Both black-haired men ran for their lives from their monstrous follower jumping huge stones and dodging petrified trees on the way, but suddenly the bloodthirsty's right hand caught the poor Naruto who began to fight to get out of the grip of this dangerous creature.
"Grog!" Ashley called out the boy's name out loud with obvious fear in his eyes.
"Get out of here, A-Ashley-chan ...", the raven suddenly winced as the beast tightened its grip around his torso. "S-Save yourself ..." The dark-eyed man ordered with a grunt, so that he immediately kneeled the creature in the pit of his stomach, who in response cringed in pain and slight surprise at the great feat of this human to harm him. a little.
"W-I'll get help ... Just hold on a little longer!" The black-haired woman commented aloud with a slight stutter in her voice, so that she then turned around, starting to run towards a large metal settlement that she had seen while she and her companion fled from the great beast.
When the creature recovered, he growled very annoyed, so he decided to make this 'human' suffer before finally killing him. The bloodthirsty suddenly began to tighten his grip on the human more strongly, but this time he used both hands causing Naruto to scream in pain and unconsciously bit with all his strength the left arm of the overdeveloped reptile ripping off a piece of meat and obviously caused Let him also roar in pain, so that in an unexpected and instinctive way he would throw the 'human' with all his forces out of his reach.
The black-eyed man felt the air from his lungs being forced out as his body slammed into a metal part of the unknown settlement. While the bloodthirsty among wails of pain went away from that 'human', because without a doubt he is very dangerous and obviously he must let his 'serious' wound heal.
After that the black-haired man slowly rose from his position with a pained expression.
"Th-That happens to you wanting to try to kill me, giant lizard ..." Naruto o 'Grog' said with a silly smile on his lips, because strangely he liked to feel that feeling of adrenaline and danger go through every pore of his being.
The black-eyed young man seeing that the annoying reptile would not bother him with a second fight, decided to walk slowly to where Ashley had gone for help ... although suddenly as if his thoughts were heard, the young woman appeared running next to a man carrying an automatic rifle.
The man (41) known as Lucas Simms, is dark in complexion and above average height (1.78m). He has dark brown hair just like his eyes. His clothing consists of a Sheriff's Overalls along with a hat and combat boots.
"Grog!", The dark-haired woman exclaimed in horror the name of her traveling companion and patient when she saw how she was. "Are you okay? Do you have any injuries?" The dark-haired woman asked question after question to a surprised Naruto, although she still let herself be checked by the young doctor's hands.
"Take it easy, Ashley-chan. I only have a few scratches and a little dirt." The dark-haired man commented with a small smile, so that he immediately wiped a bit of dust off the right shoulder of his jacket.
Ashley stared at him for a moment until finally she nodded.
"It is incredible that you are alive and complete, boy. I have never seen anything like it, since most end up torn to death or very strange cases where they miraculously live, but some member of the body is missing." , while at the same time he scratched his chin with his left hand, remaining thoughtful for a few short seconds. "By the way, my name is Lucas Simms, I am the sheriff of the city. And the mayor too, when necessary." The former regulator introduced himself with a serious expression, observing the young man with black hair because he was seeing him.
"My name is ... 'Grog'. Nice to meet you, Sheriff." The black-eyed man introduced himself with a forced smile, as he was still very frustrated at not knowing his real name ... although he also extended his right hand for a handshake with the adult man, while the latter returned the handshake and at the same time formed a smile on his lips.
"What a surprise ... you're just as polite as your lifemate ... hmm, I think we'll get along. Listen, 'Grog,' I'll tell you the same thing I said to Ashley. If they treat my people well, they can keep the time you want. " The pelimarrón explained still with a small smile, so that later he undid the handshake with the boy.
"Understood, Sheriff." Both young men accepted the status of the Megaton Sheriff without any problem.
"I'm glad we understand each other ... regarding your amnesia, 'Grog'. I hope you recover as soon as possible, boy." Lucas said honestly, while at the same time putting his right hand on the young man's left shoulder as a sign of moral support.
Naruto o 'Grog' nodded at the words on the adult shoulder.
"Well, follow me both of you." Sheriff Simms commented with his Chinese assault rifle in both hands.
They both followed in silence to the big walk towards the entrance of Megatón where they found a strange 'being' / metal robot, one of the most shocked before the sight was the black-eyed man who was speechless and took a step back when that thing started to say something.
Welcome to Megatón, enjoy your stay. The pump is not a risk. We promise.
"What is that?" The black-haired man asked from a 'safe' distance (two meters away), pointing to the robot cautiously.
Ashley and Lucas turned around with expressions slightly surprised by the young teenager's unexpected question, although the latter decided to answer the question because only he knew the name of the Protectron.
"Oh, that? It's Helper Weld, a Protectron robot that protects Megaton's entrance from looters and among other things. Also, it welcomes travelers." The big-eyed man replied with a small shrug. Although he still saw the boy's expression of mistrust towards the security robot, he decided to reassure him with a few words. "Don't worry, kid. He's harmless and kind to travelers." The Sheriff reassured sincerely, so that he immediately put his hand on the head of the Protectron that did not flinch with the touch of the human because he was friendly in his records.
"Come on, 'Grog.' You heard Sheriff Lucas already, that robot won't do anything to you." The black-haired woman said with a small smile, while unexpectedly holding her travel companion's right hand and apparently her words worked more than those of the big guy because he turned his gaze towards her.
Meanwhile, the black-eyed man nodded his thanks. After that small inconvenience between 'Grog' / Naruto and the Helper Weld, the three entered through the gates of Megatón that were closed behind them for the safety of the citizens, but both black-haired men were left speechless with the view of the great settlement.
"Well now what can I do for you guys?" Lucas asked once the two black-eyed men came out of their amazement at Megaton.
Ashley was the first to respond, because she had a very important issue with her father and wanted answers from him.
"Yes. I'm looking for my middle-aged father ... you may have seen them." The black-haired woman answered in a slightly shaky tone, since she was afraid that he was dead.
"No, I'm sorry. I have enough with what I have to go looking at all those who pass by here. You can ask someone." The Sheriff responded by folding his arms once he holstered his Chinese assault rifle.
"I understand ..." The dark-haired woman said in a low voice, as she took a step back staying close to 'Grog' / Naruto.
The pelimarrón when seeing the girl in such a sad state made him feel bad, so he remembered and almost as if his mind clicked, it gave him a memory of the man.
"Now that I think about it, if I remember a guy who passed by here. He had a look in his eyes ... you know, the typical one when someone wants something.", The big-eyed man commented with his gaze on the slightly cloudy sky of the Wilderness, while Ashley looked up from the ground and stared at the Megaton Sheriff very hopefully. "He was at the bar for a while. Maybe Moriarty can help you. Just be careful. That man is not to be trusted." Lucas warned with a serious expression.
"Thank you so much, Sheriff!" The black-haired woman thanked with a big smile and caused the serious look of the big-eyed to turn into a small smile.
"What about that thing?" The black-haired man asked after having spent a long time in silence, so that he would then point to the "inactive" nuclear bomb.
Both Ashley and Lucas looked curiously at the black-eyed man, while at the same time they turned to where the latter was pointing, being this the bomb.
"The bomb? What about it?" The Megaton Sheriff asked in a serious tone.
"Don't you think someone should disable that thing?" The black-haired woman said with a touch of concern and fear.
"No one around here inspires confidence in me to let him touch that. Also, most don't even know that he still poses a threat. And on top of that, Cromwell and those crazy Church of the Atom idolized the damn artifact. Why? Do you think you would be able to disable it? forever? " The big-eyed asked with some degree of hope, as it would certainly be a great relief to think that he wouldn't have to worry about having a damn object of mass destruction in his 'backyard'.
"I can try to disable it for you." Ashley responded with a thoughtful expression, having studied a bit of explosives as a hobby at age 17.
"... (Sigh) Ah, all right. Very well. But listen, girl. Take a look at it first. Be careful." The big man warned with a touch of concern for the safety of all the people present. "If you do the job right, you'll bag 200 badges." Lucas offered uncrossing his arms, staring at the young woman.
"Badges? You mean the badges for the drink bottles?" The black-eyed woman asked with a certain degree of curiosity and attention.
"Exactly, but due to your confusion, there are surely many things you do not know about this world, Ashley. Well, we use the plates as a currency to buy and sell things, replacing the pre-war money (Dollar) that was completely useless to all the people of Yermo Capital due to the lack of a printing factory to support the demand for tickets. " The Sheriff explained with his right hand stroking his chin.
The black-haired woman nodded at the big-eyed woman's words, no doubt surprised that the new coin was those Nuka-Cola badges, because she remembered that since she was a child she had kept a considerable amount of said object. Meanwhile, that 'Grog' / Naruto only watched with confusion the conversation between the young doctor and the sheriff, since he did not fully understand what they were talking about.
"Great! Go see what you can do. But be careful." Lucas said with an expression that showed that he cared for the safety of the kind and educated young woman.
"About Megatón, we could use some signs to move." The dark-haired man opined with curiosity when looking around him, since he saw several shops and other unknown places for him.
"Tell me, buddy. What are you looking for?" The big-eyed man asked in a friendly tone.
The young black-eyed teenager averted his gaze to denizen of shelter 101, as she may want to ask something more important than he had in mind.
"Where is the closest clinic in case of an emergency?" Ashley said with a serious expression, because you never knew when they could get hurt in this dangerous world.
"Our closest clinic is at the bottom of the crater, right next to the pump. Dr. Church is a little dry, but he knows a lot and is compassionate." The pelimarrón responded with his gaze to where that place was.
"About this 'Moriarty' guy, where's his bar?" The black-eyed woman asked this time something more worried, because she was desperate to find her father.
"Yes, Moriarty's bar. The entrance is on the top floor, in front of the main door. But I repeat again, be careful. Moriarty is NOT what a friend says to himself. Whatever he says, he doesn't tell you. believe. For what you love the most, don't trust him. " The brown-haired Sheriff replied with obvious concern for the young woman in front of him, as she could be like a daughter to him.
"Understood and I appreciate your concern, Sheriff. I think that would be it, see you." The dark-haired woman greeted the former regulator with a smile, as she started to go down to where the nuclear bomb was, followed closely by a silent 'Grog' / Naruto who was looking around with evident astonishment.
Lucas in return returned the greeting and continued with his work of patrolling and maintaining order in Megatón. Whereas, Ashley and 'Grog' / Naruto after walking for a few minutes (for having been looking around) arrived at another destination ... perhaps because they both got lost for having forgotten certain indications that the Sheriff, Lucas, gave him.
"Craterside Warehouse?" The black-haired man asked with a curious tone, observing this place from above and below ... ignoring the lustful glances that a group of women were giving him.
"Yes, let's go inside to see what they sell in this place." The black-eyed woman replied with a small shrug, so that she would open the door, slowly entering the warehouse, followed closely by the black-eyed man.
When both black-haired youths entered the Craterside Warehouse they found two people inside (A man and a woman). A mercenary with a look of few friends, who was standing idly watching the 'inhabitants' of refuge 101, although his gaze was more attentive in 'Grog' / Naruto. There was also a woman with red hair and green eyes, possibly the owner of the place.
"Hey, I'm told they're the ones who ran away from the shelter! I haven't seen one like you for centuries! ... But being two makes it more impressive!" The store owner exclaimed very excited about the two young teenagers.
Both dark-haired men felt slightly uncomfortable under the curious and energetic gaze of this strange, but amusing woman.
"Well, actually I'm a den of shelter 101 ... 'Grog' is just a traveling companion who gave him a Monkey from the shelter because I saw him almost naked on our first meeting." Ashley clarified the situation with a look that no doubt cared about her partner / patient.
"Yes ... a crazy woman told me to take off my clothes slowly, I'm not sure why I appeared in that place ... I don't remember absolutely anything, not even my own name." The black-haired man explained with evident frustration on his facial expression.
"Oh, I'm so sorry ... Grog? Right?" The green-eyed asked for the boy's temporary name, while at the same time pausing briefly, and seeing that he nodded slowly he decided to continue. with your words. "Grog, I am completely sure that you will recover your memories and return to who you were." The redhead said with a sweet smile.
'Grog' / Naruto was silent upon hearing the young woman's comment, because strangely he felt a chill just thinking about retrieving his memories ... it was certainly a strange feeling, but reassuring.
"Thank you ...?" The black-eyed man remained silent, because he did not know the name of the young woman in front of him.
"Oh, silly of me. I am Moira Brown, Enchanted!", The redhead answered with the same friendly smile on her lips, while at the same time shaking the boy's hand. "I take care of the Craterside Warehouse, but most of all, fiddle around a bit and investigate." Moira explained with a funny tone, so that she then turned her gaze to Ashley.
"My name is Ashley. Nice to meet you, Moira." The brunette said with a smile, while at the same time shaking hands with the young woman. "What were you writing?" The dark-eyed woman asked curiously when she saw Moira's small note book.
"Let's say I'm working on a book about the Wasteland. I'd love to have someone raised in a shelter write the prologue. Are you up for it?" The redhead asked in hopes that the young teenager would help her with her book.
"Sure, I know the life in the shelter well." Ashley agreed to contribute to the Green Eyed Woman book.
"Great! Tell me what it's like to live your whole life underground or come to light for the first time. Come on, or whatever you want!" Moira invited the brunette to start with her answer, while she was prepared to write everything down in her notebook.
"That was paradise. No problems, fears or fights ... until p-dad left." The dark-eyed woman replied with a slight stutter, since the memory of everything that had happened in the shelter with the escape of her father who knows where was still fresh.
"A father on the run, huh? I've already seen a few, although none wearing the number 101 ...", The green-eyed paused to observe the sad expression of the girl, so she decided to encourage her. "Hopefully you will find it. Maybe the suit from the ironclad shelter will help you out there, right?" Moira said with a smile when she saw that she had raised, even a little encouragement, for the young black-haired teenager since she smiled a little. "That will be fine for the book. In fact, do you want to help me with the research? I can pay both of you. And it will be a lot of fun!" The redhead commented with fun just thinking about the things that would happen if both young people accepted.
"What is that book you are working on?" 'Grog' / Naruto asked quite curiously, since something in his mind demanded that he accept, because it would certainly be interesting what things were in the Wasteland and how they were related to the book.
Ashley looked at her partner / patient with surprise, as she would not have imagined that he was so interested in helping in a book.
"Look, the Wasteland is a dangerous place, isn't it? People could use a compilation of good advice, like a survival guide. I need an assistant or helpers to check my theories. Anything to prevent someone from turning out hurt. These kinds of failures are no laughs. No ... then they just scream a lot. They scream at me, very unpleasant things. " Moira explained with a frown as she remembered several of her former aides.
"Sounds like an excellent idea! I am looking forward to helping!" The dark-haired man opined aloud, as he shifted his happy gaze to the den of shelter 101 who nodded in support.
"That's how I like it! With enthusiasm! I think the first one was about how to survive the dangers of everyday life. Things are good where they are and it is not safe to go looking for food, due to the dangers of radiation and mines dirt. Anda looks like fun, right? What would you like to do first? " The green-eyed woman asked enthusiastically.
"What's that about radiation?" The black-haired woman said with her arms crossed, since even though she was not an expert on the subject, she knew perfectly well that investigating with this material in person is very dangerous.
"For that I need the help of both, right? I know a lot about it from the books, but I can't see a living example. At least, not for a long time ..." Moira answered in a whisper at the end of her words, as he recalled an old memory from a few years ago where he saw a case of a man poisoned by radiation who shone like a lamp at night!
"I don't understand what this 'radiation' is, but I volunteer to help study it." 'Grog' / Naruto said bravely and a confident smile on his lips.
Both Moira and Ashley stared at the young haired teenager with different expressions. The redhead made a big smile on her lips when she saw that the boy volunteered so easily in his study of radiation. The black-haired woman no doubt mentally hit her face upon hearing her partner / patient's words, although when she was about to say something the red-haired woman interrupted her. Even the mercenary protecting the green-eyed woman shook her head at how stupid this boy could do, but since he was not interested in what would happen to him, he said nothing to warn him of the danger he was taking if he approached this invisible enemy.
"Fantastic, Grog! I need you to be poisoned by radiation to study its effects. But I don't need it to be a lethal dose, of course. I will heal you before anything happens to you!", Moira promised with the same smile on her lips.
"Understood, Moira-san. I will be contaminated by this ... 'radiation' ..." The raven said with a thumb up.
"Yes, you are a sweet expert! Or rather, one of those fruits that now exists from radioactive agriculture. The kind that can stand everything!" The green-eyed man praised him with a pleasant smile, while he winked at her coquettishly.
These words caused 'Grog' / Naruto to blush slightly as it made him feel 'powerful' in his opinion. Whereas, Ashley strangely frowned quite a bit, jealous for the reaction of the young black-haired teenager, and of course, for the hidden words of the young woman next to the wink that she gave him.
"200 rads will be enough to detect some type of ailment, but if you could get at least 600 rads, the results would be even more accurate. Here, take this radiation meter to count the rads of your body every so often and when you get to the come immediately with me. " Moira said in an amused tone, as she handed the device to the young teenager.
The dark-haired man nodded as he grabbed the radiation measurement with his right hand, so that he then left the warehouse with a determined expression because surely this could be a lot of fun ... how wrong he was. While both women (Including the mercenary who shook his head again) only watched as the boy left the door, he was certainly special and very brave.
"Make sure I can come back, Ashley. From what I see, Grog is too innocent for this cruel and ruthless world." The green-eyed woman commented with a faint smile, as it reminded her of a cousin of hers who had almost the same personality.
"Leave it to me, Moira. I'll be keeping a close eye on him, he's my patient after all." The black-haired woman said with a small smile on her lips, as she turned around and walked briskly toward the door, exiting the door in the direction of the young black-eyed teenager.
"That boy is a complete fool. At that step he will only be killed." The mercenary growled with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, ignoring his boss's giggle.
"Oh come on. He seems like an adorable and cute boy to me." The redhead opined with a smile when she saw how her comment had bothered her bodyguard. "Are you jealous, Cris?" Moira deduced with the same smile on her lips.
"Ha! Me jealous? Please don't make me laugh, boss." Cris replied with a mocking tone, while trying to hide a small blush on his cheeks.
