Fallout: Kazuma the Road Warrior? XIII
Disclaimers I don't own Kono Suba or Fallout: New Vegas and don't worry I didn't forget you guys.
Once the group had entered inside of the gates into Freeside they were instantly greeted by things you wouldn't see on a regular.
Mercenaries willing to escort them to safety or anyone new to Freeside, 2 children are seen running around unsupervised playing with a toy space gun, and people either loitering or sleeping do to being too high or drunk to do anything.
"Well let's not stick around here in this dump, the strip is but a walk down 2 blocks" Kazuma said as he turned his head away to see someone puking chunks, "Agreed" said Aqua and Megumin as Darkness could only stare at the people around in pain.
As they began to walk down the streets of Freeside, they took notice of a familiar group ahead of them, "Kazuma" called Chris as she waved for them as they were outside the doors of the Old Mormon Fort.
"Yes I'm Kazuma" shouted back the Road Warrior before they all regrouped together and began to catch up.
"So what you've been up to, and what are you wearing" asked Chris as she took note that Kazuma was still wearing his Great Khan clothing and was surprised how he wasn't attacked by anyone yet.
"It's a long story back when Aqua was no smarter than a sub-brick, that she and Megumin decided to let me have the worst day possible and having my favorite and best armor completely annihilated from use" Kazuma said only to get punched by Aqua.
"Excuse you, but need I remind you I was originally at the intelligence of a cretin you insensitive ass, and another thing why do you assume I'm always to blame for your faults, in fact I can list a number of times when you were at fault, fromthelizardstothefrogs,theDeathClawbackinthequarryyoudecidingtousetherestroomnexttothatBigHorn,orthatMeguminhastoldmeyouonceblindlysteppedonalandmine"
-Pause-
I don't know about you guys but I don't know what's worse, Aqua bitching and throwing a fit when it was her own damn fault, or this sophisticated beauty that does nothing but nags your ear, leave me your thoughts in the review, but until then I need a minute to clear my head.
…
Alright I'm back and this Dirty Wastelander is kicking my little Californian ass, onto the story.
-Continue-
At this point Kazuma zoned her out as Chris chuckled nervously for him before her eyes beamed once more.
"Anyways Kazuma, I brought something for you" said Chris happily as Kazuma began to focus as Chris dug through her inventory, "Behold I acquired you both the Liberator machete and the Q-35 matter modulator" handed Chris as Kazuma began to put the machete away in his pip-boy inventory, and holstered the plasma rifle over his back.
"And here's a little bonus I was planning to sell, but I figured you can use it instead" handed Chris as Kazuma began to openly change and put on some top conditioned recon armor and helmet.
"Thanks Chris, I owe you one" said Kazuma, "Funny how you should say that, cause I could use some help in donating supplies and medical equipment to the Followers of the Apocalypse here, and be on their good side" said Chris.
Although Kazuma nearly regret his words, he felt no reason why not to donate supplies given how he plans to have an easy life out on the Strip and live like a damn king in Gomorrah Casino and Brothel.
"Alright let's go inside" said Kazuma as they all agreed to make a pit stop inside the Old Mormon Fort and help the Followers.
Once inside, team Kazuma was greeted by an uneasy feeling of the sick and ill, and doctors all over treating these people back into peak help, "Doctor Farkas, we're here with medical supplies to donate" called Chris as this got the Mojave branch leaders attention.
"Thank you Chris, I can't help but express my gratitude to you for helping us in our time of need" thanked Doctor Farkas before she turned to see Kazuma's party.
"I don't believe we've met before, in any case welcome to the old Mormon Fort, please let me know if or anyone in your group is in need for medical aid" said Doctor Farkas.
"Greetings, my name is Kazuma and this here is my party members" introduced Kazuma, "Kazuma as in the Road Warrior, yes I've heard of you and then some by Chris here and what you did back in Cottonwood Cove" said Doctor Farkas.
"Though I can't really praise you for taking a violent approach in the end and leaving yet another irradiated hot spot in the world, I can say thank you for helping not only the slaves, but putting a cease to Caesar and his Legion from further conquering the Mojave" said Doctor Farkas.
"As Such I'd like to welcome you in along with the Courier today in continuing doing good throughout the Mojave" said Doctor Farkas happily.
"In fact here you both go, I'm giving each of you and the Courier the keys to our Safe House, feel free to stop by and rest if you happen to be around the area" Doctor Farkas said with a smile.
"Will do" said Kazuma before he spotted a certain 4 eyed man in the back of the camp behind a medical tent, "You see him too, right" asked Kazuma to Chris, "Yeah, I've been trying to get around recruiting him, but he only dodges my approaches" said Chris.
Dear god, why me, cried Kazuma as he approached one of the Followers of the Apocalypse doctors as he awaited Kazuma's presence.
"Greetings. I got to admit that I've never seen anyone join the Followers of the Apocalypse that fast like you right now, then again everyone knows of your reputation and what you've been up to" said the Followers doctor.
As if on instinct, Kazuma began to do something he never thought he'd imagine himself doing, and that's seducing another man.
"I can't say the same for you, but I'd definitely would like to handsome, say at the strip just you and me over a romantic candle lit dinner" flirted Kazuma as he was in ear shot to have his party members and Chris' to hear what he just said.
"Oh my" Darkness as she and Cass where wide eye and jaw dropped as Megumin was dealing with her head frying up from overloading it with too much imagination just now.
"Huh, could've fooled me" commented Veronica as she notice that Chris happens to be equally shock to this revelation as Raul smiled and Boone just rolling his eyes as Ed-e beeped next to him "Shut up Ed-e" said Boone.
Aqua was the most aware why Kazuma said it since she had her hand in this, but none the less decided to join the group, "BL BL BL BL BL BL BL BL BL" chanted Aqua as Kazuma felt more insulted by her than anyone else.
"Very well, though I should point out flattery will get you anything these days, but let me clarify and say that I have no doubt, but I won't tolerate it if you or your friends happen to be associated with any bad people if you catch my drift" said Arcade.
"Honey, I would never fathom the thought, especially if it means upsetting you" continue to flirt Kazuma, "Alright you've convinced me" smiled Arcade as he joined along this party of misfit heroes to the Mojave and New Vegas.
Upon turning to meet the group, Kazuma expected them to comment and give him funny looks, except for Aqua.
"Kazuma, I didn't know you swing that way" blushed Darkness as she was swooning over Kazuma being so bold as Kazuma rolled his eyes and swat her arse, "No worries, that hand I use to spank you will be the same one I'll use to masturbate to you later on, Lalatina" taunted Kazuma as this turned everyone off, well almost.
"I told you not to call me that" yelled Darkness as she was half angry, half blushing over Kazuma's treatment and then came Aqua sneaking over and surprise sucker punching him.
"What the hell you bitch goddess" yelled Kazuma as he held his cheek, "Don't you dare call me a bitch goddess you son of a bitch" yelled Aqua as the 2 began to have a fight with words.
"Tell me kid, what's their relationship is really like" asked Cass to Megumin, "I don't know any more, I just don't know" said Megumin as she was just snapping back to reality after Kazuma's daily deed of sexually assaulting the girls.
"Come on guys let's go, we still have ways to go before we enter the strip" Chris said as Kazuma finished using the Great Khan trick once more, before going around her where he swat her arse with his other hand.
"Don't worries, I use the hand I don't masturbate with on you" Kazuma said as Aqua felt insulted beyond words, "Panty snatching, lolicon, scoundrel, NEET of the Mojave" grumbled Aqua.
Once they'd left the old Mormon fort, the group began to make their way past the Freeside gates to outer Vegas, where they had caught glimpse as to the only form of power to make a presence for the people of Freeside and that be the King's, right outside of The King's School of Impersonation.
"Think we should head onto the strip, Boss" asked Raul, "I have no objections" Boone said as he had his opinions towards the King's and how they treated NCR citizens.
"Let's stick around for a bit, I'd prefer to be on good terms with as much people as possible" said Kazuma as Chris smiled and stood by him, "I agree, now if you guys want to explore around and help Freeside, or to just explore the area, be my guest" said Chris.
"Fine by me" Boone said as he began to give the King's outside his 1,000 yard stare, "Hey doc, do you know where the nearest watering hole is at" asked Cass to Arcade, "There's the Atomic Wrangler casino, though don't expect me to drink" Arcade said.
"Fine by me, we need someone to be there to make sure that we don't do something we'll regret" said Cass as she and everyone, including the girls of team Kazuma followed them to the Bar.
"Shall we" Chris said, "Ladies first" flirted Kazuma as he got Chris to blush at this a little, though he didn't need to the Lady Perk on her to begin with.
Once inside, they notice that anyone who was a member of the King dressed the same, and had the same hair style in homage to the King of Rock n' Roll.
As soon as they began to approach the door where they knew where the King was at, they were stopped by the King's right hand man, "Hold on, exactly what do you think you're doing" said Pacer.
"We're here to talk to the King" said Chris, "And like that, sorry mama but ain't know one is allowed to see the King without paying up" said Pacer as Kazuma stepped in, "We have the means to go to the Strip right now if we wanted to, but I made it a point to stop by here and give my respect to the King for all he's done to Freeside" said Kazuma as this changed Pacer's demeanor.
"That's something I don't see in a lot of people, and that's respect for the King, come on get in there already" Pacer said as he let Kazuma and Chris to enter to greet the King.
Sitting at the table was the man responsible for not only starting the King's but keeping the locals of Freeside safe, and sitting next to him was a cyber dog companion.
"Well hey there, I don't believe we've met, they call me the King here as I am the one leading and keeping my boys in check from keeping Freeside safe" said the King in a perfect Elvis accent.
"Hi, we came here asking if you need any work done" said Kazuma as Chris began to eye Rex who in spite of being ill, was happy to see a new face, "Funny how you should say that, there's a guy I'd like you to investigate outside the entrance of Freeside" began the King.
"There's a man by the name of Orris, who offers bodyguard and protection work for those who want to safely get through Freeside, the problem is that the man is charging double compared to the prices of my boys, and is claimed to do an excellent job to boot. Not that I have anything against people trying to make a living, but when it starts to affect everyone besides my boys, that's where it becomes an issue" explained the King.
"Here's some caps for the service, I want you to pay for him to guide you 2 safely across Freeside, see what makes him so special, and report back to me" said the King, "You can count on us" said Chris.
Time Skip
Once they returned and made a complete circle outside of Freeside, Kazuma and Chris went and approached Orris to start their task for the King.
"You 2 looking for a body guard" asked Orris as he eyed at the courier and road warrior, "Yes we are" said Kazuma, "Right 200 caps up front, and I can guarantee you both a safe trip across Freeside, into the strip" said Orris.
"Deal" said Chris as she handed the man his caps, "Right make sure to keep up the pace" said Orris as the duo followed suit.
The man gave a brief orientation to each of the buildings, and noticible sights around Freeside, before crossing the gates passed the Kings, and instead of walking straight towards the strip, he instead made a detour behind some old buildings.
Just as they turned the corner, Orris dashed forward and they heard 3 gunshots, when they came around and saw 4 bodies.
"What the hell was that about" demanded Kazuma, "You develop this sense for danger when you work as long as me. Call it a sixth sense if you will" Orris said Kazuma could easily smell the bullshit in his mouth.
While Kazuma was talking, Chris examined the bodies and could tell they were only playing dead, and began to point out a logical fallacy.
"How come there are 4 bodies, yet we only heard 3 gunshots" asked Chris, "I…uh…you see…I made- that is killed 2 with one bullet" stumbled Orris, "I think you're a fraud and a rip off artist" said Kazuma.
"And I think you both keep your mouth shut less you want to die today" threatened Orris, "I guess we can stay quiet for the right amount of caps" said Kazuma.
"Right I get you. Here's your caps, no fuck off before I change my mind" Orris said as he ran off as Kazuma rolled his eyes to the threat and Chris approaching him from behind.
"Let's go back to the King and report him of our success" said Chris, "Right" said Kazuma as they didn't need to travel far, before arriving back into the King's head quarters, where they went and gave the King their report.
"Right thank you both for your services, I'll have my boys deal with Orris, but please stick around, I may have another job for you" said the King, "Shoot" said Kazuma.
"Some people of Freeside have been getting into fights with the NCR, I need you to see what all the hubbub is all about, I fear war is upon us less something gets done" said the King.
"You can count on us" said Chris, "That's what I like to here, go to the old Mormon Fort, and talk to some survivor of the attacks" said the King.
"Before we go, we'd like to ask about your dog" said Kazuma, "Ol' Rex here is no ordinary dog, he's one of them pre-war cyber dogs, and unfortunately that means Rex is having a hard time right now, and I'd really hate to see him go" said the King as Rex began to whimper.
"Tell you what, if you can get Rex here a check up over with Julie, and get him back in good health, I'll be in debt to you both" said the King.
"You can count on us" said Chris, "Alright, but before I pass him on, there are some things you both need to know before taking Rex. First off he doesn't like rats, so don't be surprised if you see him run off and attack them no matter how hard you tell him to heel. Secondly he hates hats, don't know why but I think cause it rhymes with rats, otherwise he's a good boy" said the King as Rex barked at his praise.
"Right then, Rex, these 2 will keep you safe, just keep them safe by your side alright boy" said the King as Rex barked in agreement.
"He's all yours" said the King, as Rex followed Chris and Kazuma out of the building, "So how you want to do this" asked Kazuma, "I'll get my crew, and will get Rex the help he needs, you can help the King and help him with his situation" said Chris as they approached the Atomic Wrangler.
As expected, Aqua and Cass were having a good time, as Veronica, Arcade, Raul, and Darkness kept an eye on them, while Boone and Ed-e were playing cards, with Ed-e signaling Boone when it's a good time for him to hit or not, while Megumin was sulking in a corner.
"So what I missed" asked Kazuma as he approached the group, "Well Aqua and Cass manage to drink the rest of Aqua's savings on booze and some Brahmin Steak, and Megumin has been pouting because the owners won't let her order, much less test out the casinos" said Darkness.
"Regardless, I got work that needs to be done, but I guess I can take some R&R" said Kazuma, "Agreed, but please gather around so I can explain each of our missions before we head off to do our thing" Chris said as she gathered all who were sobered while Kazuma went into the Casino part of the Atomic Wrangler.
Once there, Kazuma had invested the rest of his 7,000 caps into some poker chips, before setting out to play a game of Black Jack.
In one game alone where he pulled in all of his winnings, he managed to leave the table with more than 35,000 caps from the table before he was permanently banned from playing there, but not before getting his winnings.
Equally Boone was banned cause they suspected him of cheating, but nothing was proven, before they all grouped up.
"So it's settled, team Chris will go and try to get Rex well, and team Kazuma will aid the Kings by any means" said Chris as everyone seemed to agreed to this before any objections.
"Hold your horses, I got something for Veronica" Kazuma said, "Oh what is it? Is it a dress" Veronica asked eagerly as Kazuma gave her a dapper dress and hat to match.
"Oh my god, yes thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh it's what I always wanted, ya know what I know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna teach you how to kick ass" said Veronica eagerly as Kazuma smiled that he and his party were going to learn to do the scribe take down that day.
Later
As soon as team Kazuma finished learning the last and final major faction take down, Veronica hurried back to join Chris in their adventures to get Rex back into good health.
"So what does the King wants us to do" huffed Darkness as she passed Megumin some water to drink, "We need to question and figure out what's going on with tensions between Freeside and the NCR, and if we play our cards right, we can get them to make peace with the King" said Kazuma.
"I thought you said there weren't any kings in this world" said Megumin as she passed the water bottle back to Aqua, "Not that type of king, I'm talking about a gang called the Kings, lead by a man who is referred to as the King" explained Kazuma.
"They're not like those rogues like the Great Khan's now, are they" as Darkness has her opinions disregarding the Great Khan's even though they got them to back down from forming an alliance with Caesar's Legion.
"Far from it, they're actually responsible for keeping peace and order here in Freeside before the NCR arrive, and after House started rebuilding New Vegas, and what's more they're on good terms with the Followers of the Apocalypse without any intentions of backstabbing them" explained Kazuma.
"They sound nice so far" said Darkness, "Though I'd like to know why are they called the Kings" asked Megumin.
"They name themselves based off a famous pre-war singer named Elvis Presley, who is regarded as the King of Rock n' Roll, though to be fair compared to Kazuma's time line, he only got that title before any records could be set straight, and has since there'll be an argument between generations of fans as to who are or is the king of rock music, though I gotta admit the King himself is dead on accurate of that of Elvis" explained Aqua as this surprised everyone.
"Where's you learn all that" asked Megumin as she has a hard time processing a smart and charismatic Aqua, "I'm a goddess remember, it's my job to know this" Aqua said cutely.
"Right then, alright girls, let's head back to the old Mormon Fort, make a strong relationship, and then to New Vegas" ordered Kazuma as they set off to do some good again today.
At the New Vegas Gates
Guarding the border between unneeded rift raft, and potential customers to Mr. Houses wonder land based on the pre-war adult playground he grew up in was his personal Securitrons guarding the entrance.
To them there's no such thing as mundane tasks as they were given orders to always guard and keep New Vegas safe and the people inside happy, though that isn't to say there wasn't a glitch to the system.
Since the beginning following the Courier from rising from her grave in New Vegas, to the death of Benny by the hands of the Road Warrior, Benny's personal A.I. has since taken over to ensure that Benny's plan wouldn't dare to falter.
So like a virus, he took control one of the stationed Securitrons and with a creepy plaster go to smile plastered on the screen, he was genuinely happy to have spotted the Road Warrior, and sensed an important item on his body.
Soon it transferred back to its original body at the Top's casino, still smiling like he knows what's going to happen next.
And we're done with this chapter, sorry for not posting this sooner, but I've been stacked with school and with whatever little free time I have left I gotta spend it wisely, considering how I got my first midterm this week, but otherwise I've since been dying to publish this chapter with the last and final faction leader to the change and course to New Vegas, finally making their appearance.
Now me personally I dislike Yes Man, and find him creepy, and I find his at times passive aggressive attitude annoying that I wish I had more liberty to tell him to stop bitching and just say yes over my actions as his name applies.
But otherwise I've decided to do a Christmas special chapter after this or the next chapter depending which comes first, and I'll be adding something new to our heroes to use while they're here in the Mojave that'll remain permanent to the cannon to the story.
Don't worry, I know what you guys are wondering, but don't fear it's not something as detrimental as jumping the shark.
Until then good night, morning, evening, afternoon, whatever, and I'll see you guys later.
