Nuclear Badlands

Chapter 2: Into the Virtual Battlefield


Red Racer Factory

"Ha! You pass to thirty, my win" a raider boasted as he played another in a game of caravan. The rules were simple, outbid the opponent by having all cards in your field that pass twenty but below twenty-six. The raider smirked and stashed the bottle caps and pre-war money into his pockets, while the other groaned in frustration, before letting out a cry in pain, startling the group of slightly crazed humans.

The raider coughed up blood before falling face forward with a combat knife sunk deep into his upper back. The group turned to see a blonde haired young man wearing a commando armor whilst having his arm extended, Naruto rushed the corpse as the raiders brought out their weapons; pistols, hunting rifles, and baseball bats. Taking the corpse as a human shield, the bullets began to storm through and mutilate their dead companion, Naruto grabbed the knife and roughly pulled it out, letting blood splatter on the ground beneath him.

He kicked the corpse forward before throwing the knife once more, embedding it into a raider's chest forcing him to drop his weapon. Naruto took hold of the 9mm pistol and a wooden baseball bat connected to his face causing him to stammer a bit, the raider looked at his weapon to see a large crack down the center where it had hit.

"What the fu-" a bullet entered and exit through the man's head.

*Click!*

Naruto turned to see a raider pull the pin on a grenade he had around his waist and fired a blast from his Stasis Module. The group saw their fellow raider freeze in place; seeing as how he wasn't moving yet held an active grenade, they dash away from him. The raider could only scream mentally before the grenade went off taking most of his body and a nearby tattered car with it.

The blonde shielded his face a mushroom cloud formed from the destroyed, four-wheeled vehicle; he merely walked towards a crawling raider, kicked him onto his back and planted a foot on his neck. He placed a firm grip on the knife embedded in his chest and gave it a hard twist, ending poor sap's life. Naruto turned as the other remainding raider's picked themselves up and emptied the pistol's clip on them.

He dropped the 9mm Pistol as it fell apart, despite it being in terrible condition, it at least got the job done. The blonde then proceeded to scavage the corpses for anything they might have in their possession: Bottle Caps, Ammunition, Chems, etc.

Naruto stared at the pre-war money in confusion, it was obvious that it was a form of currency but, raider's tended to have more Bottle Caps then the paper money. His second stash was the two card decks, whether or not there was someone who wasn't trying to kill him, they could be used to gain a little through gambling. Everything else he gathered was just like the last group he had killed; mostly .308 Caliber Rounds for his Hunting Rifle and a few Bottle Caps.

It was getting late, obviously due to how dark the sky was getting; he decided to take refuge inside the factory. Hopefully this 'Defender Morrill' would be able to hold on until he arrived, after all even alien enhanced humans need beauty sleep.


VSS Facility (Outcast Outpost)

"Sir, the Super Mutants have retreated, don't know for how long" one Defender Morrill stated. Protector McGraw had his hands on the metal desk, his eyes furrowed, "Check the wounded, and keep the turrets active, make sure none of them get to the outpost" he ordered.

"Yes, sir... you three come with me, the rest of you bring the Stimpacks from the medical bay" he ordered before hefting his Gatling Laser and making his way towards the elevator with the Outcasts trailing behind him.

"Olin, how's that door coming?" McGraw asked through an intercom.

"Hardly any progress at all, we need someone to complete the simulation and we both know that won't happen without one of those terminals"

McGraw sighed as he knew this was true, they needed a working PiP-Boy 3000 in order to get the simulation to work properly. So far they had managed to get their hands on a Gary 23 clone, who had just that. The Outcasts tried to reason with him to remove the Tac-Pad but due to him being a failed cloning experiment, he was unable to understand any of their demands. Not knowing this they had beaten the clone to death and had his arm dismembered, sadly the storage device was already broken upon retrieval and none of them had any knowledge on how to repair it.

"Keep trying-" he said, only hoping they could get to the high-tech within the vault doors before the Super Mutants swarm their base.


"L-Let me go!" a young twelve-year old stammered as he was once again strapped to a metal surgery table.

Strange babbles were heard before several large drill-needles pierced through the boy's skin, dug through the muscle tissues, and punctures his bones. The boy cried out in pain as a searing hot, silvery liquid was injected into him, the bipedal creatures watched both human and monitor as an orange outline began to spread throughout the skeletal structure.

The boy wouldn't stop screaming, the pain was beyond intense; he could feel his body becoming heavier. Through his cries he was able to hear the babbles from the observatory, 'Heart rate increasing... ... ... ... ... increase output by seventy percent... eighty... ninety... ... ... ... full output..."

The boy's scream became a growl as his hair grew wild, fangs and claws developed, and whisker marks became scars. The boy's eyes opened, revealing them to be blood red and slitted, he gave a single roar before his head limps forward as the machine comes to a stop. The needles are slowly removed from his body, the boy could only hear the creatures babble a single sentence before falling into unconsciousness.

"Adamantium Infusion... successful-"


Naruto's eyes snapped open and shot himself up from the chair he was resting on, he was breathing heavily as his hand trailed to the dot like marks on his body. He clenched his eyes shut before calming his breathe, "Just... ... ... a bad memory" he muttered before sulking into his seat; knowing he wouldn't be sleeping again after that, he grabbed a nearby manual and read the cover, "Dean's Electronics?" he said before reading it's contents.

For the next forty-five minutes Naruto continued reading, due to him downloading knowledge from Alien Workers, he only possessed knowledge on how to work, fix, and handle Alien Technology; he had very little knowledge on pre-war tech and was only able to create and add the Radio Mod to his Omni-Tool. He closed the book and noticed a Roman Numeral on the side of the book that read 'IV' meaning there were more of them out in the wastes.

Naruto searched the factory from top to bottom, he was surprised when several gouls had randomly jumped him. Their strengths in numbers were easily overcomed by the blondes superior 'Iron Fists', yet surprisingly enough he had scavaged several Bottle Caps off them. Within half an hour Naruto was sitting back in his chair with a Guns and Bullets II, U.S. Army 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes V, D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine II, Nikola Tesla and You III, and a Volume VI Grognak the Barbarian Comic Book.

Despite having knowledge researchers and scientists would only dream of, Naruto found this new... or rather old info amazing. Though the books only carried information on three to five different subjects, to him he felt like he learned a lot about this post-apocalyptic world, though a question still remained, 'How did the planet, end up the way it did?'

He would find out sooner or later, having not been able to go back to sleep Naruto figured it was time to find these, Outcasts.


Bailey's Crossroads - Twenty Minutes Later

Having gone around the block at least fifteen times, Naruto had finally found a way inside the metro where he came face to face with more mutated walking corpses; a good slash from his Katana kept them down for good. He stood above the observatory looking down at the lower levels and at one of the damaged subway trains, from his point of view, it looked like transport vehicle unlike the cars outside this was meant to carry far more people.

His thoughts were broken when he heard faint gun shots just to the right of his position, following he made it to the gate and walked outside as the gun shots were soon joined by the sounds of fired Microfusion Cells.

Naruto dashed up the stairs that wasn't occupied by tires and onto a battlefield, he stood behind several figures wearing black and red heavy armor while firing from their energy based weapons at what appeared to be a legion of large, buffed out, yellow skinned, humanoid creatures. They all wore torn shorts or pants along with several pieces of scrap metal as hand-made armor; they fired .308 Caliber Rounds from their Hunting Rifles.

One of the armored soldiers noticed the blonde behind them, "Hey! You got a death wish, walking through a war zone?" he said, causing the other members to take a glance at the blonde before continuing their assault.

The one that spoke continued to fire a bit before turning back to the blonde, "Listen local, if you want to be at use, help us clear the mutants between here and our base camp, if not then stay the hell out of way!" he said before turning back to the battlefield.

An explosion caused the group shield their helmets as the Super Mutants began to spam grenades, Naruto took notice of the explosives and dashed out, 'Is he crazy!?' the Outcast thought. The blonde super human made it to the first active grenade and kicked it back, before back-flipping into the air and kicking the next incoming grenade.

The explosive was sent back crashing against the fewer incoming grenades, causing them to go off course before the first two landed infront of the mutants. The grenades detonated, saving the Outcasts and sending a mutant flying without a leg.

The Outcasts took advantage of the situation and came out of their spot, guns blazing, "On my target, Outcasts!"

Naruto held his Katana out, dodging mad swings from a Super Sledge, he sunk the blade into the mutants foot letting it cry out before thrusting his fist forward, breaking a rib or two and causing it to double over in pain; he grabbed the super sledge and swung it upwards knocking the mutant off its feet and onto its back. The blonde jumped forward and slammed the hammer down on its thick head, splattering its brains on the ground.

Naruto pulled his Katana from the corpses foot, hefted the Super Sledge over his shoulder and rushed behind the Outcasts as they fought their way into the tattered building.

"PAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIN!" a mutant shouted from an upper level, hip firing a Chinese Assault Rifle, "Get back!" an outcast declared, stopping the group from proceeding any further.

"I got an idea-" Naruto said secretly opening his Omni-Tool and brining out his Nuka Grenade, he pulls the pin and gives a whistle, "Hey!" the Super Mutant stops firing, "Think fast!" Naruto poked his torso out and flung the explosive at the buffed out creature, who caught it and eyed it curiously before it exploded in a raging inferno.

"Go, go, go -" they turned the corner and jumped back as Naruto was nearly hit by three whip-like tongues. The creature had the deformed head of a man, both its frontal and back legs were arms and appeared to be skinless (AN: Centaur). It tried to whip the blonde again, only for him to catch the tongues; wincing slightly at the lash to the arm, and slammed his newly acquired hammer down, causing the head and upper torso to cave in.

While amazed at the young man's strength the Outcast decided it was best to fight first and ask questions later. They came across a collapsed hall with a single path-like bridge in the center, the Super Mutants weren't making things easy as one now wielded a Mini-Gun. Naruto crouched down and grabbed a fallen Assault Rifle and emptied the magazine, making sure his bullets counted as he had taken notice of the gun's poor long range accuracy.

"We can't get across with that Mini-Gun"

One of the Outcasts who was thankful that the blonde had both saved them and gotten them in turned to him, "Got any more ideas?"

"Another, better make your shots count-" Naruto states leaving his spot and firing a stasis blast from his module, the Outcasts and mutants (if they were smart enough) were gob smacked when the mutant stopped firing. He then used his Kinesis module to steel an assault rifle and emptied the mag on the Brute Mutant, getting the idea the Outcasts joined in and easily overpowered the remainding mutants.

They rush across the bridge and exit the building, Naruto looked at what seemed to be an old construction sight, or at least one that was never finished. Mark IV Turrets scanned the blonde to see if he was a possible threat, but after identifying the Outcasts it merely turned away and back to it's aimed position.

The Outcasts walked down the towards the elevator and took a breather, the Outcast leader walked up to the blonde, "Thanks for the assist local, but you mind telling us what you're doing here?"

Naruto looked at the Outcasts who were waiting for an answer, "I heard your radio signal and thought I could help" though one couldn't see behind the helmet, the leader was infact surprised.

"How the hell did you hear my signal!? It's not broadcast on a standard frequency!?"

Naruto felt like he couldn't trust them with his Omni-Tool but if they needed help, then it couldn't hurt; he activated said tool, "Whoa!" they said looking at the holographic arm. "I was able to get you're signal through this... made it myself" now that, got the group interested.

'Maybe he can-' the leader thought.

"Listen kid, maybe you can help us out, we've been looking for someone like you" Naruto was unsure but, nodded slowly. The leader then pressed a button on the side of his helmet "Morrill calling in... ... ... ... yeah we took care 'em, listen I'm sending down a local, you'll want to talk to this one... ... ... ... yeah, exactly, Morrill out" he said before motioning Naruto over to the elevator.

"Head on into the base and talk to McGraw, I'll let him know you're coming and don't worry they won't shoot you" Morrill reassured before pressing the button on the side of the elevator, Naruto jumped slightly as the platform sunk into the ground.


As the platform sunk deeper into the ground he began to hear voices from below, once the elevator came to a complete stop, the reinforced doors opened and was face to face with more Power Armored Soldiers, one without a helmet walked up to him.

"Alright you, keep your weapons holstered, your hands to yourself, and your mouth shut... now follow me" he said.

Naruto glanced at the Outcasts within the room, they all had their weapons ready in case the blonde tried anything. He brought his hammer up and handed it over to the closest Outcast, "Watch it for me" he said before trailing behind Sibley, the Outcasts eased up a bit but were wary of him due to not handing over his Katana.

As they walked through the base, Naruto took the time to look around the area, it looked more like a military bunker than a high populated base. Several Outcasts here and there, some working on what looked like large generators while others tended the wounded.

They entered a com-room, "Sir, I brought the local here like you ordered".

"Thank you Sibley, you may leave us" the dark skinned man nodded and left the room, leaving both blonde alien and Outcast Protector in the room alone.

"So you're the one Morrill sent down-"

Naruto was unsure of the man's motives, he was sure Morrill had informed him of his Omni-Tool hopefully they wouldn't 'try' anything, "I am" was his response.

"I'll be perfectly honest... I'd trust a Wastelander to shine my Power Armor, and even that's pushing it, but... from what Morrill told me, you have a hologram-like computer on you're wrist... may I see it?" he asks.

The blonde narrowed his eyes cautiously,before activating his Omni-Tool, "Hmm... I can see now that Morrill made the right call, maybe you can be useful after all..."

"So, my Omni-Tool makes me unique and you need my help because of it?" Naruto asked, getting the jist of it.

McGraw chuckled lightly, "So you do have half a brain, that's good-" he states, causing a tick mark to grow on the blonde's head.

"I'll keep it simple, I need you and that tool of yours, you help me out and I'll do what I can to help you... now this isn't an offer the Outcast extend to anyone, so you really should think about it" he explains, Naruto thinks about it, on one hand if he helps them he would be able to aid him in anyway he can; backup, spare ammunition, etc.

"All right, what do you want me to do?" McGraw smiles and nods at the blondes response.

"Records indicate there's some high-value tech in this base, but we can't seem to get to it, the armory is sealed by a blast door and we can't get it open" he explains, Naruto takes a glance behind him.

'An armory, so that's whats behind that giant door'

"We're pretty sure that anyone who completes this facility's VR simulation program will gain access, but it requires a certain interference... we have one but, it's too badly damaged to try and use, sadly no one in this base knows how to repair it, your tool just might be able to-" he stated.

"I need you to go into the simulator and complete that program, which will unlock the armory... you'll get a share of the gear of course" he explains.

'Simulation?' he thought, knowing the phrase and meaning from one of the humans aboard the Zeta.

"Like, a computer simulation? Of what?" Naruto asked.

"It's the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from Chinese Communists, it was pretty significant event in American history according to our scribe... I won't lie to you, it's heavy combat, safety protocols disengaged... meaning if you die in the simulation, your body goes into massive cardiac arrest"

Naruto went wide-eyed at that, he read about that in the D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine, it stops the circulation of blood due to failure of the heart, and if dieing gives a massive one than it really would kill him; he doubted that his super human abilities would be brought with him into cyber space... or would it?

"You're still listening?" McGraw asked, getting the blonde's attention.

"Yeah-"

"Right, so I'm going to assume you're interested, but time's wasting, Sibley can take you to the pod, Olin will get you briefed... that is, unless you want to leave... then you're free to do so, my men won't stop you"

Naruto sighed, if this was a combat simulation then that would mean training in military-grade weaponry and probably experience war first hand, only downside would be if he died inside then he'd die for real. "I'll do it" he said, "Great! Sibley are you still out there!" he called out.

The dark skinned man walked back in, "Yes sir?"

"Take our friend here to the pod" Sibley stood their surprised, "A-Are you serious about this?" he asked.

"Very, now get him to Olin-"

"Right away Sir, follow me" he motioned, in which Naruto followed.

The Outcast Defender led the blonde into a small room with a man sized pod hooked up to many wires, terminals, and computer softwares. Their stood a blonde haired woman in a dark grey robe, she noticed the two or more importantly the fellow blonde.

"You're hear to help? Fine-" she walks over to the desk and picks up a white slightly armored suit, "Here, put this on, get in the chair and we'll run the simulation" she says in an annoyed tone.

"Sorry, didn't mean to intrude" was Naruto's response, in a slightly sarcastic tone; getting a sigh from Olin, "Look if you're going to help out that's great, just don't get in my way"

Naruto sighs and proceeds to remove his current armor, "So, care to tell me what you guys do here?"

"The same thing we always do, recover technology and preserve it, making sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands" she responds.

"Yeah, McGraw's hope is that whatever's in here will give us a huge advantage, the way things are going right now-" Sibley started.

"We're not too convinced, but we're on his side none the less" Olin finished, as Naruto was fully dressed in the Neural Interface Suit, several clicks on the terminal and the pod opened. Naruto walked up to the now opened pod and sat on the chair.

"Hey Olin, try not to kill this one-" Sibley joked.

"God, it only happened once!" she snapped, causing Naruto to gaze nervously at her before the pod closed tight. He watched as the panels around the walls shined brightly and moved in a square pixilated pattern, before everything went white.


Anchorage Cliffs

"Come one, snap out of it" Naruto heard as his vision was temporarily blured, he felt cold, it wasn't hurt, so why did he? Maybe it had to do with the snow that was pressed against the back of his neck... wait, what?

Naruto shot up and looked around, there was snow everywhere... was this the simulation? It felt so real.

"That was one helluva nasty fall, when you're chute punched up like that I thought you were a goner, hope the other guys made it-" he turned to see a man, several years older than himself, wearing a winterized combat armor.

"I don't think their patrol spotted us coming in, so at least we still have the jump on them... you still have your gear so I'll let you make the call, we can go in quietly or guns blazing, we'll still meet at the rendezvouz then we'll blow those artillery guns to hell... just watch yourself, they don't take prisoners up here" he warned before making his way down the path ahead.

Naruto figured it was part of the simulation and took a look at his equipment, a Trench Knife, a silenced 10mm Pistol; he now wore the same armor as his companion, carried fifty bobby pins, and a peculiar device on his wrist (Stealth Boy).

"Well then let's get to it!" he stated before following his virtual companion down the same road.


Next Chapter: Operation Anchorage

AN: Sup guys, not much to talk about except for which weapon to place in from either Dead Space or Mass Effect, so I'll let you guys decide. Vote for either you're own Custom Dead Space 3 Weapon or a Mass Effect weapon, only one will be made at the end of Anchorage so choose wisely, if many have voted for custom weapon then please state the parts you used in your review, I will create and use the weapon within the game and have you guys vote for the top-three.

Anyway to answer a few questions from several of my stories.

Arch Mage Jinchuuriki

- The reason Naruto was able to hear the Basilisk will be explained, its something we authors do to mix things up remember not everything has to be exactly the way it is in the book or movies. For those who have an idea of why Harry was not able to was because Naruto is ONE of Salazar's LIVING heirs, now much like how the Uchiha and Senju descended from the Sage of Six Paths. Both Naruto and Voldemort are from Slytherin's linage, but we all know that our favorite blonde will never walk down that path. Also, because Harry was a Horcrux I've made it so that he would have to confront the Basilisk at least once before he too could hear it (Which will happen!).

Konoha's Dovahkiin

- As you may notice the reason why he easily dispatched of Itachi and Kisame was due to them having no knowledge of Shouts or Spells for that matter, and as you may notice that soon he will become a hybrid and will gain properties of a vampire, so yeah he's strong know though it may or may not become a god-like fic, it'll all be played out on how I write things, and I may take suggestions from time to time.

Devil Among Shinobi

-Yes the story will be updated soon, I know you fans of DMC have been wanting to see how the four devils, a lightning demon, two Kiri Nuke Nin, a demon huntress, and Sasuke's Sister do in the Kiri Rebellion, so please wait till next month when I bring out chapters for all my stories (Excluding [NaruTo!]).

The Darkest Light

- Yes, Naruto will and already has skills similar to Menma (Uzumaki) so yes he can manifest physical constructs of his own chakra.

The V-Kaiser

- Unlike how everybody's been writing, yes I think I will have Veemon abosrb a Deva or two with the season 2 DigiEggs. And no Leomon won't die in this story and I'll have him go Ultimate (For once), finally I do infact plan on having a golden Digi-egg for Imperialdramon don't want to name it determination since its over used so I'll call it the Digi-egg of Unity. Unless someone can come up with something better, along with his Kindness evolution, Kangarumon doesn't really suit Veemon very well.

Nuclear Badlands

- No Naruto will not be returning to his world as he doens't know its name nor its coordinates, but they will however travel to the Mojave together. Also does Naruto already know a few jutsu, well if you count the academy jutsu then sure, just that he never practiced them, though Kawarimi is always useful ;P

- No, no one else from Naruto's world will be joining him, reason why I had him taken before acquiring Kage Bunshin, quiet frankly, he doesn't fucking need clones to kick ass, I know it sounds like an immature response but, you guys know I'm right. Next will Naruto gain his super charisma... ... ... ... sure why not, just not right away, like that one saying, actions speak more than words.

- Pairing is on the description for those who haven't read it Naruto (Courier Six) x Kat (Lone Wonderer).

- Mothership Zeta Crew Mod, sorry guys don't have the PC version so I've never heard or tried it before though I might introduce it in part 2.

- To my good man Culaio, yes I've read them... their okay by my standard, might throw in a technique or two in Konoha's Dovahkiin.

Anyway that should be it, see ya guys next time, Ciao.
