was still wobbly and woozy that he couldn't lead his team away from the vault 19 where a Deathclaw just happened to be there.
And because they didn't had a tactical plan in advance, the party had a damn scrimmage resulting in Veronica getting knocked out, Darkness crippling her arm and Kazuma covered in cuts to his light weight leather armor.
Desperate and ignoring Kazuma's pleas, the party then went into vault 19 and met the prisoner there, where Kazuma had to talk his way into them going into sulfur filled tunnels where they had to deal with the Flaming Geckos.
This resulted in Aqua attracting all of them to their position where Kazuma had received 2nd degree burns on his arms, but was at least thankful it resulted in the Deaths of all the Powder Gangers as they had Megumin used enough explosives to literally not only blow up the vault, but create a new crater.
At this point the girls listened to Kazuma where he lead them back the other way and around as the path they were taking had too many Deathclaws to count and potential Legion attacks.
This lead to him being force to fight a well organized group of raiders that served a decent challenge in Bonnie Springs, but at least got him to gain another unique weapon called Love & Hate.
Already tired and beaten and low on supplies he just wanted to rest in the abandoned town, but was dragged into saving his party again when they walked into Spring Mt. State Park, where hordes of Mantis and Bighorns waited for them.
This final confrontation was what broke the camel's back in Kazuma's day as he got rammed and knocked out by a damn Bighorn, and is now currently unconscious and being carried on Darkness' back.
"Come on, we gotta hurry and get Kazuma some help" ordered Darkness as the girls followed the would be BoS Paladin, as they all had looks of guilt on their face for giving Kazuma such a bad day.
"Up ahead, we should rest there" pointed out Veronica as she saw a giant boulder next to a camp fire.
No words were said as Darkness picked up the pace before gently resting Kazuma down, as she was ready to brew some healing powder for the man.
"Come on Kazuma stay with me" Darkness said worriedly as the brewing process was killing her, "Damn it, how I wish we were back home so I can heal you without any of this" Aqua said regrettably as she felt useless as the designated Medic of the team.
"It's neither here nor there, right now we should focus on Kazuma" said Darkness as she was already mixing the powder as the party took note someone was moving in the shadows.
"Who is it, Legion" asked Aqua out loud as Megumin began to reload Ol' Betsy, "Bring 'em on" said the loli as she was happily anticipating to continue her fill of explosives.
Before anything could happen the group either found themselves pinned or surrounded by a familiar leather jacket spiked helmet gang of raiders.
"What do we have here, 4 babes and a dead man" said a Great Khan as the party was outnumbered and didn't want to risk Kazuma's well being.
"Hey hold on, it's that Road Warrior guy, ya know the dude who fucked with Caesar and put a bullet in that Top's guy" said one of the Great Khan's, "If I'm not mistaken, she's also that Oasis Beauty who helped Anders" said a different Great Khan.
"Oh shit, I think we fucked up" said the only female Great Khan in that party, "Come on guys, give them some space and lower your weapons and let's help out the Road Warrior and his party" said the Great Khan from earlier.
While Darkness and Megumin were strongly hesitant to allow the Great Khan's to help by any means, they knew they'd only want to help them especially after all they've done for them.
"Please help him" pleaded Aqua as she knelt down and cherished Kazuma as she held his face, "Come on gang, let's hall ass and save the Road Warrior" said one of the Great Khan's as they began to lead the party to their camp.
Oh my god I am so sorry that there has not been an update or a peep from me regarding to this fic, but hey I'm back so please forgive me.
Otherwise guys I'll see you all soon, hopefully but to be honest this time of year I'm usually focusing on my other fic's for a holiday special, but who knows there's a chance this one might get its own.
Otherwise just want to say that I'm back, and about to be back to school and I'm still writing, and waiting for anything regarding to a season 3, 2 or a new installment based on whatever the hell I like.
Also next chapter will be going back to Kazuma and his party, and they'll be hanging along with the Great Khan's along with going to the long awaited Sunset Sarsaparilla HQ, passing by the Gun Runners, and possibly entering New Vegas at long last, and that's what to be promised by next chapter whenever it comes around.
This has been you Humble Narrator Tobi Yaza. =3
