The Fifth Element, Atom

by D.Bladikus

Years after the destruction of the Oil Rig the Enclave gathered additional personnel from Enclave bunkers scattered in rural areas of the now American Wasteland. As they arrived at Raven Rock meeting their new President, John Henry Eden. A acid storm appeared as they began to settle in forcing them to use a experimental device with unexpected results. Chap5-6 are rough change in 7.

Chapter 2: New cloth for the Rain

AN: Hello again!

I hope those who read my story enjoyed it or at least respectfully read the entire first chapter before leaving but then for some reason return and read the second…

Never mind.

One last note… Who the hell put '666' as a review for my story 0_-. I'm not mad or anything i'm just curious on why?

Never mind...again...ON WITH THE SHOW! :D

"Unit 4, reporting in, all clear, no hostiles."

"Unit 2, same report, no hostiles"

"Unit 6, some Ghouls wandered in and were easily taken care of, other than that all clear"

Squad leaders of a dozen or so squads continued to radio in at the communication center in the bunker. The communications officers tirelessly typing in all reports into their computers for the archives. The commanding officer roamed around the somewhat large ,grey with green highlighted, metal chamber with computers on the sides and a large digital screen showing the map of the entire D.C. ruins. A small automatically moving magnifying glass on top of the holographic map would triangulate the locations the Enclave squads would radio from. Having two officers marking down said locations in the database.

It has been about eight hours since the squads were sent out to Capital Wasteland at 0600 hours(6 AM). Making it about 1300 hours(1 PM) and so far there hasn't been much activity besides the occasional Ghoul,Super Mutant or Raider attacks. Said attacks being easily pushed back and all participants disintegrated. They don't want any evidence of their activities now do they. The day has been going by smoothly, that is if you don't count the attacks, until one of the squad's leader reported in with troubling news.

"Command, this is Unit 1, we have a problem" a male voice spoke through a speaker. One of the nearby officers quickly grabbed the microphone and responded.

" And that problem is Unit 1?"

" Well, we were sent to the outskirts of D.C. to see if we can find a good spot for an observation post in one of the highways or on a nearby mountains. We found one and we can see trouble coming our way. A radioactive storm is coming and it's not one of those smalls ones, it's huge. If my sensors are right this storm is easily categorized as a class 1 Acid Storm." The field officers words drove a cold chill up the communication officers spine.

Acid Storms. There were two types of radioactively connected storms known to the post-apocalyptic population. Radiation Storms and Acid Storms, Radiation Storms occur more often than Acid Storms, mostly appearing at classes 3 or 4, but they only cause increased radiation levels on the area,populace,food, etcetera. However, when Acid Storms do arrive ,like the name suggests, it disintegrates or burns anything the acidic rain touches. In classes 4 or 5 the acid can only mildly burn you when it directly touches your skin, cloths don't get affected as much. However, a class 1 storm is a different story entirely. Their was only one recorded instance of a class 1 Acid Storm back before the Enclave had began their war against the population of California. From what their long range telescope and surveillance equipment could see the acidity level is so high that, if enough acid accumulated, could even melt the ground. Changing the landscape completely creating river shaped moats, giant puddle shaped holes and,more morbidly, leaving the bones from disintegrated wastelanders among the desolate plains of the post-apocalyptic wasteland. With this knowledge in mind the communications officer called for his superior.

After a brief explanation the superior had quickly told the communications officer to call on all squads to prepare for evac. As the officer began to do so the Superior went to a nearby intercom, put a number in, and called for the General.

"Yes, Lieutenant, what is it?" Autumn's calm and deep voice spoke through the intercom. The Lieutenant told him of the situation and the recall he had ordered.

"Well done, Lieutenant, I will announce the coming storm to all personnel and personally tell the President of the coming danger." Autumn said before ending communications. The Comms Officer returned back to work to ensure that all Enclave soldiers are collected and brought back to base.

"Why was I told to wear this armor?" Lt. Col. Navarro said questioningly to the engineering officer.

"Because the President ordered it" the engineer told him. Navarro sighed before procceding to enter the new (6) APA,yes, not (3),MK.V(4), or (5). The scientist in charge of creating the newer models of APA had made multiple breakthroughs over the years. They made the in the early months of the Enclave's migration to D.C., from what he understood they were about to give the early prototypes to some of the officers in the military. That was until one of the scientist had an interesting idea. Since they were defeated to the point of near extinction it would show that their Power Armor was not as effective as they originally thought meaning simply creating an upgraded version of the (2) APA would not prove to be entirely helpful. So, as the Enclave traveled towards D.C. the scientist began to make specialized suits of Power Armor. Every model after the were these specialized suits of armor though the does have significant modifications.

Now, the armor has increased armor against all form of weaponry and mutations but it has enhanced power outputs needing small tesla coils on the power armor's shoulders,back,arms,and legs. This increase of plasma and nuclear power could be connected to the soldiers laser or plasma weapon, does not matter what model, and increase the damage output by 40%. The tesla coils also adds a electric field of defense against melee attacks. With these addition the APR was promptly named the Tesla Enhanced Advanced Power Armor.

The MK.V Power Armor was designed with recon teams and their need of maneuverability and agility in mind but it still provides a noticeable amount of increased strength and protection. The MK.V Power Armor is much lighter and thinner than the other power armor. In truth it almost looks like the Heavy Combat Armor(Fallout 4) they use for recruits to train with. The only difference is that light metal pieces cover the entire body, only allowing some of the more important joints on a person's body to be unprotected for the sake of maneuverability. The helmet, however, looks to be a new model that they designed for this suit of armor. It had a metallic face with a thick leather mask to cover the rest of the head. The face had three movable scopes of the person's right eyes, or left depending on the mask, that had a green ominous glow to them. They even had put a built in stealth module inside the power armor powered by a small atom core, giving it an almost permanent stealth ability. With these modification the scientist dubbed it the "Ghost" Advanced Powered Scout Armor.

The Power Armor was designed with maneuverability, durability, sabotages, and behind the lines combat in mind. The armor was thicker than the "Ghost" APSA but it still had its maneuverability. The armor is completely covered in a semi thick layer of metal, with many pouches, slots and compartments to hold extra munitions and other necessities for soldiers. The suits also wears an experimental plasma shield that uses a dual atom core located at back of his waist. The shield can resist heat, plasma, laser, bullets and melee attacks but for only a certain amount of damage before needing to recharge. The helmet was another unique piece for this armor because of the wide "T" shaped visor and it was made in a thick layer of metal like the rest of the armor. With these changes the suit of armor was dubbed the "Commando" Advanced Powered Survival Armor.

The final and newest power armor ,the (Fallout 4 XL Armor), was made with the thought of having a walking tank to withstand attacks from anything from a direct mini nuke to being mauled by a deathclaw. It looks almost like an exact copy of APA only it is two feet larger, making the armor stand at 9'6 compared to the that stands at 7'6 feet. It has four inches of thick aluminum/steel/titanium alloy mixture while all the other Power Armor have only aluminum/steel/nickel alloy mixture. Though because of the increased height and girth they needed to add sensitive movement plate receptors in the suit since most men are not 10 feet tall. However, with addition of this receptor's the soldier manning the suit of armor could not wear any type of clothing on the hands, feet, arms, head, essentially the entire body, meaning you'll have to be almost nude to wear it,because the clothing would confuse the device. With these attachments the suit has enough maneuverability to be able to quickly move in some situations but not enough to make quick and precise movements an unavoidable side effect. This new type of armor was dubbed the "Juggernaut" Advanced Dementor Power Armor.

Speaking of the "Juggernaut" APDA, Navarro finished with the diagnostic test and the systems were all in the green. The first "Juggernaut" ADPA was active and Navarro was the one wearing it. Elizabeth was in the room as well with a contemplating expression.

"Can you tell me why you chose the "Juggernaut" armor, I mean, you've always preferred protection and agility you even modified your to have less armor because of that preference. This suit is literally a moving tank meaning it's really slow, you'll be the one being targeted first and it-"

"Liz, calm down, I'm not going to die any time soon, you have nothing to worry about. Also I wasn't the one that chose the armor it was the president's orders." Navarro said to calm down his friend, though she has a right to worry. They were nearly annihilated by one man and a few of his friends. Even if something like that might not happen again any time soon, the wasteland always gives unexpected surprises to the any one living in it. So completely ruling out that possibility is not recommended.

After getting some final checks from the engineers he was allowed to leave. As he was about to leave he was told by one of the engineers that the General is requesting him to come to his office. So after leaving the Storage bay he began to walk to his next destination, Elizabeth ,however, decided to tag along to try to convince him to change his armor, President's orders be damned and how much an idiot he was and still is on agreeing to wear it. Navarro merely shrugged.

He didn't mind her insults at his intelligence. He really didn't mind most of things she does as longs as she is safe and alive keeping him happy and sane. Now why would he question his sanity? Well having almost all of your friends and family be killed on one day and not being able to do anything to stop it will break anyone's mind, plus he was already slightly insane to being with. Though over the years he developed an interesting quote/opinion on the world.

"Those who seem completely insane are actually the most sane and those who seem to be entirely sane are actually the most insane." Dark isn't it?

Elizabeth is the only remaining person who knows and sees the real Navarro . An insane man who wants to let himself be consumed by books, sleep, and solitude, a man who simply wants to have some form of lasting happiness. To be away from all the killing, the violence, the sorrow but they both know there is no way out of this life. Which is why he uses a mask, a mask of a battle hardened warrior demanding only victory, to keep his mind from going insane.

Well more insane than he already is.

As they moved through the corridors the other Enclave personnel stood at the sides as he passed, with a surprised and impressed look in their faces. The armor is more intimidating than all the armor combined, being a 9 foot tall behemoth of advanced technology and metal would cause that. Though it doesn't help that the color of the armor was black with white highlights the same colors as the multiple decals of bones and skulls, both animal and human that were sprinkled across his armor. On the left shoulder it had the symbol of the Enclave with stars circling around it. On his right shoulder held his moniker, his title, something he had gained from battles that would kill any other man but , apparently, not him . DeathKnight was that title the 'Death' piece represents how many times he has cheated death and the piles of corpses to show for it. The 'Knight' represents his loyalty and attitude to those around him, respect with a bit of strict kindness.

Well, kindness it the closest word to it, he helps other when he doesn't have to but when one has done something wrong he lets them suffer the consequence so that they learn from their mistake, essentially strict kindness or whatever else it could be called.

After twenty-five minutes of walking and talking(arguing) they arrived at the General's office. He said his goodbye to Elizabeth, who said if he died she would bring back from the dead and kill him again, before entering the room. A slight chill ran up his spin, if their is anything that truly scares Navarro that would be women. He would gladly fight a pack of deathclaws than fight an angry women, hell has no fury like a woman scorned indeed.

When the door slid open he saw typing at his computer before turning around to look at his map and mark some type of coordinates off a piece of paper. As DeathKnight's heavy footsteps sounded Autumn turned around to see his old friend in his new armor, he smirked.

"That armor suits you ,Jose, what did Liz have to say about it?" Autumn questioned, as he leaned down in his desk chair.

" She kept saying that I'm an idiot. That I'd be the main target if I wear this armor so I should've gotten a lighter variant, like the "Commando" armor, to make sure I stay alive." He said through the suit. Autumn merely chuckled at his words and at the impossibility of Jose ever dying. His smile soon changed to a serious expression as he stood up again and directed him towards the map, Navarro nodded and stood next to the map on the table.

" We got a report from one of our scouting parties saying that a class 1 Acid Storm is heading towards D.C.. All scout forces have been picked up and are safely inside the bunker, I was preparing to announce it before I got a call from President Eden. He told me of a device inside the bunker that can protect us, the bunker and our mobile base center all in one. He sent me the range of the device and I've just finished the calculations and found that range will cover the entire mountain from the acid. I've already sent with a team of scientist and soldiers down to the device but I need you to take your team and collect all personnel outside the bunker and do it fast." Navarro nodded and quickly got out of the room. He radioed his second in command, Miles, to gather his team to the surface. Along the way he stopped at his personal officer quarters.

His room was simple, no decorations, a simple bed on the side of the room, and a few weapon crates scattered around. A weapons bench stood next to the foot of the bed with removed pieces of a laser rifle he was working on. Lastly a few pictures of friends and some of his...family on a nightstand next to the head of the head. His eyes lingered on the polaroid photos as his mind flash backed to memories of his family. He shook his head as he ignored both his memories and the photos as he went to a gray and black striped metal crate placed at the right corner of the room. He opened it to reveal a large weapon. He picked it up then attached the cable from his armor to its side causing it to light up red. This was his own personal Gatling Laser, he liked to call it the 'Ash Maker' because of it modified power output causing it to have a 70% chance to cause anyone hit by this weapon to turn to ash.

No soldier can leave his base without some form of protection now can they?

He left his room and began to the surface. As he trekked through the halls he connected to his squads radio signal and listened to the chatter. It would seem Delta, Miles's codename, isn't having that much trouble. Most of the personnel outside are cooperating and agreed to enter the bunker. Though he noticed that the men are saying the words "new armor" making him assume that they were also given one of the new variants. "Good" he thought " I won't have to be bugged by Delta about getting the new stuff."

Delta or Miles Ehrhard, the descendant of one of the most wealthiest families in Southern California before the Great War. Thanks to their wealth and connections they were able to get a trip to the Poseidon Oil rig when the bombs were hitting the U.S. Many generations later we have Miles Ehrhard a logician individual with countless amount of knowledge and a very hard personality to...accept. It's actually where he got his code name Delta from. The nickname was based off an A.I. created on the concept of logic from an old comic series called Red VS Blue. The comic was about an eternal conflict between two sides, the Reds, Communists, and the Blue, Capitalists, in a closed area. Interesting concept and a good read, he especially like the characters of Agent Carolina and Agent Texas for their skill in battle, willpower and perseverance to grow stronger. Not at all that they are both independent, beautiful women, who are both redheads, and incredibly dangerous people to have a relationship with...Did I forget to mention they are technically mother and daughter?

The LC shook head out of those thoughts, ignoring his tendency of speaking in his own mind and putting his more...fantasy based reliefs aside an unfortunatevside effect of his insanity.

He finally arrived to the surface to find his team in the many armor varients scattered around the clearing helping people move crates or equipment. He heard his call sign and saw that his second in command was calling him. When Delta was near him he began look over the Lt Col's new armor, he was impressed.

"Dam, Death, you always get the good stuff" Miles said as he examined the "Juggernaut"armor. While he wore the Tesla armor with a Rapid Fire Plasma Rifle. The small tesla coil crackled in energy with every single movement he made, no matter how small.

"Hmm, you almost done here?" The LC asked and had gotten Miles to nod to his commanding officer.

"Ya, Jay and Shot has the last of the people up here rounded up and are taking them down to the bunker. So, is that Acid Storm stuff true?" The . merely nodded and gained a mumbled 'shit' as a response from his second. As the last of the surface personnel entered the bunker Navarro was radioed by the General.

" . the damn vertibird hatches aren't closing, curse 200 year old rusted ass tech, I need your team to close them, manually. The device won't work without for some god forsaken reason." Navarro responded with a "Yes,Sir" before relaying the new order to his squad. As his squad began to climb up the mountain Navarro turned to D.C. and searched for any sign of the Acid Storm, and he soon found evidence of its existence. Large clouds filled with crackling green energy was quickly spreading across the wasteland. In matter of minutes it'll be right on top of them.

"Damn it, get your metal asses to those hatches now the storm's coming and quick." He radioed to his squad causing them to move in a quicker pace. Navarro looked at the mountain with frustration as he couldn't climb it. His armor is to thick and bulky to climb something that steep. "I pray to whatever god their is that the device actually works or we're screwed."

"A force field? Are you serious, I thought that was never created." Autumn said as he spoke to the President through the intercom. Autumn knew of the existence of a small plasma shield prototype for the Commando APSA but a force field is based off laser based tech in a larger radius. Something no scientist have prior experience with.

The scientist have been working vigorously on trying to activate the force field to protect the bunker from the acid and from that hard work brang results. The device is ready to be active but their are always was a drawback. The program, for some strange reason, would not activate unless all hatches connected to the outside are closed. Forcing him to order Navarro's squad to close the vertibird hatches. "Rusty ass equipment" Autumn thought, though he did have to give it to American craftsmanship. After two hundred years with a nuclear apocalypse along with it most places across world would have had no standing buildings at all but this country's buildings still looked somewhat intact. If they weren't directly hit by the bombs that is.

'Sir, the storm is ten minutes away we need to activate the shield as soon the squad outside close the vertibird hatches or it'll destroy not only the relays outside but also our Mobile base." A scientist said to the General resulting in him getting angry, the scientist flinched at his expression.

"And what leave those men to die! That squad has some of my best men and while their outside securing all the hatches from the outside! You're safe inside this bunker while they have a risk of being melted alive!" The General screamed to the scientist as he ran back to his work in fear. Angered at the scientist selfinesses. The Enclave must band together and ensure each other's survival not leave each other to the wolfs. Especially in these troubling times was the Generals general thoughts.

"General, there is no need to get angry at are intellectual friends they are simply doing their job at protecting the bunker, the same as your men outside."

"I'm sorry I just don't want to lose any of my soldiers over something as stupid as an Acid Storm. Plus that scientists lack of concern for crucial personnel disturbed me"

"Your need to ensure your man's survival is understandable but don't underestimate mother nature, no matter how corrupt she has become. She can still be more dangerous than a pack of Deathclaws." The General nodded at President Eden's wise words.

Buzz

A sound came from the General's radio. "Sir, this is we have sealed the hatches but the storm almost right on top of us. There's no way for my men to get down to the door fast enough ,and there's no way in hell I'll leave them outside. Sir, close the front door, and activate the device as long as the bunker and the future of the Enclave is safe. We are willing to die." Navarro not knowing the device was force field. Autumn would rather have them inside the bunker on the off chance that the shield does not activate and gets them killed but pickers can't choosers. Plus he doesn't want lose one of his remaining friends and he's definitely not at all afraid of a Elizabeth when she founds out that he died. Nope, not afraid at all.

A quick call to the control room would fix all his problems and with all remaining doors closed.

"Activate that shield now!" The General barked as a loud humming noise began to be heard.

"I hope Liz doesn't kill me when I die" He said morbidly as he stared at the coming storm. His men sat on ledges their legs hanging about while he stood on path towards the front door. Some of his men removed their helmets allowing them some final breaths of fresh air before turning into a pile of sludge. They watched as the green rain melted down the lightposts,cars, and buildings alike. As the rain was about to touch the fence surrounding the bunker. A blue light encircled the entire mountain, stopping the acidic rain in its tracks. The deadly green liquid slid down the blue light as if it was invulnerable mirror.

"You're not going to die on my watch" Navarro and his squad heard 's voice from their radio's. His men began to cheer at their strike with luck, cursing the storm with grotesk profanity. Navarro,however, slumped his shoulders in defeat."I'm so not going to hear the end of this from Liz" he groaned in his mind. Though before going deeper in his depression the blue shield began to blink into bright flashes of light." What the hell?"

XXX

" , something happening, the shield is absorbing more power than we're allowing it." said with confusion in his voice but yet still calm and collected as ever.

"I'm as confused as you are General, there is nothing in the records that explain this strange event. do we have sufficient power to hold the shield until the storm passes." Eden called to the leading scientist.

"Yes, we do but it will take us months maybe even a year to find enough fuel to continue the engines at maximum capacity."

Engines is this bunker seem to, sadly, run on fuel. Something that would explain why no one decided to stay here when the bombs fell. Only reason we were able to power the bunker at max capacity is the large amount of excess fuel we had been carrying in the mobile base center for their viritibirds.

"That's fine as long as the bunker still stands the Enclave, America, still has a chance to rebuild."

With that acceptes of the parameters the scientist ordered the soldiers in the engine room to stuff as much fuel as they could into the fuel tanks. As the soldiers did their job the scientist concentrated on keeping the shield up against the acid storm. However, soon an anomaly occurred in the system and a program began to automatically activate. The scientist staff tried to stop it from activating but it was too late. The last sight anyone inside or outside bunker could see was white.

This event caused a ripple in time and space. Project Purity went off without a hinge and the man who would have been called the Lone Wanderer never stayed in the vault. His mother never died, his father never left. His family became celebrities in the D.C. ruins. As he himself joined the Brotherhood of Steel and fought against the many abominations of the wasteland as a Paladin. Last but not least the Enclave was never, ever, heard of from again.

However, in the land of four elements a new nation will appear. A nation with an element not known to any of them. An element called atom.

AN: As many of you can already guess the 'anomaly' was the device that transferred them to the other universe. That all I'm going to say about that.

Concerning the armor of some of you have not noticed already the "Ghost" armor is based of the Ghosts in Starcraft and Starcraft 2. The "Commando" armor is based off the armor from Star Wars Republic Commandos. Some of my most favorite games. I will probably be adding more stuff into it. If you'd like an example of how much of a cluster fuck of multi-crossover this will check out one of the stories from Rage Addiction. The bases idea of how he introduced his multi-crossovers sort of got me in a mood where I'll probably do it more often.

And lastly my shameless plaster of Red Vs Blue into the story :D. It is by far my most favorite online series. However, you might find other cameo's in the story as well if you can see them. Since most won't be as blatantly obvious as this one.

If any of you have criticism please try and make it constructive. Also if you enjoy my story please either fave/follow/review or check in once in awhile to see if there's an update.

Have a nice day! :D
