I do not own RWBY and Fallout.
4 weeks later.
It had been a while since they left the Mojave. Unlike going with Happy Trails, it was more complicated and dangerous; looters and mutants. First, after leaving Nevada, they would go north to reach Ohio where the cold was unbearable. From there to Nebraska and into the Brotherhood of Steel territory of the Midwest to reach Chicago. go to the Southwest towards a place called "The pit" where it was a city of free slaves and the reason was one of the many caravans that joined, they needed steel and the few things that can only be produced there. And from there to the Capital Wasteland where it was a bombing zone, it was a nuclear desert with ruins, but the only good thing was the great source of purified water and then passing a few states and reaching the long-awaited Commonwealth. There they would arrive at the fixed destination that was Bunker Hill. After resting one day, the group would separate to go north to Sanctuary where they would see the neighborhood in ruins. Upon reaching a specific house, a Mr. Handy threatened them, but when he saw the children, he forgave them to stay in the neighborhood. but that they should not enter the house of their masters and on a hill the refuge 111.
"Finally," Six said, slightly tanned, but his arm was bandaged from a raider's attack with a Molotov.
"Now the million-tap question is whether it can still be downloaded".
"That doesn't worry me too much, what worries me is if we don't arrive too late" Ruby said worriedly.
"Yes, we agree on that," he said.
"So sixty" Yang joked with his name. "What kind of experiment awaits us?"
"Probably a crazy one, or one to satisfy Vault-Tec's curiosity" He said as he rolled a cigarette. "Okay, we'll do this. While the rest explore the ruins with that Mr. Handy. Me and Ruby will enter the vault in search of survivors."
"Why can't I go? They'll need a bit of strength" She said as he flexed his arm to emphasize his point.
"Your 'charisma' would give us trouble, Ruby is able to put a good face on the guards." Yang was going to discuss that, but reluctantly decided to go along with it.
"Okay, but if it takes more than an hour, I'll go in."
"I couldn't agree more" Ruby said, checking her weapons and then dressing up a bit, to give a good face. "I'm ready".
"Fine" He said throwing away the cigarette and putting it out with a boot. "Let's do this".
They would go to a booth where there would be a red button. When activated, the discolored platform would be ready and they would go to start going down. In the distance someone would see them to take out a communicator. When he finished reporting he would leave his hiding place, the game had become interesting. When they reached the bottom, a metal gate separated them from the entrance to the shelter, which would rise with a creak and then the gear would open. Upon entering the shelter they would see that there was an infestation of spider mites and some skeletons.
"I don't want to ruin my hopes, kid, but I don't think there's anyone anymore" He said watching how a rag-rat approached only to crush it with his boot.
"I know, but it will be worth investigating" Ruby said a little discouraged. While exploring the entrance. The entrance consisted of two closed entrances Approaching the panel, she would see a skeleton in a scientist's gown turned to ashes, but on her amputated wrist she had a Pip-Boy of a different model than the one she and Six had. He would keep it in his backpack, if necessary. The door on the left side would be opened by Six, but letting in several radroaches. Six just used her revolver to fire quick shots at them clearing the way.
"This way," Six said, and they moved down the narrow hallway. "This looks more like a laboratory than a shelter."
"It seems" Ruby said attentive to anything. She would enter a room where they supposed it was the supervisor's office where there was a 10 mm pistol with chargers, three estimulants, a holotape with a game and in a cabin that Ruby forced with six attempts there was a weapon that had "Cryolator" written on the side. "which was a weapon that ejected a cold component that was capable of freezing anything; He discovered it when he fired the gun at a glass that ended up in a block of ice.
"Weiss will love this" He said putting it in his backpack. Six manipulated the supervisor's terminal to open all the doors. Next to that I read the files inside the terminal discovering what happened. The residents were part of a cryogenics experiment that led them to believe they would be decontaminated. Inside they had a 180-day supply for Vault-Tec's go-ahead, but the supervisor knew it was dangerous to open. Security demanded that they open it for resources. When the go-ahead came, security was furious that what was expected did not happen and they confronted the supervisor, the data of that event was impossible to decipher.
"I hope those who are inside are still alive" He said when he finished checking the terminal.
"We'd better keep going" Ruby said following the path of the door on the left side.
"This was stupid, everyone should have died."
"Don't blame yourself girl. You wanted to come and we just accompanied you."
"I know, but sometimes I'm stubborn," she said. Six just put her hand on his shoulder.
"Calm down, let's just finish this and we'll go back to New Vegas" She just smiled at that.
"Ok". After advancing through the corridors they would arrive at one of the cryogenic rooms where they would see the residents completely frozen, when they checked the terminal they would see that everyone was dead inside. In the other they did the same, but there was someone alive. When activating its capsule, it would defrost the subject. When it opened, a man would come out, but would fall to the ground. Ruby ran to catch him. This would see how he tried to reach the other capsule
"He is okay?" Ruby said concerned. He was wearing the shelter jumpsuit with 111 on the back. He wanted to get there, but he would just sigh.
"Yeah..." she said trying not to cry.
"Who are you? I didn't see you at the shelter."
"I'm Ruby Rose, we received a distress message and we've come if there are any survivors" She said helping him up to his feet.
"Was there anyone else?" I ask while trying to stay upright.
"You were the only one" Six said looking at the departed.
"Damn...Wait, how long have I been disinfecting myself?"
"You've been frozen for two hundred and ten years." That would surprise him.
"Shit, so... the great war is over, is the surface habitable?"
"It is, but there are mutants, raiders and the radiation is still deadly" Ruby said.
"Do you know who you are?". The man tried to remember his life, but he did not get many memories, except for three things, when he met with his family to listen to the silver shroud, see himself in the mirror, the end of the world and... the death of his wife Nora together with the kidnapping of his son Shaun, he would clench his fists in anger, for not getting out of that capsule and saving his family, now he had a goal.
Find the son of a bitch who killed Nora and find his son.
"I'm Nate and I want to get out of here," he said with a raised tone. Ruby would notice by having a Deja Vu.
"Yeah...there is. It's the main entrance, but you're going to need this." Pulling out the Pip-Boy.
"That was used by the scientist who put us in those capsules, what is that?".
"It's called the Pip-Boy and it allows you to see your health, radius, inventory, map and send messages to anyone with one" emphasizing his own Pip-Boy. "Believe me it will be useful to you."
Nate took it to put it on his left wrist, he felt a sting, but it lasted briefly before Vault-Boy appeared giving him a thumbs up giving an OK and then he walked out with several on his body members.
"Fine" He was going to leave, but he needs to do something. "I'll see you at the start, I need to do something."
Ruby was going to say something, but Six would stop her. "We better do what he says."
She would accept and go with Six, leaving Nate alone who opened Nora's capsule, seeing her frozen, she just lowered her head and sobbed a little, but she wiped those tears away.
"Forgive me, I couldn't protect you...but I promise to find Shaun. I swear" He would take out the ring she had and put it on her.
He would lower the capsule again to leave here, this refuge brought him impotence and anger. Upon reaching the exit, the elevator would be activated because it was activated earlier thanks to Six, As they went up he would see Nate who had a frown and two rings on his hand, 'Why does he remind me of Six when I first met him?' Ruby wondered when she saw him. Little did he know that he was now involved in a huge change.
