Francis sighs as he turns the pages of his journal, noting the two World Wars and the movement from horses to cars. He rolls his eyes at the thought of the World being covered in those noisy, stinking machines and chuckles to himself as he recalls the sight of those massive planes in the skies. He shakes his head in amusement before getting up from his chair and decides its time for another adventure into the Future.
After much thought, he decides to see just how far things progress seeing as in just over a hundred years everyone practically owns a car and are a lot more technical than the average person of today. He gets up, smiling to himself as he grabs his special watch and heads outside to set the year for 2289. However just before he presses the button a feeling of foreboding shivers up his spine and he hesitates, but he shakes it off and hits the button.
A crack appears before him and expands into a swirling circle of all pearlescent colours, a tunnel into the future connecting to here and now.
Francis bounces in excitement before climbing through and out the other end...

...only to suddenly dive to the left as a flash of blue electricity is fired at him.
His eyes widen in horror as he notes he has appeared within a battlefield, with men in metal suits fighting others dressed all in black He quickly fumbles with his watch to return back to his Present. A flash of red electricity barely misses him to hit a man in black and he watches with wide eyes as the man literally explodes in a cloud of red dust. He finally manages to set his watch and hits the button at the same time a mixture of red, blue and green electricity explodes above him causing himself to blown backwards in the shock-wave. As he comes back to himself he gasps in pain and glances down to spot a large shard of a metal spike sticking out of his chest. He shakes his head and painfully lifts his wrist before setting a warning to pop up to his past-self for his death and removes the watch, but just as he throws the item back into the portal...his eyes widen in shock as one of the metal suited men falls down and through it, followed quickly by a amored dog.
Francis wetly sighs as the portal closes and the dust settles followed by cheering of the winning side. He shakes his head and gazes up into the green streaked sky as a soft smile crosses his face (I wonder how that man will cope in 1899?). He closes his eyes and chuckles to himself as he drifts off into the forever sleep.

*3 Hours Earlier in 2289*

Danse growls and quickly jumps into his Power Armor before turning to his men "Keep the Synths away from Liberty Prime!" He locks his helmet in place and runs to the front as he loads up Righteous Authority before firing at the robot army.
Paladin Brandis appears on his left "You should have never allowed that Vault Dweller in! I knew he'd turn on us!"
He rolls his eyes "If it wasn't for him, you'd still be in that Bunker!" He turns and shoots through a line of Synths before charging into the crowd "Ad Victoriam!"
The sound of lasers shooting and the scent of burning metal and flesh fills the air.
Danse watches in horror as he spots the black coats of the Coursers ripping through his men, he spots Knight-Captain James go down and he quickly jumps to the left as the mans Power Armor core blows up, taking out a chunk of the enemy at the same time. He glances around and shouts "Fall Back! Forged Steel!"
The Brotherhood Army quickly moves to form two lines of Power Armored defence around Liberty Prime.
Paladin Danse steps forward and slits his eyes beneath his helmet as Former-Knight Nate moves out from the line of Coursers.
Nate stares at his former friend and sighs "Danse ther-"
"That's Paladin Danse, to you!"
He nods, holding up a hand to stop X6-88 from attacking "Yes. I guess it is now" he glances at the intimidating line of the Brotherhood Soldiers and shakes his head "There is no need to waste the lives of your men for a War they cannot win, the Institute is the best option for the Commonwealth! I only lied as I knew you'd never leave"
The Paladin straightens "You made me believe I was a Synth! You turned my life on its head just to keep me in your bed!"
Nate shrugs "I had no choice, you would never leave willingly" his eyes narrow in annoyance "If not for Sturges figuring it out, you wouldn't be here and you'd have never known I was involved" he sighs "I had to kill them all you know, I had no choice" he smirks "But at least I won't have to listen to Preston preaching on about helping Settlements no more"
"You are a Monster"
A growl escapes his chest "I'm not the Monster, your Elder was! He was willing to kill you without mercy just because of some faked documents!" He takes a calming breath "Just...just stay here with me and let the men take the Ship back to the Capital and no more lives will need to be lost"
Danse growls and glances up into the darkening sky, noting that a Rad-Storm is approaching, before shaking his head "No. As long as I breathe, I will not allow the Institute to strike terror in the hearts of the people" he straightens up just as a crack of green thunder slices through the air "Ad Victoriam!"
The lines cheers "Ad Victoriam! Ad Victoriam!"
Nate sighs "If that is how you wish it to be, so be it" with that he hits the stealth-boy and fades from view along with the line of Coursers.
The Paladin grunts as a shot of blue laser hits his chest plate and he growls as he returns fire, thankful of the fact that he had recently upgraded his weapon with some new mods, and watches as a Courser explodes into a red ash. He smirks and stands firm as he continues to fire into the enemy.

(3 Hours Later)

A grunt escapes chest as he goes down heavily on one knee and he glances around, noting the burnt out shells of Power Armor along with the bloodied black coats of the dead Coursers...so many fallen.
He notes a flash of pearlescent light and grits his teeth as he forces his body back onto his feet, but before he heads off to investigate the light, he sits his eyes as he spots an injured Nate being helped by the Courser known as X6-88.
X6-88 looks up at the sound of someone approaching and gently drops Nate to the ground before aiming his weapon at the former comrade "Halt. I do not wish to kill you, but I will if you give me no choice"
Danse limps up to them, internally cursing as the motor has been severed in the left knee joint. He straightens as best he can "The fight is over, I shall be taking you both as Prisoners to face judgement for the murder of the Elder"
Nate chuckles but ends up coughing up blood. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand "Always the good little Soldier, aren't you 'Paladin' Danse" he shakes his head "We shall not be going with you" he nods to X6-88 and smirks "Lets head home"
The Paladin growls at the sight of the blue sparks and grits his teeth before suddenly launching himself into the flash of electricity.
X6-88 curses as he tries to keep hold of Nate, but grunts as he is knocked out of the way and sent flying.
Nate snarls as he fends off the attack, but ends up screaming as Danse fires laser after laser into his gut just as a flash of radiated lightening strikes the mans Power Armor. He smirks as he watches Danse being blasted to one side as he himself is transported to the Institute, the last thing he sees before the life leaves his body is Danse disappearing through a pearlescent flash...
